 be an indicator of a healthy command climate. When Soldiers within a unit understand the mission and commander's intent, they ultimately possess a mental blueprint of "why" the unit executes a particular operation. People are simply more satisfied at work when they understand the purpose of the mission or the unit. When Soldiers are given the "why" of a particular operation, this information engenders a sense of belonging – creating a sense of pride in the unit, motivating mission accomplishment. Leaders who take the time to explain the purpose of the operation can commit to the task and empower subordinates
to contribute to the solution. A simple way to gauge subordinate understanding is through routine back-briefs or merely asking if the Soldier understands the importance of the specific task or mission. If Soldiers understand the mission and purpose; it indicates that leaders are taking the time to communicate effectively to the lowest levels. When Soldiers are well-informed, they feel as though the unit's leadership cares about them, promoting a strong command climate.
plan. Counseling takes time and deliberate effort. Soldiers understand and appreciate their leaders' investment in their professional development, recognizing that leaders have insightful knowledge and valuable experience to share. Leaders who
take the time to counsel subordinates will develop
a healthy command climate. A way for leaders to assess the level of professional growth counseling within their organizations is to inspect counseling packets simply. One inspection method is to review a subordinate leader's counseling packets while
that leader reports for counseling. For example, a company commander's quarterly counseling with his/her platoon leaders can begin with the company commander reviewing the platoon leader's subordinate's counseling packets. This method assesses both the frequency and the quality of the counseling while also stressing its importance.
Causes of a Negative Command Climate
After understanding the positive and negative indicators mentioned above, what are some
of the causes of an adverse command climate? Commanders are ultimately responsible for an organization's climate, but subordinate leaders may contribute to a negative command climate. Indecisive leadership and constant changes
in expectations within a unit can frustrate subordinates. Soldiers want to do right by their leadership, but leaders in an organization are duty-bound to provide the purpose, direction, and motivation required to accomplish the mission. Soldiers expect leaders to both plan and prepare before execution, not during. Soldiers do not fear hard work, but they dread having to do the same work multiple times because expectations were not clearly defined. Indecisiveness among a unit's leadership can foster a negative command climate.
While indecision by leadership can cripple
a unit's command climate, clearly defined –
but unachievable – expectations set by a unit's leadership can have the same effect. In 1964, Yale School of Management Professor Victor Vroom developed "Expectancy Theory," or the expectancy theory of motivation. This theory presumes that an individual will execute a task as long as three key variables are met; expectancy, performance, and outcome. The theory (often referred to as EPO) denotes an equation that links all three variables to determine if an individual will have the motivation

Signs and Indicators
 Soldiers come to work to perform well; the Soldier's leadership's feedback is necessary for the Soldier to understand that they are executing their duties to standard. Organizations that provide regular developmental counseling to their Soldiers can indicate a healthy command climate. Routine counseling is an opportunity for leaders and subordinates to assess individual and unit strengths and weaknesses, subsequently developing a personal and organizational growth

Irene and Nigar at iWEC
By Irene Montes
It was a cold crisp November morning when I arrived at the Berns Hotel, located in the city of Stockholm, Sweden, commonly known as the Venice of the North. This is where the 8th Annual IWEC conference was held. The topic was " Insuring the Health of Your Business in a Global Competitive Market" . The conference was organized by the Chamber Trade Sweden and IWEC (International Women Entrepreneurial Challenge). IWEC is a project that promotes the development of international business networks for women and acknowledges women's entrepreneurial endeavors in national and international markets, through the fostering of women's empowerment across the globe. IWEC provides mentorships opportunities to women-owned SME's by allowing them to learn about international business scenarios, leadership skills and competences needed to tackle international markets.
Tillsammans! Which means together in Swedish was the word that powered our conference for the following days. It was derived from the African word UBUNTU, which originated at the Cape Town 2011 conference. These words and concepts encouraged the participants to create relationships amongst each other, to expand their networks and to imagine the future possibilities ahead.
During the two day conference, we heard each of the 33 awardees present their businesses to each other. It was astonishing to see how women from different backgrounds and from high risk circumstances were able to rise above all of the problems that each of them faced. These problems had meant for some of them incredibly drastic changes in their lives that had forced them to take a leap in order to provide for their families; others had fought against prejudice of men in male powered markets. After the presentations, we were able to enjoy a series of three presentations focusing on "the Health of your Community and the World Economy". These were all superb talks but, it was the last presentation entitled "Promoting Women's Entrepreneurship in Complex Environments" that spoke to my soul. It was the very first time I heard about Nina Magazine.
The presentation was made by Madeleine White, Editor-in-Chief of Nina Magazine. She shared her experience of creating Nina Magazine. She also described a the profound changes that Nina Magazine has enabled for Iraqi women. Collaborative women's empowerment has been created through the sharing of positive experiences in the country and through the diaspora. She talked about listening to voices everywhere and gave us Nina, a trailblazer and medium that has created awareness to the opportunities in Iraq. It has brought hope to Iraqi women living at home and abroad. Stories of real people and their achievements are shared through Nina, which has united one nation for a common goal, to move forward and to leave the past behind.
The talk was specifically moving to me because I am a women raised by a single mother in the city Tegucigalpa, Honduras a country in the epicenter of Central America. A country that has been plagued by violence in recent years due to corruption and drug related wars, a country that has been labeled as one of the most dangerous countries in the world even though it is not currently at war. A country where women are still subject to violent abuse. I came to Sweden as a Scholarship Awardee of the Swedish Institute to undertake a Masters Degree in Textile Management specialized in Value Chain Management at the University of Borås. One of my major non-professional related drivers is to let people know that my country Honduras is not all of that is portrayed in mainstream media, where you can't see the really wonderful "real" people we are, the diverse ecosystems and the breathtaking sceneries it has to offer.
Nina is a milestone in the potential prosperous journey of the magazine, which has the possibility to extend its network to many countries and empower women, bringing hope to those who need it the most.
Thank you Nina Magazine.

Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) is a crystal that is used as a laser medium for solid-state lasers.
Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet; Nd:Y3Al5O12) is a crystal that is used as a lasing medium for solid-state lasers. The dopant, triply ionized neodymium, Nd, typically replaces a small fraction of the yttrium ions in the host crystal structure of the yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), since the two ions are of similar size.It is the neodymium ion which provides the lasing activity in the crystal, in the same fashion as red chromium ion in ruby lasers.
The Nd:YAG laser was the first type of laser used in urological practice. It uses a crystal of neodymium that produces a light invisible at a continuous wavelength of 1064 nm.
Nd:YAG lasers emitting light at 1064 nm have been the most widely used laser for laser-induced thermotherapy, in which benign or malignant lesions in various organs are ablated by the beam. In oncology, Nd:YAG lasers can be used to remove skin cancers.

For the 50th anniversary of the Cybermen in September 2016, a brief continuation of the Cybermen comic series from the 1990s was released in DWM 504. It was given the name The Prodigal Returns in the contents page of the magazine.
The story was told with two pages: one at the beginning of the magazine and one at the end. Like the audio story Flip Flop, the story involved a temporal loop, meaning the order the pages were read in didn't affect the story. The pages also heavily resembled each other in terms of frame composition and dialogue.
Page 1 Edit
After its separation from Earth, Mondas is ruled by Cybermen. The Cybermen detect an object falling through Mondas' atmosphere. They fire missiles, but they miss and the object lands. An ape with Cyberman-like modifications comes out of the crashed object. The ape is captured and taken to a laboratory to be analysed.
The Cyberman scientists theorise that the ape came from a cosmic cloud, a moving distortion in space-time that appeared shortly before the ape crashed into Mondas. They theorise that there must be an entire planet of apes on the other side of the cosmic cloud and decide to send a scout through the cloud to begin a cyber-conversion of this species. As the Cybermen prepare to vivisect it, the ape thinks about how it will never complete its mission by returning to its home: Mondas.
Page 2 Edit
Before its separation from Earth, Mondas is ruled by Lizard Kings. They detect an object falling through Mondas' atmosphere. They fire missiles, but the object swerves through them and lands. A damaged Cyberman emerges from its crashed ship. The Cyberman is captured and taken to a laboratory to be analysed.
The Lizard King Chief Scientist theorises that the Cyberman came from a cosmic cloud, a moving distortion in space-time that appeared shortly before the Cyberman crashed into Mondas. The Queen of the Lizard Kings suggests that they could use the cloud to escape Mondas before the fast-approaching rogue planet threatens the nearby planet Earth. She decides to send an augmented ape through the cloud to test if it could be used. As the Lizard Kings prepare to vivisect the Cyberman, it thinks about how it will never complete its mission by returning to its home: Mondas.

Persistence and Attainment
The second follow-up of students who began their postsecondary education in 1989–90 provides an opportunity to examine persistence and degree attainment after approximately 5 years, by which time rates of attainment for a bachelor's degree become meaningful.
Overall, half of all 1989–90 beginning postsecondary students had earned some type of degree by 1994. Another 13 percent were still enrolled, and the remaining 37 percent had left without attaining and were not enrolled in 1994 (Nuñez and Cuccaro-Alamin 1998). First-generation students were less likely than other students to have earned a bachelor's degree (13 versus 33 percent), about as likely to have earned an associate's degree (13 and 14 percent, respectively), and more likely to have earned a vocational certificate (18 versus 9 percent). First-generation students were also more likely than others to have left without a degree (45 versus 29 percent).
Multivariate analysis confirms that, among those who intended to earn a degree or certificate, first-generation students were less likely to reach their goals even after controlling for other factors also related to persistence and attainment, including socioeconomic status, age, enrollment status, sex, race/ethnicity, type of institution, and academic and social integration. In other words, first-generation status appears to be a disadvantage throughout postsecondary education that is independent of other background and enrollment factors. For this cohort, information on their financial aid history and high school coursetaking is not available. Thus their effects on persistence cannot be determined.

In countries that hold equality is important, clustering occurs between groups because of polarizing factors such as religion, wealth or ethnocentrism. Clustering is often considered an enriching part of free cultures in which one can visit a Chinatown or a French quarter for restaurant choices. Other sociologists assert that clustering of like minded individuals leads to political polarity and intolerance of contrary opinions, as the United States has allegedly been trending since the 1950s.

How Peanuts Grow...
Unlike most plants, the peanut plant flowers above the ground, but fruits below ground.
From planting to harvesting, the growing cycle of a peanut takes 4 to 5 months, depending on the type and variety.
Many people are surprised to learn that peanuts do not grow on trees like pecans or walnuts. Peanuts are legumes, not tree nuts, since we refer to them as nuts at times.
First, seeds are planted.
USA peanuts are planted after the last frost in April through May, when soil temperatures reach 65°—70°F. Farmers plant specially grown and treated peanut kernels from the previous year's crop about two inches deep, approximately one to two inches apart in rows. Pre-planting tillage ensures a rich, well-prepared seedbed. For a good crop, 120 to 140 frost free days are required.
Seedlings Crack the Soil
Peanut seedlings rise out of the soil about 10 days after planting. They grow into a green oval-leafed plant about 18 inches tall. Unlike most plants, the peanut plant flowers above the ground, but fruits below ground.
Yellow flowers emerge around the lower portion of the plant about 40 days after planting. When the flowers pollinate themselves, the petals fall off as the peanut ovary begins to form.
"Pegging" is a Unique Feature
This budding ovary is called a "peg." The peg enlarges and grows down and away from the plant forming a small stem which extends to the soil. The peanut embryo is in the tip of the peg, which penetrates the soil. The embryo turns horizontal to the soil surface and begins to mature taking the form of a peanut. The plant continues to grow and flower, eventually producing some 40 or more pods. From planting to harvesting, the growing cycle of a peanut takes 4 to 5 months, depending on the type and variety.
Watering is a Must
Peanut plants need 1½ to 2 inches of water per week during kernel development. If rain does not meet those needs, farmers will irrigate the fields. Without adequate rainfall, non-irrigated peanuts begin to show drought stress. The peanut is a nitrogen-fixing plant; its roots form modules which absorb nitrogen from the air and provide enrichment and nutrition to the plant and soil.
Harvest 120 to 160 Days After Planting.
When the plant has matured and the peanuts are ready for harvest, the farmer waits until the soil is not too wet or too dry before digging. When conditions are right, he or she drives a digger up and down the green rows of peanut plants. The digger has long blades that run four to six inches under the ground. The plant is loosened and the tap root is severed. Just behind the blade, a shaker lifts the plant from the soil, gently shakes the direct from the peanuts, rotates the plant and lays the plant back down in a "windrow"—with peanuts up and leaves down.
Peanuts contain 25 to 50 percent moisture when first dug and must be dried to 10 percent or less so they can be stored. They are usually left in windrows for two or three days to cure, or dry before being combined.
Combining is the Last Step.
After drying in the field, a combine separates the peanuts from the vines, placing the peanuts into a hopper on the top of the machine and depositing the vines back in the field. Freshly dug peanuts are then placed into peanut wagons for further curing with forced warm air circulating through the wagon. In this final stage, the moisture content is reduced to 10 percent for storage.

NengoDL allows Keras models to be integrated directly into a NengoDL network, through the use of nengo_dl.TensorNode (see this example). However, rather than keeping a model defined in Keras/TensorFlow, sometimes we may want to convert it to a native Nengo model (composed only of Nengo objects, such as nengo.Ensemble and nengo.Connection). One reason we might want to do this is if we want to be able to run the model on different Nengo backends. Keras models can only run in the NengoDL Simulator, but a native Nengo model can run in any Nengo Simulator (including backends for specialized neuromorphic hardware). Another reason we might want to convert a Keras model to a Nengo network is so that we can use Nengo's spiking neuron types rather than the standard Keras/TensorFlow activation functions.
Whatever the motivation, the nengo_dl.Converter tool is designed to automate the translation from Keras to Nengo as much as possible. To use it, simply instantiate a Keras model and then pass it to the Converter:
inp = tf.keras.Input(shape=(28, 28, 3))
conv = tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(filters=32, kernel_size=3, activation=tf.nn.relu)(inp)
flat = tf.keras.layers.Flatten()(conv)
dense = tf.keras.layers.Dense(units=10, activation=tf.nn.relu)(flat)
model = tf.keras.Model(inputs=inp, outputs=dense)
converter = nengo_dl.Converter(model)
The Converter object will have a.net attribute which is the converted Nengo network. This can then be passed to a Nengo Simulator. For example, we could run that converted Keras network in the standard Nengo (not NengoDL) Simulator:
with nengo.Simulator( as sim:
The converter also has.inputs and.outputs attributes which can be used to look up the Nengo Nodes/Probes corresponding to the Keras model inputs/outputs. For example, to see the output of the converted network:
nengo_dl.Converter has many options that control different aspects of the conversion process. For example, we could change all the tf.nn.relu activation functions in the Keras model to spiking neurons:
converter = nengo_dl.Converter(
 model, swap_activations={tf.nn.relu: nengo.SpikingRectifiedLinear()})
We will not go into all the available options here; see the API docs for more details.
Keep in mind that the Converter is designed to automate the translation process as much as possible, but it will not work for all possible Keras networks. In general, the Converter will fall back to using TensorNodes for any elements that cannot be converted to native Nengo objects (set allow_fallback=False if you would like this to be an error instead). The Converter.verify function can be used to check that the output of the Nengo network matches the output of the Keras model.
Extending the converter
Since we know that it will not be possible to automatically translate all possible Keras models, the Converter has been designed to be easily extensible. So if you have a model containing elements that the Converter does not know how to translate, you can augment the Converter with custom conversion logic.
For example, suppose we have a model containing a custom Keras layer:
class AddOne(tf.keras.layers.Layer):
 def call(self, inputs):
 return inputs + 1
inp = tf.keras.Input(shape=(1,))
dense = tf.keras.layers.Dense(units=10)(inp)
addone = AddOne()(dense)
model = tf.keras.Model(inputs=inp, outputs=addone)
Converter would fail to convert this model to native Nengo objects, since it does not know how to translate the AddOne layer:
converter = nengo_dl.Converter(model, allow_fallback=False)
Traceback (most recent call last):
TypeError: Unable to convert layer add_one to native Nengo objects
We could set allow_fallback=True to use a TensorNode to implement the AddOne layer, but suppose we want to use native Nengo objects instead. We need to make a custom nengo_dl.converter.LayerConverter subclass, which contains the logic for translating an AddOne layer. Note that this may require some knowledge of how Keras layers work under the hood, which is not extensively documented. Your best bet may be to look at the existing LayerConverter classes to find a similar Layer type to start from.
As an example, here is how we might translate the AddOne layer:
class ConvertAddOne(nengo_dl.converter.LayerConverter):
 def convert(self, node_id):
 # create a Nengo object representing the output of this layer node
 output = self.add_nengo_obj(node_id)
 # connect up the input of the layer node
 self.add_connection(node_id, output)
 # create a node to output a constant 1 vector
 bias = nengo.Node([1] * output.size_in)
 # connect up the bias node to the output (thereby adding one to the
 # input values)
 conn = nengo.Connection(bias, output, synapse=None)
 # mark the above connection as non-trainable (since we didn't have any
 # trainable parameters in the AddOne layer, we don't want any in the
 # converted Nengo equivalent either)
 self.set_trainable(conn, False)
 return output
And now if we try to convert the original Keras model, we can see that it is successfully transformed into a native Nengo network:
converter = nengo_dl.Converter(model, allow_fallback=False)
assert converter.verify()

Dye localization is a useful method for the resection of unidentifiable small pulmonary lesions. This study compares the transbronchial route with augmented fluoroscopic bronchoscopy (AFB) and conventional transthoracic CT-guided methods for preoperative dye localization in thoracoscopic surgery.
Between April 2015 and March 2019, a total of 231 patients with small pulmonary lesions who received preoperative dye localization via AFB or percutaneous CT-guided technique were enrolled in the study. A propensity-matched analysis, incorporating preoperative variables, was used to compare localization and surgical outcomes between the two groups.
After matching, a total of 90 patients in the AFB group (N = 30) and CT-guided group (N = 60) were selected for analysis. No significant difference was noted in the demographic data between both the groups. Dye localization was successfully performed in 29 patients (96.7%) and 57 patients (95%) with AFB and CT-guided method, respectively. The localization duration (24.1 ± 8.3 vs. 21.4 ± 12.5 min, p = 0.297) and equivalent dose of radiation exposure (3.1 ± 1.5 vs. 2.5 ± 2.0 mSv, p = 0.130) were comparable in both the groups. No major procedure-related complications occurred in either group; however, a higher rate of pneumothorax (0 vs. 16.7%, p = 0.029) and focal intrapulmonary hemorrhage (3.3 vs. 26.7%, p = 0.008) was noted in the CT-guided group.
AFB dye marking is an effective alternative for the preoperative localization of small pulmonary lesions, with a lower risk of procedure-related complications than the conventional CT-guided method.

I've seen all kinds of measures to protect data from unauthorized access. Among them, a valuable tool that highlights physical safety: The Mantrap. You might be wondering, what exactly is a Mantrap? And how can it ensure cybersecurity? In this article, I'll take you through everything you need to know about Mantraps – the modern, effective, and secure solution to protect your organization's most sensitive areas. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and let's dive right in!
What best describes a mantrap?
Some common features of a mantrap include:
Overall, a mantrap provides an effective means of controlling access to secure areas and preventing unauthorized individuals from entering. Its unique design ensures that only one person can pass through the space at a time, enhancing security and mitigating the risk of breaches.
???? Pro Tips:
1. A mantrap is a physical security mechanism designed to control access to a restricted area and prevent unauthorized entry.
2. Typically, a mantrap consists of two or more interlocking doors, creating a small area between them that can only be entered by one person at a time.
3. The primary purpose of a mantrap is to prevent tailgating or piggybacking, where an unauthorized person follows closely behind an authorized person to gain entry.
4. Mantraps are commonly used in high-security facilities such as government buildings, data centers, and financial institutions.
5. When implementing a mantrap, it's essential to ensure that the construction of the mantrap, as well as the access control systems used to regulate it, comply with relevant security standards and regulations.
A Definition of Mantrap
A mantrap is a controlled entry space that is designed to restrict unauthorized access to secured areas. It is a physical security measure that is commonly used to protect sensitive areas such as data centers, server rooms, high-security government facilities, and financial institutions. The main objective of a mantrap is to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the secured area.
The Components of a Mantrap
A mantrap usually consists of two sets of doors that are electronically controlled and interlocked. This means that when an individual enters the first set of doors, they are locked in a small space between the two doors until they have been authorized to enter the secured area. The interior door will remain locked until approval has been granted, and only after that, would it open to let the authorized person inside.
The Purpose of a Mantrap
The primary purpose of a mantrap is to regulate and monitor access to restricted areas. Individuals must first be authenticated before they can enter the restricted area. This is just to ensure that only authorized personnel are granted access. The mantrap is also effective in controlling the flow of people into restricted areas, as it only allows one person to enter the secured area at a time.
Types of Mantraps
There are different types of mantraps that are designed to cater to specific security needs. Some of them include:
- Airlocks: These are mantraps that are typically used in clean rooms and healthcare facilities to control air pressure and prevent contamination.
- Security Portals: These are mantraps that usually include metal detectors, X-ray machines, and other screening devices to scan individuals and their belongings before entering the secured area.
- Bullet-Resistant Mantraps: These are mantraps that are specifically designed to protect against firearm threats and bullets.
Benefits of Implementing a Mantrap
Implementing a mantrap has several benefits that make it an effective security measure. Some of the benefits include:
- Providing Physical Barrier: The mantrap provides a physical barrier that's difficult to overcome. It prevents unauthorized access, and this provides greater security for the secured area.
- Detecting Unauthorized Access: The mantrap helps to detect and prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas.
- Monitoring and Recording: The mantrap often features monitoring and recording systems that ensure that all activities within the mantrap are tracked.
Security Measures in Mantraps
Mantraps usually include multiple security measures. Some of these measures can include:
- Electronic Access Control: This system ensures that only authorized personnel can enter the secured area. It includes biometric and card readers.
- CCTV: Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are placed throughout the mantrap to monitor individuals and their movements.
- Alarm System: The alarm system is integrated into the mantrap to alert security personnel in the event of unauthorized access or a breach.
- Physical Obstacles: The mantrap is typically designed with physical obstacles, including reinforced walls, to prevent unauthorized access.
To conclude, a mantrap is an effective security measure designed to restrict unauthorized access to restricted areas. It provides a physical barrier to prevent unauthorized access, includes multiple security measures such as CCTV, electronic access control, and alarm systems, and can protect against different types of threats. Implementing a mantrap offers great benefits in enhancing security for sensitive areas.

The National History Bee is a buzzer-based history quiz competition for individual students. Please see below for a comprehensive account of how the Bee works. If you have any further questions, please email our International Director, Mrs. Nolwenn Léon Madden
In order to compete in the History Bee, you must be 18 years or younger at the time of your Regional Bee. If you turn 19 before the National Championships, that's okay. You must also be enrolled in a high school or younger school or a comparable secondary school that corresponds to an American high school in terms of the age range served (i.e. no schools that are comparable to universities).
In order to compete in the Junior Varsity Division of the History Bee, you must be 16 years or younger at the time of the Regional Bee. If you are in an American high school, or an institution that follows a comparable age division, you cannot be in the upper two years (i.e. above tenth grade) even if you are 16 or younger. If in doubt, ask the Tournament Coordinator or Tournament Director for your tournament, or better yet, contact the Tournament Coordinator in advance.
There is no younger age limit – a brilliant and well-behaved 8 year-old is welcome to compete. Likewise, there is no limit on types of schools – local, international, public, private, religious, American schools abroad, etc. are all welcome. Students from the 50 US states may compete if they have not competed yet this year, but then forfeit their eligibility for any other tournaments in the USA.
Students are only allowed to compete at one Regional Bee in Asia this year.
At all History Bees, there are three preliminary rounds of 30 questions each. In each round, you'll be in a room with 5-10 students. Usually, it's 6 or 7. Depending on how many students are competing (see below under "Final Round Structure" for a full explanation) the 2, 5, or 10 highest scorers from the preliminary rounds in both the Varsity division and the Junior Varsity division, then compete in the final rounds. The Junior Varsity and Varsity divisions are kept entirely separate – there is no crossover, including in the final rounds. Each round takes about 20-30 minutes to complete, including the finals.
In a History Bee round, we feature thirty tossup questions. Students each have a buzzer and attempt to be the first student to ring in and answer correctly. Students may ring in at any point in the question – they are encouraged to interrupt the moderator to do so. After they ring in, they give their answer. If they are correct, they get a point. If incorrect, they cannot buzz again on the question. Three incorrect answers given will end the question, at which point the moderator reveals the answer. They do not normally lose a point if they are incorrect except if they are the third student to answer incorrectly before the end of the question, in which case, they do lose a point (so it is possible, conceivably to have a negative score). If the question has been read to completion, three incorrect answers will still end the question, but no penalty will be assessed.
Once a student has reached 8 points, that student is done for that round. But, students receive bonus points based on how early they reach 8 points. The following table summarizes the bonus structure:
Reaching 8 pts on or before question… Results in this many bonus pts… And thus this many total pts…
Twelve Five Thirteen
Fifteen Four Twelve
Twenty Three Eleven
Twenty-Five Two Ten
Thirty One Nine
Since there are 30 questions in a round, it is thus impossible to finish the round with a score of eight points exactly.
Students are grouped into different groups for each of the three rounds. For the 2012-2013 school year, questions can reference all eras and places in history throughout each round. After all three rounds, the scores from all rounds are added up, and the top students advance to the finals.
Final Round Structure
In the final round, the top two, five or ten students in both the Varsity and Junior Varsity Divisions all compete at once. If starting with ten, they seek to then be among the first five students to reach three points. Then, the scores reset to zero, and the five remaining students seek to be among the first two students to reach four points. Finally, the scores reset to zero again, and the remaining two students seek to be the first to reach five points. Whether we take two, five, or ten students into the finals will be announced at the start of the Bee – it depends on how many teams attend, and how many students compete in each division. A field needs at least 12 students to take the top five into the final, and a field needs at least 25 students to take the top 10 into the final. If both the Varsity and Junior Varsity Divisions have over 25 competing students, we will take ten from the Varsity division and five from the Junior Varsity.
In the History Bowl, there are a number of different question styles. In the Bee, by contrast, all questions are "pyramidal" tossups, where we start with more obscure information and move to more familiar information. Questions cover the history of the arts, sciences, religion, philosophy, languages, historical geography, recent history and the history of sports and entertainment in addition to the usual social, political, and military history. In the final rounds, the questions are, on average, slightly longer and more difficult. Here are a few examples of preliminary and finals questions:
Sample Preliminary Questions
The northern tip of this island was home to this nation's Jaffna kingdom, which ruled at the same time as other empires on this modern country like the Kotte Kingdom and the Kandy Kingdom. For the point, name this Asian island nation, the site of the Tamil Tigers separatist movement, which was once known as Ceylon.
ANSWER: Sri Lanka [or Ceylon before mentioned]
It was announced in a graduation speech given at Harvard University and designed in part by William Clayton, George Kennan, and a Secretary of State. For the point, name this American economic plan that intended to halt the spread of Communism by providing financial support to European nations, which was conducted under Harry S. Truman.
ANSWER: Marshall Plan or European Recovery Plan or ERP
Sample Finals Questions
This leader's accomplishments include putting down Nayan's rebellion and installing Wonjong as the ruler of the Goryeo dynasty of Korea. Three times, he attempted to invade Vietnam along with his brother Mongke, and his two attempts to invade Japan were both cut short by severe typhoons known as kamikaze. He employed Marco Polo and his father as ambassadors. For 10 points, name this founder of the Yuan Dynasty, a grandson of Genghis Khan.
ANSWER: Kublai Khan
This navy sent an expedition to Mexico on the San Buena Ventura, a ship built by William Adams. This navy was instructed to only allow passage to ships abiding by the Red Seal system. This navy was crushed by Admiral Yi Sun-sin and his turtle ships during an abortive invasion of Korea. For 10 points, name this navy that was led by Admiral Yamamoto during World War II.
ANSWER: Japanese Navy [accept Tokogawa navy until "Yamamoto"]

One potters wheel

Watt, James
1 Potters wheel.
This item is part of the contents of the workshop that Scottish engineer James Watt developed at his home, Heathfield, at Handsworth, Birmingham. Although Watt is best known for his work on the steam engine, his workshop contains a wide variety of objects from many different projects, from chemistry to sculpture-copying.
The description of the item was written by Edward Collins, the land agent responsible for Heathfield when the workshop was given to the Science Museum in 1924. Collins could not always identify what he was looking at, but always described what he saw clearly. This has allowed his descriptions to form the basis of subsequent research.
Although Collins described this as a 'potter's wheel', it is actually a mill for grinding or polishing lenses or specula (curved mirrors for telescopes). A driving band, probably crossed to increase the length in contact with each, should connect the two pulleys. For use it would have been placed on a bench. Either the article to be ground or the "tool" against which it was to be ground would have been cemented to the disc, and the other would have been held in one hand and worked over it while it was rotated by tuning the winch with the other hand.

Reflection Perception: 12 More Mirrored Art Installations
Mirrors can disrupt our perception of our environment, especially when they're positioned to blur the lines between land and sky, up and down, reality and reflection. These 12 (more) mirrored art installations dazzle us with glinting light, confuse us with illusions and invite us to question the difference between what we are shown and what we believe to be true.
Mirrored Ziggurat by Shirin Abedinirad

Slivers of the sky seem to hover in mid-air if you approach this mirrored ziggurat from one of its corners, the steps reflecting the sky while the walls reflect the grass. "In this installation I have been inspired by the pyramidal structure of Ziggurat, a common form of temple in ancient Mesopotamia, attempting to connect earth and sky, so humans could be nearer to god," says artist Shirin Abedinirad. "The Mirrored Ziggurat acts as a staircase, which seeks to connect nature with human beings and to create union of ancient history and today's world. The installation offers a transformative view of the self."
Dazzling Wolf by Tomoko Konoike

Tiny shards of mirrors reflect light all over the surrounding surfaces as they form a silvery fragmented coat for a six-legged wolf. Titled 'Donning Animal Skins and Braided Grass,' the sculpture by Tomoko Konoike draws inspiration from both tradition and pop culture in the form of manga and Shinto animism.
Landscapes Turned Upon Themselves

Portions of a three-dimensional landscape are cut out and pasted on top of themselves in a large-scale mirror series called A Moment's Reflection by Cody William Smith. The effect is most striking at night, when one side of the sky is dramatically different from the other. "My intention is to draw new connections between familiar forms by interdicting specular reflections to environments where none would typically exist. The mirrors serve as a focal point within a given scene and also function as a window to provide an entirely unique perspective on the same location."
Maze of Mirrors at Hyde Park

Visitors carefully navigate a maze full of mirrors in Sydney's Hyde Park, as it would be far too easy to just walk right into one of the reflective columns. Architecture firm Out of the Dark installed 81 mirrored posts with 423 reflective surfaces at the park as an interactive exhibit encouraging visitors to question what's real and what's an illusion.

The Carrapateena project is located within the Olympic Dam copper-gold province, a metallogenic belt along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton in South Australia, which hosts the Prominent Hill mine, Olympic Dam mine and the Moonta-Wallaroo historic mining district. The Gawler Craton comprises variably deformed and metamorphosed sedimentary, volcanic and plutonic rock spread from the Late Archean to Mesoproterozoic, and it has been subdivided into a series of domains, the Carrapateena deposit being part of the Olympic Domain. The age of the iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) mineralisation in the Gawler Craton is uncertain although it is interpreted in the literature to be associated with Mesoproterozoic magmatism of the Hiltaba Suite and the Gawler Range Volcanics.
The vast majority of copper and gold mineralisation within the deposit is hosted by hematite dominated breccias with moderate mineralisation occurring within hematite altered granite breccias (Eastern copper domain). Sulphides are the primary copper-bearing minerals in the Carrapateena Breccia Complex (CBC). Copper and gold mineralisation is structurally and chemically controlled, with subsequent alteration destroying mineralising structures. The most abundant sulphides are Chalcopyrite > Pyrite > Bornite, and constitute the vast majority of the sulphides at Carrapateena. The less common sulphides and their relative abundances are: Chalcocite ≈ Digenite ≈ Covellite >> Sphalerite ≈ Galena.
Gold mineralisation at Carrapateena is almost exclusively hosted by hematite altered breccias. Gold grains are usually very small (10 microns), and when seen in polished section, are often intimately associated with copper sulphides. Gold grains are commonly a combination of gold and minor silver (electrum).

Landscaping can be both fun and laborious–especially in a challenging environment like that of Amarillo.
The Panhandle of Texas has an interesting soil and climate that never fail to test the skills and ideas of landscapers within the city. If you are a novice in landscaping, you need to verify different things that will sooner or later affect the overall result of your venture.
Amarillo is known for its grand landscape – the beauty of its canyons simply shows that it truly has something to be proud of. However, if you want your home to be aesthetically appealing, be ready to deal with lots of things – soil, climate, plants and materials.
Amarillo is in the upper northwest area of Texas and according to most landscapers, rainfall in this area is unpredictable – sometimes too little or too much for them to handle. Precipitation in this section of the state is one among the many concerns of landscapers in Amarillo.
Factors that Affects Every Landscape
- Soil – our area is located in "high plains region", meaning, its garden soil is in clay composition so it remains soaked and saturated even after the rain but hard and cracked during hot and sunny days.
- Temperature – with its geographic position, Amarillo seems to have varying climates all year round. It is possible to have cold air rushing in coming from the north or blizzards during winter season and low humidity during scorching summer months.
- Wind – because this city is found in the western are of Tornado Alley, Amarillo is recognized as the third windiest city in the US.
Landscapers around the city understand that they need to defy these factors in order to come up with a brilliant idea that will satisfy their clienteles. If you have lived in Amarillo all your life, you might have an edge as you have felt and experienced living in this fascinating region.
With the factors mentioned above, you will recognize that not all plants will thrive in this area (without lots of help) except for the natives and some enduring species.
Get to Know its Climate Even More
Unlike any other city in Texas, according to Koppen Climate Classification, Amarillo has a semi-arid climate which changes temperature every now and then. It simply shows that it can steadily change from super cold to super-hot or vice versa.
The existence of blizzards every year is expected because of its aridity and altitude.
During winter days, cold air moves from the north going to the western parts of the region.
Usual forms of precipitation in Amarillo are light rain, thunderstorms, light snow and moderate rain. Though various observations of precipitation happens every year, this mostly starts every month of July.
On the other hand, the warm season happens from May to September where temperatures are extremely hot but precipitation is possible to occur once in a while. With these facts, a landscaper has to select a plant that can tolerate this kind of weather condition…
…because as you can see, the climate is kind of all over the place in the eyes of an Amarillo landscaper.
What Plants are Ideal in Amarillo
Obviously, not all growing plants can thrive in this kind of climate which fluctuates any time of the day. The best option for landscapers is species native in the area or those from North America.
Growing plants in Amarillo is quite tough, especially with its fickle soil. Proper amendments of compost and animal manure will help you fix your soil concern – one of the secrets in growing a garden in this elevated region.
Dracaena is a shrub that grows into a not-so-tall tree and is another species that thrives in Amarillo. Its leaves are mostly a combination of green and yellow in either light or dark shades can endure extreme temperatures.
Another option is the succulents which are drought resistant–so they don't need to drink constantly. They are a lot like cacti, surviving days with little water which they normally store in their leaves.
For an elegant outdoor look, planting bridal wreath spirea is the perfect choice. Its white blooming flowers in amass makes the entire plant lovely and attractive. It can endure a -5 degrees Fahrenheit temp and slight sunny days. This shrub grows fast, ideal if you want to change the entire look of your garden.
Proper Landscaping Design
Unlike any other cities where the entire area is flat and level, expect mild slopes and uneven corners within your garden, though there are usual flat surfaces as well.
On the other hand, this makes the entire landscaping design in Amarillo fun and exciting. When planning for a landscape design, it is important to take proper measurements of the vicinity that you want to enhance.
Landscapers won't start the project unless they have surveyed and checked the entire outdoor area. While checking, don't forget to determine which part of the area is shaded or exposed to the sun. During the landscaping process, your imagination has to work so you'll have a visualization of your finished design.
Don't forget to create a sketch of your plan and infuse other elements to add beauty and texture.
Also, don't compromise your materials to use as this will affect the overall appeal and durability of the project. A well-built foundation when starting makes a difference, especially when the structure you are building is elevated and big. Also, your pavements need proper attention as it carries different weights every day.
Amarillo is a demanding area to landscape but once done correctly, it can be satisfying.
To become successful in your landscaping venture, keep the weather and sunlight in mind and from there decide what plants are suitable to grow in that environment. Sometimes the best place to check for these plants is your local nursery; they usually have the best native plants.
Landscaping is not just to enhance the overall appeal of your home but you are adding value to it at the same time. Choose the right plants and materials, incorporate them to your unique design and you are good to go.

Both organisation and Branch Secretary responsible for branch's financial reports
Registered Organisations Commissioner v Australian Nursing Midwifery Federation FCA 1735 External link (opens in new window)
Registered Organisations Commissioner v Australian Nursing Midwifery Federation (No 2) FCA 2004 External link (opens in new window)
What were the issues?
An organisation was found to have breached the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the RO Act) when one of its branches failed to prepare, circulate and present its financial reports.
The branch's Secretary was also found to have breached his duties of care and diligence as an officer because of his failures to ensure the branch prepared financial reports in a timely way.
The Western Australian Branch of the Australian Nursing Midwifery Federation (ANMF) failed to prepare, circulate and present financial reports to its members, in accordance with the requirements of the RO Act, for the financial years ending 30 June 2010, 2011 and 2012.
The Branch Secretary had a duty under the organisation's rules to ensure the timely preparation, circulation and lodgement of the reports. He failed to meet his obligations under the rules and because of that failed to exercise his powers and discharge his duties with the care and diligence that a reasonable person in his position would exercise.
What can organisations learn from this?
Organisations must take the financial reporting obligations of their branches seriously.
If a branch fails to meet its obligations, the organisation is responsible. Also officers can be held personally responsible if they fail to meet their obligations under the organisation's rules.
The Court commended the efforts of the organisation in its attempts to ensure the branch lodged its reports with the regulator, as well as putting in place organisational arrangements to ensure future compliance by all branches. This resulted in a reduced penalty.
What did the judge say?
In his judgment on 13 November 2018, Justice Barker said at that the:
…failure to comply with the reporting obligations under the Act are… of considerable significance to the effective operation of the RO Act. Persons who exercise effective control of organisations in the manner that Mr Olson did, at material times, should not be encouraged to think that the reporting obligations can be treated lightly, such that they can easily expect to be excused for the contravention of their obligations.
Justice Barker emphasised at that organisations must understand that:
… the obligations imposed on them under the RO Act must be taken seriously.
What was the outcome and the penalty?
The Court found that because the Branch Secretary did not lodge financial reports on time between July 2010 and July 2013, he had not exercised the degree of care and diligence that a reasonable person would exercise (a contravention of section 285(1) of the RO Act.
Before the hearing the ANMF admitted to nine contraventions of the sections of the RO Act that require financial reports to be prepared, presented to members and presented to a meeting (sections 253, 265(5) and 266). The Court took into consideration:
- the ANMF's full cooperation and early admissions which saved significant public resources, and
- that the ANMF had established new organisational arrangements to ensure future compliance with the RO Act.
On 14 December 2018, Justice Barker ordered that:
- The Branch Secretary pay a penalty of $6,630 for his contravention of section 285(1) of the RO Act; and
- the ANMF pay a penalty totalling $29,250 for its contraventions of sections 253, 265(5) and 266 of the RO Act.
The total penalty was $35,880.

Inspired by spy novels and the radical possibilities of radio for experimental story telling, The Silent Key is a long-form project creating a complex meta-fiction over time.
At its heart The Silent Key will produce a relay of broadcasts featuring artists, communities and individuals, forming an 'exquisite corpse'-style narrative arc. These playful global broadcasts will be accompanied by a series of terrestrial and online clues, performances, publications, and other interventions.
The project, in its very early stages of development at Adhocracy, will eventually connect operators and listeners across the world – there are about three million amateur radio operators worldwide and hundreds of shortwave stations broadcasting daily around the clock – in a mysterious constellation of artifacts, actions and broadcasts.

(Lansing State Journal, March 17, 1993)
Question submitted by A. Schneider.
Strangely enough, the answer is no. This question requires you to remember "Ask Science Theatre" columns of long ago about why things float. Remembering back to those articles we know that things float if their densities (how much stuff is in a certain amount of space) are less than the density of water. The density of the ice cube is less than the density of water and the ice floats. This is important because if ice did not float then aquatic creatures would not be able to survive the long winter when rivers and lakes freeze on top.
The other important requirement of floating is that when something floats the weight of water it moves exactly equals the weight of the object. If you took the ice cube out of the glass, the water level would lower by an amount equal to the exact weight of the ice cube. Similarly, when the ice cube melts it will turn back into water and fill up only the volume that it used to displace. So, the water will not overflow.

Habbes - what does Habbes surname mean?
Recorded in many forms including Habbert, Happert, Hobbert, Hobart, Hobbart, Habert, Happel, Hadeke, Habbema, Hobbema, Hapke, Hatje, Hablet, Hablot, Habbes, Haps, Habben, Hobben, Hobbing, and Hubbard, this ancient surname can only be described as 'European'. It derives from the Anglo-Saxon personal name Hugibert or Hubert, itself a compound of the elements 'hug' meaning 'heart', and 'beorht' - bright or famous, a translation which no doubt contributed to its early popularity. The name was probably introduced in Britain by the Saxon invaders of the 8th century, although its first known recording would seem to be that of 'Eudo filius Huberti' (Eudo, son of Hubert) in the Domesday Book of 1086. This was not of course a surname, the first of these being Roger Hubert, who appears in the 1199 Fine Court Rolls of Northumberland, whilst other examples of the recordings include William Hobard of Suffolk in 1291, John Hobart also of Suffolk in 1346, whilst Pastor John Hubbard who embarked from London on 17th April 1635, bound for Virginia was one of the early settlers in the New England colonies. He was also one of the first students at the fledgling Harvard University, of which in 1688, he became President. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Roger Hubard, which was dated 1327, in the Subsidy Rolls of Somerset, during the reign of King Edward 111, known as the Father of the Navy, 1327 - 1377. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to 'develop' often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Medicine Adherence and Star Ratings
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the direct cost of medicine non-adherence is estimated at $100 billion to $289 billion annually. Improving medication adherence is critical to patients, health care providers, health insurers, pharmacy and other stakeholders, because increased adherence equates to improved outcomes.
Medicare contracted health plans are evaluated annually by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) through the Five-Star quality ratings system to measure their performance. Medicare-contracted health plans are given a star rating (1 to 5 stars) – one star representing low performance, and five stars representing excellent performance.
Read the white paper on star ratings and understand how payers and pharmacists are developing strategies to improve medication adherence.
- Developing a deep understanding of the member population
- Analyzing clinical needs, behaviors and barriers to adherence
- Developing tools and resources to monitor patients' adherence behavior and clinical outcomes
- Creating collaborative platforms among payers, health care providers, pharmacists and members
- Utilizing patient education materials to help patients understand their disease, their treatment and the negative impact of non-adherence

Dr. Dolly's SELFSHAPES™ – Ellipse
Because you have chosen an Oval or Ellipsis, your dominant SELFSHAPE™ in Dr. Dolly's SELFSHAPE™ categorization system is likely an OVAL or ELLIPSIS, a slightly compressed circle, an eggor eye-like shape with strong perceptivity, empathy, and sensitivity. Life has sometimes crushed the natural spiritual/caring/compassion traits of a CIRCLE, and given birth to art, possibly even great art, whether visual, literary, theatrical, or musical. Or perhaps even scientific, medical, or mathematical. Ovals also make effective change agents, such as psychologists or occupational, physical, or speech therapists. The challenge is to let light outweigh darkness. An OVAL or ELLIPSIS may begin as a child who felt misunderstood, or was maybe even bullied or abused, yet rose to extraordinary achievement—which may or may not pay off financially. Passion and compassion tend to be more motivating than security or financial wealth. OVALS are most rewarded by self-fulfillment and helping others.

Pig Latin is an English-language word game, usually played by children, in which words are mutated systematically. A word that begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, or u) has the syllable "way" added to the end; for instance, art becomes art-way and eagle becomes eagle-way. A word that begins with one or more consonants has the initial consonants stripped, moved to the end of the word, then the syllable "ay" is added; for instance, start becomes art-stay and door becomes oor-day. A hyphen is added as shown above as an aid to prevent ambiguity; otherwise, a word like aspray could be the translation of spray (ay-spray) or prays (ays-pray). Even so, some words remain ambiguous; art-way could be translated as either art or wart.
Your task is to write functions that translate English to Pig Latin and Pig Latin to English. When you are finished, you may read or run a suggested solution, or post your solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

Worst practice in selenium automation
I have been starting to learn selenium automation in java this week. Frist I have learned how to setup selenium with eclipse I have leave my note in following link My First Selenium Project setup in java. This is not a tutorials, it is like point out something important in my way of learning. Point out related links, videos, content etc.
When I have try to read about selenium into their official website Selenium Documentation. I try to point out what is worst practice to do in automation journey. Therefor I am trying to point out the points what selenium docs said 🙂
Captchas is designed to prevent automation. Therefore do not try to automated Captchas. Hence, there are two way to avoid captchas in application
 1. Disable CAPTCHAs in your test environment
 2. Add a hook to allow tests to bypass the CAPTCHA
Two Factor Authentication
Two Factor Authentication shortly know as 2FA is a authorization mechanism where One Time Password(OTP) is generated using "Authenticator" mobile apps such as "Google Authenticator", "Microsoft Authenticator" etc., or by SMS, e-mail to authenticate.
Automating this seamlessly and consistently is a big challenge in Selenium. There are some ways to automate this process. But that will be another layer on top of our Selenium tests and not secured as well. So, you can avoid automating 2FA.
There are few options to get around 2FA checks:
 - Disable 2FA for certain Users in the test environment, so that you can use those user credentials in the automation.
 - Disable 2FA in your test environment.
 - Disable 2FA if you login from certain IPs. That way we can configure our test machine IPs to avoid this.
File downloads
What is libcurl? Libcurl is the multiprotocol file transfer library.
HTTP response codes
For some browser configurations in Selenium RC, Selenium acted as a proxy between the browser and the site being automated. This meant that all browser traffic passed through Selenium could be captured or manipulated. The captureNetworkTraffic() method purported to capture all of the network traffic between the browser and the site being automated, including HTTP response codes.
Selenium WebDriver is a completely different approach to browser automation, preferring to act more like a user. This is represented in the way you write tests with WebDriver. In automated functional testing, checking the status code is not a particularly important detail of a test's failure; the steps that preceded it are more important.
The browser will always represent the HTTP status code, imagine for example a 404 or a 500 error page. A simple way to "fail fast" when you encounter one of these error pages is to check the page title or content of a reliable point (e.g. the tag) after every page load. If you are using the page object model, you can include this check in your class constructor or similar point where the page load is expected. Occasionally, the HTTP code may even be represented in the browser's error page and you could use WebDriver to read this and improve your debugging output.
Checking the webpage itself is in line with WebDriver's ideal practice of representing and asserting upon the user's view of the website.
If you insist, an advanced solution to capturing HTTP status codes is to replicate the behavior of Selenium RC by using a proxy. WebDriver API provides the ability to set a proxy for the browser, and there are a number of proxies that will programmatically allow you to manipulate the contents of requests sent to and received from the web server. Using a proxy lets you decide how you want to respond to redirection response codes. Additionally, not every browser makes the response codes available to WebDriver, so opting to use a proxy allows you to have a solution that works for every browser.
Gmail, email and Facebook logins
For multiple reasons, logging into sites like Gmail and Facebook using WebDriver is not recommended. Aside from being against the usage terms for these sites (where you risk having the account shut down), it is slow and unreliable.
The ideal practice is to use the APIs that email providers offer, or in the case of Facebook the developer tools service which exposes an API for creating test accounts, friends and so forth. Although using an API might seem like a bit of extra hard work, you will be paid back in speed, reliability, and stability. The API is also unlikely to change, whereas webpages and HTML locators change often and require you to update your test framework.
Logging in to third party sites using WebDriver at any point of your test increases the risk of your test failing because it makes your test longer. A general rule of thumb is that longer tests are more fragile and unreliable.
WebDriver implementations that are W3C conformant (how well) also annotate the navigator object with a WebDriver property so that Denial of Service attacks can be mitigated.
Denial-of-service attackIn computing, a denial-of-service attack is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet.
Test dependency
A common idea and misconception about automated testing is regarding a specific test order. Your tests should be able to run in any order, and not rely on other tests to complete in order to be successful.
Performance testing
Performance testing using Selenium and WebDriver is generally not advised. Not because it is incapable, but because it is not optimised for the job and you are unlikely to get good results.
It may seem ideal to performance test in the context of the user but a suite of WebDriver tests are subjected to many points of external and internal fragility which are beyond your control; for example browser startup speed, speed of HTTP servers, response of third party servers that host JavaScript or CSS, and the instrumentation penalty of the WebDriver implementation itself. Variation at these points will cause variation in your results. It is difficult to separate the difference between the performance of your website and the performance of external resources, and it is also hard to tell what the performance penalty is for using WebDriver in the browser, especially if you are injecting scripts.
The other potential attraction is "saving time" — carrying out functional and performance tests at the same time. However, functional and performance tests have opposing objectives. To test functionality, a tester may need to be patient and wait for loading, but this will cloud the performance testing results and vice versa.
To improve the performance of your website, you will need to be able to analyse overall performance independent of environment differences, identify poor code practices, breakdown of performance of individual resources (i.e. CSS or JavaScript), in order to know what to improve. There are performance testing tools available that can do this job already, that provide reporting and analysis, and can even make improvement suggestions.
Example (open source) packages to use are: JMeter
What can I do with JMeter?
Link spidering
Using WebDriver to spider through links is not a recommended practice. Not because it cannot be done, but because WebDriver is definitely not the most ideal tool for this. WebDriver needs time to start up, and can take several seconds, up to a minute depending on how your test is written, just to get to the page and traverse through the DOM.
Instead of using WebDriver for this, you could save a ton of time by executing a curl command, or using a library such as BeautifulSoup since these methods do not rely on creating a browser and navigating to a page. You are saving tones of time by not using WebDriver for this task.

This is a great way to keep a record of your riding lesson students' progress by writing an evaluation after each riding lesson they take. The first page has a date of their lesson, their name, horse they rode, an overview of the gaits they did, the jumping they did, strength and weaknesses you observed, a large section for your lesson summary that day or any notes. The second page provides a simple rider evaluation form and covers unmounted skills, mounted skills and a evaluation of the fit with the horse they rode that day. It also includes a blank version so you can write in the values for the bubble sheet.
This student record is a simplified version of our Riding Instructor Lesson Planner pack. If you want something to help you plan riding lessons for a specific rider check, a blank rider evaluation sheet or a more thorough review of a rider's lesson, then it may be a better fit for you.
Do you have a large lesson barn? Need something faster or to help with a much larger group of riding lesson students? Try our Student Overview Journal pages in landscape format to keep track of a larger number of students' progress or for use with multiple riding instructors.

Have you ever wanted to use a super long word such as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in an article on a web page, but didn't because it was too long, and you didn't want to mess up word wrapping? It would be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to be able to use such long words and know that wrapping wasn't going to be an issue. The reality is that HTML provides a tag that lets you wrap words in the middle by telling the browser where the word can be broken!
The HTML wbr tag is used to indicate where a line break can occur. Note that the wbr tag doesn't mandate the break but is just an indicator that if a break is needed, then the location of the wbr tag is an acceptable place to break. This attribute is generally used in locations that would not otherwise be used for line breaks, such as in the middle of a word.
In the case of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, the wbr tag could be added between every syllable, or simply in a couple of places in case breaks are needed. The following shows a bit of HTML code using the tag:
 The wbr tag is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! The wbr tag is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
When you display this in your browser, you'll see that it shows the same sentence twice:
The magic, however, happens when you reduce the width of the browser window or view the page on a mobile device with a reduced width browser window. Then you'll see that the second line wraps much better than the first:
You might be thinking that this isn't that useful of a tag because, you are not likely to use the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious or other extremely long words on your web pages. While this is true, there is a likelihood you'll use other strings of text that are long, such as a site URL.
The wbr tag is useful when listing long URLs on your web pages. The wbr tag can indicate locations to break the URL as well! While an URL will wrap at some punctuation and symbol locations, there are times you will want to control the breaking better. For example, not all browsers will wrap at a period in a ULR. For those that do, the URL will wrap after the period, which can make it look like the end of a sentence when a URL is embedded in text. To help avoid this, you can add the wbr tag before the periods in a URL. The following shows a snippet of code to help illustrate this:
 If you are looking for an article on IBM Bots, you should read "Using a Free Custom IBM Bot," which can be found at _URL_
Without the wbr tag, this wraps with a large gap:
By adding the wbr tag within the URL, you can get rid of the big gap as the following code shows:
 If you are looking for an article on IBM Bots, then you should read "Using a Free Custom IBM Bot", which can be found at _URL_
Using the same browser width, you can see the difference in wrapping:
The wbr tag is a simple tag and most people are unaware that it exists. If you find that you want things to wrap differently than the default, then the wbr tag is a perfect solution. Of course, like all code you use, you should verify that it is supported in all the browsers your user might employ. At the time of this writing, the major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari) support the wbr tag. Internet Explorer is not guaranteed to support this.

Robert C. Weaver Federal Building
Closed to the public.
451 7th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20410
A key component of the 1960s urban renewal efforts in southwest Washington, DC, the construction of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Headquarters building occurred in the post-World War II era of rapid government growth. Capitalizing on the desire to feature contemporary architectural styles in new government buildings, the HUD building was constructed in the Brutalist Style by preeminent architect Marcel Breuer.
In 2000, the building was named in honor of the first HUD Secretary and first African American member of a President's Cabinet, Robert C. Weaver. Despite its relatively young age, the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its exceptional architectural significance.
