Photography enthusiasts and professionals alike rely heavily on the functionality of their camera's shutter button. It's the gateway to capturing those perfect moments, and when it malfunctions, it can be a photographer's worst nightmare.
In this article, we'll delve into the common causes of a non-responsive Canon camera shutter button and explore troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.
Table of Contents
Common Causes of Shutter Button Malfunction
Understanding the root causes of shutter button issues is the first step to resolving them and ensuring your Canon camera works seamlessly.
Dust and Debris Buildup
One of the most common culprits for a non-working shutter button is dust and debris accumulation. Over time, these particles can find their way into the delicate mechanical components of the button, hindering its responsiveness. Regularly cleaning your camera can help prevent this issue.
Accidental bumps or drops can lead to physical damage, causing misalignment or internal components to dislodge. This can render your shutter button unresponsive or inconsistent in its operation.
Wear and Tear
Like any mechanical component, the shutter button can experience wear and tear over extended use. The constant pressing and releasing can lead to button fatigue, making it less effective in registering clicks.
In some cases, a failing or weak battery can contribute to shutter button problems. A low battery may not provide the necessary power to engage the button fully. Ensure your battery is adequately charged before assuming a more significant issue.
Troubleshooting Steps for Canon Camera Shutter Button Problems
Cleaning the Shutter Button
If you suspect dust and debris are the culprits, start by cleaning the shutter button carefully. Compressed air from a can can be used to remove any loose particles. For stubborn dirt, a small brush or a cotton swab slightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol can be gently used. Remember to turn off your camera before attempting this.
Checking for Loose Parts
Inspect the button for any loose components or parts that may have shifted out of place. If you find any, consult your camera's manual for reassembly instructions. Be cautious, and if you're uncertain, it's best to seek professional help.
Testing Different Shooting Modes
Sometimes, shutter button issues are not due to mechanical problems but can be related to the shooting mode. Try switching between different shooting modes, such as manual, aperture priority, or shutter priority, to see if the issue persists in all modes. This can help identify if the problem is mode-specific.
Seeking Professional Help
If the troubleshooting steps fail to resolve the issue, it's advisable to seek professional camera repair services. Attempting to disassemble your camera without the necessary expertise can lead to further damage. A skilled technician can diagnose and fix the problem efficiently.
Prevention and Maintenance Tips
Preventing shutter button issues is better than dealing with them. Here are some tips to maintain your camera's performance:
- Store your camera in a protective case when not in use.
- Handle your camera with care to avoid accidental damage.
- Keep the camera's lens and body clean to reduce the chances of dust and debris ingress.
- Follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines for your specific Canon camera model.
1. Can I clean the shutter button with any cleaning solution?
It's best to use isopropyl alcohol, but make sure it's only slightly dampened on a cotton swab. Avoid excessive moisture.
2. How often should I clean my camera's shutter button?
Regular cleaning is essential. Aim for cleaning it every few months or more frequently if you often shoot in dusty environments.
3. My Canon camera is still under warranty. Can I get the shutter button repaired for free?
If your camera is under warranty, it's a good idea to contact Canon's customer support for assistance. Warranty terms may cover repairs.
4. Are there any DIY methods to fix a non-working shutter button?
While some minor issues can be resolved with DIY cleaning, complex problems should be left to professionals to avoid further damage.
5. How do I find a reliable camera repair technician?
You can search online for authorized Canon service centers or reputable camera repair shops in your area. Reading reviews and seeking recommendations can help you make an informed choice.
A non-responsive Canon camera shutter button can be frustrating, but with the right knowledge and maintenance, many issues can be prevented or resolved. Regular cleaning and careful handling can go a long way in ensuring that your camera's shutter button continues to work flawlessly, helping you capture the moments that matter most.

AbstractThe complexity of ozone (O3) formation mechanisms in the troposphere make the fast and accurate modeling of ozone very challenging. In the absence of a process model, principal component analysis (PCA) has been extensively used as a data-based monitoring technique for highly correlated process variables; however conventional PCA-based detection indices often fail to detect small or moderate anomalies. In this work, we propose an innovative method for detecting small anomalies in highly correlated multivariate data. The developed method combine the multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) monitoring scheme with PCA modelling in order to enhance anomaly detection performance. Such a choice is mainly motivated by the greater ability of the MEWMA monitoring scheme to detect small changes in the process mean. The proposed PCA-based MEWMA monitoring scheme is successfully applied to ozone measurements data collected from Upper Normandy region, France, via the network of air quality monitoring stations. The detection results of the proposed method are compared to that declared by Air Normand air monitoring association.

Python Question
Check for instance of Python multiprocessing.Connection?
Connection
objects are created when opening a
multiprocessing.Pipe
. However, it's not clear how to check whether an object is an instance of a
Connection
.
In Python3 (3.4, 3.3, !3.2), to detect an instance of
Connection
I can do:
from multiprocessing.connection import Connection
if isinstance(f, Connection):
print("f is a Connection to a Pipe")
from multiprocessing.dummy.connection import Connection
also works on all Python3, but not Python2.
However, this results in an
ImportError
using Python2. How am I supposed to reliably check for a Connection object?
Answer
There are significant implementation differences between Python 2 and 3 w. r. t. multiprocessing Connection objects. In Python 2, you can import them via:
from _multiprocessing import Connection
In Python 2, the Connection class is implemented in a helper module _multiprocessing, written in C (source here). I think it is written in C for better accessibility of the Windows API and possibly for performance reasons. I assume that in case of Python 3 the special Windows API calls required for implementing named pipes have been externalized to the winapi module.
You can easily, depending on the Python version, either import Connection from multiprocessing.connection or from _multiprocessing so that your code runs on both, Python 2 and 3.

6.4.11 Duplicates
If you are a member of a couple of mailing lists, you will sometimes receive two copies of the same mail. This can be quite annoying, so nnmail checks for and treats any duplicates it might find. To do this, it keeps a cache of old Message-IDs: nnmail-message-id-cache-file, which is ~/.nnmail-cache by default. The approximate maximum number of Message-IDs stored there is controlled by the nnmail-message-id-cache-length variable, which is 1000 by default. (So 1000 Message-IDs will be stored.) If all this sounds scary to you, you can set nnmail-treat-duplicates to warn (which is what it is by default), and nnmail won't delete duplicate mails. Instead it will insert a warning into the head of the mail saying that it thinks that this is a duplicate of a different message.
This variable can also be a function. If that's the case, the function will be called from a buffer narrowed to the message in question with the Message-ID as a parameter. The function must return either nil, warn, or delete.
You can turn this feature off completely by setting the variable to nil.
If you want all the duplicate mails to be put into a special duplicates group, you could do that using the normal mail split methods:
 (setq nnmail-split-fancy
 '(| ;; Messages duplicates go to a separate group.
 ("gnus-warning" "duplicat\\(e\\|ion\\) of message" "duplicate")
 ;; Message from daemons, postmaster, and the like to another.
 (any mail "mail.misc")
 ;; Other rules.
 [...] ))
Or something like:
 (setq nnmail-split-methods
 '(("duplicates" "^Gnus-Warning:.*duplicate")
 ;; Other rules.
Here's a neat feature: If you know that the recipient reads her mail with Gnus, and that she has nnmail-treat-duplicates set to delete, you can send her as many insults as you like, just by using a Message-ID of a mail that you know that she's already received. Think of all the fun! She'll never see any of it! Whee!


I have watched a part of TV show and the Muslim scholar was saying it is a must to let your beard grow and trim your mustache. I have always thought there is a kind of cultural influence and it is not a must to have it.
Is in a sin to shave your beard in Islam? is it a must to have a beard or else you will not be a good Muslim?
 - 1
 I would typically discourage questions of a fiqhi nature because they're not suited for discussion on a forum of amateurs but I'm not flagging this one because the topic of the beard is of general interest and something that is highly visible, thereby inviting questions. – Ansari Jun 20 '12 at 16:01
 - -1 You didn't do your research. This is a well-established ruling. – ashes999 Jun 20 '12 at 16:54
Having a beard for a man (when it is possible) is wajib (obligatory) in Sunni Islam by consensus of almost all scholars and schools of thought. One of the many ahadith cited as evidence for this is the hadith from Abdullah b. Umar narrating from the Prophet (saws):
انْهَكُوا الشَّوَارِبَ، وَأَعْفُوا اللِّحَى
Trim the mustaches and leave the beard (to grow).
from Sahih al-Bukhari also in many other books
There is a difference of opinion within the Shafi'i school whether it's highly encouraged or obligatory.
For a Muslim, a hadith with a command from the Prophet (saws) is generally taken to describe an obligatory deed unless evidence suggests otherwise (from the principle "al-amru li al-wujoob").
Based on this hadith and many others like it, the scholars do say that it is a sin to shave the beard. As for whether or not you won't be a good Muslim without it, I don't see the connection. Being a good Muslim encompasses a number of things, from belief in the heart to kind actions to acts of worship. Not having a beard doesn't directly reflect on someone's character or the purity of their heart. But if not having a beard comes out of an arrogance or intentional disobedience of the Prophet (saws) then I guess that could have effects on others parts of one's Islam.

 Are you sure? Having bread is not Wajib, but shaving it is haraam. – user8749 Jun 20 '12 at 16:01
 - 2
 Well if shaving it is haram, then having it (when possible) is wajib :) In any case, even aside from that argument, the standard position in Sunni fiqh at least is that it is wajib, with a caveat for a difference of opinion among some Shafi'is. – Ansari Jun 20 '12 at 16:03
 - Ah, you're quite right. They're the same thing! Please add the "Sunni fiqh" part to your answer. – user8749 Jun 20 '12 at 16:04
 - 1
 Done - thanks for pointing that out. Curious now - what's the Shi'a fiqh on this? Ja'fari or Zaidi... – Ansari Jun 20 '12 at 16:07
 - A special shaving of beard is forbidden (haraam) in Shi'a Figh. One can use moser to shave beard to a level that you can't tell if he has from a fairly near distance. But I think there's not much of difference on this matter between n the two, only a slightly detailed one. – user8749 Jun 20 '12 at 16:24

"The Oldest Road In St. Louis County"
"St. Charles Rock Road, the first road through St. Louis County, was laid out in 1772 as "The Road to St. Charles" by the Spanish. The road began in St. Louis (where it was called "Kings Road"), followed in a general direction the route now used and led to the bank of the Missouri River opposite St. Charles. In 1819, St. Charles Road was established as a post and stage road; in 1837 it was first incorporated as a turnpike. In 1865, St. Charles Road was rebuilt with macadam (successive layers of small broken stones) and renamed St. Charles Rock Road. In 1921, it became the first concrete state highway in St. Louis County."

Technical Images in Astronomy in Argentina since the Late Nineteenth Century
Conferencia; 9th Conference of European Society for the History of Science Conference. Visual, Material and Sensory Cultures of Science; 2020
European Society for the History of Science
This talk aims to understand the context of production and circulation of a set of photographic plates, graphic records and astronomical drawings made in Argentina between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. I will consider not only the traditions of scientific work differentiated according to the rivalry between nations, but the problems of uneven and combined development of the participating nations in the framework of international astronomical work. I will examine two international scientific works that had astronomical records made in Argentina and that required the preparation of technical images. In 1882, French missions sent to Argentina for the observation of the transit of Venus took several photographs, made drawings and recorded chronograph on paper tapes as part of the data corpus of the event. In Rio Negro a total of 90 photographic plates were obtained, in Chubut 562 and in Santa Cruz 206. Five years later, the same working networks were promoting a photographic project in France, the Carte du Ciel, which would have the participation of both the Observatory La Plata as the Observatory of Cordoba in Argentina. I will show the fluctuating nature of the epistemic value of the different images (celestial maps, drawings, graphic records and photos) in the elaboration of the results of astronomical work networks of the time.

In my QGIS3 plugin I need to close all open PyQt5 dialogs. The structure of my plugin is like the following code. To be clear, when I call runCloseDialogs() I want to close both dialogs opened by run() and run2() if they are open. How can I do this?
def run(self):
 self.dlg = Dialog()
 self.dlg.show()
def run2(self):
 self.dlg2 = Dialog2()
 self.dlg2.show()
def runCloseDialogs(self):
 #close all open dialogs here
1
 - Do you want to close all open dialogs in the plugin OR all open dialogs opened in some specific methods (like run and run2)? Is the question about method-based dialogs or dialog-based dialogs? Mar 10, 2020 at 20:36
1 Answer 1
3
CASE 1: If dialogs are created in the main class defined in main module of the plugin,
 - First, find all attributes of main class. (vars(self))
 - Then, check if any is QDialog and is visible. If it is, hide using setVisible(False)
def runCloseDialogs(self):
 items = vars(self)
 for i in items:
 item = items[i]
 if isinstance(item, QDialog) and item.isVisible():
 item.setVisible(False)
CASE 2: If the plugin has any widget (GUI) which contians other Qt elements (for example QPushButton) and dialog window is opened by that element, in this case, dialog window is (probably) child of main widget (GUI). In this case, self stands for GUI.
 - First, find all QDialogs instances of the plugin.
 - Then, check if it is visible. If it is, hide using setVisible(False)
def runCloseDialogs(self):
 for dlg in self.findChildren(QDialog):
 if dlg.isVisible():
 dlg.setVisible(False)
The script above close all dialogs defined in the plugin's GUI.
CASE 3: If you want to close only self.dlg and self.dlg2, you can use the following lines:
def runCloseDialogs(self):
 if self.dlg.isVisible():
 self.dlg.setVisible(False)
 if self.dlg2.isVisible():
 self.dlg2.setVisible(False)
4
 - Hi thank you very much. I was asking about the first case, but your answers are both usefull.
 – Lorenzo
 Mar 11, 2020 at 16:49
 - It says: 'Plugin' object has no attribute 'findChildren'
 – Lorenzo
 Mar 11, 2020 at 17:16
 - Ok. I thought run method was defined in a GUI class. I've editted the answer. Mar 11, 2020 at 19:41
 - Thank you, your answers are always very complete

The gate is one of the first examples of architectural recycling, in fact the two arches were not originally part of the city walls but belonged to an aqueduct that Emperor Claudius had built in 52 CE where Via Labincana and Via Prenestina met. Later, the two arches were incorporated into the city walls and were given the name Porta Prenestina. Only later did it become known as Porta Maggiore as a result of its proximity to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. Today the square in front of the gate has become a focal point of Roman traffic. Buses and trams stop here and the upper part of the gate is used as a railway bridge for trains on their way to and from Termini.

Effects of work of breathing (WOB) on blood flow during exercise
Effects of work of breathing on blood flow during exercise
Published in Experimental Physiology this research sought to simultaneously assess leg and respiratory muscle blood flow during intense exercise while manipulating the work of breathing (WOB).
Researchers from Canada & Brazil hypothesised:
 1. Increasing the work of breathing would increase respiratory muscle blood flow and decrease leg blood flow.
 2. Decreasing the work of breathing would decrease respiratory muscle blood flow and increase leg blood flow.
The work of breathing (WOB)
Changes in work of breathing are significantly and positively related to changes in respiratory muscle blood flow. By which it shows that increasing the work of breathing increases blood flow.
On the other hand, changes in work of breathing are inversely related to changes in locomotor blood flow. So decreasing the work of breathing increases locomotor blood flow.
Study findings
Therefore findings from the study support the concept that respiratory muscle work significantly influences the distribution of blood flow to both respiratory and locomotor muscles.

After a brief hiatus, Safe Water Harpers Ferry is back!
Safe Water Harpers Ferry is the local program of Safe Water for West Virginia, a program designed to help utilities and communities protect drinking water sources. Here in Harpers Ferry, partners collaborate to help restore and protect Elks Run, the local watershed and drinking water supply of Harpers Ferry and Bolivar.
This year, Harpers Ferry is working to achieve the designation of a Source Water Protection Community. This designation, awarded by West Virginia Rivers Coalition, recognizes a community for implementing community-based solutions to protect drinking water supplies.
This past May, the Corporation of Harpers Ferry issued a mayoral proclamation for Drinking Water Week, formalizing the community's emphasis on clean drinking water.
Over the next year, community projects will engage watershed residents in the stewardship of Elks Run. Activities will include a rain garden planting at Sam Michaels Park and tree plantings, as well as a community water celebration in 2023.
This fall, Elks Run Watershed Group is collaborating with the Eastern Panhandle Conservation District to offer a septic repair cost-share program. This program will reduce bacterial contamination in Elks Run, contributing to both a healthier watershed and cleaner drinking water supplies. If you live in the Elks Run Watershed and are interested in participating, you can find more information here.
In the meantime, sign up for the Elks Run newsletter to stay in the loop about future activities to engage with and protect your local watershed!

Dispute Over an Expense Reimbursement Contract? Five Factors to Consider
Are you a Wisconsinbased employee with a dispute (or potential dispute) with an employer about an expense reimbursement contract? If so, before you take action or communicate with the employer about the dispute, below are five factors to consider.
1. Review the contract's terms, including terms about timing and key dates, before taking action.
Many expense – reimbursement contracts have terms that specify important dates and/or time periods. For example, a contract may say that if the employee resigns within one year of his employment start date, then he must reimburse the employer 100% of the expenses it paid relating to the employee's hire, travel and relocation. Or a contract may say if the employee resigns during a given time frame (e.g. at a time between Jan. 1 and Jun. 30, 2019), then he must reimburse 50% of the employer's expenses, or if he resigns during a later time frame (e.g. between Jul. 1 and Dec. 31, 2019), he must reimburse 25%.
Sometimes, the terms are not clearly defined or ambiguous on their face. For example, a reimbursement contract may say the employee has a reimbursement obligation if he resigns "before a one-year period", but may not specifically define the date that "one year" has ended. Such ambiguous terms can raise doubts when, exactly, the one year period begins and ends. Is it one year after the date the last party signed the contract? One year after the date the employee accepted the job offer? One year after the date the employee first started employment at the employer's building?
An employee with a reimbursement contract should review and understand the contract's terms– including its terms about important dates and timing– before he takes action, e.g. before he gives notice of resignation on a given date. A close review of the contract, including terms about key dates and timing, can help the employee be aware of important timing considerations and perhaps avoid a very costly mistake. For example, it may help him avoid giving notice of resignation to occur a day before a date when reimbursement obligations would have vanished under the contract had he stayed employed just a day longer.
2. Know that some contracts and/or their reimbursement terms are invalid under Wisconsin law; don't assume the employer's legal interpretation is correct.
Employers act as if the reimbursement contracts they drafted– and their interpretations of their contracts– are unquestionably valid under the law. But in reality, some reimbursement contracts are invalid under Wisconsin law standards.
Only a Court can determine if a given contract is valid or invalid. However, an employee can have a lawyer assess the likelihood or odds a given contract would be found invalid by a Court, via the lawyer reviewing that contract and comparing it to applicable legal standards, etc.
If an employee's lawyer reviewed a reimbursement contract and saw legal problems with it and felt a Court would likely consider it invalid, the lawyer's opinion to this effect could be conveyed to the employer, and could cause the employer to reduce or withdraw its demand for the employee's expense-reimbursement payment.
It is common in my experience to see problems in the language of an expense – reimbursement contract that present risk to the employer that the contract could (if a legal action arose) be determined by a Court to be invalid. There are some legal issues that, if present in a given contract, could cause a Court to decide the whole contract is invalid. In other instances, there are problems with a contract that are likely to cause a Court to decide only a portion of its terms, or only a portion of money (less than what the employer demands) are legally-valid or owed.
If you have a reimbursement contract with one or more of the following attributes, it may be legally-vulnerable for the employer, and you should consider having an employee rights lawyer assess it further:
 - If the contract was drafted by the employer and has vague or ambiguous terms the employer is now interpreting in its favor, to your financial detriment.
 - If the contract defines types of expenses or time frames, etc., and the employer is seeking reimbursement of types of expenses that are not of the type the contract defines, or were not incurred during defined contractual time frames, etc.
 - If the contract has terms that say the employer may dock your wages (paychecks) for reimbursement money the employer decides you owe.
3. Request proof from the employer for the expenses at issue; make sure they're legitimate expenses and of a type reimbursable under the contract.
A reimbursement contract may specifically state the employee has a right to request the employer give her proof of the expenses at issue, so she can verify they were in fact paid and in fact were proper for the employer to have paid for her hire and relocation, etc.
Such proof can include an itemization of expenses that specifies exact expenses' dates and amounts of payment, to whom they were paid, for what purpose, etc. Proof can also include receipts or bank entries from the employer, or other documents that prove and/or describe how various expense payments were made for given purposes, etc.
Whether or not your contract says you can request the employer provide you such proof of the expenses' legitimacy, it is a good idea for you to make such a request.
If an employer provides you an itemization or other proof of expenses, you should carefully review that documentation, to make sure the described expenses appear legitimate and appropriate. As an initial matter, you may discover that there are erroneous entries or amounts stated for given expenses, and find the employer has overstated the value of expenses it is asking you to reimburse.
You should also compare those documented expenses (as described in the documentation) to the terms and descriptions in your reimbursement contract. Are those expenses, for which the employer demands reimbursement, actually of the type and nature for which the contract requires reimbursement?
If there's any problem with the expenses' legitimacy and/or legality under the contract, it is good that you identify any such issues before communicating with the employer about potential reimbursement, and certainly before paying for reimbursement.
4. You may have legal leverage, for your reimbursement dispute, based on factors outside the reimbursement contract and/or that you may not have considered.
Above I reference some legal issues with a given reimbursement contract or its terms that, in a reimbursement demand or dispute situation, can possibly raise legal risks for an employer and/or leverage for the employee.
Aside from the content or issues in any given contract, there may be external factors or laws that provide potential leverage for the employee.
For one, an employee who is contemplating resignation and related reimbursement contract issues, may be subject to unlawful activities by his or her employer that prompted the plans for resignation in the first place. For example, the employee may be resigning because the employer failed to pay the employee a bonus or commission that was (in the employee/lawyer's view) owed under WI wage or contract laws, or because the employer harassed or discriminated against the employee in arguable violation of WI or Federal discrimination laws.
If an employer arguably violated laws with respect to the employee– and arguably owes the employee legal damages (money) due to lost wages or discriminatory acts, etc.– then those matters may serve as counter-leverage in a negotiation with an employer seeking expense-reimbursement money from the employee.
If a negotiation occurs with an employee about any legal issue, it is likely best that any and all other potential legal issues are also considered by the employee (and employee's lawyer, if applicable). That way, the employer's reimbursement demand is not discussed in a vacuum and the employee's potential legal rights and potential damages are also part of the discussion, leveraging and/or settlement agreement that may occur.
5. If you decide to get a lawyer's advice about a contract reimbursement dispute, it is best to do so before you take action or communicate with the employer.
As referenced above, an employee rights lawyer can review an expense reimbursement contract, assess the circumstances of a reimbursement request or dispute, and possibly identify deficiencies with the contract or the employer's legal position. As a threshold matter, the lawyer may tell the employee some important things not to do, e.g. not to resign before a given date (because of bad consequences per the contract's terms, etc.).
Also, the lawyer may opine that the employer's position has legal weaknesses. If that is the case– e.g. say the lawyer opines a Court would likely find the contract invalid– then that opinion could be helpful for the employee to know before communicating or trying to negotiate with an employer about an expense reimbursement demand.
The employee could retain the lawyer to do the communicating or negotiating.
Lawyers are better at conducting communications and negotiations about contracts than are employees and employers. Most employers know this and have lawyers (or promptly retain lawyers) to assist with any reimbursement-contract disputes that arise for them. Sometimes, employers' lawyers are behind the scenes and, unbeknownst to the employee they're in a dispute with, are monitoring and advising the employers' personnel about what to say or write to the employee. Employees, too often, try to tackle contract-related communications and negotiations on their own, and are thus at a disadvantage compared to the employers, who typically have attorney help accessible.
The more an employee communicates with an employer about a contract dispute– especially written or emailed communication– the more risk the employee incurs of diminishing or eliminating legal rights or options he or she may have had. For example, an employee may send off an email to the employer, about a reimbursement dispute issue, in which he inadvertently agrees to new contractual terms, or agrees to a contractual modification, that are against his interests and/or waive legal rights he'd had (to reduce or

Developing leaders for a diverse democracy is an increasingly important aim of higher education and social justice is ever more a goal of leadership education efforts. Accordingly, it is important to explore how dominant leadership models, as blueprints for student leadership development, account for and may unwittingly reinforce systems of domination, like racism. This critical discourse analysis, rooted in racialization and color-evasiveness, examines three prominent college student leadership development models to examine how leaders and leadership are racialized. We find that all three leadership texts frame leaders and leadership in color-evasive ways. Specifically, the texts' discourses reveal three mechanisms for evading race in leadership: focusing on individual identities, emphasizing universality, and centering collaboration. Implications for race in leadership development, the social construction of leadership more broadly, and future scholarship are discussed.

Prepares a query for later use with ifx_do().
For "select-type" queries a cursor is declared and opened. Non-select queries are "execute immediate".
For either query type the number of (estimated or real) affected rows is saved for retrieval by ifx_affected_rows().
If the contents of the TEXT (or BYTE) column allow it, you can also use ifx_textasvarchar(1) and ifx_byteasvarchar(1). This allows you to treat TEXT (or BYTE) columns just as if they were ordinary (but long) VARCHAR columns for select queries, and you don't need to bother with blob id's.
With ifx_textasvarchar(0) or ifx_byteasvarchar(0) (the default situation), select queries will return BLOB columns as blob id's (integer value). You can get the value of the blob as a string or file with the blob functions (see below).
Parâmetros

On March 17, 2014, the federal government introduced two new regulations under Canada's Special Economic Measures Act imposing an asset freeze on senior government officials and other individuals and entities in Russia and Crimea in connection with the recent developments in Crimea. On March 18 and 21, the federal government amended these regulations to designate additional names, including one Russian bank. The Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations and the Special Economic Measures (Ukraine) Regulations (New Regulations), together with the subsequent amendments, came into force immediately. The New Regulations follow the designation of certain members of the former Ukrainian government under the Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials (Ukraine) Regulations on March 5, 2014.
Similar to the March 5, 2014 Regulations, the New Regulations apply to every person in Canada and every Canadian outside Canada and prohibit:
- dealing in any property, wherever situated, held by or on behalf of any person designated under the New Regulations;
- entering into or facilitating, directly or indirectly, any transaction related to such dealing;
- making any goods, wherever situated, available to a designated person; and
- providing any financial or related service to or for the benefit of a designated person or in respect of a dealing in the property of a designated person.
The New Regulations also prohibit anything that is intended or causes, assists or promotes the contravention of the prohibitions under the New Regulations.
Some limited exemptions apply.
The government also introduced a Special Economic Measures (Russia) Permit Authorization Order and a Special Economic Measures (Ukraine) Permit Authorization Order, which authorize the Minister of Foreign Affairs to issue permits to carry out specified activities that are restricted under the New Regulations.
Regulated financial institutions are required to determine, on a continuing basis, whether they are in possession or control of property that they have reason to believe is the property of a designated person.
All businesses are required to disclose without delay to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police property reasonably believed to be that of a designated person under the New Regulations, together with information about any related transaction. Financial institutions are not required to separately report their search results under New Regulations to their principal regulator.

Interdisciplinary Middle Years Multimedia Model
The Interdisciplinary Middle Years Multimedia (IMYM) model grew out of the successful curriculum-based research and development project of the same name, which was piloted in the years _PHONE_.
The IMYM model demonstrated how the infusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) with promising instructional practices such as inquiry and constructivism could add value to teaching, learning, and assessing.
IMYM was assessed internally using action research strategies and externally by a Canadian educational research company. The IMYM model was piloted in nearly 100 rural and urban schools throughout Manitoba and is still being implemented voluntarily in schools and school divisions across the province.

Social Dialog with Embodied Conversational Agents
Abstract Social dialogue can be used by an embodied interface agent both to satisfy "interpersonal" goals, such as building rapport with the user and demonstrating the expertise of the agent, and to directly or indirectly satisfy task goals, such as acquiring background information about the user. We describe the ongoing development of an embodied conversational agent that is capable of multimodal input understanding and output generation and operates in a limited application domain in which both social and task-oriented dialogue are used. An approach to discourse planning for social dialogue is described, along with an implementation and preliminary evaluation.

Imagine that I have a truncated icosahedron consisted of 60 vertices, each of degree $deg(v) = 3$, and fixed edge length $L$. I'd like to assign some constant curvature or bending angle $\theta$ to each edge s.t. I can deform the icosahedron into its circumscribing sphere.
As a function of the edge length $L$, what value of $\theta$ allows me to properly perform this deformation?
share|improve this question
I don't understand how you're using the "bending angle" to deform the icosahedron. Are you looking for the angle $\theta$ that each edge makes with the circumscribing sphere? – anon Jul 17 '11 at 23:49
_USER_, sorry for the confusion! No I'm looking for the bending angle that places each edge on the surface of the sphere. – R.H. Jul 18 '11 at 3:04
Oh, you mean the angle formed by the arc which results from a radial projection of an edge onto the circumscribing sphere. – anon Jul 19 '11 at 12:15

Fix $L=1$. Then the radius of the circumscribed sphere is $r=\frac{1}{4} \sqrt{58+18 \sqrt{5}} \approx 2.478$. Now look at the isosceles triangle formed by the center of the sphere and one edge. It has sides of length $r$ and base length 1. So the angles at either end of the base are $\cos^{-1} (1/(2r)) \approx 78.3593^\circ$. The angle between the tangent to the sphere at one endpoint and the edge is then about $11.6407^\circ$.

Assumming that the same physical laws pertaining to the entrainment of sediment on Earth applies to Mars, the minimum paleoflow conditions of a specific martian outflow channel is characterized using empirical relationships, developed from terrestrial river systems whose slopes are similar to the martian channels, between median grain size (d(sub)50) and channel slope (S) and between d(sub)90 grain size (i.e., the grain size which is larger than 90% of the channel material) and flow shear stress (tau). This approach assumes that channel slope (a measurable parameter) can be used to infer a characteristic median grain size (d(sub)50, an unknown parameter) for the channel bed. Once grain size is known, the minimum flow dynamics required to entrain the grain can be determined. This technique is used to model the minimum flow conditions of the martian channel, Maja Vallis.

Rhino 3D Tutorial
How to use the 3dRudder within Rhino3D
This tutorial explains step by step the movements that will allow you to navigate your 3D models in Rhino3D using the 3dRudder, and gives you tips to optimize your navigation.
The 3dRudder is a precise device that registers angles and pressure measures and whose settings can be adjusted to your own personal use.
Also note that the 3dRudder can be used in 3D views (perspective) as well as in orthographic views.
1. Check you're ready to start
First of all, make sure the 3dRudder CAD plugin is installed on your computer, and that the 3dRudder control panel appears in Rhino3D.
You haven't installed the plugin yet? Click on the following link to access the plugin installation guide.

Plug the 3dRudder's USB cable to your computer.
illustration-step02-a
The 3dRudder will beep several times as shown below, meaning it's been perfectly identified by your computer.
illustration-step-2_white_en-1
Sit down and make yourself comfortable. In order to make the best use of your 3dRudder we recommend you follow the indication as shown below.
illustration-step-4_white_en
Put your feet on the 3dRudder and, once you've found your own comfortable position, stay still for half a second until you hear a short beep (calibration).
illustration-step-3_white_en
Good to know
The 3dRudder will take this position into account as your Neutral Position, meaning as long as you maintain this position or return to this position, no movement will be triggered into Rhino. There's a zone of tolerance around this position called Dead Zone.
2. Dolly (forward/backward)
By tilting the 3dRudder slightly forward or backward, you'll trigger a Dolly.
The more you tilt, the quicker you move.
Fichier_Mouv_Base_DOLLY2
The Dolly is a translation movement of the « camera » towards the point of interest, also called target.
Dolly_lock
3. Horizontal Orbit
Rotate the 3dRudder around its vertical axis, to the left or the right, to trigger the Horizontal Orbit.
Speed of movement is progressive and depends on your angle of rotation.
To stop the movement, return to your neutral position.
Fichier_Mouv_Base_HORIZ-ORBIT
By default, a rotation to the left will make the camera move in a circular manner from right to left, making the observer feels like moving around the target.
Orbit_Horiz_lock
Tip:
Tick the Invert box to switch from a mode into which you turn around the object to a mode where it looks like the object rotates on itself. This functionality will prove useful to the designers working on single objects of small dimension.
Fichier_Tip_Invert_orbit
4. Pan (horizontal translation)
Tilt the 3dRudder sideways to the left or the right to trigger a Pan.
Again, the movement is progressive and proportional to the angle.
Fichier_Mouv_Base_PAN-1
The pan is a simultaneous translation of the observer and the target.
Pan_Horiz
5. Vertical Orbit or Vertical Pan
Exert an opposite pressure with the toes of one foot the heel of your other foot to trigger a vertical orbit.
1 – toes of left foot / heel of right foot = Up
2 – toes of right foot / heel of left foot = Down
Again the movement is progressive and proportional to the level of pressure.
Fichier_Mouv_Base_UPDOWN
The Vertical orbit is a vertical rotation of the observer around the target.
UpD_OrbitVertical_lock
Tip:
Hold down the left Shift key at any moment to switch from a Vertical orbit to a Vertical pan. Go back to the Vertical orbit by releasing the key.
UpD_PanVertical
Tip:
Tick the Toggle box of the Vertical orbit section to invert the command by default. By doing so, Vertical pan becomes the regular command and Vertical orbit, the option.
Fichier_Tip_toggle_Shift
Tip:
Tick the Invert box to reverse the up/down command associated with your feet.
Eg. Toes of left foot / heel of right foot will trigger a Down instead of an Up movement.
Fichier_Tip_Invert_Orbit-Vert
6. Setting options
Dead zone
The Dead Zone represents a window of inclination angles (illustrated in orange) that trigger no movement into Rhino. The span of this window can be adjusted, to allow you find your best stability zone.
Fichier_Dead_Zone

The slider is where you can adjust your Dead Zone independently for each axis.
You can also type in a numeric value comprised between 0 and 99% directly into the cell. This value will be saved for your next session.
Fichier_Panel_Dead_Zone
Speed
The slider offers the possibility to adjust the speed for each axis independently, meaning a given angle can trigger a slower or quicker speed according to the value you enter.
You can also type in a numeric value comprised between 0 and 99% directly into the cell. This value will be saved for your next session.
Fichier_Panel_Speed
Freeze / Unfreeze
Clicking on the Freeze button deactivate your 3dRudder (Frozen).
Clicking anew on the button will re-activate your 3dRudder (In Use) and the position of your feet on the device at this moment becomes your new neutral position.
Tip:
using the Freeze command proves really helpful to modify your neutral position at any moment.
You can also trigger the Freeze control by typing "3drudderfreeze" in the command bar of Rhino3D.

A new DIVE-Turbine has been delivered to the Hydro Power Plant Mancioux (France) for EDF France. After a period of renovation the power plant was restarted in March 2019 with three DIVE-Turbines. The new DIVE-Turbine has a runner diameter of 1450mm and an installed capacity of 580 kW.
In 2015 two twin Francis turbines have been replaced at a retorift of hydro power plant Mancioux. In 2018 a third turbine was to be installed in another empty turbine chamber. After three years of operation with DIVE-Turbines the customer, EDF France, decided for another DIVE-Turbine.
The first two turbines were speed-variable DIVE-Turbines, the new turbine is a fixed-speed turbine. The two speed-variable turbines regulate the head at variable discharge and heads. Therefore the fixed-speed turbine is run at permanent flow conditions (80%-100%) and is directly connected to the grid without inverter losses.
Thus the unit of turbine and generator reaches efficiencies up to 86% from the hydraulic energy of the water up to the public grid.
The new turbine of Mancioux is the 39th DIVE-Turbine on the grid.

Modius Research Highlight: The Science of Measurement
Modius Solution Supports Data Center Management Best Practice as Highlighted in New Research Paper "The Science of Measurement"
"The Science of Measurement" explains some of the key considerations surrounding performance monitoring and measurements in data centers. The goal of the report is "to help data center managers (both IT and facilities managers) better understand the business value of measuring data center performance characteristics and the considerations that are important to developing a measurement scheme."
You can download a white paper (8 pages) summarizing the major findings of the report by clicking here.
According to the authors, the key lessons for data center managers are:
- Measurement is conducted to inform decisions on actions that can enhance a data center's business value by better accommodating growth, reducing costs, or increasing uptime.
- There are significant opportunities to improve efficiency through a continuous process of incremental changes, as well as through the more traditional "one shot" project-based approach.
- The business or strategic objectives of the measurement effort should drive measurement decisions, and having "the right data" is more important than simply having "more data."
- Data center managers should think carefully before beginning a monitoring program, so that the data collected will be maximally useful for judging operational performance and making decisions.
- After collecting data, managers should take action based on what they have learned. Managers should then continue collecting data to get feedback on the effectiveness of their actions.
- When evaluating potential monitoring systems, managers should examine multiple factors, including:
- Ability to collect data from all desired devices
- Granularity of data collection
- User friendliness and ease of integrating data across devices and time scales
- Scalability for mass deployment and multi-site capability
- Adaptability to new measurement needs
- Trending and analysis of data
- Integration with control systems
- Ability to detect problems and notify data center operators

Borax crystalsThe world wide commercial borate deposits are estimated to be 1010 kg of boron. Turkey and the United States are the world's largest producers of boron.Turkey has almost 72% of the worlds boron potential and boron reserves. Boron does not appear on Earth in elemental form but is found combined in borax, boric acid, colemanite, kernite, ulexite and borates. Boric acid is sometimes found in volcanic spring waters. Ulexite is a borate mineral that naturally has properties of fiber optics.
Economically important sources are from the ore rasorite (kernite) and tincal (borax ore) which are both found in the Mojave Desert of California, with borax being the most important source there. The largest borax deposits are found in Central and Western Turkey including the provinces of Eskişehir, Kütahya and Balıkesir.

union
Class: dataset
(Not Recommended) Set union for dataset array observations
The dataset data type is not recommended. To work with heterogeneous data, use the MATLAB® table data type instead. See MATLAB table documentation for more information.
Syntax
C = union(A,B)
C = union(A,B,vars)
C = union(A,B,vars,setOrder)
[C,iA,iB] = union(___)
Description
C = union(A,B) for dataset arrays A and B returns the combined set of observations from the two arrays, with repetitions removed. The observations in the dataset array C are sorted.
C = union(A,B,vars) returns the combined set of observations from the two arrays, with repetitions of unique combinations of the variables specified in vars removed. The observations in the dataset array C are sorted by those variables.
The values for variables not specified in vars for each observation in C are taken from the corresponding observation in A or B, or from A if there are common observations in both A and B. If there are multiple observations in A or B that correspond to an observation in C, those values are taken from the first occurrence.
C = union(A,B,vars,setOrder) returns the observations in C in the order specified by setOrder.
[C,iA,iB] = union(___) also returns index vectors iA and iB such that C is a sorted combination of the values A(iA,:) and B(iB,:). If there are common observations in A and B, then union returns only the index from A, in iA. If there are repeated observations in A or B, then the index of the first occurrence is returned. You can use any of the previous input arguments.
Input Arguments
A,B
Input dataset arrays.
vars
String array or cell array of character vectors containing variable names, or a vector of integers containing variable column numbers. vars indicates the variables for which union removes repetitions of unique combinations of the variables.
Specify vars as [] to use its default value of all variables.
setOrder
Flag indicating the sorting order for the observations in C. The possible values of setOrder are:
'sorted'Observations in C are in sorted order (default).
'stable'Observations in C are in the same order that they appear in A, then B.
Output Arguments
C
Dataset array with the combined observations of A and B, with repetitions removed. C is in sorted order (by default), or the order specified by setOrder.
iA
Index vector, indicating the observations in A that contribute to the union. iA contains the index to the first occurrence of any repeated observations in A.
iB
Index vector, indicating the observations in B that contribute to the union. If there are common observations in A and B, then union returns only the index from A, in iA. iB contains the index to the first occurrence of any repeated observations in B.

text: The American Board of Family Practice (ABFP) In-training Examination (ITE) is the most frequently used method of evaluation among accredited family practice programs. Despite its common use, there are still misunderstandings regarding the proper interpretation of the ABFP ITE results. The ABFP ITE is a norm-referenced test that allows for comparison of a resident's performance relative to other residents in the same year of training; it does not measure absolute performance. There is a paucity of evidence supporting the validity of the ABFP ITE. The eight specialty areas and clinical set problems lack sufficient reliability to be interpreted per individual resident. The composite score of the ABFP ITE has sufficient reliability to be used as part of a formal and comprehensive evaluation system. Group comparisons using the 10 ABFP ITE measures are appropriate.

It might seem like an overkill, and it probably is. Use this only in complex mixins. Check out the _USER_, _USER_ and _USER_ directives too. And for those who are starstruck with if-else conditional in Sass... Oh yes, you can use it all you want now :)
Sass Map Functions
These are the map functions, as sourced from the SassScript documentation:
map-get($map, $key) : Returns the value in a map associated with a given key.
map-merge($map1, $map2) : Merges two maps together into a new map.
map-remove($map, $keys…) : Returns a new map with keys removed.
map-keys($map) : Returns a list of all keys in a map.
map-values($map) : Returns a list of all values in a map.
map-has-key($map, $key) : Returns whether a map has a value associated with a given key.
keywords($args) : Returns the keywords passed to a function that takes variable arguments.
Keyboard programming
Map Use Cases
How to Loop Through a Map and Generate Classes
We'll create a map plotting Pokemon trainers to their favorite Pokemon.
$trainers: (
ash: pikachu,
misty: magikarp,
brock: onyx
Next, we'll make an each loop that will go through every key and value in a map, and output the keys in a class name, and values into its content!
_USER_ $name, $pokemon in $trainers {
.trainer--#{$name} {
content: $pokemon;
css output.trainer--ash {
content: "pikachu";
.trainer--misty {
content: "magikarp";
.trainer--brock {
content: "onyx";
Multiple Values for Amazeball Buttons Module
Moving on. It's possible to give a key more than one value. This is done by using clippings and entering multiple values with a comma separator. This is a great way to transfer styles for variants of a module, in this example - button.
In our little snippet, the first value will be the background color of the button, the second will be the text color, and finally padding. We will then loop through the keys, and we'll reference the values as a $styles object. We can easily fetch values using nth() function. Let's do this.
$styles: (
error: (red, white, 3rem),
success: (green, white, 2rem),
warning: (yellow, black, 1rem)
.button {
display: inline-block;
background-color: lightgray;
color: darkgray;
padding: 0.5rem;
_USER_ $type, $style in $styles {
$background-color: nth($style, 1);
$font-color: nth($style, 2);
$padding: nth($style, 3);
&--#{$type} {
background-color: $background-color;
color: $font-color;
padding: $padding;
css output.button {
display: inline-block;
background-color: lightgray;
color: darkgray;
padding: 0.5rem;
.button--error {
background-color: red;
color: white;
padding: 3rem;
.button--success {
background-color: green;
color: white;
.button--warning {
background-color: yellow;
color: black;
padding: 1rem'
Handling Layers (z-index)
The infamous z-index. Lots of frontend developers are struggling with it in a sense that they don't have any particular design pattern around it. Usually, z-index is set to 1 if we want a particular layer to be "on top of" something else, 2 if we want another layer to really be "on top of" something else, then 9, then 99, then 9999, then 99999999... and so on. It's easy to get lost. This is where Sass maps can help us.
Let's start with a $layer map. We can name the keys with something meaningful, such as "modal", "tooltip", "offcanvas", and so on.
$layer: (
default: 1,
offcanvas: 100,
dropdown: 150,
modal: 200,
tooltip: 500
Next, we can create a layer function that returns the appropriate z-index, let's say for a dropdown.
_USER_ layer($level) {
_USER_ map-get($layer, $level);
.dropdown {
z-index: layer(dropdown);
Surely, you can skip the function and directly use the map-get() function inside the class, but this way you can use the error handling which we omitted for this example. This is the output:
css output.dropbox {
z-index: 500;
Font Base Styles
A good project has it's own configuration file. One example would be base typography, where you would define base font color, family, size and line height as variables. Perhaps a better way would be to use a map for the said attributes.
$font: (
color: $base-color,
family: (Alegreya, Roboto),
size: 18px,
line-height: 1.6
body {
color: map-get($font, color);
font-family: map-get($font, family);
font-size: map-get($font, size);
line-height: map-get($font, line-height);
Ta daah!
Breakpoints <3
Personal favorite. It's superb to have a place for the breakpoints that are used throughout the project. In this way, similar to the z-index hack, you can have an overview of the breakpoints. Also, you can change the behavior throughout your project by changing only the breakpoints map. You can also easily add new breakpoints, or remove extra ones.
So let's start with a map called $breakpoints.
Our goal is to use breakpoints with implicit names instead of hard pixel values in an element. Because of this, we need a mixin that will output the value of the stated name. I called the mixin "breakpoint" and passed $breakpoints as a parameter. With $type I get the pixel value of the expected breakpoint. First things first, let's create the map.
$breakpoints: (
small: 0,
medium: 640px,
large: 1024px,
xlarge: 1200px,
xxlarge: 1440px
Next, we'll do a mixin called breakpoint, and include the mixin in a.navigation--mobile class like so:
_USER_ breakpoint($breakpoint) {
$breakpoint: map-get($breakpoints, $breakpoint);
_USER_ screen and (min-width: $breakpoint) {
.navigation--mobile {
display: block;
_USER_ breakpoint(medium) {
display: none;
css output.navigation--mobile {
display: block;
_USER_ screen and (min-width: 640px) {
.navigation--mobile {
display: none;
Now I Know Everything, Why Would I Need "Part Two"?
Now that we've covered the basics, there's much more to explore using Sass, but most importantly - you always need to practice. In part two we will use this knowledge, and expand it to a mini project where we'll create simple, colorful, pixelized CSS pocket monsters. Here's a small teaser - all of the drawings will be done with box shadows. Stick around!
Part two is online, you can read it up here!

Report: Flint, Detroit more blighted than hurricane-ravaged New Orleans
The article is based on a study from the Greater New Orleans Data Center, which has been tracking blight in six cities notorious for urban decline.
New Orleans held the unwanted "most blighted" among the six cities -- which also include Cleveland, Baltimore and Youngstown, Ohio -- for five years until the report for 2011, the most recent data available to the Center.
About 21 percent of all New Orleans properties were blighted in 2011, compared with 27 percent in Flint and 24 percent in Detroit, the report says.
The percentage of blight was based on the number of blighted addresses or empty lots plus vacant but habitable homes according to data kept by the U.S. Postal Service.
The study notes that measuring blight can be a challenge because "each municipality defines blight differently, and some don't track blight at all."
The 2011 data for New Orleans is also the first year of the study that includes estimates by the study authors and a larger margin of error because of a change in how the USPS recorded data, according to the study.
