foment hatred by occasional attacks on blacks. They, for instance, try to restrict them from visiting restaurants and landlords, which cause a new wave of discrimination and vicious insults. Since apartheid has had a long history in South Africa, it probably will take long to eradicate it.
Racism in New Zealand essay
According to the surveysб New Zealand has experienced more positive attitude towards ethnically diverse groups during the last 15 years. Though New Zealand is regarded as a multicultural country (the main ethnic groups are European, Maori, Pacific people and Asian), it is regarded as constitutionally bicultural society, thus the main conflict lies between Maori, indigenous inhabitants, and Pakeha people, European descendants. In comparison to Pakeha, which is considered to be the foremost class of the society, Maori experience lack of medical insurance, lack of learning opportunities and low access to high-paid jobs. Also, there is such a problem as inequality in general income between Pakeha and Maori, and lower life expectancy of the latter. Another topic for writing an essay on is whether the current population of the country can be considered as New Zealanders. Many claim that it can destroy Maori cultural identity and lead to the deprivation of their rights.
Racism in Lebanon essay
Though Lebanon is known as a liberal country due to the vast freedom enjoyed by its female population, and the country attracts visitors with its archeological remnants, good weather and tasty food, the level of racism towards foreign workers grows rapidly. Most workers come from Nepal, Philippines, Ethiopia and Sri Lanka, usually these are females working as maids and nannies for wealthy Lebanese families. They, as well as dark-skinned men, experience vicious racism and are treated badly by their employers. For example, they are barred from visiting beaches and swimming pools, both private and public ones, and from Lebanese clubs. The most blatant racism is experienced by Palestinians, who are not allowed to work at almost every job possible. Ethnically-based discrimination in Lebanon is practiced since Lebanese consider migrants only as a cheap labor. The problem of discrimination is worsening mainly because the Lebanese government hasn't taken any measures against its elimination.
Racism in Puerto Rico essay
The history of Puerto Rico started in early 16th century when European colonizers have settled on its territory. For a long period of time, particularly for more than 4 hundred years, Puerto Rico has been a possession of Spain and it contributed a lot to the emergency of the so-called mix-race. The current population of Puerto Rico is primarily the descendants of Native Tainos, Spanish colonizers, and Africans who were brought here as slaves. At the same time, the U.S. census has shown that over 80% Puerto Ricans have identified themselves as being white, approximately 8% as black, the rest recognize themselves as representatives of other ethnical groups. The most rampant racism has been experienced by Africans, Native Americans, and their posterities. For instance, blacks have never been elected as governors or senators despite the fact that current president of the U.S. is African American. They are also less likely to get well-paid professions and consequently jobs, which are reserved for white citizens. It becomes obvious that though Puerto Ricans claim they have no prejudice in their country, these examples evidence that it still takes place in the society.
Racism in Russia essay
Russian federation is the largest country in the world, which consists of numerous autonomous federations and numerous ethnic groups, but at the same time, it is well known for its racist acts. For example, based on the data of the Sova Centre, in 2013, more than 20 people were murdered and over 173 were injured as a result of racist and neo-Nazi attacks in Moscow. Among the victims were primarily Central Asia and Caucasus republics natives, dark-skinned and Chinese. Thus, blacks and other ethnically diverse minorities are often warned from coming to study or even to visit Russia. There are also nationalist organizations in the country, which include thousands of members, who regularly train in gyms or forests. Such belligerent attitude towards "different" people seems to be mainstream. One more thing that reaffirms negative concern to foreigners is the refusal to shelter Syrian refugees and accusing Western European countries of accepting people from those parts of the world. Judging from Putin's politics, the situation of deep-seated racial prejudice will hardly alter for the better in the nearest time.
Racism in sports today essay
Sport is an important part of our society. Millions of people have their favorite teams and players and watch games all the time. That is why, whatever happens on the playing field, especially if it is an incident that displays discrimination towards colored players, cannot be left without proper attention. The issue of racism in sports is an old but still hotly disputed problem. They claim that racism has already been conquered, but in reality, colored players are challenged greatly. Though a lot of black sportsmen, known as African Americans, be they individual athletes or team players, have already proved that they can succeed at any sport, they are still discriminated to the present day. The history gives us many examples of African American black legends, starting from Jesse Owens who has won 4 gold medals during the Berlin Olympics in 1936. Unfortunately, the display of racial intolerance still remains a tendency in some sports.
Racism in hockey essay
If you write about racism in hockey, we advise you to mention that the majority of hockey players has always been white. Though the hockey leagues, like NHL league, try to change the situation by increasing the number of ethnically diverse players, the issue of racism in the leagues gets more serious as well. For instance, a damnable incident happened to one of the few NHL's African American player Wayne Simmonds during the game on September 23, 2011. One of the spectators threw a banana at Simmonds while the player was making a shootout attempt. Despite the shock, Simmonds managed to finish the game and commented later that if you are black playing white men's sport, things like that are expected. However, NHL claims that the organization takes necessary steps to end this awful game's practice by adopting inviting colored players to their league. This will also have a positive effect on the younger generation that still doubts whether they should go in for hockey or not.
Racism in football essay
Football is one the worldwide popular sports, and at the same time, it is considered to be the favorite sports of roughnecks and cads. As a result, the incidents of racist behavior happen on the field here and there. In most cases, such misconduct is shown by football fans, who often show their racist attitude. According to the surveys, the most ignorant football fans are those from Spain, Italy, Holland, and from Eastern-European countries. They display their intolerance towards ethnically diverse players in different ways: it can be offensive racist statements or chanting, inappropriate gestures, crowd violence, and other insulting acts. One of the most outrageous displays of racism happened in December 2011, when the Liverpool striker, Luis Suarez, abused Patrice Evra of Manchester United during the game. For such unacceptable behavior, Suarez received eight-match suspension and a fine, which is just one quarter of his monthly salary. Most experts believe that only more severe punishments for such acts can help to avoid intolerance on the soccer fields.
Racism in soccer essay ideas
It seems that soccer and racism are closely interrelated. That is why if you need to write an essay on racial bias in soccer, it won't be difficult due to a huge number of examples of discrimination misbehavior on a playing field. For example, Euro 2012 hosted by Poland and Ukraine, was overflowed with rampant racism. More than one-quarter of all federations of countries participating in the event, primarily Russian, Spanish and Croatian soccer federations, were fined for the uncontrolled racist behavior of their fans during the games. The German federation particularly was fined since its fans exhibited neo-Nazi symbols when their team won a game with Denmark. The former captain of England's federation even tried to persuade ethnically diverse English fans to stay at home not to "come back in a coffin". Even if the most loyal and tolerant countries, like England and Germany, face the problem of racism in sports, then prompt steps should be taken in order to change such a plaguy situation in our community.

Then if any expired or expiring certificates are found, you will be notified by an email and a popup message.
PowerShell: Create a Certificate Expiration Popup Notification
Then create an automatic task for the Task Scheduler to be run once or twice a week and run the PowerShell script to check expiry dates of your HTTPS website certificates. (You can create a task in the Task Scheduler to run a PS1 script file using Register-ScheduledTask cmdlet.)
How to Check for Expired Certificates in Windows Certificate Store Remotely?
You may also need a PowerShell script check the expiration dates of certificates used by cryptographic services on your domain servers (e. g., RDP/RDS , Exchange, SharePoint, LDAPS certificates, etc.) or users' computers.
On a local computer, you can get a list of certificates using the command:
Get-ChildItem -Path cert
Powershell 3.0 has a special -ExpiringInDays argument:
Get-ChildItem -Path cert: -Recurse -ExpiringInDays 30
In PowerShell 2.0, the same command looks like this:
Get-ChildItem -Path cert: -Recurse | where { $_.notafter -le (get-date).AddDays(30) -AND $_.notafter -gt (get-date)} | select thumbprint, subject
To check only your own certificates, use the Cert:\LocalMachine\My container instead of Cert: in the root folder. Thus, you won't check Windows trusted root certificates and commercial certificates.
To find certificates that will expire in the next 30 days on all domain servers, use this PowerShell script:
$servers= (Get-ADComputer -LDAPFilter "(&(objectCategory=computer)(operatingSystem=Windows Server*) (!serviceprincipalname=*MSClusterVirtualServer*) (!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))").Name
$result=@()
foreach ($server in $servers)
{
$ErrorActionPreference="SilentlyContinue"
$getcert=Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server { Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine\My -Recurse -ExpiringInDays 30}
foreach ($cert in $getcert) {
$result+=New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property ([ordered]@{
'Server'=$server;
'Certificate'=$cert.Issuer;
'Expires'=$cert.NotAfter
})
}
}
Write-Output $result
Scan Windows Certificate Store for Expiring Certificates remotely using powershell
You will get the list of server certificates that are about to expire and you will have enough time to renew them.

How to Reduce Windows.edb Huge File Size _URL_ _URL_ Mon, 10 May 2021 08:00:00 +0000 _URL_ Windows.edb is the Windows Search index database. A search index allows users to quickly search for data and files in the file system due to indexing of files, e-mails in PST files and other content. Indexing is performed in the background by the SearchIndexer.exe process. Obviously, the more files there are in the system, the larger the size of the Windows.edb file. In some cases, it can grow up to tens or even hundreds of GB, taking up all the free space on the system drive.
The Windows.edb file is hidden and by default is stored in the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\
The Windows.edb file can be found in all modern client and server Microsoft OSs: from Windows 7/Server 2008 to Windows 10/Server 2019.
For example, in my case the size of Windows.edb is more than 15.5 GB (i. e. over 15% on my 100 GB SSD drive).
huge Windows.edb file
You can check the current size of the Windows.edb file with the following PowerShell command:
((Get-Item $env:programdata'\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb').length/1GB)
powershell get windows.edb file size
Next, let's look at a several ways to reduce the size of the huge Windows Search Index (Windows.edb) file.
How to Reset and Rebuild Windows Search Index?
The most appropriate, though not too effective way to reduce the size of Windows.edb is to re-index the files in the system. To do it, open Control Panel -> Indexing Options -> Advanced -> click Rebuild (to open this dialog box, you can run the following command: Control srchadmin.dll ).
rebuild windows search index
After some time, the Windows Search will complete a full reindex of the data on the system drive (and other indexed location), and the size of the edb file will be reduced (it took several hours to rebuild the search index on my computer).
Reducing Windows.edb Size Using Defragmentation
The Windows Search Index file is a Microsoft EDB database. You can defragment the EDB database using the standard tool for maintaining such databases, esentutl.exe (Extensible Storage Engine Utility – should be familiar to Exchange admins). The database is defragmented offline (it must not be used), so you will have to stop Windows Search service first. You can join all these operations in a single bat/cmd script:
sc config wsearch start=disabled
sc stop wsearch
esentutl.exe /d %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb
sc config wsearch start=delayed-auto
sc start wsearch.
To perform the defragmentation, there should be sufficient free space on the hard drive, since a full copy of the EDB file will be created.
Esentutl displays on the screen the current EDB file defragmentation progress. If you see an error after running the esentutl command:
Operation terminated with error -1213 (JET_errPageSizeMismatch, The database page size does not match the engine) after 10.125 seconds.
This means that you are using a 64-bit OS and you need to use the x86 esentutl version to perform defragmentation. In this case, the third command will look like this:
"C:\Windows\SysWOW64\esentutl.exe" /d %AllUsersProfile%\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb
defrag Windows-edb with esentutl
In my case, after the defragmentation, the size of the Windows.edb file reduced by 30%.
Remove and Recreate the Windows.edb file
If free disk space is critical, you can safely delete the Windows.edb file. This action is safe because you don't lose any data, only the search index is reset. To delete the Windows.edb file, stop the Windows Search service, then delete the file and start the service.
net stop "Windows Search"
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search" /v SetupCompletedSuccessfully /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
del %PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb
net start "Windows Search"
The value of the registry parameter SetupCompletedSuccessfully = 0 in the reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search forces the Windows Search service to reset the current settings and indexing paths at the next start, restore the default windows search parameters and add the default indexing paths.
After you restart Windows Search, it will start the background reindexing process and recreate the Windows.edb file (system performance may decrease during the full reindexing).
Move the Windows.edb File to a Different Drive
In some cases, when the size of Windows.edb file is constantly growing, it is better to move the index database


The Indigenous Roots of Rock and Roll
Essential Question
What does Link Wray's biography say about how Native Americans lived in the first half of the 20th century, and what role did Wray's upbringing have on his music?
Download student-facing Distance Learning Pack for this lesson.
In this lesson, students watch clips from RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked The World and explore Link Wray's position as an influence on later Hard Rock and Heavy Metal musicians. Students will investigate the history of the Shawnee Tribe, and use Wray as a case study to consider what life might have been like for a Shawnee in the American South during the early 20th Century. Finally, students debate ways Wray's early life might have contributed to his future musical achievements, and find common themes between the song "Rumble" and the poem Nationhood by Laura 'Da.
Many would argue that Rock and Roll has historically been the music of rule breakers. It turns out that Rock and Roll is also the music of guitar amp breakers. Beginning in 1953 with guitarist Willie Kizart's crackling part on Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats' "Rocket 88," which was performed on a "broken" guitar amp, many guitarists in the emerging genre of Rock and Roll sought to overdrive and distort their sound. The Rolling Stones' Keith Richards used a hi-tech new "fuzzbox" to achieve the menacing distortion heard on the 1965 hit "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." And, like many young guitarists did at the time, The Kinks' Dave Davies slit the speaker cones on his amp to get the fuzzy tone of the 1964 hit, "You Really Got Me." However, it likely wasn't another British rocker, or even Kizart that Richards and Davies were emulating. It was Link Wray, a Native American from rural North Carolina.
In January 1958, brothers Link, Doug, and Vernon Wray were performing as the house band in Fredericksburg, Virginia for a record hop organized by local DJ and TV personality Milt Grant. Shortly into the show, audience members requested the band play "The Stroll," a song released a month earlier by The Diamonds. Link, the group's guitar player, had spent much of the previous year in the hospital recovering from tuberculosis, and didn't know "The Stroll." Doug, the drummer, counted the song off anyway. Link had no choice but to play something. That something, which they named "Rumble," was mostly three chords and a riff, sustained above Doug Wray's lumbering 12/8 beat by the crunchy tone of Link Wray's deliberately slashed speakers.
"It changed everything," says Robbie Robertson in the film Rumble: The Indians who Rocked the World, "'Rumble' made an indelible mark on the whole evolution of where Rock and Roll was going to go." Wray's guitar part, simple to the ears of many, encapsulated the powerfully defiant attitude that would become a defining characteristic of future Rock subgenres such as Hard Rock, Punk, and Heavy Metal. Both Pete Townshend of The Who and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page cite "Rumble" as a defining influence. Vocalist Iggy Pop remembers, "'Rumble' had the power to push me over the edge…it helped me say, 'I'm going to be a musician.'" Pop wasn't the only person who felt "Rumble," an instrumental, might push one "over the edge." Fearing that "Rumble" could inspire juvenile delinquency, it was banned by several radio stations, even in major cities such as Boston and New York. Though the song is over 60 years old, "Rumble" continues to evoke strong feelings in many, and it has been placed in films and TV Shows such as Pulp Fiction, Independence Day, and The Sopranos.
Some suggest the raw emotional power of "Rumble" is a musical reflection on the Wrays' tumultuous childhoods. The Wray brothers were born in Dunn, North Carolina, to a Shawnee mother. "While Elvis grew up white-man poor," Link often said, comparing himself to one of his idols, "I grew up Shawnee poor." His mother was crippled by racist violence she experienced as a child, his father shellshocked by his experience as a soldier World War I. As a child, Link sometimes hid with his brothers under their beds as the Ku Klux Klan terrorized their segregated neighborhood. But at the same time, Link's childhood in Dunn positively contributed to his musical development. His mother, a street preacher, instilled in him a love of song, and a local blues musician known as Hambone gave him his first guitar lessons. As filmmaker Antonino D'Ambrosio suggests in RUMBLE, these musical influences might have allowed Wray to take his difficult past and translate it in proactive ways.

Upon completion of this lesson, students will:
 1. Know (knowledge):
 - How racism affected Native Americans in the mid 20th century
 - A basic history of the Shawnee tribe
 - About Shawnee-U.S. Government interactions under Presidents Jefferson and Jackson
 - About the Shawnee role in the War of 1812
 - About The Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears
 - How segregating communities resulted in tight family units and the transmission of culture among different minority communities
 - The effects wars can have on American veterans
 - Connections between poverty and health in the United States
 - The role faith and religion played in Link Wray's development
 - The extent to which a musician's personal life might influence their music
 - Connections between Link Wray's "Rumble" to the poem Nationhood by Laura Da'
 2. Mastery Objective:
 - By examining videos and autobiographical accounts of Link Wray's early life students will be able to imagine what life for a Shawnee person might have been like in the first half of the 20th Century, and how such an experience might have impacted Wray's music.
Motivational Activity:
 1. Tell students that they will begin with a free writing exercise. Ask students to choose a musician, actor, athlete, or other public figure, and to consider how what they know about that person's upbringing might have contributed to their current career. If students do not know much about the biographies of their choices, encourage them to write creatively and imagine what that person's young life might have been like. Then, ask students to volunteer to share their responses.
 2. Ask the class:
 - In what ways do you think a person's childhood might affect their future?
 1. Explain to students that in this lesson they will be learning about Link Wray, half-Shawnee Native American from North Carolina who was a major influence on Rock, Hard Rock, Punk, and Metal guitarists. Play Clip 1, "The Birth of Rumble." Ask students:
 - What is it about the guitar sound of "Rumble" that seems to have influenced so many guitarists, including those interviewed in this clip?
 - How would you compare the guitar playing on "Rumble" with the early footage of Wray that opens Clip 1? (Consider replaying the first few moments of Clip 1 if necessary).
 - How might you describe the sound of "Rumble"? How might you describe Wray's demeanor on stage in Clip 1? What about this might have influenced young musicians in the late 1950s?
 - Though it is an instrumental song, "Rumble" was banned on many radio stations, including those in major cities such as New York and Boston. What about the song do you think some found so threatening? (Note to teacher: The song title, "Rumble," was thought to reference gang fighting–West Side Story was popular at the time–and many thought the sound might "contribute to juvenile delinquency")
 2. Tell students that you will now consider how the "distorted" sound of guitar was developed, and what it might have represented to some at the time. Play Clip 2, "Soundbreaking – The Development of the Fuzz Tone,"and ask students:
 - How do the musicians in this clip describe the sound of the guitar? What are some of the terms they use to describe this unique sound?
 - Can you think of a song you like that has a distorted guitar?
 - Why might a guitar that sounds "distorted," "aggressive," like a "monster" or a "villain" be a desired quality for musicians?
 - (Optional: ask students if there are any guitar players in the class, and if they use distortion on their guitar, and why.)
 - When do you think this sound might have first been created? Do you think it happened before the creation of the fuzz pedal mentioned in the clip?
 - Note to teacher: If you would like students to have a hands-on experience with guitar effects, try the TeachRock Guitar Effects TechTool
 3. Tell students that to consider Link Wray's early life in North Carolina as a Shawnee, they will first explore Shawnee history. Distribute Handout 1 – "The Shawnee," and read it aloud as a class. Then ask:
 - Where do you think the Wray ancestors fit in among the Shawnee who grappled with the limited options they faced throughout the early 19th century? (Encourage students to recognize that because they remained on the East Coast, Wray's ancestors

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QDCA) hold great potential to produce the next generation of computer hardware, but their development is hindered by computationally intensive simulations. Our research therefore focuses on rewriting one such simulation to run parallel calculations on a graphics processing unit (GPU). We have decreased execution time from 33 hours 11 minutes to 1 hour 39 minutes, but current progress has shown that further gains are possible. The calculation of eigenvectors holds particular promise for acceleration. Our research has two components: testing MATLAB's algorithm for these calculations and creating a C-based algorithm to improve on MATLAB's execution time. MATLAB requires 0.2352 +/- 0.0074 seconds to execute this function, while our function requires 0.0674 +/- 0.0143 seconds. Further, our function's iterative and many-threaded nature makes it ideal for parallel implementation in the CUDA language, which is expected to further increase execution speed. At the time of this writing, implementation is ongoing. Our presentation shall focus on our functions' efficiency increases over their MATLAB counterparts, and the application of GPUs' immense computational power to QDCA device simulation.

The Fodder Experiment
Adequate year-round supply of fodder is one of the biggest problems faced by livestock keepers in developing countries. While the underlying reasons for this may be different, the fact remains that access to fodder ranks alongside animal health as key to success.
The Fodder Innovation Project (FIP) project deals with the central questions emerging from recent efforts to use the innovation systems concept to address some of the shortcomings of commonly-used agricultural research practices. Namely: How can the capacity to innovate be strengthened in different rural settings? The project focuses on fodder, as this is a key constraint in almost all of the production systems important to livestock-dependent poor people. The point of departure for the project is the idea that technology is not the primary limitation in dealing with the fodder problem. Rather the key issue is about how to mobilise and utilise the different technologies and pieces of information needed to make use of existing and new technology, ideas and resources. The project is addressing this through a series of action research experiments in India and Nigeria.
This project is being conducted in collaboration with the International Livestock Policy Institute (ILRI) and other partners. The project is funded by the UK's Department for International Development (DFID).Approach
The Fodder Innovation Project has been exploring whether the long-standing problem of fodder scarcity in India and Nigeria could be tackled by focusing on innovation capacity development rather than technology development. The project, which draws inspiration from innovation systems ideas, aims to understand how to strengthen the networks and processes in different locations that lead to innovation, and what the outcomes of doing so might be.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment on Preterms
samedi 6 février 2016 par Nicolas Berthon
Abstract
Background
Despite some preliminary evidence, it is still largely unknown whether osteopathic manipulative treatment improves preterm clinical outcomes.
Materials and Methods
The present multi-center randomized single blind parallel group clinical trial enrolled newborns who met the criteria for gestational age between 29 and 37 weeks, without any congenital complication from 3 different public neonatal intensive care units. Preterm infants were randomly assigned to usual prenatal care (control group) or osteopathic manipulative treatment (study group). The primary outcome was the mean difference in length of hospital stay between groups.
Results
A total of 695 newborns were randomly assigned to either the study group (n= 352) or the control group (n=343). A statistical significant difference was observed between the two groups for the primary outcome (13.8 and 17.5 days for the study and control group respectively, p<0.001, effect size : 0.31). Multivariate analysis showed a reduction of the length of stay of 3.9 days (95% CI -5.5 to -2.3, p<0.001). Furthermore, there were significant reductions with treatment as compared to usual care in cost (difference between study and control group : 1,586.01€ ; 95% CI 1,087.18 to 6,277.28 ; p<0.001) but not in daily weight gain. There were no complications associated to the intervention.
Conclusions
Osteopathic treatment reduced significantly the number of days of hospitalization and is cost-effective on a large cohort of preterm infants.

The Struggle with the Angel: A Poetics of Lloyd Newson's Strange Fish (DV8 Physical Theatre)
From the book: "Theoretically and methodologically, this text offers a contribution to the development of interpretive theory in the arts and to the analysis of performance practices."Topical, conceptual, and methological problems are explored through an extended analysis of "Strange Fish" (1992) by Lloyd Newson and the DV8 Physical Theatre (UK) "...I ask how it comments on and reconstructs 'the story' of Christ. It uses well-known moments and images from the story of his life and draws on the morality found in biblical tales....In ironic contrast, it challenges Christian views of morality at a time of discomfort for the Church. Evidence emerges of explicit homosexuality, of child abuse, and the fathering of illegitimate children. This evidence invites the view that theological attacks on different forms of sexuality are mendacious and dishonest."

G Omotoso, A Oyewopo, R Kadir, S Olawuyi, A Jimoh. Effects Of Aqueous Extract Of Allium Sativum (Garlic) On Semen Parameters In Wistar Rats.. The Internet Journal of Urology. 2009 Volume 7 Number 2.
Garlic has been in use worldwide since ages, especially as food and for its health benefits. However, concern has been raised on its untoward effects on male reproductive functions. The present study examined the effects of aqueous garlic extract on some semen parameters and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase in Wistar rats. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were grouped into 3, and aqueous extract of garlic was administered orally at different doses (Group B: 500 mg/kg/d; Group C: 1000 mg/kg/d) to the 2 treated groups, and distilled water given to the control group (Group A), for 28 days. Sperm concentration, motility and morphology were studied, and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was measured. The results of the semen analysis revealed reduction in all the parameters, which was dose-dependent. The percentage of morphologically normal spermatozoa was significantly reduced, as well as sperm concentration, compared with findings in the control animals. Garlic also caused a significant reduction in SOD activity in the blood, and this was dose-dependent, as the least activity was recorded among the high dose group. As people desire to enjoy the maximum beneficial health effects of garlic, its potential to adversely affect the reproductive functions, especially at higher doses, should be borne in mind.
In the present study, the effect of orally administered aqueous extract of
Materials and Methods
Preparation of Garlic Aqueous Extract
The raw garlic plants were collected from Ilorin, Kwara State and authenticated at the Department of Plant Biology, University of Ilorin, Nigeria. The raw garlic cloves were peeled, chopped into small pieces and blended. It was then dissolved in distilled water and kept in the Refrigerator for 12 hours. The solution was thereafter filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated in a water bath at a temperature of 40oC, into the paste form, from which the required dosages (500 mg/kg/d and 1000 mg/kg/d) were prepared.
The experiments were performed in conformity with the Rules and Guidelines of the Animal Ethics Committee of the University of Ilorin.
Experimental Pharmacological Protocol
Twenty-four (24) rats with an average weight of about 116 g were randomly grouped into 3 classes as follows:
Group A:- Control Group given distilled water.
Group B:- Treated Group with aqueous extract of garlic in a dose of 500 mg/kg/d.
Group C:- Treated Group with aqueous extract of garlic in a dose of 1000 mg/kg/d.
Using a feeding tube (size-6), distilled water and aqueous garlic extracts were administered to the control and treated animals respectively for a period of 28 days.
Animal Sacrifice and Sample Collection
Twenty-four hours (24 h) after the last day of administration, the animals were weighed and thereafter sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Blood samples of animals were collected into lithium heparinized bottles. Using a midline abdominal incision, the abdominal cavity was opened to access the reproductive organs. The testes were excised and weighed using an electronic sensitive analytical balance (Gallenkomp FA 2104A).
Assay of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Activity
Estimation of superoxide oxidase (SOD) in the blood was based on the method described by Mistra and Fridovish15, using chemical reagents kit produced by Randox Laboratories Limited (UK). Samples were measured spectrophotometrically at 30 sec interval for 3 min, and the data expressed as IU/ml.
Epididymal Sperm Concentration
A modified method of Yokoi and Mayi16 was adopted in counting the spermatozoa from the right epididymis. The epididymis was minced with anatomic scizzors in 5 ml of normal saline, placed in a rocker for 10 min and allowed to incubate at room temperature for 2 min. After incubation, the supernatant was diluted at 1:100 with a solution containing 5 g sodium bicarbonate and 1 ml formalin (35%). The new improved Neuber's counting chamber (haemocytometer) was used in counting the total number of spermatozoa. About 10 ml of the diluted sperm suspension was transferred to each counting chamber of the haemocytometer and was allowed to stand for 5 min, and thereafter observed under a binocular light microscope.
The fluid from the caudal epididymis was diluted with Tris buffer solution17 to 0.5 ml. An aliquot of this solution was observed under the light microscope at a magnification of x400. The mean motility estimation was reported as the final motility score for each sample.
The morphology of the spermatozoa was determined using the original dilution for motility, diluted 1:20 with 10% neutral buffered formalin (Sigma-Aldrich, Oakville, ON, Canada). The sperm cells were categorised based on the presence of one or more abnormal features such as tail defects (short, irregular, coiled or multiple tails); neck and middle piece defects (distended, irregular, bent middle piece, abnormally thin middle piece); and head defects (round head, small or large size, double or detached head). Findings were expressed as percentage of morphologically normal sperm18.
Data were analysed statistically by application of student's t-test, using the SPSS version 15 software, presented as mean and standard error mean (SEM), and values of p <0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.
There were no statistically significant changes in the body weight difference of the experimental animals in all the groups, and the ratio of the testis weight to that of the body weight of each animal (Table 1:p>0.05). Semen parameters in all the treatment groups (Groups B and C) decreased when compared with the control group. Only a minimal decrease was observed in the percentage sperm motility of the treated groups, and in the percentage of morphologically normal spermatozoa of the low dose group (Table 2). The percentage of normal spermatozoa was markedly reduced in the animals exposed to 1000 mg/kg/d (high dose) of garlic (69.00 ± 1.22) compared with animals that received a lower dose of 500 mg/kg/d (85.50 ±1.66) and the control animals (86.25 ± 1.75) given distilled water. There was a decrease in sperm motility in the treatment groups (Control: 92.17±0.66; Low dose group: 90.87±0.76; High dose group:90.27±1.13), but this was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Sperm concentration decreased in the treated groups with the animals treated with 1000 mg/kg/d aqueous garlic extract having the lowest value (63.85 ± 3.03) compared with those that received 500 mg/kg/d of the extract (65.35 ± 3.13) and the control group (72.15 ±0.74) that received distilled water. Superoxide dismutase enzyme was markedly reduced in the low dose group (279.75 ± 05.02 IU/ml; p<0.05) compared with the control animals (490.00 ± 20.10 IU/ml), with a much more decreased activity in the group that received a higher dose of 1000 mg/kg/d (188.00 ± 09.82 IU/ml; p<0.05).
The effects of garlic on male gonads, and by extension, the male reproductive function, may appear somewhat different from the usual cytoprotective activities observed by various workers in other tissues and organs of the body19,3; although, the amount of garlic administered, to some extent, could be a factor12. Administration of garlic augments the activities of SOD and also protects the cells against the damaging effects of free radicals, as given by some biochemical and histopathological evidences3. However, on the testes, use of garlic has been noted to compromise some male reproductive functions, as it affects spermatogenesis and testosterone levels, which are vital to reproduction11.
Both at a lower and higher doses of garlic extract, the activity of SOD was noted in this study to decrease with increasing dosage. The endogenous antioxidative functions of the enzyme was compromised, thereby predisposing the cells of the testes to the detrimental effects of various oxygen radicals and other chemically-induced oxidative stress. In this study, both the percentage morphology and sperm count were significantly reduced, although sperm motility was only slightly reduced. Irrespective of the motility, in the event of increasing number of abnormal spermatozoa morphologically, spermatogenesis and other reproductive capability of an intact spermatozoon, could still be compromised. This is because previous studies have shown that use of

It is practically impossible to give a universal answer to this question, because it depends on so many variables. The difference in gains in raw material utilization certainly depends on the quality of the cutting plans that were previously made, without the help of the program.
Another thing that can be said without fear of being wrong: the bigger projects, with more parts, and/or more complex, with many different parts, are the most favored, because they are the most subject to human error.
In any case, experts estimate that, on average, the gain can go well beyond 30%. Even in a more timid projection, of 10%, the final gains are quite representative, as shown in the example below.
Let's consider the savings for a Corte Certo customer who produces a thousand pieces a week, each piece measuring 1m² on average. In short, it produces 1000 m² per week.
- Without the optimizer: average utilization of 80%. Therefore, 1250m² of sheets are needed to produce the thousand pieces.
- With the optimizer: average utilization can go up to 90% or more. That is, approximately 1100m² of sheets will be needed to produce the parts.
To check what the gain was, just calculate the difference in sheets used in both cases (in the example above, 150m² per week) and multiply by the price per square meter.
This material savings usually pays for the investment in the cutting optimizer in a few months, or even a few days. There are cases of customers who pay in a single calculation. It all depends on the number of pieces cut and the price of the material used. And, in any case, saving on raw materials is just one of the benefits that Corte Certo brings. Read about it in the answer to the next question.

Since they are typically observed hiding in dark crevices while opening and closing their mouths in an apparently menacing gesture, it isn't surprising that moray eels get a bad reputation. The fact that their sharp teeth face backward (causing severe damage to anyone trying to pull their hand out of a moray's mouth) doesn't help this reputation, and neither does the recent discovery that morays have a second set of "Alien"-like jaws that drags prey deep into their mouth and throat. The truth isn't quite so simple. Most people know very little about these amazing animals.
The green moray (pictured above) is the most famous member of this group, but there are more than 200 species in the family Muraenidae. Green morays are not even really green (a yellow mucus deposited on a dark body creates the illusion of green skin). Snyder's morays are less than a foot long when full grown, while giant slender morays can reach lengths of over 10 feet. Morays live in an impressive variety of habitats, including temperate and tropical seas, depths of several hundred meters, and even freshwater.

Consider a deck of 50 playing cards (2 cards missing). What is the probability that one of them is red and the other one is black? I've got two solutions which one is correct?
Let $R$ represent red card and $B$ black.
$\therefore$ sample space = $\{RR, BB, RB, BR\}$
favorable outcomes = $\{RB, BR\}$
Probability = ${2 \over 4}=0.5$
But $BR$ is same as $RB$,
$\therefore$ sample space = $\{RR, BB, RB\}$
favorable outcomes = $\{RB\}$
$\therefore$ probability should be $1 \over 3$.
Which one is correct.
I think it should be $1 \over 3$. Because $BR$ should be taken same as $RB$ but when we talk about two coins being flipped and the probability of both of them showing head is $1 \over 4$, right? Here sample space becomes $\{HH, TT, TH, HT\}$. So why both $HT$ and $TH$ is taken?
My question is while calculating probability, when do we include or exclude same combinations? Like $RB, BR$ or $HT, TH$...

I'm assuming you pick one card, look at it, replace it, shuffle, pick another card. Then the probability that the two cards have different colours is $\frac{1}{2}$.
If $N$ is the number of elements in the sample space, then $\frac{1}{N}$ is the probability of an outcome only if all outcomes are equally likely.
In your second set {RR,BB,RB}, RB is twice as likely to occur as RR (and RR is as likely to occur as RB).
Look at it another way. You could call your sample set {both same colour, one of each colour}. The event {both same colour} is made up of outcomes RR and BB. The event {one of each colour} is made up of outcomes RB and BR.

One considers a deck of N red cards and N black cards. One draws two cards from this deck, without replacement. One is asking for the probability p(N) that the second card drawn from the deck has a different color than the first card drawn.
After the first card is drawn, there remains 2N-1 cards in the deck and amongst those, N cards have a color different than the color of the first card drawn. Hence p(N) = N/(2N-1).
In particular, p(26) = 26/51, which is just below 51%.

When you create a Microsoft SQL Server database, you must configure it correctly to support vSphere Replication.
About this task
You use SQL Server Management Studio to create and configure an SQL Server database for vSphere Replication.
This information provides the general steps that you must perform to configure an SQL Server database for vSphere Replication. For instructions about how to perform the relevant steps, see the SQL Server documentation.
Verify that the SQL Server Browser service is running.
- Select Mixed Mode Authentication when you create the database instance.
The vSphere Replication appliance and the database server run on different hosts, so you must use mixed mode authentication and not Windows Authentication.
- Use either a named instance or the default instance of SQL Server.
If you intend to use dynamic TCP ports, you must use a named instance of SQL Server.
- Enable TCP on the database instance.
- Set a TCP port.
Static TCP port
Set the TCP port to the default of 1433.
Dynamic TCP port
Use a named instance of SQL Server. You can only use dynamic ports with a named instance of SQL Server.
Select the Show DB URL check box in the virtual appliance management interface (VAMI) of the vSphere Replication appliance.
Modify the DB URL value. Replace port=port_number with instanceName=instance_name in the URL.
Use the PortQuery command from a remote machine to check that the port on which the SQL Server Browser service runs is not blocked by a firewall. The SQL Server Browser runs on port 1434. Type the PortQuery command in a terminal window.
PortQry.exe -n Machine_Name -p UDP -e 1434
- Verify that the firewall on the database server permits inbound connections on the TCP port.
- Create the vSphere Replication security login.
- Create the vSphere Replication database and set the vSphere Replication security login as the database owner.
- Keep the dbo user and dbo schema settings.
Because the vSphere Replication security login is the database owner, it maps to the database user dbo and uses the dbo schema.

ABSTRACT
Resina Draconis, a rare and precious traditional medicine in China, is known as the "holy medicine for promoting blood circulation". According to the national drug standard, it's derived from the resin extracted from the wood of Dracaena cochinchinensis, a Liliaceae plant. In addition, a variety of Dracaena species all over the world can form red resins, and there is currently no molecular identification method that can efficiently identify the origin of Dracaena medicinal materials. In this study, seven species of Dracaena distributed in China were selected as the research objects. Four commonly used DNA barcodes(ITS2, matK, rbcL and psbA-trnH), and four highly variable regions(trnP-psaJ, psbK-psbI, trnT-trnL, clpP) in chloroplast genome were used to evaluate the identification efficiency of Dracaena species. The results showed that clpP sequence fragment could accurately identify seven species of Dracaena plants. However, due to the long sequence of clpP fragment, there were potential problems in the practical application process. We found that the combined fragment "psbK-psbI+ trnP-psaJ" can also be used for accurate molecular identification of the Resina Draconis origin plants and relative species of Dracaena, which were both relatively short sequences in the combined fragment, showing high success rates of amplification and sequencing. Therefore, the "psbK-psbI+ trnP-psaJ" combined fragment can be used as the DNA barcode fragments for molecular identification of Resina Dracon's origin plants and relative species of Dracaena. Research on the identification of Dracaena species, the results of this study can be used to accurately identify the original material of Resina Draconis, and providing effective means for identification, rational development and application of Resina Draconis base source.

ABSTRACT
Professor -'s clinical experience of treating alopecia areata with combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs based on theory was summarized. Professor divides alopecia areata into disease and disease. Alopecia areata belonging to disease locates on the skin and is related to the lung and kidney, and belonging to disease locates in the meridians and is related to the heart, spleen and stomach. Acupuncture is chosen when the disease locates in the skin and meridians. If both viscera and meridians suffered, acupuncture and Chinese herbs should be combined. As for the acupuncture, professor used the method of harmonizing needling to treat alopecia areata, which includes regulating the origin of , regulating the deficiency and excess of and regulating the operation of local . As for the Chinese herbs, disease can be washed out by Chinese herbs of relieving exterior wind and activating meridians and collaterals. The disease can be washed out by Chinese herbs in mild condition, and long course of disease can be given Guizhi decoction as the base, add or subtract according to syndrome.

ABSTRACT
In December 2019, an outbreak of viral pneumonia began in Wuhan, Hubei Province, which caused the spread of infectious pneumonia to a certain extent in China and neighboring countries and regions, and triggered the epidemic crisis. The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) is an acute respiratory infectious disease listed as a B infectious disease, which is managed according to standards for A infectious disease. Traditional Chinese medicine and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine have played an active role in the prevention and control of this epidemic. China's ethnomedicine has recognized infectious diseases since ancient times, and formed a medical system including theory, therapies, formula and herbal medicines for such diseases. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, Tibet Autonomous Region, Qinghai Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Chuxiong Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan, Qiandongnan Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou have issued the prevention and control programs for COVID-19 using Tibetan, Mongolian, Uygur, Yi and Miao medicines. These programs reflect the wisdom of ethnomedicine in preventing and treating diseases, which have successfully extracted prescriptions and preventive measures for the outbreak of the epidemic from their own medical theories and traditional experiences. In this paper, we summarized and explained the prescriptions and medicinal materials of ethnomedicine in these programs, and the origin of Tibetan medicine prescriptions and Mongolian medicine prescriptions in ancient books were studied. These become the common characteristics of medical prevention and treatment programs for ethnomedicine to formulate therapeutic programs under the guidance of traditional medicine theories, recommend prescriptions and prevention and treatment methods with characteristics of ethnomedicine, and focus on the conve-nience and standardization. However, strengthening the support of science and technology and the popularization to the public, and improving the participation of ethnomedicine in national public health services and the capacity-building to deal with sudden and critical diseases are key contents in the development of ethnomedicine in the future.

ABSTRACT
To ensure the safety of medications, it is vital to accurately authenticate species of the Apocynaceae family, which is rich in poisonous medicinal plants. We identified Apocynaceae species by using nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and psbA-trnH based on experimental data. The identification ability of ITS2 and psbA-trnH was assessed using specific genetic divergence, BLAST1, and neighbor-joining trees. For DNA barcoding, ITS2 and psbA-trnH regions of 122 plant samples of 31 species from 19 genera in the Apocynaceae family were amplified. The PCR amplification for ITS2 and psbA-trnH sequences was 100%. The sequencing success rates for ITS2 and psbA-trnH sequences were 81% and 61%, respectively. Additional data involved 53 sequences of the ITS2 region and 38 sequences of the psbA-trnH region were downloaded from GenBank. Moreover, the analysis showed that the inter-specific divergence of Apocynaceae species was greater than its intra-specific variations. The results indicated that, using the BLAST1 method, ITS2 showed a high identification efficiency of 97% and 100% of the samples at the species and genus levels, respectively, via BLAST1, and psbA-trnH successfully identified 95% and 100% of the samples at the species and genus levels, respectively. The barcode combination of ITS2/psbA-trnH successfully identified 98% and 100% of samples at the species and genus levels, respectively. Subsequently, the neighbor joining tree method also showed that barcode ITS2 and psbA-trnH could distinguish among the species within the Apocynaceae family. ITS2 is a core barcode and psbA-trnH is a supplementary barcode for identifying species in the Apocynaceae family. These results will help to improve DNA barcoding reference databases for herbal drugs and other herbal raw materials.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: With the wide application of the proximal closing wedge osteotomy in treatment of hallux valgus deformity, the metatarsal shortening and metatarsal elevation are constantly being mentioned. Scholars even think that the operation is complicated, the technical requirements are high, and the incidence of complications is high, and other osteotomy should be used instead. However, through literature research and clinical experience, it is found that the facts are not completely the case. OBJECTIVE: To perform geometric study of the plane and the physical model of the proximal closing wedge osteotomy so as to reasonably evaluate the effect of this technique on metatarsal shortening and metatarsal elevation. METHODS: The research was divided into four stages, in which the first three stages were plane geometric researches, with weight-bearing frontal image of the patient with hallux valgus as the research materials; the fourth one was solid geometric research, with plaster model of the first metatarsal bone as the research material. In research I (Stage I), the changes in 1/2 inter-metatarsal angle, length of the first metatarsal and distal metatarsal articular angle were learnt through angle adjustment after clipping when the distance from the wedge osteotomy vertex to medial border of the first tarsometatarsal joint was different (B, A, C, D respectively from the near to the distant, with a distance of 10 mm). In research II (Stage II), the changes in 1/2 inter-metatarsal angle, length of the first metatar

Erector-like sets have a tremendous educational value. They help to gain spatial understanding and to learn by experimenting about strength and stability of constructions. Many of the people we know with a mechanical mind set, able to design and construct objects and machines have learned this by play with an erector set.
It is obvious that having the chance to play with Meccano in one's youth helps a lot in solving technical problems when older. A drawback of the Meccano or Lego construction parts is the scale. What can be constructed with it is never more then a model of something that is normally larger in scale. If what can be constructed has a size and a sturdiness, in which it can perform a realistic function as a hut or a cart, it may help to develop a childs ability to take initiative. This would also integrate playing with construction materials in other games in which a child is involved with mates.
Thin, straight sticks are interconnected when they are stuck into holes drilled into blocks and fastened with wedges of a special design. These provide a sturdy connection although they can be placed and removed by hand. Disks can turn around the sticks. Cart and cots in any shape can so be made by a kid.
These sticks can be interconnected either flexible, or free to rotate or stiff and sturdy with construction elements that children can easily handle. Such construction elements can be blocks of wood in which sticks can be fastened with wedges or rubber strips for flexible joints. Bushes that can act as bearings for parts that turn can also be attached to such flexible rubber strips or blocks. Fastening of the parts is done in a way it can be done by children without tools. Cart and cots in any shape can so be made by a kid.


The Power Tool
 - Working out your own salvation diligently
By turning attention to the voices that takeover our lives, we can see the causes of suffering, and by bringing that suffering into the light of our inherent kindness and wisdom, we are freed from it. That is the process of using awareness practice to wake up and end suffering. We accomplish this in part through conscious mentoring.
The Mentor is the centered awareness that allows us to observe and acknowledge conditioning without indulging in a self-hating reaction to it.
We become our own Mentor when we practice loving acceptance of whatever we discover in ourselves.
The Buddha taught that we each have one person to save: ourselves. We are told his final words were "You must work out your own salvation diligently." That can sound daunting until we understand what's involved in the process. What we are being guided to do is cease to identify with the ego-self, thereby recognizing our Authentic Nature, an expression of the Intelligence That Animates.
From that place of conscious, compassionate awareness, we embrace into unconditional love the incarnation that has believed itself to be a separate ego self.
The movement from being mentored to being the Mentor is "how" a person can "work out your own salvation diligently."
--Excerpted from What You Practice Is What You Have by Cheri Huber
The movement from being mentored to being the Mentor can be practiced through The Two-Handed Recording and Listening Exercise.
 - Here's how Two-Handed Recording works:
 1. Hold the recorder in your right hand and talk as you would to a close friend or a therapist. Without censoring, express what you are feeling. Say everything you ever wanted about what you are going through.
 2. Stop the recorder. Breathe. Sit with the experience. Then, holding the recorder in your left hand, listen to the recording, giving it your full attention. Really listen.
 3. Keeping the recorder in the left hand, record whatever comes up that could assist and comfort the person you just listened to.
 4. Listen to the recording you just made.

Postpartum depression is recognized as an important maternal and child health issue. Postpartum depression is the most common perinatal psychiatric disorder and one of the most common complications of childbirth. Studies show prevalence rates in women ranging from 10% to 25%. Postpartum depression affects the emotional wellbeing of mothers, infant behavior, mother-infant bonding, and marital relationships. However, the majority of women who experience postpartum depression do not seek care. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the demographic differences between women in Georgia who report symptoms of postpartum depression but do not seek care, versus women who report postpartum depression symptoms and seek care. Approximately 15% of respondents in this study reported postpartum depression. Of these women, approximately 80% did not seek care for their symptoms. This analysis found that women with the following characteristics were more likely to not seek care for depression: non-White and Hispanic women; women that were uninsured before their pregnancy; women that had their prenatal care paid for by Medicaid or the Military; and women who did not seek care for depression during their pregnancy. The results of this study may help to guide the implementation of public health interventions among postpartum women in Georgia.

Boarding the bus
When your 'buggy friendly' bus arrives, you should lean the buggy onto its rear wheels, move the buggy forward and lower the front wheels onto the bus. You can ask the driver to lower the step if you need to. Do not try to board when the step is lowering, as you could trap your buggy's wheels between the step and the kerb.
 1. Make sure your buggy is in the special 'buggy zone' on board
 2. Apply the brakes and keep hold of your buggy at all times
 3. Never leave your child or buggy unattended whilst on board
 4. Don't hang shopping or other bags on your buggy, it could overbalance
When getting off the bus
 1. Before attempting to get off the bus make sure that it is not in the process of kneeling. This is to prevent your buggy's wheels becoming trapped between the bus step and the kerb
 2. Lean your buggy back slightly on to its rear wheels and move forward until the rear wheels are at the edge of the step. Lower your buggy, keeping it as level as possible until the wheels make contact with the ground
 3. Remember, you can always ask the driver to lower the step for you
There is limited space for buggies on board our buses, this can vary depending on the bus, the number of buggies and the size of the buggies. If there are already buggies on board the driver may ask you to fold your buggy. Please help us make the trip safe for everyone and don't block the aisles or exits of the bus with your buggy.
Currently, not all of our buses are 'buggy friendly', in which case, you will need to fold your buggy and stow it in the luggage rack. Don't worry, the driver will give you time to do this.
When a wheelchair user needs to use the wheelchair space
Wheelchair users have priority over everyone else for the use of the designated wheelchair space, since this is the only place in which they can travel safely. Non-wheelchair users, unlike wheelchair users, will normally have a choice about which part of the bus to sit or stand in.
Common decency and respect for wheelchair users should mean that other passengers make way for them. Passengers are urged to offer cooperation in allowing proper use of the designated wheelchair area.
If the wheelchair space is occupied with a buggy, standing passengers or otherwise full, and there is space elsewhere in the vehicle, the driver will ask that it is made free for a wheelchair user. Where a pushchair or buggy is occupying the space, the driver will ask that it is repositioned, moved to another part of the bus or folded and stored in the luggage space, where available.

Sensor scan of a small space-dwelling lifeform
Native to the Delta Quadrant, this space-dwelling lifeform was a spaceborne species. They propelled themselves through space via flagellation much like protozoa and were capable of approaching speeds up to 3,000 kilometers per second.
Space-dwelling lifeforms traveled in lightly dense swarms consisting of fewer than two thousand organisms. Among them was at least one dominant organism, physiologically similar to the others but much larger. This larger lifeform attracted mates by emitting a stream of plasma, causing the smaller lifeforms to attach themselves to the larger lifeform. In the process, the smaller lifeforms rolled over and changed their color from a dark red to a bright blue to indicate submissiveness.
The larger lifeforms also used their ability to emit plasma as an aggressive tactic, particularly towards a sexual rival.
These lifeforms did not appear to have a digestive system; instead, they had an extremely porous outer covering which they used to absorb particles directly from space. In addition, they were capable of generating their own magnetic wake.
USS Voyager encountered a swarm of space-dwelling lifeforms in 2371. While observing the creatures, the starship was pulled into the swarm by its magnetic wake. Aboard Voyager, the electrophoretic levels created by the swarm caused Kes' metabolic activity to increase. As a result, the young Ocampa entered a premature elogium.
During Voyager's attempts to escape the swarm, the smaller lifeforms became sexually attracted to the starship's nacelle emissions and began attaching themselves to its hull. This was due to the fact that the vessel's subspace signature matched the plasma stream emitted by the larger, dominant lifeforms. Sensing a rivalry, one of the dominant lifeforms attacked Voyager. Determining the creatures' behaviors, the Voyager crew had the ship roll over and vent plasma residue to make the ship appear blue, signaling its submissiveness to the dominant creature. Voyager was then able to leave the swarm and continue on its journey towards the Alpha Quadrant. (VOY: "Elogium")

Two case studies in nineteenth century environmental history focus upon health as an issue central to understanding social organization. They explore the relationship between urban, industrial expansion, deteriorating environmental conditions and health. One study deals with assumption of responsibility for public health by the municipality of Pittsburgh. It focuses upon the relationship between public health and deteriorating urban environment in a burgeoning industrial city. The other is concerned with the response of coal miners to health and safety issues related to industrial expansion and technological developments in that industry.

How To Archive Files And Directories In Linux [Part 2]
By sk
Published: Last Updated on 2.3K views
In the previous guide, we learned how to archive files and directories using tar command in Linux. Now we are going to do the same, but using Zip an Unzip programs. The zip application is both an archiver and compression utility, so we can use it for archiving, compressing and decompressing files and directories in Linux and Unix-like operating systems. This zip application is compatible for windows and other OS zip application. However, gzip and bzip2 are the predominant compression applications. Now let us see how to archive files and directories in Linux using Zip program.
Archive Files And Directories In Linux Using Zip Program
The Zip program comes pre-installed with some Linux distros. Just in case if it is not available, you can install it using the distribution's default package manager.
On Arch Linux and variants:
$ sudo pacman -S zip unzip
On RHEL, CentOS, Fedora:
$ sudo yum install zip unzip
On Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint:
$ sudo apt-get install zip unzip
On SUSE/openSUSE:
$ sudo zypper install zip unzip
Now let us see some examples.
Creating a new archive
To archive a group of files into one, simply do:
$ zip file.zip file1 file2 file3
Sample output would be:
adding: file1 (stored 0%)
adding: file2 (stored 0%)
adding: file3 (stored 0%)
Here, we are create an archive named file.zip from file1, file2 and file3. You don't have to use the .zip extension at the end of the file name. I have added it for the sake of clarity.
Similarly, to create an archive of a a directory, run:
$ zip directory.zip ostechnix/
 adding: ostechnix/ (stored 0%)
Here, I have created an archive named directory.zip of the ostechnix folder. Please note that this only add the parent directory (i.e) to the archive. To archive all sub-directories recursively, use -r flag like below.
$ zip -r directory.zip ostechnix/
 adding: ostechnix/ (stored 0%)
 adding: ostechnix/file.txt (deflated 67%)
 adding: ostechnix/audio.mp3 (deflated 6%)
 adding: ostechnix/image.jpg (deflated 3%)
Unlike tar utility, the zip program creates archive and compresses it where possible. But tar is an archiver, not a compression tool.
Create an archive of multiple directories and/or files at a time
Sometimes, you may need to create an archive from a group of files and folders. To do so, run:
$ zip -r directory.zip ostechnix/ file1 file2 file3
 adding: example/ (stored 0%)
 adding: example/Stephen.jpg (deflated 3%)
 adding: file1 (stored 0%)
 adding: file2 (stored 0%)
 adding: file3 (stored 0%)
The above command create an archive named directory.zip from ostechnix directory and the group of files namely file2, file2, file3.
Now let me show you an another example.
$ zip directory.zip file4
 adding: file4 (stored 0%)
Did you notice? I have specified the existing archive, but zip program updated the contents of existing archive file without replacing them. So, if you specified an existing archive, it gets updated rather than replaced. To put this simply, the existing archive is preserved, the new file4 is added. This is a notable advantage of zip program over tar utility.
Extract archives
Extracting archives is as simple as creating archives. To extract an archive, simply do:
$ unzip directory.zip
Sample output would be:
 Archive: directory.zip
 creating: ostechnix/
 inflating: ostechnix/file.txt
 inflating: ostechnix/audio.mp3
 inflating: ostechnix/image.jpg
 extracting: file1
 extracting: file2
 extracting: file3
 extracting: file4
You can also selectively extract a specific file or folder from the directory. For example, the following command extracts file4 from the the archive directory.zip.
$ unzip directory.zip file4
 Archive: directory.zip
 extracting: file4
List contents of an archive without extracting it
To list the contents of an archive without actually extracting it, use -l flag.
$ unzip -l directory.zip
 Archive: directory.zip
 Length Date Time Name
--------- ---------- ----- ----
 0 2018-03-29 15:55 ostechnix/
 _PHONE_-11 12:16 ostechnix/file.txt
 _PHONE_ 2018-03-29 14:03 ostechnix/audio.mp3
 15240 2018-03-29 14:45 ostechnix/image.jpg
 5 2018-03-29 15:58 file1
 5 2018-03-29 15:58 file2
 5 2018-03-29 15:58 file3
 5 2018-03-29 16:37 file4
--------- -------
 _PHONE_ 8 files
This can be useful when you want to find and extract a specific file instead of extracting the whole archive.
Creating an encrypted archive
The another notable feature of zip command is it allows us to create an encrypted archive, so the users needs to enter the password in-order to extract or view the contents of the archive.
To create an encrypted archive, use -e flag.
$ zip -e -r directory.zip ostechnix/ file1 file2 file3 file4
Enter password:
Verify password:
 adding: ostechnix/ (stored 0%)
 adding: ostechnix/file.txt (deflated 67%)
 adding: ostechnix/audio.mp3 (deflated 6%)
 adding: ostechnix/image.jpg (deflated 3%)
 adding: file1 (stored 0%)
 adding: file2 (stored 0%)
 adding: file3 (stored 0%)
 adding: file4 (stored 0%
When extracting or viewing the contents of the archive, you need to enter the correct password.
$ unzip directory.zip
Archive: directory.zip
[directory.zip] ostechnix/file.txt password:
Create a multi-part archive
Sometimes, you may need to share an archive file over Internet and that archive file itself might be too big to send over Internet or LAN. In such cases, we can create multi-par small sized archives and send them over Internet.
To archive a directory into multiple smaller parts, for example 3 MB each, we do:
$ zip -r -s 3m archive.zip ostechnix/
This command will create archive files of size 3MB like archive.z01, archive.z02, archive.z03 .... and archive.zip. You need to send these files to the recipient. When extracting these archive files, all contents will be extracted in a single folder named ostechnix.
To split the archive in GB, use "g" like below:
$ zip -r -s 3g archive.zip ostechnix/
Create archives of other programs
Zip can accept standard input, so it is possible to create an archive of other programs. The following command pipes the output of "ls" command as input to zip command.
$ ls -l Documents/ | zip ls-documents.zip -
 adding: - (deflated 56%)
Remember here ls-documents.zip is the archive of "ls" command. So, It won't display the contents of the archive using -l switch.
Instead, you could view its contents using command:
$ unzip -p ls-documents.zip | less
Here, -p refers pipe.
Compress archives with compression rate
To Archive a directory and its contents with the highest level [9] of compression:
$ zip -r -9 archive.zip ostechnix/
Zip supports three compression levels as given below.
 - 1 – Fastest (Worst)
 - 9 – Slowest (Best or highest)
 - 6 – Default level
Exclude files or folders while creating archives
We can exclude unwanted files or sub-directories while creating an archive. To do so, use -x flag like below:
$ zip -r directory.zip ostechnix/ -x ostechnix/image.jpg
The above command will create an archive of ostechnix directory, but exclude image.jpg file from the archive.
You can verify the contents without extracting the archive file using the following command.
$ unzip -l directory.zip
Delete files from an existing archive
You might forgot to exclude some unwanted stuffs while creating archives. No worries! You can delete those files even after creating the archive.
To delete the unwanted files from an existing archive, use -d flag as shown below.
$ zip -d directory

How Many Piano Tuners Are There in Chicago?
Renowned physicist Enrico Fermi's name is synonymous with a type of estimation problem often illustrated by the classic question, "How many piano tuners are there in Chicago?" Finding a "Fermi estimate" of this number would typically involve multiplying a series of rough estimates, such as the population of Chicago, an approximate number of households owning pianos, the frequency with which a typical piano might be tuned, and so on. It's unlikely that anyone would arrive at a precise, correct answer through this method, but a Fermi estimate should at least be able to generate an answer that is approximately the right order of magnitude.
A Fermi estimate usually seeks to measure a quantity that would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to actually measure. "Piano tuners in Chicago" may have fallen into that category several decades ago, but as Wolfram|Alpha can now demonstrate, things have changed:
We recently overhauled our data on jobs and salaries in the United States, adding Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data on more than 800 detailed occupations at the national, state, and metropolitan area levels. Which means Wolfram|Alpha can't quite get you to an exact measurement of the number of piano tuners in Chicago (and presumably, many of them must at least dabble in other instruments), but it can come surprisingly close.
Wolfram|Alpha can also compute a number of interesting statistics that aren't obvious from the source data, such as the fact that Chicago has quite a high density of musical instrument tuners and repairers—roughly 2.3 times the national average workforce fraction for this occupation—and that their median wage is roughly 1.3 times the national average. And it can also provide helpful context for any occupation, computing employment and wage information for related jobs and sub-specialties, according to BLS classifications.
You can also perform all kinds of interesting comparisons, of course: try asking Wolfram|Alpha to "compare producers and actors employment in California", for example, or "garbage collectors vs waiters salaries in New York City". Or if you're contemplating a cross-country move, you might be interested to see a comparison between "computer programmers salaries in Seattle vs Philadelphia".
And if you need to access salary and job-related data often, you can create your own Wolfram|Alpha Widgets tailored for specific jobs and regions. You can easily customize widgets, like the one below, and embed them in your website and share with your social networks.


Structure and kinematics of the Livingstone Mountains border fault zone, Nyasa (Malawi) Rift, southwestern Tanzania

Abstract
Reconnaissance mapping of the Livingstone Mountains border fault zone (LMBFZ) at the northern end of the Nyasa (Malawi) Rift in SW Tanzania constrains the geometry and movement history of this typical rift border fault. The fault is a narrow zone of complex brittle deformation, striking 320°, that overprints and reactivates an older ductile shear zone. Long, straight, NW-trending border fault segments are offset by minor NE-trending faults. These two orthogonal fault sets integrate along strike to produce an overall curved fault trace that is concave towards a major depositional basin in the rift. A typical section through the fault zone shows an E to W progression from gneissic country rock through ductilely deformed country rock, into a zone overprinted by closely spaced fractures and grading into an intensely fractured, massive, flinty, aphanitic mylonite band at the lakeshore. Pseudotachylite veins, probably generated during seismic movement on the border fault, are common within and near the aphanitic mylonite. Slickensides indicate dextral oblique-slip, whereas shear belts and rolled porphyroclasts with complex tails in the older ductile shear zone indicate sub-horizontal sinistral motion. The adjacent rift basin is typical of other East African Rift Basins, and contains at least 4 km of Recent to perhaps Mesozoic sediment. Whereas the minimum net slip on the LMBFZ, in the dominant slickenside direction, is on the order of 10 km, regional geologic considerations suggest that dominantly strike-slip motion preceded the oblique-slip phase that produced the LMBFZ and the adjacent rift basin.
