The context: a warning to a user of a website that tells the user that patterns in an image should be avoided.
One of the key characteristics of a pattern is that it is repetitive. There is no such thing as a "non-repetitive pattern". This makes it a pleonasm. Am I right about this?
At the same time, I feel "repetitive pattern" sends a clearer message to the user than just "pattern", because it is a pleonasm. I was taught that I should avoid pleonasms. Is this a justified case to use a pleonasm?

It's a pleonasm, but pleonasms aren't all bad. They range from the irritatingly redundant (though different people will disagree on what is and isn't irritating) through to some that are useful in giving information to some readers/listeners who don't understand the precise meaning of the noun, and there is much room in between.
While all patterns are repetitive, some are more gratingly repetitive than others, so it may be worth using the redundant adjective.
If you do find it reads badly to you, you could also use it in a form like "Avoid patterns, because repetition of elements can...".
Here you avoid the pleonasm and the possibility that some readers may dislike the redundancy, while still underscoring what you mean by pattern.

A pattern is not necessarily repetitive, even though it may be repeated. A pattern, don't forget, is also a model for others to follow, and in other cases simply an arrangement of things. Each fingerprint is a pattern of lines and whorls, for example, yet each of those patterns is purported to be unique.
If I make a pattern for others to follow, such as a design pattern in a computer language, it is not really repetitive in and of itself. The act of repeating the pattern causes it to be repetitive, so the term "repetitive pattern" only applies in the act of repetition, not creation.

...although even a non-repeating pattern may still be repetitive [internally], say a "Loop unroll by Copy-Paste" "design pattern". – SF. Jan 17 '13 at 13:10

text: Fractal image compression is a relatively recent technique based on the representation of an image by a contractive transform, on the space of images, for which the fixed point is close to the original image. This broad principle encompasses a very wide variety of coding schemes, many of which have been explored in the rapidly growing body of published research. While certain theoretical aspects of this representation are well established, relatively little attention has been given to the construction of a coherent underlying image model which would justify its use. Most purely fractal-based schemes are not competitive with the current state of the art, but hybrid schemes incorporating fractal compression and alternative techniques have achieved considerably greater success. This review represents a survey of the most significant advances, both practical and theoretical, since the publication in 1990 of Jacquin's original fractal coding scheme.

👏 You can access ncp package with using ncp variable in browser devtools!
Asynchronous recursive file copy utility.
code/package/bundle size
bundle minified
bundle gzipped
ncp - Asynchronous recursive file & directory copying
Build Status
Think cp -r, but pure node, and asynchronous. ncp can be used both as a CLI tool and programmatically.
Command Line usage
Usage is simple: ncp [source] [dest] [--limit=concurrency limit] [--filter=filter] --stopOnErr
The 'filter' is a Regular Expression - matched files will be copied.
The 'concurrency limit' is an integer that represents how many pending file system requests ncp has at a time.
'stoponerr' is a boolean flag that will tell ncp to stop immediately if any errors arise, rather than attempting to continue while logging errors. The default behavior is to complete as many copies as possible, logging errors along the way.
If there are no errors, ncp will output done. when complete. If there are errors, the error messages will be logged to stdout and to./ncp-debug.log, and the copy operation will attempt to continue.
Programmatic usage
Programmatic usage of ncp is just as simple. The only argument to the completion callback is a possible error.
var ncp = require('ncp').ncp;
ncp.limit = 16;
ncp(source, destination, function (err) {
 if (err) {
 return console.error(err);
You can also call ncp like ncp(source, destination, options, callback). options should be a dictionary. Currently, such options are available:
 - options.filter - a RegExp instance, against which each file name is
tested to determine whether to copy it or not, or a function taking single parameter: copied file name, returning true or false, determining whether to copy file or not.
 - options.transform - a function: function (read, write) { read.pipe(write) }
used to apply streaming transforms while copying.
 - options.clobber - boolean=true. if set to false, ncp will not overwrite
destination files that already exist.
 - options.dereference - boolean=false. If set to true, ncp will follow symbolic
links. For example, a symlink in the source tree pointing to a regular file will become a regular file in the destination tree. Broken symlinks will result in errors.
 - options.stopOnErr - boolean=false. If set to true, ncp will behave like cp -r,
and stop on the first error it encounters. By default, ncp continues copying, logging all errors and returning an array.
 - options.errs - stream. If options.stopOnErr is false, a stream can be provided, and errors will be written to this stream.

Features: Travis Scott, 21 Savage
"Niagara Falls (Foot or 2)" by Metro Boomin featuring Travis Scott and 21 Savage, stands as a gripping narrative that weaves personal struggles, triumphs, and the complex dynamics of street life with raw emotion and vivid imagery. The song delves into themes of resilience, the quest for space—both metaphorically and physically—in a world that constantly encroaches on personal freedom and identity, and the balance between vulnerability and strength in the face of adversity.
The opening lines immediately set the tone, with 21 Savage reflecting on the tumultuous journey around the law and witnessing more than one should. The metaphor "Tatted teardrops, call Niagara Falls" embodies the pain and loss experienced, where the teardrop tattoo represents a symbol of grief in street culture, and the magnitude of this sorrow is compared to the overflowing Niagara Falls. This imagery is powerful, setting a backdrop of resilience amidst a history of hardship.
The chorus underscores the constant vigilance and the need for space ("I might need a extra foot or two") as a metaphor for personal freedom and protection. This notion of needing "a extra foot or" highlights the desire to maintain distance from those who may encroach upon one's peace or personal growth. The repetitive mention of this line emphasizes how essential this space is for the artists' survival and sanity.
Through the verses, the narrative further unfolds the complexities of their environment and relationships. The references to "ratchet bitches wanted Frenchy's, not Philippe" and buying "my college vibe a brand new Birkin" reflect the intersection of love, lifestyle, and the expectations within their circles. The song cleverly uses brands and scenarios to depict a picture of navigating relationships amidst fame and fortune. The mention of "Take a shower in the Maybach, it got curtains" and "Saint Laurent Don fresher than detergent" not only flaunts their success but also subtly touches on the isolation and the barriers erected to protect oneself from external influences.
The closing lines, "Villains don't perceive themselves as wrong / And all heroes do not wear capes", philosophically broaden the song's narrative. This reflection on the perception of good vs. evil, heroes vs. villains, in their lives and in the broader context of societal judgment, encapsulates the depth of the song. It speaks to the idea that everyone's journey has shades of gray, and the beginnings of both heroes and villains are more similar than we might think, challenging the listener to look beyond the surface.
Overall, "Niagara Falls (Foot or 2)" is a textured, introspective piece that uses intricate visuals and metaphors to discuss deeper themes of pain, resilience, and the continuous battle for autonomy and space in a world that relentlessly tries to close in. Metro Boomin, Travis Scott, and 21 Savage masterfully intertwine their personal experiences with broader existential questions, making this track a profound commentary on life's complexities.

NTFS format
The Windows operating system is very different from what Apple offers us with Mac OS, in the same way the file system present in both OS is very different. In the case of Windows we have the file system NTFS.
The NTFS format is a lot efficient, being the most popular used within Windows. Unfortunately, its implementation is not fully exploited in Mac OS, before it could not be formatted in that system, but today there are some tricks for this purpose.
How to format NTFS on a Windows hard drive or USB stick from Mac OS
APFS format
From Apple, we have the system APFS, this format is present in computers with Mac OS operating system. It is the latest file system developed by the Apple company, which replaces the HFS + format.
To date, it is the default format in Apple computers, has shown great improvements, and is particularly useful with solid state drives (SSD) and removable drives.
How to format NTFS on a Windows hard drive or USB stick from Mac OS
Originally the operating system Mac it didn't have the ability to format in NTFS, although there are several methods we can do this with. In this case we will use Tuxera NTFS, a very useful application for formatting correctly in NTFS.
 1. The first step is download the tool, you can get it via this Tuxera NTFS link. Please note that the full version of this program is paid, the price is affordable.

Stability analysis of a Vlasov-Wave system
S. De Bièvre and his co-authors introduced and studied a kinetic equation of the Vlasov-Wave type, which arises in the description of the behavior of a large number of particles interacting weakly with an environment, composed of an infinite collection of local vibrational degrees of freedom, modeled by wave equations. They use variational techniques to establish the existence of large families of stationary states for this system, and analyze their stability [8].


Maphilindo Silat
The Maphilindo Silat system was created by Guru Dan Inosanto in honor of his instructors and is a blend of various systems. The name comes from Malasia, Philippines, and Indonesia which are the countries of origin for this system of deadly combat.
Effective and Deadly system from Southeast Asia
There are many systems of Silat with are various stories of origin, A popular origin is told from Guru Inosanto about how Alexander The Great. Silek was the ancestral art form and then was spread throughout the region by the military of that time.
Silat has been featured in popular movies such as The Raid Redemption and The Accountant. With beautiful movement there is disguised deadly techniques that can be highly effective when trained properly..
Maphilindo Silat can greatly enhance any martial arts system. If one were to utilize silat's geometric lines of attack and apply its principles in combat, it would be a great additional to any art and its effectiveness

text: The purpose of the present work is to compare the nature, the role and the structure of the bodies responsible for tax litigation in Italy and in the United States: the "Commissioni Tributarie" and the "U.S. Tax Court" (par. 1). The essay starts from a terminological clarification related to the notion of "tax justice" (par. 2) and then describes the comparative aspects of this phenomenon, adopting a classification that divides all modern Countries into three "models" of resolution of tax disputes: the "monistic" one, the "dualistic" one and, finally, the "mixed" system, that combines features of both the previous models (par. 3). Relying on an historical and constitutional approach, the paper then investigates the evolution of both the "U.S. Tax Court" (par. 4) and the "Commissioni Tributarie" (par. 5) from executive agencies into real Courts, in order to highlight – in a comparative perspective – similarities and differences between the Italian tax litigation system and the U.S. one, having regard to the crucial issues of constitutional legitimacy, separation-of-powers principles and compliance with the guarantees of "due process" (par. 6).


How does the Results API work? | Questionmark
How does the Results API work?
Applies to the following products:
Questionmark OnDemand
Questionmark Perception
Applies to the following Perception versions:
Perception 5.7
The Results API OData feeds are designed to return specific datum and granular subsets of data. When querying multiple data in a feed, querying multiple feeds simultaneously, or querying against the content in a variable that is not a key field for the feed, the Results API may timeout. Users are encouraged to design queries to use specific key values.
To introduce you to our Results API if you are unfamiliar with OData services, let's start off with an example—accessing the Participants feed and retrieving a list of participants.
Perception users would enter the following HTTP request in a browser:
https:///analyticsodata//odata/Participants
...where is the fully-qualified name (including the domain name) of the server where Perception is installed and is the name of the specific Perception repository are you trying to access the result data for.
OnDemand user would enter the following HTTP request in a browser:/odata/Participants
...where is the customer ID of the OnDemand account you want to access the result data for.
This example is for an OnDemand user, but a Perception user would follow the exact same steps using the Perception-specific URL format shown above. After authenticating (see the How can I access the Results API? section for details), this will retrieve a list of all the participants who have created results that have been ETLed into your Results Warehouse at the time you are accessing the Results API. If you have more than 500 participants in your Results Warehouse, at the bottom of the page you will see a link that looks similar to the following:
If you wanted to view participants 501 and on, you would enter the address from the href= part of the above entry to navigate to the second page of participants.
A list of participants from the Participants feed includes entries for each participant in the list. Here is an example entry for a single participant:
incandenza_h
href="Participants(804)/TopicScores" />
804

Each participant entry includes an ID, which is a URL that allows you to return to this particular entry at any time without having to retrieve the entire list of participants, which can be quite lengthy. The above example's ID, as you can see from the tag, is:
A participant entry not only returns information about a particular participant, but it may also include navigation links, which are links to related Results API entries from other feeds. The above example includes three navigation links, which are identified by tags. The first navigation link in an entry will always be a link to itself and the ones after links to entries from other feeds. In this example, the second navigation link is a link to all the results for this participant:
To navigate to the list of results for this participant, you would append the address in the href= section of the navigation link to the participant entry's URL, which would look like the following:
The list of results that the above URL would retrieve would include all the assessment results that have been ETLed into the Results Warehouse for this participant. From there, you could use other navigation links to visit other related entries. Because all the Results API links are internally linked to each other, you could literally go on forever, jumping from related data to related data.


text: In urbanised areas around the world, road pricing policies are considered more and more frequently, the aim often being to alleviate (some of the) external traffic-related costs. To assess the effects of a proposed road pricing measure, several evaluation measures can be used, coming from different disciplines, including economics, transportation science and transport geography. In this paper, we compare two types of evaluation measure that can be used to assess the effectiveness of road pricing measures: geographical accessibility measures and economic social surplus measures. We explore the possibilities of both types of measure in terms of evaluating road pricing effects from a theoretical perspective, as well as comparing their outcome measures for a research area in the Netherlands. By means of correlation analysis and spatial comparison of outcomes, we find that geographical accessibility measures, being simpler and easier to interpret than economic measures, offer a poor proxy of the outcomes of the economic evaluation measures and vice versa. Therefore, the decision whether to use economic surplus measures or geographical accessibility indicators to a large extent depends on the research goal. If the goal is to gain a thorough insight into the monetary gains/losses resulting from a policy measure, economic measures, such as the rule-of-half or the logsum measure, are preferable. However, if there are concrete questions about the changes in accessibility of certain types of activity locations, geographical indicators, such as the contour and potential measures, are more appropriate. The outcomes of such geographical measures, and especially those of the contour measures, are, however, sensitive to the spatial distribution of activity locations in the area under study and to the selection of the impedance parameter that has to be selected in advance to compute the effects. Therefore, if geographical indicators are to be used, it would be wise to use different sensitivity parameters. It is only then that a thorough insight can be gained into the (sensitivity of) geographical accessibility effects. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.

A stack is a efficient copy of your archive, stored nearby or far away.
Stacks are designed to be incrementally synchronized with your archive. So as your archive changes; new layers are added and merged layers replaced (or not, your choice).
A stack can later be used to restore detail, repair layers, or even recover the entire archive.
Stack data is stored in a Stack Container. Curently there are (fundamentally) two container types: a writable filesytem or an Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 cloud object storage bucket. Additional container types are being developed.
A stack is bound to a single archive and can only exchange data with that one archive.
An archive can have multiple stacks. But all of the stacks will be copies of the same archive. For example, an archive of extremely sensative data might have a local (filesystem) stack for immediate duplication of captured files, along with a second long-term stack maintained on a remote cloud data service that only gets updated once or twice a month.
Stacks are organized into layers, just like your archive.
A key concept of stacks is a "slice." A slice is a set of layers in the archive that paired with an equivelent set of layers in the stack. In this context, "equivelent" means those layers represent the same set of captured changes.
In the beginning, when the layers in the archive are first transferred to the stack, there's a one-to-one pairing of layers, which each layer pair forming a single slice.
As layers are merged, however, this relationship changes. For example, if you merge layers 3-5 in the archive, the new singe (merged) layer now represents the same captured data as layers 3-5 in the stack.
In the above example, layer 30 in the archive can replace layers 31-33 in the stack. When that happens, the stack size is reduced by the same amount of storage receovered in the archive.
But the reverse is also possible. Archive layer 30 can be replaced with stack layers 31-33, restoring the intermedaite changes that were lost during in the merge.
Only whole slices can be transferred between the archive and the stack. This is an important concept, and the reason should be obvious. The single merged layer (30) in the archive represents the same set of item changes as layers 31-33 in the stack, just without the intermediate detail.
The post on creating stacks will show you how to seed the stack with the initial set of layers. Then read the post on updating stacks, and then the post on restoring slices and archives.

Speaker: Sister Lisa Mary McCartney, RSM
Topic: Seeds of Vocation in Story and Presence
Shortly after Angela spoke to me about your discussions on vocations and spirituality, I happened upon Fr. John Malthaner's parish bulletin. This late summer season occasioned his reflection on the fruits of planting seeds of faith and the spiritual life. That Biblical image -- "sowing the seeds of faith" – struck me as an apt metaphor for understanding your (our) role in encouraging vocations.
As Jesus has made abundantly clear through his parables, stories are a powerful means of sowing the Word of God in people's lives. My years of teaching literature have shown me the power of stories, and I believe each of us has stories, personal and inherited ones, well worth sharing. They come in Karios moments, often of love and crisis within our own lives and personal histories, and they can inspire vocations, plant the seeds of vocations—if we are alert and sensitive to a young man or woman calling them forth from us—and if we can invoke them. The stories are in us; the response is in them. We need to recollect our stories and have them ready in our hearts. That might require us to step away from our busyness and reflecting on our life and experiences in the presence of God, as Catholics, and for the sake of Catholicism in our 21st century.
Many of us Catholics tend to be reserved in talking about our faith and personal encounters with God, but I think it's time to get over our reservations, for more than ever before, we need to tell our stories of faith.
Our last three popes have called for a New Evangelization. I doubt they meant for us to become street-corner evangelists, so, how, in everyday life, might we do that? As the Body of Christ, we have a collective Catholic story that roots and animates all our stories of faith. It is the story of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, which literary scholars call an archetypal story. We are so fortunate to have that story unfold for us every year, every liturgical year, through our Sunday Masses. With Christ at the center, our part in salvation history continues to unfold in a multitude of discreet stories of faith, hope and love. Do we realize that?
I know I am not alone in being extraordinarily weary of the news media telling our stories. It seems they can't get beyond their own biases. They give us stories about Catholic happenings which, by and large, only sow seeds of discontent and division, not seeds of love and faith and hope. Today, we need to tell stories that build up our Church and society and strengthen our Catholic identity. I believe they are in us in our present reality, awaiting opportunities to be revealed. These are not stories of the golden age of Catholicism that never was, nor are they stories of a Catholic utopia that never will be. The Incarnation lives in us now in our present moment.
The seeds of my vocation were sown through story and presence. Telling a timely story and being present to another person is something anyone of us can do during the ordinary ways of daily life (I think it was St. Bernard of Clairvaux in the 11th Century who described the Blessed Virgin Mary's holiness as so extraordinary that it could only be described in the ordinary way of daily life.)
St. Paul played a huge role in early Christian evangelization and he learned and passed on some hard lessons. In Corinth, he uses the metaphor of the seed to give wise fatherly advice to the young, overly zealous, community: I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but it is God who makes it grow. (1 Cor 3:6). Today, in what is very distressing times, we can find peace and joy in this understanding of St. Paul. Whether in faith, in spirituality, or in vocation discernment, it is comforting to know that we—Serrans, any of us—can plant the seeds of faith and vocation, and let others, (maybe pastors, sisters, vocation ministers) do the watering. In all circumstances, we must place all our trust in God who gives the growth. Then, we can serve the faith and vocations without worry, but with a light heart.
We can, in fact, help God out simply by becoming a Johnny Appleseed. When I was 14, I met my Johnny Appleseed, and her name was Sr. Denise Carroll. She was a nurse in the DuBois Hospital, which was staffed by the Sisters of Mercy, and I was an overnight guest awaiting a tonsillectomy the next morning. I met Sr. Denise at about 9 o'clock in the evening. (I learned only later that every evening after a day's work, the Sisters visited individual patients. That is presence.) Sr. Denise charmed me with her Irish brogue and story of a boy who got a fishbone stuck in his throat at dinner on the eve of his confirmation. Providentially, his faithful grandmother was at hand and put a St. Benedict medal in a glass of water (to bless it, I guess). As he drank the water, the bone miraculously dislodged. Then, Sr. Denise took a Heinz pickle pin with a Sr. Benedict medal attached to it and pinned it on my hospital gown. At 14, I may have been somewhat skeptical, but I was certainly charmed.
Then Sister (as they use to say) explained, I was lucky to be just old enough to have Pentothal. I would receive it in the morning before surgery and fall sleep. Soon after, I would wake up with just a sore throat and be able to go home. That's a true story. I still have the pickle pin to prove it.
Around that time, I remember, my grandmother asking me if I wanted to be a Sister and being puzzled by the question and shaking my head, no. I suspect I must have been talking about Sr. Denise, and Gram saw that something when vocation the seed was planted. She read the sign and she was not a Serran; in fact, at the time, she wasn't even a Catholic.
By the end of my years in public school, I had a growing desire to know more about my Catholic faith and insisted on going to a Catholic college. (I'll admit after Book 1 and 2 of the Baltimore Catechism, I became a CCD drop out of sorts. The question-answer method and rote memorization to faith was just insufficient for me.) However, my Dad had one non-negotiable, the family never missed Sunday Mass and hardly ever did we skip parish devotions. (Actually, that is another story.)
After high school, I worked for a year and started attending daily Mass, then I found my way to Mercyhurst which provided good soil for the seed in me. Six years after I met Sr. Denise, I sat in the Mercyhurst College chapel, and with unambiguous clarity thought, "Jesus, I want to know you more and help others to know you." That moment of decision has held steady for over 50 year.
My story has a million, a trillion, variations in the history of the Church, but vocations to the priesthood, sisterhood, brotherhood, and sacramental marriage center in Christ. I know you have such stories and experiences that the Holy Spirit will use to influence, call forth, and encourage others. I invite you to share your stories of faith, not only for the sake of religious vocations but for the sake of our Catholic identity in the 21st century.
In the 1980s when I was finishing grad school, Alasdair MacIntyre, who was then a Professor of Philosophy at Notre Dame, wrote a book entitled, After Virtue, which has been recognized as one of the great work of philosophy and moral life in the 20th C. He argues that our world (the world we in this room know) has lost a sense of its narrative history and he contends that in our actions and practice, we are essentially story-telling creatures and that it is through narratives that we begin to learn who we are and how we are called on to behave. In an awesome statement, he says, "Deprive children of stories and you leave them unscripted, anxious stutterers in their actions as in their words.
If we want to nurture vocations, we need to secure the Catholic Christian identity of our children and young people and provide them with an abundance of formative stories. Reading and telling bible stories, stories of the saints, and stories from our hearts—and getting the kids to Mass—I believe, are essential for a new evangelization.

The City of Hudson is partnering with the North East Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) to perform a drainage study of the Brandywine Creek and Brandywine Tributary watersheds. The goal of the study is to better identify and understand any local existing flooding or storm water related issues near downtown and other areas within the watershed and prioritize future capital improvement projects.
The study will evaluate the existing storm water infrastructure elements along Brandywine Creek, the Brandywine Creek Tributary and other local critical areas within the watershed. The study will catalog the existing infrastructure, generate a new hydrologic and hydraulic model of the infrastructure, develop and rank alternative solutions to mitigate any identified storm water flooding related problems and potential water quality improvements. The findings will then be compiled into a storm water master plan to be used for future planning and budgeting of capital improvement projects.
NEORSD is funding the study of the regional components of the Brandywine Creek Watershed as part of their Cuyahoga River South Stormwater Master Plan. The City is funding the portions of the study in the local storm system.
To help pay for part of the City's portion of the Brandywine Creek Watershed Study, the City secured funding from the Ohio Lake Erie Commission for a Lake Erie Protection Fund Small that will be used to partially fund the study. The City will also utilize the funds collected by NEORSD by the Hudson sewer customers to offset the remaining costs of this study.
The anticipated timeline for the completion of the report is in the Fall, 2018.

PURPOSE. To determine the effect of amniotic membrane-conditioned medium (AMCM), via insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 induction, on human corneal epithelial cell (HCEC) proliferation. METHODS. HCECs were cultured from corneal limbal tissue with supplemented hormonal epithelial medium (SHEM). After administration of AMCM, cell proliferation was evaluated with an MTT assay and DNA synthesis with methyl-[3H]-thymidine incorporation assay. RT-PCR and Western immunoblot analyses were performed, to determine potential inducible factors that may be associated with AMCM-induced cell proliferation. Neutralizing anti-IGF-1 antibody and small interfering (si)RNA were also used to clarify the role of IGF-1 in AMCM-induced HCEC proliferation. RESULTS. HCEC proliferation increased after AMCM treatment. Of the cytokines known to be associated with HCEC proliferation, only IGF-1 expression was upregulated in response to AMCM in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The IGF-1 induction effect was found on both AMCM from live AM and from cryopreserved AM. HCEC proliferation was also increased by addition of exogenous IGF-1. AMCM-induced HCEC proliferation was inhibited in the presence of neutralizing anti-IGF-1 antibody and IGF-1 siRNA. Finally, Akt phosphorylation was increased in HCECs after AMCM treatment and was inhibited by IGF-1 siRNA. CONCLUSIONS. IGF-1 is induced by AMCM during HCEC proliferation, and this induction may play an important role in the amniotic membrane during HCEC proliferation and migration in several intractable corneal epithelial defects.

TN Has Seven New Historical Places
News release from Tennessee Historical Commission:
NASHVILLE - The Tennessee Historical Commission has announced seven Tennessee sites have been added to the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register of Historic Places is the nation's official list of cultural resources worthy of preservation. It is part of a nationwide program that coordinates and supports efforts to identify, evaluate and protect historic resources. The Tennessee Historical Commission administers the program in Tennessee.
"These listings highlight some of the diverse places that tell the story of Tennessee's unique history," said Patrick McIntyre, executive director of the Tennessee Historical Commission. "Our office is proud of its role in ensuring recognition of these time-honored places that help give Tennesseans a sense of pride in their communities."
Sites recently added to the National Register of Historic Places include:
Fort Anderson on Militia Hill - The Coal Creek War is a significant part of Anderson County's history and the remains of the fort near Lake City are an excellent representation of this event. The site consists of trenches and earthworks from around 1892, which were constructed by the Tennessee Militia who came to the area to put an end to the coal miners' uprising. Miners were fighting against the corrupt and unjust convict leasing system. The Coal Creek War was a key event in the conflict between the mining industry, the state and free miners that helped end the convict leasing system.
Johnson City Country Club - A.W. Tillinghast, a nationally known golf course designer and developer of the strategic golf course, designed the course at the Johnson City Country Club. The large tee boxes, rolling hills, deep sand traps and tiered greens that comprise the golf course are all trademarks of Tillinghast's original design. Only nine of the 18 holes at the golf course were built in 1919; the remaining holes were completed in 1941 and 1948. As the premier golf course in the region, the Johnson City Country Club promoted high school and college golf and hosted many charitable events. It is important for its landscape design and for its part in Johnson City's recreational history.
Memphis Landing - This Memphis cobblestone landing was first listed in the National Register as part of the Cotton Row Historic District in 1979. More recent research showed that the landing has national importance as a major inland port. Cotton was a major crop for more than a century and for most of that time Memphis was a major shipping point for cotton. Beginning in 1838 when the landing was a mud flat, through the paving of the landing in the 1850s, and through changes in the early 20th century, the approximate 11 acres that comprise the Memphis Landing played an essential role in the commercial development of the U.S.
Park-Elkins Historic District - The Park-Elkins Historic District is a two-street area located in the larger Sylvan Park neighborhood of Nashville in Davidson County. There are 130 principal buildings along Park and Elkins avenues, between 42nd Avenue on the east and 50th Avenue on the west. Most of the district is residential, although there are churches, a park and a commercial building included in the nomination. This area is a good representation of the growth and development of suburban West Nashville from the late 1880s through the mid-20th century. The Park-Elkins Historic District contains good examples of Queen Anne, Queen Anne Cottage and bungalow-style houses.
Piney Flats Historic District - Sullivan County's Piney Flats Historic District includes the historic core of the community. The majority of the properties are houses, but there is also a cemetery, church, school, commercial building and small-industry buildings. The Queen Anne style predominates, along with many bungalow houses. Growth of the community began when the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad arrived in the region. Easier access to the railroad meant that new businesses came to Piney Flats. Wolfe Brothers and Co., a woodworking company, took advantage of the improved transportation and became a major employer. The existing historic resources represent the historic and architectural development of Piney Flats.
Russell House - Located in Springfield in Robertson County, the Russell House was built for Charles and Julia Russell in _PHONE_. It is an important example of the Colonial Revival style in Springfield. The asymmetrical façade is different from most Colonial Revival houses in the area, but the house does have several character-defining features of the style. The over-sized broken or swan-neck pediment over the entry, sidelights, multi-light double-hung windows and brick corbelling below the eaves and on the chimneys are important elements of the Colonial Revival style on the exterior of the Russell House. Inside, the main design features of the house include wood-paneled doors, an elaborate curved main stair, built-in shelving/storage, paneled wainscoting and a variety of fireplaces.
Whitaker-Motlow House - Located in the community of Mulberry in Lincoln County, the Whitaker-Motlow House was built around 1846 and re-built in 1909 following tornado damage. The style of the house combines Greek Revival and Italianate designs. The second story of the house was severely damaged in the 1909 tornado and re-built in the same style as the 1846 house. Important architectural features of the house include the one bay, two-story portico with its bracketed pediment, paired multi-light windows with shutters, brick pilasters and the main entry with transom and sidelights. Inside, the house retains a historic fireplace and original woodwork.
Links to each of the completed nomination forms can be found in the site descriptions listed above. For more information about the National Register of Historic Places or the Tennessee Historical Commission, please visit the Web site at _URL_.

Japanese units of measurement
The system is Chinese in origin. The units originated in the Shang Dynasty in the 13th century BC, and eventually stabilized in the Zhou Dynasty in the 10th century BC and spread from there to Japan, South East Asia, and Korea. The units of the Tang Dynasty were officially adopted in Japan in 701, and the current shaku measurement has hardly altered since then. Many Taiwanese units of measurement are derived from the shakkanhō system.
From 1924, the shakkanhō system was replaced by the metric system, and use of the old units for official purposes was forbidden after 31 March 1966. However, in several instances the old system is still used. In carpentry and agriculture use of the old-fashioned terms is common. Tools such as Japanese chisels, spatels, saws, hammers are manufactured in sizes of sun and bu. Land is sold on the basis of price in tsubo. Until the 2005 Japanese census, people were able to give the area of their houses in either square metres or tsubo. The tsubo was not used in the 2010 census.
There are several different versions of the shakkanhō. The tables below show the one in common use in the Edo period. In 1891 the most common units were given definitions in terms of the metric system:
|Note: Definitions are exact and conversions are rounded to four significant figures.|
The basis of the shakkanhō length measurements is the shaku, which originated in ancient China. The other units are all fixed fractions or multiples of this basic unit. The shaku was originally the length from the thumb to the middle finger (about 18 cm or 7.1 in), but its length, and hence the length of the other units, gradually increased, since the length of the unit was related to the level of taxation.
Various shaku developed for various purposes. The unit of all measurement, such as area, is shaku. To distinguish from other shaku, this unit is called the kanejaku (曲尺). Kanejaku means "carpenter's square", and this shaku was used by Japanese carpenters. The carpenter's shaku, used for construction, preserved the original Chinese shaku measurement, because it was never altered, whereas the other shaku systems, which were used for taxation or trade, were altered to increase taxation, and, hence, gradually deviated from the original value.
The kujirajaku (鯨尺), literally "whale shaku", was a standard used in the clothing industry. The name, "whale shaku", comes from the rulers, which were made from baleen. A kujirajaku is 25% longer than kanejaku.
As well as the kanejaku and kujirajaku systems, other shaku systems also existed. One example is the gofukujaku (呉服尺), which refers to traditional Japanese clothing, such as kimonos. In the gofukujaku system, one shaku equals 1.2 times the kanejaku.
Shaku units are still used for construction materials in Japan. For example, plywood is usually manufactured in 182 cm × 91 cm (about 72 in × 36 in) sheets known in the trade as saburokuhan (3 × 6版), or 3 × 6 shaku. Each sheet is about the size of one tatami mat. The thicknesses of the sheets, however, are usually measured in millimetres.
The names of these units also live in the name of the bamboo flute shakuhachi (尺八), literally "shaku eight", which measures one shaku and eight sun, and the Japanese version of the Tom Thumb story, Issun Bōshi (一寸法師), literally "one sun boy", as well as in many Japanese proverbs.
Note: There is an older type of 'ri', about 600 m. This can be seen in use, for example, in beach names. Kujukuri Beach is 99 ri (kyu ju ku), about 60 km. Shichiri Beach is 7 ri (shichi) 4.2 km. While this use is evidence of the existence of the 'old' ri, information about it in English is hard to come by.
The tsubo, which is essentially the area of two standard sized tatami mats (tatami have an aspect ratio of 2:1, so two side by side form a square), is still commonly used in discussing land pricing in Japan. Note that actual tatami vary in size regionally, though legally the area of a tsubo is standardized. The larger units are also commonly used by Japanese farmers for discussing the sizes of fields.
These units are still used, for example, in sake production.
|Unit||shō||Metric||US liquid measure||Imperial|
|Romanized||Kanji||millilitres||litres||fluid ounces||pints||gallons||fluid ounces||pint||gallons|
The Japanese unit of mass, momme, is a recognized unit in the international pearl industry.
|kan or kanme||貫, 貫目||1000||3.75×106||3750||3.75||2116||132.3||8.267|
The names of old money live on in Japanese proverbs such as haya oki wa san mon no toku, literally "Waking early gets you three mon", comparable to the English language proverb, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."
|1 hiki||疋||10 mon|
|1 kanmon||貫文||100 hiki|
Apart from shakkanhō and the metric system, other units are also commonly used in Japan. For example, the inch is used in the following:
- The tyre sizes of bicycles, which are based on a British system
- In the computer industry, for the sizes of parts, connectors, and semiconductor wafers.
- Together with feet, for the width and length of magnetic tape.
- The sizes of television and monitor/phone screens. However, the character 型 ("-gata") is substituted for インチ ("inch") on televisions. Thus, a television with a 17-inch diagonal measure is described as 17型. If the television screen is a 16:9 ratio, the letter "V" (for "vista") prefixes the character 型 ("-gata"). For example. 32V型 means 32-inch widescreen.
- The sizes of photographic prints, though rounded to the nearest millimetre.

Odoo 16 Development Book
List Views
In Odoo, views are mainly for visualization, and it is more user-friendly. You can describe a view's appearance while defining it. In Odoo, there are various views that offer various visualizations. A form of view called a list view resembles a tree or list structure.
Furthermore, you can view numerous records on a single screen.
For creating a list view, first, you want to define a model and its fields. I.e.,
class PatientInfo(models.Model):
 _name = 'patient.info'
 _description = 'Patient Information'
 name = fields.Char(string="Name")
 age = fields.Char(string="Age")
 gender = fields.Char(string='Gender')
 phone = fields.Integer(string="Phone")
 partner_email = fields.Char(string="Email")
 doctor_id = fields.Many2one('res.partner')
Here defined a new model hospital. Patient and also created new fields for the model. Then the next step is to define a view from XML.
i.e.
First define the action window for the views.
<record id="patient_action" model="ir.actions.act_window">
 <field name="name">Patient</field>
 <field name="res_model">patient.info</field>
 <field name="help" type="html">

 No patients found. Let's create one!

To get things done, use activities and status on patients.

</field>
 <field name="view_mode">tree,form</field>
 </record>
List view:
<record id="patient_info_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
 <field name="name">patient.info.form</field>
 <field name="model">patient.info</field>
 <field name="arch" type="xml">
 <tree string="cases">
 <field name="name"/>
 <field name="age"/>
 <field name="gender"/>
 <field name="phone"/>
 <field name="partner_email"/>
 <field name="doctor_id"/>
 </tree>
 </field>
 </record>

Here, the tree element serves as the list view's root element, and you can specify the fields you wish to see on the tree view or list view inside the tree tag. Use the editable attribute to make the tree view editable if you wish to. For this characteristic, top and bottom values are possible. To prevent the deletion of the record, use delete=False.To prevent the creation of the record, use create=0.edit=0 stops the record from being edited. For example, if we set limit=50, then only 50 records will be shown in the tree view. You can set a limit for the tree view.

Does it matter where you get your degree?
Experts argue that the higher the level of studies the options of having a job increase. Students who earn degrees tend to increase their self-esteem and independence. "A university degree guarantees to find a job of higher quality and faster", but is this true?
In this brief guide, we're going to answer the question "Does it matter where you get your degree?'' academic or social elite, university and its influence to get a job, and… does university guarantee success?
Does it matter where you get your degree?
No, it doesn't matter where you get your degree. But how could it not matter?
As most of us know, the university is an institution for higher education and the traditional academy institution to obtain degrees; the university isn't just an education; it's a network, a signal, and an identity.
The main function of the university is to train the student in specialized knowledge of the chosen branch.
You've most likely heard that those who study at renowned institutions of higher learning will find it easier to get a job than those who study at lesser-known institutions. But is this true? To what extent does the name of the school in which a program is attended to influence the choice of recruiters in an interview?
In recent years the current role of the university has been discussed in determining your employment possibilities.
In the UK, a major business consulting firm advertised that using the university as a selection criterion for its employees was counterproductive.
The firm in question, Deloitte, said it had changed the recruitment process so that those in charge of recruiting new employees at the firm wouldn't know the university where the candidate for the position studied.
So, Deloitte hopes to combat what it calls "unconscious biases" about applicants' home universities and seek talent in a broader field, not limited to more traditional universities, says BBC education correspondent Sean Coughlan.
The company assures that it's partly motivated by a civic concern: improving social mobility in the country.
But, David Sproul, an executive at the firm, also assures that the measure suits Deloitte since companies need "to hire people who know how to think and innovate in different ways, who come from different contexts and bring with them a range of perspectives."
Several of the multinationals that compete with Deloitte in the UK have adopted similar measures, says our correspondent.
The accounting firm Ernst and Young, for example, "will remove all academic and educational details from its job application process," says Sean Coughlan of the BBC.
However, this topic is still very controversial, and there will be those who don't agree because, in the world we live in, many companies take into account where you studied.
Companies discriminate against the work capacity of students who graduated from universities that aren't prestigious. This is because companies, before looking at the capabilities of professionals, first look at which university they're graduated from.
Although a University is very important for the training of a professional, this isn't all, that is, the name of the institution shouldn't be worth more than the intellect and skills of the person applying for the job.
Does the university influence you to get a job?
The socioeconomic level influences the training we can access. And all this has an impact on employability, on the work that can be obtained, and on the salary that is possible to achieve.
But to what extent can reputation be beneficial or detrimental to getting a job?
The reputation of the university matters, but not as much as the universities would've you believe when it comes to getting a job. The number one factor considered by most organizations that hire people is the individual, their accomplishments, attitude, and demonstrated knowledge and skills.
However, no one is going to give you a percentage of how important it can be, this will depend on the nature of the job, the employer, and whether or not the university you graduated from has contact with the company you are applying to.
A university or government agency is more likely to consider a university reputation important than an industrial company, a high-tech company, etc.
This is because companies succeed by having employees who produce outstanding results, not by having outstanding resumes for their employees. And keep in mind that businesses are where most of the jobs are located.
Another important consideration is that individual academic programs matter more than the college reputation. For example, an engineering degree from Harvard would be considered less prestigious than one from Purdue, but a history degree from Harvard would be more prestigious than one from Purdue.
When you look at two students from different universities, with roughly comparable grade point averages and other achievements, you must determine how far apart reputations are.
The US has over 3,000 four-year colleges and universities, so anyone who graduates from one of the top 100 programs in most fields would be considered very well-educated. Most companies wouldn't consider the difference significant.
On the other hand, if the field is highly specialized where there aren't many schools offering it, rankings and reputation would matter more. If a student comes from a country where there are only a few highly rated universities/programs, the ranking would matter a bit more.
Another thing to think about is whether the college will allow the student to do the kinds of things that will eventually look good on a resume: good grades, accomplishments outside of the classroom, etc. A "huge state university" will generally offer many assets and resources, but many distractions and a lot of competition for those assets and resources.
A smaller university will offer more individual attention and a greater opportunity to stand out from the crowd. A program that offers a cooperative option will result in the student having several years of work experience in their field of study, which will be very attractive to most employers.
Does the university guarantee success?
This question has been the subject of multiple debates in recent years and the answers are inconclusive. On the one hand, the academic camp says yes. That the university is essential to achieve our goals and objectives in life
On the other hand, the empirical and experiential camp says no. That university at this time isn't essential to be successful, much less it's a guarantee of finding a good job. What do you think?
The answer seems to be far from easy. For example, I've met professionals with the best qualifications who have been stranded looking for a job according to their knowledge. People with majors, masters, and doctorates who barely earn a little more than a baker, electrician, or mechanic.
At the same time, I've also met many people without university studies who decided to undertake and were successful with their businesses, brands, and projects. However, we're not going to fool ourselves: there are successes and failures on both sides.
Here it isn't a question of judging some and exalting others. However, according to the experience of various entrepreneurs and what they've been able to learn throughout their career, we can say that university doesn't guarantee success and we'll explain the reasons.
The educational system destroys creativity
From childhood, we're programmed to compete in a system based on qualifications. It doesn't matter what your skills, tastes, or talents are. We all have to take the same exam at the end of the year to see if we're "qualified" to advance in the course. Our abilities, instead of being enhanced, are repressed in a homogeneous and not very diverse educational model.
The thrill of knowledge
Success isn't having money. It's leading a life according to what we believe, think, and feel. It's a perfect balance between wanting and doing. Wanting what we do and doing what we want.
The educational system teaches us, of course, it does, but it teaches us dates to memorize, idyllic social settings, and the value of obedience. And beware, my criticism isn't directed towards knowledge, because I'm a great reader, a person who is always investigating, learning, asking questions. My criticism is directed towards our educational system, which takes away all the emotion from the process of knowing, investigating, and inquiring about new things.
The Eternal Student Bubble
Don't get me wrong, going to college isn't bad. But ask yourself one thing, what good is it to spend the best years of our lives accumulating undergraduate, specialization, master's, doctorate, and postdoctoral degrees? Doing an educational career from first grade to a doctorate can take us up to 30 years of our lives. Worth it?
Today's society suffers from the syndrome of accumulation of titles. Thirty years ago our parents got a good job with just a high school degree. As the years passed, they began to demand an undergraduate degree, then a master's degree, and now a doctorate. How far will we go?
In my opinion, in this system, we waste a lot of valuable time, especially because we shouldn't confuse studying with going to university, or knowledge with academic achievement. And hey! Luckily people like Elon Musk at Tesla and Tim Cook at Apple are quickly picking up on this.
In both companies the selection processes are practical. Instead of asking for college degrees, applicants are given a test that consists of solving a practical problem. Has the applicant doctorate or bachelor's degree.
So, what do you think? Do universities guarantee success?
FAQSs: Does it matter where you get your degree?
Does it matter where you get your degree?
Yes, most likely the job where you apply requires a bachelor's degree, there are employers, who require specific job skills that they need and/or the job requires a particular type of degree. However, there may also be

For multi-digit numbers, the digits can only consist of the numbers 1, 3, 7 and 9, since any even digit will eventually be rotated to the unit's place and make the number even, and any number ending with 5 is divisible by the circular prime number 5.
A number consisting entirely of 1s is called a RepUnit (i.e., repetitive unit - denoted as Rn) and is not discussed in detail here. These types of circular primes are easier to factor than the non-RepUnit ones due to Fermat's Little Theorem and other optimized algorithms. One requirement, however, is that the number of units has to be prime.
Rm*n = (10m*n - 1) /9
= ((10m - 1) / 9) * (10m*(n - 1) + 10m*(n - 2) + … + 10m + 1)
= Rm * (10m*(n - 1) + 10m*(n - 2) + … + 10m + 1)
Visually, n Rm's concatenated together would form an Rm*n, as would m Rn's.
11111 11111 … 11111 = Rm*n
Rm Rm Rm
Hence, Rn is prime only if n is prime.
The current list of circular primes are:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11 (R2), 13, 17, 37, 79, 113, 197, 199, 337, 1193, 3779, 11939, 19937, 193939, 199933, R19, R23, R317, and R1031.
A few more potential circular primes are:
R49081 and R86453.
With the exception of the numbers 2 and 5, the digits of any circular prime have to be 1, 3, 7, or 9.
Since we're trying to optimize the algorithm, let us assume the following decimal-to-binary, one-to-one mapping:
Thus, for two-digit numbers,
Let's look at 32-bit binary numbers.
Assume, n = 677643.
0FEDCBA9876543210FEDCBA987654321 = 32 bits
00000000000010100101011100001011 = 677643 ↔ _PHONE_
00000000000011101001010111000010 = 955842 ↔ _PHONE_
Thus, to rotate any integer with n digits, we just perform a couple of bitwise shifts on the current integer and compare the new one with the old.
This works well when testing 32 and 64-bit decimal numbers, or digits up to length 16 and 32.
Method #1 can be combined with a linked list to speed up the search and remove method.
To search for 3-digit circular numbers, we first create a list of all 3-digit numbers that begin with 1.
Then, to find the 3-digit numbers that begin with 3, we start searching through the list of numbers beginning with 1 from 133.
Next, we find the 3-digit numbers that begin with 7 by searching through the list of numbers beginning with 3 found from 377.
Since 333 and 777 are divisible by 3 and 7, respectively, we can just as easily skip those numbers. If the number is 0, then no rotation is performed, and a special algorithm to check primality for RepUnits is used.
This method can easily be extended to search for circular primes of any size.
Note: There are no circular primes that begin with 9.
This is probably the most efficient method.
Let's assume we're checking all primes with a fixed number of digits (n), and we're starting at Rn. Without loss of generality, let's assume n = 6. Then our sequence is 111111 → 111113 → 111117 → 111119. From 111119, we go to 111133, since starting at 111131 would imply a rotation 111113 that is already covered. The unit digit can only be equal to the leading digit when all the digits are 1 (Rn), otherwise it is divisible by 3, 7, or 9.
To assure numbers that cannot be rotated into smaller numbers, whenever we're about to increment the last 9, from the unit's end, we add 2 to the digit before it (and skip over 5s) and concatenate the remaining digits from the beginning and increment the unit digit by 2. If the number before that is 9, we increment the first non-9 before that and concatenate the rest from the beginning (i.e., 191999 → 193999 → 193193 → 193197, with the two middle steps shown for comprehension).
Thus, we guarantee no smaller number on rotation.

Building an Arch
An arch is a great means of linking two separate spaces, creating a doorway between one garden 'room' and another, or showcasing plants like climbers.
1. Lay two of the posts and one of the 50 mm crossbeams on the ground in an upside down 'U' shape and measure and mark where you need to drill through them to bolt the crossbeam to the posts. Drill and bolt them together.
2. Screw a temporary 20 mm crossbeam onto the posts. Apart from keeping the posts the right distance apart, the temporary beams will help when moving the finished arch into place.
3. Stack the bracing planks together and mark and drill 5 mm holes through both ends of all of them in one go.
4. Measure and mark on the posts and 50 mm crossbeam where to place the braces (three need to go on the crossbeam and one each ±800 mm from the bottom of the posts). Drill holes into the posts and crossbeam and screw one end of the braces onto them.
5. Follow the same procedure with the remaining posts and crossbeams, ending by screwing the opposite ends of the braces into them. You now have your arch.
6. Drill holes at 200 mm intervals up the posts in order to weave wire to support climbing plants. Use an eye-bolt and turnbuckle to tension the wire.
7. Treat the arch feet with a waterproofing product to prevent rotting and extend the arch's lifespan. Your arch is now ready to go into the ground.
8. Mark and measure where you want to place it and dig 400 mm deep holes for its feet.
9. Mix one part cement with four parts river sand and enough water for a porridge-like consistency. Fill the holes two-thirds of the way up with the mixture. Push the feet of your arch into the cement, checking with a spirit level that the crossbeams are horizontal. Leave overnight to dry, then back-fill. Remove the temporary crossbeams.
10. Prime the wooden parts of the arch with universal undercoat or wood primer, leave to dry, then paint with two coats of exterior, high-exposure paint in the colour of your choice.


the handwritten grimoires, even esoteric publications and Witchcraft handbooks that Kol has probably collected over the centuries are stored within the Playhouse.
Vincent Griffith's Grimoire
Vincent's grimoire opened with a skull drawn
It is possible that this grimoire contains traditions and rituals specific of the Tremé Coven, as well as the wild magic practiced by Vincent and Eva described by the former Regent, Josephine LaRue.
Freya Mikaelson's Grimoire
Freya tracing seals on paper sheets near her grimoire
Freya Mikaelson's grimoire is a light leather-bound book with yellowed pages. Since Freya doubted that Davina Claire was able to understand her magic, it's possible that her grimoire contains specific information of Freya's magic, including Connective Magic and Kenning she learned from her aunt and captor Dahlia. Spells of Possession and magic related to death, such as the Death-Memory Conjuration Spell, are contained therein.
In addition to her own grimoire, which she also used for practicing in making seals to weaken Lucien Castle in The Devil Comes Here and Sighs, Freya has at her disposal Esther's grimoires, and perhaps even those that belonged to her brother Kol. This was shown in Out of the Easy, when she tried to magically locate her sister Rebekah, and an assortment of grimoires was placed on her working table at St. Louis Cathedral's attic.
Hope Mikaelson's Grimoire
Hope's notebook grimoire.
Hope Mikaelson's grimoire is a notebook with a cover decorated with glitter and colored stickers. A yellow scrap of cardboard glued to the front-cover bears the title of the book, "Hope's Grimoire," written in block capitals with letters of different colors. The pages contain disparate notions on witchcraft and instructions on how to perform spells and rituals, such as astral projecting. The texts are written with pencils and markers of different colors in a clear and childish calligraphy and are decorated with drawings and illustrations.
Throughout Legacies Series
Lizzie Saltzman's Grimoire
In Yup, It's a Leprechaun, All Right, Lizzie mentions to Kaleb that she has her own grimoire. Within its pages, she has some old, Salem-era spells for dispersing angry mobs. She had hoped to try and figure out if she could reverse one of them to draw people to the Salvatore School so help with their Fundraiser day to save the school from being taken by the bank because of a property tax lien.
The Necromancer's Grimoire
The Necromancer's grimoire.
"I know you two have history, and this grimoire of his is full of... Black magic spells."
Alaric and Josie about The Necromancer's grimoire in I Was Made To Love You
The Necromancer's Grimoire is a dark tome filled with dark and powerful black magic spells. In Facing Darkness is Kinda My Thing, the Necromancer proposed to work with Alaric in order to rid him of Josie and gain the dark magic that rebounded to her after she broke the Mora Miserium. In Hold on Tight, while the Necromancer prepared his sacrifices and consecrated Mystic Falls High School, Alyssa Chang used the Necromancer's grimoire to recreate the original Triad spell that spawned Malivore. In I Was Made To Love You, however, the amnesiac Necromancer was given back his grimoire by Josie and Alaric, hoping to raise Leonardo DaVinci. The more dark arts he performed, the more he remembered and could read the grimoire. However, he sacrificed himself performing a spell that could dispel other spells for Alaric.
Other Grimoires
Though not stated officially as "Grimoires", two additional tomes exist to provide knowledge and spell-work for various magic.
The Tome of the Everlastings
In I Would for You, the tome of the Everlasting was introduced. Within its pages, it contained the intricate spell work of the Shamans that created the Huntress, as well as the the Phoenix Sword and Stone. Given the partial destruction of the Armory in I Was Feeling Epic, it is unknown if this book or the spells contained within its pages survived.
The Sacrificial Magic Instruction Manual
TO402-124-Vincent's Book.png
In No Quarter, the journal was seen for the first time and was later elaborated upon in Haunter of Ruins; it was an instruction manual for Sacrificial Magic. Within its pages, it details a unique form of Sacrificial Magic not common to New Orleans witches. Marcel assumed the sacrifices were made to the sacrificing witch's ancestors, though Vincent claims it is to something different, something older than the Ancestors. Vincent also states that "the book never gave it a name" to what he and Eva made sacrifices too. Though written in the former's hand, he has no recollection of writing it. In Voodoo Child, Vincent claims that it contains the secrets to the Hollow's magic and is an extension of the Hollow itself, imbued with her magic, which can be used in powerful spells, making it an eternal object. However, possessing the young witch, Hope Mikaelson, the Hollow destroyed the book herself, likely being the only entity that could, as Vincent also attempted and failed once before.
 - The word "grimoire" came from the old French "grammaire" meaning "a handbook". In the Medieval Age, grimoires were ceremonial magic handbooks.
 - In The Originals: The Rise, Elijah says that Esther's Grimoires were concealed by false legends to prevent witches' attempts to take possession of them.
 - The largest collection of grimoires had belonged to Jonas Martin. Upon his death, Bonnie took possession of them.
 - Many witches appear to be endowed with artistic skills, given the detailed illustrations shown in the various grimoires.
 - In Voodoo Child, Klaus states he has a whole library of Grimoires.
 - In I'll Tell You a Story, there is a continuity error with the grimoire that Lizzie reads from. It is Esther's grimoires, the same one that Davina stole a page from in Alone with Everybody and that Freya used in One Wrong Turn On Bourbon. The error is continued in That's Nothing I Had to Remember when Josie visits Freya in New Orleans to ask for Freya's help to reverse engineer and learn a spell

"Let's go to the gym and work up a sweat".
So, does this mean that if you don't get "sweaty Betty", you may as well not have bothered going?
Definitely not! You can still burn energy/fat and not perspire!
Perspiring is your body's way of cooling itself, similar to the fan on a car cutting in. If this didn't happen, you'd overheat and collapse (just like the cars you see at the side of the road steaming). Cool temperatures keep perspiration down but your heart can be beating just as high as if you were out in the tropics!
Who sweats more – the 'fit' or the 'unfit'?
We'll use the word "perspire" as it sounds much better than "sweat" but in essence, it's the same. Depending on age, fitness level, gender and the environment, perspiration is different from person to person. You therefore cannot compare and say he/she is not fit because they sweat a lot or don't sweat at all. We all sweat at our own rate. That said, the fitter you get, the quicker and more you will sweat from your own base level.
The body does not like its internal temperature to change, and as you increase your fitness the body becomes better at maintaining its internal temperature by sweating sooner and more, thereby dissipating the increased heat from exercise faster and more effectively. So more sweat is a sign of fitness (but only when compared to your 'base' sweat level).
Furthermore, exercising in air conditioned rooms or cold air means you will not perspire as much because your body does not get as hot and the air will evaporate any "water". With the science "hat" on, this is known as radiation – heat "radiating" out of the skin when the air around you is cooler than your body. However, in humid climates, the perspiration can't evaporate and that's why it drips off you (nice!).
So, it's important to note that the amount you perspire depends more on the conditions you are exercising in (outdoor sin the hot sun versus indoors in an air-conditioned room) than on the energy you're burning – when you exercise, you are sweating all the time, but it is evaporating more or less depending on what conditions you are in.
Did you know…
- Perspiration is made up of water, potassium and salt? It varies in every person.
- The average person has 2.6 million sweat glands
Losing excessive amounts of water makes you dehydrated, so ensure you're taking enough water on board when you exercise. Also, due to the loss of the salt and other minerals, it is important to replace salt in your diet. This is not just any salt or any salt you buy from supermarkets. Salt, found naturally and unprocessed, contains many trace elements including potassium and sodium chloride. Trace elements are important for the body but get stripped out of processed salt and sold to the vitamin companies. Adding real salt to your diet (salt that is still grey and damp) will give your body all it needs. Click here for a site about real, natural salt.

|Title: ||A hybrid intelligent systems approach for die design in sheet metal forming|
|Authors: ||PILANI, R|
|Issue Date: ||2000|
|Publisher: ||SPRINGER LONDON LTD|
|Citation: ||INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY, 16(5), 370-375|
|Abstract: ||Die design is heavily experience based and the die design process is an iterative procedure of trial and error in order to obtain a final die design for the successful manufacture of stampings. Most automotive industries use internal guidelines and past experience for die design. Even though powerful computer-aided design systems are being used in automotive industry, the lack of adequate analysis tools at the initial die geometry design stage hinders the die manufacturing process, and also necessitates lead times of the order of 5-30 weeks. At the concept design stage, and during the initial die development process, the variations in geometry and process conditions are so large that it is prohibitively expensive to use 3D finite element analysis. The complexity of die design heuristic knowledge hinders the development and application of knowledge-based systems. Hybrid intelligent systems are computer programs in which at least one of the constituent models simulates intelligent behaviour. These models could be knowledge-based systems, artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic systems, etc. In this approach both artificial neural networks, knowledge-based systems and finite-element analysis (FEA) for modelling the design process are used. A simulation-based design approach for the die design process is followed. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are preliminary design tools which indicate the formability of the component geometry, for the selected process and material conditions. The ANN module is trained from FEA results for a generic set of component geometries, process conditions, and material properties. The final die design validation is carried out by FEA. The intelligent framework incorporates rules for material selection, process parameter selection and their modification. Component geometry is a critical parameter which affects the manufacturability of the given part. Hence, an intelligent geometry handling module, which automatically modifies and optimises the geometry of the designed die, is implemented in the present system. Knowledge-based blackboard architecture is used for the integration of various analysis models such as CAD, FEA, and ANN, as an intelligent framework for die design. The hybrid intelligent system provides an integrated decision support environment for simulation and analysis of the forming process, both during the initial die design phase and during the die tryout phase. The hybrid intelligent systems approach supports the capability for automatic evaluation of prospective die design for manufacturability, and performs automatic modification of design inputs. Application of the hybrid intelligent system for die design are described together with a comparison with shop floor data.|

JAKARTA - Head of the National Cultural Heritage Expert Team, Junus Satrio Atmodjo, revealed that the Dutch tram tracks found in the Phase 2A MRT construction project are the oldest tram tracks in Indonesia.
The archaeologist who is a consultant in the Phase 2A MRT project said that the first railroad in the Indonesian railway system was built in 1869, which connected the city of Semarang with the Responsibility Station.
"Two years after that, a tramway was built in Jakarta. So what we are facing now is the oldest tramway in Indonesia," Junus said during a virtual discussion in Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Monday, December 27.
Junus explained that although the electric trams in Jakarta were no longer used, the tram tracks were never removed and removed, but instead were buried under the road.
The Dutch colonial era tram track was found in the Glodok-Kota MRT Jakarta Phase 2A project, precisely under the TransJakarta line or on Jalan Pintu Besar Selatan.
Junus admitted that he had predicted that tram tracks would be found in the project for the construction of the Glodok-Kota MRT station and subway line.
This tram rail has actually been found before near the Fatahillah Museum. "So we can predict that we will also find the same tram tracks at the station construction site," he said.
Junus added that since the excavation was carried out in October, some of the tram tracks have surfaced.
The object of cultural heritage was found during excavations at a depth of 15-110 centimeters (cm) from the road surface.
The entire condition of the tram tracks is also considered to be still in good condition to be moved, stored and conserved.
