Galleries | Art,
Museums | Sights
During the Renaissance era in Europe (approximately 14th to 17th centuries), a tradition emerged of collecting objects from nature, religion, and history, and displaying them in cabinets—or sometimes entire rooms. These were often called cabinets of curiosities, or cabinets of wonder, and many things collected for these cabinets became part of museum collections. At this workshop, participants explore related works of art in the galleries, and, in the studio, create their own "cabinet of wonder."Homeschool workshops, specially designed for families who homeschool their children, feature activities that encourage parents and children to learn about and discover art together. Activities are interdisciplinary and teach about art and how art relates to other curricular areas such as language arts, science, and social studies. Each workshop includes an interactive gallery tour, followed by a group discussion in the galleries and an art-making activity that examines a select work of art. All participants receive materials to extend the lesson at home. Available only to homeschool families with children ages 4 to 12. Preregistration required. Families with children ages 10+ may register for the afternoon workshop on the third Tuesday of the month.


Differences in JPA entity locking modes
JPA provides essentially 2 types of locking mechanisms to help synchronize access to entities. Both mechanisms prevent a scenario, where 2 transactions overwrite data of each other without knowing it.
By entity locking, we typically want to prevent following scenario with 2 parallel transactions:
 1. Adam's transaction reads data X
 2. Barbara's transaction reads data X
 3. Adam's transaction modifies data X, and changes it to XA
 4. Adam's transaction writes data XA
 5. Barbara's transaction modifies data X and changes it to XB
 6. Barbara's transaction writes data XB
As a result, changes done by Adam are completely gone and overwritten by Barbara without her even noticing. A scenario like this is sometimes called dirty-read. Obviously, a desired result is that Adam writes XA, and Barbara is forced to review XA changes before writing XB.
How Optimistic Locking works
Optimistic locking is based on assumption that conflicts are very rare, and if they happen, throwing an error is acceptable and more convenient than preventing them. One of the transactions is allowed to finish correctly, but any other is rolled back with an exception and must be re-executed or discarded.
With optimistic locking, here is possible scenario for Adam and Barbara:
 1. Adam's transaction reads data X
 2. Barbara's transaction reads data X
 4. Adam's transaction writes data XA
 5. Barbara's transaction modifies data X and changes it to XB
 6. Barbara's transaction tries to write data XB, but receives and error
 7. Barbara needs to read data XA (or start a completely new transaction)
 8. Barbara's transaction modifies data XA and changes it to XAB
 9. Barbara's transaction writes data XAB
As you see, Barbara is forced to review Adam's changes, and if she decides, she may modify Adam's changes and save them (merge the changes). Final data contains both Adam's and Barbara's changes.
Optimistic locking is fully controlled by JPA. It requires additional version column in DB tables. It is completely independent of underlying DB engine used to store relational data.
How pessimistic locking works
For some, pessimistic locking is considered very natural. When transaction needs to modify an entity, which could be modified in parallel by another transaction, transaction issues a command to lock the entity. All locks are retained until the end of transaction and they are automatically released afterwards.
With pessimistic locks, the scenario could be like this:
 1. Adam's transaction reads data X
 2. Adam's transaction locks X
 3. Barbara's transaction wants to read data X, but waits as X is already locked
 4. Adam's transaction modifies data X, and changes it to XA
 5. Adam's transaction writes data XA
 6. Barbara's transaction reads data XA
 7. Barbara's transaction modifies data XA and changes it to XAB
 8. Barbara's transaction writes data XAB
As we can see, Barbara is again forced to write XAB, which also contains changes by Adam. However, the solution is completely different from optimistic scenario – Barbara needs to wait for Adam's transaction to finish before even reading the data. Furthermore, we need to issue a lock command manually within both transactions for the scenario to work. (As we are not sure which transaction will be served first, Adam's or Barbara's, both transactions need to lock data before modifying it) Optimistic locking requires more setup than pessimistic locking, with version column needed for every entity, but then we do no need to remember issuing locks in the transactions. JPA does all the checks automatically, we only need to handle possible exceptions.
Pessimistic locking uses locking mechanism provided by underlying database to lock existing records in tables. JPA needs to know how to trigger these locks and some databases do not support completely.
Even JPA specification says, that it is not required to provide PESSIMISTIC_READ (as many DBs support only WRITE locks):
It is permissible for an implementation to use LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE
where LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_READ was requested, but not vice versa.
List of available lock types in JPA
First of all, I would like to say that if _USER_ column is provided within entity, optimistic locking is turned on by default by JPA for such entities. You do not need to issue any lock command. However, at any time, you may issue a lock with one of following lock types:
 1. LockModeType.Optimistic
 - This is really the default. It is usually ignored as stated by ObjectDB. In my opinion it only exists so that you may compute lock mode dynamically and pass it further even if the lock would be OPTIMISTIC in the end. Not very probable usecase though, but it is always good API design to provide an option to reference even the default value.
 - Example:
 - This is a rarely used option. But it could be reasonable, if you want to lock referencing this entity by another entity. In other words you want to lock working with an entity even if it is not modified, but other entities may be modified in relation to this entity.
 - Example:
 - We have entity Book and Shelf. It is possible to add Book to Shelf, but book does not have any reference to its shelf. It is reasonable to lock the action of moving a book to a shelf, so that a book does not end up in 2 shelves. To lock this action, it is not sufficient to lock current book shelf entity, as the book does not have to be on a shelf yet. It also does not make sense to lock all target bookshelves, as they would be probably different in different transactions. The only thing that makes sense is to lock the book entity itself, even if in our case it does not get changed (it does not hold reference to its bookshelf).
 - this mode is similar to LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE, but different in one thing: until write lock is in place on the same entity by some transaction, it should not block reading the entity. It also allows other transactions to lock using LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_READ. The differences between WRITE and READ locks are well explained here (ObjectDB) and here (OpenJPA). However, very often, this behaves as LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE, as the specification allows it and many providers do not implement it separately.
 - this is a stronger version of LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_READ. When WRITE lock is in place, JPA with the help of the database will prevent any other transaction to read the entity, not only to write as with READ lock.
 - this is another rarely used lock mode. However, it is an option where you need to combine PESSIMISTIC and OPTIMISTIC mechanisms. Using plain PESSIMISTIC_WRITE would fail in following scenario:
 1. transaction A uses optimistic locking and reads entity E
 2. transaction B acquires WRITE lock on entity E
 3. transaction B commits and releases lock of E
 4. transaction A updates E and commits
 - in step 4, if version column is not incremented by transaction B, nothing prevents A from overwriting changes of B. Lock mode LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT will force transaction B to update version number and causing transaction A to fail with OptimisticLockException, even though B was using pessimistic locking.
To issue a lock of certain type, JPA provides following means:
You may use any of the two types of lock mechanisms in JPA. It is also possible to mix them if necessary, if you use pessimistic lock of type PESSIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT.

Cats in the Cradle – What Does That Phrase Mean?
By: Rebecca O'Connor
Read By: Pet Lovers
Email To A Friend Print
The phrase "Cats in the Cradle" is a familiar one to most everyone, but it is a phrase that brings about mixed emotions. Is the cat being in the cradle a good thing or a bad thing? Does the image bring about feelings of family and childhood or danger and death? Let's investigate some of the myths and truths surrounding cats living with babies and you can decide for yourself what this means to you.
Harry Chapin's Song
American singer/songwriter Harry Chapin's famous song has made the phrase famous. "Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy blue and the man on the moon..." The song was actually written by Chapin's wife Sandy, a poet and a writer. She wrote the words for the song for their son Joshua before he was born. She showed them to her husband but Chapin wasn't too interested in it at the time. However, once his son was born, Chapin realized the power of the words and what they meant to him personally. He recorded the song and it became the best known of all of his work.
"Cat's in the Cradle" tells the story of a father who is too busy to spend time with his growing son. Despite the fact that the father is constantly putting off quality time with his son, the son sees his father as a role model and a fine example of who he wants to grow up to be. In the end the son does grow up to be just like the father and as the aging patriarch reaches out to his son for quality time, his boy is simply to busy with his family. The refrain uses the phrase "cat's in the cradle" and these words bring up images of a young family and the short and sweet the time of infancy. However, a cat in the cradle wasn't always a warm and fuzzy image.
Take my Breath Away
Have you heard the old wives' tale of how cats can steal a baby's breath? Chances are it's a familiar story to you if you have had children. It is a story that even today crops up in forums and from well-meaning, but uneducated advice givers. Expectant mothers are often told that they need to get rid of their cats before the baby comes. But are cats really dangerous to babies?
According to the strength of this story may be traced to a 1791 jury that rendered a verdict in England that a Plymouth child had been killed from a cat sucking away its breath. In actuality there was likely no obvious cause for the infant's death and so the jury passed the blame onto the cat, because of course back then, everyone knew that cats might suck a child's breath away.
A 1929 article in the Nebraska State Journal also quoted a doctor who supposedly witnessed a cat actually sucking an infant's breath. He describes "the family pet in the very act of sucking a child's breath, lying on the baby's breast a paw on either side of the babe's mouth, the cat's lips pressing those of the child and the infant's face pale as that of a corpse, its lips with the blueness of death."
Today we are familiar, although still mystified, by Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It leaves you to wonder if these children didn't die of SIDS and the nearby cat was the best explanation for the death. Cats are curious creatures and the crib is a warm cozy place. It would be easy for them to be implicated in the murder.
However, all of these evil or jealous cat stories are a lot of hooey. It is unlikely that a cat would even suffocate a child accidentally. In fact, I myself grew up sleeping with the cat in my crib. Accidental scratching is a more likely concern and mothers should always keep an eye on their young children when they interact with the cat, whether it's in the cradle or elsewhere. Of course, it's easy enough to keep the cat out of the nursery if there are any concerns. For me, "cats in the cradle" makes me fondly remember a childhood surrounded by animals. How about you?

I'm sure that this is probably old hat to you guys, but I have no idea how to create the arch part of the dials, at least I think it would be an arch. With the top photo, the "arch" has 2 colors so I would need to have 2 layers, one holding one color and one holding the other color, but as I said I have no idea how to make them and I had no success with the "arc" tool.
In the second photo, it's very difficult to tell, but the left side of the arch is green and the right is a pale yellow so again, I think I would need two archs. The second photo also these tick marks that are at the top of the arch and again, I have no idea how to recreate them.
I'm hoping someone that knows how to make these wouldn't mind putting together a step by step tutorial for me since I'm still a novice with Illustrator. Thanks!!!
In both cases, you may start with concentric circles corresponding to the outer and inner edges of the coloured parts and cut/divide them where the colourings end; you may delete superfluous parts.
You may use radial lines to cut the circles; if you lock everything but the radial lines and the concentric circles to be cut, you may select the lines one by one and Object>Path>Divide Objects below.
After dividing, you may colour the individual parts of the (remaining) circular rings.
In the first one, you may give the tick marks a black stroke and ultimately place the coloured circular strips behind them; the stroke will only be seen on the background of the coloured strips.
... so I would need to have 2 layers...
Not necessarily. Sub-layers in a stack, yes, but for a simple job like this you shouldn't need more than one layer.
It might help to drag ruler guides to mark the centres of your circles before you clip them. This will facilitate the positioning of the tick marks.
Otherwise Jacob and Larry have got it right.
What Larry and Steve said.
Obviously, it is easier to use a simple stroked path.
I was thinking of the precise sizing/positioning, against the outer/inner circle used for the tick marks part, but it is quite easy to adjust the circle size.
You can still put the circular strips behind the tick marks.
Hopefully without getting the tics.
Thanks everyone, I haven't had time to try this out yet but I will. I did try the other day making two circles and moving them close together to get the arch, but had a lot of trouble getting an even gap. I'll be working on it Monday and will you all know how it goes!!
To create a new circle with the same centre as an existing one, you may select the existing circle and Object>Path>Offset with a positve or negative value (to make a larger on or a smaller one).
That will give you two concentric circles, and you may go on.
If you wish to make a simple stroked path that touches an existing path, set the Offset to (+/-) half the desired Stroke Weight.
If you wish to create closed paths based on inner and outer circles, set the Offset to (+/-) half the difference in Width/Height.
In any case, you should keep copies of the circles that determine the tick marks; always keep copies of crucial steps in the creation of artwork, to facilitate/enable editing and further work, like this.
Yes, I will difinitely put up a photo of the finished dials. I've been having some computer problems so it might be a few days. As far as what models these are for...
The top is a 1970 Pontiac and the bottom is a 1970 Camaro.
See ya soon!

Chasing Rainbows
How to predict where a rainbow will be and how to set up your DSLR to photograph it to create dramatic rainbow-scapes
One practical conclusion from all this theory is that, in level country, rainbows can't appear unless the sun's altitude (its angle above the horizon) is less than 42º. At higher solar altitudes, the "rainbow" is below the horizon. In other words, don't bother chasing rainbows at noon. Realistically, you're most likely to see a photogenic rainbow when the sun is less than 20º or so above the horizon. In the mid-latitudes, that means rainbows are most often seen in the last (or first) two hours of the day.
If you can see the shadow of your head, you can quickly estimate where a rainbow will appear using a measuring tool built right into your body. Extend your arms straight out and touch thumb tip to thumb tip. Spread the fingers of both hands as wide as possible, and place the tip of your left little finger on the shadow of your head. Sight toward the tip of your right little finger and scribe an arc in the air, keeping the tip of your left little finger on the shadow of your head. That arc is where a rainbow will appear because, for most people, a double hand span covers an angle of roughly 42º.
Predict, Position And Shoot
Many of the best rainbow photographs show the rainbow arcing up and over something photogenic in its own right. You probably won't have time to move to such a location once a rainbow appears, so you should plan where you want to be in advance. To do that, you need to know where a rainbow will intersect a level horizon. First, determine the direction of the sun. If the sun is visible, measure its bearing with a compass. If it's hidden in clouds, you can consult an app on your smartphone. I like Sun Surveyor (iPhone and Android, _URL_) and The Photographer's Ephemeris (iPhone and Android, _URL_). Or you can consult a printout of sun positions you made before your trip (Figure 3). I like the inexpensive Heavenly-Opportunity software package (Windows, ho.fossilcreeksoft.com).
Figure 3
However you get the sun's position, the next step is to subtract 180º from the sun's bearing. The result is the direction of the antisolar point, or to be more precise, the direction to the point on the horizon directly above the antisolar point (which usually will be below the horizon). Let's call this point the "horizon antisolar point."
If the sun is about to set, the problem is simple. The right limb of the primary bow will intersect the horizon 42º to the right of the horizon antisolar point. The left limb will intersect the horizon 42º left of the horizon antisolar point. This calculation is exact if the sun is right on the horizon and is still a reasonable approximation at any sun altitude less than 10º, or about an hour or less before sunset.

Moving the Offline Folders Cache
by Mitch Tulloch [Published on 14 April 2011 / Last Updated on 10 Feb. 2010]
How do you move the CSC folder to another location on a Windows 7 computer?
How do you move the CSC folder to another location on a Windows 7 computer?
The default location of the Offline Folders cache is %systemroot%\csc. If you need to move this cache to another location on your computer for some reason, follow these steps:
1. Set the following REG_DWORD registry key to a value of 1:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Parameters\MigrationParamters
Doing this ensures that all items in the cache are migrated (the default behavior is to migrate only dirty items).
2. Run the Windows Easy Transfer wizard. Once the data has been scanned, a Customize link is displayed. Click this link and make sure that Windows Settings is checked for all items displayed in the list.
3. Once you have collected the data, set the following String registry key to specify the new cache location:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC\Parameters\CacheLocation
For example, to move the cache to a folder named CSCCache on your D: drive, specify the following value:
\??\D:\CSCCache
4. Now reboot your computer, run the Easy Transfer wizard again and apply the previously gathered files. Then reboot one more time when prompted by the wizard.
If you have feedback concerning this tip, please email me. And be sure to check out my website!

Tesla Motors has launched a voluntary safety recall on two models of its Roadsters after discovering a single instance of a cable in one of the vehicles causing a short-circuit, smoke and possibly a fire behind the right front headlight.
The recall involves a 10-volt low-voltage auxiliary cable that could chafe against a panel and cause a short circuit.
The Palo Alto – based electric-car maker recalled the Roadster 2.0 and 2.5 models, a total of 439 vehicles. The earlier model 1.5, which doesn't have the cable, is unaffected by the recall, as these cars do not include the 12-volt auxiliary cable.
The 12-volt low-voltage auxiliary cable is part of a redundant backup system that provides power to items such as the headlamps, taillights, turn signals, hazard lights and airbags in the unlikely event the primary 12-volt power fails or drops below a minimum threshold value, the company said.
Located forward of the passenger side front wheel behind the headlamp, the cable is physically isolated from the main battery pack at the rear of the car.
Tesla has begun to notify Roadster owners of the defect. The company plans to dispatch its service teams to the homes or offices of owners to complete the needed repair.
That will involve checking the placement of the cable and then installing a protective sleeve over it to keep it from shorting, Tesla said.

Major Section: ACL2 Documentation
Ordered binary decision diagrams (OBDDs, often simply called BDDs) are a technique, originally published by Randy Bryant, for the efficient simplification of Boolean expressions. In ACL2 we combine this technique with rewriting to handle arbitrary ACL2 terms that can represent not only Boolean values, but non-Boolean values as well. In particular, we provide a setting for deciding equality of bit vectors (lists of Boolean values).
Further information about BDDs in ACL2 can be found in the subtopics of this documentation section. In particular, see bdd-introduction for a good starting place that provides a number of examples.
See hints for a description of
:bdd hints. For quick

Working With Multiple Documents
Don Bradbury takes a look at some things you can do using batch processing
Many common applications will let you open more than one file at a time. Having multiple files open can facilitate several common operations, not least when you want to transfer data from one file to another without having to pop the relevant items into a multi-clip buffer such as Clipmate, and paste each clip into the other file.
Say you have two Word documents; the first contains many items that you need in the second, and to save typing them all in again, you simply want to transfer the selected items over to the other file.
First, open Word, then select the File/Open dialogue from its menus in the usual way, point to the first filename and click to select it. Hold down the Ctrl key, point to the second file, and click on that. Select Open and two copies of Word will start, each containing one of your two files. Reduce the size of the word processor's window in each example, and adjust the two windows until one fills the top half of the screen and the second fills the lower half.
Copy or Move
Now you can mark any paragraphs, sentences, or parts thereof in one file and simply drag them to the relevant position in the other file's window. That will move each item.
If you want to preserve the first file in its initial form, you have the choice of either copying (as opposed to moving) each item, by holding down the Ctrl key while you drag them, or clicking on 'No' when you exit the file and are asked if you want to resave that file. Click on 'Yes' when you exit the second file if you want to save the modifications.
You can do much the same sort of thing in Excel or other spreadsheet.s Remember, in this case you are moving or copying to cells rather than lines. You may have one spreadsheet that is a template for others that are to be created later and need to build on the template.
Carefully mark the areas that are to be common to both worksheets before dragging each of them in turn. To be certain of preserving the integrity of the template, you could mark it as read-only so that no changes can be made inadvertently. You can do that by finding the file in Windows Explorer, right clicking on it, selecting Properties and then the General tab, and checking the read-only box. If, later, you need to modify the template itself, then undo the read-only attribute.
When it comes to printing several files, batch processing can save you a lot of PC attendance. Simply locate the files to be printed (in the File/Open dialogue or Windows Explorer), mark them as described, make sure the printer has plenty of paper and ink, and click on Print. While that is progressed automatically, take a well deserved break.

The Public Farm was created to fulfil the need of new players starving to death on the server. With the release of Minecraft v1, animals now rarely spawned in the wild, and instead had to be collected and bred to sustain large numbers. This meant many new players never found a pair to breed (or indeed knew it was necessary), and food became a scarcity.
To help with this, Eltagno, FabulousMrWeed, Gerbster and Xerian1991 constructed a farm, filled with everything players could need, as well as instructions on how to keep the farm running. It was placed on the main Hub network, and can be reached from any hub where it is listed after the 5 main hubs.
Items available at the farm
- Cows - give leather, raw beef and milk.
- Sheep - give wool.
- Pigs - give porkchops.
- Chickens - give feathers, raw chicken and eggs.
- Vines - note that these are actually climbable. Trim from the bottom up to get maximum harvest, and leave the top vines intact.
- Lilypads - can be used to walk on water.
- Wheat - crafts into make bread.
- Melons - give slices that can be crafted into seeds or melons again.
- Trees - give logs, saplings and apples. Harvest only from the tree farm!
Players must remember that to keep the farm viable, they must breed animals before killing them. This is done by holding wheat in your hand and attracting 2 animals of the same type close together. Then right click on each of them (using a single item of wheat on each of them), and they will fall in love. After a short period of time, a baby animal will be born, which will eventually grow into an adult.
If players do not do this, then we run the risk of the livestock dying out entirely.
Players are also asked to replant any crops they take, if applicable.
Vines will regrow automatically (as long as you do not harvest the top vine of a column) and lilypads cannot be regrown (alert a Mod or Admin if the pond is empty).
With melons, once collected, the ground under them must be hoed again (there are hoes in the chest outside by the door).
For wheat, if you are careful and don't tread on the soil, the only thing you must do is replant the seeds. Damaged soil needs to be hoed, and again there are free hoes available. Only harvest fully grown wheat - this guarantees that you will receive seeds and wheat itself. Trees drop saplings, so hang around until you have enough then replant all that you chopped down.

 Hunch is a consumer web application that is building the "taste graph" of the internet, mapping every person on the internet to every entity on the internet and their affinity for that entity. An entity could be a web site, a cookbook, a hotel room, a celebrity, a restaurant, etc.Hunch creates a taste profile by asking them a series of questions which range from serious to profound and subsequently can make recommendations personalized to that user, which live in "topics".Topics vary widely, from entertaining subjects like 'Which superhero would you be' to more conventional questions like 'Should I Switch to A Mac?' The system then uses the answers to these questions to offer the user a suggested solution, a "hunch" of what the user would like.

How To Install Carriage Bolts In 5 Easy Steps
Pulished on Aug. 24, 2021
How To Install Carriage Bolts In 5 Easy Steps
Step 1: Measure the carriage bolts
First, you need to measure the carriage bolt you have chosen.
To do this, find a measurement tap and determine the diameter and length of the bolts you are using.
Step 2: Take the bolt sized drill bit
It is very important to obtain a drill bit the same size as the carriage bolt. If the size does not match, then you may not be able to install the bolts correctly.
If you choose a larger drill bit for drilling, it will cause the bolts to loosen.
And if you choose a smaller one, you can't put the carriage bolts in the holes to fix it. Therefore, determine the exact size of the drill bit in order to drill up this hole.
If you drill holes on a metal surface, you should coat the drill bit with cutting fluid. The coating will help make perforation easier.
Step 3: Use a drill machine to dig a hole
Next, you need to dig a hole in the material where you want to install the carriage bolts. In addition, slowing down the drilling speed can help you control the drilling speed.
Step 4: Use a hammer to insert the bolt into the hole
You can slide the carriage bolt into the hole you drilled. The hole you drilled maybe a bit clogged.
So, in order to avoid the problem of bolts sliding into the holes, you can use a hammer to drive the bolts in.
Tap the bolt lightly with a hammer, and the rest of the work is done.
Step 5: Put in the washer and tighten up the bolt
After placing the bolts in the holes, it is now time to complete the installation of the carriage bolts.
A washer needs to be placed on the reverse side of the bolt and material. Bolt domes and washers must be placed on different sides of the material.
When you have successfully installed the washer, it is time to put the nut on it. Roll over a nut on the bolt and tighten it with a wrench.
The square shoulder on the bolt prevents rotation on the material.
The shoulder helps to keep the carriage bolt firmly on the element and form a strong bond.
The installation guide needs to follow accurately in order to install the carriage bolts on any surface and make the bonding between different parts of the element stronger.
In addition, the placement of carriage bolts should be determined before drilling.
In this way, you can guarantee perfect holes and also make perfect connections between wood or metal parts.

How to use carriage bolts?
It is very common to use carriage bolts when making different types of furniture or machines. These bolts need to be perfectly placed and installed to work properly.
Therefore, the use of bolts is more likely to make the process tighter and bring things together in a stronger way.
Therefore, the use of bolts should be predetermined, if you need it or not.

If I have a matrix $A \in R^{(m \times n)}$ with $m \leq n$. All rows in matrix a are linearly independent and therefore $A$ has a full row rank. I can decompose matrix $A$ such that $A = [B|N]$ with $B \in R^{(m \times m)}$ and $N \in R^{(m \times (n-m))}$
How can the following statement in Griffin, C; p70 be justified, "we know that $B$ is invertible since $A$ has a full row rank". $B$ is invertible as comes from having been constructed from $m$ linearly independent columns Griffin, C; p45. Would it be fair to say that, if a $A$ has full row rank, there will therefore always exist some matrix $B$ such that $A=[B|A]$ with $B$ having linearly independent columns and therefore being invertible?

Yes that is always true. when $m\leq n$ and $A\in\mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ has linearly independent rows.
To be more precise...
The column rank of a matrix A is the maximum number of linearly independent column vectors of A.
The row rank of a matrix A is the maximum number of linearly independent row vectors of A.
Equivalently, the column rank of A is the dimension of the column space of A, while the row rank of A is the dimension of the row space of A.
A result of fundamental importance in linear algebra is that the column rank and the row rank are always equal
Since your matrix has row rank m, you can always find m linearly independent columns. Those columns will compose matrix B you're looking for.
For a more detailed proof check: wikipedia rank of matrix
share|improve this answer
Read page no:45 of that reference.
The author explains how he forms the matrix $A$. $A$ corresponds to a set of linear equations. $B$ corresponds to the $m$ linearly independent columns in set of linear equations, which are then "re-arranged" (which are equivalent to rearranging the linear equations) so that the first $m$ columns of (new) $A$ are linearly independent.
EDIT: op updated his question which is now equivalent to asking if row rank and column rank of matrix is same.
Yes, it is
User epsilon has already pointed out this. A proof which depends only on basic linear algebra is given here and also here

Study analyzes Maine wind power benefits
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — An environmental group says power generation from Maine wind farms is eliminating more than 400,000 metric tons of carbon pollution a year.
Environment Maine on Wednesday released a report that analyzes data from the U.S. Department of Energy and the wind industry to measure the environmental benefits from wind turbines operating in Maine.
The report says the turbines reduce carbon dioxide output by 403,000 metric tons a year, equivalent to the pollution from 79,000 vehicles. It further says the wind farms also reduce the output of smogand soot-forming pollutants, while saving 155 million gallons of water annually.
The group released the analysis to support its position in favor of extending federal tax credits for wind energy that are set to expire at the end of the year.


Borsuk's Conjecture
Karol Borsuk conjectured in 1933 that every bounded set in R^d can be covered by d+1 sets of smaller diameter. Jeff Kahn and I found a counterexample in 1993. It is based on the Frankl-Wilson theorem.
Let \cal G be the set of \pm 1 vectors of length n. Suppose that n=4p and p is a prime, as the conditions of Frankl-Wilson theorem require. Let {\cal G'} = \{(1/\sqrt n)x:x \in {\cal G}\}. All vectors in {\cal G}' are unit vectors.
Consider the set X=\{x \otimes x: x \in {\cal G}'\}. X is a subset of R^{n^2}.
Remark: If x=(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n), regard x\otimes x as the n by n matrix with entries (x_ix_j).
It is easy to verify that:
Claim: <x \otimes x,y\otimes y> = <x,y>^2.
It follows that all vectors in X are unit vectors, and that the inner product between every two of them is nonnegative. The diameter of X is therefore \sqrt 2. (Here we use the fact that the square of the distance between two unit vectors x and y is 2 minus twice their inner product.)
Suppose that Y \subset X has a smaller diameter. Write Y=\{x \otimes x: x \in {\cal F}\} for some subset \cal F of \cal G. This means that Y (and hence also \cal F) does not contain two orthogonal vectors and therefore by the Frankl-Wilson theorem
|{\cal F}| \le U=4({{n} \choose {0}}+{{n}\choose {1}}+\dots+{{n}\choose{p-1}}).
It follows that the number of sets of smaller diameter needed to cover X is at least 2^n / U. This clearly refutes Borsuk's conjecture for large enough n. Sababa.
Let me explain in a few more words how U looks like when n is large. the dominant binomial coefficient in the the sum defining U is {{n} \choose {p-1}}. (Since p=n/4 every binomial coefficient in the sum is smaller than half the next binomial coefficient.) {{n} \choose {p-1}} is smaller than {{n} \choose {n/4}}. When n is large this binomial coefficient equal to 2^{n(H(1/4)+o(1)}, where H is the entropy function. H(1/4)=-(1/4)\log_2(1/4)-(3/4)\log_2(3/4)=0.811.. To verify it and even to get better estimates you can use Stirling's formula.
We will further discuss Borsuk's conjecture and related problems in a later post.
An extremely flattering I was very happy to read a description of the work of Jeff Kahn and me in the context of surprises in mathematics and theoretical computer science can be found in Dick's Lipton's blog.

Q.Plum tree not fruiting
My Victoria plum has loads of leaves but no fruit. It has fruited well previously, but as it is planted in the lawn, I wonder if lawn feed has affected it. Should I clear the grass from around it, and what feed should I use to put this right?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
This article can help with reasons for non-fruiting: _URL_
I think it may definitely be the fertilizer from your lawn, which normally contains lots of nitrogen - this would result in lots of lush foliage growth with little to no blooms or fruit. You can usually offset the nitrogen by adding a phosphorus rich fertilizer, or bone meal, to the soil around your tree. Here is more information: _URL_


Psettichthys melanostictus
 This flatfish undergoes metamorphosis, shifting from a vertical swimmer to a flat bottom-dweller. The sand sole stays small and oval shaped and has plain brown fins. They can weigh as much as 6 lbs (3 kg), and can live 8 years or more. This fish can be found off the coast of California all the way up to the Bering Sea.
 They can be found in a variety of colors, from brown to green and grey, often with dark blotches which help them blend into their surroundings. These flatfish will eat worms, fish, crustaceans, and mollusks.

Mayor Steve Adler of Austin, Texas, has absolutely embraced the invention of what blockchain expertise and crypto funds can convey to his metropolis by proposing two new initiatives.
The primary initiative goals to make sure that Texas's fourth-largest metropolis promotes the advantages of blockchain applied sciences and "promotes fairness, range, accessibility, and inclusion" within the technological ecosystem. To that finish, Could Adler directed the Metropolis Supervisor to discover how the town can make the most of Web3 and blockchain in 20 fields from sensible contracts, provide chain administration, and insurance coverage to arts, media, fundraising, and identification verification.
"The Metropolis Supervisor is directed to make sure the Metropolis helps to create an setting inside metropolis authorities and in the neighborhood typically that helps the creation and improvement of recent applied sciences, together with with out limitation blockchain and different Web3 associated applied sciences, protocols, and functions."
Mayor Adler's second initiative orders the Metropolis Supervisor to conduct a "fact-finding examine" on how the town may undertake Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency-related insurance policies. By means of these efforts, Mayor Adler seems to need to discover methods for Austin residents to legally pay their payments with crypto.
Austin is happy to help the companies and improvements that can flip the guarantees of Web3, cryptocurrency, and blockchain expertise into actuality. Due to @MK6ATX for her decision and @RaffiSapire, @consensus2022, @JoshuaBaer, and @PrestonLJ2 for his or her management! #SXSW _URL_
— Mayor Adler | Get vaccinated! (@MayorAdler) March 11, 2022
Below this initiative, the Metropolis Supervisor ought to discover methods to permit "the acceptance of Bitcoin or different cryptocurrencies as fee for municipal taxes, charges, and penalties" as the primary set of insurance policies to look into.
The success of the 2 initiatives will likely be primarily based on the extent of impact new functions have on the on a regular basis lives of Austin residents. The proposals will likely be voted on by the town's council on March 24.
Austin's Metropolis Council has been contemplating blockchain technological integrations since at the very least 2020 when a proposal was made to make use of sensible contracts for the MyPass identification verification protocol.
Austin is in league with Miami, New York Metropolis, and the state of Colorado in quickly increasing exploration efforts and proposed implementation of insurance policies associated to cryptocurrency. Miami and New York have already launched their own city-wide coin projects by way of Metropolis Coin on the Stacks layer-1 blockchain, whereas Austin's personal program continues to be in improvement.
Philadelphia has expressed interest in joining the Metropolis Cash program, whereas Colorado's Governor Jared Polis stated in a Feb. 15 interview that the state will accept crypto for "state tax-related functions." He later expects to simply accept crypto for a wider array of state authorities companies.

NUTRIENT-RICH PORK: PART OF HEALTHY EATING PATTERNSIn the market place today, lean, nutrient-rich pork is versatile, affordable and accessible. Pork has many beneficial qualities to make pork easy to incorporate into any healthy andbalanced diet.
Source of Key Nutrients: Pork is both a good source of protein and also provides several important vitamins and minerals. A 3-ounce serving of pork is an "excellent" source of thiamin, selenium, protein, niacin, vitamin B6 and phosphorus, and a "good" source of riboflavin, zinc, and potassium.
Lean Protein: Today's pork is 16% leaner and 27% lower in saturated fat compared to20 years ago. Seven cuts of pork meet the USDA guidelines for "lean" by containing less than 10 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat and 95 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams of meat. Popular pork tenderloin has the same amount of fat as a skinless chicken breast.
Heart-Healthy: Pork is naturally low in sodium and a "good" source of potassium – two nutrients that, when coupled, can help regulate blood pressure. Pork tenderloin is certified as heart-healthy by the American Heart Association with its heart-check mark, indicating that it contains less than 6.5 grams of fat, 1 gram or less of saturated fat (and 15% or less calories from saturated fat) and 480 milligrams or less of sodium per label serving, among other criteria.

CopyToOpenPrinter
Unit:SDL_plot3d
Class:TPlot3D
Declaration:procedure CopyToOpenPrinter (var x,y: integer; ScaleF: double; BlkWhite, IncludeFrame: boolean);
The method CopyToOpenPrinter is a more flexible alternative to the method PrintIt. It provides a way to create a graphical output on the currently selected printer. You may change the selected printer by assigning a proper value to the PrinterIndex property of the Printer object before calling CopyToOpenPrinter. In contrast to PrintIt, the user has to take care by himself that the printer object is already open for receiving data. This can be accomplished either by the method Printer.BeginDoc (see Delphi manual for details), or by assigning the printer output to a text file (Delphi procedure AssignPrn).
The variable parameters x and y contain the coordinates of the upper left corner of the plot in printer coordinates on entry of the routine, and return the printer coordinates of the lower right corner of the plot after the method has been finished. This feature can be used to combine several hardcopies on one page, since the x- and y-values after a first hardcopy can be partly used as inputs of the next hardcopy.
The parameter ScaleF determines the magnification factor of the printout. A factor of 1.0 creates an output which has roughly the size of the screen image. If the parameter BlkWhite is set to TRUE, the colors of the plot are suppressed and the plot is printed in black and white. This is normally the best way to proceed with B&W printers. The parameter IncludeFrame determines whether the frame of the component is included in the printout.
Example: The following code snippet shows a short example how to mix several graphics and some text on one printer page.

if PrinterDialog1.Execute then
 begin
 Printer.Title := 'Test';
 Printer.BeginDoc;
 Printer.Canvas.TextOut (300,180,'This is some text');
 Printer.Canvas.TextOut (300,380,'Another text line');
 x := 100;
 y := 520;
 Plot3D1.CopyToOpenPrinter (x,y, 0.8, true); { the first plot }
 Printer.Canvas.TextOut (300,y+50,'Yet another line of text');
 x := 300;
 y := y+280;
 Plot3D1.CopyToOpenPrinter (x,y, 0.4, true); { the second plot }
 Printer.EndDoc;
 end;
Hint: When printing to Adobe Distiller, release 7.0 or later, you have to specify the property Title of the printer (Printer.Title = 'Any Title'), otherwise the Adobe printer driver will crash.

Witnessing practices of resistance, resilience and kinship in childbirth: a collective narrative project— Phoebe Barton
This article explores the in uence of sociocultural narratives on stories of birth, and the use of individual and collective narrative practices in responding to these stories. It emerged from a research project that included 12-recorded conversations with individuals and couples about their experiences of birth. The article describes narrative practices used in these conversations, including: re-authoring and the development of alternative storylines, particularly in response to stories of grief and regret about birth; deconstructing and externalising the context and narratives of birth, turning the gaze back onto structural or systemic issues rather than those at their affect; re-membering and strengthening stories of membership and connection during pregnancy, birth and early parenting; and the absent but implicit, including pain as testimony. The article discusses the methodology and ethics of a collective narrative project that included the production of a document that elevates the insider knowledges of storytellers about their experiences of birth.

A Spiking Self-Organising Map Combining STDP, Oscillations and Continuous Learning
MetadataShow full item record
The self-organizing map (SOM) is a neural network algorithm to create topographically ordered spatial representations of an input data set using unsupervised learning. The SOM algorithm is inspired by the feature maps found in mammalian cortices but lacks some important functional properties of its biological equivalents. Neurons have no direct access to global information, transmit information through spikes and may be using phasic coding of spike times within synchronized oscillations, receive continuous input from the environment, do not necessarily alter network properties such as learning rate and lateral connectivity throughout training, and learn through relative timing of action potentials across a synaptic connection. In this paper, a network of integrate-and-fire neurons is presented that incorporates solutions to each of these issues through the neuron model and network structure. Results of the simulated experiments assessing map formation using artificial data as well as the Iris and Wisconsin Breast Cancer datasets show that this novel implementation maintains fundamental properties of the conventional SOM, thereby representing a significant step toward further understanding of the self-organizational properties of the brain while providing an additional method for implementing SOMs that can be utilized for future modeling in software or special purpose spiking neuron hardware.

Although they are
Only breath, words
which I command
In her memoir Assault on Mount Helicon, Mary Barnard '32 writes that while working on her translation of the Greek poet Sappho, "I searched for the truly equivalent phrase in living, not lexicon English." This brief but telling remark helps explain why her translation of Sappho's poetry has been continuously in print for more than 40 years and has sold more than 100,000 copies. Barnard has taken the fragmentary remains of one of antiquity's greatest poets and made them live and breathe for a modern audience.
Only a few things are known for certain about Sappho. She was born on the Greek island of Lesbos sometime after 650 B.C. and wrote poetry in the Aeolic Greek dialect. She was one of the most famous Greek lyric poets, and a poem attributed to Plato praises her as the tenth Muse. Her poetry was collected later in antiquity into nine books. Only one complete poem and fewer than 200 fragments of her poems remain today. The majority of the fragments were preserved as brief quotations in the works of later Greek writers, with a few others surviving on badly damaged papyrus rolls from Egypt.

A new investigation could end many of the speculations about the works of El Greco and the man himself. A hand-written annotation to a book, similar to the glosses of Saint Emilianus, found in Spain in a copy of Lives of the most excellent architects, painters and sculptors by Giorgio Vasari, has led Nicos Hadjinicolau, a researcher from the Institute of Mediterranean Studies, to conclude that the artist – contrary to popular belief– was a defender of Byzantine art.
Hadjinicolau says there are no other records of the painter's critical opinion on the art form aside from the hand-written annotation attributed to him. "The passage I have studied is the exception to the rule, the only time that he makes a comment – and a spirited one – against Vasari," the expert tells SINC.
A literal translation of the note attributed to the painter reads: "If [Vasari] really knew the nature of the Greek style of which he speaks, he would deal with it differently in what he says. He compares it with Giotto, but what Giotto did is simple in comparison, because the Greek style is full of ingenious difficulties."

Assessing the significance of global and local correlations under spatial autocorrelation: A nonparametric approach
Authors
Summary
We propose a method to test the correlation of two random fields when they are both spatially autocorrelated. In this scenario, the assumption of independence for the pair of observations in the standard test does not hold, and as a result we reject in many cases where there is no effect (the precision of the null distribution is overestimated). Our method recovers the null distribution taking into account the autocorrelation. It uses Monte-Carlo methods, and focuses on permuting, and then smoothing and scaling one of the variables to destroy the correlation with the other, while maintaining at the same time the initial autocorrelation. With this simulation model, any test based on the independence of two (or more) random fields can be constructed. This research was motivated by a project in biodiversity and conservation in the Biology Department at Stanford University.

|Roatan: Summer 2012 - Day 2
Day Two: Check out dive
For most of the students, today was their first open-water ocean diving experience and it went very well. After breakfast everyone gathered for the pre-dive briefing and skills check (mask flooding and regulator clearing), then we headed out to the reef. We worked on buoyance control and making sure everyone's ears would clear. The checkout dive went well and all the students were excited to do a second dive after lunch. During the lunch break, everyone got to see the dolphin show going on right outside their rooms (put on by the marine lab). Then we headed out for our second dive where we worked on coral identification. The group got to see a nurse shark, three turtles, a large grouper eating a lobster, and lots of species of coral. Before dinner Jennifer (the marine labs director) gave a talk on Reef Monitoring techniques and then after dinner the students were treated to a stimulating lecture on the history of coral reefs.

Forecast shows Eastern Wash. water demand to grow
Wednesday, September 7, 2011
RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) -- A preliminary report shows that agricultural and municipal water demands in the Columbia River basin are likely to increase more than water supplies over the next 20 years.
The increased demand can be attributed to influences of climate change, population growth and economic trends.
The state Department of Ecology is conducting three workshops this week to discuss the report that was required by the Legislature under a 2006 bill that appropriated $200 million to improve water storage and conservation. A final report is due to lawmakers in November.
Farmers and other water users in Thursday's meeting in Richland said they believe the report should better reflect the positive economic impacts, such as job creation, from increasing water use.

A moat is a body of
water around a
town to keep people out. At first, moats were simple and used only for protection. Later on, moats became more complicated and were used for show.
Moats are deep, wide
ditches filled with water. They were usually built near sources of water that flowed into the moats, filling them with water. The moats were filled with water for a few reasons. It made enemies swimming across the moat easy targets. It also made it impossible for enemies to dig underneath the castle walls, which was a common method of attack. It also prevented
fires from destroying the castle.

What is Sukuk?
Sukuk (plural of sakk, which is the Arabic word for certificate) is defined as certificates representing a proportional and undivided ownership right in tangible assets, a pool of predominantly tangible assets, or a business venture. These assets must be in a specific project or in investment activities that comply with shari'ah rules and principles. it is the Islamic equivalent of securities or bonds in the conventional system.
Difference between Sukuk and Bond
Bonds are certificates of debt owed by the issuer, whereas sukuk are instruments that represent a proportionate and undivided ownership right over the asset in which the funds are being invested.
- Sukuk can only be issued for specific shari'ah-compliant purposes and shari'ah-compliant assets, whereas bonds can be issued for general unspecified purposes
- Sukuk are based on the real underlying asset; therefore, the income must be related to the purpose for which the funding is used.
- In the case of sukuk, investors have ownership claims on the specific assets or the underlying business venture, whereas in bonds they have general creditors' claim on the issuer.
- It cannot be traded in the secondary market unless the underlying assets represented by the certificate comprise the majority of real assets and financial rights.
Structures of Sukuk
It nvolves the physical ownership rights in the underlying assets or in the form of usufruct of such assets. This structure needs to meet the requirements set by a recognized external credit assessment institution (ECAI) for being an asset-backed structure. This structure exposes the sukuk holders to losses in case of the impairment of the assets.
According to this structure, the issuer purchases the assets and then leases them on behalf of the investors, using the funds received from the issued sukuk notes. In most cases, this structure takes the form of a sale-lease to the originator and backed by the issuer, with a binding purchase undertaking from the originator on the asset at maturity. The credit risk in this structure lies within the originator subject to any shari'ah-compliant credit enhancement by the issuer. The payment schedule of the repurchase undertaking and the capability of the originator to make the schedule payment to the issuer has weight in determining the credit rating by the ECSI. In case of default, in this type of structure, the holders need to have a right of recourse to the originator because the ownership rights over the underlying asset may not reliably result in an effective right of possession. Because the income of the asset is paid through the issuer to the investors, this type of structure is in some cases referred to as pay-through.
Pass-through asset-based structure
In this structure, a separate issuing entity purchases the underlying assets from the originator and packages them into a pool and acts as the issuer of the sukuk. This issuer requires the originator to provide recourse for the asset to the sukuk holder. In case of default by the originator, the issuer guarantees repayment by providing shari'ah-compliant credit enhancement.


Which degrees does HIM offer
Graduate engineer: Which universities offer the title?
Despite the switch to the Bachelor's and Master's degrees, the graduate engineer enjoys a very good reputation. Several universities in Germany offer the Dipl.-Ing. therefore still or again on.

Content of this article about the graduate engineer:
 1. The current situation in Germany
 2. The start of the Bologna Process
 3. Which degree should you choose?
 4. List of all diploma courses
There is a lot to consider for prospective engineers when choosing a course of study. The situation used to be relatively simple. School leavers have decided on a subject - for example electrical engineering or mechanical engineering - and in the end the graduate engineer was on their diploma. In the meantime, these relatively manageable paths have turned into a complicated network of streets and junctions in a figurative sense. Because the focus is now on the bachelor's degrees, on which a master's can be saddled. Only this is the equivalent of a graduate engineer. Until then, however, numerous combinations are possible, so that many students find it difficult to decide on the content of the exact subject.
It is made even more complicated by the option of continuing to work as a graduate engineer, i.e. a graduate engineer. instead of an M.Sc. or an M.Eng. to become. Some universities offer diploma courses as an alternative to the bachelor's degree programs followed by a master's degree. At other universities, students can add a few more semesters to a Bachelor's degree in order to acquire the title of qualified engineer. Young engineering candidates can also become qualified engineers in distance learning and part-time. That poses difficult questions for budding engineers. You not only have to decide on a subject and a focus area, but also weigh up whether the academic title Bachelor, Master or Diploma most closely matches your professional goals.
European higher education reform: Bachelor's and Master's degrees instead of a graduate engineer
The reason for the different offer of degrees is the Bologna process, which 29 European education ministers started in 1999 in the Italian city of Bologna. Its aim was to harmonize the European university degrees, on the one hand to ensure better comparability and to make it easier to switch between universities internationally. On the other hand, the uniform system for performance evaluation - the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) - should serve quality assurance. The change immediately called on critics who criticized the school-based system of study programs, which left little room for personal initiative and was too heavily burdened with exams. In the engineering sciences, another fear also came to fruition: the industry would lose the graduate engineer, whose title was almost a trademark abroad.
A number of universities have therefore decided to continue to offer the graduate engineer - parallel to the internationally required bachelor's or master's degrees. Others reintroduced it after a transitional period. Incidentally, the universities are not free to make their own decisions. In Germany, the so-called cultural sovereignty of the countries prevails. The possibility of becoming a graduate engineer must therefore be anchored in the higher education law of the respective federal state.
What degree should prospective engineers aim for?
However, the question of which path the prospective student should choose cannot be answered with all this information. Because there are no statistics available that would provide information on whether a qualified engineer has better career opportunities than an engineer with a bachelor's or master's degree. After all, many factors decide about the allocation of attractive positions, including the exact professional orientation, any additional qualifications, soft skills, practical experience, possibly previous stages in the career and, last but not least, the appearance and personality of the applicant. The job market for engineers also looks very good. Accordingly, you can also apply for positions abroad, regardless of whether you have a Dipl.-Ing. on their business card or an alternative qualification.
A Decision support however, it can be the structure of the course itself. Because the diploma degree is comparable to the master's degree, but it is a single continuous course of study. In plain language this means: After completing their bachelor's degree, students have to decide which master's degree they want to take at which university. In some cases, however, it is not possible to continue studying immediately after completing a bachelor's degree because, for example, there is no free place in the desired master's degree, so that some students have to wait a semester before they can start their master's. This time gap is eliminated from the start with a diploma course - and can be an advantage for students who do not want to be satisfied with a bachelor's degree.
Another argument could be the structure or the evaluation system within the courses. Because with a diploma course - unlike with a bachelor's or later master's - the grades or credit points are not included in the later final grade from the first semester. So there is a kind of orientation phase in which a slip does not affect the conclusion. On the other hand, there are proponents of bachelor's and master's degrees who consider the designation graduate engineer to be obsolete and incompatible with a modern study structure
There are also good arguments for the strict, school-based seminar system of a Bachelor's degree. It gives young people in particular an orientation early on, requires a lot of discipline and ends earlier. B.Eng graduates can invest the time gained in practical experience. Exactly the path that the Bologna Process once envisaged. The bottom line is that school leavers have to decide individually whether they want to choose a bachelor's degree followed by a master's degree or whether they want to become a graduate engineer.
List of courses leading to a Dipl.-Ing. or graduate engineer (FH)
The university landscape is constantly changing. Ingenieur.de therefore does not accept any liability for the following list. Please inquire in detail at the respective university about the diploma courses offered.
At the Technical University of Chemnitz A degree in engineering is offered in which students can obtain a degree in engineering:

 1. Automobile production
 2. Electrical engineering
 3. Building, energy and air conditioning technology
 4. Industrial Management and Engineering


It's the new, hot trend in Latin America: Families with money are equipping their vehicles with bullet-proof windows so they can keep their families safe.
"In Latin American countries from Brazil to Mexico, the affluent are increasingly shielding their cars as a precaution against violence that has thrived due to weak police forces, easy access to guns and young, unemployed men on the lookout for lucrative targets," says a Fox Latino report.
Trying to improve their odds against crime, violence and kidnappings, the report says that Venezuela's wealthy have poured money into security. The number of bodyguards has grown an estimated 70 percent in the past five years, and it's common to see the children of wealthy businesspeople shuttled to school by armed chauffeurs, the report says.
Colombia was a pioneer in producing armored cars due to a long-running rebel conflict and drug violence, the report says, but now, Venezuela surpasses Colombia in the number of armored cars produced each year.
In Brazil, sales have risen from 3,045 vehicles in 2004 to 7,332 in 2010, according to the Brazilian Armoring Association. It says that about 85 percent of Brazilian clients are business executives and that fears of street crime are driving the increase.
In Mexico, says the report, an estimated 2,300 cars will be armored this year, compared to 1,200 in 2007.

Close your eyes, breathe in deeply, now exhale slowly… That was easy, wasn't it? Not for everyone…
This week's column will help you in selecting the right color foundation for your skin undertones. There are three categories of undertones that a person can fall into: red, yellow, and olive. To determine what undertone you are, you must first look at the undertones of your selected foundation. Pour out some foundation onto a plate or even your hand, and spread it. You're not focusing on how light or dark the shade is; you're focusing to see what the base color of the foundation is. You'll most likely see a red or yellow color in the depths of the foundation. Only a couple of companies make foundation with a green undertone in it. Therefore, chances are, if you have an olive undertone, you may have to find and add a green color corrector into a yellow-based foundation, so you don't end up looking jaundice.
Now for the test: take a drop of the foundation on the plate, dip your finger into it, and rub a small strip onto the inner part of your arm. Again, don't worry if the color is the deepest shade. After gently rubbing it in, does it look like the color would "disappear" into the arm had the shade been the right one? If you notice after testing a color that it is yellow and just sits there, you probably have a red undertone, and vice versa.
Now that you've determined what undertone you are, choose the shade or shades closest to the skin on your face as your eyes perceive it. Swipe the shade you feel is closest to your skin on the side of your jawline and neck – if the color completely disappears into your neck, then that's your color. You want the color to "disappear" into the neck so there is no line of demarcation and no need to apply foundation past your face area. Another suggestion: while you are in the store doing a swatch test, go outside with a mirror and look at your face in the natural light (not direct sunlight) – this will help you see if the color is a true match or a shade too light or too dark.

Many of my clients have small eyes. Often, they ask for certain color eye shadow or even a style that would not make the eye appear larger, but would actually make it appear smaller. In this week's column I'd like to give tips on how to make small eyes appear "larger."
I am in my late 20's and have heavy lids and small bags under my eyes. As I am still young and get plenty of rest, doctors have told me that it is genetic. My trouble with concealing the bags is not with the coloring (like people with dark circles) as much as it is with how to make the bags look smaller or less puffy and my eyes bigger. What are your suggestions?

Which lipsticks will last throughout Shabbos is a common question I am asked. In fact, many women share this common problem where the lip color just "slides" right off within a few hours. There are a few products on the market that are formulated to last from 8-18 hours, and many of them can be purchased at your local drug store. Covergirl, Maybelline and L'Oreal all make long lasting lip color that can be found at drug stores.
What's so special about airbrush makeup? Is this a new technique in makeup application? These are a couple of questions I commonly get from my readers and clients. Airbrush makeup application has been used in Hollywood on models and actors for over 30 years. For approximately ten years, makeup artists have been using this on brides, businesswomen, or anyone that wants to look great for an event.
Blush is an important final step in your makeup application. Blush brings a glow to the face, as if a candle was lit from within. Many blushes come in powder form, but they also come in cream form, which is the form I'll discuss today. One of my favorite blushes is the MAC cream blush. The blush is very lightweight and gives off a nice dewy look – a look that is especially suitable to those with dry skin, since dry skin gives off a very dull, matte look.
When applying make-up most people focus on the eyes or lips, and sometimes forget to give attention to the eyebrows. Your brows can open up your eyes and face, and can also make you appear younger, so be sure to give them as much attention as you would your eyes and lips.
I have very prominent eyes; I was wondering what color and or style of makeup would suit me? I have dark brown hair and brown eyes, and medium-deep skin tone. I rarely put on makeup and if I do, it's only on my eyes. I am looking forward to reading your suggestions.
