The International Order of Alhambra is a fraternal organization of Catholic men and women (age 18 years and older) dedicated to assisting persons that are intellectually disabled or handicapped.
The Order's mission is to:
- Provide assistance, education and residences for persons developmentally disabled;
- Identify, mark, preserve, and commemorate Catholic historical places, events and persons of international importance;
- Promote fraternalism and sociability among its members and their families.
The International Order of Alhambra focuses its primary efforts on providing assistance to persons intellectually disabled through its charitable programs and projects. It perpetuates Catholic heritage through its Historical Memorials program, an initial purpose and goal of the Order. And, the Order places emphasis on fraternalism and sociability to provide a cohesive force of human and financial resources to achieve its purposes.
As a Catholic organization the members of the Order coordinate their efforts and assistance programs with respect the respective Bishops under whose auspices such activities may fall – to accomplish the following for persons intellectually disabled, and to:
- Provide assistance to private schools chartered to serve the needs of persons intellectually disabled so that they may serve their students in need of both secular and religious special education and vocational training.
- Provide assistance to establish residences for persons with developmental disabilities, and to provide assistance to respite care facilities and programs for their parents, giving preference to private or public projects endorsed by Catholic Bishops.
- Provide assistance through the Order's scholarship program to educate undergraduate students studying to become special education teachers, and provide assistance to persons engaged in giving care and comfort to persons developmentally disabled.
- Provide human and/or financial resources to enhance the quality of life for persons intellectually and developmentally disabled by participating in programs and activities like Special Olympics; recreation, field day programs and summer camps; field trips, boat rides, zoo trips, circus trips, picnics, Christmas parties, dinner dances, etc.
The Historical Memorials program has existed from the founding days of the Order of Alhambra, as reported in the foreword of "The Order of Alhambra: Its History and Its Memorials," by Reverend Vincent A. Lapomarda. In there it is noted "…just as the very name of the Order recalls a crucial turning point in the history of religion and culture among the Catholics of Europe, so Alhambra was founded to perpetuate the glorious moments in the history of religion and culture among Catholics in North America."
Accordingly, to this day, a major purpose of the International Order of Alhambra is to identify, mark, preserve, and commemorate Catholic historical places, events and persons of international importance. Over 180 such memorials have been established in Canada and the United States. A registry of these memorials and their locations is maintained by the Headquarters Office permanent staff.
Fraternalism and sociability are dominant characteristics of the International Order of Alhambra. These characteristics are specifically identified in one of the purposes of the Order, i.e., "To promote social, fraternal and intellectual associations and through its Caravans provide a practical means to form enduring fellowship and friendship among its members." These characteristics of the members of the Order are perpetuated to provide camaraderie and enjoyment while raising funds to achieve the Order's goals and objectives of assisting persons with intellectual disabilities.


Remote Training Site Warner Springs, CA
Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape [SERE] training is conducted at the US Navy's Remote Training Site in Warner Springs, CA. West Coast Navy/Marine Corps personnel who risk capture during wartime (e.g. aviators) undergo SERE training at the Remote Naval Training Facility in Warner Springs, CA.
The students gain the knowledge and confidence necessary to survive in a hostile environment until rescued. SERE instructions covers dealing with fatigue, fear, hunger, thirst, temperature, pain and boredom. The students are divided into elements, and spend days practicing map reading, navigation, fire building, water procurement and shelter building.
The students learn about survival techniques in an outdoor, hands-on environment. They learned different water procurement and purification techniques, constructed solar stills, and setup transpiration bags for water collection. They identified and ate edible plants. They also learned how to trap small game and field dress a rabbit for cooking and eating. They construct shelters with parachute material and camp out overnight in them. Students learn how to start fires using a variety of fire starting tools and techniques, and practice ground to air signalling using ground panels and Navy smoke flares.
Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape Camp is located in a remote area near the community of Warner Springs in the northeastern San Diego County at an elevation of about 3200 feet. The Camp consist of a headquarters area with an administrative building, several staff barracks building, a wastewater treatment plant, and a training compound.
SERE Camp is a hundred percent dependent upon two wells for its water supply: Main Well (Well No. 1) and backup well (Well No. 2). The camp has no water supply connections with any other water systems. Storage at the camp is provided by the following three water storage tanks: 5,000 gallons raw water storage tank, 1,000 gallon hydro-pneumatic tank, and a 42,000 gallon bolted steel water storage tank.

The filtering tool selects items in the current list according to one or more input terms. A term is loosely or precisely associated with a category (PROTEIN, TISSUE, etc…). Categories correspond to the entities labeling the coloured buttons visible in all GlyConnect pages. They are also listed in the table at the bottom of this page. The following examples are applied to the Proteins
page, but the can be applied to any "list" page.
When inputting two terms or more, the delimiter is &.
Example : to select all human glycoproteins expressed in kidney from the Protein view
type in : kidney & human.
When input terms belong to the same category, they are processed with a logical OR.
: If serotransferrin & APOH
is typed in, since the two terms are in the PROTEIN category, the resulting list includes all protein entries matching either serotransferrin OR APOH
When input terms do not belong to the same category, only items sharing all terms are returned, applying a logical AND
If serotransferrin & human
is typed in, since the two terms are in the PROTEIN category and TAXONOMY category respectively, the resulting list includes all protein entries matching both serotransferrin AND human
Specific criteria search
Some terms (e.g.: blood) may appear in names of tissue, protein or disease or be included in an article title. To refine filtering with targeted terms and avoid a loose selection that generates no or unexpected results, the term category should be named using its corresponding key

Coronavirus : Belgium outlines its exit strategy
Press Release of the Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès
Based on the recommendations of the Group of Experts in charge of the Exit Strategy (GEES), the National Security Council met today,Friday 24 April, at Egmont Palace to determine the coronavirus exit strategy. As a reminder, since 12 March, the federal government and the federated entities have together taken a series of measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 in our country. Encouraging indicators such as the reduction in the number of daily hospital admissions or the flattening of the mortality curve now make it possible to gradually start phasing out these measures. However, the government emphasises that the virus is still with us and remains dangerous for the population.
The strict confinement measures will remain in place until 3 May at the earliest. Following that date, Belgium may start phasing out the measures, if circumstances permit.
The measures set to remain in force
It is important to emphasise that certain measures will remain in force, regardless of the de-confinement phase we find ourselves in. Measures such as:
- Limiting contact between people;
- Respecting social distancing;
- Good hygiene practices, also called "barrier gestures".
Covering mouth and nose
The covering of mouth and nose will form part of good practice during this de-confinement phase. This can be done with a so-called comfort mask or an alternative means of protection such as a scarf or a bandana. This will be:
- strongly recommended in public places;
- compulsory on public transport from the age of 12. This measure will enter into force on 4 May.
A face mask alone does not provide adequate protection, it must be considered in the context of the wider use of face masks, hygiene measures and social distancing.
The federal government and the federated entities will ensure that each citizen will receive at least one standard cloth protection to cover the mouth and nose free of charge. People will also be given two "filters" to put into masks already bought or made. Surgical masks and FFP2 masks will continue to be reserved for healthcare professionals, residential care centres, residential facilities and the security services.
Employers, including those in the public sector, are responsible for providing protective equipment to their employees where necessary.
The use of public transport
Gradual phasing out will inevitably lead to an increase in the use of public transport. To avoid having too many people on public transport, people are recommended to:
- travel by their own means of transport (walking, cycling, car, etc.), in order to give priority to those who need public transport the most;
- avoid rush hours.
In terms of work organisation, the Group of Ten has validated a general Guide to Good Practice. This will serve as the basis for concluding sectoral or company agreements. It will also serve as a reference for a progressive relaunch of the economy under safe and secure conditions for all.
Lockdown exit strategy
1. Phase 1 – a (4 May)
- For industries and B2B services
Remote working will remain the norm. If companies are unable to comply with social distancing requirements, they will be able to compensate by following a series of health recommendations, including wearing a mask.
- For shops and the hospitality industry
The rules remain the same, with the exception of fabric shops, which, given their important role in the production of mouth masks, are allowed to be open.
- For the health care sector
In recent weeks, the epidemic has had a significant impact on the provision of healthcare, both in primary care and in hospitals. Working groups are already investigating how they can respond to the need to continue to provide the best care to people infected with Covid-19 while gradually and safely increasing access to general and specialised health care. The aim is to ensure that everyone regains 'normal' access to health care as soon as possible and that the medical infrastructure needed to care for people suffering from the virus is not overstretched.
- As far as daily life is concerned
Outdoor physical activity will be allowed for a maximum of two people in addition to those living under the same roof, provided social distancing is observed.
It will also be allowed to practice other outdoor non-contact sports. However, access to changing rooms, communal showers and cafeterias will remain prohibited.
2. Phase 1 – b (11 May)
- For shops
This phase will allow all shops to reopen at the same time, without discrimination on the basis of size or sector, in order to give everyone the same chances of success. This will, of course, be subject to certain conditions which will be determined in consultation with the sectors and the social partners.
There are three types of conditions with regard to:
- organising the work,
- receiving customers,
- and restricting access to the store to avoid overcrowding.
Shops relying on physical contact (e.g. hairdressers) will continue to remain closed in this phase.
- For daily life
The future of sports competitions will be clarified in the short term.
3. Phase 2 (18 May)
- For shops
It will be investigated whether and under which conditions professions relying on physical contact can resume their activities, subject to conditions.
- In terms of culture
The opening of museums may also be considered during phase two, subject to conditions. For example, through a ticketing system.
- For daily life
Team sports will be possible outdoors, but only in a club context and with respect for certain instructions.
- In terms of education
Lessons will resume gradually as from 18 May. Not all students will go back to school immediately.
Each community will be responsible for executing this decision in its own territory, in consultation with the education sector.
Certain avenues will also be explored, such as:
- the possibility of holding private meetings at home;
- the possibility of allowing for more people during weddings and funerals;
- allowing more than two people to be active outdoors together;
- the possibility of organising day trips to certain regions of the country.
4. Phase 3 (from 8 June at the earliest)
Multiple points will be considered:
The possibility of gradually reopening restaurants and, in a later stage, also cafes, bars and the like, all under strict conditions.
Various summer activities such as trips abroad, youth camps (to be decided at the end of May), internships, tourist attractions also small-scale open-air events.
However, major events will remain prohibited until 31 August.
Conditions to succeed:
Testing and tracing will play an important role in ensuring that the exit strategy takes place under the best possible conditions.
As far as testing is concerned, the intention is to offer a laboratory test to all people who need it, i.e. anyone who has symptoms and who the doctor suspects may be infected, people who have been highly exposed to the virus by their profession and people who have had close contact with an infected person.
Our laboratories will have 25,000 PCR tests by 4 May, and capacity could be increased to 45,000. To support the execution of the tests, both public and private laboratories as well as the federal platform will be deployed.
Medical equipment will continue to be delivered and sufficient stock is available.
Serological tests, tests that detect immunity, will also play an important role.
For tracing, a coordinated strategy will be set up between the Regions and Communities, with the support of federal experts.

test
Usage
(require-extension test)
(import test)
(test 4 (+ 2 2))
Description
This is designed to be as simple and friendly as possible. The basic interface
 (test [<name>] <expected-value> <expression>)
is really all you need to use. It will catch errors and print informative failure messages, including the name (which defaults to an abbreviated form of the test expression), the source, and the line number information of the failed expression. Equality is checked with EQUAL?, unless the expected value is inexact, in which case it checks to be sure the percentage difference between the result and expected value fall within the TEST-EPSILON parameter of each other. This is because it almost never makes sense to test inexact numbers with EQUAL? or =, and usually you'll want a single epsilon throughout a range of tests.
Two other test macros are
 (test-assert [<name>] <expression>)
 (test-error [<name>] <expression>)
which simply assert that the expression is non-false and results in an error, respectively.
Group reporting, including elapsed time and pass percentages, can be achieved using
 (test-begin [<name>])
 (test ...)
 ...
 (test-end [<name>])
where the group name is optional in either case.
You can also group in a single lexical scope (and also establish nested groups) with the TEST-GROUP macro
 (test-group <name>
 (test ...)
 ...
 )
The name for TEST-GROUP is not optional.
As a convenience there is a TEST-EXIT procedure, which exits the process with a status of 0 if all tests in all groups have passed, and with an optional numeric status (defaulting to 1), if there have been any failures or errors.
 (test-exit [<failure-exit-code>])
That's all. All other aspects of testing are controlled by parameters.
Parameters
The following parameters can be used to override the reporting behavior, for example if you wanted a GUI interface instead of the default textual reporting.
Environment
Often you'll be working on a change or new feature, and while the code is changing the test suite remains relatively constant. However, it's a pain to recompile the test suite every time, and to re-run the entire suite when just working on one area, or even when you just want to run a single test by name.
The parameters allow filtering, but it can be a pain to setup an interface to this or to recompile with different settings. So for easy use, by default the parameters can be initialized from environment variables.
CURRENT-TEST-FILTERS can be set by the environment variables TEST_FILTER, a regexp which test names must match to be run, and TEST_REMOVE, a regexp of tests not to run. For example, if you have your test suite in the file test-foo.scm, compiled to test-foo, and you only want to run the test named "test-foo-with-bells-on," you could do so with
 $ TEST_FILTER=bells-on ./test-foo
The test name defaults to the source expression, which can also be handy for quick filtering. For instance, if in the same test suite you knew that you had broken the "flurble" data structure, you could filter out all tests using it with
 $ TEST_REMOVE=flurble- ./test-foo
For more structured filtering you can also filter by group. The CURRENT-TEST-GROUP-FILTERS parameter can be initialized with the TEST_GROUP_FILTER and TEST_GROUP_REMOVE environment variables in the same way as above.
You can also default the CURRENT-TEST-VERBOSITY parameter to #f by setting the TEST_QUIET environment variable.
test tries to automatically determine if your terminal supports ANSI colors and uses them (sparingly, mostly so that failures and errors stand out). You can force this on or off by setting the environment variable TEST_USE_ANSI variable to 0 or 1.

How to reduce diode detector weak signal insertion-power-loss to less than that possible when the input is impedance matched
By Ben H. Tongue
Quick Summary: Diode detector insertion power loss can be reduced below the value achieved under impedance matched conditions provided it is operating below its LSLC point. The optimal conditions are: (1) The output audio load resistance equals twice the RF source resistance. (2) The Saturation Current and Ideality Factor of the diode are such that the very-low-signal output resistance of the detector (axis-crossing resistance, aka Rd, of the diode) equals the output load resistance. These conditions insure an impedance match at the audio output and a 1:2 mismatch at the RF input (source resistance = half the RF input resistance of the diode). Please bear in mind that the LSLC point is a point on a graph of output DC power vs input RF power of a diode detector system. It is not a point on a graph of DC current vs voltage of a diode. Info on the LSLC point is available in Article #15a.
It has usually been assumed by myself and others that power loss in
a two port device (here, a crystal set) is minimized when its input
and output ports are impedance matched. This article will show
that this is not true in the case of a diode detector operating
at a signal power level well below that of its region of essentially
linear operation. It is true, however, when a strong signal
(well above the LSLC point) is being received. In the linear region,
audio output power is proportional to RF input power. That is,
for every dB of change in input power there will be one dB change of
output power. In the lower power region, called the'square law'
region, a change of one dB in input power results in a two dB change
in output power. See Article #15a, Figs. 2 and 3 for info on the
LSLC point of a diode detector.
Definition of terms:
Rd: Resistance of a diode at its axis crossing. Rd=0.0257*n/Is at 25 degrees Celsius
It has been asserted in these Articles that the RF input and audio output resistances, Ri and Ro, of a diode detector, approach the same value and equal 0.0257*n/Is = Rd ohms at room temperature when the input signal strength is low enough. See Article #0, part 4, Article 4, part 2 and Article 16 for information on Is and n, and ways of measuring them.
Fig. 1 represents a conventional diode detector. The tank circuit T is shown with no internal loss. A real world tank will have loss that can be represented by a shunt resistor connected across it. For convenience of analysis it is assumed that this loss resistance is absorbed into the source V1, R1 (For a more complete explanation, see Article #1, first paragraph after the third schematic.). Assume that the impedance of the source (antenna) and load (headphone) are transformed to equal values (R1 = R2) and select a diode that has an Rd equal to them. This will result in a reasonable impedance match at both the input and output if the signal power level places operation below +10 dB of the linear-to-square law crossover point. Little of the input power directed towards the detector will be reflected back to the source and most all of the output power from the detector will be absorbed in the load, R2. If the diode detector were a linear device with linear input and output resistances, this impedance-matched condition would result in the least detector power loss (greatest sensitivity) obtainable. It would seem clear that the crystal set detector could not be made more sensitive. Actually, not so! Very weak signal sensitivity can be improved by about 2 dB by appropriate mismatching at the input. This provides a rather hard-to-hear increase in volume, but every little bit helps.
In the impedance matched condition discussed so far, R1=Ri=Rd and R2=
Ro. Simple math shows that the detector input voltage Vi will
equal one half the internal source voltage V1. If we create
an impedance mismatch between the source resistance R1 and the detector
input resistance Ri by replacing the diode D with a different one having
1/2 the saturation current, Vi will increase. The reason is that
the detector input resistance Ri is now twice R1. The voltage
divider made up of R1 and Ri will reduce Vi to only two thirds
of V1, making the new value of Vi=4/3 the old value. Since the
detector is operating in square law mode, the internal source voltage
in the detector that drives its output terminals will be (4/3)^2=1.77...
times as much as before. This higher voltage will be divided down by
the voltage divider action of the now twice-as-large diode output resistance
and R2 to give an output voltage 1.185 as large as before. This
equates to an output power 1.476 dB greater than in the original impedance
Theoretical calculation and SPICE simulation show that that in a crystal set having equal values for R1 and R2, the diode parameters that give to lowest insertion power loss at low signal power levels fits the equation: R1=R2= 2*(0.0257*n/Is) at room temperature.
Now let us look at the effect on Ri and insertion power loss if Ri does not match R1. Look at Fig. 2.
Look at Fig. 3. At the -95 dBW end of the graph, one can see that changing Is from 38 to 19 nA, and keeping R1 and R2 at at 700k ohms reduced the detector insertion power loss by about 1.5 dB (Series 1 to series 2). This comes from the increased voltage, Vi, at the detector input. Raising the output load resistance from 700k to 1400k ohms reduces the mismatch loss at the output to approximate. zero and reduces the overall insertion power loss by another approximate. 0.5 dB for a total improvement of 2.0 dB at low input power levels (Series 3). The detector insertion power loss at the -50 dBW input level is is also reduced by 0.5 dB because of the elimination of the output impedance mismatch.
Practically speaking, what does all this mean? Mainly, improved theoretical understanding of diode detectors. (see last bullet point)

Investigation of the effect of REM sleep deprivation on epileptic seizures caused by pentylenetetrazole in mice
Aim: To investigate whether different periods of rapid eye movement sleep deprivation (REM SD) contribute to seizure susceptibility, hippocampal oxidative status and balance of inhibition-excitation in the acute epilepsy model.
Methods: REM SD was performed using the modified multiple platforms method on adult male BALB/c mice. Pentylentetrazol (PTZ) was injected to induce seizures and hippocampal total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), and glutamate levels were measured using the ELISA method.
Results: PTZ-induced seizures following 8 h and 72 h REM SD significantly reduced the hippocampal TAS levels, but did not affect the TOS levels. In REM SD groups, especially after 8 hours of REM sleep loss, there was a significant increase in glutamate in PTZ induction. The hippocampal GABA levels were increased by PTZ-induced seizures after 72 h REM SD. PTZinduction after 8 hours of RAM SD leads to a significant increase in the seizure duration.
Conclusion: It can be speculated that the REM SD can contribute to seizure susceptibility by changing the oxidant-antioxidant balance and excitatory and inhibitory tone in the hippocampus.

The best Grass Seed for your baseball field
Seed for your Baseball Field
The right sports turf seed makes all the difference
Choices and Decisions
Do you seed or sod? This section covers seeding new areas or overseeding existing turf.
Check local agriculture experts for type of grass most suited for your climate. But here's the basics for baseball field seed:
90/10 blue fescue mix.
This is 90% fescue and 10% bluegrass. This is a nice mix for outfield grass and common at most fields maintained by a park district. After mowing, this usually is 2 inches or longer.
80/20 blue rye mix.
This is 80% perennial rye and 20% bluegrass. It is sometimes called sports turf mix. This mix is good for infields if not the entire field. This can be mowed as short as an inch long.
bermuda grass seed.
In the hot climates this works for the entire field and can be mowed to 3/4 inch long.
Sources and Suppliers
Suppliers I've used and am satisfied with: Horizon, Sierra Pacific Turf Supply. There are others of course, but these folks provide bulk supplies to landscapers and park districts and I've found that they understand what baseball fields need.
Tips & Hint for seeding
 1. In the northern climates the cooler grasses work best - rye, bluegrass, fescue.
 2. In the southern climates the hot grasses work best - bermuda.
 3. In the transition climates it is sometimes a combination depending on the time of year. For example, bermuda in the hot summer, but overseeded with perennial rye throughout the season and heavily before winter. Pro teams use Chaparral perennial rye.
 4. Seed needs to be kept moist and in contact with dirt to germinate. That's why you drag the infield turf after seeding in the 10 step turf maintenance program. This works the seed and topdressing together and down to the soil. Keep the top 2 inches of topsoil moist for the seedlings.
 5. When seeding a larger area, till in topsoil/compost, roll flat, lightly rake to scarify, spread seed, lightly rake, roll flat, fertilize, and then start a watering program. Keep the seeds moist. Once they germinate and sprout you can cut back on watering a bit.
 6. Overseed rate is 6 to 8 pounds per thousand square feet. One 50 pound bag is good for a high school size infield. One 50 pound bag can overseed 2 little league infields.
 7. Apply seed to new areas at double the rate as overseeding.
Mistakes to avoid
 1. Don't just lay the seed on top of bare spots. It will float to the edges when you water or the birds will eat it. Either way you still have a bare spot.
 2. Find the best lawn in your neighborhood. Quite often the maintenance and growing practice there is NOT what you'd do for a sports field. You not only want your turf to look nice, but it needs to stand up to competitive play. Home lawns rarely are the same as a sports field.

Friendly number
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
In number theory, friendly numbers are two or more natural numbers with a common abundancy index, the ratio between the sum of divisors of a number and the number itself. Two numbers with the same "abundancy" form a friendly pair; n numbers with the same "abundancy" form a friendly n-tuple.
Being mutually friendly is an equivalence relation, and thus induces a partition of the positive naturals into clubs (equivalence classes) of mutually "friendly numbers".
A number that is not part of any friendly pair is called solitary.
The "abundancy" index of n is the rational number σ(n) / n, in which σ denotes the sum of divisors function. A number n is a "friendly number" if there exists mn such that σ(m) / m = σ(n) / n. "Abundancy" is not the same as abundance, which is defined as σ(n) − 2n.
"Abundancy" may also be expressed as where denotes a divisor function with equal to the sum of the k-th powers of the divisors of n.
The numbers 1 through 5 are all solitary. The smallest "friendly number" is 6, forming for example, the "friendly" pair 6 and 28 with "abundancy" σ(6) / 6 = (1+2+3+6) / 6 = 2, the same as σ(28) / 28 = (1+2+4+7+14+28) / 28 = 2. The shared value 2 is an integer in this case but not in many other cases. Numbers with "abundancy" 2 are also known as perfect numbers. There are several unsolved problems related to the "friendly numbers".
In spite of the similarity in name, there is no specific relationship between the friendly numbers and the amicable numbers or the sociable numbers, although the definitions of the latter two also involve the divisor function.
Examples[edit]
As another example, 30 and 140 form a friendly pair, because 30 and 140 have the same "abundancy":
The numbers 2480, 6200 and 40640 are also members of this club, as they each have an "abundancy" equal to 12/5.
For an example of odd numbers being friendly, consider 135 and 819 ("abundancy" 16/9 (deficient)). There are also cases of even being "friendly" to odd, such as 42 and 544635 ("abundancy" 16/7). The odd "friend" may be less than the even one, as in 84729645 and 155315394 ("abundancy" 896/351).
A square number can be friendly, for instance both 693479556 (the square of 26334) and 8640 have "abundancy" 127/36 (this example is accredited to Dean Hickerson).
Status for small n[edit]
In the table below, blue numbers are proven friendly (sequence A074902 in the OEIS), dark red numbers are proven solitary (sequence A095739 in the OEIS), numbers n such that n and are coprime (sequence A014567 in the OEIS) are left black, though they are known to be solitary. Other numbers have unknown status and are highlighted yellow.

Solitary numbers[edit]
A number that belongs to a singleton club, because no other number is "friendly" with it, is a solitary number. All prime numbers are known to be solitary, as are powers of prime numbers. More generally, if the numbers n and σ(n) are coprime – meaning that the greatest common divisor of these numbers is 1, so that σ(n)/n is an irreducible fraction – then the number n is solitary (sequence A014567 in the OEIS). For a prime number p we have σ(p) = p + 1, which is co-prime with p.
No general method is known for determining whether a number is "friendly" or solitary. The smallest number whose classification is unknown is 10; it is conjectured to be solitary. If it is not, its smallest friend is at least .[1][2] Small numbers with a relatively large smallest friend do exist: for instance, 24 is "friendly", with its smallest friend 91,963,648.[1][2]
Large clubs[edit]
It is an open problem whether there are infinitely large clubs of mutually "friendly" numbers. The perfect numbers form a club, and it is conjectured that there are infinitely many perfect numbers (at least as many as there are Mersenne primes), but no proof is known. As of December 2018, 51 perfect numbers are known, the largest of which has more than 49 million digits in decimal notation. There are clubs with more known members: in particular, those formed by multiply perfect numbers, which are numbers whose "abundancy" is an integer. As of early 2013, the club of "friendly" numbers with "abundancy" equal to 9 has 2094 known members.[3] Although some are known to be quite large, clubs of multiply perfect numbers (excluding the perfect numbers themselves) are conjectured to be finite.
Asymptotic density[edit]
Every pair a, b of friendly numbers gives rise to a positive proportion of all natural numbers being friendly (but in different clubs), by considering pairs na, nb for multipliers n with gcd(n, ab) = 1. For example, the "primitive" friendly pair 6 and 28 gives rise to friendly pairs 6n and 28n for all n that are congruent to 1, 5, 11, 13, 17, 19

What Does American Mean Essay
Posted by admin as Example papers
What Does American Mean Essay Example
The meaning of "America" or "Amerrique" in the Mayan language is "Land of the wind" or "Lands of strong winds". In other words lands of natural power. Historian Phillip Cleason for more than 20 years was trying to prove that during the 20th century such aspects of political ideology like belief in freedom, self – government under law and equality, and of course ethnic diversity – America is usually called "melting pot", were the dominant themes in discussion about American identity. He wanted also to underline that during all different historical periods of the American history these both themes were quite salient. Let's say during the American Revolution, the term "American Identity" had more to deal with political ideology than with ethnic diversity. In 1890s – 1920s was a massive wave of immigration to the USA and the primary position would be given to the ethnic diversity on the contrary. Within 1940s – 1960s with the raise of Nazism and totalitarianism again the fist place was occupied by the question of American identity.
To study the ethnical differences in the meaning of being American is important on the basis of several reasons. First of all we would be able to reveal whether some uniform American identity is appropriate for the minds of people with different ethnical backgrounds. Usually the very term "American" is used in different contexts, like commercial advertisements for example. And a range of misunderstandings if not conflicts may appear if the meaning differs for all the ethnical groups. So America is to be a kind of "psychic glue" to bind the people all together across both ethnical and even intellectual territories. All of the ethnic groups have private language, cultural, traditional ethnicities, like for example Vietnamese and Mexican, but real American can include all these ethnical differences and gather into some common vision and appreciation. There is no place for any kind of intolerance, let it be either that which applies to Jews, gays, Catholics, Mexicans, Hispanics or the Irish. Strictly speaking an American is the one, who lives either within the borders of or is culturally affiliated with the United States of America, an American is someone who is a citizen of the USA. And what the citizens of the country determine is – democracy. American democracy makes a wager on its citizens – with freedom comes obligation and with liberty comes duty. Democracy is not fixed like monarchy, it is dynamic in its development, it is supposed to reflect the will of each generation of Americans. So we may come to the conclusion that the democracy is the most worthy from of government. American citizens are blessed to be part of this nation, but they have to show a passionate engagement, which means:
- demonstrate more interest in the issues of the state and nation;
- vote in elections;
- volunteer for some charitable organizations;
Join or start some organizations, which reflect the views and positions of their members and so on.
All the citizens are responsible for the tending their own democracy, for transmitting it to their children. No matter how powerful or rich America is or tends to become, we would never call it a "finished project", and it is constantly aborning. And to take part in this process, one should not only be a person living on the territory of the country, one should be patriotic. To give the simplest definition to this notion – a patriot is a person, who loves, supports and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion. Though, at the moment there is a certain usual stereotype of a real American – like baseball-cap, steak without vegetables, beer-bellied and with some cowgirl, but in reality Americans are recognized as people who work hard at what they do and take pride in what they are doing for their land and freedom. Being on the one hand proud of the place of his birth he is not to be discrimatory against others. An American is able to believe what he wants to believe in, this by the way makes some people come to America. And one can not considered not American, if he speaks accented English, American nation can not be called only Christian nation, as there are millions of Jewish Americans, some numbers of Muslim Americans, some other smaller groups of different faith, who are not to give up their faith to be considered Americans. But the fact, that different people view Americans in a different ways cannot be denied.
Much of the history of America is based on the country's fight for freedom. Nowadays, the USA are the symbol of democratic government and freedom, which is of course one of the central themes of the American identity. Freedom should mean, that every American has his right to speak freely, to choose his religion, and the right to express himself in any way. If we try to follow the appearance of this country we should go back to the year 1776, when the USA were founded. Settlers got the chance to come to a "New World", seeking for better lives there. On of the first really important documents was Declaration of Independence. It was the beginning of all the rights of a citizen. Though after the 11th of September these rights were to be considered as privileges, but terrorist attacks are to bring all the people of the whole country together to stand for their rights together. The country is still fighting the Islamic terrorists, whose strategy is to find und use the weapon of mass destruction, to bring greater damage on the population, to destroy the society and its culture and economy. This is actually the second lesson after that of the Vietnam War. American people were not fighting for some empire or individual in that war, but for freedom, this time the Americans are again set at war and have to defend their country from the attacks of terrorists.
There was one more document, displaying the rights and regulations of each individual living in America – The Bill of Rights. Everybody has the right to stand for his believes, and accept any religion he prefers. One can have a gun, if he has a permission, has right to vote (after he is over 18). So freedom can really help to define the notion "American", the Declaration of Independence and Constitution are the two documents that if in effect, can designate freedom for the Americans as a key point. We could say, that being an American means freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of choice, having free market and democracy; have a goal, a dream, there's even such a idiom "American Dream". If one is American he is allowed to be diverse and have no fear of persecution for that. How one could be identified that he is not an American, if he has freedom to be what he wants.
So to sum up all the above mentioned, to answer the question – what an American mean – we could draw out the following points:
- Being an American does not mean just coming to America to live there, it means supporting and defending the American democracy and the country itself, taking constant efforts to make the country better;
- Be educated and take part in the cultural, technological, scientifical development of the state, know its history;
- Following the established Constitutions and laws;
- Living in no fear of terrorism, any kind of social aggression, political enmity;
- Realizing that your live in Americathe so called melting pot – and you are to take no neglection against any individual, who is different either in color of the skin or in his views or religion believes.

What is a good FIM score?
This score is a value that ranges between 18 and 126. The FIM score can also be further broken down based on its motor and cognitive components. The motor component of the FIM score can range between 13 and 91, while the cognitive component can range between 5 and 35.
How do I get FIM certified?
Credentialing and Re-Credentialing
Once you complete a workshop to become credentialed as a FIM or WeeFIM clinician, you must complete and pass a credentialing FIM or WeeFIM examination with a score of 80+%. After the workshop, you will be allocated a FIM ID.
What is the FIM used for?
Objective. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is an 18-item measurement tool that explores an individual's physical, psychological and social function. The tool is used to assess a patient's level of disability as well as change in patient status in response to rehabilitation or medical intervention.

Olivier Garcia "Formula One"
The exhibition presents a selection of designer furniture by Olivier Garcia. The artist offers a very personal interpretation of materials and colors of the pinnacle of the automotive world: Formula 1. The "Formula One" concept originated from a simple idea: using the materials and fabrics of the automobile industry as an inspiration for interior design. Why? As the artist explains: "I've always been fascinated by the world of F1, with its state-of-the-art technology and its bright colors. So recently I decided to start incorporating these colors into my furniture".

The gas detection camera technique has a wide range of potential uses in the electrical distribution and chemical industries, all of which have positive benefits for the owner of the plant. It is an accepted Alternate Work Practice in the Method 21 leak detection procedure and has clear time, safety and cost benefits over the conventional VOC meter or sniffer method. Although limited to a certain extent by environmental conditions, the camera has proven many times that it can identify leaks at some distance thereby reducing the cost of surveys by removing the requirement to provide access to every potential leak path and permitting surveys to be completed on energized electrical equipment.
The long wave gas detection camera is particularly suited to the following industries:
Electrical Utility – A large amount of the equipment used in the distribution of high voltage electrical power uses Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) as an insulating gas. This allows the equipment to be more compact and protected from the elements inside substations. The long wave gas detection camera is extremely sensitive to SF6.
Petrochemical – The industries that make hydrocarbon substances using base feedstocks from the oil refining processes either by conversion processes or further separation that is not normally carried out at an oil refinery. Some of the chemicals used or made in these industries have good visibility using the long wave gas detection camera.
Chemical – The production of non-hydrocarbon or inorganic chemicals from base feed stocks. These are often a mixture of batch and continuous processes that yield very high purity products. The long wave gas detection camera has a good response to some chemicals found in this sector of industry.
Service Providers – Increasingly companies are contracting out services for leak detection and repair (LDAR). LDAR service providers currently using non-imaging gas detection methods will see a dramatic improvement in productivity and gas detection capability using a gas detection camera.
The primary market for the long wave gas detection camera to date is the electrical distribution industry and specifically the detection of Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6). SF6 is used extensively in the electrical distribution industry as an insulating gas in high voltage switchgear and transformers. It is a potent greenhouse gas with a 'global warming potential' (GWP) of 23,900 and an atmospheric lifetime of 3,200 years. The GWP means that a release of 1kg of SF6 into the atmosphere has the same impact as a release of 23,900 kg or 23.9 tons of CO2. To put this in perspective a company that purchases 1 ton per year of SF6 as top-up gas is releasing 1 ton per year through leaks. This is the equivalent of 23,900 tons of CO2. To produce this amount of CO2 you would have to drive an average sized car just over 149 million miles (239 million km). That's the equivalent of driving 311 times to the moon and back or 5964 times round the equator! Conversely, a company that reduces its emission of SF6 to the atmosphere by using a gas detection camera to locate and fix leaks is improving the environment by the same amount as taking 11,950 average cars off the road.
Typical SF6 Filled Substation Equipment
Leak paths found on electrical distribution equipment are fewer than in the process industries. The most common are flanges, bushings, bursting discs and valve stems. Leaks may be due to poor installation, disturbance during planned maintenance or failure of the sealing parts due to age.
The long wave gas detection camera has proved to be highly effective at detecting very small leaks. The pressures used in switchgear and transformers are relatively low which results in very small leak rates. In addition, the operating temperature of the equipment is generally close to ambient. The result is a low thermal contrast between the leak and the background. Despite this, the camera is capable of detecting leaks as small as 0.25 kg/year and has had success in both indoor and outdoor substations. As with the mid wave camera, the long wave camera is effective at some distance which not only removes the requirement to provide access to all potential leak paths it also permits leak surveys to be completed when the equipment is energized.
The applications for the long wave gas detection camera in these industries are very similar to the applications for the mid wave gas detection camera in the petrochemical industries but the reasons for the surveys may be slightly different. In the petrochemical industry the main drivers for leak detection surveys are the protection of the environment, reduction in lost product and the elimination of potentially flammable leaks. These priorities also apply in the chemical industries but the chemical compounds visible with the long wave gas detection camera are generally more toxic. Protection of personnel may therefore become an additional reason for performing leak detection surveys.
Vent pipes on a petrochemical plant
The long wave camera is also ideal for detecting several refrigerant gases. These include gases that are used for domestic and commercial refrigeration and automotive air conditioning. The gas camera is most effective when used at the manufacturing stage for these items rather than the maintenance stage. New product design testing and production sample testing can lead to reduced failure rates improving reliability of the finished product and reducing the emission of potentially harmful gases to the atmosphere.
Co-workers identify the location of a gas leak
Governments are becoming more aware of the risk posed to the environment by release of SF6. There is a general increase worldwide in the use of gas filled substation equipment and no alternative substance is currently known or used. Consequently, they are providing a combination of reward and punishment for the reduction of losses and the release of gas respectively. Some governments are enforcing reduction in SF6 release by means of fines; some are advocating encouraging the reduction of leaks by giving financial incentives such as tax breaks for demonstrated reduction in consumption. The cost of SF6 is also increasing which further increases the financial motivation to eliminate leaks.
The long wave gas detection camera has a detector response of 10-11 µm which is further spectrally adapted to approximately 10.5 µm by use of a cooled filter. This makes this particular model of camera most responsive to Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) as well as many gases used in the chemical industry and several common refrigerant gases. The camera can detect many gases but it has been laboratory tested against 8 which are:
SF6 leak from a high voltage insulator
In addition to the laboratory tested gases there are 18 additional gases that the camera is known to detect. These are:

|66th Annual Western Snow Conference
|Proceedings of the 66th Annual Western Snow Conference
|Western Snow Conference
|SNOTEL, Weather network, Wind data
The Utah Mesonet has been under development during the past several years. The Mesonet has been designed tohelp forecasters in the Intermountain West obtain current weather conditions in a timely fashion. All available surface reports from manned and automated stations are collected, archived, and displayed at 15-minute intervals. While attention is focussed on meteorological parameters such as temperature and wind, precipitation information is also obtained from sensors installed by the National Weather Service near the Wasatch Mountains as well as information from Snow Telemetry (SNOTEL) sites and data collected by the Colorado River Basin Forecast Center.Operational and experimental forecasts of precipitation during January-May 1997 are evaluated over the western United States. The sensitivity of model forecast skill as a function of model horizontal resolution is assessed. Models that resolve the underlying terrain in greater detail (such as the 10 kIn and 29 kIn versions of the Eta model developed at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction) provide better forecasts of orographic precipitation during winter.

The Great Chia Glossary
This guide will act as a glossary for many of the concepts utilized in Chia. If you are familiar with how Bitcoin transactions work, a lot of this will be familiar.
 - Coin (TXO/transaction output) - A coin stores value. All coins are generated as the output of a transaction or a coinbase reward or fee target. A coin is spent exactly once, allowing its value to go into other coins, and is then permanently destroyed. Each unspent coin is locked with a ChiaLisp program which is that coin's puzzle, and whoever has the information to solve that puzzle is the person who can spend that coin. The most basic puzzle has a public key and accepts a solution which contains a list of conditions signed by the corresponding private key, so only the owner of the private key can unlock the coin and spend it.
 - Unspent Coin (UTXO/unspent transaction output) - A coin which has been created but not yet spent and hence is storing value. Unspents (UTXO set/unspent transaction output set) - This is the set of all unspent coins on the network. It is used to check if a transaction is valid, acting as a lookup for the puzzles. It maps a coin ID to a birthdate in blockheight. A transaction must contain a reveal of the information used to calculate the ID in order for it to be possible to validate because the unspents doesn't contain that information, only hashes which can be used to validate it.
 - Coin ID/CoinName (TXO ID/transaction output ID) - The ID of a coin in Chia is generated by hashing the primary input ID, puzzle hash, and amount concatenated in that order. This is very different from Bitcoin which uses much more data to form the TXO ID, restricting what smart contracts are capable of. (See also: SegWit)
 - Primary Input/Parent - When a coin is created the coin that was used as input in the transaction is designated as the primary input. This is used to create the coin ID. If more that one coin is used up as an input in a transaction then one of the coins is designated the primary input, and the others simply reinforce the transaction.
 - Spend/CoinSolution - A spend is a reveal of a coin's ID, along with the full puzzle code, and a solution to be ran with the puzzle. The result of a spend is determined by the returned Op Constraints after running the puzzle with the solution.
 - Spend Bundle - A spend bundle is a collection of spends grouped together with an aggregated signature to be sent to the network.
 - ChiaLisp - ChiaLisp is the Turing-complete functional language which the puzzles for spending coin are programmed in. For more information see our CLVM Guide
 - Puzzle (Scriptpubkey) - A ChiaLisp program which specifies the behaviour of a coin when it is spent. A puzzle can either reject a solution or output a set of constraints.
 - Solution (Scriptsig) - This is some ChiaLisp which is passed to the puzzle for evaluation when a transaction is submitted. For more information about how transactions work, and how solutions can generate new coins check out this guide
 - CLVM - The CLVM is the ChiaLisp Virtual Machine which is the sandboxed environment that puzzles and solutions are run in. The CLVM only runs the compiled minimal version of ChiaLisp, though a compiler can convert the higher level ChiaLisp to the compiled minimal version. See more about that here
 - Aggregated Signature/AggSig - Aggregated Signatures allow us to condense multiple signatures into a single aggregated signature, such that if we know a public key and value we can verify if it exists inside of the single aggregate. This uses BLS non-interactive aggregation.
 - Prepend Signature - Prepend signatures are used so that we can retain metadata about the structure of an aggregated signature. TODO: Expand
 - Op Constraints/Conditions - Constraints are returned by the puzzle when it's passed the solution. If all of the returned conditions are met then a transaction is valid.
 - Wallet - Software written to interact with transactions. Chia uses Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets (HD Wallets). This means that they can generate many different public keys that are all valid and verifiable as unique to that wallet. A wallet contains a coin if it possesses the information necessary to unlock that coin and create a transaction which spends it.
 - Puzzle Generator - A wallet will use a Puzzle Generator to define how it wants to receive transactions. Most wallets will want to generate the standard transaction, however by storing a ChiaLisp program that generate a puzzle, all a Sending Wallet needs to do is ask the Recipient Wallet what its Program Generator is and then run that to create the puzzle to lock the coin up with.
 - Puzzle Generator ID - This is the hash of a wallet's puzzle generator. A wallet can do a hash-lookup and see if it already knows the source code for that puzzle generator. If not, it will request the full source code and store that information in its lookup table.
 - Smart Contract - A smart contract is a specialised ChiaLisp puzzle which locks a coin up and enables complex blockchain interactions.
 - Coloured Coins - Coloured Coins are a special kind of chia coin which are created by users. A coloured coin is a uniquely marked subset of chia which can't be forged and can be linked to other assets.
 - Authorized Payees - Authorized Payees is a smart contract that means that Wallet A can give Wallet B some money, but Wallet B is only allowed to spend that money in ways that Wallet A has explicitly authorised.
 - Decentralised ID - A decentralised ID is a smart contract that enables a wallet to act as an ID which can create messages to other IDs. Based on the work of the identity foundation.

Production volumes have been steep due to low interest rates. Lenders across the industry are overwhelmed by the surge in demand and have no choice but to find ways to scale up to handle the influx of applications. Servicers are also looking for ways to scale on their end, as borrowers continue to reach out with questions about forbearance, loss mitigation and next steps.
However, the low-rate environment won't last forever, and both lenders and servicers need to be able to keep their costs down while managing volume fluctuations once things start to normalize. This white paper will explore how lenders can increase capacity, and why they should now.

Eunuchs are men who have had their testicles removed in order to make them more efficient servants or soldiers, as they are not distracted by lust or sexual matters. The practice is considered cruel in Westeros, where eunuchs are mistrusted; men are typically only castrated or gelded in the Seven Kingdoms as punishment for serious crimes such as rape. It may also be employed as a means of physical or psychological torture. However, it is considered acceptable in many parts of Essos, as part of the vibrant slave trade which exists in many areas. Slave-eunuchs are a common sight in Essos, and the famous warrior-eunuchs produced in Slaver's Bay known as the Unsullied are among the most disciplined soldiers in the known world.
- Note: When a male has his testicles removed, the term is "castration". When a male has his testicles and also the shaft of his penis removed, the term is "emasculation". Colloquially, however, both practices tend to be referred to as castration.
In the series
Grand Maester Pycelle expresses distrust of and disgust with Varys, and is annoyed that a eunuch is serving on the king's small council. When discussing the death of Jon Arryn, Pycelle suggests that poison is a weapon typically used by women - and also eunuchs. He then bluntly notes that Varys is a eunuch, trying to throw suspicion on him.
Daenerys Targaryen travels to the slaver city of Astapor to buy an army of Unsullied, slave soldiers who have been turned into eunuchs to improve discipline. Lacking male organs, they do not take part in rapes.
Theon Greyjoy is castrated by his sadistic captor Ramsay Snow, who had heard rumors about Theon being well endowed. Ramsay then sends his severed genitals to Theon's father. When Balon receives the box, he is disgusted and gives Theon up for dead, stating that his son is not a man anymore, and is no longer important to him because he cannot further the Greyjoy line.
- Varys, the Master of Whisperers on the small council in King's Landing, emasculated by a sorcerer during his childhood.
- The Unsullied - warrior-eunuchs and slave-soldiers from Slaver's Bay. Castrated at the age of five by the Good Masters of Astapor at the beginning of their brutal training regime.
- Theon Greyjoy, emasculated by Ramsay Snow while being tortured for over a year in the dungeons of The Dreadfort.
- "Why is it no one trusts the eunuch?"
- "When people talk about phantom limbs, an amputee might have an itch where his foot used to be. So I've always wondered, do eunuchs have a phantom cock? Next time you think about naked girls, will you feel an itch?"
- ―Ramsay Bolton to Theon
- "I have been to Essos and seen the Unsullied firsthand. They are very impressive on the battlefield. Less so in the bedroom."
- ―Oberyn Martell
- "He's the toughest man with no balls I've ever met."
- ―Daario states his opinion of Grey Worm.
- "Even heard you have no cock. Explains why you think a woman can be queen."
- ―Euron Greyjoy mocks his nephew Theon.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, different regions are known to make eunuchs in different ways. Some only remove the testicles but leave the shaft of the penis intact, while others remove all external genitalia, both the penis and testicles. The slaver-city of Yunkai, for example, is known to make eunuchs by removing only a slave's testicles, but the slave-masters of Astapor make eunuchs by removing everything, penis and testes, such as when they make the Unsullied. A eunuch with only the testicles removed but not the penis will still lose the will to partake of sexual activity, but other slave-masters like to be sure by removing the penis as well.
In real life, if an adult man has his testicles removed, he can still achieve an erection. If a boy has his testicles removed before puberty, however, it is difficult to impossible for them to achieve an erection with the remaining shaft of the penis - due to the lack of hormones during the puberty years that would normally be supplied by the testicles. This is a moot point for the Unsullied: both their testicles and penis shaft are removed when they are no more than five years old. Kraznys actually explains within the novels that eunuchs can sometimes achieve an erection if they only have their testicles removed, so this is why the Astapori cut off all of the Unsullied's genitals, just to be sure.

Convergent Lagrangian heuristics for nonlinear minimum cost network flows
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2008
We consider the separable nonlinear and strictly convex single-commodity network flow problem (SSCNFP). We develop a computational scheme for generating a primal feasible solution from any Lagrangian dual vector; this is referred to as "early primal recovery". It is motivated by the desire to obtain a primal feasible vector before convergence of a Lagrangian scheme; such a vector is not available from a Lagrangian dual vector unless it is optimal. The scheme is constructed such that if we apply it from a sequence of Lagrangian dual vectors that converge to an optimal one, then the resulting primal (feasible) vectors converge to the unique optimal primal flow vector. It is therefore also a convergent Lagrangian heuristic, akin to those primarily devised within the field of combinatorial optimization but with the contrasting and striking advantage that it is guaranteed to yield a primal optimal solution in the limit. Thereby we also gain access to a new stopping criterion for any Lagrangian dual algorithm for the problem, which is of interest in particular if the SSCNFP arises as a subproblem in a more complex model. We construct instances of convergent Lagrangian heuristics that are based on graph searches within the residual graph, and therefore are efficiently implementable; in particular we consider two shortest path based heuristics that are based on the optimality conditions of the original problem. Numerical experiments report on the relative efficiency and accuracy of the various schemes. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

"Monitor Arms," our Greenpoint anthem
The song "Monitor Arms" (which you can grab on mp3 over at Baeble Music) came about after I had visited the Museum of the City of New York and had learned that workers in Greenpoint, Brooklyn built the famous Civil War ship the Monitor. I thought about the rich history of my home neighborhood, as a shipbuilding center of the United States, and about how much of that history was lost in a ten-alarm fire.
As I left for work that morning in 2006, the fire was ablaze and it was still burning when I came home, which was bizarre. It burned for 36 hours, destroying 15 buildings on the Greenpoint waterfront, and was the worst fire in New York during the decade. The song takes place out of chronological order, starting with the detritus of the abandoned warehouses, then the fire, which may have been caused by two homeless men or may have been set by a ruthless real estate developer. "Monitor Arms" briefly follows the plight of a squatter who may have been framed. Then it travels back to the time when shipbuilders and sailors cavorted on cobble-stoned streets:
"Sleepy spent sailors stumble on cobblestones
Print setters and fruit stand peddlers stand alone
The barges weighed down with lime
Pushed up the canal one at a time"
I obliquely reference Alexis de Tocqueville, who visited New York in the early 19th century, as a "Parisian visitor waiting for his arm to heal."
I wrote the music on the banjo initially, using the waltz time to evoke a sea chanty. We spent a lot of time in the studio getting this right: the build up from the nylon string guitar and vocals to the full band to the harmonies on the chorus; incorporating ideas from a low-fretted guitar riff to a harmonium together; ultimately leading to a coda that I hope evokes a sing-along of drunken sailors.

Global Identifier Generation Conventions
FindCollectionName
Documents that have the same @collection metadata belong to the same collection on the server side. Collection names are also used to build document identifiers.
conventions.findCollectionName =
 type => // function that provides the collection name based on the entity type
TransformClassCollectionNameToDocumentIdPrefix
Collection names determined by recently described convention functions aren't directly used as prefixes in document identifiers. There is a convention function called transformClassCollectionNameToDocumentIdPrefix() which takes the collection name and produces the prefix:
conventions.transformClassCollectionNameToDocumentIdPrefix =
 collectionName => // transform the collection name to the prefix of an identifier, e.g. [prefix]/12
Its default behavior is that for a collection which contains one upper character it simply converts it to lower case string. Users would be transformed into users. For collection names containing more upper characters there will be no change. The collection name: LineItems would output the following prefix: LineItems.
FindJsTypeName and FindJsType
In the metadata of all documents stored by RavenDB Node.js Client, you can find the following property which specifies the client-side type. For instance:
{
 "Raven-Node-Type": "Customer"
}
This property is used by RavenDB client to perform a conversion between a JS object and a JSON document stored in a database. A function responsible for retrieving the JS type of an entity is defined by findJsTypeName() convention:
conventions.findJsTypeName =
 type => // determine the type name based on type
To properly perform the reverse conversion that is from a JSON result into a JS object, we need to retrieve the JS type from the Raven-Node-Type metadata:
conventions.findJsType((id, doc) => {
 const metadata = doc["@metadata"];
 if (metadata) {
 const jsType = metadata["Raven-Node-Type"];
 return this.getJsTypeByDocumentType(jsType);
 }
 return null;
});
FindIdentityPropertyNameFromCollectionName
It can happen that sometimes the results returned by the server don't have identifiers defined (for example if you run a projection query) however they have @collection in metadata.
To perform the conversion into a JS object, a function that finds the identity property name for a given collection name is applied:
conventions.findIdentityPropertyNameFromCollectionName =
 collectionName => "id";
IdentityPartsSeparator
By default, convention document identifiers have the following format: [collectionName]/[identityValue]-[nodeTag]. The slash character (/) separates the two parts of an identifier. You can overwrite it by using IdentityPartsSeparator convention. Its default definition is:
conventions.identityPartsSeparator = "/";
FindCollectionNameForObjectLiteral
This convention is not defined by default. It's only useful when using object literals as entities. It defines how the client obtains a collection name for an object literal. If it's undefined object literals stored with session.store() are going to land up in @empty collection having a UUID for an ID.
For instance here's mapping of the category field to collection name:
conventions.findCollectionNameForObjectLiteral =
 entity => entity["category"];
 // function that provides the collection name based on the entity object

Silence removes a minion's card text and eliminates any other effects present on the card. However, the minion can still have effects applied to it after.
- If a minions is silenced, you can still buff it, including buffs that come from other minions, such as, whose +1 attack to adjacent minions will renew immediately following a neighboring minion being silenced.
- You can also place spell buffs on a minion after it has been silenced.
- Silence will not reverse effects of ownership, such as a minion being returned to its original owner.
- It does not reverse effects of card identity either, for example a when silenced will not revert to its 3/3 form.
- Silence will remove other spell effects cast by you or by your opponent, including freeze.
- When a minion is silenced it returns to its original health if its current health is above its original health; however, if its current health is below its original health, its health will not change.
- A card with the Silence ability removes all buffs and all effects (even those written on the card) from the target while the target remains in play.
- The only way to reverse a silence is to put the card back into your hand and play it again via cards like or.
Below is a list of all cards with the silence mechanic.
- Note: For the purposes of this list, only collectible cards are listed.

Development of a Rubber-Bonded Grinding Wheel - Studies on Aspherical Grinding -
Aspherical surfaces are an important technology in optical instruments. Until now, only improvements in form accuracy and surface roughness of aspherical surfaces have been investigated. However, when the surface roughness becomes low, the small waviness of the surface becomes marked. This small waviness is termed "Nano-topography." Nano-topography causes grinding marks and reduces the accuracy of an optical instrument. Nano-topography is caused by the vibration of a grinding wheel during the manufacture of the surface. This paper will reveal how a rubber-bonded grinding wheel has been developed to absorb that vibration. The dressing of the grinding wheel was also investigated. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the generation of nano-topography.

What Lizards Live in Ponds?
By Ben Team
_URL_.com/Getty Images
Because most lizards have evolved to operate at relatively high body temperatures, most prefer a terrestrial existence. However, a few species have adaptations that allow them to expand their habitat beyond the shores of ponds, rivers and swamps. Some species are so dependent on ponds and other water sources that they would struggle to live far from them.
Caiman Lizards
Caiman lizards (Dracaena guianensis) are large green lizards with red or brown heads. Native to South America, caiman lizards reach up to 4 feet in length and approach 10 pounds in weight. They spend most of their day alternating between foraging in the water and basking on branches over the water to raise their body temperature and dry off. Caiman lizards specialize in consuming large aquatic snails and have broad, flat molars that they use to crush the shells.
Chinese Crocodile Lizards
These amphibious lizards of Southeast Asia are named crocodile lizards (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) because of their tail, which has two rows of scales, much like a crocodile's tail. Crocodile lizards live in and around the slow pools, ponds and rivers of forested areas. The lizards are carnivorous and consume tadpoles, insects and worms. Much of their time is spent basking or lounging on branches overhanging the water; if danger approaches, they quickly dive into the safety of the pond. Though these lizards are predominately brown or grey dorsally, the males develop bright orange ventral and lateral coloration during the breeding season.
Basilisks and Sail-fin Lizards
Basilisks and sail-fin lizards live on different sides of the planet, but exhibit somewhat similar lifestyles. The basilisks (Basiliscus sp.) of Central and South America spend much of their time prowling on dry land for food near a large body of water. Though they do not specifically require the water to obtain their food, many of the insects and small vertebrates they eat are drawn to the water. Basilisks use the water in a more important way, though -- as an escape from danger. When approached by a predator, the basilisk will either dive to the bottom of the water and hide, or literally run across the surface of the water. The behavior -- which has earned the basilisk the nickname "Jesus Christ lizard" -- is possible thanks to their specialized running style, speed and enlarged toe scales, which increase the surface area of their feet. Aided by their dorsal fin and powerful tail, basilisks are incredible swimmers, capable of holding their breath for at least 30 minutes at a time. Sail-fin lizards are endemic to the Philippines, and grow slightly larger than basilisks. Sail-fins have an even more highly developed dorsal crest than basilisks do, and though they will consume insects and carrion, are primarily herbivorous.
Water Dragons
Water dragons range from Southeast Asia all the way to Australia. Two distinct forms exist: an Australian and an Indochinese form. While they were initially classified as members of the genus Physignathus, the Australian water dragons were recently moved to their own genus and designated as Intellagama lesueurii, while the Chinese water dragon remained Physignathus cocincinus. Despite their morphological differences, the two have similar lifestyles; both inhabit trees and shores around water, fleeing to the safety of the water at the first sign of danger. Both have tall, flat tails that aid swimming, though Chinese water dragons have a large crest as well.
