Glow-In-The-Dark Rabbits Born
Glowing Rabbits Born In Turkey, Could Help Cure Disease
The first living glowing rabbits have been born in Turkey, and one day researchers believe they could help bring affordable drug therapies to more developing countries.
The glow-in-the-dark bunnies are the product of a collaboration between the Univerwity of Hawaii at Manoa and two universities in Turkey.
Scientists used a gene from jellyfish DNA and inserted it into a rabbit's embryo, reports CBS News. While the rabbits appear completely normal and white in everyday lighting, the same isn't true under black light.
Instead, they glow bright green. While transgenic mice, cows, goats, chickens, and pigs have already been produced successfully, CBS News reports that this was the first instance of a successful transgenic rabbit.
The bunnies were conceived using in vitro fertilization (IVF) from embryos extracted from an adult female rabbit. They then inserted plasmids into the embryos in a process similar to that used in IVF human procedures.
The Los Angeles Times notes that Stefan Moisyadi, an associate professor at the University of Hawaii Manoa who worked on the glowing rabbits project, commented that the jellyfish protein won't hurt the bunnies and it also won't alter their lifespan. However, those rabbits will pass the glow-in-the-dark gene on to their offspring.
Eventually, the Turkish team, including Moisyadi, hopes to insert the jellyfish gene into larger mammals, such as sheep and cattle. The associate professor added that the scientists' "main plan was to do sheep, but they only have one or two embryos max." He added that the group currently has 10 pregnant sheep, about 25 percent of which they believe will end up glowing in the dark.
Eventually, Moisyadi hopes that the process will be used not to implant jellyfish genes, but instead to insert genes for proteins used in medications. This is because animals can make proteins in their milk that humans often use for medicine. Being able to extract useful proteins from the animals' milk would make pharmaceuticals more affordable.
But for now, the scientists are focusing on glowing rabbits.

Healthy Foods, Healthy Communities
What's to love about food co-ops? So much! Co-ops have a cool way of doing things differently. They're people working together for better food, stronger communities and a healthier world. And cooperative grocers are making a big impact. A new study, Healthy Foods Healthy Communities: The Social and Economic Impacts of Food Co-ops,* quantifies the impact food co-ops have as compared to conventional grocery stores. The study's compelling results demonstrate the many ways that food co-ops do well while doing good.
Unlike their conventional counterparts, co-ops are owned and governed by member-shoppers and rooted in principles like community, voluntary and open membership, economic participation and cooperation. Because of these principles and practices, food co-ops inherently serve and benefit the communities where they are located. For example, the study finds that for every dollar spent at a food co-op, $0.38 is reinvested in the local economy compared to $0.24 at conventional grocers.
Supporting Local Food Systems and Sustainable Foods
Though "local" has popped up in conventional grocery stores in recent years, retail food co-ops are leaps and bounds ahead of the pack. Where conventional grocers work with an average of 65 local farmers and food producers, food co-ops work with an average of 157. Likewise, locally sourced products make up an average of 20 percent of co-op sales compared to 6 percent at conventional stores.
Years after creating the market for organic foods, co-ops are still the place to find them. Of produce sales at food co-ops, 82 percent are organic, compared to 12 percent for conventional grocers. And, organics make up 48 percent of grocery sales in food co-ops, compared to just 2 percent in conventional grocers.
Local Economic Impact
The economic impact that a grocery store has on its local economy is greater than just the sum of its local spending, because a portion of money spent locally recirculates. For example, food co-ops purchase from local farmers who, in turn, buy supplies from local sources, hire local technicians to repair equipment, and purchase goods and services from local retailers. To some extent, conventional grocers do too, but the gap is still significant. For every $1,000 a shopper spends at their local food co-op, $1,604 in economic activity is generated in their local economy—$239 more than if they had spent that same $1,000 at a conventional grocer.
The average co-op earning $10 million per year in revenue provides jobs for over 90 workers. In total, 68 percent of those workers are eligible for health insurance, compared to 56 percent of employees at conventional grocers. Co-op employees also earn an average of nearly $1.00 more per hour than conventional grocery workers when bonuses and profit sharing are taken into account.
Grocery stores—co-ops and conventional alike—generate a significant amount of waste. What sets retail food co-ops apart is what they do with that waste. Co-ops recycle 96 percent of cardboard, 74 percent of food waste and 81 percent of plastics compared to 91 percent, 36 percent and 29 percent, respectively, recycled by conventional grocers.

You could use following to get element position run time and use them
String xCoordinate = selenium.getElementPositionLeft("elementLocator");
String yCoordinate = selenium.getElementPositionTop("elementLocator");
share|improve this answer
Thanks Tarun, So In this case if I have to move my mouse at particular position i need to store the x,y values in string and then use mouseMoveAt() similar for clickAt() method etc... – smriti Jun 24 '11 at 12:23
yup you should try that – Tarun Jun 25 '11 at 1:53
Thanks again... – smriti Jun 26 '11 at 12:29

The above answer is not a possible solution because selenium.getElementPositionLeft("elementLocator"); returns a number and not a string and not just that it also gives an error which says that we cannot make static reference to non static methods.

);
var steve = App.Person.create({
 name: "Steve"
});
// alerts 'Name is Steve'.
NOTE: If you do override init for a framework class like Ember.View or Ember.ArrayController, be sure to call this._super() in your init declaration! If you don't, Ember may not have an opportunity to do important setup work, and you'll see strange behavior in your application.
metaForProperty
(key)
In some cases, you may want to annotate computed properties with additional metadata about how they function or what values they operate on. For example, computed property functions may close over variables that are then no longer available for introspection.
You can pass a hash of these values to a computed property like this:
1
2
3
4
person: function() {
 var personId = this.get('personId');
 return App.Person.create({ id: personId });
}.property().meta({ type: App.Person })
Once you've done this, you can retrieve the values saved to the computed property from your class like this:
1
MyClass.metaForProperty('person');
This will return the original hash that was passed to meta().
Parameters:
key String
property name
notifyPropertyChange
(keyName) Ember.Observable
Convenience method to call propertyWillChange and propertyDidChange in succession.
Parameters:
keyName String
The property key to be notified about.
Returns:
Ember.Observable
propertyDidChange
(keyName) Ember.Observable
Notify the observer system that a property has just changed.
Sometimes you need to change a value directly or indirectly without actually calling get() or set() on it. In this case, you can use this method and propertyWillChange() instead. Calling these two methods together will notify all observers that the property has potentially changed value.
Note that you must always call propertyWillChange and propertyDidChange as a pair. If you do not, it may get the property change groups out of order and cause notifications to be delivered more often than you would like.
Parameters:
keyName String
The property key that has just changed.
Returns:
Ember.Observable
propertyWillChange
(keyName) Ember.Observable
Notify the observer system that a property is about to change.
Sometimes you need to change a value directly or indirectly without actually calling get() or set() on it. In this case, you can use this method and propertyDidChange() instead. Calling these two methods together will notify all observers that the property has potentially changed value.
Note that you must always call propertyWillChange and propertyDidChange as a pair. If you do not, it may get the property change groups out of order and cause notifications to be delivered more often than you would like.
Parameters:
keyName String
The property key that is about to change.
Returns:
Ember.Observable
removeObserver
(key, target, method) Ember.Observable
Remove an observer you have previously registered on this object. Pass the same key, target, and method you passed to addObserver() and your target will no longer receive notifications.
Parameters:
key String
The key to observer
target Object
The target object to invoke
method String|Function
The method to invoke.
Returns:
Ember.Observable
receiver
reopen
(arguments)
Parameters:
arguments
set
(keyName, value) Ember.Observable
Sets the provided key or path to the value.
This method is generally very similar to calling object[key] = value or object.key = value, except that it provides support for computed properties, the unknownProperty() method and property observers.
Computed Properties
If you try to set a value on a key that has a computed property handler defined (see the get() method for an example), then set() will call that method, passing both the value and key instead of simply changing the value itself. This is useful for those times when you need to implement a property that is composed of one or more member properties.
Unknown Properties
If you try to set a value on a key that is undefined in the target object, then the unknownProperty() handler will be called instead. This gives you an opportunity to implement complex "virtual" properties that are not predefined on the object. If unknownProperty() returns undefined, then set() will simply set the value on the object.
Property Observers
In addition to changing the property, set() will also register a property change with the object. Unless you have placed this call inside of a beginPropertyChanges() and endPropertyChanges(), any "local" observers (i.e. observer methods declared on the same object), will be called immediately. Any "remote" observers (i.e. observer methods declared on another object) will be placed in a queue and called at a later time in a coalesced manner.
Chaining
In addition to property changes, set() returns the value of the object itself so you can do chaining like this:
1
record.set('firstName', 'Charles').set('lastName', 'Jolley');
Parameters:
keyName String
The property to set
value Object
The value to set or 'null'.
Returns:
Ember.Observable
setPath
(path, value) Ember.Observable deprecated
Parameters:
path String
The path to the property that will be set
value Object
The value to set or 'null'.
Returns:
Ember.Observable
setProperties
(hash) Ember.Observable
To set multiple properties at once, call setProperties with a Hash:
1
record.setProperties({ firstName: 'Charles', lastName: 'Jolley' });
Parameters:
hash Hash
the hash of keys and values to set
Returns:
Ember.Observable
toString
String
Returns a string representation which attempts to provide more information than Javascript's toString typically does, in a generic way for all Ember objects.
1
2
3
App.Person = Em.Object.extend()
person = App.Person.create()
person.toString() //=> "<App.Person:ember1024>"
If the object's class is not defined on an Ember namespace, it will indicate it is a subclass of the registered superclass:
1
2
3
Student = App.Person.extend()
student = Student.create()
student.toString() //=> "<(subclass of App.Person):ember1025>"
If the method toStringExtension is defined, its return value will be included in the output.
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
App.Teacher = App.Person.extend({
 toStringExtension: function(){
 return this.get('fullName');
 }
});
teacher = App.Teacher.create()
teacher.toString(); //=> "<App.Teacher:ember1026:Tom Dale>"
Returns:
String
string representation
toggleProperty
(keyName) Object
Set the value of a boolean property to the opposite of it's current value.
1
starship.toggleProperty('warpDriveEnaged');
Parameters:
keyName String
The name of the property to toggle
Returns:
Object
The new property value
Show:
concatenatedProperties
Array
Defines the properties that will be concatenated from the superclass (instead of overridden).
By default, when you extend an Ember class a property defined in the subclass overrides a property with the same name that is defined in the superclass. However, there are some cases where it is preferable to build up a property's value by combining the superclass' property value with the subclass' value. An example of this in use within Ember is the classNames property of Ember.View.
Here is some sample code showing the difference between a concatenated property and a normal one:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
App.BarView = Ember.View.extend({
 someNonConcatenatedProperty: ['bar'],
 classNames: ['bar']
});
App.FooBarView = App.BarView.extend({
 someNonConcatenatedProperty: ['foo'],
 classNames: ['foo'],
});
var fooBarView = App.FooBarView.create();
fooBarView.get('someNonConcatenatedProperty'); // ['foo']
fooBarView.get('classNames'); // ['ember-view', 'bar', 'foo']
This behavior extends to object creation as well. Continuing the above example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
var view = App.FooBarView.create({
 someNonConcatenatedProperty: ['baz'],
 classNames: ['baz']
})
view.get('someNonConcatenatedPro

How many soldiers are usually in a platoon?
Three or four squads make up a platoon, which has 20 to 50 soldiers and is commanded by a lieutenant. Two or more platoons make up a company, which has 100 to 250 soldiers and is commanded by a captain or a major.
How many men are in a battalion in Vietnam?
BATTALION – organizational institution in the Army and Marine Corps. Commanded by a lieutenant colonel, an infantry battalion usually has around 900 people, and an artillery battalion of about 500 people. During the Vietnam War, American battalions were usually much smaller than that.
How many sections does a platoon have?
Platoon. A platoon is a part of an infantry company and is further divided into three or four sections.
How big was a squad in Vietnam?
Donald MacPherson. The Vietnam War was called A Platoon Leader's War, for the young lieutenants and their troops were often isolated by mountains and triple canopy forests. An infantry platoon is made up of four squads of ten men each; and, like Daniel Boone, the young leaders had independence of thought and action.
Who controls a platoon?
platoon, principal subdivision of a military company, battery, or troop. Usually commanded by a lieutenant, it consists of from 25 to 50 men organized into two or more sections, or squads, led by noncommissioned officers.
How many medics are in a platoon?
Combat medics are allocated to the Infantry companies on the basis of one combat medic per platoon, and one senior combat medic per company. The location of the combat medic is of extreme importance for rapid medical treatment of casualties.

I'm trying to use the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Win32_ScheduledJob class to manage scheduled tasks. Unfortunately, I can't even enumerate the scheduled tasks with this class. For example, if I use the Scheduled Task Wizard to schedule a new task, I see the task in the Scheduled Tasks folder, but my script fails to list the task. What am I doing wrong?
The behavior you're seeing is by design. What do I mean by that? The provider that services the Win32_ScheduledJob class—the WMI Win32 Provider (cimwin32.dll)—uses the earlier NetScheduleJob* Win32 APIs instead of the later Task Scheduler APIs (i.e., ITaskScheduler). As a result, the Win32_ScheduledJob class works only with jobs scheduled with the legacy AT command. You can't use the Win32_ScheduledJob class to manage jobs that you scheduled with the Scheduled Task Wizard. Fortunately, you can work around this problem. Excluding third-party solutions, you can have three options:
 - Use the schtasks.exe command-line tool.
 - Use Microsoft's downloadable Task Scheduler agent.
 - Use Windows shell scripting commands.
If you're running Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP, you can use the new schtasks.exe tool, which you can find in the %systemroot%\system32 directory. Schtasks.exe lets you create, change, run, end, delete, and query scheduled tasks from the command line or a script. For example, instead of using your script to list scheduled tasks, you can use the command
C:\>schtasks /query /fo list /v
This command works regardless of the tool you used to schedule the task. In addition, schtasks.exe supports remote computers, alternate credentials, and all the advanced configuration options found in the Scheduled Tasks Properties dialog box. To learn more about schtasks.exe, see the command's usage instructions, which you can find under the "SchTasks" topic in the Help and Support Center under the Start menu in Windows 2003 and XP or by running the command
schtasks /?
If you're running Windows 2000, you can use the Task Scheduler agent, which you can download from the Microsoft Download Center ( However, the Task Scheduler agent lets you only create scheduled tasks. In addition, the agent supports only the following configuration options: the Scheduled Task's name, the program to run, program parameters (if any), start time and date, username, and password. In the end, I found the Task Scheduler agent to be of little use, especially when compared with schtasks.exe. However, if you're interested in learning more about the Task Scheduler agent, check out the Microsoft TechNet article "Task Scheduler Using VBScript"(
No matter which OS you're using, you can use Windows shell scripting commands (e.g., Dir, Copy, Delete) to list, distribute, and remove scheduled tasks across multiple computers. You can find the scheduled tasks (i.e.,.job files) in the %systemroot%\Tasks\ folder. If you take this route, make sure your source jobs run under domain-based accounts. Otherwise, you'll likely encounter credential problems when you copy a job configured on one computer to another computer.

Mean monthly rainfall from different stations in the Galilee (northern Israel) for the periods _PHONE_ and _PHONE_, have been correlated with longitude, latitude and altitude of each station. A seasonal pattern of the explained variance (r2) by each of the variables has been found. At the beginning of the rainy season, the rainfall is correlated strongest with the longitude of the stations, during the main rainy season with the altitude and at the end of the rainy season with the latitude of the stations. In the latter period (_PHONE_) the correlation with latitude is weaker than in the first period (_PHONE_). The decrease in the correlation may be attributed to a shift in the depressions' tracks in the Eastern Mediterranean and to cloud seeding. A trend surface analysis of the isohyetal orientation in each month reflects the same seasonal pattern; a shift from a mainly N-S orientation at the beginning of the rainy season, to a mainly E-W or even ESE-WNW orientation at the end of it.

The results of dynamic non-linear two-dimensional finite element analyses of the Long Valley Dam in the Mammoth Lake area of California subjected to a real measured earthquake are presented. A simple elastic perfectly plastic constitutive soil model is used to describe the stress-strain response of the soil and Rayleigh damping (i.e. viscous damping) is applied to account for the lack of hysteretic damping. The effect of the initial stress condition and the Rayleigh damping ratio are discussed, and the results of the analysis are compared to the measured response of the dam and to results presented by previous researchers. Good agreement is obtained in the up/downstream direction, but as experienced by previous researchers, the correct vertical frequency range is not achieved. The limitations of using viscous damping combined with simple constitutive models when studying the dynamic behaviour of real earth dams are shown. Copyright © 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Almond moms are parodied saying things like:
 - "Are you sure you're still hungry, or are you just bored?"
 - "I'm starving … I'll just eat a few almonds, and that's plenty."
 - "Sugar is the devil."
 - "A moment on your lips, a lifetime on your hips."
 - "I want you to eat healthy, so no junk food."
 - "No chips for you – have a couple of almonds instead."
Is an almond mom helpful or harmful?
In the TikTok videos, an almond mom is presented as being silly, harmful, and sometimes traumatic. Almond moms are shown using classic diet behavior that were actively taught to girls and women in the 1990s, like cutting food into tiny bites, ignoring cravings, substituting desired food for less-palatable low-calorie food, ignoring hunger cues, counting calories/points, and believing that being in a small body is essential.
In the parodies these moms are passing these diet culture beliefs onto their kids. They teach their kids diet behaviors and restrict the food available in the home (e.g. no junk food). Almond moms also critique their kids' hunger and appetite.
Can almond mom behaviors be linked to kids' eating disorders?
Diet culture is a known contributor to eating disorders. Therefore, perpetuating and modeling diet culture at home can be linked to eating disorders. We know that how a family talks about eating, exercise and weight impacts how kids feel about them.
As biopsychosocial disorders, eating disorders are highly responsive to the home culture. So yes, almond moms may be linked to eating disorders, but it's not a simple cause and effect. Eating disorders affect about 10% of the population. But I estimate that almond parent (diet) behavior is present in at least 80% of American households.
Not everyone with an "almond mom" will develop an eating disorder. And, of course, people who don't have an "almond mom" may develop an eating disorder. In other words, having an almond mom may be a risk factor for an eating disorder, but it's not the sole cause.
Do almond moms have eating disorders?
Many almond moms may be women with disordered eating and/or an unrecognized/undertreated eating disorder. Remember, moms today were raised in a highly body-toxic environment that actively taught girls and women to adopt diet culture. Women are both the primary target of the ~$80 billion diet industry and are mocked and vilified when they follow its rules. Ouch.
Surveys have identified disordered eating behaviors among at least three out of four American women. In 2013–2016, 49.1% of U.S. adults tried to lose weight in the last 12 months. All weight loss efforts utilize eating disorder behaviors, and intentional weight loss is a significant risk factor for developing an eating disorder.
Many adult women have active eating disorders that have never been identified or treated because they follow what the diet industry calls a "healthy lifestyle." It is effortless for eating disorders to fly under the radar in our body-toxic diet culture.
It is impossible to diagnose strangers on the Internet, but I think we can have compassion for women being called almond moms because they may be living with some form of disordered eating, if not full eating disorders.
My opinion on the almond mom trend
I think the almond mom trend exposes a dangerous thing that we know is common in homes. It's a conversation we must have. However, I don't think publicly shaming women is a helpful way to resolve the pernicious nature of diet culture.
The truth is that when parents (including dads!) are stuck in disordered eating and diet culture, they can't help but model that for their kids. Even parents who say they are focused on health, not weight, show their kids that weight is a huge deal by controlling their own body size with disordered eating and exercise patterns.
The fact is that when parents are stuck in diet culture, their kids are at higher risk of eating disorders. So I think we need to have more conversations about how parents' attitudes towards food and weight issues need to change.
At the same time, I've seen some really upsetting TikTok videos in which "almond moms" are filmed without their knowledge and mocked for their disordered behaviors while eating. I'm absolutely not a fan of public shaming or invasions of privacy, especially when it comes to something as personal and fraught as a woman eating.
If you're an almond mom
If you think you might be an almond mom, thank you for being vulnerable to notice that! It's hard to look at ourselves in a negative light. If you have been accused of being an almond mom, I'm sorry. It's not nice to be called names.
Either way, being an almond mom is a call to action. I invite you to explore your beliefs and behaviors about eating, exercise, and weight. Diet culture is virtually invisible when we're stuck inside its tangled web. I know – I've been there! But it's essential that you do the work to uncover diet culture beliefs and heal from your harmful behaviors, for your kids' sake and your own.
Here are some steps to get started:
 1. Learn about diet culture and a non-diet approach to health
 2. Talk to a non-diet dietitian, therapist, or coach for expert feedback and advice
 3. Ask yourself how your beliefs about your weight have shaped your health behaviors
 4. Consider the impact of your weight-control behaviors on your child(ren)
 5. Heal your relationship with eating, exercise, and weight so you can pursue a healthy lifestyle without weight control
 6. Talk to your child about what you're learning and apologize for past behavior if necessary
 7. Don't stop exploring! Diet culture is deeply ingrained. Keep working to counteract weight stigma and weight control beliefs and behaviors.
While I don't like the method, I think the almond mom trend on TikTok has a lot to teach parents everywhere. Our kids are watching us all the time, and they are affected by our beliefs about weight, eating, and exercise. If you think you might have an eating disorder, please reach out for help and support. You deserve it!

Am I enabling my child's eating disorder?
Am I enabling my child's eating disorder?
We are often afraid to talk about how parents may enable an eating disorder. One reason is because we unconsciously believe that if a parent is "enabling," they are therefore at fault or responsible for the eating disorder. So I need to start by clearly stating that parents are not responsible for a child's eating disorder, and, by the way, the person who has the eating disorder isn't at fault either.
✴ As a parent myself, I prefer the less-fraught word "accommodating" to "enabling." But since you are more likely to have heard and understand the word enabling, that's the word I'll use in this article.
Parent Scripts For Eating Disorder Recovery
Scripts to help you figure out what to say to help your child with an eating disorder. Use these scripts:
 - At the dinner table when behavior is getting out of control
 - When you need to set boundaries – fast!
 - After something happened so you can calmly review the triggers and events
Are you enabling?
OK, so we know that parents are not at fault for eating disorders, and now you want to know whether you are enabling your child's eating disorder. And the short answer is that yes, you probably are. But remember, this isn't because you're bad! It's because eating disorders cause a lot of distress for your child, and enabling is just a way that parents try to reduce distress. Enabling has a nasty reputation, but it's really just a natural thing parents do to help their kids avoid distress.
Let's say your child is afraid of getting in an elevator because a man is inside yelling into his cell phone while loosely holding onto two big, growling dogs. Your child is afraid, and you understand, so you turn around and walk up a short flight of stairs to get to your destination. No problem. It makes sense, and it was easy to do.
But let's just imagine that after you do that one time, your child says they don't want to go in any elevators, even if there isn't a yelling man with growling dogs inside. Whenever you encounter an elevator with your child, they want to take the stairs. And you find it irritating (and tiring!), but you also see how scared your child gets when faced with an elevator and you don't want to make them feel scared, so you avoid the elevator.
Anxiety escalation
Soon your child starts to sweat and shake even thinking about an elevator. So when you enter

Sitworld: Configuring a Stable SOAP Port
spiderweb
John Alvord, IBM Corporation
_EMAIL_
Inspiration
A customer reported tacmd login failed. The tacmd functions were an important component of their ITM automated operations. As documented in the ITM Troubleshooting Manual here, I had them stop all ITM Processes, start up the hub TEMS and then start up the other ITM processes. The customer reported that all was now well but they were very concerned about the interruption to normal operations.
Background
For the new solution skip directly to "A New Solution" below.
In the 1990s the Simple Object Access Protocol was developed – SOAP for short. In the early 2000s the acronym became just SOAP. SOAP can be used to access data over a soap service. The tacmd login and many other tacmd functions use the SOAP service running on the TEMS. Many customers have created automation solutions which use tacmd functions or SOAP in Perl or Java or any other language.
Every ITM process in the default configuration has an internal web server. The default listening ports are 1920 [HTTP] and 3661 [HTTPS]. The TEMS SOAP process is closely linked to the internal web server. If TEMS is the only ITM process running on a system, the results are straightforward. SOAP is available if the TEMS is running. SOAP is not available if the TEMS is not running. In the following only port 1920 is referenced but the same process works to use port 3661 or any other non-default port if configure that way.
When multiple ITM processes are running the situation is more complicated. Each individual web server attempts to bind to port 1920. One wins and owns the port. The other web servers fail and they connect to the winner and register information. If the 1920 owner stops, the socket connections to the winner fail and then all the processes attempt to get the port. Again there will be one winner and everyone other web server connects to the winner. When the original 1920 owner starts up again, it tries for 1920, fails, and then connects to the winner.
You can see this environment by browsing to the service index page http://server:1920. The list of services you see are the ones from the 1920 owner and include the registered data from the other web servers. If you rest the cursor on a link – like "IBM Tivoli Monitoring Web Services" for example you can see the URL in the status area. If that link has a port of 1920 – that service is running on the 1920 owner. If not it is running on one of the web services that have registered.
If there is no firewall rules involved, tacmd login works smoothly. The tacmd program reads an xml file equivalent to the service index page. Then it calculates what the actual SOAP port is and then uses it.
If there are firewall rules in place to limit which ports can be used, trouble arises. Lets say that only 1920 and 1918 are allowed ports. If the TEMS starts first, then SOAP is on port 1920 and all is well. If the TEMS is recycled port 1920 migrates to another ITM process and SOAP is on an ephemeral port. The tacmd figures out that new port and tries to use that new port. But firewall rules prevent that access.
This condition has existed since the beginning. See this topic in the Troubleshooting Guide.
A New Solution
Almost any solution is better then shutting down all ITM processes, including the hub TEMS, and then starting up again. Recently a good customer figured out a better solution: Configure the ITM processes so that only the hub TEMS uses port 1920.
First make sure the TEPS is not running on the same system as the hub TEMS. TEPS also needs the internal web server in default mode.
The hub TEMS configuration is not changed.
Look at an agent diagnostic log. This will have a name looking like this – <hostname>_<pc>_<taskname>_<hextime>-01.log, for example
ibmtest_lz_klzagent_51895f1a-01.log
Scan and look for a line like this:
(50E350B1.0013-1:kbbssge.c,52,"BSS1_GetEnv") KDE_TRANSPORT=KDC_FAMILIES="ip.pipe port:1918 ip use:n ip.spipe use:n sna use:n HTTP:1920
The value "ip.pipe port:1918 ip use:n ip.spipe use:n sna use:n HTTP:1920" is a communications string and is fully documented here.
For this purpose, we want to stop the agent from using port 1920 and so the communications string must look like this:
ip.pipe port:1918 ip use:n ip.spipe use:n sna use:n HTTP:0
This means that the internal web server will not listen on HTTP.
Linux/Unix Solution on ITM 623 and following
For every ITM process except the TEMS, create an environment file for a permanent override. If one already exists you can just use it. For example, if you ran a Unix OS Agent you would create ux.environment. The file must be in the <installdir>/config directory and must have the same attributes/owner/group as the ux.ini file. Add to that file this line
KDC_FAMILIES=ip.pipe port:1918 ip use:n ip.spipe use:n sna use:n HTTP:0
This is the ITM development design for permanent customer configuration changes. You will need one such file for each agent on the system running the hub TEMS.
Linux/Unix Solution on ITM 622 and earlier
For every ITM process except the TEMS, create an override file for an override. For example, if you ran a Unix OS Agent you would create ux.override. The file must be in the <installdir>/config directory and must have the same attributes/owner/group as the ux.ini file. The contents of the file would be
KDC_FAMILIES= 'ip.pipe port:1918 ip use:n ip.spipe use:n sna use:n HTTP:0
The only difference with the ITM 623 solution are the single quotes. Also update the ini file adding a source include file like this.
. /opt/IBM/ITM/config/ux.override
That is a period followed by a space followed by the fully qualified name of the override file. The path name would be different if your installation directory was different. You could use the same file for multiple agents.
Solution on Windows
In Windows you use the Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services Application.
 1. Right click on the agent line
 2. Select Advanced
 3. Select Edit Variables…
 4. Click Add…
 5. In Variable enter KDC_FAMILES
 6. In Value enter ip.pipe port:1918 ip use:n ip.spipe use:n sna use:n HTTP:0
 7. OK out
Usage Notes and Variations
After the changes have been made and all ITM processes are recycled including TEMS, only the TEMS will be listening to port 1920. That will be the permanent SOAP port. If the hub TEMS is not running then the tacmd login will fail, but that is expected and reasonable.
For a FTO environment with two hub TEMS, make this change on both hub TEMSes.
Using this design you can still access the Service Index page by using HTTPS://server:3661.
Another alternative for the non-TEMS processes would be to set the following communications string:
http_server:n ip.pipe port:1918 ip use:n ip.spipe use:n sna use:n
which stops the internal web server from even starting.
I saw a recent case where the root userid which ran the agent had a .profile which included
export KDE_TRANSPORT=HTTP:n
In this case the KDE_TRANSPORT was used and the KDC_FAMILIES was ignored. The result was that all the KDC_FAMILIES changes were ignored. This was eventually spotted by reviewing the <installdir>/logs/ux.env file which had both KDE_TRANSPORT and KDC_FAMILIES included.
Summary
This post shows how to configure a hub TEMS with a stable permanent port to access SOAP services. This change will increase the availability of SOAP services.

As I understand, computing the exact posterior of parameters $p(\theta|x)$ is nearly always impossible since we need to compute the evidence $\sum_\theta p(x|\theta)p(\theta)$ with every possible combination of values that $\theta$ and $x$ can take which is lots of summation operations. So we try to find an approximation to $p(\theta|x)$ by variational or sampling methods. I have a few questions regarding these. Some of them might be not so clear or silly since I am confused.
1) In order to do sampling we need to calculate $p(x|\theta)p(\theta)$ for a specific value of $x$ and $\theta$, which gives us an unnormalized scalar value, and we know the exact shapes of $p(x|\theta)$ and $p(\theta)$ distributions separately. Right?
2) Is it possible that we also do not know or cannot compute the likelihood and prior? Can Approximate Bayesian Computation or other likelihood-free inference methods be used for this?
3) In rejection sampling the proposal density has to cover the posterior, right? How can we know if it does or not? We don't know the exact shape since we don't know the normalization term.
4) In MCMC this is not a problem since the normalization terms cancel when dividing two posterior values (which are scalar). Therefore just evaluating $p(x|\theta)p(\theta)$ is enough though we don't know the exact shape of the whole distribution. Is this correct?
5) If we sample the posterior, then we have $n$ samples $\theta_1, ..., \theta_n$. But we still don't have the distribution $p(\theta|x)$, so how can we find this?
6) For new data points we need to compute the posterior predictive $p(x_{new}|D)=\int p(x_{new}|\theta,D)p(\theta|D)d\theta$ where $D=\lbrace x_1,x_2,...,x_m \rbrace$ is the training set. How can we do this using the posterior samples? Do we again need sampling to calculate this integration?
7) What does computing and evaluating a distribution mean? What is the difference?

So we try to find an approximation to $p(θ|x)$ by variational or sampling methods.
This may need to be clarified a little. Variational methods approximate $p( \theta |x)$ by the closest possible approximation within some class of distributions. Sampling methods do not really set out to approximate $p(\theta|x)$ (although one could do that). Instead, usually one is interested in expectations or quantiles of $p(\theta | x)$, and they set out to estimate that. The key here is the word estimate, instead of approximate. You can find a more elaborate difference between the two methods in my answer here.
1) In order to do sampling we need to calculate $p(x|\theta)p(\theta)$ for a specific value of $x$ and $\theta$, which gives us an unnormalized scalar value, and we know the exact shapes of $p(x|\theta)$ and $p(\theta)$ distributions separately. Right?
Yes, usually in most cases, we have known likelihood $p(x|\theta)$ and a chosen known prior $p(\theta)$. To begin with, we assume that we can evaluate $p(x|\theta)p(\theta)$ in closed form for a given value of $x$ and $\theta$. This can sometimes be computationally expensive, if evaluating the likelihood is expensive.
2) Is it possible that we also do not know or cannot compute the likelihood and prior? Can Approximate Bayesian Computation or other likelihood-free inference methods be used for this?
Absolutely, it is possible that the likelihood specially cannot be evaluated (I haven't come across examples where the prior cannot be evaluated). In such cases, as you say, one can use Approximate Bayesian Computation, when there is no known distributional form of the likelihood, and data comes from a complex machine (for example climate models).
Alternatively, sometimes likelihoods themselves are intractable. This can happen for example in generalized linear mixed models, in problems with missing data etc. In such cases one can use pseudo-marginal MCMC methods, where inside the MCMC step, an unbiased estimate of the likelihood replaces the true likelihood evaluation.
3) In rejection sampling the proposal density has to cover the posterior, right? How can we know if it does or not? We don't know the exact shape since we don't know the normalization term.
Yes, in rejection sampling, the support of the proposed density must contain the support of the target density. This usually easy to determine, and is governed by the prior on $\theta$. For example if I assume the prior $\theta \sim Beta(\alpha, \beta)$, then I know that the support of $\theta$ is $(0,1)$. If my prior is $\theta \sim N(0,1)$, then I know that the support of $\theta$ is the full real line.
4) In MCMC this is not a problem since the normalization terms cancel when dividing two posterior values (which are scalar). Therefore just evaluating $p(x|\theta)p(\theta)$ is enough though we don't know the exact shape of the whole distribution. Is this correct?
Yes.
5) If we sample the posterior, then we have $n$ samples $\theta_1, ..., \theta_n$. But we still don't have the distribution $p(\theta|x)$, so how can we find this?
Like I wrote in the beginning, it depends on what quantities you are interested in. If you are interested in the posterior mean of $\theta$, then you are interested in $$E_{\theta|x}[\theta] = \int \theta p(\theta|x)\,. $$ This is estimated by $$\dfrac{1}{n} \sum_{t=1}^{n} \theta_t\,. $$ This is why MCMC is called as such (Markov chain Monte Carlo). The sampling is done using a Markov chain, and the estimation is done using Monte Carlo.
Similarly, all expectation, and quantiles can be estimated using such Monte Carlo estimators. There are also methods that estimate the normalizing constant using the samples, to give you an estimate of $p(\theta |x)$, like the paper here. However, in most cases, one is only interested in attributes of $p(\theta|x)$, which can directly be estimated using the MCMC samples.
6) For new data points we need to compute the posterior predictive $p(x_{new}|D)=\int p(x_{new}|\theta,D)p(\theta|D)d\theta$ where $D=\lbrace x_1,x_2,...,x_m \rbrace$ is the training set. How can we do this using the posterior samples? Do we again need sampling to calculate this integration?
Notice that the posterior predictive is nothing but an expectation with respect to the posterior distribution. In addition, note that given $\theta$, the new data point is independent of the old data. That is, $p(x_{new}| \theta, D) = p(x_{new} | \theta)$. So to estimate the posterior predictive $$\dfrac{1}{n} \sum_{t=1}^{n} p(x_{new}|\theta_t,D) = \dfrac{1}{n} \sum_{t=1}^{n} p(x_{new}|\theta_t)\,, $$ as long as you can evaluate the likelihood.
7) What does computing and evaluating a distribution mean? What is the difference?
Note first that there is a difference between distribution and the density of the distribution (read the discussion here. Evaluating a distribution, usually refers to evaluating the density at a particular point. For example, to use MCMC, you need to evaluate $p(\theta)$ at the proposed value of $\theta = \theta_{prop}$.
Computing a distribution would refer to finding the distribution, as in knowing the full density or cumulative density function of the distribution. So for example, while implementing MCMC, in every step we evaluate the posterior distribution (up to a normalizing constant), but at the end of the MCMC, if we can estimate the normalizing constant, we would have computed the distribution.

The Brandt Line is an invisible line across the world that divides the rich north from the poor south. The Brandt Line corresponds with the divide between economically developed and industrialized countries and those countries that are less economically developed.Know More
Reference reports that the Brandt Line was introduced by Willy Brandt in the 1970s to illustrate the rich and poor countries of the world. The United States, Europe and Russia all are north of the Brandt Line, and therefore considered richer. On the other hand, most African and South American countries are below the Brandt Line. The Brandt Line circles the globe at roughly 30 degrees north, although it does shift radically south at Australia and New Zealand so that those two countries are included in the rich north.
According to BBC and the Brandt Line, there are distinct economic differences between the north and the south, with the north producing more goods while the south produces less. However, as of 2014, some of the southern countries have become newly industrialized and are becoming richer. Among these countries are Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, India and China. This change is due to a shift from agriculture to manufacturing, exporting goods and stable governments.Learn More

Ancient Mass Graves of Soldiers, Babies, Found in Italy
More than 10,000 graves containing ancient amphorae, "baby bottles," and the bodies of soldiers who fought the Carthaginians were found near the ancient Greek colony of Himera, in Italy, archaeologists announced recently.
"It's probably the largest Greek necropolis in Sicily," said Stefano Vassallo, the lead archaeologist of the team that made the discoveries, in September.
The ancient burial ground was uncovered during the construction of a railway extension.
"The remains of Himera's buildings had been known and studied for a long time, and we knew there should be some graves. We didn't expect so many graves", said Vassallo, who works for the Italian province of Palermo's government.
"Each [mass grave] contains from 15 to 25 skeletons. They were all young healthy men and they all died a violent death. Some of the skeletons have broken skulls and in some cases we found the tips of the arrows that killed them," Vassallo said.
He thinks the human remains are from soldiers who died fighting the Carthaginians in a famous 480 B.C. battle described by Greek historian Herodotus of Halicarnassus.

ZHCSHJ8C December 2017 – November 2019 TVS0500
During large transient swings, the TVS0500 will begin clamping the input signal to protect downstream conditions. While this prevents damage during fault conditions, it can cause leakage when the intended input signal has a fast slew rate. In order to keep power dissipation low and remove the chance of signal distortion, it is recommended to keep the slew rate of any input signal on the TVS0500 below 2.5 V/µs at room temperature and below 0.7 V/µs at 125°C shown in Figure 9. Faster slew rates will cause the device to clamp the input signal and draw current through the device for a few microseconds, increasing the rise time of the signal. This will not cause any harm to the system or to the device, however if the fast input voltage swings occur regularly it can cause device overheating.

Birds suddenly abandon Florida environment, experts have no explanation
On a typical summer day, Florida's Seahorse Key is a hub of bird activity, with numerous species settling there for the warmer months.
This year, however, is different. In late spring, all of them vacated the area swiftly and at the same time, leaving behind empty nests and broken eggs.
Officials have no explanation for the birds' departure.
They've performed a number of tests to rule out disease and predators, but human activity is still considered a possibility.
Seahorse Key has been a popular spot among blue herons, snowy egrets, pelicans and many others for decades. In 1929, it was established as a protected refuge for them.
See the birds that usually call Seahorse Key home:
Keeping masses of people away hasn't proven to be too hard, as the place is teeming with mosquitos, yellow flies, and cottonmouth snakes.
While such creatures can be both dangerous and annoying, the birds found a way to work with them and develop an environment in which all inhabitants thrived.
That's part of what makes the avian exodus so puzzling.
Experts are having a tough time imagining what could have occurred to make thebirds leave a home they spent so many years establishing.

The concept of imaging politics and professional culture are two approaches that influence and control each other in managing library performance. This research is conducted by initially looking at imaging politics that operates on aspects of academic qualifications, library accessibility, and institutional governance among three libraries. These institutional images are analyzed through three patterns of imaging politics, i.e. mirror of reality, map of reality, and simulacrum of reality, albeit this last pattern is not found. The second analysis is based on professional culture that functions as a ballacing system. Professional culture in library management shows itself as a referential standard for the performance and practices at the libraries. Both analyses are based on information sources in the form of interviews of informants, which are supported by library documents in digital formats and direct observation during interviews and a number of other visits at the study sites. Then, the third analysis focuses on relations between imaging politics and professional culture at the libraries through theoretical frameworks and other related concepts. In the process of analysis there is implicitly found different ideological orientations at the three libraries. Unfortunately, this research is not designed for this purpose, so it is interesting if there is another further research that works for the phenomena within the framework of imaging politics and professional culture at libraries.

I wrote the following code (using jQuery) to show the pressed key.
$(window).keydown(function(e){
 $("div").text("Key:" + String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode).toLowerCase());
 return false;

This code works in normal alphabet characters (q,w,e,r...). But when I press non alphabet keys (like ']'), an incorrect character is shown.
ex: ',' -> ¼, ']' -> ý
What's wrong with my code?

Use the keypress event and e.which property.
jQuery normalizes the keycodes, and stores the variable in event.which. The keypress event's which property is the only reliable value for String.fromCharCode.
The event.keyCode property may not be equal to the event.charCode or event.which properties.
For non-printable characters, event.which has a value of zero, contrary to event.keyCode. That's why you're seeing weird characters.
$(window).keypress(function(e) {
 var charCode = e.which;
 if (!charCode) { // <-- charCode === 0
 return;// return false, optionally
 }
 $("div").text("Key:" + String.fromCharCode(charCode).toLowerCase());
 return false; // Or e.preventDefault(); and/or e.stopPropagation()
}).keyup(function(e) {
 // Key is lifted, do something
});

@fishpotato Than the keypress event suits very well, especially since you're using return false (=e.preventDefault()). The keydown' event can be replaced with the keypress event, in this case. I'll update my answer with a demo. – Rob W Feb 4 '12 at 11:14

I think the bee on the left is a young one. Quite often, the young ones are much more golden in color. But what about the blackish bee? She was fanning her wings with some of the guard bees at the entrance, perfectly at home, and was fully accepted as belonging to the hive.
Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus (C.B.P.V.)
In my search about the black bee, I came across this article and learned that some black bees can mean a virus.
"Honey bees that appear black, hairless, and shiny may be infected with Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus also known as Hairless Black Syndrome. The symptoms of this virus appear only in adult bees and include the loss of body hair, trembling, and the inability to fly.
Affected bees are often described as "greasy" in appearance and are frequently seen near the hive entrance or clinging to blades of grass in the immediate vicinity of the hive. Their paralyzed wings are often held at an unusual angle that resembles the letter "K."
Because the healthy workers in a colony will quickly get rid of the infected bees, Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus rarely takes out a whole colony and is considered only a "minor" honey bee disease. However, if you find large numbers of such bees, the colony can be fortified by supplementing the population with brood from another colony. Usually, an infected hive will recover on its own.
Because some research has shown that susceptibility to the disease may have a genetic component, re-queening a hive may be necessary to prevent future outbreaks.
In my own experience, I have seen these symptoms only twice. Both times I found three or four distinctly greasy-looking bees walking around on the top bars with their wings splayed out. I removed these individuals and never noticed any further evidence of disease.
Don't panic if you see symptoms of the disease, but stay alert. If the incidence of infected bees seems to increase, consider re-queening. As with most viral diseases, there is no cure for CBPV."

In classical music tradition such a dramatic break in the music (not so much a false ending) is called a grand pause, a caesura, or very informally, railroad tracks.
A grand pause is a more expansive break, often notated with a whole measure of rest, sometimes with the initials "G.P." over the bar.
A caesura is typically a shorter break that often happens abruptly. It's notated with two right-slanting parallel lines (looking like railroad tracks, whence the informal label) that can be placed at any point within the measure.
Your Yanni example is somewhere in the middle of the two, and could be appropriately called either one - either a shorter grand pause or a caesura.

In music theory, it simply referred to as a whole rest or a blank measure. But in sound engineering and electronic music design, the simulation of a malfunction, false-start/stop etc is referred to as an "edit" which comes from "edited glitch" and is also sometimes shortened to "itch" for the meaning of the word itch and how an intentional error in a composition creates the feeling of an itch that needs to be scratched, the scratch being the point in the composition where the edit resolves itself, having temporarily tricked the listener into thinking that something may have gone wrong.
For wild examples of edits in electronic music, see the works of composer/producer James Holden, especially his piece "a break in the clouds" which was meant to introduce the edit-techno genre as the first release on his record label "border community" -- better still, see his dub remix of Britney Spears' "Breathe on Me" _URL_ which is almost 100% edits & itches with ONE final satisfying scratching of the edit-gl/itch.

_URL_%28music%29 is close, points to a lot of relevant things, which, in terms of finding a citation, is probably in an indie record label's mission statement or interview with an electronic musician. only reason i know this particular terminology is that i and/or people with whom i've worked (as the band "meerkat") had to invent a lot of the terminology ourselves. -- (Warp Records is particularly established, you might find a good mission statement there, or something from their artists such as Aphex Twin or Boards of Canada) – miercoledi Feb 22 at 17:04

The Cigar Makers' International Union
(CMIU) was a labor union
that represented workers in the cigar
The union was founded in 1864
as the Cigar Makers' National Union of America and changed its name to the Cigar Makers' International Union in 1867
. It participated in the formation of the Federation of Organized Trade and Labor Unions
in 1881. The following year, seceding New York City locals formed the Cigarmakers' Progressive Union of America
, which rejoined the International in 1886. The American Federation of Labor
chartered the Cigar Makers in 1887.
The CMIU represented skilled cigar makers of various ethnic backgrounds. By its 1867 constitution the union admitted women, although the policy was openly defied by some of its own city locals The union pressed for higher wages, shorter hours, better working conditions, and the right of collective bargaining.
After 1880, Cigar manufacturers who negotiated labor contracts with the CIMU affixed blue labels to boxes of "union made" cigars. Previously, local chapters issued their own stamps including white labels, used by the Cigar Makers' Association of the Pacific Coast to show that their cigars were made by white labor, in response to the growing use of low-wage, Chinese immigrant labor. In 1875, the cigar makers' local in St Louis tried to encourage consumers to buy union-made cigars by using a red label. The national union created a standard blue "union made" label in 1880. Union stamps underwent frequent changes and are an excellent help in dating cigar boxes. The "Sept. 1880" date added top center on a label was added in 1888 and appears on all CMIU cigar (not stogie) issues until 1974.
The CMIU's membership dropped steadily as mechanization and unskilled cigar workers (known as "bunch breakers" ) replaced skilled cigar makers after World War I, and as cigarettes grew in popularity. The union was eventually disbanded in 1974.

How long does a compensation claim take?
Every claimant wants to settle their claim as quickly as possible and move on from their injury. But to get to the point where a compensation claim can be settled involves evidence, expert opinions and investigations from insurers. It also requires clear communication between insurers, specialist solicitors, claimants and occasionally the courts. All of this can take time.
Some claim types are known to settle more quickly than others. In cases where negligence is obviously clear, and a defendant insurer has no reasonable option other than to make an admission of liability, a claim will settle more quickly. Conversely, in a matter relating to a more complex claim where negligence isn't so easily obvious, a claimant solicitor will have to make a strong argument to succeed and achieve an admission of liability, and a claim will take longer to settle.
Claims that tend to settle more quickly
Claims often settle within a few months, when:
 - Liability against the party that caused an accident is clear and obvious
 - The claim relates to relatively minor injuries with full recovery
 - Claimants respond quickly to requests for information
 - Accident details have been properly reported and recorded
 - Injuries and losses are not in dispute
Claims that can take longer
As you would expect, there are many issues that can arise that are beyond our control and slow the claims process down. Furthermore, two seemingly similar claims may initially give the view that they will settle quickly – yet one could take six months and the other could take 18 months. Each claim does need to be looked at on its own merits and complexities, but common issues that can cause a slower claim timeframe include:
 - Complex claims, including severe and life changing injuries
 - Incomplete medical treatments meaning injury/recovery prognosis is not known
 - Split liability or denied liability claims
 - Claimant failure to respond quickly to solicitor queries
 - Inefficiency and slow work by other parties – for example, defendant insurers
 - Claims that have to go to court
In more serious and complex cases, where negligence is not obvious and evidence is not so clear cut, there can be denials of liability from a defendant insurer. This will lead to an unavoidable slowing of the claims process. At this point, a claimant solicitor will seek further instructions from a claimant to enable them to fight a denial of liability and seek expert opinion from a barrister in an effort to force an admission of liability.
In cases where a defendant has accepted responsibility, and will therefore make a compensation settlement offer to a claimant, they may dispute the value of a claim settlement or the losses incurred by a claimant, and request further evidence and medical assessments to support the claim. They could state a desire to take the matter to court for a judgement on the settlement, and such issues will definitely slow a claim down.
Insurer deadlines and legal protocols
It is the third party insurer's job to minimise any settlement they have to pay, and they aren't always good act acting quickly. Helpfully for claimants, there are legally-binding timeframes in place to prevent claims being dragged out longer than necessary. These 'Pre-Action Protocols' give a maximum time for defendant insurers to respond to claims and carry out their investigations. The times vary depending on the claim type involved.
At Direct2Compensation, we realise that much rests on the speedy action of our team and partners to minimise delays, that defendants are pressed to ensure that deadlines are met, and that the claim is regularly chased. We work tirelessly to ensure that claimants are kept informed and that their claim is settled fairly and quickly.

The Missing Hotkeys (that you made anyway)
Often, there's no hotkey for something, but a sequence of existing hotkeys will do the same thing. I'm talking about keyboard macros. You map a hotkey to rapidly do a bunch in order. I use BetterTouchTool on Mac and Autohotkey on Windows.
Move to top of _______
I have 10 items I use as buckets, and moving items to them is assigned to command 0-9
 1. Move item
 2. 0.05s delay
 3. Paste text "_______"
 4. 0.1s delay
 5. Return
Move item from top of list to bottom of list
This will essentially cycle a sublist, letting you read each item but procrastinate the ones you cannot deal with to the bottom
 1. Move item up
 2. Unindent
 3. Move item down
 4. Indent
 5. Go to parent
 6. Move cursor down
Speak item with Speech Synthesis
 1. Select all (this just selects the text in the item)
 2. (MacOS "Start Speaking" hotkey (I recommend picking one of the Siri voices set at 200%))
Go to root of document
 1. Go to parent
 2. Go to parent
 3. Go to parent
 (repeat 10 times or however deep your deepest nodes are)
Create a note and a wikilink to the note in one go
this is basically what Obsidian does with [[new note]] when you click it
 1. Copy link to Note
 2. Go to end of item
 3. Enter
 4. Paste
 5. Go to start of item
 6. Up
 7. Move item
 8. Paste "The deep item you want to store all your new wikilinked notes in"
 9. Enter
 10. Enter

For Linux: Autokey
Could you expand a little one your last example?
Some topics are big, so I don't like the nested list taking up the visual space in my main work area, so I link to the node instead. The hotkey transforms the text into a link to a new node, buried somewhere else. Same idea as linking a non-existant page in Notion or Obsidian, but I wanted the same paradigm in Dynalist too. As you can see the link has no child nodes, so it doesn't take up much visual space in the main area when I expand-all.

- Definition of Household savings ratio: The percentage of disposable income that is saved. (1)
- Total savings = Disposable income – Household consumption
UK Saving Ratio
- Latest UK household savings ratio: Q1 2017 = 1.7% (July 2017)
- By contrast the average savings ratio in the past 54 years is 9.2% of disposable income.
2017 has seen a dramatic fall in the UK savings ratio to a record low. This fall in the savings ratio has been caused by
- Fall in real wages
- Depreciation in Sterling post-Brexit – pushing up cost of living and contributing to fall in real wages
- To maintain spending, consumers have borrowed and dipped into savings
- Temporary factors (high tax payments on dividends)
UK Saving ratio. Source: National income accounts Q4 NRJS dataset
NRJS = Households + NPISH (Non Profit Institutions Serving Households)
Saving ratio and base interest rates
In theory, lower interest rates reduce the incentive to save. But, the interest rate is only one of many factors influencing decisions to save. The most important factor is the state of the economy. In 2009, we saw a rapid rise in the saving rate because of the recession – despite interest rates cut to zero.
Source: RPQL, ONS
This shows total quarterly gross household + non profit savings.
2017 saw sharp drop in saving levels
Savings ratio since 1963
In the post war period, the UK savings ratio was on an upward trend. Between 1964 and the early 1980s, we see a long-term rise. There was a peak in the recession of 1980/81.
However, between 1992 and 2008 (in a period known as the great moderation), the saving ratio fell to an all time low of 4.6%.
At the start of the credit crunch and recession of 2008-10, the saving ratio rose rapidly as consumers became more risk averse and wanted to pay off debts and increase savings. This rise in the saving ratio contributed to a fall in consumer spending and negative economic growth.
The sharp fall in real GDP in 2008/09 mirrored the sharp rise in the savings ratio.
The concern is that economic growth post-2012 is partly driven by a falling saving ratio, that is unsustainable without a rise in real wages.
Saving ratio in 2008-12 recession
The saving ratio in the 2008-12 recession didn't rise as much as during the 1990-92 recession. This is because:
- In the 1991-92 recession, interest rates were much higher (reaching a peak of 15%). Since 2009, interest rates have fallen to 0.5%. Therefore, from the perspective of interest rates there is a lower incentive to save in 2012
- The 2008-12 recession has caused a bigger long term squeeze on real incomes (due to higher tax, rising energy prices and falling real wages). Therefore, people have had less room to increase savings and pay off debt. They have been struggling to meet bills and so they don't have the same luxury of increasing saving.
Fall in savings ratio since 2010
Since 2010 Q1, the savings ratio has fallen significantly from 11.8% to 4.7% Q2 2015. This is partly due to stagnant real wages, though there are hopes that the recent rise in real incomes will translate into higher savings ratio.
Saving ratio v net financial wealth
Reasons for a fall in savings ratio during _PHONE_
- Availability of credit until 2007 encouraged people to take out loans.
- Rising House prices encouraged people to borrow because of their positive wealth effect. Home-owners could re-mortgage
- Cultural / social trends encouraging an attitude of borrowing and spending. See: Problem of Personal Debt
- Low-Interest rates. E.g. in 1991-92 interest rates were over 12%. In 2000s interest rates fell to 3%. Interest rates are currently 4.5% and less than inflation. This negative real interest rate discourages saving.
Note: There was also a fall in the savings rate in the Lawson boom of the 1980s
Why do saving ratios tend to rise in a recession?
- In a recession, people worry about unemployment and so are likely to be more cautious about borrowing and spending. If you fear unemployment, you don't want to be saddled with debt repayments on a new car. People tend to delay big purchases during economic uncertainty. Saving ratios rose during a recession such as 1991-92 and 2008-12.
- Banks are trying to improve their balance sheets by attracting more deposits and lending less. It is often hard to get a loan during a recession.
- During 2008-12 real interest rates were often negative which, in theory, reduces the incentive to save. However, low real interest rates can be outweighed by more important factors, such as the fear of being made unemployed. In other words, people are saving more – despite poor return from saving.
Saving ratio and the paradox of thrift
The paradox of thrift is the idea that if everyone saves at once, it can cause macro-economic problems (i.e. recession). From an individual perspective, it makes sense to save and pay off debts in a recession. But, if everyone pursues the same course of higher saving, it causes a fall in aggregate demand.
See: Paradox of thrift
Savings ratio and fiscal policy
In a recession, a sharp rise in the savings ratio means that consumer spending will fall significantly. In Keynesian economics, this is a reason for the government to borrow and increase spending. The logic is
- If the saving ratio rises, government spending needs to take the place of private sector spending and investment. Otherwise, the recession will be deeper.
- If the saving ratio rises, the private sector has more available funds to purchase government bonds.
Benefits of a higher saving ratio
A rapid rise in the savings ratio can cause a fall in aggregate demand and recession. However, in the long term, a higher savings ratio is often considered to help promote more sustainable economic growth.
Higher savings enables more private sector investment. Many see this level of investment as a key factor in determining the long term economic growth rate.
Problems of low savings ratio
A very low savings ratio can indicate:
- Unbalanced economy with over-reliance on consumer spending.
- Build up of personal debt.
- Current account deficit, (with imports greater than exports.)
Since 2010, the fall in the savings ratio has occurred during a widening of the current account deficit.
- Paying off debt and savings
- Difference between saving and investment
- Paradox of saving – why people save more when they say it is a bad time to save
- Definition of disposable income
(1) The ONS define the savings ratio (NRJS) – Households' saving as a percentage of total available households' resources.
(2) The saving ratio is subject to be revised at a later date.


manufacturers via auction and finally to the fur outlet, clocking up thousands of 'fur' miles of transportation energy costs along the way. The total energy consumption of a fur coat is estimated to be at least 15 times that of a synthetic fur. Considerable energy costs are also incurred as a result of the required cold storage during spring/summer months throughout the lifetime of the product.
In addition to the energy costs of transporting the animal pelts and finished fur garments around the globe energy is consumed at every stage of fur production.
Beginning with transporting feed to fur farms or trappers setting and checking their traplines, then shipping the animal pelts to international auctions and on to dressers, dyers, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and finally to the consumer, vast amounts of energy are consumed.
In describing the energy input required to run intensive animal farming operations, The Pew Charitable Trusts and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health note in a 2008 report that such systems are "almost entirely dependent on fossil fuels."
Petrol is used by trappers to check their miles of traplines on a regular basis, to remove dead and dying animals and to reset the traps. In many of the highest-trapping states trappers are required to check their traps every day for the 3-4 month duration of the trapping season. They do this using vehicles including trucks, snowmobiles, four-wheelers and even airplanes. And when trapping in inaccessible areas of Alaska, "many gallons of expensive gasoline must be freighted in" simply to operate the snowmobile. Trappers use so much gasoline, in fact, that a steep rise in price per gallon will leads to many trappers reducing how many traps they set or stopping altogether.
To calculate the energy required to operate tanneries, the European Commission states "it is necessary to record the energy consumption for electricity, heat (steam and heating) and compressed air, particularly for the units with highest consumption, such as waste water treatment and drying procedures."
The consumption of energy in the production of fur for fashion does not end once the fur coat has been purchased by a consumer. The Fur Information Council of America urges fur owners to annually store their furs in commercial furriers' vaults in which "air exchange is carefully regulated with temperatures kept below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and a constant humidity level of 50%." The rationale for summer cold storage-summarized by Sandy Parker, a noted analyst and reporter within the fur industry-is that for many fur retailers, this represents "the most lucrative aspect of [the entire fur] business."
In the late 1980s, Higgs Furs in the UK placed a series of advertisements using the headline: 'Environment Friendly Furs by Higgs'. The company claimed that 'furs are completely environmentally friendly'.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received a number of complaints challenging this claim including one from Lynx (Respect for Animals' predecessor) which provided ample evidence to show that furs could not realistically be described in this way. The ASA agreed and told Higgs Furs that they should change its advertisement accordingly.
Similarly, in 1992 Dutch group Bont voor Dieren lodged a complaint with the Dutch ASA against fur trade advertisements that described fur as 'ecological' (they also claimed that the welfare of animals on fur factory farms was 'excellent').
Evidence was provided by both sides and an exhaustive procedure undertaken after which, once more, the independent ASA said that fur could no longer be called 'ecological' describing the use of the word in this context as both 'misleading' and 'improper' (it also concluded that the claims over 'excellent' welfare were misleading). The judgement concluded that the Dutch Fur Institute's attempt to take advantage of the public's increasing concern for the environment was 'intolerable'.


MongoDB – Maximum operator ( $max )
MongoDB provides different types of field update operators to update the values of the fields in the documents and the maximum operator ( $max ) is one of them. This operator updates the field with the specified value if the specified value is greater than the current value.
 - This operator will compare the values of different data types according to the BSON comparison order.
 - You can also use this operator in embedded/nested documents using dot notation.
 - You can use this operator in methods like update(), updateOne() etc. according to your requirements.
 - If the given field does not exists, then this operator will create field and set the value of that field.
Syntax:
{ $max: { field1: value1, field2: value2 ... } }
In the following examples, we are working with:
Database: GeeksforGeeks
Collection: contributor
Document: three documents that contain the details of the contributors in the form of field-value pairs.
Comparing values (or numbers) using $max operator:
In this example, we are comparing values(or numbers) of the salary fields with the specified value, i.e., 5000. Here, the specified value is greater than the current value. So, $max operator updates the value of the salary field with the help of update() method to 5000.

Advancing the Rural Migration Initiative
The Regional Australia Institute (RAI), in partnership with Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, held a luncheon in Melbourne at the beginning of this month, to pursue a collective action on the rural migration initiative.
Earlier this year, the RAI launched the Missing Workers Paper that has since galvanized national support to address labour shortages and declining population in regional Australia.
RAI CEO Jack Archer said the purpose of the event was twofold. Firstly, to continue to educate and raise awareness of the need to address workforce shortages in rural communities, and secondly to highlight the strength and success of locally led migration campaigns.
"We are continuing to build a coalition of communities, organisations and peak bodies who can rally behind the need for transformation to ensure our regional and rural communities can continue to grow and prosper," Mr Archer said.
"Here at the RAI, we believe we can use our national network to harness and amplify the needs of regional Australia and we welcome the opportunity to work with regions who feel they too could benefit from being involved in the Rural Migration Initiative," Jack Archer said.
Speakers at the event included Councillor Cheryl McKinnon, Mayor of the Loddon Shire Council in Northern Victoria who shared her insights about how the Pyramid Hill community activated and led a cohesive strategy to welcome migrant families and boost their languishing workforce.
Personal accounts from Filipino migrants Marilyn Fernandez, a Kia-Ora Piggery worker, and Fione Garchitorena, a 15 year old High School student, brought home the sacrifices that were made and the challenges that were overcome with community support. Pleasingly both stories expressed that moving to Australia was the best decision their families had ever made.
Attendees also included senior representatives from Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, Dairy Australia, NBN Co, AusVEG, Open Universities, RDA Orana, AMA Victoria, John Holland, Limestone Coast LGA, The Scanlon Foundation, Refugee Talent, Leadership Great South Coast and Regional Development Victoria.
Later this month the RAI will be launching a Migration Tool Kit which has been generously sponsored by the Scanlon Foundation. This offering will be made available to regional communities across Australia to provide them with the step-by-step guide to undertaking a successful locally led Rural Migration Initiative.

Oxidation of Acid Red-151 aqueous solutions by the peroxone process and its kinetic evaluation
2006-06-01
Acar, Ebru
Ozbelge, Tulay
Oxidation of an azo dye solution, namely, Acid Red 151 by the peroxone process was investigated experimentally at different pH values, initial dye and ozone concentrations, and the initial molar ratios (r) of hydrogen peroxide to ozone. At pH 2.5 in this process, the obtained color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removals were higher than those at pH of 7 and 10. The best value of r yielding the highest treatment efficiency at each pH was determined as 0.5. The application of the "initial rates method" to the kinetic data for peroxone oxidation of aqueous Acid Red 151 solutions showed that the individual orders with respect to 03 and dye were one, the total order of the reaction being two. The rate constants based on the initial rates of dye degradation were determined as 98.9, 77.3 and 65.7 mM(-1) min(-1) at the pH values of 2.5, 7 and 10, respectively.

How to Unlock a TV Without a Remote
remote image by Sonar from Fotolia.com
In life, simple yet unexpected events take place, such as the loss or an accidental breakage of the television remote. When a television is locked while the remote is missing or broken, it makes matters worse. Locks are placed on televisions for privacy or age-restricted viewers.
To prevent a repeat of this event, store an extra remote in the house or business where the television is located. Without the original remote, some alternatives are available to remove the lock.
Read the manual. Televisions are accompanied by manuals when new. Some contain information on operating the television without the remote. Search for the "Lock" or "Privacy" section in the manual. If applicable, follow the given instructions.
 - In life, simple yet unexpected events take place, such as the loss or an accidental breakage of the television remote.
 - Some contain information on operating the television without the remote.
Reset the television. You can reset and eliminate the lock on some televisions without the remote, using a few tactics. Hold the power button for five seconds. The television will automatically restart. If the lock is still on, unplug the television and remove the battery from the back panel of the television. Wait several hours before reconnecting the plug and reattaching the battery.
Purchase a universal remote. If the manual or resetting option does not work for your television, you need a universal remote. You can get one of these in electronics stores or online. The universal remote supports most televisions. The universal remote manual is included in the purchase and will instruct you on installing it into the television. After installation, enter the lock code using the universal remote.
