Working paper Open Access
This paper proposes a theory of pricing consistent with two well-documented patterns: customers care about fairness, and firms take these concerns into account when they set prices. The theory assumes that customers find a price unfair when it carries a high markup over cost, and that customers dislike unfair prices. Since markups are not observable, customers must extract them from prices. The theory assumes that customers infer less than rationally: when a price rises after an increase in marginal cost, customers partially misattribute the higher price to a higher markup—which they find unfair. Firms anticipate this response and trim their price increases, which reduces the passthrough of marginal costs into prices below one: prices are somewhat rigid. Embedded in a New Keynesian model—as a replacement of Calvo pricing—our theory produces monetary nonneutrality. When monetary policy loosens and inflation rises, customers misperceive markups as higher and feel unfairly treated; firms mitigate the perceived unfairness of prices by reducing their markups, which in general equilibrium leads to higher output.

The total amount of catch for the long-distance fisheries amounted to 20,000 MT, a 66 percent decrease compared to 2014. The main deep sea activity areas were the Central Atlantic region (CECAF) in Mauritanian (EEZ) waters. A relatively small portion of the catch is made from fishing activities in the North Atlantic in the NAFO and NEAFC convention areas, where Latvia has fishing quotas for shrimp, redfish and mackerel.
Pelagic species (herring and sprats) are the mainstay of the Latvian harvests accounting for almost 90 percent of the total fish catch in Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga. Fishing activities vary from year to year because they depend on fish feeding conditions, water temperature and level of water pollution.
The annual Baltic Sea fishing quota is negotiated on an annual basis by the EU's agriculture and fisheries ministers. The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) is a global organization that uses science to develop advice to support sustainable use of the oceans. ICES recommends to the Council the size of quotas for the next year. In October 2015 the Council of Ministers agreed on a 20 percent reduction of the 2016 quotas for cod compared to 2015, resulting in a total allowable catch (TAC) of maximum 41,143 MT for the Eastern stock and 12,720 MT for the Western stock of the Baltic Sea. The 2016 quotas for sprat were lowered by 5 percent compared to 2015, to a TAC of maximum 202,320 MT.
In 2015 the total catch in both the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Riga amounted to 62,000 MT, an increase of 3 percent compared to 2014. The main species caught were Baltic sprat, Baltic herring and cod.
In 2015 the Latvian fishing fleet consisted of more than 700 fishing vessels. Out of this number, 628 were the vessels used for coastal fishing, 68 for Baltic Sea offshore fishing and seven for long-distance ocean fishing. The majority of fishing vessels used for costal fishing are less than five meters long. The fishing fleet operating beyond coastal waters decreased over the past few years due to a scrapping program by the EU. The program reduces the fishing capacity in response to the depleted fish stocks.
Catches in the Baltic Sea offshore fisheries constitute 50 percent of the total Latvian fishing fleet catch.
The main species harvested by the offshore fishermen are cod, herring and sprat. Latvia has seven high seas fishing vessels operating in the Central Atlantic region, Mauritania and Morocco waters. In 2015 the high seas catches in the North and Northeast Atlantic amounted to 20,000 MT and were 66 percent lower than in 2014. Main species caught were mackerel, horse mackerel, sardinella and redfish.
Fishing in inland waters has significantly decreased within the last few years mainly due to the prohibition of fishing with nets and traps in numerous lakes and rivers. In addition, demand for fresh water fish from the processing industry is low. The main species harvested are bream, pike and river lamprey.
Although aquaculture is developing fast in Latvia, it is still a new branch of production. Most farms are located in the interior of the country. There is no aquaculture activity in marine waters. There are 160 aquaculture farms registered in Latvia. The main species produced are carp, trout, goldfish, pike, catfish and sturgeon. It is estimated that in 2015 production of fish by the aquaculture sector amounted to 600 MT, of which carp accounted for more than 80 percent. Aquaculture factories (mainly state owned farms) also supply fry, fingerlings and smolts for release in natural waters in order to compensate for damage to fish resources caused by the development of hydropower plants on rivers, pollution of water and the degradation of natural habitats.

On the 15th of July, VCE physics students from Leongatha and Korumburra secondary college visited La Trobe University's Department of Engineering to undertake experiments related to the transmission of power. The experiments were conducted by La Trobe University Lecturer Andrew Martchenko. Each group of students were given a board of a scaled down power station with transformers stepping-up the voltage and then stepping-down the voltage over transmission lines before reaching the street lights. Students were required to measure voltages and calculate power losses. Students had to examine the power losses in four experimental setups, two with bypassing the transformers and two with using the transformers. This allowed students to compare results and draw conclusions on the importance of high voltage transmission.
A student from Leongatha SC stated "We live in the La Trobe Valley which generates most of the power for Victoria. I now have a better understanding of how the power is generated and transmitted from a power station to a house. We studied the theory back at school several weeks ago. Being able to conduct hands on experiments such as this one is very important in fully comprehending the material taught."
La Trobe University Lecturer Andrew Martchenko provided the students with problems related to the transmission of power, relating them to real life scenarios which Engineers face in the Electrical industry. "It is important for students to understand how mathematics and physics are applied to solve simple problems which have a great impact on modern society. In Australia, we take much of this for granted because we have world class engineers operating world class facilities. As an end user we rarely question why a blackout has occurred, we simply wait a short period of time, the power comes back and we move on with our lives. The engineer is tasked with resolving such problems but more importantly in preventing them in the near future."
Andrew utilised examples of power grid overloading during summer when most Australians utilise air-conditioning and how this can lead to power outages. Examples were also provided about the illegal taping of power from the grid, predominantly in countries were regulation is difficult due high density populations.
The excursion to La Trobe University concluded with an interactive presentation on engineering careers and a demonstration of student projects. The Department of Engineering also donated a cathode ray oscilloscope to each school which will enable students to take electronic measurements during their studies.
The Department of Engineering at La Trobe University is a leader amongst Victorian Universities in providing high value practical experiments related to Electronics/Electrical, Applications of Physics, Photonics in Communications and much more.

Orbit: Mobile Device Management
Mobile devices include both tablets and smart phones that have a full-featured operating system. The operating system provides the framework required to install applications onto the device. Those applications - called apps for short - are what give the device its wide range of potential uses.
Orbit manages mobile devices by enabling and disabling specific apps as well as dynamically filtering content through the data connection.
Odoo • Text and Image
Odoo • Image and Text
How does Orbit work?
Using a mobile version of Security Appliance, Orbit works on iOS, giving full control and peace of mind knowing...
1. Your favorite stock browser is filtered and can be used safely.
2. Essential apps are filtered.
3. Non-essential apps are removed from the device.
Can "regular" cell phones be managed?
It is true that many regular phones models – sometimes called feature phones or dumb phones – have browsers that are becoming increasingly capable. However, these kinds of phones can't be managed because the operating system is not robust enough to enable management features.
What mobile devices can be managed?
 - iOS (Apple) models such as iPhones and iPads.*
 - Ask if uncertain when purchasing new service.
*All Apple iOS devices must be initially configured by a Compass technician or partner. This configuration will reset the iOS device and cannot be restored from a former backup. Future changes can be done remotely and will not require a reset. Contact Compass for more details.
How does "dynamic filtering" work?
Orbit is smart enough to know when to simply hide questionable content on a page - while still making important functions usable (called "pruning") - and smart enough to know when it is appropriate to block objectionable categories completely. This is the advantage of the dynamic web filtering you get with a product like Orbit.
Let's take the online shopping websites as an example. Much of what is seen on the landing page is unnecessarily distracting, and can be inappropriate as well. Orbit dynamically filters out most of the home page while leaving primary navigation buttons still available.
Dynamic filtering also includes knowing the difference between generally harmless categories (like automotive parts & accessories) and questionable categories (like Movies/Visual Media).


text: We have captured the binding of a peptide to a PDZ domain by unbiased molecular dynamics simulations. Analysis of the trajectories reveals on-pathway encounter complex formation, which is driven by electrostatic interactions between negatively charged carboxylate groups in the peptide and positively charged side chains surrounding the binding site. In contrast, the final stereospecific complex, which matches the crystal structure, features completely different interactions, namely the burial of the hydrophobic side chain of the peptide C-terminal residue and backbone hydrogen bonds. The simulations show that nonnative salt bridges stabilize kinetically the encounter complex during binding. Unbinding follows the inverse sequence of events with the same nonnative salt bridges in the encounter complex. Thus, in contrast to protein folding, which is driven by native interactions, the binding of charged peptides can be steered by nonnative interactions, which might be a general mechanism, e.g., in the recognition of histone tails by bromodomains.

Year of Green Wisdom for Pagans and Wiccans
we garden or collect plants in meadows or woods, their wisdom
comes alive when we work with them within the context of the seasons
and we learn how their cycles progress month by month. Basing
our magical use of plants within the seasons also helps us develop
additional and more meaningful ways to connect with the green
world and nature spirits. This, in turn, provides our rituals
and magic with continuity through the year.
Including both ordinary and classically witchy plants, this book
serves as a guide and stepping stone to develop a working knowledge
of plants. Going month by month it highlights a range of plants—from
the smallest herb to greatest tree—with facts about their
physical characteristics, history and folklore, and of course,
magical uses. You will also learn how plant cycles fit into the
wheel of the year. While this book focuses on North American plants,
it shows how plant mythology and folklore was often carried here
by European settlers and applied to similar plants. In many cases,
settlers brought plants with them to the New World.
focuses on a month and is divided into four sections. The first
is called "On the Calendar" and takes note of sabbats
and other significant dates that involve plants. The next two
sections are called "In the Garden" and "In
the Wild." These highlight plants that may be blooming or
bearing fruit that month. As expected, these two sections are
somewhat fluid as some wild plants have become popular in the
garden and some garden plants have found homes outside of our
backyards. The last section is called "In the House"
and focuses on indoor, plant-related projects and activities.
Being familiar with plants and their cycles connects us more closely
with nature and with all the wise women and men who have gone
before us as we carry on their work with plant magic. In addition,
working with plants according to the season helps us discover
and develop our unique ways of self-expression in the craft.

With Portuguese colonizers arriving in the 1500s bringing with them enslaved Africans, and the indigenous population prevailing before then, in addition to the waves of foreign immigration years after, Brazil is rich in history, to say the least. Take a glimpse back in time by visiting these incredible historic towns in Brazil.
Salvador is the capital of Bahia and one of Brazil's most historically significant towns with a striking mix of colonial architecture from the Portuguese settlers and a deep-rooted Afro-Brazilian culture. Known as a central port for the incoming enslaved Africans in the 16th century, Salvador eventually became strongly influenced by African cuisine, dance, and music, which have enrichened the local history. One of the city's most famous neighborhoods is Pelourinho in the city center, known for its large squares, colorful architecture, and baroque-style churches.

Ribeirão da Ilha
Located on the west coast of Florianopolis in the south of Brazil, Ribeirão da Ilha is a small yet picture-perfect village with a laid-back atmosphere and classic Portuguese colonial architecture. Its historical city center was founded in the mid 18th century and is one of the oldest Azorean colonization settlements. Several of the houses and churches there are recognized for their historical significance and are protected by law.

Antonio Prado
In the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul is Antonio Prado, a town built by an Italian community who settled there in the early 19th century. Many of the houses in the town are made from wood complete with criss-cross beams on the facades and fairytale fretwork lining the roof. The local Municipal Museum holds a precious collection of archives and artifacts of the town's history over the past 100 years.

Ouro Preto
A town famed for its colonial houses, cobbled streets, and baroque churches, Ouro Preto is one of the best-known and popular cities in Brazil, capturing tourists' hearts with its charming architecture, friendly residents, and wholesome local food. It once played an important part in Brazil's Gold Rush and was also the place where the Inconfidência Mineira happened, an unsuccessful attempt to claim back Brazilian independence from the Portuguese in 1789. At the heart of the revolution was leader Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, otherwise known as 'Tiradentes' who was later captured by the Portuguese authorities, hung, and dismembered for his involvement in the riot.

In the third lesson of this course, you will learn to say how you're doing, ask about others and say where you are.
First, a review of what you know. You can say what something is:
1 translation: This is tea. (This-tea.)
You can also say that something is good:
2 translation: This tea good.
You can ask if something (like coffee-kofe) is good (using mi):
3 translation: This coffee good?
You can say that something is not (emas) good:
4 translation: This coffee good not.
You can ask where (qayerda) something (like the hotel-bu mehmonxona) is:
5 translation: The hotel where?
You can say where something is.
6 translation: here
7 translation: there
8 translation: at the hotel
You know how to say That is good: U yaxshi}. But if you want to say that you are good, you use an ending, [man:
I am good = Yaxshiman
Say you are good:
9 translation: Good-am.
In Uzbek, you don't need the subject pronoun, I (men), but you can add it for emphasis:
10 translation: I good-am.
You can also use this with "post-positional phrases".
I am in the room = (Men) bu xonadaman (xona:room + -da:in + -man:am)
Emphasizing the I by starting with Men, say I am at the hotel:
11 translation: I hotel-at-am.
Now say I am here.
12 translation: I here-am.
The word for you is siz. And -siz is the ending for saying (you) are. So asking where someone is goes like this:
Where are you? = You where-at-are? = Siz qayerdasiz?
13 translation: Where are you?
And how would you say, You are there (use siz at the beginning for emphasis):
14 translation: You are there.
When you use the question word mi with the endings man and siz, it comes before these personal endings:
Are you good? = Siz yaxshimisiz? (yaxshi:good + mi:? + siz:are)
Are you here? = Siz buyerdamisiz? (bu:this + yer:place + da:at + mi:? + siz:are)
How would you ask, Are you at the hotel? (skip the emphatic siz):
15 translation: This hotel-at-?-are
Give the answer, Yes, I'm at the hotel:
16 translation: Yes, this hotel-at-am.
As you know, emas is not. To negate a sentence with -man or -siz, add them to emas. So, to say you're not at the hotel goes like this:
I am not at the hotel = this hotel-at not-am = bu mehmonxonada emasman
Say you're not in the room:
17 translation: This room-at not-am.
Let's have a short phone conversation. Note that when I and you are in surrounded by dashes (-I-), you should start the sentence with men or siz for emphasis. Your colleague starts by asking if you are well.
18 translation: Are you well?
19 translation: -I- am well. Are -youwell?
He answers, Yaxshi, good, then asks where you are.
20 translation: Where are -you-?
Tell him you're at the hotel.
21 translation: I'm at the hotel.
He says he'll see you later and you hang up, before preparing for lesson 4.
In the next lesson, you'll learn more about postpositions and how to ask for things.

Role of Technology in disease prevention
Role of Technology in disease prevention
Role of Technology in disease prevention
Introduction:
Taking preventive measures to lower the chance of contracting a disease or condition is known as disease prevention. Disease prevention aims to keep individuals healthy and reduce the burden on healthcare systems. Technology can play a crucial role in disease prevention by providing individuals with tools to monitor their health and access healthcare services remotely. We will explore how technology can contribute to disease prevention.
The Importance of Disease Prevention:
Preventive measures are critical to promoting a healthy lifestyle and maintaining overall wellness. Routine checkups and physical exams can detect early signs of disease, making it easier to treat and manage. The probability of getting chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, can be decreased by taking preventive health measures. By adopting a proactive approach to healthcare, individuals can reduce healthcare costs and improve their quality of life.

Insert Line Breaks
Normally, the text entered as first parameter of MessageBox is displayed as a continuous line that the engine breaks where it sees fit according to line's total length and length of separate words. With a bit of hex editing, though, you can make it look more formatted.
Let's say, you want a MessageBox to report the amount of certain enemies you killed like this:
Score: Daedra Lords: 21 Golden Saints:37 Fargoths: 9999
If you try to make a MessageBox with line breaks in the CS, it will take it as several lines with different operators and refuse to compile it. You'll have to deceive the CS. First, you write an operator:
MessageBox "Score:|Daedra Lords: %.0f|Golden Saints:%.0f|Fargoths: %.0f", k_Dae, k_Snt, k_Far
Compile the script and save your mod. Now you'll need a hex editor like WinHex (or any that you prefer). Open your.esp with it and find the message text. It will be found there twice - first time in the body of a compiled script, second in the source text. You'll need the first one. Replace all symbols '|' with the hexadecimal code 0A (line feed) and save the file. Now, when you play the mod, the engine will recognize line breaks properly and display your MessageBox as you wanted it.
Just keep in mind that if you change and recompile the script, imposed linebreaks will be lost and you'll have to repeat the operation again.

Why does a whip make a cracking sound when someone whips it? --- Thomas, Englishtown, N.J.
Marshall Brain Answers:
That cracking sound you are hearing is a sonic boom. The tip of a long whip goes supersonic and makes the sound. The following video demonstrates how to make a whip and crack it:
Here is the tip in slow motion:

"A whip is specially crafted to accelerate a loop in its body to high speeds. The tapering of a whip makes a loop traveling along it speed up by a factor of ten. The lightweight free end allows an extra factor of two to three in speed. For realistic whips, the tip can reach speeds more than 30 times the initial speed," he said.

Full-waveform inversion (FWI) enables us to obtain highresolution subsurface images; however, estimating model uncertainties associated with this technique is still a challenging problem. We have used a Bayesian inference framework to estimate model uncertainties associated with FWI. The uncertainties were assessed based on an a posteriori covariance operator, evaluated at the maximum a posteriori model. For the prior distribution, we have used a spatially nonstationary covariance operator based on a plane-wave construction with local dips measured from migrated images. Preconditioned frequencydomain FWI was used to estimate the maximum a posteriori model. Efficient manipulation of the posterior covariance was based on a low-rank approximation of the data misfit Hessian preconditioned by the prior covariance operator. The strong decay of the singular values indicated that data were mostly informative about a low-dimensional subspace of model parameters. To reduce computational cost of the randomized singular value decomposition, we have used a Hessian approximation based on point-spread functions. The 2D numerical examples with synthetic data confirmed that the method can effectively estimate uncertainties for FWI. Visual comparisons of random samples drawn from the prior and posterior distributions have allowed us to evaluate model uncertainties. Furthermore, we found out how statistical quantities, such as means and pointwise standard deviation fields, can be efficiently extracted from the prior and posterior distributions. These fields helped us to objectively assess subsurface images provided by FWI.

Atlas of Living Australia
National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy
The Atlas of Living Australia is a project funded under the Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). Its mission is to develop an online, freely accessible biodiversity data management system to link Australia's distributed network of biological knowledge custodians.
Bush Blitz is a priority project for the ALA, which will develop supporting tools and infrastructure for Bush Blitz.


:: pidfile :default: /var/run/zuul/scheduler.pid Path to PID lock file. .. attr:: state_dir :default: /var/lib/zuul Path to directory in which Zuul should save its state. .. attr:: relative_priority :default: False A boolean which indicates whether the scheduler should supply relative priority information for node requests. In all cases, each pipeline may specify a precedence value which is used by Nodepool to satisfy requests from higher-precedence pipelines first. If ''relative_priority'' is set to ''True'', then Zuul will additionally group items in the same pipeline by pipeline queue and weight each request by its position in that project's group. A request for the first change in a given queue will have the highest relative priority, and the second change a lower relative priority. The first change of each queue in a pipeline has the same relative priority, regardless of the order of submission or how many other changes are in the pipeline. This can be used to make node allocations complete faster for projects with fewer changes in a system dominated by projects with more changes. If this value is ''False'' (the default), then node requests are sorted by pipeline precedence followed by the order in which they were submitted. If this is ''True'', they are sorted by pipeline precedence, followed by relative priority, and finally the order in which they were submitted. .. attr:: default_hold_expiration :default: max_hold_expiration The default value for held node expiration if not supplied. This will default to the value of ''max_hold_expiration'' if not changed, or if it is set to a higher value than the max. .. attr:: max_hold_expiration :default: 0 Maximum number of seconds any nodes held for an autohold request will remain available. A value of 0 disables this, and the nodes will remain held until the autohold request is manually deleted. If a value higher than ''max_hold_expiration'' is supplied during hold request creation, it will be lowered to this value. Operation ~~~~~~~~~ To start the scheduler, run ''zuul-scheduler''. To stop it, kill the PID which was saved in the pidfile specified in the configuration. Most of Zuul's configuration is automatically updated as changes to the repositories which contain it are merged. However, Zuul must be explicitly notified of changes to the tenant config file, since it is not read from a git repository. To do so, run ''zuul-scheduler full-reconfigure''. The signal based method by sending a 'SIGHUP' signal to the scheduler PID is deprecated. Merger ------ Mergers are an optional Zuul service; they are not required for Zuul to operate, but some high volume sites may benefit from running them. Zuul performs quite a lot of git operations in the course of its work. Each change that is to be tested must be speculatively merged with the current state of its target branch to ensure that it can merge, and to ensure that the tests that Zuul perform accurately represent the outcome of merging the change. Because Zuul's configuration is stored in the git repos it interacts with, and is dynamically evaluated, Zuul often needs to perform a speculative merge in order to determine whether it needs to perform any further actions. All of these git operations add up, and while Zuul executors can also perform them, large numbers may impact their ability to run jobs. Therefore, administrators may wish to run standalone mergers in order to reduce the load on executors. Mergers need to be able to connect to the Gearman server (usually the scheduler host) as well as any services for which connections are configured (Gerrit, GitHub, etc). Configuration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following section of ''zuul.conf'' is used by the merger: .. attr:: merger .. attr:: command_socket :default: /var/lib/zuul/merger.socket Path to command socket file for the merger process. .. attr:: git_dir :default: /var/lib/zuul/merger-git Directory in which Zuul should clone git repositories. .. attr:: git_http_low_speed_limit :default: 1000 If the HTTP transfer speed is less then git_http_low_speed_limit for longer then git_http_low_speed_time, the transfer is aborted. Value in bytes, setting to 0 will disable. .. attr:: git_http_low_speed_time :default: 30 If the HTTP transfer speed is less then git_http_low_speed_limit for longer then git_http_low_speed_time, the transfer is aborted. Value in seconds, setting to 0 will disable. .. attr:: git_timeout :default: 300 Timeout for git clone and fetch operations. This can be useful when dealing with large repos. Note that large timeouts can increase startup and reconfiguration times if repos are not cached so be cautious when increasing this value. Value in seconds. .. attr:: git_user_email Value to pass to 'git config user.email '_. .. attr:: git_user_name Value to pass to 'git config user.name '_. .. attr:: log_config Path to log config file for the merger process. .. attr:: pidfile :default: /var/run/zuul/merger.pid Path to PID lock file for the merger process. Operation ~~~~~~~~~ To start the merger, run ''zuul-merger''. To stop it, kill the PID which was saved in the pidfile specified in the configuration. .. _executor: Executor -------- Executors are responsible for running jobs. At the start of each job, an executor prepares an environment in which to run Ansible which contains all of the git repositories specified by the job with all dependent changes merged into their appropriate branches. The branch corresponding to the proposed change will be checked out (in all projects, if it exists). Any roles specified by the job will also be present (also with dependent changes merged, if appropriate) and added to the Ansible role path. The executor also prepares an Ansible inventory file with all of the nodes requested by the job. The executor also contains a merger. This is used by the executor to prepare the git repositories used by jobs, but is also available to perform any tasks normally performed by standalone mergers. Because the executor performs both roles, small Zuul installations may not need to run standalone mergers. Executors need to be able to connect to the Gearman server (usually the scheduler host), any services for which connections are configured (Gerrit, GitHub, etc), as well as directly to the hosts which Nodepool provides. Trusted and Untrusted Playbooks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The executor runs playbooks in one of two execution contexts depending on whether the project containing the playbook is a :term:'config-project' or an :term:'untrusted-project'. If the playbook is in a config project, the executor runs the playbook in the *trusted* execution context, otherwise, it is run in the *untrusted* execution context. Both execution contexts use 'bubblewrap'_ [#nullwrap]_ to create a namespace to ensure that playbook executions are isolated and are unable to access files outside of a restricted environment. The administrator may configure additional local directories on the executor to be made available to the restricted environment. The trusted execution context has access to all Ansible features, including the ability to load custom Ansible modules. Needless to say, extra scrutiny should be given to code that runs in a trusted context as it could be used to compromise other jobs running on the executor, or the executor itself, especially if the administrator has granted additional access through bubblewrap, or a method of escaping the restricted environment created by bubblewrap is found. Playbooks run in the untrusted execution context are not permitted to load additional Ansible modules or access files outside of the restricted environment prepared for them by the executor. In addition to the bubblewrap environment applied to both execution contexts, in the untrusted context some standard Ansible modules are replaced with versions which prohibit some actions, including attempts to access files outside of the restricted execution context. These redundant protections are made as part of a defense-in-depth strategy. .. _bubblewrap: _

Slate's ever-helpful Explainer feature provides details about how long an embryo can remain frozen. (As you may have heard this week, a woman just gave birth to a baby who had earlier been a frozen embryo threatened by Hurricane Katrina.)
Turns out an embryo can be on ice for "for decades, if you store them the right way":
Embryos can remain on ice pretty much indefinitely; one baby was born after being frozen for 13 years.
To get that kind of shelf-life, an embryo must be carefully sealed inside a tank filled with liquid nitrogen and monitored to keep it at least 31 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.
But there's big trouble if the power goes out and the generator fails to function:
Once the embryo is thawed to room temperature, it needs to be placed in an incubator to keep it at 98.6 degrees so it can live until implantation. It can last a day or more in this state.

Overview and production process characteristics of carbon film PCB
Overview and production process characteristICs of carbon film PCB
PCB manufacturing, PCB design and PCBA processing manufacturers will explain the overview and production process characteristics of carbon film PCB
There are two common methods of making circuit in printed circuit board: subtraction method and addition method. The addition method uses electrolytic free or electroplated copper to generate circuits. The method of using conductive ink is one of the addition methods. The conductive ink is used to make wires and printed on insulators to generate circuits. This method is relatively easy and effective to produce printed circuits of various shapes.
The production process of carbon film PCB is a PCB manufacturing method that combines the subtractive method and the additive method.
printed circuit board
At present, carbon film printed boards have made breakthrough progress in the field of application, especially in electronic products with low electrical power. As a permanent conductive coating on printed boards, carbon film printed boards have been adopted and promoted by many electronIC designers.
With the rapid development of the electronic industry, carbon film PCB is gradually adopted in the daily electrical appliances and instruments towards multi-function and miniaturization. Such as: TV, telephone, electronic organ, game machine, video recorder, etc. Its new technologies and functions have been continuously developed and utilized. The electronic fields of computer keyboards, card type computing machines, micro radio recorders, electronic measuring devices and SMT have also started to select carbon film printed boards, thus improving its reputation and expanding its demand.
The carbon film PCB uses a SIMple screen printing process to add one or two layers of conductive graphics on a single side printed board to achieve high-density wiring. The printed conductive graphics are not only used as interconnection wires, but also used as resistors, key switch contacts, electromagnetic shielding layers, etc.
This process has the advantages of both empty metallized PCB and single-sided PCB, forming a single-sided double-layer PCB without interconnection holes; Simplify the production process of porous metallized printed boards, which can be directly printed through screen printing and can be easily mastered; Light weight, thinness can be realized, even phenolic paperboard can be used; Parts installation holes can also be blanking processed; Adapt to mass production, shorten the production cycle, production costs, no three waste pollution.
Carbon film PCB can shorten the production cycle of double-sided boards by two-thirds; The volume of the whole machine is reduced by one quarter to one third; The assembly efficiency of the whole machine is increased by 30%; The production cost is reduced by one third, and more double-sided porous boards or simple multilayer boards are converted to the carbon film PCB production mode.
As far as the technical specifications of carbon film printed boards are concerned, some technical descriptions of conductive coatings in IEC1249-5-4; Famous companies have also developed some technical specifications for carbon film PCB; Some ink manufacturers. There are also technical conditions for conductive ink; But these are only some simple descriptions and introductions; In 1998, SJ/T11171-98 Specification for Non metallized Single and Double Sided Carbon Film Printed Boards issued by China's electronic industry comprehensively discussed the technical conditions and test methods of carbon film boards. PCB manufacturers, PCB designers and PCBA manufacturers will explain the overview and production process characteristics of carbon film PCB.

Abstract： The term "risk-domain specificity" refers to the domain-specific nature of risky decision making due to the presence of factors that are particular to a certain content domain. Based on classical risky decision making theories stemming from laws of expectation, risk-taking propensity is domain-general. On the other hand, substantial evidences from past studies indicate that risk-taking propensity is domain-specific. The literature on risk-domain specificity has witnessed considerable progress in terms of mechanisms, measurements, and independent variables. Theoretically, early mainstream mechanisms deconstructed risk behavior based on a risk-return framework, whereas recent studies have validated the mechanisms with new sets of evidence and explained risk-domain specificity from the perspectives of evolution, personality and motivation. In terms of measurements, Domain-specific Risk Taking Scale (DOSPERT), as a dominant scale, has been further validated in various cultures, content domains, and groups. In comparison, other scales based on different content domains have been proven to be consistent and valid. In terms of independent variables, the regularity of risk-domain specificity has been proposed from various perspectives, such as genetics, environment and individual differences. Future research may focus on content domain integration and theory validation in detailed content domains as well as exploring regularity and mechanisms of risk-domain specificity at an individual level.

Illegal logging, Fires, Encroachment Choke Progress in Chikangawa Forest
Chrishna Das Chief Executive Officer for Raiply, which has concession to manage part of the Chikangawa Forest in Mzimba district says illegal logging, encroachment upon the concession area and fires are some of the challenges faced managing the forest.
However, Raiply says despite the challenges, it still plans tree planting trees over a stretch of a thousand hectares.
Das said this at the weekend when Raiply conducted a tree-planting-exercise in Viphya plantation in Mzimba which has lately suffered mass deforestation.
Besides the twenty thousand hectares under Raiply Limited Concession, Chikangawa Forest has generally suffered devastating deforestation with minimal reforestation taking place.
The community blames politicians and local business operators for most of the plunder in the forest as they are largely at the centre of harvesting timber in the forest.
The event was attend by four DPP cabinet ministers who also under-scored the need for people to rise above partisan politics to mitigate effects of climate change.
Ministers Jappie Mhango, Ralph Jooma, Symon Vuwa Kaunda and Mark Botoman took part in the tree planting exercise alongside Raiply officials in Viphya plantation.
"Malawi is currently grappling with issues of climate change, all owed to the massive deforestation that has left a lot of forests bare.
"One way of averting the situation is through reforestation planting trees," said Mhango observing that Viphya plantation in particular which is now almost bare.
"It is only fair for everyone to demonstrate some level of commitment and patriotism to bring back the forest," he said.
His information counterpart, Botomani, said unity of purpose would restore the forest; "So let's be patriotic in spite of the different political affiliations that we have and do something for out treasure Viphya plantation".
Raiply Malawi Limited is said to contribute around K3.6bn in taxes annually.

Is there a city where all the citizens can live a decent life
Through the eyes of a young girl, readers think about local autonomy and problems with the right to eat. Can a city be formed where no one will go hungry?
Forough is one of the effulgent Iranian contemporary poets to whom part of the spirit and stream of the Persian free verse is indebted.
Forough's poetry is profound, critical and multifaceted. Forough was never a poet for children, but one can find tokens of tendency towards narratives with child-like tone and timbre in some poems of hers.
Iturbe, Antonio G
Edebe, Houpaa Books
Famous worldwide for his ingenuity and his fondness for potato omelette, Inspector Cito works in the Department of Strange Cases, Mysterious and Superdificient. New cases claim their skills as a good investigator in the company of their Chinese assistant, Sergeant Chin Mi Edo. Between case and case, they enjoy a good appetite in their favorite bar, the Crazy Loro.
At first glance, this concept is a color that imagines a strange life for itself. He seeks to blossom the cocoon of loneliness and finally feels alone that to get rid of loneliness and get acquainted with new colors, he must give in to the separation of parts of his being. In this work, the author pays attention to the fact that the colorful gems in the existence of every human being, if believed by him, will ignite and manifest themselves. Getting rid of the existing cocoon and moving towards the possible, which is sometimes a human desire, will be possible only by freeing oneself and giving oneself to the other, both of which are the same thing; But switching from one to another is a difficult task that is simply not possible.
Nimā Yushij, also called Nimā, was a contemporary Persian poet. He is famous for his style of poetry which he called she'r-e now, also known as she'r-e nimaa'i in his honour after his death. He is considered as the father of modern Persian poetry.
He published his first poem, A Pale Tale (Ghesseye Rangparideh) in 1920.
There are also five children's poems that shows his tender nature. One, among them is the beautiful poem It is springtime Kids.

Sustain has called on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to make the Spring Budget count in tackling rising food insecurity for children and childhood obesity alike.
On 3 March, Rishi Sunak presents the 2021 Spring Budget, and whilst most attention will be focussed on continued emergency support for businesses and individuals affected by the current lockdown, and on building back the economy and green jobs, the last 12 months have also put growing food inequalities for children into the spotlight.
In the budget representation made to HM Treasury by Sustain's Children's Food Campaign, we made a series of recommendations that would make a tangible difference for millions of children. Not all were asking Rishi Sunak to spend more money - indeed the successful Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL) is already raising over £300m per year in revenues for children's health. We have called for a review of the lower threshold for soft drinks eligible for the SDIL from 5g to 4.5g per 100ml as well as an inflation-indexed increase, to encourage further sugar reduction by companies, as well as maintaining and increasing the amount raised by the Levy.
When introducing the sugary drinks tax, the government pledged that 'every penny would be spent on children's health'. We must continue to hold government accountable for transparent delivery of this promise. If this recommendation were adopted it would allow for the establishment of a £100 million Healthy Food Innovation Fund to be distributed to support local communities and schools to improve children's access to healthy schools.
On top of that it would also support the further expansion of the National School Breakfast Programme for 2021/22 - current funding is due to expire in July 2021. The Children's Food Campaign is supporting its member organisation Magic Breakfast in calling on the Chancellor to put #BreakfastintheBudget. Their research shows that for every £1 invested in healthy school breakfasts for children in poverty, an additional £50 in economic benefit could be secured as a result of the consequent improvement in health and educational attainment.
Further measures in our budget submission call on the Chancellor to adopt recommendations made in Part One of the National Food Strategy to tackle child food insecurity. These include extending Free School Meal and Healthy Start voucher eligibility to all children from families in receipt of Universal Credit, and maintaining the commitment to Universal Infant Free School Meals. Longer term, we and other organisations have called for a full review of school meal arrangements - recognising the challenges that have arisen in ensuring no child goes hungry in term time or school holidays, and the numbers of children living in poverty who continue to miss out on free school meals and healthy breakfasts. This includes all children from families with No Recourse to Public Funds as a result of their current immigration status - at present eligibility for free school meals has been extended to some but not all of these children, and this must be made more inclusive and permanent. Our submission to the Spring Budget also echoed the calls of many organisations campaigning to #KeeptheLifeline - the £20 uplift to Universal Credit that was introduced in 2020 - in recognition of rising unemployment and evidence of continued household food insecurity.

Disadvantaged families in West Northamptonshire have received a share of a £850,000 fund to ensure vulnerable children are fed over the school summer holidays.
Just under 9,500 families whose children are eligible for free school meals during term time have now also received vouchers of £90, which can be spent at many of the major supermarkets over the six-week summer holiday. This equates to £15 per child each week.
Cabinet member for Children and Education at West Northamptonshire Council (WNC), Councillor Fiona Baker, said: "We saw early on in the lock down how many low-income families weren't being furloughed and just lost their jobs and any form of independent income. It is up to us to ensure their children are protected from those circumstances as much as possible.
"But we have to be clear that this has been a one-off payment from Government and this kind of support to mitigate the impact of Covid and the lockdown cannot continue indefinitely.
"We will be monitoring our progress closely and will lobby Government if the evidence shows further support is needed."
WNC has been working with schools to gather lists of eligible pupils after the Government announced the Household Support Grant Scheme to pay for free school meals or fuel costs in June.
After schools provided lists of eligible pupils, WNC generated individual pupil vouchers and returned them to schools so they could distribute them to the families who need them.
Schools with the largest number of eligible pupils received the vouchers first and the rest in descending order in time for the start of the school holidays last week.
This follows after a Northamptonshire charity confirmed that it is set to open a food bank for the eighth consecutive year at Rectory Farm Centre to meet 'big demand' in the NN3 area.
Department for Education figures show 17,901 children in Northamptonshire were eligible for free school meals in January – 15% of all state school pupils in the area. This was up from 12% the year before, and at the highest level since comparable figures began in 2015-16.
A council spokesperson confirmed that this free meals scheme will also be in place for eligible families in North Northamptonshire
The scheme remains in place this year despite Northamptonshire's seven MPs voting down a national motion to continue the free school meal scheme across the UK during school holidays in October 2020.
After it was decided that the free school meal scheme would not be extended by central Government, England and Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford led a huge campaign to provide 1.4 million children across the country with food vouchers during the holidays.

As an e-commerce seller, you will need to collect sales tax in Louisiana if you have:
(1) gross revenue exceeding $100,000 during the current calendar or immediately preceding calendar year (economic nexus),
(2) Physical presence in Louisiana (physical nexus).
Below, we will highlight some of the basic provisions of Louisiana sales tax law.
What is the tax rate range for Louisiana?
State: Louisiana's general sales tax rate is 4.45%.
Local: Local jurisdictions can range from 0% to 8.5%.
Do you have physical or economic nexus in Louisiana?
Physical nexus. Certain business activities create physical nexus in Louisiana. If you have physical nexus, you are required to collect and remit sales tax on all taxable sales that are shipped to Louisiana. Physical presence includes, but is not limited to, the following activities in Louisiana, whether done permanently or temporarily, directly or indirectly, or through an agent or subsidiary:
- owning or operating retail spaces;
- owning, leasing, maintaining, occupying, or using, an office, place of distribution, sales or sample room, warehouse or storage place, or other place of business;
- having an employee, representative, agent, salesman, canvasser, or solicitor operating in Louisiana under the authority of the retailer or subsidiary; and
- storage of property in a third-party facility.
What is physical presence? (#3 in Frequently Asked Questions)
Economic nexus. Louisiana recognizes economic nexus for any vendor with $100,000 or more in gross revenue during the current calendar or immediately preceding calendar year. Once you have economic nexus established, you will be obligated to collect sales tax from buyers in the state.
- Remote sellers are required to register with the Louisiana Sales and Use Tax Commission for Remote Sellers ("Commission") no than 30 calendar days after meeting the economic nexus thresholds
- Remote sellers shall commence collection of state and local sales and use tax at actual rates and bases, once notified the Commission has approved the application, no later than 60 days after surpassing either of the criteria
- Remote sellers only use direct sales for delivery into Louisiana to calculate whether the economic nexus thresholds have been met.
- Sales made through a marketplace may be excluded because those sales determine whether the marketplace itself meets the economic nexus thresholds.
What are examples of sales of taxable items?
- Tangible personal property, unless an exemption applies
- Leases and rentals of tangible personal property
- Certain services
- Prepared food by certain establishments for on-premise consumption
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
What are examples of sales of nontaxable/exempt items?
- Food sold for further preparation and consumption in the home
- Natural gas and electricity
- Prescription drugs
- Certain agricultural items and commodities
Are there any sales tax holidays?
Currently, Louisiana does not have any sales tax holidays.
Is Louisiana a member of the SST (Streamlined Sales Tax)?
Currently, Louisiana is not a full or associate member of the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board (SSTGB).

The parish church of the Nativity of St John the Baptist dominates the lake: built in the 17th century (around 1635), it has undergone numerous works
It consists of a square bell tower-porch (17th century) covered by an imperial roof opening onto a three-aisle vessel with two cross-vaulted bays and a choir with a flat chevet covered by a ribbed vault. The choir and the aisles are lit by 6 bays with figurative stained glass windows made by the master glass artist Alfred Georgeon (20th century). The building is reinforced on the outside by buttresses
This small church has interesting liturgical furniture made in the 18th century by carpenters who were most certainly local and integrated the particularities of the Doubs. The main altarpiece, made of painted and gilded carved wood, is a good example of the Haut-Doubs baroque style, combining the architectural vocabulary of antiquity with cherubs and scenes from the Bible.
We can also mention the pulpit (carved wood), a painting of the Virgin and Child (17th century) and the evangelists painted on the choir vaults (15th century).

I have been experimenting with an ADXL377 accelerometer and have a question as to the validity of the data I am seeing. All three outputs have a 10 nF capacitor making the bandwidth about 500 Hz. The ADXL377 unit is mounted to a test sample attached to a metal block which is struck by a swing arm impact hammer. I am measuring each output at a rate of 400 kHz. The impact event appears to last for about 10 msec. During that time the calculated acceleration oscillates positive and negative which I am interpreting as the sample effectively "vibrating" back and forth. When I mount the ADXL377 on the test sample the frequency of the vibration is about 400-700 Hz. When I mount the ADXL377 directly to the frame of the tester I measure a higher frequency of about 2500 to 3500 Hz which is imposed on the same 400-700 Hz signal. This higher value exceeds the bandwidth of the unfiltered output in the datasheet (Table 1 on page 3). I am not sure how to interpret these results with a "500 Hz" bandwidth filter on the outputs. Seeing the frequency change depending upon what the device is mounted says the output is "real" but measuring a frequency response beyond the filtered output bandwidth of 500 Hz seems suspect. I am not an EE so I am not sure of how to interpret what I see in these data and if it is real or even realistic. So my basic question is this: could these results be real, or am I trying to use the ADXL377 well beyond its intrinsic capabilities?
Here si the output when the ADXL377 is mounted on the impact tester block:
And with the ADXL377 mounted on the test sample (which is mounted to the tester block):
The goal of the test is to quantify the acceleration experienced by the test sample, namely the peak acceleration: X+Y+Z.

London weather: will there be a UK heatwave in August 2022? Here's what the Met Office says
Rumours predict weather in the UK may exceed 30C, just weeks after the hottest heat wave in recorded history in the UK
and live on Freeview channel 276
The potential heatwave, that could hit later this month, comes just days after the UK experienced its driest July since 1935, with harrowing images of reservoirs and lakes bearing barely any surface water, some completely bare.
With the weather in London being largely underwhelming since temperatures reached above 40C for the first time in history, with many craving the hot weather once again.
Will there be a heatwave in London?
Nothing in the immediate weather reports suggests that there will be a heatwave in London, but temperatures will reach 28C on Tuesday, 3 August.
The long range weather forecast, provided by the Met Office for 7 August to 16 August also confirms this, as it says: "Most places are likely to see mainly settled weather at the start of this period, with a mix of cloud and sunny spells across the country. Likely staying cloudy in the north on Sunday, with outbreaks of rain or drizzle as well as some sunny spells possible.
"However, the settled conditions are likely to spread into northern areas over the start of the week, reducing the chance of rain. Temperatures are generally above average, and often very warm or even hot in central and southern parts.
"Further into the period there is still the chance of some periods of organised rain in the north at times, but generally the dry weather is likely to persist across the country. Temperatures remain above average widely, with further spells of very warm weather possible."
Another long range weather forecast, this time for 17 August until the 31 August also seems to dispel any rumours that a heatwave is on its way, as it says: "The settled weather from the start of August is expected to continue at the start of this period, however occasional bouts of more unsettled weather are likely from roughly the middle of the month.
"These increase the likelihood of thunderstorms, especially in the south and west. Temperatures near normal to warm, but very warm and humid at times in the south."
Of course, predicting the weather over a long range is tough, even with all the tools at the Met Office's disposal, as the weather has proven that it can be quite unpredictable in London.
What is a heatwave?
Most people may believe that a heatwave is simply a period of very hot weather, but it is infact a lot more in depth than that.
The Met Office has a set of requirements that if met, the period of weather can then be classed as a heatwave.
On the official Met Office website, they state that in order to be classified as a heatwave, "A UK heatwave threshold is met when a location records a period of at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature threshold. The threshold varies by UK county."

Shiny and Snakes/Tiny Loves Flowers
Shiny gets over her fear of snakes when Tiny challenges the Nature Trackers to meet the ultimate snake: the Sanajeh, a huge Cretaceous snake from what is now India. Dad takes the kids on the Dinosaur Train to find Sana Sanajeh, who may be huge, but turns out to be quite friendly. Once Shiny and Sana become friends, Shiny returns home with the knowledge that snakes aren't scary - they're just another part of nature! Tiny is horrified when her favorite buttercups all wilt, so Mom takes her and the family to the Big Pond, where she remembers seeing a whole lot of buttercups in bloom. On the way there, the Conductor gives the kids a visual lesson in 'Nature's Life Cycle,' explaining how a flower grows, blossoms, then wilts, and returns its seeds to the ground, to start the cycle all over again. Tiny finds her flowers at the Big Pond, both blooming and wilting, and can see nature's life cycle in action.

Historians of science don't on the whole ever become household names, in fact outside of their own speciality they are hardly known at all. The only exceptions are Thomas Kuhn who became notorious for his philosophy of science rather than his history and writers who are popularisers rather than historians such as Jacob Bronowski, Arthur Koestler and Dava Sobel. All the more reason to draw attention to today's birthday girl Agnes Mary Clerke (10.02.1842 – 20.01. 1907).
Agnes Clerke was a historian of astronomy who wrote a book that has been regarded as a classic in the history of science since it was published in 1888, A Popular History of Astronomy during the Nineteenth Century. She also wrote authoritatively about the Herschels and played a significant role in the spread of the relatively new science of astrophysics.
In 1903 she became only the third women to be elected to the Royal Astronomical Society after Caroline Herschel and Mary Sommerville and if you don't know who they are you should.

Sending Emails Easily Using ASP.NET Helpers

Please Sign up or sign in to vote.
This article explains how you can send emails using ASP.NET Web Helpers without having to work with connections.
Introduction
This article is an explanatory to the email sending feature built in ASP.NET using the .NET Web Helpers. This article explains how you can implement those classes inside your ASP.NET website and send the email to your clients using less code.
Background
In today's world, email sending is the base of almost everything. People like to send emails to their friends about the new stuff they just found on the web. They want to send emails to the Web Admins, Friends, etc. to tell what and how they're feeling.
This was handled using C# MailMessage class back then, but now ASP.NET has taken over the Internet related features and it is better to send the emails using ASP.NET's built-in WebMail class feature.
Many users are asking questions related to this problem. So that is why I want to write an article explaining this class and how you can use it and implement it in your own website to allow the users have this email feature.
Environment Requirements
Before you continue to send the emails, there are some things you need to take care of. This article was written using ASP.NET website which was developed using Microsoft WebMatrix. You can get your own copy of WebMatrix from the Microsoft's website for Web.
Once you download this software, you will get all the required softwares that are needed to run your website on your own computer for testing purposes. This software installs the Web Platform Installer, which does all the remaining job for you.
Once done, continue to the next steps.
What is ASP.NET WebMail
ASP.NET WebMail is a class, that works with the email stuff on your website. This class is a helper class, which as MSDN says, "is a component that simplifies web programming in ASP.NET Web Pages". It is a part of .NET Framework's Web Helpers class. You can access this class in many ways, if you're having a .cshtml page (the C# embedded HTML page) where all the classes and namespaces required are compiled within or you can also use this class using its direct class name and access it inside any .cs (C# Class) file.
System.Web.Helpers.WebMail;
This would enable this WebMail feature in your website. After this, you can easily access its properties and methods in your code and send the WebMail (email) from your website or your program software.
Like all other classes, WebMail also has some methods and properties that you can use and customize your service. The built-in members (properites) of the WebMail class are as follows:
 1. EnableSsl (bool)
 This property sets Secure Socket Layer to the email. Most of the SMTP servers ask for it. Today, while I was preparing for this article, I figured out gmail server requires it. Otherwise, it cancels the connection. Once you set it, you can work with it.
 2. From (string)
 This property sets the from field of the webmail. This is also the part of the email where the sender's email is shown.
 3. Password (string)
 This is the password for your user account from where you will be sending the email.
 4. SmtpPort (int)
 This is the port from where you will be connecting and then sending the email to your client on the server. Remember, mostly 25 can be used as its value. But you can also check for the documentation provided by the service provider to know about their port. Gmail accepts 25 server port too. I have always used it.
 5. SmtpServer (string)
 SmtpServer tells the WebMail about the server to connect to. You specify the service provided in this field.
 6. UserName
 The username you're having at the email service provider.
One thing I want to make clear here. There is a difference between From and UserName field. The difference is, UserName is used to connect to the server, where as From field is just passed as a String to the server to tell the From field only. UserName and Password are used to login to the server, they're the same that were provided to you while signing up. For example, my Gmail account is: _EMAIL_ password ******, I would pass this to the UserName and Password fields and the From field can be my brother's email too or my company email, etc.
Do keep the above stated paragraph in mind!
Now let's talk about the methods provided by the WebMail class, as we know this is an email related class so there is only one method provided by it. It is:
public static void Send(
 string to,
 string subject,
 string body,
 string from,
 string cc,
 IEnumerable<string> filesToAttach,
 bool isBodyHtml,
 IEnumerable<string> additionalHeaders,
 string bcc,
 string contentEncoding,
 string headerEncoding,
 string priority,
 string replyTo
)
The only method this class provides is the Send method which is used to send the email. You don't need to configure this class or the instance you create like you did in the MailMessage you just pass the parameters and WebMail handles it all.
The only required parameters would be discussed here, remaining are just optional. Whether you provide them or not, WebMail doesn't care about it. One more thing, and it is the most interesting is that you don't need to keep the sequence in mind. You can pass them in any order, just remember to pass the first three parameters in order. Since they're required.
 1. to (string)
 This is the email address of the receiver.
 2. subject (string)
 The subject for the email being sent. A short message to describe the email.
 3. body (string)
 This is the parameter that has all of the email body content. You pass the entire HTML that would form the email body of the web mail in this parameter. You can attach images to the document you can stylize the HTML content using the HTML codes for bold, italic, etc.
 4. isBodyHtml (bool)
 Used to indicate that the HTML inside the body parameter should be rendered as an HTML markup instead of plain string.
The remaining parameters are not as much required and the email would be sent using just these parameters. Even though the isBodyHtml parameter was also not required one, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Using the Code
You can download the attachment that has been attached to this article. It includes all the code required for you to test this article code and understand the process.
First of all, I have changed the location of the website to run the email page by default when the user tries to go to the main page. To code for it is as:
Response.Redirect("~/SendEmail");
Remove this if you want to build your project from the template I provided you with.
Moving on to the next step is the usage of a simple HTML form element to accept the data from the user and pass it to the server for processing purposes. For that, I have had a simple SendEmail.cshtml page inside the root folder and I have had written the very basic form as:
@{
 Layout = "~/_SiteLayout.cshtml";
 Page.Title = "Send email";
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

Send basic Email - ASP.NET WebMail helper

 <form method="post" action="ProcessFile.cshtml">

 Your name:

 <input type="text" name="customerName" />

 Your email address:

 <input type="text" name="customerEmail" />

 Subject line:

 <input type="text" size= 30 name="subjectLine" />

 Message:

 <textarea name="message" style="width: 300px;"></textarea>

 File to attach:

 <input type="text" name="fileAttachment" />

 <input type="submit" value="Submit" />

 </form>

You can see that the HTML is pretty simple and understandable, you can add the details to the form like your name, your email address your message and then if you want to attach you can attach the file to the WebMail. As I have already mentioned in the above block, you don't need to be passing any parameter

About James Sthreshley Jackson
James Streshly Jackson (September 27, 1823 – October 8, 1862) was a U.S. Representative from Kentucky and a brigadier general in the Union Army during the American Civil War.
Born in Fayette County, Kentucky, Jackson pursued classical studies at Centre College, Danville, Kentucky. He was graduated from Jefferson College, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1844, and from the law department of Transylvania University, Lexington, Kentucky, in 1845. That same year he was admitted to the bar and began the practice of law in Greenupsburg, Kentucky.
During the Mexican-American War, Jackson enlisted as a private in the 1st Kentucky Cavalry, June 9, 1846; he was commissioned third lieutenant on July 9, 1846. Jackson participated in a duel with Captain Thomas Francis Marshall, but fearing a court martial, he resigned October 10, 1846.
Jackson moved to Hopkinsville in 1859. He was elected as a Unionist to the Thirty-seventh Congress and served from March 4 to December 13, 1861, when he resigned to enter the Union Army.
Jackson raised a troop of cavalrymen and was commissioned colonel of the 3rd Kentucky Cavalry on December 13, 1861. He became a brigadier general of volunteers on July 16, 1862. Jackson commanded the 10th Division in the Army of the Ohio and was killed at the Battle of Perryville on October 8, 1862. He was first buried in Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery and reinterred March 24, 1863 in Riverside Cemetery in Hopkinsville.

Learning to Imagine Manipulation Goals for Robot Task Planning
Nov 03, 2017 (modified: Nov 03, 2017)ICLR 2018 Conference Blind Submissionreaders: everyoneShow Bibtex
Abstract:Prospection is an important part of how humans come up with new task plans, but has not been explored in depth in robotics. Predicting multiple task-level is a challenging problem that involves capturing both task semantics and continuous variability over the state of the world. Ideally, we would combine the ability of machine learning to leverage big data for learning the semantics of a task, while using techniques from task planning to reliably generalize to new environment. In this work, we propose a method for learning a model encoding just such a representation for task planning. We learn a neural net that encodes the k most likely outcomes from high level actions from a given world. Our approach creates comprehensible task plans that allow us to predict changes to the environment many time steps into the future. We demonstrate this approach via application to a stacking task in a cluttered environment, where the robot must select between different colored blocks while avoiding obstacles, in order to perform a task. We also show results on a simple navigation task. Our algorithm generates realistic image and pose predictions at multiple points in a given task.
TL;DR:We describe an architecture for generating diverse hypotheses for intermediate goals during robotic manipulation tasks.
