text:
Of New Testament origin: from a post-classical Latin personal name, a feminine diminutive of the Roman family name Priscus 'ancient'. Priscilla was the name of a woman with whom St Paul stayed at Corinth (Acts 18:3), referred to elsewhere as Prisca. The name was in regular use in the late 16th century and enjoyed a modest vogue in the 19th century.
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational name for a tiler, from an agent derivative of Middle High German ziegel 'roof tile' (Old High German ziagal, from Latin tegula), German Ziegel. In the Middle Ages the term came to denote bricks as well as tiles, and so in some cases the term may have denoted a brickmaker or bricklayer rather than a tiler.

Clay 0.1
--------
Clay is a programming language designed for Generic Programming.
Visit _URL_ for more information.
Pre-requisites
--------------
Clay requires LLVM 3.1, Clang 3.1, and CMake version 2.6 or later.
CMake Configuration
-------------------
Clay uses CMake to configure and control its build system. The build can
be customized by passing cmake arguments of the form
"-D<variable>=<value>" to set CMake variables. In addition to standard
CMake variables such as CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, Clay's
build system uses the following variables:
* LLVM_DIR can be set to the install prefix of an LLVM 3.1 installation.
If not set, CMake will look for an 'llvm-config' script on the PATH.
* PYTHON_EXECUTABLE can be set to the path of a Python 2.x interpreter.
Clay uses a Python 2 script to drive its test suite. Some platforms
(notably Arch Linux) use Python 3 as their 'python' executable, and
this will confuse CMake. Pointing PYTHON_EXECUTABLE at 'python2' may
be necessary on these platforms.
Build Clay on Unix-like Systems
-------------------------------
To build Clay, first run cmake to generate the Makefiles and then run make.
CMake can also build project files for IDEs such as Xcode. Look at CMake
documentation for how to build those. It is recommended that Clay be built
in a separate build directory.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ../
make
The default installation directory for Clay is /usr/local. To change
the installation path, pass -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/my/path to cmake.
To install Clay run
make install
To run the test suite
make test
To compile a clay source file run
clay ../examples/hello.clay
The generated binary
./hello
Build Clay on Windows with Visual C++
-------------------------------------
I use Visual C++ Express 2010 to build LLVM and Clay for Windows.
From a Visual Studio command prompt, build LLVM and Clang using cmake
and the MSVC compiler. There are some issues with Debug builds and
LLVM, so both LLVM and Clay will need to be built as Release. The
default LLVM install directory needs Administrator permissions, so
you may want to set a CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as well. to change it.
Place the Clang repository in llvm-3.1/tools/clang so that LLVM builds
it automatically and compile LLVM with the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\llvm-install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
nmake install
Then to build Clay, run CMake and generate nmake makefiles:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_DIR=<path to LLVM> ..
nmake
Building under Cygwin or Mingw, or with Visual C++ using cmake's
Visual Studio Solution generator, may also work, but I haven't tried
it.

text: With the acceleration of the digitization process, the problem of data security and privacy protection has attracted much attention. Data encryption has always been an important means to solve this problem. However, it is common to store and transfer data in encrypted form. Once calculation is involved, it is often necessary to decrypt the ciphertext, perform the calculation in plaintext, and then encrypt the calculation result. Full homomorphic encryption extends encryption to the computing, which can perform meaningful calculations in ciphertext without decryption, and the calculation process and result are encrypted, so it has the natural characteristics of protecting data security and user privacy. The first full homomorphic encryption scheme was proposed by Gentry in 2009, and then full homomorphic encryption has always attracted the attention of the industry and academia. After more than ten years of research, full homomorphic encryption has developed to the fourth stage, substantial progress has been made. This paper reviews and analyzes the research progress of full homomorphic encryption from the aspects of the construction idea, different research stages and problems faced, introduces the application progress of full homomorphic encryption from the aspects of algorithm library, standardization progress and typical application scenarios, and puts forward suggestions for future research direction.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Deadlock", the USS Voyager is duplicated by an anomaly. Which one of the Voyagers is the original and which one is the duplicate? Or are they both duplicates? Or are they both originals?
Both ships are identical. In the script, it's made explictly clear that a "spatial scission" has caused the ships to diverge by identically duplicating each particle of matter. Since both occupy the same space (albeit separated by a spacial rift), it follows that there is no practical way to identify which is the original.
I've edited for brevity and clarity:
TORRES 2: So I ran a multispectral analysis on the subspace turbulence. It was more than just turbulence. It was some kind of divergence field. And the moment we passed through it, all of our sensor readings doubled. Mass, energy output, bio-signatures, everything. Every particle of matter on this ship seems to have been duplicated in that instant.
JANEWAY 2: Quantum theorists at Kent State University ran an experiment in which a single particle of matter was duplicated using a divergence of subspace fields, a spatial scission.
CHAKOTAY 2: If the same forces were at work inside the plasma cloud, they may have duplicated every particle of matter on Voyager.
 - 2
 I'd rather say that neither of them are the original. The original particles were replaced by their two duplicates. – Lightness Races in Orbit Aug 9 '14 at 22:54
 - _USER_ - It's not made clear in the script whether the particles are both duplicated (e.g. and the original destroyed) or whether one is overlayed onto the other. I'd contend that since they both occupy the same phase space, it's a distinction without a difference. – Valorum Aug 10 '14 at 20:09
 - I would have to agree. – Lightness Races in Orbit Aug 10 '14 at 23:27
I have a different take....
When Janeway describes the ships separation and explains the experiment at Kent State, she states that the matter was duplicated but not the anti-matter. So the original ship would have the anti-matter.
*JANEWAY 2: Matter. But not antimatter.
KIM 2: Captain?
JANEWAY 2: In that Kent State experiment, they were able to duplicate normal matter, but when they tried to duplicate antimatter particles, the experiment failed.
TORRES 2: So the antimatter on the ships wasn't duplicated. Both engines have been trying to draw power from a single source of antimatter.*
And if you recall in the episode the ship that was torn apart was having problems because it appears it didn't have anti-matter flowing in the warp drive while the original ship was bombarding the it's warp drive with the anti-protons. The "healthy" ship for lack of a better term even offered to split it's anti-matter with the other ship, begging the question how could healthy Janeway offer something she was splitting? So one might think the healthy ship was the original one and the one that was torn apart was the duplicate.
Janeway also said the experiment didn't work for long and the two ships couldn't survive in the same space.
*JANEWAY 2: By my estimates, our antimatter supply will run out in less than half an hour.
JANEWAY: The attempt to merge our ships is throwing us further out of phase. The quantum cohesion on both Voyagers is breaking down.
JANEWAY 2: Just like original Kent State experiment. The duplicate atoms couldn't occupy the same point in space time for very long before*
The cohesion issue does does not direct us as to which would survive but just that they couldn't survive in the same space. But why wouldn't they move one of the particles in the experiment into a different space so they could both survive? Why would healthy Janeway know about the anti-matter status but not unhealthy Janeway? This leads us to believe that again the original healthy Janeway has to be original. And one would think that moving the ships further out of phase would help them occupy the same space better.
*JANEWAY 2: We've been boarded. The Vidiians are on the verge of taking over our ship. Are they on yours?
JANEWAY [on viewscreen]: No. We don't think they can detect our ship. Captain, we can have a security detachment cross the spatial rift and board your ship within five minutes.*
The Vidiians could not see the unhealthy one but could see the healthy one. So therefore it would seem that the original ship is the healthy one since they are in phase and more easily discernable and the unhealthy voyager ship is invisible to the Vidiians. This is further evidence of the healthy ship being the original one.
I would argue that the original ship was the healthy one. It acted faster, had access to the anti-matter, the vidiians could see it, and wasn't losing cohesion in the same way the unhealthy one was. What I don't understand is how the unhealthy one was able to fly off unscathed. Hmmm...
I am going to open a new question(s) about this episode any as I have several that aren't really related to this one.
I think it's a plot hole that allows the unhealthy ship to leave so easily and freely at the end.
 - 1
 The unhealthy one probably flew off on impulse. Not that it's going to get far. – Joshua Nov 2 '18 at 16:09
Technically both are the same ship. "Every particle of matter was duplicated", according to Memory Alpha. The event sounds similar to what a transporter does, more specifically, what happened to William and Thomas Riker.
"This isn't really my ship and you're not really my captain and yet you are and there's no difference. But I know there's a difference. Or is there? It's all a little weird." "Mr. Kim, we're Starfleet officers. Weird is part of the job."
 - Kim and Janeway
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and disagree. The Voyager at the beginning of the ep is being bombarded with the proton bursts--the unhealthy ship. "Unhealthy" Kes accidentally crosses the rift to the healthy Voyager. At the end of the ep, the healthy ship is destroyed so we're "following" the same ship we started with. To me this suggests that the unhealthy ship is the original.
Now...in a later season we get a twist on this. Voyager encounters "the silver blood " which duplicates the crew. In a later episode, we witness the crew's bodies breaking down--because they're the duplicates that left the demon planet. The original Voyager wanders by after the duplicate ship "reliquifies."
I know this question is old, but I was so engrossed I feel compelled to give my opinion on the matter for any who google this in the future.
Both are Voyager.
It is explained what had occurred was the duplication of all matter within contact to Voyager. This is not the case of a cell splitting that leaves the original behind and a 'new' clone of itself next to it. This is a case of the molecules diverting from a singular space. Both Voyagers are the Original, by all accounts.
Take for example the Parallel Universe Theory.
It states that every action or inaction creates from itself an entirely new universe that diverts from another. Whether you chose A or B or C, all three occur and are valid extensions of the timeline originating from before a decision was enacted. The Individual you might meet by crossing to a Parallel Universe is you. Both gain separate consciousnesses when their universes split, but both are exact continuations of the singular entity all three once were.
You and your counterpart are both duplicates and yet, the Originals.
While both Voyagers held different power reserves - The Undamaged Voyager notably retaining a far superior power reserve - this is simply due to the 'Pristine' Voyager's use of Proton Bursts. The act of doing so began to damage the Second Voyager seemingly out of nowhere, catching them by surprise and halting their advances towards doing the same. The system and structural damage occurring forced them to attempt to compensate, using up much more power while systems began to fail and break down under the stress.
Both Voyagers were siphoning off a singular reserve of Anti-Matter, the Pristine Voyager simply had larger power reserves left to keep it operational.
In the end you could say the Original Voyager was both destroyed and saved. Both occupied the same space, it's just one overlapped the other. The one on the top layer was the one that was invaded.

text: Cosmos became a reference to design the VIP-lounge architectural image. The cosmic theme is present both directly – as relief portrait of Gagarin or a capsule, a model of a spherical Earth crew capture vehicle, used as a playroom for younger passengers, and metaphorically – as stark emotional architectural images and motives of endurance, breakthrough, miracle, superiority. The miraculous infinite space is filled with enigmatic signs and permeated with bright rays of light, symbolizing a mix of sci-tech achievements and human courage. The vertical light column is a regular element of the two-tier interior organization, comprising a complex architectural structure of a circular floating staircase, a lift in its centre, an adjoining bar and the lighting that makes the space ethereal. The coloristic solution is based on a sky-blue combination of white with various shades of blue. White-blue objects remind of clouds, ploughed by a rocket shooting into mesosphere.

This chapter examines the sociological roots of the current problems in contemporary policing. Employing Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of field, habitus, capital, and doxa the chapter begins by highlighting the cultural mechanisms that maintain and reproduce ineffective policing practices. In an example from Wilmington, Delaware in the United States, the authors show how the 'game' on the field of policing focusses primarily on law enforcement outputs. This game shapes the worldview and dispositions of officers (habitus). Police officers are recognised and rewarded (capital) for acting in ways that align with the game's logic. This process creates the condition doxa, in which the socially constructed and changeable field of policing is mistaken for natural way it should be. This chapter also considers why perspectives on police reform diverge and what this means for the future of policing in an age of reform.

What is Civil Society?
Definition of a CSO
The concepts of 'civil society' and 'civil society organisation' are still debated but we use these terms as they are most widely understood internationally. Other common terms are; nonprofit organisation, charity, NGO, third sector, voluntary sector and so on.
The Centre for Civil Society at John Hopkins University defines a civil society organisation as:
"Any organisation whether formal or informal, that are not part of the apparatus of government, that do not distribute profits to their directors or operators, that are self-governing, and in which participation is a matter of free choice. Both member-serving and public-serving organisations are included. Embraced within this definition, therefore, are private, not-for-profit health providers, schools, advocacy groups, social service agencies, anti-poverty groups, development agencies, professional associations, community-based organisations, unions, religious bodies, recreation organisations, cultural institutions and many more." Statement of the Sixteenth Annual Johns Hopkins International Fellows in Philanthropy Conference Nairobi, Kenya

Water Project H2Ooooh! is a TV-series of 3D cartoon animations that were created based on story boards developed by Italian schools. In 2010 this initiative was devised by Gruppo Alcuni in collaboration with the UNESCO Venice Office and Rai Fiction.
With "Water Project H2Ooooh!" 6,000 students ages 6 to 16 from 280 Italian schools were actively engaged to create a storyboard (or in other words a series of drawings representing the main scenes of a cartoon) on the theme of water and the issues related to its use, to its exploitation and to its limited supply. The schools took part in an educational course which included videos, books, etc which on the one hand allowed children to learn about the creation of animated cartoons and on the other hand it also encouraged a greater understanding of the situation related to water resources in our world today.
The project has been carried out during the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school years and was aimed at all teachers open to participating in a creative activity on the theme of water and science with their Primary or early Secondary school classes. The result is a 3-D animated television series in English and Italian (Italian subtitles) with six Pet Pals as main characters focusing on the issue of water protection, which has been broadcast on the public national broadcaster Rai Due in May and June 2010.

Investigations at the 13th century cathedral, which is the largest church building in northern Europe, have revealed the remains of an earlier building underneath the high altar.
Archaeologists used ground penetration radar to find the remains, which they say could be the remains of the old Holy Trinity Church, which was known to have stood in Uppsala before the present cathedral was built.
It was not known until now where the church was situated.
Archaeologists have also found seven graves under the floor of the high altar, and eight graves under the catherdral's southern doors, reports Uppsala Nya Tidning.
Holy Trinity Church plays a significant part in Sweden's national story. Erik Jedvardsson, king of Sweden, was murdered outside the church in 1160 by Danish pretender Magnus Henriksson. Erik's son later made him a saint, and he is now patron saint of Sweden.
Legend has always maintained that the Holy Trinity Church was situated on the Domberget, where the cathedral now stands, but this has never been confirmed, nor has its exact location ever been found.
But archaeologists, while cautious in their conclusions, say that the building that they have found under the cathedral, with its rounded choir, is typical of a Romanesque church built in the 12th century.
The location of the remains also fits with the archaeologists' theories. That the cathedral's high altar – the most sacred part of the cathedral – is placed over the location of the church would be symbolically appropriate, they say.
"That the church existed has been known, but its location has not," Ronnie Carlsson, archaeologist at Uppsala Museum told Svenska Dagbladet.
"This is the most logical location. If the church was anywhere, it should have been here," he said.

Pausing games
In most games it is desirable to, at some point, interrupt the game to do something else, such as taking a break or changing options. However this is not as simple as it seems. The game might be stopped, but it might be desirable that some menus and animations continue working.
How pausing works
To set pause mode, the pause state must be set. This is done by assigning "true" to the SceneTree.paused member variable:
get_tree().paused = true
GetTree().Paused = true;
Doing so will have the following behavior:
 - 2D and 3D physics will be stopped.
 - _process and _physics_process will not be called anymore in nodes.
 - _input and _input_event will not be called anymore either.
White-listing nodes
Before enabling pause, make sure that nodes that must keep working during pause are white-listed. This is done by editing the "Pause Mode" property in a node:
By default all nodes have this property in the "Inherit" state. This means, that they will only process (or not) depending on what this same property is set on the parent node. If the parent is set to "Inherit", then the grandparent will be checked and so on. Ultimately, if a state can't be found in any of the grandparents, the pause state in SceneTree is used. This means that, by default, when the game is paused every node will be paused.
So the three possible states for a node are:
An example of this is creating a popup or panel with controls inside, and set its pause mode to "Process" then hide it:
Just by setting the root of the pause popup to "Process", all children and grandchildren will inherit that state. This way, this branch of the scene tree will continue working when paused.
func _on_pause_button_pressed():
 get_tree().paused = true
public void _on_pause_button_pressed()
 GetTree().Paused = true;
func _on_pause_popup_close_pressed():
 get_tree().paused = false
public void _on_pause_popup_close_pressed()
 GetTree().Paused = false;
And that should be all!


Specify conditions for ordering
 ORDCOND([FOR ]
 [ALL] [WHILE <;lCondition>]
 [EVAL [EVERY ]]
 [RECORD ] [NEXT ]
 [REST] [DESCENDING])
 FOR specifies the conditional set of records on which
 to create the order. Only those records that meet the condition are
 included in the resulting order. is an expression that may
 be no longer than 250 characters under the DBFNTX and DBFNDX drivers.
 The maximum value for these expressions is determined by the RDD. The
 FOR condition is stored as part of the order bag and used when updating
 or recreating the index using the ORDCREATE() or ORDREBUILD() functions.
 Duplicate key values are not added to the order bag.
 Drivers that do not support the FOR condition produce an "unsupported"
 The FOR clause provides the only scoping that is maintained for all
 database changes. All other scope conditions create orders that do not
 reflect database updates.
 ALL specifies all orders in the current or specified work area. ALL
 is the default scope for ORDCOND().
 WHILE specifies another condition that must be met by
 each record as it is processed. As soon as the record is encountered
 that causes the condition to fail, the ORDCREATE() function terminates.
 If a WHILE clause is specified, the data is processed in the controlling
 order. The WHILE condition is transient (i.e., it is not stored in the
 file, not used for index updates, and not used for index updates and
 ORDREBUILD() purposes). The WHILE clause creates temporary orders, but
 these orders are not updated.
 Drivers that do not support the WHILE condition produce an "unsupported"
 Using the WHILE clause is more efficient and faster than using the FOR
 clause. The WHILE clause only processes data for which is
 true from the current position. The FOR clause, however, processes all
 data in the data source.
 EVAL evaluates a code block every , where
 is a value specified by the EVERY clause. The default value
 is 1. This is useful in producing a status bar or odometer that
 monitors the indexing progress. The return value of must be a
 logical data type. If returns false (.F.), indexing halts.
 EVERY is a clause containing a numeric expression that
 modifies how often is EVALuated. The EVERY option of the EVAL
 clause offers a performance enhancement by evaluating the condition for
 every nth record instead of evaluating every record ordered. The EVERY
 keyword is ignored if you specify no EVAL conditions.
 RECORD specifies the processing of the specified record.
 NEXT specifies the portion of the database to process. If
 you specify NEXT, the database is processed in the controlling order for
 the number of identities. The scope is transient (i.e., it is
 not stored in the order and not used for ORDREBUILDing purposes).
 REST specifies the processing of all records from the current
 position of the record pointer to the end of file (EOF).
 DESCENDING specifies that the keyed pairs be sorted in decreasing
 order of value. If you create a DESCENDING index, you will not need to
 use the DESCEND() function during a SEEK. DESCENDING is an attribute of
 the file, where it is stored and used for ORDREBUILDing purposes.
 ORDCOND() is designed to set up the conditions for creating a new order
 (using the ORDCREATE() function) or rebuilding an existing order (using
 the ORDREBUILD() function). Do not use the ORDCOND() function if you
 wish to create or rebuild an entire index file; it is only used for
 setting particular conditions for the order.
 ORDCREATE() or ORDREBUILD() should be used immediately following the
 ORDCOND() function.
 If the DESCENDING clause is not specified, the order is then assumed to
 be ascending.
 The EVAL clause lets you specify a code block to be evaluated as each
 record is placed in the order. The EVERY clause lets you modify how
 often is called. Instead of evaluating each record as it is
 placed in the order, evaluation only occurs as every records
 are placed in the order. This can be used, for example, to create a
 gauge that displays how far the ORDCREATE() or ORDREBUILD() has
 progressed so far.
 The FOR clause provides the only order scoping that is permanent and
 that can be maintained across the life of the application. The string
 passed as the FOR condition is stored within the order for later use in
 maintaining the order. Though only accessing part of the database,
 orders created using this clause exist as long as the database is
 active. The FOR clause lets you create maintainable scoped orders.
 The WHILE, NEXT, REST, and RECORD clauses process data from the current
 position of the database cursor in the default or specified work area.
 If you specify these clauses, the order list remains open and the active
 order is used to organize the database while it is being created. These
 clauses let you create temporary (non-maintainable) orders. orders
 created using these clauses contain records in which is
 true(.T.) at the location of the record pointer.
 . The following example creates a conditional order based on a
 FOR clause. This index contains only records whose field TransDate
 contains a date greater than or equal to January 1, 1992:
 USE Invoice NEW
 ORDCOND(FOR (Invoice->TransDate >= CTOD
 ORDCREATE("InvDate",, "Invoice->TransDate")
 . The following example creates an order that calls a routine,
 "MyMeter," during its creation:
 USE Invoice NEW
 ORDCREATE("Invoice",, "Invoice->Customer")

Chocolate Bayou Pump Station—Gulf Coast Water Authority, Alvin, TX
GCWA Canal Division operates the existing Chocolate Bayou Pump Station, a surface water pump station which was built to supply irrigation water to agricultural customers. Demand over the years has changed from exclusively agricultural to mostly industrial and existing pumps station is unable to meet the demand. This lead GCWA to pursue construction of a new pump station for the Chocolate Bayou system. A+ Services was selected to provide technical support to prime engineer, which included the review of the pump station preliminary design. As part of the effort, ATS also provided preliminary structural design for pump station.
Virginia Point Metering Stations—Gulf Coast Water Authority, Texas City, TX
The GCWA supplies the City of Galveston with water through two existing waterline systems. However, concerns about the condition of the existing waterline and redundancy in its system prompted the City of Galveston to pursue construction of an additional waterline attached to existing IH-45 bridge to Galveston. The third waterline will require GCWA to increase the pressure in its existing system. A+ Services has selected to develop the design for two (2) 20" above-ground pressure reducing and metering station to control pressure and flow to the existing waterlines supplying Galveston. Both metering stations used full-port electromagnetic flow meter, electronically controlled flow control valve with pressure reducing and pressure sustaining features, and required above ground storage for SCADA controls. A+ Services' efforts included the assessment of optimal locations for the stations, evaluation of pressure reducing valve sizing, development of piping and structural design, and construction phase services for the project.
30"/42" Waterline from Knight and Holmes Road to Sims Bayou Pump Station—City of Houston, Houston, TX
This project involved 39,000 LF of 42" water transmission line and incorporated pump station improvements to Sims Bayou PS (SBPS), including 30" yard piping, a new 30" metering station, four 30" tank connections at the SBPS, and improvements to the chlorinator, ammoniator, and SCADA system. In addition, the project included extensive pavement reconstruction along concrete roadways. The project was constructed with a combination of PCCP, Barwrapped, and steel waterline.

The map below displays a gray relief of the flow direction grid for the 1 KM African DEM. The boxed in region identifies the Congo-Zaire flow channels and displays the complex amount of information that can be extracted from the DEM. The movement of water across the land surface is called runoff. The directions runoff flows across a DEM surface is called flow directions. The flow directions are determined by finding the steepest descent from each cell in the DEM. The distance and direction of descent is calculated by using the eight neighborhood process (ESRI, 1992) adapted from Jenson and Domingue (1988). Once flow directions are developed, basin delineation can be accomplished.

Selective cutting in miombo woodland
Together with Institute of Resource Assessment, University of Dar es Salaam,
we developed several satellite derived deforestation and dedradation measures
for miombo woodland during a University colloboration project
'Agricultural and Ecological
Consequences of Deforestation and Afforestation in Tanzania and Zambia
based on Satellite Remote Sensing'.
Landsat data used to spot degradation areas around Mbeya
Town in South Western Tanzania.
The miombo woodland
eco-environment is comparable more stable than the West-African Sudano zone,
which open up for biomass measures of miombo. By calibartion of annual images it
was possible to measure general increase or decrease in biomass in miombo
woodland. The study confessed that the Ujamaa villagisation was a prime course
to deforestation and degradation. The above example show decrease in wood
resources around the town Mbeya - most of the degradation was coursed by cutting
for fuel wood.
The results have
implications for biomass accounting and REDD.

How to Count the Number Of Non-Blank Lines In PHP?
7 minutes read
To count the number of non-blank lines in PHP, you can follow these steps:
 1. Open your PHP file or create a new one.
 2. Define a variable to keep track of the line count, for example: $count = 0;.
 3. Open the file using the fopen() function and pass the file name or path as a parameter.
 4. Use a while loop to go through each line of the file until it reaches the end.
 5. Within the loop, use the fgets() function to read each line.
 6. Check if the line is not empty or does not consist only of whitespace characters using the trim() function. trim() removes leading and trailing whitespace from a string. You can use an if condition to perform this check: if(trim($line) !== ''). If the line is not empty, increment the line count variable: $count++.
 7. After the loop ends, close the file using fclose() to free up system resources.
 8. Finally, you can display the count of non-blank lines by echoing the value of the $count variable.
Here's an example of how the implementation might look:

$count = 0;
$filename = 'path/to/your/file.txt';
$file = fopen($filename, 'r');
while (!feof($file)) {
 $line = trim(fgets($file));
 if ($line !== '') {
 $count++;
 }
}
fclose($file);
echo "Number of non-blank lines: " . $count;
Make sure to replace 'path/to/your/file.txt' with the actual path or name of your file.
This code reads each line of the file, trims any leading or trailing whitespace, and increments the count if the line is not empty. Finally, it echoes the total count of non-blank lines.

How do I calculate the number of non-blank lines in a PHP file?
To calculate the number of non-blank lines in a PHP file, you can use the following steps:
 1. Read the content of the PHP file into a variable:
1
$fileContent = file_get_contents('path/to/file.php');
 1. Split the content into lines using the explode() function with the delimiter \n (new line):
1
$lines = explode("\n", $fileContent);
 1. Loop through each line and check if it is non-blank:
1
2
3
4
5
6
$nonBlankLines = 0;
foreach ($lines as $line) {
 if (trim($line) !== '') { // check if the line, after trimming whitespace, is not empty
 $nonBlankLines++;
 }
}
 1. Print or use the $nonBlankLines variable as desired:
1
echo 'Number of non-blank lines: ' . $nonBlankLines;
Putting it all together, here's an example of calculating the number of non-blank lines in a PHP file:

$fileContent = file_get_contents('path/to/file.php');
$lines = explode("\n", $fileContent);
$nonBlankLines = 0;
foreach ($lines as $line) {
 if (trim($line) !== '') {
 $nonBlankLines++;
 }
}
echo 'Number of non-blank lines: ' . $nonBlankLines;
Replace 'path/to/file.php' with the actual path to the PHP file you want to analyze.
What is the easiest way to count non-blank lines in PHP?
The easiest way to count non-blank lines in PHP is by using the file function to read the file into an array, and then iterating through the array to count the non-blank lines.
Here's an example:
 1
 2
 3
 4

$file = 'path/to/file.txt'; // Replace with the actual file path
$lines = file($file); // Read the file into an array
$nonBlankLineCount = 0; // Initialize the count
foreach ($lines as $line) {
 // Trim the line to remove leading/trailing whitespace
 // and check if it's not empty
 if (!empty(trim($line))) {
 $nonBlankLineCount++;
 }
}
echo 'Number of non-blank lines: ' . $nonBlankLineCount;
This code reads the lines of the file into an array using the file function. Then, it iterates through each line in the array, trims it to remove leading/trailing whitespace, and checks if it's not empty. If the line is not empty, it increments the nonBlankLineCount variable. Finally, it outputs the count of non-blank lines.
What is the best approach to count non-blank lines in PHP?
One approach to count non-blank lines in PHP is to read the file line by line using the file() function, and then filter out the blank lines using the array_filter() function. Here's an example:
 1
 2
 3
 4

$file = 'path/to/file.txt';
// Read the file into an array of lines
$lines = file($file);
// Remove blank lines
$nonBlankLines = array_filter($lines, function($line) {
 return trim($line) != '';
});
// Count the non-blank lines
$lineCount = count($nonBlankLines);
echo "Non-blank line count: " . $lineCount;
This approach reads the entire file into an array, filters out the blank lines using a callback function in array_filter(), and then gets the count of the non-blank lines using count().
How to determine the total count of lines excluding blank lines in PHP?
To determine the total count of lines excluding blank lines in PHP, you can use the following code:
 1

$file = "path/to/your/file.txt";
$lineCount = 0;
// Open the file
$handle = fopen($file, "r");
// Loop through each line until the end of file
while (!feof($handle)) {
 $line = fgets($handle);

 // Exclude blank lines
 if (trim($line) !== "") {
 $lineCount++;
 }
}
// Close the file
fclose($handle);
// Output the line count
echo "Total count of lines excluding blank lines: " . $lineCount;
Replace the path/to/your/file.txt with the actual path to your file. After running this code, it will output the total count of lines excluding blank lines.

Cut Tourism VAT
Cut tourism VAT, boost british jobs
Some quick answers to frequently asked questions about the campaign.
What is different about VAT?
Unlike most aspects to do with taxation, VAT is regulated by the EU. Reduced rates can only be applied to a limited range of goods and services specified in the regulations.
So hotels and attractions are included amongst those services that can have a reduced rate?
Yes. The permitted goods and services include:
- Accommodation provided by hotels and similar establishments including the provision of holiday accommodation and the letting of camping sites and caravan parks,
- Restaurant services
Why have most countries applied reduced rates of VAT to tourism?
Most EU governments recognise that:
1. Tourism is highly price-sensitive and subject to intense international competition; reducing VAT leads to lower prices which increases tourism demand, and this can stimulate other parts of the economy
2. Increasing tourism in this way is a highly cost-efficient way of creating jobs, and these jobs span the socio-economic spectrum.
3. Direct revenues foregone because of the reduced VAT rate by government treasury departments can be more than made up by tax income from increased employment and company profits and by reduced social security payments for the unemployed.
So how would you summarise the impact of a VAT reduction?
In short, a reduced rate of VAT would:
1. Generate higher levels of employment, with increased wage levels and training. These benefits would occur throughout the age and socio-economic spectrum and throughout the UK.
2. Increase additional tax receipts as a result of this additional employment with consequential savings on social security payments.
3. Increase profits, corporation tax payments and shareholder dividends.
4. Lead to further investment in the industry, improving overall quality and therefore further improving the UK's competitiveness.
5. Feed through to higher expenditure in other sectors of the economy, which in turn will generate further tax receipts – the 'tourism multiplier'. Every additional £1 of tourism expenditure generates 70p of extra expenditure in other sectors of the economy,
Why should tourism be singled out for preference by the UK government?
On three main counts:
1. The higher rate of VAT in the UK makes the UK uncompetitive with nearly all other European competitor countries.
2. Tourism is the only export which is subject to a domestic tax.
3. The independent study by Deloitte/Tourism Respect forecasts that if VAT were reduced to five per cent for visitor accommodation and attractions, 78,000 full time equivalent jobs will be created in the accommodation and attractions sector.
But what will happen if VAT is not reduced on hotel accommodation and visitor attractions?
If VAT is not reduced, it's likely that:
1. The UK's share of international tourism receipts will continue to fall in comparison with European competitor countries.
2. The decline in domestic tourism expenditure by UK residents will continue (inflation adjusted domestic tourism expenditure fell by four per cent per annum between 2000 and 2008, before recovering slightly in 2009).
3. The decline in the proportion of total UK tourism expenditure spent on holidays at home relative to holidays abroad will continue. This has fallen from 50 per cent of total UK tourism expenditure in 2000 to 36 per cent in 2008.
All three scenarios conflict with the prime minister's stated aims for UK tourism and the aim of the government's tourism strategy.
Doesn't reducing VAT just mean that operators will make more profits?
In a survey of BHA members in January 2012, over 95 per cent of over 200 respondents said that if a five per cent VAT rate was achieved some or all of it would be passed on. 82 per cent said they would invest more in their product/facilities, 67 per cent would employ more people, 57 per cent would invest more in training and just under half (48 per cent) would increase staff wages.
Competition within the sector eventually compels operators to lower prices. The Copenhagen Economics study analysed six case studies where a VAT rate reduction had occurred. The report concluded that: '…there is little doubt that permanently lowering the VAT rate on particular goods (or services) sooner or later will lead to a reduction in the price of the goods more or less corresponding to the monetary equivalent of the lower VAT rate … In economics jargon, there will be a strong tendency towards full pass-through.'
('Pass through' here means that the full impact of the reduction in VAT is reflected in lower prices equivalent to the reduction in VAT.)
Similarly, there is little doubt, according to Copenhagen Economics, that the price cuts that result from a permanent lowering of VAT rate will lead to increased consumption and consequently to increased production and employment. Such increases will occur more rapidly and be more significant in sectors with high price elasticity, strong competition and labour-intensive sectors. Tourism displays all three of these characteristics. It can typically take two to three years for this full effect to be realised.
So, would a guarantee by the hospitality and attractions industry to reduce prices be effective?
Rack rates exist but many hotels operate yield management systems which use flexible pricing strategies which increase or reduce prices according to demand, similar to the airlines but unlike manufactured goods which normally have a standard price. A room selling at £100 at a time of slack demand may well rise to £200 at peak demand; as a result it may appear that the level of VAT has had no impact when, in fact, the benefit will be there but not obvious.
What about bed taxes?
In Europe and North America, bed taxes have been contemplated or initiated mainly at the city rather than at national level, so the impact on overall national or pan-European tourism has been limited. In some cases the experience has been that bed taxes have been counter-productive in that they increase overall price, making destinations uncompetitive – in exactly the way that occurs with high rates of VAT. Examples of where a bed tax has been introduced and subsequently removed include Rotterdam and the Balearic Islands.
How much will it cost the government to reduce VAT on hotels and visitor attractions?
According to the estimates in the Deloitte/Tourism Respect, report, the government will lose up to £1.2bn in foregone VAT per annum. However, as soon as the VAT reduction measure is introduced, it will set off a virtuous growth cycle – prices will come down, stimulating increased demand, leading to recruitment, investment and expansion in the sector. According to our detailed fiscal model, income will be generated for the Treasury that more than compensates for the foregone VAT revenue. HMT begins to recoup its investment within three years and, over a ten year period, this would become a net gain of £2.6bn.
But if London hotels are operating at 80 per cent plus average year-round occupancy, why do they need a reduction in VAT?
It's not just London hotels that will benefit. Provincial hotels, which operate at ten per cent lower occupancy, will also gain. The major factor keeping London hotel occupancy high is the rate of exchange which has greatly encouraged overseas visitors to the UK. This benefit has over-ridden the negative impact of the rise in VAT to 20 per cent but it reinforces how competitive international tourism is.
And it is not only hotels. Visitor attractions and all other forms of visitor accommodation will benefit including self-catering, B&Bs, holiday camps, caravan and chalet parks, camping sites.
In any case, if exchange rates stay as they are and London hotels continue to trade at high occupancy levels, this will stimulate further hotel construction which, in turn, will create jobs in construction as well as jobs in the new hotels – all the time increasing London's capacity to host visitors.

Investigate anomalies
When you find an interesting anomaly, you want to quickly understand the root cause. Addy performs an automated investigation for most anomalies, which means that you can view detail metrics in the anomaly description to immediately learn what contributed to an issue. When multiple factors contribute to an anomaly, you can also see the percentage of their contribution to the anomaly. For example, the following figure show which client, server, and URI are linked to an HTTP 404 anomaly.
Note:Automated investigation is not available for server processing time anomalies. For these anomalies, you can investigate anomalies from a protocol page in the Discover or Command appliance.
To learn more about the scope of an anomaly on your network, you can continue your investigation by opening an activity map or visiting a protocol page.
Open an activity map from an anomaly
When a single client or server is associated with unusual L7 protocol activity, such as a high number of HTTP errors or DNS request timeouts, an activity map link appears.
 1. Log into the Web UI on the Discover or Command appliance and then click Anomalies at the top of the page.
 2. Find the anomaly that you want to investigate. The following figure shows an example of the Activity Map link for a database server that sent an unusual number of errors.
 3. Click Activity Map.
 An activity map appears for the database server. The activity map in the following figure shows the two database clients that were connected to the server during the anomaly time frame.
You can now interact with the activity map to learn more about the effect of the database errors across the network:
 - Click any client in the map to access a menu that contains a Go to Device... link. Click the link to open a protocol page with client metrics, such as requests and responses.
 - In the left pane below Step 1, click Add Step and then click All Peers in the drop-down list. The map updates to show you which downstream devices are connected to the database clients, as shown in the following figure.
 - Save and then share your activity map with other ExtraHop users.
For more information about activity maps, see Activity maps concepts.
If you want to further investigate anomalous metrics, you can navigate to a protocol page where you have access to additional charts, metrics, and tools.
 1. Log into the Web UI on the Discover or Command appliance and then click Anomalies at the top of the page.
 2. Find the anomaly that you want to investigate.
 3. Click the source name, as shown in the following figure.
 The anomalous protocol page for the device or application appears, which displays all of the metric data associated with that specific device or application during the anomaly time interval, as shown in the figure below.
Next steps
From a protocol page, you can then choose one of the following options to further investigate metric data:
Best practices for investigating anomalies
Addy provides you with high-quality, actionable data about anomalies—but does not replace decision-making or expertise about your network. The following best practices explain how to determine which anomalies are worth further investigation and when to take action.
Change the time interval to see when anomalies occurred
Learn if anomalies occurred before, after, or during a reported problem. For example, does the time frame of the anomaly coincide with a reported issue, such as slow load times or login times? You can also compare anomalies from the past month to the current date, which gives you a sense of whether the occurrence or severity of anomalies is changing over time.
For more information, see Find and filter anomalies.
Create an anomaly alert
You can configure an alert to receive email notifications when an anomaly occurs. Anomaly alerts also help you quickly find anomalies for a specific device or application on the Alert History page.
For more information, see Configure Addy anomaly alert settings.
Filter anomalies by protocol
Filter by protocol to quickly monitor critical protocols with a role in security, commerce, or communication processes.
For example, an FTP 530 error anomaly might indicate that someone is trying to gain unauthorized access to information on your network. Or Citrix server and client latency anomalies might indicate that users are experiencing long load times for their roaming desktop profiles.
Selecting different protocols can also show you how anomalies correlate to each other. An anomalous HTTP response time followed immediately by an anomalous CIFS server processing time might suggest that web servers are dependent on how quickly your file storage servers can send and receive file data.
For more information, see Find and filter anomalies.

After the New Jersey Legislature was relocated to Trenton from Perth Amboy during 1790, a new state house was constructed during 1792 by Philadelphia-based architect Jonathan Doane. Subsequent additions were made to the building during the 19th century. Architects who contributed to the New Jersey State House during the 19th century include John Notman (1845 created office wing on North side) who was a Philadelphia architect and Samuel Sloan (1871 designed new wings) who was also a Philadelphia architect. On March 21, 1885, a large fire caused the destruction of the State Street wing. Lewis Broome, from Jersey City helped to redesign the building.
The New Jersey State House attained its present size during 1911 and has not been changed significantly other than by modernization of the main corridor during 1950. A 1960 plan, calling for the replacement of the oldest sections of the State House with modern... Read More

Q.19:- A hoop of radius 2 m weighs 100 kg. It rolls along a horizontal floor so that its centre of mass has a speed of 20 cm/s. How much work has to be done to stop it?
Radius of the hoop, r = 2 m
Mass of the hoop, m = 100 kg
Velocity of the hoop, v = 20 cm/s = 0.2 m/s
Total energy of the hoop = Translational K.E. + Rotational K.E.
ET = (1/2)mv2 + (1/2) I ω2
Moment of inertia of the hoop about its centre, I = mr2
ET = (1/2)mv2 + (1/2) (mr2)ω2
But we have the relation, v = rω
∴ ET = (1/2)mv2 + (1/2)mr2ω2
= (1/2)mv2 + (1/2)mv2 = mv2
The work required to be done for stopping the hoop is equal to the total energy of the hoop.
∴ Required work to be done, W = mv2 = 100 × (0.2)2 = 4 J.

basic QinQ configuration on Huawei switches
In traditional 802.1Q protocol, service provider should assign different VLAN IDs to users of different VLANs. The numer of VLANs is limited to 4094 IDs. In addition, different users cannot use the same VLAN ID.
A simple method to solve this is to implement QinQ. The QinQ technology improves the utilization of VLANs by adding another 802.1Q tag to a packet with an 802.1Q tag. In this manner, services from the private VLAN can be transparently transmitted through the public network. The ISP network only provides one VLAN ID for different VLANs from the same user network. This saves VLAN IDs of an ISP. Meanwhile, the QinQ provides a simple Layer 2 VPN solution to a small MAN or a local area networks.
QinQ tunneling on Huawei switches
Let's assume that we have two enteprise networks. Each enterprise has two branch offices, located in different cities. As an ISP, we cannot force these enterprises to use different VLAN planning. In our case, both use VLAN 10 and our task is to transparently transmitt traffic, through ISP network, between remote offices.
What we want to achieve is to ensure communication between remote offices of each enterprise and to block communication between Enterprise_1 and Enterprise_2. We can use basic QinQ tunneling in this case. It adds the same outer VLAN tag to all the frames entering a Layer 2 port.

Genealogy Friday: Why Family Reunions Are Dying Out
posted in: Family Reunion, Genealogy | 0
Recently, I had someone ask when we were going to have the next family reunion. I honestly answered "I don't know."
With over 500+ descendants living, we are lucky to have the same faithful group of about thirty to attend each year. We've noticed that there just is not a large interest in getting together.
That same weekend, I saw a large family group that had gathered for an extended holiday weekend. This family of 80+ individuals had gathered from not only all over the country, but some members even came from other parts of the world. On top of that, they all attended church together.
It is important to gather and celebrate being a family and our ancestors
I wondered, why they had such a wonderful turn out when other family reunions are dying out.
So why are family reunions dying out?
 1. The younger generation has no interest in getting together. Often they do not even know who the reunion is for or how they are related to this family group.
 2. The older generations are dying out and have not shared stories and memories of their family. On several lines of my family, as well as numerous other family's I've talked with, this is a common reason that family reunion has not continued.
 3. No one has an interest in stepping up and taking over the planning of the family reunion.
 4. There are too many other obligations, distractions and commitments to be met. This is especially true with families that have children involved in sports and/or the arts.
 5. Illness can often affect families so that individuals are unable to attend.
 6. Finances can affect individuals, depending on the distance of travel and other financial obligations for the reunion.
 7. No interest in family history. Sadly, this is still very common, especially with the younger generations. They have no interest in their roots or where they came from.
What are some reasons you've discovered family reunions are dying out?

IMF: How social unrest can inspire changes in policy
Protests driven by the pandemic's economic fallout are on the rise, with potentially long-lasting economic consequences.
Protests can be catalysts for political reform and social change. But what impact do they have on the economy?
According to the latest Global Peace Index, the number of riots, general strikes and anti-government demonstrations around the world have increased by a staggering 244 percent in the last decade. Lockdowns and fears of contagion forced a temporary lull. But in virtually every region of the world, demonstrators are making a comeback. Causes range from frustration over governments' handling of the crisis to mounting inequality and corruption—factors that tend to heighten existing tensions and disparities, and have led to social unrest in the aftermath of previous pandemics.
Using the Reported Social Unrest Index (RSUI)—an index developed by IMF staff based on press coverage—we find that the short to medium-term economic costs of social unrest can in fact be quite large, especially in emerging markets and developing economies (we do not study the potential long-term impacts).
A new wave of unrest could affect the recovery
In our working paper, we estimate the macroeconomic impact of social unrest over the period _PHONE_. In addition, we identify social unrest events—events that create an unusually high increase in the RSUI—and classify these into three categories, based on the underlying cause of the trigger: political, socio-economic and mixed.
To give a real-world example, think of the demonstrations that followed former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto's election in 2012 or Chile's presidential election in 2013—this is a less significant shock equivalent to one standard deviation, which can reduce GDP by about 0.2 percentage points six months after the shock.
On average, GDP remains 1 percentage point below its pre-shock level a year after a major protest. Image: IMF
By comparison, the protests of July 2019 in Hong Kong SAR and the yellow vest protests of 2018 in France—which meet the threshold of social unrest events as defined above—resulted in an increase of 4 standard deviations in the RSUI causing a GDP reduction of about 1 percentage point.
These effects on GDP seem to be driven by sharp contractions in manufacturing and services (sectoral dimension), and consumption (demand dimension). Our findings also suggest that social unrest affects activity by lowering confidence and increasing uncertainty.
Not all countries and events are equal
We also find that the adverse impact of unrest is typically larger in countries with weak institutions and limited policy space. Thus, countries with weak fundamentals pre-pandemic are expected to suffer the most should social discontent turn into unrest.
The economic impact of unrest also differs by the type of event: protests motivated by socio-economic concerns result in sharper GDP contractions compared to those associated mainly with politics/elections. Demonstrations triggered by a combination of both socio-economic and political factors—not unlike what we saw in Tunisia and Thailand earlier this year—have the biggest impact.
Policy matters
Public protests can be an important expression of the need to change policy. Governments need to listen and respond, but also try to anticipate people's needs with policies aimed at giving everyone a fair shot at prosperity. Boosting employment, containing the long-term impact of the crisis and protecting those who have been left behind must remain priorities. To ensure success and avoid strife, recent IMF staff research notes that reforms require a broad social dialogue on the role of the state and how to sustainably finance budget pressures. Otherwise, the economic costs of the pandemic will likely be compounded by those of the ensuing unrest.

I am using random hot-deck imputation on a repeated measures dataset.
I am tempted to use Rubin's rules for pooling the results of multiple imputation, in particular for regression coefficients. Intuitively it seems the average of the coefficient estimates could be used, but I really don't have any insight about pooling the standard errors and I have not seen any literature about this (Little & Rubin's book seems to be silent on the matter, unless I have missed something)
How can I pool regression coefficient estimates and their standard errors when performing random hot-deck imputation? Pragmatic advice, theoretical justification and/or references to the literature would be most welcome.
Edit: To clarify, by "random hot deck imputation", I mean:
Hot deck imputation involves replacing missing values of one or more variables for a non-respondent (called the recipient) with observed values from a respondent (the donor) that is similar to the non-respondent with respect to characteristics observed by both cases. In some versions, the donor is selected randomly from a set of potential donors, which we call the donor pool; we call these methods random hot deck methods

Easily mounted on meters including AW-Lake Gear Meters and Turbine Flow Meters, the EDGE Flow Sensor outputs a frequency, current or analog signal that gives users more installation flexibility, especially when unsure of readout equipment or a control room interface.
With the ability to force the sensor to output a frequency or analog signal, connections to a user interface are verifiable without the need to run fluid flow. The sensor offers three optional pulse output configurations including push/pull, sinking, and sourcing. A Modbus output adds additional system compatibility for more advanced operations.
A Bluetooth mobile application gives users the ability to monitor and program flow meters from the convenience of a smartphone without having to be directly in front of the unit. Operators can remotely configure, set parameters, fine-tune adjustments and troubleshoot the sensor remotely using a mobile device. The mobile application also supports basic scaling and advanced functions, allowing for remote correction of non-linear flow meters to keep a linear analog output. Using the mobile application, users can turn a smartphone or tablet into a wireless flow monitor that works in the palm of their hands!
Designed with a significantly reduced package size, the EDGE Flow Sensor fits in small spaces and can connect to a PC via standard USB-C cable. More resistant to system vibration than competitive units, the sensor has no contact between the pickup nose and meter to minimize the chance of its damage due to rough handling or installation.

There is another exercise where I am given a non-linear system of ODEs and a question that confuses me:
Consider $$x'=x(y+1)\\ \text{ and }\\ y'=xy+2.$$
"Determine stationary points of the system, and linearize the system at the stationary points, determine the geometric type of the linearizations and the stability."
The only stationary point is $(x=2,y=-1)$. For the stability, I wrote $$f(x)=x(y+1),\\ g(y)=xy+2,$$ then differentiated: $$f'(x)=y+1,\\ g'(y)=x.$$ At $(-1,2)$, these values are $0$ and $2$. For $f$, I wrote that we cannot use linear terms in the expansion and hence would have to consider $f''$ and so on. For $g$, since it's greater than zero, the point is not linearly stable in $y$-direction.
But what is meant by "determine the geometric type of the linearizations"? What are types of linearizations? What am I missing here?

For the stability you should evaluate the Jacobi matrix (see my comment here). The geometric type of linearization is determined by the eigenvalues of this matrix. You can start learning these matters, e.g., here.

A healthy city is one that continually creates and improves psychosocial and social environments and expands community resources allowing people to develop to their maximum portential. The role of SEDoHs is incontestable, yet we continue to face many of the same SEDoH-related problems despite what we know.
Objectives and Approach
This project presents the idea of "Empathic Cultural Mapping" (ECM). ECM is an interactive story map which brings together vignettes taken from individual stories curated with "big data" derived from places such as Statistics Canada, the City of Calgary, and library holdings at the University of Calgary. ECM seeks to challenge users to re-imagine long held constructions around sectoral, and disciplinary driven interpretations and categorizations of lifestyle, consumption, health, and the environment. ECM seeks to encourage knowledge users from multiple sectors to think beyond what is known and to consider what might be possible.
ECM is a creative interactive undertaking. In developing ECM, a range of creative research processes have been used to record and tell the stories of a small group of newcomers (defined as those who migrate, seek refuge, or claim asylum in Canada) and position these within large data. A desire to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and communties through opening processes of dialogoue between local government, non-government organizations, communitites, and individuals lies at the heart of this project. Knowledge and sense-making are key features of individual and community empowerment within the ECM and are viewed as powerful stimuli for change as well as powerful allies for health and a buffer against its threats.
ECM creates, shares, and brings together individual stories and 'big data'. It identifies needs that impact health in the everyday. It seeks to improve awareness of the world around us. It encourages people to communicate their experiences. Finally, it achieves its goals by using creative processes.

In 2014, CBS News published an article declaring South Dakota one of the country's top ten fastest-growing states. As the Mount Rushmore State continues to welcome a growing population due to thriving oil and gas industries, more highly skilled professionals like forensic psychologist will be needed to accommodate a larger pool of residents and the subsequent increase in crime and incarceration rates.
The United States Department of Labor expects an 11% employment growth trend for forensic psychologists in South Dakota between 2012 and 2022. As a result, forensic psychologists can anticipate a greater number of high-paying jobs as the demand for their specialized expertise continues to rise.
How Experience Affects Earnings for Forensic Psychologists in South Dakota
According to the United States Department of Labor, forensic psychologists are listed among South Dakota's highest-paying occupations that require at least a master's degree education.
In 2014, forensic psychologists working statewide earned an average annual salary of $73,830 and an average hourly wage of $35.50. Forensic psychologists that intend to surpass this state average are encouraged to attain as much experience as possible and consider establishing independent practices so as to provide consultation services on a contract basis.
In South Dakota, the most experienced forensic psychologists typically earn more than twice that of their less experienced colleagues:
- Forensic psychologists in entry-level positions earned an average annual salary of $47,900 and an average hourly wage of $23.05.
- Forensic psychologists at their mid-career point were awarded a higher average annual salary of $68,400 and an average hourly wage of $32.87.
- Forensic psychologists with the most experience (top 10%) were handsomely compensated with an average annual salary of $98,700 and an average hourly wage of $47.46.
Forensic Psychologist Salaries in South Dakota by Region
Salary information published by the United States Department of Labor shows that forensic psychologists in South Dakota experienced salary variations depending upon the region in which they were located.
For example, in 2014 forensic psychologists working in Rapid City were paid an average annual salary of $83,930. However, those practicing in Sioux Falls made an average annual salary of $76,870. Meanwhile, forensic psychologists in the Eastern South Dakota nonmetropolitan area earned a much lower average annual salary of $58,710.
The following occupational wage table provides a closer look at forensic psychologist salaries in the abovementioned regions of South Dakota (US Department of Labor, 2014):

A training programme aimed at igniting the co-operative movement on the campus was organised by NCUI in collaboration with Udaybhansinhji Regional Institute of Cooperative Management, Gandhinagar last week in Ahmedabad. Kendriya Vidyalaya School teachers counting more than 50 from the Ahmedabad Region participated in the programme.
On the first day of the programme, lectures were given on topics related to basic concept of cooperatives, their principles, values, ways in which cooperatives are different from corporates, success stories in cooperatives, functioning of cooperatives in schools/colleges and universities, etc.
A particular focus was given on the ways in which the students can show interest in cooperatives as a career. On the second day of the programme, the participants were taken for a field visit to Amul, and Charottar Gas Cooperative Society.
The participants appreciated the work of these successful cooperatives, and had their doubts resolved regarding their functioning. They were overwhelmed to see the Corporate-style functioning of Amul, claimed a press release from NCUI.
The teachers were equally impressed when they saw how women members of the co-operative handled customers at gas station at Charottar Gas Cooperative. They marveled at women members' skill-sets.
J. Prasad, Dy Commissioner (I/C).KVS, Ahmedabad Region was present during the valedictory session. The feedback of the programme was quite satisfactory, notes a press release from NCUI.
The participants suggested that 3-4 day programmes may be organized, and workshops may be organized for the Principals of Kendriya Vidyalaya schools too so that the top school management functionaries may be sensitized to the importance of cooperatives.
It was emphasized that the teachers should encourage students to take up project works in cooperatives. Sanjay Verma, Dy Director, Coop Connect, NCUI coordinated the programme.
