Utilizing form reports effectively
Utilizing form reports effectively
Optimize Yeeflow form reports with sorting, filtering, and search for efficient data handling and user insights.
Updated over a week ago
Yeeflow form reports are a powerful tool for displaying and managing data from approval forms. With the ability to filter, sort, and color-code data, as well as control the visibility of fields, these reports offer great flexibility for data viewing and manipulation. This guide will help you understand how to effectively use the form report.
Configuring Display Fields
As an administrator, you can decide which fields to show or hide, as well as their order in the current data view. Follow these steps to do so:
 1. Open the form report.
 2. Click on the 'Display Fields' button present in the current data view to open a pop-up window listing all available fields.
 3. In this window, toggle on each field you want to display in the data list view as a column, and toggle off each field you wish to hide.
 4. To change the order of the displayed fields, simply click and hold on the icon at the end of each field. Drag the field up or down in the list to adjust its order.
 5. Once you are satisfied with your selections and the field order, close the pop-up window. Your changes will be saved and applied to the data view immediately.
Color Coding Rows
To enhance readability and quickly identify certain records, administrators can color-code rows based on specific conditions:
 1. Navigate to the form report and click on the 'Color' button within the current data list.
 2. This will open a pop-up window. Click the "+ Add color" button in the bottom-left to add a new color definition section.
 3. Select your desired color, then click "+ Add condition" to set the corresponding condition.
 4. If you want to add more color definitions, simply click "+ Add color" again at the bottom of the window and repeat the process.
 5. Click "Apply" in the bottom-right of the window to save and apply the settings.
Filtering Data
Users can tailor the data presented in a form report using the data filter window. Follow these steps:
 1. Open the form report and click the "Filter" button to bring up the data filters window.
 2. Click the "Add Condition" button to create a new filter condition.
 3. From the first column, select the data field you want to filter by from the dropdown list.
 4. In the second column, choose the condition such as "equals to", "greater than", "In", etc.
 5. In the third column, set the value for the condition.
 6. You can set multiple conditions, with AND or OR operators to combine these conditions. You can also use the Condition group to add multiple groups of conditions for more advanced filtering.
 7. Click the "OK" button to close the Data filters window, and apply the filters to the data.
Note:
The data filter comes with six default fields (Request title, Id, Created By, Modified By, Created Time, and Modified Time). If you need to filter data based on other fields, the form report administrator will need to add these fields to the data view's User Filters setting.

Sorting Data
The form report also allows users to sort data. To do this:
 1. Access the form report.
 2. Click the 'Sort' button to open the sorting settings window.
 3. Click the "Pick another filed" button from the bottom-left. Select the field you want to sort by and choose the sorting method, either 'Ascending' or 'Descending'.
 4. Click 'Apply' button to see the data arranged according to your chosen order.
Search data with keywords
Searching through form report data is an essential feature to quickly locate specific entries or data points, and Yeeflow offers a convenient and efficient search function for this purpose. Whether you want to search all fields or focus on a specific field, you can do so with just a few clicks. Here's how:
 1. Find the search box: On your form report page, look for the search box located at the top-right corner of the current data view.
 2. Enter your keyword: Type your keyword or phrase into the search box. The system will instantly start to filter the data view based on your input, showing you any matching records. By default, the search will include all fields in the current data view.
 3. Specify a field (optional): If you want to narrow down your search to a specific field, click the dropdown list next to the search box. This will open a dropdown menu listing all the fields included in the current data view. Choose the field you want to search within, then type your keyword or phrase into the search box.
 The search function will now only return matches from that specific field.
Using the search function in Yeeflow Form Reports allows users to quickly find relevant information without having to scroll or manually filter through large volumes of data. Remember, the search results depend on the selected field in the dropdown list next to the search box. If 'All Fields' is selected, the system will search all available fields for the entered keyword. The ability to specify a field provides more focused and efficient search results when needed.
By effectively leveraging these functionalities, both administrators and users can interact with data in a much more efficient and tailored manner, suiting their individual needs and preferences.

Offsite Detection
When measuring the power usage of laptops we need to consider the question of where the laptop is located at any point in time and hence who's power is being used to power the device. The offsite detection feature allows you to configure the eiPower agent to determine when a laptop is On-site (that is, operating within your organisation's buildings) or Off-site (such as when someone takes their computer home to do some work)
When the Off-site detection feature is enabled and configured the eiPower agent includes an On/Off site status on each power event sent to the server. Each of the eiPower saver reports contain a parameter that allows you to specify whether you want the report to include or exclude Off-site power events.
Offsite detection is configured by specifying one or more IP address ranges that contain all the IP addresses used in your organisation. For example, if your organisation uses the following subnets :
Then you would specify the following address ranges as your On-site address ranges: – –
Whenever a computer's IP address lies within one of these ranges then the computer is considered On-site, otherwise it is Off-site.
Notice that it is not necessary to specify an IP address range for each subnet in your organisation, it is only necessary to specify ranges that cover all the IP addresses. Additionally it does not matter if you specify IP ranges that cover a few IP addresses not used by your organisation – these will have no affect on the Offsite detection.
The eiPower agent only checks the IP address of the computer's ethernet and wireless network adaptors – all virtual adaptors are ignored. This ensures that a laptop that is connected via VPN to an organisation's network is not considered On-site.
The use of IP Address ranges to determine On/Off site status is a simple and effective mechanism for performing Offsite detection that does not introduce any addition network traffic.
Issue with use of Private IP Ranges
An issue can arise when an organisation uses the same IP address ranges that are typically used by home networks. In these situations, care must be taken when configuring Offsite detection to ensure that the eiPower agent does not incorrectly report devices as being On-Site when they are being used from someone's home or a public internet location.
The default configuration for your typical home modem/wireless device issues IP Addresses starting from either or Hence when a user is using their laptop at home they will generally have an IP address in the following ranges : -> ->
When the eiPower Offsite detection is configured is it important not to specify an IP Address range that includes the above IP address as doing so will cause the eiPower agent to report a computer as being On-site when it is actually being used from a user's home. Although there may be a few On-site computers that have an address in the above ranges which will get incorrectly reported as Offsite, these will be very small in number and will have a minimal affect on the report results.
Offsite Detection Changes in Adelaide Update 2
One of the major features in the Adelaide Update 2 release is an extension to the Offsite detection feature so that the eiPower agent is able to use the computer's DNS server as well as its IP address when determining if a computer is On/Off site.
The Offsite Detection Policy page has been updated to allow you to specify a list of DNS server addresses as well as the list of IP address ranges.
The agent have been updated to use the follow algorithm to determine if a computer is On/Offsite :
If the computer has no active ethernet or wireless adaptors then the computer is ON-SITE
Otherwise if one or more DNS addresses have been specified and the DNS address of the computer's ethernet or wireless adaptors is NOT in the list of DNS addresses then the computer is OFF-SITE
Otherwise if one or more IP address ranges have been specified and the IP address of the computer's ethernet or wireless adaptors is NOT within one of the IP address ranges then the computer is OFF-SITE.
Otherwise the computer is ON-SITE

In the present paper a mathematical model for a mini-channel heat exchanger is proposed. Multiobjective optimization using genetic algorithm is performed in the next step in order to obtain a set of geometrical design parameters, leading to minimum pressure drops and maximum overall heat transfer coefficient. Multiobjective optimization procedure provides a set of optimal solutions, called Pareto front, each of which is a trade-off between the objective functions and can be freely selected by the user according to the specifications of the project. A sensitivity analysis is also carried out to study the effects of different geometrical parameters on the considered functions. The whole system has been modeled based on advanced experimental correlations in matlab environment using a modular approach.

I need to access the internal binary representation of a loaded XML DOM... There are some dump functions, but I not see something like "binary buffer" (there are only "XML buffers").
My last objective is to compare byte-by-byte, the same document, before and after some black-box procedure, directly with their binary (current and cached) representations, without convertion (to XML-text representation)... So, the question,
There are a binary representation (in-memory structures) in LibXML2, to compare dump with current representations?
I need only to check if current and dumped DOMs are equivalent.
It is not a problem of comparing two distinct DOM objects, but something more easy, because not change IDs, etc. not need canonical representation (!), only need access to internal representation, because is very faster than convert to text.
Between "before and after" there are a black-box procedure, ex. a XSLT Identity transform that affects (or not) some nodes or attributes.
Alternative solution...
 1.... To develop a C function for LibXML2 that compares node-by-node the two trees, and return false if they are different: during the tree traversal, if tree structure changes, or some nodeValue changes, the algorithm stops the comparison (returning false).
 2.... Not the ideal, but helps some other algorithms: if I can access (in LibXML2) the total number of nodes or the total length or size or md5 or sha1... Only to optimize frequent cases (for my application) where the comparison will returns false, avoiding the complete comparison-procedure.
Related questions
Warning for reader using answered solutions
The problem is about "to compare before with after a back-box operation", but there are two kinds of back-boxes here:
 - Well-known and controllable ones, like XSLT transforms or use of a known library. You must known that your black-boxes will not change attribute order or ID content or denormalize spaces (or etc.).
 - Full-free ones, like use of a external editor (ex. online-editor changing a XHTML), where user and software can do anything.
I will use a solution in a context of "well-known" black-box. So, my comments at "Details" section above, are valid.
In a context of "full-free" back-boxes, you can not to use a "comparison of binary dumps", because only a canonical representation (C14N) is valid to compare. To compare by C14N-criteria, only "Alternative solutions" (commented above) are possible. For alternative-1, you must, among other things, sort before compare a set of attribute-nodes. For alternative-2 (also discussed here), to generate the C14N dumps.
PS: of course, use of the C14N criteria is subjective, depends on application: if, p. ex., for your appication "change attribute order" is a valid/important change, the comparasion that detects it is valid (!).

You do know that XML is a text format, so the binary representation would just be a sequence of characters in whatever encoding the XML is in. – Joachim Pileborg Jul 24 at 17:42
_USER_, yes, the nodes are "text nodes", but there are no (binary) tree representation? I think there are (!)... I not see there (some graphic documentation?) what the name of the C data-structure for this main tree, that is distinct from a "XML-text dump". – Peter Krauss Jul 24 at 17:44
Yes there is a binary representation, and if the XML is UTF-8 encoded the binary representation is a sequence of UTF-8 code points. What would the binary representation of e.g. some data be if not the binary representation of the characters making up the XML, in other words the characters themselves. – Joachim Pileborg Jul 24 at 17:50
Or do you mean the actual in-memory structures that libxml2 uses? – Joachim Pileborg Jul 24 at 17:51
You can't do a byte-by-byte comparison of the internal representation of two DOM documents to see if they're the same. Two DOM documents created from the exact same XML document will compare differently because of various bits of data used in the internal representation (like pointers) are specific to the particular DOM document instance. – Ross Ridge Jul 24 at 18:00

Fire Alarm Basics: What Is Cellular Monitoring and How Does It Work?
There are a number of ways to receive the alarms at a monitoring station. These are divided into two categories of monitoring: active and passive.

Passive alarm monitoring relies on your facility checking in once daily to the signals receiving center and acknowledging their presence on the network. This can be done in the form of a digital dialer or phone line, cellular and IP. It can be slightly less secure than active monitoring in that breaks in the communication pathway for any reason such as cuts in the telephone line will not be noted until the facility misses its next scheduled reporting period.

If there is a desire or a requirement to have a higher level of security, something called dual-path monitoring is required. This is when two non-redundant forms of communication are present so that each pathway monitors the other, so that in the even that one communication pathway goes down for any reason, the other can inform the monitoring station. For example, a cellular communicator and a digital dialer can both be used in dual-path monitoring, and both will run at the same time. If the cellular communicator goes offline, the digital dialer can send a signal to the monitoring station to inform them of the phenomenon.

In active alarm monitoring, signals are sent to the receiving center every three minutes or 180 seconds and is actively supervised by the receiving center. Should there be a breakdown in the communication pathway from the facility and the signal receiving center, the center will be able to respond within three minutes of its occurrence. These systems include DVACS or Digital Voice Access Control Systems, cellular communication pathways and IP.

Active monitoring systems are not prone to downtime and are very stable. Before implementation, make sure that the service is tested well in order to ensure its reliability.

DVACS has begun to be phased out for various reasons, the foremost of which are related to the cost of implementing the systems and the fact that equipment manufacturers no longer make products that can utilize the DVACS communication methods. For a while, there was no active replacement for it and facilities had to rely on the passive form of monitoring, which was time-consuming and inefficient on the customer's end.

Cellular monitoring is now available and is a worthy if not better successor to DVACS. It operates much in the same way as DVACS did in that it is a supervised communication pathway connecting your facility to the signals receiving center, all done over a cellular network. It does not require a secondary communication pathway as in dual-path passive monitoring, and the company will handle all installation aspects including management of the cellular service. It also costs less than having to pay for a new phone line or internet connection on top of the cost of monitoring.

The National Bank of Serbia (Serbian: Народна банка Србије / Narodna banka Srbije) is the central bank of Serbia. Founded in 1884, the responsibilities of the bank are: monetary policy, sole issuer of Serbian banknotes and coins, protection of price stability and promotion of stability of the financial system within Serbia.
Core functions of the National Bank of Serbia include determining and implementation of the monetary policy, as well as that of the dinar exchange rate policy, management of the foreign currency reserves, issue of banknotes and coins, and maintenance of efficient payment and financial systems. The current governor of the bank is Jorgovanka Tabaković, as of August 6, 2012.
The bank was originally established on July 2, 1884 as the Privileged National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia. It was modeled after the National Bank of Belgium, considered at the time to be at the forefront of modern banking institutions. The first governor of the bank was Aleksa Spasić. Following the First World War, the bank underwent several changes as the country expanded and eventually became Yugoslavia. It wasn't until 2003 that the last remnant of Yugoslavia disappeared and the bank returned to minting Serbian currency.

While developing the emulator I needed to debug stuff. Besides the pspautotests project that allowed me to verify some behaviours, I need to stop the execution of the emulator in several places, and to trace stuff. Also I needed to debug webgl and to detect which parts of the emulator to optimize.
The simplest way of debugging:
Collapsable groups and tables, helped a lot for testing:
Chrome's profiler helped a lot in determining slow functions:
Stopping the execution in some conditions:
debugger; keyword (that I didn't know before starting the emulator) helped was a very valuable tool that allowed me to determine some problems. I was able to use that keyword in functions I made, but also in generated code; that includes CPU generated functions, and vertex decoding. Also browsers have a console, that allows you to execute code and view internals, while debugging or while running. So I was able to call stuff like "emulator.threadManager.threads.elements" or evaluate expressions while in a breakpoint.
And for debugging webgl, there was a very useful project: WebGL Inspector.

Tackling Indigenous smoking: can the promise be kept?
The previous post highlights some of the challenges ahead for the new Health Minister Tanya Plibersek. Reducing Indigenous smoking rates is one of them, says Associate Professor David Thomas from the Menzies School of Health Research in Darwin and the Lowitja Institute.
Can Plibersek fulfil Roxon's promises on cutting Indigenous smoking rates?
David Thomas writes:
Reducing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander smoking has been a central element in the Government's efforts to Close the Gap. What does the new Health Minister Tanya Plibersek think of Nicola Roxon's promise to halve the prevalence of Indigenous smoking by 2018?
Unlike us, politicians do not have an annual cycle of New Year's resolutions that are quickly broken or forgotten by mid-January. Politicians can make rash, seemingly bold, promises to fill a sound bite on any day. These may be achievable or be proven to be embarrassingly impossible. Everyone remembers Hawke's promise that no child will live in poverty. Most are, of course, forgotten by all but a few pedantic political tragics and political foes. And timelines (like 2018) are usually so distant that the promising politician will be long gone and not accountable.
A new report (abstract freely available**) outlines the size of the task ahead.
It is well-known that Indigenous smoking prevalence is more than double that of other Australians. What is less well known is that Indigenous smoking prevalence has been coming down since the first reliable national survey in 1994.
Smoking among Indigenous men fell by about 0.4% each year, in both remote and non-remote areas, from 58.5% in 1994 to 52.6% in 2008. Smoking in Indigenous women also fell by 0.5% p.a. in non-remote areas.
These trends are about the same size as the absolute falls in smoking prevalence among all Australian women, and about half the size of the falls among all Australian men. However smoking was still increasing in Indigenous women living remote areas.
In spite of few quit support services or campaigns targeting Indigenous people, apart from those provided routinely by doctors and health services, the report found a consistent increase in quitting from 2002 to 2008. The percentage of Indigenous people who had ever smoked but had now quit increased by about 1% p.a. in men and women in remote and non-remote areas.
These encouraging trends occurred when there was little attention to reducing Indigenous smoking. This Government has committed $100m to reducing Indigenous smoking, with many new Indigenous tobacco workers, an Indigenous social marketing campaign (including television ads), and improved access to Quitline services and nicotine replacement therapy. This complements improved mainstream tobacco control policies such as the tobacco tax excise increase, the national social marketing campaigns, plain packaging, and improved smokefree and retail display legislation.
But to meet Roxon's promise, Indigenous smoking prevalence will have to fall more than six times as quickly as these historical trends, and much faster than smoking fell in the whole population in response to other campaigns in Australia or America.
Roxon's promise may be very difficult for Plibersek or her successors to realise, but at least it has been matched with clear intent and real funding by this Government.
Indigenous smoking will eventually be half the current prevalence, but maybe not by 2018, hopefully soon after. Smoking has been causing far too many deaths and too much sickness in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities for too long.
In response, the Coalition has only grumbled waste and duplication, rather than come up with its own funded plan and targets.

FX is an abbreviation for FAMILY EXPERIENCE. FX is a live, dynamic environment designed to help us as the church partner with families. It is a fun, shared experience for families to come together for a purpose. It strategically places parents and kids in a world that helps both understand and live out essential truths regarding wisdom, faith, and friendship.
We often say, "What happens at home is even more important than what happens at church." This means that our faith really isn't a living faith until it is lived out in our daily lives. Parents and kids look for practical ways to take what happens at church home with them so that it is relevant on a Tuesday afternoon, or a Friday morning, or late at night.

This is a great way to keep a record of your riding lesson students' progress by writing an evaluation after each riding lesson they take. The first page has a date of their lesson, their name, horse they rode, an overview of the gaits they did, the jumping they did, strength and weaknesses you observed, a large section for your lesson summary that day or any notes. The second page provides a simple rider evaluation form and covers unmounted skills, mounted skills and a evaluation of the fit with the horse they rode that day. It also includes a blank version so you can write in the values for the bubble sheet.
This student record is a simplified version of our Riding Instructor Lesson Planner pack. If you want something to help you plan riding lessons for a specific rider check, a blank rider evaluation sheet or a more thorough review of a rider's lesson, then it may be a better fit for you.
Do you have a large lesson barn? Need something faster or to help with a much larger group of riding lesson students? Try our Student Overview Journal pages in landscape format to keep track of a larger number of students' progress or for use with multiple riding instructors.

East India Company's Capture of Ceylon Medal, 1807
The island of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, was first taken over from its inhabitants by the Portuguese in 1505; the Dutch replaced them during the seventeenth century. In a campaign from 1795 to 1796 the British East India Company ousted Dutch rule and took the island over.
This medal was issued by the Company to a force of 123 Indian gunners from the Bengal Artillery who served in the campaign. It is unnamed, and the recipient's identity unknown. Lester Watson bought it from the dealer Gifford in 1927.


text: Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a 3D cockpit display (3D-COD) system for improved pilot situational awareness and safety in 3D airspace by overcoming the inherent limitations of 2D information presentation. The proposed display will be automultiscopic and will be based on a projector, a stationary holographic optical element screen integrated with a high-speed electro-optical scanner and high-speed electronics with a software interface to NASA systems. This minimum 8-in. diagonal drop-down head-up display with no moving parts will present six or more perspective views to air crew members, forming integrated virtual volumetric 3D images viewable over a 60 degree horizontal field of view. In Phase I POC designed a laboratory prototype and successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed system by assembling a single-user monochrome 3D-COD prototype. In Phase II POC will further develop the true 3D display technology and construct a fully functional system that will project distortion-free, 400-600 lumen, full-color, virtual volumetric 3D images at a 30-60 Hz video rate for real-time user interaction with the images, each from his or her own perspective.


Old Python bindings
From VideoLAN Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Python binding documentation
For a while, there has been a basic python binding for libvlc, that was used for streaming. A more complete (with a hopefully generic API that can be reused by other players) has been developped, based on the MediaControlAPI.
Sources are browsable from python binding and a code sample can be found in [1].
The vlc python module provides 2 main classes : MediaControl and Object.
vlc.Object provides a binding to the vlc object architecture. It allows to manipulate variables and configuration options, and explore the object hierrarchy. The vlcdebug.py script, located in the python bindings directory, wraps around the vlc.Object to provide an easier access to variables and objects (as illustrated in the code sample in [2]).
vlc.MediaControl implements the MediaControlAPI.
Methods taking positions as parameters expect a vlc.Position object, that provides a very flexible way to address absolute or relative positions, in a number of units (milliseconds, frames or bytes). For convenience, the python binding automatically converts integer positions into milliseconds vlc.Position objects.
Tips and tricks
Snapshot support
In order to get snapshot support, you have to activate the snapshot vout module through a clone video filter. The following code gives a way to achieve this :
 mc=vlc.MediaControl([ "--vout-filter", "clone" ])
 o.config_set("clone-vout-list", "default,snapshot")
 o.config_set("snapshot-width", 320)
 o.config_set("snapshot-height", 200)
Note that all config options could have been given on the command line, but this illustrates the use of the vlc.Object API.
There is a snapshot functionality built in the vlc core, associated to a hotkey. The MediaControlAPI could (should ?) use it, but
 - it did not exist at the time the extension was developped
 - the builtin snapshot functionality is oriented towards interactive use (hotkey activation, saving into a file) and should be revamped to take into accound a more programmatic use
 - the snapshot vout module holds a cache of reduced-size snapshots, that allow to take into account the reaction time of the user (around 200ms) and also to select the more appropriate snapshot from the cache.
Win32 initialization
If the vlc module was not compiled with the exact same prefix as the VLC installation (e.g. c:\\Program Files\\Videolan), then it cannot find itself the installation directory (stored in the registry Software\VideoLAN\VLC\Path), and the MediaControl instanciation will fail with a message like "Cannot find interface plugins".
The workaround consists in changing directory to the VLC installation directory before instanciating the MediaControl object.
 def get_registry_value (self, subkey, name):
 import _winreg
 value = None
 for hkey in _winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, _winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER:
 reg = _winreg.OpenKey(hkey, subkey)
 value, type_id = _winreg.QueryValueEx(reg, name)
 except _winreg.error:
 return value
 if vlcpath is None:
 print "Cannot locate VLC installation directory"

 - Reduces the number of homeless animals in the Commonwealth through a statewide spay/neuter program and will, in turn, also reduce the cost to cities and towns for housing and sheltering these animals. This is funded by a voluntary tax check off.
 - Requires Animal Control Officers to receive training. People are often surprised to learn that their local animal control officer is not required to receive training for the complicated work they do to keep the people and animals in their community safe. This is funded by the tax check off.
 - Prohibits carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gas as a means to "euthanize" dogs and cats.
The law creates some statewide oversight for animal control, which previously did not exist in Massachusetts; create categories for kennel licensing; create consistency in the holding time for stray dogs and provide other meaningful updates to the state's antiquated animal control laws. A House amendment added some restrictions on the tethering of dogs (Ch 140 sec. 174E).
Why were these changes needed?
Many of the laws that govern animal control date back to the 1800s. Quite simply, the laws did not address the current state of animal control in our municipalities, which are no longer based on the county system. The fines are outdated, as is the term "dog officer"; "animal control officer" more accurately describes the role fulfilled. These proposed changes were made to Chapter 140, sections 136A through 174D to update and make the animal control laws more efficient, current and effective. They will also save cities and towns money. At the beginning of every legislative session, many bills are filed to address a section or issue relating to animal control. For years, organizations, individuals, and legislators have been seeking a more comprehensive revision; this law is the result of stakeholder meetings since 2005 to rework the sections in Chapter 140 relating to animals.
The Animal Control Officers of Massachusetts (ACOAM), the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA), the Animal Rescue League of Boston the state's Bureau of Animal Health within the Department of Agricultural Resources and the Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) worked together to draft these changes.

How to Grow Oregano Indoors
As popular as Italian food has become and as often as oregano is used in Italian cuisine, it would make sense that a lot of domestic chefs would want to grow fresh oregano in their indoor gardens. The truth is, not many of them do. One of the reasons may be that they don't know how to do it. If this explains your reason for not growing oregano in your home, you may want to follow these 6 steps for growing oregano indoors.
Step 1: Selecting the Right Plant
In purchasing a plant to grow in your indoor garden, choose one with new growth and bright leaves, one that is bushier than its neighbors.
Step 2: Selecting the Right Location
Your oregano plant will need at least 6 hours of good, strong sunlight but not direct sunlight that can burn the plant. Keep the plant near an east, south or west window where it will get better light. Monitoring your plant will help you determine if it is getting enough light. If you see the plant begin to lean toward the light, that will be a clue that you might need to move it closer to a window with more light. Browning of leaf edges suggests the plant is getting too much light.
Step 3: Choose a Growing Pot
Your growing pot should be bigger than the pot your plant was in when you purchased it. Be sure it has a drainage hole in the bottom. If the plant you're going to grow indoors was one you brought in from outdoors, your larger pot should be at least 6" in diameter.
Step 4: Choosing the Right Soil
Use quality soil. In buying a lower grade of soil, just to reduce your cost, you will risk reducing the quality of your oregano. You can add to its quality by including a good grade of sand or perlite, along with a small amount of garden lime (but only a pinch of lime). Before placing the soil in your pot, add enough marbles or pebbles to cover the bottom of the pot. This will help give it better drainage.
Step 5: Firming the Soil
When you have finished re-potting, press the soil down into the pot firmly enough that it will squeeze out any air bubbles that might be lying unseen inside the soil and could damage or destroy the plant's roots.
Step 6: Watering
After planting, or re-planting, water the oregano once each week. Check the plant often to see if the soil has begun pulling away from the pot's sides. This shrinking of the soil will indicate that the plant needs more water. If you see this pulling away of dirt, increase the watering to two times per week. In hotter and dryer months the plant may need more water than in cooler and more humid months.
Step 7: Harvesting
When using the leaves of the plant for seasoning, be careful during winter months not to use more than 50 percent of the leaves. Avoid trying to pull leaves off the plant, as this puts a strain on the plant and risks dislodging it roots.

8. International Health Regulations and Epidemic Control
- Alert function requires countries that discover an outbreak to immediately notify other countries
- Alert function is non-rivalrous (info used by one country does not prevent another using it)
- Alert function is non-excludable (once information disseminated it is impossible to prevent countries using it)
Just as for national infection control, there are two primary parts to the process: the alert function and the control measures.
The alert function builds on the principle that when a country discovers an outbreak that may spread to other countries, it immediately notifies these other countries. In this sense, the alert function is a non-rivalrous and non-excludable global public good. Other countries are forewarned and can take action to protect their citizens. Tourists can be warned not to travel to the affected area, and arrivals of people or goods from that area can be checked for disease - or even refused. In this example it is the information itself that should be an intermediate good, but it is easy to see that unless the process is totally transparent, some countries could be excluded from information, and it would thus become a 'club good' among countries with sensitive international intelligence systems.
Also, just as in the example of the 'cordon sanitaire', 'global' may not include the affected country. In most instances this country has little to gain from an alert, and more often than not it will suffer - at least in the short run. Tourists will stop coming, its citizens will be subjected to check-ups or quarantine when travelling abroad, and its exports may be stopped.

Quick Connect is a patent-pending technology that easily allows devices to connect without special network configuration requirements. Quick Connect communicates at the level 3 network layer. By establishing a direct connection at the IP level using a Quick Connect code, Quick Connect bypasses the requirement for networks to support mDNS and multicast in order to establish an AirPlay connection. Quick Connect codes are encoded connection information that allow two or more devices to begin exchanging information without additional discovery packet traffic. This means devices can connect across networks that may not support the requirements of AirPlay but are still capable of communicating with each other.
Depending on the configuration of your network, Quick Connect can even allow communications between VLANs, such as those used to separate student and teacher devices on a school network. Check with your network administrator to determine if layer 3 inter-VLAN traffic is enabled on your network.

Sister Natalie Rossi: Let yourself be tickled by God's humor
I don't think God tickled them yet.
Beloved -- hurry.
St. Teresa of Avila
I remember listening to symphonies and enjoying the tuba -- a funny, obscure instrument that tickles my soul. In the symphony of life, do we go around missing the tickles -- the joys, the laughs?
Do we forget what it means to be tickled, and go around masquerading in a shell of boredom?
In the Navajo tradition, the first laugh of a child is celebrated with a feast given by the person who caused the laugh. The Navajos are a people of peace and harmony. Even with all of the tragedies in their lives, they laugh at themselves and others. They have stories about a trickster, the Coyote, who goes around making people laugh with his antics. They enjoy a hearty laugh even at your expense, but they try to live peaceful lives.
Laughter bellows forth from children who survived the typhoon in Cebu in the Philippines, just by seeing themselves on a picture. All of the people I passed in the Philippines smiled and were so welcoming, even as they waited for water to wash their clothes or lay their children down on blankets on the sidewalk to sleep.
The Philippine people have been through so much: wars, floods, typhoons, volcanos, etc. How can people have so much inner hope and peace? Has God tickled them?
What do we need in our society, our culture to be tickled? Can we become aware of the touch of God in all living and nonliving things? Can we see in all creation and all of the universe, silly happenings? Do we just keep our heads buried in the mundane things of life?
God is a God of fun, laughter. Look! He created so many funny animals -- anteaters, monkeys -- you and I.
God does have a sense of humor. Somehow we forgot that we are created in God's image. So where is our joy? Perhaps, we need to go through the world and let ourselves be tickled.

Time-domain EMI Measurement Systems allow to reduce the measurement time by several orders of magnitude. In this paper novel test procedures for radiated emission measurements based on a realtime time-domain emi measurement system are presented. Those test procedures take advantage of the parallel calculation of the spectrum at several thousand frequency bins. By a full maximization procedure full automated measurements can be performed. By an enhanced pre- and final scan a test procedure is presented that reduces test time by at least one order of magnitude. The proposed test reduces the critical parameters that have to be selected by the operator. Measurements have been performed in the frequency range 30 MHz - 1 GHz and compared with the results obtained by an EMI receiver. The long term stability of the emission of a brush motor is investigated. A measurement uncertainty analysis based on a reliable statistic of 200000 quasipeak values. The standard deviation as well as the histogram of the probability density function is calculated and evaluated.

On the fence about fish? Try cod! This versatile, delicate white fish has a mild flavor and a wild history. I simply love it; it's my all-time favorite for making fish sticks, fish tacos and chowder like this Cod Chowder.
Before Europeans ever set foot on the North American continent, Native Americans fished the vast shores catching cod. It was an important part of their diet. While it's not likely they were fortunate enough to have tasted Crispy Skillet-Baked Cod, they surely had their own fabulous recipes, perhaps something like Baked Cod with Summer Vegetables. Interestingly, it was cod that first attracted Europeans to the North American coast.
The famous town of Cape Cod got its name from an explorer named Bartholomew Gosnold back in 1602. He caught massive amounts of cod and even noted in writing the plentiful "codfyshes" which "pestered" his ship. If he could have tasted this Baked Breaded Cod, he might have appreciated all that pestering.
Soon after the adventures of Gosnold, the pilgrims of the early 1600's studied John Smith's map of New England. Naturally they were interested and curious about the area called "Cape Cod." They wanted to make fishing a big business but knew very little about it, (just like they knew very little about Cod Poached in Tomato Tarragon Sauce) until the local native people helped out by teaching them how to catch the cod and use the remains to fertilize their land.
Here are some delicious ideas for serving cod:
Cod could very well be the most important fish in history! Did you know there's a book about it? It's called Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World. The description reads: "Wars have been fought over it, revolutions have been spurred by it, national diets have been based on it, economies and livelihoods have depended on it, and the settlement of North America was driven by it…" Wow! Who would have thought?

The land surface in Jakarta is sinking at a rate of 5 to 20 centimeters a year.
That was the result of study by the Indonesian Environmental Forum (WALHI), and research by Bandung Technological Institute (ITB) between the year 1982 and 1997.
Considering that 40% of the land surface in Jakarta is lower than the sea level, there is a possibility that several area including elite area like Jl. Sudirman, Jl. Kuningan, Kelapa Gading and Ancol Beach Resort will be drowned in the future.
According to WALHI's executive director Ubaidillah, the sinking land surface is caused by large scale pumping of underground water. Beside that, there are many new buildings which are not equipped with underground water reservoir. He said that until June 2009, 364 shopping centers, including 54 malls, have been constructed in Jakarta. Out of Jakarta's total area of 661 Square Kilometers, only 9.6% is allocated for green area (parks, pavements).
The Climatology, Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BKMG) predicted that the rainy season will reach its peak on January 2009. Increasing sea level and bad drainage system will cause Jakarta to face the worst flood with a height of up to 250 centimeters.
For detailed media reports, please click here and here.
Considering that Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia, I hope that the central government together with the provincial government of Jakarta will make very serious efforts to prevent Jakarta from sinking any further among others by improving the drainage system, stop giving building permits for new high rise buildings, impose heavy penalty on those who violates the regulation for pumping ground water.

After creating something recognisable from random lines, circles and squiggles, Mr. Squiggle sometimes rotates the canvas and creates something new from the image that he has just made. Sometimes the pictures he makes are quite cool, especially considering that they derive from his previous attempts to bring order out of randomness.
To play the Mr. Squiggle home game, have a friend (or yourself) draw some random squiggles, then try and create a picture from it. Once you're done, rotate it and pass it on to someone else to see what they can do. Space walks are optional.
A picture of the rather phallic Mr. Squiggle:

Degree polynomial for vertices in a graph and its behavior under graph operations
Comment.Math.Univ.Carolin. 63,4 (2022) 397-413.
Abstract: We introduce a new concept namely the degree polynomial for the vertices of a simple graph. This notion leads to a concept, namely, the degree polynomial sequence which is stronger than the concept of degree sequence. After obtaining the degree polynomial sequence for some well-known graphs, we prove a theorem which gives a necessary condition for the realizability of a sequence of polynomials with positive integer coefficients. Also we calculate the degree polynomial for the vertices of the join, Cartesian product, tensor product, and lexicographic product of two simple graphs and for the vertices of the complement of a simple graph. Some examples, counterexamples, and open problems concerning these subjects is given as well.
Keywords: degree polynomial; degree polynomial sequence; degree sequence; graph operation

[Hiraoka National Flag Sampe Book]
1938 (undated) 10.5 x 12.5 in (26.67 x 31.75 cm)
This is a rare Japanese Pre-World War II era sample flag book published between 1937 and 1940. The sample book containing 25 national flags including Japan, Nazi Germany, Manchukuo, the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, England, and the United States, among others. It was issued by the Hiraoka Flag Store (平岡国旗店) of Kyoto. The 25 flags contained in the book are actual cloth flags that have been mounted to cardboard and matted.
The book is undated, but due to the flags included, we can surmise the date based upon the flags as sometime between 1937 and 1940. The swastika flag of Nazi Germany (4) is included, so it must postdate January 30, 1931. The book also notably lacks the KMT Regime flag. Following the Second Sino Japanese War (1937 - 1940), the Japanese puppet regime in Nanjing, the Provisional Government of the Republic of China (中華民國臨時政府), instituted the 'Five Races Under One Union' flag, represented here as Flag 3, and did not recognize the KMT. Similarly, the book includes he Manchukuo Flag (2), a puppet regime established by the Japanese that was active from 1932 – 1945.
This book is rare and we are aware of no other examples.
Hiraoka Flag Store (平岡国旗店, 1887 – Present) is a Japanese flag manufacturing company founded in Kyoto in 1887 (Meiji 20). The firm was founded by Shinjiro Hiraoka (初代の平岡新次郎は) who at the time also ran a Kimono business. Recognizing a demand for flags during the Russo-Japanese War (1904 – 1905), Hiraoka focused his energies on the flag business. He remained in operation throughout the Pre-War and WWII eras and, as Kyoto was never bombed, remains in operation today as Hiraoka Flag Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The company remains in the Hiraoka family.

You can speed up the access to nodes of a large Info file by giving it a tags table. Unlike the tags table for a program, the tags table for an Info file lives inside the file itself and is used automatically whenever Info reads in the file.
To make a tags table, go to a node in the file using Emacs Info mode and type
M-x Info-tagify. Then you must use C-x C-s to save the
file. Info files produced by the
makeinfo command that is part
of the Texinfo package always have tags tables to begin with.
Once the Info file has a tags table, you must make certain it is up
to date. If you edit an Info file directly (as opposed to editing its
Texinfo source), and, as a result of deletion of text, any node moves back
more than a thousand characters in the file from the position
recorded in the tags table, Info will no longer be able to find that
node. To update the tags table, use the
An Info file tags table appears at the end of the file and looks like this:
^_^L Tag Table: File: info, Node: Cross-refs^?21419 File: info, Node: Tags^?22145 ^_ End Tag Table
Note that it contains one line per node, and this line contains the beginning of the node's header (ending just after the node name), a 'DEL' character, and the character position in the file of the beginning of the node.

The 6 AOI governorates
The governorates of Italian East Africa (A.O.I) formed the first level of country subdivision. The territory was divided into 6 Governments. Existed until 1938 the Governorate of Addis Ababa, whose territory was integrated in the new government of Shoa, with a municipal administration.
The governments were ruled by a governor assisted by a Governing Council, whose members the highest authorities of the Government. The Governments of Amhara, Galla and Sidamo, Harar and Shoa constituting the Italian Empire of Ethiopia, who was about half of the Ethiopian state until 1936.
The governments were divided into the government commissioner, ruled by a government commissioner assisted by a Deputy Commissioner, usually also the owner of the residence in the central town of the Commissioner. The commissioners were divided into residences, sometimes divided into Vice Residences.
As a rule, the seat of the High Commissioner was provided with primary schools, post office and telegraph, infirmary with a doctor, runway for airplanes. The residences's locations were equipped with a post office, telegraph and infirmary with a doctor.

This is the first study of Comrade October, the only drama in the oeuvre of Kazimierz Wierzyński (1894–1969). Written in 1950, it was not published until 1992. The article traces the origins of the play and assigns it to the tradition of dystopian fi ction (as exemplifi ed primarily by George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. A close reading of the structure of the play (the characters, the plot and its temporal structure, etc.) reveals the originality of Wierzyński's approach and the links between Comrade October and the poetry he wrote after the war in exile.

What is a Spindle Tree?
The Spindle Tree in the story is very old, growing in the old cemetery encircling the Wilson Mausoleum. In fact, the Spindle Tree whose Latin name is Euonymous Europeum is native to Europe and is found also in England, Wales and Ireland. It can grow very high as it gets older and is very inconspicuous in the hedgerow. It has small tiny green flowers in May, but it comes into its own in the Autumn when its leaves turn a bright red and its beautiful coral pink berries open up to reveal a bright yellow hard seed within. It is native to Ireland and it grows in mainly chalky or lime-laden soil. Its seeds are poisonous and can cause kidney or liver failure if ingested.
It was known in folk medicine as the louse berry as the seeds were dried, crushed into a powder and used to prevent lice, fleas, and ticks on farm animals as well as dogs and cats. It's long hard sticks were shaped and used as knitting needles, as skewers for meat by butchers and as seen from its more common name, it was used to make spindles for spindle trees. In more recent times it has become popular in gardens, because of its rich Autumn displays of colour. When it was introduced to North America, it has become an invasive species in some areas.

This quantitative study adds to previous research on school leadership effects on school performance. Utilizing existing school level data from Washington D.C. charter schools, this study explores the shift to distributed leadership structures and presence of emerging school-level leadership roles, including academic, behavior, and operational leaders. Then using organizational rosters to create new leadership variables, the study completes controlled multivariate regression modeling to explore the relationships between the presence or absence of these roles with school performance. Overall, the findings show that leadership predictors, despite having intuitive and theoretical links to school performance, had effects of less than 1% on the model's ability to explain the 2019 school performance. This is likely because 75% of the variability was explained by control variables, including the best predictors of school performance—the prior year's performance and reenrollment. Beyond the modeling statistics, the additional exploratory data analysis of tables correlating performance by ward and convergence of titles provide insights that could inform further research, policy, and practice in the charter school sector and in the education-reform movement.

Are Female Workers Less Productive Than Male Workers?
This paper addresses whether there are productivity differences between men and women among blue-collar workers. We compare the wages under pieceand time-rate contracts of men and women working in the same occupation in the same establishment in three countries: the U.S., Norway, and Sweden. The findings are summarized in four points. First, the gender wage gap is smaller under piecethan under time-rate work. According to the interpretation put forth here, two thirds of the gap at the occupationâestablishment level is due to productivity differences, while one third is not "accounted for", but could be due to discrimination or experience or other factors. Productivity differences between sexes in typically male-dominated blue-collar industries are however very small, of 1â3%: Sweden 1%, U.S. 2% and Norway 3%. Second, in age groups where women on average have extensive family obligations, the wage gap is larger than in other age groups. Third, under time-rate work, the wage gap is more or less independent of supposed occupation-based productivity differences between men and women, while under piece-rate work, the wage gap mirrors quite closely assumed productivity differences, with women receiving a wage premium in female-advantageous settings and a penalty in male-advantageous settings. Fourth, in contrast to Sweden, in Norway and the U.S. women sort more often into piece-rate work than men.

This paper presents a new strategy for obstacle avoidance in mobile robots leader-follower formation. The key feature of the algorithm is that the system is robust against absolute acceleration of both leader and obstacle. On the other hand the angular velocity constraint of leader and obstacle is eliminated in the proposed leader-obstacle formation. The formation controller is composed of a feedback linearization part and a sliding mode compensator. Similar structure is used for both leader-follower and leader-obstacle formation. The proposed controller generates the commanded acceleration for the follower robot and makes the formation control system robust against the unmeasured acceleration of the leader robot and obstacle. Simulation results are presented to show the validity of the proposed methodology.

A review of behavioural and physiological responses of sheep to stressors to identify potential behavioural signs of distress
Author: Cockram, M.S.
Source: Animal Welfare, Volume 13, Number 3, August 2004, pp. 283-291(9)
Publisher: Universities Federation for Animal Welfare
Abstract:This paper discusses the potential for using observations of behaviour to recognise distress in sheep. The term distress is used to describe situations in which an animal is likely to be suffering, and is indicating this by overt behavioural signs. Literature on the behavioural responses of sheep to procedures that induce a physiological stress response is reviewed. This approach is based on human analogy and the assumption that physiological changes can be used to differentiate between stimuli that induce an emotional response in sheep and those that do not. The degree to which the behaviour of sheep in certain situations represents, at least in part, an expression of emotional behaviour, or whether it can be fully explained as a functional response to a specific situation, is a fundamental and unresolved question in ethological and psychological studies. Therefore, the validity of compiling a list of objective common behavioural indicators of distress in sheep will be contentious. However, it is important to be able to recognise and deal with suffering, and the use of behavioural methods for the identification of distress in sheep is a practical welfare issue. There is a need for further research to identify indicators of distress in sheep, but in the meantime it would be reasonable to make the judgement that, in some circumstances, sheep that are found to be vocalising, panting, and/or showing markedly increased locomotory activity could be experiencing distress.

The Gregowiki is a central location for all Gregorio users to find:
Gregorio is an open-source project offering software tools for typesetting (engraving) Gregorian chant scores. In particular, Gregorio is an add-on package for the typesetting system LaTeX, so it requires an installation of TeXLive.
Gregorio and LaTeX together produce PDF output suitable for printing.
The input to Gregorio is a notation called GABC, which combines the syllables of a chant text with a simple notation indicating the position and shape of each note.
For most users, it's not necessary to install Gregorio on your own computer. Instead you can access it using one of the on-line Gregorio web interfaces listed below.
gprocesswhich is a
perlscript designed to instantly show the result of a gabc file using your system's pdf viewer.
grely.rbwhich converts gabc to simple lilypond. Currently the conversion is possible only to modern notation, with great information loss.
Since GABC code assigns notes to syllables of the sung text, these tools can be useful in breaking up a text into syllables:
Ben Bloomfield's on-line tools can apply melodic formulas to hymn texts, psalm verses, and scripture texts:
There are two web sites that have versions of the Gregorio software installed. They offer interfaces where a user can enter GABC code, make selections about the output format, and receive a PDF file with the score produced by the Gregorio (and LaTeX) software:
Several published books and smaller works have been produced using Gregorio.
