Frost wolf
Frost wolves are a species of wolves found on both Azeroth[1] and Outland.[2]
Warlords of DraenorEdit
Only the hardiest can survive the unforgiving climate of Frostfire Ridge. Numbering among the natives are the sturdy frostwolves. The Frostwolf orc clan has taken these beasts as their symbol and namesake, and the orcs and their wolf companions fight and hunt together as an extended pack family.
Explorers in Frostfire Ridge should be wary of the frostwolf's undomesticated cousin, the dangerous garn. These enormous beasts, twice the mass of an Azerothian bear, are identified by their massive jaws and jet-black fur. Even the Frostwolf orcs fear the unruly and wild garn.

A University of Birmingham scientist is set to join weather experts from across the country to help the local community learn more about weather and the climate with hands-on activities and demonstrations at a week-long roadshow coming to the city this half-term.
Organised by the Big Lottery funded Open Air Laboratories (OPAL) project, the OPAL Weather Roadshow is taking place between Wednesday 1 June and Sunday 5 June at Canon Hill Park and will feature an exciting range of activities providing all ages with the chance to investigate their local weather.
One of the highlights will be the opportunity to become a weather presenter for the day using the latest green-screen technology where University of Birmingham geographer, and OPAL Community Scientist, Dr Adam Bates, will be on hand to discuss climate forecasts for the local area.
Dr Bates, from the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences said:
"Changes to our climate strongly impact both people and wildlife; whether through small changes in long-term amounts of rainfall and temperature, or extreme events like large floods and tornadoes, the weather affects us all.
"The OPAL Weather Roadshow gives people the opportunity to find out more about how changes to their local climate might affect them, and to gain first-hand experience of how weather is measured, predicted and reported. It will also be really fun."
Other activities taking place during the roadshow include the chance to create a tornado, although this will be on a much smaller scale than the 2005 Birmingham tornado which caused £40million worth of damage. Infra-red temperature guns will allow people to measure the temperature of clouds in the sky and a lightning ball will provide a glimpse of lightning up close.
As well as hands-on activities, a professional weather station will display measurements of temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation. Weather experts from the Royal Meteorological Society and Imperial College, London will be on hand to explain their significance, enabling people to learn more about weather and climate in an interactive way.
The OPAL Weather Roadshow will be held at Canon Hill Park, Birmingham between Tuesday 31 May and Sunday 5 June and is free and open to everyone. For more information see _URL_ Further information about the OPAL project can be found at: _URL_.
For further information, please contact Amy Cory, University of Birmingham Press Office via 0121 _PHONE_ or _EMAIL_.

Toba Batak Silver Ring
Bold and intimidating, the awe-inspiring face on this ring represents a mystical creature called Singa. It is found throughout Asia from Austronesia as far as Mesopotamia and Hindustan. In the culture of the Austronesian Batak, images of the Singa are often carved into jewellery, amulets, stone or wooden chests, and traditional Batak houses.
Our two rings differ slightly between each other, the first five pictures below correspond to ring size 14, the others to ring size 22.

Abstract: This paper studies both theoretically and empirically the impact of using trade as a peace instrument to avoid an anticipated interstate conflict between countries disputing a historical territory. The impact of trade is examined through the role of organized interest groups in influencing their governments' foreign policies. A game theoretical model is used to observe the dynamics at the domestic and international level of negotiating a peace agreement that can be accompanied with a trade agreement. Using backward induction, I find that the probability of conflict depends on the contribution schedules offered by organized interest groups, weighted aggregate welfare, and military cost. Using the linear probability model with fixed effects, I test the model empirically. The main result is that the probability of an interstate conflict is lower when the government adopts trade liberalization policies in export-oriented industries while protecting import-competing industries. This indicates that organized interest groups are key when it comes to using trade to dampen conflicts.

Comparative Levels of Water and Air Pollutants in Kigali City and Kitabi and Benefits of Cleaner Energy-Biodiesel in Rwanda
To compare both levels of water and air pollutants in Kigali city and Kitabi and benefits/disadvantages of the fuel types (gasoline, diesel and biodiesel) that are used in Rwanda, a parallel study on water and air pollution was conducted in Kigali city and Kitabi-Nyamagabe District during the January-July 2013 period. All vehicles entering Kigali City via Giticyinyoni, Nyacyonga, Gahanga and Rugende axes and the total number of motor vehicles in Rwanda were recorded. Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and opacity are the main emissions parameters measured at the Rwanda National Police Motor-vehicle Inspection Centre. The air quality parameters measured include HCl, NO2, NO3, SO2, H2S, TVOC, O3, CO and CO2 while quality of rain water harvested from the study sites was determined by measuring pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity, biochemical oxygen demand, organic matter, sulfates, aluminum, copper, iron, manganese, cadmium, chromium, lead, sodium, and oils and grease. Kigali capital city suffers tremendous pressure of increasing population accompanied with the rapid increase in the number of vehicles which emit 526327.1 tons of CO2 year-1, 18405.5 tons of CO year-1 and 354967.0 m3 of unburned hydrocarbons year-1. Using 100% biodiesel reduced emission of CO by 50% and opacity by 76.9%, while using a 50% biodiesel blend or biodiesel-diesel mixture (B50) reduced CO by 35.2% and opacity which is strongly correlated with properties of particulate air pollutants by 71%. In Kitabi area, HCl, N02, TVOC, 03, CO2, NO3, SO2 and CO were reduced by 76.6%, 54.6%, 74.8%, 72.7%, 100%, 100% and 100% as compared with Kigali city respectively. Levels of acidic air pollutants (SO2 and NO2) are negatively correlated with rain water acidity (pH) levels (SO2: r = 0.787; NO2: r = 0.734) implying, therefore, that atmospheric deposition of strong acids or acidic pollutants lowers the water pH levels or increase water acidity. Reductions in atmospheric deposition of strong acids and other toxic pollutants may result in some improvements in the acid-base status of some water bodies which can lead to increased growth conditions for various organisms. The use of cleaner energies (i.e. biodiesel) therefore, may be a practical option of controlling emissions or managing air pollution causes. More detailed studies, however, are needed to determine the contribution (quantitative and qualitative) of each source of pollutants to both air and water pollution in Rwanda and identify other key emission control measures to be undertaken. Also efficiency of photosynthetic process of trees that are commonly planted in Kigali city needs urgent investigation.

Incidence and location of positive nonsentinel lymph nodes in head and neck melanoma
Eur J Surg Oncol
BACKGROUND: The complex lymphatic drainage in the head and neck makes sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for melanomas in this region challenging. This study describes the incidence, and location of additional positive nonsentinel lymph nodes (NSLN) in patients with cutaneous head and neck melanoma following a positive SLNB. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed using a single institution prospective database. Patients with a primary melanoma in the head or neck with a positive cervical SLNB were identified. The lymphadenectomy specimen was divided intraoperatively into lymph node levels I-V, and NSLN status determined for each level. RESULTS: Of 387 patients with melanoma of the head and neck who underwent cervical SLNB, 54 had a positive SLN identified (14%). Thirty six patients (67%) underwent immediate completion lymph node dissection (CLND) of whom eight patients (22%) had a positive NSLN. The remaining 18 patients (33%) did not undergo CLND and were observed. Half of positive NSLNs (50%) were in the same lymph node level as the SLN and 33% were in an immediately adjacent level; only two patients were found to have NSLNs in non-adjacent levels. The only factor predictive of NSLN involvement was the size of the tumor deposit in the SLN>0.2 mm (p = 0.05). Superficial parotidectomy at CLND revealed metastatic melanoma only in patients with a positive parotid SLN. CONCLUSIONS: A positive NLSN was identified in 22% of patients undergoing CLND after a positive SLNB. The majority of positive NSLNs are found within or immediately adjacent to the nodal level containing the SLN.

What Did Ancient Egyptians Really Eat?
(ISNS) — Did the ancient Egyptians eat like us? If you're a vegetarian, tucking in along the Nile thousands of years ago would have felt just like home.
In fact, eating lots of meat is a recent phenomenon. In ancient cultures vegetarianism was much more common, except in nomadic populations. Most sedentary populations ate fruit and vegetables.
Although previous sources found the ancient Egyptians to be pretty much vegetarians, until this new research it wasn't possible to find out the relative amounts of the different foods they ate. Was their daily bread really daily? Did they binge on eggplants and garlic? Why didn't someone spear a fish?
A French research team figured out that by looking at the carbon atoms in mummies that had lived in Egypt between 3500 B.C. and 600 A.D. you could find out what they ate.
All carbon atoms are…

RC Input and Output
RC Input
RC Input is a key part of any autopilot that gives the pilot control of the airframe allows them to change modes and also gives them control of auxiliary equipment.
Edge supports both S.Bus and PPM input, which combines information about all PWM channels from the receiver in one sequence, which could be transferred over single wire. Channel values sent by remote controller will be decoded and then used for servo control.
You need to calibrate radio before using it.
By default the RC input channels are:
 - Channel 1: Roll input
 - Channel 2: Pitch input
 - Channel 3: Throttle input
 - Channel 4: Yaw input
 - Channel 5: Flight mode
 - Channel 6: (Optional) Tuning
These can be changed by setting the RCMAP_ROLL, RCMAP_PITCH, RCMAP_THROTTLE and RCMAP_YAW parameters. After changing any of these parameters the flight controller should be rebooted.
To set modes of channels 7..12 select Vehicle Setup and then Flight Modes tab.
RC Output
RC Output is how ArduPilot controls servos and motors.
Edge has 12 available output channels.
To change channel configuration you can use SERVOx_ parameters. The "x" in this case is the channel number.
We do ask to NOT SET AUXILIARY FUNCTION SWITCHES TO RC7,8 USING HEX FRAME!
You can use Motors Test to check motor connection. In Vehicle Setup menu choose Motors.
Attention
Make sure the propellers are removed before using this. It can be dangerous.
Relay Switch
A "Relay" is a digital output pin that can be either 0V or 3.3V. Similar to a servo it allows the flight controller to invoke some action from another device on the vehicle. You can use it to control things like camera shutter, bottle drop etc.
Note
This feature available only on ArduCopter.
First you need to specify RELAY_PIN parameter in QGC Parameters:
Attention
Don't set digital pin to PWM channel used for control servos!
Next, configure pilot control of the relay. Choose previously selected Relay for one of the free channels in Flight Modes:
After that you can switch state of Relay Pin using your RC transmitter.

Value thresholds[edit]
Value thresholds, while not as important as the exact value of a skill, are taken into account in various events to determine the chances for a good or bad outcome. Skills are decided by education traits and can be affected by other trait types.
Values Description
0–4 Terrible
5–8 Poor
9–12 Average
13–16 Good
17-68 Excellent
69 Nice
70+ Excellent
Dread is a measure of how feared a ruler is by their vassals. Enough dread compared to another character's boldness can make characters either intimidated or terrified, allowing most diplomatic actions to succeed despite negative opinion.
Dread is gained by various actions that inspire fear, such as torturing or executing prisoners. However, it is also possible to lose dread through actions showing compassion or weakness, including releasing prisoners and accepting faction demands. Each character additionally has natural dread which is the value towards which dread will drift over time (either up or down), at a base rate of 0.5 per month. The lifestyle perk Forever Infamous prevents dread from decaying.
Each character has a hidden boldness attribute, which is decided by its traits. A character becomes intimidated by characters whose dread is 20 above their own boldness and terrified by characters whose dread is 45 above their own boldness.
Intimidation and terror[edit]
Intimidated characters are less likely to join factions or schemes against the character they're intimidated by, while a terrified character will never join factions or schemes against them. In addition, it affects their acceptance for various character interactions:
Interaction Intimidated.png Intimidated acceptance Terrified.png Terrified acceptance
Arrange marriage +75 +150
Blackmail +50 +100
Negotiate alliance +50 +100
Offer guardianship +50 +100

Imprison +25 +50
Retract vassal +25 +50
Revoke title +25 +50
Demand conversion +10 +20
Offer vassalage +10 +20

Health is a measure of how likely a character is to die. Male characters are born with health between (and including) 4.5 and 4.9; female characters are born with health between (and including) 5.0 and 5.4.[3] Once a character reaches the age of 25, they have a 7.5% chance to lose −0.125 health each year. The chance increases by 2.2% each year.
Health Can die Description Interval
Health negative.png Dying Yes You are at Death's doorstep health < 0
Health negative.png Near Death Yes You are not long for this world... 0 ≤ health < 1
Health.png Poor Yes You are ailing 1 ≤ health < 3
Health.png Fine No You are feeling fine 3 ≤ health < 5
Health positive.png Good No Your humors are balanced 5 ≤ health < 7
Health positive.png Excellent No You are full of vim and vigor! health ≥ 7
Some traits, tenets and modifiers provide bonuses Disease resistance (health). This means that any health penalties applied to the character are negated by the amount of disease resistance the character has. Note that there is also disease resistance for fertility.
Health boosts and penalties[edit]
Health effects have different names depending on the value:[4]
Displayed as Range of values
Catastrophic Health Penalty value < −4
Critical Health Penalty −4 ≤ value < −3
Severe Health Penalty −3 ≤ value < −1
Major Health Penalty −1 ≤ value < −0.75
Moderate Health Penalty −0.75 ≤ value < −0.5
Minor Health Penalty −0.5 ≤ value < −0.25
Tiny Health Penalty −0.25 ≤ value < 0
Small Health Boost 0 < value < +0.25
Medium Health Boost +0.25 ≤ value < +0.5
Significant Health Boost +0.5 ≤ value < +0.75
Huge Health Boost +0.75 ≤ value < +1
Massive Health Boost +1 ≤ value < +2
Godlike Health Boost +2 ≤ value
Death is the end of a character's life. For landed characters, it triggers succession for any held titles. There can be multiple causes:
 - When health is either poor, near death or dying, there is a chance at a given interval to die. The lower a character's health, the bigger this chance is.
 - Secret murder.png Upon success of a murder scheme, the targetted character dies.
 - The Attempt Suicide decision has a chance for the character to die.
 - Knights may die in battle or in duels, with this chance increasing with low prowess and other factors.
 - Characters may die when the holding they are currently residing in is captured in a siege.
 - Imprisoned characters may be executed by their jailors.
 - Various events may cause death.
See also: Breeding
Fertility represents a character's chance to have or cause pregnancy. Married couples and heterosexual lovers have a monthly chance to get the woman pregnant based on the average fertility of the two partners.
A character's base fertility is determined by their age:
Gender Age
16–25 26–30 31–35 36–40 41–45 46–50 51–60 61–70 70+
Male 100% 100% 100% 90% 80% 80% 70% 60% 50%

Hawaiian language online
About Hawaiian diacritical marks
The Hawaiian language uses two diacritical markings. The okina is a glottal stop, similar to the sound between the syllables of "oh-oh." In print, the correct mark for designating an okina is the single open quote mark. The kahako is a macron, which lengthens and adds stress to the marked vowel. For example 'pau,' depending on placement of okina and kahako, can mean completed, smudge, moist or skirt.
The State of Hawaii and University of Hawaii strongly encourage use of Hawaiian diacritical markings. (See UH Style Guide.) Technology, however, is still catching up.
Choose the level of Hawaiian font display
Depending on your browser, operating system and installed fonts, you may be able to display Hawaiian diacritical marks. If not, they will generally appear as boxes or question marks. In that case, you can choose either to use a foot mark (') as an approximation of the okina or display text without diacritical marks.
Your setting selection will be maintained for this browser and this session only.
- Display no diacritical markings
- Use the footmark () for the okina, but do not display macrons
- Show all diacritical markings
Click on the links above and watch the demo text below change. If you see boxes instead of diacritical marks, you do not have the fonts installed and should turn off the diacritical option for your session.
Hawaiian language demo
The University of Hawaii System consists of 10 campuses, 7 community colleges and 3 university level campuses. The Manoa campus, on the island of Oahu, is the flagship campus with more than 18,000 students enrolled.

How to Monkey Patch when using Flex RSLs
Monkey patchers run into problems when using Flex RSLs. In this post I'll explain why monkey patching does not work when using RSLs and provide details of how to make it work. I'll monkey patch the mx.controls.Button class in this post and ListCollectionView and Spark Button in later posts.
Why doesn't monkey patching work when using RSLs? To answer this question it is important to understand two things:
 1. The Flash Player has a first-in-wins rule when loading classes.
 2. Flex applications contain two frames. The first frame contains few classes and loads the RSLs. The second frame contains the rest of the application's classes.
Say you've monkey patched mx.controls.Button, which will end up in frame 2 of your application. In frame 1 of the application, the framework RSL will be loaded which contains the mx.controls.Button class. When frame 2 of the application loads the monkey patched version of mx.controls.Button is ignored because of the Flash Player first-in-wins rule.
When you monkey patch a class that is in frame 1, then you are done, you don't need an RSL.
The basic steps I'll use to monkey patch are:
 1. Create an RSL with just the monkey-patched file and its inheritance dependencies.
 2. Add your RSL to the configuration to get it loaded.
To demonstrate the process I created a project with a simple application that contains one button.
The project was developed using a pre-release version of Flex4, build
Create an RSL
My modification of Button is just a change to set label() so I can see if a Button in my application is a real or patched Button. When the Button's label setter is called I just prepend "Monkey patched " to the original value.
_label = "Monkey patched " + value;
I started by adding to my source tree using the same package as Flex, "mx.controls". Next compile your source into an RSL. From the command line it will look something like this:
>compc -directory -output=button -link-report=link.rpt -include-classes=mx.controls.Button -source-path=.
>optimizer button/library.swf –output -button.swf
>digest button.swf -swc-path=button
After running these commands the size of button.swf is 143,596 bytes. Looking at the link report, there are a lot of classes besides mx.controls.Button that we don't need. Ideally, all we want in the RSL is mx.controls.Button. But the Flash Player requires classes that Button extends or implements to be defined when the Button class is loaded. Since we are loading this RSL before the framework RSL, we need to also include the classes Button extends and implements in framework.swc. For each additional class we include, we also need to include the classes it extends and implements.
Take the link report from the first compile of Button and copy it to a file we will use as our externs file. The externs file is what we will use to remove classes we don't want in the RSL. I actually seeded my externs.xml file by copying and pasting the script children from framework.swc's catalog. My thinking was that I wanted to exclude everything in framework.swc except Button and the classes it extends or implements. But now I can see that the externs file is much larger than it would have been if I had just started with the initial link report.
Next edit the externs file by removing the script elements for mx.controls.Button and all of its inheritance dependencies. After recompiling I was able to get the RSL size down to 35,152 bytes. That is still pretty big but it's the best we can do because we need UIComponent and UICompoment is big. When monkey patching spark components we will be able to remove UIComponent and get a much smaller RSL.
Add your RSL to the configuration
Now that you have your RSL, you just need to add it to the RSL configuration. I created a local configuration file, main-config.xml, with the RSLs I wanted. You can start by copying the elements from flex-config.xml to your local configuration file. Then add the entry for your RSL before the framework RSL.
The order of the runtime-shared-library-path options is important because it determines the load order of the RSLs. The RSL URLs in my configuration file are all local SWF files so before running the application I will copy the RSLs from my SDK frameworks/RSLs directory to where my application lives.
When the new RSL is loaded for the first time you will mostly encounter verify errors because you missed removing an interface from the externs file. As you encounter a verify error, remove that class from the externs file and try again. Eventually the RSL will contain all the classes it needs and load without errors.
Finally, run the application to verify the monkey patched Button is being used.

FWC: Florida family finds rare, two-headed snake at their residence

Florida — As if 2020 couldn't get any weirder.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says they are now caring for a two-headed snake found in Palm Bay, Florida.
The Kay Rodgers family said they found the snake at their residence and notified FWC.
The snake has been identified as a rare two-headed juvenile black racer.
FWC said the birth defect is known as bicephaly. It is uncommon but happens during embryo development when two monozygotic twins failed to separate. When that happens, the two heads remain conjoined on a single body.
According to FWC, the snake head's tongue flick and the heads react movement. However, sometimes the heads react differently.
FWC said they took the snake in because two-headed snakes rarely survive in the wild is due to the fact that the two brains make opposite decisions that inhibit the ability to feed or escape from its predators. Additionally, the snake could be killed by humans who are uneducated about the snake species.
Some believe that two-headed snakes represent evil.
Black racers are completely harmless and beneficial to the environment, especially around the home.

Angel Eye Bay-Res Water-Cooling Reservoir
Manufacturer: Angel Eye USA
Reservoir and Installation
Why use a reservoir?
The use of a reservoir in a PC water-cooling system is optional. For many the advantages of using a reservoir outweigh the disadvantages. Reservoirs come in many different shapes, sizes and styles. Some contain a submerged pump while others do not and are connected inline. The Angel Eye Bay-Res is an inline reservoir. This means you can pretty much plumb it wherever you want in the water-cooling system. My personal preference is to have the reservoir connected directly ahead of the pump.
Advantages of using a reservoir:
 - Provides an easily accessible fill point
 - Serves as an air trap to help remove air bubbles
 - Provides a reserve volume of water to make up for losses that occur over time
 - Can help reduce NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) of the pump
 - Allows for expansion and contraction of the systems water volume
Disadvantages of using a reservoir:
 - Can be bulky – may be hard to locate in small systems
 - Potential source of flow restriction and leaks
The two most obvious advantages of using a reservoir are providing an easy access point to fill or add water to the system and helping get rid of trapped air bubbles, especially during startup. When you first setup a system, there will always be some air bubbles circulating around in the water. These air bubbles must be removed for optimum performance (water transports heat a lot more efficiently than air).
As the water enters the relatively large volume of the reservoir, the water velocity will decrease (don't confuse velocity with flow – the overall flow rate will remain constant in a closed system). Air bubbles can become trapped in a high velocity fluid stream and may only rise to the surface when the water velocity slows down enough to release them.
In general the higher the overall system flow rate, the larger the reservoir volume will need to be to effectively remove air from the system. Remember though, just because you may have a pump that is rated at 300 GPH free flow, doesn't mean you will have anywhere near that amount in a real system. In addition to the total volume, the shape of the reservoir and use of baffles and/or screens can have a large affect on a reservoir's ability to remove trapped air bubbles. The Bay-Res Rev. 2 incorporates a center baffle, which forces the water to flow down one side and back the other. This helps minimize turbulence and gives the air bubbles a greater chance to reach the surface.
One of the nice features of an inline reservoir is that you can place it most anywhere you want in your system. This means the Bay-Res can go in the top, middle or bottom drive bay. Now some people think that having the reservoir at the highest point in the case is best since air bubbles rise to the highest point, right? Well actually, no. Air bubbles will only freely rise to the highest point when there is no flow. The normal flow in an operating system is usually enough to keep air bubbles trapped and circulating in the coolant stream. Only when the water velocity decreases in the reservoir do the air bubbles have a chance to slow down and rise to the surface.
Installing the Bay-Res in an open 5.25" drive bay was much like installing a typical optical drive. The reservoir is held in place with the four supplied screws. Having a case that uses sliding drive bay rails is a big advantage – it allows quickly and easily sliding the reservoir out for filling or topping off the system.
If your case does not have sliding bay rails then you will have to remove the reservoir mounting screws before you can slide the reservoir forward for filling or topping off the system. Alternately, if the bay(s) above the reservoir are empty, that can also provide access to the fill port.
I generally find that mounting the Bay-Res in the lower 5.25" drive bay works the best for me as it keeps the reservoir below the optical drives (just in case we experience a leak) and the tubing more closely lines up with other components (like the waterblock). In reality, with the option of using either straight or 90º fittings, you can place it in any drive bay you choose.

The list of matched tunes has a column of input boxes on the left (marked'sel' at the top). If you enter numbers in these and then use the format-selection buttons at the top and bottom (ABC, TXT,...), you will get back all of the selected tunes. The numbers you enter determine the order of the tunes in the output.
One limitation: To my knowledge, with the GIF and PNG formats, there is no way to see more than one printable "page" of output. So if the tunes produce more than one page (in the PS or PDF output), GIF and PNG will only show the first page. If anyone knows a solution to this, let me know.
You can actually enter just about any text in the sel input boxes. Non-numeric strings will simply be sorted alphabetically, after any numbers. But numbers are probably more useful.
To Do: The output tunes should be renumbered to match the numbers that you typed.


Print a path from Root to Node in Binary Tree
Objective: Given a Binary tree (Not binary Search Tree ), Print a path from root to a given node.
Input: A binary tree, a node x
Output: Path from root to a given node
Example :
path from root to Node example
Approach :
since it's not a binary search tree, we cannot use binary search technique to reach to the node. we need to travel all the nodes in order to find the node
 1. Start from the root and compare it with x, if matched then we have found the node.
 2. Else go left and right.
 3. Recursively do step 2 and 3 till you find the node x.
 4. Now when you have found the node, stop the recursion.
 5. Now while going back to the root while back tracking, store the node values in the ArrayList.
 6. Reverse the ArrayList and print it.
 7. see the picture below
Print path form root to Node
Time Complexity : O(n)
Complete Code:
Output:
Path [1, 2, 5, 8]

Some of the things to look for
when walking on Table Mountain
Table Mountain is a floral wonder. In a relatively small area almost 1500 plant species have been recorded. There are more species of plant on this small mountain than in the whole of the British isles!! So it is worth keeping your eyes open on a hike and just looking at the plants around your feet. What adds extra fascination is the difference between both the species of plant and the time of flowering in different areas of the mountain.
Last week I hiked along the 12 Apostels from Llandudno to Kasteelspoort,where we descended. Here are just some of the plants we spotted along the way.


text: This paper partitioned five major coal mining areas respectively in central, southern and eastern Jilin Province for case study based on current situation of exploitation and distribution of coal resources through artificial neural network(ANN) and the 3S technology to gain soil erosion loss mass. On the basis of RUSLE equation, BP neural network is fused to gain the rainfall erosion index of higher precision than those of traditional method. By extracting of indices and raster calculation on the platform of ERDAS and ArcGIS software, we made predication of soil erosion loss of the coal mining areas. After verification, the precision of rainfall erosion index is high, and thus improved the predicting accuracy of soil erosion. Comparative analysis shows that the soil erosion in central section of Jilin Province has much lower intensity, and high degree erosion occurred in the east and south mostly.

Dentsu Aegis Network held its annual volunteer initiative, One Day for Change, for the fifth consecutive year, on Friday (11 May).
Staff from 13 markets in Asia Pacific took part (Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam), and the event continued last year's theme, "Champions for Children". Events focused on helping underprivileged children by building better environments for them to live, play, and learn in. In addition, activities this year focused on bridging the digital divide between the wealthy and the underprivileged.
"As we seek to become a 100% digital economy business, we want to bridge the digital divide in the communities around us," said Nick Waters, CEO of Dentsu Aegis Network Asia Pacific. "Our focus this year is on supporting young people to make the most of the opportunities the digital economy provides, through continuous and sustainable CSR activities. With this, we hope to better equip children from all parts of the community to thrive in today's digital society."
The Singapore team, for example, hosted 60 children at the Asia Pacific headquarters, teaching them about Google, cybersecurity and augmented reality. Hong Kong staff continued a partnership with charitable organisation Po Leung Kuk to provide children the opportunity to explore their creativity and self-expression by using light painting and AR technologies. Malaysia continued a cybersecurity school roadshow for the second year.

Custom data lookup
Log in to subscribe to topics and get notified when content changes.
Custom data lookup
You can create a custom table to store lookup data.
The custom table must extend the Data Lookup Matcher Rules [dl_matcher] table.
For example, you can create a Server Offering Lookups table to store information about matcher offerings (bronze, silver, and gold) and associated setter values (memory and disk space) for each matcher offering.
Create a custom data lookup
Creating a catalog data lookup is similar to creating a normal, custom data lookup except when creating the catalog data lookup definition record.
 1. Create a custom data lookup table. It must extend the Data Lookup Matcher Rules [dl_matcher] table.
 2. Add data lookup values to the data lookup table.
 3. Create a catalog data lookup definition record.
 4. (Optional) Create a data lookup module.
Troubleshooting
If the custom data lookup definition rules are not behaving as expected, check for certain conditions.
If the custom data lookup definition rules are not behaving as expected, check for the following conditions:
 - Ensure that the matcher variable is not read-only. Since users cannot change read-only variables, there cannot be an on form change event for read-only variables.
 - Ensure that the data in the matcher table is correct.
 - If the lookup requires an exact match, verify that there is a matcher table row for each possible combination (including blank values). The lookup fails if it cannot find a matching value.
 - If the variable is an option or check box, it always has a value, so you must select Always replace.
 - Verify that you have not created a recursive rule, such as:
 If Variable A = 1, then Variable B =2. If Variable B = 2, then Variable A = 2.

by Jonathan Brisendine – Field & Lab Archaeologist
During the excavation process, one of the common artifacts found on historic sites is glass. So what does this tell us archaeologically other than there was glass here? We classify glass in two major categories Flat and Curved. Flat glass usually pertains to window glass, while curved or hollow usually pertains to you guessed it, bottles. Once we collect all the artifacts in field they are brought back to the lab where they are cleaned then cataloged. From this we can get an accurate amount of each type of glass that was found. Because, of the detailed records we keep of the location of our testing units both the vertical and horizontal location is known. With this information we can draw meaning interpretations from even the most ubiquitous artifacts. Seen below is an imagined example of a historic foundation and the results of the statistical mapping that we could produce once we have gathered the information of the type and frequency of glass once catalogued.
Blue indicates the location where flat glass was found while green indicated where the curved hollow glass was found. What conclusions would you draw from this information? First note the brick structure. Think about structures and where flat glass would most likely be found and why. Also, think about areas of activity inside such a structure. Where would a person store & use hollow glass such as bottles. To see how we might interpret the location of the artifacts, see the image below.

A canonical correlation analysis based method for contamination event detection in water sources†
In this study, a general framework integrating a data-driven estimation model is employed for contamination event detection in water sources. Sequential canonical correlation coefficients are updated in the model using multivariate water quality time series. The proposed method utilizes canonical correlation analysis for studying the interplay between two sets of water quality parameters. The model is assessed by precision, recall and F-measure. The proposed method is tested using data from a laboratory contaminant injection experiment. The proposed method could detect a contamination event 1 minute after the introduction of 1.600 mg l−1 acrylamide solution. With optimized parameter values, the proposed method can correctly detect 97.50% of all contamination events with no false alarms. The robustness of the proposed method can be explained using the Bauer–Fike theorem.

Michelle Obama Picture in Google Image Results Creates Controversy
Search for Michelle Obama's name via Google's image search and you'll likely find an image that has been characterized as a racist caricature of the first lady of the US in the top results.
The image is offensive to many and while some are demanding it be removed, Google is holding firm and yet still apologizing. The Washington Post has uncovered a formal apology from Google in the form of an ad displayed above the offensive image that directs visitors to a page explaining how Google's search results algorithm works.
In short, while Google apologizes for upsetting searchers, it's standing by the algorithm. The full text of the statement reads:
The Google Team
michelle obama google image search
As the statement implies, Google will pull a photo should the site hosting it serve malware, which was apparently the case with the image in question at one point, as it was temporarily removed from search results. In any event, it is now back in the top spot.
Despite the inappropriateness of the image, we understand why Google would stand by their algorithm rather than play the role of censor. But do you? Let us know where you side on the heated image controversy in the comments.

oa Civil Engineering = Siviele Ingenieurswese - Upgrade produces efficient plant with fitting architectural character
The extensive overhaul and reconstruction of the Cullinan Water Treatment Plant demanded an unusual mix of creative and sound, detailed engineering skiffs The Cullinan Water Treatment Plant is situated in Cullinan some 50 km east of Pretoria and receives water from the Wilge River via a 60 km pipeline. The plant, originally constructed in 1904, had been extended and modified to the extent that it was no longer possible to run it efficiently. This combined with poor working process units produced water of an unacceptable quality.

Rescued Mice. Find a Mouse at a Shelter
 - Find photos of Mice for adoption near you. Read profiles of Mice personalities.
 - Give a healthy Mouse a home. Why buy a Mouse for sale when you can adopt?
 - Use Search Saver. We will e-mail you when we find a Mouse in your area for adoption.
What to Consider Before Adopting a Mouse.
We are happy that you have decided to adopt a Mouse. Mouse adoption is a wonderful way to provide a Mouse a second chance and caring environment. Most pets arrive at shelters because the owner had to move, could no longer afford the pet, had a death in the family, or simply gave up the responsibly of being a care taker for a Mouse. Before bringing home a Mouse, make sure you have considered the full impact of your decision. Below is a brief overview of the type of needs a Mouse might require and what you will need to consider for the life time care of a Mouse.
First most, understand that no matter what, even if you buy a Mouse for sale, or adopt, as a new pet owner it is your responsibility to care for the Mouse it's entire lifespan. Part of that responsibility is taking time to understand the basic needs of a Mouse. At the top of that list should be getting know the diet of a Mouse. Find out how often and what a Mouse needs to eat. Next, what shelter do you need to provide? Get to know what habitat a Mouse is accustom to, what temperature will the Mouse need to maintain, and what range of temperatures are acceptable for a Mouse to survive.
It's usually a good idea to get to know a little more about Mouse habits, temperament and relationship with humans before adopting a Mouse. For example, can you handle a Mouse. What is an indicator if a Mouse is being aggressive and senses fear? Some pets will maintain much more happiness as long as they live socially, does a Mouse need a companion pet in order to live happily? What exercise does a Mouse need regularly?
Mouse adoption can be an enriching experience, and is a big decision. Whatever pet you adopt will demand certain lifestyle changes, and a financial commitment. Estimating the monthly costs of owning a pet is just as important as making sure you have the time and motivation to feed the Mouse when necessary, and provide a safe environment to live.

Question: Can An Eagle Kill A Bear?
What animal can eat a bear?
Most other animals have more to fear.
Scavengers in numbers are also a threat..
Can an eagle pick up a human?
"There used to be stories about eagles carrying off babies and little kids, and none of that has ever been documented," he said. "They can pick up and carry four or five pounds, maximum, and actually fly off with it. They can lift a little more and hop it along, but they can't carry it off."
Who would win eagle or wolf?
Golden eagles can kill mammals bigger and heavier than wolves by a powerful strike directed at the back of the skull, a trained eagle would in fact be able to kill even an adult wolf if it approached quickly enough and struck the wolf, from behind, in the right place.
What is toxic to bears?
Theobromine can, at high doses, be toxic to bears and other species. Its effects have been studied and documented in dogs, cats, rodents and humans, but its impact on bears and other wildlife species is largely unknown, according to Fish and Game.
Can a hawk pick up a 20 pound dog?
Large raptors, such as Red-tailed Hawks and Great Horned Owls, can attack and kill small pets. We have received dozens of inquiries about dogs and cats weighing anywhere from 6 to 60 pounds. … A large female Cooper's Hawk can weigh just over one pound; thus the most it could pick up would be a one pound animal.
Can an owl pick up a 20 pound dog?
Great horned owls, northern goshawks, and red-tailed hawks are three of the most common birds-of-prey to lash at small dogs and cats, typically those under 20 pounds. … Oftentimes the answer is as simple as knowing if your yard is also viewed by a hawk or owl as its own home.
Will a bear attack a human?

Males weigh an average of 10 pounds while females clock in closer to 20 pounds. Their rear talons are 3 to 4 inches long – the same length as a grizzly bear's claws. They have a grip strength of appproximately 530 psi – more than enough to crush the human skull & squash your brain like a grape.
Do bears eat humans?
Bears. … Truly man-eating bear attacks are uncommon, but are known to occur when the animals are diseased or natural prey is scarce, often leading them to attack and eat anything they are able to kill.

Starting Geyser and Caldera jobs from Cheyenne
Interactive jobs | Batch jobs | Compiling your code
Cheyenne HPC system users run jobs on the Geyser and Caldera clusters by submitting them with the open-source Slurm Workload Manager
Procedures for starting both interactive jobs and batch jobs are described below.
Begin by logging in on Cheyenne.
Compiling code
You will need to compile your code on Geyser or Caldera to run it on these nodes*. See compiling your code below.
Interactive jobs
Using execdav
Run the execdav script/command to start an interactive job. Invoking it without an argument will start an interactive shell on the first available Geyser/Caldera data analysis and visualization (DAV) node. The default wall-clock time is 6 hours.
The execdav command has these optional arguments:
 - -a project_code (defaults to value of DAV_PROJECT)
 - -t time (minutes:seconds or hours:minutes:seconds; defaults to 6 hours)
 - -n number_of_cores (defaults to 1 core: -n 1)
 - -m nG (use this if you want to specify the amount of memory you need to use on the node, from 1 to 900 gigabytes: -m 300G, for example; if you do not specify memory per node, the default memory available is 1.87G per core that you request.)
 - -g gpu_type (gpu_type can be k20, k5000, any or none; defaults to none)
To specify which project code to charge for your CPU time, set environment variable DAV_PROJECT before invoking execdav. For example, DAV_PROJECT=UABC0001.
* * *
Using execgy and execca
The execgy and execca commands execute scripts that start interactive sessions on Geyser and Caldera respectively. A session started with one of these commands uses a single core and has a wall-clock time of 6 hours. Use execdav (see below) if you want to specify different resource needs.
Example with output
cheyenne6:~> execgy
mem =
amount of memory is default
Submitting interactive job to slurm using account SCSG0001 ...
submit cmd is
salloc -C geyser -N 1 -n 1 -t 6:00:00 -p dav --account=SCSG0001 srun --pty ... (shortened for space)
salloc: Pending job allocation 132885
salloc: job 132885 queued and waiting for resources
salloc: job 132885 has been allocated resources
salloc: Granted job allocation 132885
salloc: Waiting for resource configuration
salloc: Nodes geyser10 are ready for job
username@geyser13:~>
To end the session, run exit.
Run execgy -help or execca -help for additional information.
* * *
Using exechpss
The exechpss command is used to initiate HSI and HTAR file transfers. See examples in Managing files with HSI and Using HTAR to transfer files.
* * *
See _URL_ for in-depth Slurm documentation.
Batch jobs
Prepare a batch script by following one of the examples below. The system does not import your Cheyenne environment, so be sure your script loads the software modules that you will need to run the job.
The slurm module is loaded by default on Cheyenne to enable you to run Slurm commands. Include the module in any customized environments that you use if you will be submitting Geyser or Caldera jobs.
Basic Slurm commands
When your script is ready, run sbatch to submit the job.
sbatch script_name
To check on your job's progress, run squeue.
squeue -u $USER
To get a detailed status report, run scontrol show job followed by the job number.
scontrol show job nnn
To kill a job, run scancel with the job number.
scancel nnn
-C option to specify node type
Many user jobs can run on any DAV node and they will spend less time waiting in the queue if the type of node to use is not specified. If you do need to specify a node type for your job, you can use the -C option to set that constraint by including a line like this in your script:
#SBATCH -C geyser
#SBATCH -C caldera
#SBATCH -C pronghorn
You can also combine constraints to specify that the job can run on either caldera or pronghorn. Pronghorn nodes do not have GPUs but are otherwise equivalent to caldera nodes.
#SBATCH -C caldera|pronghorn
In general, minimize resource constraints when possible to decrease the length of time your job waits in the queue.
Wall-clock
The wall-clock limit on these clusters is 24 hours.
Specify the hours your job needs as in the examples below, which use the hours:minutes:seconds format. It can be shortened to minutes:seconds.
Script examples
The examples below show how to create a script for running an MPI job. See these pages for other examples:
Earlier script examples included a source command for initializing the Slurm environment. That command is no longer needed and should be removed from scripts used in the CentOS 7 environment. The first line of the bash scripts for Slurm jobs also has been revised to include the -l option.
For tcsh users
Insert your own project code where indicated and customize other settings as needed for your own job. Do not use the shell's -f option in your first line; it prevents the environment from initializing properly.
#!/bin/tcsh
#SBATCH -J job_name
#SBATCH -n 8
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=4
#SBATCH --mem=8G
#SBATCH -t 00:60:00
#SBATCH -A project_code
#SBATCH -p dav
#SBATCH -e job_name.err.%J
#SBATCH -o job_name.out.%J
setenv TMPDIR /glade/scratch/$USER/temp
mkdir -p $TMPDIR
module purge
module load gnu/7.3.0 ncarenv ncarcompilers
module load openmpi
srun ./mpihello
For bash users
Insert your own project code where indicated and customize other settings as needed for your own job.
#!/bin/bash -l
#SBATCH -J job_name
#SBATCH -n 8
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=4
#SBATCH --mem=8G
#SBATCH -t 00:60:00
#SBATCH -A project_code
#SBATCH -p dav
#SBATCH -e job_name.err.%J
#SBATCH -o job_name.out.%J
export TMPDIR=/glade/scratch/$USER/temp
mkdir -p $TMPDIR
module purge
module load gnu/7.3.0 ncarenv ncarcompilers
module load openmpi
srun ./mpihello
Compiling your code
You will need to compile your code on Geyser or Caldera to run it on these nodes*.
CISL recommends using the default Intel or GNU compilers for parallel programs. Once you are on a Geyser or Caldera node, load the GNU or Intel compiler and then the openmpi module if you plan to use MPI. Then compile your code as you usually do.
Serial programs can use any compiler.

* Some Caldera nodes use the hostname "pronghorn." Compiling on caldera and pronghorn hosts will generate equivalent executables.

Practical Tips To Clean Stains On The Walls Of A Minimalist Home
Not only is the condition of the floor, furniture, or yard that determines whether your house is clean or not, the condition of the walls must also receive attention. The reason is that even though your minimalist house is clean but the walls are full of stains, the house will still look dull and unattractive. A house with dirty walls also runs the risk of lowering the selling price — if one day you want to sell the house. So, to keep it looking clean and comfortable, start cleaning the walls of the house using home painting services; some stains can be cleaned easily, such as oil stains, food crumb stains, and mud stains. Cleaning usually can be done by wiping it with a tissue, sponge, or damp cloth. Meanwhile, for some types of stains that contain chemicals, such as pen or marker scribbles, oil paint is usually difficult to remove, unless you clean it as soon as the stain is exposed to the wall.
Food coloring stains, such as chocolate, sauce, or jam, can be removed simply by wiping the walls with a cloth or paper towel. Meanwhile, coconut milk food stains, gravy stains, and mud stains can be removed by wiping them with a cloth soaked in warm water to remove the oil or grease. One of the causes of dull walls is not necessarily food or soil stains, but rather dust left on. If the buildup is not impossible, it will make the walls damp and cause mold. So, at least clean the walls — especially the outer walls of the house — every two weeks with a broom or wipe them with an old cloth. Markers or pen stains should be cleaned with the help of baking soda or vinegar. The trick, add one tablespoon of baking soda or vinegar to half a small bucket of water. Then dip the sponge in the liquid and wash the sponge over the surface of the stained wall.
To clean a moss stain, it's best to open a window, as the scent of moss tends to be strong and makes it hard to breathe freely. Remove the moss stain with lemon juice. The trick, mix lemon with a glass of water then put it in a spray bottle. Spray onto the wall surface and then wipe with a cloth.

A hug and an embrace may seem similar to each other, but the main difference between the two is the type of affection that you will provide when you are doing these actions. When you provide a hug, this means that you will tightly squeeze a person in order to express your affection. When you embrace someone, this means that you are holding the person in your arms.
This may occur for an extended period of time. You may usually provide a hug or an embrace to the people that you care about. The longer that you hold the person, the more of an embrace it is rather than a hug. You may give a hug or an embrace, depending on what you think the person needs.
Hug and Embrace are two action words. It will be very difficult to figure out the differences between the two words if you do not have an understanding of the usage of the words. Hug and embrace have almost the same meaning. Hug simply means to cling so tightly with someone, especially in the arms. This is a particular way of showing affection to someone.
Embrace also has the same meaning as a hug. For example, John hugged/embraced Esther until he felt better. The major difference between hug and embrace will be discussed in relation to how they are used in a sentence. A hug is most times used as a verb, but it can also be used as a noun, for example, I'm looking for someone who will give me a hug. Embrace, on the other hand, can also be used as a verb and also, as a noun. Aside from, embrace has other meanings. It can be used to show that you are in support of someone's idea. For example, I embraced Paul's idea because it looked good to me.
A hug and an embrace or both forms of physical contact; however, a hug usually is more casual, whereas, an embrace is often a shared exchange between two people who are in love. It may even come across as if the two people embracing want to hold on to one another endlessly because it can get that intimate. Hugs can be exchanged between friends and family, and most casual situations where both involve the act of holding someone with affection.
Hugs mean more of a squeezing action. An embrace is keeping a tighter hold, and it may last a lot longer than a hog. An embrace could also mean keeping, or holding onto a belief, or even an acceptance of something, such as faith or trust in God or Jesus. An example would be embracing Jesus Christ as our Savior. Another example would be embracing changes in our lives whereas some people don't like change.

The Superhero Database Classification number, or SHDB Class, is a number that represents the overall 'power' of a character. All traits of a character are used for calculating the Classification.
What it DOESN'T mean
This doesn't mean that a higher class would always beat a lower class character. But the bigger the difference in Class is, the more obvious it is who'll win in a fight.
How is this calculated
( INT^1.3 + (STR*0.5 )^2 + (SPE*0.5)^2 + DUR^1.6 + (POW + (SPS*SPL))^2 + COM^1.8 ) ^ TIER
Super Power Score and Level
Every Super Power has a score (SPS) that is used to calculate the Class. Each Super Power also has 3 levels (SPL). The level is set when connecting that Super Power to a character. The level determines the final score, of the Super Power, being used in the calculation.

The witching hour. Just saying it out loud can send shivers down your spine. Waking up in the middle of the night is the last thing you want (seriously, can you even remember the days of pulling all-nighters?), but at 3 a.m., this inconvenience can become downright spooky. If you've ever felt a hint of the paranormal in the middle of the night, you may have experienced the witching hour. Keep reading for a full understanding of the witching hour and what can happen during the dead of night — if you dare.
What Is the Witching Hour?
According to folklore, the witching hour is a specific time of night when paranormal activity is most likely to occur. That's because the veil between the living and the dead becomes thinner during this time. Ghosts and spirits can travel more easily between the two worlds, and the living become more aware of their presence here on Earth. If you wake up during the witching hour, you won't turn into Haley Joel Osment à la "The Sixth Sense" — but you may have a stronger sense of the supernatural.
When Is the Witching Hour?
The exact time of the witching hour depends on who you ask. Today, it's most commonly believed to occur from 3 a.m. to 4 a.m., in the darkest part of the night. This time has roots in religious beliefs, at least somewhat. Christians believe Jesus was crucified at 3 p.m. Since the devil is the inversion of Christ, 3 a.m. became known as the peak time of demonic activity. The number three can also be a mockery of the Holy Trinity, which may have led to the belief that 3 a.m. is the devil's hour.
Of course, the devil and witchcraft have nothing to do with one another. But people believed witches became more powerful at night, particularly at midnight. Others believed witches were active throughout the night, from sunset to sunrise. Over time, the 3 a.m. hour became known as the witching hour, probably because it coincided with other beliefs about supernatural activity.
What Happens During the Witching Hour?
Again, folklore is mixed about what happens during the witching hour. You've probably heard some of the superstitions, such as if you look in the mirror, you may see a ghost in the reflection. Those theories come from the belief that ghosts and spirits can pass more freely between the two worlds during the witching hour. That's also why mediums can communicate more easily with spirits during this time. For the same reason, paranormal investigators often conduct their research during the witching hour since there's a better chance to capture some supernatural activity.
Witching Hour Rituals
Let's be real: Unless you're a thrill-seeker, you probably don't want to wake up in the middle of the night with your heart pounding, scared to go to the bathroom in case you encounter a ghost on the way. But if you constantly wake up only to discover it's 3 a.m. again, here are some rituals you can do to calm down. Let the spirits do their thing, and you can sleep peacefully.
Create a Sleep Ritual
Technically, you do this before falling asleep, but it's still good advice. Create a sleep ritual to set yourself up for a good night's rest, minus the ghosts and demons. Turn down the thermostat or use a fan to cool your room to an ideal sleeping temperature. Set out some of your favorite crystals. Find ways to relax before bedtime, such as lighting a candle or diffusing essential oils. Do this same ritual nightly to prepare your body for sleep.
Wear a Sleep Mask
If you wake up during the witching hour, the problem may be light interfering with your sleep. Use a sleep mask to block the natural light from your windows or other sources. Of course, make sure you keep your bedroom dark. Hang blackout curtains or shades, so car headlights or an early sunrise don't wake you up.
Use a White Noise Machine
Block out the things that go bump in the night with a white noise machine. Sounds such as ocean waves and thunderstorms can help you fall asleep — and stay asleep. You can even download apps to play white noise from your phone.
Listen to a Podcast
The next time you find yourself awake during the witching hour, put on a podcast to calm your nerves and relax into a blissful sleep. Just search for "sleep podcasts," and you'll find tons of options. A podcast can give you something to focus on besides the ghost lurking in the corner. Kidding!
Is the Witching Hour Real?
So, here's the million-dollar question: Is the witching hour real? Like all things associated with the paranormal, it's difficult to prove, but it's certainly not impossible. The idea has become ingrained in modern-day culture, making it a popular reference in everything from horror movies to the scary stories you tell around a campfire. Some people swear they feel the presence of spirits in the middle of the night, while skeptics have doubts. And if you're a parent, the term "witching hour" may have a totally different meaning to you!
We can't tell you whether the witching hour is real or not. Honestly, that's something only you can determine for yourself. But you have to admit that there's a lot we don't know about the paranormal realm. So, the next time you wake up at 3 a.m., just know that the tingly feeling you have may not be a coincidence.

This paper analyzes whether participation in formal and informal community activities helped household in Indonesia mitigating the impact of the 1998 economic crisis and increasing the probability of household head being employed. The paper uses the 1997 and 2000 round of Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) to capture the impact of economic crisis on household welfare. The empirical results do not seem to support those hypotheses. Using number of children in each household as instrumental variable to solve the reverse causality and omitted variable bias problems, we find no statistically significant effect of community participation on the ability of households to mitigate expenditure shocks and to smooth consumption. The large magnitude and universal nature of the shock might explain why social capital did not help households. Participation in community activities also does not seem to significantly explain the probability of household heads being employed in the period of the crisis.

Editorial: Professor sued over casual touch
Marta Sanchez, a student at the University of Virginia Law School, is claiming that an incident of personal contact between herself and Professor Kenneth Abraham during one of his lectures caused her severe mental anguish and is seeking $35,000 in damages. This lawsuit should not be allowed to continue. There must be a reasonable agreement made before university professors are left defenseless in their classrooms.
During a lecture, Abraham was explaining a legal issue and to demonstrate his point (adding that he probably shouldn't do what he was about to do) proceeded to lay his hand on the shoulder of the student closest to him. That student happened to be Marta Sanchez.
At age 11, Sanchez, who is from Panama, became a victim of repeated physical, mental and sexual abuse and, as a result, experiences great difficulty with personal contact. The incident made Sanchez very uncomfortable, and she took her concerns to university counselors. Sanchez found the outcome of a meeting with Abraham unsatisfying and decided to bring a civil lawsuit against Abraham.
There is no doubt that Sanchez was affected by the incident because of her sensitivity to personal contact, but there is no way that Abraham could have known that. Holding him accountable for this action is setting a precedent that will cause any friendly relations between professor and student to be grounds for litigation.
Professors cannot know the history of each student, and though Abraham's actions were harmless, it is best if they keep their hands to themselves. It should also be understood that personal contact is not always avoidable. Furthermore, Sanchez's suit should be thrown out when it reaches circuit court because, by all accounts, she had no reason to believe that Abraham would make any kind of inappropriate advance toward her, and he made the context of his actions quite clear.
