High resolution photoelectron spectra of xenon clusters of about 100 atoms, measured with photon energies of 20 to 60 eV are reported. Peaks due to the clusters are observed at lower binding energies than the corresponding atomic lines and exhibit different behaviors. The peak associated with the Xe 5p1/2 state at higher binding energy is relatively unchanged with photon energy whereas the Xe 5p3/2 peak changes its shape with increasing photon energy. The change is attributed to differences in the escape depth of the electrons at different kinetic energies and the bulk and surface components of the cluster.

Q.13 You must have seen tarnished copper vessels being cleaned with lemon or tamarind juice. Explain why these sour substances are effective in cleaning the vessels
Copper reacts with moist carbon dioxide in air to form copper carbonate and as a result, copper vessel loses its shiny brown surface forming a green layer of copper carbonate. The citric acid present in the lemon or tamarind neutralises the basis copper carbonate and dissolves the layer. That is why, tarnished copper vessels are cleaned with lemon or tamarind juice to give the surface of the copper vessel its characteristic lustre.

Rectal and brain temperatures in ethanol intoxicated mice

Abstract
The present study tested the assumption that deep rectal temperature reflects brain temperature in ethanol-intoxicated mice exposed to a range of ambient temperatures. Adult C57BL/6J mice were injected IP with one of three hypnotic doses of ethanol (3.2, 3.6, or 4.0 g/kg, 20% w/v) or with normal saline and were exposed to ambient temperatures of 15, 22, 32, or 34° C. Thirty minutes post-injection, the mice were killed by cervical dislocation, decapitated and their rectal and brain temperatures were recorded simultaneously. Rectal and brain temperatures in the intoxicated mice increased significantly as the ambient temperature increased and were highly correlated and linearly related with each other. Although correlated, brain and rectal temperatures in these mice did not change in parallel, with brain temperatures increasing less rapidly than rectal temperatures. Additional studies indicated that similar relationships (correlated, but non-parallel) exist between the brain and rectal temperatures at 60, 120, and 180 min after injection of 3.6 g/kg ethanol. These findings suggest that rectal temperature can be used to quantify brain temperature in intoxicated mice, and extend to intoxicated animals evidence that brain temperature is controlled independently from rectal temperature.

Average Inheritance: How Much Are Retirees Leaving to Heirs?
Average Inheritance in the United States
Different studies suggest different levels of average inheritance.
- According to a 2015 HSBC survey, American retirees expect to leave an average inheritance of almost $177,000 to their heirs.
- The Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), reported that median inheritance was $69,000 (the average was $707,291). For trust funds, that median wealth transfer was way, way higher — $285,000 (and the average was $4,062,918).
- In a new study by United Income, CEO Matt Fellowes looked at how retirees feel and how their spending levels change during retirement and found that:
- The average retired adult who dies in their 60s leaves behind $296K in net wealth
- $313K in their 70s
- $315K in their 80s
- $283K in their 90s
- In the NewRetirement retirement planner, you can set a goal for leaving behind an inheritance. For users who have opted to set a goal above $0 in this detailed tool, the range is wide. The average estate goal is $942,000. The median goal is $500,000. However, many people have just $5,000 as their goal for a financial legacy.
NOTE: It is important to note that while the NewRetirement retirement planner is designed to be easy to use by all types of people, users of the tool tend to be wealthier than average – skewing the average inheritance numbers high.
Don't Feel at All Bad if You Are Leaving Behind Less Than Average
While it appears that the "average" inheritance is between $100,000 and more than $1 million, these numbers can be incredibly misleading.
Because the very rich have so much more money than the middle and lower classes, the average inheritance numbers are incredibly lopsided.
When you break down average inheritance by the economic status of the household, the numbers look very different. According to analysis by Demos:
- The least wealthy group of families have received, on average, $6,100 in inheritance.
- The wealthiest 1 percent of families have received, on average, $2.7 million in inheritance.
A further breakdown of these numbers reveals that: "the wealthiest 1 percent of families have inherited $447 for every $1 the least wealthy group of families has. Those in the middling wealth ranges—$25k–$50k, $50k–$100k, and $100k–$250k—have received inheritances of $14.8k, $22.5k, and $51.4k respectively."
So, the wealthiest in the United States are able to leave behind very large inheritances and this skews the average numbers to be nowhere near average for the majority of retirees.
Leaving an Inheritance vs. Sharing While You Are Still Alive
Besides the vast differences between the very wealthy and the rest of us, there are other reasons why you might not be leaving behind a large inheritance.
Many households share their wealth with younger generations while they are still alive. Parents and grandparents pay for their offspring's education, joint vacations, and even living expenses. Many households also help family members buy houses or cars and pay off debt.
Between 2005 and 2014, the fraction of young adults age 18 to 31 who lived with their parents rose 15%, according to a study by Federal Reserve Board economists. Not only is this rate of change unprecedented, but the percentage of young adults residing with parents has reached a historic high of 36%.
Furthermore, you may also be using your potential estate to fund care for your own parents.
6 Tips for Inheritance and Your Retirement
1. Money is Not Everything
If you cannot afford to leave behind financial wealth (and even if you can), remember that inheritances can come in many different guises – your culture, values, sense of humor, and more.
Sharing your time and interests with your heirs is a meaningful inheritance.
2. Be Realistic and Understand Your Own Finances
In all aspects of life, there is what we want to do and there is what we can do. Leaving behind an inheritance or helping other family members while you are still alive is no exception – make sure you understand what is feasible.
It is very important that you are realistic about what you can afford. Creating and maintaining a detailed retirement plan can help you assess what is possible.
After you set up your account, the NewRetirement retirement planner lets you see exactly what your estate is projected to be. Even better, the system enables you to change any aspect of your plan and immediately see how it impacts your potential estate – as well as your cash flow, out of money age, and much more.
3. Set Goals
The NewRetirement retirement planner lets you set a goal for leaving an estate. You also have goals for funding retirement through your longevity using both optimistic and pessimistic assumptions.
You can update your progress against your goals at any time. Of the people who have set an estate goal with NewRetirement, 89% are currently on track to achieve their goal for leaving a financial legacy.
4. There is a Lot More to End of Life Planning than Leaving an Estate
You may have scrimped and saved so that you can leave something behind for your heirs. However, there is a lot more you need to do to ensure that your end of life and after life wishes are fulfilled.
There are at least four documents that everyone must have. Learn more in Estate Planning 101.
5. Use Caution if You Plan to Receive an Inheritance
Many retirees are hoping to receive an inheritance to help fund their life in retirement. However, as people live longer and health expenses go higher, more and more people are running through their financial resources – even their home equity.
So, if you are planning on an inheritance to fund your own retirement, you may want to assess whether your expectations are realistic or not.
In the NewRetirement retirement planner you can model what your finances look like with or without an anticipated inheritance. It is easy to see the impact of different lump-sum contributions at different periods of time.
6. Manage Expectations with Heirs
Different families and different cultures have varying expectations for inheritance.
However, most studies suggest that heirs would rather that their parents live a comfortable life in retirement over potentially receiving money upon their death.
No matter what might happen in your situation, it is a good idea to discuss various scenarios with your loved ones.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
I was wondering how one can rescue all of the prediction results when using the Java API for liblinear.
As it is well documented one can rescue the accuracy of the prediction with the following code:
Feature[] instance = new FeatureNode[5];
double prediction = Linear.predict(model, instance);
But how can we rescue the rest of the results kept in a file that is given to us when running for example:
./predict -b 1 testfile.test modelfile.model resultfile.out
Hope you can help, for the moment I am rescuing the data from the file but is most inefficient having to go to disk to get it. Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Daniel Marín Subiabre

If I understand you correctly, you're trying to get the probability results in runtime. Well, what i'm using is the following code:
double[] probabilityResults = new double[];
double prediction = Linear.predictProbability(model, instanceToTest, probabilityResults);
in the probabilityResults array, you'll find the probabilities of prediction. Good luck!

Samsung second-generation eye mouse significantly enhances ease-of-use for people with disabilities
Samsung Electronics today introduced its second-generation eye mouse that allows people with disabilities to compose and edit documents as well as browse the web through simple eye movement. EYECAN+ is the first of its kind, as it does not require users to wear any device, such as glasses. Instead, EYECAN+ is a single-unit, portable box that sits below the monitor, and works by wirelessly calibrating with the user's eye. EYECAN+ requires the user to be situated between 60cm and 70cm from the monitor, and does not require the user to be in any specific position, as it can be used while seated or lying down.
Calibration is only required for first-time users, as EYECAN+ will remember each user's eye characteristics. Users can also adjust the sensitivity of EYECAN+ for both calibration and actual use. Once calibrated, the EYECAN+ user interface (UI) will appear as a pop-up menu in one of two different modes, rectangular menu board or floating menu wheel, both of which contain 18 different commands. Both menu types can be configured to remain at the fore of the screen. The use of all 18 commands solely requires eye movement and blinking, and each command can be selected by looking directly at the relevant icon and blinking once.
The 18 commands include "copy," "paste" and "select all," as well as "drag and drop," "scroll" and "zoom in." Additional custom commands can also be created to include existing keystroke commands, such as "close program" ("Alt+F4") and "print" ("Ctrl+P"). While Samsung will not commercialize EYECAN+, the company will manufacture a limited quantity to donate to charity organizations. Both the technology and design of EYECAN+ will soon be made open source, and made accessible to companies and organizations that wish to commercialize the eye mouse.

Splitting Flightlines
Some PIs will request that processed flight lines are split in to smaller lines, especially if the files generated are of a large size.
Fenix Splitting
It is recommended that you do this after you have found the correct SCT offset values and are ready to generate the final files, as the splitting is done by aplcal when you submit the jobs to the grid. The splitting of the flight lines can be done by following this process:
 1. Find out the number of smaller segments the PI wants the flight lines split in to. This could be in the ticket or in emails. Ask someone if unsure.
 2. If it is not already there, append cal_args_extra = -lines to each flight line section of the config file. This tells aplcal which raw lines to process for this particular flight line section, using the -lines argument of aplcal.
 1. Note: If there is a global cal_args_exrtra = record in the config file (i.e. in the [DEFAULT] section, at the top of the file), this will be overridden by ones local to flight lines. Therefore, you will need to copy the arguments from the global section in to each flight line section to overcome this.
 3. Copy and paste each flight line section in the hyperspectral processing file <number of segments required> -1 times below the original flight line section so that the number of sections for each line is equal to the number of segments required by the PI.
 4. Divide the number of lines in each raw header file (the lines record in the raw header files (found in .../<root project directory>/hyperspectral/fenix) by the number of segments required and round it up/down to something sensible.
 5. After the cal_args_extra = -lines, put in the numbers of the raw flight lines to process.
 1. For the first one, this will be 1 (the first flight line) and the number you obtained in the previous step.
 2. If no overlap is required, the next section should be double the result, and so on. If an overlap is required, the first number used in the latter of the two should be <overlap in metres> less than the second number used in the section before it.
 6. Change the header of each flight line section so that the numbers in the section headers are sequential, and change the line_id and line_number fields to match this.
 7. Change the raw_filebase in each flight line section so that they point to the raw files. Do this by changing what's already there to raw_filebase = %(fenix_filebase)s-<original line number>. You can find this out by doing <new flight line number> / <number of sections required by PI>, and rounding it up.
Below is part of an example config file that was used for splitting hyperspectral data. In this example, each flight line was split in to three segments and used an overlap of 500m.

Splitting LiDAR point clouds
Discrete LiDAR
In the case of purely discrete point clouds we can use lasmerge to produce equal divided files.
A script exists to do this automatically:
split_las.py (-d INPUTDIR | -i INPUTFILE | -l INPUTLIST... ) -o OUTPUTDIR (--time time | --speed SPEED --distance DISTANCE )
This can be run on either a single file, a space separated list or a directory of las files. You can specify the number of seconds for overlap using --time (default is 1s aka 65ish metres), you can also specify the overlap in metres if you specify the plane speed too. If you dont want overlap use --time 0. This script will split full waveform and discrete LAS files.
lassplit Is a C++ program which will split LAS files based on a GPS time range.
lassplit -l las_input_file -o las_output_file -s gps_start_time -e gps_end_time
Full Waveform
Left this in as it is still useful.
It is worthwhile using the script above to divide a discrete line then using the x/y coordinates from each section for your division. This will give you a consistent split across the waveform data. If you have variable pitch/roll you will likely have to process each line seperately.
To give a fence in alspp go to filters > points on the ground. In the dialogue that displays click "selected projection (x,y,z)" then enter the min/max of your x/y coordinates for a square.
Alspp will not run on waveform data simultaneously with another alspp instance.
Seemingly at random some lines will not process with the fence options that every other line in the dataset will run under. This will result in an output of 22.6 k las files, you will need to change the fence size or in some cases create an entirely new alspp reg file to overcome this bug.
Once waveform data is completed you should test a couple from each segment in lashistoviewer or a similar waveform visualiser to check they are valid.

Supported by the Graduate School of Peking University, the PKU-Harvard International Symposium on Evolutionary Dynamics was held in the South Conference Room of the Main Library on October 12.
The symposium was organized by Professor Long Wang of the PKU College of Engineering and emceed by Feng Fu, a Ph.D. candidate from the College of Engineering.
At the beginning of the symposium, Professor Shaoqiang Tang, vice dean of COE, gave a brief introduction about the college. Five world famous experts on evolutionary dynamics from Harvard University, Tibor Antal, David G. Rand, Thomas Pfeiffer, Daniel I. Rosenbloom, and Michael Manapat, attended the symposium, and Professor Tianguang Chu was also present.
The five experts gave special lectures on hot topics in this field, including the application of evolutionary dynamics in cancer, punishment, metabolic systems, evolutionary origins and vaccination. Their lectures attracted nearly 50 teachers and students from PKU, Tsinghua University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Faculty and students alike exchanged ideas and had deep discussions with the experts following their lectures.
The symposium sought to enhance the exchange and understanding between PKU and other world top research institutes in the field of evolutionary dynamics. Its organizers believed that this symposium can improve the research level of Ph.D. candidates in this field, and it can also promote the cooperation between PKU and other world renowned universities.

How do I write not in PostgreSQL?
The syntax for using NOT IN operator to return the matching values(except for the specified values) in contrast with the SELECT statement is as below: Syntax: value NOT IN (SELECT value FROM tbl_name);
Is not condition in PostgreSQL?
The PostgreSQL NOT condition (also called the NOT Operator) is used to negate a condition in a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement.
What is <> in Postgres?
<> is the standard SQL operator meaning "not equal". Many databases, including postgresql, supports != as a synonym for <> . They're exactly the same in postgresql.
How do you write not equal to in PostgreSQL?
Do not write expression = NULL because NULL is not "equal to" NULL….9.2. Comparison Operators.
Operator Description
<= less than or equal to
>= greater than or equal to
= equal
<> or != not equal
IS NOT NULL in Postgres?
Here is an example of how to use the PostgreSQL IS NOT NULL condition in a SELECT statement: SELECT * FROM employees WHERE first_name IS NOT NULL; This PostgreSQL IS NOT NULL example will return all records from the employees table where the first_name does not contain a null value.
Can I use with clause in PostgreSQL?
WITH provides a way to write auxiliary statements for use in a larger query. Each auxiliary statement in a WITH clause can be a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE; and the WITH clause itself is attached to a primary statement that can also be a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. …
Is not true in PostgreSQL?
In standard SQL, a Boolean value can be TRUE , FALSE , or NULL . However, PostgreSQL is quite flexible when dealing with TRUE and FALSE values. The following table shows the valid literal values for TRUE and FALSE in PostgreSQL….Introduction to the PostgreSQL Boolean type.
True False
'y' 'n'
'yes' 'no'
'1' '0'
Is not distinct from?
Compares whether two expressions are equal (or not equal). The function is NULL-safe, meaning it treats NULLs as known values for comparing equality. Note that this is different from the EQUAL comparison operator ( = ), which treats NULLs as unknown values.
What is double colon in SQL?
In MS SQL Server 2000: For built-in user-defined functions that return a table, the function name must be specified with a leading double colon (::) to distinguish it from user-defined functions that are not built-in. It also must be specified as a one-part name with no database or owner qualifications.
Is NULL or empty Postgres?
Oracle reads empty strings as NULLs, while PostgreSQL treats them as empty. Concatenating NULL values with non-NULL characters results in that character in Oracle, but NULL in PostgreSQL. Oracle and PostgreSQL behave similarly in many cases, but one way they differ is in their treatment of NULLs and empty strings.
Can we use two with clause in SQL?
To have multiple WITH clauses, you do not need to specify WITH multiple times. Rather, after the first WITH clause is completed, add a comma, then you can specify the next clause by starting with followed by AS. There is no comma between the final WITH clause and the main SQL query.
Can we use CTE in PostgreSQL?
In PostgreSQL, the CTE(Common Table Expression) is used as a temporary result set that the user can reference within another SQL statement like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE. CTEs are temporary in the sense that they only exist during the execution of the query.
What is PostgreSQL in and not in?
PostgreSQL IN, Not IN with Examples What is PostgreSQL In? The IN operator is used in a WHERE clause that allows checking whether a value is present in a list of other values. In Operation helps to reduce the need for multiple OR conditions in SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE statements.
What is the difference between in and = operators in PostgreSQL?
It is equivalent to the query above: The query that uses the IN operator is shorter and more readable than the query that uses equal ( =) and OR operators. In addition, PostgreSQL executes the query with the IN operator much faster than the same query that uses a list of OR operators.
How do I use in in PostgreSQL?
PostgreSQL IN operator syntax. You use the IN operator in the WHERE clause to check if a value matches any value in a list of values. The syntax of the IN operator is as follows: value IN (value1,value2,…) The expression returns true if the value matches any value in the list i.e., value1 and value2.
How do I negate a condition in PostgreSQL?
The PostgreSQL NOT condition (also called the NOT Operator) is used to negate a condition in a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement. The condition to negate.

The web page that I wanted to test using Selenium consisted of multiple tinymce editors used for various rich textareas. Internet Explorer 8 was the target browser. Obviously simply using the type command with input text did not work. So googled on how other people achieved this, found following two solutions:
1. Select frame and then type text
2. Identify the text area using DOM locator
selectFrame id_of_tinymce_iframe focus tinymce type tinymce Text_text selectFrame relative=parent
type dom=document.getElementById('id_of_tinymce_iframe').contentWindow.document.body Test_text
Both of them seem to work on Firefox where I develop my test using Selenium IDE. But on IE 8 I would not see the "Test_text" in the TinyMCE textarea even though the steps would run fine. The way I ended up achieving this was by using the following:
Yes and this did work on IE 8.
focus dom=document.getElementById('id_of_tinymce_iframe').contentWindow.document.body getEval selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().document.getElementById('id_of_tinymce_iframe').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = 'Test_text';

Research on shipboard aircraft model and simulation of ship landing environment Abstract
Aircraft carrier / carrier aircraft system is an important force of modern military, a necessary weapon of modern navy, and also a symbol of national comprehensive national strength. Therefore, the pace of research on aircraft carrier / carrier aircraft system in various countries has never stopped. Aircraft carriers and shipborne aircraft complement each other, and only when they are combined can they exert their strongest strength. Aircraft carriers are a platform for naval aircraft to take off and land at sea, and a large surface warship with shipborne aircraft as its main combat weapon. The ship body of an aircraft carrier has an oversized deck for the take-off and landing of a shipborne aircraft, and its movement is also a key factor affecting the safety and accurate landing of a shipborne aircraft.
Shipboard aircraft and land-based aircraft, its use environment is relatively bad. Safety and accurate landing has become an important issue in the use of shipboard aircraft. The movement of aircraft carrier at sea, the environment of sea and turbulence disturbance all affect the safety of landing ship. The limited length and width of the deck of aircraft carrier also make the landing difficulty of carrier aircraft much more difficult than that of land-based aircraft. In this paper, first of all, by using the basic knowledge of dynamics and other disciplines, the constraint relations among the variables of shipborne aircraft in the coordinate system are obtained, the longitudinal motion equation model of shipborne aircraft is established, and the small disturbance equation of shipborne aircraft landing is given. The natural state of the shipborne aircraft is also discussed. In the Matlab / Simulink environment, the transfer function of the throttle and elevator input corresponding to each output of the aircraft and its simulation are obtained under the environment of Matlab / Simulink.
This paper also studies the influence of carrier movement on the landing of carrier aircraft, defines the degree of freedom of aircraft carrier and analyzes the influence of each degree of freedom according to the characteristics of aircraft carrier motion at sea. The influence of pitching and swinging motion on the landing of shipborne aircraft was studied. The stationary stochastic process was modeled by using the power spectrum model of the aircraft carrier, and the simulation of the aircraft carrier movement was carried out, and the characteristics and causes of the ship tail current were analyzed. The engineering method is used to simulate and analyze the wake of aircraft carrier. The simulation results show that the magnitude of the periodic component of the ship tail current induced by the aircraft carrier motion is larger, especially the closer to the final phase of the ship landing, the periodic component of the ship tail current to the shipborne flight. The greater the impact of aircraft landing.

UW scientists have provided fresh insight into an issue that has vexed civilization since the beginning: how to keep a drink cold on a hot day. It turns out that condensation on the outside of a canned beverage can provide more heat than the surrounding air, meaning your drink would warm more than twice as much in humid weather as in dry heat.
"Probably the most important thing a beer koozie does is not simply insulate the can, but keep condensation from forming on the outside of it," explains Dale Durran, UW professor of atmospheric sciences. Durran is co-author of results published in Physics Today that give the exact warming for a range of plausible summer temperatures and humidity levels. For example, on the hottest, most humid day in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, condensation alone would warm a can from near-freezing temperature to 48 degrees Fahrenheit in just five minutes.
The phenomenon at work—latent heat of condensation—has implications beyond keeping you refreshed on a summer day. The concept is central to research on water vapor, heat transfer and global climate change being conducted by co-author Dargan Frierson, UW associate professor of atmospheric sciences. "We expect a much moister atmosphere with global warming because warmer air can hold a lot more water vapor," Frierson reports.

A decision support system for procurement risk management in the presence of spot market.
Lee, C. K. M.
Date of Issue2012
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
In the presence of spot market, this paper presents a decision support system to model risks for procurement processes and to design a robust purchasing plan, including supplier selection and order allocation. Taking advantages of contract supplier and spot market, the buyer can better meet business requirements in this dynamic business environment. However, there are limitations of existing methods for modeling multiple correlated risks to support decision makers for allocating orders among multiple suppliers in the presence of spot market. Therefore, Monte Carlo simulation algorithm termed as Expected Profit–Supply at Risk (A-EPSaR) is proposed to quantify each supplier's risk so as to let decision maker realize the trade-off between profit and risk. The goal programming model helps to allocate orders among the supplier pool and the contract-spot allocation model can assign orders between the spot market and the supplier pool, respectively. The significance of this paper is to propose a novel decision support framework which helps the buyer to make optimal and robust procurement decision including supplier selection and order allocation among multiple supplier sources in the existence of correlated demand, yield and spot price uncertainties. A case study is used to illustrate the performance of the proposed framework and the proposed methods show the promising result.

The compensation order
When a defendant is convicted of an offence, the Magistrates' Court can make a compensation order when passing sentence. A compensation order is intended to make the defendant compensate the victim of the crime. Subject to the below, the court must make a compensation order wherever possible – even where the victim can claim compensation in the civil courts.
A compensation order can either be a sentence in its own right, or more commonly, ancillary to the sentence imposed. Compensation can be ordered if the defendant is sent to prison – but only if the defendant has the means to pay immediately. If the magistrates decide that no compensation is payable, they must state their reasons in open court.
What does compensation cover?
The court must consider making a compensation order where the offence resulted in personal injury, loss or damage. Personal injury includes psychological injury. In relation to property stolen, if the property is recovered but in a damaged condition, compensation can still be ordered regardless of whether or not the defendant was responsible for the damage. All that matters is that the damage was caused whilst the property was out of the owner's control as a result of the theft.
What is excluded?
Compensation is not generally payable to the dependents of a victim who has died, except for funeral expenses.
Compensation will not be ordered where the injury, loss or damage resulted from a road traffic accident unless there is a conviction under the Theft Act 1968; or the offender is uninsured and the Motor Insurers' Bureau (MIB) will not cover the loss. The MIB is funded by all UK insurance holders and compensates victims of uninsured drivers. Personal injury and damage are covered (except for the first £300 of a claim for damage).
Fixing the amount of compensation
It is for the prosecution to establish the value of loss and to produce up-to-date and detailed evidence in support. The offender may also make representations.
The prosecution's evidence will often be in the form of a victim statement setting out, for instance, the price of the stolen or damages items (with a receipt), or detailing the nature and extent of any personal injuries sustained. The magistrates will follow formal guidelines to ascertain the appropriate amount of compensation to award for personal injuries – subject to a maximum of £5000 per charge.
However, the magistrates must balance the requirement to order compensation against the defendant's ability to pay. Payments by instalments are common and magistrates' guidance suggests that the amount ordered should be paid between a period of 13 and 52 weeks.
Varying a compensation order
The defendant can appeal a compensation order within 21 days. During this time, the order is enforceable and the defendant must make payments. However, if the appeal is successful any payments made by the defendant will be refunded.
The Magistrates' Court can discharge or reduce the order in certain circumstances:
- where a lesser amount has been awarded by a civil court;
- where the defendant has a subsequent reduction in their finances which is likely to continue for some time so that they are unable to pay either the whole or part of the compensation;
- where the property stolen is partly or fully recovered, and;
- where a confiscation order has been made in the same set of proceedings and the defendant's means are insufficient to comply with both orders.
Compensation and deprivation orders
The court can make a deprivation order in some cases, unless it will cause undue hardship to the offender. If it is satisfied that the defendant was in possession of, or in control of, property used or intended for the purposes of committing or facilitating the commission of any offence, then the court can deprive the defendant of this property.
For example, if the defendant used a car to commit a series of shoplifting offences then the court could make a deprivation order, and the proceeds of sale of the car can then be used to compensate the shop owners.
Compensation and confiscation orders
The Magistrates' Court cannot currently make confiscation orders except in very limited circumstances. The prosecution must therefore apply to the Crown Court for the offender to be committed to the Crown Court for confiscation to be considered under the Proceeds of Crime Act.


brownish/red spot on a dwarf albera spruce
Hi, I live in Michigan and after the snow melted our Dwarf Alberta Spruce had a brownish/red spot on the front of it. What is this caused from? There is new growth starting but I would like know what, if anything I can do differently in the future to protect it. Thank you!!
Submitted by BHGPhotoContest
This sounds like winter burn on your Dwarf Alberta spruce. I suspect that it's on the south or southwest side of the tree. During winter when the ground is frozen, the tree can't readily pull moisture out of the ground. Yet, on warm days it is transpiring and losing water. So essentially the plant is under mid-winter drought stress. It helps to make certain the soil is saturated going into winter. And if the tree is exposed, you may need to put up a temporary shade barrier of burlap or similar material to keep the browning from recurring.

When processing orders you might come across the "Ship to country must be 2-character country ISO 3116 code" error.
This error is shown when the Country Code used in the order is missing or does not have a correct format.
Feel free to follow the step-by-step guide written below or the video guide, as you prefer:
To do so:
1. Find the order through any of the possible ways (after Import Orders, Batches, Order History, etc) as it applies to the case
2. Click the edit button of the order you wish to change
3. Change the Country Code accordingly
4. Press Save to apply the changes
If the rest of the information in the order is correct, you will be able to process it.


Defend or Rescue are map objectives used throughout the Fire Emblem series
Overview[edit | edit source]
Defend and Rescue are similar in nature as both require the player to complete a map by preventing an enemy unit from reaching a certain tile.
In Defend maps, players must prevent the enemy from reaching a specific tile on the map, usually one that is positioned behind the player's starting position or at a far side Village. If an enemy unit ends their turn on that tile or next to the village, a Game Over immediately triggers. To clear the map, players must either Survive a certain number of turns before the enemy is force to retreat or must rout all enemies that appear.
Rescue requires that the player kill specific units on a map before they reach a certain tile which is usually a distance away from both the enemy and allies. Maps that feature this objective usually revolve around an character being kidnapped. If the objective is solely Rescue, only the highlighted unit must be defeated. Occasionally, this is paired with Rout the Enemy as well.

Today, as atrocities are committed across the globe, from widescale slavery in Africa to the decimation of the Syrian people to the persecution of the Uighers in Asia, the desire and need for justice is greater than ever. In this talk, Dr. Keydar explains her vision for how digital humanities can help us bring justice for the victims of mass atrocities.
Dr. Renana Keydar was driven to explore new paradigms of justice in our digital world after serving as the legal advisor in the High Court of Justice Department of the State Attorney's Office and seeing the limits of the law, and also partly from having three grandparents who were Holocaust survivors.
She takes us on a journey through several cases where atrocities were prosecuted, and how using digital tools can empower a new understanding of the victims' experiences and the outcomes of trials.

Signs of a wolverine
The wolverine moves in a unique manner, which leaves behind tracks that stand out because of their orientation and large size.

Wolverine tracks
The wolverine moves in a unique manner, which leaves behind tracks that stand out because of their shape and large size. The wolverine moves either by jumping, which creates paired tracks, or by galloping, which leaves a slanted line where the impressions appear in threes. The wolverine's paw print features five toes, unlike lynx and wolf tracks in which only four toes can be seen. The wolverine's paw print is triangular and tapers towards the heel. The impressions left by the toes are clearly visible as they curve on the front of the paw's central pad in a sort of semi-circle.
The wolverine's foreleg is larger than its hindleg. Including the heel, the paw print of the foreleg is 12–16 cm long. The wolverine's hindleg leaves a print that is 8–10 cm long. The wolverine is a partial plantigrade, which is why the carpal pads of its forelegs leave a distinct impression in the snow if it isn't too deep and it isn't light frost snow. In these kinds of snow conditions the rear parts of the carpal pads are usually not distinctly visible and the paw print is little more than an outline of the paw.
The wolverine has large legs relative to its size and weight that allow it to move quickly and with little effort even in deep, sinking snow. You rarely see a wolverine wade in the snow as our other large carnivores are sometimes forced to do when the snow is particularly deep and soft. In these kinds of conditions the wolverine will walk, which it never really does otherwise. The wolverine's walking tracks are large and its steps are a lot shorter than those of lynxes or wolves. The wolverine will try to revert back to jumping or galloping as soon as possible.
The wolverine's preferred mode of locomotion is a calm gallop. This results in tracks where the paw prints are grouped in threes or fours. A galloping wolverine's step is between 80 and 120 cm long. In soft snow the wolverine usually moves by jumping, which is typical for animals in the weasel family. The step of a jumping wolverine's step is 60–100 cm long. The wolverine varies its movements quite a bit and it may suddenly go from galloping to jumping or the other way around, depending on the situation.
The wolverine is known to embark on long, determined treks. It is a curious animal that may change its course when it comes across an interesting land mark, such as a large boulder. Sometimes a wolverine's tracks might have a winding quality to them, sort of like those of a fox that is looking for food under bushes and trees. The wolverine is an animal that likes to stay in motion. It is a tireless wanderer that sways its way forward at its own leisurely pace.
Other signs of a wolverine
The wolverine is a skilled climber and its claws might leave marks on pine trunks. In February–March the wolverine will dig a snow cave where it will give birth to its cubs.
In favourable snow conditions the wolverine can kill several reindeer in a short period of time. When it attacks a reindeer the wolverine usually jumps on its back and bites it in the withers and the back of the neck. A prey animal killed by a wolverine will therefore have noticeable contusions and holes in its back and the back of the neck. The wolverine is also a common visitor at the carcasses of animals killed by other large carnivores. If the scene shows signs of a fierce struggle, the animal was probably killed by the wolverine itself.
Droppings
The wolverine marks its territory by biting and urinating on spruce and pine saplings. The look of wolverine droppings varies. They may be dark in colour or they may have bone fragments or hairs in them. They are usually shaped like a sausage that tapers towards the other end. Wolverine droppings are around 2.5 cm thick.
Prey animals
The remains of a hare killed by a wolverine.
An old moose carcass hidden by a wolverine.
Diet and hunting behaviour
The wolverine is a carrion feeder. As a predator it is clumsy when compared to our other large carnivores, but in the winter it can still kill several reindeer in quick succession.
Behaviour and reproduction of the wolverine
The wolverine preys on an extremely wide selection of animals from small mammals to deer species and full-grown reindeer.

ESA's Pangaea training course prepares astronauts and space engineers to identify planetary geological features during future missions to the Moon, Mars and asteroids.
The Pangaea campaign – named after the ancient supercontinent – provides the crew with introductory and practical knowledge to find interesting rock samples and assess the most likely places to find traces of life on other planets. Leading European planetary geologists share their insights into the geology of the Solar System.
Theoretical work is followed by field trips to the Ries impact crater in Germany, the sedimentary environment of Geopark Bletterbach in the Italian Dolomites and the volcanic landscapes of the Geopark of Lanzarote, Spain.
Pangaea is the first step in preparing European astronauts to become planetary explorers on missions to other planets, allowing them to effectively communicate with science advisors on Earth.
Through Pangaea, Europe is also developing operational concepts for surface missions where astronauts and robots work together, among themselves and with scientists and engineers on Earth, using the best field geology and planetary observation techniques.

A Time-to-Amplitude Converter (TAC) can achieve exceptional precision by using an analog technique to convert small time intervals to pulse amplitudes. When a timing application demands picosecond precision, a time-to-amplitude converter is a prime candidate. A time-to-amplitude converter is a productive solution for measurements less than 10 μs when time resolutions from 10 ps to 50 ns are required.
The time calibrator provides accurate calibration of the time scale in these measurements.

Protecting GBAL
Previous topic - Next topic
MrTAToad
I've been giving some thought to how to protect GBAL files, and whilst I what I propose wont change the format of GBAL it would require a few mods to the IDE
In addition, it wont stop people trying to convert back to C - although it would help if the conversion to GBAL had the ability to crunch the resulting code (although a lot can be done by the original coder).
Therefore, what I propose is :
All GBAL's should be place in one place within the GLBasic directory, with each given a separate directory. This applies to both commercial and free ones as well,
Each directory would contain the GBAL file and a license information file (LIF) (the contents of which will be discussed later).
When the IDE starts it would scan the GBAL directory looking for new directories (and retrieving each LIF file as it goes along), and comparing this to a previous list.
Once this scanning has finished, and any new commercial GBAL's have been found, a window will display the list, and the user will be asked to authenticate them.
The authentication process could be done in several ways : When a user has entered a, say, serial code, this would communicate with another server which would note the number of users, GBAL serial code and GLBasic serial code. This would allow easy detection of invalid multiple uses etc etc
The other way would be to create an encryption file (or modify the LIF file) that would contain the above mentioned information, but, of course, in a non-readable (and hopefully annoyingly difficult to decode).
Then, just before compilation, a check is made on all GBAL files - if they are not registered or invalid then they are ignored from the linking phase, creating an error.
This wont get around anyone doing all the compiling from the command line, but if anyone is that desperate, then you can't do that much about it.

Certificates might be the right way to go. the problem is, when you are really evil, you could legally buy a library, then spend a day to find out how to get the C++ code of it by breaking the compiler. And then another week to convert the C++ back to GLBasic so you can use the library w/o the certificate.
The main problem is, that the GCC _must_ be fed with C++ source files.

The main problem is, that the GCC _must_ be fed with C++ source files.
I had a thought :S
Maybe im off-base here, maybe not..i dont know gcc format well enough, but i will give the idea a voicing..
You know how you load an image into memory to be processed without an actual file, when you use GRABSPRITE?
Is this possible with c++ to force the gcc to process information stored in memory as opposed to an actual file???
If this were possible...you could encrypt the gbal, forward and backward to the memory, of course to protect the contents of the gbal.

MrTAToad
Would it be possible to create .lib (or possibly .o) files ?
Kitty Hello
.o/.lib files have no connection to the GLBasic interface then...
I just saw, that GCC can read from stdin files. That might be an option to consider!

Quote.o/.lib files have no connection to the GLBasic interface then...
That should be no problem - if an easy way to add/remove .o/.lib files to the LNK section (so the user wont need to keep doing it), that could be a way.

text: Using a structural dynamic programming model, we investigate the relative importance of family background variables and individual specific abilities in explaining cross-sectional differences in schooling attainments and wages. Given scholastic ability, household background variables (especially parents' education) account for 68% of the explained crosssectional variations in schooling attainments. When the effects of household background variables on ability are also taken into account, the percentage raises to 85%. However, individual differences in wages are mostly explained by abilities. Only 27% of the explained variation in wages is accounted for by parents? background variables as opposed to 73% by unobserved abilities (orthogonal to family background variables). When scholastic ability is correlated with family background variables, ability endowments explain as much as 81% of individual wages.

Keys to Aging Cheddar Cheese
- Be sure that the cheese is in a controlled environment and the temperature is between 46°F and 52°F for best aging. At Golden Age Cheese we age our cheese at a constant 48°F.
- The Cheese must have a good seal so the cheese does not mold during the aging process.
- The cheese should not be exposed to natural light while in the aging process.
- Time is key! "The longer the cheese sits, the sharper it gets". A good start is 18 months for sharp Cheddar, but age it yourself for as long as you please.


The FEI Proposes New Rules on Pony Measuring: Why? What are they? How will they affect you?
If you are reading this article, you probably know the difference between a pony and a horse and have heard the terms "measuring in" and "measuring out" bandied about. But did you know that the FEI is proposing to dramatically revise the Pony measuring rules? This could have a massive impact on Pony owners, so we recommend you read carefully and raise any concerns you may have with your National Federations or with the FEI directly.
What are the current rules?
Under the current rules, ponies are measured at FEI events handpicked by the FEI Veterinary Department. Two measuring vets assess the ponies at these selected events using FEI certified and calibrated measuring sticks.
If you are a pony owner, the somewhat arbitrary figure of 150cm may strike fear into you because it is currently the maximum height allowed for a pony (without shoes) on competition day. Outside of competition, 148cm (without shoes) is the maximum height. Non-pony-owners might be surprised to know that ponies can 'grow' by several centimetres when under competition pressure, due to muscle exertion and sweat. Additionally, measuring conditions at events are not always perfect – there have been some controversial cases over the last few years where the measuring ground surface was found to be uneven, adding phantom centimetres to pony height. This is the reason for the FEI allowing 2cm of leeway as they explain that this compensates for any uncertainty around uneven surfaces
If a pony measures above the 150cm mark, it will not be able to compete that day. But all is not lost; an appeal can be made, leading to an appeal measurement within 40 days. The appeal measurement is done outside of event conditions and your pony has the chance to shrink back down and be called a pony again under FEI rules.

Why does the FEI want to change the rules?
The FEI identified several motivating factors behind the new proposals.
First, the FEI acknowledges the unnecessary stress, particularly for children, caused by measuring at competitions. Pony measuring – and incidental disputes – undoubtedly increase an already pressured environment. Pony measuring stress is not limited to children; it also draws in their parents and trainers. Nobody wants to travel hours to a competition, only to be told to turn around and go home again. And for those of us who are parents, we all know that there is nothing that induces stress more than the possibility of deeply disappointing our children. This makes for an explosive combination when pony measuring at events goes badly.
Additionally, the FEI believes that the 150cm limit allows ponies that are too large to compete – they think this current upper measurement is too high and needs to be curtailed.
The FEI also has efficiency on its mind. They want to eradicate the appeals system, which they believe wastes time and money. They are concerned about cases where a pony exceeded the maximum height (or 'measured out') at competition, then has a successful appeal measurement within 40 days… and then goes on to measure out at an event later that year. The FEI thinks the new proposals will prevent that from happening and therefore level the playing field for true ponies.
So… what are the new proposals?
The FEI is proposing doing away with pony measuring at competitions and instead implementing a system of global measuring sessions, undertaken yearly in each country or region. The maximum height would be reduced from 150cm without shoes to 148cm without shoes (149cm with shoes)
The FEI has suggested that the measuring sessions could take place between January 1 and March 15 each year, with an option for other sessions after this period. The sessions will take place at set measuring stations, with the FEI aiming to place at least one in each European country. The FEI proposes a complete revamp of the measuring stations under the new system. To ensure the stations are fair and consistent, the FEI has stated that there must be a flat measuring pad for ponies to stand on, an area to walk the ponies in hand, an area for ponies to urinate and finally an area for lunging and riding. There will be a measurement fee, which has not yet been set, charged for each pony.
The actual method used to measure the ponies may also evolve, as the FEI looks to increase efficiency and accuracy. The FEI is looking into using a recently developed laser device that works by sending a laser beam to the ground once placed on top of a pony. High tech!
If a pony 'measures in' the pony's profile in the FEI database will be updated to include the measurement result and the FEI will issue it with a measuring certificate. Going forward, only ponies with an FEI measuring certificate will be allowed to enter FEI pony competitions.
Ponies will need to be measured every year, until they reach eight years old. Once a pony reaches eight, the FEI will issue a lifetime certificate.

How will these proposals affect you? Should you be concerned?
If the new pony measurement proposals are accepted by National Federations, the transition period in which newly registered ponies would go through the new system, would begin on January 1, 2020 and end on January 1, 2023. During this period the FEI would carry out measuring only at three events: the European Pony Championships, the Nations Cup Final, and the Pony Trophy Final.
If your pony is already registered with the FEI, you do not need to worry about getting a certificate until January 1, 2023. That said, if your pony 'measures out' during the transition period, you will have no right to appeal and your pony must then register under the new system. Your National Federation will be notified and your pony will be blocked and will need to be re-registered as a horse. Any attempt to have the horse return back to pony status can only be made once in the same year and after that, once a year for two years.
These proposals to modify the Pony measuring system will be shared with your National Federations and then voted on at the FEI General Assembly later this year. If you have any important feedback, good or bad, you should get in touch with your National Federation and share it as your National Federations are empowered to provide feedback to the FEI during the consultation period on these proposed rules.

Southfury River

The Southfury River is likely Kalimdor's most prominent river. Beginning as a small stream in the highlands surrounding Mount Hyjal, it grows into a wide, swift-flowing river that forms the boundary between Ashenvale[95, 48] Forest and Azshara, and further south, the border between the Northern Barrens and Durotar, where nasty creatures known as crocolisks patrol the waters. The river empties into the Great Sea in a cascading waterfall just northeast of the goblin port town of Ratchet.
There are two bridges that span the Southfury River: one leading into the capital city, Orgrimmar, in the north and one that crosses from Durotar into the Northern Barrens more to the south.
In the Cataclysm, the river floods the southwestern part of Durotar. A goblin with a riverboat, Horton Hornblower, can also be found where the river empties near Ratchet.

Jólan van der Wiel's Gravity Stool defies the forces of nature as it is pulled by a "magnet machine"
Jólan van der Wiel defies gravity
Gerrit Rietveld Academie graduate uses super strength magnet to make uniquely shaped furniture
Dutch designer Jólan van der Wiel has been developing furniture made using a unique combination of magnetic plastic and gravity to create objects that are as strange as they are beautiful. Van der Wiel studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, an institution renowned for its highly conceptual and experimental approach to teaching and which routinely encourages its students to push the boundaries of design. It was during his time here that he created the process by which his amazing magnetic creations are born. He placed iron shavings and liquid plastic in a bowl below a magnetic block attached to a pulley and lowered it slowly until the magnetic force prompted the mixture below to rise upwards in jagged stalagmite-like formations towards the magnet. These crystalline constructions would then become the legs of his Gravity Stools. The video below, shot by Miranda Stet, poetically demonstrates the process taking place.
"Departing from the idea that everything is influenced by gravitation, a force that has a strongly shaping effect, I intended to manipulate this natural phenomenon by exploiting its own power: magnetism," the designer explains. "The positioning of the magnetic fields in the machine, opposing each other, largely determines the final shape of the Gravity Stool."
Jólan van der Wiel, Gravity Stool (Purple)Jólan van der Wiel, Gravity Stool (Purple)
The organic appearance and unique formation of each stool is connected to the growth of natural organisms. "The forms and products are characterised by the freakish and organic shapes so typical of nature itself." His innovative approach to design has just won him the prestigious [D3] Contest for young designers at the imm Cologne Fair. Van der Wiel's product was chosen from 689 entries from 44 different countries.
