Magdalene Bridge Cambridge
Compared to other River Cam bridges, Magdalene Bridge in Cambridge isn't a popular bridge. But, the bridge plays a vital role in the history of Cambridge city. The explicit architecture hidden underneath the eminent bridge is worth a watch.
This majestic bridge adjacent to the Magdalene College Cambridge is the only River Cam bridge potential to carry any transports, including the public transport buses. It is the most prominent public bridge.
A rejuvenating punting Cambridge trip allows us to sink into the history of this lofty bridge. Punting through the River Cam rewards us with a unique yet invigorating experience, adding to its popular demand. Moreover, a Magdalene College Punting trip is more convenient as it offers a parking lot too at Quayside. And, in this punting, it is the Magdalene Bridge that you witness both at the start as well as at the end of your punting trip.
A Glance into the Past
During the Roman reign, the Magdalene Bridge, monikered as Cam Bridge, marked the only entrance into the city. Thus, this bridge witnessed the city's advancement from the very beginning and played a crucial role in the trading and sustainability of the city. A popular myth suggests that the city got its name from the bridge. However, the city's name was officiated upon the river meandering in the city's heart, The River Cam.
The bridge is an illustrious link between East Anglia and London, dating back to Roman times, and it is still continued. There was a time when every route converged at this crossing point. However, the irony is the evolution of the bridge for the past centuries.
The first model of the site was accomplished with wood, up until 1754, when architect James Essex re-constructed the bridge stone for the first time. However, it was rebuilt twice before that with wood.
The first-ever cast iron Magdalene Bridge also called the 'Great Bridge', dates back to 1823 when the Norwich architect Arthur Browne designed it. The bridge was a single span of cast iron with iron railing decoration resting on ashler piers. It became a Grade II listed structure in 1969. The current Magdalene Bridge is the structure repaired and strengthened in 1982 by Browne itself.
Interesting Facts about Magdalene Bridge in Cambridge
With the proximities to the foundations of Magdalene College, the bridge was titled Magdalene Bridge. The paradox hidden in the name's pronunciation is that it is actually pronounced 'Maudlin Bridge'. The logical naming introduced many historical facts to this bridge. The bridge contributes an inevitable role in the stories of the Magdalene College and Cambridge University.
The Magdalene Bridge stands out among the first sites to cross the River Cam. It serves as a prominent role trading route and enhances the city's survival. While punting from north to south, the bridge is followed by the Bridge of Sighs, another architectural masterpiece.
Above all, this extensive bridge, notably near the River Cam, is unique in its features. The ingenious ridges underneath the bridge that aid punters to propel themselves along the river impart uniqueness to the structure.
The college resides on the River Cam banks on an idyllic spot adjacent to the dynamic Quayside. Summer in Magdalene is a popular hangout for students and locals to relish the view while sipping a beer or wine.
The college dates back to 1428, known as Buckingham College; it was originally a Benedictine hostel for student monks. The structure was deliberately located to the north of the river to detach the monks from the sinful temptation of city life.
In 1542, the college was named St. Mary Magdalene after St. Mary, a devoted biblical character. The odd pronunciation of Magdalene is said to be derived from one of the college benefactors, Thomas Audley.
The college set out history by being the first college to admit Jewish and Asian students. However, it is the last all-male college in Oxford or Cambridge as it accepted women students in 1988; it was the final college to admit girl students. Although there was a high objection from the male students in admitting the females, they were proven wrong with the increment in grade average in the following years. In addition, only the female alumni of Magdalene contributed Nobel prizes to the college.
The bridge used to be crowded every year on May 1, from dawn, for Oxford's May Morning celebrations. The recent tradition among the students was to jump off the bridge, despite the injury from low water levels in the Cherwell. When the injury traffic rose in subsequent years, the bridge routinely closed on the later May Morning.
Thus, the majestic Magdalene Bridge plays a vital role in the history and aesthetics of Cambridge city. Although all the 25 bridges(soon to be 26) have a remarkable role in the city's unique appeal and economy, Magdalene serves both the students and the public equally, thereby adding popularity in function.


name>
Disable dissection of heuristic protocol.
--enable-protocol <proto_name>[,<proto_name>,…]
Enable dissection of proto_name. Use a proto_name of ALL to override your chosen profile's default disabled protocol list and temporarily enable all protocols which are enabled by default.
If a protocol is implicated in both --disable-protocol and --enable-protocol, the protocol is enabled. This allows you to temporarily disable all protocols but a list of exceptions. Example: --disable-protocol ALL --enable-protocol eth,ip
--enable-heuristic <short_name>
Enable dissection of heuristic protocol.
-K <keytab>
Load kerberos crypto keys from the specified keytab file. This option can be used multiple times to load keys from several files.
Example: -K krb5.keytab
-n
Disable network object name resolution (such as hostname, TCP and UDP port names); the -N option might override this one.
-N <name resolving flags>
Turn on name resolving only for particular types of addresses and port numbers, with name resolving for other types of addresses and port numbers turned off. This option (along with -n) can be specified multiple times; the last value given overrides earlier ones. This option and -n override the options from the preferences, including preferences set via the -o option. If both -N and -n options are not present, the values from the preferences are used, which default to -N dmN.
The argument is a string that may contain the letters:
d to enable resolution from captured DNS packets
g to enable IP address geolocation information lookup from configured MaxMind databases
m to enable MAC address resolution
n to enable network address resolution
N to enable using external resolvers (e.g., DNS) for network address resolution; no effect without n also enabled.
t to enable transport-layer port number resolution
v to enable VLAN IDs to names resolution
--only-protocols <protocols>
Only enable dissection of these protocols, comma separated. Disable everything else.
-t (a|ad|adoy|d|dd|e|r|u|ud|udoy)[.[N]]|.[N]
Set the format of the packet timestamp displayed in the default time column. The format can be one of:
a absolute: The absolute time, as local time in your time zone, is the actual time the packet was captured, with no date displayed
ad absolute with date: The absolute date, displayed as YYYY-MM-DD, and time, as local time in your time zone, is the actual time and date the packet was captured
adoy absolute with date using day of year: The absolute date, displayed as YYYY/DOY, and time, as local time in your time zone, is the actual time and date the packet was captured
d delta: The delta time is the time since the previous packet was captured
dd delta_displayed: The delta_displayed time is the time since the previous displayed packet was captured
e epoch: The time in seconds since epoch (Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00)
r relative: The relative time is the time elapsed between the first packet and the current packet
u UTC: The absolute time, as UTC, is the actual time the packet was captured, with no date displayed
ud UTC with date: The absolute date, displayed as YYYY-MM-DD, and time, as UTC, is the actual time and date the packet was captured
udoy UTC with date using day of year: The absolute date, displayed as YYYY/DOY, and time, as UTC, is the actual time and date the packet was captured
.[N] Set the precision: N is the number of decimals (0 through 9). If using "." without N, automatically determine precision from trace.
The default format is relative with precision based on capture format.
-u <s|hms>
Specifies how packet timestamp formats in -t which are relative times (i.e. relative, delta, and delta_displayed) are displayed. Valid choices are:
s for seconds
hms for hours, minutes, and seconds
The default format is seconds.
DIAGNOSTIC OPTIONS
--log-level <level>
Set the active log level. Supported levels in lowest to highest order are "noisy", "debug", "info", "message", "warning", "critical", and "error". Messages at each level and higher will be printed, for example "warning" prints "warning", "critical", and "error" messages and "noisy" prints all messages. Levels are case insensitive.
--log-fatal <level>
Abort the program if any messages are logged at the specified level or higher. For example, "warning" aborts on any "warning", "critical", or "error" messages.
--log-domains <list>
Only print messages for the specified log domains, e.g. "GUI,Epan,sshdump". List of domains must be comma-separated. Can be negated with "!" as the first character (inverts the match).
--log-debug <list>
Force the specified domains to log at the "debug" level. List of domains must be comma-separated. Can be negated with "!" as the first character (inverts the match).
--log-noisy <list>
Force the specified domains to log at the "noisy" level. List of domains must be comma-separated. Can be negated with "!" as the first character (inverts the match).
--log-fatal-domains <list>
Abort the program if any messages are logged for the specified log domains. List of domains must be comma-separated.
--log-file <path>
Write log messages and stderr output to the specified file.
READ FILTER SYNTAX
For a complete table of protocol and protocol fields that are filterable in TShark see the wireshark-filter(4) manual page.
FILES
These files contains various Wireshark configuration values.
Preferences
The preferences files contain global (system-wide) and personal preference settings. If the system-wide preference file exists, it is read first, overriding the default settings. If the personal preferences file exists, it is read next, overriding any previous values. Note: If the command line option -o is used (possibly more than once), it will in turn override values from the preferences files.
The preferences settings are in the form prefname:value, one per line, where prefname is the name of the preference and value is the value to which it should be set; white space is allowed between : and value. A preference setting can be continued on subsequent lines by indenting the continuation lines with white space. A # character starts a comment that runs to the end of the line:
# Capture in promiscuous mode?
# TRUE or FALSE (case-insensitive).
capture.prom_mode: TRUE
The global preferences file is looked for in the wireshark directory under the share subdirectory of the main installation directory. On macOS, this would typically be /Application/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/share; on other UNIX-compatible systems, such as Linux, \*BSD, Solaris, and AIX, this would typically be /usr/share/wireshark/preferences for system-installed packages and /usr/local/share/wireshark/preferences for locally-installed packages; on Windows, this would typically be C:\Program Files\Wireshark\preferences.
On UNIX-compatible systems, the personal preferences file is looked for in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wireshark/preferences, (or, if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wireshark does not exist while $HOME/.wireshark does exist, $HOME/.wireshark/preferences); this is typically $HOME/.config/wireshark/preferences. On Windows, the personal preferences file is looked for in %APPDATA%\Wireshark\preferences (or, if %APPDATA% isn't defined, %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Wireshark\preferences).
Disabled (Enabled) Protocols
The disabled_protos files contain system-wide and personal lists of protocols that have been disabled, so that their dissectors are never called. The files contain protocol names, one per line, where the protocol name is the same name that would be used in a display filter for the protocol:
http
tcp # a comment
The global disabled_protos file uses the same directory as the global preferences file.
The personal disabled_protos file uses the same directory as the personal preferences file.
Name Resolution (hosts)
If the personal hosts file exists, it is used to resolve IPv4 and IPv6 addresses before any other attempts are made to resolve them. The file has the standard hosts file syntax; each line contains one IP address and name, separated by whitespace. The same directory as for the personal preferences file is used.
Capture filter name resolution is handled by libpcap on UNIX-compatible systems, such as Linux, macOS,

THE HISTORY OF THE PINEAPPLEThe pineapple—fierce on the outside, sweet on the inside—was given its English name for its resemblance to a pine cone. Christopher Columbus brought this native of South America back to Europe as one of the exotic prizes of the New World. In later centuries, sailors brought the pineapple home to New England, where a fresh pineapple displayed on the porch meant that the sailor was home from foreign ports and ready to welcome visitors. Pineapples were the crowning glory of lavish American banquets, and were considered the height of extravagant hospitality. Even George Washington grew them in his Mount Vernon hothouse.
No one knows when the first pineapple ("halakahiki," or foreign fruit, in Hawaiian) arrived in Hawai'i. Francisco de Paula Marin, a Spanish adventurer who became a trusted advisor to King Kamehameha the Great, successfully raised pineapples in the early 1800s. A sailor, Captain John Kidwell, is credited with founding Hawaii's pineapple industry, importing and testing a number of varieties in the 1800s for commercial crop potential. But it wasn't until James Drummond Dole arrived in the islands that the pineapple was transformed from an American symbol of friendship and exotic locales into an American household staple.

Due to its location the CWCBR is already intersected by numerous infra structural elements:
Major roads R27, N7, M19, M14, R307, R204, R207. The density of roads in the area is relatively low. Railways – Two lines serve the area. These are the Saldanha –Sichen line that transports ore to both the ISKOR steel works and the harbour at Saldanha Bay for export, and a north – south line.
Saldanha Bay. This is a natural deep water harbour. The Bay covers some 7500 hectares and is managed by PORTNET. It contains the iron ore export terminal, the SFF oil loading facility (see section 2.5), trawler docks and a naval base. Laaiplak and Velddrif. These are harbours at the mouth of the Berg River that cater for ocean-going trawlers serving the canning factories at each location. St Helena Bay. This is naturally protected bay with a harbour serving a canning factory. There are small boat harbours at Yzerfontein, Paternoster and and St Helena Bay. There are also yacht clubs with launching facilities at Saldanha Bay and Langebaan.
Two sets of transmission lines that form part of the National Grid high cross the area. These are the lines to Koeberg in the south, and north-south line and lines to the Saldanha Bay area. The area is densely covered with low voltage distribution lines.
The Koeberg nuclear power station is the only nuclear plant in Africa. It is a pressurised Water reactor (PWR) system, housed in a concrete containment building. The two reactors supply 1840 MW, that is in the order of 6% of the national electricity requirement. About 98% of other electricity used in the Western Cape is generated in other Provinces, principally Mpumalanga. Koeberg uses sea water for cooling, with consequential savings of fresh water. The returned seawater is however a potential thermal and chlorine pollution source on the coast (it is not a radiation threat). The quantity of seawater used would be increased if the prototype Pebble Bed Modulated Reactor is constructed. The 3000 hectare Koeberg Nature Reserve, established on the site, is an important conservancy.
Other energy sources.
Water pipelines. Main supply pipes are situated in the North, from Velddrift to Saldanha Bay, and in the south within the Cape Town metropolitan area.
An oil pipeline from the SFF oil facility in Saldanha Bay to the Milnerton refinery transects the CWCBR and that future pipeleins to convey gas and condensate from the Ibhubesi filed are being planned.
A water abstraction and purification plant operates at Silverstroomstrandthe Atlantis aquifer borehole scheme (Further smaller water treatment plants serve the settlements in the CWCBR. The Cape Town City Council's Water Services Development Plan notes that service levels of existing formal developed areas (excluding rural areas and informal areas) generally meets the minimum standards as required by the Water Services Act. Current water resources cannot meet future water demand of the CCT at the 98% supply assurance level. The building of the Skuifraam dam and water conservation are the strategies to reduce the shortfall.
Wastewater infrastructure consists of small and medium sized wastewater treatment plants serving the settlements within the CWCBR, plus associated pump stations and pipelines.


Modernizing the Weather Underground website with cloud object storage
This is part 2 of the Serverless approach to Weather Underground series, describing our team's steps over the past year to modernize our Weather Underground website.
Previously, I wrote in Part 1: A serverless approach to Weather Underground about the process of creating cloud functions to modernize our Radar Map products in order to move away from legacy backend code and APIs. The next phase of this migration effort is to generate and write all resulting assets to IBM Cloud Object Storage instead of AWS S3.
This article assumes that you have working experience with JavaScript and have some familiarity with cloud terminology. To understand the context, and the serverless architecture that object storage works with, read Part 1 of this series.
Estimated time
Take 20 minutes to read the sections of this article and consider some of the tools and approaches that we used at Weather Underground. Invest more time if you want to try to work with cloud object storage in your own environment.
Using IBM Cloud Object Storage with IBM Cloud Functions
To be able to read and write files to IBM Cloud Object Storage, you need to provision Object Storage as a service at Here are the steps to create the resource:
 1. At, click Create resource.
 2. Click Storage and select Object Storage.
 3. Give service an unique name, and click Create.
Here's an example of the "Weather Labs" service that I created:
screen capture of the object storage service in resource list
Then, after you have Object Storage provisioned, you need to create a bucket. A bucket is where files are stored. In the following example, you can see that I created a bucket for each of our environments (production, development, and staging):
screen capture of buckets for the object storage service
So you have the proper permissions to read and write to the Object Storage service, you need to go to Service credential and click New credential. Here's an example of what I did:
screen capture of credentials for the object storage service
You also need to update your /.aws/ credential file with your newly created access_key_id and secret_access_key like I did in the following example:
screen capture of credential file
Now that your Cloud Object Storage is set up, you can use the ibm-cos-sdk library to refactor Cloud Functions to work with it. This library is a fork of the AWS S3 SDK, and its API is fairly compatible and similar.
Run the following command to install ibm-cos-sdk to your project:
npm install --save ibm-cos-sdk
To initialize the Cloud Object Storage client, you need to provide additional configuration info (the endpoint, the ibmAuthEndpoint, and the serviceInstanceId) like the following example:
object storage configuration
Moving vanilla JavaScript serverless functions to TypeScript
While I was porting the cloud functions code to work with cloud object storage, I found it tedious that each action was a separate project and that I couldn't share code between them. I have been itching to move the existing code to TypeScript, and this issue gives me a very good reason to do so.
I decided to refactor the ES6 code to use TypeScript instead, for better code reuse and smaller bundle file sizes. I was inspired by Van Staub's post: Building IBM Cloud Functions with TypeScript. This section describes my experience learning how to use TypeScript for Cloud Functions and the benefits.
Because node-canvas, one of the dependent libraries, does not have TypeScript support yet, I am in a holding pattern for converting one of the actions to TypeScript until TypeScript support is added for that dependent library. Hopefully, that won't be long – it looks like that PR for node-canvas is about to be merged.
First, consider the reason for moving to TypeScript. Currently, I have each of the cloud functions written in ES6, and they are housed in a separate project, which makes reusing code difficult. To deploy the function, I basically zip up the entire project and push it up to the cloud. I use the following commands:
zip -r * && bx wsk action update ${package}/intellicast-animate-action - kind nodejs:8 - memory 2048 - timeout 280000
The project structure looks something like the following example:
project structure
You can see this is a standard node application structure, and the code and packages are repeated in each project. I want to move to TypeScript for the following reasons:
 - To take advantage of TypeScript features
 - To catch issues early in development and build time
 - To leverage tools and editors (such as autocomplete and intellisense)
 - To write safer, more efficient, and reusable code
Porting cloud functions to TypeScript
By porting the existing cloud functions to TypeScript, I was able to house all of the actions and share the same cos-client.ts library file among all the actions in a single project, as you can see in the following screen capture:
project structure with TypeScript
With the following webpack.config.js file, the number of entries depends on the number actions compiled and bundled:
const path = require('path');
const CopyPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');
const dist = 'dist'; // be aware 'dist' folder is also used for tsconfig output
module.exports = {
 entry: {
 'intellicast-action': './src/intellicast-action.ts',
 'intellicast-purge-action': './src/intellicast-purge-action.ts'
 output: {
 path: path.resolve(__dirname, dist),
 filename: '[name].js',
 module: {
 rules: [{
 test: /\.tsx?$/,
 use: 'ts-loader',
 exclude: /node_modules/
 test: /\.node$/,
 loader: "native-ext-loader"
 plugins: [
 new CopyPlugin([
 from: 'dist/cos-client.js',
 to: '../intellicast-animate-action/cos-client.js',
 toType: 'file',
 from: 'dist/params.js',
 to: '../intellicast-animate-action/params.js',
 toType: 'file',
 from: 'dist/messenger.js',
 to: '../intellicast-animate-action/messenger.js',
 toType: 'file',
 from: 'dist/intellicast-animate-action.js',
 to: '../intellicast-animate-action/index.js',
 toType: 'file',
 resolve: {
 extensions: ['.js', '.ts', '.tsx', '.json']
 mode: 'production',
 target: 'node',
 node: {
 __dirname: true
 externals: [{
 // pre-defined modules computed below
TypeScript not only helps produce a smaller codebase – it also generates a much smaller output bundle as a result of code reuse and tree shaking.
Here is the comparison between the two output file sizes:
output file sizes
Consider the TypeScript version of intellicast-action. After transpiling with tsc and bundling with Webpack magic, the output of intellicast-action.js is about 368k, as opposed to 2.8mb for the ES6 compressed version It's quite a difference in size.
Ease of deployment with manifest.yaml
I also adopted manifest.yaml for deploying the actions rather than using command lines as I have previously employed. Here is an example of my manifest.yaml file:
manifest.yaml file
Within manifest.yaml, there are references to environment variables (denoted by ${...}) for any sensitive data that the development team wants to hide from the public. I created an npm script to set up the necessary environment variables before running the deployment process with manifest.yaml. See the following example of the deploy.js script:
deploy.js script
The package.json scripts section contains the following code:
package.json scripts
If you run the following command, you see a result like the screen capture of weather-stage.
npm deploy
weather-stage actions screen capture
Benefits of typescript
If you're like me, after so many years of coding in JavaScript, sometimes it's hard to move away from it because it just feels so natural. That's why I wrote the cloud functions in JavaScript when I started working on this migration project for our Intellicast Radar Maps. As the code base grows in size, I started to feel the pain, and now I find myself repeating code because JavaScript doesn't naturally come with concept of classes, interfaces, and abstractions.
Of course, I can keep coding my cloud functions in JavaScript, but it requires a certain level of discipline as a developer to keep the code well structured and clean. More importantly, to ensure our code base remains pristine, other team members need to share the same discipline and adhere to the design pattern. Ultimately, someone needs to lay down some rules and be the gatekeeper. Otherwise the code base quickly gets out of control. I'm pretty sure we all have been there more than once throughout our programming careers!
TypeScript is a strictly typed language that serves as a guard rail by providing encapsulation and abstraction to reduce the number of common errors or bugs that get introduced by developers. We all should use unit testing, but it usually falls by the wayside due to our busy schedules. Since TypeScript is strictly typed, tools like editors can help us catch those errors (such as syntax and misspelling) early – either at development time or at build time – to avoid runtime bugs. Editors can also provide autocomplete and intellisense to help us to be more productive and efficient.
Cloud Object Storage APIs are compatible with the AWS SDK. I found that after I made the configuration and code changes that I described in this section, my Cloud Functions were able to read and write to Cloud Object Storage, and they worked as expected.
Overall, the transition from AWS S3 to

NameChum Pro 2.5.0
Secure online registration
NameChum Pro is an application for changing the name of files, folders and disks. It is useful for normal desktop usage, but becomes cool when works, fine, fast and in background, with thousands of files.
NameChum Pro can modify the name of objects by using one of offered options:
- Rename. Also NameChum automatically add a progressive number, as prefix or suffix, to changed names.
- Rename with numbers. NameChum rename your objects by using progressive numbers. You may select the starting number. You may also add custom prefix or suffix, to changed names.
- Custom prefix and/or suffix.
- Date. As prefix and/or suffix.
- Time. As prefix and/or suffix.
- Progressive number. As prefix and/or suffix.
Moreover NameChum Pro has other cool features for working on names:
- searches/replaces characters,
- removes any number of characters starting from whatever position into names,
- truncates start and/or end of names.
Through preferences you may decide:
- the default action,
- the default job method,
- whether NameChum Pro should scan directories,
- whether it should change names of directories,
- whether it should restart the progressive number at each session,
- whether it should try to set the extensions of names following the Internet Config "File Mapping" setting,
- whether it should set the extensions of names following only the Internet Config File Mapping" setting,
- up to four file type to ignore during the renaming,
- up to four file type to rename, ignoring the other ones.
Internet Config has a great Database containing extension: NameChum Pro allows you to use it, when you should insert a new suffix. You may easily modify this Database...
By using hot keys you may skip the "request" dialog and changing, on the fly, by using the default action. Moreover there's a key for setting the preferences before work.
After all you may use the enclosed Contextual Menu Extension for asking NameChum Pro to rename your selection.
NameChum Pro is Internet Config, Drag Manager and Navigation Manager aware, moreover it's Appearance savvy. It requires at least System 7 to run.

 TITLE: family (kinship): Family law
 SECTION: Family law
 In general, modern marriage is best-described as a voluntary union, usually between a man and a woman (although there are still vestiges of the arranged marriage that once flourished in eastern Europe and Asia). The emancipation of women in the 19th and 20th centuries changed marriage dramatically, particularly in connection with property and economic status. By the mid-20th century, most...

Almost all marriages are arranged by family elders on the basis of caste, degree of consanguinity, economic status, education (if any), and astrology. A bride traditionally moves to her husband's house. However, nonarranged...

The most common style of interface to a module is to use procedures, or object methods. So if you want a module to calculate a bunch of charges for a contract, you might have a BillingService class with a method for doing the calculation, calling it like this
A command oriented interface would have a command class for each operation, and be called with something like this
Essentially you have one command class for each method that you would have in the method-oriented interface.
A common variation is to have a separate command executor object that actually does the running of the command.
If you've used frameworks like Struts, you'll recognize that the action classes follow this style of operation.
So why do people like and dislike this approach? First off it's fair to say that a command oriented interface is rather more involved than a method oriented one. You have instantiate the command and pass them through for execution. This is more involved than just calling a method, which is why even fans of this approach only use them for significant interfaces (service layers, server-side logic, interfaces of major subsystems).
Command oriented interfaces have a number of benefits. One of the primary ones is the ability to easily add common behavior to commands by decorating the command executor. This is very handy for handling transactions, logging, and the like. Commands can be queued for later execution and (if the commands and their data are serializable) be passed across a network. Command results can be cached by holding results against a key synthesized from the command name and arguments.
Where I've seen complaints about commands, the biggest issue is due to a lot of duplicated logic in commands. This tends to happen most when the commands are Transaction Scripts that contain a lot of logic. This isn't necessarily an issue with using commands as opposed to methods; this problem is a general issue with Transaction Scripts. It may that command-oriented structure tends to exaggerate this, if only because many people feel that a class needs a page or two of code to be worthwhile, and thus end up putting more code in the command than should be there.
You'll notice I've used the word interface for this page. This reflects that the choice about using commands is primarily about the interface to clients rather than about the actual implementation of the command logic. It's perfectly reasonable to have command classes whose run method is just a single line calling out to another method. Doing this gives you all the advantages of commands, but allows you to keep the logic out of the command classes themselves. Such command classes have very few lines of code.
A common question with commands is what to return. Generic run methods need a general return type, such as Object or CommandResult, but you'll want a more specific type to get the results from running a command. One route is to define a result class for each command class and use a naming convention, so that CalculateChargeCommand would have a return type of CalculateChargeResult. Another route is to make the command store the results in the same object. In this case you would first run the the command, and then interrogate the command object for results.

ConnectionPoint.ControlType Property
Gets the Type of the server control with which a connection point is associated.
Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
public Type ControlType { get; }
/** @property */
public Type get_ControlType ()
public function get ControlType () : Type
Not applicable.
Property Value
A Type representing the control type.
The value of the ControlType property is often the WebPart type. However, because any type of user control or server control can participate in connections if it is properly enabled and placed in a WebPartZoneBase zone, the ControlType property can return one of these other server control types as well.
When server controls that are not WebPart controls are placed in a WebPartZoneBase zone, they are wrapped with a GenericWebPart object at run time so they can function as WebPart controls and participate in connections. But when such controls are involved in connections, the ControlType property value does not return the GenericWebPart type; it returns the type of the GenericWebPart object's child control, which is the type of the server or user control.
The following code example demonstrates the use of the ControlType property on both ProviderConnectionPoint and ConsumerConnectionPoint objects. This code example shows only the Web page that contains the code to access the property; for the full code required to run the example, see the Example section of the ConnectionPoint class overview.
The code in the Button2_Click method of the Web page accesses the ControlType property on each of the connection point objects and writes each value to a label. Execute the code by clicking the Connection Point Details button after the page is loaded in a browser.

Although performance measures encourage agreement in other disciplines, measures for state transportation and land use may engender disagreement among stakeholders. A literature review and a survey of 25 states and three metropolitan planning organizations identified 41 such measures. No single measure best quantifies effective coordination because this coordination supports potentially conflicting goals, such as better access management and increased local autonomy. Further, when measures are computed under four benevolent scenarios that each generate the support of some stakeholders—reduced transit costs, reduced congestion, increased local autonomy, and increased compact development—some performance measures indicate improvement and others do not.

BATTLETOME: BLADES OF KHORNE
All fear the coming of the Blades of Khorne. Cruel axes hew limbs and lop heads, and the blood flows thick enough to tear open reality itself. Bounding, red-skinned figures hurl themselves with bloodcurdling howls as the Bloodbound Warhordes march forth. Hell-forged blades thirsting for flesh and eyes blazing with hateful flame. The Daemons of Khorne have descend, and torrents of blood shall be spilled in the name of their god.
Battletome: Blades of Khorne collects together the rules and background you need to combine the Khorne Bloodbound and Daemons of Khorne into a single bloody fist, ready to smash down upon the worlds of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Manifestations of primal rage and senseless bloodlust, the daemons of Khorne are far from subtle, shunning the trickery and deceit of magic in favour of crushing physical might. His mortal followers fight with comparable ferocity, hoping to gain enough favour to tread the path of skulls and ascend to blood-soaked glory.
The 152-page hardback Battletome: Blades of Khorne contains:
- A detailed explanation of the machinations of the Blood God – how his kingdom in the nightmarish Realm of Chaos functions with his Brass Citadel at the dark heart, as well as guides to the daemons of Khorne and his mortal followers, the Bloodbound;
- The Ranks Infernal – an overview of the supremacist hierarchy of Khorne, from the Exalted Bloodthirsters of the First Host down to the Legions and Charnel Hosts;
- A particularly grisly look at the icons, weapons and heraldry of Khorne – images of grinding industry, descriptions of cruel, rough-hewn axes and the colours of the claws, horns and teeth that define the look of the Blood God's armies;
- The Ages of Blood – this is a timeline of key events and battles since the last days of the Age of Myth, in which Khornate armies have littered the landscape with corpses;
- Information and details on every daemon of Khorne, and every one of the Bloodbound; each of the faithfully bloodthirsty covered in grim detail.
A host of rules and abilities for Khornate armies both daemon, mortal and mixed:
- Allegiance Abilities allowing a Khorne army to draw from Battle Trait and Command Trait tables, featuring suitably brutal rewards (heal units after a kill, add to the Attack characteristics of weapons, leverage blind fury to re-roll attacks and much more);
- Blood Tithes – a Khorne army generates Blood Tithe points whenever a unit belonging to any player is destroyed. Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows! These can be expended for rewards from the Blood Tithe table; these rewards range from the calamitous to the apocalyptic…
- Artefacts of Power – potent tools of death and destruction wielded by mortal or Bloodbound Heroes in your army;
- Daemonic Gifts – deadly weaponry and powerful icons for daemonic Khorne Heroes in your army;
- Blood Blessings of Khorne – ancient rites and rituals performed by Khorne priests – these sacrifices allow them to call upon their infernal master for aid;
- 2 Battleplans – Gathering Bloodstorm and Skulls For the Skull Throne! – which epitomise and showcase the brutally efficient fighting style of the Blades of Khorne;
- 33 Warscrolls – rules for fielding mortal and daemonic Blades of Khorne miniatures in your games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, with 23 Warscroll Battalions providing extra rules and tactics for specific collections;
- Pitched Battle profiles featuring points valued for every miniature and Warscroll Battalion, for use in Matched Play games.


text: To compare the differences in water resource consumption among hydropower projects in the Lancang-Mekong River basin, we chose 37 hydropower plants as examples. Based on an analysis of remote sensing data, the water footprints of these hydropower plants in 2015 were analyzed using the improved water footprint method. The results revealed that the hydropower plants in Lancang River basin, which have the smallest water footprint of hydropower plants in China, indicating a high efficiency of electricity production. In contrast, the hydropower plants in the Mekong River basin located in Laos and Thailand had a larger water footprint, suggesting a low efficiency of electricity production and high consumption of water resources. Therefore, from the perspective of power generation efficiency and water resources consumption, the upstream section in China is more suitable for hydropower development, and the influence of water resources consumption in hydropower should be appropriately considered in downstream countries.

Seminar Talk: Toward Combining Causal Inference and Databases for Interpretable Data Science
Sudeepa Roy: Associate Professor, Computer Science, Duke University
ABSTRACT: Causal inference - estimating the effect of a treatment on an outcome - is critical for sound data analysis. It provides a means to estimate the impact of a certain intervention to the world that correlation, association, or model-based prediction analysis cannot provide. As a result, causal inference is indispensable in health, public policy, and other domains. In this talk, I will discuss how traditional database research can help causal inference research in AI and statistics, and vice versa. First, I will discuss an interpretable and scalable "matching" framework for causal inference that has comparable estimation accuracies as black box machine learning methods and uses efficient SQL query evaluations. Next, I will discuss extending standard causal inference to relational data, and using causal inference for explaining SQL query answers. I will conclude with an overview of our ongoing and future work for actionable and interpretable methods for different stages in the data analysis pipeline.
BIO: Sudeepa Roy is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at Duke University. She works broadly in data management and data science, which includes causal inference and explanations for big data, debugging queries, data repair, query optimization, data provenance, and uncertain data. Before joining Duke in 2015, she did a postdoc at the University of Washington, and obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. She is a recipient of the VLDB Early Career Research Contributions Award, an NSF CAREER Award, and a Google Ph.D. fellowship in structured data. She is a co-director of the Almost Matching Exactly (AME) lab for interpretable causal inference at Duke (_URL_

Raindrop: An Innovative Educational Tool for River Awareness
This project will create a new educational tool for river awareness in the United States through a mobile device application called Raindrop. Raindrop traces the flow of water from the user's home location to a downstream watershed location. Raindrop is part of a larger installation named FLOW (Can You See the River?), which joins the cognitive power of science with the affective power of the arts by creating virtual and physical spaces for river awareness in the White River watershed in Indianapolis, IN. In addition to the flow path, Raindrop functionality includes watershed context and physical marker mapping, flow path water quality indicators, utilization of NOAA weather feeds and alerts, weather and climate comparisons, storm event size implications, and guidance on watershed restoration actions. Artist-designed physical markers are strategically located in the watershed to direct the virtual user to physical areas of interest.

Study suggests potential to predict peanut allergy immunotherapy outcomes
Oral immunotherapy for peanut allergy induces early, distinct changes in immune T-cell populations that potentially may help researchers determine which people will respond well to the therapy and which immune mechanisms are involved in the response, a new study suggests. The work was funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, and conducted by scientists at Stanford University.
The researchers examined blood samples taken from peanut-allergic volunteers enrolled in an oral immunotherapy study. Participants consumed small, gradually increasing daily doses of peanut protein for 24 months with the ultimate goal of inducing long-term tolerance to peanut. Using advanced laboratory techniques, the scientists tracked changes in peanut-specific T cells in five participants during the first 18 months of peanut immunotherapy. They compared these results with those from blood samples taken before the start of immunotherapy and from healthy, non-allergic volunteers. Immunotherapy caused an increase in peanut-specific T cells, accompanied by a change in the distribution of T-cell subtypes over time. With treatment, T-cell subtypes normally associated with allergic responses diminished, while a novel T-cell population that likely would not mount an allergic response expanded.
These preliminary findings show the power of this approach to analyze and monitor allergen-specific immune cell changes during immunotherapy. Future studies with more patients will help determine whether this type of detailed T-cell analysis is useful for predicting which peanut-allergic individuals are most likely to benefit from this investigational therapy.


text: Tanglewood is on U.S. Highway 77 five miles northwest of Lexington in northwestern Lee County. The area was first settled in 1856 by the Rev. Hugh Wilson, who founded the String Prairie Presbyterian Church there. After the Civil War a small settlement began to develop around the church. The town is said to have been named by two sisters who were reading a book called Tanglewood Tales. A post office was opened there in 1880, and by 1884 Tanglewood had three churches, a public school, a steam gristmill and cotton gin, and a general store. The business district was originally a mile east of its present site. When the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway was built in the early 1890s it bypassed the town, so Tanglewood residents decided to move closer to the tracks. A new townsite was platted in 1894, and most of the structures were moved to the new location. Reverend Wilson's church was drawn by mules on large log rollers to its new site. After 1900 three general stores, three cotton mills, and a broom factory owned by Henry Kelley were in operation, and during the 1905–06 school year the public school enrolled forty-two students. In 1914 the population of Tanglewood was estimated at 100, but after the early 1920s the town began to decline. Membership in the Presbyterian church dropped, the church was dissolved in 1922, and its congregation moved to Dime Box. The population of Tanglewood was reported at seventy-five in 1925 but dropped to forty by the early 1950s, when the town had two businesses. In 1950 the school was consolidated with the Lexington Independent School District. The population of Tanglewood was estimated at forty-eight in the early 1970s, and at that time the community had a general store, an antique shop, a real estate office, and a Baptist church. The population was still reported as forty-eight through 2000.

In the arid and semiarid regions of North America, discrete precipitation pulses are important triggers for biological activity. The timing and magnitude of these pulses may differentially affect the activity of plants and microbes, combining to influence the C balance of desert ecosystems. Here, we evaluate how a "pulse" of water influences physiological activity in plants, soils and ecosystems, and how characteristics, such as precipitation pulse size and frequency are important controllers of biological and physical processes in arid land ecosystems. We show that pulse size regulates C balance by determining the temporal duration of activity for different components of the biota. Microbial respiration responds to very small events, but the relationship between pulse size and duration of activity likely saturates at moderate event sizes. Photosynthetic activity of vascular plants generally increases following relatively larger pulses or a series of small pulses. In this case, the duration of physiological activity is an increasing function of pulse size up to events that are infrequent in these hydroclimatological regions. This differential responsiveness of photosynthesis and respiration results in arid ecosystems acting as immediate C sources to the atmosphere following rainfall, with subsequent periods of C accumulation should pulse size be sufficient to initiate vascular plant activity. Using the average pulse size distributions in the North American deserts, a simple modeling exercise shows that net ecosystem exchange of CO2 is sensitive to changes in the event size distribution representative of wet and dry years. An important regulator of the pulse response is initial soil and canopy conditions and the physical structuring of bare soil and beneath canopy patches on the landscape. Initial condition influences responses to pulses of varying magnitude, while bare soil/beneath canopy patches interact to introduce nonlinearity in the relationship between pulse size and soil water response. Building on this conceptual framework and developing a greater understanding of the complexities of these ecohydrologic systems may enhance our ability to describe the ecology of desert ecosystems and their sensitivity to global change.

A descriptive study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge regarding umbilical cord stem cell banking among staff nurses at selected Hospitals of Haridwar Uttrakhand A non-experimental research design was used assess the knowledge regarding umbilical cord stem cell banking among staff nurses. The sample consists of 104 staff nurses of selected hospitals who were available at the time of study. Purposive sampling technique was used for selection of samples. The data was collected using self-structured questionnaire. Results depicted that majority of staff nurses had inadequate knowledge regarding umbilical cord stem cell banking. The mean knowledge score was found to be 16.5±6.16. The results also indicated knowledge of staff nurses was found to be significant with years of experience of staff nurses. Hence the study concluded that knowledge of staff nurses were influenced by years' experience

Technology Review The I.DOT Liquid Handler is a bench-top system that uses a unique droplet-based technology
Advancing Mass Spectrometry with Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT)
Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT) and Open-Port Sampling Interface (OPSI) are two innovative technologies that revolutionize mass spectrometry, offering high-throughput, precise, and non-contact sample handling for real-time analysis of challenging samples.
Mass spectrometry is a robust analytical tool in an assortment of scientific domains, including chemistry, biology, environmental science, and medicine. It has seen considerable improvements in sensitivity, resolution, and throughput throughout time. Over the years, advancements in mass spectrometry have significantly improved its sensitivity, resolution, and throughput. One such groundbreaking innovation is Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT), a cutting-edge liquid handling system that has revolutionized sample preparation and data acquisition in Open-Port Sampling Interface (OPSI) mass spectrometry.
A synergy: I.DOT and OPSI
Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT) is a liquid handling system that enables precise, non-contact dispensing of nanoliter to microliter volumes of liquids. These systems excel in delivering small liquid droplets with high precision, reducing sample consumption, and minimizing cross-contamination risks. I.DOT allows for highly accurate and reproducible delivery of samples, reagents, and standards directly onto the mass spectrometry target, eliminating the need for manual pipetting and reducing sample consumption.
The Open-Port Sampling Interface (OPSI) is a revolutionary sample introduction approach that allows for direct, real-time sample analysis without any prior separation or extraction. OPSI employs an open atmospheric pressure intake through which samples are continually introduced, allowing for direct analysis of challenging mixtures.
This dynamic duo has the potential to transform analytical capabilities by allowing fast and precise sample insertion and analysis.
The I.DOT allows researchers to automate sample preparation, process large sample sets quickly, and increase data consistency in mass spectrometry techniques. For example:
Boosting the efficacy of Mass Spectrometry sample preparation
Sample preparation is a key step in mass spectrometry that can have a substantial impact on the quality and consistency of the results. I.DOT automates the accurate transfer of samples and reagents onto the mass spectrometry target, hence expediting the sample preparation workflow (Berkel et al, 2017 Furtwängler et al., 2022). It's non-contact dispensing reduces the possibility of cross-contamination, resulting in accurate and reproducible findings even with small sample amounts. Furthermore, I.DOT's high-throughput capabilities allow researchers to handle large numbers of samples quickly, hence accelerating up data acquisition and analysis.
Improving Quantitative Analysis
In quantitative mass spectrometry analysis, internal standards and calibration curves are frequently used. The accurate dispensing capabilities of I.DOT allow for the exact delivery of standard solutions, guaranteeing the creation of valid calibration curves. Moreover, I.DOT improves the accuracy and precision of quantitative mass spectrometry analysis by minimizing variability in sample preparation, making it particularly useful in the fields of Pharmacokinetics, Metabolomics and Lipidomics, Environmental and Forensic Applications.
Performing Sustainable Experiments
Conventional liquid handling techniques frequently call for substantial sample volumes, leading to higher consumption and the waste production. I.DOT's non-contact dispensing reduces sample utilization, which is especially beneficial for valuable or scarce samples. Researchers may save samples while acquiring high-quality mass spectrometry data by delivering precise nanoliter droplets, making I.DOT an environmentally friendly alternative.
State of the Art
Screening enzyme libraries for modifying enzymes and identifying key domains required for improved activity is tedious and time consuming. Enzymatic biodegradation of polymers, such as polyamides (PA), has the potential to cost-effectively reduce plastic waste, but enhancements in degradation efficiency are needed. Recently, the combination of immediate drop on demand technology (I.DOT) liquid handling systems coupled with open port sampling interface-mass spectrometry (OPSI-MS) was employed for a high-throughput screening of PA6 and PA66 hydrolysis by 6-aminohexanoate-oligomer endohydrolase (nylon hydrolase, NylC). This _URL_ approach needed just less than 1 µL sample solution, a single sample was analyzed in as little as eight seconds and was suitable to 96-well plate layouts for automated processing (Fig. 1). This new methodology shall be used to evaluate the enzymatic hydrolysis of synthetic enzyme libraries, which will consist of thousands of individual samples.
Figure 1. The diagram represents the demonstration of _URL_ technique used to screen enzyme library. The bottom traces show ion chromatograms, with distinct colors indicating different samples.
The integration of Immediate Drop on Demand Technology (I.DOT) liquid handling devices and Open-Port Sampling Interface (OPSI) mass spectrometry has established an entirely novel analytical paradigm. Researchers can now enjoy fast, precise, and non-contact sample handling while conducting real-time analysis of challenging samples. This remarkable synergy opens new opportunities in a variety of scientific disciplines, ranging from metabolomics and pharmaceutical research to environmental monitoring and forensics. As technology advances, the combination of I.DOT liquid handling with OPSI-mass spectrometry has the potential to promote breakthrough research and discoveries in the next years.

Utah Coffee Expressions takes pride in partnering with Roasters that support and protect the future of coffee and cacao.
Farmland that was once used to grow these resources are being abandoned due to farmers not being able to thrive with the difficulties of producing such a high quality bean. We support and represent the roasters that chose to dedicate their lives to making quality products and support the farmers using sustainable farming techniques.
To ensure the sustainability of coffees and cacaos we must give back to these farming communities.
The success of coffee and cacao is directly related to the quality of life of the farmers and their families. The harvest is only a few months out of the year thus the farmers are forced into looking elsewhere to provide for their family. The nations producing these high quality beans struggle with food poverty and coffee farmers in particular are faced with as many as eight months of hunger every year.
Our Roasters belong to and support economic diversification projects that are trying to break the poverty in coffees and cacao farming by providing a means of alternative resources of income to supplement the annual harvest. Teaching the communities how to cultivate and sell other crops that can be sold locally as well as raising animals that can be sold or consumed to ensure a year round income. Working with organizations that take special interests in ways of promoting a positive balance for fair working conditions, fair pricing along with education for conserving the land as well as the environment.
We believe in healthy products, and that starts with a healthy farming family.
Coffee has always been a start to my day but I had never really considered the lives of the families that labor to begin my day. It has only been from researching the roasters that I have found out what lies beyond my morning cups as well as the chocolate we eat. I will forever enjoy these with a far different admiration.

European Party Politics and Gender : Configuring Gender-Balanced Parliamentary Presence
Sammanfattning: In the late 20th century, the proportions of women and men elected into European national parliaments became increasingly equal. Political parties shape these outcomes by selecting and fielding candidates in elections. Scholars recognise that parties' actions do not occur in isolation; yet there is little systematically comparative research about the configurations of conditions in which these actions occur. Previous research also often relies on studies of West European parties. This doctoral thesis investigates how conditions inside and outside parties combine to create gender-equal parliamentary presence. The thesis examines the extent to which Western European experiences apply to Central and East European parties, and explores the conditions that stand in the way of progress towards gender balance. It presents three empirical studies. The first is a qualitative comparative analysis of 57 West European parties during the late 1980s, a period in which the trend towards equality accelerated. The second study applies the knowledge produced in the first analysis to cases in Central and Eastern Europe. It uses an original dataset covering six parties in four EU member states in a structured focused comparison. Finally, the thesis presents an in-depth case study of an unexpectedly gender-balanced Latvian party. The analyses show that gender-equal parliamentary presence is achieved when conditions inside and outside parties combine, and that no condition is necessary or singularly sufficient. The absence of gender-equal parliaments is sustained by combinations other than the absence of those that lead to gender-balance. Operationalisations from Western Europe turn out to be largely applicable to cases in Central and Eastern Europe. These latter cases also demonstrate that organisational instability need not impede women's presence in elected office.

The overall objective of this project was to develop appropriate intervention measures for EU-ASEAN support actions addressing initiatives related to biodiversity conservation for the period 2014-2020, that also contribute to poverty reduction in the long term. A detailed strategy was elaborated in this regard. As part of the strategy two interventions focusing on climate change and biodiversity in the ASEAN context were elaborated. One focused on support for ASEAN cooperation for biodiversity conservation through the ACB Program and the other one on peatland management support within ASEAN. Cross-cutting issues of importance include i) Good governance to effectively safeguard and improve biodiversity, ii) enhancement of ASEAN Heritage Parks and improved management of peatlands, iii) integrated approach focusing on the synergies between biodiversity conservation and peatland programs.

179. Function pointers and subtraction
Section: 7.6.6 [expr.add] Status: TC1 Submitter: Mike Miller Date: Nov 1999
7.6.6 [expr.add] paragraph 8 explicitly allows subtraction of two pointers to functions:
If two pointers point to the same object or function... and the two pointers are subtracted...
However, 7.6.6 [expr.add] paragraph 2 requires that two pointers that are subtracted be pointers to an object type; function pointers are not allowed.
Being able to subtract two pointers to functions doesn't seem terribly useful, especially considering that subtracting two pointers to different functions appears to produce undefined behavior rather than simply a non-zero result, according to paragraph 6:
Unless both pointers point to elements of the same array object, or one past the last element of the array object, the behavior is undefined.
Proposed resolution (10/00):
Remove the words or function from paragraph 8.

Adjustable Robust Two-Stage Polynomial Optimization with Application to AC Optimal Power Flow
In this work, we consider two-stage polynomial optimization problems under uncertainty. In the first stage, one needs to decide upon the values of a subset of optimization variables (control variables). In the second stage, the uncertainty is revealed, and the rest of optimization variables (state variables) are set up as a solution to a known system of possibly non-linear equations. This type of problem occurs, for instance, in optimization for dynamical systems, such as electric power systems. We combine tools from polynomial and robust optimization to provide a framework for general adjustable robust polynomial optimization problems. In particular, we propose an iterative algorithm to build a sequence of (approximately) robustly feasible solutions with an improving objective value and verify robust feasibility or infeasibility of the resulting solution under a semialgebraic uncertainty set. At each iteration, the algorithm optimizes over a subset of the feasible set and uses affine approximations of the second-stage equations while preserving the non-linearity of other constraints. The algorithm allows for additional simplifications in case of possibly non-convex quadratic problems under ellipsoidal uncertainty. We implement our approach for AC Optimal Power Flow and demonstrate the performance of our proposed method on Matpower instances.

$2750 a month for every adult, guaranteed? Switzerland's considering it
Five cent coins are pictured in the air in front of the Federal Palace in Bern, Switzerland, during an event organized by the committee proposing a minimum monthly household income of 2,500 Swiss francs for every adult citizen living in Switzerland.
Denis Balibouse/Reuters
Here's a deal: Each month the Swiss government will send every adult a check for about 2,500 swiss francs (roughly $2,750) — no matter their need or income.
Player utilities
At least, that's the proposal before the Swiss people.
In response to growing economic inequality, a grassroots movement in Switzerland collected the 100,000 signatures needed to secure a national referendum on their basic income proposal. Swiss law states any petition that receives at least 100,000 signatures will be voted on nationally.
"It is not as kooky as it sounds," says Karl Widerquist, a Georgetown University professor who has researched basic income policy for a decade. "It's the idea of putting a floor under people's income, the idea that income doesn't have to start at zero."
Basic income is a social security system in which the government regularly gives each citizen a sum of money — with no conditions.
Widerquist points to one example of a similar system here in the United States. With Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend, the government divides up some of the state's yearly oil revenue and gives a portion to each resident. The amount fluctuates year to year, from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand.
But the proposed measure in Switzerland would be much greater, adding up to more than $30,000 in guaranteed annual income for each adult.
In recent studies in Africa and India, Widerquist said giving people unconditional monetary gifts often increases labor.
"A basic income, in a way, frees you to improve your skills and your efforts and do something that actually makes a bigger contribution to economy," he says.
No date has been set for the national referendum on Switzerland's guaranteed income proposal.

A: For convenient debugging, every network IP camera uses the same default IP address. But each camera's MAC address is not the same, and the operating system will cache IP and MAC address information of the former network camera, so the second network camera with the same IP address will can't visit.
