|Title:||Evolving Possibilistic Fuzzy Modelling|
|Abstract:||This paper suggests an evolving possibilistic approach for fuzzy modelling of time-varying processes. The approach is based on an extension of the well-known possibilistic fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering and functional fuzzy rule-based modelling. Evolving possibilistic fuzzy modelling (ePFM) employs memberships and typicalities to recursively cluster data, and uses participatory learning to adapt the model structure as a stream data is input. The idea of possibilistic clustering plays a key role when the data are noisy and with outliers due to the relaxation of the restriction on membership degrees to add up unity in FCM clustering algorithm. To show the usefulness of ePFM, the approach is addressed for system identification using Box & Jenkins gas furnace data as well as time series forecasting considering the chaotic Mackey-Glass series and data produced by a synthetic time-varying process with parameter drift. The results show that ePFM is a potential candidate for nonlinear time-varying systems modelling, with comparable or better performance than alternative approaches, mainly when noise and outliers affect the data available.|

Let's visit every node of the tree once, keeping track of what depth we are on. We can do this with a simple DFS.
When we visit a node, info[depth] will be a two element list, keeping track of the sum of the nodes we have seen at this depth, and the number of nodes we have seen. This is necessary and sufficient to be able to compute the average value at this depth.
At the end of our traversal, we can simply read off the answer.
def averageOfLevels(self, root): info = def dfs(node, depth = 0): if node: if len(info) <= depth: info.append([0, 0]) info[depth] += node.val info[depth] += 1 dfs(node.left, depth + 1) dfs(node.right, depth + 1) dfs(root) return [s/float(c) for s, c in info]
@awice hello! I cannot understand info[depth] += node.val and parameter root of dfs(root) . thank you
@lusaty Not sure if you figured it out since your original post.
Each element of
info contains a list with the sum of all node values and a count of all nodes for each level of the tree.
info[depth] += node.val adds the current node's value to the sum of node values for the
depth level of the tree.
dfs() function performs a depth-first search of the tree, storing the sum and count of nodes for each level of the tree.
dfs(root) starts this process with the given root node.
Hi @lusaty . Think you would be able to understand the code below:
- Having a dictionary with key as the level and value as the sum of all nodes in that level
- Result is a list that contains the average of number of nodes in that level
class Solution(object): def averageOfLevels(self, root): """ :type root: TreeNode :rtype: List[float] """ def helper(root, level): if not root: return self.ans[level] += [root.val] helper(root.left, level+1) helper(root.right, level+1) if not root: return self.ans = collections.defaultdict(list) result = helper(root, 1) for key, value in self.ans.items(): result.append(float(sum(value))/len(value)) return result

Threat Assessment Team
The Threat Assessment Alert Team (TAAT) is dedicated to a proactive, coordinated and planned identification, prevention, assessment, management, and reduction of interpersonal and behavioral threats to the safety and well-being of students, faculty, staff and visitors of Roxbury Community College.
Threat assessment is designed to be a preventative process used to identify warning signs and intervene before something preventable happens. Cases are NOT managed on a first-come, first served basis. Rather, all cases are triaged and the most serious cases are managed first. All cases, regardless of the immediacy, will be reviewed and managed in the manner most appropriate for the situation.
In the event of an imminent or significant threat posed, the matter should be immediately referred to the College's Office of Public Safety and/or the Boston Police Department. This document outlines the process the team will follow upon receiving a referral for threatening, problematic, or concerning student behavior.
The College has a commitment to ensure that no retaliatory actions are taken against any person or persons who submit a referral form to the team.

Reduce your lead exposure
Let the water run
Water is more likely to absorb the lead from your plumbing if it sits for several hours.
If you haven't run water through your faucet for several hours, you should:
- Let the cold-water faucet run until you feel that the water is as cold as it will get.
- Run the water for 2 -3 minutes if you have a lead waterline.
Use cold water
Hot water dissolves lead faster than cold water.
- If you need hot water, heat it after it comes out of the faucet.
- Use only cold water for drinking, cooking and baby formula.
When lead in water is not a concern
You do not have to worry about lead in water that you use to:
- Flush the toilet
- Run your dishwasher
- Water plants

Lots of my workshop participants are government employees who don't have or can't find style guides and/or they're not allowed to download eyedropper tools to locate color codes. Microsoft Paint to the rescue!
Hi! I am Matt Feldmann with Goshen Education Consulting in Southwestern Illinois (near St. Louis). Ann asked me to write this guest blog post to show you how to look up specific RGB color codes with a program you likely have already pre-installed on your computer–Microsoft Paint. Ann has previously discussed how to use an Instant eyedropper program to look up these color codes and how to use those codes to change your color scheme in Excel. If you are like me, you don't like to download new software…and you don't need to if you use Microsoft Windows.
Take a Screenshot and Paste It Into Paint
- I use shortcut keys. Press: ALT+PRTSCN
- Open MS Paint.
- Paste your screen shot using either CTRL+V, right clicking on your mouse and selecting PASTE, or selecting the PASTE button in MS Paint.
The following is a pasted screenshot from an upcoming conference:
Use Color Picker to Identify a Color
Color Picker looks like an eyedropper and it is in the Tools section. It is identified below with my red arrow:
Select the Desired Color with the Eyedropper and Select Edit Colors
I selected the green color with the eyedropper and it automatically switched Color 1 to green.
Edit Colors is on the far right.
Record the RGB Codes for Future Use
The following is the screen that pops up when you edit colors. The Red, Green, Blue colors are on the right.
But wait–isn't Paint dead? Apparently not. However, if you want to use the newer MS Paint 3D program (which is preloaded with Windows 10), there also is an eyedropper that records your RGB codes. As a bonus, it will also give you a Hex code.
You can also paste the picture in PowerPoint and use the eyedropper there: _URL_
Thanks for the hint. I just tried it and learned something new.
Yes, in newer versions. When did they add the eyedropper, in the 2010 or 2013 version? I know it's been there a while now. I gave a workshop a couple weeks ago where staff were still using Office 2003 products. Yikes. And it's fairly common to see 2007 or 2010 software. Luckily there are workarounds, like using Paint, for just about everything.
Paint is a wonderfully simple and robust product. I just finished a report where I needed to shrink the file size of pictures, and paint made it pretty simple. I am NOT a graphic design expert. All I did was open the picture in Paint and shrink the picture size; I literally selected Resize and shrunk the size of the picture. This did what I can't seem to figure out on all the other graphics packages I own.
Matt, I used Paint just today to figure out the size of my image in pixels! Great tool.
Thank you for this tip. Paint has been my go to for photo editing for years, but I learned something new today.
FYI. Microsoft Paint will only be available via the Windows store in the future. They're nixing it as part of the default Windows package. _URL_
Christina, that means it doesn't come pre-downloaded anymore, right? My understanding is that it won't magically appear on our computers right when we buy them from the store, but that we can visit the Windows store for a free download. Side note: Do you remember the pinball game? And solitaire??
I believe so. It won't be a part of the set package people get with newer versions of Windows. Kind of a tragedy since I use Microsoft Paint for a variety of tasks. :/ Pinball game forever!
[…] Learn how to read your organization's style guide, locate your color codes with an eyedropper, or locate your color codes with Microsoft Paint. Then, enter your color codes in Excel or in […]
THANX! I was trying to find what would be truly 'bronze', and could not make up my mind from just looking at how the colors came out. Using a bronze statue from a Paint picture helped out fantastically, and gave me a range of ways to establish it.
(For my homemade 32nd anniversary card! 😉)
This was great! Thanks

Using the Password Reset Feature
External Validation Script Specification
Overview
The Password Reset Module includes functionality to support scripts that are defined by system administrators to provide an additional layer of security. The contents of the JSON body received by the API service are passed to STDIN, and the results are read by the service on STDOUT. In this way, the validation script is able to take user-specific information and compare it with results from another data source. This ensures that the API service is being used from a trusted source that has accurately identified the user to receive a new password.
Example
The following is a PowerShell script that verifies a ServiceNow user during password reset. The user is validated in the scenario and their phone number and employee number are passed to the external validation tool through the JSON body of the request. If the values match the external check to ServiceNow, the script returns success. Specifically, it passes a JSON valid string where the field name and result name match the specified values from the configuration tool. In this example, those are "result" and "ok" respectively (i.e., anything other than this is considered "failed").
$user = "sn_user"
$pass = "sn_password"

$table = "sys_user"

$instance = "_URL_"

$input_obj = $input | ConvertTo-Json

$username = $input_obj.request.user

$emp_num = $input_obj.emp_num

$phone = $input_obj.phone

$base64AuthInfo = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(("{0}:{1}" -f $user, $pass)))

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"

$headers.Add('Authorization',('Basic {0}' -f $base64AuthInfo))

$headers.Add('Accept','application/json')

$uri = $instance + "/api/now/table/" + $table + "?sysparm_query=user_name=" + $username

Sculptural form finding with bending action
Paper in proceedings, 2017
This paper demonstrates a method development for integration of bending action into the form finding process. The aim has been to facilitate the designer with means to compromise between structural efficiency and sculptural freedom for grid shell type of structures.
The analysis is carried out using Dynamic Relaxation (DR) and to achieve bending capability, the base element implementation is a 12 degrees of freedom beam where the DR is solving for both translations and rotations. For purpose of validation, stress based utilization is calculated based on Eurocode 3 equations which are simplified to allow for separation of axial and bending utilization. A stress based sizer is also implemented to enable comparison based on tonnage.
The methods presented are derived from the principles behind stiffness control and force-density control form finding, commonly applied for compression and tension structures respectively. The common denominator being that they are all driven by a form finding load case, where the user can specify various combinations of axialand bending utilization limits for the elements, to which the form adapts as it tries to find equilibrium of internal and external forces and moments.
None of the methods was found to satisfy all requirements for a useful general purpose shell design tool. The main issue was found to be wrinkling of the initial geometry when the need for drastic change in element length, required for a structurally unsound free form surface changing shape in the form finding process, is being opposed by the relatively high axial stiffness of a beam. This is not usually an issue when form finding with elastic springs that undergo large deformations in the process.
Conclusively there might be merit for a form finding element that allows for large axial deformation to avoid the wrinkling problem but has the bending properties of a beam. From a workflow point of view, the implementation of elements with bending capability was demonstrated to be useful for form exploration, particularly when combined with automatic sizing. The separation of bending and axial utilization was also found useful from a form evaluation point of view.

Lagos State government has urged communities on the fringe of the Ogun River to relocate immediately, warning that there could be heavy flooding following heavy rainfall and the opening of the Oyan dam by the Ogun-Osun River Basin Authority.
The State's Ministry of Environment in a statement signed by the Commissioner, Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, listed the areas likely to be affected to include Alagbole, Meiran, Maidan, Kara, Isheri-Olowora, Agiliti, Owode-Onirin, Owode-Elede, Agboyi I, Agboyi II, Ajegunle, Itowolo, Majidun, Ibeshe, Baiyeku, Maidan, Lekki-Ajah and the Lagos Lagoon boundaries.
Wahab, said following the incidence of flooding already being experienced in the neighbourhood of Ajegunle, Kara, the flooding was likely to become worse.
The Commissioner said an alert issued by the Ogun Osun River Basin Authority on the operation of Ouan Dam had advised all residents of the Ogun River bank to relocate immediately.
The alert showed rainfall and average water released monthly for years 2021, 2022 and 2023 till mid October, warning of possible inundation by flooding which was already happening.
Wahab, said comparatively with year 2021, total rainfall was 969mm while for 2022, it was 1,140mm, saying when compared with the first 10 months of this year, rainfall amounted to 1,410.1mm which was a significant rise.
In addition, for the amount of water spilled by the River Basin Authority for the whole of 2021, it amounted to 1,140mcm, while for 2022, the amount of water spilled was slightly higher at 1,475.6mcm while for the 10 months of this year, a very significant 2,274 has been released with 532.2mcm and 348.7mcm released in September and October respectfully.
According to the statistical table released by the River Basin Authority, the amount of rainfall recorded from January to October 2023 (1,410.0mm) indicated that most of the rainfall in the area had fallen.
Likewise, the volume of water released from January to October 15, 2023, was more than the average synthesised Annual Flow volume of 1770Mcm against a Gross Storage of 27+90Mcm.
He stated that the utmost concern of the state government was safety of lives and properties of residents, which he said explained the urgent call for relocation by those affected, adding that safety of lives and properties was paramount.
Wahab added that the alert became necessary because there was much water to be expected in October 2023, in addition to the heavy downpours usually associated with the months of September and December every year along Ogun River Basin and other related predictions and warning from Nigeria Metrological Services (NIMET), Nigeria Hydrological Services (NIHSA), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA)and other related Agencies.

Ancient Skeleton Discovered in Sri Lankan Cave
A complete human skeleton has been excavated from a cave in western Sri Lanka.
Discovered in the Fa Hien Cave in the district of Kalutara, Western Province, Sri Lanka, the skeleton, thought to be a Homo sapien, could be the oldest found in South Asia so far.
Items found in the same layer as the skeleton have been dated back 37,000 years, suggesting that the skeleton is likely around the same age. To find out for sure, officials plan to get it carbon-dated.
Stone tools were found with the skeleton, as well as ornaments made of beads and weapons made of animal bone. These discoveries are helping to build a picture of the eating habits and rituals of these ancient people.
Although human remains were found at the cave in the 1960′s and 1980′s, this find, made a few days ago, represents the first complete pre-historic human skeleton discovered in Sri Lanka.

Is it possible to set the inertia tensor used for a rigid body control?
I have understood thus far that it is possible to set the mass and principal moments of inertia for a rigid body through function calls to jbullet itself through the following functions:
final javax.vecmath.Vector3f principalInertia = new javax.vecmath.Vector3f(inertia.toArray(null)); rbc.getObjectId().setMassProps(mass_kg, principalInertia);
or to set the principal inertias more directly:
final javax.vecmath.Vector3f principalInertia = new javax.vecmath.Vector3f(inertia.toArray(null)); setInvInertiaDiagLocal(Vector3f diagInvInertia);
However, I have not been able to find any way to set the off diagonal terms of the inertia tensor, namely through specifying the principal axes. At the very least, I expected it to be pretty straightforward something as basic as the entire inertia matrix for an rbc to exist, but i have not been able to find anything. At first i considered that jbullet might limit itself to have all rigid bodies require principal axes that align with the reference frame unit vectors( which would be severely limiting, but i considered it nonetheless) but I could clearly see that it was possible to get the inertia tensor as a whole(but not set it?) that the off diagonal terms were not zero. Namely this was observed with the function:
javax.vecmath.Matrix3f inertiaTensor = new javax.vecmath.Matrix3f(); rbc.getObjectId().getInvInertiaTensorWorld(inertiaTensor);
Since the off diagonal terms were clearly non-zero, then the principal axes are clearly not aligned with the rbc reference frame. So the question remains, how can either the principal axes or the entire inertia tensor as a whole be set?

The duration over which the animationImages sequence will play. This is measured in seconds and defaults to the number of animation frames divided by 30 (i.e. 30 frames-per-second). This value is automatically set whenever the animationImages array is updated, so remember to set this after you set the animationImages property.
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger animationRepeatCount;
The number of times the animation will repeat. Defaults to zero, which causes the animation to repeat indefinitely until the stopAnimating method is called.
@property (nonatomic, assign) CATransform3D imageTransform;
A 3D transform to apply to the image. This can be used to center, scale or rotate the image. This can be useful for implementing pinch to zoom/rotate functionality. It is more efficient to transform the image using this property than to transform the entire view using the view.transform or view.layer.transform properties.
GLImageView methods
- (GLImageView *)initWithImage:(GLImage *)image;
This method creates a GLImageView containing the specified image and sets the view frame to match the image size.
- (void)startAnimating;
Inherited from GLView, this method starts the animationImages sequence. Playback always starts from the first frame. Calling play when the animation is already playing will start it again from the beginning.
- (void)stopAnimating;
This method stops the animation sequence. Once stopped, the sequence can not be resumed, only started again from the beginning.
- (BOOL)isAnimating;
This method returns YES if the animationImages sequence is currently playing.
GLModel methods
+ (GLModel *)modelNamed:(NSString *)nameOrPath;
This method loads the model file specified by the nameOrPath paramater and returns a GLModel. The model is cached so that any subsequent modelNamed calls for the same file will return the exact same copy of the model. In a low memory situation, this cache will be cleared.
The name can include a file extension. If it doesn't, .obj is assumed. The name may also include a full or partial file path. Like the GLImage imageNamed: function, modelNamed: can load models outside of the application bundle, such as from the application documents folder. However, because these models are cached, it is unwise to load models in this way if they are likely to be replaced or deleted while the app is running, as this may result in unexpected behaviour.
+ (GLModel *)modelWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)path;
- (GLModel *)initWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)path;
These methods load a GLModel from a file. The path parameter can be a full or partial path. For partial paths it is assumed that the path is relative to the application resource folder. The format is inferred from the file extension; Currently only .obj (Wavefront) and .model (Apple's GLEssentials sample code model format) files are accepted. Models loaded in this way are not cached or de-duplicated in any way. Note that is is also possible to use the @2x and ~ipad filename suffixes to specify different models for different devices, which is useful if you wish to provide more detailed models for higher-end devices.
- (GLModel *)initWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)path;
- (GLModel *)initWithData:(NSData *)data;
These methods initialise a model with data. The format of the data should match the contents of one of the supported file formats.
- (void)draw;
Renders the model in the current GLView. In practice you may wish to configure the OpenGL state for the model before calling draw, e.g. by setting a texture image to use for the rendering. See the GLModelView layoutSubviews method for an example.
GLModelView properties
@property (nonatomic, strong) GLModel *model;
The model that will be rendered by the view.
@property (nonatomic, strong) GLImage *texture;
A GLImage that will be used to texture the model. The model must have texture coordinates defined in order for the texture to be applied correctly.
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor *blendColor;
A color to blend with the model texture. This can be used to tint the model or modify its opacity. If no texture image is specified, the model will be flat-shaded in this color.
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSArray *lights;
An array of GLLight objects used to illuminate the model. By default this array contains a single white light positioned above and to the left of the object. You can set up to eight lights, although increasing the number of lights has a negative impact on performance. Setting an empty array is equivalent to having a single ambient white light.
@property (nonatomic, assign) CATransform3D modelTransform;
A 3D transform to apply to the model. This can be used to center, scale or rotate the model to fit the view frame. See the example project for how this can be used.
GLLight properties
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor *ambientColor;
The ambient light color. This color is used to illuminate the object uniformly. Defaults to black (off).
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor *diffuseColor;
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor *specularColor;
The diffuse and specular light colors. These illuminate the object in a directional fashion, eminating from the position specified by the transform. These default to white (full brightness).
@property (nonatomic, assign) CATransform3D transform;
The transform property controls the position of the light. Currently only the position/translation part of the transform is used. Rotation and scale properties are ignored. Use CATransform3DMakeTranslation(x, y, z) to set a suitable value. The default translation is (0, 0, 1), which is typically behind the camera, or between the camera and the scene being viewed.
GLLight methods
- (void)bind:(GLuint)light;
This method binds the GLLight to a particular light in the scene. The light parameter is an OpenGL constant representing the light index, where GL_LIGHT0 is the first available light, and GL_LIGHT7 is typically the last available light.
Image file suffixes
iOS has a clever mechanism for managing multiple versions of assets by using file suffixes. The first iPad introduced the ~ipad suffix for specifying ipad-specific versions of files (e.g. foo~ipad.png). The iPhone 4 introduced the @2x suffix for managing double-resolution images for Retina displays (e.g. _EMAIL_). With the 3rd generation iPad you can combine these to have Retina-quality iPad images (e.g. foo@2x~ipad.png).
GLImage supports the @2x and ~ipad suffixes automatically, so if you attempt to load an image called foo.png, GLImage will automatically look for _EMAIL_ on a Retina iPhone and foo~ipad.png on an iPad, etc. These suffixes also work when loading ImageMap plists and 3D model files, so you can provider higher-res versions for Retina displays.
This is an elegant solution for apps, but is sometimes insufficient for games because, unlike apps, hybrid games often share near-identical interfaces on iPhone and iPad, with the assets and interface elements simply scaled up, and this means that the standard definition iPad and Retina resolution iPhone need to use the same images.
Naming your images with the @2x suffix works for iPhone but not iPad, and naming them with the ~ipad suffix works for iPad but not iPhone, which forces you to either duplicate identical assets with different filenames, or to write your own file loading logic.
The -hd suffix is a concept introduced by the Cocos2D library to solve the problem of wanting to use the same @2x graphics for both the iPhone Retina display and the iPad standard definition display by using the same -hd filename suffix for both.
The GLView library has no built-in support for the -hd suffix, however if you include the StandardPaths library (_URL_ in your project, GLView will use this library to automatically add support for the -hd suffix to GLImage, GLImageMap and GLModel, as well as other suffixes supported by the StandardPaths library, such as -568h for iPhone 5-specific assets.
PVR images
The PVR image format is a special proprietary image format used by the PowerVR graphics chip in iOS devices. PVR images load quicker and can take up less space in memory than PNGs, so they can be very useful for apps that need to load and display a lot of images.
Due to the rapid loading, they can also be streamed off disk

Researcher earns grant to study genetics of aging
A research scientist at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield has been awarded a five-year federal grant from the National Institutes Aging, a division of the National Institutes of Health to study a potential aging gene. The total budget for the grant is $687,555.
Dr. Rong Yuan, Ph.D., assistant professor of geriatric research in the Department of Internal Medicine, is the principal investigator for the project.
The study will use mice to test a potential aging gene, nuclear receptor interacting protein 1 (Nrip1), and to verify that depressing it can significantly reduce fat tissue, increase insulin sensitivity and enhance resistance to high-fat-diet-induced obesity and diabetes. The results of this research will help scientists understand how genetic metabolic diseases are related to aging.
This is the second NIA grant awarded for Yuan's research, which is focused on aging and longevity.
Yuan joined SIU's faculty in 2012. He received his medical degree and doctorate from Shanghai Second Medical University in China (2000), a master's of surgery (1997) and bachelor's in medicine (1993), from Chinese Southeast University in Nanjing, China.

Minus tides this weekend are among the lowest this summer, offering a chance to see the clams, anemones and sea stars that inhabit parts of the shoreline that beachcombers get to see only occasionally.
Tides of minus two feet or more occur in Bellingham Bay and surrounding Salish Sea waters about midday for several days starting Thursday, June12, when the ebb is -2.2 feet at 11:09 a.m. There's an ebb of -2.9 feet at 12:36 p.m. on Saturday, June 14.
Budding young naturalists are encouraged to explore the beaches at low tide, but should be careful about disturbing the fragile ecosystem. Instead of lifting a rock, for example, gently tip it over to see what's underneath.
Good places to explore are the shoreline at Semiahmoo Spit near Blaine, Birch Bay State Park, and Point Whitehorn. Larrabee State Park boasts a rocky shoreline with traditional tide pools, and Marine Park offers a fascinating collection of intertidal life.
To find the times and heights of tides locally, go to protides.com and select a location.

Cultural in Chamonix
Chamonix isn't just about being extreme on the slopes, there is a whole world of history, art and culture to discover too. Even if you're not a culture vulture, there are exhibitions, museums and artisans which will have you enthralled.
Chamonix has a mountaineering heritage and sense of adventure which has been at the root of the resort for hundreds of years. The mythical setting at the foot of Mont Blanc inspires artists and craftsmen, many of whom hold exhibitions or open up their workshops to visitors and the museums tell the often surprising history of the town.


[ki-ga uku]
Literal translation: Wood floats.
Meaning: wood is such a material, if to put it in water, it will stay on the top, it will not sink.
Let's add ～やすい / ～にくい pattern (as auxiliary adjective, not i-adjective).
[ki-wa uki-yasui]
Literal translation: Wood floats well.
Meaning: wood is a good floating material, that it is a good itea to make something floating from that, for example, a boat.
Question: why -yasui/-nikui makes us use は instead of が?
Is it legal to say [木が浮きやす] or with ga-version of -yasui/-nikui we make some shift in meaning?
Good question! This question is an actually an entire topic. For example, see this article.
So we have four patterns here:
(1) 木が浮く
(2) 木は浮く
(3) 木が浮きやすい
(4) 木は浮きやすい
The short answer is that they are all correct grammatically. However, they have slightly different nuances.
"は" is called the topic particle for good reason; it marks what the speaker's statement is about. Without any context, (1) could be a statement about the environment from a book. The statement describes what simply happens. On the other hand, (2) is a statement about the tree itself. An example usage is, 石は浮かないが木は浮く (Stones don't float, but trees float). Here, we compare stones and trees. The statement isn't about what happens generally; it specifically compares stones and trees, the topics.
Now, alone, (3) seems slightly strange alone. Note that as "浮きやすい" is an adjective, the whole sentence seems to describe the tree, which wouldn't make sense if tree weren't the topic. On the other hand, it could be used as in "なぜ、海水では人が浮きやすいのでしょうか". Here, the topic is seawater; not people.
(4) alone is a natural statement about trees themselves. It describes trees, saying trees float easily.
I hope this helps a little bit!

Two modified Fried wavefront reconstructors are proposed, both based on an enhanced geometry that combines and balances those of Fried and Hudgin with an additional weight. The optimal weights for both of them are derived with the analytical frequency response functions, which can provide near-unity spatial frequency response over broad bandwidth to the Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensing system. Comparisons between the proposed reconstructors and the classical ones are presented in the frequency domain, and simulations have further confirmed the frequency characteristic and the reconstruction performance of the new reconstructors. It is expected that the optimized reconstructors can help improve the performance of adaptive optics systems for high-power laser wavefront control and other relevant optical systems that require high-accuracy wavefront sensing.

The paper examines the evidence for slavery in the late antique and early medieval penitentials. This body of sources has only recently been rediscovered for the study of slavery. Most of the earliest extant penitentials contain canons that deal in one way or another with slaves (servus or ancilla) or slavery (servitium). These canons can roughly be grouped into three categories according to the aspect under which slavery is considered in them: In the first category of canons, slaves are merely mentioned in the description of a sin in which they are either involved in or the victim of. The second category of canons considers slavery as a penitential punishment. The third category, finally, offers more general rules or laws on slavery. Samples for these three categories and their analysis form the main part of the paper. The presented evidence is then evaluated with regard to the questions what kind of insights the penitentials offer for the study of slavery in general, and the involvement of the Church in slavery in particular.
In response to critiques of the 'slavery versus freedom' binary and its limitations, researchers at the international Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies (BCDSS—

How to 10x your BigQuery Productivity with Variables
In this article, you're going to learn how to create and use variables to 10x your productivity in BigQuery.

How much time do you spend repeatedly making small changes to your SQL?

Whether you're updating a column's value or changing a date in your partition, this can get annoying very fastEven more so when these values appear in multiple places in your code.

This is where variables save the day (and your precious time). Variables can help you make quick updates without touching your SQL.

The best part? It's possible to set up variables without writing a single line of SQL.

But first…
What are variables?
Sometimes referred to as parameters, variables are placeholders in SQL for values that can change. Variables store the value you assign them, and pass them on when used in a query.
They're extremely helpful when you want to update literal values in your queries.
Typically, DECLARE and SET statements are used to create variables and assign them values, with the syntax looking like:
DECLARE @Local_Variable
SET<@Local_Variable =
Google allows you to run something similar to variables in BigQuery, called parameterized queries, but it only works via their API and not when using the Web UI.
However, you still have to use the DECLARE and SET clauses, which can get tedious if you're creating lots of variables or repeatedly changing values.
Next, we're going to show you:
 1. How to quickly set up variables in superQuery without using any SQL.
 2. How to save TONS of time by using variables in your queries.
How to create and use variables in superQuery
In our example below, we'll look at how to analyze an e-commerce store's data using variables.
Step 1: Open the superQuery IDE — Make sure you have a superQuery account (it's free to start)
Step 2: Click the "Add Variable" button to open the Variable Settings pop-up.
Step 3: Select your variable's data type.
In superQuery, variables can hold the following data types: STRING, NUMBER, DATE, DATETIME.
Step 4: Give your variable a good name and click "Save".
In the example below, since we're analyzing e-commerce store data, let's create a variable for product category.
For this, we'll create a String variable, naming it "category" and giving it an initial value of "Bags".
This replaces the variable-creation process of writing DECLARE and SET clauses.
Second Step of Adding Variables in superQuery. Select data type, give your variable a name and initial value.
Easily select your variable's data type, give it a name, and assign it an initial value.
Step 5: Use your variable in a query.
Use variables in your SQL by placing an "@" character in front of the variable's name, like in the example below.
To edit your variable's value, change it in the text box next to your variable's name. Then run the query again to explore the new results.
Quick notes on variables in superQuery:
 - You can use multiple variables in a query.
 - In addition, you may also use the same variable across several query tabs.
 - Lastly, variables are stored inside of boards. If you switch to work in another board, it will have a different set of variables (or none at all if you haven't created any).
How to Edit Variable Values and use them in queries in superQuery
How to edit variable values and insert them into queries.
[Bonus] Step 6: How to use variables as DATE and DATETIME substitutes
Variables are incredibly helpful when you're working with dates. In our example above, we were dealing with a specific date range — "BETWEEN '2017-01-01 AND '2017-12-27'".
In this situation we would create two DATE variables — we'll call them begDate and endDate — to replace the values. This allows us to dynamically change the date values and quickly examine different date ranges.
Lastly, you have the ability to set dynamic values for your date variables. For instance, if you wanted our endDate variable from above to always represent the current day, you would just select Today as the option.
To give your variable a dynamic value click on a date variable's value. A calendar dropdown will appear. From there, either choose a date on the calendar itself, or one of the dynamic values below it.
How to set dynamic values for your DATE variables in superQuery
Set dynamic values for your DATE variables in superQuery
Why use variables?
Without variables, if you wanted to update your SQL — like changing the value of "category above — you had to manually find the value in your code and then change the value. Or, if you had multiple occurrences that needed to change, you'd use CTRL-F + Replace All.
Imagine having to find the specific value you'd like to change when the SQL is 100+ lines.
Now, you can insert a variable in place of any value and update its value without needing to revisit a specific line in your SQL again.
Using variables with visualizations
Variables are also useful when you're visualizing your queries in superQuery.
When you update your variable(s) values while in Visualize mode and click the "Refresh" icon, any widgets containing a variable
This is the same as running a new query, and your visualizations will update accordingly.
Wrapping up
Now that you know how to create and use variables, it's time to try them out on your own BigQuery data.
They'll give your SQL some flexibility, and save you tons of time when making small changes.
To use variables in your query editor, create a superQuery account — it's as simple as logging with your Google account directly from our website.

text: A numerical simulation code was developed for estimating the surface temperature of POM wear test with different shapes. By using the developed code, the effect of sliding geometry with various contact areas on the surface temperature was numerically investigated. The simulation results show that the limiting sliding velocity depends on contact area and reaches a peak value at a certain geometry. It was also found that the simulation code leads an exact prediction of limiting velocity in the range of small contact area. This is important since the exact temperature measurement is very difficult in this range.

Is vancomycin used for MRSA?
Vancomycin or daptomycin are the agents of choice for treatment of invasive MRSA infections [1]. Alternative agents that may be used for second-line or salvage therapy include telavancin, ceftaroline, and linezolid. Recent studies of treatment of MRSA bacteremia are reviewed.
How often can I take q4h of vancomycin?
Hourly based regimens ( q4h, q6h, q8h, etc) are given strictly in those intervals around-the-clock. This is more useful for medications which require therapeutic level considerations or those which should not be given too frequently. As an example, 1 gram IV vancomycin q12h.
Is it safe to give vancomycin to pregnant women?
¶Should not be used in pregnant women or children under the age of 8 years. ¥ Ciprofloxacin 500mg PO q12h is an alternative for outpatients Alternatives to vancomycin include linezolid 600 mg PO/IV q12h OR daptomycin 4 mg/kg IV q24h. Back to first page
What can I take in place of vancomycin?
Alternatives to vancomycin include linezolid 600 mg PO/IV q12h OR daptomycin 4 mg/kg IV q24h.
What's the difference between q6h and qid?
Differences Between QID and Q6H One distinction in medication instructions is when a medication is prescribed at a specific time interval, or instead, is written as a number of doses to be taken daily. An example would be a prescription that is prescribed QID (take the medication four times a day) and Q6H (take the medication every six hours).

As an employee or an employer, it is crucial to understand the concept of after-acquired evidence and how it can impact employment law cases. After-acquired evidence refers to information an employer discovers about an employee's misconduct or wrongdoing after terminating their employment. This evidence, if proven valid, can potentially serve as a defense strategy in employment law cases.
The Legal Framework
Under certain circumstances, after-acquired evidence may limit or completely eliminate an employee's ability to recover damages in an employment lawsuit. The legal framework surrounding after-acquired evidence is complex and varies depending on jurisdiction, so it's crucial to consult with an experienced employment law attorney like the Blair Patricia Law Firm to understand the specific laws in your area.
When is After-Acquired Evidence Relevant?
After-acquired evidence becomes relevant in employment law cases when an employer discovers evidence that, had they known about it, would have provided a legitimate reason for terminating the employee. This evidence can include, but is not limited to:
- Employee theft or embezzlement
- Forgery or fraud
- Violation of company policies
- Substance abuse or intoxication
- Violent or threatening behavior
Employers must be able to demonstrate that the after-acquired evidence is valid, reliable, and would have resulted in termination had it been known prior to the employee's termination.
Proving the Validity of After-Acquired Evidence
When using after-acquired evidence as a defense, employers need to demonstrate the following:
- The after-acquired evidence was discovered through legitimate channels and not through any form of discrimination or unlawful activity.
- The employer would have terminated the employee had they known about the evidence before the termination.
- The after-acquired evidence is substantial and directly related to the employee's actions or conduct that led to the termination.
- The employee's misconduct or wrongdoing had a direct impact on their ability to perform their job duties effectively.
Consulting with an employment law attorney is crucial in evaluating the validity and relevance of after-acquired evidence, as each case is unique and requires a comprehensive understanding of employment law regulations.
Limitations of After-Acquired Evidence
While after-acquired evidence can be a valuable defense strategy for employers, it is important to note its limitations:
- The after-acquired evidence must be directly related to the employee's actions or conduct that led to termination.
- If the employee can prove that the employer's decision to terminate was mainly based on discriminatory factors, after-acquired evidence may be deemed irrelevant.
- If the employee can demonstrate that the employer had a pattern of overlooking similar misconduct by other employees, after-acquired evidence may be challenged as a defense.
- The impact of after-acquired evidence on an employment law case often depends on the specific details and circumstances surrounding the case.
Seek Professional Legal Counsel
Employment law cases involving after-acquired evidence can be complex and require a strategic approach. The Blair Patricia Law Firm specializes in employment and labor law matters and can provide expert legal counsel tailored to your unique case.
With our extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of employment law, we can help navigate the complexities of after-acquired evidence and ensure your best interests are represented. Contact the Blair Patricia Law Firm today to schedule a consultation.

Environmental Aspects Review : A Case Study of Two Sawmills in Etsako-West, Edo State Nigeria
The forests are essential for healthy environment. Trees which are part of theforest help to stabilize the forest soil, improve soil fertility, reduce the velocity ofwind, protect watershed and reduce the amount of carbon released into theatmosphere. Many industries use trees as raw materials and in most cases impactthe environment, but there are great differences in the impact they make. There isa need therefore to continually evaluate the operational activities of theseindustries to ensure that the environment is protected. The use of environmentalmanagement systems like ISO and EMAS standards has helped in the evaluationof organizations and industries.In this thesis, two sawmills Iretunde and Irepodun in Etsako-West localgovernment area Edo state Nigeria were evaluated with the aim to determine theiroperational activities and how the environment is being affected by them. Subaimswere to determine the most significant environmental aspects of the sawmilland their organizational structure. In actualizing the aim of this thesis, literaturereview, site investigation as well as oral interview of the staff and management ofboth sawmills were conducted. In the evaluation of the environmental aspects, thedetailed method of environmental impact evaluation by Ammenberg (2004) wasused were each environmental aspect that was weighted against nine identifiedcriteria.The result obtained from the environmental aspect evaluation of both sawmillsshows that the use of raw materials and emissions to air are the most significantenvironmental aspects. In conclusion, it was observed that the both sawmills arewell structured and carry out their operational activities effectively. Neither ofthem has registered under any environmental management system but there is aneed for them to do so in order to help check their operational activities in order toreduce their environmental impact.

Renaming Users
For LDAP databases, the rename feature changes only the user's name, all other fields are left intact. In addition, the user's old name is still preserved so searches against the old name will still find the new entry.
When you rename a user entry, you can only change the user's name. You cannot use the rename feature to move the entry from one organizational unit to another. For example, suppose you have organizational units for Marketing and Accounting and an entry named "Billie Holiday" under the Marketing organizational unit. You can rename the entry from Billie Holiday to Doc Holiday, but you cannot rename the entry such that Billie Holiday under the Marketing organizational unit becomes Billie Holiday under the Accounting organizational unit.
ProcedureTo rename a user entry
 If you are using common name-based DNs, specify the user's full name. If you are using uid-based distinguished names, enter the new uid value that you want to use for the entry.
 3. Click Rename User.
 4. Change the Given Name, Surname, Full Name, or UID fields appropriately to match the new distinguished name for the entry.
 5. You can specify that the Administration Server no longer retains the old full name or uid values when you rename the entry by setting the keepOldValueWhenRenaming parameter to false. You can find this parameter in the following file:

County's January precipitation is above average
San Juan County is below average for snowfall and above average for precipitation this month, according to weather data
- Farmington has measured 0.73 inches of liquid precipitation this month, compared to its average of 0.61 inches.
- The weather station at the Farmington Agriculture Science Center has measured 0.6 inches of snowfall so far, below its average of 2.4 inches.
- The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory that will be in effect for portions of northern and western New Mexico until Tuesday morning.
- Meteorologists say this will likely be the last storm San Juan County sees this month.
FARMINGTON — The amount of precipitation San Juan County has received this month is above average compared to previous years, but, so far, the county is below average for snowfall.
Randall Hergerst, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said Farmington measured 0.73 inches of liquid precipitation — including snowmelt — this month. On average, he said, Farmington receives 0.61 inches in January.
Hergerst said that while the amount of precipitation is higher than normal, it's not unusual.
"I wouldn't consider it a record wet year by any means," he said.
The weather station at the Farmington Agriculture Science Center measured 0.6 inches of snowfall so far this month, well below its average of 2.4 inches, Hergerst said. Aztec Ruins National Monument also recorded less snow than average. The national monument averages 5.1 inches of snow in January, but, so far, it was only received 2.6 inches this month.
Sunday night's storm brought about 0.004 inches of snow to the area, and a previous storm on Jan. 21 brought 0.0021 inches, Hergerst said.
Despite less-than-average snow accumulation in the valleys, snowpack in the mountains is above average, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The bureau's Upper Colorado Region snowpack conditions map shows above average snowpack in the San Juan River basin.
While today was relatively sunny, clouds began to move into San Juan County in the afternoon. The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory at 4:54 a.m. today that will be in effect for portions of northern and western New Mexico until 5 a.m. Tuesday. According to the forecast, parts of northwest New Mexico could see up to an inch of snow.
The advisory warns that roads, including U.S. Highway 550, may be icy and have limited visibility. Road conditions can be checked online at nmroads.com.
Hergerst said this will likely be the last storm San Juan County sees this month. He said the long-range forecast shows the storm systems moving north and affecting the Great Lakes region, rather than the Southwest.

Fragrant Trees
The Fragrant Trees were those species of trees which grew in Nísimaldar, a western region in the Island of Númenor. The name derived from the sweet scent which came from their leaves, their flowers and even their bark. They were brought from Eressëa by the Elves who navigated towards Númenor. Later, they were planted in other regions of the island, though they did not grow in such high numbers.[1]
The Fragrant Trees were : Oiolairë, Lairelossë, Nessamelda, Vardarianna, Taniquelassë, Yavannamírë and Malinornë.

24 August 2012 | News story
The Government of the Republic of Vanuatu has officially announced its decision to join IUCN by endorsing the IUCN Statutes. The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has been designated by the Government of the Republic of Vanuatu as its liaison with the IUCN Secretariat.
IUCN extends its warmest welcome to Vanuatu, an archipelago of over 80 islands in the South Pacific Ocean located east of Australia and west of Fiji. Vanuatu is mountainous with a few active volcanoes on some islands. It is part of the biodiversity hotspot of east Melanesia, harboring notable endemic species and diverse marine and coastal life. Many communities rely heavily on native species for their livelihoods, and as such, the economic, social and cultural value of species is very high.
Natural resources are invaluable to the people of Vanuatu; agriculture and eco-tourism are the main sources of revenue. A country rich in culture; Vanuatu is considered one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, with more than 100 distinct languages and dialects.
The Government of Vanuatu is party to key environmental conventions, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and others.
"Vanuatu is a critical link in ensuring the Melanesian countries are on board – especially with their unique biodiversity and cultural contribution to the global community," says Taholo Kami, Regional Director, IUCN Oceania.
IUCN Oceania has been working with the Vanuatu government under its Energy programme, looking at alternative renewable energy resources, and through the Water and Wetlands programme, whereby Vanuatu is a receiving country under the Mangrove Ecosystems for Climate Change Adaptation and Livelihoods project, which aims to safeguard and manage mangrove ecosystems in five Pacific countries. IUCN Oceania looks forward to continued collaboration in these and other programme areas.

Influence of magnetic impurities on the heat capacity of nuclear spins
- 26 Downloads
It is found that over a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields even a small concentration of magnetic impurities in a sample leads to a T−1 temperature dependence of the nuclear heat capacity. This effect is due to nuclear spin polarization by the magnetic impurities. The parameter that controls the theory turns out not to be the impurity concentration nimp but instead the quantity nimpμ e /μ n , where μ e and μ n are the magnetic moments of an electron and a nucleus, respectively. The ratio of μ e and μ n is of order of 103.

Definition of Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA):
Aminomethylphosphonic acid is mainly produced by environmental biodegradation reactions of the herbicide glyphosate[1].
This is the common definition for Aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), other definitions can be discussed in the article
Notes
Category:Stub
AMPA
AMPA
Formula
CH6NO3P
Currently very little is known about AMPA. It is formed by biodegradation of the herbicide glyohosate. Compared to glyohosate; present at lower concentrations in the environment, although it's more stable, it adsorbs more strongly to soils and might have a higher tendency towards bioaccumulation. Glysphosate itself however is not expected to bioaccumulate much because of its higher water solubility[2].
Measured concentrations of AMPA in surface waters range between 6 and 35 µg/l [3].

Are Parrots or Crows Smarter?
(Last Updated On: June 10, 2023)
Although different genetically, the intelligence of parrots and crows is often compared and contrasted.
Parrots and crows can recognize and differentiate human faces and solve problems. Crows, in particular, can use 'tools' to overcome obstacles. Unlike parrots, crows can't mimic human speech.
A study in PLoS One encouraged a crow and a parrot to solve the same problem. Both birds achieved their aim using different techniques based on their unique evolutionary advantages.
This suggests that parrots and crows are equally smart, but they use their intelligence differently. In some respects, comparing the IQ of these species is akin to asking if a chimpanzee or dolphin is smarter.
Are Parrots and Crows Related?
While parrots and crows are both avian species, they have little in common.
In evolutionary terms, they're entirely different species. Parrots belong to the taxonomic order Psittaciformes, while crows belong to the Passeriformes order.
Passeriformes is the most dominant order of avian wildlife globally, referring to true perching birds with 4 toes (3 facing forward and 1 toe facing backward).
Within this order are the songbird family of Corvidae, or corvids, which includes crows.
The differences between parrots and crows include the following:
Despite these significant differences, parrots and crows have impressive intelligence levels.
How Smart Is A Parrot?
Some species of parrots, like African greys, are considered as smart as an average 3-year-old child, with comparable speech and problem-solving skills.
Every parrot is different, so some will be smarter than others based on species, life experience, human-parrot interaction, training sessions, and personality.
Parrots that start learning to speak and solve problems while young display more advanced skills.
what makes parrots so intelligent?
What Makes Parrots So Intelligent?
PNAS explains how parrots have a brain the size of a walnut due to their comparatively small heads. However, the forebrain of a parrot contains as many neurons as a primate.
It's not just science that lends parrots their reputation as clever birds. Many studies have demonstrated that parrots have advanced problem-solving skills and exceptional long-term memories.
Parrots can study and memorize behavioral patterns and bond with humans and conspecifics.
This enables parrots to communicate clearly with each other and humans.
What Is The Smartest Species of Parrot?
African greys are considered the smartest parrot due to their advanced vocabulary and problem-solving abilities. Other parrots that are celebrated for their smartness include:
 - Amazon Parrots speak so clearly that some struggle to distinguish their speech from a human's.
 - Budgerigars are among the most trainable of all pet birds.
 - Cockatoos forge complex social bonds.
 - Ecletus parrots are playful and love to learn new games.
 - Macaws can learn and perform a range of tricks to amuse people.
A parrot owner will likely believe that parrots are smarter than crows, just as a cat owner would likely insist that felines are smarter than dogs. Intelligence is difficult to measure and assess.
How Intelligent Is A Crow?
Crows are found worldwide and live exclusively in the wild. Scientists and regular people frequently admire the superior intelligence of crows.
Their intelligence revolves around problem-solving skills, especially when using 'tools.' Examples of crows' intelligence include:
 - As explained by Learning and Behavior, crows can locate sticks in the wild and use them to displace hiding insects when seeking food.
 - Placing food items on busy roads and waiting for automobile tires to crack them open.
 - Memorizing the faces of humans, as per Proceedings of the Royal Society, remembering which people are considered harmless or a threat to their welfare.
Like parrots, crows are believed to have intelligence and problem-solving cognition comparable to human children and possibly superior to an average first or second-grader.
Why Are Crows So Clever?
Crows have a larger brain relative to their size than most birds and a high number of neurons. Because crows have complex social dynamics and live in the wild, intelligence is essential to survival.
Crows spend lots of time alone but occasionally rely on each other for protection, sharing information about food, water, and environmental threats.
Perhaps the best explanation for a crow's intelligence is the structure of their brains.
The thought processes of a crow unfold in the nidopallium caudolaterale (NCL,) which has evolved to accommodate rapid and spontaneous problem-solving skills.
can crows talk like parrots?
Can Crows Talk Like Parrots?
Crow verbalizations vary significantly from parrots. Rather than squawks, the most common sound you'll hear from a crow is a caw, which can have various meanings:
 - A short, sharp, shrill caw warns of danger, intimidates predators, or requests help from conspecifics.
 - A louder, longer caw alerts other crows that a food source has been identified.
 - A series of short, level caws is a crow announcing its presence and waiting to see if others respond.
Crows seeking a mate will coo and sing softly, while juveniles and mated pairs make rattling sounds.
Crows are even believed to distinguish different languages. Crows can imitate these sounds similarly to parrots if exposed to human language.
Can Crows Talk Better Than Parrots?
Parrots are superior talkers, skilled at communicating directly with humans using an extensive range of words. There's no comparison regarding vocabulary when pitting a crow vs. an African grey.
However, it could be argued that crows have more complex vocalizations, making various sounds with many meanings.
When we consider inter-avian conversation, crows are arguably better communicators than parrots.
Are Crows the Smartest Birds in the World?
Intelligence is subjective, so while some people declare crows the smartest birds in the world, parrot owners will likely disagree based on interactions with their pets.
Crows demonstrate impressive problem-solving skills and can adapt to most situations.
Comparative Cognition and Behavior Reviews confirm that crows can identify different 'tools' required for any task and use them appropriately.
Parrots will be considered smarter than crows if you value the ability to talk to a bird. For many experts, corvids are the gold standard of avian intelligence.
Comparing the intellect of 2 different bird species isn't always fair. Consequently, it's difficult to say if parrots or crows are smarter. Regardless, psittacines and corvids are highly intelligent birds.


Why become a dormant company?
Although many businesses in the UK are constantly trading, some people choose to form or become a dormant company.
A dormant company is a business that has seen no significant economic activity during an accounting period, thus it stops trading; you can read more about dormant associations in our Transmit Start Ups guide. Here are some reasons why you might want to become a dormant company:
Future proofing
Preparation is key if you want your start-up or small business to succeed, thus if you have an idea for a trading company or are working toward starting a business you may want to open a dormant company. This way, whenever you are ready to begin trading you can jump right in, and begin growing your brand, but, in the meantime, you won't have to worry about filing detailed accounts for your dormant company. Furthermore, you may want to form a dormant company to pit your competitors at the post. Everyone knows the value of a good business idea and even a strong company name. So, why not prevent people from stealing your thunder and incorporate your stellar business today?
A trading break
Many businesses don't start their lives as dormant companies. Sometimes, an actively trading company may decide they want to take a break, and become dormant. Becoming a dormant company is helpful if you intend to continue trading in future. It simplifies the entire administration process, as you should submit abridged accounting forms to Companies House each year, which is less detailed, and so time-saving. Furthermore, it will also reduce the cost compared to if you remained a limited company, as dormant companies are not tax liable. Becoming dormant is also not as much hassle as dissolving your business – especially if there is a chance that you are likely to incorporate a similar business in future.
Some businesses may look to become dormant, for a period, if they hit any significant hurdles during their lifetime. For example, if the owner or director of the company falls ill or dies, a business may become temporarily dormant in order to assess the situation, and appoint new company officers. A company may also undergo a restructuring, and – as a result – no trading will be taking place, thus becoming dormant is a cheaper and more sensible solution. Furthermore, if a business is winding up then it may also choose to become dormant until its end to tie up any loose ends.
Holding assets
Finally, some people choose to register a dormant company so that they can hold a particular asset. For example, in the housing industry, one company – a dormant company – may hold several flats, while a larger, umbrella company handles the leasing. Thus, the holding company remains dormant, as it does not partake in any significant economic activity.

To locate self-assessment questionnaires that help score the competencies of a strategy consultant.
- Although McKinsey does not share a self-assessment questionnaire per se, it does share examples of problem-solving assessment tests and cases it uses for selection purposes.
- The first one, "Practice Test A," presents three scenarios based on actual cases. The goal is to assess one's ability to extract relevant data from the information provided, understanding of financial and business concepts, logical thinking, and others.
- Test B and Test C follow the same approach.
Bain & Company
- Bain follows a similar process. Consultant candidates are asked to solve a case study. The company provides three examples. For instance, the "Coffee Shop Co." case study asks candidates to analyze the financial aspects involved in opening a coffee shop in England based on the information provided.
- The "Performance Consulting Self-Assessment" test allows consultants to check which areas they need improvement. The test covers four competency areas: business knowledge, performance knowledge, partnering skills, and consulting skill.
- Our initial research shows that there is limited publicly available information regarding self-assessment questionnaires for strategy consultants that would cover all the required skills. Some consulting giants share examples of tests used to assess consultant candidates; however, they cover a limited range of skills.

I have 2 layers, one representing streets, and one representing pipes. The pipe layer has a street field that I want it to be automatically filled (I want the pipe to show the street that it's on) I tried performing a spatial join based on 'closest' but I encountered the following problem: many pipes never intersect the center of the streets they're on (they are usually paralel), and, at the spatial join, those respective pipes don't get the needed data from the street they go along but from the ones that are perpendicular (cause they intersect the pipes, so they have one point that is closest). I would like some advice. Thanks a lot.

Tudor I've face a similar problem and created a programatic tool that would:
 1. Shorten my street centerline. Here I would take it from.4 to.6 for example (in this case I would consider only the dashes)
 After shortening
 2. I would buffer it for a small ammout, let's say 10% of the original street lenght. Imagine that you are buffering only the dashes in the schematic "drawing above".
 3. Try to intersect it with pipes.
You can repeat 2 and three until you've found a certain number of pipes. The idea for shortening the center line is to eliminate the cases where you other perpendicular lines that you do not want.
Check a less ugly scheme:
enter image description here
Another approach is to just buffer, intersect and compare the angles. You can safely set a threshold of what "parallel" is. You will never have straight and parallel lines in this cases (some will be parallel, but that depends on digitizing). You take only the pipes that have similar angles to your centerline.

Thanks for the answer, I hoped for a different answer, I will try to do something alike. – tudorbarascu Jul 25 '11 at 4:14
I'll see if I can find some code to help you. This method improves confidence of the results, it's not the most pratical, but it works great on regular grids. The more irregular the street network the less confidence you can have with it. – George Jul 25 '11 at 14:29
