Montane reed frog description
Like many frogs within its genus, Hyperolius castaneus displays remarkable variation in appearance (3) (4). The smooth skin of this species is consistently yellow to red underneath, but the colouration and patterning on the back varies considerably. Some have green backs with numerous diffuse dark spots, while others have brown backs, occasionally flecked with black spots. In addition, some forms have an irregular lateral line, running along the side of the body and varying from light to dark (2). Equipped with fairly long limbs and large toe pads, many Hyperolius species are adept climbers (4) (5).Top
Montane reed frog biology
Along with many other species in the genus, Hyperolius castaneus is yet to be the subject of a comprehensive study. However, this nocturnal species is particularly noted for its gliding ability (7). In the wet season the reed frogs tend to gather near water, preferably smaller temporary water bodies, where they breed. However, very little is known of their whereabouts outside the breeding season (8). Most, if not all, Hyperolius species from forest habitats deposit eggs in a gelatinous mass on vegetation above water, while some savanna-living species lay their eggs aquatically (5) (8).Top
Montane reed frog range
Hyperolius castaneus is found in the Albertine Rift, one of the richest sites for biodiversity in Africa. Its range stretches through eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, western Rwanda, western Burundi, and south-western Uganda (1) (6).Top
Montane reed frog habitat
Inhabits swamps in grassland and forest, between 1,600 and 2,850 metres above sea level (1).Top
Montane reed frog status
Classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).Top
Montane reed frog threats
Although a relatively abundant species, the distribution of Hyperolius castaneus is severely fragmented and its population is probably declining because of a decrease in the quality and extent of swamp habitat. Habitat conversion for agriculture and encroaching human settlement are thought to be principally responsible for habitat degradation in the Albertine Rift (1)Top
Montane reed frog conservation
There are no known conservation measures for Hyperolius castaneus but it is known to be present in at least two protected areas, Bwindi National Park in Uganda and the Virungas National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo (1).Top

The winter of Malph 2014-15 is number 35 and has a definite theme: the COSMO. The latest dark trends inspire a series of space images, moon, galactic, UFO thematic of extraterrestrials explorations. The fabrics in dark colors are contrasted by the explosion of prints, over embroideries and applications that affect over and ignite the imagination as in the early '50s space comics. Minimal Fits alternate with Over Fits with more experimental specific forms. Malph is search, courage to draw simple shapes and elements on basic items such as tshirt or sweatshirt and make them different.
An example? Malph captures from the sky two stars made by technical nylon that on the sweatshirt skim over and create a movement of black&colors geometric shapes. The more minimal alternative is the nylon star placed on the shoulders: it'easy to see the similarity with the spacesuits of StarTrek. And again, printed Falling Stars that from the neck down along the fabric creating an explosive and bright falling effect. Finally, a huge star in fabric will surprise for the winding, futuristic fit and for the intuitive easy to cut off exactly the form.
Malph plays with shapes that affect the fit of the garments: the women over tshirt with a circular shape of the Full Moon is an example. Or the round sweatshirt with a Moon Slice print on the side, new and unusual concept that with the black&white offset of the craters creates striking contrasts. The moon is printed on the top of the sweatshirt, creating an alternation of light and shade between the fabric and the print, referring to the bi-color trend of recent times. Or even the Moon Phases – from Bananamoon to Fullmoon – go to marry the classic pois: the result is a textured elegant and sophisticated tshirt. A graphic inspired by the Maya Calendars with the Moon still the protagonist closes the circle of the winter tees, so transversal that it can be worn cross under a basic or a rock jacket. Last but not least also the evergreen Balloon is inspired by the Cosmo: it is a moon that with the usual rope, has the difficult task of taking-on the heavy Universe.
Malph embroiders Jupiter in the outline using the technique of Embroidery Quilt: the effect is an invasion of allover planets that dominate the fabric of the sleeves and adorn the head.
Mars Attack is the movie inspiration. Dozens of UFOs "V" embroidered recall the '50s sweaters and give the impression of an alien invasion with a vintage taste. The zip sweatshirt has a "Mother Spacecraft" embroidered on the back that, with different Technical Nylon, seems to capture with the stream that falls from the spaceship. In the 70's the first computers made crazy the kids with the Space Invaders game that later will became cult. Malph combines those early technological beginnings with the tradition of the so-called Mountain sweater: the special Crack Print – that will crack after a few washes – is perfectly suited to look like Wool; the choice of neck Dolcevita and the black&white texture create a movement typical of the small spaceships committed to fend and to destroy the enemies.

Blue Gene Named Medal of Technology and Innovation Award Winner
The IBM Blue Gene series of energy-efficient supercomputers has been named the Medal of Technology and Innovation award winner, the highest honor for technological achievement for outstanding contributions related to the nation's competiveness, standard of living, and quality of life through the development and commercialization of technological products. The medal program is administered by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and is awarded annually to individuals, teams, and companies.
The Blue Gene leverages a high-performance, low-power, system-on-a-chip architecture offering extreme integration that dramatically improves reliability increases energy efficiency and reduces operating costs. Much of the software needed to operate Blue Gene comes from the open source community and was developed by laboratories and universities around the world. Argonne National Labs was involved in fostering that community as well as developing key components of the system software. For example, the Blue Gene leverages Argonne's MPICH, the version of the Message Passing Interface that scientists use to write parallel programs capable of scaling to hundreds of thousands of CPU cores. Computer scientists are also working on extending the capabilities of Blue Gene with advanced math libraries, improved parallel file systems, and even experimental operating systems such as ZeptoOS, which permits users to run Linux on the Blue Gene's compute nodes.
"The Blue Gene supercomputers are an outstanding example of our investment in nuclear security providing the tools to tackle broader national challenges," said NNSA Administrator Thomas D'Agostino. "This machine, which was originally developed to ensure the safety and reliability of our nuclear stockpile without testing, has led to amazing advances in science and discovery."
The U.S. Department of Energy began an R&D partnership with IBM in 2001 to develop the Blue Gene platform. Argonne National Lab and Lawrence Livermore National Lab worked on key aspects of the design and provided critical software components to ensure it was well suited to solve challenges in energy, the environment and national security.

Eight members of a youth group from Berkhamsted's Sunnyside Church have lobbied South West Herts MP David Gauke to urge the government to end tax trickery by multinational companies.
They told Mr Gauke, who is also a treasury minister, that tax avoidance tactics are costing developing countries an estimated $160 billion every year – money that would be better spent on essential services such as schools and hospitals.
After a session led by Christian Aid about the impact of tax avoidance on the world's poorest communities, the group was inspired to take action and arranged to speak with their MP about the issue.
Christian Aid believes that poor countries struggle to access the information needed to counteract tax avoidance by multinational companies.
The youth group asked Mr Gauke how he aims to encourage greater disclosure of information and what measures the government is taking to support developing countries in recouping tax revenue they are owed.
Group member Naomi Pyburn said: "Our generation is responsible for shaping the future of our world, so it is vital, as young people, to get political and take action against injustice.
"How can we expect David Gauke to be our voice if we don't tell him what issues we are passionate about?"
Fellow group member Callum Scott added: "If you want to be listened, get involved."

Mining Initiative (GMT), launched in 2009, brings together stakeholders to develop green technologies, processes and knowledge for sustainable mining. The GMI objectives are to improve the mining sector's environmental performance, promote mining innovation and position Canadian mining companies and suppliers as global leaders in green mining in an emerging market. Natural Resources Canada invests $8M annually on the GMI with an additional $3M in direct industry funding. The Green Mining Initiative has spurred green mining innovation across Canada, which led to significant progresses on a number of key R&D projects and new projects being launched. Examples include developing and testing, in collaboration with a Canadian equipment manufacturer, the first worldwide electric-diesel hybrid loader in a Canadian mine. Additional funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada will result in the bringing to market of a new hybrid loader with over twice the production capacity of the first prototype. A green mining vehicle? green energy roadmap is being developed to provide a strategy for selecting clean alternatives to diesel. Meeting strength requirements for a unique alternative binder process that could be used for mining backfill was also undertaken. Patenting is underway for this technology as well as for a technology developed to successfully recover gold without the use of cyanide. Results of a third year of monitoring on mine sites as part of the Green Mines Green Energy initiative continue to demonstrate that the growth of biomass crops on mine tailings is feasible. GMI is a striking example of good governance in sustainable mining and of what can be achieved throughout collaboration and partnerships. Benefits of increasing collaboration at the international level could be significant.
Canada's Integrated Oceans Management Program (IOM) supports regional processes through which decisions are made for the sustainable use, development and protection of Canada's marine ecosystem and resources. The IOM program provides federal, provincial and territorial authorities, industry and Canadians with the science and risk-based tools and governance fora needed to collaboratively develop Integrated Management Plans for defined ocean spaces. These plans, which incorporate social, economic and environmental considerations in decision making, are informed by the identification of Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas; Species and Community properties; the mapping of human uses; and the assessment of potential interactions between uses and key functional and structural aspects of marine ecosystems. Outcomes of the IOM process also include the identification of conservation measures, including networks of marine protected areas needed to support the sustainable development of ocean resources contributing to Canada's
continuing fulfillment of international ocean-related commitments.
Sustainable Consumption and Production
Significant Canadian advancement in green building and sustainable community planning has been accelerated, in part, by federal programs such as the EQuilibriumTM Sustainable Housing Demonstration Initiative. Led by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and supported by Natural Resources Canada's Canmet ENERGY expertise, this initiative will result in the design, construction and demonstration of 12 highly sustainable homes across the country which
produce as much energy as they consume on an annual basis. This cooperation between the public and private sectors has informed, inspired and accelerated the adoption of net zero energy healthy housing concepts nationally. Building on this successful initiative, the $4.2M EQuilibrium TM Communities initiative supports research, monitoring and showcasing of selected high performance neighbourhood projects. EQuilibrium TM Communities aims to provide measurable improvements over current practices in energy and water consumption, environmental protection, financial
viability, land use and transportation.
Canada has put in place a strategy for the environmentally sound and secure disposal of all of its surplus electronic and electrical equipment. The Federal E-waste Disposal Strategy emphasizes reuse prior to recycling, where possible. Reuse options include donation to Computers for Schools (CFS), interdepartmental transfer, charitable donation and sale to the public. The Strategy provides recycling options for equipment that cannot be reused including disposal through provincial
recycling programs and a standing offer for e-waste recycling services. The Strategy is contributing to the realization of the green economy in Canada by creating green jobs, diverting e-waste from landfill, supporting provincial recycling infrastructure and providing computer-based educational and learning opportunities.
Technology Roadmaps (TRMs) are effective tools to enhance the coordination and development of innovative industries and technologies, with benefits to sustainability and the green economy. Since 2002, Canada has used TRMs as forecasting tools that aim to determine future market needs, promote collaboration, and advance promising technologies. TRM processes allow government, industry and academia to work together to predict needs. Many TRMs focus on advancing emerging renewable and clean energy industries, or to address sustainability issues of other industrial sectors.
Industry Canada and Natural Resources Canada have completed TRMs for sustainable fuels and chemicals from biomass, hydrogen fuel cell commercialization, clean coal, and carbon capture and storage. Work continues on TRMs for marine energy and sustainable housing.
Among Canada's newer initiatives are green patents, or patent applications related to environmental technologies. Accelerating such patent applications can foster investment and expedite commercialization of technologies that could help to resolve or mitigate environmental impacts or to conserve the natural environment and resources. In 2011, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office implemented a new regulation to expedite the examination of green patents, and no
fee is required.
Annex II - Proposed Green Growth / Green Economy Indicators
As part of Canada's commitment to further dialogue and identify a balanced approach to measuring progress towards green growth, Canada believes there would be value in an international discussion on a suite of green growth indicators that countries could voluntarily choose to compile. In support of a constructive discussion at Rio+20, Canada is in favour of a process for the creation of a voluntary set of indicators. In this spirit, Canada has identified an illustrative set of indicators for international consideration building upon the OECD's ongoing work on green growth. Using the
OECD's Towards Green Growth framework as a lens, Canada's draft indicators have been groupedby the themes identified by the OECD. The policy rationale for the indicators selected in each theme is summarized below:
I. Environmental and resource productivity Indicators in this theme reflect the need for natural capital to be used efficiently. Sustainable growth will require the decoupling of economic growth and environmental impacts.
II. Natural asset base
Indicators in this theme reflect that traditional markets and accounting frameworks do not always properly reflect the risks associated with declining natural capital stocks. Further, longer-term economic prosperity requires an adequate asset base.
III. Environmental quality of life
Indicators in this theme reflect that environmental considerations can be particularly important to people when they have a direct impact on their lives. Indicators in this theme can be an effective bridge across the economic, social, and environmental pillars of sustainable development.
IV. Economic opportunities and policy responses
Indicators in this theme reflect that policies can help shape and define new opportunities.
Innovative markets and technologies can spur productivity and job growth while minimizing the
environmental footprint of goods and services. Work is required to ensure that the proposed indicators can overcome challenges in data, methodology, and comparability across countries. Canada looks forward to continuing to collaborate closely with the UN, the OECD, member countries, and other partners to further develop this important work.
Proposed green growth indicators
I. Environmental and resource efficiency and productivity
1. Production-based CO2 intensity
2. Demand-based CO2 intensity
3. Energy intensity
4. Share of renewable energy (by type) in total primary energy supply and in electricity production
5. Non-GHG emitting sources as a share of total primary energy supply and in electricity
6. Material intensity
7. Waste intensity
8. Nutrient flows and balances
9. Multi-factor productivity reflecting environmental services
II. Natural asset base
Physical and monetary (where possible) measures of key natural capital stocks:
10. Energy resources
11. Freshwater resources
12. Forest resources
13. Fish resources
14. Mineral resources
15. Land resources (land use and quality)
III. Environmental quality of life
17. Environmentally induced health problems & related costs
18. Population-weighted exposures to air pollution
IV. Economic opportunities and policy responses
19. R&D expenditure of importance to green growth
20. Patents of importance to green growth
21. Environment-related innovation in all sectors
22. Value of environmental goods and services produced in the economy
23. Value-added in environmental goods and services production
24. Imports and exports of environmental goods and services
25. Employment in environmental goods and services production (direct and indirect)
26. Capital and operating expenditures on environmental protection (remediation andmitigation)
Annex III - Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development Proposal
Better Integration of Sustainable Development Considerations in the UN System: a potential Outcome for Rio+20
This is a proposal for the elaboration of a framework that better enables the mainstreaming of sustainable development considerations (i.e., economic, social and environmental considerations) across the UN system, with a particular emphasis on the UN's programming activities at the country level. This approach would include efforts to support developing countries to integrate sustainable development considerations into their national development
plans and priorities as a core element of an enhanced sustainable development partnership.
This proposal is focused on improving existing mechanisms and structures and program delivery at the country level rather than the creation of new institutions and agencies. It is meant to serve as a contribution to the overall effort to improve the institutional framework for sustainable development
This proposal is focused on establishing sustainable development as a mainstream priority within UN programming in developing countries. As such, it seeks to address a gap in the context of the institutional framework for sustainable development, which includes efforts at strengthening sustainable development at the local, national, regional and international levels.
To achieve the integration of sustainable development considerations, a two-pronged approach could be adopted.
At the Country Level:
The first element is inspired by the Delivering as One initiative as an example of how to achieve greater coherence and coordination among UN activities at the country level.
UN programming within the Delivering as One framework is

This is a beautifully detailed, laser engraved and precision cut topographical Map of Norris Lake, Tennessee with the following interesting stats carved into it:
- Construction started October 1, 1933
- Completed January 22, 1937
- 809 miles of shoreline
- 34,200 surface acres
- Lake named for George W. Norris, Senator from Nebraska, in recognition of his public service
Interesting factoid: As one of the most desirable vacation destinations in the southeast, Norris Lake has a long history beginning as early as 1911. During this year, the location for a future dam development in the upper Tennessee Valley had been discovered. The future development site named "Cove Creek Site" at the time was chosen due to its natural landscape and ability to host a large dam. On October 1, 1933, the relatively new Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) took on their largest project and first Dam, the construction of Norris Dam. The initial budget for the project was over $32 million dollars. Flooding had been a problem for the Tennessee valley for some time, and it was the goal for Norris Dam to bring some stability to the uncontrollable and unpredictable flooding as well as provide a substantial power source to the area. The name for the dam was an honor given to a longtime supporter of TVA and Nebraska Senator, George Norris (_PHONE_).
On March 4, 1936, Norris Dam was completed with the gates closed. The finished dam itself is 1,860 feet long and 265 feet high. By January of 1937, the Norris Reservoir was filled completely creating the largest reservoir on a tributary of the Tennessee River. Norris Lake hosts 33,840 acres of water surface and approximately 809 miles of shoreline. TVA's finished project, the Norris Dam, also proudly delivers a maximum energy delivery of 131,400 kilowatts.
During the construction process of Norris Dam and the reservoir required massive purchases and acquisitions. Over 152,000 acres of land were purchased, 2,841 families and 5,226 graves were relocated to provide the construction area needed for the huge TVA project. The town of Norris, TN was initially founded and built to house all of the thousands of workers involved in the construction of Norris Dam. (Not all of this information made it onto the map, we just love to read up on the lakes we design).

text: Carbon dioxide absorbers have been used in anesthesiology for many years. However, this process is not limited to this field of medicine. Removing carbon dioxide from human environment is used in other areas as well: mining industry, submarines, scuba diving, space travel and many others. The rationale to remove carbon dioxide from confined spaces is that cannot be eliminated otherwise. Anesthesia practitioners are well aware of this component of the circle system, the carbon dioxide absorber. In daily practice, the clinician is less concerned with what kind of substance fills the dedicated canister, as this is usually in the care of the maintenance personnel. The appearance of Sevoflurane and Desflurane, with their own chemical characteristics, prompted the clinician to dedicate new attention to these absorbents. The classical substances used for this purpose are different combinations of limes. The practical concern of the anesthesiologist is to notice when the absorbent is consumed and call for its replacement. Still, many other aspects remain: compound A formation with Sevoflurane, carbon monoxide formation with Desflurane and dry absorbent for instance. The latest member of these products in the medical field is the LiOH carbon dioxide absorbent. Although used for many years in the space exploration, its way into the operating room is a rather recent achievement. Special chemical properties and high absorptive capacity make this new type of absorbent an attractive option for modern anesthesia practice. The article below invites the reader through a short journey on the history of the CO2 absorbents and anesthesia circuits, Lithium as a chemical element and, finally, to this new type of absorbent.

Pathfinding is an important piece of gameplay that is taken for granted until you try to make or edit a map. It is processed by a series of functions to ultimately determine how in-game actors can or cannot move on, around, or under objects in the map. This page is intended to do two thingsto document the process that is run to generate the pathfinding data and to describe its impact on and how to work with it when map editing.
Step One - Floor and Ceiling Tracing
The first step in determining where an actor can move is to search for horizontal surfaces that can be stood on, then determining if there is a sufficient opening to accommodate the actor if it were to stand in that surface. This trace is meant to be ran once for every size actor that will be used in the game.
This is started by sending a 4 unit * 4 unit (in model units) box trace from the highest untraced part of the map down towards the base of the model. This box is centered at the center point for an actor of a given size, so a 2 cell * 2 cell actor (UGV) will have the tracing box centered in the corners of the four adjacent cells, where a 1 * 1 actor will trace through the center of each cell. If no cell is found, the cells traced are considered "bottomless" and no actor may enter.
When a potential surface is found, another box trace is prepared. This second trace starts at the found floor and extends up through the point above the floor that is the minimum distance that any actor may step up. (Step up refers to the maximum height that any given actor may "step up" or increase its height when traveling from one cell to another before the climb is too steep and is considered a wall, which currently is 20 units.) This test is to ensure that there is legroom for the actor to stand. If any brush is found, this floor is considered unusable and this whole step is restarted at a point beneath this found floor.
DISCUSSION ITEM: Should this legroom test be made wider? It currently is not the same size as the actor's width to prevent unwanted brush detections in irregular floors.
The third and final trace is from that minimum step up point to the top of the model. The first suitable brush found that would obstruct an actor from occupying the cell is marked as the ceiling. This ceiling must be a minimum specified height above the floor that was found, otherwise this process is repeated at a point beneath this found floor.
If the ceiling is acceptable, the cells that occupy the traces between the floor and the ceiling are assigned both floor and ceiling values. The values stored are relative to the base of the cell that the value is for, and are recorded in "step up" units. One "step up" unit is 4 model units. Any negative floor values indicate that the floor is at a point below the base of the current cell and that an actor would likely fall if that cell was entered. Any ceilings that are 16 or greater indicate that the brush was found in a cell above the current cell.
If no ceiling is found, the top of the model is treated as an acceptable ceiling, and the above applies.
If there are any cells that have a ceiling below them and a floor above them and contain no usable floor brushes, the cell is marked as "solid" by setting the ceiling value to 0.
Step Two - Wall (Passage) Tracing
Note: This section is highly outdated due to a new commit. However, a good discussion of what has changed can be found in this SourceForge tracker article. I will update this page to reflect those changes shortly. --Wilminator 06:00, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
The next step in pathfinding is to trace for walls. However, this is done by looking for the openings (passages) between cells. Just like floors and ceilings, the passages found can span multiple cells vertically. This trace is also meant to be ran once for every size actor that will be used in the game.
A couple of mathematical checks are made first to see if traces should even be made. If the current cell or the destination cell cannot be occupied, the whole test is skipped. The difference in height from the original cell into the destination cell may not exceed the maximum step up height, but the destination may be lower than the original cell.
DISCUSSION ITEM: I never separated out the minimum and maximum step up heights. We can do that, but it could make map compile times slower and maybe even buggier. Split them so we can have per-actor step up heights or make that a fixed value in game?
The first trace ran checks the space between the maximum step up height and the minimum opening size between the original cell and the destination cell. A tracing box with the actor's x and y dimensions is traced from the original cell to the destination at this height and must be completely void of obstructions. If any obstruction is detected, then there cannot be a passage here, and so this step is restarted in the cell *above*.
A series of traces is then ran from the maximum step up height to the higher of the two floors to look for the passage's lowest point. Next, a series of traces is ran from the minimum opening height to the lower ceiling. This difference is then calculated and stored as the size opening available for an actor to move through into the destination cell. If this opening extends into the cells above, the opening is recorded as if the bottom of the opening only dropped to the bottom of the current cell. If theory, we can now accommodate actors that are taller than one cell, as well as making some openings that only allow for crouching actors to pass through.
If no opening is available, a 0 is stored as the size of the opening.
Step Three - Path Finding
Now that there is enough data collected that describes the terrain, we can begin generating available paths from a place in the map. However, before I write about the process used to figure out where an actor can move, I want to talk about a few features taht can affect how an actor can move through the map.
The first feature to discuss is the concept of crouching. This feature allows an actor can now move while crouched and have the adjusted height of the actor used to determine if a passage big enough exists for the actor. The default pathfinding function will consider both the actors standing and crouching heights when determining where an actor can move. This allows for a path to be determined that will require an actor to crouch in order to get to a desired location, and enables an actor to crouch through an opening if it is the optimum path in terms of TUs used.
A new feature that has been added is flying actors. In order for an actor to be a flier, it must be able to fly and intend to fly. If the actor cannot fly or does not want to, then gravity affects its movements. To fly, one of two conditions must be met: the player must have turned on the actor's ability to fly (which then allows the actor to select airborne cells to move into) or a land-based destination is selected that may only be reached if the actor were to fly. By default, an actor will walk to the destination if possible as it will save TUs.
NOTE: The flying feature is partially written into the pathfinding code, but is not in the user interface or built into the game. At this time it is for reference only, and flying is turned off in the pathfinding code.
Another feature that has been added is the ladder feature. Brushes can be marked as ladders and used to climb up and down through the map. Actors that face the direction of the ladder brushes will not be affected by gravity while they face the direction of the ladder brush. If the actor climbs to the top of a ladder, the actor may stand and face any direction, but may only climb down when facing the direction of the ladder brush. There is the possibility of the actor using weapons while on the ladder, but may not turn to face the target unless a ladder brush would permit it.
NOTE: The ladder feature is written into the pathfinding code, but is turned off. The ladder attribute for brushes needs to be defined, as well as some additional housekeeping items for fully implementing ladders.
Please note that when a move is recorded, both the TUs needed to get to the cell, the direction moved to get into the cell, and the z coordinate from the originating cell is recorded. Also remember that there is different map data depending on the actor's size (not height) that was generated in the last two steps.
When determining if an actor can move from one cell into another, the first check is to ensure that we are not trying to see if a non-flying actor is trying to fly. We also check to see that the actor is not trying to fly while crouched. We then identify the TUs used to move in this direction. NOTE: A move may also indicate a crouching toggle or a fall.
Next, we check to see if we can stand from our crouch or move into a crouch and check to see if it is the least TU expensive move. If so we record the move. Either way, we are done if we we crouching or standing.
Next, if we are trying to fly, we only need to ensure that the direction we are flying in can accommodate the size of our actor. If so, then we check to ensure that this is the least TU expensive move, and record the move if it is. If we were trying to fly, we are now done.
If the actor is trying to walk, we also

Time. We waste it, save it, kill it, make it. The world runs on it. Yet, ask physicists what time actually is, and the answer might shock you: They have no idea. Even more surprising, the deep sense we have of time passing from present to past may be nothing more than an illusion. How can our understanding of something so familiar be so wrong?
Brian Greene is an American theoretical physicist and string theorist. He has been a professor at Columbia University since 1996. Greene has worked on mirror symmetry, relating two different Calabi-Yau manifolds (concretely, relating the conifold to one of its orbifolds). He also described the flop transition, a mild form of topology change, showing that topology in string theory can change at the conifold point. He has become known to a wider audience through his books for the general public, The Elegant Universe, Icarus at the Edge of Time, The Fabric of the Cosmos, The Hidden Reality, and a related PBS television special.

Since the soft phone have already been configured successfully, calling and incoming calls are working now. Now we need to learn about the voice mail and call forwarding. Through voice mail you can hear the telephone message if someone has left one to you. With the settings of call forwarding you can make transfers of incoming calls.
Voice mail
We need to enable the voice mail feature first.
Find out your device which was registered just now, click "Advanced" in the edit page.
当来电打进电话无人接听时候系统自动将会转到语音邮箱进行留言，电话会响起语音提示"请在滴声后进行留言，完成后请挂机。"，待你留言结束后，又会再次响起"接受这个录音请按1，听这个录音请按2，重新录制请按3，转话务员请按0"。
Select "enable" after the "Voice mail status".
When a call came in and was not answered, the system would transfer it to the voice mail, they would hear a voice saying "Please leave your message after the beat."
When someone left you a message, enter the voice mail interface to check the message.
Choose PBX management →voice mails, enter the page shown as below:
You can have a view of the team, agent, device, contact and time of the message in the voice mail's list.
Under the "option" there are 3 buttons:
download the message.
listen online.
delete the message.
You can also listen to the voice messages by telephone
Enter the system settings in the system management list, and click " Feature code" to open the following interface:
You can see "My voice mail" is * 97 (set your own in the system settings)", then dial * 97 and press the call button on the soft phone to hear the voice message.
The the system will tell you how many messages do you have and you can press 1 to listen to them.
Call forwarding
In order to know how to use call forwarding, we need to learn how to configure it in the system.
Click system management → Feature code on the left side to open the following page:
Shortcut Key: dial the number to function accordingly.
For example, open the soft phone, dial *91
and press the calling button to use the "Forwad key", then you will hear"请输入呼叫前转移号码，完成后按#号键". Enter the number to be forwarded. The voice saying "呼叫前转移设置成功" means the settings are done.
Now, if someone calls your number, system will forward the call to the number you have just set.
Short cut keys are modifiable
When is not changed, the shortcut key data are all by default. Choose the corresponding team in the pull-down menu and you can see its shortcut keys. You can change the shortcut keys within every team.
Double-click the shortcut key to modify. When mouse point left, the information is automatically saved then.
Hot key: the transfer function. During the phone call, press the number to start the corresponding function.
Now is disabled, which means the data are default regardless of different teams.
Blind transfer: When a call comes in, number is dialed which leads to blind transfer and gets transfered, the call is put through if someone picks it up, otherwise it would be directly hanged up.
When a call comes in, enter "*51" on the soft phone and press the calling call button, and the call would be transfered and cut from the caller.
Attended transfer: When a call is answered, enter #00 and you would hear "transfer", then the number which has been transfered is being dialing. First you need to get through the number which is to transfer, and only on condition that the transferee agrees to answer can you hang up, and the caller and the transferee can get connected. If the transferee didn't get connected or hanged up after connection, you have to talk to the caller.
Double-click the hot key to modify. When mouse point left, the information is automatically saved then.
When you have modified [Blind transfer] and [Attended transfer], a yellow prompt shows up asking you to reload. Click the yellow promp and it will disappear.
【Status】 "Enable" and "Disable" "Enable" means you can use these keys to function and "Disable" means you cannot.
When you submit the settings, the call forward and call transfer are realized.
Next, we will explain how toConfigure a trunk to make calling and incoming calls

This study presents the results from a survey issued to speech-language pathologists in the state of Kentucky regarding their perspectives on referral and assessment of bilingual speakers whose primary language is not English. The study was conducted to determine methods for decreasing the over-identification of bilingual students served for speech and language disorders. Literature review indicates an over-identification of non-English speakers in special education and related services programs nationwide. There are many possible reasons for this over-identification some of which include: lack of English instruction prior to testing in English, Speech-Language Pathologists' preparation level, and shortage of appropriately normed assessment tools. This study specifically addresses Kentucky Speech-Language Pathologists' preparation and comfort level with referral and assessment of non-English speaking students.

Tata Group is a multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered in Mumbai, India. The company includes 30 publicly listed Tata enterprises including Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Power, Tata Chemicals, Tata Global Beverages, Tata Teleservices, Titan, Tata Communications and Taj Group. These businesses collectively employ over 660,000 people and each operates independently under the guidance and supervision of its own board of directors and shareholders.
Tata decided to perform a natural capital assessment for a number of reasons which it saw as directly beneficial to its business:
In total, five Tata companies undertook a natural capital assessment:
In all cases the Value Chain focus was 'direct operations', and the Value Perspective adopted was 'societal value'.
A number of different impacts and dependencies were assessed, with both qualitative and quantitative/monetary valuation methods being used to describe the final results. These are summarized in the following table:
Tata's first attempt at a natural capital assessment was particularly helpful in making clear a number of challenges within the framework. The learnings will help make future assessments more robust.
In terms of data availability, Tata found that data – especially around biodiversity and land use, and land use change – is difficult to obtain. The company needed to rely heavily on proxy data, and contextual data around socio-economic performance was either found to be out of date or unavailable.
Tata also found that in terms of technical knowledge, the field of environmental and social impact assessment is still evolving. Some gaps still exist, for example the economic valuation of the benefits provided by particular landscape types. These include semi-arid and dessert ecosystems, impact assessment of ocean pollution, and the change in the course of river flow due to construction of hydroelectric dam infrastructure.
Finally, mainstreaming the outcome of a natural capital assessment continues to present challenges. Particularly, gaining internal buy-in to the process from influencers within the business such as COOs, CFOs and strategists. Taking informed business decisions based on natural capital valuation is still challenging since assumptions must be made around the applicability of valuation methods (such as value transfer) to each specific business context.
The next steps for Tata in their natural capital assessments are likely to involve driving internal buy-in further, and using some of the findings from the assessment process to good effect elsewhere within wider group operations.
One example of the former is in socializing Natural Capital concepts with Tata Board Members, C-suite and other influencers, and the creation of critical mass of Natural Capital 'Champions' among the Tata group companies. In terms of the latter, Tata are now trialing the use of an internal carbon price for the screening of CAPEX items, and in key operational decision making.
This case study was originally posted by the Natural Capital Coalition. For more information on the Protocol and to view more case studies, please visit their website.

Landing Platform Helicopter
USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2)
Landing Platform Helicopter (LPH) is the hull classification used by a number of the world's navies to designate a type of amphibious warfare ship designed primarily to operate as a launch and recovery platform for helicopters and other VTOL aircraft. As such, they are considered a type of helicopter carrier.
Under the NATO Standardisation Agreement (STANAG) document for reporting vessels, LPH is a short form designator used for "Amphibious Assault Ship, Helicopter" defined as a "large helicopter carrier" for carrying and deploying around 1,800 assault troops using its own aircraft, but for which use of landing craft is "not a principal function". For ships of this hull classification in the Royal Navy, LPH is a direct acronym for "Landing Platform Helicopter", while the United States Navy referred to its vessels within this classification as "Amphibious Assault Ships". Regardless of the terminology, all vessels classified as an LPH possess essentially similar capabilities.
The Royal Navy also used the term "Commando Carrier", which it applied to aircraft carriers converted to helicopter only operations. The RN now operates one vessel that it classifies as an LPH, HMS Ocean. Following the British government's decision to withdraw its Harrier aircraft at the end of 2010, the former light fleet carrier HMS Illustrious also performed this role, but has now been decommissioned.
The LPH classification was used by the United States Navy for the amphibious assault ships of the Iwo Jima class, a converted Casablanca-class escort carrier and three converted Essex-class aircraft carriers. No ships of this classification are currently in active service with the United States Navy, having been replaced with multi-purpose ships classified under NATO naming conventions as Landing Helicopter Dock or Landing Helicopter Assault ships.

Replication: Conflicts
In a replicating system, it is possible that two writes to the same document will occur on two different servers, resulting in two independent versions of the same document. Usually this scenario shows up only when there was a network or node failure that resulted in the failover node taking over the duties of the failed / unreachable node. Another scenario where this may happen is if you have setup replication in a master/master format, where a user may write any document to any node.
When replication occurs between these two versions, the Replication Bundle is faced with a problem. It has two authentic versions of the same entity, saying different things. At this point, the Replication Bundle will mark such document as conflicting, store all the conflicting documents in a safe place, and set the document content to point to the conflicting documents.
Let's see what we mean by that. Let's assume that we write the following document to one node:
Figure 1: Replication conflicts
And then write this document to a second node:
Figure 2: Replication conflicts
Now, let us setup replication between the first server (8080) and the second server (8081), and then try to access the document again on 8081:
Figure 3: Replication conflicts
Several things happened here:
 - The server replied with 409 Conflict to the request.
 - The document that we get back is a Conflict Document, which lists all the ids conflicting documents.
We can access each of the conflicting documents by their ids:
Figure 4: Replication conflicts
Figure 5: Replication conflicts
We can resolve the conflict by writing a new document, which the Replication Bundle will consider as the result of user defined merge operation between the conflicts.
The Client API fully supports working with such scenarios, as the following code sample demonstrates:
using (IDocumentSession session = store.OpenSession())
 User user = session.Load("users/ayende");
 catch (ConflictException e)
 Console.WriteLine("Choose which document you want to preserve:");
 List list = new List();
 for (int i = 0; i < e.ConflictedVersionIds.Length; i++)
 var doc = store.DatabaseCommands.Get(e.ConflictedVersionIds[i]);
 Console.WriteLine("{0}. {1}", i, doc.DataAsJson.ToString(Formatting.None));
 int select = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
 JsonDocument resolved = list[select];
 store.DatabaseCommands.Put("users/ayende", null, resolved.DataAsJson, resolved.Metadata);
If this code detects a conflict, it will let the user choose which of the conflicting versions to keep. A more sophisticated approach would be to attempt going through an actual merge based on the business meaning of the document.
Document Conflict listeners can be used to perform an automatic conflict resolution. More about it can be found here.

Kinetic Analysis of Thermoluminescence Glow Curve of Indian Sillimanite
In the present work thermoluminescence (TL) properties of natural sillimanite mineral has been studied after grounded it to powder form. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis shows the crystalline nature of the sample. TL measurement from the un-irradiate sample results no signal, but after 60 mGy X-ray dose irradiation a high intensity glow peak (at ~360 K) followed by a low intensity peak (at ~424 K) have been observed in the glow curve. After annealing the sample at 473 and 773 K for 30 minutes, some deformations in the peaks of the glow curve have been observed. The Glow Curve De-convolution analysis reveals that the glow curve of un-annealed sample is practically a combination of four closely spaced TL peaks located at around 330, 362, 388 and 424 K. However after annealing, the lowest temperature peak has not observed. Analysis shows that the lowest temperature peak in the un-annealed sample is due to a pressure induced surface trapping site developed during grinding and after annealing it disappears from the crystal.

Column not found when SELECTing from a recursive Common Table Expression (CTE)

to H2 Database
Hello all,
I'm new to the group so I apologize if this question has already been answered elsewhere. I'm just hoping someone has some ideas of what could be happening, as I'm running out of ideas.
Let's suppose I'm retrieving some data from a table that has a parent/child reference. I'm using a common table expression to SELECT the starting nodes from this table. Then, I have a second common table expression to recursively SELECT the parents/ancestors of the starting nodes (think starting at the leaf of a tree and working backwards to the root).
The basic structure looks like this:
/* Initial data retrieval */
WITH cte AS (
 SELECT table_1.column_1, /* VARCHAR(255) */
 table_1.column_2, /* VARCHAR(255) */
 table_1.column_3, /* INTEGER */
 table_1.node_id, /* VARCHAR(255) */
 table_1.parent_node_id /* VARCHAR(255) */
 FROM table_1
),
/* Recursive CTE */
recursive_cte(column_1, column_2, node_id, parent_node_id) AS (
 SELECT cte.column_1,
 cte.column_2,
 cte.node_id,
 cte.parent_node_id
 FROM cte
 UNION ALL
 SELECT table_1.column_1,
 table_1.column_2,
 table_1.node_id,
 table_1.parent_node_id
 FROM table_1
 JOIN recursive_cte
 ON table_1.node_id = recursive_cte.parent_node_id
)
SELECT recursive_cte.column_1,
 recursive_cte.column_2
 FROM recursive_cte
The query works great in both of my test databases. Let's call them database 1 (1000 records in table_1) and database 2 (100,000 records in table_1). They both use the same schema.
Now, I'd like to add another column to the output of recursive_cte so I can do some additional filtering, so I add column_3 (from table_1) in the highlighted locations:
/* Initial data retrieval */
WITH cte AS (
 SELECT table_1.column_1, /* VARCHAR(255) */
 table_1.column_2, /* VARCHAR(255) */
 table_1.column_3, /* INTEGER */
 table_1.node_id, /* VARCHAR(255) */
 table_1.parent_node_id /* VARCHAR(255) */
 FROM table_1
),
/* Recursive CTE */
recursive_cte(column_1, column_2, column_3, node_id, parent_node_id) AS (
 SELECT cte.column_1,
 cte.column_2,
 cte.column_3,
 cte.node_id,
 cte.parent_node_id
 FROM cte
 UNION ALL
 SELECT table_1.column_1,
 table_1.column_2,
 table_1.column_3,
 table_1.node_id,
 table_1.parent_node_id
 FROM table_1
 JOIN recursive_cte
 ON table_1.node_id = recursive_cte.parent_node_id
)
SELECT recursive_cte.column_1,
 recursive_cte.column_2,
 recursive_cte.column_3
 FROM recursive_cte
This new query works fine in database 1, but errors out in database 2. The error I get is Column "RECURSIVE_CTE.COLUMN_3" not found, which leads me to believe it's coming from the last SELECT query at the bottom. For some reason, that query can't find column_3 in the recursive CTE, even though I made sure to include it in the declaration.
The weird part is that it works in one database but not the other, even though they share the same schema. It makes me wonder if I'm hitting some sort of memory limit in H2 Embedded. The weirdest part is that its always the INTEGER column that seems to disappear, considering an INTEGER should take up much less space in memory than a VARCHAR(255).
Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this? Any insights are greatly appreciated.

Greetings!
While I am not a developer, but just an H2 user I would like to recommend to provide:
1) the DDL to create table_1 and table_2 and
2) some DML to fill it with data
This way we can reproduce your samples easily, with different versions of H2.
That said, the CTEs are still considered experimental although I never had problem using those with latest snapshots 2.2.212 - 2.2.219
Best of luck

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I think I may have already determined the cause of my stress.
I am using H2 in conjunction with Jasper Reports. The report I am running against the database has several subreports, and some of the subreports were using the same name for the CTEs. So, I was intermittently receiving errors related to missing columns because one of the CTEs had some columns that the other one did not.
I have a MS SQL Server background and I didn't realize that the CTEs in H2 persisted across multiple sessions/transactions, as this is not how they behave in SQL Server (they are ephemeral). So, with that in mind, I've begun approaching this problem differently.
Thanks

Unfortunately CTE's in H2 are currently pretty bad, and nobody has felt sufficiently motivated to do the surgery that is necessary to accomodate them really well.

text: Cameron Park Elementary School in Hillsborough held an Early Earth Day Celebration on April 11 with visits from two special guests: NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and UNC's Nobel Prize-winning scientist Oliver Smithies.Williams went to the International Space Station aboard the shuttle Discovery in December 2006 and remained in space for 195 days, setting the record for the longest spaceflight by a woman. While she was in the space station, another astronaut cut her long ponytail and sent the hair back to Earth to be donated to Locks of Love, which makes wigs for cancer patients. She also ran the Boston Marathon in space last year to draw attention to fitness for kids. Students also learned Williams worked seven-hour days wearing a 300-pound space suit, ate dehydrated food and exercised frequently to help prevent bone loss due to the lack of gravity. She told the students about the special respect and appreciation for the earth that she gained from her perspective in space.Smithies, who won the 2007 Nobel Prize in medicine, engaged Cameron Park students in a discussion about the excitement of discovery. Using a basketball, he showed how daylight moves around the earth as it rotates. He also showed students a helix and mentioned his laboratory experiments in genetics. Smithies' work has been recognized as revolutionizing research into the genetic basis of disease.Students also enjoyed outdoor games and lots of learning about conservation, recycling and environmental protection.Outdoor learning exhibits were presented by the North Carolina Fossil Club, SEEDS, North Carolina Fisheries, Orange County Soil and Water Conservation, Orange County Erosion Control, Orange County Solid Waste and Recycling, Bountiful Backyards, and Occaneechi leader John Blackfeather Jeffries.

Frame Image Management: Onboarding and Configuring SaaS Applications

Frame Image Management: Onboarding and Configuring SaaS Applications
Scenario: As a customer, you want to use Frame to provide access to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications. SaaS applications are also known as web-based software applications, meaning your main form of access to the application is through a web browser, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. You want to utilize the Application Experience to provide these applications to your users. With Frame, how do you accomplish this?
This series of blogs is around Frame Image Management. Image Management is "How do I set up my environment in the most optimal way, to minimize the number of images I have to manage?". This blog will cover a common virtual desktop use case to provide SaaS applications to users.
Why are SaaS applications different than any other application?
With most applications, installing and onboarding them is as simple as is documented. SaaS applications are a different breed, since they usually work off of the same root application, the web browser. With Frame, onboarding an application is based upon the executable, and only one listing of the onboarded application will be visible in the Sandbox page on the Dashboard. For the example we show below, we will be using Google Chrome as the web browser.
Sandbox and Chrome Browser (Onboarded)
So, you have multiple use cases for one executable inside your Frame environment, but can only onboard each executable once. What do you do? Luckily, there is a way to accomplish what you need, although it's a little more complex than may be apparent at first glance.
The basics of what you need to do is actually very simple - use multiple executables. Bear with me here. During the onboarding process of an application, Frame grabs pertinent information of the application, such as executable name, and provides this information to you on the Sandbox page of the Dashboard.
Onboarded Chrome Browser Settings
Once the application onboarding is complete, the onboarded application is simply an entry in the Frame control plane database and is not tied to the executable in the Sandbox. Its only purpose is to tie your desires as the administrator to how Frame uses the application.
What does this mean? Well, it means you can onboard an application unrelated to the browser, such as PowerShell. Once that application exists within Frame as an onboarded application, you can edit the application however you wish, including changing the executable being used. In the example below, the path to the Chrome executable is configured.
Onboarded PowerShell Settings
Alright, I understand, now what?
Now that we've broken down what needs to be done, let's talk about how to actually do what you are looking to do. While you could definitely find multiple executables, you won't be using and onboard them, changing them all to match the applications you need. This way is a little cumbersome and could potentially cause problems in the future.
So, what's the best way to do this? While you still need multiple executables, it doesn't have to be different applications. You can make multiple copies of the primary executable and onboard those executables. Then, once onboarded, you can delete the additional executables as you won't need them anymore.
Multiple Chrome Executables with Different Names
Now, from the Sandbox page on the Dashboard, you would just change each of the onboarded applications to match the primary executable location and file name (e.g,. Chrome), but have a different display name, icon (if desired) and parameters. The parameter modification is especially important, as that's how you distinguish the URL that opens Google Chrome specifically to the SaaS website, rather than a default.
Chrome Executable Settings with Defined URL
At this point, the executables that were created inside the Sandbox for onboarding purposes are no longer necessary and can be deleted.
What's Next?
In this blog, we covered a common ask by Frame customers, providing a way for their users to access SaaS applications through Frame. Next, we will be covering another image management technique used in customer environments to install per-user persistent applications in a non-persistent workload.

Comparative Assessment of SSAT and ISEE
Which is BetterISEE or SSAT?
SSAT school entrance exam and ISEE school entrance exam are the two most popular entrance examinations in the United States. Students and their parents, from all over the world, are often in doubt regarding which one the students should opt for, in order to secure admission in a good school of their choice. Hence, the students and their parents should understand that one of these school entrance examinations cannot be judged as better than the other because both have their respective merits and demerits, which are again based on individualistic judgement. The characteristics that may appear as merits for one individual may contribute to demerits as per another individual. However, by knowing the features of these tests, a student can decide upon the examination that is better for him/her in comparison to the other.
Which is Better - ISEE or SSAT?
As discussed earlier, it is not possible to generally declare the better examination between the two, as both of these school entrance examinations are designed for test takers with different requirements. However, a comparison of the two examinations is given below for one to decide upon which of these examinations will prove to be better than the other for his/her individualistic requirements:
 1. SSAT is to be taken by those seeking admission in 4th gradeBoth the examinations are available for those seeking admission in schools from the 5th grade - 12th grade. However, for those wanting to take admission in the 4th grade, SSAT is the only examination available.
 2. For facing fewer questions in the Mathematics section, the SSAT is betterSSAT has the Mathematics section in its Quantitative section. In ISEE, questions from Mathematics can be seen in both the Quantitative Reasoning and Mathematics sections. Hence, there are more Mathematics questions in the latter than in the former. If a student is not comfortable with answering Mathematics questions, he/she has to choose SSAT.
 3. Attempt ISEE for a more generalised Verbal sectionThe Verbal section in the ISEE is more generalized than it is in the SSAT, as it has Sentence Completion questions that need to be answered with answers that fit accurately in the sentences in the question, with respect to concept and grammar. The Verbal section of SSAT, on the other hand, tests one's ability to draw analogies. Hence, students good at analogical thinking can prefer SSAT.
 4. Essay section of SSAT allows a choice, for selection of essaysThe Essay section of SSAT gives you an opportunity to choose between a couple of given topics. Such a choice is not available with the ISEE essay section. Hence a student can choose SSAT, if he/she wants a choice in the essay section
 5. Fewer answering alternatives make ISEE an easier option - The SSAT presents 5 answering alternatives, whereas the ISEE presents only 4. ISEE is advantageous in this aspect since it is easier and less time consuming to arrive at the correct answer from fewer available choices. More answering alternatives implies, greater granularity in the alternatives, which makes it tougher for one to select a correct answer in comparison to questions that have fewer answering alternatives to choose from. Hence, one should opt for ISEE when there is a choice.
 6. Negative marking in SSAT makes it less favourable for test takers than ISEE - Both the tests have questions from a wide variety of topics. Hence, it is not easy for one to know the correct answer for each and every question given in the test. Negative marking for wrong answers makes a test tough. SSAT has negative marking for wrong answers, whereas ISEE does not. Hence, you should opt for SSAT only if you are conceptually very clear in the subject areas on which you will be tested.
 7. Test DatesSSAT has 3 types of test dates, the National Test Date, the Flex Test dates, and the Regional Flex Test dates from which one can choose the dates on which one wants to appear for the test. Most of the flexi dates of SSAT allow the student to take the SSAT only once a year. The ISEE, on the other hand, has only one testing date plan under which one can opt for taking the test. Moreover, a minimum of six months' time gap is prescribed for two subsequent attempts of the ISEE. In this aspect, one has to consider individual preferences in order to choose between the two.
Both the tests are mostly similar, though they differ in certain aspects. It is for the students and their parents to understand which of these examinations will be beneficial for them and choose the one that they feel better. For more information, please visit _URL_ and _URL_ respectively.

Muscle and Nerve Biopsies
The Neuromuscular Center at Phoenix Neurological Associates offers state of the art facilities for the performance and processing of muscle and nerve biopsies.
A biopsy is a surgical procedure in which one or more small pieces of muscle or nerve tissue are removed for further microscopic or biochemical examination. The procedure, often used in the diagnosis of a neuromuscular disorder, is considered "minor" surgery and can usually be performed using a local anesthetic. We are able to perform these biopsies in our Neuromuscular Center, so patients do not need to go to a hospital. The procedure takes less than an hour and patients can go home right after the biopsy.

Muscle Biopsy
A doctor is likely to call for a muscle biopsy after looking at preliminary blood tests, performing an electromyogram (EMG) and physical examination, and determining that the patient's symptoms indicate an underlying neuromuscular disorder. The muscle biopsy can help distinguish between muscular and neurological problems and can help pinpoint the exact neuromuscular disorder present.
The neuromuscular specialist selects a muscle, usually the biceps, triceps, deltoid or quadriceps muscle, that should yield the most information about the disease. Usually moderately affected muscles are chosen, the weakest muscles may already be too degraded for analysis. The procedure involves a 2-to-3-inch incision, which is then closed with stitches and may feel sore for a few days.
Nerve Biopsy
Most of the time, nerve disorders can be diagnosed without the need for a nerve biopsy. However, a nerve biopsy can be a necessary and valuable test in some patients, such as those suspected of having inflammation of their nerves. As is the case for muscle biopsies, nerve biopsy is an outpatient procedure that can be performed in our Neuromuscular Center.
Analyzing the Sample
All of the biopsies performed in our Neuromuscular Center are processed in our CLIA certified pathology laboratory. This means the samples do not have to be shipped to outside labs. Our highly trained technicians cut them into many thin sections for examination. Using different tests on different sections, we look at the tissue's overall appearance, chemical activities in the tissue, and the presence or absence of critical proteins. This analysis can yield information about muscle degeneration and regeneration, fiber type abnormalities mitrochondrial abnormalities, scar tissue, inflammation and other clues to specific disorders.The information these tests provide helps determine exactly what disease and what form of it the person has.
Finally, a DNA analysis can be performed on a muscle sample to detect a genetic mutation. Although a blood sample is usually adequate for a DNA test, a muscle sample may be needed to test for mitochondrial DNA mutations.
Your doctor may occasionally recommend a new biopsy even though you've had one in the past, especially if you've been given a tentative diagnosis or now suspect your diagnosis was incorrect. With many new muscle-protein antibodies now available for testing biopsy samples, as well as new understanding of mitochondrial disorders and new DNA tests, a new biopsy may be desirable.
Getting Results
The analysis of a muscle biopsy sample is a very tedious and labor-intensive process in which many sections of the muscle must be cut, many different types of procedures performed, and the results carefully analyzed. Our lab usually performs a few basic histology tests immediately after the biopsy and then, based on these results, determines what further tests should be conducted. The report is usually available within two weeks of the biopsy.


Layer and trigger issues
I have a layer (intro layer) with 3 characters with a trigger for each that sends them to separate layers (i.e. character 1 layer, character 2 layer, etc). Each character layer then sends them back to the intro layer when the layer timeline ends. After all 3 characters have been clicked and the character layers viewed I want a trigger to send it to intro layer2. The character layers can also be viewed in any order. How can I do this?

Hi Jennifer,
First, when you say "Intro Layer" are you referring to the base layer - the slide itself?
To achieve this you would probably take advantage of a few variables. If you're not comfortable with variables, don't worry...they're not that bad.
Here's one way to set it up. In order to indicate a user has visited each of the characters you may want to add some sort of visual cue.
 1. Add something like a 'checkmark' to the Visited State of each Character.
 2. Set the base slide properties to "Resume Saved State."
 3. On each of the character layers, set a trigger to Hide This Layer when timeline ends. This will go back to base slide.
 4. Since the user clicked a character it is now in a visited state. So when step #3 completes and hides that layer, the added checkmark to that character should now be visible - Visited.
To jump to your second intro layer, you can add a fourth layer to this slide or jump to a new slide altogether.
 1. Set a Slide Trigger on base slide that Jumps To Slide # - or - Show Layer [fourth layer] > when > character1 AND character2 AND character3 are in a Visited state.
Caution here on that last trigger because it will auto jump to that fourth layer or slide 'before' seeing that final character's Visited state - checkmark. You might want to consider adding a button to the base slide set to Hidden initially. Then change the state of that button when all three character's Visited states are present. Then add a trigger to that button that shows the fourth layer or jumps to the next slide.
Good luck and hope this helps!
Jennifer Jefts
Hi Kevin,
The "intro layer" is not the base layer. I have base layer that I don't want involved in this interaction - it is a created lightbox interaction. i haven't had a chance to try your scenario, but it will it work since the intro layer is not the base layer?

SERIES 31 | Episode 07
As an avid produce gardener, Josh knows that all harvested homegrown edibles need a good wash, not just to remove soil, but also to get rid of any hitch-hiking critters and soil-borne pathogens before they end up on your plate! So, to make the most of the gardens most precious resource – water – Josh has designed a compost sink, a portable washing station that not only allows him to wash his vegies, but also wet his compost down at the same time.
- Framed weld mesh (size to suit compost bay)
- Old kitchen sink (sourced from local resource/recycling centre)
- Permanent marker
- Side cutters
- 4 x external angle brackets (to hold sink over compost bay)
- PVC elbow (to fit kitchen sink)
- Small length of50mm slotted agi pipe
- PVC to agi pipe connector
- End cap for agi pipe (plastic)
- 1. Lay weld mesh on a flat surface (eg: ground) and place kitchen sink face-down on top.
- 2. Position sink where appropriate for your requirements and use permanent marker to draw around outline of sink. These marks will show you where to cut, so that your sink will nest into the weld mesh.
- 3. Using side cutters, snip the weld mesh where marked to produce 'hole' for the sink to nest within.
- 4. Nest kitchen sink into weld mesh, and place over compost bay, and mark appropriate points on compost bay for brackets to hold mesh.
- 5. Using appropriate external screws, attach brackets to compost bay.
- 6. Attach PVC elbow to sink outflow, and attach agi pipe. (This allows the water to be distributed over a larger surface area of the compost bay, rather than concentrated in one spot.)
- 7. Position mesh on brackets over compost bay and place sink, ensuring the agi pipe is placed evenly over compost surface.
- 8. Get harvesting and get washing!

Explanation of the basic parameters to configure a downlight, example deployable to any non-fluorescent lighting fixture, connected to a single phase power system with a voltage of 230V.
On the Autodesk WikiHelp page there is an explanation for each parameter seen in the video above. It is a good starting point to understand these type of connectors.
The spaces generated in the model can not be removed by deleting them from the view you are working, they still remain in the model. The way to do it is through the tables, in the next video we do this exercise:
The spaces must have well defined boundaries to provide the information without any error. The parameter "room bounding" is a parameter that should have activated all the elements that can define a space limit (pillars, ceiling plates, etc).
Despite being a parameter "associated" to architecture, it is important to know its functionality, for his successful activation will cause polymer fume a correct analysis of thermal loads.
Attached video explaining how to use the "space tool" and focused on the limitation of "offset".

Why does this line in a ResourceDictionary not result in a compile-error?
 SomePath
My understanding was that this would result in an instance of ImageSource being created using the default ctor. This would be followed by setting all the specified properties.
However ImageSource is an abstract class - so why doesn't this result in a compile error?
share|improve this question
Great question, look forward to someone answering this. – Blounty Nov 7 '10 at 7:26
I don't know the answer, but my guess is that the resource manager knows the concrete type of each resource. It creates an instance of the resource specified and only if it did not derive from ImageSource would a run-time exception occur. – Tergiver Nov 7 '10 at 7:29

Try this bit of XAML:
BlogHeader.jpg

It compiles just fine, but when you run it you get a runtime XamlParseException:
Cannot convert the value in attribute 'Source' to object of type 'System.Windows.Media.ImageSource'.
If you try using a simple type instead of Window, for example:
public class SomeType
You will get a compile-time error:
The Element type 'WpfApplication1.SomeClass' does not have an associated TypeConverter to parse the string 'BlogHeader.jpg'
So the answer lies in the TypeConverter provided by ImageSource which is ImageSourceConverter. The magic happens in ImageSourceConverter.ConvertFrom which takes a string, creates an Uri from it, and uses BitmapFrame.Create to create a BitmapFrame which is derived from ImageSource.
Note that I used Window in the first example only to use a type that provides a type converter from a string.

TypeConverters are used to convert a string representation of a value to the specific type required by a property. The above explanation accounts for the Image.Source property... My question was about the ImageSource tag - i.e. creating an instance of an abstract class (to be stored as a resource) - how is it able to create an instance of an ImageSource so that it can proceed with setting the specified properties? – Gishu Nov 8 '10 at 8:27
It does explain it. The Image.Source propery is only there to make sure it gets instantiated. It's gets created through ImageSourceConverter.ConvertFrom just as I explained. I'm not making it up, I followed the source trail. – Tergiver Nov 8 '10 at 13:41
Btw, I provided the two examples and their exception/error messages only to show the path that led me to discovering how it worked. I don't think that is clear in the text. – Tergiver Nov 8 '10 at 15:41
_USER_: Tergiver is correct. TypeConverters can be associated with classes and properties, if there is a type converter associated with an abstract class and the parser encounters the type in XAML that type converter will be used to create a concrete instance. – H.B. Jan 29 '12 at 5:44
