摘要
An integral part of video analysis and surveillance is temporal activity detection, which means to simultaneously recognize and localize activities in long untrimmed videos. Currently, the most effective methods of temporal activity detection are based on deep learning, and they typically perform very well with large scale annotated videos for training. However, these methods are limited in real applications due to the unavailable videos about certain activity classes and the time-consuming data annotation. To solve this challenging problem, we propose a novel task setting called zero-shot temporal activity detection (ZSTAD), where activities that have never been seen in training still need to be detected. We design an end-to-end deep transferable network TN-ZSTAD as the architecture for this solution. On the one hand, this network utilizes an activity graph transformer to predict a set of activity instances that appear in the video, rather than produces many activity proposals in advance. On the other hand, this network captures the common semantics of seen and unseen activities from their corresponding label embeddings, and it is optimized with an innovative loss function that considers the classification property on seen activities and the transfer property on unseen activities together. Experiments on the THUMOS'14, Charades, and ActivityNet datasets show promising performance in terms of detecting unseen activities.

Grain Corn Maturity and Yield Estimating
The grain corn crop in Manitoba should have completed the silking stage (R1) and moved on to the blister stage (R2), by now. Generally, the crop is behind "normal" for this time of year, but accumulated crop heat units are on par. It is safe to say that we can use some good rainfalls and high (but not too high) daily and overnight temperatures to move the crop along and enable the plant to fill grain in a timely manner. In 2019, the crop was wanting to start shutting down at this point and plants were very slow to fill grain completely before black layer.
Below is a quick review of the reproductive stages that Manitoba corn producers are currently working with:
Silking Stage (R1)
 - Silks are visible outside the husk
 - Silks are pollinated within 4 – 10 days after tassel emergence. Each silk is attached to an individual ovule, or potential kernel.
 - Pollen lands on a silk and germinates to produce pollen tube, which must grow down the entire length of the silk before fertilization can occur.
 - Good growing conditions are vital for successful silking and pollination.
Corn maturity 01
Figure 1. Corn at Silking Stage (R1)
Blister Stage (R2)
 - Kernels are white on the outside and resemble a blister in shape.
 - Starch is beginning to accumulate and the kernels are starting a period of rapid dry matter accumulation, lasting 30 – 40 days.
Corn maturity 02
Figure 2. Corn at Blistering Stage (R2)
Milk Stage (R3)
 - Kernels are yellow in colour and inner fluid is milky white, due to starch accumulation.
 - Grain filling and dry matter accumulation is still occurring at a rapid rate.
 - Kernel moisture is about 80%.
Corn maturity 03
Figure 3: Measurements for each reproductive stage of corn development and how a killing frost would affect yield at that stage.
Producers and agronomists should be assessing each grain corn field now for yield estimates. Now that pollination is complete, we have an excellent idea of how many kernels have been pollinated, and it looks like this year we did have great pollination, filling cobs to the tip.
The following is taken from Dr. R.L. (Bob) Nielsen on estimating corn grain yield prior to harvest. Dr. Nielsen has some excellent articles on corn production that are worth looking into. (
 1. At each estimation site, measure off a length of a single row equal to 1/1000th acre. For 30-inch (2.5 feet) rows, this equals 17.4 linear feet.
 TIP: For other row spacings, divide 43,560 by the row spacing (in feet) and then divide that result by 1000 (e.g., [43,560 / 2.5] / 1000 = 17.4 ft).
Corn maturity 04
Figure 4. Row length required to measure 1/1000th acre in various row widths – Ontario Grain Farmer (
 1. Count and record the number of ears on the plants in the 1/1000th acre of row that you deem to be harvestable.
 TIP: Do not count dropped ears or those on severely lodged plants unless you are confident that the combine header will be able to retrieve them.
 2. For every 5th ear in the sample row, record the number of complete kernel rows per ear and average number of kernels per row. Then multiply each ear's row number by its number of kernels per row to calculate the total number of kernels for each ear.
 TIPS: Do not sample nubbins or obviously odd ears, unless they fairly represent the sample area. If row number changes from butt to tip (e.g., pinched ears due to stress), estimate an average row number for the ear. Don't count the extreme butt or tip kernels, but rather begin and end where you perceive there are complete "rings" of kernels around the cob. Do not count aborted kernels. If kernel numbers per row are uneven among the rows of an ear, estimate an average value for kernel number per row.
 3. Calculate the average number of kernels per ear by summing the values for all the sampled ears and dividing by the number of ears.
 EXAMPLE: For five sample ears with 480, 500, 450, 600, and 525 kernels per ear, the average number of kernels per ear would equal:
 (480 + 500 + 450 + 600 + 525) divided by 5 = 511
 4. Estimate the yield for each site by multiplying the ear number (Step 2) by the average number of kernels per ear (Step 4) and then dividing that result by a kernel weight "fudge factor". Unless your seed company can provide some insight into kernel weight values for their hybrids, I suggest simply performing separate calculations using "fudge factor" kernel weight values equal to 75, 85, and 95. This range of values probably represents that most commonly experienced in the central Corn Belt.
Corn maturity 05
Figure 5. Grain corn yield estimate formula – Iowa State University (
Example: Let's say you counted 30 harvestable ears at the first thousandth-acre sampling site. Let's also assume that the average number of kernels per ear, based on sampling every 5th ear in the sampling row, was 511. Using "fudge factor" values of 75, 85, and 95; the estimated range in yield for that sampled site would (30 x 511) divided by 75 = 204, or divided by 85 = 180, or divided by 95 = 161 bushels per acre.
Repeat the procedure throughout field as many times as you deem representative. Tally and average the results separately for each "fudge factor" used for the calculations.
Remember that this year we have very uneven uniformity in most corn fields, which will influence the accuracy of any yield estimation technique. The less uniform the field, the greater the number of samples that should be taken to estimate yield for the field.

Uses of water testing-agro farm
People used to put a lot of efforts on growing the crops with proper irrigation. Agriculture field in all cases requires a huge amount of water facility to grow the crops in a good phase. Though everyone knows the importance of water facility and the WasteWater Management for the different types of agricultural purposes, no one cares about the necessity to use the quality water in their farmland. There is a list of parameters structured by Agro Farm Management experts is available for the farmland owners to check before using the specific water for their crops during the cultivation. Reading all the guidelines will surely help the farm owners to cultivate the farmland in a much better way with good yield in the crop level.
Need for Water Testing
You may not know the real importance of Water testing Laboratories in Dubai, but these institutes have made many serious and positive impacts on the running agricultural and farm companies. These organizations provide the proper testing results to let you know about the suitability of using the quality water.
· Small aquatic organisms in the water can be sustained only with the proper pH level in the water bodies around the farm area and these Water testing Laboratories in Dubai helps you in providing the better idea about the resources.
· Institutes doing the Diagnostic and Analysis in Dubai for the water will help you know the fitness of water to use it for the irrigation purposes which is an essential one for the agro farm.
· Many experts know the importance of pond fertilization or alum treatment. Expert submits testing reports to the clients in the most efficient way.
· Suitability of the water to be used beneath the container-grown plants is tested in the water testing laboratory with the latest techniques and equipment in the Lab.
How useful is the checklist in the lab expert hand?
All the Consultancy Services for Food will maintain a checklist in their hand before going for the inspection in the water affected area. This checklist will give themselves a better idea where to start and how to finish the testing procedures without any unwanted confusion. Test results and the advice from the water testing experts will bring huge benefit to the farm owners.
Things you can find and sort out with this testing
By hiring an experienced Food and Water Diagnostic and Analysis in Dubai, you can enhance the farmland. Problems in the farmland cannot be visible to the naked eye those defects can be tested and rectified with the help of Agro Farm Management specialists.
· Salinity in the Water
High-level of salt accumulates around the root zone of the crops affects the crop yield and productivity. Salinity nature makes the crop ineffective of extracting the adequate amount of water from the ground level. Water testing team can help the farm owners identify the salinity at the early level to guide them in the right way with the possible solution for this.
· Infiltration and Miscellaneous effects
With Infiltration, plants subjected to severe trouble during the irrigation period. Possible testing at the initial stage can help you avoid seed rotting, failure of the nutritional level of the plants and much more.
The Miscellaneous effect on the crops is due to the increased level of nitrogen content in the water causing the plant's growth results in immature growth. If you have such low-quality water in your area, through proper Waste WaterManagement, you need to drain all the water as this type of water can cause deadly diseases like malaria, dengue in your living area.
Several ions present in the water affect the sensitive crops to a greater extent and cause severe effect throughout their growth. Sometimes you will be pushed to test your food with the Consultancy Services for Food because of the toxic nature affecting the plants and its fruits.

text: In this study, the effects of gamma-ray and neutron radiation on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at different doses were investigated. The samples in powder form were exposed to thermal neutrons, fast neutrons, and 10 kGy and 20 kGy doses of gamma-ray radiation. Virgin and irradiated MWCNTs were investigated through structural, optical, morphological, and chemical analysis by Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the damage produced by the radiation. The Raman spectroscopy measurements show that the I-D/I-G ratio increased with the irradiation except for the 10 kGy gamma rays. XPS measurements display a higher degree of oxygen incorporation with the neutron irradiation. Detailed analysis of the Cls spectra also shows lower percentages of C=C sp(2) and higher percentages of C-C sp(3) in the MWCNTs irradiated by neutrons. Dark black spots were observed in the MWCNTs by irradiation, which is attributed to the formation of an amorphous structure by TEM measurements. The results show that, overall, the 10 kGy gamma irradiation dose improves the structural quality while the 20 kGy dose gamma rays, fast, and thermal neutrons caused a decrease in the degree of the structural quality of the MWCNTs.

James Rosenquist got his start as a billboard painter in the late 1950s. His transition into the world of Pop Art was inspired by the advertising imagery that he worked with on a daily basis. His collage-like painting style juxtaposed varied and appropriated imagery in purposeful ways.
Contemporary artist, Jeff Koons, uses some similar stylistic choices to present his ideas. His imagery is also appropriated and is collaged digitally before being enlarged dramatically and replicated in photorealistic detail by a crew of painters. This new take on Pop Art is known as Neo-Pop.
Art II students were introduced to both artists - and many others - and were charged with creating a painting that was:
1. Based on a well-composed collage of appropriated and juxtaposed imagery
2. Informed by historical/social content
3. Inclusive of photorealistic and other painting styles
4. Supported by an artist statement, which summarizes their intent and aids the viewer's understanding of their work

"A Finite Length Bearing Correction Factor for Short Bearing Theory,"
A rapid method for calculating the general nonlinear response of finite-length plain journal and squeeze film damper bearings is presented. The method incorporates a finite length correction factor which modifies the nonlinear forces obtained from short bearing theory. The steady-state rotational, precessive squeeze, and radial squeeze forces obtained with the correction factor compare extremely well with the forces obtained from an analytic solution of Reynolds equation using a variational approach up to L/D of 1.25 and hence covers the most commonly encountered L/D ratios. The method is no more time consuming than the short bearing analysis and is especially suited to nonlinear transient analysis of flexible rotors.

Research on Thermal Comfort of Crystal Sandstone Light Ceramics
The thermal properties of the crystal sandstone light ceramic products, nature sandstones, tiles and composite floorboards were analyzed and compared in detail by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermal simulation method. The results show that the different thermal properties are the main factors which lead to the different thermal comfort to these materials. It is analyzed in theory that the good thermal comforts of the crystal sandstone light ceramics are come from the low thermal conductivity and low density mainly. And the thermal simulation is a reference method on the thermal comfort research of architectural ceramics.

LOS ANGELES – Parents in Palmdale, Calif., are outraged about a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that says they have no constitutional right to prevent public schools from providing information on sex to their children.
Twenty-five students at a Palmdale elementary school were given a survey that included questions like, "How often do you think about sex," and "Do you think about touching other people's private parts?" The parents sued, saying that the contents of the survey were inappropriate for their children.
Click in the video box to watch a report by FOX News' Trace Gallagher.
The 9th Circuit ruled that "parents are possessed of no constitutional right to prevent the public schools from providing information on sex to their students in any forum or manner they select."
And the court agreed with the school district that it was a matter of state, not federal law. Under California education law, parents have the right to opt their children out of learning material that they aren't comfortable with.
Parents say they couldn't opt their kids out of the survey, because they were told that their kids would be taking a survey about childhood trauma, not sex. The school has since apologized, but the parents have said that the issue has gone beyond a local mistake.
"Parents have no liberties, no rights over their children, and the schools can teach anything to their children. So apparently for this court, condoms for kindergarten students are okay, pornography is permissible — parents cannot object," said Mathew Staver, an attorney for the parents.
The 9th Circuit is no stranger to controversy. Steven Reinhardt, the judge who wrote the opinion for the Palmdale case, also authored a finding that said the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional.
The Palmdale case, like the Pledge of Allegiance case before it, is likely to head to the Supreme Court, and the publicity has many lawmakers already promising to take action.


An Explicitly Relational Neural Network Architecture
Abstract
With a view to bridging the gap between deep learning and symbolic AI, we present a novel end-to-end neural network architecture that learns to form propositional representations with an explicitly relational structure from raw pixel data. In order to evaluate and analyse the architecture, we introduce a family of simple visual relational reasoning tasks of varying complexity. We show that the proposed architecture, when pre-trained on a curriculum of such tasks, learns to generate reusable representations that better facilitate subsequent learning on previously unseen tasks when compared to a number of baseline architectures. The workings of a successfully trained model are visualised to shed some light on how the architecture functions.

We investigate social and political processes and practices that have shaped and transformed public spaces of remembrance in Vienna during the last two decades. The investigation's thematic focus is on symbolic representations of political violence during the time of Austro-Fascism and National Socialism.
The transformation of public spaces triggered by politics of remembrance can be understood as contested political terrain. This terrain provides space for identity formation as well as for symbolic politics such as the politics of regret. Manifestations of the politics of remembrance in public spaces thus provide information about social and political relationships of power. And ultimately, this is also a matter of negotiating control over the design and use of the public sphere. The dramatic increase in the number of visible signs of collective commemoration calls for explanation. The emergence and development of a specific policy area, the decision-making process, as well as the perception and use of monuments, signs and sites of remembrance and other commemorative interventions are subjects to be investigated.
Our research will tackle the following questions: Who are the protagonists of politics of the past in Vienna? How is it shaped and regulated? What meanings are ascribed to practices of remembrance? Which interpretation frames and narrative structures characterize the „memory boom" in Vienna? Which changes to the form and usage of the public sphere are ascertainable?
The research design foresees an interdisciplinary mix of methods to be applied along three research axes:
1. Investigation of the ways historical commemoration projects are proposed and negotiated, and the decision-making processes regarding their implementation with emphasis on mnemonic actors (network analysis of the policy area)
2. Analysis of the significance ascribed to politics of remembrance on the municipal, national and transnational level (discourse analysis of the politics of history)
3. Finally, the analysis of public places as spaces of remembrance in the area of tension and interplay between politics of history and everyday use and perception (socio-spatial analysis).

What Marine Engineers and Naval Architects Do
Marine engineers and naval architects design, build, and maintain ships from aircraft carriers to submarines, from sailboats to tankers. Marine engineers work on the mechanical systems, such as propulsion and steering. Naval architects work on the basic design, including the form and stability of hulls.
Marine engineers typically do the following:
- Prepare system layouts and detailed drawings and schematics
- Inspect marine equipment and machinery to draw up work requests and job specifications
- Conduct environmental, operational, or performance tests on marine machinery and equipment
- Design and oversee testing, installation, and repair of marine apparatus and equipment
- Investigate and observe tests on machinery and equipment for compliance with standards
- Coordinate activities with regulatory bodies to ensure that repairs and alterations are done safely and at minimal cost
- Prepare technical reports for use by engineers, managers, or sales personnel
- Prepare cost estimates, schedules for design and construction, and contract specifications
- Maintain contact with contractors to be sure the work is being done correctly, on schedule, and within budget
The people who operate or supervise the operation of the machinery on a ship are sometimes called marine engineers, or, more frequently, ship engineers. Their work differs from that of the marine engineers in this profile. For more information on ship engineers, see the profile on water transportation occupations.
Marine engineers are increasingly putting their knowledge to work in power generation. Companies that formerly concentrated on other activities, such as papermaking, are now increasing their efforts to produce and sell electricity back to the power grid. These engineers' skills are also useful in the oil and gas industry, including offshore drilling operations.
Naval architects typically do the following:
- Study design proposals and specifications to establish basic characteristics of a ship, such as size, weight, and speed
- Develop sectional and waterline curves of the hull to establish the center of gravity, ideal hull form, and data on buoyancy and stability
- Design entire ship hulls and superstructures, following safety standards
- Design the layout of ships' interiors, including passenger compartments, cargo space, ladder wells, and elevators
- Confer with marine engineers to set up the layout of boiler room equipment, heating and ventilation systems, refrigeration equipment, and propulsion machinery
- Lead teams from a variety of specialties to oversee building and testing prototypes
- Evaluate how the ship does during trials both at the dock and at sea and change the design as needed to make sure the ship meets national and international standards.

The Province of the Queen Charlotte Islands (Russian: Королевско-Шарлоттская губерния, Korolevsko-Sharlottskaya guberniya), colloquially known as the Queen Charlotte Islands (Острова Королевы Шарлотты, Ostrova Korolevy Sharlotty), and affectionately known as the Charlottes (Шарлотты, Sharlotty); is one of the 18 governorates of Alaska. The insular governorate is located roughly 100 kilometers off the coast of New Caledonia.
Prior to contact with Europeans, the islands were dominated by the Haida people. Though the islands were claimed by several powers, it was the United Kingdom which was able to secure the islands (which named them after the reigning Queen). The discovery of gold in the 1850s further prompted the British colonization and fortification of the islands, which were later solidified following Russia's defeat in the Crimean War. Despite these early successes, the Russian Empire would acquire the colony as part of the Columbia Purchase of 1871 (along with Columbia and Vancouver Island).
As with the rest of the former British colonies, the Queen Charlotte Islands retained much of their original English population under Russian rule. During the Alaskan Wars of the early 20th Century, the islands came under the control of the Doug-controlled Commonwealth of Columbia (with the full backing of the islands' citizens). Despite Columbia's admission into the Alaskan Democratic Federative Republic in 1935, it wouldn't be until the 1940s that the islands were formally organized into their own governorate.
The majority of the governorate's population is comprised of those of English and Haida descent. Those of Finnish, Norwegian, Russian, Scottish, and Swedish ancestry currently form the largest minority groups. Christians make up the majority of the population, with Protestants making up the largest group. Along with Columbia and Vancouver Island, the Queen Charlotte Islands officially recognizes two languages: English and Russian. Most of the population is bilingual, though Russian has seen a steady rise over the past few decades. Politically, the Movement for Peace and Freedom (the main center-left political party) has noted support among the Charlotteans.

GEO-CRADLE Partner i-Bec participation at the Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon, 21-23/03/2017, Rome
Over 450 participants among which scientists and practitioners working in related fields, from 111 countries and all geographical regions gathered together for the Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon, held from 21 to 23 March 2017 at FAO headquarters in Rome. They were actively involved in both presenting results of studies demonstrating the potential and challenges of managing SOC in different types of soil – such as peatland, black soils and permafrost soils, grasslands and livestock production system and dryland soils – as well as discussing and developing key messages. A participatory and reciprocal process of communicating scientific results, refining research questions, identifying knowledge gaps and defies/(delate) challenges for implementation were nurtured by integrating a broad range of relevant stakeholders. The meeting highlighted the multiple benefits related to maintenance and increase of SOC stocks such as food security and nutrition, poverty reduction, climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as achieving Land Degradation Neutrality and the Sustainable Development Goals.


Am I allowed to add multiple TXT records for a single domain?
I've been asked to add a load of MS= records to domains, but some of the domains already have a TXT record.
Can I just add a new TXT record with the value or should I append it to the existing data?
Multiple TXT DNS records are perfectly acceptable. In fact, I think one of my domains has about 6 of them. If you append it to the end of another TXT record, it is likely to stop that one performing it's correct function.
In Amazon's DNS tool, Route53, if you're trying to create multiple TXT values that share the same name, you should surround each value in quotes and separate by a carriage return.
From the Route53 docs:

Saudi Arabia introduced the conocarpus erectus tree, native to Australia, for reasons of landscaping and to increase oxygen levels in their balanced equation seeing how it tolerates the saline water. But did it work?
What we need to keep I mind is that nature is the one that set this balanced equation, and the intelligent elements are the work of nature itself. So the introduction of new elements is never beneficial. It might give the desired results but always fires back and disturbs the balance.
The Salt cedar did in fact prevent corrosion but in turn killed and eliminated the cottonwood trees and the willow trees. Conocarpus erectus stayed green all year round and increased levels of oxygen in the atmosphere, but in turn killed all the surrounding plants and destroyed structures in pursuit of water. These trees in turn created an ecological threat to the balanced environment. The department of housing in King Fahad university of Petroleum and Minerals issued a statement of no responsibility of cornocarpus erectus planted in the campus due to the vast damage it causes.
The work provided was to show how introducing foreign elements into our ecosystem, although beneficial, is not vital to the cause. Using indigenous elements has the same effect and doesn't in turn threaten the ecosystem.

The population pyramid for Mexico in 2010 is shown below:
What does this pyramid tell us about Mexico's population and possible future trends?
The number of babies born during the last 20 years has been more or less equal for each 5-year period. This is despite a higher number of females in the age-bearing categories (15-45). These two statements, taken together, must imply that both birth rates (number of births/1,000 people) and fertility rates (number of children per female of child-bearing age) have fallen and continue to fall.
There are numerous implications for a population with a declining number of babies. Perhaps the most obvious is that fewer school places will be required in ten years time than are currently needed. In Mexico's case, it is unlikely that school buildings will be closed (at least not in the short to mid-term) since many government-run schools currently house two independent school populations, one attending classes every morning, and the other attending classes in the afternoons.
The decline in babies also means that the average age of Mexico's population continues to rise. The median age of Mexico's 112.3 million inhabitants is now 26 years (i.e. half the population is older than 26 years, the other half is 26 years or younger).
Several chapters of Geo-Mexico: the geography and dynamics of modern Mexico discuss additional insights into Mexico's population dynamics and trends, and their implications for future development. An earlier post here includes a link to a pdf file showing Mexico's population pyramid in 1990, and the predicted pyramid for 2050. The 2050 pyramid shows just how fast Mexico's population will age if present trends continue.

|Possible Values:||none | left | right | both
|Applies to:||All elements
The clear property specifies if an element allows floating elements to its sides. A value of left moves the element below any floating element on its left; right acts similarly for floating elements on the right. Other values are none, which is the initial value, and both, which moves the element below floating elements on both of its sides. This property is similar in function to HTML 3.2's , but it can be applied to all elements.

Q: How to avoid problems with include files?
A: If you declare a class in your code the compiler normally needs to know some information about the used class like e.g. size. But if you just uses a pointer or a reference, the compiler doesn't need to know those information at that point since pointers or references are always the same size (4 bytes on a windows system). So you just need to tell the compiler that there will be a class - in this case called 'CSomeClass' - which will be used later by that declared pointer or reference. In this case you can use the so-called 'forward declaration'...
In this example you would need to provide the complete definition of'some_class' since 'foo' will create one instance of it. Therefore the compiler needs to know the exact size of the class and how it looks like...
In this case you only have a pointer to'some_class'. Since the size of a pointer is independent from the size of the object it is pointing to the compiler just needs to know that there is somewhere a class named'some_class' is defined...
Most of the time forward declarations are used to prevent circular includes. Consider this
In this case you will end up with circular includes. While compiling the 'one.hpp' header file the header file 'two.hpp' will be included. While compiling 'two.hpp' header file the 'one.hpp' will be included. While compiling...
This will give problems even if you use inclusion guards like
Therefore it is not necessarely a good idea to include all the needed header files within your header file. Using forward declarations will avoid those circular includes...for additional information about the whole subject take a look at the following FAQ...

Previous research has shown the potential for a thrust augmenting ejector to be used as an alternative to the swivel nozzle for short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) aircrafts. Previous designs for integrating a thrust augmenting ejector failed to make the transition from hovering to wing-borne flight and back to hovering or were not fully tested. Therefore, the two main objectives of this research are: (1) to obtain a numerical solution for the performance of a thrust augmenting ejector in transition and (2) to verify if an ejector with enough thrust could be integrated into the wing and enable the aircraft to go through transition from hovering to wing-borne flight and back to hovering. The numerical solution for the ejector's performance was obtained by running multiple CFD simulations in ANSYS FLUENT for different speeds and ejector deflection angles. Our research demonstrated that the performance of an ejector wing registered an augmented thrust increase of up to 25 percent lower speeds than Mach 0.25. Similarly, the ejector performed well during transition at take-off and landing speeds; therefore, the feasibility of a thrust augmenting ejector proving to be an improvement to the swivel nozzle for Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing aircraft is high.

FORT MCDERMITT SHOSHONE PAIUTE TRIBE AND USDA FOREST SERVICE TO BEGIN 2ND COOPERATIVE DOMESTIC HORSE REMOVAL
The Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe and Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest will begin to remove tribal members' privately-owned horses from the Santa Rose Ranger District and return them to their rightful owners. This is the second in a series of operations and could take up to eight days with at least 800 horses expected to be removed.
"Over the past 30 years, the number of unauthorized tribally-owned horses grazing on tribal and public lands increased to more than 2,500 horses," said Santa Rosa District Ranger Joe Garrotto. "These horses are competing for forage with native wildlife and authorized livestock, overgrazing, harming ecosystems, and damaging fences and stock-watering facilities."
Tribal Chairman Tildon Smart agrees with the Forest Service about these horses being a major concern. "They are causing safety issues for people driving on public and tribal lands and on U.S. Route 95," Chairman Smart said. "They are also damaging important tribal natural and cultural resources."
The removal operations will take place about 75 miles north of Winnemucca, Nevada, on the northern portion of the Santa Rosa Ranger District and adjacent tribal lands. The horses being removed from federally-managed public lands are tribally-owned domestic horses, and are not protected under the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. Safeguards have been built into the removal operations plan to ensure that wild horses from the Bureau of Land Management's Little Owyhee Herd Management Area are not impacted. No wild horses were gathered in a previous removal efforts.
"The Forest Service will retain control of gathered horses until they are delivered to the tribal holding facility, where they will be inspected by a team of Tribal and Nevada State Brand Inspectors and Forest Service Wild Horse Specialists," said Garrotto. "Forest Service personnel will also be on hand to record the ownership of horses to help with future management."
Chairman Smart explained that once the horses are removed from federally-managed public lands, tribal members will decide whether to sell or keep their horses and constrain them from further unauthorized grazing. The Tribe is responsible for returning the horses to their owners or arrangement of sale.
"With the help of the Forest Service, we were able to remove more than 500 horses off National Forest System land in December 2018," added Chairman Smart. "After a recent helicopter survey, we estimate that there are still around 2,000 tribal horses that need to be removed."
Public viewing is extremely limited since most of the activities will occur on tribal lands. There will be opportunities to view limited helicopter operations on National Forest System (NFS) lands on or around Aug. 7, 2019 provided that it does not jeopardize the safety of the animals, staff or observers, and that it does not disrupt removal operations. There will be no public access to tribal lands
Please contact Public Affairs Staff Officer Erica Hupp at _PHONE_ prior to the desired viewing date to be added to the attendee list and to receive specific instructions on meeting locations and times. The Forest Service will escort the public to the observation site, which will be difficult to access without a high-clearance four wheel drive vehicle.
The Navajo Nation has canceled a planned wild horse hunt aimed at thinning a herd in an Arizona area after opponents of the hunt organized a protest against it.
The tribe's Division of Natural Resources rescinded on Monday a proclamation declaring the 2018 feral horse management hunt designed to remove 60 horses from the Carrizo Mountains in northeastern Arizona, according to a notice on the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife's website.
Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye said in a statement that the hunt will be postponed and the proclamation was rescinded to allow for public input and education, the Farmington Daily Times reported .
There are more than 38,000 feral horses on Navajo Nation land, according to a 2016 study conducted by the Navajo Fish and Wildlife Department. Horse advocates, including members of the Facebook group Indigenous Horse Nation Protector Alliance, organized a rally for Friday in Window Rock, Arizona, to protest the hunt.
Gloria Tom, the director of Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife, said the public outcry led to the cancellation.
Navajo Nation Speaker LoRenzo Bates said in a statement that his office was not aware that the executive branch had made a decision to issue permits for hunting feral horses.
"As Navajo people, we are taught to respect all life forms and that includes horses," Bates said. "Considering the cultural and historical factors and concerns over water shortages and overgrazing — this is certainly an issue that should have been brought before Navajo leadership and medicine people to discuss and consider."
If the hunt had not been rescinded, hunters accompanied by wildlife conservation officers would have been able to kill non-branded horses that were at least two years old. Hunters would have been prohibited from killing mares with foals.
The proclamation called for removing up to 60 horses over a six-day period.
Begaye urged Navajo chapters to pass resolutions to address feral horse management in their regions. Begaye said the division of natural resources will put in place a horse management strategy.
"Implementation of this plan is required to ensure a sustainable future while preserving the land and natural resources that sustain Navajo tradition and culture," Begaye said.

A synopsis of a presentation to veterinarians during The American Mustang session at the 2014 American Association of Equine Practitioners Convention, held Dec. 6-10 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Feral tribal horses walk the streets within the Navajo Nation. They're outside restaurants. In people's yards. There are just too many horses, and the Navajo government is working to change that. It started in 2013 with community roundups and a veterinary management program.
Scott Bender, DVM, works as tribal veterinarian with the Navajo Nation Veterinary Program and is a USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service consulting veterinarian. At the 2014 American Association of Equine Practitioners Convention, held Dec. 6-10 in Salt Lake City, Utah, Bender shared the challenges faced when managing feral horses within the Navajo Nation and results of tribal equine population management efforts.
The Navajo Nation is located in the southwestern United States, with territory spanning Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. The reservation comprises 18 million acres and, said Bender, an estimated 75,000 to 96,000 horses.
The tribe permits 12,000 livestock owners, with the majority of permit holders having one to five privately owned horses.
Under tribal law, all unbranded horses within the Navajo Nation are tribal property, Bender explained. That leaves the tribe with a lot of horses.
The Navajo traditionally view horses as sport, working, and food animals. "The horse is sacred to the Navajo, but that doesn't mean we don't eat them," Bender explained. The Navajo believe horsemeat has medicinal, healing properties and is useful as a "winter" meat, he said, explaining that "horsemeat, by tradition, can only be eaten in the winter between October and April—end of thunder and not after 'first thunder.'"
Initially and into the early 20th Century, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs managed tribal livestock, but management has slowly transitioned to the sovereign nation government, Bender said. This happened partly because of U.S. government-approved reduction of livestock in the 1930s and the euthanasia and burial of more than 500 horses by federal authorizes following a dourine outbreak at the Canyon de Chelly National Monument, which is located in northeastern Arizona within the Navajo Nation boundaries. "This 'waste of resources' has left a negative indelible mark on the attitude of Navajo livestock owners toward the U.S. government," Bender said.
To the Navajo, unused horsemeat is a wasted resource that the creator gave the people, he clarified.
With this in mind, surplus Navajo horses had historically been sold off-reservation to slaughter as a way to manage populations and produce income. When U.S. equine slaughter plants closed in 2007, the tribal horses lost 95% of their value and the surplus feral horses were left to breed without human controls, Bender said. "The current (tribal) horse issue is a direct result of the elimination of an outlet for surplus horses," he added.
As herds grew, damage to rangelands increased, as did horse-caused human injuries. "Horses in right-of-ways caused car wrecks, human injuries, and even deaths," Bender said. These issues led tribal communities to request that the Navajo National Department of Agriculture start its equine population management program in 2013, which involved roundups and veterinary services, including free:
While the initial fertility vaccination was effective, Bender described owner booster rates of horses as "dismal," despite the program's outreach and communications efforts promoting boosters. The program's leadership is now investigating anti-gonadotropin-releasing hormone vaccine (know more commonly as anti-GnRH or GonaCon) use as a longer-activing and single-dose alternative to PZP.
In 2013 the Navajo Nation local communities, with the help of the Navajo Nation Departments of Agriculture and Resource Enforcement, rounded up more than 8,900 horses. Permitted owners claimed approximately 250 horses, with the tribe selling the rest with the requirement that they could not be returned to the Navajo Nation.
The veterinary program's goal was to castrate 1,000 male horses and vaccinate 1,500 mares against fertility by the end of 2014. To date, more than 700 horses have been castrated or vaccinated with PZP


Answered question
How does the monitoring work with NeoLoad? Is it done by the controller or the load generators?
I need to install load generators on my network but I need to understand if the monitoring part will be done by them or the controller.
NeoLoad is able to monitor your infrastructure during a load test. By default, the monitoring is done by the controller itself using an embedded agent.
You can also install remote monitoring agent on different computers to workaround firewall constraints. You can configure your monitor using a monitoring agent like usual using the controller one.

For more information, see "Monitoring agent" section in NeoLoad documentation.

load size limit than is advertised by the server on this endpoint.
Rate-limited:Yes.
Requires auth:Yes.
Request format:
No parameters
Response format:
Parameter Type Description
m.upload.size integer The maximum size an upload can be in bytes. Clients SHOULD use this as a guide when uploading content. If not listed or null, the size limit should be treated as unknown.
Example request:
GET /_matrix/media/r0/config HTTP/1.1
Responses:
Status code 200:
The public content repository configuration for the matrix server.
Example
{
 "m.upload.size": 50000000
}
Status code 429:
This request was rate-limited.
Example
{
 "errcode": "M_UNKNOWN",
 "error": "An unknown error occurred"
}
13.8.2.7 Thumbnails
The homeserver SHOULD be able to supply thumbnails for uploaded images and videos. The exact file types which can be thumbnailed are not currently specified - see Issue #1938 for more information.
The thumbnail methods are "crop" and "scale". "scale" tries to return an image where either the width or the height is smaller than the requested size. The client should then scale and letterbox the image if it needs to fit within a given rectangle. "crop" tries to return an image where the width and height are close to the requested size and the aspect matches the requested size. The client should scale the image if it needs to fit within a given rectangle.
The dimensions given to the thumbnail API are the minimum size the client would prefer. Servers must never return thumbnails smaller than the client's requested dimensions, unless the content being thumbnailed is smaller than the dimensions. When the content is smaller than the requested dimensions, servers should return the original content rather than thumbnail it.
Servers SHOULD produce thumbnails with the following dimensions and methods:
 - 32x32, crop
 - 96x96, crop
 - 320x240, scale
 - 640x480, scale
 - 800x600, scale
In summary:
 - "scale" maintains the original aspect ratio of the image
 - "crop" provides an image in the aspect ratio of the sizes given in the request
 - The server will return an image larger than or equal to the dimensions requested where possible.
Servers MUST NOT upscale thumbnails under any circumstance. Servers MUST NOT return a smaller thumbnail than requested, unless the original content makes that impossible.
13.8.3 Security considerations
The HTTP GET endpoint does not require any authentication. Knowing the URL of the content is sufficient to retrieve the content, even if the entity isn't in the room.
MXC URIs are vulnerable to directory traversal attacks such as mxc://127.0.0.1/../../../some_service/etc/passwd. This would cause the target homeserver to try to access and return this file. As such, homeservers MUST sanitise MXC URIs by allowing only alphanumeric (A-Za-z0-9), _ and - characters in the server-name and media-id values. This set of whitelisted characters allows URL-safe base64 encodings specified in RFC 4648. Applying this character whitelist is preferable to blacklisting . and / as there are techniques around blacklisted characters (percent-encoded characters, UTF-8 encoded traversals, etc).
Homeservers have additional content-specific concerns:
 - Clients may try to upload very large files. Homeservers should not store files that are too large and should not serve them to clients, returning a HTTP 413 error with the M_TOO_LARGE code.
 - Clients may try to upload very large images. Homeservers should not attempt to generate thumbnails for images that are too large, returning a HTTP 413 error with the M_TOO_LARGE code.
 - Remote homeservers may host very large files or images. Homeservers should not proxy or thumbnail large files or images from remote homeservers, returning a HTTP 502 error with the M_TOO_LARGE code.
 - Clients may try to upload a large number of files. Homeservers should limit the number and total size of media that can be uploaded by clients, returning a HTTP 403 error with the M_FORBIDDEN code.
 - Clients may try to access a large number of remote files through a homeserver. Homeservers should restrict the number and size of remote files that it caches.
 - Clients or remote homeservers may try to upload malicious files targeting vulnerabilities in either the homeserver thumbnailing or the client decoders.
13.9 Send-to-Device messaging
This module provides a means by which clients can exchange signalling messages without them being stored permanently as part of a shared communication history. A message is delivered exactly once to each client device.
The primary motivation for this API is exchanging data that is meaningless or undesirable to persist in the room DAG - for example, one-time authentication tokens or key data. It is not intended for conversational data, which should be sent using the normal /rooms/<room_id>/send API for consistency throughout Matrix.
13.9.1 Client behaviour
To send a message to other devices, a client should call /sendToDevice. Only one message can be sent to each device per transaction, and they must all have the same event type. The device ID in the request body can be set to * to request that the message be sent to all known devices.
If there are send-to-device messages waiting for a client, they will be returned by /sync, as detailed in Extensions to /sync. Clients should inspect the type of each returned event, and ignore any they do not understand.
13.9.2 Server behaviour
Servers should store pending messages for local users until they are successfully delivered to the destination device. When a client calls /sync with an access token which corresponds to a device with pending messages, the server should list the pending messages, in order of arrival, in the response body.
When the client calls /sync again with the next_batch token from the first response, the server should infer that any send-to-device messages in that response have been delivered successfully, and delete them from the store.
If there is a large queue of send-to-device messages, the server should limit the number sent in each /sync response. 100 messages is recommended as a reasonable limit.
If the client sends messages to users on remote domains, those messages should be sent on to the remote servers via federation.
13.9.3 Protocol definitions
13.9.3.1 PUT /_matrix/client/r0/sendToDevice/{eventType}/{txnId}

13.10 Device Management
This module provides a means for a user to manage their devices.
13.10.1 Client behaviour
Clients that implement this module should offer the user a list of registered devices, as well as the means to update their display names. Clients should also allow users to delete disused devices.

In conjunction with the Philippines Autism Consciousness Week, the proposed event was conducted based on the partnership built between government agencies and civil society organizations in the Southeast Asia and Japan. The event aimed to build a basis of dynamic exchange between Southeast Asia, particularly countries in the Mekong sub-region, and Japan about autism and recreation, leisure and sports as the first attempt in this area.
Over 400 participants from the Mekong countries and Japan enjoyed the opportunities for the human exchange. They gained knowledge and experience of the Philippines in terms of recreation, leisure and sports in the autism context. The participants also learned the outcome and impact of the movement at the national level through the Angel's walk for Autism. All the partners recapped the findings and lessons learned and, all the activities conducted were reviewed to make sure that knowledge and experience gained from the Philippines would be available in the Mekong countries.

MODELING FLUID FLOW IN OPEN CHANNEL WITH CIRCULAR CROSS-SECTION
Keywords:Open-channel flow, free surface, saint-venant equation, finite difference method
Flow in a closed conduit is regarded as open channel flow, if it has a free surface. This study considers unsteady non-uniform open channel flow in a closed conduit with circular cross-section. We investigate the effects of the flow depth, the cross section area of flow, channel radius, slope of the channel, roughness coefficient and energy coefficient on the flow velocity as well as the depth at which flow velocity is maximum. The Saint-Venant partial differential equations of continuity and momentum governing free surface flow in open channels are highly nonlinear and therefore do not have analytical solutions. The Finite Difference Approximation method is used to solve these equations because of its accuracy, stability and convergence. The results are presented graphically. It is established that for a given flow area, the velocity of flow increases with increasing depth and that the velocity is maximum slightly below the free surface. Moreover, increase in the slope of the channel and energy coefficient leads to an increase in flow velocity whereas increase in roughness coefficient, flow depth, radius of the conduit and area of flow leads to a decrease in flow velocity.

Low-Noise QCL Drivers
Jan 2011Wavelength Electronics Inc.Request Info
BOZEMAN, Mont., Jan. 4, 2011 — Low-noise control electronics minimize linewidth, spectral drift and center wavelength jitter. The QCL Series of ultrastable low-noise quantum cascade laser (QCL) drivers manufactured by Wavelength Electronics includes the QCL1000 1-A driver that offers 0.7 µA rms noise over a 100-kHz bandwidth.
Designed as an OEM controller, it can be used in field-deployed systems or on a benchtop. It can be interfaced to a printed circuit board or via cables. Bandwidth is 2 to 3 MHz, with rise and fall times of 250 and 200 ns, respectively.
Features include compliance voltage of up to 16 V, constant current mode, onboard setpoint and limit controls, and dual supply operation at ±24 V. Patented circuitry is suitable for driving quantum cascade lasers where electronic noise, coupled through the laser, affects sensor measurements. The onboard current setpoint trimpot allows a DC bias to be set, and its signal combines with a remote analog input signal that can be negative or positive. Current range can be adjusted from 100 mA up to 2 A.
The drivers are used for improving the performance of chemical sensors in biomedical, imaging, spectroscopy, remote sensing, military, communications, aerospace and materials processing applications.
The QCL Series drives up to 2 A of low-noise current with core safety features including current limit, slow start, brownout/reverse voltage/overvoltage protection, and remote or local current enable.

formal power series solutions for a linear ODE
formal Taylor series solutions for a linear ODE

FTseries(LODEstr, vn, opts)

LODEstruct data structure
dependent variable, for example yx
new function in the form vn
optional arguments of the form keyword=value
The FPseries and FTseries commands return a power series solution of the given linear ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients which must be homogeneous or inhomogeneous with a right hand side that is a polynomial, a rational function, or a "nice" power series (see LODEstruct) in the independent variable x.
If ode is an expression, then it is equated to zero.
The routine returns an error message if the differential equation ode does not satisfy the following conditions.
ode must be linear in var
ode must have polynomial coefficients in x
ode must be homogeneous or have a right-hand side that is rational or a "nice" power series in x
The coefficients of ode must be either rational numbers or depend rationally on one or more parameters.
A homogeneous linear ordinary differential equation with coefficients that are polynomials in x has a linear space of formal power series solutions ∑n=0∞vnPnx where P[n]x is one of x−an, x−ann!, 1xn, or 1xnn!, a is the expansion point, and the sequence vn satisfies a homogeneous linear recurrence. In the case of an inhomogeneous equation with a right-hand side that is a "nice" power series, vn satisfies an inhomogeneous linear recurrence.
The routines choose a polynomial basis depending on the expansion point. If a is a rational or algebraic number, then the basis is x−an for FPseries and x−ann! for FTseries. If a=∞, then the basis is 1xn for FPseries and 1xnn! for FTseries.
Both routines then build a linear recurrence Rvn=0 for the sequence of coefficients of the series solution in the chosen basis. They determine the number M of initial values of this sequence so that it is possible to calculate any element from these initial values using the recurrence (taking into account the order and the zeros of the leading coefficients of the recurrence), and calculate these initial values.
The formal power series is represented by an FPSstruct data structure:
where v0,...,vM are expressions, the initial series coefficients.
In the case of an inhomogeneous equation with a rational right hand side the commands work similarly. In the case of a "nice" power series right hand side the recurrence Rvn is inhomogeneous.
x=a or 'point'=a
Specifies the expansion point in the case of a homogeneous equation or an inhomogeneous equation with rational right-hand side. The default is a=0. It can be an algebraic number, depending rationally on some parameters, or ∞. In the case of a "nice" series right-hand side the expansion point is given by the right-hand side and cannot be changed.
Specifies a nonnegative integer N, the required number of initial terms of the series solutions. If this option is given, then the routine compares it with the determined number M and, if M


\ldots p-1\}$. Universal quantification over an empty domain is trivially true. The rest of the properties of the invariant are easy to prove by just substituting the values of the variables in the first iteration ($k = p$, $i = 1$, $j = 1$).
Maintenance step
The general rule for proving maintenance is: $\{Inv \wedge B\}$ $S$ $\{Inv\}$, being $S$ the set of instructions in the loop body.
The maintenance of the following invariant properties need not be proved:
$\forall 1 \leq x \leq q-p+1 : L[x] = A'[p+x-1]$
$\forall 1 \leq x \leq r-q : R[x] = A'[q+x]$
$L[q-p+2] = R[r-q+1] = \infty$
$A'[p\ldots q]$ and $A_1[q+1\ldots r]$ are already sorted.
since $A'$, $L$, $R$, $p$, $q$ and $r$ are not modified during the execution of the loop.
For the rest of the properties, we are going to prove their maintenance by considering the two possible cases that can occur (either $L[i] \leq R[j]$ or $L[i] \gt R[j]$):
(a) $Inv \wedge B \wedge (L[i] \leq R[j]) \wedge (A[k] = L[i]) \implies ((Inv)_{i+1}^{i})_{k+1}^{k}$
 1. Maintenance of $p \leq k \leq r + 1$
$p \leq k \leq r + 1 \wedge B \implies (p \leq k \leq r + 1)^{k}_{k+1}$
$p \leq k \leq r + 1 \wedge k\leq r \implies p \leq k+1 \leq r + 1$
$p \leq k \leq r \implies p \leq k+1 \leq r + 1$
 1. Maintenance of $k = p+j+i-2$
At the end of the iteration, both $k$ and $i$ will have incremented by one with respect to their previous value, and $j$ will remain unchanged. Hence, the equality $k = p+j+i-2$ will be preserved.
 1. Maintenance of $i \leq q-p+2$ and $j \leq r-q+1$.
The variable $j$ remains unchanged so $j \leq r-q+1$ is maintained.
The variable $i$ cannot grow larger than $q-p+2$ because if $i = q-p+2$, then $L[i] = \infty$, and the condition $L[i] \leq R[j]$ (line 13) will fail provided that $R[j] \neq \infty$, or equivalently, $j \neq r-q+1$. Now, suppose $i = q-p+2$ and $j = r-q+1$ occur at the same time:
$Inv \wedge \color{red}{B} \wedge (i = q-p+2) \wedge (j = r-q+1)\implies$
$(k = p+j+i-2) \wedge (i = q-p+2) \wedge (j = r-q+1) \implies k = r + 1 \implies \color{red}{\lnot B}$
This is a contradiction, therefore, $i = q-p+2$ and $j = r-q+1$ cannot occur at the same time provided $Inv \wedge B$.
 1. Maintenance of $\varphi$
$Inv \wedge B \wedge (L[i] \leq R[j]) \wedge (A[k] = L[i]) \implies ((\varphi)^{i}_{i+1})^{k}_{k+1}$
We want to prove that $((\varphi)^{i}_{i+1})^{k}_{k+1}$, that is:
There exists a bijection $F : \{p\ldots k\} \rightarrow \{p \ldots p+i-1\} \cup \{q+1\ldots q+j-1\}$ such that
$\forall p \leq x \leq k : A[x] = A'[F(x)]$. Furthermore $\forall p\leq x \lt k : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]$.
We will do this in two steps. First we are going to prove $\forall p\leq x \lt k : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]$.
We know from $\Psi$ that $\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq min(L[i],R[j])$. Since $L[i] \leq R[j]$, then $\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq L[i]$. Since $A[k] = L[i]$, then $\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq A[k]$.
We know from $\varphi$ that $\forall p\leq x \lt k-1 : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]$. We can conclude that:
$$(\forall p\leq x \lt k-1 : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]) \wedge (\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq A[k]) \implies$$ $$\forall p\leq x \lt k : A[x] \leq A[x + 1]$$
Let's continue with the second part.
Let there be a bijection $F : \{p\ldots k-1\} \rightarrow \{p \ldots p+i-2\} \cup \{q+1\ldots q+j-1\}$ such that
$\forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] = A'[F(x)]$.
Since $A[k] = L[i] = A'[p+i-1]$, we can construct another bijection $F' : \{p\ldots k\} \rightarrow \{p \ldots p+i-1\} \cup \{q+1\ldots q+j-1\}$ such that
$\forall p \leq x \leq k : A[x] = A'[F'(x)]$.
 1. Maintenance of $\Psi$
$Inv \wedge B \wedge (L[i] \leq R[j]) \wedge (A[k] = L[i]) \implies ((\Psi)^{i}_{i+1})^{k}_{k+1}$
$\Psi: \forall p \leq x \leq k-1 : A[x] \leq min(L[i],R[j])$
Since $A[k] = L[i]$ and $L[i] \leq R[j]$, then $A[k] \leq min(L[i],R[j])$
Since $L[i] \leq L[i+1]$, then $min(L[i],R[j]) \leq min(L[i+1],R[j])$
Therefore, $\forall p \leq x \leq k : A[x] \leq min(L[i+1],R[j])$
(b) $Inv \wedge B \wedge (L[i] \gt R[j]) \wedge (A[k] = R[j]) \implies ((Inv)_{j+1}^{j})_{k+1}^{k}$
The proof of (b) is analogous to (a).
Termination step
First, we can derive that $Inv \wedge (k = r + 1)$ implies $(i = q-p+2)\wedge(j=r

How Australia could do better with bike lanes
The idea that more roads could be built along our national urban network has been a recurring theme in recent years.
We know that the roads are a key element of our transport network and they are vital for our communities.
But how can we improve the condition of our roads so that they are more suitable for bikes?
The concept of "urban bike lane" is a useful one and one that has been adopted in many places around the world.
The problem The road network is one of the most complex systems on the planet.
We have roads, railways, railways and other modes of transport that interconnect the different areas of the country.
Each mode of transport requires different infrastructure, such as infrastructure for cars, for cyclists and pedestrians and for cyclists themselves.
For example, in Australia, the national network has three major roads, the major motorways, the motorway interchanges and the major roads themselves.
These three main roads are each under the control of different authorities and there are some very long stretches of road that do not need to be connected.
But we also have major sections of roads that are under-used and in some cases they are in need of repair, such a section of the major road in Canberra that has a junction on one side of the road and the road itself is not in use.
We also have sections of road where a road is not connected with the main road at all.
For many reasons, many roads in Australia have a bad reputation and are poorly maintained.
We all know that roads are not a pleasant place to ride on, but in many ways they are even worse than they are seen to be.
In Australia, most of the problems associated with roads come from poor maintenance, especially on roads that have been in use for decades.
For a large part of the year, people do not cycle on our roads.
Roads are often in bad condition, they are often built poorly and the maintenance is poor.
In some places there is little or no road maintenance, or the maintenance in those places is so poor that it is often difficult to identify the problem.
There are also some areas that are particularly difficult to cycle on, such in suburban areas and rural areas where there are fewer people to cycle, and where the roads have not been maintained in a well-functioning manner.
This is where urban bike lanes can make a big difference to the condition and quality of our national roads.
Urban bike lanes will be built with the same quality of construction and design as the motorways and the motor-driven cycleways.
Urban Bike Lanes would have improved safety and quality The first step is to design a system of bicycle lanes that can be used in most places across Australia, without having to travel on motorways or motorways interchanges.
This would involve the following: the building of dedicated cycle lanes along the major routes of the national urban cycle network, with dedicated cycleways at every intersection, where the cycleway crosses the road from the road into the cycle lane; and

f^\flat)}\sim \frac{\Lambda}{\prod_{j=0}^{k-2}(X-u^{{\kern1.5pt}j}+1)}. \end{align*} $$
Proof. It is enough to show that the $\mu $ -invariant of the quotient on the left-hand side vanishes. For simplicity, let us write
$$ \begin{align*} C=e_\eta\mathrm{Image}(\mathrm{Col}_{f}^\sharp\oplus \mathrm{Col}_f^\flat) \quad\text{and}\quad C_{\bullet}=e_\eta\mathrm{Image}\mathrm{Col}_f^{\bullet} \quad\mbox{ for } \bullet\in\{\sharp,\flat\}. \end{align*} $$
Consider the tautological short exact sequence $ 0\rightarrow C\rightarrow \Lambda ^2\rightarrow \Lambda ^2/C\rightarrow 0. $ This gives the exact sequence
$$ \begin{align*} 0\rightarrow(\Lambda^2/C)[\varpi]\rightarrow C/\varpi\stackrel{\Phi}{\longrightarrow} \Lambda^2/\varpi, \end{align*} $$
where $\varpi $ is a fixed uniformiser of $\mathcal {O}$ . Similarly, we have the exact sequences
$$ \begin{align*} 0\rightarrow(\Lambda/C_{\bullet})[\varpi]\rightarrow C_{\bullet}/\varpi\stackrel{\Phi_{\bullet}}{\longrightarrow} \Lambda/\varpi \quad\mbox{ for } \bullet\in\{\sharp,\flat\}. \end{align*} $$
Recall from [Reference Lei, Loeffler and Zerbes17, Theorem 5.10] that the $\mu $ -invariants of $\Lambda /C_{\bullet }$ are zero. Therefore, $\ker \Phi _{\bullet }=(\Lambda /C_{\bullet })[\varpi ]$ is finite for both choices of $\bullet $ . Note that $C\subset C_\sharp \oplus C_\flat $ and $\Phi =(\Phi _\sharp \oplus \Phi _\flat )|_{C/\varpi }$ by definition, which implies that
$$ \begin{align*} \ker\Phi\subset \ker\Phi_\sharp\oplus\ker\Phi_\flat. \end{align*} $$
Hence, $\ker \Phi =(\Lambda ^2/C)[\varpi ]$ is finite. In particular, the $\mu $ -invariant of $\Lambda ^2/C$ is zero, which finishes the proof of the lemma.
Remark 2.3. In the case where $T_f$ is the p-adic Tate module of an elliptic curve with good supersingular reduction at p, we can in fact describe the set C explicitly. See [Reference Lei and Lim15, Proposition 2.2].
It follows from Lemma 2.2 that there is an exact sequence
(2.4) $$ \begin{align} 0\rightarrow \mathbb{H}^1_{f,i}\rightarrow \Lambda^2\rightarrow \mathcal{C}_{k,i}\rightarrow 0, \end{align} $$
where the first map is given by $\mathrm {Col}_{f,i}^\sharp \oplus \mathrm {Col}_{f,i}^\flat $ and $\mathcal {C}_{k,i}$ is a $\Lambda $ -module, which is pseudo-isomorphic to $\Lambda /\eta _{k,i}$ , with $\eta _{k,i}$ being the image of $\prod _{j=0}^{k-2}(X-u^{{\kern1.5pt}j}+1)$ under the twisting map $\operatorname {\mathrm {Tw}}^{i-k+1}$ .
3 A generalisation of a result of Wingberg
Let $\mathcal {A}$ be an abelian variety over $\mathbb {Q}$ with supersingular reduction at p. Wingberg proved that there is a pseudo-isomorphism of $\Lambda $ -modules
$$ \begin{align*} (\operatorname{\mathrm{Sel}}(\mathcal{A}[p^\infty]/\mathbb{Q}_{\operatorname{\mathrm{cyc}}})^{\vee} )_{{\Lambda-\mathrm{tor}}}\sim(\operatorname{\mathrm{Sel}}_0(\mathcal{A}^t[p^\infty]/\mathbb{Q}_{\operatorname{\mathrm{cyc}}})^{\vee})^\iota, \end{align*} $$
where $\mathcal {A}^t$ is the dual abelian variety of $\mathcal {A}$ (see [Reference Wingberg, Coates, Greenberg, Mazur and Satake28, Corollary 2.5]). Here, $M_{\Lambda -\mathrm {tor}}$ denotes the maximal torsion submodule of a $\Lambda $ -module M, $\operatorname {\mathrm {Sel}}(\mathcal {A}[p^\infty ]/\mathbb {Q}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {cyc}}})$ is the p-primary Selmer group of $\mathcal {A}$ over $\mathbb {Q}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {cyc}}}$ and $\operatorname {\mathrm {Sel}}_0(\mathcal {A}^t[p^\infty ]/\mathbb {Q}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {cyc}}})$ is the p-primary fine Selmer group of $\mathcal {A}^t$ over $\mathbb {Q}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {cyc}}}$ defined in a similar manner to the fine Selmer groups for $A_g({\kern1.5pt}j)$ in Section 2.1 above. We prove the following analogue of Wingberg's result in the context of modular forms.
Theorem 3.1. We have a pseudo-isomorphism of $\Lambda $ -modules
$$ \begin{align*} (H^1(\mathbb{Q}_{\operatorname{\mathrm{cyc}}},A_g({\kern1.5pt}j))^\vee)_{\Lambda-\mathrm{tor}}\sim (\mathfrak{H}^2_{g,j})^\iota, \end{align*} $$
where $g\in \{f,{\overline {f}}\}$ and $j\in \mathbb {Z}$ .
Proof. From the low-degree terms of Nekovář's spectral sequence (see [Reference Nekovář20, Lemma 9.1.5]),
$$ \begin{align*} \operatorname{\mathrm{Ext}}_{\Lambda}^{r}( H^{3-s}_{\operatorname{\mathrm{Iw}}}(\mathbb{Q}_{\operatorname{\mathrm{cyc}}}, T_g({\kern1.5pt}j)), \Lambda)\Rightarrow H^{3-r-s}(\mathbb{Q}_{\operatorname{\mathrm{cyc}}}, A_g({\kern1.5pt}j))^\vee, \end{align*} $$
we obtain the exact sequence of $\Lambda $ -modules
$$ \begin{align*} 0 \longrightarrow \operatorname{\mathrm{Ext}}_{\Lambda}^{1}( H^2_{\operatorname{\mathrm{Iw}}}(\mathbb{Q}_{\operatorname{\mathrm{cyc}}}, T_g({\kern1.5pt}j)), \

More inputs suppliers have expressed interest in taking part in the command farming scheme amid indications of the roll out of crop production programmes by government.
The agro-inputs supply industry has recorded significant growth since last year as a result of the command farming scheme, leading to more market players expressing their interest.
Speaking at a field day at Agriculture Research Trust in Harare, K2 seed marketing agronomist Beauty Magiya said production efforts are being channelled to meet cropping and livestock requirements of the command scheme while K2 country manager John Makoni said farmers can increase productivity by adopting suitable hybrid seed varieties for their regions.
" We as K2 are supporting command agriculture one hundred percent and this year we are prepared to grow the required seeds which include maize, soya-beans and pasture'" said Mrs Magiya.
Mr Makoni said as K2 they are demonstrating the genetics which they have for the country and they are all rounders.
"We have white and yellow maize small grains to farmers. Yes there are traditional seed houses but it's up to the farmers to try new things so they can improve productivity as farming is a business," he said.
Farmers who spoke to ZBC News from Karoi and Domboshawa were upbeat of achieving high productivity this year while urging government to speed up inputs distribution.
Sources say the forthcoming command wheat programme has recorded a high subscription rate with some seed houses running wheat seeds.

iMac Pro review
Please bear with me on this one.
On Thursday we had a new telephone line fitted. Prior to this we were running a Windows 98 desktop PC , and a XP Home Edition laptop, both online at the same time , via a wireless router.
This was working perfectly.
Now, whenever the second user tries to go on-line, the other user is "kicked-out".
The guy from the PO says it must be an AOL fault, but doesn't know what. Any suggestions guys?
erm...Have you setup your Internet Connection to be Shared?
Sounds as if the XP machine has taken charge of the Internet gateway. Your wireless router is an Internet Gateway, its main purpose is to allow a gateway for the wireless network, i.e. it's the router/modem that connects to the outside world. Windows XP also has a function that when going through the Microsoft networking wizard it sets up a Virtual Internet Gateway. This causes quite a bit of problems where one PC on the network may stop working while the other is working and vice versa. When Windows XP has this enabled it basically means that it is also try to do what your router does, so the network thinks there is two gateways on the network. Check the network connections on the XP PC and look for an internet gateway. Let me know if there is one.
1.First of all check wheter the computers can communicate with the router and each other - open DOS (START > RUN > command) and ping each device. Type "ping IP_address" for each device. If this works and no packets are lost then your network and router are working.
2.Make sure Default Gateway on BOTH computers is the router's - open DOS (START > RUN > command) and type ipconfig. The DEFAULT GATEWAY should be the same as Router IP Address. If not you must change this.
3.Make sure Internet Connection is Shared - go to START > CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK & INTERNET CONNECTIONS > NETWORK CONNECTIONS and right click your Internet Connection click PROPERTIES. Go to ADVANCED tab and make sure that Internet Sharing checkboxes are ALL ticked.
4.If Default Gateway incorrect - go to START > CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK & INTERNET CONNECTIONS > NETWORK CONNECTIONS and right click Internet Connection click PROPERTIES. Select TCP/IP and click PROPERTIES. Type in the IP Address of ROUTER for DEFAULT GATEWAY on BOTH computers. Repeat this process for Local Area Network Connection as well.
5.Make sure SUBNET MASK is same on ALL devices (router, both computers) - check by going to DOS and typing ipconfig (2). If they are not all the same, go to (4) and set the SUBNET MASK the SAME for each device.
Thanks guys for your splendid responses. I will have to get a knowledgeable friend to come to my house tomorrow and give them a try.
Main problem is that my computer is all in German and it doesn't have the usual English format, ie: control panel etc., But I am fairly sure that my friend will be able to sort it out.
I will get back to you all as soon as we have some development. Thanks very much for your input. It is greatly appreciated. Geordielad.

The Mandarin
The Mandarin learned how to utilize the rings for own personal use and make them respond to his personal commands. Over the years, the Mandarin's mind has actually come to inhabit the rings so that now no one else can make use of them. The Mandarin can also now control the rings over large distances.
The functions of each ring are as follows:
Pinky: Ice Blast. Freezes the air in its path and can lower an object's temperature to almost absolute zero.
Ring Finger: Mento-Intensifier. Magnifies the Mandarin's psychic energy enabling him to mentally control a person. Only effective at short range.
Middle Finger: Electro-Blast. Emits quantities of electrical energy determined by the wearer (Mandarin). Upper limit of output is unknown.
Index Finger: Flame Blast. Emits infrared radiation and can cause air to incandesce by igniting its molecules. Maximum out is unknown.
Thumb: White Light. Emits many different types of energy from the electro-magnetic spectrum. Frequently used as intense visible light and laser beams.
Pinky: Black Light. Creates area of "absolute blackness" where all light is absorbed. It is believed that this ring accesses the "darkforce" used by characters such as Darkstar and the Shroud.
Ring Finger: Disintegration Beam: Destroys bonds between atoms and molecules causing an object's cohesion to fall apart. Needs 20 minutes recharge time between uses.
Middle Finger: Vortex Beam. Causes air to swirl about in a vortex at high speed. Can levitate objects, propel wearer (Mandarin) in flight and be used as a weapon.
Index Finger: Impact Beam. Projects concussive force of approximately 350 lbs. of TNT. Can also cause intense sonic vibrations and create magnetic waves.
Thumb: Matter Rearranger. Can rearrange atoms and/or molecules of substances or speed up/slow down their movements to result in various effects. Cannot actually transmute elements.

Marie Curtis, the Australian photographer behind My Captured Life, is known for her ability to show depth and emotion in the images she takes of everyday life. The result is photos that are clearly artistic while still capturing the essence of daily life and childhood.
Marie explores her approach in-depth in her Beyond the Wanderlust workshop Art & SouI: Adding Depth and Emotion to Storytelling Images. When Marie refers to "depth," she is describing images with three different kinds of depth: great visual or spatial depth; emotional depth showing the ability to engage and connect with the viewer; and creative depth.
Here Marie shares her top five tips for creating depth in images:
Capturing 'the moment' and fostering connection
Emotional depth comes from the ability to convey a feeling to the viewer. The most important step in making meaningful images is to capture honest, raw and emotive moments. Whether it is a tender embrace between a mother and child, the moment the cold water hits your subject's feet, or the moment a giggle turns into a belly laugh – capturing that moment that will elicit an emotional response that will engage the viewer. There are a number of things photographer can do to help themselves recognise the 'moment' but the most important thing is to exercise patience and use the power of observation to watch people's posture, facial expressions, body movements and body language to help anticipate what will happen next. In addition, photographers need to remember that people are complex, multi-faceted human beings so it's important to remember that 'the moment' doesn't just have to be one of joy. While it's wonderful to catch a bursting smile, to tell the full story of a person's individual character, we should not shy away from capturing a range of emotions in our photographs.
Composition is a very important aspect to consider when striving to make images with greater depth. Unlike capturing "the moment," composition is one area that photographers do have control over. By making intentional decisions about how photographs are put together, photographers can add spatial and emotional depth. Photography is essentially taking a three dimensional scene and replicating it on a two dimensional medium. So how do photographers take something that is essentially a rectangle and give it the illusion of spatial depth? Firstly, they can compose photographs by layering them so that the important elements fall within the foreground, middle ground and background of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye into the photograph. Photographers can also use leading lines within the scene to draw the viewer's eyes into the photograph and use framing to bring a greater focus to the subject. Photographers can utilize negative space to give a feeling of isolation and help the subject stand out, or change perspective by shooting from below, shooting from above, or shooting at eye level to change the feeling that is conveyed.
Light and how you use it is one of the major determining factors for the mood and emotional depth of an image. Light and mood are intimately connected in our minds – the emotional unease you feel walking through a dark area at night differs from the feeling of comfort and nostalgia that is summoned by the golden light of the setting sun. Photographers can use light in photographs to tap into the emotional connection we all have with it. The fall of light and shadow doesn't just tell us how we should feel looking at the image but also gives us visual clues about the spatial dimensions and depth of the frame. To best utilize light in images, photographers first need to constantly observe how and where light and shadows fall within a frame and adjust their position (or the subject's position) and exposure accordingly. Whether you are shooting into the light, using low light, soft window light, harsh middle-of-the-day, or golden light at sunrise and sunset, light it is all just a matter of training the eye to notice the subtleties of each kind of light. And don't forget to crank that ISO if and when you need to!
Using movement to help tell a story is a great way to add depth to an image. Photography is all about capturing a still image – freezing that tiny fraction of a moment forever. The way photographers use movement in their images can not only make them more compelling and dynamic but also alter the mood of the image entirely. Ultimately, photographers want the viewer to feel as much a part of the scene as possible. Photographers can enhance the viewer's engagement and experience simply by utilising a fast shutter speed to freeze motion. This is a unique way of seeing rapid, fleeting moments, such as an enthusiastic child mid-jump or the splashing of water droplets, in the kind of detail you wouldn't be able to take in in real time. In contrast, by utilising a slow shutter speed photographers can cause the source of the movement, such as a fast moving child, to be intentionally blurred giving a sense of chaos and motion.
Embracing creativity, breaking the rules and imperfection
Artistic perfection happens when an emotional response is elicited from the viewer and this can be achieved despite of, or even because of, a lack of technical perfection. Being able to embrace creativity and let go of expectation by simply focusing on the best way to convey a mood can go a long way in connecting on an emotional level with the viewer. Adding creative depth to an image can be done in any number of ways. By carefully observing our environment and embracing points of interest, such as sunbursts, sunflares, shadows, patterns and reflections, and incorporating them into our compositions photographers can add another layer of intrigue and depth to our images.

Database.MySQL.Simple.QueryResults
Description
The QueryResults typeclass, for converting a row of results returned by a SQL query into a more useful Haskell representation.
Synopsis
Documentation
class QueryResults a whereSource
A collection type that can be converted from a list of strings.
Instances should use the convert method of the Result class to perform conversion of each element of the collection.
This example instance demonstrates how to convert a two-column row into a Haskell pair. Each field in the metadata is paired up with each value from the row, and the two are passed to convert.
 instance (Result a, Result b) => QueryResults (a,b) where
 convertResults [fa,fb] [va,vb] = (a,b)
 where !a = convert fa va
 !b = convert fb vb
 convertResults fs vs = convertError fs vs
Notice that this instance evaluates each element to WHNF before constructing the pair. By doing this, we guarantee two important properties:
 - Keep resource usage under control by preventing the construction of potentially long-lived thunks.
 - Ensure that any ResultError that might arise is thrown immediately, rather than some place later in application code that cannot handle it.
Methods
convertResults :: [Field] -> [Maybe ByteString] -> aSource
Convert values from a row into a Haskell collection.
This function will throw a ResultError if conversion of the collection fails.
Instances
Result a => QueryResults (Only a)
(Result a, Result b) => QueryResults (a, b)
(Result a, Result b, Result c) => QueryResults (a, b, c)
(Result a, Result b, Result c, Result d) => QueryResults (a, b, c, d)
(Result a, Result b, Result c, Result d, Result e) => QueryResults (a, b, c, d, e)
(Result a, Result b, Result c, Result d, Result e, Result f) => QueryResults (a, b, c, d, e, f)
(Result a, Result b, Result c, Result d, Result e, Result f, Result g) => QueryResults (a, b, c, d, e, f, g)
(Result a, Result b, Result c, Result d, Result e, Result f, Result g, Result h) => QueryResults (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h)
(Result a, Result b, Result c, Result d, Result e, Result f, Result g, Result h, Result i) => QueryResults (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
(Result a, Result b, Result c, Result d, Result e, Result f, Result g, Result h, Result i, Result j) => QueryResults (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j)
convertError :: [Field] -> [Maybe ByteString] -> Int -> aSource
Throw a ConversionFailed exception, indicating a mismatch between the number of columns in the Field and row, and the number in the collection to be converted to.

Inland transport represents 40 percent of the total cost of moving West African cocoa and coffee exports from their origin to their port of destination. With so many landlocked countries this is a multinational problem, one that must be confronted on a regional or corridor basis.
The port-to-rail link, the first major weakness, is often inhibited by conflicts between rail and port jurisdictions over rail segments in port areas. The lack of integration prevents effective operation of the container trade, as containers are loaded and unloaded in port areas, exacerbating congestion. Some of the most successful rail lines in Africa operate in national corridors where specialized rail and port facilities are vertically integrated. Spoornet coal and ore lines and Gabonese manganese ore are two examples.
Another key issue is the potential role of inland waterways and their effective integration into the regional road and rail network. The vast Congo River basin, as well as the great lakes of East and Central Africa, were once key elements of the regional transport network; even today they provide very cost-effective surface transportation. However, they have been in decline due to the considerable costs and delays associated with transferring freight onto barges from trucks and trains, operations made necessary because of the long neglect of dredging, signaling, and port infrastructure—all necessary to integrate waterways into national transportation systems.

3. Pots for seeds
The way to slave bad soil
Well ok maybe the school soil wasn't the best, so we needed a little friend I like to call soil disc... soil disc...? Yeah its an ammount of soil that has been individualy made by taking out all the liquid the soil contains and giving it the form of a disc. When you see and touch the soil disc it seems like compresed cardboard... Ohh boy!!! But everything changed when we added water.
- 1.Soil disc
- 2.Plastic cup
- 3.Graduated cylinder
- 5.Tomatoes seeds
To make the seed pot we used brown disc made of compacted soil, a plastic cup and a graduate cylinder with 5 ml of clear water. First we put the brown disc in the plastic cup. Then we pour 5 ml of water inside the cup. And you know what? 5 minutes later... and maybe other 5 minutes more, the disc of soil absorbed all the water and expanded and transformed into a cylinder inside the plastic cup. Then we removed out the expanded of soil from the plastic cup. With the pencil we made a hole in the middle of it where we put 3 to 5 tomato seed. Then we put the soil disc with the seeds in a crystal jar. We use the jar because its work like a greenhouse that will help the seeds germinated faster. We waited for 2 weeks maybe,3 maybe ok really we wait between 5 to 6 weeks and our babies started to grow up.
I'M A HAPPY MOM!!!
My baby name is AMY360. Yeaaaaah!!!
|Here Jose is watching the results from when he poured water in the disk of soil and it grew until it became a cylinder, we had to plant our seed in there because the soil from the garden wasn't good e||After we planted the seed we waited 2 weeks and finally our babies are growing up.|
