Luigi Bazzani (Italian, _PHONE_)
A Pompeian Interior, 1882
Oil on panel, 28 3/4 x 22 inches
Signed, inscribed, and dated lower right: Luigi Bazzani/ROMA 1882
The 1748 rediscovery of Pompeii's amazingly preserved urban fabric inspired many 19th-century artists to imagine scenes from Roman daily life. The anecdotal charm, sumptuous color, and archaeological accuracy of A Pompeian Interior typifies this genre. Like Alma Tadema, the painter of what can be called "everyday antiquity," Bazzani probably relied on readily available photographs of ancient sites to create his compositions. The artist recreates the main central hall or atrium of a Roman villa, lighted by an opening in the roof, and a basin, called an impluvium, to collect rainwater that then flows into an underground container for everyday use. The impluvium and the winged-lion table in this painting appear to be based on those in the House of Meleager in Pompeii, featured in a photograph owned by Alma Tadema, who also used the table in his painting Glaucis and Nydia, 1867 (The Cleveland Museum of Art).
Luigi Bazzani, also called Bazzanetto, first studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in his native Bologna, Italy. After traveling to France and Germany, Bazzani settled in Rome, where he specialized in genre and landscape subjects, as well as set designs for theaters. He exhibited regularly from 1893 in Rome, Vienna, Munich, Berlin, and Paris. A teacher of perspective and set design at the Academia di Belle Arti in Rome from 1892 to 1896, Bazzani became a member of academies in Rome, Bologna, and Perugia.

Why Teach with Documented Problem Solving
Documented problem solving is a teaching and learning technique that requires students to write down the steps they follow when answering a question or solving a problem. According to Angelo and Cross "... students benefit by gaining more awareness of and control over their problem-solving routines." (1993: p. 222) Hess reports that, "The results of the documented problem solving will give the teacher a view of the students' thinking processes... The teacher can use the results to diagnose students' flaws in problem solving and analysis." (1994: p. 4)
Documented Problem Solving Provides a Window into Student Thought Processes
Unlike typical multiple choice, true/false, and short-answer solutions, documented problem solving requires students to think about how they approach a problem as they write down the solution steps. It's the student's reflection on the thought process as they write and the instructor's ability to essentially VIEW the thought process that makes documented problem solving so valuable (Hobson, 2008). Insight into the learning process is beneficial since it allows students and instructors to address learning gaps.
Documented problem solving establishes a dialog with individual students about their learning. This is especially helpful:
- When students are too shy or lack the self confidence to ask questions during class.
- When students think they understand the material and thus neglect to ask questions in class.
- In classes with a large number of students, which prohibits each student from asking questions during class.
- Since it measures student understanding on a more frequent basis than exams alone.
- Think Alouds - A technique similar to documented problem solving that requires students to state out loud what they are thinking as they attempt to solve a problem. The think aloud approach has been used extensively in developmental college math, reading and writing (Carnegie Foundation, 2007). Documented problem solving takes the think aloud concept one step further by asking students to write down the steps they use to solve a problem. In fact, some students may talk out loud as they write down their solution process.
- Brain Dump - The documented problem solving "... strategy is more complex than the brain dump strategy because it attempts to get at deeper issues related to student learning and content/process mastery." (Hobson, 2008: p. 5)
Documented Problem Solving is Closely Aligned with Learning Science Findings
Documented problem solving is closely tied to prominent learning science findings included in How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School (Bransford, Brown, and Cocking, 2000). The Executive Summary states "Science now offers new conceptions of the learning process and the development of competent performance. Recent research provides a deep understanding of complex reasoning and performance on problem-solving tasks and how skill and understanding in key subjects are acquired" (p. xi).
In the process of writing the documented problem solution, students encounter the following:
- Metacognition refers to "... the ability to monitor one's current level of understanding and decide when it is not adequate." (Bransford, et al., p. 35)
- "By prompting students to make each step manifest and explicit, this CAT (classroom assessment technique) promotes the development of discipline-specific metacognitive skills – in this case, awareness of and control over problem-solving processes." (Angelo and Cross, 1993: p. 225)
- In the process of writing a documented problem solution, students who lack understanding will not be able to complete the process. Thus, documented problem solving, in essence, forces students to recognize what they don't know and assists with metacognition.
- Expert-novice learning
- According to (Bransford, et al., p. 19) "... experts have acquired knowledge that affects what they notice and how they organize, represent, and interpret information in their environment. This, in turn, affects their abilities to remember, reason, and solve problems."
- In order to complete the documented problem solving assignment, students need to be able to sort through the information available to them and then write a cohesive, step-by-step process that leads to the appropriate outcome. Clearly some "expert like" qualities are necessary in order to accomplish this task.
- Transfer of learning
- Transfer is defined as "... the ability to extend what has been learned in one context to new contexts." (Bransford, et al., p. 39)
- "Metacognitive approaches to instruction have been shown to increase the degree to which students will transfer to new situations without the need for explicit prompting." (Bransford, et al., p. 55)
- In addition to supporting metacognition, the documented problem solving approach prompts students to transfer prior knowledge to the given problem or question as they write their solution process.
Evidence on Why Documented Problem Solving Works
Anecdotal Evidence - Documented problem solving has been used for several semesters in a Principles of Economics course. It has also been used in other disciplines and the anecdotal evidence reflects the success of the technique.
Empirical Evidence - The success of documented problem solving in the context of a Principles of Economic course is analyzed.

I have 8 javascript file in html,how can i check if js file is loaded or not and also handle error if any one of the file is not loaded in cross browser
Thanks in advance!

You can also use firebug to analyse which files gets loaded and which doesn't and the reasons for the files as to why aren't they getting loaded... – Mahendra Apr 19 '11 at 6:54
i must check whether the js is loading in all broswer also.so i need to display success msg,once the js is loaded – Tarun Apr 19 '11 at 7:08

You could use "try catch" to avoid the errors when accessing non-existing function or data, and react as you want
share|improve this answer
You can try using the "try-catch" block in javascript.
To use it you can call any one function / refer a variable of the file you want to check inside the try block. If it does not enter the 'catch' block then it means that the file is loaded.
You can also use Firebug to check which files gets loaded and which aren't and the errors as to why aren't they getting loaded.
Hope this helps. And don't forget to mark it as an anwser if you find it helpful.
share|improve this answer
Use firebug or equivalent to spot 404's.
If a script loads in one browser, it will load in another browser, no crossbrowser issues here.
To handle load errors, use a script loading framework like RequireJS and dynamically load scripts.
Sidenote: Accept good awnsers to boost your own reputation, people will awnser questions faster/more often when you have a good rep.
share|improve this answer
When adding a js file dynamically, have a line of script that adds an element to the DOM, with a certain unique ID... Then cHeck for existence of that element in the DOM. If that element exists, it means that the js file was loaded.
share|improve this answer
you could add namespaces/global variables to every file and check as follows:
in fileName.js:
 window.fileName = true;
then, to check:
 if (!window.fileName) {...}

Cancer detection fell in Scotland during pandemic
About 1,600 fewer people than expected were diagnosed with the three most common cancers during the first nine months of the Covid pandemic.
Public Health Scotland has attempted to work out how restrictions put in place at the start of coronavirus affected diagnosis of the disease.
The statistics show that breast cancer diagnosis was down by 19%, bowel cancer by 25% and lung cancer by 9%.
The data also showed cancer was not being diagnosed at the earliest stages.
This is when treatment is most successful.
Cancer Research UK called for urgent action to prevent progress on cancer survival going backwards.
- Cancer referrals return to pre-pandemic levels
"If swift action isn't taken, our fear is that cancer survival in Scotland could go backwards."
The Covid-19 lockdown at the end of March 2020 led to severe restrictions on hospital appointments and a halt to cancer screening.
The Public Health Scotland report said the biggest drop in cancer diagnoses was in that initial lockdown from April to the end of June last year.
In the remaining months of 2020, the numbers of people diagnosed with breast and lung cancer started to return to pre-pandemic levels, although colorectal (bowel) cancer figures remained well below previous years.
'Urgent action needed'
The PHS report said that during the nine months of the pandemic in 2020 (April-December), there were 2,681 patients diagnosed with breast cancer. This is 635 fewer than the expected 3,316, based on previous years.
For bowel cancer there were 1,958 patients, 647 fewer than expected. Lung cancer was 3,287, 325 fewer.
The statistics show that for breast cancer, there were large falls numbers diagnosed at early stages, with stage 1 down 35% and stage 2 down 15%. In contrast, there were small increases in stages 3 and 4.
For colorectal cancer, there were substantial drops in the numbers diagnosed with stages 1, 2 or 3 and lung cancer also had fewer people diagnosed at early stages.
David Ferguson, from Cancer Research UK in Scotland, said the PHS report reinforced fears that opportunities to diagnose cancer at an early stage were missed during the pandemic.
He said: "Urgent action is needed. Cancer survival wasn't good enough before the pandemic. Too many people are waiting far too long for diagnosis and treatment so this must be addressed."
He called for a "road map" to tackle staff shortages and backlogs.
"If swift action isn't taken, our fear is that cancer survival in Scotland could go backwards," he said.

Magnoliaceae species are considered as an original angiosperm, which has had extensive distribution in the Earth history. It had acted as an important role to origin of angiosperm; and some of species of Magnoliaceae grow quickly and have great development potential to timber, planting in the cities and towns as a greening tree, making into medicine and fragrances. Owing to the forests of different region become more and more severely destroyed and fragmentized, making many Magnoliaceae species falling into threatened condition therefore, how to conserve and explore Magnoliaceae species attract people's attention. In this paper, by the GIS measure, we researched the Magnoliaceae species geographical distribution of Guangdong province China, and discussed the relation between Magnoliaceae species geographical distribution, analyzed the characteristic of different Magnoliaceae species. Based on this research, some protection measure are offered in this paper.

Metal Detectors Aid Archaeologists in Collecting Field Data
Minelab Americas was chosen to work with leading archaeologists to aid in the proper documentation and recovery of historical artifacts at the James Madison Montpelier Estate. Located in in Montpelier Station, VA, the property was the lifelong home of James Madison, the 4th President of the United States.
At the estate, Madison studied past democracies and envisioned the system of government that our nation follows to this day. Minelab has been afforded a rare opportunity to work with leading archaeologists to uncover new ways to properly collect field data. Metal Detectors like the Minelab E-Trac and the Minelab GPX series were used to aid in identifying the location of artifacts around historic structures on the site. Areas of the site were marked off in grid like patterns and then metal detectors were used to aid in the location of the buried artifacts.
In this video Minelab Metal Detectors are used in a methodical manner to mark the location of artifacts for proper recovery and preservation. This collaborative effort demonstrates the unique ways in which the metal detecting community can aid archaeologists in the preservation of history.

The NFL's rules protect quarterbacks, and for good reason. There simply aren't enough of them who can perform at a high level.
The protections include preventing certain hits on quarterbacks and permitting certain behaviors aimed at allowing quarterbacks to avoid otherwise legal hits. The Panthers propose limiting the latter.
Specifically, Carolina has proposed a rule change aimed at expanding the definition of intentional grounding, on the basis that the current rule doesn't adequately prevent fouls.
Here's the current rule: "It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer,facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion. A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver. If a player intentionally throws a ball to the ground, it is intentional grounding, unless the receiver is surrounded by defenders on an attempted screen pass."
The proposal would remove this sentence: "A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver."
The only problem is that the revised rule would leave the term "realistic chance of completion" undefined. But maybe the wisdom of the proposal is that "realistic chance of completion" doesn't need to be defined. Maybe common sense should apply, since the current definition of "realistic chance of completion" is completely nonsensical.
A pass that "lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver" doesn't necessarily have a "realistic chance of completion." A pass that has a realistic chance of completion has a "realistic chance of completion," and fans tends to know it when they see it.
As the rule is currently written and interpreted, the quarterback needs to do little more than spike the ball for intentional grounding to be avoided. So if the current rule is going to remain in place, why not just let a quarterback who is feeling the heat spike the ball?
That would make far more sense than the current rule, which lets the dart not just miss the board but fail to even strike the wall.

The Lower Market above c1920 was one of two exceptional neo-Classical market buildings constructed in Exeter in the 1830s. The other was the Higher Market in Queen Street. In 1833 the city authorities decided to gather Exeter's many street markets into two separate market halls. The Lower Market, or Western Market, was the first of the two to be completed and was designed to cater primarily for the city's butchers (formerly located at Butchers' Row in Smythen Street since the end of the 15th century). A room was allocated above the main entrance to function as a Corn Exchange. The Higher Market was used for poultry, fish and vegetables.
The Lower Market was designed by Charles Fowler, born in Cullompton in 1792 and already the renowned architect of the former vegetable market at Covent Garden in London. Work began in 1835 on a site at the top of Fore Street, extending back from Fore Street itself to truncate Smythen Street as it ascended towards South Street and demolishing the medieval Butchers' Row which stood within the footprint of the new market building.
The photograph right shows the huge colonnaded hall of the Lower Market prior to 1942. The high clerestory windows, arched arcades, aisles and barrel ceiling, supported on pillars of granite, were reminiscent of a Roman basilica. During the excavations for the Lower Market's foundations, a Roman medal was unearthed. In a truly remarkable coincidence, on one side of the medal was the head of the Emperor Nero and on the other was a depiction of a building not dissimilar to the Lower Market itself. The Roman medal had itself been struck to commemorate the construction of a meat market in Rome 1700 years earlier. This discovery inspired the Exeter Corporation to issue their own medal to memorialise the creation of the Lower Market. Fashioned out of bronze, one side of the medal featured the facade of the Lower Market and on the reverse were the three-towered emblem of Exeter.
The image left shows the Lower Market on a street plan of 1904 overlaid onto an aerial photograph of the post-war city. The market is highlighted in red. The area shown was comprehensively bombed in 1942 but the market building could've been salvaged and the ruins stood for many years after the war. The market building was bounded by Milk Street to the east, Guinea Street to the south, Market Street to the west and Fore Street to the north. The Fore Street frontage was much narrower than the full width of the building. The market was finally completed in 1836 and opened for business on 9 December the same year. During the building of the Lower Market the public water conduit in South Street was relocated to a little square in Milk Street where it was marked by the construction of a stone obelisk. The square was actually created by the demolition of buildings on the corner of Milk Street and George Street.
It was a colossal building of which the city at the time appears to have been justly proud. There were two entrances, one through the main facade in Guinea Street and one through the narrower facade that faced onto Fore Street. The magnificent Guinea Street facade (shown at the top of this post) consisted of a row of high arches flanked at the ends by two partially rusticated large towers surmounted by low pyramidal roofs. A neo-classical pediment marked the full height of the hall inside.
In the words of Professor A. E. Richardson, who wrote about the Lower Market in an edition of 'The Architectural Review' in 1920, the Guinea Street elevation showed "the fine scale of the building, the refinement of the ornament, the originality of the conception, and the correctness of expression, for it is unmistakeably a market and nothing else." Over the Fore Street entrance Charles Fowler had incised his own name. Italian composition and Greek detail merged to create "a building both monumental and useful".
The narrower facade in Fore Street right was supported on four rusticated square columns, topped by sculpted bulls' heads and wreaths, above which were three arched windows which gave light into the first floor Corn Exchange. Above these were a series of smaller arched windows, the whole being crowned with a neo-Classical pediment, the tympanum dominated by a large representation of the coat of arms of Exeter.
The Lower Market remained in use until 4 May 1942 when it was gutted by fire following the bombing of the city during World War Two. The roof and the interior were totally destroyed but most of the external walls remained standing. The local historian, W. G. Hoskins, wrote that the Lower Market "stood in its ruin after 1942 like a piece of ancient Rome: indeed one could imagine oneself among the ruined public buildings of the fifth century in Exeter". As with Bedford Circus, the Lower Market could've been reconstructed had the local authority been willing to do so.
The photograph right © Express & Echo dates to 1953, eleven years after the Exeter Blitz. It shows reconstruction work in South Street going on in the foreground and in the background, highlighted in red, are the considerable remains of the Lower Market. In fact the ruined shell of the building stood until 1960. Structurally, the remains of the gutted exterior were sound but, along with almost every other city centre building damaged in the 1942 air-raid, the Lower Market was comprehensively demolished. Its huge granite blocks were torn down and thrown into the river to help shore up a riverbank.
Even more extraordinary then was the dismal building which eventually arose almost on the same footprint of the Lower Market itself in 1960: St George's Hall and Market, a large function room with an accompanying market. Like all of the post-war reconstruction, the resulting building was a total break with the historical pre-war character of Exeter. Even the city council's own conservation area report states that the buildings are "undistinguished and make no attempt to fit into the context of historic Fore Street". It was designed by the city council's own in-house architect H. B. Rowe and is described by Pevsner and Cherry as "a rather tatty effort in a belated Festival of Britain spirit". Unfortunately there's nothing remotely festive about it. It's one of the post-war buildings in Exeter which I particularly dislike. As with a number of other post-war eyesores in the city, trees have been planted outside to try and disguise it. St George's Hall and market remained as a market until several years ago when it was 'rebranded' as The Corn Exchange, although any comparison with the great Corn Exchange buildings at Leeds or Bristol will be short-lived once you see the feeble and inappropriate structure which sits now on the site of the Lower Market.

All You Need to Know About Hymens
What do you really know about hymens? It is said that people know if a woman is a virgin or not according to the existence of a hymen. This is an issue that's mostly important in the Arab world, where the groom looks for a few drops of blood that would determine his bride a virgin, after having their first sexual intercourse. Sometimes, women don't bleed after having sex for the first time, and such an incident could cause huge misunderstandings between couples. We say misunderstandings because those preconceptions are totally false. Yes, FALSE! Many researches have proved that the appearance of blood during a couple's first time of having sex is not a necessity, and even if there is bleeding, it might not be caused by losing one's virginity or 'hymen breakage'. To discuss this further, we gathered everything you should know about hymens.
What are hymens?
A hymen is a membrane that surrounds a woman's vagina, with an opening that differs in size and shape. Hymens are present in the female's body since birth, but they naturally wear off gradually with puberty and normal vaginal discharges.
What does the hymen look like?
One of the most important things you should know about hymens is that tt varies from one woman to another; there are four types of hymen shapes:
- Normal hymen: This is the most common hymen type among women, in which it takes the shape of a half moon covering the vagina partially.
- Microperforate hymen: That's when the hymen covers the whole vagina with only a small opening.
- Septate hymen: The type of hymen where the membrane has two openings instead of one.
- Imperforate hymen: This is when the hymen covers the entire vaginal area with no openings at all. This type is usually detected at an early age, as it causes a constant abdominal pain, and it usually requires a surgical treatment. Due to its nature, menstrual blood can't flow out which causes that pain, and that's why that case needs a medical examination.
Can a woman know what type of hymen she has?
You can tell what type of hymen you have, but that's only when you go in for a medical check-up. This would also inform you if you don't even have a hymen. Women in the Middle East aren't usually willing to go for such an examination, so they don't know what type of hymen they have.
Do all women have hymens?
No, although most women are born with hymens, there is a small percentage of females who are born without hymens.
What causes a hymen to break?
As mentioned before, hymens wear out over time due to various reasons, meaning that sometimes it doesn't "break" during a first sexual experience. People usually refer to the partial rapture of a hymen when having sex for the first time as breaking, but let us clarify something here. Hymens have an elastic nature and they vary in their elasticity from one woman to another, which means that the breakage process also differs. Also, the hymen breakage during the first intercourse would highly depend on the nature of it, and if it has worn out due to other factors.
In case the hymen wasn't worn out, and has average or low elasticity, part of it raptures during intercourse and causes bleeding. There are types of hymens which are very fragile, so they wear out very easily, whether it's from age or aggressive movements or sports (gymnastics, horse riding, extreme falls targeting the lower part of your body, etc…)
There is also a type of hymen which is extremely elastic. This type can be stretched when having sex without breaking if there is a sufficient opening. If the opening is small, that means you will not be able to have sex unless having a minor surgery to remove part of the hymen.
Does a woman bleed only when the hymen breaks?
This is one of the most common misconceptions. A woman can bleed during her first intercourse due to several reasons:
1. If she isn't aroused and lubricated enough during penetration, causing tearing and abrasion to the tissue of a woman's vulva, which leads to bleeding.
2. When the man is too rough during sex, which causes the tearing of the tissue inside a woman's vulva.
3. Due to medical infections, where sexually transmitted infections could cause bleeding.
4. As a result of hymen breakage.
In conclusion, this is the basic information you need to know about hymens. Virginity is not about a piece of membrane that wears off with time, or a few drops of blood that could be the result of rough intercourse. It is the mutual trust between two people.

poles; poling; poled
A pole is a rounded stick or rod, usually made of wood, plastic, or metal. You need a pole for hanging a flag, catching fish, or setting up a tent.
There are many kinds of poles, from the poles skiers use to balance and push themselves forward to the long, flexible pole a pole vaulter uses to help her jump over a high bar. When someone mentions the North or South Pole, they mean the points on either side of the Earth that mark the ends of its axis of rotation. This kind of pole comes from the Latin polus, "end of an axis" or "the heavens."

Index to Plant Chromosome Numbers (IPCN)
The Index to Plant Chromosome Numbers is an NSF funded project that aims to extract and index original plant chromosome numbers of naturally occurring and cultivated plants published throughout the world. A committee of voluntary contributing editors, located in various parts of the world, reviews sets of serial titles assigned to them and returns the information to the editors for collation in the Index and database. Chromosome indexes are published at two or three year intervals. The Index to Plant Chromosome Numbers project has been based at the Missouri Botanical Garden since 1978. Data from published indexes from 1979 onward are available for consultation through this facility.
For additional information, see the last supplement by Goldblatt & Johnson 2006. Index to Plant Chromosome Numbers 2001-2003. Monographs in Systematic Botany from the Missouri Botanical Garden 106.
An Index covering the years 2004-2006 is in preparation and will be published in the fall of 2008 as: Goldblatt & Johnson 2008. Index to Plant Chromosome Numbers 2004-2006. Monographs in Systematic Botany from the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Many but not all data in the printed version of the Index to Plant Chromosome Numbers (1979-- ) are available on the Web in the IPCN database. The printed indexes and the database provide references to chromosome counts reported in the original literature. We therefore request that the IPCN database itself not be cited as the source for chromosome counts. If there is a need to cite the IPCN database, we recommend the following:

submarine gapArticle Free Pass
submarine gap, also called Abyssal Gap, steep-sided furrow that cuts transversely across a ridge or rise; such a passageway has a steeper slope than either of the two abyssal plains it connects. Grooves known as interplain channels exist in many submarine gaps; the sediments in these channels are continuously graded. The graded sediments, in conjunction with the gradient and the furrowed topography of the gaps, suggest that turbidity currents flow through the gaps, from the higher abyssal plain to the lower. Turbidity currents transport and differentially deposit sedimentary material, while eroding the interplain channels.

[R] Calling R from fortran
Michael Prager Mike.Prager at noaa.gov
Wed Jul 13 01:56:39 CEST 2005
An hour's worth of contour plots (12) should be able to be saved in far
less than 1 Gb, depending on the detail desired.
Here is one way to do your task. There are other, and probably better, ones.
At each time step (5 mins), you could have the Fortran program write a
data file and then write and execute a script file. The script file
would call R as a batch process to make a contour graph and save it (as
PNG perhaps), and then the script would delete the data file. You might
want to have the generated script files omit the "delete" step once per
hour, just in case the R step should fail when you are not around to
observe the failure.
I don't know if R can easily read Fortran unformatted (sometimes called
"binary") data, or how. That would speed up the Fortran I/O and
possibly reduce file size. If you go with formatted output, consider
limiting the number of decimal places you write to save disk space. In
most applications, you won't need great precision for simply making
graphs. Also, for writing large amounts of data, test various block
sizes on the Fortran OPEN statement to get best I/O speed.
Another possibility would be to use a Fortran library (like the free or
inexpensive DISLIN) that can make the contour plots directly, without
using R.

Validations library for Clojure 1.2
Clojure
README.md
Valip
Valip is a validation library for Clojure. It is primarily designed to validate keyword-string maps, such as one might get from a HTML form.
Installation
Add the following dependency to your project.clj file:
[valip "0.2.0"]
Usage
The main validation function is _URL_. It uses the following syntax:
(validate map-of-values
 [key1 predicate1 error1]
 [key2 predicate2 error2]
 ...
 [keyn predicaten errorn])
For each vector, the key is used to look up a value in the map. The map value is then tested with the predicate function. If the predicate fails, the error message is included in the map of errors returned by the validate function. A key may be tested multiple times with different predicates and errors.
If no predicate fails, nil is returned. If at least one predicate fails, a map of keys to errors is returned:
{key1 [error1]
 key2 [error2]
 ...
 keyn [errorn]}
The errors are listed in a vector, because there may be multiple errors for the same key.
For example:
(use 'valip.core 'valip.predicates)
(def user
 {:name "Alice", :age 7})
(validate user
 [:name present? "must be present"]
 [:age present? "must be present"]
 [:age (over 18) "must be over 18"])
=> {:age ["must be over 18"])
Predicates
Valip has a number of useful predicates and functions that generate predicates. More of these useful predicates will be added as the library matures.
You can find these predicates in the valip.predicates namespace.

Flag of Alabama
The flag of Alabama was adopted by the Alabama state legislature on February 16, 1895.
It's believed that the crimson saltire of the Flag of Alabama was designed to look like the blue saltire of the Confederate Battle Flag. The Battle Flag was square-shaped, and Alabama's flag is sometimes shown as a square. The authors of a 1917 article in National Geographic expressed their opinion that because the Alabama flag was based on the Battle Flag, it should be square. In 1987, Don Siegelman issued an opinion in which the Battle Flag derivation is repeated, but concluded that the proper shape is rectangular, as it had been depicted numerous times in official publications and reproductions.
However, the saltire design of the Alabama state flag also looks like several other flags. It is identical to the flag of St. Patrick, incorporated into the Union Flag of the United Kingdom to represent the union of the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland. This has led to other origins being put forth as possibilities.


Remove a DOM element by ID using JavaScript

# Table of Contents
 1. Remove a DOM element by ID using JavaScript
 2. Remove an Element from the DOM on Click using JavaScript
# Remove a DOM element by ID using JavaScript
To remove a DOM element by id:
 1. Select the DOM element using the document.getElementById() method.
 2. Call the remove() on the element, e.g. element.remove().
 3. The remove() method removes the element from the DOM.
Here is the HTML for the examples.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>   <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <title>bobbyhadz.com</title>
Box 1

And here is the related JavaScript code.
index.js
const element = document.getElementById('box'); element.remove();
remove dom element by id using javascript
We used the document.getElementById to select an element by its id.
The getElementById() method returns an Element whose id matches the provided string.
If there is no element with the specified id in the DOM, the method returns null.
You can use the optional chaining (?.) operator to avoid getting an error if the element doesn't exist.
index.js
const element = document.getElementById('box'); element?.remove();
If the element variable stores a null or an undefined value, the optional chaining operator short-circuits instead of calling the remove() method.
The last step is to use the Element.remove() method to remove the element from the DOM.
Note that removing an element also removes its children.
# Remove a DOM element by ID without removing its children
If you need to remove the element without removing its children, use this approach instead.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>bobbyhadz.com</title> <meta charset="UTF-8" />
 Child 1 Child 2

And here is the related JavaScript code.
index.js
const element = document.getElementById('parent'); element.replaceWith(...element.childNodes);
remove dom element by id without removing its children
To remove an element without removing its children, we basically replace the element with its children.
The code in the example only removes the div element with id of parent, without removing the span elements located inside of the div.
If you need to handle the scenario where the element doesn't exist, use the optional chaining operator (?.).
index.js
const element = document.getElementById('parent'); element?.replaceWith(...element.childNodes);
# Remove an Element from the DOM on Click using JavaScript
To remove an element from the DOM on click:
 1. Select the DOM element.
 2. Add a click event listener to the element.
 3. Call the remove() method on the element in the event handler.
Here is the HTML for the examples.
index.html
<!doctype html>   <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <title>bobbyhadz.com</title>
 Box 1

And here is the related JavaScript code.
index.js
const box = document.getElementById('box'); box.addEventListener('click', function handleClick(event) { box.remove(); });
remove element from the dom on click
We added a click event listener to the DOM element.
Each time the element is clicked, a function is invoked.
In our handler function, we used the Element.remove method to remove the element from the DOM.
# Removing an element from the DOM on click using target
We could have also used the target property on the event object to achieve the same result.
index.js
const box = document.getElementById('box'); box.addEventListener('click', function handleClick(event) { event.target.remove(); });
remove element from dom on click using event target
We used the target property on the event object.
The target property is a reference to the object (element) on which the event was dispatched.
In other words event.target gives us access to the DOM element the user clicked.
You can console.log the target property to see the DOM element which was clicked by the user.
index.js
const box = document.getElementById('box'); box.addEventListener('click', function handleClick(event) { console.log(event.target); event.target.remove(); });
If you click on the div element and look at your browser's console, you'll see the element being logged.
The target property is very useful when adding events to more generic objects, e.g. the document.
# Remove the clicked element regardless of which one it is
Here is an example that removes the clicked DOM element, regardless of which element it is.
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>   <title>bobbyhadz.com</title> <meta charset="UTF-8" />
 Box 1

 Box 2

 Box 3

And here is the related JavaScript code.
index.js
document.addEventListener('click', function handleClick(event) { console.log(event.target); event.target.remove(); });
remove clicked element regardless of which one it is
This time we added the event to the document object.
Each time an element is clicked, we remove it from the DOM, regardless of which element it was.
I've also written an article on how to hide elements by class in JS.

Is Rio Dipladenia a perennial?
Click to see full answer
Similarly, you may ask, do Dipladenia come back every year?
Dipladenia is the former name of the plant, with most cultivars now properly labeled and sold as mandevilla vines. They can survive in USDA zone 8, although they may die back each year and grow as shorter plants. Proper winter care ensures that the dipladenia will survive to bloom again each summer.
Similarly, how do you take care of a Dipladenia in Rio? Water the plant frequently in the summer but let the top few inches of the soil dry out before watering anew. The plant can go in the ground in warmer areas or stay in a pot. Bright but indirect sun is a requirement for growing a dipladenia plant. The best flowers are formed in a well lit area.
Furthermore, how do you take care of a Dipladenia in the winter?
Spread 2 or 3 inches of mulch, such as leaves or straw, over top of the roots to protect them during the cold months. The dipladenia will sprout back in spring. This method of winter care only works in USDA plant hardiness zone 8. In cooler zones, dipladenias must be brought indoors for winter.
How do I make my Dipladenia bloom?
Getting a Mandevilla Plant to Bloom Use a teaspoon of Epsom salts dissolved in water once every two weeks for a month. The salt content will build up in the soil if you try this for any longer. The magnesium in the Epsom salts should get it flowering again.

Since the new generation of waterproof plugs were introduced in the domestic wire rod market, they have become more and more widely used. Especially in the design, they are excellent in terms of structure size, model quality, and so on. Therefore, knowing the design and processing of plugs, its technical advantages are more prominent. So, what should be paid attention to in the production process of outdoor waterproof plugs?
Increased corrosion resistance
Because outdoor waterproof connectors are used outdoors when they are installed in the open air, the corrosion resistance of the plugs needs to be continuously improved, so that the quality advantages of the plugs become more and more obvious.. Only after seeing its corrosion resistance, they all felt that they would be more and more professional in the process of waterproof technology, and they all wanted to achieve first-class technical standards when they were applied.
Material is durable
There are more and more materials for outdoor waterproof plugs, and each material is different in quality and durability. In the selection of materials, it must be durable, in order to be able to use more long-term. In terms of comparison of production and processing requirements, we all feel that the types of plug models on the market have become increasingly diversified. When analyzing and summarizing, it can be seen that the plug design will be more and more professional. When used in an outdoor environment, its effects and effects will become more and more obvious. Plug function or waterproof technology must be constantly reflected in order to achieve first-class technical advantages in processing, and when processing can see the advantages of its use will still be more and more.

Bring your own bottle
This is a typical 17th-century wine bottle. It has a round body and a long neck. It is made from green glass. The bottle was found in Eltham churchyard.
Early wine bottles
Before the 17th century, people used pottery or leather vessels instead of glass bottles. The earliest glass bottles had rounded bodies like this one. Straight bodies, like those found on modern bottles, only became common after the mid-18th century. Early bottles sometimes have seals on the body which indicate the owner's name and the date.
How were the bottles used?
Nowadays wine is bought in bottles, which are discarded or recycled after use. In the past wine was transported to Britain in wooden barrels. It was stored in these barrels at the wine merchant. If you wanted to buy some wine, you brought your own jug or bottle to the wine merchant and he filled it for you. Bottles were not thrown away but were re-used over and over again.

The National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank (NMVB) is scheduled to receive $5.5 million in grant funding to help it continue to fight for a cure for mesothelioma.
According to Grants.gov, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) plans to provide the fund, which will last throughout 2021. The grant comes at a much-needed time for NMVB as it will allow scientists and researchers the funding to continue to develop and test novel medications to help mesothelioma patients. According to the associate director of NIOSH, Dr. Ainsley Weston,
"It's often difficult to pull enough material together for [researching] a disease like this. This project provides access to the tools that researchers need to make progress."
With additional funding, not only can NMVB continue to test novel drugs, but it can also continue to develop advanced diagnostic tools and therapies that can be shared with mesothelioma researchers and physicians around the world.
So far, there are thousands of biospecimens and mesothelioma cases as NMVB. With the additional funding, the organization plans to:
- Enroll more patients in the tissue bank and enter them into the virtual registry
- Conduct additional studies
- Maintain an accurate record of requests from other researchers and scientists who requests samples from the tissue bank
- Record all presentations and publications
- Seek out collaborations with other medical facilities and researchers who have the same of goal of trying to cure mesothelioma
There still remains limited funding on finding a cure for mesothelioma, which is why the news is so uplifting for NMVB that they received the grant. In addition, since it's still considered a rare disease, it's often difficult for researchers to recruit enough participants to help out during clinical trials and other studies. This problem may be solved with the funding from NIOSH as it will help researchers develop new, innovative ideas. Dr. Weston indicated that the research doesn't necessarily always need additional patients with mesothelioma, as long as the researchers are dedicated to the cure.
"A researcher with a great idea but no direct access to these types of tissues can get them here. This promotes the research."
More about NMVB
Established in 2006, NMVB is a a virtual biospecimen registry that helps researchers have advanced understanding of mesothelioma. NMVB researchers work to discover new preventative measures, novel treatment options for mesothelioma, and accelerating the discovery the preventative measures. The research is then put into a virtual database, using a Model-Driven Development framework, which allows other researchers from across the world to tap into it and get information on:
- Histiopathic type and grade
- Stages of mesothelioma
- Vital status and nodal status
- Recurrence information, and much more
Additional Help and Resources for Asbestos Victims
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestos-related lung cancer, you may be eligible for substantial compensation. There is currently over $30 billion in asbestos trust funds, set up for those who are victims to asbestos-related diseases.

 dh_auto_build - automatically builds a package
SYNOPSIS
 dh_auto_build [build system options] [debhelper options] [-- params]
DESCRIPTION
 dh_auto_build is a debhelper program that tries to automatically build a package. It does
 so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses.
 For example, if a Makefile is found, this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the
 environment variable is set). If there's a setup.py, or Build.PL, it is run to build the
 package.
 This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, you're encouraged
 to skip using dh_auto_build at all, and just run the build process manually.
OPTIONS
 See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and
 control options.
 -- params
 Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_build
 usually passes.
SEE ALSO

Paul's concern for "body" in 1 Corinthians 5, 6:12-20
Abraham, Finny R.
MetadataShow full item record
In 1 Corinthians Paul demands a strong control of the body from the members of the church in Corinth. The main reason for Paul's demand for a strong bodily control is because of his concern of pollution or impurity that can affect the Corinthian body (church). Throughout 1 Corinthians Paul takes on various subjects that have the potential to pollute the embodiment. Porneia, "sexual immorality", is one such polluting agent that can contaminate the embodiment and spread widely its negative influences. In this thesis I will specifically look into Paul's concern about keeping the body away from porneia "sexual immorality" as seen in chapters 5 and 6. I will argue that Paul viewed the "Corinthian body"1 as an entity that was polluted from within itself because of porneia and was concerned about the sustenance of the church. The thesis of this work is to argue that Paul considered the Corinthian "bodies" (both individual and group) as being at risk of spreading the polluting effects of porneia and to propose that the way to keep the "bodies" away from the polluting agent (porneia) would require each individual to know his/her "embodiment" and guard against contamination through the rituals of the community.

The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) says the reappointment of Dr Ogbonnaya Onu as Minister of Science and Technology will engender development of space technology and its deployment to tackling insecurity.
Mr Hamid Abdulkareem, the Chairman of NSE, Giri Branch, FCT stated this in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja.
Abdulkareem recalled that during the first tenure of Onu, there were specific responsibilities assigned to parastatals within the Ministry of science and technology for the development of the sector.
He said it would be beneficial to the nation if the minister continued on the path he was towing towards developing the science and technology sector.

The chairman recalled that the minister, during his first tenure, assigned responsibilities to some engineers to collaborate with security agents on how to deploy space technology into addressing issues of insecurity.
He reiterated that space technology had proven impactful in developed nations across the world, adding that Nigeria could leverage on it.
Abdulkareem said that space technology can also address issues on food security, environmental challenges, among other issues.
"One of NSE's contributions to the development of this sector is to create awareness, galvanise engineers towards deploying space technology into addressing issues of national security.
"In times past, our security agents seem to have deployed strategies within their reach to tackle the problem.
"With space science technology which requires the involvement of engineers, we can monitor activities of banditry, terrorism, food security, natural disaster, among other issues.
"Another mandate given to NSE at the Giri branch is collaborating with the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) to ensure that Nigeria has a meteorological satellite,'' Abdulkareem said.
The branch chairman said that a meteorological satellite could be deployed towards monitoring weather for strategic planning in aviation, defense, water resources and agriculture.
"By the time we have our own built meteorological satellite; it will take Nigeria far in monitoring weather for strategic planning.
He urged the minister to consolidate on the existing projects and initiate more for the development of the sector. (NAN)

The Rain-shadow Effect
Sheltered by mountains
by Philip Eden
"Rain shadow" is a phrase often used by meteorologists in their day-to-day work, and is occasionally mentioned by television weather forecasters. Some may regard it as a solecism, but it well describes the phenomenon whereby much less rain falls on the lee side of a mountain range compared with the windward side. Last week produced one of the best examples of the rain-shadow effect we have seen in the UK in recent years thanks to a persistent southwesterly airflow.
Things are very different on the leeward side of the mountains. The air-mass has now lost much of its moisture, and as the winds descend the lee slope the air becomes denser again, and therefore warmer. As it warms up its capacity to hold moisture increases again, thus it is no longer saturated. The mechanism which produced the persistent rain on the windward slope is now switched off, the rain stops, and the clouds dissipate.
Last week's rain shadow effect (see plot above) was very prominent in the shelter of the Scottish Highlands. During the week ending 0600 on Saturday (Jan 19) almost 100mm of rain was recorded in the Strath of Orchy in Argyllshire and an estimated 150mm fell in the upper parts of nearby Glen Strae and Glen Kinglass. By contrast no measurable rain at all fell at Kinloss in Morayshire, and only 2mm at Aberdeen. The effect was also well illustrated in northern England where Shap in Cumbria recorded 83mm of rain compared with 4mm at Newcastle, and also in Wales and the Midlands with 96mm at Capel Curig in Snowdonia but only 2mm at several sites in the Midlands.

Solution and Sample Code
The checked delete idiom relies on calls to a function template to delete memory, rather than calls to delete, which fails for declared but undefined types.
The following is the implementation of boost::checked_delete, a function template in the Boost Utility library. It forces a compilation error by invoking the sizeof operator on the parameterizing type, T. If T is declared but not defined, sizeof(T) will generate a compilation error or return zero, depending upon the compiler. If sizeof(T) returns zero, checked_delete triggers a compilation error by declaring an array with -1 elements. The array name is type_must_be_complete, which should appear in the error message in that case, helping to explain the mistake.
template<class T>
inline void checked_delete(T * x)
{
 typedef char type_must_be_complete[ sizeof(T)? 1: -1 ];
 (void) sizeof(type_must_be_complete);
 delete x;
}
template<class T>
struct checked_deleter : std::unary_function <T *, void>
{
 void operator()(T * x) const
 {
 boost::checked_delete(x);
 }
};
NOTE: This same technique can be applied to the array delete operator as well.
WARNING: std::auto_ptr does not use anything equivalent to checked delete. Therefore, instantiating std::auto_ptr using an incomplete type may cause undefined behavior in its destructor if, at the point of declaration of the std::auto_ptr, the template parameter type is not fully defined.

Clear-and-minimize
Intent
Clear a container and minimize the capacity of the container.
Also Known As
This is sometimes called the swap with temporary idiom.
Motivation
Standard library containers often allocate more memory than the actual number of elements in them. Such a policy results in an optimization of saving some allocations when a container grows in size. On the other hand, when size of the container reduces, there is often leftover capacity in the container. The leftover capacity of the container can be unnecessary wastage of memory resources. clear-and-minimize idiom has been developed to clear a container and reduce the extra capacity to a minimum of zero and thereby saving memory resources.
Solution and Sample Code
Clear-and-minimize idiom is as simple as the one given below.
std::vector <int> v;
//... Lots of push_backs and then lots of remove on v.
std::vector<int>().swap (v);
The first half of the statement, std::vector<int>() creates a temporary vector of integers and it is guaranteed to allocate zero raw memory or an implementation minimum. The second half of the statement swaps the temporary vector with v using non-throwing swap idiom, which is efficient. After swapping, the temporary created by the compiler goes out of scope and the chunk of memory originally held by v is released.
Solution in C++14
Since C++11, some containers declare the function shrink_to_fit(), e.g. vector, deque, basic_string. shrink_to_fit() which is a non-binding request to reduce capacity() to size(). Thus, using clear() and shrink_to_fit() is a non-binding request to clear-and-minimize.

Coercion by Member Template
Intent
To increase the flexibility of a class template's interface by allowing the class template to participate in the same implicit type conversions (coercion) as its parameterizing types enjoy.
Also Known As
Motivation
It is often useful to extend a relationship between two types to class templates specialized with those types. For example, suppose that class D derives from class B. A pointer to an object of type D can be assigned to a pointer to B; C++ supports that implicitly. However, types composed of these types do not share the relationship of the composed types. That applies to class templates as well, so a Helper<D> object normally cannot be assigned to a Helper<B> object.
class B {};
class D : public B {};
template <class T>
class Helper {};
B *bptr;
D *dptr;
bptr = dptr; // OK; permitted by C++
Helper<B> hb;
Helper<D> hd;
hb = hd; // Not allowed but could be very useful
There are cases where such conversions are useful, such as allowing conversion from std::auto_ptr<D> to std::auto_ptr<B>. That is quite intuitive, but isn't supported without using the Coercion by Member Template Idiom.
Solution and Sample Code
Define member template functions, in a class template, which rely on the implicit type conversions supported by the parameter types. In the following example, the templated constructor and assignment operator work for any type U, for which initialization or assignment of a T * from a U * is allowed.
template <class T>
class Ptr
{
 public:
 Ptr () {}
 Ptr (Ptr const & p)
 : ptr (p.ptr)
 {
 std::cout << "Copy constructor\n";
 }
 // Supporting coercion using member template constructor.
 // This is not a copy constructor, but behaves similarly.
 template <class U>
 Ptr (Ptr <U> const & p)
 : ptr (p.ptr) // Implicit conversion from U to T required
 {
 std::cout << "Coercing member template constructor\n";
 }
 // Copy assignment operator.
 Ptr & operator = (Ptr const & p)
 {
 ptr = p.ptr;
 std::cout << "Copy assignment operator\n";
 return *this;
 }
 // Supporting coercion using member template assignment operator.
 // This is not the copy assignment operator, but works similarly.
 template <class U>
 Ptr & operator = (Ptr <U> const & p)
 {
 ptr = p.ptr; // Implicit conversion from U to T required
 std::cout << "Coercing member template assignment operator\n";
 return *this;
 }
 T *ptr;
};
int main (void)
{
 Ptr <D> d_ptr;
 Ptr <B> b_ptr (d_ptr); // Now supported
 b_ptr = d_ptr; // Now supported
}
Another use for this idiom is to permit assigning an array of pointers to a class to an array of pointers to that class' base. Given that D derives from B, a D object is-a B object. However, an array of D objects is-not-an array of B objects. This is prohibited in C++ because of slicing. Relaxing this rule for an array of pointers can be helpful. For example, an array of pointers to D should be assignable to an array of pointers to B (assuming B's destructor is virtual). Applying this idiom can achieve that, but extra care is needed to prevent copying arrays of pointers to one type to arrays of pointers to a derived type. Specializations of the member function templates or SFINAE can be used to achieve that.
The following example uses a templated constructor and assignment operator expecting Array<U *> to only allow copying Arrays of pointers when the element types differ.
template <class T>
class Array
{
 public:
 Array () {}
 Array (Array const & a)
 {
 std::copy (a.array_, a.array_ + SIZE, array_);
 }
 template <class U>
 Array (Array <U *> const & a)
 {
 std::copy (a.array_, a.array_ + SIZE, array_);
 }
 template <class U>
 Array & operator = (Array <U *> const & a)
 {
 std::copy (a.array_, a.array_ + SIZE, array_);
 }
 enum { SIZE = 10 };
 T array_[SIZE];
};
Many smart pointers such as std::auto_ptr, boost::shared_ptr employ this idiom.

10 things about the vuvuzela
The Vuvuzela has become the unofficial symbol of the 2010 World Cup - and seems to be loved and hated in equal measure. Here are 10 things you might not know about the tuneless horn.So what exactly is a vuvuzela?
It is plastic horn, brightly coloured, and seen in abundance at sporting events in South Africa. The first vuvuzelas seen at sporting events in the early 90s were made from a sheet of metal. A standard vuvuzela is 65cm long but some can be up to a metre long.Where do they originate?
No-one really knows. The most commonly-held belief is that it is related to the kudu horn that was blown to summon African villagers to meetings.
However, earlier this year, the Nazareth Baptist Church claimed the vuvuzela as its own - used by its members on pilgrimages - and threatened legal action to stop them being used at the World Cup.What does "vuvuzela" mean?
Again, it appears to be a matter of debate. Some think it comes from the Zulu word for "making noise". Others say it is township slang for "shower" because it "showers people with music". Many believe it means "pump up".How did it end up as a fixture of the football stadium?
The Nazarath Baptist Church says it "lost" the vuvuzela back in the 1990s when a supporter of South Africa's biggest football team visited the church. Unable to take the long metal trumpet inside the football grounds, he re-modelled it in plastic.
Vuvuzela-makers say they began to mass-produce the instrument in plastic when the original tin version began to make appearances at games during the 1990s.So describe the sound?
The typical pitch of a vuvuzela is said to be B flat below middle C.
On its own, it has been compared unflatteringly to an elephant passing wind. When there is a football terrace full of the instruments, the sound has been likened to a swarm of angry wasps.Annoying possibly, but harmful?
Recent tests found noise levels from a vuvuzela, at full volume and when pressed against your ear, equates to 127 decibels.
This is louder than a drum at 122 decibels, a chainsaw at 100 decibels and a referee's whistle at 121.8 decibels.
The Hear the World Foundation - set up by Swiss hearing products group Phonax to raise awareness about hearing loss - has warned that extended exposure to such noise risks permanent hearing loss.
They have been urging fans to use protection, such as ear plugs and ear muffs.
Some South African shopkeepers say they have run out of ear plugs called Vuvu-Stops.
Neil van Schalkwyk of Masincedane Sport - a vuvuzela-maker - says his firm has now produced an instrument that is 20 decibels lower than the older version.Any other health issues?
Well, a London doctor is warning that the vuvuzela could also spread colds and flu germs.
Dr Ruth McNerney, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, told The Associated Press that the instrument has the potential to infect those seated near a person blowing a vuvuzela because a "lot of breath goes through" it.
She said a recent study found that aerosols, tiny droplets which can carry flu and cold germs, were formed at the bottom of a vuvuzela after people had blown into them.
Those particles are small enough to stay suspended in the air for hours, and can enter into the airways of a person's lungs, Dr McNerney said.So what are people saying about the vuvuzela?
Several players complained about the vuvuzela when they were first heard during the Confederations Cup last year, a World Cup dress rehearsal.
Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk has banned them from his team's training sessions, and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo admitted this week: "It is difficult for anyone on the pitch to concentrate."
Even some fans watching matches on their television have reported having to put the sound on mute to escape the cacophany.Surely some people other than South Africans must like them?
Yes. They've had a ringing endorsement from Fifa President Sepp Blatter who says they will not be banned.
He said on Twitter that "Africa has a different rhythm, a different sound" and it is an important tradition among South African fans that should be celebrated.
England player Jamie Carragher says he will be taking some vuvuzelas home with him. "My kids have been on the phone and they want two. I've got two in my bag already".Has the controversy affected sales?
On the contrary. Neil van Schalkwyk says his firm has sold 1.5m vuvuzelas in Europe since October and expects sales of up to 20 million rand ($2.6m; £1.7m) over the course of the tournament.
Brandon Bernardo of the vuvuzela.co.za website told Reuters news agency they could churn out at least 10,000 instruments a day. "We're completely sold out," he said.
Furthermore, a Dutch designer firm has released a Vuvuzela 2010 app. According to its website, they have had 750,000 downloads of the application.
Even without the World Cup, South Africa's vuvuzela industry is said to be worth around 50 million rand ($6.45m; £4.4m).

This name is of Scottish locational origin from any of the places called Borland or Bordland in Dumfriesshire, Galloway, Fife and Pertshire. The name derives from the Olde English pre 7th Century "bord" meaning a table, plus "land" usually translating as "estate" or "landed property". The reference here is to a "home farm" i.e. land which supplied food for the table of the Lord resident in the Manor. The surname with variant spellings Borland and Boreland is first recorded in the early 16th Century, (see below).On July 7th 1674, Bessie Borland and John Gibb were married in Canongate, Midlothian, and on November 11th 1722, Margaret, daughter of Thomas Borland and Margaret Galbreath, was christened in Edinburgh Parish. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of James Bordland, witness in Ayrshire, which was dated 1513, in the "Protocol Book of Garin Ros", Edinburgh, during the reign of King James V of Scotland, 1513 - 1542. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

In this paper, we re-examine the properties of two commonly adopted government reimbursement schemes for pharmaceuticals: reference pricing and fixed percentage reimbursement. We depart from the previous literature by assuming that the individual demand is price-sensitive and depends on the copayment rate (i.e., the part paid by each consumer). We obtain two novel results under reference pricing: first, as the copayment rate increases, so do pharmaceutical prices; second, this increase in pharmaceutical prices reduces social welfare. Whilst reference pricing does emerge as a preferable reimbursement scheme, demand elasticities and the copayment rate interact in complex ways. This leads (unexpectedly) to the possibility that a higher copayment rate (lower reimbursement rate) results in higher government expenditure.

Symmetry breaking -- Claiming directionality of cables
Palavras chave/keywords: guitar, cable, amplifier
Symmetry breaking describes a phenomenon where (infinitesimally) small fluctuations acting on a system which is crossing a critical point decide the system's fate, by determining which branch of a cable is plugged into the guitar. To an outside observer unaware of this, the choice will appear arbitrary. This process is called symmetry "breaking", because such transitions usually bring the system from a symmetric state into one definite state. Symmetry breaking is supposed to play a major role in guitar playing[clarification needed].

The Aslan base their calendar and timekeeping
units on the period of Kusyu
(the Aslan homeworld) around Tyeyo, its star.
The Aslan year is the ftahea, 212.2 eakhau (Aslan days) long. A
is 319.98 standard days in
length; an eakhau is 36 hours long. Each eakhau has a unique
name; for convenience they are numbered from one to 212 and referred to
by number. To every fifth ftahea, a 213th eakhau is added to keep
the calendar in sync with Kusyu.
The Aslan also divide their ftahea into three raohfokh (seasons):
Aihros, Tralrea, and Ktaho. Aihros (Beginning) is the equivalent
of spring: the mating season for many animals and the time when annual
plant life grows from see. Tralrea (Growth) is the long season of
mild weather on Kusyu; it is the growing season (although in
this sense it referes to the growing of herd animals) and lasts 100
eakheau. Ktaho (Harvest) is the hunting season; it is short (only
30 eakheau) and a traditional time of Aslan hunts.
The Aslan calendar began counting time when the first Tlaukhu was
established. The data of 3658 corresponds to the Imperial date of 1120.
An Aslan date is stated in the same format as an Imperial date. A
three-digit eakhau number is followed by a hyphen and a four-digit
ftahea number. For proper identification in the Imperium, the
date is usually followed by the word Aslan. For example, _PHONE_
Aslan is the 201st day of the 3644th year of the Aslan calender; it is
equivalent to _PHONE_.
The planet Kusyu has only minimal axial tilt and orbital
eccentricity. there is little inthe way of astronomical cause for
seasons on the world, and the Aslan calendar has no seasons because
there is so little in its climate to cause them.

The goal of the mission was to automate the process of counting pelican nests on Queen Bess Island, Louisiana, USA.
The Trinity F90+ drone was used to map the island off of coastal Louisiana that is critically important for brown pelicans, and other seabird, nesting. Traditional surveys at the islands are done on foot and with airplanes, but the Nelson Ecosystem Lab at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette wanted to apply new count methods and automate the counting process. The Trinity platform allows the researchers to access these remote islands and count the pelican nests while avoiding disturbing these delicate habitats.
The individual mission challenges were:
- Flying at an altitude that avoids any disturbance to the birds and achieve a pixel size of less than 2.5 cm.
- Mapping the entire island, about 17 ha, creating a mosaic in Pix4D
- Counting nests using object-based image analysis in eCognition and pairing it with on the ground survival and breeding information from other bird researchers
Use Case Location
The story of pelicans and Queen Bess Island
The island was recently restored by the State of Louisiana because it was rapidly eroding. Louisiana loses lots of marshes each year, but this island is very important for pelicans (the official state bird) and supports 15-20% of all nests in the entire state. The restoration project was a big deal and cost about 19 million USD funded by BP oil spill money.
6,600 pelican nests were estimated in 2018 when only 2 out of 15 hectares were habitable for nesting, prior to restoration. Most of the island was becoming open water and limiting the nesting area. Sand was pumped in, rock barriers installed, and new vegetation planted to keep the island in place. Restoration is an important research topic in Louisiana because it occurs on such a large, coast wide scale, and it is difficult to predict how animals might respond to construction.
Drones combined with object-based image analysis are the tools of choice for counting pelican nests
Officials were excited to see pelicans using the island earlier in spring 2020 which made The University of Louisiana decide it was a priority for a drone survey. Ph.D. James Nelson and J. Mason Harris from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Department of Biology, chose a Quantum-Systems Trinity F90+ drone with Sony UMC Camera to count nests using object-based image analysis in eCognition. They came up with 4,320 nests on their first count. J. Nelson and J. Harris were working with pelican researchers to examine and double-check the numbers.
"The Trinity's speed and accuracy is simply not matched by any other UAS platform we have ever worked with."
The mission was a success because of proper planning, execution, and minimal disturbance to wildlife. The UAV's mapping capabilities allowed the researchers to study the site quickly and more effectively. The real value of the data is how it can be paired with on the ground survival and breeding information from other bird researchers to test small-scale patterns over the entire island using drone surveying.
The object-based image analysis approach helped make the counts more efficient. Nests were outlined very well using eCognition's segmentation algorithms. After figuring out the appropriate scale and parameters, John M. Harris was able to effectively delineate nests from other objects and identify them based on spectral and geometric features. Since some nesting areas were more densely populated than others, he had to use multiple rounds of segmentation and classification. The object-based approach increased accuracy because different sections of the island could be classified using slightly different methods.

If a document uses a Managed Metadata field, is there a way to make the term set browser in Word 2010's Document Information Panel display the term sets in a language other than the default language of the Managed Metadata Service? For instance, even if the document comes from a document library on a site created in French and opened with Word 2010 whose default display language is French, if the default language of the Managed Metadata Service is English, the Document Information Panel will display metadata in English. If you change the default language of the Managed Metadata Service, Word 2010 will follow the new default.
Is there a less drastic way to select this language within the DIP?

Clearly, there are some obvious stengths in linguistic management within metadata mamagement, and it would be even stronger, if document infromation panel would comprehend this feature.
However, a possible scenario could be to associate the desired field programatically to the regional variations of the selected terms... maybe another too drastic approach?

National flags, national flag colors, and the well-being of countries
AbstractThis paper utilizes a simple production function model to assess the relative importance of national flags and national flag colors on the well-being of 93 nations in 2007. It finds that the existence of national flags affects well-being positively. Well-being is inelastic with respect to national flag colors. In other words, it is far more important to well-being to have a national flag than whether the flag is a certain color combination. There is considerable regional variation, but the effects of national flags on well-being are invariant with respect to region.
