Handling completed jobs
Completed jobs are handled by programs called assimilators. These are generally application-specific: they might copy output files from the BOINC upload directory to a permanent location, or they might parse the output files and insert results into a database.
Creating an assimilator
To create an assimilator, link the program sched/assimilator.cpp with a function of the form
int assimilate_handler(
 WORKUNIT& wu, vector<RESULT>& results, RESULT& canonical_result
);
This function is called when either
 - The workunit has a nonzero error mask (indicating, for example, too many error results). In this case the handler might write a message to a log or send an email to the project administrator.
 - The workunit has a canonical result. In this case wu.canonical_resultid will be nonzero, and canonical_result will contain the canonical result.
In both cases the 'results' vector will be populated with all the workunit's results (including unsuccessful and unsent ones). All files (both input and output) will generally be on disk.
It's possible that both conditions might hold.
The return values of assimilate_handler() are:
 - 0: success: the workunit will be marked as assimilated.
 - DEFER_ASSIMILATION: the workunit will be processed again when another instance finishes. This is useful for appliations where you want to see all the completed results.
 - Other nonzero values: the assimilator will log an error message and exit. Typically assimilate_handler() should return nonzero for any error condition. This way the system administrator can fix the problem before any completed or erroneous workunits are mis-handled by BOINC.
You can use BOINC's back-end utility functions to get file pathnames and open files.
Running assimilators
Run assimilators as BOINC daemons: that is, add an entry
<daemon>
 <cmd> my_assimilator --app APPNAME </cmd>
</daemon>
to your project's configuration file.
Assimilators have the following command-line options:
--app name
the application name
[ --mod N R ]
process only jobs with mod(ID, N) == R. This lets you run multiple assimilators in parallel to increase throughput.
[ -d N ]
set verbosity level (1 = least, 3 = most)
[ --dont_update_db ]
don't mark jobs as assimilated (for testing)
Using scripting languages
The assimilator script_assimilator lets you write assimilator logic in your language of choice (Python, Perl, PHP, bash, etc.). script_assimilator takes a command-line argument
--script "filename arg1 ... argn"
script to handle a completed job
arg1 ... argn represent cmdline args to be passed to the script for successful workunits. The options are:
files
list of output files of the job's canonical result
wu_id
workunit ID
result_id
ID of the canonical result
runtime
runtime of the canonical result, in seconds
If no args are specified, the script is invoked as
scriptname wu_id files
If the workunit has no canonical result (i.e. it failed) the script is invoked as
scriptname --error N wu_id
where N is an integer encoding the reasons for the job's failure (see WU_ERROR_* in html/inc/common_defs.inc)
The script must be put in your project's bin/ directory.
Python assimilator framework
A framework for all-Python assimilators can be found in sched/assimilator.py. See the comments for instructions.
The sample assimilator
BOINC includes a sample assimilator, sample_assimilator. It does the following:
 - For successful workunits, it writes the canonical instance's output files to the directory PROJECT/sample_results/. If there is only one output file it is named WU_NAME. If there are more than one they are named WU_NAME_0, WU_NAME_1, etc. If there are no output files, an empty file WU_NAME_no_output_files is created.
 - If the workunit failed (e.g., too many errors) it appends a line to sample_results/errors containing the workunit name and the error code.
The sample assimilator can be used as a placeholder while you are developing your application. In some cases you may be able to use it in production.

Re: Poll: How important is the notion of "gaining advantage over your partner" in your aikido training?
If I understand Mark Uttech, I agree. To my thinking, you cannot be correctly practicing aikido without "gaining advantage" over your partner. So, I suppose it's really about how one interprets "Gaining advantage".
To me, it means being in control of oneself, and the situation, perhaps through physically controlling the attacker, or perhaps through mentally being confident in the situation. If we're talking exclusively about practice in classs, it's usually both. For me.

|Title: ||Activity of water extracts of Cistus ladanifer and Lavandula stoechas in soil on germination and early growth of wheat and Phalaris minor|
|Authors: ||Dias, A.S.|
|Issue Date: ||2004|
|Abstract: ||The phytoactivity of water extracts of C. ladanifer and L. stoechas on P. minor germination, as observed under controlled conditions, was lost in soil. Conversely, early growth of wheat and P. minor was sensitive to water extracts of C. ladanifer and L. stoechas. Nevertheless, because of differential effects on early growth of the weed and crop, L. stoechas unlike C. ladanifer, is worth searching for inhibitors of P. minor, among the ca. 80 compounds identified so far in its essential oil.|

Vocal percussion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Vocal percussion is the art of creating sounds with one's mouth that approximate, imitate, or otherwise serve the same purpose as a percussion instrument, whether in a group of singers, an instrumental ensemble, or solo.
In Western music[edit]
Recent musicological research points at Brazilian songwriter and musician Marcos Valle as a pioneer of vocal percussion.[citation needed] In the track "Mentira" from his 1973 album "Previsao do Tempo", Valle imitates a drum kit with his voice.
Beatboxing, an artform pioneered by rapper Doug E. Fresh, is one school of vocal percussion, originating in hip-hop music and often used to accompany rapping. it is utilized by many musicians spanning over a wide variety of genres.
In Indian music[edit]
Vocal percussion is also an integral part of many world music traditions, most notably in the traditions of North India (bols) and South India (solkattu). Syllables are used to learn percussion compositions, and each syllable signifies what stroke or combination of strokes the percussionist must use.
The art of speaking these syllables is called konnakol in South India, and traditional dance ensembles sometimes have a dedicated konnakol singer, although this practice is now waning. At one time it was a very respected art form, with many masters and singers.
In North India, the practice of reciting bols is usually limited to the percussionist reciting the composition about to be played, often in the context of a longer solo. These recitations are also sometimes spoken by a Kathak dancer.
Mouth drumming[edit]
Mouth drumming is a form of Beatboxing which involves vocally imitating the sound of a drum kit as precisely as possible in order to use the voice to serve the same function as a drummer in a musical setting. It is mostly used in a cappella music but has also been used in rock and jazz. Artists who specialize in this technique are simply referred to as vocal percussionists.[1]
Wes Carroll is credited as the term coiner and pioneering practitioner of this art.[2] Well known for his ability to realistically vocalize the sounds of a drum kit, and use them as the primary rhythm section in bands and a cappella groups, he inspired many vocalists and musicians to continue this artform after him. Jeff Thacher and Dave Baumgartner[3] are other well known pioneers.
In a cappella[edit]
Many a cappella groups use mouth drumming as a way of using the voice to provide a steady rhythm section for their music.
A cappella groups such as Five o-clock Shadow, The House Jacks, Rockapella, Overboard, SoVoSo, Transit and Naturally 7 are well known for further advancing the art and its popularity.
In rock and jazz music[edit]
Although it is not common, mouth drumming has also been used in traditional band settings. David Worm (who has also performed it for the a cappella group SoVoSo) has often incorporated the technique in his acoustic rock band "Glass house". Kaichiro Kitamura[4] is a Japanese vocal percussionist specializing in this art who has incorporated it in both a cappella and jazz groups. Otha Major is another vocal percussionist and beatboxer, who has often used the technique in rock performances as well as with the a cappella group Kickshaw.

We have received funds from the Research and Development Corporation of the Government of Newfoundland (RDC Ignite Grant) to conduct a project entitled "Knowledge of the factors affecting antioxidant properties in partrideberry will lead to a more profitable berry harvest in Newfoundland"
The main objectives of this project are:
- Estimate the total phenolics and antioxidant capacity of wild partrideberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) populations distributed across 10 ecoregions of Newfoundland and Labrador. Environmental effects on these biochemical properties will be elucidated. Download publication here: cjb-2016-0041pr
- Using next generation DNA sequencing technology, we will address questions like: Are geographically proximate populations also genetically closer? Do genetically close populations contain similar biochemical properties? Is the variation in chemical composition determined by genotype or by the environment?
- DNA sequencing will reveal thousands of mutations among wild populations. Based on sequence similarity to available protein sequences in the database of the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information, we will link these mutations to genes and their tentative metabolic pathway, paying attention to those related to the synthesis of phenolics.
Two MSc students, Zobayer Alam and Hugo Morales are conducting this research.

Temperature profiles of microheaters using fluorescence microthermal Imaging
|Title||Temperature profiles of microheaters using fluorescence microthermal Imaging|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2005|
|Authors||Van Keuren, E., Cheng M., Albertini O., Luo C., Currie J., and Paranjape M.|
|Journal||Sensors and Materials|
A detailed knowledge of the temperature profile is critical in many microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. We used fluorescent microthermal (FMT) imaging for measuring this profile in a MEMS microheater that is an integral part of a glucose-sensing chip. The temperature profile on the heater surface was measured for a range of applied powers below 1 mW. The maximum temperature at the heater center was found to vary linearly with the applied power from room temperature to similar to 50 degrees C. The imaging was sensitive to temperature changes on the order of 0.1 degrees C. Finite element modeling confirmed both the two-dimensional profile of the temperature on the heater surface as well as the dependence of the temperature on the applied power.

MOKA, SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 (CISA)- Pope Francis on September 9 concluded his 31st Apostolic visit to Mozambique, Madagascar and Mauritius with a meeting with government authorities, civil society leaders and the diplomatic corps in the presidential palace in Moka where he encouraged them to promote economic policies that are favorable to all people.
"Since its independence, your country has experienced a steady economic development that should certainly be a reason to rejoice, but also to be on guard. In the present context, it appears that economic growth does not always profit everyone and even sets aside – by certain of its mechanisms and processes – a certain number of people, particularly the young," Pope Francis said.
"That is why I would like to encourage you to promote an economic policy focused on people and in a position to favour a better division of income, the creation of jobs and the integral promotion of the poor," he noted.
He also urged the Mauritians to be welcoming of immigrants, and to uphold their dignity and human rights.
"Your people's DNA preserves the memory of those movements of migration that brought your ancestors to this island and led them to be open to differences, to integrate them and to promote them for the benefit of all. For this reason, I encourage you, in fidelity to your roots, to take up the challenge of welcoming and protecting those migrants who today come looking for work and, for many of them, better conditions of life for their families," he said.
"Make an effort to welcome them, following the example of your ancestors, who welcomed one another. Be protagonists and defenders of a true culture of encounter that enables migrants (and everyone) to be respected in their dignity and their rights," he urged.
He lauded the religious tolerance and co-existence among them and encouraged Catholics to continue participating in the process of maintaining the peace.
"I would like to express my appreciation for the way that here in Mauritius the different religions, while respecting their specific identities, work hand-in-hand to contribute to social harmony and to uphold the transcendent value of life against every kind of reductionism. And I express once more the desire of the Catholics of Mauritius to continue to participate in this fruitful dialogue that has so deeply marked the history of your people," he said.


How to Change the Language on a Samsung TV
As a tech company, Samsung is one of the most sought-after TV brands. With their high-quality TVs and sleek design, they are a popular choice in American households.
How to Change the Language on a Samsung TV
One thing that sets them apart from other brands is that they allow you to customize anything you want, from colors down to the typeface used for on-screen text.
And the best part? You can change the language used on the on-screen menu from the default language to any other language you're comfortable with. For example, you can switch over from English to German if your German friends come to visit.
Whether your default setting was changed by accident or because of a remote battle with your kids, you can easily change the language and lock in the text you understand.
In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to change the language on your Samsung TV.
How to Change the Language on a Samsung TV
Whether your new Samsung TV came in a language that you don't speak, or your kids pushed buttons and inadvertently messed things up, don't fret. You can easily change your Samsung TV's language and navigate the menus with ease.
That said, the method used depends on the model of your TV.
Let's see the steps you need for various models.
2017 Models and Later
Here's how to change the language on your TV's menu if you've got a model produced in 2017 or later:
 1. Press Home on your TV remote.
 2. Select Settings from the on-screen menu. This should open a new menu where you can adjust various settings on your TV, including the picture quality, sound, and language.
 3. Select General.
 4. Select System Manager.
 5. Click on Language. This should open a dropdown menu with different languages.
 6. Use the up and down arrows to scroll through the list and select the language you want.
2016 Models
For models produced in 2016 (K range), here's how to change the menu language:
 1. Press Settings on your remote.
 2. Select System from the on-screen menu.
 3. Open Expert Settings.
 4. Click on Language.
 5. Scroll through the list to select your preferred language.
2015 Models
If your TV belongs in either the L or the J range, here's how you can change the menu language:
 1. Press Home on your TV remote.
 2. Select System.
 3. Click on Menu Language.
 4. Select the language you want from the dropdown submenu.
2014 Models and Earlier
If you've got an older Samsung TV produced in 2014 or earlier (H or HU range), this is how you adjust the menu language:
 1. Press Menu on your TV remote.
 2. Select the System icon from the popup menu.
 3. Click on Menu Language.
 4. Scroll through the list and select your desired language.
If you're not sure what model your TV is, you can find it by looking at the back of your TV. Alternatively, you can find it in your TV's settings menu. To do so:
 1. Navigate to the settings menu using your remote.
 2. Click on Support.
 3. Select About this TV. You should see the model number or code displayed on the popup screen.
Change Language Greyed Out on Samsung TV
Sometimes when you attempt to change the language on Samsung TVs, the language setting may be greyed out, making it impossible to switch to a new language. This is a relatively common issue, especially with the older models.
If you find yourself in this situation, you've got two options. First, try to close all applications running in the background. That's because some applications are known to block some menus temporarily.
If that doesn't work, a factory reset could solve the problem.
How To Change the Keyboard Language
Samsung smart TVs come with keyboard support to help you control your set from the comfort of your couch. With it, you can adjust volume or picture resolution, search for apps, and even switch off your TV. You can also use it to browse the web or post updates on your social media handles.
But to do any of these things, your keyboard settings need to be in a language you're comfortable with because each language comes with its own keyboard layout.
With your TV keyboard language set to English, for example, you can't type umlauted vowels (ä, ö, ü) heavily used in the German language. Your Samsung keyboard language needs to be set to "German" to use them.
Here's how to change the language on your Samsung smart TV keyboard:
 1. Press Home on your TV remote.
 2. Select Settings.
 3. Select General and then click on External Device Manager.
 4. Select Input Device Manager and click on Keyboard Settings.
 5. Click on Keyboard language. This should open a list of all the supported languages where you can select the one you prefer.
How To Change the Language in Netflix on a Samsung TV
Samsung's integration with Netflix means you don't need a PC or mobile device to stream your favorite shows or movies. However, changing your TV's language through the settings section only changes the text used in your TV's menus. It doesn't change the language used on the Netflix app.
To change the text used on the Netflix app, you have to open the app itself and tweak its language settings.
Here's how to go about it:
 1. Launch the Netflix app on your TV.
 2. Select the Netflix profile of interest.
 3. Navigate to the Account section and scroll down to Profile & Parental Controls.
 4. Select the profile for which you want to change the menu language.
 5. In the Language section, click the dropdown menu.
 6. Click on the Change button next to Language.
 7. Choose your preferred language from the list by clicking it.
 8. Click the Save button.
How To Change the Language on YouTube on a Samsung TV
A Samsung smart TV works pretty much like a computer because you can stream movies and music from YouTube. But as with Netflix, you can't change the text used on YouTube just by tweaking your TV's settings. You can only do so from within the YouTube app.
Here are the steps:
 1. Open the YouTube app and navigate to Settings.
 2. Scroll to Language & Location.
 3. Click on Language.
 4. Click on the edit icon and then select your preferred language from the dropdown list.
 5. Click on Confirm Change to save your new settings.
Navigate All Menus Like a Pro
If your TV's settings menu is displayed in a language you don't recognize, don't fret. You can switch over to your preferred language in just a few steps. This will allow you to tweak other settings on your TV and lock in a more enjoyable experience.
The good thing about Samsung TVs is that no matter the language in use, the order of items that make up the menu doesn't change. For example, suppose "System Manager" appears as the first option under the "Settings" menu when you've set English as your default language. In that case, it will still be the first option under that menu when using German as your default language.
This means that even if you change the menu language by mistake, you can comfortably navigate through the menus and switch back to the language you want.

A biogas additive produced by Cardiff-based Genesis Biosciences and used in the wastewater treatment process has secured pre-eminent results in a live trial ahead of its launch to market later this year.
The three-month trial was part of the United Utilities Innovation Lab and allowed the opportunity to test Evogen Biogas Additive in a real-world environment based on a set of predetermined objectives; increase biogas generation, increase energy production and reduce final sludge volume for disposal with no detrimental impact on the final sludge quality. Genesis' additive surpassed on all targets.
Evogen Biogas Additive, which uses specially selected microbes to aid anaerobic digestion, produced a 19.3% increase in biogas production over the twelve-week assessment, a 9.1% boost in energy production – which translates to an additional 49,482 KWH over the period – and a reduction in sludge for disposal of 12%-16%. By utilising Evogen Biogas Additive, the cost analysis showed that the test facility could generate an extra £45,000 per annum, equating to a £2 return on every £1 spent on product.
Anaerobic digestion (AD), which produces biogas, is fast becoming an integral part of the wastewater treatment process among local authorities and private companies. The ability to use microorganisms to produce methane rich biogas from sewage sludge and organic waste matter offers the potential to produce heat and electricity from an ever present and growing waste source.
Through the AD process, specialised microbes interact in the absence of oxygen to breakdown the organic components of sludge and waste to facilitate biogas production. This greatly decreases the final volume of the original waste whilst yielding energy that can be used to offset plant processing and operating costs.
With daily dosing, Evogen Biogas Additive helps to optimise the AD process in order to overcome the typical challenges associated with the process.
Alongside the Innovation Lab, further trials have taken place across Europe, proving Evogen Biogas Additive's efficacy.
Genesis is an industry leader in fermenting bacteria strains and developing safe and natural microbial and antimicrobial solutions for a wide range of applications. The Evogen range provides quality, performance-driven and environmentally responsible microbial products designed to provide effective and sustainable alternatives to traditional harsh chemicals including those used in wastewater management.
Following the results of the trial, Genesis Biosciences Research Scientist Dr. Chris Charles, said: "United Utilities utilise our Evogen Professional cleaning range at their headquarters, and collaborating for the Innovation Lab felt like the ideal opportunity to investigate the feasibility of our new technology for the UK municipal wastewater treatment market.
"It was a privilege to take part in the Innovation Lab 3 and ultimately to see such great results for Evogen Biogas Additive. The trial has proved pivotal in further improving our data suite for the product and we hope it will aid in giving customers and prospects confidence in our technology, while also paving the way for the early technology to be rolled out across the UK and Europe."
United Utilities manages the water and wastewater services in the North West of England, delivering 1.8 billion litres of water a day to more than 3 million homes and businesses, as well as treating all the wastewater. Its Innovation Lab is focussed on providing the most efficient and sustainable working practices and allows both start-up and established companies a live operational environment to learn and develop potential ideas and solutions.

Determine all automorphisms of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)$
Here $\omega$ is a complex cube root of unity.
From an earlier part of the problem, I have that the only automorphism of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2})$ is the identity map. I've found that $[\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega):\mathbb{Q}]=6$. After that, I have a bunch of very hazy notions about how to proceed. The text I'm using has just defined Galois group and Galois extension but hasn't yet given any indication of what they're for. (It always seems to me that peeking ahead in the book to get a solution is only getting me to miss some more basic idea I'm supposed to be getting).
So I know that an automorphism, when applied to the root of a polynomial, will give me another root of the polynomial. I know that since $[\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega):\mathbb{Q}]=6$, there is a 6th degree irreducible polynomial, a root of which will generate $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)$. This polynomial, whatever it is, has 6 roots that get permuted around by the automorphisms.
So 6! automorphisms? That seems a bit much. But how do I knock it down to a reasonable number? And after that, how do I find out what they are?

Not every permutation of roots is an automorphism: it must preserve the field structure to be the latter. – anon Apr 11 '12 at 19:35
Any automorphism is determined by where it sends $\sqrt[3]{2}$ and $\omega$. $\sqrt[3]{2}$ must go to one of the three cube roots of three, while $\omega$ must go to one of the two complex cube roots of one. Thus there are at most $3 \cdot 2=6$ automorphisms. – Chris Eagle Apr 11 '12 at 19:38
So you know that automorphisms applied to the roots of a polynomial (with rational coefficients!) give you other roots of the polynomial. This doesn't just apply to the minimal polynomial of a primitive element; it also applies to $x^3 - 2$ and to $x^2 + x + 1$... – Qiaochu Yuan Apr 11 '12 at 19:40
If this is homework, tag it as such. – lhf Apr 11 '12 at 19:46

There is a general techinque for finding Galois groups. I shall outline them for this actual case:
 1. Verify that your extension is Galois. For example, I claim that our extension is the splitting field of $x^3-2$. Indeed, the roots of $x^3-2$ are $\sqrt[3]{2},\omega\sqrt[3]{2},\omega^2\sqrt[3]{2}$ and clearly $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)$ is equal the field generated by these roots over $\mathbb{Q}$. Thus, our extension is the splitting field of a separable polynomial.
 2. Find the degree of your extension. For us it's pretty simple since one can verify that the following tower holds
$$\begin{array}{c}\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)\\ \vert 2\\ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2})\\ \vert 3\\ \mathbb{Q}\end{array}$$
The first from the fact that we know that minimal polynomial $m_{\mathbb{Q},\sqrt[3]{2}}=x^3-2$ and the second since evidently $1+x+x^2\in\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2})[x]$ annihilates $\omega$ and $\omega\notin\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2})$ (since it's not real). Thus the multiplicative property of towers gives that our extension is degree six.
3.Find how many possible elements can be in the Galois group of your extension. In our case, you have noted that any $\sigma\in\text{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)/\mathbb{Q})$ must send $\sqrt[3]{2}$ to another root of its minimal polynomial, which there are three (since its minimal polynomial, as we know, is $x^3-2$), and $\omega$ must be sent to a root of its minimal polynomial $1+x+x^2$ of which there are two. Thus, the possible values that $\sigma$ sends $(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)$ to are $(x,y)$ such that $x\in\{\sqrt[3][2],\omega\sqrt[3]{2},\omega^2\sqrt[3]{2}\}$ and $y\in\{\omega,\omega^2\}$. Since any $\sigma$ is determined by the value it takes on $(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)$ (since they are generators) you can conclude there are at most six $\sigma$'s (not the statistical framework) and so $|\text{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)/\mathbb{Q})|\leqslant 6$.
4.Use the fact that our extension is Galois to conclude that $|\text{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2},\omega)/\mathbb{Q})|$ is the degree of our extension, which is six. Aha! But we know that our Galois group has at most six elements--those $\sigma$ sending the generators to the six possible choices for $(x,y)$. But, since there MUST be six automorphisms we may conclude that all six possible automorphisms ARE automorphisms. Thus, we have found our Galois group
The obvious trick was to show that even though we can a priori only bound the number of possible automorphisms, using Galois theory we can figure out exactly how many automorphisms we SHOULD have which often forces all possible choices to be all actual choices.
I hope that was helpful. Feel free to ask any questions.

Prostitution in France the exchange of sexual acts for money was legal until April, but several surrounding activities were illegal, like operating a brothel, living off the avails pimping, and paying for sex with someone under the age of 18 the age of consent for sex is In the Napoleonic era, France became the model for the regulatory approach to prostitution.
In the 20th century, however, a policy shift became apparent. Brothels became illegal in, and France signed the Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others in France thus became a major supporter of the international abolitionist movement for the eradication of prostitution see Abolitionism in France.
Prostitutes were not marginalized, but integrated into society where they had a role to play. In stories which were often ribald, prostitutes would be complicit with other women in avenging men. The great Cathedral of Chartres had a window endowed by prostitutes The Prodigal Son in the same way as other windows were endowed by various other trade guilds The Trade Windows.
During the Middle Ages, the various authorities, civil or noble, oversaw prostitution as an institution. Charlemagne AD was amongst those rulers who attempted to suppress prostitution, declaring flogging lashes as a punishment in his capitularies. This was primarily aimed at the common man, since harems and concubines were common amongst the ruling classes.
Some idea of the seriousness with which the state regarded the offense is provided by the fact that lashes was the severest sentence prescribed by the Code Alaric.


Speed Control Policy
Traffic conditions on residential streets can greatly affect the liability of neighbourhoods. When streets are safe and pleasant, quality of life is enhanced. Neighbourhood residents are concerned with a variety of issues such as traffic volumes, vehicle speeds and the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. To help alleviate residents concerns, the City of Niagara Falls initiated neighbourhood traffic management programs.
Neighbourhood traffic calming measures are implemented to resolve traffic and safety problems on residential streets. Neighbourhood traffic calming involves altering motorist behaviour on a single street or on a portion of a street network. Is is the combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behaviour and improve conditions for non-motorized street users.
Effective speed control measures include primarily the use of speed humps with the use of traffic circles in some situations. Speed control measures not only reduce vehicular speeds but they can also elp discourage non-local traffic from travelling through a neighbourhood. Based on the City's past experience, all-way stops on their own are generally not effective for speed control.
For speed control devices to be considered, at least 51% of the residents on the street must be in favour of speed control devices, in addition to a speeding problem being identified. A speeding problem is noted when the operating speed is 10 km/h or more above the speed limit (i.e. 61 km/h or more in a 50 km/h zone) on a residential collector or local street, or when the operating speed is between 1 km/h and 10 km/h over the speed limit (i.e. 53 km/h in a 50 km/h zone) when there is at least one pedestrian generator (school, park, retirement home, etc.) abutting the residential collector or local street.
If you feel that your street is a good candidate for speed control measures, please submit a correspondence to the City's Transportation Services Department. Once received, the City will scheduled technical studies to determine if there is a speeding problem on your street. If so, the project will continue with a questionnaire to all affected property owners, inviting their opinion for speed control devices on the street.

text: Angular potentials play an important role in the refinement of protein structures through angle-dependent restraints (e.g., those determined by cross-correlated relaxations, residual dipolar couplings, and hydrogen bonds). Analytic derivatives of such angular potentials with respect to the dihedral angles of proteins would be useful for optimizing such restraints and other types of angular potentials (i.e., such as we are now introducing into protein structure prediction) but have not been described. In this article, analytic derivatives are calculated for four types of angular potentials and integrated with the efficient recursive derivative calculation methods of Gō and coworkers. The formulas are implemented in publicly available software and illustrated by refining a low-resolution protein structure with idealized vector-angle, dipolar-coupling, and hydrogen-bond restraints. The method is now being used routinely to optimize hydrogen-bonding potentials in ROSETTA.

List the events that reduce the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of a primarty effluent during sewage treatment.
Answer
The events that reduce the BOD of a primarty effluent are:
 Primary effluent is passed into large aeration tanks where it is mechanically agitated and air is pumped into it. Mechanical agitation of primary effluent leads to growth of aerobic microbes which reduce the BOD.

 VL64 is most used in server > client packets.
 What's VL64? Well, it's an encoding for numbers, it makes numbers 'understandable' for the Habbo client.
 Example;
 I = 1
 J = 2
 K = 3
 PA = 4
 You can see an ascending of the numbers, see? [1=2-3]
 And you also see something of the alphabet in it. [I-J-K]
 -1 in VL64 is M.
 Okay, that looks pretty easy.
 How does a 'big' number in VL64 looks like?
 We'll encode _PHONE_.
 Result: "hUuoG"
 Ah yeah! Self explaining!
 Not really lol.
 Well, if you see the code of the encoding (can be found in JASE etc, HabboEncoding class), it's pretty logical.
 But why using such cryptic things just for numbers?
 At packets, Habbo likes to use alot of numbers after each other without delimiters.
 Like if you want to use 10, 39, 843, and 7 after each other in a packet, you can do _PHONE_, but then it's a whole different number.
 There's where VL64 comes in.
 Let's encode the numbers 10, 39, 843 and 7...
 10: RB
 39: SI
 843: [RC
 7: SA
 "Ehm, yeh, and now? Why?"
 Well, VL64 has a 'magical' part that makes it that good as it is:
 If you decode a whole VL64 string, so like RBSI[RCSA, it'll return as number ONLY the first encoded number in the string!
 So, only the 10 (the first encoded number of that string) will be the result, while you've inputted a whole string with three other VL64 numbers!
 Now it'll get tricky, but I'll show you how to decode a string like that to it's original numbers.
 1) Decode RBSI[RCSA, 10 will be the result
 2) Encode 10 to VL64, so it'll become RB.
 3) RB is 2 characters, R-B
 4) Now we 'cut' the first number (RB = 10) from the string RBSI[RCSA, and we know the lenght of the first part. In a .NET language for example, we can do that by this way;
 STRING OBJECT.Substring(start,length).
 If length isn't supplied than it will trigger an overload (a 'brother' of a void/function) that will simply 'run to the end of the string', so taking everything after 'start'. That's what we want, since we only want to cut off the first part and keep the other part.
 So: STRING OBJECT.Substring(2)
 It'll result in;
 SI[RCSA
 Okay, now I can say, just repeat till you are done! =D
 Keep decoding the whole string to one number, store the number somewhere to work with it or w/e, and encode the number to a VL64 string, get it's length (STRING OBJECT.Length property in .NET), and keep the string after that part by using string manipulators such as .Substring.
 It appears that it's hard to explain lol, code says more than thousand words! ;P
 PHP Code:
 // encodeVL64, returns a string
 // decodeVL64, returns an integer
 string SomeInput "PAJIKPASASF";
 while(
 SomeInput != ""// Keep looping this loop till the string is empty (so, completed with decoding)
 {
 int currentNumber decodeVL64(SomeInput);
 // Do something with current number, write it in database or something, just where you need the number for
 int currentNumberLength encodeVL64(currentNumber).ToString().Length// Encode the number to it's VL64 equivalent to see what it would be if you only encoded that number to VL64, and get it's length
 someInput someInput.Substring(currentNumberLength); // Only keep the part of SomeInput after the string
 // Proceed to next cycle of the loop (so, decode the next number)
 That's how you can use alot of numbers after each other, while the numbers stay on their own && this is what Habbo wants to keep their packets small.
 I hope you have understood something of it.
 Anyway, that's what the VL64 analyzer in Nillus Packet Scout does, and tbh, it helps me alot at finding packet structures.
 I'll show how it can decode a BattleBall packet for you, which gives you alot more 'understanding' of how it works.
 Full packet + header:
 CtIQAJPCSAIJPCHJHJXKDX]BIIJQAPCRE
 Okay, Ct is the header, but it looks like a load of crap.
 Nope, it are just numbers!
 Let's shove the part after the header ("Ct") in my app and hit the button...
 Result:
 Result of this VL64 scout session was:
 # I = 1
 # QA = 5
 # J = 2
 # PC = 12
 # SA = 7
 # I = 1
 # J = 2
 # PC = 12
 # H = 0
 # J = 2
 # H = 0
 # J = 2
 # XKD = 1068
 # X]B = 628
 # I = 1
 # I = 1
 # J = 2
 # QA = 5
 # PC = 12
 # RE = 22
 Processed input string summary: I-QA-J-PC-SA-I-J-PC-H-J-H-J-XKD-X]B-I-I-J-QA-PC-RE
 Woo, numbers!
 There you can do something with, can't you?
 & That's where it comes handy while coding.
 How it works?
 It just runs that loop till the string is empty, and outputting the result after decoding done.
 A good example of where it's used is BattleBall/SnowStorm and the Recycler/Ecotron, alot of numbers after each other as tidy as possible.

Quick Answer: How Does A Confirmation Name Work?
Is confirmation in the Bible?
Scriptural foundation The roots of confirmation are found in the Church of the New Testament.
In the Gospel of John 14, Christ speaks of the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles (John 14:15–26)..
Can you have two confirmation names?
Yes you can, just put them together like John Mary or whichever saints you chose. …
What does a sponsor do at a confirmation?
At Confirmation there is usually just one sponsor. Sometimes it is one of the godparents. At Confirmation the sponsor presents the child to the bishop. The sponsor stands behind the child and places his or her hand on the child's shoulder as a sign of support.
How does a confirmation work?
Here's what happens at the actual ritual of Confirmation: You stand or kneel before the bishop. … The bishop anoints you by using oil of Chrism (a consecrated oil) to make the Sign of the Cross on your forehead while saying your Confirmation name and "Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit." You respond, "Amen."
Can a girl choose a male saint for confirmation?
Many Catholics have been drawn to a Saint, and taken their name for their Confirmation, regardless of gender. Many names are purposeful alterations of gender specific names even; such as Patricia for Patrick, Frances for Francis, and so on. … Yes, you can use any saint!
Do you use your confirmation name?
Confirmation is a religious ceremony that has no real legal status. That is, no civil government agency or court is involved in the process. So, a confirmation name is just a religious activity that each person can choose to include in their name or not. Most don't.
How do you pick a saint for confirmation?
You may choose your Baptismal name, select a name from the Bible, or a canonized saint of the Catholic Church. The saint you choose should reflect a devotion you have to the saint, virtues or gifts to which you aspire, or the patron saint of certain gifts that are dear to you.
Why is the confirmation important?
It enables a baptised person to confirm the promises made on their behalf at baptism. It is also a sign of full membership to the Christian community. In Christian confirmation, a baptised person believes that he or she is receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. … Confirmation can be held at any age.
What age do you receive confirmation?
How do you get confirmation?
To be eligible for confirmation, a candidate must be baptized and attend confirmation or catechism classes. One of the steps to prepare for confirmation is requesting the sacrament. In most churches, confirmands write a letter to their priest to formally request the sacrament of confirmation.
What is the point of a confirmation name?
Choosing a confirmation name is an important step on the path to living a devoted, holy life in the Catholic Church. Your confirmation name, typically the name of a saint, will serve both as a reminder to your commitment to God and as your inspiration for being a steward of the church.
What are the 7 steps of confirmation?
Terms in this set (7)1 Reading from the Scripture. Scripture pertaining to Confirmation is read.2 Presentation of the Candidates. You are called by name of by group and stand before the Bishop.3 Homily. … 4 Renewal of Baptismal Promises. … 5 Laying on of Hands. … 6 Anointing with Chrism. … 7 Prayer of the Faithful.

This page attempts to identify all possible locations for every place mentioned in this book of the Bible.
The isobands you see on the map (gray areas with dark borders) attempt to give you confidence where a region is. Because many ancient regions aren't precisely defined, I consulted atlases to determine where the biblical region is located and used that data to build the isobands. The smaller isobands reflect more confidence that the given isoband is in the region, while the larger isobands reflect less confidence. Isobands are a kind of contour line that here indicate confidence levels.

Alaska Residential Energy Rebates
(These programs are currently under development)
The Department of Energy (DOE) is currently developing guidelines for state administered "Home Energy Rebate" programs as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Once DOE has published its guidelines, AHFC will begin designing rebate programs that both follow DOE guidelines and take Alaska's unique needs and challenges into consideration. Upon DOE approval of Alaska's energy rebate programs, AHFC will implement and administer those programs. To receive updates as our rebate programs develop, please subscribe by providing your email in the box below:
The Department of Energy has published a tentative timeline, outlining their plan to solicit state operated residential energy rebate programs:
- Key stakeholder engagement activities guide content for Request for Information regarding rebate programs.
- Solicit public comment on the Request for Information.
- Receive and process information from the Request for Information.
- Publish guidance to states and Indian Tribes.
- States submit plans and applications for review and approval by Department of Energy.
- Funds distributed to state agencies to begin implementing their programs.
The Home Efficiency Rebate Program
will provide rebates for whole-house energy savings retrofits. Incentives for most households are $2,000 for 20% energy savings and $4,000 for 35% energy savings. The savings under this program are doubled for households with income below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
The Home Electrification And Appliance Rebate Program
will provide point-of-sale consumer discounts on the purchase of certain high-efficiency electric home appliances, along with certain home electrical upgrades, insulation, and air sealing. There is an income cap of 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI) to participate.
Editor's Note: Updated July 25, 2023 to reflect a change to the Department of Energy's tentative timeline.

Religion and National Identity in Eastern Europe and Eurasia
The Pew Research Center recently conducted a survey on the relationship between religious and national identity in Eastern European and Eurasian countries, noting changes in the way that religious identification has influenced national identity since the fall of atheist fundamentalism with the USSR. For religious and belief minorities—now including atheists—the relationship can be a troubling one, particularly as resurgent nationalism in the region has been accompanied by xenophobia and religious discrimination.
Here are highlights from the findings:
70% (Orthodox-majority) / 57% (Catholic-majority)
Average among countries who believe majority religious identity is very or somewhat important to national identity
Percentage within Orthodox-majority countries who believe Orthodox religious identity is very or somewhat important to national identity
Percentage within Catholic-majority countries who believe Catholic religious identity is very or somewhat important to national identity

A Church's Response to the death of Ahmaud Arbery
While Holy Week is typically recognized by days such as Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, there is one particular day that doesn't quite get the attention it probably deserves - in particular, the day between the Cross of Good Friday and the Empty Tomb of Resurrection Sunday, otherwise known as 'Holy Saturday,' This post explores the significance of darkness, symbolized with the tomb. When we learn to embrace the darkness, the light of resurrection becomes that much brighter.
A reflection on Lent through Isaiah 58. There is a difference between an acceptable fast and fasting for self-gain. Don't waste your fast!

Location: Milky WayMaroon SeaCaspian System Third planet
Prerequisite: Feros: Geth Attack (Mass Effect)
Description Edit
Almarcrux has an atmosphere of methane and ethane. Despite the distance from Caspian, the energetic young star heats the surface to almost temperate levels. Thick ground fogs are common at the terminator, where water ice frozen during the long dark side night meets the warm air masses from the day side. The crust is mainly composed of copper with deposits of sodium.
Almarcrux's abundant water and relatively mild temperature and gravity have placed it on the short list of terraforming candidate worlds. However, there is significant opposition from eco-ethics groups, who assert that Almarcrux's primitive methanotrophic bacteria may be a precursor to a full-fledged native ecology.

Domotics (home automation) control systems are among the most innovative and rewarding design projects creative electrical engineers can undertake. Let's take a look at an innovative Beagle Board-based control system that enables a user to control lights with a 10.1˝ capacitive touchscreen.
The design features the following modules:
- An I/O board for testing purposes
- An LED strip board for controlling an RGB LED strip
- A relay board for switching 230-VAC devices
- An energy meter for measuring on/off (and also for logging)
ELektor editor and engineer Clemens Valens recently interviewed Koen van Dongen about the design. Van Dongen describes the system's electronics and then demonstrates how to use the touchscreen to control a light and LED strip.
As Valens explains suggests, it would be a worthwhile endeavor to incorporate a Wi-Fi connection to enable cellphone and tablet control. If you build such system, be sure to share it with our staff. Good luck!

WIPP Project
The world's first deep geological repository
Above-ground facilities at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP)
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is a repository for military and research-related radioactive waste located in Carlsbad, in a desert area of south-eastern New Mexico. The facilities cover 14 hectares of a sprawling 4,144 hectare site. The US Department of Energy has been operating the facility since 26 March 1999.
The United States is the first country in the world to have begun operating a deep geological repository for radioactive waste. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, in south-eastern New Mexico, is currently the only underground waste disposal facility of the type in existence. This depot for military transuranium waste (TRU in US nomenclature), excavated in a deep-lying salt formation, entered service in 1999.
Defence-related TRU waste is so named because it is from materials that have been contaminated with plutonium. It includes protective clothing: coveralls, gloves, shoe covers, etc. Other sources include, dismantled machine tools, workshop demolition rubble and sludge contaminated with radioactive substances from US nuclear weapon plants.
In order to manufacture the US arsenal of thousands of plutonium-containing nuclear weapons, dozens of tonnes of this heavy transuranium element (thus described due to its position after uranium in the periodic table) were synthesised and then machined. From a radiation protection perspective, plutonium and the other transuranium elements are alpha emitters, and radiotoxic if ingested. They have long half-lives.
Under the French system, the waste at WIPP would be classified as intermediate-level, long-lived waste (ILW-LL). Under federal law, WIPP is not licensed to accept high-level waste or spent nuclear fuel intended for disposal at the Yucca Mountain repository in the Nevada desert.
WIPP is located in a sparsely-populated desert area. Waste is disposed of in salt domes. The salt formations, the top of which lies 305 m below the surface, are 650 m thick. Salt is considered to be a good medium for repositories, as it is free from water. The geology of the salt formations at the WIPP has been stable for 200 million years. The facilities are located 635 m below the surface. They include four shafts and 10 waste disposal areas.
Placing "Remote-handled TRU" waste
More highly radioactive TRU waste requires remote handling and is named accordingly (remote-handled transuranic waste). Special-purpose Horizontal Emplacement and Retrieval Equipment (HERE) is used to push packages into disposal cells excavated into the walls of a disposal cavern.
Placing "contact-handled TRU" waste
The least radioactive TRU waste may be handled with no need for special-purpose equipment. A technician responsible for radiation monitoring keeps a close eye as contact-handled transuranic waste is placed in the depths of the WIPP repository.
Two types of placement are used, depending on the degree of radioactivity of the waste packages concerned. If the level of gamma emissions is high, waste is placed by a remote handling system. If the level is low, waste is placed directly, by "contact handling".
The Department of Energy (DOE), which operates the facility, is licensed to dispose of up to 173,600 m3 of TRU waste from National Defence-related activities. The repository is designed to operate until 2070. By the end of 2005, after six years in operation, the site was 20% full, with no reports of radioactive environmental releases or worker contamination.
Two incidents occurred at the WIPP facility in February 2014, including a truck fire. The US Department of Energy authorized the WIPP restart in late 2016, after confirming the absence of significant impact outside the installation. All necessary corrective measures have been taken, including a safety review. The lessons learned from this event were taken into account in France in the design of the CIGEO project.
Underground facilities
The underground repository facilities are laid out on a plane at a depth of approximately 650 m. Four shafts provide access to the repository: two air intake and venting shafts, one for mining activities and salt raising, and one for waste lowering and management activities.
The National Defence argument undoubtedly played a role in surmounting the many procedural obstacles that had to be overcome before the site opened. Twenty years elapsed (_PHONE_) between the initial license granted for WIPP by Congress and the final operating license issued by the New Mexico Department of the Environment.

I carry around a small notebook (usually a 48 page Field Notes) for short fleeting notes. Later I copy them into my commonplace book/zettelkasten/digital garden and expand upon them.
Waste books were used in the tradition of the commonplace book. A well known example is Isaac Newton's Waste Book (MS Add. 4004) in which he did much of the development of the calculus. Another example is that of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, who called his waste books sudelbücher, and which were known to have influenced Leo Tolstoy, Albert Einstein, Andre Breton, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Edinburg Napier University has developed a biofuel out of whiskey distillery waste. The resultant product is biobutanol. This new biofuel can be used in unmodified ordinary cars. It can be used by itself or blended with gasoline or diesel to create other biofuels to turn everyone's vehicle eco-friendly.
Unlike other biofuels that are made from food based feedstock, Edinburgh Napier's Biofuel Research Centre uses Glenkinchie Distillery waste, "'pot ale', the liquid from the copper stills, and 'draff', the spent grains," for its biobutanol production. The malt whiskey industry "produces 1,600 million litres of pot ale and 187,000 tonnes of draff" per year.
Jim Mather, Minister for Enterprise, Energy and Tourism said: "This innovative use of waste products demonstrates a new sustainable option for the biofuel industry, while also supporting the economic and environmental objectives of the Scottish Government's new Zero Waste Plan. "
The biobutanol produced has a 30 percent higher energy output than ethanol and creates a more powerful fuel than gas. It is also safer to store and less corrosive than ethanol. Unmodified automobiles can run on any gasoline blend using butanol. Cars using ethanol must be modified with the further restriction that ethanol can only be "blended up to 85 percent." Biobutanol can be added to gas or diesel at existing refineries without changes to the equipment, transportation methods or distribution facilities.
Professor Martin Tangney, Director of the Biofuel Research Centre at Edinburgh Napier University describes the center's use of whiskey waste as:
"The EU has declared that biofuels should account for 10% of total fuel sales by 2020. We're committed to finding new, innovative renewable energy sources.
"While some energy companies are growing crops specifically to generate biofuel, we are investigating excess materials such as whisky by-products to develop them.
"This is a more environmentally sustainable option and potentially offers new revenue on the back of one [of] Scotland's biggest industries. We've worked with some of the country's leading whisky producers to develop the process."
Now that the center has developed a process for making biobutanol from whiskey waste, it is now looking to spin off a company to market it commercially. Since gas pumps don't have to be modified to pump biobutanol or a biobutanol blend, the University hopes that it will be an easy sell to existing gas stations.
So raise a glass of single malt and toast Edinburg Napier University for finding yet another reason for the pursuit of fine scotch whiskey!

There are no facts, only interpretations.
- Frederich Nietzsche
When the allegation lacks substance or reality, nothing is required in response.
– Commission of National Inquiry (CoNI)
by Azra Naseem
The idea that an objective truth can exist independent of political power is a myth dating back to Plato. On the contrary, truth and political power are intricately woven together—one cannot exist without the other. Instead of an 'objective truth', what becomes accepted as 'reality' is based on what those in power are willing to include as 'true' and what they exclude as 'false' in what they say and do about a given issue. While such power/truth relations are normally hidden from surface observations and casual scrutiny, the Report of the Commission of National Inquiry, Maldives is a document that blatantly demonstrates how 'truth' is produced in this manner and how the truth so constructed is used to exercise power and control over society.
It is CoNI's conclusion that there was "No coup, no duress, no mutiny" in the Maldives on 7 February 2012. To arrive at this 'truth', the CoNI Report excludes all information it regards as false and includes only what it deems true according to preconceived notions and beliefs. "When the allegation lacks substance or reality", it states, "nothing is required in response." How CoNI decided what 'lacks substance or reality' and, therefore, can be dismissed as not worthy of a response, is not explained. It is an arbitrary measurement, composed and set up by the Commission according to a standard that itself decided on, and which it decided not to make public.
Some statements contained in the report, however, do provide an indication as to the criteria used by CoNI to decide which of the 293 witnesses it interviewed were telling the truth, and which of them were judged as simply repeating 'hearsay' or enthusiastically relaying fantasies of a confused mind susceptible to suggestion.
Take, for example, the following statement:
Just as a question has no evidential value unless the person answering accepts or adopts the fact contained in the question, allegations have no evidential value just because someone has articulated them repeatedly.
What does this confused and confusing statement mean? If a question is being asked in order to establish the facts of an event, why then does the question itself contain a fact that the answer must first accept for it to be considered valid? Is CoNI saying that a decision was made from the very beginning to exclude as invalid all the answers that did not first accept 'the fact'—as stated in CoNI's findings—that 'there was no coup'?
How much evidence was excluded on this basis? Is this the grounds on which the evidence of Nasheed's wife, Laila, for instance, was given no consideration by CoNI? In an investigation of the validity of Nasheed's claim that he resigned under duress, fearful not just of a public bloodbath but also for the safety of himself and his family, would the evidence of his wife not be essential to verifying his explanation?
It is not just Laila's evidence that seems to have no place in CoNI's deliberations. Although one of the appendices to the report provides a list of 49 pieces of documentary evidence submitted by various witnesses, there are only seven such documents it refers to as having 'comprehensively reviewed by the Commission'.
Of these, what it relied on most was its own Timeline, published on 6 June 2012, over two months before it completed its deliberations. [The English translation of the Timeline published on the CoNI website on its official letterhead was copied verbatim—except for an occasional substitution of a word here and there—from Dhivehi Sitee with neither permission nor acknowledgement, or shame for that matter.]
According to the CoNI Report this Timeline, published prior to interviewing some of the most important witnesses to the events of 7 February, was the truest document of them all. There was nothing anybody could say to challenge its version of events, for it contained CoNI's 'truth'.
It must be noted also that despite the many alternative scenarios which have been produced internally and internationally, there has been virtually no challenge of any substance to what was recorded in the Timeline.
Indeed. Not when all evidence that was excluded from the Timeline remained excluded as unworthy of inclusion.
This is an analysis of some of the most blatant exclusions of fact the CoNI Report relied upon to construct a particular 'truth' about the events of 7th February 2012. It is part one in a series of in-depth analyses of the CoNI Report which, if accepted in its current form as 'what really happened' in the Maldives on that day, renders the 2008 Constitution of the Maldives meaningless and creates the conditions in which the illegal overthrow of a government can be deemed legal.
Exclusions that made CoNI's 'truth' possible
The role of the judiciary
Crucial to the events leading to the downfall of the first democratically elected government of the Maldives is its judiciary. In 2010, authoritarian loyalists within the Judicial Service Commission—the independent body set up by the first democratic Constitution of 2008 to monitor judicial independence and ethical/professional standards of judges—conspired successfully to declare parts of the Constitution irrelevant. Article 258 required that by 7 August 2010 all individuals on the bench should possess particular standards of education and moral standing.
Authoritarian loyalists, determined since the beginning of the transition to democracy to prevent its consolidation [as Umar Naseer said], have sought to control the judiciary as part of its plan to derail the democratic project. Dismissing Article 285 as 'symbolic' allowed individuals to sit on the bench who had not only shockingly low levels of education (some are primary school drop-outs) and possessed long criminal records, but are also of disgustingly low moral character.
Given that CoNI regarded Nasheed's decision to arrest Abdulla Mohamed, Chief Judge of the Criminal Court, as the catalyst of the events of 7th February, how objective is a truth that dismisses as irrelevant clear relations between the dismissal of Article 285 as 'symbolic', Abdulla Mohamed, and President Nasheed's decision to forcibly remove him from the bench? This is evidence made available to CoNI in Velezinee's witness statement and in the Nasheed government's Dossier on the Maldivian Judiciary 'considered comprehensively' by CoNI.
When CoNI says Abdulla Mohamed was arrested because he 'made a decision which deeply displeased President Nasheed and the MDP stalwarts', it is providing a version of 'truth' that deliberately excludes the crucial information that Abdulla Mohamed is a criminal who is on the bench by dint of an oath administered to him unconstitutionally through the secret machinations of a group of authoritarian loyalists.
Abdulla Mohamed's moral character is in serious doubt, having reportedly ordered two child witnesses in a sexual offence case to re-enact the alleged abuse, in open court and in front of the accused (See complaint filed against Abdulla Mohamed by Dr Hassan Saeed, currently Special Advisor to the president). Abdulla Mohamed also freed a murder suspect to 'teach the Health Minister a lesson' (See also The Failed Silent Coup, Aishath Velezinee, p.86).
Within three hours, the freed prisoner had killed again. When the Judicial Service Commission found him guilty of political partisanship and thus of judicial misconduct, the Civil Court overruled JSC, the oversight body appointed by the Constitution to keep the courts in check. The Majlis, the only remaining power with the authority to supervise the Judicial Service Commission, failed to do so.
Anybody considering 'the objective truth' about President Nasheed's decision to arrest Judge Abdulla Mohamed must necessarily consider the context in which it occurred. CoNI did the opposite. Its Report takes Abdulla Mohamed's arrest as entirely separate from all facts surrounding it bar those relating to actions taken by the President. To do so, it falsely claims that all evidence submitted to CoNI 'about the unconditional behaviour of Judge Abdulla' were submitted only by 'MDP members', then dismisses it all as beyond the Commission's mandate and thus irrelevant.
It is the exclusion of evidence against Abdulla Mohamed—which explained Nasheed's decision to arrest the man—that allows CoNI to offer as 'the objective truth' Abdulla Mohamed's detention as the actions of a man willing to hold the country's Constitution as ransom for his personal pleasure. All action that followed could thus be explained as 'reactions' to this unreasonable and 'unlawful' act.
Islamists' incitement of hatred
It was not only the role of the judiciary in the events leading to 7 February 2012 that CoNI excluded from its deliberations. The vital role, led by Sheikh Imran Abdulla, that Islamists played in inciting public hatred against President Nasheed, indispensable for facilitating the day's events unfold in the manner it did, is also missing from the 'objective truth' CoNI presents.
This is information necessary for understanding why military officers were marching on the streets of Male', beating their chests in unison and shouting 'God is Great!' in defiance of their Commander in Chief. The Islamists' (and leading opposition politicians') labelling of Nasheed as a heretic, and their call to an imagined Maldivian Ummah to rise up in Jihad against him is well documented in the media. Much of it was, in fact, telecast live on VTV, DhiTV and, later, on the illegally seized and renamed state-broadcaster 'TVM'.

The ACME Database
In this Lesson
You will
 - Learn about the ACME database that will be used in future lessons
 - Create a Soiree connection to the ACME database
 - Create a DBeaver connection to the ACME database
Concepts
The ACME database is a separate database designed to serve a single tenant – the ACME Party Planning Agency. It contains a single table named PartyTheme which is defined as follows:
Any Database
The ACME database could exist in any one of the 6 database servers supported by Soiree. We are using Derby simply as a matter of convenience since the Derby database server is already set up. The information could also be stored in a spreadsheet or text file instead of a database – those would be a sad approach but they would work.
When an ACME customer is adding a party to the DEMO.Party table the solution will be required to capture a party theme and store it in this table.
Create a database connection
In this exercise you will create a Soiree database connection for the ACME database.
 1. Select the com.example.party.connection package and then open the Database Connection Wizard.
 2. Create a connection named Acme as shown here
 3. Configure the connection as follows
 4. Save the item
 5. Test the connection
Configure DBeaver
In this exercise you will configure DBeaver to access the ACME database.
 1. In Eclipse, switch to the DBeaver perspective
 2. Select the New Connection button
 3. Select Derby … Server
 4. Enter the connection settings
 Database: acme
 User name: PROD
 Password: acme
 5. Test the connection
 6. Keep pressing Next or Finish until the connection wizard closes.
 7. Right click on the acme connection and select SQL Editor
 8. Enter the following SQL statement and then run the script
 select * from PartyTheme
 The query result will return zero rows
You are now ready to use the ACME database.

Building Great Soil (page 5 of 5)
by Warren Schultz
Home Soil Audit
Bill Wolf, president of the board of directors of the Organic Materials Review Institute, suggests gardeners audit their soil like this: In spring, while soil is moist and warm (at least 55°F), find an area of the garden where the ground is covered by mulch or green manure, and dig up a chunk 1 foot square by 6 inches deep. Place the soil on a piece of wood or cardboard, and count the earthworms in the mass of soil. If you find 10 or more earthworms, your soil has good fertility.

SLOSH (Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) is a computerized model run by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to estimate storm surge heights and winds resulting from historical, hypothetical, or predicted hurricanes by taking into account pressure, size, forward speed, track and winds.
Graphical output (124kb or 348kb) from the model displays color coded storm surge heights for a particular area in feet above the model's reference level, the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD), which is the elevation reference for most maps.
The calculations are applied to a specific locale's shoreline, incorporating the unique bay and river configurations, water depths, bridges, roads and other physical features. If the model is being used to estimate storm surge from a predicted hurricane (as opposed to a hypothetical one), forecast data must be put in the model every 6 hours over a 72-hour period and updated as new forecasts become available.
The SLOSH model is generally accurate within plus or minus 20 percent. For example, if the model calculates a peak 10 foot storm surge for the event, you can expect the observed peak to range from 8 to 12 feet. The model accounts for astronomical tides (which can add significantly to the water height) by specifying an initial tide level, but does not include rainfall amounts, riverflow, or wind-driven waves. However, this information is combined with the model results in the final analysis of at-risk-areas.
The point of a hurricane's landfall is crucial to determining which areas will be inundated by the storm surge. Where the hurricane forecast track is inaccurate, SLOSH model results will be inaccurate. The SLOSH model, therefore, is best used for defining the potential maximum surge for a location.

The badminton court is rectangular in shape, and has different dimensions for singles and doubles.
The full doubles court has a measurement of 13.4m (44′ 0″) by 6.1m (20'0″):
The badminton net goes across the middle and is 1.52m (5′ 0″) high at the middle and 1.55m (5'1″) high at the posts.
The net is made of dark fine cord and is 76cm (2'6″) in depth.
The line that you must stand behind when you serve is called the short service line and it is 1.98m (6′ 6″) from the net.
Singles court measurement
The singles court only makes use of the shaded area:
The area not shaded above is called the 'tramlines'.
In singles the long service line is the very back line of the court, parallel to the net. In doubles this is the line 76cm (2′ 6″) nearer the net. The area between these two lines in called the back tramlines.
The line perpendicular to the net that bisects the court is called the centre line, and the outer edges of the side tramlines are called the sidelines.
Each line is part of the court, so that if the base of the shuttle touches any part of a line, it is considered as being 'in', ie having landed within the area of the court.
The lines need to be easily distinguishable, usually white or yellow in colour.
They are 4cm (1.5″) wide.
Sometimes you will find two short lines either side of the long service line for doubles. These are what the shuttle should land between when being tested from the opposing back line.
