Long Crested Weirsby Robert E. Walker, California Polytechnic State Univ, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Planning, Operation, Rehabilitation and Automation of Irrigation Water Delivery Systems
A method has been developed to integrate and evaluate the head relationship between canal weirs and turnouts. The objective is to minimize flow variations through the turnout and at the same time permit the canal flow to vary to meet the changing needs of the system. A step-by-step procedure is presented for the computations of the required length of a long crested weir. Using the long crested weir results in a more stable flow rate through the turnout with less labor. The benefit to the water user is that less labor is required to manage or control the water.

RTO vs RPO
RTO vs RPO
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) are important elements which guide major decisions when designing the architecture for a system but whats the difference between the two? Let's take a look.
RTO stands for Recovery Time Objective. If something goes wrong with the system, at which point, in the future, do we need to be back up and running again? E.g "< 1 hour".
RPO stands for Recovery Point Objective. If something goes wrong with the system, at which point, back in time, should we restore the system to? E.g. "previous day".

- If you use an item without the owner's permission, and then return it, does this count as theft if they never find out?
- If so, does the rule of num 5;7 come into play, and what if this has occurred multiple times, would multiple repayments be required for each unauthorized use?
- Using someone else's item without permission is a form of theft, even if the person doesn't find out about it. We are commanded by G-d not to steal, and therefore the person would have to repent, because he didn't listen to G-d's commandment. In retrospect, if the item was already used, and he owner was not negatively affected by his using the item, (it wasn't ruined in any way, and the owner wasn't inconvenienced by it, then we would not have to ask the owner forgiveness, since he wasn't negatively affected).
- Regarding Numbers 5:7 that is referring to when a person stole money etc. and swore that he didn't take it, which is not applicable to regular stealing.

Fluid Thread Patterns
Thin threads of fluids show how conveyor belt speeds control fluid pattern behavior in both experiments and models. A thin thread of viscous fluid (translucent threads at left) is poured onto a moving belt, creating a dazzling array of intricate patterns. Simulations (gold threads at right) reproduce this rich and complex behavior, confirming the accuracy of a theoretical model developed to describe the phenomenon.

The water in the reservoir has been climbing more quickly because a minimal amount of water is being allowed to pass through Cave Run Dam. Areas downstream are already dealing with high water and adding more water would cause more flooding. Instead, the water is held in the reservoir behind the dam until areas downstream start to dry out.
The current water level is far from the record set in 2012, when the water's elevation reached near 760 feet. That is about 19 feet higher than the level as of Tuesday evening. It took so long to empty the extra water in the reservoir that year, some campgrounds did not open until just before Independence Day.
Hiking trails are still open around Cave Run Lake, but they are extremely messy and muddy.

SYS(2010) - CONFIG.SYS File Settings
Returns the files setting in CONFIG.SYS.
SYS(2010)
Return Values
Character
Remarks
In FoxPro for MS-DOS, SYS(2010) returns as a character string the files setting in your CONFIG.SYS configuration file.
In Visual FoxPro, SYS(2010) always returns 255.
Most Config.sys files contain a line specifying the maximum number of files that can be opened at the same time under MS-DOS. This line usually reads FILES=NNN, where NNN is a number. SYS(2010) returns this number.
A Config.sys configuration file doesn't have to have a files setting; furthermore, you need not have a Config.sys file. SYS(2010) returns the default MS-DOS files setting in either case.
The number returned by SYS(2010) isn't the number of files you can open in Visual FoxPro, FoxPro for Windows, and FoxPro for MS-DOS. MS-DOS opens files for its own use. Visual FoxPro and FoxPro for Windows also open files for their own internal use, and the number of these open files can vary throughout a FoxPro session. The files setting in your Config.sys file must be somewhat greater than the number of files you would like to open in Visual FoxPro.
For more information on the Config.sys configuration file, see your MS-DOS manual.

This paper presents a combined experimental and numerical method to simulate the liquid flow in a packed bed. Two types of the experiments, i.e. liquid percolation without gas flow and liquid flow with gas cross flow, were conducted using a three- or two-dimensional cold model, respectively. A mathematical model has been proposed for the numerical simulation of the liquid flow. This model was developed using a force balance approach combined with stochastic considerations, in which the liquid flow was treated as a discrete phase with stochastic dispersion based on the experimental observations. Accordingly, the interactions between liquid and the packed bed, and liquid and gas have been experimentally investigated and then were used to determine the model parameters involved in the model. The behavior of the liquid flow in packed beds can numerically be simulated using the proposed model. A reasonable agreement has been achieved between the model predictions and the experimental measurements.

Spanish senior organisation warns about growing share of older people with disabilities & increasing loneliness
Photo europapress - from 65YMÁS
On the occasion of the 'International Day of Persons with Disabilities' last 3rd December 2019, the Spanish confederation of older people's organisations CEOMA warned, in an article for the Spanish magazine 65YMÁS, about an increasing number of older people with disabilities and in situation of loneliness and isolation in Spain.
Like in other EU countries, the Spanish population is getting older. To adapt to that situation, CEOMA asks for promoting and guaranteeing preventive actions that foster active and healthy ageing. They also call for allowing the assistance resources needed to guarantee adequate quality of life for people with disabilities.
There are currently 9 million older persons in Spain and around four million persons with disabilities, around 56% of whom are older persons. By 2050, the United Nations ranks Spain as the second oldest country in the world after Japan. For CEOMA, the ageing phenomenon can clearly not be ignored, neither can the link between ageing and disability. Accessibility will therefore be essential to ensure older persons' day-to-day participation in society and quality of life. Furthermore, implementing accessibility solutions would lead to more enjoyment of leisure time in older age, which would have a positive impact on the country's economy.
'At the same time, we must seek to make society aware of the need for a change in mentality towards older people with disability and the isolation experienced by many of them', further highlighted CEOMA. 'This is an issue that requires the involvement of everyone'.

Audio Description Performance
What is audio description?
Audio description is a verbal commentary that tells visually impaired theatre-goers what is happening on the stage during the parts of the performance where there is no dialogue (i.e. during fight scenes). The description does not interfere with the performance but fills in the gaps, describing facial expressions, costume, scenery and action sequences so that anyone with a sight problem can follow the plot fully and independently. Many visually impaired theatre-goers are enthusiastic about audio description.
How does audio description work?
The trained describer sits in a soundproof booth or box in the theatre and explains what is happening on the stage. Usually, the describer has seen the performance three or four times before and is well prepared to describe the performance. Visually impaired theatre-goers are equipped with a headset or earpiece before the performance and the description is relayed from the booth to the headset/ear-piece via an infrared or radio sound system.
Can theatre-goers sit in any seat in the theatre?
No, specific seats are allocated in the theatre, mostly in the Stalls or Dress Circle, so there is clear transmission between the describer and the headsets.


Creating a vault relationship from a destination SVM

How to Test a Lawn Mower Battery
By Jack S. Waverly ; Updated September 21, 2017
Testing a lawn mower battery is simple.
tondre le gazon image by fotogisÃ¨le from Fotolia.com
When your lawn mower doesn't start, it can caused by one of many minor or major problems. Most causes are minor, and the homeowner can repair them. One common problem is the battery not holding a charge. You can test and correct this problem in a few minutes with the proper tools.
Find the battery of the lawn mower. Look under the seat or behind the engine. Riding lawnmowers can have either option; push mower batteries are located to the rear of the engine if they have one. Check the owner's manual for exact placement of the battery for specific makes and models.
Clean the battery before testing. Use the rag to clean off any dirt or grime. Use the flathead screwdriver to scrape off any debris and corrosion on top of the battery, which will help ensure a clean connection between the multimeter and the battery.
Identify the type of battery. Find the brand name stamp or plate of the battery, which is usually on top or on one side. Find out what voltage the battery takes. Common battery voltages are 6-volt and 12-volt; most lawn mower batteries are 6-volt. The voltage for the specific battery is listed next to or below the brand name of the battery.
Set the battery charger to the correct voltage. The battery tester is called a multimeter; it has two settings, 6V and 12V on the dial. Set the multimeter to the correct voltage for your lawn mower battery. If your multimeter uses A/C and D/C settings, consult the owner's manual to set the tester to the proper volt setting; most lawn mowers use the 200-volt DC setting.
Position the cables. Use the pliers to unscrew the battery cables. Check the battery posts for debris and corrosion; clean off any corrosion with the flathead screwdriver by gently scraping between threads with the narrow edge of the screwdriver head. Put the red cable onto the positive post and the black cable onto the negetive post; the posts are marked with "+" for positive and "-" for negetive.
Read the gauge on the mulitmeter. If the voltage is correct, check all connections and fuses on the lawn mower. If the voltage exceeds or does not match specifications for the lawn mower, continue to the next step.
Examine the water level. Use the flathead screwdriver to pry the top of the cell case from the battery cell. Look at the water level at the top of the metal plates in the battery. Fill low water levels with distilled water to the proper levels. Put the caps back on. Reattach the battery to the multimeter, and recheck the voltage. If the battery still does not charge, continue to the next step.
Look for the fuse next to the battery. Remove the fuse, and replace it with a new fuse. Fuses burn up and can cause lawn mowers not to start.

Things You Will Need
 - Multimeter
 - Flathead screwdriver
 - Pliers
 - Rag
 - Distilled water

Solar Bottle Bulb in Philippines
Millions of poor homes in Philippines – and a lot more around the world – in the dark because the metal roof block all light and no connection to electricity in informal settlements.
A student of MIT found that one-liter plastic bottle filled with water and bleach and then mounted on a metal roof is a simple way to light homes that have no electrical connectivity or natural lighting. It was called Solar Bottle Bulb.
How to Make, How to Work and Spec of Solar Bottle Bulb
- Fill plastic bottles with water and bleach then capped; bleach works to make the water clear and also to prevent fungus or microbe.
- Make holes in the metal roofs, insert the bottle and then sealed to avoid leaks when it rains.
- Plastic bottles refract sun light and pushed into every corner of the home rather than to highlight one area like an ordinary lamp.
- Simple technology that can be installed in less than an hour, lasting for five years, and equivalent with 60-watt light bulb.
As part of their Solar Bottle Project, Isang Litrong Liwanag (A Liter of Light) organization has installed 10,000 of Solar Bottle Bulb throughout Manila.

From Ohio History Central
Marietta from Harmar Hill, by Charles Sullivan
Charles Sullivan was an important Ohio artist during the nineteenth century.
Born in Frankfort, Pennsylvania in 1794, Sullivan spent his youth in Pennsylvania. He began to study art in the 1810s. His most important teacher was Thomas Sully, an artist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sullivan later opened his own studio in Philadelphia. In 1827, he moved to what is now Wheeling, West Virginia and in 1833, to Marietta, Ohio.
In Wheeling and Marietta, Sullivan became especially well known for his landscapes. His river scenes focused mainly on the Ohio River. He also made a number of paintings of Indian earthworks, especially in the vicinity of Marietta. Sullivan's paintings of the Marietta Earthworks provide valuable information since many of the earthworks are no longer in existence.
Sullivan resided in Marietta for the remainder of his life. He died in 1867.
The Ohio Historical Society's Campus Martius Museum in Marietta, Ohio contains examples of Charles Sullivan's work.

Geert Jan Jansen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Geert Jan Jansen (born 1943) is a Dutch painter and art forger, who was arrested in 1994.
Geert Jan Jansen was born in Waalre in the Netherlands. His engineer father was fond of art and Jansen became an art student. He befriended a US art dealer, Michel Podulke, who ran a gallery called Mokum in Amsterdam.
Later, Jansen opened his own galleries, Jacob and Raam, but was not particularly successful. When his business went badly, he decided to sign posters of Karel Appel's lithographs and sell them as originals. Later, he made his first Karel Appel forgery and sold it for 2,600 guilders. Thus encouraged, he sent another forgery to London; auction house sent a photograph to Appel, who stated that it was genuine. The gouache was sold at a record price.
In 1981, Dutch police were informed about a forged Bart van der Leck painting. They searched Jansen's house in Edam but found nothing. They did find 76 forged Appel lithographs in the ceiling of a local warehouse, but charges were not pressed. Short of evidence, the attorney general cut a deal with Jansen: He would not be charged if he would not make forgeries for three years.
In 1988, Jansen released another batch of Appel paintings. When they were found to be forgeries, gallery owners blamed each other. In June 1988, police confiscated hundreds of Appel forgeries from the MAT gallery in Amsterdam. The owner of the gallery said that he had bought 100 Appel forgeries from the Tripple Tree Gallery, who had bought them from a dealer Henk Ernste in Paris. Ernste was later arrested but the case was settled with a 5.5 million guilder fine. During the furor, Jansen moved from the Netherlands to France with his mistress.
In March 1994, "Jan van den Bergen" came to the auction house Karl & Faber in Munich. He claimed to be an art dealer from Orléans and presented his business card. With him he had a Chagall drawing, an Asger Jorn gouache and a Karel Appel painting. The first two had written certificates of authenticity. He wanted them to be auctioned quickly and left in a hurry.
Expert Sue Cubitt of the auction house had the works examined. The Chagall certificate had a misprint and she became suspicious. Jan Nieuwenhuizen Segaar, a representative of Karel Appel, contacted the artist who said that work was his but Cubitt was still suspicious. The Chagall committee in Paris verified that the certificate was a forgery and therefore the drawing was also a forgery. A similar thing happened with the Asger Jorn certificate. The auction house decided to withdraw all the works from sale because it could not guarantee their authenticity. Sue Cubitt decided to inform Ernst Schöller of the Stuttgart Fine Art and Antiquities squad.
When Sue Cubitt and the police checked other auction catalogues, they noticed that similar works of art had been offered for sale and discovered Van den Bergen had offered these and other works for sale in auction houses around Europe. When Schöller checked the Orléans gallery address, he found that it was a fake; there was a wine bottle company at that address.
The trail of false addresses companies led Schöller and the French police to a farm in La Chaux near Poitiers. Jansen - who had used the name Van den Bergen - and his associate were arrested May 6, 1994.
When police investigated the farm, they found 1600 forged artworks. Forged artists included Cocteau, Dufy, Ferdinand Erfmann, Charles Eyck, Leo Gestel, Bart van der Leck, Matisse, Miró and the most popular target of forgery, Picasso.
French police had few leads and their appeal through the media brought no reports of forgery. Six years later, they checked the auction records of a Drouot gallery where Jansen had traded most of his forgeries through a number of different false names. They confiscated some suspicious paintings and threatened their buyers with complicity in the crime if they did not press charges against Jansen.
Jansen went on trial in September 2000 in Orléans. By that time, the police had thousands of forgeries. During the trial Jansen's lawyer demanded that the works not to be destroyed in case there were real works among them. However, most of the charges were later dropped - two of the buyers disappeared - and only two remained.
Eventually Jansen was sentenced to one year imprisonment and four additional years suspended sentence. He was exiled from France for three years. All of his works were to be destroyed. Jansen planned to appeal.

TRIVIAL PURSUITS: What is the difference between a green olive and a black olive?
One may think that green and black olives are two different fruits (or vegetables?).
First of all, according to the Oxford dictionary, an olive, just like a plum or a cherry, is a fruit. The olive is the small, bitter-tasting fruit of the olive tree, Olea europea. Olives are classified as fruit because they're formed from the ovary of the olive flower, and they're seed-bearing structures—the pits could grow into trees if you planted them. In culinary terms, however, olives are like those other fruit, tomatoes, and are treated as a vegetable.
Green olives are not from a different tree than black olives, they are just picked before they are ripe.

i encountered the following question during nclex review:
the best action to establish correct placement of a gastric tube is for the nurse to
a) aspirate for the color and ph test b) inject air while listening for the gastric gurgle c) check the results of the x-ray results of tube placement d) measure the residual volume then reinsert the aspirate
you chose:c)check the results of the x-ray results of tube placement
the correct answer is a: aspirate for the color and ph test. all of the options are safe actions. however checking the color and ph are the best actions for verification of tube placement.
i selected xray, because visualization is the best confirmation is it not? i consulted my saunders review book and it states that the most reliable method of placement confirmation is xray after initial placement. thereafter, aspiration and ph test should be used to check placement most accurately.
okay, am i missing something in this question? i was taught not to assume, but am i supposed to assume that this is after initial placement, or that the xray results are not from a current xray but from the initial placement?
the question asked best action of the nurse, the only way that i would be able to understand why this answer is correct is if checking the results of an xray is not an action of the nurse. how would you answer this question for nclex purposes, a or c, and if you could please explain your thinking.
thanks to all who answer!

Afghanistan is grappling with one of the worst droughts, food, and water shortage crises in decades, amid an unrivaled humanitarian catastrophe that looms large for millions of people across the country.
Prolonged drought across the country continues to impact the availability of and access to safe drinking water.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) tweeted on Sunday that the number of families in Afghanistan facing water scarcity has significantly increased.
According to an OCHA report analyzing the drought disaster between 2021 and 2023, climate change and fatal droughts across Afghanistan have left 79% of its population without sufficient water for their daily needs, including drinking and cooking.
The findings of the report further show that 64 percent of households reported that they experienced drought in the last six months, resulting in an economic shock that has left a devastating effect on food security and family coping mechanisms. While the current food crisis is perpetuated by a concurrent climate crisis, as 30 out of 34 provinces in Afghanistan report extremely low water quality.

The pressure difference between the boiling film and condensing surface is the driven force of stem flow, and the minimum pressure will cause the flowing of steam. Under the 1mbar, the operation requires the boiling surface and condensing surface have the shortest distance. The evaporator manufactured based on the principle is called short-path distillation. The short-path distillation (molecular distillation) is equipped with a inside condenser which is opposite to the heating surface, and make the operation pressure reduce to under 0.001mbar. Its relative low boiling temperature is very suitable to the material with heat sensitive and high boiling point.

As a result, they end up overstocking. This can also lead to substantial financial losses. Therefore, it is necessary to know how to avoid it.
Overstocking occurs when you order more items for sale than you need. It gets left behind on the shelf. As a result, overstocking locks up what storage space you have.
It leaves your inventory worthless.
Overstocking is a primary concern for e-commerce retailers, costing them a lot of money.
It is essential to learn about the disadvantages of overstocking.
Difference Between Overstock and Understock
Before learning more about overstocking, it is essential to understand all the terms clearly.
Overstocking refers to the purchase of excess items. In other words, overstocking is when an e-commerce business buys more than it can sell.
Understocking means when a business buys less than the necessary limit. As a result, they go out of stock.
This, in turn, affects their sales.
No matter the scenario, it hampers the business and leads to financial losses.
Drawbacks of Overstocking
Here are the major shortcomings of overstocking:
1. More Funds Required
The major drawback is that you must spend a lot to ensure surplus stock stays in good shape. This can help avoid further financial losses.
2. Warehouse Costs
They have to take care of the warehouse costs as well. They also have to handle the human resources that go into running it. It is also a massive waste of space.
That space could be used for storing products that sell well in the market.
3. Blocks Inventory Capital
It is an undeniable fact that stocking inventory blocks working capital. In other words, the money you spend on inventory will only return if you sell the product.
4. Expiry Date
When the product has an expiration date, you will ultimately lose it too. If you sell the product on time, you will have to earn money for both the space and the product.
5. Lack of Space
The overstock stock will also block the introduction of new products due to lack of space. This is an issue that small companies or startups usually have to deal with more planning.
Why Do Businesses Overstock?
To understand why businesses overstock, looking at a few essential factors is essential.
These are as follows:
1. Fear of Going Out of Stock
The main reason is that businesses are afraid to run out of stock. It leads to such high costs that they react poorly out of fear and start overstocking.
2. Warehouse Mismanagement
Specific errors in management or warehouse management can cause overstocking. For example, a lack of visibility or expertise in inventory management can lead to such cases.
3. Profit Margins
A lack of understanding of inventory costs is another crucial reason. It means you need to learn about your sales and profit margins.
4. Bad Pricing Strategy
Certain products are in demand during a particular season. Businesses must strategically plan the amount they need for a specific season. It could be because they failed to sell it due to a lack of marketing.
It could also be an outcome of failing to price it adequately.
5. Poor Sales Prediction
Businesses that fail to predict the future demand for their product might face the same scenario. It is essential to look closely at sales numbers and order accordingly.
For example, businesses need small quantities when sales slow down.
6. Supply Chain Issues
Some businesses might think ahead and stock up to avoid supply chain issues. This could also lead to overstocking.
How to Avoid Overstocking?
To avoid overstocking, refer to the following points:
1. Plan Well
Businesses need to plan stock prices methodically and stock them up promptly. They can set aside a few extras for emergencies.
2. Use Inventory Management Software
They can opt for inventory management software to give them a glance at their inventory levels.
3. Use of Market Knowledge
They should be well aware of the effects of seasonal changes on their products.
4. Good Supply-Chain
Businesses must create supply chain resilience.
Hence, overstocking can cause a lot of harm to an e-commerce business. It will not only cost them a lot of money. It will also consume space, obstructing the storage of necessary items or sellable goods. Various factors lead to overstocking.
Similarly, for each reason, there is a solution. A business can prepare a proper storage structure and avoid any further financial loss by adhering to it.

John Sholto Douglas Queensberry, 8th marquess of
Queensberry, John Sholto Douglas, 8th marquess of, 1844–1900, British nobleman, originator of the code of rules that governs modern boxing. He served in the British army and navy and later was a member of (1872–80) the House of Lords as representative peer from Scotland. He is famous for drafting (1865), with the aid of John G. Chambers, the Queensberry rules for the sport of boxing. This code of rules, superseding the London prize-ring rules that had been introduced (1743) by Jack Broughton, contained the basic provisions that govern boxing today. The rules were gradually adopted in both Britain and the United States and by 1889 they were standardized. In 1895, objecting to the liaison between his son, Lord Alfred Douglas, and Oscar Wilde, Queensberry left an insulting letter to Wilde in a public place and was sued for libel by the writer. In this libel suit, which Wilde dropped, information was brought to light that led to the conviction of Wilde for immoral conduct.

1. When you poop into a toilet and turn around to admire your creation only to find nothing in the toilet bowl.
2. When your poop disappears into the depths of the toilet without being seen.
3. A poop where the only evidence of its existence is something you felt or heard. There is no concrete physical evidence to be found.
1. I like to take pictures of my turds and text them to my friend Trevor, when I stood up to snap a pic of my latest creation I was shocked to see I just encountered a ghost poop.
2. My Grandmother has a very old toilet that sits at a weird angle. The poop slides right down the drain, so 3 out of every 5 poops are ghost poops.

ERROR: MUST detected a deadlock, detailed information is available in the MUST output file. You should either investigate details with a debugger or abort, the operation of MUST will stop from now.
===============================
Analysis of MUST output files and MPI usage errors
MUST produces an MUST_Output.html file and a directory MUST_Output-files with additional html files. Copy the files to your local host, e.g.
marie@local$ scp -r dataport1.hpc.tu-dresden.de:/data/horse/ws/marie-must/{MUST_Output-files,MUST_Output.html}
and open the file MUST_Output.html using a webbrowser. Alternativly, you can open the html file with a firefox instance on the HPC sytems. This requires to forward the X11 support via SSH.
MUST detects all three MPI usage errors within this example:
 - A type mismatch
 - A send-send deadlock
 - A leaked datatype
The type mismatch is reported as follows:
MUST error
MUST also offers a detailed page for the type mismatch error.
MUST error
In order not to exceed the scope of this example, we do not explain the MPI usage errors in more details. Please, feel free to deep-dive into the error description provided in the official MUST documentation v1.7.2 (Sec. 4).
Further MPI Correctness Tools
Besides MUST, there exist further MPI correctness tools, these are:
 - Marmot (predecessor of MUST)
 - MPI checking library of the Intel Trace Collector
 - ISP (From Utah)
 - Umpire (predecessor of MUST)
ISP provides a more thorough deadlock detection as it investigates alternative execution paths, however its overhead is drastically higher as a result. Contact our support if you have a specific use cases that needs one of these tools.

How to judge a LED card is broken?
Visually observe whether there is a lack of components, damaged, if there is a short circuit chip burn through, whether by the lightning.
Judging from light, red light is power lamp, green light is a signal lamp.
The red light can be judged the card's power supply circuit is normal or not, the power supply under normal circumstances, can pull off the power of sending card, then observe if the green light has a very short time to flash; If it can flash, then can judge sending card's underlying program hasn't been lost.
Otherwise, the means to sending card was lost the underlying program, need repair.

Tackling Cancer Pain – A toolkit for patients and families was Highly Commended at the British Medical Association (BMA) Patient information awards 2016.
The reviewer said 'This resource is of an exceptionally high standard; the amount of effort that went into producing and reviewing it is clear. It's very well-presented, and contains a large amount of helpful information in a clear and easy to read way. This really is an excellent resource.'
The purpose of Tackling Cancer Pain is to provide evidence-based information and practical advice for patients and families about self-management of advanced cancer pain. The resource comprises a booklet in the form of a compact loose-leaf A5 ring binder with a DVD attached to the inside front cover. Both were designed on the basis of an extensive literature review and user involvement and produced with the input of professional film-makers and designers. The booklet and DVD contain essentially the same information but in different formats and are structured so that they can be used independently by patients or family members. They can also form the basis for one-to-one or group education or coaching from a health professional. Clear guidance is given in each chapter about how to use the information presented. Step-by-step tuition is provided on non-pharmacological pain relief measures such as relaxation and visualisation, and on how to initiate and conduct conversations about pain with health professionals.

The names chiseled onto city tenement building entrances are often pretty puzzling.
The typical tenement is more than 100 years old. With the original builders long-gone, who can explain where some of these names come from, and why they were chosen?
Like Novelty Court, on Driggs Avenue in Williamsburg. Actually, a little research turned up an explanation: this used to be the site of the Novelty Theater, according to Cinema Treasures, which disappeared from city directories by the 1920s.
A. Segal's (Secal's?) Apartments are also in Williamsburg. But who was A. Segal, and why did he put his first initial and last name on his building?
Blennerhasset sounds like Manhasset, a town in Long Island. I've never seen the name anywhere else but on this tenement near Columbia University.
Who was Frances, and how would she feel about the terrible shape the building named for her is in, on Lexington Avenue in East Harlem?

Home Market Effect Hypothesis in a Multi-Country World
AbstractThe home market effect (HME) is commonly defined as a more than proportional positive causation from demand to supply. Recent theoretical literature, however, shows that the traditional definition highlighted within two-country framework does not always survive in higher dimensional settings. This is because 'third' country effects (i.e. adjustments in foreign expenditures) may reverse the positive impact that an increase in domestic demand has on its production. As such, empirical implementations of the HME hypothesis are problematic. In this paper, we try to fill this gap by proposing a revised version of the HME test, robust to an arbitrary number of countries. Using Behrens et al. (2004), which extends Krugman (1980) model to a multi-country setting, we derive a theory-founded empirical specification that accounts for a complete geographical structure of demand and proximity incentives offered to firms when choosing location sites to set up production facilities. We estimate the evolution of production structure in the EU countries for 24 manufacturing sectors over _PHONE_. We find support for the presence of the HME in a number of industries. The results also emphasize the importance of countries access to foreign markets.

barahumi official video by nazir M. Ahmad (Sarkin Waka)
The song about the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II. In the song Nazir describes how Danmajen Kano Sanusi Lamido became Muhammadu Sanusi II Emir of Kano. 'Barahube' in this context is best understood by its use in the song. Nazir uses it to describe the Emir as the first among equals, a prince and Emir, blessed, favoured, highly educated, commands respect, overcomer, chosen by Allah among other. 'Barahube' seems to be an adjective that describes many things at once not as synonyms but as distinct features of any noun. Nazir uses 'Barahube' to describe how the Emir overcame opposition to ascend the throne of his fathers.

Creating thumbnail images using LS2J in LotusScript
Learn how to create thumbnail images in Lotus Domino using LS2J in LotusScript.
View member feedback to this tip.
This tip resolves a problem faced by many developers who code for the Web: how to create thumbnail images in Lotus Domino. Until I came up with this code, I either ended up with a solution that required manual steps or else I had to use an external program.
The code below uses LS2J to create thumbnail images in LotusScript. LotusScript does not natively have any methods for manipulating images, but Java does. LS2J (which is a part of Notes/Domino on the Win32 platform) makes it possible to expose Java functionality to LotusScript.
This tip employs an agent that is called in the WebQuerySave event of a Domino form. The agent, written in LotusScript, checks the document for image files, and if any are found, creates thumbnail files for them and attaches them to the document. You could create an agent for the Notes client that does the same thing. The central part of the agent is the line that calls the method that creates the thumbnail file. This method (thumbnailObject.ThumbnailThis in the code) receives four parameters:
 - The filename of the image that is to be used as the source for the thumbnail file.
 - The filename that the thumbnail image should have.
 - The maximum width of the thumbnail image.
 - The maximum height of the thumbnail image.
I have a form that holds a Body-field and an upload control to allow Web users to attach image files. The form has the following in the WebQuerySave event: @Command([ToolsRunMacro]; "SaveWeb")
In the database I have an agent with the following code:

_Shaded_Relief'. It's also possible to add a lot of features such as rivers, countries, coastlines, counties, etc. I plot countries and rivers. The argument 'zorder' specifies the order of the layering from 1 to n, where 1 is the bottom layer and n the top.
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
fig.set_size_inches([17.05,8.15])
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
# plot basemap, rivers and countries
m = basemap(llcrnrlat=19.5, urcrnrlat=26.0, llcrnrlon=99.6, urcrnr=107.5, resolution='h')
m.arcgisimage(service='World_Shaded_Relief')
m.drawrivers(color='dodgerblue',linewidth=1.0,zorder=1)
m.drawcountries(color='k',linewidth=1.25)
The above code makes the following image (it takes some time, since I'm using high resolution):
Now let's add a shaded outline of the Red River basin. To do this, you need a shapefile of the basin. The FAO provides a shapefile of major watersheds in the world, from which you can extract the watershed you're interested in using ArcGIS (see instructions here). In this shapefile, the Red River is labeled by its name in Vietnamese, 'Song Hong.' I chose not to draw the bounds of the basin in my map because it would be too busy with the country borders. Instead, I shaded the region gray (facecolor='0.33′) with a slightly darker border (edgecolor='0.5′) and slight transparency (alpha=0.5). To do that, I had to collect all of the patches associated with the shapefile (which I called 'Basin' when reading it in) that needed to be shaded.
from matplotlib.patches import Polygon
from matplotlib.collections import Patch Collection
# plot Red River basin
m.readshapefile('RedRiverBasin_WGS1984', 'Basin', drawbounds=False)
patches = []
for info, shape in zip(m.Basin_info, m.Basin):
 if info['OBJECTID'] == 1: # attribute in attribute table of shapefile
 patches.append(Polygon(np.array(shape), True))
ax.add_collection(PatchCollection(patches, facecolor='0.33', edgecolor='0.5', alpha=0.5))
This creates the following image:
Now let's add the locations of major dams and cities in the basin using 'scatter'. You could again do this by adding a shapefile, but I'm just going to add their locations manually, either by uploading their latitude and longitude coordinates from a .csv file or by passing them directly.
import numpy as np
# plot dams
damsLatLong = np.loadtxt('DamLocations.csv', delimiter=',', skiprows=1, usecols=[1,2])
x, y = m(damsLatLong[:,1], damLatLong[:,0]) # m(longitude, latitude)
m.scatter(x, y, c='k', s = 150, marker = '^')
# plot Hanoi
x, y = m(_PHONE_, 21.0278)
m.scatter(x, y, facecolor='darkred', edgecolor='darkred', s=150)
This makes the following image:
If we want to label the dams and cities, we can add text specifying where on the map we'd like them to be located. This may require some guess-and-check work to determine the best place (comment if you know a better way!). I temporarily added gridlines to the map to aid in this process using 'drawparallels' and 'drawmeridians'.
# label dams and Hanoi
plt.text(104.8, 21.0, 'Hoa Binh', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(104.0, 21.7, 'Son La', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(105.0, 21.95, 'Thac Ba', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(105.4, 22.55, 'Tuyen Quang', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(105.8, 21.2, 'Hanoi', fontsize=18, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
Now our map looks like this:
That looks nice, but it would be helpful to add some context as to where in the world the Red River basin is located. To illustrate this, we can create an inset of the greater geographical area by adding another set of axes with its own basemap. This one can be at a lower resolution.
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator import zoomed_inset_axes
# plot inset of greater geographic area
axins = zoomed_inset_axes(ax, 0.1, loc=1) # locations
axins.set_xlim(90, 115) # longitude boundaries of inset map
axins.set_ylim(8, 28) # latitude boundaries of inset map
# remove tick marks from inset axes
plt.xticks(visible=False)
plt.yticks(visible=False)
# add basemap to inset map
m2 = Basemap(llcrnrlat=8.0, urcrnclat=28.0, llcrnr=90.0, urcrnrlon=115.0, resolution='l', ax=axins)
m2.arcgisimage(service='World_Shaded_Relief')
m2.drawcountries(color='k', linewidth=0.5)
This image looks like this:
Now let's highlight a country of interest (Vietnam) in green and also add the Red River basin in light gray again.
# plot Vietnam green in inset
m2.readshapefile('VN_borders_only_WGS1984', 'Vietnam', drawbounds=False)
patches2 = []
for info, shape in zip(m2.Vietnam_info, m2.Vietnam):
 if info['Joiner'] == 1:
 patches2.append(Polygon(np.array(shape), True))
axins.add_collection(PatchCollection(patches2, facecolor='forestgreen', edgecolor='0.5', alpha=0.5))
# shade Red River basin gray in inset
axins.add_collection(PatchCollection(patches, faceolor='0.33', edgecolor='0.5', alpha=0.5)
Now our map looks like this:
Finally, let's label the countries in the inset. Some of the countries are too small to fit their name inside, so we'll have to create arrows pointing to them using 'annotate'. In this function, 'xy' specifies where the arrow points to and 'xytext' where the text is written relative to where the arrow points.
# label countries
plt.text(107.5, 25.5, 'China', fontsize=11, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(102.5, 20.2, 'China', fontsize=11, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(101.9, 15.5, 'China', fontsize=11, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
plt.text(9.5, 21.0, 'China', fontsize=11, ha='center', va='center', color='k')
# add arrows to label Vietnam and Cambodia
plt.annotate('Vietnam', xy=(108.0, 14.0), xycoords='data', xytext=(5.0, 20.0), textcoords='offset points', \
 color='k', arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle

The gravity in ZDoom works as normal in the Doom engine: it corresponds to a value which is added to a thing's vertical velocity linearly each tic. During the first tic of free fall, that value is added twice.
However, ZDoom offers multiple ways in which the gravity value is affected, instead of being a constant as in vanilla Doom. An actor's gravity factor is the product of the following factors:
- The level's overall gravity, as defined in MAPINFO with the gravity map property. Note that this value is set on a scale of 800.
- The sector's own gravity, as defined in UDMF with the gravity sector property and in Hexen format with the Static_Init special; possibly modified with Sector_SetGravity.
- The actor's own Gravity property in DECORATE, possibly modified through ACS with the APROP_Gravity property.
Internally, the default values are all 1.0, so a fall lasting one second (35 tics) gives an accumulated speed of 36 in the default conditions.
In addition, being underwater also affects gravity depending on the depth of immersion: a waterlevel of 1 divides it by 16; a waterlevel of 2 or 3 divides it by 8.
Although you are advised to use MAPINFO for it, level gravity can also be affected with FraggleScript with either gravity on a scale of 100 or with consolecmd gravity on a scale of 1.

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Water at the top of Niagara Falls has a temperature of 10.0degrees celsius. If it falls a distance of 50.0m and all of its potential energy goes into heating the water, calculate the temperature of the water at the bottom of the falls. 2. Relevant equations W = change in kinetic energy + change in potential energy 3. The attempt at a solution i know there's potential energy on top and none at the bottom. There's not kinetic energy at the top and there is at the bottom. But how do i put temperature into this equation???


Refreshing form parts
When using form parts in AX 2012, you sometimes need to explicitly refresh their data based on an event in the main form. It may not be completely obvious how to do it, but it's not too complicated in the end.
Form parts are actually forms by themselves and if you know how to manipulate forms at runtime, you know how to work with parts too. The tricky part it getting a reference to a form part.
One of possible solutions is adding the following method to SysSetupFormRun class (so it's available to all forms):
public FormRun getFormPartByName(str _name)
 PartList partList = new PartList(this);
 FormRun part;
 int i;
 for(i = 1; i <= partList.partCount(); i++)
 part = partList.getPartById(i);
 if ( == _name)
 return part;
 return null;
As you see, it iterates all parts in the form and finds a part with the given name.
Then you can call it from your form to get a reference to a particular part and do anything you like with it, such as refreshing the data:
public void refreshMyFactBox()
 SysSetupFormRun formRun = this as SysSetupFormRun;
 FormRun factBox = formRun.getFormPartByName('MyInfoPart');
 if (factBox)
Note that if it's a form part, you have to provide the name of the underlying form, such as:
FormRun factBox = formRun.getFormPartByName(formStr(MyFormPartForm));
 1. Very small typo.
 There's a double end parathesis in
 FormRun factBox = formRun.getFormPartByName('MyInfoPart'));
 There should only be one.
 Then it will compile. 🙂
 2. Hi Martin, can something like this be used to send eplicit data to a form part?
 Let me explain. I have created an InfoPart on the SalesTable form to display certain attributes for an item. The problem is, the infoPart data doesn't display on a new SalesLine entry until it's saved (obviously because the infoPart is reading from the SalesLine table and until I save the line, the data only exists in the table buffer). However we need the infoPart data to display immediately upon entry of the ItemId on the new SalesLine before it's been saved. I can use a display method in the SalesLine grid and it is able to use the TableBuffer data to populate. (The text is too long to reasonably display in the grid however)
 I've been looking for a solution to my problem when I came across your blog post here. Could I "push" a string from aSalesLine display method to appear in the InfoPart before the line is saved/inserted into the SalesLine table?
 Thanks for your time.
 3. Hi Martin, i am working with D365 and i need to add a resizing option between the grid and the form part of the Pending Vendor Invoices list page.
 I am not sure how since the standard list page does not give a resizing option.

Another step closer towards my New Zealand Geographic assignment on 'Life in tree-tops.'
A Rata tree usually germinates in the branches of a mature forest tree. Over centuries the young tree sends descending and girdling roots down and around the trunk of its host, eventually forming a massive, independent trunk composed of fused roots. Although called a "strangling hemiepiphyte", the rata in New Zealand is not thought to strangle its host but rather outlive it. This giant Northern Rata is estimated to be around 1 500 years old.
Many thanks to Paul Stanley Ward, Tim Park and Ninette Rowland for an amazing day full of adventure and for giving me the opportunity to photograph this awesome tree.

Cao Yin — From Policemen to Revolutionaries: A Sikh Diaspora in Global Shanghai, _PHONE_
December 4, 2018 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Speaker: Cao Yin, Tsinghua University
This talk will uncover the less-known story of Sikh emigrants in Shanghai in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It argues that the cross-border circulation of personnel and knowledge across the British colonial and the Sikh diasporic networks, facilitated the formation of the Sikh community in Shanghai, eventually making this Chinese city one of the overseas hubs of the Indian nationalist struggle. By adopting a translocal approach, this study elaborates on how the flow of Sikh emigrants, largely regarded as subalterns, initially strengthened but eventually unhinged British colonial rule in East and Southeast Asia.
Cao Yin is Associate Professor at the department of history, Tsinghua University. His research interest mainly covers modern India, the British Empire, and the Sino-Indian connections in the twentieth century. His is the author of From Policemen to Revolutionaries: A Sikh Diaspora in Global Shanghai _PHONE_ (Leiden: Brill, 2017). He is currently working on a book manuscript about how India became a chaotic home front for China during the second Sino-Japanese War (_PHONE_).

Sure, Jessie! The potential for a rubber plant to be poisonous depends upon which kind of plant it is. The term 'rubber plant' is used to represent a variety of different plants. This may be where your conflicting information comes from.
Certain rubber plants do have some toxic potential, depending upon the genus and species. For example, the Japanese rubber plant (Crassula arborescens) can potentially produce vomiting, depression and a loss of coordination. The ingestion of the rubber tree (Ficus elastica) and variegated rubber plant (Ficus honduras) can result in moderate gastrointestinal tract irritation. The baby or american rubber plant (Peperomia obutsifolia), along with many others of the genus Peperomia, is not considered to be toxic?although it can cause some mild stomach upset.

The new HTC One might not be the only smartphone to feature a dual-sensor camera. Apple Insider spotted a new Apple patent that suggests the company is looking into developing a dual-sensor camera, which splits capturing color from the actual exposure. While one sensor will specifically photograph colors in the scene another sensor focuses on luminance or the brightness data.
Together these two sensors would combine their data to produce a final image. From the sounds of it one of the camera's sensors would basically be monochromatic, which could help it see more shades of gray and different lighting details. Additionally the Apple patent says that the split design would allow for improved signal-to-noise ratio to improve image quality.
Despite the patent drawing depicts the camera on a MacBook, the patent also mentions this new arrangement could make the entire module thinner; allowing for slimmer bodied handsets such as the iPhone 6. It's an interesting concept that could help improve the quality of Apple's smartphone images even beyond iPhoneography. But for now the patent is just a patent, so we will have to wait and see if anything real comes out of it.

We have studied the electron emission characteristics of Mo field emitter arrays (FEA's) using a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film deposited by a layer-by-layer technique using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The turn-on voltage was lowered from 55 to 30 V by a 20-nm thick hydrogen-free DLC coating and maximum emission current was increased from 166 to 831 juA. Also the gate voltage required to get the anode current of 0.1 (juA/emitter) decreases from 77 to 48 V. Furthermore the emission current from DLC coated Mo FEA's is more stable than that of noncoated Mo FEA's.

|START Conference Manager|
This paper reports an exploratory reusability study of digital learning material. Materials from eight university professors and the corresponding interviews by chat were collected and analyzed from qualitative inquiry perspective and using grounded theory method. Sensitizing initial concepts from education, design, computer and information science were used in the initial approach to collect data, but the analysis results were rooted in actual material and chat texts. The research team was composed of three researchers and two assistants; group discussions led to the collection and analysis of data. The findings suggest that: (1) learning promotion, (2) access, (3) emotional appeal, (4) technical suitability, (5) effective graphical and textual communication, (6) creativity, (7) collaboration, and (8) subject authority are related to reusability. These categories offer the structural elements to design and implement digital learning material collections. The latter are the basis for knowledge management oriented systems aimed at sharing and preserving digital learning materials.
