Getting started with MRZ Scanner using Blink ID
With the advancement in technology, various processes keep on being digitized. For example, we can obtain a traveler's information from national identity card or passport in the airports without having to key in every information.
With a scan on the MRZ section of the passport or national identity card, we can obtain information such as the traveler's name, nationality, age, document number, and even an image.
Introduction
This tutorial will build a simple Flutter application with BlinkId SDK to obtain user data from either a national ID or passport. With one quick scan, we will be able to extract information from identity cards, passports, driver licenses and virtually any other government-issued ID.
Table of contents
Prerequisites
In order to follow along, the reader will need the following:
 1. Have Flutter SDK installed on your computer.
 2. Background knowledge of Flutter.
 3. A BlinkId account.
Application setup
 1. On the command line, create a new directory to store our project files by executing the command below.
mkdir mrz
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
 1. Change the working directory to the directory created above and execute the following command to create a new Flutter project.
cd mrz
flutter create --org com.mrzapp mrzapp
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
 1. Once the project is created, open the project in your favourite IDE. In the root project directory, locate the pubspec.yaml file, and add the following dependencies in the dependency section.
 blinkid_flutter: ^5.13.0
 change_app_package_name: any
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
 - blinkid_flutter is the package that we will use to scan the MRZ section of the passport and national identity card to obtain the user data.
 - change_app_package_name is a package that we will use to change the package name of the application.
 1. In the lib directory, add the following code snippet in the main.dart file.
class MRZApp extends StatelessWidget {
 const MRZApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
 @override
 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
 return MaterialApp(
 title: 'Flutter MRZ Scanner',
 theme: ThemeData(
 primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
 ),
 home: const ScanID(),
 );
 }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
MRZ scanning
 1. In the lib directory, create a new file named scan_screen.dart and add the following code snippet.
 2. In the class created above, create a stateful Flutter widget named ScanID and add the following code snippet.
class ScanID extends StatefulWidget {
 const ScanID({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
 @override
 _ScanIDState createState() => _ScanIDState();
}
class _ScanIDState extends State<ScanID> {
 String? _resultString = "";
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
 - In the code snippet above, we created a stateful widget, and in its state class, we have a string _resultString that will store the scanned data.
 1. In the _ScanIDState class, create a scan() method that will scan the MRZ section of the passport and national identity card. Update the scan() method with the following code snippet.
 Future<void> scan() async {
 String license;
 // Set the license key depending on the target platform you are building for.
 if (Theme.of(context).platform == TargetPlatform.iOS) {
 license =
 "";
 } else if (Theme.of(context).platform == TargetPlatform.android) {
 license =
 "";
 } else {
 license =
 "";
 }
 var idRecognizer = BlinkIdCombinedRecognizer();
 idRecognizer.returnFullDocumentImage = true;
 idRecognizer.returnFaceImage = true;
 BlinkIdOverlaySettings settings = BlinkIdOverlaySettings();
 var results = await MicroblinkScanner.scanWithCamera(
 RecognizerCollection([idRecognizer]), settings, license);
 if (!mounted) return;
 // When the scan is cancelled, the result is null therefore we return to the the main screen.
 if (results.isEmpty) return;
 //When the result is not null, we check if it is a passport then obtain the details using the 'getPassportDetails' method and display them in the UI. If the document type is a national id, we get the details using the 'getIdDetails' method and display them in the UI.
 for (var result in results) {
 if (result is BlinkIdCombinedRecognizerResult) {
 if (result.mrzResult?.documentType == MrtdDocumentType.Passport) {
 _resultString = getPassportResultString(result);
 } else {
 _resultString = getIdResultString(result);
 }
 setState(() {
 _resultString = _resultString;
 _fullDocumentFrontImageBase64 = result.fullDocumentFrontImage ?? "";
 _faceImageBase64 = result.faceImage ?? "";
 });
 return;
 }
 }
 }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
 - In the code snippet above, we check the platform and provision the correct license key.
 - We then check if the camera is mounted, and if it is not, we return to the main screen. If the camera is mounted, we scan the document and obtain the result.
Replace the empty string with your license key, that you have obtained from BlinkId.
 1. Until this point, we can scan a passport and a national ID using our application but cannot obtain the scan results. To obtain the scan results, we need to create methods named buildDriverLicenceResult, getIdResultString and getPassportResultString that will return the scan results in a string format. Then, add the following functions to the _ScanIDState class to get the scan results.
//This method is used to obtain the specific user details from the national id from the scan result object.
 String getIdResultString(BlinkIdCombinedRecognizerResult result) {
 // The information below will be otained from the natioal id if they are available.
 // In the case a field is not found, then it is skipped. For example, some national ids do not have the profession field.
 return buildResult(result.firstName, "First name") +
 buildResult(result.lastName, "Last name") +
 buildResult(result.fullName, "Full name") +
 buildResult(result.localizedName, "Localized name") +
 buildResult(result.additionalNameInformation, "Additional name info") +
 buildResult(result.address, "Address") +
 buildResult(
 result.additionalAddressInformation, "Additional address info") +
 buildResult(result.documentNumber, "Document number") +
 buildResult(
 result.documentAdditionalNumber, "Additional document number") +
 buildResult(result.sex, "Sex") +
 buildResult(result.issuingAuthority, "Issuing authority") +
 buildResult(result.nationality, "Nationality") +
 buildDateResult(result.dateOfBirth, "Date of birth") +
 buildIntResult(result.age, "Age") +
 buildDateResult(result.dateOfIssue, "Date of issue") +
 buildDateResult(result.dateOfExpiry, "Date of expiry") +
 buildResult(result.dateOfExpiryPermanent.toString(),
 "Date of expiry permanent") +
 buildResult(result.maritalStatus, "Martial status") +
 buildResult(result.personalIdNumber, "Personal Id Number") +
 buildResult(result.profession, "Profession") +
 buildResult(result.race, "Race") +
 buildResult(result.religion, "Religion") +
 buildResult(result.residentialStatus, "Residential Status") +
 buildDriverLicenceResult(result.driverLicenseDetailedInfo);
 }
 String buildResult(String? result, String propertyName) {
 if (result == null || result.isEmpty) {
 return "";
 }
 return propertyName + ": " + result + "\n";
 }
 //This function creates a complete date based on the date obtained from the scanned document. For example, date of the document issue.
 String buildDateResult(Date? result, String propertyName) {
 if (result == null || result.year == 0) {
 return "";
 }
 return buildResult(
 "${result.day}.${result.month}.$

What is the origin of scut in scut work?
According to Merriam-Webster,
scut work: routine and often menial labor
Probably from medical argot, scut meaning 'junior intern'
First known use: circa 1962
Usage example:
... women who generally feel that they are second-class citizens in the medical profession -- unappreciated and directed by (mostly male) doctors to perform largely scut work.
This ngram shows that scut work was not used before 1960 when it took hold as medical jargon. It supports the idea that the term was not already in general use and subsequently popularized in hospitals, rather that it originated there.
Scut work
This returns us to the medical coinage. Could it be related to meaning (2) in the OED?
1. the short tail of a hare, rabbit, or deer.
2. (inf. chiefly Irish) a person perceived as foolish, contemptible, or objectionable.
There is another theory that it is derived from Oxford University servants called scouts, but I consider this unlikely given the US origin of scut work.
share|improve this question
Der... I don't think it's likely to derive from anything other than OED:2, which seems about as transparent as any word usage can be. Possibly that definition itself came from association of rabbits with simpletons (rabbits are dumb), or with lowly peasants (who would eat more rabbit than other meat). – FumbleFingers Jul 28 '11 at 14:23

In the Wiktionary scutwork entry, one of the references, Medical meanings: a glossary of word origins, suggests either scuttle, or OE scitan (excrement) as possible origins of the scut in scutwork. I think scitan is plausible; note from the etymology of shit:
Noun use for "obnoxious person" is since at least 1508
Wiktionary also suggests for scut as "contemptible person" that the etymology may be from the obsolete sense of scout, which Etymonline explains:
"to reject with scorn," c.1600, of Scandinavian origin (cf. O.N. skuta, skute "taunt"), probably from a source related to shout.
I think you're probably right that meaning (2) of scut is more closely related to scutwork, but note that calling someone contemptible doesn't have to be unrelated to meaning (1) as in the quotations in Wiktionary, or, for example, this 1907 story:
"Don't understand me?" roared the farmer. "What have you done to my darter, you scut, sitting there preening of yersel, like a silly peacock in the sun?"
The angry man approached the bed swiftly, and, seizing Aubrey's pyjama-clad shoulder in a massive fist, thrust his hairy face within an inch of his victim's nose.
"What have you been doin' to my lass?" he roared again. "Now d'yew onderstand me?"
"W-what has she been telling you?" Aubrey was horribly frightened.
"Summat that made me sware you shouldn't leave this house till you'm man and wife all raight and praper accordin' to law."

I'm quite impressed with wiktionary's entry actually. I like the quotations. Here are two more, from Ulysses: "God speed you, scut!" and "Mean bloody scut." – z7sg Ѫ Jul 28 '11 at 21:15
This is not a definitive answer, because all the sources I checked say the origin is not known. But I suspect it probably comes from scuttle, because doing the dishes is the archetypal form of "scut" work, and as Etymonline shows us:
scuttle (n.) "bucket," O.E. scutel "dish, platter," from L. scutella "serving platter," dim. of scutra "flat tray, dish," perhaps related to scutum "shield" (see hide (n.1)). A common Gmc. borrowing from Latin (cf. O.N. skutill, M.Du. schotel, O.H.G. scuzzila, Ger. Schüssel). Meaning "basket for sifting grain" is attested from mid-14c.; sense of "bucket for holding coal" first recorded 1849.
share|improve this answer
I think the ngram I've posted in the question goes against this theory because scut work only really exists from 1960 onwards. – z7sg Ѫ Jul 28 '11 at 20:32
+1 I strongly suspect it came from coal scuttle. – Brock Adams Mar 17 '13 at 10:07
"Scut work" was in use at least as early as 1950. From The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, Volume 22:
... menial tasks commonly known as the "scut work."
Given the general manners of the time, it seems unlikely that this would be used too pejoratively.
James Joyce's, Finnegans Wake (1939) also refers to a character as a "scutfrank" -- which has been interpreted to mean someone who does menial tasks.
share|improve this answer
"Some common unfinished task".

Is this a definition from a dictionary? Why else did you use inverted commas? As it is, you haven't provided an answer for its origins. – Mari-Lou A Aug 23 '13 at 22:27
_USER_-LouA It looks as if the quote marks were added by the editor. The author also suggested the (alleged) origin by capitalising the initial letters of each word. While the author has provided no substantiation for this alleged origin, I think your last 2 sentences should be aimed at the editor! – TrevorD Aug 23 '13 at 23:57

text: Emergence of graphene-derived highly functional materials has transformed chemical and biological sensing. Several novel approaches utilizing chemical modification of graphene oxide (GO) were investigated and implemented using these materials in sensor fabrication for the detection of chemical analytes such as volatile organic compounds (VOC). The detection methods rely on using functionalization of modified graphene derivatives to target select analytes and produce a quantifiable, distinguishable electrical response. In this work, an in-house hydrothermal fluorination technique to synthesize fluorinated-GO (FGO) suspension was developed. The FGO material was drop coated in its solution phase onto interdigitated electrodes to create a chemiresistive gas sensor. An ultra-low-level detection of NH3 (~>2.26 ppm) was observed by the chemiresistive sensor which was extended to detect acetone and distinguish between their individual transient responses. The sensor system is fully integrated and miniaturized making it suitable for point-of-care, continuous health monitoring applications in exhaled breath testing.

You are creating a new manual VAT tax entry, however you are missing the tax code e.g.: 14- Import VAT, standard rate (imposed by customs) 17%, even though it is maintained in the Fine-Tune activity Tax on Goods and Services.
SAP Business ByDesign.
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Tax Management work center.
- Go to Manual Tax Entries view and click VAT Entries subview.
- Click New -> Tax Entry.
- Fill in the necessary information. When you open the Tax Code dropdown menu, tax code 14- Import VAT, standard rate (imposed by customs) 17%, for example, is missing.
The manual tax entry does not support entry of direct taxes such as Import VAT. On the UI (User Interface) an import VAT tax code looks exactly like a regular tax code, but the functionality behind it is different. For regular tax codes you enter a net amount (the value of the good you purchase/sell) which is the base amount for taxes. In an import scenario you sometimes do not even know the base value, you just get an invoice from your customer authority stating how much import VAT you own. In this case you are unable to enter a base amount for calculating taxes. This is why the tax codes for import VAT behave differently. Technically the amount you enter is treated as a tax amount and not as a base amount for tax calculation. We call this a Direct VAT tax code as you enter the VAT directly.
These kinds of tax codes cannot be used in the manual tax entry. The manual tax entry only allows regular tax codes to be used.
In order to create such documents, you can refer to Customs Invoice.
When you import products from other countries, the products may be subject to taxes and duties. You create a customs invoice for these taxes and duties based on the invoice you received from your customs authorities.
You can create customs invoices in the Supplier Invoicing work center on Common Tasks or on Invoice Entry view.

Castle Arch (1.0 miles – unmarked)
Castle Arch
SUMMARY: An average hike to a large unmarked arch. This description involves a stream crossing without a bridge (1 crossing in each direction.) There are better arches in the gorge, but Castle Arch is probably one of the larger arches after Natural Bridge and Sky Bridge, it is definitely one of the larger 10 arches in Red River gorge. My primary disappointment is Castle Arches' close proximity to nearby roads. It is essential to bring a compass and a good map and know how to use them.
RATING: Moderate Hike (about 1.0 miles) The distance is short on this hike, but the entire trail is unmarked. This hike uses unmarked trails and some people have trouble navigating the hike.
Castle Arch
 4. Take the 1st right onto KY-715 N. (5.4 miles)
 5. Park in unmarked parking area on right side (approximately 0.5 miles after Sky Bridge Recreation Area road,) and immediately after another parking area on the left side.
 1. From the pull off where you parked follow the unmarked trail on the same side of the road as it descends to the river. It begins on the right side of the parking area as you are looking at the river (0.1 miles)
 2. Find a place to cross the river ASAP and cross. There is no bridge and good water shoes make the crossing easier.
 3. After crossing the river immediately begin heading up the hill in a line perpendicular to the river. There are many unmarked trails, and following one of them will make the journey easier. (0.3 miles)
 4. At the top of the hill your goal is to come out below a rocky ridge line which means you are most likely below the ridge with Castle Arch. To get to Castle Arch, go around the ridge line to your left. (0.1 miles) There are atleast 2 ways around the ridge to your left. Eventually you will be on the back side of the arch in a little area below the arch and must walk up the last 100 feet or so to get underneath of the arch. Once underneath of Castle Arch you can pass through the arch and around to your right where you can scramble up on top of Castle Arch for better views.
 5. Return to parking area on the unmarked trails (0.5 miles)

text: A noise reduction method of Fresnel computer-generated hologram (CGH) using wavelet transform and smooth filter is presented. Noise in hologram is very difficult to remove because an interference pattern is recorded on a digital camera during the digital processing. It also occurs in the reconstruction process, which is affected by discrete quantizing levels and optical experiment setup. So, we develop an algorithm that is capable of changing pixel values at different scales with imaginary or real value according to the requirements of each position in the hologram. A new algorithm is proposed to satisfy the above requirements using a mathematical transformation between the smooth filter function and mother wavelet function in a wavelet transform. In this paper, a theoretical model to predict the effect of noise is described and verified by the experimental results. Based on this, the resultant noises in the reconstructed image by Fresnel CGH algorithm are decreased clearly when spatial light modulator (SLM) for 3D object is placed at distance from 260 mm to 900 mm. The enhanced 3D images can be obtained from digital holograms using efficient noise reduction algorithm to apply this proposed model.

If you are looking for a recipe that can help you make the most of your bananas, then you might be interested in learning how to make banana bread. There are a few tips to consider when it comes to making this delicious treat.
Making the batter
There are a few things to know before making the batter for banana bread. The first is that the batter should not be over mixed. Over mixing can make the loaf gluey and dense. The second is that the right amount of flour is critical. This will help the bread keep its shape.
The last thing to remember is that the batter should be baked on a pan with an insulated bottom. This helps ensure that the bottom is thoroughly baked and does not brown too much. It also keeps the bread from drying out.
It is important that the flour is properly sifted. This can be done by using a measuring cup or spoon. After sifting the flour, add the dry ingredients into the sugar mixture.
Baking the bread
When it comes to baking banana bread, the key is getting the right ingredients. Using a mixture of bananas, eggs, and sugar helps create a tasty, light loaf.
The trick is to make sure that you mix the dry and wet ingredients well. Overmixing the batter will result in tough, rubbery bread.
The first step is to mash the bananas. You can use a fork, a potato masher, or a mixer. Once the bananas are smooth, add them to the flour and other dry ingredients. You can also add milk or cinnamon for additional flavor.
When you have a bowl of mashed bananas, mix it with a little baking soda. This will help the bread rise. You can also use baking powder instead of baking soda.
Storing the bread
Banana bread is a quick and easy snack to make. It's also great for breakfast or dessert. But, how do you store it?
Banana bread is especially moist, which can cause it to become soggy. The solution is to wrap it up tightly before storing it. It can also be frozen. This will help it last for a longer time.
The first step is to cool the banana bread down. This is very important. It will help prevent moisture from getting trapped inside the plastic wrap. Once the banana bread has cooled, you can then wrap it up.
You can also freeze the whole loaf. This will give it a more solid texture. It will take around 1 to 3 hours for the whole loaf to defrost.
If you have overripe bananas, you can use them to make banana bread, muffins, or even smoothies. Bananas are loaded with natural sugars, potassium, and fiber. They also contain ethylene, a natural gas that speeds up the ripening process of many fruits and vegetables.
If you have a lot of overripe bananas, consider freezing them in the freezer. This will allow you to use them in your banana bread recipes for a longer period of time.
Overripe bananas are a great way to add a sweet and creamy texture to your banana bread. You can use a few whole overripe bananas in your recipe, or mix mashed overripe bananas with your favorite oats. If you plan on serving your banana bread, you may want to sprinkle some turbinado sugar on top.
If you have banana bread leftover, you can make it into a tasty dessert. Using a variety of toppings, you can customize your pudding to be as sweet or as savory as you like.
Banana bread is also ideal for use in a dessert sandwich. It's soft and moist, and you can add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the top. You can serve the finished sandwich with butter or whipped cream.
If you want a more tropical flavor, you can use coconut flakes in the batter. You can also sprinkle toasted coconut on your sandwich. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, you can replace some of the sugar with honey.
If you have a few slices of leftover banana bread, you can try putting it in a casserole dish or baking pan. You can then bake it for an hour or two, or until it's golden brown.

Many Oklahomans forget the importance of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System (MKARNS). The 445-mile inland waterway system begins at the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, running through Oklahoma and Arkansas all the way to the Mississippi River.
The system was authorized by the 1946 Rivers and Harbors Act, but Congress didn't appropriate the $1.2 billion until 1956. Robert S. Kerr (D-OK) and John L. McClellan (D-AR) pioneered the development of the system, giving it the name it has today. MKARNS officially opened in December 1970 and is operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced that it will host a public forum discussing the methods used to test for asbestos fibers in talc-based products, as well as the terminology and criteria that can be used to measure the carcinogen in consumer products. During that forum, the FDA will discuss preliminary recommendations from the Interagency Working Group on Asbestos in Consumer Products (IWGAC)—an interagency working group formed in 2018 to support the development of standardized testing methods for asbestos and other harmful particles.
The purpose of the IWGAC is to address the terminology and definitions of asbestos, recommend improvements for measuring asbestos in talc-based products, and recommend testing standards to test these products. The FDA forum comes two-years after the agency first began investigating reports of asbestos in talcum powder products, during which time it tested 50 such products and confirmed the presence of asbestos in some. One of those examinations in October 2019 revealed the presence of asbestos fibers in a lot of Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder, which caused the company to voluntarily recall 33,000 bottles of the iconic product.
Specifically, the IWGAC recommends adopting the term elongate mineral particles (EMP) to be "any mineral particle with a minimum aspect ratio of 3:1," as to resolve ambiguity and disagreement of asbestos vs non-asbestos identification. Testing laboratories report all EMP having a length of over 500 nm and that testing methods specify reportable EMP identified as certain types of asbestos.


Farther vs Further
These two English words are very similar; keep reading for further information.
Farther means "more far/distant" in physical space.
Tom ran farther than Bill.
Which is farther, New York or Los Angeles?
Farthest means "the most far/distant."
I prefer the seat farthest from the window.
Pluto was once considered the farthest planet from the sun.
Further means "more far/distant" figuratively or non-physically, and can also mean "more/additional":
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Who is further along in her research?
Do you have any further ideas?
Further is also a verb: "to advance":
This class will further your understanding of ethics.
Furthest means "the most far/distant" figuratively.
That is the furthest thing from my mind.
The Bottom Line
Many English speakers use both farther and further to mean "more far" in space, but only further can be used for non-physical distance and to mean simply "more." If you are talking about actual distance, you can usually use either word without raising any eyebrows, but keep further in mind for all of your English furthering efforts.

Specifically designed to meet the demands for water within a bathroom, en-suite or utility room, CT Bathroom pumps will increase the water pressure to bath taps, basin taps, toilets and showers. Suitable for up to 4 outlets.
A universal (negative head) pump is suitable for systems where there is low or no natural flow.
These pumps pressurise the pipework between the pump and the outlet. When an outlet, like a tap or shower, is turned on, the pressure drops which a sensor in the pump recognises and activates the pump.
A positive head pump requires a minimum natural flow to activate, it will then assist and improve a natural flow of water.
Positive head pumps use a flow sensor to monitor the natural flow of water (without the pump) passing through the system. When the flow sensor detects a flow rate on both hot and cold of at least 2 litre per minute the pump will turn on.
Learn how to measure your water flow.
A gravity fed system is either positive head or negative head, depending on the natural flow rate of the water in the home.
Watch our video to learn how to measure the water flow rate and discover when a positive head will work for the system. If you are unable to achieve the minimum flow rate of 2 litres per minute from all hot or cold water outlets that are to be pumped, you will need to install a universal (negative head) pump.

Stochastic thermodynamic cycles of a mesoscopic thermoelectric engine
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2021
We analyze a steady-state thermoelectric engine, whose working substance consists of two capacitively coupled quantum dots. One dot is tunnel-coupled to a hot reservoir serving as a heat source, the other one to two electrically biased reservoirs at a colder temperature, such that work is extracted under the form of a steady-state current against the bias. In single realizations of the dynamics of this steady-state engine autonomous, four-stroke cycles can be identified. The cycles are purely stochastic, in contrast to mechanical autonomous engines which exhibit self-oscillations. In particular, these cycles fluctuate in direction and duration and occur in competition with other spurious cycles. Using a stochastic thermodynamic approach, we quantify the cycle fluctuations and relate them to the entropy produced during individual cycles. We identify the cycle mainly responsible for the engine performance and quantify its statistics with tools from graph theory. We show that such stochastic cycles are made possible because the work extraction mechanism is itself stochastic instead of the periodic time dependence in the working-substance Hamiltonian which can be found in conventional mechanical engines. Our investigation brings new perspectives about the connection between cyclic and steady-state engines.

What happens if your horse scratches in a Pick 6?
Because all pick 6 wagers must be made before the first of the six races, there are many times when a horse is scratched from a race well after the wager is placed. In other cases, the track may declare combinations involving the scratched horse to have "no action," and the wager is refunded.
Why do they call it a pick 6?
Interceptions are frustrating for the offense because the ball is intended for a player on their team. After an interception, the defensive player that caught the ball has an opportunity to run it back for a touchdown. Anytime an interception is returned for a touchdown, it's called a pick six.
How much is a $10 trifecta box?
Your choices for third position, in order of preference, are horses 1, 5, 6. Rather than box five horses at the cost of $60 you could play the following. $10 Trifecta part wheel 2,4 WITH 2,4 WITH 1 = 2 $10 combinations = $20.
What is a Rainbow Pick 6?
The Rainbow Six is a Pick Six with a twist. Just like in the Pick Six, you must pick the winner of six consecutive races that are usually the hardest races to handicap on a given day at one track. However, unlike the standard Pick Six, the Rainbow Six only pays out when there is one winning ticket.

There's a hole in the middle of Prague, and we want you to know what's in it. The early 1980s metro station at Národní třída is the scene of a fascinating archaeological dig that we'll be visiting in this month's Science Journal.
The Národní třída metro station that most of us know was a metaphorical hole even before the dig – a line of fast food kiosks between two chrome and plastic socialist structures that was a favourite stomping ground for beggars and winos. Plans to develop the plaza for office and shopping space has peeled back the grimy surface of this historic part of Prague to reveal century after century of history in strata that can be read like a book back to the 1100s. Here to do that for me is Polish archaeologist Tomasz Cymbalak, who is heading the dig.
"What we see in front of us are the remains of the townhouses that used to be here. There are five of them here, and the way they looked changed from small houses of townspeople to larger buildings that were built further back from the street. Through time, the structure gets more dense, they added wells and waste pits, and those are the places where we make the most finds. And aside from those coins, pottery fragments, bones and so on, we have taken various samples for archeo-botanic analyses, so we will be able to reconstruct the early Praguers' diet, the illnesses they suffered from, and so on."
So from where we're stranding now – about four or five metres above the bottom of the dig – we can see a very compact kind of maze of stone walls from which you can kind of see what a busy place this city was even that long ago...
"Yes, it shows the very lively development of this part of the city. The place where we are standing is actually the border between Old Town and New Town. Right next to the place we are studying was an ancient road that led from Prague Castle through Old Town to Vyšehrad, and one of the gates to the city through the fortification was a few dozen metres from here. So this was a gathering point for traders and other service tradesmen. In the later periods, like in the 17th and 18th century, then of course the social structure of the inhabitants changed and Renaissance buildings are built, followed by Baroque and Neoclassical and so on."
Archaeologists did of course know there would be findings here – aside from the evidence from the sonar scans that preceded the dig, you will always find layers of pottery, bones and other relics wherever you dig down into city centre Prague. But they were nonetheless greatly surprised by the excellent way everything under Národní Třída had been preserved, even despite the encroachment of the metro in the 1980s, and the dates that the evidence went back to. While they expected 14th century remnants from the establishment of New Town by Charles IV, they found even the predecessors of those structures – not the wooden and mud buildings themselves per say, but the outlines of them left like photonegatives left in the ground. Another surprise was a burial site lying just under what is now Tesco.
"What you see here is part of a burial site where the individual bodies have been laid in ordered rows like on a chessboard. We have already dug out the graves here. The bodies were laying with their heads to the west, feet to the east, with their arms by their sides, and the state they were in was surprising, because they were wonderfully preserved. So all in all we uncovered six graves that I would tentatively date to the turn of the 13th century."
"We know that among them there were about three women – the anthropological survey is still underway. The bones show that the deceased worked in a hunched over position, they did hard work that left its mark on their skeletons. We are also going to do a DNA analysis as well and from that we should have some approximate idea as to their ethnicity or where they were from."
Can you describe what it might have looked like right here at Národní Třída at the time that these graves were dug, in the 12th to 13th centuries?
"The structures were primarily wooden, with a couple stone buildings and were compacted together. The road network was much smaller than it is today, there were less streets, but the road that we are on just now existed even in the early Middle Ages, and that's Spalená Street. The water situation was different, there must have been several creeks here, and we know that the terrain was much more rolling, with small hills and sunken farm paths. There was of course much more greenery – bushes and trees. There were groups of houses – like countryside cottages – one next to the other, making small units. What was in this area was a small settlement that provided material support for the Old Town."
Under what is going to be a very modern multifunctional building at this site you can follow the complex meshing of one era into another. As the farmers ran out of space for storing their products and feeding their animals, the space became used more and more by merchants and craftsmen, until even more people begin moving to the city in the 19th century and there is more residential rather than economic area. In the 20th century the lot changes altogether, filling up with restaurants, offices, administrative spaces and so on, showing the various needs of each century until it is cemented over for the construction of the Soviet-style metro station. The metro in fact runs just metres away from ancient cellars still being explored and learned from beneath Spalená Street.
"Four or five."
Four or five metres, and it's very cool now, and it's very beautiful.
"This is the oldest of the cellars that we have here, so it's from the mid 1300s. The layout of this cellar is beautifully legible and it's a wonderful teaching aid for students and art historians. You can follow the development of building methods and urban transformation on the structure here. The walls show right here that the original floor was almost two metres higher, and the ceiling was not vaulted but flat. As they ran out of space they made these other cellars under the street; this one is twice as large, and they stop changing things for the most part at the beginning of the 16th century. And next door there are another two cellars, each about three times larger than this one...
"What we see here is a wartime passage hole. During WWII, when they found there were too few air raid shelters, the protectorate government ordered that the gothic cellars be used, because they were of such massive design, and they made these passageways between them so that if one began to collapse people could run to another. It's wonderful, you have a real example here of how people lived and how things worked."
Coming back up to the busy streets above is something of a shock, and it is a beautiful reminder of everything the modern world is literally based on and derives from. As one shopping centre and multifunctional building springs up in Prague after another, I'm concerned about whether these ruins will go the way of so many others, being documented only to be preserved in archives while progress ploughs over the real thing forever. The answer is happily no.
"It looks like most of the 11 cellars on this site will remain and will be written on to the list of cultural monuments. The intention for the future is that it be made accessible to the public in what could be a protected archaeological zone. Maybe in the end it will be preserved partly for archaeological and teaching purposes, or there could be a kind of gallery where the original structures that are in very good condition can remain and will not be damaged."
That was archaeologist Tomasz Cymbalak ending that edition of Science Journal. Thanks for joining us today and I hope you'll tune in again next month.

The Historic Village at Allaire is a living history museum that interprets the Howell Iron Works Company founded in 1822. The museum demonstrates historic crafts such as blacksmithing, hearth cooking, carpentry, tinsmithing, and many others...
Open from
The Historic Village at Allaire was once an iron-producing, factory-town known as the Howell Iron Works, Co. The Village was a self-sufficient community containing a carpentry and pattern making shop, a blacksmith shop, a bakery, a boarding house, a blast furnace, mills to finish iron products, a school, a church, a general store with a post office, and workers' home. Iron produced at the village was shipped to New York City by wagon and steamship. It was used to produce steam engines parts in a factory also owned by our proprietor, James P. Allaire. The Howell Iron Works was a typical community at the time and speaks to the experiences of the economic and social changes of those who experienced early Industrial America.
The 23-acre museum is located within Allaire State Park. The property was donated to the State of New Jersey for use as an educational and recreational center by the estate of Arthur Brisbane.

pensando module parses distributed firewall logs created by the
Pensando distributed services card (DSC).
When you run the module, it performs a few tasks under the hood:
- Sets the default paths to the log files (but don't worry, you can override the defaults)
- Makes sure each multiline log event gets sent as a single event
- Uses ingest node to parse and process the log lines, shaping the data into a structure suitable for visualizing in Kibana
- Deploys dashboards for visualizing the log data
Read the quick start to learn how to configure and run modules.
The Pensando module has been tested with 1.12.0-E-54 and later.

In this paper, we demonstrate the application of deep neural networks (DNNs) for processing the reflectance spectrum from a fiberoptic temperature sensor composed of densely inscribed fiber Bragg gratings (FBG). Such sensors are commonly avoided in practice since close arrangement of short FBGs results in distortion of the spectrum caused by mutual interference between gratings. In our work the temperature sensor contained 50 FBGs with the length of 0.95 mm, edge-to-edge distance of 0.05 mm and arranged in the 1500–1600 nm spectral range. Instead of solving the direct peak detection problem for distorted signal, we applied DNNs to predict temperature distribution from entire reflectance spectrum registered by the sensor. We propose an experimental calibration setup where the dense FBG sensor is located close to an array of sparse FBG sensors. The goal of DNNs is to predict the positions of the reflectance peaks of the reference sparse FBG sensors from the reflectance spectrum of the dense FBG sensor. We show that a convolution neural network is able to predict the positions of FBG reflectance peaks of sparse sensors with mean absolute error of 7.8 pm that is slightly higher than the hardware reused interrogator equal to 5 pm. We believe that dense FBG sensors assisted with DNNs have a high potential to increase spatial resolution and also extend the length of a fiber optical sensors.

$2750 a month for every adult, guaranteed? Switzerland's considering it
Five cent coins are pictured in the air in front of the Federal Palace in Bern, Switzerland, during an event organized by the committee proposing a minimum monthly household income of 2,500 Swiss francs for every adult citizen living in Switzerland.
Denis Balibouse/Reuters
Here's a deal: Each month the Swiss government will send every adult a check for about 2,500 swiss francs (roughly $2,750) — no matter their need or income.
Player utilities
At least, that's the proposal before the Swiss people.
In response to growing economic inequality, a grassroots movement in Switzerland collected the 100,000 signatures needed to secure a national referendum on their basic income proposal. Swiss law states any petition that receives at least 100,000 signatures will be voted on nationally.
"It is not as kooky as it sounds," says Karl Widerquist, a Georgetown University professor who has researched basic income policy for a decade. "It's the idea of putting a floor under people's income, the idea that income doesn't have to start at zero."
Basic income is a social security system in which the government regularly gives each citizen a sum of money — with no conditions.
Widerquist points to one example of a similar system here in the United States. With Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend, the government divides up some of the state's yearly oil revenue and gives a portion to each resident. The amount fluctuates year to year, from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand.
But the proposed measure in Switzerland would be much greater, adding up to more than $30,000 in guaranteed annual income for each adult.
In recent studies in Africa and India, Widerquist said giving people unconditional monetary gifts often increases labor.
"A basic income, in a way, frees you to improve your skills and your efforts and do something that actually makes a bigger contribution to economy," he says.
No date has been set for the national referendum on Switzerland's guaranteed income proposal.

Yalwal is the site of a former gold mining town of the same name situated 29 km (18 mi) west of Nowra at the confluence of the Dangera and Yarramunmun Creeks which then forms Yalwal Creek which flows into the Shoalhaven River. It is now the site of a City of Shoalhaven managed picnic area and Dangera Dam.
Gold was first discovered in the area by Rev W.B. Clarke in 1852. Successful sluicing operations began in 1870 by J. Sivewright and party but were disrupted by the great flood of 1871. In 1872 open cut mining operations were begun at the Pinnacle when the main reef was discovered. The first shafts were sunk in the Homeward Bound mine in 1872 with payable gold found in 1874. In 1875 the first stamp battery (5 head) was erected. In 1880 a mail receiving station was opened and in 1884 a public school opened, it closed in 1918, reopened in 1924 and finally closed in 1928.

Organic chemistry students choose House Cup teams.
Professor Angela King had an OMG moment last year at a teaching retreat, which led her to change how her organic chemistry classes operate.
King realized, "What a student expects to learn and how they expect to do in a class actually impacts their learning."
For example, a student might take a divisional class and assume they will get an A because it's viewed as their "easy" class. "They are already calculating their GPA based on that A and will do whatever it takes to get that A," she said, "while a student who takes a class perceived as more difficult, like my organic chemistry course, just wants to pass the class."

How can one determine the position of a symbol on the typeset page? Possible uses:
 - One page contains a fill-in-the-blanks text, and the opposite page contains only the solution words, each starting at the same position on the page where the blank started. The blanks on the first page should all be of equal length in order to not reveal any information. It can be assumed that the solution expressions don't overlap (and if they do, one can still manually adjust).
 - relative anchoring: One has typeset a complex diagram or equation, and one then creates a series of transformations. For example, diagram 2 is like diagram 1, but with the complex middle portion simplified so that one can focus on other parts; the relative positioning of certain outer elements of diagram 1 should be the same in diagram 2 to help the reader understand which diagram elements correspond. For this one would need to be able to obtain the coordinates of certain outer elements so that one can subtract them.

The zref package's savepos module uses \pdfsavepos that can save the (x,y) coordinate of a "label" in scaled points (sp). You can then use this to position things on another page, possibly using tikz.
Here's a small example to showcase the savepos module (take from Where is the left-hand margin? and modified slightly):
enter image description here
\usepackage[user,pagelayout,savepos]{zref}% _URL_
During page shipout, \verb|\oddsidemargin| is
\zref[oddsidemargin]{thepage}sp. (You won't be fooled)
FOO begins at (\zposx{leftanchor}sp, \zposy{leftanchor}sp)
and ends at (\zposx{rightanchor}sp, \zposy{rightanchor}sp).
From the zref documentation:
Horizontal positions by \zposx increase from left to right. Vertical positions by zposy from bottom to top.

Cheeses With Weird Names
The Names of Origin
The majority of cheeses have names that represent where they were originally produced – this is an easy one.
A couple of examples: Valençay comes from the village of Valençay, Cantal comes from the Cantal area of the Auvergne region, Comté comes from the Franche-Comté region, and so on and so forth… Cheese names can also come from local geographical landmarks, like Mont d'Or of the mountain of the same name, which literally means the Golden Mountain. There are also compound names, like Ossau-Iraty, which can be produced in the Ossau Valley in the Pyrenees, but also in the forested region of Iraty on the border of France and Spain.
The Visual Names
Some names refer to the cheese's shape: the Bûchette du Bois-Rond, which translates to the Small Log of Bois-Rond (in the shape of a small, wood log), the Pavé d'Auge or Auge's Cobblestone (in the shape of a cobblestone), the Carré de l'Est, which means The Square of the East (in the shape of a square), the Boule de Lille, also known as Mimolette, meaning the Ball from Lille (in the shape of a ball), the Brique du Forez, which translates to the Brick of Forez (in the shape of a brick)… okay, you get the idea…
The Historic Names
Some examples :
In the 5th century CE, the Heathens were wont to burn, rape and pillage, making it difficult to live in Aveyron in Southern France, or anywhere else for that matter. A small village of ferocious and steadfast Aveyronian shepherds decided to fight back by fortifying their village, which consequently became known as Roca forta in Latin, meaning The Fortress. The name of the village morphed into Roquefort, then Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. The cheese originating from this village inherited its name.
In the 7th century CE, Italian Benedictine monks moved into the Fecht Valley in Eastern France and build a monastery in honor of Saint Gregory. The surrounding area came to be called the Valley of Saint Gregory, then the Munster Valley, from the latin monasterium, or monastery. The monks made a washed rind cheese at the monastery which was baptised with the same name.
La cervelle de Canut, or Canut's Brain
It's not a brain but a local specialty from the southeastern French city of Lyon: fresh, soft cheese, also known as fromage blanc, mixed with chives and herbs. This kind of cheese was cheap to make and rich in protein; essentially what the poor ate. And the poor in 19th century Lyon were the silk weavers, also known as "canuts." The "brain" of Canuts' Brain is in reference to the shape of the cheese.
The Dialectal Names
This word comes from the verb "re-blocher" in the dialect of the Savoy region, literally meaning "to pinch again," as in "to milk a second time." Back then farmers were taxed on their milk production, so they would milk a first time while the inspector was watching, then a second time in secret to make Reblochon, or "Second Milking!"
Le Chabichou du Poitou, Chavignol and others
This name derives from the arabic chebli, which means "small goat." In their conquest of land, the Moors raided and conquered the Poitou-Charentes and Limousin regions of France in the 8th century CE. Some of the Moors decided to settle in their newly occupied land, began making goat cheese and taught the local population their techniques — hence the name Chabichou of Poitou.
The name Pélardon comes from "pebre" in the old Occitan dialect, meaning "pepper." The Pélardon is a smal, round, flat cheese made in the South-Central mountainous region of Cévennes which has a spicy and peppery taste.
The Gross Names!
Le vieux puant (also known as vieux Lille, gris de Lille), or Old Stinky (or Old Lille, or The Drunk of Lille).
This cheese is a mutant Maroilles. The French cheese Maroilles, as is, already makes you wrinkle your nose. So now take a Maroilles and soak it in salt water for three long months. Now you've got a good and stinky Vieux Lille.
The cacouyard or shit balls
This name is born of the verb "cacouyer," meaning "to stir or mix cheese" in the old Franc-comtois dialect of the Franche-Comté region. The name in French has a nice ring to it: Shit Balls.
Le trou du cru or Butthole
Yes, okay, sometimes cheese smells bad but it's not what you think…
The "trou de cru," which literally means the "hole in the raw," is actually a byproduct of making Époisses cheese. Since it was difficult to get Époisses to age consistently all the way to the center of the cheese, the center was removed while it was still somewhat raw — that is to say not aged. Quite simply, they made hole in the raw cheese. In French, however, the name sounds almost identical to "butt hole."
Le crottin de chavignol, or The Poop of Chavignol
The Poop of Chavignol got its name from the term "crot" of the central Berry region of France, which refers to the river bank where, back in the day, women used to wash laundry. The clay along the river was used by peasants, first for oil lamps, then as molds to drain cheese curd. "Crot" gave way to "crottin," the container giving its name to the contents. In French, however, "crot" sounds pretty similar to the word for poop…
There are other names that seem to have fallen from the sky. That's because they make people laugh and it sells: le téton de Saint-Agathe or Saint-Agathe's Titty, le bouton de culotte or the Painties' Button, la boule des moines or The Monks' One Ball…
You see, French people can be creative!

What does root pressure mean?
Definitions for root pressure
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word root pressure.
Wiktionary
 1. root pressure(Noun)
 The pressure (the result of osmosis) exerted by the roots of vascular plants that moves water into the leaves and causes guttation.
Freebase
 1. Root pressure
 Root pressure is osmotic pressure within the cells of a root system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves. Root pressure occurs in the xylem of some vascular plants when the soil moisture level is high either at night or when transpiration is low during the day. When transpiration is high, xylem sap is usually under tension, rather than under pressure, due to transpirational pull. At night in some plants, root pressure causes guttation or exudation of drops of xylem sap from the tips or edges of leaves. Root pressure is studied by removing the shoot of a plant near the soil level. Xylem sap will exude from the cut stem for hours or days due to root pressure. If a pressure gauge is attached to the cut stem, the root pressure can be measured. Root pressure is caused by active distribution of mineral nutrient ions into the root xylem. Without transpiration to carry the ions up the stem, they accumulate in the root xylem and lower the water potential. Water then diffuses from the soil into the root xylem due to osmosis. Root pressure is caused by this accumulation of water in the xylem pushing on the rigid cells. Root pressure provides a force, which pushes water up the stem, but it is not enough to account for the movement of water to leaves at the top of the tallest trees. The maximum root pressure measured in some plants can raise water only to about 7 meters, and the tallest trees are over 100 meters tall.

In the wrong environment with fluctuating temperatures or humidity levels, any meat can go bad. When the steak is in a controlled environment for the right period of time, it creates a rich, flavorful piece of meat that your customers will enjoy. A dry-aging cabinet allows you to do just that, controlling both temperature, humidity, and ventilation levels in order to properly manage the beef.
What Makes a Good Dry-Aging Cabinet?
A good dry-aging cabinet will have a great ventilation system with advanced temperature control that keeps the meat from spoiling, aging it to perfection. When looking for a dry-aging cabinet, those systems should create a cold and humid climate to ensure optimal drying and ripening process.
As one of the most temperature-sensitive foods, it's important to have your steak properly stored and controlled from the moment you receive it. In order for the steak to dry-age correctly to achieve flavorful profiles, it needs to live in a climate between 34.7 degrees to 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit. With such a tight temperature window, a dry-aging cabinet will need all the right technology to maintain these levels.
Oxygen is also important to the dry-aging process. The oxygen ventilation allows the signature dry-age crusting to form. Bad germs can form in "standing" air, so having good ventilation is crucial to keeping a constant flow of fresh and clean.
How to Find a Premium Dry-Aging Cabinet
Having a great dry-aging cabinet is important to properly aging your steak so you can offer your customers premium, dry-aged beef. At The Aging Room, our dry-aging chamber combines traditional aging processes with modern technologies. Precise climate control equipment combined with a Himalayan salt wall creates an aging-friendly, natural microclimate to dry-age steaks.
With a premium dry ager like The Aging Room Chamber, you get more benefits on top of the perfect system to manage temperature and climate:
 1. The volume of the interior of the chamber is designed to maximize the effectiveness of the aging process.
 2. All systems of the chamber create and circulate a salty cold and humid microclimate to ensure an optimal drying and ripening process.
 3. The lighting in the chamber, including the lighting behind the salt, is calibrated to create an enticing visual experience for the customer.
 4. All steel fittings and insulation inside the chamber have been tested to withstand the high humidity and salt environment.
 5. We provide a high-quality wooden butcher block so your meat specialist can cut the steaks inside the chamber.

/code> types don't have move semantics, but they act the same at runtime. The only difference is whether the static checks allow you to use the source location afterwards.

All in all, moves in Rust are more ergonomic and less surprising. Rust's treatment of moves should also perform better, because there's no need to leave the source object in a valid state, and there's no need to call move constructors on individual elements of a collection. (But can we benchmark this?)

There's a bunch of other stuff in this chapter that doesn't apply to Rust. For example, "The interaction among perfect-forwarding constructors and compiler-generated copy and move operations develops even more wrinkles when inheritance enters the picture." This is the kind of sentence that will make me run away screaming. Rust doesn't have any of those features, gets by fine without them, and thus avoids such bizarre interactions.

Chapter 6: Lambda Expressions

C++ allows closures to be copied; Rust doesn't.

In C++ you can specify whether a lambda expression's captures are taken into the closure by reference or by value, either individually or for all captures at once. In Rust this is mostly inferred by how you use the captures: whether they are mutated, and whether they are moved from. However, you can prefix the <a href="_URL_ keyword to force all captures to be taken by value. This is useful when the closure itself will outlive its environment, common when spawning threads for example.

Rust uses this inference for another purpose: determining which Fn* traits a closure will implement. If the lambda body moves out of a capture, it can only implement <a href="_URL_ whose "call" operator takes self by value. If it doesn't move but does mutate captures, it will implement FnOnce and <a href="_URL_ whose "call" takes &mut self. And if it neither moves nor mutates, it will implement all of FnOnce, FnMut, and <a href="_URL_ C++ doesn't have traits (yet) and doesn't distinguish these cases. If your lambda moves from a capture, you can call it again and you'll see whatever "empty" value was left behind by the move constructor.

Rust doesn't support init capture; however, move capture is supported natively. You can do whatever init you like outside the lambda and then move the result in.

Like C++, Rust allows inference of closure parameter types. Unlike C++, an individual closure cannot be generic.

Chapter 7: The Concurrency API

Rust doesn't have futures in the standard library; they're part of <a href="_URL_ external library maintained by a core Rust developer. They're also used for <a href="_URL_ I/O.

In C++, dropping a <a href="_URL_ that is still running terminates the program, which certainly seems un-fun to me. The behavior is justified by the possibility that the thread captures by reference something from its spawning context. If the thread then outlived that context, it would result in undefined behavior. In Rust, this can't happen because <a href="_URL_ has a 'static bound on the type of f. So, when a Rust <a href="_URL_ falls out of scope, the thread is safely detached and continues to run.

The other possibility, in either language, is to join threads on drop, waiting for the thread to finish. However this has surprising performance implications and <a href="_URL_ isn't enough to allow threads to safely borrow from their spawning environment. Such "scoped threads" are provided by <a href="_URL_ in Rust and use a different technique to ensure safety.

C++ and Rust both provide atomic variables. In C++ they support standard operations such as assignment, ++, and atomic reads by conversion to the underlying type. These all use the "sequentially consistent" <a href="_URL_ ordering, which provides the strongest guarantees. Rust is more explicit, using dedicated methods like fetch_add which also specify the <a href="_URL_ ordering. (This kind of API is also available in C++.)

This chapter also talks about the C++ type qualifier <a href="_URL_ even though it has to do with stuff like memory-mapped I/O and not threads. Rust doesn't have volatile types; instead, a volatile read or write is done using an <a href="_URL_ function.

Chapter 8: Tweaks

Rust containers don't have methods like <a href="_URL_ You can however use the experimental <a href="_URL_ feature.

Conclusions

Rust and C++ share many features, allowing a detailed comparison between them. Rust is a much newer design that isn't burdened with 20 years of backwards compatibility. This I think is why Rust's versions of these core features tend to be simpler and easier to reason about. On the other hand, Rust gains some complexity by enforcing strong static guarantees.

There are of course some differences of principle, not just historical quirks. C++ has an object system based on classes and inheritance, even allowing multiple inheritance. There's no equivalent in Rust. Rust also prefers simple and explicit semantics, while C++ allows a huge amount of implicit behavior. You see this for example with implicit copy construction, implicit conversions, ad-hoc function overloading, quasi-transparent references, and the operators on atomic values. There are still some implicit behaviors in Rust, but they're carefully constrained. Personally I prefer Rust's explicit style; I find there are too many cases where C++ doesn't "do what I mean". But other programmers may disagree, and that's fine.

I hope and expect that C++ and Rust will converge on similar feature-sets. C++ is scheduled to get <a href="_URL_ proper module system, <a href="_URL_ "concepts" system similar to traits, and <a href="_URL_ subset with statically-checkable memory safety. Rust will eventually have <a href="_URL_ generics, <a href="_URL_ generics, and more powerful const fn. It's an exciting time for both languages :)

Coherence of Business Cycles and Economic Shocks between Croatia and Euro Area Member States
|Authors||Karlo Kotarac, Davor Kunovac and Rafael Ravnik|
|JEL||F33, F44, E42, C32|
cycle coherence, aggregate supply and demand shocks, symmetric and asymmetric shocks
The paper analyses the coherence of business cycles and supply and demand shocks between Croatia and euro area core countries. The results obtained point to several basic conclusions. Firstly, the coherence of business cycles and the correlation of supply and demand shocks between Croatia and euro area core countries are relatively high. Secondly, symmetric (common) shocks are dominant for explaining the dynamics in domestic GDP, while the contributions of asymmetric shocks are significantly smaller. Thirdly, the results point to the convergence of supply and demand shocks and business cycles between Croatia and euro area core countries. Based on all of the above, we may conclude that the introduction of the euro and the related adoption of the common countercyclical monetary policy should not result in significant costs for the Croatian economy.

, sugar, and coffee into which platform robot) is not visible from the timing diagram. It is only visible from the trace window or log file.
- Blue bubble 5. Task1_3 pours coffee into platform robot 1.
Comparing figures 4 and 6, route 1 is almost busy all the time. Therefore, the throughput of the coffee machine with two platform robots is increased.
But, if looking carefully, the machine with two platform robots can be even faster. The reason is that the coffee robot can serve another platform robot while milk and sugar robots are serving one platform robot, if the time of putting one cup on the platform is shorter than the time of pouring coffee by the coffee robot.
To increase the speed of the coffee machine, an engine design with different route configuration is used. Route 1 represents the actions of serving sugar, milk, and coffee to platform robot 1. Route 2 represents the actions of serving sugar, milk, and coffee to platform robot 2. The design of route 3 and 4 are the same as before. Figure 7 is the timing diagram of a new coffee machine.
Figure 7. New concurrency of higher system throughput for the coffee machine with 2 platform robots
The five blue bubbles in figure 7 are explained as follows:
- Blue bubble 1. Task4_1 puts cup onto platform robot 1.
- Blue bubble 2. Task1_1 and Task1_2 pour milk and sugar into empty cup at the same time to the cup platform robot 1. The cut robot starts to put a cup on platform 2 since it is free at this time.
- Blue bubble 3. Task2_2 starts to add sugar into cup 2 on platform robot 2. The reason that this action can happen is that the sugar robot just finishes adding sugar for cup 1 on platform robot 1. It is also clear that the milk robot is still busy pouring milk into cup 1. Therefore, cup 2 only has sugar for now.
- Blue bubble 4. Task2_1 starts to pour milk into cup 2 since it just finishes pouring milk for cup 1 on platform robot 1. Coffee robot begins to add coffee into cup 1 on platform robot 1.
- Blue bubble 5. Cup robot begins to serve cup 1 to customer since coffee is done for cup 1.
It is obvious that the choreography of this new coffee machine is different from that of the previous coffee machine. It appears to a user that its robots are smarter and works more intelligently since it starts to do the next job more promptly.
The above three samples demonstrate the following:
- It is easy to model and to analyze the concurrency of machine control with the JEK Platform.
- To adapt to a new hardware configuration, the JEK SDK helps achieve new system concurrency with minimum code changes.
- JEK Studio can visually identify system throughput potential quickly so that better throughput can be achieved.
- The samples demonstrated in these solutions have a pretty simple architecture (see downloaded code).
If not using the JEK Platform, can we solve the problem quickly? A few questions are raised here.
- If several teams, such as marketing, hardware, and software, are working on the product, they might stop when solution 2 is working. Do they know that solution 3 is the best solution? Can they figure it out quickly?
- Team members might be satisfied when they see that robots are working in parallel. If it is found that improvements can be made, how much code change is needed from solution 2 to solution 3 if implemented with synchronization objects in the Operating System?
- How much competitiveness a company would gain to have a more efficient and reliable machine?

Let $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ be irreducible polynomials over rationals. I know that to find the density of the primes $p$ such that (say) $f(x)$ has a root mod $p$ can be found using Chebotarev density theorem, looking at the density of elements with fixed points in the Galois group of $f(x)$. (Thinking of the Galois group embedded in $S_d$, where d is the degree of $f$) I was wondering what is the general way of doing this when we're given two polynomials $f$ and $g$, and if we try to find the density of primes such that both $f$ and $g$ have roots mod $p$. Should we somehow look at the compositum of the splitting fields of $f$ and $g$? That's my feeling, but I don't know how to do that. Thanks.
 - $\begingroup$ @ R. van Dobben de Bruyn : That's slightly different. There, it finds density of primes which are split in the Galois closure, but prime doesn't necessarily have to split for these polynomials to have root mod $p$, so that answer only gives lower bound for the density. $\endgroup$ – vgmath Jul 12 '17 at 20:56
 - $\begingroup$ Aren't the two events independent? $\endgroup$ – Igor Rivin Jul 13 '17 at 0:42
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_: you're right, it's not the same question. I retracted my close vote. (For the record, the other question.) $\endgroup$ – R. van Dobben de Bruyn Jul 13 '17 at 16:24
Let $P(h)$ be the proportion of primes $p$ such that the monic polynomial $h(t)$ has a root mod $p.$ You say that you can compute this when $h$ is irreducible. Your question is equivalent to asking if you can do it when $h$ is a product of two irreducibles:
You ask about finding $x,$ the proportion of primes where $f$ and $g$ both have roots. But $P(f)+P(g)=P(fg)+x.$
 - 1
 $\begingroup$ I am not sure I understand why this answers the question, since Chebotarev only applies to irreducibles, I believe )(and _USER_ says as much). $\endgroup$ – Igor Rivin Jul 13 '17 at 4:09
 - $\begingroup$ It doesn't answer the question. But it does show it equivalent to a presumably hard problem: generalize Chebatorev to non-irreducibles (or at least those with two factors.) So something like computing two splitting fields $F,G$ and their composite $FG$ is not going to solve the given problem unless it solves the harder one. $\endgroup$ – Aaron Meyerowitz Jul 13 '17 at 4:58
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ Meyerowitz, @ Igor Rivin : Sorry for my ignorance if I'm wrong, but I couldn't see why Chebatorev requires irreduciblity? Doesn't it work for splitting field of any polynomial? Is there any quick counter example when it doesn't work? $\endgroup$ – vgmath Jul 19 '17 at 1:26

Projections for infinitary rewriting
Abstract
Proof terms in term rewriting are a representation means for reduction sequences, and more in general for contraction activity, allowing to distinguish e.g. simultaneous from sequential reduction. Proof terms for finitary, first-order, left-linear term rewriting are described in [15], ch. 8. In a previous work [12] we defined an extension of the finitary proof-term formalism, that allows to describe contractions in infinitary first-order term rewriting, and gave a characterisation of permutation equivalence. In this work, we discuss how projections of possibly infinite rewrite sequences can be modeled using proof terms. Again, the foundation is a characterisation of projections for finitary rewriting described in [15], Sec. 8.7. We extend this characterisation to infinitary rewriting and also refine it, by describing precisely the role that structural equivalence plays in the development of the notion of projection. The characterisation we propose yields a definite expression, i.e. a proof term, that describes the projection of an infinitary reduction over another. To illustrate the working of projections, we show how a common reduct of a (possibly infinite) reduction and a single step that makes part of it can be obtained via their respective projections. We show, by means of several examples, that the proposed definition yields the expected behavior also in cases beyond those covered by this result. Finally, we discuss how the notion of limit is used in our definition of projection for infinite reduction.

Role of the Teacher
This article discusses specific examples of virtually mediated interactions involving two transatlantic groups of student-teachers who engaged in a task-based telecollaborative project for the purposes of a teacher education course.
The Vygotskyan framework of learning and development and particularly the construct of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) in a collaborative frame serve as the theoretical basis of this study. This article aims to: (1) analyze the essentially language-mediated interactions to trace instantiations of virtual collaboration developmentally (2) discuss teacher learning outcomes of the (tele)collaborative activity, and (3) examine learning as expansion of what was explicitly proposed as objectives of the course, resulting from reasoned action i.e., reflection on the process and outcomes of the activity. The findings suggest that the effective integration of telecollaborative activities in pre-service teacher education programmes can enhance teacher learning in significant ways.


How Does Cerakote Work?
Do you ever wonder how certain firearms and other metal objects maintain their sleek and durable appearance despite constant use and exposure to the elements? Well, here's something you probably don't know: it's all thanks to a special coating called Cerakote.
But how does Cerakote work? In this brief guide, we will delve into the fascinating world of Cerakote and uncover the secrets behind its exceptional performance. From the chemistry behind its formulation to the meticulous application process, we will explore the key factors that make Cerakote coatings so effective.
Get ready to discover the science behind the durability and versatility of Cerakote, and how it can transform the appearance and longevity of your prized possessions.
The Chemistry Behind Cerakote
To understand the chemistry behind Cerakote, let's break down how the coating bonds with the surface.
When you apply Cerakote, it undergoes a curing process that involves a chemical reaction known as crosslinking. This reaction occurs between the resin and hardener components of the coating.
As the coating is applied, the resin and hardener molecules combine and form strong chemical bonds. These bonds create a durable and protective layer on the surface.
The crosslinking process also contributes to Cerakote's resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and wear.
The coating's ability to bond with various materials, including metals, polymers, and ceramics, makes it versatile for different applications.
Understanding the chemistry behind Cerakote helps us appreciate its effectiveness in providing long-lasting protection and enhancing the durability of surfaces.
The Application Process of Cerakote
You should regularly apply Cerakote to maintain its protective coating on surfaces.
The application process of Cerakote is a relatively simple and straightforward one.
 - You need to ensure that the surface you want to coat is thoroughly cleaned and free from any oils, dirt, or debris.
 - Shake the Cerakote container well to ensure proper mixing of the product.
 - Then, using an airbrush, spray gun, or even a brush, apply a thin and even layer of Cerakote onto the surface.
 - Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying additional coats if necessary.
 - Cure the Cerakote by heating it to the recommended temperature using an oven or heat gun.
Following these steps will ensure a durable and long-lasting protective coating for your surfaces.
The Benefits of Cerakote Coatings

What: A graded color effect is nice for boundaries that you want to appear to blend into the map. For the Crater Lake map, we wanted the outside of the Park boundary to be distinct and the inside of the boundary to blend into the background. If you had to symbolize an indeterminate boundary, you could make further modifications so both sides blended and the line would look like it was indistinct on both edges and more distinct in the middle. Why: It is sometimes appropriate to show that that features have indistinct boundaries or there is an interior to a feature. Either of these goals can be achieved using a graded color boundary. The sharper edge of the boundary helps distinguish it as the exterior edge. If neither edge is distinct and the middle of the symbol is sharper, then the reader can better understand that the whole boundary is indistinct. How: To achieve the graded color boundary effect, you can use buffers symbolized with a color ramp. On our map, we matched the interior of the boundary with the our data so that it blended in; the exterior edge more sharply contrasted with the area outside the park extent.
To create the boundary:
You can also use the Multiple Ring Buffer tool in ArcToolbox. The difference is that you will need to input the distance value for each of the 20 rings. If you need to make a set of uniform width buffers, the older Buffer Wizard tool is faster.
To symbolize the boundary:
You can pick colors that match your map using the Eye Dropper tool. To add the Eye Dropper tool to any of your toolbars: Click Tools and Customize. Then click on the Commands tab and scroll down to Page Layout. The Eye Dropper tool will be on the right side of the window. Click and drag the tool to any of your toolbars. Use it to click on a color and find out its RGB values.
