What Country Has The Largest Bust Sizes?
What Country Has The Largest Bust Sizes?
The Journal of Female Health Sciences recently published a fascinating study. They surveyed bust sizes worldwide to see which nationality had the largest. Their study concluded that women in the USA have the largest boobs in the world. Canada, Ireland, Poland, and England rounded out the Top 5. Women in Africa and Asia tended to have the smallest breast sizes.

What Country Has The Largest Breast Sizes?
How Will This Study Be Used?
You might be wondering why researchers were so interested in this topic. The reason might not be what you'd think. Knowledge of breast size variations among different countries is used by the clothing industry. They use these numbers to market and develop products with global applications. The data are also used by other industries, as well as cosmetic surgeons.
The Average American Bra Size
According to this article from Medical Daily, the average bra size in America is now a 34DD, compared to an average size of 34B only 20 years ago.
Why Has The Average Size Gone Up?
While the number of breast augmentations have gone up significantly in the last twenty years, they aren't enough to account for such a substantial rise in the average American breast size. There are several theories about the recent rise in bust sizes.
If you look at the numbers on the chart, you'll probably notice that the nations closer to the top are in North America and Europe, which, on the whole have higher incomes and better nutrition. These countries also tend to have taller people, and a higher average weight.
This is probably one of the most accurate theories about boob sizes.
Some people, like the author of this article from Green Prophet, attribute the change in breast size to nutrition, including the relatively recent addition of hormones to dairy and meat.
This might sound like some far-out conspiracy theory. However, countries like the USA and England do consume a lot of dairy. Asian countries consume almost no milk or cheese. There are many naturally occurring hormones in dairy that mimic estrogen. In many of these countries, girls are starting puberty at younger ages.
This doesn't mean that their theory is 100% valid, but it does raise some questions.
Proper Bra Fitting
Other sources, like this article from the Today Show, argue that women's breast sizes haven't gotten substantially bigger.
Instead, they say that women are only recently finding out their true bra sizes. Almost ten years ago, Oprah did an entire episode teaching women to find their actual bra sizes, and it turned out that many women who thought they were a B ended up being a D or larger.
It might not come as a surprise that America and Europe have the largest breast sizes. However, with new technology and GMOs, more countries are getting better nutrition. The question is: will they start to experience larger breast sizes, too? If theories about hormones in meat and dairy are correct, the numbers might not shift substantially. But, if it's more of a question about nutrition in general, it might.
In another 20 years, the list might become a little less top-heavy (no pun intended).


Energy-harvesting Playground Equipment
Woman on playground merry-go-round
Imagine if every rotation of the merry-go-round produced power for nearby streetlamps. It could be a reality in the not-so-distant future.
Energy-harvesting playground equipment is pretty much exactly what it sounds like -- playground equipment that is capable of collecting and storing energy. The kinetic energy from your movements could be used to power everything from outdoor playground lighting to possibly even nearby buildings, depending on how many people use the energy-harvesting equipment (the more people working out, the more electricity generated and collected).
Does this sound far-fetched and futuristic? Designers and engineers are already hard at work on the technology. And just how much electricity can you generate while you're on the playground? When you're engaged in moderate-intensity exercise, you generate about 50 watts of electricity in one hour [source: California Fitness]. In the future, the answer to an energy crisis could be as simple as child's play -- literally.

Ever seen a picture of a flapper girl and wondered: what is a flapper exactly? How did the flapper movement begin? Read on to get a comprehensive flapper definition and history, as well as an analysis of how the flapper movement continues to impact society today.
Flapper Definition: Who Were These Women Exactly?
First off, what is a flapper?
"Flapper" was a term given to young, progressive Western women in the 1920s (or the Roaring Twenties) who were primarily known for their modern sense of style and new attitudes toward womanhood, gender roles, and sexuality.
Flappers were often described by older people as energetic and wild—sometimes even dangerous or immoral as a result of their forward-thinking personalities and disdain for conventional notions of women's roles and appearances. Indeed, flappers were strong proponents for women's social, political, economic, and sexual freedom.
Most flappers had a similar sense of fashion and style. They wore shorter, more revealing dresses, with thinner layers for ease of movement and dancing at jazz clubs. They also kept their hair short (in a bob), wore high heels and makeup, and swapped traditional corsets for bras and lingerie.
In terms of lifestyle, flappers were known to smoke, drink, dance, and enjoy sexual freedom that was unknown to prior generations of women. Flappers helped to establish a far more laid-back culture of dating and engaged in casual sex, which differed greatly with the rigid norms of the Victorian era.
In general, flappers were young, single, urban, middle-class women based in the United States and Europe. (Our main focus for this article will be on the American flapper.)
Not much is known about the origins of the word "flapper" and how and when it entered American slang, though one theory suggests the word was British slang for "a wild, flighty young woman."
Famous American flappers include actress Clara Bow, who played a flapper in the hit 1927 movie It, and actress Louise Brooks, whose bob hairstyle inspired the iconic flapper girl look. There was also Josephine Baker, a French-American entertainer and flapper, who gained worldwide acclaim after moving to Paris in the 1920s.
Finally, flapper and author Zelda Fitzgerald was the inspiration for the female protagonists in her husband F. Scott Fitzgerald's novels, most notably The Great Gatsby, for which she was the real-life inspiration behind Daisy Buchanan. Fitzgerald is also known for her 1922 "Eulogy on the Flapper," which describes the flapper movement in exquisite detail.
How Did Flappers Come About? And Why Did They Disappear?
Many factors—economic, political, social, and technological—contributed to the rise of flapper girls and women in the 1920s.
During World War I (_PHONE_), when many men were away fighting, women were the ones who took charge of the economy: they began working new, high-paying jobs that had previously been closed off to them. After tasting this newfound economic freedom, most women had little desire to return to homemaking following the men's return at the end of the war.
Political changes happening at this time, too, gave women more confidence in their freedoms and ability to step away from Victorian notions of womanhood. The 19th Amendment was passed in 1920, giving women the right to vote for the first time.
That same year witnessed the ratification of the 18th Amendment, which banned the production and sale of alcohol. This time came to be known as Prohibition. Even with Prohibition, though, alcohol consumption did not diminish: underground speakeasies began to pop up, and many men and women would visit these places to drink alcohol, listen to jazz, and socialize.
Other social changes in favor of women's rights—such as an increase in opportunities for women to attend college, Alice Paul's proposal of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923, and easier access to birth control for women—set the stage for a new "modern" ideal for women to imitate.
Finally, innovative technologies, such as Henry Ford's mass production of cars, allowed women to gain a sense of physical independence, away from the confines of the home.
All these social, political, economic, and technological changes helped pave the way for the rise of the flapper. But, as we are aware, flappers weren't just known for their attitudes and lifestyles but also for the unique way they looked and dressed.
The flapper girl image developed as a sort of variation on the Gibson Girl, an idealized vision of the feminist "New Woman" that was popular in the 1890s and early 1900s. The Gibson Girl was athletic, independent, sophisticated, and highly educated, but she was also graceful and feminine—traits that would eventually differ greatly from the image of the flapper girl.
Although the flapper look and lifestyle remained popular and inspired many women in the 1920s, the movement ultimately lost momentum in 1929 when the stock market crashed.
With the start of the Great Depression, people found it difficult, if not impossible, to keep up with their once-frivolous lifestyle and spending habits, causing the flapper trend to fade into obscurity.
The Impact of Flappers on Society Today
Even though the idea of the flapper girl died out shortly after the 1920s, these women still had a notable impact on our culture today—particularly on women's rights and lifestyles.
First, flappers set the stage for a much more liberated view of women's sexuality in that they made it so women would no longer be considered impure, immoral, or dangerous for engaging in casual, consensual sexual activities. In this sense, flappers dispelled the myth that a woman's worth is defined by her virginity or purity.
Secondly, flappers' progressive fashion choices gave women a bigger, more comfortable array of clothing options than what had been previously available. Nowadays, women have lots of choices when it comes to fashion, and we are (thankfully!) no longer confined to only corsets and long dresses.
Finally, flappers as a whole helped develop women's modern sense of independence. Flappers emphasized the importance of women making their own choices regarding their appearance and social activities. These are privileges that all women today can enjoy!
Louise Brooks, 1926
Conclusion: What Is a Flapper?
The flapper, or flapper girl, was an ideal vision of a modern woman that rose to popularity among women in the 1920s in the United States and Europe, primarily as a result of huge political, social, and economic upheavals.
Many women didn't want to give up the well-paying jobs and economic freedom they'd acquired during World War I. Furthermore, the passage of the 18th and 19th Amendments in 1920 ended up popularizing underground speakeasies and giving women more political freedom.
Flappers were typically young, urban, single, middle-class women who engaged in activities such as smoking, drinking, dancing, dating, and casual sex. They wore short and thin clothing, cut their hair in bobs, donned high heels, and put on makeup—all choices that ultimately allowed women to break free from the stifling notions of womanhood prevalent in the Victorian era.
The flapper movement didn't last forever, though, and came to an end with the stock market crash in 1929. As the Great Depression hit, women could no longer afford the frivolous, carefree lifestyle being a flapper entailed.
Nevertheless, there's no denying that the flapper girl icon and movement had a notable impact on society. Even now, we can see traces of the flapper ideal when we consider how contemporary society and women today have been clearly (and positively!) influenced by the progressive actions of the flappers.

A zero-ohm link or zero-ohm resistor is a wire link used to connect traces on a printed circuit board that is packaged in the same format as a resistor. This format allows it to be placed on the circuit board using same automated equipment used to place other resistors instead of requiring a separate machine to install a jumper or other wire. Zero-ohm resistors may be packaged like cylindrical resistors, or like surface-mount resistors.
The resistance is only approximately zero; only a maximum (typically 10–50 mΩ) is specified. Thus, a fractional tolerance (as a percentage of the zero-ohm ideal value) would be infinite and is not specified.
An axial through-hole zero-ohm resistor is generally marked with a single black band, the symbol for 0 in the resistor color code. Surface-mount resistors are generally marked with a single "0" or "000".

A convoy of 21 vehicles left Xining, capital city of Qinghai Province, on Friday for a scientific mission to the Hol Xil Nature Reserve in northwest China's Qinghai Province.
This will be the country's largest scientific inspection of the nature reserve since 1990, and also the first one since the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet railway on July 1 this year.
The 61-person inspection team consists of scientists, journalists and volunteers.
The 50-day mission's aim is to better understand the formation of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, its effect on China's and the world's climate, as well as the distribution and migration of the nature reserve's rare animals.
Hol Xil is home to Tibetan antelopes, an endangered species which are protected by the Convention on the International Trade.
The population of Tibetan antelopes has dropped from several million to below 100,000 in the past two decades due to extensive poaching and human encroachment of their habitat.
The team will also collect samples of the area's plants to establish a gene databank and try to chart the area's ecological and environment trends over the past 15 years, said the team's head Ding Lin, a researcher with the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Martha and Four Friends
Date: 09/17/2001 at 07:30:12 From: vidya Subject: Combinations permutations Martha and four friends go to a movie. How many different ways can they sit together with Martha always between two friends? My answer is 72, whereas the solutions gives the answer to the question as 24. Thanking you in anticipation, Vidya
Date: 09/17/2001 at 09:56:06 From: Doctor Ian Subject: Re: Combinations permutations Hi Vidya, I get the same answer you do. The total number of ways that they can sit together is 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 The total number of ways that Martha can sit on the left end is 4! = 24 The total number of ways that she can sit on the right end is 4! = 24 So the total number of ways that she can sit in the middle must be 120 - 24 - 24 = 72 I'm guessing that the person who said that 24 is the answer reasoned this way: There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways that Martha can sit with two of her friends on the inside. Then there are 4 ways to choose the person on the left; which leaves just 1 way to choose the person on the right; for a total of 4*3*2*1*1 = 24 ways for the friends to sit together. However, this is incorrect, since it doesn't take into account the ways that the inner and outer groups can be chosen. But as I said, I'm just guessing. But in problems like this - assuming they are small enough - there is always a way to settle a question definitively, which is to enumerate all the possibilities. To generate them systematically, I'm going to use the notation '-- ---', in which the left side represents choices that have been made, and the right side represents the unchosen elements. And let's say that Martha is 'a', and mark each permutation in which she doesn't appear on either end. a bcde -> ab cde -> abc de -> abcde abced abd ce -> abdce abdec abe cd -> abecd abedc ac bde -> acb de -> acbde acbed acd be -> acdbe acdeb ace bd -> acebd acedb ad bce -> adb ce -> adbce adbec adc be -> adcbe adceb ade bc -> adebc adecb ae bcd -> aeb cd -> aebcd aebdc aec bd -> aecbd aecdb aed bc -> aedbc aedcb b acde -> ba cde -> bac de -> bacde * baced * bad ce -> badce * badec * bae cd -> baecd * baedc * bc ade -> bca de -> bcade * bcaed * bcd ae -> bcdae * bcdea bce ad -> bcead * bceda bd ace -> bda ce -> bdace * bdaec * bdc ae -> bdcae * bdcea bde ac -> bdeac * bdeca be acd -> bea cd -> beacd * beadc * bec ad -> becad * becda bed ac -> bedac * bedca c abde -> ca bde -> cab de -> cabde * cabed * cad be -> cadbe * cadeb * cae bd -> caebd * caedb * cb ade -> cba de -> cbade * cbaed * cbd ae -> cbdae * cbdea cbe ad -> cbead * cbeda cd abe -> cda be -> cdabe * cdaeb * cdb ae -> cdbae * cdbea cde ab -> cdeab * cdeba ce abd -> cea bd -> ceabd * ceadb * ceb ad -> cebad * cebda ced ab -> cedab * cedba d abce -> da bce -> dab ce -> dabce * dabec * dac be -> dacbe * daceb * dae bc -> daebc * daecb * db ace -> dba ce -> dbace * dbaec * dbc ae -> dbcae * dbcea dbe ac -> dbeac * dbeca dc abe -> dca be -> dcabe * dcaeb * dcb ae -> dcbae * dcbea dce ab -> dceab * decba de abc -> dea bc -> deabc * deacb * deb ac -> debac * debca dec ab -> decab * decba e abcd -> ea bcd -> eab cd -> eabcd * eabdc * eac bd -> eacbd * eacdb * ead bc -> eadbc * eadcb * eb acd -> eba cd -> ebacd * ebadc * ebc ad -> ebcad * ebcda ebd ac -> ebdac * ebdca ec abd -> eca bd -> ecabd * ecadb * ecb ad -> ecbad * ecbda ecd ab -> ecdab * ecdba ed abc -> eda bc -> edabc * edacb * edb ac -> edbac * edbca edc ab -> edcab * edcba I count 72 different ways for them to sit together with Martha in the middle.

Is Semaglutide Legal in Gambia?
Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is marketed under the brand names Ozempic and Rybelsus. As of now, there is no clear information on the legality of semaglutide in Gambia. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist in Gambia to determine if semaglutide is available and legal for use in the country.
What Are Some Alternatives to Semaglutide in Gambia?
Although the availability of semaglutide in Gambia is unclear, there are alternative medications and treatments for type 2 diabetes and obesity that may be more accessible in the country. Some of these alternatives include:
- Metformin: A commonly prescribed medication for type 2 diabetes that helps control blood sugar levels.
- Glyburide: An oral medication that stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, helping to control blood sugar levels.
- Insulin injections: Injectable insulin can be used to help regulate blood sugar levels for those with type 2 diabetes.
- Lifestyle changes: Adopting a healthier diet, increasing physical activity, and losing weight can all help improve blood sugar control and overall health.
Where Can I Purchase Semaglutide in Gambia?
If semaglutide is available and legal in Gambia, it would likely be found at pharmacies and healthcare facilities. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist to determine if the medication is available and appropriate for your needs. Additionally, you may need a prescription from a healthcare provider to obtain semaglutide or similar medications.
What Are the Penalties and Enforcement for Semaglutide in Gambia?
As the legality of semaglutide in Gambia is unclear, it is difficult to determine the penalties and enforcement for the use or possession of this medication. However, it is important to follow the laws and regulations of the country and to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before attempting to obtain or use any medications that may be restricted or illegal.
How Do Government Laws and Links Affect Semaglutide in Gambia?
Government laws and regulations play a significant role in determining the availability and legality of medications in a country. These laws can affect:
- Which medications are approved for use and sale in the country.
- Whether a medication requires a prescription from a healthcare provider.

The paper concentrates on utilizing CALPUFF to model and investigate the impact of the monsoon season on the dispersion of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from vehicles. During monsoon season, traffic jams have become an important issue in Salalah, Oman, due to a rapid increase in visitors to Salalah at that time of the year. Therefore, the main aim of the current work is to evaluate the region's concentrations of CO, CO2, and NOx during monsoon season and compare them with non-monsoon season levels. The CALPUFF simulation analysis was based on selected modeling days for both monsoon and non-monsoon seasons. The modeling periods' meteorological conditions were multifarious. Thus, as a result, concentration levels, as well as the coordinates where concentrations exceeded the criterion limits, differed. Seasonal comparisons revealed that concentration levels of CO, CO2, and NOx during the monsoon season were greater than the levels associated with the modeling days during the non-monsoon season.

text: 4.4 / 5 ( 22 votes ) How Often Should I Rotate my Mattress? Some people can still remember their parents telling them to flip or rotate their mattress every so often back when they were growing up. Flipping your mattress, they said, would help increase the lifespan of the mattress and maintain the durability of the cushion. In today's day and age, technology has come a long way, even in the world of sleepwear. With so many brands and different combinations of materials being used in order to create the perfect sleep, there isn't really a complete guide to when and how often we should flip or rotate our mattresses. There is even a question in whether or not we still have to do this rotational routine. Why do we Rotate or Flip? If this is an entirely new concept, to begin with, people used to flip or rotate their mattresses in order to help even out the wear and tear on the mattress. Our beds are subject to so much stress whether it be a difference in weight distribution depending on user or lifestyle. There can be an imbalance in how much support and how well aligned the mattress is holding your body at. Mattress stores used to recommend that people flip their mattresses every couple of months, typically three. Flipping your mattress would keep it comfortable and reduce the appearance of a saggy mattress. Mattresses used to be made double-sided. No matter which way they were facing, there was comfort on both sides of the bed. What is the Difference and Which is Better? Flipping the mattress involves literally picking up the mattress and flipping it to its other unused side. The face of the mattress that hasn't been used yet is still fresh and is only collecting dust while pressed against the bed frame. Rotating the mattress involves only turning the mattress 180 degrees so that the other end is facing the opposite end it was turned to earlier. Rotating does not mean flipping as well, so you would still be sleeping on the same surface, but the end that was potentially less elevated would be in the other direction. So which is a more useful method in order to prolong the lifespan of your mattress? Flipping is most likely the better and more obvious choice. If you're already planning on lifting the heavy thing, you might as well turn it to the more supportive side that hasn't been used. The pressure would be more comfortable with flipping it as the stronger side is the new back and body support system. Is Mattress Flipping Mandatory? In this day and age, mattress flipping has become less common in the typical household. This is because most mattress manufacturers have transitioned from making double-sided mattresses into single side ones. How do you know if your mattress is able to be rotated with received comfort? A bed will say so on the mattress label or in the warranty. However, if you as the user know that your mattress has been around for a very long time, it is more than likely safe to assume that your mattress is good for flipping. Certain memory foam mattresses that have been manufactured more recently do not need the traditional flipping as the layers of foam or cushioned material are strategically placed in order to provide the optimal amount of comfort as possible. The thicker bottom layer is often the base support system and the softer, more cushioned layers are at the top where the body makes the most contact. Flipping a mattress like this would result in reversing the layers, and the mattress may not feel as soothing as it originally did. The same goes for pocket mattresses or any type of innerspring mattress. Layers are strategically placed so that their user is least likely to feel the effects of the springs pushing into their back. Rotating would be fine to do, but any flipping to expose the opposite side would be less than preferred by the user. How to Flip or Rotate a Mattress So let's say that your mattress is eligible to be flipped or rotated. The expected flipping or rotating time is still expected to be every 3-4 months in order to prolong the life expectancy of the mattress. There are some brands though that recommend every six months and even others that require it only once a year. The first step is to be intentional about it. Scheduling a specific day to rotate or flip your mattress is good because it allows you to plan better. Giving yourself notice in advance actually reduces the stress in moving the mattress. There's no denying it; mattresses can be pretty dang heavy, especially if you're only one or two people. With master bedrooms or partners preferring those California King or King mattress sizes, clearing the space close to the mattress would prevent any unnecessary damage to your bedroom. This includes moving any lamps, nightstands, or movable bookshelves. Rules for Friendly Flipping Most often when you think of flipping the mattress, it's just flipping it right over from the side. This means they will technically have a new surface to sleep on, but the same area is still in the same spot. Flip your mattress instead from end to end. Lift your mattress from one end of the bed and flip it so the head end has become the new bottom side of the bed. This method consequently guarantees you rotating your bed 180 degrees at the same time; it's a win-win situation. Rotation Rules Starting with the bottom left corner of your mattress, pick it up and move it clockwise until that bottom left corner is on the top at the right. Certain brands will make it easy to rotate or flip your mattress by having some type of visual guide on the mattress. For example, Leesa mattresses have stripes on the foot of the bed. If rotated properly, the stripes will have moved to the head. Basic Guidelines for Mattress Flipping Depending on the material or type of mattress that yours is made of, there are different guidelines for how often to flip or rotate them. Here are the most common: Innerspring Mattress ● Flip it once every 3 to 6 months ● If you're more relaxed with time, then 2-4 times in a year Pillow-top Innerspring Mattress ● Rotate your pillow top mattress once every other month ● These mattresses have a designated side that faces up Memory Foam Mattress ● Brand matters; consult them to make sure they are the same on both sides ● Can be flipped but is mainly rotated Hybrid Mattresses ● Rotate these at least 4 times a year ● Caution: these mattresses are HEAVY. If you think you'll need help, ask for it Gel and Latex ● Designed for one side only, rotate Air Chamber Mattress ● No need to flip or rotate this type of mattress ● If you have a topper, these can be flipped or rotated When to Get a New Mattress Flipping and rotating your mattress won't keep your mattress holding up long enough to last your lifetime. At some point you will need to get a mattress if you want a guaranteed support system. If you find your mattress losing its comfort, or you by losing sleep, this is a sign it is probably better to just invest in a new mattress.

The Soul of a New Hand Tool
Hand levels are one of the standard tools in the kits of house builders, plumbers, and many other tradespeople. Until 1990, all levels were bubble-type spirit levels. But in that year, a California carpenter, Andy Butler, and some Silicon Valley engineers patented a new level that depended on high-tech electronics to show digitally the precise angle of the surface being checked.
The "SmartLevel," as the new tool was named, found a market among users of traditional levels who needed precise degree measurements. Butler and his colleagues, more interested in developing a new idea than amassing a fortune, sold the SmartLevel line and moved onto new projects.
In 1995, the Lemelson Center supported oral history interviews with Andy Butler and other key individuals involved with the development, manufacture, and marketing of this new generation of digital hand tool. Additional interviews with SmartLevel principles outside California are forthcoming. At the conclusion of the project, the interviews, an archive of original documents, drawings, photographs, and other records, several generations of SmartLevels, hardware store display elements, and sales training videotapes will be preserved in the Archives Center of the National Museum of American History.

Drinking, Family Relations and Authority in Early Modern Germany
The ideal of orderly family life in early modern Germany did not exclude drinking. In fact, drinks shared at the family table were closely tied to early modern notions of the marital bond and were also a necessary component of normal work relations. Drinking became a problem only when it threatened the stability of the household. The amount of alcohol involved in such cases might be as little as one drink if the circumstances were unsuitable. On the other hand, drinking that would by our standards be viewed as excessive or chronic could be considered acceptable. Even during and immediately after the period of Reformation, when polemical and prescriptive literature addressing the household was dominated by the problem of sin, drunkenness was rarely treated as a spiritual issues. The primary concern of both authorities and populace was not to protect the health or the rights of individuals but to protect the sanctity of the household and the stability of the community.

, , and
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are susceptible to various node misbehaviors due to their unique features, such as highly dynamic network topology, rigorous power constraints and error-prone transmission media. Significant research efforts have been made to address the problem of misbehavior detection. However, little research work has been done to distinguish truly malicious behaviors from the faulty behaviors. Both the malicious behaviors and the faulty behaviors are generally equally treated as misbehaviors without any further investigation by most of the traditional misbehavior detection mechanisms. In this paper, we propose and develop a policy-based malicious peer detection mechanism, in which context information, such as communication channel status, buffer status, and transmission power level, is collected and then used to determine whether the misbehavior is likely a result of malicious activity or not. Simulation results illustrate that the policy-based malicious peer

The growing number of people who are curious about incorporating native plants into their gardens will have a unique opportunity when the UBC Botanical Garden hosts the Lower Mainland's first-ever Native Plant Celebration and Sale, Sunday, March 28.
"The growing interest in plants that are indigenous to B.C. is more than a gardening fad -- it's a long-term trend," says Rozalyn Harris, Friends of the Garden co-ordinator and co-organizer of the event. "We want to help promote this interest and raise awareness of native plants and habitats."
The timely event, which takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the garden, is the first major local plant sale of the year.
The event features free admission, tours of UBC's Native Garden and exhibits by organizations. South Coast nurseries will be selling native plants and seeds, many of which are available only in the wholesale market.
"It's a broad-based, community driven event," says co-organizer, Ross Waddell, secretary of the Native Plant Society of British Columbia and program consultant for the City of Vancouver.
The society promotes the use of native species in urban landscapes. The city encourages ecological landscaping using native plants to help conserve water.
Plants featured will include everything from vine maples to bunchberry and other charming groundcovers, such as native ginger. Many species of shooting star (Dodecatheon) grow around B.C. So do trilliums, penstemons, lilies, ferns and other ideal garden plants.
"Living things are getting lost in the urban shuffle," says Paulus Vrijmoed of Linnaea Nurseries Ltd., a specialist in native plants. "Incorporating native plants takes gardeners beyond simply painting a pretty picture to recreating habitats that evolved with local insects, butterflies and birds."
UBC researchers have a long association finding, identifying and cultivating native plants. Many native species are selected by the Botanical Garden for development as cultivars and introduced to commercial nurseries in B.C. and around the world.
The Native Plant Celebration and Sale is at the UBC Botanical Garden, 6804 Southwest Marine Dr. Call _PHONE_, or _PHONE_ for more information.
The event is sponsored by the City of Vancouver Waterworks Design, Water Conservation Program.

British artist Benjamin Shine creates textured "paintings" by carefully folding and ironing one giant sheet of tulle fabric. His subjects range from portraits of iconic stars like Elizabeth Taylor to realistic renditions of elderly hands and beautifully abstract faces emerging from the flowing netted material.
Shine says, "The idea of 'painting with fabric' led to the development of this technique where the portrait image is created through the intricate pleating and pressing of a single length of tulle fabric. The technique aims to utilize the translucent qualities of the tulle fabric to generate various gradients, tones and textures."
The naturally semitransparent mesh is layered upon itself to succeed in simulating varying shades. The result is an amazing monochromatic image rich with texture. For some of his more abstract work known as Flows, Shine says, "[They] take their compositional cues from the fabric itself to reveal the inherent qualities of motion, fragility and transience."

The Town of Watson Lake owes its existence to two major factors: the construction of a military airport in 1941 and the construction of the Alaska Highway in 1942.
In 1939 the Government of Canada committed to building a chain of airfields across the Northwest under the Northwest Staging Route Program. The airfield at Watson Lake was a link in this chain. The site for the airport was surveyed, funds were made available towards the end of 1940 and construction began in 1941.
When the United States entered the Second World War, there was a threat of a Japanese invasion of Alaska. The necessity of a military overland supply rout linking the State of Alaska to the lower 48 states became an immediate wartime measure.
During the course of planning, it was decided that the highway would be modified in order to service the airfield sites selected under the Northwest Staging Route Program. The road alignment was purposely engineered to meander and avoid long, straight stretches which would jeopardize large supply convoys from strafing air attacks. In recent years, highway improvements have all but eliminated these winding sections of road, and now the Alaska Highway is maintained to a very high standard. The road surface is mainly pavement or Bitminous treated surface. Gravel surfaces now occur only in construction zones.
The original highway from Dawson Creek, B.C. to Fairbanks, AK was little more than a pioneer trail wandering through 2,450 kilometers (1,522 miles) of mountains, muskeg and permafrost. The new highway was built in a short 8 months and 12 days by the United States Army Corps Engineers.
The Robert Campbell Highway was started during the post world War 11 era as the service road to mining developments in the east-central Yukon and completed in 1968.
The original Watson Lake town site was at the Airport but moved to the "Wye" as it was now the regional link between the Alaska and Robert Campbell Highways.The community of Watson Lake began as an accommodations and supply center for the construction of the highway. In that same year, a roadway was built between Watson Lake and Lower Post, the northern most community in B.C.
Today, the Town of Watson Lake is the key transportation, communication and distribution center for mining and logging activities in the southern Yukon, Northern B.C. and a portion of the N.W.T. It also serves as a major service area for tourism and is the site of the Regional Territorial Government administration services.

Jelly Mould Pavilions
27 March - 6 June 2010
'Jelly Mould Pavilions' is a quirky yet thought provoking exhibition by artist Lubaina Himid. The exhibition explores the challenges of commemorating the ongoing contribution of the people of the African diaspora to the history, culture and fabric of Liverpool.
'Jelly Mould Pavilions' features 30 hand-painted Victorian ceramic jelly moulds and 14 prints. The illustrations on the jelly moulds are inspired by influential Black figures such as Martin Luther King, William Still and Dred Scott, all strong and unique figures in the civil rights movement. Lubaina's inspiration also comes from brightly coloured textile patterns from all over the African continent.
Although these jelly mould monuments may never be built, their purpose is to encourage visitors to ask questions about the city's history, how we can celebrate and commemorate the Black community or whether we do this already.
Lubaina chose Victorian jelly moulds as they symbolise the African diaspora's link to the sugar industry that used slaves. The jelly moulds are a device to encourage visitors to talk about enslavement, commerce and pleasure.
Jelly mould interventions!
As well as the main exhibition at Sudley House there will be jelly mould interventions in the following venues:

Sunflower Heart Chips
A mixture of broken and small sunflower hearts, these sunflower heart chips offer similar levels of energy and protein to wild birds when compared to sunflower hearts whilst causing less mess due to finches feeding.
The small size of these chips stops finches from chomping down the middle of a seed and letting the edges fall to the ground.
This leaves less mess on the ground, but also leaves less food available for ground feeding birds such as Chaffinches, Robins, Blackbirds and Yellowhammers.
Suitable for feeding from: This can be fed from a Seed Feeder, Bird Table or a Ground Tray Feeder

May 24, 2012 Words charged with a positive emotional content are used more frequently, thus enhancing human communication.
Scientists at ETH Zurich have studied the use of language, finding that words with a positive emotional content are more frequently used in written communication. This result supports the theory that social relations are enhanced by a positive bias in human communication. The study by David Garcia and his colleagues from the Chair of Systems Design is published in the first issue of the new SpringerOpen journal EPJ Data Science.
Previous studies focused on word lengths and frequency. They demonstrated that frequency depends on the length of words used, as a result of the principle of least effort influencing the use of shorter words. In contrast, this study focused on how the emotions expressed in words relate to the word frequency and its information content. The authors focused on words used in written emotional expression in the three most popular European languages online: English, German and Spanish.
They exploited a dataset on human behavior on the Internet, which includes texts from blogs, chat rooms and forums, among other sources. After performing a quantitative analysis on this dataset, the authors found that positive words appeared more frequently than words associated with a negative emotion. This suggests that the emotional content affects the words' frequency, even though the overall emotional content of the studied words is neutral on average. These findings support existing theories that there is a positive bias in human expression to facilitate social interaction.
Going one step further, the authors also focused on words within their context and realized that positive words carried less information than negative ones. Therefore, because of the positive bias observed in human communication, positive words are more likely to be used whereas negative expressions could be reserved to transmit information about urgent threats and dangerous events.

IMS Learning Information Services - Overview
The Learning Information Services (LIS) specification is the definition of how systems manage the exchange of information that describes people, groups, memberships, courses and outcomes within the context of learning. This specification establishes the means by which learning management systems exchange relevant information i.e. it defines system interoperability through a set of identified services.
IMS Global Learning Consortium
IMPORTANT: The LIS v2.0 specification supersedes the IMS GLC Enterprise Services v1.0 specification.
The specification is based upon the concepts of:
- Interoperability – LIS focuses on the exchange of information between learning information systems e.g. student information system, learning management system, etc. There are no assumptions in the specification on how the data is managed internally within a learning information system;
- Service-oriented – LIS defines the exchange of information in terms of the services being supplied by the collaboration of the systems;
- Component-based – the LIS are composed of the Person Management Service (PMS), Group Management Service (GMS), Membership Management Services (MMS), Course Management Service (CMS), Outcomes Management Service (OMS) and the Bulk Data Exchange Management Service (BDEMS);
- Behaviors and data models – the LIS are defined in terms of their behaviors and data models. The behaviors cause changes in the state of the data model and the state of the data model will only be altered as a result of a clearly defined behaviour;
- Multiple Bindings – the LIS information model is to be defined so that a range of different bindings can be made available. The bindings of immediate importance are to the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
|The Set of Services
The LIS consists of six services that can either be used individually or in various combinations.
The six services are:
- Person Management Service Information Model (PMS) – to manage and manipulate information about People by exchange data about the people who are participating in learning;
- Group Management Service Information Model (GMS) – to manage and manipulate organizational structures, and other Group structures, by exchanging information about those structures;
- Membership Management Service Information Model (MMS) – to manage and manipulate enrolment of People on Courses, and other Group activities, by exchanging information about those memberships;
- Course Management Service Information Model (CMS) – to manage and manipulate Course structure information by exchanging data for about taught courses;
- Outcomes Management Service Information Model (OMS) – to manage and manipulate results information, used in Grade books etc, by exchanging data for outcomes information;
- Bulk Data Exchange Management Services Information Model (BDEMS) – to provide initialization and synchronization transfer of very large amounts of data. This includes support for the data models from each of the other five services.
|The Higher Education Profiles
The Higher Education (HE) Profiles identify the minimal subset of the functionality that must be supported by systems developed for deployment in HE. These Profiles (there is a Core plus several Additions) define the set of operations and data models that must be supported by the systems supporting the set of services within the LIS. A system can support greater functionality but there is no guarantee of interoperability for those extra features. Interoperability is only guaranteed for the functionality described in the HE Profiles.
The Core Profile consists of:
- The createPerson, deletePerson, readPerson, readPersons and replacePerson operations for the Person Management Service;
- The createMembership, deleteMembership, readMembership, readMemberships and replaceMembership operations for the Membership Management Service;
- The createCourseSection, deleteCourseSection, readCourseSection, readCourseSections and replaceCourseSection operations for the Course Management Service;
- The readResult and readResultIdsForLineItemWithLineItemType operations for the Outcomes Management Service;
- The announceBulkDataExchange and the reportBulkDataExchange operations for the Bulk Data Exchange Management Service.
|The four Addition Profiles are:
- Group – provides support for the management of Groups using the Group Management Service;
- Grade – provides support for the management of grades and grade books using the Outcomes Management Service;
- Combined Sections – provides support for the management of SectionAssociations using the Course Management Service;
- Full Course Hierarchy – provides support for the management of the full course structure (templates, offerings, sections and section associations) using the Course Management Service.

$ to $[0,1/2]$ modify Cantor's proof of the uniqueness of $\mathbb{Q}$ to construct an order-isomorphism $g$ between $D\cap(0,1/2)$ and $E=\bigcup_{n=1}^\infty A_{2n}$ that maps $A_n\cap(0,1/2)$ onto $A_{2n}$ for each $n$. Then define $f(x)=\sup\lbrace g(d):d\in D, d < x \rbrace $. Define $f$ on $[1/2,1]$ in a similar fashion.
Another addendum: I missed/overlooked the condition that $D=f^{-1}[D]$; my map is a bijection from $D$ to itself and that's it. The near-homeomorphisms on the square settle it nicely. In the spirit of those constructions one can get a one-dimensional example on the $\sin\frac1x$-curve: in every arc between points with coordinates $((n+\frac12)\pi)^{-1}$ and $((n+\frac32)\pi)^{-1}$ shrink the interval of points with $y$-coordinates between $-1/2$ and $1/2$ to the interval $[-1/n,1/n]$, everything in a bijective way. Then on the limit segment $\lbrace0\rbrace\times[-1,1]$ the interval $[-1/2,1/2]$ is collapsed to a point. Here $D$ is the graph of $\sin\frac1x$ of course.

I think your counterexample contains a bug (probably the problem is in the continuous extension). In fact I think I can prove that if X=[0,1] (or 1-dimensional) then the claim of FelipeG is true. – ccarminat Oct 31 '11 at 8:03
---I think I can prove that if X=[0,1] (or 1-dimensional) then the claim of FelipeG is true--- That's unlikely. Take $f:x\mapsto 2x^2-1$ on $[-1,1]$ and take some dense set of transcendental algebraicly independent numbers. Now, for each number take its full forward orbit and some its backward orbit (say, choosing the preimage from $[0,1]$ at each step). Clearly, all numbers you get will be different, so $f$ is one to one on the resulting dense set $D$. A similar construction should work in all but very degenerate metric spaces. – fedja Oct 31 '11 at 13:20
Fedja, if you only take some of the pre-image, then you won't have $f^{-1}(D)=D$. – Joel David Hamkins Oct 31 '11 at 13:26

Difference Between String and str in Rust
Alex Garella
18th March 2023
In Rust, there are two main string types: String and str.
The primary differences between them are in ownership, mutability, and how they are stored in memory.
String
 - Growable, mutable, owned, heap-allocated string type.
 - Represented as a Vec<u8> under the hood, so it can be resized.
Usage
 - When you need a modifiable string, e.g., appending, inserting, or removing characters.
 - When the size of the string is unknown or may change during runtime.
 - When you want to pass ownership of the string to another function or return it from a function.
Downsides
 - Less efficient when dealing with constant or fixed-length strings due to heap allocation and resizing operations.
 - Potential performance overhead due to heap allocation and deallocation.
Code example
fn main() { let mut s = String::from("Hello"); // Create a new String with content "Hello" s.push_str(", world!"); // Append the string ", world!" to the original String println!("{}", s); // Output: "Hello, world!" }
str
 - Immutable, borrowed, fixed-length, stack- or heap-allocated string slice.
 - Often seen in its borrowed form, &str.
Usage
 - When you need a constant, fixed-length string or a read-only view of a String.
 - When you want to avoid heap allocation for better performance.
 - When you want to create a function that accepts both String and &str by using &str as the input type.
Downsides
 - Cannot be modified, so it's not suitable for cases where you need to change the string.
 - Can lead to lifetime-related issues when borrowing from other string types, requiring explicit lifetime annotations in some cases.
Code example
fn main() { let s: &str = "Hello"; // Create a new &str with content "Hello" // The following line would produce a compile-time error since &str is immutable: // s.push_str(", world!"); println!("{}", s); // Output: "Hello" }
Converting between String and &str
Here is a code example of how to convert beteen String and &str
fn main() { let s = String::from("Hello"); // Create a new String with content "Hello" let s_slice: &str = &s; // Create a &str slice that borrows from the String println!("String: {}", s); // Output: "Hello" println!("&str: {}", s_slice); // Output: "Hello" }
Summary
 - Use String when you need a mutable, growable string.
 - Use str (usually in its borrowed form, &str) when you need an immutable, fixed-length string.

New Study by HCE Members Shows Intermediate Agriculture Can Contribute to Sustainable Farming
A recent study published in the peer-reviewed journal "Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems" examines the benefits of intermediate agriculture, a farming method that cultivates crops without chemical pesticides but without organic certification. The study was conducted by the AgroBioDiv project, which is led by HCE members Prof. Dr. Marcus Koch and Prof. Dr. Jale Tosun. It focuses on the KraichgauKorn farmers' cooperative in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The cooperative comprises conventional farmers who avoid using pesticides during the growing season for KraichgauKorn cereal grains. The research examines the impact of this farming method on cropland biodiversity and its potential contribution to sustainable agriculture. The study found that intermediate agriculture increased weed species biodiversity compared to conventional fields, but lower levels of biodiversity than organic fields. The researchers also found more endangered wild species on KraichgauKorn fields than conventional fields, with organic fields exhibiting the highest presence of endangered flora.
The open access papers, "Intermediate Agriculture and Biodiversity: Insights from the AgroBioDiv Project," is available via the following link: To the publication

The :first-child pseudo-class only looks at the first child node, so if the first child isn't an element[bla="3"], then nothing is selected.
There isn't a similar filter pseudo-class for attributes. An easy way around this is to select every one then exclude what comes after the first (this trick is explained here and here):
element[bla="3"] {
}
element[bla="3"] ~ element[bla="3"] {
 /* Reverse the above rule */
}
This, of course, only works for applying styles; if you want to pick out that element for purposes other than styling (since your markup appears to be arbitrary XML rather than HTML), you'll have to use something else like document.querySelector():
var firstChildWithAttr = document.querySelector('element[bla="3"]');
Or an XPath expression:
//element[@bla='3'][1]

The role of mobile telephony on creating competitive advantage in the informal sector business in Kenya:a survey of Muthurwa Open Market
Kimani, Mwaura Reuben
MetadataShow full item record
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of mobile phones on creating competitive advantage in the informal sector businesses in Kenya. The study employed a descriptive research design to explore the impact of mobile phones on the growth and survival of informal sectors business in Kenya. In particular, the current study searched to answer the question "What is the role of mobile phones on creating competitive advantage by the informal sector businesses in Kenya?" The study also sought to determine whether the use of mobile phones reduces the costs of operation, increase sales, improve business growth and meet customers' needs. The scope of the study was limited to the informal sector businesses within Nairobi county particularly Muthurwa open market. The population of interest consisted of all the operators at Muthurwa open-market. The target population composed of 1200 operators. From the sampling frame, 150 respondents from the various categories were be involved. The respondents were selected using stratified random sampling. The population was stratified on the basis of category of informal sector business operated. The data collection method for this research was a questionnaire. A draft questionnaire was presented to ten respondents from two informal business categories after which it was redesigned based on the feedback. The questionaire was administered through drop and pick method. A interview was administered to respondents who would not read and write. The collected data was edited, coded and tabulated then entered into a personal computer for analysis using the statistical packages, SPSS and Microsoft Excel. The collected data was the analyzed based on the objective of the study. A systematic presentation of both quantitative and qualitative was done using graphs and pie charts. Challenges facing informal sector businesses were identified and how the use of mobile phones have tried to solve the identified challenges. From the analysis of the data collected, the researcher summarizes the various findings from the study on how mobile telephony had impacted on the informal sector businesses. The researcher further suggest in depth study to be carried out on how the use of mobile telephony can enhance survival of informal sector businesses in a dynamic competitive environment.

 3. Loop your finger into the cam lever and pull the module straight out of the system.
 2. Install the system management module into the replacement controller module in the same slot that it was in on the impaired controller module:
 1. Align the edges of the System Management module with the system opening and gently push it into the controller module.
 2. Gently slide the module into the slot until the cam latch begins to engage with the I/O cam pin, and then rotate the cam latch all the way up to lock the module in place.
Step 8: Move the NVRAM module
Move the NVRAM module to the replacement controller module.
Remove the NVRAM12 module and DIMMs
Callout number 1
Cam locking button
Callout number 2
DIMM locking tab
 1. Remove the NVRAM module from the impaired controller module:
 1. Depress the cam latch button.
 The cam button moves away from the chassis.
 2. Rotate the cam latch as far as it will go.
 3. Remove the NVRAM module from the enclosure by hooking your finger into the cam lever opening and pulling the module out of the enclosure.
 2. Install the NVRAM module into slot 4/5 in the replacement controller module:
 1. Align the module with the edges of the chassis opening in slot 4/5.
 2. Gently slide the module into the slot all the way, and then push the cam latch all the way up to lock the module in place.
Step 9: Install the controller module
Reinstall the controller module and reboot it.
 1. Ensure the air duct is completely closed by rotating it down as far as it will go.
 It must lie flush against the controller module sheet metal.
 2. Align the end of the controller module with the opening in the chassis, and then gently push the controller module halfway into the system.
 Note Do not completely insert the controller module in the chassis until instructed to do so.
 3. Recable the system, as needed.
 If you removed the transceivers (QSFPs or SFPs), remember to reinstall them if you are using fiber optic cables.
 4. Complete the reinstallation of the controller module:
 1. Firmly push the controller module into the chassis until it meets the midplane and is fully seated.
 The locking latches rise when the controller module is fully seated.
 Note Do not use excessive force when sliding the controller module into the chassis to avoid damaging the connectors.
 1. Rotate the locking latches upward into the locked position.
 5. Plug the power cords into the power supplies.
 Note If you have DC power supplies, reconnect the power block to the power supplies after the controller module is fully seated in the chassis.
 The controller module boots when power is restored. If it boots to the LOADER prompt, reboot the controller with the boot_ontap command.
 6. Restore automatic giveback if you disabled it by using the storage failover modify -node local -auto-giveback true command.
 7. If AutoSupport is enabled, restore/unsuppress automatic case creation by using the system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=END command.
 8. If you have not already done so, reinstall the cable management device and recable the controller.

text: Unis is a nurse expert system prototype specifically designed to assist nurses caring for elderly, incontinent patients residing in nursing homes. Two studies measuring the performance level of UNIS were implemented. In the first study, results of sessions with UNIS on case studies of elderly, incontinent patients were compared to sessions with nurse experts. The relevance of questions, value of recommendations and overall performance were rated by an evaluation panel. In the second study, UNIS was implemented on two nursing units in a nursing home. The number of wet occurrences of patients residing on units where UNIS was consulted by nurses was compared to the number of wet occurrences of patients residing on units where UNIS was not consulted by nurses. The knowledge of urinary incontinence of nurses who consulted UNIS and those who did not consult UNIS were also compared. The results indicate that when judged by an evaluation panel, the relevance of the questions and value of the recommendations generated by UNIS were not rated significantly different than ratings assigned to nurse experts consulting on the same case studies. There was a significant difference between assigned ratings for overall performance; F.01 (4,16) = 10.4. UNIS scored the highest on four out of five case studies. In the second study, the number of wet occurrences of patients residing on units where nurses consulted UNIS decreased significantly; F.01 (2,9) = 34.67. The knowledge of urinary incontinence also improved significantly when nurses' consulted UNIS; F.001 (2,157) = 19.46. The methods and results of these two studies are presented.

Select Guidance Pattern screen (WAYLINE)
Select to access the Select Guidance Pattern screen. This screen will allow you to select a Guidance pattern to help guide your vehicle as you move across a given field.
Selected Guidance Pattern indicated in Bold
Select Guidance Pattern screen
- Select to select AB Lines Guidance pattern.
- Select to select Identical Curves Guidance pattern.
- Select to select Adaptive Curves Guidance pattern.
- Select to select Pivots Guidance pattern.
- Select to cancel the selection and return to the Guidance screen.
- Select to accept the selection. If accepted, you will be taken to a screen similar to the one shown in figure 6-18. This screen appears when a Guidance pattern is accepted. Here you
7. Note – This button only appears when AB lines is selected as the guidance pattern. Selecting will take you to another screen that will allow you to manually enter the longitude and latitude coordinates for A and B (refer page 6-16).
8. Select to cancel the selection and return to the Guidance Pattern Selection screen.
9. Select to accept the selection and return to the Guidance Pattern Selection screen.
Saving Guidance Patterns for Future Use
AB Lines, Pivots, Identical Curves and Adaptive Curves can be set and saved for use in specific fields. These lines can then be recalled in future when performing another application job in the same field.
Creating and saving these lines can ONLY be done while the vehicle is on the field and a Boundary file or Job file has been created. The only exception to this is the manual entry of A and B point coordinates.
Creating an AB line can be done in either one of two ways. You can either select an A and a B point while you are on your field and your GPS is active or you can can enter the coordinates of the A and B points manually. This is done by creating a new AB line file and selecting item 13 on figure 6-19. You will then be taken to a screen similar to as shown in figure 6-20.
Follow the instructions on page 6-16 to manually enter A and B point coordinates.
In Coverage Triggered mode, the guidance path begins to be drawn when coverage mapping is turned on. The end point of the guidance path is defined when coverage mapping is turned off.
This means that the guidance path will only be tracked when coverage mapping is on. When coverage mapping is turned off and on again, this initiates the tracking of a new guidance path.
This mode is particularly useful when used with Auto Section Control.
Manual End Of Row
In Manual End of Row mode, the beginning of the guidance path is defined when an A point is set and the end of the guidance path is defined when a B point is set.
This is similar to how AB Lines are set except that the guidance path is tracked based on the actual path of the vehicle and not on the direct distance between the A and B point.
This mode is the preferred choice when performing round and round coverage of a field
U-Turn Recognition mode is the same as Manual End of Row mode with one additional feature. In U-Turn Recognition mode, the console will detect when your vehicle is making a U-Turn and will automatically close the guidance path.
This means that instead of setting the B point to close the guidance path, the System 110/150 will do this automatically when a U-Turn is detected.
U-Turn Recognition mode is the preferred choice when performing row by row coverage of a field.

Undergrads Research Bread & Roses Strike of 1912
By Sandra Seitz
Serious historical research involves dusty documents, endless rolls of microfiche and long hours in spent in libraries. So why are these students smiling?
Six undergraduate students contributed significantly to understanding aspects of the Bread & Roses strike of 1912, a landmark event in the history of the United States, when 20,000 people went on strike for a living wage.
Their research was part of a course titled Work, Labor and Society, taught by Sociology Assoc. Prof. Mignon Duffy and Susan Winning, coordinator of the Labor Extension Program. It's the foundational course for UMass Lowell's new minor in Work, Labor and Society
The Bread & Roses strike, while primarily associated with Lawrence, also spread to Lowell. The students showed posters they had created about the Lowell strike action of 1912 at a reception in the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, where their work will become part of the permanent exhibit.
The Not-So-Dusty Work of Research
Juniors Jacqueline DiPersio, sociology major, and Janelle Bourgeois, history major, worked in a group to research the grievances that led to the strikers' demands.
"We studied the newspaper articles that were published around the time of the strike, reading them on microfilm," says DiPersio. "Others in the group worked on finding photographs and we met on Saturdays at the museum to compare notes."
"The working conditions leading up to the strike were especially brutal," says Bourgeois. "We had original source material in a collection of interviews conducted at the time and some of them were heartbreaking to read. It was also fascinating to see how much money the mill owners made – there was a huge wage gap."
Freshman students Makenna Campbell and Nikki Gaspari, both psychology majors, worked together to research the various ethnicities of the strikers, a majority of whom were recent immigrants and spoke 20 languages among them. Campbell, whose grandparents worked in the Lowell mills, says, "The research made it real – it brought the people to life."
"Someone had kept a scrap book of 1912 newspaper articles," says Gaspari. "Reading those made the research work even more involved and interesting."
The students also learned about methods of historical research from History Prof. Robert Forrant, chair of the Bread & Roses Centennial Committee, and graduate student Ethan Snow, research assistant to the Committee.
"We started by presenting the students with an unattributed strike photo of a march to scrutinize for clues," says Snow. "They could read a sign for 'Chagaruly's Apothecary' and that led to the city directories, where we could find who lived and worked in those blocks. Then, working from contemporaneous newspaper articles and a 1906 city atlas, we discovered that the strikers had paraded in a loop around the city and determined that our photo must be at the end of the parade, right by the strike headquarters.
"That blew the students away," he adds. "Especially for those students with a connection to Lowell, it was amazing to them how the city had changed."
One Family, Both Sides of the Labor Struggle
Snow has his own family connections to the mills and to labor history.
"Both my dad and I are active in labor unions and my paternal grandfather worked for a shoe factory in Brockton," he says. "But his family had owned that same shoe factory a few generations before, until a nephew lost it all."
Ironically, his mother's father graduated from the Lowell Textile Institute and worked briefly as an efficiency clerk in mills in Connecticut – "doing the work that the unionists would have most opposed," says Snow.
The Bread & Roses in Lowell event was sponsored by the Tsongas Industrial History Center
; Lowell National Historical Park; the Bread & Roses Centennial
Committee; the UMass Lowell Work, Labor and Society program; the Center for Lowell History; the American Textile History Museum and the Revolving Museum.

Why Did Jesus Say He Came to Bring a Sword?
by Greg Boyd, originally posted at his website ReKnew.
Some, both modern scholars along with church leaders since the fourth century, have used this passage as evidence to argue that Jesus is not altogether non-violent.
When we place Matthew 10:34 in its broader context, it becomes clear that Jesus' teaching not only does not condone violence on the part of his disciples, it actually rules out all violence. As Jesus is preparing his disciples to proclaim the Good News of the arrival of the kingdom of God throughout the region, he warns them that he is sending them out "like sheep among wolves" (Mt 10:16, cf. vv. 5-15).

"Transport and cold weather cause emissions to rise"
Germany's greenhouse gas emissions rose to 906 million tonnes in 2016 (from 902 mln in 2015), due to colder weather and rising emissions in the transport sector, according to preliminary calculations by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA). The data confirms last week's newspaper reports. Sinking emissions in the energy sector, mostly due to natural gas replacing other fossil fuels, did not balance out rising emissions brought on by an increased use of diesel, for instance in goods transportation, and the need for heating. "The climate emissions from the transport sector are now 2 million tonnes above the value of 1990," said UBA president Maria Krautzberger.

How to retrieve organizations IP address
I am trying to create a visualization which shows the organization the IP address.
Check this link may help you
thanks @ylasri I am still very confused. is it possible for you to guide me step by step i want to get the ASN from an IP address which is in Log.
How are you ingesting your logs into elasticsearch ? filebeat or logatsh ?
Check this processor to have more ideas
*Depends on what is available in database_file :
 - If the GeoLite2 City database is used, then the following fields may be added under the target_field : ip , country_iso_code , country_name , continent_name , region_iso_code , region_name , city_name , timezone , latitude , longitude and location . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in properties .
 - If the GeoLite2 Country database is used, then the following fields may be added under the target_field : ip , country_iso_code , country_name and continent_name . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in properties .
 - If the GeoLite2 ASN database is used, then the following fields may be added under the target_field : ip , asn , organization_name and network . The fields actually added depend on what has been found and which properties were configured in properties .
Try this example on Dev Console, you can combine multiple geoip processor to get what you need
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip
{
 "description" : "Add geoip info",
 "processors" : [
 {
 "geoip" : {
 "field" : "ip"
 }
 },
 {
 "geoip" : {
 "field" : "ip",
 "target_field" : "geo_asn",
 "database_file" : "GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb"
 }
 }
 ]
}
PUT my-asn-logs
{
 "settings": {
 "number_of_shards": 1,
 "number_of_replicas": 0
 },
 "mappings": {
 "properties": {
 "timestamp": {
 "type": "date"
 },
 "ip": {
 "type": "ip"
 }
 }
 }
}
POST my-asn-logs/_doc?pipeline=geoip
{
 "@timestamp": "2020-10-10T10:10:10.000",
 "ip": "196.75.80.10"
}
GET my-asn-logs/_search
okay I will try and revert.Thanks
@ylasri Thank you how should i visualize this for example an ip address in the log matches with the asn so is it possible to create a visualization?
Yes all possible, all you need is :
1- Create an index pattern
2- Go to discover to search on your logs you will get ip and asn
3- You can create visualization (Example unique count of IP per ASN ... etc)
i created an index pattern
in discover it does show ip and asn
i want to create a visualization matching kibana sample log and the my-asn-log rest is working just fine
The data in kibana_sample_data_logs has been enriched using default properties
You need to reindex the data using a custom ingest pipeline to add properties like asn ...
Try this
PUT _ingest/pipeline/geoip
{
 "description" : "Add geoip info",
 "processors" : [
 {
 "geoip" : {
 "field" : "clientip",
 "database_file": "GeoLite2-ASN.mmdb",
 "target_field": "clientip_geo"
 }
 }
 ]
}
POST kibana_sample_data_logs/_update_by_query?pipeline=geoip
you will see a new field added
 "clientip_geo" : {
 "ip" : "111.58.155.54",
 "organization_name" : "Guangdong Mobile Communication Co.Ltd.",
 "asn" : 9808
 },

yep one step closer but when i try to build the visualization the fields that are added are not displayed inside the table are not being displayed
Go to index pattern and refresh it
Thank you so much for your effort, time,help and patience. :smiley: :+1:
