What does the flow look like from the Advocate point of view?
- Navigate to the AdvocateHub URL
- There are two scenarios:
- If they have previously logged in to your portal and the cookie is still present in the browser then they will be brought directly to the AdvocateHub.
- If they have not previously logged in and have no cookie they will be invited to enter their login credentials to your platform, upon successful entry of these, they will be brought to the AdvocateHub.
Note: If an advocate is already a member of another AdvocateHub with the same email address then there is one additional step in the flow. After they successfully enter their credentials into the customer portal, they will see a message like below:
An email will be sent to the Advocate which will include a link which they just have to click on and they will be brought back to the login screen to enter their credentials once more before gaining access to the AdvocateHub.
Here is a visual walkthrough of the flow the Advocate will experience:
How do invites work with SSO?
You can get Advocates into your hub in a number of ways:
1. Join Code/Join URL - These work exactly the same as they would on a non-SSO hub. Read more on them here
2. As enabling SAML means anybody with access to your Identity Provider can access Influitive, you can also provide your Advocates with just your hub URL and they will be able to access. The disadvantage of this is the lack of segmentation.
3. You can send out traditional email invites from our system or Marketo. If you send these the Advocate must use the link provided in these emails or else they may encounter permission issues.
Things To Think About If Implementing SSO On An Active Hub
What can you do to prepare for this?
Can I have Employees access the AdvocateHub via SSO but Customers access using the traditional method?
Using SAML, no, anybody who has an account setup in the platform you are utilizing SSO in will be able to access the AdvocateHub. This is a case of all or nothing. If you want to use SSO then everybody has to login using it. So for example, if you have employees who have accounts in your portal they can login through SSO, but if you have customers who don't have an account in your portal they have no way to login when SSO is enabled in your AdvocateHub.
Where are the 'Terms and Conditions' and Consent housed when using SSO?
How does the AdvocateHub App work with SSO?

A Study on the Awareness of Teachers about Social Media
Ph.D. Research Scholar
Mother Teresa Womens' University, Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu, India
The present study has been conducted among 72 teachers belong to various schools in all over Tamil Nadu to find out the awareness towards social media. The researcher used a self constructed tool for this research. The data collected was analysed and interpreted to draw inference using appropriate statistical methods like mean, standard deviation, t-test, and F-test. The result shows that there is a significant difference between the awareness of teachers towards social media with respect to the type of school, the teachers who have smart phones, and locality. Also it is revealed that there is no significant difference between the awareness of teachers towards social media with respect to the awareness of number of social sites and the time they spend in using social media.

CopyToOpenPrinter
Unit:SDL_plot3d
Class:TPlot3D
Declaration:procedure CopyToOpenPrinter (var x,y: integer; ScaleF: double; BlkWhite, IncludeFrame: boolean);
The method CopyToOpenPrinter is a more flexible alternative to the method PrintIt. It provides a way to create a graphical output on the currently selected printer. You may change the selected printer by assigning a proper value to the PrinterIndex property of the Printer object before calling CopyToOpenPrinter. In contrast to PrintIt, the user has to take care by himself that the printer object is already open for receiving data. This can be accomplished either by the method Printer.BeginDoc (see Delphi manual for details), or by assigning the printer output to a text file (Delphi procedure AssignPrn).
The variable parameters x and y contain the coordinates of the upper left corner of the plot in printer coordinates on entry of the routine, and return the printer coordinates of the lower right corner of the plot after the method has been finished. This feature can be used to combine several hardcopies on one page, since the x- and y-values after a first hardcopy can be partly used as inputs of the next hardcopy.
The parameter ScaleF determines the magnification factor of the printout. A factor of 1.0 creates an output which has roughly the size of the screen image. If the parameter BlkWhite is set to TRUE, the colors of the plot are suppressed and the plot is printed in black and white. This is normally the best way to proceed with B&W printers. The parameter IncludeFrame determines whether the frame of the component is included in the printout.
Example: The following code snippet shows a short example how to mix several graphics and some text on one printer page.

if PrinterDialog1.Execute then
 begin
 Printer.Title := 'Test';
 Printer.BeginDoc;
 Printer.Canvas.TextOut (300,180,'This is some text');
 Printer.Canvas.TextOut (300,380,'Another text line');
 x := 100;
 y := 520;
 Plot3D1.CopyToOpenPrinter (x,y, 0.8, true); { the first plot }
 Printer.Canvas.TextOut (300,y+50,'Yet another line of text');
 x := 300;
 y := y+280;
 Plot3D1.CopyToOpenPrinter (x,y, 0.4, true); { the second plot }
 Printer.EndDoc;
 end;
Hint: When printing to Adobe Distiller, release 7.0 or later, you have to specify the property Title of the printer (Printer.Title = 'Any Title'), otherwise the Adobe printer driver will crash.

Cool Electronic Toy for Kids: Symphony in B. by B. Toys
Symphony in B.
Last week, Toca Band was selected as Screen Play's app of the week for the sheer fun of mixing and matching musical melodies and rhythms. If you'd like to give your child a similar musical experience in the real world (as opposed to the virtual one), Symphony in B. by B. Toys is a gem of a toy that kids of all ages will enjoy.
B. Toys is known for its innovative, colorful and highly interactive toys. I featured another one of its popular products last year – the Alphaberry. Symphony in B. is another hit and combines so many different learning experiences into one. Fashioned as an orchestra pit of sorts, the toy lets its users explore different sounds, lights and musical combinations.
Similar to the Toca Band app where players and instruments can be moved around to hear different effects, the 13 instruments that come with this toy do the same thing. Kids can place up to six instruments in the center and the sensors at the bottom immediately play whatever sounds that particular instrument makes. With 15 different songs to choose from and 13 instruments, the different combinations are limitless.
Buttons on the toy also designate which instruments are classified as percussion, woodwinds, brass, keyboard and strings. Maybe a concept a tad advanced for its youngest users, but great tidbits to know as kids learn more about instruments. In addition to forming an appreciation for music, the Symphony in B. also helps kids practice learning about colors and shapes when putting the instruments back into place.
B. Toys has created another masterpiece with the Symphony in B. Your little musical genius will love it.
To see how the toy works, check out this video demonstration.
Symphony in B. is available from for $49.99.

The first public park within the city limits of Seattle was Denny Park - a gift to the city by David T. Denny in 1884.
In 1887, the Board of Park Commissioners was established to oversee development of the Seattle park system.
Seattle Parks Commissioners hired the famed Olmsted Brothers landscape
architecture firm in 1903 to design a comprehensive system of parks
and boulevards for the city. The Olmsted Plan for Seattles parks
spurred the early development of the Seattle park system and has been
the basis of our modern day park system.

SAN FRANCISCO—A lesson plan for the San Francisco Unified School District has been proposed to teachers to help navigate classroom discussions about president-elect Donald Trump. The opening letter to teachers describes Trump as a racist, sexist man that won the election by "pandering to a huge racist and sexist base." The plan was initially written by a SF teacher after the election to help teachers to answer questions of their students following the election results. It has since been sent via email to more than 6,000 school district members by the United Educators of San Francisco (UESF).
Fakhra Shah, a social studies teacher at Mission High School wrote the lesson plan at 2:00 a.m. following the election. She indicated that she had no intentions of the lesson plan spreading throughout the city and that it was the teacher's union that was responsible for the distribution.
"We're calling him out," states Shah, "if he's our president, I have the right to hold him accountable and ask him to take a stance that is anti-hate and anti-racist." In the lesson plan, she states that teacher's have the jurisdictions to set their own "norms" and to prohibit their students from "swearing."
Some of the objectives in the lesson plan include:
- Students expressing their personal experiences with discrimination
- A deeper understanding behind the motivation of Trump supporters
- An American context of racial violence, sexism, etc.
Shah includes resources, lesson plans with sources such as a documentary by Michael Moore, and the focus of creating a learning environment where the youth are not penalized for the way they express themselves in terms of discrimination.
Since the release of this lesson plan, other union members have come forward to express their viewpoints on the matter. Vice President of the Board of Education Shamann Walton is concerned with history repeating itself stating: "In order for us to avoid all of that darkness in all of our too recent history, we cannot sit idly by and pretend that this is not hurtful."
Republicans have revealed antipodal opinions on the matter. Republican National Committee Harmeet Dhillon defined the lesson plan as, "inappropriate propaganda that unfairly demonizes not only the campaign that Donald Trump, the winner, ran, but also all of the people who voted for him."
The UESF posted an explanation of the lesson plan on their website on Friday, November 18 stating: "Following a bitter and divisive presidential campaign, during which our President-elect made a series of racist, sexist, and xenophobic remarks, many of our students have expressed feelings of fear, intimidation, and uncertainty."
In addition to that statement, the UESF also provided support for those who were in favor of Trump writing that students "should be protected from intimidation and fear and their voice should be included in all discussions about the presidential race and the future."
The UESF plans on creating a committee of "rank-and-file educators" to ensure age-appropriate lesson plans synchronously with current events.


Data Centers (DC) are complex systems, which provide an environment to host Information and Technologies (IT) equipment. DCs are typically composed of a variety of components including servers, storage systems, networking infrastructures in addition to non-IT equipment such as power distribution and cooling systems. In order for a DC to function properly, all of its components need to be correctly configured and integrated. However, the variety of configurations and the interdependencies of DC sub-systems create challenges in understanding and optimizing DC complexities. In this paper, we present a system modeling approach, which supports the design of DCs and a quantitative assessment of their energy efficiency. This modeling approach aims at controlling the design complexity of DC infrastructure and ensuring the consistency of such designs. The cornerstone of our approach is a generic DC metamodel (DCMM), which captures the DCs heterogeneous structure, main characteristics, and diverse constraints. Furthermore, we propose a method to generate a Power Flow Model (PFM) from an input DC model. The PFM is then used to compute the DC Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric. We evaluate the applicability of our approach through a use case of the Consortium Laval-UQAM-McGill and Eastern Quebec (CLUMEQ) data center.

Colorful and Variegated Tree Sparrow, a High-Flying Songbird
GardenBy May 24, 2024
The tree sparrow (Passer montanus), also known as the Eurasian tree sparrow, is a captivating and vibrant songbird. With its colorful and variegated plumage, this high-flying species is a remarkable sight to behold. In this article, we will explore the characteristics and behaviors of the tree sparrow, shedding light on its unique features and the importance of its role in the avian world.
Appearance
The tree sparrow is a small bird, measuring approximately 14 to 16 centimeters in length with a wingspan of 26 centimeters. Its lightweight body weighs between 17 to 30 grams. What sets the tree sparrow apart is its striking plumage, which features a harmonious blend of colors. The upper part of its body, including the mantle and upper back, displays a rich brown-chocolate hue. The lower part, specifically the belly, is adorned in a vinous pink shade, gradually fading to white towards the lower section.
The head of the tree sparrow showcases a delicate plumage in slate-blue, with the exception of a black forehead and chestnut-colored cheeks. The upper wings flaunt black feathers, marked by two prominent white bars, while the rest of the wings transition to a light yellow shade. The rump is a lustrous olive green, the tail is black with white streaks, and the legs and feet are a rosy-brown color. The tree sparrow's beak is small, conical, and grayish-blue in color.
During the breeding season, the plumage of the tree sparrow becomes even more vibrant and colorful. Conversely, in winter, its feathers lose their luster, only to regain their brilliance as spring arrives.
Habitat and Distribution
The tree sparrow is found in Europe and Western Asia, with its range spanning from Western Europe to Central Siberia. It can be observed as far north as Scandinavia and as far south as the northern edge of Africa. While the tree sparrow primarily inhabits forests, particularly open woodlands, it is also adaptable to various environments. It can thrive in urban parks, gardens, cultivated areas, orchards, and even in forests with its abundance in those habitats. This adaptability enables the tree sparrow to remain one of the most prevalent passerines in forested regions.
Behavior
The tree sparrow is known for its distinct vocalizations. Its contact call is a recognizable "pink-pink," which is often heard early in the morning. Additionally, the tree sparrow produces a varied array of melodic notes, lending a cheerful and dynamic quality to its song. During the breeding season, the male tree sparrow utilizes its call to defend its nest and territory, a behavior that differs from region to region.
While the tree sparrow can be social, particularly during other seasons, the male exhibits territorial behavior during the breeding period. It perches conspicuously and sings to defend its space. While it forages on the ground by hopping from place to place, it prefers nesting in concealed branches. In most cases, tree sparrows are sedentary, remaining in their territories throughout the year. Interestingly, outside the breeding season, the male tree sparrows live apart from females and young individuals, forming separate groups. This unique tendency has earned the species its scientific name, "coelebs," which means "bachelor."
Feeding Habits
The tree sparrow has an omnivorous diet, consuming both plant and animal-based food sources. During the warmer months, it primarily feeds on insects such as caterpillars, flies, spiders, larvae, and earthworms. In other seasons, its diet consists predominantly of seeds, which provide the necessary energy for migratory birds, along with flowers, buds, and fallen fruits. The tree sparrow finds its food on the ground, utilizing various foraging techniques.
Reproduction
Breeding season typically begins from April and extends until July. During this period, the female tree sparrow constructs the nest, starting as early as March. Building the nest involves numerous trips, with the female gathering moss, rootlets, and plant fibers, intricately weaving them together and blending them into the surroundings. The nest is carefully designed with a cup shape, lined with feathers and hairs. Its exterior is adorned with lichens for camouflage. Once completed, the nest is secured on sturdy branches, in forks or crevices.
The female alone incubates the 4 to 5 pale blue and speckled eggs for a duration of 11 to 14 days. Upon hatching, the male joins the female in feeding the nestlings, predominantly providing them with insects. The tree sparrow typically raises one brood per year, although second broods may occur if the first one was early in the season. The fledglings remain in the nest for approximately 15 days before taking flight.
Importance in the Garden
The tree sparrow's fondness for seeds may lead it to feast on newly sown seeds in gardens, especially during seasons when insects are scarce. However, its impact on crops is minimal, and it plays a vital role in naturally controlling insect populations that can damage vegetables, plants, and flowers. As such, welcoming tree sparrows into gardens proves beneficial for protecting plantations without the need for chemical intervention.
Conservation Status
The tree sparrow is not currently considered a threatened species. Although its population has experienced a decline, it is less impacted compared to other avian species due to its forest habitat. Birds in agricultural environments, on the other hand, face greater challenges due to the widespread use of pesticides. While forests are unfortunately diminishing, the tree sparrow demonstrates a relatively successful ability to adapt to alternative environments, ensuring its survival.
In conclusion, the tree sparrow is a captivating and colorful songbird that enchants with its vibrant plumage and melodious call. Its adaptability allows it to thrive in various habitats while playing a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance. The tree sparrow is a delightful addition to any garden, offering natural pest control and adding a touch of beauty to the avian world.

Bugs and Limitations
Directory timestamps aren't preserved
Rclone doesn't currently preserve the timestamps of directories. This is because rclone only really considers objects when syncing.
Rclone struggles with millions of files in a directory/bucket
Currently rclone loads each directory/bucket entirely into memory before using it. Since each rclone object takes 0.5k-1k of memory this can take a very long time and use a large amount of memory.
Millions of files in a directory tends to occur on bucket-based remotes (e.g. S3 buckets) since those remotes do not segregate subdirectories within the bucket.
Bucket based remotes and folders
Bucket based remotes (e.g. S3/GCS/Swift/B2) do not have a concept of directories. Rclone therefore cannot create directories in them which means that empty directories on a bucket based remote will tend to disappear.
Some software creates empty keys ending in / as directory markers. Rclone doesn't do this as it potentially creates more objects and costs more. This ability may be added in the future (probably via a flag/option).
Bugs are stored in rclone's GitHub project:

How to make double hung windows using old materials
Use of double hung windows in homes is quite old and still there are large numbers of people who prefer them for their homes. The leading benefit of these windows is that they are suitable for almost every home. Generally, when it is the matter of double hung windows, people prefer to design their own windows with their own efforts. People prefer to design double hung windows by own efforts mainly because of the reason that they will get what exactly they want. Any material that suits the windows can be used for this tasks but majority of time people prefer old materials for designing the double hung windows.
There is lot of things that one has to keep in the mind before designing the double hung window through old materials. It is necessary to consider influences on a design before starting any work. Also it is better to have a look at the features of the design.
1. Selection of materials
When it is the matter of choosing old materials, there are large number of options that are easily available. Selection of materials depends upon on lot of things and especially on the type of weather on the place where these windows are to be installed.
2. Designing the double hung windows using wood
Wood is one of the better options for designing such windows. Generally, wood is one of the oldest materials available for this and is preferred for this task mainly because of its durability. For designing the double hung windows through wood, what one has to do is:
- Firstly, select the design and size of the window to be designed.
- Next step is to cut the wood as per the design. Cutting tasks include cutting of wood in different shapes and sizes so better is cut them with full concentration. For this, some of the tools are needed which can be taken on rent. Use of red cedar wood is a great option.
- Wooden parts can be joined using iron sticks.
- Paint the windows once they are installed because painting them before installation may destroy the paint during installation.
- Selection of glass is not a big task and majority of times a plain glass is used.
It must always be remembered that wood is not suitable for all weather conditions. Wood is a better option for places have less annual rainfall in a year.
3. Using iron for designing double hung windows
The use of iron for designing double hung window is quite common just like wood. The iron has its own merits and demerits over wood. The designing procedure of these windows through iron is same as design of windows through wood but there is one major issue with iron and that is cutting and designing of iron is quite hard and for this sometime complex tools are required. It is because of this reason, people do not prefer DIY task for designing double hung window through iron. Generally, iron double hung windows are suitable for majority of weather conditions.
4. Plastic is another wise choice
Just like iron and wood, plastic is another one of the oldest materials that is preferred by large number of people for designing double hung window in their own way. The leading advantage of plastic is that it is suitable for any design any size. Another advantage of plastic is its low cost and long life. Plastic has one leading disadvantage and that is it loses its grace, when come under direct sunlight and thus not suitable for places having dry atmosphere.
Some important things to be kept in mind while using plastic are:
- This material needs perfect cutting and a small variation in size may result in failure of entire design.
- Joining the plastic needs lot of care and thus task is performed by a burning process.
5. Installation of double hung windows
There are generally two sashes that one has to implement while designing the double hung windows. One sash is at the top of window while other at the bottom. Both of them are movable. Balancing devices are used for shifting the sashes up and down and they also support their movement as well. The overall weight of sash is balanced by overall weight of balancing devices thus windows can easily be set at any position.
Double hung windows can easily be designed using old materials and by preferring old materials one can have lot of benefits including cost saving and especially one can get the desired design for his/her double hung windows. Use of double hung windows designed with old materials has become a modern trend nowadays.

TO ALL WATER DISTRICT CUSTOMERS
Please be advised that as we move through the summer months, and are enjoying this incredibly beautiful weather, we find that due to a lack of rain, our wells are experiencing reduced water levels. As a result of these recent conditions, effective August 1, 22, 2022, the Town of Chester will move forward with Water Restrictions from our Emergency Response Plan.
Pursuant to Section 4 of our Emergency Response Plan, we are taking a proactive step in the conservation of one of our most important resources; our water. When adequate water levels can be achieved, and we can meet the demand on our system, which continues to increase, we will be able to ease water restrictions and allow our users to return to their normal use. As always, it always is a great idea to find ways to conserve water, as it is a commodity that is not in endless supply.
We will continue to monitor the water levels at our wells, as well as the water usage consumed daily by our customers. The following water conservation practices are encouraged:
We further encourage commercial restaurants to utilize paper products where possible. This measure would be done on a voluntary basis and will reduce water usage where possible. These measures are helpful in our efforts to maintain water service for our Town users and will help to prevent further water restriction measures.
Please let us come together as a community in helping to preserve our water supply. We appreciate your cooperation during this time. For additional information or questions please contact the Town of Chester Town Clerk's Office at _PHONE_×322.

easier to handle. Also, when you swing the katana from side to side, the center of gravity of the hand allows you to move the katana as you wish.
Although it is possible to adjust the center of gravity somewhat with the tsuba, the center of gravity of a Japanese katana is roughly determined by the chain of the katana. The center of gravity of a koshibari sword, which is often found on Japanese swords from the late Heian to early Kamakura period, is naturally located closer to the hand because the center of the koshibari is closer to the hand.
At the time koshi-wari katana were made, most battles were fought on horseback. Even though bows and arrows were the main weapons of war at that time, when a Japanese katana was drawn on horseback, it was wielded with one hand. The Japanese katana with a curved edge near the hand was easier to draw from horseback, but the Japanese katana with a center of gravity near the hand was more useful at the time because it seemed lighter than its actual weight and could be handled more freely. In modern iaido, where the emphasis is on speed, it is said that the katana is more balanced if its center of gravity is located near the hand.
On the other hand, the center of gravity of the hand has a disadvantage. The Japanese katana is a powerful weapon not only because of its sharpness, but also because of its weight and balance. In addition, with the center of gravity close to the hand, the slightest blur of the blade is easily transmitted to the line of the blade, resulting in a misalignment of the striking position. While being light and easy to handle is usually an advantage, this is not always the case when swinging the katana.
The "center of gravity of the tip", which seems heavy and difficult to handle.
"Sagashin" means that the center of gravity of the sword is located closer to the spearhead/kirisaki (the tip of the blade), as opposed to the center of gravity of the sword itself. When you hold a katana with a sagashi center of gravity, you will easily get the impression that the katana is heavier than it actually is. The two most common types of Sagashira katanas are Sagatari, in which the center of the bow is near the spearhead/kirisaki, and Muhariri, in which there is almost no bow at all.
From the Muromachi period to the Sengoku period, as the scale of battles increased, there was a shift from horseback warfare to foot warfare (kachi). Especially during the Sengoku period, not only warriors but also farmers participated in battles as foot soldiers. The Japanese katana, with its curved edge near the tip of the spear, had the advantage of cutting the enemy more sharply, which made it easier to inflict damage on the enemy.
The center of gravity of the tip also places a greater load on the person wielding the katana, but it is also easier to transfer the weight to the person being cut. Therefore, even those who were not skilled in martial arts, such as infantrymen, could inflict a fatal blow with the weight of a Japanese sword, and this is why the katana with a point center of gravity was widely used. It can be said that a Japanese katana with a pointed center of gravity was more likely to deliver a heavy blow to a target than a Japanese sword with a center of gravity in hand.
Weight of Japanese katanas adapted to modern practical use
In the modern era, iaido and other forms of iaido are places where the Japanese katana can be actually used. The Japanese katana required for modern practice must be easy to use in real handling situations such as iaido and cutting trials, and a sense of unity between the user and the Japanese katana is important. In addition to being able to be handled quickly and freely, the katana must also be strong enough to cut an object, as in cutting trials, and have an appropriate weight.
The overall balance of the Japanese katana is important to its handling. For example, if the center of gravity of the point gains too much and the katana seems heavier than its actual weight (making it difficult to handle) it is necessary to modify the shape of the handle or tsuba. There is no such thing as a Japanese katana that is easy to handle for everyone, and it often depends on one's sensitivity.

WAGONS AS MEMORIALISATION
On the B6213 Fountain Street roundabout in Morley, south east of Leeds, stands a Hudson V-skip tipper wagon, spilling its load of flowers into the surrounding flowerbed. The wagon originally formed part of the Leeds Industrial Museum collection, but was deaccessioned in the 1990s. It presumably memorialises the Robert Hudson connection with the town, both through ownership of collieries and the nearby location of the wagon works.
It is a very relevant example of the use of disused industrial wagons to act as memorials to now-vanished mines, quarries and other activities. Mine wagons especially can be found all over the world marking places that have lost a principal reason for being, a major employer, a maker and destroyer of local landscapes, a site of tragedy or the glue that held a community together. So meaningful are these objects that in some cases, if no original wagons have survived, replicas have been constructed (e.g. Wallyford, Lothian, a wagon memorialising miners killed in local mines). This can be confusing for historians of wagons!
It is of course very likely that some of these wagons will have originated in Leeds. This research has not located a gazeteer of these memorials, though they are regularly reported in the publications of the Industrial Railway Society.

Carrara marble quarries are situated nearby the city of Carrara in the province of Massa-Carrara in the Lunigiana, the northernmost tip of Tuscany. Carrara marble is a type of white or blue-grey marble of very high quality, popular for use in sculpture and building decor.
Carrara marble has been used since the time of Ancient Rome. Huge blocks of marble were loaded onto ships and were then transported from the port of Luni to Rome. The marble was used for the decorations of the roman temples. The real breakthrough in marble quarrying came in the 16th century with the advent of explosives. During the Renaissance marble was used by Michelangelo for his sculptures, the artist came personally to select the blocks of marble for his works (for example for the David, the Pietà and the Moses).
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the marble quarries were monitored by the noble Cybo and Malaspina. At the end of the 19th century, Carrara became the cradle of anarchism in Italy, in particular among the quarry workers. Many of them were ex-convicts or fugitives from justice. The work at the quarries was so tough and arduous that almost any aspirant worker with sufficient muscle and endurance was employed, regardless of their background. In the middle of the twentieth century Carrara marble has been loved by fashists: Mussolini even gave the marble of Carrara for one of the two mosques of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
The quarries are places where for many centuries marble was quarried. There are two types of marble quarries: closed and open. There are currently about 270 active Carrara marble quarries, and in these quarries the world's most advanced technology is used. Yet although there are hundreds of Carrara quarries, only a few yield the top quality marble so prized for its colour and texture. The best marble is „hidden" very deep in the mount, and it is pure white and has a perfect texture.
UnseenTuscany.com author Federico Baglini joined Carrara Marble Jeep Tour. Carrara Marble Tour offers off road 4×4 trip in the stunning scenery of the Carrara marble basins, where some scenes of the James Bond Quantum of Solace film were shooted in 2008. This tour is a unique possibility to see stunning places usually inaccessible to most visitors and discover the world of Carrara's marble.
The itinerary starts at Fantiscritti parking place. The professional driver of 4X4 off road vehicle (up to 9 seats) brings you up through a steep marble road connecting a net of 30 open-air active quarries at an altitude of almost 1000 m above the sea level. Here you can admire a breathtaking view over the entire Apuan-Versilian coastline. Inside the quarrying site, our tour guide gives information about both ancient and modern methods of excavation of marble.

How to Open XER File?
What is a Primavera P6 XER Project File?
An XER file is a file format natively used by the Oracle® Primavera P6 enterprise project and portfolio planning and management software solutions. Software tools from the Primavera suite of Construction and Engineering solutions such as the P6 use the.xer file format to store schedule data about the projects created within the application.
The XER file format is used to store the data upon an export and communicate the project information between different project stakeholders and P6 databases.
In its textual structure this file format has the potential to store enormous amount of project data. The P6 application is a complex solutions dedicated to match the needs of large organizations and therefore it has the potential to store schedule data in more than 170 tables, associated with different relationships. When this data is exported on an.xer file it is roughly gathered in 20 to 66 tables. Different categories of project data are imprinted into the output file, such as records and data values for Global, Project, Activity Codes, Calendars, Activities, Projects, Resources and their inter-relationships.
XER files can be opened by the Primavera P6 software itself, but a more easier way to open an XER file is through the ScheduleReader software, due to the fact that this XER file viewer does not connect to any database and can open large project files in this or the XML file format in a matter of seconds.
This.xer file reader is a standalone, independently developed software solution and it is not connected or associated with the Oracle® corporation.
Following are the instructions of how to open an XER file with ScheduleReaderTM.

Question: Do You Put Hinges On Door First?
Which way do you install door hinges?
Here's how they work: Left-hand hinges get installed on the left-hand side of the door if you want the door to open inward with the knob on the right side of the door.
Install them on the right-hand side if you want the door to open outward with the knob on the left-hand side of the door..
Should I put hinges on cabinet door or frame first?
Always consider hinge placement before installing hinges on any cabinet door. This comes before the door is hung, and standard hinge placement measurements should be used.
Do you need 3 hinges on a door?
Usually at least 3 hinges need to be fitted on a door. Light weight internal domestic doors may be fitted with only 2 hinges. Doors with a security function need to have at least 3 hinges, as this makes them more difficult to force. … For doors over 2200mm tall, then four hinges can be used to prevent warping.
What is the best way to hang cabinet doors?
One hand holding the door, one hand screwing the screws. Take off bottom hinge first, then top, remove the door. Replace the new hinges on the door and rest the door on your spacer. The holes will line up perfectly.
Why do bathroom doors need 3 hinges?
The third(centre) hinge WILL take weight from the door. AND it will actually help PREVENT warping(one of the main reasons to have a third hinge).
How many hinges should be on a door?
The general rule used to determine the number of hinges is: Every door should be provided with at least one hinge for every 30 inches in height or portion thereof; however, more hinges may be required per chart below. For example, a 90″ door needs three hinges and a 91″ door needs four.
Do hinges go inside or outside?
Most exterior doors open toward the inside of the house. That means the hinges, which hold the door in place, are located inside the house.
Can you put a new door on an existing frame?
A door has two frames. … You can install a new door to replace an old or damaged door in two ways: Use a "prehung" door already set into a finish frame to replace the old door and jambs, or use the existing jambs and set a new door into the hinges. Either method requires some carpentry skill.
Can you replace a door without replacing the frame?
Where do you place 3 hinges on a door?
As for the 3rd hinge, you could put it in the middle, but personally I would put it somewhere more towards the top, as that is where all the weight is in the door. I would say an inch or 2 below the top hinge.

Cost of Power Interruptions to Electricity Consumers in the United States
Kristina Hamachi LaCommare and Joseph H. Eto
The massive electric power blackout in the northeastern U.S. and Canada on August 14-15, 2003 catalyzed discussions about modernizing the U.S. electricity grid. Industry sources suggested that investments of $50 to $100 billion would be needed. This work seeks to better understand an important piece of information that has been missing from these discussions: what do power interruptions and fluctuations in power quality (power-quality events) cost electricity consumers? The authors have developed a bottom-up approach for assessing the cost to U.S. electricity consumers of power interruptions and power-quality events (referred to collectively as "reliability events"). The approach can be used to help assess the potential benefits of investments in improving the reliability of the grid. They have also developed a new estimate based on publicly available information, and assessed how uncertainties in these data affect this estimate using sensitivity analysis.

Development of sensor for monitoring sodium and potassium ions in the greenhouse water system
17/12/2020 – 17/04/2021
Sustainable agriculture and efficient greenhouse management
Sodium ions (Na+) in water can directly injure plant roots and interfere with water and nutrient uptake and is one of the main reasons why greenhouses discharge their water as waste. Potassium ions (K+) is an essential component of plant growth and the lack of it will result in stunting plant growth. With current technology, the analysis of water quality requires samples to be taken to a laboratory periodically. Appsen with the support of Wetsus aims to develop a new technological solution to measure in-line Sodium ions (Na+) and Potassium ions (K+) in greenhouse waters to protect drops and generate savings for greenhouse owners.


When does 35 not equal 35?
… and when does 35 – 35 not equal zero?
In the first case the answer is when one "35" is on an Excel spreadsheet and the other 35 is in VBA. The question arose from the ongoing continuous beam discussion with metroxx, who had, quite reasonably, generated a series of output points by calculating the length of one step (35/30) then adding this value to the previous length in 30 stages. This mysteriously caused an error in the function for no obvious reason.
Stepping through the code I found that the error was occurring when the last output point was compared to the beam length and found to be greater. The mysterious part was that both on the worksheet (formatted to 15 decimal places), and in the VBA Locals window, both values displayed as being exactly 35. Also entering the formula = A62 – 35 returned exactly zero.
To investigate what was going on I wrote the short VBA function shown below:
Function Diff(A As Double, B As Double) As Double
Diff = A - B
End Function
The function simply subtracts B from A, but using this function with the incrementally generated "35" as A and the "exact" 35 as B returned a value of 7.11E-15, even though stepping through the routine both variables displayed as exactly 35 in the locals window.
The answer to the second question is the same as the first (as would be expected), but also in some cases this behaviour can be seen on the spreadsheet with no VBA involved. As stated above, the formula = A62 – 35 returns exactly zero, but the formula = (A62 – 35) returns 7.11E-15, the same as the UDF! The screenshots below show more detail of this behaviour.
In the spreadsheet in column B I have generated 30 increments with the formula =(B7+$C$4), where C4 is =C2/C3, i.e. 35/30.
The value in column C are generated with =$C$2*A8/$C$3, where C2 is the beam length, A8 is the increment number, and C3 is the number of increments (30). Column D contains the the formula =B8 – C8, Column E: =Diff(B8, CB), and column F: =(B8 – C8).
Floating point value check - click to view full size
Error in Column D result
It can be seen that Column D has returned a difference of zero in all cases, even though the VBA function in Column E and the formula in Column F show a difference of up to 1.42E-14.
These differences are of course caused in part by the fact that all values are stored as binary floating point values, that cannot represent all decimal or fractional values exactly. This is described in several Microsoft documents (e.g. Understanding Floating Point Precision), which all claim that Excel follows the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic. Clearly this is not the whole story though, since the example given generates errors up to an order of magnitude greater than the maximum difference between any exact value and the nearest floating point value, and also generates different results depending on how worksheet formulas are entered.
I would be interested if anyone has any more background on exactly how these things are handled in Excel, but for practical purposes I think the lessons are:
 - When comparing non-integer values be aware that values that display as exactly equal may be stored as different values.
 - When comparing doubles in VBA either round the values to a suitable precision, or check that the difference is less than some small value, rather than exactly zero.
 - Calculations that involve the difference between two nearly equal values may give incorrect results. Consider carrying out this type of calculation entirely in VBA (or if necessary in a different language offering higher precision calculations).
Example added 27th Dec 2011:
Another example of the effect of brackets:
 - Cell B4, =B2 + B3, displays as exactly 1, because the 1.6E-15 would be the 16th and 17th significant figure, but only 15 significant figures are displayed.
 - Cell B5, =B4 – 1, displays as exactly 0, the contents of B4 being treated as the displayed value.
 - Cell B6, =(B2 + B3), displays as exactly 1, the same as B4, as would be expected.
 - But Cell B7, =B6-1, displays as 0.000000000000001554, using the decimal equivalent of the underlying value stored in B6, rather than the displayed value.
 - Cell B8, =(B6-B4), displays exactly 0, using the displayed values in both cells
 - Cell B9, = B7-B5, displays 1.554E-15 (i.e. the same as B7), so
 ((1+x))-(1+x) <> ((1+x)-1)-(1+x-1) !

 Hi all, here comes a short list of links that helped me to understand what IEEE 754 DP really means for computational arithmetics:
 here MS states where VBA (not XL!!) adheres to IEEE 754 and where not
 imho, good summary of all effects
 homepage of Prof. Kahan, many papers available for download; among them this nice "fatwah" on Java's IEEE implementation; imho, even VBA programmers can learn much from it
 Click to access JAVAhurt.pdf
 imho, a nice website on the subject
 "staircase to hell" demonstrating one of XL's dirty secrets, i.e., manipulating a wide range of numbers around the exact doubles
 According to my experience, XL cannot be used to pre-test VBA code in detail because firstly, the results of even simple arithmetic operations may differ and secondly, even the standard mathematical functions sometimes yield different results in XL and VBA, resp. This holds true for XL10/VBA6/x32 as well as for XL14/VBA7/x64. Moreover, unlike C or Fortran VBA does not seem to take full advantage of the cache registers providing extended precision for intermediate results that all modern processors are equipped with. Therefore, I recommend to use VBA only to interface to routines written in a more suitable language like C or Fortran if accuracy really matters, for example when solving ODEs or PDEs, resp.

 Agree it's strange that parentheses around a formula can change the result?!
 The differences in column F of the screenshot are exact binary powers: 2^-50, 2^-49, etc. as one might expect from the binary representations. This ties in with the fact that Excel truncates numbers beyond the fifteenth significant figure in calculations (_URL_ whereas seventeen significant figures are needed to store numbers exactly in the xml file formats. In VBA results are displayed rounded to fifteen significant figures but are stored internally to greater precision.
 - lhm says:
 After further investigation, it's clear that formulas in column D return zeroes due to truncation but the differences in column F are generic IEEE double round-off errors. For instance this c code returns identical results:
 double sum=0;
 int i;
 (The chart could also be converted to a step chart if desired.)
 3. Georg says:
 Ihm, the key needed to understand all those "strange" effects occuring with the DP numbers is to realise that the gap between two adjacent DP numbers doubles at each exact non-zero power of two. That is why in VBA if statements, e.g., you should only compare DP numbers to 0# and not to any other DP number, because in the latter case the interval yielding true/false is no more symmetric around your DP reference number.
 Imho, the behaviour of the DP numbers can only be fully understood if we look at their binary representation and not at their (mostly) rounded decimal representation. If you know that 0.1 is internally approximated by the IEEE 754 DP binary number 3F B9 99 99 99 99 99 9A (little endian byte order), and that 0.5-0.4 is approximated by 3F B9 99 99 99 99 99 98, you will not be surprised that 2^55*(0.1-(0.5-0.4)) yields a result of 1, whereas 2^55*((0.5-0.4)-0.1) yields a result of -1, though mathematically, both should yield exactly 0. Afaik, forthcoming versions of xNumbers will provide functions that allow for conversions between the decimal and binary representation of a variable of type "Double" in VBA. That VBA lacks the support of subnormal numbers is a big difference between VBA and F, C,… Start with 2^(-1070) and successively divide by 2 in XL, VBA, C, F… and print out the results…

Addressing student wellbeing for Work Integrated Learning success
Work Integrated Learning (WIL) students are seeking greater levels of support from universities to reflect the personal and financial stresses associated with their participation, according to a new report.
The research led by Dr Deanna Grant-Smith from Queensland University of Technology and funded by the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education informed recommendations to improve WIL student outcomes through the refinement of program policies and practices.
Australian universities are under increasing pressure to support students to develop the graduate skills and knowledge required to transition from education into professional practice. The adoption of a range of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) approaches to achieve this aim represents an increasingly prevalent part of the tertiary education landscape. However, successes in increasing the participation of diverse groups in higher education challenge assumptions regarding students' extra-study commitments and the potential impacts of these on students' capacity to participate in WIL activities, particularly unpaid placements. Despite these shifts, there has been limited exploration of student experiences of WIL through a wellbeing lens or with an explicit focus on the equity considerations.
Objectives and methodology
Through the voices and experiences of WIL administrators and participants from the disciplines of health and social services, education and nursing this research identified the personal impacts of participation in WIL, beyond the impacts of professional development and in-situ learning. This research explored personal and other factors influencing students' experiences of WIL placements and their coping strategies for managing the reciprocal impacts of participation on other commitments.
Data for this study was collected using an online student survey, student focus groups, and staff focus groups. The survey and focus group data was analysed using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The analyses sought to identify the impact that personal and other factors can have on the practicum experience, the impact of the practicum experience on other parts of the student's life such as paid work commitments and work-study-life conflicts, and the perceived impact of this on their wellbeing.
In connecting WIL and wellbeing, researchers introduced the concept of WIL wellbeing as a construct to identify the impacts of WIL on participants' wellbeing within and beyond the learning context. Explicitly connecting WIL and wellbeing, and foregrounding the everyday life experiences of WIL participants, the research highlighted the contribution of personal coping strategies (many of which are taken into post-graduation professional practice) to managing a successful WIL experience. In the context of the broad scale adoption of WIL as a learning pedagogy, this research also considered how universities and WIL placement workplaces can better support students in preparation for, and during, their WIL experiences.
Key findings and recommendations
- WIL participants experienced considerable levels of financial stress as a result of undertaking a WIL placement due to the intensive unpaid nature of WIL placements; the additional costs incurred as a result of the placement; relational stressors; and the financial impacts of lost wages. Research participants, regardless of their familial or employment circumstances, suggested that additional financial assistance and support was required by many WIL participants to support their participation.
- WIL workplaces need better preparation and support to positively contribute to participant wellbeing and learning outcomes. Both WIL administrator and student participants in this research identified the impact of attitudes and behaviours of supervisors, co-workers and clients within the WIL workplace on student wellbeing. They concluded that better training, support and vetting of potential WIL workplaces and supervisors is required.
- Greater levels of institutional and community support are required to support WIL participant wellbeing. In addition to more supportive supervisory relationships within the WIL workplace, WIL participants are seeking greater levels of pastoral care, staff support and empathy from universities. Combined, peer, family, community and university support make an important contribution to a successful WIL experience, however, available institutional support and eligibility requirements need to be better communicated to students, particularly those that may not have existing support networks
Conclusions and considerations for policy
Examining the equity implications of WIL participation, this research revealed new insights about participant experiences and has the potential to inform WIL policies and practices to support student wellbeing.
Acknowledging the potential impact of extra-curricular commitments, such as paid employment and caring responsibilities, and other personal factors on the WIL experience and providing focused support is important for supporting student wellbeing, and increasing the potential for a successful placement. Both WIL administrator and student participants in this research proposed that universities and registration/accreditation bodies need to consider alternatives to unpaid WIL placements or structural changes to placement requirements which limit extended unpaid placements.
WIL wellbeing is determined by personal coping strategies and institutional and community support. It is therefore imperative that all stakeholders involved in managing, administering and promoting universal WIL participation are cognisant of the potential impacts of WIL on participants' wellbeing.

how to find first record from group in crystal reports?
share|improve this question
You can use the Previous(Group_Field) function in a formula to indicate the start the group. The Online formula function help gives an example. Basically you see if the Previous value of the field you are grouping on is different from the current value. If it is, then you have just started a new group.
If Previous ({table.GroupingField}) = ({table.GroupingField}) Then
 False
Else
 True
share|improve this answer
You can use: NthSmallest (1, {yourField},{theGrouping}) Or NthLargest (1, {yourField},{theGrouping})
Works like a charm
share|improve this answer
When the group header is printed, you're on the first record in the group. Sometimes you can just do the work there.
share|improve this answer
 Previous ({ItemNum}) = ({ItemNum})
This will hide display the first record ItemNum in the group, and hide the rest until the next ItemNum that is different.

How do I link an Amazon EMR notebook to a Git repository?
Last updated: 2020-12-30
I want to link an Amazon EMR notebook with a Git repository. How can I do this?
Resolution
Associating Git repositories with Amazon EMR notebooks allows you to save your notebooks in a version-controlled environment. You can associate up to three repositories with a notebook.
To create a new EMR notebook and associate it with an existing Git repository:
1. Create a private subnet in a virtual private cloud (VPC).
2. Create a NAT gateway
3. Update the route table to point to the NAT gateway.
4. Launch an Amazon EMR cluster in the private subnet. In the Software configuration section, be sure that you select a configuration that includes Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, and Apache Livy.
5. While you're waiting for the EMR cluster to reach the WAITING state, add the Git repository. For Git credentials, choose Create a new secret. Be sure that the Username is the alias of the Git account, not the email address. For more information, see Working with aliases.
6. Create a security group with the following two outbound rules:
Rule 1
Type: Custom TCP rule
Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 18888
Destination: ElasticMapReduceEditors-Livy
Rule 2
Type: HTTPS
Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 443
Destination: 0.0.0.0/0
This allows the notebook to reach the internet using the cluster. For more information, see Custom EC2 security group for EMR notebooks when associating notebooks with Git repositories.
7. Add an inbound rule to the ElasticMapReduceEditors-Livy security group:
Type: Custom TCP rule
Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 18888
Destination: Enter the name of the security group that you created in the previous step.
8. Modify the service role for EMR notebooks (EMR_Notebooks_DefaultRole) to allow the secretsmanager:GetSecretValue action.
9. Create an EMR notebook with the following security group settings:
In the Security groups section, select Choose security groups.
For Security groups for master instance, choose ElasticMapReduceEditors-Livy.
For Security groups for notebook instance, choose the security group that you created in step 6.
The Git repository status changes to Linked. You can now use the Git repository in the notebook.

A transect is a path along which one counts and records occurrences of the phenomena of study (e.g. plants).
It requires an observer to move along a fixed path and to count occurrences along the path and, at the same time (in some procedures), obtain the distance of the object from the path. This results in an estimate of the area covered and an estimate of the way in which detectability increases from probability 0 (far from the path) towards 1 (near the path). Using the raw count and this probability function, one can arrive at an estimate of the actual density of objects.
The estimation of the abundance of populations (such as terrestrial mammal species) can be achieved using a number of different types of transect methods, such as strip transects, line transects, belt transects, point transects and curved line transects.
New Urbanist town planners use the term transect to refer to the continuum of land uses from an urban core to a rural boundary. General New Urban transect classifications (from highest to lowest density) are: urban core, urban centre, general urban, suburban, rural, and natural.

What Is The Definition Of An Hypothecation Agreement
The investment hypothesis arises when a trader or investor promises guarantees for a margin-to-purchase credit or short securities. In particular, brokers/traders (BDs) offer marginal accounts that allow traders to borrow up to 50% of the value of securities. The margina account agreement contains a mortgage agreement for guarantees. As a general rule, the former and the second holders of pledges draw up an agreement on how to handle this unfortunate event. If you are interested, you can read this real example of hypothesis agreement. Rehypothecation is more common when it comes to stocks, as a broker will use collateral stocks to secure their own trades. In the past, this rate was more frequent, but popularity declined after the 2008 and 2009 recession. In the United Kingdom, there is no limit to the amount of a client's assets that can be rehypothecated[3] unless the client has negotiated an agreement with his broker that includes a limit or prohibition. In the United States, re-mortgage is limited to 140% of a customer's balance. [4] [6] The following language is for a form for a real estate mortgage contract and comes from Law Insider: As a pledge, you intend to transfer the asset to another owner.
If not, your intention is to secure the asset to secure a loan. What is important is that you plan to keep the security on the hypothetical asset after you have repaid the loan. "We believe that the assumption agreement signed by Ms. Lauver was sufficient to demonstrate that the bank held a contractual pledge in the account represented by the CD. The hypothesis agreement makes it clear that it is intended to guarantee Mr Cummins' debt to the bank, and the specific security is described. We are not informed that Ms. Lauver was incompetent, deceived or involved under inappropriate influence when the hypothesis agreement was signed. We believe that her intention is under-interpreted by the mortgage agreement, in which she clearly granted the bank a contractual guarantee over the proceeds of her bank account at the Federal Capitol.
The right to pledge that it created is certainly valid and before any interest that its executor may have acquired on the proceeds of the bank account. A hypothesis agreement may stipulate that a tenant cannot submit his interest to a rental agreement or premises without the landlord's consent. The following example shows this type of hypothesis agreement. In 2007, re-mortgages accounted for half of the activities of the shadow banking system. Because security is not cash, it is not displayed in traditional accounting. Before Lehman's collapse, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) calculated that U.S. banks received more than $4 trillion through the re-library, much of which comes from the United Kingdom, where there are no legal limits on the reuse of a customer's guarantees. It is estimated that only a trillion dollars of initial security have been used, meaning that security has been re-hepthetized several times with an estimated emigration factor of 4. [5] Hypothecation Letter is another name for a mortgage agreement.


Bar Code Scanning in ColorDesigner Plus
ColorDesigner PLUS can use bar codes in the following ways:
 1. Send UPC/EAN code of the paint base to dispenser software, to be scanned there.
 2. Scan UPC/EAN code of the paint base in ColorDesigner PLUS before dispensing.
 3. Scan the bar code on a paint chip to look up the color (instead of typing the color name or color number).
UPC/EAN code handling verifies that the operator has the correct paint base and can size, so it eliminates one cause of mistints. To support UPC/EAN code handling (either of the first two features), the paint line database (Electronic Formula Book or Color Matching Database) must contain the UPC/EAN code for each base-can size combination.

Selection Criteria of Liquid-filled Gauges:
In this article, you are going to read about some of the terms related to liquid pressure gauges. These are the pressure gauges which are used with the help of some liquid in them. Let's see all the things in detail.
What are liquid-filled pressure gauges?
The liquid-filled pressure gauge is the tool which can measure the gas or liquid in the system. It is a gauge that works with the liquid or glycerine by putting it into it. Such glycerine improves some of the unrealistic conditions. The pressure gauges are used for various purposes. Such gauges provide a stable rate of pressure in the system with the help of a needle. It is very easy to read the readings of a pressure gauge. One can easily install, and operate the pressure gauges. You can refer to liquid-filled pressure gauge suppliers for the best pressure gauges.
How can one select the liquid-filled pressure gauge?
One has to look at various things while buying the pressure gauges. And while selecting the liquid-filled pressure gauge, it is beneficial if one can look at the criteria of selecting the pressure gauge. Below are some of the points to select the pressure gauge:
 - Cost:
There are many advantages of liquid-filled pressure gauges over dry pressure gauges. This reflects that they are the pressure gauges that are high in cost. You can use the liquid-filled pressure gauge over the area which requires vibrations and pulsations. Because they give accurate results even in the pulsations and vibrations.
 - Liquid filling:
There are many circumstances for which the liquid-filled pressure gauge is considered. So before buying the pressure gauge you must look at the type of liquid which you need. The liquid glycerin is used for vibration protection. Whereas silicone oil is beneficial for the high-temperature.

What If We Thought Of Gender Like Ice Cream? It Makes Sense, Here's Why
Gender identity is a deeply personal issue that many people still have trouble understanding and respecting.
Unlearning restrictive binary genders is a process, but one that is well worth the effort.
This comic highlights the importance of looking past restrictive ideas of gender and embracing the idea that every identity is 'real' and deserves to be respected. After all, each person knows themselves best.

La communication dans l'œuvre romanesque de Jacques Savoie
MetadataShow full item record
This paper explores the nature of communication in Jacques Savoie's novels. Many of the characters experience difficulties in making themselves understood by others, especially by their loved ones. Some of these challenges are psychological while others are related to the relationship between the characters. This study examines the both the factors that obstruct communication as well as those that foster it. Of particular interest are the related issues of language and its interpretation. While the state of mutual understanding is often attained through dialogue, the much more elusive state of communion is reached through art, specifically through music and poetry. Several of Savoie's novels are testament to the power of art to communicate not only the nature of the world but its beauty.


Solving Equations with Julia-Defined Types
One of the nice things about DifferentialEquations.jl is that it is designed with Julia's type system in mind. What this means is, if you have properly defined a Number type, you can use this number type in DifferentialEquations.jl's algorithms! [Note that this is restricted to the native algorithms of OrdinaryDiffEq.jl. The other solvers such as ODE.jl, Sundials.jl, and ODEInterface.jl are not compatible with some number systems.]
DifferentialEquations.jl determines the numbers to use in its solvers via the types that are designated by Δt and the initial condition of the problem. It will keep the time values in the same type as Δt, and the solution values in the same type as the initial condition. [Note that adaptive timestepping requires that Δt be compaible with sqrt and ^ functions. Thus Δt cannot be Integer or numbers like that if adaptive timestepping is chosen].
Let's solve the linear ODE first define an easy way to get ODEProblems for the linear ODE:
In [1]:
using DifferentialEquations
f = (t,u) -> (1.01*u)
prob_ode_linear = ODEProblem(f,1/2,(0.0,1.0));
First let's solve it using Float64s. To do so, we just need to set u₀ to a Float64 (which is done by the default) and dt should be a float as well.
In [2]:
prob = prob_ode_linear
sol =solve(prob,RK4(),dt=1/2^(6))
println(sol)
Retcode: Success
Interpolation: 3rd order Hermite
t: 65-element Array{Float64,1}
 0.0 0.015625 0.03125 0.046875 … 0.953125 0.96875 0.984375 1.0

Notice that both the times and the solutions were saved as Float64. Let's change the time to use rational values:
In [4]:
prob = ODEProblem(f,1/2,(0//1,1//1));
sol = solve(prob,RK4(),dt=1//2^(6))
println(sol)
Retcode: Success
Interpolation: 3rd order Hermite
t: 65-element Array{Rational{Int64},1}
 0//1 1//64 1//32 3//64 1//16 5//64 … 61//64 31//32 63//64 1//1

Now let's do something fun. Let's change the solution to use Rational{BigInt} and print out the value at the end of the simulation. To do so, simply change the definition of the initial condition.
In [5]:
const rationalα = 101//100
f = (t,u) -> (rationalα*u)
prob = ODEProblem(f,BigInt(1)//BigInt(2),(0//1,1//1));
sol =solve(prob,RK4(),dt=1//2^(6))
println(sol[end])

That's one huge fraction!
Other Compatible Number Types
ArbFloats
Let's test a bunch of other number types. First I'm going to test Jeffrey Sarnoff's ArbFloats. These high precision numbers which are much faster than Bigs for less than 500-800 bits of accuracy. Having already installed Nemo and ArbFloats, I can use them in DifferentialEquations.jl via:
In [6]:
using ArbFloats
const arbalpha = ArbFloat(1.01)
f = (t,u) -> (arbalpha*u)
prob_ode_arbfloatlinear = ODEProblem(f,ArbFloat(1)/ArbFloat(2),(0//1,1//1))
sol =solve(prob_ode_arbfloatlinear,RK4(),dt=1//2^(6))
println(sol[end])
2.00341833848949843198821e-166..
WARNING: Method definition string(ArbFloats.ArbFloat{P}) in module ArbFloats at /home/crackauc/.julia/v0.6/ArbFloats/src/basics/string.jl:69 overwritten at /home/crackauc/.julia/v0.6/ArbFloats/src/basics/string.jl:220.
Bingo! ArbFloats work with DifferentialEquations.jl.
DecFP.jl
Next let's try DecFP. DecFP is a fixed-precision decimals library which is made to give both performance but known decimals of accuracy. Having already installed DecFP with Pkg.add("DecFP"), I can run the following:
In [4]:
using DecFP
const decalpha = Dec128(1.01) # Set the constant to a Dec128 as well
f = (t,u) -> (decalpha*u)
prob_ode_decfplinear = ODEProblem(f,Dec128(1)/Dec128(2),(0.0,1.0))
sol =solve(prob_ode_decfplinear,RK4(),dt=1//2^(6))
println(sol[end]); println(typeof(sol[end]))
+1372800506801159568896177661311276E-33
DecFP.Dec128
Bingo! DecFP works with DifferentialEquations.jl
Incompatible Number Systems
Decimals.jl
Install with Pkg.add("Decimals").
In [6]:
using Decimals
const decalpha2 = decimal(1.01) # Set the constant to a Dec128 as well
f = (t,u) -> (decalpha2*u)
prob_ode_decimallinear = ODEProblem(f,[decimal("1.0")]./[decimal("2.0")],(0//1,1//1))
sol =solve(prob_ode_decimallinear,RK4(),dt=1/2^(6)) #Fails

What is the best way to preserve pears?
If properly sealed, pear preserves can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to one year. A simple storage option for pear jam, butter, and chutney. Storing halved or whole preserved pears in the freezer is not recommended due to their fragile texture. Preserves can be stored in the freezer for up to six months.
Do you need to peel pears for jam?
The fine quality and great taste of USA Pears will shine through in every batch of this delightful homemade jam! If preferred, peel pears. Cut pears lengthwise into quarters and remove cores and stem ends. Chop pears into chunks, bigger for chunky jam, smaller for a smooth batch.
What to do with lots of fresh pears?
A pear bumper harvest doesn't have to be overwhelming. These simple preservation techniques will allow you to enjoy these fruits this season and throughout the year.
- Canned Pears.
- Pear Juice.
- Frozen Pears.
- Pear Pie.
- Pear Butter.
- Pickled Pears.
- Refrigerate Pears.
- Pear Salads.
