How to check if 2 arrays are equal using numpy
This recipe helps you check if 2 arrays are equal using numpy
Recipe Objective
While operating over arrays, we might be interested in finding whether if the two arrays are equal in shape and values.
So this recipe is a short example on how to check if 2 arrays are equal. Let's get started.
Market Basket Analysis Project in Python with Real World Example
Step 1 - Import the library
import numpy as np
Let's pause and look at these imports. Numpy is generally helpful in data manipulation while working with arrays. It also helps in performing mathematical operation.
Step 2 - Generating two arrays
x = np.array([1,2,3,4]) y = np.array([1,2,3])
Here, we have created two simple arrays having differnet shape and values.
Step 3 - Checking equality
np.array_equal(x,y)
Now we simply using array_equal function to compute for equality between two arrays.
Step 4 - Let's look at our dataset now
Once we run the above code snippet, we will see:

Christiana Fahl Gravestone
posted May 18, 2010, 6:35 AM by James Wise [ updated Aug 29, 2010, 10:32 PM by Travis Wise ]
Gravestone of Christiana Fahl found through "FindAGrave" at Beavertown Cemetery, Beavertown, Snyder Co, PA. According to the gravestone she was born around Jan 16, 1777 and died Feb 7, 1861. She was 84 years and 22 days old. Other Falls found using "FindAGrave" in the Beavertown Cemetery were Samuel Fall and Cora Fall.
Could Christiana Fahl and Christena Falls be the same person. It is possible, since consistent spelling of names was hit or miss. As far as ages, according to Christiana's gravestone in 1861 when she died she was 84 years old. Her approximate birth date would have been 1877. On the 1860 Census, Christena's age was indicated at 75, giving her a possible birth date around 1885.
Neither the differences in names or age preclude them from being the same person, but more information is needed to know either way.

Model information (Last updated: September 11, 2015)
The WRF (version 3.6.1) with Polar Mods (Polar WRF) setting is used in the real-time numerical weather predictions over the Antarctic. The Polar Mods were developed by the Polar Meteorology Group at The Ohio State University to better handle Arctic/Antarctic conditions for forecasting purposes. In this configuration, the model consists of 385x385 grid points with a horizontal resolution 20 km. In vertical, the model has 48 terrain-following levels, and the top pressure is set to 10 hPa.
The Antarctic Polar WRF Runs contain the following parameterization schemes:
The model starts at 0000/1200 UTC as its initial times every day and produces a 120-hour prediction for the Antarctic. The initial and boundary conditions are interpolated from the daily 0000/1200 UTC run of the Global Forecast System (GFS) issued by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).
Model output information
The following real-time model outputs are placed on the website:

Kusatsu-Shirane volcanoKusatsu-Shirane volcano is a complex of overlapping cones and 3 lake-filled craters (Karagama, Yugama, Mizugama) at the summit. It is located 150 km NW of Tokyo.
All historical eruptions have consisted of phreatic explosions from the acidic crater lakes or their margins. There are fumaroles and hot springs around the flanks of the volcano, and many rivers draining from the volcano are acid. Similar to Ijen volcano, the crater was the site of active sulfur mining for many years during the 19th and 20th centuries.
Background:The andesitic-to-dacitic volcano was formed in 3 eruptive stages beginning in the early to mid Pleistocene. The Pleistocene Oshi pyroclastic flow produced extensive welded tuffs and non-welded pumice that covers much of the east, south and SW flanks. The latest eruptive stage began about 14,000 years ago.
Yugama crater ("hot-water cauldron") contains the most active vent. Its lake is 270 m wide and up to 27 m deep and contains highly acidic (pH = 1.2 ) and salty (app. 1% salt) water.
The surface temperature of the lake is heated by vents at the lake bottom. In the interval 1910 to 1918, water temperatures reached a maximum of 100°C. Subaqueous fumaroles with molten sulfur pools exist in the center of the lake.
- Smithsonian / GVP
- B. Takano, K. Watanuki (1990) "Monitoring of volcanic eruptions at Yugama crater lake by aqueous sulfur oxyanions", Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, Volume 40, Issue 1, January 1990, Pages 71-87
A small hydrothermal explosion likely occurred at Kusatsu-Shirane volcano on 7 February 1996.
Broken pieces of the ice sheet 20-30 cm in diameter were found washed ashore and discolored water was observed at the NW part of the lake. Probably, a sudden sudden discharge of fluid or a minor hydrothermal explosion was the cause.
A small eruption occurred from Yugama crater on 6 January 1989. It produced small amounts of volcanic ash on the frozen surface of the crater lake.
Kusatsu-Shirane volcano had 5 phreatic eruptions during 1982-83. Eruptions occurred on 26 October 1982, 29 December 1982, 26 July 1983, 13 November 1983, and on 10 December 1983. The water temperature at Yukama crater lake increased strongly and reached to 55.5 deg C after the first eruption, but did not increase further during the later eruptions.
(Source: GVP/monthly reports)
A phreatic eruption occurred at Mizugama Crater on 2 March 1976. A new crater 50 m in diameter and 10 m deep was formed in the NE part of Mizugama Crater.
The only event interrupting 34 years of quiet at Kusatsu-Shirane volcano between the eruptions in 1942 and 1976 was a small phreatic explosion in 1958.
An eruption occurred in 1942 and was unusual as it came from a different location than most activity at the volcano. A cluster of small craters was formed on the north flank of Mizugama Crater. A second group of craters formed on the south flank of Yugama Crater.
The largest historical eruption at Kusatsu-Shirane volcano was in 1932. It producing a 20 cm ash deposit reaching up to 2 km east of Yugama Crater.

New Asbestos Removal Method Discovered
Researchers in the United Kingdom are currently working on removing all of the left over asbestos in mines across the world. Not only would the method rapidly reduce the amount of asbestos, it would also reduce the amount of carbon in the air.
 Jenine McCutcheon, a geomicrobiologist at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, has been working alongside colleagues to create a method of turning the left over mined asbestos into carbonate rock. Using bacterial mats, McCutcheon is hoping that she can speed up the natural process of asbestos turning into carbonate rock.
 As this process is completely natural, McCutcheon states, "we are looking to accelerate this process and transition it from a pile of asbestos waste to a deposit of carbonate mineral which is completely harmless."
 As of now, these piles of mined asbestos fibers can absorb the carbon from carbon dioxide containing water and turn into harmless carbonate rock piles in around a year or so. However, without the help from humans, not all of the asbestos have a chance to completely become carbonate. In these asbestos piles, water must reach the asbestos for them to become carbonate. Large amounts of asbestos stay at the bottom of the piles, never coming into contact with rainwater and not becoming carbonate.
 McCutcheon has devised a system of using cyanobacteria to concentrate more carbon into these asbestos piles and ensuring all of them can become carbonate. According to McCutcheon, cyanobacteria "are really good at concentrating carbon from the atmosphere because unlike most bacteria, they photosynthesize and absorb carbon dioxide during that process. They collect it, they concentrate it, and when they die, they are decomposed by other bacteria, and that replenishes the supply of dissolved carbon in solution."
 With this method, mines across the world could be ridded of asbestos.

text: Microinjection molding has been drawing more and more attention due to its great advantages such as cost effectiveness and mass production capability. In this work, an experimental study was carried out in order to investigate the effect of the mold surface roughness on the achieved filled length of the molded microfeatures. For this purpose, an aluminum mold insert with microchannels having different surface roughness values was designed and fabricated using ultraprecision diamond machining and micromilling method. The experimental results revealed that increasing surface roughness of the microchannel wall led to a decrease in the filled length of the molded microfeatures. It was also found that with increased melt temperature or injection velocity, the effect of surface roughness was weakened by high-pressure trapped air inside the microchannels during injection process. Finally, the influence mechanism of the mold surface roughness was discussed.

This page explains how to import and export SLEUTH image data using ArcInfo Grid.
The world file contains cell size and geographic corner point information for a particular image. It is created when a grid is exported from ArcInfo using the command GRIDIMAGE and can be used import that image, or another image derived from the same, back into Arc using the command IMAGEGRID. It is related to an image by its file name. (e.g.; the world file output.tfw refers to the image file output.tif). The data contained in the world file is general to all grids with the same geographic extent and are therefore transferable between files. See the Arc Docs for more information on world files.
A grid of urban extent is transformed into a TIFF image as part of processing input data for SLEUTH.
Arc: gridimage urban_data # urban_data.tif TIFF
Two files will be generated from this command: urban_data.tif and urban_data.tfw. The first file is the new TIFF image. The second is the world file and contains geo-reference information.
Now let's say we have a SLEUTH output file that has the same extent as urban_data.tif and we'd like to bring it into a ArcInfo for analysis. SLEUTH uses GIF images as input and generates GIFs as output. Therefore the GIFs first need to be transformed into an ArcInfo friendly image format (such as TIFF) using an image editor software such as xv or Photoshop.
sleuth_output.gif -> sleuth_output.tif
Next the TIFF image can be brought into Arc using the IMAGEGRID command. In order for the image to be geo-registered after the import the a related world file must be in the same directory as the TIFF file being imported.
In a directory:
Arc: imagegrid sleuth_output.tif sleuth_output
Use PROJECTDEFINE to define the new grid's projection.

How Long Does a MacBook Air last – (And Why)?
Exact Answer: 5 years
The MacBook Air is a line of laptops developed and produced by Apple Inc. On January 15th, 2008, the MacBook Air series was introduced by Apple. It was promoted as the world's thinnest notebook, beating the record earlier put by the Toshiba Portege R200. It was also Apple's first laptop with an optional solid-state drive (SSD).
This was the first generation of MacBook Air laptops. Apple released the 2nd and 3rd generations of MacBook Air computers in October 2010 and October 2018, respectively. These second and third-generation laptops were each made to be more advanced than their predecessors.
How Long Does a MacBook Air last
MacBook Air Hardware PartLifespan
Hard Drive3-5 years
Processor3-5 years
Battery3-5 years
Screen3-5 years
Everyone has an individual perspective on how he or she defines a computer's lifespan. Once the latest model of a MacBook Air is acquired, it can remain productive for around five years. Apple laptops generally have a productive lifespan of three to five years, depending on how they are being used.
MacBook Air laptops, like any machine out there, are prone to mechanical or physical damage. This can affect them at any time, even at the store, before they are sold to users. This laptop series was designed to be the lightest and thinnest but not the toughest.
Most of MacBook Air users complain of the screen's hinges becoming a bit lose after about five years of use. This is due to the repeated movement around the hinges while flipping up and down the screen.
Some MacBook Air users are still using the first generation laptops launched back in 2008. Having a productive lifespan of 5 years does not mean that the computer becomes utterly useless after the five years are over. Even after the hinges grow loose, the MacBook Air still performs quite well.
Most problems that affect this laptop after five years of use are mechanical. It is rare to find a MacBook Air that has performance issues after five years of use. Mechanical problems are usually fixed by replacing the parts that have undergone wear or those that have seized to function altogether. Almost 70% of MacBook Air users use their laptops for more than five years.

How Long Does Caulk Take to Dry and Why?
Why Does MacBook Air Last That Long?
The following are some of the reasons the MacBook Air has an average lifespan of five years:
System updates
After around five years of use, Apple stops supporting the laptop with system updates. This doesn't mean that the computer is no longer functional. The operating system (OS) on the computer can still run correctly. The only disadvantage is that the user won't enjoy the new features introduced by the new Mac Operating system. Some users go ahead and buy the latest laptop models to enjoy the new OS features.
What is the laptop for?
Some users use their laptops for graphic designs, communication, or general office work. These users, especially those using their laptops for office work, are always on their laptops. A lot of work in the office is done using computers and laptops. Their laptops have to have a strong processing unit; otherwise, they will start overheating and subsequently having battery issues.
Features and capabilities
Every generation of the MacBook Air comes with certain features and capabilities. As indicated above, some laptops are used for more than they can handle. Some programs or applications, especially games that are run on the computer, require too much RAM usage or CPU usage. If the laptop runs an app, it can't handle well after some time it will crash. The user should understand the laptop's capabilities and run programs and applications it can handle.
Proper care and use
Physical or mechanical damage on the laptop can occur at any time. It is, therefore, the user's responsibility to ensure that the MacBook Air laptop is kept safe from the time of purchase.
There are many definitions of a laptop's lifespan, as stated previously. The standard lifespan that seems to be set by Apple for its laptops is around five years. This is a reasonable time putting in mind that laptops are machines that are used by many people on a day to day basis.
Proper maintenance and care is key to increasing the MacBook Air laptop's lifespan. Any MacBook that is properly maintained can last several years or decades.

My understanding that if you are addressing a bishop, the correct form is "Vladyko," while if you are referring to a bishop in the third person, the form is "Vladyka." Even if they sound the same in English, we should follow the spelling conventions. So the title of this article should be changed if the definition is to remain the same. --Fr Lev 05:42, September 19, 2014 (PDT)

As a first-time broiler chicken owner, I had a lot to learn about raising these birds for meat production. From selecting the right breed to managing their housing and feeding, it was a challenging but rewarding experience. In this blog post, I'll share my experience raising broiler chickens for the first time.
1. Choosing the Right Breed: The first step in raising broiler chickens is selecting the right breed. I researched different breeds and chose one that was known for fast growth and good meat quality. I also made sure to select a breed that was well-suited to my climate and environment. I asked friends and family who had experience with raising meat birds for advice as well!
2. Housing: I built a chicken tractor that was large enough to accommodate my chickens and provided good shelter to keep them happy and healthy. We moved the chicken tractor daily which allowed the chickens to have access to fresh grass and a clean run every day.
3. Feeding: Feeding my broiler chickens was a critical part of their growth and development. I provided them with a high-protein feed that was specifically formulated for meat production. I also provided them with clean water at all times, and made sure to clean their waterers regularly.
4. Managing Health: Keeping my broiler chickens healthy was a top priority. I monitored their behavior and appearance daily to ensure they were thriving.
5. Harvesting: After 8 weeks of growth, it was time to harvest my broiler chickens. I carefully followed the process of slaughtering, cleaning, and processing the birds to ensure that the meat was safe and high-quality.
Overall, raising broiler chickens for the first time was a challenging but rewarding experience. It required a lot of work and attention to detail, but seeing my birds grow and develop was incredibly satisfying. If you're considering raising broiler chickens, I recommend doing your research, investing in good housing and feeding, and being prepared for the hard work that comes with raising healthy and happy birds.

Measurement of temperature/time in welding processes
For documentation of welding parameters, power source calibration or defect analysis in arc welding, stud welding or resistance welding processes, the company HKS-Prozesstechnik has developed a system that enables the detection of numerous measured parameters such as current, voltage, gas flow and cooling time. High performance pyrometers from Micro-Epsilon are used to measure the cooling time. A double laser sighting system is used for alignment with the desired measuring point in order to view the exact spot position and to simplify adjustments. The recording of the cooling time t8/5 is performed between two adjustable limit values (usually 800°C / 500°C). As soon as the minimum value is not reached, the recording process stops and saves the cooling time and the temperature profile for further evaluation.

Near-infrared broadband cavity-enhanced sensor system for methane detection using a wavelet-denoising assisted Fourier-transform spectrometer
The majority of broadband cavity-enhanced systems are used to detect trace gas species in the visible spectral range. We demonstrated a broadband cavity-enhanced sensor system in combination with a Fourier-transform spectrometer (FTS) in the near-infrared (near-IR) region for methane (CH4) detection. Light from a tungsten–halogen lamp was coupled into a high-finesse cavity and the light leaking from the cavity was imaged onto the FTS. An optimal incident beam diameter of 2.25 cm was required in the condition of a 40 cm-long cavity of a 2.5 cm diameter and a 100 cm radius of curvature (RoC) mirror. The CH4 sensor system was capable of operating at a temperature of 300 K and 1 atm gas pressure. Based on an Allan variance analysis, a minimum detectable absorption coefficient of 4.6 × 10−7 cm−1 was achieved. A wavelet denoising (WD) method was introduced in the retrieval of the gas concentration, which improved the measurement precision from 10.2 parts-per-million in volume (ppmv) to 5.3 ppmv with an enhancement factor of 2 for a 20 min averaging time. The near-IR broadband cavity-enhanced sensor system can also be used to measure high-resolution absorption spectra of other atmospheric trace gas species.

The stone was outlawed in Ireland and the United Kingdom, in 1983 and 1985 respectively. However stones and pounds remains the sole unit that all people measure their weight in. The unit flourishes in all non official uses: media, sports &c. Often in American-British boxing matches, the contenders weight is stated in pounds then stones and pounds. The same in horse racing

}=S_y \tag{11}$$
Similar to the result obtained for the von Mises stress, this defines a criterion based on the octahedral stress. Consequently, if the octahedral stress is greater than the simple stress yield limit, then yield is expected to occur.
The von Mises stress can, for example, be applied in fields such as drilling of hydrocarbon reservoirs, where pipes are expected to be under high pressure and combined loading conditions. In this case, the von Mises stress can be written as\(^5\):
$$ \sqrt{\frac{(\tau_z-\tau_t)^2 + (\tau_t-\tau_r)^2 + (\tau_r-\tau_z)^2}{2}}=\tau_v \tag{12}$$
Where \(z\), \(r\), and \(t\) are the axial, radial and tangential stresses. The criterion is the same as before, that is, if the von Mises stress obtained from the above expression is equal or greater than the simple tension yield stress of the material, then yielding is expected to occur.
Tresca Yield Criterion
The Tresca yield criterion is another example of a common criterion used for determining the maximum stress of material before yielding. Calculating yielding with Tresca's method always results in a lower result compared to the von Mises method. It is commonly known as a more conservative estimate on failure within the science community. Also, it is known as the maximum shearing stress yield criterion\(^4\). The most general expression for the maximum shearing stress is:
$$ [(\tau_1-\tau_2)^2-(S_y)^2][(\tau_2-\tau_3)^2-(S_y)^2][(\tau_3-\tau_1)^2-(S_y)^2]=0 \tag{13}$$
This criterion can be simplified when the ordering of the magnitude of the stress components are known. The above expression then reduces to:
$$ (\tau_1-\tau_3)^2-(S_y)^2=0 \tag{14}$$
The Tresca yield criterion is piecewise linear, while the von Mises yield criterion is non-linear. However, the Tresca yield surface can involve singularities. The differences in predictions between the two conditions are considerably small.
Von Mises Stress on SimScale
There are many fields that benefit from the von Mises yield criterion. There are SimScale public projects that can help to get a more practical grasp of the von Mises stress theory. For example, the picture below shows a study of the von Mises stress on a mounting plate subjected to a certain load.
FEA simulation of von mises stress on a mounting plate
Figure 3: von Mises stress on a simulated mounting plate under load showing regions of high and low stresses.
The picture below is taken from a step-by-step tutorial that shows a structural and plasticity analysis for the burst of a gas tank and is an interesting resource for beginners.

Figure 4: Contours of von Mises stresses have lower values on the handle and the base but high elsewhere because of the gas inside.

Where Can CVS Expand New Stores?
Stephen Kita
Posted on Aug 3, 2020
For this project, CVS location and US population data were analyzed to suggest where CVS should consider opening new stores.
CVS pharmacy is the largest pharmacies in the United Sates, with almost 10,000 locations as of August, 2020. Last year they reported $256B in revenue, and were listed as #5 on the Fortune 500 list.
According to CVS's SEC filing, their major sources of income are pharmacy and in-store sales. In addition, the majority of the pharmacy sales are within network, as opposed to online or mail-order. Therefore, the vast majority of revenue for CVS comes from people physically walking into the store.
If CVS wants to continue growing, the easiest way seems to be opening new stores. However, CVS is challenged to open new stores, because they already operate in so many locations. Therefore, CVS should target areas with higher demand when opening stores.
Data Collection
In this project, the location and count of every CVS store in the United States were scraped from the CVS website1. Store location data was collect and processed with the Python BeautifulSoup package.
Population data was downloaded from the US Census website, and population estimates for 2019 we used for all states (including District of Columbia and Puerto Rico) and for all cities > 50,000 residents.
These two datasets were combined using Python Pandas to generate a data frame of CVS location by state and city population:
Data Analysis
This data was graphed using Python Matplotlib to show the number of stores per capita. A linear trendline was calculated, and the slope was approximately 1 CVS store per 33,000 people. This trend was the same for both cities and states.
These states/cities can be grouped by whether they fall above or below the trendline (average number of stores per capita). The regions in green are where there are more than 33,000 stores per person, and the regions in red are where there are less.
Using this framework, we can assume that locations with below average CVS counts have a higher demand for new CVS stores. We can also rank the highest and lowest locations based on demand by population:
We can see that states like Washington and Colorado have a higher demand while states like Florida and Massachusetts have a lower demand. This could be do to the difference in ages between the states. Florida and Massachusetts have older populations, who would need more prescriptions than younger populations.
Looking at the cities, New York City and Los Angeles have a higher demand while Miami and Washington DC have a lower demand. This could be due to the high cost of real estate in NYC and LA, where the operating costs might hurt the profitability of a store.
We can cross-reference the city and state information to form a strategy about where CVS should expand.
If a state has a high demand for CVS and also has cities with a high demand, then CVS should make a larger presence in those cities. However, if a state has a high demand for CVS, but low demand in cities, then CVS should try expanding to new cities in that state.
In conclusion, if CVS wants to continue adding new stores, they could focus on expanding their presence in these cities where demand is high:
 - Seattle, WA
 - Denver, CO
 - Portland, OR
 - San Juan, PR
Alternatively, they could add stores in these states where demand is high by expanding to new towns:
 - Wisconsin
 - Arkansas
 - Utah
 - Iowa
Future Work
This analysis could be expanded by adding more demographic data, such as age and income levels, to better predict where a store would be profitable. In addition, competitor data from walgreens, walmart, rite aid, etc. could be scraped from the web to look for areas with less competition.
1 Data was scraped from the CVS Store Locator online. The CVS robots.txt file was reviewed beforehand and the store locator pages were allowed.

No, it can not destroy a Wall of Force.
The description of Wall of Force states (emphasis mine):
Nothing can physically pass through the wall.
The term nothing implies that even a hole in the multiverse cannot pass through it. The Sphere of Annihilation:
[...] obliterates all matter it passes through and all matter that passes through it.
But a Wall of Force seems not to be made of matter at all, but by force (whatever it means, see for example the discussion here about force damage). The quoted part from the spell description provides the sole way to disintegrate the wall, i.e. using a Disintegrate spell. Moreover:
Anything else that touches the sphere but isn't wholly engulfed and obliterated by it takes 4d10 force damage.
Hence, the sphere can not destroy it but it would deal 4d10 force damage – but the Wall of Force is immune to all damage, and hence it does not take such damage even if the sphere touches it.
A DM can rule otherwise, reasonably.
A Sphere of Annihilation is a legendary item which may also affect artifacts, while Wall of Force is a 5th-level spell: a DM may state that a legendary item is so powerful that overcomes spells of such level and maybe of higher levels.
What if a Wall of Force is cast in the Sphere's space?
There is another issue about the interaction between the Wall of Force and the Sphere of Annihilation: what happens when the wall created by the spell appears in the sphere's space? The description of the spell mentions the case of creatures only:
If the wall cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice which side).
It is not clear what happens in case of objects (see for example this Q&A How does Wall of Force interact with objects?). The DM has to make a ruling here:
- The sphere follows the rule for creatures, and hence is pushed on one side of the wall.
- The sphere is stuck in the wall. In this case another DM call is needed: they have to decide if the sphere can be moved again and what happens to the hole left in the Wall of Force, or if it is not possible to move it.
As a DM, in this particular case I would apply the first ruling, mainly to ease the game, since even if the sphere is on the other side of the Wall with respect to a creature, they can still control it, because the only requirement is to be within 60ft of the sphere.


text: An important risk that children face today is online grooming, where a so-called sexual predator establishes an emotional connection with a minor online with the objective of sexual abuse. Prior work has sought to automatically identify grooming chats, but only after an incidence has already happened in the context of legal prosecution. In this work, we instead investigate this problem from the point of view of prevention. We define and study the task of early sexual predator detection (eSPD) in chats, where the goal is to analyze a running chat from its beginning and predict grooming attempts as early and as accurately as possible. We survey existing datasets and their limitations regarding eSPD, and create a new dataset called PANC for more realistic evaluations. We present strong baselines built on BERT that also reach state-of-the-art results for conventional SPD. Finally, we consider coping with limited computational resources, as real-life applications require eSPD on mobile devices.

The volume rendering has become an important technique in many applications along with hardware development. Understanding and perception of volume visualization benefit from visual cues which are available from shading. Better visual cues can be obtained from global illumination models but it's huge amount of computation and extra GPU memory need cause a lack of interactivity. In this paper, in order to improve visual cues on volume rendering, we propose an image space occlusion shading model which requires no additional resources.

While it's not illegal to pack a laptop in your checked baggage, the Transportation Security Administration advises against doing so. Your sensitive electronic devices weren't made to withstand the abuse that checked bags often endure. This means that if you plan to fly with a laptop, you should carry it on the plane with you – and there are a few simple rules for doing so.
Items you will need
 - Checkpoint-friendly bag
Step 1
Use a "checkpoint-friendly" laptop bag to make the screening process easier when you go through security checkpoints. These bags allow X-ray machines to get an unobstructed look at your laptop so you don't have to remove the device from the bag. Checkpoint-friendly bags include laptop sleeves and butterflyor trifold-style bags that have a laptop-only section that can lie flat on the scanning belt.
Step 2
Check that your checkpoint-friendly laptop bag doesn't have metal buckles, zippers or snaps on top of, underneath or inside the bag's laptop-only section; and don't put anything else in the laptop compartment beside your laptop. For a clear view on the X-ray machine, the laptop needs to be visible without any obstructions.
Step 3
Place power cords, zip drives and other laptop accessories in a separate compartment or in another bag. The laptop must get scanned separately from its other components.
Step 4
Prepare to take your laptop out of your bag if you don't have a checkpoint-friendly bag. It's perfectly fine to use a bag with straps and zippers that block the laptop; but, if this is the case, you'll have to place your laptop on the scanning belt separately. If you're using a bag that isn't checkpoint-friendly, make sure your laptop is easily accessible so you can remove it from the bag when the time comes.
 - Fully charge your laptop before you pack it for flight to get the most out of your battery once you're on board.
 - Don't store your laptop in an overhead bin when flying — it could sustain damage during turbulence. Instead, place your laptop under the seat in front of you to keep it safe.

20th anniversary of the death of Cardinal Ó Fiaich
May 4, 2010
by Brónagh Murphy
This week marks the 20th anniversary of Cardinal Tomás Ó Fiaich who died suddenly on May 8th 1990 while on pilgrimage in Lourdes.
The sudden and unexpected death of the Catholic Primate, at the age of 66, shocked and saddened people throughout the country, but his passing was particularly felt in his native south Armagh.
Pilgrims from the area who had accompanied the Cardinal to Lourdes on that fateful pilgrimage, formed guards of honour as he lay in state in France. On his repatriation, hundreds lined the streets from Dublin to Armagh to pay their respects while others queued for miles to visit his remains as he lay in state in Armagh Cathedral.
A native of Cullyhanna, the Cardinal was revered as a champion for Irish people. He was a keen academic and noted Irish scholar, folklorist and historian, well known for his vociferous criticism of the British policy in the north. During the Long Kesh Hunger Strikes of 1980 and '81, Ó Fiaich was an influential supporter of the Hunger Strikers and showed deep concern for the treatment of political prisoners.

One of the most exciting improvements in Windows 8.1 Preview is opening the floodgates for device access. While Windows 8 supported certain device scenarios like print, sensors, and geolocation, access to arbitrary devices was limited to dedicated device apps. This changes dramatically in Windows 8.1 Preview. We support several new and innovative APIs like Point of Sale (POS), 3D printing, and scanning, and—through device protocol APIs–open up access to a huge landscape of other devices.
Device protocol APIs, new to Windows 8.1, allow a Windows Store app to talk to a device over industry standard protocols like USB, HID, Bluetooth, Bluetooth Smart, and Wi-Fi Direct. As a developer, all you need to do is simply identify the device (leveraging metadata) and then open a communication channel to the device. Opening a channel prompts for user consent. This is a critical step to help prevent apps from accidentally or maliciously communicating with one or more devices without the user's awareness. Once access is granted, the app can communicate with a device, including starting long data transfers, which can continue even if the user swipes to another app.
Enabling new scenarios
Access to devices via device protocol APIs enables multiple new scenarios in Windows 8.1 Preview:
- IHV Device Access: Hardware vendors can create apps to accompany their innovative devices (without the need for custom drivers).
- Ecosystem of Apps: Manufacturers can create a standard for communicating with their hardware device. This empowers an ecosystem of software developers to create novel apps that can all communicate with that device.
- Enthusiast Community: Home developers can create their own apps to communicate with non-standard devices. For example, a high school student could build an app for a science project so that hardware could be controlled from a Surface running Windows 8.1 Preview.
Resources for building apps that connect to devices
At Build, my colleague Deen and I gave a talk on how to develop apps that work with our ecosystem of Windows devices. The talk details how to author, test, and deploy great Windows Store apps that expose the unique functionality of devices.
There's a lot more on communicating between apps and specific devices and buses in the talks listed below:
- Using Geolocation and Geofencing in Windows Store pps [3-9034]
- 3D Printing with Windows [3-9027]
- Building Windows Apps That Use Scanners [3-025]
- How to Use Point-of-Sale Devices in Your App [3-029]
- Apps for Bluetooth, HID, and USB Devices (focusing on Bluetooth RFCOMM) [3-026]
- Apps for Bluetooth Smart Devices [3-9028]
- Apps for USB Devices [3-924a]
- Apps for HID Devices [2-924b]
Windows 8.1 Preview provides rich support for apps to communicate with devices. By integrating standard devices (e.g. printers, sensors) or even custom devices seamlessly into your apps, users can enjoy a fast and fluid way of interacting with their favorite devices.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 Deadline Approaching: Single Sign-On and Authentication Management Solutions Can Help Agencies Effectively Meet Mandate
Imprivata Solutions Facilitate a Single, Comprehensive Access Policy that Determines Network Access Based on User's Credentials
LEXINGTON, MA-July 6, 2011-Imprivata, Inc., the #1 single sign-on (SSO) and authentication management company for healthcare and other regulated industries, is helping agencies meet the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) mandate deadline by aiding in the implementation of a single, comprehensive access policy that allows or denies network access based on a user's physical location, role, and/or employee status. By implementing Imprivata's Authentication Management solution along with its OneSign® Physical/Logical solution, IT headaches are reduced because the complexity and cost of managing multiple strong authentication methods across local and remote desktops and applications is eliminated, providing a single authentication management solution.
In 2004, the Bush Administration rolled out the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 to defend the United States from further terrorist attacks, espionage and cyber threats. HSPD-12 requires agencies to implement a biometric-based credential system by issuing smart cards to federal employees and contractors by October, 2011. By mandating a federal standard to guarantee the correct identification for each employee, agencies are able to increase security and efficiency, reduce identity fraud, cut costs and protect personal privacy.
The HSPD-12 mandate also sets requirements for agencies to ensure its facilities and IT systems are ready to accept Personal Identify Verification (PIV) cards. To qualify for PIV credentials, federal employees must have their fingerprints scanned and undergo background checks. The users' personal identifying information is contained in the PIV cards and scanned on a card reader before entering federal facilities. Imprivata's access management technology locks into a building's security system, creating a tie between the PIV card and federal IT networks. This enables a new layer of security that prevents unauthorized access at the physical and network entry positions. Additionally, with Imprivata SSO technology, these organizations can also simplify the login process, allowing users to access all their approved applications with just their card.
"Risks associated with lenient security, including the legal ramifications of failure to protect confidential information is grabbing the attention of government agencies at all levels. Security mandates including the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 impose strict demands on the security practices at government organizations and are now requiring agencies to increase security without compromising employee productivity, " said Richard Bowers, Director, Public Sector Sales, of Imprivata. "Because of federal requirements, Imprivata has continued to experience strong demand for its public sector single sign-on and strong authentication management solutions. "
With Imprivata OneSign Authentication Management and OneSign Physical/Logical solutions, companies can economically deploy comprehensive, scalable, and high-performance authentication management to meet the HSPD-12 requisites in time for the October 31st deadline.

From Ohio History Central
Cass Gilbert was a well-known American Architect in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Gilbert was born in Zanesville, Ohio, on November 24, 1859. His father died in 1868, and Gilbert found a job working as a surveyor in a local architect's office. It was there that he gained an interest in architecture. He studied for a year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before traveling to Europe to obtain additional training.
Gilbert began to make a name for himself as an architect after designing Minnesota's new state capitol building in 1896. His design was chosen for a new United States Customs building in New York City, and he designed the Woolworth Building as well. In 1908, Gilbert was elected president of the American Institute of Architects. Later in his career, he was chosen to be president of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, an honorary member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and a member of the French Legion of Honor. He also served on the National Commission of Fine Arts. Gilbert's best-known design was the United States Supreme Court building in Washington, DC.
Cass Gilbert died in England in 1934.

We need to create a Visio 2010 stencil in code, using the.NET Freamework and C#.
The idea is like this:
We have our app, that is used by the app user, and then we have the workflow designer, which user Visio which is installed on another machine.
So we have two different people and two different machines. Lets say that, for this discussion, the application is an organizational structure app, that its object model comprises of various types, including User, Group, Developer, Administrator etc..
I want to add functionality to the app that would allow the app user to take these types and create a stencil from it, saved in a.vss file which is the format Visio uses for stencils. Then, the Visio user can take this vss file and add it to the document he's working on. The idea behind all this is that the app user can add user types any time, say 'Power User', which makes all this process dynamic.
Now, the machine where the application is installed doesn't have Visio installed, which might be important, i guess, in terms of what assemblies related to visio programming can be referenced from the app.
Can this be achived?
share|improve this question
What is the source of the geometry or image used in the shapes? Does the App User specify this or is it defined somewhere else? If it is defined somewhere else what format is it in? – Pat Leahy Jun 2 '11 at 4:40

If you want to create a Visio stencil on a machine where you can't use the Visio API (i.e. where Visio is not installed or in a server scenario) you can create a Visio XML file. If you use the file extension VSX then Visio will treat it as a stencil. Creating shapes in a Visio XML file may be much more complicated than creating shapes using the API because you will have manage many things yourself which Visio normally takes care of such as collection IDs, formula evaluation, connection creation, etc.
This approach assumes the definition of the geometry or image to use the shapes is predefined and accessible from your stencil generation code. If the user creating the stencil needs to specify the geometry then you may need to integrate some drawing tool. Visio may be that tool or you could investigate other drawing tools which can create a file which Visio can read, e.g. SVG.

Corals generally need high maintenance to survive. However, plate corals require low maintenance compared to all the others.
If our plate corals are looking ill, we need to find out what's causing them to look like that. Finding the main cause is the actual challenge here.
How can you save your plate corals from dying?
There are 4 major issues that we need to keep in check if our plate corals start looking ill. They are water parameters, lighting, water quality, and pests.
Suppose these factors aren't in alignment with the corals' environment. Your plate corals could die.
You must be intrigued to know how to keep these 4 factors in check. Then, read along!
Consider the Type Of Plate Corals
Before we dive right into investigating the possible cause, let me tell you something!
Plate corals themselves have lots of varieties. Among such variations, the most generalized ones are the long and short tentacled ones.
Long tentacled ones tend to be more sensitive than short ones. They are also difficult to revive once they start getting adverse.
And, it's unlikely that they'll sprout offspring from their skeleton after they're dead.
Now, let's dig into why our plate corals are not doing so well.
4 Important Factors That Can Stop Plate Corals Dying
Plate corals comparatively require low maintenance. But there are certain ways you can take care of them routinely. This "routined care" will help prevent misfortunate situations.
Plate corals, also known as fungia are pretty sensitive to 4 factors in the aquarium. The factors in order of importance are water parameters, lighting, water quality, and pests.
What to do if we see our fungia shedding some tissues?
We should immediately check these factors. They fluctuate a lot. Once the factors are set within their respective correct range, leave the fungia. We can expect them to revive completely with time.
But what if the coral eventually dies? Don't take it out of the tank. Here's why:
The skeletons sometimes sprout to give their offspring. So we better give the skeleton a chance to leave its babies.
Now, without further adieu, let's dive into the main topic!
Factor 1 of 4: Water Parameters
The most important factor is salinity. If the salinity is off, pretty much all other factors are off. 1.023-1.025 is the best level of salinity.
The next important parameter to check is alkalinity. We must reduce the alkalinity or increase it when needed. Try to keep it within 9-11. There are many kits available to check for alkalinity.
You can also use them to set the alkalinity right.
Next, check the magnesium level. 1350-1400ppm works great for most aquariums.
Get a test kit to check the level. Add supplementary magnesium if it goes too below the minimum range.
However, magnesium levels naturally return to normal if it remains within 2000ppm. So, we don't need to worry much about the high level of it.
If it exceeds the 2000ppm mark, we need to look for ways to lower the magnesium level.
Lastly, we need to check the calcium level in the water. It should be within 395-415. Choose only from the best calcium kits to get the best result.
Accumulate the result for the last 3 factors. Then check the BRS calculator to determine the right level they should be kept in our tank. Then we can set them right accordingly with supplements.
Factor 2 of 4: Lighting
Too much light can be bad for plate corals. It can cause them to stress quickly, leading to their death within a few days.
On the other hand, too little light can gradually push them toward fatality. Within a few weeks, they would start to look ill. And within a few months, they'd be dead.
Plate corals turn brown, and their tentacles seem to reach upwards or towards the light source if it is not enough.
They tend to shrink and lose their tissues when they get too much light.
How can we fix this?
We should get a PAR meter that would help us handle the lighting with more accuracy. Hence, we should only get the best t5 bulbs to ensure a healthy life for corals.
We also need to change the placement of the coral. We could place it closer or farther depending on its needs.
Either way, it must be placed at the bottom of the tank. Make sure to leave it that way and not move it again.
Factor 3 of 4: Water Quality
Water quality may deteriorate due to low maintenance or the unintentional addition of contaminants.
These may come from lotions, soaps or oils, or any such residues in our hands. It can also come from aerosols or other such chemicals near the tank.
These things can mess up the pH level of the water.
But how do we identify our water's quality?
We need to look at the nitrate and phosphate levels using relevant test kits. There are many good phosphate test kits on the market.
However, you might want to think before getting a nitrate one.
If the water quality isn't up to par, change out the carbon filter. Our advice is to use a power filter this time. Wait for a day or two to see if things improve.
If things don't improve, get rid of the fancy mediums. Replace them with old-fashioned water changers. Get those water pollutants out ASAP.
Do 30-40% water changes at a few days' intervals and turn over most of the water in the tank.
Increase the percentage of water changes to 50-90% if things seem to deteriorate way too rapidly.
Factor 4 of 4: Pest or Fungal Infections
Even if fixing the water quality solves the problem we should do this step.
For that, we need to check for pests or other unwanted elements. This can be done by dipping the coral in iodine-based dips.
Next, we must look closely at the excretion (if any) from the fungia in the dip. If you find any, then you just saved your coral's life!
Question: Are plate corals hard to keep?
Answer: Plate corals require the least maintenance out of all corals—especially the short tentacled ones.
However, they must be handled regularly with proper care to prevent plate coral from dying.
Question: Do plate corals move?
Answer: Yes, they can move around or flip themselves upside down. If this happens, then you better get them out. This can cause the plate coral to die with time.
Question: Where do I put my coral plate?
Answer: Fungia's most suitable place inside a reef tank is at the bottom of it. Place them on an even grounded sand at the proper distance from other corals.
Check from time to time that it gets adequate light. Also, check that it doesn't bury itself in the sand. These would prevent the plate coral from dying.
Are you enlightened enough by this article? Then you better hurry and save your Fungia.
Don't lose hope too soon. Fungia often comes back to life after they seem dead.


The Oberth class was a class of multi-role Federation starships from the 23rd to late 24th centuries, named for German rocket pioneer Hermann Oberth. (Star Trek Encyclopdia)
Ships of this class were frequently confused for the smaller Gagarin-class ships that were its predecessors. (Gagarin-Class Research Vessel)
Glenn-class and Garneau-class ships may be the name of the Gagarin-class in alternate continuities. In the Orion Press continuity, there was a subclass of the Oberths known as the Mercury VII series.
This class of starship was very versatile, used by both Starfleet and civilian crews, for scouting missions, scientific surveys and transporting crew and civilians. The standard crew complement was 71. Armaments consisted of 2 Type 8 phaser turrets and one aft-firing photon torpedo tube. (Strategic Design: Oberth Class NX-602 Starship Prototype: External Blueprints and Internal Deck Plans)
With the advent of newer designs such as the Nova-class and Korolev-class vessels the Oberth began to be replaced. As vessel went for refit Starfleet retires them and in some cases donating them to civilian science organizations. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 1: The Ships of Starfleet)

80 years ago, Ragnar Josephson Professor of Art History at Lund University, started the Archives for Decorative Art, which was later named Skissernas Museum. We are celebrating this by an open invitation to an afternoon filled with dialogue, music, and performance around creativity, process and art within the public space. On the first floor, the Museum's activities over the years will be presented by an exhibition, on how the archives and collections have expanded and developed through the years. Furthermore, catalogues, books, posters and postcards will be sold at special jubilee rates!
15.30 – 17.00
Concert given by the winners of the seventh Nordic Piano Competition, which was held at Malmö Music Academy under the leadership of Marianne Jacobs.
The Museum of Sketches was founded in 1934 by Ragnar Josephson (_PHONE_), during his time as Professor of Art History at the University of Lund (Sweden). The intention was to establish an archive of the creative process, or the path of the artist from the first idea to the finished work. The aim was to collect sketches, models and photographs to Public Art – as the study material relating to it was especially suited, by the frequent demand on abundant preliminary sketches.

Supplies you will need:
-3.5mm male microphone jack (same plug as a stereo headphone jack)
-some shielded cable (3 total contacts - typically 2 jacketed conductors plus the shield). You can use standard headphone cable. At least 6 feet is a good idea so the cable can easily make it from the engine bay to the passenger compartment.
-a 3 pin bosch/amp style female connector.
-about 2 feet of standard single conductor wire, 18-20 gauge.
-a ring terminal
to use the tool you will need:
-a laptop pc with a microphone in jack
-a car with a standard 3 pin knock sensor
-(optional) 'race' style headphones with built in speakers and a stereo jack
The wiring should be done as follows. Use a multimeter to figure out which wire corresponds to the section on the mic plug:
-tip of the mic plug goes to pin 1 of the 3 pin connector
-middle band of the mic plug goes to pin 2 of the 3 pin connector
-base of the mic plug should go to two places: pin 3 of the 3 pin connector and a cable that terminates with a ring terminal that should be secured to an engine bay ground, typically the valve cover or intake manifold.
the cable should look something like this:
example of the headphones I use:
You can record the audio from the knock sensor by using something like windows sound recorder with all the wiring hooked up. The result should sound like this sample.

Resistivity Modeling as a Formation Evaluation Tool
This chapter describes a process of 1-D and 2-D resistivity modeling as a tool for formation evaluation. A modeling flow chart was developed based on applying resistivity modeling for formation evaluation in numerous wells. The chapter ends with a list of considerations when evaluating resistivity-modeling software packages.
Resistivity-tool-response modeling as a formation-evaluation tool is about inversion, and geophysical data inversion yields a non-unique formation-resistivity profile. Hence, the inverse modeling process must begin with good quality data and solid integration of geological and geophysical constraints derived from various measurements to achieve a rational result with minimum uncertainty.

3 Routine Costs Associated with Running a GP Surgery
Running a GP surgery is an important and vital role within the community. Because there are so many people that depend on your GP surgery, you need to ensure that you are running things properly from a financial perspective so that you can continue to give people the quality healthcare that they need on a regular basis.
GP surgery
If you are in the process of creating a budget for a new GP surgery, or even if you are currently evaluating the budget of your existing surgery, there are a number of routine costs that you are going to need to factor in and bear in mind.
Here are three such costs for you to consider as you create your budget.
1. Disposable Medical Supplies
Every medical facility now more than ever before is making use of disposable supplies like aprons, masks, gloves, and other PPE (personal protection equipment). While those within the medical community are no strangers to using PPE on a regular basis, the current situation that has unfolded over the last year has made it absolutely necessary to use such disposable equipment even more frequently than before.
Moreover, patients and visitors to your GP surgery are also required to use PPE as well as hand sanitizer. This has made it necessary for GP surgeries to factor such things into their own budget. Make sure that you have the cost of these and all of your other disposable GP Surgery Supplies factored into your monthly budget.
2. Equipment Maintenance
Aside from disposable medical equipment, your GP surgery is going to have plenty of other medical equipment on hand. Things like blood pressure cuffs, examination couches and beds, and diagnostic kits that include otoscopes need to be maintained properly so that they can be relied upon to work whenever they are required.
Since these items play such an integral role in the day-to-day operations of your surgery, you need to replace them whenever they fall into disrepair and take measure to maintain them so as to extend their lifetime. It is important to remember, though, that sooner or later, such things will need to be replaced entirely, and your budget needs to reflect that.
3. IT
When you think of a GP surgery, your mind might not initially jump to IT. However, all medical practices these days must use their fair share of technology in order to keep their practice running smoothly. Such software as can help to schedule appointments, keep medical records current, and act as cybersecurity to keep such records safe and secure.
Many GPs are also turning to online consultation forms in order to help alleviate the workload on the surgery itself. Such online forms can help patients get the advice and guidance they need without necessarily having to see the doctor. Such technology can go a long way to helping to improve the operations of your practice but bear in mind that they do come at a cost.

Safe and short seismic evacuation route is an basic guarantee for improving the level of urban resilience governance in the new era. Earthquake evacuation routes during disasters could reduce urban casualties and provide options of emergency evacuation for urban residents. Dongchuan District in Kunming, a small mountainous city, is affected by the Xiaojiang earthquake fault zone, resulting in frequent earthquake disasters, and the urban earthquake fortification intensity is as high as 9 degrees. In this paper, the influencing factors of post-disaster seismic evacuation routes in Dongchuan urban area were systematically analyzed, and the traffic capacity of evacuation routes were evaluated. The relationship between population concentration point and seismic shelter for evacuation was established based on ArcGIS. Then, the selection of multiple seismic evacuation routes was studied with the genetic algorithm. The results showed that many rural internal roads around the city and old urban roads in Dongchuan urban area do not meet the post-earthquake evacuation requirements. There are some service blind spots in the seismic shelters for evacuation, and some communities are lack of evacuation routes to connect with the seismic shelter for evacuation. Some selected paths which meet the evacuation requirements will take a long time. In case of disaster, the shortest path shall be given priority.

The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution
- Available for pre-order on April 14, 2023. Item will ship after May 5, 2023
Prices & shipping based on shipping country
For over 300 years, murderers in the United States and Canada could avoid prosecution by successfully disposing of the body of their victim. No-Body Homicides: The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution examines how police and prosecutors have become more successful in obtaining convictions for homicide when the remains of the victim are unavailable as evidence. Based on an examination of over 600 cases in the United States and Canada, this book shows the length some killers will go to avoid punishment and the determination of police and prosecutors to bring them to justice.
No-Body Homicides provides the reader with a historical overview of prosecutions in which a killer destroyed or hid the body of the victim. It explains why prosecutions were once extremely rare, and how legal, attitudinal, and technical changes have made them more common. The book also explores how the logic of no-body homicide prosecutions differs from body-present homicides. It allows police and prosecutors to draw on the accumulated experience of hundreds of prosecutions. For criminology students, it provides fascinating insights into the process of investigating and prosecuting homicides – as well as a glimpse into the motivations and practices of killers who are so determined to avoid punishment that they remove the bodies of their victims.
No-Body Homicides will be of practical interest to police or prosecutors confronted with a missing persons case that could be sinister. It is also written to be appropriate as a supplementary text in an undergraduate criminology class or for an aficionado of "True Crime."
