Availability Float
DEFINITION of 'Availability Float'
The time period between when a deposit is made and when the funds become available in an account, specifically relating to check deposits. The availability float exists because banks have to process physical checks before releasing funds, meaning that the depositor has to wait before funds appears in a bank account. Companies can reduce an availability float by moving to an electronic payment system, as this reduces the reliance on a bank's processing speed on physical checks.
The difference between the availability float and a payment float is referred to as the net float.
For example, a printing company has $50,000 deposited in a bank and is owed $10,000 by one of its clients. The printing company cashes the $10,000 check and adjusts its ledgers to indicate that it has $60,000. Until the deposit is complete, the printing company's bank account will still show it has $50,000 available. The $10,000 is the availability float.

Adding Custom CSS To Show Form Submit Process
When a Form submits, it can take a moment to make the requests it needs. Here's how you can use CSS to show submission progress.
When a Form submits, it can take a moment to make the requests it needs. This is especially true with eCommerce Forms which need to make multiple requests for security reasons.
This Article will explain how you can use CSS to show submission progress and let the User know your Form is still submitting without errors.
The CSS Class
When you submit a Form, the HTML Form element has two class names added to it:
- "form_x_submitting" where x represents the ID of the Form in Admin
These classes should be removed if the Form is interrupted by a valid error, e.g. validation errors, so targeting one of these classes should tell you that the Form is busy submitting and the User should wait for completion.
The Simplest Example
In this example, we'll use CSS to select all Forms that are busy submitting globally. You may choose to select particular Forms differently.
A More Complex Example
In this example, a spinner icon has been added to the Form Layout in advance:
The CSS demonstrates how Front-End CSS is used to achieve a different effect:

Pecos Watershed Conservation Initiative
The Pecos Watershed Conservation Initiative supports conservation projects in the Pecos River Watershed, which extends from eastern New Mexico into West Texas, and comprises a large portion of the energy-rich Permian Basin. The initiative identifies strategic conservation opportunities and works to enhance and restore the natural resources and wildlife habitat in the region.
The Pecos River winds more than 900 miles from its headwaters in the ponderosa pine forests of northern New Mexico through the Chihuahuan Desert grasslands of southeastern New Mexico and West Texas. The river supports some of the most biodiverse arid and semiarid ecosystems in the world. These ecosystems play host to a large number of fish and other aquatic species found nowhere else.
The habitats dependent on the Pecos River and its tributaries maintain a precarious existence as development, invasive species and unintended consequences of land management choices fragment the landscape, allow for encroachment by invasive species and strain scarce water resources.
Native grasslands that historically covered a vast amount of the region have dwindled to just a fraction of their former extent and productivity. This puts pressure not only on the hardy wildlife that inhabit those areas, such as pronghorn and migratory birds, but also on working ranches that need high-quality forage.
The Pecos Watershed Conservation Initiative will:
- Strengthen the health of existing habitats along the Pecos River and its tributaries in eastern New Mexico and West Texas
- Protect some of the last remaining populations of native fish and other aquatic species found only in the Chihuahuan Desert
- Improve the management and function of native grasslands
- Address water quality and scarcity concerns for wildlife and agricultural uses
- Identify opportunities to expand species to areas of their range where they have been lost, or bolster small remnant populations

Real financial cost of visual impairment worldwide in 2010.
Every 5 seconds, a person in the world goes blind.
Visual impairment is a significant health problem across the globe. Although 80% of visual impairment is preventable, for the 40 million blind people across the globe, prevention is no longer the cure (World Health Organization, 2002).
The financial cost in New Zealand itself amounts up to $2.8 billion, or $22,217 per person with vision loss aged over 40 (RNZFB, 2009). Wellbeing, healthcare, productivity and deadweight losses are part of the economic cost for vision loss.
With the loss of sight, many people have to accommodate for a significant change of lifestyle. Compared to people who are sighted, people with vision loss experience:

An experimental investigation of water lubricated electroplated nanocomposite coatings
This source preferred by Zulfiqar Khan
Authors: Bajwa, R., Khan, Z., Bakolas, V. and Braun, W.
Start date: 17 May 2015
This paper presents test rig modification to conduct ball-on-disk rolling contact bench testing. High Speed Microprocessor Rotary Tribometer was modified to accommodate ball-on-disk assembly with upper coated disc and three lower balls disc system. The modified version of HSMRT provided bench testing techniques to simulate industrial applications in terms of rolling contacts. The modified test rig also housed water lubrication facility allowing variable water characteristics such as salinity to simulate marine and/or fluvial environments. Pure nickel and nickel composite alumina reinforcement nano-particles (~50nm) were coated (~10µm in thickness) over steel substrate (80mm in diameter) through pulse electro-deposition techniques. Rolling contact ball-on-disc tests were conducted to assess wear behaviour of these coatings subject to water lubrication. Surface morphology of pure nickel and nickel nanocomposite coatings were examined using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The wear analysis and surface mapping of coatings were conducted through 3D white light interferometry.

Scots don't eat well, but that doesn't mean that they don't care about their health. They have some of the best food in the world. Salmon, venison, and eel are plentiful, as are the seas. But while most people in Scotland have nothing more than boiled vegetables, many Scots have a diet full of lard, sugar, salt, and fried potatoes.
One of the reasons why Scottish food has a bad reputation in the United States is the poor quality of its food. Most Scots are not aware of the number of nutrients and vitamins that they should consume, so they often eat fast foods. This has led to a huge epidemic of obesity and malnutrition. Fortunately, the Scottish are beginning to take action. The government has published a new report that highlights the importance of healthy eating.
While it may seem odd to associate the Scottish word "haggis" with the word "haggis," it has a good reputation, particularly in America. For example, haggis is a staple in American restaurants. But while it has a bad reputation, Scottish cuisine is changing – and the country is proving it to us. Those who are skeptical about the culinary tradition will have to make their own discoveries to get a taste of what's in a Scottish meal.
The poor quality of Scottish food can be traced back to the feudal system. During the first millennium, Scottish food was heavily restricted. The great men of the realm ate venison, boar, various fowl, and songbirds. This cheap sugar also helped fuel a cottage industry, where Sweetie Wives bought bulk sugar, boiled it into homemade sweets, and sold them at local markets. It is possible that the cold climate is partly responsible for this sugar-hungry culture, as it has a pronounced effect on the body.
Even though the Scottish have a notoriously poor reputation when it comes to food, things are changing. The Scottish national dish haggis has earned iconic status as the symbol of Scotland. But it is not just haggis that is bad. There are plenty of other tasty foods in Scotland that are not so bad. For instance, the popular black pudding and savory haggis are both good for you. Moreover, the Scottish are proud of their culture, and their culture.
However, the overall quality of Scottish food is still good despite its reputation. The high calorific value of the Scottish diet has made the nation's population sick, so it is vital that we eat healthily. But Scottish people – no matter how much they scoff at their food – have little to celebrate. And yet, the food in Scotland is generally bad for our health. In addition, the English are more likely to eat more red meat and processed meat than the Scots, which is not a good thing.
The Scottish diet has been notorious for decades. The British have long blamed it on the British for eating Scots' greasy and unhealthy foods. It has been said that the Scottish are not fit for eating. Besides, their poor diet is detrimental to their health. They are not able to enjoy the food they love. They should avoid all types of Scottish food, especially the ones made in Scotland. Nevertheless, the English have a hard time understanding why Scottish food is so terrible.
The Scottish diet is notorious for being unhealthy. It is associated with smoking and a sedentary lifestyle and is linked to a high-fat diet. The Scottish are also at risk for cancer. In addition to its unhealthy qualities, the Scottish are known for being among the healthiest people in Europe. Its dietary habits are often influenced by a person's age, but if they're in good health, they can survive without smoking.
The Scottish diet is not healthy. Studies have found that the average Scottish diet is low in vegetables, fruits, and cereals. Most of the Scottish population eats foods rich in sugar, such as chocolate and fatty meat products. Furthermore, they don't exercise, which makes them more likely to develop diseases. So, it's no wonder why they're not eating well. The answer might surprise you! This is largely down to the lack of local businesses, but they don't make much money.


text: The hyper-emotion theory attributes psychological illnesses to emotions of aberrant intensity, which in turn prompt better reasoning about their causes. Two experiments in which participants drew their own conclusions from syllogistic premises tested this prediction. Individuals from the same populations as the experimental participants rated the believability of likely conclusions. One experiment compared patients with depression with controls, and the other experiment compared students scoring high on anxiety with controls. Controls tended to draw believable conclusions and not to draw unbelievable conclusions, and this belief bias was greater for invalid inferences. The clinical groups were better reasoners than the controls, and did not show belief bias. As our hypothesis predicted, they drew many more valid conclusions concerning their illness than controls drew valid believable conclusions. But, contrary to the hypothesis, they refrained from drawing invalid conclusions about neutral topics more than controls refrained from drawing invalid unbelievable conclusions.

Description
This example requires two buttons that are long enough to accommodate lengthy captions on a form. When you click the button with the caption Ignore Messages, the code begins to generate a long series of random numbers. If you try to resize the form while the handler is running, nothing happens until the handler is finished. When you click the button with the caption Process Messages, more random numbers are generated, but the application can still respond to a series of events, such as resizing the form and printing text. Note: How quickly these event handlers run depends on the microprocessor of your computer. A message appears on the form informing you when the handler has finished executing.
Code
const magicnumber = 500;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
 Button1.Caption := 'Ignore Messages';
 Button2.Caption := 'Process Messages';
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);

Mignify is a platform for collecting, storing and analyzing Big Data harvested from the web. It aims at providing an easy access to focused and structured information extracted from Web data flows. It consists of a distributed crawler, a resource-oriented storage based on HDFS and HBase, and an extraction framework that produces filtered, enriched, and aggregated data from large document collections, including the temporal aspect. The whole system is deployed in an innovative hardware architecture comprising of a high number of small (low-consumption) nodes. This talk will tackle the decisions made along the design and development of the platform, both under a technical and functional perspective. It will introduce the cloud infrastructure, the LTE-like ingestion of the crawler output into HBase/HDFS, and the triggering mechanism of analytics based on a declarative filter/extraction specification. The design choices will be illustrated with a pilot application targeting Daily Web Monitoring in the context of a national domain.

What we call the "fixed stars" (as opposed to planets, known in antiquity as the "wanderers" because they moved across the sky from the vantage point of ancient humans) are actually not so fixed. Although they appear in the same position in the sky, their apparent motion does shift by about 50 seconds of arc per year.
Regulus, the star associated with royalty, is also called "The heart of the Lion" because of its placement in the center of the Leo star system. But Regulus is moving into Virgo for the first time since around 200 bce, creating a major shift of star energy.
The exact time of this shift is in dispute. Solar Fire, an astrology software program used by many professional astrologers (including me) lists the entry of Regulus into Virgo in early 2011 – others say that this shift will occur in 2012, conveniently linking the transition of Regulus to the 2012 hysteria. In any case, a shift of this magnitude typically doesn't happen overnight but occurs slowly over time.
Leo is a "masculine" sign – yang and full of energy and enthusiasm, it tends to be concerned with issues of power and dominance and much more forceful than Virgo. Virgo is much more reticent and desirous of order and safety, so the movement of Regulus into Virgo could change the way in which the Earth has been ruled for the past 2000 years. Virgo is said to be a "feminine" sign, yin and receptive, so it was interesting to see that in Britain the law of succession may be changed so that women who are the first born can inherit the crown, even if there are male heirs.
All of this occurs under the larger umbrella of the shift into the Aquarian Age, but it does add an interesting layer of changing focus to be studied.

text: English: occupational name for a scribe or secretary, originally a member of a minor religious order who undertook such duties. The word clerc denoted a member of a religious order, from Old English cler(e)c 'priest', reinforced by Old French clerc. Both are from Late Latin clericus, from Greek klērikos, a derivative of klēros 'inheritance', 'legacy', with reference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy) 'whose inheritance was the Lord'. In medieval Christian Europe, clergy in minor orders were permitted to marry and so found families; thus the surname could become established. In the Middle Ages it was virtually only members of religious orders who learned to read and write, so that the term clerk came to denote any literate man.

Notes on Cultural Competence
The key to international business negotiations with Thailand can be
summarized in one word: Patience.
-John Paul Fieg, A Common Core:
Thais and Americans.
Thais respect hierarchical relationships, as such rank is always respected and social relationships are
defined as one person being superior to the other (in terms of occupational status, age, family role,
gender, etc.) As such, parents are superior to their children, teachers to their students, and bosses to their
subordinates. The eldest person in the group is always revered.
Thais DO NOT normally shake hands when they greet one another, but instead press the palms
together in a prayer-like gesture called a wai. Generally, a younger person wais an elder, who
returns it. Watch how the Thais do it, and you will soon learn.
Never return the gesture to children, wait staff, clerks, or other people of lower rank. Simply
smile and nod in response.
Thais always introduce people of lower rank first..
Titles and rank are important. When possible, address Thais by title and first name.
Acceptable topics of conversation:
o Family, but only after you've developed a relationship (avoid complimenting

Learn to Troubleshooting HVAC Units
Hvac units troubleshooting part 1
The superheat temperature tells us if there is excessive or inadequate refrigerant in the low side of the hvac units. Anything which adds heat to the evaporator coil will boil off more of the refrigerant, thereby increasing the superheat.
Conversely, anything which interferes with the coil's ability to absorb heat will lower the superheat, possibly flooding the compressor.
For this reason we check the evaporator fan motor and coil before measuring the superheat and recheck the superheat after reaching design space temperature.
Since we are following this HVAC troubleshooting process, we have visually determined that the airflow through the evaporator is adequate. Is it, really? Let's test to confirm evaporator airflow.
Measure the temperature of the air entering the evaporator and the air leaving the evaporator. If the airflow is inadequate, the evaporating temperature is lower than design and the slower moving air has more time to cool, so the temperature difference across the coil is greater.
If the difference between entering air and leaving air is more than 20°F, the airflow is inadequate. Note: Colder air leaving the evaporator means less refrigeration, not more.
One way to check air flow across the evaporator is to put the hvac units in the heat mode and raise the thermostat to a point that will bring the heat on. Place the fan switch in the on position.
This should place the fan motor in the high speed setting if the motor is variable speed. Next measure the temperature rise across the heat exchange. Find the BTUH output on the furnace name tag. Insert the known values in the following formula to solve for CFM. CFM = BTUH/(1.08 x ∆T)
For example, if the furnace is rated 100,000 BTUH output and the actual temperature rise is 50 °F, the CFM would be 100,000/(1.08 x 50) = 1852
If you are working with resistance heat, you can convert the Kw of resistance heat to BTU by multiplying the Kw x 3.414 BTU/KW. For example, 10 Kw X 3.414 BTU/Kw = 10,000 X 3.414 = 34,414 BTU'S.
How much air is too much and how much is too little? Most furnaces have a design temperature rise noted on the nameplate for heating. For example, one may see a range of 35° - 36° on the nameplate.
This means that at maximum air flow in the heating mode the temperature rise would be 35°F and at minimum flow it would be 65°F.
For air conditioning, the air flow through the furnace should be close to or above the maximum heating air flow. A good rule of thumb for air conditioning air flow through the evaporator is 400 CFM per ton of refrigeration.
Conditioned Space Temperatures
Warm air flowing through the evaporator coil increases its ability to absorb heat and therefore increases its capacity. When the conditioned space temperature is above its design temperature range we must expect the superheat temperature to be higher than normal.
This is particularly true on cap tube ac unit. For this reason we must recheck superheat measurements after the hvac units has reached its design temperature range in order to obtain true readings.
Suction Line Insulation
Suction lines should be insulated before measuring superheat. By insulating the suction line we eliminate condensation on the suction line and help keep the refrigerant vapor temperature low enough to provide adequate compressor cooling.
We may assume that a compressor is refrigerant cooled until proven otherwise. One exception is the open compressor, which does not need cold vapor to cool its windings since its motor is separate from the compressor.
Another exception is a hvac units that has a suction/liquid heat exchanger. By purposely installing a device which adds superheat to the suction line, the manufacturer is telling us that the compressor is not as sensitive to inlet vapor temperature.
High superheat is caused by undercharge (leak), or restriction. If we add refrigerant until the subcooling is normal and the superheat is still high, the hvac units is restricted. Note: for diagnostic purposes we may consider an underfeeding metering device to be a form of restriction.
If the superheat is no longer high, the air conditioner unit was undercharged. Locate and repair the leak before proceeding.
In most central air unit anything over 30°F superheat at the compressor should be considered too high. In general, lower superheat is better for the compressor, however some manufacturers specify higher than 30°F superheat for their central ac unit, usually low temp refrigeration.
Consult the manufacturers specifications when possible. If in doubt, 20°F at the compressor, at design space temperature, is a reasonable limit for superheat. High superheat is caused by undercharge or restriction.
By holding back the flow of refrigerant, a restriction causes refrigerant to accumulate in the high side while limiting the amount of refrigerant in the low side; therefore, a restriction is identified by a combination of high superheat at design space temperature with subcooling at design ambient.
If we add refrigerant to the central air units until the superheat is 20°F and the subcooling rises above 15°F, the hvac units is restricted.
The point of restriction can be found by taking temperature measurements on the liquid line at the condensing unit and the point where it enters the expansion device and/or across each of the liquid line device, such as driers, valves, etc.. If the temperature drop from one end of the liquid line to the other is less than 5°F, the liquid line and its devices are not restricted. Note: A temperature drop across a heat exchanger is normal.
If the temperature drop across the liquid line is more than 5°F, check for a temperature drop across each of the liquid line devices. If the liquid line devices are not restricted and there is no temperature drop, the restriction is in the liquid line. Check for kinks in the line or an undersized line.
If the temperature drop across the liquid line minus the drop across the heat exchanger is less than 5°F, the metering device is restricted.
Restricted Metering Device
Once we have traced the restriction to the metering device, we must determine whether the device is in fact restricted or simply out of adjustment. In a cap tube central ac it is definitely a restriction, but in a TXV ac unit the inlet screen should be examined before blaming the valve.
If the screen is clear, the problem is in the TXV. Unless you have reason to believe that the TXV has been improperly adjusted, replace the TXV.
Long Suction Lines
Generally speaking, TXV may be unable to maintain accurate control with less than 3°F superheat at its sensing bulb. On a hvac units with a long suction line this could make it impossible to maintain less than 30°F superheat at the compressor inlet.
If the compressor is air cooled, higher superheat at the compressor is permissible. If the compressor is refrigerant cooled, it will need a de-superheating metering device. This is an extra metering device which feeds a small amount of liquid refrigerant into the suction line near the compressor.
Undercharge of refrigerant is identified by a combination of high superheat and low or no subcooling. If we add refrigerant until the superheat at the compressor is 20°F at design space temperature and the subcooling does not exceed 15°F, the hvac unit was undercharged.
Unless you have reason to believe that the hvac was not charged properly, it is reasonable to assume that there is a leak. Locate and repair the leak before continuing the procedure.
The amount of refrigerant in the low side is also affected by the rate of refrigerant flow through the metering device. Anything which slows the flow rate will decrease the amount of refrigerant, thereby increasing the superheat, and anything which increases the flow rate will increase the amount of refrigerant, thereby decreasing the superheat.
Since the condensing temperature (discharge pressure) affects the rate of flow, we checked the condenser fan motor and condenser coil, raised the condensing temperature to simulate design ambient, and checked the subcooling before measuring the superheat.
Low superheat (floodback) is caused by overcharge, overfeeding metering device, or inefficient compressor. If we remove refrigerant until the superheat is normal, and the central air still has measureable subcooling, the central air was overcharged.
If the hvac units has no subcooling, check the compressor efficiency as described later. If the compressor is OK, the metering device is overfeeding.
Low Superheat (cap tube system)
Although we have determined that the amount of refrigerant in the air conditioner systems is not excessive for the condenser (less than 15°F subcooling), on a cap tube system this may be excessive for the evaporator.
In other words, an overcharge is still possible even though the subcooling is not excessive (under 15°F), on a cap tube hvac units.
Anything less than 15°F superheat at the compressor should be considered too low (floodback). If we remove refrigerant slowly until the superheat is normal (over 20°F), and we still have measureable subcooling, than the hvac units has enough refrigerant to satisfy the needs of the evaporator and has refrigerant in reserve (subcooling) to handle heavier heat loads. In other words, the hvac units was overcharged, but is now functioning normally.

Introduction: Programmable Laser Light Show -- Arduino Controlled
About: Aerospace Engineer working in Software Development with a passion for Hardware.
This is a laser light show made with 3 swivelling servo motors that can create unique laser effects by taking advantage of a visual phenomenon called persistence of vision.
Persistence of vision is an optical illusion that occurs when visual perception of an object does not cease for some time after the rays of light proceeding from it have ceased to enter the eye.
We use this to our advantage by moving the servo motors quickly to produce a variety of lighting effects that the human eye will see as light drawings or patterns!
Step 1: Mount the Mirrors
Add a bead of hot glue at the centre of the servo motor and stick the bottom of the heart-shaped mirror onto this hole. Blow on the glue until it solidifies.
Be patient for this step, the glue takes a while to dry.
Step 2: Servo Mount
Cut holes the dimensions of the bottom of the servo motors
Step 3: Wiring
* Connect the red pin of each of the servos to the red ground rail which is then connected to 5V on the Arduino.
* Connect the black pin of each of the servos to the blue ground rail which is then connected to GND on the Arduino.
* Connect the orange pin of each of the servos to the 5, 6, and 9 on the Arduino. Order does not matter.
Step 4: Code
# include "Servo.h" ///replace with "" with <>
Servo servo1;
Servo servo2;
Servo servo3;
void setup() {
 servo1.attach (5);
 servo1.attach (6);
 servo1.attach (9);
}
void loop() {
 servo1.write (random(0, 90));
 servo2.write (random(90, 150));
 servo3.write (random(60,120));
}
Step 5: Enjoy!
Enjoy your beautiful light show!

Radiance pro-aging organic cosmetic
PRO-AGE ECOLOGICAL COSMETICS WITH STEM CELLS FROM POMEGRANATE
Fight the signs of aging with the latest technology and in an environmentally friendly way. This is how we believe cosmetics should be not only in the future but also in the present. That is why we have created the Radiance Collection from ASHES TO LIFE. A line of high ecological cosmetics made with pomegranate plant stem cells that combines biotechnology and nature to revitalize and illuminate the skin.
This active ingredient extracted using PRCF technology (Plasma Rich in Cellular Factors) is an intelligent illuminator capable of acting specifically on dark spots and equalizing the skin tone providing greater luminosity.
The origin plant, Punica Granatum, is by itself a catalyst for beauty as it is a rich source of antioxidants and polyphenols. But now, thanks to this innovative technological approach that allows recovering and concentrating all the content of active molecules of plant stem cells, the pomegranate has become an ingredient that provides energy to the cells to promote the restoration of the skin, correcting the damage caused by age and infusing new light and vitality.
These abilities to beautify the skin together with a sustainable and efficient technological production process led us to choose pomegranate stem cells to create our Radiance Collection.
Discover the power of light from the Cellular Radiance Collection from ASHES TO LIFE, an ecological Pro-Age cosmetic line.
BIOTECHNOLOGY UNDER A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH
Throughout history, organic cosmetics have always focused on reducing polluting agents during the production process. But at ASHES TO LIFE we believe that it is necessary to go further.
The technology allows us to produce active ingredients in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way. It is now possible to extract plant cells and growing them in a lab, minimizing the impact on ecosystems.
Thanks to biotechnology, it is possible to extract the essence of plants reducing up to 99% of the surface of arable soil and saving 99.98% of water compared to traditional crops.
And it is that only a few seeds or a small part of the plant are necessary to develop a cell line, which opens a new path to ecological cosmetics to be more sustainable and respectful with the environment.
ASHES TO LIFE cosmetic products are ecological. The ashes used to make our products are of organic origin.
Cellular Radiance Collection is a line of highly ecological Pro-Aging cosmetics -composed of cream, serum, eye contour and mask- that combines biotechnology and nature to revitalize and brighten the skin.

Coal is a sedimentary rock found in stratus layers. It is black or black with brown hues. Coal has been used for hundreds of years for a variety of uses but primarily in industry and production. Coal is unlike other kinds of rocks because it is carbon based and made of organic carbon. The carbon dioxide in coal is not oxidized and remains within the rock waiting to be released. Coal is pretty much made up of fossilized peat matter. Coal beds can be found throughout the continents and can be found in rocks that date as far back as the Proterozoic period.

AbstractWe address the task of joint training of transliteration models for multiple language pairs (multilingual transliteration). This is an instance of multitask learning, where individual tasks (language pairs) benefit from sharing knowledge with related tasks. We focus on transliteration involving related tasks i.e. languages sharing writing systems and phonetic properties (orthographically similar languages). We propose a modified neural encoder-decoder model that maximizes parameter sharing across language pairs in order to effectively leverage orthographic similarity. We show that multilingual transliteration significantly outperforms bilingual transliteration in different scenarios (average increase of 58% across a variety of languages we experimented with). We also show that multilingual transliteration models can generalize well to languages/language pairs not encountered during training and hence perform well on the zeroshot transliteration task. We show that further improvements can be achieved by using phonetic feature input.
Anoop Kunchukuttan is a senior Ph.D student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay. His research interests are in the areas of Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Information Extraction. His current research work explores various facets of machine translation and transliteration between related languages.
More broadly, he is interested in exploring multilingual NLP solutions i.e. solutions that scale to a multiple languages. This has led to his recent interest in Deep Learning, since neural networks provide a suitable and flexible language for modelling multilinguality.

Australian Red Cross Society
Image: Badge - Australian Red Cross Appeal, 1918 (Incomplete)
Source: Museum Victoria
The International Committee of the Red Cross was formed in 1863 and is the founding body of the Red Cross movement. Today the Australian Red Cross is one of 178 members of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
The Australian Red Cross was formed as a branch of the British Red Cross at Government House, Melbourne on 13 August 1914. It was established by Lady Helen Munro-Ferguson, wife of the Governor-General, nine days after the outbreak of World War I. Lady Munro-Ferguson had been a member of the British Red Cross in Fyfe, Scotland, and was aware of the important role the organization played in Britain. She asked the wives of each State Governor to form a local committee in each capital, which they agreed to do.
The first Australian Red Cross volunteers focused on supplying care parcels containing soap, toiletries, special food and games for sick and wounded troops. Within weeks of its foundation, the Branch was providing clothing (flannel shirts, cardigans, socks and gloves), medical supplies and equipment. Soon it was shipping items such as mosquito nets, hospital clothing and materials, and food parcels. It initiated the Voluntary Aid Detachments (VAD), whose members cared for the sick and wounded in hospitals, on trains during transport and in convalescent homes. The Red Cross provided assistance to the survivors of the Battle of Gallipoli, the soldiers who fought in Egypt, the blind and those suffering from the effects of war.
In 1915 it also began its Transport Service, driving soldiers who had returned on the hospital ships to their homes or convalescent facilities. By the end of 1916 the Service included 2,500 cars, with more than half overseas, working on the battlefields of France, Italy and East Africa. Transport duties included daily ambulance rounds to hospitals, weekly outings with patients, and delivering and collecting materials. The Australian Red Cross also developed the Cycle and Motor Cycle Corps, with volunteers delivering special Red Cross messages or small parcels.
After the Great War the Australian Red Cross continued to care for returned servicemen. The thousands of Australian Red Cross volunteers who had been engaged actively during the war effort remained involved through local services and programs which were expanded to include hospital visits, emergency and disaster assistance, transport and first aid training: all the while expanding the strength and professionalism of the volunteers and the capacity of Australian Red Cross. The sick and needy in the wider community were now also assisted.
In 1929 Australian Red Cross set up the Blood Transfusion Service in Victoria, which soon expanded throughout Australia. Today the Australian Red Cross Blood Service is considered to be one of the most effective and safe blood services in the world.
In the same year that the Blood Transfusion Service was established, the Second Geneva Convention stated that Red Cross volunteers could be deployed alongside official medical personnel of the armed forces in the task of searching for and evacuating wounded or killed soldiers, and in the prevention of disease in the armed forces.
In 1938 the Australian Red Cross was formally recognized as an autonomous National Society, and was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1941. Its official name became The Australian Red Cross Society.
World War II placed much bigger challenges on Red Cross Society volunteers and services: 347 men and 193 women served in 23 countries, as well as on hospital ships and aircraft carriers. Thousands of Australians spent hundreds of hours in Red Cross offices around the country, packing Red Cross parcels, sewing clothes and processing tracing requests.
Volunteers worked in hospitals throughout Australia, and the Australian Red Cross also supplied all personnel except for doctors and nurses for civil emergency hospitals and first aid posts. They cooked meals, carried out immunization programs and organized blood donor drives. Australian Red Cross staff also provided assistance to captured and wounded enemy soldiers being treated in military hospitals.
Providing weekly food parcels, clothing, medical and other supplies to Australian Prisoners-of-war was one of the main tasks of Australian Red Cross. For hundreds, if not thousands, the Red Cross parcels meant survival. Many POWs in Germany, Italy and other European countries received regular Red Cross deliveries. The Japanese Government refused to permit the dispatch of food parcels, medical supplies and clothing to POWs in the Far East, however.
The scope of relief activities undertaken by Australian Red Cross during World War II was enormous. In 1945 Australian Red Cross chartered the Admiral Chase to ship supplies to Europe.
The Red Cross Tracing and Message Service was one of the busiest services during World War II. Prisoners of War have a right to communicate with their families under the Geneva Conventions, and during 1943 alone some 230,000 letters were distributed to POW camps in Malaya, Java, Shanghai, Hong Kong, China, Burma and Japan.
Australian Red Cross carried out a vast range of other relief operations throughout the war. In Egypt a surgical unit was established, and in Papua New Guinea an army hospital was set up in Torokina.
The busiest time for the Transport Service was in 1945, when volunteer drivers met thousands of wounded servicemen and returning prisoners of war.
In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the Australian Red Cross became active in providing emergency and development relief assistance to many countries. The need in many parts of the world was enormous. Disasters in Greece, Malaysia, Korea, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan and Japan were also assisted.
After the 1950s, Australian Red Cross continued to expand its domestic and overseas humanitarian operations. During the Korean War, it provided services to Australian troops with volunteers visiting hospitals, facilitating correspondence with families at home and organizing help for released POWs. Provision of emergency relief assistance in disasters and conflicts, implementation of development programs and deployment of professional delegates all became standard activities of Australian Red Cross.
The National Office of Australian Red Cross Society is today based in Melbourne. State and Territory Offices are located in each capital city and are responsible for membership, fundraising and the provision of local services and programs.
Over 60 community services are provided in Australia, including Disaster and Community Services (such as Meals on Wheels), Tracing and Refugee Services, First Aid, Health and Safety Services and the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. Overseas, Australian Red Cross provides other development and emergency programs. At any given time, more than 50 medical and relief field staff bring assistance and relief to victims in war zones around the world.

of data. We first create a folder:
path = Path("analysis_2")
path.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
And then write the maps and IRFs to disk by calling the dedicated write method:
filename = path / "crab-stacked-dataset.fits.gz"
stacked.write(filename, overwrite=True)
Define the model#
We first define the model, a SkyModel, as the combination of a point source SpatialModel with a powerlaw SpectralModel:
target_position = SkyCoord(ra=83.63308, dec=22.01450, unit="deg")
spatial_model = PointSpatialModel(
 lon_0=target_position.ra, lat_0=target_position.dec, frame="icrs"
)
spectral_model = PowerLawSpectralModel(
 index=2.702,
 amplitude=4.712e-11 * u.Unit("1 / (cm2 s TeV)"),
 reference=1 * u.TeV,
)
sky_model = SkyModel(
 spatial_model=spatial_model, spectral_model=spectral_model, name="crab"
)
bkg_model = FoVBackgroundModel(dataset_name="crab-stacked")
Now we assign this model to our reduced dataset:
Fit the model#
The Fit class is orchestrating the fit, connecting the stats method of the dataset to the minimizer. By default, it uses iminuit.
Its constructor takes a list of dataset as argument.
fit = Fit(optimize_opts={"print_level": 1})
result = fit.run([stacked])
The FitResult contains information about the optimization and parameter error calculation.
print(result)
OptimizeResult
 backend : minuit
 method : migrad
 success : True
 message : Optimization terminated successfully.
 nfev : 152
 total stat : 16240.87
CovarianceResult
 backend : minuit
 method : hesse
 success : True
 message : Hesse terminated successfully.
The fitted parameters are visible from the Models object.
 model type name value ... frozen is_norm link prior
---------------- ---- --------- ---------- ... ------ ------- ---- -----
 crab index 2.6002e+00 ... False False
 crab amplitude 4.5915e-11 ... False True

crab-stacked-bkg tilt 0.0000e+00 ... True False
crab-stacked-bkg reference 1.0000e+00 ... True False
Here we can plot the number of predicted counts for each model and for the background in our dataset. In order to do this, we can use the plot_npred_signal function.
analysis 2
Inspecting residuals#
For any fit it is useful to inspect the residual images. We have a few options on the dataset object to handle this. First we can use plot_residuals_spatial to plot a residual image, summed over all energies:
stacked.plot_residuals_spatial(method="diff/sqrt(model)", vmin=-0.5, vmax=0.5)
plt.show()
analysis 2
In addition, we can also specify a region in the map to show the spectral residuals:
region = CircleSkyRegion(center=SkyCoord("83.63 deg", "22.14 deg"), radius=0.5 * u.deg)
stacked.plot_residuals(
 kwargs_spatial=dict(method="diff/sqrt(model)", vmin=-0.5, vmax=0.5),
 kwargs_spectral=dict(region=region),
)
plt.show()
analysis 2
We can also directly access the .residuals() to get a map, that we can plot interactively:
residuals = stacked.residuals(method="diff")
residuals.smooth("0.08 deg").plot_interactive(
 cmap="coolwarm", vmin=-0.2, vmax=0.2, stretch="linear", add_cbar=True
)
plt.show()
analysis 2
interactive(children=(SelectionSlider(continuous_update=False, description='Select energy:', layout=Layout(width='50%'), options=('1.00 TeV - 1.78 TeV', '1.78 TeV - 3.16 TeV', '3.16 TeV - 5.62 TeV', '5.62 TeV - 10.0 TeV'), style=SliderStyle(description_width='initial'), value='1.00 TeV - 1.78 TeV'), RadioButtons(description='Select stretch:', options=('linear', 'sqrt', 'log'), style=DescriptionStyle(description_width='initial'), value='linear'), Output()), _dom_classes=('widget-interact',))
Plot the fitted spectrum#
Making a butterfly plot#
The SpectralModel component can be used to produce a, so-called, butterfly plot showing the envelope of the model taking into account parameter uncertainties:
Now we can actually do the plot using the plot_error method:
analysis 2
Computing flux points#
We can now compute some flux points using the FluxPointsEstimator.
Besides the list of datasets to use, we must provide it the energy intervals on which to compute flux points as well as the model component name.
energy_edges = [1, 2, 4, 10] * u.TeV
fpe = FluxPointsEstimator(energy_edges=energy_edges, source="crab")

Reasons to withhold information
If someone requests information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), the information may be withheld for a number of reasons. These include:
- risk to the security or defence of New Zealand or its international relations
- threat to the maintenance of the law, investigation of offences and the right to a fair trial
- serious damage to the economy
- personal privacy
- trade secrets and commercial sensitivity
- the need to protect communications with the queen and the governor-general, collective and individual responsibility of government ministers, and the political neutrality of officials
- free and frank advice between officials and ministers
- legal professional privilege.
Reviewing decisions to withhold
If a person is unhappy with the response they get (usually because information has been withheld), they can ask the ombudsman to review the decision. The ombudsman will obtain the full information from the agency and an explanation of their reasons for withholding it, before forming an independent view on whether the information can be released. If the ombudsman recommends that it should be released, this decision is legally binding.
The New Zealand OIA is unusual in international terms. It goes much further than most other freedom-of-information regimes in terms of what information is able to be requested and the limitations on the reasons for refusing to release information. In most countries, the legislation states categories of documents or information that are automatically excluded from release. Cabinet papers are often automatically excluded, as in Queensland, Australia, for example. In New Zealand cabinet papers are often released only days after cabinet has considered them.
Since 1982 there have been many other legislative reforms that have built on the principles and practice established by the OIA. They include:
- the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, which applies a similar regime to the local government sector
- the Privacy Act 1993, which replaced the parts of the OIA that dealt with access to personal information with a comprehensive regime for access to such information across the public and private sectors
- the Fiscal Responsibility Act 1994, which established a system of regular disclosure of information about the government's financial position. This act was incorporated into the Public Finance Act 1989 in a set of 2004 reforms
- the Criminal Disclosure Act 2008, which created a regime for pre-trial disclosure of information in criminal cases, to replace the administrative system that had developed under the OIA.

UK partners collaborate on multipurpose hybrid-powered USV project
Sonardyne International, HydroSurv and Dynautics have worked on a collaborative project to demonstrate extended range uncrewed operations using hybrid-powered unmanned surface vessel (USV).
HydroSurv developed the REAV-60 design for the vessel named USV Decibel which runs on a hybrid system utilising a Fischer Panda generator and battery pack combination.
The USV completed its first sea trials for Sonardyne at Smart Sound Plymouth in early May 2022.
Prior to trials, which are seen as a key milestone for the project partners, Dynautics carried out comprehensive simulation testing.
Optimising the power management system was vital for this project so that the REAV-60 could operate in clean air zones, the company explained.
To do this it needed to be able to enter these areas with fully charged batteries for zero-emission operation.
Dynautics developed an interface that communicated with the vessel's two electric motors and monitored the battery bank and generator.
The team also developed multiple control modes using an algorithm to control generator operation dependent on mission requirements.
Meanwhile, HydroSurv and Sonardyne recently completed a demonstration project involving HydroSurv's USV and Sonardyne's acoustic communications technology, showcasing their combined capabilities at the site of the Valorous floating wind project, developed by TotalEnergies and Simply Blue Energy.
The project, which was part of an extension to the 'Robotics for a Safer World' challenge, co-funded by InnovateUK, demonstrated the application of HydroSurv USV fitted with Sonardyne's Mini-Ranger 2 Ultra-Short Base Line (USBL) positioning system for rapid environmental data collection to the Blue Gem Wind joint venture, Simply Blue Group, and Offshore Wind Consultants (OWC) focusing on the floating wind project.
The aim was to show integrated capability of the two technologies and the benefits of USV platforms in providing rapid environmental assessments offshore.

Definition of:edge connector
edge connector
The protruding part of an expansion board that is inserted into an expansion slot. It contains a series of printed lines that go to and come from the circuits on the board. The number of lines (pins) and the width and depth of the lines are different on the various interfaces (ISA, EISA, PCI, Micro Channel, etc.).
Edge Connector
Edge connectors are very popular because they are "printed" onto the outer layers of the board in the same process that creates the circuit lines.
Plug In Cartridges
Edge connectors provide a simple connection mechanism for cartridges such as these educational programs for preschoolers.

Summary :
Rapid Mode
Have you heard of Samsung's SSD Rapid Mode? What is it? Should you enable it? In this post, MiniTool will give you answers. Please read on to get them.
Quick Navigation :
What Is Samsung's SSD Rapid Mode?
At present, solid-state hard drives are now divided into two major interfaces: SATA and M.2. New computers will definitely give priority to motherboards with M.2 interfaces. After all, compared to the 6 GB interface bandwidth of SATA III interface, M.2 interface and NVMe protocol will provide much stronger performance to solid-state drives.
m2 ssd vs sata thumbnail
M.2 SSD vs. SATA SSD: Which One Is Suitable for Your PC?
This article explains deeply what SATA SSD and M.2 SSD are. It touches upon SATA Bus standard, PCI-E Bus standard, AHCI protocol, and NVMe protocol.
Read More
Then, is there no way to improve the performance of SATA SSD? Of course, there is. If you are using Samsung SATA SSD, you can use Rapid Mode, which can make SATA SSD achieve over 2X faster performance through intelligent DRAM caching of data, for read acceleration and write optimization.
But how does the Rapid Mode do that? As we all know, you can't physically make the drive faster, as the read/write speeds are bound by the limitations of the hardware. Rapid Mode takes another way. It makes part of the memory serve as a read and write cache for the SSD, in this way, it can realize quicker access and a more streamlined write process.
Is Rapid Mode Worth It?
Looking around the web, there are various resources discussing Rapid Mode, including "Does it really optimize reading and writing?" Actually, the Samsung Magician Rapid Mode is a bit deceiving.
Samsung Rapid Mode brings high performance
The real principle of the Rapid Mode is to transfer the disk's write operation to the background. Then, it sends the message "data has been written to the disk" to other software while the disk and write data slowly in the background. In this way, the benchmark software will think that the data has been read and written, therefore giving a very high score.
If you copy large files from a Samsung SSD with Rapid Mode to an ordinary mechanical hard disk, you will see the progress bar running fast, which means that the copy speed is very fast. But in fact, the speed shown here is just the speed at which Samsung Magician transfers files to the background for writing, not the actual writing speed.
Rapid Mode doesn't accelerate writing at all. After the copy window disappears, Samsung Magician is still slowly writing your files to disk in the background. It just uses your free time. If you turn off the power and restart the computer, the files written to the mechanical hard disk must be damaged. (As for reading, the Rapid Mode takes some measures like "Prefetch".)
Some technical reviews revealed that the real increase in performance is anywhere between 0% and 25% depending on what was loaded into the Ramdisk. The 0% represents brand new data of some type that has never been loaded into the Ramdisk while the 25% represents some type of data that is routinely loaded into the Ramdisk.
In a word, you can benefit it if you're loading the same thing over and over again or you are operating the disks that are not read and written frequently. But if you are operating hard disks with frequent read and write operations, it not only cannot improve performance, but also increases the risk of data loss.

How to Enable and Disable Rapid Mode?
Note: Rapid Mode almost only supports SATA drives, which includes some of the non-NVMe m.2 drives like the 860 Evo. In addition, to run it, your PC must be running Windows 7 or later and needs at least 2GB of RAM. If the memory is not large enough, the Rapid Mode may cause BSOD to your computer.
Step 1: Download and open Samsung Magician.
Step 2: Ensure the supported drive is selected from the drop-down box. Then, change the Rapid Mode toggle to on.
Step 3: Click OK and then Yes button. Then, Magician will now force your PC to restart and when it comes back up Rapid Mode will be enabled.

The implementation will be done in Tower CMOS 0.18u technology.
The RSA algorithm stood out among asymmetric encryption systems as a conceptually simple and practical encryption and authentication method which provides a near perfect level of security. Public-key cryptographic systems, such as the RSA often involve modular exponentiation (Z = Ye mod n). This widely used and computational complex operation is performed using successive modular multiplications (C = AB mod n). The performance of such cryptosystems is primarily determined by...

Wear behavior of zirconia substrates against different antagonist materials
Aldegheishem, Alhanoof / Alfaer, Ali / Brezavšček, Miha / Vach, Kirstin / Eliades, George / Att, Wael
Objective: This study assessed the wear behavior of different zirconia substrates with distinct surface roughness against different antagonist materials.
Method: Hemisphere-shaped specimens (diameter 5 mm) made out of different materials (VM9, Vintage ZR, IPS e.max Press, and human enamel) were used as antagonists against plates of three zirconia materials (P-NANOZr, Cercon HT, and Zenostar) with different surface roughness (smooth [Ra = 0.01], moderate [Ra = 0.1], and rough [Ra = 1]). Each group (n = 7) was exposed to thermomechanical fatigue in a mastication simulator to simulate 5 years of clinical service. All specimens were scanned using a laser scanner and volumetric loss was quantified. Scanning electron microscopy was used to evaluate wear pattern, while Raman spectroscopy was employed to determine the crystalline property of zirconia specimens.
Results: For zirconia, the smallest volumetric loss was recorded with smooth P-NANOZR against enamel antagonists (0.002 ± 0.002 mm3), whereas the greatest loss was observed with rough Cercon HT against Vintage antagonists (0.37 ± 0.14 mm3). For antagonists, smooth Zenostar against enamel antagonists yielded the smallest volumetric loss (0.03 ± 0.02 mm3), whereas the greatest loss values were recorded with rough Zenostar against VM9 antagonists (2.67 ± 0.35 mm3). A positive correlation was found between surface roughness of zirconia specimens and volume loss of base and antagonist specimens. PNANOZR showed less wear compared to other zirconia materials. The wear pattern was comparable among different specimens. Artificial aging did not influence the levels of tetragonal and monoclinic phases of different zirconia materials.
Conclusion: While microstructure shows a relatively smaller effect, surface roughness of zirconia has the greatest effect on its wear and on the wear of antagonists.

Researchers Matthew Salter, Ilona Riipinen and Christoph Humborg from the Department of Environmental Science are behind a successful infrastructure funding application to the Swedish Reseach Council (VR) on the development of a new atmospheric science laboratory at Askö, a marine research station located within the Stockholm archipelago. This funding is the latest milestone in the establishment of a multidisciplinary centre for coastal ecosystem and climate research called CoastClim, which is based on Baltic Bridge, a strategic cooperation research project between the University of Helsinki and Stockholm University launched in 2017.
"This centre brings together expertise in the fields of marine ecology, biogeochemistry and atmospheric research in order to develop more integrated knowledge about how different marine processes and the Baltic Sea coastal environments interact with atmospheric processes and what this means for the climate, says Matthew Salter, Researcher at the Department of Environmental Science and Principal Investigator of the project.
At its heart, the new laboratory will be concerned with questions surrounding emissions of sea spray aerosols and gases from the Baltic Sea and their impacts on climate. " Sea spray aerosol is one of the most important natural aerosol sources but we lack fundamental understanding of its exact physico-chemical properties and in particular the links to marine biogeochemistry," explains Salter. He continues: "Further, the Baltic Sea is highly impacted by the large population centres surrounding it meaning that the concentrations of marine contaminants exceed those of many other marine areas. As such, the laboratory will be a unique facility to probe whether the Baltic Sea is acting as an important source of contaminants to the atmosphere via sea spray aerosol and whether this pathway may be relevant at the global scale."
The infrastructure project is led by Professor Christoph Humborg who is the scientific director of the Baltic Sea Centre at Stockholm University and professor at the Department of Environmental Science. "The Askö laboratory has unique centennial time-scale data sets on hydrographic, climate and biodiversity variables and the new atmospheric science infrastructure will enable us to link our cutting-edge expertise in marine ecology, biogeochemistry and atmospheric science providing a pathway to scientific breakthroughs," says Humborg.

Catalyst Semiconductor Inc. has expanded its family of solid-state illumination products with the white LED driver targeted at LED indicator and interior lighting applications. The CAT310 drives up to 10 color or white LEDs and safely handles load-dump transients to 40 V, making it ideal for automotive systems.
A serial to parallel shift register accepts up to a 10-bit datastream, stores the state condition of each output channel, and upon command, latches the input data to enable, or disable, the outputs. This provides LED blanking and pattern control for signal indication in applications such as diagnostic tools or control panels. A serial output allows the user to cascade multiple CAT310 drivers to illuminate systems of LEDs in applications such as signboards or interior lighting systems.
Each channel is comprised of a low on-resistance open drain FET, which can sink up to 50 mA, with the current through each LED being set by a series resistor. Manufactured on high-voltage CMOS technology, the CAT310 operates with input voltages as high as 17 V. Overvoltage detection, undervoltage lockout and overcurrent detection each serve to protect the device and output LEDs during fault conditions.
The CAT310 offers a robust solution for driving multicolor LEDs across the full automotive temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, and in harsh system environments. The integrated suite of features reduces external component count and minimizes the traditional reliance on upstream protection devices.
The CAT310 is available in a 20-pin SOIC package and is priced at $0.95, in 1,000 piece quantities. The CAT310 is available in environment-friendly packages that are halogen- and lead-free with RoHS compliance. Samples and production quantities are available.

Film and Glass Slides
There are basically two types of slides, those on glass and the film slides we have today.
While copies can be made of both types of slides, the image quality will not be the same as the original because it is a duplicate.
Glass slides are often confused with glass negatives, but two important differences exist. Also called lantern slides, glass slides, are a positive image and a standard size. The positive image on each lantern slide is sandwiched between two pieces of glass. These slides include a paper mount and taped-sealed edges. Glass negatives come in a variety of sizes and are negative images.
Lantern slides remained popular from 1850 until approximately 1950 and these slides are still used today in many academic disciplines. The introduction of inexpensive film slides in the 1950s replaced them.
Contemporary slides consist of the image and a mount.
There are three types of mounts currently available.
Guidelines for handling slides and for storage can be found in my book. Or, feel free to email me.

Cultures about to be lost are still being found. The new language discovered in India, Koro, leaves more questions than answers. From Discovery News:
A team of linguists announced Tuesday that they have discovered a new and unique language, called Koro, in northeastern India, but immediately warned that it was highly endangered.
Only around 800 people are believed to speak the Tibeto-Burman language, and few of them are under the age of 20, according to the researchers who discovered Koro during an expedition as part of National Geographic's "Enduring Voices" project.
The language, they said, has never been written down.

Mutual exclusion for uniprocessors
journal contributionposted on 01.03.1999, 00:00 by Brian N. Bershad
Abstract: "We discuss and evaluate four mutual exclusion primitives appropriate for uniprocessors: memory interlocked instructions, software reservation, kernel emulation and restartable atomic sequences. A restartable atomic sequence is a code fragment that, if interrupted, is resumed by software at the beginning of the sequence, guaranteeing that the sequence is eventually executed to completion atomically.We describe two implementations of restartable atomic sequences for the Mach operating system, and show that restartable atomic sequences perform significantly better than either kernel emulation or software reservation, making them an attractive alternative for use on uniprocessors that do not support atomic read-modify-write instructions. Further, on many processor architectures that do support such instructions, we show that restartable atomic sequences can have better performance. We show that improving the performance of low-level mutual exclusion mechanisms can have a substantial effect on application performance."

Cogni-Calm (30 caps)
Cogni-Calm® is a nutritional supplement that may balance inflammation and excitation in the nervous system.
Cogni-Calm® can be considered in those with chronic inflammatory issues that lead to a state of excitation, nervousness, poor focus, and attention. Chronic stimulation of the immune system by stressors, toxic chemicals, metals and mycotoxins as well as hidden infections can stimulate immune cells in the body and brain to release proinflammatory mediators to deal with a threat. Those with prolonged illnesses are at risk for having this type of chronic immune activation.
Nervous System Support: Cogni-Calm® is a nutritional supplement that helps balance inflammation and excitation in the nervous system.
Inflammation Support: Cogni-Calm® may target the immune cells in the brain called microglia. When chronically activated, microglia release proinflammatory chemicals that can lead to inflammation.
Calm Nervous System: Stabilizing chronic inflammation is important to calming down the nervous system. Chronic microglial activation can lead to excitation, poor focus, and anxiety.
Natural Ingredients: Cogni-Calm® includes antioxidants, adaptogens, and flavonoids that may help the body regain calm and balance by decreasing chronic inflammation.
Healthy Brain Function: Cogni-Calm® can help preserve healthy brain function.
The natural ingredients in Cogni-Calm®, which include antioxidants, adaptogens, and flavonoids may help the body regain calm and balance by decreasing chronic inflammation.

Direct torque control (DTC) is one of the most excellent control strategies of torque control in induction machine. It is considered as an alternative to the field oriented control (FOC) or vector control technique. These two control strategies are different on the operation principle but their objectives are the same. They aim to control effectively the torque and flux. Torque control of an induction machine based on DTC strategy has been developed and a comprehensive study is present in this research. The performance of this control method has been demonstrated by simulations performed using a versatile simulation package, Matlab/Simulink. Several numerical simulations have been carried out in a steady state and transient operation on a speed control mode.

The work carried out in this paper is aimed and focused to develop a direct torque control simulink model. The DTC architecture allows the independent and decoupled control of torque and stator flux. The implementation of the DTC model has been deeply described and justified its realization. In order to show the effectiveness of the model, a numerical simulation has been performed on a 7.5 kW induction machine fed by an IGBT PWM inverter. The feasibility and the validity of the developed DTC model, based on switching table technique, have been proved by simulation results obtained in the torque control mode.

Tooth decay prevalent among Alaska native children
Sep 23, 2011, 7:36 a.m.
By Yereth Rosen
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Native Alaskan children living in remote villages have rates of tooth decay about four times the national average, a government study showed.
Lack of fluoridated water and an abundance of sugary, carbonated soda pop were the major reasons cited in the research that tracked dental health of children in the mostly Yupik Eskimo region of southwestern Alaska.
Dr. Brad Whistler, Alaska state oral health director and a co-author of the study, said children need major dental work.
"When they smile, you see a lot of silver teeth," he said.
Such severe decay sets up children to have serious dental problems as adults, Whistler said.
One reason for the high level of tooth decay is poor water-system infrastructure in many Alaska Native villages, which prevents the fluoridation of drinking water that has helped lower rates of tooth decay.
In some villages that were part of the study, residents must haul water home from central pumps, he said. Even those places with more sophisticated systems are likely to lack fluoride in drinking water, because few qualified technicians are available to work in such far-flung locations and install the necessary equipment.
The other major problem is the erosion of the traditional Native diet with the introduction of food laden with sugar, Whistler said.
The study, by the federal Centers for Disease Control and the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, analyzed 2008 dental records and habits of 348 children between the ages of four and 15.

Here's the guidance and resource materials for teachers, librarians, parents and others who work with children for Episode Ten of The Story Thief Challenges.
Story Re-cap questions:
- What made it so hard for the kids to bring their father to the library to meet the Story Thief?
- Why did Liam contact the author?
- How does the Thief magically travel everywhere?
- Why do you think Liam's last attempt to travel magically through stories worked?
- What do you think will happen when they meet the Thief in the library?
Re-cap questions on Catherine Doyle writing advice :
- When does Catherine think magic works best in a story?
- Give an example of something ordinary but with a magical twist from in a story you know?
- How can you be expressive in your language when describing the magic?
- Why is how the magic affects your characters even more important than the magic on its own?
- Give an example of magic in a book that the characters fear? Or that the characters love?
PS: Here's a Story Challenge for you.
Choose something ordinary from your everyday life – it can be anything from a blade of grass to a piece of furniture to the family goldfish. Now, sprinkle it with magic. Delve into your imagination and give it a property that makes it enchanted. Does it talk? Sing? Change colour? Open a portal? As you tell your story, allow your main character to discover this magical item, and pay special attention to what happens when they do – the most exciting part is in the moment of interaction. I want you to tell me all about it!
How to do this challenge?
As usual the challenge is self-explanatory, but here's some alternative ways it can be done in a group setting:
- Encourage kids to imagine how different characters might experience the same magical item. They could write an additional dialogue between two characters describing the same object – one character could love it, another fear it.
- This doesn't need to be a written activity. Instead children could be encouraged to find something and bring it in to the group setting and present it to the other kids and describe its magic power.
- Have a discussion with the kids about their favorite moments from books and films and games where the characters discover magic.
- Whatever other approach you're having yourself 🙂
Once the challenge is completed?


text: This paper focuses on two major elements of China's population dynamics-the rising proportion of workers in the population and the shift of rural workers from agriculture into industry and services-in a provincial-level analysis of per capita income and productivity growth during the last three decades. We measure the'mechanical' contributions of these dynamics to per capita income as revealed by growth decompositions, before assessing the determinants of per capita income and productivity growth in a series of regressions that include the growth of the working-age to total population (. WAP) ratio and a measure of sectoral employment change. Our results indicate that sectoral change has made a significant positive contribution to both per capita income growth and aggregate productivity growth, stemming from its positive impact on agricultural productivity growth-as predicted by the Lewisian dual economy model. However, the negative impact of sectoral change on productivity growth in the industrial and service sectors, combined with the negative impact of growth of the WAP ratio on both per capita income and aggregate productivity growth, suggests that the benefits of China's population dynamics during the last three decades have been overstated.

Peter Van Ness's house was in a state of neglect when Van Buren purchased it in 1839. Although Van Buren began improvements immediately, it was not until his son hired the prominent architect Richard Upjohn in 1849 that the house took on its present appearance.
1. Why might the house have needed improvements when Van Buren purchased it in 1839?
2. Compare the appearance of the house in Drawing 2 and Photo 1 to that in Drawing 1. What major changes were made to Lindenwald between 1797 and 1862?
3. Why might Van Buren's son have chosen to alter the appearance of the house so dramatically? What do his and his father's improvements indicate about the family's financial status?
* The images on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of the drawing and the photo, but be aware that each will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Elaine asked, "If applications are isolated, how can separate applications requiring integration work together? Do they have to be packaged as part of the same VSP?"
Hi Elaine. Active Virtual Software Packages are visible system-wide. So virtualized applications interact normally with each other and with processes running from the base. "Isolation" refers to when there are duplications on the system -- e.g., two different versions of the same DLL at the same path, in two different VSPs. SVS ensures that each application sees only the version it needs to run correctly.

free_in : term -> term -> bool
Tests if one term is free in another.
When applied to two terms t1 and t2, the function free_in returns
true if t1 is free in t2, and false otherwise. It is not necessary
that t1 be simply a variable.
- FAILURE CONDITIONS
In the following example free_in returns false because the x in SUC x
in the second term is bound:
whereas the following call returns true because the first instance
of x in the second term is free, even though there is also a bound instance:
# free_in 'SUC x' '!x. SUC x = x + 1';;
val it : bool = false
# free_in 'x:bool' 'x /\ (?x. x=T)';;
val it : bool = true
If the term t1 is a variable, the rule vfree_in is more basic and probably

220.127.116.11 Group Spatial Connectivity
The concept of Group Spatial Connectivity allows for the association of a IfcGroup (and its relevant subtypes) representing a grouping of objects to a particular spatial structure, either an entire facility (and its specific subtypes e.g. buildings, bridges, roads, or marine facilities), a facility part, a building storey, or any part of these structures.
The group (IfcGroup) in question should be human identifiable by its Name attribute.
The relationship (IfcRelReferencedInSpatialStructure) in question can provide context of the connection through the Name and Description attributes.
The use of IfcRelReferencedInSpatialStructure in this template provides the relationship across spatial and functional hierarchies allowing the spatial coverage of functional groups.
It is permissible for an IfcGroup not to be related to any spatial structure element. When the IfcGroup is not connected to the spatial structure it must be declared to the IfcProject using the Project declaration template via the IfcRelDeclares relationship, or have a parent IfcGroup (or its relevant subtypes) through the use of composition, with said parent IfcGroup either connected to the spatial structure using Group Spatial Connectivity or declared to the IfcProject using the Project declaration template.
The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept. In addition, concepts may have particular importance to common or standardised industry practices and scenarios. For these specific usage scenarios, the table below shows a recommended list of general usage patterns that users may adopt.

Abstract
Pulsatile flow of blood through a uniform artery in the presence of a mild stenosis has been investigated in this paper. Blood has been represented by a Newtonian fluid. This model has been used to study the influence of body acceleration and a velocity slip at wall, in blood flow through stenosed arteries. By employing a perturbation analysis, analytic expressions for the velocity profile, flow rate, wall shear stress and effective viscosity, are derived. The variations of flow variables with different parameters are shown diagrammatically and discussed. It is noticed that velocity and flow rate increase but effective viscosity decreases, due to a wall slip. Flow rate and speed enhance further due to the influence of body acceleration. Biological implications of this modeling are briefly discussed.

Clover hay is a type of forage that is often used as animal feed. It is high in protein and nutrients, and its taste is generally palatable to most animals. Clover hay is also lower in fiber than many other types of hay which makes it easier for animals to digest. In addition, clover hay typically has a higher calcium content than other types of hay, which can be beneficial for animals that are pregnant or nursing. Clover hay is also relatively easy to grow, and it does not require as much fertilizer or water as other types of forage. As a result, it is a popular choice for farmers and ranchers who are looking to provide their animals with a nutritious diet.
Benefits Clover hay is a legume that is often used as a cover crop or animal fodder. It is fast-growing and can be used to improve soil health by adding nitrogen and organic matter. Clover also suppresses weeds, helps control erosion, and improves water infiltration. When used as animal fodder, it is high in protein and calcium and can be fed to both livestock and poultry. Clover hay is an excellent forage for honey bees and provides nectar for making honey. It is also a source of pollen, which is necessary for the development of bee larvae. In addition to its many benefits for agriculture, clover hay is also a beautiful addition to any landscape. Its deep green leaves and white flowers add color and interest to any garden or field.
