Scenic Trips to the Geologic Past #
Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad
By H. L. James, 1972, 73 pp., 51 figs.
A historic, geographic, and geologic trip on the famed CATS Railway from Chama, New Mexico, to Antonito, Colorado, with milepost-by-milepost rail log in both direc- tions. A historic and geologic excursion along the route of the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway-crisscrossing the ColoradoNew Mexico border 11 times. Made possible by the only interstate railroad author-ity of its type in the U.S., the 65 mi run along the southern slopes of the San Juan Mountains crosses valley floors, alpine meadows, pine and aspen forests, and parallels the 1,100 ft Toltec gorge. The notes on geography, geology, and a reprint of a sub- stantial part of The Crest of the Continent, a classic account by mineralogist Ernest Ingersoll of his 1883 trip on the same narrow-gauge railroad, are of special interest. Cumbres Pass, over 10,000 ft in elevation, is the highest railroad grade in North America.

TY - JOUR T1 - Mindfulness-based intervention in preterm young adolescents: benefits on neurobehavioural functioning and its association with white-matter microstructural changes JF - medRxiv DO - 10.1101/2021.10.20.21265246 SP - 2021.10.20.21265246 AU - Vanessa Siffredi AU - Maria Chiara Liverani AU - Dimitri Van De Ville AU - Lorena G.

Previous research has shown significant evidence of the benefits of mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on these abilities. This study aims to assess the association between the effects of MBI on neurobehavioral functioning and changes in white-matter microstructure in VPT young adolescents who completed an 8-week MBI program. Neurobehavioural assessments and multi-shell diffusion MRI were performed before and after MBI in 32 VPT young adolescents. Combined diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) measures were extracted on well-defined white matter tracts (TractSeg). A multivariate data-driven approach (partial least squares correlation) was used to explore associations between MBI-related changes on neurobehavioural measures and microstructural changes. Our finding showed an enhancement of global executive functioning after MBI that was associated with a general pattern of significant increase in fractional anisotropy (FA) and decrease in axonal dispersion (ODI) in white-matter tracts involved in executive processes. Young VPT adolescents with lower gestational age at birth showed the greatest gain in white-matter microstructural changes after MBI.HighlightsVery preterm adolescents (VPT) completed an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention (MBI)Improvement in overall executive functioning was observed after MBIExecutive gain was associate with white-matter microstructural changesThe increase in microstructural properties was in tracts involved in executive processesVPT with lower gestational age show bigger gains in microstructural changesCRediT roles Vanessa Siffredi: Conceptualization; Data curation; Formal analysis; Investigation; Methodology; Project administration; Software; Visualization; Writing - original draft; Writing - review & editing - Maria Chiara Liverani: Conceptualization; Data curation; Investigation; Methodology; Project administration; Writing - review & editing. - Dimitri Van De Ville: Methodology; Resources; Software; Supervision; Writing - review & editing. - Lorena Freitas: Data curation; Investigation; Writing - review & editing. - Cristina Borradori Tolsa: Conceptualization; Funding acquisition; Investigation; Project administration; Resources; Supervision; Validation; Writing - review & editing. - Petra Susan Hüppi: Conceptualization; Funding acquisition; Methodology; Project administration; Resources; Supervision; Validation; Writing - review & editing. -Russia Hà-Vinh Leuchter: Conceptualization; Funding acquisition; Investigation; Methodology; Project administration; Resources; Supervision; Validation; Writing - review & editing.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.Clinical TrialRetrospectively registered 20 November 2020, _URL_ StatementThis work was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation, No. 324730_163084 [PI: P.S.

text: © EURE. One of the most controversial aspects of the debate on urban sustainability is to what extent the overall environmental impact of cities is determined by its shape and spatial structure. Compact City Approach defenders argue that people living in the densest and central areas of large cities have a low environmental impact. Residential density and distance to the Central Business District (cbd) are the most common indicators proposed to capture urban spatial structure of cities. In this paper we estimate the ecological footprint of residential energy consumption, commuting and leisure purposes mobility from 475 surveys conducted in Concepción Metropolitan Area (Chile). After controlling for potential endogeneity problems and taken into account the socioeconomic aspects that may affect the value of the Ecological Footprint, residential density does not exercise significant influence, so compactness policies could prove ineffective. The results rule out that this result is due to the existence of compensatory behaviors that result in abnormally high mobility for leisure purposes in denser areas. Income is the main element explaining the observed variability in footprint values.

Events
You can also set up navigation that is caused by a particular event. The <onevent> element provides several possible actions triggered by one or more intrinsic events.
The <onevent> tag has the following format:
<onevent type="type"> task</onevent>
The "type" can be one of the following:
Type Event
onpick User selects or deselects an <option> item.
onenterforward User navigates to a card in a forward manner (e.g., from a <go> or other link)
onenterbackward User navigates to a card in a backward manner (e.g., from a <prev> element or Back command)
ontimer A specified <timer> element expires
The "onenter" types can be used to display or omit particular information depending on how the user navigated to the card, or to force a refresh of dynamic information if the user reached the card by going backward (thereby getting the card from the cache and not a fresh copy from the server).
The "onpick" type is used when the <onevent> is nested within an <option> element to provide an action when the option is selected.
The "ontimer" type is used to provide a task at a particular time, independent of user actions (refreshing a page, moving to another page, etc).
The various tasks that can be used with the <onevent> element are described in the following table.
Task Use
<go> Navigates to a new card.
<prev> Navigates to the previous card.
<noop> Performs no task (no operation).
<refresh> Refreshes the current card's content.
<exit> Exits the current context. *
<spawn> Spawns a child task. *
<throw> "Throws" an exception that can be caught by an
optional <catch> element. *
* These tasks are specific to the Openwave browser. See the developer documentation at _URL_ for more information.
The "ontimer" event can be used to display a splash screen (containing welcoming or copyright information), or to automatically return to a card after displaying an error. Its also very useful for refreshing a card to display up-to-date dynamic data.
In the following example, the deck displays a splash screen before the main menu:
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "_URL_ <wml><card id="splash" title="Welcome!"><onevent type="ontimer"> <go href="#main" /></onevent><timer name="delay" value="50"/>
Welcome to ACME Incorporated.
</card><card id="main" title="Main Menu">
Main menu here...
</card></wml>
Note: The <timer> element's value parameter is measured in tenths of a second, so our splash screen stays active for 5 seconds (50 tenths).
Tip: The <card> element includes an optional "ontimer" parameter, which alleviates the need for a separate <onevent> element. Using this parameter, the above example could be shortened as follows:
 . . . <card id="splash" title="Welcome!" ontimer="#main"> <timer name="delay" value="50"/> . . .

MembershipProvider.PasswordAttemptWindow Property
Gets the number of minutes in which a maximum number of invalid password or password-answer attempts are allowed before the membership user is locked out.
Namespace: System.Web.Security
Assembly: System.Web.ApplicationServices (in System.Web.ApplicationServices.dll)
'Declaration
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property PasswordAttemptWindow As Integer
Property Value
Type: System.Int32
The number of minutes in which a maximum number of invalid password or password-answer attempts are allowed before the membership user is locked out.
The PasswordAttemptWindow property works in conjunction with the MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts property to guard against an unwanted source guessing the password or password answer of a membership user through repeated attempts. If the number of invalid passwords or password questions supplied for a membership user exceeds the MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts within the number of minutes identified by the PasswordAttemptWindow, then the membership user is locked out by setting the IsLockedOut property to true until the user is unlocked by a call to the UnlockUser method. If a valid password or password answer is supplied before the MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts is reached, the counter that tracks the number of invalid attempts is reset to zero.
Invalid password and password-answer attempts accumulate independently of one another. For example, if the MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts property is set to 5, and three invalid password attempts are made followed by two invalid password-answer attempts, two more invalid password attempts (or three more invalid password-answer attempts) must be made within the PasswordAttemptWindow value for the membership user to be locked out.
If the RequiresQuestionAndAnswer property is set to false, invalid password-answer attempts are not tracked.
Invalid password and password-answer attempts are tracked in the ValidateUser, ChangePassword, ChangePasswordQuestionAndAnswer, GetPassword, and ResetPassword methods.

Make Heron's Fountain
Science Fair Project
Heron's fountain is a great project for a science fair, as it is simple to make and displays many of the basic principles of physics. This project shows how potential energy can provide power, using water and gravity, and air and compression. These are fundamental aspects of pneumatics and hydraulics and Heron's fountain also lets you have a bit of fun during the process.
The History of Heron's Fountain
Heron's Fountain 1
Heron's Fountain (Creative Commons)
The great Greek inventor, Heron of Alexandria (sometimes called Hero) created this device as one of his wonderful ways of showing students how the underlying physical and mathematical principles worked. Historians are almost certain that Heron (c. 10 CE - c. 70 CE) taught at the great university of Alexandria, Egypt, and used many of his inventions as teaching aids.
You now have the chance to follow his example, by using this apparatus to show your classmates physics in action.
Building Heron's Fountain
Heron's fountain was probably cast from bronze, at great expense, but we are going to make one from much simpler materials, easily found around the home or in a local hardware store.
What You Need:
 - A plastic basin
 - Two plastic soda bottles
 - Flexible plastic tubing, often used for aquariums
 - Two plastic jars with plastic lids
 - A stand for the basin
 - Silicone or some other waterproof sealant
How to Make Heron's Fountain
A good explanation of how the Heron's Fountain works. If you feel adventurous, you could try something like this for your science fair project!
The Pakistan Science Club shows how to make a Heron fountain. You can do this, too!
If you can get hold of glass flasks and rubber tubing, this is a great version of Heron's fountain.
Procedure
The water in the basin contains gravitational potential energy and, as it falls downwards, it uses the pneumatic pressure of the air in the air supply container to push the water in the upper, fountain supply container. Once the water drops below the level of the outlet tube in the fountain supply, the Heron fountain will stop.
This experiment has lots of variations and many different ways of building depending upon time and resources. If you make one, why not film it and upload it to YouTube - you never know; we might just decide to feature it here!
 1. Your basin will need to be raised, as it must be higher than the two bottles. You may have something that you can modify, or you can make one from Meccano as shown in the video.
 2. Make a hole in the bottom of the basin, just big enough for the tubing to fit through.
 3. Push a 24" - 36" length of tubing through and seal with the silicone.
 4. Make two holes in the lid of one of the plastic containers. This will become the air supply container and must be the lowest part of the apparatus.
 Heron's Fountain 2

 5. Push the tubing through one of these - it must reach almost to the bottom.
 6. Insert another piece of tubing through the other hole - you only need to push about an inch of tubing through the hole.
 7. Make sure that the seal around the tube is airtight, using the silicone sealant.
 8. Take your second container and make two holes through the lid of this one. This will become the fountain supply container and must be filled with water
 9. Take the plastic tubing coming from the first container and push it through one of the holes. This only needs to be pushed in about an inch.
 10. Cut a final length of tubing and insert this into the second hole, pushing it in almost to the bottom of the container
 11. Use the silicone to fill the gaps around the tubing.
 12. The fountain supply container must be higher than the air supply container
 13. This third length of tubing needs to run back to the fountain, as in the video - you can try to build a waterwheel, if you want!
 14. Slowly fill the basin with water and watch as water flows from the basin into the air supply container, through gravity. This will displace the water in the second container and cause it to shoot out of the tubing back into the fountain, higher than the original basin.
 15. If you want, you can insert the tubing running from the fountain supply container back into the basin through a second hole, making sure that it protrudes above the water level, to create a proper fountain.
How does it Work
At first glance, this appears to be a perpetual motion device; a machine that can keep running forever. However, this is not the case and, as the air supply flask fills with water, the jet of water from the nozzle will decrease in power and stop altogether. To restart the machine, you will need to empty this container and refill the fountain supply container with water.
The water in the basin contains gravitational potential energy and, as it falls downwards, it uses the pneumatic pressure of the air in the air supply container to push the water in the upper, fountain supply container. Once the water drops below the level of the outlet tube in the fountain supply, the Heron fountain will stop.
This experiment has lots of variations and many different ways of building depending upon time and resources. If you make one, why not film it and upload it to YouTube - you never know; we might just decide to feature it here!

Higher reliability. Improved mixing efficiency. Increased duration.
Pressure leaching 'severe service' challenges:
- scale formation
- corrosion (acidic environment)
- wear and erosion
- high velocity and 3-phase flow
- high oxygen concentration
- thermal shock
Specific to the autoclave industry, MOGAS has directly employed and strategically partnered with the best technical specialists, who support the start-up and ramp up to full production of high-pressure acid leach (HPAL) and pressure oxidation (POx) production plants globally.
These experienced operational and maintenance personnel have solid process understanding—a critical factor in the successful start-up of a high-pressure metallurgy process in an autoclave-based circuit, compared to a conventional atmospheric leach or concentrator plant.
This experience base provides input and a better understanding of the overall process circuit beyond autoclaves that advance valve and system designs specific to customer requirements. MOGAS can assess specific design aspects of the circuit to not only assimilate the current operational procedures, but to the underlying reasons for the way the procedures were developed—the 'why's' to procedural steps, operational sequences or specific design features.
The majority of all autoclaves worldwide use MOGAS severe service technology.

Alix Gerber is the Louis D. Beaumont Visiting Assistant Professor in the Sam Fox School. After working as a user-centered researcher and studying transdisciplinary design at Parsons in New York City, Gerber has been experimenting with a practice of Participatory Speculation through the development of a course called Radical Design, as well as the Futures of Public Safety project. Participatory Speculation is a critical and collaborative design practice based in a strong belief in the value of every person's experiences and perspectives. Rather than solving problems—as we often expect from design strategy—it strives to question the systems and ideologies around us by imagining many different futures, each based in a different world view. Projects involve creating artifacts from these potential futures that provoke in-depth dialogue about what we want here and now.
Work by students in Gerber's Radical Design course, as well as the exhibit Futures of Public Safety, featuring work inspired by the future visions of St. Louis residents, will be on view November 13-15 in Steinberg Hall Gallery.

_init () function.
 - Specified: String
 - Default: Empty string
 - Example:
 corba.args: -ORBInitialHost myhost -ORBInitialPort 8888
Designation example 1
Be careful when sending image data etc. over the data port when the data size to be sent at once exceeds about 2 MB. In omniORB, the size handled by giop (General Inter-ORB Protocol) is "_PHONE_ B (2 MB)" by default, and if you try to send data exceeding this size, it is impossible to send correct data due to giop limitation. It is possible to change the maximum size using the corba.args option. This specification must be specified in both OutPort and InPort.
 corba.args: -ORBgiopMaxMsgSize _PHONE_ # Add this line
 # Max size to 3M
In addition to specifying it in corba.args, this restriction can be relaxed by specifying environment variables as follows.
 export ORBgiopMaxMsgSize=_PHONE_
corba.endpoint:
In CORBA, access is made by referring to the remote object called IOR, but in the IOR, usually only one set of the address and port number of the node where the object operates is described. When there are two or more network interfaces in the node on which OpenRTM is running, unintended addresses may be allocated as addresses of nodes included in the IOR.
In order to solve this, you can specify the address of the network used by CORBA with this option. Host address: port number , but you can omit port number. However, : (colon) can not be omitted.
 - Specification: <host_addr>: <port>
 - Default: Empty string
 - Example:
 corba.endpoint: 192.168.0.45:
 corba.endpoint: 192.168.0.45:8776
 corba.endpoints: myhost: (use myhost and default port)
 corba.endpoints: :9876 (use default addr and port 9876)
 corba.endpoints: myhost:9876 (use myhost and port 9876)
corba.endpoints
An option that allows you to specify multiple endpoints of corba.endpoint. Depending on the implementation of the ORB, the IOR can contain multiple addresses. However, in JavaIDL which is the Java standard CORBA, when accessing the object via IOR specifying multiple addresses, problems such as slow operation are reported, so care is required.
You can specify multiple address: port pairs separated by , (comma) . By specifying all as a special string, all addresses of the node can be included in the IOR.
 - Specification: <host_addr>: <port>, <host_addr>: <port>, ... or all
 - Default: Empty string
 - Example:
 corba.endpoints: 192.168.1.10:1111, 192.168.10.11:2222
 corba.endpoints: 192.168.1.10, 192.168.10.11
 corba.endpoints: all
corba.endpoints:
corba.nameservers
Option to specify a name server to register RTC etc. Multiple name servers can be specified with comma separated values. Especially when there is no name server at the specified address and port number, it does not cause an error in particular, and it registers the name of RTC only to existing name servers.
 - Specification: <host_addr>: <port>, <host_addr>: <port>, ...
 - Default: localhost
 - Example:
 corba.nameservers: openrtm.aist.go.jp:9876
 corba.nameservers: rtm0.aist.go.jp, rtm1.aist.go.jp, rtm2.aist.go.jp
 corba.nameservers: localhost
corba.nameservice.replace_endpoint
When there are multiple NICs in a node, there are cases where the address included in the IOR of the RTC registered on the name server is not appropriate. For example, if a node has two addresses of 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.1.10 and is registered on two name servers existing in 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1, if 192.168.0.10 is the default on this node If it is a network interface to be used, the IOR registered in the above two name server name servers includes only 192.168.0.10. At this time, in the 192.168.1.0 network, the IOR on the name server is meaningless in which an unreachable address is described.
If this option is specified, replace the address of the IOR registered in the 192.168.1.1 name server with 192.168.1.10 in the case like the above case.
However, by designating this option, although it is possible to use the profile etc. of the RTC from other nodes on the 192.168.1.0 network, it is impossible to connect the port etc.
 - Designation: YES or NO
 - Default: NO
 - Example:
 corba.nameservice.replace_endpoint: NO
corba.alternate_iiop_addresses
This option adds an alternate IIOP address to the IOR profile. The IOR can contain additional endpoints of servants (servers of CORBA objects). This is almost equivalent to the "corba.endpoints" option, except that it does not actually create endpoints. (The "corba.endpoints" option tries to create the actual endpoint, otherwise an error will be returned.) This option simply adds the alternate IIOP endpoint address information to the IOR.
This option is used when RTC is placed inside NAT or router. In general, the RTC in the private network can not connect the RTC on the global network. However, if NAT and router port forwarding are properly configured, RTC on the global side can connect to RTC of private network.
The setting is done as follows.
 1. Configure NAT and router port forwarding appropriately.
 2. Here, port 2810 on the global side is referred to as an address on the private side It is set to transfer to 2810 of the system.
 3. Set rtc.conf on private side RTC as follows. corba.nameservers: my.global.nameserver.com <- Set up global name server corba.endpoints:: 2810 <- Port number of the component corba.alternate_iiop_addresses: w.x.y.z: 2810 <- IP address and port number on the global side of the router
 4. Start global side RTC and private side RTC
In RTSystemEditor, access to private side RTC may become extremely slow. This is probably because it takes time to reach the private side because implementation of Java's IOR add profile function is not enough. By using rtshell etc., you can reduce the time it takes to connect. Also, even when it takes time to connect with RTSystemEditor or rtshell, the communication speed between the ports once connected is almost the same as normal.
 - Specified: address: port
 - Default: Unspecified
 - Example:
 corba.alternate_iiop_addresses: addr:port
Settings related to name service
naming.enable
This option enables / disables the function related to the naming service. If YES is specified, RTC reference is registered in the name service. If NO, registration of RTC's reference to the name service is not done.
 - Designation: 'YES or NO''
 - Default value: YES
 - Example:
 manager.is_master: NO
naming.type
This option specifies the type of name service. Currently it only supports corba.
 - Specified: Name service type
 - Default value: corba
 - Example:
 naming.type: corba
naming.formats
Specify the format for registering RTC on the name server. You can use specifiers that begin with % below. The delimiter of the name hierarchy is /, and the delimiter of name and kind (kind) is ..
%n RTC instance name
%t RTC type name
%m RTC module name
%v RTC version
%V RTC vendor name
%c RTC category name
%h Host name
%M Manager name
%p process ID
// %p プロセスID
 - Specification:/<name>.<Kind>/<name>.<Kind>/...
 - Default value:% h.host_cxt /% n.mgr
 - Example:
 naming.formats: %_URL_.rtc
naming.update.enable
Registration of the RTC to the name server is usually done at instance creation time. Therefore, the name and reference of the RTC are not registered in the name server started after RTC generation. Specifying this option periodically checks the name server, and if the name server is confirmed to start up, register the name and reference again.
 - Designation: YES or NO
 - Default value: YES
 - Example:
 naming.update.enable: YES
naming.update.interval
If naming.update.enable is YES, specify the period

Premature Ejaculation Care, Herbal Remedies, Natural Treatment
After a lot of research on various Ayurvedic herbs and cures for premature ejaculation, our research team formulated a formula which proved excellent herbal remedy for premature ejaculation. The product was named on ancient Ayurvedic herb for premature ejaculation called Atirasa. and the adi means etc. etc.. The various herbs for premature ejaculation were utilized to make this unique herbal formulation called Ati -RasAdi Churna ( Churna means herbs powder)
Premature Ejaculation Cure
The Atirasadi Churna is a combination of rare herbal remedies for erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low energy levels. Some of the herbs are effective herbal remedies which are described in ancient indian literature like "kamasutra" as well as other classical texts.

The involuntary loss of the seminal fluid is extremely debilitating in some cases; in others they may be more alarming than injurious, and detrimental chiefly through their mental effect upon the victim. Loss of seminal fluid is so common among young men. The primary cause of too many seminal loss is mainly the stimulating influence of our artificial civilized life and excessive access to porn material. The mind is indulged in such acts and the most common cause in nine cases out of ten is undoubtedly masturbation.
According to AyurvedaMasturbation is an unnatural act and should not be done. 'Shukrathe semen must be kept preserved at any cost. As this is the elixir male strength. Ayurveda explains that male looses it's strength, if he looses his semen.Through this habit of masturbation the secretions become a continuous process, thus affecting the overall health of a person. The habit of self abuse (Masturbation) causes the weakness of male organs involved in sexual activity. Excessive masturbation forces the body to make the semen immediately as the accumulated semen is being wasted through masturbation. The body utilizes its whole energy again to make precious semen and this rapidly accumulating secretion naturally finds and outlet through these emissions, at various intervals due to weakness of genital organs.

dc.description.abstractA particular strength of agile approaches is that they move away from 'introverted' development and intimately involve the customer in all areas of development, supposedly leading to the development of a more innovative and hence more valuable information system. However, we argue that a single customer representative is too narrow a focus to adopt and that involvement of stakeholders beyond the software development itself is still often quite weak and in some cases non-existent. In response, we argue that current thinking regarding innovation in agile development needs to be extended to include multiple stakeholders outside the business unit. This paper explores the intra-organisational applicability and implications of open innovation in agile systems development. Additionally, it argues for a different perspective of project management that includes collaboration and knowledge-sharing with other business units, customers, partners, and other relevant stakeholders pertinent to the business success of an organisation, thus embracing open innovation principles.en

be persistent in their job search and be willing to apply for multiple jobs before finding the right one.
The job market is constantly changing, and the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the job market and the way of working, young people should be adaptable and try to find opportunities in new and emerging fields.
Develop soft skills:
Young people should focus on developing soft skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and time management which employers highly value.
Young people should seek guidance from career counselors, mentors, or other professionals who can help them navigate the job market and find appropriate employment opportunities.
It's important to remember that these strategies may not guarantee employment, but they can certainly increase the chances of finding a suitable job.
What Jobs Are More Likely To Hire Young Adults?
There are several types of jobs that may be more likely to hire young adults, some examples include:
Many companies have entry-level positions that are specifically designed for individuals with little or no work experience. These jobs may include roles such as administrative assistants, customer service representatives, and data entry clerks.
Internships or apprenticeships:
Many companies offer internships or apprenticeships to young adults. These programs allow young adults to gain relevant job experience and skills and may lead to full-time employment after the program is completed.
Part-time or seasonal jobs:
Many companies hire young adults for part-time or seasonal jobs, such as retail sales associates, cashiers, and customer service representatives.
With the rise of technology and the shift towards remote working, many companies hire young adults for online jobs such as virtual customer service representatives, social media managers, and digital marketing.
Small businesses and start-ups are more likely to hire young adults since they may be more flexible and less bureaucratic in their hiring processes.
Non-profit organizations often have more limited budgets than for-profit companies and may be more likely to hire young adults for entry-level positions.
Freelancing or self-employment:
Young adults may also consider freelancing or self-employment as an option. Freelancers or self-employed individuals can take on various projects and clients and may have more control over their work schedule and job duties.
It's important to note that these are just a few examples, and job opportunities may vary depending on the region and the state of the economy. Additionally, the job market is constantly changing, so young adults should be adaptable and open to new

Examples of Cognitive Skills in the Workplace Workplace Cognitive Skills: A – Z List How to Highlight Your Skills By Alison Doyle Alison Doyle Alison Doyle is a job search expert and one of the industry's most highly-regarded job search and career experts. Alison brings extensive experience in corporate human resources, management, and career development, which she has adapted for her freelance work. She is also the founder of CareerToolBelt.com, which provides simple and straightforward advice for every step of your career. Learn about our Editorial Process Updated on 11/30/21 Virtually all jobs—even those that primarily involve manual labor—require workers to exercise their cognitive skills—their "thinking skills," in other words. While not all employers use the phrase "cognitive skills" in job descriptions, it is important for job seekers to be able to demonstrate that they have the types of cognitive skills the employers want. Here's an overview of cognitive skills, examples, and tips for showing employers you have the skills that they need. What Are Cognitive Skills? Cognitive skills include the ability to learn, process, and apply knowledge, analyze and reason, and evaluate and decide. Cognitive skills also include the skills associated with perception, memory, judgment, and language. They are generally based on abilities that seem to be inborn, in that some people can develop abilities that others cannot. At least, not without considerably greater effort. And yet cognitive skills must be developed and practiced to reach their full potential. In other words, it is possible to become more skilled, with a little work. Examples of Cognitive Skills in the Workplace Employers are likely to look for cognitive skills in an applied form. That is, no one will ask in an interview, "can you think?" but the interviewer may ask how well the candidate can do specific tasks that require thinking. When preparing for an interview, for each task you wish to highlight, be sure to prepare specific examples of occasions when you did that task in a professional context. Do not expect the interviewer to take your word for it that you have certain skills. The following are examples of applied cognitive skills as they might appear in a job description. Digest Reading Material It means reading and understanding a text, thinking about it, or analyzing it. Exploring literature in a scholarly sense is one example. Reading a manual and then adapting the processes described in a new situation is another. Draw Inferences from Patterns of Events If the copier breaks every Friday, what is causing the problem? Something is because such a pattern is unlikely to occur by chance. If you can notice the pattern and identify and resolve the issue, you can save your company time, money, and frustration. This sort of reasoning can be very valuable to an employer. Analyze Problems and Evaluate Options Anyone can apply a standard solution to a standard problem. But, deciding which of several possible solutions is appropriate takes some real thinking. As does the act of deciding which of several problems to attempt to solve first. Brainstorm Solutions Brainstorming means coming up with a long list of possible solutions without stopping to analyze which ones might be correct. Although analysis itself is a good and necessary skill, being able to suspend it temporarily is also important. Brainstorming leads to solutions and usually accompanies ideas like creativity and team building. Focus Attention on a Task Staying focused is an undervalued skill that not everyone has. For some people, staying focused means attending to only one task at a time. Others get better results by juggling a group of tasks, either because all are related and require each other in some way, or because rapid cycling among different tasks relieves boredom. In either case, the important thing is to be able to work efficiently until the task is done. Observe Phenomena Observation is another undervalued skill. Some specialized forms of observation can be learned, such as following a scientific protocol or using a pair of binoculars. However, the cognitive skill of observation means being able to notice something and then pay attention to it. Frequently, observation is easier if you are familiar with the phenomena in question. For example, a trained birder can often count the number of bird species singing in a chorus, even if the species are unfamiliar, where an untrained person hears only undifferentiated noise.

Active Listening Adaptability Analytical Behavioral Business Business Storytelling Communication Conflict Resolution Creative Thinking Decision Making Deductive Reasoning Inductive Reasoning Listening Logical Thinking Nonverbal Communication Presentation Problem Solving Public Speaking Social Skills Soft Skills Strategic Planning Verbal Communication Writing How to Highlight Your Skills When you're job searching, take the time to discover what cognitive skills the employer is seeking. In many cases, you'll find them as "keyword phrases" under the "Preferred Qualifications" section in the job posting. Reference the skills you have that are a close match to the employer's requirements in your resume and cover letters, and during job interviews. Here's how to match your qualifications to a job. Scan the lists above to help you identify the skills that most closely approximate the qualifications for a prospective job. Because many employers use automated applicant tracking systems to rate the resumes they receive, try to mention as many of these "keyword" cognitive skills in your resume as you can.

Wellington initiates exploration drilling for contingency water supply
Wellington Water has begun drilling exploration wells in the hope of tapping into the Waiwhetu aquifer to gain a back-up supply of fresh water in the event of a major earthquake, according to a report by RNZ.
The drilling will inform planners about the geological and soil profile, and quality of water produced from the harbour bore. Estimates place well bore production at 30 million litres a day, servicing 20 percent of Wellington's water demand.
The city's existing major feed pipes are predicted to fail in 30 places in a 7.6 magnitude quake. Last year's quake resulted in failure of the central city's only feeder.
Wellington Water, the city's main water utility, estimates that in the event of a major earthquake the city could be without water for up to 100 days. The utility hopes that by tapping into the aquifer this estimate could be reduced to less than 30 days.
The utility plans to also begin drilling 6 explorations wells in and around the city, starting in Newtown next week.

Both「目的」and「目標」have a common meaning which is "goal", but what is the difference?
When can we use one but not the other?
I would think of a basic example.
I want to become better at shooting the basketball. => 目的
I think 目的 is a high level image, global image of a goal. 目標 is more achievement like low level goal, usual can be quantified and explicit that will define the concrete steps to the 目的.
I think it boils down to the difference in English between "purpose" and "goal". A goal is something finite you hope to achieve. A purpose is like a motivation for why you do something. Often they will overlap, but not always. Having a finite goal kind of implies that you have a motivation. However, the converse -- having a motivation implies you have a finite goal -- is not necessarily true.
So the same with the Japanese words. If you have a
That's how I see them anyway.

Logistic Regression for Scenario Discovery
As most of you probably know, scenario discovery is an exploratory modeling approach [Bankes, 1993] that involves stress-testing proposed policies over plausible future "states of the world" (SOWs) to discover conditions under which those policies would fail to meet performance goals [Bryant and Lempert, 2010]. The scenario discovery process is therefore an exercise in statistical classification. Two commonly used methods used for the scenario discovery process are the Patient Rule Induction Method (PRIM; Friedman and Fisher [1999]) and Classification and Regression Trees (CART; Breiman et al. [1984]), both of which are included in the OpenMORDM R package and Rhodium Python package.
Another commonly used method in classification that hasn't been given much attention in the scenario discovery literature is logistic regression. Logistic regression models estimate the probability that an event is classified as a success (1) as opposed to a failure (0) as a function of different covariates. This allows for the definition of "safe operating spaces," or factor combinations leading to success, based on the probability with which one would like to be able to achieve the specified performance goal(s). We may not know the probability that a particular SOW will occur, but through the logistic regression we can estimate the probability of success in that SOW should it occur. The logistic regression can also identify which factors most influence a policy's ability to meet those performance goals.
This blog post will illustrate how to build logistic regression models in Python for scenario discovery using the Red River basin as an example. Here we are interested in determining under what streamflow and demand characteristics reservoir operating policies are unable to protect Hanoi from the 100-yr flood. We assume operators want to ensure protection to this event with at least 95% reliability and use logistic regression to estimate under what combination of streamflow and demand characteristics they will be able to do so.
The form of the logistic regression model is given by Equation 1, where pi represents the probability that performance in the ith SOW is classified as a success and Xi represents a vector of covariates (in this case, streamflow and demand characteristics) describing the ith SOW:
1) \ln\Bigg(\frac{p_i}{1-p_i}\Bigg) = \mathbf{X_i^\intercal}\mathbf{\beta}.
The coefficients, \mathbf{\beta}, on the covariates are estimated using Maximum Likelihood Estimation.
To determine which streamflow and demand characteristics are most important in explaining successes and failures, we can compare the McFadden's pseudo-R2 values associated with different models that include different covariates. McFadden's pseudo-R2, R_{McFadden}^2, is given by Equation 2:
2) R_{McFadden}^2 = 1 - \frac{\ln \hat{L}(M_{Full})}{\ln \hat{L}(M_{Intercept})}
where \ln \hat{L}(M_{Full}) is the log-likelihood of the full model and \ln \hat{L}(M_{Intercept}) is the log-likelihood of the intercept model, i.e. a model with no covariates beyond the intercept. The intercept model therefore predicts the mean probability of success across all SOWs. R_{McFadden}^2 is a measure of improvement of the full model over the intercept model.
A common approach to fitting regression models is to add covariates one-by-one based on which most increase R2 (or in this case, R_{McFadden}^2), stopping once the increase of an additional covariate is marginal. The covariate that by itself most increases R_{McFadden}^2 is therefore the most important in predicting a policy's success. To do this in Python, we will use the library statsmodels.
Imagine we have a pandas dataframe, dta that includes n columns of streamflow and demand characteristics describing different SOWs (rows) and a final column of 0s and 1s representing whether or not the policy being evaluated can provide protection to the 100-yr flood in that SOW (0 for no and 1 for yes). Assume the column of 0s and 1s is the last column and it is labeled Success. We can find the value of R_{McFadden}^2 for each covariate individually by running the following code:
import pandas as pd
import statsmodels.api as sm
from scipy import stats
# deal with fact that calling result.summary() in statsmodels.api
# calls scipy.stats.chisqprob, which no longer exists
stats.chisqprob = lambda chisq, df: stats.chi2.sf(chisq, df)
def fitLogit(dta, predictors):
 # concatenate intercept column of 1s
 dta['Intercept'] = np.ones(np.shape(dta)[0])
 # get columns of predictors
 cols = dta.columns.tolist()[-1:] + predictors
 #fit logistic regression
 logit = sm.Logit(dta['Success'], dta[cols])
 result = logit.fit()
 return result
dta = pd.read_csv('SampleData.txt')
n = len(dta.columns) - 1
for i in range(n):
 predictors = dta.columns.tolist()[i:(i+1)]
 result = fitLogit(dta, predictors)
 print(result.summary())
A sample output for one predictor, Col1 is shown below. This predictor has a pseudo-R2 of 0.1138.
Once the most informative predictor has been determined, additional models can be tested by adding more predictors one-by-one as described above. Suppose that through this process, one finds that the first 3 columns of dta (Col1,Col2 and Col3) are the most informative for predicting success on providing protection to the 100-yr flood, while the subsequent columns provide little additional predictive power. We can use this model to visualize the probability of success as a function of these 3 factors using a contour map. If we want to show this as a 2D projection, the probability of success can only be shown for combinations of 2 of these factors. In this case, we can hold the third factor constant at some value, say its base value. This is illustrated in the code below, which also shows a scatter plot of the SOWs. The dots are shaded light blue if the policy succeeds in providing protection to the 100-yr flood in that world, and dark red if it does not.

Photovoltaic solar power generation is proven to be effective and sustainable but is currently hampered by relatively high costs and low conversion efficiency. This paper addresses both issues by presenting a low-cost and efficient temperature distribution analysis for identifying PV module mismatch faults by thermography. Mismatch faults reduce the power output and cause potential damage to PV cells. This paper firstly defines three fault categories in terms of fault levels, which lead to different terminal characteristics of the PV modules. The investigation of three faults is also conducted analytically and experimentally and maintenance suggestions are also provided for different fault types. The proposed methodology is developed to combine the electrical and thermal characteristics of PV cells subjected to different fault mechanisms through simulation and experimental tests. Furthermore, the fault diagnosis method can be incorporated into the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) schemes to shift the operating point of the PV string. The developed technology has improved over the existing ones in locating the faulty cell by a thermal camera, providing a remedial measure and maximizing the power output under faulty conditions.

How to fix formatting issue
While paste data i am getting wrong value format in column 1 & 7.
original value is 20190517046351641004
Value pasted as 20190517046351600000
(edit: activated screenshot)
Numbers in Calc are internally represented in IEEE-754 floating point format. This format offers 52 explicit bits + 1 implicit bit for the "mantissa", i.e. the "significant" digits. 53 bits allow for ~17-18 decimal digits and you entered a 20-digit integer. Consequently, the 17-18 most significant digits are used to compute the closest possible mantissa and a scale factor (the "exponent") is then associated to "shift" this integer to correct order of magnitude.
If you really need this degree of precision with your number, consider using multi-precision applications or mathematical symbolic manipulation programs.
To show the community your question has been answered, click the ✓ next to the correct answer, and "upvote" by clicking on the ^ arrow of any helpful answers. These are the mechanisms for communicating the quality of the Q&A on this site. Thanks!
… and if you need the digit sequence as a kind of identificator (i.e., it's not a number taking part in calculations, but just a sequence of symbols to uniquely designate something), then just format the column as text prior to entering the digits.
Looking at your example data as your question is refreshed by @AlexKemp's editing, I seem to read there something like a date-time stamp. Date-time stamps are internally represented as a number of time units (I don't remember which) from an epoch (time origin). The integer part is the number of days elapsed since the epoch and the fractional part is the fraction of the day.
Formatting routines take this number to convert it to human-readable meaningful printed sequence. This sequence may contain more than 17-18 decimal digits but the quantity of information is not bigger, e.g. for a human 2019 and 19 have the same significance). Also human "fragments" such as day, month and year are extracted from the number artificially expanding the number of character needed to "print" the data. Typing back this string will not fit in an IEEE-754 number.
If you have a date, type it as a date and Calc will do the necessary conversion without error.

Many animals perceive object motion rather than specific objects. For the humans, too, the ability to react effectively to motion is often a matter of survival. It is not surprising then that the human visual mechanism is sometimes deluded into seeing motion where there is none.
One particular instance is presented by the applet. Focus at the center of the design and make it rotate fast clockwise. You are likely to see two spirals: the dark one winding inward towards the center and a light one winding out away from the center. The white divergent spiral is a dominant feature of the experiment that is hard to miss. The variety is introduced by a number of setup parameters. When the design rotates counterclockwise, both spirals seem to converge to the center.

State Regulations for the Watering of Decorative (Nonfunctional) Turf
To ensure all Californians take sufficient steps to save water and preserve the State's water supply, the State Water Board adopted the emergency regulation to ban decorative grass watering in June 2022. In June 2023, the State Water Board readopted the emergency regulation to ban decorative grass watering. It will remain in effect for one year from the effective date, unless the State Water Board modifies it, readopts it, or ends it before then.
Emergency Regulation Requirements
Commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) decorative grass should not be watered (with limited exceptions)
Give all trees just what they need: avoid overwatering
Regulation does not apply to Residential customers
Defining Functional and Nonfunctional Turf
Functional Turf, Community Space, Recreational Use Area
Ground cover turf located in a recreational use area or community space not enclosed by fencing to prevent human access
Areas for civic, ceremonial, or other community events and social gatherings
Areas for recreation, sports fields, golf courses, playgrounds, and pet exercise
Any turf that is not functional turf
Specifically includes turf in street rights-of-way, center medians, and parking lots
Assembly Bill 1572
What is it? Who does it affect? When will it be in effect?
This bill prohibits the use of drinking water for the irrigation of nonfunctional turf for CII customers (including HOA management). However, it specifies that potable water may be used to irrigate nonfunctional turf where necessary to maintain the health of trees.
This bill does not affect residential customers (even those who live within an HOA). It does affect commercial, industrial, and institutional customers (CII).
Compliance must be in effect on the following dates:

HyperCube™ (Hyperspectral CubeSat Mission - 3D Wind Measurement)
Accurate wind measurement information has been identified as a top priority to improving weather forecasting models. Harris provides HyperCube, a cost-effective solution. HyperCube is a spaceborne three-dimensional sounding instrument designed to measure the speed, direction, and elevation of wind in Earth's atmosphere. A Fourier Transform Spectrometer, the HyperCube 6U CubeSat is much smaller and less expensive than conventional systems, and offers a more expedient implementation alternative to complex LiDAR wind measurement programs. 1)
Enabled by the sounding technology of Harris, HyperCube provides hundreds of hyperspectral bands for the best instrument resolution in the small satellite market. It delivers more vertical layers of wind vector data at fine spatial resolution, resulting in more accurate data than other available solutions.
Data accuracy is maintained using an onboard calibration target capable of precise, absolute calibration. HyperCube™ also offers collection time flexibility, allowing for more mission coverage than alternative technologies.
The design of HyperCube improves upon the highly successful CrIS (Cross-track Infrared Sounder) aboard the Suomi NPP satellite. The CrIS, also a Fourier transform spectrometer, has been providing more accurate atmospheric temperature, pressure, and moisture observations since 2011. Harris packages this proven technology in a smaller, lower mass solution, called the HyperCube CubeSat.
The smallsats are developed in connection with the SDL/USU (Space Dynamics Lab of Utah State University), who provides the spacecraft for the HyperCube mission.
The HyperCube mission and operational concept: 2)
HyperCube is a constellation of 6U CubeSats equipped with MWIR (Mid-Wave Infrared) hyperspectral instruments. The instruments measure three-dimensional (3D) distributions of atmospheric water vapor, and by measuring the same region of the atmosphere at different times, they are able to infer wind velocities at multiple vertical locations in the atmosphere (i.e., 3D wind measurements).
An operational CubeSat constellation would consist of 12 satellites, grouped into four "triplets" of satellites that have identical ground tracks but separated by about 15 minutes. The swath width allows for full global 3D wind measurements every 6 hours. This allows frequent wind data ingestion into numerical weather forecast models.
The HyperCube satellite consists of two major sections; the instrument section and the spacecraft section. The instrument contains an FTS (Fourier Transform Spectrometer)-based hyperspectral sounder, and its design utilizes heritage components from prior Harris hyperspectral instruments. The instrument includes an FTS interferometer, a cross-track step-stare scanner, a compact aft-optics telescope, a two-dimensional (2D) infrared FPA (Focal Plane Array), and an internal calibration target.
The step-stare scanner performs cross-track step-stares, each with a fixed stare time. Earth radiance passes through the scanner and feeds a corner-cube Michelson interferometer. The interferometer performs an OPD (Optical Path Difference) sweep and creates a double-sided interferogram in each sweep. Simple focusing optics behind the interferometer place the optical beam onto a 2D FPA. The FPA is cooled to cryogenic temperatures using a two-stage passive cooler, similar to the cooler used by the Harris HIRS (High-resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder) instrument, with some new, innovative advancements to fit in the compact CubeSat geometry.
The mass of the full satellite is 12.2 kg, while the overall volume is 11.6 x 24 x 36.6 cm (6U). The instrument section requires 11 W of the total 21 W power distribution.

HyperCube flight demonstration mission:
Harris is developing a flight demonstration version of a HyperCube satellite that could be flown as early as 2019. During the flight demonstration, HyperCube will collect different types of data to demonstrate different types of missions. MWIR spectra, with high spatial and spectral resolution, will be collected providing moisture profiles at various altitudes in the atmosphere. Retrievals will be compared with those of CrIS (Cross-track Infrared Sounder) on Suomi NPP, AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) on Aqua, and IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) flown on MetOp. On subsequent passes of the CubeSat over the polar regions, polar winds are extracted from two 3D moisture data cubes. Simultaneous nadir overpasses with CrIS and IASI are used to demonstrate calibration accuracy. An alternate collection method will allow trace atmospheric gases to be detected.

Flight demonstration instrument details: Photographs of the key HyperCube instrument components are shown in Figures 4 and 5. Figure 3 shows the main optomechanical portion of the instrument, which includes the cross-track step-stare scanner, internal calibration target, cornercube interferometer, and aft optics. Figure 5 shows the FPA used in the flight demonstration. It is a 6 x 6 MWIR FPA with a 9.5 µm cutoff.

Instrument environmental test program: Near-term goals of the flight demonstration program were to demonstrate the maturity of the HyperCube instrument technology and confirm that it is ready for launch. These have now been achieved.
The HyperCube instrument has undergone a complete space environmental test program. This included an initial TVAC (Thermal-Vacuum) test to establish baseline instrument performance and show vacuum operation, a vibration test to prove that the instrument was capable of surviving typical launch conditions, and a post-vibration TVAC to verify that the instrument was functional after vibration and that its performance had not been degraded by the vibration exposure. Figure 5 shows the instrument in TVAC. The instrument is shown attached to a fixture that serves both as the cooler for the detectors and as the vibration test fixture. No significant issues were observed during the vibration test. Figure 7 is a photograph of the instrument while in vibration test.
Figure 6: HyperCube instrument during TVAC testing (image credit: Harris)
Figure 7: HyperCube instrument during vibration testing (image credit: Harris)
The noise equivalent spectral radiance (NEdN) performance of the HyperCube instrument was recorded in TVAC before and after vibration testing. Data collected during TVAC were consistent with NEdN simulations, and no changes were noted due to environmental exposure.
Since the HyperCube instrument has now been successfully exposed to a relevant space environment, it is now considered to be at TRL6 (Technology Readiness Level 6). Harris is currently in the process of completing the build of the remainder of the HyperCube satellite, with the goal of having it ready for launch in 2019.

AMHERST – Red, white and blue with a bright yellow star will be donned today in honour of Acadian Day.
The Cumberland County Museum will be holding different exhibits in honour of Acadian history in Nova Scotia. One of the exhibits featured at the museum is about the dykes built by Acadians all around Cumberland County and Nova Scotia, some of the artifacts having been lent to the museum by Acadian history enthusiast Dana Rushton.
"There's a lot of French history here in Nova Scotia," said Rushton. "What the Acadians did in claiming the marsh land here was a new technology (here) that was used in Europe since the time of the Romans. How they applied it here, however, was unique with no government money to influence them. It was a community effort."
The dykes were built to keep the fields full of nutrients in order for them to farm. Rushton said taking the time to remember the role they played in building communities in the area is important.
"The face of the landscape today is, strictly in its essence, was originated from what the Acadians did when they dyked the land. Things have changed and the dykes today aren't the same dykes the Acadians made but the influence that they had. The system they created is still used today."
Diana Shaw said there will be other displays about Acadian history at the museum to coincide with the dyke exhibit.
"Because of the significance of Beaubassin in our area, that (dykes built by Acadians) should be something that we would recognize," she said. "We have this primary exhibit here for the dykes, but in our exhibit area we will have more information (about the Acadians) and we have pulled all of our early Acadian information to have it available for people who may want to come and do genealogy."
The Acadian exhibit will run for the rest of the month of August.
