State Capacity: What Is It and Why Is It Needed?
Reflecting on the recent past, two simultaneous forces are in play pertaining to capacities of governments – on the one hand, governments are expected to respond swiftly and effectively to risks and uncertainties; and on the other hand, there is a general increase in the expectations that citizens have from their governments in terms of breadth and depth of capacities. Governments are expected to handle issues related to governance of emerging technologies just as capably as issues related to social welfare. These dynamics require a systematic understanding of state capacity both at the conceptual and practical level.
The overarching motivating question is: State capacity for what? Sub-questions pertain to:
These questions and sub-questions are not meant to be comprehensive, and we welcome submissions on a wide variety of important current and emerging public policy and public management issues that may not be directly aligned with the theme of state capacity.
The IPPN Annual Conference 2022 aims to bring together scholars and practitioners not only from India but also from across the world through high-quality academic research and policy case studies.

The DATEADD() function adds or subtracts a specified time interval from a date.
DATEADD(datepart,number,date)
datepart(interval) can be hour, second, day, year, quarter, week etc; number (increment int); date(expression smalldatetime)
For example if you want to add 30 days to current date you can use something like this
 select dateadd(dd, 30, getdate())
To Substract 30 days from current date
select dateadd(dd, -30, getdate())

SELECT GETDATE() + (hours / 24.00000000000000000)
Adding to GETDATE() defaults to additional days, but it will also convert down to hours/seconds/milliseconds using decimal.

Supporting Volunteers - British Gymnastics
Supporting Volunteers
Recruiting new volunteers
When individuals are asked why they don't volunteer, the most common answer given is "because no one asked". You will often find that there are people within your club and community with the time and energy needed to support your club or event. It's just how you go about finding them. A good place to start is with parents of your gymnasts and previous club members. Why not design a leaflet or poster to display on your noticeboard, letting people know you are looking for volunteers. Be specific, detailing the role(s) you would like the volunteer to fill, how much time it is likely to take and what skills and attributes would be useful for the role. Individuals are much more likely to put themselves forward if they understand the level of commitment you are asking them to take on. Consider what your club does in terms of an induction process for volunteers.
Retaining volunteers
Once you've spent time, money and effort recruiting volunteers, it is important you do what you can to keep your volunteer involved: this will help with continuity at your club. Develop ways to maintain/improve the relationship between your volunteer and the club, for example by offering training for your volunteers.
Ensure that your volunteers feel valued, regardless or their role in club. It is important they know they contribute to the running of the club. This will help them to remain motivated and continue contributing because they can see the impact they are having.
Recognising volunteers
Recognition of time and effort is important to ensure volunteers feel appreciated. Learn what motivates each volunteer, and make your recognition appropriate to what they think is important. There are many ways you can recognise your volunteers, for example;
 - Thank your volunteer at the end of the session or send a Thank You letter after an event
 - Announce your volunteers at events and thank them for their hard work and commitment in front of the audience.
 - Organising a volunteer social evening
 - Nominate your volunteers for awards such as the British Gymnastics Volunteer of the Year Award, regional volunteers awards, or local sports awards operated by local councils. Even if your volunteer doesn't win, they will appreciate you recognising them by being nominated.
 - Write about your volunteers and put an article on your club noticeboard, in your club newsletter or send the it to your local newspaper.
 - Provide your volunteers with T-shirts. It will make them feel part of the team.

X11PERFCOMP(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual X11PERFCOMP(1)
NAME
 x11perfcomp - X11 server performance comparison program
SYNTAX
 x11perfcomp [ -r | -ro ] [ -l label_file ] files
DESCRIPTION
 The x11perfcomp program merges the output of several
 x11perf(1) runs into a nice tabular format. It takes the
 results in each file, fills in any missing test results if
 necessary, and for each test shows the objects/second rate
 of each server. If invoked with the -r or -ro options, it
 shows the relative performance of each server to the first
 server.
 Normally, x11perfcomp uses the first file specified to
 determine which specific tests it should report on. Some
 (non-DEC :) servers may fail to perform all tests. In this
 case, x11perfcomp automatically substitutes in a rate of 0.0
 objects/second. Since the first file determines which tests
 to report on, this file must contain a superset of the tests
 reported in the other files, else x11perfcomp will fail.
 You can provide an explicit list of tests to report on by
 using the -l switch to specify a file of labels. You can
 create a label file by using the -label option in x11perf.
OPTIONS
 x11perfcomp accepts the options listed below:
 -r Specifies that the output should also
 include relative server performance.
 -ro Specifies that the output should include
 only relative server performance.
 -l label_file Specifies a label file to use.
X DEFAULTS
 There are no X defaults used by this program.
SEE ALSO
 X(7), x11perf(1)
AUTHORS
 Mark Moraes wrote the original scripts to compare servers.
 Joel McCormack just munged them together a bit.

Technology doesn't create loneliness, it reveals it. Once revealed, technology can help alleviate isolation and spur connection.
Dr. Turkle urges reflection and analysis and the idea that technology is its infancy. These are two important ideas and I urge others to consider this perspective: that technology fosters connections and developmental growth among the most socially awkward and vulnerable.
A healthy relationship of any sort (e.g., romantic, friendship, family) requires reciprocity. But when these sorts of relationships are out of balance, technology can fill a void. I posit that while technology can lead to isolation, isolation can also lead to connection when a lonely individual reaches out to others or becomes involved in the community via technology.
I'm curious if others view the connection between technology and isolation as one-way or bidirectional or if some other perspective entirely is needed to describe the complex technology-human connection.

 statsdir directory_path
 Indicates the full path of a directory where statistics
 files should be created (see below). This keyword allows
 the (otherwise constant) filegen filename prefix to be
 modified for file generation sets, which is useful for
 handling statistics logs.
 filegen name [file filename] [type typename] [link | nolink]
 [enable | disable]
 Configures setting of generation file set name. Genera-
 tion file sets provide a means for handling files that
 are continuously growing during the lifetime of a server.
 Server statistics are a typical example for such files.
 Generation file sets provide access to a set of files
 used to store the actual data. At any time at most one
 element of the set is being written to. The type given
 specifies when and how data will be directed to a new
 element of the set. This way, information stored in ele-
 ments of a file set that are currently unused are avail-
 able for administrational operations without the risk of
 disturbing the operation of ntpd. (Most important: they
 can be removed to free space for new data produced.)
 Note that this command can be sent from the ntpdc(8) pro-
 gram running at a remote location.
 name This is the type of the statistics records, as
 shown in the statistics command.
 file filename
 This is the file name for the statistics records.
 Filenames of set members are built from three
 concatenated elements file ... prefix, file ...
 filename and file ... suffix:
 prefix This is a constant filename path. It is
 not subject to modifications via the
 filegen option. It is defined by the
 server, usually specified as a compile-
 time constant. It may, however, be con-
 figurable for individual file generation
 sets via other commands. For example,
 the prefix used with loopstats and
 peerstats generation can be configured
 using the statsdir option explained
 above.
 filename
 This string is directly concatenated to
 the prefix mentioned above (no interven-
 ing '/'). This can be modified using the
 file argument to the filegen statement.
 No .. elements are allowed in this compo-
 nent to prevent filenames referring to
 parts outside the filesystem hierarchy
 denoted by prefix.
 suffix This part is reflects individual elements
 of a file set. It is generated according
 to the type of a file set.
 type typename
 A file generation set is characterized by its
 type. The following types are supported:
 none The file set is actually a single plain
 file.
 pid One element of file set is used per
 incarnation of a ntpd server. This type
 does not perform any changes to file set
 members during runtime, however it pro-
 vides an easy way of separating files
 belonging to different ntpd(8) server
 incarnations. The set member filename is
 built by appending a '.' to concatenated
 prefix and filename strings, and append-
 ing the decimal representation of the
 process ID of the ntpd(8) server process.
 day One file generation set element is cre-
 ated per day. A day is defined as the
 period between 00:00 and 24:00 UTC. The
 file set member suffix consists of a '.'
 and a day specification in the form
 YYYYMMdd. YYYY is a 4-digit year number
 (e.g., 1992). MM is a two digit month
 number. dd is a two digit day number.
 Thus, all information written at 10
 December 1992 would end up in a file
 named prefix filename._PHONE_.
 week Any file set member contains data related
 to a certain week of a year. The term
 week is defined by computing day-of-year
 modulo 7. Elements of such a file gener-
 ation set are distinguished by appending
 the following suffix to the file set
 filename base: A dot, a 4-digit year num-
 ber, the letter W, and a 2-digit week
 number. For example, information from
 January, 10th 1992 would end up in a file
 with suffix .1992W1.
 month One generation file set element is gener-
 ated per month. The file name suffix
 consists of a dot, a 4-digit year number,
 and a 2-digit month.
 year One generation file element is generated
 per year. The filename suffix consists
 of a dot and a 4 digit year number.
 age This type of file generation sets changes
 to a new element of the file set every 24
 hours of server operation. The filename
 suffix consists of a dot, the letter a,
 and an 8-digit number. This number is
 taken to be the number of seconds the
 server is running at the start of the
 corresponding 24-hour period. Informa-
 tion is only written to a file generation
 by specifying enable; output is prevented
 by specifying disable.
 link | nolink
 It is convenient to be able to access the current
 element of a file generation set by a fixed name.
 This feature is enabled by specifying link and
 disabled using nolink. If link is specified, a
 hard link from the current file set element to a
 file without suffix is created. When there is
 already a file with this name and the number of
 links of this file is one, it is renamed append-
 ing a dot, the letter C, and the pid of the ntpd
 server process. When the number of links is
 greater than one, the file is unlinked. This
 allows the current file to be accessed by a con-
 stant name.
 enable | disable
 Enables or disables the recording function.
Access Control Support
 The ntpd(8) daemon implements a general purpose address/mask based
 restriction list. The list contains address/match entries sorted first
 by increasing address values and then by increasing mask values. A match
 occurs when the bitwise AND of the mask and the packet source address is
 equal to the bitwise AND of the mask and address in the list. The list
 is searched in order with the last match found defining the restriction
 flags associated with the entry. Additional information and examples can
 be found in the "Notes on Configuring NTP and Setting up a NTP Subnet"
 page (available as part of the HTML documentation provided in
 /usr/share/doc/ntp).
 The restriction facility was implemented in conformance with the access
 policies for the original NSFnet backbone time servers. Later the facil-
 ity was expanded to deflect cryptographic and clogging attacks. While
 this facility may be useful for keeping unwanted or broken or malicious
 clients from congesting innocent servers, it should not be considered an
 alternative to the NTP authentication facilities. Source address based
 restrictions are easily circumvented by a determined cracker.
 Clients can be denied service because they are explicitly included in the
 restrict list created by the restrict command or implicitly as the result
 of cryptographic or rate limit violations. Cryptographic violations
 include certificate or identity verification failure; rate limit viola-
 tions generally result from defective NTP implementations that send pack-
 ets at abusive rates. Some violations cause denied service only for the
 offending packet, others cause denied service for a timed period and oth-
 ers cause the denied service for an indefinite period. When a client or
 network is denied access for an indefinite period, the only way at
 present to remove the restrictions is by restarting the server.
 The Kiss-of-Death Packet
 Ordinarily, packets denied service are simply dropped with no further
 action except incrementing statistics counters. Sometimes a more proac-
 tive response is needed, such as a server message that explicitly
 requests the client to stop sending and leave a message for the system
 operator. A special packet format has been created for this purpose
 called the "kiss-of-death" (KoD) packet. KoD packets have the leap bits
 set unsynchronized and stratum set to zero and the reference identifier
 field set to a four-byte ASCII code. If the noserve or notrust flag of
 the matching restrict list entry is set, the code is "DENY"; if the
 limited flag is set and the rate limit is exceeded, the code is "RATE".
 Finally, if a cryptographic violation occurs, the code is "CRYP".
 A client receiving a KoD performs a set of sanity checks to minimize
 security exposure, then updates the stratum and reference identifier peer
 variables, sets the access denied (TEST4) bit in the peer flash variable
 and sends a message

) site as having only 0.14% horse bones out of a total of over 15,000 bone fragments found. Even in later finds in India cattle and other mammal bones account for over 60% of bone findings while horse bones are found in smaller proportions. In some Iron Age sites in India, horse related metal artefacts like bits have been found, but no horse bones. Horses were not absent in India, but they just do not represent a significant part of the archaeological record.
Close to the borders of modern India, in Afghanistan, the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC) is situated along the route that it is alleged that horses and language were brought to India from Eurasia. No horse bones have yet been found in the BMAC. This is no more surprising than the relatively sparse horse bone findings in India from 2500 BC to 300 AD. There are some soil and climate conditions that allow some remains to survive for extended periods while others nearby may disappear. At the site of the historic battle of Little Bighorn of 1876 in the USA, more than 200 men were killed. They were all buried on site. Modern excavations have revealed only 46 partial human skeletons. Most of the remains have disappeared after less than 150 years. While the presence of horse bones in a grave is proof that a horse or horse parts were buried there, the absence of horse bones means nothing. It does not mean that horses did not exist.
Another curious fact is that Harappan skeletal remains have revealed camel bones at many sites, but those camel bones are of the one-humped Arabian camel and not the two humped Bactrian camel from nearby Afghanistan, the direction from which horses are said to have been brought. This is one more indicator that Harappan society before 2000 BC had links with Arabia. In fact much of the copper used in tools was imported from Oman. It seems likely that there was a coastal trade with Arabia as attested by the finding of Harappan artefacts in Mesopotamia. Horse remains, apparently with evidence of domestication, have been found in Saudi Arabia from 9000 years ago and it is likely that horses and camels may have been imported to India before 2000 BC in coastal trade from Arabia. One hymn in the Rig Veda mentions a horse sacrifice that was part of the "Ashvamedha yagna" ritual conducted by some kings in their lifetime. The number of ribs mentioned in the hymn is thirty four. Arabian horses tend to have thirty-four ribs as opposed to the thirty-six ribs in horses from Europe and Central Asia. Arabia apart, Tibet, with its own breeds was the closest source of horses for north India.
Historian Romila Thapar writes:
"The second millennium also saw activity along the Indo-Iranian borderlands, including the arrival in north-western India of the horse and the chariot with a (sic) spoked wheel, both of which were new to the subcontinent."
The chariot is cited as a technological advance that led to the spread of people from the steppes. It is claimed that the domestication of horses in the steppes somehow did not lead to the people migrating out. They waited 1500 years until someone had invented a chariot with spoked wheels. The spokes were apparently very important because they made chariot wheels light and maneuverable. At this stage, it is claimed, the steppe people went on to conquer the world. The story of horse and chariot as a world beating combination is fascinating, but reality is more modest. Chariots are no good for war in mountainous terrain or in forested regions. The route to India from Eurasia passes through the Hindu Kush mountains and the treacherous 5000 meter high snow-bound passes are difficult to cross for modern motor vehicles, let alone chariots in 1500 BC. Alexander the great, whose military acumen and generalship are not in doubt, significantly did not choose to bring chariots across the Hindu Kush as his campaign reached the banks of the Indus in 300 BC. Even so, the crossing of mountain passes took such a heavy toll on his men and animals that his campaign to conquer India ended on the banks of the Indus. The idea that Bronze Age chariot riders from the steppes came to India on chariots across the mountain passes are suggestive of a mind that is more familiar with Hollywood than military strategy. Chariot making is more about technology rather than direct imports. A traveler in a faraway land who sees a chariot with spoked wheels would be able to replicate its design, given some skill in carpentry, without actually riding the chariot back home.
Of course there is now physical evidence of chariots in India before 2000 BCE making these tales about Aryan chariots redundant, but one must ask why it has been necessary to deny and stonewall the evidence of horses and chariots in India. The only reason why historians, linguists, anthropologists and archaeologists might want stick to the untenable story of hordes migrating to India with horses from Eurasia despite the weight of evidence to the contrary is because the story fits in with the linguistic imaginings of how language must have spread. Archaeological data that fits in with this story is selectively cherry picked while discarding all facts that fail to fit the theory.
In science, theories are made to explain available facts, but it appears that science has been dispensed with when it comes to theories about how Indo-European languages spread. Non-linguistic evidence points towards the inevitable conclusion that currently touted theories about how Indo-European languages spread, based on linguistic reconstructions, are wrong. Vedic references and post-Veda texts both have references to hydrological and astronomical events that occurred over a span of 10,000 years in India suggesting that Sanskrit was part of the Indian linguistic landscape thousands of years before Eurasian charioteers. History books need to be wiped clean of fake horse and language migration theories that surely rank among the top hoaxes ever played by scholars on any unsuspecting population. Linguists and historians who denied and stonewalled all evidence in favour of their pet theories must be called to account. And their predictable polemic and gaslighting of all critics by accusing them of representing right-wing Hindus needs to be recognized as the defining feature of the lack of evidence for absurd theories that were passed off as historic facts.

writing of the nineteenth century we are likely to encounter one or more of the vernacular characteristics of utilitarian ethics, concern with the value of the individual, and the panoramic effort to comprehend a diversity of people and places in specific local and factual terms; and we are sure to find these characteristics developed in writing aimed at wide audiences-in personal narratives (from outright autobiographies like Franklin's to books like Melville's Typee and Redburn and Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Life on the Mississippi), in books of information, in humorous writing, and in journalism.
Now let us see how some of these same vernacular qualities have manifested themselves in American painting, where the medium of expression is less subject to utilitarian demands than the written word.

Why do companies have subsidiaries?
A company may organize subsidiaries to keep its brand identities separate.
This allows each brand to maintain its established goodwill with customers and vendor relationships.
Subsidiaries are often used in acquisitions where the acquiring company intends to keep the target company's name and culture..
What is the relationship between a parent company and subsidiary?
The difference between a subsidiary and a wholly owned subsidiary is the amount of control held by the parent company. A parent company has a controlling interest in another company, which means it has majority ownership of that company and controls its operations.
What happens to a subsidiary of its parent company bankrupts?
If the parent company is in bankruptcy protection, and the subsidiary company is profitable then they will likely be allowed to continue operating the subsidiary in order for the parent company to receive dividends. Under bankruptcy protection, the company is trying to refinance its' debts and stay in business.
How do I find a company's parent company?
Use a corporate research website such ZoomInfo.com, Hoovers.com or LinkedIn.com. For example, ZoomInfo searches the web for information linking companies including parent companies and employees. Enter the business name and wait for a report on the business, which should contain the name of the parent company.
How do I find information on a company?
The Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides financial and business information about publicly held companies. The SEC's Web site at can be found at _URL_. EDGAR is the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System.
What is an example of a parent company?
Holding Companies and Parent Companies: Examples One of the best-known holding companies is Berkshire Hathaway. … Facebook is a parent company. It has operations of its own and also has subsidiaries such as WhatsApp and Instagram. Amazon, another parent company, owns subsidiaries such as Zappos and Whole Foods.
What are the benefits of a subsidiary?
THE PRINCIPAL TAX BENEFIT associated with adopting a subsidiary structure is the ability, on federal income tax returns, to offset profits in one part of the business with losses in another. Forming a subsidiary also can provide tax benefits at the state level.
What is the difference between holding and subsidiary company?
A holding company is a parent company designed to own or control other businesses. A subsidiary is owned or controlled by a parent company, but that parent company might not be a holding company.
What is considered a subsidiary company?
In the corporate world, a subsidiary is a company that belongs to another company, which is usually referred to as the parent company or the holding company. The parent holds a controlling interest in the subsidiary company, meaning it has or controls more than half of its stock.
What is a subsidiary company with example?
A subsidiary company is a business owned by a parent company. Subsidiary companies are separate legal entities created by the parent company or another party. … Wholly-owned subsidiaries are 100 percent owned by the parent company. An example would be the Disney Channel, which is wholly owned by The Disney Corporation.
How many subsidiaries can a company have?
THE RESTRICTION The Rules provide that a company can no longer have more than 2 (two) layers of subsidiaries.
How do you tell if a business is public or private?
How can I tell if a company is public or private? Search the Mergent Intellect or Mergent Online library databases, which include information on both public and private companies. Search the Factiva database. Choose Company from the Companies/Markets tab to find companies by company name.
Is a subsidiary liable for the parent company?
Parental Liability for the Subsidiary If the subsidiary stays independent, the parent isn't liable for any negligent or criminal acts on the subsidiary's part. However, the law does allow for exceptions: … The subsidiary shifts its assets to the parent company to avoid paying damages.
Is a subsidiary an asset of the parent company?
A subsidiary is a legal entity that issues its own stock and is a separate and distinct operating business that is owned by a parent company. The stock of the subsidiary is an asset on the balance sheet of the parent company.
Can a subsidiary be a small business?
The SBA's small business regulations confirm this to be true. Indeed, to qualify as a small business for most federal contracting purposes, a company can be a subsidiary of a foreign firm—so long as certain criteria are met.

How de Broglie Showed that All Particles Display Wave-Like Properties - dummies
How de Broglie Showed that All Particles Display Wave-Like Properties
By Steven Holzner
In 1923, the physicist Louis de Broglie suggested that not only did waves exhibit particle-like aspects, but that the reverse was also true — all material particles should display wave-like properties.
How does this work? For a photon, momentum

And the wave vector, k, is equal to

De Broglie presented these apparently surprising suggestions in his Ph.D. thesis. Researchers put these suggestions to the test by sending a beam through a dual-slit apparatus to see whether the electron beam would act like it was made up of particles or waves. In the figure, you can see the setup and the results.

In Figure a, you can see a beam of electrons passing through a single slit and the resulting pattern on a screen. In Figure b, the electrons are passing through a second slit. Classically, you'd expect the intensities of Figures a and b simply to add when both slits are open:
I = I1 + I2
But that's not what happened. What actually appeared was an interference pattern when both slits were open (Figure c), not just a sum of the two slits' electron intensities.
The result was a validation of de Broglie's invention of matter waves. Experiment bore out the relation that

and de Broglie was a success.
The existence of matter waves says that you add the waves' amplitude,

not their intensities, to sum them:

You square the amplitude to get the intensity, and the phase difference between

is what actually creates the interference pattern that's observed.

About Dr. Gholdy Muhammad
Gholnecsar Muhammad (Gholdy Muhammad) is currently an associate professor at Georgia State University teaching literacy and language in the Department of Middle and Secondary Education. She began her career as a reading, language arts and social studies middle school teacher in Cahokia, Illinois.
After teaching in the classroom, she served as a school district assistant curriculum director and was responsible for kindergarten through 12th-grade literacy instruction, grant writing, assessments and professional development.
Muhammad received her Ph.D. in literacy, language and culture at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her research interests are situated in social and historical foundations of literacy development within Black communities and the writing practices among Black women and girls. She explores 19th-century Black literary societies to understand literacy development and how the roles of literacy can be reconceptualized in classrooms today.
She became interested in this line of research when she led a summer writing institute with Black girls called, Black Girls WRITE!. She continues to hold summer literacy programs with Black and Brown youth as well as Muslim girls. She explores how historical practices among communities of color can be used with adolescent learners today.
Some of the journals she has published articles in include, Research in the Teaching of English, English Education, Urban Education, Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy and Written Communication.
Additionally, she serves as the director of the Georgia State Urban Literacy Collaborative and Clinic. She strives to shape the national conversation for educating youth who have been underserved. She also strives to support the next generation of educators who are seeking pathways to meet some of the most pressing challenges encountered in urban schools.
She works with teachers and youth across the United States and South Africa in best practices in literacy instruction. Currently, she is working in Harlem schools in conjunction with writing her forthcoming book entitled, Historically Responsive Literacy.
She is a former school board president and continues to work collaboratively with local schools across communities in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
Muhammad is the 2014 recipient of the National Council of Teachers of English, Promising New Researcher Award, the 2015 NCTE Alan C. Purves Award, the 2016 NCTE Janet Emig awardee, the 2017 Georgia State University Urban Education Research Awardee and the 2018 UIC College of Education Researcher of the Year.
In Cultivating Genius, Dr. Muhammad presents a four-layered equity framework–one that is grounded in history and restores excellence in literacy education. This framework, which she names, Historically Responsive Literacy, was derived from the study of literacy development within 19th-century Black literacy societies. The framework is essential and universal for all students, especially youth of color, who traditionally have been marginalized in learning standards, school policies, and classroom practices. The equity framework will help educators teach and lead toward the following learning goals or pursuits:
- Identity Development–Helping youth to make sense of themselves and others
- Skill Development– Developing proficiencies across the academic disciplines
- Intellectual Development–Gaining knowledge and becoming smarter
- Criticality–Learning and developing the ability to read texts (including print and social contexts) to understand power, equity, and anti-oppression
When these four learning pursuits are taught together–through the Historically Responsive Literacy Framework, all students receive profound opportunities for personal, intellectual, and academic success. Muhammad provides probing, self-reflective questions for teachers, leaders, and teacher educators as well as sample culturally and historically responsive sample plans and text sets across grades and content areas. In this book, Muhammad presents practical approaches to cultivate the genius in students and within teachers.

The 13th in Project Euler is one big number problem:
Work out the first ten digits of the sum of the following one-hundred 50-digit numbers.
Obviously, there are some limits in machine representation of numbers. In R, 2^(-1074) is the smallest non-zero positive number, and 2^1023 is the largest. The numbers in the 13th problem is definitely within this range. Although, there is one global parameter to be modified. By default, if one sum up these 100 numbers naively, the result would be 5.537376e+13. This is due to the number of digits to print is 7 by default. Thus, to get the first 10 digits, you need to adjust this parameter a little bit.
1 2 3 4 5
options(digits = 10) digits <- digits <- scan("clipboard", what = 0) result <- sum(digits) # the digits before e is the answer # only nine digits will show, as the tenth number is zero
Two more things to be addressed.
- R package gmp() is a specific package for big number calculation.
- The first 10 digits in the sum is mostly dependent on the first 10 digits of 100 numbers. You could simply calculate the sum of these 100 first-10-digits (for safety reason, take first-11-digits) to get the result. Be ware of the option(digits) still to be changed.


calls used in this printer driver use parameters as described in Inside Macintosh as a result. Points are passed by value, unless they are listed as "VAR" parameters in IM. Strings are always Pascal strings. The MPW Pascal style interface does not appear to include all the List Manager calls, but this is taken care of in the C source files rather than in the header file. Perhaps MPW 3.0 high-level languages will have a uniform programming interface for all IM calls.
The C code as supplied can use either "PrintTraps.h" or "Printing.h" to define Print Manager calls which are used. For compatibility with systems older than 4.1, define BACKWARD_COMPATIBLE in "dmp-110.h" so that "Printing.h" gets used. Use of the calls in "PrintTraps.h" results in smaller code. Use of "Printing.h" assures compatibility with older systems. For a driver for your own use, then, the newer header file is appropriate if you are running all your Macs with System 4.1 or newer. For distribution, the older header file is probably better.
The header file "DMP-110.h" is the current version of "Daisy.h" from the 1987 article. It defines constants and typedefs which are shared between the various code resources. It gets smaller each time I work on it as the code moves closer to the point where the various code resources can be independent of each other.
The main resource definition file, "DMP-110.rsrc.r," is Rez source for all the non-code resources used in the printer file. If you are planning on using Aztec C or another system to build a printer file based on this one, and don't have MPW Shell, then you have to convert this file, or get the source disk and decompile the resources in the printer file.
This article includes Aztec listings, but all files in the folder picture will be included in the source disk.
The table entitled "DMP-110 Files Listing" shows all the files which exist in the project folder after a successful "buildprogram dmp-110" using the MPW language tools.

Messing Around in Assembler: The Glue
The specially assembled headers for the printing code resources are concentrated in one source file, and are now much easier to deal with. The MPW code is assembled in modules, using the PROC?ENDP directive pairs. All modules are kept in one object file. When the glue is linked with each C object file, the linker option "-m <module>" is used to determine the start address of the code resource. You have to name the glue file first on the linker command line, and have the entry point be the first module in the glue file which is picked up by the linker, in order to have the header appear at the top of the linked code resource. The structure of the assembler headers was discussed in the 1987 article, and is the same here.
The Aztec glue is a little different, since the Aztec linker does not have a "-m" switch, and is not smart enough to pluck out the correct startup routine. Conditional assembly takes care of this. If you compile with Aztec, you just get four ".o" glue files instead of one. In order to prevent a conflict of entry points, the Aztec Makefile creates a special version of the runtime library with the default entry point removed.
The assembler glue defines some read-only constant data using "dc.b" and "dc.w" directives. This is because the MPW C compiler will not define string and array constants with PC-relative addresses. Since you have to have the glue anyway, why not make use of it? This is a convenient place to store device-dependent things like escape codes. Some C compilers do allow definition of string constants within source files which are to be linked into stand-alone code resources, but the trend appears to be to move away from this. Use of such also reduces portability.
The Aztec C libraries appear to be missing a glue routine for IsMPPOpen(). I have supplied assembler glue for this.
The Style Dialog: Image Scaling Strategies
This printer file includes a number of named 'PREC' resources. A list in the Style Dialog allows the user to choose between them. Only one paper size is currently allowed, but a number of scaling factors are supplied. Each style is appropriate for a particular kind of application program or printing effect. This is a convenient dialog to use during development, since the dialog code doesn't have to know a lot about the printer's capabilities, and you don't have to recompile to try out a different 'PREC'. The printing code figures out at run-time how big the paper is, and how to scale the image in the Printing Port before sending it to the printer. If you design a printer driver which allows a number of different options which are independent of each other, then a more elaborate dialog box might be appropriate.
When one of the list cells is selected and the dialog is confirmed, the dialog code copies the appropriate fields from the 'PREC' resource whose name matches the selected cell. The dialog code also records the resource number of the chosen 'PREC' in one of the private fields of the Print Record which it returns to the application, and uses this information to choose the style to select when putting up a new Style Dialog. This means that the last-chosen style for a document is "remembered" if the application saves the Print Record.
Most of the Print Records supplied with this printer file specify Picture-scaling to enlarge the printed image before sending it to the printer. In order to understand the effect of scaling on the appearance of the printed output, it is necessary to understand the differences which exist between the capabilities of applications to cope with scaling.
Paint programs print images strictly as BitMaps. Whatever you have on the screen is mirrored, bit for bit, in the printing GrafPort when using one of these programs. These usually cannot scale images themselves, nor do they produce images which can be scaled attractively. HyperCard is a perfect example.
Font-oriented programs, such as word processors, provide the ability to adjust the spacing between characters when printing justified text. This may cause problems when we try to print an image at a different resolution from that in which it has been drawn originally.
For scaling to be successful, a larger size font must exist, or the text will be printed in a scaled font, which will not be attractive. If we scale an image containing justified text by a non-integral factor, then quantization errors in text positioning cause justification to fail. This is a problem with the DMP-110, since there is no way to divide 72 dpi (screen) evenly into 120 dpi (paper). A way around this is to provide a Printing Port resolution of 60 dpi, and scale by 2, but this means the apparent size differs from screen to paper, and results are not really WYSIWYG.
Another problem arises when we scale by an integral amount, and the sizes of characters in the font family are not linear. For example, the capital 'A' in Times 12 has a width of 8, but the capital 'A' in Times 24 has a width of 17. If the character sizes are not linear, then justification fails when the Picture is enlarged, even if by an integral amount. Screen fonts like Geneva always print with justification preserved if the output Picture is scaled by an integral amount, because character sizes are linear. LaserWriter fonts, on the other hand, seldom print correctly under these conditions, because character sizes are not linear. The printer file needs to exchange some information with the Font Manager in these cases, so that non-linear fonts will be positioned correctly. Since I don't do this, my printer file will not print LaserWriter fonts so that the right ends of justified lines are properly lined up.
The most "advanced" printing application type is a program which handles images as a collection of objects. The size of an object is determined using non-screen units such as inches or centimeters, and the program can handle practically any printer resolution you throw at it. Since these programs do not store images as collections of bits, but rather

Background and Aims : Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is the only enzyme responsible for the degradation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in the lysosome at an acidic pH. Mutations in its gene cause two rare autosomal recessive diseases, depending on the residual activity of the enzyme. One of the most common symptoms of LAL deficiency is lipid malabsorption throughout the small intestine accompanied by macrophage infiltration. We aim to investigate the consequences of whole-body and intestinal LAL deficiency on lipid metabolism and absorption.
Methods: We collected three parts of the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) and livers from mice with a global (LAL KO) or intestine-specific deletion of LAL (iLAL KO) and wild-type littermates. We isolated RNA and protein and quantified lipids. Lipoprotein secretion and cholesterol absorption were also assessed.
Results: We found massive lipid accumulation in the small intestine of LAL KO mice, particularly in macrophages in the lamina propria, associated with elevated cholesterol absorption. Despite drastically reduced LAL activity in iLAL KO enterocytes, villus morphology, lipid concentrations, and expression of lipid transporters and inflammatory genes were unaltered in the small intestine of iLAL KO mice.
Conclusions: Although small intestinal LAL expression and lipid accumulation are substantial in LAL KO mice, iLAL KO animals do not recapitulate this phenotype. Therefore, loss of LAL in enterocytes alone is not sufficient to cause lipid deposition in the small intestine, implying that macrophages play an important role in this process. Further studies are needed to determine the involvement of LAL in enterocytes and macrophages in lipid absorption.

Looking at the numerous meanings and usages of the preposition "zu" we can only give an incomplete answer here to cover some special cases where we have a loose rule indeed.
Whenever we use "zu" we also indicate some spacial correlation, a direction, or other defined relations.
Der Kellner beugte sich zu dem Gast herab.
Alle Besucher sind zu dem Fest gekommen.
When we consider this then a meaning of a sentence may change:
Er hat mir ein Muster gebracht. - He gave me a sample.
Er hat ein Muster zu mir gebracht. - He brought the sample to me.
Er gehört zu mir. He became a part of me.
Er gehört mir. "He is mine."
Now let's look at both of your examples:
Er hat etwas zu mir gesagt und nicht zu jemand anderem.
Er hat [zu] mir etwas gesagt, was andere nicht hören sollten.
Both have nearly the same meaning, but in the first case it is important that the speech was directed to you. Hence you can not leave out the "zu". This is different in the second case. The direction is not important, you leave out the "zu". When you inserting it there it is not wrong but it became a rather superfluous filler.
Sie hat das Geld zu mir gebracht und nicht zu Paul.
Sie hat mir das Geld gebracht und nicht Paul.
Again, direction is emphasized in the first sentence whereas it is the person whom she gave the money to who plays the important role in the second sentence. This would in theory not only work with "bringen" but also with "geben" but here it is simply not used this way. Therefore it sounds awkward and wrong to a native's ear.
It may be confusing, but in another context "geben" indeed is used with "zu":
Meine Urgroßeltern mussten ihren Sohn zu Pflegeeltern geben.
In this case it is not a direction but a change in relation being responsible for using "zu" (like in "Er gehört zu mir." above).


can avoid it or as in this case, store only index keys to keep it as small as possible.
When I've started this project, DynamoDB transactions were not available, so in order to make ACID possible, on each transaction, I'm storing an array of events.
In most cases, that array contains a single event:
Fig. 4— DynamoDB Item with a single event
But there are times a transaction is completed by storing multiple events:
Fig. 5— DynamoDB Item with multiple events
Storing data like this ensures "all or none" events are saved for every command, but it also means that events must be "flatted" when retrieved.
Projections & Process Managers
After an event is stored in a database, that information must be propagated to event handlers, which are used in two ways:
 - as projections — for updating additional databases or services like "getStream"
 - as process managers (or "sagas") — for side effects like sending emails or completing payments via 3rd party services
In both cases, it's preferable to send events in a fault tolerable and reliable way in the same order in which they are stored.
If an error occurs in an event handler, it shouldn't continue receiving new events until it's resolved. Also, each event handler must be isolated, so an error in one handler doesn't affect others.
For those reasons, every projection or process manager consumes events by using a FIFO (First-In-First-Out) message queue.
A message queue provides a buffer which temporarily stores messages sent by a "producer" and keeps them stored on the queue until a "consumer" retrieves it and, in the end, deletes it. In a FIFO queue, only after a message is deleted, the next one can be processed.
Fig. 6— message queue (source)
DynamoDB Streams to SQS
A lambda function which sends a message into an SQS queue is triggered when a new event is stored, using DynamoDB Streams.
Since it's not advisable to use multiple lambdas connected to a DynamoDB Stream, a single lambda function forwards the event metadata into multiple SQS queues — one for each event handler (B1 in fig. 3).
Additionally, an array of events received from the stream (committed transaction) must be broken down so that for each event in an array, a separated SQS message is sent.
If an error occurs in any step of that process, DynamoDB stream will retry sending the same table item until it succeeds. This opens up a possibility of sending duplicate messages, which is why I'm also using deduplication option on each FIFO queue.
SQS to Event handlers
To get a message from an SQS queue, there must be an external service which polls it.

Microarray technology is widely applied to address complex scientific questions. However, there remain fundamental issues on how to design experiments to ensure that the resulting data enables robust statistical analysis. Interwoven loop design has several advantages over other designs. However it suffers in the complexity of design. We have implemented an online web application which allows users to find optimal loop designs for two-color microarray experiments. Given a number of conditions (such as treatments or time points) and replicates, the application will find the best possible design of the experiment and output experimental parameters.

QA Qatar Domain - Nameservers (NS or DNS) Record Update Time
 Saturday, April 29, 2023
When it comes to managing a website, one of the most critical aspects is to ensure that your domain nameservers (NS or DNS) are updated correctly. This article will discuss the importance of updating your nameservers and how long it takes for QA Qatar domain nameservers to update.
Importance of Updating Nameservers:
Nameservers are the backbone of the Domain Name System (DNS), which is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses. When you update your nameservers, it tells the internet where to find your website, email server, and other online services. This makes it essential to keep your nameservers up-to-date so that your website remains accessible and functions correctly.
Time Required for QA Qatar Domain Nameservers to Update:
The time it takes for nameserver updates to take effect can vary based on several factors, such as the domain registrar, DNS hosting provider, and internet service providers. In general, it can take up to 24-48 hours for QA Qatar domain nameservers to update fully.
Factors Affecting Nameserver Update Time:
 1. DNS Propagation: When you update your nameservers, DNS propagation needs to occur for the changes to take effect. DNS propagation refers to the time it takes for DNS servers worldwide to update their records with the new information.
 2. TTL (Time to Live) Settings: TTL settings determine how long a DNS server caches the DNS information before checking for updates again. If your TTL settings are set to a longer duration, it can take longer for the DNS changes to propagate.
 3. DNS Server: The time it takes for nameservers to update can also depend on your DNS Server. Some DNS servers like CloudFlare have faster propagation times than others.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, updating your nameservers is crucial to ensure that your website remains accessible and functions correctly. While it can take up to 24-48 hours for QA Qatar domain nameservers to update fully, there are several factors that can affect the update time. By understanding these factors, you can better plan for DNS changes and ensure that they take effect as quickly as possible.

I am sure one has to use indefinite sums and the Euler-Maclaurin formula.
$$\sum_{x=0}^{n} f(x)=\sum_{x}f(n+1)-\sum_{x}f(0)=\int_{0}^{n+1}f(t) \ dt -\frac{1}{2}f(n+1)+\left(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{B_{2k}}{(2k)!}f^{(2k-1)}(n+1)\right)+\frac{1}{2}f(0)-\left(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{B_{2k}}{(2k)!}f^{(2k-1)}(0)\right)$$
Where $\sum\limits_{x}$ is the anti-difference operator and $B_{2k}$ is the sequence of Bernoulli numbers.
For example with $\tan(x)$I tried the following.
 F[n_] := NIntegrate[Tan[x], {x, 0, n + 1}] - 1/2*Tan[n + 1] +
 Sum[(BernoulliB[2 k] D[Tan[n + 1], 2 k - 1])/(Factorial[2 k]), {k,
 1, 1000}] + 1/2*Tan[0] -
 Sum[(BernoulliB[2 k] D[Tan[0], 2 k - 1])/(Factorial[2 k]), {k, 1,
 1000}]
But this does not work since the integral does not converge fast enough at the asymptotes.
One person told me approximating such a sum works at an interval from $[-\pi/2,\pi/2]$. In such cases how do we extend the rate of convergence.
Can programming be used efficiently in such a process?

Not a solution but a long comment. tl;dr — I don't think this can be done for $f(x)=\tan(x)$.
One of the conditions for the Euler-Maclaurin formula to work is that the function must be continuous. This is not the case here.
More concretely for this case, using the pigeonhole principle it's easy to see that as $n$ grows larger, some index values $x\in\{0..n\}$ will be arbitrarily close to half-integer multiples of $\pi$, and therefore their contributions to the sum will be arbitrarily large (and quasi-random). As a result, the sum $\sum_{x=0}^{n}\tan(x)$ does wild jumps at quasi-random points, and therefore I do not believe these jumps can be series-approximated by only looking at derivatives around $x=n$, as in the Euler-Maclaurin formula.
Some examples to show the quasi-random behavior. You can see that even for large $n$ this sum has significant structure, and that this structure is different at every scale (i.e., every plot looks different even though I've simply expanded the horizontal axis ten-fold):
pl[n_] := ListPlot[Accumulate[N[Tan[Range[0, n]]]], Frame -> True]
pl /@ (10^Range[6])

 - $\begingroup$ Regarding your first point, would we not be able to restrict the window in which we approximate, such that we see a continuous function? What I mean is, OP mentions an interval, we can use this, no? $\endgroup$ May 20 '19 at 9:24
 - $\begingroup$ @CATrevillian sure you can use the EML formula to approximate an integral on an interval; but I don't see how that's related to the OP's question. OP mentions an interval but doesn't connect it with the question. $\endgroup$

 - $\begingroup$ My mistake! It is still early here. I had read it as asking how to approximate the Tan[x] function using the Euler-Maclaurin Series/Formula, and that since it works at the interval indicated, how do we increase the rate of convergence, i.e. how do we reduce the number of require steps to approximate the function over the interval. Regardless, very nice work here. I enjoy your answers quite a bit, they help myself and my colleagues to learn a great deal :D $\endgroup$ May 20 '19 at 9:44

 $\begingroup$ @Arbuja the answer given on the page you link is, in my opinion, an answer only a mathematician can love. The given anti-difference T[x_] = I*x - QPolyGamma[x+π/2, E^(2*I)] indeed technically satisfies DifferenceDelta[T[x], x] == Tan[x], but the function T[x] is itself infinite for almost all $x$ because the $q$-digamma function does not converge for $q=e^{2i}$. In other words, T[x] and T[x+1] are infinite but such that T[x+1]-T[x]==Tan[x]. All this is discussed at length in the comments on the page you link. $\endgroup$

Alternative Methods of Drainage Management in San Joaquin Valley, Californiaby S. Alireza Taghavi, James M. Montgomery Consulting, Engineers, Sacramento, United States,
Ben Everett, James M. Montgomery Consulting, Engineers, Sacramento, United States,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Water Resources Planning and Management: Saving a Threatened Resource—In Search of Solutions
Abstract: The subsurface drainage and drainage-related problems in the San Joaquin Valley cost millions of dollars to the State and local economy every year. A number of actions have been proposed for management of drainage problem, which contain several components such as source control, drainage reuse, evaporation system, land retirement or change in land use practices, groundwater management, discharge to San Joaquin River, protection and restoration of wildlife habitat, and institutional changes. Four alternative drainage management scenarios are developed from a combination of these components. These scenarios are analyzed using the San Joaquin-Tulare conjunctive use model (SANTUCM) developed for this project. The scenario runs suggest that the best drainage management practice can be achieved through a combination of source control, change in land use practices, and increased groundwater pumping in selected areas, as well as water exchanges and transfers within the existing distribution system.

TUESDAY BRINGS TROUBLE
Music and mystery!
So what do you expect when you pick up a mystery that uses a song title as its title?
Music often plays a role in the mysteries we love to read. When using it in the title, such as Michelle Spring's Standing in the Shadows, it can signal the plot, say something about the character, or give a hint at the setting. I read the title and the song takes off in my mind. From that point, it's fun to figure out how it relates.
The fifth anthology from The Ladies' Killing Circle, Bone Dance was music-themed. Each contributing author was asked to choose a song title and write a short mystery to go with it. Check the table of contents and you'll see an array of titles that inspired the mystery authors. Your next step should be to read the stories and see how they tied in. What fun it was to produce that anthology and I think all the authors enjoyed the challenge.
Peter Robinson is well-known for using song titles for his series, and his main character, Inspector Banks, loves a variety of music but mainly jazz. This tells the reader something important about the character, setting him up in the reader's mind as to what kind of guy he is and how he'll react to what's happening in his world.
A musician himself, writer Rick Blechta brings that knowledge to his mysteries, giving the reader an insight into the life of a musician, albeit, one who encounters murder. When Hell Freezes Over takes the reader into the rock musician world -- it's one of my favourites.
My character (or rather, Erika Chase's) in A Killer Read, Lizzie Turner, sings in a community choir which is busily practicing Vivaldi, Mendelessohn and Rutter for its Christmas concert. Hopefully this gives you an impression which becomes part of a well-defined character.
You'll get to know her by how she reacts to the people in her life, her thoughts about the murder, her job, her home, her interactions with the two Siamese cats in her life, what she wears and even the car she drives. You'll get to know her as do you do a friend. And, hopefully want to spend more time with her.
You'll find music in the writings of many other Canadian mystery authors, too. Who are some of your favourites?

open readonly. The subscripts array will be executed, creating the subscripts in memory, and the pointers (subscripts) will be set in the calling program. So, if I had a file layout such as the following:
 color.dat, CO_, 1
 color.key, CODE
 recl=127
 ===================================================
 CODE$, Color Code, C 6
 NAME$, English Name for Color, V 30
 CATEGORY$, General Category of Color, C 6
 HTML$, HTML Code for the Color, C 6
Then the functions would do the same thing as the following individual lines of code (assuming the next available file handle was 5):
 DIM FORM$(5)*255
 DIM COLOR$(9)*1023, COLOR(1)
 OPEN #5: "Name=color.dat, kfname=color.key",internal,outin,keyed
 LET FORM$(5)="form C 6,V 30,V 6,C 6"
 LET FORM$(5)=CFORM$(FORM$(5))
 LET COLORFILE=5
 CO_CODE=1
 CO_NAME=2
 CO_CATEGORY=3
 CO_HTML=4
The data is used by referencing the file array, with the subscript name, so the color's description becomes color$(co_Name).
In the old days, if we wanted to change the file layout of our file, all of the programs that used that file would have to be changed one at a time to use the new file layout. Also, if the order of the fields changed, then all the programs would have to also be changed to use the new fields.
But now, using this function, we can change the file layout all we want. If we later want to insert a field into the file layout before color name, I won't have to look at this program again; this program will just work fine, because the library maps the subscripts to the actual fields.
Also, the code is easier to read and maintain.
Example
The whole thing looks like this:
 01025 ! Dimension the Arrays
 01030 DIM color$(1)*1023,color(1)
 01040 DIM colorcat$(1)*1023,colorcat(1)
 01050 DIM form$(1)*255
 02000 !
 02020 library "fileio.br": fnopenfile, fnreaddescription$
 04020 let colorfile=fnopen("color",mat color$,mat color,mat form$) ! Open the file
 05000 !
 30120 read #colorfile, using form$(colorfile) : mat color$, mat color eof Ignore ! Read the file
 30180 LET ColorCode$=color$(co_Code) !:
 LET ColorName$=color$(co_Name) ! Use the data by referincing it in the file arrays
 80000 !
 90000 ! Every program using fileio needs the following code
 99010 OPEN: ! ***** Function To Call Library Openfile And Generate Subs
 99020 def Fnopen(Filename$*255, Mat F$, Mat F, Mat Form$; Inputonly, Keynum, Dont_Sort_Subs, Path$*255, Mat Descr$, Mat Field_Widths)
 99030 dim _FileIOSubs$(1)*800
 99040 let Fnopen=Fnopenfile(Filename$, Mat F$, Mat F, Mat Form$, Inputonly, Keynum, Dont_Sort_Subs, Path$, Mat Descr$, Mat Field_Widths, Mat _FileIOSubs$)
 99050 for Index=1 to udim(mat _FileIOSubs$) : execute (_FileIOSubs$(Index)) : next Index
 99060 fnend
File Layouts
Now lets inspect the anatomy of a properly formatted file layout. These should be placed in a subdirectory called filelay.
 price.dat, PR_, 1
 price.key, FARM

 price.ky3, FARM/ITEM/GRADE
 price.ky4, DESCRIPTION-U/COST

 DESCRIPTION$, Description of Price Rule, C 30
 #eof#
 additional comments...
 price.dat, PR_, 1
The first line contains the name of the Farm File, a unique string to prefix all of your subscript pointers, and the file version number. The subscript value is to ensure that the program knows the difference between the Farm File's Farm Code, and the Route File's Route Code. (One will be RT_CODE and the other is FM_CODE). These are separated by a comma. Spacing does not matter, so adjust your spacing so that it looks nice.
The Version number is used to determine when the data has changed, and an update needs to be made to your data file. Your file layouts should all start at version 0, and each time you want to make a change, you may increment this value by 1.
Each time you open a file with the FILEIO library, it reads the file version number of the file on disk (using the BR version() function), and then it compares it to the version number in your file layout. If your file layout has a higher version number then your existing data file, then the library opens the backup of the file layout for the version of the data file that exists on disk. It makes a backup copy of the existing data file, and creates a new file with the proper version number. Then it reads your records one at a time, and copies all the data from the old file into the new file one field at a time. If a field is dropped from the file layout, that data gets lost. If fields are rearranged, the data is copied and saved in the new file in the new positions. If a new field is added, it starts out blank (or 0).
If you look in the filelay folder, you will notice a version folder. This contains several files ending with a number. For example you may see a color.0, and a color.1 file.
If you run the fnopen function and it can not find your data file (usually because this is a new file and it hasn't been created yet), the library will automatically create your file, based on the information you give in the first part of the file layout.
Also, whenever you make changes to your file layout, the function library will automatically update the data files on disk for you. It does this by renaming the old file, creating a new one with the new version number, and then copying the data from the old one to the new one a record at a time.
Any time it creates a file, or updates the file on disk, it creates a backup of the file layout. The first time you run a program that tries to read your new data file, it will create the data file for you and make a backup of the layout, and if the number in your file layout is 0, then it will create, for example, a filelay\version\price.0 file, a backup of your file layout that the library uses to figure out what has changed the next time you try to update the file.
If you wish to make any changes to this data file, first you increment the version number, (in this case make the 0 into a 1). Then change the file layout all you want. You may rearrange fields, add new fields, add or remove keys, or change the record length.
The only step necessary for having your data files updated is to increment the version number every time you make a change to the file layout.
You may make any changes you like to the file layouts, but do not change the names of your existing subscripts. If you change the subscript name, not only will all the programs that reference that subscript be broken, but additionally, the routine will not understand that you are changing the name. It will think you are dropping the old field and adding a new field and any data stored in this location will be lost when the file is updated.
 price.key, FARM
The second line contains the name of the first key, and a definition telling what

Cutting pollution to Covid pandemic level may prevent Himalayan glaciers from disappearing: Study
New Delhi: Reducing air pollution to levels similar to those during the COVID-19 pandemic could protect the Himalayan glaciers and prevent them from disappearing by the end of the century, a study by an international research team from India, Germany and the UK has found.
Analysing the situation during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, the team found that cleaner air during the period ensured that less soot was deposited on the glaciers, resulting in 0.5 to 1.5 milimeter (mm) less snow melting per day.
The rapid retreat of glaciers and the loss of snow cover already pose a threat to the sustainable water supply of billions of people in Asia who live in the catchment areas of rivers such as the Indus, Ganges and Yangtze, according the researchers.
If emissions of air pollutants such as soot could be reduced to at least the level of the lockdowns, snowmelt could be reduced by up to half, they said.
The study, published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, found that a switch to clean energy supplies and lower-emission modes of transport would therefore bring significant benefits for sustainable water supplies, agriculture and ecosystems in large parts of Asia.
The mountains of the Hindu Kush Himalayas (HKH) and the highlands of Tibet in Central Asia form the largest snow-covered region outside the poles.
The meltwater from these glaciers feeds rivers in India and China, which fuel agriculture, hydropower generation and the economies of these countries.
Model simulations for extreme scenarios show that the melting snow in the Himalayas could cause the glaciers there to disappear by the end of the 21st century.
The researchers noted that the economic slowdown caused by the lockdown measures during the coronavirus pandemic led to a drastic decline in passenger and freight transport, industrial emissions and energy consumption in this region in 2020.
As a result, air pollution with greenhouse gases and especially soot also decreased significantly, they said.
Satellite observations showed cleaner snow with almost a third less light-absorbing pollution during the lockdown in Asia between March and May 2020, the researchers said.
This led to a decrease in snowmelt of 25 to 70 mm in 2020—compared to the 20-year average for the months of March to May in the western Himalayas, they said.
The changes in snow absorption and surface albedo thus ensured that around 7 cubic kilometers of meltwater remained in the Indus catchment area, according to the study.
The team used global simulations to analyse in detail the impact of reduced air pollution over high mountains in Central Asia during the COVID-19 lockdowns between March and May 2020.
"The aerosol optical thickness (AOD), i.e., the atmospheric opacity, over this region decreased by around 10 per cent in April 2020 compared to before the pandemic," said Suvarna Fadnavis from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune.
"This is supported by measurements from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which also show a reduction in AOD compared to the average of the last 20 years," Fadnavis said.
The decrease in soot was also observed in the ground-based measurements of the Aerosol Radiative Forcing Over India Network (ARFINET): over the Indian Gangetic Plain (over 50 per cent), Northeast India (over 30 per cent), the Himalayan regions (16–60 per cent) and Tibet (70 per cent), the researchers said.
The reduction in anthropogenic air pollution led to less soot being deposited on the snow in large parts of the high mountains of Central Asia, they added.

A free rider is someone who "rides for free" in economics: he benefits for something without paying for it. An example is the sailor who benefits from a lighthouse built by someone else.
A lighthouse and national defense are examples of public goods. The market would not provide those goods as it would be unable to charge a price to all users/consumers. It would be both unprofitable and impractical to attempt to do so. They suffer from what is known as the free rider problem.
The free-rider problem is often cited in economics as justification for taxes in order to compel most people to share the costs for public goods such as national defense or public education.
In fact, conservative economists have increasingly challenged whether the free rider problem really exists. Studies on the historical building of lighthouses reveal misconceptions about the economics of that issue, and the public expense of public schools have far outweighed their benefits.

Trisecting an Angle
Date: 11/21/96 at 12:45:13 From: Tracy J Henson Subject: Trisecting an angel I've recently been pondering the possibility of trisecting an angle. I wasn't sure if it was possible and found a FAQ submitted to you that stated it was indeed impossible. Has it been proved to be impossible or is it that no one has proved it possible? The reason I ask is that I think (but am not sure) that I have found a way to trisect an angle. I am a seventh grade math teacher, so I am not completely ignorant of mathematical proofs. I would appreciate some information on who would be the best person to contact with my "proof". I hope you believe me because I think this actually works.
Date: 11/21/96 at 14:47:32 From: Doctor Tom Subject: Re: Trisecting an angel Hi Tracy, There is, in fact, a proof that a trisection is impossible. Many people think they have found trisections, but they either don't understand exactly what the problem is or their method is flawed. The problem requires the construction of the trisection using an (unmarked) straightedge and a compass. If, for example, you were allowed to make 2 marks on the straight-edge, there is a trisection. The straight-edge can only connect points already constructed, or use arbitrary points, and the compass can only be used similarly. An exact trisection in a finite number of steps is also required since it's easy to do a trisection that doesn't require too much accuracy. As a limiting case, it might be possible to perfectly trisect an angle in an infinite number of steps. The proof that it's impossible basically considers the arithmetic form of the points that can be obtained using a compass and straight-edge. In a sense, they are "quadratic" devices - the new points generated are solutions of quadratic equations of previously constructed points. So you can clearly get things like square roots, fourth roots, eighth roots, and so on (and it's a bit more complicated than that - what you can get are field extensions of degree 2 over whatever you begin with). But you CANNOT solve irreducible cubic equations this way - such solutions require extensions of degree 3, and no combination of multiples of 2 gives a multiple of 3 (to put it in an inexact, but hopefully clear, way). You can, beginning from nothing, construct a 60 degree angle. So if you can trisect anything, you can trisect the 60 degree angle which you produce. So if you have a trisection, you can construct, from scratch, a 20 degree angle. Hence you can construct the sine and cosine of 20 degrees. But it's easy to show that the sine and cosine of 20 degrees are roots of an irreducible cubic equation over the rational numbers. This is a contradiction, so a trisection is impossible. To get the details, read about fields and field extensions in an abstract algebra book. Also, to find out more about trisecting angles (or not being able to do so!), do a search under "trisecting an angle" at: _URL_ or take a look at this site: _URL_ So the bottom line is, there's probably something wrong with your trisection, not because I've seen it, but because I've studied field extensions and irreducibility. (And I'm not sure about trisecting "angels" as in your title - you'll need to talk to a Bible expert about that :^) -Doctor Tom, The Math Forum Check out our web site! _URL_
Date: 11/21/96 at 22:36:25 From: Tracy J Henson Subject: Re: Trisecting an angel Thanks for your swift response. I thought I found all the typos. I surely would never attempt to trisect or even bisect an angel.

Successful Environment Projects
Based on the results of the Lions Clubs Service Activity Report, Lions have dedicated more than 9 million hours to protecting the environment in the last ten years. Environment projects have included tree planting, recycling, education, environmental clean-up, water preservation, and green technology projects as well as involvement in environmental advocacy/governance.
- Memorial Forest (Dist. 36-O, USA): Oregon Lions worked with Lion Frank Lockyear to create a Vietnam Memorial Forest. This environment project, called "Say Yes to Trees," will plant 60,000 trees to memorialize every fallen American in Vietnam.
- International Reforestation Cooperation (Dist. J-1, URUGUAY): The Punte del Este and Montevideo Pocitos Lions Clubs created a local Joint Commission of Agriculture to promote the planting of 50 million trees. This reforestation effort grew from the club to the district level. Lions expanded the project by working with district governors in Georgia and Florida (USA) who donated pine seeds compatible with growing conditions in Uruguay.
- Trees for Africa (MD 105, ENGLAND): Lions in MD 105, in concert with the Europa Forum, financed the planting of trees in Africa through twinned clubs. European Lions financed the trees, and African Lions provided progress updates and verified the planting.
- Student Memorial Forest (Dist. 324-C2, INDIA): The Lions Club of Snehapuri donated trees for a school planting project. Each student watered his or her own tree. Name plates affixed to the saplings identified each tree.
- Recycling Center (Dist. 17-SW, USA): Lions of Stafford, KS (pop. 2,000) organized a recycling center that processes 5,000 pounds of trash every two weeks. Working with commissioners, the city engineer and other interested parties, Lions arranged for an empty building to be the recycling center, and a local waste disposal company to pick up aluminum, plastic, newspaper and glass. The unmanned facility is opened and closed daily by local police.
- Reusable Beverage Cups (Dist. 111-SM, GERMANY): At a Christmas fair, the Bad Wimpfen Lions Club initiated a concept to sell beverages in reusable cups. The achievement earned the club an environment certificate from the mayor.
- Promoting Improved Disposal (Dist. 310-B, THAILAND): Many restaurants, schools and homes dump cooking grease in waterways. Accumulated grease hardens in outbound pipes and blocks water flow or causes grease to overflow into the public drainage system. To solve this problem, the Lions devised a simple method to trap grease and collect it in a bin. Later, the grease is buried under trees as fertilizer or dried in the sun to become charcoal.
- Noise Pollution (MD A, CANADA): Canadian clubs compiled statistical data on the effects of noise pollution, which resulted in a report that serves as a prototype for clubs in other countries interested in adressing noise pollution issues.
- Multi-Faceted Program (MD 103, FRANCE): Various service projects addressed different aspects of the environment, including a recycling program, a tree planting program, the clearing of a nature trail and preservation of a species of wild birds of prey. Lions also removed air pollution damage from religious and cultural monuments, and held district seminars on improving the environment.
- Save the Himalayas (Dist. 322-B, INDIA): A bicycle rally created awareness of the environmental crisis facing the Himalaya Mountains and the Ganges River.
- Save the Rhino Project (Dist. 412, ZIMBABWE): The Lions Club of Umfuli dedicated a fundraiser to save the black rhinoceros. Contributions from the successful benefit ball totaled US$70,000.
- Hawaiian Island Clean-Up Campaign (Dist. 50, USA): The Kihei Lions Club supports annual clean up, forestation and preservation efforts on their island.
- Cemetery Clean-Up (Dist. 335-A, JAPAN): The Akashi Futami Lions Club sponsors three cemetery cleanup projects per year, where they pull weeds and pick up litter.
- Noxious Weed Eradication (Dist. 323-D, INDIA): The Miraj Lions Club organized an environment project to collect and destroy Parthenium Grass (Gajar Gawat), which poses a health threat to the community. The club paid workers to remove the grass.
- Purifying the Seas (Dist. 108-Y, ITALY): The Agrigento Lions Club created a plan to save the Mediterranean Sea in accordance with the United Nations' Blue Plan. The club sponsors lectures, holds informational programs on safeguarding the Mediterranean from pollution and holds fundraisers to support this program.
- Ecosystem Preservation (Dist. 111-NB, GERMANY): Lions aided in the reconstruction of a river ecosystem by altering the path of a local river. Lions will also help restore the river and an accompanying bird sanctuary.
- River Clean Up (Dist. 333-B, JAPAN): The Utosonomiya Lions Club cleaned a local river and then stocked it with fish.
- Potable Water (Dist. 411, TANZANIA): Local Lions clubs donated a safe drinking water system to the town of Morogoro. More than 1,000 residents have benefited from having access to safe drinking water.
- Solar Energy for a Recycling Center (Dist. 36-R, USA): The Eugene Bethel Lions Club in Oregon developed an experimental solar unit to use as an energy source for their community recycling center.
- Electric Car (Dist. 103-IP, FRANCE): Lion Michel Baury, Chairman of the National Committee on the Environment, helped develop an electric traction car. He worked with the City of Paris, and organizations including the UNEP, the Committee for the European Year of the Environment and the Electricite de France to complete his car. In 1990, he raced his car in the International Formula E Grand Prix of Touquet and a year later, entered it in the Vincennes Grand Prix.
- International Court for the Environmental Safeguard of the Mediterranean Sea (MD 108, ITALY): Lions developed an international court to preserve their water source. The court maintains a seat in Rome, and has 18 member countries. It reviews violations compromising the equilibrium of the environment or those living in the area. Sentences, arbitrations and declarations according to international rules are served to those responsible for damaging the Sea.
- Suggesting Improvements (Dist. B-9, MEXICO): The district advocated that local government agencies institute strict control of the area's air, land and water. The Lions proposed emission controls and increased oversight of landfill usage. In addition, they suggested a new sewage system to eliminate contamination of the general drainage system while effectively recycling water.

Household income or consumption by percentage share: lowest 10%:NA%
Definition: Data on household income or consumption come from household surveys, the results adjusted for household size. Nations use different standards and procedures in collecting and adjusting the data. Surveys based on income will normally show a more unequal distribution than surveys based on consumption. The quality of surveys is improving with time, yet caution is still necessary in making inter-country comparisons.

A probabilistic analysis of a continuous-time evolution in recombination. (arXiv:1810.07238v1 [math.PR])
We study the continuous-time evolution of the recombination equation of population genetics. This evolution is given by a differential equation that acts on a product probability space, and its solution can be described by a Markov chain on a set of partitions that converges to the finest partition. We study an explicit form of the law of this process by using a family of trees. We also describe the geometric decay rate to the finest partition and the quasi-stationary behavior of the Markov chain when conditioned on the event that the chain does not hit the limit.查看全文

Becoming an Empathic Civilization
Jeremy Rifkin, economist and founder of The Foundation on Economic Trends, believes it is possible to expand the reach of our empathy to the entire human race, and beyond. He cites new research showing that humans are soft-wired with mirror neurons that cause us to empathize with one another. This emotion has evolved over time: What began as a feeling reserved for those of the same family has expanded to those of the same tribe, to religion, to nation.
- We Are Hard-Wired to Care and Connect: Recent research has shown that our brains are made to support caring, cooperation, and service.

Record of Leaf and Pollen cf. Sloanea (Elaeocarpaceae) from the Middle Siwalik of Darjeeling sub-Himalaya, India and its Palaeobiogeographic Implications
Journal of the Geological Society of India
Fossil leaf impressions and pollen grains comparable to modern Sloanea sp. of Elaeocarpaceae collected from the middle part of the Siwalik sediments (Geabdat Sandstone Formation; Pliocene) in Darjeeling foothills of eastern Himalaya are reported in the present communication. On the basis of macro morphological features, leaf remains are described as a new species Sloanea siwalika sp. nov. This is the first authentic record of the occurrence of leaf and pollen grains comparable to the genus Sloanea L. from the Cenozoic sediments of India and Asia as well. The recovery of this species and other earlier-described evergreen taxa from the same formation, suggests the existence of a tropical, warm and humid climatic conditions during the depositional period. The present study further suggests that after Pliocene the taxon might have shifted from Darjeeling Himalayan region to the adjoining southeast Asian land masses, due to possible climate change caused by post-Pliocene orogenic movement of the Himalaya.
