The TUC believes that violence against women is both a cause and a consequence of women's inequality, that it has a serious impact on mental and physical health and is costly to the state and to the community in terms of criminal justice, health and other resources. Whether it is physical, psychological or sexual and whether it occurs in the home, in the workplace or within the wider community, violence devastates women's life chances around the world. The TUC believes that gender based violence is a trade union priority and works to eliminate it both in the UK and internationally.
According to Government figures, domestic violence accounts for 15% of all recorded violent crime and results in 2 homicides a week. Women are the victims and men are the perpetrators in 4 out of 5 domestic homicides.
Domestic violence harms women and has a devastating impact on children in the family. The cost to public services such as the criminal justice system, housing, health and social services has been estimated to be around £23bn, and a cost to the economy of £2.7bn. At least 47,000 women report rape every year in the UK. Many rapes still go unreported and less than 6% of reported rapes result in a conviction, one of the lowest rates in Europe.
The TUC believes that violence against women and domestic violence is a trade union issue, and has conducted surveys of trade union members about their experiences of domestic violence. The results of the TUC's work within the trade union movement and without have emphasised the need to take a broad approach to violence against women in order to be truly effective in tackling it, and the need to challenge violence both within the workplace as well as in the home. Affiliates and respondents to surveys have emphasised the need to educate young people about domestic violence and violence against women, and the need to use workplaces to disseminate information to domestic violence victims.
As a result of the findings of the survey, the TUC has produced a guide for employers and trade unions on tackling domestic violence as it impacts on the workplace, copies of which are available from TUC publications - _URL_
The TUC is also committed to working towards:
End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW)
The TUC is an active member of End Violence Against Women (EVAW), a coalition made up of organisations tackling violence against women, alongside the Women's National Commission, Amnesty International (UK) and the TUC.
As a member of the Coalition, the TUC identifies a broad focus on the issue of violence against women as the most effective and coherent way of tackling both domestic violence and other gender-based violence endured by girls and women. In the UK, violence includes, but is not restricted to domestic violence, rape and sexual violence, stalking, sexual harassment, forced marriage, Female Genital Mutilation, so called 'honour' crimes and killings, trafficking and forced prostitution. The TUC also plays an active part in EVAW's 'Making the Grade' series which reports on the Government's efforts to address violence against women in all its forms across all departments. Further information about EVAW and access to information and resources can be found on its website _URL_
Reclaim the Night
The TUC is a supporter of 'Reclaim the Night', the national, annual march which affirms women's rights to use public spaces without fear and raises awareness of the threat or reality of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment that women have to negotiate. Further information about the march can be found at the Reclaim the Night website _URL_.
White Ribbon Day – 25 November
The TUC supports the work of the White Ribbon Campaign which works with football clubs to highlight the need to eliminate male violence against women. In 2008 the TUC marked the day by working with the Campaign and the PFA to commit the trade union movement to ending violence against women and bringing awareness of its message to new audiences. Further information about the work of the campaign is available at _URL_
Tackling violence against women takes a central place in the TUC's international work. Violence against women restricts women's life chances and opportunities around the world. In particular, violence against women is frequently used to suppress their political rights. The TUC works with trade unions around the world to support their ongoing struggles for human rights and women's rights and has placed particular focus on Colombia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Ethiopia. Violence against women is particularly acute in conflict zones where women and girls find themselves on the frontline. The TUC has been raising awareness of the devastating impact that conflicts can have on the educational opportunities and life chances of girls around the world through supporting the work of 'Plan' whose 2008 'State of the World's Girls' "State of the World's Girls" report focuses on the plight of girls in conflict and post-conflict countries. Further details of this campaign can be found on _URL_.
The TUC also takes part in international work on violence against women as a member of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). In 2008, the TUC took part in the 16 days of action against gender-based violence organised by the ITUC. The days of action affirmed that violence against women is a human rights violation and a leaflet entitled 'Trade Unions say NO to Violence against Women and Girls", containing ideas and support for trade unionists planning activities to mark this campaign can be downloaded from _URL_

I have been setting up a proof of concept system which has a SQL Server 2017 back end.
The system uses temporal tables to record asset configurations and track changes over time.
I have a Data table which is linked to the history table, let's call it dbo.MSSQL_TemporaryHistoryFor_12345678900.
So far so good. I have two issues:
Today I turned off versioning on the table so I could add a computed column. This was done and turned back on again without errors.
Now I find that I cannot query any historic data from before the change. New data is being added to the history, but there is nothing beforehand.
Looking inside SSMS, I can now see there are multiple history tables, all with the same name but with a hex suffix, e.g. dbo.MSSQL_TemporaryHistoryFor_12345678900_A0B1C2D3. They are not linked beneath the main data table. They are just floating around on their own inside the database. When I queried sys.tables, these are not shown as history tables and are not linked to the main data table.
These tables do contain the historical data which is missing.
The questions I have are therefore:
 - What do these additional tables represent?
 - How were they created?
 - Is there any way to somehow relink these into the main history chain so I can get my historical reporting back?
It's very frustrating so any help you can provide would be gratefully received. Thanks.

You need to provide the name of the history table in order to maintain data continuity when turning system versioning off and on. This behavior is mentioned in the documentation for ALTER TABLE:
If you don't use the HISTORY_TABLE argument, the system generates a new history table matching the schema of the current table, creates a link between the two tables, and enables the system to record the history of each record in the current table in the history table.
Here's a demo. I'll create the example table from the documentation:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Employee
(
 [EmployeeID] int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
 , [Name] nvarchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Position] varchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Department] varchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Address] nvarchar(1024) NOT NULL
 , [AnnualSalary] decimal (10,2) NOT NULL
 , [ValidFrom] datetime2 (2) GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW START
 , [ValidTo] datetime2 (2) GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW END
 , PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME (ValidFrom, ValidTo)
 )
 WITH (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON);
This results in a history table named MSSQL_TemporalHistoryFor_1253579504. Now I'll disable and enable system versioning:
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = OFF);
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON);
And I'm in your exact situation:
enter image description here
Now I'll clean everything up:
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = OFF);
DROP TABLE dbo.Employee;
DROP TABLE dbo.MSSQL_TemporalHistoryFor_1253579504;
DROP TABLE dbo.MSSQL_TemporalHistoryFor_1253579504_D0055BB4;
Then create the table with a specific history table name:
 CREATE TABLE dbo.Employee
(
 [EmployeeID] int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
 , [Name] nvarchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Position] varchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Department] varchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Address] nvarchar(1024) NOT NULL
 , [AnnualSalary] decimal (10,2) NOT NULL
 , [ValidFrom] datetime2 (2) GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW START
 , [ValidTo] datetime2 (2) GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW END
 , PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME (ValidFrom, ValidTo)
 )
 WITH (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON (HISTORY_TABLE = dbo.EmployeeHistory));
Then turn system versioning off and on, but continue specifying the history table name:
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = OFF);
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON (HISTORY_TABLE = dbo.EmployeeHistory));
Note: in your specific situation, you should be able to use this syntax to "reattach" one lost history table to your base table
No extra tables:
enter image description here
The takeaway
Always specify a history table name explicitly when creating temporal tables or enabling system versioning.
The MS docs now call this out specifically on the Stopping System-Versioning on a System-Versioned Temporal Table page:
When turning system versioning back on, do not forget to specify the HISTORY_TABLE argument. Failing to do so will result in a new history table being created and associated with the current table. The original history table will still exist as a normal table, but won't be associated with the current table.

Like the much larger "Transformer" species, a single Scraplet resembles a tiny robot and can convert into a form built entirely for camouflage — usually in the form of nuts or bolts. However, they will purposefully attach themselves to mechanical objects as fast as possible, first sticking to it like an extremely powerful magnet and then melding with it, replicating itself with incredible speed as it does so. Once embedded they are extremely difficult if not entirely impossible to remove, save for being doused in water, which is a considered a rare and deadly chemical to them from where they come from. If left embedded and uncared for, however, they will consume mechanical organisms nat by nat until they are nothing left but flimsy, rusty scrap.

The surviving remains of Buckland Abbey which are situated between the village of Buckland Monachorum and the hamlet of Milton Combe. The monument includes the upstanding and buried remains of an abbey of the Cistercian Order. The abbey was founded in 1278 by Amicia, Countess of Devon and was colonised by monks from Quarr Abbey in the Isle of Wight, and dedicated to St Benedict. Following its dissolution in 1539 the abbey and home farm were sold in 1541 to the Grenville family. By 1576 Sir Richard Grenville had completed the conversion of the church into an Elizabethan mansion. In 1581 the property was sold to Sir Francis Drake and remained with that family until 1946. In 1949 the house was given to the National Trust and is now principally in use as a museum.
The abbey conforms to the traditional monastic plan in which a church and three ranges of buildings are grouped around the cloister, with ancillary buildings further from the nucleus. The visible remains exist as a number of adapted structures, consisting of substantial parts of the abbey church incorporated into a later mansion, part of the cloister, a barn, a farm building (guesthouse), part of the abbot's lodgings incorporated into a later structure, part of the precinct wall, and two main areas of earthworks. The buried remains are extensive and include the claustral ranges, graveyard, a gatehouse, buildings forming the home farm, and the water management system. For the details of the separate components of the abbey site please see the individual records.

UQ research leads to smarter sewage management
Scientists from UQ's Advanced Water Management Centre have found a way to curb the cost – and smell – of sewage transportation.
Professor Zhiguo Yuan said bad smells were only one cost of transporting sewage.
"Bad pipes caused by hydrogen sulfide corrosion are another more noxious side-effect that costs the Australian water industry around $100 million a year," Professor Yuan said.
"Our plan is to change all that by applying to the pipes a once-a-week dose of environmentally friendly free nitrous acid (FNA).
"This will be good for both the environment and our senses."
Currently, expensive chemicals are used to deal with the inevitable smells and corrosion caused by unwanted biofilms that grow on the surfaces of wastewater infrastructure.
Apart from the cost of the chemicals, the existing "solutions" create further problems in the sewage treatment and reclaiming process, as it becomes yet another chemical to be neutralised.
"Our challenge was to find an affordable chemical that didn't harm the environment," Professor Yuan said.
The FNA kills the organisms that create the smells and corrosion, and is then removed itself by the microbial community living within the sewage pipes.
"The pipes won't rot, nor will they smell, and should actually last the 100 years they were designed for, instead of the sometimes only 10 years they currently do," Professor Yuan said.
Building on work conducted over the past decade, Professor Yuan and his team of engineers and microbiologists recently made the ground-breaking discovery that, at parts per million level, FNA is a strong biocidal agent, causing cell-death and biofilm disintegration.
"This was a very exciting breakthrough and allows us to turn our technology into a valuable business," he said.
UniQuest is managing the commercialisation of the FNA technology under the start-up company, Cloevis Pty Ltd.
Cloevis and the research team have recently demonstrated the technology in a real sewer line in southern Queensland and are now looking towards further commercial trials of the technology in both Australia and the US.
The research team is also looking at how FNA can be adapted for the control of other types of biofilms.

Wednesday, January 30,
Winter is a birthday, it tends to be more of a depression, especially due to cold and dark weather, as they tend to reduce their homes and reduce their social and physical activity.
Depression has long been linked to physical activity, but the nature of this association has, until now, left a question on the table: can it be used to reduce depression risk first?
A new study by the University Hospital of Massachusetts responded to the question. "Using genetic data, we have demonstrated that the higher levels of physical activity reduce the risk of depression," says Carmel Choi's head.
This means that if you do it regularly, it effectively reduces the risk of depression. This research is based on the set of data on the analysis of the association of physical activity and depression at the genetic level.
There were two set of physical activity data, in which the participants collected self-recorded exercise levels and data from a motion sensor.
Movement tracking sensors show that physical activity can prevent depression, but the self-recorded data set did not find that relationship.
In the study, I found that people who could not register physical activities, such as work or home cleanliness, were not registered. However, it helps to prevent the depression of any physical activity, depending on the study.
However, Choi has stated that "… of course, knowing that physical activity is useful to prevent depression is one thing, and other things really mean that people are active." More work is needed to find out how to adjust the recommendations for different categories of people with different health risks. "
Researchers are currently investigating the benefits of many people's sports and ways of promoting this information in general on physical activity.
Genetic attrition against depression must take a different perspective than those who have stressed depression.

ABSTRACT
Reactor noise, as one of the main sources of substation noise, has a significant impact on the external acoustic environment of the substation. It is very important to study reactor noise for the noise reduction analysis of the reactor. In this paper, the interference and attenuation characteristics of the acoustic field around the reactor are obtained by field measurement of the noise field distribution of the shunt reactors in the 750 kV Gansu Yongdeng substation. The simulation calculation model of electromagnetism, structure and acoustic field of the reactor is established based on the finite element method. The magnetic field distribution of the core and the coil of the reactor is obtained by the time-domain electromagnetic field analysis. The electromagnetic force between the core cakes and coil and the magnetostrictive effect in the iron core caused by the magnetic field are applied as excitation to the core and the coil. The vibration acceleration of each node on the core and coil surface is obtained by vibration analysis, which is used as the boundary condition of the sound field analysis, and finally the noise field distribution of the reactor is obtained. The simulation results are compared with the measured values, and the maximum error is less than 15%. The feasibility of the finite element model is verified, which provides the theoretical basis and control method for the reactor noise prediction and noise reduction.

1. 引言
新世纪以来，我国逐步扩大了基础设施建设规模，电力建设也得到了相应的发展。电网线路和相应的供用电设备取得了长足的发展。与此同时，相应的供电设施之一的大容量电抗器也得到了相应的开发，由于电抗器容量的增加，出现了更为严重的振动噪声问题。电抗器结构较为复杂，制作工艺繁琐，振动噪声不确定性很多，且振动噪声问题相比变压器更为严重。
电抗器作为变电站噪声的主要声源之一 [1] ，在电压等级较低时并没有引起足够的关注和重视。关于变电站噪声特性 [2] [3] 、评价 [4] 、仿真计算 [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] 的研究在不断深入，变电站内变压器噪声 [10] [11] [12] 以取得阶段性成果，但国内外电抗器噪声研究文献相对较少，电抗器噪声的声源强度较主变压器小，且尚无电抗器噪声控制标准。随着我国输电电压等级的提高，高压并联电抗器的应用越来越多，电抗器噪声问题逐渐突出，已引起了国网公司和环保部门的高度重视。
国内学者对于电抗器噪声做了很多相关研究。哈尔滨工程大学为电抗器设计了局部隔声罩及消声器，局部隔声罩的隔声效果约为7~9 dB。上下都装消声器后整体降噪效果约为13~15 dB [13] ；上海电力设计院应用一种噪声预测评估软件进行变电站的噪声计算，该软件对新建变电站的方案选择以及已建变电站的工程改造有指导作用 [14] ；上海交通大学应用有限元分析软件利用I-Deas 软件对电抗器静结构强度和振动模态进行了有限元仿真分析，证明了有限元方法可在产品设计阶段提供非常有价值的数据，使技术人员能及时调整设计方案，避免产品制造完成却未通过昂贵的振动冲击与试验而造成的巨大损失 [15] ；中国电科院对电抗器噪声做了大量研究，通过，测量站内变压器与电抗器的噪声水平及其频谱特性、衰减特性以及与功率负荷之间的关系，得到电抗器噪声能量集中在中心频率为100 Hz的倍频带上，与功率负荷关系较小 [16] ；国外学者也对电抗器噪声进行了积极的研究。2009年，日本研究人员实验发现单相电抗器的振动和磁致伸缩有关，并且水平方向的位移较大，他们在横向增加了一组气隙，采用较大硬度的气隙，使得噪音大大降低 [17] 。
本文基于有限元法建立了并联电抗器的电磁、结构、声场仿真计算模型，通过时域电磁场分析得到了电抗器铁心与线圈中的磁场分布，在充分考虑了磁场所引起的铁心饼间电磁力以及铁心中产生的磁致伸缩效应和线圈中的电磁力的基础上，通过振动分析得到铁心和线圈表面各节点的振动加速度，并将其作为声场分析的边界条件，最终得到电抗器噪声声场分布情况。本文通过多物理场耦合计算的方法考虑了物理场之间的相互影响，

Recent research has shown that a considerable number of small businesses will fail due to fraud and related crimes. Fortunately, check handling and clearing can make all the difference. CTS stand for Checks truncation system.
Until recently, most banks have had to struggle with verifying checks before they could clear them. A CTS scanner can make all this seem simple and easy. The system forwards the physical checks and sends the image to the drawee bank branch reducing the time it took to process payments. This provides a reliable system that ensures the validity of a check. Here are six benefits of using Panini CTS scanners.
MICR is a system that helps you recognize electronic ink. Checks carry hidden information that is used to identify important information about them. The MICR checks the validity of a check by verifying the information on each document. There is no room for fraud when you have a CTS scanner. The scanner will verify all the information on the check and ensure that the payments made are real and valid. This will prevent fraud and bounced checks. If you are running an organization, payments made to your company need thorough checking.
Remember when you used to wait for days or even a month for that check? Many people avoid taking checks in fear that the money takes a long process to get to them. In a case where you need to cash out a check to make another deposit possibly for your business, you want to get that done as quickly as possible. A CTS scanner will handle the process of check clearing. With the system, you can get your money in the shortest time possible which works best for businesses and individuals. You do not have a short time. Billing also needs to be quick and easy and this system is there for that purpose.
Ease of use
The Panini CTS scanner is very easy to use. If you need a system that you can get right down to work with then this will work for you. You can operate the machine without training. All you need is to get a manual and get right down to work. If you are not a techie you can still manage to get work done effortlessly with this scanner. There are no complicated practices on how to deal with the system giving you an easy time while running your business.
Efficiency means that every other detail you need from the check is handled with accuracy. Errors can be costly but with the scanner, you have no room for errors. The system is dependable as sometimes you may have a busy day making transactions. You can be sure that the system will not fail you when you need it most. It comes with all the resources you need like the smart chip card reader, bar code reader among other features that are useful in modern business setups.
Data retrieval and storage
Old fashioned methods of storing data are easy to compromise. However, the Vision X CTS scanner has a way for you to save your data for future use. Once you run any document through the scanner, you can access it later as you first had it. The good imaging offers you timeless service. The system backs up everything and keeps it safe. When you need evidence of a past transaction, you can easily search on the system and get what you need.
Better customer service
Explaining to your customers a problem with checks and billing can be hectic. Many people will even avoid making any transactions with you if you do not have the right technology. A customer will be happy when they can easily get their bills as well as make convenient payments. When one wants to buy something in a store, they will be more likely to take it if the mode of payment is easy and convenient. Smart entrepreneurs will ensure that their customers can make easy and safe payments to keep them streaming in over and over again. This is the best way to gain customers' confidence.

Welcome to the Galápagos Islands. 13 major islands, 6 smaller islands, and numerous islets that are full of unique biodiversity, some of which you canút find anywhere else in the world. It's such a unique island and it should defintely be on your bucket list. Flight details are very easy to find so it should be easy to plan your trip!
And while coffee may not be a plant exclusive to the Galápogos Islands, something about it here is unusual. It's widely accepted that coffee grown at higher altitudes is better quality â€" especially when it's close to the equator, like this archipelago is. Yet specialty-grade coffee is grown at surprisingly low altitudes here, from 200 to 300 m.a.s.l.
So I spoke to Wilson Gonzalez of Productora de Café Galápagos to find out more about coffee in the Galápagos Islands â€" and why altitude isn't always an indicator of quality.

What Does Altitude Have to Do With Coffee Quality?
Although coffee grows in hot climates, coffee grown at cooler temperatures will often be better quality. This is because the beans will ripen more slowly, developing more sugars and complexity as they do so.
Generally speaking, the higher the altitude, the cooler the temperature. However, this will vary depending on the country's latitude. The farther it is from the equator, the cooler the temperature usually becomes.
For this reason, a coffee grown at a lower altitude in Hawaii could have more sweetness than a higher altitude Venezuelan (or it could not â€" there are many factors that affect sweetness, including plant species/variety, production and processing methods, and roasting/brewing).
High-altitude coffee is also known as hard beans, or dense coffee, and it will affect how the beans need to be roasted. While roasters, baristas, and consumers all see high altitude as a sign of good coffee, it can result in decreased yields for producers.

Coffee Production on The Galápagos Islands
First of all, a quick overview of coffee production on these islands: Wilson tells me that, around 135 years ago, the first coffee seeds were brought here from French colonies in the Caribbean (stopping in Panama along the way). These were Bourbon seeds, and Bourbon remains the main variety grown on these islands today.
Other varieties were introduced 40â€"50 years ago by emigrants from the Loja Province of Ecuador: Caturra, Typica, CatuaÃ, Sachimorâ€¦ You'll mostly find these these on Santa Cruz Island.

Harvesting & Processing
The main producing islands are San CristÃ³bal and Santa Cruz; more than 90% of the archipelago's population lives on these islands. As of such, they account for 80% of the archipelago's coffee.
William tells me that most of the coffee is also hand-picked, and the vast majority is washed processed, with dry processing accounting for the rest.
What's more, the Galápagos Islands are one of those few regions with two coffee harvests a year: February to March and November to December. This is thanks to the Humboldt current.

Sea Currents & Altitude
The Galápagos Islands sit on the equator, meaning there's intense sunshine from 6am to 6pm, with little variation throughout the year. Add to that low altitude, and you'd expect poor-quality coffee.
Yet although the islands receive intense sun, they don't receive intense heat. In fact, William describes the climate as similar to what you'd expect at 1,200â€"1,300 m.a.s.l. Even in the hottest months, the temperature rarely reaches above 30/31Â°C. And in July to September, the dry season, it can drop below 20Â°C.
William explains that this because of the Humboldt Current. A low-salinity ocean current, it flows north along the west coast of South America from the Southern Cone up to northern Peru and out to the Galapágos Islands. It brings with it cool marine breezes that bring down land temperature.
This is part of the reason why low-altitude coffee from the Galápagos Islands can taste and roast like high-altitude coffee from other parts of the Americas.

What Does Coffee From The Galápagos Islands Taste Like?
William tells me that coffee from the Galápagos Islands is typically sweet, with a caramel flavor, medium body, high aroma, and nice acidity.
Part of the reason for this delicious profile is the unique microclimate, with the cool sea breezes and ocean current. It can also be attributed to the varieties; for example, Bourbon tends to be sweet. Then there's the careful processing and production methods.
Soil quality is another key aspect: the Galápagos Islands were created from the frequent eruption of volcanoes over time. The layering of these â€" at the time, underwater â€" volcanoes built up until they emerged from the ocean. Volcanic soil is rich in nutrients, such as nitrogen, which is particularly important for growing and harvesting coffee.
If you were to look at the low altitude of the Galápagos Islands, and their position on the equator, it would be easy to write them off as a bad region for coffee production. Yet many factors influence coffee quality: altitude, yes, but also ocean/air currents, geographic location, local microclimates, soil, processing, and more.
Whether it's from Brazil or Ecuador, it's important to always look at range of information available about a coffee. Or, even better, judge for yourself based on how it tastes in the cup.

Plans in this Unit
This unit was created by Laura Beardsley. Modified and updated for SAS by Kimberly L. Parsons, Education Intern, and Historical Society of Pennsylvania.


errors between the actual coordinates of the beacons in a stationary state and the positioning coordinates as a line graph. This feature is useful for positioning system engineers to check the accuracy of positioning.
The horizontal axis is the scanning time, the vertical axis is the error; the smaller the error value, the higher the positioning accuracy.
When the beacons to be displayed on the graph is selected from the picker floating window (described later), the positioning error is displayed on the vertical axis within the time range specified by [Time].
During the test before operating an IPS, this feature becomes useful for checking whether the positioning accuracy that suffices the operation. In addition, the accuracy of positioning varies due to changes in the indoor environment, so use this feature in a timely manner to check the positioning accuracy.
Note:
When the automatic update button is running in AUTO mode, or the update button is clicked in MANUAL mode, the error graph is updated with the latest positioning information.
About The Basic Operation of QuickIPS
This section explains basic operations of QuickIPS.
Three modes: AUTO, MANUAL and HISTORY
QuickIPS has three operational modes: AUTO, MANUAL, and HISTORY. Each mode is selected from the pull-down menu by clicking "Execution mode" in the figure below.
AUTO Mode
button will be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. Click it to automatically update the Floor map, Heatmap, and Error graph with the latest data. Click ■ to stop automatic update.
MANUAL Mode
This mode, unlike AUTO mode, does not update the information automatically. To update with the latest information, click displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
HISTORY Mode
In this mode, Floor map, Heatmap, and Error graphs can be displayed based on the past coordinate data.
Header Part
This section explains how to use the header part at the top of the screen.
Submenu button
Click to display the pop-up menu. Select from the following menu items:
Scatter map (floor map using scatter graph)
Floor map (floor map using objects)
Heatmap
Error graph (distance error graph)
Execution mode
Select from AUTO, MANUAL, and HISTORY described earlier.
Time Specify the range of ScanCode (date and time when the scan was executed in YYMMDDMMDDSS format).
Note:
ScanCode is automatically generated by TPC_IPS.
ScanCode navigation
Buttons for moving/selecting between ScanCodes within the range specified in [Time]
| <: Move to first
>: Move to next
<: Move to previous
> |: Move to last
Picker button Display a picker/floating window (described later) for selecting the target beacon and ScanCode.
Error summary button Display the error summary floating window (described later) that displays the details of the positioning error.
Picker Floating Window
This window is used for selecting the target beacon(s) and ScanCode in the Floor map, Heatmap, and Error graph. This window is always in the foreground until it is closed with the x button.
Beacon list List of beacons. Click to select or deselect. The selected beacons are displayed in pink. The selected beacons will be displayed on the Floor map. Up to six beacons can be displayed in the Error Graph.
Beacon name format
Click to switch the format of the beacon name displayed on the floor map.
Name: Display only beacon name
MM/Name: Display Major-Minor and beacon name
All button
Select all beacons
None button
Deselect all beacons
ScanCode list
A list of ScanCodes within the range specified by [Time]. Click to select and the floor map and heatmap will be displayed based on the coordinate data with that ScanCode.
Error Summary Floating Window
The error summary floating window displays a summary of the positioning errors of the selected beacon(s) from the picker floating window. The line chart of the error graph can display up to 6 beacons at a time, but there is no limit to the number of beacons that can be selected in this summary.
This window is always in the foreground until it is closed with the x button.
Positioning error summary The positioning error of the beacons in the stationary state is displayed for each beacon. Displays the average, maximum, minimum, and standard deviation of the positioning error of the beacon selected from the beacon list. The last line shows the aggregated value of all selected beacons. The aggregation target is the time range specified in [Time].
Error type
The buttons for selecting the type of error and the error calculation formula when each button is selected are as follows:
Distance: Sqrt((ax - ex)^2 + (ay - ey)^2)
Coordinates: Abs(ax - ex) + Abs(ay - ey)
Note:
- ax, ay: feal coordinate x, y
- ex, ey: positioning coordinate x, y
Use on iPhone/iPad
Two types of Floor maps, Heatmap, and Error graph features are also available on iPhone/iPad (iOS). These screens use the same screens as those for PCs, so that cost-effective development will be possible.
QuickIPS on iPhone
You need to take an extra care on PC/iOS representation when developing an IPS application
Integrating QuickIPS With an External System
QuickIPS has a table called locLog that stores coordinates data; the data in locLog is retrieved and processed for the QuickIPS features described earlier.
If the database on the external system has a table or view that is compatible with locLog, then the data can be imported into locLog table for QuickIPS.
locLog Table Structure
When using QuickIPS with an external database other than TPC_IPS, create a table based on the QuickIPS locLog table schema.
Field name Data type Input Remarks
uuid text
Mandatory
Beacon uuid
major numeric Mandatory Major assigned to the beacon
minor numeric Mandatory Minor assigned to the beacon
beaconName text Beacon name, required for displaying beacon information
x numeric Mandatory X coordinate of the positioned beacon
y numeric Mandatory The y coordinate of the positioned beacon
actual_x numeric The actual x coordinate of the beacon [Note 1]
actual_y numeric The actual y coordinate of the beacon [Note 1]
scanCode numeric Mandatory 12-digit number representing the scan time stamp (YYMMDDHHMMSS) [Note 2]
timestamp timestamp Date and time the record was created
Note:
 1. actual_x and actual_y are the coordinates of the actual beacon used during the positioning accuracy test. The positioning error is calculated using these values and the measured coordinate values.
 2. When using QuickIPS, a scanCode generated for each scan is required. When generating scanCode on an external system, make sure that each sensor executes the scan at the same timing, and set the same value (YYMMDDHHMMSS) to scanCode for each scan. For example, when the beacon/tag signal is scanned at 2022/1/1 0:0:0, "220101000000" is stored to the scanCode of each record on the server etc. regardless of the clock of the sensor/receiver.
Importing Data From an External Database into QuickIPS locLog Table
The external table data as described above can be imported into QuickIPS locLog table in the following manner:
 1. Register the given DSN with the ODBC driver for the external database on the computer running QuickIPS
 2. Specify the table name to be fetched and the field names of the external table corresponding to the locLog table.
 3. Perform data import using External Data Import screen
About Customizing QuickIPS
The floor map using objects mentioned earlier can be customized as described in the figure below.
SVG spot icons and the beacon information objects (painted in pink in the figure for visibility, but they are actually transparent) have coordinate attributes respectively, so they need to be placed according to the coordinate attributes. For example, the object of the coordinate (2, 8) needs to be placed at coordinate (2, 8) on the floor map.
When creating a floor map for a large facility, the floor map image needs to be splitted, so that those floor map images will be imported on the newly created multiple layouts, tabs, and slides respectively.
QuickIPS will be released separately from TPC_IPS as a FileMaker template.
* QuickIPS specifications and schedule are subject to change without notice.

In Toronto, a series of recent stabbings has raised concerns about knife violence. One question that people often ask is how assailants conceal the knife – at least enough to get close to a victim. Knives, after all, are close to medium range weapons that require the attacker to close distance and, in many cases, surprise the victim.
Here are 6 ways an attacker might conceal his weapon.
1. Covered. A person can use a jacket, sweater, even a rolled newspaper magazine or newspaper to conceal a sharp weapon. It is very inconspicuous and allows the attacker to get close to victims without arousing suspicion.
2. Behind His Back. This is more conspicuous as it is a less natural position and usually happens when they are concealing something.
3. Behind his leg. Not as obvious as behind the back but seeing a man approach with a straight arm should around suspicion. People usually move their arms when they walk.
4. Arms are crossed. This can be difficult to detect as it is a natural position and can easily conceal a smaller weapon.
5. Knife in Palm. Hand on the side, fingers facing down, the back of their hand facing you so you cannot see what is in the palm of their hand. It is not a natural position and should evoke suspicion and caution.
6. Bag/backpack/pocket. He approaches, gym bag over his shoulder, reaches in and pulls out a knife. It takes him longer to access the weapon but since people are often carrying bags, he is not attracting attention. Reaching in his pocket is not in itself alarming but consider the context. What if he is walking quickly towards you?
It is worthwhile, and unsettling, to watch footage of assaults with sharp objects. Watch the attacker's hands before the attack and note where they are. Also, when training, have your partner adapt some of these positions and learn to identify them quickly and to defend if they can close distance and deploy the weapon.

Healthy diet means better mental health (Australia)
Australian researchers have shown that a nutritious diet has a significant, positive effect on mental health and can even aid in the prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety.
Researchers from the University of Melbourne have been studying the impact of teenage diets on depressive symptoms since 2005. Over 2000 study participants, age 11 to 18 years, were sampled from 2005 to 2006, and again in 2007 to 2008. Diet quality and mental health baselines were established at the beginning of the study and followed up throughout the project.
After adjustments for sociodemographic variables and exercise, it was found that a good quality diet predicted better mental health than any other factor. Furthermore, dietary changes matched mental health states during the investigation. In other words, improved diet was reflected in improved mental health and a poor quality diet filled with snacks and highly processed foods was associated with a deterioration in mental health.
These results corroborate the 2010 findings of the same research team wherein diet and mental health outcomes of Australian women across a wide range of ages were studied. In that investigation, researchers found that women who ate a diet of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, high quality meat and fish reduced their risk of depression, dysthymia and anxiety by more than 30 per cent. On the other hand, women eating a diet with high quantities of refined and processed foods as well as saturated fats, had a 50 per cent increased likelihood of developing depression.

Why you should never paint Office walls White
In a study from the University of Texas, researcher Nancy Kwallek tested the impact of color on productivity by giving three groups of people clerical tasks to complete in three different rooms, each painted a different color: red, white, and aqua. Some individuals, which Kwallek calls high-screeners, were able to block out the color "noise" of their surroundings, while others, low-screeners, were affected by it. The high-screeners had no difficulty working in the red room, while low-screeners tended to be distracted by the color. Both groups, however, made more errors when they worked in the white room.

HomeHow ToSQL Delete Statement: Remove One or Multiple Rows From a Table
SQL Delete Statement: Remove One or Multiple Rows From a Table
The article is dedicated to the SQL Server DELETE statement. Here you will find detailed information about how to use the query in order to remove one or several rows from one or several tables. Also, we will compare DELETE with TRUNCATE because at first glance they may seem to perform the same task.
Contents
What is the SQL DELETE command?
To begin with, let's determine the statement definition and purpose.
DELETE is a query that deletes one or multiple records from a table in SQL Server. With the statement, it is also possible to delete all data or specific data based on a condition specified in the WHERE clause. It is recommended to be careful and attentive while using DELETE, as it removes data permanently.
The basic syntax of the DELETE query
Typical syntax of the DELETE query in SQL Server looks as follows:
DELETE FROM <table_name>
WHERE <condition>;
Parameters:
 - <table_name>: a table name you want to delete rows from
 - <condition>: a condition for filtering and fetching only necessary records to be deleted
If you want the query to return deleted records, you can use RETURNING *. Thus, the statement will look like this:
DELETE FROM <table_name>
WHERE <condition>
RETURNING *;
SQL DELETE statement example
Let's review how we can use the DELETE query to drop a row from a table on the following example.
Imagine that you have the Birthdays table.
This table will be used in the queries examples provided in the next sections.
id last_name first_name date
1 Crawford Tom 1976-09-28
2 Chesterfield Mia 1990-10-05
3 Colland Sally 1987-10-10
4 Cromwell Peter 1995-03-07
5 Nutter Olivia 1986-04-23
To delete a record from the table, you need to execute the query:
DELETE FROM birthdays
WHERE id=1;
After you have done it, the row with the id equal to 1 will be deleted from the table and the following data will be preserved:
id last_name first_name date
2 Chesterfield Mia 1990-10-05
3 Colland Sally 1987-10-10
4 Cromwell Peter 1995-03-07
5 Nutter Olivia 1986-04-23
Delete a single record
You can delete one record from a table using DELETE by specifying some condition in the WHERE clause. Thus, the query will look as follows:
DELETE FROM birthdays
WHERE id=4;
The record with the id equal to 4 will be deleted from the Birthdays table.
Delete multiple records
To remove multiple rows from a table, you can use the IN operator, for instance:
DELETE FROM birthdays
WHERE id IN (1, 3, 5);
This query will delete all rows with ids equal to 1, 3, 5 from the Birthdays table.
Also, you can delete a number of rows within a range with the help of BETWEEN and AND operators. For example, you want to remove rows that have ids 3, 4 with 2, 5 inclusive:
DELETE FROM birthdays
WHERE id BETWEEN 2 AND 5
Delete all records from a table
In order to delete all data from a table, you simply need to execute the DELETE query and specify the name of the table you want to delete records from. In this case, the WHERE clause isn't appropriate:
DELETE FROM birthdays
This will delete all records from the Birthdays table.
Related rows from different tables are deleted by using the JOIN operators. In this section, we will review a deletion example with the help of the INNER JOIN statement.
Suppose you need to delete related rows from two tables: Birthdays and Vacations. You can perform the task by running the following DELETE query:
DELETE b, v
 FROM birthdays b
 INNER JOIN vacations v
 ON b.id = v.birthdays_id
 WHERE b.date = 1976-09-28;
The statement will delete all rows matching the b.date = 1976-09-28 condition from the Birthdays and Vacations tables.
Difference between SQL Server TRUNCATE and DELETE
DELETE is not the only way to remove data in SQL. There is also the TRUNCATE statement. Both are used for deleting data from a table, but each query has its own nuances.
For better visual perception, we have collected the essential differences in "TRUNCATE vs DELETE" table below:
DELETE TRUNCATE
DML (Data Manipulation Language) command. DDL (Data Definition Language) command.
Removes all data and specific data using the WHERE clause. Removes all data from a table.
Deletes records one by one at a time. Deletes all the data at a time.
Requires DELETE permission on a table. Requires ALTER permission on a table.
Locks each row in a table to be deleted. Locks a whole table for deleting.
Makes an entry for each deleted record in the transaction log. Therefore, it's slower than TRUNCATE. Has minimal logging. That's why it's much faster than DELETE.
Returns all deleted rows from a table. Doesn't return all deleted rows from a table.
Can remove records with foreign key constraints. Cannot remove records with foreign key constraints.
Here is the typical syntax for TRUNCATE in SQL:
TRUNCATE TABLE <table_name>
Parameters:
 - <table_name>: a table name you want to delete rows from.
Use DELETE query in dbForge Studio for SQL Server
Now let's see how easily we can execute the DELETE query in dbForge Studio for SQL Server. Actually, the tool suggests three alternative ways to use the statement for removing data from a table.
Way 1 – Using the Code completion feature:
1. In the SQL Editor, start typing DELETE. The drop-down menu will appear.
2. Double-click DELETE:
3. Fill the query and click Execute on the standard toolbar.
Way 2 – Using the Code snippets functionality:
1. In the SQL Editor, start typing DELETE. The drop-down menu will appear.
2. Double-click DeleteFrom:
3. Just modify the query to match your requirements and click Execute on the standard toolbar.
Way 3 – Using the Generate Script As option:
1. In Database Explorer, right-click the necessary table and navigate to Generate Script As > DELETE > To New SQL Window:
2. In the open SQL document, adjust the query and click Execute on the standard toolbar.
Conclusion
We have demonstrated the most common use cases of the DELETE statement. As you can see, dbForge Studio for SQL Server lets you write SQL queries quickly, easily, and effectively. To test-drive the tool, download its 30-day trial version and check all its advanced features for yourself.

Edible landscaping offers CT homeowners the opportunity to live a more sustainable lifestyle and enjoy a lovely view, along with delectable smells and delicious tastes, from their yard and garden area. Edible landscaping design recognizes and is built upon the fact that food plants, everything from lettuce to fruit trees, are also naturally beautiful to look at. These food sources are truly a feast for all the senses. It turns out that food doesn't necessarily have to be grown in long rows.
Healthy, Lovely and Environmentally Friendly Edible Landscapes
Edible landscaping can boost your health, because you can eat your homegrown foods with all their nutritional value still intact, rather than consuming them after they've endured truck travel over perhaps thousands of miles, all the while losing nutritional content and getting coated with insecticides. You may save money over time, and an edible landscape reduces your carbon footprint, since locally grown food doesn't require transportation (with the environmental damage that goes with all that trucking and fuel emission). An edible landscape is convenient too – just step into the backyard for a fresh apple.
Edible Landscaping Design Protects Plants and Preserves Soil
When designing an edible landscape around your home, intersperse edible plants with ornamental varieties, and use them in place of some purely decorative plants. You can think of an edible landscape as a vegetable and fruit garden — artfully arranged. This arrangement may actually help protect the plants from insects who are more likely to be attracted to their favorite fruit or veggie if it's in a huge orchard or farm field. Since soil is tilled in different small areas at different times, it maintains its nutrients for the next planting.
What You Can Grow: Edible Landscaping in CT With Fruit Trees
Our local climate in Connecticut is friendly to edible landscape design, including:
- Apple trees do well here in the CT region.
- Asian pear trees thrive among the other plants in your yard's edible landscape.
- Small fruits, such as blueberries, cherries, cranberries, grapes, raspberries and strawberries, grow like crazy in a properly designed edible landscape.
- Stone fruits do well, although nectarines and peaches are the most cold-sensitive, with buds dying off at 5 to 15 degrees below zero.
- Vegetables and herbs also make excellent additions to your edible landscape.
Edible Landscape Drawbacks
The situation is not all rosy in edible landscapes, however. Here are a few cons you might consider when contemplating your own edible landscape design:
- Your fruit might be less tasty than traditionally farmed orchard trees: You'll need to choose a very sunny location to grow the sweetest, best-tasting fruit. With a less-than-ideal amount of sun, your fruit may look lovely but lack taste.
- You'll need to water, mulch and prune the trees.
- You may need a hard hat: Fallen fruit can not only be physically painful for you, but good food may also go to waste if you're not sure how to use the fruit in your recipes or preserve it — or if you don't have a way to sell or share it. The fragrance of rotten fruit contributes to the next drawback.
- Animal attractions: Your edible landscaping is sure to attract unwelcome critters who also have a taste for the fruit you're growing.

INTERMARIUM, FEDERALISM ŞI COOPERARE ÎNTRE _PHONE_
Keywords:History of International Relations, Post WWI Europe, Józef Piłsudski, Intermarium, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
The First World War changed Europe: the fall of the Russian, German, and Austro-Hungarian empires provided the opportunity for the Kingdom of Romania to reconsider its borders, and for the polish people to re-establish a polish state. The head of the polish state, Józef Piłsudski, strived to establish Poland as a regional ruler. To do that he conceived the Intermarium. The article tries to clarify the Intermarium term and how it was used by the historians and statesmen. Through Intermarium, Józef Piłsudski, sought to fulfil his vison about the future and the role of Poland in Europe. Primarily, Intermarium was a federal program based on the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Later, Józef. Piłsudski reshaped the Intermarium's configuration and proposed a cooperation project, that failed entirely. Also, the article presents the Romanian vision on filling the vacuum of power between Russia and Germany.

Millard Fuller used to say that a home is the foundation on which human development occurs. It is also an important, positive step in working on a safer, healthier and more responsible future. Many people struggling to put food on the table, pay bills, purchase school supplies and clothing and maintain transportation to work are not thinking about repairing their homes, even though those homes might be dangerous, literally crumbling around them and their children.
The Fuller Center is an organization devoted to partnership, renewed opportunity and providing a hand up instead of a hand out. The construction and rehabilitation of simple, decent houses are the two basic ways we do this.
The work of The Fuller Center allows the elderly to live out their rest of their days comfortably in their own homes, gives families a fresh start, enables the handicapped to maintain a level of independence in accessible homes and, in some cases, transforms entire neighborhoods.


Iowa non compete law
Are non competes enforceable in Iowa?
Iowa non – compete agreements are generally enforceable if they are found necessary to protect an employer's business', not unreasonably restrictive and are not prejudicial to public interest. However, the employer cannot preclude a previous employee from making a living, at least not indefinitely.
How do you get around a non compete clause?
Typically, the only way to fight a non – compete agreement is to go to court. If you are an employee (or former employee) who signed such an agreement, this means you must violate the agreement and wait to be sued. It may be that your former employer has never sued another employee to enforce the non – compete agreement.
Is a non compete clause enforceable in New York?
In New York, courts disfavor non – compete agreements and enforce them only when necessary. non competes are enforced only when necessary to protect legitimate business interests such as trade secrets or special skills acquired during employment. non compete agreements must be reasonable in time and geographic reach.
What states do not allow non competes?
The majority of U.S. states recognize and enforce various forms of non – compete agreements. A few states, such as California, Montana, North Dakota, and Oklahoma, totally ban non – compete agreements for employees, or prohibit all non – compete agreements except in limited circumstances.

What happens if you violate a non compete?
In general, if you violate a non – compete agreement that is valid and enforceable under state law, it is likely that the employer (a party to the non – compete agreement) will file either a lawsuit for money damages against you for any actual losses suffered by your employer, or a lawsuit against you seeking to enforce
How serious are non compete agreements?
Non – compete clauses are generally not enforceable. However, LegalNature's non – compete agreement may still be used to prohibit the employee from soliciting other employees (but not customers) away from the employer.
How much does it cost to fight a non compete?
Does a non compete apply if fired?
Enforced if Fired When you sign a non – compete agreement, the enforceability of the document does not depend on why you leave a company. If you voluntarily leave or if you are fired, you still cannot go and work for a competitor, as a general rule.
Can my employer stop me working for a competitor?
When you leave a job some employers will say you can 't work for a similar business for a certain amount of time. Your contract might restrict what work you can do next, but your employer can only do this if it's needed to protect their business.

How are non competes enforced?
If an employee signs a valid non – compete it could be enforced against the employee if the employee takes a position that competes with the employee's previous employer. If the employer's interest outweighs the employees, the non – compete agreement is valid and enforceable.
Does a non compete hold up in court?
In consideration of the above factors, courts will also seek evidence that it is within the public interest to enforce the covenant. Many, if not most, non – compete clauses will be considered too restrictive to be enforced, given the level of scrutiny they must pass through.

I'm looking for references to applications of the Hairy ball theorem.
This is a result of mathematics (topology), but I am interested in applications.
I already visited wikipedia and cited references, but I need a little more explanation in magnetic fields, meteorology and applications in computer graphics. If any other application would be excellent.
I've also read some questions on this site and some articles uploaded (an article of John Milnor for example, in math.stackexchange), but none deals specifically with applications.
Maybe it's a bit difficult because I seek not know much about magnetic fields or computer graphics, but I'm just interested
I would like to know if this result is really effective to model these situations, it is mentioned briefly in some texts, but not how they actually work.

 $\begingroup$ I'm too lazy to go to the Wiki-page and see what was listed, but an obvious example is that there always exists a point on the earth where the wind is not blowing. (To be rigorous we must add the qualifier that vertical winds are allowed to exist at such points, i.e. tornadoes or whatever upward-drift you can think of) $\endgroup$ – Chris Gerig Jun 12 '12 at 21:11

 $\begingroup$ Good way to confuse electromagnetism students: Ask them to describe the instantaneous electric field created by an isotropic light source (like the sun or a red-hot particle). If you don't understand incoherent light, the question seems impossible to answer thanks to the hairy ball theorem. I wouldn't quite call that an "application" though. $\endgroup$ – Steve Byrnes Jun 13 '12 at 3:55
One recent example is an application to magnetic flux lines in type-II superconductors (link: Nature). See also this link.
You could also this an application in this answer, which shows that there is always at least two points on Earth where the geomagnetic field is vertical.

Understanding matchmaking in FUT is a key issue. In an earlier article, we confirmed that FUT seasons matches you against opponents with similar skills, in effect what is known as ELO matchmaking. Based on those findings, an intriguing question came up: If our opponents are as skilled as ourselves, then how come that some players win 60 % of their matches, while others only win 20 %? In this article, we try to come up with a qualified guess to answer that question.
To confirm that that FUT seasons uses ELO matchmaking, we used our dataset covering 218 random players and their 10 latest opponents. For each of these ~2,200 players, we calculated a skill rating consisting of win ratio, best completed division and goal difference per match. In the chart below, we plotted each of our 218 base players, having the "average skill level of the player's 10 latest opponents" as the Y-coordinate and the base player's own skill level as the X-coordinate.
The chart confirms the existence of a relationship (correlation) between the player's own rating and the average ratings of his 10 latest opponents. Speaking statistics, this implies that you are more likely to come up against an opponent who is on par with you skill-wise than the opposite.
To further support his conclusion, take a look at the two charts below, where we have created random matches within the same player population that forms the basis of the actual data set used above.
- Yellow chart: We matched players completely randomly. For each base player, we picked 10 random opponents within the full population of 3200 opponents.
- Red chart: We picked three, random opponents per match and chose the the opponent's whose skill rating came closest to the skill rating of our base player's own skill rating.
It is clearly visible is that the red chart comes significantly closer to the actual matchmaking results (the blue chart above) than the yellow chart.
The flat S
Although the game has a preference for opponents with similar skill levels, not all players have the same probability of getting matched against an opponent who is below and above them in terms of skill.
When we look at the lowest rated players (to the far left), their average opponents are somewhat superior, whereas the average opponents of the better players to the right were slightly inferior to the players themselves. If we draw a trend line (red) through the data set, we see a "flat S"-shaped curve rather than the straight, 45 degree line, which we would have seen if everyone's average opponents had the same rating as themselves.
How come, that bad players on average get opponents who are slightly superior to themselves, whereas good players get opponents who are slightly inferior to themselves?
The bell shaped curve
Less successful players get a higher percentage of superior opponents, while more successful players get a higher percentage of inferior opponents than the average player. Our best candidate for an explanation for that has to do with the way, players are distributed skill-wise.
As would have been the case if we were measuring height, shoe size or intelligence, the majority of players are average skilled with a small minority having extraordinarily good skills and an approximately similar sized group having extraordinarily poor skills. In statistical terms, we call this a normal distribution. When plotted into a chart, it shows up as a bell shaped curve. Below, I have plotted two different, skill-related stats: Win-ratio (orange) and the combined Skill rating (blue).
The consequence of this distribution is that players with different skill profiles face different probabilities of pulling superior and inferior opponents.
If we for a second forget about ELO matchmaking and assume that matchmaking is completely random, a player with a win ratio of 30 % would have 97 % chance of pulling an opponent with a higher win ratio, whereas a player with a win ratio of 35 % would have 14 % chance of pulling an opponent with a lower win ratio.
The fact that FUT uses ELO matchmaking doesn't change the basic fact that you only can get matched against opponents who (a) have decent connectivity to you and (b) are searching for a match at the same time. Hence, at the end of the day, the matchmaking algoritm will have to pick the best available match in terms of ELO ranking among the alternatives available at the given time.
Even though the game will pick the best available match, the best available match for a bad player is more likely to be a superior player than an inferior player, which probably is why our blue curve has it's flat S-shape.
The number of alternatives available
You might have noticed that even though our ELO simulation (the red chart) had some resemblance with the actual matchmaking results (the blue chart), the curves weren't exactly the same: The red curve appears "tighter packed", which translated into human language means that our simulation is too effective in finding opponents with a similar skill level when compared to what is possible in the real world.
Considering that approximately 5,000 FIFA matches are started every minute, one might have expected a success rate when looking for similarly skilled opponents. So, how come that the actual matchmaking results appear as random as they do?
We can come up with minimum three, possible reasons.
- One is that our ELO rating system isn't the same system that EA is using, meaning that our assessment of the players' skill levels is somewhat off. In essence, we don't know how accurate our skill ranking system is. Hence, although the actual matches appear more random through the binoculars that we build for ourselves, we don't know whether they appear equally random through EA's presumably even more accurate binoculars.
- The second possibility is statistical accuracy. After all, we calculate the average opponent's skill level based on just 10 opponents. The inevitable consequence is that we will have more outliers, as just one odd opponent will skew the average considerably.
- The third possible reason is that the game, in spite of the large number of matches being started, perhaps doesn't have that many alternatives available when trying to find a match due to connectivity restrictions. Below, we ran the same simulation with 3 respectively 2 opponent alternatives per match. It is clearly visible that the more alternatives available, the more even matches will you get. The resemblance between the actual matchmaking (the blue curve) and the simulation with only two alternatives available is clearly bigger than when we allow the simulation to chose between three opponents.

If you want to go high bandwidth, fiber optics is the way to go. From trans-oceanic cables to the yet-unseen 'fiber to every home,' fiber optics allows a lot more bandwidth than a copper cable. In low-bandwidth applications, fiber optic cable transmits data using one color of light. There's a way to get more bandwidth out of a fiber optic cable, as [Shahriar] found out while experimenting with an RGB LED.
For his experiment, [Shahriar] used a BlinkM programmable RGB LED and a Sparkfun color sensor. In fiber optic lines with one light, it is possible to send many simultaneously using PWM, but noise becomes a problem at high data rates. Using an RGB LED, [Shahriar] sends three levels of Red, Green, and Blue to transmit 9 bits at a time – perfect for sending a byte with a parity check in one quick light burst.
[Shahriar]'s technique is exactly how the pros pump massive amounts of data through a single fiber optic cable. All the tools, code, and MATLAB functions are available on [Shahriar]'s site, ready to be used by anyone wanting to experiment for themselves.
In the video after the break, [Shahriar] breaks everything down, including the tools, theory, and actual circuits. It's an amazing video demo, so thorough we're wondering if [Shahriar] has any teaching ambitions.


text: [en] T2 control charts are used to monitor a process when more than one quality variable associated with the process is being observed. Recent studies have shown that using variable sampling size (VSS) schemes results in charts with more statistical power for detecting small to moderate shifts in the process mean vector. This paper presents an economic-statistical design of T2 control charts with variable sample size and control limits (VSSC). We build a cost model of a VSSC T2 control chart for the purpose of economic-statistical design using the model of Costa and Rahim (J. Appl. Stat. 28:875–885, 2001). This cost model constructed involves the cost of false alarms, the cost of finding and eliminating an assignable cause, the cost associated with production in an out-of-control state, and the cost of sampling and testing. We optimize this model using a genetic algorithm approach. Furthermore, VSSC and VSS T2 charts are compared with respect to the expected cost per unit time.

Dog with Oronasal Fistula Repair
An oronasal fistula is an opening between the oral and nasal cavities that most commonly results from the extraction of a diseased upper canine tooth. The canine teeth are the long sharp teeth found at the anterior corners of the mouth on either side of the front incisor teeth. In this image you can see that the dental probe demonstrates a deep pocket of infection around the base of this canine tooth. It needs to be extracted. In some dogs with infected canine teeth the infection is so bad that it destroys the bone at the base of the tooth and once the tooth is extracted it leaves a hole or fistula between the oral and nasal cavities (an oronasal fistula). To prevent infection this needs to be covered up with a gingival flap. (see dental case August 2008)
Sometimes the gingival flap does not 'take' properly leaving a small oronasal fistula even after healing is completed as is seen in this image. In this case a new flap is required. Why is this important? -so that food material does not get trapped in this opening that would lead to both a local gum infection and a nasal infection leading to a runny nose.
In image 1, Dr. Fisher is using a scalpel blade to freshen the edges around the fistula and to create a new flap. Next a Freer elevator is used to raise the flap away from underlying bone (image 2).
Next, the fistula space is filled with Consil®, a synthetic bone graft particulate that encourages new bone formation.
Consil application is followed by suturing of the gum (gingival) flap to the surrounding gum tissue in order to cover the fistula.
The finished product! All sutures have been placed and the oronasal fistula is covered. This flap of gum tissue adhered well this time and healing was complete, thus preventing a possible source of chronic infection in the mouth and nasal passage.

Most observers agree that human consumption is on a crash course with the environment. Although recycling programs have been implemented in many cities around the world, people do not participate as often as they could. In this university podcast, Canadian scholar Kate White shares research examining the effectiveness of messages that highlight the negative consequences of not recycling (loss frames) versus those that emphasize the positive consequences of recycling (gain frames) in influencing people's behavior. The report finds that the effectiveness of one type of messaging over another depends on whether interventions activate concrete thinking, which focuses on behaviors (such as how one might go about recycling), or abstract thinking (such as why one might go about recycling). White spoke at The Science of Getting People to Do Good briefing held at Stanford University.
Kate White is associate professor of marketing at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Her current teaching interests include principles of marketing, undergraduate buyer behavior, and MBA buyer behavior.

The results obtained in a previously reported study1 of the effect of irradiation of cod liver oil showed that the antirachitic value of the oil is not enhanced by irradiation with ultraviolet rays from a quartz mercury lamp. In the preliminary study, the irradiated cod liver oil was fed to experimental animals for a period of ten days in amounts not exceeding 3 mg. Since it was felt that the amount of irradiated oil fed, or the length of the experimental period, or both, may have been insufficient, a second study has been made in which 15 mg. of an irradiated cod liver oil was fed to the experimental animals for a period of six weeks. A comment on this study, together with the results obtained, forms the basis of the present communication.

Museum Brings Attention to Our Slave History
Members of the community deepened their knowledge about slavery when the George Museum commemorated Emancipation Day on Monday, 3 December 2012.
Slavery forms a part of our universal heritage. An education programme hosted by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport, Social Development and Correctional Services in George and others showcased the history of slavery in the knowledge that being able to move forward requires a clear understanding of the past.
Grade 7 learners from Thylolora, Kretzenhoop and Blanco Primary Schools in George gained valuable additions to their knowledge of this important part of the school curriculum. An ex-offender spoke about his experience in prison, and artists entertained the audience with poetry and music.
The Southern Cape has a deep connection with the history of slavery. The first Slave Anniversary Memorial was erected at Elim near Bredasdorp on 1 December 1938 to commemorate the centenary of the emancipation of slaves in the Cape Colony. Slaves were sold in front of the George Museum on a piece of land that has been renamed "Unity Park". Ms Thozama Ngcoko of the museum said the rich history of the area makes everyone proud to live in George.
The Department has decided that, from 2012, all affiliated museums in the province will commemorate Emancipation Day on 1 December every year. It is evident that the George Museum event heightened people's awareness of the important role of slavery in our shared history

'Sine Qua Non'
As a part of the International Flower and Garden Show, RMIT Bachelor of Design, Fashion students are proposed to construct a display using predominantly 80% plant materials. This year's theme was to address the topic of; "Monument to Water".
Being a part of the two classes of Third Year students which where involved in this competition, I was lucky enough along with 10 other students to be shortlisted, and actually make my proposed monument design.
Here are some photos of my design, final monument, and the design philosophies that drove the entirety of my developmental process.
"To Create a 'Monument to Water' one must first understand what a monument is, to then be able to dedicate one to water.
Through researching and questioning the concepts and meanings behind monuments in society, I have come to the conclusion that a monument is ultimately a symbol. They are abstracted dedications, which celebrate the colossal qualities of a person, place or event. These monuments in society never truly replicate the subject's physical form or proportion through materials or content. Yet, they clearly and symbolically celebrate the endearing characteristics of the subject.
So, if a person's qualities are abstracted when becoming a monument; an abstract subject, like water, should therefore be personified. And it's qualities equally celebrated though symbols.
Through analysis the qualities of water, such as being powerful, fierce, religious, scientific, life cycles, nurturing, and godly, these characteristics have been translated into layers of symbols. Which can be visually read, and be truly representative and celebratory to ALL the elements of water."
