Then, it's necessary to decide how to store data from the master database. The main difficulty within this task is that tables may have different structures. The most obvious option is to create a temporary table for each synchronized table and upload data into it. However, such option may be not optimal because we will have to execute many DDL commands.
Therefore, we suggest to solve this task by means of XML, that can describe almost any database entity. The disadvantage of the suggested method is that not quite a correct XML data structure may be generated for some data types. You can retrieve a list of such data types with the following query:
SELECT t.name
FROM sys.types t
WHERE t.user_type_id != t.system_type_id

Let's write a query to create XML with dynamic structure:
DECLARE
@Data NVARCHAR(4000)
,
@ObjectName NVARCHAR(300)
DECLARE [tables] CURSOR READ_ONLY FAST_FORWARD LOCAL FOR
SELECT
[object_name]
, [sql] = '
INSERT INTO tempdb.dbo.MergeTemp([object_name], data)
SELECT '''
+ quota_object_name + ''', (SELECT ' + object_columns + '
FROM '
+ quota_object_name + ' t
FOR XML AUTO, ROOT('''
+ [object_name] + '''))'
FROM (
SELECT
[object_name] = s.name + '.' + t.name
, quota_object_name = '[' + s.name + '].[' + t.name + ']'
, object_columns = STUFF((
SELECT ISNULL(', [' + c.name + '] = NULLIF([' + c.name + '], ' + c2.[definition] + ')',
', [' + c.name + ']')
+
CASE WHEN b.name = 'varbinary'
THEN ' = CAST('''' AS XML).value(''xs:base64Binary(sql:column("'+ c.name +'"))'',''VARCHAR(MAX)'')'
ELSE ''
END
FROM
sys.columns c WITH (NOLOCK)
JOIN sys.types b WITH (NOLOCK) ON b.user_type_id = c.system_type_id AND b.user_type_id = b.system_type_id
LEFT JOIN sys.default_constraints c2 ON c.default_object_id = c2.[object_id]
AND b.name IN ('char', 'nchar', 'ntext', 'nvarchar', 'text', 'varchar')
WHERE t.[object_id] = c.[object_id]
AND c.is_computed = 0
ORDER BY c.column_id
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE, ROOT).value('root[1]', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,
1, 2, '')
FROM (
SELECT
o.[object_id]
, o.[schema_id]
, o.name
FROM sys.objects o WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE o.[type] = 'U'
AND EXISTS(
SELECT 1
FROM sys.partitions p WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE p.[object_id] = o.[object_id]
AND p.[rows] > 0
)
AND NOT EXISTS(
SELECT 1
FROM sys.columns c WITH (NOLOCK)
JOIN sys.types t WITH (NOLOCK) ON c.system_type_id = t.system_type_id
WHERE (c.user_type_id != c.system_type_id OR t.name = 'xml')
AND
c.[object_id] = o.[object_id]
)
)
t
JOIN sys.schemas s WITH (NOLOCK) ON t.[schema_id] = s.[schema_id]
) data
OPEN [tables]
FETCH NEXT FROM [tables] INTO @ObjectName, @Data
IF (@@FETCH_STATUS = -1)
RAISERROR('Have nothing to export...', 16, 1)
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
EXEC
sys.sp_executesql @Data
FETCH NEXT FROM [tables] INTO @ObjectName, @Data
END
CLOSE
[tables]
DEALLOCATE [tables]
Where, the following query will be generated for each table:
INSERT INTO tempdb.dbo.MergeTemp ([object_name], data)
SELECT <TABLE name>,
(
SELECT <columns list>
FROM <TABLE name> t
FOR XML AUTO, ROOT('<table name>')
)
After such query is executed, an XML with table data will be generated and written into the MergeTemp table.
3) Disabling relations and triggers between the tables of the master database for the time of synchronization
At the next stage, we will insert data into tables, therefore it's preferably to turn off foreign keys and triggers. If you do not, various errors may appear at the inserting stage.
Here is a script to turn off/on foreign keys for tables:
DECLARE
@FKeysOff NVARCHAR(MAX)
,
@FKeysOn NVARCHAR(MAX)
;
WITH fkeys AS
(
SELECT DISTINCT o.[object_name]
FROM tempdb.dbo.MergeTemp mt
JOIN (
SELECT
o.[object_id]
, [object_name] = '[' + s.name + '].[' + o.name + ']'
FROM sys.objects o
JOIN sys.schemas s ON o.[schema_id] = s.[schema_id]
JOIN sys.foreign_keys fk ON o.[object_id] = fk.parent_object_id
WHERE o.[type] = 'U '
) o ON mt.[object_name] COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT = o.[object_name] COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT
)
SELECT
@FKeysOff = (
SELECT 'ALTER TABLE ' + fk.[object_name] + ' NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL;' + CHAR(13)
FROM fkeys fk
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE, ROOT).value('root[1]', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,
@FKeysOn = (
SELECT 'ALTER TABLE ' + fk.[object_name] + ' CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL;' + CHAR(13)
FROM fkeys fk
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE, ROOT).value('root[1]', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
EXEC sys.sp_executesql @FKeysOff
EXEC sys.sp_executesql @FKeysOn
This query seems cumbrous and it doesn't take into account more complicated relations between tables. In case when the database contains relatively few tables, the following query (turning off all table triggers and foreign keys in the database) may be used:
EXEC sys.sp_msforeachtable '
ALTER TABLE ? DISABLE TRIGGER ALL
ALTER TABLE ? NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL '
4) Data synchronization between tables
We have already access to data from the master database stored in XML.
With the following query we can find the unique identifier of the database object we are going to synchronize:
SELECT
o.[object_id]
, mt.[object_name]
FROM tempdb.dbo.MergeTemp mt
JOIN (
SELECT
o.[object_id]
, [object_name] = '[' + s.name + '].[' + o.name + ']'
FROM sys.objects o
JOIN sys.schemas s ON o.[schema_id] = s.[schema_id]
WHERE o.[type] = 'U '
) o ON mt.[object_name] COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT = o.[object_name] COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT
It's important to note that the object identifier (object_id) is unique in the database and may be changed when the schema is modified (e.g., adding a new column). That's why, initially, we were wrote the name of the object instead of its identifier. To synchronize tables, we need to parse data from XML.
As an option, for this, you can use the OPENXML construction:
DECLARE @IDoc INT
EXEC
sys.sp_xml_preparedocument @IDoc OUTPUT, @XML
SELECT [<column name>]
FROM OPENXML(@IDoc, '<table name>/t')
WITH ([<column name>] [<column datetype>]
EXEC sys.sp_xml_removedocument @IDoc

However, this approach is less effective when parsing significantly large XML structures. Therefore, it was decided to use the construction described below:
Here is an example of a query, that will generate dynamic SQL by XML parsing and synchronization with the target table:
DECLARE
@ObjectID INT
,

What is Earnings Before Interest & Tax - EBIT
Earnings before interest and taxes is an indicator of a company's profitability. One can calculate it as revenue minus expenses, excluding tax and interest. EBIT is calculated as:
EBIT = Revenue - Operating Expenses
EBIT = Net Income + Interest + Taxes
EBIT is also referred to as operating earnings, operating profit, and profit before interest and taxes.
EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes)
BREAKING DOWN Earnings Before Interest & Tax - EBIT
Earnings before and taxes measures the profit a company generates from its operations, making it synonymous with operating profit. By ignoring tax and interest expenses, it focuses solely on a company's ability to generate earnings from operations, ignoring variables such as the tax burden and capital structure.
This focus makes EBIT an especially useful metric for certain applications. For example, if an investor is thinking of buying a firm out, the existing capital structure is less important than the company's earning potential. Similarly, if an investor is comparing companies in an industry that operate in different tax environments and have different strategies for financing themselves, tax and interest expenses would distract from the core question: How effectively do these companies generate profits from their operations?
There are different ways to go about calculating EBIT, which is not a GAAP metric and therefore not usually included in financial statements. Always begin with total revenue or total sales and subtract operating expenses, including the cost of goods sold. You may take out one-time or extraordinary items, such as the revenue from the sale of an asset or the cost of a lawsuit, as these do not relate to the business' core operations, but these may also be included. If a company has non-operating income, such as income from investments, this may be—but does not have to be—included; in that case, EBIT is distinct from operating income, which, as the name implies, does not include non-operating income.
Often, companies include interest income in EBIT, but some may exclude it depending on its source. If the company extends credit to its customers as an integral part of its business, then this interest income is a component of operating income and a company will always include it. If, on the other hand, the interest income derives from bond investments, or charging fees to customers that pay their bills late, it may be excluded. As with the other adjustments mentioned, this one is up to the investor's discretion, and should be applied consistently to all companies being compared.
In the simplest terms, one can calculate EBIT by taking the net income figure from the income statement and adding the income tax expense and interest expense back in. Put a different way, operating expenses are subtracted from total revenue. As an example, we'll use Procter & Gamble Co's income statement from the year ending June 30, 2016 (all figures in millions of USD):
|Cost of products sold||32,909|
|Selling, general and administrative expense||18,949|
|Other non-operating income, net||325|
|Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes||13,369|
|Income taxes on continuing operations||3,342|
|Net earnings (loss) from discontinued operations||577|
|Less: net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests||96|
|Net earnings attributable to Procter & Gamble||10,508|
To calculate EBIT, we subtract the cost of goods sold and the selling, general and administrative expense from the net sales. We then add non-operating income and interest income to get an EBIT of:
EBIT = Net Sales - COGS - SGA Expense + Non-Operating Income + Interest Income
EBIT = $65,299 - $32,909 - $18,949 + $325 + $182 = $13,948
For the fiscal year ended 2015, P&G had a Venezuelan charge. Whether to include the Venezuela charge raises questions. As mentioned above, a company can exclude one-time expenses. In this case, a note in the 2015 earnings release explained that the company was continuing to operate in the country though subsidiaries. Due to capital controls in effect at the time, however, P&G was taking a one-time hit to remove Venezuelan assets and liabilities from its balance sheet.
Similarly, one can make an argument for excluding interest income and other non-operating income from the equation. These considerations are to some extent subjective, but one should apply consistent criteria to all companies being compared.
Another way to calculate P&G's fiscal 2015 EBIT is to work from the bottom up, beginning with the net earnings. We ignore non-controlling interests, as we're only concerned with the company's operations, and subtract the net earnings from discontinued operations for much the same reason. We then add income taxes and interest expense back in to obtain the same EBIT we did via the top-down method:
EBIT = Net Earnings - Net Earnings from Discontinued Operations + Income Taxes + Interest Expense
Therefore, EBIT = $10,604 - $577 + $3,342 + $579 = $13,948

WHAT IS THE SCIENCE OF THE NAVEL DISPLACEMENT AND THE RELATED CURE?
By now, it's a common knowledge in Bharat and other countries that a displaced navel can be brought back to its original central position by using a simple technique involving the use of a lit camphor and an inverted glass. But, why and how does the cure actually take place?
Dr Swaamee Aprtemaanandaa Jee had several years ago in the year 2013 in an article dated January 19th, 2013 titled "NAVEL DISPLACEMENT – SIMPLEST APRTEMA SELF-HALP WAYS OF SWAAMEE APR... had described the simple technique of bringing the displaced navel to its centre.
The present brief scientific research paper makes an advanced attempt to understand and elucidate the underlying mechanism that helps remove the navel displacement.
Dr Swaamee Aprtemaanandaa Jee's scientific theory and explanation
Let's, first of all understand the biology or the physical structure of the navel in the Maanava shareer.
(1) THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NAVEL
The navel/umbilicus or the belly button is hollowed in structure. Though, it is occasionally found to be protruding from the abdomen where the umbilical cord is connected. It is generally located perpendicular to the point between the L3 and L4 vertebrae in most Maanavas. In some cases it may vary between L3 and L5 vertebrae.
The navel consists of two parts: Umbilical Tip and Periumbilical skin. The umbilical tip is the central part of the Navel that often is called the Belly or Tummy button owing to its button-like shape. It is encircled by the Periumbilical skin.
The umbilical tips rising above the level of the Periumbilical skin are known as the Outies and the one below its level the Innies.
(2) THE FUNCTION OF THE NAVEL
According to the Yoga-texts, the navel corresponds to the Manipur chakra in the spinal cord.
It is the point where the Smaan Vaayu resides. It is at this location that the Praann Vaayu and the Apaana Vaayu interact.
The healthy interaction causes the production of the Smaan Vaayu whose presence biologically reflects the existence of a healthy working of the digestive system. The unforeseen events such as the Navel displacement leads to an unhealthy interaction, thereby disturbing the production of the Smaan Vaayu which in turn causes unhealthy disturbances in the digestive system. This may cause loose motions or the diarrhoea which makes the person fall ill.
Also called the Solar Plexus, it is considered biologically to be the most important or the central part of the Maanava shareer having the same level of significance that the Sun has in the Solar system. Just as the Sun is the prime source of the energy for all the planets of the Solar system so is the Solar Plexus or the Navel region to the whole Maanava shareer.
Navel represents the point in the Maanava shareer where the digestive function takes place which in turn produces the energy required for the overall smooth functioning and physical survival of the Maanava shareer.
Although this topic is purely related to the displacement of the Navel yet it is useful to know a few artificial functions of Navel that have been developed by the Maanavas. These include using the point of the location of Navel to divide the abdomen into quadrants for academic purposes and carrying out incision at this location for various surgeries such as Transgastric Appendecectomy, Gall bladder surgery, etc., to reduce the scarring of the patient's shareer.
(3) WHY AND HOW THE DISPLACED NAVEL IS BROUGHT BACK TO ITS OWN POSITION
It is a common knowledge that the wind blows from a high pressure area into a low pressure area. This creates a meteorological phenomenon called the cyclone over the low pressure area which then may experience rainy or stormy weather.
On the other hand, the area from where the winds blow outwards experiences a clear weather and the resultant phenomenon is termed the anti-cyclone.
The low pressure area is created by the intense heating of the surface. The heated surface then attracts the relatively colder air streams or winds from the adjoining areas.
Somewhat similar (though not exactly a replica) process takes place during the treatment for bringing back the navel to its original position.
The area covered by the glass includes the original location-point of the Navel and its adjacent surface.
The lit-camphor creates the heat. The glass covering the lit-camphor captures the heat generated and does not allow it to escape.
The camphor extinguishes soon with no supply of oxygen from outside the glass with the glass turning into a blocked chamber from all sides.
The heat so generated creates a low pressure area on the surface of the belly that is within the boundaries of the glass placed over it.
Obviously, the surface area outside the circular boundary of the glass remains relatively colder and therefore turns into a high pressure area.
But, the rim of the glass placed on the belly and the glass becomes a wall between the low pressure area that is within the boundaries of the glass and the high pressure area outside its boundaries.
So long as the glass is not removed, the high pressure area outside the glass remains cut off from the low pressure area within the glass.
The displaced Navel and other parts acquire the high pressure property.
Once the glass and the extinguished lamp/camphor are lifted up from the Navel area then the low pressure area on and around the Navel-location becomes an easy target for the high pressure area around.
Thus, a skinular/muscular/nervular cyclone develops on the enclosed Navel-location and the adjacent skin/muscles/spinal nervular area.
One of the three actions takes place:
(1) The high pressure so created on the adjacent skin/muscles/spinal nerve (T10 Dermatome) pushes the Navel to the centre.
(2) The Navel which has acquired the high-pressure property rushes to the centre.
(3) Both the adjacent skin/muscles/spinal nerve (T10 Dermatome) and Navel rush toward the low-pressure area on the Navel-location.
The final result is that the Navel is pulled back to its own original central location.

History of Chemistry in Cork
Chemistry in Cork has long and deep roots which date back as far as Robert Boyle (1626 - 1691). Boyle, who was a son of the first Earl of Cork and was born in Lismore near Cork, was one of the great early scientists. His experimental findings brought to an end the era of alchemy and led to the foundation of modern chemistry.
The Royal Cork Institution and Queen's College Cork
Boyle's influence in Cork persisted long after. A scientific institute that had been founded earlier was incorporated by royal Charter in 1807 to become the Royal Cork Institution (_PHONE_). It was subsidised by a descendent of Boyle. Four professors were employed, including a Professor of Chemistry. One of the holders of this professorship was Edmund Davy, a cousin of the famed Sir Humphry Davy.
While in Cork, he developed his research on the chemistry of platinum, water hardness, and the chemistry of foodstuffs such as milk and flour. When financial difficulties led to the demise of the Cork Institution, the strong reaction among the business community in Cork led to the promotion of a scheme for provincial colleges with power to confer degrees. The past success of the Cork Institution paved the way, and in 1845 the Colleges Bill established the three Queen's Colleges at Cork, Belfast, and Galway.
The 20th century
Although the first President of Queen's College Cork, Sir Robert Kane FRS, was a noted scholar in both medicine and chemistry, the activities of Chemistry were initially confined to training medical and engineering students. With the introduction of the Universities Bill, a Faculty of Science was instituted and a new building for Chemistry and Physics was completed in 1910. Between 1910 and 1960, Chemistry had a succession of professors, but it was not until the appointment of Francis Leslie Scott that major changes occurred. It was mainly his success and drive as an academic that led to the completion of the current Science Building in 1970. Chemistry now expanded rapidly with the appointment of professorships in organic, physical, inorganic, and more recently in analytical chemistry and in pharmaceutical chemistry. Its graduates were of such calibre that many international pharmaceutical companies opted to manufacture in the greater Cork area on a large scale, with numerous Cork graduates appointed to academic posts throughout Ireland.
The last decade has seen a robust expansion of the department's facilities and personnel, in line with the booming Irish economy and the need for a more highly trained workforce. The need for more research space has been met by the construction of the new Cavanagh Pharmacy building and the Environmental Research Institute, both of which have outstanding laboratory facilities. New personnel have added strength to the school's research programmes: in addition to our long-standing excellence in synthetic work and close links with pharmaceutical chemistry, the department has built up new areas of strength in materials chemistry and nanoscience, separation science and chemical sensors, and atmospheric chemistry. Chemistry continues to be a leading discipline at the University College Cork and is recognised internationally for the calibre of its graduates and research.

For more than five years, scientists at the South Pole Telescope in Antarctica have been observing the sky with an upgraded camera. The extended gaze toward the cosmos is picking up remnant light from the universe's early formation. Now researchers have analyzed an initial batch of data, publishing details in the journal Physical Review D. The results from this limited dataset hint at even more powerful future insights about the nature of our universe.
Located at the National Science Foundation's Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, the telescope received a new camera in 2017 known as SPT-3G, which was constructed and now operated by a collaboration led by the University of Chicago.


Gaussian bubble clusters
Suppose I ask you to divide \(\mathbb{R}^n\) into two pieces of fixed Gaussian measure so that the surface area of the boundary is as small as possible. The Gaussian isoperimetric inequality states that the best way to do it is by cutting \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with a hyperplane:

Gaussian noise sensitivity
Suppose that \(X\) and \(Y\) are positively correlated standard Gaussian vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). Define the noise sensitivity of \(A \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) to be the probability that \(X \in A\) and \(Y \not \in A\). Borell proved that for any \(a \in (0,1)\), half-spaces minimize the noise sensitivity subject to the constraint \(\mathrm{Pr}(X \in A)=a\). This inequality can be seen as a strengthening of the Gaussian isoperimetric inequality: in the limit as the correlation goes to one the noise sensitivity is closely related to the surface area, because if \(X \in A\) and \(Y \not \in A\) are close together then they're probably both close to the boundary of \(A\). From a more applied point of view, Borell's inequality and its discrete relatives played a surprising and crucial role in studying hardness of approximation in theoretical computer science. ...more

Hopscotch, choreographed by Hélène Cathala, explores the predicament of five individuals caught in a game where the rules are constantly changing. Confronting the reality of being part of a group, they ask: How do we deal with rules? How can we trick each other? How can we survive? Do we struggle or surrender? Although childish and sometimes unreasonable, the rules of the game reveal a framework which could be a metaphor for our lives: Games can turn to cruelty and a playground can become a battlefield, but with the but with the start of each new game, joy and energy re-appear.

Who Made Allah?
Who created God?
God has revealed himself to us in the Bible as having always existed..
Is Allah Yahweh?
How old is the Quran?
1,370 years oldRadiocarbon dating found the manuscript to be at least 1,370 years old, making it among the earliest in existence. The pages of the Muslim holy text had remained unrecognised in the university library for almost a century.
Is God a pronoun?
In the case of Bete, the word laagO "God" has taken on a new meaning. It still means "God", but it also means "religion". Thus some speakers have changed pronouns for God to prevent ambiguity. … If the item referred to is a human being, the human set of pronouns is automatically used.
Where did Allah come from?
When was Allah invented?
Is Allah a male?
The oneness of God is of primary importance in the Quran and Islam. In the Quran, Allah is most often referred to with the pronouns Hu or Huwa, and although these are commonly translated as "him", they can also be translated gender-neutrally, as "them". This is also true of the feminine equivalent, Hiya.
What is the oldest religion?
Do Muslims believe in God?
Muslims believe that God is the only true reality and sole source of all creation. Everything including its creatures are just a derivative reality created out of love and mercy by God's command, "…"Be," and it is." and that the purpose of existence is to worship or to know God.
Who is the real God?
When was Adam and Eve born?
Who is the creator of Allah?
How did Allah create himself?

How to Stop Voice From Changing When Nervous
Nervousness can have a negative impact on how you speak
Image Credit: BakiBG/iStock/Getty Images
If you are nervous when you are speaking, that can cause a noticeable change in your voice tone. A shaky voice conveying nerves can be a big issue, whether you are making a public speech or having an important one-on-one conversation. Conveying nervousness in your voice tone or body language can reduce your chances of success in anything from a job interview to a date.
Step 1
Convey confidence when you speak. Rather than concentrating on not messing up, aim to project confidence and authority in your voice tone. This makes you seem more knowledgeable and lends more weight to the points you are making. Motivational speaker and communication specialist Rachel Green cites voice volume as a major factor in confident communication. Green says that confident communication is easy to hear, but quiet speech can convey nervousness.
Step 2
Put energy and effort into your diction and pronunciation when speaking. A common sign of nervousness is when your words fade away or sound mumbled at the end of a sentence. Common sounds that can waver when you are nervous include the sounds of the letters T, D and K. Practice repeating a phrase like "bake the cake," emphasizing clarity at the start and end of each word.
Step 3
Practice your speech. Tape record yourself giving the speech, them listen for for clarity in your voice and identify where certain words or letters convey nervousness. Continue to practice and to gain confidence as you improve.
Step 4
Use body language and posture to display confidence. According to the Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, research shows that when you communicate with others, words convey only 7 percent of your feelings, while body language conveys 55 percent. Slumped shoulders and slouched posture can convey nervousness when you are speaking. Practice speaking into a mirror or have a friend watch you speak, then note if you convey nervousness with any posture or twitching motions. Practice repeatedly, and gain confidence from improvements you see.

A photographic story on Decades old Manauli Fort, originally built by the Mughal Nawab Kapoor Singh in 1793, located near Mohali, Punjab. In 2001, the Punjab Government has declared the place as prote
The century old monument is still crying on its situation. It is dying every single minute. In 2001, the Punjab Government has declared the place as protected place and recently, ASI (Archeological Survey of India) visited the place to see the possibilities.
Though, the "efforts" of saving the history has started but they seem literally of no use as the present situation do not need reports but need a strict and immediate action.
The "quila" (fort) was won by Nawab Kapoor Singh in 1793 from Mughals. It is made of small bricks commonly known as Sirhind Bricks. As per the native people, the fort had a huge gate and a small Gurudwara was there inside the fort. Nearly 400 acres of land was controlled by the people who lived in the fort but now everything has changed into miserable picture. There is no proper place to stand, no engraved stones, nothing.
If taken proper care of even now, it can be preserved as a good tourist place and also a very good spot for photographers.

Motor company Ford is testing connected car sensor technology that will allow vehicles to navigate intersections without having to come to a standstill.
Called intersection priority management (IPM), the technology was designed to imitate how pedestrians adjust their speed to avoid others crossing their path, by either slowing down or speeding up.
IPM is currently being demonstrated this week in the UK, as part of the government-funded UK Autodrive programme. The aim is to eventually do away with unnecessary stops at junctions, which the company says will ease traffic flow and increase safety.
"We know that intersections and traffic lights can be a real bugbear for many drivers," says Christian Ress, supervisor for driver assist technologies at Ford Research and Advanced Engineering.
"With the connected car technology we have been demonstrating this week, we envisage a world where vehicles are more aware of each other and their environment, enabling intelligent co-operation and collaboration on the roads, and around junctions."
The company found that every year, the average driver spends two days waiting at traffic lights, and junctions are the cause of up to 60% of road traffic accidents.
"IPM uses vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications to co-ordinate with other vehicles in the vicinity, and suggests optimum speeds that will allow cars to safely pass by each other at intersections without coming to a halt," Ford said in a statement.
"For the trial, test cars have been equipped with V2V communication systems that broadcast the vehicles' location, direction of travel and speed. The on-board IPM systems are able to identify an upcoming junction and the trajectory of other vehicles approaching it. It will then suggest an optimum speed for each vehicle as they approach the junction that will allow them pass through safely."
While there will be drivers behind the wheel during the trial this week, the technology was envisioned to be for autonomous vehicles.
"Automating how vehicles negotiate junctions with each other in this way may mean that, one day, vehicles could pass through safely and efficiently without the need for traffic lights or road signs. While today's autonomous vehicles operate independently using the sensor technologies and map data on-board, V2V and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications technologies could benefit the driverless cars of the future," the company said in a statement.


Here's why we've been raising our voices for so many years and why we've said that those who came out the closet want to put us into the closet. It's why we've said that LGBT activism was never simply about "tolerance" – it was about the silencing of competing views.
In a ruling that is sure to send shock waves through the nation, Canada's Supreme Court ruled 7-2 against Trinity Western University's (TWU) Law School. In effect, what the court declared is that universities must choose between biblical standards and accreditation. Put another way, the court ruled that Christianity and higher education are incompatible. I am not exaggerating in the least.
Here's a brief summary of the case for those who are not familiar with it. Trinity Western is a Christian university that requires its students and faculty to live by basic Christian standards. This means that to be a student or faculty member in good standing, you can't commit fornication or adultery, nor can you engage in homosexual relationships.
There's nothing surprising with these requirements, and there are thousands of schools in North America with similar standards. These include Christian schools from K-12, Christian colleges, Bible schools, seminaries, and universities.
These standards have long been part of TWU's mandatory covenant, which requires "that all students and faculty pursue a holy life 'characterized by humility, self-sacrifice, mercy and justice, and mutual submission for the good of others.' It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and 'sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.'"
Again, this is gospel 101, the basic requirements of Christian discipleship. And it is honorable that TWU seeks to live this out on its campus.
Unfortunately, when TWU opened its law school, it fell afoul of Canada's LGBT activists and their allies. They argued that TWU was discriminating against LGBT students, because of which students graduating with a bona fide law degree should not be allowed to practice law in Canada.
There was a ray of hope for TWU when a regional court ruled in its favor. But now, "In a pair of 7-2 rulings, the majority of justices found the law societies of British Columbia and Ontario have the power to refuse accreditation based on Trinity Western University's so-called community covenant."
Or, to paraphrase, the Supreme Court ruled that if a Christian law school wants accreditation, it must abandon biblical values. How else can this be interpreted?
Significant harm? If so, why? Because of biblical teaching. Because of Christian values. This is the locus of the battle. This is the point of conflict.

Parse it however you like, but this is the hardcore truth.
"[The judgment] found the public interest of the law profession gives it the right to promote equality by ensuring equal access, support diversity within the bar and prevent harm to LGBT students."
In other words, "diversity" according to the LGBT lexicon. Diversity meaning "the LGBT way or the highway." Diversity meaning, "all views are welcome other than biblical Christian views."
That's why we've been raising our voices for so many years. That's why we've been warning. That's why we've said that those who came out the closet want to put us into the closet. That's why we've said that LGBT activism was never simply about "tolerance." It was about the silencing of competing views.
And if it could happen in Canada, it could happen in America. (For the skeptics and mockers, give me one good reason why this could not happen here. And note that TWU was not some tiny school hidden in a corner. It has "40 undergraduate programs and 17 graduate programs.")
On a more personal, individual level, what happens to all the law students at TWU? What happens to those who spent years studying and invested tens of thousands of dollars in getting a law degree, only to be banned from practicing law in Canada because their school holds to Christian values? What about the significant harm experienced by them?
Honestly, I don't know where TWU goes from here. And I don't know how the believers in Canada will respond.
But I can say this to my friends and colleagues and fellow-educators and communicators here in America: We either use our liberties or lose them. We either stand fast and stand tall and stand strong, or we cower in a corner. We either do what's right today, or we apologize to our children tomorrow.
It's time to push back.

The Old Woman Plateau Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is located east of the junction between Salina Creek and Meadow up Salina Creek. There are really three parts to this CWMU. The north part has high elevations of 8600 feet in the south and 8400 feet in the north. Spring Canyon is the major drainage ranging from 7600 feet to 8400 feet. There are four (4) small parts (7400 feet to 7800 feet) of the Unit up the South Fork of Rock Canyon and Saddle Horse Canyon. Southeast of these four parcels over Emigrant Pass (7800 feet) is the south part of the Unit. The high point on this south part is 8200 feet. Coal Mine Creek, 7600 feet to 8100 feet, cuts the south part of this Unit on the westside. Mill Hollow, 7000 feet to 8200 feet, cuts the northeast corner of this south part. The most common elevation is 8100 feet but ranges from 6900 feet to 8800 feet with an elevation difference of 1900 feet. Fifty-six percent (56%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 7600 feet and 8200 feet an elevation difference of 600 feet.
The majority of the Old Woman Plateau Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is composed of Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62). Colorado Plateau Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (36) is another common land cover type. Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41) and Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22) complete the dominant land cover mix.
One of the Old Woman Plateau Ranch Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, SALINA (427557), is about 4.6 km northeast from the northeast edge of the CWMU. SALINA has thirty-one (74) years of records, 1923 - 2007. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 2.48 inches, but it can be as high as 6.67 inches or as low as 0.43 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 12 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 8 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 1 day of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Total FALL snowfall averages 2.8 inches but can be as high as 18.0 inches. FALL temperature at SALINA averages 49.9 degrees F. but can be as high as 102.0 degrees F. or as low as -8.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 48 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and less than 4 days above 90 degrees F.

False Alarms, Tornado Warnings, and Tornado Casualties
read more
Find the article at the American Meteorological Society.
This paper extends prior research on the societal value of tornado warnings to the impact of false alarms. Intuition and theory suggest that false alarms will reduce the response to warnings, yet little evidence of a "false alarm effect" has been unearthed. This paper exploits differences in the false-alarm ratio across the United States to test for a false-alarm effect in a regression model of tornado casualties from 1986 to 2004. A statistically significant and large false-alarm effect is found: tornadoes that occur in an area with a higher false-alarm ratio kill and injure more people, everything else being constant. The effect is consistent across false-alarm ratios defined over different geographies and time intervals. A one-standard-deviation increase in the false-alarm ratio increases expected fatalities by between 12% and 29% and increases expected injuries by between 14% and 32%. The reduction in the national tornado false-alarm ratio over the period reduced fatalities by 4%–11% and injuries by 4%–13%. The casualty effects of false alarms and warning lead times are approximately equal in magnitude, suggesting that the National Weather Service could not reduce casualties by trading off a higher probability of detection for a higher false-alarm ratio, or vice versa.


Blog Link Classification
Justin Martineau, Matthew Hurst
Blog links raise three key questions: Why did the author make the link, what exactly is he pointing at, and what does he feel about it? In response to these questions we introduce a link model with three fundamental descriptive dimensions where each dimension is designed to answer one question. We believe the answers to these questions can be utilized to improve search engine results for blogs. While proving this is outside the scope of this paper, we do prove that knowing the rhetorical role of a link helps determine what the author was pointing at and how he feels about it.

VC++ and multiple inheritance
Today at work we were optimizing memory usage. At some moment we found out that size (on stack) of our basic data structures is x bytes bigger than summed size of their members. Every basic data structure was written following Alexandrescu policy based design – using inheritance from some templated empty classes. Let's see a simple example:
class A { };
class B { };
class C : public A, B
 int test;
int main()
 printf( "%d\n", sizeof( C ) );
 return 0;
Compiler uses 4 byte aligment. Will this program print 4? That depends. Compiled by GCC it will print 4, but compiled by VC++ (2005-2010) it will print 8.
Every class in C++ has to be at least 1 byte of size in order to have a valid memory adress. With multiple inheritance sizeof(C) = sizeof(A) + sizeof(B) + some aligment. So VC++ behavior is correct, but not optimal. It's strange that it was reported to MS in 2005 and still they didn't fix it.
4 Responses to VC++ and multiple inheritance
 1. It's even more puzzling when your class inherits from 5 others (class Der : public A,B,C,D,E).
 Der* 00884fa0
 A* 00884fa0
 B* 00884fa1
 C* 00884fa2
 D* 00884fa3
 E* 00884fa4
 &test 00884fa4
 Yet, adding another inheritance (F) increases the size from 8 to 12. Why couldn't it still be 8 if E* and &test overlap anyway? (F could be 00884fa5)
 This must be an old ugly bug in compiler that nobody in MS understands anymore 🙂
 2. KriS says:
 VC++ sometimes can optimize empty class. Compiling my example with 1 byte alignment will result in sizeof(C) = 5. The funny part is that again some smart abstraction (which should be free in theory) defeats optimizer. Now try to imagine how crappy code is generated by compiler when compiling boost or other "modern c++" code :).

|From the Boone and Crockett Club: |
MISSOULA, Mont. (August 9, 2021) – The Boone and Crockett Club and Pope and Young Club have just released a definitive 250-page scoring manual that will serve as the guide to the processes and procedures to correctly assign a Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young score to any Fair Chase® big game trophy.
The manual, How to Score North American Big Game, is an effort to simplify and streamline the big game scoring process. Members of both Clubs' records committees spent years collaborating and refining the manual.
"Because Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young both have missions to maintain records of big game animals for use by wildlife managers and hunters alike, it just made sense that we work together to produce one, definitive scoring manual," said Justin Spring, director of Big Game Records of the Boone and Crockett Club.
Measuring the antlers, horns and heads of big game animals and publishing those measurements began more than a century ago by members of the Boone and Crockett Club. These records originally were developed as a means of recording data on species thought to be going extinct from habitat loss and unregulated harvest. Today, Boone and Crockett Club records remain a way to gauge the success of conservation and wildlife management programs. In addition to its prestigious history and tradition, Boone and Crockett scoring is strongly associated with the highest tenets of fair chase and hunting ethics. While the Boone and Crockett Club accepts entries taken with any legal weapon, the Pope and Young Club was founded in 1961 to maintain the records of animals taken with only bow and arrow. "Since the Pope and Young Club began documenting archery taken animals over 60 years ago, we have always utilized the Boone and Crockett scoring system," noted Roy Grace, records chairman of the Pope and Young Club. "While there are subtle differences between our two Clubs regarding minimum entry requirements, velvet entries, and others, our measuring procedures are nearly identical. This joint manual is long overdue and was a 'work in progress' for several years. Joint measurers will no longer have to refer to two separate manuals when measuring for either club. I'm fairly certain that the founder of the Pope and Young Club, Glenn St. Charles, would be proud to see what our two organizations have finally accomplished!" The new scoring manuals are available at _URL_ for $45. In addition, scoring instructions and worksheets for specific categories are available as downloadable PDFs for $10 each.
About the Boone and Crockett Club Founded by Theodore Roosevelt in 1887, the Boone and Crockett Club promotes guardianship and visionary management of big game and associated wildlife in North America. The Club maintains the highest standards of fair chase sportsmanship and habitat stewardship. Member accomplishments include enlarging and protecting Yellowstone and establishing Glacier and Denali national parks, founding the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service and National Wildlife Refuge System, fostering the Pittman-Robertson and Lacey Acts, creating the Federal Duck Stamp program, and developing the cornerstones of modern game laws. The Boone and Crockett Club is headquartered in Missoula, Montana. For details, visit _URL_.

Often when creating a form on a web page, you need your customers to fill out a field such as a mailing address, as well as a billing address. Instead of having your customers fill out the form twice, you can use JavaScript to copy the form's data from one field to another.
You might have noticed that sometimes websites like e-commerce or some government website have two address fields in their forms.One for primary address and another for secondary address(or one for billing address and another for shipping address etc).
Most of the time people have same primary and secondary addresses and to save us from the tedious work of re-entering same data again they have some kind of option to automatically copy the contents of one fields into another.
We are going to see how to make such kind of Auto-Complete form using JavaScript.
In the form we are going to discuss, there is a checkbox and whenever it is checked, the code automatically copies values from primary address and primary zip-code to the secondary address and secondary zip-code respectively.If the checkbox is unchecked, these fields will go blank.
Here is the simple code for such kind of form:

Form Auto Fill :
fieldset{ margin-bottom: 5%; }
AutoFill Form
//Fields for primary address
Primary Address
Address:

Zip code:

If same secondary address select this box.
// Fields for secondary address
Secondary Address

How do I find the intersection between $f(x) = 3(x-2)^2$ and $g(x) = 3\sin(x-4)$? It's a sinusodial function so it I couldn't solve it like a normal intersection.
share|improve this question
Are you looking for $x$ such that $f(x) = g(x)$? – user20266 Jun 15 '12 at 16:36
Yes. I would assume to find two $x$s though because it's a quadratic. – user26649 Jun 15 '12 at 16:39
you should then maybe ask for the intersection of the graphs of two functions. To make even clearer what your question is about you could write somthing like 'Intersection of graph of polynomial and sine function' – user20266 Jun 15 '12 at 16:45

This leads to a transcendental equation. Typically, you can find approximate solutions for these using numerical root-finding algorithms, like Newton's method or Bisection method.
Typically, an anlytical solution to these could be expressed using special functions, but they don't have nice closed form.
However, in your case, it is easy to prove that, in fact, no solutions exists at all in the real numbers (there are complex ones, though) -- since f(x) is always above g(x).

Causal Connections Between Scientometric Indicators:
Which Ones Best Explain High-Technology Manufacturing Outputs?
R. D. Shelton ,T. R. Fadel, P. Foland
WTEC, 1653 Lititz Pike #417, Lancaster, PA 17601 (USA)
Scientometric models can connect indicators via cross-country correlations, but these are not enough to assert causality. Sometimes a causal connection can be argued from the physical process. In other cases the causality or its direction is not clear, and the Granger test is often used to clarify the connection. Here it was shown that gross expenditures on R&D (GERD) Granger caused scientific papers in the U.S., EU, and some others, which has policy implications. Granger causality also reinforces earlier findings on why the EU passed the U.S. in papers in the mid-1990s. Downstream, it is difficult to prove the connection between research and gross domestic product (GDP), since the contributions of science are diluted by other factors. New data allows a focus on a sector that is more closely associated with science: high technology (HT) manufacturing outputs. This value-added data permits more accurate models for today's international supply chains. Correlations show that business expenditures on R&D (BERD) and scientific indicators like patents are closely connected with HT manufacturing outputs. However for BERD, either direction of causality is plausible, and enough countries had significant results to show that causality can indeed be in either direction. The connections between papers and patents with HT manufacturing were also investigated; in several countries patents could be said to have Granger caused HT manufacturing.

VizIcon Parallel Coordinates.svg
Parallel coordinates are a way to plot multivariate data. They are primarily used to visualize the relationships between many numeric variables.
Parallel coordinates are a way to plot multivariate data. They are primarily used to visualize the relationships between many numeric variables. The chart gives each variable its own axis and positions it in parallel to the other axes, with the data points plotted as a series of lines along each axis.
Data format
The variable order of the parallel coordinates chart will determine how the axes are arranged. This is important to note because it is much easier to detect patterns between variables that are positioned adjacent to each other.
In Displayr, the axes are ordered exactly as the variables are ordered in the variables list. Re-ordering the axes in a meaningful way will make it easier to discover patterns and correlations.
Parallel coords variable order.png
Parallel coords viz.png
Interpretation
A parallel coordinates chart can appear messy and cluttered. Here are some things to look for when interpreting the results.
Patterns between colored lines Setting the color variable (Inputs > DATA SOURCE > Color variable) will color-code each line according to the assigned variable. This allows you to more easily detect patterns and correlations.
Clusters on a single axis Data points may be clustered around certain areas of an axis, which may be particularly noteworthy if the clusters are also differentiated by color on the chart.
Patterns between axes Correlations between axes adjacent to each other indicate that the variables are in some way connected.
Example
The following example uses data the Iris flower data set, which measures certain characteristics of three species of Iris.
Create a Parallel Coordinates Chart in Displayr
1. Go to Insert > Visualization > Parallel Coordinates
2. Under Inputs > DATA SOURCE > Variables, Select the variables you want to include
3. Under Inputs > DATA SOURCE > Color variable, select the variable you want to color code.
Tip: In step 3, select the variables in the order you wish to arrange the axes to prevent having to reorder it later.
Object Inspector Options
The following is an explanation of the options available in the Object Inspector for this specific visualization. Refer to Visualization Options for general chart formatting options.
Chart
APPEARANCE
Variables Variables to show in the chart. These must come from the same data set. Each variable will be shown on a separate axis.
Color variable Optional variable used to color the lines in the chart. It must be a variable from the same data set as ::Variables, and can even be one of the variables included in Variables. If no variable is supplied, then all the lines in the chart will shown in the same color.
Variable names Use variable names instead of variable labels to label axes of chart.
Tidy labels Extract common prefixes from axes labels.
Reverse axes Show smallest values at the top of the y-axes.
Enable interactions When interactions are enabled users can click and drag on chart to select lines. However for large data sets it may be more efficient to turn off interactions.
Render lines progressively Lines are gradually added to the chart, so the user can see when multiple overlapping lines are added.
Line opacity Set transparency of lines to a numeric value between 0 (clear) to 1 (opaque). Note that overlapping lines of multiple colors will always be shown as a dark line (black hue).
Line colors Select a color palette to use if Color variable is provided, or a single color if not.
Rotate variable label Show variable labels at perpendicularly. This is useful for displaying longer labels. You may also need to adjust margin dimensions.

The last naval battle between France and England for the possession of the North American continent occurred in 1760 in the Bay of Chaleur. The French flotilla was made up of three ships: the Machault, the Bienfaisant and the Marquis de Malauze, sent from France with supplies and backup for their troops stationed on the St. Lawrence.
The English were on alert to prevent the arrival of supplies to Quebec and upon learning of the presence of French ships in the Restigouche estuary, the English prepared an attack. The battle that ensued is the subject of a national museum, the Battle of the Restigouche National Historic Site in Pointe-à-la-Croix. This archaeological site provides an important window onto the culture of 18th-century North America.
The Battle of the Restigouche National Historic Site is located at the mouth of the Restigouche River, at the far end of Chaleur Bay. An interpretation centre built in front of the battle site exhibits the remains of an 18th-century French frigate recovered during underwater archeological excavations. The site is managed by Parks Canada.
After resting for more than 200 years at the bottom of the Restigouche estuary, the wreck of The Machault has finally revealed its secrets.
Thanks to underwater archaeological excavations conducted from 1969 to 1972, a large collection of artifacts was uncovered, which have added to knowledge of the battle and the type of trade occurring between France and the colony during this period. A set recreates the interior of this ship and a film relates the events of the naval confrontation.
The most popular interpretation activity is the demonstration of loading of one of the cannons recovered from the wreck of The Machault.
A scenic lookout offers a view out over the Restigouche River and the site of the battle as well as Campbellton, a city in New Brunswick. A number of picnic tables have also been made available to visitors who wish to enjoy the area a bit longer.

EVALUATION OF SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES ON RESERVOIR STORAGE DEPLETION RATE: A CASE STUDY
Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshuu B
Sedimentation aspects have a major role during the design of new reservoir projects because life of the reservoir mainly depends upon sediment handling during reservoir operation. Therefore, proper sediment management strategies should be adopted to enhance the life span of reservoirs. Basha Reservoir is one of the mega water resources projects which are being planned to construct on the Indus river. Under this study, the efficiency of four sediment management strategies were evaluated by using
... the RESSASS model. The reservoir management strategies considered for sediment simulation of Basha reservoir include the normal operation, raising of MoL, draw-down the MoL (flushing) and controlling the sediment inflows. Under normal operation, the model predicted the life span of Basha reservoir around 55 -60 years. But by raising of Mol 2.0 m/year implemented after 35 years of operation may add 10 -15 years more to the life-span of the reservoir. However, by adopting the flushing operation to draw-down the MoL at El. 1010 m initiated after 35 years of operation, it may also add about 15 -20 years more. Moreover, the results obtained by considering 50% reduction in sediment inflow due to implementation of river basin management projects upstream of Basha within 30 years of reservoir operation, depicts that the life of the reservoir will be more than 100 years. It is therefore concluded that proper sediment mitigation measure can significantly enhance the life-span of planned reservoirs.


Fire destroyed a third of the houses in Delft.
May 3, 1536
The great fire in 1536, probably caused by lightening, in turn caused the people of Delft to re-build their city with stone instead of wood. It also meant that few current buildings pre-date the fire. Much of medieval Delft was lost, including Leeuwenhoek's Hippolytusbuurt neighborhood between the Stadhuis and the Oude Kerk. Both of them, built of stone, survived the fire. The city archives stored in the Stadhuis did not survive, however, which is why the timeline of events is so sparse before then.
The gates stick out into the singel more than in reality. At either end of the Oude Delft gracht, the double gates of Rotterdamse/Schiedam and Haag/Wateringse are not clear. At the top, the Waterslootse Poort doesn't have its bulwark yet. The four windmills in the top corner are all aimed toward the winds coming off the North Sea. Along the bottom, the Duyvel's Gat looks as though it gives water access, and the Koepoort looks as though it doesn't. In the bottom left corner (southeast corner of the city), Leeuwenhoek's boyhood neighborhood lay untouched.

What does an advanced hydroponic vertical garden have to do with relieving food insecurity for children in Princeton?
Since SHUPPrinceton's emergence as a community resource 10 years ago, one thing that has sustained us was our ability to adapt to unanticipated events that have adversely affected members of our community. Most often those least able to weather these financial storms alone.
This has always been and will continue to be our core mission.
Today however SHUPP is pleased to announce that we are embarking on an exciting new initiative. In conjunction with the Princeton Public Schools we are installing a vertical farm in the Littlebrook Elementary School.
This pilot program will complement the already robust outdoor, raised bed garden programs that have existed for some time in a number of Princeton Public Schools. It will allow for gardening all year round. It will allow the students to continue their agricultural adventures indoor during the cold weather, allow them to study, experiment, care for and maintain a gardening pod that has the potential to grow as much as 300 pounds of produce throughout the year.
Master Gardener Nancy Nicosia, pictured above along with Martha Friend says, "We are thrilled to now have the ability to continue to grow all winter long for the children, our students!"
Ross Wishnick, SHUPP founder and chair says, "We have been preparing to grow in this direction for some time now. We're so glad it's happening now. We are proud of this effort and look forward to showing the public this new and very important aspect of our ongoing collaboration with the schools."
Empowering students with the knowledge and skills to address food insecurity in their own homes and communities is a life changing experience. SHUPP is happy and proud to be at the vanguard of this life skills education program.

Grassroots Women's Groups Target Witch Hunts
Witch hunts are common and sometimes deadly in the tea plantations of Jalpaiguri, India. But a surprising source – small groups of women who meet through a government loan program – has achieved some success in preventing the longstanding practice, a Michigan State University sociologist found.
Soma Chaudhuri spent seven months studying witch hunts in her native India and discovered that the economic self-help groups have made it part of their agenda to defend their fellow plantation workers against the hunts.
"It's a grassroots movement and it's helping provide a voice to women who wouldn't otherwise have one," said Chaudhuri, assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice. "I can see the potential for this developing into a social movement, but it's not going to happen in a day because an entire culture needs to be changed."
Witch hunts, she explained, are fueled by the tribal workers' belief in the existence of witches and the desperate need of this poor, illiterate population to make sense of rampant diseases in villages with no doctors or medical facilities. There are some 84 million tribal people in India, representing about 8 percent of the country's population.
In 2003, at a tea plantation in Jalpaiguri, five women were tied up, tortured and killed after being falsely accused of witchcraft in the death of a male villager who had suffered from a stomach illness.
Chaudhuri interviewed the villagers at length and found that such attacks are often impulsive and that the "witch" is often killed immediately. Widespread alcoholism is also a factor, she found.
But the study also documents examples of the women's groups stopping potential attacks. In one case, a woman was accused of causing disease in livestock and an attack was planned. Members of the self-help groups gathered in a vigil around the woman's home and surrounded the accuser's home as well, stating their case to the accuser's wife. Eventually the wife intervened and her husband recanted and "begged for forgiveness."
Through the loan program, each woman is issued a low-interest, collateral-free "microcredit" loan of about 750 rupees ($18) to start her own business such as basket weaving, tailoring or selling chicken eggs. Participants meet in groups of about eight to 10 to support one another.
Chaudhuri said the loan program is run by nongovernmental activists who have been successful in encouraging the groups to look beyond the economic aspects and mobilize against domestic abuse, alcoholism and the practice of witch hunts.
Through the bonds of trust and friendship, group members have established the necessary social capital to collectively resist the deep-seated tradition of witch hunts, Chaudhuri said.
"Why would they go against something so risky, something that breaks tradition?" she said. "They do it because they believe in the ideals of the microcredit group – in women's development, family development and gender equality."
The study, which Chaudhuri co-authored with Anuradha Chakravarty of the University of South Carolina, appears in Mobilization, an international research journal.

text: This documentary explores the 7/7 cold case via new evidence from the recent inquests and discusses the war on terror in the context of numerous miscarriages of justice and acts of violence committed by the state. The first section of the film examines the history of the British state's use of double agents, from the Victorian Anarchists through WW2 to the war in Northern Ireland. It concludes by examining contemporary cases of injustice and violence carried out as part of the war of terror against Muslims. The second section of the film is a multi-dimensional study of the new evidence made available at the recent inquests. It looks at the evidence of a wider conspiracy and the fundamental flaws in the official narrative and the police investigation. It also discusses why the dialogue about 'intelligence failures' itself fails to address the very real possibility of state involvement in the attacks. The final section of the film returns to the Anarchists and the case of Martial Bourdin, Britain's first suicide bomber, in 1894. The mythology surrounding Bourdin is used as a foundation for examining the numerous films, tv shows training exercises and real life events that either predicted 7/7 or were influenced by the attacks. The question of conspiracy theories is addressed through an original analysis unique to this film. 7/7 Crime and Prejudice combines a presentation of the cutting edge of July 7th research with a deeply contextual analysis that casts light on largely unexamined aspects of the war on terror.


Universities use two methods to make offers to students. The original system concentrates on A-levels and Highers, and sis till the basis of offers made by most older universities. Applicants are required to gain a configuration of A-level or Higher grades, often subject specific.
 The A-level grades are awarded points (A:10, B:8, C:6, D:4, E:2) for the purpose of calculating mean entry scores in our profiles. Highers are scored differently (A:6, B:4, C:2). A new tariff system was introduced by UCAS last year to recognise vocational and all other post-16 qualifications as well. Offers using the system, which has been adopted by many new universities, are made in points. The scoring system for key elements of this is shown below. Full details can be found at.

Characteristics of rumen microorganisms involved in anaerobic degradation of cellulose at various pH values
Microbial degradation of straw, the main by-product of agricultural production, has proved to be the most economical and effective means of producing hydrogen. Mixed cultures provide stable combinations to process complex materials, thereby supporting more efficient decomposition and hydrogenation of biomass than pure bacterial species. Cellulose, the main component of straw, is degraded by microorganisms found in the rumen fluid of cows and converted to hydrogen gas, ethanol, and other fuels. This study investigated hydrogen production and microbial community structures during cellulose degradation by rumen microorganisms at pH values in the range of 5.5–7.5. The highest degradation efficiency was 81% at pH 6.5 with no methane and with the maximum hydrogen yield of 178.16 mL L−1 (culture medium) (8.42 mmol H2 g−1 Avicel). The yield value is higher than that associated with most mesophilic bacteria subjected to serial inoculation. The microbial diversity of rumen liquid enrichments at different pH values was analyzed using 454 pyrosequencing techniques. The dominant bacteria changed from Bacteroides, Enterococcus, and Enterobacter to Oscillibacter. This study thus examined the effect of pH on the efficiency of cellulose utilization in rumen bacteria growth. The results provide information about the mechanisms of metabolization at different pH values in diverse microflora.
