. This means that the coordinates of these atoms along the other two directions are null. The coordinate of a given atom along the x-direction is generated by multiplying the lattice index for the lattice size. The following piece of code shows how to implement the algorithm using for-loops. The variable x-axis is the lattice space in Angstrom units and nx is the number of lattice points along the x-direction.
xaxis = 3.0; /* this value can be given in input */
nx = 5;
xx[0] = 0;
for (i=1;i<=nx;i++) {
 xx[i] = i*xaxis;
}
We can extend the method for a 2 D lattice using a nested for-loop as in this code snippet:
xaxis = 3.;
yaxis = 3.;
nx=5;
ny=5;
xx[0] = 0.;
yy[0] = 0.;
for (i=0;i<nx;i++) {
 xx[i] = i*xaxis;
 for (j=0;j<ny;j++) {
 yy[j] = j*yaxis;
 }
}
Now putting together what we have learned from the last tutorial, we can write a code that generates the coordinates of a squared two-dimensional lattice and save them in xyz format. The code is reported in the appendix. The coordination in xyz format (filename out.xyz) can be visualized them using the program RasMol. If you run from the command line type RasMol –xyz 2dlattice.xyz.
With nx=10, and ny=1 you should get the 1D-dimensional lattice that is visualized with RasMol (background white, space fill) will look like the following picture
With nx=10, and ny=10 you should get the 2D-dimensional lattice that is visualized with RasMol (background white, ball&stick) will look like the following picture
EXERCISE 1. Extend the 2D lattice program to calculate coordinates of atoms in a 3D lattice for a given number of lattice points along the three axes (nx, ny, nz) and for a given lattice sizes (xaxis, yaxis, zaxis). You may want also to add the possibility to input these parameters from the keyboard to make the program more user-friendly.

AN EXAMPLE OF SOLUTION FOR THE PART 2
This is an example of the solution to the exercises for the last practical. The program read the parameters from the file "ljparam.dat" containing the following data.

Toward Sustainable Provision of Teaching and Learning Materials in Sub-Saharan Africa: a report by Tony Read
An extract from the foreword by Peter Nicolas Materu, Practice Manager, Education Global Practice, World Bank (GEDDR), is given below.
This study was commissioned as part of the World Bank's effort to support universal availability of textbooks in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It examines the cost and financing barriers to universal textbook provision in the region, and
is a compilation of the author's rich and multifaceted experience, across several decades working in the education sector in Africa. It covers a wide range of education issues including curriculum development and review, teaching and learning materials (TLM) provision, literacy and numeracy, language of instruction policy, procurement systems, distribution challenges, print manufacturing, materials development and design, and TLM management and usage in schools. Recent issues raised by attempts to embed information and communications technology (ICT) and other educational technologies within national education systems are also covered, as is the growing recognition that improved TLM system management is a critical component in achieving affordable and sustainable TLM provision
to all students.
The study will be particularly useful for policy makers, development partners, and other stakeholders attempting to understand the wide range of issues surrounding the complexity of textbook provision in SSA (Sub-Saharan Africa).

text: This paper presents an experimental study on the zpin bridging law. The relationship between the z-pin bridging force and its displacement was measured by z-pin pull-out tests. Three types of samples were examined, which included single small pin; 3·3- small-pin (three columns×three rows) and 3·3-bigpin samples. For 3·3-small-pin samples, a typical pull-out curve with initial elastic bonding, unstable debonding and frictional sliding was obtained. A high peak value of the debonding force was reached before z-pin debonding started. After debonding was initiated, the pull-out force dropped rapidly to a lower value, the pins were then pulled out steadily. The difference between the peak debonding force and the frictional pull-out force decreased with increasing loading rate. However, for samples with big pins, it was difficult to discern the peak debonding force.

Dog Growling When Sleeping
Our dogs look peaceful and adorable when they sleep until we hear them growling. You've probably seen it happen because all dogs do this.
They're in deep slumber and suddenly let out a scary growl as their legs twitch.
What could be the cause of your dog growling when sleeping? For one, it could be because they are having a nightmare.
We share with you if it's normal for dogs to growl when sleeping and whether dogs do dream.
We also discuss sleep startle reflex in dogs and what to do when your dog is growling when asleep.
dog growling in sleep
Is It Normal for Dogs to Growl When Sleeping?
Yes, it is perfectly normal for dogs to make noises such as growling when they are asleep.
Aside from growling, they may also be whimpering, barking, snorting, making licking and chewing noises, and howling as signs of dreaming.
Aside from vocalizations, they may also show gestures that indicate dreaming. These include twitching their legs, moving their legs, flickering eyes, wagging their tail, and an increase in breathing.
Both vocalizations and physical manifestations are considered normal when they are dreaming.
It's alright to wake them up if it seems like they are under a great amount of distress due to a nightmare.
You also want to wake them up when they start acting weird while they are sleeping just to make sure they are safe.
Do Dogs Dream?
Dogs sleep similarly to the way we humans sleep.
They do dream. And they have both good dreams and nightmares, replaying everyday activities like chasing, eating, and playing.
They enter a deep sleep stage where their breathing becomes more irregular and they have rapid eye movements (REM). This is when dreaming occurs.
It should also be noted that some dogs dream more than others, depending on breed and age.
However, dogs do not experience sleep paralysis. This condition is usually caused by sleep deprivation, one which is very rare in our furry friends.
In sleep paralysis, we get conscious before the brain "switches on," resulting in our inability to move. Thankfully, our furry friends won't have to experience this horror!
Sleep Startle Reflex in Dogs
When your dog growls in their sleep and wakes up immediately, this is called sleep startle reflex. It's instinctive in animals because of their tendency to react quickly to dangers.
Dogs always assume that the disturbance is an enemy rather than a friend since being wakened up could mean a matter of life or death for them in the wild.
It's normal for domestic dogs to carry wild traits like this. They can suddenly bite you when they are startled by your touch, so it pays to be careful if you need to wake your dog up.
This is also normal since dogs enter into REM quicker than humans. They also sleep more than humans do.
Like us, they cycle through stages of wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and non-rapid eye movement sleep.
Studies also show that dogs can spend 44% of their time alert, 21% drowsy, and 12% in REM sleep. They also spend 23% in the deepest stage of non-REM sleep, called slow-wave sleep.
It's impossible to know how deep your dog's sleep is, so their startle reflex can be surprising.
In normal cases, your dog will come to their senses in a second or two and stop any sudden aggression
You should take note this aggression is not a conscious attack. They don't mean to harm you, it is just their instinct.
What to Do if Your Dog Is Growling When Sleeping
Here are some things you can do to help your dog when they are growling in their sleep.
Wake Them Up Gently
If you have to wake your dog up, call their name or clap your hands so they wake up before you even touch them.
Then, lightly tap them. You can do this with your hand if they're already awake, or with a stick.
Lastly, throw them a treat. This will allow them to wake up more peacefully every time.
Make Sure Your Dog Gets Enough Sleep
Dogs need about 14 hours of sleep daily to be active and healthy. As much as possible, don't disturb their nap time.
Otherwise, it could ruin their sleep cycle.
Let Your Dog Sleep in a Separate Room
If you sleep with your dog and they growl every time they dream, it might be time to put them in a separate room.
This will help you stay safe from sudden bites at night in case you touch them intentionally or unintentionally.
It's also better for them if they are light sleepers and get interrupted easily with your movements.
You can also crate them at night. Make sure their crate is big and comfortable enough, like this Life Stages Folding Crate, because this is their safe place.
Do Not Punish Them
Your dog's growling and sleep startle reflex cannot be resolved by shouting, scolding, or even being physical.
It will just create more anxiety and fear in them which they may exhibit when they are both asleep and awake.
Again, when they growl in their sleep, just call their name calmly and quietly.
Go to the Vet
If your dog seems to be in huge distress when they are asleep, it could be because they have anxiety, cognitive dysfunction, or are in pain.
Fears and aggression can be a result of a traumatic event in their lives. On the other hand, your dog may also be growling at night to protect themselves from further physical pain.
As dogs age, they also develop cognitive dysfunction that disrupts their sleep cycles. They can be more alert, nervous, and aggressive because of it.
Go to your vet so they can determine if there is a physical or cognitive reason behind the growling in their sleep.
Your Dog Isn't Aggressive!
It is normal for dogs to growl in their sleep because they are simply dreaming. Like us, dogs can have good dreams and nightmares too.
Getting woken up and being aggressive for a second or two is also normal for dogs.
If you wish to wake them up, you must be incredibly careful. Call their name before touching them. And gently soothe them.
You can also manage this by moving them to a crate or another room. This helps them get uninterrupted sleep while you stay in bed without worrying about being bitten by your dog.
If your dog seems to be in huge distress while sleeping or if the behavior is ongoing then seek the advice of your vet.

UNDATED (WSAU) Wisconsin has almost 50,000 Hmong residents, the third-largest population in the country behind Minnesota and California. That's according to a review of 2010 Census figures by the Hmong Studies Journal of Saint Paul.
Wisconsin was among the first places where refugees started settling in the late 1970's, after many served side-by-side with U-S forces in Vietnam. Today the Wisconsin Hmong has its greatest numbers in Wausau, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Appleton, Green Bay, Sheboygan, Madison, and Milwaukee.
Nationally, there were over 260,000 Hmong-Americans in 2010 – and over half are now American-born. Mark Pfeifer, the editor of the Hmong Studies Journal, says Hmong residents have made considerable advancements over the last 30 years in their educational, social, and economic plight. But they still face unique challenges which include poverty. The national Hmong poverty rate in 2010 was 25-percent, compared to 11-percent for Americans as a whole.

This study aims to provide estimates of hospital-based emergency department (ED) visits due to dental conditions in Nebraska and to examine patient-related characteristics associated with ED charges. In addition, this study provides dental-related ED visits and distribution of dentists by county.For the study, we used the State Emergency Department Database for Nebraska for the years 2011 through 2013 and the Health Resources and Services Administration's Area Health Resource File. All ED visits with dental conditions in Nebraska were selected. The primary outcome variable was hospital-based ED charges. Multivariable linear regression model was used to examine the effects of patient-related factors on ED charges.During the study period, a total of 9943 dental-related ED visits occurred. Of these, 55.5% patients aged between 25 and 44 years. Thirty-nine percent of all dental ED visits had patients who were self-financed or uninsured. Twenty counties in Nebraska do not have a dentist, and nine counties had more than 50 ED visits per 10,000 population. Patients residing in urban areas paid significantly higher charges than those living in rural towns, small rural towns, or isolated rural areas. The mean and total ED charges attributed to dental conditions for the entire study period were $934 and $9.3 million, respectively.Patients who are uninsured, aged 25-44 years, covered by private insurance, and residing in urban areas are identified to be at high risk. There is a need to develop health policies and programs to improve access to dental care in rural states.

Last name: Darnell
This very interesting old name is one with a medicinal or herbal origin, deriving from the French "darnal", a plant which was thought to have the ability to produce an intoxicating substance. As it happens there is also a small village called Darnell (the place of darnel growing) near Sheffield in Yorkshire and some nameholders will originate from this source first recorded as William de Darnale (circa 1350). The usual name development was Godwin Darnel (1177, The Suffolk Pipe Rolls), Thomas Darnele (1193, the Norfolk Pipe Rolls). Robert Darnell married Margaret Walters on September 10th 1598 at St. Mary Magdalene's, Old Fish Street London and their son Robert was christened on September 2nd 1599 also at St. Mary Magdalene's, old Fish Street. George Darnell married Anne Warryner on November 4th 1616 at St. Nicholas, Cole Abbey, London, whilst John Darnall was Clerk to Cromwells Parliament 1656 - 1658 and Thomas Darnell was a "Patriot" against Charles 1 in 1627. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Godwine Dernel, which was dated 1095, The Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, during the reign of King William 11, known as Rufus, 1087 - 1100. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

text: Graph-to-text generation aims to generate fluent texts from graph-based data. In this paper, we investigate two recently proposed pretrained language models (PLMs) and analyze the impact of different task-adaptive pretraining strategies for PLMs in graph-to-text generation. We present a study across three graph domains: meaning representations, Wikipedia knowledge graphs (KGs) and scientific KGs. We show that the PLMs BART and T5 achieve new state-of-the-art results and that task-adaptive pretraining strategies improve their performance even further. In particular, we report new state-of-the-art BLEU scores of 49.72 on LDC2017T10, 59.70 on WebNLG, and 25.66 on AGENDA datasets - a relative improvement of 31.8%, 4.5%, and 42.4%, respectively. In an extensive analysis, we identify possible reasons for the PLMs' success on graph-to-text tasks. We find evidence that their knowledge about true facts helps them perform well even when the input graph representation is reduced to a simple bag of node and edge labels.

Bad Debt overpayments are created when a receipt (CFFRP) that has issued to the custodial person (CP) or non-custodial parent (NCP) is later removed from the case or moved to a different balance type. The most common reasons for bad debts include:
- IRS take-backs
- Insufficient funds or stop pay for payment
- Incorrect Family Group Number (FGN)
- Incorrect balances and/or balance types
There are five types of bad debts:
- CP Bad Debt: These occur when a IV-D receipt that was previously issued to a CP is adjusted.
- Non IV-D CP Bad Debt: These occur when a Non IV-D receipt that was previously issued to a CP is adjusted.
- Interstate Bad Debt: These occur when a receipt is adjusted that previously issued to another state.The three types of bad debts above could occur when a receipt is moved to another case or another CP, refunded to an NCP, retained for state reimbursement, or a check returned from a bank unpaid (e.g., stop pays, insufficient funds).
- Miscellaneous Bad Debt: Miscellaneous Bad Debts occur when an overpayment is created against a party other than the NCP, CP, or another state. For example, if CSS received funds from an employer in error and refunded it back to them, but the funds to Child Support Services (CSS) are later revoked for reasons such as NSF, Stop Pay, etc.
- NCP Bad Debt: These occur when an NCP has received an issuance to which they were not entitled.

TinyVGA.com: VGA Microcontroller projects
Atmel ATmega Video generator with SDRAM
This projects uses 8MByte SDRAM from a 168 pin DIMM SDRAM and generates videosignal for a VGA monitor with a resolution of 512x480 pixels with 256 colors at 60Hz using mega8515.
The project uses burst mode of SDRAM, which can feed up to 512 bytes without MCU help. This means that MCU can do anything (i.e. generate another graphics) during that time. 8MB SDRAM can be used to store up to 32 frames, so you can display one frames while generating another one.
So far this project works but is not yet complete.
The text demo application shows a text stored in flash memory. Graphics demo receives a BMP image large 512x512 pixels with 256 colors.
The data throughput of SDRAM is as fast as the AVR clock, and the CPU load is much lower than if DRAM or SRAM is used.
Here is a test image in the graphics mode. This picture shows the construction of the circuit: Besides the mega8515, SDRAM, the RAM DAC, a 18432MHz clock and a delay line (or just several gates in series) requires no additional components.

Texas Dust Storms
The same weather system that brought snow and ice to the American Midwest just after Thanksgiving 2005 also kicked up significant dust in western Texas and eastern Mexico. The winds associated with this cold front also fanned the flames of grass fires in the region, adding smoke to the mixture of aerosols. The most obvious dust cloud is a pale beige dust plume swirling through Texas and Mexico. However, a second, more orange-colored cloud of dust blows across northern Texas. Parts of northern Texas saw wind speeds around 60 miles per hour. Resulting dust storms reduced visibility to just 2.5 miles in some areas, and swamped local fire departments with calls regarding both fires and downed power lines.

setActionButton
setActionButton(string $label, string $cssClassIcon,callable $urlCallback[, boolean $newTab])
setActionButton is used when we need to add extra action buttons to the rows of the datagrid. The functionality is simple and it takes the below arguments:
 1. label is the label that the button will have. For example "Photos"
 2. cssClassIcon is css that the icon at the left will have. You can use the default CSS from font-awesome but you can also use your own. For example "fa fa-image"
 3. urlCallback is the callback that it will be called in every row so you can get the custom URL that the button will have. Have in mind that this will redirect you to another page
 4. newTab is a boolean (true or false). The default value is false. This is used in case you need to open the link in new tab
You can see an example of the setActionButton below:
$crud->setActionButton('Avatar', 'fa fa-user', function ($row) {
 return '/view_avatar/' . $row->url;
}, true);
A full working example can be found below:
$crud->setTable('employees');
$crud->setSubject('Employee', 'Employees');
$crud->setRelation('officeCode','offices','city');
$crud->displayAs('officeCode','City');
$crud->unsetDelete();
$crud->setActionButton('Avatar', 'fa fa-user', function ($row) {
 return '#/avatar/' . $row->employeeNumber;
}, false);
You can see the result of the above code here. In order to see the functionality of the action buttons, press the More button in any of the rows.


Re: Best practices: representing homonym relationships in SKOS
From: Thomas Bandholtz
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:10:18 +0100
Message-ID: <_EMAIL_>
To: Bradley Allen
Hi Bradley,
thanks a lot for raising this question, as currently we have discussions
about different approaches of Label management in SKOS(XL), and the
homograph issue has been somehow neglected so far.
Karl has mentioned the difference between homographs and homophones already.
I would say: homographs - same spelling, different meaning ("graph" has
nothing to do with an RDF graph in this case).
homophones - same sound (phonetics), different meaning.
As SKOS(XL) is dealing with lexical aspects ("literal form") rather than
with phonetics (at least so far), we have to care for homographs at first.
One example:
(not a homophone).
This is a common practise, not a standard.
In SKOS you may say:
 a skos:Concept ;
 skos:prefLabel "bass [fish]".
 a skos:Concept ;
 skos:prefLabel "bass [music]".
You might also drop the qualifiers:
 a skos:Concept ;
 skos:prefLabel "bass".
 a skos:Concept ;
 skos:prefLabel "bass".
Then express the different meanings by some semantic relation to a more
specific thing for each of them:
 skos:related .
 skos:related .
There is absolutely no semantic relation between and , it is only
a lexical relation.
Such a lexical relation you can express in SKOSXL in detail (if you want
to do so at all).
In UMTHES we use the following pattern:
 a skos:Concept ;
 skosxl:prefLabel .
 a skos:Concept ;
 skosxl:prefLabel .
 a skosxl:Label ;
 skosxl:literalForm "bass [fish]" ;
 umt:homograph ;
 umt:qualifier .
 a skosxl:Label ;
 skosxl:literalForm "bass [music]" ;
 umt:homograph ;
 umt:qualifier .
 a skosxl:Label ;
 skosxl:literalForm "bass".
 a skosxl:Label ;
 skosxl:literalForm "fish".
 a skosxl:Label ;
 skosxl:literalForm "music".
where umt:homograph and umt:qualifier both are subProperties of
Note that we have only one label "bass" here, as we think that semantics
are in the Concepts, not in the Labels.
Labels are dumb character strings only.
Well, I would be curious to see more examples from different vocabularies.
Best regards,

A comfort object is an item used to provide psychological comfort, especially in unusual or unique situations or at bedtime for small children. Though many toddlers prefer a teddy bear or doll, a stuffed animal, a favorite blanket, or even a toy such as a dump truck could be a comfort object at some stages, as the notion is that the familiarity of said object will help the child feel better, go to sleep faster, or feel less stress in a new situation.
Comfort objects are very common among toddlers and preschool aged children, and while some give them up soon after entering school, the age at which one no longer needs a comfort object varies, as does the time one might need one. Some teenagers have been known to still sleep with comfort objects, though they will probably not talk to them as a small child might. Even adults can use comfort objects at times, as elderly people in nursing homes have been known to be comforted after being given a stuffed bear or doll. The theory is that this reminds them of the more serene moments of childhood.

Mirror Care 101
Mirror Care 101
Mirrors can really enhance any space throughout your home. But when a mirror is neglected and the frame or glass looks streaky and dusty, it can leave a pretty bad impression. Mirrors are the focal part of a room and attract attention, so it's important to keep them clean and looking great. Here are some tips to help you take proper care of your mirrors.
Always use a clean, gentle cloth when cleaning the glass
Mirrors are delicate, so it's imperative to be gentle when it's time to clean the surface of the glass. Never use an old, dirty rag. This can easily scratch up the glass if there are any abrasive particles or areas on the cloth. Using a soft, clean rag or paper towel works best.
Avoid using harsh cleaning agents
Using toxic cleaning agents that contain chlorine or ammonia can also damage the frame, so avoid using these. You can make a simple cleaning solution that works better than those toxic glass cleaners. Just combine equals part of warm water and dish soap. Even better, use M&T Glass Cleaner!
Avoid spraying cleaning agents directly on the mirror
Spraying cleaning agents directly on the glass surface of the mirror allows the cleaning product to drip down and seep in between the seams of the frame. This can end up damaging the backing of the frame over time. Always spray your cloth or paper towel when cleaning the surface.
Keep mirrors dry
For mirrors that are placed in the bathroom or any other space that experiences heat and moisture, this can make them deteriorate quickly if not maintained. Always try to ensure that rooms where mirrors are placed are well ventilated. Any "sweating" that may occur can end up damaging the mirror and frame over time so wipe mirrors down frequently, especially after a hot shower.
Always be diligent when hanging mirrors
If you're hanging a mirror on a wall, always ensure that there is sufficient support to handle the weight of the mirror. Check out this guide for hanging heavy mirrors.
Since mirrors are often a focal part of a room, they should be cared for and maintained properly. There are many common mistakes that homeowners perform when cleaning the mirror that can actually end up doing more harm than good. Avoid these mistakes by following these tips to keep you mirrors clean and looking great.

What would happen if... I have a round magnet with a hole in it. Then I put a magnet shaped like a nail, into the center of the other magnet? Would it float? If I spun the magnet around the inner magnet, would it spin the inner magnet?
Thank you very much.
- Matt K. Leiner (age 40)
South Lyon, MI
The inner magnet would definitely not float. A mathematical theorem due to Earnshaw proves that there\'s no way to get a magnet to float with any scheme like this. The nail will pull over to the other magnet and get stuck on it.
For your second question, let\'s assume the nail-magnet was tied on a string or something to keep it in the center, but free to rotate. What it does when the round magnet spins will then depend on how the round magnet\'s poles are configured. (I\'m assuming the poles of the nail are at its ends.) If the round magnet has, say, the south poles on its inside ring and the north poles outside, spinning it won\'t change the magnetic field and won\'t make the nail spin. If the ring\'s south pole is on one side (say left) and the north pole on the other, spinning it will make the fields spin with it. That will make the nail spin with it, at least for slow spin rates.

Parallel first-year courses join for consumption studies
Many Cornell students cap their academic careers with a public presentation of their research during Student Symposium. But for first-year students in parallel sociology and geology courses, a chance to practice began with their very first Cornell course.
The two First-year Seminar courses intersected around the theme of consumption, culminating in small group projects examining the way physical objects such as cars, computers, and blue jeans affect people's behavior, and the way consumer behavior impacts the world around us.
Students from both courses were brought together weekly to develop ideas and strengthen their research and presentation skills. After conducting independent research during their respective courses, they regrouped near the end of the block to integrate their work and develop a poster to present on the Orange Carpet.
One team studied the life cycle of the cacao bean. While the geology students in Emily Walsh's class focused on issues like ideal soil pH and climate for the cacao plants, Erin Davis's sociology students looked at the personal and social factors that influence chocolate consumption. Their ideas coalesced around the Fair Trade model, which aims to simultaneously benefit local ecosystems and satisfy socially-minded consumers, with better-paid farmers using more traditional farming practices as the key link.
Celeste Torrence, a member of the sociology class, said the project taught her two important lessons:
"First, everything we do is a way to represent ourselves as individuals. From how we act to the kind of chocolate we buy, it's a constant process of constructing an individuality. The second point that really affected me was realizing how my personal consumption affects others. Through what I consume, I can either support the ethical treatment of workers and development of economies, or I can support cyclical poverty."
For Rachel Moline, another course highlight was a joint field trip to nearby Abbe Hills Farm that brought home similar lessons earlier in the block.
"At first I wasn't exactly sure why we were there and what it had to do with our course," she said. "But when I understood the context—seeing her respect for the land and knowledge of local geography—it all came together and made sense in terms of how she serves her customers with a community-supported model and farming practices that are healthier for the environment and for people."


[rrd-users] what is the output structures from rrdtool xport using RRDs
Ashok Nair mail4ashok at gmail.com
Wed Feb 1 02:34:55 MET 2006
Hi,
what is the output structures from rrdtool xport using RRDs. There seems to be
starttime
step
number of rows
and two references to arrays. One array has nested references leading
to row data.
What is the other array for? Also does xport average if the requested
CDP's are less than what the selected resolution. For example if
requesting 10 CDP's (using M option) for last 30m and the RRA selected
has a resolution of 5 sec, and a CF of AVG, then does xport perform
considation to find 10 values and if yes what is the algorithm and how
deos it select the 10 timepoints.
Also my experience is that this is the only way you can extract a
numerical report
of DS's from RRD's. PRINT function in graphing doesn't let you touch
DS and CDEF. Is that a correct understanding?
Thanks

Macros
Macros are built-in functions. Each macro consists of a name followed by parentheses, which may enclose any arguments that the macro accepts.
render_dynamic_content()
This macro allows you to render substitution variables, stored inside the dynamic_html, dynamic_amp_html and dynamic_plain. It will execute all expressions and will track all links.
Learn more about dynamic content.
empty()
Given an array as an argument, the empty macro returns true if the array is empty or false if the array is not empty. This is useful for determining whether to include a header in a dynamically generated HTML table and blocking iteration of the table if it is empty.
HTML
Data

 Name	 Price

 Jacket	 $39.99

 Gloves	 $5

render_snippet()
See this section.
Braces Macros
If you want opening or closing braces to appear in the content, you must escape them. The six macros for outputting braces are as follows:
MacroOutput
opening_single_curly(){
closing_single_curly()}
opening_double_curly(){{
closing_double_curly()}}
opening_triple_curly(){{{
closing_triple_curly()}}}
HTML
Data
Here is a curly: {{
Escaping curly braces in amp-mustache templates
AMP HTML email content may contain "amp-mustache" templates. Most double and triple curly brace expressions within amp-mustache templates are automatically escaped by SparkPost such that the amp-mustache expressions are preserved upon delivery to email clients.
There are certain expressions that SparkPost will not escape. These include:
 - Expressions that contain the keyword "sparkpost"
 - Expressions that are already a call to one of the curly escape macros: opening_single_curly(), closing_single_curly(), opening_double_curly(), closing_double_curly(), opening_triple_curly(), and closing_triple_curly()
 - Expressions that contain use of "loop_var"
 - The "else" and "end" control statements
In the following example, {{name}}, {{price}}, {{#cart_items}}, {{/cart_items}}, and {{^cart_items}} will be automatically escaped such that they are preserved as amp-mustache template expressions upon delivery of the email. On the other hand, {{sparkpost_name}} will be treated as a sparkpost templating expression since it contains the "sparkpost" keyword.
<amp-list src="_URL_ layout="fixed-height" height="80">
 <template type="amp-mustache">

 Cart items for {{sparkpost_name}}:

 {{#cart_items}}

 {{name}}
 {{price}}

 {{/cart_items}}
 {{^cart_items}}
 There are no featured products available. Please check back again later.
 {{/cart_items}}

 </template>
 </amp-list>
Dynamic Content
Dynamic content is content stored in a variable that contains expressions, statements, and links. Expressions inside of variables are not executed by default. Likewise, links are not tracked. To correctly render dynamic content, you must do the following:
 1. Add the dynamic content inside the dynamic_html object at the transmission-level substitution data.
 2. Use the render_dynamic_content() macro to render the dynamic_html variables.
Here is an example of dynamic content used correctly. Notice that the {{username}} is replaced with foo in the output.
HTML
Data

Insert a chunk of html:

Click here

The dynamic content will be correctly rendered without HTML escaping, regardless of whether double or triple curly braces are used.
Plain text
To insert dynamic content into the text/plain part of a message, place the dynamic content into the transmission-level substitution variable dynamic_plain.
As with dynamic_html, dynamic_plain variables must be wrapped in the render_dynamic_content() macro when used in the template.
AMP HTML
You can also insert dynamic content into the text/x-amp-html part of a message using the transmission level dynamic_amp_html variable:
{
 "substitution_data" : {
 "dynamic_amp_html" : {
 "my_amp_html_chunk": "<amp-img width=\"30\" height=\"30\" src=\"_URL_.com?u={{username}}\">"
 }
 }
}
As with dynamic_html and dynamic_plain, you must use the render_dynamic_content() macro to include your dynamic AMPHTML in the template:
Attempting to insert a chunk of amp html:
{{ render_dynamic_content(dynamic_amp_html.my_amp_html_chunk) }}
Complex Example
Finally, as a more complex example, render_dynamic_content() can also be used inside an each loop. This example only renders the offers available as listed in the offers array.
HTML
Data

Today's special offers

<a href="_URL_ wirecutters

<a href="_URL_ bug spray

For AMP HTML, the same example could be laid out using the amp_html part

 "dynamic_html": {
 "offer1": "<a href=\"_URL_ wirecutters",
 "offer2": "<a href=\"_URL_

ETV before EMR
With the launch of electronic medical records (EMR/WakeOne) on September 22, it might be interesting to see how patient records were stored and transported in the past at the Medical Center.
The Electric Track Vehicle (ETV), dubbed "record runner" and described as an "oversized Lionel train," was the tunnel in which records were transported through the Medical Center. When installed in 1992, it saved about 10 to 15 minutes off each round trip.
Records were loaded into a "car", as shown by Dean Bates, a Medical Records file librarian, then transported. Initially, 12 cars rode the rails each day with 425 records.
Prior to the ETV, vans ferried clerks and their carts to Medical Records storage which looked like this in 1948.
Mr. Bates was featured in Around the Medical Center in 1992. Come visit Dorothy Carpenter Medical Archives to explore the history of the Medical Center in publications and artifacts.

| Rattle on the Stovepipe
Download PDF (D6 tuning: a, d, f#, b)
Download PDF (C6 tuning: g, c, e, a)
This lively traditional Canadian melody is fun to play and full of teaching opportunities. Below is a point-form guide to teaching this arrangment to your class.
- The major scale (click here for ideas)
- Dotted rhythms
- Use Uke II as a sight-reading exercise. It's very repetitive and, for the most part, uses open strings.
- Assign Uke II to beginner-level students. (Note: this part can only be played as written using ukuleles with a low 4th string. For more information on tuning options, click here.)
- Prepare Uke I by reviewing the D major scale (C major scale for ukuleles tuned g, c, e, a). Play the scale in using a variety of different rhythms.
- Vocalize the rhythm in m. 1: sing "rat-tle on the stove-pipe" in rhythm. Have students clap as they sing.
- Don't prepare students for the accidental in m. 9. Sight-read it and let them make a mistake, if necessary. Then fix the problem.
- Define "D. C. al Fine": Play again from the beginning and stop where you see the word "Fine" (which means "end" in Italian).
- This is, essentially, a three-chord song. The chord in m. 15 can be played either as a 7 chord (as written) or as a regular major chord. Try it both ways: which do your students prefer? Why?
- Strumming: have students try an on-beat strum (strum on beats 1 and 3) and an off-beat strum (strum on beats 2 and 4). Which do they prefer? Why?
Additional Suggestions and Comments:
- Rattle on the Stovepipe essentially modulates to a new key in measures 9-16. This departure makes the main theme sound fresh on the repeat.
- Challenge your advanced students to create a harmony part above the melody.
- Challenge advanced students to create their own variation on the melody of Rattle on the Stovepipe.

Requested Attributes in SP metadata
RequestedAttribute elements allow an SP operator to document the attributes that the SP can use.
For a typical e-journal use case, the eduPersonScopedAffiliation attribute is the only attribute that is required to allow access to protected content. However other SPs might include personalisations (saved searches, tailored content or display settings) which require a persistent and unique identifier for each user such as eduPersonTargetedID. And collaboration sites may request that the IdP releases an email address for each user to allow notifications to be sent.
Requested Attributes are most useful for SPs that interoperate with IdPs which are registered outside the UK federation for two reasons:
 - There is no guarantee that other federations will define the same core attributes as the UK federation, although many other federations do use the eduPerson schema
 - Some federations recommend that their IdPs configure attribute release rules based on input from RequestedAttribute elements
The presence of an attribute in the RequestedAttribute element does not imply that the attributes are required, although that may be the case. It also does not imply that the IdP operator must release the attributes (or automatically does so). It is the IdP operator's responsibility to configure attribute release according to their organization's policy, and RequestedAttribute elements can inform that decision.
For further information on attributes and their usage see section 7 of the Technical Recommendations for Participants.
There is more information about Requested Attributes on the Shibboleth website.
As your SP is operating in a federated system, you should only request attributes which have been standardized, for example in the eduPerson specification or inetOrgPerson specification, and which have OIDs that are widely known.
We recommend that only the OID-forms of attributes are listed in an SP registration, even if your SP supports SAML 1 (which typically would use urn:mace forms of attributes).
 - Ensure your SP is preferentially using SAML 2 over SAML 1. First, ensure that your SP is configured to prefer SAML 2 when in an SP-first flow (for example, from a login link on your SP). Secondly, check whether any accesses to your SP are from SAML 1 IdP-first login flows. Please contact the UK federation helpdesk for further advice and assistance in this area.
 - If your SP is SAML 1-only, you must upgrade it to SAML 2 operation before considering RequestedAttribute elements.
Procedure for adding RequestedAttribute elements
Let us know the SAML attributes your SP requires during registration. If the attributes are in the core set of UK federation attributes, you only need to include the name of the attribute, for example eduPersonScopedAffiliation & eduPersonTargetedID. If the attribute is outside the core set, please provide both the name and OID of the attribute to reduce ambiguity.
If your SP requires one or more attributes to make authorization decisions, please ask us to set the isRequired flag for those attributes. We have also heard that some other federations need the isRequired flag to automatically determine attribute release. Please contact the UK federation helpdesk for further advice and assistance in this area.
RequestedAttributes can also be added at any time after registration.
Example RequestedAttribute elements
This example is for an SP that can use all 4 UK federation core attributes, and which requests an email address.

10 Kingly Things about David Grann's "Killers of the Flower Moon"
by David Grann
Nikki's Rating: 10 out of 10
Summary: Living a life of luxury during the 1920s, the Osage Nation in Oklahoma were the envy of many and this envy took a deadly turn. Members of the Osage tribe began dying under suspicious circumstances and anyone who investigated were murdered as well. With the rising death toll, the newly put together FBI gets involved and exposes a large conspiracy that will haunt the Osage for generations to come.
10 Kingly Things about David Grann's Killers of the Flower Moon
(May Contain Spoilers)
1. Educational
Killers of the Flower Moon was an absolute eye-opener, I've never even heard about the Osage Nation and definitely not about their murders. This novel was a wealth of knowledge about the Osage Indians, the Osage murders, and also the beginnings of the FBI. It is a testament of the atrocities we can do to fellow human beings due to prejudices and believing they are less-than.
2. Osage Indians
David Grann showed the utmost respect when talking about the Osage Tribe and their people throughout Killers of the Flower Moon. Grann gave background and described some practices of the Osage people but he did not attempt to be an expert and he did not make stereotypes. He did not portray them as ignorant savages who need pity nor did he portray them as nature protecting shaman who should be revered.
3. White Power
Ultimately, the Killers of the Flower Moon is a story of how whites took advantage and even killed many members of the Osage Tribe during the 1920s for their money. And they got away with it because of prejudices and discrimination against Native Americans. Many of the whites in the county including judges, policemen, and doctors were complacent, no one cared about the rich Indians and there was an overall attitude that these crimes were okay because they were benefiting white people.
4. Good Whites
On the flip side, David Grann makes sure to show that not all whites in Osage County were involved with the conspiracy. There were some white men who honestly tried to solve the Osage murders and found themselves killed as well. And then there was Comstock, an affluent white citizen of Osage County who openly and willing assisted investigators.
5. New Information
One of the most important things that came out with David Grann's investigation into the Osage Murders was that there were more killings than just what the FBI investigated and pressed charges for. Through Grann's research he found that hundreds of Osage Indians had died at a much higher rate than normal and that all of them had money being overseen by whites. Grann uncovered a conspiracy that went farther than what was once believed and the victims will never have justice.
6. Writing
While incredibly heavy with dates, facts, and overall information, Killers of the Flower Moon does not read like a history textbook. Instead Grann does an exceptional job of uncovering the facts, people, and places in a story-telling way and he keeps his readers engaged with great pacing, beautiful descriptives, and a layer by layer reveal of the conspiracy and its key players.
7. Context
Another exceptional writing skill that Grann displays is that of contexts. Grann makes sure to explain customs or norms that were different during that time period. He also includes background on numerous characters allowing readers to better understand their motives, values, and choices. And Grann also includes reminders of who people are in relation to events. This was incredibly helpful and allowed for easy understanding without having to flip back in the book or to look something up.
8. Now
Even though the events of the Osage murders occurred during the 1920s, Grann visited Osage County and interviewed relatives of those who were directly involved. This is so powerful because of generational trauma and the fact that so many of the murders did not get investigated. Grann looks at the repercussions on a people who have been abused and neglected by the government and justice system that was meant to protect them.
9. Pictures
Throughout Killers of the Flower Moon are pictures. Pictures of people, sometimes places but pictures to help remind you that these are not fictional characters. The tragedies that happened in Osage County during the 1920s were real. Killers of the Flower Moon isn't a fictional mystery novel and the pictures help provide context but also to drive that fact home.
10. References
There was extensive research done for the Killers of the Flower Moon and Grann has both an "Archival and Unpublished Sources" and "Selected Bibliography" included at the end. It is proof that Grann did his work and provides credibility to all information presented in Killers of the Flower Moon. It is hard to realize that this tragic tale is not fiction but rather a true tale of horror that many people lived through.

County Social Service Agencies Reduce Burden on Applicants
Now more than ever, individuals are looking for a way to get benefits faster and more efficiently from their state or county-managed social service agencies.
Technology Investments Help Deliver Benefits Faster to Those in Need
The need for quick access to social safety net programs is clear. The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting millions of people across the country with social isolation, unemployment, food insecurity, homelessness and housing insecurity, stress and mental illness. Now more than ever, individuals are looking for a way to get benefits faster and more efficiently from their state or county-managed social service agencies.
Burden of Proof Falls on Applicants' Shoulders
Unfortunately, the application process can be a huge burden on these individuals and families who may already be suffering from social, economic or health disruptions due to COVID-19. Applications often require a significant amount of time and documentation, as well as access to technology. Many times, they need things like scanners and a Wi-Fi connection to submit an application. Typically, states require the following from applicants:
 - Proof of identity (identification card or driver's license)
 - Proof of citizenship or qualified immigrant status
 - Social Security numbers for everyone requesting assistance
 - Proof of income (pay stubs, child support payments, income award letters, etc.)
 - Proof of expenses (childcare receipts, medical bills, medical transportation costs, child support payments, etc.)
State agencies may use this information to check an applicant's income and eligibility. They may also match the information against other federal, state and local agencies to verify income and eligibility. Additionally, they often track wage information and participation in work activities for ongoing benefit delivery.
Latency of Data can Cause Latency in Benefit Delivery
This can be a lot of information for applicants to gather. Plus, it creates a significant amount of work for state agencies tasked with verifying that information to determine eligibility and to ensure that recipients get all the benefits for which they're entitled.
Confirming that information takes time. Any delay can create an increased financial burden on applicants as they wait for a decision. Our teams at Equifax Government Services have seen agency customers with a wait period of more than 45 days due to manual checks for income verification¹. This, in turn, delays potential benefits to those in need.
Outdated information sources may also cause processing delays. For example, state wage data can be typically anywhere from 30 to 120 days old. The National Directory of New Hires, which gathers state wage data the quarter after it's been reported, is at least four months old. It also includes New Hire Data, which is at least 30 days old when released and only shows hires, rather than length, hours or separation².
Also, if there are significant delays in benefits processing, applicants may become anxious and sometimes re-apply unnecessarily. This means more work to pull the documentation together again and applications submitted twice can potentially lead to even greater delays in decisioning.
Verified Income Data for a Better Applicant Experience
Social Service agencies can help alleviate this burden on the applicant by using a systems-first approach to benefit determination. Integrating and referring first to a database like The Work Number® can help quickly verify employment and income information. Equifax Workforce Solutions also has products available that provide access to real-time incarceration data and financial records. Automated access to current data, as provided by employers 24/7, is critical for faster benefit decisions.
Additionally, the use of external data sources can help minimize the amount of work the applicant has to do to apply for - and prove continued need for - benefits. It is also more secure. With automated data supporting each case, applicants may not need to continue saving and submitting proof of need on paper. More importantly, any reduction in paper pay stubs and other sensitive documentation is a good step towards more privacy and security of applicant data.

In 2009 the Provand's Lordship Garden Project was launched to establish and maintain a herbal garden. The intention was to create a community garden that volunteers are welcomed to. Where they can also help to maintain it, and enjoy it.
The garden also aims to provide opportunities for people and communities to enjoy the health benefits of working in the garden. They also have the opportunity to learn about herbalism, the garden, and history.
Volunteers will be encouraged to hold activities in the garden and in Provand's Lordship. There will also be a lively public programme that will reflect local communities.
The garden is explained through labels and leaflets so visitors can enjoy and understand it.
This work could not have been carried out without generous help and advice from the following:
The Incorporation of Gardeners of Glasgow donated money towards the project.
The Wise Group has provided materials and volunteers.
Glasgow City Council Land and Environmental Services have provided tools and assistance.
The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, and the Wellcome Trust, have provided resources and advice for researching medieval and herbal medicine.

E10 is a concept invented by Prof. Robert Shiller, who uses E10 for his Shiller P/E calculation. When we calculate the todays Shiller P/E ratio of a stock, we use todays price divided by E10.
What is E10? How do we calculate E10?
E10 is the average of the inflation adjusted earnings of a company over the past 10 years. Lets use an example to explain.
If we want to calculate the E10 of Wal-Mart (WMT) for Dec. 31, 2010, we need to have the inflation data and the earnings from 2001 through 2010.
We adjusted the earnings of 2001 earnings data with the total inflation from 2001 through 2010 to the equivalent earnings in 2010. If the total inflation from 2001 to 2010 is 40%, and Wal-Mart earned $1 a share in 2001, then the 2001s equivalent earnings in 2010 is $1.4 a share. If Wal-Mart earns $1 again in 2002, and the total inflation from 2002 through 2010 is 35%, then the equivalent 2002 earnings in 2010 is $1.35. So on and so forth, you get the equivalent earnings of past 10 years. Then you add them together and divided the sum by 10 to get E10.

Nanowhiskers and needle-like precipitates obtained by the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method for the systems of isopropyl alcohol and toluene solutions of C60 and (η2-C60)Pt(PPh3)2 were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Morphology of the C60 precipitates was remarkably changed by the addition of (η2-C60)Pt(PPh3)2 in the C60 toluene solution, and capsular needle-like crystals of C60 were formed. C60 cages were found to be directly contacted along the growth axis of (η2-C60)Pt(PPh3)2 needle-like crystals.

The security of water delivery of the required quality by water supply networks is identified with the concept of reliability. Therefore, a method of reliability evaluation of water distribution of the required quality was developed. The method is based on the probabilistic character of secondary water contamination in the water supply network. Data for the method are taken from monitoring of the water distribution system. The method takes into consideration the number and locations of individual measurement points and the results of the tests of water quality indicators at these points. The sets of measurement points and water quality indicators constitute a matrix research (observation) field in the model. The proposed method was implemented to assess the reliability of a water distribution process with respect to water with the required microbiological quality indicators in a real distribution system.

The Chinook Arch
November 14, 2001
The above photo was taken at evening twilight in Calgary, Alberta by Jeff McIntosh. On the lee (eastern) side of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and the province of Alberta in Canada, chinook winds occasionally bring respite from cold weather. Chinook is an Indian name meaning "snow eater." These warm, westerly winds result from downslope winds - air moving across the Rocky Mountains and down onto the prairies. During those cold, dull gray winter days, Albertans sometimes look toward the mountains for the Chinook Arch, a curved patch of blue sky (as shown above) that indicates that warm winds are approaching. Over this past weekend, a strong chinook was felt in Alberta and Montana. Chinooks typically occur from early November to late March.


When DevOps engineers deploy a stateful application with a persistent volume claim, vSphere with Tanzu creates a persistent volume object and a matching persistent virtual disk. As a vSphere administrator, you can review details of the persistent volume in the vSphere Client. You can also monitor its storage compliance and health status.
Procedure
 1. In the vSphere Client, navigate to the namespace that has persistent volumes.
 1. From the vSphere Client home menu, select Workload Management.
 2. Click the namespace.
 2. Click the Storage tab and click Persistent Volume Claims.
 The vSphere Client lists all persistent volume claim objects and corresponding volumes available in the namespace.
 3. To view details of a selected persistent volume claim, click the name of the volume in the Persistent Volume Name column.
 4. On the Container Volumes page, check the volume's health status and storage policy compliance.
 1. Click the Details icon, and switch between the Basics and Kubernetes objects tabs to view additional information for the Kubernetes persistent volume.
 To monitor volume health status using the kubectl command, see Monitor Volume Health in a vSphere Namespace or Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster.
 Basic tab displays such details as the pod, datastore, and storage policy related to the PVC
 2. Verify the health status of the volume.
 Health Status Description
 Accessible The persistent volume is accessible and available for use.
 Inaccessible The persistent volume is inaccessible and cannot be used. The persistent volume becomes inaccessible if the datastore that stores the volume cannot be reached by the hosts that connect to the datastore.
 3. Verify the storage compliance status.
 You can see one of the following in the Compliance Status column.
 Compliance Status Description
 Compliant The datastore where the virtual disk backing the volume resides has the storage capabilities that the policy requires.
 Out of Date This status indicates that the policy has been edited, but the new storage requirements have not been communicated to the datastore. To communicate the changes, reapply the policy to the volume that is out of date.
 Noncompliant The datastore supports specified storage requirements, but cannot currently satisfy the storage policy. For example, the status might become Noncompliant when physical resources of the datastore are unavailable. You can bring the datastore into compliance by making changes in the physical configuration of your host cluster, for example by adding hosts or disks to the cluster. If additional resources satisfy the storage policy, the status changes to Compliant.
 Not Applicable The storage policy references datastore capabilities that are not supported by the datastore.
 4. If the compliance status is Out of Date, select the volume and click Reapply Policy.
 PVC appears as Out of Date
 The status changes to Compliant.

Year 5: Ming vases
In Year 5, we have been looking at Chinese blue and white porcelain and have created paintings of Ming vases using a sgraffito technique.
We looked at traditional shapes of vases from the 14th Century onward and decided on a shape for our own vase. The children drew a vertical line to help keep their shape symmetrical. They then used oil pastel to colour in their design:
They painted over their design with white paint and while it was still wet, began to make intricate patterns with the other end of a small paintbrush.
Here are some finished examples:


BMPA hits back at union description of conditions in meat plants
03 July 2020
The BMPA is criticising claims made by Unite the Union about working conditions in the UK's meat processing plants. The BMPA believes that Unite the Union's depictions are misleading and are muddying the waters in the fight to understand and combat the coronavirus crisis.
The British Meat Processors Association (BMPA) has strongly rejected the claims and their Chief Executive Nick Allen commented that "Meat processing is a skillful but physically demanding job and, contrary to Unite's claims, conditions at BMPA members' plants are far from 'dire'."
Mr Allen went on to describe the tightly regulated working conditions in plants: "Our member companies work to strict hygiene and safety controls imposed by the Food Standards Authority, Public Health England and the Health and Safety Executive. While working temperatures are necessarily cold in parts of the factory, workers are given the protective clothing and equipment they need to keep them and the food they produce safe.
Coronavirus safety measures
Since March BMPA's members have spent millions of pounds following Government guidance on how to make working conditions as safe as possible to allow food production to continue. Measures such as Perspex screens, staggered shifts, one-way systems, temperature testing and extra PPE have become standard.
What more can be done?
Beyond implementing exiting guidelines, BMPA has been working closely with Government to set up a special food industry task force that will allow industry to collaborate with local authorities, standards agencies, health officials and Government to tackle a broad range of issues including covid-19, labour shortages and supply chain resilience. The group will also work on ways to mitigate ongoing risk and keep production operating smoothly and safely.
Ultimately the food security of the UK depends on it.

Obese Primates
February 22, 2011
from The New York Times
Update: The following post is very rant-like, my apologies. The research on monkeys upsets me. Do we have to do this to these creatures who can't make choices to prove that not getting outside and moving one's body and eating poorly can be deleterious to health? I'm glad we have medical interventions that can help. I also wish that we all could observe a better social ethic around living healthily. Seeing monkeys and humans lose the graciousness of their being in this way makes me ache. There is no other way to say it.
* * *
This article in the NYTimes described obesity research being conducted on primates. Why does reading about primates confined to cages, eating bad foods as they gain pound after pound, tear me apart more than my knowledge of all the people who live this way? So many people get out of bed, trudge to work, eat donuts/muffins/bagel with coffee on the go, sit or stand all day enclosed in a small space, snack to forestall boredom and fatigue, eat unhealthy take-out lunch, then sit, stand and snack some more until its time to go home and watch TV (and snack). Are we any different than those poor research primates, save the fact that no one is studying us? (more…)

Evolution in the office: How evolutionary psychology can increase employee health, happiness, and productivity
Evolutionary Psychology 10(5): 770-781 Carey J. Fitzgerald, Department of Psychology, Oakland University, Rochester, MI, USA, _EMAIL_ M. Danner, Department of Psychology, Oakland University, Rochester, MI, USA
We review the empirical literature that has implemented aspects of our ancestral environment into the workplace and discuss the positive influence these factors have had on employees' physical and psychological health. We focus upon several components of our ancestral environment, including sunlight, greenery, sleep, physical movement, and social interaction with fellow humans as well as animals (specifically, dogs). Employers who are willing to adopt an evolutionary psychological approach to organizing their workplaces may drastically improve their workers' overall physical and psychological health as well as their overall productivity. This will, in turn, decrease employer costs related to medical care, absenteeism, and lack of productivity. Suggestions regarding how to implement these evolutionary psychological methods to the workplace are also discussed.

CodeVita Season IV Round 1 : Drunkard's Walk
Problem : Drunkard's Walk
In state of inebriation, a drunkard sets out to walk home, afoot. As is common knowledge, a drunkard struggles to find balance and ends up taking random steps. Not surprisingly these are steps in both forward as well as backward direction. Funnily enough, these are also repeated movements. Now, it so happens that on this drunkard's path, there are two banana skins - one in forward direction and one in backward direction. There is a real danger that the drunkard's downfall may be accelerated if he accidentally slips over either of those banana skins.
Your task is to find out if he will slip over the banana skin on forward path or banana skin on backward path and in how much time. It is also possible that by his good fortune he might not step over either banana skins. Write a program to calculate the outcome.
Input Format:
First line contains total number of test cases, denoted by N
Next N lines, contain a tuple containing 6 values delimited by space
D FM BM T FBS BBS, where
 1. D denotes direction, either F (Forward) or B (Backward)
 2. FM denotes the magnitude of forward movement in meters
 3. BM denotes the magnitude of backward movement in meters
 4. T denotes time taken to cover 1 meter
 5. FBS denotes distance from Drunkards' starting position and the banana skin in forward direction
 6. BBS denotes distance from Drunkards' starting position and the banana skin in backward direction
Output Format:
For each test case, print time taken by the Drunkard to slip over the forward or backward banana skin. Print F if he slips over forward banana skin and B if he slips over the backward banana skin. Both the outputs must be delimited by whitespace
Print "Hurray" if the Drunkard is lucky to not slip over either banana skin
1 <= N <= 100
forward movement (FM) > 0
backward movement (BM) > 0
time (T) > 0
Distance to banana skin in forward direction (FBS) > 0
Distance to banana skin in backward direction (BBS) > 0
All input values must be integer only

The Aberfoyle Park Primary School Campus is located in the Adelaide hills 18 kilometres south of the city. The concept of the Campus with State School (Thiele), Catholic Education Office (Nativity) and the Uniting Church System (Pilgrim) sharing facilities was new to South Australia and probably Australia when it was first developed.
After years of preliminary planning the joint project came to fruition at the beginning of the 1982 school year when the schools admitted their first students. The Shared facilities include an activity hall, resource centre, gymnasium and Campus staff room. Shared programs include Physical Education, Music, and Resource Based Learning. In 2001 the Aberfoyle Park Campus Preschool was opened by the Minister of Education and Children's Services. This relocated facility has a capacity of 45 children per session and is located in the grounds of the Campus. There is a strong vision and spirit of cooperation and collaboration between the four schools. Having the three schools on one site provides the following educational advantages:
- A degreeof choice for parents when deciding what kind of school they want their children to attend.
- Resources available for all three schools that could not be financed by three separate schools.
- Sharing staff expertise between the three schools
- Promoting tolerance and cooperation between the school community of children, parents and staff
The shared schools resources of the Campus community includes:
- the Central Administration
- an excellent gymnasium
- a large staff and community meeting room
- central resource area
- activity hall and canteen
- two ovals
- hard play areas
- a large central courtyard
Parents sharing on the Campus is at many levels
The parents cooperate and work together in these areas:
- Campus Conference
- Sports Teams
- Resource Centre
Parents are encouraged to be involved in decision making in the individual schools and to work with the teachers in the classroom situation. The children are encouraged to develop a sense of belonging to the Campus.
This is achieved by:
|• Wearing the same uniform
(Varied in the State Schools)
- Playing together in the playground
- Participating in Campus sports Teams
- Sharing organised activities such as Book Week,
an Arts Festival and a Science Exposition.
- Across Campus Educational Programs:
- Language other than English (LOTE)
There are many activities of an informal nature across schools:
- Going on excursions together
- School camps
- Classes working together on a shared project
