A Fubini theorem for categorical limits
We prove that $lim_{J × K} G = lim_J (lim_K G(j, -))$ for a functor G : J × K ⥤ C, when all the appropriate limits exist.
We begin working with a functor F : J ⥤ K ⥤ C. We'll write G : J × K ⥤ C for the associated "uncurried" functor.
In the first part, given a coherent family D of limit cones over the functors F.obj j, and a cone c over G, we construct a cone over the cone points of D. We then show that if c is a limit cone, the constructed cone is also a limit cone.
In the second part, we state the Fubini theorem in the setting where limits are provided by suitable has_limit classes.
We construct limit_uncurry_iso_limit_comp_lim F : limit (uncurry.obj F) ≅ limit (F ⋙ lim) and give simp lemmas characterising it. For convenience, we also provide limit_iso_limit_curry_comp_lim G : limit G ≅ limit ((curry.obj G) ⋙ lim) in terms of the uncurried functor.
Future work

A structure carrying a diagram of cones over the the functors F.obj j.
Extract the functor J ⥤ C consisting of the cone points and the maps between them, from a diagram_of_cones.
Given a diagram D of limit cones over the F.obj j, and a cone over uncurry.obj F, we can construct a cone over the diagram consisting of the cone points from D.
Given a functor F : J ⥤ K ⥤ C, with all needed limits, we can construct a diagram consisting of the limit cone over each functor F.obj j, and the universal cone morphisms between these.

PENQUIS VALLEY - Spring is the season for stocking ponds with trout. Before rainbow or brook trout can be obtained, pond owners need a permit issued by the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Department for the species most appropriate for their ponds. There are a few facts to consider before deciding which type of fish to order.
This year, it may be wiser to plan on rainbow trout. There will be a shortage of brook trout at Maine nurseries this year, and rainbows can't be stocked into a pond that holds an IFW permit for brookies only.
According to Evelyn Sawyer of Sea Run Holdings, Inc., nurseries aren't raising as many brook trout as they used to. Sawyer said that state regulations require costly tests of each species, so eliminating brook trout from the inventory saves nurseries a $2,500 testing fee. Also, she said, Maine "has developed a zero tolerance for one 'disease' that is present in nearly 100 percent of brook trout."
Sea Run did carry a small inventory of brook trout this year, but due to unfavorable weather conditions they suffered a freeze-up over the winter. To make matters worse, an otter knocked out the screen to the pond, causing the loss of any remaining brook trout.
The Piscataquis County Soil & Water Conservation District will be unable to fill brook trout orders this year. They are advising customers to attempt to become permitted for rainbows rather than brookies. For those who have already ordered brook trout, rainbow trout may be substituted as long as the pond is permitted for both species. Those who ordered brook trout and are not permitted for rainbows will receive a refund.
When ordering rainbow trout, it is important to take the life span of the fish into consideration. If eight to 10 inch trout are stocked, they will live only about two years. By stocking smaller fish, pond owners will have the trout for closer to four or five years. Feeding the fish accelerates their growth and shortens their life span. There is enough naturally occurring food in most ponds to sustain the trout. If feeding is part of the joy of having the fish, however, floating food should be given only in amounts that can be immediately consumed by the trout. Otherwise, food drifts to the bottom polluting the pond and cutting oxygen supplies to the fish. A low-oxygen pond and a hot summer day can take their toll, resulting in the deaths of stocked trout.
As rainbows grow larger, plan to invite friends and neighbors in to fish the pond out and restock. Otherwise, the fish will simply reach their maximum size and die.
The Piscataquis County Soil & Water District's Annual Trout Sale order deadline is May 10. Pick-up will be at the district office at noon on May 18. For information about obtaining trout, call Sheila Grant at _PHONE_.

 Which type glove must be used as outer protection when rubber insulating gloves are being used?
 - A.
 A. Cotton.
 - B.
 B. Wool.
 - C.
 C. Leather.
 - D.
 D. Synthetic.
 Correct Answer
 C. C. Leather.
 Explanation
 When rubber insulating gloves are being used, leather gloves must be used as outer protection. Leather gloves provide an additional layer of protection against physical hazards such as cuts, abrasions, and punctures. They are durable and offer good grip, making them suitable for various work environments. Cotton and wool gloves may not provide adequate protection, while synthetic gloves may not have the same level of durability and resistance as leather gloves. Therefore, leather gloves are the most appropriate choice for outer protection when using rubber insulating gloves.

The Biography of Mary Anderson
by Laura F, Age 9
, Grade 4, P.A
The biography of Mary Anderson
Do you want to learn about Mary Anderson? If you do I can tell you all about the biography of Mary Anderson. She invented the windshield wipers and she was famous for that. When were the windshield wipers invented? In 1902 in a trolley car.
She was born on February 19,to John C. and Rebecca Anderson. Mary's father died when she was four. She had a brother in law. Also his name was G.P. Thornton.
She was born in Greene county Alabama,at the start of the post civil war reconstruction. In 1893 she decided to move to Canada where she established a cattle,ranch,and a vineyard. She was hired to make the windshield wipers to keep precipitation off the windshield.
She died when she was 87 in 1953, June 27,in Monteagle,Tennessee, at her summer home. Anderson resigned in Birmingham,where she continued to manage the Fairmont apartments until she died at 87 years old. Her funeral was conducted by Dr. Frank A Mathes at south highland and she was buried at Elmwood cemetery.
That's what I found about Mary Anderson who invented the windshield wipers. With the overview paragraph,childhood events,early life later life and concluding with lots of fact about Mary Anderson.


Matomo-Image-Tracker Psittaciformes - Coracopsis
Psittaciformes
Coracopsis
The vasa parrots are three species of parrot which are endemic to Madagascar and other islands in the western Indian Ocean. Some taxonomists place the genus in Mascarinus.
They are notable in the parrot world for their peculiar appearance, which includes extremely truncated bodies with long necks, black to grey feathers and a pink beak.
The skin of both female and male vasa turns yellow during the breeding season, and there is often feather loss. However, in females the feather loss can result in complete baldness. Another interesting feature of the females breeding physiology is when her feathers, which are usually black to grey, turn brown without a molt. This is caused by the redistribution of melanin, which is the pigment that makes the vasas' feathers black.

2.1. Longitudinal magnetic field measurements
The longitudinal magnetic field represents the disc-integrated line-of-sight component of the magnetic field. Observations of the longitudinal fields of HD 12288 and HD 14437 were obtained at the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SAO) and at the University of Western Ontario Elginfield Observatory (UWO).
2.1.1. SAO measurements
Thirteen longitudinal field measurements of HD 12288 and 28 measurements of HD 14437 were obtained at the SAO, using the 6 metre telescope and main stellar spectrograph equipped with an achromatic circular polarisation analyser. SAO magnetic data obtained before JD _PHONE_ were recorded on Kodak IIaO photographic plates, with a reciprocal linear dispersion of . Those obtained after JD _PHONE_ were measured from CCD spectra, recorded using the spectroscopic CCD with a reciprocal linear dispersion of . The longitudinal field was inferred from measurements of the relative displacement of spectral lines in the left and right circular polarisation spectra. Quoted uncertainties are at the 1 level, and were computed from the distribution of the displacement measurements. The SAO equipment and observing technique are described by Glagolevski et al. (1986) and Borisenko et al. (1991).
In addition to the spectropolarimetric measurements, two measurements of HD 14437 obtained on JD _PHONE_ and _PHONE_ were acquired using the SAO photoelectric Balmer line magnetometer. This instrument is similar in principle to the UWO photoelectric polarimeter described below.
2.1.2. UWO measurements
Seven longitudinal field measurements of HD 12288 and 6 measurements of HD 14437 were obtained at UWO. The UWO photoelectric polarimeter was used as a Balmer line Zeeman analyser at the UWO 1.2 metre telescope. The polarimeter measures the fractional circular polarisation in the wings of H, isolated using narrowband interference filters, at Å from line centre. It has been shown (Landstreet 1982) that the polarisation thus measured is linearly related to the mean longitudinal magnetic field. For these observations, mean conversion factors G and G per percent circular polarisation were found respectively for HD 12288 and HD 14437 from H line scans. Uncertainties associated with the UWO measurements were determined from photon counting statistics, and are at the 1 level. A more detailed description of the instrument and observing technique is given by Landstreet (1980).
As will become apparent, the different measurement techniques described above can result in systematic differences between the longitudinal field as measured using metallic lines (denoted ) and that measured using Balmer lines (denoted ). We will retain these different symbols to help reinforce that the two methods do in fact measure somewhat different quantities, and we should therefore not expect them to be fully consistent.
2.2. Mean magnetic field modulus measurements
Respectively 28 and 32 spectroscopic observations of HD 12288 and HD 14437 were obtained by Mathys et al. (1997) and Mathys et al. (1999) in the context of a larger study of magnetic fields in Ap stars. From these spectra measurements of the mean magnetic field modulus were obtained. The field modulus, which represents the disc integrated strength of the magnetic field, was inferred from fits to the magnetically split components of the Fe II Zeeman doublet. The relevant observing, reduction and analysis procedures are described in detail by Mathys et al. (1997).
For HD 12288 the mean value of is 7978 G, with a minimum measured value of 7439 G and a maximum value of 8496 G, while for HD 14437 the mean value of is 7665 G, with a minimum measured value of 7024 G and a maximum value of 8219 G. For HD 14437 Mathys et al. (1997) estimate the uncertainty of individual measurements to be about 200 G. While Mathys et al. do not estimate the uncertainty of individual measurements for HD 12288, they do provide the rms deviations (120 G) about the best-fit curve. We provisionally adopt this value as the 1 uncertainty of individual measurements.
2.3. HIPPARCOS photometry
Respectively 164 and 100 photometric measurements of HD 12288 and HD 14437 were obtained in the context of the HIPPARCOS mission, in the HIPPARCOS photometric system described in Volume 1 of The HIPPARCOS and Tycho Catalogues (ESA 1997). The measured magnitude (in the HIPPARCOS photometric system) of HD 12288 is 7.779 with an rms scatter of 0.016 mag, while that of HD 14437 is 7.258 with an rms scatter of 0.013 mag. The photometry is available in Volume 17 of the HIPPARCOS Catalogue, CD-ROM no. 3 (ESA 1997). In the following analysis a single spurious observation of HD 14437 (obtained on JD _PHONE_.510) and two spurious observations of HD 12288 (obtained on JD _PHONE_.534 and JD _PHONE_.639) have been removed.

. uses ! to match the Morse form of that word (w>>=((…)!!).fromEnum, which is equivalent to concatMap (((…)!!) . fromEnum) w) against the input string i,
 3. calls itself (d&j) to match the rest of the string, and
 4. returns the possible result as a list of words w:n, in the list monad [w:n] (which is the shorter, concrete equivalent to return (w:n)).
 Note that every line after line 6 is part of the do expression started on line 6; this takes exactly the same number of characters as using semicolons on a single line, but is more readable, though you can only do it once in a program.
This program is extremely slow. It can be made faster (and slightly longer) easily by storing the morsified words next to the originals in a list rather than recomputing them at each pattern match. The next thing to do would be to store the words in a binary tree keyed by Morse symbols (a 2-ary trie) so as to avoid trying unnecessary branches.
It could be made slightly shorter if the dictionary file did not contain unused symbols such as "-", allowing removal of replicate 97"X"++ in favor of doing .(-97+) before the !!.

Code:
D,P='-.';U,N='-.-','.-.'
def s(b,i):
 if i=='':print b
 for w in open('d').read().split():
 C=''.join([dict(zip('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-\'23',[P+D,D+3*P,U+P,'-..',P,D+N,'--.',4*P,2*P,P+3*D,U,N+P,2*D,D+P,D*3,'.--.',D+U,N,P*3,D,'..-',3*P+D,'.--','-..-',U+D,'--..']+['']*4))[c]for c in w]);L=len(C)
 if i[:L]==C:s(b+' '+w,i[L:])
s('',input())
Explanation:
The dictionary must be stored as a plain text file named "d".
D, P, U and N are just some helper variables for a shorter definition of the morse lookup table.
s(i) is a recursive function that prints the previously translated message part p and each valid translation of the remaining code part i: If i is empty, we reached the end of the code an b contains the whole translation, thus we simply print it. Otherwise we check each word w in the dictionary d, translate it into morse code C and, if the remaining code i starts with C, we add the word w to the translated beginning b and call the function s recursively on the remainder.
Note on efficiency:
This is a pretty slow but golfed version. Especially loading the dictionary and constructing the morse lookup table (dict(zip(...))) in each iteration (to avoid more variables) costs a lot. And it would be more efficient to translate all words in the dictionary file once in advance and not in each recursion on demand. These ideas lead to the following version with 40 more characters but significant speed-up:
d=open('d').read().split()
D,P='-.';U,N='-.-','.-.'
M=dict(zip('abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-\'23',[P+D,D+3*P,U+P,'-..',P,D+N,'--.',4*P,2*P,P+3*D,U,N+P,2*D,D+P,D*3,'.--.',D+U,N,P*3,D,'..-',3*P+D,'.--','-..-',U+D,'--..']+['']*4))

You can produce more interesting results (longer words) more quickly by sorting the dictionary by descending length of words. d=sorted(open('d').read().split(),key=len,reverse=1) Or, do that externally by pre-sorting your dictionary that way. – Greg Hewgill Aug 24 '14 at 21:56

I love this document. It's a survey of property allotted to Hassanamisco Nipmuc Sarah Robins who married Peter Muckamaug. Though Native, Peter was not from Hassanamesit so the land could not be allotted to (or owned by) him. When Sarah Robins died, the land passed to her children.
The Muckamaug allotment was originally 106 acres. The land came from the division of the Hassanamisco Praying Plantation. Praying Plantations, or towns, were the colonial Massachusetts equivalent to today's reservation system. The Praying Town at Hassanamesit was 8000 acres. In 1728, the MA Bay government allowed those 8000 acres to be divided up between 40 English proprietors and 7 Native families. Land was also set aside for a Native church and school and stipulations made for a minister and teacher. The 7 Native families received 1200 acres in separate parcels. The rest was sold to the 40 proprietors and monies from the sale deposited for use by the Hassanamiscos. Since it was not believed that Native people could control their own resources, guardians were appointed to oversee their assets. Native people throughout Massachusetts could not sell their land or spend even the interest on their money without asking their guardians to petition the legislature until 1869.
Another map from the collections of American Antiquarian Society showing part of the 1728 allotments. This was posted on a Grafton, MA town webpage.
Part of the Muckamaug allotment is now owned by the town of Grafton and is preserved as "Hassanamesit Woods".The Fiske Center for Archaeological Research is conducting an archaeological dig in Hassanamesit Woods where the Muckamaug's great-granddaughter's house stood from at least 1790 to 1923 when it was bulldozed over. The story of 4 generations of Nipmuc women living on this land will be coming to this blog soon!
(You may have noticed that sometimes I write Hassanamisco and sometimes Hassanamesit. Hassanamesit refers to the land and means "the place of many small stones". Hassanamisco refers to the people of that land.)
Until next time,


spaces are counted as long as they are found inside the quotation marks so if we want a space character after Kalle we will have to write it like this:
M125 My own macro : "KALLE "
Inside the "" signs we can besides ordinary texts also insert special control codes to determine the appearance of the output. Control codes are always preceded by a # sign followed by a letter and sometimes digits, too. As an example of a control code can be adduced #b which implies row pitch or block end. If we want to output the text Kalle Andersson but we want these two words to end up each on its own line in the nc-program we simply write
M125 My own macro : "KALLE#bANDERSSON"
Another control code is used to output the contents of a parameter and is called #x. This control code prints out the contents of the last-mentioned parameter. Mentioning a parameter implies printing it outside the "" signs. If, for instance, we want to print out an S followed by the number of spindle revolutions, we print the following macro:
M125 Print spindle rotation speed : <spirot> "S#x"
Other control codes can be used to decide the appearance of a number at the output. An example could be #d indicating the minimum of decimals to be printed. If for instance, we want a macro that outputs the absolute x-value with at least two decimals added, the macro will look like this:
M125 Print out X : <xstopa> "X#d2#x"
Lists of control codes
CodeDescription
#b end-of-block
#nnn prints the ascii sign nnn (e.g. #003)
## prints #
#" prints "
#x prints active parameter
#$ prints active text parameter
#Dn max. n number of decimals (3)
#dn min. n number of decimals (-1 =no decimal point)
#Rt fills in concluding zeros by t (ä = none)
#Hn max. n-number of integers (9)
#hn min. number of integers (1
#Lt fills in introductory zeros by t
#Pt sign for decimal point (ä= no decimal point (.))
#Tt sign at positive number (ä=none)
#Nt sign at negative number (-)
#Fn fills in to the right to the number of positions with the sign indicated by #R (0).
You can read more about control codes in the section called "Formatted output" further on in this booklet.
CONDITIONS
In addition to control codes we can set conditions etc. If, for instance, we want to check if a flag is not set (0) before calling a macro we can use a function which looks like this:
%F10()
This means: IF FLAG 10 IS NOT SET CARRY OUT WHAT IT SAYS WITHIN THE BRACKETS.
When we use % the condition is carried out without the flag being influenced but we could also use the & sign which implies that the flag is set (becomes 1) after carrying out the instruction and then it will look like this:
&F10()
This means: IF FLAG 10 IS NOT SET CARRY OUT WHAT IT SAYS WITHIN THE BRACKETS AND SET THE FLAG AFTERWARDS
- WHAT IS THE USE?
Suppose that we want a thing done only once in an NC-program. For instance, we want code M66 to be output in connection with the first change of tools but not in connection with the subsequent ones. Then we will have to start by creating a flag for this, choosing for instance flag 25.
F25 Flag for M66 :
Between the flag and the colon (must be included) we can print a commenting text which is there only to make it easier for us to remember what the flag is used for. This is not necessary but it simplifies matters when later on we set about editing the post processor. After the colon we print the numbers of the flags we want this flag to zero (see the section on flags) but this is not necessary for this flag.
It now remains to create the condition which will output code M66 the first time:
&F25(" M66")
This means: IF FLAG 25 IS NOT SET OUTPUT M66 AND SET FLAG 25.
The flag being zero (not set) when we start the post processor the condition will be met the first time and since we use the &character the flag will be set which will entail that the condition will not be met the next time. It now remains to insert the condition in the desired position in the macro for the change of tools.
M111 Makro for toolchange: M103 <toolnr> " T#x M6" \
&F25(" M66")
Notice that we use the \-sign (backslash) to tell the post processor to go on reading the macro on the next line.
We can also indicate what we want to happen if the condition is not met (OR ELSE). If we want to change the macro for the change of tools so that M66 is output at the first change of tools and M67 (notice that this example is not necessarily logical but only used to explain the functions of the language) is output at all subsequent changes of tools we must add a pair of brackets to be executed if the condition is not met. This is done like this:
&F25(" M66"),(" M67")
This means: IF FLAG 25 IS NOT SET OUTPUT M66 OTHERWISE OUTPUT M67 AND SET THE FLAG.
After all types of conditions we can print an alternative pair of brackets separately with a comma sign to be executed if the first pair of brackets was not executed. Those who know some BASIC would picture the above line like this:
IF F25=0 THEN PRINT " M66" ELSE PRINT " M67" END IF
F25=1
SETTING VARIABLES AND FLAGS
The $-sign is used to set unconditionally a variable at a value or to set a flag. If for instance we want to set variable 10 with the contents of <xstope> we write:
$V10<xstopa>
We can also make calculations when setting a variable:
$V10<xstopa+10/2>
which means that we set V10 with the contents of <xstope> +10 divided by 2. Notice that no priority is given but the calculations are made in the order they are input. We will return to calculations later on in this booklet.
If we want to set a flag (e.g. no 15 we write:
$F15
meaning that we set flag 15 at 1. If we want to zero a flag we will have to set another flag which in turn zeroes this flag. See section on flags.
REPETITIONS (LOOPS)
By means of the *-character we can perform repetitions or loops as they are also called. Either we can let a flag control our loop or we can allow the loop to be controlled by the contents of a parameter or a variable.
If we want a pair of brackets to be repeated controlled by a parameter we write:
<parameter> *()
which means that the contents of the brackets will be repeated as many times as the contents of the parameter.
Instead of the name of a parameter we can write a calculation, a variable or an integer between the < and > signs. These will be created in the same way as a parameter of the post processor. See example below!
<10>
<5+toolnr>
<V1>
<V1+toolnr>
Example
Edit the macro for program start (M1) and write as follows:
<10> *("TEST#b")
First write this on the line of M1 and then test-run. If you did it right, the result should be like this:
TEST
TEST
TEST
TEST
TEST
TEST
TEST
TEST
TEST
TEST
Test is written 10 times at the beginning of the program.
- Now what is the use of that?
Well, we can use loops in many contexts e.g. if we want to create a macro in order to determine an ellipse or something similar we will need to be able to loop in the macro. We will come back to this later.
More loops
The other variant of a loop controlled by a flag is used when we cannot tell in advance how many revolutions the loop should run. The loop will be executed until the flag is set.
*F10()
meaning: REPEAT THE CONTENTS OF THE BRACKETS UNTIL F10 IS SET.
Since there is a risk that you happen to make an incorrect macro so that the flag is never set (you will then get an endless loop) the number of max. revolutions has been set at 1000. This means that the loop is unconditionally interrupted when the brackets have been repeated a thousand revs. If you want to change the number of max. revs there is a position for this called 17. Add this to the positions at the beginning of the post processor and write how many revolutions there should be at the maximum:
I7 Max no. of revolutions in a loop : 2000
It is also possible to press the ESC-key if you find that the post processor has got stuck in a loop.
We will also try a variant with a flag controlling the loop. Begin by adding another flag in the post processor:
F20 My own loop flag :
Also create a new variable that we may use:
V10 My variabel
Then exchange the first loop you wrote in M1 for the following:
$V10<0> *F20($V10<V10+1>"TEST NR:#x#b" <V10> =15

In the book Designers are Wankers, author Lee McCormack interviews graphic designer Neville Brody, founder of London-based Research Studios, about challenging convention.
Then I started to realize quite clearly that social rules, specifically graphic design rules, were irrelevant. They were created by different people for different societies at a different time to solve different problems. We were still being taught that this is the way we had to do it. It led me to thinking that anything was fair game, anything was challengeable.
Brody gives an example of how page numbers are used as the traditional scale to indicate progress through a book. However, it is only tradition as anything can be used that progresses – a color flowing to another color or a shape changing form. Before you follow the rules, ask yourself if they serve a purpose or are based solely on tradition. Brody concludes, "once you start thinking like that, you can tear everything apart."

CSS Process Overview
WHAT IS CONTEXT SENSITIVE SOLUTIONS (CSS)?
Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach that involves the community and all key stakeholders in the planning and design of a transportation facility that fulfills its purpose while complementing and enhancing the context in which it is situated. It is an approach that leads to preserving and enhancing scenic, aesthetic, cultural, historic, community and environmental resources, while maintaining or improving mobility, capacity and safety. The CSS process involves all stakeholders, including community members, interest groups, elected officials, and affected local, state and federal agencies. It puts project needs and both agency and community values on a level playing field and considers all trade-offs in the decision-making and project development process.
The I-49 Lafayette Connector CSS process was originally designed so that the 21 commitments in the 2003 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) Record of Decision (ROD) were fully addressed. The commitments identified key project-related features where minimization and mitigation measures to address adverse impacts, in addition to potential enhancements, would be required to implement the Selected Alternative, commonly referred to as the 2003 ROD Alternative. Furthermore, the Summary of Decision included within the ROD indicated that the LCG Corridor Preservation and Management Action Plan would be the guiding document for the I-49 Lafayette Connector design and construction integration. This document also supported a CSS-based approach to achieve the overriding stakeholder goals of enhancing "community connectedness" and building a "signature place," versus simply a "signature structure", through comprehensive project planning, design and implementation.
The CSS process was initiated in September 2015 with the intent to focus community outreach, discussion and debate primarily on the CSS design features of the 2003 ROD Alternative, it became very apparent that the community desired a more in-depth discussion and evaluation of potential refinements to that alternative. Twelve years had passed since the ROD and almost that many since the suspension of the last planning/design process, and the community had undergone significant change. In response to these community concerns, the DOTD/LCP Team conducted a Concept Refinement Process (CRP) in place of the CSS program in order to gather input from the community and project committees to complete what became the Alternatives Analysis of the Supplemental EIS (SEIS). The process included:
1. Review and discussion of the changes that had taken place in the community;
2. Identification of potential refinements to the 2003 ROD Alternative; and
3. Review those potential refinements from both community and technical perspectives, through a three-tiered evaluation process, eventually leading to a recommendation from the Executive Committee (EC) for environmental evaluation in the SEIS.
In accordance with the long-standing determination of the Path to Progress Report all Refinement Concept ideas considered during the CRP were along the Evangeline Thruway corridor. The CSS process became the Alternatives Analysis for the SEIS to reflect the community's desire to explore modifications to the 2003 ROD Alternative (e.g. elimination of Downtown interchanges, replaced by more neighborhood/Downtown friendly corridor connectivity, realignment of MLK Drive/Castille Avenue connection, simplification of the Kaliste Saloom and University/Surry interchanges to minimize airport impacts, height and design of mainline viaduct through the central area, cross corridor connectivity, multimodal accommodations, etc). The result was the identification of the Refinement Alternatives to be studied in the SEIS.
The I-49 Lafayette Connector CSS Program will strive to:
- Reach a common vision for the I-49 Lafayette Connector with the community and key stakeholders through a collaborative process that addresses three of levels of community context:
- Study Area Level I (I-49 Lafayette Connector right-of-way): transportation facilities and related features within the right-of-way
- Study Area Level II (immediate 500-foot influence area either side of corridor): enhancement of community cohesion and neighborhood connectivity on both sides of the right-of-way
- Study Area Level III (immediately impacted adjacent neighborhoods): assurance that Level I and II elements complement the revitalization program for immediately adjacent neighborhoods that is being addressed through the Evangeline Corridor Initiative
- Prepare the CSS Design Standards Manual for the final design and construction of a I-49 Lafayette Connector that provides regional mobility, excellent community access and a variety of features that complement Downtown and the adjacent neighborhoods:
- Structure the CSS process to facilitate informed project implementation phasing and rapid progression into final design and project construction
The I-49 Lafayette Connector CSS Program will be carried out through a two-tiered advisory group/committee structure. The DOTD has established the new Lafayette Connector Advisory Committee (LCAG), replacing the Community Work Group (LCAG) and Technical Advisory Committee utilized in the CRP and will continue to utilize the Executive Committee (EC), which is made up of the directors and senior staff of the Project Partner Agencies (FHWA, DOTD, MPO, LCG).
The LCAG and EC are scheduled to meet regularly and at key milestones in order to discuss and provide input and direction on design elements for the I-49 Lafayette Connector project. The design decisions made through this process will be compiled into the CSS Design Standards Manual for the project. The specific roles of the two committees are as follows:
- Lafayette Connector Advisory Group:
To provide combined community and technical input and recommendations on the various design feature areas and elements listed below under CSS Design Workshops.
- Executive Committee:
To review all recommendations from the LCAG, neighborhood outreach and public workshops and to make a recommendation to the DOTD and FHWA on the Preferred Alternative and the various mitigation measures, potential design enhancements and proposed joint use development projects identified through the CSS process.
In addition to the two-tiered advisory group/committee structure, neighborhood meetings will be held at key milestones with each existing neighborhood coterie and other organizations along the corridor; Partner Agency Meetings will be held concurrent with CSS Design Workshops to provide input on mitigation measures, potential design enhancements and proposed joint use development projects; and Public Workshops will be conducted at key milestones in the CSS Process to provide input to the Executive Committee.
- CSS Design Workshop #1: Core Area Mainline Structural Components
- Viaduct Profiles and Heights
- Bridge Bent Columns, Girders and Pier Types
- Parapet, Abutment and Retaining Wall Options
- CSS Design Workshop #2: Core Area Mainline Structural Components
- Signature Bridge
- Entryway Features
- CSS Design Workshop #3: Evangeline Thruway Corridor
- Grand Boulevard and Couplet Options
- Core Area Streets and Connectivity
- Bicycle and Pedestrian Features
- Urban Design Features
- Landscape Architectural Features
- CSS Design Workshop #4: Potential Gateways, Under Structure and Adjacent Uses
- North and South Gateways
- Willow, University/Surry and Kaliste Saloom Interchange Treatments
- Beaver Park Access
- Joint Use Opportunity options
- CSS Design Workshop #5: Corridor-Wide Features
- Lighting Types and Options
- Corridor-Wide Bicycle and Pedestrian Features
- Community Art, Culture and Historic Reference Integration
- CSS Design Workshop #6: Corridor-Wide Features
- Corridor-Wide Site Furnishing and Street Furniture Features
- Corridor-Wide Landscape Architectural Features
The CSS Design Standards Manual will document the Connector design feature areas and elements discussed, reviewed, analyzed, prioritized and accepted as project components by the DOTD and FHWA based on the Executive Committee (EC) recommendation of the Preferred Alternative. These recommendations will be the products of the 13-month CSS process discussed above, through all its community involvement, stakeholder outreach, agency coordination and Advisory Group/Committee work process.
The intent of the CSS Design Standards Manual is to inform the final design of the I-49 Lafayette Connector project and related improvements in regard to corridor aesthetic consistency, community integration and compliance with all stakeholder and community input. The initial design feature areas and elements of the I-49 Lafayette Connector were first defined by the community, staff and public officials in the initial CSS process that was not completed for the 2003 ROD Alternative. These will be revised and refined through this CSS process. These elements are key form-giving project components that fulfill the project's mobility objectives and have the ability to make the project a "signature place" of significant benefit to its surroundings; establish community connectedness between the neighborhoods and various districts along the corridor; and provide a sense of community integration and cohesion through thoughtful references to the region's history and culture.

text: Alkyl groups of tetraalkoxysilane have different chain lengths, which results in different reactivity of the sol–gel reaction. Hence, it is essential to understand the phase behavior for designing chemical processes using the sol–gel reaction. The phase behavior of CO2/tetrapropyl orthosilicate (TPOS) and CO2/tetrabutyl orthosilicate (TBOS) binary systems was measured. The experiments were performed using a synthetic method combined with a laser displacement measurement wherein the movement of the piston inside the high-pressure vessel was measured. The phase boundaries were determined at 313–373 K and CO2 molar fractions of 0.1–0.9. No significant difference was observed in the phase behavior of tetraalkoxysilanes, which have alkyl groups of different chain lengths. The experimentally obtained vapor–liquid equilibria of the two binary systems were correlated by the Sanchez–Lacombe equation of state using the original mixing rule reported by Sanchez et al. The results showed that molecular interaction parameter kij exhibits a clear temperature dependence.

Keep Perkins Quality. Keep Perkins Strong.
Vote FOR Perkins' Schools on May 2nd!
- Perkins Schools' operating levy on the May ballot is 6.9-mill levy to fund day-to-day operating costs for our schools.
- Perkins Schools has not had a new operating levy in 17 years. Even with passage of this levy, Perkins Schools will continue to look for responsible cost efficiencies to stretch operating dollars as long as possible.
- State funding reductions to Perkins Schools have resulted in the loss of millions of dollars for Perkins Schools. The Governor's recent proposed budget reflects an additional reduction in Perkins' state core funding for next year of more than 4%.
- Perkins teachers and staff have not had a base salary increase since 2008, and in the last few years – the district has eliminated more than forty teaching, administrative, and classified positions to reduce salary and healthcare costs.
- The State of Ohio has placed Perkins Schools under fiscal caution status, and a state audit is underway to make recommendations for additional reductions.
- This levy funding is critically needed to maintain Perkins' quality of education, including:
- Ensuring students have access to up-to-date courses, learning technology, and classroom materials so they
are prepared for college and good jobs.
- Continuing to offer gifted and advanced placement courses to students.
- Paying for fuel and bus services to ensure that reliable and safe transportation is available to students
throughout the community.
- Providing enough counselors, tutors, and nurses to support students' needs.
- Without this levy, our schools will have to cut dozens more teachers and staff, and make drastic cuts to programs, courses, transportation, and other student services.
- The Board of Education has reduced the millage amount in an effort to be responsive to the residents' input.The cost of this levy is less than $5 a week or about $20 a month per $100,000 of property value ($20.13/month or $4.65/week).
Paid for by Citizens for Perkins Schools, c/o Sally Burger, Deputy Treasurer, 4707 Hayes Avenue, Sandusky, OH 44870

Before you go shopping for a freezer, decide whether a chest freezer or an upright freezer would better meet your needs. Then choose a model based on size, capacity, and energy efficiency.
Placing your model
If you plan to keep the freezer in a living area, consider how noisy it is. Most manufacturers say that their freezers can operate in a room where the temperature is from 32 degree to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, though they also indicate that spaces colder than 32 degrees F will not affect freezer operation. If you plan to house the freezer in an unheated area, such as a garage, adhere to the manufacturer's specified operating range.
Sizing your model
Freezers, whether chest or upright, come in four basic sizes: compact (5 cubic feet), small (6 to 9 cubic feet), medium (12 to 18 cubic feet), and large (more than 18 cubic feet). Your choice should depend on available space and family needs.
Weigh blackout performance
Most manufacturers say that their freezers can keep food adequately frozen for 24 hours with the power off, as long as the freezer remains unopened. But our tests simulating a prolonged power failure revealed significant differences. Some uprights allowed a relatively large increase in temperature after only nine hours.
Keeping food from spoiling
Most of the chests and self-defrosting uprights we tested delivered impressive temperature performance, maintaining 0 degrees F quite evenly throughout their interior. But all of the manual-defrost upright models had trouble keeping their door shelves as cool as the rest of the interior.
Any frozen food that has reached temperatures above 40 degrees for more than two hours should be discarded. For guidelines on frozen-food safety, read the freezing and food safety guidelines from the Department of Agriculture and our advice on freezing foods.
Don't expect your new freezer to be quite as energy efficient as its yellow EnergyGuide label implies. On average, our latest tested models used 17 percent more energy. That's because our tests are tougher-and, we believe, more like real-world conditions-than those specified by the U.S. Department of Energy. We fill the freezers to capacity, whereas they're only 75 percent full in the DOE test. And we test for energy use with the center of the freezer actually at 0 degrees, the optimum temperature for storing frozen food, while manufacturers are allowed to extrapolate energy use at 0 degrees from test results above and below zero. Except for Energy Star products, the information on the labels relies on manufacturers' test data.

text: It is important, both at national and regional level, the development of markers that allow performing analysis of OO in order to highlighting issues such as quality certification, authentication, geographical and varietal traceability. EVOO traceability is gaining importance due to highquality OO demands, including olive oils with PDO labels or monovarietal ones withspecific characteristic related to the olive variety. There are two essential aspects on EVOO traceability: botanical and geographical ones, that are the core of this proposal. The following objectives can be drawn: 1) development of tools to assess botanical origin of OO; 2)development of tools to assess geographic origin of OO. These tools will allow us to address authentication and certification issues, ensuring that a certain OO is 1) an IGP; 2) a POD; 3) a monovarietal; 4) an organic one; 5) authentic OO (not adulterated with other vegetable oil).

Once you are there, countries like New Zealand, Australia and South Africa are the friendliest to new expats. But this question of which country is most friendly to incoming corporate workers has more to do with immigration practices.
- New Zealand
Canada continues to remain at the top of the list, with a fifth of its population being foreign-born, which is double that of the United States.
According to the Canadian government, few countries in the world can match Canada's embrace of immigration and integration. Last year, Canada admitted over 271,000 new permanent residents, the highest number since 2010. The top 10 countries from where permanent residents originated are:
ANGER about immigration is on the rise in many rich countries. Not so in Canada (see our briefing). A fifth of the country's population is foreign-born, about twice the share in America. In the 12 months to June 2016, Canada admitted 321,000 immigrants, nearly 1% of its population. Where do they come from?

НИИ Communication (Communications Research Institute) was a two day workshop in partnership with Nothing Specialists that gathered together professionals from various fields to explore and prototype new forms of communication for a post-internet society.
The workshop followed a set design process, where teams worked in parallel, presenting their work to each-other after each stage. Each day was a full cycle – from discovering the topic, to defining the problems, and then developing a set of possible tools and solutions.
Day one of the workshop was dedicated to research. The teams exploreed the theme, evaluated the problems and technicalities and then applied their thinking to a Russian cultural context. Each team then created a draft of their chosen project. The outcome was a detailed model of 'communication for a post-internet society'.
On day two, each team developed a prototype application of this model using the research findings from day one. Participants used a wide range of prototyping methods – and were encouraged to present explorations and speculative designs grounded in their own experience and knowledge.
A selected team will be invited to share their findings with global community at the FutureEverything Festival in Manchester in Feb 2015. More details will be announced soon.

Slurry Meter Replaces Obsolete Equipment
SCIAM's DM3 in-line, continuous density meter calculates density by measuring direct mass over a known volume within a flow tube. Compared to inferring or estimating values, direct calculation improves the accuracy and environmental viability of sensor and mass flow systems, says the company.
Designed to replace obsolete technologies, the DM3 reportedly has proven to be safer and more cost effective than nuclear techniques or inefficient auto sampling within any slurry processing operation. A highly resilient gum-rubber-lined flow tube with customization options for high-pressure and extreme-temperature applications enables the DM3 to measure abrasive media.


but a pinhole is not a lens, and as I understand it, for lenses (or optical systems in general??), the focal distance is defined not by the distance between the point and the imaging plane, but between the center of the lens and a point, given an input of parallel lines. Is that not correct? (Note: see video links on my comment to John's answer --… -- also, note that I'm genuinely asking; I'm relatively new to understanding optics at this level.) – lindes Dec 11 '10 at 1:42
Yes you are correct a pinhole has no focal length as the focal length describes a lenses ability to bend light, what I meant to say is that the effective focal length of a pinehole system is the distance between the pinhole and screen, i.e. it gives the same field of view as a lens with the same fl. The point is you need to make assumptions about an imaging system in order to predict how it will behave if you change one of the parameters without knowing the others. – Matt Grum Dec 11 '10 at 14:44

There is a property in the "%COLLATION_HOME%\etc\collation.properties" file that improves readability of the logs by separating the logging into per-sensor log files.
To enable this, set the following property:
If you do not set this property to true, default logging for all sensors is dumped in "%COLLATION_HOME%\log\services\DiscoveryManager.log". This property separates the logs into the following directories: "%COLLATION_HOME%\log\sensors\\sensorName-IP.log" ex: sensors/20070621131259/SessionSensor-10.199.21.104.log The runid includes the date of the discovery run and the log file name includes the sensor name and IP address of the target. When using this option, the logs are not automatically cleared, this must be done manually, if required.
The following logging levels are valid:
Setting the logging level for the Topology JVM to DEBUG can cause performance problems on some systems. You should set the level for this JVM to DEBUG only when you need to debug storage errors or other topology issues. If a problem takes more than a few minutes to reproduce, more space should be allocated for the Topology logs. Review the following properties in the collation.properties file, and increase the values of these properties as needed:
# File size of a rollover log file com.collation.log.filesize=20MB Number of logfiles before rollover com.collation.log.filecount=5
When all the space is used as allocated by the values of these properties, the oldest data is deleted. A common setting for most issues is to set the global logging level to DEBUG and set the logging level for the Topology JVM to INFO, as shown in the following example:

The River Ganges
A documentary film on various aspects of the river, in different locations, TV series.
Susan was invited to Bosnia by Dr Sam Osmanagich, in June 2017, at which time she shot visuals of many of the monuments and surrounding areas of the complex of newly discovered pyramids in the Visoko valley, just outside Sarajevo. She returned to Bosnia again in 2018 and 2019, culminating in her making the first draft of her movie on the Bosnian pyramid complex, in May 2020.
First Draft version of Susan's Bosnian movie
This is an artistic documentary containing 2 very prominent symbols, 'Crystal of Time' 'Diamond Lens, Doorway to Infinity' that she's made from examining the Bosnian Pyramid Complex at all possible levels, which themselves contain the meaning of aspects of Universal Truth in their makeup. These symbols are thus embedded into the timeline of the movie, so that they may transmit what they contain to the viewer, upon watching it.
Here, in the process of making this first draft of her movie on Bosnia, as well as in several, previous films Susan has made;
the art form of 'Kaleidoscopic Filmmaking' is born.
Now Susan will go through this first version, tidy up what's already there and polish it with its next layer of emanation.
Drops of Being
Firstly a film script will be written, based on the story told in 'Drops of Being' , which will subsequently be turned into a feature film.

Essay in NBR Special Report 107
U.S.-ROK Data Policy
Challenges and Opportunities
This chapter examines U.S. and South Korean approaches to data policy, including the barriers that arise from policy differences and the efforts made to find common ground and maximize cooperation.
In the first section, Nigel Cory points to several areas where the data policies of the Republic of Korea (ROK) are more stringent than those in the United States and discusses how these policies can hinder cross-border digital commerce. He notes that South Korea has made progress through updates to its data regulations and suggests that the country's growing participation in multilateral and plurilateral digital trade and economy agreements points toward further changes that align the ROK's data policy with like-minded trading partners. Key to the ROK's potential alignment is recognizing that less restrictive data regulations can better promote innovation and digital trade while still ensuring robust safeguards for the protection of personal data and national security.
In the second section, Nohyoung Park analyzes the impact of the 2023 amendments to South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). Noting that South Korea was an early adopter of data protection policies and has established one of the most robust data protection regimes in the world, he argues that the country has since updated and liberalized these policies to better facilitate digital commerce and cross-border data flows while still maintaining its desire for high levels of personal information protection for South Korean citizens. The PIPA amendments seek to achieve this balance in a number of ways. Moreover, through the introduction of a reciprocity principle, these policies seek to encourage other countries to strengthen their data protection policies in ways that enable greater exchanges of data containing personal information across borders.
- Differing approaches to data security and protection, cross-border data flows, and related data policies in South Korea have in some cases acted as barriers to stronger U.S.-ROK digital relations. Greater alignment on data policy issues is essential, as both countries share similar values and are well-positioned to be leaders in emerging digital technologies.
- Bilateral engagement mechanisms have not addressed long-standing barriers to greater digital cooperation and have not kept pace with technological changes. Updating and expanding Track 1.5 and Track 2 engagements, as well as other dialogue mechanisms, to include the appropriate stakeholders and address the latest technological developments could help mitigate challenges arising from policy differences.
- Bilateral cooperation needs to move from being reactive to proactive in identifying and talking about new data and technology policy issues. Early engagement helps ensure that each country's respective responses are not only aligned but reinforcing, and do not create new barriers to data and high-tech trade.
Nigel Cory is an Associate Director covering trade policy at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation and a Nonresident Fellow at the National Bureau of Asian Research.
Nohyoung Park is a Professor of Law at Korea University School of Law (KULS). Dr. Park would like to thank Sukhyun Jung, a research assistant at KULS, for her assistance with his section.


Why is lotion so oily?
Why is oil so oily?
Oil lubricates things. A lubricant is a film of liquid that prevents parts from touching, so they slide easily past one another.
When you get a lubricant on your fingers, one finger can't feel the other – they only feel the lubricant. They slide past one another, and we say they feel oily, since most oils make good lubricants.
Lubricants generally work because their molecules bind more tightly to the parts that would otherwise rub together than they do to one another. The oil we add to our machines sticks to the metal parts, so it stays on the metal as a coating. But the coatings themselves do not stick to one another, and instead just glide by.
Oil on your fingers works the same way, to make your fingers slip past one another, and thus feel slippery. Soap is also a good lubricant for fingers, because one end binds to the skin, and the other end is an oil, which does not bind to the oil ends of other soap molecules.
Many lotions contain oils. This is because we want to prevent loss of moisture from the skin, and a coating of oil will do that. What people don't like is a greasy feeling. Grease is a thick oil or fat that is only a lubricant when under pressure. It is thicker, and does not allow the skin surfaces to easily slide past one another.
Unsaturated oils can oxidize, which can make them form a plastic film that feels sticky and unclean. Lotions combat this in two ways – by adding ingredients that prevent oxidation, like Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) and Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, or ascorbyl palmitate), or by using saturated oils like mineral oil, which stays liquid and does not oxidize.
Most moisturizing lotions actually don't add much moisture to the skin. Instead, they use oils and fats to prevent moisture loss. After all, it is easy to moisturize your skin in a shower or a bath. The problem is keeping it moist after you leave the water.

The orientation of Dining Hall is considered with the situation that sun rays should fall on that area, because sun rays will kill all the harmful bacteria present in the stored food.
Here are some basic points one must keep in mind while designing Dining Hall.
- The most preferred direction for Dining Hall is the West corner of the house. However, if it not possible to set the Dining Hall in West then one can consider the South direction also.
- Dining hall should be set in adjacent to the Kitchen but never to the Toilet.
- The main door of the house and of the Dining Room should not face each other.
- The door of Puja Room or Toilet should not open in front of Dining Hall.
- The wash basin should be in East or Northwest side of the room.
- The shape of the dining table should be perfect square or rectangle.
- Dining table should not stick to the wall. But if it is unavoidable due to space constraints, then face it towards West of South. In no condition the dining table should stick to the Northeast corner.
- If you want to place a refrigerator in the dining room, it should be in southeast direction.
- While eating the members should face the East or North but never South.

If only….only if.
Rule 9.11 Ball-body contact and the related advice from the 2017 Umpire Manager's Briefing in shouting size with colour highlights.
The above Rule is very simple and the Explanation about how it is to be applied is reasonably straightforward, 'reasonable' depending on what is interpreted to be an advantage. So why is the application of Rule 9.11 so abysmally badly carried out in practice?
I think it indicative of the attitude taken to the Rules of Hockey by the Umpiring Committee that the text in the Rules is said, in the UMB, to reinforce the existing interpretation – instead of, as it should, declaring that the interpretation follows the text of the Rule and Explanation. Rules are not intended to reinforce interpretations that have arisen via umpire practice, umpires are supposed to be applying the Rules of Hockey, not making them, and the Explanation of application must, if there is to be consistency, be regarded as instruction, not just as advice or recommendation. But at least it is clearly stated in the UMB that the player only commits an offence if they gain advantage. Is that clear or does it in fact 'plant' the words "the player only commits an offence"? The above Rule Explanation, if it is read at all, appears to be 'skimmed' and applied as follows.
It is always an offence if the ball hits the foot of a field player. The player commits an offence if they stop the ball with their body.
The UMB leaves out the criterion of intentional ball-body contact, as well it might even if that should not have been left out, intentional ball-body (ball-foot) contact occurs about once in a thousand instances of such contact, if that. The gaining of an advantage following a ball body contact occurs in possibly 50% of instances but probably far less than that as the player is usually occupied trying to avoid being hit with the ball and if the player is hit the ball can rebound in any direction. Which team benefits is generally similar to the result of a coin toss, but it may be neither team, the ball might just run loose so that it can be evenly contested for. But a player who has been hit with the ball is penalised for ball-body contact in at least 95% of instances.
If, as seems to be the case, umpire coaches are striving to "take the whistle out of the game", penalising ball-body contact only when it ought to be penalised would be an excellent way to achieve that aim.
Here (video below) is an example of an umpire, during the 2017 Women's European Cup Final, BEL v NED, accepting a video referral from the NED team claiming a ball-foot contact. I suppose that, because the match umpire obviously could not make these judgements, not having seen the incident, intent to make contact or advantage gained from doing so would have to have been left to the judgement of the video umpire, even though video umpires are not supposed to make these subjective judgements (see Tournament Regs. Appendix 15) – but only to make recommendation to the match umpire based on what is seen – which seems to me to be a contradiction which places both the match umpire and the video umpire in an impossible position: but on we go.
The BEL goalkeeper deflects the ball with her stick onto the foot of a defender positioned very close to her. This was an unintentional contact by the BEL defender, she could not avoid being hit. The ball then deflects away from the hit defender, was missed by a NED attacker – who immediately ran to the umpire to request a video referral – the ball then continues into the possession of another NED attacker without a BEL player being able to gain possession of it. The NED player then in possession passed the ball to a team-mate and an attack on the BEL goal proceeded, but was halted by the umpire who had stopped time for the video referral. Naturally the video umpire confirmed there was a ball-foot contact and a penalty corner was 'automatically' awarded.
(What would have happened if the NED team had played the ball into the BEL goal before time was stopped, but while one of their number was occupying the attention of the umpire with a video referral request?)
Why didn't the video umpire see and report that the BEL team had gained no advantage from the ball leg contact of one of its defenders. It is in any case unlikely that a team will gain an advantage following the disadvantage of having their goalkeeper play the ball into the body/legs of one of her own team. A gain of advantage became an impossibility when the ball then deflected off that defender into the possession of a member of the opposing NED team and the NED team were then able to play on and make an attack on the BEL goal. That the NED player closest to the defender failed to intercept the ball is irrelevant, the NED team gained an advantage so the BEL team could not have done so – therefore no offence occurred. I can see that from the play and I trust that anybody looking at the incident with an impartial eye would also. The answer to my question is I believe, that it is likely that this trained video umpire did not bother to look beyond the fact that ball contact with the leg of a BEL defender had occurred. Penalty just flowed, automatically and incorrectly, from the fact of ball-leg contact
What happened in this incident is pretty much the standard ignoring of the Explanation of Application given with Rule 9.11. thereby ignoring the criteria for a ball body contact offence to have occurred. The BEL team gained no advantage from the contact, on the contrary, if the ball-foot contact had not occurred the ball deflected by the goalkeeper would I believe have run to another BEL player further away from her and not into the possession of the NED player it was deflected towards off the BEL defender. That could have been ascertained in less than three seconds following the contact.
The umpire could correctly have penalised the ball shielding of the NED right flank player prior to her passing the ball into the goalmouth, a pass which led to the goalkeeper deflecting the ball away from the goal-line. But ignoring ball shielding is also pretty much standard practice – which is why ball shielding at every opportunity is standard practice for players. This is an area where the whistle really has been taken out of the game – almost completely.
Is there something beyond the reach of translation or beyond literal interpretation of word meaning in the text of Rule 9.11 and the Explanation provided with it? Are the words 'only' and 'if' being made to do too much work? Could the Rule be reworded so that it ceases to be so badly applied? How about Ball-body contact is not an offence unless the player hit with the ball…. But I think not, almost everything, including various rewording of the same criteria, has already been tried without making any difference whatsoever to 'practice'.
"Ball-body (foot) contact is an offence" is a meme, which umpires have been unable to get out of their heads for thirty or more years, despite the considerable efforts of the HRB and the FIH Rules Committee to get them to change that approach. It is a meme which will be heard repeated in every explanation of the Rules of Hockey offered by contributors to YouTube (including England Hockey), in many an International level player stands before the camera and informs viewers that this is a fact. This 'fact' was also contained in the video made by the FIH, to give an idea of the Rules of the game to people who might be watching hockey for the first time during the WWC.
That raising the ball from close range into the legs or body of an opponent is always an offence is very rarely mentioned (perhaps because seeing an umpire penalise a player so hit, which is common, would confuse viewers?).
I believe an entirely new approach to ball-body contact is required.

This fall, Davis-Thomas Elementary Middle School will begin integrating a new educational model that will incorporate each subject of study into an overall theme of environmental sustainability.
Tucker County Superintendent of Schools Eddie Campbell said the idea is to move past the traditional classroom model of education and find ways to open up new possibilities.
"We want to put our energy into the concept of sustainability and environmental responsibility because we think it will foster a good connection for the kids. When they can make a connection to what they are studying, they are going to learn it better. We want to find a way to connect learning to what the kids are doing in the community. That is where we are coming from," Campbell said.

Jennifer Newland, executive director of the Canaan Valley Institute, explains the benefits of the new partnership between CVI and the Tucker County Board of Education to board members at a recent meeting.
The new model is grounded in integrated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education, but Campbell said Davis Thomas will be including subjects from the humanities and arts into its study of environmental sustainability.
"If we are studying a particular topic that has to do with trout habitat, we are going to be looking at the history involved in that. Reading and writing components will also be involved. We are going to bring all of those curricular areas together around the theme of sustainability."
The school will also be collaborating with the Canaan Valley Institute and the National Youth Science Foundation in order to diversify the educational opportunities available to its students.
Jennifer Newland, CVI's executive director, said CVI is interested in assisting Davis-Thomas's efforts to make their curriculum more science based in any way they can.
"We have considerable experience with developing science-based curriculums in other schools," she said. "Since CVI was founded, education has been one of our fundamental activities and we are dedicated to working with Tucker County schools on science and environmental education."
Much of Campbell's inspiration for Davis Thomas' new model, it seems, came from a visit to Crellin Elementary School in Oakland, Md., a school in which CVI previously helped develop a similar educational model.
Vicki Fenwick-Judy, CIV's education coordinator, explained that Crellin's students study a specific topic from the perspective of different school subjects.
Most recently, they studied energy and this involved projects such as the creation of a Leggo waterwheel which incorporated mathematics and engineering.
Since Crellin's transition to this model of education, Fenwick-Judy said its students have truly blossomed.
In 2010, Crellin was recognized for having the highest standardized test scores in Maryland. They also have recently received the Intel School of Distinction for Elementary Mathematics, a national award that included $10,000 and equipment and services worth $100,000.
Fenwick-Judy said, "The school consistently produces fantastic critical and creative thinkers."
Campbell said he was immensely impressed by his visit to Crellin.
"I saw kids that were engaged and thrilled about being in school. You can feel it when you walk into the school. You can hear it in the students' and teachers' voices. They are really excited about what they are learning. It is an awesome educational environment."
Based on the strength of his impression, Campbell approached Davis-Thomas' staff about developing a similar program.
"They are thrilled about it," he said. "For them, it will be a chance to get back into creative ways of teaching - it is a real lift for them."
Daryla Rapp, Davis Thomas' principal, agreed that the school's staff is excited at the prospect of the new model.
"When Dr. Campbell presented the opportunity to our staff, they were all very excited. We think this will be a great opportunity."

Hello World in DartPublished on 01 November 2018 (Updated: 15 October 2020)
In this article, we're tackling Hello World in Dart, another great language developed by Google.
How to Implement the Solution
Coming from a Java background, the following snippet of code is downright stripped to the barebones.
void main() => print('Hello, World!');
In order to implement Hello World in Dart, developers need to understand only three concepts like main methods, strings, and arrow functions. But look at the code above, it seems deceptively easy, right?
What is going on is "main()" only does one thing, print the phrase "Hello, World!". We'll dig into how and why all of this happens in a bit. But it's important to step away for a bit and just look at what's there and acknowledge how simple it is.
In a Dart project, only one class would have a main method ("main()"). A main method is how every Dart program knows where to start. Therefore, every program must have exactly one of these main methods implemented. Don't worry too much about the syntax. Just know that we need a main method.
Then we have to output our greeting ("Hello, World!") to the command line. To do so, we have to leverage a static method out of Dart's built-in library. It's the "print" statement. It's a method like "main()" only difference is we put a string inside the parentheses. It tells the computer to take the string and print out so we can read it.
The last concept are arrow functions ("=>"). These are methods like print or, in this case, main that only do one thing. Because they only do one thing, we can use "=>" from the method's definition ("main()") directly to the logic. Other more complex methods may require the use of "return". But that's not required in this case.
How to Run the Solution

SQL Server, User Settable Object

Applies To: SQL Server 2016
The User Settable object in Microsoft SQL Server allows you to create custom counter instances. Use custom counter instances to monitor aspects of the server not monitored by existing counters, such as components unique to your SQL Server database (for example, the number of customer orders logged or the product inventory).
The User Settable object contains 10 instances of the query counter: User counter 1 through User counter 10. These counters map to the SQL Server stored procedures sp_user_counter1 through sp_user_counter10. As these stored procedures are executed by user applications, the values set by the stored procedures are displayed in System Monitor. A counter can monitor any single integer value (for example, a stored procedure that counts how many orders for a particular product have occurred in one day).
System_CAPS_ICON_note.jpg Note
The user counter stored procedures are not polled automatically by System Monitor. They must be explicitly executed by a user application for the counter values to be updated. Use a trigger to update the value of the counter automatically. For example, to create a counter that monitors the number of rows in a table, create an INSERT and DELETE trigger on the table that executes the following statement: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table. Whenever the trigger is fired because of an INSERT or DELETE operation occurring on the table, the System Monitor counter is automatically updated.
This table describes the SQL Server User Settable object.
SQL Server User Settable countersDescription
QueryThe User Settable object contains the query counter. Users configure the User counters within the query object.
This table describes the instances of the Query counter.
Query counter instancesDescription
User counter 1Defined using sp_user_counter1.
User counter 2Defined using sp_user_counter2.
User counter 3Defined using sp_user_counter3.
User counter 10Defined using sp_user_counter10.
To make use of the user counter stored procedures, execute them from your own application with a single integer parameter representing the new value for the counter. For example, to set User counter 1 to the value 10, execute this Transact-SQL statement:
EXECUTE sp_user_counter1 10
The user counter stored procedures can be called from anywhere other stored procedures can be called, such as your own stored procedures. For example, you can create the following stored procedure to count the number of connections and attempted connections since an instance of SQL Server was started:
DROP PROC My_Proc
GO
CREATE PROC My_Proc
AS
 EXECUTE sp_user_counter1 @@CONNECTIONS
GO
The @@CONNECTIONS function returns the number of connections or attempted connections since an instance of SQL Server started. This value is passed to the sp_user_counter1 stored procedure as the parameter.
System_CAPS_ICON_important.jpg Important
Make the queries defined in the user counter stored procedures as simple as possible. Memory-intensive queries that perform substantial sort or hash operations or queries that perform large amounts of I/O are expensive to execute and can impact performance.
sp_user_counter is available for all users but can be restricted for any query counter.

What Is It?
An infection inside the tip of the finger can form an enclosed pocket of pus (or abscess) that is very painful as it expands. A felon is a fingertip abscess deep in the palm side of the finger. It usually is caused by bacterial infection, but a herpes virus called herpetic whitlow and, more rarely, fungi also can cause felons.
Felons usually are caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. It is important to get treatment quickly for these small abscesses. If the bacteria pocket continues to expand, it can compress blood vessels in the finger and cut off the fingertip's circulation, causing in permanent damage to the finger. Also, an untreated felon can spread its infection to the bone within the finger. This can lead to a more serious infection, called osteomyelitis, which takes much longer to cure.

Basically you want binary scientific notation. That is, you want your number to be of the form 2α, and you need to split α into its integral and its fractional part, α = k + β, with β < 1 and k ∈ ℤ.
To find α, take logarithms: α = log2123.45678 − 22 log210.
The integral part of the exponent, k, is stored in the exponent field of the IEEE float (after adjusting by the bias), and the fractional part 2β is stored in the mantissa (omitting the leading 1).
