Frequently asked questions
Files formats (master, slave and backup)
Master file The master file can be freely modified, it is not encrypted. It contains all the data constituting the engine mapping. Slave file The slave file cannot be freely modified. It can only be processed by the master to which the slave tool is linked. The slave file is a file in.zip format that contains the same information as the backup file but also the data constituting the engine mapping. The information it contains is encrypted and intended to be modified by a master.
Bosch ECUs password reading
Some Bosch ECUs are protected by a password. When you perform a read, Autotuner automatically takes care of reading the password and then reads the data from the ECU. For Bosch ECUs with password, it is not necessary to proceed in two steps, Autotuner takes care of everything.
Tool serial number (ID)
To find the ID of your tool: start the software, click on the menu button. The serial number is here:
How-to decrypt slave files
If you have master tool and there are slave tools linked to your master, you may have to encrypt and decrypt files. There are 3 solutions : 1. Managing slave files with the master tool with your tool connected to your computer in USB Connect the Autotuner master tool to the USB port of your computer Launch your Autotuner software Click on "Manage Slave Files" The software monitors the "Autotuner slave files" folder located in your computer and displays all the files avail

Virtual Read vs Normal Read
What's a virtual read? Virtual read Some ECUs cannot be directly read. This feature is simply not implemented by the manufacturer because he never needs to read the content of the car's ECU, only flash it for updates. So, the virtual read is the only way to read the ECU data. The virtual read file is an original file that corresponds to the software number of the ECU actually installed in the car. Virtual read is fast, the file is instantly downloaded from the server in a couple of seco

Inauguration of the University
The University of Sydney was inaugurated on 11 October 1852 in premises formerly belonging to Sydney College, now Sydney Grammar School. The ceremony was reported in detail in the Illustrated London News on 29 January 1853.
The Governor of New South Wales' chair had a shield bearing the Royal Arms above it, with the arms of Oxford University to the right and those of Cambridge University to the left. Above the chair of Dr Woolley, Principal of the new university, were the arms of his old college, University College, Oxford.
The new university was represented by a blank white shield, bearing the motto "I will achieve." This, in the best traditions of heraldic puns, plays upon the notion of an achievement of arms as well as the idea of attaining a goal. The hope and expectation of achievement is enhanced by the white shield, as if it were a blank canvas ready to be filled.
A common seal, pictorial in nature, had been adopted in 1851, and served as a symbolic representation of the institution until the granting of the arms.

, which the pilgrim will soon encounter.
As several thousand monks and staff lived at the Abhayagiri proper bathing
facilities were necessary and the Twin Pond is the most impressive of
the several such baths in the monastery. The Twin Ponds date from the
8th century, the larger one being built first while the smaller one was
added some time later. The larger pond is 132 feet long while the smaller
one is 91 feet long and both are 51 feet wide. Each pond has a flight
of stairs at each end as well as steps around their sides allowing that many
people could bathe at the same time.
The stairs on the northern end of the Twin Ponds
The size of some of the stones and their finish is impressive. At the
far end of the ponds the pilgrim will notice the sophisticated filtering
device. Water flowed into the first part where sticks and leaves were
trapped and then into the second part which allowed silt to settle before
finally flowing into the pond via a dragon-headed spout. Next to this
spout is an impressive naga stone. Nagas were mythical creatures who were
believed to live in the watery depths and stones honoring them were always
placed near sluices, fountains and waterspouts. The water then flowed
from the smaller into the larger pond through a duct some way towards
the bottom of pond. After being used for washing the water was carefully
channeled out to the adjoining rice fields. Near the north west corner
of the ponds is a spout where people washed their feet before bathing.
Continuing west along the road the pilgrim will come to a large and much
weathered Buddha statue. This statue dates from about the 3rd century
and may be the one Fa Hien mentioned seeing and that is sometimes referred
to in the chronicles as The Great Stone Image. Excavation has shown that
this statue was one of four that were originally placed with their backs
to a Bodhi tree. Until recently the statue was surrounded by trees and
covered with fallen leaves and moss and the occasional monkey would amble
up and sit in its lap. It used to be a wonderful experience to suddenly
come across the statue as one walked through the silent forest. Now the
large restored nose, the barbed wire fence, the nearby toilet block and
the trinket stalls means the statue is hardly worth a look. Just beyond
the samadhi Buddha is the Abhayagiri's massive stupa, now being
Further along the road from the stupa is a small temple with the most beautiful moonstone to be seen at Anuradhapura. Note the whimsical wide-eyed dwarfs on the stairs.
This huge monastery was built by King Kanitthatissa for the monks of the Dhammarucikas, a sect that broke off from the Abhayagiri. The Mahavamsa tells us that Mahinda II repaired this monastery in the eighth century. At the left of the stairs leading to the monastery is an exceptionally fine guard stone. And on the left and a little further along is an immense pillar giving some idea of just how impressive this monastery must have once been.
A little beyond the Dhammaruchi Monastery is perhaps the most charming building to survive from ancient Sri Lanka. It is not known what this pavilion was for but I imagine that it was originally set in a beautiful garden and was used by monks for quite study or meditation.
The Jetavana Stupa
The Jetavana stupa, is the largest stupa in the Buddhist world in both
its dimensions and its mass. It is 231 feet high up to its broken pinnacle
and it has been calculated that it is made up of 160 million bricks. At
present the stupa is being renovated although the work it likely
to take many years.
This building with its entrance facing the stupa was the main image house
of the Jetavana Monastery. The image, a standing Buddha at least 37 feet
high, originally stood on a stone lotus pedestal and below it the pilgrim
will see the numerous square chambers which contained the many precious
stones and relics enshrined under the image. All the walls including the
circumambulotry passage around the image would have been covered with
paintings and the door frames must have once held enormous calved and
gilt wooden doors.
This temple started as a monastery, then became a part of a royal pleasure park and from its reoccupation during the 19th century became a monastery again. On the boulder above the back left hand corner of this pool is carved several elephants who look as if they are coming to bathe in the water. In the boulder above and a little to the left of the elephants is a niche in the rock in which there is a figure of a man in the 'royal ease pose' with a horse peering over his shoulder.
An enormous amount of ink has been used trying to explain
what these figures represent. Whatever it's meaning the figure shows
distinct south Indian influence. Most of the sculpture in the temple's
museum is of a secular nature. The most famous piece in the museum, usually
called 'The Lovers'. It shows a young warrior (note the sword and shield
behind him) with his arm around his girlfriend. She has her finger raised
in admonishment, which seems to be coyly urging him to desist. The couple
are wearing large earrings of the type that were popular between the 6th and
the 8th centuries in Sri Lanka.
The Goldfish Park
If the pilgrim goes behind the Issarasamana to the bund of the Tissavava
and walks along it a little to the north he or she will arrive at the
Goldfish Park, the most well preserved of Anuradhapura's royal pleasure
grounds. The park was situated below the Tissavava so that water could
be channeled into its ponds and fountains. On the west side of the bath
is an alcove with a stone couch in it. A curtain of water flowed over
the entrance to the alcove. The second bath has a bolder on the west side
of the path bath calved with images of elephants frolicking in amongst
The line of rocks behind the two baths originally had pavilions
All around the park are to be seen a highly sophisticated system of underground
and overhead pipes, sluices and cisterns. When the baths were surrounding
with flower beds and flowering trees and vines it must have been a particularly
delightful place. One inscription says that after water comes out of the
sluice it should be directed through the Goldfish Park, the plantain garden,
the pond in the park and the water lilly pond. And then it is used to irrigate
fields owned by the Issaramuni monastery. This is where Dutthagamani's
only son prince Sali met the untouchable woman Asokamala and renounced
the throne out of love for her. The park was 35 acres and was surrounded
by a wall.
How To Get There
Anuradhapura is 250 km (155 miles) north of Colombo. There are plenty of Colombo-Anuradhapura buses each day; you can either catch an older style bus or catch an inter-city airconditioned bus. Trains also go to Anuradhapura.

Question: What Is Google Glass Made Of?
Is Google Glass dead?
Google Glass is back from the dead, with a new $999 headset that delivers upgraded capabilities, longer battery life, and the promise of new confusion around augmented reality.
Come mid-2017, and a vaguely-massaged version of the Explorer Edition was reborn as the Glass Enterprise Edition..
What is the meaning of Google Glass?
Google Glass is a wearable computer featuring a head-mounted display in the form of eyeglasses. The Google glasses function as a hands-free smartphone, letting users access the mobile internet browser, camera, maps, calendar, and other apps by voice commands.
Why did Google Plus die?
The decision to kill off Google+ came after the discovery that a bug in Google+ exposed the personal data of nearly half a million users, with Google not disclosing it to the public until much later. Shortly after that, it was discovered that another security bug exposed personal data of more than 50 million users.
What glass is banned in the US?
Google GlassGoogle Glass Is Now Banned From All US Movie Theaters REUTERS/Elijah Nouvelage Movie fans will no longer be able to wear Google Glass and other wearable technology in US cinemas.
Why is Google Glass banned?
The Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners on Wednesday said they were officially banning the use of Glass and other wearable recording devices in the cinema as part of an updated "anti-theft policy." The MPAA has said the movie industry loses billions of dollars a year due …
Is Google Glass mixed reality?
After rising from the rubbish bin of great consumer tech that fell flat, Google Glass has pulled off an unexpected second act bringing mixed reality to the enterprise. Today, Google is launching Glass Enterprise Edition 2.0, an upgraded version of its enterprise headset that has a significant computing boost.
What can smart glasses do?
Most advanced smart glass systems can automatically provide information about a target in sight such as a product in hands, information about scenery and even facial recognition of a person coming towards. The user can communicate with the system for example with voice, signs or finger sweeps.
What Google Glass looks like?
The headset looks like a mix between a pair of standard black glasses and the goggles you wore in science class with the addition of a tiny camera and a glass prism that juts out in front of the wearer's right eye lens. Imagine having a small display floating toward the top of your line of sight.
What was wrong with Google Glass?
Unfortunately, the Glass failed because the creators neglected to define and validate the users and what problems it was solving for them. Instead they assumed the product would sell itself even without real solutions or value, that its hype would be enough to appeal to everyone.
What is Google Glass used for today?
Glass is now frequently used in the medical field, including surgery. More recently, Google Glass has been used when working with children with autism, in order to help them "see" emotions. A much better use for the glasses, clearly, than filming people in a bar, or showering with them.
Why did Google fail?
Lack of user engagement, inadequate changes, and software design errors – there are several reasons to mark its failure. Even though Google plus users refused to use Facebook, the latter gradually matured into a suitable option.
How much money did Google lose on Google Glass?
Google loses $895 million on moonshot projects. Google's parent company Alphabet is feeling pressure after the search engine's so-called moonshot projects have lost the company nearly $900 million in just three months.
Can you still buy Google Glass?
Well, you can now buy its successor, Google Glass 2, through resellers. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Google Glass has a rocky history. … Google is now allowing its resellers to offer Google Glass to just about anyone.
Who uses Google Glass?
It's used by companies including Deutsche Post DHL Group and Sutter Health. While the Glass is significantly cheaper than Microsoft's HoloLens 2, which costs $3,500, it's not as powerful: Google Glass only projects an image in front of one eye while the HoloLens headset displays projections for both eyes.
Why is Google+ slow to take off?
While Facebook and Twitter offered a neat mobile browsing experience, Google+ lagged. It did have a mobile version later but it was not good enough to compete with other social media. … Mobile for Google+ was said to be more of an afterthought then a carefully planned service.
Was Google Glass a good product?
Google Glass, wearable "smart glasses," is a Google "moonshot" technology. The product garnered considerable criticism, with concerns about its price, safety, and privacy. Glass seemed to lack the "cool" factor often associated with successful technology product rollouts.
What are the benefits of Google Glass?
Benefits of Google Glass Workers' safety is improved by the hands free feature and ability to stay connected to the network at all times. Another benefit is the fact that the head mounted display is always accessible in the user's field of vision.
What do Apple glasses do?
According to a Bloomberg report, the Apple AR Glasses will bring information from your phone to your face. Specifically, the eyewear "are expected to synchronize with a wearer's iPhone to display things such as texts, emails, maps, and games over the user's field of vision."
Who invented smart glasses?
Mars KapadiaMars Kapadia, a 16-year-old from Arizona, has devised his own concept for a pair of smart glasses—something at which big tech companies like Google have failed. A cheap Arduino Nano Every microcontroller is at the heart of the invention.


United States Senate & United States House of Representatives
Joint Select Committee on Solvency of Multiemployer Pension Plans
Hatch Opening Statement at Joint Committee Hearing Examining the Financial State of America's Pension Insurer
You are here
WASHINGTON – Joint Select Committee on Solvency of Multiemployer Pension Plans Co-Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) today delivered the following opening statement at a committee hearing examining the state of the Pensions Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC).
This is the Joint Select Committee's second hearing to delve into issues concerning operations of the multiemployer pension system.
As I noted last time, it is critical for us to remember that the mandate of the Joint Select Committee is not just to develop reports and recommendations on the multiemployer plans, but to also review the solvency of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. To do this, we have brought in one of the nation's top experts on the PBGC, Tom Reeder—who happens to also be the current director of the corporation, which insures benefits for the more than 30 million Americans in defined benefit pension plans.
To provide context, one of the core issues confronting pension policymakers is the issue of benefit security.
Pension benefit security and protection can be approached in a number of ways, including strong pension plan funding rules, robust asset management requirements, and meaningful disclosure mandates. In the United States we have historically used a benefit guaranty system—essentially a form of insurance—for many defined benefit pension plans to cover lost pension income if a retirement plan becomes insolvent or sponsoring employers go bankrupt.
The problem is that the U.S. system is very complicated and often difficult to effectively operate. There are a lot of moving parts, and numerous variables for which to account. Some of those variables include questions on how plans are insured, to what extent are benefits guaranteed, and how can we sufficiently fund the system while still ensuring employers are properly incentivized to sponsor retirement plans?
The problems don't end there though. It is clear that since its inception in 1974, the PBGC has faced design and operational issues that have made achieving its policy goals difficult.
This morning, Mr. Reeder will provide an overview of the PBGC's structure and finances, answering key questions about the organization, including how it is structured and, most important, how it is financed. It is imperative that the Joint Select Committee develop a solid base of knowledge about the corporation and how it is funded before turning to the PBGC's current funding status. And, in a word, that funding status is troubled. I won't recite the grim statistics because we have all read them, and we are all deeply concerned.
Over the course of the next weeks and months in the Joint Select Committee, I trust that we will learn more about the economic and demographic forces that impact the multiemployer system, and consequently the financial health of the PBGC.
But today, let's dig into the fundamentals first. After all, it's hard to plot a course without getting a good map of the terrain. As we work today with Mr. Reeder, here are some fundamental questions I think both sides should keep in mind:
What is the corporation's charter, and how does that effect its operations and success?
What does it mean to be a wholly-owned government corporation?
What are the PBGC's core functions and how is it structured to achieve those functions?
Does PBGC have the right tools and flexibility to intervene in the management and operation of troubled multiemployer plans?
How does the corporation manage the funds under its management?
Also, importantly, how do the insurance premiums work to fund the plan guarantees?
And, is this all the right model for the economic and demographic markets in which these plans operate?
Frankly, I believe we need to get these answers and then spend some time understanding what those answers mean before the Joint Select Committee can effectively consider any proposals to repair the multiemployer system.

Generate hundreds of lines of Ada code with one click. Completely free, no sign up required.
What Is Ada Code Generator?
An AI Ada Code Generator is an online tool that helps developers create specific code using advanced technologies like generative AI, machine learning, and natural language processing. This tool can make your coding tasks easier, especially when you are under pressure or have tight deadlines. It takes your needs and quickly turns them into working code, making it very useful for both beginners and experienced programmers.
The steps to use an AI Ada Code Generator can be broken down into three simple parts:
 1. Input: You give the tool information about what you need—this could be a description of how the code should work or any specific requirements.
 2. Processing: The AI looks at your input and uses its algorithms, relying on a large database of existing code and programming patterns.
 3. Output: Finally, it creates the code you need, which you can then check, change, or use directly in your project.
How Does Minary's Ada Code Generator Work?
Here's how the Minary AI Ada Code Generator works. To get started, just describe your coding task clearly in the text box on the left side of your screen. Be specific about what you want—include the functionality, the programming language, and any special features you need in your code.
After you finish writing your details, simply click the "Generate" button. The generator will read your description and show the result on the right side of the screen. It's that simple! You can easily copy the generated code by clicking the copy button at the bottom of the code output.
Feedback is important for improving the AI's abilities. After checking the code, you can give a thumbs up or thumbs down using the feedback buttons. Your input helps make the generator better over time.
To give you a clearer picture, here are some examples of detailed prompts. You might enter: "Create a Python script that connects to a MySQL database and fetches all user information, formatted as a JSON object." Another example could be: "Write a JavaScript function for a responsive navigation menu that changes into a hamburger icon on mobile devices."

FREE - How to sample for plastics
This live investigation broadcast is a great way of learning about how extensive the issue of microplastics is. Scientists have already identified microplastics in the Arctic, but how much is there? Students will consider how to appropriately answer this question by exploring the sampling techniques needed to conduct a fair test.
Print Microplastics Sampling Student Sheet (or Advanced version depending on the ability of students), one per student. Both these Student Sheets can be found in the What you'll need section for this activity.
Arrange students into groups, organise all resources needed for the experiment, found here.
You will need to create trays of ice with simulated 'microplastics' to represent a 'region of the Arctic'. Your students will be challenged to sample and quantify the amount of 'microplastics' in that 'region of the Arctic sea ice'.
Session steps
1. Introduction (5 mins)
2. Subject knowledge (5 mins)
Jamie will then proceed to speak about the emergence of microplastics in the environment and the importance of working scientifically to better understand where these microplastics are and what impact they may have on whole ecosystems.
Jamie will focus on why coming up with an appropriate sampling strategy is important and discuss factors to consider to obtain the most accurate results.
3. Activity time (25 mins)
Students will be challenged to design their sampling strategy and think of ways to separate microplastics from ice samples, which can be thought of as impure mixtures.
Jamie will demonstrate a method to separate the 'microplastics' from the ice and how they will record their findings using a data table.
Jamie will discuss his findings and the importance of replicates within an experiment and replication of experiments for accuracy and peer review as well as an understanding of long-term effects on ecosystems including biomagnification of toxins in food webs.

When going for a routine eye exam, many people like to ask their Miami Beach eye doctor things they are curious about. One of the things people find most interesting is how their eyes are related to their memories. The eyes play a crucial role in the way someone is able to recall something because sight is the way people remember most details. While smell, taste, and other senses can also invoke memories, sight is the strongest sense to do this. For example, when trying to think of a specific time or place, most people recall the way something looked before they will recall how it tasted or smelled. Your optometrist in Miami Beach will be able to tell you more about how the eyes and memories are related.
The next time you visit your doctor in Miami Beach, be sure to ask them about your memories. The brain is a very complex organ that processes all of the information in the human body, so it's interesting to learn how your eyes play a role in the brain's activity.
- Some people have vivid dreams that they can recall as a clear memory, even years after the dream actually happened.
- Some people may have different memories about a particular object if they see it differently. For example, someone with a slight color blind deficiency will see an object as a different color than someone else, which may affect their ability to recall it clearly. A bright red object is going to be easily recalled, while a brown one may not be as prominent in memory.
- The more emotion someone has about something they are experiencing, the better their memories will form. People will be able to visually recall clearly something that they found exciting.
Being able to think back on something clearly is a gift that humans are granted. Many animals are unable to recall things like humans do. In order to ensure that your eyes are in good health and therefore your memories are crisp and clear, you need to be visiting your eye doctor in Miami on a regular basis. The more often you have your eyes checked, the better off you will be overall. Once your vision becomes damaged, your ability to recall things will be as well.

text: Meteoroids comprising the sporadic background population continuously impact larger bodies in the solar system at high speeds. In particular, asteroids are subjected to hypervelocity impacts on their surface due to the lack of atmosphere, resulting in the formation of ejecta plasma. Based on interplanetary meteoroid flux models, a 1 km asteroid at 1 AU would encounter over 100,000 impacts per day from meteoroids larger than 1 nanogram (10 micrometers). This plasma is primarily composed of ionized material from the asteroid surface with only a small contribution from the impacting meteoroid (estimated to be 2% based on crater volume models), and provides a mechanism for characterizing the surface composition of the asteroid. We propose to develop a low mass and low power sensor concept to complement the spectroscopic analysis of an asteroid's surface composition by studying the transient plasma environment in its vicinity. This concept would enable rapid coverage of the asteroid surface using a cluster of nano- or picosatellites equipped with plasma sensors. As humans start to exploit the natural resources available on asteroids, the initial cost will be quite high. Accordingly, it will be necessary to demonstrate that resource extraction missions are targeted at sites of high return. This will likely involve lower-cost precursor missions to several potential asteroids before sending a mining or redirect spacecraft to the one with the most value. The concept presented here enables measurements to be made using multiple (on the order of 10 to 100) identical small spacecraft, and provides a greater coverage of the asteroid surface than with a single conventional spacecraft using more traditional instruments. The use of multiple spacecraft in a cluster provides a dramatic increase in the robustness of the system to single failures, with a gradual decrease in performance rather than complete loss of a particular capability. The plasma sensor is based on the concept of mass spectroscopy, which would provide a measurement of the asteroidal molecular composition rather than the atomic composition as measured through IR, x-ray, or gamma-ray spectroscopy.

The article presents the implementation of the «supervised learning» approach for identifying heavy-oil-bearing reservoirs. At the first stage, the analysis was carried out concerning the current state of the problem of information support for prospecting and exploration operations and rating of wells with the help of the Russian patent search system Exactus System and the American Free Patents Online system. It was established that the classical statistical analysis integrated with machine learning methods is the powerful tool for interpretation of the chemical variable rock structure using fairly-well representative sample. Input data reflect more than 40 physicochemical features of rock and fluid, and they were collected from 2012 to 2016. Comparative analysis of the features values by basic statistical characteristics is given, category, ordinal, discrete and continuous features are highlighted. The need is defined related to elimination of blowout control for six features, scaling, the transformation of two categorical features into discrete ones was performed. Fixed six features with a predominance of missing values were eliminated. The depth of location of the productive strata, which is more than 4 thousand meters, was established. Features of speed and duration of prospecting and exploration operations, the years of their beginning and end were synthesized. It was revealed that the most productive in terms of the number of detections of heavy-oil-bearing reservoirs was the year 2015. To improve the classification efficiency, two of the three classes of the target feature are summarized. A priori distribution of the target feature by classes was estimated (getting into the «other» class is 8 times more likely than getting into the «heavy-oil-bearing reservoir» class). Dimensions of the problem is reduced by the method of principal components, since the percentage of dispersion explained by the first two principal components is greater than 70. The problem of quadratic optimization with a soft gap is formulated. Classification is performed by the support vector machine method with a Gaussian Radial Basis Function and the regularization parameter equal to one. Classification accuracy is 93 %. The approach can be recommended for improving the estimate accuracy of the deposits rate at the initial development stage.

This paper describes a simple and highly sensitive auto bias control (ABC) technique based on asymmetric bias dithering for optical quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation and QPSK variants. Using our asymmetric bias dithering proposal, the required bandwidth of the ABC circuit is only ~2fd, where fd is the frequency of dithering, fd < 1 kHz. Thus, the circuit can be constructed without using high-speed components, and bias control performance is not limited by the signal bit rate. In this paper, we detail the concept of asymmetric bias dithering. We describe experiments that confirm bias monitoring and ABC operation, using a 20–64 Gbit/s optical QPSK signal. Its typical penalty is 0.1 dB, and Q factor fluctuation is negligible over 6 h of operation.

Ticker Timer
From the Science Archives, the open-project database of science information that barely anyone can edit
Jump to navigation Jump to search
A Ticker Timer is a constructed scientific device that measures the velocity of a moving object. Tape is attached from the ticker timer to the object of choice. Drops of ink are applied to the piece of paper once the object starts of move. If the moving object accelerates, the distance between dots will increase; if the moving object decelerates, the distance between the dots on the ticker timer will decrease. A ticker timer has a small hammer that marks a tape pulled through it. The hammer puts 50 dots on the tape every second (5 dots in a tenth of a second). By attaching the tape to an object with movement, we have a record of that movement which shows the distance traveled every part of a second.

How PL/Python is implemented in PostgreSQL?
PL/Python is a procedural language for PostgreSQL that allows you to write stored procedures, triggers, and functions in Python. The PL/Python language is implemented as an extension module for PostgreSQL, which means that it's not part of the core PostgreSQL system but is instead loaded as an add-on.
Here's a brief overview of how PL/Python is implemented in PostgreSQL:
 1. The PL/Python extension module is loaded into PostgreSQL using the CREATE EXTENSION command:
This command will load the PL/Python extension module into PostgreSQL and make it available for use.
 1. You can then create a PL/Python function using the CREATE FUNCTION command. Here's an example of a simple PL/Python function that returns the sum of two numbers:
In this example, the function takes two integer arguments, adds them together using Python's + operator, and returns the result. The function is declared as using the PL/Python language by specifying LANGUAGE plpython3u.
 1. Once the function has been created, you can call it from within PostgreSQL using the SELECT statement:
This statement will call the sum function and return the result, which is 3 in this case.
PL/Python also allows you to interact with the PostgreSQL database from within your Python code. Here's an example of a PL/Python function that uses the psycopg2 library to connect to the database and retrieve some data:
In this example, the function connects to the mydatabase database using the psycopg2 library, executes a SELECT statement to retrieve the name of the employee with the given employee_id, and returns the name as a string. Note that this function is still declared as using the PL/Python language, even though it includes Python code that interacts with the database.
Overall, PL/Python allows you to write powerful, flexible stored procedures, triggers, and functions using the Python programming language, while still being able to take advantage of the capabilities of the PostgreSQL database system.

Alcohol (ethanol, EtOH) is one of the most widely abused drugs with profound effects on brain function and behavior. GABAA receptors (GABAARs) are one of the major targets for EtOH in the brain. Temporary plastic changes in GABAARs after withdrawal from a single EtOH exposure occur both in vivo and in vitro, which may be the basis for chronic EtOH addiction, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. Extrasynaptic δ-GABAAR endocytosis is implicated in EtOH-induced GABAAR plasticity, but the mechanisms by which the relative abundance and localization of specific GABAARs are altered by EtOH exposure and withdrawal remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying rapid regulation of extrasynaptic δ-GABAAR by a single EtOH withdrawal in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. Thirty-minutes EtOH (60 mM) exposure increased extrasynaptic tonic current (Itonic) amplitude without affecting synaptic GABAAR function in neurons. In contrast, at 30 min after withdrawal, Itonic amplitude and responsiveness to acute EtOH were both reduced. Similar results occurred in neurons with okadaic acid (OA) or phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) exposure. Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibition prevented the reduction of Itonic amplitude and the tolerance to acute EtOH, as well as the reduction of GABAAR-δ subunit abundance induced by a single EtOH withdrawal. Moreover, EtOH withdrawal selectively increased PKCδ level, whereas PKCδ inhibition specifically rescued the EtOH-induced alterations in GABAAR-δ subunit level and δ-GABAAR function. Together, we provided strong evidence for the important roles of PKCδ in the rapid regulation of extrasynaptic δ-GABAAR induced by a single EtOH withdrawal.
Keywords: PKCδ; ethanol withdrawal; extrasynaptic δ-GABAAR; hippocampal neurons; tonic current.

TOP POLITICIANS OF WEST BENGAL
8 months ago
Politics in West Bengal dates back from the medieval times with Kolkata(previously Calcutta) being the center of attraction for most of the political affairs from the Mughal reign to the British Empire. In the state of West Bengal currently, the parliamentary form of government abides and is followed just like the other states as well as the center. Universal suffrage is granted to residents. There are two branches of the state. The legislature, the province general assembly, consists of elected members and special office bearers just like the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, who are elected by the members. The Governor is the pinnacle of state-appointed by the President of India. The leader of the party or coalition with a majority within the final assembly is appointed as the Chief Minister by the Governor, and thus the Council of Ministers is appointed from the winning party. Terms of office endure five years unless the Assembly is dissolved before the completion of the term. Auxiliary authorities remarked as panchayats, that local body elections are regularly held, govern local affairs.
Politicians have played a huge role in development of Bengal as state is blessed to have some of the best-known Politician across India.
Here are some famous politicians of West Bengal :
1. Jyoti Basu
Jyotirindra Basu was the longest-serving CM of West Bengal who served as the Chief Minister from 1977 from 2000. He was born on the 8th of July 1914 to a middle-class family at 43/1 Harrison Road, Kolkata. He is the one who brought economic equality to the state. At the time of his resignation in the year 2000, he was noted to be the longest-serving Chief Minister of an elected government. He was from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and was their leader from the 1970s. He died of pneumonia on 17th January 2010.
2. Mamata Banerjee

Types of siblings[change | change source]
There are several different types of siblings.
- Full siblings (brother, sister): These siblings have the same father and mother.
- Half siblings (half-brother, half-sister): These siblings have one parent that is the same. They either have the same father or the same mother.
- Step siblings (stepbrother, stepsister): These sibling have different fathers and mothers but one of their parents is married to a parent of the other one.
- example: John and Tom are step brothers because John's father is married to Tom's mother.
- Siblings by breastfeeding: In Islam someone who is breastfed by a woman who is not their birth mother become siblings to the children of that woman if they are less than 2 years old and have been breastfed five times or more by that woman.

Facilitating Knowledge Communication through Joint Interactive Visualization
Martin J. Eppler (University of Lugano, Switzerland)
Abstract: This paper presents further research findings on the use of software-based, collaborative visual communication tools for the transfer and creation of professional knowledge in organizational decision making contexts. The paper begins by describing typical knowledge communication situations and summarizes dominating problems in these contexts. It then reports on the real-life experiences in using three visual knowledge communication tools, namely the OnTrack visual protocol tool, the Parameter Ruler application, and the Synergy Map. The application experiences with these tools in four companies show that they can reduce some of the discussed problems. Their main benefits are focus, coordination, documentation, consistency, accountability and traceability. Their major improvement areas are accessibility and flexibility. Implications for further research and for further tool developments are highlighted.

Introduction

What are the OECD Harmonised Templates ?
The OECD Harmonised Templates (OHTs) are standard data formats for reporting information on chemicals to determine their properties or effects on human health and the environment (e.g. toxicokinetics, skin irritation, repeated dose toxicity, biodegradation in soil, metabolism of residues in crops, etc.) and also to describe their use and related exposure to workers, consumers and the environment. They can be used as specifications for data entry screens in data management systems (e.g. IUCLID). Data elements, which could be relevant for the risk assessment of chemicals, are listed as well as the format in which the information should be entered and stored electronically, together with field-specific help texts intended to guide end users.
The OHTs constitute harmonised tools that are useful to developers and maintainers of databases on chemicals. Harmonisation in this context means that these templates can be used as models for reporting studies and other information on any type of chemicals (e.g. pesticides, biocides, industrial chemicals, food/feed additives).
What do they contain ?
As the templates are intended to serve as standard formats for summarising data contained in any study report or publication related to particular endpoints, including studies that were not conducted according to current guidelines, they are designed in a very flexible way. This includes:
 - structured elements (i.e. fields, picklist items, freetext prompts, predefined tables and executive summaries)
 - picklists for specific test guidelines which contain the most often cited guidelines
 - help texts and guidance notes which explain what kind of data entry is expected in a given field, but do not necessarily indicate whether the corresponding data are requested by any test guideline. However, most templates are nevertheless built around the OECD Test Guidelines, as these are internationally agreed standards.
The OECD Harmonised Templates allow for providing administrative data, stating the endpoint addressed by the study summary, describing the materials and methods used during the test, reporting the results and their possible discussion, delivering the applicant's summary and conclusion. It is also possible to make overall remarks and to attach background materials that can be useful to the end users.
Are all elements contained in the OHTs useful in all cases ?
Not always. The degree of complexity used in these templates follows the needs of the key study / robust study summary approach. The fields provided should be considered as a maximum degree of detail. It is generally accepted that much less details are needed in case of study summaries (compared to robust study summaries).
In addition, some templates being designed to cover several test methods dealing with the same endpoint, only a part of the template might be useful for reporting summaries of studies performed according to a single method.
What are the different types of OHTs ?
The endpoint-oriented templates constitute the core of the set of the available OHTs, targeted to specific hazards assessment and/or given test methods.
Beside them, other types of templates are complementary: the OHTs on physico-chemical properties are designed to characterise the chemical being studied, including nanomaterial properties where applicable.
The template No.201 on 'Intermediate effects', allows to report non-apical observations, i.e. intermediate effects at molecular, subcellular, cell, tissue or organ level which can be relevant when studying the hazard posed by a compound.
The series of OHTs on Use and exposure information (OHTs 301 to 306) enables to report on another range of information such as the life cycle of the substance, its uses and service life, as well as the conditions of use, releases and exposures to the substance.
Other templates are being developed to fit with new testing methods and cover emerging needs, and the series of OHTs is regularly enriched with new templates.
Do OHTs provide specific language for databases ?
Yes, specific language for databases is made available. By using the OECD Harmonised Templates, governments and industry are able to electronically exchange test study summary information. In order for information technology developers to build data entry screens and/or database systems based on the OHTs, each template has to have a corresponding XML structure. An XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) schema, or export format, is a common computer language which facilitates the electronic exchange of data across different computer systems for data entry, storage and management.
Is IUCLID using the OHTs ?
Yes, it does. IUCLID, the International Uniform ChemicaL Information Database developed by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), is the first system that implemented completely the OECD Harmonised Templates. Information compiled in IUCLID can be exchanged with other databases that use the same OHTs XML schemas, even if the underlying computer systems are different. By using IUCLID functionalities and reporting a large range of chemical test summaries in the system, IUCLID users are regularly identifying gaps or elements that could be improved in the OHTs.
IUCLID 6.4 was released in October 2019, encompassing all previous improvements, latest versions, and enlargement of the OHT scope by including the most recent templates.
Important
These OECD Harmonised Templates should not be seen as constituting OECD data requirements. Only those fields that are deemed relevant by a regulatory authority would be completed in that jurisdiction (i.e., all of the fields may not be completed in all countries). As to the level of detail required the relevant guidance documents for the respective chemical programme should be consulted.
The OECD Templates are also not prescriptive as to the order of appearance of any data entry fields or how the fields are technically implemented, as long as this does not affect the harmonised and agreed upon data exchange format.

Tensegrities are characterized by the presence of at least one infinitesimal mechanism stabilized with member pre-stress to ensure equilibrium. Over prolonged usage, the cables may lose their pre-stress while the bars may buckle, get damaged, or corrode, affecting the structural stiffness leading to change in the measured dynamic properties. Upon loading, a tensegrity structure may change its form through altering its member pre-stress affecting its global stiffness, even in the absence of damage. This can potentially mask the effect of damage leading to a false impression of tensegrity health. This poses the major challenge in tensegrity health monitoring especially when the load is stochastic and unknown. Present study proposes an output-only time-domain method that makes use of tensegrity vibrational responses within a Bayesian filtering-based approach to monitor the tensegrity health in the presence of uncertainties due to ambient force, model inaccuracy, and measurement noise. For this, an interacting strategy combining Particle Filter (PF) and Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) has been adopted (Interacting particle-Ensemble Kalman Filter, IP-EnKF) in which the EnKF estimates the response states as ensembles while running within a PF envelop that estimates a set of location-based health parameters as particles. Furthermore, for a cheaper damage detection procedure, strain responses are used as measurements. The efficiency of the proposed methodology in terms of accuracy, computational cost, and robustness against noise contamination has been demonstrated using numerical experiments performed on two tensegrity modules: a simplex tensegrity and an extended-octahedron tensegrity.

Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on Feb 20, 2023.
Excipient (pharmacologically inactive substance)
What is it?
Ammonio methacrylate copolymers are excipients used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Ammonio methacrylate copolymers are compounds derived from ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and a low content of methacrylic acid ester with quaternary ammonium groups. They are solid substances in the form of a white powder with a faint amine-like odor. The ammonium groups are present as salts and make the polymers permeable. They are used in the manufacture of time-released products that are pH-independent in the pharmaceutical industry.

imaginery friends, just like a lot of other children do.
She often talks about "Panda san *1,"Tanuki san *2" and "Bunny san."
"Panda san is still a baby," "It was Tankui san who made a mess," she would say, but there was something about "Bunny san" that set it apart from the other two.
After some pondering, I realised that her description of "Bunny san" was often more detailed and specific than that of of the other ones.
"Bunny san is much older than me, so she can use chopsticks very well."
"Bunny san is looking at the flowers on the balcony now."
One time, my daughter was tinkering on the piano.
She did that often and I didn't pay much attention to it - until my ears caught a certain tune.
It was the Tulip song.*3
She didn't have a piano teacher, and neither I nor my wife had ever taught her to play it.
I asked her how she came to learn it, and she replied, "Bunny san taught it to me."

The Watch Cabin
(Translated by Saya)
My high school building was ancient, something like 120 years old*1
It had undergone so many renovations and extension works in the past that its layout had become a total mess.
For example, even though it was a one-storey building, it had a staircase reaching from one end of a corridor to the ceiling.
There were also a music room right next to the entrance, and an inaccessible door embedded into a wall (seen from the outside, it was conspicuously covered over by plywood boards).
The oddest of them all was what they called the "Watch Cabin."
A countryside village in Kyoto with traditional farmhouses *2
My home was far from school, so I sometimes stayed overnight in houses of friends and teachers who lived locally.
One day I couldn't find anyone who could let me stay in their house, so I decided to spend a night in the said "Watch Cabin".
Outwardly, the Watch Cabin looked like a normal country house. It came with one 8-jo*3 room, an old telephone and a small kitchen.
And I was about to find out why the place was called the Watch Cabin through the experience I had that very night.
Another person, a friend of mine, was going to stay with me in the Cabin.
We were in high spirits, as if we were on a school trip, as we cheerful spread out futons on the floor.
Marcelo Carter's "A worm-shaped god"
Hi everyone! How are you today? Good? :D
I just wanted to introduce to you a novella written by one of my blog readers and friend Marcelo Carter, a young and very talented Chilean writer!
* Visit Marcelo's blog where he posts short horror stories. They are in Spanish but you can use Google translator to read them :D
The book is available on Amazon Kindle, and is called A worm-shaped god.
*click HERE to go to the Amazon page.
(*If you can read Spanish, here is the original Spanish edition of the book on Amazon)
Here is the summary of the story:
Andrés, after witnessed a brutal beating on his teacher, which would eventually lead him to death, is threatened by the bully of the school, Sebastián Kurdo; an aggressive boy, believed to belong to a violent gang called "The Skull-breakers".
Filled with fear and uncertainty, Andrés looks for the help of an old friend who has returned to the city, not knowing that Ignacio is no longer the innocent boy he remembers, and that his help will unleash a series of tragic, macabre and horrifying events. Based on a true story.
Sounds intriguing, isn't it? :D
I finished reading it some days ago and oh boy was it scary. The story is written in first person narrative, so I felt like I was myself thrown into the nightmarish world of teenage violence and crime and of cladestine bloodthirsty sect, alongside the narrator.
The fact that the narrator is just a normal teenager makes it feel worse; he is caring towards his mother and loyal to his best friend, but ironically it is precisely his love for his best friend that gets him into deep water, because that friend turns out to be a total psycho. XD
Until the very end of the story I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen to this poor boy!
There are lots of blood and gore in the story, so it is not for the faint of heart!
(I felt literally sick reading some parts of the story XD)
If you want to know more about the story please visit the website Marcelo created for his book:
On this website, you can also find information about the documentary that was filmed back in 2006 about the true crime story on which Marcelo's book is based.

My Friend's Piano Recital! (Personal Announcement from Saya)
Hi everyone! :D How are you?
I just wanted to make an announcement about a piano recital which will take place on Friday 9th Novemember 2018, in London.
The recital will be given by Nobue, my dearest friend and mentor, and one of the most brilliant pianists I have ever known in my life.
She is someone you might call an old school pianist, who values authentic interpretatoin of music and producing beautiful sounds above all else.
Not only is she a great pianist, she also happenes to have a great personality too. You don't find that combination too often (I'm joking, of course LOL).
Anyway, I hope that if you happen to be in London on that day (it's a shame I won't be able to go this year, but probalby I will next time), please consider attending her recital. You won't regret it, I promise.
Here are the links to the details of her recital and her profile:

How to Go to Another World: "Fed Up"
Happy Halloween Everyone ~ :D
Here is a little ritual for you to enjoy!
I hope you all get loads of sweets to stuff yourselves with. XD
Love and Peace!
(Translated by Saya)
1： Anonymous ：2012/01/05(Thur) 02:06:27.80 ID:73sG3iym0
How to do it:
This ritual is recommended for people who are fed up with their lives or who want more excitement in their lives.
Write a hexagram as large as possible on a paper measuring 5 X 5 cm, and write "Fed Up" (Akita 飽きた in Japanese) inside the hexagram.
It will be more effective if you write it in red ink.
When you finish writing, you go to sleep holding the paper in your hand or with the paper under your pillow.
Next day, if you wake up and the paper is gone and you feel a difference in the air, or something out of ordinary happens to you, then you know you have been successful.
The reason the paper disappears is not because you have lost it, but you have changed places with yourself in another world.

Arkansas is celebrating October's Family History Month with a variety of related activities, presentations, and a music festival that showcase the state's diverse heritage and inspire us to research genealogy.
Starting early in the month, Queen Wilhelmina State Park was the location for a genealogy seminar hosted by the Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives (SARA). Held October 5 near Mena, it was "Behind the Scenes: How to Start Researching Your Family History." The workshop introduced basic genealogy research.
"In order to form a more perfect union" comes to mind with a creative and striking new Arkansas symbol. Women's Suffrage Centennial Plaza in Little Rock now features a commemorative bronze sculpture that shows female suffragists standing together.The monument was unveiled this month in Little Rock's Riverfront Park to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Arkansas adopting the 19th Amendment.
Were women in your family suffrage activists, supporters, or opponents? Research them at the Arkansas State Archives, local libraries, and other facilities.
The Clinton Presidential Center has been celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, reminding us of a group that has contributed much to the state's history. Were Hispanics among your ancestors? On Oct. 12, the center hosted a family event that kicked off with the Oscar-winning movie "Coco." Guests also saw the center's current temporary exhibit "José Sacal: A Universal Mexican." Sacal is internationally renowned for contemporary sculptural art.
And following the opening of its interesting new Little Italy Arkansas Heritage Museum last month in Roland, Little Italy's 92nd Annual Italian Festival was held October 13. This longtime tradition included a spaghetti dinner, bingo, silent auction, crafts, children's games, raffle, and homemade Italian treats. Especially if your ancestors were Italian, the Heritage Museum may have photos and artifacts of interest for research.
The Arkansas Genealogical Society will host its statewide annual fall seminar Oct. 18 and 19 at the Benton Event Center. It will feature UALR's Dr. Brian K. Mitchell Friday evening and "The Legal Genealogist," Judy Russell for Saturday's programming. Please see details here for times and registration.
A famous Arkansas musical family holds its own annual heritage festival this month. The Johnny Cash Heritage Festival will be held on the grounds of the boyhood home in Dyess in eastern Arkansas Oct. 17-19.
This benefit event raises funds to continue the mission of "bringing attention to the rich history of my father in the Arkansas Delta and the New Deal-era colony in which he was raised," says musician Rosanne Cash. The festival includes an academic symposium, regional evening music, special panels and speakers on Friday afternoon, and an outstanding Saturday afternoon of music and memories.
Lineage groups that hold family research information are also active in October. The Re-Dedication of the Arkansas State Capitol War of 1812 Memorial Fountain (celebrating the services of 634 patriots added to the fountain) is scheduled for October 22.
The War of 1812 Memorial Fountain was erected in 1917. Inscribed with the names of 59 War of 1812 patriots buried in Arkansas, this 2019 addition of 634 names of patriots was made possible by the National Society United States Daughters of 1812.
If you had military ancestors, you may research them through the many lineage societies that document their genealogy for new applicants' memberships.
The Arkansas State Archives will present a free symposium, "_PHONE_: A History of Territorial Arkansas," from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, at MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History in Little Rock.
Speakers at the symposium will include: Theo Witsell, chief of research and inventory of the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission, who will discuss the Thomas Nuttall exploration of Arkansas; Dr. Charles Bolton, emeritus history professor at UALR, who will present "Federal Aid and the Infrastructure of Arkansas Territory;" Callie Williams, education outreach coordinator with the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, who will talk about Territorial era buildings; and historian Gary Pinkerton talking about Trammel's Trace.
Also on Oct. 26, there will be a fall field trip to historic Oakland/Fraternal Cemetery at2101 Barber Ave., Little Rock from 9-11 a.m. Sexton & cemetery expert JohnRains will demonstrate and then teach participants how to witch graves & probe for grave markers with an overview of cleaning. A $10 donation is recommended, and the Heritage Seekers Genealogy Club is the organizer. Much unexpected family history about groups of family members is often revealed in cemeteries and their associated records.
The festivals, commemorative sculptures, seminars, field trips, and dedications remind us of the unique, varied pathways to explore to find family history research resources and learn about ancestor culture for our growing family trees.
Jeanne Rollberg is a genealogy specialist with American Dream Genealogy and Research who serves on the boards of the Friends of the Arkansas State Archives and the Arkansas Genealogical Society. She teaches genealogy classes at LifeQuest of Arkansas and the Arkansas Extended Learning Center.

The COVID-19 global health pandemic has caused widespread damage, including damage to the economy, right here in the United States. Families are suffering. They are desperate for money, food, shelter, and now, they need benefits to feed their families and take care of their children. COVID-19 has impacted family life, but thankfully Lone Star Legal Aid can help families obtain public and medical benefits.
According to NPR, the following key financial findings have been revealed for families living in the United States who have been affected by COVID-19:
Families who are experiencing limited availability of money, also do not have enough money to cover medical costs for their children.
Lone Star Legal Aid has been focused on educating the community about their legal rights to public benefits during this time. Due to COVID-19, SNAP (food stamps) and Medicaid recipients will have their benefits renewed automatically. Texas is also allowing households to apply for SNAP without needing to complete an interview as long as they verify their identities.
Medicaid and CHIP will also cover COVID-19 testing for its recipients. Your healthcare provider will work with local public health officials to determine if you should be tested for COVID-19.
