What do you call a small supermarket?
Small grocery stores that mainly sell fruits and vegetables are known as greengrocers (Britain) or produce markets (U.S.), and small grocery stores that predominantly sell prepared food, such as candy and snacks, are known as convenience shops or delicatessens..
What is the meaning of supermarket?
noun. a large retail market that sells food and other household goods and that is usually operated on a self-service basis. any business or company offering an unusually wide range of goods or services: a financial supermarket that sells stocks, bonds, insurance, and real estate.
What is a bodega baby?
Pusha-T's coined term "Bodega Babies" is referring to the poverty-stricken youth within food deserts of the inner city, using bodegas and corner stores as two things, the first is a food source, and the second as a place to post up and hustle.
Why do bodegas have cats?
A bodega cat serves not only to catch and kill existing rodents, but also to deter others from entering the establishment, spreading bacteria, and destroying the shop owner's goods.

I have recently published an info-strip script that allows custom information to be displayed in the rendered image, just like the v-ray frame stamp, but this one supports all renderers using the VFB (most notably mental ray and scanline). Together with user defined font size, style, colors and opacity of the strip background the user can define expressions to include things like photon count, diffuse bounces number etc. in the displayed information. There are five custom fields for simple expression and one field for custom script if you need some more elaborate way to get the desired result. In this tutorial I will show how these fields can be used to their full potential.
Among the default values you will notice
renderers.current.FinalGatherAccuracy and similar parameters of the current renderer. There are many more that can be useful to record, like
.GIPhotonMergeDistance. To get the complete list of render settings for mental ray, have a look at mental_ray_renderer : RendererClass section of maxscript help – wherever it says
<mental_ray_renderer> you'd replace it with
renderers.current. To get a list of properties for a different renderer run
showProperties renderers.current in the maxscript listener (press F11 to open it).
The same procedure applies for exposure control and virtually any single property that you can access via maxscript or .NET. In the case of mental ray Photographic Exposure Control the example usage is
sceneExposureControl.exposureControl.exposure_value and the exposure_value can be likewise replaced with
.gamma etc. The list of all the properties for this exposure control can be found in chapter mr_Photographic_Exposure_Control : ToneOperator.
Other simple expressions that might be noteworthy are listed here:
objects.count -- number of objects
sceneMaterials.count -- number of scene materials
displayGamma -- main gamma correction value
fileInGamma -- input gamma
fileOutGamma -- output gamma
numEffects -- number of current render effects
rendOutputFilename -- preset rendered image file name
sliderTime -- current slider time position
units.systemType -- current system unit type
The custom script entry offers the possibility to get more information at once, the only requirement for the script is it has to return a value – either a string or a value that can be converted to one. Also, the resulting string cannot contain any line-breaks and should be short enough to fit in the strip lenght. To combine multiple values into one result, there are a few options. The first one is string concatenation:
"Ten: " + 10 as string + " that's all, folks!"
The second one is formatting the values to a stringStream. Each percent character works as a placeholder for the argument following the string. For each percent metacharacter you have to add one argument:
sstream = "" as stringStream format "Ten: % %" 10 "that's all, folks!" to:sstream sstream
To show some possible uses, here are some ready-made snippets. If you use temporary variables, it's always better to enclose the code in braces and declare the variables as locals. To test the output of the script you can copy it to maxscript editor in 3ds max (located under New Script.. menu entry) and evaluate it (CTRL+E). If you'd need a piece of code or would like to share one that you find useful and is not listed here, use the comments section under the article.
Anti-aliasing (default value of the script field):
local s = "" as stringStream
local r = renderers.current
format "AA Min: % | AA Max: % | AA Spatial Contrast: % % % %" \
s as string -- returned value
The highest number of glossy subdivisions of Arch&Design material in scene:
local highestGlossy = 0
for mat in sceneMaterials
where isProperty mat #refl_samples AND
(local newGlossy = getProperty mat #refl_samples) > highestGlossy do
highestGlossy = newGlossy
"Highest Glossy Subdivs: " + highestGlossy as string
Snippet to get the heaviest mesh in scene:
local heaviestMesh = #(0,"none")
for obj in geometry
where (getPolygonCount obj) > heaviestMesh do
heaviestMesh = #((getPolygonCount obj), obj.name)
"Heaviest mesh: " + heaviestMesh + ", poly count: " + heaviestMesh as string
Scene poly count and vertex count – this one depends on another factor which is whether or not the file had been saved since the last change in scene that would influence the poly and vertex count (even
saveNodes command or scene hold updates scene information). If it has already been saved, we can use
(fileProperties.getItems "Mesh Totals") to get the vertex count and
(fileProperties.getItems "Mesh Totals") to get the face count. If not, something like this would work:
local faceTotal = 0
local vertTotal = 0
for obj in objects do
local meshTotal = getPolygonCount obj
vertTotal += meshTotal
faceTotal += meshTotal
"Vertices: " + vertTotal as string + " | Faces: " + faceTotal as string
Number of materials and their types:
local classes = #()
local counts = #()
local result = ""
for mat in sceneMaterials do
if (local index = findItem classes (classOf mat)) > 0 then
counts[index] += 1
append classes (classOf mat)
append counts 1
for i = 1 to classes.count do
append result (classes[i] as string + ":" + counts[i] as string + " ")
Scene dimensions (bounding box dimensions, bounding box center position):
fn formatPoint3 p3 = "x:" + p3.x as string + ", y:" + p3.y as string + ", z:" + p3.z as string
"Dimensions: " + formatPoint3 (objects.max - objects.min) + "; Center:" + formatPoint3 (objects.center)
For yet more ideas be sure to have a look at the Maxscript Oneliners for Artists article.
All the custom expressions together with the script part are evaluated after the rendering is done. If you'd need to take into consideration some information you could only get before the rendering starts, you can register your own preRender callback that would save the desired value(s) to a global variable, and then access it from the script.

Committed to Student Success
Peel board trustees advocate for their communities
Public school trustees are the critical link between communities and school boards. They are elected by taxpayers during municipal elections every four years and are directly accountable to the community. The current 12 trustees have been elected to serve from Dec. 1, 2010, to Nov. 30, 2014.
Working together, trustees:
· govern and establish policies
· set budgets and govern the provision of curriculum, facilities, human and financial resources
· advocate for the needs of their communities, and explain the policies and decisions of the board to residents
· work with all levels of government to help ensure student success
Trustees are available to help taxpayers, parents and others address any issues they may have about the public school system.
Trustees meet as a board on a regular basis and also participate on organized standing committees. The meeting schedule lists public meetings.
Student trustees serve an important role for the Peel District School Board. They represent the voice of students in decisions about education in Peel, and they help keep students informed about important decisions that affect them. The Peel board has two student trustees—one representing schools north of Highway 401 and one representing schools south of Highway 401.

A vibrant pink and white bloom carpets Japan every year, heralding spring in the most magical way possible. Cherry blossoms are the focal point of Japan; each year, millions of people flock to the country to witness these sakura plants.
This year, however, the sight of cherry blossoms is cause for concern. A new study from the Met Office in the UK revealed that these flowers bloomed nearly 11 days early; the city of Kyoto saw cherry blossoms peak on April 1. In 2021, cherry blossoms had made their annual appearance on March 26, the first date for 1,200 years.
While the sight of cherry blossoms is a breathtaking sight, their appearance is now a wake-up call for environmentalists about the threat of a climate crisis looming over the planet. Led by Nikolaos Christidis, the study, which was published in Environmental Research Letters, indicates that changes in cherry blossom bloom timing coincide with changes in temperature.
Rising industrial emissions and global temperatures, especially in urban areas, have disrupted the natural flowering season of many plants. An increase in temperatures since the late 20th century, which continues into the 21st century, makes these events more likely in the future. According to a CNN report Climate change is causing plants across the British Isles to flower, on average, a month earlier than before, according to a new study, according to a new study. Closer to home in India, 2021 has been marked by an erratic monsoon, with extremely localized rainfall, a dry August and an exceptionally wet September, IndiaSpend reported.
Indian summers have also been marked by record temperatures; several weather stations broke their temperature records in April 2022. Additionally, the UK National Weather Service released a study on the heat wave that northern India and Pakistan experienced during the months of April and May, which asserted that "human influence has increased the likelihood of extreme temperature anomalies from April to May", and that abnormally high temperatures will become common in the years to come.
The same is planned for Japanese cherry blossoms; they may continue to flower earlier than usual until such time as their early arrival may not even be considered extreme. "Kyoto cherry blossom season arrives on average 1-2 weeks earlier due to anthropogenic climate change, with a projected lag of an additional week by the end of the century under a medium emissions scenario. As a result, extremely early flowering such as 2021 is becoming increasingly common in a warming climate and may occur every few years by 2100, at which time it will no longer be classified as extreme," a quote reads. of the study.
Climate change is one of the biggest global concerns of the 21st century and the impact of warming-induced ecological change threatens to disrupt many ecosystems. Our best hope is to work immediately to phase out fossil fuels and reduce toxic emissions and to pray that our impact on this environment is not irreversible.

Parenthood is good for your health.
That's one way of looking at the data in a new study that compares death rates among couples with and without children. After examining data on more than 21,276 Danish couples who tried to get pregnant, researchers calculated that women who gave birth to a child were four times more likely to be alive at the end of the study period compared with women who remained childless. The benefit to men was smaller but still significant — those who fathered children were twice as likely to be alive compared with men who remained childless.
The couples in the study all sought treatment for infertility; some of those who didn't get pregnant using in vitro fertilization went on to adopt children. These parents also seemed to get a health boost — the mothers in this group were 33% less likely to die compared with women who never had children, and the adoptive fathers were 45% less likely to die.
Previous studies have found a correlation between parenthood and mortality, with the lowest risk of premature death going to couples with two kids. (Of course, everyone has a 100% risk of death in the long run.) But none of this data prove that raising kids is responsible for a longer life.
The authors of the new study, published Wednesday in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, also noted that these data offer a better look at the link between parenthood and health because all of the parents in the study wanted to become parents — that's why they tried fertility treatments. In other studies, it was possible that childless couples were fundamentally different from parents in ways that influenced their health.
The study also examined the link between parenthood and mental health. It found that couples with their own biological children had the same rates of psychiatric illnesses as childless couples. But mothers and fathers of adopted children saw their risk drop by about half.

I have read here, that $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ must not be applied on a photon ever.
If i want to calculate escape velocity $v_e$ i need to use $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ because we say that kinetic energy (positive) must be same or larger than gravitational potential (which is negative) in order for an object to escape. It is done like this:
$$ \begin{split} W_k + W_p &= 0\\ \frac{1}{2}mv_e^2 + \left(-\frac{GMm}{r}\right) &= 0\\ v_e &= \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}} \end{split} $$
Than we say if there is a black hole inside certain radius we call Schwarzschield radius $r=R_{sch}$ not even light can escape because its escape velocity is smaller than needed to escape. At the border of the sphere with $R_{sch}$ light can barely escape, so it must hold that $c$ equals escape velocity $v_e$. So we write down the equation below and derive $R_{sch}$.
$$ \begin{split} c &= \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R_{sch}}}\\ R_{sch} &= \frac{2GM}{c^2} \end{split} $$
This is a well known equation, but it is derived allso using $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ for light (photons). This is in contradiction with 1st statement in this post. So is the last equation even valid???

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{p^2}{2m}$ isn't even generally correct for massive particles: in only applies where $v \ll c$. For high velocities it is mandatory to use the correct relativistic expression $\sqrt{m^2c^4 + p^2c^2} - mc^2$. Obviously $c \not\ll c$ so you get $\sqrt{0 + p^2c^2} - 0 = pc$. – dmckee Jan 18 '13 at 15:38
It's a random coincidence. In particular, your derivation doesn't change if the "black hole" is spinning, but in full general relativity, you'll have $R = \frac{G}{c^{2}}\left(M + \sqrt{M^{2} - \frac{J^{2}c^{2}}{G^{2}M^{2}}}\right)$, where $J$ is the angular momentum of the black hole. – Jerry Schirmer Jan 18 '13 at 16:23
Indeed it is coincidence. See also my answer to this question – Chris White Jan 18 '13 at 17:13
Our professor derived it like this. Furthermore he didnt even warn us the derivation is WRONG! But i am amazed! What a coincidence indeed :) – 71GA Jan 18 '13 at 19:21

This is one of those cases when the ends do not justify the means... Just because you get a result that is true, from laws that aren't supposed hold in that situation, doesn't mean that the laws can be used there.
If you're asking about whether there is a deeper connection between using $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ and getting the radius, to the best of my knowledge, there is none: it just happens to be a coincidence that they match.
Like Michael Brown said, the Schwarzschild radius can only be derived from GR, in which the Schwarzschild metric \begin{align} ds^2 = - (1-2GM/r) dt^2 + (1-2GM/r)^{-1}dr^2 + r^2d\Omega^2 \end{align} is the unique maximally symmetric solution to Einstein's equations in vacuum. (I've set $c = 1$) here. Note that something interesting is happening when $r = 2GM$, and one can go on to show that $r = 2GM$ happens to be the boundary of the causal part of the future null infinity, which we identify as the event horizon.

Missing those factors of 2 perhaps? – Chris White Jan 18 '13 at 17:10
ahha yes. i'll edit my post, thanks – nervxxx Jan 18 '13 at 17:12
The short answer is: no, $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is never valid for photons. A photon's energy is given by $$ E = h f = \hbar \omega = \frac{h c}{\lambda} $$ always. The derivation of the Schwarzschild radius you mention is an incorrect one that happens to give the right answer accidentally. The correct derivation requires general relativity.

What is A Monolith Storage Device?
microSD Storage Monolithic Data Device
Monolith Storage Devices, microSD, microSDHC, SDXC Damages and Information.
Monolithic storage is made up of electronic components and their respective connections, all of which is integrated into a single-layered semiconductor wafer or package, which is then split into 3D integrated circuits. This has evolved to become a popular choice for manufacturers, as they're cheaper to create than standard NAND and Controller devices – monolithic storage is believed to become a significant breakthrough in memory devices (across SD cards, USB flash drives, and microSDs). However, it is viewed as something of a bigger challenge to recover data from a monolithic storage device if it suffers damage or files become corrupted. At eProvided, we're committed to helping you recover data from almost any device, and will do whatever we can to get your valuable files back.
For many people, the different architectures involved in storage system design can prove highly confusing, given the technical variations between design and performance. Below, we've put together a guide on monolith storage devices, giving you all the information you need to understand how they work, and the advantages and disadvantages they provide. We've tried to keep it as accessible as possible, so we hope you enjoy it!

Monolithic Design
Monolithic designs feature shared cache arrangements to link front-end storage ports to the disk's back-end. All memory units are linked to both the front-end and back-end directors. Different models offer different designs: Hitachi models split their cache into two halves (for Clusters 1 and 2), while EMC provide as many as eight cache modules. This model's advantages include:
 - Using director connections liking to all the cache modules stops resources becoming fragmented
 - So long as the cache doesn't become totally exhausted, another connectivity to a cache module will be available to process your requests, regardless of the port this request is made through, as the cache modules can process requests from all ports to any disk back-end.
 - The architecture can prove beneficial in events of failure – if a cache module should fail, only that specific module's cache is gone.
Connectivity Complications
With the any-to-any design found in certain monolithic models, the connectivity is often complicated and can prove expensive, with costs related to controlling the multiple components' interaction. Users may also find a limit to the amount of practical scalability inherent to this design: with eight FE, BE and cache modules, a total of 128 connections are set up. Bearing this in mind, adding a single cache module demands an extra 16 connections, and so linking even more directors for the front- or back-end means more connectivity is needed.
With monolithic layouts featuring custom parts and designs, the continual development and maintenance prices can rise – depending on your budget, this could prove problematic. Hitachi Data Systems is believed to have claimed monolithic storage architectures demand companies using them to invest around $500,000 to customize their data storage to support its power needs – this is a considerable fee for all but the biggest enterprises, and can certainly cause issues with budget and financial planning.
As front- and back-end directors feature their own specific processors, traffic across said directors can become unbalanced, with certain processors in more use than others. In some configurations, USP V FED ports use all of the processors' power, because of smaller block dimensions. In light of this, you may need to consider manual load balancing, for first host placement and in the future as your traffic load grows.
All of this may sound complicated, but a team of professional data specialists can offer advice and guidance on buying and maintaining monolithic storage devices in case of damages or failures. At eProvided, we have over 14 years' experience working with all data storage devices & file corruption issues, and can help you manage data in the most responsible way.

The Grid environment facilitates collaborative work and allows many users to query and process data over geographically dispersed data repositories. Over the past several years, there has been a growing interest in developing applications that interactively analyze datasets, potentially in a collaborative setting. We describe the Active Proxy-G service that is able to cache query results, use those results for answering new incoming queries, generate subqueries for the parts of a query that cannot be produced from the cache, and submit the subqueries for final processing at application servers that store the raw datasets. We present an experimental evaluation to illustrate the effects of various design tradeoffs. We also show the benefits that two real applications gain from using the middleware.

By analyzing complete multi-movement works, students deepen their understanding of music analysis and consider relationships among diverse musical features. Haydn's Sonata in C Major, Hob. XVI:10, provides an accessible piece for undergraduate students to analyze at several different levels of study. In this article, I outline three pedagogical journeys to guide students through this concise three-movement keyboard sonata. During their respective journeys, Theory II students explore motifs, cadences, and small forms; Theory III students investigate interactions between chromatic harmony and form; and Form and Analysis students map a trajectory through all three movements and compare the sonata-form outer movements. As students' levels of experience increase, the progression between journeys shifts from collaborative projects with extensive peer support to independently completed assignments. Types of assignments similarly progress from an oral presentation to a brief essay to an essay of moderate length. Guidelines and rubrics for the assignments appear throughout the article, and I share analytical observations pertaining to each assignment. I also suggest topics for an additional graduate-level journey that engages with Hepokoski and Darcy's Sonata Theory. Like a destination that remains the same but delights each group of travelers in a different way, Haydn's Hob. XVI:10 provides an intriguing venue for students to explore at multiple stages of their music-theoretical studies.

As a general note because people tend to confuse this:
Obviously, many written texts use the Präteritum, even though one gets the impression that it is scarcely used in everyday life. Now, this does not imply that Präteritum is the past tense used in written form whereas Perfekt is the kind of informal spoken form of it. Nor does it mean that one needs to convert a spoken Perfekt to Präteritum when writing it or use Perfect when re-telling a scary novel at a campfire.
Obviously, there is a point to it or people wouldn't notice. However, it is of course not that Präteritum was so complicated that it could only be used at a desk with one hand in the conjugation table.
The reason is that the form and intention of texts which are written down and texts which are spoken differs:
Präteritum is the way of telling a story. Therefore, it is also used when writing a story. A story in that sense is anything which is remote. It may be in the past, it may be in the future, it may just not be of primary concern for the person who tells it.
Perfekt is the way of discussing something which happened in the past and is of primary and immediate relevance for the person who tells it. So, when a friend asks, why you look so happy and whether any of the events the other day are related to that, you may very well use Perfekt tense because it is not remote to you or him/her.
As an interesting read, I may suggest the book 'Tempus: Besprochene und erzählte Welt' written by Harald Weinrich which explains this difference for various European languages. (I think the belleslettres article makes similar arguments but I haven't had the time to fully read it.)

To provide for maximum flexibility in adding software modules, your module is dynamically loaded as a shared object at run time. The list of loadable objects (modules) is maintained in a system configuration database file called OWconfig.
By default, Calibrator Tool reads OWconfig from the /usr/openwin/server/etc directory. If it does not find the OWconfig file or the modules in it that it is looking for, it reads the OWconfig file from /etc/openwin/server/etc.
This chapter explains how to create, insert, and remove OWconfig file entries for calibration modules. The chapter also describes how the server uses the information in OWconfig entries to locate a dynamically loadable module.
OWconfig is a database for various dynamically loadable objects. It not only can contain entries for calibration but also can include entries for other extensions and X Window System modules. The guidelines in this chapter pertain specifically to modules that interact with Calibrator Tool.

A number of image analysis tasks require the registration of a surface model with an image. In the case of satellite images, the surface model may be a map or digital terrain model in the form of surface elevations on a grid of points. An affine transformation is developed between coordinates of Multi-Spectral Scanner MSS images produced by the LANDSAT satellites, and coordinates of a system lying in a plane tangent to the earths surface near the sub-satellite Nadir point.

Rights advocates turn to social media for campaign vs killings in PH
"They tried to bury hundreds and thousands of us; they did not know that we were seeds."
Why rights groups shun government-led 'independent probe on rights abuses' in the Philippines
Time and again, human rights organizations have called for independent investigation of mounting cases of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, arrests and filing of trumped-up cases, to name a few.
Movement launched in search for justice for slain Bacolod activist
The World Council of Churches urged the UN Human Rights Council to create an independent and impartial investigative mechanism on the rampant extrajudicial killings and human rights violations in the Philippines, consistent with the recommendations of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, which was released in June 2020.
SC urged anew to grant protection to human rights defenders
Just days before and after the murder of Alvarez, several members of Karapatan are receiving death threats, warning that they are next if they do not stop human rights work.
Gov't body to probe killings; can it ever deliver justice?
However, doubts have been raised over whether the investigating body can truly undertake an impartial investigation into the two latest EJKs and other cases. You'll find the reasonable ground for these doubts after looking into the nature, composition and apparent inertia of the investigating body.
Balik-Tanaw | Pentecostes: Si Hesus: Ang Propeta, Ang Kristo
Ang mga propeta ang gumabay sa kanila sa mahabang panahon at tumulong upang marinig ang mensahe ni Yahweh sa ginta ng iba't ibang paghihirap at pagkalimot.
UN experts call for independent probe on killings of rights defenders
"We are saddened and appalled by the ongoing violence and threats against human rights defenders in the Philippines, including the killing of two human rights defenders over the past two weeks." — UN spokesperson
Cheerful and caring, Zara Alvarez was an activist who never backed down
Zara, who loved the sea, who loved to eat seafood and their local rice cake dipped in chocolate sauce, who worked tirelessly and selflessly, was murdered in one rainy evening. Yet, her fire burns eternal.
International rights groups call for an end to 'cold-blooded killings' in PH
They urged the Philippine authorities "to carry out an immediate, thorough, impartial, and transparent investigation into Alvarez's murder, to identify all those responsible, bring them before an independent tribunal, and sanction them as provided by the law."
The denial that led to the killing
But her death will be a living testimony that terror-tagging is dangerous, that senseless murders happen under a regime that does nothing but to sow fear among the people.

Moving Food-Resilience Data to the Cloud
People need food, regularly and often. That's such an obvious truth that's it's easy to lose sight of it—easy, that is, until calamity strikes and the food supply is endangered, as it could be in the wake of ongoing changes to Earth's climate. That prospect is far from inviting.
This is why Microsoft supports the White House's inclusion of Food Resilience as one of the themes of its Climate Data Initiative (CDI), an effort to open, organize, and centralize climate-relevant data on Data.gov's Climate website. And that's why teams from across Microsoft—including the company's research unit—are playing an intrinsic role in supporting the initiative.
The CDI was announced on June 25, 2013, by U.S. President Barack Obama. Little more than a year later, progress is under way. Work on the Coastal Flooding Risks to Communities theme began in March, and in Washington, D.C., on July 29, the White House announced public and private partnerships and commitments in further support of CDI.
One of those partnerships features the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) joining forces with Microsoft Research to organize data sets and tools in the cloud to provide insight into vulnerabilities in the food system. Climate change could affect almost all aspects of that system, from the ability to grow food, to the reliability of food transportation and food safety, to international trade in agricultural goods.
Microsoft has posted the USDA data sets to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace—they can be accessed by entering the search term "USDA"—to help make it easier for others to obtain data for analysis and apps. Those data and associated tools are provided by Microsoft Research as part of the Microsoft Azure for Research program.
"Microsoft is working with the USDA on the CDI initiative," says Dan Fay, director of Earth, Energy, and Environment for Microsoft Research, "because we believe that technology can help with the challenge of climate change and food resilience.
"This can be accomplished through making the data much more available via the Microsoft Azure Marketplace—as well as helping users better analyze the data via tools such as Microsoft Excel and cloud-based tools such as Azure Machine Learning."
Microsoft contributions to the CDI Food Resilience initiative are broad and detailed. Among them are the Azure Marketplace, which not only will expose the USDA data sets, but also will add more data sets over the next year, as well as introducing an Agriculture tab to its user interface; Power BI, which provides self-service data analytics and provides free access to the Azure Marketplace; and the Developer and Partner Evangelism and Microsoft in the Public Sector groups, which will co-create and drive activations for a planned series of related appathons.
Microsoft Research, too, has a robust role to play in topics that affect agriculture, such as assuring food safety, protecting natural resources, fostering rural communities, and addressing hunger, both in the United States and abroad.
The USDA and Microsoft Research will co-host a pair of innovation workshops in Washington, D.C., on July 30 to engage with farmers and producers to understand the challenges they face.
The first, a morning workshop focusing on food production, will be held at the White House and will address the need for data and tools that can be used by young farmers and producers to cope with climate change.
In the afternoon, the CDI spotlight moves from the White House to the Microsoft Innovation & Policy Center on K Street for a workshop on safe food distribution and the data and tools distributors need as the climate changes.
Microsoft and the USDA also will host the Innovation Challenge, a series of developer activities related to food resilience in key U.S. metro areas, at Microsoft Innovation Centers and collegiate campuses, from Oct. 20-Dec. 10.
The goals of the challenge, beyond demonstrating Microsoft's commitment to addressing climate change with tools and services, are to develop and publish new apps and tools to visualize and analyze multiple sources of data. Those apps and tools will enable new questions to be answered and will encourage users to create apps to reformat complicated USDA data sets into the Azure interface.
"The Innovation Challenge," Fay says, "is a way to focus attention on how the data sets being made available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace from the USDA and other agencies can be used to create new analyses and make the results available via tools and applications.
"This is an opportunity for individuals to use the data sets in innovative ways for the betterment of society."
Participants in the Innovation Challenge—as well as the general public—will benefit from a series of webinars produced by Microsoft and the USDA to describe the data sets and drive awareness of open-source data provided by the U.S. government. The series will come after the workshops, aligned with the release of new data sets in the Azure Data Marketplace.
In addition, Microsoft Research will offer a CDI award program with another Microsoft Azure Request for Proposals, this one devoted to food resilience. Twenty awardees who submit proposals by Sept. 15 will receive a year's worth of free cloud-computing resources. Each award provides as many as 180,000 hours of cloud-computing time and 20 terabytes of cloud storage.
All of these efforts, from the White House, the USDA, and Microsoft, are designed to forestall the day when climate change interrupts the world's food store.
"Making the outcome of the analysis more widely available and accessible via apps on mobile devices and PCs," Fay says, "is a key way that Microsoft can help."

5 Elements to Be Included in Your Project Proposal Cover
5 Elements to Be Included in Your Project Proposal Cover
Let's say you know how to mobilize fund for your NGO and are ready to intrigue the donor with your great proposal; however, you stumbled on your proposal cover and don't know what to include, happens a lot right?
Well, here's the answer; in this article, you'll find the 5 essential elements to include in your proposal cover and finally, you can cross this task from your to-do list.
Making the right proposal cover is crucial to maximizing your chances of getting a donor's fund; the main elements to be included are:
 1. The Name of the Project
 2. Date of Submission
 3. Your NGO Name and Logo
 4. Donor's Name and Logo
 5. Proposed Period for Implementation.
 1. The Name of the Project
Usually, we choose the name of the project after finishing writing the proposal and before sending it to the donor. Due to the importance of the project's name, you should take enough time to think and be convinced by the name as it gives the first impression to the donor and it might increase their focus on the project and prepare them to accept it. Therefore, we advise the proposal writer to choose a good name, taking into consideration the following points:
 - Consistent
 That means the name should be consistent with the project and represent what the project is actually about. Don't name your project "Urgent Medical Aidswhen your project is in fact about delivering food.
 Don't come up with a tricky name just so the donor considers your proposal, because if they did and they found out that the proposal isn't consistent with what they read in the cover, then you are risking not only the refusing of your proposal, but the probability of not being considered for any of your future proposals; and that's a huge cost for such an easy task to consider.
"Don't come up with a tricky name just so the donor considers your proposal"
 - Mentions the Field
 That means the field which the project belongs to such as FoodHealthWater, or any other field or cluster that your proposal falls in.
 The reason you need to do that is because donors often are looking for some fields and not considering others, so if your proposal is within the field that they are funding, then your chances of getting funding is bigger; however, if your proposal isn't, then it'll be hard, if not impossible, to get that funding from that donor.
 - Mentions the Area
 This is important because some donors are interested in some areas more than others, possibly due to an urgent need to cover or because no one is working there and the donor was waiting for someone to come up and do the work there. Many reasons can confirm the importance of mentioning the area so do it; it won't take that long anyway!
 - Brief
 It is preferred not to exceed 6-10 words, and it can be one sentence that consists of one or two parts. The first part consists of 2 to 4 words then (:) then the second, 4-6 words.
 Make sure though it delivers the needed elements like the ones stated above; also ensure it conveys the project and gives a clear picture of what it is.
"Include the field that your proposal belongs to because donors often are looking for specific fields and not considering others"
Examples of the implemented projects' names by local and international organizations:
 - Sanitation Project: Improving sanitation, water, hygiene in Alsood and Alsoodah.
 - Yemen at a Crossroads: Enhance good governance in Yemen.
 - Emergency Response Project for education services in Taiz and Aden
 - Empowerment Project for Local Development in Addis Ababa.
 - Emergency Medical Services Project in Accra.
"It is preferred not to exceed 6-10 words in the title, and it can be one sentence consists of one or two parts"
2. Date of Submission
That is the date of submitting the project to the donor. It's preferred to include it on the project so the donor can see the priority of timing; therefore, the older proposals will be addressed and reviewed first, followed by the new ones, which ensure that you get a response from the donor in accordance with your submission date.
It's also useful to see whether or not the proposal falls in a certain period of time, wherein the donor called for proposals within, or whether it was outside of that period. As such, it should be treated differently.
3. Your NGO's Name and Logo:
Evidently, you should submit your NGO's name; after all, you need to be addressed by the donor and get the funding under your NGO's name if your proposal gets approved.
On the other hand, the name is important for the donor as well to check whether or not both of you have a previous relationship, and if so, how was it? That could shorten a huge amount of time and effort in reviewing and assessing.
 "Having a previous relationship with the donor could shorten a huge amount of time and effort in reviewing and assessing"
For the logo, if your NGO has one, then make sure to put it near your name so the donor recognizes your organization even If the viewer didn't read your NGO's name, as they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words".
If your NGO doesn't' have a logo, it's highly recommended to get one before sending that proposal; your logo should be uniqueconveys your message, and looks trustworthyAfter all, it's your NGO visual message to the viewer.
4. Donor's Name and Logo::
As we mentioned in the previous point, it's important to include your NGO's name and logo, but why would you include the donor's name and logo? At the end the proposal, will be delivered to them anyway right?
Well, yes and no; yes, the proposal should be delivered to the donor, but no, you don't want to omit their name and logo. First of all, because it ensures that the proposal is in the right place.
Second, it delivers the message that you are applying specifically for that donor after going through their qualifications and conditions; thus, you send it to them exclusively and you're not targeting multiple donors with the same proposal, hoping that one of them will just say: "Yes here's the money!" It doesn't work that way, at least we've never heard of such a thing.
"Including the donor's name and logo ensures that the proposal is in the right place"
5. Proposed Period for Implementation:
The period during which the organization proposes to implement the project, you can write it like this (From:1st January 2019 to 31st December 2019), this (1st Jan. 2019 – 31st Dec. 2019), or this (1/1/2019 – 31/12/2019), the moral here is that it's clear and concise.
The reason you need to indicate the project's supposed period is so that the donors can decide whether or not they are interested, because some donors prefer short period projects that can be assessed quicker to determine your NGO capacity and ability of implementation, especially if your NGO is still young or if the relationship itself is still in the early stage with that donor. Another reason can be if the donor is interested in long period projects that can leave a long-term impact on society.
"Some donors prefer short-term projects that can be assessed quicker; others prefer long-term projects that leave an impact on society."
If you don't know what period your proposal have and you are still contemplating, then if your NGO still young and you don't have much accomplishments in the past, then consider a tiny budget project with a shorter period of time. However, if your NGO is large and you've accomplished a lot with this donor or others, you can propose a larger budget and a long-term project that can leave a significant impact on society.
Of course, either period of time
 can be changed based on what occurs during the implementation phase, either in decreasing or increasing the timeframe; you just need to contact your donor first to update them with your progress and to discuss and get the approval for the new time period.
Your proposal cover needs to include the name, date of submission, your NGO name and logo, the donor's name and logo and the proposed period for implementation.
Including these five elements in your proposal cover can maximize your chance to get selected and secure the funding for your project.
We hope you know now what to include in your proposal cover. If so, we'd like you to consider Portal365 to write that proposal.

[Seminar] Professor Lisa Giocomo: Multiple maps for navigation
We are excited to have an online seminar by Prof. Lisa Giocomo from Stanford University. She has done a series of important works on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying spatial navigation and memory. Everyone is welcome to join the seminar!
Multiple maps for navigation
Over the last several decades, the tractable response properties of parahippocampal neurons have provided a new access key to understanding the cognitive process of self-localization: the ability to know where you are currently located in space. Defined by functionally discrete response properties, neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex and hippocampus are proposed to provide the basis for an internal neural map of space, which enables animals to perform path-integration based spatial navigation and supports the formation of spatial memories. My lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms that generate this neural map of space and how this map is used to support behavior. In this talk, I'll discuss how learning and experience shape our internal neural maps of space to guide behavior.
You can join the seminar via ZOOM (meeting ID: _PHONE_, Password: 436475).

In early 2021, a team of UO CIS students came together to develop a Python library to support machine learning and data science. The students were presented with a unique challenge in the CIS 422 Software Methodologies class, which is taken by all CIS majors, and in Winter, 2021, was taught by visiting scholar Dr. Juan Flores, from the University of Michoacan, Mexico.
The students not only wrote the software library, but also wrote a paper describing the library and its scientific value. The paper was accepted for publication, and will be presented in July, 2021, at the International Conference on Time Series and Forecasting. The article is entitled "Pipeline Trees - An Auxiliary Tool in the Creation of Time Series Pipelines."
The challenge presented to the students in the class was to address a problem that occurs when applying machine learning and data science to time-series forecasting. Such forecasting is used to predict future outcomes, such as to predict solar irradiance and ambient temperature, which in turn permits engineers to predict the energy that will be generated by solar panels, and the energy that will need to be generated by other means.
The challenge was to develop a software library that could be used to explore the "pipeline space" of time-series forecast modeling. That is to say, to explore all possibilities of the processing steps that could be taken before launching a forecasting model. Several software libraries already exist to support the execution of pipeline-processing steps once the steps are decided, but few or no libraries to support the exploration of possible steps. This library-development challenge was built into the project that Dr. Flores crafted for his class. The project captures the research-informed teaching provided to UO CIS students.
Congratulations to the student team for this great accomplishment as you start your careers in computer science!

Mojo
Key names
Names of virtual keys recognized by Mojo, the utility for players of Dark Age of Camelot (DAOC).
When you specify a key in a script, you must write the name of the key. To learn the name of a key, press it while you watch "Your last action" on Mojo's Geeky Stuff Tab.
What I just said applies to keys on your keyboard. But the operating system (Windows) also recognizes lots of keys that don't exist on your keyboard. This is because Windows works with many languages, and keyboards made for other languages have other keys. You can use all of those keys in your scripts, even keys that don't exist on your keyboard. Sometimes this is useful.
Actually, to get technical, what we're really dealing with here is virtual key codes. The operating system recognizes over two hundred of them as shown in the table below. The operating system doesn't assign names to these codes, only numbers, so Mojo uses its own names as shown in the table.
Like I said, you can use any key name from the table in your scripts. You can use them in triggers or Key () commands. For example:
Hotkey ( Hangul )
{
 Key ( 7 )
}
Hangul is a key found on Korean keyboards. You need a Korean keyboard to trigger that hotkey with your finger, but you can trigger it indirectly on any keyboard by pressing F1 if you add this second hotkey to your script:
Hotkey ( F1 )
{
 DoHotkeyAsync ( 0 Hangul )
}
Sometimes this technique is useful for triggering Mojo hotkeys from macro devices like gaming mice. You can tell the mouse to send a "non-physical" key like Hangul or Junja to Mojo, and in that way you conserve physical keys on the keyboard for use as triggers that you press with your fingers.
Only the first column (names) in the table are used with Mojo. The other columns are given in case anybody wants to know for other reasons.

MALIGNANT BONE TUMOURS- A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS IN RELATION TO AGE, SEX AND SITE
Abstract
Arvind Kumar1, Usha Singh2
chondrosarcoma refer to cartilage forming tumour.
Aim of the study is to find out frequency of malignant tumour of bone and to categorise the various histological type of bone cancer with respect to age, sex and site.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This is a retrospective, nonrandomised analysis of all patients with biopsy confirmed malignant primary bone tumour including multiple myeloma and secondary metastatic bone tumour who presented between May 2015 to April 2016 in OPD of Radiation Oncology Department of Mahavir Cancer Sansthan. Epidemiological data related to patient demographics, location and histology were recorded and analysed.
RESULTS
In our study, 48.4% patients were suffering from primary bone tumours, 51.5% patients were having secondary bone tumour. Peak incidence of primary malignant tumour was seen in the age group of 10-19 years (48.3%) and for secondary metastatic tumour peak seen in 60-69 years of age. Male-to-female ratio were 1.8:1 in primary bone tumours, 1:2 in secondary bone tumours. Ewing's sarcoma (41.9%) was more common than osteosarcoma (19.3%), multiple myeloma in 22.5%, malignant giant cell tumour 9.6% and chondrosarcoma in 6.4% patients. For metastatic bone tumour, most common source were of breast cancer (39.3%), followed by 21.2% uterine cervix, 15.1% head and neck cancer, 12.1% prostate cancer, 3% ovary and 3% renal cell carcinoma.
CONCLUSION
Most common bone affected in primary malignant bone tumour was femur 32.2% followed by tibia 19.3% and for secondary bone tumour vertebra 60.6% followed by pelvic bone 51.5%. Most common malignant neoplasm diagnosed was metastatic tumours of bone. Ewing's sarcoma was the most frequent primary bone tumour in our study. The primary bone tumours was more common in males. The most common source for metastatic bone tumour was breast cancer.

Lightweight forged differential
Differentials are found in all vehicles – in four-wheel drives there are even two of them. They are mostly designed as a hypoid-toothed ring gear or as an input gear with helical teeth on the outside. Both types are connected to a cast housing. This can lead to geometry duplications (e.g. for fastening) which increase the system mass. Hirschvogel opts for a forged component area which can be designed very thin due to the high Young's modulus and the high strength of the steel. Welding the part to a ring gear or speed gear (whose central area then forms the cover of the differential housing) leads to significant weight savings compared to conventional solutions.
Technical specifications
Application Area Differential, powertrain
Material Case-hardening steel for toothed part, bainitic or dispersion-hardening steel for housing component; both materials have good weldability
Porduction process Forged, machined, heat treatment, joined
Characteristics Lightweight solution beyond conventional approaches


Take the 2-minute tour ×
Edit: I discovered a partial answer to my own question in the process of writing this, but I think it can easily be improved upon so I will post it anyway. Maybe there's a better solution out there?
I am looking for an easy way to define recursive functions in a let form without resorting to letfn. This is probably an unreasonable request, but the reason I am looking for this technique is because I have a mix of data and recursive functions that depend on each other in a way requires a lot of nested let and letfn statements.
I wanted to write the recursive functions that generate lazy sequences like this (using the Fibonacci sequence as an example):
(let [fibs (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + fibs (rest fibs)))]
 (take 10 fibs))
But it seems in clojure that fibs cannot use it's own symbol during binding. The obvious way around it is using letfn
(letfn [(fibo [] (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (fibo) (rest (fibo)))))]
 (take 10 (fibo)))
But as I said earlier this leads to a lot of cumbersome nesting and alternating let and letfn.
To do this without letfn and using just let, I started by writing something that uses what I think is the U-combinator (just heard of the concept today):
(let [fibs (fn [fi] (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (fi fi) (rest (fi fi)))))]
 (take 10 (fibs fibs)))
But how to get rid of the redundance of (fi fi)?
It was at this point when I discovered the answer to my own question after an hour of struggling and incrementally adding bits to the combinator Q.
(let [Q (fn [r] ((fn [f] (f f)) (fn [y] (r (fn [] (y y))))))
 fibs (Q (fn [fi] (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (fi) (rest (fi))))))]
 (take 10 fibs))
What is this Q combinator called that I am using to define a recursive sequence? It looks like the Y combinator with no arguments x. Is it the same?
(defn Y [r]
 ((fn [f] (f f))
 (fn [y] (r (fn [x] ((y y) x))))))
Is there another function in clojure.core or clojure.contrib that provides the functionality of Y or Q? I can't imagine what I just did was idiomatic...
share|improve this question
I noticed that writing fibs in this way results in terrible performance because (I presume) the combinator doesn't store results under the symbol fibs, but rather re-generates values on the fly? How can I make this more performant? – ivar Jul 30 '10 at 15:59

I have written a letrec macro for Clojure recently, here's a Gist of it. It acts like Scheme's letrec (if you happen to know that), meaning that it's a cross between let and letfn: you can bind a set of names to mutually recursive values, without the need for those values to be functions (lazy sequences are ok too), as long as it is possible to evaluate the head of each item without referring to the others (that's Haskell -- or perhaps type-theoretic -- parlance; "head" here might stand e.g. for the lazy sequence object itself, with -- crucially! -- no forcing involved).
You can use it to write things like
which is normally only possible at top level. See the Gist for more examples.
As pointed out in the question text, the above could be replaced with
(letfn [(fibs [] (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + (fibs) (rest (fibs)))))]
for the same result in exponential time; the letrec version has linear complexity (as does a top-level (def fibs (lazy-cat [0 1] (map + fibs (rest fibs)))) form).
Self-recursive seqs can often be constructed with iterate -- namely when a fixed range of look-behind suffices to compute any given element. See clojure.contrib.lazy-seqs for an example of how to compute fibs with iterate.
c.c.seq provides an interesting function called rec-seq, enabling things like
(take 10 (cseq/rec-seq fibs (map + fibs (rest fibs))))
It has the limitation of only allowing one to construct a single self-recursive sequence, but it might be possible to lift from it's source some implementation ideas enabling more diverse scenarios. If a single self-recursive sequence not defined at top level is what you're after, this has to be the idiomatic solution.
As for combinators such as those displayed in the question text, it is important to note that they are hampered by the lack of TCO (tail call optimisation) on the JVM (and thus in Clojure, which elects to use the JVM's calling conventions directly for top performance).
top level
There's also the option of putting the mutually recursive "things" at top level, possibly in their own namespace. This doesn't work so great if those "things" need to be parameterised somehow, but namespaces can be created dynamically if need be (see clojure.contrib.with-ns for implementation ideas).
final comments
I'll readily admit that the letrec thing is far from idiomatic Clojure and I'd avoid using it in production code if anything else would do (and since there's always the top level option...). However, it is (IMO!) nice to play with and it appears to work well enough. I'm personally interested in finding out how much can be accomplished without letrec and to what degree a letrec macro makes things easier / cleaner... I haven't formed an opinion on that yet. So, here it is. Once again, for the single self-recursive seq case, iterate or contrib might be the best way to go.

Thanks for the great reply! I'm aware of iterate but it is hard to use in my particular problem (because the real structure of the problem uses data from multiple irregularly shaped trees, not a simple Fibonacci). I will definitely study that macro and rec-seq though! – ivar Jul 31 '10 at 11:48

fn takes an optional name argument with that name bound to the function in its body. Using this feature, you could write fibs as:
(def fibs ((fn generator [a b] (lazy-seq (cons a (generator b (+ a b))))) 0 1))

The relatively simple task of rearranging column entries so an employee's last name comes first, and first name follows, is accomplished with a string of formulas.
Bill Jelen, CFO.com | US
December 1, 2010
Editor's Note: To read more about spreadsheets, share a tip with other readers, or suggest a topic for Bill Jelen to cover in an upcoming column, click here to visit CFO.com's Spreadsheet Tips page.
Cindi M wins an autographed copy of Guerilla Data Analysis Using Microsoft Excel for her question: "If you have a list of employee names in one column showing last name, first name (Smith, John), how do you convert the list to show first name last name (John Smith)?"
There are two different approaches to this problem, either a formulaic solution or using Text to Columns followed by concatenation. In this week's article, you will see the formula solution.
Solving the Problem One Step at a Time
Say that the names start in A2 and run down column A. Although you can solve the problem with a single formula as shown in Figure 5 (below), it will be less intimidating to break this problem down into smaller problems.
Where Is the Comma?
In Figure 1 (left), the formula in cell B2 uses the FIND command to locate the first comma within cell A2. =FIND(",",A2) returns the value 6 because the comma is the sixth character in SMITH, JOHN.
The positional values in column B will be used by the LEFT and MID functions to retrieve the first and last names.
Getting the Last Name
The last name in each cell in column A starts in the first character and runs up to just before the comma. If you know that the comma is in the sixth position, then you want to get the leftmost five characters. The LEFT function will return the leftmost N characters from a cell.
The formula in C2 is =LEFT(A2,B2-1). This formula returns all of the characters up to but not including the comma. (Figure 2, below)
Many Choices for the First Name
The MID function is my choice for retrieving the first name. The function lets you specify a starting position and a number of characters. For example, =MID("ABCDEFG",4,2) would start at the fourth character and return two characters which would be the letters "DE".
To get JOHN from SMITH, JOHN, you would want to use something like =MID(A2,8,4). It is easy enough to calculate the 8 as the starting position by using B2+2.
Some people will calculate the number of characters by using the LEN function to find the total number of characters. However, if you want to grab all of the characters to the end of the cell, you can instead ask for a larger number of characters than would ever be expected.
My formula in D2 is =MID(A2,B2+2,50). (Figure 3, below). This will return the 4 letters of JOHN. I often have people ask if Excel will add an additional 46 spaces after the name to make the whole 50 characters. Since Excel does not pad the answer to force it to be 50 characters wide, this approach is simpler than the alternative formulas:
Joining the Text Back Together
The fancy word for joining cells is "Concatenation". Some people might use the =CONCATENATE() function to join the text. I find it easier to use the & sign which acts like the plus sign, but for adding text. So the formula, written =D2&C2 would join the values together like JOHNSMITH. Since you will want a space between the names, use =D2&" "&C2 to join together the first name, a space, and the last name.
If you want to convert the name from capital letters to proper case, use =PROPER(D2&" "&C2), as shown in Figure 4, below.
Using a Single Formula to Solve the Problem
If you are new to FIND, LEFT, MID, and PROPER, then it helps to build the formula one step at a time. If you get to the point where you understand all of those functions, you can build a single formula in B2 to solve the problem. The formula, which would be written out in one long string — as illustrated in Figure 5 — would look like this:
Don't Forget to Convert the Formulas to Values
Before you delete the names in column A, you need to convert column B from formulas to values. This is almost as simple as a Copy and Paste, with one twist. The steps are different in various versions of Excel, and I'll point out the differences below.
Converting Formulas to Values Excel 2010
Select column B. Use the Copy command on the Home tab. Open the Paste dropdown and choose the large letter A to paste values (Figure 6, below).
Converting Formulas to Values Excel 2007
Select column B. Use the Copy command on the Home tab. Open the Paste dropdown and choose Paste Values.
Converting Formulas to Values Excel 2003 and Earlier
Select column B. Use the Copy command on the Edit Menu. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Special. In the Paste Special dialog, choose Values and click OK. (Figure 7, below).

Computer modeling helps stadium's solar panels withstand quakes
07/15/2009 | PCWorld
A new 55,000-seat stadium in Taiwan that has the ability to provide its own power and water is reported to be among the greenest buildings in the world. The stadium, sometimes called the "sun-powered stunner," is also designed to withstand severe earthquakes and typhoons. Solar panels on the stadium's roof generate energy for the building, and builders used computer modeling to determine the impact that earthquakes or typhoons would have on the panels.

Yellow corydalis plants have finely cut foliage with yellow, tubular flowers.

Yellow corydalis makes an excellent border plant.
Yellow corydalis
Item number:
What is yellow corydalis? Yellow corydalis (Corydalis lutea = Pseudofumaria lutea) is a shortlived perennial in the bleedingheart family (Fumariaceae). The genus Corydalis has approximately 300 species, and the name derives from the Greek 'korydalis' meaning crested lark, a reference to the fact that the plants' flowers resemble a lark's head. Other common names of yellow corydalis include yellow fumitory, hollowort, and yellow larkspur. Native to the southern Alps of Europe, this plant is hardy in zones 4 through 8.
Yellow corydalis plants form neat mounds of finely cut, delicate-looking light-green to blue-green foliage, somewhat resembling the foliage of maiden hair ferns or bleeding hearts. The pinnately compound leaves have three lobes, and are pale green above and glaucous (i.e., waxy) below. The leaves are borne on weak, hollow and fleshy stems. Plants grow up to 18 inches tall, but often are much shorter.
In mild climates, yellow corydalis remains evergreen (although not necessarily attractive), but in climates with colder winters, dies back to the ground. In very hot summers or during drought, plants may also die back, but they often resume growth in the fall when cooler, moister conditions prevail. In Wisconsin's relatively cool climate, when planted in a moist site, yellow corydalis does not die back at all. This is in contrast with the majority of other Corydalis species that are more easily heat-stressed and prone to dieback.
As its name suggests, yellow corydalis produces bright, golden-yellow flowers. It blooms over a long period, from late spring through frost. The one to two inch long flowers have four petals arranged in an irregular tubular shape with a spur in the back. Flowers are borne in racemes of six to 16 flowers on stems that rise above the foliage. Slender, dehiscent capsules (i.e., seed pods that naturally break open along a seam) follow the flowers. Capsules eventually burst to scatter their seed.
In addition to C. lutea, there are other Corydalis species with yellow flowers that are suitable for use in the garden.
C. aurea (hardy to zones 3 through 8) is known as scrambled eggs and is a biennial that produces small flowers in the spring of the second year of growth.
C. cheilanthifolia (hardy to zones 4 through 9) has fern-like leaves and upright, butter-yellow flower clusters. The leaves become bronze in the fall.
C. ochroleuca (hardy to zones 5 through 8) has blue-green leaves, with creamy yellow-white flowers with green lips and yellow throats.
While useful as an ornamental, yellow corydalis does have one potentially problematic characteristic. It is toxic to horses, causing mouth sores, gingivitis, colic and sudden death (if enough is ingested). Therefore, yellow corydalis should not be allowed to invade pastures.
Where do I get yellow corydalis? Yellow corydalis plants are available at many nurseries and garden centers that stock perennials. Once established in the garden, this plant tends to self-seed prolifically, and can become somewhat weedy in certain conditions, although it is easily removed where not wanted. Yellow corydalis commonly establishes around stone walls or in gravelly soil. Seedlings can be transplanted in early spring. However, established plants often do not perform well if moved. If you do transplant yellow corydalis, plants will require extra watering and will often struggle for the remainder of the season. Yellow corydalis plants are also not easily divided, but divisions can be made in early spring. Although it self-seeds readily, yellow corydalis is not easy to germinate indoors due to its complex dormancy requirements. To germinate the seeds, sow them in a moist potting medium, then place them in a plastic bag and keep at room temperature (approximately 70ºF) for six weeks. Move the seeds to near freezing conditions (28 to 38ºF) for six to eight weeks, then return to cool conditions (50 to 60ºF). If there is no germination after several weeks, repeat the heating and cooling steps a second time.
How do I grow yellow corydalis? Yellow corydalis grows well in either sun or light shade. It prefers well-drained soil and does best with good moisture during hot weather. However, it does not tolerate wet soils during winter. Yellow corydalis likes ordinary to rich, humusy soil, but tolerates drier, gravelly soil and sandy loam to clay as well. In heavier, wetter soils, shallow planting may help yellow corydalis survive Wisconsin's harsh winters. Yellow corydalis is relatively insect pest and disease-free.
How do I use yellow corydalis most effectively in my garden? Yellow corydalis can be extremely attractive when used to edge borders or walkways. In rock gardens, cottage and woodland gardens, it is a good filler and may naturalize. It will grow well in stone walls in cool conditions. Yellow corydalis combines well with bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis), lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis), lungwort (Pulmonaria spp.), foam flower (Tiarella spp.), hosta (Hosta spp.), leopard plant (Ligularia spp.), and many other perennials in a shade garden. Try yellow corydalis in sunny areas under taller plants like peonies (Paeonia spp.) or daylilies (Hemerocallis spp.).

A Medium posts claims that Laser Bear Honeycomb is a best-in-class perimeter sensor. Tt's the same sensor fond aaround the bumper in its autonomous test vehicles. It features:
- Wide field of view: Where some 3D lidar have a vertical field of view (FOV) of just 30°, the Honeycomb has a vertical FOV of 95°, plus a 360° horizontal FOV. That means one Honeycomb can do the job of three other 3D sensors stacked on top of one another.
- Multiple returns per pulse: When the Honeycomb sends out a pulse of light, it doesn't just see the first object the laser beam touches. Instead, it can see up to four different objects in that laser beams' line of sight (e.g., it can see both the foliage in front of a tree branch and the tree branch itself). This gives a rich and more detailed view of the environment, and uncovers objects that might otherwise be missed.
- Minimum range of zero: The Honeycomb has a minimum range of zero, meaning it can see objects immediately in front of the sensor. This enables key capabilities such as near object detection and avoidance.
Offering this lidar to its partners, Waymo claims it helps spur the growth of applications outside of self-driving cars and also propels our business forward.
"We can scale our autonomous technology faster, making each sensor more affordable through economies of scale," said

Connect to live data from Printful with the API Driver
Connect to Printful
Link Printful with FileMaker Pro
Use the MySQL Remoting feature of the JDBC driver to integrate Printful data in Filemaker Pro for Mac or Windows.
This article shows how to use the CData JDBC Driver for Printful to integrate with the External SQL Sources (ESS) feature in FileMaker Pro, which allows you to link records in FileMaker Pro with related records in your other operational data stores.
You will use the MySQL Remoting feature to access Printful as a remote MySQL database. The CData JDBC Driver for Printful implements both the JDBC and MySQL standards to integrate with applications like FileMaker Pro that support connections to traditional databases like MySQL but not generic JDBC connections.
Selecting a FileMaker Pro Integration
Use the JDBC the JDBC driver to create an external SQL source (ESS). The remote data can be modified in FileMaker Pro and tables can be used in the relationships graph like standard FileMaker Pro tables.
Outlining the ESS Setup
The JDBC driver is part of a data access chain. Compared to a native ODBC integration, FileMaker Pro integrations that use MySQL remoting have several additional components. This article shows how to link each of the following components with FileMaker Pro:
 1. The CData JDBC driver.
 2. The CData MySQL Remoting daemon (included with the driver).
 3. An ODBC driver for MySQL.
 On Windows, FileMaker Pro requires the official MySQL driver, the MySQL Connector\ODBC (currently, the best option is Connector\ODBC 8.0.11).
 On macOS, FileMaker Pro requires the Actual Technologies Open Databases ODBC driver.
 4. An ODBC driver manager.
 On Windows, the driver manager is built in. On macOS, you will need to install a driver manager before installing the ODBC driver; install the iODBC driver manager.
Start the Remoting Daemon
Follow the steps below to enable the MySQL Remoting feature:
 1. Open Terminal and change to the lib subfolder in the installation folder.
 $ cd "/Applications/CData/CData JDBC Driver for Printful/lib"
 2. Edit the configuration file (cdata.jdbc.api.remoting.ini by default):
 - Update the [databases] section with the JDBC Connection URL for Printful: api = "Profile=C:\profiles\Printful.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=my_api_key';"
 Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Printful Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Printful.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Printful (see below).
 Printful API Profile Settings
 In order to authenticate to Printful, you'll need to provide your API Key. To get your API Key, first go to 'Settings' then 'Stores'. Select the Store you would like to connect to, then click the 'Add API Access' button to generate an API Key. Set the API Key in the ProfileSettings property to connect.
 See the help documentation for more information about the available connection properties and other configuration options for remoting.
 3. Start the MySQL daemon by specifying the configuration file or settings on the command line. The example below uses the included sample configuration file.
 $ java -jar cdata.jdbc.api.jar -f "cdata.jdbc.api.remoting.ini"
Create the DSN
After connecting successfully to Printful and starting the MySQL daemon, create a MySQL ODBC data source. When working with ODBC data sources, you specify connection properties in a DSN (data source name).
If you have not already obtained an ODBC driver and driver manager, refer to "Outlining the ESS Setup" to determine the components supported for your platform.
macOS
Follow the steps below to use the iODBC graphical administrator tool:
 1. Open iODBC by searching in the launchpad.
 2. On the System DSN tab, click Add and select Actual Open Source Databases.
 3. Provide the following information to complete the wizard:
 - Name: Enter the DSN.
 - Server: Enter 127.0.0.1 or the address of the machine where the MySQL daemon is running.
 - Port: Enter the port that the daemon is listening on. For example, 3306.
 - Database: Enter the name of a database specified in the config file for the daemon. For example, API.
 - In the Metadata tab, check the boxes for:
 - "Ignore schema in column specifications"
 - "Don't use INFORMATION_SCHEMA for metadata"
 4. Click Test Connection and enter your credentials in the dialog.
Windows
You can use the built-in Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create the ODBC DSN.
 1. From the Control Panel, select Set Up Data Sources (ODBC). The ODBC Data Source Administrator is displayed.
 2. On the System DSN tab, click Add and select the MySQL ODBC driver.

Create Printful Shadow Tables
Shadow tables exist in an external SQL source but can be used in much the same way as other tables in your FileMaker database; you can add them in the relationships graph, browse data, and create layouts on them.
 1. Click File -> Manage -> Database.
 2. On the Relationships tab of the resulting dialog, click the Add a Table button in the Table/Relationships section.
 3. In the Data Source menu, select Add ODBC Data Source and then select the DSN you created in the previous section.
After specifying the username and password for the DSN, you can add Printful tables to the relationships graph. You can now scroll through, sort, and summarize Printful data by clicking View -> Browse Mode, just as you would a remote MySQL database.
