Ökad befolkning = Ökad önskan om strandnära boenden? : En undersökning av tätortsnära strandskyddsdispenser i Umeå kommun.
Sammanfattning: This study seeks to examine whether a relation can be found between the number of shoreline exemptions and the development of Umeå municipalities population, or not. The weight of this paper will be focusing on the importance of place attractiveness and social place identity for people's desires and ambitions to live near a lake or the coast. The policies of planning will also be highlighted in order to receive greater understanding of why people apply for shoreline exemptions. Four semi- structured interviews with planners from Umeå municipality were therefor held with the ambition to complement the quantitative findings of the development of exemptions. The presenting results indicates that an increase of shoreline exemptions can be stated as well as the actions within the exemptions. The population has steadily increased trough out the studied years, 2014-2017. The relation between these findings can be argued have had a similar development, but we cannot be sure to say that they solely affect each other. Therefor the findings will be explained by earlier research regarding residential preferences, the desire to live with water view and planning policies that responds to these factors.

Number of groups of prime power order
John Baez left a comment on my post on group statistics saying
It's known that the number of groups of order p^n for prime p is p^{2n^3/27+O(n^(8/3))}. It might be fun to compare this to what Mathematica says.
Here goes. First let's let p = 2. Mathematica's FiniteGroupCount function tops out at n = 10. And for the range of values Mathematica does support, 2^{2n^3/27} grossly overestimates the number of groups.
 Table[{FiniteGroupCount[2^n], 2^((2./27) n^3)}, {n, 1, 11}]
 {{1, 1.05269}, {2, 1.50795}, {5, 4.}, {14, 26.7365},
 {51, 612.794}, {267, 65536.}, {2328, 4.45033*10^7},
 {56092, 2.61121*10^11}, {_PHONE_, 1.80144*10^16},
 {49487365422, 1.98847*10^22}, {FiniteGroupCount[2048], 4.7789*10^29}}
OEIS has entries for the sizes of various groups, and the entry for powers of 2 confirms the asymptotic formula above. Maybe it's not a good approximation until n is very large. (Update: Here's a reference for the asymptotic expression for all p.)
The OEIS entry for number of groups of order powers of 5 has an interesting result:
For a prime p >= 5, the number of groups of order p^n begins 1, 1, 2, 5, 15,
61 + 2*p + 2*gcd (p – 1, 3) + gcd (p – 1, 4),
3*p^2 + 39*p + 344 + 24*gcd(p – 1, 3) + 11*gcd(p – 1, 4) + 2*gcd(p – 1, 5), …
We can duplicate this with Mathematica.
 Table[FiniteGroupCount[5^n], {n, 0, 6}]
 {1, 1, 2, 5, 15, 77, 684}
and the last two numbers match the calculations given in OEIS.
There's something interesting going on with Mathematica. It doesn't seem to know, or agree with, the formula above for groups of order p4. For example,
 Table[FiniteGroupCount[7^n], {n, 0, 6}]
 {1, 1, 2, 5, FiniteGroupCount[2401], 83, 860}
I get similar results when I use larger primes: it can't handle the fourth power.
 Table[FiniteGroupCount[389^n], {n, 0, 6}]
 {1, 1, 2, 5, FiniteGroupCount[22898045041], 845, 469548}
The results for n = 5 and 6 agree with OEIS.
Is OEIS wrong about the number of groups of order p4 or should Mathematica simply return 15 but there's a gap in the software?
Also, does anybody know why the agreement with the asymptotic formula above is so bad? It's just as bad or worse for other primes that I tried.

4 thoughts on "Number of groups of prime power order
 1. Just looking at that formula, it doesn't seem like you should expect it to give a "good" approximation. The big-oh term has a power of 8/3, compared to 3 for the leading term (so you wouldn't expect it to be that small for the values of n you're looking at, even if the constant in the big-oh term is not astronomically large), and, more importantly, it's in the exponent. In other words, the ratio of the logarithms approaches 1, although probably slowly, but the actual ratio of FiniteGroupCount to the approximation might not even approach 1 at all.
 2. Including the big-oh term would make the upper bound even worse. The estimate is already off by several orders of magnitude without it. So unless I'm missing something, the expression has no practical utility.
 3. Yes, the number of groups of order p^4 is 15 unless p=2. I suspect it was accidentally overlooked in Mathematica.
 4. If my understanding of the notation is correct, the big-oh term is an error term which could be either positive or negative, much like writing sin(x) = x + O(x^3) for x close to 0. In the examples in this post, it is clearly negative. The bound you get from this formula is a very weak bound, but it is at least a bound, which is better than nothing.

Professor Lorena Barba, from GW, has announced an open online course on computing for engineers: Get Data Off The Ground with Python on the GW Engineering platform –built by IBL on the Open edX software. This is the first in a series of course modules on computation for engineering students.
The first module in Engineering Computations creates a foundation for Python programming. "You learn to handle core data types (strings, lists) and also n-dimensional arrays. The first three lessons have essentially no mathematics, to focus on the programming patterns. The fourth lesson deals with creating and operating on arrays. The final lesson is a worked example of linear regression with real data. The target audience is first-year engineering students, but the course would be equally useful to students in any science or technology field," explained Professor Barba.

Room: AAPM ePoster Library
Purpose: this study, we developed and evaluated a system that could monitor compression force inside a thermoplastic mask in real time. The system also provides a warning to the user when there is a possibility of improper immobilization.
Methods: real-time thermoplastic mask compression force (TMCF) monitoring system consists of a force sensing register (FSR) sensor, a signal transport device, control PC and an in-house software program The system provided stable pressure readings in all of 10 trials sensor unit reproducibility test. The largest SD of 10 mean values was about 36 gf/cm²(~2.4 % of full scale range). For 5 repeated mask setups on the phantom, the compression force variation of the mask was less than 39 gf/cm²(2.6 % of full scale range).
Results: A thermoplastic mask setup reproducibility study with six volunteers was performed to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed monitoring system. We were successful in making masks together with the monitoring system connected and demonstrated feasible utilization of the system. Various compression force variations were observed according to the location of the sensor (among forehead, both cheekbones, and chin) and each volunteers. In case of forehead and both cheekbones, the compression force was generally stable in all volunteers. However, in the chin case, the compression force was formed lower than other sites and even dropped down to zero, indicating loss of immobilization power.
Conclusion: developed monitoring system could provide information that if the appropriate compression force was maintained during the treatment. When the compression force is too weak or close to zero, the GUI of monitoring system gives a warning signal to the user. With the capability of providing a warning signal before actual variation accrued, it could improve the setup accuracy of patient with a thermoplastic mask.

To make the walls appear randomly, we'll first need to import the random module.
Next, we'll choose a random number. The range is up to you, but I'm going with 0 to 100.
...and we'll draw the wall only if the random number meets a certain condition, for example, if it is less than 50.
for x in range(16): for y in range(10): if random.randint(0, 100) < 50: wall = Actor('wall') wall.x = x * 50 + 25 wall.y = y * 50 + 25 + 50 walls.append(wall)

There is a need for a harmonised tool for sustainable resource management in Europe. The United Nations Framework Classification for Resources (UNFC) is a system that may be used for this purpose. In MINTELL4EU we aim to demonstrate if geological surveys will be able to apply UNFC, and to show if the application of UNFC will provide better harmonization of mineral resource data nationally and across Europe.
Late October 2020, MINTELL4EU had a digital workshop where eight case studies on UNFC were presented and discussed.
The findings from the workshop indicated some possibilities and challenges:
- The presented case studies showed that geological surveys can do UNFC on Raw Materials
- We are still at a starting point at establishing a more harmonised system and stricter guidelines are required. The partners in MINTELL4EU have different levels of experience in UNFC and the approach and methods on UNFC varies between the countries.
- There is a need to compare the case studies and the surveys approach to identify obstacles, data gaps and harmonization issues.
- Data availability is an issue as non-accessible data can result in less precision, and this must be taken into account when aggregating data. In addition, not all geological surveys have the responsibility or data availability to be able to classify the E- and F-axis in UNFC.
- There is a need to work on the visualisation of UNFC.

The previous post looked at User Defined Functions (UDFs) for working with vectors, including examples of functions to find the area of polygons defined by coordinates. In this post the functions will be extended to find other section properties (such as first and second moment of area), and compared with the functions presented previously in Section Properties07.xlsb. The new functions (including full open source code) can be downloaded from: SecPropV.xlsb. The new function returns up to 14 values as an array function; refer to Using Array Formulas if you are not familiar with their use.
The code used in the new functions is shown below:
For i = 1 To Num1 - 1 j = i + 1 Vect1(i, 1) = Coords(i, 1) Vect1(i, 2) = Coords(i, 2) Vect2(i, 1) = Coords(j, 1) Vect2(i, 2) = Coords(j, 2) CrosspA(i) = Vect1(i, 1) * Vect2(i, 2) - Vect1(i, 2) * Vect2(i, 1) Next i k = 1 For i = 1 To Num1 - 1 Area = Area + CrosspA(i) Next i Area = -Area / 2
First Moment of Area (about X axis):
For i = 1 To Num1 - 1 AX = AX + CrosspA(i) * (Vect1(i, 2) + Vect2(i, 2)) Next i AX = -AX / 6
Second Moment of Area (about X axis):
For i = 1 To Num1 - 1 IX = IX + (Vect1(i, 2) ^ 2 + Vect2(i, 2) ^ 2 + Vect1(i, 2) * Vect2(i, 2)) * CrosspA(i) Next i IX = -IX / 12
The full list of properties returned by the function is:
The performance of the new function is compared below with the previous version in computing the section properties of a circle defined with 1 million points on the circumference:
It can be seen that the new function (red line) has very little advantage for the area function, but the calculation of first and second moment of area is substantially faster. For both functions the calculation of section properties relative to different axes is almost instantaneous.
Details of input are shown below:
Input XY coordinates must be listed in a 2 column range, with the last point being the same as the first. Points should be listed in a clockwise direction to return a positive area. As shown in the example, a hollow shape my be analysed by entering the outer boundary in the clockwise direction, then the inner boundary in the anti-clockwise direction, finally returning to the starting point on the outer boundary along the same line.
If not all the output values are required the number to be calculated may be specified in the optional NumOut argument. Alternatively, enter -1 list the symbols for each output value in sequence, or -2 for a description of each value.
Finally, if only the area is required, the algorithm taken from the Softsurfer site is considerably faster, at about 0.25 seconds for the 1 million segment circle. An example of the Area2D and Area3D functions is shown below:
Area = 0 For i = 2 To n - 1 j = i + 1 k = i - 1 Area = Area + PointVals(i, 1) * (PointVals(j, 2) - PointVals(k, 2)) Next i Area = Area + PointVals(i, 1) * (PointVals(1, 2) - PointVals(i - 1, 2)) Area = -Area / 2

Troubled Girls: The Reasons Behind
Updated on May 26, 2010
What makes troubled girls?
 How do they become troubled? What circumstances lead to psychological damage for girls, who can otherwise have a happy life if only a pattern of guidance is developed? These are some of the questions that this article will try to answer for those who would like to understand what it means to be troubled and how it can be solved.
First before we go any further, let us define what being troubled girls really mean. Being troubled girls can refer to girls who have difficulty interacting with people diplomatically. They are bred in such a way that they do not know how to show respect or show compassion for others. This might be due to the circumstances that surround their familial environment.
This inability to show respect by troubled girls may stem from various reasons. They may have been the objects of sexual or physical abuse that led them to lose trust in other people. This may also cause them to act out and do things that most girls their age would not normally do.
Examples of Delinquent Activities
Some examples of delinquent activities that problem girls sometimes get into are as follows.
 - Shoplifting
 - Trafficking
 - Prostitution
 - Drug addiction
These are just some examples of what troubled girls may end up doing if they are not guided well. Most of the girls who end up doing these things start out as rebellious teens who did not want to be bound by rules. Perhaps because they feel that if they follow the rules, they would not be able to get what they want out of life. Because of their adventurous spirit and disregard for rules, they have the tendency to try anything they want and believe everyone that they encounter.
Because of this, girls become troubled girls. They end up being led into the wrong path. Being troubled can be defined as having a disturbed nature. This could be the result of fear or guilt that they have, which is not yet expressed. This is why troubled girls need to have guidance in their lives so that they would not end up doing something that they would regret for the rest of their lives.
How do you treat troubled girls? Psychologists would tell you that discipline would help them gain balance and simplicity in their lives. However, this discipline should come from within. The girls should be able to talk to someone whom they can trust and be open with. If they can find this trustworthy person, they would be able to open their hearts and share what they really feel about life. Maybe they are looking for someone to share their experiences.
Once you determine the root cause of the condition, you can now help these girls deal with their various problems by allowing them to take control of the situation on their own. However, this should come at its own time. You and the counselor, or the authority figure must not force the troubled girls to share their feelings right away.

How to Wire a 12 Volt Inline Fuse

How to Wire a 12 Volt Inline Fuse
Glass fuses can be used with inline fuse holders. (0812 - Fusible image by Michel Bazin from Fotolia.com)
"Inline" is a characteristic of the fuse holder and how to use a fuse, not a characteristic of the fuse. Inline fuses protect the electrical device and provide accessibility and environmental protection for the fuse. An inline fuse implies that it is fusing the target electrical device and nothing else. Inline fuse holders include wires on each end for connecting to the power source and the electrical device. Access to the fuse is often provided through a twist-lock cap. Manufacturers make different types of inline fuse holders for unique applications. As an example, clear plastic fuse holders allow an inspection of the fuse.
Cut the power-source wire from the electrical device to be fused. Use the wire-strip-and-crimp tool to strip the insulation, allowing approximately 3/8-inch of bare wire. Inspect the stripped wire to ensure that none of the copper strands were cut. Twist the copper wire, to form a tight end with no loose wires. Strip the other end of the power-source wire the same way.
Strip both ends of the inline fuse-holder wires using the same technique. Insert one end of the stripped power-source wire into the wire crimp. Using the wire-crimp tool, secure the wire to the crimp. Ensure that the crimp is over the bare wire and not the insulation. Attach one end of the inline fuse holder to the other end of the crimp. Using the wire-crimp tool, crimp this wire the same way. Repeat this process to connect the other end of the inline fuse holder to the remaining end of the power source.
Test the connections with a gentle tug and inspect to ensure there is no bare wire exposed. Check the 12-volt fuse to make sure the amperage is sufficient to protect the electrical device. Remember that the voltage of the fuse is not critical as long as it is higher than the battery. The amperage of the fuse is what provides the protection. Insert the 12-volt fuse into the fuse holder and apply power to the unit. Check to see that the fuse does not blow.
Tip
A good wire-stripping-and-crimping tool can save you hours of rework.

What is a Chairperson and what is their role?
In this article, we touch on the subject of What is a chairperson and his/her role in a community scheme.
The Chairperson: A common question in community schemes is "What is a Chairperson and what role do they fulfill?" While it sounds "prestigious", it can be a thankless job. The main roles of the Chairperson are to chair meetings and to ensure that the rest of the committee members are doing what they are supposed to do. This person thus needs to have strong skills in commanding meetings and being able to act impartially.
Going forward we will be explaining What a chairperson is and the role they play in more detail.
How is a Chairperson Elected?
Depending on your Scheme's Rules, a chairperson can generally be elected in one of two ways:
 - At the AGM (Annual General Meeting) of the Scheme when the new committee members are decided on.
 - At a Board meeting (committee meeting for a Scheme), which is normally held shortly after the AGM (Annual General Meeting).
What voting rights does the Chairperson have?
The Chairperson has an ordinary and a casting vote. The ordinary vote, which is used in the person's capacity as a committee member/ owner, and a casting vote, which is a vote that only the Chairperson can use in a meeting when having to break a deadlock. After all the votes have been cast, if the votes are tied, the casting vote will fall to the Chairperson.
Can the Chairperson be removed and how?
Depending on your Scheme's Rules, the Chairperson of Scheme can be removed in one of two ways, either:
 - by ordinary resolution (majority vote) of owners at a general meeting of the Scheme – provided that the intention to vote upon this removal has been disclosed in the notice calling the meeting, or;
 - by majority vote of the committee members at a committee meeting.
Removal of the Chairperson from the office of Chairperson does not automatically remove him/her from the office as a committee member. The intention to vote upon the removal of the Chairperson from both offices would have to be disclosed in the notice calling the SGM (Special General Meeting) for the removal to be valid.
Does the Chairperson have to be present at the meeting? No, but then the Trustees must choose a temporary Chairperson for the duration of that meeting. The temporary Chairperson has the same voting rights as a normal Chairperson.
Does the Chairperson chair every meeting held with the committee members or the owners? The Chairperson is entitled to chair every committee meeting or owners' general meeting unless otherwise decided at such meeting.
Does the Chairperson make all the decisions? It is a common misconception that the Chairperson has carte blanche over decisions of the Scheme. This is not the case as no committee members have the power to make sole decisions. All decisions pertaining to the Scheme are to be discussed amongst the committee members and then decided upon by majority resolution, unless, a specific committee member has been given a mandate on a particular portfolio to make decisions on their own within certain pre-agreed parameters.
As briefly outlined earlier in this newsletter, each committee member, including the chairman, is entitled to one vote. The only instance where the chairman will have one additional vote is if the votes cast by all the committee members result in a deadlock. Therefore, the chairman has no veto right. He does not have the ability to overrule his fellow committee members. The only power he does have is that of tie-breaker and this power is strictly reserved for committee members' resolutions. When it comes to votes cast by the members to pass ordinary, special or unanimous resolutions the chairman's vote carries the exact same weight in number as that of any other member.

- Berberis thunbergii is a small deciduous shrub from 2-8 ft. (0.6-2.4 m) tall. The thin, grooved branches have thin, straight spines. Berberis thunbergii is very shade-tolerant and can form dense stands which shade out and displace native species.
- The leaves are up to 1 in. (24 mm) long and paddle-shaped.
- The pale-yellow flowers occur in drooping clusters of 2-5 and develop in mid-spring to early summer.
- The berries ripen to a bright red color and are 0.25-0.3 in. (7-10 mm) long.
- Ecological Threat
- Berberis thunbergii invades a variety of habitats from shaded woodlands to open fields and wetlands. Berberis thunbergii is rapidly spread by birds that eat the berries thus dispersing the seeds. It is native to Asia and was first introduced into The United States in 1864 as an ornamental. It is still widely planted for landscaping and hedges.

Indexing is the process of replacing a unique identifier such as the CHI number, or a combination of identifiers such as name, date of birth and post code with a randomly assigned study ID so that records can still be linked but no explicit "real world" identifiable information about an individual is made public. The process uses probability matching of available personal identifiers to a population spine and returning an anonymised unique person identifier specific to the project. For health data where PHS is the data controller eDRIS can perform the indexing, otherwise indexing services are provided by trusted third party indexing services from National Records Scotland (NRS) Indexing Team or PHS CHI Linkage (CHILi) Team as required.
A useful image illustrating the indexing process can be found at the NRS website here.
Data for your study will be linked using established probability matching techniques based on the Howard Newcombe principles. Linkage will be undertaken by a trusted third party and a Population Spine used as an intermediary linkage tool. The Population Spine contains the personal identifiers of all individuals in Scotland who have been in contact with NHS Scotland. The steps describing the process of linking data are detailed below:
- Data Providers will supply personal identifiers (only) plus their own person or record ID number to the indexing team.
- The indexing team will probability match the identifiers to the Population Spine using complex algorithms.
- The Data Provider will receive a file back with their own person or record ID number and a unique person index ID number specific to that dataset. This is generated by the indexing team.
- The Data Provider will attached the received index ID number to the remaining content of the dataset to be provided for linkage and send to their Research Coordinator.
- The Research Coordinator will confirm that the agreed data has been received and send the file to the linkage agent. The linkage agent is an automated computer programme which carries out the linkage.
- The linkage agent will receive 2 files all the datasets and their unique person ID numbers plus a master control file containing a master person ID and all the dataset unique Person index ID numbers.
- The linkage agent will then replace all the dataset unique Person ID numbers with the master Person ID number on each of the content data files.
- This allows the person analysing the data to see all the records belonging to an individual across all the datasets without the need to see the personal identifiers.

Cultures of Care: Chris Langley looks at the ways people looked after each other in times of crisis in new book
Senior Lecturer in History, Chris Langley, has seen his latest book Cultures of Care: Domestic Welfare, Discipline and the Church of Scotland, c._PHONE_, published in Brill Publishing's St Andrews Studies in Reformation History series.
The book explores the ways in which people looked after each other in times of crisis and how the dominant Protestant Church engaged with domestic care networks across the seventeenth century. It explores themes ranging from childcare, disability and palliative care, recording intimate details of individual care arrangements, the strain it could place on families and the support they could provide in times of real crisis.
Unlike most other studies of pre-modern charity, Cultures of Care moves away from exploring the official aid handed out by churches and local councils, to analyse the arrangements people made in their homes – sometimes in secret – to help their neighbours. The book also argues that 'official' types of charity, especially that distributed by the Church, worked in tandem with domestic welfare networks to create a pervasive culture of care. Ultimately, despite Scotland having experienced a religious reformation, there were limits to the ways the new Protestant authorities could (or even wanted to) intervene in domestic affairs.
Cultures of Care builds on Langley's previous research into everyday religious life in early modern Britain and Ireland and looks at the relationship between the Church and the people.

Here at Hagley, we love inventions, big and small. So today, we turn our attention to the humble zipper, first patented on this date, April 29th, in 1913.
The first attempt to construct a modern zipper was made by Elias Howe, best known as the inventor of the modern lockstitch sewing machine. In 1851, Howe received a patent for what he called an "Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure". This forerunner to the zipper resembled an elaborate drawstring mechanism, and Howe never made any serious attempts to market it.
In 1893, however, a very similar device debuted at the Chicago World's Fair. Whitcomb Judson's patented "Clasp Locker" introduced hook and eye technology to a modified version of Howe's design, and was sold through Judson's Universal Fastener Company, to middling levels of success.
In 1906, Judson's company hired Gideon Sundback, a Swedish-American electrical engineer who would go on to improve Judson's design to create the "Separable Fastener". It was this design that we would recognize today as a traditional zipper, and which Sundback and the company patented in 1913.
It would take another 10 years and yet another company, however, to introduce the word "zipper" to the commercial public. That achievement went to the B.F. Goodrich company, who popularized its use, and even briefly copyrighted the name, in its marketing of boots and pouches featuring zipper technology, as seen here in this cover of a 1927 catalog for its line of Zipper boots.
The Goodrich Zipper Color Harmony Guide is part of Hagley Library's collection of trade catalogs and pamphlets. To save yourself the embarrassment of not having "well-groomed feet", you can go take a look at it online now in our Digital Archive - just click here!

Let $\pi$ be a permutation of the integers $0$ through $2^n-1$ (the integers that can be represented in $n$ bits). For example, $\pi$ could be used as a substitution cipher in which each plaintext block is $n$ bits long. How many possible choices of permutation $\pi$ are there? Equivalently, how many permutations are there of the first $2^n$ non-negative integers?

Please do some research before asking obvious questions, and doing that poorly: there is a typo (the first $2^n$ non-negative integers is obviously met). Also, π defined in the first sentence is not used in the second, which forms an independent question; so why include the definition of π? – fgrieu Jan 28 '14 at 7:14

A Short Comparison of Two Different Genres
Updated on May 29, 2013
Differences in an Academic Journal vs. a Personal Narrative
 - Paragraph Length
 - Sentence Length
 - Word Choice
 - Relationships with the Reader
Comparing two different genres of stories is like comparing apples and oranges. The differences are conspicuous and even a callow reader would be able to point them out. After reading two passages, Outbreaks of Food Borne Diseases in the Lazio Region, Italy: The Results of Epidemiological Field Investigations and Grouper with All the Trimmings, I've made comparisons between the genres. There are four major differences in the genres: paragraph length, sentence length, word choices, and relationships with the reader when comparing the genre of an academic journal to a personal narrative genre.
Comparing Paragraph Length
The paragraph length in the academic journal is extensive compared to that of a personal narrative. This is because in an academic journal, there are usually only one or possibly two ideas that the article would be about and the writer would go into great detail about each topic in an academic journal, making sure to cover as much information as possible so they can answer any questions that a reader might have. Because of this, the writer wouldn't need multiple paragraphs, but only a single, long paragraph for each topic that includes all the relevant information. An academic journal may have an introductory paragraph and a conclusive paragraph, but due to the nature of the writing and the type of audience that would read this genre, and introductory and conclusion paragraph isn't necessary. In a personal narrative, the writer is busy trying to convey feelings and experiences, which, as a typical human being, tends to change quickly and sometimes dramatically. Because of the erratic changing of ideas in a personal narrative, a writer would only have a small amount of information about each idea; therefore multiple paragraphs would be needed.
Comparing Sentence Length
The sentence length in the academic journal is longer than those in the personal narrative. This is due to the purpose of the two different genres. The information in the academic journal's purpose is to inform readers of factual accounts and requires support to maintain the credibility of the writer. Therefore, a writer expresses the idea and adds some extra content in order to support the idea. This is also due to the fact that a lot of the words in an academic journal (explained in the next section) are very technical and long, containing a lot of characters. In a personal narrative, the reader doesn't need proof of the story; therefore the writer can simply express their ideas and feelings without any added content, making sentences shorter. They are also able to use simpler words to make reading the story easier for the reader.
Comparing Word Choices
The word choice is one of the most obvious differences in the genres. The academic journal uses technical words; words that are considered "big" or "intelligent". These words must be used in order to demonstrate the knowledge of the writer in their particular field. The words are often scientific in nature and may require a definition or supporting argument. The personal narrative uses smaller and more relatable words so that their readers can easily indulge in the message without having to over-think the message.

Comparing the Relationships with the Reader
The relationship with the reader is another major difference in the genres. In an academic journal, the relationship with the reader is impersonal and authoritative. One could almost say that the relationship between the writer and the reader is cold and uncaring. The writer's purpose in an academic journal is simply to inform, not to connect. The writer is simply trying to promote facts and knowledge. In a personal narrative, the relationship with the reader is very personal. The writer tries to connect with the reader on an emotional level so that the reader can draw mental pictures and actually feel what is happening in the story.
Paragraph length, sentence length, word choice, and relationships with the readers are four distinct differences in the academic journal and the personal narrative. These genres have major differences because they serve different purposes. The differences are obvious to readers and help to distinguish the two genres from each other.

Fix a set $ \Gamma\subset \mathbb F_p$, the field with $p$ elements and a parameter $\epsilon>0$. The Bohr set $B(\Gamma,\epsilon)$ consists of those $x$ for which $x\cdot \Gamma\subseteq[-\epsilon p,\epsilon p]$ - I am identifying the interval with its image mod $p$. The standard lower bound for $B(\Gamma,\epsilon)$ is then $\epsilon^{|\Gamma|}p$ (which is given by the pigeon-hole principle) and this is in fact what one expects (more or less since one expects the events $x\gamma\in[-\epsilon p,\epsilon p]$ with $\gamma\in\Gamma$ to be independent trials). Since $\Gamma\subset B(B(\Gamma,\epsilon),\epsilon)$, this lower bound can miss the mark. What I want to know is if there is something about $\Gamma$ that will tell me it should have the expected size.
EDIT: I have figured out some estimates in the case that $\Gamma$ is dissociated, see below. I am wondering if one can do better in this case, or if one can be more general.
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
To some extent one can obtain upper bounds on $B(\Gamma,\epsilon)$ when $\Gamma$ is quite special. For instance, when $\Gamma$ is dissociated (which is to say, the sums $\sum_{s\in S}s$ are distinct for each $S\subset \Gamma$) then one can say something. Indeed, any dissociated set of size $d$ cannot be contained in an interval of size $\epsilon p$ if $2^d\geq d\epsilon p$ which shows that if $\epsilon< 2^d/dp$, then $B(\Gamma,\epsilon)$ consists only of the zero element. From this one can obtain bounds for larger $\epsilon$ using $|B(\Gamma,2\epsilon)|\leq 4^d|B(\Gamma,\epsilon)|$. One could also obtain bounds when $\Gamma$ is dissociated by appealing to Rudin's inequality.

If you ever go to Mallorca the first thing you'll see when you look down from the plane are windmills. When you take a bus or taxi from the airport you'll see about a million more windmills. When you google "Why does Mallorca" it autocompletes "have so many windmills?" So we're here to answer that question.
In our town of Manacor I don't think I could count how many windmills there are. In one block alone there are at least 10. The vast majorities of the windmills here and in Palma don't have their spokes/vanes/blades anymore. Also most don't have their coned top. Most look like they're falling apart like in this picture.
Even without blades or a roof they used to be windmills. And the questions are: why are there so many windmills all over Mallorca? Are they all the same? Are they still in use? How long have they been here?
How long have they been here?
The concept of windmills were probably brought over by the Romans or Moors. So a long time ago. They've changed a lot since then to have a unique Mallorcan flare. Some had a steering pole so you could change the direction to the wind. Some were painted blue and white which has become the traditional coloring of them. In the 1600s they were so important that millers got together and created a guild. The guild owned all of the repair tools so everyone had to work together (and couldn't buy their own stuff individually). This guild chose Saint Lawrence as their patron saint and some windmills have his image on them.
Some were covered in cotton or wool which made a great impression on Pope Pius IX who visited Mallorca in the 1850s/1860s. Maybe. This could just be a rumor.
Are they all the same?
No, there are 2 kinds: Flour and water windmills.
Probably the vast majority of windmills in Manacor are former flour mills. They've been written about since the 1400s. They were probably around before then (Romans/Moors probably brought them to the island) but maybe no one wanted to write about them. The ones still around probably date from between the 1600s-1800s. You can tell, the stairs are worn down severely from people walking up and down for hundreds of years.
The World Monument Fund says there used to be around 900 on the island but 200 have probably been lost – but First Mallorca says over 3,000 flour mills are on the island (this feels more accurate when you look around) 600 are considered "classical." On a short walk through Manacor we counted over 15.
The base of these mill is called the cintell and it's actually a small house. It serves as the foundation of the windmill as well as the home of the miller and his family. Most of the former flour mills in Manacor are now homes.
Some are remodeled and others are dissolving from age. When we were looking at apartments there were at least 3 listings for windmill homes. They're gorgeous, obviously with arched ceilings and intricate stone work.
Some have the coned top intact. Most still have the cylindrical stone tower above them – while others have chopped the whole tower off and continue living in the stone base. There are many guilds and groups "Friends of the Windmills" which will help you remodel your windmill at little to no cost to you. Additionally some tourist taxes have gone into remodeling the windmills.
The tower used to hold the millstones. Some of the remolded versions online have been converted into bedrooms.
The vanes were made of metal and would be covered with cotton or wood to make sails. I've never seen one that still has fabric on the sails.
People deposited their grain at the top, the wind would turn the sails which would turn a driveshaft. There were two millstones inside the tower, one was fixed and the other is connected to the driveshaft which turned with the wind. The grain would be milled into flour between the stones. As more grain is added it would push the finished product down onto ramps where it could be bagged.
In the 1890s the railway made the grain mills less important since you could just bring food anywhere on the island. According to Mallorca Incognita the last one stopped milling in 1964. 500+ years is a pretty good run for any piece of technology.
These were used to extract water from underground wells or reservoirs. This water was usually for irrigating crops.
These are the most common windmills you'll see in the Palma area. First Mallorca says there are around 2,500 water extraction windmills. They can have a platform below them but many just stand directly on the ground.
The tower can be square or rounded – the top may have angles to it. There are modern versions with metal blades (that are still in use in agricultural areas like Pla de Sant Jordi). In short there are loads of different kinds of windmills – you can see a whole list here.
The first water mill dates back to 1845. It wasn't actually made to irrigate agriculture. It was made, as Trump would say, to drain the swamp. There was a swampy bit of land and a Dutch engineer was like "I can fix that." A local man figured he could use it to actually irrigate something so he tweaked the design to have wooden blades but no real sails – called a ramell (after a flower in Catalan). Every man since then took a look at the design and made tweaks to the blades or the shapes. One was even close-able like an umbrella if it got too windy.
At the best of times they could pump 40,000 liters and hour which is way too much and ended up causing people to dig deeper and deeper each year. They were still being used until the 1970s. Three things happened almost at once that killed off the mainstream use of the water mill
- The 60s and 70s was the beginning of the tourism boom for Mallorca. Tourism began bringing more people than the island could provide water or food for. So there was a push for electric mills.
- Underground aquifers were ruined by sea water and it wasn't worth it anymore to get underground water.
- Franco died in 1975 and the whole country underwent a giant political remodel. Many people moved after his death so many mills and farms were just abandoned.
So these mills didn't last as long as the flour mills. They barely made over 100 years.
So in short why are there so many windmills all over Mallorca?
People need to eat and drink. Mills provided water to crops and mills crushed the crops into delicious flour to make bread. We didn't always have railroads or boats to bring things over and people needed to grow their own food.
The only reason you can still see them is because they're extensively (and expensively) remodeled – some say this is only done to please tourists. And some people blame the tourists for destroying the mills in the first place. If you want to be accurate: wind and water are destroying the mills which is ironic because they were designed to use wind to get water.


America's Cup 2021: Interactive explainer: Inside Team NZ's speed machine – how it all works
The boats being raced in this year's America's Cup are pushing the boundaries of both science and design.
The 75-foot foiling monohulls are unlike anything seen before in our waters and have been attracting huge interest and fanfare as they fly across the Waitematā Harbour daily.
But how exactly do these boats fly? What differences are there between Team NZ and Luna Rossa? And what are the responsibilities of each crew member?
Cheree Kinnear and AUT's Sailing Professor Mark Orams break down every inch of Team NZ and Luna Rossa's 75-foot, 7.5 tonne America's Cup boats.
The twin cantilevering foil arms, which extend out the side of the boat, provide lift and stability and are controlled by battery-powered hydraulics.
When the boats are foiling, the force of the wind on the sail is essentially trying to push the boat over on its side, so the foil in the water on the opposite side of the wind helps keeps it stable.
The other foil, if kept in the water would drag, therefore, is lifted. But because it's heavy it also helps with stability. The only time both foils are kept in the water is during a manoeuvre.
"The foils basically support the boat," Orams says. "They're around the size of an ironing board so you've got this massive yacht and all the force is supported by this very narrow foil."
The foil arms also have adjustable flaps attached to the bottom of each wing, and the flight controller's job is to control the flap's angle when foiling.
"If you think of an airplane's wings, the flaps go down to give you lift to take off and then as you take off, you'll see the pilot retract the flap as you've got enough speed that you've got to reduce the drag. It's the same principle with the main foils," says Orams.
Team New Zealand have fairly straight foils while Luna Rossa's resemble more of an inverted 'Y' shape and slant downwards to the tips.
"In aerodynamic terms that gives you more stability," Orams said. "So somehow Team NZ have figured out how to stay stable but have a really low drag set up on their foils. That tells me they must have a very sophisticated way of controlling their flaps."
Controlled by the helmsman, the rudder acts like the tail wing on a plane and is essentially a steering device.
The 'elevators' at the bottom of the rudder control the pitch of the yacht and enable stable flight -basically how much the boat flies nose up or nose down when foiling.
The rudder must work in unison with the foil arms, as Orams explains.
"If you've got them both going the same way, so both angles up, they'll both go to the sky and the boat will breach and fall to the surface. In contrast, if they're both down it'll nose dive so they have to work together."
Just like the foil arms, the larger the rudder, the more control the boat has, but once flying, the more drag it can create. The challenge is in striking the right balance.
While both teams have similar rudders, Team NZ's is the smallest.
The hull is the main body of the boat.
The unique difficulty with designing the hull of these foiling AC75's is, because it spends time both in and above the water, it needs to be built hydro-dynamically and aero-dynamically.
To achieve this balancing act, the hull needs to have enough buoyancy to take off yet be thin enough that when flying, has minimal drag.
Team NZ and Luna Rossa have relatively similar shaped hulls, in that they're arrow-shaped in design but Team NZ is much wider at the back.
"What they're trying to achieve is buoyancy in the hull by making it wide but as they present the hull to the wind direction, that it has as little profile as possible," Orams says.
"A little bit like a fighter jet.
"Luna Rossa's shape is less radical with no hard corners or bumps whereas Team NZ have a bit more of a narrow bow and boxy stern."
The other important aspect of the hull design is the shape of the keel. When the boat is at full flight, wind travelling underneath from one side of the hull to the other can create turbulence.
Extended keels, as seen on both boats, force the wind to go front to back and tunnel either side of the hull.
"It's a lot less drag and allows the boat to go faster," Orams says. "So both teams have these keels that drop from the middle of the boat that closes the gap between the water surface and the hull."
Mast & sails
Each boat must have an identical mast, but how it's installed, how much it leans and where it's positioned is up to the teams.
The sails are constructed out of carbon fibre. Team NZ and Luna Rossa both use North Sails, which are built in a mould.
The jib – being the triangular sail at the front of the boat – is single sided so when the boat goes from one tack to the other, the sail inverts in its shape onto the other side.
The mainsail, however, has two skins, and so creates a "soft wing".
"This is the engine of the yacht so how teams adjust it is huge," says Orams. "Mainsails are adjusted using hydraulics, powered by the grinders, how much power the grinders can produce determines how much adjustment the mainsail trimmer can make. And they have to be adjusted a lot for manoeuvres, puffs and lulls and they're always trying to manage the compromise between power and drag."
When it comes to race day, each team selects which sails to use based on recommendations from their meteorologist. The mainsails are selected fairly early but they leave their jib choice until much closer to the start time.
"You'll have your plan A, plan B and plan C before you even leave the dock," Orams said.
At the top of mast and front of the bowsprit, there are instruments that measure the wind strength and angle.
This provides the afterguard (helmsman and tactician) with valuable information when racing.
It also provides critical information about angle of attack, foil arm cant, pitch of the elevator and the rudder.
"They'll look at some key things such as the target of their boat speed, turn rate in manoeuvres, the speed going into a turn, through the turn and coming out and how they accelerate to get up to speed," said Orams.
"It determines where the mainsail is, the foils are adjusted to and the angle the helmsman is steering the yacht."
In basic terms, grinders use hand winches to create hydraulic power for the trimmers to adjust the sails.
To create hydraulic power, pressure needs to be created to pump hydraulic oil through pipes so the grinders ensure pressure is kept in the accumulator tanks.
"Think about it like a hot water cylinder. When filled up, you've got plenty of hot water and pressure but when you have two showers going, the pressure drops and so goes the temperature, the grinders are basically keeping the pressure up in those tanks," Orams explains.
"Without pressure, a person will essentially push a button and nothing will happen."
Both Team NZ and Luna Rossa have eight grinders, four on each side of the boat.
Flight controller
The flight controller is in charge of the foils and plays an essential part in ensuring the boat pulls off manoeuvres while foiling.
With the more traditional approach, Team NZ have thrust the role onto Blair Tuke.
Luna Rossa, on the other hand, has opted for the configuration with two helmsmen in Jimmy Spithill and Francesco Bruni, meaning both alternate in the role of flight controllers as they manage the foil control system.
Mainsail trimmer
The mainsail trimmer controls the 'engine'.
They're key to spotting changes in wind and can change the top and bottom sections of the mainsail.
But they must coordinate with the helmsman, as Orams explains.
"It's like if you were in a car and you've got one person on the steering wheel and the other with a foot on the accelerator. If they're not in sync with one another, it's really difficult," said Orams.
"They have to be like fighter pilots, very cool and calm."
The helmsman's primary responsibility is steering the boat and making decisions in manoeuvres.
He talks the team through their routines when entering a tack or gybe and the helmsman has the final say.
Team NZ has one helmsman – Peter Burling. But as mentioned above, Luna Rossa has opted to have two – Spithill and Bruni.
"The tricky thing for teams is when they change from one tack to another, how do they control the boat? Team NZ has one primary helmsman, and you want to steer the boat from the windward side. So when they go into a turn Burling ends up on the wrong side so Glenn Ashby has to steer while he crosses the back of the sail," Orams explains.
"In a new innovation, Luna Rossa have one helmsman on each side and swap between roles of steering the boat and controlling the pitch."

Confucius Institutes come under scrutiny; MSU institute responds
Jun 30, 2014
As the importance of China's influence grows, so does the need for people who understand Chinese culture and the Chinese language. To foster that sort of understanding, universities across the United States, including Michigan State University, have established Confucius Institutes.
Host universities like MSU work with the Chinese education agency Hanban to train teachers from the U.S. and China to promote Chinese language learning.
In a recent report, though, the American Association of University Professors called on schools to either scrap their partnerships or renegotiate them. The AAUP says these arrangements lack transparency and put academic freedom at risk.
Current State spoke with Joerg Tiede of the AAUP, along with Nancy Romig and Ruhui Ni, associate directors of MSU's Confucius Institute.

A junior exploration company is using land surveys from the 1870's to locate copper deposits in South Australia's historic Burra mining region.
The Australian reports that Phoenix Copper (ASX:PNX) hopes to use the old maps to uncover major copper deposits in the area around Burra, which is Australia's oldest mining town and was once the source for 10% of the world's copper
The land surveys were prepared by mine captain Robert Sanders in 1873 towards the end of Burra's heyday as one of Australia's most lucrative mining communities.
Burra first rose to prominence in the mining industry following the discovery of outcroppings of copper by two shepherds in 1845.
By 1850 the Burra region's Monster Mine was Australia's largest commercial mining operation, producing 23,000 tonnes of ore and supplying 10% of global copper.
Phoenix chief geologist Mark Manly says that despite a second period of mining activity in the 1970's the region has been little explored since the development of modern drill rigs.

If we fix a locally profinite group $G$, we note $R(G)$ the category of smooth representations of $G$, $\mathcal{E}$ the set of equivalence classes of $R(G)$, and finaly $Irr(G)$ the set of irreducible equivalence calasses. I recall that the theorem of Cantor-Bernstein says : If $E$ and $F$ two sets. If there is an injection from $E$ to $F$ and an injection from $F$ to $E$, then there is a bijection between $E$ and $F$. This enables us to define an ordering relation in the set of equipotence classes of sets : If $E$ and $F$ two sets, we note $E\leq F$ if $E$ injects in $F$.
Similarly, we define a relation $\leq$ in $\mathcal{E}$, but in general is not an ordering relation, I think that is an ordering relation if $R(G)$ is semisimple (for example, for compact locally profinite group).
If $L$ a non empty subset of $Irr(G)$, we define a $L$-minimal representation as a smooth representation $\pi$ of $G$ such that :
1) For every $\sigma\in L$, $\sigma \leq \pi$.
2) For every $\tau \in R(G)$, if $\sigma\leq\tau$ for every $\sigma\in L$, then $\pi\leq\tau$.
I ask the following questions:
Q1) An $L$-minimal representation exits?
Q2) unicity?
Q3) If $\pi$ an $L$-minimal (if there exist) representation, $dim\mathbf{Hom}_{G}(\sigma,\pi)$, where $\sigma\in L$, is minimal?
I'm interested of this question for the set $L_{k}$ of equivalence classes of irreducible supercuspidal representation of $PGL(n,F)$ with conductor=$k$.

I am not sure what $L_k$ is. So can you please give a definition. I would expect this to be a finite set, so why can you not take $\pi$ as the direct sum of $\sigma$'s? – Marc Palm Feb 27 '12 at 15:36
I mean $L_k$ is finite, since I guess you induce $GL(n, o / \p^k)$ reps there or something similar, which has only finitely many isos of reps anyway. – Marc Palm Feb 27 '12 at 15:39
How do you define your relation $\leq$? – Joël Feb 27 '12 at 18:36
I defined the set $L_{k}$ as follows : If $\pi$ is a generic irreducible representation of $GL(n,F)$, the theorem of Jaquet & Piateski-Chapiro & Shalika says : there is a positive integer $k$ such that the representation $\pi$ admits a non zero vector fixed by the compact open subgroup $\Gamma_{k}$ defined by : – Rajkarov Feb 28 '12 at 4:50
$$\Gamma_{k}=\left(\begin{array}{cccc|c} \mathcal{O}_{F}^{\times}&\mathcal{O}_{F}&\cdots&\mathcal{O}_{F}&\mathcal{O}_{F}{}\\ \mathcal{O}_{F}&\ddots&\ddots&\vdots&\vdots\\ \vdots&{}&\ddots&\mathcal{O}_{F}&\vdots{}\\ \mathcal{O}_{F}&\cdots&\mathcal{O}_{F}&\mathcal{O}_{F}^{\times}&\mathcal{O}_{F}{}\\ \hline \mathcal{P}_{F}^{k}& \cdots & \cdots &\mathcal{P}_{F}^{k}&\mathcal{O}_{F}^{\times}\\ \end{array}\right)$$ – Rajkarov Feb 28 '12 at 4:53

Here are some observations, too long for a comment:
1) Note that cuspidal irreducible representation are compactly induced
$\sigma = c-ind_K^G \tau = Ind_K^G \tau$
2) You have the second adjointness theorem (proposition on pg. 20 Bushnell-Henniart "Local Langlands for GL(2)".)
$Hom_G( c-ind_K^G \tau, \pi) = Hom_K( \tau, Res_K \pi)$
3) Silberger PGL(2) over the $p$ adics assect that $Res_K \pi$ is essentially $Ind_{B(o)}^{GL(2, o)} 1$ except for a finite dimensional part. I expect this to be true for $GL(n)$.
Hence classify the $\tau$ needed for $L_k$ ( I am not sure what your definition is here). $Res_K \pi$ has been described for cuspidal $\pi$ (Bushnell-Kutzko).
In fact, I think that the supercuspidal representation form a semisimple category, so there the question might really reduce to something trivial, very much like for profinite groups. (profinite groups are actually exactly the compact locally profinite groups;)

Your group has compact center (in fact trivial center). So supercuspidal representation indeed form a semi-simple category, as pm said (see _URL_ pg. 22-25, 36).
Your Set $L_k$ is finite set of irreducible representations. So the representation that you are looking for is the direct sum of all the representations in $L_k$
share|improve this answer
More precisely, this comes from the fact that (since the center is compact) supercuspidal representations are projective and injective objects of the category of smooth representations. – Paul Broussous Feb 28 '12 at 7:55

There are many plugins which enhance registration options, but I have seen none which allow for users to be automatically sorted into different usergroups upon registration, based on custom criteria.
The native settings currently allow for the all new registrants to be placed into a certain role, initially. My knowledge of PHP is beginner level, but it seems much of like this would be easy to do, since many of the basic functions already exist.
- If registration email contains user-defined criteria, then filter into certain user group automatically. Highly useful if you say, wanted to have a student usergroup for large numbers of students. Upon registering with an activation link from a.edu email, they are sorted as such. Numerous other applications apply
Add a single field to registration form, which allows for any possible sorting profile based on an alphanumeric value entered in this field.
- The option to turn a single field, lets call it "referral code", on during registration.
- User then specifies rules for sorting new registrants into different user roles (would be incredible if this could hook up with the capabilities of plugins like
to create a rule which says something like:
- If referral code contains the string "AT2", then place into "X" usergroup, which has the ability to view content restricted (by currently existing plugins) to groups X,D,and R.
Another way to add powerful functionality for sites which require a lot of automated user management and categorization would be to add a means of easily adding custom profile fields to user's profile. These fields could be hidden to public, or visible to public.
This would then be combined with user defined rules which modify this information in user's profiles. For example:
- If X radio button value was selected during registration, and Y checkmark was selected, then add a note saying "Z" to that user's profile, and make this note hidden to public, and the user.

Why ARIS Media Streamer can't stream YouTube videos
It's the same story with many streaming media apps.
They're designed to play video on your TV or desktop, but you're still using your TV's built-in streaming device to stream your video.
But ARIS has a feature that lets you stream video directly to your TV via your phone, iPad, and other smart devices.
When you do that, ARIS automatically turns on your device's video stream, so you don't have to.
ARIS Streamer lets you: Start a video stream.
Play and pause video.
Stream and record video.
Play video clips.
Play a video and audio clip.
Download video clips or clips from your favorite video app.
Browse video clips and audio clips.
Select from hundreds of audio and video clips in the ARIS library.
Start a new video stream: Start your video stream by pressing a button on your ARIS device.
If you have an app that has a video app, you can use ARIS's feature to start your stream directly from that app.
Start your ARis video stream with ARIS Replay mode: When you start your ARIstream stream, you'll see a small "Start Replay" box on the top of your ARIAccess bar.
Select it and your stream will start playing right away.
The app will pause when you close it, and the ARI stream will resume when you open it again.
It will also stop playing once you close the ARIAcess bar.
You can pause your stream to watch another video in your ARIEccess bar: Select the "Pause" button on the bottom right of your stream and then press the button to start playing the next video.
Once you're done playing a video, you should see the ARIs Replay button in the top right corner.
It'll display the current video playback time and playback progress.
To stop the playback, select the "Stop" button from the bottom left.
ARIAuth bar: When the ARIEcess bar is full, you need to open the ARISAccess bar to continue playing your video or audio clips or video clips from other apps.
To open the bar, press the left or right arrow buttons on your home screen.
You'll see an ARIAuthority bar on the left side of the screen.
Tap it to open it.
You will be prompted to enter your email address and password to authorize your account.
Tap the "Authorize" button to authorize ARIS for the video stream or audio stream you just started.
You need to use this authorization to start the video or to play a clip from another app on your phone.
You won't be able to pause your ARIs video stream if you don�t have the video app on the device, so check out our video streaming guide to learn how to use ARIs in a variety of video apps.
Play audio clips from an ARI video: If you're playing a clip in a video on another device, you will need to enable the "play audio clips" option.
Once that's done, you must enter the audio clip ID or audio clip name of the audio file that you want to play in the video, and you must press the right or left arrow buttons to play the audio.
You don't need to have the audio player open to start a playback.
To play the video you just played, you have to press the play button again on the right side of your screen.
To pause the playback of a video clip or audio file, you just need to press either the pause button on top of the video screen or the pause arrow on the video player.
You cannot pause playback in the middle of a playback or record video in the right hand bar.
If your ARISE stream is playing an audio clip, you won't see any audio in the left hand bar, so don't worry about that.
You still need to listen for the "start replay" notification.
You also have to wait for the start replay notification to appear.
When the start Replay notification appears, press and hold the button on ARIaccess bar and wait for it to appear on the screen (press the button again if it doesn't appear).
Then press the start button on video player or pause button in video player and continue playing.
If the start play button doesn't display, press both buttons on video or pause player and wait a few seconds for it again to appear in the screen and then play the start video.
When your video is over, press either pause button or start button in ARIS and the video will pause.

When does your Netflix subscription expire?
When will my Netflix subscription be up for renewal?
The most popular streaming media service for the masses, Netflix, is currently available on nearly half of the world's devices, including Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Roku, and others.
The streaming service has grown in popularity as more people embrace their gadgets and the devices themselves, and is now available on more devices than ever before.
With the advent of the next-generation Apple TV and Apple TV Stick, Netflix is now on more than half of U.S. homes.
On October 5, Netflix will start its new subscription year with a two-week window to renew its membership, which ends on October 21.
The service will also begin its new streaming box-style subscription for the first time in the U.K. in September.
However, the streaming service is only available to Apple TV owners and Apple devices with iOS 6 or later.
The first-year subscription lasts two weeks.
In the U, the first-time subscription costs £29.99, and it can be cancelled anytime for an extra £15.99.
On top of the two-day renewal window, the service will continue to be available on iOS devices for five days after its end.
Netflix also recently announced that it will add a new way to pay for the service: a payment plan that allows users to make one-off payments of up to £15 a month for unlimited access to all of its shows, movies, and music, as well as a free trial period.
The new plan, dubbed the Netflix One Plus, will launch this fall in the UK, and in the coming weeks in the US and Germany.
Netflix said it is looking to build on its existing one-time-only streaming plan for its members, adding that it would like to expand to new countries.
What is Netflix subscription?
Netflix's membership model is unique among streaming media companies.
Users pay a monthly fee for access to the service.
However the monthly subscription does not come with a single set price, which is the way most of the major streaming services operate.
Instead, subscribers pay a fixed price based on their devices, which Netflix calls "the tier."
Each Netflix subscriber can have up to two Netflix streaming devices and can watch a limited number of movies and TV shows on those devices.
Users can also subscribe to multiple devices at the same time, or they can buy individual subscriptions for individual devices.
Netflix offers a single subscription for £9.99 per month, with access to 100 hours of video a month.
Each month, the monthly fee is based on the number of devices the subscriber has and the number hours they can watch each month.
If the subscriber wants to watch more, they can upgrade to a subscription that offers a higher-end price of up for £19.99 a month or more for unlimited hours of streaming.
The cost of the monthly Netflix membership is also determined by the device used to access the service, which in most cases is an Apple TV or Apple TV Pro.
The company also offers a subscription-based video service called Netflix Ultra.
However it is currently limited to U.k. customers and only available for Apple devices running iOS 6.9 or later and on Apple TV 4.7 or later or later, or Android smartphones running Android 4.4 or later (for a limited time).
Netflix also offers an Apple-branded streaming device called the "Netflix Box."
Netflix also sells the Roku TV.
For the moment, Netflix's streaming service in the United States is limited to Apple devices.
It's unclear whether Netflix plans to offer streaming devices in other countries, such as India and Brazil.
Will Netflix renew its subscription?
At this time, Netflix hasn't announced if it plans to extend its subscription period.
However there are indications that the streaming giant is considering the possibility of a new model for its streaming service.
The most recent round of talks between Netflix and Amazon to expand its streaming services in India and South Africa came to an end last week, according to The Wall Street Journal.
However Netflix still has to sign a contract with its existing subscribers in those countries before it can move forward with the deal.
Netflix will also have to make a decision about its future

Abstract: Crime represents a substantial development challenge in the Caribbean region. In Trinidad and Tobago, crime is a high priority issue that consumes public and government attention. Consequently, the government is confronted with increasing pressure to implement effective policy to respond to the escalating crime. This paper attempts to explore the changing nature and trends in crime in Trinidad and Tobago. It particularly focuses on the upsurge in violent (serious) crimes, with special emphasis on homicides and its 'juvenisation'. The paper also discusses the implications of these demographic changes and proposes appropriate crime reduction strategies.

The Missing Hotkeys (that you made anyway)
Often, there's no hotkey for something, but a sequence of existing hotkeys will do the same thing. I'm talking about keyboard macros. You map a hotkey to rapidly do a bunch in order. I use BetterTouchTool on Mac and Autohotkey on Windows.
Move to top of _______
I have 10 items I use as buckets, and moving items to them is assigned to command 0-9
 1. Move item
 2. 0.05s delay
 3. Paste text "_______"
 4. 0.1s delay
 5. Return
Move item from top of list to bottom of list
This will essentially cycle a sublist, letting you read each item but procrastinate the ones you cannot deal with to the bottom
 1. Move item up
 2. Unindent
 3. Move item down
 4. Indent
 5. Go to parent
 6. Move cursor down
Speak item with Speech Synthesis
 1. Select all (this just selects the text in the item)
 2. (MacOS "Start Speaking" hotkey (I recommend picking one of the Siri voices set at 200%))
Go to root of document
 1. Go to parent
 2. Go to parent
 3. Go to parent
 (repeat 10 times or however deep your deepest nodes are)
Create a note and a wikilink to the note in one go
this is basically what Obsidian does with [[new note]] when you click it
 1. Copy link to Note
 2. Go to end of item
 3. Enter
 4. Paste
 5. Go to start of item
 6. Up
 7. Move item
 8. Paste "The deep item you want to store all your new wikilinked notes in"
 9. Enter
 10. Enter
4 Likes
For Linux: Autokey
Could you expand a little one your last example?
Some topics are big, so I don't like the nested list taking up the visual space in my main work area, so I link to the node instead. The hotkey transforms the text into a link to a new node, buried somewhere else. Same idea as linking a non-existant page in Notion or Obsidian, but I wanted the same paradigm in Dynalist too. As you can see the link has no child nodes, so it doesn't take up much visual space in the main area when I expand-all.

An efficient polynomial interpolation method is proposed to reduce the computational burden of the coregistration of synthetic aperture radar images in interferometric processing. The method can be viewed as an application of the Farrow interpolator technique and requires a series of 2-D fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). Mainly, it has two advantages relative to the usual coregistration procedure. First, it does not require to compute or store in memory any kernel sample. Second, it involves less floating-point operations than the conventional coregistration, with a clear advantage if the image needs to be oversampled. The efficiency of the method is based on the fact that the complexity of one 2-D FFT is much smaller than the complexity of one spatial convolution. These advantages are demonstrated by both analyzing the interpolation procedure itself and by defining an efficient code implementation.


Statistics Dictionary
Select term:
T Score
The term t score has different meanings in different settings:
 - In introductory statistics, t score is often used synonomously with t statistic.
 - In psychometrics, a t score is a type of standard score computed by multiplying a z-score by 10 and adding 50.
 - In bone density tests, a t score compares bone mineral density to a reference mean.
Often, the meaning is clear from the context. In educational research, the psychometric definition generally applies. In papers on osteoporosis, the bone density definition is probably the intended definition.
Sometimes, though, the meaning is not clear. Some statistics texts use the term to mean "t statistic". Others use the psychometric definition.
To avoid confusion, the Stat Trek website avoids the term "t score". It uses "t statistic", instead.

Martin Römer had new facilities built for the Latin school that was first mentioned in 1383. Römer was a multi-talented man who acted as a councillor, foreign tradesman, mining entrepreneur and patron of the urban community.
In the 16th century, important personalities such as Georgius Agricola, Stefan Roth, Leonhard Natter and Petrus Plateanus lectured at the Latin school. They were all in close contact with the Wittenberg reformers. The Zwickau Latin school had been renowned for its excellent humanistic approach to education since the 15th century, and its reputation went far beyond the town's boundaries.
In 1876, the new Art Society building was constructed on this site, which has been home to the Galerie am Domhof since 1978.


7.15.2020 - Improved Assessment Workflow for Helpers
We have a feature called Seeker Context that allows Helpers to navigate on behalf of specific Seekers. When in Seeker Context, the main benefit to the Helper is that all referral forms are autofilled with the Seeker's information. This saves them time and decreases the likelihood of creating a duplicate profile.
After an Assessment is submitted, we show programs that can help meet any needs that were identified so that Seekers can be connected. Those search results are specific to the Seeker so it makes sense that Helpers would be put into Seeker Context following an Assessment, so that they can easily make referrals for the Seeker. Now, when a Helper fills out an Assessment for a Seeker, they will be put into Seeker Context when viewing search results (Highlighted Search and Program Recommendation Summary).
Additionally, in the Forms section of the Seeker Profile, Helpers can view search results generated by past Assessments to make additional referrals. Now, when Helpers click "See Search" they will also be put into Seeker Context so that they can easily make referrals to those programs.
With these changes, it becomes even easier to make referrals and connect your Seekers to the programs they need!

text: This video highlights one of the problems facing London's urban waterways. Shot on the Silk Stream at Rushgrove Park in Colindale. The stream flows into the Brent Reservoir, then into the River Brent, before running into the River Thames upstream of central London. Although this leak had stopped last time I was there, London's waterways suffer from pollution from breaks in the sewer system and particularly from residents illegally plumbing their domestic sewer systems into storm drains that run straight into the rivers. This is probably something that the local authorities and the Environment Agency should be doing more to combat.
