Having a reliable water supply is very important to our communities and the region. Scoggins Dam is the centerpiece of Washington County's water supply and a major asset to the region.
More than 15 years ago, community leaders started working on the Tualatin Basin Water Supply Project and identified a dam raise alternative to store more water for the region.
It makes little sense to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to secure a dam without simultaneously allowing for increased water supply. The sustained and recurring droughts in Oregon and other western states underscore the need to address not only the threat of earthquakes but also the threat of water shortages. The integration of Reclamation's Safety of Dams improvements with the Tualatin Basin Water Supply Project would allow federal, state and local agencies to leverage their shared investments in order to protect public safety, secure the region's primary water supply and meet the long-term needs of our community.

Upon first glance, this paper peeled from 2-year-old rice paper plants looks lightweight, inexpensive and unremarkable.
However, make no mistake of underestimating its powers. With a little water and a brush, this potent canvas is capable of "awakening" colors.
The special texture of pith paper, coupled with its unique ability to absorb and store pigments, ensures that the colors will not fade with time.
Pith paintings, also known as "tong cao hua," gained popularity in 19th century Guangzhou and appealed to international traders.
Pith painting master Su Xin unfolds the unique history of pith paintings, which is characterized by its fusion of "western perspective painting" with "court-style skills from China".
These comprehensive paintings mostly depicted Guangzhou's people, landscape, and daily life. Over the years, the colors preserved from these paintings continue to tell vibrant stories of people's lives.

A fundamental understanding of acidity at an interface, as mediated by structure and molecule–surface interactions, is essential to elucidate the mechanisms of a range of chemical transformations. While the strength of an acid in homogeneous gas and solution phases is conceptually well understood, acid–base chemistry at heterogeneous interfaces is notoriously more complicated. Using density functional theory and nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy, we present a method to determine the interfacial Brønsted–Lowry acidity of aliphatic alcohols adsorbed on the (100) surface of the model perovskite, strontium titanate. While shorter and less branched alkanols are known to be less acidic in the gas phase and more acidic in solution, here we show that shorter alcohols are less acidic whereas less substituted alkanols are more acidic at the gas–oxide interface. Hydrogen bonding plays a critical role in defining acidity, whereas structure–acidity relationships are dominated by van der Waals interactions between the alcohol and the surface.

Command post of the Future
Man, machine interface. Doug Engelbart's (of ARPA) vision of the computer as enhancing the human intellect requires people also to grow to meet the machine. Chording keyboard allows one handed typing.
Also wanted to change how groups intact. Hence command post of the future. Uses data structures designed to allow putting human knowledge into a computer dstabase mind, to allow command staff to input all of their plans on the same map, and visualize it. Opps guy develops a plan, drags it over to the logistics guy's map and he can work on how to support it. Commander can see it all, our zoom in to one user's map.

Set up a POST workflow action
You set up POST workflow actions in a manner similar to that of GET link actions. However, POST requests are typically defined by a form element in HTML along with some inputs that are converted into POST arguments. This means that you have to identify POST arguments to send to the identified URI.
Note: During transmission, variables passed in URIs for POST actions are URL encoded, which means you can include values that have spaces between words or punctuation characters. However, if you are working with a field that has an HTTP address as its value, and you want to pass the entire field value as a URI, you should use the $! prefix to keep Splunk software from escaping the field value. See "Use the $! prefix to prevent escape of URL or HTTP form field values" below for more information.
 1. Navigate to Settings > Fields > Workflow Actions.
 2. Click New to open up a new workflow action form.
 3. Define a Label for the action.
 The Label field enables you to define the text that is displayed in either the field or event workflow menu. Labels can be static or include the value of relevant fields.
 4. Determine whether the workflow action applies to specific fields or event types in your data.
 Use Apply only to the following fields to identify one or more fields. When you identify fields, the workflow action only appears events that have those fields, either in their event menu or field menus. If you leave it blank or enter an asterisk the action appears in menus for all fields.
 Use Apply only to the following event types to identify one or more event types. If you identify an event type, the workflow action only appears in the event menus for events that belong to the event type.
 5. For Show action in determine whether you want the action to appear in the Event menu, the Fields menus, or Both.
 6. Set Action type to Link.
 7. Under URI provide the URI for a web resource that responds to POST requests.
 8. Under Open link in, determine whether the workflow action displays in the current window or if it opens the link in a new window.
 9. Set Link method to Post.
 10. Under Post arguments define arguments that should be sent to web resource at the identified URI.
 These arguments are key and value combinations. On both the key and value sides of the argument, you can use field names enclosed in dollar signs to identify the field value from your events that should be sent over to the resource. You can define multiple key/value arguments in one POST workflow action.
 Enter the key in the first field, and the value in the second field. Click Add another field to create an additional POST argument.
 11. Click Save to save your workflow action definition. Splunk software automatically HTTP-form encodes variables that it passes in POST link actions via URIs. This means you can include values that have spaces between words or punctuation characters.
Example - Allow an http error to create an entry in an issue tracking application
You have configured your Splunk app to extract HTTP status codes from a web service log as a field called http_status. Along with the http_status field the events typically contain either a normal single-line description request, or a multiline python stacktrace originating from the python process that produced an error.
You want to design a workflow action that only appears for error events where http_status is in the 500 range. You want the workflow action to send the associated python stacktrace and the HTTP status code to an external issue management system to generate a new bug report. However, the issue management system only accepts POST requests to a specific endpoint.
Here's how you might set up the POST workflow action that fits your requirements:
POST wf action example b.png
Note that the first POST argument sends server error $http_status$ to a title field in the external issue tracking system. If you select this workflow action for an event with an http_staus of 500, then it opens an issue with the title server error 500 in the issue tracking system.
The second POST argument uses the _raw field to include the multiline python stacktrace in the description field of the new issue.
Finally, note that the workflow action has been set up so that it only applies to events belonging to the errors_in_500_range event type. This is an event type that is only applied to events carrying http_error values in the typical HTTP error range of 500 or greater. Events with HTTP error codes below 500 do not display the submit error report workflow action in their event or field menus.
Use the $! prefix to prevent escape of URL or HTTP form field values
When you define fields for workflow actions, you can escape these fields so that they can be passed safely to an external endpoint using HTTP. However, in certain cases this escaping is undesirable. In these cases, use the $! prefix to prevent the field value from being escaped. This prefix prevents URL escape for GET workflow actions and HTTP form escape for POST workflow actions.
Example - Passing an HTTP address to a separate browser window
You have a GET workflow action that works with a field named http. The http field has fully formed HTTP addresses as values. This workflow action opens a new browser window that points at the HTTP address value of the http field. The workflow action does not work if it opens the new window with an escaped HTTP address.
To prevent the HTTP address from escaping, use the $! prefix. In Settings, where you might normally set URI to $http$ for this workflow action, instead set it to $!http$.

History of Dutch pancakes
Pancakes are eaten and made in a variety of styles all over the world. Many argue claiming that pancakes first originated in their hometown country. Even though most evidence connects the dots from an ancient Roman trade, it is said that the French are responsible for the creation of the so-called crepes we eat today. In today's world, however, the Dutch have taken the lead role and are well reputed as the best pancake makers in the world. With their scrumptious delights and recipes that include sugar, milk vanilla, cloves, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg and a variety of spices that can leave your mouth in an ultimate foodgasm.
Historical traces have shown that during the 1683 era, De Verstandige Kock (The Sensible Cook) that began to market authentic Dutch pancake recipes, has influenced people on a global scale and has led to the foundation of what we like to call the Holland pancake. Historians believe that pancakes were not invented by just one person but rather evolved independently in Holland. In fact, the first pancakes were created with the batter we now use for preparations but a mixture of eggs, milk, dried seeds, flowers which were baked on a hot stone. It is considered that Dutch emigrants introduced the buckwheat pancakes to the Americans. Also known as 'Hoecake' in reference to the flat ladle used to bake, it soon evolved to be called 'Pancakes'.
Why is Dutch Pancakes Special?
Dutch citizens and emigrants insist their Dutch pancakes are the best, it is the time, that we need to face the facts, they really know what they are doing. One can say it is because of the specific ingredients they use while preparing Dutch toppings such as chocolate hazelnut infused syrups and icing sugar dusting. If you are not fortunate enough to live in the Netherlands you can try cafes in Mumbai that offer the authentic taste of culinary fascination. 99Pancakes is a cafe that serves up heritage Dutch Pancakes with traditional toppings. The mini dutch pancakes is a crowd grabber and highly recommended. You can also test your skills by their 'make your own Pancake' by picking all your custom toppings and garnishes.
Mini Pancake History:
Although originated in France, this marvel delicacy is totally unknown to France. The Dutch Mini Pancakes takes the prize as a real holland specialty that only a few can master. A Dutch Mini Pancake is sweet and elegant baked over traditional or special designed dutch pancake making machines to cater to the bulk demand. It can be topped with all kinds of fresh fruits and nuts and splurged with your favorite chocolate goodies like choc chips and flakes and topped off with icing sugar dusting and chocolate sauce. Victor Manca, the owner of Manca's Cafe, Seattle is credited to introducing this dish to gain global popularity.
Have you ever tried a pancake at home or in a cafe? What was your favorite combination of toppings? Was it easy to make it at home? Have you ever tasted the Mini Dutch Pancakes? Do you prefer the Dutch or the french version? Please share your stories or leave your comments below.

You define Vanity URLs in CQ to create easy-to-remember and easy-to-search URLs on your website.
The following video demonstrates how to define a Vanity URL for a specific page on your website.
To verify the vanity URL that you created using the steps in the video, do the following:
- Go to the Adobe CQ5 Web Console (http://localhost:4502/system/console/jcrresolver).
- Enter the name of the vanity URL in the Test text box of the Configuration Test section and click Resolve.
The result of the test appears in the next line.
If you defined the URL correctly, the path value in the result displays the resolved URL.
You can also use the Sling Resource Resolver to verify issues that you face when creating vanity URLs.
For example, if the vanity URL does not exist:
Also, you defined a vanity URL but when you test the URL on the browser, another page shows up.
Again, you can use the Sling Resource Resolver to verify the resolved URL for a vanity URL. For example, you defined the same vanity URL (dealoftheday) for two pages on your website.
This issue occurs since you define vanity URLs by page. So it's necessary to go to a specific page to define a vanity URL for that page. In this case, you inadvertently set the same vanity URL for two pages.
To get around this issue, you can either go to the Sling Resource Resolver and go through the list of Resolver Map Entries. This list contains defiend vanity URLs.
Alternatively, you can use the URL Mapping feature of CQ to replicate this functionality.
To create a URL map between a /content URL in your repository and a shortened URL:
- Go to the Configuration tab of the Adobe CQ5 Web Console (http://localhost:4503/system/console/configMgr).
- Go to the Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver section.
- Click the + sign in the URL Mappings section.
- In the new text box, enter the resolved URL and the vanity URL.
- Click Save.
- Finally, follow the steps to verify your vanity URL, goingforgold.

Kevin Van Leer, senior product manager – Model Product Management, RMS
22:00 UTC Thursday, October 12
After four days of active burning throughout the wine growing regions of Northern California, there are still eight fires threatening both lives and significant amounts of exposure. Conditions conducive to fire ignition and spread persist, and have resulted in extreme fire behavior, especially during the nights of Sunday, October 8, and Wednesday, October 11, in which strong, dry Diablo winds were observed. In total, over 100,000 acres have been burned in Napa, Sonoma, and Solano counties alone, with several additional fires ongoing throughout the state of California.
RMS has produced daily perimeter progressions using the latest satellite information, focusing on the impact of the fires in the three counties noted above. The progressions shown in the figure below highlight the rapid growth observed in the initial hours of the fires from Sunday night through Monday morning. The progressions of the fires are a clear indication of the strength and direction of the winds that were present during this period. Also, shown for context is the perimeter of the 2015 Valley Fire that destroyed over 1,900 structures and 76,000 acres. That fire resulted in approximately US$900 million in insured loss, according to Property Claim Services (PCS).
Using in-house, high-resolution exposure information and the satellite-derived fire perimeters, RMS analysis calculates that the perimeters include approximately 15,000 structures and US$14 billion in total exposure. The table below provides a breakdown of the impacted exposure. The 3,500 structures reportedly destroyed in these fires as of today is in line with RMS historical event research into the fraction of structures within a perimeter that are either damaged or destroyed.
Based on the fire perimeters representative of the information available at the time of this blog post on October 12, RMS estimates an economic loss range between US$3 billion to US$6 billion. Because of the high penetration rate of wildfire coverage in standard residential and non-residential policies, this range also represents an estimate of insured losses. The range includes loss due to property damage, contents and business interruption caused by the burn component of the fires to residential, commercial, and industrial lines of business.
It does not include automobile or agricultural crop losses, smoke damage, or any factor for post-loss amplification. Because of the impacts to the wine industry throughout the region, RMS notes the significant uncertainty regarding the long-term business interruption for this event, which could result in a higher total loss.
It is important to note that these events are still on-going and the perimeters of the active fires may change significantly before containment. Therefore, these exposure and loss estimate are considered preliminary and are representative of the current situations. RMS will continue to provide updates on this event through RMS Owl and this blog.

A dozen graves are marked with similar stones. The names identify prevalent share cropper families and former slaves who quickly climbed the economic ladder in their community.
Dozens more are marked by flat, rust colored limestone. They are nameless, weathered by time and remain only a symbol of a life lived and a resting place to be revered not disturbed.
For decades the Pinkston Cemetery was forgotten and swallowed by forest and underbrush.
Marilyn Kelley, Pinkston's great-granddaughter, brought the cemetery back to life. She painstakingly researched the cemetery to establish its significance to Smith County and Texas history. With the help of the Smith County Historical Society members, Ms. Kelley garnered a state historical marker for the site in 2011.
"It was lost, but now it is found and protected," she said. "It's an honor to give back."
Attorney and local historian Randy Gilbert encouraged and helped Ms. Kelley along the way. He and his cohorts at the historical society have been seeking and finding forgotten cemeteries around the county since the 1970s. Many of the cemeteries date back to the establishment of the county seat in 1846. Some date before.
Gilbert, along with the historical and genealogical society, has uncovered documents referring to 246 cemeteries around the county. They include cemeteries drivers on Broadway Avenue pass daily, family and community plots located after years of neglect and those that remain lost. Of those lost cemeteries, Gilbert has an approximate idea that 40 sites are close to roads or near geographical identifiers but he has not set eyes on or mapped them.
Locating the cemeteries and mapping them for posterity is much easier now with Google Earth and GPS, he said. In the 1970s it took digging through deed records, obituaries and finding landowners willing to talk, he said.
"You know by old road records and church listings that there was a cemetery in the area but actually finding gravestones and putting your hands on them and putting a name to the location to check it off the list takes crossing fences," he said.
Gilbert said a substantial number of cemetery sites are on private property with little to no access other than trespassing. But it's important enough for Gilbert that he tracks landowners down. On occasion, he said, a hunter will come across what appears to be graves and reports them to the Historical Society.
One landowner in eastern Smith County who has a cemetery with graves predating the county seat and who asked that he and the location of the site remain anonymous, said fear of vandalism, trespassing and the liability of having people cross onto his land make him hesitant to discuss the site.
"We're trying to protect it," he said. "I don't want to bring any attention to it at all."
Secrecy is required, because 15 years ago gravestones were vandalized and knocked over, he said. Other times the owner found curious trespassers who had a general idea where the cemetery was located.
It sits about a mile from the nearest road in a grove of trees. There are no roads or trails to the site with around 100 gravestones ranging from weathered limestone to large marble markers. Seclusion provides security, but it also makes the site difficult to monitor.
He also fears attention from the state, which might demand easements and access roads across his land. Secrecy can save cemeteries, but it also can disturb them and leave landowners in the lurch.
In 2012, Gilbert became aware of a possible gravesite being disturbed by a landowner building a home on recently purchased land. Smith County Sheriff's Department investigated the reports and determined with ground-penetrating radar that "anomalies were consistent with that of graves."
Investigator Bobby Van Ness said the landowner cooperated fully with investigators and faced no criminal charges, because he was unaware the land he bulldozed covered graves. The landowner may file civil litigation against the seller who may have not disclosed the graves.
Texas Historical Commission Debbi Head said reporting, identifying and protecting is important to safeguard historic and forgotten cemeteries. The Record, Identify and Protect program by the commission works closely with counties and local historic preservation groups to chart cemeteries.
State laws exist to protect cemeteries from vandalism, theft and desecration. Disturbing sites can lead to charges from misdemeanors to a state jail felony.
But protecting the cemeteries takes interest by communities, she said.
"That's why it's so important to have them in the record that spells out their boundaries so they are there for future generations," she said. "They are a part of our history."
Gilbert asked that anyone with information regarding possible gravesites, community plots or cemeteries around the county, to contact the Smith County Historical Society at _PHONE_ or the Texas Historical Commission.

The goal of water governance is specified from five dimensions, including resources, economy, sociality, ecology and environment. The evaluation index system of the water governance in China is systematically designed. The current situation of water governance is comprehensively evaluated and the variation trend of China's water governance in 2020-2050 is forecasted using the hierarchical equal weight method and the target consistency method. The results show that the index of water governance has been increased quickly from below 0. 235 to near 0. 70 since the reform and opening-up. The acceleration period of water governance is from 2010 to 2015, in which the water governance index has increased about 50%. It is expected that the water governance index will exceed 0. 85 by 2020, and the harmonization between economic development and water resources utilization will be realized. The index of water governance will reach 0. 95 by 2030, and the harmonization between economic development and water pollution will be realized. The capacity of water safety support can be significantly improved and the water governance targets can be realized basically. The index of water governance will reach the optimum value of 1 by 2050, and the water resources utilization, water pollution discharge, water disaster loss and water ecology degradation area will be zero growth, fully achieving the harmony between human and water.

While some stories find themselves in the spotlight, others remain in the shadows. Covid-19 has worsened social divides that already existed between people of different origins, backgrounds, or gender before the crisis. Cafébabel is exploring this problem in a new long-form series.
For a long time we at Cafébabel have been publishing stories about unique European experiences: from promoting innovative solutions to social problems to answering questions raised by citizens across the continent. In these times of crisis and uncertainty, parts of the population are suffering disproportionately from the consequences of Covid-19. We have therefore set out to report on this phenomenon in the way we've have always striven to: up close, authentically, and in the field.
We plan to make 2021 the year of Cafébabel. That's why we're starting from the offset with a new series of long-form articles. Inequality Unmasked follows individuals who are fighting against social injustice and discrimination, and campaigning for a better and more dignified quality of life. We start with three articles that bring distinctive types of social inequality in Europe to light: How can we provide distance learning to children living in Roma camps in Italy? How do we protect the health of logistics personnel when, despite sanitary risks, their employers are asking them to work more and more? How are people that struggle to read or write supposed to thrive in an increasingly digitized world?
You can read all of these stories on the Inequality Unmasked site.

Mood rings space quite well-known these days. Castle were an initial introduced in the 1970s through two new Yorkers. Due to the fact that then, mood rings have garnered a many popularity. They are not just limited to brand-new York anymore, you can find different species of the atmosphere rings almost everywhere the world. They make for an remarkable jewelry items that can be bought at a an extremely affordable price.

How carry out Mood rings Function
A the atmosphere ring is simply a crystal thermometer in a ring form. It reflects the present mood that the human being wearing the ring. The rings adjust color according to the mood of the person. Human beings emit a many of power from their bodies. The emission of power depends upon ours moods as well. Human being who are anxious often tend to release more energy as contrasted to civilization who are happy. The atmosphere rings feeling this heat power and readjust colors follow to the strongness of emitted heat. Mood rings have the right to also help you medically. If your mood ring regularly alters to dark colors favor gray or black color then girlfriend should certainly take the seriously. Regular change to dark colour can aid you identify medical issues with her body together well.
The color resonate with the the atmosphere of the person however it's the temperature of the body the acts as a significant player in the ideal functioning of mood rings.
How are Mood rings Made
Mood rings carry out not constantly have initial gemstones. They occasionally use glass or hole quartz stones together well. The stones are filled through thermochromic liquid crystals. Thermo-chromic fluid crystals adjust color through the readjust in temperature. This is why the ring shows different colors during different situations. The lower part of the ring deserve to be made by different varieties of metal including steel, aluminum and other comparable materials. Friend can additionally find luxurious mood ring in the sector that have a stint of gold or silverin it. These rings are reasonably expensive than common mood rings.
The many important component of any mood ring is the hollow rock that holds the thermochromic liquid. The stone works best when the is in direct contact with her skin. This days, atmosphere rings can be found in different shapes and also designs. The shape and design of the atmosphere rings execute not impact their functionality. The stone can conveniently be affixed ~ above different varieties of ring designs.
Mood rings deserve to accurately predict your emotions. They work-related on the simple principle of heat emission for this reason they room bound to constantly show an accurate result. Every emotion and feeling has its own level of energy emission. Some of them are provided below;Green: CalmnessViolet: Excited, HappyBlack: TenseGray: AnxiousAmber: Nervous

Apple examining ways to detect light through a display for Face ID, Touch ID
article thumbnail
Apple is continuing to refine its work on light sensors that could work through a display, likely for use in a future version of Face ID or Touch ID on an iPhone.
Current iPhone models, like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro series, house their Face ID system and sensor suite in a notch at the top of the display. Apple, however, is working on a system that could ultimately allow it to minimize or nix the notch entirely.
In a patent application published March 4 and titled "Sensing System for Detection of Light Incident to a Light Emitting Layer of an Electronic Device Display," Apple lays out a system to embed a light detection layer in the display stack. "In particular, light sensors associated with the light sensing system can be distributed around or within an active display area of the display," the patent reads.
The patent gives two immediate examples, claiming that the light sensors could "assemble an image of an object touching the display." That could work for in-display Touch ID based on an optical imaging system. The patent also contends that the iPhone's ambient light sensor could also be included.
An array of light sensors embedded between pixel areas of a display. Credit: Apple
More specifically, the system itself could include an array of photodiodes or solar cells integrated between pixels regions or the perimeter of a light-emitting display. The system could use electrical signals from the photodiodes or solar cells to "sense a color" or the "intensity of light incident to the display stack."
The patent notes that it mostly covers use of the system for an ambient light sensor, but adds that its value doesn't stop there.
"[An ambient light sensor] is merely one example and in other implementations the light sensing system can be suitably configured to be used as, or with: an optical imaging system (e.g. camera, light field sensor, depth sensor, fingerprint imaging sensor, iris or retina imaging system, and so on); a touch input sensor; a force input sensor; a biometric measurement system (e.g., photoplethysmogram sensor, blood oxygenation sensor, respiration sensor, and so on); and so on," the patent claims.
Most of the patent's descriptions focus on the ambient light sensor. Even if it's only used for an ambient light sensor, the system could be used to reduce the size of the notch in future iPhone models since the light sensor is currently embedded in the notch.
However, given rumors that Apple is looking to minimize the notch or bring back Touch ID on a future handset, it's likely that the patent application is part of a growing body of technology that could make that happen.
The patent application lists Mohammad Yeke Yazdandoost; Lun Tsai; Meng-Huan Ho; Niva A. Ran; Akshay Bhat; Volodymyr Borshch; Anand K. Chamakura; and Giovanni Gozzini as its inventors. Many of them have been previously credited on patent applications related to display-embedded components, including cellular or Wi-Fi antennas or under-display Touch ID.
Apple files numerous patents on a weekly basis, so an individual patent application isn't a good indicator of the timing or likelihood of a product release.

ching process was modeled as a laser light induced reaction whose creation rate can be described as(15)
where is the distribution of laser intensity in the simulation geometry, is the concentration of the molecules which are bleached, and is the maximum reaction rate. The profile of the laser pulse was either cylindrical with a sharp boundary at a radius of 1.85 m, or a Gaussian with an HWHM of 1.85 m (Fig. 5 a). The length of the bleach pulse in the fast and slow bleach simulations was adjusted to 1 ms and 75 ms, respectively. The time lag between the bleach and first recovery data point was 0 ms in the fast and 25 ms in the slow bleach simulations. The simulation time step was set to 0.1 ms or 1 ms, and the fluorescence intensity was recorded at 20 ms intervals. The recovery data were normalized as in the FRAP experiments.

Simulations are for two different bleach locations, different bleach phase durations, and different bleach-laser profiles. (a) A bleached region in the middle of an isotropic environment immediately after a 1 ms bleach pulse with either a cylindrical (diameter 3.7 m) or Gaussian bleach-laser profile (FWHM 3.7 m). (b) A cross section of the cell with the bleached region far away from the cell boundaries and the nucleus. The blow-up images show the bleached region after 1 ms and 75 ms bleach pulses for the cylindrical bleach profile, and after a 75 ms bleach pulse for the Gaussian profile. (c) A bleached region near the cell boundary and immediately after a 75 ms bleach pulse for the Gaussian bleach profile. (d) The recovery curves for an isotropic environment and 1 ms bleach time with a cylindrical (purple) or Gaussian (dark green) bleach profile, for a real cell geometry with a cylindrical bleach profile and 1 ms (blue) or 75 ms (black) bleach time, with a Gaussian bleach profile and 75 ms (dark gray) bleach time, and for a bleached region near the cell boundary with a Gaussian bleach profile and 75 ms bleach time (light gray). Scale bars 10 m.
doi:10.1371/journal.pone._PHONE_.g005
We first produced data with different bleach profiles on a geometry (25 m×25 m, with a thickness of 1 m and a pixel size of 100 nm) that very nearly conformed to the assumptions made in the Soumpasis method. Next we generated similar data on fluorescence recovery with different bleaching times in two different locations within a 2D digital cell outline determined from an LSCM image of an NLFK cell, with a thickness of 1 m and a pixel size of 200 nm (Fig. 5 b and c).
As expected, in the ideal case the Soumpasis method recovered the correct value for the diffusion coefficient, especially at the low end of the values used. High diffusion coefficients produced some variation as the size of the periodic box had then a detectable effect on the results. The biggest difference was found for a Gaussian bleach profile placed near the boundary of the cell outline, and a bleach time of 75 ms. In this case the Soumpasis-method diffusion coefficient was 1.56 m/s, while the correct value was 25 m/s, a difference by a factor of about 20 (see Fig. 6 for example recovery curves in different experimental conditions).

Figure 6. Virtual Cell simulation results for different FRAP experiments (blue) and their fits by the free diffusion model of Soumpasis (green).
In the upper panels the bleach duration is very short, 1 ms, while the simulation geometry and bleach profile are varied. In the lower panels the bleach duration is much longer, 75 ms, and bleaching is done in a 2D outline derived from a real cell, either in the middle of the cell or near the plasma membrane.
doi:10.1371/journal.pone._PHONE_.g006
We then analyzed the same Virtual Cell data by the new LB method introduced here. We found very good agreement in all cases between the correct diffusion coefficient and the one obtained with the LB method, with a maximal deviation of 6%.
We also investigated the effect of data normalization on the FRAP results. In the Soumpasis method data are normalized as in Axelrod et al. [12]. However, the normalization introduced by Phair & Misteli [10], designed so as to include fluorescence loss in the imaging phase, is also very often used. In general, PM normalization increases the diffusion coefficient obtained. This increase seems, however, to be an artefact which arises from the fact that the recovery curve in the Soumpasis method begins at zero and asymptotically approaches one, but when the PM normalization is used, the initial intensity in the recovery phase can be anything between 0 and 1. This problem was demonstrated with the Virtual Cell data for which the Soumpasis method with Axelrod normalization gave the correct result. If we used instead the PM normalization, diffusion coefficients about four times too big were found. A full account of all the analyses done of the various Virtual Cell data is given in Table 1.

Results
FRAP analysis
We performed FRAP experiments on EYFP-expressing NLFK and HeLa cells. When the measured recovery data were analyzed by the Soumpasis method, we found a cytoplasm diffusion coefficient of m/s (n = 8) for the NLFK cells and m/s (n = 13) for the HeLa cells.
In the new methods introduced, excellent correlations were found between experimental and simulated frames, and the corresponding fluorescence recoveries were also highly consistent (Fig. 7 a). The resulted cytosol diffusion coefficient, , was m/s for the NLFK (n = 12) cells and m/s for the HeLa (n = 13) cells. The difference in the liquid phase properties ('viscosity') of these cells is statistically significant (), which indicates that they have different macromolecular concentrations. The average cytoplasm diffusion coefficients, , were m/s for the NLFK and m/s for the HeLa cells, being thus quite similar. In both cell lines the cytoplasm diffusion coefficient, , varied significantly (Fig. 7 c).

The emphasis was here on the cytoplasm, but the method automatically produced diffusion coefficients for the nucleus. The nucleosol diffusion coefficients, , were found to be m/s for the NLFK and m/s for the HeLa cells, while the average nucleoplasm diffusion coefficients, , were m/s (NLFK) and m/s (HeLa). In these values the uncertainty is obviously rather large as the measurements were not optimized here for their accurate determination. They can, however, be already used for qualitative conclusions.
FFM analysis
As a local measurement technique for gaining further insight into the protein diffusion dynamics, we used FFM (Fig. 8). We measured the cytoplasm diffusion coefficient at 1 to 6 points inside 44 NLFK cells (138 measurement points in total) and at 1 to 9 points inside 50 HeLa cells (198 points in total), from the same cell lines as in the FRAP experiments. The data were fitted by a two diffusing components model [23], whose fast component was estimated to correspond to the cytosol diffusion coefficient determined by the new method introduced here (see the discussion below). In this way we obtained for the cytoplasm an average diffusion coefficient of m/s for the NLFK and m/s for the HeLa cells. Note that these values are indeed very similar to the ones found by the new FRAP analysis method for the cytosol, m/s for the NLFK and m/s for the HeLa cells.

ASP Lecture. "Between Religious and Secular: Impact of the 1908 Revolution on Religious Politics in the Ottoman Empire."
Add to Cal
 - Speaker: Bedross Der Matossian, assistant professor of history, University of Nebraska–Lincoln
 - Host Department: Armenian Studies Program (ASP)
 - Date: 12/18/2013
 - Time: 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
 - Description:
 The lecture deals with the ways in which the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 led to changes in the dynamics of power among non-Muslim religious communities of the Ottoman Empire. It will demonstrate the ways in which the revolution influenced ecclesiastic politics in Istanbul, Mount Lebanon, and Jerusalem. What was the impact of the revolution on the non-Muslim communities? How and why did these ethnoreligious communities internalize the revolution? Why was the revolution more successful in creating new orders among certain ethno-religious groups? Why was the attempt unsuccessful among other groups? The cases of Istanbul (Armenians and Jews), Mount Lebanon (Maronite Church), and Jerusalem (Greeks, Armenians, and Jews) provide good examples of how the revolution shook the traditional foundations of these ecclesiastic powers. The lecture contends that post-revolutionary ethnic politics in the Ottoman Empire should not be viewed from the prism of political parties alone, but rather through ecclesiastic politics, which was a key factor in defining interand intra-ethnic politics. Interestingly, despite the fact that the revolution aimed at creating a modern secular Ottoman citizen whose loyalty was to the state, it nevertheless strengthened the ethno-religious political centers of the ethnic groups.

The Early Life and Education of Vandana Shiva
Born in the verdant landscapes of Dehradun, India, in 1952, Vandana Shiva was raised in a family that valued and respected nature. Her father, a conservator of forests, and her mother, a farmer with a love for nature, instilled in her a deep appreciation for the environment from a young age. This early exposure to the wonders of nature played a significant role in shaping her future career as an environmental activist and proponent of organic farming.
Shiva's academic journey was as impressive as it was diverse. She pursued her bachelor's degree in Physics at Panjab University, followed by a master's degree in the Philosophy of Science at the University of Guelph in Canada. Her thirst for knowledge didn't stop there. She went on to earn a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Western Ontario, where her dissertation focused on quantum theory. This solid academic foundation provided her with the necessary tools to critically analyze and challenge the prevailing paradigms of science, technology, and environmental policy.
Vandana Shiva's Journey into Environmental Activism
Dr. Vandana Shiva, a renowned scholar and environmental activist, embarked on her journey into environmental activism in the early 1980s. Her passion for the environment was ignited by the Chipko movement, a grassroots initiative in India aimed at protecting forests from being felled. This movement, which involved local women hugging trees to prevent them from being cut down, was a turning point in Shiva's life. It inspired her to dedicate her life to the cause of environmental conservation and sustainable agriculture.
Shiva's work in environmental activism is characterized by her strong advocacy for organic farming and biodiversity. She founded the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Natural Resource Policy in 1982, an organization dedicated to developing sustainable methods of agriculture. Her work has been instrumental in promoting organic farming practices in India and abroad. Some of her notable achievements include:
- Establishing Navdanya, a network of seed keepers and organic producers spread across 22 states in India.
- Initiating the Bija Satyagraha movement, which opposes patenting of seeds.
- Winning the Right Livelihood Award, often referred to as the 'Alternative Nobel Prize', in 1993 for her work in placing women and ecology at the heart of modern development discourse.
Despite facing numerous challenges and criticisms, Shiva has remained steadfast in her commitment to environmental activism. Her work has had a significant impact on the global discourse on sustainable agriculture and biodiversity. She continues to inspire many with her unwavering dedication to the cause of environmental conservation and her belief in the power of grassroots activism.

As a fierce advocate for organic farming, Vandana Shiva has significantly influenced the global agricultural landscape. Her relentless efforts have led to a paradigm shift, with more farmers embracing organic farming methods. Shiva's advocacy has not only highlighted the environmental benefits of organic farming, but also its potential to enhance food security and farmers' livelihoods. For instance, in India, where Shiva has been most active, the number of organic farmers has increased by over 500% in the last decade.
|Year||Number of Organic Farmers in India|
This surge in organic farming is largely attributed to Shiva's advocacy and the work of her organization, Navdanya. Her impact extends beyond India, influencing farming practices worldwide, and inspiring a global movement towards sustainable agriculture.
4. Vandana Shiva's Contributions to Biodiversity Conservation
Renowned for her relentless advocacy for biodiversity, Vandana Shiva has made significant strides in the field of environmental conservation. Her work primarily focuses on promoting organic farming and sustainable agriculture, which are crucial in preserving biodiversity. Shiva's efforts have led to the establishment of Navdanya, a network of seed keepers and organic producers spread across 22 states in India. This initiative has been instrumental in conserving more than 3000 rice varieties from across the country, thus playing a significant role in biodiversity conservation.
Furthermore, Shiva's advocacy extends beyond the borders of India. She has been a vocal critic of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and industrial agriculture, which she believes are detrimental to biodiversity. Her work has influenced policies and practices worldwide, leading to a greater emphasis on organic and sustainable farming methods. In conclusion, Vandana Shiva's contributions to biodiversity conservation are immense and have had a profound impact on the way we perceive and interact with the environment. Her work serves as a reminder of the importance of biodiversity and the need for its preservation.
Understanding Vandana Shiva's Philosophy on Ecofeminism
Delving into the philosophy of ecofeminism as advocated by Vandana Shiva, one can observe a profound connection between the exploitation of nature and the oppression of women. Shiva's perspective on ecofeminism is rooted in the belief that the same patriarchal ideologies that devalue and suppress women are also responsible for the degradation of our environment. She asserts that the liberation of women and the preservation of biodiversity are intrinsically linked, and that one cannot occur without the other.
Shiva's ecofeminist philosophy is not just a theoretical construct, but a call to action. She encourages a shift from the dominant, exploitative paradigm towards a more sustainable and equitable model of interaction with nature. This includes organic farming practices, biodiversity conservation, and the recognition of women's roles as custodians of the earth. In conclusion, Vandana Shiva's ecofeminism is a powerful synthesis of environmental activism and feminist thought, offering a transformative vision for a more sustainable and just world.
6. The Influence of Vandana Shiva's Work on Global Environmental Policies
Championing the cause of sustainable agriculture and biodiversity, Vandana Shiva has significantly impacted global environmental policies. Her relentless advocacy for organic farming and against genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has led to a paradigm shift in the way we perceive food production and consumption. Shiva's work has been instrumental in influencing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to responsible consumption and production. Her efforts have also led to the implementation of stricter regulations on GMOs in several countries. The following checklist highlights the key areas of Shiva's influence: promotion of organic farming, advocacy against GMOs, influence on UN's Sustainable Development Goals, and impact on GMO regulations.
7. Vandana Shiva's Awards and Recognitions in Environmental Activism
Throughout her illustrious career, Vandana Shiva has been the recipient of numerous awards and recognitions for her tireless efforts in environmental activism and organic farming. One of her most notable accolades is the Right Livelihood Award, often referred to as the 'Alternative Nobel Prize', which she received in 1993 for her work in placing women and ecology at the heart of modern development discourse.

Besides continuos conduction mode (PWM), the TPS63805 and TPS63806 feature power safe mode (PFM) operation to achieve high efficiency at light load currents. This is implemented by pausing the switching operation, depending on the load current.
The skip comparator manages the switching or pause operation. It compares the current demand signal from the voltage loop, IREF, with the skip threshold, ISKIP, as shown in Figure 9-1. If the current demand is lower than the skip value, the comparator pauses switching operation. If the current demand goes higher (due to falling VO), the comparator activates the current loop and allows switching according to the loop behavior. Whenever the current loop has risen VO by bringing charge to the output, the voltage loop output, IREF (respectively VEA), decreases. When IREF falls below ISKIP-hysteresis, it automatically pauses again.

Can't make ring homomorphism from ring of integers to a residue field
Reported by: robharron Owned by:

Component: number fields Keywords: Ring of integers, homset, residue field

Dependencies: Stopgaps:
Description
It doesn't seem possible to create a ring homomorphism from an order in a number field to a residue field of the number field. For instance:
sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^2-2)
sage: OK = K.ring_of_integers()
sage: P = K.primes_above(3)[0]
sage: kappa = P.residue_field()
sage: abar = kappa.gen()
sage: im = [g.polynomial().change_ring(ZZ)(abar) for g in OK.gens()]
sage: iota = OK.hom(im)
raises "TypeError?: images do not define a valid homomorphism".
Now, if instead you pass "check=False" to OK.hom, you of course get an iota, but you are unable to evaluate it:
sage: iota = OK.hom(im, check=False)
sage: iota(K.gen())
This raises "TypeError?: unsupported operand parent(s) for '*': 'Rational Field' and 'Residue field in abar of Fractional ideal (3)'". I tried being clever and doing:
sage: iota(OK(K.gen()))
but got the same error. Tracing it back, when sage tries to evaluate iota at an element a, it calls a._im_gens_(kappa, im) and this is totally wrong for this homset. Rather it is meant for homomorphisms between number fields. Basically, it looks like we need a function _im_gens_ for OrderElement? types. It should take the element a written out in the basis given by OK.gens() and replace the basis elements with the element in im.

A game has a solution with pure strategies if there is an element of the payoff matrix that is minimal in its row and maximal in its column. The value of the game is then the value of that element.
In the example in the spreadsheet, the element in row A2 and column B3 has that property.
An easy way to determine whether there is a solution with pure strategies is to circle the minimal element(s) in each row, and to put a square box round the maximal element(s) in each column. You then just have to look and see if there is an element that is both circled and boxed.


text: Movements such as the Arab Spring (as described by popular media) and recent regional conflicts have forced people to leave their homes and flee to other countries or regions. Syrian refugees are currently the second largest refugee group worldwide, with half of them resettled in Turkey. Turkish government and non-governmental civil organizations have mobilized efforts to address the immediate survival needs of these refugees such as food, shelter and other provisions. Despite efforts to manage the complexity of mental health and social service needs of forcibly displaced people, counseling services are still lacking. This expository article addresses the mental health needs of Syrian refugees and provides implications for counseling professionals working with displaced people from a crisis intervention approach built on principles and perspectives of humanistic mental health. In addition, programs of support, such as the Mental Health Facilitator program, are discussed.

The CAM-Wizard TAPE editor is used to edit the tape code that is normally created by the POST processor. The tape editor is normally run by typing TAPE while running CAM or by selecting it from other programs. This program can also be run directly from the operating system by using the TAPE command.
The TAPE editor uses many special keys. On the right side of the keyboard there are eight special keys, Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Left Arrow, Right Arrow, Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn, that are used for moving the blinking cursor. The Arrow keys are used for moving the cursor around on the screen. The [Home] key is used to move to the beginning of the line. The [ End] key can is used to move to the end of the line. The user can scroll up and down a page at a time with the [PgUp] and [PgDn] keys.
Also on the keypad are the [Ins] and [Del] keys. Pressing the [Ins] key will toggle the insert mode. When in insert mode typing any character will move the part of the line to the right of the cursor to the right and insert the character, otherwise the character will "type over" the existing characters on that line. Pressing [Del] will move the part of the line to the right of the cursor, to the left, deleting the character over the cursor.
Because the editor has been designed to accept anything that is typed into it as pure input to be included in the text file it creates, all functions other than the input of that data must be executed by pressing special function keys. These keys are located on the top row of the keyboard.
The [F1] key is used to insert a line into the text. pressing this key causes the line that the cursor is on to move down one line, creating a blank line to type on. The [F2] key causes the line that the cursor is on to be deleted.
The [F3] key is used for the search function. Pressing [F3] will cause the program to stop and input a character string from the user. The editor will then search from its current position in the program for that string. Entering nothing at the "Find String?" will cause the last string to be searched for again from the current cursor position on.
The [F4] key is used for the replace function. When this key is pressed, the user is asked what string to search for. After typing in this string and pressing [Enter], the user is asked what string to change it to. All occurrences of the first string will then be highlighted, and the user will be asked "Replace? (Y/N/G/Esc)?". Pressing [Y] will replace that occurrence of the search string. Pressing [N] will skip that occurrence. Pressing [G] will replace all remaining occurrences. Pressing [Esc] will abort the replace function.
The [F5] key must be used with care. When [F5] is pressed, the program will ask "Are You Sure? (Y/N)?". Pressing [Y] will then ERASE the entire tape; if it has not been saved it will be lost. This key is used to erase everything in order to start new.
The [F6] key is used to exit the editor, save the current text, and run the programs that appear when the key is pressed. The programs available from the editor will be listed on the screen with a single character to the left of each. Pressing the key corresponding to any of those characters will cause the related program to be run. Pressing an invalid key will return operation to the editor as if nothing had happened.
The [F7] key is used to read in a previously stored file from the disk. After pressing this key, the user is asked for a file name. Entering the file name and pressing [Enter] will cause that file to be appended to the text already loaded into the editor. Entering a CAM-Wizard device name will cause the text to be read from that device using the protocol and handshaking defined for that device in IO.CFG.
The [F8] key is used to write a file to a disk or to the printer. Entering a valid MS-DOS file name causes the text to be saved on a disk file and typing the word PRINTER will cause the text to be sent to the printer. Entering a CAM-Wizard device name (such as PUNCH, or a machine name) will cause the tape code to be sent to that device using the protocol and handshaking defined for that device in IO.CFG.
The [F9] key is used for block editing functions. Blocks of text can be copied and deleted using the block edit command. When pressed, the system will prompt you for the function, either mark block start, mark block end, copy block, or delete block. Blocks must be defined before they can be copied or deleted.
The [F10] key is used to renumber a tape. This function will ask the increment to use for renumbering the tape. At this time the user can specify the number to be counted by and the number of digits to use on the tape. For instance if you type 005, then the tape will be numbered by 5 and each N number on the tape will take up 3 digits. ( 005, 010, 015, 020... ).

Most open-end investment companies offer several classes of fund shares. The most common examples are A, B and C shares, although some fund families offer R and F shares for special categories of investment such as college savings plans or employee retirement shares.
Share classes differ primarily in the way in which their sales charges and distribution charges - that is, loads and 12b-1 fees - are assessed. Although the specifics of the different classes sold by each fund family vary widely depending on the fund, most funds offer the share classes listed below.
 - Class A Shares: Class A shares usually have front-end loads. Those investors purchasing larger numbers of shares can usually take advantage of reduced sales charges at defined intervals, known as breakpoints. These shares also have smaller 12b-1 fees.
 - Class B Shares: Class B shares come with back-end loads (CDSCs), so investors do not pay front-end loads. They only pay a sales charge if the shares are redeemed within the CDSC schedule; otherwise, the sales charges are limited to the 12b-1 fees, which are usually higher than those of other share classes. Once the CDSCs are reduced to zero, these funds convert from B shares to A shares.
 - Class C Shares: Class C shares usually charge a level load that is equal to a stated percentage of the fund's assets. This sales charge will be assessed by the fund for either a stated period of time such as 3-5 years or for the entire holding period
The article, The ABCs of Mutual Fund Classes, contains useful information about the pros and cons of each type of mutual fund share.
 - Other Share Classes: For other special types of investors, such as employees of broker-dealers, 529 college savings plan investors, institutional investors or investors with fee-based accounts, mutual fund companies offer a number of different share classes that take into account the initial purchase size and type of investor. As a result, the initial sales charges and 12b-1 fees will differ for each share class.
Deciding What is Best
So, which share class is best for your client? This is one of the most important questions you will have to answer in your career as a Series 6 representative. As a rep, you must find out three things about the client:
 1. How much money does he/she plan to invest over the next 13 months?
 2. How long does the investor plan to own the mutual fund shares?
 3. Does he/she own any other mutual funds?
The importance of these questions will become more apparent as you read through the following sections.

ABSTRACT
Graphics processors require strong arithmetic support to perform computational kernels over data streams. Because of the current implementation using the basic arithmetic operations, the algorithms are given in algebraic terms. However, since the operations are really of a geometric nature, it seems to us that more flexibility in the implementation is obtained if the description is given in a high-level geometrical form. As a consequence of this line of thought, this paper is an attempt to reconsider some kernels in a graphics processor to obtain implementations that are potentially more scalable than just replicating the modules used in conventional implementations. In this work, we present the formulation of representative 3D computer graphics operations in terms of CORDIC-type primitives. Then, we briefly outline a stream processor based on CORDIC-type modules to efficiently implement these graphic operations. We perform a rough comparison with current implementations and conclude that the CORDIC-based alternative might be attractive.

is fortunate enough to draw one's data from an invariant measure for the dynamics. To illustrate the idea, let us take Korec's aforementioned result that if {\theta > \frac{\log 3}{\log 4}} one picks at random an integer {N} from a large interval {[1,x]}, then in most cases, the orbit of {N} will eventually move into the interval {[1,x^{\theta}]}. Similarly, if one picks an integer {M} at random from {[1,x^\theta]}, then in most cases, the orbit of {M} will eventually move into {[1,x^{\theta^2}]}. It is then tempting to concatenate the two statements and conclude that for most {N} in {[1,x]}, the orbit will eventually move {[1,x^{\theta^2}]}. Unfortunately, this argument does not quite work, because by the time the orbit from a randomly drawn {N \in [1,x]} reaches {[1,x^\theta]}, the distribution of the final value is unlikely to be close to being uniformly distributed on {[1,x^\theta]}, and in particular could potentially concentrate almost entirely in the exceptional set of {M \in [1,x^\theta]} that do not make it into {[1,x^{\theta^2}]}. The point here is the uniform measure on {[1,x]} is not transported by Collatz dynamics to anything resembling the uniform measure on {[1,x^\theta]}.
So, one now needs to locate a measure which has better invariance properties under the Collatz dynamics. It turns out to be technically convenient to work with a standard acceleration of the Collatz map known as the Syracuse map {\mathrm{Syr}: 2{\bf N}+1 \rightarrow 2{\bf N}+1}, defined on the odd numbers {2{\bf N}+1 = \{1,3,5,\dots\}} by setting {\mathrm{Syr}(N) = (3N+1)/2^a}, where {2^a} is the largest power of {2} that divides {3N+1}. (The advantage of using the Syracuse map over the Collatz map is that it performs precisely one multiplication of {3} at each iteration step, which makes the map better behaved when performing "{3}-adic" analysis.)
When viewed {3}-adically, we soon see that iterations of the Syracuse map become somewhat irregular. Most obviously, {\mathrm{Syr}(N)} is never divisible by {3}. A little less obviously, {\mathrm{Syr}(N)} is twice as likely to equal {2} mod {3} as it is to equal {1} mod {3}. This is because for a randomly chosen odd {\mathbf{N}}, the number of times {\mathbf{a}} that {2} divides {3\mathbf{N}+1} can be seen to have a geometric distribution of mean {2} – it equals any given value {a \in{\bf N}+1} with probability {2^{-a}}. Such a geometric random variable is twice as likely to be odd as to be even, which is what gives the above irregularity. There are similar irregularities modulo higher powers of {3}. For instance, one can compute that for large random odd {\mathbf{N}}, {\mathrm{Syr}^2(\mathbf{N}) \hbox{ mod } 9} will take the residue classes {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 \hbox{ mod } 9} with probabilities
\displaystyle 0, \frac{8}{63}, \frac{16}{63}, 0, \frac{11}{63}, \frac{4}{63}, 0, \frac{2}{63}, \frac{22}{63}
respectively. More generally, for any {n}, {\mathrm{Syr}^n(N) \hbox{ mod } 3^n} will be distributed according to the law of a random variable {\mathbf{Syrac}({\bf Z}/3^n{\bf Z})} on {{\bf Z}/3^n{\bf Z}} that we call a Syracuse random variable, and can be described explicitly as
\displaystyle \mathbf{Syrac}({\bf Z}/3^n{\bf Z}) = 2^{-\mathbf{a}_1} + 3^1 2^{-\mathbf{a}_1-\mathbf{a}_2} + \dots + 3^{n-1} 2^{-\mathbf{a}_1-\dots-\mathbf{a}_n} \hbox{ mod } 3^n, \ \ \ \ \ (1)
where {\mathbf{a}_1,\dots,\mathbf{a}_n} are iid copies of a geometric random variable of mean {2}.
In view of this, any proposed "invariant" (or approximately invariant) measure (or family of measures) for the Syracuse dynamics should take this {3}-adic irregularity of distribution into account. It turns out that one can use the Syracuse random variables {\mathbf{Syrac}({\bf Z}/3^n{\bf Z})} to construct such a measure, but only if these random variables stabilise in the limit {n \rightarrow \infty} in a certain total variation sense. More precisely, in the paper we establish the estimate
\displaystyle \sum_{Y \in {\bf Z}/3^n{\bf Z}} | \mathbb{P}( \mathbf{Syrac}({\bf Z}/3^n{\bf Z})=Y) - 3^{m-n} \mathbb{P}( \mathbf{Syrac}({\bf Z}/3^m{\bf Z})=Y \hbox{ mod } 3^m)| \ \ \ \ \ (2)
\displaystyle \ll_A m^{-A}
for any {1 \leq m \leq n} and any {A > 0}. This type of stabilisation is plausible from entropy heuristics – the tuple {(\mathbf{a}_1,\dots,\mathbf{a}_n)} of geometric random variables that generates {\mathbf{Syrac}({\bf Z}/3^n{\bf Z})} has Shannon entropy {n \log 4}, which is significantly larger than the total entropy {n \log 3} of the uniform distribution on {{\bf Z}/3^n{\bf Z}}, so we expect a lot of "mixing" and "collision" to occur when converting the tuple {(\mathbf{a}_1,\dots,\mathbf{a}_n)} to {\mathbf{Syrac}({\bf Z}/3^n{\bf Z})}; these heuristics can be supported by numerics (which I was able to work out up to about {n=10} before running into memory and CPU issues), but it turns out to be surprisingly delicate to make this precise.
A first hint of how to proceed comes from the elementary number theory observation (easily proven by induction) that the rational numbers
\displaystyle 2^{-a_1} + 3^1 2^{-a_1-a_2} + \dots + 3^{n-1} 2^{-a_1-\dots-a_n}
are all distinct as {(a_1,\dots,a_n)} vary over tuples in {({\bf N}+1)^n}. Unfortunately, the process of reducing mod {3^n} creates a lot of collisions (as must happen from the pigeonhole principle); however, by a simple "Lefschetz principle" type argument one can at least show that the reductions
\displaystyle 2^{-a_1} + 3^1 2^{-a_1-a_2} + \dots + 3^{m-1} 2^{-a_1-\dots-a_m} \hbox{ mod } 3^n \ \ \ \ \ (3)
are mostly distinct for "typical" {a_1,\dots,a_m} (as drawn using the geometric distribution) as long as {m} is a bit smaller than {\frac{\log 3}{\log 4} n} (basically because the rational

Hi jdebord
A little Christmas bundle.
I got some help from another Frenchman
_URL_-or ... basic.html
Set up for polynomial roots (real or complex polynomial).
And eigenvalues/vectors.
I have used your Cpoly, and my operators, but easily changed to your operators, 15 minutes maybe.
All the main stuff is about 400 lines, the rest of the lines are just for the examples.
To input a complex component just key in e.g. 9,-5
It's maybe a bit untidy, do as you wish with it, after all, the essence came from France, and I am just sending it back across the Channel.
Merry Christmas.

She bore him one daughter, but the couple separated in 1796 and Caroline, deprived of her child, lived in retirement. An accusation that she had borne an illegitimate child occasioned a commission of inquiry (1806), which found her innocent but imprudent. Caroline went abroad in 1814, but when George became king in 1820 she returned to claim her rights as queen. The government immediately instituted proceedings against her in the House of Lords for divorce on the grounds of adultery. Caroline was probably guilty of the charge, but her persecution by a profligate husband aroused popular sympathy for her and the bill was dropped.

A newly proposed bill would require eggs from turkeys, ducks and pheasants to adhere to the state's egg laws, expanding it from just chickens.
The bill, which was introduced in the General Assembly this week, seeks to broaden the scope of Maryland's egg law to include eggs from any domesticated bird, not just domesticated chickens.
Other domesticated birds could include turkeys, ducks or pheasants.
Other proposed changes to the law include requiring that shell eggs produced by poultry other than domesticated chickens be sold by net quantity, such as by the dozen, rather than by weight. It also authorizes the secretary of agriculture to conduct examinations, tests and sampling for compliance and specifies what makes an egg spoiled.
The secretary of agriculture would also maintain and gain the power to enter any building, market, store, warehouse, production facility, food service facility, packing facility or any other place where shell eggs are produced, distributed, packed, donated, sold, offered or put out for sale.
There, they can sample, test or examine any egg, layer house, pen, cooler, packing facility, washing facility or "any other place or item to determine whether the environment of the facility where shell eggs are produced, packed, or held is in compliance," according to the bill.
The bill also clarified that an egg is adulterated or spoiled if it is contaminated by anything that can produce disease, poisonous or harmful substances, or any conditions "likely to cause contamination that may render the shell eggs injurious to human health."
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1,373 farms in Frederick County in 2017 had a total of 1,130 broiler and other meat-type chickens in inventory. They also had a total of 71,018 layers, which are chickens that lay eggs.
Broiler chickens are chickens raised for meat.
The total market value of poultry and eggs sold in 2017 was $3.142 million.
Kelly Nichols, agricultural science agent at the University of Maryland Extension's Frederick office, said that several farmers in the county do have chickens and sell eggs, and that she would estimate the number of farmers who have eggs from other domesticated birds would be much lower than those who have chicken eggs.
Based on that assumption, Nichols said that while the number of people the bill would affect would be smaller, those people may need to fill out more paperwork and make sure they're current with any registration.
"The whole reason for the Maryland egg law is to ensure that people who are selling eggs are selling a quality product and it's safe for public consumption," she said.
The hearing for the bill is set for Jan. 16 at 2:30 p.m. before the Maryland Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee.

Porto was the birthplace of Prince Henry the Navigator. Mentor of the Portuguese Discoveries, he was born in 1394. His parents King João I and Princess Philippa, sister of Henry IV of England, were married in the Cathedral. In the atrium of the São Bento railway station, a coloured tile panel depicts them first entering the city. A tablet on a house in Rua da Alfândega, near the river, marks the five hundredth anniversary of their marriage.
Take a seat on an esplanade in the Ribeira district, one of the most picturesque in Porto. It was from here that the first overseas expedition set out for Ceuta in North Africa in 1415. The people of Porto supplied all the meat to feed this armada, and were left with only animal intestines, which they had to eat in order to survive.
This is the origin of "tripas à moda do Porto" ("intestines Porto style"), one of the city's traditional dishes.
In the Church of Misericórdia, you can discover the history of another famous king, Manuel I, and even see what he looked like. There's a fine Flemish picture of the monarch, who continued Prince Henry's work after his death.
Among the magnificent baroque gilded carving that covers the Church of São Francisco, admire the chapel of João Carneiro, built by a family closely linked to the Discoveries. Inside, you'll find another oil painting from this important time in history, depicting Christ's baptism. If you look carefully, you'll see a reference to João Carneiro in the corner of the work.

Prayer and Intelligence & Selected Essays
This product is currently sold out.
By Jacques and Raissa Maritain
Prayer and Intelligence is a practical book about mental prayer and how to pray. It is also a book about the intellectual life. How does our intellectual search for God influence our life of prayer and how does the discipline of a life of prayer act as the necessary grounding for a profound and sustained search for the truth?
In the pages of this book, philosophy and the spiritual life intertwine and are seen to strengthen each other. Accompanying Prayer and Intelligence are two essays, Liturgy and Contemplation, also written by Jacques and Raïssa together, and Notes on the Lord's Prayer, written by Raïssa. The former is a study of how the Church's liturgy prepares for our union with God by contemplation of love. The latter is a powerful meditation on the great gift of the prayer of Christ himself, "the prayer that is universally true and needed."
All three of the works contained in this volume are written by friends, for friends, seeking to know and love God. If we wish to grow in our spiritual life, this book serves as a great guide.
Jacques Maritain (1882–1973), perhaps the greatest Catholic philosopher of the twentieth century, and his wife Raïssa (1883–1960), a renowned poet and mystic, were key figures in the revival of Thomistic thought in the modern era. Through their friends Léon Bloy and Humbert Clerissac, O.P., the Maritains were introduced to the writings of Thomas Aquinas, and spent their lives reading and writing on the Thomistic tradition.

Make Truck Tracks!
Using different tools to express oneself through paint is a preschooler's dream. Having him discover how different tools create different images helps his brain expand to think beyond just a paintbrush. Plus, it's pretty cool to dip regular items into paint and see what happens!
With this craft, all you need are some old toy trucks and some paint and paper. Your child will be amazed to see how things other than paintbrushes can create beautiful images. He'll have a whole new interpretation of "truck driving" after finishing this creative craft!
What You Need:
- Toy trucks (plastic is preferable since it's easier to clean when finished)
- Paint trays (at least 4)
What to Do:
- Place several toy trucks on the table in a tray.
- Place a large sheet of butcher paper or white paper in front of each child. You may want them to wear a smock or some protective clothing because they're going to get messy!
- Put one color of paint in each tray and place them on the table.
- Have the kids take a truck and roll it in the paint and then roll the truck on the paper. It seems simple, but the kids will really be amazed to see their toy truck leaving behind such colorful tracks.
- Encourage the kids to use different trucks on the same paper and talk about why the trucks with larger wheels make larger tracks, etc. They won't want to use a boring old paintbrush again!

Let be the class of functions of the form which are analytic in. By using the method of differential subordinations, we give some sufficient conditions for Carathéodory function, that is, if satisfies and where,,,,, then. Some useful consequences of this result are also given.
Let be the class of functions of the following form: which are analytic in. We denote by the subclass of consisting of univalent functions and by and the usual subclasses of whose members are starlike (with respect to the origin) and close-to-convex, respectively. Finally, we denote by the family of functions which satisfy the condition. It is well known that.
Let be the class of functions of the following form: which are analytic in. If satisfies, then we say that is the Carathéodory function. For Carathéodory functions, Nunokawa et al. have shown some sufficient conditions applying the differential inequalities. In the present paper, using the method of differential subordinations, we derive certain conditions under which we have, where. Our results generalize or improve some results due to [1–4].
To prove our results, we need the following lemma due to Miller and Mocanu.
Lemma 1. Let be analytic and univalent in U and let and be analytic in a domain D containing, with when. Set
and suppose that (i)is starlike univalent in, and(ii).
If is analytic in, with, and then and is the best dominant of (4).
2. Main Results
Theorem 2. Let,,, and. If satisfies and where then and is the best dominant of (5).
Proof. Let,,, and choose Then is analytic and univalent in,,, and satisfy the conditions of the lemma. The function is univalent and starlike in because Further, we have Since, from (11) it is easy to know that Hence the function is close-to-convex and univalent in. Now it follows from (5)–(12) that Therefore, by virtue of the lemma, we conclude that and is the best dominant of (5). The proof of the theorem is complete.
Making use of the theorem, we can obtain a number of interesting results.
Corollary 3. Let,. If satisfies then.
Proof. Let,,,,,, and in the theorem, then we have satisfy the conditions of the lemma. Note that Hence, similar to the proof of the theorem, we conclude that, that is,.
Corollary 5. Let,, satisfies, and then.
Remark 6. Note that the function
maps onto the -plane slit along the half-lines, and,. Hence Corollary 5 coincides with the result obtained by Nunokawa et al. [1, Theorem 2] using another method.
Letting,, in Corollary 5, we have the following.
Corollary 7. If,, and where is real and, then.
Corollary 9. Let with. If for some, then and
Remark 10. Frassin and Darus have shown that if and
for some, then.
For, the function is analytic and convex univalent in. Since the disk is properly contained in. Therefore, in view of (21), we see that Corollary 9 is better than the result given in.
Letting,,,,,, and in the theorem, we have the following.
Corollary 11. If,,, and
For the univalent function, we now find the image of the unit disk.
Let, where and are real. We have Elimination of yields Therefore, we conclude that
