The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) said it has deployed a second wave buoy in Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, installed as part of Hawaiʻi Natural Energy Institute's (HNEI) efforts to test in-water wave energy conversion devices at the U.S. Navy Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) in Kāneʻohe.
Significant wave height and energy period derived from the wave buoys are essential parameters to evaluate the power performance of wave energy conversion devices. To ensure continuous data availability, the Kāneʻohe WETS wave buoy was installed in addition to the existing Kāneʻohe Bay wave buoy to provide measurement redundancy.
The Kāneʻohe WETS wave buoy measures wave height, period, direction, and sea surface temperature in 30 minute intervals. All data is available on the PacIOOS website and on PacIOOS Voyager.
Data are managed by the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Long-term partnerships with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and CDIP enable data streaming.

At Matar Campus the day was marked with yoga techniques in collaboration with Swasthi Academy in which their Yoga Guru Shino Mathew assisted the students to stretch and relax in order to explore the mechanics of life. Principal Mr M.P.Philip and Headmistress Mrs ShailajaKrishnaKumar and Mrs. Asha Shiju propelled the students about the importance of disciplined life through the practice of both Yoga and Music.


Edit Article
Countries across the world craft objects, jewelry, furniture and more based on their own customs, culture and history. If you are interested in buying crafts from a country different from your own, then you have a number of options in your town and across the world. You may also choose to buy crafts from third world countries in order to support fair trade. Buying fair trade crafts helps to prevent low wages and unfair working conditions. There are some guidelines you should follow to ensure you are buying from a country that is benefiting from your purchase. You may need to do a little Internet research to ensure you are buying the crafts you prefer. Read on to find out how to buy crafts from third world countries.
 1. 1
 Research fair trade organizations. There are a number of non-profit companies that choose to keep consumers up to date about fair trade options. These include fairtraderesource.org, chfinternational.org, and fair trade organizations of specific countries, such as fta.org.au.
 2. 2
 Decide if you want to buy crafts from a specific country. For example, you may admire the bamboo furniture from Malaysia or carvings from Africa. Search for a non-profit organization that tells you where to find shops that sell that country's goods.
 - For example, there is a Bangladesh cooperative that represents 60,000 artisans.
 3. 3
 Go to eBay or Overstock. Both of these websites have acquired companies that previously sought to promote fair trade crafts. Ebay acquired World of Good, and you can buy handcrafted gifts from third world countries at worldofgood.ebay.com.
 - Overstock.com provides a fair trade site, called _URL_-Fair-Trade. You can find anything from jewelry to furniture and more.
 4. 4
 Search for local stores that specialize in fair trade crafts. Most mid to large-sized cities have a few fair trade stores. You can often find the stories behind the manufacturers of the crafts.
 - Ask the store how they acquired the crafts. The best way to tell if you are buying from a certified fair trade, third world craft carrier is to ask how the crafts were acquired.
 5. 5
 Visit world craft museums, such as The Museum of Craft and Folk Art or the Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco. These museums fill their gift shops with crafts that are well-crafted and distinctive. Check the museum websites for crafts that can be bought online.
 6. 6
 Visit summer markets in your town. People who have emigrated from other countries often stock booths filled with their home country's crafts. Peruvian alpaca crafts are common at summer craft markets.
 7. 7
 Visit a third world country and buy the crafts straight from the source. While this is the most expensive option, it is the best way to ensure you are buying straight from a craftsman. Research craft workshops where you can visit and buy directly after viewing the creation of the crafts.
 - For example, in St. Kitts there is a batik factory where the batiks are made and then sold. In Peru, you can visit an alpaca farm where yarn is created, died, woven and sold.
Things You'll Need
 - Summer markets
 - Internet research
 - Fair trade shops
 - Trip abroad

Why you should never paint Office walls White
In a study from the University of Texas, researcher Nancy Kwallek tested the impact of color on productivity by giving three groups of people clerical tasks to complete in three different rooms, each painted a different color: red, white, and aqua. Some individuals, which Kwallek calls high-screeners, were able to block out the color "noise" of their surroundings, while others, low-screeners, were affected by it. The high-screeners had no difficulty working in the red room, while low-screeners tended to be distracted by the color. Both groups, however, made more errors when they worked in the white room.

text: Metal gaskets have been used in bolted flanged connections under higher pressure and higher temperature conditions. However, it is difficult to estimate the sealing performance of the metal contact interfaces in the connections. Thus, it is necessary to study on the sealing characteristics of the metal to metal contact gasket in the connections under higher internal pressure and higher temperature. In this study, firstly, the sealing behavior test taking into account load history is carried out in detail using metal flat gaskets according to JIS B2490. Secondly, to examine the effect of the gasket contact area and surface roughness of metal gasket on the sealing behavior of metal-metal contact, the sealing behavior test is carried out using metal flat gaskets which has several types of gasket width and surface roughness. Thirdly, the amount of leakage is measured for bolted flanged connections with metal flat gaskets. The relationship between the gasket contact stress and the leak rate is obtained. Furthermore, the contact gasket stress distributions in the connection are analyzed using FEM stress analysis. Using the obtained gasket stress distribution, the sealing performance is estimated taking into account the gasket contact area and surface roughness of the metal flat gasket. The estimated result is compared with the measured results. In the results, the effect of the yield stress and the plastic deformation of the gasket surface are found to be important on the sealing mechanism.

text: Atomic force microscopy is widely employed for imaging material at the nanoscale. However, real-time measures on image reliability are lacking in contemporary atomic force microscopy literature. In this article, we present a real-time technique that provides an image of fidelity for a high bandwidth dynamic mode imaging scheme. The fidelity images define channels that allow the user to have additional authority over the choice of decision threshold that facilitates where the emphasis is desired, on discovering most true features on the sample with the possible detection of high number of false features, or emphasizing minimizing instances of false detections. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of fidelity imaging.

Closing the tax loopholes: A Buffett rule for Australia
by Matt Grudnoff
The report examines merits of a "Buffet rule" for Australia. The rule is named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who commented that his secretary should not pay a higher average rate of tax than he does.
This paper is the first in a series of policy proposals that would not only reduce Australia's budget deficit, but do so in a fairer and more equitable way than the measures rejected by the Senate.
The idea of the Buffett Rule is to charge a minimum average rate of tax on very high income households based on their total income. This applies to their income before they go through the process of making tax deductions. This would mean that if very high income households are able to make large deductions to reduce their taxable income to low levels they would still pay a reasonable amount of tax based on their total income.

Making of a 360 Surgical Training Experience. Ten things you should know!
When you are learning surgery through observation, it is not just about learning the steps. It is about learning the whole experience of what goes in and around the operative area.
Surgery is a symphony of so many acts in synchrony. The surgeon, the anesthesiologist, the scrub nurse, the imaging assistant, the different devices around and of course, in the centre of everything, the patient.
Such an experience is hardly captured when we witness a video of the closeup of the surgical area.
With this thought in mind, we got the opportunity to create a few 360 learning experiences. The first was about an advanced cardiac procedure by shooting it with a 360 camera Insta Pro. What came out was a great experience which was taken by cardiologists globally. This experience not only took the cardiologists to a cath lab but also gave them graphical information about the procedure steps one after the other.
Dr Pushkar
Creating such educational experience is a highly specialized procedure. It is not as straightforward as just placing the 360 camera and capturing the content. We had some good learning from such projects, which I would like to share here.
 1. A detailed recce of the operation theatre environment is needed before the actual shoot. The exact camera position needs to be finalized so that it does not interfere with the surgery in progress and at the same time does not compromise on the view of the surgical area.
 2. The lighting of the OT is important. The ambient light and the overhead lights on the surgical field can conflict with each other to produce a sharp contrast and may disturb your output. The same goes with any bright light from the widows if any.
 3. A good orientation of the surgeon in charge is very important. The surgeon needs to be mindful of the fact that unlike in a 2D camera shoot, everything in the environment is being captured. Hence, everyone in the operating room must be aware when a capture is in progress. The entire surgical team must be oriented about the shoot. Only the needed personnel should ideally be present in the OR. Else, the viewer may have a disturbed experience due to the crowd in the environment.
 4. The director of the shoot should be aware of the steps of the surgery and what is important. The director must know when to tell the camera person to start and stop capture. The 360 high resolution cameras like the Insta Pro get heated up and go on a standby after every 10 to 20 minutes of active capture. Hence, it becomes even more important to pace the capture with respect to the important elements of the surgery.
 5. The surgeon should be given a wireless microphone for live recording of the steps. The surgeon should be guided how to prompt the director about the exact step being performed.
 6. A separate scripted voice over must be recorded for the final output and it is not advisable to use the live conversation during the shoot as the voice over.
 7. While editing the stitched output, a low-resolution version of the outputs is to be used as proxy, which are later to be replaced by the expected resolution after the final edit is done.
 8. While overlaying any graphical elements over the 360 footage, the resolution and position of the graphic elements should be tested well. Else, the attention of the user may be diverted.
 9. The user experience should be meticulously designed so that the viewer does not miss out on important elements in the surgery due to distractions in the environment.
 10. The surgical learning experience should not exceed 15 minutes. Else. there is a risk of the VR device being heated up and a break in the experience flow.
Creation of such surgical 360 experiences is gaining momentum. There is a need to give an actual on-field experience to the surgeons, medical students and all the stakeholders who are involved in understanding the latest advances in the surgical solutions, which can be provided with this immersive and portable experience.

Debugging Memory Issues with Open vSwitch DPDK
Debugging Memory Issues with Open vSwitch DPDK
This article is about debugging out-of-memory issues with Open vSwitch with the Data Plane Development Kit (OvS-DPDK). It explains the situations in which you can run out of memory when using OvS-DPDK and it shows the log entries that are produced in those circumstances. It also shows some other log entries and commands for further debugging.
When you finish reading this article, you will be able to identify that you have an out-of-memory issue and you'll know how to fix it. Spoiler: Usually having some more memory on the relevant NUMA node works. It is based on OvS 2.9.
As is normal with DPDK-type applications, it is expected that hugepage memory has been set up and mounted. For further information see set up huge pages.
The next step is to specify the amount of memory pre-allocated for OvS-DPDK. This is done using the Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB). In the case below, 4GB of huge-page memory is pre-allocated on NUMA node 0 and NUMA node 1.
# ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch. other_config:dpdk-socket-mem=4096,4096
The default is 1GB for NUMA 0 if dpdk-socket-mem is not specified.
Now, let's look at the times when we can run out of memory.
You can run out of memory when DPDK is initialized, which happens when ovs-vswitchd is running and the OVSDB entry dpdk-init is set to true.
A useful log entry to watch for during initialization is this:
|dpdk|INFO|EAL ARGS: ovs-vswitchd -c 0x1 --socket-mem 4096,4096
This will confirm that the dpdk-socket-mem you thought you were setting was actually set and passed to DPDK (thus avoiding the embarrassment of someone else pointing out that your scripts were wrong).
The most likely way to run out of memory during initialization is that huge page memory was not set up correctly:
|dpdk|INFO|EAL: 32 hugepages of size _PHONE_ reserved, but no mounted hugetlbfs found for that size
Another way is that you are requesting too much memory:
|dpdk|ERR|EAL: Not enough memory available on socket 0! Requested: 32768MB, available: 16384MB
Or you request none at all:
|dpdk|ERR|EAL: invalid parameters for --socket-mem
All these issues can be fixed by correctly setting up huge pages and requesting to pre-allocate an appropriate amount.
Adding a Port or Changing the MTU
These situations are grouped together because they can both result in a new pool of buffers being requested for a port. Where possible, these pools of buffers will be shared and reused, but that is not always possible due to differing port NUMA nodes or MTUs.
For new requests, the size of each buffer is fixed (MTU-based) but the number of buffers can be variable and OvS-DPDK will retry for a lower number of buffers if there is not enough memory for initial requests.
When DPDK cannot provide the requested memory to any one of the requests, it reports the following:
|dpdk|ERR|RING: Cannot reserve memory
While that may look serious, it's nothing to worry about because OvS handles this and simply retries for a lower amount. If however, the retries do not work then the following will be in the log:
|netdev_dpdk|ERR|Failed to create memory pool for netdev dpdk0, with MTU 9000 on socket 0: Cannot allocate memory
This case is an issue for functionality.
 - If you were adding a port, it will not be usable.
 - If you were changing the MTU, the MTU change fails but the port will continue to operate with the previous MTU.
How can you fix these errors? The general guide would be just to give OvS-DPDK more memory on the relevant NUMA node, or stick with a lower MTU.
Starting a VM
It doesn't seem obvious why you would run out of memory when starting a VM, as opposed to when you are adding a vhost port for it (previous section). The key is vhost NUMA reallocation.
When a VM is started, DPDK checks the NUMA node of the memory shared from the guest. This may result in requesting a new pool of buffers from the same NUMA node. But of course, there might be no memory pre-allocated with dpdk-socket-mem on that NUMA node, or else there might be insufficient memory left.
The log entry would be similar to the add port/change MTU cases:
|netdev_dpdk|ERR|Failed to create memory pool for netdev vhost0, with MTU 1500 on socket 1: Cannot allocate memory
The fix for this is having enough memory on the relevant NUMA node, or changing the libvirt/QEMU settings so VM memory is from a different NUMA node.
Runtime, Adding a Port, or Adding Queues
Didn't we already cover adding a port? Yes, we did; however, this section is for when we get a requested pool of buffers, but some time later that proves to be insufficient.
This might be because there are many ports and queues sharing a pool of buffers and by the time some buffers are reserved for Rx queues, some are in flight processing and some are waiting to be returned from Tx queues, so there just aren't enough buffers to go around.
For example, the log entries when this occurs while using a physical NIC could look like this:
|dpdk|ERR|PMD: ixgbe_alloc_rx_queue_mbufs(): RX mbuf alloc failed queue_id=0
|dpdk|ERR|PMD: ixgbe_dev_rx_queue_start(): Could not alloc mbuf for queue:0
|dpdk|ERR|PMD: ixgbe_dev_start(): Unable to start rxtx queues
|dpdk|ERR|PMD: ixgbe_dev_start(): failure in ixgbe_dev_start(): -1
|netdev_dpdk|ERR|Interface dpdk0 start error: Input/output error
For vhost ports, buffers are not reserved but you could see at runtime that you cannot get a new buffer while polling vhost ports. The log entry could look like this:
|dpdk(pmd91)|ERR|VHOST_DATA: Failed to allocate memory for mbuf.
If all the ports are needed, the easiest way to resolve this is to reduce the numbers of Rx queues or reserved buffers for the physical NICs. This can be done with the following command:
# ovs-vsctl set Interface dpdk0 options:n_rxq=4
or with this command:
# ovs-vsctl set Interface dpdk0 options:n_rxq_desc=1024
Alternatively, memory could be increased to ensure that a large pool of buffers will be available (that is, avoiding retries for lower amounts) but that approach scales only so far.
Further Debugging
If you run out of memory, there will be an error message in the log. If you want further details about the pools of memory being allocated, reused, and freed, you can turn on debug mode:
# ovs-appctl vlog/set netdev_dpdk:console:dbg
# ovs-appctl vlog/set netdev_dpdk:syslog:dbg
# ovs-appctl vlog/set netdev_dpdk:file:dbg
Allocated, reused, and freed messages will look like this:
|netdev_dpdk|DBG|Allocated "ovs_mp_2030_0_262144" mempool with 262144 mbufs
|netdev_dpdk|DBG|Reusing mempool "ovs_mp_2030_0_262144"
|netdev_dpdk|DBG|Freeing mempool "ovs_mp_2030_0_262144"
The name of the pool of buffers (that is, mempool) gives us some information:
2030 : Padded size of the buffer (derived from MTU)
0 : NUMA node the memory is allocated from
262144 : Number of buffers in the pool
There is also a command to show which mempool a port is using, as well as lots of other details (not shown):
# ovs-appctl netdev-dpdk/get-mempool-info dpdk0
mempool _USER_
If you have read to here, it probably means you've hit an issue with OvS-DPDK. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, after reading the above guide you'll be able to identify if the issue was due to running out of memory and you'll know how to fix it.
Some guidance on how much memory is required and how to configure OvS-DPDK for multi-NUMA (including dpdk-socket-mem) can be found in the OVS-DPDK: How much memory and OVS-DPDK: Multi-NUMA articles on this blog.

How an incident's due date is calculated
Answer ID 2215 | Last Review Date 01/03/2020
What is an incident's relative due date (incidents.rel_due) and how is it calculated?
Service Level Agreements, Response Time
When an incident is created, an initial due date is calculated. This value only changes when the response requirements associated with the incident are changed due to the application of a service level agreement (SLA) or if the RECALC_INCIDENT_DUE configuration is set.
The relative due date is calculated by taking the incident's time of creation and adding the response time (from response requirements) associated with the incident. In addition, the due date takes into account the work hours that are configured in the Default Response Requirements table or the hours configured in the applied SLA.
For example if RECALC_INCIDENT_DUE is set to 0, the incident's response time is 45 minutes and the incident comes into the system at 9:00am on 10/10/07, the due date will be 10/10/07 at 9:45. This value does not change regardless of customer updates to the incident and/or additional responses. The value only changes if the response requirements change.
Similarly, if the work interval is configured to be 8:00 to 17:00 on Monday through Friday, and the response requirement is 540 minutes (9 hours). If an incident comes in at 3:00pm on Friday, the date due will be 3:00pm on Monday because the work intervals are taken into account when calculating the date due.
When incidents are created outside of business hours, the time the incident remained in the queue until the business hours begin is not counted against the due date. For example: Business hours are M-F 8:00 to 17:00. The response time is three hours. An incident submitted on Saturday at 15:00 would be due Monday, 11:00 am.
Note that the Resolution Time that is configured for the response requirements or an SLA is never used in calculating the date due value. Both the Response Time and the Resolution Time are based on the created time stamp of when the incident is initially created in the system.
For examples of when the RECALC_INCIDENT_DUE is enabled, see Answer ID 4729: Description of RECALC_INCIDENT_DUE configuration setting

Problem with Vector Size
ProtocolProtocol Cincinnati
Hi, I'm supposed to write a program that goes through a matrix line by line and if it finds anything stores the column number of the 1 in a vector, if it finds nothing zero is supposed to be stored in that place. IF there's nothing in the entire row, an empty vector is to be stored that is 0 x 0 in length, that's the catch. I've written code that looks for anything on a line and stores it, but I can't get the code to store a 0 x 0 length empty vector for empty rows. I even go back through the code and set the relevant lines equal to [], but it doesn't give me a 0 x 0 vector, it yields a 1 x 0 vector. Can anyone help me to solve this?
function out = logipack(V)

 The problem here is that the code produces a 1 x 0 empty vector if the line is all zeroes and not a 0 x 0 empty vector.

Peg and hole puzzle: Solution
Share this page
Peg and hole puzzle: Solution
Which gives a tighter fit: a square peg in a round hole or a round peg in a square hole? (The tighter fit is the one for which the ratio of peg area to hole area is greater.)
Solution
Consider the following picture:
key
Suppose that the side length of the large square is $a,$ so its area is $a^2.$ Then the circle has radius $a/2,$ so its area is $\pi a^2/4.$ By Pythagoras' theorem the small square has side length $\sqrt{a^2/2}$ so it's got area $a^2/2.$ The square peg in round hole fit is given by the ratio of the area of the small square to the area of the circle, which is $2/\pi.$ The round peg in square hole fit is given by the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the large square, which is $\pi/4.$ Since $\pi > 3$ we have $\pi^2>8$ so $\pi > 8/\pi.$ Dividing by 4 gives $\pi/4 > 2/\pi$ so the round peg in a square hole gives the better fit.

Couldn't you also consider this problem from the direction of a pressure fit?
In this case, if the height of each peg is the same then the "pressure fit" is equal for both the rectangular prism and the cylindrical hole described above.
A peg is a cylinder with a height, h. The peg would contact the sides of the square hole at the cylinder's tangents lines of length,h. Pressure = force*area. Pressure =force*(4h*negligible width of each contact line)
A rectangular prism peg with the same height, h would contact a cylindrical hole at it's 4 edges. Again the pressure would be equal. Pressure = force*4h*negligible width of each contact line.

A related problem which is fun, is to design a peg which fits into a triangular hole, a square hole, and a circular hole leaving no gaps.

The entire puzzle is rendered invalid inasmuch as the puzzle asked which gives a 'tighter fit', while the answer suggested a 'better fit'. Details, details, details...

I thought the answer is just intuitive than mathematical: a round peg in a square hole can rotate about its axis. Whereas, a square peg in round hole cannot. (this is why manhole covers are square, though the hole itself is round)
Comment
I've read this 5 times and it still doesn't make sense. Which axis are you talking about? If the z-axis, you are wrong, both can rotate. Any other, you are still wrong, neither can rotate as they are pegs.


How to create folders for branches in a repository?
Tomaltach Source
How can I create a folder for my branches in my repository to keep the list of branches in origin from getting too long. A folder would at least allow these to become collapsible and can help with group branches by type for features, bugs, release and hotfix.

You can prefix the branch you want to create with the folder name or branch type you want. For example you can put a feature branch into a feature folder by making the branch name.
feature/branch_name
This can be done on multiple levels. For example
feature/home/create_home_page
feature/profile/create_add_profile_page
feature/profile/create_profile_list_page
This is an example of how the tree will look.
feature/home
->create_home_page
feature
-> profile
-> -> create_add_profile_page
-> -> create_profile_list_page

Our customer have a question.
Q : When using the Initialization Latch Method, is it necessary that the Initialization Latch register and the function latch register be the same?
If different setting, execution of the initialization latch method automatically executes the function latch, so I think that the value of the function latch register will be valid.Is this correct?
Please let me know if there are inconveniences when using different values.
They must be the same value (except for the control bits). See the Initialization Latch section on page 20 for more information.

Ugu vegetable, botanically known as Telfaria occidentalis is an indigenous vegetable crop in Africa; it is also called fluted pumpkin. Ugu plant is cultivated for its leaves; it is a major part of African delicacies. The commercial cultivation of Ugu is so lucrative as Ugu vegetable is a short term cash flow crop that requires little or no capital to cultivate.
Prior to the establishment of ugu farm, I do encourage intending farmers to seek adequate knowledge to avoid any unfortunate experiences. Aside from authoring the ebook on ugu farming, I found it crucial to share these practical guides and insights to enable successful cultivation. In this article, you would learn the production practices for fluted pumpkin, cost analysis of ugu farming, how to make ugu farm bed, fertilizer requirements and best fertilizer for Ugu, marketing strategies, and storage of Ugu in raw and dried form.
How To Establish Ugu Farm
Every farm establishment has preplanting and postplanting operations; the establishement of ugu farm is also made up of preplanting and postplanting operations that must be carried out adequately to ensure a profitable operation. There are basically 7 steps in establishing a successful commercial ugu farm, namely;
- Site selection.
- Land preparation.
- Pre-planting operation.
- Planting operation.
- Seed germination.
- Post planting operations.
#1. Site selection: Type Of Soil Ugu Grow Better On
Crops have different preferences for the type and nature of soil they grow on; the type of soil to grow ugu for good performance is a well-drained loamy soil that is rich in organic matter with a neutral pH. A waterlogged soil does not support the growth of ugu.
#2. Land preparation for ugu farming
Prior to planting ugu vegetable, the land has to be prepared using various land preparation methods. For commercial cultivation, I would recommend a conventional land preparation method where the land is ploughed twice and later harrowed to aid better rooting medium and allows the free flow of growth parameters such as air, water, nutrients and dissolved gases. Organic manure can be added into the soil during the second ploughing to facilitate the mineralization of the manure prior to sowing of the ugu seeds. Land preparation for ugu farming makes the making of beds very easy to achieve.
#3. Making of beds for Ugu planting
One of the purposes of land preparation in ugu farming is to ease the operation of the planting medium, the ugu vegetable beds. Crops are planted in different planting medium, some are planted on flat, ridges and beds. As for ugu, it is best planted on beds. In this guide, you would learn how to make ugu farm bed to facilitate good growth.
Ugu are best planted on raised beds of either 5 by 5 meters or 1wide by 10 meters long. The soil is raised to prevent the washing away by erosion and also provide a better feeding area of the emerging seeds. The bed must be spaced enough to allow the carrying out of various agronomic practices on the ugu farm such as weeding, watering, fertilizer application and harvesting. The inter-spacing between the ugu beds must be as wide as 0.5 meters.
#4. Seed treatment for Ugu seeds
It is not proper to plant fresh ugu seeds immediately after extraction from the pods. The ugu seeds have to go through series of treatment to make them assume germination as soon as they are planted. Firstly, after extracting the seeds from the pods, the seeds are air-dried. Do not sundry ugu seeds. Airdry the seed to reduce its moisture content before planting.
After air-dyring for about 24 hours, scarification must be done for the seeds to germinate rapidly. Usually ugu seeds germinate in about 10-15days but scarified ugu seeds germinate in less than 10 days. Scarification of the ugu seeds means bruising of the seed coat; this can be done with sands. Simply place a handful of seeds in your hand with sand in between and rub gently to bruise the seed coats. After extracting the seeds, the seed can be treated with insecticide-fungicide mixture such as Apron plus or Seedrex to prevent the seeds from insects and fungi attack.
#5. How to plant Ugu seeds
Planting ugu seeds is a technical operation as one must be careful to ensure the right side is inserted into the soil. When the seeds are successfully dried up, a pointed edge is noticed at the top of the seeds. This pointed edge is the portion that must be inserted into the soil at a depth of 3-5cm. Any mistake in the mode of planting could adversely affect the emergence of the seedlings. The pointed edge should be identified and ensure it points downward during planting. The seeds can be planted using different planting methods, namely:
- Dibbling method: In this method, the soil is just scooped and the seeds are inserted into the soil. The soil is not pulverized or tilled.
- Planting on beds: In this method, nursery beds are constructed, the land is tilled and pulverized . Raised beds are constructed across the slope of the land to reduce the risk of erosion.
Well-treated Ugu seeds would germinate at about 10 days to 12 days after planting.
#6. Spacing for planting ugu
The spacing for Ugu is not the same as other vegetable crops. The best spacing for ugu is 1 meter by 1 meter if planted directly into the soil. However, if the seeds are planted on beds, the spacing between the beds should be 0.5meter and the spacing between the ugu seeds on the beds should be 1m by 0.75m
Agronomic Practices Carried Out On Ugu Farm
After the planting and emergence of the seedlings, there are certain post-planting operations that must be done to salvage the seedlings to harvesting period, they include;
#1. Watering of Ugu vegetable
The seedlings have to be watered daily for the first two weeks of emergence to enable them to grow well.
#2. Weeding of ugu farm
Weeds have to be managed to guide against the competition on water, nutrients etc. with the seedlings. Weeding should be done every two weeks.
#3. Fertilizer application on Ugu
A nitrogenous fertilizer such as urea is the best fertilizer for ugu; because ugu is a leafy plant and such fertilizer enhances the growth of the vegetative parts or leaves of the plant. However, NPK 15:15:15 could be applied.
#4. Staking of Ugu plant:
Staking is not encouraged in commercial ugu farm as it distorts the growth habit and could reduce the potential yield on the farm.
#5. Control of pest in ugu farm
Pests such as leaf defoliators and some pathogenic infections are often noticed. This can be controlled biologically by boiling neem leaves (Dongoyaro) and spraying the extracts in the leaves for a period of two weeks.
#6. Harvesting of ugu
Ugu can be harvested after about 30 days of planting. The more the harvest the better the yield of the leaves in terms of size. Ugu can be harvested repeatedly for about eight months at an interval of 15 days. You need to know how to harvest ugu so that you do not trample on the fruits (pods) as they emerge. The safest way of harvesting Ugu is to pick up a long vine and inspect for the fruits (pods); the spot of the emerging seed should be the spot to stop the harvest.
#7. Storage of Ugu
Ugu vegetable is a perishable vegetable that can be stored fresh for a little period. After harvesting, Ugu can be stored in a cool room preferably a shelf or rack. Water must be sprinkled on the vegetable intermittently on the shelf. Placing ugu on bare floor can lead to rotting and rapid spoilage of the vegetable. Alternatively, ugu can be dried at room temperature to for longer storage. All you need to do is to clean the vegetable and air-dry till it becomes crispy. This does not reduce its nutritional value in any way.
Ugu farming is a very lucrative agribusiness that is capable of giving immediate returns on investment within a short period. I would recommend you purchase this Ugu farming PDF for better guide towards your cultivation. It goes for just #2000. Place your order

An Estimation of Hardness of Hardened Steels by X-Ray Diffraction Using a Gaussian Curve-Fitting Method
A simplified equation for calculating rapidly a parameter of a Gaussian curve fitted to a diffraction line peak is proposed for use in the evaluation of the diffraction line width. An equation for calculating the standard deviation of the parameter, caused by counting statistics, is also given to evaluate the reproducibility of the parameter. The parameter together with its standard deviation can be calculated in only 0.8 s with an inexpensive microcomputer. The time required for the X-ray intensity measurement in determining the parameter is about one third of that required in the half-width determination. The line width represented by the parameter of various quenched and tempered steels increases with increasing hardness. Hence, the use of the parameter allows a rapid and nondestructive estimation of hardness of hardened steels.

SHRM Assurance of Learning
Assurance of Learning Assessment for Graduating HR Students:
The Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) Assurance of Learning Assessment for graduating HR students is the new universal benchmark for students who are completing an HR degree and who have little to no work experience in HR. It benefits students by showing employers the student has acquired the minimum knowledge required to be a successful HR professional, and it gives recent graduates an important advantage over other entry-level candidates by showing the student has achieved the Certificate of Learning upon passing an exit exam. The assessment helps universities meet their accrediting body's assurance of learning requirements because it helps show the HR degree program teaches what it states it will teach. And, it helps employers know that the student has taken an additional step to ensure their degree, complemented by the Certificate of Learning achievement, adequately prepares them for their career in HR. As part of SHRM's broader academic initiative, the Assessment represents an important step along an HR professional's career development path. It complements both formal classroom knowledge acquired through a degree program and experiential learning gained through internships.

Poster for Jewish Luck (1925) by Natan Altman
Jewish Luck was among the first Soviet Yiddish films to be released in the US during the 1920s. Based on Sholem Aleichem's series of stories featuring the character Menakhem Mendl (played by the famous actor Solomon Mikhoels) the film revolves around the daydreaming entrepreneur Menakhem Mendl who specializes in doomed strike-it-rich schemes. Despite Jewish oppression by Tsarist Russia, Menakhem Mendl continues to pursue his dreams and his continued persistence transforms him from schlemiel to hero as the film uncovers the tragic underpinnings of Sholem Aleichem's comic tales. Notes Village Voice critic Georgia Brown, "The movie's best intertitle translated from Isaac Babel's Russian: 'What can you do when there is nothing to do?'"
A dramatized version of the Menkhem Mendl stories was first staged by the Moscow Yiddish State Theater, under the direction of Alexander Granovsky, who later made this silent film. Jewish Luck features some of the finest artistic talents of Soviet Jewry during this period. It has been speculated that the cinematography done by Eduard Tissé inspired the filming of certain scenes in one of his later projects, Sergei Eisenstein's The Battleship Potemkin (particularly the famous "Odessa steps" scene of that film, the same setting as the Jewish Luck finale). The original Russian intertitles were written by Soviet Jewish writer Isaac Babel, who later became a victim of the Stalinist purges in the late 1930s.


2 Methods to Auto Launch Outlook When Starting Your Computer
As a regular user of Outlook, you may hope, Outlook can start automatically when booting your computer rather than launching it by yourself. Here are two methods to accomplish it.
When it comes to auto launching Outlook when starting computer, many people may add MS Outlook shortcut to "Startup" folder. Assuredly it is the quickest approach. However, it will put stress to your computer when it starts, thereby slowing down its performance. Therefore, apart from this method, here we will introduce another method, namely utilizing a delayed schedule task.
Method 1: Add MS Outlook to Startup Folder
 1. At first, head to "Start Menu", click "All Programs" and open "Microsoft Office" folder.
 2. Then right click "Microsoft Outlook" and select "Copy" from the context menu.Copy MS Outlook Shortcut
 3. Next still in "All Programs", locate and right click "Startup" folder. Form the popup menu, choose "Explore".Explore Startup Folder
 4. In the "Startup" folder, right click the current interface and select "Paste".Paste Outlook Shortcut to Startup Folder
Henceforth, when you start your computer, the program can be launched automatically.
Method 2: Launch Outlook at a Scheduled Time after Computer Starts
 1. At the outset, search "schedule tasks" in "Control Panel".Search "schedule tasks" in "Control Panel"
 2. Click on "Schedule tasks" applet to open it.
 3. Then in the left pane of the popup dialog box, select "Task Scheduler Library".
 4. After that, in the right pane of "Actions", click "Create Task".
 5. A new dialog box will show up. Under "General" tab, fill in the name and description to your likes.New Task Name and Description
 6. Next turn to "Trigger" tab. Click "New" button.
 7. In "New trigger" dialog, firstly set "Begin the task" to "At log on". In "Settings", choose your desired computer users. And set "Delay task for" to any intervals according to the time that it takes to start your computer. And lastly select "Enabled".New Trigger
 8. Click "OK" and back to "Create Task" window, in which switch to "Actions" tab and press "New" button.
 9. In "New Action", set "Action" to "Start a program" and click "Browse" button to select Outlook.EXE application. In "Add arguments (optional)" field, input "/recycle". After all above, click "OK".New Action
 10. Later move to "Settings" tab, disable the option – "Stop the task if it runs longer than…"Disable "Stop the tasks if it runs longer than ..."
 11. Click "OK" button to apply this task.
 12. Due to the shortcoming that the task is created with lower priority by default, you have to change the priority to higher then. After backing to "Task Scheduler", right click the new task and select "Export", saving it to Desktop as a XML file.
 13. Afterwards, open the XML file via Notepad.
 14. In Notepad, near the bottom, find "<priority>7</priority>", change "7" to "4", "5" or "6".Change Priority
 15. Save the changes and close the Notepad.
 16. Return to "Task Scheduler", and delete that task via right click.
 17. Finally click "Action" > "Import Task" to import the task whose priority has been changed.Import Task
Since then, Outlook will be launched at the set time after the computer starts. Thus your computer's startup time won't be lengthened.
Exit Outlook Properly
Irrespective of when Outlook is launched, what you should keep in mind firstly is that it must be closed properly. Otherwise, you may be subject to Outlook corruption, which gives you no alternatives but to repair Outlook. Besides, if ScanPST fails to repair it, you have to apply other powerful tools like DataNumen Outlook Repair, which is near perfect due to its high recovery rate.

High Speed Research Car T-16
In November, 2000, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) began operating high speed research car T-16 to investigate methods for providing a safer and smoother ride for passenger and freight trains traveling at higher speeds. FRA's Office of Research and Development uses T-16 to study the dynamics of wheel-rail behavior, to investigate methods for improving track inspection, and to assess potential high speed rail corridors. T-16 also assists Amtrak, local and regional commuter authorities, and individual railroads in assessing their routes.
T-16 is a former Amtrak Metroliner passenger car which was refurbished and instrumented with advanced technology, with capabilities for measurement and data collection at speeds up to 160 mph. Measurement capabilities include track geometry, rail head profile, ride quality, and wheel-rail forces. T-16 can also be used as an instrumentation platform to collect data from sensors mounted on other cars in the train.
T-16 has the capability to process and display collected data in several formats. Monitors throughout the train can be configured to show the various displays. Exceptions are displayed in a list with specific details about each instance and on a GIS map to show their location in reference to other features. Raw data is streamed across a video strip chart that provides a graphical representation of measured parameters. The on-board system calculates and displays Track Quality Indices (TQI) based on track geometry data collected by the car. When requested by track inspectors onboard, data can be printed to an exception report or paper strip chart. Data can also be downloaded to removable media for offline viewing.


Hi all,
I am trying to drill deeper into Flash player IOError handling in AS3, in
order to distinguish different types of load failures when loading child
swfs and data into a parent swf. For instance, I need to know, and react
differently to, loads errors where the file is missing altogether vs. loads
where severe network congestion mid-load interrupts a load after a part of
the file has been received.
Can anyone offer some deeper information on exactly what initial
condition(s) triggers an IOError event? Is it time-based (no bytes loaded in
N ms), a reaction to a server response, something else? I've been googling
and reading through Adobe docs all morning and haven't seen anything deeper
than the often repeated, but largely unhelpful Adobe line: "FlashR Player
dispatches an IOErrorEvent object when an error causes a send or load
operation to fail." I'm looking for more depth than that. A definition of
"error" and the criteria used to decide the load was a failure, for
instance, would be a good start.
Any info. or directions to look would be greatly appreciated.

Integrated service networks: the Quebec case.
|Title||Integrated service networks: the Quebec case.|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2006|
|Journal||Health Serv Manage Res|
|Date Published||2006 Aug|
In the current context of health-care reform, integrated service networks are presented as main solutions to enhance efficiency. During the past few years, there has been an abundance of literature focusing on integration and the underlying implementation issues. However, the concept of integrated service networks remains fluid, and there are few typologies on health-care inter-organizational relations. The Quebec health-care system offers fertile ground for furthering our understanding of this concept because of its public system of funding, its integration of health and social missions, and the present reform's state of development. On the basis of a review of the literature and empirical studies, this article intends to clarify the concept of integrated service networks. A typology of inter-organizational relations and the main parameters for organizing integrated service networks are presented. The article also discusses the effectiveness of integration models.

Drivers of red cars are more likely to find themselves cleaning off bird poop than those who drive a different color car, according to research reported in the Daily Mail.
Commissioned by the car accessory company Halfords, scientists looked at 1,140 vehicles in British cities like Brighton, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Bristol.
They found that red cars were most often found covered in bird droppings - 18 percent - while green cars were the least likely – 1 percent.
The scientists say there isn't a concrete reason why red cars are the most-dropped on, but it might be because birds see the red as something representing danger.
· Red - 18 %
· Blue - 14 %
· Black - 11 %
· White - 7 %
· Grey/Silver - %
· Green - 1 %
The study also looked at how quick drivers were to clean the droppings off.
Only 17 percent said they wiped the poo off as soon as they saw it. Twenty percent said they cleaned it within a couple of days, while 55 percent said they waited until it was time for their next regular car wash.
Eight percent said they never wash their cars.


Cal State Fullerton research team developing biometric authentication process
A student research team at Cal State Fullerton is currently working on a new process to improve personal security using multimodal biometric authentication, according to a report by Daily Titan.
The CSUF research team consists of seven students led by computer science professor Mikhail Gofman and information systems and decision sciences professor Sinjini Mitra, both of whom are experts in biometrics fusion research and biometric authentication, respectively.
The team recently presented at the CSUF Southern California Conference for Undergraduate Research.
Their focus is on improving smartphone and tablet security by developing a multimodal framework, which uses multiple inputs, such as face and voice, to unlock or secure these devices.
The research team believes that improved biometric authentications could provide more secure authentication protocols than traditional systems that use passwords and pins.
Additionally, the team's research also concluded that current sensor technology and biometric algorithms are not strong enough to stand up against advanced spoofing attacks or tend to not work well in less than ideal conditions.
The team tested both Fischer Faces and Hidden Markov Model algorithms, which are typically used in face and voice recognition.
Based on their tests, the algorithms were found to have 40% error rates. But when the team experimented using their own approach they were able to cut the error rates down to nearly 20%.
"Our preliminary results indicate that such 'multimodal' fusion yields significantly more accurate authentication results than methods that use only one single biometric trait," Mitra said.
The team's prototype allows the user to record a brief video of their face while speaking a sentence. The prototype then extracts the photographs and audio from the video, and statistically combines the samples to generate a third level of integrated biometrical inputs.
In the future, the team also plans to include fingerprinting in the process because many smartphones are now equipped with built-in fingerprint scanners.
To date, the research team has only experimented on the Android platform, but it hopes to soon conduct research on Apple's iOS.

BEST VEGETABLE PROTECTION NUTRITIONAL FERTILIZERS
VEGETABLE PROTECTION AND NUTRITION FERTILIZER - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
SUPERCONCENTRATED, NPK 5-3-4: Root and foliar application, pour between 2 and 4 ml per liter of water, during the phase changes from growth to flowering, and at the beginning of fattening.
Plants can absorb amino acids in 2 ways:
- Root route: they would be absorbed the same as nitric or ammonium nitrogen and the sap will distribute it throughout the plant.
- Foliar route: It is the most used, since they can be applied together with other treatments such as foliar fertilizers, phytosanitary products, herbicides, etc.
It is convenient to use Lacalva Stress when your plant is lacking in nutrients or suffers an attack. We indicate the growing phases where it is most often used:
GROWTH PHASE FLOWERING PHASE
- Week 2: 2ml/l - Week 7: 2ml/l
- Week 3: 2ml/l - Week 8: 2ml/l
For more information, consult the MADAME GROW® Grow Table.
Product guaranteed by VEGETAL BIOPLANT laboratories.
BENEFITS OF SUPER AMINO ACID CONCENTRATE FOR PLANTS
Plant amino acids are closely related to plant growth and development. Some plant hormones are linked to amino acids or come from their transformation.
This makes the application of our super-concentrated amino acid fertilizer for plants LACALVA STRESS a success for the plant to overcome and develop in the face of any adversity.
The benefits of the plant protection fertilizer with concentrated amino acids manufactured by vegetalbioplant, are the following:
- Increase cell permeability.
- Improves the absorption and translation of nutrient ions.
- Increases flowering and decreases the number of floral abortions.
- Regulates osmotic processes.
- Accelerate the recovery of plants, subjected to adverse conditions, such as: transplants, transport, frost, wind, hail, pruning, suffocation, toxic effects of phytosanitary treatments, etc.

Evaluation of three portable NIR instruments for quantifying MBZ polymorphs.Comparative study to NIR benchtop instrument for quantifying MBZ polymorphs.Performance of calibration transfer between benchtop and portable instrument.Method is a flexible, easy, cheap and fast way for quantifying MBZ polymorphs.This work presents an evaluation of the analytical performance of three different portable near-infrared (NIR) instruments (denominated Port.1, Port.2 and Port.3) for quantifying mebendazole polymorphs (A, B and C) in pharmaceutical raw materials using multivariate calibration models. The performance of the portable instruments was compared with a benchtop one (FT-NIR Frontier spectrometer). In addition, calibration transfer between the benchtop and one of the portable instruments was also performed. For polymorph A, the Port.1 presented the lowest RMSEP value (1.01% w/w) even when compared to the FT-NIR instrument. For polymorphs B and C, the same Port.1 instrument presented RMSEP values of 2.09% w/w and 2.41% w/w, respectively, which were statistically similar to those obtained with the benchtop instrument. The LOD ranges (3.9–5.5 for polymorph A, 3.6–5.1 for polymorph B and 5.7–7.7 for polymorph C) obtained with the Port.1 was higher than those achieved with the benchtop NIR instrument, with high spectral resolution, signal-to-noise ratio and better wavelength reproducibility. Calibration transfer was performed between the benchtop NIR and Port.1 instruments. According to the results, the transferability of models is possible. The results obtained for complete recalibration of the portable instrument and those for the benchtop are comparable. The methods developed demonstrated a flexible, easy, cheap and fast way for quality control of MBZ polymorphs in incoming material, mainly in pharmaceutical laboratory chains.

 1. Quadratrix
 In mathematics, a quadratrix is a curve having ordinates which are a measure of the area of another curve. The two most famous curves of this class are those of Dinostratus and E. W. Tschirnhausen, which are both related to the circle. The quadratrix of Dinostratus was well known to the ancient Greek geometers, and is mentioned by Proclus, who ascribes the invention of the curve to a contemporary of Socrates, probably Hippias of Elis. Dinostratus, a Greek geometer and disciple of Plato, discussed the curve, and showed how it affected a mechanical solution of squaring the circle. Pappus, in his Collections, treats its history, and gives two methods by which it can be generated. ⁕Let a helix be drawn on a right circular cylinder; a screw surface is then obtained by drawing lines from every point of this spiral perpendicular to its axis. The orthogonal projection of a section of this surface by a plane containing one of the perpendiculars and inclined to the axis is the quadratrix. ⁕A right cylinder having for its base an Archimedean spiral is intersected by a right circular cone which has the generating line of the cylinder passing through the initial point of the spiral for its axis. From every point of the curve of intersection, perpendiculars are drawn to the axis. Any plane section of the screw surface so obtained is the quadratrix.

Meaning of the name Tristan
[ 2 syll. tris-tan, tr-ist-an ] The baby boy name Tristan is pronounced in English as TRIHS-TahN or in French as TRiyS-TAON †. Tristan is used chiefly in the English, French, German, Romanian, and Welsh languages, and its origin is Celtic. Drystan (Celtic) is an original form of Tristan. The name is derived from either the Celtic 'drest' (meaning din, riot, tumult), or else from the Latin 'tristis' via Old French. The form Tristram was first adopted by English speakers in the early 12th century, famous from the hero of the Celtic folklore tale of tragic romance between Tristram and Isolde. Tristram was a Cornish knight, one of the most noble of King Arthur's Round Table, while Isolde was an Irish princess; they fell in love with each other after unintentionally drinking a love potion meant for Isolde and her fiance, King Mark of Cornwall. The Old French derivation from 'tristis' is associated with the tragic nature of the legend. The legend was later retold in many notable works, including Lord Tennyson's poems Idylls of the King (1859), and Wagner's opera Tristan and Isolde (1865), further promoting the popularity of the name. The name Trista (English) is the female form of Tristan.
Tristan is a widely used name; it has 32 variants that are used in English and other languages. Variants used in English include Trestan, Trestin, Treston, Trestton, Trisan, Trisden, Trist, Tristain, Tristam, Tristán, Triste, Tristen, Tristian, Tristin, Triston, Tristram (used in Welsh too), Tristran, Tristrand, Tristyn, Trys, Tryst, Trysten, Trystian, Trystin, Trystn, Tryston, and Trystram. The contraction Tris, and the variant spelling Trystan (used in Welsh too) are other English forms. Drystan (Welsh), Tristano (Italian), and Tristão (Portuguese) are foreign variants of Tristan.
Tristan is popular as a baby name for boys. The name's popularity jumped from the 1970s up to the 1990s; before that, it was of sporadic use only. Its usage peaked modestly in 1996 with 0.273% of baby boys being given the name Tristan. It ranked at #68 then. The baby name has since experienced a loss in popularity. In 2015, its usage was 0.192% and its ranking #101, but it was nonetheless the most popular among all boy names in its group. In 2015, 9 times more boys were named Tristan than the next most popular name, Tristen. Tristan has mostly been a baby boy name, though in the past century it has also been used for girls. In 2002, the name Tristan was given to 13 times as many baby boys than girls.
Baby names that sound like Tristan include Thorstein, Thorsteinn, Thorsten, Torstein, Torsten, Trestan, Trestin, Treston, Trestton, Trisden, Tristain, Tristam, Tristen, Tristin, Triston, Tristyn, Trustin, Truston, Trystan, and Trystin.

What Does It Mean When A Hamster Stands Up?
Have you noticed that every now and then your hamster will stand up on their two back legs? Is this something you need to worry about? What Does It Mean When A Hamster Stands Up?
Hamsters will stand up on their back legs to have a good look and listen to things around them. They will also stand up when they are grooming themselves. If your hamster stands up as you approach them this is a sign of defensive behaviour.
Why Does My Hamster Stand On Its Hind Legs?
A hamster will stand on its hind legs to help them explorer their surroundings. By standing they can get a better view around them and have a good sniff as the air is most likely more free moving.
A hamster standing on its hind legs is also known as meerkating because they exhibit the same posture as a meerkat.
It is very important when a hamster is standing that you do not approach them and try to pick them up as they might show some aggression towards you. At this stage your hamster is in a exploring mode and they do not want to be distracted. If this is the case do not worry because it is normal for them to act this way.
They are in this hunting mode usually because they can smell or see something that is interesting, usually food related. Below is a video showing a hamster standing on its hind legs.
YouTube video
Why Is My Hamster Standing Perfectly Still?
A hamster will stand perfectly still if they have smelt or heard something interesting or threatening and they are not sure where it is. This behaviour is witnessed commonly in wild hamsters, but also domestic hamsters.
It is also common for them to stand perfectly still for minutes at a time. This is a natural for them to do, it has most likely been inherited from wild hamsters because they are seen as prey in the wild and they stay perfectly still to avoid predators.
If your hamster is standing perfectly still you can approach them slowly and gently pick them up, make sure not to scare them and they should start to move around again.
Hamster Falling Asleep Standing Up
If your hamster is falling asleep while standing up it is usually because they have fainted or have not had enough quality sleep recently.
It is not common for hamsters to fall asleep standing up, if they do it once or twice it is nothing to be worried about.
If they are frequently falling sleep standing up then there is most likely an issue that needs to be looked in to. You will need to look at the following two items.
Monitor Sleep Pattern
A healthy hamster requires between six to eight hours of sleep a day. Hamsters also sleep during the day so it should be easy to monitor how much sleep they are having.
YouTube video
During the day keep a record of how much sleep they are getting. It is usual for them to get up a few times during their sleep to go toilet and have a drink.
If they are frequently having less then six hours a day you should take them to the vet as soon as possible.
Typically when a hamster faints they will fall or jump because they are not sure what is happening to them and they are scared.
It should be pretty obvious if your hamster is fainting, take a look at this video for the signs to look out for
YouTube video
The main causes of hamsters fainting include
 - Not eating enough food
 - Not drinking enough water
 - Suffering from an illness
If they are constantly fainting for longer than one day then you will need to take them to a vet to be looked at as soon as possible.

Structured Prediction Models for High-level Computer Vision Tasks
Rich statistical models have revolutionized computer vision research:
graphical models and structured prediction in particular are now commonly used tools to address hard computer vision problems. I discuss what distinguishes these computer vision problems from other machine learning problems and how this poses unique challenges.
I argue that most computer vision models are misspecified and discuss the consequences of popular estimators in this case, concluding that we either have to use non-parametric models or use estimators robust to misspecification.
As one possible solution, I propose a novel discrete random field model applicable to a large number of computer vision tasks. The model is conditionally specified, non-parametric, and able to represent complex label interactions, yet it can be trained from hundreds of images in minutes on a single machine.

Nowadays, many software developers choose to host their projects in open software repositories. These repositories have become valuable resources of software engineering research. Many emerging software engineering research efforts are based on analyzing and mining these repositories, or are evaluated on the software projects collected from these repositories. However, a major obstacle of effectively leveraging these repositories is that, most of repositories contain only source code, while a large portion of program analysis techniques target at objective code only. Thus, most software engineering researchers have to either manually build a small number of software projects to enable objective-code analysis on them, or use only source-code analysis techniques. In this paper, we propose to bridge this gap by automatic compiling and building software projects in software repositories. Specifically, we present a fully automatic building tool called AutoBuilder, that detects build configuration files, downloads dependencies, and resolves conflicts and incompatibilities. To evaluate our technique, we apply our approach on a randomly collected set of 1,000 software projects with 23 million lines of code from Github. The experimental results show that our approach is able to successfully build 58.0\% of the projects and compile 59.0\% of the code (in lines), compared with building 32.6\% of the projects, and compiling 32.3\% of the code (in lines) by a baseline approach.

OTTAWA, Jan. 27 /CNW Telbec/ - The Canadian Alliance of Student
Associations is impressed by the substantial commitment of $2 billion toward
dealing with Accumulated Deferred Maintenance (ADM) in Budget 2009. CASA is
the only national student body that has been calling for urgent action on ADM
and asked for $1.5 billion. Universities and colleges in Canada are facing
substantial difficulties; years of underfunding have limited their capacity to
engage in routine maintenance (such as fixing desks, stairways, windows and
lights) that have resulted in an escalating price to fix these problems and
classrooms that cannot be used because they are too decrepit.
"We're happy to say that the government listened to our recommendation
and took action," said Zach Churchill, CASA's National Director. Financing ADM
is valuable because it opens up seats for students by making unusable
classrooms and buildings available once again. However, Budget 2009 puts a
worrisome constraint on funds by requiring institutions to raise half of a
project's cost from alternative sources before federal funds can be accessed.
Fundraising takes a great deal of time and effort ,even when provincial
governments have available money, and requiring fundraising runs counter to
the government's stated goal of funding projects that can be implemented
Other concerns about Budget 2009 include a lack of a one-time transfer of
funds to the provinces to offset freezes or claw-backs in post-secondary
education funding, or action to help students and their families get through
the recession, such as temporary, targeted grants for students or extending
the interest relief period for Canada Student Loans.
"It's good to expand the capacity of our institutions but if potential
students don't believe they can take on new debt in the middle of a recession,
those seats will remain empty," said Churchill.
The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA) is a non-partisan,
not-for-profit national student organization composed of 23 student
associations, representing 300,000 students from coast to coast.

- Abstract: We present Optimal Completion Distillation (OCD), a training procedure for optimizing sequence to sequence models based on edit distance. OCD is efficient, has no hyper-parameters of its own, and does not require pre-training or joint optimization with conditional log-likelihood. Given a partial sequence generated by the model, we first identify the set of optimal suffixes that minimize the total edit distance, using an efficient dynamic programming algorithm. Then, for each position of the generated sequence, we use a target distribution which puts equal probability on the first token of all the optimal suffixes. OCD achieves the state-of-the-art performance on end-to-end speech recognition, on both Wall Street Journal and Librispeech datasets, achieving $9.3\%$ WER and $4.5\%$ WER, respectively.
- Keywords: Sequence Learning, Edit Distance, Speech Recognition, Deep Reinforcement Learning
- TL;DR: Optimal Completion Distillation (OCD) is a training procedure for optimizing sequence to sequence models based on edit distance which achieves state-of-the-art on end-to-end Speech Recognition tasks.


Differences Between Mobile App and Web Performance Monitoring
By: AdamHass
 | May 1, 2023
Differences Between Mobile App and Web Performance Monitoring
Application Performance Monitoring, or Application Performance Management (APM), has become the de facto standard for providing better customer experiences and applications. APM allows you to observe the performance of your application including such valuable metrics as load time, errors, logs and transactions.
Mobile and web applications have similarities, but there are striking differences between the two. Mobile applications depend on the underlying frameworks provided by their operating system (iOS/Android). However, web applications, which have similar functionality to desktop applications, have a client–server architecture where the client (including the user interface and client-side logic) runs in a web browser.
Despite their differences and unique characteristics, mobile app performance is still related to web performance. The reason for this is that most mobile apps rely on servers to connect to APIs and download content. A poorly performing web application will likewise cause a related mobile app to perform poorly.
However, due to their defined differences, mobile and web applications have different metrics that we can monitor to provide a holistic overview of how our apps are performing.
What should you monitor in a mobile app?
When it comes to monitoring the performance of your mobile app, you should have a clear understanding of your goals and expectations. Some of the best metrics to watch include usage statistics, custom events, and crashes. However, having insight is not enough, you should also be able to take action and analyze trends.

Example AppLink.io usage stats module showing devices, carriers, versions and more
Usage statistics
Analyzing usage statistics will give you a better understanding of who your consumers are and their digital preferences. Getting breakdowns across devices, carriers, connection types, operating system, and app versions lets you know how your app is performing every day. Discover users experiencing poor app performance and diagnose the problems quickly.
Applink.io track custom event screenshot
Example AppLink.io SDK method tracking a custom event in iOS
Custom events
Any action that a user takes can be measured. Usually referred to in the context of in-app events, custom events give you the opportunity to track unique interactions. Once tracked, these events can provide an extra level of clarity about your app.
Applink.io crash screenshot
Example AppLink.io crash module showing crash details
App crashes
Nobody likes it when an app crashes. Tracking crash analytics as well as analyzing stack traces will help you quickly find and fix performance issues. Segmenting crashes by usage metrics can help uncover where a defect might be and get your app up and running fast.

Example AppLink.io triggers module showing a crash workflow
Triggered workflows
You can't always be staring at a screen monitoring your app. Everyone needs a coffee break or a day off. It's important to have an automated system that can trigger workflows and actions based on the good or bad experiences users are having in your app. Email and SMS alerts can notify you about a crash or other adverse event as soon as it happens.
Analyze trends
Having the data is the first step, but taking action from insight is a sign of maturity. Mobile APM can provide the foundation to build a decision supporting tool that will help leaders know the performance of their mobile apps, but more importantly, understand the data behind user behavior.
What should you monitor in a web application?
Like mobile apps, the goal behind performance monitoring of a web application should be utilizing the data to take action. Some of the key things that you should be monitoring include web requests and transactions, code-level performance, application dependencies, server monitoring, and log data.
Web requests and transactions
A basic function included in an APM solution should be the ability to review web requests and database transactions. Granted, most of this data can be obtained from a log, but it's important to understand what requests and transactions are taking place and how they are performing. Being able to identify and isolate slow incidents, can allow you to prioritize which ones to address first.

Code-level performance
They say, "The truth is in the code", and that is particularly true with application monitoring. An APM solution that can get you down to the code level can provide greater insights. Code-level performance profiling can help you understand what functions are being called and how long it takes to perform certain methods.
Application dependencies
A slow-performing web application can sometimes be attributed to a dependency within your application. Types of application dependencies can include databases, caching, message queues, web services, and HTTP APIs. A good application performance management system can track all of your application dependencies to help understand their performance.

Example shows application depending performance in Retrace
Server monitoring
Since the adoption of the cloud, most servers are created in virtualized environments and hosted in data centers. To keep tabs on your server, it's important to track server CPU and memory usage. In addition to being one of the primary factors associated with costs, heavy CPU usage can be an indicator of needing a larger server or adopting an auto-scaling strategy.

Log data
As a developer, whenever something went wrong, the first place I looked were the logs. The problem is that there are logs everywhere for everything. Database logs, server logs, operating system logs … you get it. A centralized logging solution is a key component for a APM solution.

Example shows log monitoring features in Retrace
Putting it All Together
High-performance mobile apps depend on high-performance web applications. Both mobile and web apps have a joint responsibility of providing an exceptional experience for users. If you have a web application that has a dependant mobile app, it's important to keep both in mind when evaluating APM providers.
AppLink.io is a mobile app analytics tool and marketing platform that provides app statistics, metrics, tracking and monitoring capabilities.

Why do polarized capacitors explode?
If a high voltage is applied above the nominal value to the capacitor, its dielectric force will degrade and eventually the capacitor will explode. Electrolytic capacitors fail due to the loss or vaporization of the internal electrolyte. Inadequate polar connections of these capacitors can cause explosion or failure.

When a new user logs on to a computer and they start Adobe Acrobat Standard/Pro for the first time, they will be prompted with a registration window. This may not be something you want for your users, especially not on RDS. Up until version 9, this prompt could be turned off through a registry setting, but this no longer works.
You can however also turn off the registration window through another way, during installation. Unfortunately, this requires you to uninstall and reinstall the software but the result does work perfectly.
 1. If Acrobat is already installed, uninstall it first.
 2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the installation media (or folder).
 3. Perform the installation by using msiexec, rather than setup.exe and manually add some parameters:
 msiexec /i AcroStan.msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS=YES /n
 The MSI file referenced is for Acrobat Standard. Substitute the name if you're using Pro.
Note that this will install Acrobat with the default language settings. If you want to use another installer language, you will have to add an additional parameter, pointing to the correct language file (i.e. Transform file). Usually the files are in the same folder, and have the name of the numerical language identifier (click link for reference). For example, for English (US), this would be 1033.mst.
Determine the correct language identifier, then run the installer with the TRANSFORMS parameter in addition to the other parameters:
msiexec /i AcroStan.msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES REGISTRATION_SUPPRESS=YES TRANSFORMS=1033.mst /n
The command above would install the English (US) version of Acrobat Standard. Again, substitute where appropiate.
E.g. for Dutch, it would be TRANSFORMS=1043.mst.

Is Sea Life Worth It?
Divers were willing to pay the most on average for healthy corals, at around $55 per dive, but they were also willing to pay an average of $35 for sharks and $30 for sea turtles.
As Suzanne Garrett, our dive program coordinator (ScubaSuz here on the blog) put it, "Divers are personally invested in the oceans and truly understand the importance of safeguarding marine wildlife and habitats."
For all you divers out there -- what would you pay to see, and how much?
