As part of the Joint Planning and Development for water systems in the City of Fernley/Wadsworth Area grant, a supplemental storage analysis will be conducted which will determine the quantity and required time period of storage of surface water to ensure the City of Fernley maximizes its water resources and is able to meet its current and future requirements. Task Item 5.0 of the grant is required to evaluate the options for storage in the local groundwater system during the irrigation season and recovers that stored water during non-irrigation seasons. The State of Nevada, Division of Environmental Protection and Division of Water Resources require a permit prior to implementation of an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) system. This proposal outlines the components of the study that will be required to update the existing groundwater flow model for the Fernley/Wadsworth basins. The Desert Research Institute (DRI) will work collaboratively with Stanka Consulting and the City of Fernley to create a more accurate groundwater model that can be used to support the application permit required for the project.

Train DDPG Agent to Swing Up and Balance Cart-Pole System
This example shows how to train a deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) agent to swing up and balance a cart-pole system modeled in Simscape™ Multibody™.
For more information on DDPG agents, see Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient Agents. For an example showing how to train a DDPG agent in MATLAB®, see Train DDPG Agent to Control Double Integrator System.
Cart-Pole Simscape Model
Open the model.
mdl = 'rlCartPoleSimscapeModel';
The cart-pole system is modeled using Simscape Multibody.
For this model:
 - The force action signal from the agent to the environment is from –15 to 15 N.
 - The observations from the environment are the position and velocity of the cart, and the sine, cosine, and derivative of the pole angle.
 - The episode terminates if the cart moves more than 3.5 m from the original position.
 - The reward rt, provided at every timestep, is
 - θt is the angle of displacement from the upright position of the pole.
 - xt is the position displacement from the center position of the cart.
 - ut-1 is the control effort from the previous time step.
 - B is a flag (1 or 0) that indicates whether the cart is out of bounds.
For more information on this model, see Load Predefined Simulink Environments.
Create Environment Interface
Create a predefined environment interface for the pole.
env = rlPredefinedEnv('CartPoleSimscapeModel-Continuous')
env =
SimulinkEnvWithAgent with properties:
 Model : rlCartPoleSimscapeModel
 AgentBlock : rlCartPoleSimscapeModel/RL Agent
 ResetFcn : []
 UseFastRestart : on
The interface has a continuous action space where the agent can apply possible torque values from –15 to 15 N to the pole.
Obtain the observation and action information from the environment interface.
obsInfo = getObservationInfo(env);
numObservations = obsInfo.Dimension(1);
actInfo = getActionInfo(env);
Specify the simulation time Tf and the agent sample time Ts in seconds
Ts = 0.02;
Tf = 25;
Fix the random generator seed for reproducibility.
Create DDPG Agent
A DDPG agent approximates the long-term reward, given observations and actions, using a critic value function representation. To create the critic, first create a deep neural network with two inputs (the state and action) and one output. The input size of action path is [1 1 1] since the agent can apply an action as one force value to the environment. For more information on creating a deep neural network value function representation, see Create Policy and Value Function Representations.
statePath = [
actionPath = [
commonPath = [
criticNetwork = layerGraph(statePath);
criticNetwork = addLayers(criticNetwork,actionPath);
criticNetwork = addLayers(criticNetwork,commonPath);
criticNetwork = connectLayers(criticNetwork,'CriticStateFC2','add/in1');
criticNetwork = connectLayers(criticNetwork,'CriticActionFC1','add/in2');
View the critic network configuration.
Specify options for the critic representation using rlRepresentationOptions.
criticOptions = rlRepresentationOptions('LearnRate',1e-03,'GradientThreshold',1);
Create the critic representation using the specified deep neural network and options. You must also specify the action and observation information for the critic, which you already obtained from the environment interface. For more information, see rlQValueRepresentation.
critic = rlQValueRepresentation(criticNetwork,obsInfo,actInfo,...
Construct the actor in a similar manner to the critic. For more information, see rlDeterministicActorRepresentation.
actorNetwork = [
actorOptions = rlRepresentationOptions('LearnRate',5e-04,'GradientThreshold',1);
To create the DDPG agent, first specify the DDPG agent options using rlDDPGAgentOptions.
agentOptions = rlDDPGAgentOptions(...
agentOptions.NoiseOptions.StandardDeviation = 0.4;
agentOptions.NoiseOptions.StandardDeviationDecayRate = 1e-5;
Then, create the agent using the specified actor representation, critic representation and agent options. For more information, see rlDDPGAgent.
agent = rlDDPGAgent(actor,critic,agentOptions);
Train Agent
 - Run each training episode for at most 2000 episodes, with each episode lasting at most ceil(Tf/Ts) time steps.
 - Stop training when the agent receives an average cumulative reward greater than –400 over five consecutive episodes. At this point, the agent can quickly balance the pole in the upright position using minimal control effort.
 - Save a copy of the agent for each episode where the cumulative reward is greater than –400.
For more information, see rlTrainingOptions.
maxepisodes = 2000;
maxsteps = ceil(Tf/Ts);
trainingOptions = rlTrainingOptions(...
Train the agent using the train function. Training this agent process is computationally intensive and takes several hours to complete. To save time while running this example, load a pretrained agent by setting doTraining to false. To train the agent yourself, set doTraining to true.
doTraining = false;
if doTraining
 % Train the agent.
 trainingStats = train(agent,env,trainingOptions);
 % Load the pretrained agent for the example.
Simulate DDPG Agent
simOptions = rlSimulationOptions('MaxSteps',500);
experience = sim(env,agent,simOptions);

Sesame Workshop Shares Tips For Creating Touch Screen Content for Preschoolers
Producer of Sesame Street Releases Best Practices for Apps and eBooks Based on Proprietary Research
New York, NY, December 17, 2012 –With ownership of tablets more than doubled over the last year1, more children than ever are engaging with touch screen devices. Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, today released a paper that offers key findings from touch screen studies and tips for designing and developing apps and ebooks for preschoolers. Best Practices: Designing Touch Tablet Experiences for Preschoolers is based on more than 50 studies and shares Sesame Workshop's approach and discoveries in creating effective educational content for these mobile platforms.
Best Practices outlines interactive design points that research has shown to best support child engagement and learning on digital touch platforms. It also categorizes the most and least intuitive gestures for touch screens, tips for visual design and layout. Findings and tips include:
- Provide dialogue and visual reinforcements to help preschoolers who usually cannot read.
- Tapping is one of the most intuitive interactions for preschoolers while pinching and flicking are often difficult for children with developing motor skills.
- Preschoolers are inclined to hold tablets in landscape view.
- Preschoolers tend to rest their wrists along the bottom edge of tablets, making hotspots and icons placed along the edge potential triggers for unintentional actions that disrupt the activity.
"These best practices are a result of our research with preschoolers and their parents. We've developed highly effective methods and ways we can make apps and ebooks more engaging to help children learn," said Rosemarie Truglio, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Education and Research. "We design with parents and caregivers in mind and know that through joint media engagement children learn more and our content has a greater educational impact. In addition, we develop parent tips and have begun to integrate progress trackers as a helpful resource for parents."
The paper also outlines key features for book apps and ebooks such as including reading options with and without narration in ebooks and the ability for parents to turn off potentially distracting hotspots.
Best Practices: Designing Touch Tablet Experiences for Preschoolers is available for download on Sesame Workshop's website at _URL_ The tips on interaction and design outlined in the paper were culled from studies done on Sesame Street and The Electric Company apps designed for tablets and smartphones.
Sesame Workshop is the nonprofit educational organization that revolutionized children's television programming with the landmark Sesame Street. The Workshop produces local Sesame Street programs, seen in over 150 countries, and other acclaimed shows including The Electric Company, to help bridge the literacy gap. Beyond television, the Workshop produces content for multiple media platforms on a wide range of issues including literacy, health and military deployment. Initiatives meet specific needs to help young children and families develop critical skills, acquire healthy habits and build emotional strength to prepare them for lifelong learning.

Suppose $F$ is a field s.t $\left|F\right|=q$. Take $p$ to be some prime. How many monic irreducible polynomials of degree $p$ can exist over $F$?
share|improve this question
What have you tried? (Think about subextensions of $\mathbb{F}_{q^p}$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$.) – Qiaochu Yuan May 23 '11 at 9:31
_USER_: Thanks, got the idea and found the answer... will write it down here soon! – IBS May 23 '11 at 13:25

The number of such polynomials is exactly $\displaystyle \frac{q^{p}-q}{p}$ and this is the proof:
The two main facts which we use (and which I will not prove here) are that $\mathbb{F}_{q^{p}}$ is the splitting field of the polynomial $g\left(x\right)=x^{q^{p}}-x$,
and that every monic irreducible polynomial of degree $p$ divides $g$.
Now: $\left|\mathbb{F}_{q^{p}}:\mathbb{F}_{q}\right|=p$ and therefore there could be no sub-extensions. Therefore, every irreducible polynomial that divides $g$ must be of degree $p$ or 1. Since each linear polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ divides $g$ (since for each $a\in \mathbb{F}_{q}$, $g(a)=0$), and from the fact that $g$ has distinct roots, we have exactly $q$ different linear polynomials that divide $g$.
Multiplying all the irreducible monic polynomials that divide $g$ will give us $g$, and therefore summing up their degrees will give us $q^{p}$.
So, if we denote the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $p$ by $k$ (which is the number we want), we get that $kp+q=q^{p}$, i.e $\displaystyle k=\frac{q^{p}-q}{p}$.

Nice answer and question as well! +1 for both... Btw, you can accept your own answers? – Kugelblitz Mar 10 at 13:40
the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ over the ﬁnite ﬁeld $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ is given by Gauss's formula $$\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{d \mid n} \ \mu(n/d) \cdot q^{d}$$
For a complete proof : Please refer
 - Abstract Algebra: Dummit and Foote, Chapter 14, Galois theory, Pages $567-568$.
 - You might also want to see this paper, which actually presents a new idea of counting irreducible polynomials using Inclusion - Exclusion Principle. Link: _URL_
share|improve this answer
Just knowing the answer is not useful to anybody. I also suspect that this is a homework problem based on the condition on degrees, so please don't give answers like that. – Qiaochu Yuan May 23 '11 at 9:40
_USER_: Ok... – user9413 May 23 '11 at 11:20
_USER_: the proof presented in that paper is not new; it is equivalent to the classical proof by Mobius inversion. Inclusion-exclusion is a special case of Mobius inversion on a poset. – Qiaochu Yuan May 23 '11 at 11:24
_USER_: i hope you don't mind, but Qiaochu is right and this was a homework qeustion about the extension $\mathbb{F}_{q^{p}}\geq\mathbb{F}_{q}$. I actually used Quaochu's comment to find the answer myself... appreciate the help. – IBS May 23 '11 at 13:24
_USER_: Hey no problem. I never thought about it. Anyhow good that you got the answer. That is important. – user9413 May 23 '11 at 13:25

Excavations at historic Borestone site at Bannockburn
7 December 2011
Archaeologists are continuing preliminary investigations at the site of the new visitor centre for the Battle of Bannockburn.
Following earlier excavations in October, the team are digging for the position of the Borestone where Robert the Bruce raised his banner before the battle of Bannockburn in 1314 where the Rotunda now stands.
The Rotunda, built in 1964 to mark the 650th anniversary of the battle, is badly in need of repair and structural engineers are assessing the work required. As part of the project a full Conservation Plan was completed for the rotunda by the conservation architect Andrew Wright.
Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop said:
"The work to create a new visitor centre at the site of the Battle of Bannockburn is continuing well with this second round of archaeology ensuring that nothing of importance is lost during the building work.
"We may still be some way off the opening in time for the 700th anniversary in 2014 but it is vital that we push ahead with this work to preserve any remaining archaeology and use these findings to add to our understanding and reflect it in the state of the art interpretation that will make this centre a world-class attraction.
"The new centre will just be the latest commemoration of this incredible site and this particular series of excavations is hugely interesting because it is looking at the legacy of the site as a memorial and the way that people have memorialised and interacted with it throughout the centuries. "
The new centre has been designed by award-winning architects Reiach and Hall as part of the project to enhance the presentation of the battle and its significance to our history in time for the 700th anniversary of the battle in 2014.
In addition to the Rotunda, the site is also the focus for other memorials to the battle: the famous Pilkington-Jackson statue of Bruce, a cairn built in 1957, and the flagpole erected in 1870.
Derek Alexander, Head of Archaeological Services for the National Trust for Scotland, said: "The first memorial to the battle was in fact the Borestone itself: a flat stone with a circular hole 4 inches in diameter and 4 inches deep. Tradition has it that the Borestone was the socket in which Robert Bruce, King of Scots, raised his standard prior to the battle and marks the site of the Scots camp. The site has been visited by tourists since the 18th century, including Robert Burns, and an engraving of 1826 shows it beside the road in an open rural landscape.
"We are hoping that in addition to the position of the Borestone we may find objects dropped or even deliberately placed and left by visitors to the site over the last couple of hundred years – it certainly worth investigating."
Over the years numerous visitors chipped off parts of the Borestone, to take home as souvenirs, and by the middle of the 19th century the fragments had to be protected by an iron grille set into a low stone wall and the site was staffed by a custodian.
During the building of the rotunda in the 1960s the precise location of the original Borestone was cleared and re-surfaced and the last two fragments transferred into the new visitor centre for safe-keeping.
The current archaeological investigations are looking for the site of the original Borestone itself, which may be marked by a bed of mortar. Another trench will also be excavated over one end of the 19th century custodian's hut. In both trenches it is hoped there may be artefacts dropped by visitors to the site over the last 300 years.
The proposal for the new visitor centre was announced in 2009 with £5m funding from the Scottish Government. An application for £3.8m has received a stage one pass from the Heritage Lottery Fund with a final decision hoped for early in 2012.
2014 will be a huge year for events in Scotland – as well as the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn, Scotland will also play host to the Commonwealth Games and The Ryder Cup.
Notes for editors:
- The Battle of Bannockburn Project is a joint venture by the National Trust for Scotland and Historic Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Government, to provide a new visitor centre and experience for one of the most significant battles in Scotland's history for the 700th anniversary in the 2014.

Either the Max. Length of the Input Password widget or the Length property of the attribute should be updated. Check which is more suitable for your module and fix the corresponding property.
Message
You should use an attribute from '<table | list records name>' current record for the <input widget> '<input name>' variable
Cause
You have an input widget (Input, Input Password, Select, etc), inside a Table Records or List Records widget, that handles a variable that is not bound to the List runtime property of the list with records being displayed. In this situation, the attribute associated with this variable will have the same value in all the records and this value corresponds to the last value provided by the end-user.
Recommendation
If you want to update a set of records correctly, in a Table Records widget or a List Records widget, the Variable property of the input widget should be obtained through the List runtime property. For example: TableRecords1.List.Current.Customer.Name
Message
<query> 'Max. Records' should be set to '<number>' to match the number of records presented by <widget>
Cause
You have a Table Records widget or List Records widget that presents a set of records different from the ones fetched by the associated query.
Recommendation
Check the Max. Records property of your aggregate or SQL query and update this property with the value suggested in <number>, based on the properties of Table Records widget or the List Records widget: either the value of the LineCount property, if StartIndex is 0, or the value StartIndex + LineCount + 1, otherwise. In this situation, you have the guarantee that you are fetching as many records as you need to display.
Message
'Special Variable' will always be empty because 'Special List' is not specified
Cause
You have a Combo Box widget that is not populated with generic values but the Special Variable property is set. This property is only necessary to gather the end-user input when generic values are displayed, i.e. the Special List property is set.
Recommendation
Edit this Combo Box widget and delete the variable associated with the Special Variable property because this variable is ignored by Service Studio.
Message
'<OnInitialize action | OnReady action>' accesses Aggregates or Data Actions, but the data might not be available at this time. To avoid inconsistencies, use the OnAfterFetch of the Aggregate or Data Action instead.
Cause
When the OnInitialize event occurs, the Aggregates and Data Actions of screens and blocks have not started to fetch data yet. Also, the OnReady event occurs right after the screen is ready and does not wait for the data to be fetched. Accessing Aggregates or Data Actions in OnInitialize or OnReady actions may cause inconsistencies, since the data may not be available by this time.
Recommendation
Move the logic that accesses the fetched data to the OnAfterFetch action of the Aggregate or Data Action. The OnAfterFetch of an Aggregate or Data Action is executed right after the data is fetched.
Message
There are Aggregates or Data Actions that use variables assigned in '<OnReady action| OnRender action>', which runs after the data is fetched. To avoid inconsistencies, move the assign of those variables to the OnInitalize event.
Cause
Aggregates and Data Actions start to fetch data before the OnReady or the OnRender event occurs. If you assign the variables used in Aggregates and Data Actions in the OnReady or the OnRender actions, their value may not be the expected by the time the data is fetched, which will affect the resulting data.
Recommendation
Execute the Assign of the variables used in Aggregates or Data Actions in the OnInitialize action. This way you assure the variables are assigned with their values when the data is fetched.

Secrets of the Wood Comb
Discover the healing power of using wood combs for massage and more

Taiwanese craftsman Xianyi Chan makes his seemingly simple wood combs using traditional techniques. But there's more than meets the eye with this elegant instrument of personal care. They are sold today under the brand M Comb, and the inspiration for their design and use goes back centuries.
Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo combed his hair one hundred times each night before bed.
Flying bugs dance to greet the moon,
I let my hair down in front of moon-lit windows.
A thousand combs quickly wake up the skin and stimulate the bones,
Energy nourishes the roots like dewdrops.
Su Dongpo romanticized the ritual of the comb in ancient Chinese life. A modern person might wonder why. Was it because he didn't have a television to watch? Or was there something about the ritual that today's people don't know?
Meet the M Comb, a wooden masterpiece
Xianyi Chan has loved wood from a young age. He and his brother used to make wood hair clips and hairpins for money. One day, a customer said, "Before putting on hairpins and hair clips, we have to comb our hair. Why don't you make us some combs?" The brothers thought it was a great idea, so they added wood combs to their product line.
About ten years ago, Chan got a terrible toothache. He saw a dentist who sent him to a neurologist, who discovered a tumor in his ear. Even though it was benign, it was big enough to affect his trigeminal nerve, and Chan needed a surgery that had only a 50 percent chance of survival. After a 15-hour operation, Chan made it through, but his facial nerves had been damaged. He lost motor function completely in half of his face. He even had to tape his eye shut in order to sleep.

As part of his physical therapy, Chan received massages. The woman only used her hands, but it triggered a memory. He recalled a teacher by the name of Mula.
"Mula told me of the wood comb's many functions. Many of my customers who bought my combs took lessons with Mula. She taught them how to use the wood combs for massage."
The benefits of wood comb massages
After learning Mula's wood comb massage technique, Chan taught it to his masseuse. From that point on, Chan would bring his own comb to the salon when he got his daily 30-minute massage. Four months later, he was brushing his teeth when he noticed his mouth twitch. At first, he thought his mind was playing tricks, but he wiped the mirror and looked again. "I saw my face really twitched. I was so happy. I felt like I had just won the lottery."
After six months of wood comb massages, Chan regained 100 percent of his facial functions. His doctors were amazed.
People say "wood comb massage," but that's actually a misnomer, he says. The goal of massage is generally for blood circulation and muscle relaxation, whereas wood combing focuses on adjusting the body's qi or energy. The theory makes sense from both a traditional Chinese perspective as well as modern medicine, which has come to embrace the old ways more and more.
"It's not only our nose and mouth that breathe. All of our sweat pores breathe. When people have a cold, they feel miserable because they lack energy. The same is true when your sweat pores are congested, especially the sweat pores on your head, which are the greatest in number."
Chan says that people sometimes feel energized after combing their head because the qi congested under the skin gets expelled through the sweat pores. Once the qi is smoothed out, a person experiences a renewed sense of wellness.
Wood combs can also be used to massage other parts of the body. Chan combs his entire body every day. Qi can become murky and hover around, causing inflammation. A wood comb can expel that murky qi while stimulating fresh qi.
"The best part is that, unlike with medication, this method has no side effects. Wood combs are completely natural. It combs your energy and makes it flow so as to relieve pain and other symptoms."
Even knowing that Chan is a true lover of wood combs and a gifted artisan of many years, it's still surprising to discover that his process for bringing a comb into the world takes more than a hundred steps.
"Anything handmade has a heart. When there's a heart, there is feeling, and it has power."
Handmade quality
Chan's wood combs are always handmade. The wood is selected according to weight, colour, and aroma. Wood type is also important. One of Chan's most popular choices is the black and purple sandalwood.
The first step is to cut the wood into blocks. Chan will wait months, sometimes years, for the blocks to air dry. Once completely dry, the wood retains its shape and resists warping. Only then can it be used for production. Many manufacturers use heat to speed up the drying process. Chan believes this method alters the fibre, drains the resin, and altogether damages the wood.
After drying, patterns are drawn onto the blocks, and a thread saw is used to cut out the comb. A person then manually sands the comb until each tooth is cone-shaped with a pointy tip and thick base. This design ensures optimum energy flow. Chan got the idea from the shape of a boat. The comb moves energy like a boat moves water.
"Machine-made teeth are straight and easy to make," he says. "Mine are cone shaped, and the process involved is much more complicated. Only handmade teeth feel smooth on the body."
wood combs being made for the M Comb collection
Every M Comb is crafted by hand from a single piece of wood, creating an elegant form and natural strength.
Wood combs made with love
Chan requires his artisans to leave their problems at home and maintain a positive mindset while making his combs. He believes that the emotions of the craftsman live in the craft. "Anything handmade has a heart. When there's a heart, there is feeling, and it has power."
Chan's process is one of intimacy. He says he notices nuances that others don't. "It's just like dating someone you love. You want to know everything about her, her family, her everything. That's why I say I've been in love with my combs all my life."
Chan believes virtue is the most important thing in a person's life. Without it, one doesn't have blessings or fortune. A tree also has virtue. Its virtue starts from being a seed. It falls into soil, grows downward to find its base in the earth, and wraps around the earth with its roots. It then grows upward, taking in light and giving out pure oxygen that refreshes us all. It blooms into flowers, bears fruit, and becomes a tall tree that protects and provides.
wood combs in the M Comb collection
The wood blocks used to create the M comb are air-dried without heat to preserve the natural fibres, resins, and energy of the wood. Xianyi Chan instructs his artisans to leave their problems behind when creating the combs, so only positive energy goes into every product. Photography by Tiana Wang
"A tree doesn't take much from this world but offers a great deal. It's very quiet but always devoted. Even after it dies, we still use its body. I hope when people use their wood combs, they feel the virtue in the wood and are grateful."
Here's what Chan suggests: Every morning and every night, spend three to five minutes combing your hair. Start from the top of the head and comb downward in all directions. You'll smooth out the congested qi and let out the negative energy. Relax and enjoy the therapeutic process.
"In the old days, combing hair was a daily routine, a very natural thing to do," he says. "Modern people don't pay attention to it and have lost it. It actually has a great impact on our health. People say you can assess a person's success from his daily routines. This success might not be monetary. If you routinely smoke, then your lungs will not be successful. If you routinely comb your hair, your health will be very successful."
The M comb will be launched at in Jan 2021.

Viewing system resources utilization for the last 30 days
The system overview graph shows system resources utilization in percentage for the last 30 days. This overview can be used to understand the behavior of resources at a coarse level. To understand the causes of heavy load during a specific period, you must perform a deeper analysis.
The graph is based upon an analysis that is automatically created and executed by the Auto Analysis system task for each BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization Workspace domain.
The System overview tab is not available by default. If you have created a new domain and want to force the System overview chart to become available immediately, you can enable it by configuring the Generate domain-level system/business driver overview option in the Auto analyzer task.
Note
By default, the Generate domain-level system/business driver overview option is not enabled, as automatic generation of charts for all domains can be a computationally expensive operation, especially in large environments.
After you configure the Auto analyzer task to display the System overview tab, you can access it by clicking Workspace > All Domains > domainName and then clicking System overview in the working area on the right.
Sample graph legend
Green: Utilization between 0% and 50%
Yellow: Utilization between 50% and 75%
Orange-red: Alerts for heavy utilization, over 75%
White: No data available

What Is A Protocol?
A protocol gives a set of rules and steps to follow before court proceedings. The UK Courts have created protocols for each type of claim. Some examples of these are:
- The Housing Disrepair Protocol
- The Personal Injury Protocol
- The Professional Negligence Protocol
Each protocol sets out what the court expects the parties to achieve before the claim is brought before the Courts.
What Does A Protocol Cover?
As a Claimant, you must follow the relevant protocol. The Court can impose sanctions or costs penalties if you don't.The protocol for each type of claim is different. But, they usually have some common elements:
- You as a claimant must send a detailed letter of claim to the defendant. This letter will start the claim, say what type of claim it is, and the letter will start the protocol.
- The Defendant must acknowledge the claim in writing.
- The Defendant is then given a set period to investigate the claim. This can be problematic as sometimes the investigation periods can be quite lengthy.
- By the last day of the investigation period, the Defendant will send a detailed letter of response. In that letter the Defendant must either admit or deny the claim.
- If the Defendant admits the claim, both parties will then attempt to agree a settlement. This would not need court action.
- If the Defendant denies the claim, they are usually required to do something called Disclosure. This means they share copies of all documents in their possession which might be relevant to the claim. This should to include all relevant documents, including those which are unhelpful to the Defendant. But, defendants don't always follow this rule. So, we are sometimes required to make a court application to enforce full disclosure.
What Happens to Your Claim?
Many claims are settled by negotiation during the protocol period. If so, then the claim ends and the case is closed.
If the claim is not settled, you will have to decide what to do next. After considering all the disclosure and evidence we have gathered, the claim will be closed if it no longer appears to be a good one. But, if we still consider it to be a good claim, you will have to decide what to do next if you still wish to assert your rights.
Still Have Questions?
If you still have questions, please feel free to get in touch with Chris Rudd Solicitors.

How to avoid motion sickness with the Apple Vision Pro
One solution is the ReliefBand
The ReliefBand may help alleviate motion sickness when using the Apple Vision Pro.
While Apple Vision Pro was designed to reduce motion sickness, certain experiences may cause a small number of people to experience motion sickness.
I've had no problem with this, but then I can ride just about any roller coaster with no ill effects. However, if you do experience motion sickness with the Vision Pro, here's what Apple recommends in a support document
 - Stop using Apple Vision Pro if you feel unwell or experience symptoms of motion sickness.
 - Don't use your device while traveling in an airplane if you're experiencing motion sickness symptoms.
 - After using Apple Vision Pro, make sure that you feel re-oriented to your environment before engaging in activities that require balance, coordination, or spatial awareness. Don't drive until you're fully recovered from motion sickness or motion sickness symptoms.
 - When you first start to use Apple Vision Pro, use the device for short increments of time, and try starting with less immersive experiences.
If your symptoms are severe or persistent, consult with your medical provider.
Here's Apple's tips to minimize motion sickness
Reduce head motion
Reducing head motion, reducing visual motion, and avoiding high motion experiences can help minimize motion sickness. Some apps may require you to turn your head and neck frequently, and can cause motion sickness even in the absence of noticeable visual motion.
Be mindful about your own head motions and seating position. For example, try to minimize the movement of your head and neck. Position apps in space so that they reduce unnecessary head motions and minimize discomfort. Sit in an upright posture while also keeping your head upright, rather than tilted to one side or another.
Reduce visual motion
Visual motion can come from apps in which you appear to be moving, or from the motion of objects or content within the app. To reduce visual motion:
 - Decrease the size of the window, or increase the distance to the window.
 - Reduce the level of immersion by turning the Digital Crown. This helps provide a sense of stability by allowing you to see more of the space around you.
 - Turn on the Reduce Motion setting on your device: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion, then select Reduce Motion.
Or try the Reliefband
You might also try the Reliefband (pictured), an anti-nausea wearable that boasts transdermal neuromodulation technology designed to help against any unwanted cybersickness symptoms (nausea and vomiting) — when using Apple's new product (and other VR headsets).
Reliefband offers FDA-cleared, drug-free wearables that reduce nausea and vomiting related to a number of health concerns including VR cybersickness (also motion sickness, morning sickness, hangovers, migraines, chemotherapy, anxiety, and more).
One of the major problems with VR use is the creation of an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Reliefband is uniquely positioned to improve the situation by stimulating the vagus nerve (via the P6 location on the median nerve), the main parasympathetic highway in the body. This helps combat the negative effects of VR headset use.

Why Are Words More Memorable Than Numbers?
Assuming that they are, I'm sure for some people it's actually the other way around.
Is it because numbers describe a relationship between entities rather than the entities themselves?
it's because like there's not much material difference between 1178 and 1179, they're too specific aren't they.
Like you could remember seeing a red car but could you remember what shade of red?
Numbers all mean the same thing, just different quantities of that thing

So does that mean maths can't exist in a vacuum?

Abstract: Monitoring aquatic debris is of great interest to the ecosystems, marine life, human health, and water transport. This paper presents the design and implementation of AQUABOT – a vision-based surveillance robot system that integrates raspberry pi, robotic fish model along with camera and other sensors for debris monitoring in relatively calm waters. AQUABOT features real-time debris detection and coverage-based rotation scheduling algorithms. The image processing algorithms for debris detection are specifically designed to address the unique challenges in aquatic environments. The rotation scheduling algorithm provides effective coverage for sporadic debris arrivals despite camera's limited angular view. In this paper, we focus on the design of debris detection and mobility scheduling algorithms running on a single RASP node. The sensing results of multiple nodes can be sent back to a central server via the long-range communication interface for fusion and human inspection.
Keywords: AQUABOT, Debris, RASP.

Zortström takes center stage
Here, the Zortström connects a high-temperature buffer, a low-temperature buffer, CHP, solar system, waste heat from the ice machine and gas boiler with the consumers, such as ventilation, underfloor heating, hot water preparation, etc., with each other. The waste heat from the ice machine and solar generation can be stored in the low-temperature buffer and released to the consumers as required. The excess waste heat from the CHP unit is fed into the high-temperature buffer and released back to the consumers via the Zortström when required. Solar energy can also be stored in the high-temperature buffer when there is a high level of input and can be called up again in the evening for use in the pool.

Mienshao seems to be based on an ermine and also seems to have drawn inspiration from whip fighting as well as a variety of martial arts, such as Shaolin Kung Fu. The fur on its arms also resemble the shuixiu (水袖) or "water sleeves", which are long, white, flowing sleeves used by performers of Chinese operas to express the emotions of their character.
Mienshao, according to Bulbapedia, is based on an ermine, not a ferret. However, on the Wikipedia page linked in the Bulbapedia article, it states that ermines belong to the Mustelidae family, which includes ferrets, along with weasels. The Bulbapedia page also states that the literal translation for Mienshao's Mandarin Chinese name is "master weasel", and, on Mienfoo's page, it states that its name in the same language literally translates to "Kung-Fu weasel".

Could someone advice me how to merge a vector of'single' and a vector of 'int8' in Matlab?
Tektronix AWG waveform format: each wave point = data and markers. data = single precision float, markers = byte. So each point is 5 bytes. I have these vectors in matlab. Each up to 32Mpoints. How to merge them fast? The only that I have for now:
fsingle = fopen('temp.tmp','w'); fwrite(fsingle, signal,'single'); fclose(fsingle); f8 = fopen('temp.tmp','r'); b = fread(f8, [4 Inf],'int8'); fclose(f8); f8 = fopen('output.wfm','w'); fwrite(f8, [b, markers]', 'int8'); fclose(f8);
This works. How can I execute lines 1 to 6 without writing on disk? It seems there are no pointers to variables in matlab...
Will be thankful for every idea,


text: Two Indian wheat cultivars viz. C-306 and RAJ-3765 were used for gluten extraction and developed gluten based edible film. The wet and dry gluten yield of C-306 cultivar was significantly higher than that of RAJ-3765. Five glycerol concentrations viz. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 g were tried for film formation and developed films were then compared. Film thickness was independent on glycerol concentration. Tensile strength decreased and % elongation at break increased with an increase in glycerol concentration. Film prepared from C-306 cultivar required higher force than RAJ-3765 for puncture test. As the concentration of glycerol increased the puncture strength decreased. Water vapor transmission rate increased with increase in concentration of glycerol. Water vapor transmission rate, solubility in water (22.7 to 100%) and HCL (42 to 61%) were lower in C-306 than RAJ-3765 edible film. Results clearly showed that quality of gluten significantly affect the film forming properties. © All Rights Reserved.

Optical modes bearing optical vortices are important light systems in which to encode information. Optical vortices are robust features of optical beams that do not dissipate upon propagation. Thus decoding the modal content of a beam is a vital component of the process. In this work we present a method to decode modal superpositions of light beams that contain optical vortices. We do so using shear interferometry, which presents a simple and effective means of determining the vortex content of a beam, and extract the parameters of the component vortex modes that constitute them. We find that optical modes in a beam are easily determined. Its modal content can be extracted when they are of comparable magnitude. The use of modes of well defined topological charge but not well defined radial-mode content, such as those produced by phase-only encoding, are much easier to diagnose than pure Laguerre-Gauss modes.

Conversation Lifecycle
See also Bug 789078.
Geary is currently somewhat inconsistent and incomplete in how it lets people manage the lifecycle and labelling of conversations. This is in part due due to trying to fit the conversation model to both IMAP and GMail, and part due to feature growth over the years. We should tidy this up to make it both consistent and complete.
Based on some notes I made, conversations seem to exist in two different finite state machines — one that covers labelling of conversations, i.e. conversations that should be kept, and one that covers the overall conversation lifecycle. States sometimes represent mailboxes, but sometimes are an abstract state, and the transitions between these states define the actions that people might want to take. These actions should be made available to people as high-level UI items, and Geary should manage the implications of the actions under the hood.
Use cases:
 1. Alice has a conversation with both sent and received messages in the Inbox that she has finished with. She wants it out of the Inbox so she hits Archive.
 2. Bob receives a work message, so labels it as Work but stays in the Inbox. On completing the important task, he wants it out of the Inbox so he hits Archive, but wants it to remain labelled as Work.
 3. Charlie has an elaborate hierarchy of mailboxes and wants to move a received message in the Inbox to one of these.
 4. Dave receive the same spam message twice and wants to move both to the Junk folder.
 5. Erin replies to a mailing list message early on but loses interest in the conversation later as it goes off topic. Earlier messages (including her sent messages) are archived but she wants latter messages to be moved to the trash.
_URL_
Labelling FSM
In the IMAP model, labelling corresponds to copying, not moving.
States:
 - Inbox
 - Archive
 - User defined mailboxes
Transitions
These operate only on messages in the current folder for the conversation, not other messages.
Archive
Move messages from Inbox to the Archive folder, without removing from other mailboxes
Move
Move messages from the current mailbox to the selected destination, without removing from other mailboxes
Copy
Copy message from the current mailbox to the selected destination
Restore
Move messages from current mailbox to Inbox, without removing from other mailboxes
Archive isn't available from other mailboxes, since other mailboxes aren't considered final states (Except for use case #3, and then people won't want to archive the message anyway). It might not make sense to only support Copy from Archive and not Move, for the same reason.
Note: This currently doesn't let users partially or completely unlabel messages without moving them to Inbox. Maybe we need a "Remove all Labels" action that removes all labels leaves them in Archive if there already or moves them back to the Inbox otherwise? Or else maybe Restore should actually do just that?
Lifecycle FSM
States:
 - [Normal] (Any conversation in the FSM above)
 - Draft
 - Trash
 - Junk
 - [Deleted]
Transitions/Actions
These operate on all messages in the conversations, including those in Sent.
Trash
Move the conversation to the trash
Junk
Move the conversation to the Junk
Restore
Restore all messages to their previous states/folders (difficult to implement)
Delete
Permanently deletes all messages in the conversation
Note: This definition of Trash doesn't work with use case #5 - all messages will be deleted, including those sent and already archived.
User Experience
Both conversations and messages should be tagged with their current mailboxes. Messages with the individual mailboxes they belong to, and conversations with the union of all tags, except Sent and Archive. See Bug 713027.
A conversation's current state defines what UI is presented to the user when it is selected. E.g. in the Archive state these actions should be available: Restore, Copy, Move, Trash, Junk.
Archive and Trash are primary action for conversations in the Inbox and so they should probably be emphasised and easily activated via the UI.
The Restore action is the only primary action for most other states, and hence that should be similarly emphasised, although implementing this properly will be tricky, e.g. to ensure that sent mail in the conversation is restored to Sent, and received mail in the conversation is restored to whatever other mailbox(es) it was in.
The mock-up below shows what different toolbars/actionbars might lookup under this scheme for various folders:
_URL_
These correspond to the following folders:
 1. Inbox
 2. Archive/user-defined folders
 3. Drafts
 4. Trash
 5. Junk
Trash uses an icon rather than a text label since linked buttons with different label types looks pretty inconsistent.
Sent isn't shown, but would be similar to (1) or (2) but without a primary action button or Junk button.
Notes
Still to be defined is how these actions apply to individual messages in the conversation. E.g. Should Trash move just the messages in the current mailbox to the Trash (as at the moment), or all messages (e.g. including any in Sent?).
Also need to work out how well this fits wit GMail (e.g. Bug 712963

This one of a kind plane was the first aircraft to be manufactured at Dallas Love Field by the first commercial company licensed to sell airplanes in Texas. It was developed and flown in 1927 by George W. Williams,Jr. the first man to design and build an airplane in the state. Williams, along with his brother E.K. Williams (publisher of the Temple Daily Telegraph) was well underway with construction of a 4 acre production factory here at Love Field, until the stock market crash of 1929. The "Texas Temple" monoplane was eventually built in four different versions by his Texas Aero Corporation.
This "Texas Temple" Sportsman monoplane (987N) was the last production airplane completed by the Texas Aero Corporation in 1930. It was flown in the Fort Worth/Dallas area by Ralph Doshier and Ted VonRosenberg who helped to build it. Its original 10 cylinder Anzani engine of 100 hp was obtained from Clyde Cessna. It was reconstructed from the parts of the original aircraft that Jerry Ferrel discovered at Russell Field south of Fort Worth. It is the only remaining example in the world.
This aircraft was donated by its restorer Jerry Ferrel of Temple Texas.

Specialty Crops provide quite a significant opportunity in Belize. There's a broad selection of vegetables grown in Belize, yet only on a scale sufficient to provide a fair amount of supply for domestic needs. Currently, only permanent fruit crops such as citrus, bananas, papayas and mangoes are grown on an export scale. Belize possesses the soil conditions, climate conditions and growing seasons which indicate that it should be able to supply a broad selection of vegetables to the North American market. - Geoffrey de Sibert _URL_

Murder by Death is an American four-piece rock band from Bloomington, Indiana. Their name is derived from the 1976 Robert Moore film of the same name.
The band plays a range of music including instrumentals, rock and alt-country. They use electric cello to create a southern American, gothic sound with occasional western references.
Many songs use themes such as zombies, whiskey and the Devil which are unified into concept albums. For example, the band's second album Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them? describes a story in which the Devil wages war against a small village in Mexico.

To explore how survey respondents perceived their experiences and the impact of participating in a survey, and to assess adverse consequences resulting from participation. Design
Qualitative study involving purposefully selected participants who had participated in a household-based survey. Methods
This qualitative study was nested within a survey that investigated the prevalence of gender-based violence perpetration and victimization with adult men and women in South Africa. 13 maleand 10 female-in-depth interviews were conducted with survey respondents. Results
A majority of informants, without gender-differences, perceived the survey interview as a rare opportunity to share their adverse and or personal experiences in a'safe' space. Gender-differences were noted in reporting perceptions of risks involved with survey participation. Some women remained fearful after completing the survey, that should breach of confidentiality or full survey content disclosure occur, they may be victimized by partners as a punishment for survey participation without men's approval. A number of informants generally discussed their survey participation with others. However, among women with interpersonal violence history or currently in abusive relationships, full survey content disclosure was done with fear; the partner responses were negative, and few women reported receiving threatening remarks but none reported being assaulted. In contrast no man reported adverse reaction by others. Informants with major life adversities reported that the survey had made them to relive the experiences causing them sadness and pain at the time. No informant perceived the survey as emotionally harmful or needed professional support because of survey questions. Rather the vast majority perceived benefit from survey participation. Conclusion
Whilst no informant felt answering the survey questions had caused them emotional or physical harm, some were distressed and anxious, albeit temporarily. Research protocols need to put in place safeguards where appropriate so that this group receives support and protection.


text: An experimental study was conducted to compare performance and efficiency between fluidic oscillators and steady jets with respect to numerous well established flow control coefficients (e.g., momentum, mass flow, energy, etc.) in support of the development of active flow control technology. Different actuation modules were tested on an existing model of the NASA hump geometry. Time-averaged pressure measurements were conducted with high spatial resolution along both the chord and span of the model. Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry is performed downstream of the actuation location to investigate the performance differences in more detail. Fluidic oscillators are superior to steady jets with respect to any flow control coefficient at a given spacing. This superiority is due to the existence of more coherent streamwise vortices for fluidic oscillators in comparison to steady jets.

Agriculture Canada and Nova Scotia's Ministry of Agriculture said they would fund research projects across the four provinces in Atlantic Canada; Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, to look into new, more plentiful sources of feed, as well as health initiatives for the poultry and egg industry.
One project being funded seeks to identify "healthy, cost-effective alternatives to traditional feed, such as omega (3)-rich crab meal, canola seeds and cold-pressed canola oil," Agriculture Canada explained.
The Atlantic Poultry Research Institute will receive C$820,000 (€633,000) in funding from the government's Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program, which is jointly funded by the national and provincial governments.
"The government of Nova Scotia is investing in these projects to support scientific research that will improve the poultry sector's adaptability, competitiveness and innovation," Nova Scotia Minister of Agriculture John MacDonell said.
Six different research projects are being funded. One project aims to identify ways to increase omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants in chickens and eggs. Another seeks to assess ways to improve flock health and reduce disease.
Other research projects being funded include one to develop a new approach to vaccination, and another will look for a way to cut antibiotic use in poultry rearing.
The poultry and egg sector in the Atlantic region is made up of 235 producers and generated C$259 million (€200 million) in cash receipts in 2010.

public float Smoothness { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: Single
A number in the range 0.0 to 1.0.
The value of this parameter gives the maximum error tolerance, expressed as a fraction of the range of each color component; smaller numbers give smoother color transitions at the expense of more computation and memory use.
The smoothness tolerance controls the quality of smooth shading (type 2 patterns and the sh operator) and thus indirectly controls the rendering performance. Smoothness is the allowable color error between a shading approximated by piecewise linear interpolation and the true value of a (possibly nonlinear) shading function. The error is measured for each color component, and the maximum error is used.The allowable error(or tolerance) is expressed as a fraction of the range of the color component, from 0.0 to 1.0. Thus, a smoothness tolerance of 0.1 represents a tolerance of 10 percent in each color component.

U.S. Highway 67
As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is in Sabula, Iowa at an intersection with U.S. Highway 52. Its southern terminus is in Presidio, Texas at the Rio Grande, where it continues in Mexico as Highway 16.
- When US 67 was commissioned in the original 1926 numbering plan, it extended from Fredericktown, Missouri to Dallas, Texas.
- The route was extended across West Texas to its present-day southern terminus in 1930.
- In 1934, US 67 was extended northward to Dubuque, Iowa. Between Davenport, Iowa and Dubuque, it incorporated the route of U.S. Highway 55. The remainder of US 55 (to Minneapolis, Minnesota) was absorbed by U.S. Highway 52.
- The 1934 extension left the last 35 miles (56 km) of US 67, south of Dubuque, co-signed with the extended US 52. In 1967, the US 67 designation was removed from this section, ending US 67 at Sabula, Iowa.

T90fromT48: Convert from ITS-48 to ITS-90 temperature
Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples
View source: R/sw.R
Description
Today's instruments typically record in the ITS-90 scale, but some old datasets will be in the IPTS-68 scale. T90fromT68() converts from the IPTS-68 to the ITS-90 scale, using Saunders' (1990) formula, while T68fromT90() does the reverse. The difference between IPTS-68 and ITS-90 values is typically a few millidegrees (see 'Examples'), which is seldom visible on a typical temperature profile, but may be of interest in some precise work. Mostly for historical interest, T90fromT48() is provided to convert from the ITS-48 system to ITS-90.

We investigated the asymptotics of two-dimensional steady solutions simulating the energy-conserving flow in a horizontal duct of finite depth in situations where the flow contains a region spanning the depth of the duct, and a region in which the fluid surface detaches from the ceiling of the duct as a free surface. These asymptotics are constructed using the local hydrostatic approximation, which generalizes the classical long-wave approximation. The initial (zero-order) asymptotics leading to the piecewise constant solutions are obtained from the mass, momentum, and energy conservation laws of the first approximation of shallow water theory. The first-order asymptotics for the liquid depth are constructed using the momentum conservation law of the Green-Nagdi model representing the second approximation of shallow water theory. It is shown that the continuous solution obtained from this asymptotics is in good agreement with the Wilkinson laboratory experiment [D. L. Wilkinson, "Motion of air cavities in long horizontal ducts,"J. Fluid Mech. 118, 109 (1982)] on modeling the energy-conserving steady flow predicted by the classical piecewise constant Benjamin solution [T. B. Benjamin, "Gravity currents and related phenomena,"J. Fluid Mech. 31, 209 (1968)].

Does colored mulch affect the growth rate of a plant?
Purpose: To determine if different colored plastic (or mulch) on the soil surface affects the temperature of soil.
Materials: Digital thermometer; potting soil; 8 pots; colored mulch in black, white, and red; window sill with full sun; tape. For the colored mulch, you can use different paint colors to paint black plastic, or you might use different colored plastic bags or mulch from the store.
Procedure: Fill pots with equal amounts of soil. Place 2 uncovered pots on the window sill where there is full sun. Cover 2 pots with black plastic, 2 pots with white plastic, and 2 pots with red plastic. Make sure the plastic covers the top of the pot, and tape it to the pot. Place these pots on the window sill. In 24 hours, record your first temperature measurements. You can do this by sticking the temperature probe in the drainage hole of the pot. For 10 days, record the temperatures for each pot in the morning and afternoon. Note the differences in temperature among the colors, and record observations.
Think About This:
1. Which pot had the highest soil temperature?
2. What color kept the soil the coolest?
3. Why do you think that some mulch colors make the soil hotter or cooler?

The Art of Paper Cutting
Annie Howe in Action
Annie Howe
Text by Linda Wright/Photography by Sean Scheidt Photography
The word "scherenschnitte," meaning scissor snips, is the German name for the art of paper cutting. Today, however, you are more likely to find artists making creative cuts with a craft knife.
For as long as paper has existed, people have been cutting it. The oldest surviving paper cutwork is a circle discovered in China dating back to the 6th century. Detailed paper cuts have been found in a variety of styles from countries and cultures around the world.
