Here's what's cooking: Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver helps launch cooking class program at Stanford
The program is designed to teach students hands-on cooking skills and educate them about building healthy eating habits.
Jamie Oliver talks about the importance of food education.
Celebrity chef and food activist Jamie Oliver donned a white chef's jacket and joined a group of Stanford students in a cooking class in the teaching kitchen of the Arrillaga Family Dining Commons on Thursday for a lesson in making risotto.
A natural teacher, Oliver advised the students on how to adapt the risotto cooking process to fit one's schedule and how to vary the recipe for seasons: "What's quite nice is in the summer, make a plain white risotto, pan fry some mushrooms to put on top; very light," he told the students, adding that in winter a richer version is "more comfy."
The message behind all of Oliver's advice: Start with nutritious ingredients and savor the cooking experience. It's a message he's been passionate about since his former cooking show The Naked Chef debuted on the Food Network in the 1990s. Since then his cooking shows have been broadcast in more than 100 countries and he has sold more than 36 million cookbooks worldwide.
Oliver's campaign to instill in youth a lifelong love for fresh food and healthy eating habits is a passion shared by Eric Montell, executive director of Residential & Dining Enterprises Stanford Dining, who hosted Oliver's visit to Stanford. The visit was designed, in part, to launch Stanford Dining's Teaching Kitchen @ Stanford cooking class program for Stanford students, which is being created with the support of the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation.
The program, which is expected to launch within the next few months, is designed to teach students hands-on cooking skills, learning from certified teaching chefs using Oliver's recipes and teaching style. "We fundamentally believe in educating students about building healthy eating habits through the use of healthy cooking techniques and sustainable ingredients," Montell said.
For the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation, the program at Stanford is the next step in its effort to educate students of all ages about cooking and eating well. The foundation offers extensive teaching materials for K-12 classes and was instrumental in helping pass a law in Britain that requires secondary schools to teach all students basic cooking skills. But the Stanford program will be the foundation's first foray into working at the university level.
Oliver hopes the classes will help students incorporate healthy cooking and eating habits well into the future. The challenge is to inspire students to incorporate and sustain good eating habits in their busy lives, he said: "We want them to stay passionate about food while they're doing other stuff."
In noting Stanford's long history of developing leaders in many fields, Oliver said it's important that those leaders have a foundation in strong eating habits.
Added Montell: Stanford's 7,000 undergraduate students will consume roughly 200 million meals in their lives. "If you can influence the current students over the life of their meals, you will influence their ability to impact others as well."
In addition to providing meals at dining facilities throughout campus, Stanford Dining supports the university's academic mission of creating living and learning environments for students. Among Stanford Dining's efforts is the Dining Ambassadors program. These paid student positions help build student community in the dining halls by promoting wellness, healthy eating habits and sustainability. Some of the dining ambassadors were on hand for Thursday's risotto cooking experience with Oliver.
The celebrated chef, who turns 40 this year, seemed as interested in hearing from the students as they were eager to learn from him. "What do you want to learn?" he asked. "What do you want to be amazing at in the kitchen?"
Said student Andrew Beckman: "I want to be able to have kale and chard not taste like kale and chard."
Oliver had a ready answer for the aspiring cook: "Dressing and sauces are your best friend."

The average life span for African-Americans in Louisiana today (72.2 years) is shorter than that of Colombians, Vietnamese and Venezuelans. The average life span of an African-American in New Orleans is 69.3 years, nearly as low as life expectancy in North Korea.
African-Americans in Tangipahoa Parish have well-being levels of the average American in the early 1950s.
From the American Human Development Project's "Portrait of Louisiana," released today. More data on the state, like food stamp usage by parish, here.
Hurricane Katrina destroyed cities, jobs and lives. But for some children, the storm may have resulted in an unforeseen upside: better schooling.
A new working paper from Prof. Bruce Sacerdote at Dartmouth University notes that when families fled New Orleans, they were forced to abandon its failing school system. Professor Sacerdote used data on Louisiana students' test scores and college attendance, both before and after the Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, to calculate what effect leaving a failing school district had on academic achievement.
In the first year after the 2005 evacuation, students' standardized test scores fell — which is probably not surprising, given the disruption in their lives. Within a couple years, students originally from Orleans Parish schools saw their scores recover and then eventually surpass their prehurricane levels.
But this was not true for Katrina evacuees from nearby Jefferson and Rita evacuees from Lake Charles. In those areas, where the schools were better than those in New Orleans, the decline in test scores for displaced students persisted into 2007 and started to recover by 2008. Similar results were seen for college enrollment. Evacuated students from New Orleans saw a modest increase in four-year college enrollment, whereas their counterparts from the suburbs initially saw a negative effect on college enrollment (which disappeared within about a year).

Linked – Why so many companies get training wrong
posted in: Links, Training 0 |
Reading Time: 1 minute
Sadly, this is all too true:
"Many programmes don't actually improve skills, says Nanette Miner, founder of the Training Doctor, a company in the US state of South Carolina that designs training programmes. Why? Most are too generic, too basic and too boring, she says.
The misguided one-size-fits-all approach comes from companies training everyone, in every department, in the hope they will feel equipped to try new things, adds Alan Middleton, a marketing professor at Toronto's York University. "There's not enough attention given to what objectives the company wants to accomplish and the current level of knowledge and skill of those who are going to be trained.""
I've seen it far too often, training classes designed to teach "the basics" with the thought that once the students know the basics, they can go back and apply it to their jobs, when it is so much more effective to start at the end.
Start with what do they do and how do they do it, and figure out how to help them accomplish that with the tools you want them trained to use, and allow for discussion of various ways to use features to actually improve the way they work.
Generic classes that focus only on the features and not what the students are doing in their jobs, will always fall into the description above.

CodeIgniter 4 AJAX Tutorial
About Lesson
Creating my account system in CodeIgniter 4 involves several steps, including setting up the database, creating controllers, models, and views, and implementing user registration, login, and logout functionalities. Below is a simple tutorial to guide you through the process. Make sure you have CodeIgniter 4 installed on your server before starting.
Step 1: Database Setup
Create a database and a table to store user information.

Step 2: CodeIgniter Configuration
Make sure your CodeIgniter configuration files are set up correctly, especially the App/Config/Database.php configuration file with the database connection details.

Step 3: Controller
Create a controller for handling user registration, login, and logout. In your app/Controllers/myaccount/MyAccount.php file:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers\myaccount;
use App\Controllers\BaseController;
use App\Models\login\LoginModel;
class MyAccount extends BaseController {
public function __construct() {
$db = db_connect();
$this->session = \Config\Services::session();
$this->login = new LoginModel($db);
$this->ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$this->datetime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
}
public function index() {
$this->myaccount();
}
public function myaccount() {
if($this->session->get('login_status')) {
$data = [];
$data ["result"] = $this->login->getEntry(['id' => $this->session->get('login_id')]);
$data ['content_title'] = 'My Account';
echo view('myaccount/myaccount', $data);
} else {
return redirect()->to(base_url('login'));
}
}
public function update() {
$id = $this->request->getPost('id');
$name = $this->request->getPost('name');
$email = $this->request->getPost('email');
$password = $this->request->getPost('password');
$mobile_number = $this->request->getPost('mobile_number');
$where = [
'email' => $email,
'id !=' => $id,
];
$has_account = $this->login->getEntry($where);
if($has_account) {
$json = [
'status' => false,
'message' => showDangerMessage("Entered email address is already registered"),
];
} else {
if($password) {
$data = [
'name' => $name,
'email' => $email,
'password' => md5($password),
'mobile_number' => $mobile_number,
'ip_address' => $this->ip_address,
];
} else {
$data = [
'name' => $name,
'email' => $email,
'mobile_number' => $mobile_number,
'ip_address' => $this->ip_address,
];
}
$result = $this->login->updateEntry(['id' => $id], $data);
if($result) {
$result = $this->login->getEntry(['id' => $id]);
if($result) {
$data = [
'login_id' => $result->id,
'login_email' => $result->email,
'login_name' => $result->name,
'login_mobile_number' => $result->mobile_number,
'user_status' => $result->status,
'login_status' => TRUE,
];
$this->session->set($data);
}
$json = [
'status' => true,
'message' => showSuccessMessage("Your account has been updated successfully"),
];
} else {
$json = [
'status' => false,
'message' => showDangerMessage("Something went wrong. Please try again!"),
];
}
}
echo json_encode($json);
}
}

Step 4: Views
Create views for user registration and login in the app/Views/myaccount directory
<?php $session = \Config\Services::session();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<title><?php echo $content_title; ?></title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="_URL_

Step 5: Routes
Define the routes in app/Config/Routes.php:
// My Account Routes
$routes->group('myaccount', function($routes) {
$routes->get('/', 'myaccount\MyAccount::index', ['filter' => 'auth']);
$routes->post('update', 'myaccount\MyAccount

Adventures with p2 composites
Earlier this year, we changed the way Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) repository is packaged from a monolithic repository to a composite of many component repositories. We made this change in order to have greater flexibility in how frequently or infrequently we update the various components of the product.
 1. Some of our components change rarely and some don't change at all after the initial release. For instance, there is no point in re-releasing Java EE 7 documentation component with every OEPE release nor is there any point in having a separate copy of this component for every release kept on the download server.
 2. Some of our components are libraries from other products that update on their own schedule. For instance, we need the ability to update Oracle Mobile Application Framework and Oracle Cloud SDKs as new versions become available without orchestrating an entire OEPE release.
When it comes to assembling the composite repository, there are two types of components:
 1. Visible to the user
 2. Available for dependency resolution, but not visible to the user
The components that should be visible to the user are easy to handle. When p2 merges the child repositories listed in the composite repository metadata, it preserves the categorization of features as specified by the child repositories. The effect is a union of visible features.
The components that should be available for dependency resolution, but not visible to the user are harder to handle.
One approach would be to strip the categorization from the component repository and add the component repository to the composite. This is rarely a practical solution as the component repository may be hosted by a third party or there may be a need to retain the utility of being able to offer it separately, which requires features to be visible to the user.
Another approach is to utilize the repository references feature. This is the approach that we settled on, but there are some downsides.
 1. Bug 455422 - Unlike child repositories of a composite, referenced repositories are added to Eclipse repository registry. If you reference many components, the repository registry will bloat very quickly, something that the user is unlikely to appreciate. Further, the user can disable referenced repositories in the registry, interfering with the proper operation of you repository. One partial workaround is to create a separate composite repository for the dependencies and then use a repository reference to point to the dependencies composite. The benefit of this indirection is that you add only one extra repository to the repository registry, regardless of how many repositories you need to reference.
 2. Bug 409734 - Unlike child repositories of a composite, a referenced repository cannot be a relative URL. Depending on your build and release process, you may need to update repository references in various content.xml files when moving repositories around.
This concludes our adventures. Don't forget to tip the guide.

Schema Mapping
Translate data from one schema or structure to another to facilitate data integration.
Schema mapping definition:
Schema mapping is the process of mapping the schema of one dataset to the schema of another dataset in order to integrate or merge them. It involves mapping the fields or attributes of one dataset to the fields or attributes of another dataset, ensuring that the data types, formats, and other properties match between the two datasets. Schema mapping is a crucial step in data integration, as it enables datasets with different schemas to be combined and analyzed together.
Schema mapping example using Python:
Please note that you need to have the necessary Python libraries installed in your Python environment to run this code.
In Python, one way to perform schema mapping is by using the PySpark library. Here's an example:
# Importing the required libraries
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark.sql.functions import col
# Creating a SparkSession
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("Schema Mapping Example").getOrCreate()
# Creating a sample dataframe with multiple columns
data = [("John", 25, "25000.50"), ("Smith", 30, "35000.75"), ("Jane", 28, 32000.25)]
df = spark.createDataFrame(data, ["name", "age", "salary"])
# Defining the mapping schema
mapping_schema = {
 "name": "string",
 "age": "integer",
 "salary": "double"
}
# Creating a new dataframe with the mapped schema
mapped_df = df.select([col(c).cast(mapping_schema[c]).alias(c) for c in mapping_schema.keys()])
# Displaying the original and mapped dataframes
print(f"Original dataframe: {df}")
print(f"Mapped dataframe: {mapped_df}")
# Applying some transformations on the mapped dataframe
filtered_df = mapped_df.filter(mapped_df.age > 25)
grouped_df = filtered_df.groupBy("name").agg({"salary": "sum"})
# Stopping the SparkSession
spark.stop()
This will print out the schema of each dataframe showing the new mapping:
Original dataframe: DataFrame[name: string, age: bigint, salary: string]
Mapped dataframe: DataFrame[name: string, age: int, salary: double]

adds a similar text as a footnote to the C standard document:
78a) If the member used to access the contents of a union object is not the same as the member last used to store a value in the object, the appropriate part of the object representation of the value is reinterpreted as an object representation in the new type as described in 6.2.6 (a process sometimes called "type punning"). This might be a trap representation.
Not sure if it clarifies much though, considering that a footnote is not normative for the standard.

 @LuchianGrigore: UB isn't what standard says is UB, instead it's what the standard doesn't describe how it should work. This is exactly such case. Does the standard describe what happens? Does it say that it's implementation defined? No and no. So it's UB. Moreover, regarding the "members share the same memory address" argument, you'll have to refer to the aliasing rules, which will bring you to UB again. Commented Jul 7, 2012 at 7:52

 @Luchian: It's quite clear what active means, "that is, the value of at most one of the non-static data members can be stored in a union at any time." Commented Jul 7, 2012 at 7:55

 @LuchianGrigore: Yes there are. There is infinite amount of cases that the standard does not (and cannot) address. (C++ is a Turing complete VM so it's incomplete.) So what? It does explain what "active" mean, refer to the above quote, after "that is". Commented Jul 7, 2012 at 7:55

 @LuchianGrigore: Omission of explicit definition of behavior is also unconsidered undefined behavior, according to the definitions section.

I think the closest the standard comes to saying it's undefined behavior is where it defines the behavior for a union containing a common initial sequence (C99, §6.5.2.3/5):
One special guarantee is made in order to simplify the use of unions: if a union contains several structures that share a common initial sequence (see below), and if the union object currently contains one of these structures, it is permitted to inspect the common initial part of any of them anywhere that a declaration of the complete type of the union is visible. Two structures share a common initial sequence if corresponding members have compatible types (and, for bit-fields, the same widths) for a sequence of one or more initial members.
C++11 gives similar requirements/permission at §9.2/19:
If a standard-layout union contains two or more standard-layout structs that share a common initial sequence, and if the standard-layout union object currently contains one of these standard-layout structs, it is permitted to inspect the common initial part of any of them. Two standard-layout structs share a common initial sequence if corresponding members have layout-compatible types and either neither member is a bit-field or both are bit-fields with the same width for a sequence of one or more initial members.
Though neither states it directly, these both carry a strong implication that "inspecting" (reading) a member is "permitted" only if 1) it is (part of) the member most recently written, or 2) is part of a common initial sequence.
That's not a direct statement that doing otherwise is undefined behavior, but it's the closest of which I'm aware.

 - To make this complete, you need to know what "layout-compatible types" are for C++, or "compatible types" are for C. Commented Aug 15, 2012 at 8:32

 @MichaelAnderson: Yes and no. You need to deal with those when/if you want to be certain whether something falls within this exception -- but the real question here is whether something that clearly falls outside the exception truly gives UB. I think that's strongly enough implied here to make the intent clear, but I don't think it's ever directly stated. Commented Aug 15, 2012 at 15:43
 - This "common initial sequence" thing might just have saved 2 or 3 of my projects from the Rewrite Bin. I was livid when I first read about most punning uses of unions being undefined, since I'd been given the impression by a particular blog that this was OK, and built several large structures and projects around it. Now I think I might be OK after all, since my unions do contain classes having the same types at the front Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 13:55
 - @JerryCoffin, I think you were hinting at the same question as me: what if our union contains e.g. a uint8_t and a class Something { uint8_t myByte; [...] }; - I would assume this proviso would also apply here, but it's worded very deliberately to only allow for structs. Luckily I'm already using those instead of raw primitives :O Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 14:04
 - @underscore_d: The C standard at least sort of covers that question: "A pointer to a structure object, suitably converted, points to its initial member (or if that member is a bit-field, then to the unit in which it resides), and vice versa." Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 16:00
12
Something that is not yet mentioned by available answers is the footnote 37 in the paragraph 21 of the section 6.2.5:
Note that aggregate type does not include union type because an object with union type can only contain one member at a time.
This requirement seem to clearly imply that you must not write in a member and read in another one. In this case it might be undefined behavior by lack of specification.
1
 - Many implementations document their storage formats and layout rules. Such a specification would in many cases imply what the effect of reading storage of one type and writing as another would be in the absence of rules saying compilers don't have to actually use their defined storage format except when things are read and written using pointers of a character type.

I well explain this with a example.
assume we have the following union:
union A{
 int x;
 short y[2];
};
I well assume that sizeof(int) gives 4, and that sizeof(short) gives 2.
when you write union A a = {10} that well create a new var of type A in put in it the value 10.
your memory should look like that: (remember that all of the union members get the same location)
 | x |
 | y[0] | y[1] |
 -----------------------------------------
 a-> |0000 0000|0000 0000|0000 0000|0000 1010|
 -----------------------------------------
as you could see, the value of a.x is 10, the value of a.y1 is 10, and the value of a.y[0] is 0.
now, what well happen if I do this?
a.y[0] = 37;
our memory will look like this:
 | x |
 | y[0] | y[1] |
 -----------------------------------------
 a-> |0000 0000|0010 0101|0000 0000|0000 1010|
 -----------------------------------------
this will turn the value of a.x to _PHONE_ (in decimal).
now, if your union has a float, or double, your memory map well be more of a mess, because of the way you store exact numbers. more info you could get in here.

Invented by Ernest H. Wright, liquid smoke is a savory additive that adds a hint of smokiness to foods. Liquid smoke allows nonsmoked foods to have the same flavor as smoke-cured foods, such as ham. Originally produced by collecting the condensed smoke from the top of a stovepipe, you can make your own liquid smoke at home by forcing smoke to condense and then collecting the liquid.
Video of the Day
To condense your own smoke at home, use a smoker or a grill that has a chimney, such as a clay Mexican cooking oven. The type of wood you use will affect the flavor of your smoke, so choose your wood carefully. Frequently used woods include apple, olive, hickory and mesquite. Light charcoal, placing it in the chimney and then cover it with the wood or chips. Soak the chips or wood in water beforehand to ensure a good smoke. Place a Bundt pan on the top of the chimney, and cover it with an upside down metal mixing bowl. Place a bag of ice over the metal bowl. As the smoke rises up the chimney, through the hole in the pan, it will collect in the mixing bowl. The ice cools the mixing bowl, causing condensation to run down the sides of the bowl, into the pan.
Homemade Vs. Store-Bought
Homemade liquid smoke guarantees that there are no chemical additives for color or flavor — manufactured liquid smoke often contains little to no "real" smoke. Homemade liquid smoke also lets you control the flavor of your smoke, as you can choose what type of wood to use. It is also cleaner tasting than store-bought liquid smoke. However, making it yourself is a labor intensive process, and you will often get only a little bit of smoke after several hours.

Love, Money, and Parenting investigates how economic forces shape how parents raise their children. In countries with increasing economic inequality, parents push harder to ensure their children have a path to security and success. In the United States, this force has transformed the hands-off parenting of the 60s and 70s into a frantic, overscheduled activity. Growing inequality has also resulted in an increasing "parenting gap" between richer and poorer families, raising the disturbing prospect of diminished social mobility. Drawing from the experiences of countries of high and low economic inequality, Matthias Doepke and Fabrizio Zilibotti discuss how changes to public policy can contribute to the ideal of equal opportunity for all.

It's a prestigious job for Stoltenberg and Norway, and a challenging one, as he and fellow group members seek ways of financing measures to cut emissions and otherwise try to reverse climate change.
Norway, under Stoltenberg's left-center government, has pledged billions to preserve the world's rain forests, which Stoltenberg sees as the "cheapest" means of reducing harmful emissions. He also has played a leading role in climate change negotiations around the world.
He was appointed to the UN group just this past spring by the UN's secretary general, to mobilize the financing promised for efforts against climate change during the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen last December. Developed countries are charged with raising USD 30 billion by 2012 and USD 100 billion annually from 2020 to fund measures aimed at limiting global warming to an increase of 2 degrees Celsius.
Members of the group include the prime minister of Ethiopia, the president of Guyana, government ministers from around the world including the finance ministers for Mexico and Singapore, and financiers including the vice chairman of Deutsche Bank, the president of the African Development Bank and the director of the US National Economic Council.

Effect of far scatterer clusters in MIMO outdoor channel models
Publikation/Tidskrift/Serie: The 57th IEEE Semiannual Vehicular Technology Conference. VTC 2003-Spring.
We consider the clustering structure of wireless MIMO channels, and the impact that multiple clusters have on the performance of MIMO systems. We show that multiple clusters frequently occur in urban environments. We then proceed to demonstrate that a channel with multiple scatterer clusters behaves differently than a channel with one cluster and the same rms angular spread. The differences are quantified in terms of correlation coefficients, information-theoretic capacity, and interference-suppression capabilities. This demonstrates the necessity of correctly taking into account the clustering structure.

Kinect SDK 1 - The Player Index
Displaying the data
Color mapping
Extracting the player index
Separating the two pieces of information is fairly easy. You can use a logical mask to extract the lower three bits and then use right shifts to normalize the depth data and to get rid of the player index bits.
That is if s is a short value we can extract the player index using:
user index = s & 0x07;
and the depth using
depth = ((ushort) s )>>3;
The x07 is just 111 in binary and it masks out the bottom three bits. You can use
in place of x07 if you want to and
in place of the three in the shift.
If you don't follow the shift expression you need to remember that a short can be a positive or a negative value and you need to shift the bits down using a logical and not an arithmetic shift. To do this you need to cast the value to a (ushort) i.e. unsigned short.
Putting this together we can now start to process the data into something more usable. As a first step let's separate the data into two arrays:
int[] depth = new int[
int[] player = new int[
we need to scan through the short array and extract the data:
player[i] = pixelData[i] &
depth[i] = ((ushort) pixelData[i])>>
Displaying the data - Windows Forms
Bitmap IntToBitmap(int[] array,
int w,int h)
Bitmap bmap = new Bitmap(
BitmapData bmapdata = bmap.LockBits(
new Rectangle(0, 0, w,h),
IntPtr ptr = bmapdata.Scan0;
return bmap;
pictureBox1.Image = IntToBitmap(depth,
pictureBox2.Image = IntToBitmap(player,
But if you do try to view this you will most likely see just a black screen. The reason is that the player index runs from 0 - black to 7, which is a very dark blue in this color mapping.

The objective of this one year research project is to test and measure the energy impact of
capturing excess daytime heat within a greenhouse and transferring it through an air-to-water
exchanger to then store the thermal energy in water. Solar collectors will also be implemented to
boost the heat that is stored. This same system will provide cooling during the day and heating at
night for the greenhouse. The stored heat will be used to help reduce costly energy consumption
that negatively impacts the environment and decreases farm profitability. The design for this
system will be open sourced and the monthly data will be graphed out over the year and shared
on our website and social media. We will also present the findings as an article through the
National Young Farmers Coalition, an organization with over 130,000 young farmers and
Project objectives from proposal:
1. To research the process of capturing daytime air heat of a greenhouse and exchanging and
storing it into water.
2. To research the effects of solar hot water collectors in combination with the heat
exchanger to increase the temperature of water storage.
3. To research the effectiveness of using the stored heat in water as a heat source during the
4. To visualize the system with sensors and data logging technology.

Condition builder - multiple conditions at once
Is there a workaround for having a condition that has both "satisfy all" and "satisfy any" ? i.e
Case 1.
Satisfy any of the following:
state of panel X equals Y
state of panel X equals Y
state of panel X equals Y
state of panel X equals Y
together with
Satisfy all of the following:
state of panel W equals Z
state of panel W equals Z
state of panel W equals Z
state of panel W equals Z
Then:
Hi AntonMircea ,
At the top of the condition builder there's a menu that says "all," but you can change it to "any" to get the OR operator.
Thanks,
Vikram
Hi Anton -
Do you want to test a condition that ANDs together both an AND condition and an OR condition like the following?
if (a equals b [b]AND[/b] c equals d) [b]AND[/b] (e equals f [b]OR[/b] g equals h)
If so, the condition builder doesn't provide any such logical grouping or nesting.
You could accomplish this by breaking it into two different satisfy ALL conditions with an intervening else:
if a equals b and c equals d and e equals f
– code goes here
else if a equals b and c equals d and g equals h
– very same code goes here
Yes, yuck! - but it works.
If you are using global variables or values that can be acquired using temporary variables (in the fx box), you could accomplish the above using Boolean operators:
if value [[ (a == b && c == d) && (e == f || g==h) ]] equals value TRUE
Sometimes you can simplify your logic if you reframe
1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 4
as
NOT (1 OR 2 OR 3 OR 4)
and start there. Example attached.

iPhone Lightning Cable Can Hack Your Mac: How it works and how to protect yourself
A Lightning cable conducts around 12 watts of power, which is more than enough to charge your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
It's also enough to charge a secret transmitter implanted into a fake Lightning cable by hackers.
Meet the O.MG cable, a hacking tool that looks like a usual iPhone charging cable to any unsuspecting victims. The cable is sold freely on the internet for $119.99 and there's no saying how many of them have been purchased by malicious individuals.
Read on to learn what cable hacking is and how to protect yourself from it.
Pro tip: To protect your Mac from hacking, use Clario. The app offers a powerful antivirus and 24/7 data breach monitoring, providing you with instant alerts about the hacking of your accounts and leaked data. Here's how to secure your Mac with Clario:
- Install Clario.
- Run a system scan for malware.
- Set up real-time protection.
Secure your data and privacy right now with Clario's free 7-day trial! No strings attached.
What is the O.MG Lightning cable?
The O.MG Lightning to USB-A cable is a hacking tool almost indistinguishable from the standard cable certified by Apple. Just like real cables, the Lightning-USB hacking device supports power and data transfer. However, unlike legit cables, it can be used for remote access to a victim's device.
In 2019, the O.MG cable was created by a security researcher operating under the alias MG. After presenting the cable at a hacker conference, DEFCON 2019, the researcher started mass manufacturing the cable. These days, multiple versions of the cable are sold online, including Lightning to USB-A and USB-C to USB-A.
In 2021, the security researcher developed the O.MG Keylogger cable. As the name suggests, the cable functions as a covert keylogger hacking instrument. By replacing a detachable keyboard's cable with the O.MG Keylogger, cybercriminals can collect a whopping 650,000 keystrokes to steal login details and other sensitive data.
How does the O.MG Lightning cable work?
The O.MG Lightning cable consists of two connectors and a set of wires covered by insulation, allowing it to operate as a legit cable. However, one of the cable's connectors conceals a memory chip and an 802.11 Wi-Fi transmitter. The transmitter is, essentially, no different from those in your iPhone and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
Once connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, the Hak5 O.MG cable creates a Wi-Fi hotspot. This allows a hacker to remotely access the device and use it as if they were holding it in their hands. For example, the hacker can run Terminal commands on your Mac or rummage through photos on your iPhone. The cable used for the iPhone charger hack also packs geofencing features, allowing cybercriminals to trigger the delivery of a virus payload based on a victim's location.
The Keylogger version of the USB hacking cable can log keystrokes from the hacked device and send them to the hacker located up to a mile away.
How to protect yourself from a cable hacker?
You should take the following steps to ensure that a cable hacker cannot access your passwords or other sensitive data.
Carefully examine your cable
Cables certified by Apple come with the MFi badge on their packaging. The legit cables themselves bear a 12-digit serial number and the following text: Designed by Apple in California Assembled in Country.
Carefully examine your cable's connectors. If you spot an uneven metallic finish, rough edges or varying insulator width, then you are probably dealing with either a counterfeit cable or O.MG cable.
Check for signs of hacking
Look out for these signs of hacking on your Mac:
1. Sudden spikes in the network activity, which can be tracked via Activity Monitor
2. Check for suspicious users in System Preferences > Sharing
3. Hijacked email or social media accounts
4. Unsolicited software installs
5. Terminal opens randomly
6. Unexpected pop-ups requesting your login details
How to protect your Mac from cable hacking
An O.MG cable is designed to look almost indistinguishable from a real cable. Given how difficult it is to determine a hacking cable by just looking at it, make sure your Mac is protected with an anti-malware solution like Clario.
Clario is a lightweight app with a 24/7 data breach monitoring tool and a powerful antivirus to keep your Mac safe from malware whether it's delivered to your computer via O.MG cable or any other way.
Here's how to use Clario to protect your Mac:
1. Install a Clario free trial and create an account
2. Run a quick malware scan
3. Set up real-time protection
4. Activate Data breach monitor
5. Add emails you want to monitor for breaches
That's it, you're all set!
With hacking cables sold freely on the internet, you have to constantly be on the lookout for a data breach. Or you can simply protect your devices with reliable cybersecurity software and leave hackers empty-handed. Stay safe!

A Wind-Tunnel Method for Evaluating the Aerodynamic Noise of Cars 860215
In this paper a test method for measuring the car aerodynamic noise in the Fiat wind tunnel is reported. Through this method measurements of vehicle interior noise in the test section generated by air flow are performed. The separation between interior aerodynamic noise and background noise (fan noise, self generated noise in the tunnel, etc.) is performed by simulation of the last one with loudspeakers without air flow. The present method allows also to separate the shape noise contribution from aspiration wind noise and to localize the most critical acoustical areas into the car. By means of this method it is possible to optimize the car shapes and seals in order to improve the vehicle acoustical comfort.

 1. A link says:
 Any type of algebraic structure on subsets of $S$ that is defined purely in terms of closure properties will be preserved under intersection. Examples are σ-algebras, π-systems, λ-systems, or monotone classes of subsets.
 Note however, this does not apply to semi-algebras, because the semi-algebras is not defined purely in terms of closure properties (the condition on $A^c$ is not a closure property).
 $S$ is said to be a semi-algebra if it is closed under intersection and if complements can be written as finite, disjoint unions:
 - If $A,B∈S$ then $A∩B∈S$.
 - If $A∈S$ then there exists a finite, disjoint collection $\{B_i:i∈I\}⊆S$ such that $A^c=⋃_{i∈I} B_i$.
 In "the condition on $A^c$ is not a closure property",
 - what does "the condition on a set operation such as taking complement is not a closure property" mean?
 - What is the meaning of "closure properties"?
 How do you see the family of semi-algebras (aka semi-rings) of sets isn't closed under intersection?
 2. Michael Greinecker also commented: The family of semi-rings on a set are not closed under intersections.
 BTW, if I am correct, the concept of a semi-algebra of sets is the same as semi-ring of sets in Wikipedia.
Thanks and regards!

The family of all bounded intervals is a semi-ring on $\mathbb{R}$ but not a semi-algebra (since the complement is unbounded and hence not a finite union of bounded sets). – Michael Greinecker Jan 6 '13 at 0:47

Closure properties can be formulated in terms of concepts from universal algebra. Let $X$ be the underlying set (in our examples, $X$ is a famly of sets itself). Let $I$ be an index set, $(\kappa_i)_{i\in I}$ be a family of cardinal numbers and $(f_i)_{i\in I}$ a family of function satisfying $f_i:X^{\kappa_i}\to X$ for all $i$. We say that $C\subseteq X$ is closed under $(f_i)_{i\in I}$ if we have for all $i\in I$ that $f_i(x)\in C$ for all $x\in C^{\kappa_i}$. One can show that the family of sets closed under $(f_i)_{i\in I}$ forms a Moore collection.
Let's look an an example: Let $U$ be a set and $X\subseteq 2^U$. We let $I=\{s,c,u\}$, $\kappa_s=0$, $\kappa_c=1$, and $\kappa_u=\omega$. We identify constants and nullary functions, so we can let $f_s=U$. We let $f_c(A)=A^C$ for all $A\in X$, and we let $f_u(A_0,A_1,\ldots)=\bigcup_n A_n$. That $X$ is closed under these three functions means simply that it contains $X$, is closed under complements and countable unionsit is a $\sigma$-algebra.
Now, one cannot write down semi-algebras this way, since there is no unique decomposition of the complement into disjoint sets. If $\mathcal{S}$ is a semi-algebra and $A\in\mathcal{S}$, then there exists a number $n$ and sets $B_1,\ldots,B_n\in\mathcal{S}$ that are disjoint and such that $A_c=B_1\cup\ldots\cup B_n$. Now if there exists a unique such family and if this family only depended on $A$, we could write down this property as closure under some functions in the following way: We let $f_{c_1}=B_1,\ldots, f_{c_n}=B_n$, and for $m>n$ we let $f_{c_m}=f_{c_n}$. We use the last condition because we have no a priori bound on how many sets are needed. But these sets are not a function of $A$, so this property can not be viewed as a closure property.
Here is an explicit example (taken from Alprantis & Border) that shows that the intersection of sem-algebras might fail to be a semi-algebra: Let $X=\{0,1,2\}$, $\mathcal{S}_1=\big\{\emptyset, X,\{0\},\{1\},\{2\}\big\}$, $\mathcal{S}_2=\big\{\emptyset, X,\{0\},\{1,2\}\big\}$, and $A=\{0\}$. We have $\mathcal{S}_1\cap\mathcal{S}_2=\big\{X,\emptyset,\{0\}\big\}$, and $A^C=\{0\}^C=\{1,2\}$ is not the disjoint union of elements of this intersection.

Thanks! (1) How is $C\subseteq X$ closed under $(f_i: X^{\kappa_i} \to X)_{i \in I}$ related to the example for semi-algebras? (2) For semi-algebras, why do "there do no unique decomposition of the complement into disjoint sets (even then, one would need a hack)" and "a function can have only one value" matter? What is "a function"? – Tim Jan 6 '13 at 14:33

Hyperreal numbers
Construction of the hyperreals
There's different ways to construct the hyperreals, but the simplest one (that doesn't involve extending the ZFC axiom set) is done by using sequences of real numbers.
\begin{equation} ^* \mathbb{R} = \mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N}} / \sim \end{equation}
A hyperreal number is an equivalence class of real sequences. The equivalence relation involves ultrafilters
An ultrafilter $F$ is a subset of a partially ordered set $(P, \leq)$ such that
 - $F \neq \varnothing$
Ultrafilters aren't actually constructible, but for the most part this won't be necessary. The main issue will be for sequences of the type
\begin{equation} (0,1,0,1,0,1,...) \end{equation}
which have an infinite number of more than one value, and no clear pattern. Depending on the ultrafilter used, this sequence will have the value of either $0$ or $1$.
Our equivalence relation is the following : two sequences $a,b$ are equivalent (noted $a \sim_F b$) if
\begin{equation} \{ i \in \mathbb{N} | a_i = b_i \} \in F \end{equation}
Therefore, as a set, the hyperreals are simply $\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N}} / \sim_F$
Operations on hyperreal numbers are performed term by term in the sequences, that is,
\begin{equation} a + b = (a_1 + b_1, a_2 + b_2, a_3 + b_3, ...) \end{equation}
And the same goes for all other operations.
$$a - b = (a_1 - b_1, a_2 - b_2, a_3 - b_3, ...)$$ $$a * b = (a_1 * b_1, a_2 * b_2, a_3 * b_3, ...)$$
Subsets of the hyperreal numbers
Hyperreal numbers can be divided in three main subsets
The canonical example of an infinitesimal number is the sequence $x_n = n^{-1}$. As it is strictly decreasing to $0$, it is easy to prove that for any strictly positive real number $y$, we have
$$\forall y > 0. \exists N.\ \forall n > N.\ |x_n| < y_n$$
But since the sequence is never $0$, it will always be superior to the sequence $y_n = 0$.
Conversely, the canonical infinite number is the sequence $x_n = n$, which

Following entry into force of patent law amendments, the Serbian IPO introduced an Executive Order regulating the patent application filing procedure in more detail.
The Order, which entered into force on November 9, 2019, elaborates on certain amendments to provide for their implementation. The most significant changes brought by the Order are the following:
When filing a patent or petty patent application in electronic form, the attachments submitted along with the application will be considered as original documents due to the use of a qualified electronic signature. Most significantly, this means that it is no longer required to submit an original Power of Attorney in paper form after applying electronically. An original Power of Attorney is still required for applications filed in paper form, therefore the procedure for traditional applications remains unchanged.
The Serbian IPO will keep a Patent Register and a Petty Patent Register in electronic form only. Patent and petty patent registers in paper form no longer exist, while the registers of patent and petty patent applications have been abolished altogether.

This is a practical question that was asked on a correspondence chess site. The site struggles with chess engine users, who are considered cheaters. The method people use to determine whether someone is a cheater is this. Take a large enough number $x$ of games the person has played; analyze them with an engine (starting from the point where the game leaves online chess databases, whose use is allowed) and find the average match-up rates, for example:
 - 1st choice - 50% match-up rate,
 - 2nd choice - 65% match-up rate,
 - 3rd choice - 80% match-up rate,
where the first number is the ratio $$\frac{\text{the number of analyzed moves that are considered best by the engine}}{\text{the number of analyzed moves}},$$
the second number is the ratio $$\frac{\text{the number of analyzed moves that are considered best or second best by the engine}}{\text{the number of analyzed moves}},$$
and the third number is found in a similar way.
The question is how large $x$ must be in order for these numbers to approximate the overall match-up rates well.
I think the right way to ask this question more precisely is to fix a small error $\varepsilon$ and a small probability $p$, and ask how large $x$ must be for the probability of the actual error exceeding $\varepsilon$ to be less than $p$.
I did do a course in statistics, but I remember almost nothing of it. Could you help me with this?
share|improve this question
Your question is not entirely clear. Is it correct that "analyzed moves" refers only to moves that the suspected cheater has actually played, while "considered best by the engine" means the unique move found best by the engine among the options at that point in play? So as an extreme case, if the cheater just was using the engine blindly, the first number would be 100% (and the other a fortiori also). The idea is that if a player is doing very well (by the engine's standards), then it must be a cheater. At least in cycling this appears to be fairly sound reasoning. – Marc van Leeuwen Nov 16 '12 at 14:32
Don't you get into trouble when there is a long sequence of exchanges? Then every move is obvious to a human and computer: would they be flagged as cheaters? – Fixee Nov 16 '12 at 15:09

Binomial or multinomial models will not work well in practise here, and you need to do some serious empirical work to get good tests for detecting cheaters. The problem is that chess players do not have fixed probabilities for choosing the computer's recommendations. In particular, if the computer considers one move to be much stronger than all other alternatives, then it is much more likely that a human player will arrive at the same conclusion.
Ken Regan at the University of Buffalo has done some serious work on this question, which you can read about on his home page.

Navigating Air Travel in Spain: Understanding Rules and Consequences
Air travel requires adherence to strict regulations to ensure safety and order onboard. Recent incidents of disruptive behavior by passengers highlight the importance of following airline rules and the severe penalties for non-compliance.
Instances of unruly passengers disregarding basic rules, such as no smoking or proper mobile phone usage, have led to fines and legal consequences. The State Air Safety Agency in Spain (AESA) enforces civil aviation regulations, reminding passengers that inappropriate behavior during flights can result in fines up to €5,000. These penalties may increase if the behavior necessitates a flight diversion.
The Air Safety Law of 2003 outlines passenger obligations to comply with rules both onboard and in airport facilities. Failure to adhere to regulations, such as using mobile phones during takeoff or landing, smoking onboard, getting drunk, or causing disturbances, can result in fines and even criminal charges.
In conclusion, passengers must understand and abide by airline regulations to ensure a safe and pleasant travel experience. Disregarding these rules not only leads to legal consequences but also poses risks to flight safety.

Turbocharging is the single most popular method for adding brute power to an engine, but this video shows the manufacturing of a turbocharger is anything but brutal. Instead, the process combines precision machining with ancient methods of metal shaping.
The manufacturing process inside the Turbonetics factory starts with molten aluminum being poured to form the sandcast housings and progresses through exacting CNC processes and unhurried assembly. The human touch is the most notable part of the process: The making of these devices, which spin at 100,000 RPM and help hurl two-ton machines past 200mph, depends largely on the skilled hands of the company's technicians.

Bioaugmentation enhances dark fermentative hydrogen production in cultures exposed to short-term temperature fluctuations
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Scientific › peer-review
|Number of pages||11|
|Journal||Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology|
|Publication status||Published - 21 Nov 2019|
|Publication type||A1 Journal article-refereed|
Hydrogen-producing mixed cultures were subjected to a 48-h downward or upward temperature fluctuation from 55 to 35 or 75 °C. Hydrogen production was monitored during the fluctuations and for three consecutive batch cultivations at 55 °C to evaluate the impact of temperature fluctuations and bioaugmentation with synthetic mixed culture of known H2 producers either during or after the fluctuation. Without augmentation, H2 production was significantly reduced during the downward temperature fluctuation and no H2 was produced during the upward fluctuation. H2 production improved significantly during temperature fluctuation when bioaugmentation was applied to cultures exposed to downward or upward temperatures. However, when bioaugmentation was applied after the fluctuation, i.e., when the cultures were returned to 55 °C, the H2 yields obtained were between 1.6 and 5% higher than when bioaugmentation was applied during the fluctuation. Thus, the results indicate the usefulness of bioaugmentation in process recovery, especially if bioaugmentation time is optimised.


Politicians are not Role models anymore now.
Politicians are not Role models anymore now
Politicians are not Role models anymore now
India has given birth to powerful and heroic citizens like Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Bhagat Singh and many more. The power and charisma exhibited by them still rules the world. The youth, even though these people have become history today, rank them as their role models and live by their preaching.
Swami Vivekananda, whose preaching has swept the world off their feet, is still the role model for the empowering and growing India.
So, why does the youth have to look at the past to glorify their future? The leaders and politicians of today's era don't exhibit that charisma and the righteousness that the leaders of the past did. Today, the leaders are more worried about themselves than the nation. They have become increasingly corrupt, signalling wrong ways to the youth.
If the youth of today looks at the present political scenario, what would his learning be? The religious and social divide, the vote bank hue and cry, chaos, ever growing gap between the rich and the poor and, to top it all we have petty issues among the politicians that cause a wider gap in every possible growth situation.
The youth of today wishes to be part of making India a super power. They are engaged in empowering India. They need role models that can help them in making India a better place. They don't believe in a single religion and, the divide caused by this religion goes beyond them. They believe globalization is the key and, education is the way to get India to the top.
Can any of the political leaders who occupy the stage help them in achieving these causes without their own selfish interests placed in them? Role models need to be bold and daring filled with enthusiasm and honesty. They should have a single goal in mind towards which they work and, that goal should be beautifully defined.
Eklavya, Arjun are all mythological characters but, they have been accepted as role models even today. With the corrupt brains and selfish interests, the political leaders of today lack everything that it takes to be role models for the youth today.

 - Text Compare multiple files with different file names
 I have 2 folders each with 70 pdf files, but different file names. I suspect that the content of the PDF is the same. For example in Folder A there is a file names 0013 Receipt and in Folder B 0013 Import. I figured out how to text compare one-to-one and they are the same for the first few files I reviewed one-to-one.
 Is there a way to simultaneously select all 70 files in each folder for text compare?
 Please keep in mind I have little to no experience in BC and no scripting knowledge.
 Thanks.

 Hello,
 Yes, if the files are aligned and have equal names, but No if the file names are all different and marked as orphans (unaligned). How did you perform the Text Compare on the "first few files"? Manually selected two orphan files with different names, right clicked, and Quick Compare?
 We do have an Align With command which can align files of different names manually. We also have a Pro feature called Alignment Overrides that can create a rule to align different names that match the rule. For example, if all of your files are Number Receipt and Number Import, we could define something similar to * Receipt = * Import to align them. If the names vary greatly or randomly, this might not work.
 If you could post or email us a full screen screenshot of your current Folder Compare showing several of the files you want to align, I can help provide more specific information. If you email us privately at _EMAIL_, please also include a link back to this forum thread in the email, for our reference.

 Thanks for the quick response and the info. I will play with "Align With." I selected Text Compare from the dashboard and manually selected each file. Unfortunately, I'm unable to share my screenshot unless I change the file names. There is more variety in the files name, I generalized the file names for the example I used.
 Again, thanks. BTW I've only had BC for a few weeks and have found it useful and easy to use from the start. I have a desktop label maker that is more complicated.

- Virtual First Day (All School) – August 19th, 2020
- First Day in person and simultaneous virtual – September 2nd, 2020
For the 2020-2021 School Year, St. Mary of Carmel will provide our families both:
- An On-Campus Learning Model
We are also preparing for whole school e-learning should it be necessary throughout the year.
As always, our top priority is to be able to serve our students by providing a quality, Catholic Education in a safe and nurturing environment. A safe environment is more important now than ever and we have developed these protocols with special care to ensure the health and safety of our students upon their return. We know that nothing can replace in person, face to face learning and our goal is to prepare stringent safety and cleaning protocols so that students can return to school safely. However, we understand the uncertainty of these times and are ready to provide flexible options for families so that your students can continue to receive the highest quality education in the environment most comfortable for your family.
Both in-person instruction and online distance learning will be available for our families beginning on August 12th 2020 with students utilizing the Online Distance Learning Model functioning on a one day delay from the in person model. We invite your family to consider which model is a better fit for your family after learning more about the details of both models below. Providing both models will require all of us to work together to ensure the highest quality learning for all of our students. The virtual school option will especially require partnership and a time commitment from families.
Online Distance Learning: "Virtual School"
St. Mary of Carmel will provide a full-time 'Virtual School' Model for any family wanting the quality, Catholic Education that St. Mary of Carmel provides, but who is not ready to attend in-person classes at this time. Choosing to continue to partner with St. Mary of Carmel from home means that your student will continue to have access to all resources (faculty and staff, counselor, library, software etc.) that is available to our students, but the mode and method of delivery will be different. While St. Mary of Carmel will provide high quality direct instruction and engaging learning activities from teachers, this model will still require significant partnership and commitment from parents. Teachers and parents will need to work together closely to ensure that student work is turned in and returned in a timely fashion, that student questions are addressed thoroughly and that schedules are followed closely.
While this new learning model presents a learning curve for both the school, teachers, and students, we are committed to working together to ensure high quality instruction for your students. Our virtual school policies and procedures are currently being refined and finalized, but know that the program will include the following:
- Teachers will record all of their daily direct instruction and post it online for students learning at home to view
- All homework and classwork assignments will be completed via our learning platforms (SeeSaw and Google Classroom)
- Students will have access to all textbooks, software, videos and resources that students in the classroom have access to
- Individual conference/question and answer/discussion time will be set up for students to have live interactions with their teachers on at least a weekly basis
- A staff member on campus will be our virtual learning coordinator and will serve as the point of contact for all questions and support
E-Learning Plan (if necessary)
A transition to a full e-learning schedule during the 2020-2021 school year is a possibility and we will be actively preparing teachers and students for that transition from the onset of school. Our e-learning model will be quite different than the emergency transition we made in the spring and will include synchronous (live instruction in core content) and asynchronous (independent or teacher guided work at a child's own pace) instruction throughout the week. Our full e-learning policies are still being finalized, but all teachers, students and parents will receive training and support in e-learning policies at the beginning of the school year. In addition, all teachers will begin to use our learning platforms in their live, physical classrooms as well to help ensure a seamless transition.
General E-learning Policies
- SMC will use SeeSaw as the learning management platform for PK-2nd Grade.
- Google Classroom will be used as the learning management platform for 3rd-8th grade.
- Google Classroom and FACTS will be integrated for a more seamless transition of grades and assignments from Google Classroom to FACTS (RenWeb) gradebook.
- All students and parents will use Zoom for video conferencing and communicating with teachers.
- Students will be expected to participate in live Morning Prayer and homeroom each day.
- Our E-Learning schedule will include a daily schedule for students with a mix of live classes with students, recorded teacher videos and on screen and off screen work time.
- Weekly calendars of assignments will be provided


Preventing Table overrun to blank page in Microsoft Word
Empty or unwanted pages just after a Word table are especially annoying. Trying to select anything after the table can be difficult unless you know the tricks.
Here's the common problem in Word. A table goes to the end of a document or section but another empty page is added.
Clicking Home | Paragraph | Show All and removing the margins etc. show that there's a paragraph mark after the table.
The table fits into the previous page with only the paragraph mark causing overrunning onto the next page.
Word can't end a document/section with a table, there must be a paragraph mark at the end.
The usual recommendations for stopping the overrun onto another page are things like slightly reducing the line spacing on the table or row heights.
Adjusting the final paragraph mark
We like this sneaky trick, reducing the font size of the final paragraph mark. While that final paragraph isn't visible, to Word it's taking up some vertical space that needs the extra page.
Select the end paragraph mark and reduce the font size until it's at the bottom of the page not the top of a blank one.
In our example, we needed the font setting at 5pt to remove the extra page but you can go down to 1pt if necessary.
It that's not enough, further shrink the vertical height of that paragraph from Paragraph settings and make sure Before and After spacing is zero.
A really extreme measure is to make the line spacing a single point high.
If the really tiny paragraph is still on another page, try adjusting one or more table row heights until the blank page is gone.

Orbit Logic has delivered scheduling software to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to optimize NOAA ground terminal contacts with MEO satellites equipped to receive search and rescue distress alerts.
The solution helps improve the timeliness and location accuracy of distress alerts received by the satellites, leading to faster and more effective responses by rescue personnel. Orbit Logic's delivered solution will include STK Scheduler for contact schedule optimization, STK Pro for system modeling, STK Coverage for Dilution of Precision (DoP) computations, as well as a custom software plug-in to coordinate computations and generate updated contact schedules on demand.
There are a growing number of MEO satellites equipped to receive search and rescue distress signals. Distress signals received by the satellites get relayed to NOAA ground terminals, which send the signals on to appropriate rescue organizations. The number of MEO satellites on orbit now exceeds the number of NOAA ground terminals, so decisions need to be made about which satellites the terminals should point at to receive relayed distress calls.
Orbit Logic developed a COTS-based solution that uses STK Pro and STK Coverage to compute DoP for all possible satellite contact combinations, then passes this information to STK Scheduler. STK Scheduler uses this information to generate ground terminal pointing schedules optimized to provide the best possible geolocation accuracy of distress signals. STK Scheduler models the system as a set of prioritized communications tasks with weighted preferences for resource (satellite) combinations over time. Scheduler generates a new, optimized contact schedule within seconds, allowing for quick updates as conditions change.

"Participants discussed international cyber security policy. A special focus was placed on cyber security activities in the European Union (EU), including in the G5 context, and on cyber security related processes in the UN, which require an active and common approach by the member states in order to foster responsible behaviour of states in cyberspace," a statement frmo the ministry said.
Those present at the e-PINE meeting also shared views on election security, digital security and human rights.
"Malicious and harmful activities engaged in by other countries in cyberspace raise serious concerns; therefore, issues related to cyber security are playing a central role in international security policy." the statement said.
Developments in the countries represented at the meeting were also discussed, with Latvia making a presentation on its new cyber security strategy for 2019-2022.
The e-PINE initiative was launched in 2003 with the purpose of enhancing and sustaining U.S. cooperation with the Baltic and Nordic region. The main fields of cooperation within the e-PINE format are security policy, neighbourhood policy and an active development of economic relations. Since 2014, an e-PINE event has been hosted each year in one of the countries participating in the NB8+USA format.

Ground Anchor Systems For Buoyancy Control
Percussion Driven Earth Anchors (PDEA®) are ideal for counteracting buoyant conditions when a pipeline is constructed in an environment that is or may become saturated. Platipus pipe anchoring solutions eliminate the need for placing additional fill, the use of pipe saddles or weighted bags, pipe coatings, or encasing the pipe in concrete. At a fraction of the installed cost of these conventional systems, Platipus pipe anchor kits are transported economically and install quickly using conventional equipment. Anchor loading is field verified upon installation, and pipe anchor kits are available in temporary and permanent solutions.
In addition, with the increase of extreme global weather events creating instability, there has been a noticeable demand in the use of earth anchoring solutions for other associated pipeline right of way applications, such as surface erosion, slope stability, pipeline repair and stormwater management.

Neuroscience and Neurobiology
Full reconstruction of neuron morphology is of fundamental interest for the analysis and understanding of their functioning. We have developed a novel method capable of automatically tracing neurons in three-dimensional microscopy data. In contrast to template-based methods, the proposed approach makes no assumptions about the shape or appearance of neurite structure. Instead, an efficient seeding approach is applied to capture complex neuronal structures and the tracing problem is solved by computing the optimal reconstruction with a weighted graph. The optimality is determined by the cost function designed for the path between each pair of seeds and by topological constraints defining the component interrelations and completeness. In addition, an automated neuron comparison method is introduced for performance evaluation and structure analysis. The proposed algorithm is computationally efficient and has been validated using different types of microscopy data sets including Drosophila's projection neurons and fly neurons with presynaptic sites. In all cases, the approach yielded promising results.

Abstract. This paper presents a computer vision algorithm that segregates spurious
optical flow artifacts to detect a moving object. The algorithm consists of six steps.
First, the pixels in each image are shifted to compensate for camera rotation.
Second, the images are smoothed with a spatiotemporal Gaussian filter. Third, the
optical flow is computed with a gradientbased technique. Fourth, optical flow
vectors with small magnitudes are discarded. Fifth, vectors with similar locations,
magnitudes, and directions are clustered together using a spatial consistency test.

Training and licensing in information security are important parts of doing a good job in IT risk management. With cyber threats becoming more common and complicated, companies are learning to have workers who can handle and reduce IT risks. One of the most recognized qualifications in IT risk management is the Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) certification. In this post, we will talk about how CRISC certification training can help you build a great job as an IT risk manager.
Comprehensive Understanding of IT Risk Management
One of the best things about CRISC licensing is that it helps people understand all four areas of IT risk management:
- Identifying risks
- Assessing risks
- Responding to risks
- Keeping an eye on risks
CRISC certification training includes a wide range of topics, such as how to find IT risks, analyze and evaluate them, and respond to and eliminate them. IT workers can learn a lot about the IT risk management process through this training, which is important for doing a good job in IT risk management.
Competitive Advantage in IT Risk Management
IT workers with a CRISC license also have a leg up on the competition. Employers are looking for people with specialized knowledge and skills in IT risk management because there are more and more jobs in this field.
IT workers can set themselves apart from their peers and show their skill in IT risk management by getting CRISC certification. The license also allows companies to judge the information and skills of people who want to work for them.
Better Career Opportunities and Higher Salaries
CRISC qualification gives you a competitive edge and leads to better job prospects and higher pay. If you earn a CRISC certification, you are certain that your average earning is more. This is more than the average pay for IT risk managers who need to be qualified.
CRISC licensing also opens job possibilities in many fields, such as banking, healthcare, and technology.
Ongoing Professional Development
CRISC qualification is also helpful because it forces professionals to keep learning and growing. Those with a CRISC license must keep it current through ongoing education and other professional development activities. This ensures that people with CRISC licenses are updated on the latest trends and changes in IT risk management.
This ongoing professional growth improves a person's knowledge and skills and shows how dedicated they are to IT risk management.
Information security training is a great way for IT workers to build a good career in IT risk management. The license shows that a person knows much about IT risk management and is an expert. CRISC qualification gives you an edge, better job prospects, and higher pay.CRISC certification training needs ongoing professional development to ensure people know about IT risk management trends and changes. IT workers can build a strong base for a successful IT risk management job by getting CRISC certification and keeping it up-to-date through ongoing professional development.
