text: ARID1A is a recently identified tumor suppressor that functions in chromatin remodeling. Inactivating mutations of ARID1A and loss of its expression most frequently occur in ovarian clear cell carcinoma, ovarian endometrioid carcinoma, and uterine endometrioid carcinoma. In this study, we performed a detailed immunostaining analysis of ARID1A in 246 cases including benign endometrium and endometrioid carcinoma at different stages of progression. Special attention was paid to recording intratumoral heterogeneity of clonal loss of ARID1A immunoreactivity. All normal endometria (n=51) and endometrial polyps (n=14) retained ARID1A expression. Among complex atypical hyperplasias (n=38), 16% exhibited clonal loss of ARID1A, but none showed complete loss. Among low-grade endometrioid carcinomas (n=88), 25% exhibited complete loss and 24% exhibited clonal loss. In contrast, 44% of high-grade endometrioid carcinomas (n=55) showed complete loss of ARID1A, and 9% exhibited clonal loss. We found that 19 high-grade carcinomas also contained concurrent low-grade carcinomas. In the high-grade areas, 63% exhibited complete loss and 11% exhibited clonal loss, whereas in the low-grade areas, 37% exhibited complete loss and 42% clonal loss. In 5 of these 19 cases, progressive loss of ARID1A from retention or clonal loss to complete loss was observed between the low-grade and high-grade areas. Overall, the percentage of complete ARID1A loss increased from 0% in complex atypical hyperplasia, to 25% in low-grade endometrioid carcinoma, to 44% in high-grade endometrioid carcinoma. These findings suggest that loss of ARID1A expression, presumably due to mutation, plays an important role in tumor progression of uterine endometrioid carcinoma.

Quieting Weapons
School illusion (glamer); Level bard 4, cleric 4, inquisitor 4, magus 4, occultist 4, psychic 4, ranger 3, sorcerer/wizard 4, spiritualist 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components S
Target up to one natural or manufactured weapon per 3 caster levels
Duration 10 minutes/level
The target weapons and any ammunition they fire make no sound as part of their normal functions as a weapon. For instance, a firearm's firing would not make an explosive sound, but if you cast this spell on a creature's bite attack, it would not prevent it from vocalizing from its mouth. The first time a creature is struck by a weapon affected by this spell, it must succeed at a Will save (SR applies to this effect) or it becomes unable to make noise louder than a whisper (Perception DC 10 to hear) whether vocally or by other means for the duration of the effect. Because the creature can still whisper, this doesn't interfere with verbal spell components. Whether it succeeds or fails its saving throw, the creature is immune to further effects from this casting of quieting weapons.

What does root pressure mean?
Definitions for root pressure
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word root pressure.
Wiktionary
 1. root pressure(Noun)
 The pressure (the result of osmosis) exerted by the roots of vascular plants that moves water into the leaves and causes guttation.
Freebase
 1. Root pressure
 Root pressure is osmotic pressure within the cells of a root system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves. Root pressure occurs in the xylem of some vascular plants when the soil moisture level is high either at night or when transpiration is low during the day. When transpiration is high, xylem sap is usually under tension, rather than under pressure, due to transpirational pull. At night in some plants, root pressure causes guttation or exudation of drops of xylem sap from the tips or edges of leaves. Root pressure is studied by removing the shoot of a plant near the soil level. Xylem sap will exude from the cut stem for hours or days due to root pressure. If a pressure gauge is attached to the cut stem, the root pressure can be measured. Root pressure is caused by active distribution of mineral nutrient ions into the root xylem. Without transpiration to carry the ions up the stem, they accumulate in the root xylem and lower the water potential. Water then diffuses from the soil into the root xylem due to osmosis. Root pressure is caused by this accumulation of water in the xylem pushing on the rigid cells. Root pressure provides a force, which pushes water up the stem, but it is not enough to account for the movement of water to leaves at the top of the tallest trees. The maximum root pressure measured in some plants can raise water only to about 7 meters, and the tallest trees are over 100 meters tall.

Erlang Run-Time System Application (ERTS)
Reference Manual
Version 11.1
Table of Contents
run_erl
Command
run_erl
Command Summary
Redirect Erlang input and output streams on Unix systems.
Description
The run_erl program is specific to Unix systems. This program redirects the standard input and standard output streams so that all output can be logged. It also lets the program to_erl connect to the Erlang console, making it possible to monitor and debug an embedded system remotely.
For more information about the use, see the Embedded System User's Guide in System Documentation.
run_erl [-daemon] pipe_dir/ log_dir "exec command arg1 arg2 ..."
Arguments:
-daemon
This option is highly recommended. It makes run_erl run in the background completely detached from any controlling terminal and the command returns to the caller immediately. Without this option, run_erl must be started using several tricks in the shell to detach it completely from the terminal in use when starting it. The option must be the first argument to run_erl on the command line.
pipe_dir
The named pipe, usually /tmp/. It must be suffixed by a / (slash), that is, /tmp/epipes/, not /tmp/epipes.
log_dir
The log files, that is:
 - One log file, run_erl.log, which logs progress and warnings from the run_erl program itself.
 - Up to five log files at maximum 100 KB each with the content of the standard streams from and to the command. (Both the number of logs and sizes can be changed by environment variables, see section Environment Variables below.)
 When the logs are full, run_erl deletes and reuses the oldest log file.
"exec command arg1 arg2 ..."
A space-separated string specifying the program to be executed. The second field is typically a command name such as erl.
Notes concerning the Log Files
While running, run_erl sends all output, uninterpreted, to a log file. The file is named erlang.log.N, where N is an integer. When the log is "full" (default log size is 100 KB), run_erl starts to log in file erlang.log.(N+1), until N reaches a certain number (default 5), whereupon N starts at 1 again and the oldest files start getting overwritten.
If no output comes from the Erlang shell, but the Erlang machine still seems to be alive, an "ALIVE" message is written to the log; it is a time stamp and is written, by default, after 15 minutes of inactivity. Also, if output from Erlang is logged, but more than 5 minutes (default) has passed since last time we got anything from Erlang, a time stamp is written in the log. The "ALIVE" messages look as follows:
===== ALIVE <date-time-string>
The other time stamps look as follows:
===== <date-time-string>
date-time-string is the date and time the message is written, default in local time (can be changed to UTC if needed). It is formatted with the ANSI-C function strftime using the format string %a %b %e %T %Z %Y, which produces messages like ===== ALIVE Thu May 15 10:13:36 MEST 2003; this can be changed, see the next section.
Environment Variables
The following environment variables are recognized by run_erl and change the logging behavior. For more information, see the previous section.
RUN_ERL_LOG_ALIVE_MINUTES
How long to wait for output (in minutes) before writing an "ALIVE" message to the log. Defaults to 15, minimum is 1.
RUN_ERL_LOG_ACTIVITY_MINUTES
How long Erlang needs to be inactive before output is preceded with a time stamp. Defaults to RUN_ERL_LOG_ALIVE_MINUTES div 3, minimum is 1.
RUN_ERL_LOG_ALIVE_FORMAT
Specifies another format string to be used in the strftime C library call. That is, specifying this to "%e-%b-%Y, %T %Z" gives log messages with time stamps like 15-May-2003, 10:23:04 MET. For more information, see the documentation for the C library function strftime. Defaults to "%a %b %e %T %Z %Y".
RUN_ERL_LOG_ALIVE_IN_UTC
If set to anything else than 0, it makes all times displayed by run_erl to be in UTC (GMT, CET, MET, without Daylight Saving Time), rather than in local time. This does not affect data coming from Erlang, only the logs output directly by run_erl. Application SASL can be modified accordingly by setting the Erlang application variable utc_log to true.
RUN_ERL_LOG_GENERATIONS
Controls the number of log files written before older files are reused. Defaults to 5, minimum is 2, maximum is 1000.
Note that, as a way to indicate the newest file, run_erl will delete the oldest log file to maintain a "hole" in the file sequences. For example, if log files #1, #2, #4 and #5 exists, that means #2 is the latest and #4 is the oldest. You will therefore at most get one less log file than the value set by RUN_ERL_LOG_GENERATIONS.
RUN_ERL_LOG_MAXSIZE
The size, in bytes, of a log file before switching to a new log file. Defaults to 100000, minimum is 1000, maximum is about 2^30.
RUN_ERL_DISABLE_FLOWCNTRL
If defined, disables input and output flow control for the pty opend by run_erl. Useful if you want to remove any risk of accidentally blocking the flow control by using Ctrl-S (instead of Ctrl-D to detach), which can result in blocking of the entire Beam process, and in the case of running heart as supervisor even the heart process becomes blocked when writing log message to terminal, leaving the heart process unable to do its work.


Many of us have heard our yoga teacher say, "Find your drishti. Fix your gaze." But did you know you had as many as nine options? Chances are that you've been practicing them all along. Regrettably, 'Where's the Clock in This Place Drishti,' 'Can My Neighbor Hold Bakasana Longer Than I Can Drishti' and 'Finding Inspiration in the Yoga Butt in Front of Me Drishti' didn't make the top nine. So where do you look, and what exactly are you supposed to be looking for?
Drishti, the Sanskrit term for sight, direction or focused gaze, is a tool used in asana practice, traditionally Ashtanga, to bring you closer to dharana (concentration) and pratyahara (sense withdrawal). Practicing drishti teaches you to control your wandering eyes, limit your intake of external stimuli and thus manage your mind instead of allowing it to manage you. These components of the eight limbs of yoga – asana, dharana and pratyahara - along with the others of yamas, niyamas, pranayama, and dhyana support the ultimate yoga goal of attaining enlightenment, or samadhi.
Not only does a fixed gaze limit visual stimuli and distraction, it also enhances your physical practice by preserving and directing your energy, enhancing alignment and even deepens a pose. Think about it. Low Lunge with an upward gaze lifts the chest, lengthens the spine, sinks the hips much more so than if we collapse the chest, hunch shoulders and look down at the toes. Downward Facing Dog's drishti is the navel, encouraging the lifting up and back of the tailbone instead of rounding the spine to check out your pedicure.
Of course, no matter the direction in which we're physically looking, drishti teaches us to hone the practice of looking inward. Drishti is a soft-focus gaze, not a piercing stare, with relaxed, possibly even gently blurred eyes. External data intake such as your reflection in the mirror and what others are doing is replaced by internal reflection. Starting to wonder if you need glasses? Let's break down the drishtis and you'll be seeing (or not-seeing) clearly in no time.
1. Thumb, or Angusthamadhye, as in Urdhva Hastasana (Upward Salute in Sun Salutation).
2. Tip of the nose, or Nasagre, as in Uttanasana (Standing Forward Fold). Also used frequently in inversions such as Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand) and backbends such as Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel) and Ustrasana (Camel).
3. Hand, or Hastagre, as practiced in poses such as Trikonasana (Triangle) and Utthita Parshvakonasana (Extended Side Angle) in which the hand directs the pose's energetic reach.
4 and 5. Sideways to the right and sideways to the left, or Parsva drishti. Parsva drishti is potentially more ambiguous than other drishtis, as "sideways" can be up for interpretation. Generally the sideways gaze follows the direction as the head, ie, upward, level, downward, etc. Practiced in twists such as Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes), Marichyasana (Marichi's Pose) and Bharadvajasana (Bharadvaja's Twist).
6. Upward, or Urdhva drishti. This drishti and both Parsva drishtis ask you to gaze into infinity instead of at a specific part of your body. You may practice this drishti in Utkatasana (Chair pose) or Virabhadrasana I (Warrior I).
7. Navel, or Nabhichakra. The navel, also referred to as the magic circle, is the focal point for poses such as Adho Mukha Svanasasana (Downward Facing Dog).
8. Toes, or Padayoragre, as in Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) and Janusirsasana (Head to Knee pose).
9. The third eye, or Bhrumadhye. Here, eyes are halfway or fully closed and gazing toward the space between the eyebrows. Asanas include Matsyasana (Fish pose), Viparita Virabhadrasana (Reverse Warrior) as well as seated meditation.
So the next time your teacher instructs you to focus, to look, to gaze, ask yourself what it is that you now see.

listed in the'method. field of the net header). These DEmmm.EXE files MUST be supplied by the NC of each network, and each network's DEmmm.EXE are unique to that network. That is, NETXX's DE1.EXE will not handle method 1 messages from WWIVLink, nor vice versa.
When a message is encountered with'method!=0', the following steps are taken:
 1. The local packet analyzer writes out the text of the message (no header or node list) to a temporary file (TEMPDE.XXX) in the data directory for the relevant network.
 2. A command line for calling the appropriate DEmmm.EXE is created using the C command "sprintf(cmd, "de%u %s/", nh.method, net_data);" ('nh' is a structure of type net_header_record, 'net_data' is the network data directory). The command is then executed.
 3. The DEmmm.EXE program is then responsible for reading the TEMPDE.XXX in from disk, deleting it, then attempting to decode it. Two things can then happen: a. If the TEMPDE.XXX fails decoding (bad CRC), DEmmm.EXE just exits (returning to the local packet analyzer). If the analyzer finds the TEMPDE.XXX file does not exist, the message is deleted and the program goes to the next packet. b. If the CRC checks out in the DEmmm.EXE program, it writes out the decoded text into a new TEMPDE.XXX file and exits. The local packet analyzer reads in the data from that file and replaces the text of the message with that, then goes ahead and processes the packet as determined by main_type.
Network operators who wish to write EN/DE programs for their own netwide messages may wish to consider using the RSAREF library to develop their own source-verification scheme.
D. Main and Minor Message Types
The main and minor type of each message determines how it is processed (where it goes, whether it's a sub post, email, or network info, etc.). The analyzer reads the message header in first to get the main and minor types, then performs the operation indicated by those fields.
Here is a list of the main_ and minor_types, along with the WWIV BBS _TAG_ name and descriptions of the processing required. Encoding method is assumed to be zero unless otherwise noted. Note that while these descriptions concern analyzing local mail packets, they also apply to how to create outgoing netmail packets.
main_type 1 (0x0001) -- main_type_net_info
These messages contain various network information files, encoded with method 1 (requiring DE1.EXE). Once DE1.EXE has verified the source and returned to the analyzer, the file is created in the network's DATA directory with the filename determined by the minor_type (except minor_type 1).
Minor Type Description
0 Feedback to sysop from the NC. This is sent to the #1 account as source-verified email.
1 BBSLIST.NET -- Node list.
2 CONNECT.NET -- Connections list.
3 SUBS.LST -- List of subboards ("subs") available through the network. This has been replaced by main_type 9.
4 WWIVNEWS.NET -- An electronic magazine of sorts distributed within some networks, usually monthly.
5 FBACKHDR.NET -- a header file added to network update reports for the network.
6 Additional WWIVNEWS.NET text -- appended to the existing WWIVNEWS.NET file.
7 CATEG.NET -- List of sub categories. WWIV's sub setup facility uses this list so the sysop can specify what category a netted sub falls into. The network's SUBS.LST compiler uses this information for compiling the subs lists sent out as main_type 9.
8 NETWORKS.LST -- A list of all current NETXX type networks.
This message type is source-verified. That is, there is a digital signature at the beginning of the message text which is decoded by the DE1.EXE to verify that it has come from a "legal" source. This helps make sure that the network info will only come from the Network Coordinator. If the sourceverification fails, the packet is discarded.
main_type 2 (0x0002) -- main_type_email
This is regular email sent to a user number at this system (see tosys and touser, above). Note that this type of mail should only be received by systems that assign numbers to users (WWIV, VBBS, etc.). BBSes in a WWIV network that only identify users by name (PCBoard, RBBS, etc.) can only receive email-by-name (see main_type 7, below). Email has no minor type, so minor_type will always be zero.
Processing of the email is straightforward. The analyzer looks for the user number indicated by the touser field. If the number exists and the user has not been deleted from the BBS, the message is written into the email file, addressed to the user indicated. If the number does not exist or the user at that number has been deleted, the packet is deleted without processing. Alternatively, the analyzer may generate a return message (as email) to the sender telling him that the mail was not delivered and quoting the message back to him.
main_type 3 (0x0003) -- main_type_post
NET51 and later only supports type main_type_new_post.
main_type 4 (0x0004) -- UNUSED
main_type 5 (0x0005) -- main_type_obsolete_pre_post
NET51 only suppors type main_type_new_post.
text (and the list_len field modified reflecting the addition of the node list). If the file cannot be found, the analyzer assumes the BBS does not host the sub and deletes the packet.
Many WWIV sysops use a feature of the software known as network validation ("netval"). When a sub is set for netval (this is found in the SUBS.DAT record for the sub), the analyzer does not send the post out to the network. The sysop must validate the post on the BBS, at which point it is sent out by the BBS. This also applies to pre-posts for main_type 26 (main_type_new_post).
main_type 6 (0x0006) -- main_type_unused_external
main_type 7 (0x0007) -- main_type_email_name
The other email type. The touser field is zero, and the name is found at the beginning of the message text, followed by a NUL character. Minor_type will always be zero.
When this type of packet is encountered, the analyzer gets the name from the beginning of the message text and searches through the BBS's user list to find the specified name. If it is found, the message is written into the email file for the BBS. If it is not, the message will be deleted or a return email may be sent back to the sender, explaining that the message was not delivered and quoting the email back.
The destination user's name is prepended to the beginning of the message text, followed by a NUL, then the rest of the usual message header info and the message text. The message header info at the beginning of email-by-name messages is thus
main_type 8 (0x0008) -- main_type_obsolete_net_edit
main_type 9 (0x0009) -- main_type_sub_list
Networks with large subs lists (over 32k) break them up into parts and send the set out under this main type rather than the subs.lst type under main_type 1. The minor_type indicates the part of the subs list.
When the analyzer processes this type, it creates a file in the appropriate network directory and copies the message text into it. Minor_type zero creates the file SUBS.LST, and all other minor_types create a SUBS.x file where 'x' is the minor_type.
main_type 10 (0x000a) -- UNUSED
main_type 11 (0x000b) -- main_type_not_implemented_group_bbslist
main_type 12 (0x000c) -- main_type_not_implemented_group_connect
main_type 13 (0x000d) -- UNUSED
main_type 14 (0x000e) -- main_type_not_implemented_group_info
main_type 15 (0x000f) -- main_type_ssm
WWIV BBSes also send out small messages, known as "SSMs", across the network. These are little one-line messages generally telling users when their mail has been read and so forth. Some BBSes have been modified to send other types of messages. At any rate, main_type handles these small messages. Minor_type is always zero.
Like email, the analyzer searches for the user number in the BBS's user list. If found, the message is written into the SSM file for the BBS. Since this is a feature most non-WWIV systems do not support, they can be ignored.
One feature of WWIV networking is the ability fpr network sysops to send "REQs" to the hosts of subs, enabling them to automati cally subscribe to and drop subs they belong to. Main_types 16 through 19 handle REQs and their responses.
main_type 16 (0x0010) -- main_type_sub_add_req
This is for requests to add the sending system to a sub's subscriber list. Minor_type will be the numeric sub type, or zero for alphanumeric sub types. For minor_type==0, the sub type (followed by NUL) will be the message text.

High-income earners are extremely vulnerable during a disability, because they may only have 25-40 percent or less of their income protected through group LTD and Personal DI policies. High Limit Disability Insurance (HLDI) policies offer incredibly high amounts of coverage, with policies that can have coverage limits of $200,000 a month and higher.
Highly compensated people are unable to secure the amount of disability insurance coverage they need due to participation limits. Participation limits refer to the maximum amount of DI coverage offered, including coverage from other DI policies, that an insurance company can issue.
The result is that high-income earners are extremely vulnerable during a disability, because they may only have 25 - 40 percent or less of their income protected. Some forms of income such as commissions, bonuses and a K-1 might also not be covered under a traditional policy.
High-limit disability (HLDI) policies offer incredibly high amounts of coverage, with policies that can be written specifically for individuals and groups. HLDI policies can have coverage limits of $200,000 a month and higher. Also, lump sum payments as high as 10 times an individual's annual income are available to meet the specific needs of a client.
Remember, high income doesn't necessarily go hand in hand with being self-insured against a disability. A high-income earner isn't self-insured against a disability until that individual has enough cash flow from assets to provide support through a disability.
Even then, there are the additional risks of changing interest rates, management of those assets (like real estate) and other market fluctuation that effect the performance of those assets. The problem for high-income earners is no different from anyone who needs to work to make ends meet, except that a high-income earner's needed coverage amounts are much higher.

adjective, un·ru·li·er, un·ru·li·est.
not submissive or conforming to rule; ungovernable; turbulent; intractable; refractory; lawless: an unruly class; an unruly wilderness.
Origin: 1350–1400; Middle English unruely, Related forms
equivalent to unun-1
+ ruly, ruely
governable, controllable; see rule
disobedient, unmanageable, uncontrollable, stubborn, disorderly, riotous. Unruly, intractable, recalcitrant, refractory describe persons or things that resist management or control. Unruly suggests persistently disorderly behavior or character in persons or things: an unruly child, peevish and willful; wild, unruly hair. Intractable suggests in persons a determined resistance to all attempts to guide or direct them, in things a refusal to respond to attempts to shape, improve, or modify them: an intractable social rebel; a seemingly intractable problem in logistics. recalcitrant and refractory imply not only a lack of submissiveness but also an open, often violent, rebellion against authority or direction. Recalcitrant the stronger of the two terms, suggests a stubborn and absolute noncompliance: a recalcitrant person, openly contemptuous of all authority. Refractory implies active, mulish disobedience, but leaves open the possibility of eventual compliance: refractory students, resisting efforts to interest them in their studies.

Land leases must be in writing to avail of tax exemptions
A Land Lease sets out both parties' obligations and provides useful legal protection
Leasing is appealing to farmers on many levels. Landowners who do not wish to farm the land are happy to lease their lands to active farmers who wish to expand their production.
The landowners may have recently retired or inherited the land, and may not wish to farm the land, and it is of interest to an active farmer who would like to farm the land, but does not want to bear the high costs of purchasing the land.
There are also tax incentives for farmers to enter into a Land lease arrangement.
A lease document is a written legal agreement between a lessor (the landowner or landlord) and a lessee (the active farmer or tenant).
The lease sets out the obligations of both parties during the period of the lease, providing useful legal protection to all parties.
The lease must be signed by both parties.
Signatures on the lease must be witnessed by an independent person or persons.
A Land lease must be in writing in order to avail of the favorable income tax exemptions.
Lease agreement templates are readily available, and the Irish Farmers Association has produced a precedent master agricultural lease.
But it is advisable to seek the advice of a solicitor, in order to adapt the lease agreement to the specific needs of both the lessor and the lessee in each individual case.
It is imperative that suitable terms are agreed for both parties, and that parties are aware of and understand the nature of the terms they are entering into, and they have obtained the appropriate legal advice in respect of what they are signing.
We recommend that the farmers consider the following points when entering into a lease agreement:
* The lands leased should be agreed beforehand normally, by referring to a folio and a map where the lands are clearly marked.
* What is the term of the lease, and how much rent is to be paid, and when should the rent be paid?
* Is there a rent review clause?
A farmer may be reluctant to become locked into high or low land rents. This can be rectified by making provision in the lease for regular rent reviews during the term of the lease.
* The specific purpose such as tillage or grazing for which the lessee intends to use the lands should be set out in the lease.
* The Land lease must provide that insurance is in place, in order that the lessor is indemnified for all claims or liabilities arising from the lessee's user of the property.
It is also important that the lessor has his or her own public liability insurance.
The lessor will also need to take out insurance.
* If a farmer is leasing the basic payment entitlements, appropriate clauses must be included in the lease, to ensure that the basic payment entitlements revert to the lessor, on the termination of the lease, and that in the event of the lessee not receiving his or her basic payment entitlements, this should not affect the validity of the agreement, and that the monies will still be due and owing to the lessor.
It is recommended a clause is put in, obliging the lessee to process and lodge all paperwork with the Department of Agriculture by the required deadline for the purpose of claiming any entitlements payable.
* A lessee should not have a right to sub-let the land without the lessor's prior written consent, and this should be provided for in the lease.
* A clause should be put in place in the Land lease, prohibiting automatic right of renewal, which is known as a renunciation clause.
The Landlord and Tenant (Amendment) Acts allow the renewal of the lease at market rent, where the property being leased consists predominantly of buildings, and where the land attached to those buildings is considered to be "subsidiary and ancillary" to the building.
Farmers should be aware of this.
Where there are buildings on the land it may be advisable to draft two separate leases.
* It is important that there is provision in the lease covering the manner and time in which notice of termination by either party must be served, if either party wishes to end the lease.
* It is important to make provision for all eventualities in the lease, such as a child who wishes to construct a dwelling house on part of the lands.
The above list is not exhaustive, and any farmer who is contemplating leasing his or her lands should consult a solicitor with experience in the area of agricultural leases, so as to ensure that he or she is fully protected against unexpected pitfalls.

Sarah Maribu and her brother Michael are two archaeologists and explorers, that arrive by helicopter to an uncharted island and start to investigate the temples and other structures of a lost civilization.
Sarah Maribu and the Lost World is a hidden object game with elements of the adventure genre. Most of the time, the objective is to find and click on all the items shown as pictures on slots at the left side of the screen, on locations filled with assorted paraphernalia scattered throughout the scenery. The hint button shows the position of one of the required items, but takes thirty seconds to recharge after use. Some of the objects are stored inside the inventory, to be used later when solving puzzles.
The inventory can be accessed through the tools button at the bottom-left corner, sliding upwards to reveal all of its compartments. The objects have to be used as in most point-and-click adventures, by dragging and dropping them over logical places to perform an action or complete a task. Some of the objects can only be found inside one of the interactive windows showing another angle of the location, that appear after clicking on certain hotspots.
There are mini-games between each chapter, like the Simon implementation where the player has to repeat a color sequence in a set of drums, the weights puzzle where statuettes have to be distributed on columns to reach equilibrium, and other similar challenges.

guide plates in cultural world heritage sites. The smartphone is a good solution to send such information to such visitors. This application was designed using a combination of the smartphone and beacons, set in the area, so that when a tourist passes near a beacon, the application displays information about the area including a map, historical or cultural information about the temples and shrines, and local shops nearby as well as a bus timetable. It is useful for foreigners, too. In addition, we developed quizzes relating to the culture and tradition of Nikko to provide information based on the Zeigarnik effect, a psychological effect. According to the results of our trials, tourists positively evaluated the basic information and young people who used the quiz function were able to learn the historical and cultural points. This application helped young visitors at Nikko to understand the cultural elements of the site. In addition, this application has a function to send notifications. This function is designed to provide information about the local community such as shops, local transportation companies and information office. The application hopes to also encourage people living in the area, and such cooperation from the local people will make this application vivid and inspire young visitors to feel that the cultural heritage site is still alive today. This is a gateway for young people to learn about a traditional place and understand the gravity of preserving such areas.

32 LaPEA: Language for Preprocessing of Edge Applications in Smart Factory
Authors: Masaki Sakai, Tsuyoshi Nakajima, Kazuya Takahashi
Abstract:
In order to improve the productivity of a factory, it is often the case to create an inference model by collecting and analyzing operational data off-line and then to develop an edge application (EAP) that evaluates the quality of the products or diagnoses machine faults in real-time. To accelerate this development cycle, an edge application framework for the smart factory is proposed, which enables to create and modify EAPs based on prepared inference models. In the framework, the preprocessing component is the key part to make it work. This paper proposes a language for preprocessing of edge applications, called LaPEA, which can flexibly process several sensor data from machines into explanatory variables for an inference model, and proves that it meets the requirements for the preprocessing.

30 Learning Algorithms for Fuzzy Inference Systems Composed of Double- and Single-Input Rule Modules
Authors: Hirofumi Miyajima, Kazuya Kishida, Noritaka Shigei, Hiromi Miyajima
Abstract:
Most of self-tuning fuzzy systems, which are automatically constructed from learning data, are based on the steepest descent method (SDM). However, this approach often requires a large convergence time and gets stuck into a shallow local minimum. One of its solutions is to use fuzzy rule modules with a small number of inputs such as DIRMs (Double-Input Rule Modules) and SIRMs (Single-Input Rule Modules). In this paper, we consider a (generalized) DIRMs model composed of double and single-input rule modules. Further, in order to reduce the redundant modules for the (generalized) DIRMs model, pruning and generative learning algorithms for the model are suggested. In order to show the effectiveness of them, numerical simulations for function approximation, Box-Jenkins and obstacle avoidance problems are performed.

29 Towards Developing a Self-Explanatory Scheduling System Based on a Hybrid Approach
Authors: Jian Zheng, Yoshiyasu Takahashi, Yuichi Kobayashi, Tatsuhiro Sato
Abstract:
In the study, we present a conceptual framework for developing a scheduling system that can generate self-explanatory and easy-understanding schedules. To this end, a user interface is conceived to help planners record factors that are considered crucial in scheduling, as well as internal and external sources relating to such factors. A hybrid approach combining machine learning and constraint programming is developed to generate schedules and the corresponding factors, and accordingly display them on the user interface. Effects of the proposed system on scheduling are discussed, and it is expected that scheduling efficiency and system understandability will be improved, compared with previous scheduling systems.

28 Development of 25A-Size Three-Layer Metal Gasket by Using FEM Simulation
Authors: Shigeyuki Haruyama, I Made Gatot Karohika, Akinori Sato, Didik Nurhadiyanto, Ken Kaminishi
Abstract:
Contact width and contact stress are important design parameters for optimizing corrugated metal gasket performance based on elastic and plastic contact stress. In this study, we used a three-layer metal gasket with Al, Cu, Ni as the outer layer, respectively. A finite element method was employed to develop simulation solution. The gasket model was simulated by using two simulation stages which are forming and tightening simulation. The simulation result shows that aluminum with tangent modulus, Ehal = Eal/150 has the highest slope for contact width. The slope of contact width for plastic mode gasket was higher than the elastic mode gasket.

27 Preliminary Evaluation of Passive UHF-Band RFID for Identifying Floating Objects on the Sea
Authors: Yasuhiro Sato, Kodai Noma, Kenta Sawada, Kazumasa Adachi, Yoshinori Matsuura, Saori Iwanaga
Abstract:
RFID system is used to identify objects such as passenger identification in public transportation, instead of linear or 2-dimensional barcodes. Key advantages of RFID system are to identify objects without physical contact, and to write arbitrary information into RFID tag. These advantages may help to improve maritime safety and efficiency of activity on the sea. However, utilization of RFID system for maritime scenes has not been considered. In this paper, we evaluate the availability of a generic RFID system operating on the sea. We measure RSSI between RFID tag floating on the sea and RFID antenna, and check whether a RFID reader can access a tag or not, while the distance between a floating buoy and the ship, and the angle are changed. Finally, we discuss the feasibility and the applicability of RFID system on the sea through the results of our preliminary experiment.

26 Improvement of Frictional Coefficient of Modified Shoe Soles onto Icy and Snowy Road by Tilting of Added Glass Fibers into Rubber
Authors: Wakayama Shunya, Okubo Kazuya, Fujii Toru, Sakata Daisuke, Kado Noriyuki, Furutachi Hiroshi
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to propose an effective method to improve frictional coefficient of modified shoe rubber soles with added glass fibers onto the icy and snowy road surfaces in order to prevent slip-and-fall accidents by the users. Added fibers in the rubber were uniformly tilted to the perpendicular direction of the frictional surface, where tilting angle was -60, -30, +30, +60, 90 degrees and 0 for usual specimen, respectively. It was found that horizontal arraignment was effective to improve the frictional coefficient when glass fibers were embedded in the shoe rubber, while the standing in normal direction of the embedded glass fibers on the shoe surface was also effective to do that once after they were exposed from the shoe rubber with its abrasion. These improvements were explained by the increase of stiffness against the shear deformation of the rubber at the critical frictional state and the enlargement of resistance force for extracting exposed fibers from the ice and snow, respectively. Current study suggested that effective arraignments in the tilting angle of the added fibers should be applied in designing rubber shoe soles to keep the safeties for uses in regions of cold climates.

text: This article uses framing theory to examine how activists and trade unions have framed labour's political agenda in Malaysia. A polity grounded in ethnicity continues to hinder the formation of cross-ethnic collective worker identities and labour politics. However, inclusive popular democratising movements have strengthened in recent years, providing a favourable context for greater emphasis on non-ethnic political action by trade unions. The latter have shifted in this direction, adopting elements of the popular movement's 'human rights' internationalism. Thus, the democratic movement's frame has influenced that of the trade unions, with implications for framing theory.

Port path opened24/01/19
A SIX-FIGURE investment in the city's walking and cycling infrastructure welcomed its first users today (THURSDAY).
More than £376,000 was put into new surfacing, a boundary fence and improved lighting on a stretch of shared use path through The Port of Dundee.
Lynne Short convener of Dundee City Council's city development committee said: "This is a flat route alongside the river and now that it is smoother and better lit it will be easier for cyclists and pedestrians to use.
"The investment in these enhancements was specifically made to encourage walking and cycling, not just for leisure and pleasure, but also as a useful and practical alternative to using the car."
An agreement between the city council and Forth Ports, the port owners, opened up access through the harbour area via the path.
David Webster, senior port manager at The Port of Dundee added: "The cycle path through the port has always been popular and with the improvements to the route and the surface, even more people can enjoy a safe journey on bike or foot to and from the City Centre."
Forming part of the National and North Sea cycle routes and also the local Green Circular the path is popular with walkers and cyclists.
The project was awarded funding as part of the Low Carbon Travel and Transport Challenge Fund established by Transport Scotland from funds awarded under European Regional Development Fund 2014-2020. The fund helps develop new active or low carbon travel options across Scotland. The work was carried out by Tayside Contracts.
Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity Michael Matheson said: "I'm proud that this government continues to support high impact projects to help encourage the shift towards active and low carbon modes of travel and transportation.
"Through the Low Carbon Travel and Transport Challenge Fund, we are supporting many projects across Scotland which increase travel options for sustainable, active or low carbon transportation.
The improved path through the port, for those on foot and by bike is now much easier to undertake. It will be good to see more and more eople begin to adopt the route as an everyday part of their journey between home and city centre.
Matthew Eastwood, Head of Transport at Energy Saving Trust commented: "The Low Carbon Travel and Transport Challenge Fund has funded a wide range of projects across Scotland to deliver active travel and low carbon hubs and paths.
"The Docks Way in Dundee supports active travel through the provision of an accessible walking and cycling route, highlighting Dundee City Council's commitment to support sustainable and active travel across the city."
Kevin Cordell who is Dundee City Council's spokesperson on cycling said: "The newly opened path will form part what is already a popular commuter route between Broughty Ferry and the city centre.
"The cycle counter at the Douglas Terrace end of the path has already shown that tens of thousands of journeys have been made since it was installed in June demonstrating the value of our investment in getting more people cycling, more often."
The works at the path are part of Dundee City Council's wider commitment to increase cycling, walking and more sustainable forms of transport across the city.

8. No absolute property in wild animals.
There is no absolute property in wild animals while living, and they are not goods or chattels1. There may, however, be what is known as a qualified property in them, either:

 (2) ratione impotentiae et loci3; or
 (3) ratione soli and ratione privilegii4.
This qualified property is defeasible, for if the animal has no intention to return, but resumes its wildness and is at large again and not under pursuit, it is free and may be taken by another person

The second half of the twentieth century bore witness to significant declines in mortality among children in the developing world. Ghana was no exception, experiencing declines in mortality from the 1950s Onward. A series of Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in Ghana documented substantial improvements in infant and childhood mortality rates between 1988 and 1998. The results of the 2003 survey, however, indicated that these rates had plateaued (stagnated) at high levels. There was some concern that mortality might even be on the rise.
The purpose of this analysis is to determine whether the stagnation in the decline in childhood mortality in Ghana is real, to describe and evaluate trends in mortality, and to examine the key factors likely to influence mortality levels. This analysis suggests that the apparent uptick in mortality seen in the 2003 GDHS is largely a function of the underestimation of mortality in the previous survey.
Thus, while there is no evidence to conclude that child mortality in Ghana is increasing, the past three Ghana DHS surveys provide substantial evidence that the decline in mortality in Ghana has stagnated at high levels. The trend data reviewed here suggest that there may be a continuing problem with children receiving adequate nourishment. There is also room for improvement in maternal and child health care indicators. Policies and programs designed to improve these indicators may help to facilitate the resumption of the downward trend in childhood mortality rates in Ghana.

Not knowing what propagation methods you have tried, it is possible that your choice is not appropriate for shrubs. Question: What is the root system of an established corkscrew hazelnut? To keep these desirable genotypes true to type, asexual propagation is necessary and may be achieved in hazelnuts through layering, tissue culture, or stem cuttings (Hartmann et al.

I did deduce my hedgerow hazelnut production concept from the "centuries-old" British method of growing hazel from coppices for post, poles and firewood. Despite the wide use of grafting for plant propagation in commercial nurseries, it is uncommon in hazelnut (Fideghelli & De Salvador, 2009 ).

The other thing to consider is that contorted hazelnut cannot spend the year in the house. The most promising method is by micropropagation, which can produce thousands of new plants within a season. The seeds of some hybrids are sterile, while other almond cultivar seeds may be viable but will not produce true to type plants. Areas that support apple and tender fruit orchards are suitable for hazelnut production. It needs a cold rest period and outside is not the place for this. methods of propagation that would otherwise be preferred (Lagerstedt, 1970). I am just starting on hazelnut propagation.

After 10 weeks in the rooting media root growth was measured. To investigate effectiveness of propagation with layering method with a view to regenerate aged hazelnut plantations and to supply producers rapidly with the varieties developed through breeding. Hazelnut can be vegetatively propagated by rooted suckers, layering and grafting. Propagation is usually done by grafting but you can also try layering or soft wood cuttings. methods of propagation, such as grafting, cutting and micro propagation have been used (Olsen and Smith, 2013). Almond Propagation Methods. I have 15 hazelnut trees (Corylus Avellana), top quality landraces, 20+ years old, 5+metres, each 3-7 clumping stems, NEVER fertilized, NEVER irrigated, NEVER treated for pests (no squirrel issues), NEVER weeded between trees (least of all with roundup). The most successful method of propagating filberts is by layering. Trees require cool, moist winters with sufficient chill to break the dormancy of the flowering and vegatative buds about 700 to 900 hours and cool summers. Although various claims have been made for the success of hazelnut micropropagation, to date significant barriers remain for its full commercialization. Propagation methods While it is possible to propagate filberts from cuttings, the success rate for obtaining rooted cuttings is usually only between 20 and 50%. Infection of European hazelnut by Anisogramma anomala: Ascospore adhesion, mode of penetration of immature shoots, and host response.

MyHeritage welcomes you to a new weekly blog post, "Surname of the week." We'll discuss the origin, history and other information of one surname in each post.
Surnames first appeared in the Middle Ages as a way to record and document people and for tax purposes. Details included given names, nicknames, parents' names, occupation and residence. This personal information later became an important part of the history of surnames.
English surnames, as we know them today, began in England as early as the 11th century. However, it was not until the late-17th-century that many families adopted permanent surnames.
Generally speaking, family names fall into the following categories with some examples given:
- Occupation: Smith, Taylor or Miller
- Personal characteristics: Young, Black or White
- Geographic or locations: Hamilton, Bush, Hill, Windsor or Murray
- Patronymics, Matronymics or Ancestral: Stephenson, Richardson or Harris
In honor of American-British Actress Elizabeth Taylor's birthday, we look at TAYLOR this week:
MyHeritage heads to London this week for the leading family history show, Who Do You Think You Are? LIVE, from February 22-24.
The event, at the Olympia Exhibition Halls, features genealogy workshops, expert speakers, vendors and more to help with your family history research.
We've recently added millions of new records to MyHeritage's data collections.
The international collections include headstones, military records, yearbooks and even wanted posters and mugshots!
The records are searchable on MyHeritage's SuperSearch engine and are integrated with MyHeritage's Record Matching technology. This means that MyHeritage users will automatically receive notifications about records from these collections that match individuals in their family trees.
Here's some more information and links to the main collections we've added:
Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally observed in the UK and Commonwealth on December 26, but has nothing to do with the sport of the same name!
Where did it originate?
There are various opinions about its origins.
One view is that it comes from a very early Christian custom where boxes were left outside of churches for people to donate offerings for the Feast of Saint Stephen.
The European belief is that it stems from a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages where people would give money and gifts to needy tradesmen. In Britain, it was customary for tradesmen to collect boxes of money or presents, as thanks for their services, much like the concept of the Christmas bonus that many companies in western countries have adopted.
In the days when wealthy aristocrats employed servants to manage their homes, servants would have to work on Christmas Day, but would be given the next day as a holiday. The masters would give the servants a box of presents and leftovers to take home to their families.
Today, Boxing Day in the UK is mainly about shopping. Most people who celebrate Christmas will have spent a large amount of time and money shopping before the holiday, buying food for their festive dinner and presents for their family. To entice people back to the stores, Boxing Day is the day retailers traditionally hold sales. In this regard, it's very similar to Black Friday in the US.
As many families come together for the holidays, Boxing Day is also a ''bonus'' family day.
Are you celebrating Boxing Day? If so, how?

We're now hoping to help Gudrun, who's been searching for her biological father for over 30 years. She's tried everything, without success. Now we're asking our readers for help. Each bit of information could be vitally important for Gudrun.
Here's her story:
For over 30 years, I've been searching for my biological father whom I've never met. When my mother died in 1989, she told me that his name was SIDNEY or SYDNEY SMITH. Unfortunately, there are a lot of spellings of this common name.
The Queen was born Princess Elizabeth of York on 21 April 1926, and was third in line to the throne, after Edward, Prince of Wales (King Edward VIII), and The Duke of York, her father.
When King George V, the Queen's grandfather, died in 1936, Edward VIII became King. However, within a year the King abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson. This meant that the Queen's father, King George VI, became King, thus putting the now-Queen first in line to the throne.

Security lapse at India's Jio exposed coronavirus symptom checker results
Since the start of the outbreak, governments and companies have scrambled to develop apps and websites that can help users identify COVID-19 symptoms.
India's largest cell network Jio, a subsidiary of Reliance, launched its coronavirus self-test symptom checker in late March, just before the Indian government imposed a strict nationwide lockdown to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus. The symptom checker allows anyone to check their symptoms from their phone or Jio's website to see if they may have become infected with COVID-19.
But a security lapse exposed one of the symptom checker's core databases to the internet without a password, TechCrunch has found.
Jio's coronavirus symptom checker. One of its databases exposed users' responses. (Image: TechCrunch)
Security researcher Anurag Sen found the database on May 1, just after it was first exposed, and informed TechCrunch to notify the company. Jio quickly pulled the system offline after TechCrunch made contact. It's not known if anyone else accessed the database.
"We have taken immediate action," said Jio spokesperson Tushar Pania. "The logging server was for monitoring performance of our website, intended for the limited purpose of people doing a self-check to see if they have any COVID-19 symptoms."
The database contains millions of logs and records starting April 17 through to the time that the database was pulled offline. Although the server contained a running log of website errors and other system messages, it also ingested vast numbers of user-generated self-test data. Each self-test was logged in the database and included a record of who took the test — such as "self" or a relative, their age, and their gender.
The data also included the person's user agent, a small snippet of information about the user's browser version and the operating system, often used to load the website properly but can also be used to track a user's online activity.
The database also contains individual records of those who signed up to create a profile, allowing users to update their symptoms over time. These records contained the answers to each question asked by the symptom checker, including what symptoms they are experiencing, who they have been in contact with, and what health conditions they may have.
Some of the records also contained the user's precise location, but only if the user allowed the symptom checker access to their browser or phone's location data.
We've posted a redacted portion of one of the records below.

From one sample of data we obtained, we found thousands of users' precise geolocation from across India. TechCrunch was able to identify people's homes using the latitude and longitude records found in the database.
Most of the location data is clustered around major cities, like Mumbai and Pune. TechCrunch also found users in the United Kingdom and North America.
The exposure could not come at a more critical time for the Indian telecoms giant. Last week Facebook invested $5.7 billion for a near-10% stake in Jio's Platforms, valuing the Reliance subsidiary at about $66 billion.
Jio did not answer our follow-up questions, and the company did not say if it will inform those who used the symptom tracker of the security lapse.

This model demonstrates the use of GoldSim's optimization feature to calibrate a snowmelt model by automatically adjusting parameters to achieve correlation between historic streamflow record and streamflow calculated in the model. The historic record used to drive the snowmelt model includes temperature and precipitation. Calibration accuracy is measured using an R2 factor. Five model parameters are used as optimization variables and the objective function is to maximize the R^2 factor, which is documented in the model. An R^2 value of 1.0 indicates perfect calibration.
The optimization parameters include recession constants (x, y), and the degree-day factor (a).
The snowmelt-runoff model (SRM) is known to provide support for reservoir operators and water supply managers in anticipating and acting on changes in snowmelt runoff. WinSRM can be used for predicting snowmelt runoff which can then be incorporated into a reservoir model to estimate fill targets for the early summer months and often provides decision makers with increased knowledge for their annual strategic planning. To further understand their risks, modelers can use model results from SRM and statistically analyze them to quantify risks probabilistically. Refer to the Snowmelt-Runoff Model User's Manual for more information about the SRM model.

7 Health Benefits of Taking Transit to Work
While it may not be realistic in all cases, many people are in a position to ditch their personal vehicle and hop on a bus or subway to get to their jobs (or anywhere, really). While it might be a tough transition at first, there are actually benefits to doing it.
Healthline.com says, "Sitting in a car is probably the least healthy way to commute." While walking or cycling are the best choices, "public transit, it turns out, is a healthier alternative to driving," it adds. Let's look at seven reasons why this is…
1. Daily Driving Detracts from Happiness
HealthLine.com explains further that there's a direct correlation between the amount of time you spend in a car, and your level of happiness. This is because you can start to feel pressure to get to work on time (sometimes fighting traffic) when you drive yourself, it explains.
This doesn't just mean that drivers who sit in traffic longer are less happy during their commute; it appears to apply to their overall happiness. "If you put in a full day at work and then have an extended commute, you don't have a lot of time left to unwind," explains the source.
2. Cars Mean Breathing Emissions
Waiting at red lights or stop-and-go traffic may actually be harming your health more than you realize, according to a 2014 article in the Toronto Star. "There's clearly exposure to all kinds of pollutants, some of which are irritants to the lungs, some of which are not good for your cardiovascular system, some of which are carcinogenic," reads the article.
Emissions can be even worse when you're at a standstill, putting more strain on your lungs, adds the source. You could probably make an argument that you'd breathe in some emissions on a bus, but many cities have dedicated bus lanes that mean less stop and go (not to mention you can blame the bus driver for being late for work, and not yourself for leaving too late).
3. You'll Get More Exercise with Transit
When you take your car to work, your walk is often limited to your front door to your driveway, and then your work parking lot to your desk – maybe a grand total of 100-feet. When you take transit, you often are walking to a transit stop, or going up and down stairs. In fact, "Individuals who use public transportation get over three times the amount of physical activity per day of those who don't," according to TransLoc.com.
So if your brisk walking to the transit mode of choice is 22-minutes or more, you're meeting the daily guidelines set out by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This can help lower your risk of serious diseases such as vascular diseases, strokes, cancer and even depression, according to the source.
4. Transit Options Benefit Everyone
When you decide to hop on a transit route instead of into your gas-guzzling SUV (that you usually ride to work alone in), you're helping more than yourself– you're benefitting everyone around you by reducing your carbon footprint.
TransLoc.com explains that "pollution is estimated to cause as many deaths per year as traffic accidents," and we'll talk about safety of taking transit vs. driving next. The source notes that newer buses that use alternative fuels actually produce less pollution per passenger mile than cars.
5. Transit Means Less Chance of Being in an Accident
As a message thread on Quora.com details, there are much fewer deaths per passenger mile in a bus than in a car. The source points out this could be due to the fact bus drivers are seasoned professionals, and less likely to be intoxicated behind the wheel.
However, while buses are safer on the road (also consider that a car running into a bus will probably do a lot less damage than another car), we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the source also points out that walking to a transit stop can be inherently dangerous (presumably because a drunk driver in a car could run you over on the way there, among other scenarios).
6. Transit Takers are More Socially Engaged
This may tie back into the first point about losing quality time when you sit in traffic to and from work every day, but TreeHugger.com points out that taking transit means "gaining the chance to engage more actively with one's community and the outdoors."
The source also explains that even when it's less than ideal weather for walking, "a little sunshine and even some rain and snow can do the spirit a load of good." Just make sure you're dressed for the occasion like any other situation, and you should be fine.
7. Transit is Cheaper
TransLoc.com explains that taking the bus (or other form of transit) is also healthy for your wallet. "Car payments, gas prices and parking can be a major budget drain," it explains, but choosing transit could line your pockets with significantly more money annually =–$6,251, to be more exact.
The source points out that having more money may translate into better living conditions and the ability to afford a healthier diet, not to mention getting better medical care (and being able to afford health insurance) according to the source.

Its name derives from the shape of a manji, 卍, as the formation requires a person facing outwards at all four points, where the four ninja's backs face each other. Each person is responsible to guard against the area straight ahead of them and to the left, as the manji suggests. This formation has one blind spot: the centre.

Sounds interesting, but I do not quite get it yet. In the third displayed equality, the exponent should be $2/n$; correct? Could you explain why "$F$ maps conformally the exterior etc" (and what are the $a_i$s)? Exactly what do you mean by $F(z)\sim z$? What is the capacity in your context and why the assertion is equivalent to Dubinin's theorem? Thanks in advance for the explanations (and welcome to the MO)! – Seva Aug 4 '12 at 9:25
Seva, I corrected the misprint 2/n. $F(z)\sim z$ means as usual that $F(z)/z\to 1$ as $z\to\infty$. To see that it is a conformal map and to find the image, look how it behaves on the unit circle: the argument is constant on the arcs between any $z_j,z_{j+1}$. So these arcs are maped on some segments $[0,a_k]$. What are the $a_k$? Some complex numbers. $|a_k|$ is the maximum of $|F|$ on the corresponding arc. The angles between the segments are $2\pi p_j/n$. – Alexandre Eremenko Aug 4 '12 at 17:22
And what is the capacity of $K$? – Seva Aug 4 '12 at 18:11
You can look for various equivalent definitions of logarithmic capacity in any textbook, but for our purposes a connected compact has capacity $1$ if the conformal map of its exterior onto the exterior of the unit disc safisfies $F(z)/z\to 1$. Our map satisfies this. – Alexandre Eremenko Aug 4 '12 at 19:59
Not an answer, but maybe an useful reference:
Your statement reminds me of Schiefermayr's theorem:
If $p_n$ is a degree $n$ polynomial and $\Sigma\subseteq\mathbb{R}$. Then $$ \|p_n\|_{L^{\infty}(\Sigma)} \geq 2 Cap(\Sigma)^n $$ where $Cap(\Sigma)$ is the logarithmic capacity of $\Sigma$, e.g. $Cap([-2,2]) = 1$.
This is Corollary~5.7.7. in Barry Simon's book: Szego's Theorem and its decendents.
Unfortunately, this does not apply in your case, since it requires the work with subsets of the real line. However, you are close to this situation, since you require the zeros of your polynomial to be on the unit circle.

Another problem seems to be that my product is not a polynomial in $z$. – Seva May 9 '11 at 5:24
Here is an observation that didn't get me very far. Let $p$ have degree $n$ and have $r$ distinct roots, all on the unit circle. Call these roots $e^{i \theta_j}$, where $\theta_k$ has multiplicity $c_j$.
Set $$q(u) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{j=1}^r \left( c_j \left( u + e^{i \theta_j} \right) \prod_{\substack{1 \leq k \leq r \\ k \neq j}} \left( u - e^{i \theta_k} \right) \right).$$ Then $q$ is a monic polynomial of degree $r$, all of whose roots are on the unit circle. They occur at precisely the places where $|p(e^{i \phi})|$ has a local maximum. Your goal is to show that, at one of these local maxima, we have $|p| \geq 2^{n/r}$.
I had a detailed computation of this written out, but I couldn't find a way to make it useful, so I'm recording the formula in case it helps someone else. My plan was to show that $\prod_{\{\phi : q(e^{i \phi})=0\}} |p(e^{i \phi})| \geq 2^n$, but this inequality turned out to be false; if all the $\theta$'s are very close together, then one of the local maxima of $p$ is near $2^n$ but the other local maxima can be arbitrarily small.
share|improve this answer
By the way, an interesting observation is that the product of the roots of $q$ is negative that of the roots of $p$. That also didn't help me, though. – David Speyer May 23 '11 at 22:20

In this lesson you can learn how to calculate CAGR in Excel.
CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is year-of-year average growth rate over a period of time. Calculating CAGR you can check how much do you earn annualy with your investments.
To calculate CAGR you can use that formula:
= ((FV/PV)^(1/n)) - 1
Picture show the example of formula. I think everything is clear.


Add Analytics to Your Android App
This guide shows how to add Analytics to your Android app to measure user activity to named screens. If you don't have an application yet and just want to see how Analytics works, take a look at our sample application.
Required: Latest versions of:
Set up your project
Update your project's AndroidManifest.xml file to include the INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions:

Add the following dependency to your project-level build.gradle:
dependencies {
 //...
 classpath ''
Add the following dependency on Google Play Services to app/build.gradle:
dependencies {
 //...
 compile ''
Create global_tracker.xml
Create the file app/src/res/xml/global_tracker.xml with the following content:
 ${YOUR_TRACKING_ID}
Replace ${YOUR_TRACKING_ID} with your tracking ID.
Add screen tracking
Here you'll send a named screen view to Analytics whenever the user opens or changes screens on your app. Your code should do the following:
 - Provide the shared tracker via an Application subclass.
 - Override the callback method for the foreground activity.
 - Provide a name for the screen and execute tracking.
You should subclass Application and provide a helper method that returns your application's tracker.
 * Copyright Google Inc. All Rights Reserved.
 * You may obtain a copy of the License at
 * See the License for the specific language governing permissions and
 * limitations under the License.
 * This is a subclass of {_USER_ Application} used to provide shared objects for this app, such as
 * the {_USER_ Tracker}.
public class AnalyticsApplication extends Application {
 private static GoogleAnalytics sAnalytics;
 private static Tracker sTracker;
 public void onCreate() {
 sAnalytics = GoogleAnalytics.getInstance(this);
 * Gets the default {_USER_ Tracker} for this {_USER_ Application}.
 * _USER_ tracker
 synchronized public Tracker getDefaultTracker() {
 // To enable debug logging use: adb shell setprop log.tag.GAv4 DEBUG
 if (sTracker == null) {
 sTracker = sAnalytics.newTracker(R.xml.global_tracker);
 return sTracker;
Activity or fragment
Open the Activity that you'd like to track. You could also track a Fragment, but ensure that it correctly represents a screen view.
Override the onCreate method of the Activity or Fragment you want to track to obtain the shared Tracker instance:
// Obtain the shared Tracker instance.
AnalyticsApplication application = (AnalyticsApplication) getApplication();
mTracker = application.getDefaultTracker();
Override the appropriate method, such as onResume for an Activity or onPageSelected for a ViewPager to log when the screen changes.
Log.i(TAG, "Setting screen name: " + name);
mTracker.setScreenName("Image~" + name);
mTracker.send(new HitBuilders.ScreenViewBuilder().build());
Add tracking code to every Activity or Fragment that represents a screen. Be sure to set a name inside every Activity or Fragment if you want to differentiate between screen views for your app in Analytics. All activity recorded on the shared tracker sends the most recent screen name until replaced or cleared (set to null).
Send an event
To send an event, set the screen field values on the tracker, then send the hit. The following example uses the HitBuilders.EventBuilder to send an Event:
mTracker.send(new HitBuilders.EventBuilder()

What happens to your tattoos and your skin when you gain or lose weight? Your body changes and the condition of your skin can change too. In this article we tell you what to take into account.
When you lose a significant amount of weight in a short period of time, this may influence an already existing tattoo. If the weight loss only entails a couple of kilo's, your tattoo will most likely look the same. However, when you lose 20 kilos for example, it is not unusual for your tattoo to be affected.
Certain body parts will be more susceptible than others. Tattoos on hands and feet will hardly show any changes but ink on the belly, arms and upper legs can look less attractive because weight loss can cause excess skin.
If there is weight gain, there's a chance your tattoo will stretch out along with your skin. This can cause colors and lines to fade. In this case a 'touch-up' can be a solution. This also depends on the size and location of your tattoo. A large portrait is more easily affected than say, a small modest letter or sign.
So make sure to think carefully before you decide to get a tattoo when you plan on losing or gaining (a significant amount of) weight. It is almost always advisable to get the tattoo when you've reached your ideal weight.

CAMERA CALIBRATION USING MULTIPLE UNORDERED COPLANAR CHESSBOARDS
The now widely available and highly popular among non-expert users, particularly in the context of UAV photogrammetry, Structure-from-Motion (SfM) pipelines have also further renewed the interest in the issue of automatic camera calibration. The well-documented requirements for robust self-calibration cannot be always met, e.g. due to restrictions in time and cost, absence of ground control and image tilt, terrain morphology, unsuitable flight configuration etc.; hence, camera pre-calibration is frequently recommended. In this context, users often resort to flexible, user-friendly tools for camera calibration based on 2D coded patterns (primarily ordinary chessboards). Yet, the physical size of such patterns poses obvious limitations. This paper discusses the alternative of extending the size of the calibration object by using multiple unordered coplanar chessboards, which might accommodate much larger imaging distances. This is done initially by a detailed simulation to show that – in terms of geometry – this could be a viable alternative to single patterns. A first algorithmic implementation is then laid out, and results from real multi-pattern configurations, both ordered and unordered, are successfully compared. However, aspects of the proposed approach need to be further studied for its reliable practical employment.

There is broad acknowledgement that Lake Chelan has been altered by substantial development.
Though these changes to Lake Chelan are well-documented, a broadly-accepted set of management actions for Lake Chelan based on Lake Chelan-specific research has not been developed to the extent necessary. The Lake Chelan Watershed Plan attempts to address many of these issues.
The Lake Chelan Watershed Planning Unit
The Lake Chelan Watershed Planning Unit (LCWPU) is a collective of organizations that aim to identify key findings and challenges facing our local watershed and recommend specific actions accordingly. The ultimate goal of the LCWPU is to provide locally-based evidence to assist in managing and protecting the natural resources of the Lake Chelan watershed.
The following is list of partners and agencies which compromise the LCWPU and united to instigate The Keep It Blue campaign:

same syntax.
Type Generation Filters
In addition you can use the PreTypeFilter, InnerTypeFilter & PostTypeFilter to generate source code before and after a Type definition, e.g. this will append the @validate() annotation on non enum types:
TypeScriptGenerator.PreTypeFilter = (sb, type) => {
 if (!type.IsEnum.GetValueOrDefault())
 {
 sb.AppendLine("@Validate()");
 }
};
The InnerTypeFilter gets invoked just after the Type Definition which can be used to generate common members for all Types and interfaces, e.g:
TypeScriptGenerator.InnerTypeFilter = (sb, type) => {
 sb.AppendLine("id:string = '${Math.random()}'.substring(2);");
};
There's also PrePropertyFilter & PostPropertyFilter for generating source before and after properties, e.g:
TypeScriptGenerator.PrePropertyFilter = (sb , prop, type) => {
 if (prop.Name == "Id")
 {
 sb.AppendLine("@IsInt()");
 }
};
Live examples
This model is then used to generate the generated types, which for C# is at /types/csharp.
Limitations
In order for Add ServiceStack Reference to work consistently across all supported languages without .NET semantic namespaces, DTOs includes an additional restriction due to the semantic differences and limitations in different languages there are some limitations of highly-discouraged bad practices that's not supported across all languages including:
All DTO Type Names must be unique
ServiceStack only requires Request DTO's to be unique, but non .NET languages also require all DTO names to be unique.
No object or Interface properties
It's not possible to generate typed metadata and type information for deserializing unknown types like object or Interface properties.
Base types must be marked abstract
When using inheritance in DTO's any Base types must be marked abstract.
For C#, VB .NET and F# languages you can get around these limitations by sharing the ServiceModel.dll where your DTOs are defined instead.
Using with IIS Windows Authentication
If you have configured your NativeTypes service to run on IIS with Windows Authentication enabled, you need to ensure that the /types routes are reachable and do not require the system-level authentication from IIS. To accomplish this, add the following to <system.web> in Web.config.
<authorization>
 <allow users="?" />
</authorization>


Text File Databases: Part 2
October 22, 2010
In the previous exercise we developed four functions for reading records from various type of text-file databases. In today's exercise we develop four functions for processing those records, including map, fold, filter, and for-each. We also wrote map-reduce in a previous exercise, which gives us a fifth processing function.
All four functions take as their first argument a reader function that fetches the next record from the input; we wrote some reader functions in the previous exercise, and it is common to write others for specific input formats. Map takes both a reader function and a transformer function and applies the transformer to each input record, returning a list of the transformed values in the same order as the input. Fold takes a reader function, a combining function and a base value and applies the combiner successively to each base value and the next record from the input, returning the final base value when the input is exhausted. Filter is a combinator; it takes a reader function and a predicate and returns a new reader function that passes only those input records for which the predicate is true. For-each takes a reader function and another procedure and applies the procedure to each input record in turn, only for its side-effects, until the input is exhausted; it returns nothing.
Your task is to write the four functions for processing text-file database records. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

 2. Remco Niemeijer said
 As I argue in _URL_ the only one of those four worth implementing in Haskell would be foreach, as restricting the others to text databases would lose more convenience than it gains. Hence, the code sample below only shows the definition for foreach (a.k.a. mapM_) and how to apply the regular list processing functions to database records.
 dbMapM_ :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> Either l [a] -> m ()
 dbMapM_ = either (const $ return ()) . mapM_

 main :: IO ()
 main = do db <- readDB (fixedLength [5,3,4]) "db_fl.txt"
 print $ map head <$> db
 print $ foldl (const . succ) 0 <$> db
 print $ filter (odd . length) <$> db
 dbMapM_ print db

Spirituality, action meet with gobsmacking beauty
By, Postmedia Network
First posted: | Updated:
Martin Luther King called it "love in action". Ghandi's phrase was "soul force".
Canada's Velcrow Ripper calls it "fierce light" -- a combination of spirituality and activism that he sees gathering strength on a global level. This is what his hopeful new movie, Fierce Light: When Spirit Meets Action, attempts to illuminate.
The death of a friend during a peaceful protest is the catalyst for investigation at the beginning of Fierce Light: When Spirit Meets Action. Despite this tragedy, Ripper senses a sea change, a growing general consciousness that, "Another world is possible." So can spirituality coexist with social activism?
His journey of discovery begins in the deep American south, where monuments to the civil rights movement introduce Alice Walker and Congressman John Lewis, among others, in conversations about racism, determination and love in the midst of hate.
(Ripper's film includes conversations with politicians, environmentalists, philosophers and human-rights activists, among them Desmond Tutu, Thich Nhat Hanh, Van Jones, tree-inhabitor Julia Butterfly Hill, Sera Beak of the Harvard School of theology, Judy Rebick, actress Daryl Hannah, and many others.)
Central to the story is a farm in the worst part of Los Angeles, a sudden oasis in the midst of urban blight, where locals work the land and talk about the magical place that keeps their kids off the streets. When the land is sold to a developer, and it looks as if the farm will be destroyed, people from all walks of life turn up to protest. The movie traces the connection between this land and peaceful protests all around the world, and checks in with a variety of experts willing to talk about "the possibility of illumination." Like some kind of modern-day Diogenes -- only with a camera instead of a lantern -- Ripper goes to conflict zones, ceremonies and festivals to discover the growing need for peaceful and productive change.
Fierce Light offers a wide variety of interpretations of spirituality. Connectedness is a common thread, and that connection extends to the planet and every aspect of nature.
Some people march and carry signs and some pray, but almost everyone Ripper interviews is willing to talk about love. Maybe a soft answer really doth turneth away wrath.
Fierce Light: When Spirit Meets Action, is the second film from Velcrow Ripper that investigates peace, love and understanding. Scared Sacred, his 2005 award-winning documentary, followed his search for hope in the worst 'ground-zero' areas -- from Hiroshima to the toxic dumping ground of Bhopal.
Once again, his ideas are all tied together with magnificent visuals. Some moments, such as a few intense close-ups on human faces, veer a bit too close to the twee; for the most part, however, Ripper celebrates the best of being alive with shots of people and places that are often gobsmacking in their beauty and power.
The film is anti-violence and anti-war; it's about the physical world and how we live in it, and what the future may be because of that. As one subject says, are we going to be locusts or bumble bees?
Fierce Light says we must change to survive as a species.
The place where spirituality and action meet is a spot where you'll want to put down those weapons and be kind to each other and to the planet.
Couldn't hurt.

This graph represents a network of science fiction authors and philosophers, with the authors linked to philosophers just in case the philosopher listed that author as philosophically interesting. Authors are labeled, and label size corresponds to the number of philosophers mentioning them. Label colors and positions are rough indicators of similarity. Colors represent groups of authors; as an intuitive gloss, if authors A1-An are the same color that means the connections between the As is ≥ their connections to authors in other groups. Author positions are determined by a combination of three forces - gravity, attraction, and repulsion - applied to the network until it has settled into a stable position (a local peak in the space of possible positions). All nodes gravitate to the center and repulse one another, and nodes are attracted just in case they are connected. So, positions and colors can be seen as weak indicators of similarity, whatever kind of similarity is highlighted by philosophers' choices.
But, given the relatively small sample size and lack of strong modularity in the network, we should be cautious in inferring anything about these authors (or philosophers) based on their relative positions or colors.

Hillside Home School
Hillside Home School was the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright's first major design. Built in 1886, this was a boarding home for children who received their education in the same building. It was located in rural Spring Green, Wisconsin.
This project was financed by Frank Lloyd Wright's aunts, Jane and Nell Lloyd-Jones, who founded this coeducational school based on a new approach of "Learning by Doing." Frank Lloyd Wright, who was himself homeschooled, supported the apprenticeship model and ultimately converted this school to one for architects in 1928, more than a decade after it had closed.

Vertex Map Operator
Weight maps store a value between 0.0 to 1.0 for each point in an object. These values affect how strongly each point is influenced when deformers are applied to the object. With the Weightmap node, not only can you read these weight values, you can change them also.
