About the Norwegian Garnes name and the pronunciation:
Here in Norway we have at least two places called Garnes. They are not cities, but small places by the coastline. One close to the Bergen, and another close Ålesund. My family name origins from the latter. In Norwegian the name Garnes actually means something. "Gar" os "gard" means farm, and "nes" means headland. So it was as simple as a farm on some headland in the beginning. And since this is not so uncommon here, several places got the same name.
Now to the other spelling - "garnaas". This is actually another name, with another meaning and origin. "Garn" means "net", like in fishing net, but may also mean "yarn, thread, (knitting) wool, cotton (yarn)". "Aas" or "ås" means "hill" or "ridge", but may also mean "God" - the old norse gods that is.
There are around 4-5 places in Norway called "Garnaas" or "Garnås", and these are mainly located inland - not by the coast like the "garnes" farms. This may point in the direction of knitting wool and not fishing net, but this is only guessing. Maybe some norwegian called Garnaas can help?
The letter å (an a with a ring on top) is sometimes written as "aa", and I _think_ americans could say "aww" or "awe" to get the pronunciation correct.
426 norwegians are called Garnes 68 norwegians are called Garnås 43 norwegians are called Garnaas

Does international patent collaboration have an effect on entrepreneurship?
Abstract.Entrepreneurship is one of the main pillars of growth in any economy. Achieving a high rate of entrepreneurship in a region has become the priority objective of governments and firms. However, in many cases, new firm creation is conditioned by relations or collaboration in innovation with agents from other countries. Previous literature has analyzed the mechanisms that foster entrepreneurship. This paper attempts to shed light on the influence of international patent collaboration (IPC) on entrepreneurial activity at country level taking into account the timing of this relationship. An empirical study is proposed to verify whether IPC leads to greater entrepreneurship and to analyze the gestation period between international patenting actions and firm creation. Using the Generalized Method of Moments, the two hypotheses proposed were tested in a data panel of 30 countries for the period 2005–2017. Results show the influence of IPC in promoting entrepreneurship in the same year, but especially in the following year. The study offers implications for entrepreneurs and public agents. IPC affects the integration and interaction of international agents in a country, favors the production of new knowledge, and increases positive externalities in a territory. All this facilitates the creation of new companies with a high innovative component.S

How to Unlock the Full Potential of Prop Types in Vue
Are you using prop types to their full potential?
I know I'm not.
It's a part of Vue that's just glossed over.
But there's a ton of powerful stuff you can do with them.
So I collected 5 tips on getting the most out of prop types:
 1. Always Use Prop Types
 2. Restrict a Prop to a List of Values
 3. Test Array and Object Shapes
 4. Know When to Provide Default Values
 5. Don't Overload Your Prop Types
Update: I also wrote a tip on stealing prop types.
1. Always Use Prop Types
We'll start with the most basic one:
Use prop types in the first place!
Prop types are a really simple way to catch a lot of potential errors.
They let you describe what types of values your component is expecting for each prop. This reduces the chances of someone using your component the wrong way.
For example, let's use this ShoppingCart the wrong way:
<ShoppingCart total="This is wrong" />
If our ShoppingCart component accepts total as a Number, we want to prevent someone from passing something other than a Number. We can do this by adding in a prop type:
export default {
 name: 'ShoppingCart',
 props: {
 total: Number,
 }
}
Now if we try to pass in a string, or anything other than a Number, Vue will give us a warning.
We can do far more interesting things to validate props though.
2. Restrict a Prop to a List of Values
Let's say we've got an Image component, and we can set the style of the image to be one of:
 - square
 - rounded
 - circle
We'll use it like this:
<Image
 src="this/cool/image.png"
 style="square"
/>
And we'll add in prop types for both props, src and style, to make sure that only strings are passed in:
export default {
 name: 'Image',
 props: {
 src: String,
 style: String,
 }
};
But while this prevents us from passing in a Number (or anything other than a string), we can still pass in whatever string we want to:
<Image
 src="this/cool/image.png"
 style="rectangle"
/>
Luckily, we can use a validator in our prop types. This is a function that takes in the prop and returns true or false if the prop is valid.
It looks something like this:
(prop) => return propIsValid;
So let's get started adding in this extra validation!
First we have to change our prop types to use an object, so we can add more details to it:
export default {
 name: 'Image',
 props: {
 src: {
 type: String,
 },
 style: {
 type: String,
 }
 }
};
Then we'll add in the validator function for the style prop:
export default {
 name: 'Image',
 props: {
 src: {
 type: String,
 },
 style: {
 type: String,
 validator: (prop) => [
 'square',
 'rounded',
 'circle',
 ].includes(prop)
 }
 }
};
The validator function is just this piece (formatted to fit better):
(prop) => ['square', 'rounded', 'circle'].includes(prop)
Now if you tried to pass in something other than what's in that list, Vue will give you a warning.
3. Test Array and Object Shapes
In a similar way, we can use a validator function to verify the shape of an Array or Object.
Here we have a simple TagBox component, which let's us add and remove tags for our blog posts:
<TagBox :tags="['javascript', 'frontend', 'css', 'vue']" />
The prop tags lets us pass in an array of strings, which each represent a single tag.
With the type property we can make sure that the tags prop is always an array:
export default {
 name: 'TagBox',
 props: {
 tags: {
 type: Array,
 }
 }
};
But in our TagBox component we also want to verify that each element of the array is a string. We don't want people passing in random objects, numbers, and other things.
How can we do this?
Well, we'll have to get a little creative with using Array methods in our validator function:
export default {
 name: 'TagBox',
 props: {
 tags: {
 type: Array,
 validator: (prop) => prop.every(e => typeof e === 'string'),
 }
 }
};
The array method every runs a function against every single element in the array. It will return true only if every function returns true.
The function we run against each element is checking to see that each element is a string:
(e) => typeof e === 'string'
We could just as easily have checked that they were all numbers, dates, or any other type.
But lets take this one step further.
What if we want a minimum length for each tag?
We want to prevent someone from displaying super short tags with a and it, which will probably just look weird:
export default {
 name: 'TagBox',
 props: {
 tags: {
 type: Array,
 validator: (prop) => prop.every(e =>
 typeof e === 'string' &&
 e.length > 3
 ),
 }
 }
};
Now our validator function looks like this:
(prop) => prop.every(e =>
 typeof e === 'string' &&
 e.length > 3
)
I just added in an extra condition to check the length of the string.
And it doesn't have to stop there.
You can take this as far as you want, checking all sorts of things about the elements and objects that are passed in as props.
However, if you start doing things much more complex than this, you'll probably want to use a library. There are a few out there, such as vue-types and prop-types.
4. Know When to Provide Default Values
Along with adding types to your props, you can also specify if the prop is required or not:
export default {
 name: 'BirthdayBanner',
 props: {
 birthday: {
 type: Date,
 required: true,
 }
 }
}
As a rule, if a prop isn't required, it should have a default value.
If you aren't requiring the user to provide a value, and you aren't providing a value either, then who is?
// The user *has* to provide a value, so we are safe
props: {
 birthday: {
 type: Date,
 required: true,
 }
}
// The user may not provide a value, so we should just in case
props: {
 birthday: {
 type: Date,
 default: new Date('July 10, 1856'),
 }
}
The opposite is also true.
If you are requiring the user to provide a value, don't provide a default.
This default value will never be used, and will only cause confusion for those looking at your code later on. Best to keep it clean and remove anything that isn't necessary.
// So... the birthday will start out as July 10, 1856, right?
// Wait, whoever is using the component is providing the birthday.
// Why is that value even there then?
// Now I'm just confused... halp.
export default {
 name: 'BirthdayBanner',
 props: {
 birthday: {
 type: Date,
 required: true,
 // This value is never used, so get rid of it!
 default: new Date('July 10, 1856'),
 }
 }
}
5. Don't Overload Your Prop Types
Here's something you may not have known:
You can have multiple types on your prop definitions:
export default {
 name: 'Counter',
 props: {
 value: {
 type: [String, Number],
 }
 }
}
This component will accept both strings and numbers as valid types, but nothing else.
While this is possible, I wouldn't recommend it in most cases. Keeping your types stricter will keep your code more focused, and leave less room for bugs to come up.
For example, if you're allowing this prop to be either a string or a number, you need to handle both of those cases. This means you'll have to check to see if it's a string, and then convert it to a number first.
This Counter component would probably look more like this:
<template>

 {{ count }}

</template>
export default {
 name: 'Counter',
 props: {
 value: {
 type: [String, Number],
 }
 },
 computed: {
 count() {
 if (typeof this.value === 'number') {
 return parseInt(this.value, 10);
 }
 return this.value;
 }
 }
}
Instead, if you just accepted numbers, you greatly simplify the logic of the component. You can get rid of all the extra logic:
<template>

 {{ value }}

</template>
export default {
 name: 'Counter',
 props: {
 value: {
 type:

By putting Bleach in the gas tank, you can ruin an engine without evidence. If you put Bleach in the gas tank, it will eventually rust the engine several components because Bleach contains a high amount of chlorine. Not only Bleach, but any liquid except fuel can also destroy a car quietly.
How long does it take bleach to ruin an engine?
Pour in an entire gallon or container inside the tank. The tank should have a little quantity of fuel This should destroy the car engine within 5 to 10 minutes.
What happens if you put bleach in a car engine?
There's no definitive answer to how much bleach would ruin an engine. While a few drops wouldn't do much, if someone added even a quart, you need to flush the system. Otherwise, you could end up with significant damages. So, the answer to how much bleach is too much is quite simple – any bleach is too much.
What can you put in gas tank to destroy engine?
Your car's fuel tank is used to store gasoline, if you put anything other than fuel, such as water, oil, sugar, salt, coke or urine, your car engine will stop running or even get damaged if you let the foreign stuff get in your car's combustion chambers.
What can destroy a car engine?
How To Ruin A Car Engine Through The Gas Tank
- Bleach Can Ruin the Engine Easily.
- Water – Harmful Liquid for Car's Engine.
- Carbonated Drinks for Ruining A Car's Engine.
- Salt Can Ruin the Car's Engine.
- Urine – Another Harmful Factor For Car's Engine.
- Sugar – No more fuel's Supply To the Engine.
What will seize an engine?
An engine can seize due to running on low/no oil, overheating or succumbing to a broken timing belt. These conditions eventually stop your engine in its tracks and a professional technician will be required to restore function.
Is bleach detectable in gas tank?
Bleaches are usually made of two components: water and chlorine. Since chlorine is denser than water, it would stay at the bottom of the tank. However, the chlorine gas in the bleach would react with the fuel, causing corrosion in all the parts that come into contact with the liberated gas.
What happens when you mix hydrogen peroxide and gasoline?
The drug store peroxide (3% concentration) would have the same effect as adding water, but with more corrosion. The oxidizing effects mean that it could produce a considerable amount of rusting on e.g. the bottom of the gas tank, possibly leading to leaking gas &/or fouling the engine.
What happens if you put vinegar in a gas tank?
In the fuel, vinegar would keep the engine from running. Gasoline or diesel engines don't like water in the fuel system. If you had lots of alcohol in your gasoline, you might get away with it, if you were lucky. The alcohol bonds with the water.
How do you destroy someones car engine?
Putting water, sugar, salt, some sticky sweet liquid like honey, and more in the gas tank can easily destroy the engine by clogging up the fuel tank. You can also put a few brake fluids, some coke, urine, bleach, and hydrogen peroxide in the gas tank to ruin the engine.
What can you put in diesel to destroy engine?
The fluids that will destroy a diesel engine are coolant, fuel, and oil. Coolant is a liquid that is used to maintain the temperature of the engine. It works by transferring heat from the combustion chamber to the radiator, where it is cooled off.
What happens if you put antifreeze in a gas tank?
They will drain your tank, flush it and replace it with real gas. Antifreeze in the gas tank isn't a problem – that can't be fixed by draining the gas tank, flushing it and replacing with good gasoline. Running your engine with gas mixed with antifreeze is not a good idea.
What happens if you put coke in your gas tank?
There is sugar in Coca Cola after all, but there's a lot more than just that. The chemical composition of the drink when mixed with the gasoline in a car seems like it might turn the whole mess into a caustic sludge that would inevitably clog up an engine like nothing else possibly could.
How much sugar does it take to ruin an engine?
How Much Sugar Should I Put In The Gas Tank To Ruin The Engine? A teaspoon of sugar is not enough to cause harm, so this amounts to less than 15 gallons of gasoline. For gas that's only been "sugared" once, your level of sucrose dissolved should be small because it dissolve less than at other times.

This resulted in a wave of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) litigation. Investors and U.S. government entities filed hundreds of lawsuits in federal court in the years during and after the credit crisis. In this research, the authors consider 43 settlements of RMBS litigation pertaining to major U.S. banks. First, they provide a chronology of major events in the history of RMBS litigation. Second, using a unique dataset, they quantify the impact and involvement of such litigation on major U.S. banks, U.S. government agencies, and other entities. There are two important findings: U.S. banks were not equally impacted, and RMBS settlements were not equally distributed among the various plaintiffs. Third, the authors provide a breakdown of the litigation by year of settlement.

THE LOST GOLD OF
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST
STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST
Where is the lost gold of Zumbro River?
In southeast Minnesota near Oronoco lies the Zumbro
River where gold was discovered, lost, discovered, and lost again.
The first to happen upon gold in Minnesota was
Holden Whipple in 1856. The legend states that Mr. Whipple was walking along the
bank of the Zumbro River when he say something shiny and when he picked it up
discovered it was gold.
No matter, how he found the gold, everyone rushed
to the area to find his or her fortune. The Oronoco Mining Company was
established in 1858 to mine the gold on the Zumbro River. The founding fathers
of the mining company included Steward B. Clark, John Stevens, Archibold
Ellithorpe, Ebener Collins, William H. Pierce and a few more.
The company created sluices and did discover a
large deposit of clay. Cold winter days began to approach and the operation had
to cease until spring. Spring came and along with it came flooding which swept
away all the appearances of a mining company.
However, the men still had the desire to find gold
and reorganized the company once again. In July 1859, they were ready to search
for the gold once again.
The dream of gold was short lived. On July 3, 1859,
an unpredicted flood occurred and washed the mining company down the Zumbro
River. After this, they gave up and went their separate ways leaving behind the
Others have tried throughout history to find this vein of gold without much
success; only small amounts have been found. One large nugget that was found was
placed in a museum, however, the nugget disappeared as each attempt had in the
Another spot along the Zumbro River held stories of
gold. A small village by the name of Sacramento in Dodge County between
Mantorville and Wasioja in 1855 held rumors of gold. However, the amount of gold
found was never recorded and when this village lost its bid for county seat in
1857, the village soon became abandoned.
If there is gold along the Zumbro River, no one has
had the stamina to withstand all the bad luck that seems to hover around the
river and all that seek his or her fortune.

Blade Path and the Ideal Blade
Defining and studying an "ideal blade" has informed our blade innovation over the years and has led to the development of our most efficient blades: the Smoothie2 Vortex Edge and Fat2 blades.
The Typical Blade Path During the Drive
Contrary to how it might look, an oar blade does not travel in a continual arc through the water as represented in Figure 1. This would only be true if the boat were tied up to a dock. The typical path of the blade, as the boat moves past the point of entry, is the complex movement shown in Figure 2.
Figure 1: The assumed blade path.
Figure 2: What the blade path is typically.
Below, the blade path is illustrated by an image taken from an overhead video of an actual oar in the water.
We define this typical blade path as having four distinct phases:
 - Phase 1: Forward Blade Motion—The blade moves significantly forward, toward the finish line.
 - Phase 2: Outward Blade Motion—The blade moves outward, away from the boat.
 - Phase 3: Backward Blade Motion—The blade moves backward, toward the starting line.
 - Phase 4: Inward Blade Motion—The blade moves inward, toward the boat.
Having identified the typical blade path, we can now examine how a theoretical ideal blade would move and what this might tell us about how to best harness the rower's effort during the drive.
The Ideal Blade
We define the ideal blade as having:
 - Zero slip perpendicular to the blade surface.
 - No resistance to movement in line with the shaft; in other words, it would glide.
 - The ability to rotate in the water. We will define the point of rotation as the point where the blade and shaft join.
Developing a New Blade Path
Keeping in mind that boat movement influences blade path, and that blade movement is defined by the characteristics of the ideal blade, we plotted what the ideal blade path would be. We have assumed that the boat speed would be the same as for the typical path, so the position of the oarlock is the same as in each frame of the typical path diagram. Each new oar position was then plotted between the oarlock and the new blade position as defined by our ideal blade. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. The ideal blade path
In Figure 4 we have superimposed the ideal path (green) and the typical path (red) with the blades removed for clarity.
Observation 1: Shorter Outboard Length
Our first observation is the handle positions noted by the circle. It appears as though the ideal oar has not completed the stroke. To adjust for this we shortened the outboard length used with the ideal blade and re-plotted as before. This is illustrated in Figure 5.
Figure 4
Figure 5
Observation 2: Slower Rotation at Beginning of Drive
After superimposing the two blade paths, we noted that at the beginning of the drive, the ideal oar rotates more slowly than the typical oar and then speeds up in the second half of the drive.
To the rower, this means the ideal blade will feel heavier early in the drive and feel lighter after the oar reaches perpendicular. From a physiological standpoint, it makes sense to maximize blade efficiency at the same point of the stroke when the rower is using his or her large muscles to power the drive. From the perpendicular to the finish, only the upper body and arms are engaged, so it also makes sense that the load becomes lighter and handle speed increases in this phase of the drive.
Observation 3: Less Work Required to Move the Same Speed
Once the ideal oar was shortened, we were able to achieve the same catch and finish angles and the same amount of drive time as that of the oar in the typical blade path. The boat also moved the same distance, indicating that it moved at the same speed regardless of which oar was used. Because the outboard lever is shorter in the ideal blade path, the force on the handle is less, which means that less work is required to move the boat the same speed. This also means that if the same force is applied on the handle, the force on the end of the shorter oar will be greater. In other words, the rower will get more speed for equal effort.
Less effort, same speed
Equal effort, more speed
Observation 4: Less Slip
By observing blade movement during oar rotation, we noted that the ideal blade slips less. Note the image below. The slip pattern of the ideal blade is on the right. Of course, this is expected by definition of the "ideal blade."
We also see that the typical blade slips more during the first part of the drive and doesn't slip enough during the last part of the drive. The area shaded red indicates a backwatering condition where the part of the blade near the shaft produces some negative thrust, or drag. This is created by the combination of blade rotation and forward movement of the boat.
Typical Blade
Ideal Blade
Pursuing a Blade that Approaches the Theoretical Ideal
With an increased understanding of what would produce an efficient blade, we set off to design a new blade by targeting specific blade features.
 - Surface area—Increased surface areas tend to resist slippage perpendicular to the blade surface.
 - Curvature/hook—Flatter blades generate a heavier feel earlier in the drive, allowing for slower rotation.
 - Tip characteristics—Vortex generating features reduce slippage perpendicular to the blade surface.
 - Tip shape—Tapered blade edges create a force on the back of the blade, increase lift, and reduce slip, much like the delta wing effect in aeronautics.
We built these features into our Smoothie2 Vortex Edge and Fat2 blades, making them the most efficient blades we offer. Read more about how we conduct on water testing.


text: We study the effect of intuitive and reflective processes on cooperation using cognitive load. Compared with time constraint, which has been used in the previous literature, cognitive load is a more direct way to block reflective processes, and thus a more suitable way to study the link between intuition and cooperation. Using a repeated public goods game, we study the effect of different levels of cognitive load on contributions. We show that a higher cognitive load increases the initial level of cooperation. In particular, subjects are significantly less likely to fully free ride under high cognitive load.

The Nadal formula, also called Nadal's formula, is an equation in railway design that relates the downward force exerted by a train's wheels upon the rail, with the lateral force of the wheel's flange against the face of the rail. This relationship is significant in railway design, as a wheel-climb derailment may occur if the lateral and vertical forces are not properly considered.
The Nadal formula is represented by:
In this equation, L and V refer to the lateral and vertical forces acting upon the rail and wheel, δ is the angle made when the wheel flange is in contact with the rail face, and μ is the coefficient of friction between the wheel and the rail.
Typically, the axle load for a railway vehicle should be such that the lateral forces of the wheel against the rail should not exceed 50% of the vertical down-force of the vehicle on the rail. Put another way, there should be twice as much downward force holding the wheel to the rail, as there is lateral force which will tend to cause the wheel to climb in turns. This ratio is accomplished by matching the wheelset with the appropriate rail profile to achieve the L/V ratio desired. If the L/V ratio gets too high, the wheel flange will be pressing against the rail face, and during a turn this will cause the wheel to climb the face of the rail, potentially derailing the railcar.
The Nadal formula assumes the wheel remains perpendicular to the rail—it does not take into account hunting oscillation of the wheelset, or the movement of the wheel flange contact point against the rail.
A variation of the Nadal formula, which does take these factors into consideration, is the Wagner formula. As the wheelset yaws relative to the rail, the vertical force V is no longer completely vertical, but is now acting at an angle to the vertical, β. When this angle is factored into the Nadal formula, the result is the Wagner formula:
When the vertical force is truly vertical (that is, β=0 and therefore cos(β)=1), the Wagner formula equals the Nadal formula.

Ruby: Find unscrambled words from a list of scrambled words
Suppose you have a list of words, and you have another list of unscrambled words. How would you find unscrambled words in the list of words. For example, you have a list of words:
 1. testtest
 2. apple
 3. college
 4. abcdefg
 5. school
 … and a lot more, says 1000 words
And a list of unscrambled words
 1. hoolsc
 2. bgfedcba
 3. ppale
How would you know that the exact word of the list of unscrambled words? How would you know that "hoolsc" is "school".
Here is what I do, I use Ruby to create a hash and find the frequency of each character of each word. And compare the two hashs to see if they contain the same amount of characters. This might not be the most efficient way to do that, but it certainly the easiest way to do.
For instance, "school" would have { "s" => 1, "c" => 1, "h" => 1, "o" => 2, "l" => 1} and "hoolsc" would be {"h" => 1, "o" => 2, "l" => 1, "s" => 1, "c" => 1}. They are different in the position of key, but they have the same number of keys and each key-value pair is equal to the element in the other hash.
Here is the code I created
The words.txt is the list of scrambled words
and the wordlist.txt is the list of unscrambled words
scrambled_words = File.new("words.txt","r")
while (scrambled_word = scrambled_words.gets )
 scrambled_word = "#{scrambled_word}"
 scrambled_word_array = scrambled_word.split(//)

 scrambled_word_hash = Hash.new()
 for word in scrambled_word_array
 if( word != "\r" && word != "\n")
 scrambled_word_hash[word] += 1
 end
 end
 word_list = File.new("wordlist.txt","r")
 while (words = word_list.gets)
 unscrambled_word = "#{words}"
 unscrambled_word_array = unscrambled_word.split(//)
 unscrambled_word_hash = Hash.new()

 for word1 in unscrambled_word_array
 if( word1 != "\r" && word1 != "\n")
 unscrambled_word_hash[word1] += 1
 end
 end
 if scrambled_word_hash == unscrambled_word_hash
 print "#{words},"
 end
 end
 word_list.close
end
scrambled_words.close
You can get wordlist.txt from _URL_ as well. It's really fun.

Cause of the Bursting of Peat-hogs.—The curious phenomena of the swelling and bursting of peat-bogs have been studied by Herr Klinge. They generally occur after heavy rains, and are preceded by detonations and earth vibrations. A muddy stream issues from them, of varying fluidity, rolling along lumps of peat. Then the mud hardens and the bog sinks back, forming a funnel-shaped pool. The bogs studied by the author have been mostly on high ground, not in valleys. He believes that the eruptions are not caused either by excessive absorption of moisture or by gas explosions—the theories most readily suggested—but by land-slips, collapses, etc., of ground under the bog, which permit water or liquid mud to enter. This breaks up the bog mechanically, mixes with it and fluidifies it, and produces the outburst at the surface. The limestone formations in Ireland, with their large caverns and masses of water, are naturally subject to these collapses, which, with the vibrations they induce, are more frequent in wet years. The heavy rains preceding the bog eruptions are thus to be regarded as only an indirect cause of them. Herr Klinge supposes that similar eruptions occurred in past geological periods, the Carboniferous, for example, in some cases where fossil tree-stems are found in upright position.

Joseph Lincoln Steffens (April 6, 1866 – August 9, 1936) was an American journalist and one of the most famous practitioners of the journalistic style called muckraking. He is also known for his 1921 statement, upon his return from the Soviet Union: "I have been over into the future, and it works."
A better known version of his famous quote, "I've seen the future, and it works," can be found on the title page of the 1933 edition of Red Virtue, written by his wife, Ella Winter.
Steffens was born April 6, 1866, in San Francisco and grew up in Sacramento, California. He studied in France and Germany after graduating from the University of California, where he was first exposed to what were known then as "radical" political views.

You would have to think about how to do the lookup, since there are two methods that the set needs,
The hash is a "loose part" that you can take away, but the
__eq__ is not a loose part that you can save; you have to have two strings for the comparison.
If you only need negative confirmation (this item is not part of the set), you could fill a Set collection you implemented yourself with your strings, then you "finalize" the set by removing all strings, except those with collisions (those are kept around for eq tests), and you promise not to add more objects to your Set. Now you have an exclusive test available.. you can tell if an object is not in your Set. You can't be certain if "obj in Set == True" is a false positive or not.
Edit: This is basically a bloom filter that was cleverly linked, but a bloom filter might use more than one hash per element which is really clever.

text: We analyze the mechanism of condensation of orientational moduli [as introduced in Phys. Rev. D 87, 025025 (2013)] on multi-Skyrmionic configurations of the four-dimensional Skyrme model. The present analysis reveals interesting novel features. First of all, the orientational moduli tend to decrease the repulsive interactions between Skyrmions, the effect decreasing with the increase of the baryon number. Moreover, in the case of a single Skyrmion, the appearance of moduli is energetically favorable if finite-volume effects are present. Otherwise, in the usual flat topologically trivial case, it is not. In the low-energy theory these solutions can be interpreted as Skyrmions with additional isospin degrees of freedom.


Grains of paradise is a plant that is related to ginger. The seeds are used as a spice and as medicine.
Be careful not to confuse grains of paradise with capsicum. Both are known as grains of paradise.
People use grains of paradise for conditions such as diarrhea, heart disease, obesity, and many others, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
How does it work?
Chemicals in the seeds of grains of paradise seem to decrease swelling (inflammation), kill certain bacteria, and help burn body fat.

AHK: How to Code a KML to Excel Exporter
I accidentally opened up a KML file in Notepad once. There are no words in the English language to describe that specific form of horror. It's generally brought on by questions like: "Did I just delete every other file in my C drive?" or "How the shit did I disable my keyboard? That script wasn't even sending keystrokes???"
Or when the IT guy at work remote accesses your computer, fixes the problem, then says, "Oh, hey, I can see you" and then HANGS UP.
I have no webcam on my work computer, guys. NO WEBCAM.
It appears my ADD has hijacked this post. Attempting to refocus.
My point is that I panicked for no reason.Well, not no reason. I mean, look at this:
But when I stopped to really look at it, I realized the innards of a KML are surprisingly readable. It's literally latitude and longitude with some headers in tags. That's it.
So today, in keeping with my recent VBA post, I am forgoing the lovely graphics once again and plowing my way through a script that is, in reality, only useful to me.
You're welcome.
Step 1: Understanding the Problem
See all these points in Google Earth? Plotted them at random. Here's a breakdown of what I want from the KML file:
Step 2: Prepping the File
Let's start off by prompting the user for the KML file in question.
A quick review of AHK functions will get you to FileSelectFile, alls you gotta do is change the output variable to something memorable and filter for KMLs.
I talked about FileRead in a Web Scraper post a while back. Basically, this is how we get the computer to push text into a single variable that we can chop up.
After a long shouting match with my laptop, I discovered FileRead won't read a KML. So before we continue, we have to turn the.kml into a.txt using FileCopy.
Step 3: Trimming the Variable
InStr() is really helpful here. Since we know the latitude and longitude will immediately follow the word "coordinate," we can have the script search for that and then plug the Occurance value into a variable that jumps up by two with each loop–one for and one for .
Setting the return value of InStr to a variable allows you to plug that into StringTrimRight and StringTrimLeft easily enough.
Step 4: Save It Into A CSV
Using FileAppend, you can throw each set of coordinates into a.csv. The only frustrating thing here is remembering to escape any commas or n's for new lines with the ' key.
The Code
In the interest of not staying up all night writing a GUI while binge watching ridiculously old episodes of Unsolved Mysteries, I'm posting the code as is.
Minus the GUI, the copied.txt and destination. csv files have to be manually inserted (they're on the Desktop below), as well as the loop count for the number of points.
FileSelectFile, TheFile,,, KML to Convert, (*.kml)
FileCopy, %TheFile%, c:\Users\Desktop\KML.txt
FileRead, FileContent, c:\Users\Desktop\KML.txt
Occ := 1
loop, #
FoundPos := InStr(FileContent, "coordinates", false, 1, Occ)
StringTrimLeft, TrimContent, FileContent, FoundPos
FoundPos := InStr(TrimContent, "coordinates", false, 1, 1)
StringTrimRight, AllTrimContent, TrimContent, StrLen(TrimContent) - FoundPos + 3
FileAppend, %AllTrimContent%','n, c:\Users\Desktop\KMLTest.csv
Msgbox, Done
That's all. Roll credits. I'm thinking I'll post a One Lovely Blog Post at some point this week, and if not, Processing next weekend.

 1. Noooooo. When you say things like that, you make me think it's easy even for me, but what's actually going to happen is I'll spend the next 14 hours beating my computer senseless instead of sleeping… I'll try it this weekend and let you know how it goes 🙂

 1. You know, I've had others suggest that I clean up the language. But programming makes my brain think in expletives. And since GifGuide is more of a progress journal (I write as I break down problems–my posts expand and contract a lot as I plow through), it's just always seemed natural to not filter. That being said, I COMPLETELY understand the awkwardness of referencing a blog filled with rage rants, and I absolutely would not recommend it for children. Sidenote: I really did like your nominees–always looking for more tech oddballs on WordPress. Until next time ECG 🙂

 2. Oh, the "others" were all in real life–you're definitely the first WordPresser. What's funny is that it's pretty evenly split among brick-and-mortar people I've shown. The main argument against profanity is that if I ever tried to set the blog up on its own to sell a few ads (to at least cover my coffee expenses), who on EARTH is going to back a foul-mouthed amateur. The main argument in favor is who on EARTH is going to back an amateur at all. My main argument is that I have to take out my frustration SOMEWHERE. Better on the interwebs than smashing my computer with a mallet. Hey ECG, is there any chance that you go by the name Panda?

 1. HOLD IT, you just gave me an AMAZING idea for profanity web scraper to figure out if there's a correlation between the amount of swearing in the post and the programming language and/or functions I'm using in a particular script. Or if the TYPE of swearing switches. To use as a sort of rage gauge, you know? Then I can track my progress over time by looking at whether it's increasing or decreasing–I mean I have a year's worth of posts. To be honest, I sort of thought they all had some cursing, but I've never actually gone through to see. It just occurred to me that this is going to be quite disheartening if the numbers indicate that my anger levels aren't on a downward trend. Surely, you'd think the more exposure to programming, the less frustrated I'd be? Huh. Imma look into this and get back to you.

Emil von Sydow
(July 15, 1812 - October 13, 1873) was a German geographer
born in Freiberg, Saxony
. Early in his career he was a geography
instructor at the military academy in Erfurt
, and in 1867 became director of statistics and geography to the Prussian General Staff.
Emil von Sydow is considered to be the founder of methodical school cartography
, and was known for creating his own wall maps for classroom instruction. In 1838 he produced a physical map of Asia in his Schulmethodischer Wand Atlas
(Methodic Wall Atlas for Schools), which was soon followed by maps of other continents. On these maps, von Sydow developed a color methodology for landscape features using hachures
, where green was depicted for lowlands and brown used for highlands. Wilhelm Perthes of the publishing firm "Justus Perthes
Geographische Anstalt Gotha" was impressed with von Sydow's work and in 1849 produced the latter's Schulatlas in sechsunddreigig Karten
(Schoolatlas in 36 maps), which eventually ran to 39 editions in 1887.
After von Sydow's death, Hermann Wagner
(_PHONE_), a geography professor at Göttingen
designed the Sydow-Wagner Methodischer Schulatlas
(Sydow-Wagner Methodical School Atlas) with 60 major and 50 inset maps.

How do products get properly spaced for weighing or labeling?
You need to use a box/case indexer. Proper product spacing is vital to ensuring reliable operation of downline equipment such as conveyor scales, checkweighers and labeling systems.
Conveyor Scale – proper product spacing ensures only one package is on the scale at a time. If two packages are simultaneously on the scale, an incorrect weight can result.
Checkweigher – A checkweigher is essentially a conveyor scale with a divert so the same incorrect weight situation will arise as with a conveyor scale. However, the divert may reject a package that is actually within the proper weight range.
Labeling System – Proper product spacing ensures that labels can be formatted, printed and applied to the box before the next one arrives.
So how exactly does an indexer work?
Importance of a Indexer for Proper Box Spacing-1
A supply conveyor transports boxes with inconsistent spacing. The boxes move onto the Indexer, which has a conveyor section that will drop down allowing boxes to accumulate against a Bulkhead. (This conveyor section has unique roller belting that allows the conveyor to continuously turn while boxes accumulate on top of the belt.)
Importance of a Indexer for Proper Box Spacing-2
A sensor (not shown) detects a space is available, the Drop Down Conveyor section will then rise allowing a box to advance unobstructed. The Infeed Conveyor, which moves faster than the Drop Down Conveyor, will grab the first box (A) propelling it forward to create a gap between the trailing box (T).
Importance of a Indexer for Proper Box Spacing-3
The Drop Down Conveyor will quickly lower again causing the boxes to accumulate against the bulkhead. Once the sensor (not shown) detects a gap, the indexer will rise, once again, and let another box advance. This is how an Indexer controls box spacing to ensure only one box is on the scale at a time.
Conclusion: Indexers are vital product handling equipment that can make your entire operation more efficient and reduce manual labor.

Announcing the invention of a radical new type of bridge capable of spanning long distances across deep water.
The inventor claims this bridge design will make crossing long expanses of deep water possible. The "Hamilton Deep Water Bridge" will make the construction of bridges across places like the English Channel or the Straits of Messina, etc., practical and economically feasible.
Where now, only ferry transportation connects locations separated by long distance and deep water, this new bridge will make driving safely, between these locations possible. There are many locations around the world where a bridge of this type can be used. One of the unique design features of the bridge are the economical "ocean pressure" foundations which secure the bridge to the ocean floor and support the super structure. This new design will bring bridge construction into the 21st century.

Let's say one says borei ha'adamah or ha'eitz and eats at least a kezayis of a fruit or vegetable, but is not yet full. Then, the person decides that he or she wants to eat bread. Is the proper procedure to say borei nefashos first, or to say hamotzi and then afterward say birkas hamazon and borei nefashos?
If the answer is that one should say the brachos achronos before hamotzi, what should one do if one forgets to do so before saying hamotzi? In such a situation, should one say it in the middle of the meal, or wait until after birkas hamazon?
share|improve this question
Is he planning on eating any of the fruit/vegetable during the bread meal? – Double AA May 15 at 15:45
I don't know -- does the answer depend on that? – Kordovero May 15 at 15:56
1 Answer 1
Mishnah Berura 176:2 -
If he is planning on eating more fruit during the meal, and had in mind to continue eating the fruit during the meal, then it is all considered part of the meal and he does not make a borei nefashos, not before hamotzi and not after, as it is covered by the birkas hamazon that he will say.
If he does not plan to continue eating more during the meal, then he needs to make a borei nefashos. This borei nefashos should be made even during the meal. The implication of the Mishnah Berura is that it doesn't matter at what point you make the borei nefashos, as the eating of the fruit had nothing to do with the meal, and it could even be after birkas hamazon.
If he ate a vegetable (or any food that does not need a beracha when eaten during the meal) then he makes a borei nefashos even if he eats more during the meal, as the original pre-meal eating was perforce not part of the meal.
share|improve this answer
Thanks! I'm a little confused about your last sentence. Are you saying it's different between eating fruits and vegetables? Do you mean that he makes the borei nefashot before the meal in that case? Or is it just the same as the fruit example? (I guess the difference would be that one says ha-eitz even during a bread meal, if one already said borei nefashos?) – Kordovero May 16 at 13:20
_USER_ It is the same as fruit in the case that you do not plan to eat more during the meal. In the case of a vegetable, it is automatically treated as if you do not plan to have more. – YeZ May 16 at 17:47

6.4 Forecasting by analogy
A useful judgmental approach which is often implemented in practice is forecasting by analogy. A common example is the pricing of a house through an appraisal process. An appraiser estimates the market value of a house by comparing it to similar properties that have sold in the area. The degree of similarity depends on the attributes considered. With house appraisals, attributes such as land size, dwelling size, numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms, and garage space are usually considered.
Even thinking and discussing analogous products or situations can generate useful (and sometimes crucial) information. We illustrate this point with the following example.8
Example: Designing a high school curriculum
A small group of academics and teachers were assigned the task of developing a curriculum for teaching judgement and decision making under uncertainty for high schools in Israel. Each group member was asked to forecast how long it would take for the curriculum to be completed. Responses ranged between 18 and 30 months. One of the group members who was an expert in curriculum design was asked to consider analogous curricula developments around the world. He concluded that 40% of analogous groups he considered never completed the task. The rest took between 7 to 10 years. The Israel project was completed in 8 years.
Obviously, forecasting by analogy comes with challenges. We should aspire to base forecasts on multiple analogies rather than a single analogy, which may create biases. However, these may be challenging to identify. Similarly, we should aspire to consider multiple attributes. Identifying or even comparing these may not always be straightforward. As always, we suggest performing these comparisons and the forecasting process using a systematic approach. Developing a detailed scoring mechanism to rank attributes and record the process of ranking will always be useful.
A structured analogy
Alternatively, a structured approach comprising a panel of experts can be implemented, as was proposed by Green & Armstrong (2007). The concept is similar to that of a Delphi; however, the forecasting task is completed by considering analogies. First, a facilitator is appointed. Then the structured approach involves the following steps.
- A panel of experts who are likely to have experience with analogous situations is assembled.
- Tasks/challenges are set and distributed to the experts.
- Experts identify and describe as many analogies as they can, and generate forecasts based on each analogy.
- Experts list similarities and differences of each analogy to the target situation, then rate the similarity of each analogy to the target situation on a scale.
- Forecasts are derived by the facilitator using a set rule. This can be a weighted average, where the weights can be guided by the ranking scores of each analogy by the experts.
As with the Delphi approach, anonymity of the experts may be an advantage in not suppressing creativity, but could hinder collaboration. Green and Armstrong found no gain in collaboration between the experts in their results. A key finding was that experts with multiple analogies (more than two), and who had direct experience with the analogies, generated the most accurate forecasts.

Recommended Contract Pratices for Underground Construction (Paperback)William W. Edgerton (editor)
- We can order this
Recommended Contract Practices for Underground Construction is the first industry-wide effort to improve contract procedures in more than 30 years. Commissioned by the Underground Construction Association of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration, this manual is an indispensable resource for contractors, consultants, suppliers, and owners anticipating underground projects. The authors suggest better practices during all stages of a project, when decisions are made that can affect the contract positively or negatively.
Part one focuses on the practices and disciplines that build the foundation for effective contracts during the early phases of a project. Part two discusses best practices for contract provisions, payment mechanisms, and dispute resolution.
By following these recommendations, you'll reduce the mistrust and costly disputes that often arise from the contract process. The result will be improved relationships, better contracts, and, most importantly, projects that are most cost-effective for owners and more profitable for contractors.

Accounting Information Gathering System for Grid Environment
Grid computing represents the fundamental computing shift from a localized resource computing model to a fully-distributed virtual organization with shared resources. Accounting is one of the main obstacles to widespread adoption of the grid. Accounting has until recently, been a sparsely-addressed problem, particularly in practice. In this paper, we design and implement the accounting information gathering system. Implemented system is based on OGSA, following GSAX framework of RUS-WG in GGF. And the schema of gathered and serviced accounting information is following Usage Record Fields of UR-WG in GGF. Also, the accounting information integrating and monitoring tool for system management in the grid environment are implemented.


Virtual Provisioning
Definition - What does Virtual Provisioning mean?
Virtual provisioning is a virtual storage network (VSAN)-based technology in which storage space is allocated on demand to devices. This process allows virtualized environments to control the allocation and management of physical disk storage connected with virtual machines (VM).
Virtual provisioning is also known as thin provisioning. However, virtual provisioning is more relevant to a virtual environment, while thin provisioning is more relevant to physical computing implementations.
Techopedia explains Virtual Provisioning
Virtual provisioning presents but does not actually assign higher storage capacity to VMs. The underlying host allocates physical storage to each VM, based on actual requirements and as needed.
For example, a collective VSAN pool may contain 30 GB. A connected VM device may be presented with a logical space of 10 GB, but in actuality, the space may be smaller. Therefore, when the VM requests storage space, storage capacity up to 5 GB or more, if required and available, is allocated.

In college, therapists and assistants get very little education and training in the business and compliance aspect of outpatient physical, occupational and/or speech therapy services. If they do, it is usually limited to the basics of CPT coding, documentation and perhaps, some billing. In addition, many office managers and billing staff do not receive the proper education and training regarding when a Medicare beneficiary can be held financially liable for payment for outpatient therapy services. This webinar will focus solely on the advance beneficiary notice of noncoverage (ABN) form and will answer the following questions regarding the ABN:
- In what formats can I issue an ABN?
- Can I use the ABN form for my Medicare Advantage patients?
- Can I issue an ABN if I am not enrolled in the Medicare program?
- When can I issue an ABN to a Medicare beneficiary?
- When is an ABN not required to be issued to a Medicare beneficiary?
- How does the annual therapy threshold and targeted medical review impact me issuing an ABN?

Riverside Park, Dawson Springs
Dawson Springs' Riverside Park, sometimes called Tradewater Park, was originally built in 1914 to serve as a spring training park for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1914 to 1917. This is the only known baseball park in Kentucky to have hosted a major league team since the Louisville Colonels folded in 1899. While the original stadium was destroyed in a flood in the 1930s, it was later rebuilt in 1999. The park was reconstructed out of wood, just like the original stadium. It is the only ballpark of its kind in Western Kentucky. Riverside Park is now home to the Tradewater Pirates.

Dawson Springs is home to a mineral spring that was believed by many to have medical healing qualities. This led to Dawson Springs becoming a huge resort town. Thousands of people came to drink and bathe in the spring. Forty hotels sprung up to accommodate the health seekers. The large crowds that came to Dawson Springs was one of the reasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates to make it their spring training home.
Riverside Park was built in 1914 and served as the Spring Training Home of the Pirates from 1914 until 1917, when they moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas. The entire ballpark was made entirely from wood, from the grandstand to the dugout. Local citizens then constructed a large indoor pavilion for spring training and exhibition games and an additional wing was built onto the New Century Hotel to accommodate the players.
Some records from the era show that the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds also played expedition games there until the early 1920s. Teams came from all around to test the Pirates. They consisted of other major league squads, American Association teams, colleges, semi-pro teams, and even teams formed by local mining companies and businesses. Some teams came all the way from St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Philadelphia, as well as minor league squads from Columbus, Ohio and Toledo, Ohio to play at Riverside Park. However, once professional baseball left Dawson Springs, Riverside Park, while still hosting many local teams, among them members of the Kentucky-Illinois-Tennessee League (the Kitty League), continued to provide baseball for western Kentucky.
Sometime in the 1930s a devastating storm flooded a river that runs alongside the field's first base line, and washed away the entire stadium in a violent flood. In the decades following the flood, residents in Dawson Springs were only left with the memories of the ballpark.
Rebuilding the park
In 1999 Tradewater Park was rebuilt, as Riverside Park using the exact blueprints from 1914. Dawson Springs' Mayor Stacia Peyton funded a public project to rebuild the park. Public opinion reflected the need for the city to fund other civic needs instead of rebuilding an old ballpark. However Peyton pressed ahead with the plan, knowing how important the park was to the history of the city. The goal of the project was to make the stadium as authentic as possible to the original. Still, many locals believed the venture to be well-intended, but ill-fated. The largest stumbling block for the engineers reconstructing the park was in using only wood. The seats, roof, and beams were all made from wood, just like in 1914, to create a one-of-a kind ballpark. It is the only completely wooden ballpark in the region.
The Tradewater Pirates
The stadium was used until 2012 by the Tradewater Pirates of the KIT League and then the Ohio Valley League. The team was founded in 1999 and joined the KIT League in 2007. The Pirates' first game at Riverside was on July 4, 1999.
In 2008, the team celebrated its 10th anniversary. They are currently one of the most respected summer collegiate baseball programs in the nation.
Riverside Park also features the Hardball Cafe, featuring a menu of ballpark foods, flame-grilled meats, and a taco salad. The park is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to sunset, whenever no events are scheduled.
Honus Wagner and his buddies often went fishing at the Old Mill Dam, located right beside Riverside Park and a short walking distance from the New Century Hotel.

Raman spectroscopy analyses of road construction materials
Hoveddokument
Solids used in road construction were analyzed with a hand-held Raman spectrometer. The materials examined are conventional pigments and resins, e.g., CaCO3, TiO2 and DEGALAN®. The measured spectra differ considerably from one another. In order to assess the main differences between the chemical structures, the peaks of the spectra were assigned to the functional groups that generated them.

C# Question
Detect windows logon attempts programmatically using C#
I want to develop a windows forms application to monitor my network computers do login, logoff and login attempts details and do something based on detection. (For example send some notification for admin)
What I have tried:
I read about windows service, Windows Task Scheduler and Event auditing using Task Scheduler But I want to do it pragmatically. So my question is How can I detect windows logon attempts programmatically using C#?
Answer
To detect logon attempts you can rely on windows security events. Here you can see a list of security events and their meanings. Common events which you may be interested in are:
4624: An account was successfully logged on.
4625: An account failed to log on.
4648: A logon was attempted using explicit credentials.
4675: SIDs were filtered.
Detect Events using an Application/Service
You can detect logon attempts yourself by code using EventLog class and handling its EntryWritten event. The code sample below just logs the event in a file to show you can be informed of event and use it. Instead of writing in a file, you can send notification by email or run an application or do something else.
To test the code you should Run as Administrator. Also in a real environment you should make it like a service or configure it to run before user login.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 EventLog logListener = new EventLog("Security");
 logListener.EntryWritten += logListener_EntryWritten;
 logListener.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
}
void logListener_EntryWritten(object sender, EntryWrittenEventArgs e)
{
 //4624: An account was successfully logged on.
 //4625: An account failed to log on.
 //4648: A logon was attempted using explicit credentials.
 //4675: SIDs were filtered.
 var events = new int[] { 4624, 4625, 4648, 4675 };
 if (events.Contains(e.Entry.EventID))
 System.IO.File.AppendAllLines(@"d:\log.txt", new string[] {
 string.Format("{0}:{1}", e.Entry.EventID, e.Entry.Message)
 });
}
Note: As also you said in the question you can use Windows Scheduled Task to do something when an Event Occurred.
You can ask the Windows to do something for you when an unsuccessful logon attempt detected, for example run an application (which sends an email or somethings else). To do so, use Windows Task Scheduler and say the task run when an specific event occurred and specify suitable event source and Id. Also to see an example of complete steps see Getting event log contents by email on an event log trigger.

Create slash notation
Updated 6 years ago
If you want to write sheet music for a Jazz ensemble, Big Band, or other group performing improvisation, you may want to use "slash notation".
To do this, you can either perform the steps below or simply use the slash notation plugin. Only use the steps below if you really cant install the plugin (possibly because you aren't allowed to install the plugin or if installation fails).
This kind of notation is used to indicate when a solist is supposed to play a solo. It looks like this:
forward slashes show when to solo
As seen in the picture above, you can still add chord symbols and dynamics to the slashed bars.
In the current version of MuseScore, the process of creating slash notation is a bit complicated and involves the following steps:
 1. Fill a whole bar with quarter notes. They should be placed on the middle line of the stave. If your meter consists of an uneven number of eighth notes, use eighths instead.
 2. Select all those notes by selecting the whole bar. Then right click directly on one of the selected notes.
 In the resulting menu select the "Note Properties" entry.
 3. Now you will see something like this:
 4. You have to change some entries now.
 - Check the "stemless" checkbox on top to make the stem disappear.
 - Under "Note Properties", select "slash" as "Note Head Group".
 - Now you have to silence the note so it does not disturb playback. You can do this by selecting "user" as "velocity type" and "1" as velocity value. This step is optional, but highly recommended.
 (Note: setting the velocity to 1 makes the cursor treat it as a note. If value is 0, cursor just jumps over it during playback.)
 This is how your window should look now:
 5. Click "OK" and you are done!

The University of Michigan-Flint's Urban Alternatives House has been selected as one of the first landscapes to participate in a new program testing the nation's first rating system for green landscape design, construction and maintenance. The selection was made by the Sustainable Sites Initiative™ (SITES™).
SITES selected the Urban Alternatives House based on its extensive environmentally friendly elements. These sustainable practices include: removing invasive trees from the site, developing a landscape that includes space for food production, native plantings, rain gardens and managing rainwater on site.
The Urban Alternatives House will join more than 150 other pilot projects from 34 states as well as from Canada, Iceland and Spain as part of an international pilot project program to evaluate the new SITES rating system for sustainable landscapes, with and without buildings. Sustainable landscapes can clean water, reduce pollution and restore habitats, while providing significant economic and social benefits to land owners and municipalities.
"Working with the Sustainable Sites Initiatives (SITES) team and the other pilot projects around the country will give us the opportunity to take advantage of cutting edge expertise as we develop the garden site at the Urban Alternatives House," said UM-Flint Associate Richard Hill-Rowley. "It will also be a way for us to contribute to refining a new set of guidelines and benchmarks that will improve the sustainability of urban landscapes across the country."
The Urban Alternatives House joins the Smithsonian Institution's African American History & Culture museum, a New Orleans's project to absorb storm water on the streets of the Lower Ninth Ward flooded during Hurricane Katrina, and other pilot projects that range in size from large scale academic and corporate campuses and public parks with hundreds of acres, to small scale transportation corridors and private residences of less than one acre.

The Gateworks Ventana Family of Single Board Computers is well suited for multimedia applications. The Freescale i.MX6 processor has hardware encoding and decoding making for very little processor overhead. To take advantage of this hardware decoding it is important to always use the 'vpuenc' and 'vpudec' gstreamer pipeline elements.
- vpuenc – VPU (Video Processing Unit) encoder
- vpudec – VPU (Video Processing Unit) decoder
It is also important to use a high compression video format such as H.264 which uses significantly less network bandwidth while retaining good quality. To use this, we encode by using the following pipeline element:
- vpuenc codec=avc
When streaming over the network, TCP is a reliable protocol but often too stringentfor video applications. UDP is often preferred so that even if packets are lost, the stream will continue without waiting for the lost packet. To use UDP, we use the udpsrc and udpsink pipeline elements.
Here is an example pipeline to stream live video over the network using two Ventana Single Board Computers. Be sure the two single board computers are on the same network and can ping each other. Both should also be running OpenEmbedded Yocto operating system. An analog video camera is connected to the video input on a Ventana board. Another Ventana board is connected to a HDMI monitor.
Start the server board pipeline first: (board with HDMI monitor connected)
root@ventana:~# gst-launch udpsrc port=9001! h264parse! queue max-size-time=0 max-size-buffers=0! vpudec low-latency=true frame-plus=1 framedrop=false! mfw_v4lsink sync=false async=false
Then start the client pipeline (board with analog video camera connected)
root@ventana:~# gst-launch tvsrc device=/dev/video0! vpuenc codec=avc! udpsink host=192.168.1.2 port=9001sync=false async=false

On families of categorial grammars of bounded value, their learnability and related complexity questions
Full recordShow full item record
AbstractIn previous work, the learnability of several parameterized families of categorial grammar classes was studied. These classes were shown to be learnable in the technical sense of identifiability in the limit from positive data. They are defined in terms of bounds on parameters of the grammars which intuitively correspond to restrictions on linguistic aspects, such as the amount of lexical ambiguity. The time complexity of learning these classes has been studied. It was shown that, for most of these classes, selecting a grammar from the class that is consistent with given data is NP-hard. In this paper existing complexity results are sharpened by demonstrating W-hardness. Additionally, parameters are defined that allow FPT-results; roughly, this implies that if these parameters are fixed, these problems become tractable. We also define the new family Gk-sum-val , which is natural from the viewpoints of Parameterized Complexity, a flourishing area of Complexity Theory, and from Descriptional Complexity, a sub-area of Formal Language Theory. We prove its learnability, analyze its relation to other classes from the literature and prove a hierarchy theorem. This approach is then generalized to a parameterized family defined in terms of a bound on the descriptional complexity expressed as a Hölder norm. We show that both the hierarchy result and the property of finite elasticity (and thus learnability) are preserved under this generalization.

Community Goals in Elite: Dangerous
Community Goals in Elite Dangerous is a kind of mission that is shared by the entire community - for example a goal may be for the community to trade/donate enough food to a single system that is suffering a famine, or to trade/donate enough materials to build a large capital ship for one of the navies.
- The progress of community goals is shared between both Open, Private Group and Solo play.
- You cannot try to directly compete against a goal, but there may be individual community goals competing against each other (e.g. a race to build two capital ships)

One of the most important terms used in Income Tax, 1961 is Cost Inflation Index (CII). Understanding this term is very crucial for the correct computation of Long Term Capital Gains under Income Tax Act.
What is Cost Inflation Index?
Cost Inflation Index (CII) is a measure of inflation which is used in Income Tax Act, 1961 to compute long term capital gains on sale of capital assets. It comes under Section 48 of the Income Tax Act and is a quantifiable measure used to implement the concept of Indexation.
Cost Inflation Index from Financial Year 1981-82 to Financial Year 2016-17 is given below
|FINANCIAL YEAR||COST INFLATION INDEX|
Concept of Indexation
The value of rupee today is not same as it was some years back. The prices of commodities keeps on increasing due to a factor called Inflation. Hence the concept of Indexation is introduced in the Income Tax act to take into account, the effect of inflation while computing long term capital gain.
"Indexation helps us to counter the erosion in the value of the asset over a period of time. Using the inflation index, one needs to increase the purchase price of the asset so that it reflects inflation-adjusted true price in the year in which it is sold."
How is Cost Inflation Index Used to calculate Long Term Capital Gains?
Cost inflation Index is reported in terms of Financial Year not in terms of Assessment Year. In India, the Financial Year starts from 1st April and ends on 31st March of the following year. To understand how CII is used, one should have a basic understanding of the following terms:-
- Capital Assets: A capital asset is defined as property of any kind held by an assessee, whether connected with their business or profession or not. It includes assets which can be held by a person for example Mutual Funds, Shares, Real Estate, Gold, Fixed returns Instruments such as Fixed Deposit, etc.
- Long Term and Short Term capital assets: Assets are classified as Long Term or Short Term with reference to the period of holding of the assets till it is transferred. The classification is made on the following basis.
|Nature of Asset||Short Term Capital Asset||Long Term Capital Asset|
|(i) Shares in a company or any other security listed in a recognized stock exchange in India or equity oriented mutual fund||Held for not more than 12 months.||Held for more than 12 months.|
|(ii) Assets other than assets mentioned in (i) above.||Held for not more than 36 months.||Held for more than 36 months.|
How does CII helps in computing capital gain/loss?
As the original cost of acquisition is historical, the concept of Indexation allows the tax payer to take into account the effect of inflation and consequently, a lower amount of capital gains gets to be taxed. In indexation and capital gain parlance, the purchase price is called Indexed cost of Acquisition. Following is the formula of Indexed Cost of Acquisition.
Indexed Cost of Acquisition = (Actual cost of purchase) * (CII of Year of Sale) / (CII of Year of Purchase).
This can be explained with the help of following example:
Suppose a property is purchased in financial year (FY) 1995-96 for Rs 20 lacs. It is sold in financial year 2016 -17 for Rs 100 lacs.
Then, the gain would be = Rs 100 lacs – 20 lacs = Rs 80 lacs.
But if CII is considered then we need to calculate cost of 20 lacs of 1995-96 in the year 2011-2012.
From the table Inflation index in year 1995-96 is 281 and year 2011-2012 is 1125.
So, Indexed cost of Rs 20 lacs in the year 2011-2012 is = 20 * (1125/281) = 80.07
Hence, Long term capital gain = 100 – 80.07 = 19.93 lacs instead of Rs 80 lacs.
However, Indexation cannot be used for all asset classes. The benefit of Indexation cannot be used for Fixed returns Investments such as Fixed Deposit, Bonds, Debentures, NSC, etc.
