Juvenile thirteen-lined ground squirrels, Spermophilus tridecemlineatus, are less vigilant (i.e. they spend less time visually scanning the environment) than adults. To determine whether nutritional need was a potential cause of this difference, we supplemented two groups of free-ranging juveniles during the predispersal stage, while juveniles were still near and around the natal burrows. The high-energy food group (HEF: 11 squirrels) received peanut butter and oats while the low-energy food group (LEF: seven squirrels) received lettuce. Adults (14 squirrels) were also supplemented, but due to their greater home range sizes, it was not feasible to classify them as either HEF or LEF. To evaluate the effect of supplementation on antipredator vigilance, the behavioral act of visually scanning for predators, we videotaped individuals while they were foraging above ground during 5-min observation periods. Each squirrel was observed and weighed during three time periods over 23 days. From the videotape, we extracted measures of time spent vigilant, locomoting and foraging. All three categories of squirrels gained mass over the study period, but the HEF juveniles rapidly exceeded that of the LEF juveniles. Early in the study, LEF and HEF juveniles did not significantly differ in either body mass or time budgets, and, initially, both juvenile groups were similar to adults in the amount of time devoted to vigilance. Later in the study, the behavior of HEF juveniles closely resembled that of adults (increased time devoted to vigilance and decreased time devoted to foraging), while LEF juveniles decreased vigilance and increased their foraging time. This study indicates that for thirteen-lined ground squirrels the lower vigilance of juveniles is due, at least in part, to the greater nutritional needs of young animals with consequent increases in foraging, which is largely incompatible with vigilance.

Infections Requiring Hospitalization as Predictors of Pediatric-Onset Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
Odds ratios for hospitalized infections comparing ulcerative colitis cases with controls. Compared with controls using conditional logistic regression accounting for the matching factors: age and duration of membership as well as sex and race. Hospitalized infections were hospitalizations with diagnosis codes for infection in the principal diagnosis code position. Intestinal infections included ICD-9-CM codes 001-009 and 567. The index date was defined as the date of the case's diagnosis for both cases and matched controls. Nonintestinal infections were not reported as no UC patient experienced an intestinal infection requiring hospitalization.

Have choices you made in the past led to consequences that are still working themselves out?
When you look back on those turning points, have you felt that the truth was right there but you missed it? Or that you persuaded yourself not to believe it?
Regret can can be a motivator for change, and can facilitate our journey to truth.
Writing helps.

pole. While observations abound, the physics behind its formation is still uncertain. Although several phenomenological models have been able to reproduce this feature, a self-consistent model for how such a large-scale polygonal jet forms in the highly turbulent atmosphere of Saturn is lacking. Here, we present a three-dimensional (3D) fully nonlinear anelastic simulation of deep thermal convection in the outer layers of gas giant planets that spontaneously generates giant polar cyclones, fierce alternating zonal flows, and a high-latitude eastward jet with a polygonal pattern. The analysis of the simulation suggests that self-organized turbulence in the form of giant vortices pinches the eastward jet, forming polygonal shapes. We argue that a similar mechanism is responsible for exciting Saturn's hexagonal flow pattern.

However, the ocean processes governing ice shelf melting are not well understood, contributing to uncertainty in projections of Antarctica's contribution to global sea level. We use high-resolution large-eddy simulation to examine ocean-driven melt, in a geophysical-scale model of the turbulent ice shelf--ocean boundary layer, focusing on the ocean conditions observed beneath the Ross Ice Shelf. We quantify the role of double-diffusive convection in determining ice shelf melt rates and oceanic mixed layer properties in relatively warm and low-velocity cavity environments. We demonstrate that double-diffusive convection is the first-order process controlling the melt rate and mixed layer evolution at these flow conditions, even more important than vertical shear due to a mean flow, and is responsible for the step-like temperature and salinity structure, or thermohaline staircase, observed beneath the ice. A robust feature of the multiday simulations is a growing saline diffusive sublayer that drives a time-dependent melt rate. This melt rate is lower than current ice--ocean parameterizations, which consider only shear-controlled turbulent melting, would predict. Our main finding is that double-diffusive convection is an important process beneath ice shelves, yet is currently neglected in ocean--climate models.

Muscat – A team of specialists from the Environment Authority has been monitoring an Arabian Sea humpback whale in the Port of Duqm waters for a week.
A statement issued by the authority said, 'The specialists confirmed that the whale was rescued last January from fishing nets in the port and that they have been following the whale to ensure its welfare and safe passage out of the port.'
In January, a massive rescue effort was undertaken to save the whale as it got stranded in the Port of Duqm after being entangled in nets.
Specialists and volunteers from the authority, Five Oceans Environmental Services and Future Seas, supported by Environment Society of Oman and the Port of Duqm, rescued the whale in January.
The authority added that the incident highlights the dangers posed by abandoned fishing gear to the marine environment.
Arabian Sea humpback whales are a small subpopulation of humpback whales, which are the most genetically distinct whales and the most isolated whale population on earth. A study suggests that these have remained separate from other humpback whale populations for perhaps 70,000 years.

Aircraft manufacturers continue to devise new ways to reduce manual labor, turning to robots for repetitive jobs such as drilling holes. Research projects are helping improve precision so robots can be used for even the most demanding applications.
Variation Reduction Solutions Inc. is spearheading a project to develop a vision-guided robotic drilling system that will automatically drill several thousand precision holes in the center fuselage of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). It is funded by the Air Force Research Lab and the U.S. Department of Defense Joint Program Offices. Once the initial machines are put in use by JSF team member Northrop Grumman, they will be redesigned for a broader market.
"Commercialization is absolutely our goal," said Don Manfredi, COO at VRSI. "Robotic drilling is a hot application right now, but it's not being done to this level of accuracy in production."
VRSI's project is yet another program that is helping bring automotive-industry techniques to aircraft manufacturing. "Three years ago, 100% of our business was in automotive," Manfredi said.
The Robotic Applied Drilling System being developed by VRSI will replace the huge gantry systems now used to drill holes into the fuselage components. That can slow production when the sequential production flow is altered.
Today, the flow is interrupted when assemblies must be moved to the immobile gantry for precision drilling. When the holes are finished, the part can then be returned to the next step of the assembly process.
"We can put our robotic cell in line with everything else so you go from operation one to operation two, then three, and so on," Manfredi said. In this application, up to four robots will comprise a cell. The new center fuselage project requires the drilling of approximately 4000 holes per side through various stack-ups of composite and metal. Hole diameters range from 0.190 to 0.250 in.
One version of the VRSI system will use commercial-off-the-shelf robots that are upgraded with options provided by various robot manufacturers. The more precise version requires extra positioning equipment.
"We're looking at true position tolerances of 0.010 and 0.020 in. We can do modifications to get to TP (true position) 20 unguided. To go from TP 20 to TP 10, we have to guide the drill head with a laser tracker," Manfredi said.
VRSI is using Faro Technologies' laser trackers to guide the drill heads. Faro lasers are also being used in a related F-35 program funded by a Small Business Innovation Research grant. The goal in this project is to devise a robot that will drill holes needed to attach inlet ducts to the fuselage. Each duct has a length of about 9 ft, yet an internal diameter of only 20 in.
Currently, workers squeeze into the ducts to manually drill and countersink 800 holes per duct. Using robots should significantly shorten drilling time. Dassault Systèmes software tools are being used to design the inlet duct drilling system.


New machine learning method generates unique faces for video game characters
Researchers from the Netease Fuxi AI Lab and the University of Michigan have created a machine learning method called MeInGame that can automatically generate faces by analyzing a single portrait.
We offer an automatic method for creating a character's face that predicts both face shape and texture from a single portrait. It can be used for most of the existing 3D games.
Research text
In order for 3D Morphing Face Models (3DMMs) to accurately reproduce the profile of a person, they must be trained on large sets of image and texture data.
Compiling these datasets can be quite time consuming. Also, such a system can only work stably with the regular loading of new data. To overcome this limitation, the authors of the work, Lin, Yuan and Zou, did not use generated photographs, but images of real people.
They first reconstructed the face based on a 3D face morphing model (3DMM) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and then transferred the shape of the 3D face onto a grid of templates. As a result, the network receives a face image and an unrolled UV texture map as input, and then it predicts the light factors.
The authors tested their deep learning technique in a series of experiments: they compared the quality of the game characters with other generated models.

What is Motivation? For me, motivation is a fancy word which is used when people need will-power to stick to a good plan. When people act according to their ideas, other's called them motivated. Just to make it clearer let's proceed with an example.
According to Creator's lifestyle, the use of electronic devices having a screen (Mobile, TV, and Laptop) must be restricted between 9:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. It is an excellent plan if we take into consideration the fact that when we get tired, we mindlessly surf on these devices which used to manipulate us and sometimes feed us with wrong information. Just try to remember how the content of these devices are filled with violence, hate, and sarcasm. According to Creator's Lifestyle, when we are active, we can distinguish between right or wrong and good or bad but as we grow tired the boundaries start getting blur. Only audio-video devices are targeted in the Creator's Lifestyle because these are better manipulation devices compare to other. Audio-Video is the one-way communication devices using most sense organs (Eye as well as ear with almost no use of brain).
Once you are convinced that using audio-visual devices between 09:00 am to 06:00 pm is a good plan, the word motivation comes into play. Now you need a push to stick to it, and this push is called motivation, and if you are able to stick to the plan, then you are considered to be motivated. The drive that we are calling motivation can be external as well as internal, and it's work best when we have both.
This article is about how to stay motivated, and if you are reading this article and want to stay motivated, then you surely have some goals to achieve. To achieve the goal we need motivation (Push). We already know that there are two types of motivation, one is internal and the other one is external. Let's start with internal one first, and it will be easier to explain it with an example.
If your goal is to use audio-visual devices between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and you want motivation to follow it then always remember the "why".
Q: Why I should restrict audio-visual between 9 – 6?
A: Restricting audio-visual devices between 9 – 6 will make me more creative and productive.
Q: Why I should use audio-visual device between 9 – 6?
A: Using audio–visual devices will make me more productive and assist my growth because it is more entertaining and productive and thus a more significant portion of the population is using it.
Q: If audio-visual devices are more productive then why not use it all the time?
A: Too much of anything is poison. It will kill creativity and hinder growth. Besides, it is also used by other people, and sometimes their work can distract us.
I hope you understand how internal motivation works. Once we find our internal motivation, we will eventually find our external motivation. Everything that facilitates us to follow the plan is external motivation. For instance, consider a house with four floors, and you live there. The first floor is for guest and entertainment, the second one is your office, the third one have a gym and kitchen, and fourth is your bedroom along with good books collection. Now answer honestly that what are the chances that you will do exercise, eat healthy, and read something before sleeping every day. We can consider these types of structure as an external motivator. This also explains why rich people are more motivated than poor people. Rich people are more capable of surrounding themselves with external motivators. Thus, Be Prosperous, Be Rich.

Main Ingredients: Inulin
Taraxacum officinale in Greek is called 'Taraxaco' and is found in disturbed soils, meadows and forests. In Greece, it is found in the mainland. Taraxaco, which is said to be a Greek word, heals the body's disturbances, disorders and pains.
The plant is said to be tonic, diuretic, expectorant, cholectic and stomach soothing. Because of its use in the restoration of the voice, it has also become known as "the plant of the singer". Because of the many in vitro and in vivo studies that have been made about its composition and its pharmacological properties, it can be considered a real 'medicinal plant'. In particular, officinale is one of the most widely applied therapies as well as one of the most researched (Martinez, et al., 2014).
References to Dandelion exist in the texts of Theophrastus, Dioskourides and Pliny where it was recommended for liver and bile diseases. According to the legend, it started from the Sun's chariot powder, so its petals are golden-yellow. It opens with sunrise and closes with sunset. Its medicinal properties are also mentioned in Greek mythology, as Hecate gave Theseus dandelions for 30 days in order to obtain the power needed to fight with Minotaur.
Dandelion contains mainly terpenes as well as phenolic compounds - flavonoids, while it is rich in minerals and contain proteins and carbohydrates. Its high nutritional value is even more important as it contains inulin, a polysaccharide with a prebiotic effect, which constitutes the "food" of the normal gut microflora, contributing to its preservation.

During Utah's history there have been 14 Territorial Governors and 17 Governors of the State.
Young | Cumming | Dawson | Harding | Doty | Durkee | Shaffer | Vaughan | Woods | Axtell | Emery | Murray | West | Thomas
_PHONE_ LIBERAL PARTY/REPUBLICAN
A native of Royalton, Vermont, born in 1805, Durkee became a business, civic, and political leader in Wisconsin, serving as territorial legislator, congressman, and U.S. senator (1855-61), affiliated at various times with the Liberty, Free Soil, and Republican parties. Appointed governor in 1865, Durkee pursued an energetic course oriented toward territorial development and harmony with the Mormons, although he was critical of the lack of public schools. He returned to Wisconsin in late 1869 and died in 1870 in Omaha.

New Mexico has suffered from devastating wildfires this year, fueled by drought and a dry climate. The wildfires and drought have combined to create a long-term impact on the state's ecosystems.
When rain comes, water runoff and ashes combine to change the pH levels of the surface water where it collects, making water more acidic. This in turn will have an impact on native fish and could affect drinking water, leading to higher costs in treating water, biologists say.
New Mexico is facing its worst wildfire year in recent history. The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that more than 790,000 acres throughout New Mexico have burned so far this year, and there is another month of wildfire season to go.
Current information about the State's wildfires can be found at NMFireInfo.com.
It will take several years for the ecosystem to return to normal.


Peep Facts
April 22, 2011 — Leave a comment
Who invented the wonderful candy known as Peeps?
Sam Born. Sam Born began selling Peeps in the early 1920′s. He sold them in a small grocery store he owned, under a sign that read "Just Born".
In what city did Peeps first appear?
New York City. Peeps quickly became his most popular item.
Where are Peeps made since 1932?
Bethlehem, Pa.. In 1932, Sam Born moved his company to a larger facility in Bethlehem to keep up with the growing demand.
How long does it take to make a Peep?
6 minutes. In 1953, it took 27 hours. The original process was done by hand, compared to today when machines do much of the work. Today, you can make your own Peeps, with an at home kit available from Just Born!
What color is the most popular Peep?
Yellow. We all love the little yellow chicks! After yellow, the favorite color arepink, lavender, blue, and white. The flavor, in most cases, is not changed by the color. It is simply food dye
How many Peeps are made each DAY in the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania factory?
4.2 million. That is a lot of Peeps.
Peeps aren't as bad for you as you might think. A single Peep has how many calories?
32. Peeps have 0 grams of fat too. Let's face it though, a Peep is just a hunk of sugar coated sugar.
What holiday is the largest orgy of Peep buying?
Easter. Peeps are now available year round. You can find bat Peeps for Halloween, hearts for Valentines Day, and even Christmas tree Peeps. A Peep for every occasion!
According to surveys, how many Peeps does the average adult eat in a sitting?
5. The way to eat a Peep is totally personal. Some eat the head first, another the tail. Others, myself included, poke holes in the wrapping to let them get stale. You can bake with Peeps, microwave them,freeze them, even order a pizza with Peep topping. Anything goes.
A box of unopened Peeps should be discarded after 1 year.
False. The shelf life of Peeps, if stored properly, is years. In 1 million years, someone will dig up a pack of Peeps, and they will probably be edible!
[HT: FunTrivia]
By the way, I don't like Peeps.

Re: What's the difference between authenticated an
The status of the Freedmen in Indian Territory was a constant issue for the nations of Indian Territory. There are a variety of census records that were taken on the Freedmen from as early as 1867 in the Creek Nation up until the Dawes Commission begain its official process in 1898.
In the Cherokee Nation in 1880 there was another such enumeration of Freedmen taken. This list of names collected became known as the 1880 List of Authenticated Cherokee Freedmen. During the Dawes Commissio that began 18 years later many of the Freedmen who were adults by 1898 who applied for enrollment had already had their names listed on this 1880 list.
Note that a major issue in the Cherokee Nation was whether or not the Freedmen who was applying for enrollment was truly a Freedmen or descendant of a former slave who had returned to the Cherokee Nation by 1866. The Treaty of 1866 provided for the adoption of the former Cherokee Slaves. The Freedmen applying through the Dawes Commission had to prove that they had some longevity in the nation. Part of that proof was the fact that they had been in the nation in 1880 when the list of Authenticated Cherokee Freedmen was created. In one sense this strenghtened their case for enrollment and for their entitlement to a land allotment in the nation.
Admitted Freedmen were those who were admitted to the nation officially by the Dawes Commission. The approval of their application gave them status of now being considered
"admitted freedmen" Note that there were other enumerations also taken. The Wallace Rolls (of Cherokee Freedmen)were produced but were later rejected by the Cherokee Nation and were not used for verification by the Dawes Commission.

Tarrant County Drug Possession Lawyer
Home > Tarrant County Drug Possession Lawyer
Possession is the care, custody, and control of the drug. Drug possession charges can lead to significant penalties and long-term repercussions. If you have been arrested, reach out to an experienced Tarrant County drug possession lawyer. The sooner you contact a dedicated drug attorney, the sooner they could begin working on your case. An attorney could review your situation and determine the best defense strategies and what your legal options may be.
How Does Law Enforcement in Tarrant County View Drug Possession?
Drug possession offenses are a priority with law enforcement in Tarrant County. The State of Texas has some of the harshest drug laws in the country. Both judges and law enforcement officers take drug possession cases very seriously. Therefore, it is crucial for a defendant to reach out to a skilled drug possession lawyer in Tarrant County as soon as possible.
Aggravating Factors in Drug Possession Cases
There are several aggravating factors in drug possession cases that can lead to enhanced penalties. For instance, the schedule of the drug could lead to harsher penalties. A person found in possession of a penalty group 1 drug would be an aggravating factor. Penalty group 1 drugs include cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and oxycodone. Possession of these drugs could lead to a felony charge.
Another factor in the possession case is how much of the drug the defendant was in control of. For example, a person with less than two ounces of marijuana will face a Class B misdemeanor. However, an individual with possession of more than five pounds of marijuana will be looking at a third-degree felony offense.
A defendant could face higher penalties if they possessed illegal drugs in a drug-free zone. Some drug-free zones may include schools, parks, and playgrounds. Also, a person who has prior convictions for drug possession could face enhanced penalties.
Drug Possession Consequences
A person charged with drug possession could be looking at jail time, expensive fines, and probation. The severity of the jail time and fines depend on the scheduled drug and other factors. A convicted for drug possession will also be on the person's record for the rest of their life. There is nothing they can do to get it removed unless they can get a pardon from the governor, which is highly unlikely. A conviction can adversely impact one's professional life. They could lose their job and have problems with getting another one.
The short and long-term repercussions of a conviction are why a defendant should seek the services of a Tarrant County drug possession attorney as soon as possible.
Diversion or Alternative Sentencing Programs
Diversion and alternative sentencing programs may be available for a defendant. However, it depends on the facts of the case. For example, if a person is charged with a low-level drug and they do not have any other criminal history, they may be mandated to get probation even if they lost at trial. Perhaps a deferred adjudication could be available. Also, there could be a pretrial diversion option for the defendant. These are agreements between the defense lawyer and the district attorney's office.
Constitutional Issues in Drug Possession Cases
In drug possession cases, an attorney will look to see if there are any constitutional issues. Common constitutional problems in a drug case typically involve the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. The Fifth Amendment gives the individual the right to remain silent and not incriminate oneself. The Sixth Amendment gives people the right to a lawyer. If law enforcement violates a constitutional right, a skilled defense attorney could motion to have certain evidence dismissed or the case to be dropped.
A Tarrant County Drug Possession Attorney Could Help
If you are facing drug possession charges, you should contact an accomplished attorney right away. A Tarrant County drug possession lawyer could fight for you and help protect your rights. Call today and schedule your consultation.

Re: EKAQEUDEN: Is Perseus wrong?
Carl W. Conrad (
Sat, 11 Jan 1997 17:31:08 -0600
This has been worked over by several people; rather than cite the entire
correspondence history, I'd like to work with Jonathan's original because I
think there was a fundamental misunderstanding of the Perseus (or rather of
the LSJ) enry on EKAQEUDEN.
At 1:06 PM -0600 1/11/97, Jonathan Robie wrote:
>Perseus morphological parser, and Perseus told me this:

>Perseus? Does anybody know how it works?
The first problem was the confusion of "nu_movable root_preverb" as a
single notion; they are two distinctive features in this parsing. As David
Moore noted, the "nu_movable" is what appears at the end of the 3rd sg. E-
ending for euphony. What is meant by "root_preverb," however, is that the
compounding of KAQEUDO from KAT(A) + hEUDW is so early that KAQEUDW was
deemed a simple rather than a compounded verb, meaning that it is augmented
before KAQ rather than before hEUD. I don't think I have ever seen an
imperfect of this not-uncommon verb spelled KAQHUDON--rather it is always
EKAQEUDON. The compounding is very old indeed. There are some other verbs
like this, but the only one that comes readily to my mind is EPISTAMAI,
which is indeed a compound of EP(I) + hISTAMAI (or possibly, maybe even
more likely, simply of EPI + STA, since the Pi is not aspirated as it would
be by compounding of P + hI). This verb, an exremely important verb fraught
with implications for the hisory of philosophy (it gives us the word
EPISTHMH and Epistemology) means "know," "understand." It is not thought of
as a compound at all; it's imperfect is HPISTAMHN (never EP-ISTAMHN or
EF-ISTAMHN). So that is what is mean by "root_preverb" here.
As for hREGKW, I think it's one of those ablaut roots: hREGK/hROGK -- I
don't recall ever seeing a zero grade for it, but there is an o-grade noun,
hO hROGKOS for "snort," or "snore." It has to be an old Greek root, and it
appears to me to be the very epitome of an onomatopoetic root, one that
expresses in sound that very nasal snort which is its essential meaning.

Victoria's Chief Commissioner of Police has apologised unreservedly for police actions that have traumatised Indigenous Victorians.
WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that this article contains images and names of people who have died.
- Victorian police chief Shane Patton spoke at the Yoorrook Justice Commission, the state's Indigenous truth-telling inquiry
- Mr Patton acknowledged discriminatory policing has traumatised First Nation peoples and said police would take action to address the over-representation of Indigenous people in the justice system
- Yoorrook chairperson Eleanor Bourke said the apology must bring about real change
In a statement to Victoria's Indigenous truth-telling inquiry, the Yoorrook Justice Commission, Shane Patton said the Indigenous community's over-representation in the justice system was "unacceptable" and pledged that Victoria Police would take action to address it.
"As Chief Commissioner, and on behalf of Victoria Police, I wish to formally and unreservedly apologise for police actions that have caused or contributed to the trauma experienced by so many Aboriginal families in our jurisdiction," Mr Patton said.
"I see the Yoorrook Justice Commission as an opportunity for State agencies like Victoria Police to publicly acknowledge the wrongs that have occurred and which still occur and to make a public commitment to how we intend to operate and engage with Aboriginal individuals, organisations and communities and to then follow through with actions to implement the commitments."
In his statement, Mr Patton addressed a number of issues within the justice system that have disproportionately affected Indigenous Victorians, including public drunkenness laws, the age of criminal responsibility and the treatment of people in police custody.
The Commission has heard that the state government's 2018 bail reforms contributed to the "unprecedented" mass incarceration of First Peoples in this state.
Nearly 1,200 Aboriginal people went to prison in the last financial year while on remand — meaning they spent time behind bars without being sentenced by a judge. There have been five Aboriginal deaths in custody in Victoria since 2020.
"No person should die or sustain a serious illness or injury because of contact with the criminal justice system. Every death in police care or custody is tragic," Mr Patton said.
"Victoria Police is committed to improving outcomes for Aboriginal people in police care and custody, including in partnership with Aboriginal communities. There should be no deaths of Aboriginal people in or related to police care or custody, or in any part of the criminal justice system."
Apology must bring change, Yoorrook chair says
The Yoorrook chairperson, Professor Eleanor Bourke, acknowledged Mr Patton's apology, saying it was important that the chief commissioner's words were on the public record.
Professor Bourke said "since the very beginning", Victoria Police has acted as the primary enforcement arm of a government that forcibly occupied Indigenous lands and destroyed families.
"The 'systemic racism, racist attitudes and discriminatory actions of police' over the last 170 years, it has been perpetuated with the intent of making us – First Peoples – disappear," Professor Bourke said.
"Yoorrook has heard that our people continue to be targeted, attacked, harassed and racially profiled by police. Since then, our children have been born into over-policed communities.
"Your presence today is very important because if actions do not follow your apology, then what hope do we have? Your apology must bring real change. The Yoorrook Justice Commission asks for an undertaking today that Victoria Police protect Aboriginal communities and families and respect our culture and human rights."
Mr Patton said he was "extremely concerned" that Aboriginal people in Victoria continued to report encounters with police involving racism, unconscious bias and unequal application of discretionary powers.
He also expressed concern about low substantiation rates of complaints by Aboriginal people the disproportionately low numbers of cautions given to alleged Indigenous youth offenders and low levels of confidence Indigenous Victorians have in making complaints to Victoria Police.
"The facts and matters in my statement are evidence that Victoria Police accepts that deficiencies remain and that, while we have been taking wide-ranging action, we still have work to do," Mr Patton said.
"As Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police, I will not tolerate bias, racism or unequal exercise of discretionary powers toward Aboriginal people [or anyone else]."


Is there a difference between linear array 3dB beam width and linear array bearing resolution?
 - $\begingroup$ A little more context is suggested to help readers answer your question $\endgroup$ – Laurent Duval Apr 6 '17 at 12:22
The answer will be NO, but to be precise especially in case of conventional beam forming.
Theoretical Derivation
The antenna electric field pattern of array antenna can be given by
where N is the number of antenna elements
d is the spacing between antenna elements
In order to find the beamwidth (3 dB), the above equation should be equated to and solve for
The solution will come to be as
where D is the total aperture distance and can be approximated as
For spacing of the equation simplifies and can be approximated as
Thus beam width of planar antenna can be represented as
Angular Resolution Using FFT Over Antenna Elements
In order the prove the lemma that the angular resolution obtained by performing the FFT across antenna dimension equals to the beamwidth of the antenna array, we have to obtain the angular resolution using FFT.
The below diagram shows the frequency obtained due to path difference between the antenna elements which occurred due to the angle of arrival other than the broadside angle
enter image description here
The frequency resolution using FFT can be represented as where N is the number of samples but in our case it is equal to number of antenna elements.
The angular resolution can be found by equating the difference in frequency of different angles and
The frequency resolution becomes:
Solving we get and if we put and we get the same resolution as the beamwidth i.e
Thus for summarizing the above discussion using FFT we can only achieve the max angular resolution equals to the beamwidth of the antenna array which is equal to angular resolution = antenna array beamwidth = 2/N
Kindly note that this equality is true for the case of conventional beam forming only, there exist also some advance beam former where your angular resolution is better than the 3db beam width
This is the same answer which I provided on ULA beamwidth and angular resolution, might this will be helpful.

New Codex Entry – Ornan's Dark Plate
Ornan's Dark Plate is a powerful artifact that used to belong to a zealotic warlord, worshipping a God lost to history.
Age of Rifts II
Aside from its owner, it is unknown who forged this ancient armor or how it was imbued with the powerful dark magic that still courses dimly through its interlocking chains. This mail was able to set the leathers of adventurers into a blaze, or superheat a knight's armor to fuse with their own flesh. At the same time, granting the wearer the ability to resist its radiant light. During the Second Age of Rifts however, or some time prior, Ornan was killed by a worshipper of Urgathoa. Their slayer donned the mail, and it became a staple of the legends that made many fear their presence.
Age of Order
After the Age of Exile, this worshipper seemingly vanished from the Ancient World, entrusting various bits and pieces of his legacy to various friends, for a time this plate rested in the hands of a long lasting group known for its vast wealth of other numerous artifacts. They locked it away in the deepest reaches of their vaults, hoping to have the worshippers legacy archived forever.
Age of Ruin
The mail was retrieved from its vault by an unknown interloper, and found a new owner. Its current whereabouts are unknown.

Six big differences between international air transport and international air express
Quốc tế air transport refers to the whole process of logistics, information stream realized, and control management from the aircraft to the airport of the destination, and then the carrier unloads the goods from the plane to the receiver. Many friends consider international air transport and air express as the same. Actually, they are in great distinction. Then the Flydis Logistic Co., Ltd will explain the differences according to six points.
The subject of transportation
The international express's subject is mainly the freight forwarding companies, such as DHL，UPS，FedEx，TNT，EMS, and other suppliers of international express service. The packages we plan to post are delivered to the destination by the forwarder. But we often contact our agency of international transport first and the latter, the forwarding agent.
The scope of service
Generally, international air transport can only deliver to the airport. After arriving at the airport, the other affairs are dealt with by the customer or his transport company. But the air express is always delivered to the door. But what should pay attention to is that international express doesn't include customs clearance of destination but the assistance of customs clearance. If there is a problem with customs clearance, it needs the receiver's help.
International express service includes the agency service of the domestic export declaration but no the customs declaration of destination and the delivery of packages with the customs declaration of destination.
International air transport doesn't include the handle of customs clearance. The customer needs to go to the airport and claim the goods for customs clearance. And it doesn't include the customs duty and tax of the destination country. Unless the air transport service project, the goods will not be delivered to the door.
Time limit
The deadlines of international air transport and express are almost the same, about several days. Which one is faster depends on the destination. Ví dụ, international air transport should be faster to Tokyo. To this day, the time limit is relative to these three factors as follow:
 1. The efficiency and strength of the airline.
 2. The flight timetable in the airport.
 3. The speed of customs clearance to the destination.
Charge mode
The calculation of international air transport cost is based on the formula, length×width×height/6000. And the length, chiều rộng, height are all measured in centimeters. Large quantities of goods are called dumping and are also known as foam goods. For instance, the Nano pillows' actual weight is 5 kilograms, but the volume weight is 28 kilograms.
Trace cargo mode
You can trace and inquire about the corresponding company website through the odd provided by international express. For international air transport, you can inquire on the airline website by the number of bills of lading.
Different requirements of weight
International air transport services can deliver any weight. But the weight of a single package of international express should not surpass 69kg, which is called oversized goods.

Food poverty - defined as the inability to access a nutritionally adequate diet - is a significant issue for many people on the island of Ireland.
Although the cost of healthy food is a major factor, the inability to access to a healthy diet is a complex issue that incorporates education, transport, literacy, culture and environmental planning. Food poverty is yet another outcome of broader determinants of health, such as poor housing, social exclusion and high crime.
With other stakeholders on the island, safefood is addressing the issue of food poverty through advocacy, building the evidence base and supporting community initiatives. Examples of this include:

This unremarkable piece of paper belongs to a chapter in one of the most extraordinary lives of the 20th century.
It is the recently discovered landing card issued to Albert Einstein in 1933 when he arrived in Britain after fleeing Nazi Germany.
On Tuesday the card went on public display for the first time at the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool, having been stored away for nearly 80 years at Heathrow Airport.
"We were keen on acquiring any documents relating to immigration but were stunned to find paperwork relating to such a prominent historical figure as Albert Einstein," Lucy Gardner, curator of the exhibition about customs and immigration.
The document brings proof that Einstein arrived in Dover on 26 May 1933 after sailing from Ostende in Belgium. The "professor" states that he was heading for Oxford, a city he had visited previously during stays at Christ Church College.
Einstein lists his nationality as Swiss having renounced his German citizenship only weeks earlier in angry reaction to Nazi policies. In April 1933 Hitler's party had passed a law barring Jews from holding any official positions, including teaching at universities. And during a visiting professorship at the California Institute of Technology, Einstein – who was Jewish by birth – had learned that his name had been added to a list of Nazi assassination targets.
Upon his return to Europe Einstein resided in Belgium for a brief time before sailing to Britain. Shortly afterwards, Einstein took up his position at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton an affiliation that lasted until his death in 1955.
"This tiny piece of paper brings to life Einstein's escape from the Nazis to England," said Gardner.

Over an eight year period four beaches on San Salvador Island, Bahamas have been monitored with respect to their dynamic erosion and depositional processes. Beach profiles were made and evidence of two major hurricane events can be seen over the monitoring period. The prevailing easterly trade winds play a major role in the beach dynamics of San Salvador. East Beach and French Bay are located on the windward side of the island; however extensive barrier reefs may be mitigating the wave energy produced from the trade winds. Sandy Point and Rocky Point are located on the leeward sides of the island and are thus subjected to less stress from the trade winds. However, during the winter months, cold fronts from the northwest become the major contributors to the sediment dynamics of these two beaches.

According to a study done by researchers at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, the longer it takes a woman to get pregnant, the greater her chances of having a boy.
See, one reason why some women have trouble conceiving is that the mucous around their cervix is extra thick. That makes it harder for sperm to reach the egg. Now, the Y chromosome, which is the one that makes boys, contains less DNA than the X chromosome, which makes girls. This means that sperm that contain a Y chromosome are a bit lighter than sperm with two X chromosomes.
The lighter, Y chromosome carrying sperm are faster and better at swimming through thick cervical mucous. At least the Y chromosome carrying sperm may have a better shot at getting through the mucous and reaching the egg. So, according to the study, it may be the case that women who take a long time to get pregnant because of thick mucous have a better chance of having a boy.

text: To make mosquito netting, using a plastic bag, you will need the following: a butane torch or a campfire, a lathe, thumbtacks, and a plastic bags. The holes need to be 2 mm or less. Heat up the lathe. Lay the plastic bag on a flat and protected surface. Run the heated lathe over the plastic bag. Try to get the rows really close, without getting too close or overlapping. Overlapping will cause the holes to be larger. Also, be careful not to let it slide along, which would cause bigger holes. Check the size of the holes. If there are holes that are too big, then you can patch them, with plastic, waxed paper, and an iron, in order to make an iron on patch. Do this process to all of the bags. Then, using the patch method to fuse the bags together.

Morbilliform drug reaction
Author: Dr Delwyn Dyall-Smith FACD, Dermatologist, Australia, 2009. Updated by A/Prof Amanda Oakley, January 2016.
Morbilliform drug reaction — codes and concepts
open
What is morbilliform drug reaction?
Morbilliform drug eruption is the most common form of drug eruption. Many drugs can trigger this allergic reaction, but antibiotics are the most common group. The eruption may resemble exanthems caused by viral and bacterial infections.
 - A morbilliform skin rash in an adult is usually due to a drug.
 - In a child, it is more likely to be viral in origin.
Morbilliform drug eruption is also called maculopapular drug eruption, exanthematous drug eruption and maculopapular exanthem.
Morbilliform drug eruption
Who gets morbilliform drug eruption?
About 2% of prescriptions of new drugs cause a drug eruption. About 95% of these are morbilliform drug eruptions.
They mainly affect people prescribed beta-lactam antibiotics (penicillins, cephalosporins), sulfonamides, allopurinol, anti-epileptic drugs and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Numerous other drugs have been reported to cause morbilliform drug eruptions, including herbal and natural therapies.
Predisposing factors include:
What causes morbilliform drug eruption?
Morbilliform drug eruption is a form of allergic reaction. It is mediated by cytotoxic T-cells and classified as a Type IV immune reaction. The target of attack may be drug, a metabolite of the drug, or a protein bonded to the drug. Inflammation follows the release of cytokines and other effector immune cells.
What are the clinical features of morbilliform drug eruption?
On the first occasion, a morbilliform rash usually appears 1–2 weeks after starting the drug, but it may occur up to 1 week after stopping it. On re-exposure to the causative (or related) drug, skin lesions appear within 1–3 days. It is very rare for a drug that has been taken for months or years to cause a morbilliform drug eruption.
Morbilliform drug eruption usually first appears on the trunk and then spreads to the limbs and neck. The distribution is bilateral and symmetrical.
The primary lesion is a pink-to-red flat macule or papule.
 - Annular, targetoid, urticaria-like or polymorphous morphology may occur.
 - Lesions mostly blanch with pressure but may be non-blanchable (purpuric) on the lower legs.
 - Discrete lesions may merge together to form large erythematous patches or plaques.
 - Axilla, groin, hands and feet are usually spared.
 - Paradoxical prominent rash in axillae and groins may be due to symmetrical drug related intertriginous and flexural exanthem (SDRIFE)
 - Mucous membranes, hair and nails are not affected in uncomplicated drug eruptions.
The rash may be associated with a mild fever and itch. As it improves, the redness dies away and the surface skin peels off.
What are the complications of morbilliform drug eruption?
In the early phase, it may not be possible to clinically distinguish an uncomplicated morbilliform eruption from other more serious cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR). These are:
Patients with the following symptoms/signs should be hospitalised for specialist assessment and supportive care.
 - Erythroderma (whole-body involvement)
 - High fever or significant malaise
 - Any mucosal involvement
 - Skin tenderness
 - Blistering
 - Pustules
 - Palpable purpura
 - Evidence of other organ involvement (eg liver, kidneys, lungs, blood)
How is morbilliform drug eruption diagnosed?
A strong clinical suspicion of morbilliform drug eruption depends on:
 - Typical exanthematous rash
 - Recently introduced medication
To identify the possible causative drug, a drug calendar, including all prescribed and over-the counter products, may be helpful. The starting date of each new drug is documented together with the onset of the rash. The calendar must extend back at least 2 weeks and up to one month. Drugs can then be classified as unlikely or likely causes based on:
 - Time relative to onset of the rash
 - The specific drug; some drugs can be excluded as rarely causing allergy
 - Patient's past experience with other drugs in the same class
There are no routine tests to make the diagnosis or to identify the culprit drug. Differential diagnosis includes measles, rubella, scarlet fever, non-specific toxic erythema associated with infection, Kawasaki disease, connective tissue disease and acute graft-versus-host disease.
Tests are not usually necessary if the cause has been identified and stopped, the rash is mild and the patient is well. They may include:
 - Routine blood count, liver and kidney function tests, C-reactive protein
 - Serology for infections that can cause similar rashes
 - Possible skin biopsy, which shows interface dermatitis, mixed perivascular infiltration and other histopathological features.
Eosinophilia is supportive but not diagnostic. Further investigations will depend on clinical features, progress of the patient, and the results of the initial tests.
What is the treatment for morbilliform drug eruption?
The most important thing is to identify the causative drug and if possible, stop it. If the reaction is mild, and the drug is essential and not replaceable, obtain a specialist opinion whether it is safe to continue the drug before doing so.
How can morbilliform drug eruption be prevented?
It is not possible to completely prevent morbilliform eruptions. Prescribers must be vigilant. Their incidence may be reduced by:
 - Minimising prescriptions for antibiotics
 - Educating the patient about the cause of their rash and the danger of re-exposure to the same medication
 - Adding the reaction to the medical record alerts
What is the outlook for morbilliform drug eruption?
If the causative drug is ceased, the rash begins to improve within 48 hours and clears within 1–2 weeks.
If the drug is continued, the rash may:
 - Resolve despite continued exposure to the drug
 - Persist without change
 - Progress to erythroderma

Sodom and Gomorrah
What was the reality of polytheism (Shirk) for the nation of Lot?
[The title image is a depiction of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by the dramatic artist John Martin (_PHONE_)] Executive Summary Many people are of the view that the idea of 'worshipping Allah', cannot be understood as being anything other than undertaking a set limited number of rituals. Others maintain that monotheism (Tawḥeed) and polytheism (Shirk) solely concern graves, amulets, pictures and wizardry. Yet the truth of the matter

The Proto-Celtic language, also called Common Celtic, is the reconstructed ancestor language of all the known Celtic languages. Its lexis can be confidently reconstructed on the basis of the comparative method of historical linguistics. As Celtic is a branch of the Indo-European language family, Proto-Celtic is a descendant of the Proto-Indo-European language. According to one theory, Celtic may be closest to the Italic languages, which together form an Italo-Celtic branch. The earliest archaeological culture that may justifiably be considered as Proto-Celtic is the Late Bronze Age Urnfield culture of Central Europe from the last quarter of the second millennium BC. By the Iron Age Hallstatt culture of around 800 BC, these people had become fully Celtic.

Case 1: Workers has different rates
Work rate × Time to finish the job = 1 job done
Work rate = (1 job done) / (Time to finish the job)
Time of doing the job = (1 job done) / (Work rate)
Albert can finish a job in A days
Bryan can finish the same job in B days
Carlo can undo the job in C days
1/A = rate of Albert
1/B = rate of Bryan
1/C = rate of Carlo
Albert and Bryan work together until the job is done: (1/A + 1/B)t = 1
Albert is doing the job while Carlo is undoing it until the job is done: (1/A - 1/C)t = 1
Lejon can finish a job in 6 hours while Romel can do the same job in 3 hours. Working together, how many hours can they finish the job?
Case 2: Workers has equal rates
Work load = no. of workers × time to finish the job
Work done = no. of workers × time of doing the job
To finish the job
Work done = Work load
If a job can be done by 10 workers in 5 hours, the work load is 10(5) = 50 man-hours. If 4 workers is doing the job for 6 hours, the work done is 4(6) = 24 man-hours. A remaining of 50 - 24 = 26 man-hours of work still needs to be done.
Eleven men could finish the job in 15 days. Five men started the job and four men were added at the beginning of the sixth day. How many days will it take them to finish the job?

Urge Surfing: Riding Out the Craving
urge surfing and meditation
They walked across the sand in the early morning light, surfboards under their arms. They strode into the surf. As the water grew deeper, they stretched out on their boards and paddled out. They turned to face the shore, waiting for a wave. A wave came, and they rode it to shore, feeling the ocean's power beneath them.
Surfing is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. In 2019, the International Surfing Association estimated that 35 million people worldwide surfed and anticipated that the number would rise. Surfing has captured our imaginations and been the subject or backdrop for many movies and songs. It has also inspired a method called "urge surfing" to "ride out" a craving.
Background of "Urge Surfing"
"Urge surfing" is a type of mini-meditation. The term is ascribed to G. Alan Marlatt, Ph.D., founder and director of the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at the University of Washington.
According to Marlatt's interview in the magazine Inquiring Mind, Marlatt worked with a man who wanted to quit smoking. The man happened to be a surfer, so Marlatt used surfing terminology in conversation with the man. Marlatt explained that urges, like ocean waves, grow bigger and bigger as they near the shore, and then they dissipate. Urges don't last forever, and neither do waves; both dissipate. The smoker was learning to meditate as part of the center's program; Marlatt encouraged him to think of his breath as a surfboard that would enable him to "ride out" the urge. The smoker used the surfing analogy as he worked to ride out the urge to smoke, and after about five weeks, he had stopped smoking completely.
How to Urge Surf
If you want to try urge surfing, remember that it is a form of mindfulness. Urges will pass by themselves, but urge surfing gives you a different way of outlasting the craving.
As you begin to experience an urge for whatever substance or behavior you have given up, imagine that the urge is a wave in the ocean that will start, crest, and subside. Urges generally start small before growing in size or strength and then go away. To practice urge surfing the next time a craving comes up, follow the steps below:
 - Sit quietly and comfortably
 - Observe your breath without trying to change it
 - Notice your thoughts
 - Bring your attention back to your breath without judging, feeding, or fighting your thoughts
 - Notice where the craving affects your body. Where in your body are you experiencing the craving?
 - Bring your attention to an area of the body where you feel the craving and notice what is happening in your body; see if these bodily sensations change as you inhale or exhale
 - Bring your attention to another part of your body where you are feeling the urge and repeat the process
 - Be curious about the urge of craving and how it changes
Why You Should Practice Urge Surfing
Urge surfing is another tool to use in maintaining sobriety. The key to urge surfing is that instead of wishing the craving would go away, trying to suppress the craving, or fighting the urge, you are exploring the urge; you are becoming curious about the urge. You are going into the urge and are interested in the experience. As you study the craving and changes in it over time, you might find that the urge subsides.
In the interview with Marlatt that appeared in Inquiring Mind, he described urges and cravings from a Buddhist perspective. He said that you cannot eliminate urges and cravings. They will happen, and you can find a way of recognizing what's happening inside as you experience the cravings. By "riding the urge out," you can accept the urge without giving in to your cravings.
As you practice urge surfing more, you will find that urges don't last as long. If you fight an urge, however, you are giving it more energy or feeding it. Trying to fight a craving has been likened to trying to stop a wave or a waterfall.
Likewise, we are sometimes told not to think about whatever it is we are craving. The more you try not to think about something, like eating chocolate cake, the more you think about eating chocolate cake.
Consider our surfers from the opening of this post. They didn't fight the wave, and they didn't try to suppress or ignore the wave. Instead, they went with the wave. They used the immense power of the ocean to get them to the shore.
As people go through your journey of recovery, they will need to deal with urges and cravings. "Urge surfing" is another tool to use to maintain sobriety.

Why are multiparous women more at risk of uterine rupture?
A multiparous woman is one who has previously given birth to at least one baby after 28 weeks of gestation. The gestational age is significant, because by 28 weeks the fetus will have reached a substantial size and weight, so the multiparous woman's uterus will already have been stretched. One result of this stretching is that the delivery is expected to be easier in subsequent pregnancies – which is, indeed, usually the case. Despite this fact, multiparous women are more likely than primiparous (first-time) mothers to experience uterine rupture if their labour is obstructed.
Can you suggest a reason for this unexpected finding?
One reason is that first-time mothers do not have a previous history of complicated delivery, whereas a woman who has given birth before may have already had complications which caused scarring of the uterus or other parts of the birth canal. Such scarring is a risk factor for a ruptured uterus.

On this day: Attack on the 405 bus
July 6 1989: Terror on the road to Jerusalem
Fourteen people were killed in an incident that has since been described as the first suicide attack on Israelis.
The attack, which also left 27 people with injuries, occurred on the number 405 bus from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The driver had reached the junction after the Israeli Arab village of Abu Ghosh, when a man seized the steering wheel and began shouting in Arabic.
He pulled the bus to the right and, despite a struggle with the driver, succeeded in making it go over the side of a cliff.
Among those killed were a Canadian schoolgirl and a 15-year-old from Jerusalem, whose father had been injured in a petrol bomb ten years earlier. The perpetrator was later identified as a 25-year-old Arab from a refugee camp. He was hospitalised and subsequently convicted of murder, hijacking and terrorism.
What happened prompted immense anger in Israel, with a number of retaliatory incidents, which Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir condemned as a "worrying phenomenon".
President Chaim Herzog said of the attack: "This tragic incident reminds that the fight against terror in our country has not ended."
The attack had another lasting impact – it prompted the creation of Israel's Orthodox disaster response organisation ZAKA, after yeshiva student Meshi Zahav was one of the first on the bloody scene. He later said of what he saw that it was "chilling and horrifying chaos".
What the JC said: The bus had just begun picking up speed on the long, straight stretch of the road after the junction at the Arab village of Abu Ghosh [which sided with Israel in the War of Independence in 1948], when an Arab passenger went up to the driver and wrenched the steering wheel to the right, sending the bus careering into a ravine. As the bus rolled over, finishing up on its roof and catching fire, most of the passengers were thrown out.
