In light, black is lack of all color. In painting, however, the black pigment is the combination of all colors. In heraldry, black is called "sable". It is the opposite of white.
Origin of black[change | change source]
The word black comes from Old English blæc ("black, dark", also, "ink"), from Proto-Germanic *blakkaz ("burned"), and from Proto-Indo-European *bhleg-. Black is the darkest color/tone on a scale.
Black in science[change | change source]
In science, an object that is black absorbs the light that hits it. Because these objects do not reflect any light, the human eye can't see any color coming from that object. The brain then sees these objects as black.
A way to create black objects is to mix pigments. A pigment works by reflecting only the color of the pigment. For example, a blue pigment absorbs all colors except blue. By mixing pigments in the right quantities, black can be made.
In sunlight, black objects become quickly warm because they absorb much light.
Meaning of black[change | change source]
Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, safety, birth, male, and mystery. Black is a dark color, the darkest color there is. Black, along with gray and white, is a neutral color. This means that it is not a hot color or a cool color.
Black is a color seen with fear and the unknown (black holes). It can have a bad meaning (blackbird, black bunny) or a good meaning ('in the black', 'black is beautiful'). Black can stand for strength and power. It can be a formal, elegant, and high-class color (black tie, black Mercedes, black man). Black clothing is dark in emo and goth subculture.

going to have a default test helper file to load default code to use in all our test files. Create the file test/testHelper.coffee and putting the following line of code in it:
global.expect = require('chai').expect
Likewise in the src directory we're going to do the same. Create the file src/app.coffee and put the following line in it.
global.MathJS = require('mathjs')
TDD with MathJS
First we'll create two files, one for source and one for testing.
touch src/basicMath.coffee
touch test/basicMathTest.coffee
Then we'll open up test/basicMathTest.coffee and write our first failing test.
require './testHelper'
require '../src/basicMath'
describe 'Math basics', ->
 it 'input of 1 and 1 should be 2', ->
 expect(add 1, "1").to.equal 2
This test is testing the function add, which we have not defined yet. The parameters have one number as a string, as this is a common input we end up with when calculating things in JavaScript. Now you can go ahead and run your test with bin/test and see your first failing message.
Math basics
 1) input of 1 and 1 should be 2
0 passing (21ms)
1 failing
1) Math basics
 input of 1 and 1 should be 2:
 ReferenceError: add is not defined
 at Context.<anonymous> (test/basicMathTest.coffee:8:7)</anonymous>
The next step for TDD is to work toward green. Now we'll define an add method to our source code in src/basicMath.coffee. We'll give it the generic JavaScript adding operator for this next test.
require './app'
add = (a, b) ->
 a + b
global.add = add
The global.add = add exports the add function to be globally available. Now we run bin/test to see our new error message.
Math basics
 1) input of 1 and 1 should be 2
0 passing (24ms)
1 failing
1) Math basics
 input of 1 and 1 should be 2:
 AssertionError: expected '11' to equal 2
 at Context.<anonymous> (test/basicMathTest.coffee:6:27)</anonymous>
Here we now see that the add method is correctly available to call, but the error message is showing us that when we added 1 + "1" we got a string of 11. This is part of the coercion behavior that JavaScript has for these types when adding. Now let's change it to use MathJS and see our results.
add = (a, b) ->
 MathJS.add(a, b)
Run our tests and we get:
Math basics
 ✓ input of 1 and 1 should be 2
1 passing (33ms)
Now this example of using MathJS.add is a contrived example but does demonstrate that MathJS has cleared up our worries of unwanted type coercion. If we really wanted to make MathJS.add globally available as add, we simply could have done global.add = MathJS.add. This was merely to demonstrate code structure for writing and using code with TDD.
Now on to MathJS specifics.
MathJS
MathJS is pretty exhaustive in the amount of features it contains, and I will only be highlighting some aspects as they are very well documented. But I feel it is important nonetheless to share and raise awareness of what you can do with MathJS.
# You can simplify mathmatical expressions with
MathJS.simplify('x * y * -x / (x ^ 2)').toString()
# => '-y'
# Find the symbolic derivative of an expression
MathJS.derivative('2x^2 + 3x + 4', 'x').toString()
# => '4 * x + 3'
# Evaluate expressions
MathJS.eval('2 inch to cm')
# => 5.08 cm
You can chain your method calls together.
MathJS.chain(5).multiply(5).add(4).done()
# => 29
You may define your own unit measurements and override existing ones.
math.createUnit('mile', '1609.347218694', {override: true}})
You can choose different types of the number you return, like having a fraction be the return type.
math.config({ number: 'Fraction' })
These are just a small glimpse into what you may do with MathJS.
Some things to keep in mind with MathJS
When you want to perform division with MathJS, it's better to use the fraction methods included with it rather than divide. MathJS has included an entirely separate library just for dealing with fractions, and it's much more accurate in producing desired results.
Also, when you're writing methods that return values after a calculation, there is a MathJS object that's generally returned from many of the methods; you may want to simplify that back down to a number by passing it to MathJS.number.
When writing a function that needs to perform division and return a number with something like 1250 - ((450-98)*37)/5000 where each of those numbers could be variables or parameters, it would look like:
MathJS.number(
 MathJS.subtract(
 1250
 MathJS.fraction(
 MathJS.chain(450).subtract(98).multiply(37).done()
 5000
 )
 )
)
This produces a good decimal number result.
When trying to deal with some quirks, like round-off errors in JavaScript where you add 0.1 + 0.2 and get 0.30000000000000004, even with MathJS.add you need to either format it with precision, use Fractions, or use BigNumbers.
To format it with precision, you would do the following.
number = MathJS.add(0.1, 0.2)
MathJS.format(number, {precision: 14})
# => '0.3'
Note that the format method will return a string type. As long as you continue using MathJS for further calculations on the returned value, there shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise pass it to MathJS.number to convert the string to an integer or float.
Counting to Change
In an example where you would like to calculate the exact coin change from an amount, you could use TDD to invent the process one step at a time. With MathJS's unit conversion feature, you can completely skip writing the implementation and simply define quantity relations of one coin to another.
So a penny will be the smallest unit of 1, and everything else can relate to that. Using the MathJS.createUnit method, we can define all the relations in one go.
MathJS.createUnit({
 'penny':
 aliases: ['pennies']
 'nickel':
 definition: '5 pennies'
 aliases: ['nickels']
 'dime':
 definition: '2 nickels'
 aliases: ['dimes']
 'quarter':
 definition: '5 nickels'
 aliases: ['quarters']
 'halfdollar':
 definition: '2 quarters'
 aliases: ['halfdollars']
 'dollar':
 definition: '4 quarters'
 aliases: ['dollars']
})
With this, we have everything we need to convert a dollar and change amount into the proper coinage. Here's how that looks after the TDD work as demonstrated above — the src/coinCounter.coffee file looks like:
require './app'
#
# The MathJS.createUnit code shown
# above goes here
#
defaultDenoms = -> [
 'dollars'
 'halfdollars'
 'quarters'
 'dimes'
 'nickels'
 'pennies'
]
count_change = (amount, denominations) ->
 denoms = denominations ? defaultDenoms()
 MathJS.
 unit(amount).
 splitUnit(denoms).
 toString()
global.count_change = count_change
And the tests in test/coinCounterTest.coffee to show splitting into coins:
require './testHelper'
require '../src/coinCounter'
describe 'Makes change', ->
 it 'should produce default denominations of change', ->
 expect(
 count_change('831 pennies')
 ) . to . equal '
 8 dollars,\
 0 halfdollars,\
 1 quarters,\
 0 dimes,\
 1 nickels,\
 1 pennies
 '
 it 'can handle specific small change only', ->
 denominations = ['dimes', 'nickels', 'pennies']
 expect(
 count_change('831 pennies', denominations)
 ) . to . equal '
 83 dimes,\
 0 nickels,\
 1 pennies
 '
And with running bin/test, we get all tests passing green.
We didn't need to do any conversion logic of our own — we simply let MathJS take the unit comparisons we gave it and do the work for us.
My only nitpick about the results is that whenever a value of 1 is returned for any denomination, it

Dear France, wrap their bodies in the carcasses of pigs.—
Erick Erickson (_USER_) January 09, 2015
Update from a reader:
Erickson's recommendation is doubly offensive (and doubly dumb) considering that he's actually repurposing a trope of old-timey anti-semitism. As Zaid Jilani points out here, using pork products to taunt those who don't eat them has been a staple of Jew-baiting in Europe for centuries:
In the book Anti-Semitic Stereotypes: A Paradigm of Otherness in English Popular Culture, _PHONE_, the author notes that English schoolboys would taunt Jews with a chant, "Get a bit of pork/Stick it on a fork/And give it to a Jew boy, a Jew." In German culture, there was a popular concept of the "Judensau," depicting Jews suckling from a pig; the bigoted imagery was so common it was even placed on churches to keep Jews away. Pope Leo VII called Jews "pigs," and during the Inquisition, the Spanish Jews were actually called "marrano" referring to a one-year old pig.
I wonder if Erickson realizes just what tradition he's drawing on here. I suspect not.

The 3D Printing Cultural Museum opened earlier this week in Shanghai, China. Since opening festivities kicked off in the Wisdom Bay Industrial Park of Baoshan, Shanghai, the impressive cultural institute has already proved itself a force to be reckoned with. The building includes a permanent exhibition hall, themed exhibition hall, 3D printing materials library, 3D printing research centre, creative gallery, interactive exhibition hall, and image exhibition hall. And that's not even counting the Museum's highly anticipated 3D sky garden and children's activity centre.
Museum officials have stated that they hope the official opening will help spread 3D print culture, enrich public spirit and cultural life, and enhance Baoshan's cultural strength in playing a more active role in the development of China's 3D printing industry. Overall, the total of nine functional spaces housed in the Museum will serve as historical and cultural education and provide specialized cultural experience.
Hexagonal decorative elements are sprinkled throughout the museum in signs, closets, and a variety of other 3D printed items. The six-sided shape was chosen as a representation of the textile manufacturing industry, while alluding to a new type of manufacturing: the molecular structure of polymer synthesis, a basic 3D printed material.
Artistically, the 3D Printing Cultural Museum displays a vast collection of 3D printing technology from various fields of design and application. Metal works of art making use of selective laser melting (SLM) can be viewed alongside 3D printed nylon furniture, 3D printed ceramics, and dazzling 3D printed jewelry in all shapes and sizes.
At the same time, the Museum also seeks to play an educational role, housing a large centre for academic research and scientific research, and a special lecture hall. Additionally, the children's activity centre is located on the 4th floor, encouraging families to experience the sheer fun of learning to 3D print.

Step 7: Designing the Frame
Below is the frame design I chose for the pendulum wave. We now have all the geometry that we need in terms of driven dimensions to design the frame. This is 3rd grade math (addition, subtraction).
From the figure, we see that Leg Height must be
Leg Height = L + c + D/2 + t/2 - W/2 + B/2 - W
or
Leg Height = L + c + D/2 + t/2 - 1.5*W + B/2
where
D is the diameter of the pendulum bob,
t is the arm/rotor/stator thickness,
W is the thickness of the Leg/Width frame supports, and
B is the block height.
For my pendulum wave, I chose the frame beams to have 1"x1" cross sections, so W was 1". I chose each block (B) to be 1.5" in height. This results in:
Leg Height = L + c + D/2 + t/2 - 0.75
For the shorter of the two legs, L is obviously the shortest pendulum length (pendulum #18). For the longer, L corresponds to the longest pendulum (#1).
No explanation needed for the base width:
Base Width = 2*(S+J+t/2+0.5) = 2*(S+J) + t + 1
I chose to use a series of eighteen 0.5"x1"x1.5" blocks to support the pendulums. The nice thing about this is that during construction, each block can be manually adjusted to its required position before being secured. It's a more forgiving approach than trying to cut the entire beam from wood, and looks cooler than using a horizontal beam. With 1"x1" cross-sectional beams, this results in the entire pendulum wave being exactly 20" long, with each short and long leg pair being connected by 18" long beams (1/2"x1"x18" and 1"x1"x18"). The thinner of the two beams backs the release mechanism.
For the pendulums, I chose 1/2" diameter steel balls, giving a 1/2" gap between each pendulum (plenty of clearance).

I love your top view design! How unique! Have you seen this giant version made by the STEAM Carnival & Two Bit Circus? I bet a life-size version of yours would be AMAZING!

How much would you charge to make one of these. my fiancé loves it. Otherwise I'll make a run to hobby lobby and break out the tools.

Very cool release mechanism. I must say though, all that math is making that sponge thing in my head throb.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I was a little worried about posting the math... In hindsight, it might not have been a bad idea to have the last page an appendix of sorts, dedicated solely to math for those interested. I know it's a lot to wade through.

Btw, you can always skip directly to the end for the bill of materials :)
And whos says science isn't fun!
Wow! That is amazing! You must be a genius or something with all of that math stuff, but I think I'll just follow your dimensions. This is a great instructable.
Ha, thanks! The dimensions should get you through. If you wait a couple months, I should have another instructable up detailing construction. However, go ahead and give it a try if you want. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!
Beautiful! That's a great science-on-the-beach exhibit :-)
Why thank you!

Sand might result in a less-than-best viewing surface, however. ;)

Legends describe the Fini as a gigantic, gaping maw, usually filled with grasping tendrils that lash out at any living being to approach.
The Fini is said to spawn hordes of grotesque demons to wreak havoc and spread misery. Some tales go further still, claiming that these demons were once people whom the Fini seduced, consumed and then vomited back onto the land, soulless, to attack their own kin.
In the tales, the Fini would often be defeated by heroes wielding powerful necromancy, but there are also many instances where the story was left unfinished, suggesting that writers of the time were too idle and unprofessional to complete their work.
Since the Fini has not appeared in literature for over a thousand years, it is assumed to be nothing more than religious claptrap, invented in the savage years after the Mist when our ancestors were confused and primitive.

Door / Window Open Sensor with Ajax DoorProtect Plus Black Impact and Tilt Sensor
Ajax DoorProtect Plus wireless magnetic door / window opening sensor with shock and tilt sensor is designed to detect the opening of doors, windows, etc. The sensor responds to opening, changing the angle of inclination and shock (sensitivity level is adjustable). An external wired sensor with contact type NC can be connected to DoorProtect Plus using a remote terminal.
Structurally, the sensor consists of two parts - a magnet and a unit with a reed switch. There are two options for the magnet - for parallel (large magnet) and perpendicular (small magnet) installation. The principle of operation of the opening sensor is based on the properties of the reed switch - an element that can become a conductor under the influence of a magnetic field. In normal condition, the magnet and the reed unit are closed. As soon as the door on which the sensor is installed opens, the magnet moves away from the reed switch, the contacts open and the reed switch ceases to conduct current. When the door is closed, reverse processes occur: the magnet approaches the reed switch, the contacts close and the reed switch begins to conduct current. In both cases, the sensor is triggered and instantly sends an alarm message to the central unit. An English reed switch is installed in the sensor, which does not stick and processes more than a million shorts / openings.
The tilt sensor integrated in the sensor detects the deviation of the device in the vertical plane by more than 5 °. DoorProtect Plus is installed on any window, including dormers. Its presence allows you to arm the system when the windows are open for ventilation (it is necessary to disable the magnetic sensor in the settings).
The sensor is equipped with an effective wireless radio communication system that uses message encryption and protection against forgery and jamming. This provides excellent security for alarms from hacking attempts. In addition, the sensor has an ultramodern highly reliable communication system that allows it to operate successfully within several floors of the building or at a distance of up to 1000 m in an open area from the central alarm unit.
The DoorProtect Plus sensor works only with the Ajax security system hub; connection to third-party security systems via the uartBridge or ocBridge Plus modules is not provided.
Magnet power is enough to install sensor modules with a mixture of up to 2 cm, so this wireless opening sensor can be used to protect any object: from apartments to industrial premises. An advantage of the sensor is its convenient and extremely easy independent installation using smart mounts; for installation, the user does not need to disassemble the case.
The sensor is easy to install and configure without special knowledge;
Mounting the sensor using smart mounts is convenient and will not damage the repair;
The sensor regularly transmits test signals to the central unit, and the polling period of the sensors can be adjusted at your own discretion. If the sensor is attempted to be stolen or broken, the central security system will immediately know about it and will give an alarm;
For reliable control of the alarm operation, the sensor regularly transmits a signal about the discharge of its battery to the central unit, the user will be notified in a timely manner of the need to replace the battery in the sensor;
The information transmitted by the sensor is protected from interception and attempted substitution;
The maximum distance between the sensor and the central unit is 1000 m in direct visibility;
The sensor uses a general-purpose frequency of 868 MHz for signal transmission, which does not require a license for use;
Adaptive adjustment of the transmission power, depending on the distance to the central unit, allows you to consume less battery power;
The threshold of the sensor reed switch is 2 cm (large magnet) / 1 cm (small magnet);
Adjustable tilt sensor threshold - more than 5 °;
Adjustable shock sensitivity (3 levels);
The function of skipping the first blow;
Implemented the ability to connect an additional wire sensor to the terminal block;
Sensor housing protected by tamper;
Thanks to a special energy-saving algorithm, the sensor runs on a CR123A battery for up to 5 years.

We report that the oxidation of graphene-based highly transparent conductive layers to AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN ultra-violet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was suppressed by the use of SiN X passivation layers. Although graphene is considered to be an ideal candidate as the transparent conductive layer to UV-LEDs, oxidation of these layers at high operating temperatures has been an issue. The oxidation is initiated at the un-saturated carbon atoms at the edges of the graphene and reduces the UV light intensity and degrades the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The oxidation also can occur at defects, including vacancies. However, GaN-based UV-LEDs deposited with SiN X by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition showed minimal degradation of light output intensity and I-V characteristics because the graphene-based UV transparent conductive layers were shielded from the oxygen molecules. This is a simple and effective approach for maintaining the advantages of graphene conducting layers as electrodes on UV-LEDs.

Prediction Of Sugar Yield From Sugar Cane Using Process Modeling
A study was undertaken to developed a model that will be used to predict sugar and the by-products from sugar cane. The model developed from MATLAB was used to predict the sugar, bagasse, filter cake and molasses yield from sugar cane. The predicted values from the model were compared to yield data obtained from the production of sugar cane from the Savannah Sugar Company, Numan, Nigeria for 90 days. The analysis gof variance (ANOVA) at p ≤ 0.01 was used to determine if there were significant difference in the yield predicted by the model and the measured factory yield. The F-LSD at p ≤ 0.01 was used to separate the means. The model is validated where there was no significant difference between its predicted yield and the factory-obtained yield. The sugar cane input of 2,150.52 MT was obtained from the Savannah Sugar factory. The corresponding imbibitions water pumped into the mixed juice was 673.12 MT. The predicted sugar, bagasse, molasses and filter cake yield using the MATLAB model was 279.5MT (13%), 1,049.46MT(48%), 111.828MT(5.2%) and 101.1MT(4.7%) respectively. The ANOVA showed that there was no significant difference between the MATLAB model and the factory-based model. It is concluded that the ANOVA validated MATLAB model for sugar yield prediction. Consequently, this model is recommended for use in predicting sugar and by-products yields from sugar cane. Statistical analysis using the F-LSD showed that the model satisfied such an invariant confidence in the model, and provided support for its validity.


NEWTON — As courthouses and city halls close, there is a logistical problem that arises for governmental boards — just how does the county commission or city council meet?
And, just as important, how do its members host a public meeting and comply with the Kansas Open Meetings Act?
Guidance from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and an executive order from Gov. Laura Kelly, limits the number of people in one place at one time to 10. Social distancing guidelines ask those people to stay at least 6 feet apart.
According to Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, the Kansas Open Meetings Act requires public bodies to be "open to the public." Ordinarily, that requirement is met by allowing members of the public to enter the room where the meeting is taking place so they can listen and observe.
The answer to the problem of public governmental guidelines is popping up in meeting notices and agendas. Now appearing are internet links for video conferencing and phone numbers for voice conferences.
For some area government bodies, this is nothing really new. The McPherson City Commission has posted video of its meetings to YouTube, while the Newton USD 373 board of education started streaming live to Facebook on its own earlier this year.
The Harvey County Commission hosted its first online stream this week, making use of the service Zoom to provide video and telephone access. The commission met in the basement of the courthouse as the meeting was streamed.
Under new guidelines issued by the state, each entity will notify the public of the internet location of the meeting during the meeting notification process.
The attorney general's office has proposed formal rules for state and local governments to ensure their meetings remain open to the public during "social distancing" emergency restrictions on gathering in person. Basically, those new rules require for broadcast of the meeting, preferably with video, on either television of the internet or by audio by telephone conferencing.
"During a time of declared emergency when lives are disrupted, many people are apprehensive, and rumors can run rampant, the importance of ensuring openness and transparency in the government decision-making process is even greater than usual," Schmidt said. "An important way for public bodies to provide reassurance is to go the extra mile to ensure their actions are transparent during the time of emergency.
"This new guidance will help state and local government bodies throughout Kansas operate transparently even when the public cannot gather in person for meetings."

LGMHD11 251x300 The 7 Destructive Habits of Unsuccessful People Words to Live by
By Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan
WARNING! If you want to have a fantastic life, NEVER engage yourself in these 7 Destructive Habits.
HABIT #1- Unsuccessful People Think, Say, & Do Negative Things
Unsuccessful people continue to fail at everything they do because they see problems in every opportunity. They complain that the sun is too hot. They cursed the rain for ruining their plans for the day. They blame the wind for ruining their hair. They think that everyone is against them. They see the problems but never the solutions.
HABIT #2- Unsuccessful People Act Before They Think
They move based on impulse. They desire immediate gratification in every situation. If they see something they like, they buy it without any second thought. Then they see something better and regret their impulsive purchases. They get into impulsive relationships that usually end in disaster. They don't think about the future and they don't think about the consequences.
HABIT #3- Unsuccessful People Talk Much More Than They Listen
They want to be the star of the show. They always engage in conversation and say things that will make them seem important, even to the point of lying. Oftentimes they are not aware that what they're saying makes no sense. When other people advise them, they close their ears because they would rather die than admit their mistakes. In their mind they're always right. They reject suggestions or help from others because it makes them feel inferior.
HABIT #4- Unsuccessful People Give Up Easily
Successful people treat failures as stepping stones to success. Those who seldom succeed usually call it quits upon recognizing the first signs of failure. At first, they are excited to start a new endeavor, but then they lose interest fairly quickly, especially when they encounter obstacles. Then they go and search for a new goal, business, career or relationship and get the same results. People who consistently fail don't have the persistence to wok though their problems and obstacles to fulfill their dreams.
HABIT #5- Unsuccessful People Try To Bring Others Down To Their Level
Unsuccessful people envy other people who are successful. Instead of working hard to be like them, they spread rumors and try every dirty trick in the book to bring them down. They could have asked these successful people for help to succeed, but no, they're too proud. They don't want to ask for advice. When they get good advice they won't follow it.
HABIT #6- Unsuccessful People Waste Their Time
They don't know what to do next. They often eat too much, drink too much, watch TV and sports for hours or worse, have no thoughts whatsoever about what direction their life is going. Most of their time is spent on instant gratification and they avoid thinking about and proving the quality of their life.
HABIT # 7- Unsuccessful People Take The Easy Way Out
If there are two roads to choose from, unsuccessful people will choose the wider road with less reward now than the narrower road with much greater reward in the future.
They avoid anything that may cause temporary hardship. They want an easy life. What these people don't know is that what you reap is what you sow. Efforts and action will not go unnoticed. If only they would be willing to sacrifice a little, they would gain a lot more.
Successful people reach their goals, dreams and desires through trial and error. They never give up. They do what it takes to create what they desire.
What is the solution to these 7 Destructive Habits? That's Easy!
Just do the reverse. Success is not difficult. All it takes to succeed is to discover what unsuccessful people doand then just do the opposite. You are virtually guaranteed to succeed!

Chairman Scott Praises Support for Nutrition Assistance in the American Families Plan
WASHINGTON – Chairman Robert C. "Bobby" Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement after President Biden released his American Families Plan, which proposes strengthening nutrition assistance programs for families and expanding children's access to healthy school meals.
"The American Families Plan makes a historic investment in preventing child hunger, supporting struggling families, and unlocking the potential of young people across the country. I applaud President Biden for releasing a plan that acknowledges and confronts the enormous moral and economic cost of child hunger, which has surged as a result of the pandemic.
"The Biden plan proposes a permanent expansion of the Summer EBT program, which is proven to lower rates of food insecurity during the summer months when students do not have access to school meals. It also calls for a major expansion of eligibility for free school meals that would give more than 9 million additional children access to nutritious food every school day. Decades of research that demonstrate profound benefits of freeing children from the terrible burden of wondering where their next meal will come from.
"I look forward to advancing the president's plan to address our nation's child hunger crisis and ensure that all families can put food on the table."

Field Trip - Flagstaff Middle School Pond
At the Flagstaff Middle School pond, students get their first outdoors hands-on practice at water quality testing. The students were instructed to follow protocols set by the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE). GLOBE is an international network of scientists, educators and students conducting scientific research.
Within view of the San Francisco Peaks, students listened to hydrologist, Dr Aregai Tecle, speak about the importance of hydrology. Dr Tecle covered topics ranging from our dry southwestern climate, declining water supplies in underground aquifers and the need to be conscious of our own water use. He also addressed these topics to get students to think more about a college education and careers in hydrology. With a degree in hydrology students will be able to return their communities in order to address their environmental problems.
Dr. Tecle was very excited to be working with Summer Scholars because as a hydrologist, he is concerned about the future of our water resources.
"Here, it is the scientific method they are learning…to engross their interest in academics, that way they have something to aspire for," Tecle said.
Students used this field trip to practice the water quality protocols: temperature, pH, conductivity, turbidity and dissolved oxygen (DO).

There are many types of coaters, each of which works differently, so it should be considered when selecting materials. Banners coating machinery is just one of them.
However, when designing a banner coater, the selection of materials is also critical, and some need to design anti-wear structures or select wear-resistant materials.
Because the thermal conductivity of stainless steel is significantly lower than that of carbon steel, in the banners coating machinery based on conduction heat transfer, if stainless steel is selected as the main material, the heat transfer area of the equipment should be the thermal conductivity of stainless steel.
Selecting materials for the equipment installation environment, in many cases, although the above conditions can meet the requirements, also pay attention to the material requirements of the equipment installation environment.
When the banners coating machinery is produced, firstly, the guide rollers of the substrate are installed in the direction of the wire, and the adhesive is adjusted proportionally, and the heating system of the oven is started. When the corresponding set temperature is reached, the drive motor is turned on,can be opened for coating production.
The substrate of the unwinding device is first subjected to an anilox roller, after being coated with a glue, and then subjected to a dry bath through a drying tunnel to complete the coating process.

Modelling of Wind AtlasThe Wind Atlas of Finland is based on a combination of the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model AROME and the statistical WAsP model that is commonly used in wind atlas applications. Both models are actively utilised at the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI).
NWP models, HIRLAM and AROME, are dynamical forecast models that describe atmospheric physics as accurately as possible for weather forecasting purposes. The statistical WAsP model modifies the wind time series produced by AROME in order to generate a climatological description of wind conditions. WAsP takes into account the effects of local roughness and topography.
The base material contains 48 months of weather model simulations where the winds and other variables are calculated for grid boxes 2.5 x 2.5 km2 in size. The results of the weather model are then post-processed for 250 x 250 m2 grid boxes in predefined areas by using the WAsP model.
In addition, the AROME model was used for simulating 24 extra months, 12 representing a year with strong winds and 12 representing a year with weak wind conditions. The Wind Atlas itself does not take these periods into account, although tables of dynamical map products present the results of the extra months as separate values. This data set is calculated only for 2.5 x 2.5 km2 grid boxes.
All the wind atlas periods were simulated by AROME in 6-hour sequences, storing the atmospheric state after 3 and 6 hours of simulation. The initial state of each 6-hour sub-period and the required boundary conditions were produced by using weather observations. The FMI's weather prediction model HIRLAM was used for this analysis process. The computational domain of HIRLAM covered Northern Europe, with grid spacing of 7.5 km. The data required at the edge of the HIRLAM model was taken from the ERA-Interim reanalysis produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). ERA-Interim data cover the entire globe, with grid spacing of 80 km.
Wind information from 50 to 400 metresThe Wind Atlas includes monthly wind statistics and estimates of wind energy production (MWh) for three different windmill types (capacities of 1, 3 and 5 MW). These values are given for seven height levels: 50 m, 75 m, 100 m, 125 m, 150 m, 200 m and 400 m, and for a total of 63 550 points each representing an area of 2.5 x 2.5 km2. The mean wind speed is also given for grid boxes of 250 x 250 m2 for archipelago, fjeld and coastal regions as well as for selected land regions. These values are processed from wind information produced by AROME, using mesoscale Lib-software and the WAsP model.
The wind information shown in the Wind Atlas represents the mean monthly and annual wind conditions over the last 50 years. The wind conditions of an individual year may deviate considerably from the mean conditions. Furthermore, the actual wind conditions during the lifetime of a windmill may differ from the mean conditions presented in the Wind Atlas. The values of the Wind Atlas do not take the possible effect of climate change into account. However, this effect is described in other sections of the Wind Atlas manual.

Over 14 tons of glass collected during Recycle Glass
The Glass Packaging Institute's (GPI) 2009 Recycle Glass
Week proved a success, with glass container manufacturers,
including Anchor Glass, O-I, Rocky Mountain Bottle Company
(RMBC), and Saint-Gobain Containers, Inc., collecting
over 14 tons of glass bottles, and counting, for recycling,
through events at their plants and in local communities.
The energy saved from the recycled glass collected is
equivalent to planting 128 trees.
In all, over 50 educational activities and public events
in 22 states were held during the week, building awareness
for glass bottle recycling across the United States.
Two events, in Colorado and Indiana, also lead to permanent
collection locations for glass container recycling.
Doubling the United States glass container recycling
rate (28 percent in 2007) would allow manufacturers to
use 50 percent recycled glass to make new glass containers,
saving enough energy to power 21,978 homes for one year
and removing 181,550 tons of waste from landfills every
During Recycle Glass Week, GPI also recognized seven
'Friends of Glass,' honoring those making significant
and innovative efforts to promote or participate in glass

The Rain-shadow Effect
Sheltered by mountains
by Philip Eden
"Rain shadow" is a phrase often used by meteorologists in their day-to-day work, and is occasionally mentioned by television weather forecasters. Some may regard it as a solecism, but it well describes the phenomenon whereby much less rain falls on the lee side of a mountain range compared with the windward side. Last week produced one of the best examples of the rain-shadow effect we have seen in the UK in recent years thanks to a persistent southwesterly airflow.
Things are very different on the leeward side of the mountains. The air-mass has now lost much of its moisture, and as the winds descend the lee slope the air becomes denser again, and therefore warmer. As it warms up its capacity to hold moisture increases again, thus it is no longer saturated. The mechanism which produced the persistent rain on the windward slope is now switched off, the rain stops, and the clouds dissipate.
Last week's rain shadow effect (see plot above) was very prominent in the shelter of the Scottish Highlands. During the week ending 0600 on Saturday (Jan 19) almost 100mm of rain was recorded in the Strath of Orchy in Argyllshire and an estimated 150mm fell in the upper parts of nearby Glen Strae and Glen Kinglass. By contrast no measurable rain at all fell at Kinloss in Morayshire, and only 2mm at Aberdeen. The effect was also well illustrated in northern England where Shap in Cumbria recorded 83mm of rain compared with 4mm at Newcastle, and also in Wales and the Midlands with 96mm at Capel Curig in Snowdonia but only 2mm at several sites in the Midlands.

The Integrated Crop Pollination Project has released the summary report from its 2015 survey of Florida blueberry growers' pollination practices. Earlier this month, the project team published the summary from a parallel survey of Michigan blueberry growers.
The survey of 69 blueberry growers in five Florida counties (Alachua, Jackson, Lake, Marion, and Polk) delved into growers' goals for pollination management, networks of information sources about pollination, and past, current, and potential future practices related to managing and supporting pollinators on blueberry farms.
Relative to Michigan blueberry growers, Florida growers were slightly less likely to report using managed honey bees for pollination (61% of Florida growers buy, rent, or own managed honey bees, compared with 79% of Michigan growers). However, Florida blueberry growers reported more widespread use of managed bumble bees for pollination, both alone and in combination with honey bees, than Michigan growers.
Just over half of Florida blueberry growers reported using reduced-risk pesticide practices to help protect pollinators. By comparison, the previous summary report from Michigan blueberry indicated extensive adoption of practices that minimize the risk of pesticides to bees, with over 90% of surveyed Michigan blueberry growers reporting changing the timing of pesticide and fungicide applications to minimize the risk to bees (e.g. spraying at night) and choosing active ingredients with less toxicity to bees.
The research team will be conducting a follow-up survey in winter 2016-2017 in Florida and other states surveyed in 2015 (including Michigan, Oregon, and California) to continue learning about pollination management practices.

Carbon Film Types of Fossils
Carbon Film Types of Fossils
-•• Atypeek/iStock/GettyImages
Fossils are any artifacts that reveal evidence of a past living thing preserved by the Earth's crust. The four main types of fossils are trace fossils, petrified fossils, molds and casts and carbon film. Most fossils contain a small amount of carbon, but carbon film fossils are primarily composed of carbon.
Formation
Every living thing contains carbon. When an organism dies or a leaf falls, it sinks into the earth's layers and decomposes. A carbon film is made when the oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen of the organism disappear, leaving a thin layer of carbon. This process is known as distillation or carbonization. If the layer of carbon is on a viable surface, usually under a body of water, an imprint of the organism will remain.
Look
Carbon film fossils are usually black, dark brown or light brown in color, depending on the type of rock they are pressed upon. Unlike trace fossils, molds and casts, which form a three-dimensional shape of the object or organism, carbon film fossils are two-dimensional, like a drawing. They preserve an enormous amount of detail, such as the leaves and veins of a plant. Sometimes cells of the plant are even visible if the cells were filled with water.
Organisms
Carbon film fossils normally depict fish, crustaceans and plants. When the fish or crustaceans died, their bodies most likely sank to bottom of the body of water, were carried by the current and got wedged between or under rocks. This preserved their bodies from prey and destruction by the current. The plants preserved are commonly water-dwelling.
Carbon Dating
Due to the presence of carbon-14, carbon film fossils are relatively easy for scientists to date. Plants absorb carbon-14 from the air, and animals consume it when they eat plant life. At the moment of a plant or animal's death, the carbon-14 begins to decay. The half-life, or amount of time it takes for the number of atoms in any given sample to be reduced by half, is 5,700 years. Scientists are able to test the remaining carbon-14 in the carbon film fossil to determine its age.

My Community, My Neighborhood
Geographic focus: India / Calcutta
Date completed: 2002
Neighborhoods must be organized with care if they are to urbanize smoothly. Sourjya Mukherjee, a student from Calcutta, India, created a land use map of her neighborhood and described threats to standards of living there (garbage in the streets, flooding due to drains being clogged, open drains that breed mosquitoes, lack of a library or clean playground, etc). Sourjya proposed several solutions to these problems, including stricter enforcement of laws, public awareness campaigns, and better cooperation among neighbors.

The servo channel of a tape system is the signal processing unit that derives essential servo parameters, such as tape velocity, lateral head position, and longitudinal tape position from patterns that are written onto tape during manufacturing time. These so-called timing-based servo (TBS) patterns form dedicated servo bands that straddle the data bands. For instance, in current LTO drives, five servo bands straddle four data bands. The TBS technology was developed in the mid-1990s for linear tape drives and has been adopted as LTO standard.
In TBS systems, recorded patterns to aid track-following servo consist of transitions with two different azimuthal slopes, as shown in Figure 1. The head lateral position and the tape velocity are derived from the relative timing of pulses generated by a servo reader reading the pattern. TBS patterns also enable the encoding of longitudinal position (LPOS) information by shifting transitions from their nominal position using pulse-position modulation.
Figure 1. TBS servo pattern used in LTO1-LTO6.
Significant track density increases will be required to keep scaling tape cartridge capacity. Therefore a high-performance servo channel is essential that allows head positioning with nanometer precision. Another important parameter that depends on the capabilities of the servo channel is the access time to data, which includes loading and mounting the tape into the drive, and the spooling of the tape to the target position. To reduce the access time, the servo system must support proper operation during tape acceleration and deceleration, and at very high tape velocities.
We addressed the above challenges by introducing a synchronous servo channel architecture [2012-10, 2009-1, 2009-8], which is depicted in Figure 2. The new servo channel improves the tape drive performance and reliability and enables the scaling towards multi-terabyte tape cartridge capacities. It represents a major improvement over the legacy TBS servo channel because of its novel timing-recovery concept and optimum servo channel parameter estimation based on adaptive matched filtering. The performance of the new synchronous servo channel has been exploited in our tape areal density demonstration of 29.5 Gb/in2 on BaFe media. In a more recent technical demonstration, the servo channel was key to achieve a track-following performance with a standard deviation of the position-error signal of less than 14 nm.
Advanced tape drive functions are being developed where multiple servo channels operating in parallel are utilized [2012-8, 2012-9, 2012-4]. These functions include the initial fast positioning of the head module, which aims at properly aligning two servo readers over adjacent servo bands, the estimation of the tape-to-head skew for dynamic skew compensation, and the estimation of tape velocity and tension for improved tape transport.

A Beginner's Guide to Using Lodash with Angular
Step 1: Install Lodash
The first step is to install Lodash. You can install Lodash using npm. Open your terminal and type the following command:
npm install --save lodash
Step 2: Import Lodash
After installing Lodash, you need to import it into your Angular project. You can import Lodash in your component file or in your AppModule file. Here is an example:
import * as _ from 'lodash'; // Import Lodash
Step 3: Use Lodash
Once you have imported Lodash, you can start using its functions in your Angular application. Here is an example of how to use the
const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; const squaredNumbers = _.map(numbers, (number) => number * number); console.log(squaredNumbers); // [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
In the above example, we used the
_.map() function to square each number in the array.
Lodash is a powerful utility library that can simplify your code and make it more readable. By following the above steps, you can easily use Lodash with your Angular application. Happy coding!
10 Ways to Simplify Your Angular Code with Lodash

By using Lodash in your Angular app, you can simplify your code and make it more readable. With these ten tips, you can start using Lodash to make your code more efficient today!
Why Lodash is the Perfect Complement to Angular
When it comes to building Angular applications, Lodash can be a valuable complement to the framework. Here's why:
- Provides utility functions for data manipulation: Lodash provides a wide range of utility functions that can help you manipulate data easily. Some of the most commonly used functions include
- Improves code readability: By using Lodash, you can write more concise and readable code. Since Lodash functions are named clearly and are easy to understand, your code will be more maintainable and easier for other developers to read and work with.
- Optimizes application performance: Lodash is designed to be efficient and high-performing. By using Lodash functions instead of writing your own code, you can reduce the amount of code you need to write, improve the performance of your application, and reduce the risk of bugs.
Overall, Lodash is an excellent complement to Angular. It can help you write more efficient, readable, and maintainable code, while also improving the performance of your application.
Using Lodash to Improve Performance in Angular Applications
Another useful feature of Lodash is its support for method chaining. Method chaining allows you to string together several operations on a collection or object to perform complex manipulations in a single line. This results in efficient, readable, and concise code that is easy to debug.
Lodash also includes a number of utility functions that can help you simplify other common tasks in your Angular application. For example, it provides methods to deep clone objects, merge objects, generate unique IDs, and perform various math operations.
In conclusion, Lodash is a powerful toolkit that can help you achieve better performance, cleaner code, and more efficient development in your Angular applications. By leveraging this library, you can streamline your coding process and ensure that your application runs smoothly, even when working with large data sets.
Streamlining Your Angular Workflow with Lodash
In an Angular project, you can easily add Lodash to your workflow by installing it as a dependency and importing the functions you need. Here are a few examples of how Lodash can help you streamline your Angular code:
- Use the
_.mapfunction to transform data arrays into a different format.
- Use the
_.filterfunction to search for specific items in an array.
- Use the
_.orderByfunction to sort arrays by specific criteria.
- Use the
_.groupByfunction to group data by specific properties.
These are just a few examples of the many ways that Lodash can help you write more efficient and maintainable code in your Angular projects. So if you haven't already, consider adding Lodash to your toolbox and see how it can improve your workflow.
How Lodash can Help You Handle Data and Arrays in Angular
In Angular, dealing with data and arrays is a common task. It involves numerous efforts and is susceptible to bugs if not handled accurately. Fortunately, Lodash makes it easier to manipulate data and arrays in Angular.
Here are a few ways Lodash can help you with data and arrays in Angular:
- Manipulating Arrays: Lodash provides an extensive range of functions to work with arrays, such as finding elements, transforming them, filtering them, and more.
- Working with Objects: Lodash also provides several useful functions for working with objects, such as finding keys, values, merging objects, and more.
- Deep Cloning: Lodash's deep clone method can help you create a complete, deep copy of an object or an array and avoid any accidental reference to the original object.
Lodash can also help you deal with complex data structures and nested lists in Angular.
Using Lodash with Angular is a piece of cake: you only have to install it and import the required module into your Angular component. Once you do that, you can start using any of these functions in your code right away.
To sum up, Lodash can save you considerable development time and effort when dealing with data and arrays in Angular. Additionally, its intuitive interface makes it easy to use, and its extensive documentation is a bonus for newcomers.
8 Lodash Functions Every Angular Developer Should Know
As an Angular developer, you will often work with arrays, objects, and other complex data types. In such cases, Lodash can come in handy with its utility functions that simplify your code and make it more efficient. Here are eight Lodash functions that every Angular developer should know:
1. map(): This function creates an array of values by running each element in the input array through a callback function.
2. filter(): This function creates an array of elements from the input array that satisfy a given condition based on a callback function.
3. reduce(): This function reduces an array to a single value by iterating over its elements and applying a callback function that accumulates the values.
4. clone(): This function creates a shallow clone of an object or array, meaning it copies the values of the original object into a new object with the same structure.
5. merge(): This function merges two or more objects into a single object, with the property values from later objects overwriting those from earlier ones.
6. debounce(): This function limits the rate at which a function can be called to prevent it from being called too frequently, which can cause performance issues.
7. throttle(): This function limits the rate at which a function can be called by postponing subsequent calls until after a certain amount of time has elapsed since the last call.
8. shuffle(): This function shuffles the elements of an array in a random order, which can be useful for randomizing data or creating a game.
By using these Lodash functions, you can make your Angular code more efficient, readable, and maintainable.

Pacific trillium is plant 20 to 40 cm tall. Leaves are verticillate. Unbranched stem bears only one flower. The flower is regular, with three petals, 25 to 50 mm in diameter, white, later pinking. Pacific trillium blossoms from late March to June. It grows in half-shade, in moist forests and wetlands, in altitude up to 2100 m. It ranges in southwest Canada, Washington, the Coast Ranges up to southern California, northeast Oregon, western Montana, around headwaters of the North Platte River, along Sweetwater River, and in the Rattlesnake Range of central Wyoming.
Rhizomes of Pacific trillium were used during childbirth (Tallbull 1993: 55).

Android uses the Linux kernel instead of some "Android kernel", so why is ext3 not supported on Android 2.3?
1 Answer 1
8
The filesystem support is device-specific, and in fact many devices using Android 2.3 support ext3 in the kernel (or ext4, which can also mount ext3 and ext2 filesystems).
Usually the difference in filesystem support is due to different hardware. Older devices often used raw NAND flash chips and MTD drivers in Linux, which did not support conventional filesystems such as ext4; only special filesystems such as YAFFS or JFFS2 could be used on such devices. In this case having ext3 or ext4 support in the kernel was not necessary, and it could be omitted to save some memory; to get ext3/4 support on such device you will need to flash a custom kernel (or, in some cases, an external module could be compiled instead of replacing the whole kernel).
More recent devices usually use eMMC storage, which provides a block device instead of raw flash; such devices mostly use ext4 for their filesystems, and therefore should have support for mounting ext3 filesystems (although actually using it to mount a custom filesystem, e.g., on a separate SD card partition, will require root access).

The Report Card for Student Success is the strategic plan for the Peel District School Board, based on a proven, research-based methodology called the balanced scorecard. Its power is in using data to transform our strategic plan into action. It demonstrates the cause-and-effect relationship between our actions and what we're trying to achieve—is what we are doing having a direct impact on what we are trying to achieve?
The Report Card for Student Success shows us whether our actions are having an impact, because each goal clearly sets out targets for improvement. On this website, visitors will find:
- the status of each of our goals—are we on target for each goal
- trend data showing our progress on achieving each target
- detailed plans for each project
- archived information of previous projects
- more information about the balanced scorecard
There are eight goals in the strategic plan. The goals represent the most important areas of focus for our board. We developed our goals based on broad consultation with and consensus from all of our stakeholders.
Each goal also has an indicator—how we will measure our performance on that goal, compared to our expected results. Each indicator is carefully chosen because it is a representative measure that will give us a reliable indication of how well we are achieving the intended outcomes for each goal.
To go with each indicator is a target—our desired level of performance on that indicator. Before deciding on each target, the board collected and analyzed baseline data for six months. Then we developed our targets by considering what would be a reasonable, attainable level of progress in a three-year period.
For each goal, we deliberately chose specific projects that we believe will have greatest impact on the outcome we are trying to achieve. By aligning and focusing the work at all levels of the board, we can harness the energy of the whole board to achieve our goals. Projects have clear time lines for their start and completion, and they are regularly reviewed.
With the indicators and targets, we can demonstrate our progress over time. For each goal, we can show whether we are on target, above target or below.

Jio Plant Information
Jio grows in the following 7 states:Georgia, North Carolina, California, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Virginia
In China it is used as a medicinal herb that is said to have diuretic, febrifugal and anti-inflammatory effects, while in Pakistan it is used to cure swellings of the skin, leprosy and as a laxative.In both it native range and areas where it has been introduced it is usually considered a weed, sometimes a serious one. In the United States it has been placed on the Federal Noxious Weed List. It is considered a moderate weed of rice cultivation in Asia. In its native range of sub-Saharan Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and much of Southeast Asia, it is considered a serious weed of an enormous range of crops from tea and coffee to cassava and peanuts. Additional agricultural damage is caused by the fact that it can host the nematode Meloidogyne incognita and the Groundnut rosette virus.Commelina benghalensis, commonly known as the Benghal dayflower, tropical spiderwort, or wandering Jew,kanshira in Bengali, is a perennial herb native to tropical Asia and Africa. It has been widely introduced to areas outside its native range, including to the neotropics, Hawaii, the West Indies and to both coasts of North America. It flowers from spring into the fall and is often associated with disturbed soils.
Commelina benghalensis is a wide-ranging plant, being native to tropical and subtropical Asia and Africa, an area otherwise known as the paleotropics. In China it is commonly associated with wet locations. There it can be found from near sea level up to 2300 metres. It is present from the provinces of Hebei and Shandong in the northeast, west to Sichuan and in all provinces south to Hainan, the southernmost province. It is also found in Taiwan. In Japan the plant is restricted to the southern portions of the country from the southern Kanto Region westward and including the islands of Shikoku and Kysh. Although its roots and tubers are used as a food source, C. benghalensis is not cultivated in Ethiopia, where it grows as a weed.
The plant has also been widely introduced beyond its range to the neotropics, the southeastern United States, California, Hawaii, Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Montserrat, Barbados and St Vincent. In Puerto Rico the plant is known from a single collection from Cayey. In the southeastern United States the plant was collected in the 1928, while it was first collected in Hawaii in 1909. In the southeastern states it is present in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and North Carolina and spreading. It was added to the Federal Noxious Weed List in 1983, and by 2003 was considered the most serious pest of Georgia's cotton crop due to widely used herbicides such as glyphosate having little effect on it. It was introduced separately to California in the 1980s, making it the only introduced species of Commelina in the western United States. It is associated with disturbed soils such as yards, lawns and cultivated areas, especially in cotton crops and orange groves.
In China, the plant is used medicinally as a diuretic, febrifuge and anti-inflammatory. In Pakistan it is used as animal fodder and also eaten by humans as a vegetable. It is also used there medicinally, but with different purported effects, including as a laxative and to cure inflammations of the skin as well as leprosy. The people of Nepal eat the young leaves as a vegetable, use a paste derived from the plant to treat burns, and treat indigestion with a juice produced from the roots. Its use as a famine food in India has been recorded. In southeast Asia and Africa it is used as fodder and also medicinally as a poultice.

Clrmamepro (cmpro) Tutorial - Part 1
I use cmpro (clrmamepro) almost everyday. I can't say I know everything about this rom manager, but I guess my knowledge is good enough for daily work. From time to time people ask me how to scan roms, rebuild or update sets and usually if I'm not busy I try to write back and explain it as good as I can. So to save some time I'm going to show you how to use the basic functions of cmpro.
Before you start to read this tutorial and mess with your roms, please make sure you have read the cmpro documentation included in the docs directory. A backup of your ROMs would be a good idea.
Let's start from something simple. You have a directory full of Atari - Lynx ROMs and you want to check it against the No-Intro Atari - Lynx DAT.
1. Start cmpro. You will see a Profiler window:
 2. Go to the No-Intro project website and download Atari - Lynx DAT file. You also need the header file for this set. Just click the asterisk icon (right side) to get it:
Unzip the header file into the headers directory. Unzip and simply drag the DAT file into the Profiler window. You will see another window asking where do you want to put the dat. You can press OK to put it in the PROFILES category or create a new directory (category). Let's create a new one to separate all No-Intro DATs from the rest. Press Create Dir, enter the name (No-Intro) and press OK.
3.Another window will appear. Select the No-Intro Directory as a destination for your DAT file and press OK.
4. New folder will appear in the folder list on the left side of the profiler. That's the place where all new DATs goes:
5. Double click on the Atari - Lynx profile (No-Intro\Atari - Lynx). You'll get another window, press Default:
6. Enable the header support:
7. Enter the Settings section and set the ROM-Paths. This is the place where you keep your Atari - Lynx ROMs:
8. Close the Settings window and open Scanner. You will see two windows: Scanner window and Scan Resoults (logs) window.
9. Before you press the New Scan... button, go to Hash & CHD... and select options according to the screen below:
10 Close the Hash & CHD...window and enable all fix options:
11. You can press New Scan... button now and watch the log window. If any error occur you will be asked if you want to get it fixed e.g. wrong name or case:
When the scan is finished you'll see a Statistics window:
In this case there is no missing ROMs. You can scroll down the Statistics to see more details.
If you close all the windows and go back to the profiler you will see some information about every set you have already scanned:
Tomorrow I'm going to show you how to create a fix-DatFile, how to make use of it and how to complete your ROMs collection using cmpro once you have found all the missing files.
If you already know cmpro and think I made a mistake here or something can be done in another way or if you see anything I should change, just leave a comment.
 1. cool, works fine!
 ~running imame4all on ipad2~
 2. How do I play street fighter 3 third strike on mame4droid reloaded(.139). I'm so confused on what to do and how to use this and everything. Please help
 3. How would I go about renaming the roms? I am so lost..I am trying to use Hyperspin but all the SNES roms I have are not named according to Hyperspin so I was trying to use clrmamepro to fix this..
 I thought your guide above was for that but I guess not...

The Gaspésie has fourteen proud witnesses to history, five of which have been given a second life thanks to the judicious interventions of enthusiasts. Thus, these true sentinels of the sea or their outbuildings have been transformed into museums or tourist information offices.
Discover the Matane and La Martre lighthouses, whose beacons have been lighting the way since 1906. The first lighthouse towers above the area and offers a splendid view of the maritime activities, the windmill park and the Chic-Chocs Mountains, and the lightkeeper's house is a museum as well as a tourist information office. The second lighthouse, which remains operational, still has its original clock components, and the building next to it houses the lighthouse museum and its permanent exhibit.
From the top of the 44 stairs of the Cap de la Madeleine lighthouse, the village, the mountains, the barachois, and the mouth of one of the most beautiful salmon rivers reveal themselves before your eyes. The site also offers several services, and has a shop, and a museum. The Pointe-à-la-Renommée lighthouse, renowned for having traveled a lot, stands in a panoramic setting that is quite breathtaking which is also its original home. This historical site was, thanks to Marconi, a strategic communications centre. The beacons of these lighthouses were lit in 1907.
The Cap-des-Rosiers lighthouse, which stands at 34 meters, is the highest lighthouse in Canada, and navigators can always count on its beacon, which was lit in 1858, to find their way. Firmly planted at the entrance of the Forillon National Park of Canada, this fabulous structure was declared a historic monument.
All these witnesses to maritime heritage know how to make their respective history known through various ways. Now it is up to you to take the trail that will lead you to them…
- Métis-sur-Mer, 1951
- Matane, 1906 (Tourist Information Office)
- Cap-Chat, 1909 (Arbres en Jeux)
- La Martre, 1906 (Musée des Phares)
- Cap Madeleine, 1907 (Site du phare)
- Pointe-à-la-Renommée, 1907 (Site historique de Pointe-à-la-Renommée)
- Cap-des-Rosiers, 1907
- Cap Gaspé (Forillon National Park)
- Percé, 1915
- Cap d'Espoir, 1939

UMKC Researchers Make Discovery in Muscle Aging
By Elana Gordon
Kansas City, MO – Scientists have known for some time that as people age, their skeletal muscles become smaller and weaker. But a group of researchers at UMKC say that calcium absorption may be a key part of what causes that muscle deterioration. Their recent findings are being published in the Journal, Aging Cell. Lead researcher, Dr. Marco Brotto, says calcium is needed in order for muscles to contract properly. But he says the group's research on mice shows that even when there's plenty of calcium available, aged muscle cells may not be able to absorb it.
Brotto: It's like, in the muscle cells we have these gates. And they have to open or to close to allow calcium to go inside. So we still have enough calcium outside the cell, but the gate now is closed.
Dr. Brotto says he's now collaborating with researchers from the Mid America Heart Institute to further examine that absorption process in humans. The recent study received funding from the American heart association, UMKC, and the National Institute on Aging.
Funding for health care coverage on KCUR has been provided by the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City.

 Thanks Eric.
 And what does it produce?
 - Java classes on the server?
 - Does it generate Javascript code to display the UI?
 - Or does it generate HTML to display the UI?
 - How is the UI and business logic separated?
 - Is it possible to integrate a WaveMaker project into an existing JEE Project?
 - Or has the WaveMaker project to be the leading one and it's only possible in import jars?

 @Chris
 First, a brief intro to WaveMaker. WaveMaker has two parts: a visual builder that runs in a browser (think of an updated MS Access for the web) and a runtime Java framework that runs in any Java server. The runtime Java framework is licensed under the Apache open source license, so there is no lock-in, you can use WaveMaker to generate your Java project and then open the project in Eclipse, IntelliJ or NetBeans.
 You can create a complete Java web application using WaveMaker with just three mouse clicks:
 - Click 1: import an existing data schema from any jdbc-accessible database. WaveMaker automatically creates an custom enterprise data widget for each table in the schema. At the same time, WaveMaker creates a Hibernate mapping and the Json wiring to connect the Java Hibernate classes to the Javascript enterprise data widgets.
 - Click 2: use the WaveMaker visual builder to drag an enterprise data widget from the palette onto a page. WaveMaker has a "Live Data" capability which lets you see the data for your application within the builder itself.
 - Click 3: press the run button in the WaveMaker visual builder to deploy your application to WaveMaker's built-in Tomcat server. You can also deploy the application as a WAR file to any Java server, as well as edit the WaveMaker project in any Java IDE.
 - WaveMaker Studio was built in WaveMaker, so if you want to know what kind of apps you can build with WaveMaker, it's easy to see! For ISVs, it is also easy to embed WaveMaker Studio within your application, providing a build-in configuration tool for SaaS applications (similar to the Force.com tools for SalesForce).
 You build an app by creating or importing a database schema then connecting it to UI components using drag and drop in the visual builder. Once you define or import a data schema, WaveMaker automatically creates custom enterprise data widgets that can create, read, update and delete information in each table.
 So now, on to your questions:
 And what does it produce?
 - Does WaveMaker produce Java classes on the server? Yes, WaveMaker generates Hibernate classes to perform the object relational mapping automatically, including any views or Hibernate queries you have defined in the visual builder. Wavemaker creates a standard Java project based on Spring/Hibernate - you can edit the project in any Java IDE
 - Does WaveMaker generate Javascript code to display the UI? Yes, WaveMaker uses the Dojo library for widgets and generates the Javascript needed for the UI. Just as with the server, you are free to add your own custom Javascript as well.
 - Does WaveMaker generate HTML to display the UI? WaveMaker generates a complete web app, including the index.html page, but most of the UI work is done with JavaScript. You can add custom html and css styling to the project.
 - How is the UI and business logic separated? WaveMaker uses the MVC architecture to separate UI and business logic. Business logic lives on the server as Java code. UI is mostly defined using the visual builder, but you can add custom Javascript in the client as well to give maximum UI flexibility.
 - Is it possible to integrate a WaveMaker project into an existing JEE Project? Yes, WaveMaker has an advanced feature called Pluggable Service Types that allows a developer to use WaveMaker as a visual GUI builder for existing JEE applications
 - Does WaveMaker project only import jars? WaveMaker supports importing both Jars or just Plain Old Java Objects
 - One of the reasons we are reaching out to the JavaRanch community is to better understand how Java developers can use WaveMaker to accelerate their development of Java app. At a minimum, WaveMaker is a fast way to create your Hibernate data binding. Alternately, it can also be an easy way to create a rich internet UI without having to do a lot of Javascript programming.

Abstract
This paper presents a heartwave based authentication method that utilizes an ensemble of deep belief networks (DBNs) under different parameters to increase the reliability of feature extraction. The multiview outputs are further embedded into a single view before inputting into a stacked DBN for classification. The result of the proposed novel architecture achieved a classification rate of 98.3% with 30% training data. Importantly, it is able to perform user classification using heartwave signals acquired under intense physical exercise where heart rate ranges from 50 bpm to as high as 180 bpm. Under extreme physical duress, the heartwave from an individual experiences extreme morphological variations that render conventional classification approaches nonapplicable.

Art in Mozart class
Yesterday, the children in Mozart class had a great time exploring different techniques and creating patterns with their watercolours! We looked at creating an ombre effect, varying the sizes of our dots by changing the ways we use our paintbrushes, as well as 'drawing' shapes. The children took their time to produce some very intricate pieces of artwork with just one colour – I was very impressed!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
