A new approach to distance measurements between two spin labels in the >10 nm range
ESR spectroscopy can be efficiently used to acquire the distance between two spin labels placed on a macromolecule by measuring their mutual dipolar interaction frequency, as long as the distance is not greater than ∼10 nm. Any hope to significantly increase this figure is hampered by the fact that all available spin labels have a phase memory time (Tm), restricted to the microseconds range, which provides a limited window during which the dipolar interaction frequency can be measured. Thus, due to the inverse cubic dependence of the dipolar frequency over the labels' separation distance, evaluating much larger distances, e.g. 20 nm, would require to have a Tm that is ∼200 microsecond, clearly beyond any hope. Here we propose a new approach to greatly enhancing the maximum measured distance available by relying on another type of dipole interaction-mediated mechanism called spin diffusion. This mechanism operates and can be evaluated during the spin lattice relaxation time, T1 (commonly in the milliseconds range), rather than only during Tm. Up until recently, the observation of spin diffusion in solid electron spin systems was considered experimentally impractical. However, recent developments have enabled its direct measurement by means of high sensitivity pulsed ESR that employs intense short magnetic field gradients, thus opening the door to the subsequent utilization of these capabilities. The manuscript presents the subject of spin diffusion, the ways it can be directly measured, and a theoretical discussion on how intramolecular spin-pair distance, even in the range of 20–30 nm, could be accurately extracted from spin diffusion measurements.

In this paper, a high performance lossless color image compression and decompression architecture to reduce both memory requirement and bandwidth is proposed. The proposed architecture consists of differential-differential pulse coded modulation (DDPCM) and Golomb-Rice coding. The original image frame is organized as m by &n sub-window arrays, to which DDPCM is applied to produce one seed and m× n-1 pieces of differential data. Then the differential data are encoded using the Golomb-Rice algorithm to produce losslessly compressed data. According to the experimental results on benchmark images, the proposed architecture can guarantee high enough compression rate and throughput to perform real-time lossless CODEC operations with a reasonable hardware area.

Many types of Asian pipes are mistaken for opium pipes, but there is only true opium pipe: one that was designed to vaporize the drug, not burn it. This was achieved by the means of a highly specialized pipe-bowl. The bowl, which actually looks nothing like a traditional bowl but rather like a door knob, was attached to a long stem by means of a metal fitting, referred to in English as a "saddle". The length of an opium pipe varied from approximately 15 inches (40cm) to about 22 inches (56cm). The most common material from which pipe stems were made was bamboo, but Chinese artisans experimented with myriad substitutes, including ivory, jade, horn, porcelain, as well as enamels such as cloisonne. The result was often a striking work of art.

An evaluation of the impact of vitamin E deficiency on expression of the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (Î±-TTP) and related CRAL_TRIO genes was undertaken using livers from adult zebrafish based on the hypothesis that increased lipid peroxidation would modulate gene expression. Zebrafish were fed either a vitamin E sufficient (E+) or deficient (E-) diet for 9 months, then fish were euthanized, and livers were harvested. Livers from the E+ relative to E-fish contained 40-times more Î±-tocopherol (P <0.0001) and one fourth the malondialdehyde (P=0.0153). RNA was extracted from E+ and E-livers, then subject to evaluation of gene expression of ttpa and other genes of the CRAL_TRIO family, genes of antioxidant markers, and genes related to lipid metabolism. Ttpa expression was not altered by vitamin E status. However, one member of the CRAL_TRIO family, tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 9 gene (ptpn9a), showed a 2.4-fold increase (P...

G also operates on Y by restricting the action to Y. The subset Y is called fixed under G if g.y = y for all g in G and all y in Y. Every subset that is fixed under G is also invariant under G, but not vice versa.
Fixed points and stabilizer subgroups[edit]
Given g in G and x in X with g.x = x, we say x is a fixed point of g and g fixes x.
For every x in X, we define the stabilizer subgroup of x (also called the isotropy group) as the set of all elements in G that fix x:
G_x = \{g \in G \mid g.x = x\}.
This is a subgroup of G, though typically not a normal one. The action of G on X is free if and only if all stabilizers are trivial. The kernel N of the homomorphism G → Sym(X) is given by the intersection of the stabilizers Gx for all x in X. If N is trivial, the action is said to be faithful (or effective).
Let x and y be two elements in X, and let g be a group element such that y = g.x. Then the two stabilizer groups Gx and Gy are related by Gy = g Gx g−1. Proof: by definition, hGy if and only if h.(g.x) = g.x. Applying g−1 to both sides of this equality yields (g−1hg).x = (g−1g).x = x; that is, g−1hgGx.
The above says that the stabilizers of elements in the same orbit are conjugate to each other. Thus, to each orbit, one can associate a conjugacy class of a subgroup of G (i.e., the set of all conjugates of the subgroup). Let (H) denote the conjugacy class of H. Then one says that the orbit O has type (H) if the stabilizer G_x of some/any x in O belongs to (H).
Orbit-stabilizer theorem and Burnside's lemma[edit]
Orbits and stabilizers are closely related. For a fixed x in X, consider the map from G to X given by gg.x for all gG. The image of this map is the orbit of x and the coimage is the set of all left cosets of Gx. The standard quotient theorem of set theory then gives a natural bijection between G/Gx and G.x. Specifically, the bijection is given by hGxh.x. This result is known as the orbit-stabilizer theorem. From a more categorical perspective, the orbit-stabilizer theorem comes from the fact that every G-set is a sum of quotients of the G-set G.
If G and X are finite then the orbit-stabilizer theorem, together with Lagrange's theorem, gives
|G.x| = [G\,:\,G_x] = |G| / |G_x|.
This result is especially useful since it can be employed for counting arguments.
\left|X/G\right|=\frac{1}{\left|G\right|}\sum_{g\in G}\left|X^g\right|
where Xg is the set of points fixed by g. This result is mainly of use when G and X are finite, when it can be interpreted as follows: the number of orbits is equal to the average number of points fixed per group element.
Fixing a group G, the set of formal differences of finite G-sets forms a ring called the Burnside ring of G, where addition corresponds to disjoint union, and multiplication to Cartesian product.
Group actions and groupoids[edit]
The notion of group action can be put in a broader context by using the action groupoid \scriptstyle G' \;=\; G \,\ltimes\, X associated to the group action, thus allowing techniques from groupoid theory such as presentations and fibrations. Further the stabilisers of the action are the vertex groups, and the orbits of the action are the components, of the action groupoid. For more details, see the book Topology and groupoids referenced below.
This action groupoid comes with a morphism \scriptstyle p:\; G' \,\rightarrow\, G which is a covering morphism of groupoids. This allows a relation between such morphisms and covering maps in topology.
Morphisms and isomorphisms between G-sets[edit]
If X and Y are two G-sets, we define a morphism from X to Y to be a function f : XY such that f(g.x) = g.f(x) for all g in G and all x in X. Morphisms of G-sets are also called equivariant maps or G-maps.
The composition of two morphisms is again a morphism.
Some example isomorphisms:
Continuous group actions[edit]
If G is a discrete group acting on a topological space X, the action is properly discontinuous if for any point x in X there is an open neighborhood U of x in X, such that the set of all g in G for which \scriptstyle g(U) \,\cap\, U \;\ne\; \emptyset consists of the identity only. If X is a regular covering space of another topological space Y, then the action of the deck transformation group on X is properly discontinuous as well as being free. Every free, properly discontinuous action of a group G on a path-connected topological space X arises in this manner: the quotient map XX/G is a regular covering map, and the deck transformation group is the given action of G on X. Furthermore, if X is simply connected, the fundamental group of X/G will be isomorphic to G.
The action of G on X is said to be proper if the mapping G × XX × X that sends (g, x) ↦ (g.x, x) is a proper map.
Strongly continuous group action and smooth points[edit]
A group action of a topological group G on a topological space X is said to be strongly continuous if for all x in X, the map gg.x is continuous with respect to the respective topologies. Such an action induces an action on the space of continuous functions on X by defining (g.f)(x) = f(g−1.x) for every g in G, f a continuous function on X, and x in X. Note that, while every continuous group action is strongly continuous, the converse is not in general true.[4]
The subspace of smooth points for the action is the subspace of X of points x such that gg.x is smooth; i.e., it is continuous and all derivatives[where?] are continuous.
Variants and generalizations[edit]
One can view a group G as a category with a single object in which every morphism is invertible. A group action is then nothing but a functor from G to the category of sets, and a group representation is a functor from G to the category of vector spaces. A morphism between G-sets is then a natural transformation between the group action functors. In analogy, an action of a groupoid is a functor from the groupoid to the category of sets or to some other category.

|Grant to preserve rare American music recordings and photos|
|Monday, May 07, 2012|
Dolly Parton's first recording is among the items that the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will preserve, thanks to a new grant from the National Endowment from the Humanities.
The $131,765, three-year grant is called "From the Piedmont to the Swamplands: Preserving Southern Traditional Music." It will help digitize and make available more than 1,650 hours of rare sound recordings and 4,500 photographs of musical figures from the 1920s to the 1980s.
The Parton recording dates from 1960, when the 13-year-old Dolly traveled by bus from Tennessee to Lake Charles, La., to record "Puppy Love" for the Goldband Recording Corporation. The collection holds the original master tape.
Other rarities to be preserved include:
"This grant allows us to preserve national treasures and provide online access to our collections for the first time," says Steve Weiss, curator of the Southern Folklife Collection, one of the nation's largest repositories for Southern music and culture.
The grant will preserve materials from four significant collections: the Goldband Recording Corporation Collection, _PHONE_; the William R. Ferris Collection, 1910s – 2003; the Mike Seeger Collection, 1955 – 2002; and the John Edwards Memorial Foundation Records, 1960 – 1988. Once digitized, the materials will be accessible online through the UNC library website, _URL_.

Polish cryptocurrency
It is worth mentioning at the beginning that in the age of today's new technologies, there is a trend to create your own cryptocurrencies in every corner of the world. It should be emphasized that Polish cryptocurrencies can also be found among thousands of other digital currencies. The promising future of developing and disseminating information related to cryptocurrencies makes the world increasingly dominated by new technology. It can be said that Poland, despite the lack of legal regulations on virtual currencies, does not inhibit its activities in the participation in the creation of cryptocurrencies. Below are those that have not gained the greatest popularity in the world so far, but it is worth watching their development - in particular, one of them - the Golem.
The Golem Project (GNT)
First of all, the Golem project (abbreviation: GNT), founded by Julian Zawistowski, should be mentioned. Golem is also known as a cryptocurrency supercomputer. The goal of GNT was to create a decentralized open source node for users, which means it would be an open source code. The essence of the project is to ensure that the creation of the GNT would reduce spending on research and analyzing detailed data.
The whole would reduce the energy devoted to these activities, as well as reduce the time spent by the entities involved. What's more, GNT enables the development of newer and newer programs using the programming sphere, thanks to which expenses are reduced, and is also a safer form of developing new programs. GNT is thriving in rewarding users who have sacrificed computing power against the design. Details about the project can be found on the official website: _URL_.
Polcoin (PLC)
A less popular cryptocurrency is the so-called Polcoin (abbreviation: PLC), which is the first Polish cryptocurrency established on the market as early as 2014. It is based on the same algorithm as Bitcoin. The main assumption of Polcoin was to increase its value through a system of limiting the supply with increasing demand. The future of the Polish cryptocurrency was promising, but in recent years it has not gained popularity, especially on the global market, where it has not gained much publicity. Despite the promising future for users, the possibility of eliminating payment intermediaries such as banks, the Polish currency did not achieve significant success.

Improving rivers: non-WINEP
We are committed to improving the ecology and the quality of water in rivers as well as continuing to offer leisure and recreational activities for the benefit of the public.
We measure the following activities in relation to improving rivers:
- the length of rivers where we have improved water quality by removing nutrients. These are rivers where no action is required by the Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP) but where stakeholders agree there is a need for further improvement
- the performance of our sewage treatment works (STWs) against their discharge permits; improving the performance of treatment works can help to ensure the region's rivers function ecologically
the implementation of catchment management offsetting in the river catchment. Where cost effective, the alternative use of catchment management to reduce run-off from agricultural land can be a more sustainable option to traditional treatment methods.

A woonerf (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋoːn.ɛrf]) is a living street where pedestrians and cyclists have legal priority over motorists as implemented in the Netherlands and in Flanders. Techniques include shared space, traffic calming, and low speed limits. Under Article 44 of the Dutch traffic code, motorised traffic in a woonerf or "recreation area" is restricted to walking pace.
The word literally translates as "living yard".
Since the invention of automobiles, cities have been predominantly constructed to accommodate the use of automobiles.
In 1999 the Netherlands had over 6000 woonerven.
In 2006 it was reported that people Hesselterbrink were disillusioned about how the woonerf principle had become another traffic engineering measure that "entailed precious little more than signs and uniform standards". They have now encompassed the shared space principles as a way of rethinking the woonerf. They are reported to "now know that car drivers should become residents. Eye contact and human interaction are more effective means to achieve and maintain attractive and safe areas than signs and rules".

Society for Linguistic Anthropology
Oral Presentation Session
Since the outbreak of the Sri Lankan war in 1983, hundreds of thousands of North and East Tamils have migrated to Canada, the U.S., Australia, India, and various European countries (Daniel 1996). In the last two decades new virtual spaces have enabled Tamil speakers (Tamils and Muslims) living in Sri Lanka and abroad to participate in a transnational public, which has influenced politics in Sri Lanka and the diaspora (Cheran 2007; Sriskandarajah 2005). The proliferation of social media in Sri Lanka in 2008 only increased the opportunity for youth to advocate for Tamil rights following the defeat of the LTTE in 2009, prompting a movement initially dubbed the "Blackberry revolution" (Shyamantha 2009). In this paper, I explore how resident and diasporic Sri Lankans negotiate a common Tamil or Tamil-speaking identity in Facebook and Twitter discussions. I look at explicit discourses of identity, as well as the more implicit ways individuals construct community membership through assumed linguistic knowledge and appreciation of sarcasm and humor. I underscore the significant of virtual forums in resolving the Sri Lankan Tamil question, as well as how longer term and stable Tamil identities are formed through more "light" identity work.

It's estimated that the Blackwall tunnel in London causes one million lost hours every year as people queue to cross under the River Thames in this busy part of East London, and the construction of the Silvertown tunnel will significantly reduce congestion in an area where the population is forecast to increase by 650,000 by 2036. Journey times are expected to be up to 20 minutes faster.
The tunnel will stretch for 0.9 miles and will connect Newham and the Greenwich Peninsula in the east of the capital.
Main contractor: Riverlinx Ltd a company comprising of Cintra, Aberdeen Standard Investments, BAM PPP, Macquarie Capital and SK E&C.
Before the tunnel could be built, the existing river wall needed to be replaced in order to strengthen the surrounding as well as providing flood storage provision to cater for a predicted water level rise of 1 metre in its 120 year design life. 260 sheet piles were installed to a depth of 10 metres below the foreshore. Each pile then interlocked to form a 340 metre wall along the riverbank. A stepped wall was created using L walls which will create an inter tidal terrace approximately 1,700m2 in size which will eventually be planted.
We supplied a total of 78 L-shaped retaining walls, which were 2.5 metres in height and between 1.4 and 2.5 metres wide, weighing up to 11 tonnes each. A textured finish was created on the river side of the walls to help the walls blend in more with their existing environment. This natural effect was created using a rubber formliner from Reckli which was incorporated into the new steel moulds procured specifically for this project, prior to the pouring of the concrete.
The units were lifted into position using a 110 tonne crane with a 10-20mm joint in between each unit.
Manholes were installed for drainage, followed by backfilling with cohesive material to the top of the L wall. In order to tie in the precast walls with the existing brick wall, mass concrete with nominal reinforcement was installed for crack control.
Our experienced sales team is always on hand to help and advise you on the features and benefits of all of our bespoke concrete products. We would be more than happy to help you discuss the wide variety of options on offer.Get in touch

8.1.2 RVML Symbols
This sections outlines the different types of displayable RVML symbols. All RVML symbols can have optional metadata associated with them. This metadata can be used for several purposes:
The following RVML metadata elements are current permitted: Shape
A Shape symbol defines an SWF vector shape symbol. These are the most basic components of all SWF graphics. A Shape symbol is represented by the RVML Shape element.
The Shape symbol contains at least one style table for the styles used in rendering the drawing operations. A style table should contain a list of all line styles used in drawing the graphic, and a list of all fill styles used in drawing the graphic. In addition to representing the set of styles supported by the SWF format KineticFusion also allow specification of dashed line styles.
Once the style table is defined, the remainder of the Shape symbol definition defines the drawing operations and style changes for the shape. KineticFusion augments the native SWF drawing primitives with new higher-level drawing operations that are automatically compiled down to the SWF primitives. These full set of drawing operations supported in RVML are:
The style settings for the current drawing operation can be changed at any time by preceding the operation with a SetStyle element that updates the current line style, the main fill, and the secondary fill. These styles are specified using indexes into the corresponding style table. Style indexes begin at 1 so to disable a style the style index can set to zero. ImageShape
Within SWFs, the only way to display an embedded image resource is to define it as a fill style for a Shape symbol, and then draw a rectangle that matches the bounds of the image. To simplify the displaying of images within RVML, a new ImageShape symbol was created that automatically creates a Shape symbol that is sized to the exact dimensions of the specified image resource. This is represented by an RVML ImageShape element. MorphShape
A MorphShape symbol is a 'tweened' symbol that represents the intermediate shape resulting from the interpolation of two inline vector shapes, each with an equal number of vertex points and styles. The actual symbol that is displayed at any time depends on a specified 'ratio' attribute that is used with the display operation. A ratio value of 0 displays the first vector shape; a ratio value 0f 65555 displays the second shape. All intermediate values will display the corresponding 'tweened' shape.
The MorphShape symbol is represented by the RVML MorphShape element. The definition of the MorphShape symbol in RVML specifies inline the styles of the first shape and corresponding styles of the second shape, followed by the vector operations for the first shape followed by the vector operations of the second shape. Style changes are only allowed on the first shape as it is necessary, when performing the interpolation, that style changes occur at the same vertices on both shapes. Button
The Button symbol allows users to statically define an SWF button symbol that provides interaction with the mouse and is represented by the RVML Button element. A Button symbol is defined in terms of Layer elements. Each Layer element defines a single symbol that is displayed in the button, the Z-Order depth at which the symbol resides, and the button states in which the symbol is used.
Button symbols can also have sounds associated with one or more state transitions such Press or Release using the ButtonSound element.
Button behaviours are defined using a ButtonActions element that define the ActionScript event handlers implementing the button interactions. All event handlers must take the form:
on ( )
 // ActionScript event handling code here
Where ButtonEvent is one of: MovieClip
A MovieClip symbol acts as a container for other symbols that can include animations and scripting elements. Additionally, a movie clip can act as a generic button-style object once Button event handlers are assigned to it (typically the graphical state of the button is reflected by separate MovieClip frames with the even handler movie the current frame pointer).
The MovieClip symbol is represented in RVML by the MovieClip element can contains only a single timeline. It is also possible to associated InitClip actions with a MovieClip - these actions are defined in the InitClipActions movie element or inline using the InitActions element. EditField and Text Symbols
There are two symbols for representing text in RVML: the EditField symbol for dynamic and HTML text, and the Text symbol for static text that is pre-positioned. For more information on text handling see the KineticFusion Text Handling Features section.

Recently, I have come across an intriguing discovery, powdered coffee creamer, when poured over a flame, can be quite flammable. While conducting some experiments, I read the back of pack of coffee creamer and it said, "Note, keep away from an open flame, as with all powdered substances, the contents of this packet are extremely flammable." I was wondering why this happens. This only happens when the powder is poured over a flame giving the powder room to spread.
In powders, there is a very large surface area to volume ratio. Since the rate of reaction depends on available surface atoms, when there is a large surface area to volume ratio, a reaction can happen very quickly and even be explosive.
A 1-gram pellet of zinc is much less reactive than 1 gram of powdered zinc. A large wooden log is much more difficult to ignite than a similar amount of sawdust. Granaries have explosion hazards when grain is transferred due to the dust that becomes airborne and possible static electricity sparks. In the case of the creamer, it will oxidize (burn) in the presence of a flame and oxygen when dispersed. This can be a very rapid and potentially dangerous situation.
Thanks for using NEWTON!

Text description provided by the architects. Utilizing an urban renewal grant, Gen Building is an affordable housing residential complex located in the center of Santiago. Considering energy conservation and recycled materials the architects chose to design a façade that utilized discarded aluminum and zinc materials from industrial buildings.
This 26-story apartment building has 285 apartments, a public first floor and roof level for entertainment, four floors of underground parking, three pools, and a private indoor plaza.
The eastern face of the main building volume features a metallic skin providing much needed shade on the roof and terraces, and noise reduction from Avenida Portugal.
About 120 solar panels are incorporated on the north facade of the building. The balconies and façade coordinate to make up the design element composition of the face.
The solar energy captured by these plates is used for heating and hot water, ensuring a savings of 100% in summer and about 70% in winter. Individual housing units have their own panel and manage its consumption independently.
The new density that is achieved through this innovative use of materials creating two new skins, east and north (the visible faces the building) has created an interesting and recognizable city block as a single facade, rather than individual units.

The structure of the blue-black iodine complex of amylose (the linear, helical component of starch), prepared either from iodine and iodide in aqueous solution or from crystalline amylose and iodine vapor, has been studied by resonance Raman and iodine-129 Mossbauer spectroscopy. In both cases it is concluded that the identity of the major chromophore is essentially the same: the pentaiodide (I5-) anion. For the material prepared from iodine vapor, the iodide required for I5- formation is produced by hydrolysis or alcoholysis of iodine. The other product of this reaction, a hypoiodite, has been assigned in the iodine Mossbauer spectrum.

Are the fans running on low or high ?
The engine control module (ECM) commands the fans ON in either high speed or low speed, depending on cooling requirements. In low speed, both fans are turned ON at a reduced speed. High speed has both fans turned ON at full speed.
In low speed operation, the ECM applies ground to the coil side of the fan low relay. This energizes the coil and applies voltage directly to the left cooling fan through the switch side of the fan low relay, which is fed by the fan 1 fuse. The right fan is connected in series to the left fan through the de-energized fan control relay so that both operate at low speed.
In high speed operation, the ECM applies a ground to the coil side of the fan low relay, the fan control relay , and the fan high relay. On the fan high relay, the energized coil closes the switch side of the relay and applies voltage directly to the right cooling fan through the switch side of the relay, which is fed by the fan 2 fuse. At the same time, the ECM energizes fan control relay pulling the switch side over, providing a direct path to ground for the left cooling fan, which has voltage applied through the energized fan low relay. In high speed mode, the fans are operated as a parallel circuit with full voltage applied to each.
You should have it hooked up to a scan tool that can read engine sensor data parameters . Check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes etc...
- If DTCs P0480 or P0481 are set, perform those diagnostics first.
- Ignition ON, verify with a scan tool that the control module is not commanding fan activation.
- Ignition ON, observe that the fans are not activated.
Your best bet is to take it to a ASE certified repair shop !

. Research by Wen Zhou and Denise Chen of Rice University have demonstrated that human sweat glands emit distinct chemicals when people experience different emotions. In addition, they showed evidence that other people can sense those chemicals at a later point in time. Taken together, these new findings suggest that our intuitive beliefs in emotional residue may be more than just superstition.
[Cognitive archaeologist David] Lewis-Williams … contends that shamans were largely responsible for the European cave paintings and that access to the caves (and images) was restricted. He sees in this an emerging social complexity and stratification, whereby shamans are privileged and powerful. Although this is plausible it is also speculative. There is little evidence for emerging complexity or stratification in the Upper Paleolithic archaeological record.
While the functional linkage between shamans-ASC-entoptics and ritual surely holds in some or even many cases, it is looking less likely in others. In 2004, Kevin Sharpe and Leslie Van Gelder suggested that 13,000 year old "flutings" inside Rouffignac Cave, France were made by children. In 2006, Sharpe and Van Gelder experimentally confirmed these findings and found that children between 2 and 5 years of age made these markings….
This year a Cambridge University doctoral student in archaeology, Jessica Cooney, discovered that children were responsible for even more "art" at Rouffignac than was previously thought. In a recent interview with History (which includes a slide show), Cooney discussed her findings:
What I've found in Rouffignac is that they are screaming to be heard—the presence of children is everywhere in the cave, even in the passages furthest from the entrance. There are no areas in Rouffignac with flutings where we find adults without children, and vice versa.
Many theories about cave art point to shamanism or ritual use. While I don't rule that out, I don't think that that's necessarily the case for all caves. With children involved, it could have been one of those reasons but also very likely could have been play or a time for practicing art, or simply an exploration of the landscape.
If we didn't know that young children made these markings, it would be tempting to attribute them to shamans experiencing ASC. There are some obvious resemblances between entoptic forms (see chart above) and the childrens' markings at Rouffignac. While one could argue that the children were shaman apprentices being tutored in ASC and entoptics, this amounts to special pleading. I can't think of any ethnographic or ethnohistoric instances of children this young being trained as shamans or inducing ASC.
These findings also call into question Lewis-Williams' contention that deepest, darkest recesses of caves were reserved for the most experienced shamans (with privileged access to the spirit world) undergoing the most intense ASC. If children were in these dark zones, it is hard to argue for restricted access or shamanistic exclusivity.
The most likely or parsimonious interpretation of these symbols is the one given by Cooney: play. If children were doodling "entoptics" in the cave with their parents, it suggests that "artistic" interpretations of these symbols deserve reconsideration.

Octopus has been integrated into the workflow of various projects, from form-finding processes in the early design stages to the optimisation of specific design solutions in later stages. It is often used with Karamba3D, a parametric engineering tool that performs quick and accurate Finite Element Analysis, to build parametric feedback loops for structural optimisation.
The flagship store roof structure is supported by nine clusters of columns and four cores.
Octopus was used to optimise the placement and quantity of column clusters between the cores while considering multiple objectives.
The genetic optimisation aimed to achieve three specific goals: 1) to minimise the weight of the steel mass, 2) to minimise the sum of all node displacement, and 3) to reduce the number of support clusters.
The visualisation depicts the Pareto-front of near-optimal solutions for column cluster positions based on their respective fitness values (top). The model shows a geometric representation of one column variant (bottom).
The project features a column system resembling tree branches. These 'column trees' comprise four types of A and V-shaped column modules stacked on top of each other on every floor.
Each column is defined by a rotation parameter that controls its orientation and all subsequent column positions above. The sum of all rotation parameters establishes the course of each column tree through the building and defines the structural behaviour of the building.
Karamba3D and Octopus were used to determine the columns' position and orientation and explore configurations that yield a building structure with minimal deflections in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
An irregular zig-zag column system supports the roof of an electric car charging station. The arrangement of nodes for this column system was generated through a multi-objective optimisation process that aimed to minimise displacement and steel weight, considering various geometric boundary conditions from below.

To solve a moisture issue involving soil saturation, a professional engineer
is recommending regrading using high clay content soil. Where does one
obtain high clay content soil? I'm located in NJ. Nobody seems to carry
that type of soil.
I a bit curious what sort of "professional engineer" is recommending
high clay content soil. Most engineers are extreme specialists and many
know very little outside of their specialty. I'm also a bit curious about
an expert who would recommend high clay soil but have no idea how
to acquire it.
Generally, high clay soil is something to be avoided in most landscapes.
If I lived near you, I'd gladly trade my worthless high clay soil for just
about any other soil type.
It is true that the initial infiltration rate of clay soils is much lower
than for other soils such as sandy loam. This seems like an advantage,
but it is important to realize that clay soils will eventually become
saturated just as any other soil type, and, unlike good soils, they have
very high water retention properties.
Most water problems are associated with clay soils and not with sandy
soils. This would include soil compaction and swampy soil, both of which
greatly inhibit grass and plant health. These problems also include
high hydrostatic pressures, which can cause wet basements, cracked
foundation walls, bowed basement walls, etc.
If you insist upon having high clay soils, then I'd suggest checking with
your largest local sand, soil and aggregate sellers and tell them what
you want. They may be able to direct you toward a source of "fines"
which can be added to your existing soil in a effort to convert it into
a clay soil. For reference, silt has a size of 0.002-0.050 mm, which
is the approximate size of sesame seeds. Better would be true clays,
which have a diameter less than 0.002 mm, which is the size of fine
table salt or smaller. Examine the clay before purchasing.
You can also check with ceramic suppliers, but the price per ton is
going to be very high - about $500 since you are buying a very high
grade clay with high quality standards. More practical would be finding
a source of crude river bank silt/clay, pit clay, etc. This is inexpensive,
about $25-$50 per ton. If you find a source, ask if they will sell you
or give you a small quantity such as the amount that fits in a 5 gallon
bucket. Experiment with this and your existing soil to determine the
correct ratio to create crappy high clay soil. Unless you are happy to
just dump it on top of the existing soil. Then purchase accordingly.
You can also let us know what problem you are attempting to solve
and some of us may have some more practical solutions. I've done a
bit of studying on drainage control issues, subsoil drainage, golf course
design, etc. I know that in many cases what you are being advised to
do can be a major disaster. A perched water table is one such possibility.
This occurs when finer soils sit atop a base of more coarse soils or
aggregates. While not intuitively obvious, this often creates a situation
in which the upper layer of fines "refuses" to drain. The opposite type of
perched water table is more intuitive and occurs when a highly permeable
soil sits on top of a soil with very low permeability.
Once again, what are the details about the problem you are attempting

Lots of church leaders are considering a tough question: What do you think is going to happen after the pandemic?
No one knows for certain how the challenges and opportunities of the pandemic will impact the future of congregations.
Yet the Rev. Dr. Charles "Chip" Hardwick, interim executive of the Synod of the Covenant, took time to reflect about "The post-pandemic church in the 'Great Virtuality'" in a piece published online July 13, 2021 by The Presbyterian Outlook.
Hardwick provides a brief historical context to the situation based on "The Great Emergence" by the late Phyllis Tickle then highlights three important dynamics leading to the current transition facing churches:
- The centrality of social media as a force shaping the way most Americans interact.
- The wide availability of broadband Internet access means that more of our life is spent online every day.
- The sudden inability to interact face-to-face when the pandemic began provoking momentous disruption in life.
"These changes lead me to coin the "Great Virtuality" as the next season for the church (and society)," Hardwick writes. "More of our ministries will likely be online than those who just "want everything to go back to normal" might hope."
He points to the work of Sherry Turkle, author of "Alone Together," for some ideas about how the introduction of technology impacts things then contends that digital interactions are here to stay, bringing both opportunities and challenges along with lots of questions to ponder.
REMEMBER: All congregations within the Presbytery of Lake Michigan receive an online subscription to The Presbyterian Outlook. Access back issues archived in the Presbytery Records and monitor the email address used to access that Google drive space for future copies of the magazine to arrive.

HORSE, JOHN (ca. _PHONE_)
Black Seminole leader John Horse was born in Florida circa 1812. A Seminole slave of African American, American Indian, and Spanish descent, he became a subchief during the Second Seminole War (1835-42) and participated in negotiations with the U.S. Army. Horse capitulated in 1838 and thereafter acted as an army guide and interpreter. He convinced many Seminole to surrender and assisted in their removal west. He relocated to the Indian Territory (present Oklahoma) in 1842 and received his freedom in 1843.
Horse accompanied a Seminole delegation to Washington, D.C., in 1844, resulting in his near assassination. Some Seminole considered Horse a meddler or held him responsible for their removal. For his protection Horse resided at Fort Gibson, where he served as an interpreter. In spring 1849 he helped found a Black Seminole settlement near present Wewoka in Seminole County.
In autumn 1849 Horse and approximately twenty Black Seminole families followed Seminole chief Wild Cat (Coacoochee) and his band to Mexico. Granted land in the state of Coahuila, the immigrants fought for Mexico against the Apache, the Comanche, and Texas filibusters. For his service Horse, whom Mexican officials knew as Juan Caballo and recognized as chief of the Black Seminole, was named a captain in the Mexican army. (John Horse was known by several names, including Gopher John, John Cowaya, John Cavallo, and John Coheia.)
In 1870 Horse resided at Laguna de Parras in Coahuila. He subsequently moved to Fort Duncan, Texas, where many Black Seminole had become U.S. Army scouts. Although he did not enlist, Horse served the army as an interpreter and negotiator. When the U.S. government failed to help the Black Seminole relocate to the Seminole Nation in the Indian Territory, John Horse returned to Mexico, where he died in 1882.

The County Council built an energy efficiency edifice of 1,032m to replace an old nursery unit. It now serves as a nursery, a creche, as well as a meeting room complex. The local residents and prospective end users were requested to provide their input on the project before its initiation. This was in regard to use of the building, colour schemes and the needs of the local residents.
From the outset, it was decided, by the design team, that renewable and sustainable technologies would be included in the build.
The outcomes of this project included:
- 22kW ground source heat pumps.
- Solar photovoltaic panels for hot water, providing 1.25kWp.
- Electricity and heat recovery ventilation systems.
- Rain water harvesting system for toilet flushing purposes (20,000 litre storage).
The main benefits derived from this project are:
- An immediate reduction in carbon emissions.
- Very low running costs due to insulation and new technologies.
- Award won for the Best Public Building Energy - The National Energy Efficiency Awards (2007).
Funding for this project, which cost £2,200,000 was from the Big Lottery Fund, the Welsh Assembly Government, Cymorth, Job Centre Plus and the Childcare Strategy. This building has been very well looked-upon and a number of external bodies have visited the site in order to emulate practices employed by the Council. These bodies have included CIBSE, the University of Glamorgan, and Neath Port Talbot College.

The new Instruction creates a new piece of data represented by a Destination.
To enable multiple objects to be created, if there is already data loaded into the Destination, it will be committed to the database. Nothing will be committed if there are any errors processing the current Record.
action "new"
destination The Destination for this data.
It is generally unnecessary to use the new Instruction for dependent destinations unless you are intending to create multiple objects.
To ingest new objects in a project Destination, use a new Instruction followed by other Instructions to add data:
 "action": "new",
 "destination": "project"
 "source": "TITLE",
 "destination": "project",
 "name": "dc:attribute:title"


PortDataReference class
Definition
Models data associated with an output of a completed StepRun.
A PortDataReference object can be used to download the output data which was produced by a StepRun. It can also be used as an step input in a future Pipeline.
PortDataReference(context, pipeline_run_id, data_reference, step_run=None)
Inheritance
builtins.object
PortDataReference
Parameters
context
_GraphContext
The graph context object.
pipeline_run_id
str
The id of the pipeline run which produced the output.
data_reference
DataReference
The data reference object.
step_run
azureml.pipeline.run.StepRun
The StepRun object which produced the data.
Remarks
A PortDataReference points to data which was produced by a completed StepRun.
Get a PortDataReference from a PipelineRun and download the output data as follows:
 from azureml.pipeline.core import PipelineRun, StepRun, PortDataReference
 pipeline_run = PipelineRun(experiment, "<pipeline_run_id>")
 step_run = pipeline_run.find_step_run("<node_name>")[0]
 port_data_reference = step_run.get_output_data("<output_name>")
 port_data_reference.download(local_path="path")
A PortDataReference can be used as an input to a step in a Pipeline, similar to using a DataReference.
An example to using a PortDataReference as a step input is as follows:
 from azureml.pipeline.core import PortDataReference, Pipeline, PipelineRun
 from azureml.pipeline.steps import PythonScriptStep
 pipeline_run = PipelineRun(experiment, "<pipeline_run_id>")
 step_run = pipeline_run.find_step_run("<node_name>")[0]
 port_data_reference = step_run.get_output_data("<output_name>")
 step_1 = PythonScriptStep(
 name='train',
 script_name="train.py",
 compute_target=compute,
 arguments=["--input", port_data_reference],
 inputs=[port_data_reference]
 )
 pipeline = Pipeline(workspace=workspace, steps=[step_1])
In this example, the newly constructed Pipeline will use the output which was created by the completed PipelineRun as an input to the train step.

jQuery.isNumeric in jQuery 1.7
As mentioned in my previous post that jQuery 1.7 is released and ready to use. With jQuery 1.7, a new function is introduced which is called "isNumeric()". This is a very handy and small utility introduced in 1.7.As the name of the function clearly suggest that it checks whether the passed value is numeric or not. If it is numeric then it returns true, otherwise false.
This function is really useful as it also returns true for negative numbers, decimal numbers, octal integer, Hex numbers and exponential strings. It saves lots of line of your codes and you don't have to worry about the regular expression as well to validate the number.
$.isNumeric("-10"); // true
$.isNumeric(16); // true
$.isNumeric(0xFF); // true
$.isNumeric("0xFF"); // true
$.isNumeric("8e5"); // true (exponential notation string)
$.isNumeric(3.1415); // true
$.isNumeric(+10); // true
$.isNumeric(0144); // true (octal integer literal)
$.isNumeric(""); // false
$.isNumeric({}); // false (empty object)
$.isNumeric(NaN); // false
$.isNumeric(null); // false
$.isNumeric(true); // false
$.isNumeric(undefined); // false

Remember that just because your ancestor appears on a 1830 real property tax list for Coshocton County, Ohio, it doesn't mean he lived there. A person could have owned property in a place without living there. People on personal property tax lists are more likely to have lived in the location.
But as for the real property lists, your ancestor might have speculated on property, inherited it, acquired it through military service, etc. and never lived on it. Most property owners lived on or near the property, but don't use your ancestor's name on a real property tax list as your sole proof that he lived there.

This paper presents a comparison between experimental and theoretical studies of a DC plasma torch.
A mathematical 2D model including both the arc and plume regions was developed by using Patankar's resolution method. In parallel, emission spectroscopy was performed on an identical DC plasma torch geometry for the temperature determination of the plume. The plasma gas is argon and the
ambient gas is air or argon at atmospheric pressure. The results of the experiments and of the code give similar behaviours such as an increase of the temperature on the axis with an increase of the arc current. The rise of
inlet gas flow rate tends to constrict the plasma leading to a heating of the axis region. The radial temperature gradients were sharper in air than in argon. Due to the differences on thermal conductivity and heat capacity, the cooling effect is more pronounced in air than in argon.

UNAIR NEWS – Thursday, Januari 28, 2021, Doctoral Program in Islamic Economics, Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Airlangga (FEB UNAIR) held an open dissertation defense exam. It was carried out online through the Zoom Meeting and it went well.
Dr. Kartika Hidayati as a promovenda defended her dissertation entitled "Financing in a Sharia Perspective for Corn Farming in Lamongan". Dr. Kartika said that corn is the second largest commodity in Lamongan Regency which is used as food as well as animal feed.
"When I went to the field and met with corn farmers, I found that on average, there was no synergy between their (farmers', ed) corn production and their welfare. Why did it happen? Because they use loan sharks in their financing, " said the active Vice Regent of Lamongan.
It was stated that the data for the dissertation was obtained through interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and direct observation of corn farming in Kedungpring sub-district, Lamongan Regency. The FGD was held with participants from several stakeholders in Lamongan Regency.
"I chose Kedungpring because of the 27 sub-districts in Lamongan Regency, this sub-district has the least agricultural land, which is 0.5 hectares. That way Kedungpring sub-district becomes our sampling so that it can be a role model for sharia financing to improve their welfare," she explained.
The research results showed that Islamic financing exceeds conventional financing (loan sharks, ed). This is indicated by agricultural yields which were originally an average of five to seven percent become 10 to 12 percent.
"Sharia financing can be accepted by farmers but it needs more massive dissemination to provide a deeper understanding of implementing the Islamic financing model in agriculture," she said.
Several government officials were invited, both local and central government, such as Dra. Hj. Khofifah Indar Parawansa, M.Si as Governor of East Java; Dr (HC). Drs. H. Abdul Halim Iskandar, M.Pd as the Minister of Village PDTT RI; Dr. Dra. Hj. Ida Fauziyah, M.Si as Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia; Arzeti Bilbina, SE., MAP as a Member of the Indonesian Parliament; and Dr. Diah Yuliastuti, SH., MH as the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia. In addition, it was also attended by Dra. Hj. Safira Machrusah, MA as Ambassador to Algeria; Dr. KH. Asep Saifudin Chalim from the Amanatul Ummah Islamic Boarding School; and Drs. KH. Marzuki Mustamar, M.Si as Chairman of the East Java PWNU. (*)

Search and Rescue Robot
Our development team at SAPHI designed & built a search & rescue robot that could be operated intuitively via a VR headset and controllers.
What Was The Problem?
At the time, search and rescue robots were difficult to control. The necessary movements were counter-intuitive and operators required significant training to be able to reliably deploy these devices in the wild. A newer, more intuitive version was required that would allow for simply adoption by operators.
What Was The Solution?
In short: Building a search and rescue robot that could be operated intuitively via a VR headset and controllers.
Detailed: A Telepresence Control System allows for a more natural approach to controlling a complex robotic system. This is made possible by using a Virtual Reality headset and controllers. Virtual Reality technology is used to immerse a user into different worlds such as in games and 360° recorded videos. Telepresence control takes the technology one step further by using the parameters collected from the headset and hand controllers within a 3D space and mathematically modelling the position of each servo motor.
The search and rescue robot SAPHI engineers developed has two manipulator arms and a camera arm. The camera arm gives the pilot a first-person view of the position of the robot via a live low latency video feed. The VR headset roll, pitch and yaw sensors are used to determine the angles in which to move the servo motors for positioning the camera.
The search and rescue robot's two manipulator arms are controlled via VR hand controllers. The hand controllers are tracked relative to the position of the headset which produces data that can be used in a mathematical model of the manipulators. The model determines the angle in which 16 servo motors need to move to in real-time.
The manipulators have a set of pincers that are used to interact with the environment around the robot. The pincers position can be varied by the amount of pressure placed on triggers that are located on each hand controller. Haptic feedback pressure from the amount of torque being applied to the pincers is also fed back to the hand controllers in the form of vibration. The more pressure being placed on the item being pressed, the more the controller will vibrate.
The benefits of such a control system being used in a rescue situation include;
- Removing rescue personnel from dangerous situations
- Intuitively allow rescue personnel to interact with the environment surrounding the robot with minimal training
What Were The Outcomes?
- Simplicity of operation
- Significant reduction in training time

Neuropsychology Abstract of the Day
Department of Internal Medicine and Epidemiology, New Haven, Connecticut 06504, USA.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the priority that older adults with coexisting hypertension and fall risk give to optimizing cardiovascular outcomes versus falland medication symptom-related outcomes. DESIGN: Interview. SETTING: Community. PARTICIPANTS: One hundred twenty-three cognitively intact persons aged 70 and older with hypertension and fall risk. MEASUREMENTS: Discrete choice task was used to elicit the relative importance placed on reducing the risk of three outcomes: cardiovascular events, serious fall injuries, and medication symptoms. Risk estimates with and without antihypertensive medications were obtained from the literature. Participants chose between 11 pairs of options that displayed lower risks for one or two outcomes and a higher risk for the other outcome(s), versus the reverse. Results were used to calculate relative importance scores for the three outcomes. These scores, which sum to 100, reflect the relative priority participants placed on the difference between the risk estimates of each outcome. RESULTS: Sixty-two participants (50.4%) placed greater importance on reducing risk of cardiovascular events than reducing risk of the combination of fall injuries and medication symptoms; 61 participants did the converse. A lower percentage of participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P=.02), unsteadiness (P=.02), functional dependency (P=.04), lower cognition (P=.02) and depressive symptoms (P=.03) prioritized cardiovascular outcomes over fall injuries and medication symptoms than did participants without these characteristics. CONCLUSION: Interindividual variability in the face of competing outcomes supports individualizing decision-making to individual priorities. In the current example, this may mean forgoing antihypertensive medications or compromising on blood pressure reduction for some individuals.

Collecting motion data is an important tool in controlling robots. Traditional approaches of motion capture usually use labels for passive markers. They suffers from several problems such as occlusions or cumbersome equipments. In the past few years, methods of markerless, unconstrained posture estimation using only cameras has received much attention from computer vision researchers. One of these methods is volume-based approach. Instead of deriving kinematic models directly from 2D images, this method first builds an intermediate 3D volume feature of the capture subject. Then fit a 3D body model is to the volume data. Here we proposed an approach for model-free, markerless, volume-based motion capture of humans. It is centered on generating underlying nonlinear axes (or a skeleton curve) from a volume of a human subject captured from multiple calibrated cameras.
Model-Based Approach
We set up cameras around the area where the observed person acted. Then extract volume data using voxel carving. The focus of our approach is to estimate the skeletal curves of the volume data, from which the kinematic posture can be estimated. The main assumption of our approach is that volume data is generated from a human body model consists of rigid body parts with linear central axes (such as a cylinder) connected by revolute joints. And the degrees of freedom provided by the revolute joints introduce nonlinearity into the volume data. By eliminating the nonlinearity in the data, the body model can be placed into a pose-invariant posture, such as a "Da Vinci" posture. Thus the skeleton curves can be easily found.
 1. Collect volume data from multiple cameras placed around the observed area, using voxel carving.
 2. Apply Isomap to the volume data of each time frame, And get the "da Vinci" posture in the domensionally reduced feature space.
 3. Place concentric spherical shells on the "da Vinci" posture to estimate skeletal points.
 4. Connect adjacent skeletal point to form skeletal curves. Then project those points back to original data space.

Skeletal curves derived from da Vinci posture Skeletal curves
After the skeletal curves and points are estimated. The segmentation ov different body parts are relatively easy.
 1. Bound the head voxels with a sphere model.
 2. Bound the torso with rigid cylinder model.
 3. Segment the four limbs to match two-link articulations models.
 4. Derive the joint angles from the segmentation.

Model-Free Approach
The model-free approach assumes arbitrary kinematic topology with rigid linear links. It derive appropriate kinematic model and capture its motion.
Given the volume data, this approach goes
 1. Model and pose estimation step: For each frame in the sequence, estimate a kinematic model and pose specific to the frame volume.
 - Classify skeleton curve root and branching nodes as certain joints
 - Segment skeleton curve branch to find other joints, using skewness of the voxel data long the curves. Those segmented joint points are recorded on the branch.
 2. Model refinement step: Produce a normalized kinematic model for the sequence
 - Align the specific kinematic models across all frames. Taking human data as example, match the left leg of the previous frame to the left leg of the next frame.
 - Collapse models on each other. Again using human data as example, collapse the points representing knees of the left leg in all of the frames to form a sequence of 1-D data.
 - Given the clusters of joint points of each limb, use density estimation algorithms to estimate normalized common joint locations across models.
 3. Motion refinement step: Estimate motion of normalized kinematic model with respect to the volume sequence
 - Re-apply refined model to each skeleton curve in the sequence.
 - For each data frame, for each branch in the curve, mark estimated joints locations on the curve.
 - Derive joint angles of each joints, and thus the posture of the curves.

Thomas's Forgotten Realms
The Dark Maiden
Eilistraee is the daughter of Corellon Larethian and Araushnee the Weaver (who later took the name of Lolth). She is a minor elven goddess and the sister of Vhaeraun. She is the drow goddess of song, dance, swordwork, hunting, moonlight, goodness, and beauty.
Eilistraee foresaw that the dark elves would need a beacon of good within their reach and allowed herself to be exiled with her people (dark elves) after very nearly slaying her own father with a misplaced arrow. Eilistraee swore never to use ranged weaponry again.
During her exile, the Dark Maiden wandered Toril. For centuries, she fought Vhaeraun, thwarting his efforts to gain influence over all the dark elves of the south. Despite many lost battles and setbacks, Eilistraee kept fighting to bring her hope to the drow and lead them back to their rightful place in the light.
In the Year of Wild Magic (1372 DR), the goddess Lolth went into a state of hibernation. Durign this time Eilistraee chose one of her new converts, Halisstra Melarn, to wield the artifact known as the Crescent Blade to kill Lolth before her awakening (in 1373 DR). Halisstra went on a mission to the Demonweb Pits, However, after being defeated at the hand of Quenthel Baenre, Halisstra ultimately decided to betray Eilistraee and The Crescent Blade was left broken, lying in the Demonweb Pits.
Eilistraee sought to recover the lost Crescent Blade; to that purpose, Cavatina Xarann, a Darksong Knight serving the Dark Dancer, went on a mission into the Demonweb Pits, where the sword was seen last. She recovered it almost intact and used it to kill the demigod Selvetarm in the Demonweb Pits.
On the same date Vhaeraun managed to infiltrate Eilistraee's realm and attempted to assassinate her. Eilistraee emerged from the attempt alive but changed: she became a deity known as "the Masked Lady", holding both the Dark Maiden's and the Masked Lord's portfolios and causing both their followers to cooperate, albeit uneasily.
In Flamerule of the Year of the Lost Keep, 1379 DR, the Masked Lady, while inhabiting the body of Qilué Veladorn, was killed by Halisstra Melarn using the Crescent Blade.
Eilistraee managed to return to life during the event known as the Second Sundering in Flamerule, 1489 DR. She and her brother were separate entities again, but after the time spent as the Masked Lady, they reached a reciprocal understanding, and the enmity between them was no more. Both deities have personally let their return be known, manifesting through their avatars to their followers, who enthusiastically are spreading the word.
Since then Eilistraee has been seen dancing and speaking to mortals in many places, especially along the Sword Coast. The citizens of Waterdeep witnessed the Dark Dancer, as she danced in the moonlight, near the walls of the city, up the road to Amphail. This has led many moondancers to the City of Splendors, with the goal of creating a shrine to their goddess within its walls.


A Variable-Speed Furnace Blower Boosts Comfort, Energy Savings
If saving money on heating your home is one of your financial goals, consider a variable-speed furnace blower that reduces electrical consumption substantially. These blower motors use different fan settings to heat and cool your home throughout the year, providing energy and cost savings and other home-comfort benefits.
 - A variable-speed furnace blower consumes less electricity because it converts AC power to DC, a more efficient use of electricity. Engineering studies have found that these blowers can reduce heating and air conditioning costs by as much as 40 percent. A single-speed motor can use 625 watts an hour, while a variable-speed motor uses 100 watts.
 - These motors start and stop slowly, so you don't feel a cold blast of air in the winter coming from the ducts. The longer running period also exhausts all the conditioned air in the ducts, making the most of your energy dollars. The air stays comfortable longer when the blower runs longer. The variable-speed furnace blower is also able to remove more humidity from the air because it runs longer and more slowly, increasing comfort in the summer when humidity can be uncomfortable.
 - The slower running speeds help clean the pollen, dust and dander from your indoor air better than fans that blow on high speed. People who suffer from allergies can set the furnace blower to run constantly, which removes many more particulates from the air, improving symptoms.
 - Motors that run fast create more noise, and the slow running speed of variable-speed motors makes them the quietest of any for forced air heating systems.
A heating and cooling system that uses a variable-speed furnace blower typically receives a higher energy rating than one that has a single-speed motor. The higher the rating, the less electricity the system uses.

Primary indicators () show you in a person or company record in Daylite which address data (phone number, e-mail address or postal address) is used by default, for example when you call a contact, send an e-mail or create an estimate in Daylite.
The primary indicators can be found for the address, email, and phone numbers of contacts and are divided into three levels:
= Entry is primary
= Entry is secondary (only possible for telephone numbers)
= Entry is not primary or secondary for telephone numbers
Set addresses as primary
For setting a postal address or e-mail address of a person or company data record as primary, click on the grey star. The selected address will now be saved as the primary address used and will be displayed first.
There are two ways to set primary phone numbers:
1. set secondary number primary
Click on the star next to the secondary phone number to set it to primary. The primary phone number is now saved as the secondary phone number.
2. set other number primary
For phone numbers that are not secondary you have the possibility to set them to primary or secondary after clicking on the star.
Disable primary counters
You can deactivate the function of the primary indicators via the Daylite menu bar -> Plugins -> PluginCenter -> Hide Primary Indicators in Edit Card. Afterwards you have to restart Daylite once to make the changes visible.
Take a look at this article to learn how to set addresses and phone numbers as primary:

Dsastat Syntax
DsaStat Syntax
DsaStat uses the following syntax:
Imagem dsastat [/loglevel:{INFO|TRACE|DEBUG}] [/output:{SCREEN|FILE|BOTH}] [/s:ServerName[PortNumber][;ServerName[PortNumber]...]] [/t:{TRUE|FALSE}] [/sort:{TRUE|FALSE}] [/p:PageSize] [/scope:{BASE|ONELEVEL|SUBTREE}] [/b:SearchPath] [/filter:LdapFilter] [/gcattrs:{[LDAPAttributes[Attribute;Attribute...]]| [ObjectClass]|[Auto]|[All]} [/u:UserName] [/pwd:Password] [/d:Domain
Parameters
/loglevel:{INFO|TRACE|DEBUG}
Specifies the extent of logging that is performed during execution. The default option is INFO.
/output:{SCREEN|FILE|BOTH}
Specifies where the results of DsaStat are displayed. If FILE is selected, the output is saved to a file named Dsastat.log.nnnnn. The default option is BOTH.
/s: ServerName[PortNumber][;ServerName[PortNumber]...]
Specifies the names of the servers on which the comparison is performed. Separate each server name with a semicolon (;). The server name can be appended with the TCP/IP port number. If PortNumber is 3268, the comparison is performed against the global catalog of that server. The default port number is the default LDAP port (389).
/t:{TRUE|FALSE}
Specifies whether to perform a statistics comparison or a full-content comparison. Setting /t: to TRUE performs a statistical comparison. Setting /t: to FALSE performs a full-content comparison. The default is TRUE. The statistical comparison merely counts the objects. It does not compare the attributes of the objects that have been retrieved from the domain controllers and it ignores the /gcattrs parameter. A full-content comparison retrieves every object with attribute values and performs a comparison of the attributes of the same object from different domain controllers.
/sort:{TRUE|FALSE}
Determines whether the search operations are performed with sorting based on object GUID. Setting /sort: to TRUE performs sorted queries. Setting /sort: to FALSE does not perform sorted queries. The default value is FALSE. Performing a sorted query by setting this option to TRUE has a negative impact on performance; however, it complements the full-content comparison because it ensures that objects are returned in nearly the same order from different servers and improves the performance of full-content comparison.
/p: PageSize
Sets the number of entries to be returned per page for ldap_search operation. The valid range for PageSize is 1-999. The default value is 64. If the directory objects are large (such as user objects with many of their attributes populated with values), it is advisable to use a smaller page size.
/scope:{BASE|ONELEVEL|SUBTREE}
Specifies the extent of scope for the search operation. The default option is SUBTREE.
/b: SearchPath
Sets the distinguished name of the base search path. This allows DsaStat to perform the comparison against any subtree of the directory.
/filter: LdapFilter
Sets LDAP filter used in the LDAP search operation. The filter must conform to LDAP search syntax as specified in RFC 2254. The default filter is (objectclass=*).
/gcattrs:{[LDAPAttributes[Attribute;Attribute...]]| [ObjectClass]|[Auto]|[All]}
Specifies attributes to be returned from search. This option is used only if the comparison parameter /t is set to FALSE: LDAPAttributes specifies any LDAP attribute available. Multiple attributes may be specified separated by semicolons. ObjectClass specifies that no attributes be displayed. Auto specifies that only the attributes replicated to the global catalog be displayed. All specifies that all attributes contained in an object be displayed
/u: UserName
Specifies the user name to use for the query.
/pwd: Password
Specifies the password to use for authenticating the user name. Must be used with the /u parameter.
/d: Domain
Specifies the domain to use for authenticating the user name. Must be used with the /u parameter.

Economics Research Institute Study Paper
Utah State University Department of Economics
Careful studies of the distribution of income in nineteenth-century United States have been hampered by a paucity of available data. This study undertakes the analysis of factors influencing the distribution of personal income in communities in the Great Basin region of the western United States for the years 1860-61 and 1870. The study utilizes estimates of full income by individual based on information contained in the General Economic Records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, demographic and economic data from the manuscript censuses of 1860 and 1870, and other relevant data from contemporary sources. Mean income and Gini ratios are calculated for nearly all Great Basin communities, and econometric analysis is undertaken to identify the impact on income distribution of changes in mean income, community size, crop destruction by grasshoppers, and the percentage of the population born in non-English speaking countries. The econometric results are compared to the results of an earlier study that looked at factors influencing income inequality for the Great Basin as a whole over the period _PHONE_. Of particular interest is the impact of ethnic mix on relative income inequality. While the earlier study found that Gini ratios for the Great Basin region rose as the fraction of the population born in non-English speaking countries increased, the current study finds that Gini ratios first rose, then fell as the percentage of the community born in non-English speaking countries rose. At the territorial level, grasshopper infestation increased relative inequality, but at the community level it decreased inequality. The completion of the transcontinental railroad allowed a few individuals in urban communities to earn large incomes in capital-intensive activities, increasing community income inequality, ceteris paribus, but community access to the railroad had a leveling effect on labor income and product prices, reducing community income inequality.
