ICV Conference Highlights
The message from the Pyxera International Corporate Volunteering Conference, _TAG_, was clear "International Corporate Volunteering (ICV) has massive benefits for volunteering professionals, the sponsoring corporation, and the receiving social impact organization." As such, it is no surprise that ICV programs are growing at a rate of over 150% year over year.
In fact, almost every Fortune 100 company with an ICV program is expanding it. Most notably, IBM increased the number of employees it sends overseas to volunteer every year from 400 to 500.
This summary of the conference provides statistics, resources, and information you need to know about international corporate volunteering programs – including how to start your own.
I. Why Should Corporations Have International Corporate Volunteering Programs
The benefits are resoundingly clear. ICV programs are proven to
 1. Have bottom line benefits for the corporation
 2. Create a positive social impact
 3. Develop leadership and innovation skills in program participants
We recently published a blog post with a wealth of information about the benefits of volunteering overseas. In summary, the following infographic summarizes extensive research proving how ICV programs help with recruitment, retention, engagement, and performance of employees.
II. How to Start an International Corporate Volunteering Program
Hint: "Learn by doing"
The key to starting a successful international corporate volunteering program is actually starting an ICV program. Perhaps easier said than done, but thought-leaders at the conference shared the following which should help:
1. Understand Your Business | Programs will only grow if businesses can justify the expense. Most programs develop leadership skills or foster innovation as its stated benefit. If you understand your business, and the initiatives within it, you can build a strong case for designing a program that creates social good and helps your business.
2. Find Executive Support | All programs that were growing had a senior leader who personally supported the initiative.
3. Create Program Goals That Align with Business Goals | While most programs are designed for leadership development, some are designed to foster innovation, understand new markets, or give employees field experience in a geography/country of strategic importance to the company.
4. Start Small | Convincing leadership of benefits of an ICV program is not always easy. There are enough programs touting benefits to justify a full-fledged program, but ICV programs should be unique to your company, so start a pilot first.
5. Collaborate | Some ICV programs are in HR, CSR, or even in individual business units. Regardless of where it sits, there is data, resources, and know-how in other departments that is useful for design, support, and reporting. As an example, HR might have data about employee engagement that your program can benchmark against, and CSR will want to know about the impact the ICV program created for its annual report.
6. Find External Partners | Organizations like Pyxera Global, MovingWorlds, RealizedWorth and others can help you efficiently find social impact organizations overseas where your institution's know-how, and the skills of the people within it, can actually make a positive difference. These organizations also provide guidance for program setup, evaluation, training, and resources.
7. Measure Impact | ICV programs are proven to benefit the corporation, the employee participants, and the social impact organization that receives support. Establishing success metrics, measuring them, and reporting impact to ALL stakeholders is vital to program continuation and growth.
III. How to Measure and Increase the Impact of ICV Programs
The most effective programs measure success on a number of factors, and by surveying stakeholders at multiple points in time. Surveys should go to:
 - Volunteering employees for program perception and ways to improve
 - Managers of volunteering employees for skill development in participants
 - Business partners in the company (i.e. HR and CSR) for possible efficiencies
 - Executives on program perception in the company
 - Partnering organizations on impact created
 - Other stakeholders on program perception in the field (i.e. local governments)
In addition to surveys pre, during, and immediately following the volunteer engagement, successful programs also follow the long-term impact on the hosting organizations and the participating employees for the years following the international volunteer assignment.
The following picture shows 7 ways to grow the impact of ICV programs:
 1. Grow ICV ProgramsLinking to the Business Market Growth Strategy | If your corporation has an interest in expanding to a new country, volunteering there first will provide invaluable insight on country and cultural dynamics.
 2. Cross-company Partnerships | Unify efforts across your company to create efficiencies and buy-in.
 3. Issue Focus | Pick a cause-area that is relevant to your corporation and its employees.
 4. Complementary Support | In global volunteering, learning happens both ways. Find field partners that can support and teach each other, and you.
 5. Country Development Agenda Alignment | Align your corporate efforts with the country's development efforts so that local governments will welcome and help with program implementation.
 6. Repeat Engagement | Build long-term partnerships with organizations in the field.
 7. Linking to CSR Strategy | To improve reporting and executive support, show that the program can enhance existing social impact initiatives.
IV. Companies with ICV Programs
Many companies have formal international corporate volunteering programs, some of the most recognized brands include IBM, Pfizer, SAP, Intel, Microsoft, Credit Suisse, DOW, Ernst & Young, and Google. Many more encourage and support individual efforts on sabbaticals and vacations. For more information on international volunteering, this previous blog post provides statistics about volunteering overseas.

Hormones in Metamorphosis of Amphibia
In amphibians, the changes that take place during metamorphosis are brought about by hormonal secretions of the thyroid gland. The first sign of this was obtained in 1912 when Gudematsch reported that frog tadpoles while fed dried and powdered sheep thyroid underwent precocious or early metamorphosis. Identical results however were not observed when tadpoles were fed along with preparation of other glands. These experiments made it feasible to postulate that thyroid hormones bring about metamorphosis.
In 1918 B.M. Allen observed that elimination of thyroid rudiment from early frog tadpoles, prevented them from going through metamorphosis, and caused them to become giant tadpoles instead. Conversely, if they were fed with thyroid or immersed in water containing soluble extracts from thyroid glands they then proceeded immediately to metamorphosis. Identical experiments in urodele amphibians, in particular in axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, also indicated the significance of the thyroid gland in urodele metamorphosis.

Moving Food-Resilience Data to the Cloud
People need food, regularly and often. That's such an obvious truth that's it's easy to lose sight of it—easy, that is, until calamity strikes and the food supply is endangered, as it could be in the wake of ongoing changes to Earth's climate. That prospect is far from inviting.
This is why Microsoft supports the White House's inclusion of Food Resilience as one of the themes of its Climate Data Initiative (CDI), an effort to open, organize, and centralize climate-relevant data on Data.gov's Climate website. And that's why teams from across Microsoft—including the company's research unit—are playing an intrinsic role in supporting the initiative.
The CDI was announced on June 25, 2013, by U.S. President Barack Obama. Little more than a year later, progress is under way. Work on the Coastal Flooding Risks to Communities theme began in March, and in Washington, D.C., on July 29, the White House announced public and private partnerships and commitments in further support of CDI.
One of those partnerships features the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) joining forces with Microsoft Research to organize data sets and tools in the cloud to provide insight into vulnerabilities in the food system. Climate change could affect almost all aspects of that system, from the ability to grow food, to the reliability of food transportation and food safety, to international trade in agricultural goods.
Microsoft has posted the USDA data sets to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace—they can be accessed by entering the search term "USDA"—to help make it easier for others to obtain data for analysis and apps. Those data and associated tools are provided by Microsoft Research as part of the Microsoft Azure for Research program.
"Microsoft is working with the USDA on the CDI initiative," says Dan Fay, director of Earth, Energy, and Environment for Microsoft Research, "because we believe that technology can help with the challenge of climate change and food resilience.
"This can be accomplished through making the data much more available via the Microsoft Azure Marketplace—as well as helping users better analyze the data via tools such as Microsoft Excel and cloud-based tools such as Azure Machine Learning."
Microsoft contributions to the CDI Food Resilience initiative are broad and detailed. Among them are the Azure Marketplace, which not only will expose the USDA data sets, but also will add more data sets over the next year, as well as introducing an Agriculture tab to its user interface; Power BI, which provides self-service data analytics and provides free access to the Azure Marketplace; and the Developer and Partner Evangelism and Microsoft in the Public Sector groups, which will co-create and drive activations for a planned series of related appathons.
Microsoft Research, too, has a robust role to play in topics that affect agriculture, such as assuring food safety, protecting natural resources, fostering rural communities, and addressing hunger, both in the United States and abroad.
The USDA and Microsoft Research will co-host a pair of innovation workshops in Washington, D.C., on July 30 to engage with farmers and producers to understand the challenges they face.
The first, a morning workshop focusing on food production, will be held at the White House and will address the need for data and tools that can be used by young farmers and producers to cope with climate change.
In the afternoon, the CDI spotlight moves from the White House to the Microsoft Innovation & Policy Center on K Street for a workshop on safe food distribution and the data and tools distributors need as the climate changes.
Microsoft and the USDA also will host the Innovation Challenge, a series of developer activities related to food resilience in key U.S. metro areas, at Microsoft Innovation Centers and collegiate campuses, from Oct. 20-Dec. 10.
The goals of the challenge, beyond demonstrating Microsoft's commitment to addressing climate change with tools and services, are to develop and publish new apps and tools to visualize and analyze multiple sources of data. Those apps and tools will enable new questions to be answered and will encourage users to create apps to reformat complicated USDA data sets into the Azure interface.
"The Innovation Challenge," Fay says, "is a way to focus attention on how the data sets being made available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace from the USDA and other agencies can be used to create new analyses and make the results available via tools and applications.
"This is an opportunity for individuals to use the data sets in innovative ways for the betterment of society."
Participants in the Innovation Challenge—as well as the general public—will benefit from a series of webinars produced by Microsoft and the USDA to describe the data sets and drive awareness of open-source data provided by the U.S. government. The series will come after the workshops, aligned with the release of new data sets in the Azure Data Marketplace.
In addition, Microsoft Research will offer a CDI award program with another Microsoft Azure Request for Proposals, this one devoted to food resilience. Twenty awardees who submit proposals by Sept. 15 will receive a year's worth of free cloud-computing resources. Each award provides as many as 180,000 hours of cloud-computing time and 20 terabytes of cloud storage.
All of these efforts, from the White House, the USDA, and Microsoft, are designed to forestall the day when climate change interrupts the world's food store.
"Making the outcome of the analysis more widely available and accessible via apps on mobile devices and PCs," Fay says, "is a key way that Microsoft can help."

|Grant to preserve rare American music recordings and photos|
|Monday, May 07, 2012|
Dolly Parton's first recording is among the items that the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will preserve, thanks to a new grant from the National Endowment from the Humanities.
The $131,765, three-year grant is called "From the Piedmont to the Swamplands: Preserving Southern Traditional Music." It will help digitize and make available more than 1,650 hours of rare sound recordings and 4,500 photographs of musical figures from the 1920s to the 1980s.
The Parton recording dates from 1960, when the 13-year-old Dolly traveled by bus from Tennessee to Lake Charles, La., to record "Puppy Love" for the Goldband Recording Corporation. The collection holds the original master tape.
Other rarities to be preserved include:
"This grant allows us to preserve national treasures and provide online access to our collections for the first time," says Steve Weiss, curator of the Southern Folklife Collection, one of the nation's largest repositories for Southern music and culture.
The grant will preserve materials from four significant collections: the Goldband Recording Corporation Collection, _PHONE_; the William R. Ferris Collection, 1910s – 2003; the Mike Seeger Collection, 1955 – 2002; and the John Edwards Memorial Foundation Records, 1960 – 1988. Once digitized, the materials will be accessible online through the UNC library website, _URL_.

The Phoenix Park is the most important site for birds in Dublin City. The expanses of semi-natural habitat offer cover, abundant food supplies and nesting sites. Recent surveys recorded seventy two species in the Park throughout the year, of which forty seven are breeding. The park supports twenty eight species of conservation concern in Ireland including four which are red listed. The total number of species found comprises 35% of the total number of species found in Ireland. The greatest density of birds was found in Dublin Zoo where the wild birds share in the food provided to its permanent residents. The lowest density was recorded along Chesterfield Avenue where noise and disturbance makes the area unattractive for birds.
Important features of bird biodiversity in The Phoenix Park include:
- Presence of fourteen species of conservation concern in Europe
- Presence of four species of bird under threat in Ireland. These are the Shoveller, Golden Plover, Black Headed Gull, and Herring Gull
- Presence of seventeen Amber listed species of medium conservation concern in Ireland. They include Tufted Duck, Coot, Stock Dove, Skylark and Swallow
- Breeding Kestrel and breeding Skylark. It is remarkable to find Skylark so near the city centre
- Presence of Jay and Stock Dove associated with woodlands. These species are an indicator of good old woodlands.
The Phoenix Park is an important site for bats in Dublin as its lakes, ponds, woodlands and grasslands support significant numbers of insects on which they feed, whilst buildings and old trees provide numerous roosting sites. At dusk, bats can be easily seen foraging over the lakes and ponds or along the tree lines or woodland rides within the Park. The greatest amount of bat activity is associated with Dublin Zoo.
Important features of bat biodiversity within The Phoenix Park include:
- Six of the ten bat species found in Ireland are present in the park including species of Pipistrelle not previously recorded in Dublin City. Natterers' and Whiskered Bats are also present.
- Evidence for large roosts at several locations (chimney in St Mary's Hospital Complex, Ordnance Survey Ireland, west of Dublin Zoo).
- Minor roosts in The Cooley Chapel in St Mary's Hospital Complex, The Park Superintendents Lodge and Magazine Fort.
Half of all species of terrestrial mammals found in Ireland can also be found in The Phoenix Park. They are principally found at the western end which is bounded by Farmleigh and Mount Sackville. Hares and red squirrel were present in the recent past but the former were disturbed by dogs and the latter have disappeared through competition with the grey squirrel.
Important features of mammal biodiversity in The Phoenix Park include:
- The established herd of 400-450 fallow deer descend from the original herd introduced in the 1660s.
- The presence of over 20 badger setts which are occupied by at least six social groups. They are concentrated around the edges of the Park. Badgers forage in grasslands and signs of digging for earthworms provide evidence of their presence.
- Other animals abundantly present in the Park include foxes, hedgehogs, rabbits, pygmy shrew, house mice, wood mice and brown rats.
A long established tradition of the use of the Park to support research on mammals and particularly deer. As a result staff, residents and visitors are very aware of mammals and there is considerable baseline data on the status of this group of animals.

A variable, often large scale farmed landscape closely associated with village settlements.
- A varied, gently rolling and almost flat topography.
- Medium to large-sized arable and hedged fields.
- Thinly scattered hedgerow trees, which are mostly ash.
- Ash, willow and poplars fringing ditches and streams.
- Prominent village settlements scattered throughout the area.


text: This study aims to investigate the factors regulating population size and colony distribution of Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) at Cape Hallett. Data was collected on Adelie penguin reproductive effort and chick condition including total number of adults, number of breeding pairs, number of active nests, number of territories, number of unknown, nests with 1 or 2 eggs, nests with 1 or 2... chicks and the number of creche chicks. Satellite transmitters and time depth recorders were used to track individual penguins at sea to determine their foraging areas and strategies during the breeding season. Regurgitated food samples were collected for analysis. Chicks were selected randomly and were weighed and had their flipper length measured to calculate a chick condition index which is comparable between years and between the rookeries. Feeding frequency and reproductive effort was determined from chick feeding observations.

How much does it cost to claim against an estate?
In Queensland, there was a perception for a long time that the estate covered the costs for both the successful and unsuccessful parties when claiming against the estate. This is not necessarily the case.
In most instances, the estate covers the costs of the successful party, and in some cases, the unsuccessful party has to pay the legal costs to the estate, but this isn't always the case. In Queensland, the issue of costs is at the discretion of the court. The Court will often discourage a claim if it feels the estate is too small and encourages it to be settled out of court. This prevents the estate from being eroded by legal fees, which can happen if the matter needs to be settled in the court system.
Recent cases in Queensland have seen The Court take the conduct of the claimant into consideration when awarding costs rather than just whether they were successful or not.
It is important to follow the correct process when claiming against an estate. If you have further questions on how to make a claim against an estate click here.
We provide a detailed analysis of your claim before commencing proceedings, so you are fully aware of your legal position and potential costs involved. If you would like more information on this important subject, please contact us.


text: In this research article, a novel and green deep eutectic solvent-based microextraction (DES-ME) procedure based on chemometric-assisted (CA) optimization was developed for the extraction of caffeine in foods and beverages prior to its spectrophotometric determination. Ultrasound was used to accelerate the extraction of caffeine. Deep eutectic solvents (DES), prepared in an ultrasonic bath at 20-60 min for 60-80 degrees C, were used as extraction solvents. The important experimental variables (pH, DES amount, temperature, sonication time and metal concentration) were modelled and optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD). Under the optimum conditions, the proposed method allowed the determination of caffeine with limits of detection (LOD, 3s(blank)/m) and quantification (LOQ, 3s(blank)/m) of 7.5 and 25.0 mu g L-1, respectively. For 40 mu g L-1 and 100 mu g L-1 of caffeine (n = 5), relative standard deviations (RSDs%) and recoveries% were 1.2-1.6% and 96.7-98.2%, respectively. Validation studies (accuracy, precision, trueness, reliability and selectivity) of the method were performed before the analysis of real samples. The results showed that the combination of the CCD with the DES-ME can be considered as a new perspective for the extraction and determination of caffeine in foods and beverages.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
I am trying to understand why the order of the stabilizer group of a body diagonal of a cube is 6 rather than 3. It is clear to me that rotations about that diagonal stabilize the diagonal, by definition, and the order of this group is 3 (including the identity). So that means there must be 3 other, non-identity, rotations that stabilize this diagonal. I am terrible at geometry and I cannot think of what these others would be. I don't think that any of the rotations about $i$, $j$, $k$ can stabilize the diagonal, and I can't see 3 elements of order 2 doing this either. But then there are no elements left to consider! I am confused.
share|improve this question
There is a "swap the poles" symmetry (180 degree rotation that swaps the two ends of the body diagonal), and if you allow reflections, the "inversion" should also work. (A good answer should have a picture too :-) – Jack Schmidt Oct 17 '12 at 19:29
have you considered rotary reflections? – user39280 Oct 17 '12 at 19:32
_USER_ and dado, does the "swap the poles" symmetry correspond to a "double-rotation" about the $i$, $j$, and $k$ axis (st order of these guys is 2)? Or am I misunderstanding you? – tacos_tacos_tacos Oct 17 '12 at 20:17
_USER_: $(i,j,k) \mapsto (-j,-i,-k)$ or $a\mathbf{i}+b\mathbf{j} +c\mathbf{k} \mapsto -b\mathbf{i}-a\mathbf{j}-c\mathbf{k}$ is the rotation in terms of the coordinates. The cube itself is all $(a,b,c)=a\mathbf{i}+b\mathbf{j} +c\mathbf{k}$ such that $|a| \leq 1$, $|b|\leq 1$, $|c|\leq 1$. I still think a good answer deserves a picture, but if no-one will post one, I'll write up the linear algebra version. – Jack Schmidt Oct 17 '12 at 23:38

Update Data
DevExtreme DataSource
DevExtreme Data Layer components can perform two types of data operations: shaping (sorting, filtering, grouping) and modification (creation, update, deletion).
Data Shaping
Data shaping is implemented by the DataSource component and its methods. To call them, get a DataSource instance from your UI component using the getDataSource() method. Alternatively, you can use a standalone instance saved in a constant/component property when you created the DataSource.
The following code obtains a DataSource instance using both approaches and calls one of the data shaping methods—filter(filterExpr). Such methods only set up data shaping settings. To apply them, the load() method is called.
jQuery
index.js
$(function() {
 var dataSource = new DevExpress.data.DataSource({
 // ...
 // DataSource is configured here
 // ...
 });
 // ===== or getting a DataSource from the UI component (DataGrid here) =====
 var dataSource = $("#dataGridContainer").dxDataGrid("getDataSource");
 // ===== applying a filter =====
 dataSource.filter(['age', '>', 18]);
 dataSource.load();
});
Angular
 - Using a standalone DataSource instance
 app.component.ts
 import { Component } from '@angular/core';
 import DataSource from 'devextreme/data/data_source';

 @Component({
 selector: 'app-root',
 templateUrl: './app.component.html',
 styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
 })
 export class AppComponent {
 dataSource: DataSource;
 constructor() {
 this.dataSource = new DataSource({
 // ...
 // DataSource is configured here
 // ...
 });
 }
 filter() {
 this.dataSource.filter(['age', '>', 18]);
 this.dataSource.load();
 }
 }
 - Getting a DataSource instance from the UI component (DataGrid here)
 app.component.ts
 import { Component } from '@angular/core';
 import { DxDataGridComponent } from 'devextreme-angular';

 @Component({
 selector: 'app-root',

 })
 export class AppComponent {
 @ViewChild(DxDataGridComponent, { static: false }) dataGrid: DxDataGridComponent;
 // Prior to Angular 8
 // @ViewChild(DxDataGridComponent) dataGrid: DxDataGridComponent;
 filter() {
 const dataSource = this.dataGrid.instance.getDataSource();
 dataSource.filter(['age', '>', 18]);
 dataSource.load();
 }
 }

 App.vue
 <template>
 <!-- ... -->
 </template>
 <script>

 - Using a standalone DataSource instance
 App.js
 import React from 'react';
 import DataSource from 'devextreme/data/data_source';

 const dataSource = new DataSource({
 // ...
 // DataSource is configured here
 // ...
 });

 class App extends React.Component {
 filter() {
 dataSource.filter(['age', '>', 18]);

 dataSource.load();
 }
 render() {
 return (
 <DataGrid ...
 ref={this.dataGridRef}>
 </DataGrid>
 );
 }
 }
 export default App;
Data Modification
Data modification is implemented by the store and its methods. To call them, you need a store instance that you can get using the DataSource's store() method.
Stores provide three data modification methods: insert(values), update(key, values), and remove(key). Use them to edit local and remote data. Call the DataSource's reload() method afterwards to update data in the DataSource.
jQuery
index.js
$(function() {
 var dataSource = new DevExpress.data.DataSource({
 // ...
 });
 var store = dataSource.store();
 store.insert({ id: 1, name: "John Doe" })
 .done(function (dataObj, key) {
 dataSource.reload();
 })
 .fail(function (error) { /* ... */ });
 store.update(1, { name: "John Smith" })
 .done(function (dataObj, key) {
 dataSource.reload();
 })
 .fail(function (error) { /* ... */ });
 store.remove(1)
 .done(function (key) {
 dataSource.reload();
 })
 .fail(function (error) { /* ... */ });
});

use select count(*) query first, this will give you total number of records. now you write java code to set limit accordingly. (count/m) int = x= number of full batches and count-x*m = rows for last batch.

The issue you have is more known as pagination.
And your problem is how many pages you can retrieve form a table?
You must know the pages count to use pagination.
To set page count, you need to execute pre-query that will have same FROM clause but only SELECT count(*) FROM.... This will give you always correct answer.
If you can not or do not want to use extra statement. Then you should as database for pages until the result is not empty. So you execute statement for page 1, paget 2,... page n until size of result is less then page size.
int pageSize = 100;
int page = 1;
do {
 currentPage = loadPage(page, pageSize);
} while(currentPage.size() == pageSize);
share|improve this answer
I suggest to use hibernate functions setFirstResult() and setMaxResults() to achieve your desired results e.g. below:
 Query query= session.createQuery("SELECT * from A");
 int resultSize = 100;
 List pagedResults = null;
 //use any approriate number for iterations or do a result count first to get the expected result size
 for(int m=0; ; m++){
 pagedResults = (List)query.setFirstResult(m*resultSize).setMaxResults((m+1)*resultSize).list();
 //do your processing
 if(pagedResults.isEmpty() || pagedResults.size()

Whiting Field to name auditorium for Vietnam hero
The Whiting Field Naval Air Station auditorium where hundreds of Navy, Marine and Coast Guard flight students receive their coveted flight wings every year is being named to honor former Whiting helicopter instructor and Medal of Honor recipient Navy Cmdr. Clyde Lassen.
Lassen, who died in 1994, flew his helicopter into North Vietnam and rescued two Navy pilots while taking enemy fire during the harrowing 1968 mission that led to his Medal of Honor recognition. He was the first Navy helicopter pilot to receive the nation's highest military honor for action in the Vietnam War.
A Whiting flight training building previously named for Lassen was heavily damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and had to be bulldozed, said Jay Cope, spokesman for the base.
Cope said base officials wanted to do something else to recognize Lassen, who became a helicopter training squadron commander at Whiting Field after his time in Vietnam.
"Every two weeks, the helicopter students who graduate from our program get their wings in a ceremony at the auditorium," Cope said. "We thought it was the appropriate place to honor him."
A display case in the auditorium lobby contains personal items donated to the base by Lassen's family. The display also includes audio recordings made of radio communications during Lassen's Medal of Honor mission.
According to Lassen's citation, the downed pilots ran out of flares used to indicate their location on the ground.
"When flare illumination was again lost, Lt. Lassen, fully aware of the dangers in clearly revealing his position to the enemy, turned on his landing lights and completed the landing. On this attempt, the survivors were able to make their way to the helicopter. En route to the coast he encountered and successfully evaded additional hostile antiaircraft fire and, with fuel for only 5 minutes of flight remaining, landed safely aboard USS Jouett," the citation stated.
Retired Navy Capt. Dick Catone was a longtime friend of Lassen's and a fellow Vietnam-era helicopter pilot.
Catone, who also served as a training wing commander at Whiting, plans to attend the auditorium dedication ceremony at the base Tuesday and speak about Lassen.
Catone said Lassen was a phenomenal pilot who was able to share what he learned in combat with hundreds of young flight students to better prepare them for what they might experience in their military careers.
"Clyde's philosophy was that he wanted to give each student the opportunity to reach their pinnacle," Catone said. "You don't want to scare the students, but you want them to know why we are training. You never know what you might have to do; you are a warrior, you are going into harm's way, and you have to be prepared as best you can."
Lassen's Medal of Honor mission is an example of making quick decisions, finding solutions to problems and accepting risks to save others, he said.
"He was flying an old, single-engine helicopter. He was out there in the middle of the night for the sole purpose of rescuing the aviators. When he put on his landing lights it made him a great big target, but he was able to do the rescue," Catone said.
"He is a hero to many of us."
Tuesday's dedication ceremony at Whiting Field is not open to the general public.

The charted position of a wreck buoy will usually be offset from the actual geographic position so that the wreck and buoy symbols do not coincide. Only on the largest scale chart will the actual and charted positions of both wreck and buoy be the same. Where they might overlap, it is the wreck symbol which occupies the exact charted position and the buoy symbol which is offset.
Wreck buoys are required to be placed by the owner of the wreck, but they may be placed by the Coast Guard if the owner is unable to comply with this requirement. In general, privately placed aids are not as reliable as Coast Guard aids.
Sunken wrecks are sometimes moved away from their buoys by storms, currents, freshets, or other causes. Just as shoals may shift away from the buoys placed to mark them, wrecks may shift away from wreck buoys.

What's the dollar value of wild salmon produced by the Tongass and the Chugach?
Alaska's Tongass and Chugach National Forests provide many different things to the people who rely on them for food, recreation or a living, but because the forests work for free, the value of the services they provide is sometimes hard to recognize. As part of a growing movement to figure out the dollar value of those forest "products," however, scientists for the first time have estimated the value of the Tongass and the Chugach National Forests to Alaska's commercial salmon industry.

Guide to Dealing with Tree Roots
Tree roots make up the integral foundation of all trees. Without them, trees would not grow straight up or withstand strong winds and poor weather. Roots keep trees anchored, creating a vast underground network of support.
Roots are essential in many ways, but when they become overgrown, they can get in the way, cause a safety hazard, and make it hard to keep up with your landscaping.
If you have overgrown or exposed tree roots on your Calgary, Alberta, property, it's possible to remove them without harming the tree. However, it takes careful technique and timing to avoid damaging the tree or even killing it altogether.
Take control of your tree roots! In this article, we're sharing everything you need to know about the risks of overgrown roots, what causes them, and the various removal methods.
Risks of Overgrown Tree Roots
In Calgary, overgrown tree roots can do more harm than good. While large, exposed roots surrounding a tree aren't a danger in and of themselves, their proximity to other structures and high-traffic areas can make them a nuisance or even a danger.
Some of the most pressing risks of overgrown roots include:
- Roots growing under foundation – These will grow thicker and can eventually damage the foundation, compromising the integrity of the building.
- Roots causing sidewalk/driveway cracking – Roots close to high traffic areas can ruin stonework, make unsightly cracks, and pose a risk for walkers or even cars.
- Roots as a safety hazard – Roots that grow above the ground can be a significant tripping hazard. They're often hard to see because of their color, and leaves open cover them up, making them even more dangerous.
- Roots hindering lawncare and landscaping – Thick roots that grow above ground can make it impossible to mow the lawn or landscape the area surrounding a tree.
However, not all roots come with these same risks. There are two main types of roots.
Types of Roots
The two kinds of roots you'll find underground are feeder roots and structural roots. Structural roots stabilize the tree and anchor it to its spot on the ground. They are usually sturdier and thicker. Feeder roots transfer nutrients and moisture from the soil back to the tree.
You can have exposed feeder roots and structural roots, but the most common kind of root to see exposed in Calgary, AB, is the structural root. They are typically larger and thicker, and they can grow out wide to provide a stable base for the tree.
What Causes Exposed Roots?
Exposed roots, also known as surface rooting, can be caused by a few different things.
- Poor soil quality – If the soil is not moist and compact, it's easier for thick tree roots to break through to the surface, especially in sandy, clay-based, or loose soil.
- Lack of oxygen – A lack of oxygen in the soil can cause tree roots to move toward the surface to capture more oxygen needed to keep the tree alive.
- Weather – Lots of rain, wind, or runoff can erode the soil and area around the tree, causing roots to become exposed.
- Lack of space – If a tree is planted where it does not have enough room to grow completely, like next to sidewalks, buildings, or streets, the roots may deflect to the surface to continue growing.
- High traffic – An area that's walked or trampled on a lot, the soil can become naturally eroded or packed down, exposing the roots.
Determining the cause of your overgrown or exposed roots can help determine the best way to remove them.
Removing Tree Roots
There are a few ways to remove tree roots from your Calgary property. The most common is to physically remove the trees by digging or cutting them out—or a combination of the two. The other option is treating the roots with chemicals to kill them.
Digging and Cutting Out Tree Roots
If you want to handle the job yourself without involving any harsh chemicals, you're looking at a major job of digging and cutting out the roots. It's the fastest yet most labor-intensive option you have.
To start digging out the roots, you're going to need a sharp spade and a root saw.
Find the root you want to cut, and trace it back to the base where it is growing from. Know that the larger the base, the more likely you are to damage the tree if you cut it. If it's somewhat small or smaller than the others, there shouldn't be any real problem.
Then, find the spot to start digging and cutting. This should be about three to five times the length of the tree's diameter. Mark this spot with spray paint so that you don't lose it.
Start digging out the soil around the root with the spade to expose as much root as possible. Pull out anything loose.
Then, using a root saw, cut the intact roots, cutting as far from the root ball as possible.
Then, use your spade or another tool to lift the roots out. Continue cutting any smaller roots in the area until you can remove the root ball.
Removing Roots with Chemicals
If you're not one for all the manual labor, there's a less intensive way to remove the tree roots using chemicals. This method is only recommended if you are trying to do away with stubborn roots left behind after cutting down a tree or removing the stump.
The first chemical you can use is glyphosate herbicide. Mix this with water in a 50/50 solution and saturate the outer ring of the stump with the solution, avoiding plants or nearby grass. Two weeks after, the roots should be dying off.
You can also use rock salt if you have more patience. It takes a few months to work, and a few applications are necessary to do it right. First, drill into the stump in several places and create holes a few inches deep. Drill holes in any exposed roots as well.
Then, fill these holes with rock salt, add water to fill, and repeat a few times each month. Eventually, this will suck out all water from the roots, causing them to die.
There's always a risk when removing tree roots in Calgary. If the tree is still living and you want to keep it that way, you should proceed with caution and only opt for the manual method of removing roots to keep the rest of the tree intact and safe from harm.
However, if you want to stay away from manual labor and have time to spare, a chemical option may better suit you. Or reach out to our team for a free estimate for stump removal services.

Hotchkiss receives funding from Swedish Research Council Formas
December 6, 2016
Dr. Erin Hotchkiss, an Assistant Professor of Freshwater Ecology in the Department of Biological Sciences, recently received funding for two grants from the Swedish Research Council Formas.
- Hotchkiss is a co-PI on the first grant: "Taking the pulse of Swedish rivers: Using metabolism to monitor ecosystem responses to environmental change".
- Project Goals: (1) determine how rates of ecosystem metabolism in Swedish rivers are shaped by regional climatic and anthropogenic gradients, (2) quantify the extent to which streams in the Swedish landscape degrade terrestrial organic carbon and contribute to greenhouse gas evasion, and (3) advance the use of metabolism as a tool for environmental monitoring programs.
- Hotchkiss is also a collaborator on a second grant: "Changing ice-cover regimes in a warmer climate: Effects on emissions and metabolism of carbon in northern aquatic ecosystems".
- Project Goals: (1) examine seasonal shifts in aquatic carbon metabolism, (2) assess how a shorter ice-covered period will affect whole-system productivity and aquatic CO2 and CH4 emissions on an annual scale, and (3) increase public awareness about climate change effects in northern aquatic ecosystems.
These grants will fund some of Erin's future research and provide exchange opportunities for students between Umeå and Blacksburg. For more information, including proposal summaries, visit the Hotchkiss Lab website: _URL_

&= \dfrac {Z^3}{a_0^3\pi} \int e^{\frac{-RZ\lambda}{a_0}} d \tau \end{align*} \]
 Look how \(R\) becomes part of the integral naturally when the coordinate system changes. There is no need to convert the spherical angles \(\phi_A\), \(\theta_A\), \(\phi_B\), and \(\theta_B\) into elliptical coordinates because they are not present in the original spherical integral, or in the wavefunctions.
 Put in the Jacobian and:
 \[\begin{align} S &= \int 1s_A 1s_B d\tau\ \\[4pt] &= \dfrac {Z^3}{a_0^3\pi} \dfrac{R^3}{8} \int_1^{\infty} \int_{-1}^1 \int_0^{2\pi} e^{\frac{-RZ\lambda}{a_0}} (\lambda^2 - \mu^2) \, d\lambda\, d\mu\, d\theta \\[4pt] & = \dfrac {Z^3}{a_0^3\pi} \dfrac{R^3}{8} \int_0^{2\pi} d\theta \left[ \int_1^{\infty} \int_{-1}^1 \lambda^2 e^{\frac{-RZ\lambda}{a_0}} \, d\lambda\, d\mu - \int_1^{\infty} \int_{-1}^1 \mu^2 e^{\frac{-RZ\lambda}{a_0}} \, d\lambda\, d\mu \right] \end{align} \nonumber \]
 Lets simplify this a little bit by noting that \(Z=1\) for hydrogen and evaluating the angular part.
 \[S = \int 1s_A 1s_B d\tau\ = \dfrac {1}{a_0^3} \dfrac{R^3}{4} \left[ \int_1^{\infty} \int_{-1}^1 \lambda^2 e^{\frac{-R\lambda}{a_0}} \, d\lambda\, d\mu - \int_1^{\infty} \int_{-1}^1 \mu^2 e^{\frac{-R\lambda}{a_0}} \, d\lambda\, d\mu \right] \nonumber \]
 Next the \(d\mu\) integrals
 \[S = \int 1s_A 1s_B d\tau\ = \dfrac {1}{a_0^3} \dfrac{R^3}{4} \left[ 2 \int_1^{\infty} \lambda^2 e^{\frac{-R\lambda}{a_0}} d\lambda - \dfrac{2}{3} \int_1^{\infty} e^{\frac{-R\lambda}{a_0}} d\lambda \right] \nonumber \]
 To finish we need the excellent integral
 \[\int_t^{\infty} z^n e^{-bz} = \dfrac{n!}{b^{n+1}} \left( 1 + bt + \dfrac{b^2t^2}{2!} + .... \dfrac{b^nt^n}{n!} \right) e^{-R/a_0} \nonumber \]
 where \(n = 0,1,2,3,4,... \) and \(b>0\).
 In our case \(n = 0 \) and \(2\) with \(t = 1\) and \(b = R/a_0\)
 \[S = \int 1s_A 1s_B d\tau\ = \dfrac {1}{a_0^3} \dfrac{R^3}{4} \left[ 2 \dfrac{2a_0^3}{R^3} e^{-R/a_0}\left(1 + \dfrac{R}{a_0} + \dfrac{R^2}{2a^2_0} \right) - \dfrac{2}{3} \dfrac{a_0}{R} e^{-R/a_0} \left( 1 \right) \right] \nonumber \]
 Distribute the constant out front
 \[S = \int 1s_A 1s_B d\tau\ = \left[ e^{-R/a_0} \left(1 + \dfrac{R}{a_0} + \dfrac{R^2}{2a^2_0} \right) - \dfrac {R^2}{6a_0^2} e^{-R/a_0} \right] \nonumber \]
 Pull out the exponent and ....
 \[S = \int 1s_A 1s_B d\tau\ = e^{-R/a_0}\left[ 1 + \dfrac{R}{a_0} + \dfrac{R^2}{2a^2_0} - \dfrac {R^2}{6a_0^2} \right] \nonumber \]
 And the answer is as expected (Equation \ref{eq1})
 \[S(R) = \int 1s_A 1s_B d\tau\ = e^{-R/a_0}\left[ 1 + \dfrac{R}{a_0} + \dfrac{R^2}{3a^2_0} \right] \nonumber \]

text: Abstract With the increasing use of ultra-hard abrasives and the introduction of more powerful and rigid machines, honing process is spreading its performances. In industrial honing of cylinder liners for internal combustion engines, the degree of penetration that Metallic Bonded Diamond (MBD) abrasive stones have experienced compared to conventional Vitrified Bonded Silicon Carbide (VBSC) tools is obvious. The long tool life of metal bonded diamond sticks is however balanced by its main role in producing torn and folded metal without cutting-effect finish. To simultaneously reduce folding and remove the stock with improved stone life, an experimental investigation is reported on the process variability in finish honing behavior due to stone inconsistency and nature of its properties. We consider the achievable performances by finish honing of cast iron liners with a new abrasive stone. This superabrasive consists of micro-sized diamond abrasives which are bonded with vitrified bond (VBD). By selection of finer grit abrasive while honing with VBD tool, conditions could be created that gave a cutting-effect finish to the diamond honing and minimized the folding over.

Order: lactulose 20 g PO tid for hepatic encephalopathy On hand: lactulose 10 g/15 mL How many oz will you give? 26
Expert solution paper
Answer. 1.
Ordered phenobarbital gr 1/2 PO.
Available drug concentration = 20 mg / 5 ml.
1 grain = 64.799 mg
1/2 grain = 64.799 mg per grain ✖ 1/2 grain.
1/2 grain = 32.39 mg.
Formula for required volume = desire drug dose / available drug concentration ✖ quantity.
Required volume = 32.39 mg / 20 mg ✖ 5 ml.
Required volume = 1.619 ✖ 5 ml
Required volume = 8.09 ml
Answer is 8.09 ml.
Answer. 2.
Ordered zantac = 0.15 gm
Available drug concentration = 15 mg / ml.
1 gm = 1000 mg.
0.15 gm = 0.15 gm ✖ 1000 mg / gm = 150 mg.
Formula for required volume = desire drug dose / available drug concentration ✖ quantity.
Required volume = 150 mg / 15 mg ✖ 1 ml.
Required volume = 10 ✖ 1 ml.
Required volume = 10 ml.
1 tsp = 5 ml.
Total tsp in 10 ml = 10 ml / 5 ml per tsp = 2 tsp.
Answer is 2 tsp.
Answer. 3.
Dilaudid = 3 mg.
Available drug concentration = 1 mg / ml
Formula for required volume = desire drug dose / available drug concentration ✖ quantity.
Required volume = 3 mg / 1 mg ✖ 1 ml.
Required volume = 3 ✖ 1 ml
Required volume = 3 ml.
Answer.
Ordered lactulose = 20 gm
Available drug concentration = 10 gm / 15 ml.
Formula for required volume = desire drug dose / available drug concentration ✖ quantity.
Required volume = 20 gm / 10 gm ✖ 15 ml.
Required volume = 2 ✖ 15 ml.
Required volume = 30 ml
1 oz = 30 ml
So patient required 1 oz.

Evaluation-oriented software architecture modeling and user behavior analysis model
The University of Auckland
Wednesday 18 October 2006, 4-5 pm
School of IT Building, Lecture Theatre 123, Level 1
Software architecture design decides the quality of future product. How to choose suitable frameworks (such as middleware) and architectural styles is challenging. Our research shows that architecture modeling and automated architecture performance evaluation are essential and achievable at early stage of SDLC. MaramaMTE project (based on ArgoMTE project) is an environment for architects to model architecture designs, generate evaluation (mainly performance evaluation) test bed, and get evaluation results instantly. Architects can then choose the most suitable architecture for the next stage of software development life cycle. MaramaMTE project also supports user behavior analysis modeling, which generates complicated testing plan for load testing, currently, web load testing. The integration of MaramaMTE with complicated user behavior analysis model and other possible models makes MaramaMTE a comprehensive environment for software architecture modeling and evaluation.
Rainbow Cai holds Undergraduate diploma, postgraduate diploma, and master of science degree (with honors), all in Computer Science, from the University of Auckland.

Why do kissing gouramis kiss each other? Does this signify that I have a pair?
It seems most likely that this strange kissing ritual has actually
evolved as a way of settling disputes, without the fish having
resorting to more aggressive behaviour, rather than as a sign of
affection. It could be a trial of strength. Kissing gouramis (Helostoma temminckii

Steps to Detect Damage in Welding Curtains
HOW TO SPOT A BROKEN WELDING CURTAIN
7/16/20240 Comments
Welding curtains play a crucial role in ensuring safety in workplaces where welding takes place. These curtains protect workers and bystanders from the hazards associated with welding, such as sparks, spatter, and harmful UV light. However, like any other protective equipment, welding curtains can become damaged over time. Knowing how to spot a broken welding curtain is essential to maintain a safe and efficient work environment. This post will discuss the signs of damage, steps to detect such damage, and the importance of using undamaged welding curtains.
Welding Curtains
Welding curtains are specially designed barriers made from flame-resistant and durable materials. They are used to create a protective enclosure around welding areas, shielding workers and equipment from welding sparks and intense light. These curtains are commonly found in manufacturing plants, workshops, and construction sites. The primary benefits of welding curtains include enhancing workplace safety by preventing accidents and maintaining a clean and organised work area.
Why Welding Curtains are Essential
The importance of welding curtains cannot be overstated. They provide a vital layer of protection against various welding hazards. Without welding curtains, the risk of injury from sparks and spatter increases significantly. Additionally, the intense light produced during welding can cause severe eye damage. Welding curtains help to mitigate these risks, creating a safer environment for everyone in the vicinity.
Importance of Maintaining Undamaged Welding Curtains
Maintaining undamaged welding curtains is crucial for several reasons:
-Ensuring Workplace Safety
Undamaged welding curtains provide the best protection against welding hazards. They help prevent injuries from sparks, spatter, and harmful UV light, ensuring a safer work environment for everyone.
-Preventing Accidents and Injuries
By using welding curtains that are i

Abstract:
Biomedical properties of hydrogen water have been extensively investigated, but the effect of hydrogen on good healthy subjects remains unclear. This study was designed to explore the hygiene improvement by electrolytically generated hydrogen warm water (40°C) on capillary blood streams, skin moisture, and keratin plugs in skin pores in normal good healthy subjects with their informed consents. Fingertip-capillary blood stream was estimated after hand-immersing in hydrogen warm water by videography using a CCD-based microscope, and the blood flow levels increased to about 120% versus normal warm water, after 60 minutes of the hand-immersing termination. Skin moisture of subjects was assessed using an electro-conductivity-based skin moisture meter. Immediately after taking a bath filled with hydrogen warm water, the skin moisture increased by 5-10% as compared to before bathing, which was kept on for the 7-day test, but indistinct, because of lower solubility of hydrogen in 'warm' water than in room-temperature water. Cleansing of keratin plugs in skin-pores was assessed by stereoscopic microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. After hydrogen warm water bathing, the numbers of cleansed keratin plugs also increased on cheek of subjects 2.30- to 4.47-fold as many as the control for normal warm water. And areas of cleansed keratin plugs in the cheeks increased about 1.3-fold as much as the control. More marked improvements were observed on cheeks than on nostrils. Hydrogen warm water may thoroughly cleanse even keratin-plugs of residual amounts that could not be cleansed by normal warm water, through its permeability into wide-ranged portions of hair-pores, and promote the fingertip blood streams more markedly than merely through warmness due to normal warm water.

Tiger nuts are very popular in Nigeria and in countries like Spain and Europe. Despite its name, tiger nut is not a nut but is actually the tuber of a plant that is known as yellow nutsedge. Tiger nuts can be eaten raw or cooked and can also be used to make tiger nut drink. Apart from the fact that tiger nuts have a delicious taste, eating them can do certain things in the body. According to Webmd, here are some health benefits of eating tiger nuts.
1) It manages allergy: An allergy is a disorder of the immune system that is usually caused by reactions to substance. Tiger nuts can help manage allergies by replacing foods that causes allergic reactions.
2) It can fight bacteria: According to studies, tiger nuts have antibacterial properties that can protect against bacteria like salmonella and E. coli.
3) It reliefs constipation: Constipation is when the intestines become filled with hardened faeces and this makes it difficult to pass stool. However, tiger nuts contains a high amount of dietary fiber that can improve digestion and also prevent constipation.


text: Chatter vibrations during machining operations are large-amplitude self-excited vibrations, which result in the loss of physical contact between the workpiece and the tool. This paper presents an electric contact sensor, which is used to detect the cutting and noncutting periods during the operation. The spectrum of the signal of the electric contact sensor is free from environmental noise and can be used to select the chatter frequencies as the boundary of stability is approached. The detection is automatic with the use of an analog phototransistor that helps the time-periodic sectioning of the measured signals. The presented approach makes chatter detection possible before harmful vibrations arise.

Croatia has introduced a number of reforms to contain pharmaceutical expenditure whilst increasing access to new medicines. These include new regulations and new ordinances in 2013 including the pricing of new medicines and lowering the price of generics. Describe changes in the 2013 ordinance for new and established medicines in Croatia and the potential savings to provide future guidance. Methods: Descriptive review of the new ordinances for pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceuticals and calculations of potential savings from the various initiatives. There were changes in the ordinance for the pricing of new medicines in Croatia including the order of reference priced countries. There were also changes in the pricing of biosimilars as well as comparator levels with other countries. Projections show that with the new ordinance, ambulatory care expenditure for the 54 product groups (internal reference price system) will be reduced by 9.64% (318.4 million kunas) and prices of new medicines lowered by 8 to 10% following changes in the order of referenced price countries. This paper demonstrates that changes in the reference pricing system can lead to considerable differences in overall reimbursed expenditure. In addition, European countries with smaller populations can be active with introducing a variety of measures to keep pharmaceutical expenditure under control whilst increasing access to new medicines. Further reforms will be needed to improve the quality of prescribing. It is also likely further ordinances will be needed to keep pharmaceutical expenditure under control.

Tactile memory: a haptic architectural approach is explored as a way of revitalizing the historic lime works in Olifantsfontein through the process of making ceramic works as an exhibitionist element
This dissertation explores the reactions that architectural experience can elicit, specifically by means of sensory stimulation. William J Mitchell associates sensory stimulation with the recollection of memories (2005:8), which causes an enhanced experience through a layering of different times/moments (the current moment and the remembered time). Time is an important factor in the exploration, and as such the research is focused on sites with layered historical narratives within the South African context. The art history and development of Olifantsfontein in Gauteng recently came to light with the publication of Olifantsfontein Potteries _PHONE_. The potteries were originally started by Cullinan as part of the Consolidated Rand Brick, Pottery and Lime Company (Conrand). Between 1895 and the late 1950's Conrand was the driving force behind the development of Olifantsfontein. The original site of Conrand has since been subdivided and developed, but the portion that housed the lime works remains undeveloped. Some reminders of the lime works remain on the site, albeit in a state of ruination. These include a lime quarry, a historic lime kiln and a cemetery. The proposed intervention aims to celebrate the history of Olifantsfontein through the development of ceramics studios and galleries on the aforementioned site. The proposed program alludes to the concept of haptic architecture as a stimulus for recollection. The enhancement of architectural experience is further explored by developing the process of ceramic making as an exhibitionist element to showcase the tactile quality of the program. For this purpose the aspects of ceramic making is examined and discussed.


How to specify which recording device to use with python sounddevice
I want to use the following function twice.
This function converts live audio input into a wav file.
For the first time, I use my pc built-in microphone and for the second run, I use my headphone's microphone that I plugged in before I run the code.
But when I tried my function it used only my headphone's microphone:
import sounddevice as sd
from import write
from playsound import playsound
def audio_to_wav(dst, device):
 converts live audio to wav file
 :param dst: destination wav file
 # Sample rate:
 fs = 4410
 # Duration of recording:
 seconds = 5
 myrecording = sd.rec(int(seconds * fs), samplerate=fs, channels=2, device=device)
 # Wait until recording is finished:
 # Save as WAV file:
 write(dst, fs, myrecording)
In my main I called this function twice:
def main():
 # transfer mic1 audio to wav:
 audio_to_wav("file1.wav", 0)
 # transfer mic2 audio to wav:
 audio_to_wav("file2.wav", 1)
 # play the wav files audio:
But when i ran this code the function used only the headphone's microphone.
How can I use both my pc built-in microphone and my headphone's microphone at the same time?
The problem was that in the audio manager (in my case it's Realtek audio manager), the recording device advance settings were set to "Tie up same type of input jacks…".
When I changed it to "Separate all input jacks as independent input devices" it fixed the problem.

The city of Coos Bay has drafted an ordinance to allow wind turbines in town.
The World of Coos Bay reports that turbines have been under a moratorium, but the city plans to take public comment in early 2013.
The draft ordinance would allow turbines no higher than 70 feet - industrial wind turbines are more than 250 feet.
For large turbines, residents would have to show that noise would be minimal, viewsheds would not be disturbed and that the device would meet tough safety standards. Restrictions would be reduced for smaller devices.
An Oregon State University expert tells the paper that urban settings aren't generally favorable for turbines: Both wind speed and elevation are low.

Utah environmental legal requirements are generally found in three places:
Statutes are laws passed by the Utah Legislature and, usually, signed by the Governor. Utah statutes usually provide general guidance about control of pollutants and about how DEQ should implement a program. The activities of each division are governed by at least one statute. The work of the Division of Water Quality, for example, is governed by the Utah Water Quality Act, Utah Code Annotated Sec. 19-5-101 through 124. References to sections of Utah statutes will look like one of the following:
- Utah Code Annotated Sec. 19-2-114
- Utah Air Conservation Act Sec. 19-2-114
- Utah Air Conservation Act, Sec. 114
Utah environmental statutes may be found on the Utah State Legislature's Website.
Rules are laws created by agencies, using authority given to them by statutes. Rules are usually more specific than statutes. References to sections of Utah rules will look like one of the following:
- Utah Admin. Code R315-8-6
- Solid and Hazardous Waste Rules, R315-8-6
Utah environmental rules may be found on the Division of Administrative Rules Website.
To make rules, an agency must have authority under its governing statute and must follow the procedures in the Utah Rulemaking Act, found on the Utah State Legislature's Website.
Licenses and Permits
Licenses and permits contain requirements that bind licensees and permittees. These documents may sometimes be found online; any license or permit is also available for review at DEQ. If you'd like to review a license or permit, it is very helpful to call the agency before coming in.

Ancient Mean Curvature Flows and their Spacetime Tracks. (arXiv:1901.05481v1 [math.DG])
来源于:arXiv
We study properly immersed ancient solutions of the codimension one mean curvature flow in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, and classify the convex hulls of the subsets of space reached by any such flow. In particular, it follows that any compact convex ancient mean curvature flow can only have a slab, a halfspace or all of space as the closure of its set of reach. The proof proceeds via a bi-halfspace theorem (also known as a wedge theorem) for ancient solutions derived from a parabolic Omori-Yau maximum principle for ancient mean curvature flows. 查看全文>>

1) Send normal email containing attachment to users. - Is it possible to send email from lotusscript when mailbox resides on microsoft exchange server? Any other solution.
2) Send email with buttons to approve or reject - How will it be done through Lotus notes when mailbox is microsoft exchange? In case we do not migrate mailbox however our clients access outlook mailbox is it still possible to send email containing approval buttons etc?
3) Agents look up mailbox regularly to receive communication from backend - Is it possible to access Microsoft exchange mailbox from Lotus notes so that we can process incoming emails? Any other solution?

1 Answer
1) You first need to setup your Notes Domain to be able to forward to an Exchange domain. Microsoft provides some help here: _URL_
As you migrate users, you'll change their person documents to point to "Other Internet Mail", and include their Exchange email address, so the Notes environment knows how to reach them. Up to this point, this is something a Notes Administrator would handle if you have one at your company.
After that, you can send to any Notes user normally from LotusScript. Attachments go through fine.
2) Approval buttons are not feasible because they require some level of interactivity to be sent back to Notes. When you send an email from Notes to Exchange, you're sending it over SMTP and usually in an HTML format. It's the same as if you send an email from Notes to someone across the globe - as soon as it leaves the Notes domain, the email is converted to a MIME-based email and Notes-specific buttons, embedded objects, etc won't be converted.
As an alternative, you could send a link to the Notes database and have the users click that first, then open up the database to approve. That's very easy if your Notes database is on Domino and accessible via a browser. If it's a database that requires the Notes client, and you're on Windows, you can programmatically create links to the documents using the Notes:// URL scheme, which can easily be sent in an email.
3) This is a "it depends" answer. What are you trying to accomplish? If you're reacting to emails sent from an application, you could perhaps send two emails - one to a user, one to the database within Lotus Notes that needs to run an action. Or, you can set up rules from Exchange that send emails to Notes to trigger actions. If you absolutely must react to emails sent to Exchange, you should look into using Rules in Outlook/Exchange, and perhaps VBA to gain finer control of what actions occur.

On 25th August 2022, officials of Oita City in Japan announced that they will not give 15 wild Japanese macaques from Mt. Takasaki to an Uruguayan zoo as a diplomatic present to the country. It appears that the Uruguayan government has declined the controversial offer. Although they did not specify the reason, the city government concluded that "the Uruguayan side declined the donation for technical and financial reasons."
The plan to send the monkeys to a zoo in Durazno province was announced by Oita City in February 2022. This led to many people and organisations petitioning the government not to do it, including Asia for Animals Coalition and the Macaque Coalition. A representative of the city's tourism division said, "we are aware that the signature campaign is being conducted, so we wanted to proceed with caution under the Birds and Wildlife Protection Law while paying close attention to the maintenance of the habitat environment in Uruguay. We cancelled the plan as Uruguay declined to accept it." Japanese macaques naturally live in close family groups that span generations, so to separate any from their friends and families, and remove them from their natural habitat, sending them instead to live the remainder of their lives in captivity in a zoo, would be very cruel.
This is not the first time that the Japanese government has used its native wildlife as gifts to other countries. In 1977, the city donated 30 monkeys from Mt. Takasaki to a zoo in Rome, Italy. It is sad to see wild animals considered as commodities a country may just take from the wild and give to another country as a gift, like giving a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine. Even more, if the animals will end up confined their entire life in the enclosure of a zoo. Fortunately, in this case, it did not happen. Perhaps somebody in the government of Uruguay realised how wrong was this "gift", and how much accepting it would go against the country's nature conservation and ethics.


text: Sepsis remains a serious clinical problem despite intense efforts to improve survival. In this study, the efficacy of ertapenem combined with the cathelicidin tritrpticin was investigated in two rat models of septic shock. Main outcome measures were bacterial growth in blood, peritoneum, spleen, liver, and mesenteric lymph nodes; endotoxin, interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor α concentrations in plasma; and lethality. Adult male Wistar rats were given (1) an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg Escherichia coli serotype 0111:B4 LPS or (2) intra-abdominal sepsis induced via cecal ligation and puncture. For each model, all animals were randomized to receive intraperitoneally isotonic sodium chloride solution, 1 mg/kg tritrpticin, 15 mg/kg ertapenem, and 1 mg/kg tritrpticin combined with 15 mg/kg ertapenem. Each group included 20 animals. All compounds significantly reduced bacterial growth and lethality as compared with saline treatment. Treatment with tritrpticin resulted in significant decrease in plasma endotoxin and cytokine levels, whereas ertapenem exerted opposite effect. The combination between tritrpticin and ertapenem proved to be the most effective treatment in reducing all variables measured. In conclusion, tritrpticin enhances ertapenem efficacy in gram-negative septic shock rat models.
