We have studied the magnetoelectric coupling of the frustrated triangular antiferromagnet iron jarosite using Raman spectroscopy, dielectric measurements and specific heat. Temperature dependent capacitance measurements show an anomaly in the dielectric constant at TN. Specific heat data indicate the presence of a low frequency Einstein mode at low temperature. Raman spectroscopy confirms the presence of a new mode below TN that can be attributed to folding of the Brillouin zone. This mode shifts and sharpens below TN. We evaluate the strength of the magnetoelectric coupling using the symmetry unrestricted biquadratic magnetoelectric terms in the free energy.

How To Tie Shoelaces For Converse
Since Converse are such a unique brand of shoes, you have probably wondered how to tie shoelaces for Converse. The truth is, tying shoelaces for Converse is the same as any other shoes, and can be mastered fairly quickly.
To tie shoelaces for Converse, you will need:
- A pair of Converse
- Put on both pairs of shoes and make sure that they are laced correctly. The shoelaces should run through all of the holes on the side of the Converse, and an equal length of shoelace should stick out on the right and left side of the first pair of holes.
- Now, tighten the shoe by pulling on the shoelaces on the left and right side of the shoes. This will make sure that the shoes fit you well when the shoelaces are tied.
- Cross the left and right lace by pulling the left string under the right string. This will create an "X" shape.
- Hold the left lace (which was originally the right lace) and form a loop, holding it in place between the index finger and thumb of your left hand. Do the same for the right lace, holding it in place with your right hand. Cross both loops by putting the right loop over the left loop.
- Tie both loops into a knot, like you did in step three. Take care to ensure that the loops don't accidentally open up. If they do, simply repeat step four.
- Pull tightly and your shoelaces are now tied. To untie the shoes, simply pull on the laces.

Is 100mm of concrete enough in naturally-ventilated buildings?
A question often asked by architects and designers is: "Will 100mm of concrete provide enough thermal mass?" The answer largely depends on the extent to which you want to optimise the building design. It is sometimes thought that a 100mm of concrete is sufficient, but this fails to take account of a range of factors including how buildings actually respond to real weather conditions. For example, a naturally-ventilated office with exposed 100mm concrete composite floors (steel decking/soffit with insitu concrete topping) might have sufficient heat capacity to cope with a simple 24-hour heating and cooling cycle. However, in addition to a building's daily cycle, there are also longer cycles related to a typical hot spell (usually three to five days) and also the five working days per week cycle, from which heat will reach different depths within the available thermal mass. In the case of floors in a non-air conditioned building for example, the greater the slab depth, the longer the time period it responds to; the core of a 300mm thick concrete slab responds to the monthly average condition and draws heat in deeper over an extended period of hot weather.
For longer time periods these factors are important because it is the longer-term average room temperatures that define the thermal storage core temperature and hence the temperature gradient that draws heat in to the concrete. So, whilst a 100mm of concrete offers some useful thermal mass, thicker slabs provide greater temperature stability and increased cooling performance across a range of conditions including hot periods.
To help visualise what this means in practice, the graph below shows how the soffit temperature of exposed 100mm and 300mm floors in a naturally-ventilated office respond to hot weather. This was produced using finite difference modelling to calculate the heat transfer at the soffit and into the floor slab over the course of several days, during which there is a shift to warmer weather.

 if (order[i] > total){
 order[i] -= total;
 order[i] += 1;
// apply the new order
Now, some explanation:
As stated in the comment, in order to reorder the pages, you will need to know on what page number your table of contents starts. In order to do that, you need to store the page number as a variable when you add the table of contents:
int toc = writer.getPageNumber();
Once you have finished adding all your content to the PDF, call:
If you are reordering pages, it is a requirement to add a new page. The page will not actually be inserted into your document.
To grab the total number of pages in the document run:
int total = writer.reorderPages(null);
Then we are going to create an array of integers:
int[] order = new int[total];
These integers are going to be our page numbers.
We are going to loop through each page. To keep the title page as page one, we will set the first integer in the array to 1 (page 1).
 if (i == 0){
 order[i] = 1;
Next, we will make the second integer in the array the first page of the table of contents.
else if (i == 1){
 order [i] = toc;
Essentially, we are saying, if we are at page 2, set it to page x (x being the first page of the table of contents).
For each subsequent page, we have to check if it is an additional page in the table of contents section, or if it is the rest of the actual document.
else {
 if (order[i] > total){
 order[i] -= total;
 order[i] += 1;
What we are doing here is looking at the index of the array, subtracting one so the pages of the table of contents will remain sequential. Imagine we have ten pages, and the last three pages are the generated table of contents. Index 0 is page 1. Index 1 is page 8. Now, the next index is 2 (what will be the third page), so we are going to add the index to the table of contents page number to increment through the table of contents. 2 +8 is 10, not 9. So until we have finished going through the table of contents, we have to subtract 1 from the index. Otherwise we skip a page, and we will end up missing a page in the end. Actually, the code will just fail.
We check to see if the table of contents is finished by asking if the page number at index "i" is greater than the total number of possible pages. The last page of the document is the last page of the table of contents. So if the page number exceeds the total, then we are going to subtract the total from the current page number. Again, in our ten page PDF example: Index 4 - 1 is 3. Then we add the toc page number (8) to get 11. That is now the current page number of index 4. When we check to see if that page is outside the total possible pages, we find that it is. So we subtract the total possible pages (10). Then we are left with index 4 equalling page number 1. But we are already referencing page 1 in index 0. Remember we subtracted one from the index in the previous operation? Well, we are just going to add that back now that we are finished iterating through the table of contents. So index 4 is now correctly referencing page 2.
Once we have iterated through the entire array, we set this new order (using our 10 page example, the new order would be: 1, 8, 9, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) as the order of the document using this method:
Then we close the document and go about our merry way.
 2010-09-21T07:01:54-04:00 _URL_ When I was 9, I pictured my life very differently at this point. According to my nine year-old desires, my daily activities should include preforming heart surgery in the morning, teaching a class of fifth graders in the afternoon, and polishing off the next great American novel. As I age, I constantly think my years of creation and productivity are gone. I know, I know. This is naive of me, and completely unfounded. In fact, it's somewhat insulting to those I admire and respect around me. The world is replete with examples of individuals who stretched themselves well into adulthood. Maybe it's Hollywood, but I have this misconception that has been percolating in my subconscious that the only time I will do anything truly groundbreaking and lasting is in my twenties. Oh, how awful this world would be if that single decade of transitioning adult years was the only time we could follow our passions.
Television shows like American Idol and others show the young phenoms out there. We drool over individuals who are preternaturally gifted at a young age. The three year-old who can play the drums like John Bonham. Or the 10 year-old opera singer. We shower praise on the golfer who has been playing since he was three, and many are left in the shadow of the 18 year-old drafted to the NBA straight out of high school. And of course, who can forget the 23 year-old billionaire? Seeing the many examples of early stardom, I sometimes get stuck with this feeling that if I didn't steel/invent Facebook by the time I was 20, then I should settle down as a happy cog in someone else's world.
We don't have to settle for who we have become, because we have complete control over who we are going to be.
But the world is also filled with examples of people who are more like the rest of us. As Marge Simpson says, "Slow and steady wins the race." Don't pay attention to the 14 year-old phenom– get out there and make it happen! Who do you look up to who had a "late start" in their new careers?
At 37Signals, there was an article that mentioned Vincent Van Gogh. They pointed out that:
He wasn't some child prodigy (he was 27 when he started painting), he learned his craft by hard work.
He only practiced art for the last 10 years of his life. Granted, at that point, he suffered from mental illness and died penniless. So I am not saying we should emulate every aspect of the guy's life, but look at what he was able to achieve. This really struck me because growing up in Holland, I always pictured this man painting and drawing obsessively as a child, but that was not the case. He worked at his craft, poured his soul into it, but not until he was older. Do you have to be insane, though, to do what Van Gogh did? No.
How many of us can say we have truly poured ourselves into a craft with same gusto as Van Gogh? Whether it be academic study, or learning to sew, or becoming more focused, or learning to program? Is it ever too late to start? No. It's not.

I find myself consuming far more than I produce. We live in a world, or a nation at least, of constant intake. It would be interesting to personally figure out how much time I (not a statistical model of me) spend looking at the television screen watching movies, TV shows, reading blogs or books, playing games. You could even boil it down to how much time do I spend in front of a screen. In fact, as I write, I am watching Caprica on the screen behind the screen on which I am typing.
I wake in the morning and open a laptop screen on which I can spend upwards of an hour or two reading about what other people are doing: retro video game decorations for your bedroom, game design articles, video processing algorithms, insurgent militia actions in the Middle East, death squads in Dubai, using the telephone wires in your home to make a whole-house stereo system, geeky comics about math and computers, finding movies to watch online. Since I work during the day and have a 3-month old in the house, my time in the morning is pretty much the only time I have to pursue my personal dreams and interests (and that time will become increasingly more valuable and precious as my family grows). Yet I spend ALL THAT TIME consuming other people's ability to do, while letting mine languish in the lost time of an ever-increasing digital diet. I suffer from media obesity.
Taking in more calories than you burn will cause your body to become soft. Does consuming more content than you produce make your brain soft?
I hate those people that tell me that television shows are pointless or movies a waste of time, I don't believe that at all. If I spend my time ingesting a lot of junk-food content, however, I essentially fill up faster on empty calories. I remember listening to an interview with director Edgar Wright of Shuan of the Dead fame (

2 Answers 2
Here is an example function that will work with the example 1-simple.html example..
To Add a Row at the top:
 function addRow(){
 var newRow = {title: "new Title", duration: "1 day"};
 var rowData = grid.getData();
 rowData.splice(0, 0, newRow);
 grid.scrollRowIntoView(0, false);
To Delete row, it is the same idea. Get the grid data collection/ slice the array to get the data out of you want to delete and then call setData and render...
share|improve this answer
Sometimes Splice doesn't work. Try the code below:
DataView.insertItem(insertBefore, item) ///Here insertBefore can be 0
function addRow() {
 var newRow = columns,
 newId = dataView.getLength();
 newRow.id = newId + 1;
 dataView.insertItem(0, newRow);
and then you can call this function on button click. This really works. I have tried it myself.

Effects of Interaction of Static Load and Frost on Damage Mechanism of Concrete Elements
Keywords:concrete, cyclic freezing and thawing, scaling, bending, fracture mechanics, interaction
AbstractFrost damage is typical material deterioration in concrete structures subjected to external environmental conditions. However, the weather conditions do not make the sufficient factor causing the worsening of the concrete properties. Concrete structures with frost damage in service are subjected to loadings. The investigation was carried out with the primary objective to assess the influence of interaction of mechanical load and freeze-thaw cycles on damage process of concrete. The salt scaling process was observed for beam specimens subjected to cyclic freezing and thawing in third-point loading condition. The damage development due to internal cracking was monitored using fracture mechanics parameters.


Oracle Scratchpad
July 29, 2015
Existence
Filed under: Execution plans,Oracle,subqueries,Subquery Factoring,Tuning — Jonathan Lewis @ 1:05 pm GMT Jul 29,2015
A recent question on the OTN Database Forum asked:
I need to check if at least one record present in table before processing rest of the statements in my PL/SQL procedure. Is there an efficient way to achieve that considering that the table is having huge number of records like 10K.
I don't think many readers of the forum would consider 10K to be a huge number of records; nevertheless it is a question that could reasonably be asked, and should prompt a little discssion.
First question to ask, of course is: how often do you do this and how important is it to be as efficient as possible. We don't want to waste a couple of days of coding and testing to save five seconds every 24 hours. Some context is needed before charging into high-tech geek solution mode.
Next question is: what's wrong with writing code that just does the job, and if it finds that the job is complete after zero rows then you haven't wasted any effort. This seems reasonable in (say) a PL/SQL environment where we might discuss the following pair of strategies:
Option 1:
=========
-- execute a select statement to see in any rows exist
if (flag is set to show rows) then
 for r in (select all the rows) loop
 do something for each row
 end loop;
end if;
Option 2:
=========
for r in (select all the rows) loop
 do something for each row;
end loop;
If this is the type of activity you have to do then it does seem reasonable to question the sense of putting in an extra statement to see if there are any rows to process before processing them. But there is a possibly justification for doing this. The query to find just one row may produce a very efficient execution plan, while the query to find all the rows may have to do something much less efficient even when (eventually) it finds that there is no data. Think of the differences you often see between a first_rows_1 plan and an all_rows plan; think about how Oracle can use index-only access paths and table elimination – if you're only checking for existence you may be able to produce a MUCH faster plan than you can for selecting the whole of the first row.
Next question, if you think that there is a performance benefit from the two-stage approach: is the performance gain worth the cost (and risk) of adding a near-duplicate statement to the code – that's two statements that have to be maintained every time you make a change. Maybe it's worth "wasting" a few seconds on every execution to avoid getting the wrong results (or an odd extra hour of programmer time) once every few months. Bear in mind, also, that the optimizer now has to optimize two statement instead of one – you may not notice the extra CPU usage in testing but perhaps in the live environment the execution benefit will be eroded by the optimization cost.
Next question, if you still think that the two-stage process is a good idea: will it result in an inconsistent database state ?! If you select and find a row, then run and find that there are no rows to process because something modified and "hid" the row you found on the first pass – what are you going to do. Will this make the program crash ? Will it produce an erroneous result on this run, or will a silent side effect be that the next run will produce the wrong results. (See Billy Verreynne's comment on the original post). Should you set the session to serializable before you start the program, or maybe lock a critical table to make sure it can't change.
So, assuming you've decided that some form of "check for existence then do the job" is both desirable and safe, what's the most efficient strategy. Here's one of the smarter solutions that minimises risk and effort (in this case using a pl/sql environment).
select count(*)
into m_counter
from dual
where exists ({your original driving select statement})
;
if m_counter = 0 then
 null;
else
 for c1 in {your original driving select statement} loop
 -- do whatever
 end loop;
end if;
The reason I describe this solution as smarter, with minimum risk and effort, is that (a) you use EXACTLY the same SQL statement in both locations so there should be no need to worry about making the same effective changes twice to two slightly different bits of SQL and (b) the optimizer will recognise the significance of the existence test and run in first_rows_1 mode with maximum join elimination and avoidance of redundant table visits. Here's a little data set I can use to demonstrate the principle:
create table t1
as
select
 mod(rownum,200) n1, -- scattered data
 mod(rownum,200) n2,
 rpad(rownum,180) v1
from
 dual
connect bytin
 level <= 10000 -- > comment to avoid WordPress formatting problem
;
delete from t1 where n1 = 100;
commit;
create index t1_i1 on t1(n1);
begin
 dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(
 user,
 't1',
 cascade => true,
 method_opt => 'for all columns size 1'
 );
end;
/
It's just a simple table with index, but the index isn't very good for finding the data – it's repetitive data widely scattered through the table: 10,000 rows with only 200 distinct values. But check what happens when you do the dual existence test – first we run our "driving" query to show the plan that the optimizer would choose for it, then we run with the existence test to show the different strategy the optimizer takes when the driving query is embedded:
alter session set statistics_level = all;
select *
from t1
where n1 = 100
;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'allstats last cost'));
select count(*)
from dual
where exists (
 select * from t1 where n1 = 100
 )
;
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'allstats last cost'));
Notice how I've enabled rowsource execution statistics and pulled the execution plans from memory with their execution statistics. Here they are:
select * from t1 where n1 = 100
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Starts | E-Rows | Cost (%CPU)| A-Rows | A-Time | Buffers |

Visual novels
Visual Novels are rather static games that do not feature a lot of gameplay, they are completely story-driven experience. Visual Novels focus on static graphics, sound and text that keeps moving and developing as you make choices that will affect the narrative. There are several ending options for most Visual Novels and you can reach each of them by altering the storyline once you are required to make a choice in the game. Your choices can do both lead you through the story in different plots or make you face the bad ending and you will have to replay. Visual Novels originated in Japan and most of the examples of them are anime-like.
As there are many different options and a lot of scenarios the novel can take once you start making choices, the games are likely to be huge (in terms of possibilities). The game takes the direction you choose. What will you do? It's up to you only.

Dirt road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Fieldway)
Jump to: navigation, search
Cattle on a dirt road in Paraguay.
A dirt road is an unpaved road made from the native material of the land surface through which it passes, known to highway engineers as subgrade material. Dirt roads are suitable for vehicles; a narrower path for pedestrians, animals, and possibly small vehicles would be called a dirt track—the distinction is not well-defined. Unpaved roads with a harder surface made by the addition of material such as gravel and aggregate (stones), might be referred to as dirt roads in common usage but are distinguished as improved roads by highway engineers. (Improved unpaved roads include gravel roads, laterite roads, murram roads and macadamized roads.)
Compared to a gravel road, a dirt road is not usually graded regularly to produce an enhanced camber to encourage rainwater to drain off the road, and drainage ditches at the sides may be absent. They are unlikely to have embankments through low-lying areas. This leads to greater waterlogging and erosion, and after heavy rain the road may be impassable even to off-road vehicles. For this reason, in some countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, they are known as dry-weather roads.
Dirt road in Switzerland for agricultural use.
Dirt roads take on different characteristics according to the soils and geology where they pass, and may be sandy, stony, rocky or have a bare earth surface, which could be extremely muddy and slippery when wet, and baked hard when dry. They are likely to become impassable after rain. They are common in rural areas of many countries, often very narrow and infrequently used, and are also found in metropolitan areas of many developing countries, where they may also be used as major highways and have considerable width.
Terms similar to dirt road are dry-weather road, earth road, or the "Class Four Highway" designation used in the People's Republic of China. A track, dirt track, or earth track would normally be similar but less suitable for larger vehicles.
Driving on dirt roads[edit]
Detail of a dry, loamy road.
While most gravel roads are all-weather roads and can be used by ordinary cars, dirt roads may only be passable by trucks or four-wheel drive vehicles, especially in wet weather, or on rocky or very sandy sections. It is as easy to become bogged in sand as it is in mud; a high clearance under the vehicle may be required for rocky sections.
Driving on dirt roads requires great attention to variations in the surface and it is easier to lose control than on a gravel road. In addition to the hazards already mentioned, and potholes, ruts and ridges, problems associated with driving on gravel roads include:
 - sharper and larger stones cutting and puncturing tires, or being thrown up by the wheels and damaging the underside, especially puncturing the fuel tank if not shielded
 - stones skipping up hitting the car body, lights or windshields when two vehicles pass each other
 - dust thrown up from a passing vehicle reducing visibility
 - 'washboard' corrugations cause loss of control or damage to vehicle systems such as suspension and steering
 - Skidding (loss of traction) on mud after rain.

This is an 1880's photo of 653 W Wrightwood (now 655 W Wrightwood) in the Lincoln Park Neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Note the wooden sidewalk, dirt road and lack of buildings surrounding the edifice.
Laterite and murram roads[edit]
In Africa parts of Asia, and parts of America, laterite soils are used to build dirt roads. However laterite, called murram in East Africa, varies considerably to earth and sand. It ranges from a hard gravel to a softer earth embedded with small stones. Not all laterite and murram roads are therefore strictly gravel roads. Laterite and murram which contains a significant proportion of clay becomes very slippery when wet, and in the rainy season, it may be difficult even for four-wheel drive vehicles to avoid slipping off very cambered roads into the drainage ditches at the side of the road. As it dries out, such laterite can become very hard, like sun-dried bricks.

Search for in Sysoon's death records database.
This interesting and popular surname is of medieval English origin. It is a patronymic form of the given name "Nik(ke)", a short form of Nicholas, itself a derivation of the Greek "Nikolaos". This is a compound of the consisting of the elements "nike", meaning 'victory', plus 'laos' - the people. As 'The Victory People' it is not surprising that the name was popular, as this is how the Ancient Greeks saw themselves. The name is found in pre-Conquest England, one 'Nicolaus' being recorded in the 1086 a.d. Domesday Book as holding land before 1066. The surname is first recorded in the early 14th Century (see below) and is also found as Nickson and Nixson, whilst John Nickeson is listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Warwickshire (1332). The surname is widespread on both sides of the Scottish Border, with William Nycson occupying lands in the district of Ermyldoune, in Liddesdale, Scotland, in 1376. William Nykson was one of the "borowis" for the earl of Douglas's 'bounds of the West March' in 1398. Today, the surname is also numerous in Ulster, since it was established in counties Antrim and Fermanagh at the time of the Plantation of Ulster (1609). One of the earliest settlers in the New World was one Mary Nixon, who is recorded as holding five acres of land in the parish of Christ Church, in the Barbados, in 1678. A Coat of Arms granted to the family is gold, on a red chevron between three red leopards' faces, three suns in splendour proper. The Crest is that of a leopard rampant guardant proper. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robert Nikkesune, which was dated 1309, in the "Records of the Borough of Nottingham", during the reign of King Edward 11, known as "Edward of Caernafon", 1307 - 1327. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Do Individuals That Use Noradrenaline Blockers Retain Hair Colour?
Image credit: Adrian Fernández /Unsplash
Jamila Sep 08, 2020
Do individuals that use noradrenaline inhibitors retain hair color?
Zhang et al. found that stress stimulates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to release a rush of noradrenaline. The spike in noradrenaline causes a steep decline in the number of melanocyte stem cells, and this leads to the loss of hair colour.
In the same study, Zhang and colleagues found that a drug called guanethidine was able to prevent stress-induced hair greying in mice. Zhang suggests that the mice treated with guanethidine were able to maintain the melanocyte stem cell population and that's why they didn't lose their hair colour.
So what is guanethidine?
Guanethidine is a drug that blocks the release of noradrenaline from the nerve endings. It is an anti-hypertensive drug commonly used to treat high blood pressure as it can reduce the heart rate and can dilate the blood vessels.
Interestingly, noradrenaline inhibitors can be prescribed to individuals with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Perhaps a study could be conducted to determine whether other noradrenaline inhibitors like atomoxetine, reboxetine, tandamine, etc. have the ability to retain hair colour. If so, this would be highly beneficial because most of these drugs are already licensed and would just need to be repurposed as a hair pigment therapy.
So do individuals that use noradrenaline inhibitors retain their hair colour?

Abstract

Deviating behavior within an organization can lead to unexpected results. The eects of deviations are often negative, but sometimes also positive. Therefore, it is useful to detect deviations from event logs which record all the behavior of the organization. However, existing model-based and cluster-based approaches are inaccurate or slow when dealing with complex event logs, i.e. logs of less structured processes having many activities and many possible paths. This paper proposes a novel approach that is faster than cluster-based approaches because it creates a so-called prole which is less time-consuming than creating clusters. Furthermore, the approach is also more accurate than model-based approaches because we use an iterative approach to improve the result. Our experiments show that approach outperforms existing techniques in a variety of circumstances.

Doubly terminated quartz crystals named for Herkimer County, New York
Herkimer Diamond Quartz Crystals
"Herkimer Diamonds" is the name given to the doubly terminated quartz crystals found in Herkimer County, New York and surrounding areas. Examples of these crystals are shown in the photo at right. Note that these crystals have the typical hexagonal habit of quartz, however, instead of having a termination on one end they are doubly terminated. This is a result of the crystals growing with very little or no contact with their host rock. Such doubly terminated crystals are very rare and this is part of what makes Herkimer Diamonds so popular with mineral collectors.
The host rock for Herkimer Diamonds is the Cambrian-age, Little Falls Dolostone. The Little Falls Dolostone was deposited about 500 million years ago and the Herkimer Diamonds formed in cavities within the dolostone. These cavities are frequently lined with drusy quartz crystals and often are coated with a tarry hydrocarbon (see image below).Although Herkimer County, New York is the location for which these crystals are named, similar doubly terminated quartz crystals have been found in a few other locations, including Arizona, Afghanistan, Norway, Ukraine and China. They have the same appearance but can not rightfully be called "Herkimers". The doubly terminated quartz crystals shown in the lower right photo are from a deposit in Afghanistan.
"Herkimer Diamonds" found in Afghanistan. Similar crystals are found at several locations.
Who Discovered Herkimer Diamonds?The Herkimer Diamonds of New York are not a recent discovery. The Mohawk Indians and early settlers knew about the crystals. They found them in stream sediments and plowed fields. These people were amazed with the crystals and immediately held them in high esteem.
Herkimer Diamond MinesSome of the best places to find Herkimer Diamonds today are located along New York State Route 28 in Middleville, New York. (When visiting this area it is important to remember that all land in New York either belongs to the government or is private property. Collecting minerals from government lands is illegal in New York and collecting on private property always requires permission in advance.) There are two commercial mines on New York State Route 28 at Middleville, New York. Both allow collectors to enter and prospect for a nominal fee. Both locations also rent equipment such as hammers, wedges and other small tools. They also have small exhibit areas where you can view and/or purchase specimens.
Mining for Herkimer DiamondsThe key to finding Herkimer Diamonds is a knowledge that they occur in cavities (vugs) within the Little Falls Dolostone These cavities can be smaller than a pea or several feet across. At both of the mines listed above the Little Falls Dolostone is exposed at the surface and a significant amount of broken rock is scattered across the quarry floor.
"Find and Break" ProspectingThe easy way to prospect is to find pieces of vuggy rock and break them open with a heavy hammer. If you are lucky the rock will break to reveal one or several Herkimer Diamonds within a cavity. If your visit to the mine will last just a few hours or even a single day this is a good way to spend your time.Dolomite is a very tough rock so expect to work hard. The use of safety glasses is required and wise collectors wear gloves to protect their hands. We always wear jeans or heavy long pants and a long sleeve shirt for "find and break" prospecting. Small pieces of dolomite will sometimes fly when a rock breaks and they can easily cut or bruise a person wearing short pants. The "find and break" prospecting method described above is employed by many people who visit these mines and can lead to a few good finds. The keys to success are selection of good rocks to break and not being discouraged if you break fifty rocks without finding a crystal. (See image below to know what "vuggy rock" looks like. "Scavenger" ProspectingSome visitors to the mines have been successful by simply searching the rock rubble for exposed crystals or searching the quarry floor for loose crystals. We found several really nice crystals this way and lots of tiny ones. We have also seen children find many nice crystals this way.
"Cavity" ProspectingFor finding large quanties of crystals, the most successful mining method is to break into large cavities in the quarry walls and floors using sledge hammers and wedges (power equipment is not permitted at the mines listed in this article). This method requires tools, patience, time and a knowledge of how to break an extremely durable dolostone.
Some of Bill McIlquham's diamond prospecting tools: mainly hammers and wedges
Driving wedges into a crevice to break the dolostone: multiple wedges at several points.
If you like minerals and have an opportinity to visit the Herkimer County area of New York, consider spending a day looking for Herkimer Diamonds. Be sure to wear clothes that are suitable for working outdoors. Safety glasses are required and you will be sorry if you don't wear gloves. If you need a sledge hammer or other tools you can rent them at the mine for a very small fee.

Stop DTS Package Execution Conditionally Without Failure
There is no straight way in DTS to stop the package on a certain condition without having it fail. Suppose in DTS package is suppose to be executed everyday at 8:00AM. This package is looking for a file c:\abc.txt. If the file has not arrived, it should gracefully stop without reporting any error. If the file has arrived then process the file and report success. This situation is handled by a bit of programming. Write down the following code in ActiveX Script Task.
Dim fso, file1
Dim pkg
SET pkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

IF (fso.FileExists("c:\abc.txt")) THEN
 Msgbox "File exist. Continue"
 pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_2").DisableStep=False

 Set fso= Nothing

ELSE
 Msgbox "Stop"
 pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_2").DisableStep=True
END IF
set pkg=nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
What this does is disables the second step and hence the whole sequence of task is automatically disabled. so the Task1 will report success and DTS package execution will be completed without executing task 2 and onwards. You can download the dts package example and try to run it on your computer. It looks for file c:\abc.txt. If this file exists, it will run total 3 task with result SUCCESS. If the file is not found, it will run only Task1 with result SUCCESS.

I have an array of objects, some of which respond to :description, and I want to get the description from the first one with a truthy description. I could do this:
objects.detect{|o| o.try(:description)}.description
or this:
objects.map{|o| o.try(:description)}.detect{|o| o}
but the first isn't DRY (description is in there twice) and the second iterates through the whole array before finding the value. Is there anything in the ruby standard library, or in Rails' extensions to it, which would let me do something like this:
objects.detect_and_return{|o| o.try(:description)}
I know I could write it easily enough, but the standard libraries are big enough that I might not need to. Is there a function which works like my detect_and_return?

I haven't seen such a method, and the closest I found was a method capture_first which I found in the gem merb-cache. Seems they stumbled on the same problem and implemented this:
module Enumerable
 def capture_first
 each do |o|
 return yield(o) || next
You could also take a look at the Array and Enumerable methods in the Ruby facets library and see if you find something similar. Facets contains quite a lot of goodies, so you might get lucky.

Indeed - Enumerable#find_yield, aka Enumerable#map_detect. Thanks - I'd not heard about facets before. – Simon Aug 3 '11 at 13:45

INFORMATICA TRANSFORMATIONS
Aggregator Expression External Procedure Advanced External Procedure Filter Joiner Lookup Normalizer Rank Router Sequence Generator Stored Procedure Source Qualifier Update Strategy XML source qualifier
Expression Transformation You can use ET to calculate values in a single row before you write to the target You can use ET, to perform any non-aggregate calculation To perform calculations involving multiple rows, such as sums of averages, use the Aggregator. Unlike ET the Aggregator Transformation allow you to group and sort data
Calculation To use the Expression Transformation to calculate values for a single row, you must include the following ports. NOTE You can enter multiple expressions in a single ET. As long as you enter only one expression for each port, you can create any number of output ports in the Expression Transformation. In this way, you can use one expression transformation rather than creating separate transformations for each calculation that requires the same set of data. Input port for each value used in the calculation Output port for the expression
Sequence Generator Transformation Create keys Replace missing values This contains two output ports that you can connect to one or more transformations. The server generates a value each time a row enters a connected transformation, even if that value is not used. There are two parameters NEXTVAL, CURRVAL The SGT can be reusable You can not edit any default ports (NEXTVAL, CURRVAL)
-
SGT Properties NOTE Reset is disabled for Reusable SGT Unlike other transformations, you cannot override SGT properties at session level. This protects the integrity of sequence values generated. Start value Increment By End value Current value Cycle (If selected, server cycles through sequence range. Otherwise, Stops with configured end value) Reset No of cached values
Aggregator Transformation Difference between Aggregator and Expression Transformation We can use Aggregator to perform calculations on groups. Where as the Expression transformation permits you to calculations on row-by-row basis only. The server performs aggregate calculations as it reads and stores necessary data group and row data in an aggregator cache. When Incremental aggregation occurs, the server passes new source data through the mapping and uses historical cache data to perform new calculation incrementally. Components Aggregate Expression Group by port Aggregate cache When a session is being run using aggregator transformation, the server creates Index and data caches in memory to process the transformation. If the server requires more space, it stores overflow values in cache files. NOTE The performance of aggregator transformation can be improved by using "Sorted Input option". When this is selected, the server assumes all data is sorted by group.
Else Server create a new group and saves the record data (2) o o o o o When writing to the target. The second time you run the session. then: If it finds a corresponding group – The server performs the aggregate operation incrementally. If the source changes significantly. and you want the server to continue saving the aggregate data for the future incremental changes. If the source changes only incrementally and you can capture changes. The server creates the file in local directory. and saves the incremental changes. Updates modified aggregate groups in the target Inserts new aggregate data Delete removed aggregate data Ignores unchanged aggregate data Saves modified aggregate data in Index/Data files to be used as historical data the next time you run the session. you can configure the session to process only those changes This allows the sever to update the target incrementally. the server stores aggregate data from that session ran in two files. At the end of the session. rather than forcing it to process the entire source and recalculate the same calculations each time you run the session. Each Subsequent time you run the session with incremental aggregation. the index file and data file.Incremental Aggregation Using this. using the aggregate data for that group. the server process the entire source. you apply captured changes in the source to aggregate calculation in a session. the server applies the changes to the existing target. Steps: (1) The first time you run a session with incremental aggregation enabled. use only changes in the source as source data for the session. configure the server to overwrite existing aggregate data with new aggregate data. the session checks the historical information in the index file for a corresponding group. you use only the incremental source changes in the session. The server then performs the following actions: For each input record. .
Use Incremental Aggregator Transformation Only IF: Mapping includes an aggregate function Source changes only incrementally You can capture incremental changes. . You might do this by filtering source data by timestamp.
Using TX. It consists of C++. (b) External Procedure Transformation This is created in Designer and it is an object that resides in the Informatica Repository. Therefore you cannot create External Procedure transformation in designer. you can create an External Procedure Transformation and bind it to an External Procedure that you have developed. VB code written by developer. Difference Between Advanced External Procedure And External Procedure Transformation Advanced External Procedure Transformation The Input and Output functions occur separately The output function is a separate callback function provided by Informatica that can be called from Advanced External Procedure Library. which is loaded by the Informatica Server at runtime. Two types of External Procedures are available COM External Procedure (Only for WIN NT/2000) Informatica External Procedure ( available for WINNT. HPUX etc) Components of TX: (a) External Procedure This exists separately from Informatica Server. Multiple Outputs (Multiple row Input and Multiple rows output) Supports Informatica procedure only Active Transformation . we can develop complex functions with in a dynamic link library or Unix shared library. This serves in many ways o This contains metadata describing External procedure o This allows an External procedure to be references in a mappingby adding an instance of an External Procedure transformation. The code is compiled and linked to a DLL or Shared memory. Solaris. The Output callback function is used to pass all the output port values from the Advanced External Procedure library to the informatica Server. To obtain this kind of extensibility.External Procedure Transformation When Informatica's transformation does not provide the exact functionality we need. we can use Transformation Exchange (TX) dynamic invocation interface built into Power mart/Power Center. All External Procedure Transformations must be defined as reusable transformations. You can create only with in the transformation developer of designer and add instances of the transformation to mapping.

Numerical Simulation of the coupling efficiency for the light emitting from a commercially available ball-lens capped TO-can laser diode into a single-mode fiber (SMF) is reported. The alignment sensitivity of the coupling efficiency for this laser-to-lens-to-fiber optical configuration is investigated in detail. The result is useful for defining the design tolerances and assembly specifications of economic SMF pigtailed To-can laser diode packages. An optical simulation software package is used to compute the laser-to-lens-to-fiber coupling efficiency. By adjusting the nominal system parameters of the given optical configuration, the maximum coupling efficiency calculated from the best fitted simulation result being equal to 17.3% is obtained, which very well agrees with experimental result of ∼16%. However, it is a bit lower than that of previously reported. It is noticed that in the presence of the ball lens, the axial alignment sensitivity on the coupling efficiency is much relieved as compared to the butt-coupling configuration. However, the lateral alignment sensitivity is still very stringent. An experimental measurement is done on this optical system The alignment sensitivities of the coupling efficiency on both directions are obtained. The results are compared with that from the simulation. A very good fit of the data onto simulated curve can be obtained by adjusting some of the critical system parameters.


Speaking out about charities 19-10-06
Published in Real Issues No. 227, 19 October 2006
Charities expressed concern this week that under the Charities Act they could lose their charitable status if they become too vocal. The law has always allowed charities to engage in advocacy, as long as it is secondary to their main charitable purposes. The Charities Act preserves this position, and rightly so. As Green MP, Sue Bradford, points out, "Caring for the victims is essential work. But so is speaking out on their behalf...".
So what has changed, and why are charities concerned? From February 2007, the Act will require charities to register with the Charities Commission to claim certain benefits, such as tax privileges, and charities will face regular monitoring. If a charity does more than an incidental amount of advocacy, the Commission will not register it, or, if it is registered, will remove it from the register. But deciding when a charity passionately advancing a cause crosses the line will be an extremely difficult judgement for the Commission to make. This will mean that charities are likely to think twice before speaking out.
The government is attempting to encourage charitable giving through increased tax privileges announced this week. While this is a praiseworthy initiative, it would also mean that charities would have even more to lose from de-registration.
While de-registration could be more of a fear than a reality, it is likely the fear itself will have a dampening effect, and the public square needs an involved and vocal charitable sector. The Commission must be scrupulous in ensuring that the legitimate advocacy of charities is not at risk. Charities advocate in accord with their purpose, and on all sides of the debate. In doing so, they add immeasurably to the richness of public discourse.

In order to introduce and pass Insurance Fairness for Amputees legislation, we need people with varying levels of advocacy experience to aid our efforts in an upcoming session. We are actively seeking advocates to show support, contact legislators, or lead the effort in Nebraska.
The Nebraska State Legislature has previously introduced Insurance Fairness for Amputees. The most recent introduction took place during the 2009 Legislative Session. Legislative Bill 149 was introduced and referred to the Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee. The measure was scheduled for a hearing, but was not heard. It was indefinitely postponed on April 14th, 2010.
Prior to the introduction LB 149, the Nebraska State Legislature commissioned the Nebraska Insurance Fairness Study to study the medical impacts and cost associated with an earlier version of the legislation. The study concluded that the cost would be marginal for insurers to provide the benefit over and above what they are currently covering. Therefore, the cost will vary by insurer and policy and average about a 0.03% to 0.06% increase for commercial insurance policyholders in Nebraska.
State Government Information
The State Legislature is non-partisan and the Republican Party controls the Office of the Governor.
Nebraska's State Legislature is unicameral and works on a two year cycle. Session runs from January until June in the first year and January until April in the second.
The Office of Governor has an election every four years that coincides with Congressional Mid-Term Elections. The next election will be held in 2022. An individual elected to the Office of the Governor can serve two consecutive terms. The Governor is responsible for signing legislation into law and granting formal proclamations, such as Limb Loss Awareness Month.
The Nebraska Department of Insurance is a state department falling under the executive branch of Nebraska's government. The Governor appoints the Commissioner of Insurance to observe the oversight of the insurance industry. The Department provides information about insurance payment reforms and the ability to file a complaint against an insurance provider.
The Amputee Coalition needs support from the limb loss/difference community. If you are interested in aiding our efforts:

This is a statistical index to the Village Voice Pazz & Jop music critics poll, generated in the process of its tabulation for the last few years.
Click any linked column-heading to sort a table by that column. Click any album or song for an artist profile, or any voter for a voter profile.
Some explanation of the various esoteric metrics:
- Enthusiasm (album): points per vote. On the album poll voters divide 100 points among 10 albums, 5-30 points each.
- Kvltosis: the fraction of an album's points that remain if the album poll is inversely reweighted by voters' centricities (see below).
- Hipness: the fraction of an album's points that remain if the album poll is reweighted by how many singles each voter's ballot listed.
- Metalism (album): the fraction of an album's points that remain if the album poll is reweighted by voters' metalism (see below).
- Monolithity: the fraction of an album's points that remain if you disregard ballots that include a song by the same artist.
- Vitality (album): the fraction of an album's points that came from voters new to the poll that year.
- Singularity: the fraction of a song's votes that remain if you disregard ballots that include an album by the same artist.
- Centricity: how close a voter came to picking to the winning 10 albums.
- Breadth: how close a voter came to picking a different artist for every album/song slot in every voting year.
- Metalism (voter): what fraction of a voter's votes went to metal bands (arbitrarily defined).
- Artist points: sum of their album points plus 2 points per song-vote.
- Enthusiasm (artist): points, as above, per ballot.
Similarity is calculated for albums, songs and artists based on voter overlap, and for ballots and voters based on album+song+artist overlap.
The ballot and voter scores are weighted by album/song/artist popularity.

ClientEncryption.decrypt()
On this page
 - Behavior
 - Example
ClientEncryption.decrypt(encryptedValue)
ClientEncryption.decrypt() decrypts the encryptionValue if the current database connection was configured with access to the Key Management Service (KMS) and key vault used to encrypt encryptionValue.
decrypt() has the following syntax:
clientEncryption = db.getMongo().getClientEncryption()
clientEncryption.decrypt(encryptedValue)
The encryptedValue must be a binary data object with subtype 6 created using client-side field level encryption.
Returns:The decrypted value.
Read operations issued from a database connection configured with access to the correct Key Management Service (KMS) and Key Vault can automatically decrypt field values encrypted using ClientEncryption.encrypt(). Clients only need to use decrypt() to decrypt Binary subtype 6 values not stored within a document field.
The mongosh client-side field level encryption methods require a database connection with client-side field level encryption enabled. If the current database connection was not initiated with client-side field level encryption enabled, either:
The following example uses a locally managed KMS for the client-side field level encryption configuration.
To configure client-side field level encryption for a locally managed key:
 - generate a base64-encoded 96-byte string with no line breaks
 - use mongosh to load the key
export TEST_LOCAL_KEY=$(echo "$(head -c 96 /dev/urandom | base64 | tr -d '\n')")
mongosh --nodb
Create the client-side field level encryption object using the generated local key string:
var autoEncryptionOpts = {
"keyVaultNamespace" : "encryption.__dataKeys",
"kmsProviders" : {
"local" : {
"key" : BinData(0, process.env["TEST_LOCAL_KEY"])
}
}
}
Use the Mongo() constructor with the client-side field level encryption options configured to create a database connection. Replace the mongodb://myMongo.example.net URI with the connection string URI of the target cluster.
encryptedClient = Mongo(
"mongodb://myMongo.example.net:27017/?replSetName=myMongo",
autoEncryptionOpts
)
Retrieve the ClientEncryption object and use the ClientEncryption.decrypt() method to decrypt a value encrypted by ClientEncryption.encrypt().
clientEncryption = encryptedClient.getClientEncryption();
clientEncryption.decrypt(BinData(6,"AmTi2H3xaEk8u9+jlFNaLLkC3Q/+kmwDbbWrq+h9nuv9W+u7A5a0UnpULBNZH+Q21fAztPpU09wpKPrju9dKfpN1Afpj1/ZhFcH6LYZOWSBBOAuUNjPLxMNSYOOuITuuYWo="))
If successful, decrypt() returns the decrypted value:
"123-45-6789"

Notice: We're retiring Works with Nest. See the home page for more information.
How to Handle Redirects
Some programming languages have HTTP implementations that require special handling for redirects.
In response to a REST API request, the Nest API server returns a redirect. The REST client detects the redirect and requests the page that the client was redirected to. Some HTTP implementations do not forward the Authorization header to the redirected URI, and this results in a 401 Unauthorized error.
For example, suppose you ask for foo.com. The foo.com server responds with a redirect to bar.com. Postman or Curl pass the Authorization header to foo and then to bar. Other HTTP implementations, such as Golang's and Python's, do not automatically pass the Authorization header to the redirected URI.
How it works
The following sequence diagram shows what happens when a redirect occurs.
Redirect sequence
For comparison, here's what happens when a redirect does not occur.
No redirect sequence
Example
Generally, it is a good coding practice to anticipate that your language's HTTP implementation might not pass the Authorization header.
Your code should prevent the automatic redirect and make the redirect call after adding the headers back.
For example, in Go, you can do this:
customClient := http.Client {
 CheckRedirect: func(redirRequest *http.Request, via []*http.Request)
 error {
 // Go's http.DefaultClient does not forward headers when a redirect 3xx
 // response is received. Thus, the header (which in this case contains the
 // Authorization token) needs to be passed forward to the redirect
 // destinations.
 redirRequest.Header = req.Header
 // Go's http.DefaultClient allows 10 redirects before returning an
 // an error. We have mimicked this default behavior.s
 if len(via) >= 10 {
 return errors.New("stopped after 10 redirects")
 }
 return nil
 },
}
For more examples, see:
Store the redirected location
It is also a best practice to store the redirected location on a per user basis. In other words, after a user signs in and a redirect is received, store the firebase-apiserver03-tah01-iad01.dapi.production.nest.com:9553/ location and make all subsequent requests directly to this URI.
Storing the redirected location saves time and prevents unnecessary server load.
To learn more about how redirects relate to rate limiting, see Data Rate Limits.
Using curl to test the API
When using curl >= v7.58, you may get 401 Unauthorized errors from calls to the API that involve redirects. As of curl v7.58, custom Authorization headers are not forwarded on to the redirect URL returned by the API.
To account for this on curl >= v7.58, use the --location-trusted flag with any command line calls.

Cardiff Marine Services Completes Porthcawl Marina Dredging
During January 2018, Cardiff Marine Services was contracted to carry out maintenance dredging at Porthcawl Marina over 21 tides.
Throughout the dredging works, conducted by water injection method, an average of 1.3 to 1.5m of silt was removed from the dredged area. The majority of the dredging exercise reduced the levels down to the original bed level.
Water injection dredging uses water pumps connected to a series of nozzles on a horizontal jet bar. The nozzles inject large volumes of water at low pressure directly onto the sediment build up.
This process fluidises the sediment build up, turning it into a density current which is then able to flow horizontally out of the channel or port. This process eliminates the need for traditional excavation dredging methods and the subsequent transportation of the dredged material.

A look back on the history of Ducsu
Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu), also called the second parliament of Bangladesh, played a significant role in the glorious history of several students' movement.
This was especially during the Language Movement and pro-independence movement in the 1970s and the Liberation War of 1971, when students were the vanguards of citizens' voice.
It also played a role in giving birth to future politicians of the nation.
In this video, we portray almost a century long history of Ducsu. Watch the video to know more.

Squares as Intersections
Virtually all squares are intersections, and most have at least four streets leading away from them, some many more. In fact, the more streets that can be brought into a square, the higher the level of foot traffic that can be expected.
In some squares, however, the circulation function takes precedence over the social function, leading to a square that is really more an extensive intersection than a true square. The critical point is the amount of the square that is given over to pedestrians. In the ideal square, it is 100%.
Another important point is the relative width of the incoming streets and the square itself. When, as in some case we will see, the square is no larger than necessary to accommodate broad incoming streets, we are looking at an intersection. In other cases, there may be quite a lot of vehicular traffic arriving via narrow streets; in these cases, there may still be a real square, despite its function as an intersection.

A long summer came to an end with temperatures decreasing and occasional rainfall this week but water levels in dams supplying Istanbul are still very low. Indeed, the latest figures show the dams have an average occupation rate of 52%, the lowest in the past eight months. Ömerli dam had the highest rate at 81.46%, while the rate in Pabuçdere dam dropped as low as 2.85%.
Decreasing water levels are a source of concern for Turkey's most populated city, which faces a future water shortage. The data shows water levels in ten dams supplying water to the city dropped by 28.44% in the past five months.
On Aug. 4, the city's water utility agency announced that over 3.4 million cubic meters of water had been supplied to Istanbul, the highest in its history. The record that came amid soaring temperatures that reached 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) was at a time when water levels were above the average 66%. Recent figures from the State Hydraulic Works (DSİ) indicate that the city has enough drinking water to last seven months, even without rain.
The threat of drought loomed large in big cities, where water levels diminished last year. The government readied an action plan when faced with the prospect of imminent drought and aims to introduce measures to promote more efficient use of water and decrease the amount of water being used from underground dams. The city's water supply can vary due to high temperatures. Last year, the average water supply to the city stood at over 2.9 million cubic meters.

John Weiss (28 June 1818 - 9 March 1879) was an American author and clergyman, as well as a noted abolitionist.
Weiss was born in Boston. His father, a German Jew, was a barber in Worcester. He graduated at Harvard in 1837 and at the Harvard Divinity School in 1843, studying abroad in between. He then preached at Watertown, but withdrew on account of his anti-slavery opinions. He was pastor at New Bedford, Massachusetts, for a short time, resigning on account of the failure of his health. After several years of study and travel he resumed his pastorate in the Unitarian church at Watertown in 1859, remaining there until 1870.
On the issue of slavery, the Reverend John Weiss was an outspoken abolitionist. He was an advocate of woman's rights, a rationalist in religion, and a disciple of the transcendental philosophy. He delivered courses of lectures on "Greek Religious Ideas," "Humor in Shakespeare," and "Shakespeare's Women." Of his lectures on Greek religious ideas, Octavius B. Frothingham said: "They were the keenest interpretation of the ancient myths, the most profound, luminous, and sympathetic, I have met with."
He is the author of many reviews, sermons, and magazine articles on literary, biographical, social, and political questions. He also wrote:
- Life and Correspondence of Theodore Parker (2 vols., New York, 1864)
- American Religion (1871)
He edited and translated:

OptM
Estimating the optimal number of migration edges from Treemix
Description
This package uses results from the population software 'Treemix' by Pickrell and Pritchard (2012) DOI:10.1371/journal.pgen._PHONE_ to estimate the optimal number of migrations edges to add to the tree. Previously, it was customary to stop adding migration edges when 99.8% of variation in the data was explained, but optM automates this process using an ad hoc statistic based on the second order rate of change in the log likelihood. OptM has added functionality for various threshold modeling to compare with the ad hoc statistic. The various methods are:
Install OptM (from an R console)
Preparing the input files
To run OptM, you will need a folder of output files produced by Treemix v1.13. The function optM will automatically search the folder for the stem.llik, stem.modelcov.gz, and stem.cov.gz files; where "stem" is that provided to the -o parameter of treemix. It is recommended, but not required, to use stem in the format stem.i.M; where
In order for optM to function properly, you must run:
NOTE: There will be an error check to see if there is variation across iterations for each M. In other words, if the data are very robust, you may get the same likelihood across all runs, thus the standard deviation across runs is zero and the ad hoc statistic is undefined. In this case, try making larger variations in the dataset (subsetting the SNPs, varying -k in treemix, or other method of permutation/bootstrap).
Below is an example run of treemix from a UNIX terminal for M={1-10} and 5 iterations per M:
for m in {1..10}
 do
 for i in {1..5}
 do
 treemix \
 -i test.treemix.gz \
 -o test.${i}.${m} \

text: Long-tail latency is inevitable and may be amplified for highly modular datacenter applications such as Bing, Facebook, and Amazon's retail platform, due to resource sharing, queuing, background maintenance activities, etc. Thus how to tolerate the latency variability in shared environments is crucial in datacenters. This paper proposes a distributed deadline propagation (D\+2P) approach for datacenter applications to reduce long-tail latency. The key idea of D\+2P is inspired by the traffic light system in Manhattan, New York City, where one can enjoy a chain of green lights after one stop at a red light, and it allows local nodes to perceive global deadline information and to propagate the information among distributed nodes. Local nodes can leverage the information to do scheduling and adjust processing speed to reduce long-tail latency. Then, we propose stage-service model and parallel-unit model to describe sequential/dependent pattern and partition/aggregate pattern, and implement a distributed deadline propagation framework. At last, based on distributed deadline propagation framework, we use D\+2P-enabled deadline-aware scheduling algorithm to reduce long-tail latency in our experiments, and the preliminary experimental results show that D\+2P has the potential of reducing the long-tail latency in datacenters by local nodes leveraging the propagated deadline information.


How do you cook bbq ribs
How long does it take to cook ribs on the BBQ?
Is it better to cook ribs in the oven or grill?
While BBQ gives ribs a distinct flavor, baking has other benefits to it. Baking gives you more control over how fast and how much the ribs are cooked. Because ovens have controlled temperature you are less likely to overcook or under cook your ribs.
How do you make BBQ ribs?
The best way to pre-cook sideribs Preheat oven to 325F. Remove membrane off ribs. If using a dry rub, rub spice mixture on both sides of ribs. Arrange ribs, meaty-side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Preheat grill to medium.
What temperature do you cook BBQ ribs?
Why do ribs take so long to cook?
Ribs generally cook for several hours because they store a lot of fat and collagen in the meat. But they also cook at vastly reduced temperatures. Like 200–250 degrees, which give the meat time to break down and redistribute all that delicious fat and flavor.

How do you know when ribs are done?
Should I wrap ribs in foil when grilling?
It also adds moisture and speeds up cooking time. Wrapping should be done about half way through the cooking process or when internal meat temp is 150-160 degrees. Use two layers of heavy duty foil to wrap the meat. We recommend the following process for wrapping ribs, pork shoulder and brisket.
Do ribs get more tender the longer they cook?
When you grill ribs, they won't fall off the bone. They will, however, come off the bone cleanly when you eat them. The longer you cook them, the more tender they will be.

 7. Use the gcloud run deploy run-function command to deploy the Cloud Run container:
 gcloud run deploy run-function
 --image gcr.io/PROJECT_ID/restricted-function-caller
 --no-allow-unauthenticated
 --update-env-vars=URL=https://SERVICE_REGION-PROJECT_ID.cloudfunctions.net/restricted-function-caller
 --vpc-egress=all
 --vpc-connector=serverless-connector
 --region=SERVICE_REGION
 where:
 - PROJECT_ID is the project ID.
 - SERVICE_REGION is a region for your connector; this must match the region of your serverless service. If your service is in the region us-central or europe-west, use us-central1 or europe-west1.
 The Cloud Run run-function service is now set to send a GET request via the VPC connector to the network-restricted function.
Routing function egress through your VPC network
VPC networks in Google Cloud support a rich set of configurations and networking features. By routing egress traffic from your function into your VPC network, you can ensure that Cloud Functions egress traffic follows your VPC network's firewall, DNS, routing, and other rules, and you can use products such as Cloud NAT.
 1. Set up a VPC network. Configure an existing VPC network or create a new one by following the guide at Using VPC networks.
 2. Set up a Serverless VPC Access connector. Cloud Functions need a Serverless VPC Access connector to route traffic into your VPC network. Create a connector and set up the appropriate permissions by following the instructions at Connecting to a VPC network.
 3. Deploy a function that uses the connector and route all egress through. the connector.** Use the Google Cloud console or the gcloud command-line tool:
 Console
 1. Open the Functions Overview page in the Google Cloud console:
 Go to the Cloud Functions Overview page
 2. Click Create function. Alternatively, click an existing function to go to its details page, and click Edit.
 3. Expand the advanced settings by clicking Environment variables, networking, timeouts and more.
 4. In the Connections section, under Egress settings, select your Serverless VPC Access connector and select Route all traffic through the VPC connector.
 gcloud
 Use the gcloud functions deploy command:
 gcloud functions deploy FUNCTION_NAME \
 --vpc-connector CONNECTOR_NAME \
 --egress-settings all \
 FLAGS...

After you deploy your function, all traffic originating from your function is routed through your VPC network and adheres to the rules set on your VPC network. Note that your function is unable to access the public internet unless you configure Cloud NAT. Further note that you need your Cloud NAT to map all primary and secondary IP ranges for all subnets to the NAT gateway, in order to include the connector's subnet in the mapping.
Associating function egress with a static IP address
In some cases, you might want traffic originating from your function to be associated with a static IP address. For example, this is useful if you are calling an external service that only allows requests from explicitly specified IP addresses.
 1. Route your function's egress through your VPC network. See the previous section, Routing function egress through your VPC network.
 2. Set up Cloud NAT and specify a static IP address. Follow the guides at Specify subnet ranges for NAT and Specify IP addresses for NAT to set up Cloud NAT for the subnet associated with your function's Serverless VPC Access connector. As stated above, you need your Cloud NAT to map all primary and secondary IP ranges for all subnets to the NAT gateway, in order to include the connector's subnet in the mapping.
Multi-region load balancing
You can deploy a function to different regions, and allow the request to be be sent to the closest healthy region. To achieve this, you need to set up a serverless network endpoint group (NEG) for the function and connect it to a load balancer, as described in Setting up an HTTP(S) load balancer with serverless NEGs.

Testing Medicinal Plants at Dilston Physic Garden
Would you like to volunteer for Medicinal Plant Trials?
We are investigating if plants have the effects indicated by traditional use and focus on plants for the mind, since so much of well-being depends an optimal state of mind. Rather than major multicentre trials involving objective measures, we plan to conduct small (but statistically valid) trials involving self-assessment i.e. using, as an outcome, individual subjective experience.
Such studies would involve volunteers of all ages (over 18) with normal mental health, taking a safe herbal preparation, once or twice a day for a week or two, and completing a self assessment form before and at the end of the trial period. According to best clinical practice, volunteers would be randomly divided into 2 groups, one taking the active agent and the other an inactive (placebo-like) with no one knowing which they are on ('blind'). The results would be published in a peer reviewed scientific journal.
We would be most grateful if you would kindly complete this online questionnaire to help us design a useful and meaningful study:

Discovering Amsterdam's Oldest Bridge: A Look at Torensluis
Torensluis is not just a bridge; it's a piece of Amsterdam's history. As the oldest bridge in the city, it has seen centuries of change and development. From its unique design to its cultural and historical significance, there is much to explore and discover about Torensluis.
The Torensluis is a historic bridge over Amsterdam's Singel Canal that has stood the test of time. It is the oldest original stone bridge in Amsterdam and the widest of its kind.
Bridge number 9 (Brug Negen) Torensluis is an arch bridge over the Singel in the centre of Amsterdam near Dam Square and at 42 meters it is one of the widest in the city. The reason for this is that previously there was a tower on the bridge, the Jan Roodenpoortstoren.
Another reason it is quite wide is that originally in 1648 during the design of the bridge the plan was to build shophouses on the wide bridge similar to the Rialto Bridge in Venice and bridges across the Thames in London. It is not clear if this plan ever came to fruition though it seems unlikely as except for a couple of houses there is no documentary evidence for this.

Bounded mean oscillation
In harmonic analysis, a function of bounded mean oscillation, also known as a BMO function, is a real-valued function whose mean oscillation is bounded (finite). The space of functions of bounded mean oscillation (BMO), is a function space that, in some precise sense, plays the same role in the theory of Hardy spaces Hp that the space L∞ of essentially bounded functions plays in the theory of Lp-spaces: it is also called John–Nirenberg space, after Fritz John and Louis Nirenberg who introduced and studied it for the first time.

According to Nirenberg (1985, p. 703 and p. 707), the space of functions of bounded mean oscillation was introduced by John (1961, pp. 410–411) in connection with his studies of mappings from a bounded set Ω belonging to ℝn into ℝn and the corresponding problems arising from elasticity theory, precisely from the concept of elastic strain: the basic notation was introduced in a closely following paper by John & Nirenberg (1961), where several properties of this function spaces were proved. The next important step in the development of the theory was the proof by Charles Fefferman of the duality between BMO and the Hardy space H1, in the noted paper Fefferman & Stein 1972: a constructive proof of this result, introducing new methods and starting a further development of the theory, was given by Akihito Uchiyama.
- |Q| is the volume of Q, i.e. its Lebesgue measure
- uQ is the average value of u on the cube Q, i.e.
Note. The use of cubes Q in ℝn as the integration domains on which the mean oscillation is calculated, is not mandatory: Wiegerinck (2001) uses balls instead and, as remarked by Stein (1993, p. 140), in doing so a perfectly equivalent of definition of functions of bounded mean oscillation arises.
BMO functions are locally p–integrable
BMO functions are locally Lp if 0 < p < ∞, but need not be locally bounded.
BMO is a Banach space
The supremum of the mean oscillation is called the BMO norm of u and is denoted by ||u||BMO (and in some instances it is also denoted ||u||*). The function ||u||BMO becomes a norm on BMO functions after quotienting out by the constant functions (which have BMO norm 0).
Averages of adjacent cubes are comparable
As the name suggests, the mean or average of a function in BMO shouldn't oscillate very much when computing it over cubes close to each other in position and scale. To be more precise, if Q and R are dyadic cubes such that their boundaries touch and the sidelength of Q is no less than one-half the sidelength of R, then
where C>0 is some universal constant. This property is, in fact, equivalent to f being in BMO, that is, if f is a locally integrable function such that |fR-fQ|≤C for all dyadic cubes Q and R adjacent in the sense described above, then f is in BMO and its BMO norm is proportional to the constant C.
The John–Nirenberg Inequality
The John–Nirenberg Inequality is an estimate that governs how far a function of bounded mean oscillation may deviate from its average by a certain amount.
There are constants c1,c2 > 0 such that whenever f ∈ BMO(ℝn), then for any cube Q in ℝn,
Conversely, if this inequality holds over all cubes with some constant C in place of ||f||BMO, then f is in BMO with norm at most a constant times C.
A consequence: the distance in BMO to L∞
The John-Nirenberg inequality can actually give more information than just the BMO norm of a function. For a locally integrable function f, let A(f) be the infimal A>0 for which
The John–Nirenberg inequality implies that A(f)≤C||f||BMO for some universal constant C. For an L∞ function, however, the above inequality will hold for all A>0. In other words, A(f)=0 if f is in L∞. Hence the constant A(f) gives us a way of measuring how far a function in BMO is from the subspace L∞. This statement can be made more precise: there is a constant C, depending only on the dimension n, such that for any function f ∈ BMO(ℝn) the following two-sided inequality holds
Generalizations and extensions
The spaces BMOH and BMOA
When the dimension of the ambient space is 1, the space BMO can be seen as a subspace of harmonic functions on the unit disk and plays a major role in the theory of Hardy spaces: by using definition 2, it is possible to define the BMO(T) space on the unit circle as the space of functions such that
unit disk is said to belong to the Harmonic BMO or in the BMOH space if and only if it is the Poisson integral of a BMO(T) function. Therefore BMOH is the space of all functions u with the form:An Analytic function on the
equipped with the norm:
The subspace of analytic functions belonging BMOH is called the Analytic BMO space or the BMOA space.
BMOA as the dual space of H1(D)
Charles Fefferman in his original paper proved that the real BMO space is dual to the real valued harmonic Hardy space on the upper half-space ℝn×. Today in the theory of Complex and Harmonic analysis the following - modern - approach for analytic functions, is more often considered. Let Hp(D) be the Analytic Hardy space on the unit Disc. For p = 1 we identify (H1)* with BMOA by pairing f ∈H1(D) and g ∈ BMOA using the anti-linear transformation Tg
Notice that although the limit always exists for an H1 function f and Tg is an element of the dual space (H1)*, since the transformation is anti-linear, we don't have an isometric isomorphism between (H1)* and BMOA. However one can obtain an isometry if they consider a kind of space of conjugate BMOA functions.
The space VMO
The space VMO of functions of vanishing mean oscillation is the closure in BMO of the continuous functions that vanish at infinity. It can also be defined as the space of functions whose "mean oscillations" on cubes Q are not only bounded, but also tend to zero uniformly as the radius of the cube Q tends to 0 or infinity. The space VMO is a sort of Hardy space analogue of the space of continuous functions vanishing at infinity, and in particular the real valued harmonic Hardy space H1 is the dual of VMO.
The Dyadic BMO space
Let Δ denote the set of dyadic cubes in ℝn. The space dyadic BMO, written BMOd is the space of functions satisfying the same inequality as for BMO functions, only that the supremum is over all dyadic cubes. This supremum is sometimes denoted ||•||BMOd.
This space is contained in but still distinct from BMO as it depends greatly on the position of the dyadic cubes. In particular, the function log(x)χ[0,∞) is a function that is in dyadic BMO but not in BMO. However, if a function f is such that ||f(•-x)||BMOd≤C for all x in ℝn for some C>0, then by the one-third trick f is also in BMO.
Although dyadic BMO is a much narrower class than BMO, many theorems that are true for BMO are much simpler to prove for dyadic BMO, and in some cases one can recover the original BMO theorems by proving them first in the special dyadic case.
Examples of BMO functions include the following:
- All bounded (measurable) functions. If f is in L∞, then ||f||BMO≤2||f||∞: however, the converse is not true as the following example shows.
- The function log(|P|) for any polynomial P that is not identically zero: in particular, this is true also for |P(x)|=|x|.
- If w is an A∞ weight, then log(w) is BMO. Conversely, if f is BMO, then eδf is an A∞ weight for δ>0 small enough: this fact is a consequence of the John-Nirenberg Inequality.
- ^ Aside with the collected papers of Fritz John, a general reference for the theory of functions of bounded mean oscillation, with also many (short) historical notes, is the noted book by Stein (1993, chapter IV).

I was wondering how to create a vocab list with glosses from LXT. I tried using the word list manager for all the LXT words in Jonah, but couldn't figure out how to print out a list with glosses. I figured I could always use the report generator, but that's more information than I'd like.:D
01-29-2006, 11:49 AM
Hi Jake,
While you cannot create the lexicon from the LXT, you can from the BLM as it requires a morphologically tagged text.
Here are the steps:
1. Open the word list manager.
2. Select load or generate word list.
3. Select BLM and in the verse range type in Jonah.
4. This will generate the list back in the word list manager. Go to the menu/select/select all.
5. Go to file/make lexicon from selected words
6. Select the lexicons you want included.
7. You now have the file to save or print.

COVID-19 Response: For Nonprofits
An update to our nonprofit partners on our response to COVID-19:
Updated January 19, 2021
The Hartford Foundation's COVID-19 Response Fund has made more than 230 grants, distributing more than $9.6 million, since the start of the pandemic. The fund initially focused on basic human needs as a result of health and economic impacts of the pandemic, and then transitioned to supporting a wide variety of nonprofits to provide services safely, including personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning costs, technology and minor building enhancements.
Throughout 2021, the COVID-19 Response Fund will make investments on a rolling basis. Examples of potential grant areas include:
- Vaccine education, outreach and distribution to reach residents who may be hesitant to get vaccinated.
- Systemic approaches to help students catch up on lost learning with a focus on reducing inequities.
Our grantmaking through the COVID-19 Response Fund will be focused on collaborative and systemic efforts. Check this page periodically for updates as the work progresses. We welcome your feedback and ideas at any point; we know it is paramount to remain flexible and responsive to the changing needs of the community.
In considering grants, the Foundation will take into account the following criteria:
- Priority level of the disparity addressed and target population expected to benefit.
- Strength of collaboration and coordination with existing nonprofit, state and local pandemic responses.
- Ability of the proposed strategy to leverage other resources.
- Cultural competency and agency governance diversity (board and staff leadership) that is representative of beneficiaries of the proposed efforts.
- Level of impact on residents of the Greater Hartford region.
The Foundation is proactively working with public entities, nonprofits and other stakeholders to make targeted investments addressing the disparities created or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This work is also taking place within our outcome areas.
Thank you for all of the incredible work your organization has contributed to this year.
