NAME
Catalyst::Authentication::Realm::SimpleDB - A simplified Catalyst authentication configurator.
SYNOPSIS
 use Catalyst qw/
 Authentication
 /;
 __PACKAGE__->config->{'Plugin::Authentication'} =
 {
 default => {
 class => 'SimpleDB',
 user_model => 'MyApp::Schema::Users',
 }
 }
 # later on ...
 $c->authenticate({ username => 'myusername',
 password => 'mypassword' });
 my $age = $c->user->get('age');
 $c->logout;
DESCRIPTION
The Catalyst::Authentication::Realm::SimpleDB provides a simple way to configure Catalyst Authentication when using the most common configuration of a password protected user retrieved from an SQL database.
CONFIGURATION
The SimpleDB Realm class configures the Catalyst authentication system based on the following:
 - Your user data is stored in a table that is accessible via $c->model($cfg->{user_model});
 - Your passwords are stored in the 'password' field in your users table and are not encrypted.
 - Your roles for users are stored in a separate table and are directly accessible via a DBIx::Class relationship called 'roles' and the text of the role is stored in a field called 'role' within the role table.
 - Your user information is stored in the session once the user is authenticated.
For the above usage, only one configuration option is necessary, 'user_model'. user_model should contain the class name of your user class. See the "PREPARATION" section for info on how to set up your database for use with this module.
If your system differs from the above, some minor configuration may be necessary. The options available are detailed below. These options match the configuration options used by the underlying credential and store modules. More information on these options can be found in Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password and Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class.
user_model
Contains the class name (as passed to $c->model() ) of the DBIx::Class schema to use as the source for user information. This config item is REQUIRED.
password_field
If your password field is not 'password' set this option to the name of your password field. Note that if you change this to, say 'users_password' you will need to use that in the authenticate call:
 $c->authenticate({ username => 'bob', users_password => 'foo' });
password_type
If the password is not stored in plaintext you will need to define what format the password is in. The common options are crypted and hashed. Crypted uses the standard unix crypt to encrypt the password. Hashed uses the Digest modules to perform password hashing.
password_hash_type
If you use a hashed password type - this defines the type of hashing. See Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password for more details on this setting.
role_column
If your users roles are stored directly in your user table, set this to the column name that contains your roles. For example, if your user table contains a field called 'permissions', the value of role_column would be 'permissions'. NOTE: If multiple values are stored in the role column, they should be space or pipe delimited.
role_relation and role_field
These define an alternate role relationship name and the column that holds the role's name in plain text. See "CONFIGURATION" in Catalyst::Authentication::Store::DBIx::Class for more details on these settings.
use_userdata_from_session
This is a simple 1 / 0 setting which determines how a user's data is saved / restored from the session. If it is set to 1, the user's complete information (at the time of authentication) is cached between requests. If it is set to 0, the users information is loaded from the database on each request.
PREPARATION
This module makes several assumptions about the structure of your database. Below is an example of a table structure which will function with this module in it's default configuration. You can use this table structure as-is or add additional fields as necessary. NOTE that this is the default SimpleDB configuration only. Your table structure can differ significantly from this when using the DBIx::Class Store directly.
 --
 -- note that you can add any additional columns you require to the users table.
 --
 CREATE TABLE users (
 id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
 username TEXT,
 password TEXT,
 );
 CREATE TABLE roles (
 id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
 role TEXT
 );
 CREATE TABLE user_roles (
 user_id INTEGER,
 role_id INTEGER,
 PRIMARY KEY (user_id, role_id)
 );
Also, after you have loaded this table structure into your DBIx::Class schema, please be sure that you have a many_to_many DBIx::Class relationship defined for the users to roles relation. Your schema files should contain something along these lines:
lib/MyApp/Schema/Users.pm:
 __PACKAGE__->has_many(map_user_role => 'MyApp::Schema::UserRoles', 'user_id');
 __PACKAGE__->many_to_many(roles => 'map_user_role', 'role');
lib/MyApp/Schema/UserRoles.pm:
 __PACKAGE__->belongs_to(role => 'MyApp::Schema::Roles', 'role_id');
MIGRATION
If and when your application becomes complex enough that you need more features than SimpleDB gives you access to, you can migrate to a standard Catalyst Authentication configuration fairly easily. SimpleDB simply creates a standard Auth config based on the inputs you give it. The config SimpleDB creates by default looks like this:
 MyApp->config('Plugin::Authentication') = {
 default => {
 credential => {
 class => 'Password',
 password_type => 'clear'
 },
 store => {
 class => 'DBIx::Class',
 role_relation => 'roles',
 role_field => 'role',
 use_userdata_from_session => '1',
 user_model => $user_model_from_simpledb_config
 }
 }
 };
SEE ALSO
This module relies on a number of other modules to do it's job. For more information you can refer to the following:

Yield and Rheological Behaviors of Magnetorheological Fluids
Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are materials that respond to an applied magnetic field with the change of their yield and rheological behaviors. In this paper, the yield and rheological behaviors of MR fluids are discussed. Based on the microstructure of magnetic chain a theoretical model is developed to analyze the effect of an applied magnetic field on the yield stress of MR fluids. Bingham model is used to describe the rheological behaviors of MR fluids subject to an applied magnetic field. The results show that altering the strength of an applied field can control the yield stress of MR fluids. The shear stress increases as the strength of an applied magnetic field increases, and it hardly changes with the increase of shear strain rate. MR fluids exhibit Bingham plastic model.

Self-produced booklets by migrant parents about their own educational background
To make a folder that compares the migrant parents' educational background with the Danish school system and its pedagogical background. The aim is to create dialog and understanding.
How to do:
1. Meeting – parents and teachers
a. The parents in each class talk together two and two about their own educational background. They talk about their experiences with: education, homework, discipline, teachers, school yard, and how their parents worked together with the teachers.
Each pair of parents agrees on a history they want to tell, and the stories will be recorded on tape.
b. The parents talk together about their children's education, and choose one ore two stories, and the stories will also be recorded on tape.
An interpreter helps the teacher to translate and write the stories. These stories are collected in a small booklet.
The small booklet will be sent home to all the parents.
2. Meeting – parents and teachers
In this meeting the parents tell their story. The teachers and the other parents ask questions and compare with their own education and school. Then they compare with their children's education and school and their way of learning.
3. Meeting – Parents, teachers and children
In this meeting the children create plays about their parent's stories. (There will be taken a lot of photos of every subject)
The subject of the sketches and the histories are:
- Parents and teachers work together
After each subject there will be discussions, comparisons and questions about the subject and to the teaching which is going on (right) now for the children. Subjects, discussions, arguments and questions are written and collected together with the photos in a (small) booklet.
The booklets are sent to the parents.
Through dialogue, debate, arguments and questions, the two booklets the parents have made themselves are going to be used as a key to understanding. In addition it creates knowledge and the possibility to ask questions.
The booklet can be adapted to different age levels.

Once the mince pies have lost their appeal and the turkey is gone the one thing left to remind you of a good Christmas is your real tree. But what to do with it once the festive period is over and the needles are starting to drop? Have no fear as you can recycle your Christmas tree at Ogden Water. Each year Calderdale Countryside Services receive thousands of trees, some that have their roots cut off and others potted. No matter what the state of your tree they can use it.
Trees can be left outside the visitor centre/classroom and then a hardy bunch of volunteers work the trees, removing branches down one side and placing the cut trees into a brash layer surrounding the reservoir. This thick layer adds a dash of colour during January, but has a number of other advantages. The layer prevents anyone from accessing the water – helping to keep people safe while still enjoying the site. It also creates a habitat that is used by birds, mammals insects and plants to breed, grow and develop over the coming year.
Any trees that are donated with roots on are planted around the estate in areas that would benefit from wind protection or in need of thickening up with firs & pines. Trees can be dropped off until the end of January and there are a number of days planned for people to help put the trees out around the reservoir, for more details please email _EMAIL_

A total order on a set is a way of ordering its elements to say that some elements precede others, with the understanding that any two elements can be compared one way or the other.
A toset is a set equipped with a total order.
The category of finite nonempty totally ordered sets and order-preserving maps is called, the simplex category.
The category of all finite totally ordered sets and order-preserving maps is called, the augmented simplex category.
A linear order is much like a total order, except that it is based on an irreflexive relation.
Using excluded middle, one can move between linear orders and total orders using negation; that is, the negation of a total order is a linear order and vice versa. Actually one usually swaps the order too, as follows:
One often sees defined as but ; this is equivalent, but doesn't show the duality explicitly. Similarly, one often sees defined as or ; this is not even equivalent constructively, although it is classically.
In classical mathematics, the distinction between total orders and linear orders is merely a terminological technicality, which is not always observed; more precisely, there is a natural bijection between the set of total orders on a given set and the set of linear orders on, and one distinguishes them by their notation. In constructive mathematics, however, they are irreducibly different.
For more, including why linear orders are more often useful in constructive mathematics, see linear order.

The Connection Page (Advanced Site Settings dialog)
The Connection page on the Advanced Site Settings dialog allows you to configure general protocol-independent options for the connection.
Advertisement
More connection options are available on subpages:
 - Proxy (connection through proxy server)
 - Tunnel (connection through SSH tunnel)
 - TLS/SSL (TLS/SSL protocol options)
Refer to documentation of page sections:
Connection
Use Passive mode to toggle between passive and active FTP connection mode. Passive mode is selected by default. WinSCP will try the other mode, if the selected mode does not work. The option is supported only with FTP protocol.
The Optimize connection buffer size enables optimization of socket buffer size. It greatly improves transfer speed. Disable it only when experiencing problems. The option is not available with WebDAV protocol.
Timeouts
By the Server response timeout you define how long should WinSCP wait for an answer from the server before displaying window with option to Abort the connection. Note that the window does not block the waiting, so when it is displayed and the response is finally received it disappears itself.
Advertisement
WinSCP can automatically reconnect session, if the server is not responding too long.
Keepalives
Some servers (and also firewalls and routers on the way between the client and the server) disconnect clients if they do not receive any data from it within a defined period. In the Keepalives box, you may order WinSCP to send some dummy data in regular periods to avoid being disconnected. This period is defined with Seconds between keepalives.
For SFTP and SCP, WinSCP implements two methods for keepalives. The basic option is Sending of null SSH packets (SSH ignore messages). Some servers may be configured not to count these packets as data and thus they will still disconnect clients sending them. As an alternative WinSCP can improve the keepalives by Executing dummy protocol commands instead. For SFTP it is implemented as canonization of path /. For SCP it is implemented as echo command.1
For FTP, the basic option is to keep the session alive by Executing dummy protocol commands. As an alternative, WinSCP can improve the keeplives by Additionally reading the current directory.
The keepalives are not available with WebDAV and S3 protocols, as those are stateless protocols.
Note that keepalives are not always helpful. They help if you have a firewall which drops your connection after an idle period; but if the network between you and the server suffers from breaks in connectivity then keepalives can actually make things worse. If a session is idle, and connectivity is temporarily lost between the endpoints, but the connectivity is restored before either side tries to send anything, then there will be no problem – neither endpoint will notice that anything was wrong. However, if one side does send something during the break, it will repeatedly try to re-send, and eventually give up and abandon the connection. Then when connectivity is restored, the other side will find that the first side doesn't believe there is an open connection any more. Keepalives can make this sort of problem worse, because they increase the probability that WinSCP will attempt to send data during a break in connectivity. (Other types of periodic network activity can cause this behavior; in particular, re-keys can have this effect.)
Therefore, you might find that keepalives help connection loss, or you might find they make it worse, depending on what kind of network problems you have between you and the server.2
Internet Protocol Version
This option allows the user to select between the old and new Internet protocols and addressing schemes (IPv4 and IPv6). The default setting is Auto, which means WinSCP will do something sensible and try to guess which protocol you wanted. (If you specify a literal Internet address, it will use whichever protocol that address implies. If you provide a hostname, it will see what kinds of address exist for that hostname; it will use IPv6 if there is an IPv6 address available, and fall back to IPv4 if not.)
If you need to force WinSCP to use a particular protocol, you can explicitly set this to IPv4 or IPv6.2
The Auto setting is available with SFTP and SCP protocols only, it is not available with FTP protocol. Whole option is not available with WebDAV and S3 protocols.

A potion is a flask, bottle, or phial of liquid with magical properties, or occasionally some other liquid (such as acid or booze). Quaffing a potion bestows the full effects upon the quaffer. Some potions can be thrown at other creatures in order to affect them instead. Even if you miss, the vapors created (most potions are alcohol-based) sometimes affect those in the vincinity.
Certain potions can be dipped in other potions to create various effects and/or new potions. Dipping a potion into water will dilute it; a second dip will change it to water. Dipping a unicorn horn into a potion also changes it to water.
As of version 3.3.0, potion types include:
Po"tion (?), n. [L. potio, from potare to drink: cf. F. potion. See Poison.]
A draught; a dose; usually, a draught or dose of a liquid medicine.

Scribble Decoder
New in version 0.5.
Plugin Name: ScribbleDecoder
The ScribbleDecoder is a trivial decoder that makes it possible to set one or more static field values on every decoded message. It is often used in conjunction with another decoder (i.e. in a MultiDecoder w/ cascade_strategy set to "all") to, for example, set the message type of every message to a specific custom value after the messages have been decoded from Protocol Buffers format. Note that this only supports setting the exact same value on every message, if any dynamic computation is required to determine what the value should be, or whether it should be applied to a specific message, a Sandbox Decoder using the provided write_message API call should be used instead.
 - message_fields:
 Subsection defining message fields to populate. Optional representation metadata can be added at the end of the field name using a pipe delimiter i.e. host|ipv4 = "" will create Fields[Host] containing an IPv4 address. Adding a representation string to a standard message header name will cause it to be added as a user defined field, i.e. Payload|json will create Fields[Payload] with a json representation (see Field Variables). Does not support Timestamp or Uuid.
Example (in MultiDecoder context)
type = "MultiDecoder"
subs = ["ProtobufDecoder", "mytype"]
cascade_strategy = "all"
log_sub_errors = true
type = "ScribbleDecoder"
 Type = "MyType"

Why residence event and not Address?
The discussion of how to enter addresses in GRAMPS pops up from time to time, especially with new users. Let's give some reasoning on why to use the residence event for genealogical research, and not address.
You find a definition of an address in Glossary, as well as for Place. So the address is for mailing, while the place is to indicate a point on a map. Mailing is in general not very useful for deceased people, the main focus of your research. So:
- What is an Address?
- The GRAMPS concept of an Address is a particular location with an associated time frame. Think of it as a mailing address. It is intended to represent where a person lived and when the person lived there.
- What is a Place?
- The GRAMPS concept of a Place is a particular location independent of time. Over time, the same Place may have different address information due to changing borders and political situation. For example, Leningrad and St. Petersburg represent the same place, but with different names. GRAMPS offers the alternate locations tab in the Place Editor, allowing to enter different address information of the place.
Apart from this, an event is important here: A defining moment in a person's life. Events can be coupled to places and are a central object in genealogy research, together with people, families and sources. They give a timeline on the life of a person, a timeline on which it is important to also indicate where a person lives.
Why residence events?
So, what are the advantages of residence events then? Well:
- You can attach a place to it. This place will then be the effective address, with possible alternate locations (see the place dialog) indicating how eg this place is called today as opposed to when the event happened.
- You can share that place between people and families. With addresses there is no way to check if an address is already in your database - unless you remember it. That makes it unlikely to discover that two people actually lived at the same address. You can also filter on place city, eg give me all residence events that are in a place with city Berlin.
- Hence, you can search places and see not just what happened in a certain city, but also who lived (resided) there. That's also not possible using the 'address' system. This is a timeline of a place with all events that happened there.
- On a timeline of a person you can see the event and infer details, eg a person marries before or after moving to a new house.
- Using a place for the address allows you to use this place for other events. Eg suppose Jim marries at home, then the Marriage event can be linked to the place indicating his home, just like the Residence event does.
- Just like the address field, events have full time control, so time spans and periods can be used and are recognized for reports.
- Individual attributes on residence event are handled on Gedcom export.
What is a disadvantage:
- For a change in streetname, the address changes but the position on the map is the same. GRAMPS allows you to store this information in an alternate location, but alternate location has no date span, so you cannot indicate during which time frame an address for a place was in use.
Note that some researchers on the mailing list have expressed they like to store address changes in notes connected to a place, instead of in the alternate location tab. This because in general notes are exported to GEDCOM correctly and understood in other programs you might want to use the information.
It is important to note that you could use the Location event also, or make a custom event with a naming that suits you more.
Try it out
There is no standard method of storing addresses in GRAMPS. Try out the two methods, and use what works for you.
Note the following:
- Address is not always well supported in other genealogy applications.
- Alternate location of place used in GRAMPS is not present in many other applications. You might consider recording this in notes instead.
- Events are supported by all programs you use, as is the default place location.

Women MPs in the Moroccan Parliament are a step closer to establishing a permanent committee on equality following a recent study day facilitated by the UK's Westminster Foundation for Democracy.
The study day, held in February 2013, saw 20 women MPs from the Moroccan Parliament's Equality Working Group come together to refine a strategy for implementing a committee on equality.
As well as recognising the need to 'speed-up' its demands for creating an equality committee in the Parliament, the group also proposed that such a committee should be in charge of gender representation in all parliamentary instances and laws. The group also stressed the importance of raising women's representation in the upcoming elections.
(above right): The study day was officially opened by the Minister of Solidarity, Women, Family and Social Development, Bassima Hakkaoui, and the Vice President of the Lower House, Khadija Rouissi (third from left).
Saad Benkirane, a Moroccan expert on strategic planning, assists women MPs representing the parliament's eight parliamentary groups, at a preparation day for the working group to develop their strategic plan in February .
The focus on setting up an equality committee which could utilise Morocco's new constitutional principles to boost and strengthen women's political participation is timely. The Parliament is currently updating its rules and procedures, as set out in the country's 2011 constitution, to encourage the integration of a gender perspective in legislation.
Speaking at the study day, Jamila El Mossali MP said, "There is now a collective reflection from different parliamentary groups and women in search of a more equitable form of coalition, to establish a real representation of women and represent their demands."
During the workshop the women heard from international guest speakers about their countries' experiences in working towards better representation of women within politics, and the importance of establishing women's commissions.
Speakers included Gabriela Flores from the UK, who examined the UK's Equality and Human Rights Commission. Catherine Quere, an MP from France, discussed the role of the women's delegation in the National Assembly of France and how it informs Parliament of potential consequences for government policy regarding women's rights and equality.
Intissar Khodr Jebouri, a MP from Iraq shared her experiences as President of the Parliament's Committee of Women, Children and Family. Jill Kyatuheire, an MP from Uganda, talked about the roles of women's organisations in the Ugandan Parliament.
Tasks identified by the group for further work included the need to better specify its purpose, clarify its relationships with other parliamentary bodies and what it could contribute to parliamentary life, and how it could become operational through, for example, a memorandum of understanding.
The study day built on the outcomes of an earlier working session with women MPs held in September 2012 and facilitated by WFD. That workshop resulted in the establishment of the Moroccan Parliament's Equality Working Group, whom WFD has been supporting to strengthen women's participation.
Women MPs from all parliamentary groups in the Moroccan Parliament came together at a workshop in September 2012 to consider how to establish cross-party networks, to strengthen their representation within the parliamentary setting, and their ability to represent women's voices. Tina Fahm, a WFD Governor (third from left) facilitated the training session.
"We support any form of women's coalition that can boost their political performance." Hasnaa Bouzid, MP from the USFP Parliamentary Group, commenting at the WFD facilitated workshop in September.
WFD has been working with the Moroccan Parliament since 2011. It January 2013 a new Memorandum of Understanding was signed, representing a new phase in WFD's programme of parliamentary strengthening support to the Moroccan Parliament, building on previous activities.

Adaptive molecular decompositions are useful for analyzing nonstationary signals or images. They can be built up from maximally redundant, uniform partitions of unity, the latter being generated by translations of a single atom to each coordinate sample. These decompositions are adaptive in the sense that they respect a given measure of stationarity in an optimal way. The result is a collection of molecules that generate a one-parameter family of analysis and synthesis frames for the Gabor transform. Each such pair of frames ensures an overall amplitude and energy preserving transformation to the Gabor domain and back. Moreover, for a given atom and stationarity criterion, the redundancy of these frames is minimized, and so the computation time for the Gabor transform is optimized.

Introduction: Refurnish Faded Calculator's LCD Display
The LCD display of an old calculator becomes faded and hardly to read in low light condition. The reflector behind the LCD turned dark due to aging.
Here are some simple steps to refurnished it, at least to an usable condition.
Step 1: Tools Needed
1. A sharp knife
2. Screw driver
3. Double side tape
4. Silver of white spray paint
5. A hot air blower
6. Some scrap papers
Step 2: Remove the Cover
Remove the screws with a screw driver, remove the back cover.
Remove the battery if required.
Step 3: Remove the Metal Protector of the LCD Screen
Set the blower to 180 degree Celsius, point and blow toward metal protector until the glue underneath is melted.
Important: In order to avoid the flexible cable of the LCD display melted and shrink, remember mask it with a piece of paper while blowing.
Once the glue is melted, the metal protector can easily be lifted by the screw driver or knife.
Caution: Beware of the hot surface, ESD protection may needed.
Step 4: Remove the Old Reflector
Lift the corner of the reflector by using a sharp knife then carefully peel it off by hand.
Clean the surface to ensure there is no residue of glue, make sure it is free from dust and grease too.
Step 5: Spray on the LCD
Mask out the entire calculator with a piece of paper, only expose the LCD.
Spray on the LCD, and let it dry.
Step 6: Reassembly
Apply the double side tape on the metal protector, reassembly the LCD and calculator.
Finally done, the LCD is become brighter and clearer :-)

Council of the IndiesArticle Free Pass
Council of the Indies, Spanish Consejo De Indias, supreme governing body of Spain's colonies in America (1524–1834). Composed of between 6 and 10 councillors appointed by the king, the council prepared and issued all legislation governing the colonies in the king's name, approved all important acts and expenditures by colonial officials, and acted as a court of last resort in civil suits appealed from colonial courts. It lost much of its importance in the 18th century.

The management of the national nature reserve (NNR) of the French Southern Lands is entrusted to the Prefect and high commissioner of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (TAAF). The TAAF administration therefore manages the French Southern Lands and Seas.
Like other nature reserves, the Prefect and high commissioner of the TAAF relies on an advisory committee and a scientific council to manage the French Southern Lands:
– advisory committee: article 3 of amended decree n. 2006-1211 makes the advisory council of the TAAF the advisory committee of the nature reserve, of which 6 other members are a part of, in particular the representatives of the southern fisheries operators and recognized environmental NGOs. The advisory committee gives its opinion on the operation and management of the nature reserve, as well as the conditions under which the measures provided for in the nature reserve's declaration document are carried out. It may ask the State representative to carry out scientific studies and collect any opinions to ensure the conservation, protection and improvement of the natural environment of the nature reserve.
– scientific council: according to article 4 of amended decree n. 2006-1211, the French inter-ministerial Committee for the Polar Environment (CEP) serves as the scientific council of the French Southern Lands NNR. It may be called upon for any scientific matter affecting the nature reserve. It especially provides advice on requests for the manipulation of species and access to protected areas of the nature reserve for scientific purposes.
Unlike other French nature reserves, the French Southern Lands NNR is uninhabited—the only non-permanent residents are scientists, military men and civilians whose presence ensures France's sovereignty. Indeed, no local elected representative sits in the management bodies of the nature reserve. The nation's collective interests are represented by four members of Parliament who are a part of the advisory council of the TAAF. This shows how important these territories and their management are for the country.

The classic free-speech axiom is that the cure for bad speech is more speech. This Article considers the possible social costs of speech, focusing on speech strategies that impede and degrade change, even if the speech itself is socially acceptable. This Article introduces the Clucking Theorem, which states that human nature unnecessarily inflates the costs of processes related to proposed legal changes. Clucking is a form of externality—it is an action that inflates the social costs associated with discourse over a new or revised norm. It also alters transitions, degrades the quality of reforms, impedes certain changes, and facilitates undesirable transitions. This Article's inquiry into the characteristics of clucking is supported by a qualitative study of debates and disputes over changes to backyard chicken laws in more than one hundred localities between 2007 and 2010. This study emphasizes that certain clucking characteristics are unrelated to the substance of the issue at stake, the size of the population, or the innovation in the proposed change. In synthesizing the study, this Article identifies five categories of individuals who engage in clucking: losers, winners, status quo enforcers, political opportunists, and human roosters. Finally, this Article stresses that civility norms and procedural rules are viable means to reduce the social costs of clucking.

TCulture Polygonum sao paulo
One of the most beautifully coloured aquarium plants. This aquatic knotweed from Brazil probably belongs to Persicaria hydropiperoides that occurs from North to South America, but its species identity has not been confirmed yet. Under good lights and with an ample nutrient supply, Persicaria sp. "Sao Paulo" assumes intensive magenta tones when cultivated under water. The stems have a strictly upright growth habit. If you don't trim it the plant will grow out of the water and start to flower. The emersed foliage is rather medium to dark green.
In trade, you usually get Persicaria sp. 'Kawagoeanum' under this name, however, we are proud to offer you the true, much more intensively coloured Persicaria sp. "Sao Paulo".
As well as all Persicarias, this plant has a relatively high demand for macro- and micronutrients that are also taken up from the substrate. CO2 addition is recommendable. Rather strong lighting enhances its striking coloration. Its shoots are best planted in a group with a bit of space to each other. As well as other stem plants, it is propagated by cuttings.
This strikingly coloured stem plant is most effective when planted as a loose free-standing group in the midground. It. contrasts well with light green plants. Persicaria sp. "Sao Paulo" is also interesting as emersed plant for open aquariums, paludariums and Wabi-Kusa.

As we know a many to many association are shown by two asterisks in both end of association. Now I have a association between two entities "Good" and "Invoice" so Good and Invoice have a many to many association but I want to show the "count of each good" in each invoice on class diagram.
How can I show it?

You can use an association class as depicted e.g. here:
Using a new class and two associations inbetween like user1598390 described is valid as well. It depends how you would like to see the relationship between your entities. UML-wise association classes are probably more concise. Regarding the implementation in a programming language both solutions might even look the same (implemented with an additional link object as most programming languages don't support attributed links or pointers).
share|improve this answer
Often times many to many associations indicate the need for a third entity.
You need InvoiceDetail entity.
Anyway "count of each good" should be a method in class Invoice.
public int getCountOfGood(Good good);
there can also be a method that returns a data structure with the count of each distinct Good in the Invoice
public Map getCountOfEachGood();
Good entity is oblivious of Invoice.

text: 'BETI - Female Selective Abortion in India' is a graphic narrative based in India, that represents sex discrimination and gender bias through a cultural narrative with supplemental information on topics such as, science, laws and statistics. The book mainly focuses in the most extreme form of sex discrimination, female selective abortion, which is; is the termination of pregnancy based on the fetus being female. This occurs in select groups in India that sex discriminates due to cultural prejudice against females regardless of availability of resources and economy. The graphic narrative is to educate females on sex discrimination (female selective abortion) and why this leads to gender bias for women and gender imbalance in society in the future. This book fills the gap of information between the science relating to reproduction and sex and what the cultural misconceptions of sex (ie. gender) and reproduction are. Understanding these topics will within a narrative of a story with the right scientific infomration will enable them to make connections about gender based on a different context, through science as opposed purely through cultural perception.

Reading Azure VM name, IP address, and hostname with PowerShell
In this post, you will learn how to create a report to retrieve the virtual machine (VM) name, the IP address, and the guest OS hostname of every Azure VM using PowerShell. I'll explain how to do this for Azure classic and Azure Resource Manager (ARM).
Let's start with the classic model. Configuring VM networks in Azure is very similar to on-premises solutions such as Hyper-V. Each VM is assigned to at least one virtual network interface and can't serve as a standalone instance. Because a VM network interface can't even exist without VMs, my task is pretty easy. I just have to get all the cloud service names with their VM names and select the required properties.
Let's look at the properties of a classic Azure VM to decide which properties we have to add to the report:
Properties of a classic Azure VM
Properties of a classic Azure VM
The following command retrieves the properties I need for my report:
Name, HostName, and IpAddress properties of a VM
Name, HostName, and IpAddress properties of a VM
Then I can just add Export-CSV to that and export the output to an Excel spreadsheet:
In ARM, this task is a bit more complicated. Because the VM and the network interface are two different instances, I need to find a way to connect one to the other for my report.
First, let's take a look at the ARM VM properties:
ARM VM properties
ARM VM properties
As you can probably see from the screenshot, it's not that obvious to find the properties we need for the report. Even though the VM name and resource name are available, the IP address and guest OS name are missing. Fortunately, the guest OS name is just hidden in the OSProfile property. To access the guest OS name, I can run this command:
Extracting the guest OS hostname from the Azure ARM VM
Extracting the guest OS hostname from the Azure ARM VM
I just save the VM data to the variable and then read the information from the OSProFile.ComputerName field, which corresponds to the guest hostname.
Now I need to get an IP address, and as it turns out, it is not that simple. First, there is no IP address field. There is, however, the NetworkInterfaceIDs property. Even though it doesn't give me an IP address, it gives me network interface name. So I can try to extract the information from that, using the Get-Azurermnetworkinterface cmdlet:
ARM network interface properties
ARM network interface properties
As you can see, there's a lot of information. However, for now I'm going to use only the IP address and make a note for myself that the VirtualMachine field has an Id property and that the ID corresponds to VmId, which I previously received using Get-Azurerm cmdlet. Thus, I'll use this property to match the VM and network interface in my report:
Because I need to get the information from two sources instead of one, I'm storing all of my ARM VMs in the $vms variable and all of my interfaces in $nic. You can also notice that I'm filtering the network interfaces, getting only those where VirtualMachine property is not empty.
The reason is that I am only interested in interfaces assigned to the VMs. I'm going through the network interfaces one by one, checking if the Id property of the current VM matches the $nic.VirtualMachine.id. If it does, I find the VM that owns this particular network interface, so I put the information about this VM into the $info variable I prepared in advance. At the end of each iteration, I'm adding the data from the $info variable to the custom PowerShell object stored in the $report variable I created at the beginning.
And this is what my report for the ARM VM looks like:
Azure ARM VM report
Azure ARM VM report
Of course, you can export this report to a CSV file using the Export-Csv cmdlet.

 Great idea, after some attempts, I have made this 1-liner:
 Get-AzureRmNetworkInterface |select -Property '
 @{N='VM';E={[regex]::Match($_.VirtualMachine.Id, 'virtualMachines/(.+)$').Groups[1].Value}},
 @{N='NIC';E={$_.Name}},
 @{N='ResourceGroup';E={$_.ResourceGroupName}},
 @{N='IP'; E={'[' + ($_.IpConfigurations.PrivateIpAddress -join '] [') + ']'}},
 @{N='Subnet'; E={$script:subnet = if ($_.IpConfigurations.Subnet.Id.GetType().Name -eq 'string') '
 {$_.IpConfigurations.Subnet.Id} else {$_.IpConfigurations.Subnet.Id[0]} '
 [regex]::Match($script:subnet, 'subnets/(.+)$').Groups[1].Value}} |sort Subnet, VM |ft -au
 This approach supports multiple IPs

 Alex:
 I have a quick question. Hopefully, you can assist me or at least point me to the right solution:
 I've an urgent project to complete , where I have to look/search for specific value/number ( =>100) in column "P" in massive multiple excel files that I can point to (data sets). After that, I need to print out/save a report with folder name where that particular value was found. I was wondering if Powergrep can do this type of search. I'm very short on time.I've tried to play with Powergrep around, but couldn't find an option where I can look at specific column in Excel files.Here is an example of folder structure and what I need to look for and what is my output should be:
 Looking at column "P" in excel ( column called "Temperature") for value that is =>100
 C:\Folder\ Folder1 Folder2
 Folder1 Excel1 Excel2 Excel3
 Folder2 Excel10 Excel200
 Output: The value was found @: Folder2
 Any help will be much appreciated!
 Thanks! David

 Thanks for this. Just one more thing I would like to add here was that with $info.OStype = $vm.StorageProfile.osDisk.osType you can also get the OSType details.
 I edited your script like below:
 $report = @()
 $vms = get-azurermvm
 $nics = get-azurermnetworkinterface | ?{ $_.VirtualMachine -NE $null}
 foreach($nic in $nics)
 {
 $info = "" | Select VmName, ResourceGroupName, IpAddress, OSType
 $vm = $vms | ? -Property Id -eq $nic.VirtualMachine.id
 $info.VMName = $vm.Name
 $info.ResourceGroupName = $vm.ResourceGroupName
 $info.IpAddress = $nic.IpConfigurations.PrivateIpAddress
 $info.OStype = $vm.StorageProfile.osDisk.osType
 $report+=$info
 }
 $report

 can you help to create a powershell or .net code for extracting all the resources and sub-resources associated if we pass a parent resource name.

 ex: if we say a vm name, then all the NICs, NSG, disks, extensions, etc that is being used in the resource should be listed
 I am trying to create a command but getting error.

Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) along with the Health & Safety Executive for Northern Ireland are warning of the dangers of slurry pits to the local farming community and animals.
Farmers are being urged to take care in the maintenance and storage of slurry on farms. In particular, those with livestock near to slurry pits are being asked to check the safety of the pit.
To date this year, there have been four incidents across Northern Ireland where animals have fallen into uncovered slurry pits or slurry pits with badly fitted or maintained mixing point covers. Last year saw 20 incidents and in 2014 there were 15 incidents.
The presence of toxic gases emitted from the slurry means that the consequences can be devastating to not only livestock but also pose a significant risk to famers, farm workers and their families.
Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) Group Commander and Farm Safety Lead Fergal Leonard said: "Firefighters have attended 4 incidents of animals falling into slurry pits this year. Whilst it is encouraging to see a decrease of this type of incident across Northern Ireland, famers need to be vigilant to keep the farming community safe and livestock safe.
"For Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service, public safety is our priority and the best course of action is through prevention. We would appeal for farmers to be vigilant in ensuring the access hatches into slurry pits are secure and well maintained. At this time of year, slurry is being removed from the pits and used as fertiliser on the fields. This can be hazardous if the slurry pit is not properly ventilated during mixing operations.

Homes and Nests for Wildlife
For the past decade, town crews in Easton, Md., have taken discarded trees to Poplar Island. The trees, strategically placed across the island, provide habitat and nesting sites for birds like common terns, least terns and American black ducks. Other trees are screwed into stumps and become nesting areas for egrets and herons.
Poplar Island is home to more than 200 bird species and 26 nesting species. Projects like using Christmas trees helps attract wildlife to the uninhabited island. Read more.

How to: Use Environment Variables in a Build
When you build projects, it is often necessary to set build options using information that is not in the project file or the files that comprise your project. This information is typically stored in environment variables.
All environment variables are available to the Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) project file as properties.
If the project file contains an explicit definition of a property that has the same name as an environment variable, the property in the project file overrides the value of the environment variable.
To use an environment variable in an MSBuild project
Reference the environment variable the same way you would a variable declared in your project file. For example, the following code references the BIN_PATH environment variable:
You can use a Condition attribute to provide a default value for a property if the environment variable was not set.
To provide a default value for a property
Use a Condition attribute on a property to set the value only if the property has no value. For example, the following code sets the ToolsPath property to c:\tools only if the ToolsPath environment variable is not set:
c:\tools
Property names are not case-sensitive so both $(ToolsPath) and $(TOOLSPATH) reference the same property or environment variable.
The following project file uses environment variables to specify the location of directories.
 $(BIN_PATH)\myassembly.dll C:\Tools

What Is a Bushel of Corn?
A bushel is a unit of weight used when buying and selling crops such as corn. A bushel of shelled corn weighs 56 pounds, but a bushel of corn still on the ear weighs 70 pounds.
The weight of a bushel varies among fruits, vegetables and grains. For instance, while a bushel of spinach weighs 20 pounds, a bushel of tomatoes is 53 pounds. A bushel of unshelled lima beans is 30 pounds, but cowpeas run 60 pounds per bushel. Cotton weighs in at 32 pounds a bushel, while flax is 60 pounds. Although a bushel of oats weighs 32 pounds, a bushel of either wheat or soybeans is 60 pounds.

Case Study 2
How to determine whether a population has unique characteristics that require measures adaptation?
It can be challenging to know for certain a priori whether a target population has unique characteristics that require measure adaptation. This case study presents an intervention in which researchers are interested in understanding if an intervention that addresses barriers to drinking tap water at home will have an impact on beverage intake of parents and children (6 months to 3 years old).
The study seeks to understand and address the barriers to drinking tap water instead of sugary drinks in a community in the United States that is 80% Hispanic (predominantly from El Salvador and Guatemala), foreign-born (68%), and low-income (1 in 4 children live in poverty), with 15% and 26% of adults self-reporting being diabetic and obese/overweight, respectively. Parents reported that their infants and toddlers (<3 years) drank 79 g of sugary drinks per day.
To develop the intervention, the researchers engaged with the community to document how living in an environment saturated with sugary drink options and limited access to clean, palatable tap water can contribute to increased sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) consumption, and how sociocultural norms reinforce SSB consumption in a Central American immigrant community.
Before determining a measure, the research team carried out formative qualitative work, which described how residents in this community did not drink tap water because they did not like the taste or perceived that it was unsafe. This work described how mothers were knowledgeable of the health benefits of drinking water, but food customs and heavy promotion enticed them to consume SSBs. A community survey documented that before migrating to the United States, 52% of respondents drank tap water because it was convenient, they liked the taste, and perceived that it was safe and economical. Once in the United States, only 9% of these same respondents reported that they drank tap water because of safety concerns, taste, and lack of convenience. To determine whether the intervention is successful, the researchers need a measure of beverage intake.
Challenges and Considerations
What is an appropriate dietary instrument to test sugary drink consumption for low-income, low-literacy parents and their young (6 month–3 year old) children?
The dietary instrument needs to be administered quickly but also be sensitive enough to pick up any preliminary findings for intervention impact. Additionally, the instrument needs to be understood by the colloquial Spanish of the population. While multiple 24-hour dietary recalls are the gold standard to assess dietary intake, the data collected would likely yield too much information, especially on foods consumed when the research team is only interested in beverages. Recalls are also a burden on participants' time and require considerable resources for analysis.
Does a brief measure exist that can be used in both infants and toddlers?
The research team can use NCCOR's Measures Registry to locate screeners. One option is a screener that has been previously developed only for beverages and validated for Hispanic preschoolers (Lora 2016). However, in reviewing this screener, the research team does not know if or how the types or quantities of beverages would be different for the study's age group and Central American Hispanic population.
Does the measure capture all sources of sugar consumed by this population?
Anecdotally and from working with the community advisory board, researchers suspect that a main source of sugary may be traditional sweeteners (honey or panela—raw sugar blocks) added to plain water. The study population does not typically consider this a sugary drink, so it may not be captured using the traditional categories of a screener.
From the formative work, the research team determined that the population appeared to have unique characteristics that would require adaptation of the brief screener found in the Measures Registry, which was developed and validated for Hispanic preschoolers
To address the challenge of different quantities, accuracy of added sugars in recipes, and assessment of other beverages that may not be captured by the brief instrument, the research team conducted repeated 24-hour dietary recalls (using interviewer-administered ASA-24) on a subsample to compare to the responses from the beverage screener.
To assist with the low-literacy and participant burden, the beverage screener was interviewer-administered using aids that included pictures of typical drinks and their quantities, and models of different sippy cups, bottles, and cups to better assess quantities.
To determine if the population understood the survey items, instruments and methods of administering them were cognitively tested with a convenience sample from the same population. This was done to adapt language to more colloquial Spanish.
To address the concern about additional beverages that may contribute to sugary drink intake, local examples obtained from the 24-hour recalls, consultation with mothers, and the community advisory board were added to the brief beverage screener. For example, in fruit-flavored drinks, the following examples were added: homemade lemonade and aguas, horchatas, tamarind juices, and mango nectar. Examples of familiar brands and types of beverages within each beverage category were also added. For example, participants were unable to distinguish 100% fruit juice from a fruit-flavored drink marketed as made with real fruit or with vitamin C, but they would be able to distinguish Tampico (an orange-flavored drink) from a brand of 100% orange fruit juice. In addition, the team added an "Other" category to capture information on other drinks that the data collector could not fit into established categories of the beverage screener for preschoolers. These drinks included toddler milks and prepackaged yogurt beverages. The brands and quantities consumed of these prepackaged toddler milks and yogurt beverages were collected via pictures during the beverage screening to assess later during analysis if the instrument must be adapted and how.
- When studying new target populations or communities, all instruments should be cognitively tested to assess if, the question elicits the same concept that the researchers intended to understand in the target population.
- Even after cognitively testing an instrument, it is challenging to know for certain a priori if the target population will be meaningfully different from the reference population for which the instrument was prepared. At best, there is formative work and anecdotal evidence that suggest that the populations may be significantly different.
- Sometimes it is not until the data are being analyzed that researchers may notice that the original instrument does not capture important data for the new study population. For example, in the current case study, if the research team had administered the short instrument without any adaptations and then compared results against multiple 24-hour recalls (gold standard), they would have noticed that the original shorter instrument missed important information about sources of sugary beverages that the study population consumed. Alternatively, if the team had triangulated with observations in the home or had shared results with a community advisory board or knowledgeable key informants, they might have learned that they were missing important sources of sugary beverages in the study population. Similarly, if the instrument is a psychometric scale, and the study population is meaningfully different from the reference population, then the Cronbach α for the scales may not load in the same way as for the reference population. These are all examples that suggest that the target population is meaningfully different from the reference population and that the instruments will therefore require careful adaptations (beyond cognitive interviews) to improve their "fit" to the new target populations' context.

Users can filter a dataset in the goal creation tool, decreasing goal page set-up time and promoting catalog simplicity.
For example, the dataset we'll filter on is Seattle Crime Stats, categorized by police precinct and types of crime.
Let's say we want to create a goal that measures burglaries over time in various police beats.
First, create a new goal and describe the measurement in the Prevailing Measure Definition. This process doesn't change.
In the Prefilter Dataset section, instead of creating a goal based on the entirety of the dataset (Use As-is), select Filter Data First and click Next:
In the Filter Conditions section, in the text box labeled Column, start typing the category containing the subset of data. It will auto-populate with possible category headers. Next, select the Value from that category on which you'd like to filter.
Again, the field will auto-populate.
After completing Column and Value fields, the tool will return the number of entries in the category that match the criteria entered in the Value field.
Click the button to add a criteria to the filter. For instance, adding a similar field like "Robbery" increases the number of returned entries from 3875 to 7750.
Add another set of filter criteria by clicking the button, for instance, to see only the burglaries that were reported in Police Beat C1. You can see this combination of criteria reduces the total number of returned fields to 76.
Click Next. From here, walk through the remaining sections of the goal creation wizard as usual. Click Finish and Save to see the chart, target and calculated status.
To create a goal using a different subset of information from the same dataset, enter Edit mode and click Save As. Give your new goal a name and select the appropriate dashboard.
Enter your new goal in Edit mode, navigate to the Filter Conditions section and adjust the filter criteria to reflect your new goal. In this example, we've modified our crime type from "Burglary" to "Motor Vehicle-Theft" and "Larceny-Theft."
Walk through the rest of the goal creation wizard and click select Finish, then Save. Remember to change the target value and verbiage of your new goal if it differs from the original.

The Weather Underground conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings (including police stations, the United States Capitol, and the Pentagon) during the 1960s and 1970s in response to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
Ayers is a retired professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, formerly holding the titles of Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar. During the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, a controversy arose over his contacts with then-candidate Barack Obama. He is married to Bernardine Dohrn, who was also a leader in the Weather Underground.

What qualifies as a farm in Mississippi?
Defining "Farm" The term "farm" includes stock, dairy, poultry, fruit, furbearing animal, and truck farms, plantations, ranches, nurseries, ranges, greenhouses or other similar structures used primarily for the raising of agricultural or horticultural commodities, and orchards and woodlands.
How many acres is considered a farm in Mississippi?
There are approximately 34,700 farms in the state covering 10.4 million acres. The average size farm is composed of 300 acres. Agriculture makes a significant contribution to all 82 counties.
How do I claim tax break on land?
You can get additional tax breaks if you're willing to give up development rights on your land, and donate a conservation easement to a charitable land trust. This will permanently reduce the market value of your property and allow you to claim a deduction on your tax return.
How many farms are there in the state of Mississippi?
There are approximately 34,700 farms in the state covering 10.4 million acres. The average size farm is composed of 299 acres. Agriculture makes a significant contribution to all 82 counties.
How many animals are in a 20 acre farm?
Total Number of Animals (total acreage = 20 ac) x (average yield per acre 9,500 lb/ac) (.04) x (average animal weight 1200 lb) x (grazing days 365) (20) x (9,500) 190,000 11 animals (.04) x (1200) X (365) 17,520 Balancing your Animals with your Forage Page 2 How much forage do our animals need each month?
How big of a farm is considered a small farm?
A farm is classified of having $1,000 or more of agricultural products being produced or sold. A Small Farm, according to USDA census is a farm that is 179 acres or less in size, or earns $50,000 or less in gross income per year.
How big can a farm be in Iowa?
That leaves a lot of gray area on deciding what's a farm, especially when Iowa agriculture can range from four acres of vegetables to 4,000 acres of corn and soybeans. "There's not real good laws written on it," said Steve Helm, Dallas County assessor, who spent a half hour Tuesday talking with a landowner whose small farm had been reclassified.
How big is the average farm in Mississippi?
There are approximately 34,700 farms in the state covering 10.4 million acres. The average size farm is composed of 299 acres. Agriculture makes a significant contribution to all 82 counties. In celebration of the efforts of those who work so hard to feed and clothe us, we present this overview of Mississippi's top 16 agricultural crops.
How big of an area do you need for a farm?
If you're going to have horses or cows grazing off of the land, you should budget for no less than 1.5 acres of grazing land per animal. However, a couple dozen chickens can live nicely on a quarter acre, each goat should be allotted about a quarter acre as well.
How big is an acre at US farm and land?
At US Farm and Land, we offer humble one-acre lots, and gigantic lots for sale with 400 or 500 acres. Before we get started, let's talk about how much an acre is. One acre is equal to 43,560 square feet. While this may seem like a big number, you might be surprised to learn that an acre is smaller than a football field.
Can a house be built on 10 acres of farm land?
If you have a house on 10 acres of land and have determined that you are properly zoned for farm land, you can only convert the portion of the land that will be farmed, and not the house, driveway or any land that will not be used for farming.

The Firth of Tay[pronunciation?] (Scottish Gaelic: Linne Tatha) is a firth in Scotland between the council areas of Fife, Perth and Kinross, the City of Dundee and Angus, into which Scotland's largest river in terms of flow, the River Tay empties. The firth has a maximum width of 3 mi (4.8 km) at Invergowrie.
Two bridges span the firth, the Tay Road Bridge and the Tay Rail Bridge.
The firth has one major island, the marshy Mugdrum Island.
The Firth of Tay in Antarctica was discovered in 1892-93 by Captain Thomas Robertson of the Dundee whaling expedition and named by him after the one in Scotland. He also named nearby Dundee Island in honour of the main city on the firth.
The Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary were designated a Ramsar sites on 28 July 2000, as a Special Protection Area on 02 February 2000 and as a Special Area of Conservation on 17 March 2005. Several parts are within a site of special scientific interest - Inner Tay Estuary, Monifieth Bay, Tayport-Tentsmuir Coast. The Invergowrie Bay section is a local nature reserve.
The Firth of Tay is outstanding for its extensive sand and mudflats, its population of common seals and for its wintering birds such as oystercatcher, bar-tailed godwit, shelduck and velvet scoter. There is good access to much of the shoreline and many good wildlife watching opportunities.
At some 15km in length, the reedbed on the north shore of the inner estuary is thought to be the most extensive in Britain.

Three specific regions of Ontario were selected to participate in the pilot: Chatham-Kent, Cornwall, and Belleville/Quinte West. Like many localities of rural and northern Ontario, these communities experience skills and labour shortages and too many businesses are unable to fill jobs.
As part of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), the Region Immigration Pilot will not only provide rural businesses the human capital they need to thrive, but it will also act as an incentive for prospective immigrants with tremendous skills and education to apply for the program and be nominated by the province for permanent residence status with the Government of Canada. This new pilot is essentially another pathway for international talent to be streamlined in the settlement process, and to be meaningfully employed by filling gaps that are currently hurting the economic health and growth of various regions in the province.
We at TRIEC are pleased with the new initiative as it presents an opportunity for businesses outside of the Greater Toronto Area to fill talent gaps and in doing so, grow the economy. The province of Ontario attracts and receives more newcomers annually than any other province or territory. And most newcomers settle in the GTA – in fact, nearly 50% of city of Toronto is made up of immigrants. While many see Ontario as the center of Canada's economic and political life, the concentration of newcomer talent in one localized area results in desperate need for skills and talents in smaller towns and municipalities like Thunder Bay, Timmins, and Sault Ste. Marie.
Economic Development Minister, Vic Fedeli, has been pushing for an expansion of OINP as his government understands that newcomers have skills and experiences to offer Canadian employers. To this end, he wrote a letter to Canada's recently appointed Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister, Marco Mendicino, requesting that the number of immigrants accepted under the OINP program increase from 7,000 in 2019 to 13,300 in the next two years.
A collaborative effort by the federal and provincial governments, along with the recognition by businesses of the value that skilled newcomers bring to our province is a win for everyone. TRIEC looks forward to seeing the results of the pilot and welcome the efforts by the province to strengthen our economy by leveraging the full potential of newcomer talent.

Calculate the oxidation number of phosphorus in the following species.
(a) HPO2-3 and
We calculate oxidation number based on the rules of oxidation. For the unknown oxidation number we assign variable x, and for all the known values for alkali metals, oxygen and halogens, we use the fact that the algebraic sum of all the oxidation states in the compound is equal to the charge on the compound. The oxidation number for hydrogen is +1, Sodium (Na) is +1 and for oxygen is -2.
HPO2-3 è x= +3
Na2S4O6 è x= 5/2
Na2SO3 è x= +4
Na2SO4 è x= +6
The fractional ON of 5/2 can be explained by its structure, where it contains S-S bond, thus the charge being divided by two atoms.

Top Vacuum Technology For Space Simulators
Top Vacuum Technology For Space Simulators
January 18, 2021
by Katy Manning
Each year has brought along with it a long list of space-related achievements including new satellites orbiting the planet and different tech products brought to market. This includes specific projects that have been managed by some of the biggest names in the industry such as SPACE-X. The goal of these companies is to maximize new-age tech and bring the world to a new level.
Keeping this in mind, it has become important to analyze vacuum technology for space simulators.
Here is a look at what this tech is all about and how it works.
What is Vacuum Pressure?
In general, space tends to work with air pressure that begins at 100km above sea level. The air pressure that is seen in this space is cited as 0.27 pa. Certain satellites are set at a low earth orbit that can still handle pressure related to gas. Due to this, the satellites tend to lose their height with each passing day.
Vacuum pressure is focused on atmosphere-related pressure that is around an object. In this case, it would have to do with space simulators.
The pressure that is calculated tends to be measured within PSIV.
Since companies don't want to go headfirst into launching random satellites into space, they take the time to test everything on Earth. To do this, they have to mimic the conditions the satellite is going to be dealing with regularly. This is why vacuum technology plays a role in what is being done.
The goal is to make sure everything is tested down to the last detail before launching the satellite.
Space Simulations
The vacuum chamber is set up when it is time to go through a series of space simulations. This means the vacuum range is set up at 10-07 - 10-06. The test tends to be done in this range while fluctuating through different temperature points. The idea behind changing the temperature is to focus on when the sun is going to be closer and when it is not.
There are times when certain vacuum chambers are going to be specifically designed to simulate solar wind too. This is done to handle that kind of pressure without breaking down.
The satellite goes through rigorous testing within this pressure to make sure it continues to work the way it is supposed to. In the end, it is not just about surviving, but also making sure the performance of the satellite doesn't diminish.
Vacuum Testing Requirements
To set up the vacuum chamber, the goal is to take out all of the natural air and begin pumping gases into the chamber with the objects around. This tends to interact with water vapor to create a composition that is tweaked to mimic specific pressure.
This is a key detail to think about when it comes to prepping the entire system.
There are specific blower systems that are used to do this and maintain the pressure. This is the only way to ensure the pressure hits a specific point and then remains there as well. This is key when it comes to managing oil-free vacuum systems that are going to keep the satellite running the way it is supposed to under pressure.
It's important to note, these blower systems can be played around with the handle different pressure points. There are times "toughing" is done with the use of dry screw pumps to create additional pressure.
Thermal Shroud
Let's assume the pressure inside the vacuum chamber is perfect and it is time to start testing the satellites. This is great, but the conditions in space are not always going to be constant. This is why scientists take the time to go through each detail including variable temperatures.
A thermal shroud can assist with this and can make sure heat radiation is controlled down to the last detail.
It is also possible to bring the temperature down with the inclusion of specific cold plates. This can be done with the use of larger chambers and liquid nitrogen.
Space simulators are all about testing objects, so making small tweaks such as this can go a long way. This is also a good way to make sure the leaks don't become uncontrollable.
Dealing with a high-grade vacuum is all about maximizing performance and testing the right way. This is where a thermal shroud can help.
Final Thoughts
Space simulators are a must when it comes to seeing what can and can't be done with specific satellites. Having all of this information not only helps right now but also makes it easier to set up advancements that push the space industry forward without taking on major losses.
This equipment is powerful, easy to set up, and offers long-term value that is a must when testing. The tech continues to get better with time and continues to add value to upcoming space projects.

Types & Challenges
Two main types of ethnography
For non-participant observation, the researcher tries to observe the subjects from distance without interaction, trying not to influence the social behaviour of the subjects.
For participant observation, the researcher builds direct relationship with the subjects by staying in the field, observing and describing the behaviour of the subjects. S/he even participates in daily activities of the subjects to make sense of the meanings embedded in the social practices of the subjects in a specific cultural context.
Challenges of involvement and detachment
Continuous involvement and detachment from the field could be challenging to researchers because:
- They need to observe closely on the social life of their subjects as social actors;
- They also need to stand back and interpret the data collected as social scientists
It is not easy to strike a balance between these two roles (Gobo, 2008).
Therefore, researchers need to be self-reflective by constantly reflecting on what they have observed and participated in by making notes and asking questions to prevent themselves from completely immersed in the field of study (Duranti, 1993).

Understanding Chafing during Pregnancy
Understanding Chafing during Pregnancy
Discover why chafing is common during pregnancy and how it can impact your comfort. Dermatologists explain the causes and symptoms of this condition.
Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative journey for women, but it can also come with its fair share of challenges. One such challenge is chafing, a common skin condition that affects many pregnant women. Chafing occurs when the skin rubs against itself or clothing, resulting in irritation, redness, and discomfort. It can occur in various areas of the body, such as the thighs, underarms, and belly.
During pregnancy, hormonal changes and weight gain can contribute to increased friction and moisture in these areas, making chafing more likely. Additionally, the expanding belly can create folds of skin that rub against each other, further exacerbating the problem.
Common symptoms of chafing during pregnancy include itching, burning, and the appearance of a rash. If left untreated, chafing can lead to more severe skin issues, such as infections. Therefore, it is essential to understand the causes and take preventive measures to ensure your comfort throughout your pregnancy.
Dermatologists attribute the causes of chafing during pregnancy to several factors. Firstly, the increased levels of the hormone progesterone can lead to changes in the skin's texture and elasticity, making it more prone to friction. Secondly, weight gain during pregnancy can result in skin folds and increased pressure on certain areas, leading to chafing. Lastly, the increased sweating that often accompanies pregnancy can contribute to moisture build-up, further aggravating the condition.
By understanding the causes of chafing during pregnancy, you can take proactive steps to prevent and alleviate this discomfort. Dermatologists recommend wearing loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics to reduce friction. Regularly moisturizing the affected areas can also help keep the skin hydrated and less prone to chafing. Additionally, using talcum powder or anti-chafing creams can provide a protective barrier and reduce friction.
It is crucial to consult with a dermatologist if you experience severe or persistent chafing during pregnancy. They can provide personalized advice and recommend suitable treatments to alleviate your discomfort. Remember, taking care of your skin during pregnancy is not only essential for your comfort but also for the overall well-being of you and your baby.
