Biodiesel is reliable as an alternative fuel for petroleum diesel. It is crucial and important to analyze biodiesel qualitatively and quantitatively at a high speed, which is a focus issue in the field of analytical chemistry as well. Most analysis of biodiesel can be done through improving and adjusting traditional gas chromatography (GC) method appropriately. The application of GC on biodiesel analysis is introduced. The methods of qualification and quantification of mono-alkyl esters, glycerol and glycerides, methanol, steroids, and the application of GC in transesterafication reaction monitoring, are reviewed and discussed. Also, the prospect of GC development is discussed. It will develop rapidly and become more accurate, more precise, more convenient and faster, the number of material species which can be analyzed at same time will increase as well. Furthermore, it will be increasingly widespread that GC can be used with other technologies together for analysis.

The solar day over the course of December. From bottom to top, the black lines are the previous solar midnight, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and the next solar midnight. The day, twilights (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and night are indicated by the color bands from yellow to gray.
Humidity
We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.
The chance that a given day will be muggy in Butler is essentially constant during December, remaining around 0% throughout.
For reference, on July 22, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 76% of the time, while on January 1, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

Wind
This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages.
The average hourly wind speed in Butler is essentially constant during December, remaining within 0.2 miles per hour of 10.4 miles per hour throughout.

We consider the problem of multiple lightweight devices monitoring unstructured data on the web. To do this effectively, we propose a 3-tiered architecture for a consolidated system that monitors changes in unstructured web data to cater to these clients (lightweight devices).
Typically, our clients work under constrained resources like memory, network bandwidth, processing power, etc.
This limits their ability to run applications that require timely and relevant web-data applications like news readers, offline/online search engines, directories, or general web-page monitoring tools.
The proposed system can deliver relevant and timely data to its clients by adapting to their profiles and usage statistics, which it uses to crawl and monitor the web effectively.
Existing literature covers numerical and textual updates in either the monitoring or the crawling context. However, there is little or no existing work on optimizing overall monitoring that includes both textual content as well as client side constraints. We formalize this overall optimization problem to some extent, and propose modules in each layer of our architecture that work together to minimize our objective.
This objective includes user satisfaction and resource costs. Our layered architecture includes modules to manage novelty detection, workload, monitoring and scheduling, client profiles, client usage statistics, data packaging and delivery, client connections, etc. We also propose ways to evaluate our architecture across a few variations in managing some of these modules like crawling, client connections, and delivered data size.

Sulfites
(Sulfitos)
Sulfites are food preservatives that can cause breathing difficulties in some people with asthma. They are considered an "asthma trigger" for people who are susceptible to them because they bring on asthma symptoms such as cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath. Sulfites are used as a preservative in many food products to prevent them from spoiling. Some examples of products that contain sulfites include: wine, beer, dried fruits and vegetables, shrimp, and pickles.

Data input (tutorial)
From visone user support
Normally, visone reads network data from GraphML files, which should never cause any problems. However, in some cases it is necessary to import data stemming from other sources that can, for instance, export adjacency matrices to comma-separated-value (CSV) tables. This tutorial guides you through the various possibilities to input data into visone.
The usual way: read GraphML
GraphML is the usual file format for visone; it encodes the three types of information that are contained in visone networks: network structure, attributes, and graphical information and it is the only format that does so. To read network data from GraphML files use the file menu, click on open..., select files of type.graphml, and click on the ok button.
The other file types are only needed when you want to import data from other sources that cannot output GraphML.
An overview about the other possibilities
Apart from GraphML, visone can read network data from files that are exported by other network analysis software, including UCINET, Pajek, Siena, and some more. Opening these files is also done via the file menu by selecting the appropriate file type. More information about reading these file types is provided in the section about other supported formats.
A more basic option that should be feasible in most situations is to read network data from comma-separated-value (CSV) files. CSV files are plain-text files, for example looking like this
;A;B;C;D A;0;1;1;1 B;1;0;1;0 C;1;1;0;0 D;1;0;0;0
that can be created by spread sheet editors (such as MS Excel), statistical software, most network analysis software, and many more. However, reading data from CSV files is more error-prone since these files do not come with an unequivocal definition about how to interpret them (rather you have to tell the program how these files should be interpreted). Most of this tutorial is dedicated to the import of CSV files.
If nothing else works, you can make use of the visone R console that allows access to the R environment for statistical computing or you can read data via the KNIME connection that connects visone to a comprehensive data mining workflow tool. Both environments, R and KNIME, provide very general and configurable methods for data input and, in addition, enable you to preprocess and/or filter the data with relatively low effort. We provide more information about these possibilities in the section "if nothing else works".
Yet another possibility to create networks directly in visone is to enter them manually (which is only appropriate if the neworks are small and the data is not yet available in electronic format). This option is illustrated in the tutorial introducing the visual network editor.
The variants of comma-separated-value (CSV) files
A comma-separated-value file can be thought of as a plain-text file that encodes a table, i.e., a data array that has rows and columns - sometimes also referred to as a matrix. In a network context, there are different possibilities to encode information about nodes, links, or attribute information in such tables. The first three (adjacency matrices, link lists, and adjacency lists) provide information about nodes and links and can be opend via the file menu and the import options dialog. The fourth table displays an attribute table, that provides information about node or link attributes. Those data files will be imported via the attribute manager. What follows is a short characterization of these file types. A more exhaustive explanation about how to import those data tables in visone is given in the following sections.
Adjacency matrix files. An adjacency matrix encodes for all pairs of nodes (indexing the rows and columns of the table) whether or not there is a link connecting these nodes. An example is shown in the following.
;A;B;C;D A;0;1;1;1 B;0;0;1;0 C;1;1;0;0 D;1;0;0;0
The first row and the first column are the labels of the nodes; the remaining part encodes whether there is a link from the node indexing the row to the node indexing the column. For instance, the character 1 in the row indexed by A and the column indexed by B indicates that there is a link going from A to B; the 0 in the row B and column A indicates that there is no link in the reverse direction.
Link list files. A link list contains as many rows as there are links in the network and (in its most basic form) a link list contains two columns where the entry in the first column is the identifier for the source node and the entry in the second column denotes the target node of the link. The following example
A;C C;B B;A A;D
defines four links: from node A to node C, from C to B, etc. Note that link lists use less space than adjacency matrices - especially if the network is very sparse (i.e., when the number of links divided by the number of node pairs is a small value close to zero).
Adjacency list files. An adjacency list has as many rows as there are nodes in the network. Each row may have a different length and the row associated with a node lists all neighbors of this node. For instance, in the following example
1;2;4;5 2;1;5 3;5 4;1 5;1;2;4
the adjacency list defines for node 1 three (outgoing) links: to node 2, node 4 and node 5. Node 2 has links to node 1 and node 5, etc.
Attribute tables. An attribute table has one row that lists the attribute names (in the example below this is id;age;smokes followed by as many rows as there are nodes in the network.
id;age;smokes A;23;false B;28;true C;19;true D;27;false
One of the columns (id in the example above) lists the unique node identifiers (it is not necessarily the first row and not necessarily labeled id). The other columns list the attribute values of the attribute whose name is given in the respective column header.
Note: visone does not allow to simultaneously input an adjacency matrix together with given attributes in one file. That is, a file like
;A;B;C;D;age;smokes A;0;1;1;1;23;false B;1;0;1;0;28;true C;1;1;0;0;19;true D;1;0;0;0;27;false
(having the interpretation that the first four columns specify an adjacency matrix and the last two columns define node attribute values) cannot be opened. Rather you have to split this into two separate files, one containing the adjacency matrix which can be opened via the file menu and the other containing the attribute table which can be opened via the attribute manager. (For instance, in MS Excel you could split the file by selecting columns, copy them, and past them into a new table.)
To create a network from one of the above mentioned data formats (adjacency matrix, link list, adjacency list) use the file menu, click on open..., select files of type CSV files (.txt,.csv) in the file chooser, navigate to the file you want to open, and click on the ok button. Then the import options dialog opens, where you select the appropriate data format in the topmost drop-down menu. Depending of the data format, the import options dialog shows you the various settings to be made, to interpret the data correctly. The image below shows the import options dialog, when selecting adjacency matrix as data format. The visualization and analysis tutorial explains the import of data from an adjacency matrix in detail, using an exemplary dataset. A description of importing all (other) data formats is given on the import options dialog page. Note that the import options dialog is designed to import information about nodes and links, not about attributes. The only exception is the import of node lists, where a network of isolated nodes and their attributes will be created.
To open an attribute table and add attribute values to the nodes or links of a network that is already opened in visone, use the attribute manager which can be started by clicking on the icon in visone's toolbar.
In the attribute manager, choose the node or link button in the top row, import & export on the left, operation import in the drop-down menu, and select the CSV file that contains the attributes you want to import.
Choosing a file opens a load options dialog (exemplary shown below), where it is very important to correctly set the values of the joining attributes in the topmost drop-down menus. The network attribute must point to the name of the attribute that identifies the nodes (or links) in the already opened network. The file attribute tells visone which column in the imported CSV file holds these identifiers. The file format options specifies the format of the selected file. In the visualization and analysis tutorial an exemplary illustration of the import of link attributes is given.
Other supported formats
If nothing else works: use the R console or KNIME connection
visone offers the R console with which network data can be sent from visone to R and back. This ability to load data from R - together with R's data input and data processing capabilities - opens nearly unlimited possibilities to import data from yet other sources, as well as to import data that has to be cleaned, filtered, or preprocessed before turning it into a network.

Magnesium is transported from old leaves to young leaves, unlike calcium. Especially since the nutritional element in fruits is provided by floemiole, the K and Mg contents of the fruits are higher than their Ca content. Magnesium is effective in protein synthesis.
magnesium deficiency in plants
As the severity increases, symptoms may resemble leaf edge blight related to potassium deficiency. More characteristic of it is that the terminal shoots fade the green color of the old leaves by gradually developing between the veins towards the base of the main leaf vein and giving a fishbone-like appearance. In pears, development of dark and purplish tissue islets surrounded by stripes showing chlorosis effect can be seen in the intervascular areas. As the growing season progresses, symptoms begin to appear on young leaves and older leaves fall off.
The presence of large amounts of magnesium is not specific, but often appears to be similar to a potassium or calcium deficiency.

Healthy Food Star
A. Read the following story on healthy foods and say three things
- What grew in Adam and Eve's first garden home?
- What did God make Adam do to get more food after he sinned?
- Can you name different kinds of foods that God grows in nature that we can eat?
When God first made this world, He placed Adam and Eve in a beautiful garden full of fruit trees. We call tree gardens, orchards. They also had vine fruits to eat. They arranged the vines to make their first home. Fruit, seeds, and nuts were their first foods.
After Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God told Adam he would have to grow a vegetable garden to get more food. Having to grow a vegetable garden would give Adam exercise and keep him outside in fresh air and sunshine.
Today, fruits, vegetables, seeds (including beans, legumes, and whole grains), and nuts are still good foods to eat to keep us healthy and give us energy to work and play. What is your favorite food that God has made?
B. Let's play a game called, What Am I Eating?
I want you to think of a healthy food you like to eat in your mind. Don't tell me what it is. Now pretend to eat. I am going to ask you questions about it to see if I can guess what it is. "What color is your healthy food?" "Is it crunchy or soft?" "Do you like to eat it for breakfast or dinner?" "Are you eating ___?" Then it will be my turn.
C. Do the activity on page 8 of your Little Lamb Activity Book. OR Draw and color a picture of your favorite healthy food.

Topic:
"Introduction to Light-Front Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory"
Abstract:
In 1949 P. A. M. Dirac introduced three representations for formulating relativistic quantum mechanics that are distinguished by having the largest interaction-independent subgroups of the Poincare group. The light front representation has the largest interaction-independent subgroup. It is especially useful treating electro-weak probes of strongly interacting systems. Among its many advantages are the triviality of the light front vacuum, the absence of Wigner rotations on boosts, and the irreduciblity of fields restricted to a light front. I discuss properties of both light front quantum mechanics and quantum field theory and highlight some of the differences with the familiar "instant'' representations.

Are there different kinds of design problems? According to Brown and Chandrasekaran (1989), Class 1 design problems are open-ended, non-routine creative activities where the goals are ill-structured, and there is no effective design plan specifying the sequence of actions to take in producing a design model. Class 2 problems use existing, well-developed design and decomposition plans (e.g. designing a new automobile). Class 3 designs are routine where design and decomposition plans are known as well as customary actions taken to deal with failures (e.g., writing a computer program). Jonassen (2011) argued that problems vary in terms of structuredness, complexity, and context. On the structuredness and complexity continua, design problems tend to be the most ill-structured and complex. Brown and Chandrasekaran suggest that design problems may vary along a continuum from well-structured to ill-structured, depending upon the context in which they are solved. In formal, school contexts, design problems are often more constrained, allowing many fewer degrees of freedom in their representations, processes, or solutions and are therefore more well-structured.

Do plants need salt?
Salt's Effect on Plants Salt is a very common substance in the soil as well in the sea.
Plants need a small amount of salinity to survive, since salt is one of the nutrients necessary for plants to grow, so the presence of some salt is necessary..
Is salt bad for soil?
In saline and saline-sodic soils, high concentrations of soluble salts reduce the amount of available water for plants to use. High levels of sodium can be toxic to certain plants. Also, the very high soil pH in high-salt soils greatly changes the nutrients available to the plants.
Is Fruit dead or alive?
The fruits and vegetables we buy in the grocery store are actually still alive, and it matters to them what time of day it is. … "Vegetables and fruits don't die the moment they are harvested," said lead researcher Dr. Janet Braam, Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Rice University in Houston, Texas.
What are 5 non-living things?
Some examples of important nonliving things in an ecosystem are sunlight, temperature, water, air, wind, rocks, and soil. Living things grow, change, produce waste, reproduce, and die. Some examples of living things are organisms such as plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria.
What are 10 living things?
10 Living things: human being, plants, bacteria, insects, animals, lichens, reptiles, mammals, trees, mosses. Non-Living things: chair, table, books, bed, newspaper, clothes, bed sheets, curtains, bag, pen.
Can humans eat non-living things?
We — along with all other animals — are not autotrophs, but heterotrophs. This means that we cannot produce organic compounds by ourselves but need to 'reuse' the ones that are produced by autotrophic organisms. That's why no human will ever be able to live without consuming other life.
Is salt the only non-living thing we eat?
The most common one is, of course, salt, aka halite, which provides us with sodium and chloride. Some humans who are unable to obtain enough calcium, potassium, iron, etc. from once-living food also eat other mineral substances such as various kinds of clay, ground-up seashells.
Is onion living or nonliving?
Onions are loaded with cells so onions must be a living thing.
What are 5 living things?
Living things are divided into five kingdoms: animal, plant, fungi, protist and monera. Living things are divided into five kingdoms: animal, plant, fungi, protist and monera.
Are dead leaves living things?
A leaf that has fallen off a tree is dead, which also means not alive. This must mean dead leaves are non-living things. People need water to live, so water must be a living thing too.
Is salt water living or nonliving?
High Biodiversity. Salt water ecosystems are the most diverse repository of living things on the planet. They support nearly half of all Earth's current known species, with possibly up to a million more still to be discovered.
Which things are nonliving?
Non-living things cannot move by themselves. They respire and exchange of gases takes place in their cells. Non-living things do not respire. Example: Humans, animals, plants, insects.
Does salt kill slugs?
Many people suggest controlling slugs with salt. But salt will kill them, rather than simply control them. … Making a direct slug kill using salt will draw out the water from a slug's moist body, resulting in death by dehydration.
Does Salt Kill Grass?
Because salt not only inhibits grass growth but also kills grass in high doses, you can destroy unwanted grass, such as grass sprouting in driveway crevices, by dosing it with salt. It absorbs moisture, preventing it from reaching the roots of all types of plants, including grass.
Is an apple dead or alive?
After apples are picked, they are still alive – they continue to carry out the chemical processes of a living plant, more or less, as they take in oxygen, create energy, and get closer and closer to ripeness.
Is everything we eat living?
Everything else is a heterotroph and must eat autotrophs for food. We can get nutrition from substances that were not once an organism themselves (milk and honey), but everything we eat comes from living organisms. everything we eat that you count as food is based on plant matter.
Is hair a living thing?
Even though the hair you can see isn't made of living cells, your hair is very much a living thing. Taking care of your hair properly can make all the difference in helping your hair strands last longer and look healthier.
Is water living or non-living?
Living things need food to grow, they move, respire, reproduce, excrete wastes from the body, respond to stimuli in the environment and have a definite life span. Water, sun, moon and stars do not show any of the above characteristics of living things. Hence, they are non-living things.
Is Sun a living thing?
For young students things are 'living' if they move or grow; for example, the sun, wind, clouds and lightning are considered living because they change and move. Others think plants and certain animals are non-living.
Why is a car not alive?
A car is not a living thing because it does not fulfill some key characteristics that define living things. All living things are composed of cells. … A car is not composed of cells. All living things grow and develop over time.
Are bananas living or nonliving?
Fruits and vegetables when they are in plants they grow and hence they are called as living things. But once plucked from the plants or trees, they do not grow and hence they become a non-living things.

Robert Shedinger
Robert Shedinger, associate professor of religion, will present a Luther College Religion Forum Lecture at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 16 in Room 102 of the Franklin W. Olin building on the Luther campus.
His lecture, titled "Radically Open: Transcending Religious Identity in an Age of Anxiety," is open to the public with no charge for admission.
Based on his book of the same title, Shedinger will discuss how modern American society serves to foster the anxiety epidemic and how it prohibits anxiety sufferers' access to the spiritual resources they desperately need. Shedinger's book argues that exclusive claims to religious identity help to foster the anxiety epidemic while submitting oneself to the greater wisdom of the cosmic story holds the key to resolving anxiety.
Talking from experience, he will discuss his personal journey through the darkness of anxiety with the help of the psychology of Carl Jung. Shedinger suggests that Islamic tradition may provide one of the best models for how to overcome the problem of anxiety and creating a more just and sustainable world.
Shedinger holds a master's degree from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary and a doctoral degree in religious studies from Temple University.
Since the publication of his book in 2009, "Was Jesus a Muslim? Questioning Categories in the Study of Religion," he has been a regular speaker in mosques and Islamic centers across the United States.

Comparing Integration Approaches
The table below summarizes the pros and cons of each approach to integration.
Federated Database
Platform Specific
Extract, Transform, Load
Handles Simple Mappings
Handles Complex Mappings
Complex mappings are master-detail mappings between systems where data elements don't naturally line up
Handles Simple Customs Mappings
Ability to handle mappings other than those that are pre-configured
Handles Complex Custom Mappings
Bi-Directional Sync Capability sometimes seldom
Fully Configurable
Can be modified to meet changing business requirements
Access Live Data usually
Single Database
Makes all data from all systems appear as though it is in single database
SQL Queries Across Non-Database Sources
Uses SQL For Mapping, Transformations, Sync
Uses Proprietary Language For Mapping, Transformations, Sync
Setup & Configuration Easy Very Easy Complex
Federated Integration
A Federated Database is the newest approach to solving long standing integration challenges. Essentially you have a single database (in the cloud) that has federated links to some or all of your other systems. The existing systems in this case can be on-prem applications with underlying databases (e.g. on-prem ERP) or newer cloud based SaaS offerings accessible only via APIs. federated drivers link their respective systems into your federated database. This makes it appear as though all of your data from all of your systems is in one big database. You can issue normal SQL queries to select data and read/write/update data across systems. API programming is eliminated. Synchronization between systems can be live. "Integration" becomes just like moving data around in a single database.
Federated Integration
Federated-based integrations have unlimited configurability, live access to the freshest data, and full support for bi-directional integration.
ETL Integration
Most integrations today still rely on some form of Extract, Transform, Load (ETL). Essentially the data is extracted from one system, transformed in some way, and loaded into another system. This if often performed nightly. There are two primary problems with this approach: synchronization and stale data. The largest challenge is synchronization. If the data is flowing only from system A to system B this is generally not an issue. However, if system B needs to change that data in some way and send those changes back to system A, things can quickly get complicated when you need to prevent one system from overwriting changes made by another system. Bi-directional sync is often avoided in ETL for this reason. The benefit of the ETL approach is that the data mappings are typically customizable and therefore can meet changing business requirements.
ETL-based integrations make you wait for your data and lack support for effective bi-directional integration.
Plugin-Based Integration
Although there are many types of plugins used for integration, plugins typically try to provide semi-live integration and therefore can sometimes overcome the bi-directional sync issues and data freshness issues that plague ETL-based integrations. However, plugin-based integrations typically have very limited configuration options and are often only viable for the simplest of integrations. Businesses looking for an enterprise-class solution generally need more flexibility than a plugin can provide.
Plugin-based integrations have limited configurability and seldom work for anything beyond simple use cases.

Felvidek: Caught in Between
Caught in Between, an animated documentary, dusts up longforgotten
stories of people from a Central European region, whose lives were
affected by the decisions of political leaders. After World War II, thousands of
people from this region were forced to leave their homes.
Memories come alive.
"Felvidek" is a multiethnic Slovak/Hungarian region in southern Slovakia. Far
too often the region has been trapped in between the opposing interests of
political elites; far too often its people have been tossed around by the twists
of history. In the 1940s, many of them were forced to leave their homeland.
Felvidek: Caught in Between unravels the history which continues to be a soft
spot for people whose fates were hit by the events after World War II.
Some wounds are hard to heal, some questions remain unanswered but the
future brings hope for reconciliation.
When memories are not enough, the stories come to live through animation.
The film combines oral history documentary, archive footage and animation.
The narrative deals with a sensitive theme: the forced resettlement of ethnic
Hungarians in postwar Czechoslovakia.

Transcript from the "Exercise 12: Creating the $ function" Lesson
[00:00:00]
>> [MUSIC]
[00:00:03]
>> Justin Meyer: So the first thing we're gonna do now is we're gonna start implementing the $ function, and the $ function we're gonna treat as a constructor function for now. So what we wanna be able to write is new $ and then we pass it CSS selector. It get all elements in the page that match that CSS selector and it's going to add those elements to the instance that was just created in such a way that that instance looks like an array like object.
[00:00:38] And there's a trick to making this happen, that I will kind of walk people through, will probably give like 15 minutes a little bit longer because I want people to finish this one on their own. And let me give a little context to it, so this hint, is the kinda fast sneaky way of, well let me describe this problem a little bit better.
[00:01:12] Okay, so let's say I had an array of items.
>> Justin Meyer: We've all seen on array of items and that could look like you know 1, 2. Let me not use those let me do foo, bar, zed. Okay, so that's that's an array of items. But like we've seen things can be already like that just means that they have a length and they have a properties that match that they have like a 0, 1, 2, and 3 properties.
[00:01:52] So I could have something that's array like that equals 0 is foo, 1 is bar, 2 is zed, and then it has a length property of 3. So when you use jQuery it's actually making an instance of something. But it has properties on it that make it array-like.
[00:02:25] Part of it's magic is that it acts like an array but it has all of these methods that arrays don't have on it and. Probably this next exercise and one more of the two trickiest exercises today, is how do you convert the instance in here which would be this.
[00:02:51] How do you make it given some elements maybe given some elements like this make it look like this. Now there's a trick to doing it which is on the slide which is down here which I'll come back to. But you can solve this anyway that you can kind of rationally do it and maybe the easiest way to understand it first is just simply going through the array and copying the properties to this so making sure that this has a 0 property, a 1 property, a 2 property, and a length.
[00:03:25] If you get from the selector three elements. So think of it this way the easiest way to solve that I think conceptually is given a selector use document query selector all to go get your elements, you get an array of elements back. Do a loop to go through each one of those elements and copy, add properties to this that are 0, 1, 2, as many elements as you have, and a length property.
[00:03:55] That's what you need to do to make your instances of $ behave just like jQuery will behave, any questions on that? I know it's confusing, but you'll see the answer and hopefully, it'll make sense. So we'll do-
>> Speaker 2: Right now, like your verbalization of what this should do.
[00:04:16] Just like comment it out for us, like you mentioned.
>> Justin Meyer: Do you want me to write it out.
>> Speaker 2: Right.
>> Justin Meyer: Sure I'll write it out. Get elements from the page using selector, d.qsa. [LAUGH] Then go through
>> Speaker 3: You should probably state that that's abbreviated.
>> Justin Meyer: It'll be the hint that I put up, but sure I can, or I'll-
[00:04:57]
>> Speaker 3: I just meant you should verbalize that.
>> Justin Meyer: Yeah.
>> Justin Meyer: Using document.querySelectorAll, and then once you have all your elements. Go through them and copy to this. I go through each element and copy to this as a numeric property.
>> Justin Meyer: And then also set length property.
>> Justin Meyer: To the number of elements in the array.
[00:05:54]
>> Justin Meyer: And what will be showing at the end of this with that hint is at the very bottom. A hint at the bottom is a way to essentially do these steps with very little code, but all explain that after I explain a longer way of doing it which is what you guys should try it first I think.
[00:06:19] Any other questions?
>> Justin Meyer: Any on this guy?
>> Justin Meyer: Okay, so never mind. So one question that some people might be talking about online is jQuery doesn't you don't the pass new before you JQuery right? So if you saw we're making something where you have to do.
>> Justin Meyer: Ready to go.
[00:07:08] We're making some the where you have to do new $. We're going to remove you having to do new it's just easier to get everything started by requiring people to call the new at first. Or, we'll make it work just like jQuery in a moment.
>> Justin Meyer: So, I think I'll leave this up, then.
[00:07:35] The verbalization. Yeah, cause you guys can see the tests if you need to. So, I'll leave this up.

Dahua Lin, John Fisher
Mixture distributions are often used to model complex data. In this paper, we develop a new method that jointly estimates mixture models over multiple data sets by exploiting the statistical dependencies between them. Specifically, we introduce a set of latent Dirichlet processes as sources of component models (atoms), and for each data set, we construct a nonparametric mixture model by combining sub-sampled versions of the latent DPs. Each mixture model may acquire atoms from different latent DPs, while each atom may be shared by multiple mixtures. This multi-to-multi association distinguishes the proposed method from prior constructions that rely on tree or chain structures, allowing mixture models to be coupled more flexibly. In addition, we derive a sampling algorithm that jointly infers the model parameters and present experiments on both document analysis and image modeling.


text: Leptosphaerulina leaf spot in lucerne is caused by the fungal pathogen Leptosphaerulina trifolii. This disease mainly affects younger leaves, but also attacks the petioles and older leaves. Symptoms on the leaves vary with environment, the physiological stage of the leaf and the age of the plant. Dark-brown to black lesions 1-3 mm in diameter with a well-defined yellow (chlorotic) ring around them appear on the leaves and petioles. The centre of the lesion is usually paler (tan-colored). In the case of severe infection the lesions enlarge and merge, the leaves become yellow and fall off. Infection in spring can cause dwarfing. Damp conditions favour the disease.

Setting up Algorithm Controls in Ranking Diagnostics
 1. Go to Search & Merchandising > Operational tools > Ranking diagnostics. In this example, we have Query Relaxation turned ON by default. The query "small fabulous table" currently shows 1463 results. We'll turn Query Relaxation OFF using Algorithm controls parameters.
1999
 1. To turn OFF Query Relaxation, click the Edit option next to the API Modifier tag.
1141
 1. Select the Custom tab and enter the required parameter. In this case, the parameter is query.relaxation=off.
 2. Click +Add and then Save the settings. The added parameter will appear next to the API Modifier tag.
Impact of Algorithm mode changes
After disabling Query Relaxation, the same query will now show null results.
1999
Note: We have discussed Query Relaxation OFF mode controls in this example. You can follow the same steps for adding parameters to the front-end API calls for the other 3 Algorithm controls.
API Controls FAQs
 1. Can all the algo controls be turned off?
 No, only Query Relaxation, Spell Correct, and SmartSort can be turned off. Refer to the table above for more details
 2. What happens when two different values of the same algo control feature are passed in one API call?
 The system will respect the order in which the parameters are sent in the API call and will pick the last one. Although, if the last value isn't correct or cannot be applied for that query, then the system will fall back to the previous value that is passed in the API.
 For example, in an API call, consider the first value for precision mode passed is query.precision=product_type_precision followed by query.precision=category_precision. In this case, the system will apply query.precision=category_precision given all the conditions for Category Precision are satisfied for that query. If the conditions are not satisfied, it will fall back to Product Type Precision
 3. What happens when invalid values are passed in the API parameters?
 Invalid values will throw a 400 error with the message "Incorrect value passed for X''. Here, X could be query.precision, facet.precision, query.spellcorrect, query.relaxation. For example:
824
 1. What takes priority over what is passed through API vs what is currently enabled for a customer?
 API takes precedence over backend configuration i.e. whatever is currently enabled for you. For example, if Category precision is currently enabled for you in the backend, it will continue to work as-is. However, if you want to test out Product type precision, you can pass that in the API call and then API (Product Type) will override the existing setting enabled in the backend(Category Precision).
 2. What happens when a parameter is passed for a catalog that doesn't support an Algorithm control or Algorithm control mode?
 It will disregard the parameter i.e. the API call will not fail, but the value that is passed will not get applied. For example, Product Type Precision is not applicable to the French catalog. So, if you send a parameter in the API call as query.precision=product_type_precision for this French catalog, it will not be applied.
 3. Would the dashboard automatically sync and show the same results if Algorithm control parameters are passed directly through the front-end API?
 No, controlling the setting of features directly from the front-end API call doesn't automatically synchronize with Bloomreach's dashboard. Hence, the results might look different in both places. To ensure consistency, you would need to pass the same parameter that you are controlling on the front-end API in the "API Modifier" section under Setup -> brSM global configurations -> API modifier

Preliminary investigation of the normal vibrations of white tin
Summers, Thomas W
Houston, William V.
Master of Arts
This paper has as its object the preliminary work required for a proposed investigation of the vibrational spectra. The main body of the paper is divided into three sections. The first is an outline of the theory of normal vibrations. The second is the application of the theory to tetragonal white tin. The third is a summary of results. In its most modern form, the theory is to be found in a paper of Born and Begbie, Applications of the theory to various solids are to be found in papers of Eellermann, Smith and Curien. Other papers of particular interest include those of Blackman, Montroll, Houston and Kroll. The series of papers by Blackman deserve special study since his work provided the first quantitative measure of the defect in the Debeye continuum theory. Houston's paper proposed a method of approximating the frequency distribution. The interesting work of Montroll and of Kroll treat the problem by taking the specific heat as a given function and solving an integral equation for the frequency distribution.

CredUIPromptForCredentialsA function (wincred.h)
The CredUIPromptForCredentials function creates and displays a configurable dialog box that accepts credentials information from a user.
Applications that target Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 should call CredUIPromptForWindowsCredentials instead of this function, for the following reasons:
- CredUIPromptForWindowsCredentials is consistent with the current Windows user interface.
- CredUIPromptForWindowsCredentials is more extensible, allowing integration of additional authentication mechanisms such as biometrics and smart cards.
- CredUIPromptForWindowsCredentials is compliant with the Common Criteria specification.
CREDUIAPI DWORD CredUIPromptForCredentialsA( [in, optional] PCREDUI_INFOA pUiInfo, [in] PCSTR pszTargetName, [in] PCtxtHandle pContext, [in, optional] DWORD dwAuthError, [in, out] PSTR pszUserName, [in] ULONG ulUserNameBufferSize, [in, out] PSTR pszPassword, [in] ULONG ulPasswordBufferSize, [in, out] BOOL *save, [in] DWORD dwFlags );
[in, optional] pUiInfo
A pointer to a CREDUI_INFO structure that contains information for customizing the appearance of the dialog box.
A pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the name of the target for the credentials, typically a server name. For Distributed File System (DFS) connections, this string is of the form ServerName\ShareName. This parameter is used to identify target information when storing and retrieving credentials.
This parameter is reserved for future use. It must be NULL.
[in, optional] dwAuthError
Specifies why the credential dialog box is needed. A caller can pass this Windows error parameter, returned by another authentication call, to allow the dialog box to accommodate certain errors. For example, if the password expired status code is passed, the dialog box could prompt the user to change the password on the account.
[in, out] pszUserName
A pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the user name for the credentials. If a nonzero-length string is passed, the UserName option of the dialog box is prefilled with the string. In the case of credentials other than UserName/Password, a marshaled format of the credential can be passed in. This string is created by calling CredMarshalCredential.
This function copies the user-supplied name to this buffer, copying a maximum of ulUserNameMaxChars characters. This format can be converted to UserName/Password format by using CredUIParseUsername. A marshaled format can be passed directly to a security support provider (SSP).
If the CREDUI_FLAGS_DO_NOT_PERSIST flag is not specified, the value returned in this parameter is of a form that should not be inspected, printed, or persisted other than passing it to CredUIParseUsername. The subsequent results of CredUIParseUsername can be passed only to a client-side authentication function such as WNetAddConnection or an SSP function.
If no domain or server is specified as part of this parameter, the value of the pszTargetName parameter is used as the domain to form a DomainName\UserName pair. On output, this parameter receives a string that contains that DomainName\UserName pair.
The maximum number of characters that can be copied to pszUserName including the terminating null character.
[in, out] pszPassword
A pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the password for the credentials. If a nonzero-length string is specified for pszPassword, the password option of the dialog box will be prefilled with the string.
This function copies the user-supplied password to this buffer, copying a maximum of ulPasswordMaxChars characters. If the CREDUI_FLAGS_DO_NOT_PERSIST flag is not specified, the value returned in this parameter is of a form that should not be inspected, printed, or persisted other than passing it to a client-side authentication function such as WNetAddConnection or an SSP function.
The maximum number of characters that can be copied to pszPassword including the terminating null character.
[in, out] save
A pointer to a BOOL that specifies the initial state of the Save check box and receives the state of the Save check box after the user has responded to the dialog box. If this value is not NULL and CredUIPromptForCredentials returns NO_ERROR, then pfSave returns the state of the Save check box when the user chose OK in the dialog box.
If the CREDUI_FLAGS_PERSIST flag is specified, the Save check box is not displayed, but is considered to be selected.
If the CREDUI_FLAGS_DO_NOT_PERSIST flag is specified and CREDUI_FLAGS_SHOW_SAVE_CHECK_BOX is not specified, the Save check box is not displayed, but is considered to be cleared.
An application that needs to use CredUI to prompt the user for credentials, but does not need the credential management services provided by the credential manager, can use pfSave to receive the state of the Save check box after the user closes the dialog box. To do this, the caller must specify CREDUI_FLAGS_DO_NOT_PERSIST and CREDUI_FLAGS_SHOW_SAVE_CHECK_BOX in dwFlags. When CREDUI_FLAGS_DO_NOT_PERSIST and CREDUI_FLAGS_SHOW_SAVE_CHECK_BOX are set, the application is responsible for examining *pfSave after the function returns, and if *pfSave is TRUE, then the application must take the appropriate action to save the user credentials within the resources of the application.
A DWORD value that specifies special behavior for this function. This value can be a bitwise-OR combination of zero or more of the following values.
||Specifies that a user interface will be shown even if the credentials can be returned from an existing credential in credential manager. This flag is permitted only if CREDUI_FLAGS_GENERIC_CREDENTIALS is also specified.|
||Populate the combo box with the prompt for a user name.|
||Do not store credentials or display check boxes. You can pass CREDUI_FLAGS_SHOW_SAVE_CHECK_BOX with this flag to display the Save check box only, and the result is returned in the pfSave output parameter.|
||Populate the combo box with user name/password only. Do not display certificates or smart cards in the combo box.|
||Specifies that the caller will call CredUIConfirmCredentials after checking to determine whether the returned credentials are actually valid. This mechanism ensures that credentials that are not valid are not saved to the credential manager. Specify this flag in all cases unless CREDUI_FLAGS_DO_NOT_PERSIST is specified.|
||Consider the credentials entered by the user to be generic credentials.|
||Notify the user of insufficient credentials by displaying the "Logon unsuccessful" balloon tip.|
||Do not allow the user to change the supplied user name.|
||Populate the combo box with the password only. Do not allow a user name to be entered.|
||Do not show the Save check box, but the credential is saved as though the box were shown and selected.|
||Populate the combo box with local administrators only.Windows XP Home Edition: This flag will filter out the well-known Administrator account.|
||Populate the combo box with certificates and smart cards only. Do not allow a user name to be entered.|
||Populate the combo box with certificates or smart cards only. Do not allow a user name to be entered.|
||This flag is meaningful only in locating a matching credential to prefill the dialog box, should authentication fail. When this flag is specified, wildcard credentials will not be matched. It has no effect when writing a credential. CredUI does not create credentials that contain wildcard characters. Any found were either created explicitly by the user or created programmatically, as happens when a RAS connection is made.|
||If the check box is selected, show the Save check box and return TRUE in the pfSave output parameter, otherwise, return FALSE. Check box uses the value in pfSave by default.|
||The credential is a "runas" credential. The TargetName parameter specifies the name of the command or program being run. It is used for prompting purposes only.|
||Check that the user name is valid.|
The return value is a DWORD and can be one of the following values.
||User chose Cancel. The pszUserName and pszPassword parameters have not changed.|
||This status is returned for any of the flag configurations that are not valid.|
Either pszTargetName is NULL, the empty string, or longer than CREDUI_MAX_DOMAIN_LENGTH, or pUiInfo is not NULL and the CredUI

Kirk employs null-gravity combat against Tchar
Kirk fights Tchar using his null-gravity combat training
Zero-gravity combat training or null-gravity combat exercises were a part of standard Starfleet Academy training.
James T. Kirk and Spock conducted null-gravity combat exercises together aboard the USS Enterprise a week prior to going on the Vedala expedition.
They later employed some of their null-gravity combat training during the expedition to combat Tchar, after he activated a gravity neutralizer in the Skorr temple, forcing those on the expedition to "fly and fight as a Skorr." (TAS: "The Jihad")
In 2373/2063, when the crew of the USS Enterprise-E found out that that the Borg that had infested the ship were outside on the hull building an interplexing beacon on the ship's deflector dish, Captain Jean-Luc Picard asked Lieutenant Commander Worf if he had remembered his zero-g combat training. Worf revealed it made him sick to his stomach. Despite this, Picard, Worf and Hawk went onto the hull to stop the Borg. (Star Trek: First Contact)

The "SUNLABTECH" Advanced designed equipment is freestanding and comprises two stainless Steel test pipes connected to a constant head tank with the Necessary connections to an Hydraulics Bench. Pipe surge demonstrations are conducted using the first test pipe, which incorporates a transparent surge shaft, and lever operated valve at the discharge end. An additional Valve downstream allows the flow through the test pipe to be varied before closing the lever operated valve. A scale on the surge shaft allows the low speed transients in water level to be measured.
Water hammer demonstrations are conducted using the second test pipe, which incorporates a fast acting valve at the discharge end. An additional valve downstream allows the flow through the test pipe to be varied before closing the fast acting valve. The unique fast acting valve, specifically designed by "SUNLABTECH" allows water hammer to be generated in a relatively short length of straight pipe because of the extremely short closure time achieved using a trigger actuator.
Tapping's incorporating electronic pressure sensors are located in the test pipe adjacent to the fast acting valve and half way along the test pipe. These sensors measure the high-speed pressure transients inside the pipe as the water hammer travels backwards and forwards along the test pipe. The time delay between the sensors can be used to determine the speed of sound through the water that is attenuated by the elasticity of the metal pipe wall.

Data Visualization Reveals Insights, Air travel is now a major part of the lives of most people irrespective of their financial and professional backgrounds. However, it is also an expensive means of transportation which saves our precious time. This means, choosing the right operator, airport, date etc. matters when it comes to getting the most value from air travel. A typical traveler rarely goes beyond choosing the date of travel on the basis of the flight-fare. However, there's more to a good air travel experience than that.
With our expertise in web data extraction, we decided to crawl flight data and dig out interesting Data Visualization Reveals Insights that might help our fellow travelers out there. The dataset contains flight data for London to New York City that was extracted from an airline price comparison site.
This data set was created on 16th February for flight prices on 5th March. The data points that we extracted for this visualization were:
- Departure time
- Arrival time
- Operator name
Flight time: Non-stop vs one-stop
As expected, non-stop flights had a significantly shorter duration than flights with one stop. Most non-stop flights had a duration ranging between 7 hours 48 minutes to 7 hours 54 minutes and the longest duration was more than 8 hours. Not a big difference there.
For flights with one stop, the most common duration was between 10 hours 12 minutes to 12 hours 37 minutes while the longest duration was more than 34 hours which is pretty long.
The average journey time combined for both one-stop and nonstop flight stands at close to 13 hours.
Flight duration by operators
American airlines and Finnair topped the list in the flights with shortest average duration which was around 7 hours. Ukraine international airlines had the longest average flight duration which was easily more than 25 hours.
Heathrow Airport is clearly the airport with the maximum number of outbound flights and it's also a popular fact. Second comes Gatwick Airport although it's far behind Heathrow in the number of flights.
Popular flight fares
The most popular flight fare in this route ranges between $1,807.83 and $2.152.34. There are close to 120 flights operating in this price range.
Airline company with the most number of flights
Iberia has the most number of flights and Air India has the fewest number of flights in this route. Delta Airlines and British Airlines are the close competitors to Iberia when it comes to the number of flights.
Cheapest and most expensive options
British Airlines and Iberia are not just the leaders when it comes to the number of flights, but are the costliest options too. If you are looking for the cheapest options, Lot Polish Airlines is the one to look for.
Cost vs Speed
The duration of the flight is one of the major value points of air travel. We compared the cost of flight with the duration of flight to find out the best value for money options. Air India came out as the winner as they clearly have the lowest-priced flights with the lowest flight duration. Brussels Airlines is the least desirable option in this regard since their flights are priced high despite having a relatively higher duration.
We found out that American airlines and Finnair are the best option for travelers looking for the shortest flight duration. Price-conscious travelers can go for Lot Polish Airlines as they offer the cheapest rates of all. If you're looking for a great deal with low price and short duration, Air India has your back.


text: Measurements of local density and magnetic field fluctuations near the pedestal top, conditionally-averaged over the ELM cycle, have been made in MAST. A Doppler backscattering (DBS) system installed at MAST was used to measure intermediate-k (k ? _i _ 3 - 4) density fluctuations at the top of the pedestal. A novel diagnostic technique combining DBS with cross- polarization scattering (CP-DBS) enabled magnetic field fluctuations to also be locally measured at similar wavenumbers. Polarization isolation and other effects for CP-DBS are discussed. Both measurements were used in a series of high-beta (_n _ 4.0 - 4.5) MAST plasmas with large type I ELMs, with a _ 8 - 9 ms period, where microtearing modes (MTM) had been predicted unsta- ble in similar conditions [Dickinson Phys. Rev. Lett 108, 135002 (2012)]. The measured density fluctuation level increased by a factor of about 4 between 2-4 ms after the ELM, which was corre-lated with the recovery of the density profile, while the temperature pedestal height continued to increase slowly. Magnetic field fluctuations showed different temporal behavior, slowly increasing throughout the ELM cycle as the local _ increased. Linear GS2 calculations show both MTM and electron temperature gradient (ETG) modes unstable at similar wavenumbers as the measurements (although with more overlap between ETG wavenumbers and diagnostic spectral resolution), at the top of the pedestal, along with kinetic ballooning modes unstable lower in the pedestal (at larger wavelengths). The inferred ratio of fluctuation levels from experiment was (_B/B)/(_n/n) _ 1/20. The comparable ratios from GS2 were (_B/B)/(_n/n) _ 0.4 for MTM and (_B/B)/(_n/n) _ 0.02 for ETG. Both the experimental wavenumber range and fluctuation ratio are more similar to the linear characteristics of ETG than MTM. These results imply that intermediate-k fluctuations due to ETG play a role in inter-ELM pedestal evolution.

Young Adults from 14 Caribbean Countries Gather Material for Environmental Book
ROSEAU, Dominica Young adults from 14 Caribbean countries recently finished gathering material for a book on the environment they hope will get more young people involved in protection efforts.
The book will highlight environmental issues facing the region and provide examples of how younger generations can influence government policies, said organizer Frederick Arnett.
"Our purpose is to bring about a change in the mentality and attitude about the environment" among young adults, Arnett said.
The material was gathered from 30 environmental activists, ages 18 to 25, over the past week in Roseau, Arnett said.
Funding to publish the book will come from the Barbados-based Caribbean Youth Environment Network and United National Environmental Program, though no publication date has been set.
The program plans to sell copies across the Caribbean.

Definition: (noun) the Islamic call to prayer
To hear what the adhan sounds like, please visit one of the audio links below.
Pronunciation: Athan where "th" is as in the English word "the"
Alternate Spellings: azan, athan
Examples:When the adhan was called, the Muslims went to the masjed for prayer.


class implementation at the beginning of your override.
If the function is called for printing, the default implementation examines the page information stored in the pInfo parameter. If the length of the document has not been specified, OnPrepareDC assumes the document to be one page long and stops the print loop after one page has been printed. The function stops the print loop by setting the m_bContinuePrinting member of the structure to FALSE.
Override OnPrepareDC for any of the following reasons:
 - To adjust attributes of the device context as needed for the specified page. For example, if you need to set the mapping mode or other characteristics of the device context, do so in this function.
 - To perform print-time pagination. Normally you specify the length of the document when printing begins, using the OnPreparePrinting member function. However, if you don't know in advance how long the document is (for example, when printing an undetermined number of records from a database), override OnPrepareDC to test for the end of the document while it is being printed. When there is no more of the document to be printed, set the m_bContinuePrinting member of the CPrintInfo structure to FALSE.
 - To send escape codes to the printer on a page-by-page basis. To send escape codes from OnPrepareDC, call the Escape member function of the pDC parameter.
Call the base class version of OnPrepareDC at the beginning of your override.
Example
void CMyView::OnPrepareDC (CDC* pDC, CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
 CView::OnPrepareDC(pDC, pInfo);
 // If we are printing, set the mapmode and the window
 // extent properly, then set viewport extent. Use the
 // SetViewportOrg member function in the CDC class to
 // move the viewport origin to the center of the view.

 if(pDC->IsPrinting()) // Is the DC a printer DC.
 {
 CRect rect;
 GetClientRect (&rect);
 pDC->SetMapMode(MM_ISOTROPIC);
 CSize ptOldWinExt = pDC->SetWindowExt(1000, 1000);
 ASSERT(ptOldWinExt.cx != 0 && ptOldWinExt.cy != 0);
 CSize ptOldViewportExt = pDC->SetViewportExt(rect.Width(), -rect.Height());
 ASSERT(ptOldViewportExt.cx != 0 && ptOldViewportExt.cy != 0);
 CPoint ptOldOrigin = pDC->SetViewportOrg(rect.Width()/2, rect.Height()/2);
 }
}
Called by the framework before a document is printed or previewed.
virtual BOOL OnPreparePrinting(CPrintInfo* pInfo);
Parameters
pInfo
Points to a CPrintInfo structure that describes the current print job.
Return Value
Nonzero to begin printing; 0 if the print job has been canceled.
Remarks
The default implementation does nothing.
You must override this function to enable printing and print preview. Call the DoPreparePrinting member function, passing it the pInfo parameter, and then return its return value; DoPreparePrinting displays the Print dialog box and creates a printer device context. If you want to initialize the Print dialog box with values other than the defaults, assign values to the members of pInfo. For example, if you know the length of the document, pass the value to the SetMaxPage member function of pInfo before calling DoPreparePrinting. This value is displayed in the To: box in the Range portion of the Print dialog box.
DoPreparePrinting does not display the Print dialog box for a preview job. If you want to bypass the Print dialog box for a print job, check that the m_bPreview member of pInfo is FALSE and then set it to TRUE before passing it to DoPreparePrinting; reset it to FALSE afterwards.
If you need to perform initializations that require access to the CDC object representing the printer device context (for example, if you need to know the page size before specifying the length of the document), override the OnBeginPrinting member function.
If you want to set the value of the m_nNumPreviewPages or m_strPageDesc members of the pInfo parameter, do so after calling DoPreparePrinting. The DoPreparePrinting member function sets m_nNumPreviewPages to the value found in the application's .INI file and sets m_strPageDesc to its default value.
Example
Override OnPreparePrinting and call DoPreparePrinting from the override so that the framework will display a Print dialog box and create a printer DC for you.
BOOL CMyEditView::OnPreparePrinting(CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
 return CEditView::DoPreparePrinting(pInfo);
}
If you know how many pages the document contains, set the maximum page in OnPreparePrinting before calling DoPreparePrinting. The framework will display the maximum page number in the "to" box of the Print dialog box.
BOOL CExampleView::OnPreparePrinting(CPrintInfo* pInfo)
{
 //The document has 2 pages.
 pInfo->SetMaxPage(2);
 return CView::DoPreparePrinting(pInfo);
}
Called by the framework to print or preview a page of the document.
virtual void OnPrint(
 CDC* pDC,
 CPrintInfo* pInfo);
Parameters
pDC
Points to the printer device context.
pInfo
Points to a CPrintInfo structure that describes the current print job.
Remarks
For each page being printed, the framework calls this function immediately after calling the OnPrepareDC member function. The page being printed is specified by the m_nCurPage member of the CPrintInfo structure that pInfo points to. The default implementation calls the OnDraw member function and passes it the printer device context.
Override this function for any of the following reasons:
 - To allow printing of multipage documents. Render only the portion of the document that corresponds to the page currently being printed. If you're using OnDraw to perform the rendering, you can adjust the viewport origin so that only the appropriate portion of the document is printed.
 - To make the printed image look different from the screen image (that is, if your application is not WYSIWYG). Instead of passing the printer device context to OnDraw, use the device context to render an image using attributes not shown on the screen.
 If you need GDI resources for printing that you don't use for screen display, select them into the device context before drawing and deselect them afterwards. These GDI resources should be allocated in OnBeginPrinting and released in OnEndPrinting.
 - To implement headers or footers. You can still use OnDraw to do the rendering by restricting the area that it can print on.
Note that the m_rectDraw member of the pInfo parameter describes the printable area of the page in logical units.
Do not call OnPrepareDC in your override of OnPrint; the framework calls OnPrepareDC automatically before calling OnPrint.
Example
The following is a skeleton for an overridden OnPrint function:
void CMyView::OnPrint(CDC *pDC, CPrintInfo *pInfo)
{
 UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(pInfo);
 // Print headers and/or footers, if desired.
 // Find portion of document corresponding to pInfo->m_nCurPage.
 OnDraw(pDC);
}
For another example, see CRichEditView::PrintInsideRect.
Called by the framework to determine whether scrolling is possible.
virtual BOOL OnScroll(
 UINT nScrollCode,
 UINT nPos,
 BOOL bDoScroll = TRUE);
Parameters
nScrollCode
A scroll-bar code that indicates the user's scrolling request. This parameter is composed of two parts: a low-order byte, which determines the type of scrolling occurring horizontally, and a high-order byte, which determines the type of scrolling occurring vertically:
 - SB_BOTTOM Scrolls to bottom.
 - SB_LINEDOWN Scrolls one line down.
 - SB_LINEUP Scrolls one line up.
 - SB_PAGEDOWN Scrolls one page down.
 - SB_PAGEUP Scrolls one page up.
 - SB_THUMBTRACK Drags scroll box to specified position. The current position is specified in nPos.
 - SB_TOP Scrolls to top.
nPos
Contains the current scroll-box position if the scroll-bar code is SB_THUMBTRACK; otherwise it is not used. Depending on the initial scroll range, nPos may be negative and should be cast to an int if necessary.
bDoScroll
Determines whether you should actually do the specified scrolling action. If TRUE, then scrolling should take place; if FALSE, then scrolling should

The rare prolonged snowstorms and low temperatures that have caused havoc in many parts of China are mainly related to La Nina and abnormal atmospheric circulation, Chinese meteorologists said.
The unbalanced precipitation in China this winter greatly resembles the aftermath of La Nina event in history, which indicates that the latest development of La Nina is a main cause of China's abnormal snowy weather, meteorologists with Jiangxi Provincial Meteorological Bureau said.
The experts predicted that the La Nina event, which formed in August last year, will continue to the end of the spring season.
They also pointed out that the abnormal atmospheric circulation in some regions of Europe and Asia, which has lasted for nearly 20 days since mid-January, is responsible for the rampant chilly weather, rain and snowstorms.

Clementine Tree Care and Propagation Tips
by Max - last update on
Clementine Tree
You may have already seen or eaten those mini oranges that taste super sweet and have the thinnest peel. But have you ever wondered what they are? These citrus fruits are called clementines and can easily be grown in your own garden. Clementine trees are ideal for beginner gardeners who want to grow citrus trees as houseplants. This is because clementines are hardier than their relatives and caring for them isn't as difficult as you may think.
In this post, we'll delve into all the important care requirements for a clementine tree so you can grow these citrus fruits in your own garden.

Quick Facts about Clementine Tree
 - Clementine trees are the hybrids of sweet orange and mandarin trees. Although they are closely related to mandarins and tangerines, clementines taste sweeter and are seedless.
 - Clementines are also known as Christmas Oranges because their ripening season is from November to February.
 - The skin of clementines is very easy to peel. The size of this citrus fruit is 4-6cm and the color is light orange. The rind of these tiny oranges is edible and fragrant. It is often added to cake toppings.
 - The trees of clementine are just as attractive as the fruit itself, with slender green leaves that stand out against the orange fruit.
 - In the spring, the white, fragrant blossoms of the tree transform into baby clementines (around 3 inches in size). However, the fruit won't fully ripen until 7-10 months later.
Clementine Tree Care Guide
Light and Temperature
Clementine trees require full sun to grow the best fruit. If growing indoors, place the pot in the brightest location or supplement the tree with a grow light. Clementine trees can tolerate partial shade, but they won't produce fruit without full sun.
This citrus tree can handle temperatures as low as 20 degrees fahrenheit. Having said that, long exposure to frost can cause damage to the tree's roots as these trees are accustomed to Mediterranean climate.
Temperatures above 50 degrees F are ideal for producing the best clementines. In extreme heat conditions, protect the tree from sunburn by misting it regularly.
Watering and Humidity
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. To do this, water the top inch of the soil and wait until it dries out before watering again. As a rule of thumb, water the tree once a week. If you have just planted the clementine tree outdoors or in a pot, water it up to 3 times a year during its first year.
Clementine trees don't tolerate soggy soil so keep an eye out on the pot's drainage and empty the excess water from the container's tray often.
Clementine trees are grown in Mediterranean and tropical climates so they can tolerate high humidity. If growing indoors, keep them away from radiators and other heating sources as they can dry out the plant. Use a humidifier or fill the tray with pebbles and water to create humidity around the citrus plant.
Clementine Tree Soil
When grown outdoors, your clementine tree needs slightly acidic, sandy soil to thrive. The soil must be well-draining without any puddling. And if the soil needs improvement, mix in some perlite.
The best way to determine the soil's nutrient deficiencies is by using a home-testing kit. This way, you'll find out whether the soil's acidity is balanced or not. Commercial soil acidifiers will bring your soil's pH levels back to normal.
While neutral soils are also suitable for growing clementine trees, the fruit will often taste sweeter than if it were grown in a slightly acidic soil.
If grown indoors, use a specially formulated citrus soil that's well-draining and loamy.
Feed your clementine tree every other month throughout the year. These citrus trees don't go dormant during the cold season so you will need to fertilize them at least 3 times in spring and again in fall. Apply a slow-release fertilizer that's specifically designed for citrus fruits.
Propagate Clementine Tree
You may be wondering how to grow a clementine plant from seed if the fruit is seedless? The good news is, clementines can be propagated by grafting. The process involves taking an existing tree's bud and grafting it onto a rootstock.
Follow these steps to successfully propagate a clementine tree:
Step 1. Begin by using a sterilized shear to cut through the rootstock's bark in the shape of an upside down T. Take care so as not to cut in a crooked angle. It should be in a straight part of the trunk, around 4-6 inches from the base. Next, make an additional cut in a vertical shape and a horizontal cut about 1 inch in length. The idea is to cut through the tree's bark without going further into the wood's surface.
Step 2. Now cut a green stem from the tree you want to propagate measuring about 1 diameter.
Step 3. Slice the bud from the clementine stem using a sterilized budding knife. Make sure the cut is straight and from the back of the bark. The knife's blade should be placed flat against the stem so you can take a thin slice of the bark from the above and below the bud.
Step 4. Now slice up the bud in a T shape cut. Place the tip of the bud in the up position just like it was on the original tree. The sliced bud should rest inside the bark on the rootstock with its tip pointing out.
Step 5. Wrap the grafted area with budding tape starting from below the incision. Continue wrapping the area around the trunk to cover the entire incision. This helps keep the bud firmly in place.
Step 6. After two weeks, remove the budding tape. If the bud is still green, your graft has been successful.
Step 7. To encourage the bud to grow, bend the top of the rootstock and tie it to the base of its trunk. If it doesn't bend, cut halfway through the stem several inches above the graft. The new bud will be stimulated to grow on the rootstock while further buds will also begin to sprout.
Step 8. When planting your propagated rootstock in the ground or in a pot, insert a wooden stick loosely in the soil adjacent to the trunk and tie the bud to the stick as it grows. The wooden stick should be about 2 feet taller above the soil.
Step 9. After the new, grafted trunk has grown to the same height as the wooden stick, cut the rootstock's trunk just above the grafted bud to ensure optimal growth. Within 2-3 years, your propagated plant will mature into a full-size clementine tree that produces fruit.
By following the above propagation tips, and with some patience, you will soon reap into the rewards of your hard work with tasty, sweet clementines!
Planting in the Ground
Dig a hole in the sunniest part of your garden. Make sure the depth is 20-40% more than the current root ball of your tree. Add some organic matter in the hole, including dried leaves and hummus before mixing it with garden soil. Loosely place the tree inside the hole and cover it with more soil. Add a layer of mulch around the tree to keep the soil moist and make sure you water it deeply for the next two weeks.
Tip: if the newly planted clementine tree isn't very stable, it may eventually fall. Add support using a stick or bamboo so that the tree can grow upwards.
Pruning a citrus tree is just as important as a regular haircut in order to keep it healthy and in shape. You can prune your tree any time of the year, but it is generally recommended to trim the overgrown branches during the end of winter or early spring.
You will need a clean shear to prune your tree. Look for overgrown branches that are obstructing walkways, dying twigs or any crossing ones in the center of the tree.
When pruning, don't cut any more than one third of the plant at any one time. Additionally, don't remove any flowering or fruiting branches. Otherwise your tree won't produce fruit the following year.
Harvest Clementines
Clementine trees produce white blossoms in the spring before their fruit starts growing. The clementines will ripen towards mid-November when the skin turns orange. If you notice the skin or the stem is still green, wait a little longer before harvesting.
Growing Problems
Yellow leaves: this is a common yet solvable problem that is usually caused by lack of sunlight. To solve, move the tree's location and thin out the yellowing leaves so the sun can reach the canopy.
Cold temperatures: when clementine trees are exposed to cold temperatures for long periods, they may not produce fruit. This can be prevented by moving them indoors and placing the potted plant in a sunny location.
Leaf drop: overwatering can lead to leaf drop. Check the soil to see if it's draining water adequately and reduce your watering schedule to once per week only.

Holocaust Memorial Conference
The University of Exeter's Holocaust Memorial Conference 2019 brought together 200 students from schools and sixth forms from across the South West alongside over 100 University students and alumni to learn about the Holocaust, its surrounding issues and contemporary relevance.
At the Conference, students heard from Mala Tribich MBE, a survivor of the Holocaust with a deeply moving and powerful testimony. After listening to her testimony they took part in seminar discussions led by academics from the University and external expert guest speakers from across the country. At the end, many wrote pledges of how they would share what they learned with others and work in their communities to mark Holocaust Memorial Day and challenge antisemitism and hatred in the world today. Together with Mala's testimony, the conference gave students a deeper and more personal understanding of the Holocaust. As one attendee wrote in their reflections:
"I found the experience so powerful and moving: there is only so much at school in class you can learn and begin to understand but hearing even the part of Mala's story that we could really showed the harsh reality of the Holocaust and how it affected so many people'.
The conference could not have gone ahead without support from the Alumni Annual Fund. Donations were used to produce conference materials, including a banner and programmes for each student and to fund travel and accommodation for conference speakers. Barnabas Balint, one of the conference organisers, described the importance of such an event:
"This conference brought together academics, researchers, and students from across disciplines and backgrounds for a common cause: to learn from genocide, for a better future."
