Uff da! | what does the expression mean? | Norway
Uff da! is a Norwegian interjection, often used to express sympathy. For example when a child falls over: Uff da! Slo du deg? - meaning Poor you! Did you hurt yourself?

«Uff da!» - what does it actually mean? | Illustration: LA Dahlmann cc pdm.
«Uff da! Slo du deg nå, lille venn?»
Uff da!
Uff da! is usually said in a deep voice, and in a drawn-out and comforting way. But the response can also be quick and upbeat, if the damage done or the message received is not too bad. Then it works more as an encouragement. Below, see some examples of how the expression is used. There are several phrase-variations, mostly with a fairly similar meaning:
 - Uff a meg!
 - Uff a meg'en!
 - Au da!
 - Oi da!
 - Uff og uff!
 - Uff det var leit å høre!
 - Or simply just – Uff!
The expressions are informal, and usually only used when speaking to someone you know well – both grown-ups and children. However, it can also be used if a stranger tells you something that requires an immediate show of sympathy.
Example 1
The expression used in a conversation with a friend:
Person A | My father just called; he has been in a car accident!
Person B | Uff da! Is he OK?
Person A | He broke his arm.
Person B | Uff a meg! How terrible!
Example 2
The quick, encouraging and upbeat tone would be used if for example a child falls over but turns to you smiling: Uff da! Up you go!
Example 3
The expression can also be used in a more sarcastic context and tone. For example, in a conversation with a friend who earns twice as much as you do:
Person A | I am furious! I only got a 3% pay rise this year!
Person B | Uff da! How terrible for you.
Many descendants of Norwegian emigrants to North America, several generations down the line, still hold on to this somewhat peculiar expression.

My Norwegian heritage
Here is a collection of some wonderful vintage photos, showing a handful of Norwegians and their lives.
In the old farming society, nature dictated the flow of the working year. And farmworkers could only leave their jobs on 2 specific days during the year.
For many, it may come as a surprise that the history of rose painting and its place in Norwegian folk art is not as old as one might think.
Uekte and ekte are Norwegian adjectives that in one context means illegitimate and legitimate - as in a child born outside or inside a marriage.
To make sure he could tide the animals over the long and cold winter, the historical Norwegian farmer utilised all available resources.
The Heddal stave church - stavkirke - is Norway's largest remaining building of its kind. It is a woodwork masterpiece, with a history that stretches back more than 800 years.
Per O. Rød wrote the history of the Stornæve farm and its inhabitants back in 1968. Decades earlier, several children of Stornæve had emigrated to the US.
The old Norwegian farming society was a self-sufficient and balanced world. Coins and notes were all but an alien concept.
In 1942, Hans Hyldbakk wrote the history of the local cotter's holdings in Surnadal, Nordmøre, Norway. The book was updated in 1966.
The Fjord horse is one of today's oldest and purest horse breeds. Its historical habitat is Norway's western coast, with its deep fjords and steep mountainsides.
The Norwegian landscape is wild and beautiful. And it is a lot more than just fjords and mountains.
The old Norwegian farm needed hundreds of litres of water every single day: for food-making, cleaning, and human and animal consumption.
Myrmelk is a Norwegian noun that means milk conserved in a container buried in a mountain peat bog, left there for herders or others to drink at a later stage.

What Are Unbalanced Data Providers And Why Should I Care?
Categories: Full Client, Report Techniques, Web Intelligence Dave Rathbun @ 9:31 am
One of the more powerful features of Web Intelligence (Desktop Intelligence as well) is the ability to combine data from more than one source into one document. This is done by creating multiple data providers, linking them up, and using the combined results in a report block. However, everything has to work out just right. Sometimes it doesn't. :)
Merging Data Providers in Web Intelligence
Dimensions are the "keys" of a data provider. When two database tables are linked in a universe, certain columns are used to join them together. Dimensions serve this role in linking two data providers. When two (or more) data providers are built in Web Intelligence from the same universe they are automatically linked together using any common dimension objects. What happens when two different data sources are used? In that case, the report writer has to merge the information manually. And if the dimensions from each data provider are not identical, the report has what I call "unbalanced" data providers. That's what I want to describe in this blog post.
For my sample I will join two data providers from the Island Resorts Marketing universe. I am going to structure my queries in such a way that they will result in an unbalanced scenario. For my first query I will return Resort + Year + Revenue. For the second query I will return Region + Year + Number of Guests. Resort, Year, and Region are all dimension objects, of course, and Revenue and Number of Guests are my measures. Here are the raw results from each individual data provider. (I am using Web Intelligence XI 3.0 for this demonstration.)
Raw Data
I have one common dimension. I also have two dimensions that are unique, one from each data provider. Since both data providers come from the same universe, the common or shared dimension value (Year) has already been linked, as shown here.
Merged Years
Because the Year object was already merged, I can create a report block that contains Year, Revenue, and Number of Guests. I can also do local variable calculations like Revenue per Guest using simple division.
Merged Block
This is what happens when everything works. :) What if something doesn't work?
Mixing Dimensions Generates Unexpected Results
This block shows what happens when I add Resort to the block shown previously.
Unbalanced Block
Notice anything interesting about the data? About the Number of Guests column specifically?
When the year repeats, the Number of Guests repeats. The Revenue measure seems fine. Before I explain this, let me exchange the Region object for the Resort object and show what happens.
Unbalanced Block
In this case, the Revenue column is strange and the Number of Guests looks okay. To make matters even more confusing, here's what I get if I apply a Sum() to the Revenue column after doing a break on the Year…
Unbalanced Block with Sum
The sum on the footer is identical to the values displayed in the block! Any idea what's going on? :shock:
Measures Do Not Sum, They Project
The secret is that Web Intelligence does not sum a column of values like Excel does. A few weeks ago I discussed the difference between SQL Aggregation and Report Projection which helps explain this. Simply put: when a measure is combined with a set of dimension values in a block, the measure will project (roll up) based on the structure of the block. This is also called the context of the measure within the block. (Please note: The use of the word "context" in this case should not be confused with the concept of a context — set of joins — in a universe design.)
Because of the way I structured my queries, the Revenue context is determined by combinations of the Resort and Year objects. The context of the Number of Guests was set by Region and Year. The Year value is the only common dimension between the two data providers, which is why the block with only the Year dimension object showed valid data. However, if I include a dimension that is not part of a measure context, a problem occurs. When Region was added to the block the Revenue was wrong. When Resort was added the Number of Guests was wrong. In each case, the measure was out of context for at least one dimension.
To repeat: When I created the block with Year as the only dimension everything was fine. Each measure includes Year as part of its context. When I added Resort, the Revenue measure was still in context (and therefore showed the correct results) but the Number of Guests object was out of context. As a result, it used the only context it could (Year) and rolled up to that value, then repeated that value each time the year appeared on the block.
What about that weird behavior of the Sum() function? It turns out that a Sum() doesn't really add up the column values. It does a projection instead. When the block included both Year and Region, the Revenue measure was valid for only the Year therefore it projected to that value. As a result, the measure value is repeated for each different Region in the body of the block as long as the Year is the same. Adding a break on Year created a footer for the block. Since the context for the footer was Year only, that made the Revenue projection (total) for the Year the same on the footer as it was for the body.
Unbalanced Dimensions
Now that I have been through all of that, let me finally explain what I mean by "unbalanced dimensions" as used in the title of this blog post. In my data providers I have Year as a common dimension and Resort hanging off of one side and Region hanging off of the other. Web Intelligence will prevent me from adding both Resort and Region to the block at the same time, but it will allow me to add one of them. Assuming I do that (add an extra dimension) I will have two dimensions from one data provider and one from the other. Two against one is unbalanced.
Resort, Year <-> Year
 Year <-> Year, Region
It doesn't matter which side the extra dimension comes from either.
If you have more than one data provider the following rules apply.
 1. All common dimension values should be linked
 2. Measure context is defined by the dimensions in their source data provider
 3. A block with linked dimensions and measures works fine
 4. Unlinked dimensions from one data provider can be used; others will be designated as incompatible
 5. Measures from the data provider that includes the extra unlinked dimension will be fine
 6. Measures from the other data provider will repeat for each unlinked dimension value because they are at least partially out of context
With all of these complications, Web Intelligence does what it can to show the data properly, even to the point of having the footer totals be correct despite the presense of an unlinked dimension. It's better to manage your data providers to avoid this challenge, but it's nice to know how things work if you can't do that. There are other techniques that can help (like creating variables to demote a dimension to a detail object, if that action is appropriate) but this post is long enough already. 8-)

 In some cases, the magic DeskI function Multicube() can be used to solve some problems. But it does not solve all problems.
 Unfortunately, the function is not available in WebI.
 2. Comment by Dave Rathbun
 Marek, the MultiCube() function will help if data providers are unbalanced "upwards" but not "downwards" as I have discussed in this post. There is no fix for the situation as I outlined it here because the data simply does not exist. There isn't enough information. With an "upwards" unbalanced situation you can force the data down to the lower level, do the join, then roll it up. That's what MultiCube() does.
 Also, XI 3.x introduced the ForceMerge() function to provide this functionality in Web Intelligence. I have a draft of a post talking about that which will hopefully be done. Someday. :)

 Marek, I realized tonight that my comment is hard to understand as far as the distinction I was making. So I guess my follow-up post needs to be written sooner rather than later in order to explain what I meant. :)
 5. Comment by Dave Rathbun
 The next post is essentially done. I usually let a post marinate for a few days and go back and review it before publishing it, so expect it out sometime next week. It does a much better job of explaining that MultiCube() would not fix the scenario outlined in this post, and why.
 6. Comment by Chris
 Dave, so what is the best solution to fix the issue? Creating details can be useful as an extra piece of info on the report, but what if you want to project to that level? The measures only project to dimensions. Is the only way to graft the unbalanced dimensions into one provider or the other?
 The biggest issue I have with details is that once you have the report defined, the data should be available at that level. Meaning, if you add a detail to a report and it is listed as a field it should be available to project as an aggregate. I realize today that the engine is only working with the base, separate Data Providers

ROMAN FOREST, TX
ROMAN FOREST, TEXAS. Roman Forest is located east of U. S. Highway 59 and near the East Fork of the San Jacinto River about thirty-two miles northeast of Houston and twenty-three miles southeast of Conroe in southeastern Montgomery County. The community began as a residential subdivision that developers named for the area's wooded terrain. By the mid-1970s residents voted to incorporate and established a city government. In 1980 Roman Forest had a population of 929. That number increased to 1,033 in 1990 and 1,279 in 2000. Roman Forest has its own police force, elementary school, and churches. Most citizens commute to Houston.

Six-year project could make internet 100 times faster
Ian Grant
The internet could be 100 times faster than it is today if a new £7.2m six-year research project, the Photonics HyperHighway, is successful.
University and science minister David Willetts said the investment will see scientists from the universities of Southampton and Essex working with industry partners BBC Research and Development, Fianium and Oclaro to develop new materials and devices for optical fibre networks. The project will look at the way fibre optics are used, and develop new materials and devices to increase internet bandwidth to ensure that the web can cope with rising demand.
The future internet would have to be based on optical fibre to meet an annual 80% growth in traffic driven by applications such as internet television and cloud computing, said project leader Southampton professor David Payne.
Willetts said the internet was "fundamental to our lives" and that Britain had to ensure that the web infrastructure could continue to meet demand for it.
Payne added, "Our ambition is nothing less than to rebuild the internet hardware to suit it to the needs of 21st-century Britain. This project proposes a radical transformation of the physical infrastructure that underpins these networks."
The UK internet industry was worth an estimated £100bn, so it was in the country's interest to make it even better for businesses and help boost economic growth, Willetts said.

Just a quick note about how MSMQ reports message size.
If you look in the Computer Management snap-in you will see a column marked "size". This is not the message size; it is instead the message BODY size.
I have already populated the queue with 10 messages containing a 10-character payload in my example screenshot. As the 10 characters are in Unicode (double-byte), they take up 20 bytes instead of 10.
To get an idea of the actual message size, have a look in Performance Monitor:
As you can see, there are 10 messages taking up 2,440 bytes. So each message must be averaging 244 bytes - 20 bytes of which is the 10 character payload, 20-22 bytes for the label (again double-byte Unicode) and the rest is overhead.
To get an idea of what sort of things constitute this overhead you can look through the MSMQ API on MSDN or, more simply, have a look at what other column headings are available in Computer Management:
For example, I found after adding the various queue name lengths that both "recipient queue name length" and "destination queue format name length" were 44 bytes long (for the PUBLIC={GUID} queue name used by my application to send the messages).
If the actual message size is critical to your system then you could, if you really wanted to, track down and account for all the bytes in the message.
It is not possible to generalise about how big the overhead will be, though, without benchmarking it yourself with a wide range of representative messages.

In this blog post, we will discuss types of laboratory glass decals that are commonly used in a laboratory setting.
What Are Lab Decals?
Lab decals are stickers or other adhesive materials that are used for various purposes within a laboratory.
Decals are usually made from vinyl or other durable materials.
From identifying the different areas of a laboratory, to indicate safety hazards lab decals have several purposes within a laboratory.
Laboratory Glass Decal
There are many different types of decals that can be used in a laboratory setting. The most common one is Laboratory Glass Decal.
These decals are used on various equipment in the laboratory to provide a precise measurement. Objects used to measure the size of an object, the weight of an object, or the volume of a liquid like test tubes, beakers, flasks, cylinders will have decals on them.
Types of Laboratory Glass Decals
1. Borosilicate Glass Decal
Borosilicate glass is a type of glass that contains boron oxide. This makes the glass more resistant to heat and chemical damage. Borosilicate glass decals are used on laboratory equipment that are made from this type of glass.
2. Soda Lime Glass Decal
Soda lime glass is the most common type of glass. It is made from a combination of soda ash, limestone, and sand. Soda lime glass decals are used on laboratory equipment that are made from this type of glass.
3. Quartz Glass Decal
Quartz glass is a type of glass that contains silicon dioxide. This makes the glass more resistant to heat and chemical damage. Quartz glass decals are used on laboratory equipment that are made from this type of glass.

Time-saving goods are defined as market goods that reduce home labor requirements (e.g. restaurants; washing machines). Assuming that time savings are costly, this paper shows that lower-income individuals can purchase fewer time savings and enjoy less leisure time. Commodity tax rates affecting low-income individuals should depend more on time savings, and less on the classic Corlett and Hague rule. The related literature suggests to impose lower tax rates on goods that require less home labor. This paper shows that goods that offer greater time savings with respect to their more affordable substitutes should also receive favorable tax treatment.

Augustus Loop is an emulation of a tape-based delay effect, with some extra features to facilitate its use as a looping device.
The key features of Augustus Loop that make it more than just a big delay effect are:
- Really long maximum delay (3600 seconds - that's one hour).
- Tap length/tap record. You can set the loop delay time while recording your first phrase.
- Virtual tape. The delay simulates an old-style tape delay, meaning you can:
- Change the tape speed (i.e. pitch up and down).
- Reverse the tape direction.
- Stop the tape.
- Smoothly change the delay time (as if you were changing the head gap on a tape delay).
- Multimode filter and saturation in the feedback loop.
- Four feedback taps (left to left, left to right, right to left and right to right) with independent delay time and feedback settings, for ping-pong effects, stereo delays, etc.
- Pitch and filter LFOs.
- Loop length can be set in terms of the host's tempo setting.
- The plug-in can output MIDI clock messages to synchronise other applications to its loop.
- Automatic fades up and down to allow smooth transitions in your playing. It can even automatically clear the loop for you once it's faded out.
- Host transport-sync'd punch in and out when recording.
- 'Inertia free' mode suppresses the tape-like behaviour when changing delay times to allow seamless transitions between loop lengths (This is also the route to the popular 'multiply' and 'divide' features found on some popular looping devices).

I have been a fan of Loopers hard and soft since the days of the original Lexicon JamMan and the Oberheim EchoPlex Digital Pro. I recently fired up Augustus Loop on an Apple laptop and used it in a live concert. Augustus Loop and it's tape machine paradigm is simply put a ton of sonic fun! I am excited to get deeper into the MIDI.Lua scripting...without a doubt this will really open up the creative live looping potential of AL! Once I started to get the hang of AL I found it to be really smooth and silky sounding or quite edgy and quirky as well.
Augustus Loop is one of those must-have sleeper plugins that if it's not in your arsenal of looping and delay tools you owe it to your looping endeavors to cop it. I have had it since before version 1.5 and it is only recently that I have started to really tap into the wonderful possibilities it presents. I have been working with Augustus Loop controlling it with an FCB1010 with the UNO firmware and the FCBUnOControlCenter editor for OS X and this Laptop Live Looper dream of mine is starting to work as intended (after about 14 years or so)! Thanks to os and Expert Sleepers for Augustus Loop and their complete line of excellent software and hardware tools.

Math 9 Tutoring in Markham
Grade 9 and 10 math is a large leap from elementary school math, especially for those who scored 75% or lower. Many new math concepts are introduced, such as linear equations, quadratics and geometry.
Common challenges in Grade 9 and 10 math include thinking problems and word problems. Students need to strengthen their foundational skills to succeed in Grade 9 and 10, especially if they have gaps in their Grade 8 and 9 learning. Such gaps include integers, fractions, and linear equations. Students must work diligently in these areas in order to proceed on to Grade 11 math successfully.
The major concern for math is that it is cumulative. Each math grade level is a building block to the next, and without a strong knowledge of previous math concepts, students will struggle. For example, math tests often check for understanding of previous math concepts in most steps of the questions asked.
At QEA, we focus on building the student's math foundations for their long term success. Since QEA is an inspected school under the Ministry of Education, we have in-depth knowledge of the math curriculum and how each math building block leads to the next. Through easy-to-understand lessons and step-by-step explanations, most of our students progress well in math and develop a passion for it.

Rapid prototyping of electrochemical lateral flow devices: stencilled electrodes†
A straightforward and very cost effective method is proposed to prototype electrodes using pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) and a simple cutting technique. Two cutting methods, namely blade cutting and CO2 laser ablation, are compared and their respective merits are discussed. The proposed method consists of turning the protective liner on the adhesive into a stencil to apply screen-printing pastes. After the electrodes have been printed, the liner is removed and the PSA can be used as a backing material for standard lateral flow membranes. We present the fabrication of band electrodes down to 250 μm wide, and their characterization using microscopy techniques and cyclic voltammetry. The prototyping approach presented here facilitates the development of new electrochemical devices even if very limited fabrication resources are available. Here we demonstrate the fabrication of a simple lateral-flow device capable of determining glucose in blood. The prototyping approach presented here is highly suitable for the development of novel electroanalytical tools.

Cyanopica cyana
The Azure-winged Magpie (Cyanopica cyana) is similar in overall shape to the European Magpie (Pica pica) but is a more slender bird with proportionately smaller legs and bill. It has a glossy black top to the head and a white throat. The underparts and the back are a light grey-fawn in colour with the wings and the long tail feathers a beautiful azure blue.
It occurs in two population groups separated by a huge geographical region between. One population lives in western Europe, specifically the south western part of the Iberian peninsula, in Spain and Portugal. The other population occurs over a much larger region of eastern Asia in most of China, Korea, Japan, and north into Mongolia. It inhabits various types of coniferous and deciduous forest including parks and gardens in the eastern populations.
Often food is found as a family group or several groups making flocks of up to 30 birds and consists of many invertebrates and their larvae, soft fruits and berries and human scraps in parks and towns.
Usually nests in loose, open colonies with a single nest in each tree. There are usually between 6-8 eggs that are incubated for 15 days.
The voice is a quick fired and metallic sounding kwink-kwink-kwink usually preceeded by a single "krarrah".


text: Early research examined the direct effect of perceived connectivity (PC) on intention to adopt information systems. In this study, we extend that research stream by examining the mediating effects of perceived enjoyment (PE) and perceived playfulness (PP) on the relationship between PC and the intention to use social media within the workplace. To test our proposed model, we collected data from 2,556 social media users from Australia, Canada, India, the UK, and the US. We applied the REBUS-PLS algorithm, a response-based method for detecting unit segments in PLS path modelling and assessing the unobserved heterogeneity in the data sample. Based on the strength of effects, the algorithm automatically detected two groups of users sharing the same intentions to use social media. A post hoc analysis of each group was done using contextual and demographic variables including geographic location, country, age, education and gender. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

Why are there so few hurricanes every year?
We are about five weeks away from the climatological peak of the hurricane season, which stretches from early June to November.
During that period, even in a particularly active year, not many hurricanes actually develop. Forming over tropical oceans ensures that warm sea-surface temperature (SST) provides a mature hurricane with a means to warm and moisten the air that flows toward the important eye-wall convection. Thus, it is not surprising that hurricanes struggle to develop if the SST is not 79.7 degrees or warmer. Continue reading

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

Sharjah Architecture Triennial, photo by Ieva Saudargaitė
Sharjah Architecture Triennial will seek to overturn "orientalist cliches"
A new architecture triennial launching in the United Arab Emirates next year will challenge "pernicious" western views of Asian, African and Middle Eastern architecture, according to curator Adrian Lahoud.
The Sharjah Architecture Triennial, debuting in the Emirati city in November 2019, aims to tackle stereotypes about the region and its architecture.
"There's going to be an attempt to rethink architecture beyond a Western European framework," Lahoud told Dezeen.
"You get all these orientalist cliches and you find them in all kinds of various forms of knowledge production, and they're continually repeated within the media."

The first Sharjah Architecture Triennial will "look beyond a Western European framework" says curator Adrian Lahoud. Photo is by Rabee Younes
Lahoud, who is dean of the school of architecture at the Royal College of Art in London, revealed details of the triennial at a launch event at the Venice Architecture Biennale at the end of May.
In an exclusive interview with Dezeen ahead of the launch, he criticised the western tendency to highlight vernacular design, traditional materials and even tribal dress from non-western cultures.
"Those kinds of cliches are pernicious, virulent, and objectionable tropes, that really no major international exhibition of architecture that I've seen in decades has been exempt from," he said. "There's a lack of indigenous modernities or futures in those accounts."
Triennial will "look beyond the object"
Instead, the three-month-long triennial in port city Sharjah, which neighbours Dubai, will look "beyond a focus on the object, the focus on the form of the object, or thinking about the building envelope as where architecture ends," said Lahoud.
"It's important because our perspective of architecture is so dominated by the legacy of Western European forms of thinking," he said. "This is a part of the world that is still involved in various different struggles against colonialism."

Taking place in port city Sharjah, which neighbours Dubai, the triennial will focus on architecture in North and East Africa, the Middle East and South Asia
Looking at architecture in North and East Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, the inaugural event is titled Rights of Future Generations.
It will examine how the recent focus on individual rights to things such as health, education and housing have diminished concern about collective entitlements such as rights to natural resources and a benign environment.
Looking at architecture from the perspective of future generations
Lahoud hopes the triennial will help move the discussion ''beyond questions of individual rights to think about collective rights, from the perspective of a future generation".
"But it's challenging, as future generations don't exist, so who speaks on behalf of them?" he said, stressing that this is the key question that architecture should be addressing.
"The reason it's becoming such a fundamental question and why it's so important to use as a kind of lens to think about architecture and think about cities is because there's no doubt in anyone's minds that we are making massive transformations to the planet at the moment," he said. "These are transformations that will have really fundamental long-term consequences on quality of life."
This involves overturning western views on architecture and urbanism, Lahoud believes.
"Shelter, for example, assumes that there is a distinction between ourselves and the environment; that the environment is a threat and we have to be protected from it," he said. "That's a core concept within architecture, but not all societies see their relationship to the environment in the same way."
Western architecture is "condescending"
Lahoud attacked the way other international architecture exhibitions presented architecture from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
"For example, this obsession with tradition in the vernacular," he said. "This condescending appreciation of creativity under conditions of adversity. Or even the semiotics of architectural materials, bamboo and mud bricks, and so-called other traditional materials. There's always a complete absence of technological sophistication or technological experimentation."
He added: "Architects from that part of the world get admitted to international exhibitions if they're in traditional dress, and of course that standard never applies to architects from a North American or Western European context."
"The question we should be asking is why does the Western curatorial gaze, whenever it looks out to those parts of the world, basically seek works that only confirms preconceptions of what architecture from that part of the world should look like."

The aim of the event is to overturn western views on architecture and urbanism, according to Lahoud
Lahoud, an architect, researcher and educator, was appointed dean of the RCA's school of architecture in 2015 when his predecessor Alex de Rijike resigned to focus on his architecture practice dRMM.
Specialising in post-colonial nation-building projects and climate research in the context of the global south, Lahoud's recent projects include an installation called Climate Crimes, which is currently on show at the V&A as part of the exhibition The Future Starts Here.
He promised to put voices of young people in the regions covered by the triennial at the centre of the show, although he conceded that three months would not be time enough to address the scale of issues they face.
"The thing that excites me the most is the opportunity to make a space for dialogue, to create a platform for an emerging generation of architects, of scholars, of artists, planners, urban designers, who are working in parts of the world that sometimes don't have access to really basic things like national archives, to a documentation of their own histories because of colonialism, because archives were taken back to Europe or destroyed."

Ruby Question
How to handle exceptions in own method
How can I handle exceptions in its own method instead of this?
items.each do |item|
begin
url = item.url
page = Nokogiri::HTML(open(url).read)
rescue Exception => e
puts "Couldn't read \"#{ url }\": #{ e }"
else
title = get_title(page)
end
end
Something like:
def get_page(url)
begin
Nokogiri::HTML(open(url).read)
rescue Exception => e
puts "Couldn't read \"#{ url }\": #{ e }"
end
end
#and then call:
items.each do |item|
get_page(url)
title = get_title(page)
end
Where should I place the
else
clause?
Answer
To start, you almost never want to rescue from Exception. Instead rescue from StandardError (or the specific errors). Exception is an ancestor of StandardError and includes errors that are most likely not recoverable (out of memory error, syntax error, for example).
You can use
rescue => e
to rescue from standard error or
rescue StandardError => e
Any type of Nokogiri parsing error should inherit from StandardError. Net/HTTP is a little more problematic. See "What's the best way to handle exceptions from Net::HTTP?", but you can just rescue them individually.
Now to your question. You could return nil from your get_page method and check to see if the result of get_page is nil before getting the title:
def get_page(url)
 Nokogiri::HTML(open(url).read)
rescue => e
 puts "Couldn't read \"#{ url }\": #{ e }"
 nil
end
items.each do |item|
 url = item.url
 page = get_page(url)
 if page
 title = get_title(page)
 end

Analytical Solution of Laplace and Poisson Equations Using Conformal Mapping and Kronecker Products
Abstract
In this paper, using the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of symmetric block diagonal matrices with infinite dimension and numerical method of finite difference, a closed-form solution for exact solution of Laplace equation is presented. The method of this paper has applications in different states of boundary conditions like Neumann, Dirichlet, and other mixed boundary conditions. Using the method of this paper, a mathematical model for the exact solution of the Poisson equation is derived. Since these equations have many applications in engineering problems, in each part of this paper, examples, like water seepage problem through the soil and torsion of prismatic bars, are presented. Finally, a method is provided for torsion problem of prismatic bars with non-circular and non-rectangular cross-sections utilizing conformal mapping.

FOREST SERVICE BANS OPEN FIRES IN ALABAMA'S NATIONAL FORESTS
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- With wildfires burning in the Cheaha Wilderness area of the Talladega National Forest, USDA Forest Service officials have issued an order prohibiting open fires in Alabama's four national forests from now until Sept. 30.
"We are fast approaching the last official holiday for the summer, and we want it to be a safe and enjoyable," said Miera B. Crawford, supervisor for the National Forests in Alabama.
The order, which covers forest lands in Bibb, Calhoun, Cherokee, Chilton, Clay, Cleburne, Covington, Dallas, Escambia, Franklin, Hale, Lawrence, Macon, Perry, Talladega, Tuscaloosa and Winston counties, makes it illegal to build, maintain, attend, or use a fire or campfire (wood or charcoal) or stove fire in the Bankhead, Oakmulgee, Talladega or Tuskegee National Forests.
The only exceptions to this prohibition are fires at developed recreation areas within designated fire rings on the Bankhead, Conecuh, Oakmulgee, Shoal Creek and Talladega Ranger Districts. Open fires are prohibited (no exception) in the entire Tuskegee National Forest.
Officials will allow the use of gas or liquid fuel type stoves or backpacking stoves.
Additionally, any and all fireworks or any kind of pyrotechnic devices are prohibited in all four national forests.
The forest service has also closed until Sept. 30 the following Cheaha Wilderness trails due to wildfires: Chinabee Silent Trail, Cave Creek Trail, Nubin Creek Trail, Odum Trail and the Pinhoti National Recreation Trail.

I have text data that I read from a file; I need to place it in the body of an email message. There are about 50 such data items to be placed into existing text.
It seems I should be able to put a marker (dataItem1, dataItem2, etc.) and replace that with the matching text data from the file.
Searches only turn up replacing field data such as Recipient, Subject, etc., or replacing the entire body. Would I have to generate the entire body in the code? Seems like I should be able to "insert" a data item into existing body text.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

1 Answer
Use the Body property of the MailItem you're working with. Assign it to a variable and you can edit it:
Dim body As String
body = myMessage.Body
body = Replace(body,"dataItem1","your replacement here")
Then assign the variable to the Body:
myMessage.Body = body

There can be plenty of debate over the costs of universal basic income.
The 560 euros per month payment in Finland can be roughly in line with the amount of unemployment assistance recipients might already receive by the government. Researchers in Finland said various other benefits might need to be reduced to pay for a universal basic income across the country.
Yet, in a 2017 report, the OECD found of which reducing existing benefits to pay for basic income could actually have a negative impact on poverty levels.
"Overall poverty rates (in addition to gaps) can in fact increase significantly in countries of which currently have tightly targeted systems of income support," the report said.
Instead of replacing existing programs, some advocates say universal basic income should be an added benefit.
"The better way can be to see basic income as a transformation of what's already there," said Louise Haagh, chair of the advocacy group Basic Income Earth Network.

 1. Trying to setup my voicemail with Vodacom on my Samsung phone by dialing 133. Response "The number does not exist.
 1. Hi James. Thanks for the heads-up. We have now updated the article after reaching out to Vodacom. Apparently, the 133 bit is for Lesotho but it's on the Vodacom South Africa website. Hence the confusion.

Crops are highly susceptible to drought in sloping land. Due to its good adaptability to complex terrain, sprinkler irrigation is one of the commonly used methods for sloping land. To improve water application uniformity for sprinkler irrigation on sloping land, an experiment was conducted on an artificial slope to determine the effects of pulsating versus constant pressure on sprinkler flow rate, radius of throw, water distribution pattern, and water application uniformity. Compared with sprinkler flow rate and water distribution uniformity at constant pressure, sprinkler flow rate was not reduced, but water distribution uniformity for a single sprinkler was improved due to the decreased uphill throw, downhill throw and the ratio of downhill throw to uphill throw at pulsating pressure. The Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient (CU) value of water distribution for a single sprinkler at pulsating pressure was about 10% higher than that of constant pressure. When water distribution of single sprinkler overlapped with rectangular arrangement, CU values for pulsating pressure were on average 4.06% higher than those for constant pressure with different sprinkler spacings. Thus, pulsating pressure is recommended for use in sprinkler irrigation on sloping land to improve water application uniformity.

Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Developer's Guide for C Clients
A handle that specifies the properties that determine the behavior of this connection. You must create this handle using the MQCreateProperties function before you try to create a connection. This handle will be invalid after the function returns.
See Table 4–2 for information about connection properties.
An MQString specifying the user name to use when connecting to the broker.
The library makes a copy of the username string.
An MQString specifying the password to use when connecting to the broker.
The library makes a copy of the password string.
An MQString used to identify the connection. If you use the connection for a durable consumer, you must specify a non-NULL client identifier.
The library makes a copy of the clientID string.
A connection-exception callback function used to notify the user that a connection exception has occurred.
A data pointer that can be passed to the connection exceptionListener callback function whenever it is called. The user can set this pointer to any data that may be useful to pass along to the connection exception listener for this connection. Set this to NULL if you do not need to pass data back to the connection exception listener.
Output parameter for the handle to the connection that is created by this function.
The MQCreateConnection function creates a connection to the broker. The behavior of the connection is specified by key values defined in the properties referenced by the propertiesHandle parameter. You must use the MQCreateProperties function to define these properties.
You cannot change the properties of a connection you have already created. If you need different connection properties, you must close and free the old connection and then create a new connection with the desired properties.
Setting a Client Identifier
The messaging service uses a client identifier in combination with a durable subscription name to uniquely identify each durable subscription. If a durable subscriber is inactive at the time that messages are delivered to a topic destination, the broker retains messages for that subscriber and delivers them when the subscriber once again becomes active.
Handling Connection Exceptions
Use the exceptionListener parameter to pass the name of a user-defined callback function that can be called synchronously when a connection exception occurs for this connection. Use the exceptionCallBackData parameter to specify any user data that you want to pass to the callback function.

I am looking for a way to do the following:
A Project : Defines an abstract class that is called when some events happen (event handler if you will) Defines the engine that will fire the events using the event handler above
B Project: Defines the implementation for the abstract class Runs the engine.
How can i register the implementation class and make sure that is the one being called when the engine runs.
EDIT 1: By register i mean i must somehow define which is the implementation that should be called for that given abstract object
Sorry if the question isn't too clear, let me know if you need some more details

URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — Jack-o'-lanterns and other decorative gourds were brought to the Urbana Landscape Recycling Center on Saturday afternoon to properly dispose of them in a fun way.
The Second Annual Pumpkin Smash encouraged families across the area to avoid throwing their pumpkins in the garbage. Old or rotting pumpkins were brought to the event, and families could crush them against a wall.
Grace Wilken, Champaign County Environmental Stewards Board Member, said that making sure pumpkins are thrown away correctly is key for a healthy environment.
"We're trying to make sure that all of these old pumpkins get put into compost and go back into making new soil rather than going into the landfill and creating harmful emissions," Wilken said. "They create methane, breaking down in the landfill. And so compost is a great way to take organic matter and recycle those nutrients, instead of having them turn into greenhouse gases."
All composted pumpkins are ground up and turned into soil. Last year's Pumpkin Smash collected 1,500 pounds of pumpkin waste. Officials are hoping for similar numbers this year.

Changing the Minimum quantity message
Putting short notes or messages on the check out that will serve as a reminder or a heads up to the customer is a smart move. This short note is called in-cart message. This will be helpful to the customers since they will be aware of other good offers they are qualified to avail.
The Wholesale Hero app allows you to edit the in-cart messaging to encourage customers to add more products or to display required minimum values for wholesale discounts to be applied.
In this article, we are going to modify the texts on the Minimum quantity message, one of the in-cart messages. This message appears on the cart page when the quantity of the items inside the cart does not meet the minimum requirement as shown below:
To change this message, follow the steps below:
Step1. Launch the app and click Settings from the navigation panel.
Step2. Scroll down to the Language Settings section.
Step3. Edit the Minimum quantity message by entering the texts in the given field.

Amphibians are small vertebrates that need water or a moist environment in order to survive. The species in this group include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All of them can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin. Amphibians also have special skin glands that are responsible for the production of useful proteins and also help in transport of water, oxygen and carbon dioxide either into or out of the animal. They also help in fighting bacteria or fungal infections and at least one of them is used for defense in each species. To warn their potential predators, it has been observed that the most toxic amphibians are also the brightest in colour. Curare, for example, is found on the skin of colorful poison dart frogs. The larvae are aquatic and free swimming frogs and toads which, at this stage, are called tadpoles. At a certain size, the young develop limbs and lungs. Some of them also lose their tails and eventually hop or climb out of the water as adults and spend the rest of their lives on land. This process is known as metamorphosis. Like reptiles, amphibians are cold-blooded. Because of their special skin, they require very specific living conditions. Too much sun can damage their cells. Too much wind can dry their skin and dehydrate the animal. As a result, amphibians are the first to die off when their habitats are disturbed or contaminated with chemicals like weed killers.

I saw the phrase "Call for sb's head on a plate" in the following sentence of The New Yorker magazine's article (January 20) titled "Newt and His Wives," reporting that Gingrich was in a furor when asked by the moderator, John King, about his second and third wives during the presidential debate in South Carolina in January 19th night.
I can easily guess that 'call for sb's head on a plate' means "call for sb's resignation' here. But I can't find the heading of either "call for a head on a plate," or "a head on a plate" in any of the Oxford, Cambridge, or Merriam-Webster online dictionaries.
On the other hand, GoogleNGram registers "head on a plate," and it indicates that the phrase existed from around mid 1800, but the usage started to be prominent since circ 1930.
Is "call for sb's head on a plate," which sounds pretty raw to me, a popular phrase? I wonder if it's associated with the biblical episode of Salome, Herod's daughter who demanded the head of John the Baptist after dancing in front of her father in a feast. What is the origin of this phrase?
Your speculation is correct. The phrase is from the Bible story of the beheading of John the Baptist by Herod in Matthew 14:
(According to this site, Salome is an opera by Richard Strauss, and was based on a play written by Oscar Wilde about the death of John the Baptist. The daughter of Herodias is not named in the Bible; information about her comes from the historian Flavius Josephus, who apparently named her.)
Asking for the head of one's enemy to be presented on a platter has become a phrase denoting a desire for revenge on an enemy.
An Ngram of head on a plate vs head on a platter shows the latter phrase to be much more prevalent. As for either form being a popular idiom, because of its biblical origin, it's a phrase that many people in the US (and perhaps other English-speaking countries) would have no trouble understanding.
 - It is still understandable when translated verbatim to other languages since it is a biblical term. Danish: Hans hoved på et fad Dutch: Zijn hoofd op een schaal - seems important to bring it on the equivalent of a platter ;) etc – mplungjan Jan 21 '12 at 7:50

 _USER_ The King James version translates Mt 14:8 as "Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger" which is quite an amusing image. – Gnawme Jan 21 '12 at 19:14
 - 1
 Oxford English Dictionary: charger "1. A large plate or flat dish for carrying a large joint of meat; a platter." – GEdgar Jan 22 '12 at 18:24
 - Brings to mind the head of Frankenstein's monster's head hooked up to a mobile phone charger... – mplungjan Jan 22 '12 at 19:25
 - _USER_ Oh, I looked up the term long ago; but when you first read the phrase, you think, "What?" – Gnawme Jan 22 '12 at 20:39
It is a common usage - from the biblical reference that _USER_ mentioned - and usually means that a person is not going to take revenge themselves, but feels that others should deal with this person. It is often used to say "this person has clearly broken xxx rules, so yyy should probably act"
In the case highlighted, it was used to indicate that Newt was expecting Clinton to be impeached and brought down. It has an implication of wanting to see someone destroyed, while not intending to actually do anything illegitimate to make it happen.
The Salome episode, if not the origin of the phrase, certainly "popularized" it. In its original context, it referred to the "execution" (beheading) of John the Baptist, her mother's enemy.
In the Clinton context, it refers to a figurative "beheading." Often, if a king was "brought down" (from power), he was also beheaded (e.g. Charles I or Louis XVI). In this case, it was a call for Clinton to be kicked out of the Presidency (i.e. impeached). The "beheading" part has never been part of the American tradition.

An electro-Thermal co-design study has been performed on vertical GaN transistors (oxide, GaN interlayer based vertical trench MOSFETs; OG-FETs). Vertical (GaN-on-GaN) and quasi vertical (GaN-on-sapphire) devices were investigated. Vertical devices showed a 60% lower device peak temperature rise as compared to the quasi-vertical OG-FETs. Using electro-Thermal device simulation, the internal electric field and heat generation distributions within the OG-FETs were analyzed. The temperature rise of a hexagonal honeycomb structured scaled array of OG-FETs was characterized using thermoreflectance thermal imaging and infrared thermography. A 3D thermal model was used to evaluate the impact of design variables including the number of cells, the pitch between individual cells, and the aspect ratio of the array configuration on the self-heating behavior of multi-cell arrays of OG-FETs.

How to Make Steam Download Faster
With Steam being the largest game distribution platform available today, there's practically no game you can't download using this service. Having well over 30,000 available titles and tens of millions of players worldwide, there's a lot of online exchange going on every minute.
Considering all that traffic, it's no wonder their servers can become overloaded at times, especially when a popular new game gets its release. That's why it's important to make sure you get the best connection to Steam you can, so you can achieve the fastest download speed possible. Luckily, this article is here to help you with that, providing a couple of options you can try.
How to Make Steam Download Faster
Although it might appear that you can't do anything about the download speed, this actually isn't the case. As a matter of fact, there are many ways to do improve this, as you can see from the list below:
 1. Make sure the Steam app is properly set up to maximize your download speed.
 2. Check if there are any anti-virus or firewall restrictions on your computer.
 3. Disconnect any unnecessary devices from your internet connection.
 4. Set your router to prioritize Steam traffic.
 5. Switch from a Wi-Fi to an Ethernet connection.
Tweaking the Steam App for Faster Downloads
As mentioned above, when trying to improve your Steam downloads, the first place to start is the Steam client app itself.
 1. Open the Steam desktop client app.
 2. Click on the "Steam" tab at the top.
 3. Click on "Settings."
 4. Click on "Downloads" from the menu on the left.
 5. In the main portion of the screen, under the "Download Restrictions" section, make sure that the option "Limit bandwidth to" is set to "No limit." If there's a limit to your connection, your downloads won't be able to perform faster than that.
 6. In this section, there's also the "Throttle downloads while streaming" option. Make sure to keep this one checked, so that background Steam downloads don't take over your connection when streaming your gameplay.
 7. Next, check the "Download Region" section. In most cases, you should set this option to the region where you reside, or at least the one closest to your location.
As a general rule of thumb, the closer the region, the better the connection speed you can achieve. However, that is not always the case. If you're living in a region with a lot of Steam traffic, you might experience slower download speed due to the overcrowding of servers. In that case, you can choose another server that currently has less traffic.
To know which server to choose, you can use Steam's download stats map. There, you can see all the countries in the world and how much traffic they have had in the past seven days. This is a great way to know which region to choose in order to avoid too much traffic.
Checking Your Computer
If you've tweaked your Steam app as described above, but still experience issues with download speed, then perhaps something in your system may be causing the issue. The first culprit, in this case, could be a firewall you are using on your computer.
Since there are many different firewall apps out there, each one can have its own approach to this issue. However, all of them should have a list of apps they're monitoring and allow you to add or remove certain apps from the list. If that is the case, simply remove Steam from this kind of list, and your download speed should significantly improve.
The next on the list is the anti-virus software. Similar to firewalls, these apps can also reduce your traffic speed in order to check everything your computer exchanges with external servers. Although this makes you much safer when online, it can have a negative effect on your Steam download speed. To make sure this is the case, try making an exception for Steam in your anti-virus software and try downloading something.
Finally, you can set the Steam app to have a priority treatment in your computer's operating system. For example, Windows users can do this easily in Task Manager.
 1. Right-click on the Windows logo in the taskbar.
 2. Click on "Task Manager."
 3. Click on the "Details" tab to show all current processes with more details.
 4. Sort everything by name. To do so, just click the "Name" column at the top.
 5. Start typing "steam" and the related entries should appear.
 6. Now, right-click on Steam.exe.
 7. Click on "Set priority."
 8. Click on "High."
This will make the Steam client app use more resources than other apps, thus making sure it has all the bandwidth it needs.
Checking Your Internet Connection
Now that you've tweaked your Steam app and made sure your computer works in unison with Steam, it's possible you're still experiencing drops in download speed. So, now is the time to check your Internet connection.
First of all, you should check if there are any other devices connecting to the same network you're using. If someone else is downloading something over your home internet connection, it's normal to experience slower speed on your end. Another common example is when your family watches Netflix. Since there's a lot of 4K content on this streaming service, this can cause significant drops in download speed too.
The main reason behind this is the fact that home internet routers treat all devices in the network the same. That's why everybody can use your home Wi-Fi at the same time. However, if you want to prioritize Steam traffic over everything else, you might be able to do so if your router has such an option. To make sure if that's possible and how to do it, check your router's manual to learn more about it.
If you're sure there aren't any additional devices that are using your internet connection, then you should check your Wi-Fi signal. Sometimes, objects in your house can block the signal and interrupt your connection. To avoid any suspicion, try using an Ethernet cable to directly connect your computer to the internet router at your home. This will provide you with a stable, uninterrupted connection at all times.
Additional FAQ
Why is my download speed so slow on Steam?
There are many reasons why you might have a slow download speed on Steam. For example, you might be using a download region that's currently experiencing a surge in downloads. There could also be another device connected to your network that's using a lot of bandwidth. One common example is when someone at your home is streaming 4K content on Netflix using the same connection.
Other reasons may include poor Wi-Fi signal, firewall restrictions, or even issues with your internet provider. Whatever the cause, be patient, and work through the list of possible causes, one by one. Eventually, you'll find out what the problem is, and thus be able to address it.
Does Steam cap your download speed?
Although Steam has the option to limit the maximum download speed, this one is set to "No limit" by default. If you find this option set to any other value other than "No limit," make sure to sort that out immediately.
How do I improve my download speeds in Steam?
To learn how to improve your download speed in Steam, check out the sections above, which go into much detail about potential solutions.

text: Wrap advertising or a Vehicle Wrap is the term used in the marketing practice of completely or partially covering (wrapping) a vehicle in an advertisement or livery. The result of this process is essentially a mobile billboard. Wrap advertising can be achieved by painting a vehicle's outer surface, but an increasingly ubiquitous practice in the 21st century involves the use of large vinyl sheets as "decals." The vinyl sheets can be removed with relative ease, drastically reducing the costs associated with changing advertisements. While vehicles with large, flat surfaces (such as buses and light-rail carriages) are often utilised due to ease, cars can also serve as hosts for wrap advertising, despite consisting of more curved surfaces.
