Learn more about the audiobook
The Ultimate Happiness Prescription is about following certain life practices that bring you joy and fulfillment every day in your life, so you can turn so-called problems into opportunities, improve the conditions in your life for happiness, and make choices every day that will bring joy to you and happiness not only to yourself but to the people in your environment. It's called The Ultimate Happiness Prescription because it goes into an understanding of how to deal with existential unhappiness: how do you deal with old age, infirmity, and the fear of death? So, The Ultimate Happiness Prescription is not only about creating joy and happiness every day in your life, but about enlightenment: how do you get in touch with that part of yourself that is always happy, no matter what.
The Ultimate Happiness Prescription also deals with seven keys to joy and fulfillment. One: how do you get in touch with your body, the little computer that's connected to the cosmic computer. Number two: how do you find real self-esteem instead of confusing your self-esteem with your self-image. Number three: how do you detoxify your life? Get rid of emotional toxins, toxic relationships, toxic environments, toxic habits, and toxic substances. Number four: how do you find yourself, that part of you which does not feel the need to defend its point of view. How do you become so defenseless that there's nothing to attack? Number five: how do you see the world as your own reflection? In every moment of your life, the situations, circumstances, events, and people in your life are reflecting what's going on inside of you. So if you want to change the world, you have to make the shift inside of you instead of fighting or finding problems with the reflection. Number six: how do you live in the present moment? And number seven: how do you find the keys to enlightenment, move from ordinary states of consciousness to higher states of consciousness - cosmic consciousness, God consciousness, unity consciousness - so you lose the fear of death.

WWW::Kontent::Request - Kontent request object
 # Eventually, when Pugs supports this sort of thing
 method adapter(WWW::Kontent::Request $request where {.mode eq 'view' }) {
 return WWW::Kontent::Parser::parse(
WWW::Kontent::Request represents a request for a page. It is used to:
WWW::Kontent::Path object representing the path being resolved in this request.
Contains the name of the rendering mode, such as "view" (the default), "history" and "edit". Drivers, adapters, and renderers are all concerned with these modes. This actually retrieves it from the object in path.
Contains the name of the page's format, such as "html" (the default), "xml", "pdf", or "jpg". This field is mostly the purview of the renderer (and is used to select the renderer), but may be of interest to certain adapters as well, such as those used to store images. This actually retrieves it from the object in path.
Contains a hash of parameters to the page. Parameters are used to communicate information to drivers besides the mode and format; they usually correspond to HTTP POST or GET parameters.
Indicates the subrequest depth. Zero indicates that this object is the top-level request; one indicates it is a first-level subrequest; and so on. Many renderers will omit "chrome" such as headers or navigation tools in a subrequest, but drivers and adapters may be interested in this as well.
Contains the MIME type of the final output; as such, this is usually set by the renderer, but sometimes the adapter handles this instead. HTTP supervisors will typically output this value as the Content-Type header.
Contains the HTTP status code that should be returned to the browser; defaults to 200.
Contains the store's root page.
After a call to.resolve, contains the page and revision so resolved. These fields should usually be used only by supervisors; the request object will arrange for renderers and page classes to receive their own references to the revision object.
Contains the renderer to be used for this request.
Contains a WWW::Kontent::Session object for the current session.
Contains the path to the current user object. This is retrieved from the session during object construction.
Contains the current revision of the user page.
Constructors$store_root), :path("/foo/bar[42].atom{edit}"), :sid($session_id), :parameters({ baz => 'quux' }));
The normal constructor for a Request object; usually called only from the supervisor. Parses path if provided to acquire an address.
$request.subrequest($path, { :param1 })>
Constructs a subrequest with the same format and mode as the current request, but the parameters and path provided.
Note that the same renderer class will be used as $request, even if a different format is provided. The reason for this will become clear through deep meditation on exactly what the Kolophon code {{/images/foo.jpg}} should do in an HTML renderer.
Tells the objects in the userpath and pagepath attributes to resolve themselves; in the process, fills the user, page, and revision attributes.
Convenience method which calls.resolve, then the revision's driver, and finally the renderer. Returns a string containing the renderer's output. It also handles restarts and other inner exceptions.
Resolves a partial path (one that may be relative to the current page or any of its parents, and whose final component may be the title of a page rather than its name). Returns an array of Revision objects which match the path in question.
trigger_magic('pre','resolve', $foo, $bar)
Triggers any magic hooks associated with the event in question. The last data argument is returned, and may be modified by the magic hooks.

We present Video SnapCut, a robust video object cutout system that significantly advances the state-of-the-art. In our system segmentation is achieved by the collaboration of a set of local classifiers, each adaptively integrating multiple local image features. We show how this segmentation paradigm naturally supports local user editing and propagates them across time. The object cutout system is completed with a novel coherent video matting technique. A comprehensive evaluation and comparison is presented, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed system at achieving high quality results, as well as the robustness of the system against various types of inputs. I will also show the system running as an Adobe After Effects plug-in.

_G, y_G)$ from groups groups $(S_1,\dots, S_G) \in [0,1]^d $. For example, scores from all the blue lines sum up to 1.0 for the class "tench" in the example above.

The concept of groups is then formalized as following:

Grouped Attribution: Let $x\in\mathbb R^d$ be an example, and let \(S_1, \dots, S_G \in \{0,1\}^d\) designate $G$ groups of features where $j \in S_i$ if feature $j$ is included in the $i$th group. Then, a grouped feature attribution is a collection $\beta = {(S_i,c_i)}_{i=1}^G$ where $c_i\in\mathbb R$ is the attributed score for the $i$th group of features $m_i$.

We can prove that there is a constant sized grouped attribution that achieves zero insertion error, when we add whole groups together using their grouped attribution scores.

Corollary. Consider the binomial from the Theorem 1 Sketch. Then, there exists a grouped attribution with zero insertion error for the binomial.

Grouped attributions can then faithfully represent contributions from groups of features. We can then overcome exponentially growing insertion errors when the features interact with each other.

Our Approach: Sum-of-Parts Models

Now that we understand the need for grouped attributions, how do we ensure they are faithful?

We develop Sum-of-Parts (SOP), a faithful-by-construction model that first assigns features to groups with $\mathsf{GroupGen}$ module, and then select and aggregates predictions from the groups with $\mathsf{GroupSelect}$ module.

In this way, the prediction from each group only depends on the group, and the score for a group is thus faithful to the group's contribution.

Structure of a Sum-of-Parts model. A group generator $g$ first generates groups of features. Each group of features \(S_i\odot X\) then goes through the backbone model to obtain the group embedding \(z_i\). A group selector $q$ then assigns a score $c_i$ to each group $i$'s representation. The logits from groups are then aggregated for final prediction $y$.

Does Quality of Social Interaction Affect Happiness? By: Art Markman, [Psychology Today], Two Paths Integrative Wellness, LLC, Farmington Hills, MI 48334
Being around other people can make you happy
Human beings are a social species. Connecting with others is crucial, because that is how we learn about how the world works. That is how we accomplish tasks that require more effort than a single person could put in.
Because of the importance of our social interactions, it would make sense that engagement with other people would generally be satisfying and enjoyable for people. But, what kinds of interactions would make people happy? Is it enough just to be around people and to have casual conversations? Or is it important to be engaged in deep and meaningful conversations?
prominent study by Matthias Mehl, Simine Vazire, Shannon Holleran, and Shelby Clark in 2010 suggested that the quality of interactions matters. They had college undergraduates walk around with a device that would randomly record the audio environment over the course of a 3-day period. After the undergrads removed any content they didn't want other people to hear, the researchers analyzed how long each participant was in the presence of other people and whether they were having casual conversations or were talking about more substantive matters.

Honeycomb Amber Pendant
Honeycomb Amber Pendant
 - £6490
A lovely elongated cognac Amber gemstone, decorated with a honeycomb pattern in silver on one side and on the bale. It comes complete with an 18 inch silver chain.
Amber is the fossilised resin of ancient pine trees. Our Amber comes from the Baltic region and was formed during the Eocene geological period, about 44 million years ago, when the Baltic region was experiencing a semi -tropical climate. As the resin seeped from the trees it began to solidify on the tree bark or fell to the forest floor, often being carried to the sea by streams. This is why originally much Amber was found washed up on the beaches.
A birthstone for Aries and Leo, it is said to promote courage, vitality and personal growth.
Weight excluding chain: 5.7 grams Stone size : 3cm x 1.4cm

From NIV, Luke 17:
One common interpretation here is that the "little ones" refers to children, however, this is not obvious in the context, and there are many other possibilities, including sinners, doubters, everyone, etc. Indeed, this may also hinge on what "to stumble" means here: whether it is to doubt their faith versus tempt to sin, or something else.
Is there a common agreement on who the "little ones" are here?

Matthew 18 also cites Jesus' words regarding little ones, and does so more frequently:
In this context, Jesus specifically identifies a child and speaks of children, then refers to children as "these little ones". So, interpreting Scripture in light of Scripture, it is pretty conclusive that "little ones" refers to children.

It sounds to me like "one such child" means "whomever humbles himself like this child" – kurosch Aug 28 '12 at 21:15
Jesus starts to speak about the children after the proud disciples start to debate about who will be the greatest, and also forbid others from casting out demons in Christ's name just because they were not approved by the Apostles. The literal little children represents little disciples that were not considered great. – Mike Aug 29 '12 at 5:43

If you look at Wesley's Explanatory Notes,

However I would be interested in seeing what Hermeneutics says about this one too. I suspect that the original words can be translated a little differently - but similarly / same meaning.

(+1) Of course he refers to weak believers the children are just symbols of his teaching as is almost everything in the gospels. The whole context of the narratives show his concern for the weak who like bruised reeds he would not break, or smoldering wicks he would not snuff. Those who keep the faith from baby Christians from growing are greatly warned. These are false prophets, etc. – Mike Aug 29 '12 at 5:37

Haydock's commentary quotes venerable (is he not a saint yet?) Bede as pointing out the similarity in words used in the parable of the lost sheep
In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish. > Matthew 18:14 NIV
Here, little ones means sheep, which usually means whoever follows the shepherd. The shepherd being Jesus. The key component of sheep-hood is obedience and humility (at least the humility of knowing you're a sheep)
But, more to your question, there's nothing wrong with having lots and lots of explanations of the Bible. I think that Jesus is talking about real children here because He taught with examples all the time ("see that poor woman over there, she gave more than you bums"). So, the literal interpretation is little ones = little people and that should do a little to give any pedophile priest a bit of pause while reading that Gospel.
The metaphorical sense is that little one means freshly minted or potential Christ follower (which would include children) since hindering these folks on their spiritual journey could have gave consequences grave punishement is afforded the purpotrators.
The moral sense of "little ones" might be that little ones are those that it is incumbent on all the teachers of the faith to pass on to their students authentic teaching that will not confuse them or encumber their spiritual growth.
The eternal sense tells us of the punishement due to those who were given much but stink at passing it on. Which is why I approach each year of Catechism Class with fear and trembling.

National Science Foundation (NSF) Grant Award
In September of 2020, Dr. Johnson received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant entitled "Exploring the unique effects of shared past adversity for enhancing social connection and identify-safety in STEM". The grant will expand on previous research Dr. Johnson has done that explores who acts as a role model for Black women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). In order for an individual to serve as a role model, students must feel a social connection, or identify with, the role model. Importantly, role models can spark interest in STEM and encourage a sense of belonging in STEM fields. Black women only comprise 2% of the STEM workforce; thus, identifying who acts a role model for Black women is critical to increase their representation in STEM. The research in the grant will focus on role models specifically for STEM students who identify as Black and female. To learn more about the NSF funded work and Dr. Johnson's research, you can visit her website at: _URL_
Dr. India R. Johnson is a social psychologist that joined Butler's Department of Psychology in 2019. Dr. Johnson earned her PhD in Social Psychology from The Ohio State University, and earned her bachelor's degree in Psychology from IUPUI. Dr. Johnson is an intergroup relations researcher, and her work focuses on how to improve the quality and quantity of interactions between persons of differing identities, with an emphasis on promoting feelings of identity-safety among members of marginalized groups (e.g. racial and ethnic minorities, sexual and gender minorities, women, immigrants, and religious minorities). In addition to being a social psychologist and professor, Dr. Johnson is a wife to her amazing husband, Ricky, and mother of four incredible daughters, Anjanée, Lyric, Ryvar & Rylan.

We study the endemic behaviour of a homogeneously mixing SIS epidemic in a population of size N with a general infectious period, Q, by introducing a novel subcritical branching process with immigration approximation. This provides a simple but useful approximation of the quasistationary distribution of the SIS epidemic for finite N and the asymptotic Gaussian limit for the endemic equilibrium as N → ∞. A surprising observation is that the quasistationary distribution of the SIS epidemic model depends on Q only through E[Q].

Safe and rich Rust wrapper around the Vulkan API
Last update: Jun 14, 2022
Vulkano
Crates.io Docs Build Status Gitter chat
See also vulkano.rs.
Vulkano is a Rust wrapper around the Vulkan graphics API. It follows the Rust philosophy, which is that as long as you don't use unsafe code you shouldn't be able to trigger any undefined behavior. In the case of Vulkan, this means that non-unsafe code should always conform to valid API usage.
What does vulkano do?
 - Provides a low-levelish API around Vulkan. It doesn't hide what it does, but provides some comfort types.
 - Plans to prevent all invalid API usages, even the most obscure ones. The purpose of vulkano is not to simply let you draw a teapot, but to cover all possible usages of Vulkan and detect all the possible problems in order to write robust programs. Invalid API usage is prevented thanks to both compile-time checks and runtime checks.
 - Can handle synchronization on the GPU side for you (unless you choose do that yourself), as this aspect of Vulkan is both annoying to handle and error-prone. Dependencies between submissions are automatically detected, and semaphores are managed automatically. The behavior of the library can be customized thanks to unsafe trait implementations.
 - Tries to be convenient to use. Nobody is going to use a library that requires you to browse the documentation for hours for every single operation.
Note that in general vulkano does not require you to install the official Vulkan SDK. This is not something specific to vulkano (you don't need the SDK to write programs that use Vulkan, even without vulkano), but many people are unaware of that and install the SDK thinking that it is required. However, macOS and iOS platforms do require a little more Vulkan setup since it is not natively supported. See below for more details.
Development status
Vulkano is still in heavy development and doesn't yet meet its goals of being very robust. However the general structure of the library is most likely definitive, and all future breaking changes will likely be straight-forward to fix in user code.
Documentation
To get started you are encouraged to use the following resources:
 - The guide on vulkano.rs - Starts with trivial compute examples (~50 lines of code) then works up to rendering triangles and mandelbrots.
 - The vulkano-examples repository - Includes examples in the repo and also a list of projects that use vulkano.
 - docs.rs - Full Vulkano API documentation
Setup
Vulkano uses shaderc-rs for shader compilation. Refer to shaderc-rs documentation to provide a pre-built libshaderc for faster build times.
Unless you provide libshaderc, in order to build libshaderc with the shaderc-sys crate, the following tools must be installed and available on PATH:
 - CMake
 - Ninja Is optional except when building with MSVC. It may speed up build time for libshaderc.
 - Python (works with both Python 2.x and 3.x, on windows the executable must be named python.exe)
These requirements can be either installed with your favourite package manager or with installers from the projects' websites. Below are some example ways to get setup.
windows-msvc Specific Setup
 1. rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
 2. Install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017. If you have already been using this toolchain then its probably already installed.
 3. Install msys2, following ALL of the instructions.
 4. Then in the msys2 terminal run: pacman --noconfirm -Syu mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-python2 mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja
 5. Add the msys2 mingw64 binary path to the PATH environment variable.
Windows-gnu Specific Setup
windows-gnu toolchain is not supported but you can instead cross-compile to windows-gnu from windows-msvc
Steps 1 and 2 are to workaround _URL_ by using the same mingw that rust uses.
 1. Download and extract _URL_
 2. Add the absolute path to mingw64\bin to your PATH environment variable. (This path needs to be before the msys2 path)
 3. Run the command: rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
 4. Run the command: rustup target install x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
 5. Install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017. If you have already been using this toolchain then its probably already installed.
 6. Install msys2, following ALL of the instructions.
 7. Then in the msys2 terminal run: pacman --noconfirm -Syu mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-make mingw-w64-x86_64-python2 mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja
 8. Add the msys2 mingw64 binary path to the PATH environment variable.
 9. Any cargo command that builds the project needs to include --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu e.g. to run: cargo run --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
Linux Specific Setup
Use your package manager to install the required dev-tools and vulkan drivers
For example on ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential git python cmake libvulkan-dev vulkan-utils
On arch based system
sudo pacman -Sy base-devel git python cmake vulkan-devel --noconfirm
macOS and iOS Specific Setup
Vulkan is not natively supported by macOS and iOS. However, there exists MoltenVK an open-source Vulkan implementation on top of Apple's Metal API. This allows vulkano to build and run on macOS and iOS platforms.
The easiest way to get vulkano up and running with MoltenVK is to install the Vulkan SDK for macOS. There are installation instructions on the LunarG website.
On iOS, vulkano links directly to the MoltenVK framework. There is nothing else to do besides installing it. Note that the Vulkan SDK for macOS also comes with the iOS framework.

Structure
This repository contains four libraries:
 - vulkano is the main one.
 - vulkano-shaders Provides the shader! macro for compiling glsl shaders.
 - vulkano-win provides a safe link between vulkano and the winit library which can create a window to render to.
 - vk-sys contains raw bindings for Vulkan. You can use it even if you don't care about vulkano.
In order to run tests, run cargo test --all at the root of the repository. Make sure your Vulkan driver is up to date before doing so.

Comments
 - 1. Support for MoltenVK
 cc #300
 Remains to do:
 - [ ] Expose the ActivateMoltenVKLicenseMVK function somewhere in vulkano.
 - [x] Tweak winit to allow exporting the NSView or UIView of the window. For MacOS this is done by adding an additional function here: _URL_
 - [x] Update vulkano-win to create surfaces on MacOS and iOS.
 - ~~Check that it's a correct thing to do to dlopen the MoltenVK library.~~
 After steps 2 and 3, it should "just work" if you put the MoltenVK file next to the executable. Step 1 is optional for now because the free trial doesn't require activating a license.
 I'm not sure that I'll finish this PR soon, so feel free to submit PRs to the moltenvk branch if you want to work on it. It should be fairly easy to do steps 2 and 3 (feel free to ask questions).
 I'm also unsure about whether we'll want to merge this branch until MoltenVK is stable enough. I don't really want to have obsolete code in vk-sys because they decided to modify their extensions.

text: The 5 movements of the Second Symphony are represented by various objects in the sketch. The "Todtenfeier" is represented by the weeping figure. According to Mahler's narrative, the protagonist recalls a sweet moment in his life in the 2nd movement. As such, the 2nd movement is represented by the rose held by the mourner. The protagonist's moment of bliss is shattered in the 3rd movement when he recalls the turmoil of human existence, which is represented by the dates of the 2 World Wars written on the shaded side of the coffin. In this sketch, "Urlicht" is represented by the illuminated rose on the coffin, with the rose also being a reference to the first line of the Wunderhorn song. Finally, the glorious finale of the 5th movement is represented by the beam of light shining onto the coffin.

Purple Feet When Sitting
Do your feet turn purple after you sit? Purple feet when sitting may sound alarming. It may make you think about artery blockages or a compressed vein. But, usually the color changes are not a sign of danger.
The Most Common Cause of Purple Feet When Sitting
You may have never heard the term acrocyanosis. But, that is the most common cause of purple feet when sitting. Sometimes people are alarmed when they notice that their feet turn color with sitting. This color change can also happen in other common situations like prolonged standing or when coming out of the shower. But, if the discoloration resolves quickly with elevation, it is usually acrocyanosis.
Purple feet when sitting
Purple feet from acrocyanosis
Acrocyanosis is usually primary. This means it is usually just that – discoloration of the feet. Primary acrocyanosis is not associated with pain or with damage to the skin. But, sometimes it can be more severe. Then, it might be secondary to something else. In these cases, you have to find the other cause.
Cold Reaction
Our arteries constrict when exposed to the cold. That is a normal response. The idea is that by constricting, the arteries limit exposure to the cold and protect the body. When the arteries constrict, some blood gets trapped in the toes. That blood releases oxygen to the surrounding tissue. Once that happens the remaining blood that has lost its oxygen will look blue.
If this is the cause for the purple feet, rewarming them will result in improvement in the discoloration.
Purple Feet after Frostbite
But, there is another type of purple feet from cold. Sometimes the foot suffers injury from extreme cold. That will result in frostbite. Sometimes, even long after frostbite, there will be remaining damage. It is not clear if this is damage to the arteries or damage to the nerve endings. But the end result is exaggerated response to the cold. So after such injury, even mild cold might cause significant color changes. In some people there will also be numbness. Obviously, in these cases we will suspect at least some cold induced peripheral neuropathy.
Purple Feet with Heat
Some people notice that their feet become more purple when it is hot. Another common situation is coming out of a hot shower. In both cases the reason for the discoloration is the same. When it is hot, our blood vessels dilate. Basically, they are trying to get more blood to flow through them to get rid of some of the excess heat. But, in some people some of the blood will linger in the feet. The reason is that when the blood vessels are dilated, blood flows more slowly. In essence, it is like a river. When the river widens, water flows more slowly. And when blood lingers, it gradually loses its oxygen and looks blue.
This situation can seem alarming, but it is now dangerous. Typically, walking around or cooling off will improve the discoloration. Obviously, compression stockings can help prevent pooling of blood. But on the other hand, they might feel hot in warm weather. So whether to use them is a matter of choice.
Medication Side Effects
Some medications damage the nerves around the feet. For instance, medications for a type of blood cancer called multiple myeloma. These medications can cause peripheral neuropathy, which may be associated with purple feet when sitting. But there are other medications that can affect the blood vessels directly.
Adderall
Adderall induced vascular disease is a problem that does not receive much attention. There are scientific publications about this matter, though. Adderall can cause narrowing of the small arteries in the hands and feet. This can result in Raynaud's phenomena, purple feet and even gangrene.
Some people take Adderall to help them concentrate when they study or work. So, often Adderall is involved in causing purple feet when sitting.
Dangerous Causes of Purple Feet When Sitting
Artery Blockages
The most common cause for artery blockages is peripheral artery disease. Severe lack of blood flow to the feet will result in discoloration. The feet may seem pale or sometimes purple (or black). Peripheral artery disease that is severe enough to cause color changes will often also cause pain. This pain is usually worse with leg elevation and better with dangling the legs down. So, many patients prefer to be sitting. These symptoms should not be ignored. They can result in tissue loss or even amputation.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
A deep vein thrombosis can reduce the flow of blood out of the leg. Of course, this will result in stagnation of blood in the feet and lower parts of the leg. This is worse with sitting, because the legs are down. You must never ignore sudden discoloration of one leg, especially if it is accompanied with pain and swelling.
Purple Feet in Wheelchair Bound People
People who are wheelchair bound obviously sit (or lay down) all day and night long. This causes some specific problems related to the blood flow to the feet and legs. While many wheelchair bound people do not have swollen legs, many do. Often, they have swollen purple feet.
The mechanism behind these symptoms is a bit complex. First, there is dependent edema. This is the reason for the swelling. However, then, because of the lack of motion and the chronic dependency, there is also pooling of blood in the feet. Lack of motion means that the foot, ankle and calf pumps are not moving blood out of the foot. So, blood lingers and releases its oxygen to the surrounding tissue. Blood without oxygen looks blue or purple. Essentially, this is acrocyanosis, that is more pronounced, and harder to reverse.
Also, part of keeping blood flowing normally in our feet involves proper innervation. Obviously, many wheelchair bound people do not have appropriate nerve action. So, blood vessels dilate from lack of tension. This dilatation makes the problem worse. It allows more fluid to leave the blood vessels and it reduces the flow rate of blood out of the feet.
Importantly, wheelchair bound people are at risk for developing a blood clot. So, never ignore one leg swelling. Especially, if it happened suddenly, with or without purple discoloration.

UE 4.25.3 + FMOD 2.01.04
Distance set in event in FMOD Studio is about 30 times larger then in game.
For example in FMOD Studio setting attenuation distance to 12.7 makes it work in game on distance close to 387. Like on attached image:
What can we do to use same values in both?
Have a great day
Are you able to describe the setup you used to measure and report the distance on the UE4 side?
Are you using FMOD::System::set3DSettings to change the distance scale in FMOD?
I suspect this is probably a confusion about the units used for measuring distances.
FMOD Studio uses a system where 1 unit is 1 meter, UE4 uses uu ("Unreal Units") where 1 uu is 1 centimeter. Our integration converts UE4 position vectors from centimeters to meters by dividing the position vector's components by 100.
So if the distance between the listener and an FMOD event is calculated in UE4 then we expect the value to be 100 times larger than the numeric value of an automatic distance parameter on the FMOD event.
The distance measured in UE4 being 30 times the FMOD distance could be explained if there is a scale factor on the value being displayed in UE4 or if the distance scale in FMOD has been changed.
Glad to see this is solved now, I wonder if you could explain any further? No pressure but if you can then it might prove very useful for future users with similar issues who happen on this topic
We were measuring distance not from listener but from object to which listener is attached. That was causing odd value.

A Case Study of Crestwood Primary School: Organizational Routines Implemented For Data-Driven Decison Making
Williams, Kimberly Graybeal
MetadataShow full item record
The research study investigated how organizational routines influenced classroom and intervention instruction in a primary school. Educators have used student data for decades but they continue to struggle with the best way to use data to influence instruction. The historical overview of the research highlighted the context of data use from the Effective Schools movement through the No Child Left Behind Act noting the progression of emphasis placed on student data results. While numerous research studies have focused on the use of data, the National Center for Educational Evaluation and Regional Assistance (2009) reported that existing research on the use of data to make instructional decisions does not yet provide conclusive evidence of what practices work to improve student achievement. A descriptive case study methodology was employed to investigate the educational phenomenon of organizational routines implemented for data-driven decision making to influence classroom and intervention instruction. The case study examined a school that faced the macrolevel pressures of school improvement. The study triangulated data from surveys, interviews, and document analysis in an effort to reveal common themes about organizational routines for data-driven decision making. The study participants identified 14 organizational routines as influencing instruction. The interview questions focused on the common themes of (a) curriculum alignment, (b) common assessments, (c) guided reading levels, (d) professional learning communities, and (e) acceleration plans. The survey respondents and interview participants explained how the organizational routines facilitated the use of data by providing (a) focus and direction, (b) student centered instruction, (c) focus on student growth, (d) collaboration and teamwork, (e), flexible grouping of students, and (f) teacher reflection and ownership of all students. Challenges and unexpected outcomes of the organizational routines for data-driven decision making were also �[BULLET] discussed. The challenges with the most references included (a) time, (b) too much data (c) data with conflicting information, (d) the pacing guide, and (e) changing teacher attitudes and practices. Ultimately, a data-driven culture was cultivated within the school that facilitated instructional adjustments resulting in increased academic achievement.

What is Aircraft Hijacking? (with pictures).
Write an essay on hijacking a plane in which I was there Ask for details; Follow Report by Deepshikhadiya2006 19.04.2019 Log in to add a comment.
The 1968 bombing was the first time that an El Al flight was hijacked. El Al is Israel's major commercial carrier. Following the hijacking, El Al became extremely security-conscious and instituted the first baggage check program. This bombing is sometimes considered to be the inaugural event for international terrorism.
Short Story 2008 "Flight 740 for Boston", came the recorded female voice inside the departure lounge. About an hour earlier, seventeen year old Aussie Jason had been telling his weepy mother and father that he would be fine flying on his own. He could do it. It wasn't much.
The hijackings--part of 29 hijackings attempted or carried out by Palestinian factions between 1968 and 1977--triggered the Jordanian civil war, also known as Black September, as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the PFLP attempted to seize control of Jordan from King Hussein. Hussein's toppling failed, however, and the hostage crisis was resolved on Sept. 30 when the PFLP.
Air law - Air law - Hijacking: Unlawful seizure is the legal name that states at the international level have given to aircraft hijacking. Thus, the 1963 Tokyo Convention obliges contracting states to take all appropriate measures to restore control of an aircraft hijacked in flight to its lawful commander, and obliges the state in which the aircraft lands to allow the passengers and crew to.
There was the man who kept calm through the whole hijacking only to lose his temper when Cypriot police confiscated his frozen. Passengers of hijacked EgpytAir flight tell their stories.
It was the fourth day of our holiday in the Phillippines. My family and I looked forward to another day of adventure and enjoyment in this wonderful country. Since we stepped off our plane onto this city, it has never failed to amaze us. There were great food and friendly people everywhere we wen.

East Branch Indian Creek Bridge
N.M. Stark of Des Moines began building bridges for Story County in 1902 and soon became the county's only bridge builder. This trend lasted until the state legislature passed legislation in 1913 prohibiting annual bridge contracts and codifying bidding procedure. This effectively ended Stark's monopoly on bridge construction in the county; after 1913 he did not build a single bridge. But in the early 1910s he was responsible for several small- and medium-scale concrete arches, built using the patented configuration of Indianapolis engineer Daniel Luten. Stark's arches ranged in span length from 20 feet to 75 feet, and all featured the distinctive elliptical profile of Luten's design and the concrete parapets with incised rectangular panels that had become a Stark trademark.
Located southeast of Nevada in Nevada Township, the East Indian Creek Bridge was one of the arches built by Stark during this period. It was constructed for a cost of $4,462, as part of a multiple-bridge contract awarded to Stark in May 1912. With a span length of 75 feet, the Indian Creek Bridge was the longest concrete arch built by Stark in the county, excluding the Squaw Creek Bridge (since destroyed by floods) he erected in Ames in 1908. It is thus technologically significant as a long-span example of a patented structural type, constructed by the state's most prolific concrete bridge builder before the standardization of bridge design in Iowa [adapted from Fraser 1992].

A decision support system for procurement risk management in the presence of spot market.
Lee, C. K. M.
Date of Issue2012
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
In the presence of spot market, this paper presents a decision support system to model risks for procurement processes and to design a robust purchasing plan, including supplier selection and order allocation. Taking advantages of contract supplier and spot market, the buyer can better meet business requirements in this dynamic business environment. However, there are limitations of existing methods for modeling multiple correlated risks to support decision makers for allocating orders among multiple suppliers in the presence of spot market. Therefore, Monte Carlo simulation algorithm termed as Expected Profit–Supply at Risk (A-EPSaR) is proposed to quantify each supplier's risk so as to let decision maker realize the trade-off between profit and risk. The goal programming model helps to allocate orders among the supplier pool and the contract-spot allocation model can assign orders between the spot market and the supplier pool, respectively. The significance of this paper is to propose a novel decision support framework which helps the buyer to make optimal and robust procurement decision including supplier selection and order allocation among multiple supplier sources in the existence of correlated demand, yield and spot price uncertainties. A case study is used to illustrate the performance of the proposed framework and the proposed methods show the promising result.

Video Modeling: Combining Dynamic Model Simulations with Traditional Video Analysis Documents
The Tracker video analysis program allows users to overlay simple dynamic particle models on a video clip. In a typical video modeling experiment students capture and open a digital video file, calibrate the scale, and define appropriate coordinate axes just as for traditional video analysis. But instead of tracking objects with the mouse, students define theoretical force expressions and initial conditions for a dynamic model simulation that synchronizes with and draws itself on the video. The behavior of the model is thus compared directly with that of the real-world motion. Tracker uses the Open Source Physics code library so sophisticated models are possible. Video modeling offers advantages over both traditional video analysis and simulation-only modeling. This paper includes video modeling experiments produced by students in an Introductory Mechanics course.

George Brew 'when he wasn't drunk or in prison'.)
The façade still standing today was designed by Emil Guenther, and for five years (including in our picture) all that was visible was a three storey façade and the side wall propped up with steel bracing after a fire destroyed the building in 2000. Given the ferocity of the fire, it's remarkable that the front of the building stayed standing. The Heritage Statement still describes it as a propped façade, but that's very outdated as in 2008 a new development was completed along with the adjacent Grand Hotel to restore the retail use and add condos on the upper floors (and two additional floors set back from the heritage element). The Grand was an earlier building, dating back to 1889, and the owner, Thomas J Roberts, was killed in while attending a card game in 1918, as we noted in an earlier post.
The owner of the new Terminus Hotel when it was built was William Rees Jones; one of six people called William Jones in the city in 1901. He was either born in England into a Welsh family (1901 census) or in Wales (1891 census), and he had arrived in Canada in 1858 when he would have been aged about 15. He was running the Terminus from 1890, buying it from Bill Blair. William Blair was from Maine, and he appears in very early Granville (pre Vancouver) street directories; the first we've found him in was in 1882 when he was running the Deighton House, built by 'Gassy Jack' many years earlier. Before he arrived in Granville he was in Victoria from 1877. Around 1884 he'd moved up the street to run a saloon at this location, with Blair's Hall at the back, where dances, meetings (and church services) were held. After he sold the bar, Blair became a general contractor.
In October 1901 the replacement building for the Terminus was announced. The original hotel and saloon weren't torn down; rather, they were moved to the rear of the site (which hadn't been redeveloped as a hall after the fire) to clear the space at the front for the new structure.
In what reads suspiciously like an 'advertorial' – but which was typical of the day for the thoroughness of the description, the Vancouver Daily Work of 22 March 1902 announced the completion: "On the Site of a Pioneer Water Street Hotel Rises a Complete Up-to-date Structure. Many people thought that the lot on which the Terminus hotel stood could not be made useable for a hotel. It was enclosed between high buildings on either side and the light was shut off. Since the days when Vancouver was a baby the Terminus had been there. It was one of the first hotels that reared itself phoenix – like above the ashes, and Mr. William, Jones hated to change the locality. He therefore decided that once again the house should arise, and he entrusted the work of making the plans to Emil B. Guenther. The result is that there stands today one of the most complete hostelries in Vancouver on the site of what was the old Terminus. The building has a brick front with stone finishings, with a series of bow windows on the front that give a view direct across the Inlet from the front and also a view each way east and west. The general contractor for the building was E. Cook, the well known contractor, whose foreman on the contract was George W. Maynard. The sub – contractors were: (including heaters in bar for hot water. Cope & Frey; heating, hot water, Leek & Co.; for fixtures, Robertson and Hackett: plumbing. W. Brown; painting. H. Miller; furnishing, Chas. Hach; bedding, Pioneer Mattress Factory, R. F. Campbell, manager.
The architect Emil Guenther, went to Seattle and Tacoma to see if anything had been overlooked. The result is that from his own ideas and what he learned abroad on the old site of the Terminus has arisen the most perfect hotel that is to be found of its kind on the const. It was enclosed on either side by high wholesale houses, and the greatest feature was to secure perfect light. This has been done by the judicious use of a skylight that takes in the whole roof. Through this it has been arranged that there is not a dark room in the house. The main entrance is from Water street, but on either side are entrances to the basement, in which are situated a barber shop and a day and night restaurant. The latter will be under the charge of Mr. W. McArthur. The dining room is connected by speaking tubes and bells with the bar, and that is in itself a credit to local workmanship, it is finished in polished oak with tile floor and gutter. The bar is 40 feet long and the back is designed in a series of arches with half – curved pilasters and capitals. The wainscoting is terra cotta cement with enamelled surface finishing, ensuring absolute sanitariness, and the walls and ceiling are finished in pressed steel in tastefully blended shades, making a complete poem in color. The kitchen is supplied with a flue 8 feet by 1 inches, clear to the top, so that it is impossible for any odor to reach the storeys above. The bedrooms are supplied with good, substantial furniture from the well known house of C. Hach, and all the beds have the "D. P." springs and the "Jumbo" soft mattresses. The house was open to the public today at 11 a.m., and is many ways as regards completeness and novelties not overlooking, for example, the electric water heaters supplied by Cope & Frey will be of interest to the public generally. Mr. Jones' confidence in the city is shown, by the fact that he has invested in this building $35,000. Old timers will remember the Terminus locality. Near it was our first church, and on the lot on which it stands was a building in which Sunday services were held in the early days. Those who were here in the old times will remember the gospel hall and will he pleased to know that the man who so freely gave his Premises for the carrying on of any good work in the early days has prospered."
This suggests Mr. Jones might have been a really 'old timer' in the city. There are hints of this elsewhere – a reference in the Archives notes of Major Matthews to "Dissolution of Partnership between William Jones and John Thomas ("Navvy Jack" Thomas – another Welshman), and "Partnership Notice" between William Jones and Joseph Mannion, published in Mainland Guardian, 5 April 1873." Indeed, looking for references to "Billy Jones" reveals more references to his early saloon, next door to the Granville House Hotel (which he had originally partnered with Mannion to acquire from Ebenezer Brown). In 1874 he was in partnership with Mannion. Despite this we haven't found any early directory references to William (or Billy) Jones in Granville. At least one interviewee thought he was an American. The first reference to the Terminus is in 1889 when Bill Blair was proprietor before William Jones bought it a year later. We have no idea what William Jones – assuming it's the same William Jones – did between the mid 1870s and buying the saloon in 1890, but he wasn't in Granville/Vancouver.
The new hotel's early history is recorded in the newspapers of the day; a drunk who tried to kick out all the panels of the hotel; underage drinkers identified by the police; theft of a visitor's bicycle wheel. A more serious case was a 1905 attempt to remove Mr. Jones's licence because he was present when his barman was serving drink 'after hours' when the curtains had been pulled to indicate the bar was closed. (It was during one of the periods in the city's history when the forces of temperance were trying to restrict the serious drinking that took place). W J Bowser, the lawyer defending the case successfully persuaded the Magistrate that it wasn't an intentional lapse of the law, as one drinker was resident in the hotel (and therefore a member of the household who could legitimately drink at any time) and the other was understood to be resident – although he had in fact moved to a different establishment a short while before. In 1906 the Daily World announced "WATER ST. HOTEL SOLD. S. Swoboda, mayor of Wetaskiwin, Alberta, has purchased the Terminus hotel, Water street, from William Jones. Mr. Swoboda has no intention of starting in the hotel business, hut he talks of selling out his extensive interests in Alberta, and coming to the coast. The Terminus is one of the oldest hotels in the city."
In February 1908 the hotel was mentioned several times when a patron was stabbed. In 1909 the hotel, with 33 rooms, was offered for sale again. Leased at $250 a month, it was offered for sale at $33,000. The licensee, George Patton, was in court later that year, accused of allowing gambling on the premises. The attempts to sell the property don't seem to have been successful, or Mr Jones had second thoughts as W Jones, was still the owner in 1912 when he had R H Atkinson design an alteration to the store here. The 1911 street directory shows that he wasn't running the hotel by then; that was R Fiddler and James Thompson. Thompson had run the hotel on his own from 1905 (although he was mis-identified as Johnson that year), but William Jones was shown still living in the hotel, but from 1906 he was in retirement.
At some point the hotel ceased offering the full hotel facilities:

"It Didn't Happen If You Didn't Write It Down"S
Borrowing an idea from a Tom Clancy novel, software developer and blogger Christopher Schanck explains why he writes everything down, then suggests a handful of worthy tools for the job.
Photo by Jacob Bøtter.
If you think of a good idea and don't record it somewhere, you'll forget it. Inevitably. If you need something done by a certain time and don't record it somewhere, you'll miss it. If you learn something while roaming through code, or exploring a new tool, write your experiences down. You'll thank yourself later.
As far as his write-it-down tool suggestions go, Schanck discusses everything from the classic text editor Emacs and reader favorite mind-mapping tool FreeMind to Evernote and pencil and paper. Ultimately, Schanck doesn't prescribe anything in particular—it's really an individual choice based on what works best for you—because it's not really about the tool you use to do the job, but the benefits of writing things down and taking notes in the first place.
So what about you? Do you prescribe to the "It didn't happen if you didn't write it down" philosophy? Tell us about it in the comments.

55 miles of Albany's 376 miles of water mains were installed in the mid-19th century. However, some of the mains may even be older, with some cast iron mains possibly installed in 1813. If true, Albany would have the oldest functioning cast iron pipe in the western hemisphere.
Incidentally, all of the water mains in the City originally were hollowed-out tree trunks, many installed in the 1700s. Although unlikely, there is a very remote, outside chance that somewhere beneath some of the oldest parts of our City, a functioning wooden water main remains.

The leaky bucket algorithm is a method of temporarily storing a variable number of requests and organizing them into a set-rate output of packets in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network.
The leaky bucket is used to implement traffic policing and traffic shaping in Ethernet and cellular data networks. The algorithm can also be used to control metered-bandwidth Internet connections to prevent going over the allotted bandwidth for a month, thereby avoiding extra charges.
The algorithm works similarly to the way an actual leaky bucket holds water: The leaky bucket takes data and collects it up to a maximum capacity. Data in the bucket is only released from the bucket at a set rate and size of packet. When the bucket runs out of data, the leaking stops. If incoming data would overfill the bucket, then the packet is considered to be non-conformant and is not added to the bucket. Data is added to the bucket as space becomes available for conforming packets.
The leaky bucket algorithm can also detect both gradually increasing and dramatic memory error increases by comparing how the average and peak data rates exceed set acceptable background amounts.
In a broader context, the leaky bucket is an analogy for describing how inputs and outputs work in a wide variety of business and technology systems.

Homework is a hot topic in education today. Theories on what is appropriate range from hours of rigorous homework every night to none at all. The assessment of homework is even more debatable. What are your thoughts on this issue? What type of homework policy to you plan to use in your classroom? How do you defend/justify this when questioned about your policy?
- What are you thoughts on the issue? Questioning homework can't be separated from questioning what is being taught during the school day. If students spend 6-8 hours engaging in academic studies, then there is little to no need for homework. The key has to be utilizing classroom time effectively and making sure students are learning during this time. My own personal academic experience, going to a small private school, the classroom time was used effective, using every second they had with students for learning. So homework was not necessarily a must but we were given homework to constantly refresh our minds on the topic being taught that day. If a classroom is not effectively using time, homework may be the only way for a student to grasp the learning concepts. If classroom instructions can be improved then homework may not be necessary, minus hands on projects such as powerpoints, presentations, projects, papers'. • What type of homework policy do you plan to use in your classroom? A homework policy I would follow would be to give students homework occasionally, depending on the topic and the difficulty level. If students are struggling to

First fluctuation measurements in the new confined plasma configuration of the TORPEX device
The basic plasma physics device TORPEX features some of the main ingredients of the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) of fusion devices, including gradients of density and magnetic field, as well as magnetic field curvature. A simple magnetized torus configuration (SMT) is produced using a small vertical magnetic field component superimposed to the main toroidal field, resulting in helical open magnetic field lines. A comprehensive study of electrostatic instabilities and turbulence in TORPEX plasmas has been performed in the last years. A new experimental set-up has been recently implemented on the TORPEX device to produce a poloidal magnetic field and a rotational transform. This set-up is based on an in-vessel toroidal copper wire of 1 cm of radius, suspended in the middle of the vacuum vessel of TORPEX by several horizontal and vertical supports. These supports can also be used to position the current carrying wire at different vertical positions up to the top of the chamber to recover the original SMT configuration. The wire is powered by an external power supply providing a maximum current of 1 kA during a flat-top of about 0.5s. A 0.2s dynamics for the ramp-up and the ramp-down phases is given by the power supply temporal response. The current flowing in the toroidal wire generates a poloidal magnetic field that leads to a rotational transform. In the resulting magnetic field lines configuration the characterization of the plasma turbulence and instabilities can be performed on both the core region of closed flux-surfaces and the SOL region of open field lines. A proper value of the vertical magnetic field is used to precisely define the geometry of closed/open field lines, with the vessel walls acting as a limiter. An overview of the new experimental set-up will be presented, together with the background plasma parameters and profile. We will discuss the first measurements of plasma fluctuations in the SOL and their spatio-temporal evolution. The more advanced magnetic configurations that are accessible with this new experimental set-up will also be presented.

Is Gelatin Halal? What about Bovine sources?
"Is gelatin Halal? What if it is from a bovine source but not slaughtered according to shari'ah"
Gelatin, as far as my research has shown,
does not go through a chemical or molecular change in which it is modified into another substance.
Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolysed form of collagen, without any chemical or molecular transformation. Basically the collagen of the animal is washed (with peptides and other substances added), and through this process the collagen is broken down and processed into another form, whether that be liquid or solid. There is no transformation that renders it into a totally different and separate substance.
Looking at Gelatin Sources
Based on this, you have to look at the source:
 1. Naturally, fish and vegetable sources are completely acceptable.
 2. Bovine sources (as well as any other animal with is Halal to eat) are acceptable
 - if that animal was slaughtered in a manner acceptable to the Shariah.
 - If the gelatin is from an animal slaughtered or killed incorrectly, then it is not permissible.
 3. If it is from Porcine sources, it is categorically forbidden.
and Allah knows best
updated 09/30/2012
To add a little more context, I thought I'd add this from the above linked Wikipedia article:
While there are many processes whereby collagen can be converted to gelatin, they all have several factors in common. The intermolecular and intramolecular bonds which stabilize insoluble collagen rendering it insoluble must be broken, and the hydrogen bonds which stabilize the collagen helix must also be broken The manufacturing process consists of three main stages:

Cisco SDA Part VII - multi-instance LISP
We're slowly getting closer to the true implementation of LISP in Cisco's SD-Access. LISP has the capability of being VRF-aware - this is achieved via multi-instance LISP.
The idea is fairly simple - you have multiple instances of LISP (mapped to corresponding VRFs) - all your LISP tables are now maintained per instance.
We will be using the following topology for this:
We have moved R1 and R5 into a VRF called 'TEST'. This is done by assigning the port facing R1 on xTR2 to this VRF:
Similar configuration is done on xTR4 as well. To make LISP VRF aware, you need to create instances of LISP and map the instance to a particular VRF. All your database mappings will now come under this instance-ID.
For this example, we will create an instance-ID of 100 and map the VRF 'TEST' to this instance-ID.
Similar configuration is done on xTR4 as well:
All of these database mappings will now be per instance-ID. They will no longer show up in the global LISP database.
From the MS/MR perspective, we simply map the instance-IDs to the EIDs within the sites:
From this point on, the control-plane and data-plane packet walks are the same - the only difference is that the lookups happen against the specific instance-IDs that are defined. Let's consider both possible scenarios in our above topology.
If the packet comes from R1, it comes in the VRF called TEST. This can be visualized like so:
If the packet comes from R8, it comes in another VRF we created called TEST_2. This can be visualized like so:
How does the LISP process know which instance-ID to consider? This is populated in the LISP packets themselves. For example, consider the following 'Encapsulated Map Request' packet:
The LISP packet format has the provision to carry the instance-ID as an attribute within the source EID (as you can see from the above packet). This determines which instance-ID the lookups are done in.
The same instance-ID is carried in actual data-plane packets as well. Consider the following ICMP packet as an example:
This is the truest form of LISP implementation in SDA and this is exactly how SDA achieves macro segmentation. The terminology is 'Virtual Network' or VN in the SDA world however this is nothing but VRFs.

Paraglacial slope instability in Scottish fjords : examples from Little Loch Broom, NW Scotland
Stoker, Martyn S.; Wilson, Charles R.; Howe, John A.; Bradwell, Tom; Long, David. 2010 Paraglacial slope instability in Scottish fjords : examples from Little Loch Broom, NW Scotland. In: Howe, J.A.; Austin, W.E.N.; Forwick, M.; Paetzel, M., (eds.) Fjord systems and archives. London, UK, Geological Society of London, 225-242. (Geological Society Special Publication, 344).Before downloading, please read NORA policies.
Lateglacial–Holocene fjord sediments in Little Loch Broom preserve evidence of extensive slope instability. The major area of reworking is in the outer loch and mid-loch sill region where ice-contact/ice-proximal deposits of the Lateglacial Assynt Glacigenic Formation have been disrupted by sliding and mass flow processes linked to the Little Loch Broom Slide Complex and the adjacent Badcaul Slide. Mass failure was instigated about14–13 ka BP, and is probably the response of the landscape to deglaciation immediately following the removal of ice support during glacial retreat. An initial phase of translational sliding was followed by rotational sliding, as revealed by the superimposition of scalloped-shaped slumps on a larger-scale rectilinear pattern of failure. Paraglacial landscape readjustment may have also been enhanced by episodic seismic activity linked to glacio-isostatic unloading. In the inner fjord, evidence of Holocene mass failure includes the Ardessie debris lobe and a discrete intact slide block preserved within the postglacial basinal deposits. The former is a localised accumulation linked to a fluvial catchment on the adjacent An Teallach massif. These mass transport deposits may represent an ongoing response to paraglacial processes, albeit much reduced (relative to the major slides) in terms of sediment supply to the fjord.

What are some tertiary consumers in the deciduous forest?
Coyotes, black bears, eagles and owls are the tertiary predators in this ecosystem. Although black bears are quite large and will eat secondary consumers, large fish and primary consumers (like rabbits), they mostly forage for berries and vegetation.
What are some tertiary consumers in a forest ecosystem?
Higher up in the forest food web are tertiary consumers, the carnivores and omnivores that eat the animals on the secondary consumer level. An example of these animals would be owls. Above the tertiary consumers are the apex predators. These animals eat carnivores and omnivores but have no natural predators.
What are some tertiary consumers?
Examples of Tertiary Consumers
- Humans. Humans are largely omnivorous. ...
- Big Cats like Lions and Tigers. Lions, tigers, leopards and other big cats are classed as tertiary consumers. ...
- Polar Bear. ...
- Secretary Bird. ...
- Crocodiles. ...
- Pythons and Boas. ...
- Other Examples of Marine Tertiary Consumers.
What do tertiary consumers do?
A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers. Usually tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material.
What animals eat tertiary consumers?
Tertiary consumers: snakes, raccoons, foxes, fish. Quaternary consumers: wolves, sharks, coyotes, hawks, bobcats. Note: Many animals can occupy different trophic levels as their diet varies.
Are humans tertiary consumer?
Tertiary consumers, sometimes also known as apex predators, are usually at the top of food chains, capable of feeding on secondary consumers and primary consumers. Tertiary consumers can be either fully carnivorous or omnivorous. Humans are an example of a tertiary consumer.
Is a badger a tertiary consumer?
An example of a tertiary consumer is a black mamba (snake). The top (apex) predator (the "alpha", super or the top of top-level predators) are predators with no natural predators of their own , at the top. The top predator in the pyramid, is the BADASS honey badger.
Why do the tertiary consumers have the least energy?
Because there are losses in energy between levels, the population between levels also diminishes. With less energy, there are less creatures that can be supported by it, so the level with the least amount of creatures would be the tertiary consumers, while the level with the most organisms would the producers.
How much energy does a tertiary consumer get?
Tertiary consumers receive 10% of the energy available at the secondary level (0.
How much energy is transferred from primary consumer to secondary?
1 Answer. 10% is transferred by primary consumer but after heat loss net amount of energy received by secondary consumer is 1% .
How does removing several secondary consumers impact the entire ecosystem?
If secondary consumers are removed from an ecosystem, the primary consumers would benefit b/c they would not have any predators. This would be negative for the producers b/c the larger population of primary consumers would over eat the producers. ... Predators hunt and consume prey.
Do secondary consumers eat primary consumers?
Secondary consumers eat primary consumers. Many secondary consumers also eat plants, which makes them omnivores (meat and plant eaters). ... Tertiary consumers eat the secondary consumers and are usually carnivores (meat eaters).
What are primary secondary and tertiary consumers?
Primary consumers are those that consume the primary producers (plants). For example- rabbits consume grass. Secondary consumers are those that consume the primary consumers (herbivores). For example- Snakes that consumes rabbit. Tertiary consumers are those that eats the secondary consumers (large predators).

Introduction
When the data model of proteomics is relatively complex, such as the protein matrix data of multiple organs and tissues being analyzed together, the protein levels and types of various tissues or organs are quite different, and the conventional bioinformatics methods cannot effectively and efficiently identify the key proteins of each tissue. Here we can use the relatively new analysis methods in genomics, such as weighted gene co expression analysis, unsupervised deconvolution method, to solve this kind of analysis problem.
The weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) method, assuming that all kinds of proteins in the organism obey the basic assumption of scale-free network topology, is used to search for proteins or gene modules (A, B) that are co expressed based on the correlation algorithm, and explore the relationship between each module and each organ or organization (C), as well as the core protein or gene (D) in each module.

5. Source
5.1. Introduction
Queries are defined within a Project and retrieve their data from a Source. Query Builder needs to be configured with where the source can be located, and what the structure of that source is.
5.2. Limit, mask and deidentify
Queries that are in the process of being built will be sampled by the web interface. This sampling is subjected to limiting, masking and deidentification.
 - Limit defines how many rows are sought in the sample
 - If mask is True: a count distinct of each column is returned. This masks the output and in effect only shows the number of distinct rows returned.
 - If mask is False: return the limited sample columns, rewriting any with a deid action to 'deidentified'.
There are two important things to note here:
 1. The deidentify action is not applied in the sample, the columns to be deidentified are simply renamed to 'deidentified'. This ensures that only those identifiers that were delivered to the user in the final resultset are recorded in the deidentification server.
 2. The final resultset is subject to deidentification if any column is marked with a deid action. Limiting and masking are not applied for queries that are exported.
5.3. Settings
SOURCE
The database type, either psql for PostgreSQL or mssql for Microsoft SQL Server.
SOURCE_LIMIT
The maximum number of rows to be returned when running a limited query. This limited query is used to sample the output for a query as it is defined in the user interface.
SOURCE_MASK
A boolean switch that determines if during query construction the output of the query should be masked. If True returns only a count of distinct rows in the output of the query.
SOURCE_PROHIBIT_PII_FILTERS
A boolean switch that prohibits table attributes that are marked with a deid attribute (and are assumed personally identifyable information) to be used in default filter expressions. This restricts the possibility to use information contained in that attribute to formulate a filtering condition.
Note that these attributes are always allowed – regardless of this configuration setting – in dataset filter conditions (in dataset, not in dataset) to facilitate dataset joining.
SOURCE_WORLD
The world definition for the configured source. Should point to a yaml definition that specifies the structure of the schemas, tables, attributes and relationships in the source.
The (yaml) format is:
schemas:
 <schemaname>:
 tables:
 <tablename>:
 columns:
 - {name: <columnname>, type: <columntype>,
 [deid: pseudonymize],
 [identifies: population]}
 fk:
 <childschemaname>.<childtablename>:
 - [<columnname>, <childcolumnname>]
 keys: [<columnname>]
 - Multiple schemas, tables, columns, foreign keys, and keys are supported.
 - The source defines the columntypes, typically all default source columntypes are supported.
 - Per column a deid action can be defined. Only allowed action at this time is pseudonymize.
 - Each table column can contain a population statement that explains to the Query Builder what type of population is identified by this attribute. At query result calculation time, Query Builder will use these identity statements to determine the number of population members in the current query.
 - Foreign keys are registered at their target. So the table defining the key attribute gets to register child tables that point to it.
 - Multiple foreign keys with other child tables can be expressed by issueing multiple childtablename statements.
 - Multiple columns under one foreign key are considered compound foreign keys.
 - Global keys (think patient ids, instance ids) can be mentioned in the keys directive.
 - Global keys across different tables are matched by name.
World file is validated for internal consistancy on server startup. At an installation a first version can be generated using the Invoke inspect command.
SOURCE_SERVER
Source database hostname.
SOURCE_USERNAME
Source database username. The Query Builder source database account needs read-only access to the source schemas as defined in the SOURCE_WORLD.
SOURCE_PASSWORD
Source database password.
SOURCE_DATABASE
Source database name.
