Here is the problem:
Let $S$ $\subset$ $\mathbb{R^{3}}$ be a regular surface with the property that all normal lines meet the z-axis. Prove that S is contained in a revolution surface around z.
I first tried to prove that every curve contained in this surface with a fixed z-coordinate is a circle (by showing that all normal lines to this curve meet at a point, it's a previous exercise), but the normal vector to the surface and to the curve are not the same, and I didn't go further... can you help me?

Sounds like you have a good strategy. You are looking at the cross section in some plane $z=z_0$, and you want to prove that the cross section here is a circle.
You are given that any normal line will intersect the $z$ axis. Let's write this line as $\vec{p}+\vec{n}t$ where $\vec{n}$ is the normal vector at the point $\vec{p}$ we are discussing. You can then show that a new line $\vec{p} + (\vec{n}-\hbox{proj}_{\hat{z}}\vec{n})t$ will also intersect the $z$ axis (taking away the z component doesn't change the fact that the line is in a radial direction).
Moreover, this new line will be normal to the cross section at $\vec{p}$: the tangent plane projects to a tangent line of the cross section, so must a normal vector of the surface project to a normal vector of the cross section.
This gives you the criteria you wanted -- all horizontal lines orthogonal to cross sections will intersect at the origin. This tells you roughly that the cross sections are circular, and that the overall shape will be a surface of revolution.

Dogmatic Theology
Dogmatic Theology
The Licentiate Course in Dogmatic Theology is designed to enable students to acquire a deep, systematic, and comprehensive knowledge of Dogmatic Theology. The meaning of the programme lies in the famous phrase by Bernard of Chartres: gigantium humeris insidentes (on the shoulders of giants), i.e. any scientific progress is built on previous traditions. Therefore, students will learn not only the teachings of the Giants of tradition, but also how to look beyond, discovering new implications for a New Evangelisation.
Learning objectives
The second cycle is designed to enable students to reach a personal theological synthesis in their speciality, to acquire adequate knowledge of their focus area, to learn the scientific method of research, and to prepare for teaching.
Courses, seminars, workshops, customised tutoring, and other activities of the Faculty help students achieve this synthesis. The Licentiate thesis, which requires a thorough personal study, must be centred on one of the topics of the selected focus area.
The course is intended for priests, religious, seminarians, and lay people.

Composting sites could generate odour nuisances in the environment if not operated optimally in terms of odour. The implementation of a continuous odour monitoring system, OdoWatch, based on e-nose technology allows operators to better understand how and when odour incidents occur and what actions can be taken to reduce emissions.
A continuous odour monitoring system, fitted with 5 e-noses, a weather station and an odour dispersion modelling software, was set up at one of the largest composting sites in Europe. Although several sources were identified from the beginning as being likely to generate odour nuisances, monitoring enabled the identification of the 0-3 week fermentation source as being responsible for 87% of the nuisances generated.
The operator's efforts reduced odour nuisances which had increased by more than 40% over a 6-month period and by nearly 75% after 2 years. The nuisance level in inhabited areas was, to start with, relatively low, but was greatly reduced by the operator's diligence, using measurements made by the OdoWatch system in real time, and by continuous improvement of the techniques used.

Slurry storage grants on offer
Farmers are being urged to apply for the Scottish Government slurry storage grant by the June 26 deadline.
The grant, which aims to help farmers bring their slurry capacity up to six months, offers contributions towards costs of building the store.
It also helps pay for the necessary ancillary fittings and assemblies, reception tank and transfer pumps.
Applicants are required to prepare a farm waste management plan, storage calculation and a steading drainage plan for the holding.
This needs to identify the additional storage capacity required in order to provide six months slurry storage.
Actions required to minimise the production of dirty water also require to be detailed.
Michael Halliday, farm business consultant at agents Youngs RPS, said: "This grant offers Scottish farmers a valuable opportunity to upgrade or renew their slurry storage facilities for future demands.
"Without doubt the livestock farming industry will experience significant changes during the next few years.
"Ensuring your f a rm infrastructure is sufficient for future requirements is vital for the sustainability of the business.
"However, it is also important to also value the immediate advantages of sufficient slurry storage.
"Farmers can benefit hugely from the greater flexibility offered by spreading slurry at the optimal time to meet crop requirements when nutrient uptake will be higher.
"This, in turn, reduces the risk of nitrates leaching and therefore makes the best use of the slurry nutrients.
"As a result, the need for bought in fertiliser is reduced which has the added benefit of reducing the farms overall carbon footprint."
He added: "Also worthy of a mention is the advantage of having sufficient storage to manage through an exceptional weather event, such as prolonged wet weather when the risk of slurry run-off or causing damage to the soil are high.
"These events are becoming more common and having plentiful storage capacity gives a huge amount of peace of mind to farmers, in addition to the legal, practical and nutritional benefits."
The grant is not available in areas designated as nitrate vulnerable zones.
It cannot be used to increase slurry storage capacity to accommodate an increase in livestock numbers.
Mr Halliday said: "There are many reasons for farmers to consider improving their slurry storage facilities. I urge them to look into their eligibility for this grant.
"Seek professional advice if needed as this grant can make an important contribution to improving farm infrastructure to make your business robust for the future."

Industrial Designs Law in Australia is a small but increasingly relevant area of law covering the protection of visual aspects of a product.
Unlike Patent Law, which predominantly protects innovations of a functional form, designs law protects the overall appearance of a product, particularly visual features.
If you design goods to me manufactured industrially, speak to an IP Specialist at Clarifis IP today to ensure your designs are protected.
Why should I register a design? Aren't products protected by Patent or Copyright Law?
Despite misconceptions, Copyright Law only protects industrial design rights holder from copyright infringement in a limited fashion. For a product, which is not applied industrially (ie. less than 50 articles) copyright protection may subsist in the design to the extent that the design is an artistic work. Nonetheless, Designs Law grants a monopoly over the use of the design in Australia and superior protection against infringement.
Patent Law on the other hand addresses innovations in relation to functions. This may well be applicable to the product which you have designed or developed however in some cases, several different aspects of Intellectual Property Protection need to be considered.
How is a design registered in Australia?
Under the Designs Act 2003 (Cth) a person (including a company) may make an application to register a design. There are two steps in the registration process:
- Registration-Only: Provides inclusion on the 'prior art base' of your new design.
- Certification: An examination is undertaken by the register to certify that the design meets the requirement for registration and accordingly, infringement actions may be undertaken by the registrant or in some cases, licensee.
What is the prior art base?
The prior art base in relation to designs, similarly to patents, is a database of industrial designs which have been registered or certified. The significance of the prior art base is that any future designs must be considered new or distinctive when compared to existing designs on the prior art base.
What requirements must I meet to register my design?
In order to register your design, you must have developed a design which is new and distinctive when compared with the prior art base.

The GENetic optimization and Bootstrapping of LInear Structures (GENBLIS) Home Page
Walter R. Mebane, Jr. and Jasjeet S. Sekhon
Please direct all questions and comments to Jasjeet Sekhon.
GENBLIS (GENetic optimization and Bootstrapping of LInear Structures) is an evolutionary program which estimates structural equation models with latent variables by combining the global search strength of evolutionary algorithms with the ability of derivative based algorithms to do rapid local hill climbing. GENBLIS provides bootstrap confidence intervals for parameters and bootstrap confidence limits for the goodness-of-fit test statistic. Structural equation models are often used in political science, sociology, psychology, marketing and related social science fields to specify and estimate stochastic models for linear relations in the presence of measurement errors.
There are a variety of ways to parameterize structural equation models. Following Bollen (1989 [*]), GENBLIS uses a parameterization developed by Jöreskog (1973 [*]) and Wiley (1973 [*]). This parameterization has become a standard because of the popularity of the LISREL program which was developed by Jöreskog and Sörbom.
GENBLIS is described in the GENBLIS Manual. One can download the following binaries:
The UNIX binaries are in tar and gzip format. Therefore, to unpack them in a given directory please issue the following commands:
zcat genblis.linux-1.11.4.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
You may have to change the mode of the genblis binary to make it an executable. The can be done by issuing the following command:
chmod ugo+rx genblis
Small parts of the current GENBLIS code were adapted from an early version of Zbigniew Michalewicz's GENOCOP I.

text: © 2022 Elsevier B.V.The UV-absorbing and non-fogging glass coatings containing carbazole-based conjugated backbone with different lengths of hydrophilic PEG subunit (KP-PEG) were produced. The characterizations of the polymers were carried out by using different techniques such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, GPC, TGA and DSC. Transmittance and thin-film morphology analyses, which are essential for UV protection and wettability, were investigated by UV–Vis absorption, AFM and TEM techniques, respectively. Transparent thin films prepared by the polymer solutions in chloroform were obtained by spin coating method at a scan rate of 2000 rpm. The wettability performance and antifogging properties of these surfaces were investigated depending on the PEG length in the polymer subunit. The water contact angle of the surfaces was improved to the range between 60° and 29° depending on the amount of PEG group. KP-PEG750 is the best polymer thin film in terms of having the highest roughness, optimum UV absorption and the low contact angle value.


text: This article describes methods of calculating the radiance distribution of solar highlights on the ocean surface and of determining the contour of the image of the solar disk on the smooth surface when it is observed from geostationary orbit. The radiance of the reflected radiation is calculated by the method of stochastically distributed small areas, taking into account shading on an uneven surface, as well as the sphericity of the terrestrial sphere. The results of the calculations show that the size of the surface region covered by solar highlights, as well as the radiance distribution of the highlights inside this region, depend on both the irradiation-observation geometry and the degree of oceanic waviness (i.e., the wind speed). The radiance map is analyzed, and maps of lines of constant radiance are given for various geometries and wind speeds. (C) 1999 The Optical Society of America. [S1070-9762(99)02512-9].

The vivid colors in the spring are the result of pigmented bacteria in the microbial mats that grow around the edges of the mineral-rich water. The bacteria produce colors ranging from green to red; the amount of color in the microbial mats depends on the ratio of chlorophyll to carotenoids. In the summer, the mats tend to be orange and red, whereas in the winter the mats are usually dark green. The center of the pool is sterile due to extreme heat.
The deep blue color of the water in the center of the pool results from a light-absorbing overtone of the hydroxy stretch of water. Though this effect is responsible for making all large bodies of water blue, it is particularly intense in Grand Prismatic Spring because of the high purity and depth of the water in the middle of the spring.

Nameless, a former community located near modern-day Lago Vista, was settled in the 1860s. Eventually, the residents petitioned for a post office; after several applications with name suggestions were rejected, the locals decided to name their community Nameless. The post office opened in 1880 but was discontinued in 1890 due to a lack of growth in population. The buildings of the town were torn down or fell into disrepair over the years.

RICHLAND – Scanning technology developed at a Richland lab to screen airplane passengers could soon be used to target bedbugs.
The technology developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been licensed to a start-up company in Corvallis, Ore., as part of a White House initiative to help young companies grow, the Tri-City Herald reports.
VisiRay in Corvallis, Ore., signed an option agreement with PNNL for millimeter wave technology and plans to manufacture devices to detect pests in buildings. The initial target will be bedbugs, sometimes called wall lice, because they may live inside walls as well as in beds and couches.
PNNL initially developed the millimeter wave technology with Federal Aviation Administration grants to scan passengers using harmless radio waves. It can detect objects hidden beneath their clothing, whether they are metal, liquid, plastic or ceramic. The technology is now in use at about 78 airports nationwide.

Fair Trade - National
For the third year in a row, together, we have exceeded our goals for the National Valentine's Day of Action.
This year's goal: Educate 3,500 children and youth about Fair Trade by Valentine's Day, using Global Exchange's Fair Trade curriculum, providing students with a deep learning experience about Fair Trade, starting many families on a lifetime of interest and involvement in the Fair Trade movement.
And now…the numbers are in!
The results: Educators taught the curriculum to 3,870 students in the US; participants were spread over 22 states, from Kentucky to Washington State and Nebraska to Maine. Some educators from outside the US also reported in that they taught an additional 207 students about Fair Trade in the UK, Australia, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Moreover, social justice clubs at one high school used Global Exchange's curriculum and pooled their resources to create a brochure that they distributed to 1,800 students at their school with Fair Trade chocolate minis.
Grand total: 5,877 youth educated about Fair Trade as part of the National Valentine's Day of Action
(Because not all classrooms report their participation, the actual numbers are probably higher.)
THANK YOU to all of you who helped make the National Valentine's Day of Action a huge success by referring teachers to the curriculum and teaching about Fair Trade in your classrooms!
Please be part of educating even more students next year, by telling educators about the curriculum today! The curriculum can be downloaded at _URL_

FAIRVIEW, TX (HOWARD COUNTY)
FAIRVIEW, TEXAS (Howard County). Fairview, on U.S. Highway 87 five miles northwest of Big Spring in central Howard County, was named for the view afforded by the flat land around it. In 1930 it had a population of fifteen and two commercially rated businesses. By 1940 its population had grown to fifty, and a school was located there. Between 1950 and 1960 the population was 100, but the last business had closed. In 1980, 1990, and 2000 the population was eighty-five.

Registration for 3D model of human atlas based on vertex information
Journal: Yiyong Shengwu Lixue/Journal of Medical Biomechanics
Objective: To develop a registration method for 3D human atlas models by using geometric information of the vertices so as to lay a foundation for statistical modeling of atlas. Methods: Based on CT images of the normal human, thirty 3D models of human atlases were created and marked by the manual selected points, including 1 standard module, 20 training sets and 9 testing samples. The training sets were first registered with the standard module, including calculation on geometric information of the individual vertex and optimization process of weight coefficients in the registration models. By minimizing the energy function defined with the Euclidean distances between the automatic registered points and the manual selected points in training sets, the optimized weight coefficients could be obtained. The testing samples were then registered with the standard module to calculate the Euclidean distances between the automatic registered points and the manual selected points. The results were then compared with the training sets to evaluate the stability of the registration method. Results: The registration function and the corresponding optimized weight coefficients were obtained, and the average errors for the training sets and testing samples were 1.983 mm and 2.045 mm, respectively. Further statistical analysis showed that there were no obvious differences in the error distributions among the training sets and testing samples. Conclusions: The accuracy and stability of the proposed registration method meet the requirement in medical applications, and it can provide automatic registration of points of interest on human atlas models and be used for element classification in statistical modeling.

The truth is the coffee goes cold because of heat loss. You're drinking your coffee and it tastes fine. Why the heck does it go cold so fast?
Well, truth be told, there's a few reasons why your morning joe is getting cold so quickly. The first reason is that heat transfer is taking place from the coffee to the air around you. Secondly, if you've been adding milk or cream to your coffee, this will also help regulate the temperature of the coffee due to the chemical reaction between milk and air. Milk has a much lower boiling point than water.
In general, the more concentrated the mixture (i.e. ratio), the faster it will mix.
What Are The Causes Of Coffee Cooling Faster?
Many people have been wondering, "Why does my coffee get cold so fast?" There are a few different causes of the coffee cooling faster – the most common being that coffee cools 3-5 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. Another contributor is caffeine, which causes a decrease in body temperature, causing a feeling of fatigue and eventually sleepiness. Drinking too much caffeine can also lead to an increased sense of thirst.
The article will explore why coffee gets cold so fast.
Condensation: Why Does Your Coffee Cup Feel Wet?
In order to enjoy a cup of coffee, you have to drink it quickly before the beverage gets too cold. Why does this happen? You might be surprised to hear that it's because your body is 98.6 degrees! Coffee is served around 90-135 degrees, so as soon as you hold a hot drink in your hands, it starts to cool off.
A cup of coffee is a popular drink for many people. However, one of the biggest complaints about coffee is how quickly it can get cold. Condensation has been found to be one of the main reasons why your coffee gets cold so fast. The article will go on to talk about condensation and why it causes coffee to lose heat so quickly.
I still don't understand what the benefit is of "steeping" coffee, I guess one could say that the longer you let your beans steep the more bitterness they get but then at least all my coffee has some real flavour in it.
If you're looking for a good overview of how heat works in the rest of the world, I recommend reading this great post by Andrew Linnenbrink entitled "Why does water boil at 100°C? Heat transfer basics."
Why not just drink that instead?

Heat Loss: Some Heat Can Be Lost Through Conduction, Convection, And Radiation.
Do you have cold hands, but hot coffee? If so, fear not! This article will explore how heat can be lost through conduction, convection, and radiation. So how does this happen?
Well, the temperature of your coffee drops because it is in contact with a surface that is colder than it. Furthermore, when liquids are put into glass containers they are more likely to lose heat through convection.
How Does Heat Leak Out Of Your Coffee?
The inside of a coffee mug can reach a temperature of 130 degrees Fahrenheit, but if you're not careful the heat will quickly escape and cause your coffee to get cold. The following are some tips on how to keep your coffee warm:
Use A Vacuum Coffee Pot Or Thermos To Keep The Heat In.
Brewing coffee can be a very rewarding process, but it can also be a frustrating endeavor. For one thing, you have to monitor the drink from start to finish so that it doesn't over-brew or over-extract.
And if you want the coffee to stay hot in the pot, you'll need a vacuum coffee pot or thermos. The problem is that these containers tend to leak heat too quickly and often don't keep the coffee warm enough.
Cover The Coffee Cup With A Cloth Or Towel To Trap The Steam From The Hot Drink.
Have you ever wondered why your coffee always seems to cool down so fast?
The answer is actually in the steam. When we let our drinks cool off with just air blowing around, we're not doing them any favors. The air lets the liquid evaporate and disrupts the surface which causes it to cool.
This is because when liquid evaporates, the particles of liquid scatter in all different directions and some of them escape into space.
Add Sugar To Help Absorb More Heat From The Coffee.
Coffee is a staple beverage for many people. One of the most common complaints about coffee is that it gets cold too quickly. Cold coffee can be unpleasant to drink, especially in the morning when you are trying to get your day started.
There are many reasons why this happens, but one major reason is that cold water extracts more flavor from coffee beans than hot water does.
Insulating Materials: Can Insulation Materials Be Used To Keep The Coffee Hot?
There are many different ways to keep your coffee hot, but insulated materials are the best way to do it. There are many different types of insulation materials that can help keep your coffee warm for hours.
These materials can be found in many industries, and they are used most often in construction, transportation, and manufacturing.
Insulating materials can be very easy to find with so many brands out there on the market today.
Convection: When Warm Air Rises, Cool Air Rushes In To Replace It.
This is a question that many people have asked. In fact, this article might be one of the most important articles you will read this year.
In order to answer the question, it's important to understand Convection. Convection is a process where heat travels from a surface and into the air around it causing rising currents of warmer air and descending currents of cooler air.
Radiation: The Sun's Energy Causes Your Coffee To Lose Their Warmth.
As the sun's energy hits your coffee, it converts the liquid to gas. This is called gasification. The warm liquid causes pressure to build up inside of the cup, but when it then turns into gas, that pressure is released and all the warmth escapes out of your drink at once.
This means that while you might have just finished making your coffee, it's already started to lose its warmth because of the sun's energy.
So Remember When You're Heating Up That Next Cup Of Joe, Hold On Tight!
The coffee you just poured into that cup may not be as hot as you think. While it's true that it's important to drink coffee quickly to avoid getting a non-melting ice cube, there are other factors that need to be accounted for.
Coffee is often cooled down by the surroundings where it's stored.

Not all volcaanicn soils are more fertile because the ash that comes from volcanoes differs in its mineral content and in its physical properties. However volcaninc soils are often more fertile because they are relatively unweatherd. They have not undergone extensive leaching and they tend to contain more of the basic cations that plants require. These include Mg Ca K Older soils have less of these because they are leached out by water percolation As this leaching ocurs, soils often get more acidic. An increase in acidity often results in a decrease of availability for many essential nutrients and a corresponding increase in the concentration of nutrients that may be dangerous or toxic to plant, such as alumunium. So the answer to your question is that many volcanic soils are relatively younger thatn other soils and have greater amounts of essential nutrients that make them fertile.

Created By: Pipestone County Historical Society
Pipestone Commercial Historic District was orignally recognized by the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The character of the district is derived from the extensive use of Sioux quartzite as a building material. Sioux quartzite is an exceedingly hard stone which varies in color from dark red to light pink depending on the location of the quarry.
Most of the pivotal buildings in the district were built in the 1890s by local tradesmen in the vernacular style with some Italianate and Romanesque architectural details. Contrasting colors of Sioux quartzite were often used to decorate the facades of the buildings.
The visual continuity of the district is also derived from the common height and scale of the buildings. The pivotal Sioux quartzite buildings are generally two to three stories in height. Complementary buildings built around the 1930s generally are of the same height and scale.

In a stern address at the 2023 Conference of Judges of the Federal High Court, Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, emphasized the critical need for judges to maintain the integrity of the judiciary and avoid actions that could tarnish its image.
Speaking at the event held at the Court's headquarters in Abuja, Justice Ariwoola urged judges to be cautious and mindful of their responsibility to uphold the highest standards of professionalism.
He specifically cautioned against actions that could bring disrepute to the judiciary, emphasizing the importance of adhering to laws and rules in the execution of their duties.
The Chief Justice stressed the significance of impartiality in delivering judgments and rulings, emphasizing that judges should refrain from attempting to influence any party, regardless of their status or influence.
He said, "Go the extra mile to justify your appointments and do not create loopholes that could tarnish the image and reputation of the Court.
"Do not attempt to convince anybody, no matter how highly placed, but always consult laws and rules before writing your judgments and rulings.
"Always write judgments that the Court of Appeal will have no option but to affirm. Being a judge is not child's play, particularly in your court, where you don't sit on a panel. You sit all alone.
"Go the extra mile to justify the appointments and do not create loopholes that could tarnish the image and reputation of the court."

Is there a way to generate an area by connecting points?
I have got 3 lights and I want to connect them and use the resulting shape as a mask.
So I need a filter that connect points and fill the area at least.
As far as I know, there is no way to connect mask points with something by expressions, right?
You can use the Beam effect to create a line to connect two points. Use the following Expression example to connect the Beam's 2D points to the light layer's 3D position property -
LightLayer01 = thisComp.layer("Light1");
Once you have 3 Beam layers linking all three lights, you can fill in the area defined by the 3 Beams with another layer, an Adjustment Layer, and apply the Paint Bucket effect on the Adjustment Layer.
Precomp or nest this comp and use the result as your mask.

A STUDY ON DEVELOPMENT OF CRACKS ON PAINTINGS
OVER THE past 10 years there have been substantial developments in research on the mechanical behavior of paintings. The knowledge of processes leading to mechanical failure of paintings materials and their properties has been greatly enhanced through pioneering work by Mecklenburg (1982). It has been established that environmental changes induce dramatic responses in fabric and size. The layer of size is responsible for stress development during humidity decrease; high stiffness of fabric dominates in high humidity. The most brittle component of the composite—aged oil paint—fails when movements in the supporting size and fabric exceed its rupture strains.
Stress distribution on paintings and the resulting cracks in the paint layer were simulated on a computer with the Finite Element Method (FEM) (Kilpatrick 1980; Colville et al. 1982). Elastic properties of materials were assumed and based on uniaxial tests.
In this work the humidity-induced movements were observed on biaxially stretched samples of primed fabric with a commercially available brittle coating taking the place of aged paint. The coating is widely used in industrial stress analysis as a form of strain gauge; it cracks when strains in a support exceed its breaking strains. The results reveal nonelastic properties of size and are consistent with a study on dimensional response of size in changing humidities (Karpowicz 1989).

I have a math vb program.
And I would like to know how much time (sec or less) does
program need to find the asnwer. Because this is 200 points,
so I need experts to explain to me in detail, if it is
possible? (please, bec. I am new)
in the form I have :
 some label and textbox for entering and displaying.
 a ok button - that will take the input and find out the
My guess is : when user hit "ok" button, the timer should start and when answer is found out, then timer stop. The time that program need to find out the answer should be able
to be displayed in sec or sometime is.001 sec.
so in "ok" procedure, I have :
some declarations
loop until ok = 0
display answer and time.
if you need more information, comment me, please.
or you can suggest you own program.
thank a lot

If my code is right, then can you explain the meaning of this code to me :
1. Private Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTickCount" () As Long
2. Dim lStart as long
3. IStart=GetTickCount() ' what is this?
4. Labe1.Text=Cstr((GetTickCount()-lStart)/1000) ''what is Cstr?
Why i never see the ( 1. ) line of code, where do you get it and where I can find more information about it, because I can't this code in my vb book.
I have ran the program and it give me 0.064 for time. What does that means? a sec or less than sec.

another question :
I inputed 12 and 41, when I got the answer, I pressed the ok button again and
again, but it gave me different time, why?
I think the time should be same, because the input is same, why?
Expert Comment
ID: _PHONE_
The First line is a declaration of a Windows API procedure. Read the help on 'Declare' to get more info. GetTickCount returns the number of milliseconds (1/1000 of second) since the time Windows started, so when you compare the return values between 2 calls, you get the interval. The time is in seconds, so 0.something is less then a second. It gives different time on each run, because each time windows allocated specific time for your process, it's a normal phenomenon.

The time is as accurate as it gets, but it takes the algorithm a different time to run every time. It depends on a lot of factors, none of them are at your control. It's like if you measure how much time exactly it takes a program to load, you will find out it's never the same

How far would you go for a gameshow host?
Gameshow hosts are powerful people.

Gameshow hosts are powerful people. Photo / Thinkstock
Gameshow hosts have so much power over people that contestants are willing to do anything they're told, including torture each other to death, research suggests.
Psychologists from the University of Paris simulated the recording of a new programme in a real TV studio with an audience and a well-known weather girl as the host.
Recruiters found 80 contestants to take part in what they thought was a show called Zone Xtreme. They were introduced to another contestant called 'Jean Paul', played by an actor, who was sent to a separate part of the studio where he could be heard but not seen.
Each of the contestants was told by the host to ask 'Jean Paul' a series of 27 questions and apply what they thought was an electric shock of increasing strength for each wrong answer.
More than eight in ten - 64 contestants - administered the maximum 460 volts, which could cause death, despite hearing 'Jean Paul' cry out, scream and beg to stop the game.
If they wavered, Miss Young intervened with lines such as "Don't let yourself get upset" and "Go on, we are taking all the responsibility for this".
Only 16 of the 80 contestants refused to continue with the programme.
The experiment was broadcast as part of a documentary entitled Game of Death for French network, France 2, in 2010, but the analysis and findings have just been published in the European Review of Applied Psychology.
"It has long been known that television and television hosts had influence on viewers," the researchers said.
"We suspected they could also have prescriptive powers to [influence] people's behaviour, including cruel and immoral behaviours. Until now this had never been shown."
The experiment was a twist on the 1960s research by US academic Stanley Milgram, who examined why ordinary people were prepared to commit horrific atrocities in Nazi Germany.
He found 80 per cent of his subjects inflicted pain on a stranger when ordered to do so by a figure in authority such as a scientist.
The French experiment reveals that this "authority figure" is far broader than previously realised.

Metrotown is an elevated station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located in the Metrotown area of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It is the fifth-busiest station in the SkyTrain system. The station is located between Central Boulevard and Beresford Street, east of Willingdon Avenue.
Metrotown station was built in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system, on what is now known as the Expo Line. The overhead walkway that led to Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre was added to the station in 1989. Originally, the bus loop was open-air and connected to the station via an at-grade street crossing.
The station was originally designed as a suburban station serving residential neighbourhoods and local transit connections. It experienced a major traffic increase due to the opening of nearby shopping centres and the redevelopment of the neighbourhood, leading to passenger loads and circulation surpassing the design capacity of the original station.
In 2007, TransLink established plans for a major retrofit and redesign of the station to improve passenger flow and increase station capacity. Construction began in February 2015, with an estimated cost of $55.5 million.
On November 15, 2016, TransLink closed the pedestrian overpass that connected the station to the Metropolis shopping centre. The closure was a result of preparation work required in rebuilding the east stationhouse. No timeline was provided for when a replacement overpass would open. The closure has led to criticism and extra travel time for many passengers.
The centre stationhouse opened to the public on March 24, 2017, and features new stairs and elevators. On July 24, 2017, the west stationhouse opened, featuring four escalators.
The rebuilt east stationhouse opened on March 19, 2018, and—like the west stationhouse—it also features four escalators. Upon completion of the third phase, the station has a total of eight escalators, three elevators as well as stairs to and from platform level.

History of DAISY
The DAISY study - The D iabetes A uto I mmunity S tudy in the Y oung - started in July 1993. The primary goal of DAISY is to learn how genes and the environment interact to trigger the onset of type 1 diabetes, the third most common chronic disease in children. In order to do this, the study follows two unique groups, children with a diabetic relative (either a sibling or parent), and children at an increased genetic risk (without a diabetic relative). While investigators have been able to find some of the most important genes which may increase the chances of developing the disease, the environmental factors and their interaction with these genes is still in question. Areas of interest are viruses, dietary factors, immuniztions, and social stressors. Continued follow-up through the child's important developmental stages will help us to gain a better understanding of the nature of diabetes, which may eventually lead towards prevention.

LaTeX command frequencies
In the previous post I present a bash one-liner to search directories for LaTeX files and count the commands used.
College files
I first tried this out on a directory that included some old files from grad school. I chose this directory because I knew it had a lot of LaTeX files, but I was surprised at the results. Here were the top 10 results:
 1. \Omega
 2. \partial
 3. \bf
 4. \in
 5. \mu
 6. \real
 7. \int
 8. \item
 9. \alpha
 10. \end
I was very surprised that the top command was \Omega. I expected maybe the integral command \int would come out on top.
The notes contain a lot of integrals, but these integrals were often over a domain Ω. The set inclusion command \in also appears frequently, probably in the context of saying x ∈ Ω.
The \partial came up frequently because I used it in two contexts. First, I was studying partial differential equations, so I used the symbol for partial derivative a lot. Second, I used ∂ to denote the boundary of a domain, as in ∂Ω.
You might notice that \end made the list above but \begin didn't. Sounds like an error if LaTeX files have more \end statements than \begin statements. The reason is that I used to have an include file that had lots of macros and ended with \begin{document}. That saved a few keystrokes, but now I think such asymmetry is bad form. In the search described below, there are exactly the same number of \begin and \end statements.
Client files
When I looked at the command frequencies in a directory containing some client work, I got very different frequencies. Here were the top commands in that directory.
 1. \hline
 2. \item
 3. \end
 4. \begin
 5. \frac
 6. \xi
 7. \phi
 8. \lambda
 9. \texttt
 10. \partial
I suppose \hline is at the top because the files contained a lot of tables. It makes sense that \item, \begin, \end and \frac were near the top because those are common LaTeX commands. I don't remember what I was working on that used the symbol ξ so much.
When I first thought about this post I thought I could get a feel for what commands are used frequently in LaTeX in general. I started with my own files because they're at hand, but the results say more about my usage of LaTeX than about LaTeX in general.
Other collections
I imagine if you were to look at the frequency statistics for a large corpus, such as the articles submitted to a given math journal, the results would still depend somewhat on the journal: you're going to see \int for integral more often in an analysis journalthan in an algebra journal, etc.
If you run the code from the previous post on some collection of LaTeX files and get some interesting results, leave a comment describing what you found.

Typesetting zodiac symbols in LaTeX
Typesetting zodiac symbols in LaTeX is admittedly an unusual thing to do. LaTeX is mostly used for scientific publication, and zodiac symbols are commonly associated with astrology. But occasionally zodiac symbols are used in more respectable contexts.
The wasysym package for LaTeX includes miscellaneous symbols, including zodiac symbols. Here are the symbols, their LaTeX commands, and their corresponding Unicode code points.
The only surprise here is that the command for Capricorn is based on the Latin form of the name: \capricornus.
Each zodiac sign is used to denote a 30° region of the sky. Since the Unicode symbols are consecutive, you can compute the code point of a symbol from the longitude angle θ in degrees:
9800 + \left\lfloor \frac{\theta}{30} \right\rfloor
Here 9800 is the decimal form of 0x2648, and the half brackets are the floor symbol, i.e. round down to the nearest integer.
Here's the LaTeX code that produced the table.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\aries & \verb|\aries | & U+2648 \\
\taurus & \verb|\taurus | & U+2649 \\
\gemini & \verb|\gemini | & U+264A \\
\cancer & \verb|\cancer | & U+264B \\
\leo & \verb|\leo | & U+264C \\
\virgo & \verb|\virgo | & U+264D \\
\libra & \verb|\libra | & U+264E \\
\scorpio & \verb|\scorpio | & U+264F \\
\sagittarius & \verb|\sagittarius | & U+2650 \\
\capricornus & \verb|\capricornus | & U+2651 \\
\aquarius & \verb|\aquarius | & U+2652 \\
\pisces & \verb|\pisces | & U+2653 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
By the way, you can use the Unicode values in HTML by replacing U+ with &#x and adding a semicolon on the end.

Regular expressions and special characters
Special characters make text processing more complicated because you have to pay close attention to context. If you're looking at Python code containing a regular expression, you have to think about what you see, what Python sees, and what the regular expression engine sees. A character may be special to Python but not to regular expressions, or vice versa.
This post goes through an example in detail that shows how to manage special characters in several different contexts.
Escaping special TeX characters
I recently needed to write a regular expression [1] to escape TeX special characters. I'm reading in text like ICD9_CODE and need to make that ICD9\_CODE so that TeX will understand the underscore to be a literal underscore, and a subscript instruction.
Underscore isn't the only special character in TeX. It has ten special characters:
 \ { } $ & # ^ _ % ~
The two that people most commonly stumble over are probably $ and % because these are fairly common in ordinary prose. Since % begins a comment in TeX, importing a percent sign without escaping it will fail silently. The result is syntactically valid. It just effectively cuts off the remainder of the line.
So whenever my script sees a TeX special character that isn't already escaped, I'd like it to escape it.
Raw strings
First I need to tell Python what the special characters are for TeX:
 special = r"\\{}$&#^_%~"
There's something interesting going on here. Most of the characters that are special to TeX are not special to Python. But backslash is special to both. Backslash is also special to regular expressions. The r prefix in front of the quotes tells Python this is a "raw" string and that it should not interpret backslashes as special. It's saying "I literally want a string that begins with two backslashes."
Why two backslashes? Wouldn't one do? We're about to use this string inside a regular expression, and backslashes are special there too. More on that shortly.
Lookbehind
Here's my regular expression:
 re.sub(r"(?<!\\)([" + special + "])", r"\\\1", line)
I want special characters that have not already been escaped, so I'm using a negative lookbehind pattern. Negative lookbehind expressions begin with (?<! and end with ). So if, for example, I wanted to look for the string "ball" but only if it's not preceded by "charity" I could use the regular expression
 (?<!charity )ball
This expression would match "foot ball" or "foosball" but not "charity ball".
Our lookbehind expression is complicated by the fact that the thing we're looking back for is a special character. We're looking for a backslash, which is a special character for regular expressions [2].
After looking behind for a backslash and making sure there isn't one, we look for our special characters. The reason we used two backslashes in defining the variable special is so the regular expression engine would see two backslashes and interpret that as one literal backslash.
Captures
The second argument to re.sub tells it what to replace its match with. We put parentheses around the character class listing TeX special characters because we want to capture it to refer to later. Captures are referred to by position, so the first capture is \1, the second is \2, etc.
We want to tell re.sub to put a backslash in front of the first capture. Since backslashes are special to the regular expression engine, we send it \\ to represent a literal backslash. When we follow this with \1 for the first capture, the result is \\\1 as above.
Testing
We can test our code above on with the following.
 line = r"a_b $200 {


Download Octoparse
Why does Octoparse only click the first item in a loop and stop?
Monday, December 02, 2019
Sometimes, you might find the problem with a task where Octoparse extracts only the first item and stops to loop through other items. In fact, it can be considered that Octoparse cannot return to the list page after scraping data from detail page. This issue could be divided into two different situations.
1. The detail page is not set up to be opened in a new tab. Click the "Click Item" and you will find an advanced option named "New Tab". You should click on the "New Tab" and re-create the following steps.
Do remember to re-create the steps following the "Click Item" because Octoparse needs to identify a new page to extract and the previous steps would not work out.
2) The website is not compatible with Octoparse.
If Octoparse still cannot work even though you click "New Tab", incompatible issues must be considered. It relates to application compatibility and adaptability between Octoparse and websites you want to scrape. In this case, you should divide your task into two steps. Extract detail page URLs with Octoparse firstly, and then scrape data you want with the URL list. If you are new to URLs list extraction, please follow this video tutorial to learn more. [Click here ]
You can follow these steps to manually check if Octoparse can return to the list page once it enters the detail page.
1. Click "Go To Web Page" to open the website.
2. Click "Loop Item" box in your workflow.
3. Click "Click Item" to open the detail page.
4. Click "Loop Item" again and see if Octoparse can return to the list page. If not, you should follow the above steps to revise your workflow.

Achieving the optimum balance for a life lived well
Ever wondered what balance of exercise, sleep, food and work delivers the best outcomes for your physical and mental health?
A team of scientists led by researchers in South Australia is embarking on a four-year study to find out.
The international team will use 200,000 data sources from Fitbits, activity monitors and time-use surveys linked with health data to create a prototype.
University of South Australia lead researcher Dr Dot Dumuid said first-class prototype would provide personalised advice on how best to use a 24-hour period for specific health outcomes.
She said Israeli mathematicians, University of Adelaide computer scientists as well as global behavioural epidemiologists and public health specialists would develop an analytical method to work out the ideal length of time needed on activities in order to achieve particular outcomes.
The software will form the basis of an online tool allowing people to improve time management while achieving the optimal health for their lifestyle.
"Every day everybody is given 24 hours. How people allocate that time to activities impacts their health," Dr Dumuid said. "We already know that things like screen time, exercise, sleep and work-life balance influence health, but now we are thinking about these things as linked parts that together make up a complete day. So, rather than talking about activities in isolation, we talk about 'healthy days' or 'the optimal mix of activities'."
The project was this month awarded a $951,708 grant from Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council to collate data, create and test optimisation methods and develop a prototype.
"We already have access to many such data sets, and we are reaching out to studies across the world to gain access to their data also," Dr Dumuid said.
"But because people measure time in lots of different ways and there are different brands and different parameters that people have used in their studies, we will have to do some calibration across the different studies to make sure they can be put together.
"In industry optimisation, this kind of data happens all the time. For example, people optimise the mix of fertilizer to get the best crop yields but then there are also other factors like the lowest cost."


Peter Grimes
opera by Benjamin Britten
Peter Grimes is an opera by Benjamin Britten. It was first performed in 1945. It is generally thought to be the most important British opera of the 20th century. It is about a community in a small fishing village in the east of England in the 1820s. Peter Grimes is a fisherman who feels that the people do not want to have anything to do with him. He wants to make lots of money so that he can marry and get people's respect. In his obsession with catching as much fish as possible he is cruel to the boys who help him (his apprentices), and they die. At the end of the opera Grimes drowns himself.
Britten wrote the main part (Peter Grimes) for his life partner Peter Pears to sing.
There are three acts, and the opera starts with a prologue and ends with an epilogue. Some of the scenes are joined by continuous music, and some of this is often played separately in concerts. This music is known as the Four Sea Interludes.
History of its compositionEdit
When World War II started Britten and Pears went to America to avoid the war. In 1941 Britten started to feel homesick because he read an article by E.M.Forster about George Crabbe, a poet who had lived in the same part of England that Britten came from. Britten started to realize that, in order to compose well, he had to go back to his own country. Britten and Pears returned to England in 1942.
The conductor Sergei Koussevitzky asked Britten to write an opera based on a poem by George Crabbe. The poem, called "The Borough", was about the story of Peter Grimes. The village in the poem was fictitious, but it was very much like Aldeburgh where Britten later made his home. Britten asked Montagu Slater to write the libretto based on the story of Crabbe's poem.
The opera was first performed at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London on 7 June 1945 by the company which later became English National Opera. The conductor was Reginald Goodall. Pears sang the title role.
The first American performance was in 1946 at Tanglewood conducted by Koussevitzky's pupil, Leonard Bernstein. Britten dedicated it to Koussevitsky's wife.

The first young boy who was an apprentice to Peter Grimes has already been killed. He was at sea for three days without water to drink. An inquest is being held to decide whether Grimes is guilty of the boy's death. The people all seem to think he is guilty. The judge decides that the boy's death was an accident. However, he says to Grimes that he should not get another apprentice. Grimes is very angry at being told this. Ellen Orford, a school teacher, comforts him. In their beautiful duet Ellen and Peter sing at first in different keys, but finally sing together in the same key.
Act 1Edit
The scenery shows the Moot Hall, the Boar Inn (the village pub) and the church. People are saying "Good morning" to one another, especially the Slave Master who says it many times. The fishermen start work mending their nets. Keene tells Grimes that he has found another apprentice for him. He is a poor boy who lives in the workhouse. Nobody wants Grimes to have another apprentice. Hobson, the cart man, refuses to fetch him. But Ellen supports Peter. She sings to the crowd: "Let her among you without fault cast the first stone" (meaning: "You all have faults so do not criticize"). Hobson goes off to get the boy. A terrible storm is coming.
The scene now changes to The Boar Inn. It is very noisy inside. Bob Boles gets drunk and wants to make love to the landlady's nieces. The storm is still raging outside. Grimes comes in. People are shocked, but Grimes does not notice. He sings and song about human fate: "Now the Great Bear and Pleiades". The tune is in the orchestra in canon while Grimes sings very simple lines of music. People are embarrassed, so they start to sing a round: "Old Joe has gone fishing". It has three tunes and has seven counts in a bar. The boy is brought in and Grimes takes him off in spite of the storm.
Act 2Edit
The opening of the next act is peaceful. It is Sunday morning. People are in church, and now again we hear the singing coming from the church. Ellen talks to the boy. She is horrified to see he has a bruise on his neck. Grimes says it was an accident. He gets annoyed that Ellen is worried about the boy and runs off with him. The people of the village have noticed and march up to Grimes's hut. The scene ends with a peaceful contrast: a duet sung by the two nieces.
The orchestra play a beautiful passacaglia which links to the next scene. Grimes is accusing the boy of "telling stories". Then he starts to feels guilty about the first boy's death. He hears the villagers coming and tells the boy they have to go fishing. He pushes him out onto the rocks and the boy falls to his death. When the villagers arrive at the hut they find it empty.
Act 3Edit
Act 3 opens with music describing moonlight at night. People are dancing in the Moot Hall. People are very merry. Mrs. Sedley tries to tell people that Grimes is a murderer, but they do not listen. People then start to leave, saying "Goodnight" to one another (especially the Rector). Balstrode is walking with Ellen. He tells her that Grimes's boat is in, but Grimes cannot be found. A boy's jersey has been washed up on the shore. Ellen sings an aria "Embroidery in childhood was a luxury of idleness". It is a moment of stillness in the drama.
A short interlude based on one chord leads to the next scene in which people are looking for Grimes. Grimes drags himself onto the shore. He seems to have gone mad. We hear a foghorn (played by an off-stage tuba) as he sings. Balstrode tells Grimes that he should go out to sea in his boat and sink it.
The opera ends with an epilogue in which the scene is the same as the beginning of the opera. Someone says that a boat has been seen sinking out to sea, but no one is interested. The people have forgotten Grimes, and continue their lives without him.

The photo above shows guttation on native strawberry. It's a funny-sounding word, but an interesting phenomenon. The drops on the leaf margins are not dew, but the result of a process called guttation. Guttation occurs at night, when plants accumulate excess water through their roots, but transpiration through stomata on leaf surfaces has stopped. The excess water is released through pores on the leaf margins. Plant is native wild strawberry, or Virginia strawberry, Fragaria virginiana, and photographed on 25 March 2012 in our Biodiversity Garden. Native wild strawberry is an incredibly fast-growing and spreading, sun-loving ground cover with pretty white and yellow flowers and delicious edible fruits. Plant it this season instead of non-native ground covers, such as the invasive periwinkle, Vinca minor.

Franklin Delano Blenkinsop
Franklin - His first name, forename, or given name. This would once have been his Christian name or baptismal name, but these terms have gone out of fashion in these multi-cultural times.
Delano - His middle name.
Blenkinsop - His surname, family name or last name.
The answer to a question about your name depends on who is asking the question, for example:
When he is making a table reservation: Blenkinsop
When booking an airline ticket: Blenkinsop - Franklin Blenkinsop, or Franklin Blenkinsop
When meeting new colleagues: Franklin Blenkinsop or Franklin
At the gym: Franklin or, perhaps, Frank/Frankie.
However, these are only general ideas. People say different things.

The Shine Mural Festival (stylized "SHINE") returns for its sixth year this November. The seven-day extravaganza is hosted throughout the 'Burg from November 7-14. This year the festival is partnering with PangeaSeed Foundation's Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans program, and calling it "SHINE x Sea Walls: St. Petersburg."
"In these unprecedented times, the SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival is adapting to meet the challenges that St. Petersburg, and many cities around the globe, are facing. And now, more than ever, we recognize the critical need to nurture the arts, celebrate our reconnection to the environment and use art as a unifying force," states Jenee Priebe in a press release from St. Petersburg Arts Alliance.
This year's artist lineup, rather than mixing in national and international artists, will focus entirely on Florida-based artists with an emphasis on Tampa Bay artists creating 10 new murals throughout the city. Also in the works, will be a "Bright Spot" mural in collaboration with local youth to educate and inspire.
According to the release, each wall will explore interconnectedness of human health and environmental health.
"As a coastal city, climate change and sea-level rise are ongoing threats to the wellbeing of St. Petersburg. Beach tourism is an important part of the area's economy and issues of storm surge, plastic pollutants, clean drinking water, harmful algae blooms and sustainable fisheries are important community education topics. Furthermore, intersectionality as it relates to environmental impact will be a focal point of this year's event," shares Priebe.
Being that we're still in the midst of a pandemic, rather than hosting its signature block party, Sea Walls St. Petersburg is set to host virtual events.
Until then, you can get the Pixelstix app, which brings 80 murals from past Shine Mural Festivals to life. The update to the Pixelstix app allows users to view the St. Pete Art Alliance's new "Drive-In Mural Theater," which consists of a three-to-five-minute narration about the work and information about the artist.
More details to come as the 2020 mural festival approaches.

Analysis of European style copper lamp
by：EME LIGHTING 2020-01-23
Modern European style; Also known as neoclassical style;. Modern European-style all-copper lamp design style, from simple to complicated, from the whole to the part, finely crafted, inlaid with flowers and gold, gives a meticulous impression. On the one hand, it retains the general style of all-copper lamp materials and colors, making people feel the historical traces of stealing tradition and the rich cultural heritage. At the same time, it abandons the overly complicated texture and decoration of all-copper lamps and simplifies the lines. The modern European style of copper lamps is more like a diversified way of thinking, combining the romantic feelings of nostalgia with the needs of modern people for life, compatible with luxury, elegance and fashion, it reflects the personalized aesthetic viewpoint and cultural taste in the post-industrial era. 1, the shape is scattered; It is the main feature of modern European copper lamp style. While paying attention to the decorative effect, modern techniques and materials are used to restore the classical temperament of all-copper lamps. The neoclassical style all-copper lamps have both classical and modern aesthetic effects, the perfect combination also gives people spiritual comfort while enjoying material civilization. 2, stress style, all copper lamps in the design is not antique, nor retro but the pursuit of similarity. 3. Use simplified methods, modern materials and processing techniques to pursue the general outline characteristics of traditional all-copper lamps. 4. All-copper lamps pay attention to the decorative effect. Indoor furnishings are used to enhance the historical context. Classical facilities, furniture and furnishings are often copied to set off the indoor environment atmosphere. 5. White, gold, yellow and dark red are the common main colors in European style. A small amount of white is mixed to make the color look bright.
