Frequently Asked Questions
If you are called for jury duty, you will have many questions – from where you should report to what will happen during a trial if you are chosen to serve. Most of these steps are set by state law and a few court rules. What you read here should cover most of your questions when called to serve in the Superior Court of California, although each county may be slightly different.
1. Who may be called to serve as a juror?
You may be called to serve if you are 18 years old or older, a United States citizen, and a resident of the County of Humboldt. In addition you must not have served as any kind of juror during the past 12 months, nor have been convicted of a felony.
2. How did my name get selected for jury duty?
Jurors' names are selected at random from lists of registered voters. In addition, the law provides that the courts may use the names of all persons who have driver's licenses or identification cards issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
3. How long will my name be on the prospective juror's list?
Your name will remain on the court's jury list for at least one year, and you may be called for jury duty at any time during that year. If you are not called one year, your name may be placed on next year's list.
4. When I am summoned as a juror, what should I do?
READ the summons and juror information form. Complete the juror information section, date and sign it. Bring the summons form with you when reporting. Keep the summons portion and parking permit for your future use. Your juror group number and future instructions are located on the summons portion. Check your status by checking the reporting instructions at this website or by phone, per the instructions on your summons. The parking permit lists the address of the courthouse for the Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt. In Humboldt County trials are held at the 825 Fifth Street site in Eureka.
5. What happens if I do not respond to the jury summons?
For your information, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 209 provides that "Any prospective trial juror who has been summoned for service, and who fails to attend upon the court as directed or to respond to the court or jury commissioner and to be excused from attendance, may be attached and compelled to attend; and, following an order to show cause hearing, the court may find the prospective juror in contempt of court, punishable by a find of up to $1,500, or 5 days in the county jail, or both" (CCP 1218(a)).
6. May I postpone my jury service to a more convenient time?
You may request to reschedule your jury service to a more convenient time. Usually it must be rescheduled during the same year and not exceed 90 days from the date of your summons. Jurors are allowed one postponement. Mail your request for postponement to the Jury Services Office.
7. Do I get paid for jury duty?
Payment to jurors begins on the second and subsequent days. You will not get paid on the first day of service. The minimum amount paid is set by the State Legislature. The county pays $15.00 per day plus.34 cents per mile one-way from home.
8. Does the Court pay for meals?
No. Meals are not provided during a trial or during deliberations.
9. How can I be a juror if my boss won't let me off?
Employers must allow employees time off to serve on a jury. The California Labor Code Section 230 prohibits any employer from firing or harassing an employee who is summoned to court for jury services as long as reasonable notice is given. If you are a teacher or student, you are protected by California Education Code Sections 44037 and 87306.
If you are concerned that jury duty has negatively impacted your employment, the Department of Labor Standars Enforcement (DLSE) can provide assistance. A Senior Labor Commissioner will respond to questions at _EMAIL_.
Some employers may pay the difference between your jury allowance and your salary. For example, if your salary for the day is $35.00 and the jury fee is $15.00, your employer may pay $20.00. However, this is not required by law, but many contracts require the pay differential.
10. What should I wear to Court?
Dress as you would to go to a business meeting or social function. Check with the Jury Services Office if you have any doubts.
11. Is there any special way I must act in court?
Be alert and courteous. You may bring a book or newspaper to read while you're waiting for court to begin, or during recesses, but don't read while court is in session. Be sure to turn off all cell phones and audible pagers in the courtroom. Eating and chewing gum is not permitted.
12. How much of my day will jury service take?
You should plan to attend court as a juror all day from 8:00 – 4:30 p.m. depending on the court's schedule. Civil cases will last could last from one to two weeks or sometimes longer. The average length is around five days. Criminal cases generally last from one to two weeks.
13. Why are there such long breaks and lunch hours during a trial?
The judge may have to set the next day's calendar and dispose of other cases. Attorneys may need time to prepare their witnesses and other aspects of the case.
14. What happens if I'm late?
Contact the Jury Services Office as soon as you know that you are going to be late. If you are already assigned to a courtroom, contact the Jury Services Office or the clerk of the court and explain your situation. Remember the trial cannot proceed until everyone is present. If you don't have a good excuse, the judge may fine you for being late.
15. Is it true that I must not discuss the case with anyone while it's in progress?
Do not talk to anyone about the case until you are discharged from the jury, not even the lawyers or the judge, except through the bailiff. Discussions with others can cause a mistrial because the juror gained evidence outside the record. If any person persists in talking to you about the trial or attempts to influence you as a juror, tell the bailiff. During deliberations at the end of the trial, of court, you will discuss the case with other jurors in order to reach a verdict.
16. May I investigate some parts of the case that aren't brought out by the attorneys on my own?
No. Under no circumstances should you investigate the case on your own, either alone or with other jurors. You may not talk to witnesses, or do independent experiments. Your verdict must be based only on evidence produced in court. This prevents a trial based on secret evident. If you violate this rule, you could cause a mistrial.
17. Why do attorneys talk with the judge out of the jurors' hearing?
If this happens, do not feel slighted or guess what is being said. Such conferences are held to discuss legal issues or to agree upon points of evidence. These conferences often help speed up the trial or avoid the possibility of a mistrial.
18. Who can I write with suggestions about my jury service?
The Presiding Judge or the Jury Commissioner, at mailing address 825 Fifth Street, Room 231, Eureka, Ca. 95501

The Red-footed Booby bird is the smallest of the booby birds at 71 centimetres in length and a 137 centimetre wingspan. It has red legs and the bill and throat pouch are coloured pink and blue.
The Red-footed Booby bird has two plumage forms. The white phase is basically white with black on the flight feathers. The brown form is brown with a white belly rump and tail. Both forms may occur together, as in the breeding colony on St. Giles Island, Tobago. Few seabirds display such a variety of colour phases. Legs and feet are red and their beaks are pale blue. Below you can view a short video of the Red Footed Booby Bird.
The Red-footed Booby bird breeds on islands and coasts in tropical oceans. It winters at sea and is therefore rarely seen away from the breeding colonies.
The Red-footed Booby bird nests in large colonies, laying one chalky blue egg in a stick nest in a tree, which is incubated by both adults for 44 - 46 days. It may be 3 months before the young first fly and 5 months before they make extensive flights.
Red-footed Booby pairs may remain together over several seasons. They perform elaborate greeting rituals, including harsh squawks and the males display of his blue throat.
Young Red-footed Booby birds are wholly brown or blackish grey with a black beak, facial skin and grey legs. Immature have patchy underwings without a definite pattern, white back, mottled grey-brown head and red or brownish legs. Length: 66 - 77 centimetres (26 - 30 inches); wingspan: 91 - 101 centimetres (36 - 40 inches). The Red-footed Booby bird has an average life span of 22 years.
The Red-footed Boobies of the Galapagos Midway island are a white colour morph. Adult birds have white body and tail plumage. Upperwings have black primary and greater secondary coverts. About 444 pairs nest on Eastern Island.
The Red-footed Booby birds feed by diving vertically into the water and rarely within sight of land. They can dive up to 30 metres to pursue their prey. They feed primarily on flying fish and squid. They either feed on their own or within a mixed species flock. They search for their food anytime during the day and after dark. Red-footed Boobies are specialized in catching flying fish. They dive while skimming at the surface of the ocean and they do it far from shore. For that reason sometimes they need the whole day or even more in their fishing raids and their chicks have therefore to fast in the nest until their parents return with food.
Colonial in nature, the Red-footed Booby differs from the other Boobies by making their nests in small trees and shrubs. Colonies can be found on Tower, Culpepper, Wenman, Gardener-near Floreana, Pinta and Isla Pitt. They are rarely seen in areas other than where they breed. Eggs can be found throughout the year with colonies hatching at the same times.
The voice of the Red-footed Boobies is like that in the other booby birds. However both the whistle and the honk come accompanied by an inflexion that sounds like a grunt. Besides this, red boobies come in two different morphotypes; the brown and dominant and the white recessive. These morphotypes make them look very special in the sense of beauty. Is important to remember that in spite of the great apparent difference they show, both colours are from the exact species of Boobie. They are not different species.

When it involves money, a person's personality serves a meaningful role in their financial decision-making. Each person is unique, and that's what makes us human, so it really shouldn't come as a shock that there are certain personality types that are more likely to have money issues than others. It's tough to modify your personality traits, especially when you're older, so simply having an understanding of how your personality affects your financial decisions can help you make better financial decisions down the road. It's without a doubt an important topic to understand, as money challenges can intensify rapidly and you can find yourself in deep water within the blink of an eye. This article will look at 4 different personality types whom are more likely to have money complications, together with some recommended ways to improve your financial situation if you fall into one of these personality classifications.
- The Risk-Takers
Economically speaking, the higher the risk the higher the reward, but the likelihood of experiencing high risk success is significantly low. Some people are born as risk-takers, others develop this personality trait gradually; but most of the time, it's the thrill of the risk that these types of people revel in. Statistically, the likelihood of financial success for the risk-takers are low, so it is vital for these types of people to diversify their risks to increase their chances of financial success. These individuals can make high-risk investments, but they can't put all their eggs in one basket. A mix of high-risk and low-risk investments will substantially improve their financial future.
- The Spenders
Whether they're wealthy or not, the spenders are the types of people who live life to the fullest without taking into consideration the financial effects of their decision-making. Whether they're spending money to have fun, look good, or to simply please others, the spenders are more likely to accumulate significant amounts of debt which can take a long period of time to repay. Consequently, their opportunity of financial success are considerably impeded. Saving money is the key to financial success, so to avoid overspending, the spenders need to consider setting up a budget to observe their spending habits and at the same time, study the triggers that cause them to spend their money to begin with. Addressing the triggers that cause these types of people to overspend is the key to fixing the issue.
- The Ignorants
The ignorants are normally the type of people that are financially uneducated and have no interest in improving their financial skills. The ignorants may have a similar way of thinking to the risk-takers in that they want to 'live life to the fullest' and as a result, spend all of their money and wind up in debt. It's crucial that folks with this personality trait learn the value of money and how it can be used to provide a better future. Instead of thinking about now, they should aim to think about how spending their money now will affect their future. Take an interest in learning how to budget by reading online blog posts and articles. Who knows, they might actually enjoy it?
- The Pessimists
In bleak contrast to the risk-takers, the pessimists have a tendency pass up on opportunities to make money purely because they're afraid they won't succeed. When it relates to large investments like purchasing a house or investing in the stock market, the pessimist will avoid taking any risks for fear of losing their hard-earned money. The challenge with the pessimists is that by avoiding all risks, they will feel more secure, and this will impair their opportunity of financial growth and success. An ideal solution for the pessimists is to diversify their investments in a wide-range of markets to make certain that they have a well-balanced portfolio that is low-risk and offers an opportunity for a good return.
There are naturally many other types of personalities than the ones specified above, however these are likely the most common personality traits that inhibits financial growth and can result in money issues. In today's world, money is without question extremely important not only for survival, but also to be able to enjoy the only life we have. Just because you have particular personality traits doesn't suggest that you can't modify some of them over time to be more financially responsible. If you need any assistance with your finances, or you've found yourself facing a mountain of debt due to overspending, get in touch with Bankruptcy Experts Darwin on 1300 795 575 for assistance, or visit _URL_ for more details.

DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) is an important tool for checking the healthiness of oil-filled power transformers. Power Transformer is important and expensive equipment in Power Transmission and Distribution systems. Periodic checking or testing of the transformer is done to maintain the healthiness of the transformer.
Transformer oil is used for insulation and cooling of the Transformer. Due to any fault condition or chemical reaction inside the transformer, the oil properties will change and it will generate various gases which are dissolved in the oil.
DGA of the oil sample is checked to identify the generated gases inside the oil. Generally, DGA of Transformer oil checks in the testing lab. Portables kits are also available to test DGA at the field.
Transformer oil is a molecule of Hydro carbon, it contains Hydrogen and carbon atoms which are linked by chemical bonds. Due to the decomposition of Transformer Oil and paper insulation of Transformer, it generates the following gases, which are also called DGA gases. The DGA gases are Hydroge(H2), Methene(CH4), Ethane(C2H6), Ethylene(C2H4), Acetylene(C2H2), Carbon Monoxide(CO), Carbon Dioxide(CO2), Oxygen(O2), Nitrogen(N2).
|Gas||Formula||Temperature at which gas forms||Source of Gas|
|Hydrogen||H2||<150°C for Cold Plasma ionization or corona in oil, >250°C for thermal & delectrical fault||Partial Discharge(PD, Thermal Fault, Power Discharge, sunlight, Rusting|
|Methene||CH4||150°C to 300°C||Low and medium temperature thermal faults, Corona partial discharge|
|Ethane||C2H6||200°C to 400°C||Low and medium temperature thermal fault|
|Ethylene||C2H4||300°C to 700°C||High Temperature thermal fault|
|Acetylene||C2H2||>700°C||High energy discharge or Arc, Very hot spot|
|Carbon Monoxide||CO||105°C to 300°C||Thermal fault involving cellulose (paper, pressboard, Wood blocks) slowly from oil oxidation|
|Carbon Dioxide||CO2||105°C to 300°C||Thermal fault involving cellulose (paper, pressboard, Wood blocks) slowly from oil oxidation Normal aging|
|Oxygen||O2||Vacuum in oil or drop in oil temperature||Leakage, Expose of oil to atmosphere|
|Nitrogen||N2||Vacuum in oil or drop in oil temperature||Leakage, Expose of oil to atmosphere|
Why is DGA important?
- Early detection of faults: By identifying the presence and concentration of specific gases, DGA can help detect developing faults within the transformer at an early stage, before they become critical and lead to costly failures.
- Diagnosis of fault type: Different types of faults within the transformer produce different gas signatures. Analyzing the gas composition allows for accurate diagnosis of the specific fault, enabling targeted maintenance and repairs.
- Predictive maintenance: Regular DGA monitoring can help predict potential transformer failures, allowing for preventive maintenance and extending the lifespan of the equipment.
How is DGA performed?
- Oil sampling: A small oil sample is drawn from the transformer using specialized equipment.
- Gas extraction: The dissolved gases are extracted from the oil sample using various techniques such as vacuum extraction or headspace analysis.
- Gas analysis: The extracted gases are identified and their concentrations are measured using a gas chromatograph.
- Interpretation of results: The gas concentrations are compared with established standards and guidelines to determine the health of the transformer and identify any potential problems.
Key gases analyzed in DGA:
- Hydrogen (H2): Indicates overheating, arcing, and corona discharge.
- Methane (CH4): Indicates overheating and arcing.
- Ethane (C2H6): Indicates overheating and low-energy arcing.
- Ethylene (C2H4): Indicates overheating and low-energy arcing.
- Carbon monoxide (CO): Indicates overheating and thermal decomposition.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2): Indicates overheating and thermal decomposition.
Benefits of DGA:
- Non-destructive: DGA does not require any physical intervention within the transformer, making it a non-intrusive and safe method for assessing its health.
- Cost-effective: DGA is a relatively inexpensive test compared to other diagnostic methods.
- Reliable: DGA provides reliable and accurate information about the internal condition of the transformer.
- Widely applicable: DGA can be used for transformers of all sizes and types.
By routinely performing DGA, transformer owners can:
- Enhance the reliability and availability of their electrical equipment.
- Reduce the risk of unexpected failures and costly outages.
- Optimize maintenance schedules and costs.
- Extend the lifespan of their transformers.
Overall, DGA is an essential tool for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of oil-filled transformers. By understanding its principles and benefits, you can better evaluate the health of your transformers and make informed decisions regarding maintenance and operation.

This experiment attempted to expand the knowledge of environmental radiation at the 51.6 degree orbit, the location of the Mir station and future location of the International Space Station. Information on the shielding effects of the station and different methods of radiation dosimetry was also gathered. The data and associated analysis contributed to the establishment of a reliable database for the radiation environment in space.
Two types of spectra were measured and compared: linear energy transfer (LET) and absorbed dose. The measurements for both spectra occurred inside six area passive dosimeters (APDs) that were flown to Mir via Shuttle mission STS-76 and placed at six different locations on Mir. LET spectra was measured using CR-39 PNTDs that were placed on the APDs. The CR-39 plates were etched with a NaOH solution and read out on an image digitizer system and analyzed. The absorbed spectra was measured using thermoluminescent detectors (TLDs) attached to the APDs. The flight data was compared with data read from background and calibration TLDs.
By using identical APDs in the exact locations on Mir, changes in radiation levels over time were recorded and analyzed. The measured dose rates in the APDs ranged from 268 to 422 mGy/d, yielding an average of 324 mGy/d. The differences in the high and low values were most likely caused by shielding differences due to the individual APD placements on Mir. Also, secondary target fragments, generated by inelastic scattering of protons and alpha particles within the detector medium, contributed to the spread of values. The dose and dose equivalent rates were used to calculate the effective quality factor, which was determined to be about 9 for LETs 25 keV/mm. This value shows the significance of short-range high LET target fragments to dose equivalent. The shielding data is currently being used to model the APD measurements made in the Mir Core.


, after the ACTION parameter. This is used to call a JavaScript program that checks whether we want to submit the form. If we determine that the form is bad, we return the value "false", which halts the submission. If the form is determined to be fine, we return the value "true", which does not affect submission.
In the script, we depend on the fact that Laura has passed the form itself to the script as a parameter (an argument in parentheses). This is necessary for the program to know about any of the form objects it checks. Seems odd, that it wouldn't know, but C and C++ programs, and JavaScript programs, too, view variables as private and local, unless passed to the program. In other words, the program knows nothing about the form unless we tell it about the form.
Essentially, Laura uses two tests of data validity in her program. She first tests whether the value of the object "theName" is blank or empty. (The double pipe operator ( || ) is the standard C logical operator for OR.) If either of these conditions are true, she calls the alert() function, and passes it a message for the user.
if (thisform.theName.value == null ||
 thisform.theName.value == "" )
 alert ("Please enter your name") ;
 thisform.theName.focus() ;
 return false ;
After the alert, she sets the focus on the field that needs editing. This places the screen cursor there, aiding the user in changing the data. Finally, she returns the value "false", which prevents submission.
The second error check is to tell if any radio button in a required set has been selected. She creates a flag variable which she calls "selected". She sets its value to "false", then runs through a loop that checks the value of each of the radio buttons. If any button in the set is has been clicked, its status property will be set to "true". If she finds such a button, she sets the value of the flag to "true". At the end of the loop, she tests the value of the flag. If it is "false" she alerts the user, and returns the value "false". Why no change of focus? She can't. If you set the focus on a radio button, you have selected it, which is the same as clicking it, and that is what the user must do.
 var selected = false ;
 for ( var i = 0; i <= 2 ; ++i ) {
 if ( thisform.theSex[i].status == true )
 { selected = true }
 if ( selected == false ) {
 alert ("Please choose your sex") ;
 return false ;
 return true
As a last note, Laura discusses the construction of arrays several times in the chapter. She states that the index of an array member, like member[index], is meant to indicate its position in the array. She talks about the array constructor she demonstrates making arrays whose index numbers really start with 0, but we only use the members from index 1 on.
She left out an important point for the C students. If we create an array with four members, the index numbers of those members are 0 through 3, not 4. So, when she says we create an array whose size is four, and that we do not use the 0 index, and that we can and do use 1 through 4, she ignores the fact that she is talking about an array of FIVE members, not four. JavaScript was meant to protect the user from such realities. If it doesn't bother you, don't worry about it. Some of us, on the other hand, need to know where the magician palmed the little red ball. (And if you really want to know such things, I recommend a shop found in various casinos in Las Vegas called Houdini's Magic Shop. If you can't go there, try this link. Houdini's Magic Shop)

Argentina's urban infrastructure company Subterráneos de Buenos Aires/Sociedad del Estado (SBASE) has selected Siemens for a €30m project to enhance the signalling and depot operations control centre.
The contract also includes the delivery of a new passenger information system for subway line C in the capital city.
The 5km-long C line with nine stations links the northern and southern regions of the city and carries up to 340,000 passengers daily.
Under this project, Siemens will install its Trainguard MT train control system, which monitors train speeds, on line C of the metro system to enhance punctuality and train intervals with improved safety.
The automated system using the line data will provide departure and arrival for trains to ensure punctuality.
The system will be handled by Controlguide Vicos operations control system, while radio transmission will make use of the Siemens Airlink solution.
Sicas electronic interlockings will offer safe settings on the routes and signalling technology will be controlled through the operations control centre in Constitución.
Commissioning of the line is scheduled for the end of 2016.
In 2007, Siemens had supplied the signalling technology and power supply systems for the 6km-long subway line H and communication-based train control technology (CBTC) during its 4km extension in 2012.
Siemens will also supply a rectifier substation, medium-voltage switchgear, a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor the traction power network and the catenary system for the electrification of the extended line.
Buenos Aires's metro opened in 1913 and the Latin America's oldest subway system controls six lines with a total route length of 53km and 83 stations.

When the babies start to grow, moms are always worried about their healthy diet. This is because babies are usually picky with what they want to eat and therefore, the essential nutrients are often missing from their diet.
Curd has always been the most loved food by most of the kids. The subtle sweet taste of yogurt is preferred by children. And not only babies but mothers are also very happy with healthy dahi as it can be paired with any other food item or fruit for a wholesome and filling meal for the little tummy!!!
Health Benefits of Yogurt for Babies and Kids
We have come up with a few health benefits of curd for babies which make it a wonderful choice of meal for the little ones. Let us find out what these advantages are:
High in Nutrients
Dahi has been found to be rich in various nutrients. Not only it is rich in water and proteins but is also contains carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins in good proportion which make it a wholesome meal for the babies who are constantly growing.
Easy to Digest
We are aware that curd is formed by the process of fermentation by a bacteria. This bacteria is known to make the process of digestion smoother. Therefore, if you are feeding your baby with yogurt on daily basis, his digestion will stay in good shape.
Strengthens Immune System
Lactic acid helps in imparting strength to the immune system of kids by removing from the system that is known for causing problems like diarrhoea and dysentery in children thereby keeping them healthy.
Helps Sleep Better
Babies can sleep better when they are given yogurt because of its soothing and calming nature.
Cures Gastric Issues
All the discomfort and irritation in the stomach because of gas can be cured by feeding the baby with dahi. This is because of the Lactic acid which is effective in neutralizing acid-alkali balance of the system.
Treating Eczema in Kids
Usually kids between 2 to 4 months of age develop certain skin allergies or eczemas. The findings of a research suggest that feeding babies with yogurt can reduce the risk of developing these allergies can reduce up to 70 per cent.
These are some of the amazing benefits of curd for babies. So if your kid enjoys strawberry yogurt or mango shreekhand, don't stop him from eating these delightful combinations because they are very healthy.

text: Ransomware is advanced malicious software, which comes in the forms of different forms, with the intention to attack and take control of basic infrastructures and computer systems. The majority of these threats are meant to extort money from their victims by asking for a ransom in exchange for decryption keys. Most of the techniques deployed to detect this could not completely prevent ransomware attacks because of its obfuscation techniques. In this research work, an intelligent crypto-locker ransomware detection technique using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm is proposed to overcome the malware obfuscation technique because of its ability to learn, train and fit dataset based on the observed features. The proposed technique has shown remarkable prospects in detecting crypto-locker ransomware attacks with high true positive and low false positive rate.

On April 6, 2021, the civil society organization Zero Waste Europe (ZWE) published a toolkit with nine factsheets as part of the UNWRAPPED Project. The material was developed to help communicate the human health risks posed by chemicals that can be present in food packaging materials through providing facts and figures. The nine factsheets inform about, among others, the human health risks posed by hazardous chemicals in food packaging, policy recommendations on how to protect human health, reuse schemes, potential risks to human health posed by microplastics, recycled content in food packaging and resulting toxic chemical exposure, COVID-19 and packaging, as well as general information including which plastics are commonly used in packaging, relevant terminology and a summary of priority chemicals of concern.
The fact sheets also call for industry and policymakers to "put an end to single-use packaging" and consider taking a precautionary approach towards the intentional use of hazardous chemicals in packaging that can migrate into food and affect human health.

Land cover
"Indicates the physical land type such as forest or open water whereas land use documents how people are using the land. Land cover can be determined by analyzing satellite and aerial imagery. Land use cannot be determined from satellite imagery. Land cover maps provide information to help managers best understand the current landscape. To see change over time, land cover maps for several different years are needed. With this information, managers can evaluate past management decisions as well as gain insight into the possible effects of their current decisions before they are implemented." (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2019)

Monitoring River Delta Using Remote Sensing
Since ancient times, people have established communities in river deltas because it provides water, fertile land, and transportation access, making them an ideal place to live. This pattern has been carried forward to the present. With nearly 6 billion people living in river deltas, they are one of the most densely populated places on Earth (Kuenzer and Renaud, 2011). However, they are facing threats such as climate change, sea level rise, land use changes, and ecosystem degradation.
Monitoring runoff using Earth observation data
When rain falls on Earth, the water starts moving and flowing downhill through sewers and rivers as runoff. Runoff is extremely important to recharge surface water bodies and groundwater. Furthermore, runoff changes the landscape by action of erosion. It is an integral part of the water cycle (Earth Science Data Systems 2021).

Understanding Weight Normalized Deep Neural Networks with Rectified Linear Units
Bibtex »Metadata »Paper »Reviews »Supplemental »
Yixi Xu, Xiao Wang
This paper presents a general framework for norm-based capacity control for $L_{p,q}$ weight normalized deep neural networks. We establish the upper bound on the Rademacher complexities of this family. With an $L_{p,q}$ normalization where $q\le p^*$ and $1/p+1/p^{*}=1$, we discuss properties of a width-independent capacity control, which only depends on the depth by a square root term. We further analyze the approximation properties of $L_{p,q}$ weight normalized deep neural networks. In particular, for an $L_{1,\infty}$ weight normalized network, the approximation error can be controlled by the $L_1$ norm of the output layer, and the corresponding generalization error only depends on the architecture by the square root of the depth.

On TASM systems, the state matrix defines which state to use when a specific combination of planned environment and health condition exists. On IWM systems, the state matrix defines which state and operating rules will be used when a planned environment is in effect.
The default health condition, planned environment, and state give you the basic framework to allocate resources for workloads. However, you can create additional health conditions, planned environments, and states to fine-tune resource allocation.
 1. Edit or create a ruleset.
 2. From the ruleset toolbar, click States.
 The state matrix appears. For a new ruleset, the default state matrix consists of one cell.
 3. [Optional] If you are on a TASM system, do the following:
 1. Define additional health conditions.
 2. Define one or more unplanned events.
 An unplanned event is a system event, user-defined event, workload event, or a combination of these events.
 3. Drag an unplanned event to the appropriate health condition so the event triggers the health condition.
 4. [Optional] Define additional planned environments.
 5. [Optional] Define additional planned events.
 A planned event is a period event, user-defined event, or a combination of these events.
 6. [Optional] Drag a planned event to the appropriate planned environment so the event triggers the environment.
 7. [Optional] Define additional states.
 8. For each cell in the state matrix, drag and drop a state from the States list into the appropriate cell of the matrix.
 When the defined combination occurs, the state is triggered.
 9. Click Save.

Google yesterday announced that will stop sending contextual information on the bid requests, starting in February 2020. According to Google, this a result of engagement with the European data protection authorities, and the intent is to take an additional step to further guard user privacy.
Chetna Bindra, Senior Product Manager, User Trust, and Privacy, at Google, wrote that since GDPR, Google has already introduced measures to protect European users. Google requires publishers to obtain consent from users to serve personalized ads, Google applies data minimization practices to the scope of the data shared in RTB bid requests, including truncating device IP addresses and using only resettable user IDs.
What is the contextual information Google will stop sharing?
Content categories are descriptions of the type of content on a specific page, website or app. According to Google, these categories may indicate whether the content is about news or weather, and are intended to provide contextual information to advertisers about the site or app where the impression may appear.
Google was prohibiting advertisers from using the services to build user profiles around sensitive categories but there was always a risk that third-party services will do that. The processing of special category data without consent was one of the 9 concerns about RTB pointed out by the UK regulator.
Chetna Bindra also says that Google will soon update the EU User Consent Policy audit program for publishers and advertisers, as well the audits for the Authorized Buyers program.

Period" window does not have to be indicated in months. But it must necessarily match the dimension of the value in the "Monthly Profitability" window.
This example shows: the more often you reinvest, the higher your profit is by the end of the investment period. Without reinvestment, the profit in 3 months is 15 USD. With the reinvestment once a month, the profit is 15.76 USD. If you reinvest once a week, you will have a profit of 16.08 USD in three months.
Another drawback is that the interest compound calculator forex takes into account only the average withdrawal with a division into periods. For example, it is supposed to invest $100 for 12 months with a withdrawal of $ 50 after 6 months. There are 2 options:
In the 'Investment Period' window, you specify 12, in the 'Monthly Withdrawal' section, you enter (50/12) 4.17.
Divide the calculation period into 3 parts and calculate the profitability for each part separately: for 5 months without withdrawal, for 1 month in which there will be withdrawal, for the next 6 months without withdrawal. The initial deposit for each part of the period will be different.
The second financial calculation is more correct in mathematical terms. But if you are a beginner, you can get confused about the numbers.
- Conclusion. The Forex compound interest calculator is not universal, but it makes it easier and faster to calculate the expected profit than using Excel.
Importance of a forex compounding calculator
The Forex compounding calculator calculates interest earnings over the investment period, total profit including reinvestment, and the account balance at the end of the investment period including partial depositing or withdrawal of funds.
The forex compound calculator is also used to:
Calculate the initial deposit to trade Forex, which will allow you to reach the target profit after a particular time when you know the system profitability. For example, how much the initial deposit should be to earn $ 5000 in a year if you reinvest and your trading system yields 5% a month.
Compare the aggressiveness of several strategies when using different instruments. For example, which strategy suggests a faster increase in the deposit amount, trading the Martingale way or pyramiding, for instance.
Estimate the rate of deposit growth. For example, how much it will take you to double your deposit amount if you reinvest.
Clarify the differences in the Forex trading strategies with and without reinvestment. It defines how often you should reinvest the profit.
The forex compounding interest calculator is a tool to plan future money flows and identify profit targets; it is also the trading system performance indicator. Besides, it will facilitate your forex trading calculations.
Forex compounding calculator and trading strategies
The initial investment is 1000 USD. You are going to trade with an Expert Advisor based on the Martingale, which yields an average monthly profit of 25%. You know that it is a high-risk strategy; it could produce a loss in the investment period of twelve months.
What should you do? Should you reinvest the profit and withdraw all funds at the end of the investment period? Or should you withdraw a particular amount along with the reinvestment?
You analyze both variants:
Without reinvestment. You calculate the expected profit without reinvestment. 1000 * 0.25 * 12 = 3000. After 12 months, the balance will be $ 4,000.
With reinvestment. You calculate the balance amount with the Forex compound interest calculator. It will be 14,551.92 USD.
You understand that it is tempting to reinvest the profit since the deposit in the second case will increase by 14.5 times, in the first – only by 4. But the strategy can fail at any time. And the longer the EA works, the higher the risk of failure is.
Then you select the monthly withdrawal amount that will be comfortable for you. You can also calculate the right amount to withdraw using the Forex compounding interest calculator. For example, $200.
With this strategy, you will withdraw the initial deposit amount in 5 months, thereby reducing the risk for the remaining 7 months. And ultimately, after 12 months, you will earn the same amount on your account balance as you can with the strategy without withdrawing money and reinvesting.
- Conclusion. In terms of risk optimization and optimal profitability, the best strategy would be the "golden mean" – partial reinvestment with a monthly withdrawal of a part of the profit, for example, $200.
You have $ 100. According to the strategy tester, the average profitability of a conservative strategy for 5 years is 5% per month. The investment period is 1 year.
With reinvestment, you will gain $79.59, but all money will be blocked in the account for 1 year. Without reinvestment, you can withdraw $5 every month, profit for the year will be $60. Does it make sense to risk for $19.59?
In conservative strategies, it is better to follow the "bird in hand" rule. For small deposits and low-profitability strategies, reinvestment does not justify the risks.
Forex compounding calculator FAQs
This is the interest gained over a particular period relative to the deposit amount.Example 1 (without reinvestment). Deposit is $200. The profit is $15. The profit interest is 15/200 * 100% = 7.5%. When the profit remains the same, and you withdraw it regularly, the monthly gain will be $15. Example 2 (with profit reinvestment). You reinvest the profit gained in the previous investment period, that is, you add the profit to the deposit. If the percentage of profit remains the same, 7.5%, the trader's income in the second investment period will be (200 + 15) * 7.5% = $ 15.56, which is more than $15, as in the first case.
Yes. The trade amount depends on:
- The asset type and the exchange rate.
- Leverage and trade volume.
- Risk level, you choose.
Example. The EURUSD exchange rate is 1.20000. The minimum lot is 0.01. It means that I buy 1000 EUR for 1200 USD. I use the maximum leverage of 1:500. So, to buy 1000 euro, I need only 1200/500 = 2.4 USD.In theory, with a deposit of 100 USD, I can enter a trade of 0.4 lots (100,000 * 1.2 * 0.4 / 500 = 96 USD), but this would contradict the risk management rule that you shouldn't risk more than 5% of the deposit per trade. Since 5% of 100 USD is 5 USD, with a deposit of 100 USD, the optimal transaction volume is 0.02 lot or 4.8 USD.
When you calculate the maximum allowable trade volume, you should take into account the following input parameters:
- Deposit amount.
- Asset type and the current exchange rate.
- Maximum leverage.
- Acceptable risk level. The risk-management rules recommend you not open a position more than 5% of the deposit. The total risk for all positions should not exceed 15% of the deposit.
- Target profit. Aggressive traders could increase the risk level contrary to risk-management rules to accelerate the deposit faster and increase the profit.
You can study in detail how to calculate an optimal position volume in the article What is a lot size and how to calculate a lot in Forex.
You enter into LiteFinance investment compound interest calculator the following data:
- Amount of the initial deposit.
- Investment period – a fixed period over which the total profit is calculated.
- Expected profitability over the period, at the end of which you will reinvest. The dimension of the period should be the same as the dimension of the investment period. If the entire period is twelve months, you enter the profitability over one month. If the entire period is calculated in weeks or days, you specify the profitability over one week or one day, like a forex daily compound calculator.
- The expected amount of depositing or withdrawal. You enter the average value over each reinvestment period in the profit calculator forex.
Next, the forex compound calculator will display the total income, divided into the reinvestment periods.
This is a Forex investment strategy aiming at rapidly increasing the deposit, multiple increase in the account balance. One of the methods to increase the deposit is reinvestment. It allows you to make a profit from profits, thereby increasing your income exponentially. Sometimes the desire to quickly increase the deposit leads traders to ignore risk management rules. Therefore, to find a balance between compounding your forex account and risk, use the Forex compounding interest calculator.
- Reinvest the profit. Thereby, you will increase the initial deposit, which, in turn, will yield a greater return. The profit amount will grow not in arithmetic, but a geometric progression, and the forex interest calculator will instantly display it.
- Use deposit acceleration strategies like averaging, Martingale, pyramiding.
- Enter trades with the maximum leverage and maximum lot. Provided you are lucky and can professionally analyze the market; such a strategy can help you multiply the initial deposit quite rapidly. However, the risk-management rules strongly suggest not to do it.
- Algorithmic trading with EAs designed to quickly increase the deposit, for example, grid EAs.

Archaeologists discover slave artifacts where Ga. highway project will cross plantation siteBreaking News
tags: slavery, archaeology, Georgia
SAVANNAH, Georgia — A Mexican coin punctured with a small hole, nails from long-decayed wooden dwellings, and broken bits of plates and bottles are among thousands of artifacts unearthed from what archaeologists suspect were once slave quarters at the site of a planned highway project in Savannah.
A team hired to survey the site by the Georgia Department of Transportation spent three months excavating 20 acres of undeveloped woods tucked between a convenience store and apartments off busy Abercorn Extension on Savannah's suburban south side. Archaeologist Rita Elliott said the project yielded a staggering 33,858 artifacts believed to date from about 1750 until after the Civil War.
Historical records show that a wealthy Savannah attorney named William Miller owned a large plantation at the site and at one time had 87 slaves, Elliott said. Archaeologists didn't find the main plantation house but believe many of the artifacts they found are consistent with slave dwellings....

Do Carrots Really Love Tomatoes ?
Carrots Love Tomatoes was a blockbuster companion gardening book written in the 1970s by master gardener Louise Riotte.
Riotte validated what many old school gardeners and farmers knew all along, and introduced a generation of growers to the reality of companion planting.
She later published a sequel entitled Carrots love Tomatoes and Roses love garlic, although it was a worthy addition to the realm of organic gardening knowledge available to home gardeners, it never matched the sensational success of the original book.
The claim of the first books title 'Carrots Love Tomatoes' is worthy of investigation. Do Carrots really love tomatoes and if so do the Tomatoes love them back ?
Carrots and Tomatoes do love each other but it's only 'puppy love'. Inter-planting carrots and Tomatoes requires good timing. Carrots mature differently than tomatoes so your first harvest of Carrots should be when the Tomatoes are still seedlings.
Mature carrots and mature tomatoes sharing the same bed is not really all its cracked up to be. They compete for the same nutrients at pretty much the same time.
Tomatoes protect the carrots from insect predators, they secrete a natural insect deterrent called solanine which deters many insects that are harmful to carrots. However, the solanine and trace phytotoxins emitted by tomatoes can stunt the growth of carrots if planted too close.
Tomato plants, being much taller than the carrot, will shade the soil, carrots prefer cool soil. The carrot provides a living mulch that helps to retain soil moisture and suppresses weed growth which benefits the tomato plant.
Try no to plant the carrots so close to the tomato plant that harvesting the carrot root may damage the tomato plant roots Leave at least one foot of space between the carrots and the tomato plant base. Planting carrots early in the season is best. Once the tomatoes are in full swing they will shade and stunt the carrots progress. A second carrot crop towards the end of the season when the tomato plants are waning will also work.

ACCRC for running his Lincoln on aluminum soda cans.
They threw this rig together quickly to test the concept.
The concept works.
Here's how it works.
Soda cans are dumped into a tank of Lye (sodium hydroxide and water).
The sodium hydroxide peels off the aluminum oxide surface from the aluminum allowing water to come into contact with aluminum metal. The aluminum immediately oxidizes, ripping the water's oxygen atoms away to make aluminum oxide. That releases the hydrogen which bubbles out to be burned in the Lincoln's engine.
Here's the reaction: H2O + Al -> AlO2 + H2 + heat
Step 1: Lye tank and water bubbler
His left hand is on the hydrogen vent hose. The gas that bubbles out of it is hot and steamy and has a fair amount of powdery white aluminum oxide in it. So next it goes into a pipe to the bottom of the white bubbler tank, where it bubbles through water. That makes it cool and clean.
Just like in a hookah or bong.

A Roho cushion is an inflatable cushion for wheelchairs and beds that can make it more comfortable to be in a wheelchair or be bed bound for long periods of time.
For people who have limited mobility and are either wheelchair-bound or bed bound for a large portion of the day, finding a comfortable spot can be a challenge.
Moreover, staying in one position for long periods of time, such as lying on a bed, can increase the individual's chance for developing painful conditions like bed sores. This is, in a large part due to the flat, solid design of many wheelchair seats and beds.
That is where the Roho cushion comes in.
So, what is a Roho cushion?
A Roho cushion is similar to an inflatable mattress or seat cushion, as it uses air to provide a soft surface for the user. Unlike other forms of cushioning for beds seating, Roho cushions are specially made to provide a comfortable, varied surface for both seating and lying down positions, which in turn helps prevent bed sores from developing.
Check out some top rated Roho Cushions on Amazon
Table could not be displayed.
Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers, are formed when a portion of the skin spends prolonged periods of time resting on a single surface. Roho mattress pads are made to spread out this pressure over a wider, more flexible surface, reducing the impact of the pressure on the skin and allowing normal blood flow to reach the area.
Not only do Roho cushions make long periods of seating or lying down more comfortable but because they are inflatable, they are easily transported and carried around.
Roho cushions are especially useful due to their easy-to-clean surfaces and their high-quality air pressure systems.
Since Roho mattress cushions are specially made to fit over existing mattresses, they are lightweight and maintain their air pressure for much longer than traditional air mattresses do.
Roho cushions also come in other assistive forms, such as ankle brace cushions and toilet seat cushions, to provide additional comfort to those who need it.
For people with sensory-based ailments, such as fibromyalgia, having additional padding on everyday surfaces can help alleviate some of the symptoms presented by their illness, helping them stay more comfortable longer.
Roho cushions are specially made to adapt to the body's minute changes over various periods of time, relieving pressure on the areas where the skin comes into contact with a surface.
A Roho cushion can aid the long term health of the user by proper weight distribution. This helps in maintaining normal blood flow to the area affected, which can help prevent further injuries or discomfort in the long run.
While a wheelchair cushion or bed pad may seem like a small investment, for someone with limited mobility who spends a majority of their day in constant contact with the same surface, they can be a real blessing.
Roho cushions can help with both their physical well being, as well as their emotional health, as it can take away some of the discomfort of being in the same position for a long period of time.

How do Roho cushions work?
Studies show that functionality is one of the primary goals in mind when creating assistive devices like wheelchairs. At the same time, it is very important keep in mind the overall comfort of the person using these devices for long periods of time.
Things like mattress pads, wheelchair seat cushions, and comfortable hand and ankle braces may have a huge impact on the overall rehabilitation of an individual.
For many people, the comfort provided by the assistive comfort technology allows them to spend more time doing every day activities. This can be central in the rehabilitation process because it can help return a level of self-sufficiency and independence to their day to day lives.
Roho mattress pads provide patients added comfort of a mattress pad and the health benefits of normal blood circulation and prevention of bed sores.
This can have a marked impact on both the recovery time for patients who have been confined to bed rest for a long period of time, as well as an upward trend in the health of patients who are permanently bed bound.
Seat cushions are useful for people who find themselves spending a lot of time in the same spot. This can include someone who utilizes things like wheelchairs (you can read our review of lightweight transport wheelchairs here) and outdoor mobility scooters.
Seat cushions can be combined with things like portable commodes and shower chairs to provide additional comfort during day to day tasks. They can also be placed on a lift chair recliner for added comfort and blood flow throughout the day.
Roho seat cushions can also be easily transported and re-inflated on the go, allowing them to be kept with the individual throughout the day. This allows them to be used in a wider range of locations to help provide comfort while out and about.
Roho mattress pads are useful both for short-term healing processes, as well as for long-term treatment for individual patients. Roho mattress pads are most often used in cases of prolonged bed rest, where contact with an uninterrupted, solid surface can put the patient at risk for a wide range of skin irritations, including bed sores.
Roho mattress pads are used in hospitals and in-home care situations for patients of all levels of care.
For an individual who requires nightly kidney dialysis at home, for example, a Roho pad can help them be more comfortable during the process, and help ensure that the dialysis is able to clean more thoroughly due to the slightly increased blood circulation.
For patients who find themselves in bed for longer periods of time, a Roho cushion can help them feel less trapped, and make sure that their bed feels comfortable for extended periods of use.
Roho cushions can also be easily inflated or deflated to suit the needs of the user, making it more flexible than other mattress pads. Here is a YouTube video demonstrating the right way to set up a Roho cushion:

Who Can Benefit from Roho Cushions?
Roho cushions and mattress pads are useful for people who experience mild to severe discomfort while sitting or lying down on flat surfaces for extended periods of time on a daily basis. This can include people who suffer from sensory-based nerve conditions, such as fibromyalgia and severe arthritis.
Roho mattress pads are also extremely useful for people who are on bed rest after a recent surgery or for people recovering from injuries, such as fractures or spinal injuries. Most pregnant women who have been advised bed rest until the end of their term find Roho mattress pads especially comfortable.
Roho cushions can also help people who spend a large part of their day in a sedentary position such as in the workspace. Most people find them more comfortable for long-term use as compared to traditional seat cushions or coccyx cushions.
Roho cushions can also be used in living areas to make certain types of furniture more comfortable for people who may find themselves needing the extra layer of padding between themselves and the surface of the chair, such as people who cannot easily move from one location to the other unaided without a high risk of injury.
Roho mattress pads are also much easier to transport and install than most other mattress pads, making them perfect for use on road trips and in hotel rooms to provide added comfort.
Roho mattress pads can take some of the pressure off of sore or broken areas of skin, and allow that part of the skin to rest and give it the time it needs to heal up.

Conclusion – Roho Cushions
Overall, Roho cushions are meant to provide additional comfort to people confined to one position (either seated or lying down) for long periods of time.
Roho cushions are quite versatile in a variety of situations be it someone looking to take some of the pressure off of a sore hip after a long day of work or a patient who is in intensive recovery at the hospital.
With a durable design that is specially created to help reduce the pressure that is placed on the surface of the skin, as well as to encourage circulation, Roho mattress pads can help increase the speed of recovery in patients who have recently undergone surgery, as well as reduce the risk for skin sores and other long term bed rest related injuries.
For people who spend a large portion of their day in a wheelchair, Roho wheelchair cushions can provide a welcome rest to the base of the wheelchair seat, and can help return a level of freedom to individuals who suffer from mobility-related concerns.

Tell our own story through the Tree of Life—- an experiential reflective exercise.
By Jasmine, SSJD Companion.
 Since the last blog post that I wrote about the tree of life, some readers have asked how the tree of life imagery connects with our own storytelling. In this post, I am hoping to present a reflective exercise as part of answering this question. During the pandemic and uncertainties, it is also a good time to reflect and turn our true self to God. I would like to proceed step-by-step as follows.
You will need:
-Colour pencils
-an instrument/music listening devices (optional)
-a heart of openness
 The tree of life is a metaphor of your life in which the different elements on the tree represents your past, present and future. On a piece of paper, you will draw the image step-by-step, with the colours in your own choice, and by the end you will find your own story in your artwork. You might say "I am not an artist, I can't draw." Remember that the visual component is just for yourself to reflect on and express yourself in a creative way. There is no rush in finishing the work.
 Here we are, as we are, and we start from our roots.
1) Roots and Ground
Write down your background. Where are you from? Is there a culture or a community that deeply influenced you in your growth? Do you have a faith background? What are the values that your family of origin brings to you? What are some nutrients that helped you grow when you were a child? What does your ground look like? Is it sandy or hard or fertile? What helps to ground you?
2) Trunk
What are your values? How would you call yourself?
3) Branches
What are your skills and knowledge? What do you know the best?
4) Leaves and canopy
Who are the people you are connected to? How do you know them? How do they shape your canopy? Are there any fallen leaves? Who are the loved ones who have passed away?
5) Fruit, nuts and/or flowers
What are your dreams and hopes for yourself, loved ones, community, and the world? What are some legacies that your loved ones have brought to you?
6) Animals
Are there any animals dwelling or coming close by to your tree of life? Do you like the companions?
7) Storms
What are some events we are surviving or have survived? Are there any damages to your tree? How have you recovered from the storm? What do the animals do when the storm came? What do they do after the storm?
 When you have finished the drawing and reflection, you may find your own soundtrack to your tree of life. Do you think of a song? Or what kind of sound or tune will best describe your tree?
This exercise aims to help us become aware of our connections and meanings in our life. Finding out who we are can be an incredible source of strength when facing uncertainties. If there are any issues raised up during the process, please do not hesitate to reach out for professional help. I pray and wish you well during this season of staying home!
"He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers." (Psalm 1:3)

Terminology as a set of concept carriers crystallizes our special knowledge about a subject. Automatic term recognition (ATR) plays a critical role in the processing and management of various kinds of information, knowledge and documents, e.g., knowledge acquisition via text mining. Measuring termhood properly is one of the core issues involved in ATR. This article presents a novel approach to termhood measurement for mono-word terms via corpus comparison, which quantifies the termhood of a term candidate as its rank difference in a domain and a background corpus. Our ATR experiments to identify legal terms in Hong Kong (HK) legal texts with the British National Corpus (BNC) as background corpus provide evidence to confirm the validity and effectiveness of this approach. Without any prior knowledge and ad hoc heuristics, it achieves a precision of 97.0% on the top 1000 candidates and a precision of 96.1% on the top 10% candidates that are most highly ranked by the termhood measure, illustrating a state-of-the-art performance on mono-word ATR in the field.

Mathematica Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Mathematica. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I would like to calculate a system of two differential equations in Mathematica using DSolve, like:
fx''[x] + a*fx[x] == -I*eta*fy''[x] - b*fy[x], ...
where fx[x] and fy[x] are unknown functions. Using DSolve I can easily find some solutions of the type fx[x] = C[1]*cosh[x/L] + C[2]*a*sinh[x/L], where L is a term of the dimension of x.
The problem is, that the parameters a and b in my equations have physical dimension (e.g. meter). From the analysis of the solution the two terms in the result have different physical dimension, which is nonsensical. Another option is that Mathematica rescaled C[1] so that finally it has dimension of a*C[2].
My question is: Can I somehow control the physical dimensions of the parameters (a,b) in the differential equations or the constants C[1], C[2] in the result?

You input appears to have the same issue. If x and a have dimensions of length then f''[x] has dimensions of length^2*f[x] whereas a*f[x] is only length*f[x]. – Daniel Lichtblau Feb 20 '12 at 23:32
@DanielLichtblau: If x has the dimension of length, f''[x] of course has the dimension (dimension of f[x])/length^2. For the equations to be dimensionally correct, a must have the dimension 1/length^2, and b must have the dimension dim(eta)/length^2. – celtschk Feb 21 '12 at 9:32

It is generally better to work in dimensionless units to start with. In your case, your a and b have units of $L^{-2}$, while eta is dimensionless. Taking fx''[x] + a*fx[x] == -I*eta*fy''[x] - b*fy[x] as an example, you could use $\xi=x/L$, $\alpha=a L^2$, $\beta=b L^2$ (all of which are now dimensionless), whereupon your differential equation becomes $L^{-2}\left(\partial_{\xi,\xi}F_x(\xi)+\alpha F_x(\xi)+i\eta \partial_{\xi,\xi}F_y(\xi)+\beta F_y(\xi)\right)=0$, where I have set $F_x(\xi)=f_x(x)$ and similarly for $y$. Solving the equation in the brackets is what you really should do; no problems like you mention above can now arise.
To summarise, one should almost always switch to dimensionless units before numerically solving a problem.

Why Soapstone Griddles Are So Effective
soapstone griddlesSparq's founders LOVE to grill, and you can imagine our dismay when discovered that grilling over an open flame carries HUGE risks of cancer. There is staggering research that finds; Grilling meat directly over an open flame can increase your risk of CANCER by 50% – 70%. We love grilling too much AND our health too much to accept this type of risk. Enter Soapstone Griddle, over the last 3 years we did our homework and came up with a product that would afford us the best of both worlds, our health, and our grill.
Did you know the lifestyle factors of diet and tobacco-use together account for approximately 70% of all human cancer, with diet by itself accounting for 35%-45% of human cancer (Goodherham et al., 1996)? In other words, approximately 80,000 per one million people are estimated to get cancer from diet-related causes.
Points we found in our research to reduce the risk of cancer from grilled foods;
 1. The American Cancer Society recommends avoiding fat dripping onto the hot coals or open flame which causes smoke and flare-ups that can contain carcinogens.
 2. The National Cancer Institute recommends avoiding direct exposure of meat to an open flame or a hot metal surface which causes charring and carcinogen mutation.
 3. The NCI also recommends avoiding prolonged cooking of meat at high temperatures (over 300ºF).
 4. Research published by MSNBC and other science journals recommend using a homemade marinade (avoid thick commercially available marinades).
Features we built into our Soapstone Griddle;
 1. Using the best griddle will remove your meat from an open flame or a hot metal surface (As recommended by the National Cancer Institute).
 2. Using our Soapstone Griddle will prevent flare-ups from dripping fat (As recommended by the American Cancer Society).
 3. Soapstone's temperature qualities allow you to cook at lower temperatures and achieve the same results in the same amount of time (As recommended by the National Cancer Institute).
 4. Our Soapstone Griddle's groove design will naturally self-baste creating a moist, organic marinade while melting away unwanted fat (As recommended by science journals and reported by major news outlets).

Why Soapstone Griddle?
Soapstone Griddles are carved out of the finest soapstone that the earth has to offer. For centuries soapstone has been used for its ability to retain and radiate heat for long periods of time. Native Americans used it for cooking slabs, pipes, and bowls.
To this day it is the material of choice for wood burning stoves and masonry heaters. Brazilians use soapstone cookware for all their culinary needs. In the United States, it is mostly used for countertops in high-end homes, as well as in laboratories. Soapstone is nonporous and is ideal for use around food because it will not harbor bacteria, stain and it will not rust.

Give Your Grill an Upgrade
Whatever grill you might have, a Soapstone Griddle will make it better, period. Find out what many cultures have known for centuries, that soapstone is one of Mother Nature's greatest cooking tools. It will change the way you grill.
By using soapstone's ability to heat evenly and consistently, you can turn any ordinary grilling experience into a phenomenal one. Our Soapstone Griddles are specially designed to harness soapstone's unique cooking capabilities. Soapstone does not have any sort of taste and will, therefore, not add any unwanted flavors to meats or vegetables. It is also non-porous, which makes it ideal for use around food, as it is resistant to harboring bacteria.
*** The stone protects your food against hot spots and flare-ups, while still allowing that smoky BBQ flavor to access your food. It also reduces cancer-causing carcinogens produced in a normal grilling environment.
Special and Effective Soapstone Design
The ridges on the stone raise the meat slightly above the cooking surface and allow it to brown by preventing escaping juices from contacting the meat. They also leave grill marks, which is the signature of any well-cooked steak.
The troughs are designed to collect the juicy drippings so that they may be recycled into a moist and flavorful environment that will continually baste your meat in its own juices while melting away any unwanted fats. Our slabs have been fire tested to 1200°F so you can sear a steak at exceptional temperatures, or cook ribs low and slow until the meat falls off the bone. We have no doubt that you will soon feel like we do and even a good steak house will lose its appeal.
Your Soapstone Griddle was also designed for use in direct conjunction with pellet grills. The ability of the soapstone to store and radiate heat will enable the pellet cooker to maintain a constant temperature in varying conditions, thus reducing the number of pellets that need to be burned to maintain the desired temperature.
Better yet, it keeps the heat right next to the food, which is where it is needed. The soapstone will enable the grill to return to the desired temperature much quicker if the lid has to be opened and will cut down on heat loss. This is not only a savings of our natural resources and environment, but it is also a considerable saving passed on to you, the consumer.
It also serves as a heat deflector in pellet grills, charcoal grills, and gas grills. By placing the Grill Slab directly over the flame it will absorb the heat and radiate it evenly throughout the grill thus eliminating hot and cold spots. It will also keep the direct flame from drying out the meat. The end result is juicier, tender meat that is evenly cooked.
You can also turn it over and use the flat surface to cook fish or vegetables. By placing it upside down over a range stove you can use it as a griddle. The possibilities become endless when you start thinking about it. So give your imagination the Sparq that it needs. Your taste buds will thank you.

Literacy in Oman
The importance that Oman places on education is reflected by the fact that well over a quarter of the civil expenditure of the state budget is spent on the education system, though this has not always been the case. Until 1970, there were only three public schools in the country, and most other schools were Koran-based schools primarily aimed at teaching religious values. The public schools were elementary boys' schools, located in Muscat, Mutrah and Salalah. Throughout the entire country, 909 students were taught by about 30 teachers. It was not until subsequent years that a school system free of charge was introduced and became accessible to the people of Oman. This system stands out for its quality in the Arab world. However, the previous generations that did not benefit from a good school system were not forgotten in shaping current education policy.
Illiteracy – a problem of the older generation
Naturally, as the education system in Oman grew, so did the gap in education between young and old people. To address this, Sultan Qaboos established a strong adult education system in parallel to the ever-improving public education system. There are now approximately 250 adult education centers and over 180 literacy centers open to every adult citizen of Oman. Anyone who wishes to do so will be instructed in Arabic reading and writing as well as various other educational courses.
Literacy – Progress in all parts of the country
While urban populations have been quickly and effectively integrated into the education system in recent decades, the process in more rural areas have tended to be slower. Since Oman is a vast country that is sparsely populated in some areas, creating educational opportunities is often not simple in more rural areas of the country. Now more than ever, it is possible to access remote regions and promote literacy in the deserts and smaller villages and towns on oases or desert outskirts. Particularly older women are extensively using the opportunities of adult education in the country with great enthusiasm because, in the past, they had little access to education in reading and writing.
