English lesbian, gay and bisexual teens first consider their sexuality at 13 years old, but don't tell anyone else until they are on average two years older.
Four out of five young people tell their friends first and three quarters say that they needed emotional support to come out.
The findings, published today (15 February), are part of an interim report of Metro's Youth Chances project, a five year social study of over 6,000 LGBT youth and their needs.
The study also found that the great majority (80%) of respondents to the Youth Chances survey who identified as lesbian or gay, bisexual or questioning said the first person they told they were gay was a friend.
Nearly three quarters (70%) of respondents to the survey who identified as lesbian or gay, bisexual or questioning said they needed emotional support from someone when they came out.
Commenting on the results, Dan Baker, Metro Youth Chances Project Manager, said: 'These findings reveal some key milestones for young people coming out in the 21st century.
'It is a measure of the progress of LGBT visibility and equality that over half of young people in this generation have come out by the age of 16.
'All the more important is that parents and the wider family, friends, schools, colleges, youth organisations and health services recognise that the majority of young people coming out are saying they need emotional support at this time.'
Metro's Youth Chances will continue collecting responses right up until 21 March when it will begin in depth analysis of what support is most effective for young people.
Anyone aged 16 to 25 years old can complete the survey (including heterosexual young people) by clicking on this link. Everyone submitting their answers will be entered into a prize draw to win £500.


Variable width histogram aggregationedit
This functionality is experimental and may be changed or removed completely in a future release. Elastic will take a best effort approach to fix any issues, but experimental features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features. We're evaluating the request and response format for this new aggregation. For feature status, see #58573.
This is a multi-bucket aggregation similar to Histogram. However, the width of each bucket is not specified. Rather, a target number of buckets is provided and bucket intervals are dynamically determined based on the document distribution. This is done using a simple one-pass document clustering algorithm that aims to obtain low distances between bucket centroids. Unlike other multi-bucket aggregations, the intervals will not necessarily have a uniform width.
The number of buckets returned will always be less than or equal to the target number.

This aggregation cannot currently be nested under any aggregation that collects from more than a single bucket.
Clustering Algorithmedit
Each shard fetches the first initial_buffer documents and stores them in memory. Once the buffer is full, these documents are sorted and linearly separated into 3/4 * shard_size buckets. Next each remaining documents is either collected into the nearest bucket, or placed into a new bucket if it is distant from all the existing ones. At most shard_size total buckets are created.
In the reduce step, the coordinating node sorts the buckets from all shards by their centroids. Then, the two buckets with the nearest centroids are repeatedly merged until the target number of buckets is achieved. This merging procedure is a form of agglomerative hierarchical clustering.
A shard can return fewer than shard_size buckets, but it cannot return more.
Shard sizeedit
The shard_size parameter specifies the number of buckets that the coordinating node will request from each shard. A higher shard_size leads each shard to produce smaller buckets. This reduce the likelihood of buckets overlapping after the reduction step. Increasing the shard_size will improve the accuracy of the histogram, but it will also make it more expensive to compute the final result because bigger priority queues will have to be managed on a shard level, and the data transfers between the nodes and the client will be larger.
Parameters buckets, shard_size, and initial_buffer are optional. By default, buckets = 10, shard_size = buckets * 50, and initial_buffer = min(10 * shard_size, 50000).
Initial Bufferedit
The initial_buffer parameter can be used to specify the number of individual documents that will be stored in memory on a shard before the initial bucketing algorithm is run. Bucket distribution is determined using this sample of initial_buffer documents. So, although a higher initial_buffer will use more memory, it will lead to more representative clusters.
Bucket bounds are approximateedit
During the reduce step, the master node continuously merges the two buckets with the nearest centroids. If two buckets have overlapping bounds but distant centroids, then it is possible that they will not be merged. Because of this, after reduction the maximum value in some interval (max) might be greater than the minimum value in the subsequent bucket (min). To reduce the impact of this error, when such an overlap occurs the bound between these intervals is adjusted to be (max + min) / 2.
Bucket bounds are very sensitive to outliers

Gail Louw's dazzling play 'Blonde Poison' returns after phenomenal success with audiences at Brotfabrik in 2018. It's based on the true story of a woman in Nazi Berlin who betrayed others in order to save her family. Complex and morally ambiguous, 'Blonde Poison' doesn't try and provide easy answers - it poses questions which are still relevant today. It's gripping theatre.
Audiences said about Robert Chevara's production: 'absolutely mesmerizing', morally complex, intriguing and disturbing', 'superbly acted by the stunningly brave Dulcie Smart'...
Stella Goldschlag was blonde and blue-eyed and identified as German – but her parents were Jewish, and like millions of other Jews across 1930's Europe, the teenage Stella was labeled an 'Untermensch', subhuman. She was persecuted, imprisoned, tortured. Eventually the Gestapo offered her a deal, if she turned in other Jews, they would take her family's names off the list for Auschwitz. What would we have done?
In 'Blonde Poison', the older Stella waits for the arrival of a journalist. She looks back on her crimes in a final effort to explain her actions and heal her relationship with her daughter. Memory is interwoven with lies and false memories in a thrilling, moving drama.
Playwright Gail Louw is South-African/British with Jewish roots. Her maternal grandparents were deported from Berlin and murdered in Minsk in 1942. Gail's mother escaped - at the age of 14, she joined her older sister and an aunt in Palestine (later Israel).

"Superb theatre not only because it is crafted so perfectly but also because for days after the show it will leave your heart and mind talking to each other."
Ismail Mohammed, CEO Market Theatre, Johannesburg, South Africa
Writer Gail Louw is an award-winning British playwright of Jewish descent. Her grandparents were deported from Berlin to Minsk in 1942, where they were murdered by the Nazis. Her mother and aunt escaped to Israel (then Palestine) as young girls.
Director Robert Chevara is an award-winning theatre and opera director, known in the UK and the US for his startling, controversial, passionate work. This year his productions of Philip Ridley's 'Vincent River' and Alexis Gregory's 'Sex/Crime' received huge critical acclaim in the London press.
Actor Dulcie Smart a leading stage actor from New Zealand, who works in international film and television from her home in Berlin. She is also one of Germany's top English-language voice artists, narrating documentary films and audioguides for museums across Europe.

unbounded in infinite volume. In any finite volume, the integral is replaced by a discrete sum, and the variance of the integral is V/k^2.
Monte-Carlo [edit]
The path integral defines a probabilistic algorithm to generate a Euclidean scalar field configuration. Randomly pick the real and imaginary parts of each Fourier mode at wavenumber k to be a gaussian random variable with variance 1/k^2. This generates a configuration \,\phi_C(k) at random, and the Fourier transform gives \,\phi_C(x). For real scalar fields, the algorithm must generate only one of each pair \,\phi(k),\phi(-k), and make the second the complex conjugate of the first.
To find any correlation function, generate a field again and again by this procedure, and find the statistical average:
 \langle \phi(x_1) ... \phi(x_n) \rangle = \lim_{|C|\rightarrow\infty}{ \sum_C \phi_C(x_1) ... \phi_C(x_n) \over |C| }
where |C| is the number of configurations, and the sum is of the product of the field values on each configuration. The Euclidean correlation function is just the same as the correlation function in statistics or statistical mechanics. The quantum mechanical correlation functions are an analytic continuation of the Euclidean correlation functions.
For free fields with a quadratic action, the probability distribution is a high-dimensional Gaussian, and the statistical average is given by an explicit formula. But the Monte Carlo method also works well for bosonic interacting field theories where there is no closed form for the correlation functions.
Scalar propagator [edit]
Each mode is independently Gaussian distributed. The expectation of field modes is easy to calculate:
 \langle \phi_k \phi_{k'}\rangle = 0 \,
for k\ne k', since then the two Gaussian random variables are independent and both have zero mean.
 \langle\phi_k \phi_k \rangle = {V \over k^2}
in finite volume V, when the two k-values coincide, since this is the variance of the Gaussian. In the infinite volume limit,
 \langle\phi(k) \phi(k')\rangle = \delta(k-k') {1\over k^2}
Strictly speaking, this is an approximation: the lattice propagator is:
\langle\phi(k) \phi(k')\rangle = \delta(k-k') {1\over 2(d - \cos(k_1) + \cos(k_2) ... + \cos(k_d)) }
But near k=0, for field fluctuations long compared to the lattice spacing, the two forms coincide.
It is important to emphasize that the delta functions contain factors of 2\pi, so that they cancel out the 2\pi factors in the measure for k integrals.
\delta(k) = (2\pi)^d \delta_D(k_1)\delta_D(k_2) ... \delta_D(k_d) \,
where \delta_D(k) is the ordinary one-dimensional Dirac delta function. This convention for delta-functions is not universal—some authors keep the factors of 2\pi in the delta functions (and in the k-integration) explicit.
Equation of motion [edit]
The form of the propagator can be more easily found by using the equation of motion for the field. From the Lagrangian, the equation of motion is:
 \partial_\mu \partial^\mu \phi = 0\,
and in an expectation value, this says:
\partial_\mu\partial^\mu \langle \phi(x) \phi(y)\rangle =0
Where the derivatives act on x, and the identity is true everywhere except when x and y coincide, and the operator order matters. The form of the singularity can be understood from the canonical commutation relations to be a delta-function. Defining the (euclidean) Feynman propagator \Delta as the Fourier transform of the time-ordered two-point function (the one that comes from the path-integral):
 \partial^2 \Delta (x) = i\delta(x)\,
So that:
 \Delta(k) = {i\over k^2}
If the equations of motion are linear, the propagator will always be the reciprocal of the quadratic-form matrix that defines the free Lagrangian, since this gives the equations of motion. This is also easy to see directly from the Path integral. The factor of i disappears in the Euclidean theory.
Wick theorem [edit]
Because each field mode is an independent Gaussian, the expectation values for the product of many field modes obeys Wick's theorem:
 \langle \phi(k_1) \phi(k_2) ... \phi(k_n)\rangle
is zero unless the field modes coincide in pairs. This means that it is zero for an odd number of \phi's, and for an even number of phi's, it is equal to a contribution from each pair separately, with a delta function.
\langle \phi(k_1) ... \phi(k_{2n})\rangle = \sum \prod_{i,j} {\delta(k_i - k_j) \over k_i^2 }
where the sum is over each partition of the field modes into pairs, and the product is over the pairs. For example,
 \langle \phi(k_1) \phi(k_2) \phi(k_3) \phi(k_4) \rangle = {\delta(k_1 -k_2) \over k_1^2}{\delta(k_3-k_4)\over k_3^2} + {\delta(k_1-k_3) \over k_3^2}{\delta(k_2-k_4)\over k_2^2} + {\delta(k_1-k_4)\over k_1^2}{\delta(k_2 -k_3)\over k_2^2}
An interpretation of Wick's theorem is that each field insertion can be thought of as a dangling line, and the expectation value is calculated by linking up the lines in pairs, putting a delta function factor that ensures that the momentum of each partner in the pair is equal, and dividing by the propagator.
Higher Gaussian moments—completing Wick's theorem [edit]
There is a subtle point left before Wick's theorem is proved—what if more than two of the phi's have the same momentum? If its an odd number, the integral is zero, negative values cancel with the positive values, But if the number is even, the integral is positive. The previous demonstration assumed that the phi's would only match up in pairs.
But the theorem is correct even when arbitrarily many of the phis are equal, and this is a notable property of Gaussian integration:
 I = \int e^{-ax^2/2} = \sqrt{2\pi\over a}
 {\partial^n \over \partial a^n } I = \int {x^{2n} \over 2^n} e^{-ax^2/2} = {1\cdot 3 \cdot 5 ... \cdot (2n-1) \over 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 ... \;\;\;\;\;\cdot 2\;\;\;\;\;\;} \sqrt{2\pi} a^{-{2n+1\over2}}
Dividing by I,
 \langle x^{2n}\rangle={\int x^{2n} e^{-a x^2/2} \over \int e^{-a x^2/2} } = 1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 ... \cdot (2n-1) {1\over a^n}
 \langle x^2 \rangle = {1\over a}
If Wick's theorem were correct, the higher moments would be given by all possible pairings of a list of 2n x's:
 \langle x_1 x_2 x_3 ... x_{2n} \rangle
where the x's are all the same variable, the index is just to keep track of the number of ways to pair them. The first x can be paired with 2n−1 others, leaving 2n−2. The next unpaired x can be paired with 2n-3 different x's leaving 2n−4, and so on. This means that Wick's theorem, uncorrected, says that the expectation value of x^{2n} should be:
 \langle x^

Bizarre Foods in Spain
V. L. Hamlin, Leaf Group
Many countries serve up foods that people from other areas may not consider edible, let alone to be gastronomical delights. Spaniards enjoy certain oddities and even offer them on menus of eateries throughout the country. Outside of Spain, some such foods, like animal organs, generally go into the trash, while other items are ignored.
Chefs prepare angulas--baby eels only a few weeks old--by first skinning, then frying or sauteing them. Angulas appear on restaurant menus in salads, with pasta or even alone in a vinaigrette marinade.
Criadillas, also known as bull fries, are made floured and breaded bull testicles, fried and served with a spicy wine sauce. Occasionally, criadillas contain testicles of other animals, such as pigs. Some in Spain suggest that eating the testicles of prized bulls boosts the eater's bravery and masculinity.
Pulpo de Gallego
Pulpo de Gallego, Galician octopus, is usually frozen before cooking to get rid of the rubbery texture. The chef then boils the meat in the same manner as other seafood, and usually serves it with boiled or roasted potatoes.
Rabo de Toro
Rabo de Toro, a dish said to have originated in Cordoba, originally consisted of the tail of a bull, cooked just as you would a prepare a stew--boiled with onions, vegetables, tomatoes and stock as well as spices and a bit of wine. However, because it's become difficult to find the tail of a bull, oxtail (a tail of a cow) often substitutes for the bull tail.

Swarming Up A Storm: Why Animals School And Flock
Originally published on Fri August 17, 2012 11:06 am
By tricking live fish into attacking computer-generated "prey," scientists have learned that animals like birds and fish may indeed have evolved to swarm together to protect themselves from the threat of predators.
"Effectively, what we're doing here is we're getting predatory fish to play a video game," says Iain Couzin, who studies collective animal behavior at Princeton University. "And through playing that game, through seeing which virtual prey items they attack, we can get a very deep understanding of as to how behavioral interactions among prey affect their survival."
It has long been assumed that the schooling behavior of fish and the flocking behavior of birds evolved in part because it helps protect individuals from being attacked by predators, says Couzin. "But in actual fact there is surprisingly little direct evidence."
That's because it's been hard to come up with experiments that could test how different kinds of group behavior affect predation risk. "It is very hard to manipulate the behavior of, say, a bird flock and then see what effect it has on a falcon. That's virtually impossible," says Christos Ioannou at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom.
Together with colleague Vishwesha Guttal, they decided to see if they could create a virtual population of pretend fish that would look convincingly real to a predator.
The predator they selected was the bluegill sunfish. They went to a local lake with nets, collected a bunch of them, and took the fish back to the lab.
"The nice thing about bluegill sunfish is they're generalist predators. They will tend to hunt pretty much anything that's alive and in the environment that's smaller than them," says Couzin. "And so we don't need to train them to attack our virtual prey."
The prey were little dots of light projected onto a transparent film on the inside of the tank. On the computer screen, the dots look red, but the projected images look white or slightly pink. "To the fish they look very much like little zooplankton, little creatures that live in the water body that move around, that we know group together in the natural environment," says Couzin.
The predatory fish would hover near a dot, and then strike — only to get a mouthful of nothing.
The computer-generated prey items were each programmed to follow a different set of rules for behavior. For example, some were strongly attracted to others and wanted to be close to them. Others preferred to go off on their own. And others would match their direction of travel with whoever was nearby.
The researchers kept track of which individuals got attacked, and programmed the system so that those individuals' behaviors were less likely to be transmitted to the next generation of prey. "And so we could actually allow our virtual population to evolve the strategies that best avoid being attacked by real predators," says Couzin.
What they learned is that in response to the attacks, the virtual prey spontaneously formed groups that not only aggregate but move together.
"I think it's the first evidence that this coordinated behavior we see in bird flocks and fish schools, where individuals are really highly coordinated in the direction they're heading, has an anti-predatory effect," says Ioannou. "To our knowledge that's the first time it's been done in a really clear, experimental way."
The results are published in the journal Science.
Couzin says that his lab is continuing to develop the technology to do more sophisticated tests. They're adding a new projection system that allows the virtual prey to appear to move in three dimensions, and an eye-tracking technology for the fish that would give the virtual prey some real-time information about the predator's intentions.
"These prey can now respond to the predator, they can now avoid the predator," says Couzin, "and so we've really taken this technology much, much further, allowing us to continue exploring this integration of the real and the virtual worlds."

Animals - fish, birds, mammals, often congregate in huge groups that move together. No one really knows why. But it's long been thought that gathering in these flocks, schools and herds help protect animals from being eaten by predators.
NPR's Nell Greenfieldboyce reports scientists recently tested that idea by essentially getting fish to play a video game.
NELL GREENFIELDBOYCE, BYLINE: The fish who unwittingly played this video game were not the ones being chased but rather the big bad predators. They were bluegill sunfish that researchers caught in a local lake and brought back to a tank in the lab.
IAIN COUZIN: And the nice thing about bluegill sunfish is they're generalist predators. They all tend to hunt pretty much anything that's alive in the environment that's smaller than them.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Iain Couzin studies animal behavior at Princeton University. He says these fish are such eager hunters that it turns out they'll even hunt something that isn't real. His team used a computer to create fake prey, little images that were projected onto a thin transparent film inside the fish tank.
COUZIN: So to us they look like little red dots moving around. To the fish they look very much like little zooplankton, little creatures that live in the water body that move around that we know group together in the natural environment.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: And animal groups are what Couzin wants to understand.
COUZIN: Why do we see the evolution of groups in nature? Why is grouping so ubiquitous?
GREENFIELDBOYCE: He says there are real questions about how animals evolve to form groups and coordinate their behavior.
COUZIN: And this has actually been almost impossible to address using conventional biological experiments.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: Because it would be very hard to take say, a bird flock and get each one to do different things to see how that might effect their chance of being eaten by a predator.
But he and his colleagues could manipulate the behavior of the computer-generated prey in the fish tank. They programmed each little dot to follow a different set of rules. For example, some dots would cozy up to other dots, others kept their distance. Some would start to travel in the same direction as their neighbors; others, not so much.
COUZIN: And then we would ask, which of these strategies is most successful at avoiding being attacked by our real predators?
GREENFIELDBOYCE: They did that by watching to see which dots the live fish went for. The dots that survived tended to be the ones that both stayed close and moved in concert with their neighbors.
COUZIN: And so, forming groups that not only aggregate, but actually move together, allows you to minimize risk of attack from real predators.
GREENFIELDBOYCE: The results were published online by the journal Science.
Couzin says this is some evidence that group behaviors can evolve as a response to predation. But this experiment is still far from what happens in the real world. He's already developing a new fish video game that's even more life-like. This time they'll see what happens when the bluegill sunfish see virtual prey that can move in 3-D and try to escape.

HISTORICAL BASE MAPS
ANNOTATIONS FOR HISTORICAL BASE MAP 3
This map represents the Samuel and Elizabeth Pipher farm prior to their selling the property to the New York and Delaware River Slate Company. Extensive research in local and county records and documents, and secondary sources has not provided adequate data to make a definitive determination about the number, exact locations (in most instances), or precise dimensions or appearances of several structures and other cultural resources at the Pipher farm during that family's three generations of ownership from 1790 to 1868. The location of the main house, springhouse and cabin are known as they are extant. The barn foundations are extant, but the appearance of the barn is not known. A granary was mentioned in the 1868 deed of sale, but its exact location is not known. An historic privy is assumed to be located somewhere near the main house, but its exact location is not known. An orchard was located on the farm, but its exact location and total acreage is not known. Extant ruins of a lime kiln mark that structure's precise location. The exact configuration of the historic fields is not known, but the historic stone rows delineate partial farm boundaries and fields. The entrance road to the central farm core is believed to be historic, but its precise configuration is not known.
ANNOTATIONS FOR HISTORICAL BASE MAP 4
A. Cabin built c. _PHONE_ by Samuel Pipher. This structure was renovated in 1873, altered by Charles M. Munsch and stabilized by the National Park Service in 1979. Much of the work performed in 1979 reversed Munsch's alterations. The work included: roof repairs, repointing of stone chimney and foundation walls, rebuilding of brick chimney, removal of imitation log siding, repair of entrance hood, replacement of sills, studs, doors and windows, removal of concrete bathroom and entrance slabs, and drainage grading.
B. Springhouse This stone structure was built in 1827 by Peter Pipher. The springhouse underwent structural change when concrete was poured on the floors and milk can troughs, and the upper roof structure was replaced.
C. Main House The main farmhouse was built in 1833 by Peter Pipher. A slate roof, direct access to the northwest bedroom, and an outside door to the northwest first floor room were added in 1873. Buff-colored cement stucco was added by Charles M. Munsch. Portions of the front and side porch were screened in 1969.
D. Old Barn Site Reference to the barn was made in 1868 when Samuel and Elizabeth Pipher sold the farm to the New York and Delaware River Slate Company. Reference was also made to a granary being somewhere on the property. A concrete roof was placed over the remnant stone walls by Charles M. Munsch, who then used the structure as a garage. He used salvaged iron rails, possibly from a nearby quarry, to support the concrete roof.
E. Quarry The New York and Delaware River Slate Company opened and operated this quarry near the core farmstead from _PHONE_. Subsequent farm owner John A. Morison paid taxes on the quarry until 1879. A much smaller quarry/pond is also on the property. It is shallowly flooded over a sediment fill, and was dammed for domestic water supply. This excavation's history is not known.
F. Woodshed This structure was built in the late nineteenth century, possibly by John A. Morison.
G. Slate Shanty Omega G. East, chief of interpretation at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, purchased the shanty in Bangor, Pennsylvania and placed it on the property in the early 1970s.
H. Ice House Only the foundations exist for this wood frame structure, built by Charles M. Munsch sometime after 1924. The ice house had a gable roof and the walls were covered with horizontal slabbing with vertical slabs in each corner and in the gable ends.
I. Outhouse This structure was brought onto the property by Omega East sometime in the 1970s. The location of the historic outhouse is not known, but in 1970 Mary Pitenger remembered an outhouse being located between the woodhouse and springhouse.
J. Lime Kiln Remnants of a stone lime kiln are located in the woods behind the main house. It is probable that the kiln dates to the Pipher family occupancy, and may have been used as late as the Munsch ownership.
K. Stone Rows Extensive stone pile rows mark partial boundaries of the Peter Pipher farm, and probably date to that period. The rows also delineate boundaries of fields.
L. Fields The exact location of all the fields utilized by the Piphers and subsequent Slateford Farm owners is not known, but the stone rows do mark several boundaries. Photographs taken during the Munsch occupancy of the farm reveal that many of these fields located between the main farm house and the Cyr farmstead were open and farmed.
M. Cyr Farmstead Charles M. Munsch built the farmhouse, which became the home of the Louis and Lottie Cyr family who tenant-farmed Slateford Farm. The farmstead includes the main house, storage shed, chicken coops, small frame storage building, corn cribs, barn and garage. The Cyr house has no architectural significance.
N. Kiefaber House This house was built c. 1925 by Fred W. Kiefaber. There are no outbuildings and the house has no architectural or historical significance.
Other features extant or no longer extant on the Slateford Farm site:
1. Entrance Road to the farm core area This gravel road, approaching the main farm house from the southeast, may be the historic entrance to the farm. The Piphers may have used it to reach a wagon road located next to the Delaware River. In summer 1985 NPS archeologists found probable nineteenth century terracing and a road bed with an intact stone culvert, located downhill of the barn foundations.
2. Double Mining Cart and Rails This iron and wood cart was brought onto the property by National Park Service staff, as were the iron rails. The cart is rapidly deteriorating, being openly exposed to the weather. The rails are strewn along a path to the north of the slate shanty.
3. Garden In 1970 Mary Pittenger mentioned a garden being located in the yard to the southwest of the main house, between the house and the barn.
4. Corral This structure, located in front of the main house and extending to the garage, was built by the Youth Conservation Corps in _PHONE_.
5. National Park Service Road This road was built in 1970.
6. Tower Foundations Four footings of concrete are all that remain of this structure, which perhaps was a radio tower.
7. Woodhouse The location of this woodhouse, mentioned by Mary Pittenger in 1970 and presumed a different structure from the extant woodshed, is not known. Pittenger stated there used to be a woodshed and wood pile to the right, or northeast, of the main house.
8. Chicken House The existence of a chicken house was mentioned by Mary Pittenger in 1970. It stood between the woodhouse and the spring house.
9. Barn Outhouse This outhouse was mentioned in Mary Pittenger's 1970 interview. Its exact location is not known.
10. Slate Walks These walks were mentioned in Mary Pittenger's 1970 interview. She remembered a slate walk leading from the main house yard to the barn. Other walks led to the spring house, cabin and woodhouse. Remnants of a slate walk are located behind the main house.
11. Tennis Courts Charles M. Munsch built tennis courts behind the main house. Their exact location is not known and no visible remnants exist.
12. Main House Yard Fence This fence was mentioned by Mary Pittenger in an 1970 interview. No remnants are visible.
l3. Swimming Pool In summer 1985 NPS archeologists discovered a stone foundation east of the barn foundations which may be a remnant of a reputed Charles M. Munsch swimming pool.
14 Apple Orchard An apple orchard was mentioned in Samuel Pipher's 1812 will, but its location is not known. Mary Pittenger remembered an apple orchard being located by the garden towards the mountain.
15. Slate and Stone Benches Two benches are located underneath the tree next to the main house. Their origin is not known.

Eco-Match Eco-Match is a match three game using the mouse. On each puzzle, you must clear fifty of a certain tile picture, be it penguins, cell phones, nuclear waste symbols, etc.. Some puzzles require you to clear fifty of more than one type of tile. On some puzzles, you may have Eco-zones, in red or blue, that must also be cleared. The red zones become blue when you make a match of three or more that includes that tile. The blue zones are cleared when you make a match over them. Some puzzles have locked tiles. To unlock them, match them with two or more other of the same tiles. You cannot move locked tiles, however.
The puzzles come in three matching styles. The first is a simple swap style. You simply click a tile then click another nest to it. The tiles will swap, forming a row of three or more of the same tiles. In the second type, you have a symbol on your cursor. Your must point to a spot that will make a three or more match and click. You will them swap the symbol you were carrying for the one that was on the board. In the last type, you just click any group of three or more of the same tiles. They can be in a straight row or a cluster. As you go about the game, you can get power-ups to help you. These may include the ability to clear one tile or a small cluster of tiles. After you complete enough puzzles, you can purchase a project such as an animal refuge. When the project is constructed, you can click on it to purchase power-ups. [source:mobygames]

The Diversion Canal, constructed in 1977, borders the Laurel Hill Wildlife Drive starting just past the 2 Mile marker. It was built to ensure a reliable source of fresh water for the refuge as deepening of the Savannah River caused tidal salt water incursion from the Atlantic Ocean further upstream. The water you see in the impoundments was brought in via this canal. The upstream end of the canal provided fresh water at all tides.
The nine mile canal was part of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project to mitigate incursion of brackish water into the refuge created by the construction of a a tide gate in the Savannah River as part of a harbor channel maintenance plan.
Hurricane Irma in 2017 caused a blow-out around the water control structure, making it impossible to control the water level in the canal and turning the fresh water canal into a brackish tidal creek and increasing salinity levels in some impoundments. FWS has been severely curtailed in its ability to manage the impoundments as a result. At very high tides the Drive must be closed because water from the canal tops the drive and pours into the impoundments on the other side.
We are still waiting on the US Army Corps of Engineers to repair the structure. They have already been allocated the money, but coming up on two years after the Hurricane, no work has yet begun.

text: Innovation is not just one great idea. It is the result of a complicated journey, full of difficulties linked most of the time to "friction with reality": external reality (market, users, competitors, suppliers) but also internal reality of the company, always complex, where the different stakeholders have diverging cultures, habits and objectives. However, the uncertainty inherent in innovation undermines the usual regulatory mechanisms; this explains why failures are so frequent. Moreover, globalization combined with the digital revolution amplifies and accelerates the phenomena of adoption or rejection of innovation. At Mews Partners, our commitment is therefore to approach innovation from a systemic and integrative perspective, focusing on key areas in a concrete and operational way.

RotoTank™ offer an excellent solution to increase the efficiency of your Septic Tank.
Why is a French Drain Soakaway tank used?
A soak away tank, also known as an infiltration tank, is an underground tank used to manage rainwater and wastewater runoff from buildings and septic tanks. The primary function of a soak away tank is to allow rainwater or wastewater to percolate slowly through the surrounding soil, where natural biological and chemical processes help to break down and remove pollutants before the water reaches the groundwater table.
RotoTank™ Soak away tanks are commonly used in areas where there is no access to a public sewer system, or where the available sewage infrastructure is not able to cope with the volume of wastewater generated by the local population. They are also used to manage stormwater runoff, from roofs and walkways and heavy water flow on driveways.
The size of your soak away tank depends on factors such as the soil type, the size of the catchment area, and the expected volume of water to be managed. The tank is usually used to bypass the septic tank, for bath and shower water as well as washing machines and dishwashers.
Water flows into the main body of the tank, where it builds up to the height of the perforated pipes, at this stage it starts to slowly seep down the pipes and release into your surrounding soils.
Overall, the function of a RotoTank™ Soak away tank is to provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for managing wastewater and stormwater runoff, while minimizing the risk of environmental contamination and protecting public health.
Installing an efficient French drain/soak away system is imperative as it can prevent septic tank failures.

 Visual Chaos
Creation Year:
 Web Site
Artist Statement:
 "Visual Chaos" is a short Web work that explores the idea of chaos on the Web. In "Visual Chaos" I created a number of moving windows, as well as windows that appeared in specific places on the screen. I wanted there to be a screen filled with little windows, all doing their own thing. I also used a clickable list to create a poem. Each word is a link that opens a new window. You can read the poem a number of ways. Contained within "Visual Chaos" are a number of flash movies that use historical images of Los Angeles as source material, adding current images and texts as animations to explore the relationship between the past and the present, as well as the ancient, the modern, and the future city.
 "Visual Chaos" uses the space of the Web as a sculptural space, allowing viewers to interact with animated graphics to delve deeper and deeper into an imaginary city. The images are culled from various print media sources. The texts are either found passages from urban theory or specifically written poetic musings on the city. The site explores ideas relating to an abstracted idea of the city. The images depict shadows and bodies. It explores the ideas of being swallowed by the city. In "Visual Chaos" I explore grids as a metaphor for the many different paths one can journey down in the modern metropolis. One of the things I am interested in is to counter the use of the Web solely as a source of information.

Introduced Fish in Maine
White perch occurrence in Maine and New England freshwaters
- White perch naturally occur in coastal ponds and estuaries along the Atlantic coast of North America (ranging from Nova Scotia to South Carolina). Their historical natural presence in inland freshwaters is not well documented (as it is for landlocked Atlantic salmon, and to a lesser extent, their major forage - landlocked rainbow smelt).
- White perch appear to have weak migratory or anadromous traits, in contrast to its close relative, the striped bass (family Moronidae). Estuarine populations appear to have both resident and transient subgroups, and also ascend freshwater coastal streams during their springtime spawning runs (late April to early June).
- White perch, particularly in Maine, are a very popular sportfish - by virtue of their abundance and ease of angling by youngsters, while larger (humpback) individuals are eagerly sought after for human consumption. They may also be the most often illegally introduced (unauthorized translocated) fish species in Maine.
- Landlocked white perch populate numerous inland waterbodies as a result of historical introductions dating back to the early 1900's thru 1940's. Some landlocked white perch populations in Maine are suspected (in the absence of historical stocking records) to have originated from fish transplants during early settlement times.
- Landlocked white perch populations are prolific, very dense, and commonly overpopulate waterbodies where they have been introduced in Maine and New England in general. In many inland waters, white perch populations may become stunted - with large biomasses tied up in old, slow growing and small individuals.
- Adult white perch stay in deeper (pelagic zone) water during the summer, when abundant schools of juvenile (young-of-year) white perch inhabit lakeshores (littoral zone), feeding primarily on smaller crustaceans (zooplankton) during evening hours and generally inhabiting deeper waters (limnetic zone) during daytime hours.

Make Like a Bird and Nest
This is a great project that encourages kids to really think as animals do, and in the process, make something interesting. Ask them how they think a bird makes its nest and see what they say. Then tell them you are going to be like birds today and make your own nests!
Using your own backyard, or a neighborhood park, help your kids gather the items they think a bird would need to make a nest. These nests may not look pretty, but kids will understand how hard it is to create something out of just what nature offers. If they ask for glue, don't give in! This is a nature only project!

Urban Climate Change in Cities of the South
02 Sep 2010
Special lecture for alumni and staff on Tuesday 21 September
There will be a lecture for alumni and staff, organised by the Division of Development and Alumni Relations, on Tuesday 21 September 2010 entitled "Urban Climate Change in Cities of the South: Disasters or slow invidious changes?". The lecture will be presented by Professor Caroline Moser, Professor of Urban Development and Director of the GURC (Global Urban Research Centre) in the School of Environment and Development.
The popular tendency to relate natural disasters to climate change means that slow, often imperceptive and consequently invidious, changes to the severity of weather receive far less attention. Yet, as recent research in Mombassa (Kenya) and Esteli (Nicaragua) show these may be more significant across cities of the South. These issues will be discussed in detail by Professor Moser.
The lecture will be held at the Manchester Conference Centre, Sackville Street at 6.30pm, with tea and coffee available from 6pm. The lecture is free to attend but advance booking is required. For more information or to reserve your place, please contact:

Fortaleza de São José da Amura, also known as the Fortress of Amura, is a fortress which is one of the oldest ones in West Africa, and it is located in the capital city of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, Bissau. As the region replaced many rulers, starting with the Ghana Empire, through the Empire of Mali, continuing with the expansion of the Portuguese, French, Dutch and the English, the Bissau Region have played an important role in the slave market.
It has been of the utmost importance for the Portuguese to protect this region, since there have been talks that the French are having pretensions on the region, by building a fortification through the Senegal Company. As the Portuguese found out about this, from Cape Verde they went straight ahead and built sometime around 1696 the fortress which has been restored a couple of times until today. Under the command of Captain General José Pinheiro, later in 1766 it was rebuilt according to the project of Frei Manuel de Vinhais Sarmento, which plan later was changed by Colonel Manuel Germano Mota.
There are even reports that people from Cape Verde were brought to the site so that they would help with the construction. However, Portugal ceased with sponsorship of the operations in the fortress, something what made the fortress to be in desperate state throughout the years, making it desperate for reconstruction. The fortress once again was rebuilt in 1858, where the project finished in 1860 with the design of Captain Januário Correia de Almeida, but as in the previous instances, there wasn't a big concern whether the fortress will survive the tropical climate or not.
The Amura Fortress in the last century was once again rebuilt in the early 1970s with the guidance of the architect Luis Benavente which final work we get to see today. The fortress is the prime example of military bastion architecture, which is quadrangular in definite Vauban style accompanied with pentagonal bastions at each corner of the fortress. Once, there were up to 38 canons for protection of the fortress, as well as on the inside the Command House, Barracks for the troops and additional warehouses. Due to the importance for the country, in 1975 the Amura Fortress received the remains of the Guinea-Bissauan and Cape Verdean agricultural engineer, intellectual, poet, theoretician, revolutionary, political organizer, nationalist and diplomat, as well as anti-colonial leader, Amílcar Lopes da Costa Cabral. Yet,as it was an important part of the history of Guinea-Bissau, nowadays, with the struggling country that could not see a President to end his five-year term, this definitely is a great landmark, a historic piece of architecture which should be kept for the future generations to see what was it like in the past.

Longer Commutes Lead to Obesity, High Blood Pressure [Study]
1 year ago
The longer you sit in your car, the more unhealthy you get.
News like this may make you envy the guy who rides a bike to work, maybe.
A new study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine says that people who drive more than 15 miles to work each day are more likely to be obese and to carry a lot of fat around the belly. They are also less likely to get enough or as much exercise as those who drive less than five miles to work. People who commute for more than 10 miles were also more likely to have high blood pressure.
The study followed 4,200 adults living in Texas (where everything is bigger) and tracked to map the shortest road routes between workers' homes and offices. People in the study were also given treadmill tests to see how long they could exercise. From that observation by, researchers blood sugar levels, cholesterol, total fat, belly fat, and body mass index (BMI) would allow them to guess how often they exercised.
"The study is the first to show that long commutes can take away from exercise and are associated with higher weight, lower fitness levels, and higher blood pressure. And all of these are strong predictors of [heart] disease, diabetes, and some cancers," says researcher Christine M. Hoehner, PhD, an assistant professor of public health sciences at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
"The car is tough because there's really no easy way to interrupt it," says Richard Krasuski, MD, director of adult congenital heart disease services and a staff cardiologist at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. "If you're sitting at a desk, he says, you can at least get up and stretch once in a while. In a car, you're really confined to that space, you're not really moving around very much."
Now, the study doesn't flat out say "cars make people fat." But, there are factors that go into the theory they are pushing. One, when you spend most of your time in the car, you're more prone to eat in the car as well. Last time we checked, Whole Foods didn't have a drive-thru. But McDonald's? Sometimes they have two. Spending most of your time in a car also means that you may be more prone to eating sweet and salty snacks from the gas station.
So, what can you do to prevent yourself from becoming like the people in the study?
Researchers say that when you do get to work, you should take the stairs instead of the elevator. You can also pack healthy lunches and snacks for yourself. Also, instead of spending so much of your down time sleeping, try to do something active.

Plenty of researchers are anxious to find that suburbia makes us fat, but those of us who grew up running around and climbing trees in big backyards might be more likely to appreciate how certain aspects of suburban living actually encourage healthy living:
- SOUTH Australian children with big backyards are less likely to be overweight and inactive than those with small courtyards, a study has found.
Preliminary data from the Flinders University Achieving a Healthy Home Environment study, which surveyed the homes and lifestyles of 280 southern suburbs families, found the size and set-up of homes contributed largely to how fit and healthy young children were.
Researchers looked at more than 75 physical and nutritional variables in each family home over the past year.
"We found the bigger the backyard, the more active the kids," said Flinders Medical Centre consultant pediatrician Dr Nicola Spurrier, who headed the study that will continue until next year.
"But we also found the amount of play equipment and play areas in a back yard had a big impact too."
Researchers also uncovered other rather obvious points: active parents are more likely to have active kids; healthy kids are more likely to have parents who limit their TV-watching and stick healthy food in the fridge.

How to check if 2 arrays are equal using numpy
This recipe helps you check if 2 arrays are equal using numpy
Recipe Objective
While operating over arrays, we might be interested in finding whether if the two arrays are equal in shape and values.
So this recipe is a short example on how to check if 2 arrays are equal. Let's get started.
Market Basket Analysis Project in Python with Real World Example
Step 1 - Import the library
import numpy as np
Let's pause and look at these imports. Numpy is generally helpful in data manipulation while working with arrays. It also helps in performing mathematical operation.
Step 2 - Generating two arrays
x = np.array([1,2,3,4]) y = np.array([1,2,3])
Here, we have created two simple arrays having differnet shape and values.
Step 3 - Checking equality
np.array_equal(x,y)
Now we simply using array_equal function to compute for equality between two arrays.
Step 4 - Let's look at our dataset now
Once we run the above code snippet, we will see:

The Hamlet (Hypoplectrus), is a grouping fish that is found mainly in coral reefs in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Florida and the Bahamas.
Hamlets are simultaneous hermaphrodites (or synchronous hermaphrodites): They have both male and female sexual organs at the same time as an adult. They seem quite at ease mating in front of divers, allowing observations in the wild to occur readily. They do not practice self-fertilization, but when they find a mate, the pair takes turns between which one acts as the male and which acts as the female through multiple matings, usually over the course of several nights.
It's a popular choice for hobbyist saltwater aquariums.

AB Purpose: To evaluate different electrophysiological changes in eyes of insulin dependent diabetic patients without retinopathy. Methods: The study was conducted on 74 eyes of 37 patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) without diabetic retinopathy. Fifty (50) eyes of 25 normal controls were also examined. All subjects were in the age group 7-29 years. All eyes had best corrected visual acuity of 6/6 , a refractive error < 2.0 D sphere or cylinder, clear media and normal anterior and posterior segments examination with no evidence of diabetic retinopathy. The fasting blood glucose level, and HbA1c in IDDM patients were determined. Electrophysiological examination included: Full field flash electroretinography (ERG) using a standard protocol, electrooculography (EOG) testing with determination of Light peak/Dark trough (Lp/Dt) ratio and pattern electroretinography (PERG) and pattern visual evoked potential (VEP) examination using a black and white checkerboard pattern with 60o check size reversing at 1.9 Hz. Results: P100 of the VEP showed significant delay in eyes of IDDM patients even in those with IDDM < 5 years (105.21 ± 3.12 msec) when compared to controls (101.85 ± 3.64 msec). There was a significant correlation between P100 implicit time and duration of IDDM. The oscillatory potential amplitudes were significantly reduced in eyes of IDDM patients (266.62 ± 59.61µV) when compared to eyes of the control group (288.45 ± 33.15 µV) especially with duration of IDDM ≥ 10 years. PERG amplitudes were significantly reduced in those with IDDM ≥ 10 years while Lp/Dt of the EOG was reduced in those with IDDM ≥ 15 years (2.04 ± 0.71) when compared to controls (2.49 ± 0.29). Conclusions: Eyes of IDDM patients show significant electrophysiological functional changes even before the appearance of any retinopathy

AB Purpose: to evaluate the pattern electroretinography (PERG) and pattern visual evoked potential (VEP) changes in glaucoma and ocular hypertension, and to identify the most reliable and sensitive stimulus spatial and temporal characteristics for testing. Methods: The study was conducted on 30 eyes with primary open angle glaucoma, 20 eyes with ocular hypertension and 20 normal control eyes. All subjects were in the age group 40 – 70 years with no history of other significant ocular or systemic diseases. All eyes had best corrected visual acuity ≥ 6/9, a refractive error < 1.0 D sphere or cylinder and clear media. The cases were subjected to ophthalmological examination and automated perimetry. PERG and VEP were determined using a reversing black and white checkerboard pattern. Three check sizes (15¢, 60¢ and 240¢) and three temporal frequencies (1.9 Hz, 7.5 Hz and 15 Hz) were used. The amplitudes and implicit times were determined at each check size and repetition rate. Results: Eyes with glaucoma showed significant reduction of amplitudes and delay in implicit time at all spatial and temporal frequencies. Eyes with ocular hypertension showed significant changes only with low spatial frequency (240¢ check size) reversing at high temporal frequency stimulation (7.5 Hz and 15 Hz). In eyes with glaucoma, the PERG and VEP amplitudes showed a significant correlation with the mean deviation of automated perimetry. At 100% specificity, PERG and VEP had a sensitivity of 100% in identifying eyes with glaucoma and 45% in identifying eyes with ocular hypertension. Conclusions: PERG and VEP are simple, rapid and objective tests that can reveal abnormalities in eyes with glaucoma and OHT, even in the absence of cupping or visual field defects. The use of low spatial frequency checkerboard patterns reversing at high temporal frequency increases the sensitivity of these tests in identifying eyes with glaucoma and ocular hypertension..

AB Purpose: to evaluate the prognostic value of electroretinography (ERG) in predicting the development of neovascularization (NV) in eyes with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Methods: An ERG protocol was used at patient presentation for 23 eyes with unilateral CRVO and their fellow eyes to define an intensity-response (I-R) function, scotopic a and b waves implicit times, b/a amplitude ratio, oscillatory potential amplitudes, photopic b wave and 30 Hz flicker implicit times and amplitudes. A Naka-Rushton function was fitted to the I-R data to obtain values for Rmax and logK. Fluorescein angiography was performed within 2 months of presentation. Results: On the basis of fluorescein angiography, 9 eyes (39.1%) were classified into ischemic and 14 eyes (60.9 %) into non-ischemic types. During 9 months follow up, 11 eyes (47.8%) developed NV; 6 (66.7%) in ischemic type and 5 in non-ischemic type (35.7%). Compared to eyes with no-NV, eyes with NV had significantly reduced amplitudes, sensitivity, b/a ratio and significant delays in a wave, b wave and 30 Hz flicker implicit times even in eyes of non-ischemic CRVO that developed NV. Fellow eyes of NV group showed some significant differences from fellow eyes of no-NV group. Conclusions: Different ERG parameters obtained early in the course of CRVO can identify eyes at risk of developing neovascularization.

MF & HF-SSB Simplex Frequencies
Simplex frequencies whether MF, HF, or VHF are primarily used for distress, safety, hailing, ship to ship, and also for ship to shore communications. So why is it that duplex channels can't be used for ship to ship communications? Well, technically they can. The problem is that it would require completely different equipment than today's common HF Transceiver found aboard most vessels.
Let's take a look at what happens when (2) vessels try to communicate on a common duplex channel. You can choose any ITU channel that you wish, but for this example we will pick channel 601.
MF/HF-SSB Page Menu
So you are cruising along in Penobscot Bay and you call a friend on 6215.0 kHz who is, let's say a couple of hundred miles south of Bermuda. After making contact, you both agree to switch to 601 to talk. So you both dial up channel 601 on your HF radios and here is what your frequency selection would look like:
ITU Channel 601
Your Boat The Other Boat
You Xmit You Recv They Xmit They Recv
6200.0 kHz 6501.0 kHz 6200.0 kHz 6501.0 kHz

You are both transmitting on 6200.0 kHz, but you are both listening on 6501.0 kHz neither one of you are listening on 6200.0 kHz. So no one hears what the other is saying. Public Coast Stations on the other hand are set up differently and that is why duplex channels work for them. When they dial up 601 the frequencies are reversed. They are transmitting on 6501.0 kHz and listening on 6200.0 kHz
This brings us back again to the use of simplex frequencies for ship to ship communications.
Primary MF/HF-SSB Simplex Frequencies
Medium and High Frequency Simplex is provided for worldwide common use by ships of all categories and of all nations. By international agreement, it is used for communications with other ships or shore stations. Intership communications being the primary use for simplex frequencies.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Division of Maintenance is responsible for identifying and prioritizing locations in need of guardrail. A procedure used by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet was originally developed by the Kentucky Transportation Center in 1989 and updated in 2002. Based on frequent usage by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet of the guardrail location rating system database, the need was identified to update the existing database and incorporate improved reporting capabilities. The objectives of the research study, as documented herein, were to update and improve the processes for identification of roadway locations that should be considered for installation of guardrail. Primary new features include the following:
- Revised crash data reflecting the most recent statistics of run-off-road crashes,
- Incorporating the Critical Rate Calculator as the mechanism for obtaining crash data, and
- Photographs and descriptive information representative of the Subjective Hazard Rating required for each location being considered for guardrail installations.

The Cambridge Glass Fair
three hundred years of collectable glass in one day
In 1837, the brothers James and John Hartley established the Wear Glass Works in Sunderland which became well known for the manufacture of window glass, including crown, cylinder and Patent Rolled Plate or PRP, a type of mainly patterned cast glass which was much thinner than that produced elsewhere.
At the Great Exhibition in 1851 Hartley's was awarded a prize medal for PRP for roofing. Various problems led to the closure of the firm in 1892. In the same year James Hartley's grandson, James Hartley Jnr., rented a redundant bottle works in Monkwearmouth and with a small team of ex-Hartley glassblowers continued to produce cylinder and crown glass.
The name changed to Hartley Wood & Co. in 1895 when Alfred Wood, the leading colour mixer from Hartley's, joined as a partner.
The firm prospered in the 1920's due to the demand for memorial windows after the Great War, and in the period after World War II because of the wide-spread damage sustained by churches.
In 1956, the Clean Air Act meant that the old coal-fired furnace was replaced by four oil-fired modern furnaces. New legislation brought about other changes to dangerous materials used, especially in the manufacture of the streaky colour combinations known as 'Antique Glass' for which Hartley Wood was famous.
The difference this made to the metal can be most easily seen in the art glass made by the firm from the 1930's onwards, examples of which can be seen here. The earlier vases are uneven and heavy and the glass has an oily look, while the later pieces are mould-blown, lighter and more regular in shape.
The company was sold to Pilkington's in 1983, but despite investment Hartley Wood closed in 1989.
The foyer exhibition will bring together a number of these interesting and striking pieces in various shapes and colourways from two private collections. This area of glass is deserving of more attention and, as can be seen from the images accompanying this article, with even a small number of vases placed in close proximity you can have your very own stained glass window.
For further information about Hartley Wood glass, please see the article by Susan Newell published in The Journal of the Glass Association Vol.6 dated 2001.

How to Get Rid of a Window That Won't Close in Windows XP
Author Info
Updated: August 28, 2019
Close a windowed application in Windows XP that appears to have stopped responding.
Steps
 1. 1
 Identify the program that has opened the window. This information is located in the title bar, directly above "File Edit View .." It is generally found in the "Name - Application" format. The example here shows "Minesweeper" The part after the hyphen (Wordpad) is the application.
 2. 2
 Click on "File" or "Game". Then, click "Exit" in the drop down box. Depending on the type window and if changes have been made, you may: 1) be prompted to save the file, 2) it will close, or 3) it will remain open. If it remained open, continue to the next step. The next steps may not offer options to save the file before it unceremoniously closes.
 3. 3
 Click on the "X" box at the far right inside the title bar. If the window did not close, continue to the next step.
 4. 4
 Press and hold the "Ctrl" "Alt" and the "Delete" keys all at the same time for about 1 second. A new box called "Task Manager" will open.
 5. 5
 Click the Application tab to reveal the contents (if not already displayed). Find the matching entry of the window that will not close. The example is Minesweeper. Look at the status for the entry. The example shows "Running". The other possibility is "Not Responding". If the status is Not Responding, click the "End task" button in the lower right of the display. If the status is "Running" it may need additional time to complete before the window will close. You may either wait longer, or press the End Task button. If the window still refuses to close proceed to the next step.
 6. 6
 Click the "Processes" tab.
 7. 7
 Click on "Image Name" to sort the list alphabetically if desired.
 8. 8
 Scroll down the list until the name of the file that is used to start the program is located. If the file name (or image name) is not listed, check the "Tips" section below for help with identifying application file name (or image name).
 9. 9
 Click on the file name "winmine.exe" once to highlight it.
 10. 10
 Click on the "End Process" button.
 11. 11
 A window "Task Manager Warning" will appear. You must decide to either proceed (select "Yes") or cancel (select "No") killing the process before being allowed to continue.
 1. Check the "Tips" section for help with any resulting Error Windows when attempting to end a task or application.
 12. 12
 If the window still remained open, it might be best to simply reboot.

 Tips
 - Sometimes a window that won't close might just be loading. If you would like, give it some time.
 - Not every application uses a file name (or image name) that is the same as the application name to start. An example is "Mozilla Firefox". The file name that starts this application is actually "firefox.exe" While not a "stretch" for the name, if you were looking in the processes tab for file names that begin with "m" you might not find it. Find the file names that start applications by looking in "Programs" listing when the Windows "Start" button is pressed. Find the application name, and right click it and click on "properties" to find the location and file name that starts the application.
 - Sometimes, when attempting to stop an application or image name, a warning box stating one of the following messages: "Cannot delete file: Access is denied." "There has been a sharing violation." "The source or destination file may be in use." "The file is in use by another program or user." "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." Get around these problems by running a free program called File Unlocker first.
 - If unsure or wish not to attempt stopping any process or application, press the "Esc" key to close the Task Manager and return to the previous screen.

 Warnings
 - If you have struggle with your window on Windows XP then, get some help or, call some support for this version of Windows. Sometimes it works with tech support to close the window but, sometime does not working and cause the computer unstable and not working...Be Careful!!!
 - Stopping applications or files in this manner can further increase the instability of the Operating System. Ending any critical process will have undesirable results. Reboot the computer when possible to stabilize the system.
 - Save any work and open programs before trying to close windows that appear to no longer be responding with the steps above. If applications and windows fail to close as expected, the Operating System has already become unstable, and may crash without warning.

".
 - This is different from "i.e." -- I dot E dot -- which is used to add clarity to something.
 - So it means that you say something, and then you want to say it again but maybe in different
 - words. So that sort of means "that is". So you restate an idea. For example, "This happened
 這就有點像"that is"也就是說的意思。你會重申這個概念。例如"這件事發生在
 - on Halloween, i.e. October 31st." Okay? So it just clarifies something. It makes something
 萬聖節，也就是，10月31日。 了解? 這是要澄清某件事。這讓一些概念
 - more clear. You have the same point, but you're repeating it, in a sense, in different words.
 - Okay? So "i.e." does not mean "example".
 了解?所以 "i.e."不代表"example舉例"
 - No. 9, "etc." -- E-T-C. So again, that means "et cetera". And what does this mean? When
 第九個 "etc."--E-T-C. 這代表"et cetera" 意思是什麼呢? 當
 - you're listing a bunch of different things, you have many, many things to say, you can
 - use this to mean "and so forth". Okay? So this -- seven, eight, and nine are all used
 用這個代表 "and so forth 等" 了解? 這個--八九不離十，都是用在
 - in writing, not in speech. If I read "etc.", an example of this would be, "Today, I went
 寫作上，而不是在對話中。如果我說 "etc."，例如，"今天，我去
 - grocery shopping. I bought many things. I bought eggs, bread, milk, chicken, juice,
 - etc." So it means I'm listing a long list -- instead of saying every single thing I
 - bought, which can take me a long time, "etc." means "and so forth". Okay? "I play many sports.
 因為這可能會花很多時間，"etc."就意味等等"and so forth" 了解? "我做很多種運動
 - I play soccer; I play baseball, tennis, badminton, etc." Okay? So it means "and so forth".
 我玩足球、棒球、網球、羽球，等等。" 了解? 這代表 "and so forth等等"
 - Finally, No. 10, "ATM". What is an "ATM"? It stands for "automatic teller machine",
 最後，第十個，"ATM"什麼是"ATM"呢? 它是"automatic teller machine"的縮寫
 - okay? "ATM" is a machine. You usually find it at the bank, or you can find it sometimes
 了解? "ATM"是個機器。你通常會在銀行看到，或是有時在
 - in stores, on the street. And it's like a bank. You put in your debit card, and it gives
 - you money. So it's a machine that gives you money, and it's associated with your bank.
 - Okay? So you might ask, "Where's the closest ATM?" "Are there any ATMs in this mall?" Meaning,
 了解? 所以你可能會問"最近的提款機在哪裡?" "這個商場有任何提款機嗎?"意思是
 - "Are there any bank machines?" Okay?
 "有提款機嗎?" 了解?
 - So I hope you come and visit our website at ASAP, okay? As soon as you

CMSH uses MPCVD equipment to achieve epitaxial growth of polycrystalline diamond material with a thickness of<10um on a 50.8 mm (2 inch) silicon-based gallium nitride HEMT. Scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer were used to characterize the surface morphology, crystalline quality and grain orientation of the diamond film. The results showed that the surface morphology of the sample was relatively uniform, and the diamond grains basically showed (111) plane growth, with Higher crystal plane orientation. In the growth process, the etching of gallium nitride (GaN) by hydrogen plasma is effectively avoided, so that the characteristics of gallium nitride before and after diamond coating do not change significantly.

The baseball side of Kerouac
Author obsessively wrote fantasy games
Jack Kerouac created team cards for a fantasy baseball game he invented and a broadsheet for his fantasy horse-racing circuit. (New York Times News Service)
 Jack Kerouac
NEW YORK – Almost all his life, Jack Kerouac had a hobby that even close friends and fellow Beats such as Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs never knew about.
He obsessively played a fantasy baseball game of his own invention, charting the exploits of made-up players such as Wino Love, Warby Pepper, Heinie Twiett, Phegus Cody and Zagg Parker, who toiled on imaginary teams named either for cars (the Pittsburgh Plymouths and New York Chevvies, for example) or for colors (the Boston Grays and Cincinnati Blacks).
All of these "publications," some typed, some handwritten and often pasted into old-fashioned composition notebooks, are part of the Jack Kerouac Archive at the Berg Collection of the New York Public Library. The curator, Isaac Gewirtz, has written a 75-page book about them, "Kerouac at Bat: Fantasy Sports and the King of the Beats," to be published next week by the library and available, at least for now, only in its gift shop.
Gewirtz said he had included much of the fantasy material in a 2007 Kerouac exhibition he mounted at the library, and had planned to add a chapter about the fantasy sports in the catalog but ran out of space. "I'm glad I waited," he said, "because it forced me to go into it all in much more depth."
The game could be played using cards alone, but Gewirtz thinks that more often Kerouac determined the result of a pitch by tossing some sort of projectile at a diagramed chart on the wall. In 1956, he switched to a new set of cards, which used hieroglyphic symbols instead of descriptions. Carefully preserved inside plastic folders at the library, they look as mysterious as runes.
The horse-racing game was played by rolling marbles and a silver ball bearing down a tilted Parcheesi board, using a starting gate made of toothpicks.
Apparently, the ball bearing traveled faster than the marbles, some of which were intentionally nicked to indicate equine fragility and mortality. So the ball bearing became the nearly invincible horse Repulsion, "King of the Turf," whose legendary speed and stamina are celebrated in Kerouac's racing sheets.
A byline that frequently appears in the racing sheets and the baseball newsletters is "Jack Lewis," an Anglicization of Kerouac's French first name, Jean-Louis.

The CONFIG GET command is used to read the configuration parameters of a running Redis server. Not all the configuration parameters are supported in Redis 2.4, while Redis 2.6 can read the whole configuration of a server using this command.
The symmetric command used to alter the configuration at run time is CONFIG SET.
CONFIG GET takes a single argument, that is glob style pattern. All the configuration parameters matching this parameter are reported as a list of key-value pairs. Example:
redis> config get *max-*-entries*
1) "hash-max-zipmap-entries"
2) "512"
3) "list-max-ziplist-entries"
4) "512"
5) "set-max-intset-entries"
6) "512"
You can obtain a list of all the supported configuration parameters typing CONFIG GET * in an open redis-cli prompt.
All the supported parameters have the same meaning of the equivalent configuration parameter used in the redis.conf file, with the following important differences:
 - Where bytes or other quantities are specified, it is not possible to use the redis.conf abbreviated form (10k 2gb ... and so forth), everything should be specified as a well formed 64 bit integer, in the base unit of the configuration directive.
 - The save parameter is a single string of space separated integers. Every pair of integers represent a seconds/modifications threshold.
For instance what in redis.conf looks like:
save 900 1
save 300 10
that means, save after 900 seconds if there is at least 1 change to the dataset, and after 300 seconds if there are at least 10 changes to the datasets, will be reported by CONFIG GET as "900 1 300 10".
@return
The return type of the command is a @bulk-reply.

Cobalt phosphide nanowire array as an effective electrocatalyst for non-enzymatic glucose sensing†
It is of significant importance for the design of electrodes to construct enhanced electrochemical sensing platforms, and a nanoarray offers an ideal architecture for the detection of molecules. In this communication, we demonstrate that cobalt phosphide nanowire array grown in situ on titanium mesh (CoP NA/TM) exhibits high catalytic activity towards electrooxidation of glucose. As a non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensor, this CoP NA/TM catalytic electrode possesses superior analytical performance with a short response time of less than 5 s, a wide linear range of 0.0005–1.5 mM, a low detection limit of 0.1 μM (S/N = 3), a high sensitivity of 5168.6 μA mM−1 cm−2, and a remarkable selectivity and long-term stability for glucose detection. We further demonstrate the successful use of such glucose biosensors in human blood serum and fruit juice.

Deep in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, Lorna "Liana" Li discovered her purpose and her divine calling while drinking visionary plant medicines with indigenous shamans. She was given a mission:
With the explosion of interest in the West, coupled with inadequate preparation and integration, there is an alarming phenomenon of Westerners emerging from shamanic experiences worse than when they started.
