The Sentence Pattern Chart
Sentence Pattern Chart
The Sentence Pattern and Parts of Speech Chart consists of two colorful 19" X 25" posters for the bulletin board that display simple sentence structure in context. A pamphlet accompanies the system with exercises where students analyze both sentence patterns and parts of speech at the same time in a "whole grammar" method which simplifies and clarifies function.
The method, developed over years in a busy classroom, is also designed so that students can transfer their work to a machine-scorable answer sheet that takes seconds to correct, then work through and correct their own errors. In the daily plan, the method permits a warm-up lesson as well as a permanent display that students can refer to on need.
Packing all the basics into an ever available visual lesson and display saves valuable class time, which can then be spent on meaning-based activities. Also adaptable to your preferred grammar or reading texts. The posters' flip sides are designed for easy testing.

Get the number of row in database table
By on April 22, 2009
Normally to get the number of row for a particular table, where we will do is as the following query:
select count(*) from Table_name
Yes, you may get your result very fast if your table is very small, but if your table is more then 100k rows, then you may face some delay on that. What the above query do is actually it run the full table scan to get the row count. The scaning can be Logically or Physically. Logically mean that the SQL server only scan from the catch memory, whereas physically scan mean that it really scan through your table.
Actually there is anther alternative way to get the total row count for a table. You can ultilize the sysindexes system table for this purpose.
There is ROWS column in the sysindexes table. This column contains the total row count for each table in your database. So, you can use the following select statement instead of above one:
SELECT rows
FROM sysindexes
WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('table_name') AND indid < 2
There are physical read and logical read operations. A logical read occurs if the page is currently in the cache. If the page is not currently in the cache, a physical read is performed to read the page into the cache. To see how many logical or physical read operations were made, you can use SET STATISTICS IO ON command.
The example:
SET STATISTICS IO ON
GO
SELECT count(*) FROM tbTest
GO
SELECT rows FROM sysindexes WHERE id = OBJECT_ID('tbTest') AND indid < 2
GO
SET STATISTICS IO OFF
GO
Result:
———–
10000
(1 row(s) affected)
Table 'tbTest'. Scan count 1, logical reads 32, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0.
rows
———–
10000
(1 row(s) affected)
Table 'sysindexes'. Scan count 1, logical reads 2, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0.

|The LNG terminal is protected against waves from the North Sea by the Northern Breakwater, which has a limited crest height of NAP+2m. Especially during high water levels a significant amount of the wave energy will pass this breakwater and contribute to the wave climate in the LNG channel. With the numerical wave models SWAN and HARES Svašek Hydraulics has constructed a transfer matrix which converts the forecasted swell conditions at Europlatform and the forecasted water level at Hook of Holland into a swell wave height at the LNG terminal.
Other studies for Gate LNG were:
- metocean study (waves, currents, morphology, wind, sea water temperature);
- current modelling in the Gate channel;
- analysing the effects of cold water discharge;
- weather downtime assessment Gate terminal facilities;
- wave buoy measurements at both sides of Northern Breakwater to determine the amount of wave transmission;
- analysis of methods to improve the swell forecast system for Gate LNG.

Che Guevara Net Worth:
$50 Thousand
Che Guevara Net Worth: Che Guevara was an Argentine revolutionary, physician, author, diplomat, and military theorist who had a net worth of $50 thousand. Ernesto Guevara was born in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina in June 1928. Guevara played a major part in the Cuban Revolution. His image is often used as a counterculture symbol of rebellion in popular culture. Che traveled throughout South America as a medical student. What he saw led him to get involved in Guatemala's social reforms. In Mexico City Guevara met Raul and Fidel Castro and joined their 26th of July Movement. He played a crucial role in a two year guerilla campaign to overthrow Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. He served in the new Cuban government. He worked as minister of industries, helped head a literacy campaign, served as national bank president for Cuba's armed forces, trained militia forces, and brought Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba. As a writer Che composed a seminal manual on guerrilla warfare and a best-selling memoir. He left Cuba in 1965 and tried to lead revolutions in Congo-Kinshasa and Bolivia. He was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. The Maryland Institute College of Art named a photo of Che titled Guerrillero Heroico the "most famous photograph in the world". Che married Aleida March in 1959 and was previously married to Hilda Gadea. He had five children. Guevara was captured by CIA assisted Bolivian forces and summarily executed on October 9, 1967 at the age of 39. In 2008, his life and work as a revolutionary was turned into a two-part film from director Steven Soderbergh, starring Benicio del Toro as Guevara. The first part, The Argentine, details his involvement with the Cuban revolution and Fidel Castro, while the second part, entitled Guerilla, deals with his time as guerilla fighter in Bolivia.

Usage of fuzzy classification algorithms in brain-computer interfaces
Name
Stepan Bolotnikov
Abstract
In this thesis, the usage of fuzzy classification algorithms in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) based on electroencephalography (EEG) is researched. We review the existing literature on BCI, the traditional crisp algorithms often used in BCI for classification, fuzzy classification algorithms and their application in BCI. A simple BCI system is implemented that allows the user to move a cursor on the computer screen. Tests conducted with this application show that fuzzy classification algorithms do not have advantage over crisp classification algorithms in this kind of BCI systems.

This study investigates the effect of spatial variability on the stability of a real 3D slope subjected to earthquakes by conventional Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and a stochastic response surface method. The stochastic response surface method used in this study (VRSRSM) was combined with a variance reduction method due to spatial averaging of soil parameters in slope failure to reduce a large computational load due to the realization of spatially correlated input parameters in three-dimensional space. In order to verify the applicability of the stochastic response surface method with a variance reduction method for 3D slope reliability, the safety factor for a simple 3D slope under non-seismic and seismic conditions was analyzed by MCS and VRSRSM. The VRSRSM was applied to risk evaluation of deep-seated landslides caused by the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake along with backcalculation of strength parameters based on the slope failure geometry and field investigation.

Jernkilden i Sæby (The Iron source)
Jernkilden (The iron source) in Sæby played such a big role for a period that Sæby at that time was one of the leading spa towns. One thought that ferrous water was good against many different ailments.
The source has been known for centuries, but the Sæby Iron Source building, in Art Nouveau style drawn by Ulrik Plesner, was not bulit before the year 1887. The source building, which gathered around the well itself, was open towards Sæbygård Forest, while the slope and the forest sheltered from the west wind.
For many years, the iron source has lived a sad life. It was allowed to decay and was repeatedly subjected to vandalism. But now the beautiful building has got the great renovation and has thus again become an attraction for Sæby.

Saving The World!
KS1 pupils enjoy a visit to Living Coasts as part of their learning experience - 'Saving the World.
The children were able to get up close and personal to the Macaroni and African penguins and learnt how to tell them apart before moving on to see the fur seals being fed. After the children were all fed and watered, they took part in an interactive work shop, learning how penguins keep warm in arctic conditions and how to keep their eggs warm. They even had a go at carrying eggs on their feet. Not easy! A fantastic time was had by all and it was all great inspiration for the stories they will be writing and the upcoming show 'Eddie the Penguin Saves the World.'

text: This study examines the evolution of exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) into import, producer, and consumer prices in Peru from 1995Q2 to 2022Q4 using time-varying parameter and stochastic volatility VAR models. Findings reveal a resurgence of ERPTs into import and producer prices since 2009, particularly during the period of a strong US dollar following the 2013 taper tantrum and from 2020 to 2022. Increased uncertainty surrounding the exchange rate and future macroeconomic policies, triggered by the political uncertainty following the 2021 general elections, may have contributed to this trend. Short-term ERPT exceeds long-term ERPT, which might reflect prevalent price dollarization in Peru's import and producer prices. Consumer ERPT remained stable at around 10% until 2009, then increased to 15%, indicating lower levels of price dollarization. This paper sheds light on ERPT dynamics in Peru, carrying implications for policymakers in emerging economies.

History of Westfield, Indiana
The history of Westfield, Indiana commenced when the city was officially founded in 1834 by Quakers who had emigrated to Central Indiana from North Carolina. It was not until January of 2008, however, that the town was officially incorporated as a city.
Today, Westfield is one of the fastest growing towns in the United States, along with several other such cities in Hamilton County, Indiana. At a distance of only about ten miles from the northern edge of Indianapolis, Westfield has benefited enormously from its location over the generations.
It is largely accepted that Westfield was one of the sites on the all-important Westfield Underground Railroad during the Civil War. Both the Quaker Friends Church and the Wesleyan Methodist Church supported the anti-slavery causes and activities of that era.
Nearby Carmel's Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau has recently pitched in to help Westfield develop a new museum, which already houses lots of interesting and nostalgic memorabilia. The Westfield Washington Historical Society and Museum is inside the old Fire Station and Town Hall on Union Street. There, visitors can view, among other historical items, the very first motorized fire truck in Westfield. There are also tours available of some of the homes and businesses purported to have been safe houses along the famous Underground Railroad.

Divorce Can Significantly Impact a Person's Investment Portfolio
Many things can change for a person here in Colorado as a result of getting a divorce. One is what their investment portfolio looks like. This is because investments are among the assets that are sometimes marital assets and thus are sometimes subject to being split up between the divorcing spouses in the divorce asset division.
How specifically a divorcing couple's investments are dealt with in an asset division can have major portfolio-related impacts on both of the members of the couple. Among the things the specifics of an investment division in a divorce can impact for a divorcing individual are:
 - What investment-related decisions will be before them following the divorce.
 - How balanced their portfolio is.
 - Whether their portfolio has any particular holes in it.
 - What sorts of changes a person may want to make to their portfolio following the divorce.
Given the major changes a divorce can have on a person's investment portfolio, some find conducting a review of their portfolio helpful following a divorce.
Of course, paying attention to the portfolio-related impacts of a divorce is not only important after a divorce has occurred, but also during the divorce process. Given the impactful nature that how investments are divided in a divorce can have, it can be very important for a person to keep their long-term financial and investment goals in mind when in negotiations regarding such asset division. Given the many complicated issues that can happen during divorce property division and the major long-term impacts property division can have, a divorcing individual may want the help of a family law attorney when it comes to the issue of property division in their divorce.


Bacillus Megaterium
Definition – What is the meaning of Bacillus Magaterium?
Bacillus Megaterium is a rod-like, Gram-positive, mainly aerobic spore forming bacterium found in widely diverse habitats. With a cell length of up to 4 µm and a diameter of 1.5 µm, B. megaterium is amongst the biggest known bacteria. The cells often occur in pairs and chains where the cells are joined together by polysaccharides on the cell walls.
In the 1960s, prior to the development of B. megaterium was the main model organism among Gram-positive bacteria for intensive studies on biochemistry, sporulation and bacteriophages. Recently, its popularity has started increasing in the field of biotechnology for its recombinant protein production capacity.
Bacillus Megaterium explained by Bud Bionics
 1. megateriumgrows at temperatures from 3 °C to 45 °C, with the optimum around 30 °C. Some isolates from an Antarctic geothermal lake were found to grow at temperatures up to 63 °C.[1]
 2. megateriumhas been recognized as an endophyte and is a potential agent for the biocontrol of plant diseases. Nitrogen fixation has been demonstrated in some strains of B. megaterium.
 3. megateriumhas been an important industrial organism for decades. It produces penicillin amid aseused to make synthetic penicillin, various amylases used in the baking industry and glucose dehydrogenase used in glucose blood tests. Further, it is used for the production of pyruvate, vitamin B12, drugs with fungicidal and antiviral properties, etc.[2]It produces enzymes for modifying corticosteroids, as well as several amino acid dehydrogenases.
 4. megateriumis known to produce poly-γ-glutamic acid. The accumulation of the polymer is greatly increased in a saline (2–10% NaCl) environment, in which the polymer comprises largely of L-glutamate(L-isomer content up to 95%).[4] At least one strain of B. megaterium can be considered a halophile, as growth on up to 15% NaCl has been observed.[5]
Gram-stained Bacillus megaterium
Phylogenetically, based on 16S rRNA, B. megaterium is strongly linked with B. flexus, the latter distinguished from B. megaterium a century ago, but only recently confirmed as a different species. B. megaterium has some phenotypic and phylogenetic similarities with pathogens B. anthracis[6] and B. cereus, although itself being relatively harmless.
 1. megateriumis ubiquitous in the environment around us. In addition to being a common soil bacterium and an endophyte, it can be found in various foods (including honey, in which most microorganisms do not grow) and on a variety of surfaces, including clinical specimens, leather, paper, stone etc. It has also been isolated from cow feces, emperor moth caterpillars and greater wax moth frass.[1]
The method of[7] described in[1] can be used to isolate strains of B. megaterium from the soil. The procedure starts with plating 0.1 ml of dilutions of heat-treated soil suspensions on glucose mineral base agar: 10g Glc; 1g (NH4)2SO4 or KNO3; 0.8g K2HPO4; 0.2g KH2PO4; 0.5g MgSO4·7H2O; 0.05g CaSO4·7H2O; 0.01g FeSO4·7H2O; 12g agar; distilled water to 1 litre; adjust pH 7.0. Plates are incubated at 30 °C. White, round, smooth and shiny colonies 1–3 mm in diameter may develop on the nitrate (KNO3) medium in 36–48 hours. However, not all strains can use nitrate, therefore the recommendation to use the ammonium ((NH4)2SO4) medium in parallel. Colonies are detected by their appearance and suspects should be observed microscopically for the typically large cells of this species.
The species was described by de Bary in 1884, who called it Bacillus megaterium, but did not give an etymology.[8] However, some subsequent authors called it B. megatherium assuming the name was incorrectly spelled.[9] This trend continues as many scientists (mainly from the developing world) still use the name B. megatherium,[10][11] sowing confusion. The name B. megaterium is a nominative noun in apposition (see Rule 12 of IBCN[12]) and is formed from the Greek adjective mega, (μέγας, μεγάλη, μέγα) meaning "great",[13] and a second word of unclear etymology. Three hypotheses of the epithet "megaterium" are possible:[9]
 - unintentional orthographic error (unlikely given the fact that de Bary and his students, consistently used the epithet "megaterium"), whereas it should have been megatherium, from therion(θηρίον, meaning "beast"[14]), to mean "great beast".
 - a contraction of "megabacterium" as speculated by Rippel in given the fact that de Bary called the bacterium with the nickname Grosstier or Grossvich
 - stems from teras, teratos(τέρας, τέρατος, a neuter noun meaning omen or wonder or, indirectly, monster,]) which could be interpreted to mean "great monster" (with the Neolatin name being formed incorrectly given that there is no evidence of a Greek third declension noun when converted into Latin becoming a second Latin declention using the nominative stem, which is "ter-" while the other case use the stem "terat-". If were converted into a third decleasion noun it would have been "megateras, -atis").
Consequently, it was decided in the first jouridical opinion of the Bacteriological code that the name should remain "megaterium" given the unclear meaning.
The etymology listed in LPSN is, despite being not quite correction, a fusion of the first and third interpretation Gr. adj. megas, large; Gr. n. teras -atis, monster, beast; N.L. n. megaterium, big beast.

You can create a copper effect using shades and tints of Hue 25.
The gradients on the left represent a range of copper colors from very pale, mint new copper, to dull old copper on the right. Creating these two gradients creates a range of copper
colors from which we can select using the Color Picker (the eye dropper) in the Color Editor to create copper colored fills.
Colors from the two gradients were used to create this shiny copper pipe. If you want to recreate this image, use the Color Picker (the eye dropper) in the Color Editor
(Ctrl e) to sample the various colors.
Placing the darkest and lightest of the copper colors very close together on the side of the pipe gives the impression the pipe is very shiny.
Using darker colors and a gentler gradient of three colors creates the appearance of older copper that has gotten dull with age.
As copper is exposed to the elements it sometimes acquires a mottled green patina (this look is often accomplished by placing certain acids on the copper to
turn the copper green). Here's how we can recreate this verdigris green look in Xara.
Create a Fractal Cloud fill using two shades of blue green: RGB
40, 160, 115 and RGB 0, 204, 153.
Adjust the Fractal fill control handles (the arrows) so the shapes are small and pretty evenly divided between the two colors.

Three Dutch companies which import stone from abroad have bought granite from quarries in India where child labour is used, Trouw said on Wednesday.
Some of the workers in the quarries are also vulnerable to debt slavery because of debts owed to their employer, according to a new report by three Dutch NGOs. The NGOs base their claims on an investigation into working conditions and export data.
The three firms supply granite for worktops for kitchen suppliers, window sills for the building industry and stone tiles for gardens, floors and bathrooms. All three say they are taking action to stop the abuse.
India is the largest exporter of granite in the world. The researchers interviewed 172 employees at 22 quarries in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana. They found evidence of child labour at seven of the quarries and debt slavery at 19. In total, 22 western companies were found to have bought stone from a quarry using child labour.
The paper also states that the Dutch stone importers association VNNI has withdrawn from talks within the government's SER advisory group which was working on a covenant for the sector. The VNNI says that the process is too expensive and that the companies concerned import relatively little stone from India.
According to the VNNI, debt slavery is also a bigger problem than child labour in the quarries. 'The quarries are in remote areas and there is often no school nearby so parents take their children with them to the quarry,' VNN's treasurer Niels Ros told the paper.

This study examines U.S. federal employees' satisfaction with areas of human capital management and addresses the extent to which the relationships vary across generational cohorts. Using responses to the Merit Principles Survey, data were obtained from 36,926 employees in 24 federal agencies. The overall model predicts the effects of satisfaction with rewards and recognition, satisfaction with training and development, and levels of supervisory trust on job satisfaction levels. Contrary to the profiles of the four generations prevalent in popular and business literature, the results of the structural equation models suggest that the attitudes of these generations of federal employees are more similar than different. Implications for agency leaders and future research are discussed.

 PRIMARY KEY (key, firstname));

 In the above i am creating table users .Primary keys are key and firstname.
Step 3:
Creating the .csv based on your table.
How to create CSV file using Java:
Sample program to create CsvFile:
import java.io.FileWriter;
public class CreateCsv {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 generateCsvFile("E:/csv/records.csv");
 }
 public static void generateCsvFile(String csvName) {
 try {
 FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(csvName);
 for (int i = 0; i < _PHONE_; i++) {

 writer.append(Integer.toString(i));
 writer.append(',');
 writer.append("26");
 writer.append('\n');

 }
 writer.flush();
 writer.close();
 System.out.println("Success");
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
 }
}
These are mandatory steps after the create project for sstableloader
· In the project to upload the all the jars of Cassandra. These jars all are available in lib folder and tools folder of Cassandra tar or zip file provided by the Datastax.
· And also upload the Cassandra.yaml file of conf folder in Cassandra tar or zip file of Datastax.
· And also upload the .csv file to the project.For example I put the sstable.csv in my project.
Step 4:
Creating the data for sstableloader using java program.

In the above SStableBuilder java program create a data for loading the data into Cassandra.
Before run the SStableBuilder.java the project structure as fallows.
After run the sstableBuilder.java the project structure as fallows.
After run the sstableBuilder.java program created data in the above format.
Step 5:
 Run the SSTABLELOADER command from the cmd.
CMD:
 sstableloader -d 127.0.0.1 pathofaboveusers
 for example above workspace location in D drive .You can go to D drive then give the path upto users folder
for example
In the above I was declare in my Cassandra.yaml file put my IP.But If you declare cassandra.yaml file 127.0.0.1 you can put the 127.0.0.1.
Path is upto your folder where the data is created through sstablebuilder program

Transportation Week Night Quiz (11-16-2020)
by Chompers
Background show artwork for Chompers
Do YOU know which train goes the fastest? Find out the answer to our quiz tonight on Chompers!
>> Rachel: Welcome back to Chompers, your morning and night toothbrushing show. Ready to find out the answer to today's quiz?
>> KIDS: Yeah!
>> Rachel: Well then we better start brushing! Get your toothbrush ready and start on the top of your mouth on one side, and don't brush too hard!
>> KIDS: 3, 2, 1 brush!
>> Rachel: In this morning's quiz, we wanted to know:
Which of these trains is as fast as some airplanes?
When you hear the answer you picked, raise your hand way up high!
A steam engine train (SFX TOOT TOOT)
A subway train (SFX SUBWAY )
A Maglev train (SFX HOVERING)
The answer is (SFX DRUMROLL) … a Maglev train can go almost 400 miles an hour, which is faster than some airplanes! (SFX KIDS WOW)
Switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth and make sure to brush the inside, outside and the chewing side of each tooth.
This morning we learned Maglev trains are powered by MAGNETS
So MAGLEV trains use the power of magnets to "levitate." Which means to is to float in the air.
Magnets can either snap together, or push apart!
But how do magnets really work?
What makes magnets stick together or push apart is a part of the magnet called the POLE.
Switch your brushing to the bottom of your mouth, and keep brushing in small circles all around your teeth.
All magnets have TWO poles. A North Pole (SFX D NOTE), and a South Pole (SFX C NOTE).
If you take two magnets and try to put their NORTH poles together, those magnets will PUSH away from each other (SFX WRONG BUZZER). They won't stick together no matter what you try!
The same thing happens if you try to put the south pole side of two magnets together. They'll push away! (WRONG BUZZER)
Switch your brushing to the other side of the bottom of your mouth and make sure to brush all the way back to those molars!
So how DO magnets stick?
Well, if you put one magnet's north pole (SFX D NOTE) against another magnet's south pole (SFX C NOTE)
Bingo! (SFX DING-DONG) Those magnets will pull together. (SFX DING-DONG)
Alright you're all done brushing for today. Come back tomorrow for more Chompers and to learn about airplanes on Transportation Week. Get some good sleep, and don't forget to

We have constructed an achromatic half-wave plate (AHWP) suitable for the millimeter wavelength band. The AHWP was made from a stack of three sapphire a-cut birefringent plates with the optical axes of the middle plate rotated by 50.5 deg with respect to the aligned axes of the other plates. The measured modulation efficiency of the AHWP at 110 GHz was 96±1.5%. In contrast, the modulation efficiency of a single sapphire plate of the same thickness was 43±4%. Both results are in close agreement with theoretical predictions. The modulation efficiency of the AHWP was constant as a function of incidence angles between 0 and 15 deg. We discuss design parameters of an AHWP in the context of astrophysical broadband polarimetry at the millimeter wavelength band.

To determine the year and month when a spice was packaged, look for a series of black numbers and letters printed on the bottom or side of the spice container. This is not the UPC code and it is usually printed directly on the container, not the label.
On dry packet mixes, the numbers and letters are pressed or indented into the edge of the package. The first number indicates the year of the decade. For example, if the first number is 9, this means the product was packaged in 2009. The second letter refers to the month. "A" stands for January, "B" stands for February, "C" is for March, and so on. So, if an item was packaged in March of 2009, the code would begin with 9C. (Other numbers and letters will follow, but the first two digits indicate when the product was packaged).

Pimlico to Teven - Pacific Highway upgrade
Roads and Maritime Services is upgrading the Pacific Highway between Pimlico Road and Teven Road, about 2.3km in length.
Updates and announcements
Motorists were moved onto the final alignment of the Bruxner Highway in August 2015.
Work is continuing on the new Duck Creek Bridge and the old Bruxner Highway road surface is being removed.
Reduced speed limits and traffic control will be in place and motorists are advised to allow extra travel time.
Pacific Highway motorists are continuing to use the new section of road just south of Duck Creek Bridge..
Motorists are travelling on the new section for about 750 metres, which then merges back onto the existing highway alignment.
Moving traffic off the existing highway enables further soft soil treatments to be carried out south of the Duck Creek Bridge along the alignment of the existing Pacific Highway.
- Building Duck Creek Bridge
- Removing the old Bruxner Highway pavement
- Installing soft soil ground treatment north of Duck Creek
- Removing excess material that was used for the soft soil treatments south of Duck Creek
- Start building the highway south of Duck Creek
- Sheet piling, water main and pavement works around Bruxner Highway.
Traffic management and reduced speed limits will be in place where needed to ensure the safety of workers, motorists and other road users
Every effort is being made to minimise impacts on motorists, the local community and the natural environment during this important upgrade.
- Contractors: Leighton Contractors
- Form of contract: Construct only
- Start date of major construction: Nov 2013
- Completion date: by mid 2016
- Project value: $92 million
Roads and Maritime Services is upgrading the Pacific Highway between Pimlico Road and Teven Road, about 2.3km in length. This work will facilitate the next phase of the highway upgrade, which is part of the overall Woolgoolga to Ballina Pacific Highway upgrade.
This project is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments.
The Pimlico to Teven upgrade is being delivered in three stages.
Stage one was completed by the Ballina Bypass Alliance. It involved soft soil treatment along a 350m section of the Pacific Highway southbound, near the intersection with Pimlico Road.
Stage two consists of:
- Building 2.3 kilometres of two lane single carriageway on the Pacific Highway (temporary tie-ins to the existing road included)
- Building 1.3 kilometres of two lane single carriageway on the Bruxner Highway
- Realignment of 300 metres of two lane single carriageway on Pimlico Road to create a new temporary intersection with the Pacific Highway
- Building a new 117 metre long bridge over Duck Creek (Pacific Highway)
- Providing a new 173 metre bridge over Emigrant Creek South (Bruxner Highway)
- Drainage alterations and landscape works
- Providing maintenance access roads on both sides of Emigrant Creek South.
At the end of stage two work, Bruxner Highway traffic will be shifted to the final traffic arrangement, and Pacific Highway traffic shifted to the final northbound carriageways.
Stage three will involve building the final southbound carriageway along the current highway alignment. This stage will be undertaken when further funding is available.

Maori Poi Dance, New Zealand 1913
Maori Poi Dance, New Zealand 1913.
"Poi" as an art form originated in the Māori in New Zealand.
The origin of Poi itself is relatively little studied, mainly because oral traditions are known. The Ur-Poi were an invention of Maori women and consisted of two equally long branches that were connected at their ends with flax. The other ends are put into the fire and brought it to burn in order to achieve an effect in the dark.
The Poi dance was originally used by the Maori women to maintain flexibility of their hands, and of the men in order to promote the necessary strength and coordination in a fight. Poi were also used as a training tool for other ancient weapons like Mere or Patu.
Poi spinning is kinesthetic related to staff rotation or pen spinning, since crossing the manipulation of a rotating object to be kinetic center, stands in front of and adjacent to both sides of the body and not on throwing and catching objects. The traditional Poi game is about a thousand years old and is regarded by the descendants of the original inhabitants of New Zealand today as a cultural tradition.

What is the purpose of the report?
As with all members of society, our life experiences can affect our mental health, and the armed forces community is no exception to this. British military personnel face unique occupational risks and some require specific mental health services tailored to their needs.
Armed forces charities play an important role in providing mental health support to the armed forces community. Yet, prior to DSC's research, little data had been gathered on these charities. This report provides the first comprehensive overview of the subsector of armed forces charities providing mental health support.
As part of the Focus On series, this report provides more specific analysis of the work of armed forces charities across the UK – in this case, armed forces charities providing mental health support.
In this report, we examine provision made across three areas of mental health: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety, and substance misuse. It is acknowledged that other mental health issues exist; however, the above topics were chosen according to the prevalence of charities reporting on supporting these common areas.
The report aims to provide the reader with:
- Exploration of mental health support offered by charities
- Insights into the beneficiary population
- Assessment of expenditure on mental health provision
- Collaboration, evaluation and standards of practice
In addition, the report includes several case studies to demonstrate the work undertaken to provide mental health support.
This is a unique resource for charities, practitioners, government, policymakers and researchers to understand what armed forces charities do to support members of the armed forces community with mental health.
- This research identified 76 armed forces charities in the UK which clearly provide mental health.
- The most common provision is for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with over three-quarters (75%) of charities providing such support.
- Counselling services were the most commonly provided service.
- Less than one-fifth (18.4%) of charities provide a clinical service (services administered by a registered healthcare professional).
- Armed forces charities providing mental health support currently serve in the region of 7,000-10,000 beneficiaries per year.
- Relatively few charities which deliver mental health services themselves report implementing or working towards common guidelines or standards.
Ray Lock CBE, Chief Executive Forces in Mind Trust: 'It is only right that we invest in credible, independent evidence, such as this report, so that our efforts and resources are deployed where they are most needed, and where they can have the greatest positive effect.'

infinitive: This plant is prone to attack by insects.
meaning, insects might attack the plant.
gerund: This plant is prone to being attacked by insects.

You will now have a daily task that will create a DMP file using the Lode Data Utilities program. Once the DMP file is created the script will archive and compress the file using 7-zip. After the files are archived the script will clean up the left over DMP file, log files, and move the archive to another location (if configured).


"Femicide is any form of violence exercised on women on the basis of an alleged male superiority, through both physical and psychological enslavement." This is the definition of a new term coined due to the growing number of acts of violence against the female gender.
But is this number really growing? Statistics confirm this: every two days in Italy a woman is killed by her partner, without taking into account all other types of non-domestic violence. From murder to rape, from stalking to verbal insult, the types of violence are numerous, but they all affect the victim both psychologically and physically.
The age range of executioners and victims vary, but generally the former are between 31 and 50 years old, while the latter, much younger, between 18 and 31. However, femicide is also increasing at the expense of older women, between 71 and 80 years old.
Although the phenomenon is so widespread and above all serious, the sentences received are not equivalent to the crime inflicted.

Edit Article
Know someone you really don't like? Bored and out of practical jokes? Really want to tick someone off? This guide shows you through the easy steps of making a sleeping person an angry person.
 1. 1
 Get some speakers and put them right outside of someone's door.
 2. 2
 Plug them in to the nearest wall socket but do not turn them on.
 3. 3
 Take a laptop with "1812 Overture" on it (an MP3 player or iPod will work great too, but a laptop is preferred because it can get insanely loud and it is rather easy to get to the part of 1812 you want). Open your media player of choice. Go to the really loud part of 1812 near the end with the cannons. Stop your music player right before that part.
 - Plug the speakers into your laptop.
 - Turn your music player volume to maximum.
 - Turn your computer volume to maximum.
 - Turn your speaker volume to maximum.
 - Turn on your speakers.
 - Turn on the music and run like heck.
 4. 4
 Making a sleeping person an angry person should not just be limited to the indoors! If you have speakers that are powered off batteries, you can do all this on camping trips or anyplace outdoors where someone is sleeping.
 - Have a good laugh afterwards!
 - If you want to cherish this memory forever, have a friend stand over your shoulder and record the whole incident with a sound-recording video camera. Then, put the video on one of your favorite video-uploading sites!
To make it look like you didn't do this prank, try to get in your bed and "wake up" the same time as everyone else! Then there's an even slighter chance of getting caught! (and it makes everyone confused, a double prank!)
 - Getting to the loud part of "1812 Overture" can sometimes be hard, but be patient! It will be worth it in the end.
 - While "1812 Overture" is a great song to use for this, many other songs can replace it. Heavy rock is preferred for most, but if you know someone has an extremely strong dislike for a certain type of music, use that music! Classical-crossover music from artists like Jackie Evancho will work great on some people, while Heavy Rock or Metal will work great for other people.
 - Again, sleeping people who get woken up by "1812 Overture" will more than likely try to beat you up, so it would be best to wear sneakers and run as soon as you hit play.
 - It is not advisable to try making a sleeping person an angry person.
 - Make sure that the sleeping person does not suffer from any heart problems. If you give this sleeping person a heart attack, severe consequences will most likely follow.
 - Remember that if you have the speakers loud enough, you will probably wake up more than one person. And they'll all want to break your stuff.
 - Sleeping people who get randomly woken up by loud music are very angry! You will likely get beat up by them after they wake up. If they do not after they have been woken up, they will most likely get you up the same way in the near future.
 - If you do manage to escape the angry person, they will more than likely destroy anything you leave behind, including but not limited to: your laptop/MP3 player, speakers, video camera, and extension cord. Try to take these things with you when running away.
 - Loud noises can be a danger to your ears. Try to wear earplugs when making a sleeping person an angry person.
 - And if worse comes to worse, point toward innocent bystander.
Things You'll Need
 - Loud computer speakers
 - A laptop or MP3 player
 - (optional) An extension cord
 - (optional) A video camera with sound recording abilities
 - (optional) Sneakers
 - Sleeping person that you're mad at

In some contexts, the term powdered sugar is used to indicate all forms of refined sugar that have been ground or powdered. In other words, it encompasses any sugar with a fine grain including confectioners' sugar. Confectioners' sugar is a powdered sugar though not all powdered sugar is confectioners' sugar.
In other cases, confectioners' sugar may refer to a specific fineness, or the extent to which the sugar has been ground. The fineness of sugar is denoted by a number between 3 and 10 followed by an X. The higher the number, the finer the grind. Confectioners' sugar is 10x sugar. Note that not all packages of sugar will have the fineness of the grind indicated on the label. Let's review more of the similarities and differences between confectioners' sugar and powdered sugar in another SPICEography Showdown.

RSS receives ICT green award from IFGICT
The International Federation of Global Information and Communication Technology (IFGICT) presented Ahmed Masadeh, Executive Director of ICT for Development Sector at the Royal Scientific Society (RSS), on behalf of the Royal Scientific Society, a shield of honour in the field of green information technology granted by the federation.
Masadeh highlighted that marking a first for the Middle East and GCC region, the RSS has received the most prestigious award given by the IFGICT, designating it as a "Green Business".
This certification recognises the achievements of key organisations in raising their ICT infrastructures to world-leading standards, according to a RSS statement.
He also added that the Green Business Certificate of quality was awarded based on a comprehensive ICT audit that was carried out over the course of almost a year, during which time the IFGICT representative in Jordan Metanoia Training and Consulting worked closely with the RSS staff.
"With the full and constant support and collaboration of the RSS management, the process of certification was achieved in record time, despite the difficult and challenging times faced due to the corona pandemic," said Masadeh.
The process comprised of several phases, starting with internal documentation control, followed by an internal audit of the infrastructure of the RSS Data Centre and each department of the RSS ICT for Development Sector and, finally, the comprehensive training of relevant RSS staff, he said.
Implementing the IFGICT ICT standards helps committed organisations to achieve coherent ICT quality management to enhance organisational development and greatly improve the quality of services and products provided for stakeholders and customers. It also helps to maximise employee satisfaction and skills-development, he added.
At the end of the ceremony, Samah Alafeef, CEO of Metanoia Training and Consulting as a MENA Regional Officer of the IFGICT presented the award to the RSS. Whereas Belal Ayoub, IFGICT Jordan Officer, presented the RSS project team with certificates of appreciation for their outstanding efforts.

What The Heck Is Nergi Fruit?
The latest superfood has lots of nutrients. But find out how you can serve, eat and snack on delicious Nergi fruit berries.
What are Nergi berries?
It is small, green and tasty. Nergi fruit look like grapes on the outside. On the inside, it's more like kiwi. And the taste is kind of a mix of both.
So, why haven't we seen these in stores until recently? Well, because Nergi fruit aren't native to Canada (surprise, surprise!).
The berries, a.k.a. kiwi berries, are grown in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ukraine, but they originate and are produced in Asia. And they are harvested in August and September, which is why the fall is the best time to buy them.
They're like strawberries, in that you should buy them when they are soft to touch. And, like most berries, you can eat the peel.
Here's how to eat Nergi
You can wash them and snack on them as you like. But they last three days at room temperature and a week when you keep them in the fridge or drawer. You can also add them to smoothies, salads and pretty much any dish you would add fruit to.
What are the nutritional benefits of Nergi?
Well, as a fruit, they're low in calories – 52 calories for about 10 berries. (One is about the size of a small plum.) And it's a good source of fibre, vitamin C and vitamin E. It does have sugar, as most fruits do, and are being touted for their energizing properties.
Ready to try some?
Like we said, you can just snack on them or add them to your favourite fruit recipes for a bit of sweetness. But, we also have these recipes so you can test them out. And they are totally instagrammable, too.

Residential Toponyms and Urban Change (_PHONE_) in a Seaside Resort Town, Benicassim, Spain
This paper examines the naming patterns of residential dwellings in a seaside resort town, Benicàssim (Valencia), on Spain's Mediterranean coast. The fieldwork encompassed a survey of over 500 dwelling units along the town's coastal margin which has been developed over the last 100 years. Names, specifically personal names and surnames, are most commonly used, with women's name's being most frequent. Almost invariably these are associated with single-family dwellings. Geographical referents, usually of invoking exotic destinations and references to the sun and sea represent other significant categories. These names are used as toponyms for apartment buildings and other multi-unit residences. Recent naming patterns, usually for apartments, include a number of made-up names using prefixes or suffixes referring to the local area.


Maximum Segment Sum, Agda Approved
To practise using the Logic.ChainReasoning module in Agda, Josh proved the foldr-fusion theorem, which he learnt in the program derivation lecture in FLOLAC where we used the maximum segment sum (MSS) as the main example. Seeing his proof, I was curious to know how much program derivation I can do in Agda and tried coding the entire derivation of MSS. I thought it would be a small exercise I could do over the weekend, but ended up spending the entire week.
As a reminder, given a list of (possibly negative) numbers, the MSS is about computing the maximum sum among all its consecutive segments. Typically, the specification is:
 mss = max ○ map⁺ sum ○ segs
where segs = concat⁺ ○ map⁺ inits ○ tails computes all segments of a list.
A dependent pair is defined by:
 data _∣_ (A : Set) (P : A -> Set) : Set where
 sub : (x : A) -> P x -> A ∣ P
such that sub x p is a pair where the type of the second component p depends on the value of the first component x. The idea is to use a dependent pair to represent a derivation:
mss-der : (x : List Val) -> (Val ∣ \m -> (max ○ map⁺ sum ○ segs) x ≡ m)
mss-der x =
 sub ?
 (chain> (max ○ map⁺ sum ○ segs) x
 === ?)
It says that mss-der is a function taking a list x and returns a value of type Val, with the constraint that the value returned must be equal to (max ○ map⁺ sum ○ segs) x.
My wish was to use the interactive mechanism of the Agda Emacs mode to "derive" the parts marked by ?, until we come to an implementation:
mss-der : (x : List Val) -> (Val ∣ \m -> (max ○ map⁺ sum ○ segs) x ≡ m)
mss-der x =
 sub RESULT
 (chain> (max ○ map⁺ sum ○ segs) x
 === ...
 === ...
 === RESULT)
If it works well, we can probably use Agda as a tool for program derivation!
Currently, however, I find it harder to use than expected, perhaps due to my being unfamiliar with the way Agda reports type errors. Nevertheless, Agda does force me to make every details right. For example, the usual definition of max I would use in a paper would be:
 max = foldr _↑_ -∞
But then I would have to define numbers with lower bound -∞. A sloppy alternative definition:
 max = foldr _↑_ 0
led me to prove a base case 0 ↑ max x ≡ max x, which is not true. That the definition does work in practice relies on the fact that segs always returns empty list as one of the possible segment. Alternatively, I could define max on non-empty lists only:
 max : List⁺ Val -> Val
 max = foldr⁺ _↑_ id
where List⁺ A is defined by:
 data List⁺ (A : Set) : Set where
 [_]⁺ : A -> List⁺ A
 _::⁺_ : A -> List⁺ A -> List⁺ A
and refine the types of inits, tails, etc, to return non-empty lists. This is the approach I took.
Eventually, I was able to give a derivation of mss this way:
mss-der : (x : List Val) -> (Val ∣ \m -> (max ○ map⁺ sum ○ segs) x ≡ m)
mss-der x =
 sub ((max ○ scanr _⊗_ ø) x)
 (chain> (max ○ map⁺ sum ○ segs) x
 === (max ○ map⁺ sum ○ concat⁺ ○ map⁺ inits ○ tails) x
 by refl
 === (max ○ concat⁺ ○ map⁺ (map⁺ sum) ○ map⁺ inits ○ tails) x
 by cong max (sym (concat⁺-map⁺ ((map⁺ inits ○ tails) x)))
 === (max ○ map⁺ max ○ map⁺ (map⁺ sum) ○ map⁺ inits ○ tails) x
 by max-concat⁺ ((map⁺ (map⁺ sum) ○ map⁺ inits ○ tails) x)
 === (max ○ map⁺ max ○ map⁺ (map⁺ sum ○ inits) ○ tails) x
 by cong (\xs -> max (map⁺ max xs)) (sym (map⁺-compose (tails x)))
 === (max ○ map⁺ (max ○ map⁺ sum ○ inits) ○ tails) x
 by cong max (sym (map⁺-compose (tails x)))
 === (max ○ map⁺ (foldr _⊗_ ø) ○ tails) x
 by cong max (map⁺-eq max-sum-prefix (tails x))
 === (max ○ scanr _⊗_ ø) x
 by cong max (scanr-pf x) )
 where _⊕_ : Val -> List⁺ Val -> List⁺ Val
 a ⊕ y = ø ::⁺ map⁺ (_+_ a) y
 _⊗_ : Val -> Val -> Val
 a ⊗ b = ø ↑ (a + b)
where max-sum-prefix consists of two fold fusion:
max-sum-prefix : (x : List Val) -> max (map⁺ sum (inits x)) ≡ foldr _⊗_ ø
max-sum-prefix x =
 chain> max (map⁺ sum (inits x))
 === max (foldr _⊕_ [ ø ]⁺ x)
 by cong max (foldr-fusion (map⁺ sum) lemma1 x)
 === foldr _⊗_ ø x
 by foldr-fusion max lemma2 x
 where lemma1 : (a : Val) -> (xs : List⁺ (List Val)) ->
 map⁺ sum (ini a xs) ≡ (a ⊕ (map⁺ sum xs))
 lemma1 a xs = ?
 lemma2 : (a : Val) -> (x : List⁺ Val) ->
 max (a ⊕ x) ≡ (a ⊗ max x)
 lemma2 a x = ?
The two lemmas are given in the files attached below. Having the derivation, mss is given by:
mss : List Val -> Val
mss x = depfst (mss-der x)
it is an executable program that is proved to be correct.
The complete Agda program is split into five files:
 - MSS.agda: the main program importing all the sub-modules.
 - ListProperties.agda: some properties I need about lists, such as fold fusion, concat ○ map (map f) = map f ○ concat, etc. Later in the development I realised that I should switch to non-empty lists, so not all of the properties here are used.
 - List+.agda: non-empty lists and some of its properties.
 - Derivation.agda: the main derivation of MSS. The derivation is parameterised over any numerical data and operators + and such that + is associative, and a + (b ↑ c) = (a ↑ b) + (a ↑ c). The reason of this parameterisation, however, was that I did not know how to prove the properties above, until Josh showed me the proof.
 - IntRNG.agda: proofs from Josh that Data.Int actually satisfy the properties above. (Not quite complete yet.)
2 thoughts on "Maximum Segment Sum, Agda Approved"
 1. John, thanks for pointing that out. In fact, Int in Agda is more like Integer in Haskell (arbitrary precision integers). It's defined by
 data Int : Set where
 pos : Nat -> Int
 neg : Nat -> Int
 while Nat is the unary representation of natural numbers
 data Nat : Set where
 zero : Nat
 suc : Nat -> Nat
 Therefore there won't be overflowing.
 I did get the name of the module wrong, however, it should be Data.Integer.

Whitepaper: Bidirectional Cross Filtering
Headshot of article author Kasper de Jonge
Bidirectional cross-filtering is a new feature for SQL Server 2016 Analysis Services and Power BI Desktop that allows modelers to determine how they want filters to flow for data using relationships between tables. In SQL Server 2014, filter context of a table is based on the values in a related table. With bidirectional cross-filtering, the filter context is propagated to a second related table on the other side of a table relationship. This can help you solve the many-to-many problem without writing complicated DAX formulas.
We just released a whitepaper that describes this feature in detail, available now for download. The whitepaper covers how the feature works and how it solves problems like the traditional many-to-many scenario. It also points out other interesting use cases such as using it for a date table, and how it solves dynamic security much easier than before.


Health Canada is warning parents and caregivers to get rid of a popular old toy that is no longer considered safe after the recent choking death of an infant.
The department says Fisher-Price Little People toys made before 1991 are a choking risk for small children and should be discarded in a way that ensures they aren't re-used or resold.
The company changed the design of the popular toys in 1991 after seven deaths and one serious injury in children under three who had choked on the little figurines.
The newer style is chunkier and too big to go down the throat of a young child.
Health Canada issued the warning after recently learning of a death of a 10-month-old child who had been playing with one of the old-style Little People toys.
The death occurred after an older "Little People" figure became lodged in the child's throat. This incident has brought attention to the fact that these products are still used in play in Canadian households. Additionally, these products continue to be sold in some second-hand retail establishments (including internet retailers and resellers).
The older toys are about two centimetres in diameter, while the newer ones are about three centimetres wide, as well as being taller and chunkier.
Fisher-Price launched a public information campaign in 1992, entitled the "Family Alert Program," in response to reports of seven fatalities and one serious injury related to the use of these figures by children under the age of three.

Have your say on bylaw changes
Auckland Council wants to make sure that Aucklanders can enjoy our region's public places, while keeping safe.
The council is proposing changes to the Public Safety and Nuisance Bylaw to minimise nuisance and safety risks to people when using public places.
The bylaw includes a wide range of issues that Aucklanders encounter daily: from using a drone, activities on a park or a beach, set netting, graffiti and car window washing.
The proposed changes won't alter the council's levels of service to safety and nuisance complaints, but will ensure that the most appropriate legislation is used, and that the bylaw is easier to understand.
"Many Aucklanders may not be aware of this bylaw, but it is wide-ranging and covers many activities that people interact with every day," says Councillor Linda Cooper, Chair of the Regulatory Committee.
"We have recently checked how well the rules in the bylaw are working and identified some improvements."
"The proposed changes aim to remove any unnecessary aspects of the bylaw and streamline regulation, so we don't have multiple rules for one issue. They also help to make the bylaw easier to use and understand."
"We encourage people to have their say, so that we can put in place these changes to make sure the bylaw stays fit for purpose in future," she says.
Some parts of the bylaw are proposed to be revoked or removed (as they are dealt with better by other legislation or Auckland Council bylaws), and other parts are proposed to be amended to improve their effectiveness.
The main proposed changes include:
- clarifying expected behavior and restrictions on people using public places
- prohibiting people from leaving or storing construction materials, shipping containers, consumer goods, and boats in public places
- clarifying how the council sets controls and gives approval for activities on public places
- clarifying which public places the bylaw applies to and enabling organisations in control of those places to approve bylaw exceptions.
Regulation would be streamlined by:
- using national legislation rather than bylaws for car window washing, mind-altering substances, graffiti, noise, fish offal, and street naming and numbering
- moving issues about animals, signage, stormwater and vehicles to existing council bylaws.
Request to government to ban the public sale of fireworks
The council intends to ask the government to ban the sale of fireworks to the general public and wants Aucklanders' views on whether or not they support a ban. Public firework displays would still be allowed. Aucklanders are also able to provide their views on this as part of the bylaw consultation process.
Have your say now
You now have an opportunity to tell us your views. This consultation is seeking public feedback from now until 5 December.
Have your say events are also being held across the region over the next month.
Make a submission and find out more at the Auckland Council website.
What are bylaws and why do we review them?
- Bylaws are rules made by local councils that affect the way we live, work and play.
- As a statutory requirement, bylaws are reviewed every five to 10 years. This process involves public consultations to make sure our bylaws are useful and reflect what Aucklanders need.
- Some of these bylaws are no longer needed as other legislation has become operative.
