In the Republic of Estonia, the Ministry of Defence and the Minister of Defence as its head are responsible for organising national defence.
In general, the functions of the Ministry include making proposals for planning national defence politics, implementing the planned activities, and the organisation of national defence, which comprises the following:
- to determine the overall guidelines for national defence
- to organise international co-operation in the sphere of national defence
- to arrange the preparation and implementation of mobilisation
- to implement the subsequent record management and training of reservists
- to arrange and finance the activities of the Defence Forces and the Defence League
- to develop the defence industry
- to supervise the activities of the Defence Forces and the Defence League
- to draft subsequent legislation
Structure-wise, the Ministry of Defence is divided into areas of responsibility of three Deputy Undersecretaries.
Figuratively speaking, it can be said that the departments, subordinate to the Deputy Undersecretary for Defence Policy, are developing the vision of the future of Estonian national defence; the area of responsibility of the Deputy Undersecretary for Defence Planning will 'translate' the vision into the language of capabilities and budget. The departments that are subordinate to the Deputy Undersecretary for Legal and Administrative Affairs will support all the processes, which take place within the Ministry. The Ministry shall co-ordinate its activities with the Defence Forces and other divisions and the sub-office concerned at the decision-making stage.
The Ministry's area of responsibility includes:
- the Defence Forces
- the Centre for Defence Investments
- the Defence Resources Agency, which organises recruitment and conscription issues
- the Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service
- the educational institutions of the Defence Forces; the Estonian War Museum - General Laidoner Museum, which showcases military history
- Seli Health Centre, which provides rehabilitation services to military personnel.
The authority of the Minister includes supervision over all the divisions and offices for the purposes of lawfulness and expedience.


- Access Audits in London and the South East
 Equality Act 2010 and the Building Regulations 2010
 I carry out Access Audits across the built environment including commercial workplace / offices, hotels / leisure, large scale events spaces, colleges, schools, churches, parks, historic listed buildings and I can assist with National Lottery Heritage Fund applications.
 I have carried out access audits for Haringey Council to help them successfully secure funding through the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). Lordship Recreation Ground was awarded in excess of £4 million in Heritage Grants and Markfield Park was awarded in excess of £1.5 million.
 How can I help you?
 - Level 1: Access Audit
 A Level 1: Access Audit is a low cost service which will provide you with a concise, text only summary of key recommendations for improvements to inclusivity and accessibility.
 This low cost service will provide you with an overview of the accessibility of the external environment, building/s and the services you provide. I will walk around your premises with you, talking through any access issues which may arise. A short written summary of our discussions will then be prepared. You are very welcome to take your own detailed notes during the audit.
 Level 2: Access Audit
 A Level 2: Access Audit is a detailed photographic report and is useful if you require comprehensive recommendations backed up by current design guidance in the Building Regulations.
 All recommendations will be cross referenced where relevant against current design criteria, including Approved Document K: Protection from falling, collision and impact, Approved Document M: Access to and use of buildings, the BS 8300: 2018 Codes of practice and any other relevant design guidance. Category or priority ratings will also be provided if required.
 A Level 2: Access Audit will help inform design considerations for future refurbishment and building works.
 - Access Audits
 An Access Audit (sometimes referred to as a DDA audit) assesses the current status of a building, environment and the way services are provided against good practice standards to benchmark the ease of accessibility, primarily for disabled people. However, well designed inclusive and accessible environments are beneficial for everyone.
 As I write all Access Audits myself, I ensure that they are clearly written in plain English and that any technical terms are clearly explained.
 How does it work?
 I will visit your building at a suitable time and carry out an inspection starting from the outside and then working through the interior. The Access Audit will assess how inclusive and accessible the environment is for everyone.
 The Access Audit will provide comments on any barriers to access which may prevent a disabled person from being able to use the environment and services. I will provide practical recommendations to improve access including any 'reasonable adjustments' you may need to consider in relation to the Equality Act 2010 (the Disability Discrimination Act – DDA has been absorbed into the Equality Act 2010). A 'reasonable adjustment' can be something as simple as changing a policy and does not necessarily require you to make expensive physical changes.
 The Access Audit will be comprehensive and will include the following key areas;
 The external environment
 Any on site car parking
 Entrance doors
 Lobby areas
 Reception points
 Toilet facilities
 Internal doors
 Communication systems
 Controls / switches
 Colour / visual contrast
 Wayfinding and signage
 Emergency means of escape
 Management Policies & Practices
 Staff Awareness
 Following the Access Audit survey, I will prepare your report for you to incorporate in an Access Plan or Access Strategy for the future.

Stream.Dispose Method (Boolean)
Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Stream and optionally releases the managed resources.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
You should release all resources by specifying true for disposing. When disposing is true, the stream can also ensure data is flushed to the underlying buffer, and access other finalizable objects. This may not be possible when called from a finalizer due a lack of ordering among finalizers.
If your stream is using an operating system handle to communicate with its source, consider using a subclass of SafeHandle for this purpose.
This method is called by the public Dispose method and the Finalize method. Dispose invokes the protected Dispose method with the disposing parameter set to true. Finalize invokes Dispose with disposing set to false.Notes to Inheritors
Dispose can be called multiple times by other objects. When overriding Dispose, be careful not to reference objects that have been previously disposed of in an earlier call to Dispose. For more information about how to implement Dispose, see Implementing a Dispose Method.

PedobarographyAt CuraFoot Clinic our experts measure foot pressure and how it is distributed across the bottom of the foot. This allows us to identify appropriate solutions for foot dysfunction.
Devices fall into two main categories: (i) floor-based, and (ii) in-shoe. The underlying technology is diverse, ranging from piezoelectric sensor arrays to light refraction, but the ultimate form of the data generated by all modern technologies is either a 2D image or a 2D image time series of the pressures acting under the plantar surface of the foot.
Pedobarography is also used in a variety of other clinical situations including: diabetic foot, post-surgery biomechanical assessment and orthotics design. In addition to clinical applications, Pedobarography continues to be used in the laboratory to understand the mechanisms governing human gait and posture.

Kalanga rock art, Zimbabwe
This art tradition is painted using the finger and in white. It found at a number of rock art sites in and around the Matobo Hills of Zimbabwe.
Like most other rock arts of Bantu-language speakers this art was made for mnemonic purposes during an initiation ceremony, in this case a boy's initiation ceremony.
Each image was a symbol that could be recognised only by the initiated. Outsiders could see the painted subjects such as giraffe and elephant, but they could not penetrate the secret symbolic meanings and teachings encoded in the subjects.

Development of the Concept of Car key Fobs
The concept of car key fobs appears to be pretty straightforward. But as you start to delve deeper, you will notice that there is much technological complications and procedures that ultimately result in the proper functioning of the car key fob. If you are not aware of the technology behind the making of the key fobs, you won't be able to realize how important it is to keep the keys intact. Again, if you want to understand the mechanism of working of these key fobs, you have to know the mode of operation of the objects. You will be surprised to hear that the technology working behind the functional key fob has its original design for opening the garage doors.
The basic device
Long back in the 1960s, the key fobs were in use for opening and closing the garage doors. The working principle was simple. There was a tiny radio transmitter that would send the signal to a small receiver in the garage space. The entire concept depended on a single transmission. The popularity of the key fobs kept on increasing. But the problem was, all the receivers would respond to the same signal. So the chief problem was, you could open the door of the garage of your neighbor too as the automatic response of the receiver.
Broadcasting individual signals
Now the problem became significant as there was no privacy or security. One lost key can imply that all the cars in the neighborhood's garages will be at risk. When it comes to using the same mechanism on the cars, the single signal transmissions could not be the best way out. So the various manufacturers, including began experimenting in trying to broadcast a single signal which will be unique for a lock. The manufacturers began to come up with innovative technology for broadcasting different signals for different vehicles.

This is for all that are interested in classical groups and their representations. We are investigating the following situation:
Let $V$ be $d$-dimensional $k$-vector space (where $k$ is a finite field) equipped with a non-degenerate quadratic form $Q$, so that $V$ is an orthogonal space. Let $GO$ be the group of similarities (which are a bit more general than isometries; we use the language of Kleidman's and Liebeck's book 'The Subgroup Structure of the Finite Classical Groups') and fix $g_1,g_2\in GO$. Suppose we have the following setting:
There are non-degenerate subspaces $U_i$ which are irreducible as $\langle g_i\rangle$-modules and which have large dimension $e_i>d/2$ for $i=1,2$. (we call $g_i$ 'fat' in this case, a generalization of ppd-elements as described in A. Niemeyer and C. Praeger 'A recognition algorithm for classical groups over finite fields'; our project actually deals with finding the proportions of such elements within the classical groups)
What we are interested in here is a third subspace:
Let $W$ be an irreducible $\langle g_1,g_2\rangle$-module which intersects trivially with $U_i$ and assume that $W$ is totally singular i.e. $Q_W=0$. Is it possible that $W$ - as a subspace of $U_i^{\perp}$ - is maximal totally singular in $U_1^{\perp}$ or $U_2^{\perp}$, which is means that the dimension of $W$ equals the Witt index of $U_i^{\perp}$?
We can control the case where $W$ is non-degenerate or generated by a non-singular element $v$ (i.e. $Q(v)\neq 0$). The bad guys are such $W$ as above, as the group $\Omega\le GO$ as described in (Kleidman and Liebeck) does not act transitvely on maximal totally singular subspaces in general. The best result would be if such subspaces cannot exist in the above setting.
P.S. For simplicity we could assume that the characteristic of $k$ is odd.

I am confused. First you say that $W$ intersects trivially with $U_i$, then you talk about $W$ being a subspace of $U_i$! – Derek Holt May 4 '12 at 22:19
_USER_, you are absolutely right, $W$ is a subspace of $U_i^{\perp} - sorry for that. – Natalie May 6 '12 at 21:17

King Caesar
Godzilla film series character
First appearance Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
Last appearance Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)
Created by Jun Fukuda

Motokuni Nakagawa
King Caesar (キングシーサー Kingu Shīsā?) is a kaiju who first appeared in Toho's 1974 film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.[1]
Shisa statue.
King Caesar's name and appearance are based on Shisa, which are artistically embellished stone lion statues common in Okinawa, where the film Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla took place. They are an Okinawan variation on the Chinese guardian lion (石獅; Shishi, meaning "Stone Lion"), which in turn originates from Buddhist tradition in India, where lions are native. Shisa only loosely resemble actual lions on account of being based on second-hand descriptions by people who'd never seen one in person.[2] In the 1970s, general East Asian folklore were relatively unknown to Western audiences, which resulted in the translators interpreting name "Shisa" to be a Japanization of the name "Caesar".[citation needed] Toho has since trademarked it, making "King Caesar" the character's official English name.[citation needed]
Overview and development[edit]
King Caesar's character concept was inspired by a traditional Okinawan folk tale in which a Shisa protects a village from a rampaging dragon.[citation needed] This myth is referenced in the character's introductory film, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, in which the titular Mechagodzilla plays the role of the evil "dragon".[citation needed] It is portrayed as a loyal and powerful protector of mankind, in reference to the role Shisa play in Okinawan tradition.[citation needed] Character profiles in supporting media describe the monster as standing 50 meters (164 feet)-100 meters (328 feet) tall and weighing 30,000 metric tons (33,069 short tons)-50,000 metric tons (55,115 short tons).[citation needed] King Caesar is shown to be swift and athletic. It can also draw an enemy's energy weapons into its eyes and reflect them back with ten times the force [3] and empower itself with solar energy.[citation needed]
Along with fellow 1970s Showa era monster Gigan, King Caesar is the favourite monster of director Ryuhei Kitamura, which led to the character's inclusion in the film Godzilla: Final Wars. [4] listed King Ceaser as #6 on their "Top 10 Godzilla Villains" list.

Superconducting scanning tunneling microscopy tips in a magnetic field: Geometry-controlled order of the phase transition
The properties of geometrically confined superconductors significantly differ from their bulk counterparts. Here, we demonstrate the geometrical impact for superconducting scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) tips, where the confinement ranges from the atomic to the mesoscopic scale. To this end, we compare the experimentally determined magnetic field dependence for several vanadium tips to microscopic calculations based on the Usadel equation. For our theoretical model of a superconducting cone, we find a direct correlation between the geometry and the order of the superconducting phase transition. Increasing the opening angle of the cone changes the phase transition from first to second order. Comparing our experimental findings to the theory reveals first and second order quantum phase transitions in the vanadium STM tips. In addition, the theory also explains experimentally observed broadening effects by the specific tip geometry. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

AWNN))-ADD is called as EMD-AWNN-ADD.
A brief comparative root-mean-squared error (RMSE) analysis of the OERNN-BPP technique under varying time duration takes place in Table 3 and Fig. 6. The value of RMSE tends to be minimal for better prediction outcomes. The figure reported that the AWNN technique has appeared as the poor performer with the higher RMSE values. Followed by, the ARIMA model has gained slightly enhanced RMSE value over the AWNN technique whereas the GWO based LSTM-RNN technique has demonstrated moderately RMSE value. In line with, the AION technique has exhibited reasonably reduced RMSE value. However, the proposed OERNN-BPP technique is found to be efficient with the minimum RMSE values under varying time duration.

A detailed comparative MAPE analysis of the OERNN-BPP approach under varying time duration take place in Table 4 and Fig. 7. The value of MAPE tends to be lower for better prediction result. The figure stated that the AWNN manner has demonstrated as the least performer with the maximum MAPE values. Besides, the ARIMA approach has attained some what improved MAPE value over the AWNN technique where as the GWO based LSTM-RNN technique has demonstrated moderately MAPE value. Similarly, the AION method has exhibited reasonably lower MAPE value. However, the proposed OERNN-BPP methodology is established to effectual with the decreased MAPE value sunder varying time duration.

Finally, a CT analysis of the OERNN-BPP technique with existing techniques is made in Table 5 and Fig. 8. The experimental results highlighted that the GFMP technique has offered worse outcomes with the least CT of 1853.391. Besides, the EMD-LSTM-ELM and EMD-(GWO-LSTM-RNN + AWNN) techniques have tried to show moderate outcomes with the CT of2101.430 and 2356.358 respectively. However, the proposed OERNN-BPP technique has resulted in superior outcomes with a maximum CT of 3145.152. From the detailed result analysis, it is ensured that the OERNN-BPP technique is found to be an effective tool to predict bio fuel productivity.

Conclusion
In this study, a new OERNN-BPP technique has been presented to predict the productivity of bio fuels. The OERNN-BPP technique encompasses four major processors namely EMD based processing, FTC based reconstruction, ERNN based prediction, and PO based hyper parameter optimization. Once the input data is pre-processed and reconstructed, the actual prediction process is carried out by the use of ERNN model. Moreover, the hyper parameters of the ERNN model namely learning rate, batch size, momentum, and weight decay are optimally adjusted by the use of PO and thereby raise the predictive outcome to a maximum extent. A thorough simulation analysis is conducted in order to show how the OERNN-BPP technique has improved, and the findings are examined from several angles. The testing results showed that the OERNN-BPP technique outperformed recently published predictive models of biofuel production. It shows that, the EMD-LSTM-ELM and EMD-(GWO-LSTM-RNN + AWNN) techniques have tried to show moderate outcomes with the CT of2101.430 and 2356.358 respectively. However, the proposed OERNN-BPP technique has resulted in superior outcomes with a maximum CT of 3145.152. Advanced hybrid deep learning architectures may be presented in the future to improve the predicted outcome.

A Verso roundtable on Ariella Aïsha Azoulay's Potential History, discussing imperial knowledge, history, art, the possibility of repairing devastated worlds, and above all: what can a radical practice of history look like?
In The Invention of Sicily, Jamie Mackay offers a sweeping history of Sicily from ancient times to the present day. Mackay presents Sicily's history as one of an autonomous community fighting for liberation against their oppressors.
The development of distinctive property forms in English agriculture entailed new forms of class struggle. If we want to sum up the ways in which class struggle between landlords and peasants 'liberated' capitalism, it might be closer to the truth to say that capitalism was advanced by the assertion of the landlords' powers against the peasants' claims to customary rights.

How To Delete A Domain
Want to get rid of a domain, forever? No problem just keep in mind that once it's deleted, you may not be able to re-register it in the future. Any associated web or email hosting at Porkbun and all associated files and emails will be permanently deleted.
How to make a domain go away forever:
- Log in. You should arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select Domain Management.
- Identify the domain you wish to delete and click the Details drop-down list next to the domain. Then, select "Submit Request" next to the Delete Domain section.
- On the Delete Domain popup screen, type the name of the domain to confirm that you wish to delete it. The domain name must match the one you wish to delete and should not include "www" or any other information. Once you've typed it in, click "Submit."
- As a final step, check your email for a message with a subject header that contains the phrase "Domain Deletion Verification." Open the message and click the link labelled "CONFIRM DELETION."
Your domain is now deleted.
Don't Miss: Where Is My Domain Pointing
Move Groups To Another Domain
Select the group name, and then on the General tab under Email address, Primary, select Edit.
Use the drop-down list to choose another domain.
Select Save, then Close. Repeat this process for any groups or distribution lists associated with the domain that you want to remove.
How To Unregister A Domain Name
When you register a domain name, the name is typically tied to you for at least one year. The most common way of letting a domain expire is by choosing to not renew it. However, if you want to be rid of the domain name immediately, you can generally do so through the domain registrar. Most registrars permit customers to be unattached to their domain name, although some registers may require a fee.
Visit the domain registrar you registered the domain with. Log in to your account. If you are unsure of your login information, most registrars include a "Forgot Username/Password" link underneath the sign-in box. Click "My Products" if your list of registered domains does not automatically appear.
Look for a "Delete" button on the same page that lists your domains. If you see one, it should appear greyed out. A check box likely appears next to each domain name. Click the check box next to the domain you wish to delete, then click the "Delete" button. A warning box will pop up, asking you to confirm your decision. If you do not see a "Delete" button, click the domain name link itself. If a "Delete" button still does not appear, then you must request a domain deletion through the registrar's technical support. Include your name, the domain name you wish to unregister and the reasons why when you contact the support team.

Set The Primary Domain Name For Your Azure Ad Organization
When your organization is created, the initial domain name, such as âcontoso.onmicrosoft.com,â is also the primary domain name. The primary domain is the default domain name for a new user when you create a new user. Setting a primary domain name streamlines the process for an administrator to create new users in the portal. To change the primary domain name:
Sign in to the Azure portal with an account that's a Global Administrator for the organization.
Select Azure Active Directory.
Select the name of the domain that you want to be the primary domain.
Select the Make primary command. Confirm your choice when prompted.
You can change the primary domain name for your organization to be any verified custom domain that isn't federated. Changing the primary domain for your organization won't change the user name for any existing users.
Remove A Custom Domain
If you are canceling your subscription and you use a custom domain, there are a few extra steps that you must do before you can cancel your subscription.
Change your domain nameserver records
If you set up a custom domain, you added DNS records so the domain would work with Microsoft 365 services. Before you remove your domain, be sure to update the DNS records, such as your domain MX record, at your DNS host.
For example, change the MX record at your DNS host. Email sent to your domain stops coming to your Microsoft address and goes to your new email provider instead.
If your nameserver records are pointing to Microsoft 365 nameservers, changes to your MX record don't take effect until you change your NS records to point to your new DNS host .
Before you update the MX record, let your users know the date you plan to switch their email, and the new email provider you plan to use. Also, if your users want to move their existing Microsoft email to the new provider, they must take extra steps.
Update your domain MX and other DNS records
If you switched your nameserver records to Microsoft 365 when you set up your domain, you must set up or update your MX record and other DNS records at the DNS host you plan to use, and then change your NS record to that DNS host.
To change your NS records, see Change nameservers to set up Microsoft 365 with any domain registrar.

Champion of England
A person whose office it is to ride up Westminster Hall on a Coronation Day, and challenge any one who disputes the right of succession. The office was established by William the Conqueror, and was given to Marmion and his male descendants, with the manor of "broad Scrivelsby." De Ludlow received the office and manor through the female line; and in the reign of Richard II. Sir John Dymoke succeeded through the female line also. Since then the office has continued in the Dymoke family.

UK Government Voice Encryption Standard Built for Key Escrow, Surveillance
"MIKEY supports EDH but MIKEY-SAKKE works in a way much closer to email encryption. The initiator of a call generates key material, uses SAKKE to encrypt it to the other communication partner (responder), and sends this message to the responder during the set-up of the call. However, SAKKE does not require that the initiator discover the responder's public key because it uses identity-based encryption (IBE)," Dr. Steven Murdoch of University College London's Department of Computer Science, wrote in a new analysis of the security of the Secure Chorus standard.
"In conventional public key systems each party generates their own private key and distributes their public key to anyone who needs it but in an IBE system, all private keys are generated by the network provider from their master private key."
"Secure Chorus facilitates undetectable mass surveillance."
That master key needs to be permanently available so that users can access it, making it a natural target for attackers. But the bigger issue is that it would enable network providers to decrypt calls.
"The existence of a master private key that can decrypt all calls past and present without detection, on a computer permanently available, creates a huge security risk, and an irresistible target for attackers. Also calls which cross different network providers (e.g. between different companies) would be decrypted at a gateway computer, creating another location where calls could be eavesdropped," Murdoch wrote.
Like many other countries, the U.K. has been in the throes of a public and private debate over Internet and phone surveillance since the start of the Edward Snowden revelations several years ago. The surveillance programs revealed by the Snowden have included many run by the GCHQ and NSA, some jointly, some separately. U.K. officials have been discussing the possibility recently of banning or severely restricting strong encryption.
The Secure Chorus standard is in use for some government and intelligence communications in the U.K. now and the GCHQ could use its authority to mandate its use in the public sector and some critical infrastructure organizations, as well. The agency has a program called Commercial Product Assessment to certify encryption products for use in classified government applications, and it has said it will certify only products that implement Secure Chorus.
All of which does not bode well for the security of users' voice communications.
"Although the words are never used in the specification, MIKEY-SAKKE supports key escrow. That is, if the network provider is served with a warrant or is hacked into it is possible to recover responder private keys and so decrypt past calls without the legitimate communication partners being able to detect this happening," Murdoch wrote in his analysis.
"Secure Chorus facilitates undetectable mass surveillance, in a way that EDH based key encryption schemes would not. This is presented as a feature rather than bug, with the motivating case in the GCHQ documentation being to allow companies to listen to their employees calls when investigating misconduct, such as in the financial industry."
The way that the standard is designed, there's no good way to implement it without the key escrow mechanism, Murdoch said.
"By design there is always a third party who generates and distributes the private keys for all users. This third party therefore always has the ability to decrypt conversations which are encrypted using these private keys," Murdoch said by email.
He added that the design of Secure Chorus "is not an accident." There are existing protocols, such as ZRTP, that can accomplish the security tasks Secure Chorus is supposed to, but without the backdoor access of key escrow. However, GCHQ has eschewed those in favor of its own design.
"The claim that GCHQ make is that existing protocols do not support the necessary "scale and usability requirements" but this does not sound plausible to me. The only explanation that I think remains is that GCHQ want people to use encryption systems which permit undetectable mass surveillance," Murdoch said by email.

Teacher Education Network
Teacher education is seen internationally as a key lever in improving pupil outcomes, and, ultimately, enhancing nation states' competitiveness on the global stage. The current global meta-narrative pronounces that 'teachers matter' and that it is not just more teachers but quality teachers that are required.
Recognising education as having transformative capacity focuses on the importance of teachers, highlighting the need for teachers who not only have high-level knowledge and skills, but who also have the dispositions and the social and political awareness to carry their responsibilities wisely. Thus, teacher education has never been more important, and yet it rarely attracts large-scale funding and is often accused of lacking a coherent, theoretically informed literature base
The Scottish Government investment in the 'Measuring Quality in ITE' (MQuITE) project – a collaborative, longitudinal study of teacher education quality in Scotland – has facilitated significant cross-Scotland momentum in developing a theoretically-informed empirical evidence base. Therefore, this SERA network seeks to build on this momentum and provide a forum for further consolidating and extending this collaborative effort to build research and enhance practice within teacher education.
TEN welcomes membership from researchers (established academics and research students), research users (GTCS, Education Scotland/SCEL, RICs, Scottish Government) and practitioners. Anyone interested in joining the network should contact the network convenors.

Network activities for coming year
- Establish TEN aims and communication strategy and share on SERA website.
- Develop membership of TEN by hosting local discussion events in the north, east and west of Scotland
- Launch network meeting and symposium at the SERA 2019 conference
- Hold one national seminar


text: A sample set of registered perennial ryegrass varieties was used to compare how morphological characterisation and AFLP(R)(1) and STS molecular markers described variety relationships. All the varieties were confirmed as morphologically distinct, and both the STS and AFLP markers exposed sufficient genetic diversity to differentiate these registered ryegrass varieties. Distances obtained by each of the approaches were compared, with special attention given to the coincidences and divergences between the methods. When correlations between morphological, AFLP and STS distances were calculated and the corresponding scatter-plots constructed, the variety relationships appeared to be rather inconsistent across the methods, especially between morphology and the molecular markers. However, some consistencies were found for closely related material. An implication could be that these molecular-marker techniques, while not yet suited to certain operations in the traditional registration of new varieties, could be suitable methods for investigating disputable distinctness situations or possible EDV2 relationships, subject to establishing standardised protocols and statistical techniques. Some suggestions for such a protocol, including a statistical test for distinctness, are given.

3 Tips For Making Your GDPR Messaging Accessible
GDPR ADA ComplianceMay 25, 2018 was the day GDPR went into full effect. For some companies, the impact of GDPR is non-existent or minimal. Other companies are blocking European visitors until they figure out how to comply, but most are assessing the risk and making appropriate changes where they can.
If you are in the third group, you are likely creating popups and modals to speak to customers about your recent privacy policy changes, how you use cookies and/or general information about GDPR and your business.
While only your legal and compliance folks should advise you on WHAT you should say in the pop-up, it is important to consider HOW you present this information on your website if your site is WCAG 2.0 Level AA conformant.
Presenting GDPR Information in a Pop-Up or Modal
Many businesses are adding this information in a pop-up or modal, which can be troublesome for persons with disabilities if not properly coded. GDPR states that such alerts need to appear on the site without the user doing something first. Access these developer tips to support ADA best practice coding:
1. Label buttons so screen readers can make sense of them.
Is the 'x' in your popup unlabeled? Then how would a blind person know that it closes the pop-up? By adding the code in yellow below, this will ensure that persons with disabilities can understand the action. If the button text is not descriptive enough to convey what clicking it will do, for example if it is an image, icon, or 'X', use the aria-label attribute to provide additional information to a screen reader.
GDPR ADA Dialog Modal Code X
2. Make sure the modal gets focus!
When you pop up a modal, if you don't assign focus, the keyboard user may never get to it and make it disappear with their next tab, or worse, be confined to purgatory in the grayed-out web-page behind the modal.
In the case of a modal or other dialogue that appears over the page, focus should be sent to the element. Set the tabindex attribute of the containing element to -1 to make it focusable, then set focus on it using JavaScript when it is shown.
GDPR ADA jQuery Example //after modal is shown $("_TAG_").focus();
3. Give your Pop-up a heading
Headings convey structure and they give another anchor for screen readers to lock on to. The pop-up dialog should have an appropriate heading. Give the heading an ID and use the aria-labelledby attribute on the dialog container to inform the screen reader this serves as the label/title for the dialog.
 Our Privacy Policy
Additionally, adding role="dialog" helps inform assistive technology of the purpose of this content and separate from the rest of the page.
As always, consult with your developer or digital agency to provide guidance on your specific website and ADA conformance needs.

The Bakota are an important ethnic group whose principal location is the northeast of the country of Gabon in Central Africa. They call their language iKota. They are also known as Kota, Kuta, and iKuta. Their neighbors, the Fang, call them Mekora. Because the Bakota are organized along patriarchal lines, they have developed many subgroups based on various patriarchies. Thus, one can find Menzambi, Bougom, Sake, Ikota-la-hua, and Ndambomo people who will say they are also Bakota. In effect, these are subclans with their own particular style and accent of speaking the iKota language. The meaning of the term Bakota is controversial, but it seems likely that the idea of bonding is central to the meaning in the iKota language; this is in line with much of the thinking in African philosophy. When people come together in family, they are bonded in one way or another. It might be consanguine...


60 Series or 350 Series Trap Error
60 Series or 350 Series Trap Error
Postby gseadmin » Wed Apr 08, 2009 7:23 am
What do you do if there is a TRAP error on the indicator?
Re: 60 Series or 350 Series Trap Error
Postby gseadmin » Wed Apr 08, 2009 7:24 am
First check to see if the trap error always has the same error code (6 character alpha-numeric code).
a) If the trap error code is constant, please send the indicator in for repair. There is a hardware issue. Usually, the EPROM needs to be replaced.
b) On a 60 series: If the trap error code occurs on power up AND there is a database, then
* Power down the indicator. Press PRINT and UNITS together on power up. Go into setup. Then go to P65001 and default the indicator. Then reload
your program and database.
* If the trap error still is occuring and you have a database card installed, then power down the indicator. Take out the database card. If the trap error
goes away, the problem could be in the database try. Try to default the database card at P65010. Or replace the database card.
c) If the trap error code changes (A different number each time), then the processor is "freezing" due to some type of external influence. This can include, but is not limited to:
* Electrostatic discharge (ESD): I.e.: a highly static-prone material filling into a poorly grounded scale. Ensure your scale is grounded correctly.
* Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): I.e: A nearby high-inductance motor
* Radio Frequency Interference (RFI): I.e.: A nearby high powered radio transmitter such as a CB. This can influence a poorly shielded load cell or scale. Make sure to terminate any unused conductors so they don't act as an antenna
* Power Fluctuations: I.e. brown-out, voltage spike, etc.

Recently, someone shared with me that their boyfriend avoids gluten because it makes him feel quite sleepy after a lot of pasta. Unfortunately, that's a good example of a leap to a conclusion that may not be the true problem, too many carbohydrates at one time, whether they contain gluten or not, can sometimes make people feel sleepy or have cravings for sweets due to either an elevated insulin or blood sugar level.

Nonwovens are an important component of different products of several uses, e.g. transport of humidity in sanitary products, insulation materials or filters. Nonwovens are usually produced on large engineering facilities. For this, experimental studies of design with regard to the optimization of these nonwoven-structures prove to be very difficult.
Influence Design Parameters
There are so many parameters of design, as for example fibers, surface weight or type of nonwoven bonding and finishing that are affecting the properties of nonwovens. For the change of one single parameter, e.g. the material of fiber, it is necessary to adapt the whole process of fabrication from the spinning of the fibers via their stacking to the nonwoven hardening.
Following the production of such a prototype a time consuming and cost-intensive characterization of the properties of nonwovens carried out experimentally has to be done. Therefore, for this reason detailed studies considering several parameters of design are uneconomic.

I was given an explanation that birds and reptiles are polyspermic because they have an abundant yolk sac. But how does it explain the thing?
Chicken as an adult is not using in my opinion yolk as an energy source. Yolk is used during embryogenesis as the primary energy source with blastula and gastrula -stages and during organogenesis, since the embryo needs proteins and energy somewhere.
How does abundant yolk sac make birds and reptiles polyspermic?

Dacogen, (There may be other brand names for this medication)
How is it Administered?
Your medicine will be given by injection into a vein, usually in your arm, wrist, hand or chest. Infusions generally last between 1-3 hours.
What is it Used For?
This drug is used to treat myelodysplastic syndromes – certain types of blood or bone marrow cancer.
How Does it Work?
Decitabine belongs to two classes of medications, meaning it seems to work in two ways. First, it is a demethylating agent. Demethylation restores normal function to tumor suppressing genes, which can then re-exert control over the cells' growth and reproduction. This helps bone marrow make normal blood cells.
Secondly, decitabine is an antimetabolite, which interrupts the cell cycle. Antimetabolites are very similar to normal substances found in a cell. When the cancer cell takes in the decitabine, it can no longer divide (reproduce). If the cells are unable to divide, they die.


How to create a new Screen
Suppose you already have a migrated application with the following project structure:
 - Back-end
 - App1
 - Form0.cs
 - Form1.cs
 - Front-end
 - app1-angular
 - app1
 - Form0
 - form0.component.ts
 - form0.component.html
 - form0.component.css
 - Form1
 - form1.component.ts
 - form1.component.html
 - form1.component.css
 - index.ts
 - app1.module.ts
 - component_definitions.ts
And you want to implement the following user story:
As a user, I want to be able to navigate to a new screen, in which I can click on a button and then a label shows the text: "Hello World".
Based on the user story described above, the screen should be like the following image:
And after clicking the button, it should be like this:
In order to implement this user story, you will have to do the following things:
 1. Create the screen Form2.cs in back-end code.
 2. Create the screen in front-end code and export the new screen. The new screen consists on the following components:
 - form2.component.html
 - form2.component.ts
 - form2.component.css
1. Back-end: Create the screen Form2.cs
Please follow the following steps: First, we have to create the class Form2.cs, add the ObservableAttribute to the class in order to keep the class within the WebMAP's life cycle. Then make the class extend from Mobilize.Web.Form in order to inherit all the necessary properties and functionalities that is needed in any new screen.
[Observable]
public class Form2 : Mobilize.Web.Form
{
 public Form2()
 {
 }
}
Once we have the class created, we can start adding the functionality that we want for this screen. For this user story, we'll need to use some predefined controls that Mobilize already provides to us such as:
 - Mobilize.Web.Button
 - Mobilize.Web.Label
 - Mobilize.Web.RadioButton
 - Mobilize.Web.CheckBox
 - Mobilize.Web.TextBox
 - Mobilize.Web.TreeView
 - Mobilize.Web.DataGridView
 - Mobilize.Web.PictureBox
 - Mobilize.Web.Panel
For more details of the list of predefined controls, please refer to the section of API.
So, in this screen, lets use a Mobilize.Web.Button and a Mobilize.Web.Label defining them as properties and instantiate them inside the constructor.
[Observable]
public class Form2 : Mobilize.Web.Form
{
 public Form2()
 {
 this.label1 = new Mobilize.Web.Label();
 this.button1 = new Mobilize.Web.Button();
 this.label1.Name = "label1";
 this.label1.Text = "label1";
 this.button1.Name = "button1";
 this.button1.Text = "button1";
 this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);
 this.Controls.Add(this.label1);
 this.Controls.Add(this.button1);
 this.Name = "app.Form2";
 this.Text = "Form2";
 }
 private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
 {
 this.label1.Text = "Hello World";
 }
 [Mobilize.WebMAP.Common.Attributes.Intercepted]
 private Mobilize.Web.Label label1 { get; set; }
 [Mobilize.WebMAP.Common.Attributes.Intercepted]
 private Mobilize.Web.Button button1 { get; set; }
}
Please note the following details:
 1. The properties' accessibility could be private, protected or public based on your needs
 2. The properties must have the InterceptedAttribute if you want the property be kept throughout the requests.
 3. The click event of the button1 is bound to the Click EventHandler, when someone clicks on the button in front-end, it will trigger a request, and it should step into the button1_Click method.
2. Front-end: Create the typescript, html, css and export the new screen.
2.1 Add a new folder
Lets create a new folder for Form2 that will contain the typescript angular component, the html and the css for the form. The folder structure would be as below:
 - Front-end
 - app1-angular
 - Form0
 - ...
 - Form1
 - ...
 - Form2
 - ...
2.2 Create Typescript angular component
Lets create the angular typescript component form2.component.ts :
import { Component, ChangeDetectorRef, ElementRef, Output, Renderer2, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { EventData, dataTransfer} from '@mobilize/base-components';
import { FormComponent } from '@mobilize/winforms-components';
import { WebMAPService } from '@mobilize/angularclient';
@Component({
 selector: 'app-form2',
 styleUrls: ['./form2.component.css'],
 templateUrl: './form2.component.html',
 encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
@dataTransfer(['frmapp.Form2'])
export class Form2Component extends FormComponent {
 protected webServices: WebMAPService;
 constructor( wmservice: WebMAPService, changeDetector: ChangeDetectorRef, render2: Renderer2, elem: ElementRef) {
 super(wmservice, changeDetector, render2, elem);
 }
}
In the code above, we need to import some core components given by angular, and we also need to import FormComponent to inherit the properties and functionalities of any screen. Besides, we need to import WebMAPService for the basic delta synchronization and sending requests to WebMAP Back-end.
Besides, we just need to create a class Form2Component (this name follows the angular naming conventions), and the dataTransfer attribute is a decorator is used to register the types of the controls that are going to be displayed dynamically.
2.3 Create the html
First, we need to create a html file: form2.component.html In order to bind with the back-end Form2 class, lets insert the following standard for creating any new html screens:

 ...

The html above is using a wm-window, which is a Mobilize Front-end generic component for supporting the System.Widows.Forms.
Second, we will need to bind with the button1 and label1 that we have previously defined in the back-end code, so lets insert one front-end button html tag and label html tag: wm-button and wm-label.
The wm-button with id button1 has a two-way binding with model.button1 (this property binds automatically with the back-end's button1 property).
The wm-label with id label1 has a two-way binding with model.label1 (this property binds automatically with the back-end's button1 property).
The class attribute we defined like: app_Form2, button1 and label1 will be used in the css to bind with the styles.
NOTE: Please note that you can add any other html tags here for extending other functionalities you want. The most important thing is that you will need to bind it with some angular component.
2.3 Create the css
First, we need to create a html file: form2.component.css Then, we just have to define some styles as below:
.app_Form2 {
 /* you can add any other style here */
 left: -1px;
 top: -1px;
}
.app_Form2 .Form2 {
 /* you can add any other style here */
 width: 800px;
 height: 450px;
 overflow: hidden;
}
.app_Form2 .button1 {
 /* you can add any other style here */
 left: 31px;
 top: 23px;
 position: absolute;
 width: 75px;
 height: 23px;
 padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
 display: table-cell;
 vertical-align: middle;
 display: table-cell;
}
.app_Form2 .label1 {
 /* you can add any other style here */
 white-space: nowrap;
 overflow: hidden;
 left: 28px;
 top: 61px;
 position: absolute;
 width: auto;
 height: auto;
}
NOTE: Please note that you can add any style that you want to personalize the look and feel for the new screen.
2.4 Exporting the new created component
To export the new component, we need to add


Canary Seed
Botanical name:
Canary Seed. Fructus (Semen) Canariense, Semence de Canarie, Fr. Kamariensamen, G.—The seeds of Phalaris canariensis L., an annual grass originally from the Canary Islands, but now growing wild in Europe and the United States. The seeds are ovate, somewhat compressed, about 5 mm. long, shining and of a light yellowish-gray color externally, and light within. Their chief constituent is starch, and they are used chiefly as bird seed.

The Western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, has been labeled the billion dollar pest. Monitoring of this pest will allow us to determine the population dynamics of YieldGard® Rootworm. Western corn rootworm beetle populations were monitored in fields planted to transgenic corn with the use of Pherocon® AM sticky traps. Traps were placed in both transgenic and non-transgenic refuge areas. Beetle populations, the sex ratio, and the size of the beetles in the transgenic and non-transgenic areas are compared. These data will be useful in evaluating YieldGard® Rootworm hybrid efficiency and refuge area recommended by the EPA. This data will be helpful in developing good insecticide resistance management strategies.

What are the effects of chlorine on plant growth?
Chlorine is, indeed, a micronutrient required for plant growth, but necessary only in minute quantities. Because chlorine can kill bacteria, in excessive amounts it could have a negative impact on the good soil bacteria that benefit plants. Excessive chlorine can also directly injure plant roots.
What does chlorinated water do to plants?
Swimming pool water contains chemicals, especially chlorine, that can harm your trees and landscape plants when water drains and floods the area. Too much chlorine can damage tree leaves and other delicate tissues. Too much chlorinated water all at once can even kill trees.
How does bleach affect plants science project?
Bleach is used for sterilization purposes, meaning it kills organic matter, which includes those bacteria and fungi necessary for healthy plant growth. Bleach that has found its way to the base of any plant will kill the microorganisms living below it, and the plant will die soon thereafter.
Will chlorinated water damage plants?
A: It's a waste, but fresh pool water is not safe for irrigating plants. It's because the chlorine in pool water is very toxic to plants. If the chlorine level is low enough, it's possible to use it. Periodically, pool water is "shocked" or hyper-chlorinated, which raises the chlorine level even higher.
How much chlorine is safe for plants?
The Bottom Line. Contrary to popular concerns, neither chlorine or chloramine from municipal tap water is a concern for plants, provided the World Health Organization Recommendation of less than 5 ppm, is followed.
How much chlorine is toxic to plants?
High levels of chlorine in soils are toxic to plants, but research has shown that chlorine at levels typical in municipal tapwater (often around 5 parts per million ) have little or no direct effect on plant growth.
How long does it take for chlorine to evaporate from water for plants?
2 ppm of Chlorine will take up to 4 and a half days or around 110 hours to evaporate from 10 gallons of standing water. Ultraviolet light, water circulation, and aeration will speed up the evaporation process dramatically. Chlorine will last between 6 and 8 minutes in 10 gallons of boiling tap water.
Is chlorinated water bad for dogs?
According to the CDC, chlorinated water is safe for both humans and dogs to drink in concentrations up to 4 milligrams per liter. The recommended level of chlorine in pools and tubs is 1-3 milligrams per liter, so your dog should be fine if they ingest some of the pool water.
Why tap water is bad for plants?
Con: Tap water often has additive chlorine in it which can be very harmful to your plants. To reduce the risk of harmful chemicals in your water, allow your tap water to sit out for at least 24 hours before using it to water your plants.
Is bleach harmful for plants?
The sodium hypochlorite solution is highly toxic undiluted; especially to plants. It is the sodium in the bleach that poses the most risk to plants because it interferes with their mineral absorption. Small amounts of diluted chlorine bleach are safe for plants and in some cases even helpful.
Can plants survive bleach?
Bleach is a non-selective type of herbicide. This means that it will kill anything that comes in its way, weeds, grass, or even your desirable plants. While at it, bleach makes the soil incompetent of growing any plants or weeds until it goes back to its average pH level.
What does vinegar do to plants?
Due to its burning effects, using vinegar in the garden has been touted as a cure-all for a number of garden afflictions, most notably weed control. The acetic acid of vinegar dissolves the cell membranes resulting in desiccation of tissues and death of the plant.
What plants can tolerate chlorine?
Chlorine-tolerant vines include confederate jasmine, Carolina jessamine, honeysuckle, deep green ivy, creeping rosemary, liriope, and climbing fig.
Is chlorinated water bad for grass?
How does pool water hurt my yard? If your chlorine concentration is too high, you may start seeing a pH imbalance in your soil or dead grass. Grass also knows which nutrients is should and shouldn't absorb. But when salt levels increase, it becomes harder for plants to obtain nutrients and water.
Can I water plants with pool backwash?
Though it's illegal to discharge swimming pool/spa backwash and drainage water off your property, in general you can dump this water into the public sewers. You can also reuse this water to help your thirsty plants!

Water can symbolize many things, but often it is associated with knowledge and emotion; both of which are difficult to define in logical terms. In the installation/performance space of Sans Gravity, Bustamante explores the metaphors associated with water in the physical realm by burdening her body. The weight and the movement of the water develop into extensions of the gesture and another layer of the distorted self. The audience becomes a mechanism of relief.

Traveler Scheduled Defragmentation using the DBMAINT Command
 26 Januar 2016 16:03:59
IBM introduced with IBM Notes Traveler 9.0.1.8 a new tool to get better control of the defragmentation of the used relational state database (Derby in Standalone / DB2 or MS SQL in HA).
Before 9.0.1.8 the periodic defragmentation could be configured by using the notes.ini setting NTS_DEFRAG_INTERVAL_DAYS. This INI-setting is no longer used by Traveler and 9.0.1.9 will show you a warning:
Image:Traveler Scheduled Defragmentation using the DBMAINT Command
Since 9.0.1.8 you need to configure scheduled defragmentation by using the new DBMAINT-Command:
To check the current config and status:
tell traveler dbmaint show
To enable periodic defragmentation you will have to enable and configure it using this commands:
tell traveler dbmaint set interval 30
tell traveler dbmaint set auto on
From the Traveler documentation:
Running defragmentation on a scheduled basis (9.0.1.8 and later)
To perform defragmentation on a scheduled basis, perform the following procedure:
 1 Use the tell command DBMaint set interval in order to set the interval to a number greater than 0. For example, to set an interval of 30 days, enter into the console:tell traveler dbmaint set interval 30
 2 Use the tell command DBMaint set auto on to turn on automatic defragmentation.
 3 To force a defragmentation, enter the command tell traveler dbmaint run. This sets NTS_DEFRAG_ONCE to 1 and the Derby database will be defragmented the next time the IBM Traveler server restarts.
Running defragmentation on a scheduled basis (8.5.3.1 to 9.0.1.7)
To run defragmentation on a scheduled basis with IBM Traveler server 8.5.3.1 to 9.0.1.7, perform the following procedure:
 1 Add NTS_DEFRAG_INTERVAL_DAYS to the notes.ini file. For example, to set an interval of 30 days add: NTS_DEFRAG_INTERVAL_DAYS=30
 2 Restart the IBM Traveler server. From that point on, if the IBM Traveler server is restarted and it has been 30 days since the last defragmentation, then the defrag operation will run.
 3 To force a defragmentation, simply delete the parameter NTS_LAST_DEFRAG from the notes.ini file and restart the server.
If NTS_DEFRAG_INTERVAL_DAYS is set and there is no last defragmentation timestamp, then the server will perform a defragmentation and reset the NTS_LAST_DEFRAG timestamp.
DBMaint Run Immediately performs online maintenance. If the server is standalone, then it will configure maintenance to run on restart.
DBMaint Show Displays various database maintenance scheduling information.
DBMaint Fragmentation Recommends database maintenance based on fragmentation levels.
DBMaint Set Interval days Sets the interval of days in which automatic database maintenance will perform.
DBMaint Set Time hh:mm Sets the time in 24-hour format in which automatic database maintenance will perform.
DBMaint Set Day monday-sunday/off Sets the day of the week on which the first scheduled automatic maintenance will start. Set this to Off if you want the first scheduled maintenance to be based off of the last maintenance time.
DBMaint Set Threshold on/off Configures automatic database maintenance to check fragmentation levels before execution.
DBMaint Set Auto on/off Enables automatic database maintenance. Re-enablement will reschedule maintenance if either the time or interval have changed.
DBMaint Set Indexes number Configures the number of fragmented indexes for the fragmentation threshold.
DBMaint Set Ownership Configures ownership of database maintenance to the executing server. This server will be the only server that can perform automatic database maintenance.
DBMaint Set Percent 0-100 Only applicable for SQL Server. Configures the fragmentation percentage of indexes for the fragmentation threshold.
DBMaint Set Functions 1-4 Only applicable for DB2. Configures the number of functions that are used to determine if an index is fragmented for the fragmentation threshold.

The Use of Negative Pressure in Medicine
Pressure is considered negative if it is below the standard atmospheric pressure, i.e. one atmosphere (1 atm). Negative pressure could occur naturally in few occasions such as out space, but it also could be deliberately inducted for the use of human. One of these uses is for medical purposes. The history of negative pressure use in health and disease management draws back to the establishment of the Chinese traditional medicine and continued to develop till the contemporary medical advances. In this review, the author aimed to elaborate the history and advancement in the usage of negative pressure in health aspects and classify the different modalities of negative pressure incorporated in treatment management and clinical trials.


[TxMt] snippet to generate unique ID, detect end of document, and move cursor
Stephan Hugel urschrei at gmail.com
Sun Jul 25 22:20:45 UTC 2010
Hello,
I'm trying to write a snippet that will create a footnote in a TM file
(using markdown syntax), and I'm having some difficulties:
Footnote syntax works as follows:
Here's a string of text [^footnote_identifier] which continues here.
then, at the beginning of a new line:
[^footnote_identifier]: text of the footnote itself
So, what the snippet needs to do (theoretically) when snippet is
triggered: generate a (not too long, 5 digit alphanumeric should be
fine for a single document) unique id, and insert the full
[^footnote_identifier] string, then jump to the end of the document,
insert [^footnote_identifier]: and a space, allow typing of the
footnote text, then return to the original insertion point when tab is
pressed again.
I have no idea whether any of this is possible using snippet syntax,
so any pointers would be appreciated.

24-Hour BioBlitz Uncovers Stunning Species Diversity at Riveredge
Scientists from Milwaukee Public Museum arrived on the afternoon of Friday, June 14 to spend 24 hours at Riveredge Nature Center for the 2019 BioBlitz – a quest to discover as many species as possible in 24 hours.
MPM research scientists, students, and lovers of nature visited Riveredge to forage throughout the Center's 379 acres of various restored habitats to find as many plants and animals as possible.
Riveredge has "enormous richness"
Dr. Robert Freckmann, who began his botany career in 1959 and for whom the Herbarium at University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point is named, was one of many researchers on-hand to participate in the 24-hour celebration of science. "It's going to be interesting to see how many species we can come up with in 24 hours, but I think that's more a function of the number of botanists and their level of energy than it is the place," said Dr. Freckmann.
"This place has enormous richness, and all we can do [in 24 hours] is get a small sample of it," added Freckmann.
BioBlitz at Riveredge Findings
Both MPM and Riveredge staff were pleased to document a grand total of 1,254 species within 24 hours across the Riveredge property! This total is the highest number of any of the 5 total locations surveyed since MPM started its annual BioBlitz program. A playful debate ensued about whether to include examples of the Lake Sturgeon, which Riveredge raises onsite for the Return the Sturgeon program.
BioBlitz Species Highlights
- Dr. John Zaborsky | UW-Madison – reported 536 plant species including garden plants, highlights include Small Yellow lady's-slipper & rare Handsome Sedge.
- Gina LaLiberte | Wisconsin DNR – found 120 species of microplants including cynobacteria, red algae, and several species of euglena in the Vernal Pond.
- Dr. Suzanne Joneson | UW-Waukesha – found 31 species of lichens, which she surmised indicates a "happy forest."
- Birds – 80 species seen, including Ruffed Grouse and Pileated Woodpecker.
- Mammals – 16 species, including humans, the highlight being a Southern Flying Squirrel.
- 343 species of insects were discovered; of which 180 were Lepidopterans (moths & butterflies).
- Findings of 21 species of fish (22 if you count sturgeon). Highlights include Brown Trout, Iowa Darter, and Mottled Sculpin.
- Riveredge was the first of the BioBlitz locations surveyed where invasive Jumping Worms were not found.
Reaping Biodiversity Benefits through Long-term Conservation
"Riveredge was one of the first locations in the region to begin restoring habitats, and we have such a diversity of habitat in this immediate area – from wetlands to dry and wet prairies to creeks, marshland, forests and woodlands – and of course the mile of Milwaukee River banks for which Riveredge is named," said Jessica Jens, Riveredge Executive Director. "I'm pleased by the number of species documented – I was hoping we'd surpass 1,200, but must admit I'm not entirely surprised by the huge number of species that were found," said Jens.
"I see the passion, care, and work that goes into our 379 acres everyday and these findings are evidence of not only the work we put in every day at Riveredge, but the legacy of caretakers who came before us," said Jens.
A Public Science Extravaganza
A BioBlitz is a unique occasion in that it's a science event in which, during a portion, the public is invited to participate and learn alongside researchers. Several partner organizations throughout the region were on-hand to engage the public about populations of local plants, rodents, bees, fireflies, large mammals, and other species.
In at least one occasion, members of the public found species that researchers had not yet documented. On Saturday afternoon, a young girl presented researchers with a Painted Lady Butterfly that had yet to be discovered during the BioBlitz.
Riveredge is a Year-round Nature Sanctuary
The BioBlitz only lasted 24 hours, but at Riveredge Nature Center, you can experience this rich tapestry of diverse plants and wildlife year-round. Our 10 miles of trails are open 7 days a week from sunup to sundown for hiking, strolling, birding, sauntering, running, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing. Become a member of Riveredge today and begin exploring your nature!

Loading DLLs Explicitly in Delphi 6
Although loading DLLs implicitly is convenient, it isn't always the most desired method. Suppose you have a DLL that contains many routines. If it's likely that your application will never call any of the DLL's routines, it would be a waste of memory to load the DLL every time your application runs. This is especially true when using multiple DLLs with one application. Another example is when using DLLs as large objects: a standard list of functions that are implemented by multiple DLLs but do slightly different things, such as printer drivers and file format readers. In this situation, it would be beneficial to load the DLL when specifically requested to do so by the application. This is referred to as explicitly loading a DLL.

Small electrical charges could help airplanes avoid lightning strikes
There may be a way to make airplanes less prone to lightning strikes. The trick, surprisingly, might be to give airplanes a bit of an electrical charge when they are in the air, say scientists reporting their experimental work in AGU's Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres.


ref{eq:tf_factors}\)
$$ \begin{align} H(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}) &= K\,\mathrm{e}^{j(\small N-\small M)\omega T}\frac{(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_1)(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_2)\dots(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_{\small M})}{(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_1)(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_2)\dots(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_{\small N})},&K=\frac{b_M}{a_N} \label{eq:tf_unitcircle} \end{align} $$
this will only converge when the ROC includes the unit circle where \(|z|=1\).
Expressing equation \(\eqref{eq:tf_unitcircle}\) in polar form, helps us distinguish between the amplitude and phase response
$$ \shaded{ \begin{align} H\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}\right) &= r\,\mathrm{e}^{j\varphi} \nonumber \\ \text{where}\quad r&=\left|H\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}\right)\right|&\text{amplitude response} \nonumber \\ \text{and}\quad\varphi&=\angle{H\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}\right)}&\text{phase response} \nonumber \\ \end{align} } \label{eq:tf_polarform} $$
Remember, that in the \(z\)-plane, angular frequency are shown in normalized form, where the normalized angular frequency \(\omega T\) is the angle with the positive horizontal axis.
Amplitude response
We find the amplitude response as the magnitude \(|H(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T})|\) when substituting equation \(\eqref{eq:tf_unitcircle}\) in \(\eqref{eq:tf_polarform}\)
$$ \begin{align} \left|H(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T})\right| =& \left|K\,\mathrm{e}^{j(\small N-\small M)\omega T}\frac{(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_1)(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_2)\dots(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_{\small M})}{(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_1)(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_2)\dots(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_{\small N})}\right|,&K=\frac{b_M}{a_N}\nonumber\\[14mu] =& \left|K\right|\,\left|\mathrm{e}^{j(\small N-\small M)\omega T}\right| \frac{\left|\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_1\right|\cdot\left|\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_2\right|\dots\left|\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_{\small M}\right|} {\left|\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_1\right|\cdot\left|\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_2\right|\dots\left|\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_{\small N}\right|},&K=\frac{b_M}{a_N} \end{align} $$
With \(\left|\mathrm{e}^{j(\small N-\small M)\omega T}\right|=1\), according to Euler's formula, the amplitude response follows as
$$ \begin{align} \shaded{ \left|H(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T})\right| = |K|\,\frac{\prod_{i=1}^{M}\left|\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_i\right| } {\prod_{i=1}^{N}\left|\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_i\right|}}, & & K=\frac{b_M}{a_N} \end{align} $$
The amplitude response can be visualized with the length of vectors from the poles and zeros to point \(z\) on the unit circle that corresponding to the natural frequency for which the function is evaluated.
The product of the vector lengths from the zeros divided by that of the poles times \(K\) represents the amplitude response for that normalized angular frequency.
Phase response
Along the same line of thought, the phase response is the angle \(\angle\left(H(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T})\right)\) when substituting equation \(\eqref{eq:tf_unitcircle}\) in \(\eqref{eq:tf_polarform}\)
$$ \begin{align} \angle H(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}) =\,& \angle\left(K\,\mathrm{e}^{j(\small N-\small M)\omega T}\frac{(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_1)(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_2)\dots(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_{\small M})}{(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_1)(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_2)\dots(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_{\small N})}\right),&K=\frac{b_M}{a_N} \nonumber \\ =\,& \angle K+\angle\mathrm{e}^{j(\small N-\small M)\omega T} \nonumber \\ & +\angle\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_1\right) + \angle\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_2\right)+\dots +\angle\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_{\small M}\right) \nonumber \\ & -\angle\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_1\right) – \angle\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_2\right) -\dots -\angle\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-p_{\small N}\right),&K=\frac{b_M}{a_N} \nonumber \end{align} $$
With \(K\) a real valued scalar and \(\angle\mathrm{e}^{j\phi}=\phi\), according to Euler's formula
$$ \begin{align} \angle H(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}) =&(N-M)\omega T\nonumber\\ &+\angle\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_1\right) + \angle\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_2\right)+\dots +\angle\left(\mathrm{e}^{j\omega T}-q_{\small

The Rubicon River was a river in northern Italy in Roman times that was used as a boundry under Roman law. No leader was allowed to bring an army into Italy, which meant passing the Rubicon. As the flow of rivers change over time, modern geologists can only approximate where the river was located during the time of Ancient Rome.
Crossing the Rubicon
Crossing the Rubicon is an expression that refers to Julius Caesar's decision in 49 B.C. to cross the Rubicon River with an army as he marched toward the Roman Senate and therefore war. After his great success in Gaul, forces allied against him had the Senate pass a decree that he had to give up his armies and return to Rome - most likely to be brought up on charges. Caesar defied them. The expression means to go beyond the point of no return, much as Caesar did when he crossed the Rubicon River. At the time that he crossed he uttered his famous phrase, "Alea iacta est!" ("The die is cast").
