Why you suffer disappointments in love and relationships
Unfaithful wife.jpg
Have you ever wondered why some people have it rosy in love and relationships? The answers you seek aren't all with astrologers and will never depend on luck, fate or your desire to love and be loved.
New findings from researchers show that everyone's love life is mostly a reflection of the mother's romantic history—with regards to fidelity, respect and loyalty, among other personal characteristics.
According to Claire Kamp Dush, a lead researcher and associate professor of human sciences and sociology at Ohio State University, mothers are crucial in determining their children's love life because every woman has some certain attributes that make her desirable—more or less—in the marriage market.
'These attractive or unappealing characteristics also make women better or worse at relationships,' Dush explained, 'and children inherit these attitudes, skills and behaviors at a very young age, eventually taking every bit of it with them into their relationships and marriages.'
The team of researchers in Dush's team examined results from data collected in a nationwide survey involving over 7,100 participants in a period of 24 years.
Findings show that survey participants are most likely to follow the same path if their mothers had rocky marriages or enjoyed romantic relationships with their partners.
The results also showed that women who spent more years cohabitating with their partners "before or without marriage" are most likely to have timid kids who end up as heart-breakers.
Dush described cohabitation as "an attractive, lower-commitment type of relationship" which does not benefit children, especially if a mother stayed in such relationships for a longer period of time. 'Participants from such mothers often grow used to cohabiting relationships and are most likely to break up with their lovers for lack of commitment,' she wrote in PLoS One in November.

Reaper drone
Description
Reaper drone The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper is an unmanned aerial vehicle, capable of remote controlled or autonomous flight operations, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems for use by the United States Air Force, the United States Navy, the CIA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Royal Air Force, and the Italian Air Force. The MQ-9 and other UAVs are referred to as Remotely Piloted Vehicles/Aircraft by the U.S. Air Force to indicate their human ground controllers. The MQ-9 is the first hunter-killer UAV designed for long-endurance, high-altitude surveillance. The MQ-9 is a larger, heavier, and more capable aircraft than the earlier MQ-1 Predator; it can be controlled by the same ground systems used to control MQ-1s. The Reaper has a 950-shaft-horsepower turboprop engine, far more powerful than the Predator's 115 hp piston engine. The power increase allows the Reaper to carry 15 times more ordnance payload and cruise at almost three times the speed of the MQ-1. The aircraft is monitored and controlled by aircrew in the Ground Control Station, including weapons employment. The aircraft can also fly pre-programmed routes autonomously. (via Freebase)

Paper Whistle
Introduction: Paper Whistle
Okay, so this is probably the easiest, cheapest and yet working whistle! Enjoy! :)
Step 1: Materials
All you need is:
A piece of paper (scrap, colored, anything, an it doesn't have to big either)
Scissors, for the obvious reason of cutting paper. You can do the fold-and-rip method if you wish.
Step 2: Cut Out a Rectangle
Just cut out a rectangle.
The measurement doesn't really matter, but it must be a rectangle, not square. If you want to be sure, the length of the side should be somewhere between 2 to 3 times the length of the width.
Step 3: Fold in Half
First fold the paper in half (one width should touch the other width)
Step 4: Fold in Fours
Fold the paper now into fourths.
These folds should be in the opposite direction to the fold you made for the halves.
Step 5: Cut a Triangle
On the first fold you made (the half), cut a small triangle. It should be at the center of the fold.
In the photo, the triangle is colored in with black for your convenience to see.
Step 6: Blow
Place your lips on the other side of the triangle and blow. You will need to hold onto the paper no both sides.
The picture shows in red the area your lips should be.
Hope this helped! :)

- charcuterie (n.)
- 1858, from French charcuterie, literally "pork-butcher's shop," from charcuter (16c.), from obsolete char (Modern French chair) cuite "cooked flesh," from chair "meat" (Old French char, from Latin carnem; see carnage) + cuit, past participle of cuire "to cook." Cf. French charcutier "pork butcher; meat roaster, seller of cooked (not raw) meat."
- chard (n.)
- 1650s, from French carde "chard" (14c.), perhaps via Provençal, from Latin carduus "thistle, artichoke" (see harsh).
- Chardonnay (n.)
- type of wine, 1907, from French chardonnay, originally the type of grape used to make the wine, supposedly named for the town of Chardonnay, Saône-et-Loire, in eastern France. The name is said to be from Latin Cardonnacum.
- charette (n.)
- also charrette, c.1400, "a chariot, a cart," from Old French charrete "wagon, small cart" (12c.), diminutive of charre (see car). Meaning "collaborative session" is by 1982.
- charge (v.)
- early 13c., "to load, fill," from Old French chargier "to load, burden, weigh down," from Late Latin carricare "to load a wagon or cart," from Latin carrus "wagon" (see car). Senses of "entrust," "command," "accuse" all emerged in Middle English and were found in Old French. Sense of "rush in to attack" is 1560s, perhaps through earlier meaning of "load a weapon" (1540s). Related: Charged; charging. Chargé d'affaires was borrowed from French, 1767, literally "charged with affairs."
- charge (n.)
- c.1200, "a load, a weight," from Old French charge "load, burden; imposition," from chargier "to load, to burden" (see charge (v.)). Meaning "responsibility, burden" is mid-14c. (e.g. take charge, late 14c.; in charge, 1510s), which progressed to "pecuniary burden, cost, burden of expense" (mid-15c.), and then to "price demanded for service or goods" (1510s). Legal sense of "accusation" is late 15c.; earlier "injunction, order" (late 14c.). Electrical sense is from 1767. Slang meaning "thrill, kick" (American English) is from 1951.
- chargeable (adj.)
- late 15c., "burdensome," from charge (v.) + -able. Sense of "subject to a tax or payment" is from 1610s; that of "liable to be made an expense" is from 1640s; that of "liable to be charged" (with an offense, etc.) is from 1660s.
- charger (n.)
- late 15c., "one who loads," agent noun from charge (v.). Meaning "horse ridden in charging" is from 1762.
- chariot (n.)
- mid-14c., from Old French charriot "wagon" (13c.), augmentative of char "car," from Late Latin carrum "chariot" (see car).
- charioteer (n.)
- late 14c., from Old French charioteur, from charriot (see chariot). As a verb from 1802. Related: Charioteered; charioteering.
- charisma (n.)
- "gift of leadership, power of authority," c.1930, from German, used in this sense by Max Weber (_PHONE_) in "Wirtschaft u. Gesellschaft" (1922), from Greek kharisma "favor, divine gift," from kharizesthai "to show favor to," from kharis "grace, beauty, kindness" (Charis was the name of one of the three attendants of Aphrodite) related to khairein "to rejoice at," from PIE root *gher- "to desire, like" (see hortatory). More mundane sense of "personal charm" recorded by 1959.
Earlier, the word had been used in English with a sense of "grace, talent from God" (1875), directly from Latinized Greek; and in the form charism (plural charismata) it is attested with this sense in English from 1640s. Middle English, meanwhile, had karisme "spiritual gift, divine grace" (c.1500).
- charismatic (adj.)
- 1851, in Bible commentary and theology, in reference to the operation of the Holy Spirit and prophetic ecstasy in the early Church (from the use of Greek kharismata in Rom. xii), from Latin stem of charisma + -ic. As a movement in modern Christian churches which believes in divine gifts of healing, etc., attested by 1936, reflecting the older sense of charisma.
- charitable (adj.)
- c.1200, in reference to the Christian virtue, from Old French charitable, from charité (see charity). Meaning "liberal in treatment of the poor" is from c.1400; that of "inclined to impute favorable motives to others" is from 1620s. Related: Charitableness; charitably.
- charity (n.)
- mid-12c., "benevolence for the poor," from Old French charité "(Christian) charity, mercy, compassion; alms; charitable foundation" (12c., Old North French carité), from Latin caritatem (nominative caritas) "costliness, esteem, affection" (in Vulgate often used as translation of Greek agape "love" -- especially Christian love of fellow man -- perhaps to avoid the sexual suggestion of Latin amor), from carus "dear, valued," from PIE *karo-, from root *ka- "to like, desire" (see whore (n.)).
Vulgate also sometimes translated agape by Latin dilectio, noun of action from diligere "to esteem highly, to love" (see diligence).
Wyclif and the Rhemish version regularly rendered the Vulgate dilectio by 'love,' caritas by 'charity.' But the 16th c. Eng. versions from Tindale to 1611, while rendering agape sometimes 'love,' sometimes 'charity,' did not follow the dilectio and caritas of the Vulgate, but used 'love' more often (about 86 times), confining 'charity' to 26 passages in the Pauline and certain of the Catholic Epistles (not in I John), and the Apocalypse.... In the Revised Version 1881, 'love' has been substituted in all these instances, so that it now stands as the uniform rendering of agape. [OED]
Sense of "charitable foundation or institution" in English attested by 1690s.
- charivari (n.)
- "rough music," especially as a community way of expressing disapproval of a marriage match, 1735, from French charivari, from Old French chalivali "discordant noise made by pots and pans" (14c.), from Late Latin caribaria "a severe headache," from Greek karebaria "headache," from kare "head" + barys "heavy" (see grave (adj.)).
- charlatan (n.)
- 1610s, from French charlatan "mountebank, babbler" (16c.), from Italian ciarlatano "a quack," from ciarlare "to prate, babble," from ciarla "chat, prattle," perhaps imitative of ducks' quacking. Related: Charlatanism; charlatanical; charlatanry.
- king of the Franks (742-814), literally "Carl the Great," from French form of Medieval Latin Carolus Magnus (see Charles + Magnus).
- masc. proper name, from French Charles, from Medieval Latin Carolus, from Middle High German Karl, literally "man, husband" (see carl).
- Charles's Wain (n.)
- Old English Carles wægn, a star-group associated in medieval times with Charlemagne, but originally with the nearby bright star Arcturus, which is linked by folk etymology to Latin Arturus "Arthur." Which places the seven-star asterism at the crux of the legendary association (or confusion) of Arthur and Charlemagne. Evidence from Dutch (cited in Grimm, "Teutonic Mythology") suggests that it might originally have been Woden's wagon. More recent names for it are the Plough (by 15c., chiefly British) and the Dipper (19c., chiefly American).
The seven brights stars in the modern constellation Ursa Major have borne a dual identity in Western history at least since Homer's time, being seen as both a wagon and a bear: e.g. Latin plaustrum "freight-wagon, ox cart" and arctos "bear," both used of the seven

Duplication of the failure mode means verifying that the reported failure symptoms (failure mode) of the component can be reproduced.
The failure symptoms should be duplicated for several reasons, including: (1) to assure that the reported failure mode exists in the component being analyzed (and therefore ensure that the correct component is being analyzed); (2) to determine what electrical stimulus method(s) can be used to reproduce the failure mode during analysis; and (3) to assure that additional or different failure modes have not been introduced during the activities prior to analysis, such as system troubleshooting, component removal, or delivery of the component to failure analysis.
The failure mode can be duplicated in a variety of ways, dependent upon the type of test equipment or testing services available to failure analyst. The following are several examples of methods used to duplicate the failure conditions. For all of the methods, it is important to have as detailed a description of the electrical failure conditions as possible in order to ensure that correct and complete duplication is achieved.
For components manufactured by the same company performing the analysis, it may be possible to retest the component using the same test equipment and test programs used during the manufacture of the component. This is often most desirable, since it stimulates and evaluates the performance of the component in a manner as similar as possible to the conditions prior to failure. This method can can be very useful if there is concern that the manufacturing test process did not detect the failure mechanism or defect (in other words, the failure existed prior to the manufacturing test and was not detected by the test; it was a test escape). Another method is to use the production test vectors on a different test system. For example, the manufacturing test may have been performed on a Sentry test system and the component is retested during failure analysis with an HP82000 test system using the Sentry test vectors translated into the HP82000 format. Depending upon the complexity of the component and the failure mode,it may also be possible to reproduce the failure mode using simple benchtop equipment, such as an HP4145 and a switch box to set the power, input, and I/O pins into their appropriate states.
It is very important that the reported failure mode be reproduced as soon as possible during the analysis. Normally, failure mode duplication is the first activity after visual examination of the component to ensure that the correct component has been received for analysis.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I am attempting to compute the (integral) cohomology ring structure of the 3 configuration space of $\mathbb{R}^m$ and have run into a few doubts.
Using a result of Fadell and Neuwirth, we have that conf($\mathbb{R}^m$, 3) is the total space of the fibration:
p: conf($\mathbb{R}^m$, 3) $\rightarrow$ conf($\mathbb{R}^m$, 2) given by the obvious map onto the first 2 factors with fibre homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^m - Q$ where $Q$ is two points.
Since $\mathbb{R}^m - Q $ is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of two $m-1$ spheres, it has cohomology groups $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}\bigoplus \mathbb{Z}$ in dimensions $0$ and $m-1$ respectfully (Mayer-Vietoris).
Similarly conf($\mathbb{R}^m$, 2) is homotopy equivalent to $S^{m-1}$ where a map is $(x,y) \rightarrow \frac{(x-y)}{|x-y]}$. Assuming trival local coefficients (where the only problem could arise when $m=2$ since otherwise the base is simply connected) we can apply the Serre spectral sequence with $E_2^{p,q} = H^p(S^{m-1}, H^q(\vee_2 S^{m-1} )) $.
An application of the UCT (since everything is free) gives that $E_2^{p,q} = H^p(S^{m-1}) \otimes H^q(\vee_2 S^{m-1} ) $
We then have that $E_2 = E_{\infty}$ since we only have cohomology in degree $0$ and $m-1$ for the base and fibre and hence there can be no non-trivial differentials.
This leads me to a few questions.
 1. In general the $E_{\infty}$ product structure doesn't determine the product structure on the total space (see for example p 29 SSAT ) but things work out in this instance since everything is a free $\mathbb{Z}$ module and of finite type? What is a necessary and sufficient condition on the $E_{\infty}$ page structure to guarantee that the product structures coincide?
 2. I know that $H^*(S^{m-1}) = \mathbb{Z}[a_1]/(a_1^2)$ where $|a_1| = m-1$ and that $H^*(S^{m-1} \vee S^{m-1}) = \mathbb{Z}[a_2]/(a_2^2) \times \mathbb{Z}[a_3]/(a_3^2)$ where $|a_2|=|a_3| = m-1$.
 Does this simply imply that $H^*($conf($\mathbb{R}^m$, 3) ) $\simeq \mathbb{Z}[a_1]/(a_1^2)$ $\otimes \mathbb{Z}[a_2]/(a_2^2) \times \mathbb{Z}[a_3]/(a_3^2)\simeq \mathbb{Z}[a_1,a_2,a_3]/(a_1^2=a_2^2=a_3^2)$? Am I missing something?

A couple of comments.
First, Juan S is correct in assessing the final state of the Serre spectral sequence.
Second, with regard to your point (1) the cohomology ring structure is, in this case, not determined by the multiplication on the $E_\infty$ term, even though everything is of finite type over $\mathbb{Z}$. Specifically, you have the two classes $\alpha, \beta \in (0,m-1)$, and in the spectral sequence you have that $\alpha \cup \beta = 0$ because it lands in the zero group. However, this only guarantees that the product is zero "up to filtration." You have the possibility that $\alpha \cup \beta$ becomes some linear combination of $\alpha \cup \gamma$ and $\beta \cup\gamma$ in the actual cohomology ring.
One of the biggest red flags that this actually happens is that the relations you're getting don't look symmetric. The action of the symmetric group on this configuration space permutes $\alpha$, $\beta$, and $\gamma$, and so you can't have $\alpha \beta = 0$ when neither of $\alpha \gamma$ and $\beta \gamma$ are.
Along this line, the cohomology ring is of strictly smaller rank than the candidate that you list in item (2).
One way to get the actual cohomology ring is as follows. There is a map $$conf(\mathbb{R}^m,3) \to conf(\mathbb{R}^m,2)^3 \simeq (S^{m-1})^3$$ that sends $(x,y,z)$ to $((y,z), (x,z), (x,y))$. This is a map of bundles and respects the action of the symmetric group; over any point $(x,y)$, it is homotopy equivalent to the inclusion $S^{m-1} \vee S^{m-1} \to S^{m-1} \times S^{m-1}$. This gives you a map of Serre spectral sequence in the opposite direction which is surjective. Examining this has the following consequences.
 - The map $H^*((S^{m-1})^3) \to H^*(conf(\mathbb{R}^m,3))$ is surjective, where the former is the exterior algebra $\mathbb{Z}[a_1,a_2,a_3]/(a_i^2)$ you list in (2).
 - This map is an isomorphism in degree $m-1$, and the action of $\Sigma_3$ is dual to a permutation action on $\mathbb{Z}^3$. You can choose generators so that the permutation $\sigma$ sends $a_i$ to $a_{\sigma^{-1} i}$. (Note: Cohomology is contravariant so this is a right action.)
 - The kernel in degree $2(m-1)$ is $\Sigma_3$-equivariant of rank $1$, and the image is free of rank $2$. This forces the kernel to be generated by $(a_1 a_2 + a_1 a_3 + a_2 a_3)$.
So the cohomology ring is actually $$ \mathbb{Z}[a_1,a_2,a_3]/(a_1^2, a_2^2, a_3^2, a_1 a_2 + a_1 a_3 + a_2 a_3). $$ (This is actually the hard one. You can use this result to get a grip on the configuration spaces of more points in $\mathbb{R}^m$.)

Thank you for the clarification. I realise that I got confused by the semantics on p. 139 in McCleary where he says that the spectral sequence converges to $H^*(E,R)$ as $algebras$. – confusedmath Oct 20 '11 at 10:02
This is really a comment, but I ran out of room (and I give no gurantee it is correct)
Shouldn't there be some relation between the generators? If I've done the spectral sequence correctly there is a $\mathbb{Z}$ on the $q=0$ row in at $p=0$ and $p=m-1$. On the $q=m-1$ row there is a $\mathbb{Z} \oplus \mathbb{Z}$ at $p=0$ and $p=m-1$. I'm not sure there can be any extension problems here, and so we know the cohomology as abelian groups:
$$H^p(\text{Conf}(\mathbb{R}^3,3);\mathbb{Z}) \simeq \begin{cases} \mathbb{Z} &\text{ if } p=0 \\ \mathbb{Z}\oplus\mathbb{Z}\oplus \mathbb{Z} &\text{ if } p=m-1 \\ \mathbb{Z} \oplus \mathbb{Z} &\text{ if } p=2(m-1) \end{cases} $$
By multiplicity of the spectral sequence I think we should we should have $E_2^{0,m-1} \otimes E_2^{m-1,0} \simeq E_2^{m-1,m-1}$ So if we denote the generators of the $\mathbb

The Reference-to-Pointer Syntax in C++
The syntax of pointer declarations is sometimes difficult to decipher, just consider the following three, elementary cases:
 - int *p[2]
 - int (*p)[2]
 - int (*p)()

Example 1
int *p[2];
This is actually an array of two int pointers. We can also think of this as a pointer to two consecutive int pointers.
int *p[2];
int *a = new int;
*a = 21;
int *b = new int;
*b = 22;
p[0] = a;
p[1] = b;
std::cout << *p[0] << std::endl; // 21
std::cout << *p[1] << std::endl; // 22
int **q = p;
std::cout << **q << std::endl;
std::cout << **(q + 1) << std::endl;
delete a;
delete b;
_URL_

Example 2
int (*p)[2];
This is a pointer to an array of two ints. Just as in the first example, we can think of this a pointer to a pointer, since an array is basically a const pointer.
int n[2];
n[0] = 4;
n[1] = 7;
int (*p)[2] = &n;
std::cout << (*p)[0] << std::endl; // 4
std::cout << (*p)[1] << std::endl; // 7
// or ...
std::cout << **p << std::endl; // 4
std::cout << *(*p + 1) << std::endl; // 7

Example 3
int (*p)();
This is a pointer to a function returning an int.
int takeThisInt()
{
 return 123;
}
// ...
int (*p)() = &takeThisInt;
int x = p(); // note the parentheses
std::cout << x << std::endl; // 123

Behind the Scenes: Name Hiding in C++
Name hiding happens when an overloaded member function is declared in the scope of a derived class. Here is an example:
class Base
{
public:
 virtual ~Base() {}
 virtual void someFunction() const;
 virtual void someFunction(int x) const;
};
void Base::someFunction() const {}
void Base::someFunction(int x) const {}
class Derived : public Base
{
public:
 void someFunction() const;
};
void Derived::someFunction() const {}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
 Derived d;
 d.someFunction(123);
 return 0;
}
This, in fact, will not compile and gcc reports the following error:
error: no matching function for call to 'Derived::someFunction(int)'
While if we remove Derived::someFunction(), the code compiles without errors. First of all, note that there are two orthogonal language features involved here: function overloading and inheritance (overloading vs. overriding).
The scope of Derived becomes nested within the scope of its base class, however, introducing a name in the derived class obscures all overloaded versions of the same function in the Base class, hence the compiler error. This is actually standard behavior, for reasons which will be discussed below.

 [C](P) M -> R { body }(Q)
 C = capture specification
 P = parameter specification
 M = mutable specification
 R = return type specification
 Q = actual call parameters
Lambda expressions are locally defined functions, also known as anonymous functions. A minimal example could look something like this:
int main()
{
 auto f = []() { std::cout << "hello"; };
 f();
 return 0;
}
The lambda can also be invoked as it is defined, on-the-fly:
[]() { std::cout << "hello"; }();
Here is a lambda that takes an int as argument:
auto fn = [](int x) { std::cout << "x = " << x << "\n"; };
fn(123);
Side note: I tend to use the terms parameter and argument more or less interchangeably. To make things clear, we should, however, make a distinction between the two:
 - A parameter is a variable declared in the prototype or declaration of a function.
 - The argument is the value that is actually passed to the function.
A return value can be specified, using the trailing return type specification (→ R):
auto fn = [](int x) -> int { return x + 1; };
int n = fn(1);
std::cout << "->" << n << "\n";
The auto keyword saves us some work when the compiler is able to infer the type of an expression automatically. Alternatively, we could write:
std::tr1::function<int(int)> fn = [](int x) -> int { return x + 1; };
In this post, I will continue to examine the capture specification and mutable keyword.

Copy Semantics and the Rule of Three
Commonly referred to as "the three amigos", the
 - copy constructor,
 - copy assignment operator, and
 - destructor
are sometimes generated by the compiler, when not defined directly by the programmer. Given a class definition such as the one below, the compiler will provide its own, synthesized version of the copy constructor and assignment operator for us.
class Basic
{
public:
 Basic()
 : m_data(new char[1024])
 {
 }
 ~Basic()
 {
 if (m_data)
 delete[] m_data;
 m_data = 0;
 }
private:
 char *m_data;
};
Here is how these default, compiler adaptations deal with different member types when we copy, assign to, or delete an object:
Default copy constructor:
 - Primitive types: Value is copied
 - Pointer types: Pointer is copied (shallow copy)
 - Objects: Calls object's copy constructor
Default assignment operator:
 - Primitive types: Value is copied
 - Pointer types: Pointer is copied (shallow copy)
 - Objects: Calls object's assignment operator
Default destructor:
 - Primitive types: Does nothing
 - Pointer types: Does nothing
 - Objects: Calls object's destructor
With C++11 also comes two new amigos (more about these later), they are the:
 - move constructor, and
 - move assignment operator.
A shallow copy simply means that the value of the pointer is copied, i.e., the address of the data, not the data itself. In our class definition above, the compiler-generated copy constructor and assignment operator are implicit. Consequently, the two objects in the following statements will end up with m_data pointers pointing to the same data.
Basic obj1;
Basic obj2(obj1);
The problem with our compiler-generated copy constructor (or, the problem with the Basic class destructor, depending on how you look at it) manifests when the objects are destroyed.
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
 Basic obj1;
 Basic obj2(obj1);
 return 0;
}
This program will crash, and here is why:
 - The first object falls out of scope, and the data pointed to by m_data is released (in the destructor). So far, so good.
 - The second object falls out of scope. Since this object's m_data pointer is still pointing to the address of the memory we just released, the program will attempt to release the same memory again, which will cause the program to crash.
Rule of three

WeBWorK Problems
stats and least squares linear regression
Re: stats and least squares linear regression
by Danny Glin -
Number of replies: 0
You can look at the code of the problems in the Regression section of the OPL to get some ideas. Here are a few techniques that I am aware of:
 1. Use the R integration with WeBWorK. This allows you to call any R functions to do statistical calculations. Many of the UBC statistics problems in the OPL take advantage of this.
 2. There appears to be a function called linear_regression in PGstatisticsmacros.pl. According to the documentation, the usage is:
 @xdata = (-1,2,3,4,5,6,7);
 @ydata = (6,5,6,7,8,9,11);
 ($slope,$intercept,$var,$SXX) = linear_regression(~~@xdata,~~@ydata);
 Though based on a quick look, this isn't used in any OPL problem, so I don't know how well tested it is.
 3. You can create a for loop within your problem to manually calculate the parameters. This is inelegant but effective.

MaNEP - Materials with Novel Electronic Properties
The National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR), MaNEP - Materials with Novel Electronic Properties, studies materials with outstanding properties. These materials are featured in some magnetic, ferroelectric and super conductors. All have a large potential for applications, particularly in energy production and distribution, information technology, sensors and nanotechnology. As electronic interactions play an important role in many of these materials, it is difficult to describe their properties theoretically. The work of the NCCR MaNEP researchers aims at achieving a better understanding of these new materials and at preparing for future applications. Academic and industry partners cooperate closely towards this end, within the NCCR's Swiss-wide network.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Education and Skills Thomas Byrne says the failure by Minister Bruton to engage constructively with teaching unions on pay equality could lead to major industrial unrest in schools across Ireland.
Deputy Byrne made the comments after the INTO rejected the new public service pay agreement negotiated last month. The ASTI and TUI are also in the process of balloting members on the pay agreement.
"Currently new entrants to the teaching profession start on much lower salary scales as compared to their established colleagues. The difference in pay scales means that a new teacher will earn up to €100,000 less than their colleagues over the course of their career. This is having a detrimental impact on morale in schools as new teachers are understandably disillusioned.
"We cannot have a situation where schools are closed again in Autumn and Winter. We saw the negative impact that this had last year on students. Students have already suffered enough, and Minister Bruton must work constructively with the teaching unions to avoid a repeat of this.
"The outcome of the INTO ballot clearly demonstrates the level of frustration amongst teaching staff. New teachers understand why separate pay scales were implemented during the economic crisis, but they have been left in the lurch as the Government has not set out a pathway for securing pay equality as the economy recovers.
"Minister Bruton needs to give a firm commitment that he will work constructively with all the teaching unions to avoid any closure of schools later this year is working towards achieving pay equality for new teachers as public finances improve. The current situation is eroding morale in schools and simply cannot be allowed to continue.
"The Minister must also recognise that failure to provide leadership on the pay equality issue could lead to widespread industrial unrest in schools right across the country," concluded Deputy Byrne.

Gradable and Non-gradable Adjectives
Adjectives describe qualities (characteristics) of nouns.
- Some qualities can vary in intensity or grade (for example: rather hot, hot, very hot; hot, hotter, the hottest).
The adjective hot is gradable.
- Other qualities cannot vary in intensity or grade because they are:
- extremes (for example: freezing)
- absolutes (for example: dead)
- classifying (for example: nuclear)
The adjectives freezing, dead and nuclear are non-gradable.
A gradable adjective can be used with "grading adverbs" that vary the adjective's grade or intensity. Look at these examples:
a little, dreadfully, extremely, fairly, hugely, immensely, intensely, rather, reasonably, slightly, unusually, very
angry, big, busy, clever, cold, deep, fast, friendly, good, happy, high, hot, important, long, popular, rich, strong, tall, warm, weak, young
A gradable adjective can also have comparative and superlative forms:
EC Tip: "Gradable adjectives" are also called "qualitative adjectives". "Grading adverbs" are also called "submodifiers".
- big, bigger, the biggest
- hot, hotter, the hottest
- important, more important, the most important
Look at these example sentences:
- My teacher was very happy with my homework.
- That website is reasonably popular. But this one is more popular.
- He said that Holland was a little cold and Denmark was rather cold. But Sweden was the coldest.
EC Tip: The adjective dead is non-gradable because it is an absolute. Dead is dead. We cannot be more or less dead. One person cannot be "deader" than another. Other absolutes include: correct, unique, perfect
A non-gradable adjective cannot be used with grading adverbs:
It was rather freezing outside. The dog was very dead. He is investing in slightly nuclear energy.
Non-gradable adjectives do not normally have comparative and superlative forms:
more freezing, the most freezing
deader, the deadest
more nuclear, the most nuclear
Often, non-gradable adjectives are used alone:
EC Tip: Don't try to learn lists of gradable and non-gradable adjectives! It's better to understand what makes an adjective gradable or non-gradable. This is a matter of logic and common sense. Most native-speakers have never heard of gradable and non-gradable adjectives. They just "feel" that it doesn't make sense to say "
fairly excellent" or " very unique". You probably have the same idea in your language.
- It was freezing outside.
- The dog was dead.
- He is investing in nuclear energy.
However, a non-gradable adjective can be used with "non-grading adverbs" (which usually just give the adjective extra impact), for example:
|non-grading adverbs ||non-gradable adjectives|
Here are some example sentences with non-gradable adjectives:
- Her exam results were absolutely awful. She will have to take the exam again.
- Is there anything like it in the world? It must be virtually unique.
- It starts an essentially chemical reaction.
Adjectives that can be gradable and non-gradable
Some adjectives may have more than one meaning or sense. It's possible for the same adjective to be gradable with one sense and non-gradable with another sense. For example:
| ||adjective||common = |
|He's got a very old car.||gradable||not young |
|I saw my old boyfriend yesterday.||non-gradable||former, ex- |
|He has some dreadfully common habits. ||gradable||vulgar|
|"The" is a very common word in English. ||gradable||prevalent|
|The two countries' common border poses problems. ||non-gradable||shared |
Adverbs used with gradable and non-gradable adjectives
The adverbs really (very much) and fairly and pretty (both meaning "to a significant degree, but less than very") can often be used with gradable and non-gradable adjectives:
|Please don't forget! It's really important. ||He was really terrified. |
|He's a fairly rich man. ||It's a fairly impossible job. |
|He's pretty tall. ||It's pretty ridiculous when you think about it. |
"Quite" with gradable and non-gradable adjectives
The meaning of the adverb "quite" changes according to the type of adjective we use it with:
| ||adjective||quite = |
|It's quite warm today. ||gradable||fairly, rather |
|Are you quite certain?||non-gradable||completely, absolutely |
| Although we don't recommend that you learn lists of non-gradable adjectives, here are some for reference. You can decide for yourself whether they are extreme, absolute or classifying. |
|alive, awful, black, boiling, certain, correct, dead, domestic, enormous, environmental, excellent, freezing, furious, gigantic, huge, immediately, impossible, miniscule, mortal, overjoyed, perfect, pregnant, principal, ridiculous, superb, terrible, terrified, unique, unknown, white, whole |
|Again, no need to learn lists. Here are a few examples. There are many more. Remember that you cannot use all non-grading adverbs with all non-gradable adjectives. Some collocate (go together). Some don't. |
| absolutely, almost, completely, entirely, exclusively, fully, largely, mainly, nearly, perfectly, practically, primarily, utterly, virtually |

Immigrants to the European Union may have a higher susceptibility to varicella-zoster virus primo-infection than the indigenous population. There is no evidence as yet that this is caused by genetic or social factors. Therefore, susceptibility could be due to a lesser transmission of the virus in their ecosystems of origin. A multicentre observational study was performed from July 2004 to June 2006 in four primary healthcare centres in Catalonia, Spain, monitoring varicella incidences and comparing standardised incidence rates and standardised rate ratios among different populations classified according to their biogeographical origin (holarctic, Asian paleotropical, African paleotropical or neotropical). Overall, 516 varicella cases were recorded. The standardised incidence rates per 1,000 inhabitants per year were: holarctic: 2.17 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.95-2.39); autochthonous 2.26 (95% CI: 2.03-2.49); immigrants 3.59 (95% CI: 2.92-4.26); neotropical 4.50 (95% CI: 3.28-5.71); non-holarctic 5.38 (95% CI: 4.27-6.14); Asian paleotropical 7.03 (95% CI: 4.77-9.28); and African paleotropical 7.05 (95% CI: 1.12-23.58). The difference to the autochthonous population was greatest in immigrants of neotropical origin (standardised rate ratio = 2.07 (95% CI: 1.61-2.64) or 4.5 excess cases per 1,000 inhabitants per year) and Asian paleotropical origin (standardised rate ratio = 3.24 (95% CI: 2.47-4.11) or 9.6 excess cases per 1,000 inhabitants per year). Biogeographical origin may therefore account for the vulnerability of certain immigrant populations to varicella, in particular those from Asian paleotropical (Indostan and Southest Asia) and neotropical (South America and the Caribbean) ecosystems. Vaccination of immigrants at high risk (fertile women, healthcare workers) could be recommendable.

|Abstract:||This paper describes an application of the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) technique in signal segmentation of fault records. The segmentation is important pre-processing step required for automated analysis of data recorded during faults on transmission lines. The proposed technique achieves reliable and automated segmentation of three-phase voltage and current signals in pre-fault, fault and fault-cleared stationary signal segments. The proposed EMD segmentation technique has been tested using practical disturbance records and representative results are presented in this paper.|

text: According to music pedagogue Randall Allsup (2003: 157), praxis is "not simply the capacity to imagine alternative scenarios, but is instead the slow burning fuse of possibility and action." This paper will examine the role of uncertainty and praxis in the creative writing classroom, paying particular attention to the role of prose workshopping. First, it will offer an overview of praxis and then it will argue that, when successful, creative writing pedagogy offers praxis: that is, students learn to imagine their writing in different ways through workshopping (possibility) and to enact those changes through the rewriting process (action). Then, it will explore practical ways of addressing authority in the workshop arena as well as the importance of supplementary readings. (Allsup, Randall Everett. 2003.

The Pont L'Evêque cheese: Introduction
The name of the Pont L'Evêque cheese comes from the town situated between Lisieux and Deauville. The rind of the Pont L'Evêque cheese is quite glossy, varying from yellow gold to orange in colour. Its colour, its rounded flavour and its soft texture make this a hearty cheese. When the pâte of the Pont L'Evêque is pale yellow the cheese should be tender, not too dry or too runny. Unctuous and slightly salty, this cheese is full of subtil and refined flavours. It has creamy, fruity and nutty aromas. It is in the shape of a square with 10cm sides, a thickness of between 3 and 3.5cm and a weight of 300 to 350grams. It is matured for 5 to 6 weeks in a humid cave and is washed periodically.
Exterior aspect of the Pont L'Evêque cheese: golden yellow, glossy rind
Odour of the Pont L'Evêque cheese: rather developed with a good bouquet
Texture of the Pont L'Evêque cheese: soft, smooth
Taste of the Pont L'Evêque cheese: Pronounced flavour of the land from which it is made.
The Pont L'Evêque cheese: AOC since 1976
The History of the Pont L'Evêque cheese
The Pont L'Evêque is without a doubt one of the oldest cheeses to come from Normandy. The production of the cheese was attested in Normandy from the 10th Century; the cheese was used as a tithe. At this time, the rearing of cows, ewes and goats was extensive contained in the vast forests of Normandy. A century later, in the 11th Century, Normandy was a land of marshes and forests. The weak surface of the pasture and a large population explain the difficulty having enough provisions for the monks of the abbeys and the seigniors. For this reason, large, hard cheeses were imported from England between Southampton and Barfleur.
In the 12th Century, the mould for the cheese was made of ceramic and represented the English money 'Angelot.' This cheese had a soft pâte and had been created by the Cistercian monks who had settled to the west of Caen. The cheese was known under the name 'Angelot.' In 1225, Guillaume de Lorris wrote, in the 'Romande la rose' "Any good table was always garnished for desert with Angelots cheeses." This term 'angelots' (which was later used to describe other Norman cheeses) comes from the name of a coin. This cheese served as a currency to exchange for things or to pay for things and especially to pay taxes.
From the 13th to the 14th Century, agriculture developed and the link between the rearing of the animals and the forest became weaker. In the 15th Century, the 'angelots' were the most reputed cheese of the kingdom. In 1560, Bruyerin de Champier mentions the cheeses of the region of Pont l'Evêque in 'Re Citeria.' In 1588, in a work of Charles de Bourgueville, 'Research and Antiquities of the province of Neustrie' the 'angelots' cheeses are mentioned. The name was drawn from the Pays d'Auge, the area where the Point L'Evêque comes from. It was known under this name in Paris. In 1622, Hélie le Cordier, a Norman writer, published a poem comprised of 16 verses, honouring the Pont L'Evêque cheese, with the famous verse:
"It does not have a bad smell
Nor an unpleasant skin
It is not waxy like others
It is loved in the same way by everybody
Because it is made with an art
Whether young or aged, it is the holy chrism"
The Pont L'Evêque can be formed into varies shapes due to the ceramic vaisselle (mould) which is used. Originally the Pont L'Evêque cheese was known by the name 'angelot' and then it was 'augelot' after the name of the Pays d'Auge, the area where the cheese originated from. In the 17th Century, the Pont L'Evêque cheese took its name from the little town between Deauville and Lisieu which held one of the major markets of the region. In the 18th Century, the notoriety of the Pont L'Evêque cheese expanded outside of France. From 1722, the historian and priest De Masseville underlined the fact that the cheeses came from the the Pont L'Evêque region; "are valued highly and transported to various places." After the confiscation of the fortunes of the Church, the revolution got rid of all references to religion. The town of Pont L'Evêque (évêque is the French word for bishop) did not escape this and became, in 1793 and was for several decades, known as Pont Chalier (Chalier being the name of a revolutionary).Joseph Chalier, a revolutionary from the very beginning, was the first to put up an army against the Ancien Régime in Lyon. A great defender of freedom, he was arrested and executed the 17th July 1793.
In the 19th Century, Normandy saw its grazier surface develop and so the rearing of its dairy cattle. The Pont L'Evêque was a farm produced cheese made every two days. At this time, there were different qualities of Pont L'Evêque according to the amount of fat they contained. The highest quality was made with whole milk, sometimes enriched with whipping cream. The second highest quality was made with a mix of skimmed milk, the milk from the day before and from whole milk fresh from that days milking. The third quality, made from skimmed milk and the milk from the day before is less rich and more acidic. The Pont L'Evêque was sold at the markets of Pont L'Evêque and Beaumont en Auge. On average, 600 dozens of the cheese were sold in the 6 spring/summer months and 200 dozens in the winter months.
The development of the railways helped with the commercialisation of the cheese. The cheese-makers benefited from the rapidity, the security and the moderate cost of this new mode of transport. The Pont L'Evêque cheese departed from Lisieux at 6pm and at arrived at the station at Batignolles for 2am. From there, they were supplied to the Halles de Paris (the central food market) or departed again by train and distributed to other towns of the province. Only the highest quality Pont L'Evêque was commercialised. This explains why the Pont L'Evêque had such excellent reputation, because in this period fat was rare and expensive.
The Pont L'Evêque cheese is a noble cheese, sought after by restaurateurs, one of which, Brillat Savarin said; "a dessert without cheese is like a beautiful person who is missing an eye." Less well-known, the 'pavés d'auge' and the 'Moyaux' represent respectively two or three Pont L'Evêque cheeses. These cheeses acted as the 'piggy bank' to pay for the tenancies of the farmland or to pay for the conservation of the milk for the season where production is weak. In the 20th Century, the collection of the milk was modernised and the way it was transformed was perfected still respecting the traditions. This developed large groups of cheese-makers. The Pont L'Evêque keeps its place as one of the most popular cheeses.

Release 2 (9.2)
Part Number A96540-01
Conditions, 10 of 13
LIKE conditions specify a test involving pattern matching. Whereas the equality operator (=) exactly matches one character value to another, the
LIKE conditions match a portion of one character value to another by searching the first value for the pattern specified by the second.
LIKE calculates strings using characters as defined by the input character set.
LIKEC uses Unicode complete characters.
LIKE2 uses UCS2 codepoints.
LIKE4 uses USC4 codepoints.
In this syntax:
char1is a character expression, such as a character column, called the search value.
char2is a character expression, usually a literal, called the pattern.
esc_charis a character expression, usually a literal, called the escape character.
esc_char is not specified, then there is no default escape character. If any of
esc_char is null, then the result is unknown. Otherwise, the escape character, if specified, must be a character string of length 1.
All of the character expressions (
esc_char) can be of any of the datatypes
NVARCHAR2. If they differ, then Oracle converts all of them to the datatype of
The pattern can contain the special pattern-matching characters:
To search for the characters % and _, precede them by the escape character. For example, if the escape character is @, then you can use @% to search for %, and _USER_ to search for _.
To search for the escape character, repeat it. For example, if @ is the escape character, then you can use @@ to search for @.
In the pattern, the escape character should be followed by one of %, _, or the escape character itself.
Table 5-11 describes the
|Type of Condition||Operation||Example|
To process the
LIKE conditions, Oracle divides the pattern into subpatterns consisting of one or two characters each. The two-character subpatterns begin with the escape character and the other character is %, or _, or the escape character.
Let P1, P2,..., Pn be these subpatterns. The like condition is true if there is a way to partition the search value into substrings S1, S2,..., Sn so that for all i between 1 and n:
LIKE conditions, you can compare a value to a pattern rather than to a constant. The pattern must appear after the
LIKE keyword. For example, you can issue the following query to find the salaries of all employees with names beginning with 'R':
The following query uses the = operator, rather than the
LIKE condition, to find the salaries of all employees with the name 'R%':
The following query finds the salaries of all employees with the name 'SM%'. Oracle interprets 'SM%' as a text literal, rather than as a pattern, because it precedes the
Patterns typically use special characters that Oracle matches with different characters in the value:
Case is significant in all conditions comparing character expressions including the
LIKE condition and the equality (=) operators. You can use the
UPPER function to perform a case-insensitive match, as in this condition:
When you use
LIKE to search an indexed column for a pattern, Oracle can use the index to improve the statement's performance if the leading character in the pattern is not "%" or "_". In this case, Oracle can scan the index by this leading character. If the first character in the pattern is "%" or "_", then the index cannot improve the query's performance because Oracle cannot scan the index.
This condition is true for all
last_name values beginning with "Ma":
All of these
last_name values make the condition true:
Case is significant, so
last_name values beginning with "MA", "ma", and "mA" make the condition false.
Consider this condition:
This condition is true for these
This condition is false for '
SMITH', since the special character "_" must match exactly one character of the
You can include the actual characters "%" or "_" in the pattern by using the
ESCAPE clause, which identifies the escape character. If the escape character appears in the pattern before the character "%" or "_" then Oracle interprets this character literally in the pattern, rather than as a special pattern matching character.
To search for employees with the pattern 'A_B' in their name:
ESCAPE clause identifies the backslash (\) as the escape character. In the pattern, the escape character precedes the underscore (_). This causes Oracle to interpret the underscore literally, rather than as a special pattern matching character.
If a pattern does not contain the "%" character, then the condition can be true only if both operands have the same length. Consider the definition of this table and the values inserted into it:
CREATE TABLE ducks (f CHAR(6), v VARCHAR2(6)); INSERT INTO ducks VALUES ('DUCK', 'DUCK'); SELECT '*'||f||'*' "char", '*'||v||'*' "varchar" FROM ducks; char varchar -------- -------- *DUCK * *DUCK*
Because Oracle blank-pads
CHAR values, the value of
f is blank-padded to 6 bytes.
v is not blank-padded and has length 4.

clfsplit [--help] [-i input] -d defaultfile -f file -s spec [-f file -s spec]
The clfsplit will split up large CLF format web logs based on IP address. This is for creating separate log analysis passes for internal and external users of web pages.
The defaultfile parameter specifies where data goes if it doesn't match any of the IP ranges. This could be /dev/null depending on your aims. The -i input parameter gives the file to take input from (default standard input). The -f file parameter must be given before the list of IP addresses. The spec parameter is the IP addresses that go to the file in question. It is of the form start[-end][:start[-end]] where start and end specify the start and ends of ranges of IPs. Also the CIDR notation can be used or a single IP address. If there is a large number of IP ranges then a file name can be given which contains a set of IP ranges, one range per line.
0 No errors 1 Bad parameters 2 Can't open input 3 Can't open/write to output file 4 Can't open and read from spec file

Zusammenfassung
Measurements in classical and quantum physics are described in fundamentally different ways. Nevertheless, one can formally define similar measurement procedures with respect to the disturbance they cause. Obviously, strong measurements, both classical and quantum, are invasive—they disturb the measured system. We show that it is possible to define general weak measurements, which are noninvasive: the disturbance becomes negligible as the measurement strength goes to zero. Classical intuition suggests that noninvasive measurements should be time symmetric (if the system dynamics is reversible) and we confirm that correlations are time-reversal symmetric in the classical case. However, quantum weak measurements - defined analogously to their classical Counterparts - can be noninvasive but not time symmetric. We present a simple example of measurements on a two-level system which violates time symmetry and propose an experiment with quantum dots to measure the timesymmetry violation in a third-order current correlation function.

The Church of the Children of Atom believes that each atom has the potential to become an entire universe, and that if the atom is split an entire universe is born. Therefore, instead of seeing the Great War (the nuclear war that destroyed the world in the Fallout Universe) as destructive, the Church of the Children of Atom believes it was a holy event that created many many universes. This could suggest the Children of Atom would desire the atomic bomb to blow up and send them to their destiny, rather than have it disarmed. Members of the Church are called Children of Atom.
Notable Members
- Confessor Cromwell is the leader of The Church of the Children of Atom and is usually found preaching by the
Confessor Cromwell.
Nuclear Bomb in the middle of Megaton. He will accept donations to the church that will raise your karma.
- Mother Maya is the wife of Confessor Cromwell.
-Mother Curie III is a former Child of Atom who splits off from the church and starts the Holy Light Monastery.
The Church of the Children of the Atom has existed since Megaton's construction. This is revealed by Manya when she mentions that the founders of the church helped build the town. The citizens of Megaton do not mind the cult residing there as their technologies and workforce were needed to build the city, in exchange for it being "built around the bomb".
It is possible that The Church of the Children of Atom is a reference to the 1970 film Beneath the Planet of the Apes which featured a cult of mutants that worshiped an atomic bomb left over from the Nuclear War that killed most of humanity.

Effects of Irradiance and Cutting Interval on Growth, Yield, Persistence and Nutritive Value of Asystasia Intrusa
Mokhtar, Suparjo Noordin (2008) Effects of Irradiance and Cutting Interval on Growth, Yield, Persistence and Nutritive Value of Asystasia Intrusa. PhD thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Asystasia intrusa, a species introduced 90 years ago, is now a naturalized weed in Malaysia that is prevalent under oil palm plantations. However, this species is known to be very palatable to cattle and goats. Despite being recognized as a shade plant, its response to shade has not been studied. Similarly, the appropriate cutting interval for optimum yield and quality has not been determined. A study was, therefore, conducted to determine the performance of animals consuming A. intrusa and the effects of shading and cutting interval on its yield, chemical composition, growth and persistence. Experiments were conducted encompassing the; i) intake and nutritive value of A. intrusa in herbivores when harvested from the field; ii) effects of cutting interval and shade levels on yield, growth, persistence of survival, chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), essential amino acid (EAA) and mineral concentrations of A. intrusa grown in a glasshouse; and iii) optimum light requirements for photosynthesis. Asystasia intrusa is very palatable and nutritious for ruminant and non-ruminant herbivores. Adult rams consumed A. intrusa dry matter (DM) at a rate of 33 g kg-1 body weight. Both acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were digested at a rate of 590 g kg-1 DM. The digestible energy (DE) and dry matter digestibility (DMD) were 2.1 mcal kg-1 DM and 620 g kg-1 DM, respectively. In rabbits, the DE and DMD value in this experiment was 2.2 mcal kg-1 DM and 509 g kg-1 DM, respectively. The mean IVDMD was 612 g kg-1 DM for leaf and 451 g kg-1 DM for stem which was within the normal digestibility of most forages. The digestibility of CP was quite low with 496 g kg-1 CP in rabbits and 500 g kg-1 CP for rams. As a result, A. intrusa had DCP of 68 g kg-1 DM in rams and 101 g kg-1 DM in rabbits. The CP concentration in leaf, stem and aerial part was 326, 167, and 253 g kg-1 DM, respectively. Both cutting interval and shade had an effect on the crude protein (CP) concentration. Crude protein in leaf decreased from 354 g kg-1 DM at 4 week cutting interval to 303 g kg-1 DM at 12 weeks. In stem, CP concentration of young A. intrusa was 213 g kg-1 DM which declined to 144 g kg-1 DM at longer cutting interval. They showed no difference between 8 and 12 week-cutting interval. On the other hand, with increased shading, the leaf CP concentration increased from 278 g kg-1 DM in the open to 361 g kg-1 DM at 93% shade. Shade has no effect on the CP concentration of stem.An essential amino acid profile of leaves showed that cystine concentration decreased with higher shade levels, while histidine increased with longer cutting interval. The most limiting EAA were histidine, lysine and methionine in leaf, and histidine and methionine in stem. Lysine concentration of stem was higher than leaf, especially when cut early. Essential amino acid constituted 35.2% of the leaf CP, and 37.7% of stem CP. Mineral concentrations increased with more shade and longer cutting interval in leaf and stem, except for Mg in leaf. Similarly, the P concentration in leaf increased with age. The ratio of Ca:P was 4.3 in leaf and 5.9 in stem, thus formulation of ration for calcium would be made easier. The concentration of fiber in A. intrusa was low relative to other tropical forages. The concentration of ADF in leaf, stem and aerial parts of A. intrusa were 158, 393 and 258 g kg-1 DM, respectively. Neutral detergent fiber in leaf, stem and aerial parts were 463, 536 and 494 g kg-1 DM, respectively. The ADF, as well as NDF, was highest with long cutting interval in both leaf and stem. They showed no difference in concentrations between 8 and 12 week cutting interval. Shading had contrasting effects on ADF and NDF and on leaf and stem. In the leaf, the ADF decreased while the NDF increased with increasing shade. In contrast, stem ADF increased as shade increased. The photosynthetic rate of A. intrusa increased when incident light was increased from 59 μmol photons m-1 s-1 to a peak at 600 μmol photons m-1 s-1 after which it declined. This shows that it is a shade plant with sun tolerant property. The light compensation point for A. intrusa occurred at 81.2 μΜοl photons m-2 s-1. The water use efficiency of A. intrusa was 1.46. The efficiency of A. intrusa to convert solar energy to chemical energy was 0.018. Shade and cutting intervals affected the morphology and growth of A. intrusa. Increasing shade reduced the number of branches and nodes. Plant was shorter (15.5 cm) in the open than in heavy shade (27.0 cm). They flower at all height, with shorter plants tending to have more flowers. In contrast to flower, seed production of A. intrusa was higher in taller plants. Canopy size and leafiness was influenced more by cutting interval than by shade. The cumulative annual yield of leaf was only affected by shade, while in stem, both cutting interval and shade affected the annual yield.

The Pinocchio Frog was discovered in the remote Foja Mountains when herpetologist Paul Oliver saw an unusual amphibian perched on a bag of rice at the campsite. Oliver was unable to locate another Pinocchio Frog and suspects they dwell amongst the treetops. Let us celebrate this remarkable find with an excerpt from the original story:
Pinocchio: Oh, look! My nose! What's happened?
The Blue Fairy: Perhaps you haven't been telling the truth, Pinocchio.
Jiminy Cricket: Perhaps?
Way to lay it down, Jiminy. Turns out the male frog's long, protruding nose points upward when it ribbits and hangs down low when it's not. Nobody knows why. Creepy!

Before proclaiming itself the aerospace capital of the world, the town of Palmdale was an agricultural community. Settlers of Swiss and German descent, moving west from Illinois and Nebraska, populated the area in 1886, and most residents made their living as farmers, growing alfalfa, pears, and apples. After World War II, with the creation of Edwards Air Force Base and U.S. Air Force Plant 42, the region evolved into a center for aerospace and defense activities, with contractors such as McDonnell Douglas, Rockwell, Northrop, and Lockheed establishing factories here. Highlights of the city include an airpark with displays of historical military and civilian aircraft, an outdoor amphitheater and a family water park for cooling off.

Although people often assume that multiple motives for doing something will be more powerful and effective than a single motive, research suggests that different types of motives for the same action sometimes compete. More specifically, research suggests that instrumental motives, which are extrinsic to the activities at hand, can weaken internal motives, which are intrinsic to the activities at hand. We tested whether holding both instrumental and internal motives yields negative outcomes in a field context in which various motives occur naturally and long-term educational and career outcomes are at stake. We assessed the impact of the motives of over 10,000 West Point cadets over the period of a decade on whether they would become commissioned officers, extend their officer service beyond the minimum required period, and be selected for early career promotions. For each outcome, motivation internal to military service itself predicted positive outcomes; a relationship that was negatively affected when instrumental motives were also in evidence. These results suggest that holding multiple motives damages persistence and performance in educational and occupational contexts over long periods of time.

The Impact of Load Carriage on Measures of Power and Agility in Tactical Occupations: A Critical Review
- International journal of environmental research and public health
- Published 3 months ago
The current literature suggests that load carriage can impact on a tactical officer's mobility, and that survival in the field may rely on the officer's mobility. The ability for humans to generate power and agility is critical for performance of the high-intensity movements required in the field of duty. The aims of this review were to critically examine the literature investigating the impacts of load carriage on measures of power and agility and to synthesize the findings. The authors completed a search of the literature using key search terms in four databases. After relevant studies were located using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, the studies were critically appraised using the Downs and Black Checklist and relevant data were extracted and tabled. Fourteen studies were deemed relevant for this review, ranging in percentage quality scores from 42.85% to 71.43%. Outcome measures used in these studies to indicate levels of power and agility included short-distance sprints, vertical jumps, and agility runs, among others. Performance of both power and agility was shown to decrease when tactical load was added to the participants. This suggests that the increase in weight carried by tactical officers may put this population at risk of injury or fatality in the line of duty.
One of the best ways to contribute to multidisciplinary research and to improve your own knowledge of the review process at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is to serve as a peer reviewer for research, traineeship, and small business innovation research proposals. Proactive targeted outreach to Scientific Review Officers (SROs) at NIH will increase your chances to become a reviewer. Reviewers with nursing expertise are especially welcome as multidisciplinary research is becoming more prevalent. Steps to identify a likely study section, contact the correct SRO, and review responsibly are described in this article, written by an experienced NIH review officer.
Little is known about occupational fatalities among tactical officers. A greater understanding of such injuries is needed to improve officer safety. The purpose of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of line-of-duty deaths secondary to felonious assault during tactical incidents.
A retrospective review of Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) data to determine the effect of career field or Army component on the relative risk for mental health (MH) related MEBs among Army Officers, may identify specific populations for enhanced screening before accession, or groups that may require targeted preventive resources during their careers.
The current report presents data on lifetime prevalence of suicide ideation and nonfatal attempts as reported by the large representative sample of U.S. Army soldiers who participated in the Consolidated All-Army Survey of the Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (N = 29,982). We also examine associations of key Army career characteristics with these outcomes. Prevalence estimates for lifetime suicide ideation are 12.7% among men and 20.1% among women, and for lifetime suicide attempts are 2.5% and 5.1%, respectively. Retrospective age-of-onset reports suggest that 53.4%-70% of these outcomes had preenlistment onsets. Results revealed that, for both men and women, being in the Regular Army, compared with being in the National Guard or Army Reserve, and being in an enlisted rank, compared with being an officer, is associated with increased risk of suicidal behaviors and that this elevated risk is present both before and after joining the Army.
The purpose of this study was to collect data and disseminate trends in officer-involved firearm deaths in Oklahoma from 2000 to 2015. The Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) database was searched for civilian decedents with gunshot wounds inflicted by law enforcement officers and officer decedents with gunshot wounds inflicted by civilians. Five decedents were law enforcement officers, while 274 decedents were civilians. The number of civilian decedents throughout the study followed a quadratic trend. Civilian decedents were most commonly males (95%) between the ages of 20 and 39 (64%), had one or two gunshot wounds (46%), and had an increasing number of gunshot wounds over time. Postmortem toxicology testing most commonly detected ethanol, methamphetamine, cocaine, and PCP. Efforts toward increased tracking by various agencies and more scientific studies like this are needed to facilitate future analysis of trends in officer-involved firearm deaths.
We used administrative data to examine predictors of medically documented suicide ideation (SI) among Regular Army soldiers from 2006 through 2009 (N = 10,466 ideators, 124,959 control person-months). Enlisted ideators (97.8% of all cases) were more likely than controls to be female, younger, older when entering service, less educated, never or previously deployed, and have a recent mental health diagnosis. Officer ideators were more likely than controls to be female, younger, younger when entering service, never married, and have a recent mental health diagnosis. Risk among enlisted soldiers peaked in the second month of service and declined steadily, whereas risk among officers remained relatively stable over time. Risk of SI is highest among enlisted soldiers early in Army service, females, and those with a recent mental health diagnosis.
Contrasting the classical explanation of military group cohesion as sustained by interpersonal bonds, recent scholars have highlighted the importance of ritualized communication, training and drills in explaining effective military performance in professional armies. While this has offered a welcome addition to the cohesion literature and a novel micro-sociological method of examining cohesion, its primary evidential base has been combat groups. Indeed, despite their prominent role in directing operations over the past decade, the British Army's officer corps has received relatively little attention from sociologists during this period. No attempt has been made to explain cohesion in the officer corps. Using a similar method to recent cohesion scholars, this paper seeks to address this imbalance by undertaking a micro-sociology of one ritual in particular: 'Barossa Night' in the Royal Irish Regiment. Firstly, it draws on the work of Durkheim to examine how cohesion amongst the officer corps is created and sustained through a dense array of practises during formal social rituals. It provides evidence that the use of rituals highlights that social solidarity is central to understanding officer cohesion. Secondly, following Hockey's work on how private soldiers negotiate order, the paper shows how this solidarity in the officer corps is based on a degree of negotiated order and the need to release organizational tensions inherent in a strictly hierarchical rank structure. It highlights how the awarding of gallantry medals can threaten this negotiated order and fuel deviancy. In examining this behaviour, the paper shows that even amongst an officer class traditionally viewed as the elite upholders of organizational discipline, the negotiation of rank and hierarchy can be fluid. How deviant behaviour is later accepted and normalized by senior officers indicates that negotiated order is as important to understanding cohesion in the British Army's officer corps as it is amongst private soldiers.

Retention rates measure the percentage of first-time students who return to the institution to continue their studies the following fall.
The overall graduation rate is also known as the "Student Right to Know" or IPEDS graduation rate. It tracks the progress of students who began their studies as full-time, first-time degreeor certificate-seeking students to see if they complete a degree or other award such as a certificate within 150% of "normal time" for completing the program in which they are enrolled.
Some institutions also report a transfer-out rate, which is the percentage of the full-time, first-time students who transferred to another institution.
Note that not all students at the institution are tracked for these rates. Students who have already attended another postsecondary institution, or who began their studies on a part-time basis, are not tracked for this rate. At this institution, 35 percent of entering students were counted as "full-time, first-time" in 2011.
Graduation rates can be measured over different lengths of time. "Normal time" is the typical amount of time it takes full-time students to complete their program. For example, the "normal" amount of time for many associate's degree programs is 2 years. Not all students complete within the normal time, so graduation rates are measured by other lengths of time as well, including "150% of normal time" (e.g., 3 years for a 2-year program) and "200% of normal time," or twice as long as the normal time (e.g., 4 years for a 2-year program).

Che Guevara Net Worth:
$50 Thousand
Che Guevara Net Worth: Che Guevara was an Argentine revolutionary, physician, author, diplomat, and military theorist who had a net worth of $50 thousand. Ernesto Guevara was born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina in June 1928. Guevara played a major part in the Cuban Revolution. His image is often used as a counterculture symbol of rebellion in popular culture. Che traveled throughout South America as a medical student. What he saw led him to get involved in Guatemala's social reforms. In Mexico City Guevara met Raul and Fidel Castro and joined their 26th of July Movement. He played a crucial role in a two year guerilla campaign to overthrow Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. He served in the new Cuban government. He worked as minister of industries, helped head a literacy campaign, served as national bank president for Cuba's armed forces, trained militia forces, and brought Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba. As a writer Che composed a seminal manual on guerrilla warfare and a best-selling memoir. He left Cuba in 1965 and tried to lead revolutions in Congo-Kinshasa and Bolivia. He was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. The Maryland Institute College of Art named a photo of Che titled Guerrillero Heroico the "most famous photograph in the world". Che married Aleida March in 1959 and was previously married to Hilda Gadea. He had five children. Guevara was captured by CIA assisted Bolivian forces and summarily executed on October 9, 1967 at the age of 39. In 2008, his life and work as a revolutionary was turned into a two-part film from director Steven Soderbergh, starring Benicio del Toro as Guevara. The first part, The Argentine, details his involvement with the Cuban revolution and Fidel Castro, while the second part, entitled Guerilla, deals with his time as guerilla fighter in Bolivia.
