Harvey Goldsmith announces Earth Aid Live, a global concert series in 2025 to spur climate action, featuring virtual and live events.
Harvey Goldsmith, known for the London Live Aid, unveils Earth Aid Live. This project aims to combat the climate crisis.
The event will span six countries on five continents in August 2025. Cities include London, Los Angeles, and Rio de Janeiro. The lineup is pending. Goldsmith plans similar events for 2030 and 2035, featuring both metaverse and real-life concerts.
Goldsmith expressed enthusiasm, emphasizing unity, sustainability, and positive planetary impact. He aims to build on Live Aid's success, uniting people globally.
Goldsmith, after joining forces with Bob Geldof, raised £140m with Live Aid in 1985. He has since worked on numerous charity concerts and tours with artists like Bruce Springsteen and Luciano Pavarotti.
Earth Aid Live continues the entertainment industry's focus on climate crisis awareness. In 2007, Goldsmith advised Live Earth, initiated by Al Gore and Kevin Wall. It featured stars like Madonna and Kanye West.
The Global Citizen festival, mainly targeting poverty, recently included climate action. Its 2023 Paris event featured Lenny Kravitz and Billie Eilish, a known climate advocate. Music industry groups like Reverb and EarthPercent, co-founded by Brian Eno, are also active in climate efforts.
Artists like Coldplay have been recognized for eco-friendly touring practices. However, stars using private jets, like Drake and Taylor Swift, face criticism. Swift, in particular, is scrutinized for her jet's emissions, which a student tracks. She threatened legal action, citing safety concerns.

The human brain is composed of approximately 100 billion neurons, each with distinct functions. One of those functions is face perception—the ability to recognize what someone looks like and recall who they are. The ability to recognize faces persists for years, even though the brain is also plastic, constantly rewiring its connections. This raises a question: do the neurons responsible for face perception change due to this constant rewiring?
A team of scientists from the National Institute of Health may have an answer. They located the brain regions where face-specific neurons resided by recording activity using functional MRI (fMRI) while showing macaque monkeys images with and without faces on them. Microwire electrode arrays (tens of tiny electrodes) were then implanted into these brain regions to provide detailed records of the activity of neurons.
Initial recordings were made after implantation to obtain a baseline record of how the neurons responded to different images. This helped to isolate neurons that were responsive to faces (and to validate that the implanted electrodes actually worked). Over the course of a few weeks, the scientists then showed the monkeys a library of images—some with faces and some without—and investigated the consistency of neural responses over time.
In their analysis, the scientists used waveform shape, frequency (the number of spikes occurring within a second), and consistency to assess changes in the response of the face-specific neurons.
The results showed that face-specific neurons respond to images with faces in the same way over long periods of time—in one case, recordings went for a year. In addition, the same neurons repeatedly respond to the same faces, suggesting a sort of association or mapping: certain faces always triggered certain neurons. This suggests that the brain's ongoing rewiring process doesn't significantly affect them, and thus may not have a large impact on recognition of faces.

In the previous post, I mentioned the 6 services essential to wrap up the Tribal Wars 2 manager: data collection, alert, farm, ops and build-recruit services. Before that to happen however, we need to figure out a way to talk to the game i.e. the authentication service.
Core service overview #
Core services
The source code for this service is hosted at _URL_
The authentication service is sandwiched between the 6 services and the game server. Its purpose is to manage authentication and the message flows to and from the game. At its core, the service has 6 components: socket client, authenticator, log builder and 3 MQ (message queue) components. Each of these components are developed as singletons to:
 - Limit the number of queues and exchanges created on RabbitMQ for MQ components.
 - Limit access points to disk (logs) and game server in case an object is called twice during initialization.
The following sections describes each component in more detail with links to the source code. Please note that the source can change in the future and you should always have a look for the code in the master branch.
Socket Client #
SocketClient (src) is a singleton class, responsible for managing a connection to the game server and handles messages in-and-out of the game to the Authenticator component. To use this class, request for an instance by calling SocketClient.shared.
This class has 2 message handling features: fire-and-forget messaging to the game with fire(message: ISocketMessage), and asynchronous request/reply messaging with request(message: ISocketMessage, reply: (replyMsg: ISocketMessage) => void) and reply(message: ISocketMessage).
To ensure that messages are matched to the request, the game employs an id field. For example, when a request is sent with
{
 "type": "Authentication/login",
 "id": 2,
 //... other data
}
The game would respond with either of the following:
// Valid credentials
{
 "type": "Login/success",
 "id": 2,
 //... other data
}
// Invalid credentials
{
 "type": "System/error" // or something else, I can't remember
 "id": 2,
 //... other data
}
Either way, there's a match of id of 2 in the response field. Internally, SocketClient uses a private _msgId field and an array _replyQueue to keep track of requested IDs to match for responses when they come in.
SocketClient extends node's EventEmitter class. A list of events can be found in SocketClientEvent enum.
Authenticator #
Authenticator is a singleton class, responsible for managing the client sessions and connections to both the game via SocketClient and RabbitMQ via the 3 MQ components. To use this class, request for an instance with Authenticator.shared.
Tribal Wars 2 login message requires a username field of name in the message but does not specify how the password is passed in. This is done either with a pass field with raw password text or token, a generated hash which I have no idea how they get it. In this application, I opted with using pass.
The authenticator starts and ensures the player is authenticated with the game using SocketClient before starting MQ components to ensure that the queued messages will not be processed before the game is connected.
The sequence of data to be sent and received for authenticating a player is shown in the Kibana logs for game-messages.log in the Results section.
MQ components #
The auth-svc has 3 MQ classes as singleton-classes. Each of these are responsible for a different category of messaging to-and-from the game.
Messages sent to and from the game can be divided into 3 categories: request for information (villages on the map, player data), notification from the game (incomings, building/recruit task is completed) and changing a configuration (enable notifications). Due to this nature, the authentication service includes 3 MQ components as mentioned. This is similar to how the game's socket service works behind the scene.
MQProducer and MQConsumer are topic exchanges. When receiving a message through MQProducer.send(message: ISocketMessage) (not a static method), the topic key is created by replacing / with . and send to from.game.exchange to be distributed to interested services. The socket message is sent as a whole. MQConsumer is a queue listening to the to.game.exchange. It listens to everything # and forwards the messages to Authenticator for processing. Currently, the Authenticator class does not attempt to verify the messages.
MQRpcServer implements the RPC pattern. It listens to game.rpc_server queue and sends messages to Authenticator by emitting an event. Aside from the game message, MQRpcServer also passes along the MQ message to be stored in Authenticator to async callback can be achieved.
Log Builder #
The service includes 2 log files stored at /var/log/ in a Node container: game-messages.log and services/auth-svc.log. These are created and written to by the LogBuilder built with WinstonJS. Type and direction of data flows are separated by colours in the diagram above.
FileBeat is configured to monitor /var/log/game-messages.log and /var/log/services/*.log for log files. New log files from other services will be placed in /var/log/services/. This is accomplished by sharing a volume between multiple services.
Secrets #
Throughout the development cycle, I have been using environment variables to load in the player's username, password and world ID. For deployment, these will be replaced with Docker secrets in Docker Swarm.
Changes to technology choices #
From developing this service, I am going to change the deployment technology to Docker Swarm and proxy tool to Traefik.
Kubernetes has a lot of baggage. You don't just use Kubernetes, you use all the tools that makes it better like Helm and Istio. There's a whole new set of commands and languages you gotta master. Docker Swarm's learning curve is less steep. Once you knew Docker CLI, getting the hang of Swarm is easier. Orchestration is a big topic, but the tools shouldn't make it harder.
Next up is Traefik. After using it to configure this blog thanks to Ghost, I don't think that it's the right fit for microservices. For new services and end-points, NGINX needs you to edit and confgure a conf file. These files need to be curated and version-controlled. Traefik's way of configuration by enabling a flag in the docker-compose file is a god-send. The Traefik guys have got to do more marketing to compete.
Putting in the Elastic Stack #
This section is more of a rant. If you want to have a look at the code that makes up the stack for this project, head over to _URL_
In this project, I wanted to setup Elasticsearch, Kibana and Beats on Docker containers. Elastic Co has a reference Elastic stack Docker repository.
The repository sets the default password, create keystores to store passwords and install dashboards, index patterns for beats and apm. That's great and all but the free Elastic stack doesn't have authentication built-in. No security ticks in the Free tier. The LICENSE (Apache 2.0) is no help either. Is this a trial? Yes it is. That was a lot of clicks to find out what's the T&Cs huh.
I don't want my centralised logging service to stop working after 30 days, plus I have mixed feelings about the security feature for this project. Every services are going to be run on the player's machine. Adding security and secrets increase the complexity for development, so at worst when the players want to have some authentication, they could have the services sit behind a proxy like NGINX or Apache and put in authentication. The repository was definitely helpful however, I find their setup-beat.sh helpful in configuring and setting up Elasticsearch and Filebeat.
Spinning up Elasticsearch, Kibana and Filebeat on their own containers was simple enough. For this first step, I chose not to use Logstash and instead use Elasticsearch's ingest nodes to talk to Filebeat. I ran into a wall when trying to configure Elasticsearch's pipelines however.
Firstly, Compose's depends_on and links controls the start-up order of services, not checking and polling the dependencies' health before starting the service of interest. In my case, I wanted to run a shell script to POST custom pipelines into Elasticsearch once it's healthy. In my case, I went with creating a separate container with a script that keeps waiting until Elasticsearch is ready, similar to how setup-beat.sh works.
Secondly, Elastic's documentation is not noob-friendly. Run the Filebeat setup section in Filebeat on Docker documentation includes the setup command which is not explained. Further down the page where the volume-mounted configuration code

3D Shape Reconstruction from Multiple Range Image Views
Ganapathi Annadurai, K. (2006). 3D Shape Reconstruction from Multiple Range Image Views (Thesis, Master of Science (MSc)). The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. Retrieved from _URL_
Permanent Research Commons link: _URL_
Shape reconstruction of different three dimensional objects using multiple range images has evolved recently within the recent past. In this research shape reconstruction of a three dimensional object using multiple range image views is investigated.Range images were captured using the Waikato Range Imager. This range images camera is novel in that it uses heterodyne imaging and is capable of acquiring range images with precision less than a millimeter simultaneously over a full field. Multiple views of small objects were taken and the FastRBF was explored as a mean of registration and surface rendering. For comparison to the real range data, simulated range data under noise free condition were also generated and reconstructed with the FastRBF tool box.The registration and reconstruction of simple object was performed using different views with the FastRBF toolbox. Analysis of the registration process showed that the translation error produced due to distortion during registration of different views hinders the process of reconstructing a complete surface. While analyzing the shape reconstruction using the FastRBF tool it is also determined that a small change in accuracy values can affect the interpolation drastically. Results of reconstruction of a real 3D object from multiple views are shown.

224: Violette Szabo
Allied Spy During World War II
Born: 26 June 1921, Paris, France
Died: 5 February 1945, Ravensbruck Concentration Camp, Brandenburg, Germany
Violette worked for the Special Operations Executive and was parachuted into France before being captured and executed by the Nazi Regime.
She met her husband and married him very quickly—Etienne was thirty-one and she nineteen when they got hitched.
Etienne returned to the front lines and was killed in 1942. Violette learned after Etienne had left to return to the front that she was pregnant, and their daughter was born in 1942—Tania (Etienne died three months after Tania was born and never got to see her or meet her in person).
Violette joined the SOE because of Etienne's death.
She and several others were parachuted into France the day after the D-Day landings (it was her second landing in France, with the first mission being a success).
After her capture she was taken to Ravensbruck and then to Torgau Concentration Camp.
After toiling for months at Torgau she was returned to Ravensbruck. Violette and two other captured spies (Denise Bloch and Lilian Rolfe) were executed by being shot in the back of the head.
She was posthumously awarded the George Cross for her bravery—the second woman to be awarded that medal. Violette was also awarded the Croix du Guerre and La Medaille de la Resistance by the French.
She and Etienne are the most decorated married couple from World War II.

Children with autism love their moms, but they might have trouble having a decent conversation with them.
Even the most intelligent children with autism spectrum disorders can find it extremely challenging and frustrating to have a conversation with family members. Getting ready for Mother's Day, I designed two detailed worksheets to help kids talk with their mothers. (Lots of kids without autism have this problem too! Feel free to share with typical kids as well.)
How to print the worksheets:
Click on each image. Wait a moment for it to open in another window. Print. The images will be much easier to see if you print in color.
How to use worksheet number 1:
Introduce using words like this: "Everyone has their own separate mind. Each person has things they like and things they don't care for. We are going to use worksheets and practice conversations to figure out how to have a good conversation with your mom. Your mom might like some things that you also like. She will certainly like a lot of things that you don't care about at all."
Alternative: Have the child interview his mother to find out what she likes.
Worksheet 2: Questions, Comments and Friendly Comments.
(This worksheet is derived from my Green Zone Curriculum, a kit of conversation starter materials for kids with ASD that includes a photo matching game, two workbooks and a set of illustrated slides.) You should explain that these three categories of things to say are really important in conversation. Practice saying them together out loud. Demonstrate how each is used in conversation.
Using the worksheets together in role play practice:
You (teacher, therapist, SLP) can pretend to be the child's mother. You can hold the two worksheets facing the child while the child practices talking with you.
The best way to use the worksheets, of course, is with the actual mother present.
Note: Many children do not live with their mothers. If you are using these in a class, alter the worksheets as needed for grandmothers or other female guardians.
I hope you enjoy the worksheets, and I hope the autistic children you work with will benefit from using them.

Refolding of denatured RNase A as a model of inclusion bodies was performed by reversed micelles formulated with sodium di-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) in isooctane. In the novel refolding process, a solid-liquid extraction was utilized as an alternative to the ordinary protein extraction by reversed micelles based on a liquid-liquid extraction. First, the effects of operational parameters such as concentration of AOT, Wo (=[H2O]/[AOT]), and pH were examined on the solubilization of solid denatured proteins into a reversed micellar solution. The solubilization was facilitated by a high AOT concentration, a high Wo value, and a high pH in water pools. These conditions are favorable for the dispersion of the solid protein aggregates in an organic solvent. Second, the renaturation of the denatured RNase A solubilized into the reversed micellar solution was conducted by addition of glutathione as a redox reagent. A complete renaturation of RNase A was accomplished by adjusting the composition of the redox reagent even at a high protein concentration in which protein aggregation would usually occur in aqueous media. In addition, the renaturation rates were improved by optimizing water content (Wo) and the pH of water pools in reversed micelles. Finally, the recovery of renatured RNase A from the reversed micellar solution was performed by adding a polar organic solvent such as acetone into the reversed micellar solution. This precipitation method was effective for recovering proteins from reversed micellar media without any significant reduction in enzymatic activity.

Self-Reporting Potential Security Clearance Issues - ClearanceJobs
Self-Reporting Potential Security Clearance Issues
Security Clearance security-clearance_4
Federal agencies require individuals with security clearances to promptly report a wide range of security and suitability issues to their security officers. These requirements vary somewhat from agency to agency, but many follow the reporting requirements listed in DoD Regulation 5200.2-R, "Department of Defense Personnel Security Program." The term, "self-reporting," only applies to: 1) individuals with active security clearances and 2) applicants for security clearances who have already submitted a Questionnaire for National Security Positions (SF86) and are waiting on a clearance determination. Self-reporting is different from the requirement to disclose unfavorable information on an SF86 when applying for a security clearance.
The Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) receives about 8,000 "incident reports" a year on cleared federal contractors who have had security-related problems. These problems range from bankruptcies to drunk driving arrests to security violations. Most of these incident reports are based on information self-reported by the cleared contractors to their security officers. Others are based on information reported by supervisors and coworkers. Since DISCO has security clearance authority for one million federal contractors, a mere 8,000 cases a year suggests that the majority of security-related incidents go unreported. One reason for this is that cleared personnel often don't know what types of events must be self-reported. Many think that it's unnecessary to report any unfavorable information until the next periodic reinvestigation for their clearance.
What information needs to be reported?
Paragraph C9.1.4.2 of DoD 5200.2-R states:
Moreover, individuals having access to classified information must report promptly to their security office:
 1. 1. Any form of contact, intentional or otherwise, with individuals of any nationality, whether within or outside the scope of the employee's official activities, in which:
 1. 1.1. Illegal or unauthorized access is sought to classified or otherwise sensitive information.
 2. 1.2. The employee is concerned that he or she may be the target of exploitation by a foreign entity.
 2. 2. Any information of the type referred to in paragraph C2.2.1. or Appendix 8.
Appendix 8 is the Adjudicative Guidelines for Determining Eligibility for Access to Classified Information. Issues identified as potentially disqualifying conditions under the 13 criteria in the Adjudicative Guidelines must be reported. Most of the situations listed at paragraph C2.2.1 duplicate those in the Adjudicative Guidelines, but a few are stated more broadly, such as:
 1. 7. Disregard of public law, Statutes, Executive Orders or Regulations including violation of security regulations or practices.
 2. 8. Criminal or dishonest conduct.
 3. 9. Acts of omission or commission that indicate poor judgment.
 4. 10. Excessive indebtedness, recurring financial difficulties, or unexplained affluence.
 5. 11. Habitual or episodic use of intoxicants to excess.
Some of these reporting requirements are almost void for vagueness. The problem is that paragraph C2.2.1 and the Adjudicative Guidelines were not written with the intent of providing guidance to cleared personnel who might encounter problems that could affect their continued eligibility for a clearance; they were written for security clearance adjudicators. Many of the criteria in the Adjudicative Guidelines are clear and require no interpretation, such as a drunk driving arrest, illegal use of drugs, security violation, acquiring foreign citizenship, inability to satisfy debts, and employment or service to a foreign government or company. Other criteria are vague and require a subjective interpretation. For example: 1) When does a foreign connection create a potential for conflict of interest or a heightened risk of foreign influence? 2) What constitutes "inappropriate behavior in the workplace? 3) Is attending an annual family reunion "association with persons involved in criminal activity" if a drug-using cousin is also present?
The questions at sections 19 through 29 of the SF86 provide examples of reportable events. But there are differences between the "issue" questions on the SF86 and the potentially disqualifying conditions in the Adjudicative Guidelines. For example: 1) All situations listed in the "Financial Records" section of the SF86 are events that must be self-reported, except for the question regarding credit counseling if a person has not become delinquent in paying debts. 2) Most mental health counseling that must be listed on an SF86, does not necessarily have to be self-reported.
Many agencies also require that the following events be reported:
 - Change in name or marital status.
 - Change in job assignment that eliminates the need for access to classified information.
 - Any situation related to actual, probable, or possible espionage, sabotage, or subversive activities directed against the United States.
 - Any known or suspected security violation or vulnerability.
SCI, SAP and Special Requirements
For individuals with access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) or other Special Access Programs (SAP) there is an additional requirement to report foreign travel. Some intelligence agencies require self-reporting of any contact with individuals from "designated" countries and visits to any foreign embassy or consulate.
Department of Energy (DOE) Manual 470.4-5, "Personnel Security," is more specific than DoD5200.2-R, but fails to cover many reportable situations, such as illegal drug involvement, security violations, misuse of IT systems, and inability or unwillingness to satisfy debts other than those resulting in bankruptcies and garnishments. Chapter 5 of M470.4-5 states:
 1. a. Legal, Employment, and Medical Information. Access authorization applicants and holders must provide direct notification to the cognizant DOE personnel security office of the following (NOTE: Verbal notification is required within 2 working days followed by written confirmation within the next 3 working days):
 1. (1) Any arrests, criminal charges (including charges that are dismissed), or detentions by Federal, State, or other law enforcement authorities for violations of law within or outside of the U.S. Traffic violations for which a fine of up to $250 was imposed need not be reported, unless the violation was alcohol or drug related;
 2. (2) personal or business-related filing for bankruptcy;
 3. (3) garnishment of wages;
 4. (4) legal action effected for a name change;
 5. (5) change in citizenship;
 6. (6) employment by, representation of, or other business-related association with a foreign or foreign-owned interest or foreign national; or
 7. (7) hospitalization for a mental illness; treatment for drug abuse; or treatment for alcohol abuse.
Paragraph 3 of Chapter 5 goes on to specify reporting requirements regarding spouses and cohabitants and unauthorized attempts to access classified information or Special Nuclear Material.
Failing to Report an Issue
Failure to self-report a security-related event is a security violation that compounds the original problem and increases the risk of having a clearance suspended and/or revoked. Under DOD 5200.2-R supervisors and coworkers "have an equal obligation to advise their supervisor or appropriate security official when they become aware of information with potentially serious security significance regarding someone with access to classified information employed in a sensitive position."
As a separate but related requirement, all DoD military, civilian, and contractor personnel, whether cleared or uncleared, also have a responsibility to report counterintelligence indicators detailed in an extensive list in DoD Directive 5240.06, "Counterintelligence Awareness and Reporting."
Only through proper indoctrination briefings and annual refresher briefings can people be made aware of their reporting responsibilities and the multitude of reportable events. Unfortunately the written material covering this subject fails to address many of the common events and situation that should be reported. The Defense Security Service (DSS) has handbooks for cleared personnel and their supervisors that briefly cover reportable events. These handbooks provide guidance, but they are not policy.
Within the federal government there is a hodge-podge of self-reporting requirements for cleared personnel. Some requirements are clear; others are ambiguous. Attempts have been made to supplement regulations with guidance documents, but guidance documents often do little to expand on or clarify self-reporting requirements. There should be one reasonably comprehensive list of reportable events for collateral clearance holders and another list for SCI and SAP, but the possibility of such lists being promulgated in the near future appears remote. DoD 5200.2-R has not been updated since February 1996 and is riddled with obsolete information. Director of Central Intelligence Directive (DCID) 6/4, which covered SCI eligibility, had a section on individual responsibilities and reporting requirements, but this regulation was superseded by Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 704 in October 2008 and ICD 704 contains no self-reporting requirements.

Actually, working in Dreamweaver is what gave me the inspiration to write the "Count Your Words" article because I wanted to do a word count while working on an HTML document, but couldn't. So, today I'll explain a bit about Dreamweaver's configuration mechanism, how commands work, and how to implement and incorporate your own word count function. Then you'll be able to count the number of words you've selected or those from the complete document.
To follow the examples, you'll need either Dreamweaver or Dreamweaver Ultradev version 3 or later. Since all configuration files are simple plain text, you can just use Dreamweaver to make the necessary changes. You can download a free 30-day trial version at Macromedia's Dreamweaver download page.

So, let's see what happens internally when you invoke a command by selecting it in the Commands menu?
When you select and open the Commands menu, Dreamweaver reads all the command files that are defined for this menu. The menu and its items are defined in a separate configuration file,
menu.xml, which is explained in greater detail in the next section.
To determine if a command is suitable for a document or its selection, the function
canAcceptComand() is called, and it returns either true or false. In case of the latter, the menu item is grayed out. If you want your command to be always selectable, just leave this function.
To receive arguments, the function
receiveArguments() is called. This function receives its arguments either from the attribute property of the selected menu item or from
dreamweaver.runCommand(), which is the calling function.
To create the buttons on the right of the dialogue, the function
commandButtons() is called in the next step. Here you can create a array of button text and action strings, which must be returned from this function. To make l10n easier, you can use one the symbolic variables defined in
Dreamweaver_Home/Configuration/Shared/MM/Scripts/CMN/localtext.js. You can leave this function if your own command doesn't depend on arguments.
In order to become displayed, the HTML document must contain a
form element. If it has one, the function
windowDimension() is called, which is expected to return a string containing a comma delimited width and height pair. If this function can't be found, the size of the dialogue is determined by the document's content.
In the last step, the functions defined in the document's body
onload event handler are called, just as in any other HTML document. Now the command is prepared and ready to work. After completing its task, it's closed by a simple
We created an example file for you containing the needed skeleton with all functions of the Commands-API.
Now, let's see how a command is integrated into one of Dreamweaver's menus.
DreamWeaver 4: The Missing Manual
Earlier versions of Dreamweaver stored its menu structure in a set of HTML documents. Beginning in version 3, the complete menu structure is stored in one XML file,
Dreamweaver_Home/Configuration/Menus/menu.xml. This file defines menubars and shortcut lists that are associated to the different Dreamweaver windows by their ID. For instance, the shortcut list and menubar of the main document window are identified by
So, open this file and search for a
menubar element with ID
DWMainWindow, this menubar holds all menus displayed in sequential order like
Edit, etc. in
menu elements. The name attribute of a menu element defines the name displayed. Adding an underscore in front of a letter causes this item be become selectable with the keyboard when selecting the menu via the "Alt" key.
Inside each menu you can find two different types of elements, either a
menuseparator element. Since menu.xml pretends to be an XML document (which it's not, as it lacks a document element), you have to take care to close those elements properly when you create new ones, i.e. use a slash before the closing bracket to create a well-formed element.
Creating a new entry for our command is a very straight-forward task. Use the Commands menu for this task. Search for the menu with ID
DWMenu_Commands. You're free to create a new
menuitem like the one below wherever you want inside the menu element:
key attribute creates a hotkey combination for the item. The
enabled attribute value to
false causes this menu item be become grayed out and unselectable. The
checked attribute can be used to add a checkmark in front of the item with an attribute value of
Make sure you create a well-formed document, and when you're finished, just save the file. In case you messed up
menu.xml, you can find a default version in the same menu,
menu.bak, which just needs to be saved over your edited file to restore the default behavior.
Dreamweaver_Home/Configuration/Commands/ folder as
In order to have Dreamweaver reload its configuration, you can restart the application. Much easier is the following trick.
Fortunately you don't have to restart Dreamweaver every time you change something in your configs. Simply open the objects palette (Ctrl-F2), and click the small triangle on the upper right while holding the Ctrl key (see Figure 1).
You'll find a new menu item at the bottom,
Reload Extensions. Selecting it causes Dreamweaver to read the configuration files again, and recreate all configurable items like objects, menus, commands, etc.
To work with the new command, just select it via the Commands menu, or use the hotkeys if they are available. To count all of the words, don't select any text and you'll get a count for the entire document. Otherwise, make a selection and call the command for a count of a specific area.

The Role of Parental Schooling vs. Cognitive Ability on Child Health
Luis Rubalcava, Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE)
Graciela M. Teruel, Universidad Iberoamericana
The literature on child health suggests that mothers play a central role in child rearing activities. While some efforts have been made to separate the differential mechanisms through which mother's education impacts child health outcomes, controversy still exists on how much estimated returns to schooling reflect pure knowledge and how much they reflect parental background and ability characteristics in processing new information when procuring their children health. This paper investigates the separate effect of parental schooling vs. cognitive ability on child health. We make use of the information of parental cognitive ability through application of tests that require no literacy. Our results show that mother's cognitive ability to process new information is an important factor in improving her children health as measured by child's weight-for-age and height-for-age. The returns of mother's cognitive ability on child health are robust to usual human capital controls, such as age, education and parental height.

The staff in Te Papa's taonga pūoro group are very lucky to have Richard Nunns as our mentor. Through his teaching and encouragement we continue to explore the kaupapa of taonga pūoro.
Richard is an incredibly busy man, travelling throughout New Zealand and often overseas, involved in many different projects. If he has a spare hour and he's in Wellington he comes to work with our group. Recently he came to talk to us about the pūtātara and show us how it's played.
The pūtātara is a trumpet made from a conch, or triton, shell. It's loud, signal call is heard more often these days, and is used to mark special occasions such as opening ceremonies.
Conch shell trumpets are common musical instruments throughout the Pacific, such as this one from the Marquesas, in Te Papa's collection. In Aotearoa New Zealand these shell trumpets have a wooden mouthpiece attached to the shell.
The large conch shell species (Charonia tritonis) is not found naturally in New Zealand. A smaller, native shell (Charonia lampas) was used. It's only in more recent times that large Pacific conches have been brought into New Zealand and used to make pūtātara.
Learning to play the pūtātara well takes a lot of practice. It's probably useful to have understanding neighbours! I found out that you need strong lips. After trying to sound a pūtātara for a while you get a strange buzzing feeling in your lips from all the vibrations. You also have to go away and work on your "embouchure" (a term trumpet and saxophone players will know) – which means how you form your mouth around the mouthpiece.
As you start off playing the pūtātara it helps to give the sound a good punch, then try to sustain the note, and fade off slowly. As you get better at it you can shape the sound and make it more melodic, by using your hand placed inside the mouth of the shell. Each pūtātara is different and has its own, individual voice.
Under Richard's guidance the sound of pūtātara will continue to increase and grow at Te Papa – and for that we are truly grateful.


How to Fix a GPU Overheating (Is your Temperature Safe?)
Fixing a overheating GPU
What is the average GPU temperature?
The average GPU temperate of a laptop is 167°F (75°C). At this temperature, you won't need to worry about your GPU overheating.
What is the normal GPU temperature for a laptop?
The normal GPU temperature for a laptop when it is in use is generally between 149°F (65°C) and 185°F (85°C). In the idle state, the optimal temperature is lower and ranges between 95°F and 131°F (35°-55°C).
When the GPU operates at a normal or a slightly colder temperature, you'll often be able to achieve consistent performance from your laptop.
A slightly colder temperature is always better for the GPU than an above-normal temperature.
If the temperature of your GPU is very high, the performance may not be consistent. You may be able to start fine but are likely to experience decreased performance over time. In some cases, system stability will also be at stake.
What is a safe GPU temperature for a laptop?
The safe GPU temperature for a laptop is between 176°F (80°C) and 194°F (90°C). When the temperature increases beyond this range, the performance will go down. It's recommended that the GPU temperature does not exceed 201° to 221°F (94°-105°C).
What is the normal GPU temperature under load?
The normal GPU temperature under load for a laptop is between 158°F and 167°F (7075°C). Some users prefer their GPU to have a lower temperature range of 122°F (50°C) to 140°F (60°C).
For a desktop, the normal temperature is usually lower than that of a laptop. Experienced users prefer this temperature to be between 140°F (60°C) and 167°F (75°C).
What is the normal GPU temperature when gaming?
The normal GPU temperature when playing medium-resolution games for four to five hours is between 140°F (60°C) and 149°F (65°C). For high-resolution games, the temperature will be slightly higher and can range from 149°- 158°F).
If you're in a cold country, it's ideal for your system to have a normal GPU temperature between 127.4°F (53°C) and 140°F (60°C) while gaming.
What causes the GPU to heat up?
The GPU tends to get hot because of heavy loads, airflow issues, GPU cooler failure, or a system cooling failure.
 - Heavy loads
 - Airflow issues
 - GPU cooler failure
 - System cooling failure
Heavy loads
The CPU is generally idle when the computer is used to carry out normal tasks such as sending e-mails, processing a Word document, or working on a spreadsheet calculation.
However, when one or more intensive tasks are carried out such as executing a financial model or using design software to create a 3D image, the load on the CPU increases considerably and it has to work more actively making it hotter. Overclocking the CPU also contributes to an increase in heat.
Airflow issues
Sometimes, dust accumulates on the case, ports, and inlets of the CPU. This will obstruct the smooth flow of air that keeps the CPU cool.
When the dust and dirt are blown out using compressed air, normal airflow resumes and the CPU will not get hot.
CPU cooler failure
The fan in the CPU cooling assembly may be faulty or could have become defective. If so, it will stop spinning. Having the fan replaced should help. Sometimes, there may be a loose contact in the CPU cooler that can be fixed by removing and reattaching it.
System cooling failure
If either the fan present in the power supply or the case fan stops functioning, the CPU cooler starts working overtime to stop the CPU from getting overheated.
However, this results in hot air circulation that can cause some components in the CPU to get fried. Getting the defective fan and affected components replaced should help.
How to reduce GPU temperature of a laptop
You can reduce the GPU temperature of the laptop by opting for a raised surface, using a cooling pad, using a better thermal paste, or by removing the accumulated dust inside. Some other ways include replacing a faulty fan, downgrading the GPU clock, or a GPU driver rollback.
 1. Keep your laptop slightly lifted off the table. You can keep a book or just about anything under the laptop. However, you must take care not to block the inlets while you do this.
 2. Consider using a cooling pad. It is worth considering a pad with large fans as they have more airflow and are quieter.
 3. Replace the thermal paste on the GPU. The rise in GPU temperature may be due to drying out of this paste on your graphics card. You'll need a lint-free cotton swab or cloth or microfiber, replacement thermal compound, screwdriver, and isopropyl alcohol to do the replacement. This process takes only about five minutes to get done.
 4. Remove the screws from the GPU using the screwdriver. Apply some isopropyl alcohol on the microfiber cloth and clean both the GPU base and fan. Apply some thermal paste and close the cover of the GPU. Tighten the screws back in a criss-cross pattern and install the GPU back in place.
 5. Remove the dust accumulated on the GPU. This may be one reason why the temperature is high. You can do this using a screwdriver, baby wipes, and compressed air can.
 6. Remove any dust on the outside of the GPU and unscrew it from its position. Twist the cooler gently and take it apart. Don't pull the graphics card and fan apart.
 7. Disconnect the fan, turn it downward and remove the dust using compressed air. Clean the fan and graphics card using the screw and baby wipes. Assemble the card after everything has dried up.
 8. Plug the fan back and install it in position. Screw everything back in place.
 9. The graphics card may have a defective or malfunctioning fan that spins very slowly or doesn't spin at all. A replacement is the only solution.
 10. You can consider lowering or downgrading the GPU clock by using the overclocking tools of your graphics card. This is a temporary solution to lower the GPU temperature until you figure out the actual reason and resolve it. Once you have fixed the problem, you can reset the GPU clock to its original setting.
 11. Check whether the video driver of the graphics card has been updated. In some cases, an update tends to raise the graphics card temperature to a high level. If so, do a rollback to the previous stable version. It's to be noted that there might be instances where you may have to delete the graphics card driver or update it.
Why is my GPU overheating all of a sudden?
Your GPU may be heating all of a sudden because of dust in the heatsink, bad contact between heatsink and GPU, a graphic driver update, or a GPU fan problem.
Alternatively, the position of the Wi-Fi card or a GPU bitcoin mining malware can trigger the problem.
 - Dust in heatsink
 - Bad contact between heatsink and GPU
 - Graphic driver update
 - GPU fan problem
Dust in the heatsink
One way to find this out is to put your hand behind the heatsink and check for hot air coming out of the holes near the ports at the rear. If there is no air at all, the heatsink may be blocked.
Blowing a can of compressed air over the heatsink can help cool down the temperature of the GPU.
Bad contact between heatsink and GPU
You may consider reseating the heatsink. The thermal paste between the graphics chip and heatsink could have come off or dried up. Remember to remove traces of the old paste before doing a reapplication.
Graphic driver update
The graphics driver may have automatically got updated to a newer version. Sometimes, it happens that a version update heats the GPU for no reason at all. This is especially true in Windows systems. A rollback to the previous version will often solve the problem in such cases.
GPU fan problem
You can use a utility tool like MSI Afterburner and adjust the speed of the GPU fans. Alternatively, you may consider increasing the number of fans. If the fan doesn't spin at all, it may be faulty and will need a replacement. Use this chance to clean the dust from the fans.
Laptop GPU temperature is too high
Your laptop GPU temperature is often too high due to dust accumulation on the heatsink, a dried-up thermal compound, or incorrect fan settings.
 - Dust accumulation on the heatsink.
 - Dried up thermal compound.
 - Improper fan settings.
 1. Use compressed air to blow out the dust and dirt on the heatsink. This will remove the dirt blocking the air vents as well. You can also use this chance to check if the heatsink is seated properly on the chips.
 2. Dismantle the laptop and do a thermal paste replacement. Make sure that you remove any remains of the old paste before adding the new one.
 3. Adjust the fan speed settings using third-party tools like MSI Afterburner. If a fan doesn't spin at all, you must do a replacement as it's likely to be defective. This tool also helps in setting a power limit for the graphics card at a lower temperature.
 4. Get a gel pack fitted inside the laptop cooler. This will ensure that the GPU temperature does not get very high.
 5. Link the CPU and VGA cooling through the same cooling fan

text: Several times we have used this English word "Kid" to refer to our own children. We keep repeating this word even while knowing a kid actually refers to a young goat. Why then do humans take pleasure in calling their young children kids and not babies or any other befitting name? The story goes that because a he-goat has a goatee it wears about as it matures, its young was named a kid. In the same manner because humans also interestingly sometimes grow goatees, they look so much as he goat with a goatee that it became necessary for children sired by men with goatees to be called kids. Today, even men without goatees have no problems calling their own children Kids.

This free online divisible calculator will help you to calculate whether a given number is divisible by another number. Use this calculator to perform the division process and let you know whether the numerator is divisible by the denominator completely or not with the assistance of this divisibility calculator.
What is a divisible number?
In mathematics, the divisible number is defined as:
"A number is said to be divisible by another number if it can be divided by that number"
Division rules or methods generally help to check whether a given number is divisible by another number without using the actual division method. Let's find how!
 - If a number is completely divisible by another number and the quotient will become a whole number and the remainder will become a zero.
 - But on the other hand, every number is not completely divisible by every other number and such a number leaves a remainder other than zero.
Go through the below article to know division rules from 1 to 13 in Maths that are explained with many solved examples. These are:
Divisibility Rule of 1:
"Every number is divisible by 1 since this rule doesn't have any condition"
For example:
5 is divisible by 1 and 5000 is also divisible by 1 thoroughly.
Divisibility Rule of 2:
"If a number is entirely even or a number whose last digit includes an even number such as 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 866, 678, then It is divisible by 2 completely"
For example:
708 has an even number therefore it is divisible by 2 but 709 is not an even number and is not divisible by 2.
Divisibility Rules for 3:
"According to this rule, a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits equal to the multiple of 3"
For example:
Consider a number, 308. To check whether the given number is divisible by 3 or not, firstly take the sum of the digits (i.e. 3+0+8= 11). If the sum of the given number is a multiple of 3, then we can say the original number is divisible by 3. Here, 11 is not a multiple of 3 therefore 308 is also not divisible by 3.
Likewise, 555 is always divisible by 3 completely as the sum of its digits i.e. 5+5+5=15 which is a multiple of 3.
However, you can verify the above example by using our online divisible calculator.
Divisibility Rule of 4:
"If the last two digits of a given number are multiple of 4 then we can say that it is divisible by 4 completely"
For example:
Take the number 2308. Since the last two digits of a given i.e. 08 is a multiple of 4. Hence, the original number 2308 is divisible by 4.
Divisibility Rule of 5:
"Those numbers in which the last digits have 0 or 5 are divisible by 5 completely"
For example:
10, 10000, _PHONE_, 595, 396524850, and more are always divisible by 5 completely since the last digits have 0 or 5.
Divisibility Rule of 6:
"The multiple of 2 and 3 are always divisible by 6. If the last digit of the number is even and the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3, then the given number is also divisible by 6"
For example:
Consider a number 630, the given number is divisible by 2 as the last digit is 0.
And, the sum of digits of a given number is 6+3+0 = 9, which is also divisible by 3.
Thus, 630 is divisible by 6.
Divisibility Rules for 7:
The divisibility rule for 7 is a bit complicated. Follow the steps to understand this rule and is given as:
 - Remove the last digit of the given number and double it
 - Then, subtract from the given remaining number
 - If the number is zero or recognizable by 2 digits multiple of 7, then it will the divisible of 7.
 - Otherwise, it will not divisibility by 7 and you need to start the process again
Besides, our online divisibility rules calculator will help you to clarify the above example once you enter the parameters.
For example:
Is 1073 divisible by 7?
According to the rule, first remove 3 from the number and double this number, it becomes 6.
Then, the remaining becomes 107, so 107-6 = 101.
Repeating the process again one or more times, you have 1 x 2 = 2.
The given remaining number 10 – 2 = 8.
As 8 is not divisible by 7, therefore the number 1073 is not divisible by 7.
Divisibility Rule of 8:
"If the last three digits of a number are multiple of 8, then the given number is divisible by 8"
For example:
Consider the number 24344. Since the last three digits are. 344. The given number is divisible by 8, therefore the original number 24344 is divisible by 8.
Divisibility Rule of 9:
"If the sum of the digits of a given number is multiple of 9, then the number itself is called divisible by 9"
For example:
Take the number 78532, as the sum of its digits (7+8+5+3+2=25), which is not divisible by 9, so 78532 is not divisible by 9.
Divisibility Rule of 10:
"According to this rule, any number whose last digit has 0, is always divisible by 10".
For example:
10, 20, 30, 1000, 5000, 60000, etc are divisible by 10
Divisibility Rules for 11:
"Whether the difference of the sum of substitute digits of a given number and that number is divisible by 11 thoroughly"
For example:
In order to review whether a number like 2143 is divisible by 11 or not, below is the procedure. These are:
 - First of all, make the group with alternative digits i.e. odd digits placed together and even digits placed together. Here 24 and 13 are two different groups.
 - Once you make the alternative group, then take the sum of the digits of each group i.e. 2+4=6 and 1+3= 4
 - After that, find the difference of the sums 6-4=2
 If the difference becomes equal to divisible by 11, then the given original number is also divisible by 11. Here 2 is the difference and it is not divisible by 11.
Divisibility Rule of 12:
"If the given number is divisible by both 3 and 4, then the original number is divisible by 12 completely"
For example:
Consider the number 5864
Sum of the digits = 5 + 8 + 6 + 4 = 23 since the given value is not a multiple of 3
On the other hand, the last two digits = 64 which is divisible by 4
The number 5846 is divisible by 4 but not by 3; therefore, it is not divisible by 12.
Divisibility Rules for 13:
"Whether you want to check if the given number is divisible by 13, you have to add four times the last digit of the number to the remaining number, and the process repeats until you get a two-digit number"
For example:
2795 → 279 + (5 x 4)
= 279 + (20)
= 299
= 29 + (9 x 4)
= 29 + 36
=65
Number 65 is divisible by 13, 13 x 5 = 65.
Since we described all the divisible rules above and these are followed by our divisibility calculator to perform calculations accurately.

Class EigenvalueDecomposition
 - public class EigenvalueDecompositionextends Object
 Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real matrix.
 If A is symmetric, then A = V*D*V' where the eigenvalue matrix D is diagonal and the eigenvector matrix V is orthogonal. I.e. A = V.times(D.times(V.transpose())) and V.times(V.transpose()) equals the identity matrix.
 If A is not symmetric, then the eigenvalue matrix D is block diagonal with the real eigenvalues in 1-by-1 blocks and any complex eigenvalues, lambda + i*mu, in 2-by-2 blocks, [lambda, mu; -mu, lambda]. The columns of V represent the eigenvectors in the sense that A*V = V*D, i.e. A.times(V) equals V.times(D). The matrix V may be badly conditioned, or even singular, so the validity of the equation A = V*D*inverse(V) depends upon V.cond().

Vibraimage and Artificial Intelligence as Independent Branches of Cybernetics
The general principles and differences of vibraimage technology (VI) and artificial intelligence (AI) are analyzed. Shown that VI technology has significant differences from AI, and these technologies should be considered as independent areas of cybernetics. The non-use of AI in VI technology in the detection of behavior and recognition of emotions is substantiated by the absence of standard approaches to behavior and emotions now. Described the joint use of VI and AI for medical diagnostics. It is proposed to replace the thesis on the limitations of the use of AI for human research with general requirements for verifying the accuracy of psychophysiology technology, taking into account the probability of errors, sensitivity and specificity. Considered appropriate to limit the impact of ethical restrictions on the processing of biological and physical signals

Malchus beis dovid
project #3
 gold or silver paper
1) Color Dovid Hamelech and Shlomo Hamelech.
2) Trace and cut out the four crowns, using the gold/silver paper.
3) Stick a crown on top of Dovid Hamelech and and on top Shlomo Hamelech.
4) Stick the remaining two crowns on the paper.
5) Draw the remaining two kings.
Hashem promised Dovid Hamelech that all the future Yiddishe kings will come from his children. Dovid Hamelech had many children, but Hashem told him that all the kings will come from Shlomo Hamelech. (Why was Shlomo so special? Because he built the Beis Hamikdosh.) For hundreds and hundreds of years the Yidden had kings who came from Beis Dovid. This continued until the Yidden were sent into Golus. They weren't allowed to have their own king to rule over them in Golus. The Yidden were very upset about this.

What are they for and what can I do with them?
I looked at the MIDI Mapping for the Reloop Terminal Mix 4 and it seems like they just light up an LED when a Button is pressed.
Thanks a lot!

With MIDI mapping you have the ability to assign more than one command to a button or knob.
Most MIDI commands in Cross have of course the command in the input section and an output in the output section to light up and LED. However, there are some command that do not have and output section but you may still want to light up and indicator in your controller to let you know that something is active or to light up when a specific value is activated in Shift logic selector.
Let us assume (not true) that the Play/Pause command did not have an output to light up the Play button in your controller but you still want an indication when play is active.
In that case you would map the Play/Pause button to the correct address and channel and would also map a Registerlogic command to that button.
Know you can map an output to the registerlogic command that would light up the LED.
Another example.
Shift logic commands have output capability, when you use ModShiftLogic you can assign for a specicic LED to come on when the selected ModShiftLogic is active.
That is not the case with the Shift Logic selector,. It has no output.
So you can't tell when a specific value for shift logic is active.
So know let us assume that you have two buttons assigned to activate the Shift selector to value 1 and the other button to Shift selector value 2.
After mapping they are functional but give no indication of which one is active.
So to get and indication you would map Register logic 1 along with Shift Selector value 1 and Register logic 2 along with Shift Selector value 2.
Know map the output of Register logic one and 2 to the desired LED.
End results is that you mapped Shift Selector commands (that have no indicator output) to perform the function. And Register Logic command (which have output) to give you the desired indication when a specific Shift selector value is active.
Hope that helps

Names ending in e, yo, mi, usually written 美 and ko, written 子, are usually female. For example, a combination of tomo and these endings, as in Tomoe, Tomoyo, Tomomi or Tomoko, produces a typical Japanese female name. Other typical female endings include na, such as Haruna, and ka, such as Haruka. Female names are more likely to be written in hiragana than male names.
Many modern female names end in -ko, which means "child." For example
Aiko, Akiko, Asako, Atsuko, Ayako, Chikako, Emiko, Eriko, Etsuko, Fujiko, Fumiko, Haruko, Ikuko, Junko, Katsuko, Kazuko, Keiko, Kimiko, Kumiko, Kyoko, Machiko, Maiko, Makiko, Mamiko, Mariko, Masako, Mayako, Mayuko, Mayoko, Michiko, Mihoko, Minako, Misako, Mitsuko, Miyoko, Momoko, Mutsuko, Nahoko, Namiko, Nanako, Naoko, Natsuko, Nayoko, Noriko, Reiko, Rieko, Rikako, Rinako, Risako, Ritsuko, Rumiko, Ryoko, Sachiko, Saeko, Sakiko, Sakuko, Sakurako, Sanako, Satoko, Sayoko, Shoko, Seiko, Tadako, Takako, Tamiko, Tokiko, Tomiko, Tomiko, Yoko, Yoshiko, Yukako, Yukiko, Yumako, Yumiko, Yuriko, Yutsuko
Some female names end in -mi, which usually means "beauty." For example,
Ami, Asami, Emi, Harumi, Honami, Kazumi, Kumi, Manami, Mami, Masami, Masumi, Mayumi, Mutsumi, Nami, Nanami, Naomi, Narumi, Natsumi, Nomi, Remi, Romi, Satomi, Yumi
Here are some other names and what the name (usually) means.
Ai (love), Akane, Aki, Arisa, Ayame (sweet flag flower), Chiaki, Chika, Chisato, Ema, Eri, Fumi, Fumie, Fumiyo, Hatsue, Hatsuyo, Hitomi (eye), Ikue, Isako, Izumi (fountain), Jun (pure), Katsue, Kazue, Machi, Madoka, Mai (dance), Maki, Mari, Maya, Mayu, Mayo, Megumi (charity), Miho, Mina, Mio, Misa, Misato, Miya, Mizuki, Naho, Namie, Namiyo, Nana, Nao, Narumi, Natsumi, Nozomi (hope), Rie, Rina, Risa, Rui, Sachi, Sae, Saki, Sakura (cherry), Saya, Sayuri, Sayo, Shinobu (perseverance), Shiori, Tamiyo, Tokie, Tokiyo, Yayoi (March), Yu, Yui, Yuka, Yukari, Yuki, Yuma, Yuri (lily), Wazuka
Personal names are often chosen so that the stroke count of the kanji in the child's name will be a fortuitous number.
Names for foreigners are usually written in katakana as are other foreign words. See 5.1. How do I write an English word in Japanese? for the rules of transcription. Chinese and Korean people, who have names based on kanji, may also be referred to by their kanji names, often with a Japanese pronunciation.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, June 28, 2023/ — The African Energy Chamber (AEC) (_URL_) – the voice of the African energy sector – is proud to announce that H.E. Yonis Ali Guedi, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Djibouti, will participate at the African Energy Week (AEW) 2023 conference and exhibition – Africa's premier event for the energy sector which takes from 16 – 20 October in Cape Town.
Under the theme 'The African Energy Renaissance: Prioritizing Energy Poverty, People, the Planet, Industrialization and Free Markets', AEW 2023 provides a platform where H.E. Yonis Ali Guedi can engage with other African energy and petroleum ministers as well as private and public sector executives from across the regional and global landscape, laying the foundation for new partnerships and investment agreements to be signed.
Representing a crucial gateway to international markets for many landlocked East and Central African countries – owing to the country's location and close proximity to the Red Sea and Suez Canal -, the presence of H.E. Minister Guedi at AEW 2023 – the premier platform for the African energy sector – will be critical for showcasing opportunities available for energy and services companies within Djibouti's energy, infrastructure and logistics spectrums.
While Djibouti has no native sources of oil, natural gas, hydropower or coal as of yet, the country has made significant progress in improving energy resilience and access for its citizens though regional integration and cooperation with neighboring countries such as Ethiopia. As a result, Djibouti boasts an energy access rate of over 61%, with a target to achieve universal access by 2035. With Djibouti seeking to unlock its renewable energy potential to maximize domestic energy generation, AEW represents the best platform for the minister to meet, network and sign industry changing deals with global investors.
On the hydrocarbons front, the move by Djibouti to position itself as a regional trade and logistics hub – with various Memoranda of Understandings having been signed by H.E. Minister Guedi with South Sudan and Ethiopia – presents massive opportunities for regional energy security, resource monetization and for oil, gas and services companies seeking high returns on investments. While deals such as with Ethiopia for the development of a new fuel storage terminal inside the Djibouti Damerjog Industrial Development zone and the large-scale Ethiopia–Djibouti Gas Pipeline – set to distribute gas from the Calub and Hilala fields (_URL_ in Ethiopia – represents an important step towards improving regional energy security, AEW 2023 represents the ideal platform for such projects to secure funding and materialize.
"The Chamber is proud to be hosting H.E. Yonis Ali Guedi at AEW 2023. We commend the minister for his commitment to enhancing regional cooperation between Djibouti and its neighbors and driving energy sector stability and growth. At AEW 2023, discussions and deal-signings will be centered around the investment opportunities present within Djibouti for infrastructure and logistics companies within the oil, gas and renewables spaces," stated NJ Ayuk, the Executive Chairman of the AEC.
At AEW 2023, H.E. Minister Guedi will participate in high-level panel discussions, ministerial forums and exclusive networking sessions where the minister will showcase investment opportunities within the East African country.
AEW is the AEC's annual energy event that unites African and global energy companies and governments for four days of networking and dialogue. The event represents the biggest gathering of energy stakeholders on the continent. For more information about sponsorship, attendance and partnership, visit _URL_

We investigated the effect of substrate misfit strain theoretically by using a phase-field microelasticity model in a simple sandwich structure of a magnetic tunnel junction with perpendicular anisotropy. The critical current for magnetization flipping decreases with increasing tensile strain except in the region above a threshold strain, which results from magneto-elastic coupling interaction between perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and substrate strain. Magnetization reversal speeds with different substrate strains and switching currents are also presented, which suggest ways to improve the magnetization switching efficiency and decrease the power consumption of magnetic devices.

Big financial impact of late pregnancy feeding in sheep
Getting nutrition right in the last six weeks of pregnancy will have a huge impact on a flock's financial performance.
This is according to NWF technical co-ordinator, Carolyne Barringer, who says: "About 70 per cent of lamb growth takes place in the last six weeks, and late pregnancy feeding will influence both ewe and lamb survival.
"Energy requirement increases significantly while appetite is reduced by around 30 per cent. Underfeeding can result is thin ewes; small, weak lambs and poor milk yields, while over-feeding increases the risk of dystocia."
Miss Barringer advises condition scoring all ewes as soon as possible and grouping animals based on condition score and the number of lambs being carried. This allows a step feeding approach, closely matching the energy and protein supply to the needs of the ewe and the lambs.
"Condition scoring is a quick and easy way to assess ewes and treat them as individuals. This year we have seen some ewes coming in over-fit, while others are in very poor condition, usually a consequence of variable grass supply in the late autumn.
"Ewes that are either over fat or in poor condition and carrying multiple lambs are most at risk of pregnancy toxaemia, due to inadequate levels of available energy.
Miss Barringer says a 50kg ewe carrying a single lamb will require 7.5MJ/day, six weeks before lambing, rising to 11.3MJ/day in the week before lambing.
A 70kg ewe carrying twins requires 11.8MJ/day at six weeks out, increasing to 19.2MJ/day in the week before she lambs.
"Unless ewes are grouped accordingly, there is no way of ensuring they get the energy they require, resulting in a mixture of overand under-feeding, but the consequence will be the same with poorer flock performance.
"The feeding regime prior to lambing will also influence udder development and the quality of colostrum. Thin, pale colostrum is indicative of poor feeding, while thick, yellow colostrum is suggestive of a well-fed ewe."
"Grouping ewes and increasing the feed level weekly is the best way to improve performance and keep feed costs under control.
"Remember to increase the energy density to compensate for reduced appetite. For a small single-bearing ewe, look to feed 0.2kg of concentrate six weeks pre-lambing, rising to 0.5kg/day, while for a larger twin-bearing ewe, expect to feed 0.2kg/day, building to 1kg/day in the week pre-lambing."
She also stresses the importance of feeding good quality protein. Ewes carrying twins, in particular, require additional rumen bypass protein to support the demands of the lambs from four weeks pre-lambing.
The consequence of failing to feed sufficient, high quality protein is poor foetal development, reduced udder development and lower milk yields.
"A ewe carrying twins requires around 34 per cent more protein than a single bearing ewe.
"Grouping ewes is the only way to target the correct level of protein. Look to include ingredients high in bypass protein to match the ewes' requirements.
"The extra attention possible from grouping ewes will be more than repaid in terms of healthier lambs, reduced lambing problems and better milk yields."

Porphyrin Deposits in Gerbils
Porphyrin is a pigment, a component of blood cells that functions to bind metal in the blood cells such as iron and magnesium). It is also recognized for being the major component in the the coloring of blood, as porphyrin is a deep purple pigment. In gerbils, in times of stress, the unbound porphyrin can leave deposits in the tear ducts, causing red colored stains around the eyes and nose as the tinted tear fluid leaves the eyes. These stains are often mistaken for blood, and must be differentiated.
Porphyrin deposits cause skin irritation and the gerbil may scratch incessantly to relieve the itching. The causes for porphyrin deposits are related to stress and nutrition, which can generally be easily remedied, but complications can arise due to secondary bacterial infections that result from scratching at the skin until it is bleeding, leaving open sores.
Symptoms and Types
- Reddish-brown deposits of porphyrin around the eyes and nostrils (may be mistaken for blood)
- Skin irritation
- Constant scratching of the face
- Hair loss on the affected area
- Red and inflamed skin around the face
- Scabs/sores on the face
- Bleeding from sores due to severe scratching
- Secondary infections of the sores
- Environment stress – not comfortable due to location; sudden move in location; temperature (too high or low) or light related
- Humidity higher than 50 percent in the living area
- Nutritional deficiency
- Underlying illness
- Inability to get along with cage mates – due to either incompatibility or aggression
- Overcrowding – cage is not large enough, or there are too many gerbils in the same living space
Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam on your gerbil, taking into account the background history of symptoms and possible underlying or environmental conditions that might have led to this condition. You will need to provide a thorough history of your gerbil's health leading up to the onset of symptoms. If secondary skin infection is present due to scratching induced sores, your veterinarian will need to take fluid and tissue samples for bacterial cultures in order to identify the specific bacteria for treatment.

Build an app with admin restricted scopes using the v2.0 endpoint
Sidst opdateret: 18-11-2016
Bidragydere:
Rediger på GitHub
Certain actions in the Microsoft ecosystem are considered highly sensitive, such as deleting a user from a company's tenant, changing a user's password, or reading a list of groups in a company. Yet there are many valid reasons why applications need to perform these actions for their customers. For this reason, some permissions are considered admin restricted, and require a tenant administrator to approve their use in applications. This sample application shows how to use the Azure AD v2.0 endpoint to access data in the Microsoft Graph that requires administrative consent.
The app is built as an ASP.NET 4.5 MVC application, using the OWIN OpenID Connect middleware to sign-in users and the preview Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) to perform token acquisition. It uses an incremental consent pattern, in which it first requests a basic permission that an ordinary user can consent to; the ability to read a list of users in the user's organization. Then, when the user tries to read a list of groups in the user's organization, it asks the administrator for the necessary admin restricted permission. In this way, any Microsoft business user can sign up for the application without contacting their tenant administrator, and the tenant administrator is only involved when absolutely necessary.
For more information on the concepts used in this sample, be sure to read the v2.0 scope and permission reference.
Looking for previous versions of this code sample? Check out the tags on the releases GitHub page.
Running the sample app
Follow the steps below to run the application and create your own multi-tenant web app. We recommend using Visual Studio 2015 to do so.
Register an app
Create a new app at apps.dev.microsoft.com, or follow these detailed steps. Make sure to:
 - Copy down the Application Id assigned to your app, you'll need it soon.
 - Add the Web platform for your app.
 - Enter two Redirect URIs. The base URL for this sample, https://localhost:44321/, as well as https://localhost:44321/Account/AADTenantConnected. These are the locations which the v2.0 endpoint will be allowed to return to after authentication.
 - Generate an Application Secret of the type password, and copy it for later. Note that in production apps you should always use certificates as your application secrets, but for this sample we will use a simple shared secret password.
If you have an existing application that you have registered in the past, feel free to use that instead of creating a new registration.
Configure your app for admin consent
In order to request admin restricted permissions, you'll need to declare the permissions your app will use ahead of time. While still in the registration portal,
 - Locate the Microsoft Graph Permissions section on your app registration.
 - Under Delegated Permissions, add the following permissions: Group.Read.All, User.ReadBasic.All, openid, email, profile, and offline_access.
 - Be sure to Save your app registration.
If you have issues saving the openid, email, profile, or offline_access scopes, you can continue with the rest of the sample. This is a known issue that will be fixed shortly.
Download & configure the sample code
You can download this repo as a .zip file using the button above, or run the following command:
_URL_
Once you've downloaded the sample, open it using Visual Studio. Open the Utils\Globals.cs file, and replace the following values:
 - Replace the clientId value with the application ID you copied above.
 - Replace the clientSecret value with the application secret you copied above.
Run the sample
Start the GroupManager application, and begin by signing in as an administrator in your Azure AD tenant. If you don't have an Azure AD tenant for testing, you can follow these instructions to get one.
When you sign in, the app will first ask you for permission to sign you in, read your user profile, and read a list of users in your tenant. Any user in your tenant will be able to consent to these permissions. The application will then show a list of users from your Azure AD tenant via the Microsoft Graph, on the Users page.
Then, navigate to the Groups page. The app will try to query the Microsoft Graph for a list of users in your tenant. If it is unable to do so, it will ask you (the tenant administrator) to connect your tenant to the application, providing permission to read groups in your tenant. Only administrators in your tenant will be able to consent to this permission. Once administrative consent is acquired, no other users in the tenant will be asked to consent to the app going forward.
The relevant code for this sample is in the following files:
 - Initial sign-in & basic permissions: App_Start\Startup.Auth.cs, Controllers\AccountController.cs
 - Getting the list of users: Controllers\UsersController.cs
 - Getting the list of groups: Controllers\GroupsController.cs
 - Acquiring permissions from the tenant admin using the admin consent endpoint: Controllers\AccountController.cs

At Running Strong for American Indian Youth®, for decades we have been providing running water to thousands of households on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, first by the truckload, then by digging deep water wells and now by connecting homes to the main water service line which runs through the reservation.
In some cases, families have been relying on getting their water from nearby streams and springs.
Recently, a household comprised of two elders, ages 80 and 65, living in a mobile home in the Cuny Table area who had been relying on a spring for all their daily needs, had their water tested which determined that it contained unsafe levels of arsenic in it.
Not having the thousands of dollars it would cost to tap into the Oglala Sioux Rural Water Supply System water line which runs near their property, they were unsure of what to do, or even where to turn for help.
But, learning of Running Strong's Mni Wiconi (Water is Life) water line connection program through word-of-mouth, they contacted our water coordinator, Ken Lone Elk at our field office on the reservation, Tipi Waste Un Zanipi (Wellness Through A Good Home), for assistance.
And it wasn't long after that they received the help they needed.
Within a matter of days, our Lakota-owned contractor, Badlands Enterprises, showed up at their home with a backhoe and trencher to install 80 feet of water line, an outdoor hydrant, and what is known as a freezerless riser to ensure year-round use even during the coldest days of winter, at a cost of just over $5,000.
In addition, our contractor ran a water line into their home, which has indoor plumbing, and they have requested to have a septic system installed on their property so eventually they will be able to use their indoor fixtures to use their kitchen sink, take showers and flush toilets.
Thanks to the supporters of Running Strong for American Indian Youth®, this year our goal is to connect 80 families to the water line so they will no longer have to fetch water from nearby neighbors' homes, drive miles to a community water source, or, as in the case of these two elders, risk their health by drinking water contaminated with impurities, such as arsenic.
