The Important Role Social Workers Play in Hospice
Share on facebook

Social workers play a critical role in hospice care, acting as an advocate for the patient and his family throughout the care process. Without them, hospice would be an entirely different specialty than what it is today.
Hospice care aims to treat the patient's physical symptoms and support the patient and his family emotionally, socially, and spiritually. To do this well, it's imperative that the patient is first paired with a social worker who fully understands his and his family's needs and can assist throughout the dying process and even after the patient has passed with bereavement.
Psychosocial evaluations allow social workers to better understand patient needs and family dynamics. Ultimately, it's the social worker's job to assess the "big picture," allowing them to better guide the hospice team in creating a comprehensive care and support plan. Some factors a social worker may consider include financial burdens, emotional stress, and mental health.
Additionally, hospice social workers have an extensive background in pharmacological matters, which allows them to effectively communicate with the medical team and provide insight to the patient and his family. Hospice social workers are available to patients not only in in-patient settings but anywhere care is provided.

Expectations, Learning and Business Cycle Fluctuations
This paper develops a theory of expectations-driven business cycles based on learning. Agents have incomplete knowledge about how market prices are determined and shifts in expectations of future prices affect dynamics. In a real business cycle model, the theoretical framework amplifies and propagates technology shocks. Improved correspondence with data arises from dynamics in beliefs being themselves persistent and because they generate strong intertemporal substitution effects in consumption and leisure. Output volatility is comparable with a rational expectations analysis with a standard deviation of technology shock that is 20 percent smaller, and has substantially more volatility in investment and hours. Persistence in these series is captured, unlike in standard models. Inherited from real business cycle theory, the benchmark model suffers a comovement problem between consumption, hours, output and investment. An augmented model that is consistent with expectations-driven business cycles, in the sense of Beaudry and Portier (2006), resolves these counterfactual predictions.

"Consuming Sun" claims to be "a fictionalized account based on the life of Chinese literary giant Yu Da Fu." As biography, it fails to provide much information about Yu, or even to describe the kind of literature he wrote. Instead, it's a rather murky tale of intrigue and passion, mostly set in Japanese-occupied Sumatra toward the end of World War II. Commercial prospects in the West are slim.
Emulating Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" device of having the film narrated by a dead man who describes his own murder, this first feature by UCLA-trained writer-producer-director John Zhang is given a complicated flashback-within-flashback structure that makes an underwritten biopic appear even murkier. However, it seems that Yu, called Mai Kebo in the film, studied in Japan in the 1920s, became fascinated with Japanese culture, and fell in love with a Japanese woman, Tumeido.
Back home in China, he is forced into an arranged marriage by his autocratic mother. As his fame as a writer spreads (on this point the film is annoyingly reticent), he speaks out against Japanese imperialism. He's in Singapore when the Japanese take over, and discovers that the Japanese commanding officer, Sukeo, is a former university classmate and that his mistress is none other than Tumeido. Sukeo hires Mai as an interpreter, and the writer bigamously marries a Sumatran woman to save her from forced prostitution at Japanese hands.
How much of this is fact or fiction is hard to determine, but the film speculates that, with the end of the war inevitable, Sukeo ordered Mai's execution before committing ritual hara-kiri.
With lavish production values, film looks handsome, but it's dramatically unsatisfying on almost every level. Thesping is adequate, though Sun Min never conveys much magnetism as the supposedly charismatic protagonist.
Thanks to a lush music score recorded by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, pic isn't hard to take, but just frustratingly insubstantial. Zhang seems more interested in his supposedly celebrated hero's sexual adventures than in other potentially more interesting aspects of what was, by all accounts, an unusual life.

The Promise of Innovation: Tomorrow's Science Today
Your support can enhance the education environment for technology at USC Upstate and influence generations to come.
With the dawn of the 21st century, "tomorrow's"science has become today's reality with real-world implications on many fronts, and students at USC Upstate are leading this charge of change.
One example is the work and research being done in Dr. Sebastian van Delden's robotics lab. Computer information students can now focus in an Automation course of study with classes in Industrial Robotics and Artificial Intelligence where they research the use of cameras and microphones to interact with industrial robots.
"For the most common types of work robots do in factories, this interactive system will allow a layperson to develop an application," says van Delden, associate professor of computer science. "The goal is to produce strong computer scientists and programmers familiar with factory automation androbotics."
Being prepared to impact today's real-world business methods and models is critical. The practical study and hands-on application taking place on campus makes that possible.
"Research experience can have a great impact on the lives and futures of young people. Problem solving and critical thinking skills are certainly enhanced, and students develop a professional relationship with a faculty member, positioning them well for a job or for graduate school when they graduate."

The Problem of Lemons and Why We Must Retain Juvenile Crime Records
T. Markus Funk
Government of the United States of America - Department of Justice
Daniel D. Polsby
George Mason University School of Law
Cato Journal, Vol. 18, No. 1 (1998).
Most states, and the federal government, have statutes that "expunge" (destroy or seal) a young offender's record of juvenile delinquency when he reaches age 17 or 18. The justification for this policy is that it allows young men (and young women) who have been guilty of "youthful indiscretions" to enter adulthood without the heavy stigmatic freight of a criminal record. At bottom, expungement laws seek to prevent employers, police officers, and even judges from finding out about a person's criminal activities during his minority. Although a policy that allows for the expungement of isolated or minor acts of juvenile delinquency may not raise some of the problems discussed in this article, many current statutes tend to aggressively expunge records full of serious and repeated criminal conduct. Examining economicst George A. Akerlof's "Market for Lemons," this article will discuss some of the not so obvious negative consequences that result from such expungement schemes, such as an increased likelihood that race and socio-economic background may be improperly relied upon in sentencing.

text: We compared the rejection behaviours of three hydrophobic trace organic contaminants, bisphenol A, triclosan and diclofenac, in forward osmosis (FO) and reverse osmosis (RO). Using erythritol, xylose and glucose as inert reference organic solutes and the membrane pore transport model, the mean effective pore size of a commercial cellulose-based FO membrane was estimated to be 0.74 nm. When NaCl was used as the draw solute, at the same water permeate flux of 5.4 L/m2 h (or 1.5 mm/s), the adsorption of all three compounds to the membrane in the FO mode was consistently lower than that in the RO mode. Rejection of bisphenol A and diclofenac were higher in the FO mode compared to that in the RO mode. Because the molecular width of triclosan was larger than the estimated mean effective membrane pore size, triclosan was completely rejected by the membrane and negligent difference between the FO and RO modes could be observed. The difference in the separation behaviour of these hydrophobic trace organics in the FO (using NaCl the draw solute) and RO modes could be explained by the phenomenon of retarded forward diffusion of solutes. The reverse salt flux of NaCl hinders the pore diffusion and subsequent adsorption of the trace organic compounds within the membrane. The retarded forward diffusion effect was not observed when MgSO4 and glucose were used as the draw solutes. The reverse flux of both MgSO4 and glucose was negligible and thus both adsorption and rejection of BPA in the FO mode were identical to those in the RO mode.


DB Delete
Deletes all data rows from the selected database table that match the values of a row from the selected KNIME input table columns. All selected column names of the KNIME table need to exactly match the column names inside the database. Only the rows matching all values of the selected column of any given input row will be deleted. The column order of the KNIME table and the database table do not need to match.
The output table contains two additional columns if Append delete statuses checkbox is checked. The first extra columns is the number of rows affected by the DELETE statement. A number greater than or equal to zero -- indicates that the command was processed successfully and is an update count giving the number of rows in the database that were affected by the command's execution. A value of -2 -- indicates that the command was processed successfully but that the number of rows affected is unknown. The second shows a warning message, if any.

The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and the Challenge of a New World Order
This article is part of the TRAFO series "Emerging Topics. Insights from 'Behind the Scenes'". Today, we put the spotlight on the international conference: "The Paris Peace Conference of 1919 and the Challenge of a New World Order". This event will take place in Paris from June 5th to June 8th 2019.
Please find the call for papers and more information on the conference here.
Axel Dröber is one of the organizers of the conference. He holds a PhD in History and his research interests include the history of war and violence in France of the 19th century and the history of transnational mobility and citizenship in 20th century Europe.
Given that there is already an abundance of research concerned with the Paris Peace Conference, a major event in the history of the 20th century, which new insights and approaches do you hope to uncover with your upcoming conference?
The approach of this conference is twofold. First, the organizers seek to enable a dialogue between both the new diplomatic history and the history of international law. As a matter of fact, both disciplines have already given an important insight into the Paris Peace Conference – as the final chapter of the First World War. But neither research results nor methodological approaches have been compared so far. The second aspect derives directly from the first: we wish to emphasize the question of order. At the Peace Conference, a wide range of political, diplomatic and juridical actors came together, initiated numerous commissions and drafted a new international and global concept.
In the Call for Papers, the "global perspective" is mentioned repeatedly: Why do you think a global perspective is needed and in fact the adequate tool to fully grasp an event such as the Paris Peace Conference?
Once again, the answer involves two aspects and two approaches. On the one hand, our aim is to distinguish the proposals for a new international future from the notion of national interest. We are convinced that the ideas and concepts developed in 1919 went beyond the articulation of security interests. We believe that they rather focused on how to ensure the basis for a durable peace and shared institutions that would help to resolve conflicts by mediation. On the other hand, order is an analytical concept intended to encourage the participants to identify and analyse the shared understandings of the historical actors. We would like to know more about common assumptions, views on the question of war and peace and so on. High expectations often burdened the future peace and led to many confrontations and endless debates among the allied representatives. The compromises achieved by the numerous commissions and under-commissions had a decisive impact on the form and the content of the treaties.
Do you understand your upcoming conference as a contribution to new diplomatic history or do you think the papers and discussions taking place at the event will and should also touch upon other fields of history?
Of course the actors of the Peace Conference and their proposals for a new international law-system and a global order are in the foreground. But we are also seeking new insights into how different social groups like women, workers or colonial subjects were heard. We wish to raise the question of the impact of alternative ideas and concepts on international affairs. And we will discuss how the peace treaties were legitimatised to domestic and international audiences.

, a direct calculation gives that
(2.17)
The Upper Bound
By (2.1) in Theorem 2.1, we did obtain an upper bound for . Now recalling that , again a direct calculation shows that
(2.18)
Hence the result is attained.
2.1. Laplacian Estrada-Like Invariant is Estrada Like
As depicted in [24], starting with the work of McClelland (in [28]), the basic results over bounds for graph energy could be deduced by relying to a limited number of simple properties of the graph eigenvalues (see, for instance, [29]).
Let us suppose that is a molecular -graph. Also let and be two positive integers. Consider an auxiliary quantity , defined as
(2.19)
where 's are some numbers (for ) which somehow can be computed from the graph , for which we only need to know that they satisfy the conditions
(2.20)
(2.21)
Actually, from (2.20) and (2.21), it is possible to deduce both lower and upper bounds for as in the following.
What now needs to be observed is that if we choose , , and (for ), then the auxiliary quantity will be turned out to the Estrada index, as defined in (1.1). Now, all of the two conditions (2.20) and (2.21) are obeyed for the choice , , and (where ), in which case the quantity will be thought as , as defined in (1.6).
Keeping the above in mind, in other words, if all of the two conditions (2.20) and (2.21) are taken into account, then, as a generalization, we have the following three results for similar to results for (given in the previous section) and results for Estrada index deduced previously by some other authors (see [12, 17, 18]):
(1) ,
(2) ,
(3) .
In detail, the following are considered.
(i)If we take , , and (where ), then results presented in ( ), ( ), and ( ) correspond to the bounds ( ), ( ), and ( ) in [12], respectively.
(ii)If we take , , and (where ), then results presented in ( ), ( ), and ( ) correspond to the bounds ( ), ( ), and ( ) in [18], respectively.
(iii)If we take , , and (where ), then results presented in ( ), ( ), and ( ) correspond to the bounds ( ), ( ), and ( ) in [17], respectively.
(iv)If we take , , and (where ), then results presented in ( ), ( ), and ( ) correspond to the bounds obtained in this paper in Theorems 2.1 and 2.2.
3. On the Estrada Index-Like Quantity
It is a well known fact that there are so many papers in the literature that study indexes and energies. In [28], McClelland obtained lower and upper bounds for the total -electron energy. In [30, Theorems and 2], Gutman et al. formulated the generalized version of these bounds, applicable to the energy-like expression and defined this by
(3.1)
where are any real numbers, and is their arithmetic mean. As depicted in the same paper, if are the eigenvalues of the adjacency, Laplacian, or distance matrix of some graph , then graph energy, Laplacian energy, and distance energy are the special cases of . (We note that, in [19, Theorem ], as another special case of , it has been recently shown a lower bound and an upper bound for the Harary energy).
By considering the Estrada index defined in (1.1), the other Estrada index-like quantity can be defined as
(3.2)
where are arbitrary real numbers, and is their arithmetic mean. In particular, as similarly in , if are the eigenvalues of the adjacency, Laplacian, or distance matrix of some of , then is the Estrada index (see [5, 8, 14, 15]), Laplacian Estrada index (see [17]), or distance Estrada index (see [18]), respectively, of some graph .
Let
(3.3)
Then
(3.4)
We remind two basic facts in the statistics that, for arbitrary real numbers , the arithmetic mean and variance are defined by
(3.5)
(3.6)
By considering (3.2), (3.3), and (3.6), one can show the following results as proved in Theorems 2.1 and 2.2.
Theorem 3.1.
Let be the Estrada index-like expression as defined in (1.6). Then
(3.7)
Equality holds if and only if .
Theorem 3.2.
Let and be as defined in (1.5) and (1.6), respectively. Then
(3.8)
or
(3.9)
In Theorem 3.2, equality holds in both inequalities if and only if (or, equivalently, ), as given in the proof of Theorem 3.1.

What Is Nephrolithiasis and How to Relieve It with These Fitness Exercises
By |2018-01-16T22:26:06+00:00December 5th, 2017|Categories: Fitness & Beauty, Health & Wellness|Tags: , , , , |
Nephrolithiasis is the accumulation of stones in the kidneys and this condition can be relieved with the help of fitness exercises. It's common knowledge that exercises are necessary for your body to stay fit and trim. Fitness exercises can promote better blood circulation, enhance excretion of toxic waste products, help strengthen the immune system, and improve respiration. Exercises can also help the body excrete toxic waste products of metabolism. In the case of nephrolithiasis, light fitness exercises have been discovered to prevent the formation

I actually use a function to do this, but only if I'm dumping the info into a temp table. The function looks like:
Public Function fnRank(Reset As Boolean, ParamArray FieldValues() As Variant) As Integer
 Static myRank As Long
 Static myArray() As Variant
 Dim intLoop As Integer
 Dim bIdentical As Boolean

 If (Reset = True) Then
 ReDim myArray(UBound(FieldValues))
 End If

 bIdentical = True
 For intLoop = LBound(FieldValues) To UBound(FieldValues)
 If (bIdentical = True) And (myArray(intLoop) = FieldValues(intLoop)) Then
 'do nothing
 Else
 bIdentical = False
 myArray(intLoop) = FieldValues(intLoop)
 End If
 Next

 If bIdentical = False Then myRank = 0

 myRank = myRank + 1
 fnRank = myRank

End Function
Open in new window
This function will run amazingly quickly (compared to the other methods mentioned above) and will accomodate as many fields as you choose to use in your ranking function.
And you would use it like:
1. First you need to call it setting the first argument (Reset) = True and then passing in a value for each of the fields you want to use in the ranking feature. Since the parameter array and the static array in the function are variants, you don't even need to worry about the values you pass in, just make sure you pass in a value for each column you will pass into the function in your query. I generally call to this just before running my query.
2. Then, you would call this as your Rank column in your query, something like the following. In this case, we want to rank employee dependents based on their DOB, so we use an order by clause that includes both of those fields, but we only need to pass the function the EmployeeID, because we want to reset the rank whenever the EmployeeID changes.
SELECT EmployeeID, DependentID, fnRank(0, [EmployeeID]) as Rank
FROM yourTable
Order by EmployeeID, DOB
Open in new window
The down side of this technique, is that if you scroll up through the query result set, you will see that the Rank column continues to get recomputed as records move into the set of records which are visible in the query results. So, if you scroll up, the numbers get screwed up. To avoid this, I create a Rank table (tblRanks) and actually insert the rank values into that table, along with the unique PK value that identifies each record, something like:
currentdb.execute "DELETE * FROM tblRanks", dbfailonerror
fnRank -1, 0 'This resets the length of the array stored in the function
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblRanks (PKID, Rank) " _
 & "SELECT ID, fnRank(0, [EmployeeID]) as Rank " _
 & "FROM yourTable "
 & "ORDER BY EmployeeID, DOB"
Currentdb.Execute strsql, dbfailonerror
Open in new window
Then you can join tblRanks to yourTable on the PK field, something like:
SELECT EmployeeID, DependentID, R.Rank
FROM yourTable as T
INNER JOIN tblRanks as R on T.ID = R.PKID
Order by EmployeeID, DOB
Open in new window
If you configure tblRanks so that the PKID field is the primary key of that table, then the query shown above should be updateable.

specifies whether the method succeeded or failed.
A return code of zero indicates success; a nonzero value indicates failure. If you do not supply a return code variable for the method call and the method fails, then an appropriate error message is written to the log.
specifies the name of a hash object.
specifies the name of the second hash object that is compared to the first hash object.
specifies the name of a numeric variable name to hold the result. If the hash objects are equal, the result variable is 1. Otherwise, the result variable is zero.
The following example compares H1 to H2 hash objects:
length eq k 8; declare hash h1(); h1.defineKey('k'); h1.defineDone(); declare hash h2(); h2.defineKey('k'); h2.defineDone(); rc = h1.equals(hash: 'h2', result: eq); if eq then put 'hash objects equal'; else put 'hash objects not equal';
The two hash objects are defined as equal when all of the following conditions occur:
Both hash objects are the same size--that is, the HASHEXP sizes are equal.
Both hash objects have the same number of items--that is, H1.NUM_ITEMS = H2.NUM_ITEMS.
Both hash objects have the same key and data structure.
In an unordered iteration over H1 and H2 hash objects, each successive record from H1 has the same key and data fields as the corresponding record in H2--that is, each record is in the same position in each hash object and each such record is identical to the corresponding record in the other hash object.
In the following example, the first return call to EQUALS returns a nonzero value and the second return call returns a zero value.

Shell Grit for Chickens
by Natural Poultry Essentials
A must-have for laying pullets and hens!
Why do your chickens need shell grit?
Chickens don't have teeth! Therefore ensuring they have a supply of grit is critical to the health of their gizzard. It's also a critical source of calcium for strong bones and egg shells.
What is shell grit?
Natural Poultry Essentials Shell Grit is literally broken up seashells. It's 100% real, natural and Australian. It's a mixture of fine and medium textures, perfect for laying hens and pullets.
How to use shell grit for chickens
Chooks love shell grit when it's clean and shiny, so keep half a cup at a time in a container that they can't scratch in. Allow them to "free choice", meaning rather than mixing it into their feed, offer it to them to peck as they please.
A small birdcage-style feeder hooked on the side of their coop or run (out of the weather), is perfect. Wet slightly if it's losing its lustre.

Description
Tested with: GHC 7.8.3
This module defines the random parameters of simulation experiments.
To create a parameter that would return the same value within the simulation run, you should memoize the computation with help of memoParameter, which is important for the Monte-Carlo simulation.
To create a random function that would return the same values in the integration time points within the simulation run, you should either lift the computation to the Dynamics computation and then memoize it too but using the memo0Dynamics function for that computation, or just take the predefined function that does namely this.

Measuring volcanic plume with our Micro Pulse Lidar
Our MPL has been shipped to Japan to study the volcanic ash of the recent eruption of Shinmoe-dake. A volcanic plume began to rise from the crater on Mount Shinmoe-dake in the Kirishimna range on Japan's southernmost main island of Kyushu, starting January 19th. A huge plume of gas and ash has been causing damages 5 miles away from the eruption. Weathernews, one of the leading research and weather service companies in the world, asked for our Micro Pulse Lidar to monitor the volcanic plume and its evolution.
The MPL will be used to observe Shinmoe-dake from an observation point located to the east of it, in order to monitor the movements of the ash cloud over the most populated area.
"We will use the Sigma Space Lidar to measure the density to gather a better understanding of the plume profile and transport mechanisms" said Lance Steele, meteorologist from the Oklahoma Innovation Center, which works closely with the headquarters in Japan, to produce new and innovative disaster mitigation services for transportation industries worldwide.

Support multi-language to help different language speakers learn and use hyperledger fabric at the same documentation website.
Rich Zhao,
Technical Working Group China(TWGC) has been working for a long time to translate fabric documentation, so far we found it is the best way to maintain documentation.
Help different language speakers learn fabric in their own language.
Dependent Projects
Hyperledger Fabric documentation is written in English. For those contributors whose native language is not English, they have difficulty contributing to or using hyperledger projects. If the documentation and log messages in software code can be translated into their own native language, it will help build a larger community of contributors and users.
Technical Working Group China has been working for a long time to translate fabric documentation, we use a separate repo to host the documentation but if we can use the same website as the English documentation, it would be more official and convenient for users to use.
Besides, Chinese, we do see other languages are required too.
TWGC has translated about half of fabric v2 documentation with the current solution, it is available at
The solution needs：
 1. documentation manage framework, sphinx which Fabric is using. Fabric English documentation uses Sphinx v1.7 to manage documentation materials, like.rst,.md files, and the structure layout and build to final output format HTML, pdf, ePUB, etc. Sphinx is a documentation framework based on python, we need to upgrade sphinx to version 2 for more compatible. It has been done through
 2. A repo to store documentation material and collaborate among contributors. Fabric English documentation uses the same repo as fabric code, it is okay for other languages to use the same existing repo, but as the documentation doesn't share the update release pace as code, it is better to use a separate repo to host ALL documentation materials. All means do NOT separate other language documentation from English documentation, as others are translated from English. Translators/contributors need to monitor English status.
 3. A translation tool. We prefer Because,
 1. it is free for open source projects. The paid account has a statistics report, but it is fine without reports.
 2. More importantly, it is very collaborative, translators can working simultaneously, translating, reviewing, etc.
 3. It provides a CLI tx, like git, contributors can use tx to pull from/push to transfex
 4. readthedocs account to host the documentation. Fabris is using it, just need to merge other languages into it.
For more detail refer to:
Efforts and Resources
Suggest using a separate repo to host all documentation material.
How To
Reviewed By
 1. Not exactly sure why this is coming to the TSC. This seems to be specifically about translating Fabric documentation to other languages.
 Are you asking Hyperledger to provide something here?
 2. Looking at the history of this page I see that this is nothing new. Ry Jones why did you ask for TSC members to review this? Housekeeping?
 1. Yes, housekeeping. These three proposals were left in unfinished state, or were using the old format with the previous TSC list.
 3. This is a great effort, but I'm not sure that it fits best as a project, which is supposed to be a coding effort.
 Can we find some good way to organize documentation efforts?
 4. After discussing with translation volunteers in TWGC, we decided to use github to maintain fabric document, as github is able to track everyone's contributing.


Major Image
Major Image
3rd-level illusion
Casting Time:1 action
Range:120 feet
Components:V, S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration:Concentration, up to 10 minutes
You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube. The image appears at a spot that you can see within range and lasts for the duration. It seems completely real, including sounds, smells, and temperature appropriate to the thing depicted. You can't create sufficient heat or cold to cause damage, a sound loud enough to deal thunder damage or deafen a creature, or a smell that might sicken a creature (like a troglodyte's stench).
As long as you are within range of the illusion, you can use your action to cause the image to move to any other spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking. Similarly, you can cause the illusion to make different sounds at different times, even making it carry on a conversation, for example.
At Higher Levels.When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the spell lasts until dispelled, without requiring your concentration.

Will the Amazon rainforest become a desert?
Half of these were in the Amazon rainforest. As the cycle continues, the state of the Amazon as a rainforest could become threatened. Some have said that we are nearing a 'tipping point', at which the rainforest will irreversibly become a desert – a process that's been dubbed 'desertification' by some media.
How can a rainforest turn into a desert?
And that is Deforestation and by that happening it switches to Desertification and if that happen the sun will bake the soil and that keeps the trees from ever growing back again and the rain washes the soil away.
Are rainforests deserts?
The deserts are very dry land areas that can be hot or cold and experience very less rainfall. On the other hand, rainforests receive an enormous amount of rain. Both are homes to a variety of plants. Rainforest Plants:
|Desert Plants||Rainforest Plants|
|They do not experience much rain.||They encounter constant rain up to 180 inches a year.|
How are rainforests like deserts?
Explanation: Both in tropical rainforests and deserts the animals are adapted to survive in the conditions of the environment. The both tropical rainforests and deserts are inhabitable for the humans are because of the excessive rain in the rainforests and the excess hot environment in desert.
Is the Amazon still on fire?
The world's attention has largely focused on the pandemic in 2020, but the Amazon is still burning. In 2020, there were more than 2,500 fires across the Brazilian Amazon between May and November, burning an estimated 5.4 million acres. During the 2020 holidays, the campaign was revived, and it will be again in 2021.
Is the Amazon man made?
The BBC's Unnatural Histories presented evidence that the Amazon rainforest, rather than being a pristine wilderness, has been shaped by man for at least 11,000 years through practices such as forest gardening and terra preta.
Will the Sahara desert be green again?
The next Northern Hemisphere summer insolation maximum — when the Green Sahara could reappear — is projected to happen again about 10,000 years from now in A.D. 12000 or A.D. 13000. So, a future Green Sahara event is still highly likely in the distant future.
Was Sahara desert a forest?
As little as 6,000 years ago, the vast Sahara Desert was covered in grassland that received plenty of rainfall, but shifts in the world's weather patterns abruptly transformed the vegetated region into some of the driest land on Earth.
Is the Sahara desert growing?
Over the past century, the Sahara desert has been expanding by more than 7,600sq km a year and is now 10% larger than it was in 1920.
What are the 12 major biomes?

- Desert. A desert with sand dunes.
- Tundra. Tundra in Greenland.
- Taiga (Boreal Forest) Boreal forest of Alaska.
- Grassland. Grasslands.

What's the largest desert in the world?
The largest desert on earth is the Antarctic desert, covering the continent of Antarctica with a size of around 5.5 million square miles. The term desert includes polar deserts, subtropical deserts, cold winter and cool coastal deserts, and are based on their geographical situation.
What animals live in the rainforest?
11 Amazing Rainforest Animals
- Mountain Gorilla.
- Blue Morpho Butterfly.
- Brown-Throated Three-Toed Sloth.
- Scarlet Macaw.
- Poison Dart Frog.
What is in the rainforest?
A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna; a 10-square-kilometer (4-square-mile) patch can contain as many as 1,500 flowering plants, 750 species of trees, 400 species of birds and 150 species of butterflies.
Why are rainforests and deserts found?
Because the cooling air is above the equator, the moisture rains back down on the tropics. Rainforest and deserts are wet and dry due to the cycle of the air. With warm air rising above the equator and the cooled air falling to the north and south, two circular patterns of air movement are created around the equator.
How are deserts formed?
Deserts are formed by weathering processes as large variations in temperature between day and night put strains on the rocks which consequently break in pieces. Although rain seldom occurs in deserts, there are occasional downpours that can result in flash floods.

Joins
Apache Druid (incubating) has limited support for joins through query-time lookups. The common use case of query-time lookups is to replace one dimension value (e.g. a String ID) with another value (e.g. a human-readable String value). This is similar to a star-schema join.
Druid does not yet have full support for joins. Although Druid's storage format would allow for the implementation of joins (there is no loss of fidelity for columns included as dimensions), full support for joins have not yet been implemented yet for the following reasons:
 1. Scaling join queries has been, in our professional experience, a constant bottleneck of working with distributed databases.
 2. The incremental gains in functionality are perceived to be of less value than the anticipated problems with managing highly concurrent, join-heavy workloads.
A join query is essentially the merging of two or more streams of data based on a shared set of keys. The primary
high-level strategies for join queries we are aware of are a hash-based strategy or a sorted-merge strategy. The hash-based strategy requires that all but one data set be available as something that looks like a hash table, a lookup operation is then performed on this hash table for every row in the "primary" stream. The sorted-merge strategy assumes that each stream is sorted by the join key and thus allows for the incremental joining of the streams. Each of these strategies, however, requires the materialization of some number of the streams either in sorted order or in a hash table form.
When all sides of the join are significantly large tables (> 1 billion records), materializing the pre-join streams requires complex distributed memory management. The complexity of the memory management is only amplified by the fact that we are targeting highly concurrent, multi-tenant workloads.

H Device Fingerprinting
Oracle Adaptive Access Manager contains proprietary clientless technologies for fingerprinting and interrogating devices used during access requests and transactions. Device fingerprinting is a mechanism to recognize the devices a customer uses whether it is a desktop computer, laptop computer or other web-enabled device. This appendix contains details about device fingerprinting.
H.1 What is Device Fingerprinting
Each time the user accesses the system, information about the device is collected. OAAM generates a unique single-use fingerprint and marks a device for each user session. It is replaced upon each subsequent fingerprinting process with another unique fingerprint.
H.2 When is a Device Fingerprinted
The fingerprinting process can be run any number of times during a user session to allow detection of changes mid-session that can indicate session hijacking. OAAM monitors a comprehensive list of device attributes. If any attributes are not available the device can still be fingerprinted. The single-use capabilities combined with server-side logic defends against the fingerprint being stolen and reused on another machine to commit fraud.
H.3 Device Fingerprint Attributes
Device fingerprinting collects information about the device such as browser type, browser headers, operating system type, locale, and so on. The fingerprint details can help in identifying a device, check whether it is secure, and determine the risk level for the authentication or transaction.
H.3.1 IP Intelligence
IP Information is one of the attributes of device fingerprinting and collected to generate the location fingerprint.
If IP address is changed, Oracle Adaptive Access Manager still has other information to use in identifying the machine.
Each feature standing on its own is not sufficient to secure the session; it is the combination of device fingerprint, IP, location, time, behavioral analysis, behavioral analysis as it relates to past behavior, and so on.
Some of the attributes collected to generate the location fingerprint are listed below:
Table H-1 IP Details
IP Details Description
IP Address
Address mapped to location
City Name
Geographic name of the city.
State Name
Geographic name of the state.
Country Name
Geographic name of the country.
Connection Speed
Internet connection speeds or bandwidths (high, medium, low).
Connection Type
Describes the data connection between the device or LAN and the internet. See the Connection Type mapping.
Routing Type
Tells how the user is routed to the internet.
The name of the entity that manages the ASN entry.
Globally unique number assigned to a network or group of networks that is managed by a single entity.
Top-level Domain
The top-level domain of the URL. For example,.com in This is mapped through the Quova reference file.
Second-level Domain
The second-level domain of the URL. For example, Name in This is mapped through the Quova reference file.
City Confidence Factor
The confidence factor (1-99) that the correct city has been identified.
State Confidence Factor
The confidence factor (1-99) that the correct state has been identified.
Country Confidence Factor
The confidence factor (1-99) that the correct country has been identified.
H.3.2 Browser Characteristics
Browser fingerprinting gathers information that include the browser type used, plug-ins installed, system fonts, and the configuration and version information from the operating system, and whether or not the computer accepts cookies.
H.3.3 Device Characteristics
Flash fingerprinting is similar to browser fingerprinting but a flash movie is used by the server to set or retrieve a cookie from the user's machine so a specific set of information is collected from the browser and from flash. The flash fingerprint is only information if flash is installed on the client machine.


Seasoning (cookware)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Seasoned pan)
Jump to: navigation, search
Cast iron skillets, before seasoning (left) and after several years of use (right)
Professional Krampouz waffle iron requiring seasoning
Seasoning is the process of treating the surface of a saucepan, wok, crepe griddle or other cooking vessel with a stick-resistant coating formed from polymerized fat and oil on the surface.
Seasoning is desirable on cast-iron cookware and carbon steel cookware, because otherwise they are very sticky to foods and rust-prone. It is generally not desired on other types of cookware either for cosmetic reasons or because the chemical composition of the pan already results in a non-stick surface.[citation needed]
Methods of seasoning[edit]
A new pan (bare metal) is porous[citation needed] and will grab food tightly, and must either be oiled before cooking or seasoned. This base coat is initially created by a process of layering a very thin coat of oil on the pan. Then, the oil is polymerized to the metal's surface with high heat for a duration. The base coat will eventually develop a more refined coating through use, e.g., frying or searing, and darken over time. This entire process is known as "seasoning". The colour of the coating is commonly known as its "patina".
To season a pan (e.g., to season a new pan, or to replace damaged seasoning on an old pan), the following is a typical process: (a) cleaning the cookware to expose the bare metal, (b) applying a thin layer of animal fat or vegetable oil, and (c) heating the cookware to generate the seasoned coating.[1][2][3] If it is not pre-seasoned, a new cast iron skillet or dutch oven typically comes from the manufacturer with a protective coating of wax or shellac, otherwise it would be rusted. This must be removed before the item is used.[4] An initial scouring with hot soapy water will usually remove the protective coating. Alternatively, for woks, it is common to burn off the coating over high heat (outside or under a vent hood) to expose the bare metal surface. For already-used pans that are to be re-seasoned, the cleaning process can be more complex, involving rust removal and deep cleaning (with strong soap or lye,[5] or by burning in a campfire or self-cleaning oven)[6] to remove existing seasoning and build-up. Once the pan has been heated, dried, and thinly layered with oil or fat, it is placed in an oven, grill, or other heating enclosure for the oil to be polymerized onto the metal's surface. The process of polymerization is dependent on the oil, temperature of the enclosure, and the duration. The precise details of the seasoning process differ from one source to another, and there is much controversy regarding the correct oil to use. There is also no clear consensus with the correct temperature and duration. Lodge Manufacturing uses a proprietary soybean blend in their base coats as stated on their website. Others use lard, or animal fats. Some advocate the use of food-grade flaxseed oil (a drying oil).[7] Likewise, the recommended temperature for seasoning varies to high temperatures above 260 °C (500 °F), while some recommend a lower temp below 150 °C (302 °F). Some say that a temperature around the smoke point of the oil or fat should be targeted since this will allow vaporization of impurities from the oil, and polymerization and carbonization to occur. And, there is also no clear determination of the correct duration of heat to use. Anywhere from half an hour to an hour is often recommended.
Seasoning a cast iron or carbon steel wok is a common process in Asia and Asian-American culture. While the vegetable oil method of seasoning is also used in Asia, a traditional process for seasoning includes the use of Chinese chives or scallions as part of the process.[8]
Surface chemistry[edit]
The seasoned surface consists of a polymerized and plasticized coating.
The process of heating a pan to cause the oil to oxidize is analogous to the hardening of drying oil used in oil paints, or to varnish a painting. But whereas the curing of oils is the result of autoxidation at room temperature for a painting, for a pan, the thermoxidized oil undergoes a conversion into the hard surface of the seasoned pan at the high temperatures of cooking.
When oils or fats are heated in a pan, multiple degradation reactions occur, including: autoxidation, thermal oxidation, polymerization, cyclization and fission.[9][10] Often seasoning is uneven in a pan, and over time the distribution will spread to a whole pan. Heating the cookware (such as in a hot oven or on a stovetop) facilitates the oxidation of the iron; the fats and/or oils protect the metal from contact with the air during the reaction, which would cause rust to form. Some cast iron users advocate heating the pan slightly before applying the fat or oil to ensure that the pan is completely dry and to open "the pores" of the pan.[11][12]
The surface is hydrophobic, and oils or fats for cooking will spread evenly. The seasoned surface will deteriorate at the temperature where the polymers break down. This is not the same as the smoke point of the original oils and fats used to season the pan because those oils and fats are transformed into the plasticized surface. (This is analogous to how the smoke point for crude oil and plastic are different).
As with other cast iron vessels, a seasoned pan or dutch oven should not be used to cook foods containing tomatoes, vinegar or other acidic ingredients.[citation needed] These foods will damage the new seasoning. Instead, newly seasoned ovens should be used to cook food high in oil or fat, such as chicken, bacon, or sausage, or used for deep frying. Subsequent cleanings are usually accomplished without the use of soap. Because modern cleaning methods (detergent soaps, dishwashers) will destroy the seasoning on cast iron, manufacturers and cookbook authors recommend only wiping the pans clean after each use, or using other cleaning methods such as a salt scrub or boiling water.[13]
Other surface types[edit]
There are other surfaces on cookware which are stick-resistant. See also Non-stick pans.
In the process of bluing, an oxidizing chemical reaction on an iron surface selectively forms magnetite (Fe3O4), the black oxide of iron (as opposed to rust, the red oxide of iron (Fe2O3)). Black oxide provides minimal protection against corrosion if also treated with a water-displacing oil to reduce wetting and galvanic action.

Assessing The Impact Of Railway Restructuring In Nigeria
The study presents railway restructuring as a solution option to railway problems in Nigeria. It aims at ascertaining the efficiency of the critical input factors of Nigerian Railway corporation (NRC) while comparing it with that of the restructured developed and best practices railways to establish the basis for restructuring. A manpower survey was carried out. Benchmarking method was used to determine the best restructuring model for Nigeria. Descriptive statistical tools and simulation model were also used in carrying out the analysis. In this respect, we identified low investment, low technological capacity and capability, low productivity unreliable services, High operating ratios, weak administration, obsolete equipment and technology, low motivation and large labour force as the most severe problems to overcome. Against this background, the implication of railway restructuring in Nigeria for development was examined. The simulation results show that the restructured railways in Nigeria would save time, increase the number of traffic and increase revenue generation. The study concluded that there is a wide gap between NRC and the best practices and restructured railways as a result of the observed inefficiencies in all the critical input factors. We recommend among others the adoption of the concessional model, the repeal of the 1995 railway acts as amended to make the railway market in Nigeria contestable and viable.

We hear a lot about particulate matter these days, mostly in the context of air pollution in inner cities. But what about particulate matter in the Amazon rainforest? Well, the short answer is that particulate matter is present in the air above the Amazon, too. And although its concentrations are lower than those in large cities, urbanization and deforestation fires have a significant impact. To find out what that impact exactly is, was the aim of a new study by Suzane de Sá and co-authors.
They analyzed the concentration, composition and properties of particulate matter in the central Amazon. As part of the GoAmazon campaign, they collected data during the dry season, when burning events are most frequent. Their primary study site was downwind of Manaus, but they used the ATTO site with its relatively clean air upwind of Manaus for comparison. To have this comparison is important to identify the effects of urban pollution and forest burning on the natural background. The mean concentration of particulate matter found at the study site was ca. 12 µg/m3 in the small PM1 fraction (particles smaller than 1µm in diameter). For comparison, average values in European cities are in the range of 15 to 20 µg/m3. But in areas with severe air pollution, those values can skyrocket and reach over 100 µg/m3.
In the Amazon, particles from biomass burning and urban pollution account for ca. 30 % of all particulate matter, while the rest comes from biogenic sources. The team also found a much higher overall concentration of particulate matter during the dry season. This is in part because of the increase in particles from anthropogenic sources. But the amount of particles from biogenic sources also increases during that time. But even though the anthropogenic fraction of particulate matter is relatively low, they absorb much more light than biogenic particles do. This, in short, makes the air warmer. Biogenic particles reflect more light, counteracting the greenhouse effect to some degree.

In a new study, Dr. Haijie Tong and co-authors studied a subset of PM2.5, the so-called highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs) and its relationship with radical yield and aerosol oxidative potential. They analyzed fine particulate matter in the air in multiple locations. This including the highly polluted megacity Bejing and in the pristine rainforest at ATTO. They wanted to get insights into the chemical characteristic and evolutions of these HOM particles. In particular, they wanted to find out more about the potential of HOMs to form free radicals. These are highly reactive species with unpaired electrons.
Wu et al. collected and analyzed aerosols in two locations: the city of Manaus, a large urban area in Brazil, and the ATTO site in the heart of the forest. The aerosol compositions varied largly. At ATTO most aerosols were emitted by the forest itself, while in Manaus, anthropogenic aerosols were very common. The results were published in ACP.


Are There Any Harmful Effects of Orgonite
Are There Any Harmful Effects of Orgonite
For many years now, orgone energy has been known as a universal life force that is capable of turning negative energies into positive ones and send it out into the atmosphere. There are various theories surrounding the subtle energies, particularly because there is no scientific method to measure the energy and prove its effects.Generations of people have experienced the effects of subtle energies and have reported about their effects.
Is Orgonite Harmful?
Orgonite is derived from the term "orgone" which was coined by Wilhem Reich. It is a life-force energy which is believed to exist in healthy and stagnant form. The healthy form of energy is known as POR (Positive Orgone Energy) and the stagnant one is DOR (Deadly Orgone).
Orgonite/Orgone Devices are made up of resin, metal shavings and quartz crystals. They are capable of transmuting the negative energy into positive one. Positive energies cause a number of benefits to the surroundings.
 - In human beings, orgonite is known to induce better sleep patterns. The presence of orgonite helps a person to sleep through the night and reduces the number of waking considerably.
 - Orgonites are known to reduce the ill-effects of EMFs. It does not reduce the radiations as such, but can reduce their harmful effects. Orgonites can specifically be helpful; for people who are sensitive to emissions.
 - Orgonites are known to accelerate the growth of plants in many cases. Yet another positive impact of orgonite can be seen on foods. It acts as a preservative and foods remain fresh for longer than usual.
 - Orgonite remove the energy blockages from the body. Once the blockages are released there is a gush of fresh and positive energy, a person feels happy and content.
Just like how too much of anything can be alarming, the same goes with Orgonite. One can have as many orgonite as they wish. But stay alert that you may sometimes experience temporary discomfort, as too much of anything is not good. In the presence of too much energy, the effects can be felt strongly. Hence, it is best to use Orgonite in nominal amounts and make the most of it.
One can benefit their house, workplace, and environment all with Orgonite. In fact, Orgonite have effect on all the living beings, including animals.

In a German newspaper article an interviewed professor says:
For a long time the Japanese didn't have any interest in clocks: Until 1871, there hadn't even been a word for time and therefore no time measurement.
(Original text:)
Auch die Japaner hatten lange kein Interesse an der Uhr: Bis 1871 hatten sie nicht mal ein Wort für die Zeit und daher auch keine Zeitmessung.
(Text available in German here.)
Is it true that there was no word for time before the Meiji Restoration? Which word is he referring to? 時間 or the kanji 時?

 What actually happened at the end of 1871 is the switch to the western (Gregorian) calendar system. Before that, traditional time & calendar system was widely used. – naruto Jan 9 '17 at 5:15
 - Out of curiosity: Could you add the exact source? – Torsten Schoeneberg Jan 11 '17 at 5:23

 _USER_ Yes, of course: It was in the Dossier part of "Die Zeit", issued 2017-01-05. The article is a long interview with Prof. Karlheinz Geißler. It couldn't find that article online, though. – elzell Jan 11 '17 at 7:17
The word 時{とき} is probably the oldest native Japanese word for "time". This term appears in the 万葉集{まんようしゅう} written in Old Japanese and compiled from poems composed from the 300s through the 700s, completed some time after 759 CE. These are some of the oldest surviving examples of written Japanese, suggesting that this term is quite ancient indeed. Consequently, claiming that ancient Japanese had no word for "time" is patently wrong.
The Japanese language also has the Chinese-derived on'yomi term 時刻{じこく}, also used to refer more specifically to the concept of "hour", as in "a specific length of time in a day". This term appears in the 平家{へいけ}物語{ものがたり} dating to the 1100s. Even prior to that, we know that the Ritsuryō legal system in place from the mid 600s through the Nara period ending 794 made use of water clocks to track the passage of time during a day: definite evidence of the Zeitmessung ("time measurement") that Professor Geißler mentions. In the traditional reckoning, each day consisted of 12 hours: 6 of day, and 6 of night. This meant that the length of a daylight hour and of a nighttime hour changed over the course of the year, with the shift of the seasons. Consequently, an argument could be made that the traditional Japanese hour required a greater awareness of time than the western hour -- timekeepers would need to be much more intimately in tune with time day-by-day in order to evenly distribute the number of hours in a day and night.
Even the western definition of "hour" has been known to some extent in Japan since the 1500s, when westerners brought their own clocks as gifts. So here too, Professor Geißler's claim falls through.
The term 時間{じかん} itself, though apparently extant earlier, does seem to have been repurposed in 1881 as a specific translation of the western term "time" in reference to philosophy. The Daijirin entry here explains:
〔明治初期には英語 time は「時・時刻」と訳され、「哲学字彙」（1881年）に訳語として「時間」と載る〕
 (The English term "time" was translated as 時{とき} or 時刻{じこく} at the start of the Meiji period [beginning 1868; here, likely including the 1870s], with the term 時間{じかん} appearing as a translation term in Tetsugaku Jii (1881) ["Philosophical Dictionary", compiled by Inoue Tetsujirō])
Notably, most (maybe all?) such "translation terms" were existing words in Japanese that were repurposed to express more western concepts, such as 社会{しゃかい} "society", or 自由{じゆう} "freedom, liberty".
Key points:
 - The concept of "time" clearly existed even in ancient Japanese culture.
 - The concept of "hour" as a specific span of time has also existed, for essentially the entirety of recorded Japanese history. Granted, that definition might have differed from the modern western concept, but it was a specific idea of "time measurement".
 - The main shifts related to "time" in the Meiji period were:
 1. widespread translation of western materials in an urgent and strategic push to catch up technologically, leading to the rejiggering of various cultural ideas, including "time", and
 2. the promulgation of the Gregorian calendar and western-style 24-hour day, as opposed to the traditional 12-hour day, with six hours of day and six hours of night.
You had specifically asked:
Is it true that there was no word for time before the Meiji restauration?
No, that is not true.
What word is he [Professor Geißler] referring to? 時間 or the kanji 時?
Professor Geißler is far enough off-base that I don't think he's referring to any specific term -- I suspect he doesn't know enough about Japanese history or the language for either term to be immediately relevant to his statement.
Professor Geißler clearly got the wrong end of the stick. I note that he is apparently a Professor of Wirtschaftspädagogik, or "economics pedagogy", with no apparent work in Japanese history, culture, or language. In his defense, it is easy to misapprehend things outside of one's field of expertise.
I think the word [時間]{じかん} was created in the Meiji era, but the word [時]{とき} is older. So it's definitely wrong that "the Japanese didn't have any interest in clocks (until 1871)".
I searched in an old-Japanese dictionary and found the usage of 「とき」 in 竹取物語:
Here, the word [子]{ね}のとき refers to a certain time which is around midnight.
竹取物語 was written more than 1000 years ago. So the word 「とき」 is at least 1000 years old.
The installation of the Gregorian calendar was on 1872.
It doesn't mean Japanese didn't have a concept of time, they used a lunar calendar (different one from Chinese).
They had a Japanese clock which divides a day in six and a night in six.

Policy and Procedure
Student Support Services is one of the Federal TRiO Programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education. TRiO began in the 1960's as a result of the Educational Opportunity Act of 1964, the original War on Poverty statute that initiated the Upward Bound program.
The Higher Education Act of 1965 followed, which provided the foundation for the Talent Search program. The reauthorization of the Higher Education Act in 1968 led to the creation of the Special Services program, now called Student Support Services. Thus, by 1968, the original TRiO programs had been created: Upward Bound, Talent Search, and Special Services.
The original three programs have grown into eight, which now include Educational Opportunity Centers (1972), Training Program for Federal TRiO Programs (1976), Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Program (1986), Upward Bound Math/Science (1990), and the TRiO Dissemination Partnership (1998).
The general purpose of TRiO programs is to provide educational access and opportunity to at-risk high school and college students who are first generation, low-income, or have disabilities. The purpose of Student Support Services is twofold: 1) to increase the retention and graduation rates of eligible students and 2) to foster an institutional climate that is supportive of first-generation, low-income students and students with disabilities.
Students must apply and be accepted to be a part of the program. SSS offers a variety of academic support services, which increase the retention and graduation rates of eligible students. Because the program is federally funded, all services are free of cost to accepted students. SSS at The University of Virginia's College at Wise is funded to serve 190 participants.
SSS at UVa-Wise has been in existence since 1973 and has provided assistance to thousands of eligible students. National studies completed on the effectiveness of SSS programs reveal that participants in SSS are more than twice as likely to remain in college than eligible students who did not participate in the program.
- Is enrolled at the College or accepted for enrollment for the next academic term
- Is a U.S. citizen or meets the residency requirements to receive Federal financial aid
- Is low-income, first generation or has a physical or learning disability
- Has a need for academic support
The U.S. Department of Education requires that two-thirds of all participants be first generation and low-income or be students with disabilities. The remaining one-third may be first generation, low-income or have a disability. Of those students with disabilities, one-third must be low-income.
IDENTIFICATION, RECRUITMENT, AND SELECTION OF PARTICIPANTS
Student Support Services staff identifies eligible students with the cooperation and assistance of the Offices of Enrollment Management and Financial Aid.
- The Office of Enrollment Management provides SSS with the list of students who have been accepted to the College and confirmed. Information collected by both the Offices of Enrollment Management and Financial Aid is used to identify eligible students.
- Then, a targeted pool of eligible students who have a need for academic support is identified. Those students meet the following criteria: 1) are admitted with less than a 3.0 academic GPA 2) have less than 900 on both the critical reading and math sections of the SAT 3) placed into a remedial course 4) are undecided about a major 5) are non-traditional students 6) were participants in a pre-college TRiO program (Upward Bound, Talent Search) and 7) self-identify themselves as having a need for academic support.
- Referrals are sought from other TRiO programs in the area as well as from outside agencies, faculty, and staff.
- SSS staff participates in the College's summer orientation at which it introduces incoming students to the program. Students who apply to SSS and have been determined to be eligible by program staff participate in a separate SSS Orientation at which students receive academic advising.
- Applications are evaluated on the basis of the eligibility requirements established by the Department of Education: first generation, low income, and/or disability. Participants must also have a need for academic support. This is determined by information provided on the application, transcripts, and placement and test scores. In addition, candidates are interviewed prior to selection.
- Once accepted, students must complete an intake form (LIFE Plan) which serves as the contract by which they accept the terms of membership. Students who fail to meet the conditions of the contract or fail to receive services regularly from the program over the course of one year are placed on inactive status. Inactive students do not receive the full benefits of the program.

Navigating Configuration Post-processing
Note
Current implementation only renders the configuration to push, it doesn't update the configuration into the target devices.
The intended configuration job doesn't produce a final configuration artifact (see below for reasons why). The intended configuration is the "intended" running configuration, because the intended configuration job generates what is in the final running configuration. This works well for the "compliance" feature, but not as well to create a configuration artifact that is ready to push.
Challenging use cases when using the running configuration as intended:
 - Because the intended configuration is stored in the database, and in an external Git repository, it should not contain any secret.
 - The format of the running configuration is not always the same as the configuration to push, examples include:
 - Pushing SNMPv3 configurations, which do not show up in the running config
 - VTP configurations where the configurations is not in the running config at all
 - Implicit configurations like a "no shutdown" on an interface
 - The configurations used to get the configuration to the intended state may require to be ordered to not cause an outage.
As the Golden Config application becomes more mature in delivering an all encompassing configuration management solution, it requires an advanced feature to render a configuration artifact. That artifact must be in the final format your device is expecting, from the intended configuration.
This is exposed via the get_config_postprocessing() function defined in nautobot_golden_config.utilities.config_postprocessing. This method takes the current configurations generated by the Golden Config intended configuration feature, and the HTTP request. This function will return the intended configuration that is ready to push.
From the user perspective, you can retrieve this configuration via two methods:
 - UI: within the Device detail view, if the feature is enabled, a new row in the "Configuration Types" appears, and clicking the icon the new configuration will be rendered on the fly (synchronously). Check figure.
 - REST API: at the path /api/plugins/golden-config/config-postprocessing/{device_id} you can request the intended configuration processed, and the return payload will contain a "config" key with the rendered configuration.
Configuration Postprocessing
Customize Configuration Processing
There are two different ways to customize the default behavior of get_config_postprocessing method:
 - postprocessing_callables: is the list of available methods for processing the intended configuration. It contains some default implemented methods, currently render_secrets. But it could be extended via configuration options (see next section). The format for defining these methods is via the dotted string format that will be imported by Django. For example, the render_secrets is defined as "nautobot_golden_config.utilities.config_postprocessing.render_secrets".
 - postprocessing_subscribed: is the list of methods names (strings) that define the order in the processing chain. The defined methods MUST exist in the postprocessing_callables list. This list can be customized via configuration options, and eventually, it could be extended to accept HTTP query parameters.
Existing Default Processors
Render Secrets
The render_secrets function performs an extra Jinja rendering on top of an intended configuration, exposing new custom Jinja filters:
 - get_secret_by_secret_group_name: as the name suggests, it returns the secret_group value, for a secret type, from its name.
Note
Other default Django or Netutils filters are not available in this Jinja environment. Only encrypt_<vendor>_type5 and encrypt_<vendor>_type7 can be used together with the get_secret filters.
Because this rendering is separated from the standard generation of the intended configuration, you must use the {% raw %} Jinja syntax to avoid being processed by the initial generation stage.
 1. For example, an original template like this, {% raw %}ppp pap sent-username {{ secrets_group["name"] | get_secret_by_secret_group_name("username")}}{% endraw %}
 2. Produces an intended configuration as ppp pap sent-username {{ secrets_group["name"] | get_secret_by_secret_group_name("username") }}
 3. After the render_secrets, it becomes ppp pap sent-username my_username.
Notice that the get_secret filters take arguments. In the example, the secret_group name is passed, together with the type of the Secret. Check every signature for extra customization.
Note
Remember that to render these secrets, the user requesting it via UI or API, MUST have read permissions to Secrets Groups, Golden Config, and the specific Device object.
Render Secrets Example
This shows how Render the Secrets feature for a Device, for the default Secrets Group FK, and for custom relationships, in the example, at Location level.
GraphQL query
query ($device_id: ID!) {
 device(id: $device_id) {
 secrets_group {
 name
 }
 location {
 rel_my_secret_relationship_for_location {
 name
 }
 }
 }
}
Jinja Template
Using the default secrets_group FK in Device:
{% raw %}{{ secrets_group["name"] | get_secret_by_secret_group_name("password") | default('no password') }}{% endraw %}
Using the custom relationship at the Location level:
{% raw %}{{ location["rel_my_secret_relationship_for_location"][0]["name"] | get_secret_by_secret_group_name("password") | default('no password') }}{% endraw %}
This will end up rendering the secret, of type "password", for the corresponding SecretGroup.
Managing errors
Obviously, the rendering process can find multiple challenges, that are managed, and properly explained to take corrective actions:
Found an error rendering the configuration to push: Jinja encountered and UndefinedError: 'None' has no attribute 'name', check the template for missing variable definitions.

Zarate: Undergraduate Research a Path to Success
Inside USD -- Sonia Zarate is right where she wants to be — and that's to the benefit of every student at the University of San Diego. As the new director of USD's Office of Undergraduate Research, Zarate wants to help students make the most of their education and set them on a personal path toward success.
"Academic excellence is achieved when we provide students both theory and experiential experiences," she says, "Students learn better when they hear it, see it and do it; research is the do. Additionally, when students are taught the process of generating new knowledge, they become vested and engaged in their own learning process.
"Universities should strive to include research activities into the programming for all undergraduate students," Zarate continues. "It becomes even more so important for students to engage in research activities as undergraduates, because this is the time that they are deciding what to do. By participating in research now, students can make an informed decision about whether or not to include research in their academic and professional careers." (Full Article)

STEP EIGHT. You can use Canvas table layout to maximize the available space, with the Twitter widget in one column and contextualizing information in the other column. If you are designing for mobile, you can find additional information here: Canvas Columns without Tables.
Canvas Pages are not really a great space in which to design, in large part because you are constrained by the Canvas system content to the left, on the top, and sometimes to the right that you cannot control. You can, however, find ways to make tables work to your advantage if you want to make the most of the limited screen space available.
To get a sense of how that works, compare these two screenshots. Here's a widget pasted into a page:
And here's what it's like to put a widget into a two-column table:
If you want to use a table, you can copy-and-paste this bit of two-column table template code to quickly create a table that works nicely with an embedded Twitter widget. Remember that you need to be in the HTML editor when you paste in this code. You can then shift back into the Rich Content View to do your actual content editing.
TEXT STUFF GOES HERE
IFRAME STUFF GOES HERE
- The valign is important; that is what makes the contents of the table align against the top.
- The non-breaking spaces create a kind of divider column space between the left and right columns.
- You can adjust the width value as needed; the 450 pixel width works nicely for the widgets I usually make at Twitter.
- The iframe stuff was covered in the previous step: Add Twitter widget to Canvas Page.

This article presents a polychotomous choice-selectivity model to estimate the interactions among urbanization, land use regulations, and public finance in five western states (California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington). Land use regulations in these five states reduced the total developed area by an estimated 12.2% from 1982 to 1992, but increased housing prices between 1.3% and 4.7%, depending on the intensity of land use regulations in a county. Land use regulations also reduced public expenditure and property tax in the long run by 5.6% and 8.4%, respectively, but increased public expenditure and property tax in the short run by 9.8% and 12.6%.

Copying an Existing Budget
This entry is part 8 of 16 in the series Focus Guide - BFA: Budgets
BFA supports entering data for a budget by copying the budget from an existing project. When you copy the budget from an existing project, you can choose to copy the existing project's Original, EAC, Actual, or FAC amounts and/or to apply a multiple to the Amount or Units. Furthermore, you are able to preview the rows to be copied and select which rows to include or exclude in your copy.
Using Budgets as Templates
Because of the flexibility in copying existing budgets, you can choose to create a project for the sole purpose of creating a budget with zero amounts but with line items that will be used as a "template" for other project budgets. When it is time to create a budget for a real project, you can choose which line items you want from your "template" budget through the Copy Existing option. Also, providing there is no conflict in the work-breakdown-structure of your budget, you can use the Copy Existing option multiple times. This allows you to create "templates" for sections of your budget that can be added as needed. For example, you can create a template budget that contains only "Site Construction" line items (with Cost Codes beginning in 02) and another that contains only "Electrical" line items (with Cost Codes beginning in 16) and so on. When it is time to add data to a budget in a real project, you would use the Copy Existing option to get your line items from "Site Work" and then again to get line items from "Electrical," etc. and then you would enter your amounts manually.
Note: You can copy only from a project with an Approved Budget, so even template budgets must be Approved.
To copy a budget from an existing project:
 1. From the Budget ribbon, click Copy Existing. A Retrieve Existing Budget dialog box will appear.
 2. Browse for the existing project from which you want to copy budget rows. If you want to copy the Billing Codes also, click the Copy Billings Codes? checkbox.
 3. Click Add.
 4. In the Select Import Rows box, click the Pick checkbox for those rows you want to copy.
 5. (optional) Select the Budget Source: Original, EAC, Actual, or FAC.
 6. (optional) Edit the Multiplier for the Amount or Unit as required.
 7. Click Group if you would like to group the results.
 8. Click Insert to copy the selected rows from the existing project to a new budget.
 9. In the Budget worksheet, review your copied budget and make any additions (Add New Rows), deletions (Delete Rows), and edits as needed.
 10. When you have finished entering your data, check the Revenue and Budget totals listed at the top of the columns to ensure you have entered your entire budget.
 11. Save your entries, close Excel, and return to the Spitfire Budget document.
