It depends almost entirely on how much data is being displayed in the document. Geospatial datasets can vary over several orders of magnitude ranging from bytes to terabytes, and so too do GeoPDF and all PDF documents. Here are some general rules:
- If no feature attributes are placed in the GeoPDF document, the PDF representation (e.g., the PDF file) is generally smaller than the data used to create it.
- If all the feature attributes are included in the PDF file, it's often larger, sometimes substantially so, than the data used to create it, although using GeoPackage feature attributes with TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS can mitigate this substantially.
- One case where GeoPDF documents are almost always larger than their non-TerraGo analogs is when the TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS capability to include layers with scale-dependent visibility is used. In this case, Publisher will add layers that wouldn't be added otherwise, meaning that more information was packed into the resultant document at the cost of the space to store it.

higher ed a cult:
Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader.
- Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.
- No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.
- No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.
- Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.
- There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.
- Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.
- There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.
- Followers feel they can never be "good enough".
- The group/leader is always right.
- The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.

eisteddfod (Īstĕħˈvəd, –vôd) [key] [Welsh, = session], Welsh competitive festival. Contests traditionally are held in all the arts and crafts, with special emphasis on music and poetry. The National Eisteddfod is held annually for one week in August, alternately in the north and the south, but local eisteddfods are held throughout Wales during the year. A historical institution (12th cent.), it is important in maintaining national feeling and preserving the Welsh language and culture and is enthusiastically supported by the Welsh. Its outstanding ceremony is the "chairing" of the winning bard. The bardic assembly (gorsedd) has been a part of the National Eisteddfod since 1819. The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, begun in 1947 at Llangollen, Denbighshire, is held annually in July, and features choral, instrumental, and folk music and dance performed by some 4,000 artists.

The proposal for the solar park takes on a mixture of environmental responsibilities and experiments in the form of pursuing new solutions to our persistent energy problems. In the process of finding further efficient ways to travel, the older roads are left behind unused. To invigorate the older route and give it purpose, we propose to combine the hard science of solar energy experiments and the soft ideals and principles of interacting with nature through parks while researching environmental and sustainable energy studies. The solar park emerges through phasing, which initiates between the furthest point away from the faster new route and the slower old route. The pressure from incoming and outgoing traffic engages the parts that are existing agriculture, indicated in yellow, and introduces the areas that can be allocated for solar energy collection and sustainable energy experiments, indicated in blue. We propose to convert the slower route as a bike route and along which both the agriculture and solar park begin mixing. The final phase would introduce a terracing technique along the side of the mountain when the solar park begins expanding past the plateau of the mountain and wind power collection coming of the sea along the viaducts. The introduction of the solar park can appear anywhere along the highway and can spread the entire stretch of Calabria from Bagnara Calabra to Scilla. The provisional cost for the first and second phases would be estimated lower than the cost of the destruction of the older route. Depending on how successful the solar proposals are in the first two phases, ideally the first two phases would self generate the costs of the third phase.

When Ruth Wakefield ran out of Baker's chocolate to make her chocolate cookies and decided to use pieces of a chocolate bar to finish the task, she never thought it would result in the creation of America's favorite cookie. But it did, and the rest, so they say, is history.
Ruth Graves Wakefield graduated in 1924 from the Framingham State Normal School Department of Household Arts, and for a time worked as a dietitian and food lecturer. Then in the 1930s, she and her husband Kenneth bought a small bed and breakfast near Whitman, Massachusetts named the Toll House Inn, where she prepared the meals. Soon, Ruth gained a reputation with the guests and locals alike as a fantastic cook and exceptional baker. One of her more well known treats was Butter Drop Do cookies, in which the recipe called for Baker's chocolate. One evening in 1937, while making this popular cookie, she found herself without the necessary chocolate so she decided to cut-up a chocolate bar given to her as a gift by Andrew Nestle and use it to finish her cookies. Mistakenly, she thought the pieces would melt into the dough to produce her delicious chocolate cookies. However, instead of melting, the chocolate pieces only softened.
As the story goes, while Wakefield was disappointed in her little fiasco, the resulting cookies were "decent," so she went ahead and served them to her guests. Needless to say, they were an instant hit. In fact, they were so well liked that more and more guests began requesting her to bake them during their stay at the inn.
Soon Ruth Wakefield's cookie, which she named the Chocolate Crunch Cookie, had grown so popular and the recipe in such demand that she allowed it to be printed in several New England newspapers. And as the popularity of Ruth's new cookie increased, so increased the sales of Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bar. So much so that soon Andrew Nestle expressed the desire to print the recipe on its packaging.
Then in 1938, Ruth and the Nestle Chocolate Company reached an agreement by which Nestle would print what was renamed the Toll House Cookie recipe on the back of the bright yellow Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar package in exchange for a lifetime supply of free chocolate with which to bake her cookies.
The Toll House Inn was built on the site of an actual 1709 toll house built on the highway between Boston and New Bedford, a prosperous whaling town. It was the place where coach passengers enjoyed a meal and short rest while the horses were changed and the toll was paid. The Wakefields operated the Inn until 1966 when it was sold. Ruth Wakefield died in 1977, and the building burned down on New Year's Eve in 1984.

Some Cookie Trivia:
- It is estimated that 50% of all cookies baked at home are chocolate chip.
- The average American will eat about 35,000 cookies in their lifetime.
- Americans bake, spend more money on, and eat more cookies than any other nation in the world.
- There is an official Chocolate Chip Day in America–August 4
- The world's record for the biggest cookie ever baked is held by a 102 foot wide chocolate chip cookie that weighed 40,000 pounds, or 20 tons.

An accelerated test model is derived by testing the item of interest at a normal stress level and also at one or more accelerated stress levels. Extreme care must be taken when using accelerated environments to recognize and properly identify those failures which will occur in normal field use and conversely those that are not typical of normal use. Since an accelerated environment typically means applying a stress level well above the anticipated field stress, accelerated stress can induce false failure mechanisms that are not possible in actual field use. For example, raising the temperature of the test item to a point where the material properties change or where a dormant activation threshold is exceeded could identify failures which cannot occur during normal field use. In this situation, fixing the failure may only add to the product cost without an associated increase in reliability. Understanding the true failure mechanism is paramount to eliminating the root cause of the failure.

This is the embroidered linen nightcap worn by Charles I on the eve of his execution, the 29th-30th January 1649. With the death of the King, the monarchy was abolished and England became a republic governed by the Commonwealth. Charles' trial was unprecedented in world history, and the events that followed were unique in British history. Upon the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, parliament declared Charles a martyr, added him to the calendar of Anglican saints, and ordered prayers to be said in his memory and honour on the anniversary of his death. Interest in the cult of Charles's martyrdom was revived in Queen Victoria's reign.
The nightcap was donated by Queen Victoria to Carisbrooke Castle Museum (established in 1898 by her daughter Princess Beatrice) where it can be seen today. Charles I was confined at Carisbrooke Castle from November 1647 to November 1648, before being brought to trial in London. His time at Carisbrooke was marked by failed attempts at escape, and fruitless negotiations with both Parliament and potential allies. The story of Charles I in the Isle of Wight is a significant part of the island's history and of the present museum's content.

A trailing drawdown is a drawdown that is pegged to your positive account performance. That means that if you increase your profit by $1.00, then your trailing drawdown will also rise by $1.00. All rules, including trailing, use closed and open equity intraday.
For example, in a $25,000.00 account your starting trailing drawdown is $23,500.00.
On your first trade as you make $100.00 in profit bringing your account balance to $25,100.00. This correspondingly raises your trailing drawdown to $23,600.00.
This continues until your trailing drawdown reaches the starting balance of your account, or in this case $25,000.00, at which point the drawdown will no longer trail above $25,000.00.
You can check your current maximum drawdown in R | Trader Pro's Trader Dashboard by looking at the Auto Liquidate Threshold Value column. It'll tell you exactly what balance your account is liquidated at.

What does square waves in the ocean mean?
Square waves are the result of two sets of wave systems blending with each other at differing angles. They usually form when two different weather systems meet up and their winds cause the wave grids to form. The resulting currents can wreck ships and pose a threat to people in the water.

text: The Ribeiro Denomination of Origin is in Southern Galicia, on the North-West edge of the province of Ourense, where the valleys formed by the Miño, Avia, Arnoia and Barbantiño rivers meet. The area's distinctive climate is due to its sheltered position and its southern location in Galicia. The land is well protected from sub-Atlantic storms and enjoys an Oceanic-Mediterranean micro-climate, making it damp with mild temperatures that reach an annual average of 72 degrees. Most soils are comprised of granite with a large quantity of stones and gravel. There is some silt-sand mixture and to a lesser degree, sand-silt, although silty textures can also be found in areas of alluvial sediment and finer textures on metamorphic rock.

RETIMING DESCRIPTION
Retiming is a sequential optimization technique to move registers across combinatorial logic to improve the design performance without affecting the input/output behavior of the circuit. The circuit shown in Figure 1 has a critical path with a 6-input adder. The path highlighted in red is the path that limits the performance of the whole circuit.
Figure 1 : Example of a register-to-register path with 6-input adder logicFigure 1 : Example of a register-to-register path with 6-input adder logic
The performance of the circuit shown here can be improved by retiming the registers on the adder output into the combinatorial logic of the circuit.
The overall latency of the circuit is 4. Figure 2 shows one way to move the registers in order to minimize the logic. Moving the output registers into the cone of logic is called backward retiming. When this is done, the critical path is reduced to a 2-input adder.
Figure 2 : Example of a register-to-register path with a 2-input adder by applying backward retimingFigure 2 : Example of a register-to-register path with a 2-input adder by applying backward retiming
One other thing to note about the above examples is that the number of registers has changed.
Figure 1 had 9 different register buses. Figure 2 has 12 different registers buses. The reason for this is that when performing backward retiming, when it is moved from the output to the input both inputs of the gate must now have a register.
There are two different types of retiming, backward retiming and forward retiming. Backward retiming removes registers from the output of a gate, and creates new registers at the inputs of the same gate. Forward retiming does the exact opposite, it removes registers from the input of a gate, and creates a new one at the output.
For backward retiming to work, the combinatorial logic must drive only the register and not fanout to other logic. For forward retiming to work, each input of the gate must be driven by a register with the same control logic.
Figure 3 shows the same circuit with either forward or backward retiming.
Figure 3 : AND gate either being forward retimed or backward retimedFigure 3 : AND gate either being forward retimed or backward retimed
GLOBAL RETIMING VS LOCAL RETIMING
There are two ways to enable automatic retiming in Vivado Synthesis, Global and Local.
Global retiming works on the full design and moves registers across large combinatorial logic structures based on the timing of the design.
It will analyze all of the logic in the design and move registers in the worst case paths in order to make the overall design faster. In order for this to work, the design must have accurate timing constraints in the .xdc file. Global retiming is enabled with the -retiming switch in synth_design or in the Vivado GUI under synthesis settings. In addition, this feature can also be used with the BLOCK_SYNTH feature in synthesis to target specific modules in your design.
Local retiming is when a user specifically tells the tool which logic to perform the retiming on using the retiming_forward/retiming_backward RTL attributes.
Care should be taken when performing local retiming as it is not timing driven and the tool will do exactly what is asked of it.
For more information on the use of retiming, please refer to (UG901) Vivado Design Suite User Guide : Synthesis.
ANALYZING MESSAGES FROM THE LOG FILE
Figure 4 shows an example where retiming can improve logic levels. The structure has a critical path of 3 logic levels coming from a 37 bit AND gate. The source register is called din1_dly_reg and the destination register is called tmp1_reg with an extra register after tmp1_reg with 0 logic levels.
This is an ideal path to retime as we can switch to one path with 3 logic levels followed by a path with 0 levels to a path with 2 logic levels followed by a path with 1 or 2 levels.

Figure 4 : Circuit that can be backward retimedFigure 4 : Circuit that can be backward retimed
The synthesis log file looks similar to the following:
image.png

From this log file you can see the reported logic levels before and after retiming, and the names of the new registers that were created. When synthesis creates new registers from retiming, it will use the suffix "bret" for registers that were backward retimed, and "fret" for registers that were forwards retimed.
Figure 5 shows a circuit where incompatible register elements will make retiming illegal. The structure again has a start register called din1_dly_reg going through a 37 bit AND gate causing 3 levels of logic, and then ending at a register called din1_dly_reg. In addition, the AND gate has a fanout to another register highlighted in pink.
Figure 5 : Example of a circuit that can't be retimedFigure 5 : Example of a circuit that can't be retimed
This example cannot be retimed because of the register highlighted in pink. This register has an asynchronous reset where tmp1_reg does not. Because the two registers do not have the same control set, they are not able to be backward retimed into the AND gate logic. The log file in this example will show the following:
image.png

The log file includes a message about incompatible flip-flops and the before and after logic levels do not change.
Retiming cannot happen in the following situations:
1. Timing Exceptions on a register (multicycle paths, false paths, max delays)
2. Keep type attributes on the register (DONT_TOUCH, MARK_DEBUG)
3. Registers with different control sets
4. Registers driving outputs or being driven by inputs (unless design is marked as out-of-context).

Example where retiming is unable to improve the critical path in a feedback loop:
 When a path has the same source and destination register, retiming optimization might not be able to improve logic levels.
 For example:
 The critical path for the register "dout_reg" is highlighted in red. It goes through a reduction AND operator and ends at the reset pin of the same register.
 The reduction AND operator will consume 2 logic levels based on the width which we have i.e. 16-bit.

The Screen capture below shows how synthesis describes the nature of the critical path.
It also mentions the cell names which are part of the critical path.

Does item 3 also cover clock domain crossings so they under no circumstances gets retimed? Or will such paths get optimized if the clocks do not have any asynchronous clock group setting?

@tsjorgensen, yes item 3 = different control sets covers clock domain crossings.
A control set is the combination of the clock, clock enable and reset signal. A different clock means a different control set, so such registers will never be retimed.

Very very interesting article. Thanks a lot for it.
I would like to share my experience and try to understand if one of you have any comment on something that I could do better.
I have some latency-critical algorithms that I need to implement for Xilinx Virtex Ultrascale+ FPGAs.
My initial idea was to describe the algorithm as a large combinatorial path connected to a N number of register stages at the output, at which N is given by a generic parameter.
Then by implementing the design for different values of N using retiming, I would be able to discover the minimal number of register stages I would need to reach timing closure for each algorithm.
My framework to get it implemented in the FPGA is the following:

In view of reducing I/O timing effects in the analysis, the FPGA top level had one bit input, one bit output and two clocks, one for the DUT logic and one for the wrapper. A shift register was used to generate all the DUT inputs. All DUT outputs were ORed into a single bit.
As I am not interested in retiming the wrapper, I used the BLOCK_SYNTH.RETIMING atribute in the DUT instance at which I wanted to retime.

Using Vivado Synthesis I did not see any significant improvement in terms of register balacing for the critical path.
However using Synplify, I managed to see the number of logic levels and path delays being reduced by half when the first register was added, but no improvements were seen for N > 1.
I also thought of using Mentor Precision, bit even the latest version still does not support retiming for Ultrascale+ series. (Do not understand why).
I am not sure if retiming in my case is being limited by:
1) Some mistake in my methodology or use of tools
2) By the tools itself
3) By retiming bottlenecks related to the algorithm I am investigating.
4) More than one of the above conditions

"Remembering the Great War"
The Vernon Historical Society presents a new exhibit, "Remembering the Great War" timed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I for the United States. The exhibit will open to the public on Saturday June 10th as part of the annual "Open House" sponsored by the Connecticut Office of Tourism.
In this exhibit, visitors will see through photographs, letters and artifacts how our community participated by sending their young men and women off to fight and by working together to support the national war effort. In Rockville, members of the German-American community faced questions about their patriotism as sections of Rockville near the mills were made off-limits to aliens from enemy countries. Near the end of the war, the global influenza pandemic struck Rockville and Vernon. City officials struggled to cope as the numbers of sick and dying overwhelmed community resources.
When the Armistice was declared, Rockville and Vernon celebrated with a parade in November 1918 and later with a "Welcome Home" parade in July 1919. At the time, everyone believed that the First World War would be the "war to end all wars'"
On Saturday, June 10th the Vernon Historical Society will have special Saturday hours of 10am to 4pm. From then on, the exhibit can be viewed during our usual hours: Thursdays from 2pm- 4pm, the second and fourth Sundays of each month from 2pm to 4pm, and by appointment. Admission to the exhibit is free and open to the public. The Historical Society and Museum are located at 734 Hartford Turnpike, Vernon.
"Then and Now" Pictures on Display
A new set of "Then and Now: Photographs of Our Town- Past and Present", has been added to the exhibit that shows the changes to Vernon and Rockville over time. The photographs can be viewed at the Vernon Collector of Revenue Office on Park Street in the Rockville section of Vernon. Assembled by VHS researchers, Carolyn Blouin and James Ashe, the exhibit features sets of historical and contemporary photos. Each set focuses on a location in town and includes photos of a mill, a school and a church. Seen together the photographs illustrate how the place has changed over time. Mr. Ashe and Mrs. Blouin selected historic photographs and vintage postcards from the VHS collection. Then they took contemporary photographs of the same site, trying to match the angle from which the original photograph was taken.
The exhibit in the Tax Office is the fourth in a series that will illuminate the changes that time and development have brought to our town.
The exhibit can be viewed in the Collector of Revenue department on the first floor in the Town Hall Annex which is open Monday thru Wednesday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, Thursday 8:30am to 7pm and Friday from 8:30am to 1:30pm.

Package-Specific Context Entries
This example outlines how to create package-specific context entries.
The Context Panel provides easy clickable access to many commands in Maple. In Maple's user interface, when your cursor is on either input or output for 2-D math expressions (or output from 1-D math expressions), context-sensitive operations can be found in the Context Panel on the right side of the screen.
In order to make sure that as many people as possible can access commands in your package, it is important to consider adding one or more of your commands to the context-sensitive infrastructure. The following example will show you how that's possible.
First, start with a package that you have authored.
Here is a quick example of a package module that has three exports:
squared: a procedure that takes an integer and squares it
cubed: a procedure that takes an integer and cubes it
parsestring: a procedure that takes a string and attempts to parse it
Here is the output of the package exports.
Adding Context Panel Entries
There are several important parts of building individual entries for the context panel.
Most importantly, you want to know:
WHAT to call the entry; the label to show in the context panel
WHICH command you want to use; the command to apply when the label is clicked
WHEN to show the entry; under what type conditions the option is shown
HOW you will help the user use it; the tooltip to help describe what the command does
The command to add an entry to the current context-sensitive infrastructure is called ContextMenu:-CurrentContext:-Entries:-Add.
Here is a short example of using the command where you add an entry to the context panel that negates a boolean value:
"Negate", _TAG_ to show
"not %EXPR", _TAG_ to apply
boolean, _TAG_ conditions
'helpstring'="Negate the expression"): _TAG_ to show
Try clicking on the output below and using the "Negate" option from the context panel.
Using "Negate" gives the following:
The most important part of specifying a context panel entry is determining WHEN to show it. Typically, you should try to show context-sensitive entries whenever Maple detects input that is of the same type as is expected for your routines. For example, the above module expects type integer for the procedures squared and cubed, and type string for the procedure parsestring.
Here is another example using the module above. In this example, you will add a new entry called "Square" that is shown for an integer input.
"Square", _TAG_ to show
":-MyPackage:-squared(%EXPR)", _TAG_ to apply
integer, _TAG_ conditions
'helpstring'="Square the expression"): _TAG_ to show
Click on the output below, then use the "Square" option from the context panel.
Using "Square" gives the following:
Since the example for cubed will be similar to squared, you can skip that and do one more example for the parsestring procedure.
"Parse string", _TAG_ to show
":-MyPackage:-parsestring(%EXPR)", _TAG_ to apply
string, _TAG_ conditions
'helpstring'="Parse the string"): _TAG_ to show
Adding Context Panel Entries to a Package
Next, add the entries for each of the procedures created above to the code for the package module. For a package implemented as a module, new and relevant context-sensitive entries can be created inside the module's ModuleLoad export; this will cause the new context panel entries to be automatically created upon the first invocation or use of the package.
Before adding the entries for the procedures to the package module, make a copy of the current context panel. You can now freely customize the copied panel.
Note: The added entries will not be visible in the Maple context panel until you execute the Install command.
pCM := ContextMenu:-CurrentContext:-Copy():
Queries can be useful while determining when to show your context-sensitive items. New context panel entries can be configured so as to only appear under specific circumstances - such as when the package is loaded (using with).
Add a query to test if your package is loaded or not:
"Is MyPackage Loaded",
member( ':-MyPackage', packages() );
The AddMultiple command adds multiple entries in one call:
'helpstring'="Square the expression" ],
'helpstring'="Cube the expression" ],
[ "Parse string",
'helpstring'="Parse the string"],
'submenu'=["MyPackage"], _TAG_ a sub-folder for MyPackage
'active'="Is MyPackage Loaded"); _TAG_ active option tests whether some condition is met( i.e. if "Is MyPackage loaded"? );
The Install command adds the entries to the context panel:
Next, load the package to activate the entries:
Finally, you can put this together in the original procedure, creating a package that contains its own context-sensitive panel code. In order for the context-sensitive code to be available when a package is run, it is required that the code for the actions are added to the ModuleLoad section of the module. If a ModuleLoad local or export is present, then this procedure is called when the module is read from the Maple repository in which it is located (in the code below, this is done manually by calling ModuleLoad() ).
When MyPackage is loaded, the ModuleLoad section is initialized, making the commands available in the context-sensitive system.
Thus, clicking on 3 now shows a submenu for "MyPackage" as well as several available commands.

St. Paul, Minnesota-Introduction:
Anika Bowie, a 31-year-old entrepreneur, drives through her community, witnessing the aftermath—buildings burned, reduced to rubble.
This daily reminder of racial injustice and the pressing issue of affordable housing fueled Bowie's determination to make a difference.
Now, in a groundbreaking moment for the city, St. Paul has elected its first all-woman city council, a majority of whom are people of color.
This transformative shift holds the promise of breaking down barriers and amplifying the voices of those who have felt unheard.
Building a Representative Council:
Anika Bowie, newly elected to represent Ward 1, expressed her satisfaction with the historic election, emphasizing the reward that follows relentless hard work.
As she envisions breaking down barriers, Bowie recognizes the opportunity to give a voice to those who have faced challenges and felt marginalized in their own city.
Her commitment to tangible change reflects a collective enthusiasm among the newly elected council members to address the pressing issues affecting St. Paul.
Councilwoman-elect Hwa Jeong Kim, who will represent Ward 5, attributes the election success to the diverse experiences of the candidates.
Kim, also the executive director of a nonprofit promoting civic engagement, sees the victory as an endorsement of a shared vision, values, and the necessary skill set to lead the city toward a bold future.
Importantly, the election of women of color resonates with the diverse demographic makeup of St. Paul, reflecting the city's commitment to representation.
Diversity Reflecting Reality:
Minnesota's capital city boasts a demographic mosaic, with approximately 55% White residents, 19% Asian residents, 16% Black residents, and nearly 9% Hispanic residents, according to the US Census estimates from July 2022.
The newly elected council members mirror this diversity, offering a promising prospect for more inclusive governance.
Kim, as a Korean American, is particularly encouraged that the council will now be more representative of the city's residents, embracing a variety of perspectives and backgrounds.
Addressing Local Concerns:
In Ward 3, newly elected councilwoman Saura Jost, an Indian American civil engineer, brings a professional background that aligns with the pressing needs of her constituents.
Infrastructure is a top concern among residents, and Jost believes that having individuals with expertise, especially civil engineers, in public office is crucial to addressing these challenges.
Her goal is to leverage her skills to contribute solutions to issues such as road maintenance, reflecting the practical approach the new council hopes to bring to governance.
Before the recent elections of Cheniqua Johnson and Anika Bowie, records indicate that only one other Black woman had served on the St. Paul city council.
Cheniqua Johnson, who now represents Ward 7, brings a wealth of experience from her previous roles in local government and as a congressional staffer.
Her focus is on amplifying multiple voices and diversifying the narrative at City Hall, challenging the predominant voices that have dominated the last decade.
Cheniqua Johnson sees this historic moment as an inspiration for others sitting on the fence about running for office.
Her message is clear: "We need more people doing this work."
Johnson's passion for representation and inclusivity underscores the broader commitment of the newly elected council to motivate others to engage in the democratic process and contribute to positive change in their communities.
As St. Paul, Minnesota, prepares for its first-ever all-woman city council, the anticipation for change and progress is palpable. The diverse backgrounds, experiences, and expertise of the newly elected council members signal a shift towards a more inclusive and representative governance.
With a focus on addressing local concerns, breaking down barriers, and inspiring others to participate in civic leadership, St. Paul is poised for a transformative era under the leadership of these dynamic women.
Come January 2024, when the new city council is sworn in, the eyes of the city and the nation will be on St. Paul as it embarks on this historic journey towards a more equitable and diverse future.

On sale! But does inexpensive mean cheap?
Posted By Amy Wolf-Vanderbilt On November 27, 2012 @ 10:32 am In Society & Culture | No Comments
VANDERBILT (US) — The holidays usher in the biggest shopping season of the year, but sellers need to beware: sale prices can mean different things to different consumers.
New research shows that consumers often make inferences to fill in gaps in knowledge when they don't have complete information regarding products. To some, price denotes quality. For others, a low price means a good value.
New research by Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management professor Steve Posavac and his co-authors finds that in some consumers' minds, price denotes quality. For others, low price leads a consumer to believe he or she is getting a good value.
"The bottom line of our research is that people can hold two opposing beliefs about a product. In the case of price, most people simultaneously believe that low prices mean good value and that low prices mean low quality. But these two beliefs are not equally present in consumers' minds all the time," says Steve Posavac, professor in marketing at Vanderbilt University.
Published in a forthcoming Journal of Consumer Research, the study finds that consumers use a series of theories when considering value and price. And how they size up a possible purchase depends on what's on their mind when they're thinking about a given product.
"Consumers rarely have complete information and use various strategies to fill the gaps in their knowledge as they consider and choose products. One of these strategies involves using naive theories: informal, common sense, explanations that consumers use to make sense of their environment," write Posavac and his co-authors Hélène Deval, Susan P. Mantel, and Frank R. Kardes.
For example, consumers may believe that popular products that are well advertised are high in quality while also believing that scarce or rarely heard of products are high in quality.
Price vs. quality
The researchers conducted eight experiments that tested marketing techniques that leaned toward price or quality. In one experiment, consumers were shown an ad for a bottle of wine with either a high or low price. When subtly reminded of quality, consumers evaluated the expensive wine more favorably than the cheap wine. However, when subtly reminded of value, they rated the cheap wine more favorably.
When marketing backfires
Sales promotions succeed when consumers perceive that they are getting a good deal, but they can also backfire if consumers perceive that lower prices indicate poor quality. Posavac uses department store J.C. Penney as an example.
"A company may implement an everyday low-pricing strategy that manages to reduce brand value and alienate consumers if many of them believe that low prices equal low quality. Over the years, J.C. Penney customers had become so used to sales that they no longer believed they were getting a good deal," says Posavac.
Because consumers use multiple "naïve theories" when analyzing a product, a company's subtle marketing tactics toward price or quality may attract one consumer while easily turning another consumer off.
"[Companies] design a strategy by assuming that a certain naive theory is going to drive consumer evaluation and choice when, in fact, several naive theories are available to the consumer," the authors conclude.

Flag of Amsterdam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The flag of Amsterdam.
Flying flag of Amsterdam.
The flag of Amsterdam is the official flag for Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands. The current design of the flag depicts three Saint Andrew's Crosses and is based on the escutcheon in the coat of arms of Amsterdam. The flag was adopted on February 5, 1975.[1]
Flag expert Roman Mars declared it during a TED Talk in 2015 to be the most "badass" city flag in the world, as well as an example to others. He particularly praised the simplicity and popular appeal that led to its widespread use.[2]
The colors of the flag are derived primarily from the coat of arms of the city of Amsterdam, or rather from the shield in it. Their meaning is unclear. According to the city government, its origin could go back to the coat of arms of the Persijn family, which once owned a large tract of land in the capital. These colors as well as the crosses are to be seen in the flags of both Ouder-Amstel and Amstelveen.
The popular legend that the three Saint Andrew's crosses were meant to ward off fire, floods and the black plague is unfounded as the use of three St. Andrews crosses by noble families in the area precedes the arrival of the Black Death in Europe.
In the coats of arms of two other Dutch cities, Dordrecht and Delft, the middle stripe symbolises water. In regards to Amsterdam, this black strip becomes the River Amstel.
AFC Ajax, an Amsterdam-based football team who plays in the Dutch Eredivisie, uses the Amsterdam flag as their captain's armband.

(SOURCE: University of California, San Diego, news release, Oct. 15, 2012)
TUESDAY, Oct. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Powerful people try not to mimic the facial expressions of other powerful people, according to a new study.
That means they would be less likely to return the smile of another high-status person. On the other hand, researchers from the University of California, San Diego, noted that powerless people mirror anyone's smile.
"Mimicry has been shown to help build relationships, and both power and status seem to affect how we unconsciously employ this strategy," graduate student Evan Carr said in a university news release. "These findings may speak to how social hierarchies often form under the radar quickly, efficiently and without awareness."
In conducting the study, researchers asked 55 people to write briefly about an event that would induce feelings of power or powerlessness. Afterwards, the participants watched happy videos as well as angry videos of powerful people (doctors, for example) or those with lower social standing (e.g., fast-food workers).
As the people watched the videos, the facial muscles they used to smile or frown were measured.
The study revealed that all of the participants tended to mimic the frowns of powerful people more often than they did for people of lower status.
The researchers also found that powerful people were more likely to smile back at a lower-status person than another powerful or high-status person. Powerless people, however, smiled more at everyone.
The study was scheduled for presentation Monday at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in New Orleans.
Data and conclusions presented at meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

'Kingdom of Plants - A Journey through their Evolution' accompanies the stunning new Sky series filmed at Kew Gardens. Explore the wonders of the botanical world with this beautifully illustrated hardback book.
In the last 500 million years, plants have undertaken an epic journey that has not only spanned the ages but has altered the very make-up of the planet. It was a journey that began in a dark and barren world, and has culminated in a planet that is draped in rich colours, and overflowing with a diversity of mystifying orchids, exploding seed pods and snapping carnivorous plants. But plants are far more than just beautiful and bizarre.
Through the chapters of this book we uncover how plants first began to live on land, how they have become linked with a multitude of animal and fungi partners, and how ultimately they have shaped both landscapes and cultures.

Yemen: Homeless families in Taiz
0 13
Many of the displaced people in the city of Taiz western Yemen, are recently homeless in bitter situations, as a result of the destruction of their homes by the ongoing civil war in Yemen in the absence of appeals to claim securing housing for them.
During the recent times a lot of displaced families started to take the streets of Taiz western Yemen as homes for them after the destruction of their homes due to the ongoing civil war in the country.
In this corner of Jamal street in Taiz governorate, western Yemen, Um Riham lives with her two daughters on cartons, so the street tells a story of the homelessness in Taiz by asking people about their daily bread, and their two daughters.
Many of the displaced heade to build a cattege of cartons and cloth to shield them from the summer's heat and the winter's cold, hoping to stabilize their lives.
It is worth to mention that the civil war in Yemen has caused the displacement of hundreds of families as a result of the destruction of homes and buildings.

A bipartite graph is a graph $G = (V, E)$ whose vertices can be partitioned into two sets ($V = V_1 \cup V_2$
and $V_1 \cap V_2 = \emptyset$) such that there are no edges between vertices in the same set (for instance, if
$u, v \in V_1$, then there is no edge between $u$ and $v$).
There are many other ways to formulate this property. For instance, an undirected graph
is bipartite if and only if it can be colored with just two colors. Another one: an undirected graph is
bipartite if and only if it contains no cycles of odd length.

This paper is the result of the hydrogeological survey engineering.
[Objective] As the second largest tributary of the Yellow River, Fenhe River is the largest river in Shanxi Province. However, there is contradiction between the supply and demand of water resources in the basin. The analysis of water resources utilization and ecoenvironment problem is precondition of ecological remediation.
[Methods]Based on the analysis of water resources characteristics of the Fenhe River Basin and its utilization, this paper systematically summarizes the ecological and environmental problems of the Fenhe River watershed, such as attenuation of runoff, drying up of karst spring and deterioration in water quality.
[Results]Our result shows that the average amount of water resources in the Fenhe River Basin for multi-year average is 3.359 billion m3, groundwater resources are the main component of the total water resources, which is accounting for 72%. The structure of water supply of water resources has changed greatly due to the impact of comprehensive treatment measures in the Fen River Basin since 2005, such as cross-basin water transfer and groundwater pressure extraction. The water supply ratio of surface water has increased from 30% to 55%, and the water supply ratio of groundwater has been reduced from 62% to 37%. Overall, the utilization of water resources in the Fenhe River Basin is as high as 80%. Excessive exploitation of water resources has caused serious eco-environmental problems such as the cut-off of Fen River, the significant decline in the runoff of the Fen River into the Yellow River and the decline of karst spring flow. The percentage of runoff for Fenhe River enter the Yellow River has attenuated by 63.5% from 1955 to 2018. The main reasons for the attenuation are the decrease in precipitation and the flow attenuation of the karst spring. The total flow of the 8 large karst springs in the Fenhe River Basin has decreased by 69% from 1956 to 2018, and 50% of the large karst springs had dried up in different periods; The water quality of karst springs has been deteriorating seriously, for example, the TSD and SO42- of Jinci Spring and Longzici Spring have been increasing year by year. Coal mining is the main reason for the rapid increase of SO42- in karst springs.
[Conclusions]Although the inter-basin water transfer project construction has improve some of the eco-environment in the Fenhe River, such as the recovery of Fenhe River to perennial river, and the stopped falling of groundwater level in the basin, and the improvement of the quality of surface water environment, there is serious unbalance between supply and demand for water resources in Fenhe River Basin, finally the trend of deterioration of the ecological environment is still severe.
Highlights: The characteristics of water resources and the change of water supply structure in Fen River basin in recent are analyzed in the past 15 years; The eco-environment problem of Fenhe River is summarized and their causes are discussed.

TN-ZSTAD: Transferable Network for Zero-Shot Temporal Activity Detection
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence（2023）
引用 26|浏览101
暂无评分
摘要
An integral part of video analysis and surveillance is temporal activity detection, which means to simultaneously recognize and localize activities in long untrimmed videos. Currently, the most effective methods of temporal activity detection are based on deep learning, and they typically perform very well with large scale annotated videos for training. However, these methods are limited in real applications due to the unavailable videos about certain activity classes and the time-consuming data annotation. To solve this challenging problem, we propose a novel task setting called zero-shot temporal activity detection (ZSTAD), where activities that have never been seen in training still need to be detected. We design an end-to-end deep transferable network TN-ZSTAD as the architecture for this solution. On the one hand, this network utilizes an activity graph transformer to predict a set of activity instances that appear in the video, rather than produces many activity proposals in advance. On the other hand, this network captures the common semantics of seen and unseen activities from their corresponding label embeddings, and it is optimized with an innovative loss function that considers the classification property on seen activities and the transfer property on unseen activities together. Experiments on the THUMOS'14, Charades, and ActivityNet datasets show promising performance in terms of detecting unseen activities.

Chinese Flagship Program 中文领航
Photograph: Allie Surina
Student Profile--Allie Surina
1. What is your degree and major?
Bachelor of Arts: Mathematics/Economics double major
2. Why did you choose to study Chinese?
I chose to learn Chinese so that I can work directly with Chinese researchers to study economic development in China's urban centers.
3. What specifically led you to choose the Flagship Program?
I chose the Flagship Program because the instruction pace and content are suited for people who need to use the language in the working world, rather than for people who want to learn about the culture as an end goal. Additionally, the program coordinators are embedding my language learning within my personal career framework so that every Flagship-related opportunity moves me closer to my larger goals.
4. What are the most rewarding things about flagship?
The most rewarding things about Flagship are marking progress through each language level, and building a core group of friendships through the intensive classroom atmosphere.
5. How has your Flagship Program set you apart from other students? What advantages has the program given you?
When professors and other students hear about the goals and details of the Flagship Program, they usually are surprised that such a forward-thinking program exists, and that there are students willing to sign up for the challenge. I have earned a lot of respect from professors who think that Chinese is mostly "unlearnable" for Americans. Through the Flagship Program I have traveled to China twice and am able to network with Chinese people in my own community at home. Between some cultures there are old walls that are difficult to cross. With China and the United States, the culture, history and language of China is that wall. Learning Chinese has given me an opportunity to understand and learn from a culture that was previously a mystery to myself, and my community.
6. How has The Language Flagship helped you to discover your role in the world?
Representing the Language Flagship has given me an opportunity to serve as a culture-translator between the United States and China. I find that people at my school and in my community often ask me questions about the future of China and how things are on the ground there. I enjoy helping people to understand the Chinese point of view in the context of American culture, and I now hope to serve the United States government in some capacity with my research.
7. What are your career goals?
I plan to go to graduate school to study development, governance and public choice. I hope to be a professor in a research university with strong ties to Asian economic development, and would like to work in conjunction with agencies such as the World Bank or the Brookings Institution.

Anticipatory Anxiety Automatic Thought Record Worksheet
Worksheet updated on May 11th, 2018
Anticipatory anxiety is a struggle for many people. Often we see things like catastrophizing when people experience anxiety about upcoming events. When it comes to anticipatory anxiety the thought of the worst case scenario is enough to have a patient be overcome with worry, which will sometimes affect performance and their mental and emotional health. That's why it is important for a patient who has a tendency to catastrophize or experience anticipatory anxiety to be able to rationalize their expectations with the evidence they know to be true.
About This Worksheet
This ATR walks patients through their worries and brings to light their active catastrophizing tendencies. This worksheet serves as great practice for breaking down cognitive distortions, anxiety reactions, and triggers. It also helps the patient see and understand how their anxiety affects how they make expectations about the future.
It first asks the patient to identify the worry, rate the worry on a scale to one to 10, and identify what triggered the worry. It then has the patient list the evidence to support and not support the expectation for the most adverse outcome. Finally, after working through the worry with a logical break down of what the patient already knows, the patient is asked for the most likely outcome and asked to re-score their anxiety.

The Difference Between Acceptance and Agreement
The easiest and perhaps the most concrete way to incorporate Improv Theater techniques into daily living is by understanding and adopting the concept of YES…AND. For improvisers, YES…AND serves the same purpose as the North Star does for sailors: that of a guiding light and a way to keep moving forward, even though the outcome of the journey is uncertain.
The fundamental Improv principal is that there is a difference between ACCEPTANCE and AGREEMENT. It trains us to take what we are given and build on it. Brought into our everyday lives, the concept of YES…AND allows us to deal with things as they are, not as we wish they were. We may not agree with what is said or done, but we need to accept it because that is reality. Because of YES…AND, improvisers never seem stuck or off-balance. They don't spend time judging what they've been given or evaluating their response. They simply ACCEPT what they are given and ACT on it. In other words, improvisers understand the distinction between ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and APPROVAL.
IMPROV TECHNIQUE TO PRACTICE: Pay attention to all the times YES…BUT is used by you and by others around you. Develop the habit of substituting YES…AND wherever and whenever you can
HERE'S WHY IT WORKS: By training yourself to substitute YES…AND for the more common, and almost reflexive, YES…BUT, you can transform any relationship from a zero-sum game, where someone has to be right and another has to be wrong, into a dialogue where complementary, different and even opposing opinions can co-exist. You become better able to co-create with others who are allies. You also become adept at staying in dialogue with someone you disagree with. This gives you a better shot at a mutually satisfactory outcome whenever you are in communication with someone else.
Instructions can be found on p.115 of my book, "Playing Along: 37 Group Learning Activities Borrowed From Improvisational Theatre".
Thanks for playing along! Stay well and mirthful.

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. 6 Pin Din Plug Pinout Wiring Diagram. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. 6 Pin Din Plug Pinout Wiring Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.

SAN FRANCISCO—A lesson plan for the San Francisco Unified School District has been proposed to teachers to help navigate classroom discussions about president-elect Donald Trump. The opening letter to teachers describes Trump as a racist, sexist man that won the election by "pandering to a huge racist and sexist base." The plan was initially written by a SF teacher after the election to help teachers to answer questions of their students following the election results. It has since been sent via email to more than 6,000 school district members by the United Educators of San Francisco (UESF).
Fakhra Shah, a social studies teacher at Mission High School wrote the lesson plan at 2:00 a.m. following the election. She indicated that she had no intentions of the lesson plan spreading throughout the city and that it was the teacher's union that was responsible for the distribution.
"We're calling him out," states Shah, "if he's our president, I have the right to hold him accountable and ask him to take a stance that is anti-hate and anti-racist." In the lesson plan, she states that teacher's have the jurisdictions to set their own "norms" and to prohibit their students from "swearing."
Some of the objectives in the lesson plan include:
- Students expressing their personal experiences with discrimination
- A deeper understanding behind the motivation of Trump supporters
- An American context of racial violence, sexism, etc.
Shah includes resources, lesson plans with sources such as a documentary by Michael Moore, and the focus of creating a learning environment where the youth are not penalized for the way they express themselves in terms of discrimination.
Since the release of this lesson plan, other union members have come forward to express their viewpoints on the matter. Vice President of the Board of Education Shamann Walton is concerned with history repeating itself stating: "In order for us to avoid all of that darkness in all of our too recent history, we cannot sit idly by and pretend that this is not hurtful."
Republicans have revealed antipodal opinions on the matter. Republican National Committee Harmeet Dhillon defined the lesson plan as, "inappropriate propaganda that unfairly demonizes not only the campaign that Donald Trump, the winner, ran, but also all of the people who voted for him."
The UESF posted an explanation of the lesson plan on their website on Friday, November 18 stating: "Following a bitter and divisive presidential campaign, during which our President-elect made a series of racist, sexist, and xenophobic remarks, many of our students have expressed feelings of fear, intimidation, and uncertainty."
In addition to that statement, the UESF also provided support for those who were in favor of Trump writing that students "should be protected from intimidation and fear and their voice should be included in all discussions about the presidential race and the future."
The UESF plans on creating a committee of "rank-and-file educators" to ensure age-appropriate lesson plans synchronously with current events.


Disassemble vs. dissemble
 - Most English speakers can correctly infer from the negative prefix disthat disassemble means the opposite of assemble. Dissemble is trickier because it sort of sounds like it should mean the opposite of assemble, but it actually means (1) to disguise (either oneself or something else) behind a false appearance, or (2) to obscure the truth with showy rhetoric. It's traditionally synonymous with disguise, but it has become a fancy word for lie in 21st-century political contexts.
 Despite their similarity in sound, dissemble and disassemble do not share roots. Assemble comes from the Old French verb assembler, which in turn has roots in the Latin assimulare, meaning to put together. Dissemble comes from the Old French dissembler, whose root sembler means to appear or to seem. So we can think of dissemble as meaning to dis-seem or to un-seem
 Dissemble is frequently used in place of disassemble—for example:
 Near the end of the play the Grandmother dies on stage by dissembling herself — she removes her hearing aid, her false teeth, her eyeglasses, and her heart. [Huffington Post]
 A bucket truck and forklift had to be brought in to dissemble the pyramid. [Fox 31 Denver]
 Burglars dissemble a wall to break into SugarHill Studios. [CultureMap Houston]
 But the word's traditional sense is not dying; examples like these are just as easy to find:
 [The films are] more ambitious than their American counterparts, revisiting painful moments from recent history and trying to drag suppressed or dissembled truths into the light. [New York Times]
 [T]he word is that these are Chinese actors who have been hired to resemble and dissemble North Korean fans. [CBS News]
 Francis Bacon seems noisy but dissembling, notoriously vague about both sources and process in his work. [Scotland on Sunday]
 And for good measure, here are two examples of disassemble used well:
 These fees cover the costs of recycling firms that disassemble the devices and sell the salvaged materials to commodities markets. [Guardian]
 It will sell for about $18,500, disassembled, without windows or furniture. [New York Times]
 1. Thank you! This clarifies a long-standing argument :)
 2. I wonder how many times it is just a typo that gets missed. Like dropping the "i" in trickier.
 3. reardensteel says
 Good word to help you remember: semblance.
 Dissemble means (roughly) to remove the semblance.

The Role of Helicobacter pylori's Fur Protein in the Oxidative Stress Induced by Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic Therapy에 의한 산화적 스트레스 조건에서 Helicobacter pylori의 Fur 단백질의 역할
 - Received : 2011.04.20
 - Accepted : 2011.06.15
 - Published : 2011.06.30
Abstract
The role of the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) of Helicobacter pylori in the oxidative stress was investigated in this study. A fur knockout mutant of H. pylori was constructed by replacing the fur gene with an aphA (kanamycin resistant marker) gene. Photodynamic therapy using methylene blue (MB) and 660 nm light was chosen to induce oxidative stress. The bactericidal effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) was compared between wild type H. pylori and fur knockout mutant H. pylori. The degree of oxidative damage of DNA was confirmed using alkaline gel electrophoresis and an assay of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). In control groups, the number of viable cells was maintained constantly during experiment. After PDT, the mutant H. pylori showed 10,000 times decreased viable cell number compared with wild type H. pylori. Depending on the exposure time of 660 nm light, the 3-fold increase in the concentration of 8-OHdG was observed in mutant H. pylori. The results of this study showed that H. pylori's Fur protein may play a role in oxidative stress induced by PDT.
Helicobacter pylori균의 ferric uptake regulator (Fur) 단백질의 산화적 손상에 대한 역할을 연구하였다. H. pylori균의 fur 유전자를 제거한 돌연변이체를 만들고 wild type H. pylori균과 돌연변이체 균의 산화적 스트레스에 대한 반응을 비교하였다. 산화적 스트레스는 methylene blue와 660 nm 파장의 빛을 이용하는 광역학적 치료방법으로 유도하였다. 산화적 스트레스를 가한 실험조건에서 wt H. pylori와 돌연변이체의 생존력, DNA 손상의 정도를 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 fur 유전자가 제거된 돌연변이체의 생균수가 wt에 비해 10,000배 가량 감소한 것을 알 수 있었으며 DNA의 산화적 손상의 marker인 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)의 양도 fur 유전자 제거된 돌연변이에서 wild type에 비해 3배 정도 더 생성됨을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 실험결과 H. pylori균의 fur 유전자가 PDT법으로 유도한 산화적 스트레스에 방어 기작을 하는 것으로 사료된다.

ANNOUNCING OUR LATEST WORKSHOPS AND MNEMONIC ARTS CLASSES
The Orality Centre is pleased to announce our latest day of workshops teaching participants the technique of constructing their own Memory Palaces. Followed by a separate workshop in the afternoon focused on creating and using Memory Boards.
Our workshops on Memory Palaces have been the most popular workshops so far, and the basic skills taught underpin all known memory techniques.
The memory palace consists of a sequence of locations in which information is stored by linking it to the physical properties of the location. It is the single most effective memory system known, used by all indigenous cultures (such as Australian Aboriginal songlines and Native American pilgrimage trails). They are best known from the orators of the ancient Greeks from Homer to Cicero. All contemporary memory champions use this method.
Paul Allen will teach the method using the example of the countries of the world in population order. The workshop will then adjust to working with participants to encode information of their choice to a unique memory palace of their own. Participants will need to bring their information with them.
The cost of this single workshop is $60. Light refreshments will be supplied.
Memory boards are incredibly effective portable devices, found in various forms right across indigenous cultures, from the songboards and birchbark scrolls of Native Americans to the tjuringa of Australian Aboriginal elders. We will model our memory boards on the well-documented West African lukasa of the Luba people. In its simplest form, the lukasa consists of beads and shells attached to a piece of wood, just the right size to hold comfortably – which we will call a TOC-lukasa. A personal TOC-lukasa is a gorgeous object which is hugely practical as well.
Alice Steel will instruct participants in how to encode information of their choosing and design their memory boards accordingly. Please bring information for any topic with you. We will also have examples of suitable information on offer.
This single workshop costs $65 and includes all materials needed in the creation of your own TOC-lukasa. Light refreshments will be supplied.
The Mnemonic Arts
The Orality Centre is also pleased to announce the first of our newly developed classes in the Mnemonic Arts. These classes, which run over 10 weeks in second term, are designed specifically for Primary or Secondary school children. Each particular set of classes will be directed at the appropriate level of your child's learning and their particular subject of interest, using the Arts as the fundamental memory tool.
For further enquiries, bookings and enrollments please email us at _EMAIL_ with your name, contact details and the particular class or workshop you are interested in attending.
Alternatively you can call Paul Allen on 0404 127 038 or Alice Steel on 0401 441 292
