Founder of the Mara Elephant Project - Richard Roberts
Founder of the Mara Elephant Project - Richard Roberts
Born in Kenya and raised in the Maasai Mara, Richard Roberts had an incredible passion for this part of the world. His love for the people and wildlife that call it home is evident through his incredible stories that resonate with a lifetime of knowledge and the personal rapport he built with the locals of the region.
Seeing first-hand the threats to the elephant population in the Mara, Richard began to develop a plan to monitor elephants to better understand their movements and to influence their survival.
Bringing together a team of researchers, conservationists, government officials, safari operators and wildlife advocates, he established the Mara Elephant Project (MEP) in 2010 to track and protect elephants in the Mara.
He became a leader in wildlife conservation, reaching out to a vast network of contacts, establishing partnerships with key stakeholders and obtaining important recognition for the project.
After spending time with him at Richard's Camp in 2013, Will Bolsover, Natural World Safaris MD said "Richard's vision and passion for the Mara's wildlife is contagious. His hands-on approach, and tireless work at the front-line of conservation, has had a significant impact on protecting elephants within the Mara while raising wider awareness on human conflict with the wildlife in this region. He has firmly put the challenges of elephant conservation in the Mara on the international stage."
Richard Roberts sadly passed away in 2019. We were delighted to select Richard as one of our Natural World Heroes, recognising his stellar work in the field of conservation and a lifetime commitment to Africa's threatened widlife and ecosystems. Natural World Safaris are honoured to maintain this page as a small part of Richard's legacy.

Interview with Richard Roberts
Why is the Masai Mara such an important natural world location and why does it need protecting?
I was brought up in the Maasai Mara and have spent most of my life here. Having been lucky enough to travel many of the other amazing wildlife areas of Africa I have come to realize how incredibly special the Mara is. With year round wildlife densities in this giant open ecosystem, the Mara is hard to beat.
What has been your best natural world experience to date?
It is hard to pick one. We did a helicopter trip around the Virunga national park to visit the chimpanzees and gorillas. The astounding biodiversity of the oldest national park in Africa really did get us going. A volcano was erupting while we were there, shooting lava 1000ft into the air from ground level and we watched the lava flows slowly moving through the rain forest, trekked for gorillas and chimps, flew around the mountains of the moon and camped the night looking down into the bubbling lava lake of Mount Nyaragongo - an incredible trip.
What high priority conservation challenges do you feel the natural world is facing at the moment?
Our biggest challenge here in the Mara is the un-checked encroachment of people across the traditional wildlife range land. People plant crops and farm livestock coming directly into conflict with thewildlife. Elephants and buffalo break fences and destroy crops while lions and hyena kill the livestock, so a fight begins and wildlife rarely wins. Our human population is increasing and there will be more and more pressure on our natural resources. In the end, wild areas will have to be producing enough benefit to the local people so that the people themselves agree to leave the land as it is.
Tourism is a great way to raise funds, employ people and pay the way for wildlife / habitat protection, but with the way the world is at the moment we have found we cant rely on it, We urgently need to find other ways of making these areas sustainable.
Without the great support, hard work and input of a few great people who first came to Kenya as tourists, the Mara Elephant Project may never have got off the ground. I think people can help by visiting projects on the ground when they travel. It can give a great insight into the good and bad of an area. Meeting people with real passion and dedication to the natural world can be quite inspirational.
Do you have a single most influential or defining moment when you knew that you had to take action to try and protect the declining elephant population in the Mara?
For years and years, we treated elephants with conflict wounds and as time went by, the problem became worse and worse. We had a big beautiful matriarch elephant that lived her life with her family group right around our Forest Camp; she came back one day from one of the conflict areas with horrendous wounds from spears and arrows and although we treated her three times, she finally died a few hundred meters from our camp where she felt safe. Sadly we couldn't save her little calf who died not long after. Over time you begin to feel a real connection with individual animals as you get to spend time with them. I think this old ladies' fate sealed our commitment to push on and get MEP under way.
What were the biggest challenges you faced when establishing the Mara Elephant Project and how did you overcome them?
Our greatest challenge when setting up the Mara elephant project was finding the funding. We had never run a charity or fund-raised before so we had no experience or track record to get us started. We managed after six years to finally get the fledgling project funded and up and running.
What is the most effective approach to human-wildlife co-existence and conflict?
Sadly I think its all about money in this day and age. If communities that share their land with wildlife benefit enough from the wildlife then they can coexist.
Who is your own personal Natural World Hero and why?
Well I have quite a few but here are just three of them.
My father Willie Roberts for his work in the Mara against all the odds years ago. He challenged the government for the right to collect revenue from wildlife on private land. This paved the way for community benefiting tourism around Kenya and saved a huge chunk of the Masai Mara from being converted into wheat land.
Emmanuel DeMerode for his devotion and huge personal sacrifice to the Virunga National Park.
James Ekriu, senior warden of MEP who is out there right now keeping our elephants safe
What is your dream natural world destination, somewhere you haven't yet travelled to?
I look forward to someday visiting Chad and Niger, for ancient rock art, and the vast Sahara and Gabon for rainforest wilderness, surfing hippos and elephants on the beach.
What natural world insight would you like to leave us with?
Enjoy the natural world and if you can, do something to look after it.

have accommodations in it, yes, but he'd pass the English, math, and IT portions of such a test. Maybe we should do something to see if kids would like technology. What would an American aptitude test look like?
I'd say we could try putting in the usual English, other languages would also be offered. Perhaps German, Latin, and Spanish should be. offered as options to take in the aptitude test. But before you get your own version of the main test, you'd have to take a survey. The survey would gauge your likes, dislikes, and other things, but it would show you career paths you might be interested in. Next, you'd have to take a written test, something like one with English, reading, a bit of basic math, sciences, and music and the creative theories and such. Based on the aptitudes tested and the survey question results, then you'd be further tested and then the counselor would meet with the student. The student would use the objectives, some strengths and weaknesses set down by the counselor, to determine career opportunities. For example, if little Willie wants to take cooking and cook for a hobby, he would write in his survey that he enjoys food, food preparation, and other things. Then, he'd take an aptitude test that would study how well he measures, remembers recipes, and can understand and convert Imperial units and European or SI metrics. Those are important, especially if setting the temperature of an oven. Little Willie could be given home economics as part of his aptitude results, but then he'd be given extra math courses if he says, for example, I'd like to own a restaurant. I am using the example of a little Willie because girls are often the ones tracked into home economics classes, which should not always happen, so I decided to go with a guy's name instead.
There are just a few different aptitudes we have to avoid, however. First, no test would ever find that a girl is fit for nothing but sex work. Second, a test would not favor birthmothering only for girls. To be a sex worker or birth mother would be written off as gender biased aptitude statements, and might be a cause of many a lawsuit to a school. Blind women need a fair aptitude result that might put them in better positions, things like restauranteur or master chef, or perhaps they could be given the option of journalism, or even construction work and engineering if they love designing floor plans. The possibilities must remain endless. Germany offers this to all german students, so why the hell not! America, wake up. You need something that totally beats out the standardized test scores. Teachers, teach the students, and let them invite all possibility into their lives. For example, Little Caitlin in kindergarten builds things with legos, loves to play with micromachines, cars, and trucks. Not like her girl classmates, Caitlin would love Star Wars and science related shows growing up, and then, at fourteen, she would do well in middle school science. Here's another idea: compile this student's records into her high school aptitude test, and then the counselor could sit down with sixteen-year-old Caitlin and say, "Well, you've done lots of things in science. You have a strong aptitude for science and tech, so here are some options. You could do web design, software engineering, or perhaps acoustical engineering, music production, …" blah blah blah blah blah. Caitlin would then choose the career choices she wants, none of which involves sex work, birthing, and cooking. There you have it. If Bill in kindergarten was messing with his mom's cooking stuff, then later pretended to make food with Play Dough, then later decides to serve folks at a diner, sixteen years later, Bill could bee a chef. Bill would still have to include cooking in his aptitude things, but when little Bill grows to be a middle schooler, the aptitude thing would include all the A pluses he gets in food preparation classes, food sciences classes, and so many other things he could get to know through math, algebra, and so on. Bill would still take a life skills selection in his classes, so will everybody else. However, when he turns sixteen, Bill's aptitude tests and his guidance counselor will state, "You have shown strengths in these subjects, and weaknesses in these others." The counselor and Bill will work together to decide what Bill will do for his career path. Either of these students could be your son or daughter, in a far distant generation somewhere. What's the catch? No standardized test scores.
Remote Learning Versus In Person Learning: My Experiences
Dear readers,
I'm not surprised that there are parents who don't want to send their student children to school, in person learning being that which the administration wants and believes in all the more even during a deadly pandemic.
The thing is that online learning could be fixed to indoctrinate rather than educate young girls in Conservative communities, and we must stop that at all costs. For one, some girls in the ultraconservative communities like the ones in Utah and some Christian families might opt for a religious brainwashing instead of educating girls. What is the deal? I have had good experiences with both online and in person learning, but I never did online learning until college days.
I started out in kinder through fourth grade in public elementary schools, but in fifth grade, my parents insisted I have a Catholic education. Some of you may know that the Catholic school had no band, no chorus program that sang anything other than religious music, and no string orchestra, and I think the parents wanted to not teach me the violin. Look at how much private religious education actually costs. It costs a lot more than the violin lessons, and it cost more than the piano lesson that eventually I had to give up. My parents could have had me in an orchestra, a meaningful job playing piano at a bar whether they liked it or not, but they chose to spend all that money on religious education which does not do much good for females with disabilities. What they didn't know was that girls and boys both had to learn about sexuality in a Catholic perspective from a young age. Well, thank God the high school was in Melbourne, too far for transport, so I went to Titusville High School, where there was a band, orchestra, and choir. Thank God the choir and band directors just didn't get the religious education point, but they never indoctrinated anyone. My band director, of all the people I might have not gotten along with, was not a religious person to the point of imposing things like girl boy separation. He did tell us about songs and their meanings, half of which were nonreligious and had no Catholic perspective. Religions with conservative viewpoints on girls' choice and body autonomy really should take this into consideration, but online learning could allow the parent to cocoon the student in question and not allow her to see friends, do things, or have any opportunities to learn and grow as a person. For me those opportunities did not come till I was dropped out of college, and twice I had to drop out because of Rehab and accommodations. I will never be able to obtain a Bachelor's degree, but moreover, I had to catch up because of the conservative patriarchal bullshit I was exposed to in the home. Mom expected a perfect daughter, someone who would cook and clean and take care of the home, unpaid of course. IF I were to go back, I'd have to charge an outrageous rate anyway by now because the parents needed to appreciate what I could do, but they never did. My dad wanted a perfect virgin of a daughter, but sorry, that didn't happen because in high school, a guardianship was planted in the legal books against me and I couldn't marry or date without a guardian's permission, which I balked at. I left in 2010 because of the way I was being treated, and I won't allow this to happen again, not even to my own potential daughters. While I was at home, I still had online college, and I took a survey and did chats online with Blackboard. The thing to remember is that online learning should be accessible too, so a blind student might not be able to participate with other kids online, so do your research.
Accessibility and viability of the information your child is being taught is very very important. We don't live in Gilead, wee live in the United States, for those reading who are actually in the United States. But remember, don't indoctrinate your kids with a book of Genesis reading unless you want them cowering in the corner saying things like, "What the hell is all this?" I did study Genesis, and believe you me, there's a lot of flaws in it. For one, the thing about women fighting over who gets more kids. Rachel and Leah were the most dynamic duo of sisters, but they were also sister wives, and they had maidservants, handmaids, they gave to their husband to sleep with. This could be the reason why people may groom girls to be handmaids as young as fourteen, or perhaps they would be arranged in marriage, as was biblical custom. Genesis also hurts gays and lesbians, so I won't go into what it says and why. This is part of the reason I'm not into and all for religious education until a child is old enough to make his or her or their own decisions about what they want in life, where they want to go, and what kinds of things they want to experience such as dating, prom, and the chance to be married to someone they care about. We also have to make sure we speak up and demand change from the government level so that girls are protected from


Rabia Basri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Small drawing of Rābiʻa
Rābia al-Adawiyya al-Qaysiyya (Arabic: رابعة العدوية القيسية; 717 – 801 AD) was a female Muslim saint and Sufi mystic. She was born in Basra, and is therefore also called Rābia al-Basrī (Arabic: رابعة البصري).
She was the fourth daughter of her family and therefore named Rābi'a, meaning "fourth". Her family was very poor. She was very devoted to God. When Rābia's father died, she became an orphan. She was captured by thieves and sold into slavery. During the day, she worked for her master. During the night, she prayed to God. Once her master learned about her passionate faith, he immediately released her. He decided to serve her instead.
Rābia became an ascetic. Over time, many came to follow her. Even though Rābia did many favors for them and lived in poverty and hardship, she never asked for anything, even from God.
The name Rābia is used to describe women of the highest type of spirituality. She is considered one of the most devoted Sufi saints. She is highly revered.[1]

Still, one of the Louvre's own consultants acknowledged that some Muslims could be "shocked" by three images of Muhammad with his face exposed in the new wing. Many Muslims believe the prophet should not be depicted at all — even in a flattering way — because it might encourage idolatry.
The galleries provide a needed showcase one of the West's most extensive Islamic art collections, some 18,000 artifacts that range from the 7th century to the 19th century.
But the wing does not dwell on the old: It is housed under a futuristic, undulating glass roof designed by architects Rudy Ricciotti and Mario Bellini that has garnered comparisons to a dragonfly wing, a flying carpet, even a wind-blown veil. It marks the Louvre's biggest change since I.M. Pei shook up the famed Paris museum with his iconic glass pyramid in 1989.
France, meanwhile, is bracing for possible disruptions at embassies across the Muslim world on Friday after the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo published lewd caricatures of Muhammad on Wednesday. The publication raised concerns that French interests could face violent protests like the ones targeting the United States over a video produced in California that ridiculed the prophet. Those protests, which continued on Thursday, have left at least 30 people dead.
But could the new museum wing actually be good timing?
The Louvre collection's mission is to foster understanding between the West and the Islamic world. Instead of highlighting Islam as one united religion, it celebrates the secular, tolerant and cultural aspects of different Islamic civilizations.
Sophie Makariou, head of the Louvre's Islamic art department, hopes the new wing will teach lessons about tolerance and diversity.
"I like the idea of showing the other side of the coin," said Makariou, standing at a wall decorated with colorful, flower-patterned tiles from the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. "We are talking about a diverse world that goes from the Atlantic, Spain and Morocco to India. It brings complexity.
"We are suffering from simplistic views on the Islamic world. (Some) would make us believe that there is just one Islam, which is just not true."
Indeed, an intricately engraved bronze lion from 13th century Spain stands proudly alongside a rare modeled-stucco head of a prince from medieval Iran. The works presented were made not just by Muslims, but by Christian and Jewish artists as well.
In a sign of the political importance of the new collection, French President Francois Hollande attended an opening ceremony Tuesday, calling it a "political gesture in the service of respect for peace." Saudi Prince Waleed Bin Talal and the president of Azerbaijan accompanied him.
"The best weapons for fighting fanaticism that claims to be coming from Islam are found in Islam itself," Hollande said. "What more beautiful message than that demonstrated here by these works?"
The Louvre opened a department of Islamic art in 2003, under former President Jacques Chirac, who said he wanted to highlight the contributions of Muslim civilizations to Western culture.
Chirac, who vigorously opposed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, constantly pushed for the idea of a "dialogue of cultures" to break down misunderstandings between the West and the Muslim world.
The collection's organizer decided to include images of Muhammad to show the evolution of Islamic art. In one instance, he appears as a veiled character in a 16th century manuscript. And in a multimedia projection, Mohammad is shown in three separate images with his face exposed — something almost unheard-of today.
"I think Muslims will be shocked," said Charlotte Maury, a historical consultant for the Louvre. "That's why we put it on the side."
"We felt we had to use them, to illustrate (Islamic) history the way we see it," she said.
Maury said Muhammad's face was only covered up in Islamic art starting in the 15th century, when Muslim scholars decided to interpret the veiled figure as a more respectful image.
The Quran has no direct prohibition against depicting Mohammad, though it does contain verses saying that those who insult him are cursed.

Writing a Jetty Handler
The org.mortbay.jetty.Handler interface provides Jetty's core of content generation or manipulation. Classes that implement this interface are used to coordinate requests, filter requests and generate content.
The core API of the Handler interface is
The target of a handler is an identifier for the resource that should handle the passed request. This is normally the URI that is parsed from a HTTP Request. However, in two key circumstances the target may differ from the URI of the passed request:
- If the request has been dispatched to a named resource, such as a named servlet, then the target is the name of that resource.
- If the request is being made by a call to RequestDispatcher.include(...)
then the target is the URI of the included resource and will be different to the URI of the actual request.
The Request and Response
The request and response objects used in the signature of the handle method are HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. These are the standard APIs and are moderately restricted in what can be done to the request and response. More often than not, access to the jetty implementations of these classes is required: Request and Response. However, as the request and response may be wrapped by handlers, filters and servlets, it is not possible to pass the implementation directly. The following mantra will retrieve the core implementation objects from under any wrappers:
Handlers are usually arranged in a list and a request presented to each handler in turn until (or at most) one indicates that the request has been handled. In this situation, this will allow handlers to:
- Ignore requests that are not applicable
- Handle requests by populating the response and/or generating content
- Modify the request but allow it to pass onto the next handler(s). Headers and attributes may be modified or an InputStream filter added
- Modify the response but allow the request to pass onto the next handler(s). Headers may be modified or OutputStream filters added
These are the handlers that implement the org.mortbay.jetty.Handler interface package:
There are some examples of implementing custom handlers in the Embedded Examples.

Water Bouncer vs Water Trampoline? Know the Difference Before Buying
There's a hot new trend among kids, and it's NOT a gadget, it's not powered by the Internet, and it doesn't even have a screen. What?!
It's called a water bouncer. So far, mostly passionate gymnasts and adventure-loving enthusiasts who live near a body of water know about it. But it's quickly catching on.
So, What Is a Water Bouncer?
A water bouncer is an inflatable platform that kids (and adults) use for fun and light exercise. It's first inflated and set up on land, and then moved onto the water.
The main parts of a water bouncer are an inflatable outer tube and a jump mat. Since it's so bouncy, it can be used for some light gymnastic exercises. Of course, kids often just use it to bounce for fun.
Starzcom's water bouncer comes with an electric pump which can inflate it in only four minutes. This makes the bouncer a cool party gadget for a day out on the lake. It's light, compact when deflated, quickly inflated, and easy to carry around.
It's a relatively new trend, so the summer of 2020 will hopefully be remembered NOT as a COVID-19 summer, but as the summer the water bouncers took off, covering lakes and bays, providing kids with hours of healthy fun.
How Is a Water Bouncer Different from a Water Trampoline?
Though people sometimes use these two terms interchangeably, there are some clear differences between water bouncers and trampolines.
The main technical difference is that water trampolines use springs to connect the jump mat with the outer tube, while bouncers use webbing. These springs are metal, and many trampolines also have a steel frame strapped to the tube, making the construction a little heavier, but also making trampolines a little bouncier than water bouncers.
Trampolines are also a bit more difficult to assemble, because of the frame and metal parts – it takes more time to set them up than bouncers. That's why their owners often anchor them for the whole summer. Otherwise, it would be a lot of hassle to go through the process multiple times during the season.
Water bouncers are lighter, without any metal parts which makes them ideal for younger children, and they are usually smaller than trampolines. Less costly as well.
Are Water Bouncers Safe?
As we mentioned, water bouncers don't have any metal springs or frames on the outer tube, so they are safer than trampolines. They are completely suitable for younger kids.
They are made of a sturdy PVC material, and can withstand all the jumping, stomping and savagery young kids can summon on their brightest vacation day.
Bouncers also have an anti-skid jump mat surface which decreases the chance of ugly falls and injuries.
It's important to understand that water bouncers are not the same thing as air tracks. If your kids are interested in practicing some riskier gymnast moves, flips, somersaults, etc., it's probably wiser to get an air track. It can be used both on land and water.
Water bouncers are safe as long as they are used properly – for recreational bouncing, light gymnastics, and lazy lounging in the sun.

Code Editor Essentials Part I: How to Speed Up Cursor Movements
To edit something you first need to "get there", i.e. to place your "cursor" close to it. In general, the longer the time you need to reach a given location the more time you waste. Many people don't do anything to speed up the process, though. They either only use arrow keys or mouse for navigation.
Most editors provide many more commands for placing a cursor where you want it (sometimes even more than one cursor!). Using the right ones can improve cursor positioning speed by a factor of 10 or more, especially on large screens.
The most basic way of moving a cursor around is to use arrow keys, which typically move the cursor by one character or line. Home and End keys move a cursor to start or end of a line. There are also PageUp and PageDown keys that do what their names imply. These are not very interesting, so let's take a look at more advanced features.
First, all editors and most OSes support Ctrl + Left/Right for moving a cursor by words. Some editors let you customize how they detect word boundaries – for example if you'd like "next word" command stop at parts of camelCasedNames. There are many more commands for moving a cursor by some unit. With a single keypress, you can jump to the next sentence, next paragraph, next expression, top/half/bottom of a screen and more.
Editors vary in how well they recognize the syntactic structure of edited text. You should look for an editor that allows for at least jumping to matching parentheses/quotes, even if it lacks full "forward expression" command.
All the shown movement commands are easy to use, but not always very efficient. Sometimes you need to execute them (press a key shortcut) many times to get what you want. Once in such a situation it's time to use more advanced commands.
NOTE: some editors allow you to use a "numerical prefix", which will repeat the next command that many times. It's not a widely available feature, but almost all editors have plugins for this, even if they don't support it directly. This lets you alleviate some pain of having to press some key repeatedly.
First is search, which you can (and should) use for navigation on both short and long distances:
NOTE: most editors remember (at least one) last string you were searching for and use this as a default if you don't provide any string at all. This means that you can tap your search key twice to get quickly to the next class, function, or any other frequently occurring string.
If searching is not fast or convenient enough, we can use its simplified version, known in Vim as "f" command. It searches forward for the first occurrence of a given character:
You can usually press the same key many times for jumping to the following occurrences.
There's also a way to highlight all characters of a given kind and let the user jump to any of them quickly:
If you know that you want to get to one of the lines containing a word, you can use extended search commands, like "occur" in Emacs:
If you know some other powerful commands for navigating through code let us know in the comments.
Piotr has been programming since forever! He's passionate about polyglot programming and original, experimental programming languages. He tries to apply knowledge of both to production quality systems in a real life.

command{\A}{\mathcal{A}} \newcommand{\F}{\mathbb{F}} \newcommand{\Sq}{\mathrm{Sq}} \newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb{Z}}$Here's another another example that's worth considering. The method I'll suggest for computing the differentials is a lot hairier and more technically complex than the others, but it is a generic method, and it's very rewarding to watch work. I should immediately mention this that I first heard of this from Mark Behrens, who in turn said he heard of it from Mikes Hill and Hopkins. I don't know whether the chain stops there or if it continues on.
Tilman Bauer mentioned a nice example of a spectral sequence, the homotopy fixed point spectral sequence arising from the complex conjugation $C_2$-action on complex $K$-theory $KU$: $$E_2^{*, *} = H^*(C_2; \pi_* KU) \Rightarrow \pi_* KU^{hC_2} \cong \pi_* KO.$$ The $E_2$ page of this is simple enough to compute; it ends up looking like $E_2 = \Z[\eta, [\beta^2]^{\pm}] / (2 \eta)$, where $[\beta^2]$ is a class in degree $(4, 0)$ coming from $\beta^2 \in \pi_* KU = \Z[\beta^\pm]$, and $\eta$ is a class in degree $(1, 1)$ coming from the nontriviality of complex conjugation on the Bott bundle $\beta$. For good measure, here's a picture of this spectral sequence:
E2 of KU to KO
What's much less obvious to compute is the first nontrivial differential I've drawn in: $$d_3 [\beta^2] = \eta^3.$$ The way people usually see this, as far as I've heard, is to independently identify $KU^{hC_2}$ with $KO$ and then notice that this differential must exist for real Bott periodicity to be true.
But that isn't what you were asking for, as you were hoping to compute differentials more manually. Here is a different route to producing this differential. As $KU$ is a ring spectrum, it comes with a unit map $\mathbb{S}^0 \to KU$, which is equivariant for the trivial $C_2$-action on $\mathbb{S}^0$. The naturality of fixed point constructions then begets a map of spectral sequences $$\begin{array}{ccc} H^*(C_2; \pi_* \mathbb{S}^0) & \Rightarrow & \pi_* (\mathbb{S}^0)^{hC_2} \\ \downarrow & & \downarrow \\ H^*(C_2; \pi_* KU) & \Rightarrow & \pi_* KU^{hC_2}. \end{array}$$ This becomes useful after making an identification: $(\mathbb{S}^0)^{hC_2}$ for the trivial action is given by the function spectrum $F(BC_2{}_+, \mathbb{S}^0)$, i.e., for the Spanier-Whitehead dual spectrum $D \Sigma^\infty_+ \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty$.
Now recall the cell structure of the top bits of $D \Sigma^\infty_+ \mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^\infty$. Diagrammatically, this is drawn as $$\cdots \overbrace{\bullet - \bullet \phantom{{}-{}} \bullet} - \bullet \phantom{{}-{}} \bullet,$$ where each $\bullet$ denotes a cell (with the rightmost one in dimension 0), each $-$ denotes the multiplication-by-2 map, and the brace denotes the element $\eta$ in the stable stem $\pi_1 \mathbb{S}^0$. This cell structure is actually what dictates the map $H^*(C_2; \pi_0 \mathbb{S}^0) \to H^*(C_2; \pi_0 KU)$ in the spectral sequence: on the $E_1$-page, each cell is represented by a $\Z$ and sent isomorphically to a corresponding $\Z$ in the $E_1$-page for $\pi_* KU^{hC_2}$. The multiplication by $2$ attaching maps become $d_1$-differentials; the action of $d_1$ on the cell in dimension $-s$, corresponding to $H^s(C_2; \pi_0 \mathbb{S}^0)$, is given by multiplication by the degree of the attaching map, and what survives is sent to the elements $1$, $\beta^{-2} \eta^2$, $\beta^{-4} \eta^4$,... in the $E_2$-page for $\pi_* KU^{hC_2}$.
The exciting (and final) observation is that this same procedure determines the $d_3$-differential: it acts on $H^2(C_2; \pi_0 \mathbb{S}^0)$ (i.e., the $(-2)$-cell representative) by mapping to $\eta$ times $H^4(C_2; \pi_0 \mathbb{S}^0)$ (i.e., the $(-4)$-cell representative). Pushing this forward into the spectral sequence for $\pi_* KU^{hC_2}$ begets the differential $$d_3(\beta^{-2} \eta^2) = \beta^{-4} \eta^4 \cdot \eta = \beta^{-4} \eta^5.$$ Translating this differential around using the Leibniz structure recovers the differential I claimed at the start.
These are a lot of fancy words, and proving all the relationships I've claimed in this response is not an easy task, but the end result is very neat! It's also a very general technique: studying these equivariant cells in other $G$-spectra (e.g., some variants of tmf) allows you to produce scores of interesting differentials that you didn't know about before. This specific example is not something I would push on someone "opening the black box" for the first time, but maybe the second or third hundredth time it seems like a fine idea.
In the meantime, the message to take away is that importing differentials by naturality from a filtration spectral sequence which you understand well is a powerful tool when the filtration complex for your favorite spectral sequence is not so easy to write down or to compute with directly.
Think of the specific example as something to look forward to after digesting the rest of the responses to this question.

Your boxed comment is really important. What is being alluded do are universal examples in the style of Bousfield and Kan. – Sean Tilson Jun 21 '13 at 8:06
Computing differentials in spectral sequences can be fun and very useful, and I absolutely agree with OP that the literature does not cover this adequately -- surely not in a book, but even articles using this are few and far between (Ravenel-Wilson being an excellent one, as Eric mentioned). I think there are a number of reasons for this:
 - Like diagram chases (but on a higher level), print form without the time coordinate doesn't lend itself to a good presentation of what's happening from page to page in a spectral sequence
 - Spectral sequence charts are hard to draw (but, if you don't know it, take a look at the "sseq" TeX package)
 - for many people, computing higher differentials in spectral sequences is the epitome of technicality, and they don't want to read it.
So, it seems to be considered more of a craft than something that can be laid out in a textbook. Additionally, correct me if I'm wrong, this is only done in homotopy theory. I don't really understand why that is, there are plenty of spectral sequences in algebraic geometry, for example, but they tend to collapse. I notice you're based at Seattle, so my strong recommendation would be to go ask an expert to teach you -- you've got Ethan Devinatz and John Palmieri right there, right?
I'll add a few random comments about things to learn. One of my favorite (simple) examples is to compute the homotopy groups of connective K-theory by 1) producing a free resolution of $F_2$ over $A(1)$, the subalgebra of the mod-2 Steenrod algebra generated by $Sq^1$ and $Sq^2$. Then notice that this is $H^*(bo;F_2)$ and run the Adams spectral sequence on this. You can also compute the homotopy groups of real K-theory as the fixed points of the conjugation action on complex K-theory using the hom

Biomass Prediction With 3D Point Clouds From LiDAR
With population growth and a shrinking rural workforce, agricultural technologies have become increasingly important. Above-ground biomass (AGB) is a key trait relevant to breeding, agronomy and crop physiology field experiments. However, measuring the biomass of a cereal plot requires cutting, drying and weighing processes, which are laborious, expensive and destructive tasks. This paper proposes a non-destructive and high-throughput method to predict biomass from field samples based on Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). Unlike previous methods that are based on the density of a point cloud or plant height, our biomass prediction network (BioNet) additionally considers plant structure. Our BioNet contains three modules: 1) a completion module to predict missing points due to canopy occlusion; 2) a regularization module to regularize the neural representation of the whole plot; and 3) a projection module to learn the salient structures from a bird's eye view of the point cloud. An attention-based fusion block is used to achieve final biomass predictions. In addition, the complete dataset, including hand-measured biomass and LiDAR data, is made available to the community. Experiments show that our BioNet achieves approximately 33% improvement over current state-of-the-art methods.

r.mask - Facilitates creation of a raster "MASK" map to control raster operations.
The MASK is only applied when reading an existing GRASS raster map, for example when used in a module as an input map. The MASK will block out certain areas of a raster map from analysis and/or display, by "hiding" them from sight of other GRASS modules. Data falling within the boundaries of the MASK can be modified and operated upon by other GRASS raster modules; data falling outside the MASK is treated as if it were NULL.
Because the MASK is actually only a reclass map named "MASK", it can be copied, renamed, removed, and used in analyses, just like other GRASS raster map layers. The user should be aware that a MASK remains in place until a user renames it to something other than "MASK", or removes it using "r.mask -r" or g.remove.
Grid cells in the MASK map containing 0 or NULL will replace data with NULL, while cells containing other values will allow data to pass through unaltered.
To restore raster operations to normal (i.e., all cells of the current region), remove the MASK file by setting the -r remove MASK flag. In this case, a dummy value must also be given for the input parameter. A MASK also can be removed by using g.remove or by renaming it to any other name with g.rename.
The above method for specifying a "mask" may seem counterintuitive. Areas inside the MASK are not hidden; areas outside the MASK will be ignored until the MASK file is removed.
The MASK is read as an integer map. If MASK is actually a floating-point map, the values will be converted to integers using the map's quantisation rules (this defaults to round-to-nearest, but can be changed with r.quant).
r.mask uses r.reclass to create a reclassification of an existing raster map and name it MASK. A reclass map takes up less space, but is affected by any changes to the underlying map from which it was created. The user can select category values from the input raster to use in the MASK with the maskcats parameter; if r.mask is run from the command line, the category values listed in maskcats must be quoted (see example below).
Somewhat similar program functions to those performed by r.mask can be done using r.mapcalc, g.region, and other commands.
The examples are based on the North Carolina sample dataset.
Create a raster mask, for contraining the calculation of univariate statistics of the elevation values for "lakes":
# set computation region to lakes raster map
g.region raster=lakes -p
# use lakes as MASK
r.mask raster=lakes
# get statistics for elevation pixels of lakes:
r.univar elevation
Remove the raster mask ("MASK" map) with the -r flag:
r.mask -r
Creating a mask from selected categories in the North Carolina 'geology_30m' raster map:
g.region raster=geology_30m -p
r.category geology_30m

Anyway thanks for that solution. – bumerang Jan 14 '13 at 6:24
Okay, this is how it works, you were actually not too far off as you started, but what you actually look for are references. This is a general procedure:
As there is a relation between parent and child-nodes on their ID, you first need to index the data based on the ID. I do this here with an array ($rows) to simulate your data access, if you read from the database, it would be similar. With this indexing you can also add additional properties like your empty data:
// create an index on id
$index = array();
foreach($rows as $row)
{
 $row['data'] = (object) array();
 $index[$row['id']] = $row;
}
So now all entries are indexed on their ID. This was the first step.
The second step is equally straight forward. Because we now can access each node based on it's ID in the $index, we can assign the children to their parent.
There is one "virtual" node, that is the one with the ID 0. It does not exists in any of the rows, however, if we could add children to it too, we can use this children collection as the store for all root nodes, in your case, there is a single root node.
Sure, for the ID 0, we should not process the parent - because it does not exists.
So let's do that. We make use of references here because otherwise the same node could not be both parent and child:
// build the tree
foreach($index as $id => &$row)
{
 if ($id === 0) continue;
 $parent = $row['parent'];
 $index[$parent]['children'][] = &$row;
}
unset($row);
Because we use references, the last line takes care to unset the reference stored in $row after the loop.
Now all children have been assigned to their parents. That could it be already, however lets not forget the last step, the actual node for the output should be accessed.
For brevity, just assign the root node to the $index itself. If we remember, the only root node we want is the first one in the children array in the node with the ID 0:
// obtain root node
$index = $index[0]['children'][0];
And that's it. We can use it now straight away to generate the JSON:
// output json
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($index);
Finally the whole code at a glance:
<?php
/**
 * @link _URL_
 */
$rows = array(
 array('id' => 5273, 'parent' => 0, 'name' => 'John Doe'),
 array('id' => 6032, 'parent' => 5273, 'name' => 'Sally Smith'),
 array('id' => 6034, 'parent' => 6032, 'name' => 'Mike Jones'),
 array('id' => 6035, 'parent' => 6034, 'name' => 'Jason Williams'),
 array('id' => 6036, 'parent' => 5273, 'name' => 'Sara Johnson'),
 array('id' => 6037, 'parent' => 5273, 'name' => 'Dave Wilson'),
 array('id' => 6038, 'parent' => 6037, 'name' => 'Amy Martin'),
);
// create an index on id
$index = array();
foreach($rows as $row)
{
 $row['data'] = (object) [];
 $index[$row['id']] = $row;
}
// build the tree
foreach($index as $id => &$row)
{
 if ($id === 0) continue;
 $parent = $row['parent'];
 $index[$parent]['children'][] = &$row;
}
unset($row);
// obtain root node
$index = $index[0]['children'][0];
// output json
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($index, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
Which would create the following json (here with PHP 5.4s' JSON_PRETTY_PRINT):
{
 "id": 5273,
 "parent": 0,
 "name": "John Doe",
 "data": {
 },
 "children": [

I am going to keep trying this in the morning. On first implementation it seemed to have issues. I am not sure what yet and will try to comment back with details. When I implemented it I don't get an error and the structure seems right but a lot of data is missing. – maestrojed Jun 28 '12 at 9:27

Please note couple of things, Firstly, Fill the $data array with yours. It does not have all the values you used in the question. Secondly, You can make the $fdata local to ConvertToMulti function. Making it global may cause problem in your implementation. Good Luck with your implementation – FatalError Jun 28 '12 at 9:36

Calculating the Force Constant of a Spring
مصدر:دقة Qianye زمن:2023-5-16
Introduction
The force constant of a spring is a measure of its stiffness. It is defined as the ratio of the force applied to the spring to the amount of deformation it experiences. The force constant of a spring is an important parameter in many applications, from designing suspension systems to studying the dynamics of molecular systems. In this article, we will discuss how to calculate the force constant of a spring.
Experiment
To calculate the force constant of a spring, we need to perform an experiment in which we apply a known force to the spring and measure the resulting deformation. The apparatus required for this experiment includes a spring, a set of weights, a ruler, and a balance.
The first step is to measure the mass of the weights using the balance. We need to know the mass of the weights so that we can calculate the force they exert on the spring using the formula F = mg, where F is the force, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Next, we need to attach the weights to the spring and measure the resulting deformation using the ruler. We should make sure that the spring is hanging vertically and that the weights are not touching the ground or any other object. We should also take care to avoid any external forces that could affect the measurement.
Using the formula for the force applied to the spring, we can calculate the force constant using the formula k = F/x, where k is the force constant, F is the force applied to the spring, and x is the resulting deformation.
Results
The value of the force constant we obtain will depend on the specific spring we use, as well as the amount of force applied and the resulting deformation. To ensure accurate results, we should repeat the experiment several times and take the average value of the force constant.

Discussion
The force constant of a spring is an important parameter in many applications, from designing suspension systems to studying the dynamics of molecular systems. It is a measure of the spring\'s stiffness, and it determines how much force is required to deform the spring by a given amount.
In this experiment, we calculated the force constant of a spring by measuring the force applied to it and the resulting deformation. We used the formula k = F/x to calculate the force constant, where k is the force constant, F is the force applied to the spring, and x is the resulting deformation.
The value of the force constant we obtained will depend on the specific spring we used, as well as the amount of force applied and the resulting deformation. To ensure accurate results, we repeated the experiment several times and took the average value of the force constant.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we have discussed how to calculate the force constant of a spring. This is an important parameter that is used in many applications, from designing suspension systems to studying the dynamics of molecular systems. By performing an experiment in which we apply a known force to the spring and measure the resulting deformation, we can calculate the force constant using the formula k = F/x. The value of the force constant we obtain will depend on the specific spring we use, as well as the amount of force applied and the resulting deformation, and we should repeat the experiment several times to ensure accurate results.

Use terrestrials now for better success when trout fishing
Orion, The Hunter, makes its appearance in the autumn night sky in late September.
Considering the time of year, the name of the constellation about says it all.
This is the period when all wildlife - fish, fowl and fur-clad critters - get serious about putting on a few pounds that will see them through the long, lean winter.
Trout are no different. Consequently, early October and through mid-November is the time to offer a bit more than those dainty dry flies of summer.
Through late November, or even early December, depending on the whims of nature as to weather, is when terrestrial flies offer a hefty meal to trout that are instinctively trying to store some calories.
Here then are five flies experienced trout anglers reach for when autumn leaves litter the surface of their favorite trout haunts.
The most common terrestrial insects are ants, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets and inchworms.
Certainly, the imitation grasshopper should be on the top of every fly fisherman's list.
Unlike the dainty flies of summer, it sometimes pays to allow the grasshopper to land in the water with a "plop" to alert those big browns and bows that are on the feed.
Admittedly, the grasshopper is often a cumbersome fly and not one to be addressed by those using ultra-light fly rods such as Orvis' iconic Flea rod.
Try the grasshopper in sizes 8-14, but be prepared. Big browns and bows can and will take a hopper in delicate ways, but as often as not the strike is a slashing, lunge-type hit that comes like a bolt out of the blue.
Next is the beetle. Though trout don't consult a list of nutritious foods, their survival instinct dictates this is one dish that will help them put on some weight.
Again, don't be afraid to allow the beetle to plop into the water while working undercuts and embankments.
Try the beetle in sizes 8-14.
The inchworm is the pupae stage of the moth, and this fly can do serious harm to a trout population.
It can be fished solo or as a dropper fly in combination with a fly such as the beetle or hopper.
Though the inchworm is not a dominant insect during fall, there are still some around and even if they are not visible on the stream or in the brush, trout don't seem to be able to resist them.
Try the inchworm in sizes 12-16.
The ant is usually tied dry, but sub-surface ants (wet) are also available through many well-stocked outlets, including Cabela's, Bass Pro Shop and Orvis.
This tiny fly is frequently underrated, especially in view of the fact that it is always plentiful on almost any trout waters, and trout do get used to seeing and feeding on it. Try the ant in sizes 10-16.
Finally, the imitation cricket is the Rodney Dangerfield of terrestrials.
It "don't get no respect," and it certainly should.
Like the grasshopper, anglers need not concern themselves with a "proper" or dainty presentation.
Cast to undercuts and typical fish-holding areas, and then give it a few twitches.
If it makes a "plop" upon landing, so much the better. Try the cricket in sizes 8-14.
During the last decade or two, trout fishing has become popular as a year-round endeavor and lots of enjoyable trout fishing remains.
Try one or more of these terrestrials and you probably will be pleasantly surprised at their effectiveness, especially during fall.

What is parameter setting?
After wafer fabrication, all key application parameter of the device are stored in NVM for system function configuration and calibration.
During and after system assembly, certain parameters of the ICs may have to be configured and stored so that they can work efficiently with other system components. By adjusting the parameters, designers can calibrate performance discrepancies to match system specifications.
Driver ICs typically require NVM to store device parameters. For example, gray levels and gamma curves are stored in display driver ICs for image quality optimization. More complex systems may require real-time recording of system parameters (i.e. battery impedance) in order to improve product life (i.e. laptop battery packs).

Field of Work: Studying alternative ways to train nurses in clinical settings as a way to alleviate the nursing shortage.
Problem Synopsis: The United States is facing a nursing shortage that is predicted to grow to up to one million nurses by 2020.
Synopsis of the Work: Researchers conducted a literature review and held a conference to explore the VA Nursing Academy's Enhancing Academic Partnerships Program and other innovative programs to train nurses in clinical settings.
Key Results: The literature review indicated a significant need for more rigorous studies on training nurses in clinical settings, as a way to alleviate the nursing shortage. The researchers noted the need for more research to examine the effectiveness of academic-clinical partnerships and measure other approaches that may be effective and efficient in expanding the nursing faculty.
At the "Conference on Enhancing Nursing Undergraduate Teaching and Learning in the Clinical Setting: What Do We Know and How Do We Move Forward?" (October 19-21, 2010, in Arlington, Va.) 187 nursing educators, nurses, physicians and policy-makers shared best practices and insights about academic-clinical partnerships, expanding and developing clinical faculty, and non-traditional teaching settings (e.g., clinics for homeless people and nursing homes).


text: This thesis presents two alternative building-based hydroelectric technologies with the potential to improve energy efficiency at an urban scale. These systems are a hydroelectric turbine driven by wastewater, and building-based electricity storage systems in the form of either pumped hydro or gravity modules. Current analysis investigates the techno-economic tradeoffs of each technology through numerical modeling of each system and their corresponding scenarios. Results show that the wastewater hydroelectric turbine can increase a building's pumping system's efficiency by 36% and is cost-effective when installed in buildings with a minimum of 35 floors and 47 units per floor. This is highly sensitive to electricity rate. The gravity module can offer higher power capacity at a lower levelized electricity cost than the pumped hydro, with a maximum energy capacity reaching 1,358 kWh in 300 m buildings, and lower levelized electricity cost than equivalent lithium-ion battery systems in all buildings taller than 156 m.


This wild story was told again by SFGate this week and is trending. When you find something in a muddy creek in San Rafael, could it also mean someone just made the story up?
"For centuries, historians had searched for Drake's plate, the only physical evidence of Sir Francis Drake's expedition to the California coast. The English privateer, fresh off raiding Spanish ships and towns along the Pacific coast, found safe harbor in the Point Reyes area in June 1579. While resting and restocking there, he claimed the territory for Queen Elizabeth I. He named it New Albion.
According to crew member accounts, Drake left an inscribed brass plate in the area to stake his claim. But in the 350 years since, no one had seen it.
Bolton was convinced it was still out there. Whenever his students said they'd be taking a weekend trip to the seashore, he asked them to keep an eye out for Drake's plate.
Now, he had it. It was not what he expected, sure, but Bolton had explanations for everything. He told the assembled crowd and the media there was no doubt this plate was real. Its craftsmanship and writing ("BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND IN THE NAME OF HERR MAIESTYQVEEN ELIZABETH OF ENGLAND AND HERR SVCCESSORS FOREVER, I TAKE POSSESSION OF THIS KINGDOME," it read in part) was consistent with the 1500s.
In addition, he said, a prankster would have left it near Drake's Bay. It made no sense to leave it near a muddy creek in San Rafael. This could only mean one thing: Historians were wrong. Drake had entered San Francisco Bay, almost 200 years before Gaspar de Portolá "discovered" the area.""

Hu and colleagues were able to create electrospun cellulose acetate nanofiber membranes as scaffold materials for the beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) to grow in a biofilm formation. They found nanofiber membranes proved to be an excellent scaffold for bacteria biofilm with high stability.
In comparison with planktonic bacteria, L. plantarum biofilms on nanofiber membranes showed excellent gastrointestinal resistance. Instead of decreasing, the number of viable cells increased after three hours digestion in vitro. The L. plantarum biofilm-integrated nanofiber membranes were used as reusable starter cultures for fermented milk production showing excellent fermentative ability and higher survival of L. plantarum during shelf life.
The viable cells in fermented milk remained at 11 log CFU/g throughout the reusable batches, which is far above the required value of 7 log CFU/g in commercial products. In addition, the produced fermented milk possesses shorter fermentation time and higher survival of probiotics during shelf life.
The results suggest electrospun nanofiber membranes are ideal scaffold materials for bacteria biofilms immobilization in biotechnology and fermentation engineering.
Findings were published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

cin.get() only retrieves one character of input. Why not use
int input1, input2;
cin >> input1;
cin >> input2;
Using std::cin this way (with operator>>) also takes care of any surplus newline or space characters a user entered.

Have you ever heard someone sing the wrong lyrics to a song? Maybe a child gave the nursery rhyme "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" a new meaning by replacing the line "life is but a dream" with "life's a butter dream," or an adult belted out "Hold me closer, Tony Danza" instead of "Hold me closer, tiny dancer" to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." Misinterpreted song lyrics are a fairly common phenomenon, and they're called mondegreens.
A mondegreen is a word or phrase resulting from a misinterpretation of another word or phrase that we hear. Mondegreens share homophony (meaning they sound like) with the original wording, but often change the meaning of the word or phrase entirely—with amusing results. The term mondegreen is usually applied to misheard song lyrics or lines of poetry, but can also refer to other types of speech. For example, someone might think the sarcastic saying "Thank you, Captain Obvious" is actually "Thank you, Katherine Obvious."
Mondegreens are not to be confused with malapropisms, "the act or habit of misusing words ridiculously, especially by the confusion of words that are similar in sound" (as in, "dance the flamingo" instead of "dance the flamenco") or eggcorns, "a word or phrase that is a seemingly logical alteration of another word or phrase that sounds similar and has been mishear or misinterpreted" (as in "old wise tale" for "old wives' tale").
So why do we call these misinterpretations mondegreens? The term is actually a mondegreen itself. Sylvia Wright, an American author, coined the term after a phrase she recalled mishearing as a young girl. According to Wright, she believed the first stanza from the 17th century ballad "The Bonny Earl O'Moray" featured two unfortunate aristocrats:
Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where have ye been?
They have slain the Earl O'Moray
And Lady Mondegreen.
The correct phrasing of the fourth line is actually "And laid him on the green." While Wright gave us a name for this phenomenon in 1954, people have been misinterpreting words and phrases since the beginning of speech.
Children prove an especially entertaining source of mondegreens. Younger students in the United States are known to confuse lines of the Pledge of Allegiance, leading to mondegreens such as "I led the pigeons to the flag" ("I pledge allegiance to the flag), "to the Republic for witches' dance" (instead of "for which it stands"), "invisible" (for "indivisible"), and "liver tea and just us four, all" (rather than "liberty and justice for all").
Mondegreens can often be a great source of entertainment. In 2013, a six-second video on the social media platform Vine went viral for its portrayal of a young girl misinterpreting the lyric "You can call me Queen Bee" from "Royals" by New Zealand artist Lorde.
Now it's your turn! Share some of your favorite mondegreens in the comments below. Which lyrics have you misinterpreted before?

NEW ZEALAND – Archeologists at an excavation site in Dunedin, New Zealand, discovered the fossilized remains of winged humans!
The discovery was made yesterday morning when Dr. Herman Meyer of Massey University uncovered the fossilized bones of a human male with bird-like wings.
Further digging by Dr. Meyer and his team yielded even more astonishing discoveries. After the 30 day excavation, which concluded on Saturday, over 250 winged creatures had been found.
"I couldn't believe what I was seeing," said Dr. Meyer. "One after another these fossils kept appearing out of the dirt. It led me to think that an entire civilization of winged humans once lived here!"
Dr. Meyer and his team ran tests on the fossilized remains, concluding that the winged humans were a nomadic people that roamed the Earth in mass groupings or "flocks."
"These winged humans were a civilized people" said Dr. Meyer. "They used tools and built houses. They may have even developed their own language."
Additional tests found that the winged humans could fly at speeds of up to 60 mph and at altitudes of over 6,000 ft.
More impressive was that dating techniques indicated the fossils to be at least 100,000 years old, an age which Dr. Meyer and his team consider "recent" in the timeline of human evolution.
"The fact that these fossils are only 100,000 years old is astounding," said Dr. Meyer. "If what the dating techniques indicate is true, then these winged humans developed after the era of modern Homo sapiens."
"That means they could still be around," he added.
The news of Dr. Meyer's discovery has sent shockwaves through the scientific community, forcing scientists everywhere to rethink the history of mankind.
"Dr. Meyer has rewritten the book of human evolution," said PhD Ape, WWN's resident expert on all things scientific. "He is bound to win the Nobel Prize."
Some in the scientific community say the winged humans may be the key to understanding the mysteries of modern science, like where Bat Boy came from or where Elvis is hiding.
So keep your eyes peeled, Weekly World News readers! You might just see a UFH's (Unidentified Flying Human) soaring through the sky!

Failure codes and asset errors
Within most CMMS systems, failure codes can be used on a work order to help identify why a particular type of equipment or asset failed. These codes are typically alphanumeric characters that are attributed to abbreviations of their descriptions. For example, a failure code such as 'JAMD' refers to 'Equipment Jammed.' Within most organizations, failure codes are vital in determining repeated errors in assets and, at the same time, help troubleshoot these errors early on.
Benefits of using failure codes:
1. Reliability: Failure codes can help organizations perform reliability analysis on equipment failures to improve up-time.
2. Reduce Maintenance Expense: Failure code analysis can help organizations avoid unnecessary maintenance and reduce their maintenance expense.
3. Continuous Improvement: A big bonus that comes with failure codes is that when companies use it to their advantage, they have a whole backlog of historical data that can be viewed. This is useful to improve the design of new facilities and purchase new equipment that delivers the best value to the organization.
Implementing tougher policing of failure codes
Given the benefits of using failure codes, it is no doubt that these codes are useful to organizations that are asset dependent and rely on high-quality equipment. Creating a mandatory use of failure codes within your organization can help improve the ROI of your assets in the long run and, at the same time, help eliminate repeated errors. If you would like to learn more about how to set up failure codes properly and get the most value from your existing historical failure code data, click on one of our resources below, or book a demo with us to chat with an expert!

Parties are social events often involving a lot of activity and a lot of eating! Despite this, hypos may still occur when enormous amounts of energy are burnt up through games and excitement. Making sure your child gets enough carbohydrate (every three hours or so) to prevent hypos is the main concern.
Your child should be allowed to enjoy the foods offered at the party, including snack foods and birthday cake. Diet soft drinks or cordials can be provided for all the children to enjoy.
If you are not at the party, provide your host or another adult with simple instructions about hypo management and make sure that your child knows what to do if they have a hypo. It's also important to be aware that the extra activity at parties can lead to delayed hypos so extra supper may be needed.
Birthdays may seem to occur every week but they are not an everyday event and are important in the development of your child's social skills. So it's important to let your child join in and have fun!

Benchmarking Software and Design Automation Tools for Quantum Computing
Quantum software tools for a wide variety of design tasks on and across different levels of abstraction are crucial in order to eventually realize useful quantum applications. This requires practical and relevant benchmarks for new software tools to be empirically evaluated and compared to the current state of the art. While benchmarks for specific design tasks are commonly available, the demand for an overarching cross-level benchmark suite is not fully met yet and there is no mutual consolidation in how quantum software tools are evaluated thus far. In this work, we propose the MQT Bench benchmark suite (as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT)) based on four core traits: (1) cross-level support for different abstraction levels, (2) accessibility via an easy-to-use web interface (_URL_ (3) provision of a broad selection of benchmarks to facilitate generalizability, as well as (4) extendability to future algorithms, gate-sets, and hardware architectures. By comprising more than 30.000 benchmark circuits ranging from 2 up to 130 qubits on four abstraction levels, MQT Bench presents a first step towards benchmarking different abstraction levels with a single benchmark suite.

UK-based orbital launch services company, Orbex, spent Monday 2 October with pupils from Farr High School, Thurso.
As part of a secondary school careers event, Orbex highlighted the job opportunities, different skills and the pathways that can lead to a career in Scotland's spaceflight industry.
Thanks to the rapid growth of the Scottish spaceflight industry, space job opportunities are generating high levels of interest, especially among young people. Kirsteen Mackay, Space Port Preparation and Support Manager, Orbex, joined representatives from five other key community employers at the event aimed at giving secondary school students the chance to learn about opportunities in the local area.
Kirsteen met with 55 students at Farr High School to describe how Orbex developed one of the most advanced, low carbon, high-performance micro-launch vehicles in the world. The young people were particularly interested in the way Orbex has succeeded in combining its business and sustainability goals. Its reusable rocket, Orbex Prime, is engineered to leave zero debris in orbit and its Sutherland spaceport aims to be the first, globally, to be carbon-neutral in its construction and operation.
Kirsteen addressed students' interest in all aspects of rocket design and development and helped students to understand the career opportunities in the commercial space industry. Kirsteen, who is also a director of the Melness Crofters' Estate, was able to provide her unique perspective on the skills and pathways that have enabled her to combine her passion and commitment to the land and local community with a career in high-tech.
Kirsteen, Space Port Preparation and Support Manager, Orbex commented: "It's been a privilege engaging with the students at Farr High School about the many opportunities available right here and now in spaceflight. Although our rockets go up into space, we as a company are rooted in the community and surrounding landscape. That's why we want to encourage local young people to get involved and inspire them to aim for a career in the space industry."
