To Be or Not To Be: How Do You Know Whether Ser or Estar Is Correct?
This is a very common question we hear from students learning Spanish, and not just beginners. Spanish has more than one verb where English has only "to be," and that can be confusing. Sometimes it's very clear which verb you should use, but not always.
This article will help clear up the basic difference between these two verbs. I'll start with the most common uses, where there is usually no problem in identifying when to use ser and estar correctly.
Use this verb when you are describing anything – a person, object, feeling, event, etc. – and talking about its essential characteristics. And by essential, I do mean its essence: the characteristics of a person or thing that are more or less permanent require the use of the verb ser. Here are some examples.
Physical characteristics of things:
Physical characteristics of people: body type (tall, short, thin, blonde, brunette)
Professions and occupations (teacher, student, doctor, lawyer, etc.)
Geographic or ethnic origin (she is Colombian, or she is from Colombia)
Example: "Antonio ES colombiano, ES de Bogotá. Antonio ES alto, moreno y delgado, él ES un abogado comercial. Antonio ES una buena persona"
Use this verb instead when you are referring to:
A status or mood: you should also use estar when you're talking about the condition of a person or thing. This includes how you would respond when asked a question about "how" someone or something is, for example:
- ¿Cómo estás? Estoy bien
- La mesa está sucia (dirty)
- Pedro está feliz (happy)
The physical location of either a person or a thing: whenever you're talking about positioning, it's easy to know that you should use estar. This includes any time you want to say things like:
- My parents are at home – Mis padres están en casa
- The book is on the desk – El libro está en el escritorio
- My house is in New York – Mi casa está en Nueva York
Exception: When you are talking about where an event is taking place, you will use verb ser. For example: La fiesta es en la casa de Ana, la clase es en el aula 104.
"Arturo ESTÁ en su oficina ahora, él trabaja hasta muy tarde. La esposa de Arturo ESTÁ en casa y sus hijos ESTÁN en la universidad ahora. Arturo ESTÁ muy cansado por el trabajo, su esposa ESTÁ feliz porque tienen una nueva casa en Florida, la casa ESTÁ muy cerca a la playa. Los hijos de Arturo ESTÁN muy ocupados con los exámenes de la universidad. Ellos SON muy estudiosos"
Here as you can see, we use verb ESTAR always when we talk about location and status or moods, however at the end of the paragraph we use verb SER to mention Arturo's kids characteristics, they are very studious.
Ser o Estar?
But, sometimes the use of either verb can be correct, depending on what the person really wants to express. Are you talking about a characteristic or about a status?
Compare, for example:
"Pedro ES delgado." Pedro is thin: this is a physical characteristic. We are describing Pedro's body type, which is permanent or would only change gradually.
"Pedro ESTÁ Delgado." Pedro is thin now; it seems like he's lost weight. We are noting a change in condition, a difference in status, not a more or less permanent characteristic.
You get the difference?
Now compare in a conversation between Pedro and Miguel:
M: Pedro, ERES delgado! (Pedro, you are thin)
P: Si, lo sé, SOY delgado. (yes, I know, I am thin)
M: Pero Pedro, ESTÁS delgado (But Pedro, you look thinner)
P: Si, estoy a dieta, perdí 5 kilos, ESTOY delgado. (yes, I'm on a diet, I lost 5 kilos. I am thinner)
Another example:
"Esa flor ES amarilla." That flower is yellow, which is its inherent characteristic. This could be a sunflower or daffodil.
"Esa flor ESTÁ amarilla." That flower is yellow: it looks that way now. This mean its status: for instance, the flower is dying, has had too much sun, or needs water.
Like these cases we have many, others just change the meaning completely, but I would say the key to understand when to use each one is: essential characteristics use SER, while status, condition, and location use ESTAR.

Lesson Weekend
Now that we can successfully save data from our MyRestaurants application into Firebase, how do we retrieve that data when we need it? Remember, again, that unlike in a SQL database we cannot pinpoint data in the same way we can with a RDBMS - instead, we identify data through changes to a certain node, or reference point. In this lesson we'll learn how to create and implement listeners that will deliver updated database information directly to our app.
Listeners and Snapshots
Firebase utilizes listeners to watch for changes in a specified node. It is similar to an event handler in the sense that a code is triggered based on a certain circumstance. In our case, whenever changes in that node's data occur, the listener automatically provides the application updated data, called a snapshot. The application can then use information from the snapshot to update the UI.
This differs drastically from the request/response model we've used in the past, such as requesting information from Yelp's API. The request/response format requires our application make new request threads to regularly check for new data from the data source. When using listeners, Firebase only sends updates to our app when data changes.
Similar to OKHttp, the Firebase SDK handles all threading and asynchronicity for us, too! We just need to determine what data we'd like to listen to, and what to do when the listener returns new data.
Types of Listeners in Firebase
There are several types of Listeners for Firebase, and each Listener type has a different kind of callback that is triggered when the listener is activated.
ValueEventListener: A ValueEventListener listens for data changes to a specific location in your database - i.e a node. ValueEventListener has one event callback method, onDataChange() to read a static snapshot of the contents at a given path, as they existed at the time of the event. This method is triggered once when the listener is attached and again every time the data, including children, changes. The event callback is passed a snapshot containing all data at that location, including child data. If there is no data, the snapshot returned is null.
If the Event can not be completed, a second callback method, onCancelled() is called.
ChildEventListener: A ChildEventListener listens for changes to the children of a specific database reference, for example the root node of a database. It has the following callback methods:
onCancelled(DatabaseError error)
// This method will be triggered in the event that this listener either failed at the server, or is removed as a result of the security and Firebase rules.
onChildAdded(DataSnapshot snapshot, String previousChildName)
 // triggered when a new child is added to the location to which this listener was added.
onChildChanged(DataSnapshot snapshot, String previousChildName)
 // triggered when the data at a child location has changed.
onChildMoved(DataSnapshot snapshot, String previousChildName)
// triggered when a child location's priority changes.
onChildRemoved(DataSnapshot snapshot)
// triggered when a child is removed from the location to which this listener was added.
For your own apps that require data persistence, it is a good idea to read through the additional documentation on ValueEventListener (read both the guide and reference) and ChildEventListener read the reference
Make sure you understand the difference between event listener types and when they are used - alone, or in combination.
Creating a ValueEventListener
Let's add a ValueEventListener to MyRestaurants. We'll include code that logs data from our searchedLocations node in Firebase whenever changes occur (such as when we add a new location):
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
 private DatabaseReference mSearchedLocationReference;
 ...
 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 mSearchedLocationReference = FirebaseDatabase
 .getInstance()
 .getReference()
 .child(Constants.FIREBASE_CHILD_SEARCHED_LOCATION);//pinpoint location node
 mSearchedLocationReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() { //attach listener
 @Override
 public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) { //something changed!
 for (DataSnapshot locationSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
 String location = locationSnapshot.getValue().toString();
 Log.d("Locations updated", "location: " + location); //log
 }
 }
 @Override
 public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) { //update UI here if error occurred.
 }
 });
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 ButterKnife.bind(this);
 ...
...
Here, we define a Firebase DatabaseReference object called mSearchedLocationReference and pass it the child key of the searchedLocations node (as covered in this lesson). Then, we call addValueEventListener() on our mSearchedLocationReference object to attach a new ValueEventListener (which we provide as a parameter).
As mentioned above, ValueEventListeners have two methods that must be overridden; onDataChange() and onCancelled():
To recap:
 - onDataChange() is called whenever data at the specified node changes. Such as adding a new zip code. It will return a dataSnapshot object, which is essentially a read-only copy of the Firebase state.
 - onCancelled() is called if the listener is unsuccessful for any reason. We won't add any code here right now, but could in the future.
In our onDataChange method we'll snag the values returned in the dataSnapshot, loop through each of the children with the getChildren() method, and print their values to the logcat. Other methods we can call on a dataSnapshot include .child() and .getKey().
Each time a new location is added it will be saved to our searchedLocations node, which will trigger our ValueEventListener to provide an updated list of locations to our app. When our app receives these locations, it will log them to the logcat. Here, we can see several locations logged to the logcat:
logging-event-listener-data
And, if we search for yet another zip code, we can see there are now more locations logged. The listener recognized changes in the searchedLocations node, and automatically sent the updated information to our app. Pretty cool!
logging-event-listener-data-again
Removing Event Listeners
When creating valueEventListeners, it's important to consider how they should be handled while the user is not actively interacting with our application. In its current state, when a user navigates away from MyRestaurants, our listener will continue to listen for changes in Firebase. As you can imagine, continually listening will eat away battery life, and eventually can cause memory leaks.
Let's remove our listener when the user quits interacting with the activity. To do this, we'll declare and attach a variable name to the listener itself, so we may instruct our app to destroy it when the user quits the activity:
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
 ...
 private ValueEventListener mSearchedLocationReferenceListener;
 ...
 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 mSearchedLocationReference = FirebaseDatabase
 .getInstance()
 .getReference()
 .child(Constants.FIREBASE_CHILD_SEARCHED_LOCATION);
 mSearchedLocationReferenceListener = mSearchedLocationReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
 @Override
 public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
 for (DataSnapshot locationSnapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren()) {
 String location = locationSnapshot.getValue().toString();
 Log.d("Locations updated", "location: " + location);
 }
 }
 @Override
 public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
 }
 });
 ...
 @Override
 protected void onDestroy() {
 super.onDestroy();
 mSearchedLocationReference.removeEventListener(mSearchedLocationReferenceListener);
 }
 ...
}
In the code above, we declare the member variable mSearchedLocationReferenceListener and assign it to the


What is/was the first specie of fish in the world?
Had been it the actual Salmon, the actual Tuna, had been it your shark, was it truly is or had been it your wale…What was the first specie connected with fish in the worldThank an individual!
Haikouichthys appeared to be apparently the first fish.It has been around since during this Cambrian explosion inside the early Cambrian Period it truly is still definitely not clear precisely what fish had been first then again.
One of several other probable candidates were being Ostracoderms, the first vertebrate.We were holding jawless fish and journeyed extinct close to the end with the Devonian Period.
Sharks are regarded as have come into existence over the Silurian Period but data dates them returning to the late Ordovician Time.
Oh well, that changes it a lttle bit.
The Hagfish goes 550 trillion years towards earlier Cambrian but is not really exactly considered a species of fish.
The Coelacanth has become the oldest, or even the most seasoned fish living today.
well very first the whale may be a mammal, and definitely the greatest living which they alive today will be the colecath, the actual hag sea food, and the actual mega mouth shark, as for freshwater might be gar loved ones, and the actual minnow family
First of all, a whale is not a fish its your mammal.
In line with what I believe in, there definitely is oh dear to explain to because Lord created every one of the fish together, and some of them would are extinct long ago.

Territorial abbey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Territorial abbot)
Jump to: navigation, search
The coat of arms of a territorial abbot are distinguished by a green galero with twelve tassels and a gold crozier with a veil attached.
A territorial abbey (or territorial abbacy) is a type of particular church within the Roman Catholic Church.
Normally an abbot is the superior of an abbey (a monastery), and exercises authority over a religious family of monks. His authority extends only as far as the monastery's walls, or only to the monks who have taken their vows in his monastery. A territorial abbot - also called an abbot nullius diœceseos, Latin "belonging to no diocese", or abbreviated abbot nullius - functions additionally as the ecclesiastical ordinary for the Catholics and parishes within a defined territory around the monastery, in much the same way a bishop does for a diocese.
The practice arose in part because abbeys served the spiritual needs of Catholics who lived near the monastery, especially in mission territories. The monastery's own chapel was a space of public worship for the laity who had settled nearby, and the monks could also serve as parish clergy in churches near the monastery. The abbot of the monastery, although having received only the priesthood in the sacrament of Holy Orders, was invested with the same administrative authority under canon law as a diocesan bishop for a given territory around the abbey. Thus, with the exception of conferring ordination on priests, the territorial abbot could do almost everything a diocesan bishop would for those under his care, including incardinate (that is, enroll under his jurisdiction) even non-monastic priests and deacons for service in parishes. The territorial abbot, like other abbots and archabbots, had the right to use an episcopal coat of arms and to wear the mitre, the crosier, the ring, and the pectoral cross; if the abbot had been ordained to the episcopacy (very rare), he had the power to ordain his religious who were candidates to the transitional and permanent diaconate and to the priesthood, though they usually had to attend a seminary house of formation located outside the abbot's territory.
Though territorial (like other) abbots are elected by the monks of their abbey, a territorial abbot can only receive the abbatial blessing and be installed under mandate from the pope, just as a bishop cannot be ordained and installed as ordinary of a diocese without such a mandate.
After the Second Vatican Council, more emphasis has been placed on the unique nature of the episcopacy and on the traditional organization of the church into dioceses under bishops. As such, abbeys nullius have been phased out in favor of the erection of new dioceses or the absorption of the territory into an existing diocese. A few ancient abbeys nullius still exist in Europe, and one in Korea.
List of territorial abbeys[edit]
There are 11 remaining territorial abbeys, as listed in the Annuario Pontificio of the Vatican:
In Italy the following abbeys have been united with a diocese:
In other European countries:
 - Cluny (in Burgundy; now united with the Diocese of Autun) is the only one in France. Historically Cluny was the mother house of the Congregation of Cluny as a result of the Cluniac monastic reform of the 11th century, primarily in that it removed many Benedictine abbeys under its jurisdiction from local feudal allegiances (hence establishing their independence) and had new ones founded. It became extremely rich and influential within and beyond the Church.
Historically there have been more, such as

Index of particular element
Knowing the index (x,y,z) of a specific element in a NumPy array can be helpful for visualizing the array, such as plotting a line or point at the location of the element. There are various methods to determine the index using NumPy. In this thread, we will discuss some methods of how we find the index of the specified element of an array.
1. Using "argpartition()" and "unravel_index()" :
One way to find the (x,y,z) index of the specified element in a NumPy array is to use the argpartition() function. It takes two arguments: the array to be partitioned, and the index of the element we want to find. It returns the indices that would partition the array into the desired order. For example:
After finding indices, we then take the first 100 indices using slicing, and find the index of the last element in the resulting array using the unravel_index() function.
 - unravel_index(indices, shape) function that takes a flat index or an array of flat indices and returns the corresponding tuple of multidimensional indices.
This gives us the index of the 100th element in the array.
2. Using "argsort()" function:
 - The argsort() function in NumPy is used to perform an indirect sort on an input array, which means it returns an array of indices that would sort the input array. It takes an array as input and returns an array of indices that would sort the input array along the specified axis.
For example, to find the index (x,y,z) of the 100th element is by using the argsort() function.


JavaScript 高级技巧 Memoization
memoization 来源于拉丁语 memorandum ("to be remembered")，不要与 memorization 混淆了。
首先来看一下维基百科的描述：
In computing, memoization or memoisation is an optimization technique used primarily to speed up computer programs by storing the results of expensive function calls and returning the cached result when the same inputs occur again.
简单来说，memoization 是一种优化技术，主要用于通过存储昂贵的函数调用的结果来加速计算机程序，并在再次发生相同的输入时返回缓存的结果。
本文首先介绍一个简单的使用 memoization 优化技术的例子，然后解读 underscore 和 reselect 库中使用 memoization 的源码，加深理解。
阶乘
不使用 memoization
不假思索，我们会立即写下如下的代码：
const factorial = n => {
 if (n === 1) {
 return 1
 } else {
 return factorial(n - 1) * n
 }
};
使用 memoization
const cache = []
const factorial = n => {
 if (n === 1) {
 return 1
 } else if (cache[n - 1]) {
 return cache[n - 1]
 } else {
 let result = factorial(n - 1) * n
 cache[n - 1] = result
 return result
 }
};
使用 闭包 和 memoization
常见的方式是 闭包 和 memoization 一起搭配使用：
const factorialMemo = () => {
 const cache = []
 const factorial = n => {
 if (n === 1) {
 return 1
 } else if (cache[n - 1]) {
 console.log('get factorial(${n}) from cache...')
 return cache[n - 1]
 } else {
 let result = factorial(n - 1) * n
 cache[n - 1] = result
 return result
 }
 }
 return factorial
};
const factorial = factorialMemo();
继续变形,下面这种编写方式是最常见的形式。
const factorialMemo = func => {
 const cache = []
 return function(n) {
 if (cache[n - 1]) {
 console.log('get factorial(${n}) from cache...')
 return cache[n - 1]
 } else {
 const result = func.apply(null, arguments)
 cache[n - 1] = result
 return result
 }
 }
}
const factorial = factorialMemo(function(n) {
 return n === 1 ? 1 : factorial(n - 1) * n
});
从阶乘的这个例子可以知道 memoization 是一个空间换时间的方式，存储执行结果，下次再次发生相同的输入会直接输出结果，提高了执行的速度。
underscore 源码中的 memoization
// Memoize an expensive function by storing its results.
_.memoize = function(func, hasher) {
 var memoize = function(key) {
 var cache = memoize.cache;
 var address = '' + (hasher ? hasher.apply(this, arguments) : key);
 if (!_.has(cache, address)) cache[address] = func.apply(this, arguments);
 return cache[address];
 };
 memoize.cache = {};
 return memoize;
};
代码一目了然，使用 _.memoize 来实现阶乘如下：
const factorial = _.memoize(function(n) {
 return n === 1 ? 1 : factorial(n - 1) * n
});
参照这个源码，上面的阶乘继续可以变形如下：
const factorialMemo = func => {
 const memoize = function(n) {
 const cache = memoize.cache
 if (cache[n - 1]) {
 console.log('get factorial(${n}) from cache...')
 return cache[n - 1]
 } else {
 const result = func.apply(null, arguments)
 cache[n - 1] = result
 return result
 }
 }
 memoize.cache = []
 return memoize
}
const factorial = factorialMemo(function(n) {
 return n === 1 ? 1 : factorial(n - 1) * n
});
reselect 源码中的 memoization
export function defaultMemoize(func, equalityCheck = defaultEqualityCheck) {
 let lastArgs = null
 let lastResult = null
 // we reference arguments instead of spreading them for performance reasons
 return function () {
 if (!areArgumentsShallowlyEqual(equalityCheck, lastArgs, arguments)) {
 // apply arguments instead of spreading for performance.
 lastResult = func.apply(null, arguments)
 }
 lastArgs = arguments
 return lastResult
 }
};
从源码可以知道当 lastArgs 与 arguments 相同的时候，就不会再执行 func。
总结
memoization 是一种优化技术，避免一些不必要的重复计算，可以提高计算速度。

Cleaning Up the Butte Fire Destruction
Calaveras County, CA — The CalRecycle-Calaveras County Butte Fire Debris Removal Project is putting boots to the ground to start removing toxic materials from the devastated areas.
The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) on Wednesday will deploy teams to remove household hazardous waste, conduct asbestos assessment, and take soil samples in the fire's footprint. The crews are targeting the western portions of Jesus Maria Road and southern portion of Mountain Ranch Road with other areas to follow. The primary focus is to evaluate hazardous waste such as asbestos and remove household hazardous waste such as paints, batteries, electronic wastes, and propane tanks under 30 gallons, according to Calaveras County Director of Environmental Health Jason Boetzer. He shares that nearly 600 properties have already been visited by his office to assess the situation.
To get the toxic waste removed, residents need to sign a "Right of Entry" permit to allow the teams on their property. Boetzer says 250 residents have already signed up and he urges other victims to do the same saying, "A lot of times people don't have enough insurance to pay for the full costs of the cleanup, and then for those people that don't have any insurance, this is fully funded. We want to make sure that individuals are not just loading up the ash and hauling it to a landfill — but that it's handled properly and we're protecting our community during this cleanup process." Boetzer adds that landfills are not taking this debris and anyone caught dumping it illegally could faces legal action. As previously reported, for residents who prefer to do their own cleanup there is a certification process and equipment available through the county.
For question regarding the cleanup, contact the Calaveras County Environmental Health at _PHONE_. Click here for an entry permit.

Part of the village of Rytkuchi remained without electricity for several hours. And in the northernmost city of Russia, strong waves destroyed part of the embankment. The cause was a storm operating on the territory of the city district of Pevek, reports IA "Chukotka".
Melting permafrost and severe erosion have plagued the community for decades. The most recent storm brought waves so fierce, the water claimed roughly half of the 80 or so remaining feet of land that stands between the back end of the school and the edge of the Ningliq river.
Forecasters say they are expecting significant coastal erosion from Utqiagvik to Unalakleet from the second severe-weather event to hit the region in three weeks.
Kivalina has long dealt with climate change-driven erosion. While the village didn't feel the effects of heavy flooding, residents are wary of a future with heavy autumn storms.
The erosion of the Old Russian Cemetery from the impacts of the storm Merbokis also an unfinished process. The earth is actively moving, falling onto the beach bit by bit and sometimes in large chunks every day, to reach a state of stabilization after the storm.
Shaktoolik has lost its berm to the storm that's hammered Western Alaska over the weekend, according to Mayor Lars Sookiayak. The berm was all that protected the small village from the sea. "It really saved us from the first hit that came in this morning," one resident said.
A storm that hit Southcentral Alaska on Saturday night led to flooding in Girdwood, a landslide on the Sterling Highway and left thousands of homes without power throughout the region on Sunday morning. More than a foot of rain fell in Girdwood by Sunday.
"This year we had a lot more rain than other years, we used to be able to get on our ATVs and travel 10-12 miles upriver. I haven't seen or heard of anyone using ATVs to travel upriver this year. I think the breakthrough channel has a lot to do with us not being able to travel on ATVs. I see a lot of my favorite ATV fishing spots washed away from the highwater."
Similar to the last storm that hit the region earlier this month, there is hardly any sea ice in the Bering Sea to minimize the damage to coastal areas.
A surge in the popularity of hillwalking during this year's coronavirus pandemic has seen daily visitor numbers at Ben Lomond grow from 1,000 on a normal sunny weekend to around 2,000. Walkers leaving official paths to avoid other people is causing hillside erosion and damage to vegetation.
Late last week a strong Bering Sea storm hit the region, bringing winds up to 50mph, blowing snow, and high-water. Some communities saw significant erosion while others were mostly unscathed.


The Risky Business of Specimen Recovery

Wulfenite pocket
It took 18 hours and special tools to remove this wulfenite pocket without damaging its crystals. (Evan Jones specimen - Photo courtesy Bob Jones)
Story by Bob Jones
More often than not, when a crystal pocket is opened during mining, it contains loose crystals that have somehow detached from the matrix. There is any number of reasons for this to happen. Frost can be very destructive to near-surface crystal pockets. In pegmatite deposits, a pocket explosion can scatter crystals hither and yon. Open crystal pockets can be assaulted by hot solutions, which can etch or otherwise damage crystals.
Earthquakes undoubtedly play some role in pocket destruction. The normal activity of mining in hard rock, using explosives, is the most destructive of all.
In some cases, mining is done specifically to extract specimens for resale, and mining methods have to been designed to preserve the integrity of the crystals as they are being uncovered. This specimen mining requires costly modern equipment and techniques to achieve success.
Non-Invasive Mine Exploration
To begin with, before the wall rock in an old mine tunnel is actually breached, it can be examined in a couple of noninvasive ways. Gold miners use powerful metal detectors to locate an area that might prove fruitful. This saves a lot of wasteful mining of barren rock, and may even avoid the use of explosives. A good example of this modern approach is the famous Dragon gold specimen, from the Colorado Quartz mine. The gold's location, hidden within a tunnel wall, was detected with a metal detector. Very careful rock removal, though time-consuming, successfully extracted an amazing, beautifully crystallized gold specimen intact.
Bob at the Tequandama mine
Me on a dig at the Tequandama mine.
Metal detectors only work on metallic mineral specimens, but there is another machine that can be used to "peer" into a solid rock wall. You've seen this machine used to locate buried bodies on TV mystery shows: It is ground-penetrating radar. This remarkable unit can scan a tunnel wall, and the readings received can be studied for any anomalies in the solid rock. These can be changes in the type of rock or joints or, hopefully, pockets. The GPR does not detect crystals as such, but it indicates possibilities worth investigating. This technique was used in the search for rhodochrosite crystals in the Sweet Home mine, in Alma, Colorado.
Once a suspected pocket, is found what next? Drilling and blasting the rock is counterproductive. Today, we have ways to crack and remove rock that are far less destructive than the good old hammer and chisel.
In the good old days of underground mining, before dynamite and steel drills, miners had a quaint way of cracking rock and extracting ore. They used fire! To break up the rock and release an ore vein, miners would pile wood against the rock face, set it on fire to heat the rock, then quench the hot wall rock with water or vinegar, which caused the rock to crack. They could then insert chisels into these cracks and break out the ore. Of course, the health hazards posed by the fumes resulting from the fires underground, where ventilation was minimal, were simply ignored.
Trade Offs in Mining
With the advent of black powder, and later dynamite, mining could proceed at a much faster rate—but there was a cost. Using explosives is not the best way to expose delicate crystals. In Cosquez, Colombia, I watched miners recover gem emerald crystals in the Tecuandama mine without using explosives. They used an electrically powered drilling machine with what looked like an auger bit in it to make holes in the rock wall. They knew they were in fruitful areas when they could see small, brown parisite crystals in the white calcite. In the Colombian emerald deposits, this rare earth carbonate is a good indicator that emeralds are nearby.
I asked my guide how much dynamite they would be loading into those drill holes, and his answer was, "None". Later, it was explained to me that they tightly pack a special material into the drill holes. In a short period of time, this material begins to expand dramatically, and the pressure of the expansion cracks the rock around the drill holes.
The miners then use levers and bars to split and dislodge chunks of calcite and, hopefully, expose the emerald crystals.
I was very lucky to be taken to another part of the mine, where emeralds had already been exposed and were being removed by using a rock pick to chip away the calcite! The result was a handful of loose emerald crystals that were worth about $50,000.
At that same mine, I was approached by a miner carrying a rather large rock. In that rock was an absolutely gorgeous, deep-green emerald about 1½ inch long. It was a real beauty.
I asked the price and was quoted $35,000 right there at the mine. The interesting and surprising part was that, when the specimen was very carefully examined, you could tell the crystal had been removed and returned to the rock, but not before a narrow strip of green foil had been slipped under the otherwise very faintly green crystal.
Changes in Specimen Extraction
It is quite amazing what techniques are now used to extract specimens undamaged from solid rock without using explosives or even hammers! Explosives are still used to remove barren rock. When approaching a vein or potential crystal pocket area, the dynamite is put aside and out comes the diamond-tipped chainsaw. The saw starts cutting into the rock, but at a considerable distance from any suspected crystal pocket. The rock is gradually cut away to expose the crystal pocket as much as possible. Then, small power drills and chippers are used to gradually loosen the section of wall rock containing the crystal pocket. The intact pocket or crystals on matrix is taken to a workshop, where careful removal of the matrix trims the rock down to a manageable size.

crystals, my son Evan Jones and his mining partner, Mark Miterman, exposed a wonderful, 6-inch-wide pocket of bright-orange-red wulfenite blades in solid rock. Any attempt to break the pocket loose would have shattered the crystals, which break like thin glass. It was obvious they could not just hammer and chisel the pocket out. The rock had to be attacked at a distance from the pocket to preserve the integrity of the wulfenite crystals. At the time, they did not have the necessary tools to attack the wall surrounding the pocket. So while one fellow slept on site, the other collector went home and got what was needed to extract a large section of wall.
Some 18 hours after first exposing the wulfenite pocket, a section of wall weighing over 50 pounds and still firmly holding that wulfenite crystal pocket was removed and muscled up a series of ladders to the surface. From there, the rock was taken to a specimen preparation laboratory, where rock was carefully removed a little at a time using a small, diamond-bladed saw, followed by a small vibration chisel. The final specimen was then air blasted, using small plastic pellets that very slowly chipped away at the rock to shape the matrix and expose the wulfenite pocket to its best advantage. Through all this, not a single wulfenite blade was cracked or broken.
Shattered and Scattered Mineral Dreams
No matter how careful miners and specimen collectors are, damage happens. I've heard horror stories of miners drilling and blasting, only to find the contents of a huge crystal pocket shattered and scattered after the blast. A most interesting example is a fine specimen of native copper, which is on display at the A.E. Seaman Museum, at Michigan Tech, with the perfect impression of the business end of a drill bit. The drill bit bored right into the copper specimen, which the miner didn't know was there!
Even an overeager rockhound using a hammer to bang away at the surrounding wall of a
pocket can create havoc on already stressed crystals in that pocket. I have been guilty of that. On a group collecting trip underground at a lead-silver mine in the Patagonia Mountains of Arizona, we were looking for Japan Law-twinned quartzes, which were found in amazing sizes in this mine. In one old mine tunnel, we came across a partially exposed crystal pocket, in which a quite large pyrite crystal was nested. I didn't even bother to examine the wall rock before bringing out the hammer and chisel. I started to work away to expose the pocket, hoping to get behind it far enough so that the crystal could be extracted. It turned out that the wall rock was garnetiferous, extremely hard and solid.
Just a couple of blows with the hammer did the damage: The vibrations were transmitted right into the pyrite, which was probably under some stress. It literally exploded into brassy shards!
On the positive side, there are some amazing stories of crystals being separated from their original matrix and reunited days or even years later. When the very attractive stalactitic azurite specimens were discovered in the mine at Morenci, Arizona, pretty much all the long, fragile fingers of goethite, beautifully decorated with bright-blue azurite crystals, had broken away from the matrix. Specimen collectors realized that these remarkable beauties could be reunited with their matrix by carefully matching up the broken ends. Several dozen superbly repaired matrix specimens were the result, and collectors were

A coupled road dust and surface moisture model to predict non-exhaust road traffic induced particle emissions (NORTRIP). Part 1: Road dust loading and suspension modelling
2013 (English)In: Atmospheric Environment, ISSN _PHONE_, Vol. 77, 283-300 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Non-exhaust traffic induced emissions are a major source of particle mass in most European countries. This is particularly important in Nordic and Alpine countries where winter time road traction maintenance occurs, e.g. salting and sanding, and where studded tyres are used. In this paper, Part 1, the road dust sub-model of a coupled road dust and surface moisture model (NORTRIP) is described. The model provides a generalised process based formulation of the non-exhaust emissions, with emphasis on the contribution of road wear, suspension, surface dust loading and the effect of road surface moisture (retention of wear particles and suspended emissions). The model is intended for use as a tool for air quality managers to help study the impact of mitigation measures and policies. We present a description of the road dust sub-model and apply the model to two sites in Stockholm and Copenhagen where seven years of data with surface moisture measurements are available. For the site in Stockholm, where studded tyres are in use, the model predicts the PM10 concentrations very well with correlations (R-2) in the range of R-2 = 0.76-0.91 for daily mean PM10. The model also reproduces well the impact of a reduction in studded tyres at this site. For the site in Copenhagen the correlation is lower, in the range 0.44-0.51. The addition of salt is described in the model and at both sites this leads to improved correlations due to additional salt emissions. For future use of the model a number of model parameters, e.g. wear factors and suspension rates, still need to be refined. The effect of sanding on PM10 emissions is also presented but more information will be required before this can be confidently applied for management applications.

The European Parliament published its Texts Adopted which includes the provisional versions of the texts on 10 March 2015 of the Regulation on European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIF Regulation). The ELTIF Regulation now needs to be formally adopted by the Council of the EU. It will enter into force 20 days after it is published in the Official Journal of the EU (OJ) and is expected to apply six months after it has entered into force. ELTIFs are vehicles designed to boost non-bank investment in the real economy across the EU. ELTIFs will facilitate investors to invest into companies and projects that need long-term capital. Long-term capital and finances tangible assets (such as energy, transport, communication infrastructures, industrial and service facilities, housing and climate change technologies), as well as intangible assets (such as education and research and development). The ELTIF Regulation lays down uniform rules on the authorisation, investment policies, and operating conditions of EU AIFs that are marketed as ELTIFs.
ELTIFs will have to apply for authorisation, have a regulated structure and comply with uniform rules to ensure that they offer long-term and stable returns. The ELTIF Regulation provides that ELTIFs are not to be invested in speculative assets, and that any retail investors putting money into them are properly informed and protected. ELTIF investors will have to make a long-term commitment as they will not be able to withdraw their money easily. However, to protect retail investors, the Parliament and the Council of the EU agreed "redemption" rules that would enable an ELTIF that has enough liquid assets to return an investor's money at the investor's request.

Thoughts on "Posible: SPED Students' Pursuit of the Arts", a Documentary Presented by Special Achievers
By Clari _USER_
During the quarantine last year, more and more people turned to online streaming specifically to Netflix. There was a time that my social media feed was full with a list of the best documentaries. I have watched a few, but I did not review or share any in this blog.
But over the weekend, I was able to watch a documentary which I feel needs to be seen by everyone. It's called "Posible: SPED Students' Pursuit of the Arts", a 45-minute documentary presented by Special Achievers.
The Documentary
The Special Achievers is a non-profit, non-stock and non-government organisation that helps children and youth with disability (CYWD) through the programs they created. They currently have two - Mentorship and Expression. The former provides free tutorials and training in arts, music, and sports while the latter focuses on promoting the works and talents of CYWDs who excel in a particular craft or skill.
In the said documentary, Special Achievers ran the Mentorship program by preparing five courses - dance, music, visual arts, creative theatre and chocolate-making for 35 special education (SPED) students of San Antonio National High School in Makati City. The NGO brought in professionals from each field to discover the strengths, talents and train the SPED students for four months.
The Reality
Did you know that 16 per 1000 Filipinos have disabilities? And for those with disabilities, many of them are within 5 to 19 years old. Karen Ann Navarro, Occupational Therapist and co-founder of Special Achievers shared a world report on disability at the beginning of the documentary.
"A disability is not just because there is a part of the body missing or intellectual deficits. There is also a disability because there's a negative attitude towards it. There is a limitation set by the people around them."
The last part is quite sad, but it is the truth. Indeed, society placed limitations. As mentioned in the documentary, there are limitations in inaccessibility, employment, rehabilitation, education and opportunities. Whether done unconsciously or not, people with disabilities are not given fair treatment even in the Philippines.
Busting Stereotypes
I wonder. Are people aware of this negative mindset and its effects? We all indeed have different thoughts and reactions towards something we can not comprehend. But placing stereotypes, especially on people with disabilities, is the by-product of ignorance.
With "Posible: SPED Students' Pursuit of the Arts", Special Achievers was able to point out that limitations are nothing. SPED students are capable of overcoming any hindrance. They are capable of doing anything they put their mind to. Take John Michael Brecino, one of the students, for example. During the interview, he said some words that uplift the soul.
" My two purposes are to show all the people what I can do and to inspire people like me to do the things I am doing. I hope they do not hesitate to go out of their comfort zone, because if you do not go out of it, what will happen to you? Nothing."
The film was able to document the SPED students journey as they break their barriers and the ones set by society. Moreover, their mentors kept on complimenting each SPED student's attitude during the training. No matter the disability, the SPED students are attentive, cooperative; not to mention, eager to accept the knowledge their mentors are sharing with them.
From Why to Thank you
Presented in the first few minutes of the documentary are interviews of the parents. Some of them uttered the word, why. They recalled that they used to ask themselves, "Why is it like that? Why did it happen to me?" Now, they no longer question God but instead say thank you.
Thank you is an expression of gratitude that was uttered numerous times in the documentary. Do you know who said those words a lot? The SPED students who took part in the program. Sure, it is a simple expression and easy to say compared to I'm sorry. But these children are genuinely thankful. They are not ashamed to say it out loud with a smile on their face.
How about you? What are you thankful for in life? And as part of society, have you opened your eyes and your heart yet?
Through this documentary, we can see that anything is possible. As part of society, I believe it is also possible for us to remove limitations. We have the power to create more choices and opportunities for every being.
With that, I urge you to watch "Posible: SPED Students' Pursuit of the Arts", a documentary presented by Special Achievers. The funds raised from this documentary will support the NGO's ongoing art mentorship program for SPED students.

School children at a rural Hawke's Bay school have been studying the dry summer weather that was this week tipped to become the worst drought in the region in 50 years.
Room 3 at Poukawa School have been studying the conditions that have turned their southern Hawke's Bay farmland "golden, instead of green".
Classroom teacher Jill Simons said the students wrote poems as part of their writing lessons, as the view outside the classroom windows could no longer be ignored.
"Some of the kids live on farms and we have a rural school and it is just very golden out there," she said.
"This is something that's really struck us and it does affect some of them."
The classroom assignment was part of learning to be "explorers of the world" where children examined and questioned their own environments.
Hawke's Bay Regional Council last week announced it was preparing a report on drought conditions for Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy.
The Miserable Drought
Summer is here as dry as ever
Everyone's cautious of the weather
All the farmers have left are bales of hay
For the following March, April and May
The farmers are desperate for lots of rain
But all they get is the smoky dry pain
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday too
Dry as ever
How about you?
- Declan O'Brien, 9
As the sun creeps across the horizon, the grass shrivels up for another day of drought.
While the birds are wailing for rain, the cicadas are chirping of happiness.
Water is replaced by dry artwork-like cracks.
As crumbly as a Christchurch building, the dirt is ready to swallow me up.
- Hannah Roberts, 9
Tiny golden cracks form, little ants weave their way through.
The only thing alive is the green weeds.
The ground is hard, golden, instead of green.
Cracked instead of lush green grass.
A huge lion nestles and acts instead of the fertile green Poukawa hills I'm used to seeing.
Patches and patches of golden pine smelling grass.
Cows are looking for some green grass searching but not finding.
Wondering where is the green? That is what I'm wondering too!
This sure is a drought.
- Libby Bush, 10

Interactive paper tearing
We propose an efficient method to model paper tearing in the context of interactive modeling. The method uses geometrical information to automatically detect potential starting points of tears. We further introduce a new hybrid geometrical and physical-based method to compute the trajectory of tears while procedurally synthesizing high resolution details of the tearing path using a texture based approach. The results obtained are compared with real paper and with previous studies on the expected geometric paths of paper that tears. Keywords: paper tearing, virtual paper, developable surfaces, modelling, animation.

IF comets share the same birthplace and if that birthplace is homogeneous, they should be as smoothly uniform as well-mixed cake batter. Those assumptions underlie the prevailing theories of comets' origins, but a recent study has turned up what appears to be a lump in the batter.
In an analysis of the spectra, or chemical fingerprints, of nearly a score of comets, one called Yanaka (1988r) turned out to be drastically depleted in two charged carbon molecules: C2 and cyanide. "The comet is really totally different from the others," said Dr. Uwe Fink of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory of the University of Arizona in Tucson. He reported the study in the current issue of the journal Science.
Dr. Fink's findings may modify the prevailing theories of the origin of comets. One theory is that comets formed at the same time as the planets of the solar system. Another hypothesis is that they formed from interstellar clouds and were captured by the solar system as it moved through space. Both theories assume that the comets coalesced from a uniform molecular milieu.

The Yi archives refer to books and documents written in Yi language, the native language of an ethnic group located in Southwest China and parts of Southeast Asia. As a writing tradition in the peripheral area, Yi archives have been historically ignored and annihilated by the mainstream Han culture. Social revolutions in the past half century brought large-scale deconstruction of both the archives and the Yi language. The tiny survival collections in Yunnan, either public or private, are now facing further serious preservation conditions due to lack of necessary fund and effective means. Preservation of the Yi archives in Yunnan before they disappear forever is the focus of this project.
The unsurpassable significance of the Yi archives for the study of Yi people and Yi culture exists in that they are the only available written resource in the native Yi language, in addition to their extraordinary richness in contents. The Yi language, first appearing in the 14th century, had been actively spoken and written among aboriginal people until the sharply social changes in the middle 20th century. All of the Yi archives are written, kept and disseminated by bimo, the ritual priests, scribes and intellectuals in the traditional Yi society. The Yi archives are therefore also referred to as the Bimo Sutra. Since they cover epic, chronology, philosophy, politics, history, ritual, geography, calendar, divination, literature, music and more, the archives are regarded as the encyclopaedia of Yi people.
The Yi archives gradually became endangered in the 20th century and the deconstruction process has even accelerated in past decades. First of all, the Yi language itself has become an endangered or extinct language since the mid 20th century, resulted from increasingly contacts with Chinese during the modernization process. Most of Yi people have adopted Chinese as their first or the only language. The native Yi language is preserved only in distant or isolated locations. Secondly, as the writer, keeper and educator, bimo were deprived of the rights of writing and teaching due to ideological conflicts, and the native knowledge tradition of Yi people was terminated in the 1960s and 1970s. The Yi archives developed over six centuries was brought to an end. Although bimo have been partly allowed to restore their religious activities since the 1980s, the writing tradition has never been restored. Third, the physical characteristics of books and documents as woodblock printing or handwriting on rice paper determines that their life cycle is very short, especially when the preservation condition is far from ideal.
Due to neglect, poverty and incapability in archival preservation of the native Yi people, and ignorance and annihilation by zealous revolutionists, the size of the Yi archives shrank dramatically in the middle and late 20th century. A recent preliminary investigation shows that only about 4,000 volumes survive in the world.
Of the surviving Yi archives, the largest public collection and most of private collections are preserved in Yunnan, especially in the Chuxiong Autonomous Prefecture of Yi People. Besides 1,400 volumes in public collections formed since the 1980s, another 900 volumes are estimated to be held by private parties, especially by descendants of bimo families. However, in regards to both preservation and readiness for academic purpose, the Yi archives in Yunnan need the most urgent attention. There hasn't been any positive treatment applied to prevent the aging and mildew process, nor has any image conversion work been done, nor has any material been published before. Our pilot investigation shows that only around 40 volumes in the public collection are mounted, and most books are even unaffordable to be stored in desirable spaces. Written on perishable rice paper in fading mineral pigment, Yi documents will be illegible in several years' time if no preservative action is taken immediately. Neglect resulting from poverty will lead to fatal disaster to the archives.
In the proposed project, the two major tasks are: (1) a thorough registration of Yi archival collections before they disappear silently, and (2) the digitisation and indexing of all available public and private archives. In the former, since the private collections are not as stable as the public, the project will pay extra attentions to the private collections, in order to keep an updated and complete record of the available Yi archives. The Institute of Studies on Yi Culture, the owner of the largest Yi archives in the world, has eagerly expressed the willingness to join the project. The Bureau of Cultural Affairs is also providing access to small public collections of Yi archives in Wuding, Shuangbai and other counties. Relocation is not included in this stage, but will be pursued later by searching matching funds from the local government.
This project has fully achieved its stated objectives:
A thorough investigation of endangered Yi archives in Chuxiong, Dali, Kunming, Yuxi and Honghe was undertaken and a detailed field report and preliminary research completed. An interdisciplinary and multimedia Yi archives was produced and the field reports and research monographs are planned to be published in a series on endangered archives supported by Sun Yat-sen University.
The Yi archives include:
The records copied by this project have been catalogued as:

Binary Golay code
Error code on the binar
Analog-to-digital signal conversion[ edit ] Frank Graywho became famous for inventing the signaling method that came to be used for compatible color television, invented a method to convert analog signals to reflected binary code groups using vacuum tube -based apparatus.
Classification of binary codes
Filed error code on the binarthe method and apparatus were granted a patent in[13] and the name of Gray stuck to the codes. Goodall, who credited Gray for the idea of the reflected binary code.
Error Correcting Codes Weighted Codes Weighted binary codes are those binary codes which obey the positional weight principle. Each position of the number represents a specific weight. Several systems of the codes are used to express the decimal digits 0 through 9. In these codes each decimal digit is represented by a group of four bits. Non-Weighted Codes In this type of binary codes, the positional weights are not assigned.
Position encoders[ edit ] Rotary encoder for angle-measuring devices marked in 3-bit binary-reflected Gray code BRGC A Gray code absolute rotary encoder with 13 tracks. Housing, interrupter disk, and light source are in the top; sensing element and support components are in the bottom. Gray codes are used in linear and rotary position encoders absolute encoders and quadrature encoders in preference to weighted binary encoding.
Это, во всяком случае, достаточно безопасно. Хилвар пожал плечами, словно слагая с себя ответственность за все, что может произойти. Теперь, когда Элвин проявлял хоть какую-то осторожность, его друг решил не признаваться, что и сам он горит нетерпением продолжать поиски, хотя и давно распрощался с надеждой встретить на этих планетах разумную жизнь. Впереди виднелся двойной мир: огромная планета и ее спутник меньшего размера.
This avoids the possibility that, when multiple bits change in the binary representation of a position, a misread will result from some of the bits changing before others. For example, some rotary encoders provide a disk which has an electrically conductive Gray code pattern on concentric rings tracks. Each track has a stationary metal spring contact that provides electrical contact to the conductive code pattern.

Together, these contacts produce output signals in the form of a Gray code. Other encoders employ non-contact mechanisms based on optical or magnetic sensors to produce the Gray code output signals. Regardless of the mechanism or precision of a moving encoder, position measurement error can occur at specific positions at code boundaries because the code may be changing at the exact moment it is read sampled. A binary output code could cause significant position measurement errors because it is impossible to make all bits change at exactly the same time.
If, at the moment the where to really make money today is sampled, some bits have changed and others have not, the sampled position will be incorrect.
error code on the binar
In the case of absolute encoders, the indicated position may be far away from the actual position and, in the case of incremental encoders, this can corrupt position tracking. In contrast, the Gray code used by position encoders ensures that the codes for any two consecutive positions will differ by only one bit and, consequently, only one bit can change at a time. In this case, the maximum position error will be small, indicating a position adjacent to the actual position.

Genetic algorithms[ edit ] Due to the Hamming error code on the binar properties of Gray codes, they are sometimes used in genetic algorithms. Boolean circuit minimization[ edit ] Error correction[ edit ] In modern digital communicationsGray codes play an important role in error correction.

This makes the transmission system less susceptible to noise. Communication between clock domains[ edit ] Main article: Clock domain crossing Digital logic binary options for mobile use Gray codes extensively for passing multi-bit count information between synchronous logic that operates at different clock frequencies.
The logic is considered operating in different "clock domains".
If one interprets the support of each subset as a codeword of length 24 with Hamming-weight 8these are the "octads" in the binary Golay code. The entire Golay code can be obtained by repeatedly taking the symmetric differences of subsets, i.
It is fundamental to the design of large chips that operate with many different clocking frequencies. Cycling through states with minimal effort[ edit ] If a system error code on the binar to cycle through all possible combinations of on-off states of some set of controls, and the changes of the controls require non-trivial expense e. An example would be testing a piping system for all combinations of settings of its manually operated valves.
error code on the binar
A balanced Gray code can be constructed, [63] that flips every bit equally often. Since bit-flips are evenly distributed, this is optimal in the following way: balanced Gray codes minimize the maximal count of bit-flips for each digit. Gray code counters and arithmetic[ edit ] George R. Stibitz utilized a reflected binary code in a binary pulse counting device in already.

Each bit of the pointers is sampled non-deterministically error code on the binar this clock domain transfer. So for each bit, either the old value or the new value is propagated. Therefore, if more than one bit in the multi-bit pointer is changing at the sampling point, a "wrong" binary value neither new nor old can be propagated.

This is similar to the advantage of Gray codes in the construction of mechanical error code on the binar, however the source of the Gray code is an electronic counter in this case.
The counter itself must count in Gray code, or if the counter runs in binary then the output value from the counter must be reclocked after it has been converted to Gray code, because when a value is converted from binary to Gray code, [nb 4] it is possible that differences in the arrival times of the binary data bits into the binary-to-Gray conversion circuit will mean that the code could go briefly through states that are wildly out of sequence.
Adding a clocked register after the circuit that converts the count value error code on the binar Gray code may introduce a clock cycle of latency, so counting directly in Gray code may be advantageous. One way to increment a Gray code number is to convert it into ordinary binary code, [66] add one to it with a standard binary adder, and then convert the result back to Gray code.

Poverty and Prosperity: A Longitudinal Study of Wealth Accumulation, _PHONE_
NBER Historical Working Paper No. 8
This paper depicts and analyzes the wealth distribution and wealth mobility in a national sample of nearly 1,600 households matched in the 1850 and 1860 manuscript schedules of the census. Gini coefficients, a transition matrix, the Shorrocks measure, and a regression model of wealth accumulation are estimated from these data. The findings shed light on theories of the wealth distribution, life-cycle behavior, regional economic performance, and the empirical basis for critiques of capitalism. Blacks accumulated slowly but the foreign born performed remarkably well. The distribution of wealth was relatively unequal on the frontier but the region performed well in reducing propertylessness. Residents of eastern cities were less fluid than other residents of the rural North. Blue collar workers and the unskilled declined relative to farmers and white-collar workers during the decade, which suggests that other aspects of wealth determination may have outweighed stretching of the wage structure as an explanation of growing inequality during industrialization. Comparisons with data on net family assets collected by the National Longitudinal Survey in the 1960s and 1970s show that mid-nineteenth century households were less mobile at the lower end but more mobile at the upper end of the wealth distribution.

李天舒的论文"Protecting the Breadbasket with Trees? The Effect of the Great Plains Shelterbelt Project on Agriculture"已被国际期刊Land Economics正式接受发表。
摘要：Wind erosion is detrimental to agriculture. Planting shelterbelt trees is a common strategy to protect vulnerable areas. I estimate the impact of shelterbelts on agriculture while instrumenting the endogeneity of planted location with a designated zone under the Great Plains Shelterbelt Project - a massive tree-planting operation implemented in 1935-42. I find a shift from cropland to pasture associated with higher shelterbelt coverage due to differential productivity changes in livestock and crop production. The revenue increase from livestock was contributed by cattle, while the decline in crop production mainly occurred in western counties due to impeding subsequently emerged irrigation technology.

P0601 Chevrolet: Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing the Control Module and Final Verdict
If your Chevy Equinox is showing a P0601 code, indicating an internal control module checksum error, you may need to replace the control module. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of replacing the control module to fix this issue.
Firstly, before considering a replacement, always check the wiring to ensure there are no issues such as cuts or damage. Once you've confirmed that the wiring is intact, you can proceed with replacing the control module.
Steps to Replace the Control Module
To begin the replacement, follow these steps:
 1. Remove the cover: Use an eight-millimeter socket to remove the bolts securing the cover.
 2. Secure transmission cooler line: The cooler line has a 13-millimeter nut, remove it and carefully lay the line back to prevent trapping the cover.
 3. Ensure the seal is in place: Check the seal on the transmission cooler line to avoid fluid leaks after reassembly.
 4. Verify matching numbers: If replacing with a used module, ensure the numbers match. For a new module, the VIN number will be used for selection.
 5. Unscrew the bolts: Remove the seven-millimeter and 10-millimeter bolts to access and remove the control module.
 6. Disconnect plugs: Unplug the connectors and carefully secure the wires out of the way.
Remember to handle the bolts carefully as they are of the same length and can be interchanged. Once the control module is removed, you can proceed with replacing it with a new or used one, ensuring that it is reprogrammed to match your vehicle's specifications.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can effectively address the P0601 code in your Chevy Equinox due to an internal control module checksum error. Always ensure proper reprogramming after replacing the module to avoid any potential issues with transmission functionality. We hope this guide has been helpful in enabling you to replace the control module yourself and resolve the error code in your vehicle.
What does the P0601 code mean for a Chevy Equinox?
The P0601 code for a Chevy Equinox stands for internal computer checksum error. This code indicates a loss of communication between the transmission computer and the control module on the vehicle.
How to replace the control module for the P0601 code?
To replace the control module for the P0601 code, you will need to remove the cover by unscrewing the bolts, disconnect the wiring, and then slide off the module. If replacing with a used one, ensure the numbers match up. If using a new one, it will need to be reprogrammed.
What should be checked before replacing the control module for the P0601 code?
Before replacing the control module for the P0601 code, always check the wiring to ensure it is working as intended and that there are no cut wires or other issues with the wiring.

This is a text description of asoag018.gif, an image which shows the steps to authenticate clients when SSL is used with other authentication methods as follows:
- A client seeks to connect to an Oracle server.
- SSL performs a handshake during which the server authenticates itself to the client and both the client and server establish which cipher suite to use.
- Once the SSL handshake is successfully completed, the user seeks access to the database.
- The Oracle server authenticates the user with the authentication server using a non-SSL authentication method such as Kerberos or RADIUS.
- Upon validation by the authentication server, the Oracle server grants access and authorization to the user. Then the user can access the database securely by using SSL.

Carlo Annibale Tononi (1675–1730) was a luthier who trained and worked with his father in the Tononi family workshop in Bologna, Italy until his father, Johannes Tononi, died in 1713. After his father's death, Tononi moved to the more important center of music in Italy--Venice.
In the late 17th century, Bologna was a great centre for art and especially of string playing, being Arcangelo Corelli's home town. By early 18th century, Venice had become a more important cultural centre (for music and Lutherie/ Instrument Making). Carlo Tononi moved to Venice between _PHONE_, where he became one of the foremost makers of the new Venetian School.
Before his death, Tononi modified his will to provide for his funeral. He requested that the proceeds from the sale of one of his cellos be used to pay for a mass to be said for his soul. On 21 April 1730, his executors published his will after his death.

The National Weather Service has its beginnings in the early history
of the United States. Weather has always been important to
the citizenry of this country, and this was especially true
during the 17th and 18th centuries.
|The beginning of the National Weather Service
we know today started on February 9th, 1870, when
President Ulysses S. Grant signed a joint resolution of Congress
authorizing the Secretary of War to establish a national weather
service. This resolution required the Secretary of War
"to provide for taking meteorological observations
at the military stations in the interior of the continent
and at other points in the States and Territories...and
for giving notice on the northern (Great) Lakes and on
the seacoast by magnetic telegraph and marine signals,
of the approach and force of storms"
After much thought and consideration, it was decided that
this agency would be placed under the Secretary of War because
military discipline would probably secure the greatest promptness,
regularity, and accuracy in the required observations. Within
the Department of War, it was assigned to the Signal Service
Corps under Brigadier General Albert J. Myer. General Meyer
gave the National Weather Service its first name: The
Division of Telegrams and Reports for the Benefit of Commerce.
Ulysses S. Grant
Later that year, the first systematized, synchronous weather observations
ever taken in the U.S. were made by "observing-sergeants" of
the Army Signal Service at 22 stations and telegraphed to Washington.
An agency was born which would affect the daily lives of most of
the citizens of the United States through its forecasts and warnings.
This history of the National Weather
Service is broken up into several sections, including those days
before the resolution was passed in 1870. Follow the links below
to explore the early pioneers of weather forecasting in this country.

Los Angeles, its modern rise to world-class city steeped in Spanish mission roots, has brushed over many of its multicultural landmarks.
A broad survey being conducted throughout the city is unearthing vast historic resources within its diverse neighborhoods.
"Certainly, one of the goals of Survey Los Angeles and community outreach has been to identify historic places associated with the rich heritage of Los Angeles and diverse communities," said Ken Bernstein, director of the city Office of Historic Resources.
The Los Angeles Historic Resources Survey, central to the city's first comprehensive historic preservation effort, is looking beyond just the big stuff.
The $5 million SurveyLA, launched four years ago courtesy of a Getty Foundation grant, wants the nitty gritty about L.A.'s broad heritage.
And that means looking for landmarks that also tell the stories of its black, Latino and Asian communities.
This spring, the office will survey Pacoima, a historically black neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley now devoid of landmarks.
"You'd think there would be a landmark, but there's not," said the Rev. Zedar Broadous, of Pacoima, whose
The city survey has recently identified sites associated with minorities. Those include, for example:
- The site in South Los Angeles off Crenshaw Boulevard, where bonzai landscaping and Japanese designs survive long past the Japanese-American residents who created them.
- The affluent Sugar Hill neighborhood of West Adams, where black celebrities such as Hattie McDaniel once stood up against racially restrictive real estate covenants.
- The Motel Hacienda, a $3-a-night dive on Figueroa Street where soul singer Sam Cooke met his bloody end.
But in the Valley, local, state and federal landmarks have long favored Mission-era or postwar sites associated with white suburbia.
Of the city's 1,012 historic landmarks, only three pertain to the working-class Northeast Valley: the San Fernando Mission; an equestrian neighborhood in Sun Valley; and the First Los Angeles Cascades, where William Mulholland's first waters gushed into Sylmar a century ago this year.
Then there's Griffith Ranch, commemorated by a state brass marker heralding where silent film pioneer D.W. Griffith drew inspiration for "The Birth of a Nation," (1915) which glorified the Ku Klux Klan.
SurveyLA now seeks public input on other historic sites across the city at myhistoricla.org.
"Most of the Valley (historic) sites I wouldn't call in underserved communities," Bernstein said. "But we'll get there."
African-Americans in Pacoima point to the once-robust black community once excluded from buying or renting homes elsewhere across the Valley.
They hail Greater Community Missionary Baptist Church, the granddaddy of black Valley churches.
They hail Styles Ville Barber Shop & Beauty Salon, the region's oldest black barber shop and gathering spot for more than half a century.
They hail the homes of black actors William Marshall, Don Blackman and Albert Reed, who each once lived in Pacoima.
Or the headquarters of civic activists like the late Marie Harris, which some say deserve landmark status. For decades, the honorary mayor of Pacoima held teenage pageants, political fundraisers, expos and even helped launch the Valley secession movement at her home on Welk Avenue.
"It's because of the incredible significance, unselfish contributions she made to this community," said daughter Rolene Naveja, 65, who lives in the home. "This house was established as the social showplace of the community."


Requirements and Verification
Description
Requirements: Requirements provide a technical definition of what each and every block in your system block diagram must be able to do. Each module in your system's block diagram should be associated with a set of requirements. If all requirements have been met for every module, you should have a fully functioning project. A good set of requirements should meet the following criteria.
Verification: Verifications are a set of procedures that you will use to verify that a requirement has been met. Every requirement should have a verification procedure associated with it. Good verification procedures will meet the following criteria.
Remember, a good R&V table should function like a debugging checklist.
Points Summary: At the time of demo, 50 points will be defined by the R&V table for your project. It is up to you to define how important each requirement is and how many points it will be worth. If your project is not fully functioning at the time of demo, these points will define how you will earn partial credit. If you do not provide a points summary or define one poorly (e.g., by giving too many points to a trivial requirement) the course staff reserve the right to define the points for your requirements without your input. The point summary should be organized as a table separate from the R&V table where the points are distributed across each functional block in your block diagram. Meeting the requirements for that block will then represent earning those points. If desired, you may define how many points each individual requirement is worth but this is not required.
This point allocation should initially be proposed by the students themselves with TA approval and finally instructor approval at DR. This point allocation must be printed and brought to the demo at the end of the semester. Changes must be approved by the instructor. Here is an example.
Examples
You can view example R&V tables in the sample Design Review documents: Good Sample DR and a Poor Sample DR. It is also helpful to examine the points summary example and a good example R&V table as it was presented in a final report.
A note about formatting: Requirements and Verification are best organized into a table and organized by functional block. If each module of your project has several requirements, you may want to create an R&V table for each block separately. Each row of your R&V table should have one requirement (in one column) and the corresponding verification procedure (in another column).
Submission and Deadlines
Requirements and Verification will be included in your Project Proposal, Design Review Document and you will receive feedback and suggestions for improvement. Changes to your R&V table made after design review must be approved by your TA. Changes made after Mock Demo will not be approved with the exception of extreme circumstances.
Unapproved changes to the R&V table that are presented at the Final Demo may be penalized up to 50 points (the total associated with R&V).
Smart Frisbee
Ryan Moser, Blake Yerkes, James Younce
Smart Frisbee
Featured Project
The idea of this project would be to improve upon the 395 project 'Smart Frisbee' done by a group that included James Younce. The improvements would be to create a wristband with low power / short range RF capabilities that would be able to transmit a user ID to the frisbee, allowing the frisbee to know what player is holding it. Furthermore, the PCB from the 395 course would be used as a point of reference, but significantly redesigned in order to introduce the transceiver, a high accuracy GPS module, and any other parts that could be modified to decrease power consumption. The frisbee's current sensors are a GPS module, and an MPU 6050, which houses an accelerometer and gyroscope.
The software of the system on the frisbee would be redesigned and optimized to record various statistics as well as improve gameplay tracking features for teams and individual players. These statistics could be player specific events such as the number of throws, number of catches, longest throw, fastest throw, most goals, etc.
The new hardware would improve the frisbee's ability to properly moderate gameplay and improve "housekeeping", such as ensuring that an interception by the other team in the end zone would not be counted as a score. Further improvements would be seen on the software side, as the frisbee in it's current iteration will score as long as the frisbee was thrown over the endzone, and the only way to eliminate false goals is to press a button within a 10 second window after the goal.

Chicago IP Litigation Tracking Northern District of Illinois IP Cases
Intrinsic Evidence Overcomes Patent Doctrine of Claim Differentiation
Posted in Claim Construction
Kathrein-Werke KG v. Radiacion y Microondas S.A., No. 07 C 2921, Slip Op. (N.D. Ill. May 17, 2010) (Guzmán, J.).
Judge Guzmán construed the contested terms of plaintiff's patent to a high frequency phase shifter unit having a pivotable tapping element. Of particular note, the Court construed:
 - "Stripline" was a conductive strip, but it did not need to be a flat, conductive strip. Nothing in the claim or specification required striplines be flat, and plaintiff's extrinsic evidence could not overcome the intrinsic evidence.
 - "Stripline sections", "stripline segments" and "stripline elements" were construed to mean the same thing. While claim differentiation creates a presumption that different terms have different meanings, that presumption was overcome by the intrinsic evidence which showed patentee "obstinately" using the terms to mean the same thing.
 - "Extending" was given its ordinary meaning of "lengthening." The Court held that plaintiff's definition "lengthening in one or more direction" included an unnecessary element that was not supported by the intrinsic evidence.
 - "Transformers" were defined as "devices that transfer electrical signals and match impedance values." The Court also construed the statement that transformers "share power" as meaning that transformers "permit the sharing of power" because the parties agreed that transformers cannot share power.


text: Acoustic reflectance measurement techniques have been investigated that are calibrated using pressure responses measured in one or more cylindrical tubes and viscothermal models of wall loss. Of clinical interest as a test of hearing is a single-microphone technique to measure the inherently nonlinear ear-canal reflectance at various stimulus levels. Calibration of the probe containing the sound source/receiver consists of measuring the source reflectance of the probe and the incident pressure response at each stimulus level. A single-tube technique relies on separability of the tube response into incident and reflected signals, while multi-tube techniques rely on solving an overdetermined matrix equation of responses. The matrix includes weighting factors that differ across tubes by reflectance or SPL to control for inadequate signal-to-noise ratios at isolated frequencies, and a regularized matrix inverse solution is compared to the pseudoinverse solution. The single-tube technique functions as well as the best performing multi-tube technique, and requires fewer calibration steps. However, there is an ambiguity between the tube length chosen in the tube response model and the measured phase of the source reflectance. This ambiguity is addressed by a priori knowledge of the phase response of the probe averaged across frequency.
