This thesis will draw upon radio production, specifically community radio, to examine how the participation of the audience can empower participants and offer a voice to the voiceless. By embedding the values of community radio into community/rehabilitation projects, can radio improve lives for those participating in the production?
This research will explore what is meant by the term minority community, and how those within a minority community can be better represented through the medium of radio. Radio produced 'by the prisoner for the prisoner' is beginning to draw academic interest as a means to help prisoners with their rehabilitation process. This thesis will explore the nature of the media within minority communities, and will specifically examine how radio production can be used to connect with the more challenging to reach communities such as prisoners and patients within a high-secure hospital. Are prisoners a minority community? If so, what defines them as such? By focusing on one element of minority communities; those who are incarcerated, this body of work examines the broader implications for other minority communities.
It is necessary to examine the impact that radio has on the producer to analyse how radio can improve lives. By drawing on the theory and practice of media production, as well as the impact on participants, a conclusion can be made on how the lives of those involved are improved.
The DiGi DBT (Digital Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) project will act as a case study to test the theory that radio production can improve lives. Through an observational research approach, the project will look specifically at patients diagnosed with personality disorders, living in a high-secure hospital. By encouraging patients to engage with community radiobased projects, can they be empowered? If empowerment takes place, can this aid the patients' rehabilitation process?
DiGi DBT was initially a two-year project, funded by Knowledge Transformation Partnerships (KTP), which was later extended to three years. DiGi DBT was observed first-hand by the researcher and author of this thesis, while being employed as the Media and Therapy Developer responsible for leading the programme. The project saw the University of Lincoln and Rampton High Secure Hospital come together to use radio as a medium to help patients diagnosed with personality disorder redesign Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) for future patients through radio production. This thesis uses ethnographic, observational and qualitative research techniques to evaluate the success of the project, the project aims and how this project can be used as a case study to evidence how radio can improve lives in minority communities

Lambeth eye ointment pot inscribed "W. Singleton, Lambeth Butts", Spiers Collection, English, _PHONE_
The distinctive short rounded pot was the packaging for an ointment introduced in the 1700s. The ointment was made from a recipe dating from the late 1590s and passed down through the Singleton family by marriage. Painted on the side of the earthenware pot is the name "W Singleton", an obvious reference to the family who made the ointment at their home, in Lambeth Butts, in south London from 1784 to 1975.
Such pots were typical of the type of containers that were available at pharmacists of the period. Similar shaped pots were used until the product was discontinued, although the later ones were made from glass and plastic.

SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE REPORTING POLICY
Longwood University recognizes the importance of compliance with the Substantive Change for Accredited Institutions of the Commission on Colleges policy statement of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACSCOC, 2011), which requires the university to report all substantive changes accurately and in a timely manner to the Commission on Colleges (COC). This policy exists specifically to establish, clarify and communicate the requirement that all university changes deemed to be "substantive" must be approved by the President and Board of Visitors, with subsequent notification to and/or approval by the COC for the university's regional accrediting body, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
SACS accredits the university and its programs and services, wherever they are located or however they are delivered. The SACSCOC is recognized by the United States Department of Education as an agency whose accreditation enables its member institutions to seek eligibility to participate in federally funded programs. SACS requires accredited institutions to follow the substantive change procedures of the COC. In order to retain accreditation, the university is required to comply with SACS and COC procedures concerning substantive changes.
While the purpose of this policy is to document the approval and transmittal process to SACS, new, revised or discontinued degrees and establishment of distance learning sites may also require reporting and prior approval from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV). The requirements of both agencies must be met; compliance with one does not constitute compliance with the other. This policy is primarily designed to address academic programs and curricular issues; although other defined substantive changes are also covered.
Branch Campus: A location of an institution that is geographically apart and independent of the main campus of the institution. A location is independent of the main campus if
- The location is permanent in nature.
- The location offers courses in educational programs leading to a degree, certificate, or other recognized educational credential.
- The location has its own faculty and administrative or supervisory organization and has its own budgetary and hiring authority. Source: SACSCOC.
- Degree Completion Program: A program typically designed for a non-traditional undergraduate population such as working adults who have completed some college-level course work but have not achieved a baccalaureate degree. Students in such programs may transfer in credit from courses taken previously and may receive credit for experiential learning. Courses in degree completion programs are often offered in an accelerated format or meet during evening and weekend hours, or may be offered via distance learning technologies. Source: SACSCOC.
- Distance Education: A formal educational process in which the majority of the instruction (interaction between students and instructors and among students) in a course occurs when students and instructors are not in the same place. Instruction may be synchronous or asynchronous. A distance education course may use the internet; one-way and two-way transmissions through open broadcast, closed circuit, cable, microwave, broadband lines, fiber optics, satellite, or wireless communications devices; audio conferencing; or video cassettes, DVD's, and CD-ROMs if used as part of the distance learning course or program. Source: SACSCOC.
- Dual Degree: Separate program completion credentials each of which bears only the name, seal, and signature of the institution awarding the degree to the student. Source: SACSCOC.
- Educational Program: A coherent course of study leading to the awarding of a credential (i.e., a degree, diploma or certificate). Source: SACSCOC.
- Geographically Separate: An instructional site or branch campus that is located physically apart from the main campus of the institution. Source: SACSCOC.
- Joint Degree: A single program completion credential bearing the names, seals, and signatures of each of the two or more institutions awarding the degree to the student. Source: SACSCOC.
- Level: SACSCOC's taxonomy categorizes institutions by the highest degree offered. Longwood University is designated as a Level III institution because it offers the master's degree as the highest degree.
- Merger/Consolidation: SACSCOC defines a consolidation as the combination or transfer of the assets of at least two distinct institutions (corporations) to that of a newly-formed institution (corporation), and defines a merger as the acquisition by one institution of another institution's assets. For the purposes of accreditation, consolidations and mergers are considered substantive changes requiring review by the Commission on Colleges. (Examples include: a senior college acquiring a junior college, a degree-granting institution acquiring a non-degree-granting institution, two junior or senior colleges consolidating to form a new institution, or an institution accredited by the Commission on Colleges merging with a non-accredited institution). Source: SACSCOC.
- Notification: A letter from an institution's chief executive officer or his/her designated representative to the SACSCOC president to summarize a proposed change, provide the intended implementation date, and list the complete physical address, if the change involves the initiation of an off-campus site or branch campus. Source: SACSCOC.
- Procedure One: SACSCOC procedure associated with a substantive change that requires SACSCOC notification and approval prior to implementation. Changes under Procedure One require notification, a prospectus or application, and may involve an on-site visit. Source: SACSCOC.
- Procedure Two: SACSCOC procedure associated with a substantive change that requires SACSCOC notification prior to implementation. Source: SACSCOC.
- Procedure Three: SACSCOC procedure associated with approval of a consolidation/merger. Source: SACSCOC
Significant Departure: A program that is not closely related to previously approved programs at the institution or site or for the mode of delivery in question. To determine whether a new program is a significant departure, it is helpful to consider the following questions:
- What previously approved programs does the institution offer that are closely related to the new program and how are they related?
- Will significant additional equipment or facilities be needed?
- Will significant additional financial resources be needed?
- Will a significant number of new courses be required?
- Will a significant number of new faculty members be required?
- Will significant additional library/learning resources be needed?
- Will the CIP code change?
Source: SACSCOC, SCHEV.
Substantive Change: A significant modification or expansion of the nature and scope of an accredited institution. According to SACS, a substantive change includes:
- Any change in the established mission or objectives of the institution.
- Any change in legal status, form of control, or ownership of the institution.
- The addition of courses or programs that represent a significant departure, either in content or method of delivery, from those that were offered when the institution was last evaluated.
- The addition of courses or programs of study at a degree or credential level different from that which is included in the institution's current accreditation or reaffirmation.
- A change from clock hours to credit hours.
- A substantial increase in the number of clock or credit hours awarded for successful completion of a program.
- The establishment of an additional location geographically apart from the main campus at which the institution offers at least 50 percent of an educational program.
- The establishment of a branch campus.
- Closing a program, off-campus site, branch campus or institution.
- Entering into a collaborative academic arrangement such as a dual degree program or a joint degree program with another institution.
- Acquiring another institution or a program or location of another institution.
- Adding a permanent location at a site where the institution is conducting a teach-out program for a closed institution.
- Entering into a contract by which an entity not eligible for Title IV funding offers 25% or more of one or more of the accredited institution's programs
- Teach-Out: The process by which the university provides instructional and academic support services to students enrolled at a site that has been closed and/or in a program that has been discontinued. The teach-out process often extends well beyond the closing of a site or program to allow time for enrolled students to complete their programs in a reasonable amount of time.
- Teach-Out Agreement: A written agreement between institutions that provides for the equitable treatment of students and a reasonable opportunity for students to complete their program of study if an institution, or an institutional location that provides 50 percent or more of at least one program offered, ceases to operate before all enrolled students have completed their program of study. Such a teach-out agreement requires SACSCOC approval in advance of implementation. Source: SACSCOC.
This policy applies to all university officers who can initiate, review, approve and allocate resources to any changes, including those to academic and non-academic programs and activities that may be considered a substantive change according to SACSCOC Policy for Substantive Changes for Accredited Institutions. Within academic areas, such changes can originate with individuals or groups of faculty members, Department committees, Department Chairs, Deans and Associate Deans, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Faculty Senate, or any other area reporting to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
In those areas outside of Academic Affairs, potential substantive changes may arise in individual units, among supervisors in each area, executive management teams within Vice Presidential areas, or with the Vice Presidents or Cabinet. Further, the need for a potential substantive change may come to the attention of the President or those in his/her direct reporting line.
Each individual hereby designated is required to be familiar and comply with this policy.
As the University pursues structural and programmatic changes, all of those changes deemed to be "substantive" changes require approval by the President, Board of Visitors and the SACSCOC.
The University will follow the substantive change procedures of SACSCOC, and inform the SACSCOC of such changes and proposed changes in accord with those procedures. Regardless of the origination point, all substantive


Flint water documentary shown prior to debate
A documentary highlighting the Flint water crisis was shown at Woodside Church on Sunday prior to the evening's debate between Democratic presidential candidates.
The film follows the untold story of the activist role in exposing the lead in Flint's water, according to a participant featured in the documentary.
The Coalition for Clean Water banded together to conduct citizen testing and partnered with Marc Edwards of Virginia Tech, who helped discover the lead contamination.
The documentary talks about that process and kind of a history of Flint's switch from the Detroit water system to treating its own drinking water using the Flint River.
It also explains the role of Flint's emergency manager and the state's emergency manager law in the water crisis.

GNSS versus Lightning01/21/2024
Future space navigation technologies will rely on sensors that use natural phenomena instead of GNSS signals.
University of Wuerzburg researchers have devised a sensor that can work in similar form to GNSS receivers. The study, published this month in Results in Engineering, proposes to use lightning phenomena as a resource for space navigation, in particular for satellites around Earth. "Specific sensors embedded in satellites and tracking lightning phenomena, would allow computing relative navigation solutions for spacecraft constellations, at intersatellite distances of above 500 meters" according the study. In the future, this idea (and the sensor proposed) could be used for deep space exploration in planets where lightning events are known to exist, such as Venus, Jupiter, Saturn or Uranus. Future research will focus on developing the sensor and improve the Technological Readiness on space, in particular through a Cubesat mission.

I'm trying to find a way to get the text in a Visio shape to shrink to fit the width of the shape, otherwise leave the font at the default.
Is there a shapesheet function I can use to change the font size of the text so that it doesn't exceed the width of the shape?
Ultimately I'd like to be able to assign this when automatically building the shape using VBA, so if there's some way to get the width of text that way, maybe I can do that.

You can resize the font of the text block using automation if the text exceeds the size of the shape. I found that the following works.
Open the shape's shapesheet (Window->Show Shapesheet) and add the user section (Insert->Section->User-defined Cells). Put this formula in the value cell for User.Row_1:
After the shape text changes, get the value of the user cell. in c#:
double scale = shape.get_CellsSRC((short)IVisio.VisSectionIndices.visSectionUser, (short)IVisio.VisRowIndices.visRowUser, (short)IVisio.VisCellIndices.visUserValue).ResultIU;
Then set the font, and the TextMargins (for any that are non-zero) with the following (assuming the normal font size is 12 and the left margin is 4pt.:
shape.get_CellsSRC((short)IVisio.VisSectionIndices.visSectionCharacter, 0, (short)IVisio.VisCellIndices.visCharacterSize).FormulaU = (scale*12).ToString() + "pt";
shape.get_CellsSRC((short)IVisio.VisSectionIndices.visSectionObject, (short)IVisio.VisRowIndices.visRowText, (short)IVisio.VisCellIndices.visTxtBlkLeftMargin).FormulaU = (scale * 4).ToString() + "pt";

I don't know of a way to size text to the shape unless you change the font size, but there are ways to size shapes to the text instead of the other way around.
share|improve this answer
Yeah, my shapes can't be resized the way they're used, so the text has to just fit into the shape as it exists. Maybe that link will show me how to do it the other way...Thanks – Jon Fournier Dec 9 '09 at 17:20

Riemann Sums for Functions of Two Variables
Visualize and calculate a Riemann sum for a real–valued function of two real variables. The x and y axes are partitioned into subintervals of equal width. Set the point on each subrectangle where the function is evaluated to determine the height of the rectangular solid constructed over that subrectangle.
This Demonstration is meant for students of multivariable calculus. It illustrates the concept of a Riemann sum for a real–valued function of two real variables. Choose one of four functions. Then you can freely select a uniform partition of either the x or y axis into 5, 10, 20, or 40 parts. You may also select the point on each subrectangle at which the function is evaluated (to determine the height of the rectangular solid to be constructed over that subrectangle). Initially, the function is evaluated at the center. This feature is included to show that as the partition becomes finer, the choice of this point becomes less consequential, suggesting that in the limit it simply does not matter.

Interactive mosaic: The QM command
The syntax is:
QM [NAME1] [NAME2] [TYPE] ( or QMOSA [NAME1] [NAME2] [TYPE] )
The QM command (for QuickMosaic) assemble the image [name1] and [name2] in an unique image. QM is optimized for stellar images: The commun point between the two images is a star selected with the mouse (a simple click). QM is easy to use but the operation is rudimentary: only relative translation between the images is considered, not the distortion for example. The parameter [type] define the junction zone of the two images. If type=1 the image 1 is on image 2, if type=2 a pixel in the commun zone is the maximum of image 1 and 2, if type=3 a pixel in the commun zone is the minimum of image 1 and 2, if type=4 the commun zone is the mean intensity of image 1 and 2, if type=5 an interpolation is computed between images 1 and 2 for a more natural transition . For the majority of situation the type=5 option is preferred. QM can process black and white images and true colors images. Example, assemble the two images:
The two images. A correct commun star is selected (if possible bright but unsatured and isolated).
The image after "QuickMosa" operation.
If the name of the two images
is M27_1 and M27_2, the command is:
>QM M27_1 M27_2 5
The image M27_1 is first automatiquely displayed. Click on the selected star with the crossair. Then, the M27_2 is dispayed and select the same star. It is all.
QM2 is similar to QM but for non-stellar images. Iris use the intercorellation technique around the clicked zone. The syntax is:
QM2 [NAME1] [NAME2] [TYPE] ( or QMOSA2 [NAME1] [NAME2] [TYPE] )
First image. Click on a contrasted detail.
Second image. Select the same detail.
The mosaic after command >QM2 IM1 IM2 5
Interactive rmosaic: The Mosaic dialog box
Like QM, the Mosaic dialog box (Geometry menu) allows you to combine a pair of images into a single, large image.
Before running a mosaic command, a crop operation is often necessary for elliminate unneeded areas in the commun parts of the images. For example, assemble these two images of Hercule galaxy cluster:
Select the valid area for the two images. For example drag with the mouse and run the Crop command in contextual menu (right click on the image). You can use also WIN or WINDOW (WINDOW2, WINDOW3, ...) familly commands.
Also, if the images there taken under varying conditions (variable integration time, variable atmpospheric transmission, etc), it may be necessary to balance the backgounds and dynamic range of each images prior building the mosaic. The commands OFFSET, MULT, NOFFSET (offset normalization of the background to a given value), NGAIN (gain normalization ot the background) are the basics tools for balance operations. This require also measuring the levels of background and/or stars in the overlapping regions. Use the cursor information, or statistics function (contextual menu or STAT console command).
Re-save the cropped file (field1 and field2 images for example), and open the Mosaic dialog:
Adjust the the position of field2 image relative to field1 image by acting on the arrow keys. The four arrow button will move the field2 image by the number of pixels indicated by the Step control. At a first stage the step increment can be large (20-30 pixels); At the final stage, you can select fractional values (0.2 pixel for example). For help you, select the Difference option: Iris compute the difference field1-field2 in the overlap region. The relative position of the two images can be edited manually (DX and DY controls).
For the final combination, select the Maximum, Mean or Interpolate option for the blending process (see QM console command). If the Interpolate option is selected, at each pixel in the area of the overlap, Iris calculates an interpolation function. This method gives the better results when residual tile background effects are presents.
The Save im2. button save the translated
(or rotated if you use rotation button) Image 2. This function is very
practical for align two images or a sequence of
image relative to a reference image (the Image 1 term).


text: The design of automated negotiators has been the focus of abundant research in recent years. However, due to difficulties involved in creating generalized agents that can negotiate in several domains and against human counterparts, many automated negotiators are domain specific and their behavior cannot be generalized for other domains. Some of these difficulties arise from the differences inherent within the domains, the need to understand and learn negotiators' diverse preferences concerning issues of the domain and the different strategies negotiators can undertake. In this paper we present a system that enables alleviation of the difficulties in the design process of general automated negotiators termed Genius, a General Environment for Negotiation with Intelligent multi-purpose Usage Simulation. With the constant introduction of new domains, e-commerce and other applications, which require automated negotiations, generic automated negotiators encompass many benefits and advantages over agents that are designed for a specific domain. Based on experiments conducted with automated agents designed by human subjects using Genius we provide both quantitative and qualitative results to illustrate its efficacy. Our results show the advantages and underlying benefits of using Genius for designing general automated negotiators.

Longest Path in a triangle
up
Given a triangle filled with digits e.g.
 1
 2 3
 4 5 6
 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19
Find an algorithm that effeciently finds the longest path. Meaning that from location (i,j) you can only go to (i,j+1) or (i+1,j+1). The trivial solution would be to brute force all possible paths. This can be doable for small triangles but certainly not for large one. An efficient solution (which is O(n), n being the number of digits). Goes as follows:
- start from the lowest line - 1, and iterate to the top
-- for all elements on this line
--- current value (i,j) = current value max ( (i,j+1), (i+1,j+1))
Or an implementation of this bottom up approach in C

How do I set up application links where address of 3rd party application servers is unknown?
Hi folks!
I'd like to use Confluence's support for Basic HTTP Authentication for an Application Link to allow for a 3rd party app to log in to confluence under a specific account.
Everything looks doable using the application links setup, except for the fact that you need to know the URL of the application sending the authentication information to Confluence. What do we do when this is not know? For example, what if we have multiple instances of this application at different URLs that we want to allow to access Confluence? Or, what if their URLs change?
Is there a way that we can have Confluence grant access for any incoming traffic that uses the correct basic HTTP authentication credentials regardless of what its URL is?
In short, here's what I'm trying to achieve:
 1. Confluence server is locked down so there is no anonymous access.
 2. Users of 3rd party system can click a link in 3rd party system to open a page in confluence. From then on they can browse around content in confluence until (and unless) they decide to log out (or their session times out, etc).
 3. Note: 3rd party system may be installed in multiple concurrent locations, might not know their URLs, etc...

You shouldn't need to do anything to configure incoming basic authentication into Confluence.
I know it's confusing but configuring incoming basic authentication via Application Links is used to make it easier to set up a 2-way link between two Application Link aware applications. These are usually Atlassian applications. For example, JIRA and Confluence.
The trick to doing what you want is that Confluence won't send a basic challenge via a 401 http response but instead will try and redirect an unauthenticated request to the login screen. Therefore, your 3rd party app will need to send the basic credentials in its request without being challenged. Does this make sense?
Interesting Ryan! So, you'd do something like this (python example)?
import urllib
f = urllib.urlopen("http://username:_EMAIL_/spacekey/pagename")
print f.read()
Strange example I know. I'm just trying to verify the syntax for passing username and password through the request. You do it this way, and not via key value pairs or some other means, correct?
No, you need to set the basic Auth headers. AFAIK, that syntax depends on your browser transforming the url into a proper Basic Auth request.
I don't know python but you want something like
import urllib
opener = urllib.URLOpener({})
opener.addheader("Authorization", "Basic " + base64.b64encode("Aladdin:open sesame"))
f = opener.open("_URL_
That doesn't sound too secure to me, which would be why it isn't supported. What you are saying is that you will allow anyone to access your server if they have authenticated with their own server, no matter what server it was. I think you'd be better advised to really determine who you will extend trust to.
Hi Jim!
I think the intent here is to do this: In instances of our web application, we have a certain class of users (administrators) who will be in and out of the confluence server (documentation). We will create accounts for these users in confluence, but want to provide them with a seamless experience so if they follow a link to a confluence page from our application, they will be logged in under their own account and won't be prompted for a PW.
In my initial description, "users" was a bit broad. It is NOT any user of our application...it is only administrators (and we will create accounts for each of them).
So I think what I am saying is this, "Any administer of our system will have an account created in confluence, and can follow links from our apps to pages in confluence. Authentication will take place transparently to the user when they follow these links."

Water and phosphorus (P) are two critical resources for high nature value farming in semi-dry mountains.
ey are major drivers of grassland productivity but can negatively aect plant diversity. Soil moisture
is known to aect soil microbial activity and plant P nutrition but the eects of irrigation on soil P
status, soil microbial P and plant P nutrition in semi-natural grasslands remain largely unexplored, which
impedes the optimization of fertilization. e aim of this study was to assess the mid-term eects of
irrigation on P availability in the soil, the size of the soil microbial P pool and plant P nutrition in semi-dry
mountain grasslands. At the end of a ve-year irrigation-fertilization factorial experiment on eleven seminatural
grasslands of an inner-alpine valley, soil P availability and herbage P content did not signicantly
dier between the irrigated and the not irrigated treatments. Fertilization increased herbage P content
from 2.2 to 3.1 mg P kg-1 dry mass (P<0.001). e size of the microbial P pool remained unaected by
irrigation and fertilization. We conclude that for semi-natural mountain grasslands, no correction factor
for irrigated compared to not irrigated meadows is necessary to estimate the P fertilization requirement
per unit of herbage yield.

What are the dangers in Lassen Volcanic National Park?
Because Lassen Volcanic National Park is a large wildlife area, guests should be cautious of black bears, burned areas, high elevations, snow and ice, and vector-borne diseases.
- Black bears: while black bear incidents are rare, they are still inhabitants of the park. To stay safe in the presence of a black bear, do not feed the bears, stay calm, pick up children, and move away slowly. Try to stay at least 100 yards away.
- Burned areas can be unstable due to loose or falling rocks, trees, and hidden holes. Stay out of closed-off areas.
- High elevation: high elevation can cause headache, dizziness, and shortness of breath. When hiking, bring enough water and take breaks as needed. If you begin to feel symptoms of altitude sickness, turn back.
- Snow and ice: Winter weather can quickly turn deadly. Don't go hiking in winter without avalanche training. Make sure you have waterproof and warm gear. When sledding, watch for ice.
- Vector-borne diseases: When camping and hiking, you're in the habitat of many different wild animals. To avoid diseases like hantavirus, plague, and rabies, stay away from wild animals and their droppings.
Where To Stay in Lassen Volcanic National Park
Aside from camping or backpacking, the park has one lodging option. Drakebad Guest Ranch is a secluded piece of paradise in Warner Valley. The ranch offers 19 lodges and bungalows, many with private showers and electricity.
Guests have access to a swimming pool heated by natural hot springs, horseback riding, fishing, and access to hiking trails. The ranch includes a restaurant, and you can include meals in your reservation.
Lassen Volcanic National Park FAQ
Can you drive through Lassen Volcanic National Park?
Driving through Lassen Volcanic National Park is very common. Lassen Volcanic National Highway connects the north and south entrances of the park. The drive is full of beautiful scenery but is closed to through traffic in the snowy months.
The park has three dirt roads that lead to Butte Lake, Warner Valley, and Juniper Lake. These roads also close in the snowy season.
Where do you fly into Lassen Volcanic National Park?
The nearest airport to Lassen Volcanic National Park is the Redding Municipal Airport, about 45 miles away. This is a smaller airport, and it only takes flights from Alaska Airlines, United Airlines, and Avelo Airlines.
The nearest major airports are the Sacramento International Airport, 151 miles away, and the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, 152 miles away.

Abstract: Light is a primary energy source. Its use efficiency reflects the capacity of ecosystem in converting light energy and producing organic matter. Revealing the values of light and its use efficiency in typical ecosystems provides reference for assessing regional light resources and their use efficiency, which is also helpful in assessing the regional capacity of organic matter production and carbon sequestration. Based on ChinaFLUX observations and published literature, we built the radiation and light-use efficiency dataset of typical ecosystems in China from 2002 to 2010. This dataset contains 126 site-year light resource, light-use efficiency, and absorbed light use efficiency observed from 51 ecosystems. In addition, the dataset also contains the biotic and abiotic information such as ecosystem code, observation year, longitude, latitude, altitude, ecosystem type, annual air temperature, annual precipitation, annual CO2 mass concentration, annual mean leaf area index, annual maximum leaf area index. The dataset could provide data base for research on carbon cycle and climate change.

Forestry Minister Michelle O'Neill has launched a new Tree Safety Management Practice Guide aimed at maintaining a safe environment for visitors to Forest Service woodland.
Publishing the document Minister O'Neill said: "Our forests are a vital community resource and recent research has indicated that there are approximately 4.7 million visits to Forest Service woodlands annually.
"We are publishing the Tree Safety Management Guide because we want to keep forest visitors informed about how they may be affected by our tree safety management activity. It is also a useful source of advice to other forest owners and managers with similar obligations."
The Minister added that tree safety management does not seek to eliminate risk but to reduce it to an acceptable level.
She said: "People enjoy trees in what they regard as 'natural' or 'unmanaged' places and will accept a degree of risk because of the value they bestow and the pleasure they derive from visiting or participating in leisure activities in our woodlands."

About Crioda, King of West Saxons
Creoda of Wessex (b. c. 493) is a shadowy figure in early Wessex history, mentioned only in the regnal list in the preface of the Anglo-Saxon chronicle. There he is stated to have been the son of Cerdic and father to Cynric.
 1. ID: I179794
 2. Name: King Creoda [@ <^>v] de Wessex
 3. Sex: M
 4. Birth: 510
 5. Death: 559
Father: King Cerdic [@ <^>v] de Wessex b: 492
Marriage 1 Spouse Unknown
 1. Has Children King Cynric [@ <^>v] de Wessex b: 528
Some authorities question Creoda's insertion as a generation between Cerdic and Cynric.
reoda of Wessex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whether or not Creola was a son of Cerdic and father of Cynric is notcertain. From the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Winchester Manuscript,Cynric is listed as the son of Cerdic. However the Abingdon andWorcester Manuscripts have Creola as the son of Cerdic and father ofCynric. Creola is included here to allow for the possibility that hewas the son of Cerdic
 Bestaan van deze persoon is niet bewezen. Volgens overlevering is zijn zoon Cynric eigenlijk de directe zoon van Cerdic (de vader van Creoda).
Creoda was a co-Ruler of West Saxons, before 534. Creoda isn't mentioned by every authority, but Royalty For Commoners does include him. Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists Who Came to America before 1700 does too, by omission. However, in fairness, even the Anglo-Saxon Chronical skips Creoda. However, if one examines the ages, the Creoda generation does make sense.
"By some accounts he also reigned jointly (519-534) with his grandfather (or father?), Cerdic, founder of Wessex." -------------------- Born Wessex, England 493. -------------------- There is an unsolved mystery surrounding the name of Creoda (also Cretta or Crida). The name of Creoda is a highly rare name - in fact, only four times the name 'Creoda', in its' various spellings, is mentioned during the 600 years history of Anglo-Saxons, and the place names connected somehow to the name of Creoda are few, and are located not far from the city of Cirencester:
1) Creoda, King of Mercians, who claimed to be descendant of Icel, and alleged first King of Mercia.
2) Certain 'Creoda' King of West Saxons appears in some ancient regnal lists, but about whom nothing is known.
3) Cretta who appears in the list of the ancestors, or possibly Kings, of Aldfrith,ill-fated and the only known King of Lindsey.
4) Certain Crida, who is once mentioned is 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' 593:
'Ceawiln, Cwichelm and Crida perished…'.
All the variations: Critta,Crida and Creoda are almost certainly,the different spellings of the same name, and at least three of the above mentioned persons (Creoda of Mercia, Critta of Lindsey and, of course, Crida of 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle') are known to have died about the same time - about the end of the sixth century, so they probably, or even almost certainly were the same person.
A number of different explanations were made, but the most probable theory relays to the name of Creoda's alleged father Venta. 'Venta' is not a name, either British or English, but a name of a place: Venta, or in Roman: 'Caistor-next-Norwich', a place in Norfolk, which might have been a residence of unknown East Anglian Kings, if in the late 5th or in 6th century East Anglia, before it's history was beginning to be recorded, was devided into two Kingdoms (see: Kingdom of East Anglia).
This Creoda might have been the King of Northern East Anglia, and who was expelled in or before the year 571, when East Anglian King Wuffa annexed Norfolk and expelled its' ruler, after what event English led by Creoda moved westwords, were he created (at least he is listed as the first King of these Kingdoms) the Kingdoms of Lindsey and Mercia, probably in this order. It is also plausible, that Creoda himself was the King of the whole Kingdom of East Anlgia, whom Wuffa, son of Wehha, whom the posterity made the first,or one of the firts,legitimate ruler of East Angles, expelled from his domains, but it is unprobabe, since there is no mention of such King of East Anglia in any existent regnal lists or ancient historical writings or documents.The exact date of Creoda's death is given in 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' 593, according to which he 'perished' along with Ceawlin, King of Wessex (what may eliminate the possibility, that this Creoda might also have been a sole King of West Saxons, though he might have been a joint ruler with this Ceawlin - nothing is known about this West Saxon Creoda who appears in some ancient regnal lists as King of West Saxons - it probably was, if he ever existed, another 'Creoda') and Cwichhelm (probably some local West Saxon lord).
According to the Mercian traditions and genealogies, the name of Creoda's father was 'Cynewald' and although nothing, except his name, is known about him, this is the most plausible version, since the name 'Cynewald' is a real English name, of, probably, an existing person. In old West Saxon regnal list were Creoda's name appears as King of Wessex, his father is unnamed and unknown.
Creoda from Lindsey left issue: son named Cueldgils,who might have been the next King of Lindsey, but of whom nothing is known.The Mercian Creoda left another son, named Pybba or Pypba, who appeared is some old Mercian regnal lists, and who later became a King of Mercia.
-------------------- Cerdic was allegedly the first King of Anglo-Saxon Wessex from 519 to 534, cited by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as the founder of the Kingdom of Wessex and ancestor of all its subsequent kings.
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Cerdic landed in Hampshire in 495 with his son Cynric in five ships. He is said to have fought a Brittonic king named Natanleod at Netley Marsh in Hampshire and killed him thirteen years later (in 508) and to have fought at Cerdicesleag (Charford, Cerdic's Ford[1]) in 519, after which he became first king of Wessex. The conquest of the Isle of Wight is also mentioned among his campaigns, and it was later given to his kinsmen, Stuf and Wihtgar (who had supposedly arrived with the West Saxons in 514). Cerdic died in 534 and was succeeded by his son Cynric.

Layered rendering part 2, it helps solve many problems… :-)
As part of Qt 4.5, we added QGraphicsItem::opacity. Which is great! But it doesn't work as well as it could. We're receiving a few comments about how this implementation could work better. Trouble is, in Qt 4.5 we only have two ways of rendering: direct, and indirect ("cached", e.g., ItemCoordinateCache). And in order to apply opacity, you really need full composition support... :-/
Here's a rundown of the trouble with today's opacity support:
 - The current behavior modifies the input opacity of the painter
 - you can override this opacity on a per-item basis (intentionally or not!)
 -...and each primitive (line, rect, pixmap) you draw with QPainter will be composed one at a time inside the item (which is bad!)
 - The behavior is slightly different depending on whether you cache an item or not.
 -...if you use caching, the offscreen pixmap is rendered with an opacity, whereas the item itself doesn't have any opacity set on its painter.
 - Each item applies opacity locally, and even though opacity propagates to children, each item is still rendered by itself, cause each item to be transparent (as opposed to rendering one subtree as a whole with an opacity)
All these problems could have been solved if we treated opacity as an effect that you can apply to one layer as a whole, instead of on each item. I think this is how opacity should work in the first place... but that's how it goes sometimes. But fear not, we can fix this in a later release! :-)
To illustrate the current behavior, here's what you get if you construct a scene with four items, each a child of the previous item, in colors red, then green, then blue, then yellow. Logical structure in hypothetical markup:
Rect {
 color: red;
 rect: QRectF(0, 0, 100, 100);
 child : Rect {
 color : green;
 pos: QPointF(25, 25);
 opacity: 0.5;
 child : Rect {
 color : blue;
 pos: QPointF(25, 25);
 rotation: 45;
 child : Rect {
 color : yellow;
 pos: QPointF(25, 25);
 scale: 2x2;
This will in Qt 4.5 render the following output:
Opacity, in Qt 4.5
What's important to notice here is how all elements are transparent; so you can see the blue through the yellow item, the green through the blue item, and the red item through the green item. But the yellow item doesn't actually have any opacity assigned. It inherits opacity from the green item (opacity: 0.5).
By rendering the "green sub-tree" into a separate layer, we can combine all items and apply one uniform opacity as part of composing these items together. In my last blog I wrote about off-screen rendering. This work has progressed and is in quite a usable state (although the code is really ugly). It works! The rendering output for the same application as the above looks like this:
Opacity, in Qt 4.6
The essential difference is how the "green sub-tree" is treated as if it had one _combined_ opacity. The yellow item, for example, isn't transparent by itself at all. You can't see the blue through the yellow. By "collapsing" the subtree into a single layer we can both avoid unnecessary rerendering of items (i.e., if you move the green item around, the children are not repainted, not even from cache). Which is pretty cool!
(We get this at the cost of allocating and spending an extra pixmap, and the first time we render there's an extra level of indirection.)
But there's even more applications to this technique... :-) With code for handling explicit composition of layers, we can now use pixmap filters and shaders to compose one layer onto another. And this is very useful for any future effects API we might add to Qt in general. Imagine applying a gaussian blur effect to the layer represented by the green item. The result is below:
Opacity w/blur, in Qt 4.6
The result is very neat; the whole layer is blurred before it's rendered. You don't get funny artifacts that might have occurred in overlapping regions if each of the items was blurred individually.
Now none of this gives any mind-blowing screenshots (at least not yet), but it's an important step that provides faster rendering of subtrees (as sliding and transforming a complex graph of items ends up just being matrix operations on a single pixmap/texture, and in software this prevents overdrawing), a more accurate processing of the opacity property of QGraphicsItem, and it makes it very easy to apply fancy composition effects to groups of items.
Questions: Should layers be explicitly defined, or implicitly handled by logics inside Graphics View? In the example above, I've used the opacity property to detect whether an item's subtree should be rendered into a separate layer or not. This is easy to do and very clear/unsurprising. But what if you want to collapse a subtree for performance reasons? An alternative, or possibly an additional approach would be to add an explicit setting: QGraphicsItem::setLayer(true) or setCacheMode(QGraphicsItem::DeepItemCoordinateCache). I'm torn. Experimentation and feedback will show (yes I know I need to push this code out, once our SCM goes public this will be much easier!).
There's also the problem with these darn flags QGraphicsItem::ItemIgnoresParentOpacity and QGraphicsItem::ItemDoesntPropagateOpacityToChildren. There's no way to make these flags work with a layered rendering approach. But are these flags very important, or could we just (*cough* *cough*) disable/deprecate them? ;-)
Finally I still haven't found out how to handle ItemIgnoresTransformations. The most probable solution is that these items are automatically rendered into a separate layer.
Happy hacking! :-)

Position of max value in list
Excel formula: Position of max value in list
Generic formula
To get the position of the maximum value in a range (i.e. a list, table, or row), you can use the MAX function together with the MATCH function.
In the example shown, the formula in I5 is:
Which returns the number 4, representing the position in this list of the the most expensive property.
In this case, that value is 849900.
With those arguments, MATCH locates finds the maximum value inside the range and returns the relative position of the value in that range.
In this case, the position corresponds to a relative row number, but in a horizontal range, the position would correspond to a relative column number.
Note: in case of duplicates (i.e. two or more max values that are the same) this formula will return the position of the first match, the default behavior of the MATCH function.

Garden Kneelers, Pads and Seats
When you're out gardening, it can often mean spending a long time working at ground level with gardening tools. While there are plenty of gardening supplies out there, but only garden kneelers, pads and seats save you the discomfort of bending down or kneeling on the ground to work away.
What Are the Different Types of Garden Kneelers?
While their roles are similar, there are various different types of kneeling garden supplies, including:
- Kneeling Pads and Mats: Rather than kneeling on firm surfaces, foam garden kneeling mats and pads offer cushioning and comfort while gardening.
- Garden Seats: These lightweight seats often are able to be folded into a kneeling pad as well, allowing you to garden in whatever way suits you and providing a useful piece of outdoor furniture.
What Types of Kneeling Pads and Mats Are There?
Designed to cushion your knees from the ground, kneeling pads can be used in several ways, like:
- Garden Kneeling Mat: This flat foam mat simply rests on the ground and is quick and easy to use.
- Garden Knee Pads: Rather than move a mat around or slip off it, garden knee pads allow you to wear pads on your knees, attached by a strap around your leg.

The recommended air change rate per hour for a spa floating tank room can vary depending on the specific requirements and regulations in your region. However, a general guideline is to have at least 4-6 air changes per hour to maintain good air quality and prevent the buildup of humidity and odours.
The size of the room and the number of people using the floating tank should also be taken into consideration when determining the appropriate air change rate. It is important to consult with a professional HVAC engineer or technician to ensure that the ventilation system is properly designed and installed to meet the specific needs of the spa floating tank room.
ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) provides guidelines for ventilation rates in different types of spaces, including spa and pool areas. According to ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2019, the minimum ventilation rate for a spa area is 68 cubic metres per hour (m3/h) per occupant.
To convert this minimum ventilation rate to air changes per hour (ACH), you would need to know the volume of the spa area and divide it by the ventilation rate. For example, if the spa area has a volume of 1,000 cubic meters and you want to achieve 6 air changes per hour, you would need a ventilation rate of 6 x 1,000 = 6000 m3/h. or 1667 lit/s.
It is important to note that the minimum ventilation rate recommended by ASHRAE may not be sufficient to provide optimal indoor air quality in all situations, especially in spaces with high humidity levels or other contaminants. It is recommended to consult with a professional HVAC engineer to determine the specific ventilation requirements for your spa area based on factors such as occupancy, size, and use.
Engineers normally select ACH =20 to 30 for the spa. What is the optimum amount of ACH?
the running cost of ventilation from ACH=6 to ACH=20 is huge money!!!
We used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to optimise the air change rate per hour for moisture removal in a spa floating tank room. CFD simulations can provide detailed information about the airflow patterns, temperature distribution, and moisture levels in the room, which can be used to design and optimize the ventilation system. By simulating different air change rates and airflow patterns, CFD can help identify the most effective ventilation strategies for moisture removal while minimizing energy consumption and maintaining good indoor air quality. This can include optimising the placement and size of air supply and exhaust vents, adjusting the temperature and humidity setpoints, and incorporating other moisture control strategies such as dehumidification systems or air purifiers. Overall, using CFD simulations to optimize the air change rate for moisture removal can help ensure that the spa floating tank room provides a comfortable and healthy environment for users while minimizing energy costs and reducing the risk of moisture-related problems such as mould growth or corrosion.
We simulated a floating tank room for three conditions:
a) almost no ventilation (ACH=0)
b) Medium ventilation (ACH=8)
c) High ventilation (ACH= 20)
The following animations show the relative humidity of the room:
Blue colour: Relative humidity = 100%
Red Colour: Relative humidity = 0%
Here are the outcomes:
We can see that CFD found ACH=8 is sufficient for this floating room. This outcome can help to optimise the energy cost for ventilation.

Let $(E,\mathscr E)$ be a measurable space and $(S,2^S)$ be a finite set. Let $$ \xi:(E,\mathscr E)\to(S,2^S) $$ be a mesaurable function, i.e. $\xi^{-1}(s)\in \mathscr E$ for any $s\in S$. Now, let us denote by $\Omega = E^{\mathbb N_0}$ and by $\mathscr F$ its product $\sigma$-algebra. Also, let $\Sigma = S^{\mathbb N_0}$ and let $\mathscr S$ be the correspondent product $\sigma$-algebra.
Let $\eta:\Omega\to\Sigma$ be the element-wise extension of $\xi$, i.e. $$ \eta(\omega_0,\omega_1,\dots) = (\xi(\omega_0),\xi(\omega_1),\dots). $$
I wonder if $\mathscr S$ is different from $$ \mathscr C = \{A\subseteq \Sigma:\eta^{-1}(A)\in \mathscr F\}. $$ It is clear that $\mathscr S\subseteq \mathscr C$ - but can the strict inclusion actually happen?

Yes, strict inclusion can happen. If $S$ has more than one element, $(\Sigma,\mathscr{S})$ will be an uncountable compact metric space with the Borel $\sigma$-algebra. By standard arguments, there will be $\mathfrak{c}$ many measurable sets, there are as many measurable sets as real numbers. Also, $|\Sigma|=\mathfrak{c}$.
Now let $S=\{0,1,2\}$ and let $\xi$ be the constant function that maps everything to $2$. There are $2^\mathfrak{c}$ subsets of $\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$. Take any subset $A$ of $\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$ and let $A'=A\cup\{(2,2,2,\ldots)\}$. There are $2^\mathfrak{c}$ sets of this form and since $\eta^{-1}(A')=\Omega$ for all of them, they are all in $\mathscr{C}$.
So for cardinality reasons, the inclusion will be strict. Note that $\mathscr{C}$ is the largest $\sigma$-algebra on $\Sigma$ that is compatible with $\eta$ being measurable. It shouldn't be surprising that it is quite large.

Transformer Rating is expressed in | Electrical Transformer MCQ#3
Transformer rating is expressed in:
 1. amps
 2. kilovolt-amps (kVA)
 3. volts
 4. watts
Correct answer: 2. kVA or kilovolt-amps
Explanation – Why Transformer Rating is expressed in kVA
The actual power factor is determined by the load. The kVA is the unit of apparent power which is defined as the product of voltage and the current flowing through the load. The kVA is the actual power that appears to be supplied (ignoring the phase angle).

This provides a real window of opportunity for getting to know 'the other' and reducing fear, mistrust and stereotypes. The program has three components… 1. 'Yoni's journey to Hospital Land' A therapeutic storybook which helps children manage the hospital experience (including pain management, relaxation breathing and cognitive behaviour therapy strategies tailored for children). 2. 'Parents' Guide to Hospital Land' Providing ideas for parents to support their child through the hospitalisation experience. 3. A Hospital Land website A place for children to share experiences and gather ideas. 'Yoni's journey to Hospital Land' - EXCERPT FROM 'TRAVEL GUIDE' Going to hospital can be strange and a bit scary. Everything is so different! The doctors with their stethoscopes, the machines that beep, the other kids in bandages, the noises and lights when you're trying to sleep, the food, the people you meet, even the strange medical language the doctors and nurses speak! It's all so different it's rather like being in a different land – you could call it Hospital Land! When people travel to a foreign land they often take a travel guide to help them find their way. It tells you what to expect and how to behave. So this book is a travel guide to Hospital Land – helping you find your way in hospital and know what to expect. It tells you what happens when you first come into hospital, what the nurses and doctors do and what it's like sharing a room with somebody you don't know. And just like travel guides have traveller's tips and a little dictionary so you can manage with the different customs and language, so this book also has tips. They can help you manage in hospital, such as how to go to sleep when it's noisy and what to do if you're nervous about blood tests. There's also a little dictionary so you can understand some of that foreign medical language. All travellers set out on their journey not knowing exactly where it will lead them. Sometimes its only when we journey away from the things we know that we learn new things about the world, and ourselves. I wonder what you will learn in your journey to hospital land! 'Parents' Guide to Hospital Land' - EXCERPT FROM 'MEETING THE OTHER' In hospital you and your child will meet people from different cultural backgrounds. They may be people you would never meet or talk to in your normal life. In fact, you may find yourselves in very close contact with these "other" people. If they are fellow patients, you may be sharing a room, using the same bathroom or kitchen. This culturally different person may also be looking after you in the hospital – a doctor, nurse or teacher. It can feel awkward and uncomfortable at first. However, you are likely to see that here in hospital the usual separations between people are less relevant. Here the divisions are between the sick and the healthy. And the healthy, no matter what background they come from, are all working together to help the sick. In this world of sickness and health, where we are all made of the same flesh and blood, different relationships develop. The program is now almost ready. It will be distributed to children and their parents in paediatric departments at Hadassah and a range of other children's hospitals across Israel. Esther's work on research, development and writing the story and parents' guide, and the illustrator's work have been contributed on an honorary basis. Financial contributions have been made by Hadassah hospital and donors in Israel. However additional donations are required for creating the website, and printing Yoni's Journey to Hospital Land Storybook and Parents' Guide.


text: Self-collimated propagation and slow-sound effect of spoof acoustic surface waves over a thin solid slab with partially embedded spherical cavities in a square lattice are numerically and experimentally demonstrated. Band structure calculations via the Finite-Element Method reveal that a single spoof surface wave band appears below the air-line, which flattens as the spheres are embedded deeper, leveraging the observation of self-collimated slow spoof modes. For a radius-to-lattice constant ratio of 0.45 and embedding depth of 60% of the radius, the surface band is such that non-diffractive guiding of spoof waves along the direction can be achieved. Persistent self-collimated propagation of spoof surface waves over long distances is demonstrated through frequency-domain Finite-Element Method simulations. Plane waves incident from air can couple to the self-collimated modes for a wide range of azimuthal angle of incidence up to 60 degrees, where the polar angle of incidence can be in the range of +/- 15 degrees. Self-collimation of spoof waves is experimentally realized by employing a plane-wave source incident from air. In addition, when the embedding depth is higher than 85%, self-collimated slow spoof modes with group indices higher than 15 can be obtained. The observed phenomena can be utilized in two-dimensional acoustic systems such as logic circuits and interferometric sensing devices. Published under license by AIP Publishing.

Factors Affecting Specific Gravity of Potatoes
Spectrum Analytic Inc
This article discusses some of the factors that can affect the specific gravity of potatoes.
Some work has shown an association between chloride (Cl) application and decreased specific gravity. However, other literature indicates that potatoes are more sensitive than many crops to shortages of chloride. Producers who suspect that excessive chlorides may be a problem should consider using potassium sulfate vs. potassium chloride for K2O.
Excess or insufficient soil moisture can lower specific gravity. Optimum moisture availability as tubers approach maturity can increase specific gravity.
Vine kill at peak physiological maturity increases specific gravity, and killing vines slowly with chemicals increases specific gravity compared to a quick kill by physical means.
Short day lengths during tuber formation contribute to higher specific gravity, so adjusting planting dates to take advantage of this can be beneficial.
While high levels of available Calcium (Ca) has not been proven to directly affect the specific gravity of potatoes, it has been shown to play a major role in improving several other "quality" factors in potatoes. Calcium is a structural component of cell walls. Adequate Ca, therefore, contributes to the structural integrity of plant cells. Potatoes low in Ca will have an increased susceptibility to internal brown spot and soft rot disease in tubers. In the studies where additional Ca reduced these problems, gypsum was applied at rates of 500 and 750 lb./acre in the root zone. High levels of available Ca has also been shown to improve potato skin-set.

Can Vegans Eat Tortilla Chips?
Can Vegans Eat Tortilla Chips?
A tortilla chip is a snack food made from corn tortillas and the majority of the fat on this snack is unsaturated which is the healthy kind and this is one homemade chip that is loved by a lot of people and there are varieties of chips that can be used in making tortilla chips however vegans tend to wonder if they can eat this tasty snacks without guilt.
A vegan diet involves eating foods comprising of only plants and exclude all animal products including meat, dairy, and eggs, a vegan diet may help keep your heart healthy however there are accidentally vegan junk foods to make this diet plan easier.
Nutritional planning is vital whether you are vegan or not particularly when you are making dietary changes and healthy eating as a vegan will not only help you lose weight but reduce the risk of some certain cancers, lower risk of heart disease, and appears to lower blood sugar level and improve kidney function.
You should definitely not eat junk food every day, vegan or not however if you choose to eat junk food, we suggest picking from options that do not contain any animal products, and if you are wondering if tortilla chips are on the list of accidentally vegan food, here is what you should know.
Table of Contents
Can Vegans Eat Tortilla Chips?
Can Vegans Eat Tortilla Chips?
Yes, vegans can definitely stock up their pantry with tortilla chips, for the most part, these chips are made out of plant-based ingredients made from corn tortillas which are cut into triangles and then fried or baked. There are lots of brands making tortilla chips however you should read through the ingredients list to help you choose the right vegan tortilla chips.
Can vegans eat chips and salsa?
Yes, vegans can eat chips and salsa as long as the chips are fried in vegetable oil which is usually the oil used by most restaurants then it's vegan.
Are tortilla chips junk foods?
Yes, tortilla chips might be lower in fat and calories compared to some chips but they are still unhealthy because they are usually fried hence you should avoid eating way too many of them if you are trying to burn calories.
These chips may somehow be a better choice to potatoes chips though as it contains fewer calories and is more satisfying crunchy snacks to go for if you are looking to replace potato chips.
A tortilla chip is a snack you can enjoy any time of the day and the nutrients to derive from eating tortilla chips includes, copper, calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc however the frying process may damage some of these nutrients but they do have less saturated fat compared to potatoes chips and makes a delicious vegan snack to munch on.
Vegans wanting to improve their health and lose weight should stick to minimally processed foods and limit the intake of junk foods though there is no wrong time to eat chips, ensure you do not consume them regularly and when in doubt, read the label.

Learning Sealing: Traditional Knowledge Strengthening Awareness of Being Greenlandic Today
This thesis investigates in which ways learning 'traditional' knowledge such as seal hunting is a strengthening factor for the awareness of being Greenlandic today. It looks at knowledge transfer between one generation and the next as well as the role of knowledge transfer in the education system. Finally, the tension or interplay between possessing traditional knowledge and living as a modern people is discussed. Through primarily using qualitative research in the shape of interviews of twelve individuals, this thesis draws on examples from various kinds of education, while accounts from staff at the Children's Home Uummannaq and from young Greenlanders also provide information on passing of knowledge outside the educational system. The data will be analysed drawing on a range of theories from the cross-disciplinary field of my study, naming Fikret Berkes' model on traditional ecological knowledge, Thomas La Belle's theories on informal versus formal education, Gayatri Spivak's theory on the voices of the subalterns and epistemic violence, and Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities, to name a few examples. This thesis presents voices of particular Greenlanders rather than attempting to account for the Greenlandic people as a whole, and through these voices it is shown that learning sealing in a symbolic or a practical way strengthens the awareness of young Greenlanders.

airwalkrr's Out of the Abyss
Fighters are the most common adventuring class in the World of Greyhawk. Fighters can be found anywhere in the Flanaess, from cities, towns, and castles to rural communities, nomad tribes, and bandit hideouts. It is a straightforward profession, and the training of a fighter is well-suited to the task of survival in a dangerous world which is still mostly wilderness.
Champions are the most common types of fighters. Their skill is reliable and effective. They are often found as elite guards, shock troops and knights.
Battle masters are more unusual among fighters, but their training in martial techniques is invaluable to armies, mercenary companies, and bandits. They have a reputation as specialists in their field who augment the abilities of others, often focusing on combat maneuvers that synergize with their allies.
Eldritch knights are a rare sight. Blending arcane magic and fighting is difficult to accomplish effectively and requires a great deal of training and dedication to both magic and martial skill. Elves are the most common to practice the art, as they live long lives which gives them time to hone this craft.

Economic Definition of nationalization. Defined.
Offline Version: PDF
Term nationalization Definition: The process of a national government taking over the ownership of a private business or industry, usually in conjunction with a major revolution that establishes a communistic or socialist command economy. Nationalization was a common practice, sort of a fad, during the 1950s,1960s, and 1970s. Even non-revolutionary industrialized countries in Europe jumped onto the nationalization bandwagon. The United States also took at stab at nationalizing passenger train service when Amtrak was established in 1970.

in this latter
case where a connection was made without completing the Passphrase
prompt, the system must have recorded my Passphrase somewhere(?)
Notes:
------
- In either case above (2 & 3) it made no difference whether gnome
keyring is configured or not configured. When I first setup gnome
keyring I was prompted to provide it with the Passphrase for my wireless
network P1Z9X4S8, which I did by selecting "Always Allow".
- When using WiFi-Radar, the connection to my network was immediate
(without receiving the Passphrase prompt) about 20% of the time.

Proof of Gaussian Intergral
Gaussian integral
 The definition of the Gaussian integral is
, where $\alpha > 0$. Each expression is an abbreviation of
. This ia an improper integral. In the following, we will prove .
Proof
 We start with defining three areas in the two dimensional space.
 The first area is a closed area $A_{1}$ whose boundary is the x-axis, the y-axis and a circle with radius $r$ centered at the origin.
 The second area is a closed area $A$ whose boundary is the x-axis, the y-axis, the line $x=r$, and the line $y=r$. $A$ is a square with an edge length $r$.
 The third area is a closed area $A_{2}$ whose boundary is the x-axis, the y-axis and a circle with radius $\sqrt{2}r$ centered at the origin.
 In this way, $A_{1}$ is included in $A$ and $A$ is included in $A _ {2}$ (See figure below).
Figure of Gaussian integral
Let $I_{1}$, $I$, and $I_{2}$ be an integral of $e^{-\alpha (x^{2}+ y^{2})}$ over $A_{1}$, $A$, and $A_{2}$, respectively, i.e.,
Their integrand is positive, and $A_{1}$ is included in $A$, and $A$ is included in $A _ {2}$. Therefore the inequality
$$ \tag{1} $$ holds. By using polar coordinates,
, the integral $I_{1}$ can be written as
. Here, let $t = R^{2}$. The integral can be calculated as
. Hence we obtain
.
 In the same way as deriving $I_{1}$, we obtain
. The integral $I$ can be written as
. From $(1)$, we see that
Since the integrand $e^{-\alpha x^{2}}$ is positive, the integral $\int_{0}^{r} e^{-\alpha x^{2}}\mathrm{d}x$ is positive. We have
$$ \tag{2} $$ The limit of the left-hand side as $r$ approaches $+\infty$ is
, and the limit of the right-hand side as $r$ approaches $+\infty$ is
, which is equal to the limit of the left-hand side. Therefore, by the squeeze theorem and $(2)$, we obtain
. This expression is normally expressed as
$$ \tag{3} $$ by omitting the symbol of limit.
 The Gaussian integral of the range from $-\infty$ to $+\infty$ can be divided as
Substituing $(3)$ into this gives
Let $t = -x$, we can calculate the first term by $(2)$ as
 Therefore we obtain
Gaussian distribution fig.
$\int x \exp [- \alpha x^2] \mathrm{d} x$
 The following equations hold.
gaussian integral first order
Proof
 First, we will prove
Let $x=\sqrt{t} $, we have
. Using these, we obtain
$$ \tag{1} $$ Next, we will prove
The integral of the range from $-\infty$ to $+\infty$ can be divided as
Substituing $(1)$ into this gives
Let $t = -x$, we can calculate the first term by $(1)$ as
From thise equations, we obtain
Recurrence formula
 Let $I_{n} (\alpha)$ and $J_{n} (\alpha)$ and be integrals defined as
. Recurrence formula
hold.
proof
 The derivative of $I_{n}(\alpha)$ with respect to $\alpha$ is
Since the integrand $x^{n} e^{-\alpha x^2}$ and the partial derivative $ \frac{\mathrm{\partial} }{\mathrm{\partial} \alpha } \left( x^{n} e^{-\alpha x^2} \right) $ are continuous function, we can commute derivative and integral of the right-hand side.
By calculating the derivative, we obtain
 Next, we will prove the recurrence formula for $J_{n}(\alpha)$. The only difference between $I_{n}(\alpha)$ and $J_{n}(\alpha)$ is the integral range. We thus apply the same discussion for $I_{n}(\alpha)$, and obtain
$\int x^2 e^{-\alpha x^2} \mathrm{d}x$
 The following equations hold.
Proof
 The recurrence formula for $n=0$ is
$I_{0}(\alpha)$ is the Gaussian integral :
Therefore, we obtain
 Similarly, the recurrence formula for $n=0$ is
$J_{0}(\alpha)$ is the Gaussian integral :
Therefore, we obtain
$\int x^3 e^{-\alpha x^2} \mathrm{d}x$
 The following equations hold.
Proof
 The recurrence formula for $n=1$ is
Since
(see $\int x e^{-\alpha x^2} \mathrm{d}x$) , we obtain
 Similarly, the recurrence formula of $J_{n}(\alpha)$ for $n=1$ is
Since
(see $\int x e^{-\alpha x^2} \mathrm{d}x$) , we obtain
$\int x^4 e^{-\alpha x^2} \mathrm{d}x $
 The following equations hold.
Proof
 The recurrence formula for $n=1$ is
Since
(see $\int x^2 e^{-\alpha x^2} \mathrm{d}x$), we obtain
Similarly, the recurrence formula of $J_{n}(\alpha)$ for $n=2$ is
Since
(see $\int x^2 e^{-\alpha x^2} \mathrm{d}x$), we obtain
$\int e^{-(a x^2 + bx +c)} \mathrm{d}x$
 The following equations hold.
Proof
 Completing the square in the exponential gives
, where we put $t=x + \frac{b}{2a}$ and used the Gaussian integral in the last equality.


text: Blind source separation (BSS) for convolutive mixtures can be performed efficiently in the frequency domain, where independent component analysis (ICA) is applied separately in each frequency bin. To solve the permutation problem of frequency-domain BSS robustly, information regarding the number of sources is very important. This paper presents a method for estimating the number of sources from convolutive mixtures of sources. The new method estimates the power of each source or noise component by using ICA and a scaling technique to distinguish sources and noises. Also, a reverberant component can be identified by calculating the correlation of component envelopes. Experimental results for up to three sources show that the proposed method worked well in a reverberant condition whose reverberation time was 200 ms.


Using variables in BizTalk bindings in Azure DevOps
Bastien BRAILLY-VIGNAL
Category : BizTalk / DevOps / VSTS
05/10/2020
In this article, we will see how to use variables in BizTalk bindings during automatic deployments using Azure DevOps. We will also see how to have different configurations depending on the destination environment, and how to make it automatic. Lastly, we will end with a tip on managing slightly more complex bindings.

Requirements

The first step is to set up our BizTalk Server Application Project as explained in the following article: BizTalk Server Application Project : mise en place.
Next, one benefit of using variables in bindings is also the ability to do so depending on the deployment environment. Accordingly we must first, in Azure DevOps, create these different environments in Deployment groups, as shown in the example below:

Deployment groups
Using variables in bindings

Adding variables in the bindings file
In the bindings file in Visual Studio (in our example, the Bindings.xml file), this means adding variables to all the desired fields in the following way:

<SendPort Name="SndP_IAM_Employee" IsStatic="true" IsTwoWay="false" BindingOption="0" AnalyticsEnabled="false">
...
<PrimaryTransport>
<Address>$(File_Path)\%SourceFileName%</Address>
...
</SendPort>

As can be seen, it is the $(File_Path) variable in the Address field that we are interested in here.
Note that these variables can be anywhere inside an XML tag, such as a receive location, a host instance, the URI of a send port, etc.

Creating variables in Azure DevOps
Once all the desired fields have been given variables in the bindings files, they need to be created in Azure DevOps. This is done by going to the definition of your release, and selecting the Variables tab.
See the screenshot below:

Pipeline variables

It can be seen there are as many key/value rows as there are environments. That is the benefit of configuring the various deployment groups beforehand.
If your variable's value is the same in all environments, select Release as the scope.

Conclusion

And that's it, it's that easy! When the deployment is kicked off, the values will be added to the configuration file automatically.
Adding variables to the bindings file can be somewhat laborious the first time you do it, but it is definitely worth doing. There are benefits in terms of flexibility, quality, and so on. It really is a must-have in our CI/CD DevOps approach.

In more depth

It is often the case that configurations differ radically from one environment to another. There might well be a different adapter, a different pipeline, and so forth.
In this situation, the way of working described previously soon shows its limitations. We therefore use a little workaround based on XML comments. Here's how it works:
In your bindings file, you can use variables as shown below:

<SendPortCollection>
<SendPort Name="SndP_HUBRH_Employee_BDZ" IsStatic="true" IsTwoWay="false" BindingOption="0" AnalyticsEnabled="false">
...
$(Comment_If_PRD)
<PrimaryTransport>
<Address>$(File_Path)\%SourceFileName%</Address>
<TransportType Name="FILE" Capabilities="11" ConfigurationClsid="5e49e3a6-b4fc-4077-b44c-22f34a242fdb" />
...
</PrimaryTransport>
$(End_Comment_If_PRD)
$(Comment_If_TST)
$(Comment_If_QUA)
<PrimaryTransport>
<Address>$(File_Path)\%SourceFileName%</Address>
<TransportType Name="SFTP" Capabilities="523" ConfigurationClsid="f75aeff5-ebc7-4e7c-a753-fdd68ab45c95" />
...
</PrimaryTransport>
$(End_Comment_If_TST)
$(End_Comment_If_QUA)
...

Then, in the Azure DevOps Library tab, configure the following Variable groups:

Variable groups configuration

Each Variable group contains a list of variables. We further recommend using these Variable groups if you have common data items shared across different releases.
In our example, if we go into the Variable groups tab for our release, we see the following configuration:

Variable groups definition

And there you are. Simple but effective. Using this tip, XML tags are entered as comments according to the release environment.
This method can be used to manage BizTalk bindings that are very different from one environment to another.
