Proper processing to overcome the abundance of plastic waste is needed. Currently, pyrolysis technology is one method that can overcome plastic waste. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process, which breaks down long alkyl chains into hydrocarbons at high temperatures. This study aims to determine the effect of temperature on yield and heating value using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method. The pyrolysis of plastic waste is carried out with HDPE plastic material. The pyrolysis process is carried out in a reactor with 50 grams of feed at various temperatures of 500, 550, 600 and 650⁰C. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that there is a decrease in yield and calorific value with increasing temperature. The results of the analysis concluded that temperature had an effect on the yield produced and the calorific value of the product. The best yield was obtained at 35.86% and a heating value of 10530.461cal / g at a temperature of 100oC. Based on the results of data analysis using the ANOVA method, it was found that the experimental hypothesis was that temperature had an effect on yield and calorific value.

Vacation Styles, Mental Well-Being and Work Motivation
Keywords:Mental - Wellbeing, Work Motivation, Workcation, Vacation, Gender
AbstractThe aim of the study was to scrutinize the differences in Mental Wellbeing and Work Motivation of corporate employees with respect to their gender and vacation styles, that is, workcation and vacation. The study also assessed the association between employees' work motivation and mental wellbeing. A descriptive study was carried out and the data was drawn from an online survey of 195 employees. The Work Motivation Questionnaire (Agarwal, 2012) and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing scale (Taggart, 2016) were utilized to gather the data. Independent samples t-tests were used to interpret the differences in well-being and work motivation of corporate employees with regards to their gender and vacation styles, workcation and vacation. Correlation and linear regression were both employed to evaluate the link and effect of work motivation on mental wellbeing. The findings indicated that there were no significant differences in wellbeing and work motivation of employees based on their vacation styles. There was a significant difference in the wellbeing of employees with respect to their gender and no significant difference was found in employees' work motivation based on their gender. Work motivation was found to be significantly correlated with mental wellbeing, accounting for 21.3% of the variance in mental wellbeing can be explained by work motivation.

text: In the manufacturing process of flip-chips, ultrasonic bonding has been widely used. In the past, however, the ultrasonic horn was designed to move horizontally while the bonding force was applied vertically, the motion control of the horn thus cannot be controlled accurately. In addition, non-coplanar effects were unavoidably occurred and the quality of bonding became unacceptable. In this paper, the non-coplanar phenomenon between the horn and the substrate was attempted to improve by designing the horn with the following features: 1. The resonant mode of the horn is purely longitudinal; 2. The contact surface between the horn and the flip-chip in the substrate remain plane; The finite element method (FEM) was used to design the ultrasonic horn with the above features. In the future, the amplitude-fluctuation electronic speckle pattern interferometry (AF-ESPI) will be used to verify the FEM results.

The bear-friendly label was designed to award practices that promote coexistence between bears and humans. Bear friendly practices include:
- the effective protection of livestock, beehives or orchards;
- preventing bears from losing fear of human (habituation of bears to humans) by using bear-proof garbage bins. When bears relate food to human, they will try to find it close to humans and their settlements. So, let's keep bears wild and do not leave your trash everywhere;
- development of responsible tourism programs;
- active promotion of bear conservation in the local area.
Honey, cheese, meat products and handicrafts equipped with the bear-friendly label highlight the connection between bears and local communities, which are deeply intertwined in the northern Dinaric region and Alps. Such products give additional value and sense of recognition to the use of bear-friendly practices and improve the coexistence between humans and bears.
Support bear friendly products and services to benefit local community and contribute to coexistence with bears.


What is difference between Agricultural land and Non Agricultural (NA) land?
Add your answer...
1 Answer
A. The main difference is in the FSI (Floor Space Index) i.e. how big house can be constructed on a given piece of land. Normally for agriculture land it is 0.05 (5% )i.e. on a land of 100 sqr meter you can make a house of 5 sqr meter only. NA land FSI is normally much higher at around 0.7 (70%)to 1(100%).

Indicators of Progress
Our progress toward a just and sustainable community creates shifts or changes in four areas:
- Shifts in Collective Identity and Action: Social change has begun when groups are able to impact the political and economic decisions that affect their lives. Collective identity and action demonstrates a community's voice and power. Headwaters looks to organizations to engage community members and deepen and strengthen their involvement in community affairs.
- Shift in Engagement and Sustained Interaction: Lasting change requires having the power and the unified organized force to shift political and social agendas. To demonstrate these shifts Headwaters supports collaborative and collective efforts that unite and expand social agendas.
- Shifts in Institutions and Policy: Progress toward social change can be observed in changes in rules, laws and practices. To bring about social change Headwaters supports efforts to change, reform and transform existing policies and institutions.
- Shift in definitions or framing of issue: Transformative change comes about when our society understands and acts within a new paradigm or worldview. To bring this about, Headwaters supports organizations that are shifting cultural beliefs, norms, traditions and practices that shape political meaning.

text: This paper illustrates the use of mixture of experts (ME) network structure to guide model selection for diagnosis of two subtypes of adult hydrocephalus (normal-pressure hydrocephalus-NPH and aqueductal stenosis-AS). The ME is a modular neural network architecture for supervised learning. Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm was used for training the ME so that the learning process is decoupled in a manner that fits well with the modular structure. To improve classification accuracy, the outputs of expert networks were combined by a gating network simultaneously trained in order to stochastically select the expert that is performing the best at solving the problem. The classifiers were trained on the defining features of NPH and AS (velocity and flux). Three types of records (normal, NPH and AS) were classified with the accuracy of 95.83% by the ME network structure. The ME network structure achieved accuracy rates which were higher than that of the stand-alone neural network models.

Protect your kids—and your finances
Each year, many of our families spend thousands of dollars when their children are injured at school, on field trips or at home. For pennies a day, this can all be avoided.
To help protect your family, the Peel board has arranged to have student accident insurance available exclusively through Old Republic Insurance Company. This program offers a variety of plans and benefits at affordable prices.
The coverage can include:
dental expenses, and future costs (resulting from an accident)
total and permanent disability
paralysis/loss of use of limbs
special disability benefits
The Peel District School Board does
provide accident insurance coverage for student injuries that occur on school property or during school activities—this includes extracurricular sports. If a student is injured, parents are responsible for any costs not covered by provincial health care or their employer's health care plan. Please check with your provider regarding your coverage.
The provincial health care system does not cover costs which are commonly related to accidents including dental work, ambulance fees, casts and crutches, and physiotherapy. All of these are covered by Old Republic Life's student accident insurance plan.
It is strongly recommended that all families consider this coverage, especially if your child participates in extracurricular activities. Annual plans, which provide 24 hours a day, 365 days a year coverage. The insurance agreement is between

Reciprocity law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For the reciprocity law in photography, see Reciprocity (photography).
In mathematics, a reciprocity law is a generalization of the law of quadratic reciprocity.
There are several different ways to express reciprocity laws. The early reciprocity laws found in the 19th century were usually expressed in terms of a power residue symbol (p/q) generalizing the quadratic reciprocity symbol, that describes when a prime number is an nth power residue modulo another prime, and gave a relation between (p/q) and (q/p). Hilbert reformulated the reciprocity laws as saying that a product over p of Hilbert norm residue symbols (a,b/p), taking values in roots of unity, is equal to 1. Artin reformulated the reciprocity laws as a statement that the Artin symbol from ideals (or ideles) to elements of a Galois group is trivial on a certain subgroup. Several more recent generalizations express reciprocity laws using cohomology of groups or representations of adelic groups or algebraic K-groups, and their relationship with the original quadratic reciprocity law can be hard to see.
Quadratic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: quadratic reciprocity
In terms of the Legendre symbol, the law of quadratic reciprocity for positive odd primes states
Cubic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: cubic reciprocity
The law of cubic reciprocity for Eisenstein integers states that if α and β are primary (primes congruent to 2 mod 3) then
Quartic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: quartic reciprocity
In terms of the quartic residue symbol, the law of quartic reciprocity for Gaussian integers states that if π and θ are primary (congruent to 1 mod (1+i)3) Gaussian primes then
Octic reciprocity[edit]
Main article: Octic reciprocity
Eisenstein reciprocity[edit]
Suppose that ζ is an th root of unity for some odd prime. The power character is the power of ζ such that
for any prime ideal of Z[ζ]. It is extended to other ideals by multiplicativity. The Eisenstein reciprocity law states that
for a any rational integer coprime to and α any element of Z[ζ] that is coprime to a and and congruent to a rational integer modulo (1–ζ)2.
Kummer reciprocity[edit]
Suppose that ζ is an lth root of unity for some odd regular prime l. Since l is regular, we can extend the symbol {} to ideals in a unique way such that
where n is some integer prime to l such that pn is principal.
The Kummer reciprocity law states that
for p and q any distinct prime ideals of Z[ζ] other than (1–ζ).
Hilbert reciprocity[edit]
Main article: Hilbert symbol
In terms of the Hilbert symbol, Hilbert's reciprocity law for an algebraic number field states that
where the product is over all finite and infinite places. Over the rational numbers this is equivalent to the law of quadratic reciprocity. To see this take a and b to be distinct odd primes. Then Hilbert's law becomes But (p,q)p is equal to the Legendre symbol, (p,q) is 1 if one of p and q is positive and –1 otherwise, and (p,q)2 is (–1)(p–1)(q–1)/4. So for p and q positive odd primes Hilbert's law is the law of quadratic reciprocity.
Artin reciprocity[edit]
Main article: Artin reciprocity law
In the language of ideles, the Artin reciprocity law for a finite extension L/K states that the Artin map from the idele class group CK to the abelianization Gal(L/K)ab of the Galois group vanishes on NL/K(CL), and induces an isomorphism
Although it is not immediately obvious, the Artin reciprocity law easily implies all the previously discovered reciprocity laws, by applying it to suitable extensions L/K. For example, in the special case when K contains the nth roots of unity and L=K[a1/n] is a Kummer extension of K, the fact that the Artin map vanishes on NL/K(CL) implies Hilbert's reciprocity law for the Hilbert symbol.
Local reciprocity[edit]
Hasse introduced a local analogue of the Artin reciprocity law, called the local reciprocity law. One form of it states that for a finite abelian extension of L/K of local fields, the Artin map is an isomorphism from onto the Galois group.
Explicit reciprocity laws[edit]
In order to get a classical style reciprocity law from the Hilbert reciprocity law Π(a,b)p=1, one needs to know the values of (a,b)p for p dividing n. Explicit formulas for this are sometimes called explicit reciprocity laws.
Power reciprocity laws[edit]
Main article: Power reciprocity law
A power reciprocity law may be formulated as an analogue of the law of quadratic reciprocity in terms of the Hilbert symbols as[1]
Rational reciprocity laws[edit]
A rational reciprocity law is one stated in terms of rational integers without the use of roots of unity.
Scholz's reciprocity law[edit]
Shimura reciprocity[edit]
Weil reciprocity law[edit]
Main article: Weil reciprocity law
Langlands reciprocity[edit]
The Langlands program includes several conjectures for general reductive algebraic groups, which for the special of the group GL1 imply the Artin reciprocity law.

How do you know when a Peruvian avocado is ripe?
TIP: The best way to tell if your avocado is ripe is by feel. TIP: If your avocados aren't quite ripe enough to eat, simply place them in a paper bag with another fruit like a banana or apple. Place the bag near a window and the fruit gasses will ripen the avocado.
How do you know when Hass avocados are ready to pick?
Internally, the seed coat turns from ivory to dark brown upon maturity. To determine fruit maturity, pick one of the larger fruits and keep it at room temperature until it softens. It is mature if it softens to good consistency, is not tough and leathery or bitter, does not shrink or shrivel, and is good to eat.
Are avocados from Peru safe to eat?
Washington, DC May 17, 2017— Following the 2016 USDA announcement claiming Hass Avocados are a "healthy" food, the AHA has now granted the Peruvian Avocado Commission certification rights to the Heart-Check mark for its marketing promotions and campaigns.
Are Hass avocados from Peru?
While both the imported Mexican and Peruvian avocados are Hass varieties, there are crucial differences in the climate in which these avocados are grown. In Peru, avocados are grown in an arid climate with the help of intensive irrigation infrastructure.
What Peruvians call avocados?
Palta is one of the most common names to call avocado in Spanish. They call it palta in Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina.
Should you refrigerate avocados?
Avoid avocados that feel mushy or have dents and dips in the skin. Once ripe, eat the avocado in the next day or two, or store it whole and uncut in the refrigerator for up to three days. Cold slows down ripening, so don't buy unripe avocados and put them in the refrigerator. They won't ripen properly, if at all.
How many times a year does an avocado tree bear fruit?
How many fruit will a mature tree produce in one year? It is possible for an avocado tree to produce 200 to 300 fruit per tree once it is about 5-7 years of age. The avocado tree, however, alternates bearing. This means that the tree may produce a large crop one year, and then produce a small crop the following year.
How long do Hass avocados take to mature?
Hass avocado trees will start producing fruit in roughly five years. The avocados will not begin to ripen until you pluck them from the tree, so leave them hanging until you need them.
Does it take 9 months to grow an avocado?
Two Crops of Avocados Yep, that also means it takes an avocado 12-18 months to grow and become ready to eat. The avocados you see at the grocery store or farmers' market took 12-18 months to grow and mature. It's no wonder they're so delicious – they're similar to a nice, maturing wine or tasty aged steak.
Where are avocados grown in Peru?
Growing Conditions Our Peruvian avocados enjoy a Mediterranean climate and are grown along picturesque beaches in the highlands off the northern coast and central desert regions.
What percentage of avocados come from Mexico?
Mexico supplies 45 percent of the international avocado market. Of the 57 avocado producing countries, the other major producers are Dominican Republic, Peru, Colombia, and Indonesia in that order.
Does Peru grow avocados?
Peru's avocado crop for the 2021 calendar year is estimated at 560,000 tons. Peru grows mainly two types of avocados. Most avocado farms can be found along Peru's desert coast. Larger producers use water from the Andes via federal water channels.
What is a giant avocado?
The giant avocado, dubbed the "avozilla" – which has been making the rounds on social media – can weigh anywhere between 800 grams to 1.3 kilograms. By comparison, a regular Hass avocado weighs around 170 grams.
What is avocado in India?
In India, avocado is not a commercial fruit crop. It was introduced from Sri Lanka in the early part of the twentieth century. In a very limited scale and in a scattered way it is grown in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Karnataka in the south-central India and in the eastern Himalayan state of Sikkim.
Does Mexico grow avocados?
National production has grown 8% annually since 2009; the country produced 2.2 million tons of avocados in 2018 alone. Although the majority of Mexico's avocados come from the state of Michoacán, the avocado boom is now pushing into other regions – a move that may threaten the country's forests.

UK technology providers Sentec have won a grant for research and development (formerly SMART award) from the Department of Trade and Industry for the development of an accurate, solid-state water meter for residential applications. The DTI's grants aim to support research and development that produces techno-logically innovative and commercially attractive products and processes. Sentec has created a new electromagnetic (magflow) sensor which uses a number of innovations in the sensing element and associated electronics to break unit cost and power consumption barriers in magflow metering.
The sensor will allow magflow meters to break into the residential market in high volumes and bring a number of benefits to water utilities, including higher accuracy at low flows and over the whole lifetime of the meter. Inherent reliability, continuous flow measurement, long lifetime, affordable AMR and more meter 'intelli-gence'.
A patent has been applied for, and the sensor is already the subject of licence discussions with several prominent water meter manufacturers. The meter will have very low power consumption, allowing a minimum battery life of ten years. The project funded by the grant will demonstrate this, and the required levels of accuracy, and that the technology can meet the aggressive manufacturing cost targets that will be needed to enter the residential market.

Valley-based app aims to teach children about work ethic, money management
Mar 8, 2017, 4:18 AM | Updated: 9:21 am
Spring is right around the corner, which means spring cleaning will be here before parents know it. For parents who are not sure how to get their children energized about chores and cleaning, don't worry: There's an app for that.
The Valley-based company BusyKid promotes work ethic for children by organizing their tasks and teaching them money management, all through the magic of a smartphone.
"Kids should be doing chores so that they'll learn responsibility, accountability — and they'll get out of your house and not come back unless they're visiting," said Gregg Murset, founder and CEO of the BusyKid parent company MyJobChart.com.
Paying kids for their work not only teaches them work ethic, but also money management, Murset said. Having to work and save for a skateboard today might teach a kid that it is dangerous to go into debt for a car down the road.
"[Money management] spills over into spending habits, charitable giving habits, saving for the future habits," Murset said. "All those things are all wrapped into one."
Murset said it is important for children to know the value of hard work when they are young, and should start performing age-appropriate chores as early as their parents think they are ready for it.
"They're going to translate those skills into the real work place," Murset said. "When they get a project at work that's somewhat difficult for them or challenging, they're not going to just throw their hands up and say, 'I'm out.'"
BusyKid allows parents to pay their children directly through the app by setting up a recommended allowance based on the chore and the age of the child, which parents can change at anytime.
Kids are paid weekly and their allowance is divided into different areas to save, share and spend. This allows kids to save their money, while giving them the flexibility to purchase gift cards to different stores or making weekly donations to the charity of their choice — all with parent approval.
Family memberships for BusyKid are $1 per month, but parents can sign up for a 30-day free trial here.

Capturing connector logging can be very helpful when diagnosing error messages or other unexpected behavior.
You will simply need to set two connection properties to begin capturing connector logging.
- Logfile: A filepath which designates the name and location of the log file.
- Verbosity: This is a numerical value (1-5) that determines the amount of detail in the log. See the page in the Connection Properties section for a breakdown of the five levels.
- MaxLogFileSize: When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end. The default limit is 100 MB. Values lower than 100 kB will use 100 kB as the value instead.
- MaxLogFileCount: A string specifying the maximum file count of log files. When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end and the oldest log file will be deleted. Minimum supported value is 2. A value of 0 or a negative value indicates no limit on the count.
Once this property is set, the connector will populate the log file as it carries out various tasks, such as when authentication is performed or queries are executed. If the specified file doesn't already exist, it will be created.
The verbosity level determines the amount of detail that the connector reports to the Logfile. Verbosity levels from 1 to 5 are supported. These are described in the following list:
|1||Setting Verbosity to 1 will log the query, the number of rows returned by it, the start of execution and the time taken, and any errors.|
|2||Setting Verbosity to 2 will log everything included in Verbosity 1 and additional information about the request.|
|3||Setting Verbosity to 3 will additionally log HTTP headers, as well as the body of the request and the response.|
|4||Setting Verbosity to 4 will additionally log transport-level communication with the data source. This includes SSL negotiation.|
|5||Setting Verbosity to 5 will additionally log communication with the data source and additional details that may be helpful in troubleshooting problems. This includes interface commands.|
The Verbosity should not be set to greater than 1 for normal operation. Substantial amounts of data can be logged at higher verbosities, which can delay execution times.
To refine the logged content further by showing/hiding specific categories of information, see LogModules.
You may want to refine the exact information that is recorded to the log file. This can be accomplished using the LogModules property.
This property allows you to filter the logging using a semicolon-separated list of logging modules.
All modules are four characters long. Please note that modules containing three letters have a required trailing blank space. The available modules are:
- EXEC: Query Execution. Includes execution messages for original SQL queries, parsed SQL queries, and normalized SQL queries. Query and page success/failure messages appear here as well.
- INFO: General Information. Includes the connection string, driver version (build number), and initial connection messages.
- HTTP: HTTP Protocol messages. Includes HTTP requests/responses (including POST messages), as well as Kerberos related messages.
- SSL : SSL certificate messages.
- OAUT: OAuth related failure/success messages.
- SQL : Includes SQL transactions, SQL bulk transfer messages, and SQL result set messages.
- META: Metadata cache and schema messages.
- TCP : Incoming and Ongoing raw bytes on TCP transport layer messages.
LogModules=INFO;EXEC;SSL ;SQL ;META;
Note that these modules refine the information as it is pulled after taking the Verbosity into account.


Macmillan has only the entry Home Town.
Oxford also has only the entry Home Town (although all examples suggested have hometown written).
Cambridge has only the entry Hometown.
Microsoft Word keeps correcting me (I use BrE dictionary). It underlines Home town: I should write Hometown.
1) Which is the word I should use: Home Town or Hometown?
I've read here that:
Home town is used for "My home town is Flower Mound." Home is modifying the noun, town.
Hometown is an adjective, as in "My hometown memories."
2) Is this all right? Do both words exist, one as a noun and the other as an adjective? If it is the case, why the dictionaries don't have both entries?
Hometown as a noun is American English. Home town (n.) is British English.
Since it's a two-word phrase in British English, it would need to be converted into a compound adjective by using a hyphen, rather than combining them into one word: "My home-town memories" rather than "hometown memories". In American English, "hometown" is also the adjective form.
That's probably why "hometown" isn't appearing in your BrE dictionary searches. "Home-town" may not either, since many compound nouns don't have dictionary entries.

Using the Compute Derivative Tool in SMS
With the release of the SMS 13.1 beta, a new tool has been added to the Dataset Toolbox. The Dataset Toolbox contains many tools for creating new datasets from existing data in your project. The Dataset Toolbox contains the Data Calculator as well as tools for comparing datasets and completing certain functions.
Among all the tools currently available, the Compute Derivative tool has been added to the Temporal tools in the Dataset Toolbox. In a previous blog post we discussed the other temporal tools if you want to review the function of those tools. The Compute Derivative tool allows you to create a new dataset showing the change from one time step to the next, or the derivative from one time step to the next of an existing dataset.
To access and use the Computer Derivative tool, do the following:
 1. Have a transient dataset loaded into the project.
 2. Use the Data | Dataset Toolbox command.
 3. In the Dataset Toolbox dialog, select the Computer Derivative tool under the list of Temporal tools.
 4. Select the desired dataset to use for the computation.
 5. Select either the Change or Derivative option.
 6. If selecting the Derivative option, also specify the time units.
 7. Enter a name for the new dataset.
Compute Derivative Tool in SMS
The new dataset generated from the Computer Derivative tool will output data in between the existing dataset time steps, resulting in one fewer time steps than the original dataset.
The Compute Derivative tool is only available for data that is in the 2D Mesh module or the UGrid module. Make certain that you have your dataset included in one of these two modules. If you have your dataset in a different module, you will need to interpolate it over to a 2D mesh or UGrid (unstructured grid) before using the Computer Derivative tool.

Moving the area of interest in the Reviewer Overview window
The area of interest is a hatched area in the Reviewer Overview window that represents the extent of the data in the map. For example, to navigate the map, you can move the area of interest rather than panning in the map. When a polygon grid is used to navigate the map, and you are moving from one cell to the next, the area of interest moves to the corresponding cell.
- Start ArcMap.
- If necessary, load data in the map.
- On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Data Reviewer.
Click the Reviewer Overview Window button on the Data Reviewer toolbar.
The Reviewer Overview Window appears as a docked window in ArcMap.
- Right-click in the Reviewer Overview window and click Adjust Map Extent.
- Click the hatched area and drag it to a different place in the grid or Reviewer Overview window.
The map refreshes to reflect the change in area of interest.

Nusselt Number Prediction for Oil and Water in Solar Tubular Cavity Receivers
Keywords:Nusselt number prediction, solar cavity receivers, thermal oil, water
In this study, a numerical model was developed for prediction of Nusselt number in solar cavity receivers. Thermal oil and water were used as the working fluid. A dish concentrator with different shapes of the cavity receiver, including hemispherical, cylindrical, and cubical, was investigated. The different shapes of cavity receiver were studied under the same operating conditions for prediction of the internal heat transfer coefficient correlation for each cavity receiver. The system is investigated under the variation of solar radiation, flow rate, and inlet temperature of solar working fluids. The developed thermal model is validated based on the experimental data for the cylindrical cavity receiver using thermal oil. The results reveal that the hemispherical cavity receiver had the highest cavity heat gain, heat transfer coefficient, and Nusselt number values compared to two other cavity receivers. It could be concluded that the cavity heat gain, and heat transfer coefficient, and Nusselt number amounts had improved with increasing solar radiation, increasing flow rate, and decreasing inlet temperature of the working fluid. Some equations were suggested for prediction of Nusselt number with the variation of solar radiation, flow rate of the working fluid, and inlet temperature of working. It was concluded that application of thermal oil had resulted in higher Nusselt numbers than the use of water as the solar working fluid. Consequently, the application of oil is suggested for high-temperature systems.

Commercial gas meters are chargeable and here at DS Gas we offer some of the best prices around, which is coupled with support and advice to help you along the way.
GAS METER INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
In most cases, installing a gas meter tends to involve some background checks to confirm the gas pipe to which a meter would be fitted is suitable.
A commercial site also requires a gas supplier prior to fitting the meter. At DS Gas we can help with both of these elements at no extra charge.
WHAT AFFECTS THE COST OF INSTALLATION?
The cost of a gas meter installation varies depending on the size of the meter required. These vary greatly and start at a U6 (also known as a BK-G6 or G4). A U6 can usually deliver a peak demand / maximum consumption of 64 kW.
Meters then increase in size to a U16, U25, U40, U65, U100, U160 and continue up to much larger bespoke meters, with specially designed gas meter rigs often required.
ESTIMATE PRICE DETAILS
At DS Gas, a U6 meter will start at around the £152.60 mark (low pressure meter only) and increase according to the size of meter required and any other special requirements, such as meter housing / kiosk, concrete base, automated meter reading, or converter.
Medium pressure meters are more expensive due to increased danger and the engineer skills required to manage higher pressure gas installations.

National Cancer Survivors Day 2021:10 Hopeful Quotes To Inspire Cancer Survivors and Fighters
Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide. According to WHO, over 45% of people around the world were estimated to be affected by this disease between 2008-2030. It was also projected that 10 and 11 million cancers will be diagnosed each year in lowand middle-income countries by 2030. Right now, there are millions of people worldwide fighting this insidious disease. We know cancer isn't all rainbows and sunshine and keeping a positive outlook during this time can be quite difficult. But sometimes messages of hope can always inspire strength.
Many cancer patients hold on to optimistic messages that promise good times hard and helps them to get through each day with the promise of hope on the horizon. Here are few quotes that we hope might inspire every cancer survivor and fighter to hold on and fight the good fight.
 - "Be thankful for this day. You are here, breathing and living life. Even if it's not the life you want or hoped for, it's life. There's always something to be thankful for."
 - "Never give up. Never give in. Never, ever, ever give up."
 - "Cancer is a word, not a sentence. Cancer is NOT a death sentence. It's just one word in your sentence; one part of your life."
 - "It is often in the darkest skies that we see the brightest stars. Try and find some beauty in your situation. You won't be the person you were before cancer, but that does not have to be a bad thing."
 - "I had cancer, cancer never had me. You are not defined by what you are going through. Cancer will never have you. You are much more than your disease."
 - "Optimism: someone who figures that taking a step backwards after taking a step forward is not a disaster; it's more like a cha-cha. You may not be where you want to be right now, but you're just doing the dance that is called life."
 - "Small steps every day. Every small step counts. You might not reach your goal today but that is okay."
 - "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagined. Don't let cancer cause you to sell yourself short or forget your worth."
 - "Good thoughts only. The bad thoughts will try and sneak in, but don't let them. Focus only on the good thoughts."
 - "Broken crayons still colour. Nobody's perfect. If you feel broken, don't let that determine your worth. You can still do so much."
National Cancer Survivors Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday in June. In 2021, National Cancer Survivors Day will fall on June 6. The day is meant to "demonstrate that life after a cancer diagnosis can be a reality".

theta is always negative for long calls and long put
Discussion in 'P1.T3. Financial Markets & Products (30%)' started by qin841121, May 9, 2012.

 This is a statement by schweser and also investopedia. How can it be true?
 For long put, the longer the option, the cheaper it may get as the expected price of stock will be higher due to interest and because of this the put will decrease in value?
 What is wrong with my logic?
 2. Theta for a long call is always negative. True.
 However, Theta of a long put always exceeds the theta of a call by a fixed amount. Hence for out-of-money puts, the theta may be positive also.
 Another concept to be aware of, theta is measured in terms of "time remaining to maturity (T-t)" in contrast to "time passed (t)" - thinking in terms of "time passed" may be akin to reversing the sign of theta.

text: English: occupational name for a scribe or secretary, originally a member of a minor religious order who undertook such duties. The word clerc denoted a member of a religious order, from Old English cler(e)c 'priest', reinforced by Old French clerc. Both are from Late Latin clericus, from Greek klērikos, a derivative of klēros 'inheritance', 'legacy', with reference to the priestly tribe of Levites (see Levy) 'whose inheritance was the Lord'. In medieval Christian Europe, clergy in minor orders were permitted to marry and so found families; thus the surname could become established. In the Middle Ages it was virtually only members of religious orders who learned to read and write, so that the term clerk came to denote any literate man.

Types of Bonds
The bricks being uniform in size can be arranged in a variety of ways. The following are the various types of bonds used in brick masonry :
In this type of Bond all the bricks are laid as stretchers, that is length wise, as shown in Fig. 2.29. This bond is used-in half brick thick walls.
In this bond, all the bricks are laid all headers. The elevation of the wall laid in header bond is shown in Fig. 2.30. This bond is used for curved surfaces in work such as well lining or well foundation etc.
This is the most common and popular bond and is used in most of the structures. The English bond consists of alternate layers of headers and stretchers. That is to say, one layer will be of stretchers and the other layer of headers.
The following are main features of English bond :
- The alternate courses are of headers and stretchers.
- Each alternate header is centrally supported over a stretcher.
- If the thickness of a wall is an uneven or odd number of half bricks, there will be best stretchers on the face and headers on the back, similarly headers on the face and stretchers on the back of the wall in every course.
- If the thickness of the wall is an even number of half bricks, there will be stretchers on the face and stretchers on the back ; similarly, headers on the face and headers on the back every course of the wall.
- The walls having a thickness of two bricks or more will have stretchers or headers on the face and back of the wall whereas the interior will be filled with header only.
Arrangement of Bricks in English Bond
Two, one brick thick walls meeting at right angles at the corner. Fig. 2.32.
Two one and a half brick walls meeting at right the corner. Fig. 2.33
Two, two bricks thick walls meeting at right angles at the corner. Fig. 2.34
Two walls, one brick thick and one and a half brick thick, meeting at right angles at the centre (T-junction). Fig. 2.37.
Two brick and one and a half brick T-junction, (e) Two, one and a half brick thick walls crossing each other at right angles. Fig. 2.39.
In this type of bond, each course consists of header and structures alternately arranged. The Flemish bond as of two types, viz, Single Flemish and Double Flemish, The single Flemish bond consists of Flemish bond on the face of the wall and English bond on the back of the wall. Whereas the double Flemish bond consists of Flemish bond on the face as well as on the back of the wall.
Flemish bond admits the use of greater number of brick bats and hence it is economical. But English bond is stronger than Flemish bond. It is also claimed that Flemish bond is better in appearance than the English bond.
It is a modification over the English bond and consists of alternate courses of headers and stretchers, except that every stretcher course starts with a three-quarter brick and in every alternate stretcher course in header is placed after the three quarter brick as shown in Fig. 2.46.
The walls which are more than two-brick thick will become weaker in longitudinal strength, as the headers being used in the interior of the wall to increase the transverse strength. This defect is removed by using raking bond (rake means inclination). In this bond the bricks are laid at some inclination to the face of the wall.
There are two varieties of raking bond, Diagonal bond and Herring bone bond.
(i) Diagonal bond.
This type of bond is employed in walls, which are 2 to 4 thick. In this bond, the face bricks are first laid and then the bricks are laid diagonally. The inclination of the bricks should be so adjusted that the bricks may be filled without cut ting.
(ii) Herring bone bond.
This bond is best suited for walls which are at least 4 bricks thick. In this case, the bricks are laid at an angle of 45° in both directions, commencing from the center line as shown in Fig. 2.47.
Raking bond pattern of laying bricks is also sometimes used for laying bricks on the floors.
Garden Wall Bond.
There are two types of garden wall bond viz. English Garden Bond and Flemish Garden Bond. In the English garden bond, one course of headers is used after every three to four courses of stretchers, whereas in the Flemish garden bond, in each course one header is used after every three or four stretchers
This bond is used when the bricks for the face work are costlier than the other bricks and as such the number of face bricks is economized by using more stretchers. This bond is also used when the thickness of the face and back bricks is different. There are a number of stretcher courses followed by header courses. The thickness of stretcher courses should be multiple of the thickness of thinner bricks. For example, the thickness of face bricks is 5 cm and that of back bricks in 3 cm. Then after three courses of face bricks and five courses of back bricks the height of face and back bricks will become the same. Now at this height header course should be provided.


History - Pig Piggy Banks
Go to content
History banner
The pig brings luck or fortune
For the association with luck or fortune there is historic proof:
 - On the year markets in the middle ages it was custom to honour the winner of games and to give a piglet to the loser. Causing joy and laughter with the bystanders, but it was good fortune for the loser.
 - In German speaking countries it was custom until the 19th century to give apprentices (youngsters who were sent out to become a craftsman) a piglet as reward for a full years learning and labour.
 - It is custom in German speaking countries to give each other a small marzipan pig or piggy bank (in the shape of a pig) for New Year as a token of luck.
 - There are various legends of Saint Anthony the Great (17th January) with pigs. His nick name is "Anthony with the pig".
 - In ancient Egypt on New Year's day an amulet in the shape of a sow (a symbol of fertility, prosperity and good luck) was presented to a woman.
 - In the northern counties of The Netherlands (Friesland, Groningen) it is still custom that someone from the closest family circle gives a new born baby a piggy bank, as a token for prosperity and good luck. Stuffed with money this is the base for the baby's "fortune". The institutional Saving Banks in the Western Society followed that custom (also for their own benefit): children were offered a piggy bank (any shape) for opening a savings account. This was popular between 1950 and 1980. Since the introduction of internet banking this tradition is (sadly) completely lost!
Basic shape and the oldest pig piggy bank
 - The basic shape of a penny bank was the mother's breast. In the ancient Greek culture this was a symbol of prosperity and fertility. This basic penny bank model was found in excavations all over Europe. Potters introduced this easy to produce shape in the Middle Ages (12-14th century).
 - From medieval times on a large wooden heavy sacrifice coffin stood in the church porch. With a slot in which the faithful were expected to put their sacrifice, a donation in coins. These coffins were often found empty because others could not stay away with their sticky fingers. They put a glue stick (used in other occasions to catch singing birds) through the slot and coins remained on the stick.
 - A similar method can also be applied to your piggy bank. Grab a large knife and insert it into the slot while you keep the piggy bank upside down. Shake a little and the coins will slide along the knife out of the pig. Don't ever put paper money in your piggy bank. If you are able to get it out, it will mostly be in pieces.
 - The oldest (13th century; amongst experts disputable!) European piggy bank was found in Billeben (Thüringen, Germany). Certain is that potters from the 17th century on produced clay money banks (also) in the shape of animals like a pig. Other craftsmen started to produce them in tin, metal, silver, etc. The industrial production of ceramic piggy banks, with moulds, started approximately in the middle of the 19th century.
 - In the early centuries people did indeed break their piggy banks and threw the fragments in the cess pool. To find out what form an early piggy bank has, research on fragments is helpful.
Where ever earthenware or porcelain industry is, or has been, one can find piggy banks. In the Netherlands there are well known places like Gouda, Delft, Makkum. In France Quimper (Brittany), Limoges, Lunéville. In the UK one has to search in Staffordshire. Or take a chance on antique markets, boot fairs, etc. In Germany one can try to find piggy banks in the Alsace or the former GDR. In Czechoslovakia I found many piggy banks about 20 years ago, nowadays they all are with stoppers! If you are visiting Thailand you can buy piggy banks in Chiang Mai for example. There are opportunities to find them in Mexico, Vietnam, Africa, South America and lots of them in the USA, etc.
Where ever you are, visit the local souvenir shop, crockery shop, toy shop, charity shop. Don't search for piggy banks in countries where it is not custom to eat pork. Where a pig is an unclean animal, in principle you will not find any pig piggy bank.

This article is about the Semitic letter. For the band, see Qoph (band).
Phonemic representation kˤ, q, g
Position in alphabet 19
Numerical value 100
Alphabetic derivatives of the Phoenician
Qoph or Qop is the nineteenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician Qōp Phoenician qoph.svg, Hebrew Qof ק, Aramaic Qop Qoph.svg, Syriac Qōp̄ ܩ, and Arabic Qāf ق (in abjadi order). Its sound value is an emphatic [] or [q]. In Hebrew gematria, it has the numerical value of 100.
The origin of qoph is uncertain. It is usually suggested to have originally depicted either a sewing needle, specifically the eye of a needle (the Hebrew קוף means "hole"), or the back of a head and neck (qāf in Arabic meant "nape").[1] According to an older suggestion, it may also have been a picture of a monkey and its tail.[2]
Hebrew Qof[edit]
The Oxford Hebrew-English Dictionary gives the letter Qoph a transliteration value of q or k; and, when word-final, it may be transliterated as ck. The normal English spellings of Biblical names containing this letter may represent it as C or K, e.g. Cain for Hebrew Qayin, or Kenan for Qenan (Genesis 4:1, 5:9).
Orthographic variants
Various print fonts Cursive
Serif Sans-serif Monospaced
ק ק ק Hebrew letter Kuf handwriting.svg Hebrew letter Kuf Rashi.png
Hebrew spelling: קוֹף
In modern Israeli Hebrew the letter is also called kuf. The letter represents /k/; i.e., no distinction is made between Qof and Kaph. However, many historical groups have made that distinction, with Qof being pronounced [q] by Iraqi Jews and other Mizrahim, or even as [ɡ] by Yemenite Jews under the influence of Yemeni Arabic.
Significance of Qof[edit]
Qof in gematria represents the number 100. Sarah is described in Genesis Rabba as בת ק' כבת כ' שנה לחטא, literally "At Qof years of age, she was like Kaph years of age in sin", meaning that when she was 100 years old, she was as sinless as when she was 20.
After a child says something false, one might retort: "B'Shin Qoph, Resh" (with Shin, Qoph, Resh). These letters spell sheqer, which is the Hebrew word for a lie. It would be akin to an English speaker saying "That's an L-I-E."
Arabic qāf[edit]
The letter ق is named قاف qāf and is written in several ways depending on its position in the word:
Position in word: Isolated Final Medial Initial
Glyph form: ق ـق ـقـ قـ
It is usually transliterated into Latin script as q, though some scholarly works use.[3]
According to Sibawayh, author of the first book on Arabic grammar, the letter is pronounced as a voiced phoneme.[4] As noted above, Modern Standard Arabic has the voiceless uvular plosive /q/ as its standard pronunciation of the letter, but dialectical pronunciations vary as follows:
This variance has led to the confusion over the spelling of Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi's name in Latin letters. In Western Arabic dialects the sound [q] is more preserved but can also be sometimes pronounced [ɡ] or as a simple [k] under Berber and French influence.
The Maghribi text renders qāf and fā' differently than elsewhere would:
منكم فقد ضل سواء السبيل فبما نقضهم ميثـٰـقهم لعنـٰـهم وجعلنا قلوبهم قـٰـسية يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه ونسوا حظاً مما ذكروا به ولا تزال تطلع
Maghrebi variant[edit]
The Maghrebi style of writing qāf is different: having only a single point (dot) above; when the letter is isolated or word-final, it may sometimes become unpointed.[5]
The Maghrebi qāf
Position in word: Isolated Final Medial Initial
Form of letter: ٯ ـٯ ـڧـ ڧـ
The earliest Arabic manuscripts show qāf in several variants: pointed (above or below) or unpointed.[6] Then the prevalent convention was having a point above for fā' and a point below for qāf; this practice is now only preserved in manuscripts from the Maghribi,[7] with the exception of Libya and Algeria, where the Mashriqi form (two dots above: ق) prevails.
Within Maghribi texts, there is no possibility of confusing it with the letter fā', as it is instead written with a dot underneath (ڢ) in the Maghribi script.[8]
In Persian, the letter is pronounced [ɣ]~[ɢ].

 2. ^ Isaac Taylor, History of the Alphabet: Semitic Alphabets, Part 1, 2003: "The old explanation, which has again been revived by Halévy, is that it denotes an 'ape,' the character Q being taken to represent an ape with its tail hanging down.

On 21 May, twenty four pilgrims, including Fr Darryl Mackie and Sr Helen Clarke rsc, gathered in Dublin to begin their journey around sacred sites that were part of the Mary Aikenhead story.
Pilgrims were drawn from across Mary Aikenhead Ministries: some from education and some from health care; one staff member from the Sisters of Charity congregational office also joined the pilgrimage as did Sr Maureen Heffernan (as a Sister of Charity).
In addition, this year we were honoured to have Bishop Terry Brady, auxiliary Bishop of Sydney, as a pilgrim. Bishop Terry and Father Darryl shared leadership of the liturgies at various sites.
The pilgrimage took us from Dublin, to Cork, to Galway and Foxford, then back to Dublin, and finally to Glendalough for two reflective days.
A highlight of the pilgrimage was meeting the Irish Sisters of Charity in different places and accepting their hospitality. Sr Mary Christian, Congregational Leader, hosted our opening liturgy and dinner at Sandymount, Dublin, and the Sisters of Charity crossed our paths throughout the entire pilgrimage.
Each day, pilgrims were encouraged to journal and then reflect on three aspects of the pilgrimage, "what did I learn today?", "what touched me today?" and "what will I take back to my ministry?" – head, heart, hands!
The pilgrimage ended on 30 May when the pilgrims were delivered back to Dublin Airport, after nine days together in the country that was home to Mary Aikenhead and the first Sisters of Charity who came to Australia.


Quick start for Internal Event Tracking
In an effort to provide a more efficient, scalable, and unified tracking API, GitLab is deprecating existing RedisHLL and Snowplow tracking. Instead, we're implementing a new track_event (Backend) and trackEvent(Frontend) method. With this approach, we can update both RedisHLL counters and send Snowplow events without worrying about the underlying implementation.
In order to instrument your code with Internal Events Tracking you need to do three things:
 1. Define an event
 2. Define one or more metrics
 3. Trigger the event
Defining event and metrics
To create event and/or metric definitions, use the internal_events generator from the gitlab directory:
ruby scripts/internal_events/cli.rb
This CLI will help you create the correct defintion files based on your specific use-case, then provide code examples for instrumentation and testing.
Events should be named in the format of <action>_<target_of_action>_<where/when>, valid examples are create_ci_build or click_previous_blame_on_blob_page.
Trigger events
Triggering an event and thereby updating a metric is slightly different on backend and frontend. Refer to the relevant section below.
Backend tracking
To trigger an event, call the track_internal_event method from the Gitlab::InternalEventsTracking module with the desired arguments:
include Gitlab::InternalEventsTracking
track_internal_event(
 "create_ci_build",
 user: user,
 namespace: namespace,
 project: project
)
This method automatically increments all RedisHLL metrics relating to the event create_ci_build, and sends a corresponding Snowplow event with all named arguments and standard context (SaaS only). In addition, the name of the class triggering the event is saved in the category property of the Snowplow event.
If you have defined a metric with a unique property such as unique: project.id it is required that you provide the project argument.
It is encouraged to fill out as many of user, namespace and project as possible as it increases the data quality and make it easier to define metrics in the future.
If a project but no namespace is provided, the project.namespace is used as the namespace for the event.
In some cases you might want to specify the category manually or provide none at all. To do that, you can call the InternalEvents.track_event method directly instead of using the module.
In case when a feature is enabled through multiple namespaces and its required to track why the feature is enabled, it is possible to pass an optional feature_enabled_by_namespace_ids parameter with an array of namespace ids.
track_internal_event(
 ...
 feature_enabled_by_namespace_ids: [namespace_one.id, namespace_two.id]
)
Additional properties
Additional properties can be passed when tracking events. They can be used to save additional data related to given event. It is possible to send a maximum of three additional properties with keys label (string), property (string) and value(numeric).
Additional properties are passed by including the additional_properties hash in the #track_event call:
track_internal_event(
 "create_ci_build",
 user: user,
 additional_properties: {
 label: 'scheduled',
 value: 20
 }
)
Controller and API helpers
There is a helper module ProductAnalyticsTracking for controllers you can use to track internal events for particular controller actions by calling #track_internal_event:
class Projects::PipelinesController < Projects::ApplicationController
 include ProductAnalyticsTracking
 track_internal_event :charts, name: 'visit_charts_on_ci_cd_pipelines', conditions: -> { should_track_ci_cd_pipelines? }
 def charts
 ...
 end
 private
 def should_track_ci_cd_pipelines?
 params[:chart].blank? || params[:chart] == 'pipelines'
 end
end
You need to add these two methods to the controller body, so that the helper can get the current project and namespace for the event:
 private
 def tracking_namespace_source
 project.namespace
 end
 def tracking_project_source
 project
 end
Also, there is an API helper:
track_event(
 event_name,
 user: current_user,
 namespace_id: namespace_id,
 project_id: project_id
)
Frontend tracking
Any frontend tracking call automatically passes the values user.id, namespace.id, and project.id from the current context of the page.
If you need to pass any further properties, such as extra, context, label, property, and value, you can use the deprecated snowplow implementation. In this case, let us know about your specific use-case in our feedback issue for Internal Events.
Vue components
In Vue components, tracking can be done with Vue mixin.
To implement Vue component tracking:
 1. Import the InternalEvents library and call the mixin method:
 import { InternalEvents } from '~/tracking';
 const trackingMixin = InternalEvents.mixin();

 2. Use the mixin in the component:
 export default {
 mixins: [trackingMixin],

 data() {
 return {
 expanded: false,
 };
 },
 };

 3. Call the trackEvent method. Tracking options can be passed as the second parameter:
 this.trackEvent('click_previous_blame_on_blob_page');

 Or use the trackEvent method in the template:
 <template>

 <button data-testid="toggle" @click="toggle">Toggle</button>

Hello world!

 <button @click="trackEvent('click_previous_blame_on_blob_page')">Track another event</button>

 </template>

Raw JavaScript
For tracking events directly from arbitrary frontend JavaScript code, a module for raw JavaScript is provided. This can be used outside of a component context where the Mixin cannot be utilized.
import { InternalEvents } from '~/tracking';
InternalEvents.trackEvent('click_previous_blame_on_blob_page');
Data-event attribute
This attribute ensures that if we want to track GitLab internal events for a button, we do not need to write JavaScript code on Click handler. Instead, we can just add a data-event-tracking attribute with event value and it should work. This can also be used with HAML views.
 <gl-button
 data-event-tracking="click_previous_blame_on_blob_page"
 >
 Click Me
 </gl-button>
Haml
= render Pajamas::ButtonComponent.new(button_options: { class: 'js-settings-toggle', data: { event_tracking: 'click_previous_blame_on_blob_page' }}) do
Internal events on render
Sometimes we want to send internal events when the component is rendered or loaded. In these cases, we can add the data-event-tracking-load="true" attribute:
= render Pajamas::ButtonComponent.new(button_options: { data: { event_tracking_load: 'true', event_tracking: 'click_previous_blame_on_blob_page' } }) do
 = _("New project")
Additional properties
Additional properties can be passed when tracking events. They can be used to save additional data related to given event. It is possible to send a maximum of three additional properties with keys label (string), property (string) and value(numeric).
For Vue Mixin:
 this.trackEvent('click_view_runners_button', {
 label: 'group_runner_form',
 property: dynamicPropertyVar,
 value: 20
 });
For raw JavaScript:
 InternalEvents.trackEvent('click_view_runners_button', {
 label: 'group_runner_form',
 property: dynamicPropertyVar,
 value: 20
 });
For data-event attributes:
 <gl-button
 data-event-tracking="click_view_runners_button"
 data-event-label="group_runner_form"
 :data-event-property=dynamicPropertyVar
 >
 Click Me
 </gl-button>
For Haml:
= render Pajamas::ButtonComponent.new(button_options: { class: 'js-settings-toggle', data: { event_tracking: 'action', event_label: 'group_runner_form', event_property: dynamic_property_var, event_value: 2 }}) do
Frontend testing
If you are using the trackEvent method in any of your code, whether it is in raw JavaScript or a Vue component, you can use the useMockInternalEventsTracking helper method to assert if trackEvent is called.
For example, if

Abstract #1025
Organ-based estimation of the chronological age based on 3D MRI scans

1University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany, 2University Hospital Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany
Age is an essential clinical parameter. It is often utilized as a risk factor for various disorders with the potential of influencing therapeutic decisions. However, a discrepancy exists between the chronological age (CA) and the biological age (BA) of an individual due to many factors such as medical history, genetics and lifestyle. In this preliminary work, we propose a novel deep-learning architecture for organ-specific CA estimation from 3D MR volumes for the brain and knee. We hypothesize that the introduced organ-specific approach would enable future analysis of the BA as different organs are expected to exhibit different aging characteristics.

Cocaine sold in Ireland is most commonly cut down with a veterinary drug to treat parasitic worm infections, according to a new report on illicit drug use by Forensic Science Ireland.
Levamisole, a veterinary medication used to treat parasitic worm infections, is thought to be added during cocaine production to increase its effects.
Cocaine seized in Ireland last year was commonly adulterated with levamisole, benzocaine, lignocaine, caffeine, and phenacetin.
Benzocaine and lignocaine, which is also known as lidocaine, are local anaesthetics commonly used by dentists.
Phenacetin is a painkiller which has been banned in a number of countries as overuse has been linked to certain cancers.
Meanwhile, the average purity of amphetamine seizures analysed in 2015 was 9.2%.
Street level cocaine had an average purity of 28% in Dublin and 19% outside Dublin, while street level heroin was 33% in Dublin and 35% outside Dublin.
The purity of bulk cocaine and bulk heroin seizures was 40%.
Across Europe, amphetamine seizures last year were generally 9-19% pure, with cocaine typically found to have purity levels of 33-50% and heroin generally 13-23%.
Forensic Science Ireland analyses illicit drugs seized by An Garda Síochána and the Customs Service and issues Certificates of Analysis for court purposes.
Common adulterants found in heroin were caffeine and paracetamol. The most common adulterant found in amphetamine is caffeine.
FSI's Director of Chemical Services this afternoon said people really do not know what they are getting when they buy drugs on the street.
Speaking on RTÉ's News At One, Dr Tom Hannigan said many of the drugs sold may not even contain the substance people think they are buying.
"Basically when somebody buys something on the street, they really do not know what they're getting. They may not even be getting the drug that they think they're getting, so that's the danger we're warning against."

Sound of Metal is a 2020 drama directed by Darius Marder and starring Riz Ahmed as Ruben, a drummer who loses his hearing and struggles to adapt to his new reality. The film follows Ruben as he grapples with his identity and the loss of his career, and turns to a community of deaf individuals for support and guidance.
Sound of Metal is a moving and well-acted film that explores themes of identity, loss, and the importance of community. Ahmed gives a powerful and nuanced performance as Ruben, and the supporting cast, which includes Olivia Cooke and Paul Raci, is also excellent. The film's direction is also noteworthy, with effective use of sound design and cinematography to convey the experience of hearing loss.
One of the strengths of Sound of Metal is its authentic portrayal of the deaf community and the challenges faced by individuals who lose their hearing. The film does a great job of capturing the emotional and practical challenges that Ruben faces, as well as the sense of belonging and purpose that he finds within the deaf community.
Overall, Sound of Metal is a highly moving and well-acted film that is a must-see for fans of dramas or anyone interested in exploring themes of identity, loss, and the importance of community. Its strong performances, authentic portrayal of the deaf community, and well-written script make it a standout film of 2020.

Running your iPad with a wireless connection can work well for most. But if you are running a continuous application like Robin, in a space where frequent wifi drop offs are common you may want to consider hardwiring your iPads to run off an ethernet connection.
What do I need to connect my iPad to a wired ethernet?
The iPad doesn't offer an ethernet port so you will need a few adapters. We've tested and confirmed the following set up, but other adapter configurations may work, too.
Once you have the correct adapters setting up ethernet is simple.
- First disable both wifi and bluetooth on your iPad.
- Plug the lightning end of the lightning to USB camera adapter into the iPad.
- Connect the iPad power supply and usb ethernet adapter into the lightning to usb camera adapter.
- Lastly plug one end of the ethernet cable into the usb ethernet adapter, and the other end into your router or ethernet wall outlet.
After a few moments you can confirm your iPad is connected to the internet via wired ethernet connection when the "Ethernet" tab appears in the settings.

Repeat on True(dowhile)
The current iterator feature allows a user to repeat an activity on a fixed number of times by configuring the iterate property. However, there are are certain scenarios where a user would like to repeat an activity based on the output of the current activity or previous activties. To support this, a new feature Repeat on true has been included as part of release 0.9.4.
Flow configuration
Repeat on True(dowhile) are associated with an activity. The activity must have the type declared and set to doWhile.
To begin with, the Repeat on true feature has two attributes under setting
 1. condition: A boolean expression that can be built using the current activity's output and previous activity's outputs.
 2. delay: The time in milliseconds to wait before executing the next iteration, by default, the delay is 0 implying there will be no delay between each iteration.
Along with the current and previous activities' output, the value for condition can use a special attribute $iteration[index] to track the index of the iteration. This is often useful if the user does not want the activity to repeat indefinitely.
{
 "id": "rest_3",
 "name": "REST Invoke",
 "description": "Invokes a REST Service",
 "settings": {
 "condition": "$activity[RESTInvoke].data.username == \"Bret\" && $iteration[index]<=3",
 "delay": 2000
 },
 "type": "doWhile",
 "activity": {
 "ref": "#rest",
 "settings": {
 "method": "GET",
 "uri": "_URL_
 }
 }
}
Important note: The condition evalucate after activity execution and $iteration[index] start with 0, which also means first execution must been made to determin next or not base on condition. The activity will always been execute $iteration[index] + 1 times
Since the activity is of type "doWhile", the condition attribute is evaluated to determine if/not the activity must be repeated. For the above activity, since the first part of the condition is always true for that url, the second part i.e $iteration[index]<=3 will determine if the activity needs to be repeated or not.

Anxiety, Advice, and the Ability to Discern: Feeling Anxious Motivates Individuals to Seek and Use Advice
Across eight experiments, we describe the influence of anxiety on advice seeking and advice taking. We find that anxious individuals are more likely to seek and rely on advice than are those in a neutral emotional state (Experiment 1), but this pattern of results does not generalize to other negatively-valenced emotions (Experiment 2). The relationships between anxiety and advice seeking and anxiety and advice taking are mediated by self-confidence; anxiety lowers self-confidence, which increases advice seeking and reliance upon advice (Experiment 3). Though anxiety also impairs information processing, impaired information processing does not mediate the relationship between anxiety and advice taking (Experiment 4). Finally, we find that anxious individuals fail to discriminate between good and bad advice (Experiment 5a-c), and between advice from advisors with and without a conflict of interest (Experiment 6).

I am using ArcGIS 10.3 for Desktop to build a large inventory of urban trees to be used for tree risk assessment purposes. This inventory was originally in a relational Microsoft Access database, and I have spent the last few months structuring a new database using ArcGIS. I have created relationship classes between the main Feature Class ("Tree_Info") and other secondary tables, such as the "Inspection" table with risk assessment information.
In the "Inspection" table, there is a field called "Significant" which is a boolean 1-Yes 0-No. Not surprisingly, the "Significant" field represents trees of significant importance.
I have 4 other fields in the "Inspection" table which I ONLY want populated when "Significant" is populated by 1-Yes. These fields include "Rem_Mod" (Can the tree be removed or modified? Yes or No), "Sig_Type" (Signficance Type: historic, cultural, memorial, etc.), "DBH" (Diameter at Breast Height), Crown_Sprd (Crown Spread). If the "Significant" field is populated by 0-No, then these 4 fields can be left null.
I've looked into Subtypes, and I'm not sure this is what it is intended to do.
I'm not a programmer, and I am relying on the native ArcGIS tools, unless someone has a different simple solution. I'm at a loss of what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make these 4 fields conditional upon the tree's significance?

 Are you using ArcGis? If so the YES subtypes is what you want, each subtype can have different domains attached so a field for not-significant has a domain with only one coded value (0) while significant trees have a domain with 0/1. You need to create two coded value domains before creating the subtypes. May 27, 2015 at 21:58

 What you're describing could be done with subtypes, and to some degree it could also be done with a feature template (where you'd have a template for not significant, but all others would have to be entered manually). The check you're talking about (this field is x, these fields must be y) is typically something that is checked/validated rather than enforced at creation, unless you're designing some type of form in a collection software.

 It may not be worth the effort, if you're going to ignore the values for non-significant trees what does it matter what goes into them. From my ArcPad days I remember creating collection forms where this behavior was written into the form (as @ChrisW said)... how are you going to collect this data? Notebook, Tablet PC (Android/Mac)... and what software? I think Collector for ArcGis (_URL_) should be able to put the decision logic onto a form removing the need for rigid domains/subtypes but (as yet) I haven't had any exposure to it so can't say for sure. May 27, 2015 at 22:42
 - Thanks for all of your suggestions. I'm not creating/using a collection form, and I am useless at customization. At first, I created a subtype for the "Significant" field. When it was equal to 0-No, I set the defaults for the 4 fields I want left blank/null/no data. But when Significant was equal to 1-Yes, I couldn't figure a way to REQUIRE the 4 fields to be populated. SO, instead, I am moving the "Significant" field to my primary table, "TREE_INFO", and creating a relationship class to a new table called "SIGNIFICANT".

It may be worth your while taking a look at Survey123 for ArcGIS. This is an Esri app that allows you to use conditional logic while collecting data. At the moment it can only be used to collect points (no lines or polygons) so this may rule it out straight away. It is form centric, not map centric and can only be used to collect data - i.e. you cannot edit points as in Collector yet.
There is a Windows app that you could use while collating the data - this wouldn't have to be done on a phone. The data is stored in a feature service so you can download the data in whatever format you want, e.g. geodatabase. Also note that the conditional logic is stored at an app level, not at a database level.

I assume you are dealing with field survey. Unfortunately collector does not support 'high' logic, E-forms do. The simplest solution are 2 identical feature classes, just show/high fields accordingly. Merge them after survey completion.
If you truly realy want single dataset, use related tables, collector supports them. Keep common fields in the table of parent feature class. From remaing fields create 2 tables in the same database - SIGNIFICANT and NOTSO. Create relationship of FC with these tables (one to one will do, unless you want to repeat inspections from time to time). Show/hide fields in related tables. After survey completion merge 2 tables and join result to FC.

ArcGIS doesn't support this as a native operation. There are ways numerous ways to achieve it but each requires customization. We use 3 different ways to accomplish what you're asking. Plus, I have an extra few ideas, too.
1 - We create a custom ArcPad project. Once you create the input form, you have options to handle certain events for your controls, like LostFocus. You would need to pick a proper event, we use LostFocusand also attach a routine to the Save click in order to verify the data in the form is up to our standards. If not, the form will not close. This is done via some VBScript behind the scenes.
2 - Create a custom ArcMap(ish) type of program or ArcMap extension using ArcObjects. You can create a custom input form within ArcMap or a customized program used in place of ArcMap to do collection. Mind you, there needs to be a Desktop or Engine license running on the machine. This is done usually in VB.NET or C# for the back-end. It can be complex if since ArcObjects deals with everything via COM interfaces. I wouldn't say it is entirely for the newest developer to handle.
3 - I built a custom collection program based off of ThinkGeo's WPF .NET tools. I created my own input form and supplied validations similar to what you're using it for. We actually use it for tree inventory and other types of collections (our companies are probably competitors). I have always found with these collections that just making things required is the simplest of validations to be performed. WPF is nice as a basis to build a collection software due to the availability of many different events you can handle and verify the data.
Other Ideas - Depending on how much you trust field collectors to do their jobs right (we don't really at all) you could put together a script that will run and verify their data. It could select and prompt the user with features that don't match your standards. BUT. It would be up to them to run it and up to them to correct their data. This could be done in ArcPy or another language that could check the .DBF behind the scenes. If you're collecting through something like Excel (just populating a table with info as you walk about), there are wizards in there to establish conditions. A quick search on Google should give you a good idea of how to do that.
All of these options depend on the skill level of your development team and the amount of faith you put into your collectors. Beware though, as soon as one project manager hears you can validate one piece of data, their minds will quickly expand to numerous other forms of validations to add. That is how my required validation quickly moved into numerous other forms of data validation.

Reduced order models for resonant viscosity and mass density sensors
Sprache des Titels:
A generalized reduced order model for resonant viscosity and mass density sensors is presented and experimentally verified. The reduced expressions for the resonance frequency and quality factor, respec- tively, are mathematically valid for in-plane oscillating plates, oscillating spheres and laterally oscillating cylinders. However, as shown for measurements obtained with a tuning fork resonator with rectangular cross-section, the model can also be applied for resonating structures, for which closed form solutions of the fluid structure interaction are not available. Benefits of the presented model are amongst others first, its simplicity, which requires no more than three calibration measurements for parameter identification and second, its general applicability for resonant mass density and viscosity sensors which furthermore facilitates the comparison of different resonant mass density and viscosity sensors in terms of sensitivity and measurement noise propagation.

Christopher Peacocke is Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University. Click here to listen to our conversation with him.
In this episode, Christopher Peacocke discusses what it is to hear an emotion in a piece of music. Even instrumental music seems to be emotionally charged–minor chords, for example, usually have a melancholy ring to them. But it isn't entirely clear why this should be. What it is about certain combinations of notes that makes them feel a certain way?
Christopher Peacocke argues that hearing an emotion in a piece of music can be likened to what happens when we think metaphorically. A tree in a painting might strike the viewer as having subtly humanoid features, for example. In this case, the viewer is seeing the depicted tree metaphorically as a person. Similarly, when we hear sadness in a piece of music, we are hearing the music metaphorically as a vocal expression of sadness.
Our guest concludes by noting how this theory of musical emotion can be used to explain the difference between romantic, classical, impressionist, and expressionist music.

The World Bank is providing a loan and GEF grant to the Republic of Moldova to implement a sustainable farming programme focused on promoting agricultural exports through the enhancement of sustainable land management practices.
1 May 2012: The World Bank has approved a US$18 million credit and US$4.4 million Global Environment Facility (GEF) grant to provide funding for a programme in Moldova aimed at supporting the competitiveness of the agro-food sector.
The main goals of the Moldova Agricultural Competitive Project are to modernize the food safety management system, create more market accessibility for farmers, and mainstream agro-environmental and sustainable land management (SLM) practices. The World Bank and GEF funding will also serve to provide regulatory and institutional support for agricultural growth and export competitiveness.
According to the World Bank, the project will not only support Moldova's economic growth model, but it will do so in conformity with the principles of sustainable growth. It is expected to generate environmental benefits, such as carbon sequestration, reduced land degradation and pollution from agro-chemicals, and better soil management practices.

text: Tracking primary radiation-induced processes in matter requires ultrafast sources and high precision timing. While compact laser-driven ion accelerators are seeding the development of novel high instantaneous flux applications, combining the ultrashort ion and laser pulse durations with their inherent synchronicity to trace the real-time evolution of initial damage events has yet to be realized. Here we report on the absolute measurement of proton bursts as short as 3.5±0.7 ps from laser solid target interactions for this purpose. Our results verify that laser-driven ion acceleration can deliver interaction times over a factor of hundred shorter than those of state-of-the-art accelerators optimized for high instantaneous flux. Furthermore, these observations draw ion interaction physics into the field of ultrafast science, opening the opportunity for quantitative comparison with both numerical modelling and the adjacent fields of ultrafast electron and photon interactions in matter.


text: Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric analytical methodology widely used in efficiency measurement of decision making units (DMUs). Conventionally, after identifying the efficient frontier, each DMU is compared to this frontier and classified as efficient or inefficient. This thesis introduces the most productive scale size (MPSS), and antimost productive scale size (AMPSS), and proposes several models to calculate various distances between DMUs and both frontiers. Specifically, the distances considered in this paper include: (1) both the distance to MPSS and the distance to AMPSS, where the former reveals a unit's potential opportunity to become a best performer while the latter reveals its potential risk to become a worst performer, and (2) both the closest distance and the farthest distance to frontiers, which may proved different valuable benchmarking information for units. Subsequently, based on these distances, eight efficiency indices are introduced to rank DMUs. Due to different distances adopted in these indices, the efficiency of units can be evaluated from diverse perspectives with different indices employed. In addition, all units can be fully ranked by these indices.
