Elevate – How Lifting Others Lifts You – At Work, At Home, And In Life
Imagine each day we get into an elevator, and our attitude and actions determine which floor we get out. Some days, we might not make it past the lower basement levels. Other days, we enjoy million dollar views from the penthouse suite or the infinity pool on the rooftop.
We all have team members, family members, clients, students, or someone in our lives that we wish we could motivate, help, or move to the next level. Sometimes it's ourselves! How do we get the best out of the people around us – in our workplace, in our family, or even in our own personal lives?
Using the latest cutting-edge, evidence-based science of positive psychology, Dr Justin
Coulson, one of Australia's leading wellbeing and relationships experts shows how easy it
can be to take our own lives to the next level… by elevating those around us.
Those who attend Elevate will:
- Discover central strategies for successfully lifting those around them to higher levels from the latest research in Positive Psychology
- Identify critical drivers of trusting relationships that will have massive impact in every facet of their lives – at work, at home, and personally.
- Experience insights that will genuinely impact on their personal wellbeing, and change the way that they experience others
Because the presentation will:
- Provide specific examples of people who are getting it right
- Speak in language that makes sense, with stories and research combined in an engaging, interactive, and fun style
- Offer easy-to-implement suggestions for elevating others, so participants can choose ideas that feel right for them and start changing their relationships and their lives
Who should attend?
This presentation is ideal for anyone who works in (or lives in) a relationships-based role. Perfect for teams, sales, leaders, teachers, administrators, network marketers… people who deal with people.
Force Creates Resistance
What do you do when you are handed poop fresh from the nappy by a two-yearold? How do you handle being metaphorically handed the same thing from challenging adolescents determined to live their own lives? While our colleagues, our clients, our teams, or our students don't exactly hand us their crap, the challenges they dish up to us can sometimes leave us wondering whether we are managing adults… or children.
As a father of six children, Dr Justin Coulson – one of Australia's leading parenting experts – has seen it all. Justin has guided parents through thick and thin, and discovered that parenting provides powerful lessons in life and leadership.
In this presentation, Dr Justin Coulson unpacks lessons in life and leadership through the lens of a parent. But make no mistake; these are powerful principles that can change relationships in fundamental and significant ways.
Those who attend will:
- Discover groundbreaking principles from the science of relationships that helps us to get relationships right – every time
- Move past the vicious circle of conflict in constructive, positive ways without alienating clients, colleagues, students, or loved ones
- Develop powerful, personal strategies for building trust
- Unpack the secret to getting things done when relationships are at an impasse, and
- Learn how creating a 'trust triangle' will lead to more influence in relationships that matter most
Because the presentation will:
- Focus participants on cutting edge, evidence-based scientific principles
- Be grounded in real life, with real examples of people who have gotten it right in relationships, and people who have gotten it wrong
- Speak in language that makes sense, with stories and research combined in an engaging, interactive, and fun style, and
Offer easy-to-implement suggestions for changing relationships for the better RIGHT NOW.
Who should attend?
This presentation is perfect for anyone who is in a relationship – which includes most of us. If you lead people, sell to people, engage with people, teach people, or try to influence people in any way, you will benefit from this presentation.
4 Steps to Enormous Emotional Intelligence
Emotions matter more than we know. They affect memory, learning, and attention. They impact on motivation, the decisions we make, and even the performance appraisals and grades we give. Emotions influence our relationships, and our physical and mental health. They shape our everyday effectiveness and can alter our lives.
But emotions are poorly misunderstood, especially at work and in the classroom. When emotions surface in our work teams or with our students, they are routinely ignored, or worse, shut down.
Research shows that raising our EQ – our emotional intelligence – can have an instant impact on relationships, behaviours, a sense of team and unity, and even achievement and wellbeing. The trick, it seems, is learning how to recognise and respond to emotions in ways that help, rather than hurt.
This presentation shares:
1. The theory and practice of being emotionally intelligent
Research shows that people perform or learn better when they feel secure in their relationships with managers, colleagues, clients, or students. And leaders and teachers who are emotionally intelligent can provide that security. We'll step through the four key aspects of emotional intelligence, with plenty of time to learn the theory and practice the formula.
2. How emotional intelligence changes how we respond to bullies
It's ironic that the typical way we respond to bullies is to become bullies ourselves. We systematically use our power to persistently and repeatedly treat them negatively – often to 'teach them a lesson', just like bullies! Studies are clearly demonstrating that this is neither effective, nor is it emotionally intelligent. Participants will discover emotionally intelligent ways to respond to bullying and other challenges in ways that work to really change behaviour.
3. How to manage others without resorting to yelling, threats, and bribes
The 'old school' management style is no longer effective. Power no longer elicits the same compliance it once may have. Bribes and threats, rewards and punishments, only 'work' in the short-term (if at all). The real purpose of any kind of discipline should be to create a positive learning environment where our employees or students can focus on the task at hand, feel comfortable and secure, and achieve amazing results.
This presentation will provide leaders and teachers with effective strategies for developing their emotional intelligence (or EQ), to get the best from themselves and from those around them.


any case).
You can control how an application reacts to a parameter modification by subscribing RoleEnvironment.Changing event, if you want to restart the whole role when a parameter change you can simply set Cancel=true inside Changing event:
RoleEnvironment.Changing += (s, e) =>
e.Cancel = true;
in this case, when application's.cscfg file content change, the role is shut down then restarted so that new parameters can be properly reloaded. If you don't want to restart the role but handle modifications yourself you can handle Changes parameter passed to RoleEnvironment.Changing event.
How can you test this logic when your app runs inside Azure local compute emulator? here are basic step:
 - Run you app locally and read what is current development id by opening compute emulator UI and reading what between parenthesis (2103 in following example) following deploymentXX label:
 - Run Windows Azure Command Prompt and navigate to the folder that contains your configuration file ServiceConfiguration.cscfg and run this command:
 csrun /update:[id];ServiceConfiguration.cscfg
And you'll see your role reacting to configuration change appropriately.

Copying and moving styles using Expression Blend for HTML
Here's a couple of Blend tricks I'd like to share:
Let's say you have this HTML fragment:
 Content goes here
by looking at Blend's css properties pane you can see that, it has some css rules automatically applied:
you can copy the applied rule and paste it into another stylesheet by right clicking the highlighted row into selecting copy:
Now go to the Styles pane and click the "+" button shown in the picture below to add a new stylesheet:
then right click new file and select paste from context menu to paste the selector.
If you already have the same selector inside target file the properties will be merged (you'll see Paste properties instead of Paste menu) of course you can also right click the selector inside source file and copy/paste from there but in this case you will copy all selectors not just applied one.
Let's now suppose you change h1's background color:
this results in this inline style:
 Content goes here
how do I move the inline style to h1's selector inside my test.css? select Inline Style on Blend's pane and select Copy from context menu:
then select target stylesheet, target rule (if any), right click and then Paste properties from context menu:
to have properties added to selected file or rule.

Fragment loading and Navigation in HTML5 Metro applications
Navigation is one of the core concepts of any Metro application, in this post I'll show how can you implement it in a HTML based Metro application.
The easiest way is to use the same common approach used by millions of HTML pages: using an hyperlink.
Assuming you are in default.html page and wish to navigate to page2.html all you need to do is add something like:
 1:
 2:
 3:
 4:
 5: DemoNavigation
 7:
 8:
 9:
 12:
 13:
 14:
 15:
 16:
 17: Click here to navigate to Page 2
 18:
 19:
When you run the app and click the hyperlink you move straight to page2.html.
This is approach is quite common, works fine (of course) but has a main drawback: you loose state when you move from default.html to page2.html, so if you need to maintain state, something that's quite common in client application Smile, you're on your own.
The problem is the same in web application that's why technologies like ajax or single page applications are gaining more and more momentum.
Let's now briefly see how you can embed an HTML fragment into default.html using WinJS's HtmlControl, here's the html you need to add to default.html page:
 1:
 2:
 3: This is a html fragment
 4:
 1:
 2: This is main page
 3:
 5:
Launching the app you'll see exactly what expected but with some limitations:
the fragment can't reference any css nor javascript file, and you are not informed when the fragment is loaded, luckily there's a way to get some javascript code executed when fragment is loaded into the DOM: WinJS.Pages.define.
Let's assume we wish to dynamically change the text of the fragment after it has been loaded so let's add a new pagedefine.js file (just for better understanding and separation) to our solution:
 1: ///
 3: (function () {
 4: 'use strict';
 6: WinJS.UI.Pages.define("../fragments/pageFragment.html",
 7: {
 8: ready:function(element,options)
 9: {
 10: var text = document.getElementById("txt");
 11: text.innerText = new Date().toLocaleString();
 12: }
 13: });
 16: }());
 1:
 5:
The define method available on Pages object accept the uri that uniquely identifies the page that is going to be loaded and an object exposing a set of properties, among these, ready is the function that will be called when page has been loaded into DOM, then the code just changes element content with current date:
we're now in a state where we can load a HTML fragment and run some code after it has been loades, before going further I need to point out that HmlControl can only load local html, if you need to load external content iFrame is your friend.
Problem now is: what if I need to load the fragment programmatically? (e.g. on a button click), let's remove HtmlControl from default.html and let's inject the fragment with a little help from WinJS:
 1:
 2:
 3:
 4:
 5: DemoNavigation
 7:
 13:
 14:
 15:
 16:
 17:
 19: Load fragment
 20:
 21:
 22:
 1: //default.js
 2: (function () {
 3: "use strict";
 4: var app = WinJS.Application;
 5: app.onactivated = function (eventObject) {
 6: if (eventObject.detail.kind === Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.ActivationKind.launch) {
 7: if (eventObject.detail.previousExecutionState!== Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.ApplicationExecutionState.terminated) {
 8: // TODO: This application has been newly launched. Initialize
 9: // your application here.
 10: } else {
 11: // TODO: This application has been reactivated from suspension.
 12: // Restore application state here.
 13: }
 14: WinJS.UI.processAll().then(function (e) {
 15: "btnLoad").listen("click", function (e) {
 16: //Load fragment
 17: var"contentHost")[0];
 18: WinJS.UI.Pages.render("../fragments/pageFragment.html", host, { data: 'data2share' });

|A sci-tech expert introduces grape management skills to villagers in Shanting District, Zaozhuang, east China's Shandong Province, July 29, 2020. [People's Daily Online/Wang Qimeng]|
Science and technology are fully exploited by China to help its poverty alleviation efforts, which has increased income for huge batches of farmers.
Since 2012, China's science and technology community has established 1,290 platforms to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship in rural areas that fostered 77,000 pairs of mutual assistance and dispatched 289,800 experts to rural areas. Investing over 20 billion yuan ($3.09 billion), China's science and technology community has implemented 37,600 sci-tech projects at different levels, and promoted more than 50,000 advanced and practical technologies.
In Wuyi County, east China's Zhejiang Province, a demonstration base of fungus cultivation was established under the assistance of a research team headed by Cai Weiming, a researcher with Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Over 20 production lines have been built at the base, benefiting more than 90 percent of fungus farmers in the county and increasing their income by over 100 million yuan.
Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) Deng Xiuxin promoted a new planting technology in Zigui County, central China's Hubei Province, which effectively expanded the picking time of fruits, making Zigui County one of the orange production areas in China that enjoy the longest supply period. This technology alone has increased 30 percent of income for local farmers.
Panam is a county situated 4,000 meters above the sea level in Shigatse, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. It enjoyed over 10 consecutive years of harvest of highland barley due to sufficient sunshine and large temperature difference. However, the income of local residents is still average due to the stable price of highland barley.
Zhang Ming, an expert of vegetable growing who went to Panam to assistance from Jinan, east China's Shandong Province, led local farmers to grow fruits and vegetables by improving soil and introducing new varieties. After years of development, the county is now home to over 10,000 greenhouses where 140 varieties of fruits and vegetables are grown. Covering a planting area of 933 hectares, these greenhouses generate annual revenue of 200 million yuan.
In October 2018, Panam County was officially removed from the poverty list. Over 4,000 residents have grown rich by planting vegetables or fruits.
As a Chinese saying goes, it's better to pass on fishing skills than to hand out fish. China's science and technology community also launched sci-tech training programs and science popularization projects in rural areas to stimulate farmers' potential for self-development.
Academician Zhu Youyong of the CAE started a sci-tech training program with his team in Lancang County, southwest China's Yunnan Province to pass on professional agricultural skills to impoverished residents. Villager Ma Zhengfa, who signed up for two courses of potato and orchard planting, has not only increased his income, but also led 10 other registered impoverished families to get out of poverty.
According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, the central government of China has allocated a total of 2.14 billion yuan since 2014 to cultivate sci-tech personnel in former revolutionary base areas, ethnic minorities areas, border areas and impoverished areas, training a total of 20,000 people.

The statistics have led to pressure on the Government from road safety groups to take tougher action.
Until now the Department for Transport had been willing to rely on persuasion and was mounting another publicity campaign in the hope of convincing a hard core of drivers who refused to belt up. However, it signalled its readiness to take tougher action in a review of road safety strategy.
The department said it was ready to consider "making non-compliance with seat belt wearing an endorsable offence". One option available to ministers would be to follow the example of Northern Ireland, where drivers can get penalty points on their licence if they are not wearing a seat belt but passengers failing to do so are fined.
In the rest of Britain, motorists and passengers over 14 can be fined £30 for not wearing a seat belt. A driver is also responsible for any passenger 13 or under.
The case for taking stronger action has been bolstered by casualty figures that show that the number of car occupants being killed is declining far slower than the number of pedestrians.
While the death toll of pedestrians was 33 per cent lower in 2006 than the average for 1994-98, the figure for drivers fell by only five per cent and passengers 14 per cent.
"Seat belts save lives yet even now a small minority refuse to buckle up," said Robert Gifford, the executive director of the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety. "On current estimates around 300 lives could be saved a year if wearing rates both front and back were raised to nearer 100 per cent.
"Not wearing your seat belt puts both the driver and passengers at risk. Increasing the penalty would send a clear message to all drivers that a seat belt is not an optional extra but a life saver."
Proposals for the change were also endorsed by Brake, the road safety charity.
"Something has to be done to get at the last group of people who are unconvinced about the need to wear seat belts," said Cathy Keeler, the charity's head of campaigns.
"People are being killed because they failed to belt up. For these people education is not enough, some form of deterrence is necessary."
But the proposals were condemned by the Association of British Drivers. "Why don't they just give us nine points as soon as we get a licence?" said Hugh Bladon, a spokesman.

The content of circuits and Arduino sketches can vary greatly. Before you get started, there is one simple process for uploading a sketch to an Arduino board that you can refer back to.
Follow these steps to upload your sketch:
 1. Connect your Arduino using the USB cable.
 The square end of the USB cable connects to your Arduino and the flat end connects to a USB port on your computer.
 2. Choose Tools→Board→Arduino Uno to find your board in the Arduino menu.
 You can also find all boards through this menu, such as the Arduino MEGA 2560 and Arduino Leonardo.
 3. Choose the correct serial port for your board.
 You find a list of all the available serial ports by choosing Tools→Serial Port→ comX or /dev/tty.usbmodemXXXXX. X marks a sequentially or randomly assigned number. In Windows, if you have just connected your Arduino, the COM port will normally be the highest number, such as com 3 or com 15.
 Many devices can be listed on the COM port list, and if you plug in multiple Arduinos, each one will be assigned a new number. On Mac OS X, the /dev/tty.usbmodem number will be randomly assigned and can vary in length, such as /dev/tty.usbmodem1421 or /dev/tty.usbmodem262471. Unless you have another Arduino connected, it should be the only one visible.
 4. Click the Upload button.
 This is the button that points to the right in the Arduino environment. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+U for Windows or Cmd+U for Mac OS X.
Now that you know how to upload a sketch, you should be suitably hungry for some more Arduino sketches.

\eqalignno{ 0 & ={ \left [B\right ]}_{r{d}_{ℓ}} & &\text{@(a href="#definition.RREF")Definition RREF@(/a)} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{m}{δ}_{ rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{k{d}_{ℓ}} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{{r}^{′} }{δ}_{rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{k{d}_{ℓ}} +{ \mathop{∑ }}_{k={r}^{′}+1}^{m}{δ}_{ rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{k{d}_{ℓ}} & &\text{@(a href="fcla-jsmath-2.12li69.html#property.AACN")Property AACN@(/a)} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{{r}^{′} }{δ}_{rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{k{d}_{ℓ}} +{ \mathop{∑ }}_{k={r}^{′}+1}^{m}{δ}_{ rk}(0) & &\text{@(a href="fcla-jsmath-2.12li69.html#property.AACN")Property AACN@(/a)} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{{r}^{′} }{δ}_{rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{k{d}_{ℓ}} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{{r}^{′} }{δ}_{rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{k{d}_{ℓ}^{′}} & & & & \cr & = {δ}_{rℓ}{\left [C\right ]}_{ℓ{d}_{ℓ}^{′}} +{ \mathop{∑ }}_{\begin{array}{c}k=1 \\ k\mathrel{≠}ℓ \end{array}}^{{r}^{′} }{δ}_{rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{k{d}_{ℓ}^{′}} & &\text{@(a href="fcla-jsmath-2.12li69.html#property.CACN")Property CACN@(/a)} & & & & \cr & = {δ}_{rℓ}(1) +{ \mathop{∑ }}_{\begin{array}{c}k=1 \\ k\mathrel{≠}ℓ \end{array}}^{{r}^{′} }{δ}_{rk}(0) & &\text{@(a href="#definition.RREF")Definition RREF@(/a)} & & & & \cr & = {δ}_{rℓ} & & & & }
Now examine the entries of row r of B,
\eqalignno{ {\left [B\right ]}_{rj} & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{m}{δ}_{ rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{kj} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{{r}^{′} }{δ}_{rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{kj} +{ \mathop{∑ }}_{k={r}^{′}+1}^{m}{δ}_{ rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{kj} & &\text{@(a href="fcla-jsmath-2.12li69.html#property.CACN")Property CACN@(/a)} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{{r}^{′} }{δ}_{rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{kj} +{ \mathop{∑ }}_{k={r}^{′}+1}^{m}{δ}_{ rk}(0) & &\text{@(a href="#definition.RREF")Definition RREF@(/a)} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{{r}^{′} }{δ}_{rk}{\left [C\right ]}_{kj} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{{r}^{′} }(0){\left [C\right ]}_{kj} & & & & \cr & = 0 & & & & }
So row r is a totally zero row, contradicting that this should be the bottommost nonzero row of B. So {r}^{′} ≥ r. By an entirely similar argument, reversing the roles of B and C, we would conclude that {r}^{′} ≤ r and therefore r = {r}^{′}. Thus, combining the first three steps we can say that D = {D}^{′}. In other words, B and C have the same pivot columns, in the same locations.
Fourth Step. In this final step, we will not argue by contradiction. Our intent is to determine the values of the {δ}_{ij}. Notice that we can use the values of the {d}_{i} interchangeably for B and C. Here we go,
\eqalignno{ 1 & ={ \left [B\right ]}_{i{d}_{i}} & &\text{@(a href="#definition.RREF")Definition RREF@(/a)} & & & & \cr & ={ \mathop{∑ }}_{k=1}^{m}{δ}_{ ik}{\left [C\right ]}_{k{d}_{i}} & & & & \cr & = {δ}_{ii}{\left [C\right ]}_{i{d}_{i}} +{ \mathop{∑ }}_{\begin{array}{c}k=1 \\ k\mathrel{≠}i \end{array}}^{m}{δ}_{ ik}{\left [C\right ]}_{k{d}_{i}} & &\text{

Juha Vierinen's project GCS, GNU Chirp Sound
"The GNU Chirp Sounder is a software defined radio based receiver for monitoring ionospheric sounders (ionosondes) and over-the-horizon radars that use linear frequency sweep FM-CW transmissions. The software is based on gnuradio and relies on Ettus research USRP2 and USRP N210 based digital receivers. The receiver can be used to receive the whole HF band (typically at 25 MHz bandwidth) simultaneously, and to receive multiple sounders simultaneously. The current receiver can be used to perform single or dual polarization (channel) soundings. The dual channel recorded can be used to determine the polarization form vertical soundings, or for angle of arrival measurements. Multiple independent receivers could also be used for imaging purposes."

Many people assume that they can simply 1) buy a house, 2) apply a fresh coat of paint, 3) trim some bushes, and then 4) resell the home at a profit. Unfortunately, this process, called "flipping" is not that easy. After all, if it were, everyone would be doing it.
There are several skills and people that every potential investor/flipper should have in place before even considering entering into a real estate transaction of this nature. In this article we'll look at the top five "must-haves" you'll need to succeed in this endeavor.
1. A Group of Experts
While a house flipper can certainly go it alone, it will certainly help to retain individuals that are familiar with the legal, accounting and construction ramifications of flipping houses.
Flippers typically work against the clock, so they must renovate a home on budget and then turn it around and sell it before the financing costs eat up their profits. In any case, a bevy of experts including a real estate agent, an attorney, a contractor or renovator, an accountant, a home inspector and an insurance agent can ensure that the work is completed in a timely and efficient manner.
Watch: Flipping Properties
2. A Handyman or Knack for Home Improvement
The house flippers that make the most money buying and selling homes tend to be handy people. That is, they have the ability to step in and lend a helping hand when time or money constraints kick in. Most flippers can do things like change a sink, install a countertop, do basic electrical or plumbing work, and/or shingle a roof.
Why is being handy so important?
The obvious answer is that if you can do the work yourself, you won't have to pay someone to come in and do it. However, there are other advantages to being handy as well. For example, there are times when it will be impossible to get an electrician to install an attic fan on short notice. There are also times when a job must be completed without warning at the last second in order to obtain a certificate of occupancy. In these instances, having the ability to navigate your way around a tool box is very valuable.
3. A Good Lay of the Land
The buyer should know about the area in which they are buying property. A buyer should know, for example, what characteristics (acreage, number of rooms, type of home, etc) are the most desirable in the area in which they are looking to buy. Equally important is knowing what houses in the general vicinity have sold for and if there is likely to be any future development in the community (such as a new school, condominium or shopping center) as this could affect supply and demand.
4. A Good Estimator
By definition, house flippers attempt to buy a property and then resell it at a profit in relatively short order. In order to do this, however, the flipper must typically make some structural and/or cosmetic changes to make the property more appealing to the next buyer.
If the flipper underestimates the costs associated with the refurbishment he or she may be exposed to large monetary losses. Therefore, a flipper should be familiar with construction materials (their use and their cost), as well as local construction codes, the cost of local labor and the time it should take to do a given job.
This is no small feat. In fact, it takes even the most seasoned construction professional many years before he or she is aware of all the nuances that exist. In any case, before becoming involved in "flipping", be certain of your abilities to estimate a job in terms of both cost and time. (To decide what needs to be done, see Fix It And Flip It: The Value of Remodeling.)
5. A Dose of Patience
One of the biggest obstacles to making money in the real estate market is that buyers tend to overpay for a given property.
Why do buyers overpay?
Typically, buyers become emotionally attached to a property or develop some other bond with it, which in turn forces them to enter into a contract on less than favorable terms.
However, savvy flippers have the ability to avoid emotional purchases, and the desire to find diamonds in the rough and properties on the cheap. They also understand that if they aren't buying a property at a favorable price and with favorable terms, it makes sense to simply move on to greener pastures.
The bad news is that patience is a difficult virtue to teach and hone. In general, either you have it or you'll lose a lot of money trying to learn it. (To read more about choosing the right house, see Smart Real Estate Transactions and Investing In Real Estate.)
Bottom Line
While quitting your job and becoming a full-time house flipper may sound like an attractive proposition, be sure that you have these five "musts" before investing in a real estate project.

mase, (a form of conjugation).
Walking on the street, various different types of expressions are heard --- those who are living here naturally became to ignore words without special meanings, but those who are visitors tend to pick up much more. Here is a such example: a student walking besides me asked what does it mean with ませ in いらっしゃいませ. As we have enough time to expand a discussion, so I brought up the topic of verb conjugations and how it works in the word ます.
It is always a sensitive judgement as how much grammatical discussion is necessary for a language learner. However, I am a believer that it is not only useful but essential for an university student to always realise language rules behind expressions.


How to Make XJ40 Jaguar Internal Door Levers
1,751
6
3
In this tutorial I will be making a small part on the MakerBot 2. This is a piece that frequently breaks inside the doors of the XJ40 Jaguar cars and renders the doors useless. Since this lever is an integral part of the whole door lock mechanism and is also riveted in place, any breakage renders the whole door unusable.
I made it at TechShop Chandler, techshop.ws.
I took the broken piece out of the door mechanism by grinding the rivet end off. I glued the two halves together so I can have a working model.
The original piece is probably made out of molded nylon and after about 20 years inside a hot door they had become brittle. The original design was rather thin in the critical areas and had no radius to reinforce the webs. I had originally drawn the part as designed and later added thickness and radiuses to the critical areas where stress is concentrated. I saved the part as a *.stl, so it can be interpreted by the majority of 3D printers on the market. The TechShop Chandler has three brand new MakerBot 2 machines and they have proprietary software for maneuvering the part to suit the working environment and the user. On fine resolution the part takes 80 minutes to make on the low end it is only 60 minutes.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1:
The part was originally drawn in Solidworks exactly as the original then manipulated to get a sturdier design but with the same external critical dimensions. The end result was saved as a SLT file and then imported in the Maker Bot Software. The same results can be had by drawing the part in Inventor.
For some reason when I imported the file it appeared on its side. Using the "Rotation" tools on the left side of the screen it was rotated 90 degrees and put flat and in contact with the plate. At this step it can be made to move around the plate closer to the other corners as some areas of the tape may be damaged in the center where everybody puts their parts. Also it is very important that the part is in contact with the plate and not suspended in the "air"
Step 2:
The next step is to set the parameters for the actual making of the part. The original first "issue" part was set for 2 Shells and 10% fill just to get an idea if the part is what I want. The final part should be done with 1 Shell and 100% fill. More than 1 shell actually creates a separation between shells and the fill and in this case that is not desirable as all the strength possible is needed for this part. Supports and rafts are also added and the fine resolution is checked. By checking the preview you can get an estimate of how long it will take for the part to be made. This part had 147 layers and will take 80 minutes. Click EXPORT and after a brief computation the file is ready for the SD card that goes in the Makerbot.
SD cards that will work in the Makerbot are limited to 2 GB in size and need to be formatted for FAT 16, otherwise they are not readable by the Makerbot.
Step 3:
Here are the parts side by side. The original weighs 8 grams and the copy is 7.4 grams probably due to the different plastic composition. It is difficult to find a way to stress the part properly other than installing it in the original door mechanism, but I tried to break it with my hands (I'm 6'4) every which way and was not successful.
Step 4:
This is my first instructable an I am not sure if it will create much interest, however if you are a XJ40 owner you are probably all ears by now. The door locks from a salvage yard are hard to find intact and even so, the parts are so well "cooked" that they will probably break again while in your door :(
This is a new part and should last many years of service
The same technique can be used to make any number of small car parts as long as they fit on the Makerbot building Plate.
The filament used is PLS and the color was "natural".
Hope this helps somebody

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 'No Load Speed'?
The maximum speed a cordless drill driver can reach without a load (when it's not driving screws or drilling holes).
Manufacturers give the tool's speed at no-load because once the drill driver begins driving screws or drilling, its maximum speed will vary depending on how demanding the task is.
A cordless drill driver's speed will be presented as a number followed by 'RPM'. The higher the number, the higher the tool's maximum no-load speed.


Erasmus Verbindt
The university-wide student initiative Erasmus Verbindt (Dutch for 'Erasmus Connects') explores, strengthens and intensifies the relationship between the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) and the city of Rotterdam. With this initiative, EUR-students want to actively contribute to the translation of academic insights into societal improvement.
How can we ensure that challenges, knowledge and information from the city and its region continue to find their way to our university? And how do we ensure that academic insights reach those very places in the city where they can generate a positive impact? That is the core of Erasmus Verbindt (EV) and the main focus of our interdisciplinary student teams. At the university, EV is linked to various research and education initiatives, study associations, and a number of related projects that are part of the university's Strategy 2020-2024 agenda. In the city we closely collaborate with our societal partners, such as the municipality of Rotterdam (Gemeente Rotterdam) and the regional broadcasting agency (Omroep Rijnmond).
Erasmus Verbindt operates on the basis of a network and connection method through which we, as a student community, aspire to build bridges between the university and the city in a smart and meaningful way. We do this in three closely intertwined tracks that allow us to explore, strengthen and intensify the relationship between the university and the city of Rotterdam.
These three tracks each center around a specific domain: Metropolitan Challenges, Social Inequality, Sustainability, and Health. Within these domains, EUR-students will search for meaningful connections between socially engaged scholars at the EUR and Rotterdam's many diverse inhabitants, initiatives and organisations that are committed to a better, fairer, greener and healthier Rotterdam.
In doing so, we aim to inspire, support and learn from each other. As such, we strive towards building future-proof networks, in which the academic community of the EUR is closely intertwined with the city of Rotterdam, so that we may grow collectively to face the many challenges that lie ahead together.
This is Erasmus Verbindt
Dieuwertje Bravenboer
"Our university is part of Rotterdam. By working together and making new connections, we can come up with innovative solutions to the big societal challenges ahead of us. As a university-wide student initiative, Erasmus Verbindt fits in well with the strategy of our university. I am pleased that our students are participating and are rolling up their sleeves with this initiative in order to explore, strengthen and intensify the relationship with our city. In this way, we work together as a community to create a positive social
impact." -
Prof. Dr. Rutger Engels (until 1 January 2021 Rector Magnificus)
 - At Erasmus Verbindt we firmly believe that advanced students - from all faculties - have acquired enough knowledge, insight and skill to broadly understand the challenges that contemporary society faces. This ability to orientate provides the foundation for the search for meaningful connections between the university and the city. The interdisciplinary approach taken by our teams, mirrors the complexities that characterize today's rapidly evolving societal challenges.
 We consider students to inhabit a unique position, granting them the potential to play an important role in strengthening connections between academia and society. Students take on an active position in the scientific and academic community, where they closely engage with scholars and academics. Simultaneously, many students also actively participate in the daily realities of Rotterdam as a city where they work, study, and live. These circumstances allow students to continuously navigate the complex territories between the university and the city. The student community of the EUR in all its diversity is exceptionally rich in terms of organisational capacity, networks and brainpower. By mapping and merging these factors intelligently, Erasmus Verbindt aims to make valuable contributions to the university and to the city of Rotterdam.
In practice
Erasmus Verbindt works in three steps, which we refer to as 'tracks', which together make up the main body of EV. The first step is to explore the existing relationships between the university and the city, in a podcast series produced in collaboration with regional broadcasting agency Omroep Rijnmond – called Stadswandelingen (Dutch for 'City strolls').
In step two, Erasmus Verbindt will actively search for new connections between academia and stakeholders in the city. Under the title of 'Erasmus in dialogue with...', four interdisciplinary teams of students will explore new meaningful ways of exchanging knowledge and perspectives in a series of gatherings, meetings and events.
In the third and final step, we will focus on establishing concrete collaborations and sustainable partnerships, converging the knowledge and insight of students and academics with the practical skills and experience of societal stakeholders. In this track, titled 'Joint Forces', societal challenges are interwoven with educational programmes at the EUR.
 - 'City strolls' (Stadswandelingen) is a podcast series that explores the relationship between Rotterdam and its university. While strolling through the city, we will initiate and record conversations with involved city inhabitants, stakeholders, and EUR-academics, exploring urgent and interesting urban questions from different perspectives.
 An important goal for the podcast is bringing to light the contemporary challenges facing Rotterdam in a widely accessible format. At the same time, the series will function as a portrait of the countless ways in which the university and the city of Rotterdam are already intertwined.
 - 'Erasmus in dialogue with…' (Erasmus in gesprek met) is a series of meetings and events that strengthen the relationship between the city and the university by creating new connections. Within the EV-domains – Sustainability, Metropolitan Challenges, Social Inequality and Health – four interdisciplinary teams of students work asconnectorsbased on a method that consists of three components:
 1. Based on their own background and expertise, the students primarily contribute to the (network) analysis of complex Rotterdam problems, building on the knowledge and experience of our academic and urban partners. They map out what these problems entail, where they are located, and who is associated with them. Which institutions, organisations, individuals etc. are committed to a greener, better, fairer and healthier Rotterdam? And who would benefit from being assisted by students and academics from the university?
 2. In a parallel process, the teams map out socially relevant EUR research. Which EUR scientists do valuable research within the given context? Who would be willing and able to enter into a conversation in the city? And who would benefit from coming into contact with those who, in practical terms, are closely linked to their research area?
 3. The last step is for the students to organise meaningful meetings between these two worlds. During these 'events', the main focus will be on exchanging contiguous and mutually reinforcing perspectives on specific issues. These encounters have multiple functions. Scientists will gain knowledge, inspiration, and information from the interactions with the daily reality within their research field. Simultaneously, the relevance of academic research and knowledge increases when it is put into practice. Our interlocutors and stakeholders in the city benefit as well by gaining valuable insights that can be used in the daily struggles with complex challenges. Also, the students who act as facilitators and organizers will gain valuable experiences whilst contributing to a better city. Ultimately, the meetings form the basis for more resilient networks. This will ensure that we are able to find each other when needed. Because together we are stronger and together we are smarter.

 - In 'Joint Forces' (Gebundelde krachten) we focus on taking the next step: developing concrete collaborations and sustainable partnerships with the aim to strengthen and intensify the relationship between the EUR and the city of Rotterdam. In this track, students commit themselves – under the guidance of EUR academics – to partners in the city with whom they will face complex challenges as part of their academic education. At the university this will be implemented by means of internships, impact driven courses and graduation projects. In the city, this will take the form of local research projects and written policy advice. In this way, students will learn to take social responsibility during their studies. They will learn to look beyond their disciplinary and academic boundaries and to act responsibly in the complex social reality in which they will be active as alumni.
 We are looking for ambitious students!
 Erasmus Verbindt is looking for motivated, ambitious students to enforce the Track 3 team! As a team you will play an important role in bringing societal challenges into the education of EUR. Your collective job consists of researching, selecting and contacting societal stakeholders in order to create meaningful assignments for your fellow students. Furthermore, the team focuses on further expanding our EUR-network of befriended faculties and teachers, in order for us to be able to integrate the assignments properly into the education system.

While the exact years that one enters middle age is uncertain, the spelling is very definite.
Middle age, a noun that means someone is about 40 to 65 years old, is two words (like ice cream) with no hyphen. For example: At the end of middle age, most people's children have left home.
When using the word as an adjective – such as middle-aged – the hyphen appears, though. For example: Los Angeles has many middle-aged singles bars.
And with that, we can retire the issue of spelling of these two words for good.
Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. Whether you come from a big city like Albuquerque, New Mexico, or a small town like Mud Butte, South Dakota, I can provide that second eye.

Explain "Event-Driven" Web Servers to Your Grandma
You've heard the term event-driven, event-based, or evented when it comes to web servers. Node.js is based on evented I/O. nginx is an asynchronous event-driven web server.
But what does the term mean? Here's an easy way to think about it.
Let's think of a web server as a pizza shop that needs to take orders over the phone (requests for web pages).
Traditional Web Server
The pizza shop hires operators (processes/threads) to take orders over the phone. Each operator has one phone line. After the operator is done taking the order, the operator keeps the customer on the line until the pizza (response web page) is done baking and then tells them it's ready to pick up.
So the pizza shop needs to hire as many operators as the number of pizzas that may be baked at once in order to serve all customers who call in.
Event-Driven Web Server
The pizza shop only hires one operator, but has trained the operator to hang up after taking the order, and call the customer back when the pizza is ready to be picked up.
Now one operator can serve many customers.

Ecodan Refurbishment Case Study
The low carbon alternative to traditional boilers
A four bedroom house in Bedfordshire is the first home in the UK to benefit from the new, revolutionary Ecodan heat pump. As a result CO2 emissions from the home's heating system were reduced by 50% and the overall carbon emissions from the property by an impressive 34%..
Built in 2000, the four bedroom detached house
has double glazed windows as well as loft and
wall insulation. The existing heating system was
previously run by an 80% efficient gas boiler
providing 23.2kW of heat output from an input of
29kW. Based on the existing radiators it was calculated that the total heat output of the radiators was 13.4kW under standard boiler conditions with
a flow temperature of 70ºC and the hot water demand of the home totals 140 litres per day.
Using the Ecodan heat pump, the heat load of the house was calculated to be 8kW. Operating at a flow temperature of 55ºC the heat output of the radiators will be 8.4kW, confirming that Ecodan is fully capable of meeting the heating demand of the house, using the existing radiators. In addition, one area of the house was changed to under floor heating.
When comparing the existing gas boiler to using
Ecodan to provide domestic space heating
and hot water, the reduction in CO2 emissions
from the home are startling. The Ecodan with a
seasonal COP of 3.4 emits 0.13kg of CO2 per
kW of heat provided to the house, compared to the 80% efficient gas boiler, which emits 0.24kg of CO2.
This works out to 1,619kg of CO2 emitted per year when using Ecodan, as opposed to a massive 3,040kg of CO2 using the existing gas boiler. This clearly demonstrates a reduction of 50% with the help of Ecodan.
The annual gas bill to operate the existing gas boiler was £560. The estimated electricity running costs of the Ecodan are £358, which represents a saving of £202 (36%) per year.

How do seahorses die?
Because of their body shape, seahorses are rather inept swimmers and can easily die of exhaustion when caught in storm-roiled seas.
What is the life expectancy of a seahorse?
In the wild, the lined seahorse has a lifespan of one to four years; however, in captivity their lifespan usually reaches the full four years. Four years is the maximum age reported for the species.
What is the longest living seahorse?
ingens has evolved to thrive in the cooler waters of our coast, inhabiting the sea grass beds and calm waters of our bays and estuaries. This seahorse species is the largest and longest lived in the world, with full grown adults measuring 12 inches and living up to six years.
Are seahorses hard to keep alive?
Though unique in their care needs, seahorses are surprisingly easy to keep (and even breed) if they are maintained in the proper type of fish aquarium system, kept with appropriate tankmates, and offered the right kinds of fish food. Most of all, they can be extremely rewarding to observe and care for.
Can seahorses hurt you?
With their slow, gentle demeanors and curlicue tails, seahorses might seem like the most harmless, unassuming creatures under the sea. But they're actually one of the most deadly.
Do seahorses fall in love?
Swimming side by side and holding tails, seahorses engage in a ritual of love that is both fascinating and magical. In the name of love, these animals engage in a spectacular display of courtship. The male may spend days courting his truly beloved as the two swim tail in tail in a harmonious and majestic fashion.
Do seahorses eat their babies?
In fact, some species of seahorse can give birth to more than 1,000 babies at once! That's right, males sometimes eat their own babies. It's tough being a baby seahorse. Of the hundreds of babies that the male gives birth to, only one or two will survive to become adults and have babies of their own.
What happens if a seahorses mate dies?
It's up to the male to carry those eggs until they're ready to be born. It is said that sea horses die of love. Once a mate dies, the other sea horse doesn't take long to die afterwards, since they can't live without one another.
Can you touch a seahorse?
Do not touch seahorses — period Touching, moving or manipulating animals in order to get the perfect image can cause abrasions or even break parts of their body. The researchers suggest that divers (and photographers) keep a minimum distance of 14 inches (36 cm) from seahorses to reduce stress to the animals.
What happens if you touch a seahorse?
Do not touch seahorses — period Seahorses exhibited a strong stress response when they were physically manipulated by photographers. Touching, moving or manipulating animals in order to get the perfect image can cause abrasions or even break parts of their body.
Can males get pregnant?
Is it possible? Yes, it's possible for men to become pregnant and give birth to children of their own. In fact, it's probably a lot more common than you might think.
How long do seahorses usually live in captivity?
The average life span in the wild for a seahorse ranges from 4 to 6 years. It is much less for those in captivity due to stress, poor conditions, and the high risk of disease. You can tell the difference from the males and females by looking at the abdominal area.
What is the lifespan of a seahorse?
Seahorses are small fish with a life span of one to five years. The seahorse life cycle includes males that get pregnant, which is as extreme as it gets for male parental care in the animal kingdom.
What is the average length of a seahorse?
Seahorses range in size from 1.5 to 35.5 cm (0.6 to 14.0 in). They are named for their equine appearance with bent necks and long snouted heads followed by their distinctive trunk and tail.
Why is the Sea Horse threatened?
However, seahorses are considered threatened around the world, largely from over-harvesting for traditional Chinese medicines, unintended capture in fish trawl nets, and the loss of natural habitats such as seagrasses and mangroves.

When it comes to programming in Java, choosing the right font can make a big difference in your coding experience.
A font that is too small or difficult to read can lead to eye strain and fatigue, while a clear and legible font can help you focus and work more efficiently.
Are you looking to spice up your Java code with bold and beautiful font colors? We will explore the world of Java font colors and how they can be used effectively to make your code stand out. We will cover everything from understanding fonts and FontMetrics to utilizing the Font Class Constructors.
Along the way, we'll also delve into implementing colors in Java, common mistakes to avoid when using font colors, tips for customizing them, and which Java font color is best for you. To top it all off, we'll provide examples of how to use font colors in Java that are sure to impress. So buckle up and prepare for a colorful journey through Java fonts!
How To Using Java Font Colors Effectively
To effectively use Java font colors, it is recommended to select colors that complement your website's branding instead of the primary keyword 'Java font colors'. Using contrasting colors, such as text on a light background or vice versa, for better readability is necessary.
But one should avoid employing too many different font colors leading to a cluttered website. Furthermore, considering the emotional response different colors evoke in users is critical. Finally, testing various color schemes helps decide which works best for your design and audience. Other secondary keyterms include 'background color,' 'text color,' 'serif,' 'italic,' 'font styles,' and more.
For example, if you wanted to change the text color of a JLabel object to red, you would use the following code:
JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World");
Using the Color constructor, you can also create custom colors by specifying the red, green, and blue values. Remember that choosing appropriate colors is important for readability and accessibility purposes. It's always a good idea to test your color choices with different backgrounds and lighting conditions to ensure they are easy on the eyes.
Understanding Fonts And Font Metrics
Fonts are an essential component of a website or application design. Java offers an array of default fonts, while you may create new ones with font files. The Font Metrics class details size, spacing, and alignment for fonts.
With the Font class's numerous constructors, you can opt for various styles and sizes of fonts. Appropriate use of font colors can increase readability while highlighting crucial data. When picking the right font style and color, it helps to consider branding and platform uniformity.
Utilizing The Font Class Constructors
You can utilize the Font class constructors to specify font family, size, and style in your Java program. Additionally, to set the color of the text in a font, you can use the Set Color() method. You can specify colors using RGB values or pre-defined constants in the Color class. These features allow you to create visually stunning and attention-grabbing designs for your user interfaces or graphics applications.
Implementing Colors In Java
When implementing colors in Java programs or applications like HTML and XML files or operating systems like Linux or Windows 95, it's crucial to understand how the built-in Color class works. You can easily set the default or new font color by setting the foreground or background color with methods like setText() or setBackground().
Additionally, you could use different font styles, which would be useful while designing different components of your project. The default font used on most Java programs is a serif, but you can change it according to your liking. Overall when designing an application, you should always consider picking appropriate fonts and color schemes.
Console Output Of Font And Color
Console output in Java can be customized using font colors, making your application or program more visually appealing and easier to read. There are various ways of incorporating colors in Java console output, but one of the most popular methods is using escape sequences with the System.out.println() method.
These escape sequences can be combined to create different colors for text in the console. For instance, "\u001B[31m" changes the font color to red, while "\u001B[32m" changes it to green. Testing your code in different environments is essential, as not all consoles support font colors.
Utilizing XML To Implement Colors
Developers can utilize XML to implement customized color schemes for their Java applications. The flexibility of using XML markup language allows for the easy creation of complementary color schemes that can be altered with ease in the future.
Consistency in the application's use of colors will improve its usability and aesthetic appeal. Using these techniques, developers can take their Java program to new heights while providing users an engaging experience.
Common Mistakes In Using Font Colors
To ensure that your readers are not distracted from your content while using Java Font Colors, avoid committing common mistakes; use a consistent color scheme throughout the website or document so that it does not look clumsy.
Also, refrain from relying only on colors to convey information, as some users may have visual impairments. Instead of starting with the primary key term 'Java Font Colors', ensure that your text contrasts well with the background color for better readability. Testing your font colors on various devices and screens will guarantee they appear just like you envisioned.
Tips For Customizing Java Font Colors
Customizing Java font colors requires careful consideration of the color scheme to create a visually appealing and cohesive design. It's important to consider the contrast between the background and font color for readability purposes.
While using bright colors can be useful for emphasis, using them sparingly and strategically is essential. Testing your color choices on different devices and browsers is recommended to ensure they appear as intended in all circumstances. Following these guidelines, you can create an aesthetically pleasing user interface that complements your overall design.
Which Java Font Color Is Best For You?
The best Java font color for you depends on your project's overall design and purpose. Consider the background color and ensure that the font color provides sufficient contrast for readability. Bright colors can be useful for emphasis but should be handy sparingly. Experiment with different color schemes and test them on various devices to determine which works best for your project.
Examples Of How To Use Font Colors In Java
Using font colors effectively in Java can add visual appeal and emphasis to your text. To make your text stand out, try using contrasting colors that work well together or color-coding different types of text. Bold and bright colors can also be handy strategically but should be handy sparingly. It's essential to consider the emotional impact of your color choices and test them across multiple screens and devices for optimal legibility.
In addition, understanding fonts and font metrics, implementing colors through AWT or XML, avoiding common mistakes while using font colors, and customizing font styles are all crucial aspects of using font colors in Java effectively. Experiment with different fonts, sizes, and styles like italics or bold to create a unique look without compromising readability.
To sum up, using Java font colors can give your application a unique and attractive look. Understanding fonts, font metrics, and the Font class constructors is essential. Implementing colors in Java can be done differently, including console output and utilizing XML.
To avoid common mistakes while using font colors, it's important to customize them effectively based on your requirements. Different Java font colors have different meanings, so choosing the right one is essential. Our blog provides examples of how to use font colors in Java for the best results. Start exploring the world of bold and beautiful Java font colors today.

Meteorologists predict that a severe winter will come in the next two months, while it is possible that in March there will be snow in Greece.
Forecasters warn that we'll have to "get our winter clothes and coats out of the closet" if we haven't already done so due to Diomidis' recent bad weather. In fact, cold weather is expected at least until the end of March.
According to meteorologists, in January we will see "polar cold" almost throughout Greece, even on the plains snow will fall. The forecast, in fact, portends bad weather with sub-zero temperatures (or around 0°C) until early February.
There will be a lot of snow this winter. Precipitation will fall periodically, until mid-March. However, already from March 15 we will see several warm days, but then showers are expected until early May.
January 15-21: The weather will show clear signs of improvement with rising temperatures and sunny days ("Alcyonides").
January 22-28: after a break in the previous few days, the weather is expected to worsen.
January 29-31: further and more general deterioration of the weather, the main symptom of which is cooling. Snowfall is expected in the mountains at low altitudes and even in the lowlands of Greece.
February will also be snowy. During the month the weather will be changeable.
In March, bad weather will continue until the 20th day of the month, with short breaks and an increase in air temperature. From March 21 to March 31, except for rains, thunderstorms and storms, it will be possible to see snow again.
The same scenario continues from 1 to 5 April. The bad weather will recede, but from 6 to 13 April the weather will be rainy. The same applies to the period from 14 to 20 April (warming with precipitation and heavy winds).

 Four coordination polymers including, [Co(μ-Htbip)2(μ-dib)]n (1), [Co(μ-tbip)(μ-dmib)0.5]n (2), [Zn2(μ-tbip)(μ3-tbip)(μ-dmib)1.5]n (3) and [Cd(μ3-tbip)(μ-dib)0.5 (H2O)]n (4) (tbip: 5-tert-butylisophthalate, dib: 1,4-bis(imidazol-1yl)benzene, dmib: 1,4-bis(imidazol-1yl)-2,5-dimethylbenzene), were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The structural diversity is observed depending on ligands and coordination number of metal centers in the synthesized complexes. The tbip ligand displayed five different coordination modes in its complexes. In 1 and 2, complex 1 is 3D framework with the dia topology while complex 2 has 2D structure with the sql topology depending on coordination geometries of Co ions. Complex 3 is 3D framework with the fsh 4,6-conn topology and complex 4 has 2D 4-connected sql topology. Photoluminescent properties of complex 3 dispersed in various organic solvents were investigated and the results showed that 3 dispersed in methanol could be used as a fluorescent sensor for the detection of acetone. Moreover, thermal and optical properties of the complexes were also studied.

 The title compound, C{sub 23}H{sub 26}F{sub 2}N{sub 2}O{sub 4}, is a dipeptidic inhibitor of γ-secretase, one of the enzymes involved in Alzheimer's dis@@ease. The mol@@ecule adopts a compact conformation, without intra@@molecular hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, one of the amide N atoms forms the only inter@@molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond; the second amide N atom does not form hydrogen bonds. High-resolution synchrotron diffraction data permitted the unequivocal location and refinement without restraints of all H atoms, and the identification of the characteristic shift of the amide H atom engaged in the hydrogen bond from its ideal position, resulting in a more linear hydrogen bond. Significant residual densities for bonding electrons were revealed after the usual SHELXL refinement, and modeling of these features as additional inter@@atomic scatterers (IAS) using the program PHENIX led to a significant decrease in the R factor from 0.0411 to 0.0325 and diminished the r.m.s. deviation level of noise in the final difference Fourier map from 0.063 to 0.037 e Å{sup −3}.

A National Strategic Narrative is an Opportunities-Based View of America
By: Rebecca Byers - Published: Feb 24, 2012 • References: and
Military strategists Naval Captain Porter and Col. Mykleby of the Marines present their paper 'A National Strategic Narrative,' which incorporates their unique view for a renewed American foreign policy informed by their experience working at the highest level of government.
After being asked to write a paper on their vision for a national strategy, the two men found themselves shifting focus several times and eventually decided to steer away from the strategies that surrounded them. They shifted their focus to "the momentum and trajectory of the nation, where we are now and where we want to go now." Naval Captain Porter and Col. Mykleby of the Marines describe their vision as aiming to go beyond 'threat and risk,' in favor of an opportunities-based, hopeful view for the future of America. The paper centered on two principles: prosperity and security.
'A National Strategic Narrative' became a fascinating collection of their progressive ideas, which focused less on military force and more on social capital and sustainable energy and agricultural.

Abstract
The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the difference in physical activity among elderly living in different areas in Japan ("Bunkyo Ward in Tokyo" (Bunkyo) and "Fuchu City in Tokyo" (Fuchu) as urban areas, and "Oyama Town in Shizuoka" (Oyama) as a non-urban area). Participants were 1859 community-dwelling residents aged 65-74 years, randomly selected from the residential registry (response rate: 68.9%). A mail survey using self-administered questionnaires was conducted. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of various types of physical activity (eg, walking (Walking), going out (Going-out), bicycling (Bicycling), exercise habits (Exercise)), according to residential areas (reference category: Fuchu), stratified by gender, adjusting for socio-demographic variables. There was a significant difference in Going-out (ORs = 0.61 (95% CI: 0.44-0.86) for men, 0.48 (0.33-0.69) for women)), and Bicycling (0.04 (0.03-0.07) for men, 0.04 (0.02-0.07) for women) in Oyama compared to Fuchu. Furthermore, for women, there was a significant difference in Walking (0.56 (0.38-0.81)) and Exercise (0.59 (0.41-0.85)) in Oyama compared to Fuchu. There was a significant difference in Bicycling and Going-out for men in Bunkyo compared to Fuchu, but there was not a significant difference in other items. Low physical activity levels were observed in the elderly in the non-urban area compared to urban areas. The association was stronger in women. Regional difference might need to be taken into account for an effective physical activity intervention.
