"It is of small size, and consists of a square-shaped convolution, which is termed the precuneus or quadrate lobe."
"In front of this precentral convolution are the three frontal convolutions, and it would seem that the functions of these convolutions are higher movements and attention in fixation of the eyes; moreover, in the lowest frontal region, indicated by fine dots, we have Broca's convolution, which is associated with motor speech; above at the base of the second middle frontal convolution is the portion of cortex in which is localised the function of writing."

Quick Answer: What'S Special About The Number 10?
Is 10 a sacred number?
What does 3 represent in the Bible?
What is 7 called?
In this case, 5238 ÷ 7 = 748.285714. A seven-sided shape is a heptagon. The regular n-gons for n ≤ 6 can be constructed by compass and straightedge alone, but the regular heptagon cannot. Figurate numbers representing heptagons (including seven) are called heptagonal numbers.
When you add two numbers How do you know if you can make a 10?
Look at the bigger number, how much do you need to add to it to make a ten number (10, 20, 30, 40….) You can take that amount out of the other number and add it to the bigger number. Now you can add them together more easily because the bigger number is a ten.
What does the number 10 mean in biblical numerology?
Number 10 in Bible is a symbol of perfection, harmony and creation. This number is one of the most powerful and most widely spread, as well as 3, 7 and 12. … It is also a number of integration, discipline, laws and wholeness. The phrase "God said" is repeated 10 times through Genesis.
What is a life path number 10?
Life path number 10 and its compatibility is the number that has the traits of Independence and infinite energy. A person with the life path number 10 always remains comfortable in being alone, determined, and adventurous in character. … This number 10 consists of the essence of both number 1 and 0.
Does 6 mean Bible?
6. Both Hebrew and Christian sources believe six indicates "imperfection," "man," or "evil." For Christianity, this occurs preeminently in the Book of Revelation.
Does everyone use base 10?
Today we use a decimal (base 10) number system, but not all cultures have done the same throughout time. The Mayans, for instance, used both quinary (base 5) and vigesimal (base 20) systems, while the Babylonians used a sexagesimal (base 60) system.
What does the number 10 mean in astrology?
Things Associated with Number 10 In astrology, the number 10 is associated with Capricorn, a sign telling of career, determination, and ambition. In the birth chart, the tenth house is the highest point in the chart, much like the number 10 represents one's highest potential.
Why do we have 10 numbers?
Nature gave us ten fingers, and so it is natural for us to count in tens. … Machines count bigger numbers in the same way we do: by counting how many times they run out of digits. This system is called binary and the binary number 10 means the machine ran out of digits one time. A human would call this number two.
What does the number 10 mean in love?
Number 10 in Love Love is divine and sacred. The meaning of 10 reveals that your guardian angel is sending you a message that you are loved immensely. There is so much love for you among the people who treasure and value you. You also give back to the said people that love you receive in its abundance.

each newly instantiated DataObject and sets its name to "Item i", where i was it's order of creation.
DataObject.java:
 - A very simple object that holds the item name as a String and the item color as an int.
HorzGridViewAdapter.java:
 - Custom adapter that extends BaseAdapter class
 - Uses ViewHolder class for storing view handles to reduce number of times findViewById() is called
 - Uses recycled convertView and doesn't create new view for each object in the list
 - Gets row and column values from integer-array in integers.xml
 - Gets item padding from dimens.xml
 - Passes row value to setNumRows() and setRowHeight(); setNumColumns() and setColumnWidth() ignored when GV is horizontal, so no reason setting them
 - Padding around item is set in each child's FrameLayout; see details below
 - Since item height and width are determined by the largest child's values, this sets the child's ImageView height and width using layout parameters
 - DO NOT set the child's FrameLayout layout parameters or the converView's layout parameters. Setting either will cause a new view to be created for each object in the list. While these views are eventually reduced down to the number on screen, the initial creation of so many views crashes a simple application. No clue why, it just does.
 - If the child's TextView is larger than the ImageView, unpredictable spacing between items will occur. But, DO NOT set the layout parameters of the TextView because that too will force a new view to be created for every object in the list. Instead, either shorten the text, reduce text size, or have fewer number of columns to fit the larger text.
VertGridViewAdapter.java:
 - Same as HorzGridViewAdapter.java except for the Vertical GridView and the following:
 - Passes column value to setNumColumns() and setColumnWidth(); setNumRows() and setRowHeight() ignored when GV is vertical, so no reason setting them
activity_main.xml
 - Jess's example sets many more properties such as number of rows and height, etc. This example does not because I found it impossible to get the sizing and dimensioning to work correctly using properties in xml and so set all of them programatically in the adapter for each gridview.
 - cacheColorHint and bg should be set to a constant color for improving performance-recommended by Google.
 - Vertical spacing and horizontal spacing seem to be intended for padding, but made it difficult to get the layout to show correctly. Therefore, these are set to 0 and padding is set in the FrameLayout of the child view. The child's padding is also used to determine the ImageView height in the adapter's getView() function
 - Stretch mode is meant to "properly" space the items on the screen, but again, using any setting but "none" just made life difficult
 - app:scrollDirectionPortrait and app:scrollDirectionLandscape tell the GV what direction to scroll; while the scrolling direction can change based on orientation, I kept it the same direction regardless of orientation
horz_gridview_child_layout.xml
 - Child layout for horzGridView
 - FrameLayout has padding because it just made life easier than setting it elsewhere
 - ImageView controls height and width of every child and is set in adapter's getView() which overrides the height and width from xml
vert_gridview_child_layout.xml
 - Child layout for vertGridView
 - FrameLayout has padding because it just made life easier than setting it elsewhere
 - ImageView controls height and width of every child and is set in adapter's getView() which overrides the height and width from xml
values-xxx folders
 - The integers.xml file in each of these folders specify the number of rows and columns for each GridView. These values change based on orientation (using the -land folders) and screen size (using sw600dp for 7″ tabs and sw720dp for 10″ tabs).
In a future tutorial I will show how to apply drag and drop to these gridviews.

Hot and Cold Ideal Gases Documents
This material has 2 associated documents. Select a document title to view a document's information.
The EJS Hot and Cold Ideal Gases model simulates the mixing of hot and cold two-dimensional ideal gases in a square box. This simulation can be used as part of the activity described in "The Statistical Interpretation of Entropy: An Activity" by Todd Timberlake, to be published in The Physics Teacher.
In the model, one gas is initially confined to the left side of the box while the other gas is confined to the right side. An animation window shows the motion of the particles in the box, while an optional graph window plots the temperature of each side of the box, which is determined by measuring the average KE of the particles on each side. The initial number of particles and temperature on each side of the square can be changed and a button allows the user to reverse the particle velocities at any time. The user can modify this simulation if EJS is installed locally by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.
EJS Hot and Cold Ideal Gases model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_entropy_HotAndColdIdealGases.jar file will run the program if Java is installed. EJS is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models. Additional EJS models are available. They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or EJS.

How digital signage can promote safety and awareness across departments
Angela Murphy
May 28th, 2020
This third installment of our post-lockdown series for work looks at how to keep department spaces safe and inspiring for team members.
Last week we offered examples of how digital signage can help promote safety and awareness in shared spaces such as hallways, office cafeterias, and reception areas. This week we're looking at the types of messaging and imagery that are relevant to different teams.
Workspaces are often organized by department, meaning that colleagues who work closely together will occupy a space that's more or less fixed. Work stations are more static than meeting rooms or other shared spaces where employees and guests are constantly coming and going. When it comes to sending messages and fostering a particular atmosphere with digital signage, there are two implications specific to department spaces where the same people tend to inhabit the same area every day. The first is that the content on display can be tailor-made for a very specific group of people. The second that digital signage messages are more likely to be seen.
Here are some examples of how digital signage can be used to help to encourage teams while minimizing the risk of contagion within and across departments.
Use Trello boards to stay on track with team projects
Project management boards like Trello's help to track shared projects, offering a visual summary of which tasks have been done, what's currently being worked on, and what's still left to tackle. Consider the example of the HR department, known in some companies as the People Team. This task force is often responsible for reintroducing employees to their familiar-yet-new workplaces. A Trello board can be used to help the HR/People team band together and stay on track with plans for a safe reopening. Lists of tasks can also be organized based on deadlines, such as "2 weeks before reopening", "1 week before reopening", and "The day of reopening".
A shared Trello board can help to transform a whirlwind of to-dos into an achievable quest for any department where collaborative work is ongoing. You can even use boards to sync between teams, such as when customer support submits a task/request for the engineering team. The communications department can organize a Trello board to keep an eye on content ideas that have been approved and those that are still pending.
Use dashboards to reinforce sales targets and (healthy) competition
As the world works through a recession, any sales outreach has to be tactful. Demand for your product or service may have decreased. That said, those who work in sales still have a job to do, and they shouldn't feel bad about doing it. While every department plays a key role, your sales team might need more encouragement than normal to balance the dynamics of advocating for a product or service while not coming off as pushy or insensitive.
Well-designed dashboards that reinforce sales targets and display time-specific progress can help teams visualize progress. Such designs can even gamify work by using targets to encourage healthy competition among colleagues. For example, a dashboard can include a picture that celebrates "Sales Rep of the Week" or "Account Manager of the Month". You can spread the appreciation around by having various awards based on different products or services sold, total calls completed, etc. Success should be shared, especially when a department-wide milestone is reached. But recognizing individual achievement also goes a long way.
Use slideshows to promote cleanliness
Slide shows can be used across every department. They offer a format where text and imagery can be easily combined and updated remotely. Any changes that are made are synced to the screen in real-time, as everything is online. A picture can say a thousand words, but for anyone who doesn't "get the picture", it doesn't hurt to add a few words to hammer the message home. In other words, slideshows are ideal for supporting new health and safety efforts.
Many organizations are now legally mandated to have their office cleaned more regularly than they're used to. To help this transition, images can instruct employees to keep surfaces as tidy as possible so that surfaces are easy to wipe down. Ask everyone to clear away dishes or litter left around their desk, as the alternative means unnecessary work for the cleaning crew. The new layout of your department may also require larger spaces between desks, barriers being installed between workstations, or paths being made one-way to avoid colleagues getting too close as they go back and forth to the restroom or coffee machine. All of these guidelines (and more) can be highlighted with the help of images and text displayed on a loop.
Use playlists to keep it interesting
Playlists in Airtame Cloud let you combine a variety of content, including those listed above. This helps to keep things fresh so that a team doesn't see the same message every time they glance at the screens displayed around their department. You can customize a playlist so that content changes after a specific amount of time and last-minute changes can be easily accommodated if you want to send out the day's news as it unfolds.
Learn more
Whether you work in communications or IT, human resources, or upper management, digital signage is relevant to your safety. You can have a say in what's on display.
Using digital signage with solutions like Airtame Cloud is both efficient and hygienic, as remote access to every screen allows for fast, bulk updates while avoiding physical contact with remote controls and touchscreens. It's also cost-effective considering how most organizations already own many screens that are not being used to their full potential. There's no limit to the number of screens you can access or the number of colleagues who can have access.
And don't forget that any Airtame-equipped screen also offers wireless screen sharing, keeping presenters safe without the need to share any cables or dongles that may be contaminated.

Early Years students help children to explore building
A2 Early Years students planned and implemented a literacy morning at Grayswood Primary school for 29 year 1 pupils. The school is undergoing major extension work and the pupil's topic is building. To complement their work the students planned a carousel of activities around the well-known story of The Three Little Pigs.
The children had the opportunity to 'build' their own house in straw or sticks or bricks and also make props for retelling the story through role play. The morning proved a great success with the children and the students and helped reinforce the skill of effective teamwork.

text: The impact of urban water fluxes on the river system outflow of the Grote Nete catchment (Belgium) was studied. First the impact of the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) and the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) outflows on the river system for the current climatic conditions was determined by simulating the urban fluxes as point sources in a detailed, hydrodynamic river model. Comparison was made of the simulation results on peak flow extremes with and without the urban point sources. In a second step, the impact of climate change scenarios on the urban fluxes and the consequent impacts on the river flow extremes were studied. It is shown that the change in the 10-year return period hourly peak flow discharge due to climate change (−14% to +45%) was in the same order of magnitude as the change due to the urban fluxes (+5%) in current climate conditions. Different climate change scenarios do not change the impact of the urban fluxes much except for the climate scenario that involves a strong increase in rainfall extremes in summer. This scenario leads to a strong increase of the impact of the urban fluxes on the river system.

A comparison of the reproductive strategies of three species of Dysdercus from Africa (Hemiptera, Pyrrhocoridae)
- Department of Zoology, University of Dar es Salaam, P.O. Box 35064, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Reproductive strategies have been investigated for three species of Dysdercus from Africa, D. intermedius, D. cardinalis and D. nigrofasciatus. Reproductive parameters were measured for each species on individuals cultured in the laboratory. D. cardinalis is associated more with herbaceous than with arboreal host plants and is intermediate in body size. It tended to have the least age at first reproduction, reproduced most frequently, and layed the smallest clutches on average, spreading relatively high amounts of parental investment in more clutches than the other two species. It also laid the greatest number of clutches and eggs in a lifetime. D. intermedius specializes on arboreal host plants, and is the largest of the three species. It had the greatest age at first reproduction, reproduced less frequently than D. cardinalis, and layed the largest clutches. Its parental investment over time declined earlier than that of D. cardinalis. D. intermedius layed the least number of clutches in a lifetime, but its lifetime gross reproduction was intermediate in magnitude. D. nigrofasciatus has the widest diet breadth, and is the smallest in body size. Its age at first reproduction was similar to that of D. cardinalis, but D. nigrofasciatus reproduced least frequently, laying relatively large clutches. It was similar to D. intermedius in its pattern of parental investment over time, and essentially layed the same number of clutches in a lifetime as the latter species, although its lifetime gross reproduction was the smallest. It is suggested that the reproductive strategies of the three species might have evolved as adaptations to selection events in the niches of the immature stages.

I know char *x means a pointer to char, but I'm confused about what (char*) x means.

7 Answers
It's a cast. You are instructing the compiler to treat x as if it were a char *, regardless of its real type. Casts should only be used if you really know what you are doing.
For some built-in types, the compiler may perform a meaningful conversion, e.g. converting a double to an int by rounding, but for other types you may not get what you expect.
share|improve this answer
It's not just treating. the value of (char*)x may be different from the value of x (even if x is pointer) – asaelr Jan 30 '12 at 21:49
Casting pointers doesn't modify the value. So it doesn't convert anything. Please verify your answer and change it accordingly, you're giving wrong information here. – Luchian Grigore Jan 30 '12 at 21:55
If I'm not mistaken, nothing in the standard promise that. – asaelr Jan 30 '12 at 22:02
_USER_ I said for SOME built-in types, the compiler MAY perform a meaningful conversion. This is absolutely correct. – Graham Borland Jan 30 '12 at 22:06
_USER_, _USER_: a cast is conceptionally always a conversion - it just so happens that it's a noop in case of compatible representations; calling this 'to treat a value as if it were a different type' is misleading - that's what reinterpret_cast in C++ is for; in C, you can achieve the same thing via type-punning thorugh unions – Christoph Jan 30 '12 at 22:13

It means casting x to a pointer to char (or to a general pointer).

() is the cast operator.
(char *) x means "apply the cast operator to operand x".
The cast operator converts the value of the operand to the type between ().

Type casting to character pointer.
share|improve this answer

Actually, char *x is a declaration. x is pointer to char.
If you already have a variable, such as x, you can cast it to a different type. In your case, (char*) x is redundant, since x already is a pointer to char. But you can cast it to int * or something else. Although, note, it's not safe, since an int is larger than a char.
share|improve this answer
add comment
The expression (char *)x is a type cast which returns the value of x converted to type char *.
The results of a cast can be very different depending on the operand and target types: For example, you can use casts to round floating-point values to integer precision, get rid of qualifiers like const, convert a pointer to integer for advanced address calculations like alignment checks and many other things.
However, not all possible casts result in legal values - eg, casting pointers can violate aliasing and alignment rules.
Converting a (valid) non-function pointer to char * is always legal and useful when doing byte-based pointer arithmetics.

declaration of a variable called "x" of type char:
char x;
declaration of a variable called "x" which is a pointer to a char:
char *x;
cast of something that is not a char to type char:
int x = 10;
char y = (char)x;

Trass is a natural pozzuolana. Natural pozzuolana is the natural rock described as in TS EN 197-1 and identified reactive SiO2 content is minimum 25,0% by mass.
Natural pozzuolana is the material creating resistance by showing hydraulic characteristic by forming calcium silicate and calcium aluminate compounds with calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] solved at normal ambient temperature in the presence of water and when it is ground finely and not showing hydraulic characteristics. Essentially, it is formed by reactive silicium dioxide (SiO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and remaining comprises of iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3).
Trass requirement is met from the quarries close to our plant.
After determining the hydraulic characteristic (pozzolanic activity) of natural pozzuolana in pressure created by water and slacked lime [Ca(OH)2] when it is ground finely, its suitability as the additive is determined.

The denitrifier method to determine the dual isotopic composition (??15N and??18O) of nitrate is well suited for studies of nitrogen contributions to streams during runoff events. This method requires only 70 nmol of NO3- and enables high throughput of samples. We studied nitrate sources to a headwater stream during snowmelt by generating a high-temporal resolution dataset at the Sleepers River Research Watershed in Vermont, USA. In the earliest phase of runoff, stream NO3- concentrations were highest and stream discharge, NO3- concentrations, and??18O of NO 3- generally tracked one another during diurnal melting. The isotopic composition of stream NO3- varied in-between atmospheric and groundwater NO 3- end members indicating a direct contribution of atmospherically-derived NO3- from the snow pack to the stream. During the middle to late phases of snowmelt, the source shifted toward soil NO3- entering the stream via shallow subsurface flow paths. Copyright 2004 by the American Geophysical Union.

While most parts of Nigeria are expected to have minimum temperatures between 20°C to 25°C, much cooler temperatures are expected in parts of 20 states of the country, the nation's meteorological agency, NiMet, said in its advisory Tuesday.
NiMet said in the next one week, minimum temperatures ranging from 15°C to 20°C are anticipated over parts of Borno, Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi, Plateau, Kaduna, Zamfara, southern Katsina, southern Kano, Taraba, Niger, Kogi, Benue, Kwara, Oyo, Ekiti, northern Ondo, Osun, Edo and Enugu States.
It added that "maximum temperatures ranging between 30°C to 35°C are expected over Borno, Yobe, Jigawa, Sokoto, Kebbi, Parts of Kano, Katsina, Bauchi, Zamfara, Gombe, Adamawa and Niger States."
While the maximum temperature expected over most parts of the country is between 25°C to 30°C, NiMet predicted that the maximum temperatures over most "parts of Plateau, Oyo, Kwara, Enugu, Kogi, Nasarawa, Taraba and the Federal Capital Territory" would be below 25°C.
"During the week, the MJO is expected to remain weak over the West African region," NiMet noted. "However, moisture influx, favorable OLR, 200hpa velocity potential anomalies, upper level divergence and lower level convergence are expected."
This, it said, offers chances of "very heavy rainfall" over parts of southern Kaduna, Abuja metropolis, Cross River, Plateau, Kwara and southern Taraba States.
"Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected over parts of southern Kebbi, Niger, Abuja, Kaduna, Kwara, Kogi, northern Ekiti, eastern, Benue, Taraba, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Imo, Rivers, northern Bayelsa and eastern part of Delta States.
"However, moderate to low rainfall is anticipated over the rest of the country," the agency predicted, adding that "there are chances of run-off waters on roads and bridges which can disrupt vehicular traffic. Hence, the public is advised to exercise restraint; do not drive or walk through these fast-flowing runoff waters."
Specifically, on Wednesday, "isolated thunderstorms" are expected over parts of Borno, Taraba, Bauchi and Jigawa in the morning hours. From noon, the same weather condition would sweep across parts of Zamfara, Sokoto, Borno, Kano, Katsina, Yobe and Bauchi states.
Across the Niger river, rains are anticipated over parts of Plateau, Niger, Kwara, Benue and the Federal Capital Territory during the morning hours, one that might likely turn to thunderstorms in Nasarawa, Plateau, Kogi, Benue and the Federal Capital Territory later in the day.
"Cloudy skies are envisaged over the inland and the coastal region in the morning with chances of rains over parts of Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Cross River, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom," NiMet said on Tuesday.
"Rains are anticipated over parts of Ebonyi, Edo, Ondo, Oyo, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Delta State during the afternoon and evening period," it added


s (not recommended!), specify the following values: RequireMutualAuthentication=0,RequireIntegrity=0,RequirePrivacy=0
You can use the following formats of UNC paths:
 - \\192.168.200.2 (the domain controller IP address)
 - \\contoso.com
 - \\DCName
Or you can allow the access to Sysvol and Netlogon independently of the UNC path (on any DC):
 - \\*\SYSVOL
 - \\*\NETLOGON
Specify all the domain (domain controller) names or IP addresses you need.
Microsoft recommends using these settings to safely access critical UNC directories:
 - \\*\NETLOGON RequireMutualAuthentication=1, RequireIntegrity=1
 - \\*\SYSVOL RequireMutualAuthentication=1, RequireIntegrity=1
Hardened UNC Paths GPO Settings - equireMutualAuthentication and RequireIntegrity
Now you just have to update the policies on your computer using gpupdate /force command and make sure that you can access Sysvol and Netlogon.
You can configure these parameters using the centralized domain GPO or the following commands on the clients: (These commands will disable Kerberos authentication when you access SYSVOL and NETLOGON folders on the domain controllers. NTLM will be used instead, and you will be able to open the protected folders on the DC by their IP address.)
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkProvider\HardenedPaths /v "\\*\SYSVOL" /d "RequireMutualAuthentication=0" /t REG_SZ /f
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkProvider\HardenedPaths /v "\\*\NETLOGON" /d "RequireMutualAuthentication=0" /t REG_SZ /f
These commands may be helpful if:
 - You have an old version of administrative templates on a domain controller (a DC running Windows Server 2008 R2/ Windows Server 2012) having no Hardened UNC Paths parameter;
 - Clients cannot get the Domain Policies settings due to Sysvol inaccessibility and you cannot deploy these registry settings.

Licensing Mode for Remote Desktop Session Host is not Configured _URL_ _URL_ Tue, 12 Jan 2021 03:00:00 +0000 _URL_ When trying to configure a new RDSH node in the RDS farm running Windows Server 2012 R2/2016/2019, you may be encountered with the following warning popup message in the system tray – Licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host is not configured.
Remote Desktop Service will stop working in 104 days.
On the RD Connection Broker server, use Server Manager to specify the Remote Desktop licensing mode and the license server.
WinServer 2012 R2 - Licensing mode for the RDSH is not configured
Judging by the error message, the RDS host is running in the grace period (during the grace period of 120 days, you can use the Remote Desktop Session Host without activating RDS licenses). When the grace period ends, users won't be able to connect to RDSH, and an error will appear in the tray:
Remote Desktop Services will stop working because this computer is past grace period and has not contacted at least a valid Windows Server 2012 license server. Click this message to open RD Session Host Server Configuration to use Licensing Diagnosis.
I have already described a similar problem in the post about the RDS error "The remote session was disconnected because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license", but the situation is a bit different here.
For more accurate diagnostic of the problem, you need to run the RD Licensing Diagnoser tool— lsdiag.msc (Administrative Tools -> Remote Desktop Services ->RD Licensing Diagnoser). Its window shows the following error:
Licenses are not available for the Remote Desktop Session Host server, and RD Licensing Diagnoser has identified licensing problem for the RD Session Host server.
Licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host is not configured.
The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
As you can see, there are no licenses available to clients, since the licensing mode is not set.
RD Licensing Diagnoser - Licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host is not configured
It means that the administrator did not specify the RDS Licensing Server and/or the licensing mode. It should be done even if the licensing type has already been specified when deploying the RDS host (Configure the deployment -> RD Licensing -> Select the Remote Desktop licensing mode).
set rd licensing mode during deployment
You can check whether the RDS license server is set using the following PowerShell commands:
$obj = gwmi -namespace "Root/CIMV2/TerminalServices" Win32_TerminalServiceSetting
$obj.GetSpecifiedLicenseServerList()
GetSpecifiedLicenseServerList
Note. The Get-RDLicenseConfiguration cmdlet may return different, erroneous data.
If the RDS icense server is not set, you can specify it with the command:
$obj.SetSpecifiedLicenseServerList("my-license-host-01.contoso.com") If you don't remember which server the RD License role is installed on, you can display a list of all RDS Licensing servers registered in the Active Directory domain using the Get-ADObject cmdlet from the PowerShell ActiveDirectory module:
Get-ADObject -Filter {objectClass -eq 'serviceConnectionPoint' -and Name -eq 'TermServLicensing'}
There are several methods to force set the RDS licensing mode.
Using the registry:
In the registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\Licensing Core change the value of the DWORD parameter with the name LicensingMode from 5 to:
 - 2 – if Per Device RDS licensing mode is used;
 - 4 – if Per User licensing is used.
rds licensing mode - LicensingMode registry parameter
You can change the registry setting manually through regedit.exe or the following PowerShell commands from the registry management module:
# Specify the RDS licensing type: 2 - Per Device CAL, 4 - Per User CAL
$RDSCALMode = 2
# RDS Licensing host name
$RDSlicServer = "my-license-host-01.contoso.com"
# Set the server name and type of licensing in the registry
New-Item "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters\LicenseServers"
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters\LicenseServers" -Name SpecifiedLicenseServers -Value $RDSlicServer -PropertyType "MultiString"
Set-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RCM\Licensing Core\" -Name "LicensingMode" -Value $RDSCALMode
After you have made the changes, restart your RDSH server.
You can also configure the RDS license server parameters using GPO (a local or a domain policy). If your RDS server is in a workgroup (not joined to the Active Directory domain), use the local Group Policy Editor gpedit.msc. Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Licensing.
We need two policies:
 - Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers – enable the policy and specify the RDS license server address. If the license server is running on the same server, type 127.0.0.1Policy - Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers
 - Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode – select the licensing mode. In our case, it is Per UserPOlicy - Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode - Per User
After restarting your server, open the RD Licensing Diagnoser and check the number of available RDS licenses and the licensing mode you have selected. If a firewall is used on your network, you must open the following ports from the RDSH host to the RDS licensing server – TCP:135, UDP:137, UDP:138, TCP:139, TCP:445, TCP:49152–65535 (RPC range).
You can check for open ports using the Test-NetConnection cmdlet. If the ports are closed on the local Windows Defender Firewall, you can open the ports using the PowerShell cmdlets from the NetSecurity module.
RD Licensing Diagnoser didn't identify any licensing problems
Also note that if, for example, Windows Server 2012 R2 and CAL for RDS 2012 R2 are installed on the RD Licensing Server, you won't be able to install RDS CAL licenses for Windows Server 2016/2019. The "Remote Desktop Licensing mode is not configured" error persists

From our humble beginnings with experimental validation work of measuring the time-dependent conductivity of dissolving salt particles we came a long way to our current, tried and tested simulation models.
We can work with arbitrarily shaped tanks and stirrers, temperatures, densitities, dissolving substances, heating, cooling and much more! Especially in industries, where tests with actual formulations can be prohibitively expensive while regulatory requirements are high, we can take a lot of uncertainty out of the engineering process with our simulations and help you to work on true industry 4.0 level.
- Liquid / liquid mixing and liquid / solid mixing with various properties (density, viscosity, ...).
- Support of batch processes, like discontinuous addition of bulk reagents.
- Heating and cooling.
- Shear stress evaluation for senstive liquids. We can also evaluated accumulated shear stress.
- Newtonian and non-newtonian liquids.
Whether you are upgrading your production or just replacing that old impeller that is not produced anymore, we can tell you how to stay below your shear stress limit and within your mixing time!

California residents might benefit from understanding more about the different types of construction defects that commonly occur. Most construction defects may be classified as subsurface deficiencies, construction deficiencies, material deficiencies or design deficiencies. These defects may be described as shortcomings furnishing the planning, design, inspection, supervision, construction or observation of construction when there is a quality of work that is beneath the buyer's reasonable expectations.
Some of the significant defects that are common include those concerning finishes, doors, glass and windows, moisture or thermal protection, electrical problems, mechanical problems, expansive soil, water intrusion or poor structural integrity. Subsurface deficiencies are common in places like Colorado and California where expansive soil may be a problematic. Building homes on surfaces lacking a stable foundation, such as hills, may cause several different problems, including subsidence or landslides. A poor foundation may also result in cracked floor slabs or other damage to the structure.
Poor artisanship or construction work can also result in a myriad of defects. Often times, mold growth may be the result of water infiltration caused by shoddy work. Other common defects caused by poor construction include rotting wood, cracked walls or foundation, and mechanical or electrical problems. Material deficiencies usually involve inferior structures like leaking windows, substandard drywall or other components used in construction that are failing. Design defects, such as the building being out of code, are issues typically attributable to architects or engineers.
People who need more information about litigating a construction defect case might benefit from consulting a lawyer. Legal counsel may be able to investigate the complaint and determine who might be found culpable for any economic damages. The lawyer might be able to help plaintiffs recover restitution that could account for loss of income and other damages resulting from the construction work.


text: The present work introduces an extended particulate filter model focusing on capabilities to cover catalytic and surface storage reactions and to serve as a virtual multi-functional reactor/separator. The model can be classified as a transient, non-isothermal 1D+1D two-channel model. The applied modeling framework offers the required modeling depth to investigate arbitrary catalytic reaction schemes and it follows the computational requirement of running in real-time. The trade-off between model complexity and computational speed is scalable. The model is validated with the help of an analytically solved reference and the model parametrization is demonstrated by simulating experimentally given temperatures of a heat-up measurement. The detailed 1D+1D model is demonstrated in a concept study comparing the impact of different spatial washcoat distributions. The generic model is further used to describe a diesel particulate filter coated with functionalities for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions (SDPF). This dedicated model, as a part of a full diesel exhaust line, is combined with a passenger car vehicle and thermodynamic engine model. The whole system model is assessed in office PC simulation regarding result plausibility and computational performance during the New European Drive Cycle and a randomly assembled drive cycle. The real-time capability of the full model is demonstrated by running it on the NI VeriStand real-time simulation environment. The presented type of system model contributes to answer upcoming questions in the context of real driving emissions (RDE) by means of simulation.

Exhibition of "The Frozen Tombs of the Altai Mountains"
Open to the public from Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The towering, jagged Altai Mountains stretch some 2,100 km across China, Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan, the Russian section of this mountain range having been inscribed as a natural site on the World Heritage List in 1998. The Altai Mountains bear unique witness to the ancient Scythian culture that flourished in the Eurasian steppe during the 1st millenium BCE.
Today, however, the permafrost of the Altai Mountains is endangered by climate change, and the frozen tombs are particularly threatened. Alerted by these developments, archaeologists, climatologists, geographers and geocryologists drew UNESCO's attention to this urgent issue and requested its assistance. Subsequently, a project, the Preservation of the Frozen Tombs of the Altai Mountains, was set up under the UNESCO/Flanders Funds-in-Trust in 2005.
This project proposed the drawing up of an inventory of the kurgans (burial mounds) in the Altai Mountains and the production of accurate maps using advanced satellite imaging techniques.
This exhibition will showcase the environment of the Altai Mountains, the UNESCO project outputs as well as various research projects in this field.

Budworm Tracker
The Budworm Tracker Program (BTP) is a community science program that helps monitor spruce budworm moth populations throughout the vast forests of eastern Canada.
With the current spruce budworm outbreak looming to the north in Québec, HFP researchers and volunteers are working together to track outbreak rise and spread in Atlantic Canada. Volunteers are located across the six eastern Canadian provinces, in the state of Maine, and even on the small French island of St. Pierre de Miquelon.
In a nutshell, volunteers receive a free BTP kit with a pre-assembled moth trap in early summer. They then hang the trap in a tree near their residence and collect the trapped moths at least once per week (or more often if they are willing and able).
At the end of summer, once moths have completed their flight period, volunteers place all collected moths and data into a pre-paid envelope and drop it off at their local post office. These packages come directly to our labs where we can process and analyze the results
Why we need your help
Despite decades of research, we remain uncertain about what impact dispersing spruce budworm moths have on outbreak spread. Our Budworm Trackers play a major role in providing the data needed to resolve these mysteries. You might be wondering, "Are there many spruce budworm moths in my woodlot/forest/backyard? Are they from local populations feeding on local trees, or are they dispersers that have flown in from distant outbreak areas?" We share your curiosity and concerns. By joining us, together we can try to answer these and other questions.

What Does VR Mean on Nikon Lens?
What Does VR Mean on Nikon Lens?
If you are new to Nikon cameras, you must have come across the VR code and asked yourself, "What does VR mean on Nikon lenses?" A quick lookup on the Internet will tell you that it stands for Vibration Reduction. Simply put, it is an anti-camera shake technology that also goes by the name Image Stabilization (IS) in Canon cameras and Optical SteadyShot (OSS) in Sony cameras.
While that seems to tell you what VR is for sufficiently, we'd like to go further and explain just a little bit more of the anti-camera shake feature for Nikon lenses and what it truly means for you and your shots.
What Does VR Mean on Nikon Lenses?
Long before the invention of anti-camera shake features in cameras, blurred shots were a common problem for long lenses, handheld shooting, and dim lighting. While the use of a tripod, faster shutter speed, and higher ISO helped. Still, a good number of the shots were wasted.
In the year 2000, Nikon found a solution to this problem, making way for higher success in those conditions through its version of the camera shake correction mechanism, the Vibration Reduction (VR) technology.
The VR technology is an optical innovation that provides the equivalent of three to four stops compensation, which affords you sharper photos. Through built-in special motion sensors in the lens itself, it corrects lens, camera, and hand vibration when you're shooting at slow shutter speeds.
Because of the extra three to four stops it affords you, the VR technology also lets you play around with the aperture or exposure metering function of your camera. On an overcast day, for example, you can use an f/8 aperture instead of an f/2 for greater depth-of-field. Similarly, you can also use a lower ISO setting for higher image quality.
While VR doesn't solve all blurring problems, it greatly increases the percentage for getting crisp and more explicit pictures. Shooting in very slow shutter speeds, for example, will still result in overlapping images. Working with VR though, in such case, still brings an improvement.
The same is true when taking action shots or when you're working with moving objects since the science behind the tech only reduces your motion, not your subject's. There is something though that you can do as a workaround. If you couple VR technology with faster shutter speeds and higher ISO, you can up your chances of striking gold. Using a continuous shutter mode, too, will fetch you more clear shots to choose from.
How Does VR work?
The anti-shake technology of Nikon is different compared to other brands. Nikon's VR is integrated into the lens itself, whereas other brands have them in the camera body.
So, how does it work? Once the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the built-in VR sensor and lens group are activated. Two angular velocity sensors send velocity data to the lens microcomputer that computes the compensation needed to correct the detected vertical (pitch) and horizontal (yaw) movements. Then, the data is sent to the voice coil motors (VCM) that move the VR lens unit according to the algorithm. And when the shutter-release button is fully pressed, another algorithm is used to maximize blur correction during exposure.
Nikon has two main reasons for integrating the VR technology into the lens. First is it to provide you a clear and stable image right from the viewfinder. This makes focusing on your subject and exposure metering smooth, comfortable, and precise. Second is that VR units are optimized for each lens. Micro, zoom, and telephoto lens don't get the same treatment but are fitted with VR units specific to its function. With other brands where the VR counterpart is in the camera body, it provides you a one-size-fits-all solution.
Whether it makes a significant difference if the image stabilization technology is in the lens or the body is a subject for another discussion. Still, you have to be wary of the phrase "anti-shake," which is being used loosely by other brands that get away with no real image stabilization mechanism. What they have is just a semblance of it, achieved by boosting the ISO that results in faster shutter speeds.
When Working on a Tripod, Do You Need to Turn Off VR?
If you are using a tripod, then turning on or off the VR will not have any effect on your shots. Remember, a camera shake correction technology like VR serves as a "tripod" or image stabilizer.
There are times though when you can still benefit from the VR mechanism even if you're already using a tripod. Windy conditions are one of them. Unstable footing for your tripod is another. Working with long lenses is another case, where mirror or shutter movement can cause vibration and affect your shot. In fact, Nikon's three super-telephoto lenses offer a tripod vibration reduction mode; whereas, with other Nikon lenses you can choose only between normal and active modes. Check out our article about top 3 best Tripod picks.
How Does VR and VR II Differ?
Obviously, VR II is an upgrade of the original VR technology. Besides that, here are the specific details you need to know:
 - VR II zoom lenses come with a lock switch on the side to prevent "creeping," which was an annoying problem for zoom lenses with the original VR technology. The lock translates to no unintentional lens adjustment when you have the camera slung over your shoulder or when you're shooting upwards.
 - The first VR technology fetches you three stops compensation; whereas, VR II gets you the equivalent of four stops.
 - VR II offers you better image stabilization and image quality than the older version.
 - VR II lenses also have the quieter operation than its predecessor.
So what does VR mean on Nikon lenses? It means convenient and precise focusing and exposure metering. With the need to use a tripod reduced, it also translates to more mobility. And most importantly, it means sharper and better quality images right from the viewfinder to the actual shots with the correction of the lens, camera, and hand movement.

New Technology Aims to Prevent Drunk Driving
Cars and trucks one day may have built-in blood alcohol detectors, The Wall Street Journal reports. Research on the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) is progressing more quickly than expected, and could be available within eight to 10 years, experts say.
The technology could be built into a vehicle's dashboard or controls. It would check a driver's blood alcohol level, and would not start if the level were above the legal limit. Researchers developing the system are working with the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The next goal would be to develop a commercially produced vehicle that could drive a drunk owner home, the article notes.
About one-third of drivers killed in car crashes have blood alcohol levels of 0.08 or higher, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Devices called alcohol interlocks are already available to disable a car if the driver is intoxicated. They are primarily used for people who have been caught with blood alcohol levels above the legal limit. About 16 states require people convicted of drunk driving to install these devices in their vehicles. Drivers must blow into a tube to verify they are sober before they can start the car.
The new technology being developed would not require blowing into a tube. It could be embedded in a starter button or shift lever.
A proposed federal transportation bill would give the NHTSA's alcohol detector program $24 million over two years. The funding would allow the agency to equip 100 or more cars with prototypes of the new alcohol detection devices. One device would measure alcohol in the driver's breath, while the other would take a reading from the driver's skin.

The Link Between Community & Renewable Energy Generation
Irelands communities are leading the way of change in answer to the climate emergency, particularly in how they influence energy, with the benefits of reducing dependency on fossil fuels, improving air quality, and creating opportunities to develop systems that can financially support sustainable initiatives identified through Energy Master Planning.
One such mechanism that can help accelerate this is through RESS, otherwise known as the Renewable Electricity Support Scheme. According to the Programme for Government, the Climate Action Plan 2019, and the National Energy and Climate Plan 2021–2030, renewable electricity is a crucial component of Ireland's response to challenging climate change. The RESS programme creates the groundwork for an affordable renewable electricity market while ensuring Ireland is on track to reach our ambitious climate commitments. As renewable energy sources become more affordable, this will help the green economy expand, create sustainable communities and jobs, and ultimately benefit consumers.
RESS was created to encourage Irish investment in the production of renewable energy. By 2030, Ireland has set a target of 80% renewable electricity and a 32% EU-wide target for renewable energy. These objectives will be accomplished with the aid of this efficient, competitive auction-based structure.
Communities are strongly encouraged to explore renewable electricity generation through the community component of RESS. This is with respect to projects ranging from 0.5-5MW in size. At 100% community ownership, this project is primarily designed to benefit the locality. Particularly in rural Ireland, the community commitments in RESS strive to support sustainable community energy initiatives. To facilitate this, a separate community category within the RESS auction exists to give a route to market for community-led generation projects. The first two auctions resulted in twenty-two community projects gaining support.
The Community Enabling Framework, which offers end-to-end support to develop a community energy project in Ireland, will have a significant impact on communities nationwide and is one of the major community provisions included in RESS.
The Department of Environment, Climate & Communications (DECC) has designated SEAI as the implementation organisation for this Framework, which offers a variety of supports, such as:
- Financial Assistance
- Community Support for Mentoring
To avail of the Community Enabling Frameworks supports, a community must first register as a Sustainable Energy Community. This can be done by first reaching out to your local County mentor, who will assist in this process.
On behalf of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, ORS act as the Regional Coordinators and County Mentors for the Midlands region, supporting communities in establishing Sustainable Energy Community committees, hosting workshops and events alongside providing technical support in energy-related areas such as domestic and non-domestic retrofits, renewable technologies, sustainable transport, grant funding etc. Our team of community energy engineers work with the respective local authorities, development associations, and energy stakeholders to support community-led sustainable development through SEAI, Just Transition and Community Benefit Funding from large-scale renewable energy sites such as wind and solar.
As part of a recent event, ORS community energy engineers organised a site trip to Templederry in County Tipperary, a 100% community-owned wind farm. A tour and information session was provided by Community Power and members of the local community included in the project, informing our SECs on the steps involved in Community Renewable Energy projects of this scale.
If you would like to find out more about Sustainable Energy Communities in your area or would like to learn more about many of the SEAI Community supports, please contact our Community Energy Engineer Laurence O'Reilly at _EMAIL_.

by Leslie Brothers
A psychiatrist who has received international recognition for her research on the neural basis of primate social cognition, Leslie Brothers, M.D., offers here a major argument about the social dimension of the human brain, drawing on both her own work and a wealth of information from research laboratories, neurosurgical clinics, and psychiatric wards.Brothers offers the tale of Robinson Crusoe as a metaphor for neuroscience's classic (and flawed) notion of the brain: a starkly isolated figure, working, praying, writing alone. But the famous castaway of literature, she notes, came from society and returned to society. So too with our brains: they have evolved a specialized capacity for exchanging signals with other brains--they are designed to be social. This can be seen in the brain's sensitive attunement to the meanings of facial expressions and physical gestures and the way it assigns mental lives to physical bodies--a feat we too often take for granted. Brothers describes fascinating case studies that show that certain kinds of brain damage can destroy a patient's ability to interpret faces, leaving him or her with the sense that they are surrounded by zombies. She takes us down to the level of the individual neuron, exploring the response of brain cells to social events. Perhaps most important, she connects neuroscience, psychiatry, and sociology as never before, showing how our daily interaction creates an organized social world--a network of brains that generates meaningful behavior and thought. Our emotions and our sense of self have no existence outside of a social context. Brothers conducts her argument with grace and style. By broadening our approach to the brain, this groundbreaking book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the human mind.

A book which should help to shift the paradigm of consciousness from isolationist to interactivist, "Friday's Footprint" is a masterpiece in challenging the old ideas of brain science. We naturally think of consciousness (and mind) as isolated objects like our brains, but that is too limiting a perspective, given the almost completely social nature of the mind. Language and social interaction have conditioned us well, meaning that there is no longer any point in trying to put our finger on "consciousness" when it is just as much "out there" in society as inside our heads.
Some people particularly fearful of change may want to hold onto their belief in the representational notion of truth (that one's opinion can somehow "correspond" to a "reality" out there), but Dr. Brothers leaves no room for such beliefs in the socially-conditioned brain: "Language simply embodies the shared beliefs and practices of the community of language users." (p. 101) We're simply acting out narratives and roles, which is normal, but let's not assume that such socially acceptable terms as thoughts, emotions, self, mind and so on really have a separate, definite existence.
Dr. Brothers' book requires as much of a shift in one's thinking as it did the brain researchers who discovered socially responsive cells; as it does those "believers" in the strict objectivity of science who must realize that science is socially and culturally influenced; as it did Robinson Crusoe, alone for years when he finally found proof of the existence of another human being: Friday's footprint.
This book is only a collection of loosely coupled facts. Dr. Brothers doesn't show a coherent theme in his book. Although he seems to be saying that the human brain research should be pursued in social context, he doesn't give me strong evidence -- only some incomplete arguments.
He is swaying between materialism and social constructionism. For example, when talking about "mind theory," in chapter 1 he supports the materialism but in Ch 7 he supports social constructionism. He says the research that combines the two perspectives is a new paradigm but then he just stops right here. Nothing is further explained when I am looking forward to it.
Ch8, the chapter of emotion, is especially strange. He keeps saying that the current emotion research fails but gives no evidence. His logic is that emotion is a socially constructed category so emotion should not exists in "scientific researches." If this logic is true then why he supports the research of "mind theory," which, in his view, is also a socially constructed category?
This book is confusing and incomplete. Besides, his seemingly main theme, that human mind is both a social product and creator of social behavior, is not a new perspective, either (e.g. Maturana's structural coupling theory). I don't think this book is suitable for picky readers.


Ibiki morino by alakazum-d4e4wsw.png
Ibiki Morino is the supporting character of the Naruto franchise. He is a tokubetsu jōnin of Konohagakure and the commanding officer of the Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force, Konoha Gomon/Jinmon Butai).
He was voiced by Taiten Kusunoki in the Japanese version, and by Kim Strauss in part 1, Daniel Woren in Twelve Guardian Ninja Arc, David Rasner in Akatsuki Suppression Mission, and Christopher Corey Smith in Pain's Assault Arc in the English version.
Ibiki is a very strict person, and has even been described as being a sadist by Kakashi Hatake. Compounded with this is his belief that pain is an effective form of communication, which he employed whenever he carries out his duties of torture and interrogation. Nonetheless, he did confess to his subordinates during the Konoha Crush that he was scared of Orochimaru as a child, noting him to be somewhat "inhuman, but in human form". He was also visibly shocked when Kisame massacred his own comrades to protect information. Nevertheless Ibiki has shown a more relaxed side, which shocked Temari during the Chūnin Exams due to the drastic change in personality. He also laughed after finding out that he had passed someone who didn't answer a single question in the exam. Despite his harsh interrogation methods, Ibiki is shown to also be quite reasonable. One example was when Karin agreed to forfeit all information regarding Kabuto, Sasuke, and the Akatsuki in exchange if she was fed a fried pork cutlet bowl, which Ibiki agreed to, even though it would take two days for a delivery and did not press the interrogation any further. He was noted to be fond of Naruto due to the child's energy and ability to inspire confidence, as well as his signature antics and sense of humour.
Ibiki is a master of interrogation both physically and psychologically, and plays an important part in the extracting of information, as he interrogates suspects and prisoners of war. He has the ability to subject people to great suffering without ever using physical torture. He has complete knowledge of human psychology; by attacking a person's mind, he can gain control over their spirit. His interrogation skills are so reputed that, once he discovered that Ibiki was the one going to interrogate them, Kisame Hoshigaki immediately decided to kill all his comrades of the Cypher Division to prevent them from revealing any information. He is also a sharp individual, able to easily tell if someone is lying, quickly seeing through Karin's elaborate story. In addition to being a master manipulator, Ibiki also has a strong resolution. In the anime, even after being horribly tortured by Aoi Rokushō, Ibiki never revealed any information to the latter, who years later openly acknowledged Ibiki's fortitude.
In the anime, during his fight against Pain's Animal Path, he is shown skilfully using the Summoning Technique, which he uses to summon a variety of torture devices, including an Iron Maiden and a Torture Chamber. Ironically, these summons are modelled after engimono statues — lucky charms that are commonly used to bless shrines and businesses with good fortune. Also some of these summoning were a double edge sword, where the summoner will receive the same amount of pain as the opponent. He claims this has something to do with becoming equals through pain (ironically being Pain's philosophy). He also carries a great deal of hidden weaponry and tools on his person, such as a piece of flint hidden in his molars, which he can use to ignite flammable substances, as well as a small dagger hidden in the heel of his boot. He has also shown some skill in taijutsu, capable of tripping and then injuring Aoi Rokushō even though he was battered and still tied to a chair.

autonomously at the water surface with a foam-like cement float. The cement secreted by the animal contains numerous gas-filled cells of different size. When several individuals share one float, their size and not their number is crucial for the production of both volume and mass of the float. The gas content within the cells of the foam gives positive static buoyancy to the whole float. The volume of the float, the gas volume and the positive static buoyancy are positively correlated. The density of the cement float without gas is greater than that of seawater. This study shows that the secreted cement consists of more than 90% water and the gas volume is on average 18.5%. Our experiments demonstrate that the intact foam-like cement float is sealed to the surrounding water. PMID:25657839

 The biogeography and ecology of the species of Chthamalus present on the west coast of America are described, using data from 51 localities from Alaska to Panama, together with their zonation on the shore with respect to that of other barnacles. The species present were C. dalli, Pilsbry 1916, C. fissus, Darwin, 1854, C. anisopoma Pilsbry 1916 and four species in the C. panamensis complex. The latter are C. panamensis Pilsbry, 1916, C. hedgecocki, Pitombo & Burton, 2007, C. alani nom. nov. (formerly C. southwardorum Pitombo & Burton, 2007) and C. newmani sp. nov.). These four species were initially separated by enzyme electrophoresis. They could only be partially separated by DNA bar coding but may be separated using morphological characters. PMID:26958842

 The mitochondrial genome of the barnacle Striatobalanus amaryllis (Sessilia: family Archaeobalanidae) is 15,063 bp in length. All the 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) initiate with ATD codon (ATG, ATA or ATT). Four PCGs (COX3, ND3, ND4 and ND4L) end with incomplete stop codon (T- -). Four PCGs (ND1, ND4, ND4L and ND5) are encoded on the light strand (underlined below). Refer to the pancrustacean ground pattern, there are not less than seven tRNAs rearranged in the S. amaryllis mitochondrial genome, including tRNA(Ala), tRNA(Glu)/tRNA(Ser)((AGY)), tRNA(Pro)/tRNA(Thr), tRNA(Pro)/tRNA(Thr), tRNA(Tyr), tRNA(Lys), tRNA(Gln) and tRNA(Cys). Three tRNAs (tRNA(Lys), tRNA(Gln) and tRNA(Cys)) are rearranged between S. amaryllis and Tetraclita japonica (Sessilia: Tetraclitidae), meanwhile one tRNA (tRNA(Cys)) inverted from one strand to another. Compared with Megabalanus volcano (Sessilia: Balanidae), an inversion of one large gene block is identified (including three PCGs and three tRNAs) in S. amaryllis mitochondrial genome: tRNA(Phe)-ND5-tRNA(His)-ND4-ND4L-tRNA(Pro).

 Human activities involving water may result in a crime scene. Typically, death may be due to natural causes, homicide, or mass disasters. Decomposition in water is a complex process where many factors may interplay. Human remains in water are subject to many potential interactions, depending upon the remains themselves, the type of water and the characteristics of the water. A number of studies are focused on the decomposition process of the corpse in water, on the identification of the post mortem submersion interval (PMSI) and on the diagnosis of drowning, but very few studies consider the fate of floating remains in any aquatic environment. The following case describes a corpse found on a shore of the Tyrrhenian Sea (South West of Italy, Calabria Region). The corpse and the soles of his shoes were colonized by the barnacle Lepas anatifera L. (Crustacea: Cirripedia: Pedunculata). The analyses of the barnacles present on the corpse aided in the evaluation of the floating time of the corpse which assisted in estimating the minimum time since death. PMID:25538026

 The complete mitochondrial genome of the intertidal barnacle Tetraclita serrata Darwin, 1854 (Crustacea: Maxillopoda: Sessilia) is presented. The genome is a circular molecule of 15,200 bp, which encodes 13 PCGs, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. All non-coding regions are 591 bp in length, with the longest one speculated as the control region (389 bp), which is located between srRNA and trnK. The overall A+T content of the mitochondrial genome of T. serrata is 65.4%, which is lowest among all the eight mitochondrial genomes reported from sessile barnacles. There are variations of initiation and stop codons in the reported sessile barnacle mitochondrial genomes. Large-scale gene rearrangements are found in these genomes as compared to the pancr

History and visit the gardens of the Champ de Mars in Paris
The gardens of the Champ- de-Mars is the largest public gardens that are open in Paris in the 7th district . Between the military school southeast and the Eiffel Tower to the northwest , this public garden covers 24.5 ha . Rich two hundred years of history, the Champ- de- Mars is , throughout the year , the happiness of Parisian walkers and tourists with a wide range of activities . This charming place is known for hosting the Festival of the Federation 14 July 1790 and to witness the shooting of the Champ de Mars on 17 July 1791. Jean Sylvain Bailly was guillotined here November 12, 1793 . It celebrated the feast of the Supreme Being , 8 June of the following year . In the center of the square stood the altar of the Fatherland .
Before the Revolution, the Champ de Mars was a plain devoted to this crop . It was not until the construction of a military school in 1765 to see the birth of the project to create the room for maneuver . The choice of the creation of the plaza to the north led to the construction of the beautiful facade . Thereafter, on the left bank , the island became part of the bridge Swans Swan . During the Revolution , the Champ- de-Mars took the name of Champ de la Federation , and the Champ- de-la- Reunion. September 20 , 1790, the garden hosted the funeral on the shooting of Nancy August 31, 1790. A massacre in which André Desiles lost his life .
On July 17, 1791 Champ- de-Mars witnessed a massacre that led to the death of 50 demonstrators. July 15 , 1791, the petition of the Cordeliers was brought on the altar of homeland. A crowd rushed them to sign it massively . It was written in order to nullify the decrees of 15 and 16 July, which the king restore all its rights. Out of fear , the Constituent Assembly gave the order to disperse the crowd. Jean Sylvain Dailly , Mayor of Paris , then declared martial law while La Fayette tried in vain to convince the protesters to disperse . A cavalry charge was dispatched to disperse the crowd with gunfire . The massacre only aggravated the discord between popular movement , republican and monarchist . The sans-culottes vowed , for their part, a hatred Bailly .
On June 8 , 1794, Jacques -Louis David organized the celebration of the Supreme Being at the Champ de Mars to mark the climax of the French Revolution. On this occasion, an artificial rock on top of which stood the tree of Liberty symbolized the unity and collective commitment to the Revolution. The party was chaired by Maximilien de Robespierre. Under the Directory , other smaller parties were held at the Champ de Mars , the 9th of Thermidor , the feast of old age, the feast of Agriculture, etc. . On December 30, 1793, the feast of Victories in honor of the capture of Toulon is organized . September 22 , 1796, the garden has hosted the celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the Republic. These celebrations were accompanied by various activities such as shopping and leisure walking, chariots , horse , struggles and orchestral events . Under the Empire , December 3, 1804 , the day of his coronation , Napoleon was at the Champ de Mars, the distribution of eagles. On 1 May 1815 , the garden has received the proclamation of additional constitutions of the Empire Act.

Using OUTPUT with DML statements
The OUTPUT clause allows you to combine DML statements with a kind of SELECT statement on the rows affected by the DML operation. This is a powerful way to visualize what records were touched by your statement, or an easy way to build an auditing mechanism.
Syntax
An OUTPUT clause is added to an existing DML statement (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE or MERGE). It works as if combining a SELECT statement on the affected rows of the DML statement, using the inserted and deleted special tables (as you may remember from triggers) to get to which information was changed in a DML operation. Another benefit is that you can (atomically!) retrieve IDENTITY values or calculated column values for new records, without having to requery the table again.
The syntax is really simple:
OUTPUT deleted.x AS x_before, inserted.x AS x_after
This works like a SELECT statement and returns the column x as it was before the update, and x as it is after. OUTPUT can also be used to write to another database object by adding an INTO keywork, like this:
OUTPUT deleted.x AS x_before, inserted.x AS x_after
INTO dbo.changelog_table (x_before, x_after)
Used with INSERT
In an INSERT statement, the OUTPUT clause is placed after the INSERT header, but before VALUES() or SELECT. In INSERT operations, the "deleted" table is not available. Only the "inserted" table can be used.
INSERT INTO Sales.CurrencyRate (CurrencyRateDate, FromCurrencyCode,
 ToCurrencyCode, AverageRate, EndOfDayRate)
OUTPUT inserted.CurrencyRateID
VALUES ({d '2008-07-02'}, 'USD', 'EUR', 0.9962, 0.9962);
.. or with the INSERT INTO .. SELECT pattern:
INSERT INTO Sales.CurrencyRate (CurrencyRateDate, FromCurrencyCode,
 ToCurrencyCode, AverageRate, EndOfDayRate)
OUTPUT inserted.*
SELECT DATEADD(yy, 2, CurrencyRateDate) AS CurrencyRateDate,
 FromCurrencyCode, ToCurrencyCode, AverageRate, EndOfDayRate
FROM Sales.CurrencyRate
WHERE CurrencyRateDate>={d '2007-01-01'} AND
 CurrencyRateDate<={d '2007-12-31'} AND
 FromCurrencyCode='USD' AND
 ToCurrencyCode='EUR';
Used with UPDATE
In the UPDATE statement, the OUTPUT clause is placed after the SET instructions, but before WHERE or FROM.
UPDATE Sales.CurrencyRate
SET AverageRate=AverageRate*1.01,
 EndOfDayRate=EndOfDayRate*1.01
OUTPUT deleted.CurrencyRateDate,
 deleted.AverageRate AS oldAvgRate, inserted.AverageRate AS newAvgRate,
 deleted.EndOfDayRate AS oldEodRate, inserted.EndOfDayRate AS newEodRate
WHERE CurrencyRateDate>={d '2008-01-01'} AND
 FromCurrencyCode='USD' AND
 ToCurrencyCode='EUR';
Note how both the "inserted" and "deleted" special tables are available. The "deleted" table contains each record as it was before the DML statement, the "inserted" shows the record after the statement.
Used with DELETE
Finally, in the DELETE statement, OUTPUT is placed after FROM, before WHERE:
DELETE FROM Sales.CurrencyRate
OUTPUT deleted.*
WHERE ToCurrencyCode='SAR';
With the DELETE statement, OUTPUT obviously cannot use the "inserted" special table, as there have not been any updates or inserts made to the table, only records deleted.
Using OUTPUT INTO to write changes to a table
One of the best uses for OUTPUT is when it's used with the INTO keyword. This allows you to insert the OUTPUT recordset into a table in the database, which is perfectly for audit logs or other forms of history or backup tables.
In the following example, we're actually atomically moving rows from one table to another, using a DELETE statement with an OUTPUT.. INTO pattern:
DELETE FROM Sales.CurrencyRate
OUTPUT deleted.*, GETDATE() AS MovedDate, SUSER_SNAME() AS MovedBy
INTO Sales.DeletedCurrencyRates (CurrencyRateID, CurrencyRateDate,
 FromCurrencyCode, ToCurrencyCode, AverageRate, EndOfDayRate,
 ModifiedDate, MovedDate, MovedBy)
WHERE ToCurrencyCode='SAR';
Note in the example how we've added our own auditing information in the MovedDate and MovedBy columns.
Another important distinction: OUTPUT INTO does not work like SELECT INTO – it does not create a new table, but rather inserts rows into an existing one.

The seeds should be collected from healthy, mature plants which are prolific producers of fruits with desirable characteristics. Only large seeds are used. Immediately after extraction from the fruit, the seeds are washed in water to remove the slimy coating around the seeds. The horny part of the pericarp is also removed to hasten germination. As a general rule, the seeds are sown immediately without drying because they are recalcitrant (click to read Sexual Propagation: Orthodox vs. Recalcitrant Seeds). If not possible, however, the seeds can be stored in air-tight plastic containers at 20 C to maintain their viability for about 3 months. In sowing, the seeds are laid flat or with their hilum facing downward. Germination should begin within 10 days. It is expected that 80-100% of the seeds will have germinated within 35 to 40 days after sowing.

ISDA has published FpML 5.9 First Working Draft
Changes compared to FpML 5.8 Recommendation (build#8):
- Equity Derivatives:
- Added support for Equity Volatility Swaps under ISDA 2011 and 2002 Definitions.
- Schema tightening - Certain structures were tightened to make the schema less ambiguous and improve guidance for implementers. This results however in non-backward compatible changes that should be viewed as fixes of existing flaws. As such, changes should not invalidate any existing, meaningful document.
- Within CalculationFromObservation type: Instead of sequence, create a mandatory choice of [InitialLevel and initialLevelSource] and initialLevelSource. The first branch would be used only for AgreedInitialPrice. If initiallevel is present this would infer AgreedInitialPrice, initialLevelSource= AgreedInitialPrice can be optionally provided for clarity. The second branch would be used for elections other than AgreedInitialPriceprice.
- Within extraordinaryEvents type, deprecated tenderOffer Boolean element in favor of using just tenderOfferEvents. Documented the tenderOfferEvents usage, as "If tenderOfferEvents is NOT provided, No Tender Offer is applicable. If provided, Tender Offer is applicable, all events within EquityCorporateEvents type are turned on and the consequences must be provided.
- Within EquityValuation, grouped into an optional choice elements: futuresPriceValution and optionsPriceValuation. Rationale: they should be mutually exclusive as they both answer the same question.
- Renamed ClassifiedPayment to ClassifiablePayment. Rationale: one can choose not to classify it. Note: under FpML guideline, it is considered a backward compatible change. The change affected products: CorrelationSwap, VarianceSwap, VolatilitySwap.
- Regulatory Reporting:
- Support for SEC SBSR rules (See recordkeeping example ex145)
- The following issues have been resolved:
