text: Gas lift is one of the most commonly used artificial lift method in oil-producing wells. However, the technique requires constant optimization of gas allocation to maximize profit. The Gas Lift Performance Curves (GLPC) are the main design element that is used for optimized injection. Several authors have proposed models to fit the GLPC. These curves are generated by modeling wells in a multiphase steady-state simulator. Once the model is built, a sensitivity analysis is run, and the curves are generated. In this work, The common workflow to generate GLPC was followed. Then, a new correlation for GLPC was suggested. The correlation outperforms all the models in the literature in terms of R-score and root mean square error. The correlation was then used to formulate a case study for four wells located in North Africa. First, the wells and PVT models were used to create a simulation. Once the simulation was calibrated, a sensitivity analysis of the gas lift injection rate was run. The new correlation was used to fit the GLPC. The optimization problem was mathematically formulated, and stochastic optimization techniques were used, noting Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) Algorithm and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to obtain the global optimum of the distribution of a limited gas lift quantity. Both algorithms' results were compared. GWO slightly outperformed GA. The advantages of GWO over GA were discussed, and the optimum gas allocation was obtained.

Re: how main() is called in C programme
chang wrote:
I am working in C from past few months. Still now i can't
figure out who is called main() in 'C' programme?
Main() is a function from that we can call our sunroutines but someone
has to call this Main() and it will return to whom and in runtime
this Main() is stored/runnng exactly where in the memroy?
I will appreciate if someone help me to figure it out.
Under "hosted" systems the so-called "host environment" is responsible
for invoking main (note: C is case sensitive. main and Main are
different identifiers). When the program is done control is given back
to the host environment in a implementation defined fashion. One common
candidate for the host environment is the operating system. Examples
are Linux, Solaris, Windows, DOS etc.
Things are often very different for the so-called "freestanding"
systems. Here the program entry point need not be named main at all.
Also very often there is no host environment. The program is directly
invoked by the hardware and normally terminates only when the device is
switched off. Under such environments of course it might not make sense
to return from the main function (or whatever it's called) or to invoke
exit, _Exit or similar.
Details of course vary enormously. Some embedded systems do have
complete operating systems and allow execution of normal hosted C
programs. Note that the host software itself is a (if written in C)
freestanding program.
The details of how exactly control is given to a hosted C program and
what happens after such a program terminates are *very* system
dependent. It will vary depending on the processor, operating system
and your C implementation.
Often the case is that your C compiler will prefix your program with a
small amount of code which is called by the host system when your
program is run. This code may do various housekeeping duties like
opening the predefined streams (stdin, stdout and stderr), initialising
the malloc subsystem, setting up the commandline arguments to main,
setting up default signal handlers, setting your default locale and
other such tasks before invoking main as a normal function call.
Similarly when your program terminates control may be passed to code
that's linked in with your program by the compiler. This often resides
in implementation defined functions called by exit. Often this is the
function _Exit. It closes open streams, flushes unwritten output and
calls any functions registered with atexit before transferring control
back to the host environment, usually through a system call.
Please ask in a system specific group like comp.unix.programmer or for more details. Also reading the
source for a C library implementation like glibc might be illuminating.
The terms used in this post like hosted, freestanding etc. are all
defined in the ISO standard for C, a public draft of which can be

Abstract
SUMMARY: Nuclease activity was observed in several saprophytic and parasitic Mycoplasma organisms; the nucleases of were studied in detail. Nuclease activity of this organism was highest at the early logarithmic phase of growth, and was found mainly the soluble fraction of the organisms. Anion-exchange chromatography of the proteins of the soluble fraction separated ribonuclease from deoxyribonuclease activity. Each enzyme had an alkaline pH optimum, required magnesium ions for activity, and degraded native and heat-denatured nucleic acids. RNase degraded RNA-core. RNA inhibited the degradation of DNA by deoxyribonuclease. The implications of these findings with respect to the effects of RNA and DNA on growth of are discussed.

Title: Cognitive Constraints on How Economic Rewards Affect Cooperation (PDF)
Authors: Ellen E. Furlong and John E. Opfer
Publisher: Psychological Science, vol. 20, no. 1
Date Published: January 2009
Understanding how the brain processes numerical information can provide valuable insights for marketers, contract negotiators, and executives. In this paper, the authors highlight an interesting quirk in human perception: People tend to value multiple-digit numbers more than numbers with fewer digits (for example, 300 cents vs. $3), even if the underlying economic value is exactly the same.
In a series of experiments, the authors asked a group of undergraduate students to engage in a test known as the Prisoner's Dilemma, in which participants are given different rewards for working with or against other participants. When the students were offered 300 cents if they would work together, up from the original offer of 3 cents, cooperation rates went up considerably. But when the reward was increased from 3 cents to $3, despite the same increase in value, cooperation rates did not increase. Finally, supporting their hypothesis that people unconsciously put the greatest emphasis on numerical value, the researchers saw an increase in cooperation when participants were offered 300 cents, after first being offered $3.
Bottom Line: People unconsciously place more emphasis on numbers that have more digits, even when the economic value is the same or less. Executives and marketers can use this knowledge to help them create smart pricing strategies or emphasize value more effectively in marketing campaigns.

Crooked River Watershed Council
Private landowners, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Oregon Department of Forestry, and OSU Extension Crook County
The Horse Heaven Creek restoration project is located on private lands in the upland habitats of the Horse Heaven Creek subbasin, which flows into the Crooked River above Bowman Dam in Crook County. This landscape-scale project focused on the removal of encroaching Western juniper on sage steppe habitats on private lands directly adjacent to the Ochoco National Forest. This collaborative project brought together local, state, and federal agencies and private landowners to address habitat degradation and fuels management in habitats critical for wildlife. Restoration goals included improving native sage steppe vegetation conditions, livestock grazing rotation and management, and the reduction of wildlife fuels.
Project activities included 5533 acres of juniper removal, 4,150 acres of prescribed burning, 2,250 acres of seeding, weed control, 22 off-stream water developments, and monitoring post-project responses. This project leveraged existing conservation work in the Horse Heaven watershed including Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Mule Deer Initiative funding for habitat improvement and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) funding for prescribed burns.
This project spawned additional interest in restoration of instream conditions on Horse Heaven Creek. In the summer of 2018, local partners worked with the same landowner to remove 2 fish passage barriers and improve riparian conditions along the creek adjacent to the upland juniper removal.

Do Men and Women Cook Really Differently?
The kitchen is neutral ground in almost every home. Husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, and all other family members get to maximize the kitchen space. In maximizing the kitchen, a difference is seen in the mode of operation by men and women.
What do they do differently? What is the difference between the way a man or woman prepare meals? The answers to these questions are not far-fetched. As some parameters would be used to discuss their difference in preparing meals in this article.
I think we would all agree that women are neater in the kitchen than men. Women tend to clean up after themselves as they cook. Usually, women do not wait until they are done cooking before cleaning. For everything that spills, they are ever ready to clean up with a towel.
Men, on the other hand hardly do so. It is quite typical of men to wait until they are done with cooking before cleaning up. However, this does not mean men are dirty cooks. It just means that women are more conscious of their cooking environment.
Composure in the kitchen is a clear cut difference between men and women in the kitchen. Typically, women are more composed and relaxed while cooking. They almost always know what they are doing. They know what to do at every point in time and how to conveniently.
Again, it is a different ball game for men. Men are more adventurers than they are cooks. They hardly follow instructions and often just go with the flow. Also, men tend to get panicky when things go south. I dare say, they're ill-equipped for kitchen emergencies, unless it is a broken pipe of course. Check here!
It is common knowledge that food taste would be bland without enough spice. Having said that, men and women spice their food differently.
Women are more discrete in spicing their food. They hardly go over the appropriate amount of spices for the food they cook. They always aim for balance. Well, it's a different story when it comes to men.
Men could care less about getting the spice amount right. They spice up their food based on intuition and they usually do not mind their food being too spicy.
Men avoid baking. They would rather cook than bake up anything. This might be due to the fear of getting wrong since baking requires precision to say the least.
Women on the other hand can conveniently bake and cook. They are more open to diverse types of food than men. Baking is not an issue for most women because they follow recipe instruction by paying keen attention to the least detail.
Recovering dishes
I would like to think that this is one of the reasons women are called superheroes. Women can easily turn a bad kitchen day into a good one. They have enough arrows in their quivers to take care of unforeseen circumstances in the kitchen.
If they try one procedure and it does not go as plan, they have an immediate alternative to rescue the situation.
Men on the other hand accept defeat without blinking. If they don't get it right with the formula at hand they usually just give up. Unless it's a competition, men would not bother with getting it right.
These differences do not mean men are not good cooks. In fact, they are great cooks. This difference just means that the kitchen could mean different things for different people. Hence, each gender gets to handle things differently and how they see fit.

Best Ways to Bake With CBD
Cannabidiol is an interesting ingredient and yet more people include this with their meals. It's strange because a few years ago you would never have dreamt of adding CBD to your baked goods. However, it's a popular trend of modern times and more bakers love to add this to their baked delights. Of course, over the years home bakers have used all sorts to create 'special' cookies and treats and have loved the results. CBD is slightly different though. Adding CBD to beverages and food is quite popular. So, how can you bake with CBD? you may also like to read about CBD Cannabigerol
Understand How Potent Cannabidiol Can Be
CBD is widely located but it isn't always clear how much should be used at any one time. When it comes to using it with food, you have to be even more careful because adding too much could be potentially deadly. What you might not know is that CBD is quite potent; in simple terms, it means it's quite strong and should only ever be used minimally. Small doses would be wise, more so than adding large quantities of it, this is especially important for those who want to bake with it. If you don't know the potency of Cannabidiol, you might use too much so it's essential to look at the strength of the product you're using.
If you're going to bake with Cannabidiol, it's essential to use a minimal amount in every dish prepared. This would be sensible whether you're baking a tray of chocolate fudge brownies, an apple pie, or blueberry muffins. Click here for more information:
Flavors and Taste
You want to bake with CBD so think about the flavors being used. What flavors do you like? What do you want to bake? Would you prefer to have an underlying taste of Cannabidiol or would you prefer to mask the taste entirely? These are the things you have to think about to get the balance in your cooking just right. If you really don't want to taste CBD then you have to pair with ingredients that will mask the flavor. For instance, chocolate, especially dark chocolate, can taste wonderful and often overpower all other ingredients. It's the same with chili.
Pair Your Ingredients
As said above, Cannabidiol can have a unique taste and some won't appreciate or enjoy it. If you're serious about baking with CBD, then you have to match or pair your ingredients properly. What does that mean? Let's say you were baking a cake or a tart, you may want to use a strong flavored jam so Cannabidiol wouldn't overpower the cake. Again, this is a personal preference. It could be risky to put CBD in your food so you have to think before you use too much.
Show Off Your Baking Skills
Cannabidiol is widely used in baking and it's an interesting ingredient to work with, but, it's complicated. The health benefits mightn't outweigh the risks and while it's popular, it's not for everyone. You have a potent flavor; you have to pair it wisely and at times, mask the taste to make it enjoyable. CBD is tricky to work with in food so try and test to find the best. Know more here!
CBD and Exercise: Risks and Benefits
People who do sports often and also athletes are always in search of the perfect complement. Either to achieve your goals or to help with your diet and the necessary nutrients.
In any case, to enjoy sports it is very important that we have a quality sleep cycle and a balanced diet. Along with these two premises, there is a supplement that can help you in your workouts, this supplement is CBD.
The healthiest way to consume CBD for sports is oil.
Cannabis oil is produced in very good condition, making it definitely the healthiest (and legal) way to consume cannabis.
When it comes to sports, there are many benefits that CBD can bring you.
 - Helps the development of your muscles
CBD is a product that helps prevent excess catabolism and also maintains muscle mass and prevents muscle loss.
 - Helps reduce inflammation
When we want to build muscle or get fit, we often do heavy exercises in the gym. Hypertrophic training can cause your muscles to break and ache the next day.
If you consume CBD you will help to reduce this inflammation.
 - Helps alleviate genes in various diseases
There are people with degenerative diseases who have a problem when playing sports.
At home, cannabis oil is considered an alternative treatment agent that cancer patients can use in combination with other medications. However, not only cancer patients during chemotherapy can use cannabis oil as an alternative treatment agent.
The oil has a calming effect on the body and can therefore also be recommended for people suffering from stress or anxiety.
Cannabis oil can, among other things, be used to cure headaches and migraines, if normal medicine does not have the desired effect.
Several people suffering from sclerosis and arthritis also have good comments about the use of cannabis oil. They prefer to use the oil because common medicine will not always ease the pain they suffer on a daily basis.
Cannabis oil can also help reduce cramps, pain, and spasms.
 - It is good for the heart
The cannabis oil content is believed to reduce the likelihood of heart problems and balance the body system by causing the blood vessels to relax and expand.
This reduces blood circulation and at the same time improves blood pressure. Therefore, cannabis oil can help improve your cardiovascular system and prevent cardiovascular disease.
The oil also stimulates the antioxidant pathway through the body and can also help lower cholesterol levels.

|Investigating the Imprecision of IP Block-based Geolocation|
|Published:||Passive and Active Network Measurement Workshop (PAM), 2007|
|Abstract:||The lack of adoption of a DNS-based geographic location service as proposed in RFC 1876 has lead to the deployment of alternative ways to locate Internet hosts. The two main alternatives rely either on active probing of individual hosts or on doing exhaustive tabulation of IP address ranges and their corresponding locations. Using active measurements, we show that the geographic span of blocks of IP addresses make their location difficult to choose. Using the single location for a block of IP addresses as an estimation of the location of its IP addresses leads to significant localization errors, whatever the choice made for the location of the block. Even using as the location of a block the one that minimizes the global localization error for all its IP addresses leads to large errors. The notion of the geographic span of a block of IP addresses is fuzzy, and depends in practice very much on the uncertainty associated to the location estimates of its IP addresses.|


As a biologist I study myrmecology, a branch of entomology focusing on the scientific study of ants. In this field I have interest in natural history, behavior, polidomy, and principally the myrmecomorphy.
What is myrmecomorphy?
Why some arthropods resembles to the ants?
 ''Mimicry as a survival strategy played a very important role in the general acceptance of the theory of natural selection among naturalists in the last century. Myrmecomorphy, in turn, is mimicry of ants by other organisms known as widespread phenomenon among arthropods. There are several traits that allow ants being good models of mimicry, such, the possession of potent stings, distasteful flesh, strong mandibles, hard integument and secretion of formic acid. The combination of the eusociality and these characteristics make ants very suitable organisms to be mimicked by innocuous arthropods.''
 I am fascinated by the ecology of batesian ant-mimicry. I am interested in myrmecomorphy since the undergrad, when I studied natural history aspects of an arboreal ant and its mimic, a thomisid spider. During my masters I continued working with ecology, behavior and natural history of ants and again I became fascinated with this survival strategy by founding ant mimicking arthropods in the Cerrado Savanna.

Did you think your skiing days were over once a baby schussed into your life? Maybe not. Many ski slopes have added so many winter activities for kids that they've become family winter resorts, where older toddlers and preschoolers can try their hand (er, feet?) at skiing, ice-skating, sledding and snowshoeing.
Younger toddlers can tag along in a backpack as you hike or snowshoe, or they can ride in a special trailer (called a ski pulk) while you cross-country ski. Some family-friendly resorts also offer perks like child care, but check in advance to see if it's open to kids your tot's age. Here are some more great tips to make this a top-notch toddler outing.
When you visit a family winter resort:
- Pack smart. For just about all winter activities for kids, you'll need lots of warm clothing and a water-repellent outer layer (bundle your child up in the number of layers you're wearing, plus one). Pay special attention to their heads, hands and feet, all of which get cold quicker. Even if it's just a day trip, bring extra toddler gear so no one has to stay in wet socks or damp sleeves — that will mean instant discomfort (and crankiness) and can even lead to hypothermia.
- Get equipped. Find out ahead of time what equipment you can rent at the winter resort (skis, poles, boots) and what you'll need to bring with you (goggles, a backpack for your child to ride in). Unless you have lots of pockets, bring along a small day-pack to take with you on the trails or slopes — just big enough for tissues, extra mittens, lip balm, sunscreen and a cell phone. Secure your diaper bag and other essentials in a locker at the lodge. If your tot will be downhill skiing, sledding, snow tubing or ice-skating, a helmet is a must.
- Have a backup plan. Many winter activities are challenging for little kids. If yours gets frustrated in ski school or can't stand the ice rink, try something else, even if it's just making a snowman or watching the bigger kids glide down the hill. Expect to take turns with your partner or hire a babysitter if you want to ski the slopes.
- Take frequent breaks. How long outside is long enough? It depends a lot on the weather conditions (temperature, wind, precipitation) and your tot's temperament and activity level. But if she's shivering, it means her body is losing heat and she needs to go inside and warm up — even if you've been out for only 10 minutes.
- Bring along insurance. Always carry your health-insurance card or info in the unlikely event that anyone in the family gets hurt (or sick). Don't know where you'll find a doc? The resort will probably have a first-aid station, and the staff can always help with referrals.

عنوان مقاله [English]
The provision and allocation of environmental rights of rivers, should be considered as a necessity in the sustainable management of the country's water resources, to protect the water resource ecosystem and the ecosystems associated with these resources, such as wetlands and lakes. In this research, over a 44 year period (from 1970 to 2013), the environmental flow of the Balikhloochai River, was studied using Tennant, Tessmann and FDC methods. Using IHA software, the effect of construction and operation of the Yamchi dam on hydrological and environmental changes, were investigated. Results showed that the Tennant method calculate the river flow between 1.96 to 3.27 m3/s to keeping the river flow regime at the optimum range for all months of the year, while Tessmann method calculate it 1.31 m3/s. The results of the FDC indicate that for the protection of the river in suitable and relatively suitable conditions, the flow rate of 2.95 and 2.46 m3/s was required, respectively. It was found that Dam operation has influenced downstream hydrological and environmental parameters. The extent of these effects on hydrological parameters such as Magnitude of monthly water conditions, Magnitude and duration of annual extreme water conditions, timing of annual extreme water conditions, and frequency and duration of high and low pulses status were 61.38% with moderate change degree. Also, despite the dam, 51.6% of environmental parameters such as monthly low flows, extreme low flows, small floods and large floods have changed.

Community Day Schools Program SummaryInformation on Community Day Schools purpose, services, outcomes, funding, students served, and results.
Legislation enacted in 1995 established the requirement that, at the time an expulsion of a student is ordered, the governing board of the school district shall ensure that an education program is provided to the student during the expulsion period. The same legislation authorized school districts to establish Community Day schools to serve these, and other at-risk/at-promise students. Subsequent legislation, in 1998, extended the authorization to also allow county offices of education to establish community day schools.
Students are expected to participate in academic programs that include high-level expectations from staff and students, and that are comparable to those available to students of similar age in the school district. The 360-minute minimum instructional day includes academic programs that provide challenging curriculum and individual attention to student learning modalities and abilities. Community Day schools programs also focus on the development of pro-social skills and student self-esteem and resiliency. Community Day schools are intended to have low student-teacher ratios. Students benefit from learning support services that include school counselors and psychologists, academic and vocational counselors, and student discipline personnel. Students also receive collaborative services from county offices of education, law enforcement, probation, and human services agency personnel who work with at-risk youth. Laws specific to Community Day schools are in Education Code (EC) sections 48660-48667.
The desired outcome is fully engaged students who are learning in a manner best suited to their needs. This will also result in:
- Closing the achievement gap
- Decreasing the dropout rate
- Increasing the graduation rate
Community Day schools serve:
- Expelled students
- Students referred by a School Attendance Review Board or probation
- High-risk youth referred through a district-level process who need a separate setting that is better matched to their academic, social, and emotional development needs than what can be provided in a traditional school setting.
Although the Educational Options, Student Support, and American Indian Education Office does not have specific reports on the efficacy of Community Day schools, it has prepared a research paper and compendium of resources entitled Zero Dropouts for California. This paper contains information regarding the dropout crisis; recommendations for the State, counties, districts, and the California Department of Education; and an extensive bibliography of resources.

Reliable Rateless Wireless Broadcasting With Near-Zero Feedback
The authors examine the problem of minimizing feedback in reliable wireless broadcasting, by pairing rateless coding with extreme value theory. Their key observation is that, in a broadcast environment, this problem resolves into estimating the maximum number of packets dropped among many receivers rather than for each individual receiver. With rateless codes, this estimation relates to the number of redundant transmissions needed at the source in order for all receivers to correctly decode a message with high probability. They develop and analyze two new data dissemination protocols, called Random Sampling (RS) and Full Sampling with Limited Feedback (FSLF), based on the moment and maximum likelihood estimators in extreme value theory.

To know everything about excel slicer, continue reading this page. In Excel, you will find numerous functions and formulas available like excel macros, vlookup, hlookup, and many others. Slicers are basically used to filter pivot tables easily and quickly.
The Slicer is the visual filters that filter data available in a pivot table or pivot chart by just clicking on the insert slicer. You can filter the data by just clicking on its data type. Let's take Excel Slicer example, you want to analyze the sales done in the particular region then in a pivot report, you want to look at sales as per customer profession. For finding out the region, you need to
- Include region in the report filter and then filter the region.
- Include slicer on the region and select the region that you want.
How to create Excel Slicer?
- Create a pivot table.
- Click anywhere in that pivot table.
- Now in the toolbar, find the option for Insert Slicer.
- If you do not find Slicer option then you can insert it.
- To insert slicer, go to the file menu and find the options icon.
- Click on options and you will find another page where you need to select slicer option.
- After selecting Slicer, click on Insert icon.
- Select the field on which you want to put slicer.
- Click on the pivot table.
- Click on Insert Slicer.
- The new window will open where you need to make a selection.
- Click Ok.
- Now you will find that excel slicer dashboard will be displayed for every field.
- In every slicer, you can click on the items on which you want to perform filter.
Create Charts with Slicers
As slicers are compatible with pivot tables, you can also use them to create Excel Charts. The process to create charts is:
- Create a pivot table.
- Similarly, by following the above process, add the slicer that interacts with any field.
- With the pivot table, you can create a pivot chart.
- You can move slicer next to the chart.
- Now your interactive chart is ready.
Excel Slicer Formatting
Slicers come with customizable options. With its customizable option, you can change the look, settings, and colors of the slicer easily.
Slicer header: The header of the slicer shows the category of the items.
Filtering Button: In this button, you will find the items in the filter.
Clear Filter: It removes the filter by choosing items in the slicer.
Scroll Bar: You can scroll up and down when there are more items.
How to Delete Slicer?
- To delete slicer, you need to right-click on the slicer.
- Select remove "Slicer name".
- Click on this option and you find that the slicer is removed.
Link slicer with multiple pivot tables
You can link slicer with different pivot tables that allow you to build interactive reports. In order to connect multiple pivot tables, you need to follow the process:
- Give unique names to every pivot tables.
- Click the right button on the slicer and then go to the report connection.
- Check the pivot tables and click on the checkboxes that you want.

I'm new to VTK and I'm struggling to understand what setOrigin and setPosition mean in vtk3DProp. I'm trying to display multiple cubes ( with specific x, y, z lengths and x, y, z co-ordinates with labels) using vtkAnnotatedCubeActor. Unlike vtkCubeSource, I cannot specify a center or x, y, z lengths for vtkAnnotatedCubeActor. As I understand I can use SetOrigin, SetPosition and SetScale to achieve the result I want but I'm failing to understand how these map to each other. Can anybody explain these to me? Any help is greatly appreciated!
My two cents: setOrigin() sets the object's origin with respect to the world whose origin is 0,0,0. setPosition() sets the postion of the actor with respect to its origin. setOrigin() is very useful if your model has local coordinate systems.
For example, suppose you're modeling the Solar System. You place the Sun actor at origin=0,0,0 and position=0,0,0 so it occupies the center of the Solar System. Then you place the Earth actor 150 million km away from the Sun, but you make Earth's origin at the Sun because the former orbits the latter: origin=0,0,0 and position=150000000,0,0. Then you place the Moon actor with respect to the Earth, not the Sun and 400,000km away from the Earth: origin=150000000,0,0 and position=300000,0,0. This way, you don't need to make complicated computations to make the Moon orbit the Earth while it orbits the Sun with only global heliocentric coordinates.
setScale() will scale the XYZ values of the actor with respect to its origin. In the example above, if you apply a 2x,2x,2x scale to the Moon actor, it will double in size and end up twice further away from the Earth.
I hope this helps casting some light on the subject.


Random permutation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A random permutation is a random ordering of a set of objects, that is, a permutation-valued random variable. The use of random permutations is often fundamental to fields that use randomized algorithms such as coding theory, cryptography, and simulation. A good example of a random permutation is the shuffling of a deck of cards: this is ideally a random permutation of the 52 cards.
Generating random permutations[edit]
Entry-by-entry brute force method[edit]
One method of generating a random permutation of a set of size n uniformly at random (i.e., each of the n! permutations is equally likely to appear) is to generate a sequence by taking a random number between 1 and n sequentially, ensuring that there is no repetition, and interpreting this sequence (x1, ..., xn) as the permutation
shown here in two-line notation.
This brute-force method will require occasional retries whenever the random number picked is a repeat of a number already selected. This can be avoided if, on the ith step (when x1, ..., xi − 1 have already been chosen), one chooses a number j at random between 1 and ni + 1 and sets xi equal to the jth largest of the unchosen numbers.
Fisher-Yates shuffles[edit]
A simple algorithm to generate a permutation of n items uniformly at random without retries, known as the Fisher–Yates shuffle, is to start with any permutation (for example, the identity permutation), and then go through the positions 0 through n − 2 (we use a convention where the first element has index 0, and the last element has index n − 1), and for each position i swap the element currently there with a randomly chosen element from positions i through n − 1 (the end), inclusive. It's easy to verify that any permutation of n elements will be produced by this algorithm with probability exactly 1/n!, thus yielding a uniform distribution over all such permutations.
unsigned uniform(unsigned m); /* Returns a random integer 0 <= uniform(m) <= m-1 with uniform distribution */
void initialize_and_permute(unsigned permutation[], unsigned n)
{
 unsigned i;
 for (i = 0; i <= n-2; i++) {
 unsigned j = i+uniform(n-i); /* A random integer such that i ≤ j < n */
 swap(permutation[i], permutation[j]); /* Swap the randomly picked element with permutation[i] */
 }
}
Note that if the uniform() function is implemented simply as random() % (m) then a bias in the results is introduced if the number of return values of random() is not a multiple of m, but this becomes insignificant if the number of return values of random() is orders of magnitude greater than m.
Statistics on random permutations[edit]
Fixed points[edit]
The probability distribution of the number of fixed points in a uniformly distributed random permutation approaches a Poisson distribution with expected value 1 as n grows. In particular, it is an elegant application of the inclusion–exclusion principle to show that the probability that there are no fixed points approaches 1/e. When n is big enough, the probability distribution of fixed points is almost the Poisson distribution with expected value 1.[1] The first n moments of this distribution are exactly those of the Poisson distribution.
Randomness testing[edit]
As with all random processes, the quality of the resulting distribution of an implementation of a randomized algorithm such as the Knuth shuffle (i.e., how close it is to the desired uniform distribution) depends on the quality of the underlying source of randomness, such as a pseudorandom number generator. There are many possible randomness tests for random permutations, such as some of the Diehard tests. A typical example of such a test is to take some permutation statistic for which the distribution is known and test whether the distribution of this statistic on a set of randomly generated permutations closely approximates the true distribution.

text: Integrated iron and steel plants generate large amounts of metallurgical slag, which usually contains some quantity of metals or mixtures of oxides that could be treated to be recycled in various applications. The conventional method for disposal of slags is dumping. However, it is possible to process the slags to be used in the production of metallic iron, or as an additive in cement making. In this study, a basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelwork slag obtained from the Kardemir integrated iron and steel works, Karabuk, Turkey is used. A drum magnetic separator system with pre-engineered crucial processing parameters of drum revolution speed, drum radius, drum flesh thickness, and magnitude of the magnetic field applied is utilized, as these parameters have a competing influence on the results. Subsequently, the effects of slag grain size and the drum-blade gap are investigated in the separation efficiency of magnetic grains. It is found that collection of magnetic grains is improved by decreasing the grain size of slags and moreover, the collection of magnetic grains fraction is increased with an increase in the gap between the blades and drum.

Doctors are voicing concern that a lack of provincial funding for palliative care is pushing patients at the end of their lives to opt for doctor-assisted suicide instead. Since the province's medical aid in dying law came into effect in 2016, Quebec doctors say access to palliative care has decreased while requests for medical aid in dying have increased. The group said patients have told them that they are choosing assisted dying because they can't find adequate palliative care services.
A family physician who is leading the group and fighting against Quebec's assisted dying law in court, said fewer doctors have entered the field of palliative care since the law came into effect and that patients are suffering as a result.
People really are feeling a burden, financial stress, psychological stress and lack of autonomy. So what we want do is we want to give people what they need, and they need care and support.
The group also said the provincial government has provided them with little information on how they are managing the issue. They were promised that there would be a plan for the development of palliative care in Quebec and the commission asked for five years to develop this plan.
They are not the only doctors expressing concern about patients' access to palliative care. Physicians asking for more funding for specialized, palliative care.
Patients, failing to benefit from such care, could have no other choice but to ask for medical aid in dying to end their days in dignity. Patients who ask for medical aid in dying are given priority access to available resources to the detriment of other patients at the end of their lives.
The health ministry, on the other hand, said the province is progressing on this file and has been focusing resources on home palliative care. It's expected that more than 24,000 residents will use palliative care services by the end of the year, according to the province.

International comparisons need to be treated with caution
Commenting on the report released by the Sutton Trust on achievement by young people in maths in international tests, Chris Keates, General Secretary of the NASUWT, the largest teachers' union, said:
"Teachers across the country want to ensure that all pupils are achieving. There is more that can be done and no-one is complacent.
"However, this daily denigration of our education system by one self-promoting organisation after another is corrosive and demoralising for pupils and teachers alike, particularly when simplistic conclusions are drawn from highly complex information.
"The maths tests to which the Sutton Trust refers are one-off tests and those responsible for devising the tests caution against using them to make such hard-and-fast comparisons between countries.
"Their conclusions raise more questions than they answer. They are not comparing like with like.
"The education systems are different. The pupils taking the tests are selected differently. Some countries do nothing but prepare for the tests for months. Some, like Shanghai, may not enter a pupil sample generally reflective of the student population and use crammer sessions to prepare.
"Such comparisons, therefore, need to be viewed with extreme caution.
"We can always learn lessons from international comparators but they should not be used as a stick to beat an education system which day-in day-out is delivering for all children, not just an elite."

Sciencedirect - Elsevier - The Extractive Industries and Society, 7 (2020) 611-620: doi:10:1016/j:exis:2020:03:008
Mining companies are facing various environmental and social challenges, ranging from ecological concerns to community relations issues. In Finland, mining companies have responded to these challenges by developing a sustainability initiative to increase their responsibility. This study is based on a questionnaire administered to senior mine managers to capture their views on the matter. This research argues that for successful implementation of the 'Towards Sustainable Mining Standard', organizations need certain leadership and management processes to support implementation. This research also argues that organizations need a set of sustainability initiatives to guide their operations towards improved environmental performance. This research shows that sustainability initiatives play an important role in mining companies' operations, and companies are committed to several initiatives in their businesses. Results show that top management commitment, adequate resource allocation, and a functioning management system with an emphasis on communication and stakeholder engagement are essential to support implementation.

In order to make a clap switch, we have to combine the touch sensor(monostable mode of 555 and the transistorized dark sensor circuits. Whenever there is loud sound produced near the electret condenser mic, pin 2 of 555 gets triggered and it switches on the LED D1. The LED remains on for a definite time determined by R1 and C1. We can adjust the sensitivity of the circuit using a variable resistor in place of fixed resistor R5. You can check the circuit with 1K or 10K.

10 Native Inventions and Innovations That Changed the World
Soon after the arrival of Columbus, detailed descriptions of the inventions of Indigenous Peoples began to make their way back to Europe. Not satisfied that "savages" would be able to generate such innovation, rumors began to spread that the Americas were simply a lost colony of Christians or Israelites. Such rumors still exist today and in fact continue to be discussed by archeologists.
But all of this aside, indigenous cultures have created thousands upon thousands of innovations that are in use today in the most modern of practices, be it a tub of popcorn at the movies, the administering of medicines with surgical precision or the removal of tartar from teeth in modern dentistry. In order to give some more credit where credit is due to our ancestral innovators, here are 10 Native inventions and innovations that changed the world. These are but a few examples of indigenous ingenuity, but highlighting them serves to unswathe yet another facet of hidden history.
Syringes, or Hypodermic Needles
Though Scotsman Alexander Wood is credited with inventing the syringe in 1853, in pre-Columbian times South American Indians used a type of syringe made from sharpened hollow bird bones attached to small bladders to inject medicine, irrigate wounds or even clean ears. Additionally, Indigenous healers also used larger and similar instruments for enemas.
Baby Bottles and Formula
Using similar technology as the syringe, the Seneca used washed, dried and oiled bear intestines with a bird quill attached as a form of nipple. Mothers filled them with a mixture of pounded nuts, meat and water.
An oral contraceptive is a substance taken by mouth to prevent pregnancy. Recorded instances of American Indians taking such substances date back to the 1700s, more than 200 years before the creation of a man-made substance by western medicine. One of the herbs used was the stone seed, employed by the Shoshone, while the Potawatomi used the herb dogbane.
On a 1,000-year-old pottery vessel found in Guatemala, a Maya man is shown smoking a roll of tobacco leaves tied with string. The Maya word for smoking was sikkar, which became the Spanish word cigarro. Once settlers had learned from Indians how to cultivate tobacco, cigar factories sprung up. One of them, an early cigar factory in Pennsylvania, gave the cigar its playful moniker the "stogie."

Making Tax Digital (MTD)
The government plans to move to a fully digital tax system by 2020 so you will no longer need to submit annual tax returns. The Making Tax Digital system will collect your tax data in digital format. Taxpayers will be able to see all their tax information in one place.
Four principles have been laid down by HMRC in their process of removing the need for the filing of tax returns.
1. Tax simplified - No duplication of information.
2. Tax in one place - All tax data in one place, the "digital account" and various taxes can be netted off against each other.
3. Businesses - HMRC will be digitally updated by businesses on a quarterly basis to enable interim tax calculations.
4. Individuals - Enabling individuals to see their whole tax situation in one place and providing digital interaction with HMRC.
Making Tax Digital - Time Line
The timeline for Making Tax Digital is a movable feast at the moment, so revisit this page for updates.
- MTD Pilot (Jan to Jun 2017)
Consultation and testing starts for collecting property letting and other income. New online HMRC billing system starts.
- Digital Tax Accounts (Jul - Dec 2017)
Digital tax accounts show all tax liabilities in one place. Automated tax code adjustments for PAYE.
- Digital Tax Accounts (Jan - Jun 2018)
Interest paid by banks and building societies begin to be shown in tax accounts.
- Quarterly Reporting (Jul-Dec 2018)
The self-employed, businesses and landlords with turnover above the VAT Threshold (currently £85,00 from 1 April 2017) will begin providing HMRC quarterly with National Insurance and Income Tax using "ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE". What this accounting software should be is still under development.
- Going Main Stream + VAT (2019)
The self-employed, businesses and landlords with turnover between the minimum MTD threshold £10,000 and the VAT Threshold (currently £85,00 from 1 April 2017) will begin providing HMRC quarterly with National Insurance and Income Tax using "ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE". MTD also starts for VAT.
- MTD is the Norm (2019)
By 2020 most self-employed, businesses and landlords will be required to provide HMRC on a quarterly basis .
A full range of services will be available through HMRC digital tax accounts

The simplest means of indicating verification or correctness is a single stroke, hence a tick or check mark.
Striking through is a simple pictoral means of negation such as the struck through cigarette in a No Smoking sign.
So X is basically a struck through check mark or tick indicating incorrectness.
Note that this convention is far from universal. In Japan, a tick means wrong and a circle means correct. For verification purposes in check boxes, crosses and ticks can often be used interchangeably. _URL_

This policy guide note synthesises the findings of the final report for RP3038: Lower Income Barriers to Low Carbon Living. In summary:
- Broad engagement with lower income households, industry, government and other stakeholders reveals that energy deprivation is an increasing problem in Australia which impacts upon the social wellbeing of communities.
- There are a wide range of financial and non-financial barriers limiting the ability of lower income households to address energy deprivation.
- The government's approach to energy and support mechanisms varies from state to state and nationally, further exacerbating the problem.
- We present a range of policy recommendations across three categories, namely information provision, financial assistance, and regulatory controls.

Home Discussion Forum What does E = MC2 mean?you know what Albert Einstein was talking...
What does E = MC2 mean?you know what Albert Einstein was talking about does it mean that time travel is?
 1. The equation you quote says that mass and energy are equivalent forms of the same thing. The equations he used in his theories said that time travel was impossible.
 2. Stephen Hawking has already addressed this question. Time travel is not possible…One of Einstein's great insights was to realize that matter and energy are really different forms of the same thing. Matter can be turned into energy, and energy into matter.
 3. E=ENERGY,
 4. This doesn't mean that time travel is possible.
 It is a particle theory which means mass can be converted into energy.
 We use this in nuclear fusion.
 Sun's energy is the basis of this.
 5. It represents that energy and matter are diffirent aspects of the same. They are interchangable!
 And According to the theory of the Einstein-Rosen (Nathan Rosen) Bridge, time travel could be possible via a wormhole created by opposing singularities.
 6. E is the energy needed by an object to move
 M is the weight of the object
 C is the velocity the object is moving at.
 I think the equation can be extended and tied into his black hole theories for time travel but I'm not sure…
 7. Energy=mass x speed of light squared (in a vacuum). So energy can be converted to mass (mass=energy/speed of light squared) and the other way around. Intuitively, time travel is impossible (you cannot have the effect before the cause), but there are many things that science has revealed which are anti-intuitive. It should be impossible, but….
 8. E (energy) = M (mass) multiplied by C squared (the speed of light squared).
 This formula theorises that there is a relationship between the speed of light, any object of mass and it's relative potential energy.
 It is unclear as to whether time travel is possible as nobody has actually proved it is possible to travel at a speed greater than the speed of light. However, Einstein did suggest that a relative speed quicker than light might be observed if two objects were travelling in opposite directions through the universe at speeds close to the speed of light – the total speed that these two objects would be travelling away from one another would be greater than the speed of light.
 If an object of mass could get up to the speed of light, Einstein (and several others after him) propsed that the object would have to be broken down into energy form, rather than solid/liquid state – hence the energy equivalent in his equation.
 Whether speeds above the speed of light would, in fact cause time travel, is quite another argument – one that Stephen Hawking has given much research to and concluded that time travel is unlikely to be achieved at all, and almost definitely not by exceding the speed of light. If it's good enough for him….
 9. E = mC*C
 E is the unstable energy. "m" is the stable (form of) energy. C is the speed of light or also its velocity in the sense thet light always travels in a straight line. According to the law of conservation of mass, energy can exist in any form. Here it is as stable and unstable. What we all see is the mass of energy. What we do not or cannot see is the unstable energy.What Einstein talks about is acompletely stable form of energy can be made unstable when it attains square of velocity of light. There is nothing to do herewith time because time has no dimension. You can show the length and mass of a body but which will you show when asked about time of a body. Time requires parameter. Any body has length and mass of its own because they are determined by the virtue of physical properties. One can say what the time now is but one cannot say what his or her time is. Time materially requires a device like a clock or watch. How can you travel along a dimensionless thing forward and backward?
 10. E stands for energy
 M stands for mass
 C stands for the speed of light
 its the formula to find the amount of energy produced depending on somethings mass
 no it doesnt mean that time travel is possible
 11. E = MC^2, tells me several things staight away.
 1. As everyone has already stated that matter and energy essentially are one and the same, different forms of the same thing.
 2. It further tells me to get a lot of energy I only need a little bit of matter, the energy contained in that matter is much greater than the mass of the matter itself.
 3. I cannot get more energy from a matter than is contained within that matter.
 From my memory, didn't Einstein prove to travel at or beyond the speed of light would require infinite energy. So based on this theory that is not possible because the universe contains a certain amount of matter so to get infinite energy we would require infinte matter.
 To travel through time, is to travel close to or at the speed of light, if i recall correctly, in normal space or the known visible universe. Therefore, it seems highly unlikely that scenario is possible for us.
 Leading us to think, worm holes, black holes, or other such gateways make this a possiblility after all.
 But then we may very well view things in a different perspective one day. Today we see energy and matter as one and the same, just different forms of the same thing. One day we may also see time and space as one and the same thing, just different forms, and be able to use this in a worthwhile manner.
 But I do believe time travel will always be kept out of the hands of the average person, even governments may decide not to develop the technology after all, the risk could be too great.
 12. E = mcÂ²
 Energy = mass x 186,000 x 186,000
 If you think of the result of this equation and how infinite it virtually is, it tells you that time travel is about impossible.
 Even the smallest mass has almost infinite energy.
 13. My understanding light is curved (Geodesics) i.e. time. The speed of light is the cosmic speed limit. + for time reversal it will happen some day.

History of Gmail
The public history of Gmail dates back to 2004. Gmail, a free, ad-supported webmail service Email clients are a product of Google. Over its history, the Gmail interface has been integrated with many of the company's other products and services, with basic integration within the Google account and specific integration points. with services such as Google+, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Hangouts, Google Meet, YouTube, and Google Buzz. It was also made available as part of G Suite. The Official Gmail Blog has been tracking Gmail's public history since July 2007.
Gmail was a project started by Google developer Paul Bucheit, who was already exploring the idea of email on the web in the 1990s, prior to launching . software project as a college student. Buchheit started working on Gmail in August 2001. At Google, Buchheit first worked on Google Groups, and when asked to "create some type of email or personalization product", he created the first version of Gmail in a single application. day by reusing code from Google Groups. The project was known by the code name Caribou, a reference to Dilbert's comic about Project Caribou.
Buhite recalls that Google's high volume of internal email has created "a very large need for search." The advanced search capabilities eventually led to the consideration of providing a lot of storage space, which in turn opened up the possibility of allowing users to keep their emails forever instead of deleting them to stay within the storage limit. After looking at alternatives like 100MB, the company finally settled on 1GB of space, compared to the 2-4MB that was the standard at the time.
Buchheit had been working on Gmail for about a month when he was joined by another engineer, Sanjeev Singh, with whom he co-founded social media startup FriendFeed after leaving Google in 2006. Gmail's first product manager, Brian Rakowski, first heard about the project. day at Google in 2002, fresh out of college. In August 2003, another new Google employee, Kevin Fox, was commissioned to design the Gmail interface. When the service was finally launched in April 2004, about a dozen people were working on the project.
Initially, the software was only available internally in the form of an email system for Google employees. According to Google, the software was used internally for "several years" before it was released to the general public in 2004.
For most of its development, Gmail has been used by the skunkworks project, which is kept secret even from most people at Google. "It wasn't even guaranteed to launch - we said it had to hit the bar before we wanted to get anywhere," says Gmail interface designer Kevin Fox. By early 2004, however, almost everyone at Google was using Gmail to access the company's internal email system.
Gmail was announced to the public by Google on April 1, 2004 after extensive rumors about its availability during testing. With the release of April Fools, the company's press release sparked skepticism in the tech world, especially since Google was known for its April Fools' jokes like PigeonRank. However, they explained that their real joke was a press release saying they would take offshoring to the extreme by putting employees in the "Google Copernicus Center" on . Jonathan Rosenberg, Google's vice president of products, was quoted by BBC News as saying: "We take Gmail very seriously."
Even when the service was announced to the public, Google did not have the necessary infrastructure to provide millions of users with a reliable service with a gigabyte of space for each. Gmail ran on three hundred old Pentium III computers that no one wanted at Google. This was enough for the limited beta rollout planned by the company, which included inviting about 1,000 influencers and then giving them the opportunity to invite their friends and family members to become beta testers; testing began on March 21, 2004; and slowly grows from there.
Extended Beta Phase
Once it became clear that Gmail was real and not an April Fool's joke, invitations became highly desirable. While the limited introduction was out of necessity, it created an aura of exclusivity that contributed to its unexpected publicity. "Everyone wanted it even more. It was hailed as one of the best marketing decisions in the history of technology, but it was somewhat unintentional," says Georges Harik, who was responsible for most of Google's new products at the time.
Active users from the Blogger community were offered the opportunity to participate in the beta test on April 20, and later Gmail members received "invitations" from time to time that they could send to anyone. One round of invitations was sent out on May 1st and three more invitations were sent out to all active members on June 1st. When Gmail increased the number of invitations, the nascent market for buying and selling Gmail invitations collapsed.
In the early months of the initial beta phase, Gmail's highly touted feature set and the exclusivity of accounts caused the secondary market price of Gmail invitations to skyrocket. According to PC World magazine, Gmail invitations have sold on eBay for up to US$150, with some accounts selling for several thousand dollars. After a new round of invitations in early June, the price of invitations dropped to $2-$5. Sites like Gmail Swap emerged to allow philanthropic Gmail users to gift invitations to those who wanted them. On June 28, 2004, Google amended its policy to prohibit the sale of registered accounts.
In January 2005, security experts discovered a critical flaw in the handling of Gmail messages that allowed hackers to easily access personal email from any user's Gmail account. This was posted with details on a popular technology site at 9:23 AM PST on January 12, 2005. On January 13, 2005, the Gmail developers announced that they had fixed the problem and that the security issue had been fixed. fixed. Despite Gmail's status as a beta application, some users who used Gmail as their primary email account raised concerns. On April 1, 2005, exactly one year after the first release, Gmail increased the mailbox size to 2 GB, advertising it as "2 GB plus", and introduced some other new features, including format editing, which gave users the ability to send messages in the format HTML. or plain text.
On June 7, 2005, the Gmail invitation spooler was deactivated by the site owner at the direct request of the Gmail product manager to shut it down. The service was featured in Popular Science and provided over 1.2 million Gmail accounts.
As of June 22, 2005, the Gmail canonical URI has changed from _URL_ to _URL_ As of November 2015, those entering the first URI were redirected to the second.
On November 2, 2006, Google began offering a mobile app version of Gmail for . In addition, Sprint has separately announced that it will make this app available from its Vision and Power Vision homepages pre-loaded on select new Sprint phones. The app provides Gmail with its own custom menu system, and the site displays attachments such as photos and documents in the app.
On January 28, 2007, Google Docs and Sheets was integrated with Gmail, providing the ability to open attached Microsoft Word DOC files directly from Gmail.
On October 24, 2007, Google announced that IMAP is available for all accounts, including Google Apps for your domain.
On June 5, 2008, Google introduced Gmail Labs.
On December 8, 2008, Google added a to-do list. When the new Tasks feature is enabled, a box appears at the top of the Gmail window. In it, users can add, reorder, and delete tasks. You can also set a due date for each action and even convert emails into tasks.
On December 12, 2008, support for PDF viewing was added to Gmail.
On February 24, 2009, Gmail experienced a two and a half hour outage affecting 100 million accounts.
On July 7, 2009, Gmail officially exited beta status in an effort to get more users into the business.
On September 1, 2009, Gmail experienced another outage for several hours.

On July 4, 2005, Google announced that Gmail Deutschland would be renamed Google Mail. The gmail.com domain has become unavailable in Germany due to trademark disputes, in which case users should use the googlemail.com domain. From now on, visitors originating from an IP address defined as Germany will be redirected to googlemail.com where they can get an email address.
The domains are interchangeable, so users who are required to use the googlemail.com domain cannot select addresses already selected by gmail.com users. Incoming emails sent to googlemail.com or gmail.com addresses will be delivered to the user.
The naming issue in Germany stemmed from a trademark dispute between Google and Daniel Hirsch, who owns the German company G-mail, which provides a service to print email from senders and send the printout via direct mail to intended recipients. On January 30, 2007, the EU Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market ruled in favor of Gersh.
