PHP PSR-3 Log Interface Specification
Author: bamboo06 on 2-02-2019, 17:34, views: 2185
0 The main purpose of this specification is to allow the log class library to log information in a simple and generic way by receiving a PsrLogLoggerInterface object. The framework and the CMS content management system can extend this interface if necessary, but this specification is required to ensure that the log interface can still be properly connected when using third-party class library files. This article develops a generic interface specification for the log class library.
PHP PSR-3 Log Interface Specification
The implementers in this article refer to the class libraries or frameworks that implement the LoggerInterface interface. Conversely, they are the users of LoggerInterface.

Implementation of file breakpoint resume by HTML5
Author: bamboo06 on 31-01-2019, 22:10, views: 1443
1 HTML5's FILE api has a slice method that splits the BLOB object. The front end obtains the corresponding file through the FileList object, segments the large file according to the specified splitting manner, and then passes it to the back end one by one, and then the back end then splicing the files in a sequence.
Implementation of file breakpoint resume by HTML5
At present, there are two commonly used methods for resuming breakpoints. One is to upload files through the websocket interface, and the other is through ajax. Both methods have their own advantages. Although websocket sounds more high-end, it uses different ones. The other algorithms outside the protocol are basically similar, and the server needs to open the ws interface. Here, the relatively convenient ajax is used to illustrate the idea of uploading the breakpoint.

Core.css - lightweight CSS reset and grid system
Author: bamboo06 on 31-01-2019, 22:03, views: 1047
0 Core.css is a very small CSS reset and grid system. If your project is very small, you don't need to use a large css framework such as Bootstrap. You only need less than 4kb core.css, you can have css reset. And grid systems and responsive layouts.
Core.css - lightweight CSS reset and grid system
Core.css uses a .row to represent the rows in the container. If you append a class with the largest width to it, it represents a fixed-width row, otherwise it is a full-screen row. .col represents the column in the container, which divides the width of the container into 12 columns, which is what we often call a 12-grid system. .xs-12 represents a column width of 100%. Similarly, .xs-3 represents a column width of 25% because it requires 4 .xs-3 to reach 100% of the 12 grid. Others are analogously from .xs-1 to xs-12.

https is the trend of the development of the world's websites
Author: bamboo06 on 27-11-2018, 14:27, views: 1615
0 HTTPS This is a lot of websites that are used to protect user data. It is enabled when the user logs in. More often, due to trade-offs in performance overhead, basically all data is transmitted unencrypted. Multimedia files, especially streaming media, seem to have no security problems in plain text transmission. However, they actually have very serious consequences, such as being maliciously hijacked traffic, and inserting a small advertisement on the page. The visitor also thought that this was the advertisement provided by the interviewed station. If it is a normal advertisement, it can be tolerated, but pornographic gambling false medical advertisements abound. This is certainly not a good user experience.
https is the trend of the development of the world's websites
So, in our particular environment, it's okay to focus on HTTPS, not to mention deploying HTTPS for the purpose of protecting user privacy.

Drag and Drop Drag and Drop for HTML5
Author: bamboo06 on 11-11-2018, 21:41, views: 2009
1 Drag & Drop is a common feature that grabs an object and drags it to another location. In HTML5, drag and drop is part of the standard, and any element can be dragged and dropped. In the past, we used the Mousedown, Mouseove, Mouseup and other events of the mouse to constantly acquire the coordinates of the mouse to modify the position of the element. Now the html5 native Drag & Drop event (DnD) is convenient and the performance is improved.
Internet Explorer 9+, Firefox, Opera 12, Chrome, and Safari 5 support drag and drop.

In the presented study an analysis of the irrigation regime (IR) and the obtained yield from the economic point of view was done, i.e. whether the applied irrigation regime was economically reasonable or not. The most important indicators characterizing the economic efficiency in celery production are: production (kg), production costs (lv), rate of profitability (%), production cost (lv/kg) and profit (lv/ha). The experiment was carried out in several variants under disturbed irrigation regime during 2010-2012 in the region of Plovdiv. From the economic point of view it is recommended celery to be grown under irrigation conditions and the irrigation application to be 130% ofm (optimal irrigation rate). The obtained production cost for that variant was the lowest – 0.60(lv/kg). The reduction of the irrigation rates was not profitable because with the reduction not much money could be saved. The obtained yield was vastly reduced and hence the profit per hectare as well. The profit earned under non-irrigated conditions was even negative – an amount equal to 2/3 of the spent production costs.

Frequency Analysis of Flood Damage
Additional Document Info
Determination of flood damage frequencies constitutes a fundamental component of any comprehensive flood-risk methodology. A time series of flood damage may contain zero values. Therefore, the probability distribution of damage should be derived taking into consideration these zero values. This distribution was derived using the total probability theorem (in conjunction with gamma, log-normal and Weibull distributions), order statistics, kinematic diffusion (KD) model, and the Box-Cox transformation. Flood damage frequencies determined using these methods were compared with those determined empirically for Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas in the United States. For the four southern states studied, it is found that of all three different analysis methods, the method based on the total probability theorem gave the best results for the flood damage analysis containing zero-damage, and the KD model method is not suitable for the flood damage analysis.

Hide project
You may not want to receive all notifications from your whole participated projects. For example, there's a participated project you might refer to it later, but not at the moment since you might not have specific roles in there. In this case, you can hide the project(you can search and participate in it later) and you won't be notified any updates from that project.
1. Inside of the project, choose the More(vertical ellipsis; next to the Brush icon) on the right side of the project title, and select 'Hide Project'.
2. Hidden projects can be viewed through the 'Hiding' in the Label section on the left side menu.
1. Select 'Info' in the bottom line of the project..
2. Select 'Hide'.
3. To view a hidden project, select view more(triple-lines) on the upper left corner of the main screen. Select 'Hiding'.
4. If you want to unhide the project, select 'Hiding' and go to the hidden project, then select 'Unhide' through the project information.

text: The use of information and communications technology in environment management and research has witnessed a renaissance in recent years. From optical sensor technology, expert systems, GIS and communications technologies to computer aided harvesting and yield prediction, these systems are increasable used for applications developing in the management sector of natural resources and biodiversity. This paper presents an environmental decision support system, used to monitor biodiversity and present a risk rating for the invasion of pests into the particular systems being examined. This system will utilise expert mobile technology coupled with artificial intelligence and predictive modelling, and will emphasize the potential for expansion into many areas of intelligent remote sensing and computer aided decision-making for environment management or certification. Monitoring and prediction in natural systems, harnessing the potential of computing and communication technologies is an emerging technology within the area of environmental management. This research will lead to the initiation of a hardware and software multi tier decision support system for environment management allowing an evaluation of areas for biodiversity or areas at risk from invasive species, based upon environmental factors/systems.

it means that a concurrent client
 * changed the key while we were processing it and thus
 * the execution of the MULTI command was not performed.
 *
 * NOTICE: Failing an execution of MULTI is not considered
 * an error. So you will have err === null and results === null
 */
 });
 });
 });
 The above snippet shows the correct usage of watch with multi. Every time a watched key is changed before the execution of a multi command, the execution will return null. On a normal situation, the execution will return an array of values with the results of the operations.
 As stated in the snippet, failing the execution of a multi command being watched is not considered an error. The execution may return an error if, for example, the client cannot connect to Redis.
 An example where we can see the execution of a multi command fail is as follows:
 const clients = {
 watcher: redis.createClient(),
 modifier: redis.createClient(),
 };

 clients.watcher.watch("foo", function(watchError) {
 if (watchError) throw watchError;

 // if you comment out the next line, the transaction will work
 clients.modifier.set("foo", Math.random(), setError => {
 if (setError) throw setError;
 });

 // using a setTimeout here to ensure that the MULTI/EXEC will come after the SET.
 // Normally, you would use a callback to ensure order, but I want the above SET command
 // to be easily comment-out-able.
 setTimeout(function() {
 clients.watcher
 .multi()
 .set("foo", "bar")
 .set("hello", "world")
 .exec((multiExecError, results) => {
 if (multiExecError) throw multiExecError;

 if (results === null) {
 console.log("transaction aborted because results were null");
 } else {
 console.log("transaction worked and returned", results);
 }

 clients.watcher.quit();
 clients.modifier.quit();
 });
 }, 1000);
 });
 WATCH limitations
 Redis WATCH works only on whole key values. For example, with WATCH you can watch a hash for modifications, but you cannot watch a specific field of a hash.
 The following example would watch the keys foo and hello, not the field hello of hash foo:
 const redis = require("redis");

 const client = redis.createClient();

 client.hget("foo", "hello", function(hashGetError, result) {
 if (hashGetError) throw hashGetError;

 //Do some processing with the value from this field and watch it after

 client.watch("foo", "hello", function(watchError) {
 if (watchError) throw watchError;

 /**
 * This is now watching the keys 'foo' and 'hello'. It is not
 * watching the field 'hello' of hash 'foo'. Because the key 'foo'
 * refers to a hash, this command is now watching the entire hash
 * for modifications.
 */
 });
 });
 This limitation also applies to sets (you can not watch individual set members) and any other collections.
 client.batch([commands])
 Identical to .multi() without transactions. This is recommended if you want to execute many commands at once but don't need to rely on transactions.
 BATCH commands are queued up until an EXEC is issued, and then all commands are run atomically by Redis. The interface returns an individual Batch object by calling client.batch(). The only difference between .batch and .multi is that no transaction is going to be used. Be aware that the errors are - just like in multi statements - in the result. Otherwise both, errors and results could be returned at the same time.
 If you fire many commands at once this is going to boost the execution speed significantly compared to firing the same commands in a loop without waiting for the result! See the benchmarks for further comparison. Please remember that all commands are kept in memory until they are fired.
 Monitor mode
 Redis supports the MONITOR command, which lets you see all commands received by the Redis server across all client connections, including from other client libraries and other computers.
 A monitor event is going to be emitted for every command fired from any client connected to the server including the monitoring client itself. The callback for the monitor event takes a timestamp from the Redis server, an array of command arguments and the raw monitoring string.
 Example:
 const redis = require("redis");
 const client = redis.createClient();

 client.monitor(function(err, res) {
 console.log("Entering monitoring mode.");
 });

 client.set("foo", "bar");

 client.on("monitor", function(time, args, rawReply) {
 console.log(time + ": " + args); // _PHONE_.446514:['set', 'foo', 'bar']
 });
 Extras
 Some other things you might find useful.
 client.server_info
 After the ready probe completes, the results from the INFO command are saved in the client.server_info object.
 The versions key contains an array of the elements of the version string for easy comparison.
 > client.server_info.redis_version
 '2.3.0'
 > client.server_info.versions
 [ 2, 3, 0 ]

 redis.print()
 A handy callback function for displaying return values when testing. Example:
 const redis = require("redis");
 const client = redis.createClient();

 client.on("connect", function() {
 client.set("foo", "bar", redis.print); // => "Reply: OK"
 client.get("foo", redis.print); // => "Reply: bar"
 client.quit();
 });
 Multi-word commands
 To execute redis multi-word commands like SCRIPT LOAD or CLIENT LIST pass the second word as first parameter:
 client.script("load", "return 1");

 client
 .multi()
 .script("load", "return 1")
 .exec();

 client.multi([["script", "load", "return 1"]]).exec();
 client.duplicate([options][, callback])
 Duplicate all current options and return a new redisClient instance. All options passed to the duplicate function are going to replace the original option. If you pass a callback, duplicate is going to wait until the client is ready and returns it in the callback. If an error occurs in the meanwhile, that is going to return an error instead in the callback.
 One example of when to use duplicate() would be to accommodate the connection- blocking redis commands BRPOP, BLPOP, and BRPOPLPUSH. If these commands are used on the same Redis client instance as non-blocking commands, the non-blocking ones may be queued up until after the blocking ones finish.
 Another reason to use duplicate() is when multiple DBs on the same server are accessed via the redis SELECT command. Each DB could use its own connection.
 client.sendCommand(command_name[, [args][, callback]])
 All Redis commands have been added to the client object. However, if new commands are introduced before this library is updated or if you want to add individual commands you can use sendCommand() to send arbitrary commands to Redis.
 All commands are sent as multi-bulk commands. args can either be an Array of arguments, or omitted / set to undefined.
 redis.addCommand(command_name)
 Calling addCommand will add a new command to the prototype. The exact command name will be used when calling using this new command. Using arbitrary arguments is possible as with any other command.
 client.connected
 Boolean tracking the state of the connection to the Redis server.
 client.command_queue_length
 The number of commands that have been sent to the Redis server but not yet replied to. You can use this to enforce some kind of maximum queue depth for commands while connected.
 client.offline_queue_length
 The number of commands that have been queued up for a future connection. You can use this to enforce some kind of maximum queue depth for pre-connection commands.
 Commands with Optional and Keyword arguments
 This applies to anything that uses an optional [WITHSCORES] or [LIMIT offset count] in the _URL_ documentation.
 Example
 const args = ["myzset", 1, "one", 2, "two", 3, "three", 99, "ninety-nine"];

 client.zadd(args, function(addError, addResponse) {
 if (addError) throw addError;
 console.log("added " + addResponse + " items.");

 // -Infinity

Weak-field laser phase modulation coherent control of asymptotic photofragment distributions
Coherent control of the asymptotic photofragment state-resolved distributions by means of laser phase modulation in the weak-field limit is demonstrated computationally for a polyatomic molecule. The control scheme proposed applies a pump laser field consisting of two pulses delayed in time. Phase modulation of the spectral bandwidth profile of the laser field is achieved by varying the time delay between the pulses. The underlying equations show that such a phase modulation is effective in order to produce control effects on the asymptotic, long-time limit photofragment distributions only when the bandwidths of the two pulses overlap in a frequency range. The frequency overlap of the pulses gives rise to an interference term which is responsible for the modulation of the spectral profile shape. The magnitude of the range of spectral overlap between the pulses becomes an additional control parameter. The control scheme is illustrated computationally for the asymptotic photofragment state distributions produced from different scenarios of the Ne–Br2 predissociation. An experimental application of the control scheme is found to be straightforward.


Calculating different Vegetation Indices in Google Earth Engine (Sentinel -2 images)
Calculating different Vegetation Indices in Google Earth Engine (Sentinel -2 images)
In previous post, I have published the article for EVI and NDVI calculation from sentinel 2 image on Google earth engine (GEE) platform. In this article, I will be showing how various vegetation indices can be computed on GEE platforms and can be added to image collection. So, let's dive into various vegatation indices directly.
Greenness (Green Leaf Index)
The Green Leaf Index, also known as the Greenness Index, shows how the reflectance in the green channel compares to the other two visible wavelengths (red and blue).
The formula for calculation of GLI is:
 GLI = (2*GRN-RED-BLU)/(RED+GRN+BLU)
 - GRN pixel values from the GREEN band
 - RED pixel values from the RED band
 - BLU pixel values from the BLUE band
The lower the greenness index, the higher the green reflection relative to the other wavelengths. A result of -1 indicates that the green channel is fully reflected, but the remaining two wavelengths (red and blue) are not.
# GLI (Green Leaf Index)
def getGLI(image):
 # Compute the GLI using an expression.
 GLI = image.expression ('(((GREEN - RED) + (GREEN - BLUE)) / ((2 * GREEN) + RED + BLUE))', {
 'GREEN': image.select ('B3'),
 'RED': image.select ('B4'),
 'BLUE': image.select ('B2')
 }).rename("GLI")
 image = image.addBands(GLI)
 return(image)

Leaf Area Index (LAI)
The leaf area index (LAI), equal to half of the total green leaf area per unit of the horizontal ground surface, is a crucial structural feature of vegetation. Canopy interception, evapotranspiration, and gross photosynthesis are directly related to LAI since leaf surfaces constitute the primary frontier of energy and mass exchange.
This index is used to forecast crop growth and yield and estimate foliage cover. ENVI calculates green LAI using the empirical formula developed by Boegh et al. (2002):
LAI = (3.618*EVI - 0.118)
 - EVI is Enhanced Vegetation Index value. Details for calculation of EVI is here in my previous post
LAI values in the high range typically vary from 0 to 3.5. The LAI values can approach 3.5 when the scene comprises clouds and other bright objects that cause saturated pixels. Before making an LAI image, you should mask clouds and bright features from your scene.
Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI):
In places with little vegetative cover, SAVI is used to compensate for the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) due to the influence of soil brightness. Using a soil-brightness adjustment factor, SAVI seeks to reduce soil brightness impacts. It produces values between -1.0 to 1.0. SAVI is commonly used in arid locations with little vegetative cover. SAVI obtained from surface reflectance is calculated as a ratio of R and NIR values with a soil brightness correction factor (L) of 0.5 to account for most land cover types.
SAVI = ((NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red + L)) x (1 + L)
 - NIR = pixel values from the NEAR INFRARED band
 - Red = pixel values from the RED band
 - L = amount of green vegetation cover
# SAVI (Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index)
def getSAVI(image):
 # Compute the SAVI using an expression.
 SAVI = image.expression ('(((NIR - RED) / (NIR + RED + L))* (1+L))',{
 'L': 0.5, # Cobertura vegetation 0-1
 'NIR': image.select ('B8'),
 'RED': image.select ('B4')
 }).rename("SAVI")

 image = image.addBands(SAVI)
 return(image)
Green Chlorophyll Index (GCI )
Based on near-infrared and green bands, the GCI (Green Chlorophyll Index) quantifies leaf chlorophyll concentration in plants. The chlorophyll value, in general, reflects the vegetation.
 the formula for the GCI:
GCI = NIR / GRN – 1
 - GRN = pixel values from the green band
 - NIR = pixel values from the near infrared band
# GCI (Green Chlorophyll Index)
def getGCI(image):
 # Compute the GCI using an expression.
 GCI = image.expression ('(((NIR) / (GREEN)) - 1)', {
 'NIR': image.select ('B8'),
 'GREEN': image.select ('B3')
 }).rename("GCI")

 image = image.addBands(GCI)
 return(image)

SIPI (Structure Insensitive Pigment Index)
The SIPI index maximizes sensitivity to the bulk carotenoids to chlorophyll ratio while reducing the impact of canopy structural variation. It's especially effective in locations where the canopy structure, or leaf area index, is highly variable.
SIPI readings vary from 0 to 2, with healthy green vegetation falling between 0.8 and 1.8.
# SIPI (Structure Insensitive Pigment Index)
def getSIPI(image):
 # Compute the SIPI using an expression.
 SIPI = image.expression ('((NIR - BLUE) / (NIR - RED))',{
 'NIR': image.select ('B8'),
 'BLUE': image.select ('B2'),
 'RED': image.select ('B4')
 }).rename("SIPI")

 image = image.addBands(SIPI)
 return(image)
ARVI (Atmospherically Resistant Vegetation Index)
ARVI is especially useful in areas with high levels of atmospheric aerosols. It corrects for air scattering phenomena that affect red light reflectance using blue light reflectance data.

The formula in general:
ARVI = (NIR - RED - y * (RED - BLUE))/ (NIR + RED - y*(RED-BLUE))
 - NIR = pixel values from the NEAR INFRARED band
 - RED = pixel values from the RED band
 - BLUE = pixel values from the BLUE band

ARVI values vary from -1 to 1, with green vegetation typically falling between 0.20 and 0.80.
# ARVI (Atmospherically Resistant Vegetation Index)
def getARVI(image):
 # Compute the ARVI using an expression.
 ARVI = image.expression ('((NIR - (2 * RED) + BLUE) / (NIR + (2 * RED) + BLUE))',{
 'NIR': image.select ('B8'),
 'BLUE': image.select ('B2'),
 'RED': image.select ('B4')
 }).rename("ARVI")

 image = image.addBands(ARVI)
 return(image)
NBRI (Normalized Burned Ratio Index)
NBR is used to determine burn intensity and identify burned areas. It is traditionally calculated as a ratio between the NIR and SWIR values.
Given that vegetation reflects significantly in the NIR portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Still, poorly in the SWIR, the NIR and SWIR parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are a powerful combination of bands to utilize for this index. A fire scar that incorporates scarred woody plant and ground, on the other hand, has been demonstrated to reflect more strongly in the SWIR region of the electromagnetic spectrum and beyond.
# NBRI (Normalized Burned Ratio Index)
def getNBRI(image):
 # Compute the NBRI using an expression.
 NBRI = image.expression ('(NIR - SWIR) / (NIR + SWIR)', {
 'NIR': image.select ('B8'),
 'SWIR': image.select ('B12')
 }).rename("NBRI")

 image = image.addBands(NBRI)
 return(image)

These indices are created as a functions in python. Now we will move on to implement this in jupyter-lab environment and apply for image collections.
Sentinel_data = ee.ImageCollection('COPERNICUS/S2') \
 .filterDate("2022-03-01","2022-03-31").filterBounds(aoi) \
 .map(getNBRI).median()
In this case i have calculated NBRI (Normalized Burned Ratio Index) but you can change the function as per your required indices or you can add multiple calculation by adding .map(getARVI) in above expression. We now add visulaization parameters and add layers to map as follow:
color = ['FFFFFF', 'CE7E45', 'DF923D', 'F1B555', 'FCD163', '99B718',
 '74A901', '66A000'

13.9: How Do You Spell [k]?
Difficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12
How Do You Spell [k]?
1. The sound [k] is spelled many different ways. Underline the letters that you think are spelling [k] in the following words. Then write the letters that spell [k] in the blanks. You should find that [k] is spelled eleven different ways!
Word [k] = Word [k] =
zodiac acquired
remarkable khan
equally saccharine
hockey bookcase
schemer trekkie
accommodations
2. In spite of all these different spellings of [k], more than nine times out of ten [k] will be spelled either , , or . And we can usually predict which of these three spellings to choose. Underline the letters that spell [k] at the beginning of each of the following words:
& \text{\underline{c}ounterfeit} && \text{\underline{k}itchen} && \text{\underline{c}rime} && \text{\underline{c}ommunity} \\& \text{\underline{c}alculate} && \text{\underline{c}ritical} && \text{\underline{k}indly} && \text{\underline{c}limate} \\& \text{\underline{c}ondemn} && \text{\underline{c}ampaign} && \text{\underline{c}ongress} && \text{\underline{c}apital} \\& \text{\underline{k}ey} && \text{\underline{c}linic} && \text{\underline{k}ettle} && \text{\underline{c}onscience}
3. Sort the sixteen words into these two groups:
Words in which [k] is spelled...

key counterfeit crime
kitchen calculate congress
kindly condemn community
kettle critical climate
campaign capital
clinic conscience
4. Underline the letter that comes right after the or in each of the sixteen words above. Then sort the words into this matrix:
Words in which [k] is spelled...

Words with an <\mathrm{i}> or right after the [k]
Words with no <\mathrm{i}> or right after the [k]
5. In each of these words is there a [k] sound at the beginning of the word, in the middle, or at the end? At the beginning
6. You should have seen that each time a word starts with [k] with an <\mathrm{i}> or right after it, the [k] is spelled . Otherwise, [k] at the beginning of a word is spelled . Have you ever seen a word begin with ? No If you saw one, like maybe , wouldn't it look odd? Yes
7. At the beginning of a word, [k] is never spelled ; it is usually spelled or . If the [k] has an <\mathrm{i}> or an right after it, it is usually spelled ; otherwise, it is usually spelled .
Teaching Notes.
Item 7. The usually's in this conclusion are important in two ways:
1. As the students have already seen, [k] can be spelled several different ways, and this conclusion only speaks of those words that have an initial [k] that is spelled either or . It says nothing yet about words like queen or chrome, in which initial [k] is spelled some way other than or . This lesson and the following are concerned only with sorting out , , and , which are far and away the most common spellings of [k].
2. There are a number of words, though very few that are commonly used, that have initial [k] spelled with something other than the , <\mathrm{i}>, or following that the conclusion calls for. In most cases they are quite recent adoptions that still reflect the spelling patterns of their source languages: kangaroo (Australian), kayak (Eskimo), kona (Hawaiian). Some are from Greek and still have the Greek kappa translated as : kaleidoscope, krypton. Kleptomania, also Greek, has the more regular spelling cleptomania. Krypton has the same Greek base as cryptic and crypt but retains the older spelling with , probably because it is used only in technical language (and, of course, Superman), and technical language tends to be conservative in its treatment of words and their spelling. Kaleidoscope is somewhat similar: The Greek base kal(l)- means "beautiful" and is appears, with a different, and more regular, spelling, in such words as calligraphy and callisthenics.
For more on the spelling of [k], see AES, pp. 355-72.

What Does Red Nail Polish Mean?
Red nail polish has a timeless allure that can be traced back to the ancient world, where it was used as a symbol of power and prestige.
In Ancient Egypt, red nails were a bold fashion statement flaunted by the pharaohs to display their wealth and status. Similarly, in China, red nail polish was reserved exclusively for the elite and represented dominance and affluence.
The color red is often associated with passion, love, and energy, as well as peril, fury, and caution. It can also be linked to good fortune and luck in some cultures or embodied as wickedness or allure in others. Wearing a bold red nail polish can convey self-assurance, fearlessness, and a desire for the spotlight, as well as confidence and boldness.
What does red nail polish mean TikTok?
Red nail polish has taken the world of TikTok by storm with the "red nail theory"! TikTok creator Robyn Delmonte, known as @GirlBossTown, coined the term, which suggests that wearing red nail polish makes you more attractive to potential suitors. While it lacks scientific evidence, this theory has sparked a frenzy on social media, with users eagerly experimenting with different shades of red to test its validity.
Red is considered a bold and confident color that commands attention, and the "red nail theory" is all about harnessing that energy to stand out from the crowd. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, it's fascinating to see how this trend has captured the attention of millions of TikTok users and has become a hot topic of conversation on various social media platforms.
So why not try it out and see for yourself if red nail polish is the secret to grabbing attention and boosting your confidence!
What Does Red Nail Polish Say About You?
Oh, the allure of red nail polish! It's no secret that the color red is associated with passion, love, and energy. But did you know that wearing red nail polish can also reveal a lot about your personality? Individuals who opt for red nail polish are often perceived as confident, bold, and assertive. These traits are often associated with individuals who are go-getters and not afraid to take charge.
Moreover, individuals who wear red nail polish may also be perceived as extroverted, outgoing, and sociable. They are the life of the party, radiating a sense of energy that's hard to ignore. If you're someone who wants to stand out from the crowd, rocking a bold red nail polish may just be the way to go!
On the flip side, some people may perceive individuals wearing red nail polish as attention-seeking or trying too hard to be noticed. However, this largely depends on the context in which the red nail polish is being worn. Ultimately, the perception of individuals wearing red nail polish can vary depending on personal beliefs and cultural norms. Nonetheless, there's no denying that wearing red nail polish can make a bold statement about your personality and sense of style.
What Does Red Nail Polish Mean to Guys?
When it comes to red nail polish and what it means to guys, the perception is overwhelmingly positive. Men tend to view women who wear red nail polish as confident, bold, and full of personality. This classic color exudes a sense of power and self-assurance that can instantly catch a guy's attention. In fact, a study conducted by the cosmetics brand Sally Hansen found that red was the most attractive nail color to men out of all the other shades.
The impact of red nail polish on attraction and confidence cannot be overstated. A bold red hue on your nails can boost your confidence and make you feel more alluring and captivating. It can even make you more approachable to potential suitors. Not only that, but red nail polish has been known to give a polished and sophisticated look that can leave a lasting impression on those around you.
Is Red Nail Polish Considered Trashy?
Red nail polish has long been subjected to unwarranted criticism and stigma, often being labelled as "trashy" or "cheap." However, it's time to debunk this stereotype and acknowledge the beauty and power of this classic hue. Red nail polish has a timeless allure and is a staple in any nail polish collection.
The notion that red nail polish is "trashy" is a baseless social stigma that has unfairly been placed on women who choose to wear it. This stereotype is rooted in outdated beliefs that associate the colour red with sexual promiscuity or low-class behaviour. However, this perception couldn't be further from the truth.
In reality, red nail polish is a bold and confident choice that has been embraced by fashion icons and celebrities alike. It exudes a sense of strength, power, and sex appeal. From Marilyn Monroe to Taylor Swift, countless powerful and successful women have rocked red nails, breaking down the stereotype that it's only for those who lack taste or class.
At the end of the day, the choice to wear red nail polish is a matter of personal preference and style. It's time to ditch the unfounded stigma and embrace the beauty and confidence that comes with rocking a bold red shade.
Is Red Nail Polish Right for Me?
Well, fear not, as we've got you covered! There are several factors to consider before making the leap into the world of red nails. Firstly, it's important to assess your personal style and comfort level with bold, attention-grabbing colors. Red nail polish is a classic and timeless choice that can elevate any outfit, but it may not be for everyone.
Another consideration is skin tone, as certain shades of red may complement different complexions more effectively than others. For example, individuals with fair skin may prefer cooler-toned reds, while those with darker skin may find warmer-toned reds to be more flattering. Additionally, it's important to think about the occasion and environment in which you'll be wearing the nail polish. A bright red hue may be too bold for a conservative workplace, but perfect for a night out on the town.
If you're not quite ready to take the plunge into the world of red nail polish, there are alternative options to consider. A sheer red tint can provide a subtle pop of color without being too overwhelming, while a darker burgundy shade can offer a more muted take on the classic red nail. Ultimately, the decision to wear red nail polish comes down to personal preference and comfort, so don't be afraid to experiment and find what works best for you!

What does red nail polish mean sexually?
While the meaning of red nail polish may vary depending on cultural and personal factors, it is undeniable that the color has long been associated with passion and sexuality. For centuries, red has been linked to the concept of desire, and its alluring quality is what makes it a popular choice for seduction. In fact, many men find women wearing red nail polish to be particularly enticing, as it can serve as a clear signal of a woman's readiness to attract a partner.
The idea that red nail polish is a symbol of sexual availability has been reinforced in popular culture, from Hollywood films to fashion magazines. The color red has also been linked to the concept of the "scarlet woman" or "harlot," further perpetuating its connection with sexuality.
However, it's important to note that a woman's choice of nail color does not determine her sexual availability or behavior

Community puppet theatre – Flood Resilience
The community puppet theatre was used as a participatory alternative method to strengthen flood resilience in Tabasco, Mexico. This creative approach allowed to communicate disaster risk reduction information in a humorous and different way, which children and adults can easily relate to. The theatre spreads knowledge but also promotes social cohesion and organization in the community.
The Flood Resilience Alliance (2013 -2017) is a five-year partnership that set out to develop a model that would deliver effective community flood resilience programmes at scale and contribute to shaping the flood resilience agenda of policy-makers and donors.

Example 1: Q0h313th@pico-2019-shelll1:~$
The dollar sign in example 1 indicates you're running your commands as a standard user and need elevated permissions for certain commands. When you use

The Real Reason Oranges Are Sold In Red Mesh Bags
Just because you don't see commercials for oranges on TV doesn't mean that they aren't being expertly marketed to you. According to HuffPost, the way food looks is extremely important, and in fact, it's a billion-dollar business. Essentially, foods need to look tasty, no matter what you're selling. This means lots of research has gone into making everything about the store as profitable as it can be. Everything from where products are placed on shelves to food packaging is all designed to pull you in.
Oranges, in particular, generally come in distinctive red mesh bags, and this was not a random decision on the part of the grocery industry. As it turns out, color is one of the most effective tools that the markets have. In fact, a study found that companies can use colors to "increase or decrease appetite, enhance mood, calm down customers, and reduce perception of waiting time" (via Emerald Insight).
So, which of these does the red bag do?
Selling oranges in red bags has to do with color theory
The red bag actually makes the oranges look, well, orange. If you think about it, the brighter orange an orange or tangerine looks, the riper we interpret it to be. A yellow orange can be instantly written off as unripe. That's the theory behind the red bag — by placing the thin, overlapping lines of red mesh over the oranges, they appear to be less yellow and more orange in color, which makes us interpret them as being of a higher-quality (via Mental Floss). This means you're more likely to purchase a whole bag of oranges than, say, just a few that are stacked by themselves (since those won't look as bright), which in turn means more money for the supermarket.
It's so effective that if you were to put some lemons in the same red mesh bag, they would appear much more orange. This is also why lemons are usually sold in yellow or green mesh bags — to make them look as yellow and green as possible, respectively (via Reader's Digest).
How to see beyond the red mesh bag when buying oranges
What does all this mean for your buying decisions? After all, it's one thing to know the red bag secret, but how can you really tell which oranges are the ripest if the color can't be trusted?
Buying local and organic is always a good way to beat the system and ensure high-quality produce. If you can't make it to the farmers market, though, there are still a few tricks you can use. Taste of Home recommends squeezing the fruits to look for firmness, "heft" (the heavier they are, the more juice they contain), and a thinner skin to suss out the sweetest oranges. There should be a smoothness to the rind and no obvious soft spots. Finally, don't forget to stock up between mid-winter and early spring to get oranges in season.

Midtown Manhattan's Lever House marked a watershed in U.S. architecture when completed in 1952. Located on the west side of Park Avenue between 53rd and 54th Streets, the corporate headquarters, with its facade made of blue-green glass and stainless steel mullions, was one of the first glass-walled International Style office buildings in the country. Within a decade of its construction, the initial enthusiasm for Lever House gave way to a universal recognition of its pivotal importance to American architecture. In 1982, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Lever House an official landmark.
The structure consists of two intersecting masses, balanced in their proportions but contrasting in shape. A two-story horizontal block containing an open court occupies the entire site with a 21-story tower located on the north. The columns and the ground floor court create a large open plaza allowing entrances to the lobby to be located away from pedestrian traffic. Inside, the typical floor is characterized by large, open office areas with easy access to individual offices, and service cores at the western end.

Lincoln Park is Portland's first publicly-owned green space: the city bought the burnt-out 2½-acre parcel of land the park sits on after the Great Fire of 1866 leveled much of the area. Originally intended merely to serve as a firebreak, Lincoln Park soon became a cultural hub of the city. Citizens and visitors both enjoyed the park's refreshing fountain and shady elm trees, which provided solace and relaxation in the center of the city. Postcards of Lincoln Park were common souvenirs of visitors to Portland. For decades, a farmers' market was held in the park every Saturday morning from early spring to late fall as children splashed in the fountain.
By the 1960s, disease had destroyed Portland's iconic elm trees, and Lincoln Park's towering shade trees were not spared. In 1970, a quarter of the park was torn up to make way for the widening of Franklin Arterial. Pedestrians coming from Portland's India Street and Munjoy Hill neighborhoods were thus cut off from the rest of the city – and from the park.
The years passed, and the park languished – its pavement crumbling and unsafe, its Parisian fountain broken, its wrought-iron fences rusted, bent, and broken. Despite being next door to both City Hall and the Cumberland County Courthouse, the park decayed into a place people walked quickly past, or ignored altogether.
But, things are looking up! We have recently completed Phase I of our Master Plan for restoring Lincoln Park – the fountain has been restored, the walkways have been repaved, and the park now has electricity for the first time in its history. There's still plenty more to do as we move on to Phase II! You can read more about the restoration plans here.

Algebraic Cryptography Center
Department Director Alexei Miasnikov founded the Algebraic Cryptography Center (ACC) to investigate new techniques from computational algebra and their applications to practical problems in cryptography and cryptanalysis.
The ACC facilitates interdisciplinary research on foundational problems of cryptography and cybersecurity in collaboration with associate members at other institutions throughout the world. The center investigates unique applications of mathematical algorithms that may be used to facilitate security in quantum computing systems – an integral blending of both computer science and mathematics in pursuit of a greater goal. According to ACC director Robert Gilman, "If a technology such as a quantum computer suddenly gains the power to solve hard problems much more quickly, many of the crypto-systems that have become a vital part of global infrastructure will become insecure...we have to be able to ask, 'To what extent can we prove a crypto-system is secure?' And we need to be able to find an answer."
"Everything in the field of quantum computing and cryptographic mathematics is wide open," says Dr. Miasnikov. "There remain fundamental mathematical questions that affect the very nature of current and future cryptographic methods. These not only present challenging and exciting opportunities for researchers such as myself, but offer an exceptional chance for students to participate in this groundbreaking field."
The main research themes of the ACC are:
- Cryptanalysis of public key cryptosystems based on algebraic problems.
- Theoretical development of generic complexity.
- Application of generic complexity to the problem of testing the security of cryptosystems.
The Center sponsors a number of seminars, lectures, and visitors. It is currently located in Room 380 in the Kidde Building. The Algebra & Cryptography Seminar, jointly sponsored with the CUNY Graduate Center, meets on Fridays.

How to draw a cartoon bowling ball
The best way to draw a cartoon bowling ball is not necessarily by playing this amusing activity. You just need to draw a circle and add a couple of holes! But in this tutorial, you will learn how to draw a simple ball with subtle, but effective reflection. Are you ready to draw?
Start your illustration by sketching a big and round circle.
Next, add the three holes on the ball using smaller circles. The one on the bottom should be a little bit lower than the other two circles.
Continue working on the ball by sketching small shadows inside each hole. We want to add a little depth to our illustration to make it look more enjoyable.
Finally, add a big shadow on your bowling ball by drawing a semi-circle on the top right section of the object.
Color your ball in black and add some grey tones to the shadows inside each hole (and on the one on top of the ball).
Finish your drawing by adding some subtle shadows effect to it! Very nice! With a perfect bowling ball like this one, you should be able to play a perfect game the next time you play bowling! Enjoy!

Wish List and Known Issues
There are still some issues with the application, and some desirable improvements which I hope I'll be correcting soon:
 - It would be great to have an exam definition editor. I'm planning to make one with WPF and publish it in a new article.
 - In the database model, the user is not linked to the exam definition in any way. It would be nice to have a schedule so that you could assign different exams to different users, control exam availability, validity periods, etc.
 - Sometimes the application doesn't properly stop the YouTube audio from playing while switching from one question to another.
 - I had some issues while passing the ExamDef entity from the Silvelight SaveExamTake method, and that's why I used transfer objects to pass data. Although it's not a critical problem, it would be nice and cleaner if I used only Entity Framework entities in those communications.
Final Considerations
I hope you have enjoyed this little application as much as the article. Feedbacks, please! Please tell me what you think of it, and please feel free to write about your complaints, suggestions, and advices.

Replace a String
To replace a string in files, add the ninth and tenth line to our tutorial macro:
[JavaScript]
document.selection.Text = "EmEditor supports macros.";
document.selection.NewLine();
document.selection.Text = "\tEmEditor is a text editor.";
document.selection.CharLeft( false, 12 );
document.selection.DeleteLeft( 15 );
document.selection.CharRight( true, 9 );
document.selection.ChangeCase( eeCaseUpperCase );
if( document.selection.Find( "Em", eeFindPrevious ) ) alert( "Found!" );
n = document.selection.Replace( "editor", "######", eeReplaceAll );
alert( n + " strings found!" );
[VBScript]
document.selection.Text = "EmEditor supports macros."
document.selection.NewLine
document.selection.Text = Chr(9) & "EmEditor is a text editor."
document.selection.CharLeft False, 12
document.selection.DeleteLeft 15
document.selection.CharRight True, 9
document.selection.ChangeCase eeCaseLowerCase
If document.selection.Find( "Em", eeFindPrevious ) Then alert "Found!"
n = document.selection.Replace( "editor", "######", eeReplaceAll )
alert n & " strings found!"
Save the above macro and run it in a new EmEditor Window. Notice that two of the string "editor" has been searched case-insensitively and replaced with the string "######", and then a message box with the text " Two strings found!" is displayed.
The first argument of the Replace Method specifies the string to search for, the second argument specifies the string to replace with, and the third argument specifies a combination of flags. The method returns the number of strings that have been replaced. If you specify eeReplaceAll in the third argument, the method will replace the string at once and thus might return a number more than 1. See the argument explanations of the Replace Method for more details on flags for the third argument.
Normally in the Replace Method, similar to the Find Method, the execution of a macro is not terminated when the search string is not found. There is an exception, however. If you execute a macro with the Stop if Search Fails check box selected by selecting the Run with Temporary Options command under the Macro menu and bringing up the Macro Temporary Options dialog box, the execution of the macro is terminated when the search string is not found. See Find a String in our tutorial for more details.

This is The Rock
The mission of the Rock Ethics Institute is to promote ethical literacy and catalyze ethical leadership throughout the Penn State community and to foster interdisciplinary ethics research designed to address significant social issues and pressing world problems.
Our aspiration is that students, faculty, and community members—Meet the challenge. Stand up. Make a difference.
We are an Institute "without walls:"
- We serve the entire Pennsylvania State University and collaborate with all Colleges and academic units to integrate ethics throughout the Penn State curriculum and to provide resources that support ethically responsible research in all disciplines;
- The Institute supports and promotes a deeply interdisciplinary approach to ethics research. Our goal is to embed ethical analyses into interdisciplinary research topics paying special attention to achieving this aim through embedded ethics research in science and engineering;
- Underscoring the importance of exchanges between the University and broader communities, we work to raise awareness of the ethical dimensions of pressing social problems within the larger public, as well as supporting policy-makers and other stakeholders by providing resources for ethically informed responses to pressing world problems.
Guiding the work of the Rock Ethics Institute is our commitment to ethical literacy, which we define as:
- the ability to identify ethical problems and to recognize the complex issues that they raise; and
- the ability to evaluate ethical problems from multiple perspectives and to assess disagreements about, and proposed responses to, these problems.
The Rock Ethics Institute aims to help people better understand the different cultural contexts of ethical problems, disagreements, and solutions. We believe that in today's world, ethical literacy is essential to being active, informed citizens, and to living vibrant professional and personal lives.
Through education, research, and outreach, we catalyze ethically informed scholarship, promote ethical literacy, and encourage ethical decision-making at Penn State and beyond.
- Education: We encourage the ongoing development of curricular units and innovative courses on theoretical and practical issues in ethics for use by Penn State faculty and the broader community. Our events and workshops support ethically informed research across the disciplines and aim to ensure that every student inherits a legacy of ethical integrity and ethical leadership as part of their Penn State education.
- Research: By embedding ethics into multiple research domains we positively impact scholarship and provide ethically informed decision support resources to help solve complex social problems. Further, by introducing ethical literacy into research and policy, we strive to foreground ethics in professional and public dialogue.
- Outreach: We support local, national, and international projects that promote general ethical awareness by working with community and public leaders through a variety of outreach activities. We also highlight examples of individuals who have demonstrated courage, fortitude, and ethical leadership, and provide educational resources to increase ethical literacy, both locally and globally.

The Land of Whirlpools (渦の国, Uzu no Kuni; Viz "Land of Eddies") is where the Uzumaki clan originates from. It no longer exists, having been destroyed and the rest of the survivors scattered across the world. The surname Uzumaki was very common in this country.[1] It was located on an island off of the coast of the Land of Fire.
Main article: Uzushiogakure Uzushiogakure (渦潮隠れの里, Uzushiogakure no Sato; English TV "Hidden Eddy Village"; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Whirling Tides") was the shinobi village of the Land of Whirlpools. Its ninja were renowned for their fūinjutsu to the point that it led to its destruction in war.[2] Those who survived the village's destruction scattered across the globe to seek refuge.[3]
 - "Uzumaki" means "spiral" or "whirlpool".

EBHB received funding from the North Valley Community Foundation (NVCF) through the Aaron Rodgers NorCal Recovery Fund to coordinate planning and programming to reduce youth and adult trauma through an increase in sports and physical activity as post-disaster intervention strategies.
The following were the overall project goals and objectives:
Goal 1: Build Healthy Community Initiatives through collaboration and an integrated approach to increase physical activity as an intervention to reduce youth and adult trauma post-disaster.
Goal 2: Implement place-based recovery strategies to facilitate increasing sports, recreation, play, physical activity and create health-enhancing community infrastructure.
Objective 1: Create a Health, Wellness, Physical Activity Task Force comprised of stakeholders in health and wellness, education and sports to build healthy community initiatives addressing long-term recovery.
Objective 2: Identify/coordinate needs, goals, and activities of regional stakeholders in health, education, and youth sports to address trauma reduction post-Camp Fire.
Objective 3: Develop an implementation plan for supporting models and space for healthy communities, including sports and physical activity as post disaster interventions.
The Health, Wellness, and Physical Activity Task Force was formed in August 2019. The Task Force was comprised of stakeholders in health and wellness, education and sports to build healthy community initiatives addressing long-term recovery.
Overview of Task Force:
- 16 different organizations
- 40 individuals participating in meetings
- As word of Task Force and purpose spread, new individuals and organizations have joined
- Three Task Force meetings –
- August 28, 2019,
- October 15, 2019,
- January 15, 2020 – agreed to continue meeting.
One of the goals was to develop an implementation plan for supporting models and space for healthy communities, including sports and physical activity as post disaster interventions.
The Task Force recommended that EBHB assume a leadership role in a public awareness campaign with common messaging around the role of physical activity as a vehicle for trauma reduction. The Public Awareness Campaign would also highlight the 8 Plays from Project Play.
The Task Force embraces the National Recreation and Park ProgramRX for Play/Parks and recommended implementation.
The following diagram represents the work of the Task Force.

4.8.1 Conditionalized Code
This section describes how to conditionalize OpenVMS code when migrating to I64. This code will be compiled for both Alpha and I64, or for VAX, Alpha, and I64. The symbol ALPHA, referred to in the following sections, is new. However, the symbol EVAX has not been eliminated. You do not need to replace EVAX with ALPHA but feel free to do so if convenient. The architecture symbols available for MACRO and BLISS are VAX, EVAX, ALPHA, and I64. MACRO Sources
For Macro-32 source files, the architecture symbols are in ARCH_DEFS.MAR, which is a prefix file specified on the command line. On Alpha, ALPHA and EVAX equal 1 while VAX and I64 are undefined. On I64, I64 equals 1 while VAX, EVAX, and ALPHA are undefined.
The following example show how to conditionalize Macro-32 source code so that it can run on both Alpha and I64 systems.
For Alpha-specific code:
For I64-specific code:
.IF DF I64
For BLISS source files, either BLISS-32 or BLISS-64, the macros VAX, EVAX, ALPHA and I64 are defined in ARCH_DEFS.REQ. On Alpha, EVAX and ALPHA equal 1 while VAX and I64 equal 0. On I64, I64 equals 1 while VAX, EVAX, and ALPHA equal 0. You must require ARCH_DEFS.REQ to use these symbols in BLISS conditionals.
The constructs %BLISS(xxx), %TARGET(xxx), and %HOST(xxx) are not recommended. Do not feel obligated to replace them, but feel free to do so if convenient.
Include the following statement in your source file:
Use the following statements in your source file to conditionalize code so that it can run on both Alpha and I64 systems.
For Alpha-specific code:
%if ALPHA %then
For I64-specific code:
%if I64 %then
%fi C Sources
For C source files, the symbols __alpha, __ALPHA, __ia64, and __ia64__ are provided by the compilers on the appropriate platforms. Note that symbols could be defined on the compile command line but that is not the recommended method, nor is using arch_defs.h. Using _TAG_ is considered the standard C programming practice.
For Alpha-specific code, use the following:
_TAG_ __alpha
For I64-specific code, use the following:
_TAG_ __ia64
_TAG_ Existing Conditionalized Code
Existing conditionalized code must be examined to determine whether changes are required. Here is an example of BLISS code to consider.
If the code is truly architecture specific and you are adding I64 code, then you would add the following case:
However, if the existing VAX/EVAX conditionals really reflect 32 bits and not 64 bits or an "old" versus "new" OpenVMS convention (for example, a promoted data structure or different routine to call), then the following method for conditionalizing code might be more appropriate. That is because Alpha and I64 code are the same and 64-bit code need to be distinguished from the VAX code.
4.8.2 System Services With Alpha Architecture Dependencies
Certain system services that work well in applications on OpenVMS Alpha do not port successfully to I64. The following sections describe system services and their replacement services. SYS$GOTO_UNWIND
For OpenVMS Alpha, the SYS$GOTO_UNWIND system service accepts a 32-bit invocation context handle by reference. You must change instances of this system service to SYS$GOTO_UNWIND_64, which accepts a 64-bit invocation context. Make sure to alter source code to allocate space for the 64-bit value. Also, different library routines return invocation context handles for OpenVMS I64. For more information, refer to the HP OpenVMS Calling Standard.
SYS$GOTO_UNWIND is most frequently used to support programming language features, so changes are mostly in compilers or run-time libraries. However, any direct use of SYS$GOTO_UNWIND requires change. SYS$LKWSET and SYS$LKWSET_64
The SYS$LKWSET and SYS$LKWSET_64 system services have been modified. For more information, see Section 4.8.9.
4.8.3 Code With Other Dependencies on the Alpha Architecture
This section describes coding practices on Alpha that produce different results on I64 and may require changes to your application. Initialized Overlaid Program Sections
Initialized overlaid program sections are handled differently on I64 systems. On OpenVMS Alpha systems, different portions of an overlaid program section may be initialized by multiple modules. This is not allowed on OpenVMS I64 systems. For more information about this change in behavior, see Section Condition Handlers Use of SS$_HPARITH
On OpenVMS Alpha, SS$_HPARITH is signaled for a number of arithmetic error conditions. On OpenVMS I64, SS$_HPARITH is never signaled for arithmetic error conditions; instead, the more specialized SS$_FLTINV and SS$_FLTDIV error codes are signaled on OpenVMS I64.
Update condition handlers to detect these more specialized error codes. In order to keep code common for both architectures, wherever the code refers to SS$_HPARITH, extend it for OpenVMS I64 to also consider SS$_FLTINV and SS$_FLTDIV. Mechanism Array Data Structure
The mechanism array data structure on OpenVMS I64 is very different from the one on OpenVMS Alpha. The return status code RETVAL has been extended to represent the return status register on both Alpha and I64 platforms. For more information, refer to the HP OpenVMS Calling Standard. Reliance on Alpha Object File Format
If your code relies on the layout of Alpha object files, you will need to modify it, because the object file format produced on OpenVMS I64 systems is different.
The object file format conforms to the 64-bit version of the executable and linkable format (ELF), as described in the System V Application Binary Interface draft of 24 April 2001. This document, published by Caldera, is available on their web site at:
The object file format also conforms to the I64 specific extensions described in the Intel® Itanium® Processor-specific Application Binary Interface (ABI), May 2001 edition (document number 245270-003). Extensions and restrictions, necessary to support object file and image file features that are specific to the OpenVMS operating system, will be published in a future release.
The portion of an image which is used by the debugger conforms to the DWARF Version 3 industry standard, which is available at the following location:
The debug symbol table representation on OpenVMS I64 is the industry-standard DWARF debug symbol table format described at this location. HP extensions to the DWARF Version 3 format will be published in a future release.
4.8.4 Code that Uses Floating-Point Data Types
OpenVMS Alpha supports VAX floating-point data types and IEEE floating point data types in hardware. OpenVMS I64 supports IEEE floating-point in hardware and VAX floating-point data types in software.
Most of the OpenVMS I64 compilers provide the /FLOAT=D_FLOAT and /FLOAT=G_FLOAT qualifiers to enable you to produce VAX floating-point data types. If you do not specify one of these qualifiers, IEEE floating-point data types will be used.
to specify a default floating-point data types using the I64 BASIC compiler, you use the /REAL_SIZE qualifer.The possible values that can be specified are SINGLE (Ffloat), DOUBLE (Dfloat), GFLOAT, SFLOAT, TFLOAT, and XFLOAT.
You can test an application's behavior with IEEE floating-point values on Alpha by compiling it with an IEEE qualifier on OpenVMS Alpha. If that produces acceptable results, you can build the application on an I64 system using the same qualifier.
When you compile an OpenVMS application that specifies an option to use VAX floating-point on I64, the compiler automatically generates code for converting floating-point formats. Whenever the application performs a sequence of arithmetic operations, this code does the following:
 1. Converts VAX floating-point formats to either IEEE single or IEEE double floating-point formats, as appropriate for the length.
 2. Performs arithmetic operations in IEEE floating-point arithmetic.
Where no arithmetic operations are performed (VAX float fetches followed by stores), conversions do not occur. The code handles such situations as moves.
 - Values of numbers represented
 - Rounding rules
 - Exception behavior
These differences might cause problems for certain applications.
For more information about the differences between floating-point data types on OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64 and how these differences might affect ported applications, see Chapter 5 and refer to the "OpenVMS Floating-Point Arithmetic on the Intel® Itanium® Architecture" white paper. See the Related Documents section in the Preface for the web location of this white paper.
Since the floating-point white paper was written, the default /IEEE_MODE has changed from FAST to DENORM_RESULTS. This means that, by default, floating-point operations might silently generate values that print as Infinity or Nan (the industry-standard behavior) instead of issuing a fatal run-time error as they would using VAX format float or /IEEE_MODE=FAST. Also, the smallest-magnitude nonzero value in this mode is much smaller because results are permitted to enter


What is the time duration after which you can have sexual intercourse following a hymen repair surgery?
Intercourse After hymen repair surgery is actually surgically repairing the hymen, which is a thin, pink colored membrane that closes a vaginal opening partially. In many religions and cultures, an intact or unbroken hymen is considered traditionally a proof of a female's virginity.
The hymen may get ruptured or torn due to certain other reasons apart from sexual intercourse, including insertion of a tampon or doing strenuous or vigorous exercise. Under these circumstances, many females may want their hymens to be reconstructed, which may be accomplished via a hymen repair surgery.
How long after the hymen repair surgery can you have intercourse?
You have to abstain from sexual intercourse for at least six weeks after having hymen repair surgery. Immediate sexual activity may worsen any soreness and pain due to the surgery.
What are the reasons to have a hymen repair surgery?
There are multiple reasons for a female to consider an Intercourse After hymen repair surgery. Some of these reasons are:
Religious or cultural reasons: In certain cultures, an intact or unbroken hymen is considered a signifier of a female's chastity or virginity. A female's hymen may tear during sexual intercourse or otherwise. A female may get hymen repair surgery to restore her virginity.
Psychological healing: A female's hymen may get torn if she has suffered sexual abuse or rape. Certain females choose to undergo hymen repair surgery to repair both the psychological and physical damage caused by the trauma.
Injury to hymen: For certain females, it is very important to have their hymen broken during a first sexual encounter after marriage. However, the hymen can become torn due to reasons other than intercourse such as using tampons and strenuous exercise. In all such cases, Intercourse After hymen repair surgery offers a solution to repair the hymen.
Revirgination: In case a female starts a new relationship with a different partner, but her hymen is already torn during intercourse with the previous partner, she may want to have surgical reconstruction of her hymen.
Who is a candidate for hymen repair surgery?
The best candidate for a hymen repair surgery is a healthy female who has realistic expectation from the surgery. Hymen repair and reconstruction may provide a female an appearance of being a virgin or satisfy cultural or religious requirements.
For females who are undergoing the procedure for revirgination, it should be done at least six weeks before the wedding day. Since the surgery is not required medically, the female who is undergoing the surgery should possess a very strong personal wish to get her hymen restored.

Social Loafing
Definition: Social Loafing is in psychology and sociology regarded as the tendency of individuals to reduce efforts when working on a collective task (i.e., when outputs are pooled with those of other group members) as compared to when the individual works alone. It happens because all members of the group are combining their efforts to reach a common goal. The group members tend to contribute less than what they would if they had to do a task alone.
The phenomenon is regarded as one of the main reasons groups are often less productive than the combined performance of their members working as individuals.

Learn the ins and outs of how to learn tattoo cover up. From the proper techniques for using makeup to create a realistic large tribal tattoo cover up, to finding out what you can do prior to receiving your tattoo cover up lesson. This post is a great resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about this art form.
1) You need Light skin powder paint, semi-opaque or translucent powder, and oil-based pigment (optional). If you buy these items separately they are called "powder foundation," "setting power," "blush," and "concealer." These items can be found at your local drug store or purchased online as well.
2) Prep a tight face by washing it with an oil-based cleanser (no soap, please), using a skin toner, and then moisturizing. Then you can apply the powder foundation, setting power (optional), blusher (optional), or concealer using the following method:
– First apply powder foundation to any problem areas like dark circles under the eyes or blemishes.
– For stick-out areas like eyebrows and lips, add blush/concealer over the foundation. Blend it in well on skin that has already been powdered, but not much is needed if you're looking to hide blemishes and other things in your face. – Use concealer on any areas that you want to make more defined, like your eyelids (in case your eyes are puffy from allergies), and lips.
3) Finish by using a small brush or q-tip to apply oil-based pigment on any bald spots left by the powder. People with oily skin and African Americans should avoid applying the powder foundation, but use a skin tone makeup instead and apply oil-based pigment ONLY if necessary (darker colors will be needed in some areas). Always finish off by setting your face with powder so that it doesn't come off as you move throughout the day.
4) For best results, you need to OVERDOSE on the foundation. I've tried using one, two, and three layers of foundation and it still wasn't enough. If you're wearing a nice outfit and aren't going to be in a hot environment for long periods of time, I wouldn't recommend this technique. A makeup artist will have to do a flawless job for your tattoo cover up to look natural; you need to be able to see the tattoo through your makeup. Don't waste time with an amateur on this technique if it's not going to be clean and perfect.
5) To cover up larger tattoos such as a chest piece or back piece, think about getting a high-quality body suit.
6) To cover up smaller tattoos such as arms, legs, and hands, you can usually get away with just using clothing to cover it up. For example, wear long sleeves if you have an arm tattoo.
7) Practice sticking to solid colors (black, white, navy blue). Don't use many different colored makeup products to cover up your tattoo because it will look amateurish and overdone. Stick with the basics and you'll be able to make your tattoo disappear!
8) Make sure that whatever the artist is using to remove your unwanted tattoo is safe for your skin type and color. For example, don't use harsh chemicals like bleach on sensitive skin.
9) Don't wait too long to get your tattoo cover up (3-months max). You'll begin to see some lightning in the tattoo and it will start to look more like a mole or blemish rather than a real tattoo. If you wait too long, then your tattoo could become a permanent covering for that area.
10) Remember that every artist is going to have their own technique and you might need to practice on different areas in order to perfect it. I spent quite a bit of time painting my chest piece and eyebrows with makeup only to learn later that I should have been doing it with a bodysuit (which would be the best method).
11) If you ever have spot issues, use a concealer to cover them up and then let your skin rest for 15 minutes. Then wash the area with warm water, oil-based makeup remover, and moisturize with vitamin E.
12) Don't try and get a tattoo cover up if your skin is very sensitive to chemicals or it might undergo an aftercare reaction where it will become discolored or flakey. I had this happen to me once where I got a tattoo that ended up being completely washed off my arm because of the body suit technique (just something I picked up from another artist).
– Learn the basic steps for how to learn tattoo cover up along with the needed supplies that you can find at your local drug store.
– We'll go over some basic areas to look for on your body before getting a tattoo cover up and some differences between different methods of makeup. You'll need to find out which method is best for you!
– We'll also go over what you need to do if you're unlucky enough to pick up something "wrong" from your artist.

Safe Storage of Bulk Materials in Silos
29 December 2013
The storage of bulk materials (be they chemical, food, mineral or biomass) in silos is a fairly commonplace event in many industry sectors.
However, for some types of material a combination of bulk particulate characteristics, 'standard' design of storage equipment and poor operational practice can combine to create significant hazards.
HazardEx 2014 conference speaker
**This paper will be presented at HazardEx 2014, contact us for details of the available delegate packages & offers**
When these factors come together a significant risk to the safe operation of the silo can develop – which can have the potential to lead to structural implosion or other structural damage.
Equally the presence of fugitive dust in the form of a suspension or deposition can also represent considerable risk through the potential for dust explosion. In most instances losses are limited to plant and materials, however on occasion such failures have led to loss of life or injury to personnel.
This paper will review some of the most dominant contributory factors and discuss routes towards risk mitigation for new build and plant life extension schemes.
