text: This paper proposes a latency model for a multi-layer system on chip (SoC) structure employing through silicon vias (TSVs). TSVs are used to interconnect multiple SoC chips stacked to form a three-dimensional (3-D) structure. The proposed latency model has been used to estimate the system performance. The performance estimation reflects the number of IPs connected to the system bus, data throughput and the number of masters in the system. The maximum throughput calculation results can be used to find the appropriate number of chips to be stacked during the 3-D multi-layer SoC system design process.

If there is no common sub-class among these element types, you can use LINQ to project the lists using a generic Tuple<int, int, object> (i.e. rating, vote, and the original element instance) containing the two properties you are interested in. Then you can do a simple query to pick the top 10 elements:
List<A> ax = /* ... */;
List<B> bx = /* ... */;
List<C> cx = /* ... */;
/* ... */
IEnumerable<Tuple<int, int, object>> ratingsAndVotes =
 ax.Select((a) => Tuple.Create(a.Rating, a.Vote, a)).Concat(
 bx.Select((b) => Tuple.Create(b.Rating, b.Vote, b)).Concat(
 cx.Select((c) => Tuple.Create(c.Rating, c.Vote, c)) /* ... */;
Tuple<int, int, object>[] topTenItems =
 ratingsAndVotes.OrderByDescending((i) => i.Item1).ThenByDescending((i) => i.Item2).Take(10).ToArray();
// topTenItems now contains the top 10 items out of all the lists;
// for each tuple element, Item1 = rating, Item2 = vote,
// Item3 = original list item (as object)
score:8
Try something like below
var topTen = yourList.OrderBy(x => x.Rating).ThenBy(z => z.Vote).Take(10)
score:3
You can start with something like:
 var res = l1.Concat(l2).Concat(l3).Concat(l4).Concat(l5)
 .OrderByDescending(k => k.Rating)
 .ThenBy(k=>k.Vote)
 .Take(10).ToList();
where l1...l5 are your lists
score:1
You can use OrderBy and ThenBy to order by two (or more) fields and then use Take to get the top 10:
var myList = new List<Film>();
// ... populate list with some stuff
var top10 = myList.OrderBy(f => f.Rating).ThenBy(f => f.Vote).Take(10);
Hope that helps :)

The normalized full gradient (NFG) method defined by Berezkin (1967, 1973 and 1998) is used for downward continuation maps. Analytical downward continuation is a method to estimate the field closer to the source and consequently results in a better resolution of underground rock distribution. However, the usefulness of this process is limited by the fact that the operation is extremely sensitive to noise. With noise free data, downward continuation is well defined; we do not attempt to continue below the source level. In the presence of noise, the amplification of high frequencies is so strong that it quickly masks the information in the original profile. Low-pass Fourier filtering, while suppressing such noise, also blurs the signal, overcoming the purpose of sharpening by downward continuation.
Despite the above-mentioned problems, most geophysical experts have long been interested in this technique because of its importance to the mineral exploration. Furthermore, this method is a fast and cheap way to determine the initial depth of the subsurface features, especially where there is no other geophysical or well-logging data. A good analytical downward continuation process could provide subsurface general images, allowing an enhanced interpretation. Also, analytical downward continuation has the ability to determine accurately both horizontal and vertical extents of geological sources.
This method is concisely described in the following section. The 2-D NFG of gravity anomalies is defined as (Berezkin, 1973):
Where GH(x, z) is the NFG at point (x, z) on a cross-section x-z; Vzz(x, z) and Vxz(x, z) are the first vertical derivative and the first horizontal (along the x-direction) derivative of gravity anomalies (or Vz) at point (x, z), respectively; G(x, z) is the full (total) gradient of gravity anomalies at point (x, z); GCP(z) is the average of the full gradient of gravity anomalies at level z; and M is the number of samples in a data set.
Berezkin (1973) expressed the gravity anomalies over the range (-L, L) by the finite Fourier sine series,
L is the integral interval or length of the gravity profile; and N is the number of harmonics of the series. From Eq. (2) it follows that
Defining a smoothing factor for eliminating high-frequency noise resulting from downward continuation, we have,
Where, m is known as the degree of smoothing. It was suggested to choose m =1 or 2 to reach reasonable results. Finally,
Substituting Eqs. 8 and 9 into Eq. 1, the NFG is calculated.
The NFG method nullifies perturbations due to the passage of mass depth during downward continuation. The method depends on the downwards analytical continuation of normalized full gradient values of gravity data. Analytical continuation discriminates certain structural anomalies which cannot be distinguished in the observed gravity field. It can be used to estimate location, depth to the top and center of the deposit that is applied also for detecting oil reserviors and tectonic studies. One of the important parameter to estimate accurate shape of the deposit is true selection of the harmonic number. In this paper, the correct range of the harmonic number is determined and then this method will be tested for noise-free and noise-corruption synthetic data. Finally, 2D and 3D of this method are applied on real data, Dehloran Bitumen.

What is Whistlewood all about?
Whistlewood is ten acres of community-owned land in Melbourne, South Derbyshire.
The site is designed along permaculture principles (a sustainable design framework) so that it will work for people, for wildlife and be a welcoming space for people of all ages and backgrounds.
We hold events and run workshops and provide educational opportunities that help people understand how to live more sustainably. Our rural ten acre site encourages an appreciation of nature and the outdoors, by being part of it, not just an outside observer. The site also hosts events that bring our community closer to make it a better place to live and help us face future challenges.
How did it come about?
In 2013 ten acres of land came up for sale in Melbourne in South Derbyshire. Members of the local Transition group wondered if it would be possible to do something really exciting with it. What if we could create a community woodland where everything was edible or otherwise useful for our community? And in the same space help people understand how to live more sustainably, appreciate nature and the outdoors, and hold events that would bring our community closer to face future challenges.
So, with the support of the National Forest Company, a co-operative society was formed and shares were sold to enable the land purchase to become a reality. Shares, from £50 upwards were sold to local people, but word spread and we gained supporters all around the world who were inspired by what we were doing.
Since purchasing the land we've gained planning permission for a range of structures, have formed working groups, planted trees, built structures, held events, welcomed children, and much more…
A solid business plan is behind everything we do and the project will be sustainable long-term, financially as well as environmentally.
People young and old love the site as somewhere they can feel relaxed and close to nature, and can be part of the solution, not the problem.


How to Export Contact as vCard using PHP
by Vincy. Last modified on July 3rd, 2023.
VCard or VCF is a virtual contact file containing contact information in a standard format. It is used to attach and transfer contact data via email or any other form of electronic data transfer. The vCard stores contact data like name, email, address, company, and more details. This tutorial will show how to export contact data to a vCard using PHP.
Previously, we have seen PHP contact form example to get the contact details from the user. In this example, the user contact and company details are stored in a database table.
View Demo
Data for contact is retrieved using PHP from the database and listed in a tabular format. In this list, each item will have the option to export data to a vCard format. Once exported, the vCard will be downloaded to the browser.
php-vcard-export-output
Previously, we have seen several examples to export database results to various format like CSV, and Excel. I have used Jeroen Desloovere's vCard PHP library for exporting contact data to vCard. Download this library from Github and put it in your local environment to run this example.
Contact Data Table with vCard Export Option
This landing page displays the contact details from the database in a tabular form. In this PHP example, I have used MySQL prepared statement for performing database operations.
Initially, the query is executed to get all the contact details into a PHP array. This array of contacts is iterated and displayed in a tabular view with the vCard export option. By clicking this vCard Export control, the PHP export action will be called. Then the contact data will be exported to a VCF file and downloaded to the browser.
<?php
require_once "DBController.php";
$dbController = new DBController();
if(!empty($_GET["action"])) {
 $query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_contact WHERE id = ?";
 $param_type = "i";
 $param_value_array = array($_GET["id"]);
 $contactResult = $dbController->runQuery($query,$param_type,$param_value_array);

 require_once "VcardExport.php";
 $vcardExport = new VcardExport();
 $vcardExport->contactVcardExportService($contactResult);
 exit;
}
$query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_contact";
$result = $dbController->runBaseQuery($query);
?>

 }
?>

<?php
}
?>

PHP vCard Library Class Instantiation and Contact Data Export
In this PHP class, the required vCard library class is instantiated. Regarding this instance, the contact data is added to an object array. This contact data object will be passed while exporting data to the VCF file.
This vCard PHP library requires the Behat-Transliterator library for transliterating the name. So, download Behat-Transliterator library and use it as a dependency to run this example.
<?php
use JeroenDesloovere\VCard\VCard;
class VcardExport
{
 public function contactVcardExportService($contactResult)
 {
 require_once 'vendor/Behat-Transliterator/Transliterator.php';
 require_once 'vendor/jeroendesloovere-vcard/VCard.php';
 // define vcard
 $vcardObj = new VCard();
 // add personal data
 $vcardObj->addName($contactResult[0]["first_name"] . " " . $contactResult[0]["last_name"]);
 $vcardObj->addBirthday($contactResult[0]["date_of_birth"]);
 $vcardObj->addEmail($contactResult[0]["email"]);
 $vcardObj->addPhoneNumber($contactResult[0]["phone"]);
 $vcardObj->addAddress($contactResult[0]["address"]);

 return $vcardObj->download();
 }
}
?>
Database Controller
This PHP class was created as a database controller to handle connections and fetch data with PreparedStatement. The runBaseQuery() function receives and executes the query without parameters. The runQuery() function gets the query, param type, and values as its argument to bind with the query statement. This function is used to fetch contact data by id for exporting it to a VCF file.
<?php
class DBController {
 private $host = "localhost";
 private $user = "root";
 private $password = "test";
 private $database = "blog_samples";
 private $conn;

 function __construct() {
 $this->conn = $this->connectDB();
 }

 function connectDB() {
 $conn = mysqli_connect($this->host,$this->user,$this->password,$this->database);
 return $conn;
 }

 function runBaseQuery($query) {
 $result = $this->conn->query($query);
 if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
 while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
 $resultset[] = $row;
 }
 }
 return $resultset;
 }

 function runQuery($query, $param_type, $param_value_array) {
 $sql = $this->conn->prepare($query);
 $this->bindQueryParams($sql, $param_type, $param_value_array);
 $sql->execute();
 $result = $sql->get_result();

 if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
 while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
 $resultset[] = $row;
 }
 }

 if(!empty($resultset)) {
 return $resultset;
 }
 }

 function bindQueryParams($sql, $param_type, $param_value_array) {
 $param_value_reference[] = & $param_type;
 for($i=0; $i<count($param_value_array); $i++) {
 $param_value_reference[] = & $param_value_array[$i];
 }

Installation of the XPYBell DoorBell
XPY Bell High-Definition outdoor - Wireless Doorbell - With mobile application.
This article explain the steps to install your XPY Doorbell.

Primary Steps
Installing the mounting bracket.
1. First choose the location to mount the doorbell camera, preferably one that offers the best viewing angle and Wi-Fi reception. If the Wi-Fi reception is weak, we recommend using a Range Extender or Powerline Adapter. Visit our website _URL_ to learn more about these types of products.
2. If wiring to an existing doorbell, make sure that the power source is 9-36V. Unscrew and remove the doorbell from the wall. Carefully disconnect the wires from the doorbell.
3. If dealing with 110/220V, use the provided power adapter or batteries to power up the XPY Bell.
4. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the three screw holes with a pencil.
5. If mounting the device on a stucco, brick or concrete wall, use a masonry bit to drill pilot holes in order to insert the anchors. On wood or drywall, you can skip this steps.
6. Drive the screws into the anchors or directly into the wall until they are flush with the mounting bracket, and the bracket is flat against the surface. Make sure all wires are properly guided through the middle of the bracket.

Powering your Doorbell
The doorbell has 3 different power configuration:
A. It can run independently on DC power from 4 AA batteries.
B. It can be plugged to an AC outlet using the provided power adapter.
C. It can be hardwired to an existing doorbell connection in your home of up to 36V at 600mA.
Option #1. Set up with the battery.
1. Unfasten the tamper-proof screw with the supplied tool.

2. Slide the battery compartment down and insert the 4 supplied AA batteries, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
3. Close the battery compartment and replace the tamper-proof screw.

Option #2. Set up with the AC Adapter.
1. With a phillips-head, remove the screws from the sea-proof backplate to expose the pin connection block.
2. If using the supplied AC adaptor, please note that the red and black DC cable comes preinstalled in the I/O terminal block, so as to make sure the correct polarity is observed.
3. Connect the power cable extending from the doorbell camera to the cable of the power adapter, making sure the plug is pushed all the way in.
4. Then plug the power adapter to an electrical outlet.

Option #3. Set up with an existing doorbell with a low voltage transformer.
Warning: It can only be connected to a low voltage transformer or power source with an electrical rating of 9-36V AC/DC. If wiring with an existing chime the power rating of the chime I/O port cannot exceed 24V.
1. Remove the preinstalled cable from the I/O terminal block on the back of the doorbell camera.
2. Insert the wires coming out of the wall that was originally connected to your existing doorbell to the I/O terminal block. If more than 2 wires are present a pair will be used to power the doorbell camera from the low voltage transformer and another pair will be used to wire the chime. Refer to the diagram below.

Hardwire power requierment: Maximum 36V AC/DC

Additional terminal wiring
1. Door Chime
To connect the device to an existing doorbell installation, follow the diagram below.
NOTE: Chime terminals can only support up to 24V AC/DC

2. Remote door unlocks.
To open your door remotely from your smartphone, tablet or PC, connect one relay trigger cable into the corresponding terminal block pins, as shown in the diagram.

NOTE: - Remote door unlock function not supported when is powered by AA batteries.
- For Remote door unlock function to work at 12V/1A, the doorbell must be powered using an AC/DC adapter rated at 15V/1.5A or higher.
3. Electric gate (2/4 type connection)
To open your gate remotely from your smartphone, tablet or PC, connect one relay trigger cable into the corresponding terminal block pins, as shown in the diagram.

NOTE: - Door and gate unlock functions are not supported when powered by AA batteries.
- For remote door unlock function to work at 12V/1A, the doorbell must be powered using an AC/DC adapter rated at 15V/1.5A or higher.
- Dry contact terminals can only support up to 24V AC/DC sources.
Memory card installation.
The doorbell includes an 8GB micro-SD card to store footage and images captured by the camera. If you want to install a memory card with higher capacity (of up to 32GB), you can do so at this stage.
1. With a phillips-head screwdriver, remove the screws from the seal-proof backplate to expose the I/O terminal block, if you have not yet done so.
2. Slide up to unlock the latch and lift with your fingertips to expose the tray, if you want to remove the included storage device and insert a new one.

3. Push down the latch to secure the tray. Finish by replacing the back cover and tighten the screws, as shown in the image.

Mounting the doorbell onto the bracket
1. Now with the batteries and memory card installed, and the compartments are tightly closed, attach the unit to the mounting bracket, by aligning the tabs on the doorbell with the holes, as shown in the image.
NOTE: At this point, we recommend taking a picture of the QR code located on the back of the doorbell. This will be used during the mobile app setup.

NAME
 LockDev - Perl extension to manage device lockfiles
SYNOPSIS
 use LockDev;
 $pid = LockDev::dev_testlock( $device);
 $pid = LockDev::dev_lock( $device);
 $pid = LockDev::dev_relock( $device, $oldpid);
 $pid = LockDev::dev_unlock( $device, $oldpid);
DESCRIPTION
 The LockDev methods act on device locks normally located in /var/lock . The lock is
 acquired creating a pair of files hardlinked between them and named after the device name
 (as mandated by FSSTND) and the device's major and minor numbers (as in SVr4 locks). This
 permits to circumvent a problem using only the FSSTND lock method when the same device
 exists under different names (for convenience or when a device must be accessable by more
 than one group of users).
 The lock file names are typically in the form LCK..ttyS1 and LCK.004.065 , and their
 content is the pid of the process who owns the lock.
METHODS
 $pid = LockDev::dev_testlock( $device);
 This method simply checks if the device is in some way locked and if the owner of the lock
 is still active (otherways it removes the lock). It recognise a valid lock even if only
 one of the two lock files exists (and is owned by an existing process), thus permitting a
 safe use of this library toghether with programs using only FSSTND or SVr4 lock style.
 $pid = LockDev::dev_lock( $device);
 This method first checks if the device is already locked and then tryes to acquire the
 lock building the two lock files. First it creates the file which name contains the major
 and minor numbers (in SVr4 style), then it creates the file with the device name in its
 name. This order reduces the clashes with other processes trying to lock the same device
 (even with a different name) and using this library. It has no problem with processes that
 uses only the FSSTND algorithm.
 $pid = LockDev::dev_relock( $device, $oldpid);
 This method changes the owner of an existing lock; if the pid of the old owner is
 provided, then it checks if the lock was correctly assigned (otherways there is the
 possibility of a process acquiring a lock which was owned by another unrelated process).
 If the device was not locked, locks it.
 $pid = LockDev::dev_unlock( $device, $oldpid);
 This method removes the existing locks on the device. If the pid of the owner of the lock
 is provided, then it check if the locks are assigned to that process, avoiding to remove
 locks assigned to other existing processes.
RETURN VALUES
 All the methods in LockDev library return ZERO on successfull completion of the function
 (LockDev::dev_testlock returns zero if there is no lock on the device), otherways, if the
 device is currently locked by an existing process, they return the pid of the process
 owner of the lock. They return a negative number when some kind of error happens.
 Actually they all return only (-1).

fundamental rights include:
Inmates have the right to access adequate medical care, including mental health services. The prison is responsible for providing appropriate treatment and ensuring that inmates receive necessary medications and medical attention.
Northern State Prison must maintain a safe and secure environment for all inmates. This includes protection from harm by other inmates or staff and ensuring that living conditions meet basic sanitation standards.
Inmates have the right to legal representation and access to legal resources, such as a law library or assistance from an attorney. This ensures that they can defend themselves in court proceedings and seek recourse for violations of their rights.
Freedom of Religion
Inmates are entitled to practice their religion within the confines of the facility, provided it does not pose a threat to security or the well-being of others. This includes access to religious texts and the ability to participate in religious services.
Inmates have the right to due process when faced with disciplinary actions or allegations of misconduct. This includes the opportunity to present their case, call witnesses, and appeal any decisions.
Grievance Procedures at Northern State Prison
If an inmate believes that their rights have been violated, they have the right to file a grievance or complaint. The grievance process at Northern State Prison is designed to ensure that inmates have a fair and structured way to address their concerns. To file a grievance, inmates must follow these steps:
Inmates should first attempt to resolve the issue informally by discussing the matter with the staff member involved or their immediate supervisor. This step encourages open communication and problem-solving without resorting to formal grievance procedures.
If the issue cannot be resolved informally, inmates can file a formal grievance. This typically involves submitting a written form to the appropriate department within the facility. The form should clearly state the issue, the inmate's desired resolution, and any relevant supporting evidence.
Review and Investigation
Once the grievance has been submitted, the facility will review the complaint and conduct an investigation if necessary. The inmate may be interviewed, and any relevant witnesses or evidence will be considered. The facility will then issue a decision on the grievance.
If the inmate is not satisfied with the outcome of their grievance, they have the right to appeal the decision. This involves submitting a written appeal to a higher authority within the prison system, who will review the case and issue a final determination.
Understanding inmate rights and the grievance procedures at Northern State Prison is crucial for ensuring the fair treatment of incarcerated individuals. By being aware of these rights and the proper procedures for filing a grievance, inmates and their advocates can work together to address concerns and protect the well-being of those in the prison system.

Release and Reintegration
When an inmate is eligible for parole, they must go through a review process to determine their suitability for release. Reentry programs and resources are available to help inmates transition back into society successfully. These may include employment assistance, housing support, and access to counseling services. As a family member or friend, you can support your loved one during this critical period by offering encouragement, guidance, and a stable environment for their return.
Transitioning from incarceration back into society can be a challenging and complex process. The support and resources available to individuals released from Northern State Prison play a critical role in their successful reintegration. We will give an in-depth look at the parole process, reentry programs and resources, and tips for supporting a loved one during their reintegration journey.
The Parole Process at Northern State Prison
The parole process at Northern State Prison begins when an inmate becomes eligible for release based on their sentence and demonstrated progress during incarceration. The New Jersey State Parole Board assesses each case and considers factors such as the inmate's behavior while incarcerated, participation in rehabilitation programs, and any potential risk to public safety.
Inmates eligible for parole are required to attend a parole hearing, where they present their case and explain how they have addressed the issues that led to their incarceration. Family members and friends may submit letters of support or attend the hearing, depending on the specific circumstances. If the parole board grants parole, the inmate will be released under supervision and required to comply with certain conditions, such as reporting to a parole officer, maintaining employment, and avoiding criminal activities.
Reentry Programs and Resources
Northern State Prison recognizes the importance of providing support to inmates as they prepare for release. The facility offers a variety of reentry programs and resources designed to address the challenges that individuals may face upon returning to society. These programs include:
Northern State Prison partners with local organizations and employers to help individuals secure stable employment upon release. Job readiness workshops and vocational training programs are available to provide inmates with the skills necessary to succeed in the job market.
Finding stable housing is a crucial component of successful reintegration. Northern State Prison works with local housing agencies and nonprofit organizations to help released individuals find affordable, safe housing options.
Returning to society can be an emotionally challenging process, and Northern State Prison offers access to counseling services for individuals who need support in managing their emotions, relationships, and personal growth.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Treatment
Continuity of care is essential for individuals with substance abuse or mental health issues. Northern State Prison collaborates with community-based treatment providers to ensure that released individuals have access to the necessary resources to maintain their sobriety and mental well-being.

There are a wide variety of databases covering all sorts of data, and I won't try and list them all here (but I'll list some of the largest ones). There isn't anything as clear-cut as the Particle Data Group because astronomy deals with complex systems (as opposed to the more fundamental particles in sub-nuclear), and there's no saying that the spectrum of source XX won't change tomorrow. Some sources are more transient than others, and it's often possible to estimate a timescale for transience, but there's always the possibility of some unknown effect coming into play or some unresolved source entering the region and wreaking havoc on the status quo.
I think the closest thing to what you're asking about would be virtual observatories. There are a number of organizations/countries with VO projects, here are a few:
There are also a few source catalogs maintained by the Centre de Données de Strasbourg (Simbad, Vizier, Aladin) which are quite extensive, and another by NASA called NED.
Some of the largest collections of survey data are SDSS (>1/4 of the sky in 5 bands from about the near-IR to the near-UV with hundreds of millions of objects catalogued, and millions of spectra), 2MASS (all-sky survey in the near-IR), MAST (compendium of catalogs from the Space Telescope Science Institute). The data from the Planck (IR/radio, all sky), Fermi (gamma ray, all sky) and Chandra (x-ray) satellites are (or will be) publicly archived, and many other archives of data from particular telescopes exist as well.
If you're interested in a particular source (or type of source), or a particular waveband, I might be able to recommend a database.

1. What is the standard moisture level in the charcoal?
2. How to calculate or measure the moisture content before selling/export?
3. Do you have any easy way to check if the moisture content is o.k.?
Basis of calculation: % Moisture ( wet weight ) = (weight of charcoal – dry charcoal) x100 /starting charcoal weight.
4. If we have high-tech tools to measure the moisture, what is the favorable level for charcoal / charcoal briquette export.
Please kindly reply
Normally, the charcoal / charcoal briquette moisture content should be in range of 7-10 %. However, there are some differences between charcoal (wood charcoal) and charcoal briquette.
1) If the charcoal manufacturer use water to extinguish the fire, then it would be somewhat higher moisture off the stove than to extinguish by closing the kiln, which almost no moisture left. Anyway, Usually charcoal will absorb the moisture in the atmosphere soon after you remove the charcoal from the kiln. If you do not put water directly to stop the carbonization (stop the charring), then the moisture content will not exceed 10%.
Other categories, such as mangrove charcoal imported from Myanmar, most of it will be humid because the sea water or sea water splashing into the boat. The salt is very rich in charcoal.
Ever is the time to send them to the destination. Countries with low humidity, like the Israel, the weight after 1 month storage can loose more than 5-10% in dry season. It has been my experience with clients who have experienced this but they were already aware of this problem at first (that is what I was told).
Conclusion is that rarely do they make it much moisture. But we can check easily and to be aware of is the time to pack a bag or box. If too damp can cause rot box or bag wet. You can test by packing and taking the box/bag under the sun and then, after back into the shade and cooling, open to check it.
Because containers can reach reach 60-70 degrees Celsius during shipping, if travel long distance like to Europe it will be more than 1 month, extreme heating/cooling will cause the problem.
2 ) Charcoal briquette with moisture higher than 10 percent moisture, it will become softened and mushy after a 1-2 day after packing. Thus, carry out a test (same as charcoal case), it is not difficult to know that the humidity is low enough or not.

Neural Responses Indicate our Willingness to Help
Witnessing a person from our own group or an outsider suffer pain causes neural responses in two very different regions of the brain. And, the specific region activated reveals whether or not we will help the person in need. Researchers at the University of Zurich studied the brain responses of soccer fans and now have neurobiological evidence for why we are most willing to help members of our own group.
Our reactions to shocking news clips on television demonstrate that human beings can remain remarkably cool in the face of other peoples' suffering. And yet, we are also ready to sacrifice ourselves for others, even if no tangible reward awaits. Why such a difference? Social psychology has proven that our propensity to help is modulated by social factors. Little, however, was known about the underlying neural processes and how they are influenced by group affiliation. Now, research in neuroscience at the University of Zurich has documented that the brain regions activated when witnessing people suffer vary according to whether those suffering are perceived as group members. "And most importantly, the differences in neural responses indicate whether the observer will help the suffering person later on," as neuroscientist Grit Hein confirmed.
Grit Hein, Tania Singer (now director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences) and social psychologist C. Daniel Batson (University of Kansas, USA) measured the neural responses of soccer fans: Test subjects watched either a member of their own group (ingroup) or someone from a rival team (outgroup) be subjected to painful shocks through electrodes attached to the back of their hands. The test subjects could then decide whether or not to help an ingroup or outgroup member by receiving a portion of the pain themselves. Helping had a high cost as it was inherently linked to personal physical pain. Test persons also had the option to simply watch the other person receive the shocks or to distract themselves from the unpleasant scene by watching a soccer video.
The scientific journal Neuron has published the revealing results of the study: Should a person from an ingroup suffer pain, brain regions associated with empathy for others' pain are activated. A greater degree of activation in these regions correlates with a greater willingness to help. If, however, test subjects saw a member of an outgroup subjected to pain, brain regions motivated by reward were activated. A high degree of reward-related activation corresponds to a negative perception of the person belonging to the rival team, and the willingness to help decreases as brain activation rises.
Measuring neural responses also proves to be a more accurate prediction tool than questionnaires when trying to determine how willing people are to help people outside of their group affiliation. "After all, who is going to admit they'd help a friend in need but let an outsider suffer?" observed Grit Hein.
Grit Hein received the Branco-Weiss Fellowship from the Society in Science (Zurich) for this study and other work.

found on Cerin Amroth in Lothlorien, alongside Frodo. The game's "Guardian" class ("Tank" in MMO terms) is based on Samwise due to the dedication he showed Frodo. This leads to an interesting occurrence: at some point each player gets to talk to a major character, who inspired his class. But while Legolas can teach a lot to a Hunter and Bilbo can show much to a Burglar, Sawmwise insists that he is no Guardian and not fit to be one - because his heroic deeds have not happened yet. The player has to double-check and discovers that whoever talked of Sam as a great Guardian, apparently had misheard the word "Gardener".
Sam Gamgee is by many regarded as the "true hero" of Tolkien's story. Tolkien himself expressed this view in one of his letters: Sam is referred to as the "chief hero", and special emphasis is placed on Sam's "rustic love" for Rosie.[5] The quest to destroy the Ring only succeeds because of Sam, who repeatedly saves Frodo from disaster (such as rescuing him at Cirith Ungol and carrying him up Mount Doom). He was one of three Ring-bearers strong enough to surrender the Ring voluntarily.
The relationship between Frodo and Sam is, in many respects, at the center of The Lord of the Rings. To the modern reader, it seems archaic, as it is extremely class-oriented. Sam's humbleness and "plain speaking" is frequently emphasised in contrast to Frodo's "gentility", and he often shows deference to Frodo, calling him "Mister Frodo" or "Master". At the same time, a strong bond of love and trust grows between them, portrayed most poignantly during the events of Cirith Ungol, where Sam vows to return to his (apparently) dead master, to be reunited with Frodo in death.
Tolkienists regard Sam as Frodo's batman. In the British Army, a batman was an orderly who acted as the personal servant of an officer. It was a role with which Tolkien (who served as an Army officer in the First World War) would have been extremely familiar. Sam undertakes all of the typical roles of a batman — he runs errands for Frodo, he cooks, he transports him (or at least carries him), and he carries his luggage. Tolkien confirmed this interpretation when he wrote in a private letter that:
"My Sam Gamgee is indeed a reflexion of the English soldier, of the privates and batmen I knew in the 1914 war, and recognized as so far superior to myself"

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Taj Mahal on October 26, days after some BJP leaders made provocative statements against the 17th century Mughal era monument.
Accompanied by scores of security personnel, officials and jostling crowds of supporters, he walked down the path leading to Taj Mahal along with State Tourism Minister Rita Bahuguna Joshi.
Adityanath, the first BJP Chief Minister of the State to visit the monument, entered from the western gate.
Donning a mask, wearing yellow gloves and wielding a broom, Adityanath, accompanied by about 500 BJP members including MLAs from western Uttar Pradesh, swept a parking area, in an apparent bid to promote the Swachh Bharat mission.
Over 14,000 policemen were deployed across Agra in view of the Chief Minister's visit.
The visit is seen by many as a damage control exercise after the eruption of a series of controversies, beginning with a tourism department booklet not mentioning the white marble monument in its list of development projects in the State.
Subsequently, BJP MLA Sangeet Som called Taj Mahal a "blot on Indian history" and BJP MP Vinay Katiyar said it was originally a Shiva temple.
However, at a recent rally in Gorakhpur, Adityanath called Taj Mahal the "pride of India" and referred to it as a "world class monument".
This was a significant departure from his remarks at a rally in Bihar in 2016, when he said Taj Mahal does not represent Indian culture and that visiting foreign dignitaries should be presented with the Gita rather than replicas of the monument.
The Chief Minister had declared that the State government will spend ₹370 crore on development plans aimed at promoting tourism in Agra.
Along with the visit to Taj Mahal, Adityanath will inaugurate various development projects in Agra, according to an official spokesperson.
Adityanath earlier went to Nangla Paima village and visited a rubber check dam. He also visited Kachhpura village.
More than two years ago, Akhilesh Yadav visited the monument as Chief Minister.


What is Structural Soil?
Structural Soil is a soil developed by Cornell University and trademarked under the name 'CU-Soil®'. CU Structural soil has been engineered to simultaneously meet the support needs of the pavements that stand on top of it and the requirements of the trees that are rooted in it. It is the answer to several expensive problems in the urban environment such as raised and cracked sidewalk cracks (which lead to tripping and potential lawsuits), early and frequent need for pavement repair, and poor drainage leading to puddles and muddy sidewalks. Additionally, it prolongs the life of street trees, so they don't have to be replaced every 5-7 years.
Structural soil works as a 2-part system: a lattice of crushed stone, which provides the structural support and load-bearing capacity required by the work, and a carefully measured mix of heavy clay loam, which fills the gaps between the crushed rocks and promotes tree root growth, aeration and adequate water holding capacity.
The development of CU structural soil took place in Cornell University's Urban Horticulture Institute, by a team including the renowned professor Nina Bassuk, and has been tested in the field for well over 15 years.
Helps with Soil Compaction
Soils under pavements tend to become compacted, because the weight of the traffic on them slowly crushes the pockets of air and water in the soil. This is a great problem for urban tree roots since they are forced to grow in soil that is as dense as a brick. Unable to grow downwards, roots grow horizontally or even upwards, causing the bulges and cracks in the sidewalks that we are all familiar with.
Read more about soil compaction, its causes and how to prevent and fix it here; we wrote a blog with lots of useful info.
Helps with Tree Growth in Urban Areas
Urban areas benefit from trees and green areas in their midst, which is why tree planting tends to be a high priority for city councils. However, under normal circumstances, those trees are doomed to die in 5 to 7 years, due to stunted root growth, soil compaction, and poor drainage, which will, in turn, cause health issues for the trees and accelerate their death. Using structural soil to support trees helps them develop healthy roots and grow to their full potential - the oldest field applications of structural soil are over 25 years old and performing as well as expected.
How Is Structural Soil Used?
CUStructural Soil® was designed to provide sufficient soil volumes for tree roots under pavements and parking lots. According to the instructions, it is ideal under pedestrian mall paving, sidewalks, planting islands, and parking lots.
Urban Trees
CU-soil can be used before a pavement or parking lot has been built or added after the fact to prolong the life of trees and paved areas. Structural soil can be combined with sandy loam if there is a large enough opening around the tree, or it can be used on its own to extend the pavement closer to the tree trunk without compromising the tree's health.
Installing structural soil under a traditional porous pavement has many benefits when it comes to absorbing, distributing and storing stormwater. The main recommendation is to lay some geotextile between the structural soil and the mortared pavement (or the sand bed if no mortar is used), to discourage roots from growing in that direction.
Porous asphalt is a lot like regular asphalt, but it has its own specific mix to keep it porous and allow stormwater to seep through it instead of run over it. Structural soil is an excellent base under porous asphalt, and the amount of CU-soil required will depend on the type of soil underneath it. Additionally, storm drainage may be required - check your local regulations.
Saving Trees
Sometimes the trees are already there and you want to pave around them. Instead of leaving small "tree pits" of easily compacted soil,consider the structural soil trenches system, which uses the crown projected area of the tree to calculate how much structural soil will be required to keep it healthy. A small amount of structural soil can help you conserve a valuable and beautiful tree, and save a lot of money in repairs.
If structural soil is good for trees, imagine how good it will be for turf! While parking areas are not usually covered in turf, fire lanes are a frequent use of CU-soil and turf for an area which is not normally used for traffic, but which may on occasion have to withstand the weight of a fire engine. Structural soil has the necessary load-bearing capacity, and additionally, it will help with drainage so that stormwater is reabsorbed and deflected appropriately during the rainy season.
Where Can You Find CU Soil?
Structural Soil was patented and trademarked under the name 'CUStructural Soil®' to ensure consistency and quality control - there are other products around which claim to be structural soil, but they are not CU-soil. You can buy CU-structural soil from licensed producers and vendors, and Minick Materials is very proud to be one of them.

Luna Nova
Last week I went to an incredible concert in which a guest group, Luna Nova performed. Luna Nova is modern ensemble the was made up with a flautist, celliest, and pianist. All of the musicians in this ensemble are experienced musicians and have truly mastered their instruments. They played a wide variety of works, but the one the caught my attention was a George Crumb piece called Vox Balaenae (Voice of the Whale). If you don't know who George Crumb is, he is a historical famous composer, being one of the first to use recordings in live performance. Although there was no particular recording used in the performance, the cello was amplified so that the harmonics of the notes he played could be heard.
Many advanced techniques were used during this song. The song used a prepared piano, which is when the strings of a piano have been labeled and objects have been placed on them so the pianist can pluck the strings witht their hands. The flute player had to sing and play the flute at the same time, which would require months of practice to accomplish. In addition to this both flute player and the cellist had to whistle at times. My favorite part of this piece was when the cello played smooth legato notes as highest string. This effect sounded like a whale call, it was amazing.

Mobility-as-a-Service: A Tentative Framework for Analysing Institutional Conditions
Paper i proceeding, 2017
A theoretical framework has been developed with the aim to generate knowledge of and policy recommendations for the promotion of integrated mobility services - or MaaS - with specific regard to institutional dimensions. These are services where a passenger's transport needs are met by a service that not only integrates a range of mobility services, both public and private, but also provides one-stop access to all services through a common interface. These types of services are currently being developed in several cities globally, and it is essential to develop further understanding and explain how institutions can enable, but also impede, their realisation. Institutions are here defined as a relatively stable collection of rules and practices, embedded in structures that enable action. As such, the framework includes factors at the macro, meso and micro levels, thus including societal trends as well as individual's needs and behaviour. The macro level includes broader social and political factors, including both formal rules and more informal social norms and perceptions. The division between formal and informal variables recur on the meso and micro levels respectively. The meso level – which includes both public and private actors at regional and local levels – consists of both formal institutional factors such as taxation and regulations, and informal factors such as organisational culture and inherited networks between regional actors. Each actor enters the collaborative processes that signify IMS with their own ideals, interests and expectations. It is in these processes of negotiation that the framework takes its point of departure. It is also in this context that business models will be developed, another central aspect of the realisation of MaaS. Finally, the framework includes the micro level, where an individual perspective is placed at centre stage. Individuals (in their roles as citizens, customers, and users) are affected by various formal incentives and push factors, as well as more informal aspects such as self-image and social status. Findings from literature as well as different cases illuminate the framework and which institutional factors enable or constrain the development of MaaS. The findings will provide the empirical and analytical foundation for suggestions on how formal and informal rules and practices can be modified to enable new MaaS to contribute to sustainable mobility.

text: Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a 3D cockpit display (3D-COD) system for improved pilot situational awareness and safety in 3D airspace by overcoming the inherent limitations of 2D information presentation. The proposed display will be automultiscopic and will be based on a projector, a stationary holographic optical element screen integrated with a high-speed electro-optical scanner and high-speed electronics with a software interface to NASA systems. This minimum 8-in. diagonal drop-down head-up display with no moving parts will present six or more perspective views to air crew members, forming integrated virtual volumetric 3D images viewable over a 60 degree horizontal field of view. In Phase I POC designed a laboratory prototype and successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed system by assembling a single-user monochrome 3D-COD prototype. In Phase II POC will further develop the true 3D display technology and construct a fully functional system that will project distortion-free, 400-600 lumen, full-color, virtual volumetric 3D images at a 30-60 Hz video rate for real-time user interaction with the images, each from his or her own perspective.

text: In this paper, ultrasonic-vibration assisted electrical discharge machining (UEDM) is used to process SiCp/Al composite materials in order to achieve a higher material removal rate (MRR) and lower surface roughness, width overcut, and relative tool wear rate (RTWR). FLUENT software was used to simulate the gap flow field. The simulation results of the gap flow field show that the ultrasonic vibration of the tool electrode is conducive to the removal of chips, which makes the discharge more stable and improves the machining efficiency. Based on the single factor experiment, the effects of peak current, reference voltage, pulse width, and pulse interval on MRR, surface roughness, width overcut, and RTWR of the workpiece are studied. Then, based on the orthogonal experiment, the grey relational analysis method was used to optimize the process parameters, and the order of the influence of the 4 process indicators on the comprehensive performance and the optimal processing parameter combination was obtained. The reliability of the process optimization was verified with experiments.

National flags, national flag colors, and the well-being of countries
AbstractThis paper utilizes a simple production function model to assess the relative importance of national flags and national flag colors on the well-being of 93 nations in 2007. It finds that the existence of national flags affects well-being positively. Well-being is inelastic with respect to national flag colors. In other words, it is far more important to well-being to have a national flag than whether the flag is a certain color combination. There is considerable regional variation, but the effects of national flags on well-being are invariant with respect to region.

The composition, structure and magnetic property of the product were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Powder XRD, FTIR and EDAX results confirmed that the as-synthesized products has Fe3O4 with spinel structure and Cu nanoparticles with moderate crystallinity without any other impurities. The surface of the Fe3O4@His nanocomposite was covered by tiny Cu nanoparticles. We examine the catalytic activity of Fe3O4@His@Cu MRCs for the degradation of two azo dyes, methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) as well as their mixture. The reusability of the nanocatalyst was good and sustained even after 3 cycles. Therefore this innovated Fe3O4@His@Cu MRCs has a potential to be used for purification of waste water.


Sufi Meditation is an important part of Islamic spirituality. The Sufi tradition focuses on developing a personal relationship with God/Allah through self-knowledge and self-realization, It uses Zikr (prayers) and Muraqba (meditation) to empty the mind and heart of spiritual students. Meditation aims to balance, heal and enrich the practitioner to face life in a more spiritually empowered way and teaches your mind to stay still and quiet. It also helps strengthen your aura (electromagnetic field), your personality becomes more attractive energetically and negative vibes cannot affect your aura. It is also the means of healing the body and the mind with the light of the Divine
Here is a Simple and easy Sufi Meditation to feel relaxed and closer to God
 1. Close your eyes. Breathe normally a few times.
 2. Bring your awareness to the heart (Qalb), while thinking about God. Feel His Noor (pure white light ) in your heart.
 3. As you inhale, mentally repeat Allah, and feel that God's lights are being transferred into your heart.
 4. As you exhale, mentally repeat Hu, and feel that the light of Hu is powerfully affecting your heart.
 5. Gradually increase the breathing rate to three to four times your normal speed, while keeping the same visualization and Allah's name. Take deep but rapid breaths. The inhalation should be longer than the exhalation. The exhalation is a bit short and forceful.
 6. Practice for ten to 15 minutes every day.
 7. When you open your heart to the Divine it responds to you, making a habit of practicing meditation will bring remarkable changes and it will balance your mind-body, and soul.

Epoc+ is an $800 headset made by Emotiv that uses your brain's EEG signals to control gadgets or computers. Now, a new study from Nitesh Saxena, an associate professor at the University of Alabama, has shown the headset could also be used to guess your passwords and PINs.
"I would say it's a risk for today's devices, and with more advanced devices much more could be done in future," Saxena told MIT Technology Review. "People need to think though the privacy and security models of these interfaces."
Saxena's study had subjects wear the headset while typing random passwords and PINs into a screen. This was used to train the device to recognize the baseline level of EEG activity—Saxena says a hacker could accomplish this by using some kind of video game that would require inputting numbers and letters. After watching a person for only 200 characters, the headset could actually guess which letters the subject was typing based on their brain activity. Though the guesses the headset made weren't perfect, it reduced the odds of guessing a random four digit pin from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 20, and a six letter password by 500,000 times, to 1 in 500. That's pretty impressive considering that headsets like the Epoc+ are fairly crude and the technology is sure to improve.
More From Popular Mechanics
Scientists like Saxena want these results to motivate programmers to build in tougher security in their products. Emotiv responded to the study by saying that the kind of hack they portrayed was not feasible, but other computer security experts disagree. Tamara Bonaci, a researcher at University of Washington who was involved in a similar study, says this is a critical time for these issues. "The improvements have been tremendous over the last few years, and I expect that to continue," she told MIT.

Integrated Modeling for Energy Consumption and Pollutant Emissions in Correlation with Vehicle Usage
|關鍵字:||能源消耗;污染排放;汽機車持有使用;Energy consumption;pollutant emissions;vehicle ownership and usage|
In this study, an integrated model that correlates vehicle usage with energy consumption and pollutant emissions will be developed to evaluate and forecast the effects of vehicle ownership and/or usage control strategies on the reduction of energy consumption and pollutant emissions. To achieve this goal, the study will employ data mining techniques, mainly based on the official database of aperiodic and periodic motor vehicle inspections, to extract key explanatory variables affecting emissions and to cluster similar vehicle emission types so as to properly set the pollutant parameters. According to the chosen explanatory variables and clustered vehicle types, proper questionnaires will be designed and a large-scale repeated household survey will be conducted to collect panel data with individual's preferences, behaviors and potential responses of car and motorcycle ownership, transaction, and usage to the vehicle control strategies. This data will then be used to calibrate dynamic car and motorcycle ownership, transaction, and usage disaggregate models, using appropriate methods such as Logit modeling, Hazard theory, and Markov Chain. Aggregate models of car and motorcycle ownership and usage at national and regional levels will also be developed, using simultaneous logistic regression method, to correlate energy consumption and pollutant emissions with vehicle usage. In order to seek for optimal vehicle control strategies, a bi-level mathematic programming that incorporates all of these aggregate and disaggregate models will be formulated, solved and validated. At last, to facilitate the decision makers to examine the effects of energy and emissions reduction via the proposed integrated model, a decision support system with user-friendly interface will be developed.

Preparation for urodynamic testing
What is a urodynamic testing?
A full urodynamics procedure is a series of tests done to find out how well your child's bladder is working. It provides information how much urine the bladder can hold, its sensitivity, expansion capacity, intravesical pressure in filling and voiding phases, urine flow, post void residual urine and outer urethral sphincter activity.
The examination begins with urination into a special vessel followed by the introduction of a small catheter into the bladder under a local anesthetic.
 1. explain to your child how the examination is to be performed
 2. in the evening preceding the examination give your child a glycerine suppository for defecation
 3. the child should come to the facility with a full bladder
 4. NO FLUIDS are allowed 1 hour before the examination
 5. the child is allowed to eat normally
 6. if the child is not on prophylaxis, start using antibiotics one day before the examination and maintain the therapy for 3-5 days
 7. if the child is on prophylaxis, on the day preceding the examination increase the dosage to double and maintain this dosage for three days
What to bring:
 - clear (NAD) urine and a urine culture test performed no more than 7 days preceding the examination
 - complete medical documentation
 - 48-hour drinking and voiding diary
Urodynamic testing must not be performed in the case of a urinary tract infection!

Taiwan Film Screenings (Understanding Taiwan Through Film and Documentaries)台灣光點‧電影放送
Dr Dafydd Fell and Dr Ming-yeh Rawnsley discuss the Taiwan Film Screenings at SOAS
Over the past 30 years Taiwan film has had an outstanding record of achievement at major film festivals, particularly those in Europe. To factor in this enormous triumph SOAS has offered a course on Taiwan film since 2005 – a course that has been tremendously popular with students. The value of Taiwan's films and documentaries goes beyond their artistic quality, for they also offer a key platform for understanding modern Taiwan. This has been the prime motivation behind this new project. Its goal: to facilitate regular screenings of Taiwanese films and documentaries. Each screening will feature a follow-up Q&A session with invited film makers, actors, or film scholars and critics.
The films will be chosen to integrate closely with existing Taiwan courses at SOAS and the regular Taiwan Studies Seminars. The films shown will reflect key themes, such as important trends in Taiwan's history, social, economic and political change, cross-Strait and international relations, and cultural development. We already supplement our teaching with reference to clips from Taiwanese films and documentaries, but regular screenings of films and the opportunity to question and directly interact with film makers and specialists will greatly enhance students' understanding of contemporary Taiwan. We also intend that these screenings will be organised in close cooperation with the Taiwan Academy in London, which will be inaugurated in the near future. Overall, it is hoped that the screenings will help raise wider awareness and understanding about modern Taiwan and its vibrant creative industries.
The project will host nine film screenings during each academic year. These will include a mix of feature films, short films, and documentaries. There will be three film showings each in term 1 (September-December) and in term 2 (January to March); in term 3 we will devote an entire day to three screenings as part of our annual Taiwan Studies Summer School. The film screenings shall be open to the general public and advertised widely on our Taiwan Studies website and through our extensive emailing lists.
The Understanding Taiwan through Film and Documentary Screening Series is supported by the Ministry of Culture's Spotlight Taiwan Programme. Special Thanks to Dr. Samuel Yin for his generous support to the Spotlight Taiwan Programme.

As a symbol of the Holy Spirit it is specially connected with Baptism (Matthew 3). In pictures of the Annunciation it signifies the Incarnation of Our Saviour by the power of the Holy Ghost. It also symbolizes marytrdom and the Church. The dove with an olive branch was used on a sarcophagus to signify peace and hope of Resurrection; in flight, it represents the Ascension of Christ or the entrance of saints into glory.
Since early medieval times the Holy Eucharist was reserved for the sick in a dove-shaped vessel suspended to the baldichinum over the altar; later the dove was enclosed in a tower upon the altar. A vessel of like form was hung over the early baptisteries.

LEADING IN A TOUGH ECONOMY: Prof Ndubisi Ekewe _TAG_ – Reinvent
Speaking at Edves Catalyst 2020 themed Reinvent. Prof Ndubusi Ekewe, The chairman Fasmicro group & thought-leader Harvard business review gave an inspiring and educating keynote speech during the event on finding the right balance in the ecosystem that can thrive and sustain the Nation.
Here are some excerpts with you from his remarkable speech.
The country has been besieged by a lot of anomalies like security threats, oil market fluctuations, the rise and fall in Naira, and the recent pandemic case making it extremely difficult to upscale the economy, however, companies exist to solve problems same as Education. It must be upscaled to create a sustainable platform and process for learning and developments. The process of leading is in building capabilities to solve problems that exist in the marketplace.
"The world is made up of Numbers"
We can have better Insights if we understand numbers. It also depicts the large demand for data. Leading must move beyond just meeting expectations to creating the ultimate perception for customers. Insights births those perceptions. Perceptions take customers into a new dimension that delivers huge values in how frictions are fixed. Educational sector is the key to unlocking the talent base of the country and so it is important to prioritise its development.
The crucial question to ask would be "How are we going to build the next school of the future? How do we prepare students for future change and deliver progressive educational structure?" Investing in new educational tools become the capabilities needed to drive the education
How then do unlock values using Educations:
- Thinking outside the box
- Taking a New dimension on restructuring educational model
We have to understand that the world is changing and the way education takes place is shifting also. Companies like Edves make it possible to improve the efficiency of using technology to improve the sector.
As we train students to be prepared for the opportunities ahead of them we become positioned to change the ordinance of things in our economy. Leading in a tough economy requires building a solid resilient and capabilities so that we can deliver the best possible value.

Kemet: Ancient Egypt, Africa Workshop 2
Lecture: biological anthropology and Ancient Egypt
with Dr Shomarka Keita
Saturday 16th February 2008
Were the ancient Egyptians Black?
Why is Egypt not seen today to be part of Africa by some people?
The Fitzwilliam Museum, Department of Antiquities through the work of Dr Sally-Ann Ashton Senior Assistant Keeper and with the support from Dr Stephen Quirke Curator of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology organised free workshops consulting communities who were invited to raise important questions and issues with key African intellectuals. Saira Law was the Project Coordinator and Chair of each workshop. This work was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Our aim is to allow community and student groups the opportunity to ask questions about the ethnicity of the ancient Egyptians and to obtain an understanding of how Egypt fits into African cultural heritage, now.
Dr Shomarka Keita is a biological anthropologist and medical doctor. For a long time he has been interested in human variation, especially in Africa. He has published widely on a variety of subjects related to these areas, including ancient Egyptian skeletal biology, the connection between biology, language and archaeology in the study of population history and the history of ideas about race and identity. Currently a Senior Research Associate at the National Human Genome Centre at Howard University and Research Associate in the Department of Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institute.

Alexander H. H. Stuart (1850–1853): Secretary of the Interior
Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart was born in 1807 in Staunton, Virginia, attending the College of William and Mary before graduating from the University of Virginia in 1828, the same year he established his law practice in Staunton. From 1836 to 1839, Stuart served as a Whig in the Virginia House of Delegates. He was then elected to the United States House of Representatives, where he served a single term (_PHONE_).
In 1850, President Millard Fillmore tapped Stuart to become his secretary of the interior. During his three-year tenure, Stuart introduced a civil service system for evaluating employees, urged the creation of an agricultural bureau, and lobbied for a building to house the department. When the Whig Party dissolved in 1856, Stuart became a member of the Know-Nothing Party, which also soon disappeared from the political scene. In 1857, he was elected to the Virginia state senate and, during his tenure, served as chairman of the committee that investigated John Brown's raid at Harpers Ferry.
Though he served as a delegate to the 1861 convention that discussed Virginia's secession from the Union, Stuart opposed the move. Because of his age, he did not take up arms during the Civil War; after the conflict, he was a central figure in Virginia's reconciliation with the North. Though he was elected to the United States Congress in 1865, he was prevented from assuming his seat because of his southern roots.
In 1873, Stuart was elected to a three-year term in the Virginia House of Delegates before serving as rector of the University of Virginia from 1876 to 1882, and then again from 1884 to 1886. From 1871 to 1889, he served as trustee of the Peabody Fund. Alexander Hugh Holmes Stuart died in 1891.
