A Baseline Water Resource Assessment for a Proposed Lignite Mine Kemper/Lauderdale Counties, Mississippi
Sellers, Cale Bradley
AdvisorSchmitz, Darrel W.
Dewey, Christopher P.
A water characteristic and hydrogeologic study was conducted at the site of a proposed lignite mine in Kemper and Lauderdale Counties, Mississippi. The goal of the project was to collect background information on the conditions of subsurface and surface water resources, prior to the development of the proposed mine. Every water well, spring, stream, and pond within the project area was sampled, tested for specific variables, and analyzed. Measurements of pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and specific conductivity were collected. Subsurface water levels were measured at accessible water wells. Spring and stream flow rates were gauged by measuring the velocity of the flow and the cross sectional area. Fourteen surface water sites were monitored, as well as fluctuations during base, normal, and high-flow events. The data determined that streams are flashy and overall good quality. The project area possesses limited ground water resources that are of good quality.

How to estimate the memory consumption of the internal ITS?
With the integrated ITS SAP provides a monitor transaction which allows to check the amount of memory currently used by the internal ITS. Some issues related to that will be discussed here, especially the estimation of the memory consumption and the consequences for the setting of the WebAS parameters.
The Memory consumption of the internal ITS
With the integrated ITS SAP provides a monitor transaction (SITSPMON) which allows to check the amount of memory currently used by the internal ITS.
This memory consists of two main sections: Memory related to user sessions - we call it 'Session Memory' and memory used without belonging to this sessions 'Work Process Memory'.
I will use the following snapshot of the memory statistic screen for discussing some ITS related memory issues. Please click on the thumbnail below to enlarge the screenshot.
The screenshot has been taken from my development system while the user GOMER works on it (as hard as we know him). This engaged user works already with four sessions while the fifth is being created. Not visible on the screenshot: Two ITS services are used, three sessions use the service 'webgui' and the forth session uses the Internet Application Component 'IT00' which provides a template for each screen.
The Session Memory
The session memory - the name implies that already - is used to store session related data. It is not surprising that its amount depends on the transaction and the complexity of the screens used by this session. Large Gridview - or Column Table Controls are good examples for memory consuming screen elements. Some things are noticeable here:
 - In session 5430 and 5432 the peak value of the memory amount differs from the current memory usage. This two sessions are webgui sessions with more complex screens. For this reason not only the memory usage is larger than for the other session, but also the difference between the peak value and the current one are noticeable. The reason for that is the complexity of the controls used here, we need much more data to be passed while processing the screen data in Business HTML.
 - Session 5542 processes a dynpro with some simple controls, it is as humble as session 5547 which handles the IT00 service.
The columns 'Total' contains the number of memory allocation calls the session did in the past and the column 'Current' shows the number of memory objects currently in use.
The Work Process Memory
The work process memory is mainly used for storing the processed Bussiness HTML templates in the template cache. This cache must be accessible to every work process, therefore we use a part of the shared memory for it. The amount of memory each work process uses from its private address space using malloc() for ITS data can be neglected. As you can see, the template cache has a size of approximately 4 MBytes. The snapshot below shows the contents of the template cache. Please click on the thumbnail below to enlarge the screenshot.
Here we can see that six screens of the service IT00 has been accessed. The first three entries are related to the webgui service which uses the facility of generating dynpro without having a template for each screen.
Another thing what might attract attention is the stability of the amount of used work process memory: The peak value is almost identical to the current memory consumption. This should not change as long as the template cache has not been invalidated. The template cache will be invalidated when a template has been published after being changed (using the transaction SE80). Invalidating means to clear the whole cache independent of the published template(s). The memory usage will then increase which every used template.
In a well designed productive system the size of the template cache will be large enough to hold every template the ITS applications used. Here we do not expect a dramatical change in the memory consumption. The parameter itsp/SAPjulep/MaxHtmlPPs determines the number of templates which can be stored in the cache.
Memory currently available for the ITS
The ITS uses memory of the extended global memory area (EG) configured using the parameter em/global_area_MB, 64MB in this example. But not only the ITS uses this part of memory. Other components, like ABAP shared objects f.i., do this too. In order to protect the WebAS from running out of memory we introduced a watermark. When the amount of memory used reaches this watermark, further ITS sessions will be refused. The parameter itsp/max_eg_mem_percent determines this limit, it defaults to 80. This means that no more ITS logons are possible as long as the amount of free memory is less than 20%.
In our snapshot we can see, that other WebAS components are using approximately 16.6 MB.
Estimating the Memory requirements
Using our example above we can see, that an average ITS session needs 1 MB of memory while we still have 25 MB available for further sessions. Assuming that no more templates are needed, we estimate the maximal number of concurrent sessions to 30, which is not too bad for my small computer box.
For estimating the maximal number of concurrent ITS sessions in general we must obtain the amount of EG memory used by other components. Unfortunately we can not offer a tool for that, it is highly dependent on the running applications and how much data will be processed there. But here we can offer the transaction SITSPMON for watching the current situation.
With the values displayed there we can calculate the amount of memory used by other components.
It calculates to:
em/global_area_MB * itsp/max_eg_mem_percent / 100 - ITSMemory
Using this value and the data displayed on the memory statistics screen we are able to estimate the possible number of concurrent sessions and to adjust the parameters discussed here.

What is UDF?
A User Defined Function is a custom function defined to perform transformation operations on Pyspark dataframes. Once defined it can be re-used with multiple dataframes. It can also be used as an alternative of for-loops for faster performance.
Why is UDF Needed?
UDF can be used to perform data transformation operations which are not already present in Pyspark built-in functionality. For instance, we have a column with string values and we need to create a new column with string values reversed. There is no built-in function to perform this operation and we need to write a custom function. UDF can be used as an…

Narration, the self, and aesthetic immersion
Jérôme Dokic
(Institut Jean-Nicod, EHESS-PSL)
1) What is affective imagination?
The relationship between imagination and emotion is complex. Drawing from Peter Goldie's account of imaginings as "mental narratives", I suggest that affective imagination involves three distinct levels of epistemic and emotional perspectives, corresponding to the author (the imagining subject), the imagined character (if there is one) and what I call the "virtual narrator", who paints the imaginary world in a specific emotional light. I show how the present account of affective imagination can be used to shed light on the vexed notion of affective memory, which points to an emotional way of representing one's own past.
2) The sublime and the self
The sublime emerges in the history of philosophy as the object of an aesthetic experience contrasted with the aesthetic experience of the beautiful. In the light of recent psychological and neuroscientific studies, I suggest that the sublime gives rise to an aesthetic experience that, contrary to the experience of the beautiful, involves a diminished sense of the self. More precisely, sublimity experiences are immersive and blur the distinction between the self and the world. This claim has implications for a central question about the sublime, namely whether it is restricted to natural scenes or extends to artworks. I claim that in favourable conditions, art can elicit sublimity experiences.
3) Imaginative immersion I: pictures
What does it take to be imaginatively immersed in (static or dynamic) pictures? What is the relationship between imaginative immersion in pictures and Richard Wollheim's notion of seeing-in? I draw on previous work about so-called "noetic feelings" and sketch an account of imaginative immersion in terms of a belief-independent feeling of reality or presence. I contrast this account with various enactivist attempts to explain our special relationship with pictures by means of the notion of sensorimotor contingencies.
4) Imaginative immersion II: virtual reality and other devices
In this lecture, I take on the notion of imaginative immersion developed in the previous lectures and apply it to immersive devices used for either therapeutic or artistic purposes. I start with an account of sensory substitution devices based on the dualism between sensory content and the feeling of presence. I then turn to other immersive devices used by artists to provoke a specific type of experience. A taxonomy of immersive devices will eventually be offered.

When is the product of intervals also an interval?

 Abstract
 Interval arithmetic is based on the fact that for intervals on the real line, the element-wise product of two intervals is also an interval. This property is not always true: e.g., it is not true if we consider intervals on the set of integers instead of intervals on the set of real numbers. When is an element-wise product or a sum of two intervals always an interval? In this paper, we analyze this problem in a general algebraic setting: we need the corresponding algebraic structures to have (related) addition, multiplication, and order; thus, we consider (consistently) ordered rings. We describe all consistently ordered rings for which the element-wise product and sum of two intervals are always intervals.

"Repetitions" and "sets" are terms used to describe how many times
you do a specific exercise.
- Repetitions are the number of times you
continuously perform each exercise. For example, if you lift a dumbbell up and
down once, that's 1 repetition (or rep). If you lift it 5 times, that's 5
- Sets are the number of times you do a certain number of
repetitions. For example, if you lift the dumbbell 15 times, take a rest, and
then lift it another 15 times, you have done 2 sets of 15 reps each.
The number of repetitions and sets you do depends on your goals. If
you want to gain strength, do a few sets of a few reps with heavy weights.
However, you may want muscular tone and endurance, which means a few sets of
many repetitions with light or medium weights.

Volvo is working on an animal detection system to help make its cars safer in rural areas.
The new system uses the same radar and camera technology as Volvo's Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake application, which is available on its:
-XC70 • S80
A warning sounds if an animal is detected on the road ahead, and if the driver fails to act, the car' brakes are applied to either bring the vehicle to a halt or slow it down significantly.
Volvo says that, in Sweden alone, more than 40,000 accidents involving wild animals are reported every year.
Most collisions with animals happen at dawn, dusk, or during dark winter months, so the new system is being developed with full functionality in these conditions.
Volvo' engineers also plan to 'teach' the system to recognise different animals. As part of the process, a team spent time at a safari park recording film sequences and the behavioural patterns of moose and deer. This is to help ensure the system responds to large animals – such as horses and deer – that pose the greatest risk to drivers and passengers.
A launch date has yet to be confirmed.
Our reviews are based on hard data and thorough testing in the real world.

Natural Gas 101 at Colorado State University Designed to Give Students an Overview of Important Colorado Industry
Increased demand for natural gas and greater public interest in gas drilling and production in Colorado has led Colorado State University to offer students a course on the "Fundamentals of Natural Gas" for the first time.
The interdisciplinary course this spring features an introduction to the natural gas industry including geology, exploration, production, transportation and environmental issues. The class exposes students to all aspects of the natural gas industry with a particular focus on unconventional gas extraction as it is being practiced in Colorado.
"Part of the significance of this course is that it's multidisciplinary – we have students from economics and construction management in addition to geology and engineering students," said Sally Sutton, associate professor and geosciences department chair.
"It's exciting to have so many different professors with different backgrounds," said Jessica Olsen, a senior in mechanical engineering who has already accepted a job with Pioneer Natural Resources upon her graduation in May.
About 30 students in a variety of disciplines are enrolled, but 50 routinely show up. Some of the folks sitting in the front row are other faculty members teaching the course. Tom Sale, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, and Bryan Willson, mechanical engineering professor, for example, have attended Sutton's lectures on the geology of shale.
"I'm having a load of fun in there," said Willson, whose Engines and Energy Conversion Laboratory has done more than any group in the world to address impacts of natural gas pipelines and help industry partners reduce environmental effects of natural gas compression as well as improve efficiency. "I've always been focused on the end use and haven't studied the rock formations, and I find that pretty interesting."
Other instructors include Ken Carlson and Tom Sale. Carlson is co-director of the Colorado Energy Water Consortium, a private-public partnership between CSU and the natural gas industry that is focused on addressing water issues related to shale gas extraction and production. Sale is a leader in solutions for petroleum impacted soil and groundwater with current funding from Chevron, Suncor Energy, ExxonMobil, Shell, and the American Petroleum Institute.
In addition, the class will draw on guest instructors such as former Gov. Bill Ritter who is now director of CSU's Center for the New Energy Economy. Officials from industry and the Environmental Protection Agency also have been invited to speak.
The course addresses increased interest in natural gas production in Colorado and around the nation, particularly with the anticipated future development of oil and gas in the nearby Niobrara formation in northeast Colorado.
"I'm taking the class because it really looks like the natural gas industry is going to explode and also to get a better understanding of the energy future," said Shannon McKibben, a senior in chemical and biological engineering.
In a recent class, Sutton discussed with students how geologists identify and uncover natural gas from rock formations. Sutton researches shale, the rock type that serves as both source and host for many of the natural gas deposits being actively developed. Her work focuses on relating chemical, mineralogical and textural characteristics of shales to the ease with which they transmit or accumulate fluids, including natural gas.
"Changes in how natural gas is being produced suggest that we may be able to use much more natural gas as a potential bridge between petroleum and renewables," Sutton said.

Telemann's Polish Style and the "True Barbaric Beauty" of the Musical Other
Previous studies of Telemann's style polonais have concerned themselves above all with defining the idiom, mostly in terms of rhythm and meter, and cataloging its occurrences in his works. This chapter instead considers how the composer enlisted the style polonais to generate musical and social meanings for his audience. It shows that these meanings depended principally on a series of dichotomies that still resonate in the modern world: East versus West, high/urban versus low/rural, and serious versus comic.

- Ideally suited for altitude stabilization in CE drone applications
- High accuracy, low power consumption and attractive price-performance ratio
- Ideal complement to IMU and geomagnetic sensors for a comprehensive drone sensor solution
Bosch Sensortec introduces a new high performance barometric pressure MEMS sensor: the BMP388 is ideally suited for altitude tracking in Consumer Electronics (CE) drones, wearables, smart homes and other applications.
The BMP388 delivers outstanding altitude stabilization in drones, where accurate measurement of barometric pressure provides the essential altitude data for improving flight stability and landing accuracy. The new barometric pressure sensor is part of Bosch Sensortec's comprehensive sensor solution for drones, which includes the BMI088 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for accurate steering and the BMM150 geomagnetic sensor for the provision of heading data.
The recently-announced BMI088 is a 6-axis IMU, consisting of a triaxial 16-bit acceleration sensor with excellent performance and a triaxial automotive-proven 16-bit gyroscope. Drones can take full advantage of the IMU's superior vibration suppression and robustness and unmatched stability in dynamic conditions such as sudden temperature fluctuations. The BMM150 is a low power and low noise triaxial digital geomagnetic sensor designed for compass applications. Due to its stable performance over a wide temperature range, this geomagnetic sensor is especially suited for determining accurate heading for drones.
In addition to drones, the BMP388 provides a very flexible, one-size-fits-all solution for increasing the accuracy of navigation and fitness applications in wearables and smart homes, for example by utilizing altitude data to improve GPS precision or to determine floor levels inside buildings. It can also improve the precision of calorie counting in wearables and mobile devices, for example by identifying if a person is walking uphill or downhill when using a step counter.

- PERI, COBOD's German distribution partner, started the 3D printing of a 160 m2 two story house in Beckum
- COBOD's success in Germany follows just months after the similar success in Belgium, and the recent announcement of long-term cooperation between COBOD and GE about 3D printing of record tall concrete windmill towers
PERI, the German distributor of COBOD's 3D construction printers, announced recently that it used 3D construction printer from COBOD to make the first 3D printed building in Beckum, Germany. This milestone for the future of the German construction industry was underlined by the presence of a minister from the regional government of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's largest federal state.
While other companies involved in 3D construction printing often speak about their future plans and visions, the established leading position of Danish COBOD continues to be demonstrated by actual 3D printed buildings and structures. Not done by COBOD but made by the growing number of customers using COBOD's 3D construction printers, mainly the BOD2.
The two-story building in Germany follows only a few months after that COBOD's Belgium customer, Kamp C, revealed Europe's first 3D printed two-story building in Europe. The video from the 3D printing of the building in Belgium has gone viral and has been seen more than 400.000 times as a testament to the growing popularity of the technology.
Henrik Lund-Nielsen, Founder and General Manager of COBOD explained: "We are very pleased, that we are beginning to see the fruits of the many 3D construction printers, which we have sold since the launch of the BOD 2 3D construction printer in 2019. Projects have been delayed by the Coronavirus, but now they start to be revealed. These buildings and the huge interest for them document that our technology – and the buildings they can make – are ready for the market".
As PERI globally and in Germany is one of the leading suppliers of formwork equipment for the manual casting of concrete, PERI's involvement in 3D construction printing is noticeable and a sign that the conventional construction sector has realized that automation and digitalization of the construction industry is the future, which involves among other the use of robotic 3D construction printers.
Thomas Imbacher, Innovation and Marketing Director at PERI GmbH, explained: "We are very confident that 3D construction printing will become increasingly important in certain market segments over the coming years and has considerable potential. We are proud that PERI's involvement in the project in Beckum has seen us become a pioneer and forerunner for this new construction technique".
PERI is making the building in Beckum with the help of COBOD's BOD2 printer. The BOD 2 has a modular build and can be extended in any direction with modules of 2,5 meter, to a maximum of 15 meters in the width and 10 meters in the height. In the length, the printer can be as long as desired. For the Beckum building, PERI is using a BOD 2 of 12.5m * 15m * 7.5m.
The BOD 2 printer has a maximum speed of 100 cm/sec, equivalent to printing/casting 10 tons of concrete per hour. Printing material was provided by Heidelberg cement.
The BOD 2 has also been used to make large concrete structures like the world's first 3D printed windmill tower of 10 meters, that COBOD did under long-term cooperation with GE, which was also revealed just prior to this summer.
Michael Holm, R&D manager of COBOD concluded, "The BOD 2 is a very versatile printer. In Beckum, PERI has chosen to use a long printer, whereas we used a much shorter but taller printer for printing of the 10m tower for GE. This was the whole idea behind the modular design of the printer – it is always possible to find a size that meets the customer's need".

Credited as : Biochemist, developed antibiotic/Nystatin against fungal disease in humans,
0 votes so far
Rachel Fuller Brown, with her associate Elizabeth Hazen, developed the first effective antibiotic against fungal disease in humans—the most important biomedical breakthrough since the discovery of penicillin two decades earlier. Nystatin earned more than $13 million in royalties during Brown's lifetime, which she and Hazen dedicated to scientific research.
Early life
Rachel Fuller Brown was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, on November 23, 1898, to Annie Fuller and George Hamilton Brown. Her father, a real estate and insurance agent, moved the family to Webster Groves, Missouri, where she attended grammar school. Although Fuller did not take an immediate interest in science, she was fascinated with insects and she collected and studied them. In school, however, Fuller went out of her way to avoid science classes.
In 1912 Brown's father left the family. She and her younger brother returned to Springfield with their mother, who, to support them, worked as a secretary, then as an administrator in several Episcopalian churches. Because of the family's financial situation, it looked as though Brown's education would end after high school. But Brown's hard work and determination impressed Henrietta F. Dexter, a wealthy friend of her grandmother, who decided to fund Brown's tuition to Mount Holyoke College in nearby South Hadley, Massachusetts.
At Mount Holyoke Brown was initially a history major, but she discovered chemistry when fulfilling a science requirement. She decided to double-major in history and chemistry, earning her degree in 1920. She later went to the University of Chicago to complete her master's degree in organic chemistry. For three years she taught chemistry and physics at the Francis Shimer School near Chicago. With her savings she returned to the university to complete her doctorate degree in organic chemistry, with a minor in bacteriology. She submitted her thesis (a research project required for graduation) in 1926, but there was a delay in arranging her oral examinations, which she needed to complete in order to get her degree. As her funds ran low, Brown was forced to leave Chicago before her exams. She took a job as an assistant chemist at the Division of Laboratories and Research of the New York State Department of Health in Albany, New York. The department was famous for its identifications of several human disease-causing agents. Seven years later, when she returned to Chicago for a scientific meeting, Brown arranged to take her oral examinations and was finally awarded her degree.
Discovers fungal antibiotic
Brown's early work at the Department of Health focused on identifying the types of bacteria that caused pneumonia, a disease that causes inflammation of the lungs. Brown helped to develop a pneumonia vaccine (an agent used to fight the disease) still in use today. In 1948 she embarked on the project with her associate Elizabeth Hazen, a leading authority on fungus, that would bring them their greatest respect from her peers: the discovery of an antibiotic to fight fungal infections. Penicillin, a groundbreaking antibiotic used to fight a variety of illnesses, had been discovered in 1928, and in the following years antibiotics were increasingly used to fight bacterial illnesses. One side effect, however, was the rapid growth of fungus that could lead to sore mouths or upset stomachs. Other fungal diseases without cures included infections attacking the central nervous system, athlete's foot (a foot fungus), and ring-worm (a contagious skin disease).
Microorganisms (animals or plants of microscopic size) called actinomycetes that lived in soil were known to produce antibiotics. Although some killed fungus, they also proved fatal to test mice. Hazen ultimately narrowed the search down to a microorganism taken from soil near a barn on a friend's dairy farm in Virginia, later named streptomyces norsei. Brown's chemical analyses revealed that the microorganism produced two antifungal substances, one of which proved too toxic (deadly) with test animals to pursue for human medical use. The other, however, seemed to have promise—it was not toxic to test animals, and attacked both a fungus that invaded the lungs and central nervous system and candidiasis, an infection of the mouth, lungs, and vagina.
Brown purified (cleansed) this second antibiotic into small white crystals, and in 1950 Brown and Hazen announced at a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences that they had found a new antifungal agent. They patented (gained official right to the product) it through the nonprofit Research Corporation, naming it "nystatin" in honor of the New York State Division of Laboratories and Research. The license for the patent was issued to E. R. Squibb and Sons, which developed a safe and effective method of mass production. The product—called Mycostatin—became available in tablet form in 1954 to patients suffering from candidiasis. Nystatin has also proved valuable in agricultural and livestock applications, and has even been used to restore valuable works of art.
Later career
In 1951 the Department of Health laboratories promoted Brown to associate biochemist. Brown and Hazen continued their research and discovered two additional antibiotics, phalamycin and capacidin. Brown and Hazen were awarded the 1955 Squibb Award in Chemotherapy, the treatment of disease through chemical agents. Brown won the Distinguished Service Award of the New York State Department of Health when she retired in 1968, and the Rhoda Benham Award of the Medical Mycological Society of the Americas in 1972. In 1975 Brown and Hazen became the first women to receive the Chemical Pioneer Award from the American Institute of Chemists. In a statement published in the Chemist shortly before she died, Brown hoped for a future of "equal opportunities and accomplishments for all scientists regardless of sex."
In retirement Brown maintained an active community life, and became the first female vestry (administrator) member of her Episcopalian church. By her death on January 14, 1980, she had paid back Henrietta Dexter, the wealthy woman who had made it possible for her to attend college. Perhaps even more significant, she used the royalties (money earned) from nystatin to help create new funds for scientific research and scholarships.

Rochdale MP, Tony Lloyd, welcomes news that Rochdale Town Centre Conservation Area is making good progress towards repair. The news comes as Historic England recently published its annual Heritage at Risk Register for 2021.
Tony said, "I am delighted that Rochdale Town Centre Conservation Area has made such good progress, and I offer my thanks to Rochdale Council and everyone in the community involved in the success of this project.
"It's a great opportunity to celebrate the hard work and dedication of local people who have come together to care for historic places despite the challenges wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic over the past 18 months.
"The publication of the Heritage at Risk Register reminds us that historic places positively impact people's quality of life. They have been an anchor for local communities during these uncertain times. From high street shops to places of worship, or cherished historic landscapes, they have been vitally important to us and to our wellbeing."
Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive of Historic England, added, "Our heritage is an anchor for us all in testing times. Despite the challenges we have all faced recently, this year's Heritage at Risk Register demonstrates that looking after and investing in our historic places can contribute to the country's economic recovery, bring communities together and help tackle climate change. Our historic places deserve attention, investment and a secure future.".
There are 3 entries on the Heritage At Risk Register within the Rochdale constituency: Rochdale town centre; Church of Christ, Gandy Lane, and; St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, Dowling Street
There is more to do. Over the last year, 130 historic buildings and sites across the country have been added to the register because of their deteriorating condition. Of the £14.5 million in grants given to historic places in England in the past year, £4.8 million were lifeline grants from the government's Culture Recovery Fund. These emergency grants have kick-started essential repairs and maintenance at many precious historic sites during the pandemic and helped protect the livelihoods of the skilled craft workers who keep our cherished historic places alive
Reusing historic buildings is good for the planet. Historic England is working to highlight how reusing and adapting historic buildings, including places rescued from the Heritage at Risk register, can help to tackle climate change by avoiding high carbon emissions associated with demolishing existing buildings and building new ones. To meet the government's target of being carbon neutral by 2050, recycling, reusing and responsibly adapting our existing historic buildings is vital.

The place you reference is Ouachita County, Arkansas. Ouachita County was created on 29 November 1842 from Union County. There have been some minor county boundary changes since that time in 1850, 1852, 1853, and 1871. The county is part of the Camden Micropolitan Statistical District. I suggest that you begin your search by consulting the FamilySearch Library Catalog for Ouachita County, Arkansas. You will find that the Library has a number of records from that county including cemetery records, censu records, church history, court records, land and property records, maps, military records, probate records, school records, taxation records and vital records. You can also check out the entries in the FamilySearch Research Wiki for Ouachita County. There are a few additional references there. I also suggest contacting the Ouachita County Historical Society.
It depends on whether or not the form has been filed with the county in which the real estate is located, and whether the county has computerized records or not.
County Records was created in 1963.
Kern County Hall of Records was created in 1909.
Marriage records are usually held in the courthouse in the county in which the marriage took place. If the county does not exist any longer, a nearby county likely has the records.
The County Auditor is responsible for making sure that county financial records are kept. The County Auditor also makes sure that financial records are accurate.

The county clerk
County registrars are appointed by the Irish government. The County Registrar, within the County to which he is assigned, is the proper officer of the Court in respect of all its jurisdiction, and is responsible for the discharge of all duties imposed upon him or upon the Office, by Statute or otherwise, and for the safe custody of all documents and records of the Court.
At this time, Carter County Oklahoma offers several different public record searches online:Property tax and assessment recordsCarter County recorded documents - property records, vital records, tax liensInmate recordsSex offenders
Some public records can be accessed online it just depends on what type of record that you are researching Some public records such as property records, vital records and recorded documents are maintained at the County level. You can search by state, county or city through the website Free Public Records Directory. Camilla is located in Mitchell County, Georgia so attached is a link to Mitchell County through Free Public Records.
The county clerk manages elections and maintains the state's records.
If you have the Bronze Star award on your Military Discharge, or if you have the Citation for it, take them to a Veteran Service Officer at any US Federal Building (some county offices have them, too). They will help you.
It depends on the land records system in that jurisdiction. Some organize land records by town and some by county. You can perform an online search using the town, county + land records to find the land records office in any particular jurisdiction.
You probably won't find arrest records online but you can search Volusia County Florida court records. Volusia County allows you to search case records, citations and violations, official records, court documents, judgments, liens and probate records. You can search these records by case or citation number, case type, name, date, location or document type.
Usually these are filed with the county court.

You can check the history of land in the land records office. They are usually listed by county. You can usually find the land records office by searching "land records- the county and state".
To find public records for Lucerne County, Pa, you can visit the courthouse or you can access certain records online depending on what type of record that you are looking for. You can access contact information or certain online links by going to the "Free Public Records Directory" for Lucerne County at the related link.

Introduction Concussion prevalence in sport is well recognized, so too is the challenge of clinical and return-to-play management for an injury with an inherent indeterminant time course of resolve. A clear, valid insight into the anticipated resolution time could assist in planning treatment intervention. Purpose This study implemented a supervised machine learning-based approach in modeling estimated symptom resolve time in high school athletes who incurred a concussion during sport activity. Methods We examined the efficacy of 10 classification algorithms using machine learning for the prediction of symptom resolution time (within 7, 14, or 28 d), with a data set representing 3 yr of concussions suffered by high school student-athletes in football (most concussion incidents) and other contact sports. Results The most prevalent sport-related concussion reported symptom was headache (94.9%), followed by dizziness (74.3%) and difficulty concentrating (61.1%). For all three category thresholds of predicted symptom resolution time, single-factor ANOVA revealed statistically significant performance differences across the 10 classification models for all learners at a 95% confidence interval (P = 0.000). Naïve Bayes and Random Forest with either 100 or 500 trees were the top-performing learners with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve performance ranging between 0.656 and 0.742 (0.0-1.0 scale). Conclusions Considering the limitations of these data specific to symptom presentation and resolve, supervised machine learning demonstrated efficacy, while warranting further exploration, in developing symptom-based prediction models for practical estimation of sport-related concussion recovery in enhancing clinical decision support.

Fun with console.log() 💿
If you've ever developed a web app, you'll be familiar with console.log(...), the method which prints data to the developer console; useful for debugging, logging and testing.
Run console.log(console), and you'll see that there's much more to the console object.
This post briefly outlines the top 10 neat tricks you can use to level up your logging experience.
Contents
Tables
The console.table() method prints objects/ arrays as a neatly formatted tables.
console.table({
 'Time Stamp': new Date().getTime(),
 'OS': navigator['platform'],
 'Browser': navigator['appCodeName'],
 'Language': navigator['language'],
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Screenshot showing an example output of console.table
Groups
Group related console statements together with collapsible sections, using console.group().
You can optionally give a section a title, by passing a string as the parameter. Sections can be collapsed and expanded in the console, but you can also have a section collapsed by default, by using groupCollapsed instead of group. You can also nest sub-sections within sections but be sure to remember to close out each group with groupEnd.
The following example will output an open section, containing some info
console.group('URL Info');
 console.log('Protocol', window.location.protocol);
 console.log('Host', window.origin);
 console.log('Path', window.location.pathname);
 console.groupCollapsed('Meta Info');
 console.log('Date Fetched', new Date().getTime());
 console.log('OS', navigator['platform']);
 console.log('Browser', navigator['appCodeName']);
 console.log('Language', navigator['language']);
 console.groupEnd();
console.groupEnd();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Screenshot showing an example output of console.group
Styled Logs
It's possible to style your log outputs with some basic CSS, such as colors, fonts, text styles and sizes. Note that browser support for this is quite variable.
For example, try running the following:
console.log(
 '%cHello World!',
 'color: #f709bb; font-family: sans-serif; text-decoration: underline;'
);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
You should get the following output:
Screenshot showing an example using CSS in the console
Pretty cool, huh? Well there's a lot more you can do too!
Maybe change the font, style, background color, add some shadows and some curves...
Screenshot showing an example using CSS in the console
Here's something similar I'm using in a developer dashboard, the code is here
Screenshot showing an example using CSS in the console
Time
Another common debugging technique is measuring execution time, to track how long an operation takes. This can be achieved by starting a timer using console.time() and passing in a label, then ending the timer using console.timeEnd(), using the same label. You can also add markers within a long running operation using console.timeLog()
console.time("concatenation");
let output = "";
for (var i = 1; i <= 1e6; i++) {
 output += i;
}
console.timeEnd("concatenation");
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
concatenation: 1206ms - timer ended
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Screenshot showing an example output of console.time
There's also a non-standard method, console.timeStamp() which adds markers within the performance tab, so you can correlate points in your code with the other events recorded in the timeline like paint and layout events.
Assert
You may only want to log to the console if an error occurs, or a certain condition is true or false. This can be done using console.assert(), which won't log anything to the console unless the first parameter is false.
The first parameter is a boolean condition to check, followed by 0 or more data points you'd like to print, and the last parameter is a message to output. So console.assert(false, 'Value was false') will output the message, since the first parameter is false.
const errorMsg = 'the # is not even';
for (let num = 2; num <= 5; num++) {
 console.log('the # is ${num}');
 console.assert(num % 2 === 0, { num }, errorMsg);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Screenshot showing an example output of console.assert
Count
Ever find yourself manually incrementing a number for logging? console.count() is helpful for keeping track how many times something was executed, or how often a block of code was entered.
You can optionally give your counter a label, which will let you manage multiple counters and make the output clearer.
Counters will always start from 1. You can reset a counter at anytime with console.countReset(), which also takes an optional label parameter.
The following code will increment the counter for each item in the array, the final value will be 8.
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 30, 69, 120, 240, 420];
numbers.forEach((name) => {
 console.count();
});
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
The following is an example output of labelled counters.
Screenshot showing an example output of console.count
Instead of passing in a label, if you use a value, then you'll have a separate counter for each conditions value. For example:
console.count(NaN); // NaN: 1
console.count(NaN+3); // NaN: 2
console.count(1/0); // Infinity: 1
console.count(String(1/0)); // Infinity: 2
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Trace
In JavaScript, we're often working with deeply nested methods and objects. You can use console.trace() to traverse through the stack trace, and output which methods were called to get to a certain point.
Screenshot showing an example output of console.trace
You can optionally pass data to also be outputted along with the stacktrace.
Dir
If your logging a large object to the console, it may become hard to read. The console.dir() method will format it in an expandable tree structure.
The following is an example of a directory-style console output:
Screenshot showing an example output of console.dir
You can also print XML or HTML based trees in a similar way, by using console.dirxml().
Debug
You may have some logging set up within your app, that you rely on during development, but don't wish the user to see. Replacing log statements with console.debug() will do just this, it functions in exactly the same way as console.log but will be stripped out by most build systems, or disabled when running in production mode.
Log Levels
You may have noticed that there's several filters in the browser console (info, warnings and error), they allow you to change the verbosity of logged data. To make use of these filters, just switch out log statements with one of the following:
 - console.info() - Informational messages for logging purposes, commonly includes a small "i" and / or a blue background
 - console.warn() - Warnings / non-critical errors, commonly includes a triangular exclamation mark and / or yellow background
 - console.error() - Errors which may affect the functionality, commonly includes a circular exclamation mark and / or red background
In Node.js different log levels get written to different streams when running in production, for example error() will write to stderr, whereas log outputs to stdout, but during development they will all appear in the console as normal.
Multi-Value Logs
Most functions on the console object will accept multiple parameters, so you can add labels to your output, or print multiple data points at a time, for example: console.log('User: ', user.name);
But an easier approach for printing multiple, labelled values, is to make use of object deconstructing. For example, if you had three variables (e.g. x, y and z), you could log them as an object by surrounding them in curly braces, so that each variables name and value is outputted - like console.log( { x, y, z } );
Screenshot showing an example output of console deconstructing
Log String Formats
If you need to build formatted strings to output, you can do this with C-style printf using format specifiers.
The following specifiers are supported:
 - %s - String or any other type converted to string
 - %d / %i - Integer
 - %f -

Boston Common Garage
A number of years ago the City of Boston upgraded its underground parking facility, which was in need of structural repairs. Renovations to the facility included the design of new pedestrian pavilions along the Commons, an electronic entry identifier, interior illuminated overhead directionals, column locators, historic map directories and identifiers at the elevators and stairs.
Architectural details, such as the compatibility with historic fencing, the incorporation of interior ambient lighting and the durability of materials, were critical elements in the wayfinding program. Four pictorial icons were designed to help orient visitors to the environment above, and bold primary colors were used in the sign elements to reinforce the three levels of parking in the garage below.

Meet Jason Walther, the farmer who grew the potatoes in your bag.
Farming As a Way of Life
As a third-generation member of the Walther family, Jason was just six years old when he realized his passion was, and always would be, farming. "Farming is a way of life and it becomes part of who you are," Jason said. Luckily, Jason has help from nine family members including siblings and cousins to grow the best quality potatoes for Kettle Brand potato chips. The family farmers also practice sustainable farming, implementing proper crop rotations that naturally enrich the farm's soil, including seeding 500 acres of land with a cover crop mixture every third year. By doing so, they provide valuable habitat for pollinators like the monarch butterfly, comma butterfly, eastern bumblebee and European honeybees.
When the Walthers aren't tending the taters and pollinators, they volunteer to serve their local community schools. The farmers pack more than 600 backpacks every week with food to help students in need.

The 31 California Fun Facts You'll Wish You Knew Sooner
The 31 California Fun Facts You'll Wish You Knew Sooner
September 09, 2020
The Golden State is full of surprises—and it's no wonder inspiration and innovation take on many forms in this majestic land of beaches, valleys, and mountains. Recognized internationally for its unique history and unconventional spirit, California (unsurprisingly) has quite a few fascinating stories and interesting facts to share. From the spooky to the intriguing, here are the best California fun facts.
1. In 1850, California became the 31st state. Prior to its statehood, California was an independent country for one month in 1846.
2. California is home to approximately 40 million residents, which is about ⅛ of the U.S. population and more than the entire population of Canada.
3. The majority of California's residents belong to a minority ethnic group; in fact, one out of every four Californians was not born in the U.S.
4. Almonds are California's top exports. Most of the state's almonds are grown in the Central Valley, which is considered the world's almond capital.

 5. Many of the Native American tribes—including the Quechan (Yuma), Maidu, Pomo, and Hupa—lived in California.
6. The Golden State ranks third amongst the largest territories in the U.S., after Alaska and Texas.
7. Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose are among the top 10 biggest cities in the U.S.
8. With nearly three million acres of land, San Bernardino County is the largest county in the U.S.
9. Contrasting San Bernardino, Alpine County is California's smallest county, with 465,030 acres of land.
10. There are many interesting facts about California, but one of the most impressive is that it the first state to reach $1 trillion in GDP.
When traveling in California, make sure to stop by San Diego, the second-largest city in the state.
11. The California redwood tree became the designated California state tree in 1937.
12. Eureka—the Greek word for "I have found it!"—is a cry of happiness when you've achieved something; Archimedes uttered this very word when he discovered the method of determining the purity of gold. In honor of the California Gold Rush, the state later adopted "Eureka" as its official motto.
13. During the Great Depression, San Francisco successfully survived the worldwide recession. None of its banks went bankrupt during this time.
14. On average, California experiences over 100,000 earthquakes a year. Luckily, many of these earthquakes are quite feeble.
Despite its appearance on the state flag, the California grizzly bear hasn't been seen in the state for more than a century.
15. California was initially named "the Grizzly Bear State" (hence the bear on the flag), but as the human population increased in California, trouble escalated between bear and man. As a result, the bears were hunted for sport, thus leading to their extinction. When there were no longer any bears left, California was renamed the Golden State.
16. California is truly a hub of innovation and inspires the brightest of minds; many innovations were created here, including wetsuits, skateboards, Barbie dolls, Apple products, Frisbee, and even the Internet.
17. Here's an especially weird fact about California: In the summer months, the Sierra Nevada surprises and delights visitors with its magnificent "watermelon snow." As a result of microscopic algae, pink-tinted snow drapes the mountains, and some even say it smells and tastes just like watermelon.
While fortune cookies are often served with Chinese food, they were popularized and invented in California, not China.
18. Many people love to crack open these vanilla-flavored treats after enjoying a Chinese meal to read the riddles and fortunes tucked inside—that's right, we're talking about the fortune cookie. This post-dinner delight was created in California, with both Los Angeles and San Francisco taking credit for the invention.
19. Get ready to steam your worries away in California—Sonoma County boasts the world's largest geothermal field. Before power plants were built in the region, native tribes used it for healing purposes and steam baths for over 12,000 years.
20. With nine national parks to explore, California is home to the most national parks in the country and offers an abundance of incredibly beautiful scenery.
21. San Francisco is the only city where you can walk on guns—yes, you read that right. Known for its bizarre facts, S.F. is quite the headliner. (For instance, did you know that it's illegal to store anything but automobiles in the garages in the city?) In an attempt to make the city streets free of mud and dirt—settlers paved the streets with guns during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
22. San Francisco is also known as "The City of Dogs," thanks to its unusually large pup population. As of 2016, there are only 115,000 children in the city but between 120,000 and 150,000 dogs. It seems like San Francisco's residents are in favor of having four-legged babies.
Famous for its groves of giant sequoias, California's official state tree is the redwood.
23. California defies gravity, literally. There are several mysterious places in California where gravity just doesn't seem to play the same role as it should. The gravity hills in certain spots of California are known to push your car uphill, without using any power and while the car is in neutral.
24. California has the largest amphitheater in the United States: The classic Hollywood Bowl opened in 1922, serving as an amphitheater, public park, and picnic area.
25. Most of the movies filmed in the U.S. were filmed in California. (Following the Golden State is New York and Texas.) So, take a drive to the most iconic film locations in Southern California or add Northern California film spots to your to-do list
26. Enjoying everything from avocado toast to avocado smoothies, Californians are so in love with the avocado that it's become the official state fruit and one of the most iconic foods in California. San Diego County's Fallbrook, known as the "Avocado Capital of the World," hosts an annual avocado festival.
27. The stylish city of San Francisco is where blue jeans were invented. Levi Strauss and business partner Jacob Davis introduced the jeans to the world in 1873. Initially worn by factory workers, miners, and farmers, jeans eventually became a staple and made their way into closets around the nation and beyond.
Salute General Sherman, the world's largest tree by volume, and soak in the ancient wisdom of this massive sequoia.
28. In California's Sequoia National Park, you'll find the world's largest tree by volume. Named General Sherman, this giant sequoia is about 52,500 cubic feet by volume, and its circumference at the ground is 102.6 feet.
29. The iconic zip code 90210 is one of the state's most expensive zip codes and among L.A.'s most expensive neighborhoods, but Beverly Hills has actually humble roots. What began as a Spanish lima bean ranch quickly transformed into the most prestigious Golden State neighborhood and is now home to many Hollywood starlets.
30. California has an incredibly diverse climate and environment. The weather varies from blazing desert heat to subarctic climates, depending on the latitude and elevation.
31. California is the only state that has hosted both the summer and winter Olympics. The city of Los Angeles hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics, while Squaw Valley hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics.

ISP support for multiple PCBs usually requires a lot more efforts than single PCB or parallel chip programming support. This is the reason we ask for schematic in advance so we can check if PCB is designed with ISP in mind. With our experience, serial programming is not as simple as parallel programming because the target load is unknown. Each programming algorithm is customized for most of the cases to suit customer's PCB design. There are many factors such as length of wires, crosstalk, Power needed by PCB and other adjacent components on PCB which needs to be considered while developing ISP programming algorithm.

Temple, Texas Facts:
- County: Bell
- Coverage Area (Total): 65.3 sq. miles
- Elevation: 719 ft.
- Population: 66,102
- Cities/Towns covered in local Names and Numbers Phone Book: Bartlett, Belton, Heidenheimer, Holland, Little River-Academy, Moffat, Moody, Oenaville, Rogers, Salado, Temple, Troy, Zabcikville
Temple was founded in 1881 by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad and incorporated in 1882. It was originally named Temple Junction after a railroad official named Bernard Moore Temple. Local residents nicknamed the town "Tanglefoot" due to the combination of muddy streets and liquor consumption making it difficult to walk through. After the town's incorporation, The Temple Academy private school was organized and public school was established in 1884.
Temple became known as one of the leading medical communities in the Southwest with the establishment of the Santa Fe Hospital (1891), King's Daughters Hospital (1897), and Scott and White Hospital in 1904. By 1900, there were more than 7,000 residents, which more than doubled to over 15,000 by 1930. In 1942, Temple added another dimension to its medical status with the opening of the Veterans Administration. By the 1970s, due in part to its extensive agricultural production, Temple was named the site for the state offices of the U.S. Soil Conversation Service.
Temple maintains a variety of attractions including:

I am aware that the way to change user picture, is creating a .face file on /home... The thing is, this only works when one checks the users and groups on System directory... When it's time to login, nothing is displayed, but the default "faceless" icon... Why is this?
I am using Xubuntu 11.04

enter image description here
*For Xubuntu 14.04 : The image must be as high as wide : 200x200 for ex. Open Terminal (CTRL-ATL-T) and copy it to ~/.face Reboot to see if all is OK ?
For Xubuntu versions before 11.10
Create a 96x96 jpg (JPEG) and renamed it as ~/.face.
For Xubuntu versions 11.10 and above
Create a 96x72 png (PNG) and renamed it as ~/.face.
Log-out to see your masterpiece.
How To:
1. Using GIMP
The in-built image editor in Xubuntu is Gimp.
Load the image in Gimp and crop the image to approximately 96x96 or 96x72 pixels depending upon your xubuntu version as described above.
Then fine-tune your image via Image - Scale Image...
enter image description here
Break the scale link as shown and enter the pixel size 96 x 96 or 96 x 72 as appropriate. Complete the scale by clicking the Scale button
Save the file. If necessary save the file type when saving (jpg or png).
2. Using Imagemagick
imagemagick comes with several command line image manipulation programs but the one we need to resize the image is named convert
convert original.jpg -resize 96x96 ~/.face
This will create a copy of original.jpg named .face, with a resolution of 96x96 and place it in your home directory.

 My .face suddenly started showing after upgrading to Raring, but there's still no GUI for changing it in Xubuntu. If there's no GUI for changing it, it really shouldn't be shown (I can imagine less technical users being upset by having some photo there which they cannot change!)

In Xubuntu 13.10, I believe any square PNG ~/.face file will work. Even transparent ones!
A rectangular image will be squashed, so only use square. Go to switch user screen to test it while editing.

Xubuntu 13.04, created a 64x64 JPEG file, placed it as $HOME/.face -- it works immediately even before logoff (as you can see in Settings-Users and Groups)

96x96 works in 13.04 Xubuntu, at least it does for me. For some reason, I used to have the blank two figure icon in the Login window, then one day after an update, I just had a square with a red X in it. I added the 96x96 .face picture in $home and now have a nice Santa Fe engine at login now.

Radiant power from the images of adjacent point sources will spill over into each other even though their separation is greater than the system resolution element. This spillover or system optical crosstalk can be troublesome if a point source of interest is in the vicinity of a much brighter point source. A method is presented for computation of the constituent of system optical crosstalk due to optical surface scatter. This analysis provides the scatter function at the image based on the scatter function for each surface and the surface position along the optical path.

from the Huffington Post
Why, in a country that consumes 25% of the world's resources (the U.S.), is there an epidemic of loneliness, depression, and anxiety? Why do so many in the West who have all of their basic needs met still feel impoverished? While some politicians might answer, "It's the economy, stupid," Based on scientific evidence, a better answer is, "It's the lack compassion, stupid."
I recently attended the Templeton Prize ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London and have been reflecting on the words of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in conversation with Arianna Huffington: "If we say, oh, the practice of compassion is something holy, nobody will listen. If we say, warm-heartedness really reduces your blood pressure, your anxiety, your stress and improves your health, then people pay attention." As director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University (one of the two organizations recognized in the Templeton Prize press release), I would agree with the Dalai Lama.
What exactly is compassion? Compassion is the recognition of another's suffering and a desire to alleviate that suffering. Often brushed off as a hippy dippy religious term irrelevant in modern society, rigorous empirical data supports the view of all major world religions: compassion is good.

With the kind of competition that exists in the market, it is quite understandable that an ALM tool is rated according to the varying features it can provide. An ALM tool is expected to cover all corners in the lifecycle of a project and for doing that, the tool needs to host a vast range of features some being highly critical and some not so. One such functionality is the 'Searching' capability of an ALM tool. So let us discuss this functionality in a greater depth, as to why this feature is important in the context of ALM, and how Kovair deals with it.
The importance of the Searching functionality of an ALM tool can be easily understood from a simple example. Imagine a team working on a project like building a project management application. Now, when dealing with a subject like this, it is obvious that this one big requirement would be broken down into minute smaller requirements.
Naturally, different development teams would be assigned different modules and they would start working on them. All these requirements are stored in the ALM tool, and their relevant details are updated accordingly in the course of this work. Now, try imagining about finding out a specific requirement that the business analyst wants to update. This is where the importance of the filters and search functionality comes in.
Kovair has various ways to manage the searching functionalities in the application. The different options include:
- ID and Text Search
- Search with a specific ID to retrieve the particular record
- Search with a text phrase, to pull out all the matching items from the system
- Assisted search like 'Last 5', which retrieves the last 5 items that have been entered into the system
- Filters in Kovair
- User defined filters, which are completely customizable according to the fields that are defined in the artifacts
- Run time filters, which allow the user to specify the search criteria, whenever the filter is used
- Global filters, which can be defined at Site level (equivalent to an organization) and are available across all the projects
- Shared filters, which are defined at Workspace level (equivalent to a project) and are available across all the artifacts in the Workspace
Now, let us discuss these features of Kovair in detail:
ID & Text Search
Kovair has an 'ID & Text Search Box' which has extensive capabilities. The Search box is intelligent enough to understand whether the user is attempting a text search or an id search. This effectively means that Kovair has one single search box, which can perform both id search and text search.
When a user enters a numeric value, the system searches across record IDs and retrieves data from the system. On the other hand, when a user enters a text phrase, the system retrieves items corresponding to the matching texts.
Kovair also facilitates queries like 'Last 5' or 'Last 25', which would pull out the last 5 or last 25 entries that have been added into the system. These kinds of searches help the user in retrieving dynamic search results from the system, with the same command.
Filters in Kovair
Kovair has different types of filters which allow users to search specific sets of records and find what they are looking for. By default, Kovair retrieves the data, by virtue of the system defined filter. However, Kovair users can choose to create customized filters according to their specific needs. All that a Kovair user needs to create a new filter is an appropriate access right.
A specific type of filter that is available in Kovair is the Run Time filter, which allows users to set filter criteria in run time. You can create run time filters in Kovair based on the different fields that are available within an artifact. Once designed every time the corresponding filter would be used, the system would allow the user to define the criteria based on which the system should retrieve data. The different types of fields that are available in Kovair can be used for this purpose depending on the needs of the user.
Apart from defining filters specifically for each artifact, Kovair also has the concept of Global and Shared filters, which allow the users to create filters at the Workspace (equivalent to project) and Site (equivalent to organization) level.
Global filters are defined at Site level, whereas the Shared filters are defined at Workspace level. This effectively means that a Global filter can be used in a range of Workspaces the user has access to, and the Shared filter can be used across all the entities in a particular Workspace. The primary advantage of such filters is the fact that the creation of similar types of filters in various artifacts can be avoided.
With all these searching mechanisms prevalent in the system, Kovair provides its users with a range of efficient searching options, which in turn allows the users to use the tool more effectively.

3 Gifts for positive thinking
Counting the Good Stuff – '3 Gifts' to Reduce Stress and Lift Your Mood
There is lots of research that shows that just by noticing more of the positives in your life you can reduce stress, begin to lift depression and have a better experience of life all round. Studies conducted by the Positive Psychology team at Penn State University have shown this simple exercise to be as effective at lifting depression as certain medications that are often prescribed by GP's in the UK.
This exercise is called three gifts. Why not try it out and see what a positive difference it can make?
It's easy, just follow these simple steps:
1. Get a lovely new notebook – preferably one that makes you smile just to own it but any notebook containing paper will do!
2. At the end of each day write down 3 things that could be considered gifts in your life. They can be something from nature, something someone said to you, something you read or saw.?Anything that could be considered a gift to you.?Some days you might struggle to find 3 and other days you might struggle to only pick 3 of many.
3. Write down how you were responsible for bringing each of these gifts into your life.
Do this for at least 28 days and at the end of the month you will have a gorgeous record of so many things in your life that could make you smile.
Doing this exercise at the end of the day is great as you will fall asleep with these gifts in you mind and it primes your unconscious to go looking for more gifts the following day – lifting your mood,?relieving?stress and allowing you to?experience?life in a much more positive way.
Do let me know how you get on and if you suffer from stress, anxiety or depressive symptoms and you'd like to discuss how I can help you even further with Coaching and Cognitive Hypnotherapy in London do get in contact here.

Focusing and Mode Separation of Elastic Vector Solitons in a 2D Soft Mechanical Metamaterial
Abstract : Soft mechanical metamaterials can support a rich set of dynamic responses, which, to date, have received relatively little attention. Here, we report experimental, numerical, and analytical results describing the behavior of an anisotropic two-dimensional flexible mechanical metamaterial when subjected to impact loading. We not only observe the propagation of elastic vector solitons with three components-two translational and one rotational-that are coupled together, but also very rich direction-dependent behaviors such as the formation of sound bullets and the separation of pulses into different solitary modes. Ongoing advances in digital manufacturing technologies are enabling fabrication of systems with an unprecedented level of compositional and structural complexity [1-3]. This remarkable control of geometry has stimulated major advances in the design of mechanical metamaterials-designer matter with unique mechanical properties that are dictated by their engineered structure [4,5]. While initial efforts in the field have focused on systems with unusual linear properties, such as negative Poisson's ratio [6-8], negative stiffness [9,10], and negative thermal expansion [11,12], large deformation and nonlinearities have been recently embraced as a means toward new functionalities, including programmability [13], energy absorption [14], and shape transformation [15]. Moreover, it has been shown that highly deformable mechanical metamaterials can be designed to support the propagation of a variety of nonlinear waves with large displacement amplitudes [16-19], providing a convenient platform to study non-linear wave physics. However, to date the investigation of the nonlinear dynamic response of flexible metamaterials has been limited to one-dimensional (1D) systems. Here, we investigate the nonlinear dynamic response of a 2D flexible mechanical metamaterial comprising a periodic arrangement of squares connected at their vertices by thin ligaments [18,20,21]. Remarkably, our experiments and analyses reveal that several new physical phenomena emerge when subjecting the structure to low-energy impacts. First, our system supports the propagation of elastic vector solitons with three polarization components-two transla-tional and one rotational. Second, we investigate the effect of the anisotropy of the medium on the 2D nature of the soliton and find that such anisotropy plays a crucial role, leading to rich new nonlinear effects. For example, for propagation at 45°from the symmetry axis, a distinct focusing effect is observed. The pulse does not spread along either direction, suggesting that sound bullets may exist in our system. Moreover, we find that for most other propagation angles the wave separates into two distinct solitary modes, each following a principal direction of symmetry. While 2D nonlinear elastic waves have been previously studied in granular media [22-25], the monolithicity and printability of our system allow facile control of the architecture, and hence control of the system's nonlinear dynamic response, providing a powerful platform to explore, visualize, and engineer new wave phenomena. We start by studying experimentally the response of a 2D circular sample with 30 squares along its diameter when excited with an impactor [see Fig. 1(a)]. Our sample is fabricated out of polydimethylsiloxane using direct ink writing, an extrusion-based 3D printing approach [26].

A domain name can be succeeded and transferred to the legal successor.
- In the process of domain name succession a registrar must make the domain name transfer to new registrant;
- In this case the consent of the old owner is replaced by a succession document;
- A succession document must be a notarised authorised document in which the notary has officially confirmed the identity of the legal successors;
- Neither a marriage certificate, death certificate nor will would constitute such a document
- How long a domain can be succeeded? According to the domain regulation the deletion of the domain name is only possible after the 6 months have elapsed from the death. In this case EIF will send to the contacts (e-mail) of the domain a notice and make a proposal for submitting the documentation within 30 days. After 30 days the domain will be deleted. So it means that if the legal successors have the right to use aforementioned e-mail, they will get the notice.
- If a technical notation of prohibition restricts the transfer, the domain name cannot be succeeded to a new owner.

- Scientific Name:
- Astragalus and Oxytropis species
- Where Found:
- 300 different species in North America; those of toxic concern typically found from the Rocky Mountains westward and Western Texas into New Mexico, Arizona and Mexico.
- Toxic to Horses
- Toxic Principles:
- Clinical Signs:
- The plant is not very palatable, but will be eaten by animals with no other forage; once eaten, animals become "addicted" to the plant and will not consume other forage. The toxic principle has the most profound effect on the brain, and toxicity (known as "locoism") occurs after ingestion of more than 30% of the animal's body weight over a period of 6 weeks or longer. Clinical signs include a loss of sensory and motor nerve function, central nervous system depression, progressive loss of coordination, inability to eat and drink, as well as fetal death and birth defects. Affected animals may become excessively excitable and wild when stimulated, and may also become unaware of their surroundings.
If your pet ingested this plant, contact your local veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at _PHONE_.*

text: Chamber Tomb 12 at the site of Dendra, is most famous as being the tomb from where the Dendra Panoply came from, and like that panoply, dates to around the end of the 15th century BC. Unlike the rest of the chamber tombs at Dendra, this one is unique in not having a 'dromos' (a long narrow passage way) leading to the tomb proper, instead it had an entrance shaft. The roof of the chamber had collapsed, and it was also looted shortly before being excavated, which disturbed the skeleton of the single male burial. The only artefacts that were found in the area of the tomb that had been robbed were gilded rivet heads for a sword, a bronze cup handle, and part of a bronze comb. The rest of tomb housed, as well as the panoply, a bronze mirror, weapons, silver cups and various other vessels. The quality of the Mycenaean metalworking that was found in the tomb,as well as the nature of it, all add to the argument that whoever was buried here was of a high social status.

'Joan, Lady of Wales' by Danna R. Messer
Regular price £15.99
The history of women in medieval Wales before the English conquest of 1282 is one largely shrouded in mystery.
This book covers the misfortune of one of the most well-known royal woman of the time - Joan of England, the wife of Llywelyn the Great of Gwynedd, illegitimate daughter of King John and half-sister to Henry III. The story of Joan is a known, but little-told or understood, it was defined by family turmoil, scandal, divided loyalties and political intrigue. She was the first woman to be designated 'Lady of Wales', and was known as 'Siwan' to the people of Wales.


Example sentences for: jararaca
How can you use "jararaca" in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
 - While proteases, phospholipase A 2 and nucleotidases are responsible for the haemorrhagic lesions induced by Bothrops jararaca venom, most crotalid myotoxins are phospholipases and some exhibit proteolytic activities [ 12 ]. Crotalid snakes have a wide geographical distribution, this may contribute to differences in their venom composition [ 8 ]. Differences in venom composition may play a role in the effectiveness of the medicinal plants used for snakebites.
 - The in vitro myotoxicity of the crotalid venoms venoms ( Bothrops jararaca, Bothrops jararacussu and Lachesis muta ) and myotoxins (bothropstoxin, bothropasin and crotoxin) was neutralised by simultaneous exposure of isolated skeletal muscles to an aqueous extract of Eclipta prostrata or to wedelolactone, stigmaterol and sitosterol.
 - Ethanolic extracts of the aerial parts of Eclipta prostrata (Asteraceae) neutralised the lethal activity of the venom of South American rattlesnake ( Crotalus durissus terrificus ), as well as the myotoxic and haemorrhagic effects of B. jararaca, B. jararacussu and Lachesis muta snake venoms when mixed in vitro before i.p.
