6 Things You Should Know About "Perjury" Laws
This article explains the law in California
Under California Penal Code 118 pc, perjury is when you intentionally provide false information that you know to be false while you are under oath1.
How Does The Prosecutor Prove Perjury?
To prove that someone is guilty of perjury, the prosecutor has to prove the following facts or elements2:
 - You took an oath to provide3 information in a truthful manner.
 - You willfully4 stated that the information was true knowing that it was in fact false.
 - The information was material5
 - When you made the statement, you intended to testify falsely while under oath6
 - When the information is in a form of a declaration, certification, or deposition, the defendant signed and delivered his/her declaration/deposition/certificate to someone else intending that it be circulated or published as true.7
Examples Of Perjury
 - You typed up a declaration per your lawyer's request that contained information that you knew to be false even though you signed the declaration under the penalty of perjury.
 - You were a witness at a friend's homicide trial where you knowingly and intentionally testified falsely while under oath, providing an alibi for your friend.
 - You are a notary public who authenticated a document you knew was forged under the penalty of perjury.
 - You are a defendant in an hit and run accident and during a deposition, you falsely testified under oath that when you approached the plaintiff's car after the accident, you detected a strong smell of marijuana; you in fact knew that this was not the case.
Who Can Be Charged With Penal Code 118?
If you were under oath to tell the truth in oral or written form but you knowingly provided false information, and in the case of information in written form (i.e. declaration), you intended the information to be circulated or publicized to others, you can be charged with perjury under penal code 118.
You are the passenger in a vehicle that has been the cause of an accident. The driver of the vehicle flees the scene of the crime and commits a violation of vehicle code 20002 VC – Hit and Run.
During a trial you tell the court under oath that he did not hit the vehicle in question. Under this scenario, you may be guilty of perjury.
Legal Defenses to Perjury Charges
There are several defenses that an attorney can assert to fight a charge of perjury under penal code 118 pc.
Mistake Or Misunderstanding
Because one of the elements is that you willfully make a false statement, if you honestly but mistakenly believed your statement to be true, you attorney can argue this defense.8
You Attempted to Correct a False Statement
If you attempted to correct the statement after it was made, that attempt may show that you did not intend to provide false information.9
There was Insufficient Evidence Of Perjury
Where the only proof of the falsity of your statement is the testimony of one other witness which contradicts your statement, it is insufficient to prove perjury.10
However, distinguish this from such evidence emanating from your own statement. In other words, if the statement is false based in whole or in part on your own testimony, the jury can conclude that such evidence is sufficient to establish perjury.
If you had attempted to dissuade that witness you could be charged with dissuading a witness or victim under california penal code 136.1
What Are The Penalties & Punishment For Perjury?
Perjury is a felony offense in California, so the penalties are harsh.
The judge has discretion to issue the penalty how he sees fit based on the following factors:
 - Seriousness of your perjury,
 - Your criminal record,
 - Whether your perjury harmed another person.
The judge can issue any of the following penalties:
If your perjury caused another individual to be convicted and executed, you could be found guilty of what's called "aggravated perjury" which is punishable by a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole, or a death sentence.

Landrum, a marketing specialist who wrote a study of male entrepreneurs, Profiles of Genius, here turns his attention to 13 successful women he views as geniuses. Limited to those who developed original and influential concepts during the past 40 years and did not inherit or marry into their profession, Landrum's choices are drawn from diverse fields, including fashion (Liz Claiborne and Lillian Vernon), politics (Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher), entertainment (Madonna and Oprah Winfrey) and philosophy (Ayn Rand). The author's analysis of the factors that supposedly account for his subjects' abilities are presented in a frequently oversimplified pop psychology format. Landrum argues that these women generally are born first among their siblings, had self-employed fathers, and attended all-girls schools. Common character traits include perfectionism, high self-esteem, independence and charisma. It is unclear whether the women were chosen to fit Landrum's model or vise versa. (July)

INTRODUCING BRAND NEW FLOWER
-10 YEARS IN THE MAKING
New Focal Flower
Unique Flower Shape
We looked up a t the night sky. A new star was looking back.
When we look up at the stars, we're looking at history. The stars are ancient, the same ones people saw centuries ago, and the same ones people will see centuries from today. We see constellations and astrological signs.
We can use the stars to locate ourselves in the world. The stars are a mystery, and yet we feel we know them, and every so often, after a lifetime of searching, a new one is discovered.
A First-of-its-kind Flower, realized by the passion and expertise of the world's best growers.
Unmatched ambition means an unprecedent lifespan. This Flower will last until the next full moon.
Introducing the Astronova, a unique flower ten years in the making, and well worth the wait. Beauty takes time.
Nature finds a way. Science opens up new possibilities.
We're just getting started.
Astronova was inspired by the cosmos and brought into being by the combined exports the world's two foremost growers.
With a longer vase life than any Flower before it, and a brightness reminiscent of the night sky, it is our greatest achievement yet.
More colors, more possibilities still to come.
We went back in time to collect musical notes, brushstrokes, and colors from the Baroque era, combining them to create something unique.
Dark and bright. Classic and bold. Royal Van Zanten and Queen's Flowers. Contrast becomes balance. Ornate becomes simple. A dream becomes a flower.
Ten Years in the Making
What does ten years in the making mean?
It means unwavering attention to detail, impassioned and creative breeding, and a commitment to consumer value. A collective human touch has brought the best out of nature.
What do you get when you combine the premier breeders of Europe and South America? Whether in the Netherlands, Colombia, or Africa, the people at Royal Van Zanten and Queen's put untold amounts of time and care into making Astronova a reality. This process has been a privilege for both Royal Van Zanten and Queen's, and it is everyone's hope that Astronova marks the beginning of a sustained partnership."

1. A sphere with radius 2 () has its cylindrical core of radius 1 removed (), what is the volume of the resultant solid?
a) Use cylindrical coordinates to find the volume of the resultant solid.
b) Use spherical coordinates to find the volume of the resultant solid.
For a) I just used cylindrical coordinates to find the volume of the cylinder, then used which is the volume of the sphere then minus the volume of the cylinder from it.
For b) I used spherical coordinates to find the volume of the sphere, then used which is the volume of the cylinder, then used the volume of sphere minus the volume of cylinder.
Now what I am wondering is... is that the right way to interpret the question? Or does the question mean use cylindrical coordinates ONLY to work out the volume? If so... how do I do that? Cause I thought as long as I used cylindrical coordinates to find the volume that's fine.
Same goes for b)
2.. Verify the Divergence Theorem by showing where S is the union of the surfaces and and E is the solid encompassed by those 2 surfaces.
Now I can evaluate the LHS which in spherical coordinates is given by: (btw is this triple integral right? As in did I set it up right, not the answer )
Now how do I evaluate the RHS for the surface integral over the surface (without a calculator)... it's almost impossible to do by hand after you compute where u and v are x and y respectively.
3. Evaluate by making the transformation and
I swear you can NOT do this question without a CAS.
After sketching on the u-v plane (with u as the vertical axis) we get the region to be the region between and (I've checked this many times)
Now the Jacobian is and after making the transformations we can evaluate the integral in the u-v plane with:
Now it's impossible to integrate that without a calculator.
Then we can try reverse the order of the integral so we get a dudv instead of dvdu, it's also unable to be integrated by hand (try it yourself). So is there ANYWAY to do this question by hand?

10 ways to change your life
by Dr. Ilona L. Tobin
Too often we take care of other people's needs, shunning activities that have the most meaning for us. Here are 10 ways to take back your life.
 1. Create goals. Get clear on what you really want, write it down and start to take action toward your goals.
 1. Commit to your own agenda. As much as possible, before helping others each day, complete the tasks that move you toward your goals.
 2. Set boundaries. When you heed your own agenda, you will likely need to set boundaries with the people in your life.
 3. Say no when you want to. Respecting your true desires is liberating.
 4. Do something you've always wanted to do. Fulfilling long-held wishes brings joy and empowerment.
 5. Seek balance. Which of these aspects need attention: social/family, spiritual/creative, career or health?
 6. Eat well and exercise. Take charge of your energy by treating your body well.
 7. Clear clutter. Creating an orderly and beautiful physical environment positively affects our sense of internal order and makes space for the new.
 8. Pursue completion. Avoiding unfinished tasks, things that remain unsaid and relationships that need closure, hijacks our thoughts and saps our energy.
 9. Get support/find allies. Get help processing uncomfortable feelings and seek friendships with people who appreciate and support your taking charge of your life

Validation Using Imperfect Reference Instruments (Comparative or Relative Validation)
Collecting unbiased reference intake data is logistically and economically difficult. Therefore, instead of using unbiased reference measures, studies seeking to assess the [glossary term:] validity of self-report instruments commonly use imperfect references (e.g., 24HR or [glossary term:] food record) that have some systematic [glossary term:] bias, but less than that in the instrument being validated. However, data collected using imperfect [glossary term:] reference instruments contain error, including [glossary term:] intake-related bias, that may be correlated with error in the main instrument. Using them in statistical models under the assumption that they meet the requirements of an unbiased reference may result in inflated estimates of correlation coefficients between the main instrument and true usual intakes and [glossary term:] attenuation factors that are more optimistic than those obtained using [glossary term:] recovery biomarkers. Results of comparative or [glossary term:] relative validation studies must therefore be interpreted with caution (see Interpretation of Validation Studies).
Validation with an imperfect reference instrument is not typically done for 24HRs and food records because there are no other self-report instruments that are thought to be superior (i.e., less biased) and one is not a reasonable reference instrument for the other. The following are a few important design and analysis considerations for conducting validation studies of FFQs or screeners as the main instrument using an imperfect reference instrument:
 - As noted above, data from multiple administrations (at least two) of each instrument is needed to assess [glossary term:] within-person random error (also known as within-person variability). Knowledge of the within-person random error is essential for estimating the correlation coefficient between self-reported and true usual intakes.
 - Include two administrations of an FFQ or screener before and after at least two administrations of the reference instrument, though this number and order of administrations is not always feasible. Because FFQs and screeners query past intake (e.g., past year), it is preferable that at least one administration of the reference instrument be collected before one administration of an FFQ or screener to allow for reporting of intakes during the same time period.
 - Analyses should examine validity of energy-adjusted measures in addition to absolute intakes, as biomarker-based validation studies have shown that [glossary term:] energy adjustment (Learn More about Energy Adjustment) tends to improve attenuation factors and correlation coefficients for FFQs.
[glossary term:] Concentration biomarkers are also sometimes used as [glossary term:] reference instruments in validation studies, although they too are imperfect reference instruments. In general, analyses using concentration biomarkers consist of simple correlations between biomarker-based and self-reported estimates of intake or partial correlations that can be adjusted for [glossary term:] covariates of interest. Because concentration biomarkers do not measure dietary intake directly, and are subject to complex metabolic regulatory controls, such studies are of limited value.
The method of triads also has been used to assess the validity of dietary assessment instruments. In this method, information about intake of a given dietary constituent (e.g., beta-carotene) is modeled using three different measures (e.g., FFQ, 24HR, and concentration biomarker). In applying this model, two assumptions are made: 1) the three measurements are linearly related to true [glossary term:] usual dietary intake; and 2) given [glossary term:] true intake, errors in the three measurements are independent of each other. Under these assumptions, the correlation between any of the three measurements and true intake can be estimated [10]. When the measurements include two measures of [glossary term:] self-reported intake, such as an FFQ and a 24HR, however, the assumption of independence between their errors given true intake is unrealistic in many situations [11]. In addition, when the measurements include self-reported intake and concentration biomarkers, the potential dependency of both on factors, such as body mass index or smoking, may lead to correlations between their errors. In such situations, estimates of correlations between the instruments and true usual intake based on the method of triads will be biased.


a unique enough name so that it is the only one returned in the search.
The last CLI script created by the shell script pins the initial snapshot to the new drift definition. A snapshot, as the name implies, is a picture of the current settings of the base directory. Pinning a snapshot to a definition sets a baseline, or comparison, for the agent to use to evaluate drift. A pinned snapshot is a specific and identified configuration that must be maintained (as opposed to rolling changes).
Once the snapshot is pinned, this script then resets the drift definition configuration so that it uses a longer (more realistic) interval between scans.
snapshot() {
cat <<- _EOF_
//find the resource
rcrit = ResourceCriteria()
var resources = ResourceManager.findResourcesByCriteria(rcrit)
var res = resources.get(0)
//find the new drift definition
criteria = DriftDefinitionCriteria()
def = DriftManager.findDriftDefinitionsByCriteria(criteria)
definition = def.get(0)
// it is necessary to redefine the complete configuration when you're
// resetting the interval or the other values will be overwritten with default
// or set to null
definition.basedir = basedir
definition.name = '$NAME'
// there can be multiple exclude statements made, as desired
// pin to the initial snapshot, which is version 0
// this gets the most recent snapshot if that is the better version to use
// snap = DriftManager.getSnapshot(DriftSnapshotRequest(definition.id))
The last part of the script actually runs all of the defined JBoss ON CLI scripts and sets up both the drift definition and the bundle definition (as a backup in case any drift is detected).
There are two system commands sandwiched between the JBoss ON CLI scripts. The first is the zip commands to create the bundle archive. The second is a sleep command which pauses the script to give the JBoss ON agent time to collect the initial snapshot for drift before attempting to pin the snapshot.
# create the drift definition
driftDef > $SCRIPTS/driftDef.js
$CLI $OPTS -f $SCRIPTS/driftDef.js
# create the recipe file and then zip up the
# drift base directory to make the bundle archive
deploy > /deploy.xml
zip $BUNDLE $ARCHIVE /deploy.xml
# create the bundle from the recipe and archive
# and then create the bundle definition
createBundle > $SCRIPTS/createBundle.js
$CLI $OPTS -f $SCRIPTS/createBundle.js
# sleep to allow the server to get the first snapshot
# this only sleeps for a minute, but it really depends on your environment
# whether that is long enough
sleep 1m
# this pins the new snapshot to the new drift definition
# and then changes the drift interval to the longer, variable-specified
# value
snapshot > $SCRIPTS/snapshot.js
$CLI $OPTS -f $SCRIPTS/snapshot.js
There is no error handling in this shell script. If any step fails, like the initial snapshot taking longer than the sleep period, there is no indication of what went wrong aside from malformed drift or bundle configuration.
9.3. Remedying Drift
To remediate drift, define an alert in the UI and upload a CLI script which can be run, automatically, whenever drift is detected. All the script has to do is deploy the backup bundle to the resource, and there are several different ways to do that.
This example goes through all the basic steps: it pulls the resource information from the alert, searches for the bundle version, and then deploys it to the resource. One nifty thing about this script is that it writes a log file, capturing the alert information that triggered the remediation.
This script can be uploaded directly when the alert definition is created. Before uploading the script, be sure to set the variables to the bundle destination and bundle version that you created when the drift definition was set up.
// - The 'alert' variable is seeded by the alert sender
var bundleDestinationName = 'drift destination'
var bundleVersion = 1.0
var logFile = '/tmp/alert-cli-demo/logs/alert-' + alert.id + '.log'
// Log what we're doing to a file tied to the fired alert id
var e = exporter
e.setTarget( 'raw', logFile )
// Dump the alert
e.write( alert )
// get a proxy for the alerted-on Resource
var alertResource = ProxyFactory.getResource(alert.alertDefinition.resource.id)
// Dump the resource
e.write( " " )
e.write( alertResource )
// Remediate file
// Find the Bundle Destination
var destCrit = new BundleDestinationCriteria()
destCrit.addFilterName( bundleDestinationName )
var result = BundleManager.findBundleDestinationsByCriteria( destCrit )
var dest = result.get( 0 )
// Find the Bundle Version
var versionCrit = new BundleVersionCriteria()
versionCrit.addFilterVersion( bundleVersion )
result = BundleManager.findBundleVersionsByCriteria( versionCrit )
var ver = result.get( 0 )
// Create a new Deployment for the bundle version and the destination
var deployment = BundleManager.createBundleDeployment(ver.getId(), dest.getId(),'remediate drift', new Configuration())
// Schedule a clean deploy of the deployment. This will wipe out the edited file and lay down a clean copy
BundleManager.scheduleBundleDeployment(deployment.getId(), true)
e.write( " " )

There is actually a difference between the two!
With reactions, they occur because of a behavior. Think about it, as a parent or maybe you were told this as a child-if someone hits you, you hit them back. We aren't here to dispute if that's a good reaction or not-but ultimately, it's a reaction to a behavior. A response is a reply. If someone hits a child, we tell them to respond by going to the teacher or telling a trusted adult.
A reaction is immediate, a response is intentional. A reaction encourages us to act based off of emotions or feelings. A response encourages us to think before moving.
The Lord exhorts believers to respond. Turn the other cheek. Love. Be slow to speak, quick to listen. These are all responses. These responses draw us to this important truth:
Ultimately, our flesh is designed to react. It is designed to act with emotion. It is designed to feel good about reactions. But intentional responses build our spirit man! Our flesh reacts, our spirit responds.
We know it feels fleshly good to react but we need to respond! We need to respond to the Father. We need to respond to those who are hurting-they tend to lash out. We need to respond to our enemies-do good to those who hurt you. We need to respond to hate with love-love conquers all!
Choose this day, what will you do: Will you react or will you respond? Which choice will let your gentleness be evident to all?
Peace and Blessings

How Our Hats are Sized
Hats are measured by the inside circumference at the bottom of the hat's crown (the sweatband) and measured in centimeters. To make sure you have your correct hat size, you'll need to measure the circumference of your head or where you generally like to wear your hat. Do this by wrapping a measuring tape around the crown of your head, placing the tape one to two fingers width above your eyebrows and one finger above your ears. Alternatively, use a piece of string and then measure the length.
Whatever your measurement, add 1cm to determine your correct hat size. Example: head measurement of 56cm wears size 57 hat.


Sister City Policy and Criteria
The Economic Alliance program has provided Markham and its business community with a more diverse presence in the global marketplace, and a growing network of contacts. In particular, the benefits of the program include:
 - A source of contacts for businesses wishing to expand export opportunities
 - An economical promotional vehicle for Markham and Markham businesses in international markets
 - A guarantee of positive/high quality business and government contacts/protocol in partnership communities
 - An opportunity to learn and collect data on competitive global business and government issues of importance to Markham
Based on the experience learned from the economic alliance program, the City of Markham chose to elevate select relationships to a higher level of "twinning" or "sister cities". Whereas the City's Economic Alliance program was founded on the basis of trade and investment attraction potential, it has been recognized that there are also advantages for the City in forging ties to municipalities based on cultural, social, and political interests and affinities. In 1998, Markham Council endorsed a formal "twinning policy" and adopted a set of criteria for forging these new relationships between municipalities.
Twinning/Sister Cities Criteria
Overall factors to take into consideration:
 1. Genuine interest on both sides
 2. Long-term commitment for the relationship
 3. Adequate financial support for exchanges and maintenance of the sister cities relationship
 4. Realistic assessment of what makes a successful sister cities relationship
 5. Look for best results which will capitalize on existing strengths
 6. A desire to learn from and share with a sister city can, in many cases, balance the lack of any similar characteristics with a potential sister city.
Specific categories of factors to take into consideration:
 1. Population
 2. Similar geographic location (e.g., port city, airport, mountains, etc.)
 3. Comparison of key industries
 4. Ethnic and cultural composition
 5. Existing linkages (e.g., universities, businesses, etc.)
 6. Role for City's community organizations in the relationship
Cultural/Civic/Educational (the presence of the following):
 1. Museums, theatres, symphony/orchestra, libraries
 2. Variety of civic organizations
 3. Newspapers, television stations, sports teams, hospitals
 4. Schools, colleges, universities
 1. Similar economic conditions
 2. Level of government bureaucracy
 3. Language/cultural patterns not creating barriers
 4. Market analysis of industries
 5. Investment climate and present investment levels
 6. Branches of banks, factories, airlines present
 7. Number of foreign residents locally
 1. Trade and investment climate
 2. If a port city; port connections
 3. Trade in services (e.g., high-tech, education, business services, etc.)
 4. Trade exchange potential, air links
 5. Active Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce
 6. Diplomatic presence, Honorary Consuls
 7. Number/flow of tourists
 8. Presence of foreign businesses locally
 9. Local businesses engaged in international activity
 1. Geographic location
 2. History of diplomatic relations
 3. Present degree of cooperation in political, economic, commercial, and cultural fields
At this time, the City of Markham maintains one twinning agreement: that being with the City of Nordlingen, Germany (birthplace of Markham's founder, William Berczy).
Date Signed: October 2001

Expert Advice: 6 Ways for Media Companies to Feel More Confident About Their Cybersecurity
Security Best Practices & Advice
By Elad Shapira Sep 16, 20184 min read
Elad Shapira provides valuable guidance on how media companies can feel more secure about their cybersecurity.
It's not surprising that media companies aren't confident about their security levels. In fact, media companies are an ongoing target – be it by political activists, nation states (as in the cases of attacks against The NY Times and Sony Pictures), or even just hackers trying to leverage their skills to make money from the content they steal (as in the case of Netflix). Even the video-gaming industry is a target, as Steam has publicly acknowledged in the past.
To increase their security confidence level, media companies need to follow these steps:
1. Discover assets. Sometimes it may just be that an employee fired up a server to upload certain content for testing, not considering how to secure the server. In another scenario, there might a long forgotten, not updated or patched online server.
2. Map and prioritize the business impact of assets. Not all assets are created equal. An online release of a video prior to its debut screening may create reputational and financial damage to a company. Credit card details of subscribers are under regulatory control. Each company needs to consider its assets and their business effect on the company.
3. Place safety measures around these assets. Safety measures should span various levels, including network and IT (say, to prevent a DDoS attack) and the application (e.g., to avoid hacking to gamer accounts). It's important to even consider the human aspects; for example, avoiding the case of a disgruntled employee exposing sensitive and proprietary data.
4. Create an incident response plan. This is not just a technological approach, but a step that must also involve various teams and processes. In case of an attack against the company, there should be an advanced and thought-out plan to handle the attack. The security team needs to investigate the alerts and reach the technological origin of the attack. The IT team needs to help restore any lost content or back up new data. The PR legal teams need to enter "crisis management" mode and be ready to respond.
5. Continuously monitor the assets. It's not enough to simply put in place security measures and then just forget their existence. Company assets need to be continuously monitored – to ensure that the servers are continually hardened, that vulnerabilities are patched in a timely manner, security tools are correctly configured and that no asset is mistakenly and suddenly revealed on the Internet. With each change to the security posture of the company, the security team should be alerted and be able to deal with it according to the incident response plan they put in place.
6. Don't forget the suppliers! Throughout all the steps, it must be assumed that the company's assets include the company's suppliers. For example, the company's legal firm holds information regarding an upcoming acquisition or M&A; the PR firm holds information regarding the upcoming release of a movie; contractors may have advance access to the cover page of the next released magazine; or an outsourcing video production rendering company holds the source code to the latest animated film. All these suppliers pose a financial and reputational risk to the media company, so it's important to consider cybersecurity for third-party companies. As with previous steps, the company needs to determine the business risk that the supplier poses to the company and take the right measures to continuously reduce that risk. Such measures may include monitoring and restricting suppliers' access to a need-to-know and when-to-know basis, demanding endpoint protection on contractor's devices, and even requesting background checks for highly sensitive contractors.

TY - JOUR T1 - The Experience of Diabetes-Related Language in Diabetes Care JF - Diabetes Spectrum SP - 58 LP - 64 DO - 10.2337/ds16-0082 VL - 31 IS - 1 AU - Dickinson, Jane K. Y1 - 2018/02/01 UR - _URL_ N2 - Objective. The goal of this study was to understand how adults with diabetes experience the words used in diabetes care.Methods. This qualitative study guided by Critical Theory used two virtual and two in-person focus groups conducted by the same facilitator. A total of 68 focus group members participated. The facilitator transcribed and coded focus group data using individual responses as the unit of analysis. The facilitator used constant comparison to analyze responses and developed a research summary of themes that emerged. A second coder confirmed the themes originally identified, and participants provided feedback on the summary.Results. Many negative and stigmatizing words are used in diabetes care. Several themes emerged from the data, including judgment; fear and anxiety; labels, reminders, and assumptions; oversimplification and directives; misunderstanding, misinformation, and disconnection; and body language and tone. Participants reported experiencing negative diabetes-related words in the general public, with their health care providers (HCPs), and in the media. Participants made suggestions for HCPs to replace negative words; they raised a concern that current negative words will be replaced by others with similar negative connotations; and they said they would feel more like a partner in their care if HCPs stopped using these words.Conclusion. The language used in diabetes care has an impact on people who live with the disease. Awareness is the first step in eradicating stigma in diabetes care. HCPs can improve patient-provider communication and contribute to a more positive experience for people living with diabetes by choosing words that empower. ER -

Exp-1 To measure the force of attraction between charged capacitor plates by Null Method.
Exp-2 To calculate the permittivity of Air.
Exp-3 To measure the force between current carrying conductor and determine the permeability of Air.
By means of null method this balance measures tiny forces, it possess adjustable counterweight and an optical lever. To measure the repulsive force between parallel current-carrying conductors a pair of straight aluminium rods are given. Attractive force between charged capacitor plates ,a pair of plates are also included. In the electromagnetic experiment sufficient deflection may be caused by means of a current of 10-20A. For returning the balance to its original position, fractional weights are added to a small pan which is attached to the upper conductor rod, thus force between the conductors are measured. The dynamic definition of the Ampere or to determine the permeability of Air may be confirmed by interpretation of the result. Permittivity of the air may be observed by the analogous electrostatic experiment. An indirect estimate of the speed of light may be made from these two values. The whole experiment requires a diode laser & scale for the optical lever, fractional weight set for the current experiment, multimetyer for volts and amps, a 300V variable high voltage source and an AC or Dc current source for 10-20A. A detailed manual is included.
Scope of Supply:
|Coulomb and current balance
|Power supply 0-30V DC, 0-20A

September brought record rainfall to New York City, and it all it started with a night most will never forget.
Much of the month of September was dry and warm for New York City. It was kind of like an extension of summer.
Temperatures averaged more than two degrees above the average and we fell just shy of having it rank in the top 10 warmest Septembers.
Despite the overall fair weather, September will be remembered for one day: Sept. 1.
This is the day when the remnants of Hurricane Ida battered the city with an onslaught of rain never seen before in our city.
From 8:51 p.m. to 9:51 p.m., Central Park recorded over three inches of rain. This is the most rain in a single hour for the city in over 150 years.
Overall, Ida dumped more than seven inches of rain on the city, resulting in devastating impacts.
We had never seen anything like it. The National Weather Service issued the city's first-ever Flash Flood Emergency.
Alert after alert hit mobile devices as roads turned into rivers and the NYC subway system ceased running due to submerged stations. It took days to restore the system to full operation.
Hundreds of cars and even some 18-wheeler trucks were abandoned that night. Some escaped their cars through the sunroof as water poured over the hood.
Some of the worst flooding happened on the Major Deegan and the Grand Central Parkway.
Thirteen people in the five boroughs lost their lives. Many of the flood victims drowned inside their own apartments. They lived in basement apartments with only one entrance and exit. The floodwaters piled against their doors, the pressure trapping them.
NYC was declared a disaster area by federal, state and city governments. FEMA was brought into the area to help with the recovery.
Thankfully, most of the rest of the month was more dry than wet.
However, there were two moderate rainfall events that sent people into a near panic of needless preparation as they were still scarred from Ida.
Overall, we had 10 inches of rain for the month. It was the 6th-wettest September in over 150 years for the city.
Autumn officially began in September but there weren't many signs of it in the temperature department. Nineteen out of 30 days had above-average temperatures.
The hottest day was 86 degrees on Sept. 13.
One result of the warm and wet month was mosquitoes.
As the calendar turns to October, the outlook is for a warm and mainly dry first half of the month. This is welcome news for many New Yorkers who will always remember the night Ida came to the city.

for conflating (merging) of data
This is a plugin for conflating (merging) objects in JOSM. For now it focuses on one-to-one matches between POIs, such as addresses and buildings, parks, schools, bus stops, etc. It leverages the Replace Geometry command from utilsplugin2 to replace or upgrade one OSM object to another.

Motivating use cases
In 2009 feature data from GNIS was imported into OSM as nodes. Since that time some have been converted to areas, been moved, or even replaced. In this process the gnis:feature_id has sometimes been lost, and the conflation process could add back the correct ID. Also, GNIS has provided updates since 2009, which could be added to OSM with this tool. The conflation plugin could merge this data, with a strong weighting towards matching gnis_feature_id=* and name=*.
Replacing address nodes with building polygons
Consider replacing address nodes in OSM with high quality building data from a local authority. If the buildings have addresses associated with them, then matches would be heavily weighted towards matching addr:housenumber=* and addr:street=*. If there is no such addressing information, the data could still be conflated by setting a threshhold on the distance of perhaps 20 meters.
Updating Building Footprints
Buildings have been imported or traced by hand. An external data source has been released, and you would like to update the building in OSM to use the best building footprint from either source.
Optimal parking space assignment
This is for fun rather than for conflating data with OSM. Imagine you have a neighborhood where you've mapped all the parking spaces and the houses. You can "conflate" the two only using distance in the cost calculation to determine the optimal assignment of houses to parking spaces. If each house gets two parking spaces, you could duplicate (copy and paste) the house nodes/polygons, and you'd get two spaces matched to each house.
Follow these instructions to install the conflation plugin automatically. If you plan on doing matches over 500 objects, you should use the 64 bit java VM, so you don't run out of memory.
- Reference: the dataset which is presumed to have the best spatial accuracy and attribute (tag) comprehensiveness, typically a third-party dataset such as from a government entity
- Subject: the dataset which will have the geometry and/or attributes of the reference dataset merged into it, typically an up-to-date dataset downloaded from the OSM servers
The plugin requires that the Reference dataset be in a format that can be loaded by JOSM (an OSM file). Download the area that you would like edit first, then use the File | Open command to load in the external OSM file as a new layer. If you open the file external first, then download JOSM will download the data into the existing layer, which will make selections very difficult.
- If not already shown, enable the conflation dialog from the left panel.
- Click Configure, select some objects with better geometry and/or tags and click Freeze' in the Reference panel.
- Do the same for some other objects in the Subject panel.
- Click OK.
Doing the selection will require using the Edit | Search window. If you are conflating ways, you need to only select ways and not points. Conversely, if you are conflating points, you don't want to have any ways selected. Currently the plugin does not support relations, so they should never be selected. For example, "building=* type:way", will correctly select buildings. The type:way is needed to insure that no relations or points are selected. It is not possible to just select an area with the mouse.
In the conflation dialog, there are three tabs, Matches which lists matches found between the reference and subject layer, and Reference only and Subject only which lists unmatched objects from each dataset.
- Double-click on a match or unmatched object to zoom and center on and to select the object(s).
- Select one or more match and click Conflate to execute Replace Geometry. Select one or more objects from the Reference only list to copy them to the subject layer.
Note that you can also use the same selection for both target and source; the algorithm assigns a very high cost if both objects are the same, so a match should never occur with the same object as both target and source.
- Reuses existing search and selection functionality for creating reference and subject selections
- Uses Java Conflation Suite (JCS) and Java Topology Suite (JTS) for calculating scores between reference and subject objects, and generating the matches
- Use Replace Geometry from utilsplugin2 to conflate the objects
This is an incomplete and unordered list of tasks that I've thought of. If these or any others would be useful to you, please create a ticket for them.
- Allow for merging of just tags, and not geometry
- Add costs for "distance" between tags, e.g. by using Levenshtein distance (already implemented in JOSM core)
- Add thresholds and weights to individual costs (e.g. don't allow match if distance is greater than 100m)
- Allow clicking on arrow in conflation layer to select candidate match
- Allow declaring an invalid match, and using that information to regenerate the matches
- Add keyboard shortcuts to quickly go through matches, with keys for next, previous, merge, "mismatch", etc.
- Use color coding in arrows and table to indicate confidence of match
- Allow for custom cost and assignment methods
- Conflation/Nodes - initial design sketch

Each plastic card is tied toa certain personal account, and it is on it that all the money resources of the bank's customer are stored. Some owners of such cards never even think about why they need an account number and where it can be found out. Others need it almost every day for various operations. There are three main ways to find out the personal account of the Savings Bank. But first you need to talk about why this account is needed.
What is a personal account?
A personal account is a special combination of numbers, towhich is attached to a plastic card. Each card, regardless of whether it is debit or credit, has its own number. It is on this personal account that all money is transferred, on which they are kept.
Some clients of the Savings Bank mistakenly believe thatthis number is printed on the front of the card. In fact, this is not the account number, but the card number itself. Information about it you can find in our article - How to find the card account number. A personal account number is printed on an envelope, which is issued to the customer in the bank when opening an account.
How to find out a personal account in Sberbank
There are three main ways to find out the account number:
- The easiest way is to find the bank envelope andlook at the account number on it. It is printed on the front side and consists of 16 digits. But this option is only suitable in cases where the envelope is at hand.
- You can try to find this number in the network. So, the service "Sberbank online" allows you to find out the personal account within a few minutes. However, for this it is necessary to be already registered user in the system.
- And the third option is to call in the helpservice of the bank or contact the nearest branch personally. In the first case, Sberbank will allow you to find out the personal account of the card only if you remember a special code word or a combination of numbers that was called at the time of writing the application for issuing the card. At a personal visit to the bank, a code word is not needed.
Sometimes for transfers or otheroperations you need to know and the details of the bank itself. And about how Sberbank customers can learn them, you will be told our article - How to find out the details of Sberbank.

What is the 24/7 Sobriety Program?
glass of beer DUI north dakota
Seeing the rise in alcohol-related traffic arrests and accidents, the State of North Dakota enacted the 24/7 Sobriety Program – a rehabilitation program that affects individuals arrested for a second or subsequent DUI. Participation in the 24/7 program may be required as a condition of parole & probation, for any violation where drugs or alcohol may be involved, or in cases involving domestic abuse, or abuse/neglect of a child.
How does the 24/7 Sobriety Program work?
Once convicted of a second or subsequent DUI, Judges issue a bond order requiring the arrestee to refrain from alcohol use. They will also have to show up twice a day, during a specific timeframe at a specific location, for a breath alcohol test. Each participant is required to pay $1.00 per test to offset the cost of testing. If there is any alcohol detected, they are immediately taken to jail. If they fail to show for testing, their bond will be revoked.
What are the conditions of this program?
There are several conditions of this program. They include no alcohol us, no going to bars, a breath test twice daily or electronic monitoring, and random urine analysis or drug patch testing. In addition, the defendant must pay for the program. It does not replace any treatment component, and if a participant skips or fails, they go to jail. You can read the full list of the 24/7 Sobriety Program guidelines here.
Why was this program started?
This program was established to implement alternatives to jail time for individuals convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, domestic violence, abuse or neglect of a child, or any other offenses where alcohol or controlled substances are involved. Depending on the severity of the offense, the 24/7 Sobriety Program will often be paired with other penalties. These penalties can include but are not limited to fines of $500 or more, imprisonment, addiction evaluation, probation, and suspension of a driver's license.
What kind of benefits does this program bring?
There are many benefits of the 24/7 Sobriety Program, not only to the arrestee but to their family and the public as well. The defendant's parents, spouses, and children are safer, the public is safer, the defendant will spend less time in jail. Treatment prospects improve, and there is almost no cost to taxpayers.
Where can I find more information about the 24/7 Sobriety Program?
The North Dakota State Website has a lot of information to help you learn more about the 24/7 Sobriety Program. If you or anyone you know has questions or concerns about a recent DUI arrest, Tatum O'Brien is a North Dakota/Minnesota criminal defense attorney who has many years of experience working with DUI law cases.

Quick Answer: What Is The Difference Between Size Dimensions And Location Dimensions?
Why is the placement of your dimension important?
Why is placement of your dimensions so important.
Answer: Dimension placement helps a designer know the actual size of a part & not the scaled size.
Why do designers need to fully dimension a part.
Answer: Designs need to fully dimension an object so that there are no missing lengths..
Which way is length and width?
What is the LxWxH?
Standard corrugated boxes are measured as: Length x Width x Height. (LxWxH) where the height is the vertical dimension of the box when the opening is facing upwards.
What is width and height?
Length, width, and height are measurements that allow us to indicate the volume of geometric bodies. The length (20 cm) and the width (10 cm) correspond to the horizontal dimension. On the other hand, the height (15 cm) refers to the vertical dimension.
What is datum dimensioning?
A datum dimension is a group design object. It allows for the dimensioning of a linear distance of a collection of objects, relative to a single reference object. The first object chosen is the 'base'.
What are the two types of dimensioning?
Is size a dimension?
Dimension means size for engineering, formally or informally, and has a vector property associated with it. One can refer to the dimension "length" of a couch when buying furniture or on a mechanical drawing designing it. "Size" is more general. The words are synonyms; it is the usage which differs.
What is parallel dimensioning?
1. Parallel dimensioning: When numbers of dimensions are measured in the same direction from a common feature, i.e. surface of the part, then method of indicating all the dimensions from the same feature is called parallel dimensioning. The dimension lines are parallel to each other and equally spaced.
What are different types of dimensions?
Types of DimensionsSlowly Changing Dimensions.Rapidly Changing Dimensions.Junk Dimensions.Stacked dimensions.Inferred Dimensions.Conformed Dimensions.Degenerate Dimensions.Role-Playing Dimensions.More items…
What does it mean to over dimension a sketch?
What does it mean when a sketch is over dimensioned? A sketch is over dimensioned when. the same measurement/dimension is on 2 or more of the views: such as the over all width is. placed in both the front and top views. This can cause confusion and increase the.
What are different methods of dimensioning?
Dimensioning a drawing is about adding dimensions, notes and lines to a drawing. There are four methods: parallel, running, chain, and combined dimensioning.
Why is it important to use a set of guidelines to dimension a drawing?
The purpose of dimensioning is to provide a clear and complete description of an object. A complete set of dimensions will permit only one interpretation needed to construct the part. Dimensioning should follow these guidelines. Accuracy: correct values must be given.
What is a location dimension?
[lō′kā·shən də′men·chən] (design engineering) A dimension which specifies the position or distance relationship of one feature of an object with respect to another.
What is the difference between chain and datum dimensioning?
What is the difference between chain dimensioning and datum dimensioning? … Chain dimensioning is when size dimensions of each object are listed such that the dimensions are lined up next to each other. Datum dimensioning is dimensioning in reference to a single point (datum = one piece of information).
How do you calculate overall dimension?
What are the 8 rules of dimensioning?

Linear inches – or really, any linear dimension – simply refer to the sum total of your bag's length, width and depth. So, if your bag measures 28 inches high, 13 inches wide and 10 inches deep, its linear measurement or linear dimensions would be 28 + 13 + 10 = 51 linear inches.

Penn Physics Professor Finds Light under the Sea
Penn Physics and Astronomy Assistant Professor Alison Sweeney's research on undersea biooptics may have implications for solar energy and the development of biofuels. As reported on the SASFrontiers website, Sweeney's research indicates that proteins in mollusc shells, called reflectins, help propagate solar energy underwater to optimize photosynthesis in algae colonies. Reflectins also enable squids to change their own reflective qualities, and enable them to camouflage themselves in brighter or darker waters.

String functions
Gustav Widén (System support) 4 years ago in IQANdesign updated 4 months ago 3
There are a few different forum questions and feature requests that I think would be possible to solve if we had added some string handling functions, for example comparison of text channel values:
,string concatenation:
and conversion from integer to text
Anyone else who thinks this could be a good idea?
Great ideas,
I also would like the ability to have an Array of text or being able to extract text from a file. This is for primarily for error handling. I have devices with a very large number of possible errors. More than what the state machine can handle (+ it is not very flexible).
I can sort my error or create Error log by number but then customer has to find code in instruction manual.
So the idea would be to be able to display a text based on an index. If the Error file was external then it could be easier to deal with and may not tax the memory? A Spreadsheet could be ideal thus allowing us to maintain the different languages or at least two dimensional array.

As a comment on this post, in IQANscript does have text compare.

Description of the habitat
Lowland hay meadows are very blossomy and species-rich, meadow communities on dry to wet-dry, mostly fresh sites. Characteristically, they have a multitude of blooming herbs and numerous low, middle and high grasses, making these meadows look diverse and colourful. Corresponding to the local conditions and the cultivating methods, there is an abundance of forms of the habitat. The numerous low-nutrient indicators are characteristic for lowland hay meadows. Additionally, one often finds endangered plant species.
Situation and endangerment of the habitat in the project area
Lowland hay meadows occur nationwide on nutrient-low sites which are used respectively. The main transmission area is in the southwest of Luxembourg. The main impairment lies within the intensifying agriculture. Fertilisation, early and abundant cuts, high livestock density and drainage lead to the loss of the habitat. Another problem is caused by the loss of surface area through construction.
Provisions within the project
Purchase of 30 ha. Extensification of the use and, if needed, renaturation of the meadows and resettlement of highly endangered plant species.

Failure to Respond to a Permission Request: What Does it Mean?
Why seek permission? If permission is unnecessary for a fair use defense, why ask for it? First, acquiring permission bypasses the need for a legal dispute (and the uncertainties and expenses associated with it). Second, seeking permission also demonstrates your good faith and may mitigate the damages assessed if your fair use defense fails and there is a negative decision against you.
Does a failure to respond to a permission request mean that there is a lower risk of being pursued. We doubt it. Although, as anecdotal evidence, we can offer this story: Our mom called a lawyer at a well-known movie company for permission for her nonprofit to use a licensed character in a presentation. His response, "You never made this call." In other words, having to say "no," would have obligated the attorney to follow up.
FYI Dept. -- Silence doesn't mean legal assent. We remember getting letters from lawyers that would say things like, "A failure to respond shall confirm blah, blah, blah." But 99.9% of the time that's just not the case. Inaction, or silence rarely triggers any legal conclusion (either affirmative or negative). For example, there's a famous 19th-century English contract case in which a man offered to buy a horse and stated that unless he heard otherwise from the seller, "I consider the horse mine." The British court ruled that his assumption didn't create a contract; the other party's acceptance had to be clearly expressed.

Are there any characters that cannot be used for account, level, and dimension names?
The pipe character (the vertical line symbol | ) should not be used in used in element names or memo/note fields because it is a reserved character in the Adaptive Insights API that acts a delimiter to separate data. Pipe characters are not supported in the Integration for Planning tool, and their inclusion in element names or source data can cause columns to be delimited incorrectly resulting in values being posted to the wrong columns.
We recommend completely avoiding/removing the use of pipe characters from the fields in your source system that you will be importing into Adaptive Insights.
To remove pipe characters in your data source, you can create a SQL column that removes pipe characters from the staging table. Please see an example SQL expression below which may need to be modified depending on your integration setup.
CASE WHEN "ExampleField" LIKE '%|%' THEN SUBSTRING( "ExampleField" FROM 1 FOR (POSITION('|' in "ExampleField") - 1 ) || SUBSTRING( "ExampleField" FROM ( POSITION('|' in "ExampleField") + 1 ) ) ELSE "ExampleField" END
This expression will remove exactly one pipe character from the target string if it is present. If there are records that have more than one pipe character in the column, you could try creating a nested SQL statement with several similar expressions to continually search and remove each pipe character and return the resulting string.


Spenser's Amoretti and Epithalamion

Though firmly entrenched in the Protestant Christian tradition, Spenser followed the artists of his day in admiring the work and beliefs of the ancient Greeks. Nowhere is this more evident than in Amoretti and Epithalamion, where the driving emotion--love--is given free rein to roam the fields of nymphs and drink deeply in the bowers of Bacchus. Spenser uses the most lusty of pagan traditions to emphasize his full-bodied passion for his bride and for life itself. In Spenser's poetic world, there is no division between spirit and flesh; to exalt one is to exalt the other.Pride is another element found in this work. In both the Protestant Christian tradition and the classical Greek tradition, pride is often referred to as the greatest sin a person can commit. Spenser deals with pride in Amoretti, sometimes criticizing his beloved for her proud stance, but more often defending her pride as an outward manifestation of her inner perfection. That she seems proud to lesser men is true only because these men (including the speaker) are truly lesser beings than she. She is not arrogant--she merely is who and what she was created to be.

Have You Been Charged with Arson?
Categories: General, Uncategorized
Charged with Arson
Arson is a crime in which a person deliberately causes damage to a building or other structure by setting it on fire or creating an explosion. Because fires often lead to significant damage, serious injuries, and loss of life, prosecutors pursue these cases zealously.
If you have been charged with arson, you already know there is a stigma attached to these crimes. Don't wait to call a lawyer.
Indiana Arson Law
In Indiana, a person can be found guilty of arson if he knowingly or intentionally damages a dwelling by means of fire, explosives, or a destructive device. In other words, you can't be convicted of arson if you set a fire by accident.
Arson is punishable as a felony, the seriousness of which depends on how much property is damaged, whether someone gets hurt in the fire, and whether anyone is killed due to the arson.
Arson as Insurance Fraud
In some situations, a person burns down their home or place of business to collect money from an insurance policy. This can make an arson case even more complicated, as the individual may also face charges for fraud, mischief, or other offenses.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, intentional fires occur with somewhat regular frequency. In a recent four-year span, for example, fire departments throughout the U.S. reported responding to 282,600 intentional fires. These fires led to 420 civilian fatalities, 1,360 injuries, and an overwhelming $1.3 billion in direct property damage. With such compelling numbers, it is easy to see why prosecutors take these cases so seriously.
Wrongly Accused of Arson
Being accused of arson can cause irrevocable damage to a person's reputation. Unfortunately, insurance companies are sometimes quick to jump to conclusions when a homeowner or business owner experiences loss due to a fire. If you have lost your home or your business to fire, it is devastating to be accused of arson on top of it.
A recent story out of New York shows how a false arson charge can cause irreparable damage to an individual's life. In 2015, three men were exonerated for the crime of setting an apartment fire that took the lives of a mother and her five children. The alleged crime took place in 1980, which meant the men served more than 30 years in prison. The only witness to the crime was a drug dealer who was later discredited. Tragically, one man died in prison.
If you have been falsely charged with arson, you are likely feeling a strong mix of emotions that include anger and helplessness. But you are not helpless. There is help for your case. Call Razumich Law, P.C. today at _PHONE_ for a free consultation.

Title: Water intake and bladder cancer risk in Los Angeles County.
Authors: Jiang, Xuejuan; Castelao, Jose E; Groshen, Susan; Cortessis, Victoria K; Shibata, Darryl K; Conti, David V; Gago-Dominguez, Manuela
Published In Int J Cancer, (2008 Oct 1)
Abstract: The overall evidence of an association between fluid intake and bladder cancer is not entirely consistent. We examined the fluid intake-bladder cancer relationship in the Los Angeles bladder cancer case-control study. A total of 1,586 cases and their age-, sex-, and race-matched neighborhood controls were interviewed in-person from 1987 to 1999. Information on total fluid intake was derived from the consumption of specific fluids including water, coffee, tea, alcohol, milk, juice, hot chocolate and soda. Total fluid intake was not associated with bladder cancer. Daily water intake was associated with a slight decrease in bladder cancer risk, with the protection more pronounced among women (p for trend = 0.039) than among men (p for trend = 0.62). Compared to drinking <1 glass of water per day, drinking > or =6 glasses/day was associated with 0.91 (95% confidence interval, 0.67-1.22) times the risk of bladder cancer among all subjects, 0.94 (0.67-1.32) times the risk among men, and 0.69 (0.36-1.33) times the risk among women. The water intake-bladder cancer association also seemed to be modified by daytime urination frequency with significant inverse association among subjects who urinated > or =6 times/day (p for trend = 0.015), but not among those who urinated less frequently. Similarly, the protection from water intake was confined to women who did not experience nocturia and to men who did. Results from our study suggest that water intake may be associated with a slight reduction in bladder cancer risk.

Token is a set of data to manage "tasks flowing in business process (business flow)." It can be considered as a kind of a control number.
Overview of Token
Especially, in telecommunication network and security area, "token" means "transmission privilege, access privilege, ticket, and so on" and, in many cases, "token" implies reference number, control tag, and control number that are used to control something in any way. In order to manage enormous tasks in a company, BPM engines (workflow engines) implemented in many BPM suite and BPM software products attach data called token to control each task.
In addition, it means "lexical token or character," which is a unit to analyze program codes, in software programming area.
Split of Token
On the other hand, in case of XOR-Split, at which "only one route" must be chosen, the token is never split.
In the right diagram, the following possibilities can be considered as a timing at which "C1" starts.
- "C1" starts after joining the results of "A2" and "B1."
- "C1" starts after receiving one of the results of "A2" and "B1."
- "C1" starts upon receiving the result from each of "A2" and "B1" respectively. ("C1" is executed twice.)
However, according to the basic rule defined in BPMN1.1, the third option above is expected. (Some products adopt the first option.)
(*)In order to clearly show that "C1" waits until both of "A2" and "B1" are completed, Parallel Gateway must be placed. Furthermore, if the complex way to wait the results from the two activities needs to be specified, Complex Gateway is used.
Divergence of Token
However, on the other hand, if a token processed at "B1" goes back to "A1" and is split again after "A1" is completed, the number of tokens diverges. "Whether divergence of tokens is allowed or not" depends on the specification of each BPM engine (workflow engine).
In addition, a process diagram in which "split" and "join" are always coupled and process blocks are nested is said to be "structured" after "Structured Theorem / Structured Programming" in software engineering. A token never diverges in a structured process diagram. (Note that it does not necessarily mean "a token always diverges" in a process diagram that is not structured.)
