Okay, so maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm going to go ahead and throw it out there simply because I'm curious.
What exactly is the difference between say IUPUI and Harvard (Don't point out the obvious, I'm well aware of the primary differences). My question is in regards to the education.
I go to IUPUI and have always wondered, what exactly is the educational difference? Take for example the following.
If I was taking a math class at IUPUI, and had the following equation.
2x = 6. Solve for x.
At IUPUI, the answer would be 3.
At Harvard, the answer would also be 3.
If students are taking classes that teach the same material, why pay thousands of dollars more for Harvard than for IUPUI, Ball State, IU, Purdue or anywhere else? Are students simply paying for prestige? Granted, Harvard and schools like it are known for law and other specialties, but in regards to basic type courses, why pay much more for the same material?
I know that isn't college level math, but that's just a simple example. Math does not change, ever, regardless of school/professor. So what is the difference exactly between Harvard, Princeton, Yale/others and your "normal" university/college?
Any input is appreciated. I've always just been curious about this for some time.

Fire, water, air and earth are at the heart of Crazy Machines Elements. Not only are these element experiments appearing in this amateur inventor game for the first time, but this title is also making its debut on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
Players can also use lots of new parts besides the elements, including cloud machines, pinwheels and flamethrowers.
Crazy Machines Elements has three game modes. In Puzzle mode, players must finish 100 partially-built chain reaction machines using the parts specified to accomplish the various tasks. Inventors can create true chain reaction marvels that obey the laws of physics and not only satisfy the requirements of the task, but also demand some serious brain power, inventiveness and physical out-of-the-box thinking.
An example of the fun: A ball knocks a candle over which then heats the water in a steam boiler, which in turn slowly starts moving a rope attached to it. The action of the rope rotates a grindstone tied to the other end, which rubs against another stone to generate a spark which lights the fireworks. Players can tinker with a variety of other crazy machines awaiting them in each chapter.
Budding inventors can unlock numerous challenges by solving puzzles where they complete tasks using the fewest number of parts in the shortest time; there are as many ways to achieve a particular task as there are parts available. Crazy Machines also has an editor in which players can build and try out their own crazy machines!

It can also be used to refill Hydrogen Bottles by placing it into the tank's inventory and clicking on Refill Bottles, assuming that auto-refill isn't checked.
The hydrogen can be produced from Ice much the same as Oxygen inside H2/O2 Generators. The hydrogen tank must be directly connected via Conveyor blocks in order to receive hydrogen from the generator, and also to send the fuel to the hydrogen thrusters.
The colored indicators on the tank show at a glance the current hydrogen level inside the tank.
Hydrogen TankThe large version of the hydrogen tank holds a massive 15,000,000 L
Small Hydrogen TankThe small version of the hydrogen tank holds a smaller total of gas (1,000,000 L
- Using a Connector block, you can vent the hydrogen out of the tanks by switching it to Throw Out mode much the same way you can with oxygen tanks.
Interface name: IMyGasTank
- Unlike cargo containers the actual cargo of the hydrogen tank does not in any way influence its mass. Therefore the large block tank will ALWAYS have a mass of 8,161.6 kg8,161,600 gtons whether it's completely full of hydrogen or not.

This tutorial will present how to use DB Store and DB Filter components in Wires using the OPC-UA simulated server already used in OPC-UA Application.
The DB Store component allows the wire graphs to interact with the database provided by ESF. It stores in a user-defined table all the envelopes received by the component. The component can be configured as follows:
- table.name: the name of the table to be created.
- maximum.table.size: the size of the table.
- cleanup.records.keep: the number of records in the table to keep while performing a cleanup operation.
The DB Filter component, instead, can run a custom SQL query on the ESF database. It can be configured as follows:
- sql.view: SQL to be executed to build a view.
- cache.expiration.interval: cache validity in seconds. When the cache expires, a new read in the database will be performed.
The following procedure will create a wire graph that collects data from a simulated OPC-UA Server, stores it in a table in the database, using the DB Store component, and publishes it in the cloud platform. Moreover, the DB Filter is used to read from the database and write data to the OPC-UA Server based on the values read.
- Download the OPC-UA server simulator bundle and install it on your ESF instance. It will create a simulated OPC-UA server that exposes some sensors (light, temperature and water sensor) and some actuators (buzzer, led and fan).
- In the ESF Administrative Web Interface, select "OPCUA Server demo" in "Services" and set server.port to 1234. Click the Apply button. This will start an OPC-UA server on port 1234.
- Install the OPC-UA Driver from Eclipse Kura Marketplace
- Use the local ESF Administrative Web Interface to create a new OPC-UA driver instance:
- Select Drivers and Assets, click the New Driver button
- Select org.eclipse.kura.driver.opcua, type in a name, and click Apply: a new service will show up under Services.
- Configure the new service as follows:
- endpoint.ip: localhost
- endpoint.port: 1234
- server.name: leave blank
- Click on Wires under System
- Add a new Timer component and configure the interval at which the OPC-UA server will be sampled
- Add a new Asset with the previously added OPC-UA Driver
- Configure the new OPC-UA asset, adding new Channels as shown in the following image. Make sure that all the channels are set to READ.
- Add a new DBStore component and configure it as follows:
- table.name: WR_data
- maximum.table.size: 10000
- cleanup.records.keep: 0
- Add a new Publisher component and configure the chosen cloud platform stack in cloud.service.pid option
- Add Logger component
- Add another instance of Timer
- Add a new DBFilter component and configure it as follows. The query will get the values from the light sensor and if they are less than 200, the fan is activated.
- sql.view: SELECT (CASE WHEN "light" < 200 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS "led" FROM "WR_data" ORDER BY TIMESTAMP DESC LIMIT 1;
- cache.expiration.interval: 0
- Add another Asset with the OPC-UA Driver, configured as shown in the following image. Be sure that all the channels are set to WRITE.
- Connect the components as shown in the following image, then click on "Apply" and check the logs and the cloud platform that the data is correctly published.

Changing the Background Color of Block Diagrams
Updated Jun 20, 2018
Reported In
Software
 - LabVIEW
Issue Details
I want to change the background color of the block diagram of my current VI or all future VIs I create, for aesthetic or usability purposes. How do I accomplish this?
Solution
There are two approaches to this problem. You can change the default background color for all future VIs made with a particular LabVIEW development environment, and you can edit the background color of an existing block diagram.
Changing the Default Background Color for Block Diagrams of Future VIs:
The setting for block diagram background color is located in the LabVIEW Options.
 1. In LabVIEW, navigate to Tools»Options..., and under Category, choose Environment.
 2. Scroll down to the section titled Colors. Uncheck the box labeled Use default colors.
 3. Now you can choose the colors that new VIs use. To change the background color for the block diagram, click on the colored box labeled Block Diagram, and choose the desired color.
Note that this does not affect VIs that you have already created. These options under the Environment category are shown here:
Editing the color in the LabVIEW Options adds the diagram. background token to the LabVIEW INI file (located in the same folder as LabVIEW.exe). The value for the token is 00 followed by the hex triplet color code representing the chosen color. For a white background, the token appears as follows:
diagram. background=00FFFFFF
Changing the Background Color for Block Diagrams of Existing VIs:
There are two ways to change the block diagram of Existing VIs. You can accomplish this manually or programmatically.
To accomplish this manually for a single VI, open the Tools Palette and choose the Coloring tool. Then, right-click on the block diagram background and you will be able to choose the background color. For more information about this solution, see Coloring Objects and Backgrounds. The following shows what the Coloring tool looks like:
To accomplish this programmatically, there is a block diagram property that can be edited to change the background color of an existing VI. You can potentially use this approach to change the background color for multiple block diagrams quickly.
 1. Enable VI Scripting in LabVIEW. To do this, navigate to Tools»Options..., and under Category, choose VI Server. Check the box labeled Show VI Scripting functions, properties and methods. Choose OK to save the change.
 2. In your LabVIEW code, obtain a reference to the VI you want to edit. If you want to edit the VI you are writing the code in, you can use the default value for the VI Server Reference located in the Functions palette under Programming»Application Control.
 3. Link a property node to the VI reference, and choose the property Block Diagram. This outputs a reference to the block diagram itself.
 4. Link a property node to the block diagram reference, and choose the property Color. If the property is currently readable, right-click the property and select Change to Write.
 5. Obtain a Color Box Constant from the Functions palette by navigating to Programming»Dialog & User Interface. Wire the Color Box Constant to the Color property. The input for the Color property is a numeric integer representing a color, and the Color Box Constant makes it easier to choose the color that represents a given numeric integer.
 6. Click on the Color Box Constant and choose the desired color.
 7. Run the VI that this code is in, and the block diagram background color for the VI you reference will change.

Runtime Optimization for the Automatic Monte Carlo Dose Computation System MC2
U Titt
U Titt*, A Liu, D Mirkovic, U.T M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX
SU-E-T-523 Sunday 3:00PM - 6:00PM Room: Exhibit Hall
Purpose:Optimizing runtime of a user friendly automated Monte Carlo dose computation system for proton treatments using passively scattered and intensity modulated proton therapy plans.
Methods:The MC2 code is a dose computation system based on the Monte Carlo system MCNPX, which is routinely used at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Besides the successful implementation and use of the code, the efficiency can be optimized to minimize runtime on a cluster of LINUX servers. Based on the 3-dimensional statistical uncertainty values scored during the simulation of several test proton beams in water, we have developed an optimization procedure for the minimal number of source particles required to achieve desired statistical uncertainty inside the target volume for arbitrary patient fields.
Results:First Monte Carlo dose calculations of proton doses in patients were provided in the timeframe of one to several days. Optimization of the initial number of source particles for each proton energy (in IMPT) or range modulator wheel rotation (in PSPT) resulted in significant decrease in computation time.
Conclusion:Current efforts focus on optimization of runtime for patient specific proton plans. Among many aspects, which include variance reduction techniques, such as using increased cell importance inside the CT volume, weight window applications and others, the focus of this effort was the minimization of the number of histories to achieve acceptable statistical uncertainties.

Lake Chabot is a reservoir, but geologists still agree with laypeople that it qualifies as a lake.
That said, reservoirs differ from most lakes. They have steep banks and deep middles. This gives them a greater variety of habitats. They have jagged planforms on the map because they intrude up every little tributary valley instead of developing a nice rounded shape. And, of course, they're temporary by any geological measure.
Around here, most lakes form as a result of tectonic activity or landslides. Lake Temescal started out as a sag pond on the Hayward fault. Clear Lake, farther north, formed when a landslide dammed a fork of the Russian River. It rose until it spilled eastward down Cache Creek, which has captured the watershed. Lake Chabot is about 50 feet short of that level; if Anthony Chabot had built his dam higher, the lake would now spill south into Castro Valley.
The valley of San Leandro Creek is so steep and its walls so high that I can easily picture it collapsing regularly, especially during big earthquakes, to have made ancient Lake Chabots in the past. So today's lake isn't so unusual for the region.

Parent Child Relationships With DIVs
From: Maurice Reeves
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 13:40:00 -0400
Message-ID:
To: "DOM-Mail (E-mail)"
Cc: Andy Mansur , Dennis Shirk
I am seeking guidance on what seems like it's a browser bug, but is
displayed across many browsers:
I have created a dropdown menu using a DIV that contains a UL, which has
several LI contained within. The DIV display is set to 'none' until someone
MouseOvers an image. On the MouseOver I set the DIV's display to 'block'.
However, if set the DIV's display back to 'none' on the DIV's MouseOut
event, the minute it encounters the UL, it fires the MouseOut and the DIV
If I set the MouseOver of the UL to set the DIV's display to 'block', and
then MouseOver the LI, the DIV stays shown until I leave the UL.
Now it seems that even though the DIV is parent to the UL element, no
connection is maintained across events between them.
But with parent-child relationship between a UL and an LI, it maintains the
parent-child relationship across events.
My question is this:
Are both of these behaviors correct? Should the Parent-Child relationship
be maintained across all of the DIV's children between events, so that if
you are mousing over the UL (or any other HTML element. This behavior is
exhibited with A tags or TABLE, etc. UL just happened to be what I used)
which is a child of the DIV, it counts also as a MouseOver of the DIV? Or
should the currently maintained relationship between the UL and it's
children LI be severed?
Thanks in advance,
Maurice Reeves

10||9.21 or more||20||17|
The goodness-of-fit test gives:
= 7.7 for 9 d.f., P = 0.55.
The combined frequencies of poker hands in the whole table are shown in Table 3. The largest difference between expected and observed frequencies (for threes) is about 2.25 times its standard deviation, which is roughly at about the 9 or 10 per cent probability level (looking merely at the largest of five independent normal observations).
Poker Test on The Million Digits (200,000 Poker Hands)
|Two pairs (aabbc)||21,600||21,572|
|Full house (aaabb)||1,800||1,788|
The goodness-of-fit test gives:
= 5.5 for 5 d.f., P = 0.35.
Also, the frequencies of poker hands were computed for each of ten blocks of 100,000 digits and the mean and standard deviation was computed from the ten values for each kind of hand. The results are shown in Table 4.
Mean and Standard Deviation of Frequencies in Seven Classes of Poker Hands
|Classes||Theoretical Mean||Actual Mean||Theoretical Std. Dev.||Actual Std. Dev.|
Serial and Run Tests. Some further tests were made on the first block of 50,000 digits to look particularly for any evidence of serial association among the digits. The serial test classified every successive pair of digits by each digit of the pair in a ten-by-ten table. The frequencies of the different pairs are given in Table 5, where the first digit of the pair is shown in the left column of the table and the second digit is shown at the top. Thus there were 5l0 cases in which a zero followed a one. The frequency for the row (or column) totals is 7.56, which is about the 0.60 probability level for 9 d.f.
Frequencies of Ordered Pairs of Digits
|First Digit||Second Digit/||0||1||2||3||4||5||6||7||8||9||Total|
Several essentially equivalent values were computed from Table 5. First, assuming all pairs equally likely (expected value of 500 for each cell), a of 107.8 was computed, which for 90 d.f. (because row totals equal column totals) is about the 0.10 probability level. Second, given the row frequencies and assuming digits equally likely to follow (expected value of 492.3 for cells of the first row, for example), a of 98.9 was computed which is about the 0.25 level for 90 d.f. Third, the expected cell sizes were computed as 1 /10 the column totals to give a value of 100.4, which is about the 0.20 level. Fourth, fitting all means to both row and column totals gave a of 91.9 with 81 d.f, which is at about the 0.19 probability level.
Finally, in the same block of 50,000 digits all runs were counted with the obviously satisfactory results shown in Table 6.
|Length of Run||Expected Frequency||Observed Frequency|
|r = 1||40500||40410|
|r = 2||4050||4055|
|r = 3||405||421|
|r = 4||40.5||48|
|r = 5||4.5||5|
Half of the random digit table was used to produce 100,000 standard normal deviates by solving for x in the equation
where D is a five-digit number from the table and
is the cumulative standard normal distribution. The Bureau of Standards tables of F(x) were used (Ref. 11).
The deviates were determined by the five-digit numbers on the left-hand half of every page of the digit table. The deviates in the first column correspond page by page with the five-figure digits in the first column of the first 200 pages of the digit table; the deviates in the second column correspond page by page with the first column of the second 200 pages of the digit table. Similarly, the third and fourth columns of deviates were derived from the second column of five-figure digits, etc.
A test of the fit of the entire table of deviates to the normal distribution was performed using 400 class intervals (Ref. 10) with roughly 250 expected in each. The value was found to be 346.4, which for 399 d.f. indicates a very close fit; the probability of a larger value of is about 0.97. The detailed data for this test are given in Table 7.
A more refined test of the fit in the tails was made on the deviates exceeding 2.326 in absolute value. Eighty intervals (Ref. 10) were used, each with an expectation of approximately 25. The value was 76.26, with 80 d.f.; the probability of a larger value is about 0.61. The details of this test are given in Table 8.
The only tests made on the squares of the deviates consisted in computing sums of k squares and comparing the distribution of the sums with the distribution with k d.f., employing again the standard goodness-of-fit test. This was done for k = 25, 50, 100, 300, with the following results:
|k||Number of Sums||Number of Intervals (i)||with i – 1 Degrees of Freedom||Probability of a Larger|
The fourth column gives the goodness-of-fit value for the fit to the distribution with k degrees of freedom. Intervals of approximately equal probability were used in all cases.
Use of the Tables
The lines of the digit table are numbered from 00000 to 19999. In any use of the table, one should first find a random starting position. A common procedure for doing this is to open the book to an unselected page of the digit table and blindly choose a five-digit number; this number with the first digit reduced modulo 2 determines the starting line; the two digits to the right of the initially selected fivedigit number are reduced modulo 50 to determine the starting column in the starting line. To guard against the tendency of books to open repeatedly at the same page and the natural tendency of a person to choose a number toward the center of the page: every five-digit number used to determine a starting position should be marked and not used a second time for this purpose.
The digit table is also used to find a random starting position in the deviate table: Select a five-digit number as before; the first four digits give the starting line (the lines being numbered from 0000 to 9999) and the fifth digit gives the starting position in the line.
Ordinarily, the table is read in the same direction as a book is read; however, the size of the table may be effectively increased by varying the direction in which it is read. Thus, one may read columns instead of lines, may read the table backward, may read lines forward but pages from bottom to top, etc. Of course, care must be taken in using these devices to avoid introducing correlations when the table is used more than once on the same problem.
To obtain a random permutation of the integers 1, 2,..., n, select a random starting position; use the five-digit number containing the starting position and the following n - 1 five-digit numbers; put the integers in the same order as these n five-digit numbers. In case of ties among the five-digit numbers, use additional columns to the right to make six or more digit numbers. The same procedure is used to obtain a random permutation of n objects, some of which are indistinguishable, by merely numbering the objects arbitrarily from 1 to n.
To obtain random observations from any distribution G(x), use Eq. (1), substitute G(x) for F(x), and employ as many digits in D as required for the desired accuracy of the observations. Of course the negative exponent of 10 in Eq. (1) must be equal to the number of digits in D. If G(x) has a discontinuity at x0, define it to be continuous on the right and take the solution of Eq. (1) to be x0 when the left side of Eq. (1) falls between G(x0-) and G(x0). For example, if
G(x) = 1 – e-x,
and one is content with three-figure accuracy, then the three-digit number 082 determines an observation from a population distributed by G(x) as follows:
.0825 = 1 – e-x,
x =.086.
A technique suggested by von Neumann, called the "rejection method," enables one to substitute for the solution of Eq. (1) a stochastic process involving a much simpler computation; this technique will be discussed in a forthcoming book by Kahn (Ref. 8).
To obtain pairs of normal deviates with given correlation, use pairs (x, y) of independent deviates from the table and transform them to
Thus for = -.6, for example, if (.732, -1.205) are two deviates from the table, then
is a pair of deviates from a normal population with the desired correlation.
In general, to obtain a random observation from a bivariate population with distribution G(x,y), one uses a marginal distribution on one variate, say, G1(x), and the conditional distribution, say, G2(y/x), on the other. Two random numbers determine the observation: one determines x by employing G1

The Department of Water and Sanitation has urged all communities along the Vaal Dam and Orange River to consider evacuating and move to high lying areas as water levels rise.
This as 12 flood gates were opened at the Vaal Dam, and outflow at the Bloemhof Dam has been increased to 3000 cubic metres per second.
"All residents of settlements (and in towns) along the banks of the Lower Vaal and Lower Orange Rivers should consider evacuating or moving to higher places that are at least above the 1 in 20- year flood line (a level at which people would likely be safer to be reached by water emanating from the releases).
"These communities should refer to municipal development plans, Local Authorities and Disaster Management Agencies for locations of these flood lines. The water release increases are necessitated by the continuous and intense rainfall that is causing rivers to overflow and dams to spill," said the department in a statement.
The department appealed to all communities along the Vaal and Orange Rivers, especially those along the banks of lower Vaal and Lower Orange Rivers to remain vigilant of possible flooding and to consider evacuating and moving to high lying areas as water levels rise.
The department also urged farmers to remove livestock, movable properties and equipment out and away from the riverbanks. It further urged the general community to avoid any activity that may put their lives in harm.
"The Vaal and Orange River System is experiencing rapid rising water levels due to the heavy rains and the department continues to assess and implement measures to mitigate effects of these floods on its infrastructure and guarantee full capacity on its storage reservoirs after the rainfall season."
To acquire reliable information about prevailing flooding status, the department said it has put in place flood monitoring and forecasting systems that provides real-time data on rainfall, river and dam levels.
"These data are analysed continuously to enable the department to determine the appropriate releases from each dam".
Since rainfall and floods are a natural phenomenon and therefore control of the events may be limited, the department advises against putting essential services and human settlements within parts of the floodplains where there is likelihood of frequent flooding that is within a 1 in 100-year flood line.

For certain configurations of undercut ground, overhangs or rock instabilities, it can prove necessary or interest to create an absolute foot stop via filling in a reinforced concrete support In this case, creating reinforced concrete buttresses / 'buttons' is a solution to the problem. The foot stop can be scaled in a way which takes into account the total support it needs to provide or it can be scaled to act along with the support of nailing higher up.
To create a good base for future works, the construction needs to confirm the ground's bearing capacity and, where necessary, the works. This can be created by micropiles at the bedrock of the future stop.
Equally, it needs to be taken into account that the buttress / button will be constructed according to a chosen final geometry, realized by the use of a 'tailormade' casing. It is therefore indispensable to use during the construction horizontal nails / tie-rods. These have the double function of firstly allow the casing to be kept in place during pouring and secondly, offering a decisive way to keep good connections between the buttress / ground afterwards. (This means avoiding the effects of vertical surges transferred horizontally).
Significant numbers of buttresses can be constructed. However, it is crucial to maintain pouring heights over successive cuts, in line with the resistance of the casing used.
Different exterior claddings allow for the use of different amounts of concrete at different locations and in different contexts.
There are also options to:
- Leave the formwork rough
- Use plastering mortar / lime plaster
- Paint to the desired color
- Integrate facing with 'real' dressed stone
- Integrate facing via reconstituted facing stone
- Integrate facing stone via a metal trellis soldered with gabions


"If our Poop Protest is considered uncivil, then tell me what is Civil in this country"
Meet Abhay Xaxa, the activist who helped organize the Poop Protest against Land Bill.
With the BJP-led government at Centre relentlessly trying to legislate anti-people laws like Land Acquisition Bill, both civil society and political groups are up in arms. Recently, massive protests were organized across the country. However, the most courageous and political form of protest has been initiated by members of tribal community and activists from Latehar district of Jharkhand. adivasis-defecate
On 18th of March, a number of Adivasis from Latehar lined and crapped on the copies of the proposed bill. Using the bill as a toilet paper in public, the members of the community and activists demanded from the government an immediate withdrawal of the Bill. Or else Adivasis will continue with the shit protest across the country.
IndiaResists.com spoke to Abhay Xaxa, an activist-researcher who helped organizing and popularizing it.
Abhay is an Oraon Adivasi hailing from the tribal-dominated Jashpur District of northern Chhattisgarh. He started working on Adivasi issues as a youth leader during his college days in Jabalpur with a group called Adivasi Yuva Chetna Manch and has worked with some of the very committed grassroots movements such as Bharat Jan Andolan, Ekta Parishad, Nadi Ghati Morcha and Dalit Dasta Virodhi Andolan.
Currently, he is a research scholar at Jawahar Lal Nehru University (JNU), researching and working on Adivasi Marginalities and Tribal Sub Plan. He is also the National Convener of a nationwide campaign group, "National Campaign on Adivasi Rights".
Abhay Xaxa during a protest in Delhi
Abhay Xaxa during a protest in Delhi
Following is a short conversation with Abhay Xaxa.
How did the idea of this form of protest strike you? Who decided it, when and why?
We are doing social monitoring of various tribal development programmes operating under the Tribal Sub Plan to highlight the serious gaps in planning and implementation of various schemes, especially in 5th Schedule areas. Currently there is lot of anxiety and anger among the Adivasi communities against the recently introduced Land Acquisition Bill which was discussed during one of our community meetings in Latehaar district. During the meeting, few young Adivasi leaders suggested that since Government pays no attention when we take out peaceful rallies (just the previous day, around 30,000 Adivasis rallied against the draconian bill in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh), but nobody paid attention) and giving memoranda has become a futile exercise. So the youth in the meeting suggested we do the 'poop protest' in public place to communicate our anger against the land grab carried out in Adivasi area.
Some would say, this was an 'uncivil way of protest'. What is your response to them?
If our poop protest is considered uncivil, then tell me what is civil in this country. Displacing millions of Adivasis for satisfying corporate greed is civil? Killing thousands of unarmed Adivasis in name of counter insurgency is civil? Trafficking lakhs of innocent Adivasi girls to cities and raping them is civil? Blatantly cheating the Adivasis from the constitutional promises is civil? Adivasis have long suffered from the incivility of the Indian state as well as profit mongering goon-politician nexus of this country. Contrary to what is usually is portrayed, Adivasis are the most civil and peace loving citizens of the country. These values are their strength, but have been continuously victimized by the blood thirsty policies of the government. What type of civility do you expect from a person who was uprooted from their land not once but twice in name of national interest and is now threatened the third time?
In my view, if freedom fighters would have bothered to behave 'civil' during Indian freedom struggle, we would have still been a British colony. Poop protest is the most peaceful and democratic protest against a black law which threatens the core of their lifeJal, Jangal aur Jameen, that is! Poop protest is not a new form of agitation, In fact throughout history, whenever oppressed masses have dropped their shit as arsenal, rulers have been shaken because it often marks the beginning of a social uprising.
But have you tried 'civil' manners of the protest first, right?
Yes, we have been trying peaceful demonstration for a long. Rallies, dharnas, hunger strike, submitting memoranda, meeting MP's, delegations. Nothing has worked. In fact, on 12th of this month we were detained by police in Delhi while doing peaceful protest. (See a detailed report here). It seems the Indian state is totally bent towards eliminating the Adivasis from the face of the earth.
We hear you are working in a feature film. Can you tell us something about it?
The film Sonchand is the first Adivasi community film project based on crowd funding and community resources which is going to challenge the Eklayva mythology relating to Adivasis. You can know more about the film here.
What next? Are you planning to do something similar in other parts of the country?
We have got immense support for the poop protest from the Adivasi regions and many have invited to collectively do poop protest in their areas. But we are right now following the developments in the Parliament on the issue and will likewise decide on future course of action. With the poop protest in Latehar, we have begun a fight and we have promised ourselves not to leave it unfinished.

IMEC Mini‐Pal ‐‐ Minipal is the Palletizing System offered by Process Integration to all of those companies that need to enclose the end of line activities within a limited area.
The machine is formed of a Cartesian centerpiece system made up of three linear axis and a circular axis for product rotation. This structure has the advantage to have considerably smaller overall dimension than the traditional Cartesian portal palletizers. and allows for substantial performance improvements. Lifting can be done by either grippers or suction cups, depending on the product to be palletized.
Minipal can be employed with more pallets and different feeding lines simultaneously, so it can be used for multiple stacking applications.
The standard system is made up of a single feeding conveyor, while the empty pallet's positioning and removal of the filled one is made by an operator. It is possible to increase the machine productivity by providing a completely automatic pallet feeding and removal system that includes a pallet magazine for about 10 units thus reducing load and discharge times.Download PDF and Watch Video

In next fields, kindly type your value in the text box under title [ From: ] to convert from atomic mass unit to metric tonne (amu to ton). As you type your value, the answer will be automatically calculated and displayed in the text box under title [ To: ].
Metric Tonne (abbreviations: metric ton, or metric tons, or ton, or tons): is a SI metric unit of mass, also known as tonne. Although, it is used principally as a unit of mass, it has acquired a number of meanings and uses over long years. It is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms (Kg), or one megagram (Mg), or approximately 2,204.6 pounds (lb), or 1.10 short tons (US), or 0.984 long tons (imperial).
How to Convert Atomic Mass Units to Metric Tonnes
Example: How many metric tonnes are equivalent to 31.54 atomic mass units?
1 atomic mass units = 1.66E-30 metric tonnes
31.54 atomic mass units = Y metric tonnes
Y equals 31.54 times 1.66E-30 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 31.54 * 1.66E-30 / 1 = 5.23564E-29 metric tonnes
Answer is: 5.23564E-29 metric tonnes are equivalent to 31.54 atomic mass units.
Practice Question: Convert the following units into ton:

Is it illegal to sell whale meat?
Is it illegal to sell whale meat?
It is illegal to sell any kind of whale meat in the United States. Sei whales are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and they are listed as endangered in Endangered Species Act of 1973.
Is it illegal to serve whale?
While it is considered a delicacy in Japan and some other countries, meat from whale — an endangered species — cannot be sold legally in the United States.
Where do they sell whale meat?
There is relatively little demand for it, compared to farmed livestock, and commercial whaling, which has faced opposition for decades, continues today in very few countries (mainly Iceland, Japan and Norway), although whale meat used to be eaten across Western Europe and colonial America.
Do restaurants serve whale?
Sei whales, found worldwide, are endangered but are sometimes hunted in the North Pacific under a controversial Japanese scientific program. It is highly unusual for a restaurant to serve the meat in the United States.
Is it legal to eat whale in Japan?
The Japanese have whaled for centuries, but consumption of whale meat peaked after World War II. Under international rules, Japan can hunt whales that aren't endangered for scientific research, but the meat is sold commercially and there's a huge surplus of it stored frozen in warehouses across the country.
Did Whalers eat whale meat?
The answer is occasionally, and sometimes grudgingly. American whalers felt the gamey flavor and tough texture classified whale meat as improper for consumption. Some found the taste of dolphins and porpoises more palatable, while others didn't mind the taste of the giant whales.
Which country eats the most whale meat?
In Iceland, the majority of whale meat is consumed by tourists.
What whale meat taste like?
Because it is a mammal, whale meat is not like fish, but more a very gamey version of beef, or even venison. 'The taste is different from beef. Whale meat is more tender than beef, and it's more easy to digest,' said Mrs Ohnishi, insisting it has other benefits.
Why is it bad to eat whale meat?
Dioxins can cause cancer, metabolic dysfunction, and immune system disorders. Methylmercury consumption can cause neurological and developmental problems. The contaminants are often highly concentrated in blubber because they are lipophilic, meaning they bond easily and even preferentially to fat.
Is it OK to eat minke whale?
Unlike fin whales, minke whales are hunted for one reason only: food. Minke meat is served in Icelandic restaurants, largely to cater to intrigued tourists who are under the impression that eating whale meat is traditional.
Where can you eat whale meat in Japan?
In Japan, few people eat whale meat anymore, but whaling remains popular Kujira no Tomisui, a whale restaurant at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, has a stand out front and a sit-down restaurant in the back.
Why was whale meat so important to Japan?
Many of the restaurant's customers remember eating whale as children, including one man in his 50s who says he had it in school, stir-fried with ketchup. He didn't like the taste much, but enjoyed learning how important whaling was to Japanese culture. The Japanese have whaled for centuries, but consumption of whale meat peaked after World War II.
Is there still a whaling industry in Japan?
The meat still sometimes shows up in school lunches, and the whaling industry has tried to boost consumer demand with nostalgic ads aimed at older people; however, it hasn't had much impact. Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo sells every kind of seafood imaginable — including whale.

On the Train
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from On the Train (poem))
Jump to: navigation, search
"On The Train" is a poem by Gillian Clarke. Its chief subject matter is the Paddington rail crash and its aftermath.
The poem imagines commuters on the train heading towards the "bone-ship" and refers to the anxiety of passengers and loved ones alike in the days following the disaster. Clarke uses the technology of 1999 to ground her poem in reality - the mobile phones of the victims lie in the wreckage of the train while their friends and family frantically try to ring them. She quotes the phrase:
"The Vodafone you are calling
May have been switched off.
Please call later."
This everyday phrase takes on a new, more sinister meaning in context. Clarke concludes the poem by taking a lenient view, post-Paddington, of train passengers who make mobile phone calls - they no longer seem irritating, merely essential for reassuring people that they are still alive.
This poem was written soon after the mobile phone boom of the late 1990s and as such is one of the first comments on the phenomenon. Two years later, mobile phones would again be closely linked with tragedy during the September 11 attacks.
The poem has been included in the AQA Anthology for study at GCSE alongside several other of Gillian Clarke's poems. It is one of a number of Clarke poems - including "A Difficult Birth" and "The Field-Mouse" - that comment on contemporary events alongside the minutiae of Clarke's own life.

A project involving countries from all over Europe faces the challenge of developing a common terminology and a common understanding of its basic ideas. Although the roots of IBST as the main approach to improving science teaching and learning in S-TEAM lead back to the early 20th century (Minner. Levy & Century, 2009), the seminars showed that no common definition currently exists at a European level. In many of the participating countries appropriate translations of the term in the national language were not found. In S-TEAM the following definition of IBST given by Linn, Davis and Bell (2004) was chosen as a common basis for discussion:
[Inquiry is] the intentional process of diagnosing problems, critiquing experiments, and distinguishing alternatives, planning investigations, researching conjectures, searching for information, constructing models, debating with peers and forming coherent arguments.
The S-TEAM proposal described inquiry-based science teaching as being characterised by activities that engage students in:
 - authentic and problem based learning activities where there may not be a correct answer
 - a certain amount of experimental procedures, experiments and "hands on" activities, including searching for information
 - self regulated learning sequences where student autonomy is emphasised
discursive argumentation and communication with peers ("talking science")

Irrigation Water for Greenhouses
Treating Greenhouse Irrigation Water for Individual Salts
Excess amounts of some nutrients in irrigation water may damage greenhouse crops. Irrigation waters differ widely in concentrations of nutrients. High concentrations of chloride (Cl) or boron (B) can damage crops. Other nutrients supplied by irrigation waters may also satisfy or exceed crop needs.
Iron chemistry is complex because ionic Fe can exist in two forms. The reduced cationic form, exhibiting two plus charges, is the ferrous form (Fe2+), which is invisible. The ferrous form may be introduced into the irrigation system with the source water because this form of iron is soluble. Chemical conditions may change within the irrigation system itself, resulting in formation of a highly insoluble oxidized form with three positive charges (ferric, Fe3+). It is the ferric or oxidized (rusted) form that becomes apparent through precipitation, and usually appears as brownish red colored particles suspended in the water and causes problems within the irrigation system.
Depth of Irrigation Intake from Holding Pond
Greenhouse growers can reduce the problem of iron deposits by making sure that their irrigation intakes are located 18 to 30 inches below the surface of the water in the holding pond. Intakes too close to the bottom pull settled iron sediment off the bottom of the pond (See Figure 11.11). Those too close to the surface pull more of the oxidized form and other organisms that flourish on iron such as iron fixing bacteria.
Tank Oxidation followed by Filtration
The recommended treatment to remove iron is oxidation, sedimentation, and then filtration (See Figure 11.12). If enough space is available, pump the source water into a tank where the insoluble iron compounds can precipitate and settle out. The water is often pumped in as a spray for rapid oxidation of the iron to an insoluble form. Other ways of aerating the water include bleeding air into the intake side of a pump, agitating the water with propellers or paddles, and cascading it over baffles into a settling tank.
Chlorine is often the material of choice as a disinfectant and oxidizing agent. To be effective the chlorine requires a one-minute contact time in the irrigation water to kill iron bacteria or have an oxidizing effect to change ferrous to ferric iron. Chlorination eliminates the food source for the iron bacteria and also eliminates both types of iron deposits on surfaces irrigated. Injection must occur upstream of the filter to remove the precipitate. Usually sand media filters are installed and two media filters generally are recommended so one can be backflushed while the other filter operates during irrigation.
Inject an inhibitor that prevents iron precipitation. Compounds such as polymeric acid, polyphosphate, and phosphonic acid have been used as inhibitors. These compounds must be injected prior to any oxidation of ferrous iron to ferric iron, and they do not work if ferric iron has already formed. The injection rate for the inhibitors is usually less than 5 ppm.
Another approach to eliminating problems of precipitates is to keep the iron in soluble form. Polyphosphate chelates added to water attach to the soluble iron and keep it from becoming oxidized. Chelation generally works if the soluble iron and manganese concentration in the water is low (less than 1 to 2 ppm).
These filters trap pathogen cells and spores and plant debris in irrigation water in a deep column of sand, recycled glass, packed mineral or glass fibers, and/or other dense substrates. The most notable of these are conventional sand and recycled glass.
Calcium and Magnesium
Calcium and magnesium may need to removed from hard water to eliminate salt deposits left on foliage by overhead irrigation. Reducing hardness is called water softening. Ways to soften water include: ion exchange, desalination processes such as reverse osmosis, use of lime, pH adjustment, and controlling water temperatures.
The most effective way to treat hard water is to install an ion exchange resin softener. This softening equipment works best when pH is between 7.0 and 8.0 and water temperatures are less than 0 degree F (32 °C). In this process, the resins are used to remove calcium and magnesium from the water by exchanging their ions, in a sense, with the "soft" ions of sodium or potassium.
Hard waters with a salinity level greater than 2.5 dS/m (1500 mg/L) and chloride level greater than 600 mg/L need desalination for domestic and home garden use.
In lime softening, hydrated lime, that is, Ca(OH)2 calcium hydroxide, is added to water to precipitate calcium carbonate before the water is used. The amount of lime required depends on hardness levels.
The aim of pH adjustment is to acidify the water to keep scale-forming calcium and magnesium ions in solution and not allow them to precipitate. Even complete blockages can be treated with acid. Acidifying the water can be done by adding acid to the irrigation system at metered rates. Hydrochloric or sulfuric acid is commonly used.
Fluoride can be removed from irrigation water by adsorption using activated alumina or activated carbon. When using activated alumina, the pH of the water is first adjusted to 5.5. The activated alumina unit can be regenerated with a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide, and reused.
Boron occurs in many irrigation water sources in the anionic borate form. Anion exchange resins similar to those described for deionization systems can be used, but at considerable expense.

A computer system designed to analyse the motion of traffic has found a new role: tracking the movement of sperm to help in the treatment of male infertility.
Geoff Hobson developed the traffic tracking system while a professor at the University of Sheffield. He collaborated with Bill Holt of the Institute of Zoology in London to produce the Hobson Sperm Tracker which is now being sold by Hobson's Sheffield-based company, Sense and Vision Electronic Systems.
The sperm tracker can analyse live sperm via a video camera attached to a microscope, which is trained on a sample of semen. Alternatively, video recordings of sperm movement can be fed straight into the system's computer.
The sperms' motion is detected by comparing each frame of the video image with the previous one and registering the difference. The system displays the results as colour tracks superimposed over the microscope image. Information on eight aspects...

[elghm0a@login510-27 acc_test]$ srun -N 1 --gres=gpu:v100:8 --time=3:0:0 --pty bash
You'll then need to activate the conda environment.
Finally, you can start the training process by calling accelerator's launcher.
(Optional) you can add --checkpointing_steps epoch at the end to create checkpoints after each epoch.
The output should look like the following.
Launching accelerator in a jobscript
You can simply run accelerator through a slurm jobscript
Change <conda_installation_path> with the installation path for your conda.
The output should be redirected to a .out file

The total population of Jiuzhai Valley National Park is just over 1,000, comprising of over 110 families. The nine Tibetan Villages of Jiuzhai Valley are He Ye, Jian Pan, Ya Na, Pan Ya, Guo Du, Ze Cha Wa, Hei Jiao, Shu Zheng and Re Xi. Although not officially discovered by the government until 1972, the earliest human activities have been recorded as dating back as early as to the Yin-Shang Period (16th - 11th Century B. C.)
The main villages that are readily accessible to tourists are He Ye, Shu Zheng and Ze Cha Wa along the main routes that cater to tourists, selling various handi-crafts, souvenirs and snacks. There is also Re Xi in the smaller Zha Ru Valley and behind He Ye village are Jian Pan, Pan Ya and Ya Na villages. The Valley's no longer populated villages are Guo Du and Hei Jiao.

Dalmatians won our hearts when Disney made a whole movie about them. But do you know where Dalmatians came from? Here are six interesting facts you didn't know about this breed:
1. Their Origins Are Mysterious
No one knows exactly where the Dalmatian originated. This may be because Dalmatians have often traveled with Romani people, who are historically nomadic. The Dalmatian takes his name from a place called Dalmatia, a province of Austria on the Eastern shore of the coast of Venice. We know for sure that the breed had a stronghold there, though we cannot be positive that it was their country of origin.
2. The Breed Is Very Old
Even though we don't know exactly where they came from, we do know Dalmatians have been around for a long time. Spotted dogs have been found painted on the walls of Egyptian tombs, running alongside chariots.
3. They Have Served Many Different Purposes
In times of war, Dalmatians served as sentinels at the borders of Dalmatia and Croatia. They have also been herding, ratting, and hunting dogs. The Dalmatian is also the only dog breed that was bred for "coaching," which means running alongside a stagecoach and clearing crowds out of the way, so the horses could pass through.
4. Fire Departments Used Them as Coach Dogs
Dalmatians are famous for being firehouse dogs. This is because Dalmatians used to serve as coaching dogs for horse-drawn fire coaches. With the invention of fire trucks, the Dalmatians weren't really needed anymore. But many firehouses still keep Dalmatians as mascots.
5. Dalmatian Puppies Have No Spots at Birth
If you've seen "One Hundred and One Dalmatians," you may remember that Pongo and Perdita's 15 puppies are all white when they're born. Like real Dalmatians, they only get their spots as they grow older.
6. Their Coats Are One-of-a-Kind
Just like no two people have the same fingerprints, no two Dalmatians have exactly the same pattern of spots. Someone should have told Cruella de Vil that Dalmatians are not good coat material, because every section of the coat would have been different.

Linn Cove Viaduct has become an iconic photograph and location in the High Country. There is really no wonder why.
When it was completed in 1987, for just $10 million, the bridge was heralded for being a significant engineering accomplishment. The 1,243 foot segmental concrete bridge hugs the slopes of Grandfather Mountain in Linville, North Carolina. It was the last portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway to be finished and the reason was no one knew how to create a safe, curve hugging road bridge that spanned such a long stretch of trail.
The viaduct was absolutely crucial though, because a traditionally built route through the portion of Grandfather Mountain that it snakes across, would have actually caused a great deal of biodiversity and terrain damage.
Linn Cove Viaduct was designed and built by Figg and Muller Engineers, Inc. Eugene C. Figg and Jean Muller received international accolades for their use of segmental construction methods of bridge building. Figg was from Charleston, South Carolina and based in Florida, and his partner, Muller, was based in Paris. Construction began on the project in 1979, some 8 years before it was completed. It consists of 153 different segment pieces. Each of them weigh 50 tons!
The segments were pre-constructed at a facility located at the south end of the parkway and were then transported to the bridge site. Each section had to be lowered into place by a custom crane that was built just for this project. Imagine all that the engineers and builders went through during each wet and rainy season, and snowy season atop Grandfather Mountain. Since it's completion the bridge has received 11 design awards.
If you wish to view the bridge and enjoy the ride across it, drive North on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Boone / Blowing Rock areas and you'll find it at Milepost 304. There is a Linn Cove Visitor Center that spotlights the engineering process and pays tribute to it through historical photo exhibits. It is located on the south end of the Viaduct, heading towards Grandfather.
Want to hike around the Viaduct? There is a great one mile loop hiking trail that you can hike for a upclose view of some of the concrete segments. Look for the paved trail at the visitor center and follow it. It also leads to the famous Tanawha Trail (a portion of the Mountains to Sea Trail), which is a longer hiking route that is popular with visitors to the area, as well as locals. Linn Cove Viaduct has been described as almost 'floating' in the air, above the foliage and terrain of the mountains below. The paved portion of the Linn Cove Viaduct trail ends at about the 1/3 mile mark. You can continue up a dirt trail further, and climb by/over a huge boulder for another 1/3 mile where there is a rock you can stand on for a great photograph. After you climb, and switchback over the Viaduct, there is a side trail to the right. You can look for the sign on the left at the Intersection of the side trail so you know that you are in the right spot.

IChemE at 100: celebrating a century of achievements, a future of success
4th January 2022
2022 marks the centenary of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) with this monumental milestone providing a timely opportunity to celebrate the profession, the achievements of chemical engineers over the last 100 years, and a future of success.
From the Institution's inaugural meeting held at the Hotel Cecil in London on 2 May 1922 to the vibrant membership body of over 30,000 members across the globe today, IChemE has been advancing chemical engineering's contribution for 100 years.
A programme of activities throughout the year will honour the work of chemical engineers, past and present, and will present the innovations being developed to meet the many challenges of the future. This evolution of the chemical engineering profession is why the commemorations have been titled 'ChemEng Evolution'.
To explore the impact that chemical engineering has on modern lives, each month a different theme will be examined. The themes have been selected to highlight and celebrate the enormous contribution that chemical engineering has made to society over the last century.
The programme of activities will include; monthly themed webinar panel discussions with industry and research leaders guiding discussions on the future of the profession and its role in society; a blog series with members discovering areas to celebrate, communicate and inspire from each theme; as well as a series of feature articles in The Chemical Engineer magazine.
A dedicated centenary website hosts a vast collection of articles written by members on topics that range from "COVID-19, an impact on the whole world" to "Message in a plastic bottle – the search for sustainability". Also included on the website are details of the chemical engineers who inspired IChemE's Past Presidents. These range from Margaret Hutchinson Rousseau as nominated by Past President Julia Higgins to Trevor Keltz as nominated by Past President Ken Rivers.
IChemE President, Jane Cutler, said:
"As the 80th President of IChemE, I am delighted to be leading our historic Institution at this important landmark. The world we live in may have changed significantly since the inaugural meeting in 1922, but one thing has remained constant and that is the commitment of chemical engineers to serve our society.
"I encourage you all to participate in the programme of activities to celebrate our profession. The webinar panel discussions will provide a wonderful forum for debate and conversation, and everyone is invited to participate.
"The centenary is the perfect time to acknowledge the contributions of the many people who have been part of IChemE's 100-year history and who paved the way to make our institution what it is today. I would like to thank our incredible members, volunteers and staff who work together to achieve our aims."

Your sweat can now power a radio
Scientists have invented a skin patch that generates power from sweat, according to New Scientist. Sweat powered a radio for two days and could eventually be used for devices to monitor medical conditions.
How it works: The patch contains enzymes that replace batteries and "feed off sweat to provide power." Joseph Wang, a member of the team from U.C. San Diego that worked on the technology, told New Scientist: "If you were out for a run, you would be able to power a mobile device."
What's next: Right now there is extensive research into flexible sensors and electronics that would allow people to continually monitor health conditions through wearable devices. Wang hopes these sensors could eventually generate "enough power for a Bluetooth connection" so results could be read off a smartphone.

A History of the Natal Provincial Division of the Supreme Court of South Africa during the Judge Presidency of Richard Feetham (_PHONE_) : with particular reference to the bench and bar.
Richard Feetham was Judge President of the Natal Provincial Division from 1 May 1930 to 18 July 1939. He succeeded Dove Wilson who was an able but not a very learned or dynamic Judge President. Thus, at the time of his appointment the Natal Court and its judgments were treated with little respect by the other provincial divisions. Feetham JP, unlike his predecessor, was not only a scholar with a towering intellect but a man endowed with outstanding leadership qualities. He was thus ideally suited to bring about a change for the better in the status of the Natal Court. He did this by taking a dynamic lead and presided over and delivered a high proportion of the courts' judgments. He also set his brethren an excellent example by the high standard he set for himself and his court and which they emulated. This thesis thus also covers the careers of these puisne and acting puisne judges and their contribution towards the better administration of justice in Natal. In 1930 there existed in Natal a disinct system of dual practice with a de facto Bar. This system had been a vexed question in the minds of Natal lawyers for two decades but when Feetham JP was confronted with it he immediately addressed the controversial issue and brought about the necessary reforms to divide the legal profession and bring Natal into line with the rest of South Africa. This reform raised the quality of pleading and manner in which the law was presented. It also provided the Natal Bench with able personnel for the future from within Natal. Accordingly this thesis also assesses the careers of the main legal practitioners of that period and their contribution towards the development of the administration of justice in Natal. In less than ten years Feetham JP thus transformed the Natal Provincial Division from being weak and ineffectual to a position where it became a division respected for its Bench, judgments and legal profession. During the course of time history has confirmed the overall significance of Richard Feetham's Judge Presidency.


M \rightarrow M'' \rightarrow 0} an exact sequence of f.g. {A}-modules, then {0 \rightarrow \hat{M'} \rightarrow \hat{M} \rightarrow \hat{M''} \rightarrow 0} is exact.
 First of all, I claim that {\hat{M'} = \varprojlim M'/ M' \cap I^n M}. This follows from the Artin-Rees lemma: the projective limit is the completion of {M'} with respect to the topology from the filtration {M' \cap I^n M}. But Artin-Rees implies this is the same topology as that induced by the {I}-adic filtration {I^n M'}. Since completion only depends on the topology, the claim follows.
This is one reason I like to think in terms of topologies and not merely algebraically via inverse limits, though some books don't seem to indicate this (in my opinion, cleaner) proof.
Now by the claim, for each {n} we have an exact sequence
\displaystyle 0 \rightarrow M'/M' \cap I^n M \rightarrow M/I^n M \rightarrow M''/I^n M'' \rightarrow 0.
When we take the inverse limit of these sequences, we get the sequence of completions. The result follows from the two general lemmas:
Lemma 4
If {0 \rightarrow A'_n \rightarrow A_n \rightarrow A''_n \rightarrow 0, \ n \in \mathbb{N}} is an inverse system of exact sequences, then

\displaystyle 0 \rightarrow \varprojlim A'_n \rightarrow \varprojlim A_n \rightarrow \varprojlim A''_n
is exact.

The proof is perhaps best thought of as a general phenomenon involving adjoint functors, but there is a quick (if less enlightening) direct proof too:
Injectivity on the left can be checked directly from the definition of {\varprojlim} as a subset of some direct product. Similarly, if {(a_n) \in \varprojlim A_n} has each {a_n \rightarrow 0} in {A''_n}, then in fact each {a_n \in A'_n} and satisfies appropriate compatibility conditions, so it follows that {(a_n)} comes from some element in {\varprojlim A'_n}.
Right-exactness is not true generally, though in some special cases it is:
Lemma 5
If {0 \rightarrow A'_n \rightarrow A_n \rightarrow A''_n \rightarrow 0, \ n \in \mathbb{M}} is an inverse system of exact sequences with the maps {A'_n \rightarrow A'_m} for {n \geq m} surjective, then

\displaystyle 0 \rightarrow \varprojlim A'_n \rightarrow \varprojlim A_n \rightarrow \varprojlim A''_n \rightarrow 0
is exact.

We need only to show that if we are given {(a''_n) \in \varprojlim A''_n \subset \prod A''_n}, we can lift this to some {(a_n) \in \varprojlim A_n}. For a preliminary approximation, choose for each {n} some {b_n \in A_n} with {b_n \rightarrow a''_n}; however {b_n} needn't satisfy the compatibility conditions for the inverse limit.
Define the {a_n} from the {b_n} inductively as follows. Set {a_0 = b_0}. Assume {a_1, \dots,a_{n-1}} are defined, satisfy the compatibility conditions, and map to {a''_1, \dots, a''_{n-1}}. Then if {f^n_{n-1}: A_n \rightarrow A_{n-1}} is the map defining the inverse system, we have {f^n_{n-1}(b_n) - a_{n-1}} maps to zero in {A''_{n-1}} (draw a commutative diagram). So {f^n_{n-1}(b_n) - a_{n-1} \in A'_{n-1}}. Now by surjectivity, choose {a' \in A'_{n}} with
\displaystyle f^n_{n-1}(b_n) + f^n_{n-1}(a') = a_{n-1} \ \ \ \ \ (2)
and set {a_n := b_n + a'}. Since {a' \in A'_{n}}, {a_n} still maps to {a''_n} in {A''_n}, and (2) implies the compatibility condition holds. Now continue the induction.

Every organisation that works with children needs to have someone that takes the lead on safeguarding and child protection. We refer to them as a nominated child protection lead but they may also be known as:
- Designated Safeguarding Officer (DSO)
- Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)
- "Named person" for child protection
- Child protection officer
- Child protection lead
- Safeguarding or child protection coordinator.
The role may be performed by one person or split between staff. Larger organisations may have a safeguarding team. Boards of governors, trustees and management committees should also have someone who is responsible for safeguarding. In some organisations the nominated child protection lead also has other roles to perform.
You should also make sure that you have procedures in place to respond to child protection concerns when your nominated lead is absent or unavailable. This could include nominating someone who is trained to act as a deputy. You can also contact the NSPCC Helpline for advice or to report any concerns. Make sure that you keep clear records and communicate what's happened and the steps you've taken to your nominated child protection lead on their return.
Example role description for nominated child protection lead
We've created an example role description which you can use to make sure everyone in your organisation understands the important role of the nominated child protection lead. It should be used in conjunction with our information and resources on safeguarding and child protection.
Everyone who is taking the lead on safeguarding and child protection should be fully trained to carry out their role.

6.3. Networks
6.3.1. Network Card Limit in Virtual Machines
6.3.2. ARP Packet Checksum Errors
6.3.3. Changing Cluster Heartbeat Network Does Not Reflect New IP Address
This section contains the known issues and workarounds related to networks and networking.
6.3.1. Network Card Limit in Virtual Machines
Oracle VM Manager supports eight network cards for each HVM virtual machine as outlined in Table 5 "Virtual machine maximums". However, the system library does not allow users to add more than three network cards when creating a virtual machine from installation media.
Workaround: After the virtual machine is created, add up to five new network cards by editing the virtual machine in Oracle VM Manager.
6.3.2. ARP Packet Checksum Errors
VLANs over bond mode 6 (balance-alb) bridge interface are not supported as this mode is incompatible with VLAN bridge interfaces.
Workaround: There are two workarounds for this problem:
 - Use bond mode 6 as a bridge interface; do not use VLANs over bond mode 6.
 - Use VLANs over bond modes (1=active-backup or 4=802.3ad) as a bridge interface.
6.3.3. Changing Cluster Heartbeat Network Does Not Reflect New IP Address
If you move the Cluster Heartbeat network role to another network, with a different IP address, the change is not reflected in the Oracle VM Servers.
Workaround: Edit the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf file on each Oracle VM Server in the network to reflect the new IP address, and restart each Oracle VM Server.
