Pfc -- a package for
forward chaining in Prolog
Tim Finin
Prolog, like most logic programming languages, offers backward chaining as the only reasoning scheme. It is well known that sound and complete reasoning systems can be built using either exclusive backward chaining or exclusive forward chaining. Thus, this is not a theoretical problem. It is also well understood how to ''implement'' forward reasoning using an exclusively backward chaining system and vice versa. Thus, this need not be a practical problem. In fact, many of the logic-based languages developed for AI applications allow one to build systems with both forward and backward chaining rules.
There are, however, some interesting and important issues which need to be addresses in order to provide the Prolog programmer with a practical, efficient, and well integrated facility for forward chaining. This notet describes such a facility, Pfc, which we have implemented in standard Prolog.
A somewhat more complete users manual is available, as is some information on how to get the software and how to use it at UMBC. If you want to cite it, you can use
Finin, Tim, Rich Fritzson and Dave Matuszek, ''Adding Forward Chaining and Truth Maintenance to Prolog'', IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications, (pp. 123 - 130), Miami, March 1989.
The basic idea
The Pfc system is a package that provides a forward reasoning capability to be used together with conventional Prolog programs. The Pfc inference rules are Prolog terms which are asserted as facts into the regular Prolog database. For example, here is a file of Pfc rules and facts which are appropriate for the ubiquitous kinship domain.
spouse(X,Y) <=> spouse(Y,X).
spouse(X,Y),gender(X,G1), {otherGender(G1,G2)}
 => gender(Y,G2).
gender(P,male) <=> male(P).
gender(P,female) <=> female(P).
parent(X,Y),female(X) <=> mother(X,Y).
parent(X,Y),parent(Y,Z) => grandparent(X,Z).
grandparent(X,Y),male(X) <=> grandfather(X,Y).
grandparent(X,Y),female(X) <=> grandmother(X,Y).
parent(X,Y),male(X) <=> father(X,Y).
The Pfc package allows one to define forward chaining rules and to add ordinary Prolog assertions into the database in such a way as to trigger any of the Pfc rules that are satisfied. An example of a simple Pfc rule is:
gender(P,male) => male(P)
This rule states that whenever the fact unifying with gender(P,male) is added to the database, then the fact male(P) is true. If this fact is not already in the database, it will be added. In any case, a record will be made that the validity of the fact male(P) depends, in part, on the validity of this forward chaining rule and the fact which triggered it. To make the example concrete, if we add gender(john,male), then the fact male(john) will be added to the database unless it was already there.
In order to make this work, it is necessary to use the predicate add/1 rather than assert/1 in order to assert Pfc rules and any facts which might appear in the lhs of a Pfc rule.
Backward-Chaining Pfc Rules
Pfc includes a special kind of backward chaining rule which is used to generate all possible solutions to a goal that is sought in the process of forward chaining. Suppose we wished to define the ancestor relationship as a Pfc rule. This could be done as:
parent(P1,P2) => ancestor(P1,P2).
parent(P1,P2), ancestor(P2,P3) => ancestor(P1,P3).
However, adding these rules will generate a large number of assertions, most of which will never be needed. An alternative is to define the ancestor relationship by way of backward chaining rules which are invoked whenever a particular ancestor relationship is needed. In Pfc, this need arises whenever facts matching the relationship are sought while trying a forward chaining rule.
ancestor(P1,P2) <= {\+var(P1)}, parent(P1,X), ancestor(X,P2).
ancestor(P1,P2) <= {var(P1),\+var(P2)}, parent(X,P2), ancestor(P2,X).
We sometimes want to draw an inference from the absence of some knowledge. For example, we might wish to encode the default rule that a person is assumed to be male unless we have evidence to the contrary:
person(P), ~female(P) => male(P).
A lhs term preceded by a \sim is satisfied only if no fact in the database unifies with it. Again, the Pfc system records a justification for the conclusion which, in this case, states that it depends on the absence of the contradictory evidence. The behavior of this rule is demonstrated in the following dialogue:
?- add(person(P), ~female(P) => male(P)).
?- add(person(alex)).
?- male(alex).
?- add(female(alex)).
?- male(alex)
Procedural Interpretation
Note that the procedural interpretation of a Pfc rule is that the conditions in the lhs are checked from left to right. One advantage to this is that the programmer can chose an order to the conditions in a rule to minimize the number of partial instantiations.
Another advantage is that it allows us to write rules like the following:
 => {remove(at(Obj,Loc1))}.
Although the declarative reading of this rule can be questioned, its procedural interpretation is clear and useful:
If an object is known to be at location Loc1 and an assertion is added that it is at some location Loc2, distinct from Loc1, then the assertion that it is at Loc1 should be removed.
The Right Hand Side
The examples seen so far have shown a rules rhs as a single proposition to be ''added'' to the database. The rhs of a Pfc rule has some richness as well. The rhs of a rule is a conjunction of facts to be ''added'' to the database and terms enclosed in brackets which represent conditions/actions which are executed. As a simple example, consider the conclusions we might draw upon learning that one person is the mother of another:
mother(X,Y) =>
As another example, consider a rule which detects bigamists and sends an appropriate warning to the proper authorities:
spouse(X,Y), spouse(X,Z), {Y\==Z} =>
 {format("~N~w is a bigamist, married
 to both ~w and ~w~n",[X,Y,Z])}.
Each element in the rhs of a rule is processed from left to right --- assertions being added to the database with appropriate support and conditions being satisfied. If a condition can not be satisfied, the rest of the rhs is not processed. We would like to allow rules to be expressed as bi-conditional in so far a possible. Thus, an element in the lhs of a rule should have an appropriate meaning on the rhs as well. What meaning should be assigned to the conditional fact construction (e.g. P/Q ) which can occur in a rules lhs? Such a term in the rhs of a rule is interpreted as a conditioned assertion. Thus the assertion P/Q will match a condition P\prime in the lhs of a rule only if P and P\prime unify and the condition Q is satisfiable. For example, consider the rules that says that an object being located at one place is reason to believe that it is not at any other place:
at(X,L1) => not(at(X,L2))/L2\==L1
Note that a conditioned assertion is essentially a Horn clause. We would express this fact in Prolog as the backward chaining rule:
not(at(X,L2)) :- at(X,L1),L1\==L2.
The difference is, of course, that the addition of such a conditioned assertion will trigger forward chaining whereas the assertion of a new backward chaining rule will not.
The Truth Maintenance System
As discussed in the previous section, a forward reasoning system has special needs for some kind of truth maintenance system. The Pfc system has a rather straightforward TMS system which records justifications for each fact deduced by a Pfc rule. Whenever a fact is removed from the database, any justifications in which it plays a part are also removed. The facts that are justified by a removed justification are checked to see if they are still supported by some other justifications. If they are not, then those facts are also removed. Such a TMS system can be relatively expensive to use and is not needed for many applications. Consequently, its use and nature are optional in Pfc and are controlled by the predicate pfcTmsMode/1. The possible cases are three: A fact is considered to be supported by God if it is found in the database with no visible means of support. That is, if Pfc discovers an assertion in the database that can take part in a forward reasoning step, and that assertion is not supported by either the user or a forward deduction, then a note is added that the assertion is supported by God. This adds additional flexibility in interfacing systems employing Pfc to other Prolog applications.
For some applications, it is useful to be able to justify actions performed in the rhs of a rule. To allow this, Pfc supports the idea of declaring certain actions to be undoable and provides the user with a way of specifying methods to undo those actions. Whenever an action is executed in the rhs of a rule and that action is undoable, then a record is made of the justification for that action. If that justification is later invalidated (e.g. through the retraction of one of its justificees) then the support is checked for the


Social Work Rural Camp

Measuring sensitivity of hydraulic structures is considered as an approach for evaluation of water projects performance, due to lower distribution efficiency in Irrigation and Drainage project schemes. Sensitivity analysis approach for irrigation structures is one of flow analysis methods which are developed in recent years in order to measure the behavior of flow in hydraulic structures in an irrigation network. This study examines the sensitivity of offtake structures in Varamin irrigation and drainage network project, which is one of the modern networks in Iran. The sensitivity measurement was carried out by the use of collected data from field in years of 2010, 2011 and 2012, and compared them with the water requirement for crop pattern calculated by CROPWAT model. Flow channel simulation was conducted in the project to identify the most sensitive offtake structures, due to inappropriate allocation of water particularly in downstream of network. Simulation and evaluation were carried out using SOBEK hydrodynamic model, and relationships introduced for sensitivity measures for offtake structures. Investigations and sensitive analysis on hydraulics structures in Varamin Irrigation network showed that Baffle modules have significant sensitivity. According to reviewed equations, sensitivity of Baffle modules is related to upstream depth, and opening of NEYRPIC module gates; which occurred more in terminal structures. The best way to have an optimal operation in this network is supply of required water depth in downstream of each canal. In these circumstances, the water depth in all offtakes is provided, and does not make any changes in the opening modules also.

The Teiid project ( is a data virtualization system allowing applications to use data from multiple, heterogeneous data stores. These data sources currently include a broad range of relational databases, web services, text files, and ldap. Every data integration project has a unique set of requirements often with multiple way to approach solving the problem. Some use cases are best addressed with a classic data warehousing approach by transforming and integrating data (ETL) into a centralize DW for reporting and analysis. In other cases, a query federation approach is more applicable where the source data remains where it is, and a query federation engine like Teiid is used to present multiple, disparate datasources as a single entity. In fact, we believe there are all use cases that can benefit from combination of these technologies.
Teiid provides the an optimized engine for unifying data sources without moving data.
Pentaho Data Integration provides an easy-to-use, robust library of transformation objects that can be used to transform data so that its easier to integrate with other heterogeneous data sources in Teiid.
Use Cases
As a DBA, I want the ability to incorporate data from xyz source with my data warehouse without having to make drastic changes to my data warehouse.
As a Virtual Database modeler (Teiid user), I want a robust transformation library so that I can make appropriate modifications to my data source before incorporating it into my Virtual Database.

Easy Way to Create Planets
In this post we will give you Dilekt's instructions how to create planets in photoshop. Planets made by Dilekt you can see on our post – Celestial Bodies in the Digital Art. On that post you can see remarkable beauty of Delikt's art. But on this post Dilekt give you more – he give you short and very simple instructions to make planets by your own. It is usable (if you just a little familiar with photoshop), very easy for creating, and looks fantastic. Try it.
1) First off, you need to have a texture map ready to work with. I'd suggest making a 4000×4000 texture because it will get pixelated, so you will have to scale it down later on. Basically, what you need to do is combine a bunch of textures together. Try to experimenting with different blending modes, that way everything flows well.
2) Alright, now that you've got your texture map ready, it's time to morph it into a planet. Select the elliptical marquee tool, and put your mouse cursor on the top left corner of your screen, press and hold the shift key and drag your cursor to the bottom right corner. This is what you should see.
3) Now, press CTRL+C to copy the selected area. Click File-New to create a new working space (make sure you put the aspect ratio 1000 pixels higher, so if your planet texture is 4000×4000 then put 5000×5000). Press CTRL+V to paste the selected area into the working space. You should see your selected circle. Time to turn it into a sphere! With the layer selected, click Filter-Distort-Spherize and set it to 100. Use the filter 2 times. This is what you should get:
4) Time to make a shadow. We're going to create a shadow being cast on the bottom right side of the planet. Before we do this, with your planet marquee still selected, duplicate your planet layer, and fill it with black. Press CTRL+D to remove the marquee. Now click Filter-Gaussian blur and set it to something around 300, so do it once with 200 and another time with 100. You should see something like this:
5) With the shadow layer selected, press CTRL+T to transform it. Hold SHIFT and grab he bottom right corner of the shadow and drag it outwards until it suits your needs. This is what I got:
Now, select your original planet layer, and select the Magic Wand tool. Click anywhere OUTSIDE the planet. You'll see everything is marquee'd except the planet. Now, with this marquee still active, click on the shadow layer and press your BACKSPACE key. The shadow outside the planet should now disappear.
A) Onto lighting your planet up. Duplicate your original planet layer and make sure it's under your shadow layer. CTRL+CLICK this new duplicated layer. Press ALT+BACKSPACE and fill it with white. Click Select-Modifiy-Contract and put 100, do this 2 times. You should get this:
B) Now press backspace to remove the selected area. Then press CTRL+D to deselect it. Once you've done that, click Filter-Gaussian blur and set it at 200. Select the eraser tool and select a big soft rounded brush. Start erasing the atmosphere on the outer edges of the shadowed part of the planet. Now you have your atmosphere! If youwant it to be even brighter, just duplicate the same layer and set the opacity to whatever value you desire. This is my outcome:
C) Select your shadow layer and press CTRL+E twice to merge all your layers (you're suppose to have 3). If you still need to adjust the lighting on your planet, use the Dodge Tool and brush over the lighted part of your planet. You can select Midtones from the dodge tool drop list too.

To assist with relief efforts after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Turkey in October 2011, researchers used eight cameras mounted on a vehicle to capture 360-degree images of part of the disaster area.
Using the system, a two-person team captured images from the centers of the cities of Van and Ercis for three days during the early part of November.
The images were digitized using Netcad (Ankara, Turkey) software and processed with a super-computer. In this way, damage assessments were completed faster and the necessary disaster aid could be determined more effectively, including the amount of compensation to be paid to building owners.
The researchers claim that the method -- which allows image data to be captured even when the vehicle is moving at speeds of 60 kph -- means that the system is 10 times faster than classical approaches.

Sumarinis procesas: romėniškosios kilmės paieškos, taikymo problemos bei teisinio reglamentavimo galimybės.
The Code of Civil procedure of Republic of Lithuania establishes a variety of procedural forms. The main forms of summary proceedings are court order and documentary proceedings that are dedicated to reach a higher degree of concentration and economy. One of the main aims of the article is to present the origins of summary proceedings that can be find in roman civil procedure. According to that, the essence of the rescriptorial litigation is revealed. It is stated in the article that the forms of litigation mentioned above essentially fulfilled their destination but there are some problems the courts collide while applying the norms of the Code of Civil procedure regulating the handing of procedural documents passed in the summary civil procedure and as well there exist serious disadvantages while regulating the coming into power of preliminary decision. The author argues the position of the Supreme Court that was developed according to the situation when the copy of a preliminary decision cannot be handed to the defendant because his location is unknown. It is suggested that according to the principle of disposition of parties, the claim should be left not considered meanwhile the right of the decision to apply or not following the ordinary dispute litigation should be given exceptionally to the plaintiff. The author assumes the order of coming into power of preliminary procedure as one of the principle drawbacks in the legal regulation of defined summary trials. In this case establishing the same order of coming into power as for the court order the essential difference between two forms of defined summary trial has not been taken into mind. The author refers to the examples established in the mid–war Code of Civil procedure and in the Code of Civil procedure of the Republic of Latvia and emphasizes that the preliminary decision is passed on the basis of proof that was presented by the plaintiff, the court evaluates the presented literal proof and thus the possibility to pass an unfair decision is much lesser than in the case of court order. According to that it is suggested to amend the Code of Civil procedure stating that the coming into power of preliminary procedure has nothing in common with the contradictions presented by the defendant and establish the right of the defendant to appeal the preliminary decision following the general rules of appeal.

Common Types of JST Connectors and Their Uses
by Roman
A JST connector is a common electrical connecting standard. An acronym for Japan Solderless Terminal, JST connectors are present in most electrical appliances. One of the most common examples is the whited-headed cable in workstation computer systems.
Other than that, you may have also seen a jst phr-3 adapter in rechargeable battery backups. Curious about how these connectors differ from each other? Read along. We spell out everything!
Common Types of JST Connectors
JST SH 1.5 mm
This JST wire connector has 1.5mm spacing between its connecting pins. Its 4-pin variant is the most common type of JST connector found in most flight controllers and laptops.
JST GH
JST GH looks similar to the SH connectors but has a pin spacing of 1.25 millimeters. However, observing closely, you'll find the pins are bigger and more spread out. Moreover, the plastic housing is thicker and taller. Coming to the use, you'll mostly find the 1.25mm connector in small video cameras. Although the connectors may have a different number of pins, the spacing is always 1.25 mm.
JST ZH
The next connector is the JST ZH connector with 1.5 mm spacing. Compared to the other connectors, the ZH connectors are rare. You'll mostly find them in satellite receivers. Other than those, some 3D printers also use them.
JST PH and PA
The JST PA and PH connectors have a pin spacing of 2.0mm. However, they differ in their current capacities. The JST PA has a current capacity of 3 Amps, while the JST PH connector has a current capacity of 2 Amps. These 2.0 mm spacing connectors are common in low-quality electronics and fabricated hobbyist PCBs. However, they are inexpensive and compact but aren't much robust.
JST XH / XA /EH
The JST XH connector comes with 2.5 mm spacing. You will find three different variants in the 2.5 mm spacing. Typicals are the JST XH, XA, and EH connectors. The connector on the circuit decides which one you need to buy as all three have a different number of input wires. As for the current capacity, they offer the same power of 3 amps. Again, you'll cross paths with this connector family in low-consumer products.
Although these connectors are very much alike, they have different shapes. That is why you can use a JST EH instead of a JST XH. The XH connectors are like a larger version of the PH connectors. You'll recognize them by their particular head design and taller plastic housing.
The JST XA connectors are not very common. Most of your electronic projects will require XH connectors. XA connectors are mostly present in Japanese brand LED TVs or other products.
How Do You Recognize A Male And A Female JST Connector?
Many users mistake these two terms. Therefore, it's important to elaborate on them. A JST female connector has rounded pins. In contrast, the male JST connectors have metallic pointed pins. Alternatively, for a simpler identification, the female connector has wires connected to it. At the same time, the male one is on its own. When you purchase a JST connector, it comes with both male and female connectors.
Conclusion
JST connectors are power-transmitting connectors in various electronic devices. Some advanced ones also provide other functions like video and audio transmission. One thing to note is that there are countless kinds of JST connectors. As more devices appear on the market, the connectors keep updating. Therefore, you should always examine the connector on the circuit before purchasing a wired or female connector.

Motion Capture
Due to its vertical liveliness, the Warwick Bridge is a unique platform for studying pedestrian interaction with perceptibly vibrating decks. The VICON motion capture system is being used on the bridge to monitor kinematics of the human motion while walking over both lively and an equivalent rigid structure. Figure 1 shows a test trial on the lively deck as well as the corresponding walking model reconstructed in Nexus software. Quantifying kinematics of the human movement will allow to identify the stepping strategy applied by people while walking over lively decks, and its influence on vibration performance of the structure. The experimental data will enhance our understanding of pedestrian-structure interaction and they will help developing performance based cost effective design procedures applicable to slender structures.

Parents Sue Wisconsin School District Over Gender Transition Indoctrination
Parents Sue Wisconsin School District over Gender Transition Indoctrination
Tired of being badgered by unconstitutional policies, parents are suing the Madison (Wisconsin) Metropolitan School District for enabling (and even encouraging) children to socially transition to a member of the opposite sex at school without parental notice or consent.
The lawsuit, filed on February 18, claims that the school district is in violation of parents' fundamental and constitutional right to direct the upbringing of their children. The lawsuit specifically mentions that the school district's adoption of its "Guidance and Policies to Support Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender-Expansive Students" in 2018 and subsequent "transition" training programs violate two sections of the Wisconsin Constitution as well as numerous Wisconsin supreme court cases which uphold the rights of parents in the upbringing of their children.
The "guidance and policies" mentioned above require teachers to refer to students by their affirmed names and pronouns, and says that "School staff shall not disclose any information that may reveal a student's gender identity to others, including parents or guardians and other school staff, unless legally required to do so or unless the student has authorized such disclosure."
The filed lawsuit even includes examples of the school district encouraging children to question their gender. One such example includes a video in which the teacher reads a book to the children that contains statements like: "Are you a boy or a girl? How can you be both? Some days I am both. Some days I am neither. Most days, I am everything in between." And: "Many people understand that my gender is something for only me to decide." The lawsuit also shows how the school district intends to "disrupt" any binary gender discussion through books and lessons "limit[ing] gendered and binary language," and interrupting and correcting "misconceptions about gender or language that reinforce the gender binary."
In other words, the school district is deliberately attempting to oppose Christian beliefs and specifically target Christian children with indoctrination in sexual humanism. And all of this is being done without any parental notification or consent. It's paid for by taxpayers—and yet, those who send their children to Christian schools or homeschool in many states in the US can't get the taxes they pay to be applied to the education they want. Christians who opt out of the increasingly pagan public schools still have to pay their taxes to fund this system!
Now Scripture is clear on this subject of gender (and biology is as well): God created mankind male and female (Genesis 1:27). Coercing children to believe that there are several genders, that you can change your gender based on your feelings, that you can hide this from your parents and even have your teachers lie to them about it is extremely disturbing and wrong. It is also anti-science. Even worse is that if a child believes in the biblical definition of gender, that child could be "interrupted" and "corrected" (which is also a violation of the US and Wisconsin constitutions on freedom of religion according to the dictates of conscience). This is a blatant and unconscionable anti-Christian indoctrination.

Using C, how can I access the same block of memory as another C program?
So, I'm on hour one of learning C. Maybe I'll jump over to C++ tonight.
I'd like to create two command line programs using C that can "talk" to each other. The first thought that came to mind is to transfer information between the two by writing to and polling files. However, I figure C provides all the methods I need to directly allocate memory and access it, and that would be much faster and more sensible technique.
Can someone provide an example or advice?
Answers
What you are asking for is called shared memory. Unfortunately, shared memory is not part of the C language per se, but a feature of the operating system. Since you didn't specify what operating system you are using, I point you to a Unix SysV shared memory tutorial.

Chappell Hill (Washington County)
-A A +A
Mary Hargrove Haller founded the town of Chappell Hill in 1847, naming the town for her grandfather Robert Wooding Chappell, and the sale of lots began two years later. The community is near the center of Stephen F. Austin's original colony and attracted colonists to the rich agricultural land of the Brazos River valley. Cotton was the principal crop into the early twentieth century. At its height in the late nineteenth century, Chappell Hill was a major trading center with sawmills and two institutes of higher education. The three-block Main Street commercial district and adjoining residential neighborhoods constitute a small and largely intact historic area.

Easy Kumpir (Jacket Potato) Recipe
Kumpir or kompir is the name given to potatoes in my hometown. Although it is a word that is generally preferred by the elderly, it has not been used yet. It is thought that it was derived from the word "grundbirne", which means potato in German, and entered our country during the migrations over the Balkans and spread to Anatolia from there.
In different regions, it has taken the forms of "kumpir, gumpir, kumpil, gompil, hompur, humpur, kübül, guüpür" by changing it to fit the dialect of the people best. I think the word that best supports the theory that the word derives from German is the word "Alamangumpili" used by the people of Afyon.
Potatoes entered our country from different country borders at the beginning of the 19th century. For this reason, the pronunciation in the regions also reflects the pronunciation in the countries where it is taken. In Thrace and other provinces that have migrated through this road, the word is said as kumpir and its derivatives, which I have mentioned above, since the word was taken from Bulgaria.
In the Black Sea, the words kartol, kartop, karton, garduf, kardoğ, etc., which are derived from the word cartofel, are used because it was taken from Russia. In the regions that take the word from the Caucasus, patata, patalak, pitana, pata, etc., which is derived from the word patat. words are used. There is no limit to the words used other than those I have mentioned. Potato is perhaps the food with the most diverse pronunciation in our country.
The entry of kumpir in our country as we know it today coincides with a much later date, in 1991. It is stated in various sources that the potato cooked in aluminum foil in Yugoslavia is obtained by combining it with various salads and sauces and is called "krumpir".
Mr. The protagonist of the Kumpir's adventure that started in Turkey, which has made its name known to the world with the brand "Mr Kumpur", is an entrepreneur from Erzurum named Halit Kesemen.
However, Halit Bey introduced kumpir into our lives, which is produced in industrial ovens and can only be eaten in restaurants and cafes. Now, with this recipe, I intend to bring the kumpir to the houses. This recipe, which can be prepared in a very short time if your cucumber ingredients are ready, can be eaten as a snack on days when you are too lazy to cook and eat, or you can serve it to your guests as a salad.
Enjoy the recipe...

Celtic robes were worn by followers of the goddess religions in ancient Wales and the British Isles. Druid priests still wear the long, hooded white robes that designate their order to Stonehenge Summer Solstice celebrations. Celtic robes that echo ancient times are simple to make.
- Skill level:
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- White hooded robe (plain)
- Contrasting trim
- 9 foot cording
- Green fabric paint or embroidery thread
Select a white robe, or one in a natural, organic shade. Ancient Celtic robes reflect personal qualities and are central to Druid identity. Consider the weight and texture of the fabric as well as how it fits---Druid priests considered the robes to be their skin.
Add fabric trim that contrasts with the robe or is associated with your favourite god or goddess. Sew the trim from the front bottom edge of the robe, up along the lapel, around the neck and down the opposite lapel to the bottom of the robe.
For a man, embroider or draw a green pentacle on the right sleeve or cuff. Pentacles display the degree of your Druid knowledge and become increasingly ornate with advanced knowledge.
Add a cord in a colour that matches or contrasts with the robe. In ancient times, Druid priests used a rolled cord, called Gwyddon Cord, to measure temples. This cord, used as a belt, is 9 feet long and has 5 knots. Each end is knotted, with a knot precisely in the middle and a knot exactly between each end and the middle knot.

HOP TO IT!
Students will learn how a frog's strong back legs allow it to
hop long distances. Segments from two ITV programs will be used to help
students become interested in imitating the jumping behaviors of frogs.
The students will estimate the distances they can jump with two different
movements. They will jump and measure the actual distances to determine
which kind of jumping resulted in longer jumps. The students will use this
information to make second estimates and jumps. This information, as well
as their personal reactions to the comfort and ease of each type of jump,
will help students determine which kind of jumping is best for them. Although
this lesson could stand alone, it would fit nicely as the opening activity
in a science study about frogs or within a unit on measurement. This lesson
can be completed in one day.
Reading Rainbow #415: My Little Island
The Magic School Bus #105: The Magic School Bus Hops Home
Students will be able to:
- estimate the distance they will travel with two different types of
- measure the distance of the two different types of jumps using nonstandard
measurements (such as linking cubes, especially for younger students) or
standard measurements (centimeters, in most cases).
- use the information gathered from the first set of two jumps to estimate
the distance they will travel with a second round of jumps.
- use the information they have gathered to draw a conclusion about
the best type of jumping for them.
Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS), Grades K-4:
- Demonstrate an understanding of measurement concepts using metric
and customary units.
- Demonstrate an understanding of probability and statistics.
- Estimate solutions to a problem situation.
- Acquire scientific data and/or information.
- Interpret scientific data and/or information.
- Make inferences, form generalized statements, and/or make predictions
using scientific data and/or information.
if using nonstandard measure:
- diagram of a hopping frog
if using standard measure:
- linking cubes
- large paper clips
- crayons or straws
- tape measures or meter sticks
- a recording sheet
- pencil or crayon
- front legs
- back legs
Tell students that in this activity they will be moving like a certain animal
and measuring to see how well they do at moving like this animal. Ask the
students to guess what animal they will be moving like. After several students
have had the opportunity to guess, tell them that LeVar Burton was out on
a search for one of these animals in the Reading Rainbow program about the
book "My Little Island". Tell students that they should watch
carefully to determine what animal LeVar was looking for and where he would
find this animal.
Background information: Frogs are amphibians. They have backbones and their
skeletons are inside their bodies. Frogs are cold-blooded, so their body
temperature stays the same as the air or water around them. Frogs usually
have moist skin. A frog has a large mouth with a long sticky tongue that
shoots out quickly to catch prey like insects. Frogs lay eggs in the water
which hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles go through metamorphosis, which is a
series of changes to the size, shape, and appearance of it body. Frogs have
four appendages. The two front legs are short and weak. Each front leg has
four toes and is used for balance and to land after a jump. The two back
legs are long and well developed. Each back leg has five toes and many frogs
have webbed back feet used for swimming. A frog rests with its back legs
folded so it can hop quickly to catch prey or to escape from predators.
(Information about frogs adapted from Victor, E. (1975) Science for the
Elementary School, Third Ed., New York: Macmillan Publishing, p. 524-525.)
In this lesson, it is important that students learn how to jump safely and
use this information during the jumping activity to prevent injuries. Demonstrate
and explain the appropriate ways to jump carefully to the students.
Frog jump: The student will squat, with hands on the floor in front of the
feet. The student will jump a short distance and land on the hands and feet
simultaneously. The hands and arms absorb part of the landing impact to
prevent excessive strain on the knees. The students should be frequently
encouraged to consider personal estimates and actual measures in order to
discourage aspects of competition in jumping.
Standing jump: The student will bend legs at knees, jump by taking off with
both feet, swing arms forward upon takeoff, and will land on both feet.
The arms help with an upswing and the movement of the body combined with
the force of the feet helps lift the weight. A jumper lands lightly on the
balls of the feet with the knees bent. (Information adapted from Dauer,
V. P. & Pangrazi. (1989). Dynamic Physical Education For Elementary
School Children. New York: Macmillan, p. 281, 282, 448.)
Segments from two ITV programs are used in this lesson. Reading Rainbow
is used as an anticipatory set to create interest in frogs. The Magic School
Bus segment is used to help students focus on how frogs can jump. Since
one of the purposes of using the first video is to discover the animal and
what it can do, there are no pre-viewing activities.
CUE the Reading Rainbow video to the point after the
book reading segment and LeVar has been to a market to examine fruits and
vegetables on sale there. BEGIN the video as LeVar says, "Some
of the fruit here is pretty wild. But it's not only the wild life here on
Monserrat. Meet me tonight up in the mountains and I'll show you what I
mean." PAUSE after LeVar says, "Ssh! We're out here trying
to catch mountain chickens. You gotta be quick. But they're usually quicker."
Ask, "Where is LeVar?" (in the mountains, a place with lots of
trees, dark) Ask, "What is LeVar looking for?" (mountain chickens)
Ask, "What do you think mountain chickens are?" (Students may
make various guesses such as birds or chickens.)
Tell students to watch the next segment to see if they find a mountain chicken.
RESUME the video to continue as LeVar and his guide are prowling
in the dark. PAUSE as the hand reaches down before it picks up the
frog. Ask, "Do you think they found something?" (yes) Ask, "What
might he have found?" (a mountain chicken, a frog, others) Ask, "Why
might it be hard to spot the mountain chicken?" (too dark, animal is
camouflaged, its color makes it hard to see)
Tell students to watch the next segment to see what he caught. RESUME
video and PAUSE where guide picks up frog and says, "LeVar,
I got one. Come, you see it." Ask, "What did he catch?" (a
mountain chicken, a frog)Tell students to watch the next segment to see
if the frog is really a mountain chicken. RESUME video to continue
through the examination of the frog's back. PAUSE where LeVar says,
"One of the reasons they're so difficult to catch." Ask, "Is
it a mountain chicken? (yes) Why do you think they call it that? (it lives
in the mountains, people like to eat frogs' legs, some people say it tastes
like chicken) [Note: These points are not discussed in the video, so the
teacher may need to discuss these ideas with the students.]
Ask, "What is special about this frog?" (the eyes look fluorescentthey glow, the mouth can expand like a balloon to make sounds, the color
of its back makes it hard to see)
Tell students the frog's legs help it to do something special. Tell students
to watch the next segment to see what else is special about its legs. RESUME
the video. PAUSE after LeVar says, "Stay right there, you guy."
Ask, "What are the frog's legs like? (long, strong, funny toes) What
can the frog do? (jump far) How can the frog jump far? (strong legs push
him) How did LeVar say the frog felt? (slippery) Why do you think the frog
felt slippery? (he was wet, rain, frogs like to be wet) What did LeVar say
the toes look like?" (twigs from a tree)
Tell students that LeVar is going to put the frog down. Ask, "What
do you think the frog will do?" (jump, hop away) Tell students to watch
the next segment to see what the frog will do. RESUME the video.
STOP the video where LeVar puts the frog on the ground and says,
"There you go, guy." and the frog sits on the ground. Ask, "What
did the frog do? (sat on the ground) Why do you think he didn't hop away?
(he was scared, he was trying to hide)
What do you think of when someone mentions frogs? Jumping, of course. But
how far can a frog jump? Tell students to think about how far frogs can
jump as they watch a segment of The Magic School Bus Hops Home. EJECT
the Reading Rainbow video and INSERT The Magic School Bus

Despite the substantial area covered by grasslands in Madagascar (65%), the taxonomy of the grasses (Poaceae), which represent the main plant component of these vegetation types, is still understudied. Inventories and detailed specimen identification work from 1 2 localities in the Itremo Massif Protected Area allowed us to compile a list of grasses present in the area. In total, members of eight subfamilies, 56 genera, and 99 species have been recorded from the Itremo Massif. Grasslands cover 75% of the Itremo Massif Protected Area and are dominated by Panicoideae (65%) and by C4 plants. The genera Eragrostis and Panicum, with nine and eight species respectively, are the best represented genera in Itremo. Eragrostis betsileensis and Tristachya betsileensis are the two species known to be local endemics. Twenty species are endemic to the central highlands, and a further 1 4 species are restricted to Madagascar. Five ecological groups of grasses were identified in the Itremo Massif: shade species in gallery forests, open wet area species, fire grasses, anthropogenic disturbance associated grasses and rock-dwelling grasses. Grasslands of the Itremo Massif are likely to be at least partly natural as shown by their richness in terms of endemic and native grass species. Conservation of such grasslands is thus an important issue, not only for grasses but for all species that inhabit these open canopy habitats.

The entries in /dev are not devices. They are named files that
allow a process to interact with the kernel in a specific fashion.
For example, /dev/ipnat is not a device that is attached to the
system, it is just a name that allows for specific IO requests
to be directed to different code than handles /dev/ipf ones.
The same is true again for disk devices, /dev/wd0a does not
refer to a physical device: you will not find a wd0a attached
to pci0 or ide0 or anything else like that. Most network devices
aren't even present in that directory.
Proper devices, such as network cards and disk drives are all
named "".

Wonnangatta Station location
The Wonnangatta Station was a cattle station located in a remote valley of the Victorian Alps, Australia. According to writer Harry Stephenson the station, while it operated, was "the most isolated homestead in Victoria." [1][2]
The nearest population centres were the goldfield towns of Talbotville, about 20 miles (32 km) away, Grant and Dargo to the south-east, and the larger town of Mansfield, about 80 miles (130 km) away over the Great Dividing Range.
The Wonnangatta Station homestead was accidentally burnt down by bushwalkers in 1957. Some stockyards and the old cemetery, which has been restored to something resembling its original form, survive. Today the area is part of the Alpine National Park, and is only accessible by Four-wheel drive, dirt bike, horse or on foot. The station remains a popular offroad destination and has numerous facilities for campers, including septic toilets and concrete fire pits.
The station had been established in the 1860s by Oliver Smith, a North American who came across the valley while prospecting for gold. Smith's common law wife Ellen or "Nancy"[3] and her son Harry joined him and a homestead was built near the junction of the Wonnangatta River and Conglomerate Creek.[4]
Some time later Ellen died in childbirth,[5] and soon after Smith sold out to William Bryce before eventually returning to the United States.
The Bryce family then occupied the station while Ellen's son Harry Smith moved down the valley and established himself at Eaglevale. The Bryce family remained a presence at Wonnangatta until Mrs Bryce died in 1914 at the age of 78. Ten Bryce children were brought up at Wonnangatta. As the children grew up they moved away and after Mrs Bryce's death the property was sold to Mansfield owners in 1916, who installed a manager to run the station.
The Wonnangatta Murders[edit]
The station and surrounding area are the site of the still-unsolved Wonnangatta murders which occurred in late 1917 and 1918.

The cats as other creatures do
use to swagger, and make love too.
And in the dark and coldest night,
These Jeffry Lyons use to fight;
Then they cry, "mew", "puss",
but the cruel'st battle far,
was lately fought at Temble bar,
upon the tiles o'the house there;
Where Bolo Sir Bore Cat was heard to swear:
"The slave that courts my puss shall die."
To whom Sir Sharp Nail gives the lie.
Then they cry, "mew", "puss"
And so they fiercely both sides join,
asking, "who shall die tear that coat and mine?"
"Though and I", thus they cry, "mew",
still they cry, "mew".

For three-quarters of a century the Lord Somers Camp, as a non profit organisation has provided youth development and leadership services from its extensive camp facility on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.
Now with the support of an Australian Government Water Fund Community Grant and the assistance of major suppliers of water conservation products the Lord Somers Camp is taking full advantage of conserved rainwater for its non mains water supply needs.
The Somers site which has an area of 3.4 hectares receives an annual rainfall of 750mm. As little as 150mm of runoff will be sufficient to fill two 27,000 litre rainwater tanks saving an estimated 267,000 litres of potable water each year.
Rainwater is now collected off 356 square metres of roof area while the tank capacity will provide an estimated 9,000 toilet flushes.
Two 27,000 litre Bluescope Steel rainwater storage tanks are matched to a Davey RainBank system including automatic controllers, so that flushing of twelve toilets in the accommodation units and and supply of water to washing machines is achieved by using rainwater collected from the building rooftops rather than valuable mains water.
An existing Davey pump has been integrated into the system to allow for watering of the expanded indigenous garden areas surrounding the complex.
The water conservation initiative was officially opened by Greg Hunt MP, the local Federal Member for Flinders and Shadow Minister for the Environment.
The Davey RainBank automatic controllers draws upon the stored rainwater whenever there are adequate resources conserved and reverts to the mains water supply only if the rainwater supply is insufficient.
Davey also supplied, through local Davey Master Dealer, PIPES of Dromana, the water supply pump and installation requirements which include a Davey HM90-13 pump unit, three specialised RainBank units and a master control unit.
Davey Water Products spokesman Max Ekins said that the RainBank controllers are being installed on numerous domestic and institutional building projects where rainwater is being collected to provide an assured supply of water for toilet flushing, laundry needs, wash down and irrigation purposes thereby conserving an equivalent quantity of potable water.

A unique and rare species of flower has been kept blooming by walkers flattening through mud in area of Angel seyon a coastal path. A species that is part of the buttercup family, which is a three lobed water-crowfoot is capable to grow because walkers are disturbing the ground around it. That also gives rise to tiny plants that grows in puddles, shallow pools, and even tractor and hoof tracks.
The water-crowfoot, a rare flower plant has to grow in spring season quickly because the channels dry out in summer that is favorable to its natural growth. According to Trevor Dines from Plant life Cymru statement there are fewer than 20 plants that are growing in a ditch on the path including the water-crowfoot.
As there are no sheep or cattle to disturb the mud so the plants depend entirely on walkers that cross the ditch on the coastal path and this mud loving crowfoot likes nothing more than creeping through filthy ditches, ruts and shallow pools looks glorious to eyes.
According to plant life experts the flower is also springing up along the tracks and is now growing in more sites than ever before when animals move from pool to pool and in this way they also spread the seed with their hooves.


New Israeli study exposes coded language used by anti-semites on social media
March 2, 2021 by TPS
Read on for article
Anti-Semites are employing the use of a secret language, or "dog whistles," to evade detection by algorithms on social media tracking anti-Semitism, posing challenges to law enforcement and social media platforms, a University of Haifa study has revealed.

The new study, authored by Dr Gabriel Weimann, a professor of communication at the University of Haifa and web intelligence analyst Ari Ben-Am, has revealed the existence of a new coded language on social media being used by anti-Semitic groups to fly under the radar of artificial intelligence-designed algorithms.
This sophisticated language, which is used for both propaganda and recruitment purposes, is hidden in plain sight and encourages violent incidents like the Christchurch shooting in New Zealand or the January Capitol Hill riots in Washington D.C.
The study explores the emergence of this new language, its characteristics, transmission, and usage, and its findings are intended to serve both law enforcement and private sector hi-tech organizations in their quest to combat hate speech online.
Given the popularity of the platform, the study focused primarily on images and messages disseminated on Facebook.
Posts used for the analysis were identified qualitatively after scanning hundreds of relevant groups and pages, eventually reaching a smaller sample of tens of pages with a minimum of 500 followers or likes as an initial seed group.
Much of this coded language, the study found, was shown to rely on the use of "dog-whistles," a coded message communicated through words or phrases commonly understood by a particular group of people, but not by others.
The method could be as simple as swapping one word for another such as far-right users calling Jews "Skypes," African-Americans as "Googles" and Latinos as "Yahoos."
Some tactics to disguise the anti-Semitic communications use numerology where numbers stand for people or concepts. The number 88, for example, stands for "Heil Hitler," since H is the eighth letter in the alphabet.
Finally, the language also employed visual cues often by manipulating already popular memes found in pop culture. This method is by far the most sophisticated one as an algorithm's ability to detect hate speech within an image is still limited.
Weimann is working on a comprehensive glossary of terms chronicling instances of this coded language and what it means, and hopes this study will encourage law enforcement and hi-tech companies to be more vigilant and aware that their algorithms are not the be-all and end-all of ending hate speech.
"It's clear that security, counter-terrorism, and government agencies, as well as social media platforms, are doing much to crack down on abuse," Weimann said.
However, "we need to educate the operators of these companies that run social media platforms to report these violations and also teach their users how to spot them. A human eye is still much savvier than a computer-generated algorithm," he said.
So successful is this new language based on numbers, acronyms, and hidden images, that it has driven the formation of alternative social media sites such as Gab, Bitchute, and imageboards such as 4Chan, 8Chan, and Neinchan.
"While this is purely an academic study, it has real-world implications," Weimann added. "Being Internet savvy and understanding what you're seeing online is important. We need to learn what they do, slow them down, and reduce their activity and efficiency. Words kill even if in a new language."

The computations in the analysis of any equireplicate design can be carried out very easily if the number of treatments common to any two blocks is constant. A design with this property is called a Linked Block (LB) design and was introduced by Youden. It is well known that for a Balanced Incomplete Block (BIB) design to have a constant number of treatments in common between any two blocks, it is necessary and sufficient that it is symmetric, that is, the number of blocks is equal to the number of treatments. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for any design with a given treatment-structure matrix to be of the LB type and the results applied to Partially Balanced Incomplete Block (PBIB) designs. Finally a list is prepared of all LB designs in the class of two-associate PBIB designs enumerated by Bose, Shrikhande and Clatworthy.

Virtual reality programming of a manufacturing cell
The main functionality of the module is to utilize VR for both robot programming and system programming. This creates a safer and more intuitive method for robot programming.
The module connects a manufacturing simulation software with the physical environment. This is done by having all the robots in the system connected to the industrial automation data server, and then connecting simulation software to the server. Then a VR headset is connected to the simulation software which allows for programming of each individual robot. It is also possible to program all the robots in a specified sequence.
To make the system more flexible and agile a wireless VR headset is used (oculus quest). The VR headset doesn't require any cables or cameras and it is therefore possible to program and interact with the virtual environment anywhere.
The structure of the system
The simulation software is Visual Components. There you have the model of manufacturing cell and then Visual Components Experience is used to interact with the simulation in VR.
The OPC UA server is the industrial automation data server which is used to connect the simulation software and the robots in the manufacturing cell.
Inputs and outputs
Input: All the joints values of each robot arm and the position of the mobile robot have to be added to the OPC UA.
Output: It will be possible to control the robot arms with joint control and to use position control of the mobile robot.
Formats and standards
Visual Components (simulation program), Visual Components Experience (VR functionality to simulation), OPC UA standard and a translator from Simulation software to robot movement (created in python).

Training material is under production. The tutorial shows how VR can be used for robot and system programming. _URL_

I collect data from a battery powered light sensor.
To maximize battery life, the device only sends data when there is a change in the light level instead of on a regular schedule. If the light level is constant, for example during the middle of a cloudy day, then it may not send any data for an hour or more.
If I have a plot that is only looking at the last 30 minutes then sometimes Grafana shows nothing because no data has been received in that 30 minute window, whereas in reality the current light level can be inferred by looking at the last reported value, even if that value was received hours ago.
Does Grafana have a way of displaying the current inferred value using the last known value even if it's outside the current window?
As far as I can tell the only alternative is to write a program that sits in between the sensor and Grafana that remembers the last received value and periodically generates fake data points. This wastes storage space and makes Grafana slower.

Distance from Baltimore: 55 miles, about an hour and 15 minutes by car Why it's worth the gas: More than 200 years ago, the first U.S.-born saint began a ministry here in the mountains of Western Maryland. The Seton National Shrine honors Elizabeth Ann Seton, who took vows as a nun after converting to Catholicism, moved from New York to Baltimore to launch a Catholic school for girls, then left for Emmitsburg to found what became the American province of the Daughters of Charity. She was canonized in 1975 by Pope Paul VI. Don't miss: The National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady Lourdes is the oldest known replica of the revered French shrine. Visitors can attend Mass, light a candle or collect Holy Water. Visit the chapel, above, where an image of Elizabeth Ann Seton is shown in stained glass.

An Ontology-Based Approach To Concern-Specific Dynamic Software Structure Monitoring
This thesis introduces ResOwn - an application resource ownership ontology for interactive session-oriented services. ResOwn provides software monitoring with enriched concepts of application resource ownership borrowed from real-world legal and ownership ontologies. ResOwn is formally defined in OWL-DL (Web Ontology Language Description Logic), verified using an off-the-shelf reasoner, and tested using the call processing software for a small private branch exchange (PBX). The ResOwn Prime Directive states that every object in an operational software system is a resource, an owner, or both simultaneously. Resources produce benefits. Beneficiary owners may receive resource benefits. Nonbeneficiary owners may only manage resources. This approach distinguishes resource ownership use from management and supports the ability to detect when a resource's role-based runtime capacity has been exceeded.
This thesis also presents a greybox approach to concern-specific, dynamic software structure monitoring including a monitor architecture, greybox interpreter, and algorithms for deriving monitoring model from a monitored target's formal specifications. The target's requirements and design are assumed to be specified in SDL, a formalism based on communicating extended finite state machines. Greybox abstraction, applicable to both behavior and structure, provides direction on what parts, and how much of the target to instrument, and what types of resource errors to detect.
The approach was manually evaluated using a number of resource allocation and ownership scenarios. These scenarios were obtained by collecting actual call traces from an instrumented PBX. The results of an analytical evaluation of ResOwn and the monitoring approach are presented in a discussion of key advantages and known limitations. Conclusions and recommended future work are discussed at the end of the thesis.

Define and Use Structure Parameters
Defining Structure Parameters
To define structure parameters in MATLAB Function blocks, follow these steps:
 1. Define and initialize a structure variable
 A common method is to create a structure in the base workspace. For other methods, see Structure Parameters.
 2. In the Ports and Data Manager, add data in the MATLAB Function block with the following properties:
 PropertyWhat to Specify
 NameEnter same name as the structure variable you defined in the base workspace
 ScopeSelect Parameter
 TunableLeave checked if you want to change (tune) the value of the parameter during simulation; otherwise, clear to make the parameter non-tunable and preserve the initial value during simulation
 TypeSelect Inherit: Same as Simulink
 3. Click Apply.
FIMATH Properties of Non-Tunable Structure Parameters
FIMATH properties for non-tunable structure parameters containing fixed-point values are based on the initial values of the structure. They do not come from the FIMATH properties specified for fixed-point input signals to the parent MATLAB Function block. (These FIMATH properties appear in the properties dialog box for MATLAB Function blocks.)

networkx.classes.function.density
density(G)[source]
Returns the density of a graph.
The density for undirected graphs is
\[d = \frac{2m}{n(n-1)},\]
and for directed graphs is
\[d = \frac{m}{n(n-1)},\]
where n is the number of nodes and m is the number of edges in G.
Notes
The density is 0 for a graph without edges and 1 for a complete graph. The density of multigraphs can be higher than 1.
Self loops are counted in the total number of edges so graphs with self loops can have density higher than 1.


CLC bio Part of $7.8 Million EU STATegra Grant to Develop Integral Analysis Platform for Epigenetics
12/12/2012 9:24:53 AM
AARHUS, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today CLC bio announced the participation in the European FP7 project, STATegra, and receives 1.3 million US Dollars out of the total $7.8M project budget. STATegra aims to develop a user-friendly integral analysis platform for different omics data that is capable of providing a more efficient use of genomics technologies. As a first, this project will generate and integrate data obtained in proteomic, metabolomic and epigenomic experiments. "One of the big challenges today is going past the raw sequence data and getting to grips with the complexity of epigenetic processes - how, when, and why are certain genes switched off or expressed?" states Senior Bioinformatics Scientist at CLC bio, Dr. Michael Lappe, and continues, "By working together with leading experimental researchers and using our in-house competences in world-class software-engineering, we aim to leverage a framework which makes this extremely complex network biology understandable. Ultimately our tools will facilitate the translation of massive amounts of data into useful insights that can be applied in clinical settings."
