From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
"There are more bulk freighters here than fleas on a bantha, Threepio!"
Luke Skywalker
Super Star Destroyer Executor under construction at the Fondor Shipyards.
The Fondor Shipyards were huge starship construction facilities located in orbit of the planet Fondor, in the Fondor system. Numerous capital ships and freighters were in construction here almost all the time.[1]
Galactic Civil War
Rebel Alliance ships undergo maintenance at the Yards shortly after the Battle of Endor.
The shipyards were seized by the Galactic Empire shortly after the Battle of Yavin, and used to construct Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer, the Executor.[1]
The Rebel Alliance also made an attack against the orbital shipyards in year 3 ABY, which ended in the destruction of a prototype Super Star Destroyer that was equipped with cloaking devices.[2]
After the Battle of Endor, the shipyards were renamed to the Fondor Independent Shipyards and were used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. A brief supply problem was solved after Han Solo escorted the two Venerated Ones to their home planet of Vandelhelm.[3]
Yuuzhan Vong war
Warships on both sides are destroyed by Centerpoint Station during the First Battle of Fondor during the Yuuzhan Vong War.
Fondor was the location of a crucial battle against the Yuuzhan Vong. Having been deceived by the Vong, the New Republic was caught fatally off guard by the attack at Fondor. Many Republic vessels were lost, most vaporized by an overly hasty firing of Centerpoint Station. Orbital Shipyard 1321, one of the orbiting shipyards, was rammed by several Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers during the battle, and destroyed.[4]
Although the shipyards were largely in ruins, they continued to operate throughout the war. General Garm Bel Iblis later took up station at Fondor after the fall of Coruscant.
Second Galactic Civil War
As of 40 ABY, Fondor had allied with, and was producing ships for, the Confederation, and was soon targeted by Joint Chief of State Jacen Solo. However, the attempt to take the planet, including the yards and other assets, intact, failed, causing Solo to order the bombing of Oridin, a major Fondorian city, with the result being a split in the GA, but a more unified Fondor. During the battle, one of the docks repelled a GA boarding party. Others sustained heavy fire from Imperial and Galactic Alliance ships. It was revealed that the Fondorians had hidden large numbers of ships in the docks by making it appear that the ships were under construction.

text: ISOTECH ISS-are intended to limit 1g lateral force and vertical equipment motion when placed at the base of vibration-isolated equipment and when also securely anchored to the building structure. Seismic snubbers are designed for use in locations that are subject to earthquakes, high winds, or other extreme external forces which may cause displacement of supported equipment. Made of heavy-duty steel, rubber and powder coated to provide maximum corrosion resistance. The snubbers remain out of contact during normal equipment / building operation in order that equipment vibration will not be transmitted into the building. Many applications may require only a pair of snubbers since these restraints are capable of withstanding forces in multiple directions, quantity required will be based on equipment needs. Seismic load calculation must be performed to ensure proper selection of product.

"Today, scanners that read documents use a red laser light," Wong says. "When the red laser light scans the document, it turns the entire document red. Thus, a signature written in red ink seems to disappear. In many cases, you'll find that black ink is more likely to be used when submitting applications, official documents, and other business documents. Government documents, such as a passport application, also require the use of black ink. In some countries, they are so strict about these guidelines that they will completely reject any government correspondence classified in the wrong color. That's right. Final documents must always be signed in blue ink. Thank you for explaining the blue ink for signatures on the final documents. They should have talked about wills and powers of attorney. The color of the ink you use isn't the only potential legal pitfall signatures can bring. Let's say your spouse is out of town and you want to deposit an expense check or discount for your partner.
You could be in legal trouble. Some legal documents and financial records may require blue ink. This includes documents such as credit card applications. This is because the use of black (or any other color) can trigger indicators for fraudulent cheques or credit card applications, as they cannot tell if they are original documents versus a photocopy. However, avoid colors other than black or blue, as lighter ink colors may be washed out when copying. Some government agencies require black ink, while others require blue ink. Some reasons are: black ink, which is compatible with older scanning technology. or. Blue ink is more different from black text.
Be sure to follow the instructions on government, commercial, or financial forms for the required ink color. Without specific instructions, the choice is yours. Beware of specific pen requirements in the instructions at the top of each form you can fill out. Using the wrong color can lead to a number of issues if your form is rejected or fraudulent activity is triggered. You never want to use a pencil for important documents, as it can be erased and tampered with. Even if you're legally married and have a joint bank account, it's illegal to confirm your spouse's name on the back of a check, says Charles R. Gallagher III, an attorney at Gallagher & Associates in St. Petersburg. Petersburg, Florida.
Technically, signing someone else's name is cheating. And that could result in the cheque being denied for payment and even your arrest if your spouse were to lay charges. It is best to use blue or black ink for signatures. Avoid colors such as red, purple, and green. Blue ink signatures are easier to distinguish on papers filled with a lot of black printing. The securities company and lender will want to quickly verify the exact signatures of more than 100 pages of documents before the transaction is completed. The blue ink stands out in a sea of black ink. Plus, it's dark enough to read and appear on a copy. "Blue ink is preferred because when black ink is used, someone at the bank or credit card company may not be able to tell if they are looking at a photocopy of a signature or a signature originally inked," says Wong. CDE, a court-certified and court-qualified forensic expert. "It is easier to assume that the document is 'original' if it is signed in blue ink." And with the sophistication of today's technology, it's entirely reasonable that a copy could be mistaken for an original. It is not difficult to imagine the various documents that could be changed for shameful purposes.
These documents can include wills, contracts, deeds, promissory notes and many others. You shouldn't just use the first pen you find when it comes to signing professional or legal documents. It's important that you consider professional colors when filling out business forms. You don't want to use red, purple or green. To be sure, it is best to use blue or black ink. But determining which color is acceptable doesn't have to be difficult. "We encourage signatories to our documents to use blue ink because it contrasts with our applications, which is especially beneficial if identification issues arise in the future," says Angleton. The investment company and the lender will want to quickly review the more than 100 pages of documents to obtain accurate signatures before closing the transaction. The blue ink stands out in a sea of black ink. Plus, it's dark enough to read and appear on a copy.
Blue ink is also valuable when it comes to learning and other creative goals. Blue ink (and colors other than black) help improve memory response and have positive effects on the brain. They also help keep the creative juice flowing. However, the pen is more powerful than the sword. (Ask anyone who regrets signing their timeshare agreement.) So what color of ink is officially legal? All colors work. As soon as someone puts his name on paper, he wants the words above his signature to become an indisputable law. For this reason, legal documents have strict rules designed to avoid loopholes, subsequent negotiations, and future litigation. In most cases, for example, legal documents must be signed with a pen. The use of other writing tools is rare: you don't want to sign a legally binding document in pencil – although a signature with a pencil is still legally binding, despite what you might have suspected. You could sign with a pencil, and the document would still be legitimate.
However, most people know that it is not recommended because common sense dictates the use of permanent ink. Pencil marks can be removed and the validity of the document questioned. Blue ink is also valuable when it comes to learning and other creative goals. Blue ink (and colors other than black) help improve memory response and have positive effects on the brain. They also help to make creative juice flow.

Three ways to use text blocks in App Cloud
With App Cloud text blocks, you can store arbitrary blocks of text in the cloud and retrieve them for any purpose you desire. Now you can bypass your CMS (and your IT department!) when you need to manage certain types of lightweight data in your apps.
To create a text block, go to the Content section of App Cloud Studio, then click "New Content Source", then click "Text Content":
Then enter a name and some text. That's it! Whenever you want to change the text, just click "Edit" and App Cloud will save a new version. (You can revert to an old version at any time.)
At the code layer, you can request a text block with bc.core.getData(), just like a content feed:
bc.core.getData("my-text", function (data) {
 var myText = data.text;
 // do stuff
});
Here are three ways to use text blocks inside your app:

1. HTML text
Use a text block as a flexible messaging area:
Then insert the text into DOM using jQuery or the method of your choice:
bc.core.getData("welcome-message", function (data) {
 $("#welcome-message").html(data.text);
});

2. JSON text
Use a text block to store structured data in JSON format:
When you load the text, make sure to parse it using JSON.parse():
bc.core.getData("produce", function (data) {
 var produce = JSON.parse(data.text);
 ...
});

3. CSV text
Store a table of information as CSV:
After you load the data, split the lines, then split each line on the comma characters:
bc.core.getData("directory", function (data) {
 var people = [];
 var rows = data.text.trim().split("\n");
 for (var i in rows) {
 var row = rows[i].split(",");
 people.push({
 "firstName": row[0],
 "lastName": row[1],
 "phone": row[2],
 "title": row[3],
 "email": row[4]
 });
 }
});
These are just a few ways to use text blocks. As you can see, you can save any kind of text format you want—it's flexible by design!

Image Processing with Pulse Coupled Neural Networks
M. P. Schamschula, R. Inguva, and J. L. Johnson
The Second International Forum on Multimedia and Image Processing,
World Automation Congress 2000, Wailea, Maui, HI (2000)
The Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) differs from conventional Artificial Neural Networks by having time dependent output and not requiring training (supervised or unsupervised). The basic PCNN algorithm consists of five coupled equations, one of which is non-linear. In an image processing application, the PCNN output takes the form of a series of pulses that are a function of the input intensity. The brighter the pixel, the more frequently it pulses. Two of the PCNN functions interconnect with neighboring cells, in one case with a constant weight in the other with various convolution kernels. By adjusting these interconnection weights (choosing an appropriate kernel), PCNNs can be used for a number of image processing functions. For example we may use the PCNN to resample an image into a smaller intensity lookup table (intensity compression) or use it to filter out intensity dependent high spatial frequency noise. The pulse train for a given image repeats over time, however, the time a pulse is triggered at each pixel changes. We can perform statistical analysis on a series of pulse trains. A statistical average of these pulse trains can be used to reconstruct a cleaned up image. This average image also represents a 3D icon of the image. Other examples from current research will be given.


Teaching indigenous languages with AR
3 minutes
March 26, 2021
This week, you can read in Avvír about how and why Ludenso Create will be made available in 3 Sámi languages by 2022. Together with forward-thinking Sámi teachers, we hope to contribute to the preservation of the indigenous languages in Scandinavia.
The indigenous Sámi people from Scandinavia naturally feel proud of their culture. Unfortunately, lots of young students with Sámi backgrounds do not know the language of their parents and grandparents. The Scandinavian schools offer education and values which are usually far from the Sámi culture, making it difficult to access modern tools to motivate these students to learn their native language. That is why we at Ludenso are proud to share that we will make Ludenso Create available in 3 Sámi languages by next year.
Why is it important to make new technology available in indigenous languages in school?
Language is our main form of interaction with others, as our words help preserve stories, information, traditions, and identity. The indigenous languages represent the legacy of grandmothers and grandfathers. Should an indigenous language disappear, the indigenous traditional knowledge such as legends, stories, songs, and myths also disappear.
Photo: "Norwegian Sami People" by Karin Beate Nøsterud
Today, indigenous languages are threatened by the constant growth and assimilation of globalization. This is despite the UN's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which states that learning an indigenous language is a human right.
How can we contribute to the preservation of the Sámi languages?
At Ludenso, we work to enable all children to become digital creators. This means that regardless of your background, ethnicity, or language, you should be able to free your imagination with the AR technology we are developing.
In collaboration with the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training, we have therefore set out to translate our AR program, Ludenso Create, as well as pedagogical content and guidelines into how to use the technology in the three Sámi languages. This includes Lule Sámi, Northern Sámi, and Southern Sámi. But pure translation is not all. We also want to help preserve the Sámi perspectives, values, history, and culture. To achieve this we will collaborate closely with Sámi teachers, who will share their pedagogical and cultural perspectives on how to phrase tasks for the students.
Photo: "Sami Man" by blueorangestudio
This year, we are creating a teacher portal, where teachers can share their pedagogical tasks through a form, and easily access and share these tasks with students and colleagues. The teachers will also be able to find the pedagogical tasks created by others. This way, the Sámi teachers can help inspire other Sámi teachers. A bonus is that this enables teachers from other countries to seek inspiration from these tasks to teach their students about the indigenous cultures we are so fortunate to have in Scandinavia.
Are you a Sámi teacher, and would like to take part in the work to enable all children to be digital creators? Please send us an email to _EMAIL_, and we would love to collaborate.

text: Abstract The propagation of virus infection fronts has been typically modeled using a set of classical (noncohabitation) reaction–diffusion equations for interacting species. However, for some single-species systems it has been recently shown that noncohabitation reaction–diffusion equations may lead to unrealistic descriptions. We argue that previous virus infection models also have this limitation, because they assume that a virion can simultaneously reproduce inside a cell and diffuse away from it. For this reason, we build a several-species cohabitation model that does not have this limitation. Furthermore, we perform a sensitivity analysis for the most relevant parameters of the model, and we compare the predicted infection speed with observed data for two different strains of the T7 virus.

Snapshot history files
If sufficient memory is not available for run-time accumulation of time-averaged history files or if the user simply needs an instantaneous view of the ocean state, snapshot history files can be written at regular intervals. The interval must be short enough that whatever time-averaging interval may be desired in the future, there will be three or more samples (snapshots) per averaging-interval. For monthly averages, snapshots should be collected at intervals of 10 days or less. Only one time-level of the prognostic variables and selected diagnostic variables needs to be saved, since second-moments and correlations can be computed later from these snapshot files, at the cost of retrieving a potentially large number of snapshot files. To choose which fields are written to the history files, a history contents file must be supplied with a list of fields desired. A sample file is included which contains all the currently available fields; the user may edit this file to select the desired fields. If a field is not currently included in the list of available fields, the user must modify the source code to make that field available (see the Reference Manual).

A NEW Monash University study aims to tackle rural obesity in young women.Monash University women's health researcher Cate Lombard is leading the study, which is set to focus on preventing weight gain rather than treating obesity.
The large-scale research is targeting 900 women aged between 18 and 50 living in 42 small rural communities across Victoria.
And will focus on participants changing their lifestyle and developing a low-cost program that helps women avoid putting on weight.
It's estimated 60 per cent of Australian women are overweight and those in their 20s and 30s are gaining weight faster than other age groups.
"They are often unaware that their yearly weight gain is having a major impact on their health," Dr Lombard said.
"Young women living in rural communities may be at an even higher risk."
Participants will attend a healthy lifestyle information session held locally and report on progress in two years.
Those interested in participating can email _EMAIL_.

Materials needed
-electrical tape
-a magnet
-Copper wire
-2 electrical wires
-A light bulb
-Something to wrap the copper wire around ( a weight).
-Scissors
- A wooden rod
- A shoelace (optional).
Step 1: Wrapping the Copper Wire
Take your copper wire and wrap it around something ( I used a weight). Once wrapped take off of object and using electrical tape secure around sides so it does not become uncoiled.
Step 2: Attaching the Electrical Wires to the Copper Wire
Take one of the two electrical wires and using the electrical tape attach to the side of the coiled copper wire, do the same thing with the other wire. Make sure the wires are secure.
Step 3: Making the Magnet Holder
Take your wooden rod and tape the magnet to the end. Or use a circular magnet (as shown in picture two) and tie it to a shoelace.
Step 4: Connecting to the Light Bulb
Take one of the two wires that is attached to the copper coil and attach it to the metal side of the light bulb. Take the other wire and attach to the little bulge on the bottom of the light bulb.
Step 5: Making the Light
This is the trickiest step, don't get mad if it doesn't work right away. Take the wooden rod with the magnet on it and put inside the copper coil without it touching the sides and spin the rod until the light starts to shine, this will take a while so just keep tweaking it until it starts to work. You can also twist the shoelace and do the same thing with it. The rod or shoelace can later be attached to a windmill to be powered by the wind. Good luck.

How much voltage does this experiment produce, and what kind of magnet is that? can you please tell it in a specific way so that I can buy those items specifically without any errors... Please... Reply Immediately, I will yous this experiment for my Science Investigatory Project, and I will assure you that you will become part of my acknowledgement...

what kind of magnet is it???
is it a normal Neodymium magnet or is it a diametrically magnetised Magnet???
how bright the light glow?any pics.
An AC bulb? Oh God! Impossible!
yes part of tweaking it includes getting a new bulb is part of it. I only used this bulb because it was easier to show people on.

Inverting Package Dependencies
Dependency inversion is an important concept to understand and apply to the code you write, as it neatly handles the coupling in your code, making it easier to grow and maintain. I think many people have at least seen some form of dependency inversion, usually something like the following, where there is a domain class, ClaimsProcessor, that is injected with an interface for a repository:
public class ClaimsProcessor
{
public void ClaimsProcessor(ClaimsRepository claimsRepository)
{
this.claimsRepository = claimsRepository;
}
private ClaimsRepository claimsRepository;
...
}
public interface ClaimsRepository
{
...
}
public class HibernateClaimsRepository implements ClaimsRepository
{
...
}
However, there's another form of dependency inversion that is often overlooked. Part of the reason for it being overlooked is that it's not the most intuitive; it took me a re-reading of Martin's article on the principle to get it. But once I understood it, I wanted to kick myself for all the times I didn't apply it.
Going back to the example above, where is this interface located? In Java parlance, what package is the interface in? Let's say you have two packages, a domain package and a data access package. The domain package contains the ClaimsProcessor class, and the data access package definitely contains the implementation of the interface, the HibernateClaimsRepository class. But in what package should the ClaimsRepository interface be?
image1
It seems natural to place the interface in the data access package, as that's the one where the implementation of the interface resides. This placement, though, is undesirable, as the domain package will then have to import the interface from the data access package. Thus the domain package depends on the data access package, the consequence of which is that changes to the data access package will result in changes to the domain package.
image2
This is wrong. Just because the ClaimsProcessor class uses the ClaimsRepository interface doesn't mean it should have to change because the underlying implementation of the repository changed. It should only have to change if the interface itself changes - meaning how the repository is expected to function has changed, not just implementation details. With this in mind, we should place the repository interface in the domain package, inverting the dependency relationship so that the data access package now has to import the interface in the domain package. This makes the data access package rely on the domain package, allowing the domain package to be isolated from implementation changes to the data access package.
image3
With the repository interface in the domain layer, the domain is basically offering a contract stating that it needs some data in a particular way; anything that can fulfill this contract, regardless of how it does so, can be used by the domain. The domain can change the terms of the contract (by modifying the interface), and anything trying to fulfill the contract will have to make changes to accommodate the new terms. With our dependencies set this way, we could in theory swap out our entire data access layer without impacting our domain layer. This isn't possible when the interfaces are in the data access package.
So is this really a big deal? In reality, wouldn't the domain and infrastructure packages most likely both change during a release anyway? Perhaps, but with the structure suggested above, they aren't required to. This, for one, can help limit the scope of testing, as you can focus your efforts on the packages that have changed. It could also allow your deployments to be more granular, offering flexibility in how you release things. I can't think of any downside to structuring your code this way, and the effort to do so is minimal. So start inverting today!

Pallet sorting automation based on shuttle and flow rack systems
Our client is among the top 5 largest meat processing companies in Ukraine. A wide range of quality meat delicacies, numbering more than 250 varieties of products, and constantly growing demand for meat products, prompts the company to improve and automate storage processes in order to provide consumers with quality products in a timely manner.
The logistics of a meat processing plant face many challenges: From non-standard premises to GDP standards, from peculiarities in packaging, weight and pallet type to demanding distribution and retail chains with strict delivery deadlines. Consequently, the supply chain from the production line to the shipping area must be as fast and error-free as possible.
In order to solve this task together with the customer, the KAPELOU team developed an automated warehouse conveyor system based on shuttles, a driven roller conveyor, pallet flow system and a vertical elevator designed for vertical pallet handling and sorting in the conveyor system.
This combination proved to be the most efficient and effective process: an increase in productivity in handling and sorting as well as a 2.7-fold increase in pallet quantity in the same storage area. Since the human factor is not involved in the decision-making process when sorting the pallets, the error rate tends towards zero. Furthermore, the processing of returns is automated so that the logistical flows in the warehouse do not cross.
The conveyor system used in this project is suitable for automating individual sections and the entire warehouse. Furthermore, it consists of individual modules, so that it can be easily adapted to the warehouse operation and scaled as the company grows. The conveyor system connects the different storage areas with each other and ensures a fast transfer of goods between the storage levels. For example, the conveyor system facilitates the organisation of goods sortation, which was one of the main goals of this project.
The KAPELOU driven roller conveyor was used for the automatic transportation of pallets. By using only those areas with pallets, the conveyor system is energy-efficient. A sturdy pallet conveyor with a speed of 0.2m/s lifts pallets weighing up to 900 kg vertically.
Pallets are sorted into 68 directions by two shuttles. At a speed of 1 m/s, the shuttle system transports the pallet to the appropriate two-level gravity channel. Unloading takes place at an angle equal to the angle of inclination of the gravity pallet storage conveyor.
Safety comes first
The safety of the employees is the top priority. Mechanical and electrical protection systems: noise protection, transport safety, emergency stop of the vertical conveyor, warning light system and display – the automation system fulfills the technical requirements and recognised rules of safety in the warehouse.
The automated pallet sorting system consists of:
- Driven pallet conveyor;
- Shuttle conveyor system;
- Pallet flow system;
- Vertical pallet conveyor;
- Safety system;
- Control system;
- Integration of equipment with WMS (warehouse management system).
Results of automation
The proposed solution for transporting and sorting pallets in the warehouse with an automated shuttle-based conveyor system has given the customer the following advantages:
- Thanks to a complete solution from KAPELOU, pallet transportation and sorting in production is fully automated.
- Storage efficiency in the forwarding area, i.e. the number of pallets that can be in the area at the same time, has been increased from 126 to 340 pallets.
- The number of staff in the warehouse has been reduced by 2.3 times.
- The number of errors was reduced to almost zero, because a person is not involved in the decision-making process when sorting pallets.
- There has been a 3.8-fold increase in the number of routes by which pallets can be accumulated in the forwarding area in advance – from 18 to 69.
- Full warehouse automation and separation of shipment and return transport processes has been ensured.
- The speed of loading the vehicle has been increased to 90 pallets per hour. The system thus makes it possible to store the end products in the forwarding area sorted by direction over a long period of time and to make shipping as productive as possible during peak times.
- The automated sorting system operates 24/7.
- Guaranteed payback period of the sorting system is about 4 years.
Comparison of automatic sorting process with manual sorting
Here you can see a comparison between an automated and a manual sorting system for a warehouse. The automated system is based on the shuttle system described above. The manual sorting of pallets was used before automation and was done with the help of forklifts and loading by a hydraulic trolley:
As a result, the conveyor system transports almost 2.7 times as many pallets on the same floor space. To achieve the same number of pallets in the manual version as with the automated system, the conveyor area has to be increased by 465 m2 or 270 %.
Unloading the pallets from the accumulator and loading the truck now takes only 80 seconds instead of 150. The number of sorting directions has increased from 18 to 69, almost quadrupling. At the same time, the number of staff has decreased and the monthly costs have halved.
In summary, we have increased the speed of loading the trolley with pallets to 90 p/hour. In this way, the system makes it possible to store the final products in the shipping area sorted by direction for a long period of time and to make shipping as productive as possible during peak hours. In this way, the speed and continuity of the production process and the customers' need for delivery can be balanced almost simultaneously, reducing labour costs and shortening product delivery times to the end customer.
Given the uncertain situation and limited resources, it is even more important to find and implement the most efficient solution for your warehouse. This is the main advantage of working with KAPELOU – developing solutions based on 9 years of experience in implementing automation systems in warehouses, thorough analysis of business processes, know-how of modern intralogistics technologies and manufacturing high-quality equipment.

Gay messages built into school maths lessons for children as young as FOUR
Controversial: Children will be taught about gay issues in maths, English, science and geography lessons (picture posed by models)
Young children are to be taught about homosexuality in their maths, geography, science and English lessons, it has emerged.
As part of a Government-backed drive to 'celebrate the gay community', maths problems could be introduced that involve gay characters.
In geography classes, students will be asked why homosexuals move from the countryside to cities – and words such as 'outing' and 'pride', will be used in language classes.
The lesson plans are designed to raise awareness about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual issues and, in theory, could be used for children as young as four.
They will also mean youngsters are exposed to images of same-sex couples and books such as And Tango Makes Three, which tells the story of two male penguins raising a chick, which was inspired by events at New York's Central Park Zoo.
Meanwhile, statistics students may use census data on the number of homosexuals in England.
However critics warn that the drive is an unnecessary use of resources and distracts attention from learning, as British schools tumble down international league tables in maths, English and science. Although the lesson plans are not compulsory, they are backed by the Department for Education and will be available for schools to download from the Schools Out website.
Sue Sanders, from Schools Out, said: 'All we are attempting to do is remind teachers that LGBT people are part of the population and you can include them in most of your lessons when you are thinking inclusively.'
David Watkins, a teacher who is involved in the scheme, said: 'When you have a maths problem, why does it have to involve a straight family or a boyfriend and girlfriend? Why not two boys or two girls?
'It's not about teaching about gay sex, it is about exposing children to the idea that there are other types of people out there,' he added.
However, Craig Whittaker, who is a Conservative MP and a member of the education select committee, said: 'We are too far down the national comparative league tables in core subjects. Teachers should concentrate on those again.
Same sex: Geography lessons will explain why homosexuals move to
cities and language classes will teach gay vocabulary (picture posed by models)
'This is not about being homophobic, because there are other schemes around the education which support the LGBT agenda.'
John O'Connell, of campaign group the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: 'Parents will wonder if this is a right use of funds and time, particularly when we keep hearing how tight budgets are.'
The plans are funded by a £35,000 grant from education quango the Training And Development Agency For Schools. They will be launched in February at the start of LGBT History Month.
A Department for Education spokesman added: 'These are optional teaching materials.
'It is for head and teacher to choose the most appropriate teaching resources to help promote equality and tolerance.'
LGBT History Month started in 2005 and has previously focused more on raising awareness of prominent figures said to be homosexual.
A list on its website includes Hadrian the Roman emperor and Michaelangelo the Renaissance painter.

Egg binding refers to a common and potentially serious condition where a female bird is unable to pass an egg that may be stuck near the cloaca, or further inside the reproductive tract. Even though egg binding can occur in any female bird, it is most common in smaller birds such as lovebirds, cockatiels, budgies and finches.
The potential of an egg breaking inside the tract is high, which then can result in an infection or damage to internal tissue; and - if left untreated - death.
The bound egg may be gently massaged out; failing this it may become necessary for a vet to break the egg inside and remove it in parts. If broken, the oviduct should be cleaned of shell fragments and egg residue to avoid damage or infection.
Suspected causes for egg binding include:
- Low Calcium Levels or Hypocalcaemia Syndrome associated with low calcium levels in the blood. Supplementing the breeding hen with a diet rich in calcium and Vitamin D is an important factor in preventing this problem
- You could provide a dish filled with crushed egg shell (from boiled eggs to kill any bacteria) and/or attach a calcium / mineral block to the cage.
- In areas where access to natural sunlight is limited (such as in the northern hemisphere during the winter months), full spectrum lamps can be used to provide UVA and UVB rays.natrual food source rich in vitimine D Potentially discuss supplementation with your vet. Supplementation needs to be carefully screen ed and supervised by a vet since an excess of vitamin D (in the form of a supplement) causes kidney damage and retards growth.
- Relevant Article:Natural Calcium for Birds - Sources and Absorbability
- Malnutrition caused by seed-only or low-protein diets.
- Sedentary lifestyle: Often the case when birds are kept in enclosures / cages that are too small for them. The lack of exercise causes poorly developed muscles and obesity.
- At particular risk are sick and old Birds.
- Pet birds can also develop this problem, as birds don't need a mate to lay eggs. (Obviously, solitary egg-laying females won't produce fertile eggs.)
Loss of appetite, depression, abdominal straining, and sitting fluffed on the bottom of the cage. Some hens may pass large wet droppings while others may not pass any droppings due to the egg's interfering with normal defecation.
If you suspect that your bird is egg-bound, she should be seen by a vet immediately. The veterinarian may be able to feel the egg in the bird's abdomen. An x-ray may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Sometimes medical treatment will enable the hen to pass her egg. Occasionally surgery is necessary.
Complications from being egg bound can be swelling, bleeding or prolapse of the oviduct.
If in doubt as to if the hen is egg bound or not, a few vet sites recommend separation, warmth, warm bath and calcium to all hens in lay that seem distressed.
This is a life-threatening condition and should be addressed by a qualified avian vet. Your vet may discuss:
- Calcium shots - immediate solution to help the egg shell harden allowing the hen to hopefully pass it
- Lupron shots to stop hens from going into breeding condition
- Spaying your hen as a permanent solution
The following are samples of actions that have resolved this problem for some birds (please note: not all hens can be saved, especially if it's critical by the time the problem was discovered and no vet is available or can be reached in time). Egg-bound hens go into profound cardiovascular collapse and may not be able to put in the effort to push the egg out without intervention.
- Suspected egg binding: Keep her in a warm area. Provide supportive care.
- Place the bird into a steamy room, such as bathroom with shower on until the bathroom mirrors and windows steam up. Desired temperature: 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit / Humidity: 60%. Place bird on wet towel. The warmth relaxes the hen so that the vent can dilate more allowing the egg to pass.
- A warm water bath can also be of great help (shallow water, of course, you don't want to drown the hen). This relaxes her muscles and often the hen will pass the egg into the water. Make the water as warm as you would like to take a long soak in.
- Massage the muscles in that area with olive oil. In many cases, this lead to a successful passing of the egg. Note: there is a risk associated with messaging this area. It could cause the egg inside to break - which is life-threatening. Be very careful! If in doubt, it's always best to have the vet take care of it...
- Even if the cause is not hypocalcaemia in this hen's case it will not hurt her to have more calcium.
- Applying a personal lubricant, such as KY jelly to her vent may also be helpful.
- To reduce swelling on her vent, some breeders reported success in applying Preparation H to her vent.
- Successful Passing of the Egg: Following passing of the egg keep the hen in a warm and quiet area separate from the others, until she is out of shock and back to eating and drinking well.
- Prevention: Provide bird with high-calorie, high-calcium food to help strengthen future eggs and prevent egg binding.

Search for a relative to learn more about your family history.
Where is the Seering family from?
You can see how Seering families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Seering family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Seering families were found in USA in 1920. In 1840 there was 1 Seering family living in Pennsylvania. This was 100% of all the recorded Seering's in USA. Pennsylvania had the highest population of Seering families in 1840.
Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Seering surname lived. Within census records, you can often find information like name of household members, ages, birthplaces, residences, and occupations.

2D Syntax
 #lang 2d package: 2d-test
The 2d language installs #2d reader support in the readtables, and then chains to the reader of another language that is specified immediately after 2d.
The #2d syntax extension adds the ability use a two-dimensional grid syntax. That is, you can draw an ASCII-art grid and then treat that as an expression. For example, here is a simple equality function that operates on pairs and numbers, written using a #2d conditional expression:
#lang 2d racket
(require 2d/cond)

(define (same? a b)
 #2dcond
 ╔═════════════╦═══════════════════════╦═════════════╗
 (pair? a) (number? a)
 ╠═════════════╬═══════════════════════╬═════════════╣
 (pair? b) (and (same? (car a) #f
 (car b))
 (same? (cdr a)
 (cdr b)))
 ╠═════════════╬═══════════════════════╬═════════════╣
 (number? b) #f (= a b)
 ╚═════════════╩═══════════════════════╩═════════════╝)
This notation works in two stages: reading, and parsing (just as in Racket in general). The reading stage converts anything that begins with #2d into a parenthesized expression (possibly signaling errors if the and and characters do not line up in the right places).
Since the first line contains #2dcond, the reader will produce a sequence whose first position is the identifier 2dcond.
That macro will take over and then expand into ordinary conditional expressions, in this case figuring out whether or not the inputs are pairs or numbers and evaluating the code in the appropriate cell.
At the reader level, the syntax #2d notation checks the number of columns in the first row and uses that as a guide for where subsequent rows may appear. Once that first row is set, it serves as a guide to where the columns may appear in subsequent rows, although following columns may be merged.
This merging can simplify some uses of #2d expressions. For example, consider this expression that captures subtyping relationships between a few of the Typed Racket numeric types, this time using a #2d match expression:
#lang 2d racket
(require 2d/match)

(define (subtype? a b)
 #2dmatch
 ╔══════════╦══════════╦═══════╦══════════╗
 a b 'Integer 'Real 'Complex
 ╠══════════╬══════════╩═══════╩══════════╣
 'Integer #t
 ╠══════════╬══════════╗
 'Real
 ╠══════════╣ ╚═══════╗
 'Complex #f
 ╚══════════╩══════════════════╩══════════╝)
There are a number of cell walls missing here, but this is still a well-formed #2d expression. In this case, the 2dmatch treats any of the situations that fall into the larger regions as the same.
In general, a #2d expression, when read, turns into an expression with at least two sub-pieces (not counting the initial name). The first is a sequence of numbers giving the widths of the top row of cells; the second is also a sequence of numbers, this time giving the heights of the leftmost column of cells. The remaining sequence describe the cells content. The first element of each is itself a sequence of coordinates, one for each of the cells that are connected together. The remaining elements are the subexpressions in the given cells.
For example, this:
#lang 2d racket
'#2dex
╔══════════╦══════════╗
 0 1
╠══════════╬══════════╣
 2 3
╚══════════╩══════════╝
evaluates to
'(2dex (10 10)
 (2 2)
 (((0 0)) 0)
 (((0 1)) 2)
 (((1 0)) 1)
 (((1 1)) 3))
and this
#lang 2d racket
'#2dex
╔══════════╦══════════╦══════════╗
 0 1 2 3 4
╠══════════╬══════════╩══════════╣
 5 6
╚══════════╩═════════════════════╝
evaluates to
'(2dex (10 10 10)
 (2 2)
 (((0 0)) 0)
 (((0 1)) 5)
 (((1 0)) 1 2)
 (((1 1) (2 1)) 6)
 (((2 0)) 3 4))
In addition, the cells coordinates pairs have source locations of the first character that is inside the corresponding cell. (Currently the span is always 1, but that may change.)

Within the top-left cell, the leftmost expression will count as col-expr, and the rightmost as row-expr. In case of a tie (i.e., both expressions start at the same column, but on different lines), the bottommost one will count as col-expr. For example, all of these are valid:
╔═════════════════╗

'Basômetro' is a tool that monitors the votes of each representative in Brazil's House of Representatives, with historical data ranging back from 2003 up to now. It then calculates a government support ratio for each politician and the values are also aggregated by party.
The 'Basômetro' measures the governance of deputies and parties in the House. To do this, the tool calculates how many votes followed the government leader's guidance, in percent.
We consider that a vote in favor of the government is one that exactly follows the orientation of the leadership. For example, if the indication is "yes", only "yes" votes are considered pro-situation. All others ("no", "obstruction" or "abstention") are considered votes against the government.
When the government does not register a direction and releases the bench position, the related data are discarded. Thus, the rates of government and attendance by parliamentarians are calculated taking into account only the votes in which the Executive has explicitly assumed a position
In the tool, information made available by the Open Data Portal of the House of Representatives through the API (a kind of system that allows automation of data collection and publication) of the institution is used.
We created in Python a lib to constantly consume the House of Representatives API and format the data in a more readable way. Also in Python, the script groups the data by party and government, in addition to bringing other congressman data as voting attendance rate.
What was the hardest part of this project?
Among the difficulties are public data that is neither standardized nor organized. The scripts developed had to be designed to deal with these inconstancies. Another difficulty factor was to create a visually impactful but at the same time simple visualization so that the tool would be accessible and not restricted to researchers and political scientists – as it was in the first version of the Basômetro in 2012
What can others learn from this project?
We believe that it is possible to reach several layers of the audience without necessarily being frivolous or too technical. The Basometer was the balance of these two strands.


Master's Thesis Presentation • Artificial Intelligence — Decay Makes Supervised Predictive Coding GenerativeExport this event to calendar

Please note: This master's thesis presentation will be given online.
Wei Sun, Master's candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science
Predictive Coding is a hierarchical model of neural computation that approximates backpropagation using only local computations and local learning rules. An important aspect of Predictive Coding is the presence of feedback connections between layers. These feedback connections allow Predictive Coding networks to potentially be generative as well as discriminative. However, Predictive Coding networks trained on supervised classification tasks cannot generate accurate input samples close to the training inputs from the class vectors alone.
This problem arises from the fact that generating inputs from classes requires solving an underdetermined system, which contains an infinite number of solutions. Generating the correct inputs involves reaching a specific solution in that infinite solution space. But by imposing a minimum-norm constraint on the state nodes and the synaptic weights of a Predictive Coding network, the solution space collapses to a unique solution that is close to the training inputs. This minimum-norm constraint can be enforced by adding decay to the Predictive Coding equations.
Decay is implemented in the form of weight decay as well as a new type of decay, \textit{activity decay}. Analyses done on linear Predictive Coding networks show that applying weight decay during training helps the network learn weights that can generate the correct input samples from the class vectors, while applying activity decay during input generation helps to lower the variance in the network's generated samples. Additionally, weight decay regularizes the values of the network weights, avoiding extreme values, and improves the rate at which the network converges to equilibrium by regularizing the eigenvalues of the Jacobian at the equilibrium.
Experiments on the MNIST dataset of handwritten digits provide evidence that decay makes Predictive Coding networks generative even when the network contains deep layers and uses nonlinear $\tanh$ activations. A Predictive Coding network equipped with weight and activity decay successfully generates images resembling MNIST digits from the class vectors alone.

VIA Isaiah Processor Architecture Preview - Low Power CPU
Author: Josh Walrath
Subject: Processors
Manufacturer: VIA
Isaiah Architecture (cont'd)
The Isaiah is a truly competitive part when compared to current
offerings from AMD and Intel. It is a out-of-order, superscalar design
which utilizes multiple decode and execution units that take it a big
overall power consumption.
VIA Isaiah Wafer from Mystery Fab - Photo courtesy Russell Johnson
Isaiah is being produced on a bulk 65 nm process, though VIA is not
releasing who is doing the fabrication. The previous C7 was produced
by IBM on their 90 nm SOI process. This time Centaur decided to forgo
SOI and work with a cheaper bulk process (though nearly any 65 nm
process has plenty of power and speed optimizations over previous 90 nm
nodes). When considering die size, the people at VIA are not talking
official numbers as of yet, but most likely Isaiah uses around the same
amount of space as the older C7 cores.
The core does not utilize an integrated memory controller, but
still uses the VIA V4 front side bus to a memory controller on the
chipset. Centaur did a lot of work to mitigate any latency penalties
for using an off-chip controller. The first is the use of large L1 and
L2 caches. The L1 data and instruction caches each feature 64 KB,
while the L2 cache expands from 128 KB in the C7 to 1 MB with Isaiah.
The CPU also uses a memory prefetch function which actually stores data
from main memory in L2 cache.
Centaur did a lot of work on the caches. Both the L1 and L2 caches
feature 16 way set associativity, and they are exclusive caches.
Exclusivity means that the data in the L1 caches is not replicated in
the L2. Intel's C2D caches are non-exclusive, but because of the large
2 MB/core L2 cache it is not that big of a deal. The L1 caches have 16
byte accesses, while L2 cache is doubled to 32 bytes. They were
unwilling to give overall MB/sec throughput for the caches, but their
performance should be adequate for what the design requires.
The core utilizes three complex decoders which can take a full X86
which makes its potential throughput pretty tremendous. It also
something that AMD implemented in Phenom, and Intel had in their
improvement over the previous C7.
The C7 had a very basic branch predictor, and it seemingly relied
more upon other front end optimizations such as the caches to improve
its efficiency. Centaur has taken a different approach with Isaiah.
It now features a much more robust and complex branch predictor unit
which should improve overall efficiency. Their predictor looks quite
unique, and a step away from what Intel and AMD have been doing with
their products. More research is needed on my part to better
understand the functionality of this branch predictor. Needless to
say, it is a major improvement from the previous C7.
Perhaps the most impressive feature of this architecture is the
transistor count. Each chip is approximately 94 million transistors,
with the AMD Phenom which features 450 million transistors. Though
is still less than 1/4th the size.
Current Isaiah Die Shot
VIA will not pursue dual core products at this time, but the Isaiah
architecture can handle more than one core. Supposedly much of the
internal infrastructure needed to create a dual core product is
present, and just waiting for the right economic and processing
conditions to design a product around.
The overall performance of the chip has not been discussed, as it
is still undergoing a lot of testing and tuning. VIA does expect it to
be 2 to 4 times faster than the C7 at the same clockspeed, and be able
to pull about the same power. This will be a tremendous boost for
those working with the lower power/small form factor designs.
We will start seeing the first Isaiah products near the end of 1H
2008. Already there are some 40 design wins based on Isaiah with
manufacturers around the world. If the product performs as advertised,
it will be a viable competitor to AMD and Intel's low power offerings.
For the integrated market, the only real competition on the horizon is
Intel's Silverthorne line. VIA will still have a lot of time to
capture as much marketshare as possible before Intel rolls out their
product, and if this product is as good as VIA is hoping, then they
have a chance at being a major supplier of X86 parts.

Community Prevention Framework Evaluation Reports
– Dennis O. Romero, M.A, Former Director of CSAP (2007)
Fitting CTC into SPF
It is important to remember that the CTC system is simply a tool to aid in building a prevention infrastructure referred to as the SPF process. CTC and SPF are not programs nor are they administrative names for program implementation. They exist and work together in helping communities get organized, identify problem areas based on community data, make knowledgeable decisions pertaining to how these problems should be addressed, and evaluate any actions taken to counter the problem areas. Most people are either familiar with SPF or with CTC, or they have no prior knowledge of either. This website was designed to help everyone navigate through the elements of the SPF process, see how CTC fits into this process, and also gain a greater knowledge in building a strong prevention infrastructure. Each phase of the CTC system fits well into a coordinating phase of the SPF process, and it is clear that sustainability and cultural competency as key components to every part of building a prevention infrastructure. When navigating this website, the chart above can be used to find either CTC or SPF materials.

In 1997, a daylight and artificial lighting concept was developed for all the rooms with skylights in the Pergamon Museum. For the first time, a computer simulation of the daylight, including even the falling of shadows on the exhibits, was conducted.
The effect of light was examined in visualizations that even included the detailed shadows cast by the reliefs.
Artificial Light +
The artificial lighting was designed to be entirely above the dust-proof ceiling. The intensity of the direct lighting is influenced by a differentiated density of the glass printing.
Through different degrees of diffusion in the glass roof, light components are directed in a targeted manner onto the Pergamon alter. This was investigated through computer animations which illustrated dynamic diurnal variations.

Establishment of Trusts
A trust is a form of ownership that separates 'legal' from 'beneficial' title. Legal ownership is vested in the trustees, whose role is to look after the assets under their care and make management and investment decisions; beneficial ownership (the rights and benefits associated with the property) is vested in the beneficiaries.
By separating the control of property from its rights and monetary value, a trust structure can address complex succession issues, and provide an invaluable tax planning tool. It also gives opportunities for creditor protection and may assist in the context of matrimonial breakdown.
We can provide advice to individuals wanting to establish trusts, to the beneficiaries of trusts and to the trustees, both onshore and offshore.

As copper shim manufacturers, we are highly knowledgeable on how these shims can benefit a business's operations. Here's an insight into the main advantages, depending on your priorities as a company.
Are they affordable?
As previously stated, copper shims reduce maintenance costs. Additionally to this, they are a much more affordable element to replace than replacing or fixing the machine itself due to damages. Similarly, they eliminate the need for extra labour to fix such machines. Therefore, saving on a business's budget overall.
Do they conduct heat & electricity?
Secondly, a copper shim is known for its fantastic compatibility with electrical and heated applications. As a base chemical element, copper can withstand high levels of thermal and electrical voltages. Therefore, they're often used for cabling purposes. As a soft and malleable metal, it also lends itself to being customisable, therefore acting as a fantastic levelling, spacing and sealing material.
Are they corrosion resistant?
Lastly, copper shim manufacturers rely on this material for its immaculate corrosion resistance. As copper is non-reactive to water, industries that deal with water transfer and piping applications heavily rely on this type of shim. Copper can stay durable and aesthetically pleasing in most conditions, therefore ensuring that corrosion is minimal.

Can Pipe Flow Advisor calculate the flow rates for fluids other than water?
No. The Pipe Flow Advisor software only calculates flow rates for water.
Pipe Flow Advisor uses the manning formula and the manning coefficient to calculate approximate flow rates for water flow in open channels, part filled closed channels, and part filled pipes. This formula cannot be used with other fluids (only water).
Pipe Flow Advisor can also estimate the time taken for a tank of water to empty, given the tank shape, tank dimensions and height of fluid.


Why Rain Is Not A Problem For Hummingbirds
Nov 9, 2011
Originally published on November 10, 2011 8:44 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with an answer to how hummingbirds manage to fly in pouring rain. New slow-motion photography shows the tiny birds shed water much like dogs do, by whipping their heads back and forth. But hummingbirds do it mid-flight and really fast, reaching a G-force of 34, more than five times faster than a Formula One racing car. Researchers at U.C. Berkeley say this finding could help them develop micro air vehicles or improve the spin cycle of a washing machine. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Blue cohosh: (Caulophyllum thalictroides). A tall North American perennial plant with large blue berries. Blue cohosh is sold as an herbal dietary supplement that can induce labor. Blue cohosh contains the glycosides caulosaponin and caulophyllosaponin, which cause uterine contraction and constriction of the coronary arteries in experimental animals. There is considerable concern about the medical safety of blue cohosh. Newborn babies have been reported who have had a heart attack or stroke after the mother took blue cohosh to induce labor.
Blue cohosh was an American Indian remedy. It was principally used by the squaws as an agent to facilitate childbirth. It was therefore known as squawroot or pappoose root. It is also called blueberry root.

Will Sulfuric Acid Dissolve an RTV Silicone Seal?
Written by les belzer | 13/05/2017
Will Sulfuric Acid Dissolve an RTV Silicone Seal?
RTV, room temperature vulcanised silicone sealant is used in many applications in a car. (automobile image by Franco DI MEO from Fotolia.com)
RTV is an initialisation for Room Temperature Vulcanizing rubber or silicone, an extremely useful product. You can use it to form almost instant gasket-like seals in your car or other machinery. There are also many other uses for the product, depending on the specific formula. The movie industry, for instance, uses it to create wobbly lifelike figures in motion pictures.
What Is Vulcanization
Vulcanisation was first discovered by Charles Goodyear, of Goodyear tire fame, in 1839. He found that if you heat liquid rubber and add sulphur that the resulting compound is much more durable than the rubber alone. He named the process after Vulcan, the Greek god of fire. Since then the process has been improved not only for rubber but also for silicone. In 2011 the process is used not only to make long-lasting tires, but also to improve the characteristics of silicone sealants.
How Silicone Is Made
Will Sulfuric Acid Dissolve an RTV Silicone Seal?
RTV silicone sealants can be used to make sure your aquarium doesn't leak. (Aquarium image by crossgolfing from Fotolia.com)
Silicone is the basis for a large number of elastomers, polymers and synthetic rubbers. In general, all silicone is made by adding oxygen to silicon. This forms chains with alternating molecules of silicon and oxygen. Then other additives, such as sulphur, provide the silicone with specific properties necessary for each application. It was first discovered in the early 1900s and used in World War II as a sealant for aeroplane coolant.
RTV Silicone Sealant
RTV or room temperature vulcanised silicone is very useful as a sealant. Its high resistance to oil, transmission fluid and coolants make it the perfect material for a sealant in your car or even in your aquarium. These sealants come in two varieties: those that have a single tube application and those that have to be mixed like epoxy glues just before use. The advantage of the messier mixed system is that it cures faster so your seal can be ready in a matter of minutes.
RTV and Acid
Sulphuric acid is a clear, viscous liquid with extremely corrosive properties. You must be very careful to take proper precautions when using this chemical. Most RTV silicone sealants claim to have a high resistance to corrosion even against high-concentration acids. So the majority of RTV silicone sealants will resist contact with sulphuric acid. Remember, however, that there are many different formulas available, so you might want to try a small amount of sulphuric acid on the sealant to see how it reacts. Silicon, the basis of silicone, is also the basis for glass, in which sulphuric acid is stored.

Code segment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In computing, a code segment, also known as a text segment or simply as text, is a portion of an object file or the corresponding section of the program's virtual address space that contains executable instructions.[1] The term "segment" comes from the memory segment, which is a historical approach to memory management now known as paging. When a program is stored in an object file, the code segment is a part of this file; when the loader places a program into memory so that it may be executed, various memory regions are allocated (in particular, as pages), corresponding to both the segments in the object files and to segments only needed at run time. For example, the code segment of an object file is loaded into a corresponding code segment in memory.
The code segment in memory is typically read-only and has a fixed size, so on embedded systems it can usually be placed in read-only memory (ROM), without the need for loading. If the code segment is not read-only, then the particular architecture allows self-modifying code. Fixed-position or position independent code may be shared in memory by several processes in segmented or paged memory systems.[1][2] As a memory region, the code segment may be placed below the heap or stack in order to prevent heap and stack overflows from overwriting it.[3]

Field-dependent NMR studies of bio-molecular systems using a sample shuttling hardware operating on a high-field NMR apparatus have provided valuable structural and dynamic information. We have recently published a design of a compact sample transportation device, called "field-cycler", which was installed in a commercial spectrometer and which provided highly precise positioning and stability during high speed shuttling. In this communication, we demonstrate the first use of a sample shuttling device on a commercial high field standard bore NMR spectrometer, equipped with a commercial triple resonance cryogenically cooled NMR probe. The performance and robustness of the hardware operating in 1D and 2D field cycling experiments, as well as the impact of the sample shuttling time on the signal intensity are discussed.

30140 vs 30802 medical review denials
Best answers
Is anyone having CPT 30140 denied during medical review by Onet for Aetna? We are billing Aetna for CPT 30140 and when Aetna sends the operative notes to Onet for review, Onet denies the 30140 and states that CPT 30802 is supported instead.
CPT 30140
Submucosal resection inferior turbinate, partial or complete, any method
The submucosal resection differs from the excision procedure in that during the submucosal resection the physician will make an "incision" into the turbinate mucosa to expose the underlying turbinate bone. The turbinate bone is excised.
CPT 30802
intramural (ie, submucosal)
The most common type of ablation procedure that we are seeing is the radio-frequency ablation technique. The physician will insert a radio-frequency probe submucosally into the turbinate usually creating 3 channels or tunnels. The heating effect of the radio-frequency probe then helps to shrink the hypertrophied turbinate, reducing it in size.
The section of the operative report relating to this issue is listed below:
Using a coblater to incise mucosa and resect the submucosal soft tissue and bone, SMR of the right inferior turbinate was performed. A tunnel was made between the right bony membranous inferior turbinate. The turbinator was used to remove part of the right bony turbinate with removal of part of the right membranous lateral turbinate membrane
Based on this excerpt from the operative note, how would you code this, 30140 RT or 30802?

The Vitalizer Plus incorporates basic principles utilized in Nature, to create a special life-enhancing water your body will love!
How does Nature create crystal clear living water?
It begins with the rain or snow which is naturally energized and often highly structured water. It uses movement – vortexes of energy and natural curves. It adds oxygen and minerals as water splashes and falls and it uses vital magnetic fields from the earth. The end result? A highly energized, structured, mineralized, oxygenated and purified living water!
Through a strong electromagnetic power, Vitalizer Plus generates a vortex, which turns the lifeless filtered, purified or distilled water into good creamy taste hexagonal structured water. This "tornado like motion" allows minerals and oxygen to be easily absorbed into the water molecules, and this process will also breakdown the large water molecules of filtered or purified water and make it pass through cell membrane instantly. The rapid hydration at the cellular level will boost energy instantly and enhance peak performance.
Now, you can create the same living water in your own home with the Vitalizer Plus!


How to prepare the house for Autumn
How to prepare the house for Autumn
In a few weeks, Australia will welcome the season of ripeness and maturity, Autumn. The vibrant season full of a bright colour like orange, brown and red which means you need to get ready to welcome all of the fallen leaves onto the garden and roof, not to mention all of the rubbish piling up during the Winter.
While most of the affected part of the house is external but there's still a chance that the season could affect the internal part, one of them is the ceiling. Therefore, we have prepared guidance on how to prepare the house for Autumn.
1. Check the roofing condition
During the winter, the rain intensity increased which means the roofing has been working hard to keep everyone inside safe. However, there's still a chance that the roofing sustains certain damage which you are not aware of. Therefore, a simple inspection needed by climbing up and check any sign of damage, if there's any, you can note the exact location and get the professional help to fix it.
2. Clean the gutters
While doing the roof inspection, don't forget to look at the condition of the gutters which obviously has working hard as well during the winter. Twigs, leaves and any other debris could possibly be stuck there and could be a hindrance for the gutters flow. Therefore, clean it by using a pressured water host or a small rake to prevent major issue ever happening to the gutters.
3. Reinforce the insulation and ventilation system
The insulation and ventilation system are another part that likely sustains damage during the winter. Damp makes it easier for the insulation to sustain damage and strong winds could possibly damage the ventilation system. Therefore, these two should be back in top form before the Autumn coming.
4. Repair the water damaged ceiling
Roofing and ceiling are connected which means if the roofing sustains damage, there's a possibility the leak will damage the ceiling as well causing a sagging or wet on some parts of the ceiling. This situation needs immediate attention because it could lead to a collapsed ceiling and endanger everyone's safety. Therefore, a quick call to a reliable ceiling repairs Perth company like Perth Ceiling Repairs will get the job done ASAP.
5. Hire a skip bin
There's no denying that during Autumn, the backyard or garden area will be quite a mess with a piling of fallen leaves, twigs and any other debris. That's why hiring a skip bin from a reliable provider will make it easier for you to organize all of the rubbish in one place, a skip bin hire. Additionally, this skip bin provider will prioritize recycling method when managing the rubbish which means all of the green waste will go to the local compose centre.
Thank you for reading and hopefully, this article can help you in preparing the house for Autumn. Feel free to share it.
