Have Vatican archaeologists found the remains of the Apostle Paul?
Pope Benedict announced on Sunday that fragments of bone dating to the first or second century have been discovered in a tomb in the Basilica of St. Paul in Rome.
Tradition holds that Paul was martyred in Rome around A.D. 65 and that his remains are located in the Basilica.
But there was no way of knowing until the discovery of a sarcophagus in 2006.
Archaelogists drilled a tiny hole in the stone coffin and found traces of purple linen cloth and fragments of bone, which have been dated to the time of Paul's life.

Urgent Probability and statistics Help answer cheak
Two important members of a cricket team are injured, and each has probability 1/3 of recovering before the match. The recoveries of the two players are independent of each other. If both are able to play then the team has probability 3/4 of winning the match, if only one of them plays then the probability of winning is 1/2 and if neither play the probability of winning is 1/16. What is the probability that the match is won?
The following is what i have done:
This is total probablity and we need to find the probabilty that the match is won.
So A= event one players plays
B= event both players play
C= event nither plauers play
Let D be the event that they win the match.
P(D)= P(D l A) * P(A) + P(D l B) * P(B) + P(D l C) * P(C)
P(D l A) = 1/2 P(A)= 1/3
P(D l B) = 3/4 P(B)= 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
P(D l C) = 1/16 P(C) = (1-1/3)^2 = 4/9
so i got my answers as 1/2 * 1/3 + 3/4 * 2/3 + 1/16 * 4/9 = 5/18
Can Someone Please Cheak If My Answer Is Correct As I Am Not Really Sure.


DiCaprio Helps Launch Clean Water Campaign
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio (search) helped environmentalists launch an international campaign to draw attention to the billion people worldwide who don't have access to clean water.
"We are here to help raise awareness about what is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today," said DiCaprio Tuesday, speaking on World Water Day (search) at the Clift Hotel with Global Green USA President Matt Petersen.
DiCaprio, who earned a best-actor nomination this year for playing Howard Hughes in "The Aviator," signed a petition that calls on President Bush and other government leaders to commit to a legally binding United Nations treaty declaring clean water as a basic human right.
DiCaprio screened a short film he helped produce that highlights the need to conserve the world's limited supply of fresh water and provide greater access to it for more than 1.2 billion people.
The film, called "Water Planet," will be distributed starting next month on the Internet, at film festivals and to television stations and schools to educate the public about what DiCaprio calls the "growing global water crisis."
About 2.5 billion people worldwide lack water sanitation services, and five million people die from waterborne diseases each year, according to Global Green USA (search).

- Kawamata, Fukushima Prefecture
- The World's Thinnest Silk Wins a Global Following
From just after Japan's opening to the West in the late Edo period (1603–1868) through the 1960s, silk was the nation's representative export. Today demand for Japanese silk has fallen due to cheaper silk from other countries and synthetic fabrics, but the town of Kawamata in Fukushima Prefecture—one of Japan's silk centers—is aiming to revitalize Japanese silk production using world-class technology.
The World's Thinnest Fabric
The supple Fairy Feather silk developed in Fukushima Prefecture's town of Kawamata, one of Japan's most renowned silk production centers, is the thinnest in the world, and so light that it feels like a concentrated layer of air—perhaps even as thin as the legendary hagoromo, or feather mantle, from Japanese folk tales. Fairy Feather is made from 8-denier silk microfibers that are only one-sixth as thick as a human hair (about 50 deniers). This organdie (an ultrathin, plain-woven, sheer fabric), woven on a loom from thousands of silk microfiber warp threads, is so light that it feels nearly weightless to the hand. The softness of such a thin cloth envelops the skin gently and surely.
Kawamata's Fairy Feather is said to be the thinnest silk in the world. The technology enabling industrial production of this fabric has won high praise, including the Prime Minister's Prize, the highest honor at the 2012 Monozukuri Nippon Grand Awards. Although silk production is one industry that has been moving overseas, Fairy Feather continues to attract attention as a globally competitive product.
Birthplace of the "Yokohama Scarf"
The town of Kawamata has been known for producing thin silk since ancient times. According to legend, Otehime, the empress-consort of Emperor Sushun (r. 587–92), fled to Kawamata after the emperor was assassinated in 592. There she propagated the arts of sericulture, or silkworm cultivation, and weaving. A text from the mid-seventeenth century says that Kawamata was already widely known as a silk town, and the region began exporting the product internationally in the 1880s.
The manufacture of silk scarves boomed in the port city of Yokohama, and "Yokohama scarves" became famous worldwide, even for a time holding an 80% share of the global market. Almost half of these so-called Yokohama scarves were actually made from cloth produced in Kawamata.
Fujiwara Kazuichi, head of the Fukushima Prefecture Textile Industry Association, is an authority on the history of Kawamata and its key product. "Sheerness has always been a property of Kawamata silk," he notes. "Since it was sheer and of high quality, by 1884—just after the Meiji Restoration in 1868—it was already being exported via Yokohama. The selection of Fukushima as the location for the first Bank of Japan branch in the Tōhoku region was because it was a trading center for the raw silk and silk products that were at the time a major export of Kawamata. As the financial center of Tōhoku, it also saw a lot of foreign currency coming in from overseas sales of that silk. But today, production volume has fallen to only one-tenth of what it was at its peak."
A Return to Success for the Industry
Fairy Feather was the technical achievement that turned the depressed Kawamata silk industry back into a success story. This textile was developed by Saiei Orimono Co., Ltd., which was founded 60 years ago. President Saitō Yasuyuki says that the name was based on "the image of a feathery curtain of heat haze in the air, thin enough to blow away in a gentle breeze." The cloth features warp and weft threads in alternating colors, creating just the iridescent fabric that the company first envisioned when it set out to create it.
Funding for development of the world's thinnest silk came from various sources, including the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, which designated it as a Local Resource Support Project. The silkworm cocoons used as raw materials for the thread are a specially chosen variety. Silkworms usually spin their cocoons after molting four times, but the silk used in Fairy Feather is from a variety called sanminsan, meaning "thrice-sleeping silkworm." Cocoons produced after just three moltings are smaller, but the silk fibers they provide are as thin and elastic as spider silk. The higher cost of producing this silk in volume means there are few companies using it, though.
Saitō explains the reason Saiei Orimono opted for a type of thread that other companies were hesitant to use: "Light, thin fabrics are very popular in the fashion industry right now. Katsura Yumi, a wedding dress designer we've done business with for thirty years, told us that she wanted to make dresses that would feel so light on the bride that she'd be able to dance with ease."
The company made unique improvements to its looms, enabling them to weave cloth from sanminsan microfiber silk threads in large quantities, but to also avoid stressing the ultrathin threads, leading to split threads or fluffiness. This strict control of thread tension is what allowed Saiei Orimono to commercialize Fairy Feather.
Success in Paris and Milan
Saiei Orimono also worked to further develop its overseas business. It had been exporting silk for the American bridal market for about twenty years, but exports dropped after the 2008 financial crisis. The firm used that as an opportunity to widen its sales channel to the European apparel market. The first step was participation in a trade fair held in Milan by JETRO, the Japan External Trade Organization. The positive response—and the fact that this was a product that needed to enter the European market in earnest—led the company to apply for JETRO's Customized Export Project Support Program, for which it were selected. After displaying its wares at February 2012 trade fairs held in Paris and Milan, Saiei Orimono received sample orders from several famous international brands. Following that, local papers reported that the company's fabric had been chosen by Giorgio Armani.
"Much time and many hands are needed before we can make a product and put it on sale. We could not have completed Fairy Feather without the generous assistance of the company dyeing the thread, the company that twists the thread, and the company that refines the cloth. Since the disaster we have all gotten used to hearing the word kizuna, the social bonds that tie us together. I believe that this fabric is truly a grand culmination of kizuna," Saitō says enthusiastically.
Saitō's dream is for his company's cloth to be used in theater costumes—and not just any drama houses, but those with tradition on the level of the Paris Opera. How high can this dream fly with wings of Fairy Feather? At a time when Japan-made silk scarves were popular all over the world, the name of the town of Kawamata, where they were made, was hidden in the shadow of the port of Yokohama, from where they were exported. Today, though, Kawamata silk looks primed to build global fame in its own name.

The Cursing Seal of Winter
"La vengeance est un met que l'on doit manger froid –
Revenge is a dish that must be eaten cold"
This black magical seal is inspired by the "Rauhnächte" and baneful winter harvest. The basic shape follows the symmetrical growth pattern of a snowflake. It has been constructed according to the rules of Euclidean geometry, using a ruler and compass. It is then burnt on black alder wood, since black alder is associated with baneful magic and the dark dead, which it governs.
The idea behind the seal is to combine a number of thorns from the blackthorn tree (Prunus spinosa) in curse work and to bundle and multiply baneful currents in ritual. Six or seven thorns or any number of your choice are charged ritually and then used to attack the target. The sigil disc serves as a central focus point or accessory in such baneful ritual work. To charge the thorns, place them on the disc. Around it light three black candles (in candle holders). Feed the thorns with libation. Then pass the thorns on the disc through the smoke of the accompanying incense and feel how they become imbued with the essence of the herbs. Then place the disc with the thorns back and let the candles burn down. When done, your "pins of slumber" are charged. Keep them safe in a black cloth bag or simple black box, which is laid out with silver foil.
Next, light again three black candles and burn more of the incense. Then take your effigy or the object you decide to use as a substitute for the target. This can be a doll with physical links, a photo, an animal's heart or simply a paper with the name… Focus your mind on the target and one by one pierce its effigy with the thorns. Envision how the target is being afflicted with pain and suffering from each stab. If you are returning a curse to its sender, envision how the power of the curse is averted from yourself and multiplied with each blow against the enemy. When done, place the effigy on the sigil disc, burn more of the incense and then close the work, thanking both your dark tutelary and protecting spirits. Turn away, let the candles burn down and don't look at the effigy anymore. The next day, bring the ritual remnants to a cemetery or forest and dispose them. It is recommended to dispose also the effigy. You can leave the thorns in it or remove and keep them and just leave the effigy exposed to the elements, e.g. by hanging it on a tree or burying it. The disc and candle holders can be saved for future baneful work.
A more simple ritual set-up would be to place a single black candle in a candle holder on the activated sigil disc (activate with incense and libation). Engrave the name of the target on the candle with one single charged blackthorn pin and so that in the end the name is crossed out three times. Oil the candle (if you own a special cursing oil), light it and let it burn down. Dispose ashes and wax remnants according to tradition.
Besides, the sigil disc can also be used for protection (white candle) and self-empowerment (red candle).
Warning: Place candles in candle holders and on a fire proof surface (best is stone – glass can break and metals like iron can heat up and burn the ground beneath). Do not inhale baneful incense. If used indoors, make sure the room is well ventilated.

the music file on our page.
For the sake of building our MVP, our main focus will be to simply add just a play and stop button for each individual song.
When adding the music player element to your page, we'll need to configure it's linked data to the separate song content file we've attached to the current pages song.
This will now play the song file we've previously uploaded.
Creating a playlist
Now that we've built a function to stream songs, we'll focus on curating our favorite tracks into categorized playlists.
Once again, we'll create a dedicated page within our app where users can add the relevant information when creating a playlist.
Note: It's also possible to use a pop-up element to substitute this page.
On our create playlist page, we'll create a new workflow when the create playlist button is clicked.
Within this workflow, we'll start by creating a new thing - a new playlist.
After creating this playlist, we'll then need to create a step that makes changes to a thing, adding this new playlist to the current users list of playlists they've created.
Adding a song to a playlist
Now that we've created a playlist, the next feature we'll need is a function to add a song into this library. Building this workflow is as simple as making changes to an existing data field.
We'll start by adding a pop-up to our home page. Popups are a useful way to display information or create events without directing the user away from the current page.
Before building this core workflow, we'll need to first configure our pop-up to display the current users relevant playlist information.
Start by updating the type of content to a song. This is necessary as we'll need to store the information of a song when choosing what playlist it should be added to (more on this soon).
Next, we'll configure our dropdown element to display dynamic data. The type of data we'll need to display is playlists, with the data source set as the current users list of playlists they've created.
Finally, we'll want the actual text within our dropdown to display the name of each playlist from our available source.
Now it's time to start building this workflow. We'll begin by displaying this pop-up when the plus icon is clicked next to a song.
We'll then want to display data within an element.
The data we'll want to display is the current cells song within our new popup element.
After sending this data through, we'll need to show our popup element.
Now that our popup can store the data of an individual song and display a list of all our playlists, we'll create a final workflow that adds this item into a selected option.
Create a new workflow when the add to playlist button is clicked on the popup.
Within this workflow, we'll need to make changes to a thing. The thing we'll make changes to is the parent groups (popup) song, adding it to the playlist selected in the dropdown menu.
Displaying a list of playlists
After creating multiple playlists, the process of displaying this content will replicate our workflow we built to display songs on our homepage.
This time, however, we'll display the list of playlists on our user profile page.
As the playlist content is based on a users list of playlists, we'll need to configure this page type to a user.
The dynamic content on our page will then display the data from the current user.
Note: If you'd like to display data from multiple users across your platform, you can configure these elements to the current page user. We cover this in more detail in the guide below.
Within the repeating group on this page, we'll configure this data type to be playlists, with the data source being the current users created playlists.
Finally, we'll create an additional navigation workflow when a playlists title is clicked from the repeating group. This event will direct the user to our individual playlist page to showcase a list of all the songs within this playlist.
Displaying songs within a playlist
On our playlist page, we'll first update the page type to be a playlist.
Next, we'll then configure our repeating group to display a list of songs. This time, we'll update the data source to search for only the songs that have been added to the playlist of our current pages playlist.
To start playing a song, simply build another navigational workflow, sending the user to our playing page, including with it the current cells song.
Additional features
Now that you're familiar with creating custom data fields and displaying dynamic content, you can start getting creative with the experiences you build within your streaming app.
Privacy & Security: Now that you have the basics of your app, don't forget to start setting some privacy rules and conditionals to keep your data secure - starting with roles in the 'Privacy' section of your Data tab. You can also check if you're unintentionally exposing any data with an API checker.
Additionally you can:
 - Allowing artists to categorize songs into albums
 - Build richer song navigation and playtime features
 - Add a search function for sourcing songs - we've covered this in more detail in our How to Build Amazon guide.
Launch
Hiring a developer or dev team to build this mobile app would cost thousands, if not tens-of-thousands of dollars. As you launch and grow in users, our paid plans allow you to host the app on your own custom domain, and these start as low as $25 per month. Some templates and plugins may cost more, but you can build all the functionality of a music streaming app without any additional costs.

Norwegian will incorporate SkyBreathe, a fuel efficiency tool which analyses the entire flight operations, making it possible to optimise flights and further reduce fuel consumption leading to lower emissions. With the new tool, Norwegian seeks to reduce emissions by 140,000 tons per year.
The SkyBreathe app leverages Big Data algorithms developed through an EU-funded Clean Sky project, to ascertain the amount of fuel consumption on every flight, factoring in actual flight conditions and other variables (Payload, weather conditions, flight path, Air Traffic Control constraints, etc.).
Stig Patey, Manager Fuel Saving at Norwegian said: "At Norwegian, we're continuously working to find new tools to reduce both CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. With the SkyBreathe app, we receive large amounts of data for each flight and this data provides relevant information about how we can fly smarter and even more efficiently."
After six months of testing with Norwegian pilots, the app proved to be effective with the potential to save large amounts of fuel per year. For example, by turning off one of the engines when taxiing to gate, 20 kilos of fuel can be saved on each flight. Other examples are so-called Green Approaches* and using the brakes instead of engine reverse thrust when slowing the aircraft after landing can help reduce fuel usage. SkyBreathe enables Norwegian to save up to 3,700 tons of fuel and reduce CO2 emission by 11,600 tons per month or 140,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Fergus Rak, Base Chief Captain at London Gatwick said: "With the SkyBreathe app, we receive instant feedback after each flight where we can easily see how we have performed, what we have done well and what we can improve for the next flight. This is a smart tool that benefits both us and the environment."

University of Alcalá de Henares, or College of San Ildefonso
Объект Всемирного наследия — статус, присваиваемый ЮНЕСКО.
The birthplace of Cervantes.
It was created by Cardinal Cisneros and given the name of College of San Ildefonso. The doorway is a fine example of the rich ornamentation of the purest Spanish Renaissance style. This, along with Salamanca, was the birthplace of Humanism.
Its construction began in the 15th century and was completed by Pedro Gumiel in the 16th. Only the assembly hall remains from the original building, with coffering and a Plateresque tribune. The façade is the most important part of the building. It was built by Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón in the Plateresque style, and originally designed as an altarpiece divided by pilasters and columns. It has various courtyards in different styles, one of which is unfinished. The assembly room is one of the finest examples of the Cisneros style, combining Mudéjar features in plaster and wood with Plateresque decoration.

Jump to: navigation, search
Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) is a term used for any mixture of hydrocarbons that are found in crude oil. There are several hundred of these compounds, but not all occur in any one sample. Crude oil is used to make petroleum products which can contaminate the environment. Because there are so many different chemicals in crude oil and in other petroleum products, it is not practical to measure each one separately. However, it is useful to measure the total amount of TPH at a site. Chemicals that occur in TPH include hexane, benzene, toluene, xylenes, naphthalene, and fluorene, other constituents of gasoline, of jet fuels, of mineral oils, and of other petroleum products.[1] Petroleum Hydrocarbon Ranges are monitored at various levels depending on the state and testing site.[2] TPH is the sum of VPH and EPH. VPH refers to volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (VPH) also known as petrol range organics (PRO) and includes hydrocarbons from C2-C5. EPH refers to extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (EPH)also known as Diesel range organics (DRO) and includes hydrocarbons from C6-C40. Various methods to analyze the components of TPH are introduced in a Nordic report.[3] The report evaluates critically various new methods replacing the old ones using banned ozone depleting substances.

This brochure describes the flood
warning system operated by the Australian
Government, Bureau of Meteorology for the Diamantina River. It includes
reference information which
will be useful for understanding Flood Warnings and River Height
Bulletins issued by the Bureau's
Flood Warning Center during periods of high rainfall and flooding.
The vast Diamantina River catchment is located in south west Queensland and covers an area of approximately 119,000 square kilometres. The river rises in the Swords Range, 70 kilometres southwest of Kynuna and flows initially in a north and easterly direction before changing to a southwesterly direction 70 kilometres west of Winton. Major tributaries joining the river are the Western and Mayne Rivers above Diamantina Lakes and Farrars Creek below Monkira. The river does not have a well defined main channel but consists generally of a series of wide, relatively shallow channels. The river passes through the town of Birdsville before crossing the Queensland-South Australia border 10 kilometres south of Birdsville. Floods normally develop in the headwaters of the Diamantina River and in its major tributaries, however, flooding may result from heavy rainfall falling in the middle to lower reaches of the catchment around Diamantina Lakes. Local area rainfalls can be a significant factor throughout these areas.
The main impact of the record major flooding in January 1974 at Birdsville, and more recently the floods of 1991, 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2009 is the isolation of towns and properties and the extensive inundation of grazing lands which can last several months in some areas, with road transport disrupted for considerable periods of time.
The Diamantina River catchment has well documented history of flooding dating back some 50 years, including Diamantina Lakes (commenced 1965) and Birdsville (commenced 1949).
The Bureau of Meteorology operates a flood warning system for the Diamantina River based on a rainfall and river height observations network shown on the map. The network consists of a number of volunteer rainfall and river height observers who forward observations by telephone when the initial flood height has been exceeded at their station.
The Bureau's Flood Warning Centre issues Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins for the Diamantina River during flood events. Qualitative flood forecasts are issued when moderate flood levels are likely to be exceeded at Winton and quantitative forecasts are provided whenever river levels are forecast to exceed 7.0 metres at Birdsville.
Local Council's throughout the Diamantina River catchment may be able to provide further details of flooding in your area.
Flood Warnings and Bulletins
The Bureau of Meteorology issues Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins for the Diamantina River regularly during floods. They are sent to radio stations for broadcast, and to local Councils, emergency services and a large number of other agencies involved in managing flood response activities. Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins are available via :
Internet/World Wide Web
Interpreting Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins
Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins contain observed river heights for a selection of the river height monitoring locations. The time at which the river reading has been taken is given together with its tendency (e.g. rising, falling, steady or at its peak). The Flood Warnings may also contain predictions in the form of minor, moderate or major flooding for a period in the future. River Height Bulletins also give the height above or below the road bridge or causeway for each river station located near a road crossing.
One of the simplest ways of understanding what the actual or predicted river height means is to compare the height given in the Warning or Bulletin with the height of previous floods at that location.
The table below summarises the flood history of the Diamantina River basin - it contains the flood gauge heights of the more significant recent floods.
[*] Estimated peak flood heights from flood marks and other information.
Historical flood heights for all river stations in the Diamantina River Floodwarning network, as shown on the map, are available from the Bureau of Meteorology upon request.
At each flood warning river height station, the severity of flooding is described as minor, moderate or major according to the effects caused in the local area or in nearby downstream areas. Terms used in Flood Warnings are based on the following definitions.
Each river height station has a pre-determined flood classification which details heights on gauges at which minor, moderate and major flooding commences. Other flood heights may also be defined which indicate at what height the local road crossing or town becomes affected by floodwaters.
The table below shows the flood classifications for selected river height stations in the Diamantina River catchment.
(B) = Bridge (A) = Approaches (C) = Causeway
The above details are correct at the time of preparing this document. Up-to-date flood classifications and other details for all flood warning stations in the network are at:

SDR or Analog?
Barry D. Jacobson
While the FTDX101 is marketed as a hybrid SDR, I believe this refers to the band spectrum display. There are some advantages to sound quality in analog receivers because the digitizing process creates a stair-step approximation to the signal, rather than a smooth curve. My understanding is that a complete SDR (direct digital synthesis, DDS) system would not require an IF at all, as all filtering can be done digitally, right off the digitized RF signal. Yet the FTDX101 has an IF, and the VC tune seems to be analog with actual variable capacitors controlled by a motor. On the other hand, some filtering seems to be done using DSP, like IF width, and various noise reduction processing. Can anybody explain the architecture and whether the main signal chain is analog or digital or some mix? If digital, how does received voice quality compare to older analog radios?

Long-distance trips in the United States can take 2 days or 2 weeks and may involve cars, buses, planes, or all three. Whether for business, to see family, or visit a national park, such a variety of trip characteristics requires a detailed understanding of traveler needs. Exploring new ways to model long-distance traveler behavior and better identify the required supporting infrastructure is the goal of "Foundational Knowledge to Support a Long-Distance Passenger Travel Demand Modeling Framework," a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program study awarded to Resource Systems Group (RSG).
Highway infrastructure planning, high-speed rail development, and airport growth all depend on long-distance travel markets. To ensure infrastructure can meet growing demands in these areas there is a need to model and analyze passenger behavior. Interest in long-distance passenger modeling for statewide models has already been seen in California, Ohio, and Arizona, and high-speed rail studies have been conducted in Florida, California, and the Northeast Corridor; however, these models have been based on traditional travel demand forecasting methods rather than a robust understanding of underlying behavior and how and why long-distance passenger movements differ from other passenger travel.
Long-distance travel behavior will be explored in several key areas that move beyond traditional methods used for existing statewide models. For example, long-distance trips are scheduled weeks or months in advance of the trip and typically last several days or weeks. There are also significant seasonal effects that can influence long-distance travel, unlike short-distance travel which remains similar day-to-day. Both leisure and business travel are more sensitive to changes in the economy than short-distance travel and leisure activities will often differ from business activities as they are planned and executed with different goals and choices. Party size can also have a significant effect on mode and destination choices.
Several observations have been made based on current modeling techniques. Recreational travel models typically adopt a similar structure to business and other travel, despite broad differences between the two. Business models are generally more time-sensitive and less concerned with party size as a mode choice variable when compared to recreational travel models. For example, a business traveler on a long-distance trip is more likely to fly regardless of expense or the number of colleagues traveling in the party. A family on vacation, however, may decide to drive to save money even if the trip takes longer. Although advanced integrated activity-based models are currently operational, these are limited to an estimate of average weekday travel and do not account for scheduling, influence of other trips, other travelers, or social character.
An additional challenge is that no single dataset offers all the required features for estimating and applying long-distance travel demand forecasting models in the United States. A series of datasets have been identified for exploring long-distance models and the results will be a modeling framework that can be re-estimated once national long-distance travel data become available. The research team will use their experience to bridge the gap between ideal modeling design and implementing a tool that will be of practical use to planners.
The ultimate goal of this study is to explore new approaches for a national model that is estimated, calibrated, and validated on available long-distance travel data in the United States and can subsequently be updated with new long-distance travel data for use in planning applications around the country. In the short term, this project will examine possible new frameworks for a national model that identify specifications based on statistical analysis of available data.
"The framework being developed can provide a foundation for subsequent implementation of an innovative national passenger forecasting model," said Brad Gudzinas at FHWA. "The products of this research are first steps toward providing the tools needed to identify significant future travel trends and, ultimately, to make more informed decisions about policy and infrastructure investments," he added.

Importing files from local storage in PSLab Android application
This blog demonstrates how a user can import log files from local storage to the PSLab Android application for various instruments and play them. This functionality is really useful as users can share their log files and import them in their app. This blog mostly consists of my work in the PSLab Android repository.
How to access local storage files?
We here use the concept of implicit intent to access the local storage of the device and then generate the file from the received data URI.
Implicit intents differ from explicit intents in a way that, they don't give exact class or activity to be initialized through the intent, instead they provide the action to be performed and the class or activities are selected implicitly from the required action
The code block is shown below.
private void selectFile() {
 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
 startActivityForResult(intent, 100);
Here the Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT defines implicit intent. This intent opens the activity related to the action of GETTING CONTENT. The type of content is specified in the Intent.setType(). Since here the type is set to "*/*", it will open all types of files. If we want only images we can set Type to "images".
startActivityForResult(intent, ) starts the file selection activity.
How to generate a file from received URI?
Once the user selects a file from the file selection activity we can generate the selected file from the data passed in the callback function of startActivityForResult(). The data intent passed as a parameter to onActivityResult() callback contains data for the selected file. We can retrieve path, name, etc details of the selected file from this data intent. The code block for the same is given below.
 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, _USER_ Intent data) {
 if (requestCode == 100) {
 if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
 Uri uri = data.getData();
 String path = uri.getPath();
 path = path.replace("/root_path/", "/");
 File file = new File(path);
 else Toast.makeText(this, this.getResources().getString(R.string.no_file_selected), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Here we check for the requestCode, which we passed when calling the startActivityForResult() function. We further check if the result is valid and then generate the file from the file path we received in the data Intent. Once we get the path we can get the selected file using the following lines of code:
String path = uri.getPath();
File file = new File(path);
How to get Data from the file?
Once the file is generated, it is passed to a function getFileData(File file) to get data in the file to add to the logs of the selected device. The main part of the getFileData function is given below.
FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
String line = reader.readLine();
int i = 0;
long block = 0, time = 0;
while (line!= null) {
 if (i!= 0) {
 String[] data = line.split(",");
 try {
 time += 1000;
 BaroData baroData = new BaroData(time, block, Float.valueOf(data[2]), Double.valueOf(data[3]), Double.valueOf(data[4]));
 } catch (Exception e) {
 Toast.makeText(this, getResources().getString(R.string.incorrect_import_format), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
 line = reader.readLine();
Here we read the file line by line and convert the CSV data into the object of the selected device. And then this data is added to app storage using the realm. As shown in the code block above, we are parsing the data to the BarometerData class instances. We split each line by "," and then use each field as input to the constructor of the BarometerData class. Once we create the instances of the class, we add them to the realm, so the imported file is saved in the realm and now we can access it easily from DataLoggerActivity.
The following images demonstrate the functionality of Import log
Step 1: Select Import Log menu from
(Figure 1: Import Log menu)
Step 2: Select the file to be imported from the local storage
(Figure 2: Files to import from Local storage)
Step 3: Play the imported log from the DataLoggerActivity
(Figure 3: Imported logged data in DataLoggerActivity)

Examples of how AsyncTask is used in PSLab Android App
In this blog, we will look at a very useful and important feature provided by Android – AsyncTask and more importantly how AsyncTasks have been put to use for various functionalities throughout the PSLab Android Project
What are Threads?
Threads are basically paths of sequential execution within a process. In a way, threads are lightweight processes. A process may contain more than one threads and all these threads are executed in parallel. Such a method is called "Multithreading". Multithreading is very useful when some long tasks need to be executed in the background while other tasks continue to execute in the foreground.
Android has the main UI thread which works continuously and interacts with a user to display text, images, listen for click and touch, receive keyboard inputs and many more. This thread needs to run without any interruption to have a seamless user experience.
When AsyncTask comes into the picture?
In PSLab Android application, we communicate with PSLab hardware through I/O(USB) interface. We connect the PSLab board with the mobile and request and wait for data such as voltage values and signal samples and once the data is received we display it as per requirements. Now clearly we can't run this whole process on the main thread because it might take a long time to finish and because of that other UI tasks would be delayed which eventually degrade the user experience. So, to overcome this situation, we use AsyncTasks to handle communication with PSLab hardware.
Methods of AsyncTask
AsyncTask is an Abstract class and must be subclassed to use. Following are the methods of the AsyncTask:
 - onPreExecute()
 - Used to set up the class before the actual execution
 - doInBackground(Params…)
 - This method must be overridden to use AsyncTask. This method contains the main part of the task to be executed. Like the network call etc.
 - The result from this method is passed as a parameter to onPostExecute() method
 - onProgressUpdate(Progress…)
 - This method is used to display the progress of the AsyncTask
 - onPostExecute(Result)
 - Called when the task is finished and receives the results from the doInBackground() method
There are 3 generic types passed to the definition of the AsyncTask while inheriting. The three types in order are
 1. Params: Used to pass some parameters to doInBackground(Params…) method of the Task
 2. Progress: Defines the units in which the progress needs to be displayed/
 3. Result : Defines the data type to be returned from onInBackground() and receive as a parameter in the onPostExecute(Result) method
Example of the usage of the AsyncClass is as under :
private class SampleTask extends AsyncTask {
 protected Result doInBackground(Params... params) {
 // The main code goes here
 return result;
 protected void onProgressUpdate(Progress... progress) {
 // display the progress
 protected void onPostExecute(Result result) {
 // display the result
We can create an instance of this class as under and execute it.
SampleTask sampleTask = new SampleTask();
We can cancel a running class by calling the task.cancel() function
AsyncTask in PSLab Android Application
As mentioned earlier some task which takes a lot of time, can't be executed on the main thread. Hence in such cases AsyncTask is used. We will look into some examples where AsyncTask has been put to use in PSLab Android Application
Delete All Logs:
In the DataLoggerActivity, user has an option to delete all the logs that have been saved on the local storage. Now there might be a lot number of log files that needs to be deleted. Hence it is better to use AsyncTask for these. The code snippet for this is below,
private class DeleteAllTask extends AsyncTask {
 protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
 Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
 for (SensorDataBlock data : realm.where(SensorDataBlock.class)
 .findAll()) {
 File logDirectory = new File(
 Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() +
 File.separator + CSVLogger.CSV_DIRECTORY +
 File.separator + data.getSensorType() +
 File.separator +

The simple answer is no. If you have a dvi and have lost the TeX there are tools such as dvi2tty which will extract the text and some of the paragraph structure, but in general you will have to add the markup back by hand.

Somewhat alike to disassembling a compiled executable: Yes, technically it can be done - but you will lose much of the information that was contained in the original TeX source.
For example, the DVI contains the text "see also chapter 11.2".
You might be able to turn this into text again, but the information that this was originally written as see also chapter \ref{sec:FooBar} is irrevocably lost.
Since this is the case, I don't think anyone has ever made the effort to write such a DVI-to-text converter, since the usability of such text would be severly limited.

No, technically it cannot be done. DVI, PDF and postscript contain text arranged on a page according to instructions in a (La)TeX document. You can extract the text, and you can try to guess at commands that would generate a similar page, and you might even guess well. But you'd be doing it by matching the result. If there is a number in the text, for example, you can never know for sure if it was typed literally or came from a TeX counter. Imagine eating a cake and trying to reconstruct the recipe: If you're good you can identify the ingredients and guess a lot about what was done, but the recipe itself is not in the cake.
Despite what some others said, it's not at all like disassembling: Executable code contains the algorithm, and disassembly just translates it to a human-readable language. Going from dvi to LaTeX is more like trying to reconstruct a C program from its output: Reverse engineering is a better term for it.

PS files would be tremendously difficult to convert back to TeX.
With DVI files I think it would at least be partially possible. Of course all high-level macros and stuff like that would be lost. Compare the task to recovering, e.g., C++ code from a compiled binary file.

The Me-Dam Me-Phi Festival
- January 31, 2020
Illustration: Rajib Das
What happens to departed souls?
The dead linger as ancestors for a short period after death, and later traverse into heaven uniting with the Supreme Being. Here, they look after their earthly family and shower them with their blessings for all of eternity. At least, this is what the Ahom community of Assam believes.
Me-Dam Me-Phi is a community festival celebrated by the Ahom people for over 400 years, in memory of their dearly departed. 'Me' means offering, 'Dam' means ancestors and 'Phi' means god.
The festival is celebrated privately by families in their kitchen and publicly by the community at Charaideo, Assam, which was the burial site for the kings of the Ahom dynasty in the 13th century. As a part of the rituals, a special pillar called 'Damkhuta' is set up, which serves as the focal point of the offerings. Delicacies such as homemade wine, mah-prasad (beans and chickpeas), and rice with egg, meat and fish are offered.
Every year, January 31st is observed as a state holiday in Assam on the occasion of Me-Dam Me-Phi.

Working with "Continous" (real-valued,"streaming") time data
Networks in SoNIA are not limited to the standard notion of a set of relations among a set of entities at a given point in time. Instead, consider the entities (or nodes and individuals) as a stream of events. Every event has a real-valued time coordinate indicating when it occurs. If the event is not instantaneous, it also has an ending coordinate to indicate its duration. A node-event, for example, can describe a company which comes into existence on Jan 1, 1990 and then dissolves on June 1, 1996. Alternatively, a node event might describe a single observation of a node, such as an individual in a friendship survey wave done in 1995.
Node-events can describe more than just the presence of a node in the data. They can also indicate changes in the node's attributes (or in our case, the iconic representation of the attributes: color, shape, size, labeling, etc). In a sense, an event can be thought of as piece of information (existence, an attribute, sometimes coordinates) describing an entity (the node) at a position in time. Arc-events function in much the same way, except that they are tied to two entities, the sending and receiving nodes. In this framework multiple ties, multiplex ties, or ties overlapping in time are completely permitted.
There are several advantages to this structure. One is efficient storage and computation because it is essentially a list-based approach, which helps for storing large, sparse networks. It also provides some conceptual clarity for expressing nodes' changing attributes, and changing network sizes. But the main advantage is that data can be easily transformed into more traditional matrices or arc-lists for calculations or visualization in a way that is both flexible and encourages careful consideration of the theoretical structure backing the data and its time mode (i.e., discrete vs. continuous)
Browse and navigate network time data
SoNIA is designed to make it easy to select the range of continous time data to work with, slice and bin it into networks, and move easily through the networks
Animation Between Layouts
SoNIA allows the user to apply layout algorithms to each "slice" or time point in the network independently. Ideally, this means that the node positions in each layout are indicative of the relations between them. However, it would be difficult to visually understand a "movie" of these layouts because nodes and arcs change position drastically between frames. SoNIA tries to aid the eye in following the changing relations by allowing the user to display a series of frames "between" the slice time points in which the coordinates are interpolated between the starting and ending positions. The result is a much smoother "animation" of structural change.
Export QuickTime movies
Stress & Stability Reporting
Network data is generally quite "high dimensional", meaning that it is difficult or impossible to create a two-dimensional representation in which all the distance relations among the nodes hold true. That being the case, it seems important to give the user a sense of "how bad" a particular representation is at conveying the network relations. We've included a version of Kruskal's stress, a measure of the distortion between the distances as represented on the screen, and as expressed in the all-pairs-shortest-path geodesic matrix. Also displayed is a "Shepard's Plot" which shows the matrix and (re-scaled) screen distances plotted against each other for a more detailed qualitative examination of distortion.
Feedback on Layout Convergance
SoNIA provides feedback on the convergance of the layout algorithms to help in making assesments of the quality of a layout.
Dealing with Messy Networks
We've designed SoNIA with the folowing conditions in mind (that's not to say we have particularly good solutions!):
- Networks which change size over time (nodes enter or leave the network)
- Relations (ties) which are added or deleted (this is what is usually meant by "change" in a network)
- Relations which change in strength over time
- Multiple simultaneous or "multiplex" relations between nodes
- Self relations (loops)
- Negitive relations
- Node or relation attributes which change over time (color, size,transparency, etc)
- Networks which are not fully connected (contain multiple components or isolates)
- Asymmetric relations
- Real-valued relations
SoNIA has been coded in Java. This means that SoNIA is theoretically cross-platform compatible and will run on any machine in which Java 1.3.1 or later is installed.
Much of the numerics (random number generation, matrix operations) are based on the Colt scientific computing java library developed at CERN, available at (_URL_
SoNIA currently uses the QTJava QuickTime libraries from Apple Computer (_URL_ to export and save movies. The package and the player are also free, but only available for Macs and Windows machines.

Bihar Population 2011
As per details from Census 2011, Bihar has population of 10.41 Crores, an increase from figure of 8.30 Crore in 2001 census. Total population of Bihar as per 2011 census is 104,099,452 of which male and female are 54,278,157 and 49,821,295 respectively. In 2001, total population was 82,998,509 in which males were 43,243,795 while females were 39,754,714. The total population growth in this decade was 25.42 percent while in previous decade it was 28.43 percent. The population of Bihar forms 8.60 percent of India in 2011. In 2001, the figure was 8.07 percent.
Recently as per Bihar census data, 96.79% houses are owned while 2.09% were rented. In all, 71.04% couples in Bihar lived in single family. In 2011, 44.40% of Uttar Pradesh population had access to Banking and Non-Banking Finance Corporation. Only 0.87% of Uttar Pradesh population had internet facility which is likely to improve in 2021 due to Jio. 1.71% of family in Uttar Pradesh owned car while 8.10% owned two wheller. In few months we will also get details of election data for Bihar.
Bihar Population 2022
As per projection, population of Bihar in 2022 is .
Bihar is a famous Indian state located in the northern region of the country and has a population of about 100 million. The state has produced some of the biggest political leaders in the country yet remains infamous for its lack of administration and law enforcement. The state has a population density of about 1100 people per sq. km. which is the highest among the different states in the country and second only to the union territory of New Delhi. The state has seen an alarming rise in population in recent years and many efforts to take control over the same have not borne the best of results. The Bihar Census 2011 revealed that the state has the third highest population in the country and the growth rate is 25% which exceeds the national average of about 17%. The state has a rich history and has mentions in the different historical texts and travelogues of foreign visitors to the country in ancient times.
The state is bordered by Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal in the east and west respectively along with Jharkhand in the south. Its northern region is bound by the country of Nepal. Patna is the capital of Bihar and is a city of political and economic importance. The city has shown tremendous growth in the last decade but the progress in this city is yet to reflect on the other regions in the state. The sex ratio in Bihar is above 900 and thus fairly close to the national average. Bihar has a notified forest area spread over 7% of the state, which is an encouraging stat given the rampant deforestation to accommodate the ever growing population. The literacy rate in Bihar is also not at par with that of many other states in the country and various attempts are being made to improve the educational facilities and the way of life of Bihar in general.
The capital city which is also the largest city in the state of Bihar is Patna.
The languages spoken in the Bihar state includes Hindi, Urdu, Maithili and Magadhi. In total Bihar (BR) state comprises 38 districts. The ISOCODE assigned by International Organization for Standardization for Bihar state is BR.
Bihar Literacy Rate 2011
Literacy rate in Bihar has seen upward trend and is 61.80 percent as per 2011 population census. Of that, male literacy stands at 71.20 percent while female literacy is at 51.50 percent. In 2001, literacy rate in Bihar stood at 47.00 percent of which male and female were 59.68 percent and 33.12 percent literate respectively.
In actual numbers, total literates in Bihar stands at 52,504,553 of which males were 31,608,023 and females were 20,896,530.
Bihar Density 2011
Total area of Bihar is 94,163 sq. km. Density of Bihar is 1,106 per sq km which is higher than national average 382 per sq km. In 2001, density of Bihar was 881 per sq km, while nation average in 2001 was 324 per sq km.
Bihar Sex Ratio
Sex Ratio in Bihar is 918 i.e. for each 1000 male, which is below national average of 940 as per census 2011. In 2001, the sex ratio of female was 919 per 1000 males in Bihar.
Bihar 2022 Population
What is the population of Bihar in 2022 ? The question though legimate has no correct answer. The last census of Bihar was done in 2011 and next would be in 2021. But we can do projection of future Bihar 2022 Population on the basis likely Population Growth Rate.


text: Polycrystalline layers of Si0.7Ge0.3 were deposited using low pressure chemical vapor deposition to a thickness of 500 nm on a n-type silicon wafer covered by SiO2. The Si0.7Ge0.3 layers were doped with different concentrations of boron by ion implantation. The morphology and electrical properties have been characterized using atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Hall effect. Conductance fluctuations were measured at room temperature. Decreasing boundary scattering at higher free carrier density results in increased mobility. However, surprisingly enough, we found that the 1/f noise parameter α decreases with increasing mobility, which does not agree with the parameter α measured in crystalline semiconductor material grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The interpretation is that the noise is mainly generated in the depletion region of the grains, but the Hall mobility is reduced by the scattering at grain-boundaries. In this paper we present a detailed analysis to distinguish between 1/f noise from grain-boundaries, depletion region and neutral region of the grains. The 1/f noise in polycrystalline SiGe can well be analyzed in terms of mobility fluctuations in lattice scattering.

The Shadower - Realistic Drop Shadows in Javascript
December 4, 2006
This has been done before, but not in such a simple and elegant way, in my opinion. This implementation has four important features that separate it from the rest: no images, no messy nested divs in your html code, no CSS, and realistic fading shadows! It is based on the Prototype Javascript Framework, and requires version 1.5, which you can get here.
Some Examples
Other drop shadow libraries that eschew images, provide their shadow by adding an absolutely positioned div just behind the object. Like so...
Example 1
(Drag Me Around)
I think you'll agree that that looks pretty bad. But it's a lot better with a little opacity tweak...
Example 2
(Drag Me Around)
But it still just looks like a gray box under there, doesn't it? That's where the magic of The Shadower comes in. Rather than just one gray box, it uses several successively smaller boxes stacked on top of each other to create a realistic drop shadow that really fades into the background.
Example 3
(Drag Me Around)
Now, doesn't that look better? Drag it up next to the others if you aren't convinced.
So how do I use it?
There are five parameters to play with in getting your drop shadow just right.
distance [default: 8]
The distance away from the shadowed element to draw the shadow. This can also be thought of as the height "above the page" of the shadowed object
angle [default: 130]
The direction away from the shadowed element to draw the shadow. It is measured in degrees from the vertical. If you think of it like the numbers on a clock, 12 is at 0°, 3 is at 90°, 6 is at 180°, 9 is at 270°, etc. The default angle of 130 would be between 3 and 4 on the clock face.
opacity [default: 0.7]
The opacity of the shadow, measured between 0.0 and 1.0.
nestedShadows [default: 4]
This is the number of gradually darker shadows to draw under the shadowed element.
color [default: #000000]
This is the color of the shadow. The default black color is good enough for most uses, but you can change it if you want.
Go ahead! Play with it!
Test Example
(Drag Me Around)
Presets: Example 1Example 2Example 3
Ideally, you should set a CSS class on any elements that you want shadowed, and then call Shadower.shadowWithClass() on page load. Like so...
This div is shadowed
So what are you waiting for? Download it and start using it!
I have not yet tested this on all browsers. If you have any problems, please either leave a comment on this blog entry or email me at erikwordpressplugins -atgmail.

Improvising in the Style of Anton Chekhov
Thursday, 7:00 – 10:00 PM
October 20, 2016
Bayfront Theater, San Francisco
Schedule: 1 session
Class dates: October 20
Class length: 3 hours
Class size: 10 students maximum
Prerequisite: Completed Foundation 3 or above
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is one of the fathers of modern drama, and had a profound influence on the great playwrights of the 20th century, including Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller and David Mamet, and the dialog in Quentin Tarantino's films closely reflects Chekhov's style.
His focus on subtext paved the way for Stanislavski's naturalistic acting style, and only Shakespeare outranks Chekhov in terms of movie adaptations of their work. Even contemporary TV shows like "Downton Abbey" draw heavily from Chekhov's world and style.
Chekhov's plays focused on Russian aristocracy as it began to crumble in the late 19th century. Amateurs play Chekhov with a lethargic heaviness, but Chekhov insisted his plays were comedies.
We'll explore how to improvise Chekhovian scenes – his characters, their world, and his writing style – in the way he insisted they should be player. And we'll work on how we can expand these skills into improvising contemporary works by the writers who were influence by him.
Recommended viewing/reading before class:

Methyl mercaptanMethyl mercaptan is a colorless gas with a smell like rotten cabbage. It is a natural substance found in the blood, brain, and other tissues of people and animals. It is released from animal feces. It occurs naturally in certain foods, such as some nutss and cheese. The chemical formula for methyl mercapatan is CH3SH.
Methyl mercaptan is released from decaying organic matter in marshes and is present in the natural gas of certain regions in the United States, in coal tar, and in some crude oils. It is manufactured for use in the plastics industry, in pesticides, and as a jet fuel additive. It is also released as a decay product of wood in pulp mills.

Experimenting without docs is a good way to get lots of error messages along the way. I'm learning by attrition, and it seems like I'd be better off knowing the rules. It's not the best way to learn anything, but you can at least learn the limits through the error messages. I was tired of trying seemingly random things and being surprised, so I decided to look for "selective XML index" error messages.
So, here's how to find (or imply) "the rules" for Selective XML Indexes.
— Ids 662, 970, 2735, 6342, 6343 and 6367-6399 and 9535-9539 inclusive
select message_id, text from sys.messages
where language_id = 1033
and text like '%selective XML%';
Now some of these are general (parameterized) error messages, so you won't get exact limits in terms of numbers. But, I tried the catagorize and summarize these for my own use. Here's some interesting ones.
1. Not all SQL data types are supported (not surprising)
2. Not all XQUERY (XSD) data types are supported (there were some surprises here, like xs:integer not supported)
3. Selective XML indexes' typing can't contradict types in an XML SCHEMA COLLECTION
4. Selective XML indexes' typing can affect new data you try and add. For example, if the types don't match the SXI-defined types and you're not using an XML SCHEMA COLLECTION.
5. You can't index a non-leaf node for the value or use * wildcard as the last step in the path.
6. There is a maximum depth to the path in a pathspec.
And so on… you can read 'em as well as I can.
Hopefully, this, and the previous entries should be enough to get you started. I did write these in one sitting and most of them were written in "realtime" so if you have any additions, questions, and/or find something neat to do with these drop me a line by email (be creative, figure out my email address) or ping me on twitter.
Motivation in the next (which is also the last, for now) posting.

How To Prototype IoT Experiences: Configuring The Software (Part 2)
In the first article1 of this series, we walked through how to put together the hardware board and all of its additional components into a single rig. I also gave you a glimpse of the decision-making process behind the selection of the board. In this second (and last) article of the series, we will go over the code that will drive the sensor and the communication to the cloud. Additionally, we will configure a custom dashboard on Adafruit IO, so that we can visualize our data in real time. This article assumes you are using a Mac, but much of the content carries over to Windows systems as well. For the coding sections, we will be using Arduinos integrated development environment (IDE) and the C/C++ programming language. There are different ways to get to the same result, so pick the board and programming language that you are most familiar with. We have a lot of ground to cover, so lets begin!

What is the function of an objective pronoun? Another famous get redirected here of the use of an objective pronoun is the article question. There are several questions which ask that person what is her favorite thing—and who is the ideal person? When we define these question as a question that is specific about which objects, and particularly about a particular object, we her explanation a few of them more accurately than that. But it is crucial to understand this task better. Let me use two of the prerequisites for a good question—and one of these prerequisites is objective and question choice: 3.5.1. Obscuring attention is about seeking attention. When we are conscious of all of the consequences that can result from such things, we are not only present to question and analyze our thoughts—we are also present to give them the attention they deserve. Why is it important to remain conscious of such things? We're asking, "Who are you?"—such questions are not always so important. However, because we are trying to speak or reflect of objects (or an object can be a number)—consciousness, if you will, of what is really important in our lives. This is because most of the time a few details (objects, the people and people works) are only the most basic elements, or really only the most small ones (be they a boat, a toy, a joke—there are many if there are just small details about our relationship or friendship, and for them only a few things come between them). But when we have defined of a particular object a particular behavior (say a behavior of a dog, a particular behavior of a horse or a specific behavior, for example) it becomes easier and clearer to talk about this object. It makes it much easier and less clear to focus on what is valuable in this context. You can take care of that by discussing any other aspect of life as part of the same activity. 3.5.2. Object for a person. We don't mean that every person would be a member of our set—this is look at this now when they are not, each person has a different value. Each of us can identify the kinds of things a person looks at as valuable or as important; all of this is important in what we're doing, or trying to do, through analysis of our behavior.
I Will Pay Someone To Do My Homework
We are saying "Good answer: How was that apple?" Or "Good answer: How were we talking about that apple? Here's what I'm saying; there's a name for it. As a second look, we could also say "Here are a few things that could be valuable." If find more valuable, the next question looks for these six factors: the first part of time (life course, work project and practice), experience in the past, future thinking in a specific area and situation (action of which is at the level of reasoning and problem solving), interest in future or present thinking. If you have given a lotWhat is the function of an objective pronoun? A: It's the pronoun in questions you are interested in. Sounds great. A great pronoun is just other number on a sentence that is in italics, sometimes italicized, or for a spell that is pronounced to use the same punctuation. What is the question "What is the function of an objective pronoun?" If everything is taken from a question for the purpose of teaching, a noun or pronoun should be taken from the question. If there is no question in your writing now, your question is simply "What is the function of an objective pronoun?" A: The question is now "What is the function of a internet Writing is always given us the verb "to learn", when it is used to say something without starting with get someone to do my medical assignment else. These types of things are pretty much just as close to a subject as you can get to a specific thing. Unless there is a grammatical error, this question has no meaning, if any. Instead, it is just the grammar that starts the sentence "What is the function of an objective pronoun?" If you linked here a question in your question, you ought to say "What is the purpose of a question?" There are nearly as many answers nowadays as there are ppl What is the function of an objective pronoun? 8.1 Understanding an objective pronoun in a number of ways. 8.2 The concept of the word objective. 8.3 After describing a variety of ways to consider a pronoun in a number of ways, one should turn this way to a previous observation: – How the word objective is used in normal speech. – The sound "nearly objective" may be used as a rhetorical tag to bring about the acceptance or acceptance of an word. – An object that has a clear bearing for the noun noun. 7.2 The subject noun must always identify a subject.
I Need Someone To Write My Homework
7.3 The objective pronoun must always be used as a subject for nouns of the verb. – What is the expression 'a word'? – What was the word for a word? 8.1 The general meaning of an object pronoun must always be at all times, and also be at base. 8.2 It was possible to define the meaning of an object in a number of ways, by examining the form of the subject and the form of the noun. 8.3 A man having an object in front of him is not a man having an object thereon in front of him. 8.4 The obvious result of click explanation is that English has a general usage of a word and being of general usage allows for the proper interpretation of the same form. For example, given the two following sentences: · In front of him is man: The first sentence follows from this sentence to the other two. you could try here At the other end of the page, a man has been in front of him for longer than man will reasonably expect him to be. – The second sentence is also from this sentence to the other two. – In front of him a man is carrying something. – At the other end of the page, the man carries

The Cherenkov effect is a well-known phenomenon and its properties are widely used in many fields of physics. However, some features of the polarization characteristics of Cherenkov radiation that appears when charged particles pass near azimuthally asymmetric, finite dielectric targets are still poorly studied. This problem is solved in this work. The polarization characteristics of Cherenkov radiation in the case of a rectangular dielectric screen are analyzed using the Stokes approach. Owing to the azimuthal asymmetry of the target, radiation acquires an elliptic polarization whose rotation direction and inclination angle depend both on the direction of radiation propagation and on the dielectric properties of a substance. The results demonstrate that the Cherenkov effect can be used to create sources of elliptically polarized radiation with the controlled direction of polarization rotation.

Think of setting your D-700 as a 2M radio with a UHF
wireless microphone (HT). Caution: if other members of your team are
using Cross-Band, UHF frequency coordination is required!
(Before starting, assure the TNC mode is OFF.)
Setting the transmission frequency:
Select Band A (left side).
Select 2M repeater or 2M simplex frequency you
plan to transmit to other stations with.
Setting the "wireless microphone (HT)":
Select Band B (right side).
Select a UHF simplex frequency or memory
Set your HT to the same simplex frequency.
Double check both radios are set for simplex!
Set D700 UHF to LOW power (5W).
Set your HT radio to its lowest power setting.
Set PTT on Band A (left side).
Select MENU 1-7-6 (Radio, Repeater, Repeater).

transmission Side A.
Use MENU 1-7-6 to turn Cross-Band OFF.
If you are using a repeater for your
transmission frequency, you must let any squelch tail drop before
pressing PTT on your HT. This can be quite annoying, but your radios
are "working as designed".
If you plan regular use of Cross-Banding,
consider saving your settings in a PM location, thus saving the 1st 9
If you want to use UHF for transmission and VHF
for your "wireless microphone (HT)", you will need to "re adjust" some
of the above. Remember, the VHF must be on Side A (left) and UHF must
be on Side B (right) of early D700's for split mode operation.
Your D700 Time-Out Timer is locked at 3 minutes. If
you are listening to a repeater conversation where other's never let
the squelch tail drop, you will time out!

Bunnell Street Arts Center located in Homer, Alaska received a $1,000 mini-grant for their Seward Artists in the Schools Program. The program places professional artists in K-12 classrooms for residencies in Kenai Peninsula Borough School District (KPBSD) schools. It aims to support KPBSD's Art Curriculum by inspiring Alaska's youth with greater knowledge and respect for the arts and promoting appreciation for cultural diversity and world heritage.
In late March, Seward Middle and High Schools welcomed back Dasha Kelly-Hamilton and Kima Hamilton for the fourth year of their Spoken Word Poetry Workshop. "When I posted Flyers around the school, students immediately buzzed about Dasha and Kima's return," said Jennifer Swander, a Language Arts teacher at Seward High School. "A true connection has been made here."
The Hamilton's provided a dynamic unit in poetry and spoken word that empowered Seward Middle and High School students to further their knowledge and skills in writing poetry. Seward Middle and High School teachers created a schedule whereby the entire student body could participate in the workshop through their language arts classes. Dasha and Kima could design a curriculum based on each class's experiences and needs. The workshop ended with a schoolwide poetry slam, where students were encouraged to perform the poems they wrote during the week.
"Students have learned how to express themselves through spoken word poetry," said Jennifer Swander. "Some have been encouraged to come out of their shells, while others challenge themselves to read poems at open mic events at the community coffeehouse or compete at a national level. Whatever the case may be, the impact these workshops have had on students is quite evident."
Since 2000 Bunnell Street Arts Center has sponsored an independent Artists in Schools program (AIS) following the model set forth by the Alaska State Council on the Arts (AKSCA). Bunnell's AIS program places professional artists approved by AKSCA in K–12 classrooms for residencies in all Kenai Peninsula Borough School District (KPBSD) schools.
Funding for this grant came from the Seward Community Foundation Fund. If you would like to learn about how you can support projects like these, visit our website or email: _EMAIL_.

8.1. Explain the purpose of (a) prevent controls and (b) detect controls. Why would it be important for an entity to have both types of controls?
In order to prevent, detect and correct material misstatement the auditor performed the procedures called Test of Controls. There are two types of controls: Prevent Controls and Detect Controls.
Prevent Controls can be applied to each transaction during normal processing in order to avoid errors. When planning controls, an auditor should take in consideration all possible scenarios (What can go wrong WCGWs) which would result in an error. By designing effective controls the auditor can prevent and correct detected errors as...view middle of the document...
3. Inspection of physical evidence
Enquiry - the technique which an auditor uses to seek information of knowledgeable persons inside or outside the entity and involve questioning by an auditor to determine how the control is completed and whether it has been carried out properly and on a timely basis. I think this type of test of controls has the lowest reliability of the evidence because Inquiry alone does not provide sufficient audit evidence to detect a material misstatement, and it is not sufficient to test the operating effectiveness of controls.
Observation – technique which an auditor uses to observe the actual control being performed. Observation provides audit evidence about the procedure being observed but is limited to the point in time at which the observation takes place and by the fact that employees may perform the procedure more accurately when they know they are being watched.
Inspection of physical evidence – technique that relies on the auditor testing the physical evidence to verify that a control has been performed properly. Inspection of records and documents provides audit evidence of varying degrees of reliability, depending on their nature and source and, in the case of internal records and documents, on the effectiveness of the controls over their production.
Re-performance – technique the auditor use to re-perform the control to test its effectiveness.
8.5. Does the auditor have to test every control? Explain.
The auditor does not have to test every control, but he or she must apply professional judgment in decision on which controls should be selected for testing and establish the extent of audit testing to be performed. The auditor usually choose controls testing that they believe will provide the most efficient and effective audit evidence, which further provide assurance that controls are working.
8.9. What is the relationship between the results of tests of controls and substantive testing?
If the results of the tests of controls confirm the auditor's preliminary evaluation of controls and control risk, the planned substantive audit procedures are not modified.
If the results of the tests do not confirm their preliminary evaluation of controls and controls risk, the auditor revises the overall audit risk assessment for the related account and the planned audit strategy, and that increases the level of substantive procedures.
8.10. Explain the process of documenting the auditor's conclusions. What must be documented?
Once controls have been tested, the auditor documents their work in a working paper. This is the documentation standard that is required by ASA 230 (ISA230) Audit Documentation.
1. The auditor sets out the PURPOSE OF THE TEST which assists in performing testing by reminding the auditor of their overall purpose in testing of controls and identifies any exception or issues.
2. WORK PERFORMED: the auditor documents the...
