Keywords:Radioactive waste disposal, Compacted bentonite, Calcium carbonate, Electromigration
Calcium carbonate precipitation may occur in bentonite which will be used as an engineered barrier in disposal of radioactive waste generated from Fukushima nuclear accident. In this study, an electrokinetic method was used to enhance the calcium and carbonate migration in saturated sodium bentonite. Sequential extraction method was developed to quantify different states of cations and anions in compacted bentonite after the electromigration experiment. The conditions for CaCO3 precipitation are discussed based on the spatial distribution and chemical states of ions both in the interlayer and in the pore water of bentonite.

A five-year plan to strengthen Ontario's forest industry by expanding biomass projects that turn waste wood into energy and other useful projects has been announced by the provincial government. The Forest Biomass Action Plan (FBAP) is designed to open new markets, increase demand for bioenergy, and support Indigenous involvement in the biomass industry.
The FBAP highlights the use of materials leftover from logging, such as bark, wood shavings, and sawdust produced by sawmills. The plan also includes what the Ontario government calls "biofiber": parts such as treetops and branches that aren't normally turned into forest products.
Jason Koivisto, manager of forestry innovation and market development at the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry, notes that "Sometimes there are resources that don't have a commercial value to industry that, if left on the site, create a challenge for getting really good [forest] renewal."
"The hope is that we diversify and grow the industry," Koivisto added. "Some of it will be new companies coming in, some will be other industries [that] need to address their own carbon footprint and are looking for solutions to help them bridge to that net-zero future."
Ian Dunn from the Ontario Forest Industries Association said having markets for forest biomass prevents waste products from going to the landfill. "In the absence of a market for that material, [mills] would have to create and operate landfills on-site or use municipal landfills. It's really important for biomass facilities to be out there on the landscape to act as a market for that material."
Currently, in northern Ontario, there are five biomass generating stations powered by material from sawmills and panel mills. In parallel with the action plan, the province is extending the energy contracts for these stations.

The Skunk Fire which began as a lightning strike on Saturday, April 19 is currently 31,167 acres large including fire growth and back burns.The fire continues to move in a north westerly direction and an easterly direction towards ponderosa pine forest. South and North side of the fire is contained. The terrain for this fire is steep with scattered boulders making firefighting more difficult. The entire fire is currently 44% contained and full containment is expected by Friday, May 23, according to Inciweb.org.
The National Weather Service has forecast maximum temperatures between 78-93 degrees for May 20. Southwest winds around 10 -15 miles and increasing to 20 mph in the afternoon with gusts to 30 mph. Ridge tops wind will be southwest 20-25 mph.

Simile in The Old Nurse's Story
Simile Examples in The Old Nurse's Story:
The Old Nurse's Story
"The hard, sad Miss Furnivall, and the cold Mrs. Stark, looked pleased when she came fluttering in like a bird, playing and pranking hither and thither, with a continual murmur, and pretty prattle of gladness...." See in text (The Old Nurse's Story)
Hester's description of toddler Rosamond recalls a chattering bird, bringing cheerfulness and conversation to previously silent and darkened places. Rosamond's good humor serves as a contrast to Mrs. Stark and Miss Furnivall, who are both quiet and unfriendly. Note also that birds are notoriously fragile creatures; Hester's protectiveness of Rosamond is shown in her word choice to describe the child.
"a face as full of fine wrinkles as if they had been drawn all over it with a needle's point...." See in text (The Old Nurse's Story)
Notice the simile here: Miss Furnivall's wrinkles are so precise that it looks as if someone has carefully drawn them on with a pinpoint. This highlights both her advanced age and suggests she is someone who is as precise as her appearance.
"who was like a sunbeam in any family, be it never so grand..." See in text (The Old Nurse's Story)
Notice the simile used to characterize Rosamond: she is like a "sunbeam," a bright flash of warm, comforting light in an otherwise dreary landscape. Hester calls Rosamond her "pet" out of affection, not out of condescending ownership, showing the true bond that exists between the two.


Lossiemouth jets deployed to help NATO safeguard Baltic states
Lossiemouth Typhoons head for Baltic mission
The UK is once more taking its turn to enhance NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission with four Typhoon aircraft, which have deployed from RAF Lossiemouth to Amari airbase in Estonia (Mike Crutch reports).
The Typhoons augment four Norwegian F-16 fighters aircraft in Lithuania and will safeguard the airspace of the Baltic states through until the end of August.
The Estonian Minister for Foreign Affairs Ms Keit Pentus-Roimannus welcomed the RAF as a "demonstration of Alliance solidarity carrying a visible sign and sound, which was the whisper of freedom".
The RAF detachment, forming under the banner of No.121 Expeditionary Air Wing, is led by Wing Commander Stu Smiley and took over the NATO task from the Spanish Air Force.
Having arrived directly from RAF Lossiemouth after a journey of a little over two hours the four jets from No.6 Squadron are set to play their part in ensuring that aircraft are available on high readiness ground alert to investigate any unknown approaches to the Baltic air space, usually probing Russian Air Force aircraft.
The jets will also carry out training and practice scrambles with their NATO partners.
NATO Baltic Air Policing missions have been carried out continuously since 2004. The Royal Air Force's previous roulement was in 2014, with RAF Coningsby-based Typhoons deploying to Lithuania.

Fairy Tales: Three Heroes is a Slavic tale of three Russian heroes who retired early when the nation was at peace. In their solitude, far from the world, their stories were soon forgotten until one day, Alesha, one of the heroes, unexpectedly meets a gang of robbers who try to sneak into his house. He learns from them that the world has changed. The nation is no longer stable and mischievous gangs are running rampant. Alesha decides to find back his former friends Dobrynya and Ilya to team up and restore the former glory.
This third-person action is a modern take on the Lost Viking concept where three friends, each with different abilities, need to work together. They travel through a bright, cel-shaded world divided into different areas. Each location contains a number of towns, dense nature, characters who provide quests and of course plenty of enemies. Using the Physx engine, almost every object can be pushed around or destroyed. The three friends run together and the player can switch between them at any time. Meanwhile, the computer AI takes over for the other two character's basic actions. The player can also exercise minor influence over them by asking them to follow or hold a position. Often they need to operate separately, for specific missions or to control an area from different directions at the same time.
The characters have distinct abilities. Alesha is an agile archer who runs the fastest and needs to take out enemies from a distance with bow and arrow. Dobrynya is stronger and usually wields a staff. He has the ability to pole-vault over obstacles where others cannot pass. Ilya is the brute with a giant sword and shield; slow but extremely effective in combat. They can pick up new weapons left behind by enemies (based on a wide range of statistics) or have it upgraded. By defeating enemies and completing quests, experience is earned to level up the character through a skill tree. Next to the primary weapons, each character can execute up to seven secondary attacks that can be upgraded up to three times. Alesha for instance can fire many arrows at once or aim precisely, while Ilya can swing his sword around to perform combos or pick up enemies and throw them far away. Executing them drains a Heroic Strength meter, that regenerates or is refilled through items. Not all attacks can be maxed out during the course of the game, so the most important ones need to be singled out. The characters can also collect meat or apples to restore health, and a wide range of items used to poison weapons, gain excessive speed, freeze enemies, increase defence and more.
The many quests have the heroes attack fortresses and camps, protect towns, escort important characters or retrieve missing persons. In later missions, many of them occur at once introducing an invisible time limit or forcing the player to fight and protect characters at the same time. While the storyline is linear, players are free to explore the environment and explore the quests at first. Even though strategical switches between the characters are important while fighting, the combat itself is mostly pure hack-and-slash. Quests show up on a mini-map where waypoints can be activated to quickly move towards a goal. Movement is done through the keyboard, while the mouse is used to look around and perform actions.

This article states and (possibly) proves a fact that involves two finite groups of relatively prime order, requiring the additional datum that at least one of them is solvable. Due to the Feit-Thompson theorem, we know that for two finite groups of relatively prime orders, one of them is solvable. Hence, the additional datum of solvability can be dropped.

Why is it called Throwing?
Origin of "To throw": Old Engilish – twist, to turn, to propel. Some potters describe their work at the potters wheel as turning. The Old English word thrawan from which to throw comes, means to twist or turn. Going back even farther, the Indo-European root *termeans to rub, rub by twisting, twist, turn. The German word drehen, a direct relative of to throw, means turn and is used in German for throwing. Because the activity of forming pots on the wheel has not changed since Old English times, the word throw has retained its original meaning in the language of pottery but has developed a completely different meaning in everyday usage. Those who say they throw pots are using the historically correct term. Those who say they turn pots are using more current language. Both are saying the same thing

for this type of insert optimization.
Problem analysis
The results of the previous tests raised questions: "How do we explain the performance degradation in the case of columns number growth?" and "How do we minimize this effect?"
I selected three factors that I believe affected response time and tried to investigate their influence on the result.
Suggested Influence
Round trips
A statement invocation on server takes time. The more rows are wrapped into a single INSERT the less statement invocation we have. Using multiple rows insert minimizes round trips.
Number of parameters in a statement
Parameter binding, sending and parsing takes time. The more parameters we use the more time is spent on binding and parsing on server side.
Insert operation time
Clear time of insert without time spent in sending, binding and parsing parameters. The more rows are wrapped into a single INSERT the less time is spent. Using of multiple rows insert should minimize INSERT operation time.
Table 3
My idea was to understand how much time we spent sending, binding and parsing data and how long the INSERT operation took.
I used a trick to gauge how long the INSERT operation took. I created a copy of the program that sent the same data to the server but did not execute the INSERT statements. I wanted to compare the results shown by program that sent data and executed INSERT statements with the results of the program that just sent data.
For comparison, I took the results of the first test with a two column table. The results of both programs are presented in Image 7. To calculate the INSERT operation time, I subtracted the results of the program without INSERT from the program executing INSERT.
Image 7
Through multiple rows optimization, the INSERT operation time was reduced from 21 seconds to three seconds, and there was no degradation. When a single INSERT contained more than 100 rows, the results of a program with INSERT and without INSERT became very similar. Both programs spent a lot of time in sending, binding and parsing data.
The best result for multiple rows insert was 9 seconds (25 rows per insert), and only 4 seconds were spent inserting data. During the test with the single row insert, the total time was 56 seconds, 21 of which were spent executing INSERT and 24 seconds on sending and binding.
When increasing the number of rows in a single statement from one to 1000, the sum of round trips and parameter binding time decreased, but with 100 rows in a single INSERT it began to increase. To insert 100 rows in one statement I used 200 parameters. It's likely that the positive effect of decreasing the round trip time was negated by the parameter binding and parsing. In my testing environment, the number of parameters in a statement should be between 100 and 200. When the number of parameters was above 200, serious response time degradation was observed. The program without INSERT shows that this effect relates not only to multiple rows insert, but to any statement with parameters including stored procedures.
In my test programs the number of parameters was the main limitation. The most significant amount of time was spent on parameter processing.
Problem minimization
To minimize the influence of the number of parameters, I decided to try and use parameters more efficiently.
I took the case which had shown the worst result: the table with 23 columns (t23). I put all the 23 values into one string variable where every field had a fixed length. Instead of sending 23 parameters for each row I sent one in the form of string. I repeated a set of tests wrapping one, two, five, 10, 25, 50, 100 rows in a single INSERT statement. To get certain column value during execution of INSERT I used substring operator, I called this method "sub stringed multiple insert".
The INSERT statement for three rows in a single statement looked like this:
Table structure:
U1 uniqueidentifier, U2 uniqueidentifier,I1 int, I2 int, d1 datetime, I3 int, I4 int, 15 columns varchar(40);
Step A. Put 23 values in to a string variable for every row using concatenation ("+")
Declare _USER_ varchar(..)= [column 1] value + … [column 23] value;
Declare _USER_ varchar(..)= [column 1] value + … [column 23] value;
Declare _USER_ varchar(..) = [column 1] value + … [column 23] value;
Step B. Insert data using substring.
Insert into t23(c1,c2,..c23) values
(substring(_USER_,1,32), substring(_USER_,33,32), …. substring(_USER_,xx,40) ), –1st row
(substring(_USER_,33,32), substring(_USER_,33,32), …. substring(_USER_,xx,40) ),– 2nd row
(substring(_USER_,33,32), substring(_USER_,33,32), …. substring(_USER_,xx,40) ),– 2nd row
Using "sub stringed multiple insert" I managed to reduce the multiple rows insert results from 79 seconds to 37 seconds for the table with 23 columns.
The results produced by the single row insert, multiple rows insert and "sub stringed multiple insert" for tables with a different number of columns are presented on Image 8.
Image 8
"Sub stringed multiple insert" supported my hypothesis about the main limitation. After minimizing the number of parameters, the result was improved in spite of spending additional CPU resources to perform substring operation.
Comparison of multiple insert method with bcp, TVP procedure and single row insert
Finally, I decided to compare multiple rows insert with other data load methods. I used bcp utility, the procedure with INSERT from TVP, the single row insert and "sub stringed multiple insert". I completed two sets of tests. In the first set, I loaded one million rows, in the second one, 10 million. I took the tables with different numbers of columns which I had used in the previous tests. In these tests, I wanted to define the influence of the number of columns on insert speed for all the methods. The results of the tests are shown in Image 9 and Image 10.
Tables had the same structure as before.
In the tests, I filled character columns completely according to its full size.
Image 9
Image 10
All the methods suffered from increasing the number of columns.
The length (in bytes) of each row for the table with ten columns was equal to the twenty-three column table. Performance for the twenty-three column table was significantly longer.
Bulk copy utility (bcp) was the fastest data load method and "Sub stringed multiple rows insert" was a close second. Multiple rows insert was faster than the single row insert and faster than TVP in two of the four cases.
In order to minimize execution time when you are loading data, it is better to insert several rows at once using INSERT... VALUES. Even by inserting two rows in a single statement you can reduce the execution time over single row insert.
For the single row and multiple row insert, good performance is possible only if you use explicit transactions. Wrap _PHONE_ statements into a transaction. Don't use auto-commit!
Even though you can have 1000 rows in a single INSERT... VALUES statement, doesn't mean you should. I got the best results with a relatively small number of rows in a single INSERT: two, five, seven and 25 rows worked best.
The more columns you have in a table, the lower the effectiveness of INSERT optimization. With 23 columns, the advantage almost vanished. This was due to the fact that the time spent parameter binding and parsing dwarfed any saving in inserting several rows in one statement. Be careful using parameterized statements with a large number of parameters (more > 100), not just with multiple rows insert, but with all the statement types including stored procedures. Such is the slowness of parameter binding that it was quicker to put all the values for one row into one delimited string and sending it in one parameter instead of several. This, combined with multiple rows and using the substring function to get values back, could improve data load speed.
Now that I've completed 45 different experiments, here's what I've learned: The fastest method to load data into SQL Server is bcp, with "sub stringed multiple rows insert" as a close second; multiple row insert consistently outperformed single row insert; and the number of columns involved in the insertion of a table was a serious limitation for all the methods.

C++ Question
Why can't a forward declaration be used for a std::vector?
If I create a class like so:
// B.h
#ifndef _B_H_
#define _B_H_
class B
{
private:
int x;
int y;
};
#endif // _B_H_
and use it like this:
// main.cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
class B; // Forward declaration.
class A
{
public:
A() {
std::cout << v.size() << std::endl;
}
private:
std::vector<B> v;
};
int main()
{
A a;
}
The compiler fails when compiling
main.cpp
. Now the solution I know is to
#include "B.h"
, but I'm curious as to why it fails. Neither
g++
or
cl
's error messages were very enlightening in this matter.
Answer
The compiler needs to know how big "B" is before it can generate the appropriate layout information. If instead, you said std::vector<B*>, then the compiler wouldn't need to know how big B is because it knows how big a pointer is.

Looking at the occupation of many of my direct male relatives, I find that farmer and miner were the most common. Those who were miners were either in the north east of Tasmania or on the west coast of Tasmania. This week I will look at one person in the north east where you can find a trail of the tin dragon between Launceston and St Helens.
Tin was the main mineral found in this area of Tasmania but there was some gold and coal as well. By the mid 1870's, there were over a dozen towns built up around tin mining. The most important of these was Derby and the Briseis Tin Mine which closed in 1956. But in 1929, there was a terrible mining disaster in Derby.
In the 1870's, tin was fetching £40 – £50 per ton. In 1927 it was up to £297/18/11 but a year later had dropped to £227/11 per ton. Prosperous tin mining was now in decline.
Whenever our family stayed at St Helens for holidays, we would always head to Derby for the day to look over the school house museum and check out the history of mining in the area at the tin mine centre. Or we would check out Gould Country and the Blue Tier, bashing our way through ferns and scrub to where dad thought some mining equipment, especially stampers, could be found.
Relatives in the North East at Lottah
But for my family history it was the area of the Blue Tier and Lottah township that was important as that is where my supposed great great grandfather Thomas Somers/Summers worked as a miner according to the birth certificate of my great grandmother Nellie Somers and her siblings. Georges Bay is now known as St Helens in the district of Portland.
The only time Thomas is mentioned in person is on the above certificate; the siblings certificates do not have a fathers name mentioned except Kate's. So there is some confusion as to who might be the true father of Nellie's siblings – is it Thomas Somers or John West Clark? What happened in the four years between Nellie's birth in 1889 and Kate's in 1893? Why the name change for father?
- Kate Clarke born 4 Feb 1893 parents as West Clarke and Alice O'Keefe Clarke then baptised as Kate Clarke on 28 March 1893 with parents John Clarke and Alice Clarke
- William Henry Somers born 6 Dec 1894 but baptised as William Henry Clark on 28 Jan 1895 parents as Wes Clark and Alice Somers
- Jessie May Somers born 15 May 1897 but baptised as Jessie May Clark on 14 Dec 1898 parents as John West Clark and Alice O'Keefe
- Joseph Edward Somers born 30 Oct 1898 but baptised as Joseph Edward Clark on 14 Dec 1898 parents as John West Clark and Alice O'Keefe
- Herbert Francis Somers born 4 Feb 1901 with mother as Alice Somers O'Keefe and her having been married in 1885 in Melbourne but no father for Herbert.
DNA has proved my father is related to William Henry Somers/Clark and at least four of his descendants as full 2nd cousins or 2C1R or the amount of cMs also mean they could be half cousins. So with Alice O'Keefe/Somers/Clark as the common parent we still can't be sure of the fathers.
I can't find any marriage for Alice O'Keefe to either Thomas Somers/Summers or John West Clark(e) in Melbourne or anywhere else in Australia.
According to Kate Crellin nee Clark's death notice she had 4 sisters and 3 brothers. So who are Alice Clark, Mary Clark and Emily Clark? Who are their parents and where were they born?
Present day Lottah
Lottah nowadays is a ghost town, seen here in this ABC radio article. But at one point in time the wheel at the Anchor mine near Lottah was the largest in the world and the actual township had about 40 houses, hotels, churches, school and a thriving community.

An iterative finite difference beam propagation method based on the Crank-Nicholson scheme is presented to simulate continuous wave (CW) second-order nonlinear effects in optical waveguides with the depletion of the pump wave taken into account. This method is an extension of the linear finite-difference beam propagation method and preserves the same order of accuracy. Comparisons with the previously published explicit finite difference beam propagation method and the rectangular approximation method are presented. Quasi-phase matched difference frequency generation in AlGaAs and quasi-phase-matched second harmonic generation in LiNbO3 are considered in the evaluation, showing that one iteration for the IFD-BPM is sufficient for the simulation with good accuracy and without increasing much computation time.

Seeing Beyond the Words: An Interview with Derek Jennings
According to Aristotle, "The soul never thinks without a picture." So perhaps the image-based research Dr. Derek Jennings does could be defined as a way to 'discover what the soul is thinking'…
Jennings is an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice and Pharmaceutical Sciences on the Duluth Campus and the outreach director for Research for Indigenous Community Health (RICH) Center. He has a PhD in curriculum and instruction (with an emphasis in communications and technology), a degree in philosophical and social foundations of education, with a minor in film/photography. He has also been a freelance photographer who has taught photography for 10 years at a summer arts institute.
He has become very skilled in using the qualitative research methodology called PhotoVoice. PhotoVoice allows Jennings to combine his wide areas of knowledge and skill to develop health research projects with American Indian communities.
PhotoVoice enables people to tell their own stories, expressing their thoughts, ideas, culture and values through photographic representations. It works like this: the community or the researcher picks a topic to explore. The participants make photographs that explore and represent the topic and tell their own story through images. The information is deep and rich, containing multiple layers of meaning.
The participants then talk about what they chose to photograph. It's an important part of the narrative to understand why these images where created, what they mean to the participant. Jennings knows, "Meaning that is attached by the person who took the picture, is the most powerful." So he listens carefully to their descriptions and analyzes the story they provide.
"I always talk about photographs as being just a file marker of abstract thoughts," Jennings explains. "If you handed me your family's photo album, I might not be able to know what's going on with the pictures. You would have to sit there and tell me what you remember… 'Oh, that was 2008, my grandmother's birthday... We were celebrating my graduation on this day with my family' – and you would tell me all these stories. But they really are just symbols that are file markers for your brain to attach meaning to."
He tells about a group of American Indian women who have become known for running trail races and exercising. At first the group was three to four women who were wanting to get healthier. They started walking. Soon others joined. What began with a just few women walking grew into a group of 20–30, running marathons. And they got healthier. "A couple of them lost around 100 pounds."
Jennings explains what drew him to this group for a PhotoVoice project.
"I like to find those things that are working, attach research to them to figure out why and how they are working." He then shares that information back to the community. The run-group is 'a thing that's working.'
The women have created a community of support for themselves: from the reservation, from family and from the run-group (friends). How? How were the women using social media to meet up to run? Most importantly, Jennings asked, "How do you make a community within a community, that will be supportive?"
He provided the women with cameras for about a week, to document their experiences and show what it means to them to run and to live healthier lives. "And so they photographed and told stories about their individual lives."
"A lot of them had compelling stories about past relationships, their families, wanting to be good ancestors for their children."
He learned that when they run, the women talk about their ancestors. Some who have been adopted out are trying to learn about their culture and rebuild their roots to their ancestors.
"They talk about trauma, they talk about things that have happened and how it has affected their lives. So it's kind of a therapy situation also."
"These women have done it [changed their lives] and I'm just trying to figure out how they did it and how it worked. With their encouragement, I was able to."
Currently Jennings is working on a project called Food Medicine.
"It's a model about food and behavior, history and connection to culture." He is drawn to this type of research because, "It's image-based so there is so much information, not just focusing on one little area."
Collaborative research is attractive to Jennings because it allows for multiple approaches from multiple perspectives. He prefers to explore issues this way. He works with American Indian communities, learning from collective wisdom. He also enjoys working collaboratively at RICH, as part of a larger team of researchers with differing expertise, "bringing many people around the same table, to solve health problems."
Dr. Michelle Johnson-Jennings is Jennings' wife and one of his collaborators at RICH. Both conduct research around tribal health issues, particularly obesity research, and both have said that combining their different approaches enhances the success of their projects.
Dr. Derek Jennings brings deep understanding and expertise of qualitative methods, especially image-based research. With a background in clinical psychology, Dr. Johnson-Jennings applies more quantitative approaches. Together they are able to examine a problem more fully than either approach can offer alone.
"This is the way of the future. I think this is how the academy will be ready to make changes in society – these more collaborative approaches to research."

Local Assets
Components usually need assets, such as images, videos or any kind of data files, Stencil includes certain features to make this task easy.
Component's assetsDirs
Lets dive in and look at an example of how to use local assets:
Below is an example of your Component's folder structure containing the component, the stylesheet, and an assets directory.
Below is the stencil-asset.tsx file which will correctly load the assets based on a property called src.
import { Component, Prop, getAssetPath, h } from '_USER_/core';
 tag:'stencil-asset',
 styleUrl:'stencil-asset.css',
 assetsDirs: ['assets']
export class StencilAsset {
 _USER_() image = "sunset.jpg";
 render() {
 return
As you can see from this example, the component decorator has the assetsDirs property, which points to the./assets folder, this instructs the Stencil compiler to copy that folder into the distribution folder (dist or www).
Then, within the component's logic, the getAssetPath function (imported from _USER_/core) is used to determine the absolute path from where the assets should be loaded from.
Use Cases
Some use cases we have come up with are:
 - Loading from a collection of SVGs
 - Loading and applying fonts on demand
 - Loading images or videos

Announcement from the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency.
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency has officially adopted a new strategic plan.
The strategic plan aims to guide the regional authority's strategic direction through 2030 and addresses key climate and air quality issues, including differences in air pollution between local communities. The agency's new vision is "healthy air, climate and environmental justice for the benefit of all people in the Puget Sound region." The agency's board officially approved the plan on January 26th .
The plan recognizes that the decade ahead has the potential to be transformative, with a growing regional population, advances in clean technology and accessibility, and new policy frameworks at the state and federal levels. The plan includes flexibility for the agency to adapt its actions to changing circumstances and opportunities while improving air quality and associated health outcomes for residents of the Puget Sound region.
"Our new strategic plan will serve as the foundation and blueprint for our organization for the next seven years," said Christine Cooley, executive director of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. "I am incredibly proud of the plan's focus on the equitable advancement of environmental justice in all aspects of the agency. With the growing need to combat climate change and the opportunities available due to new policies at the state and federal levels, we are excited to begin implementing this thoughtful and progressive plan."
The strategic plan outlines goals and objectives for the agency through 2030, including:
- Air pollution overall decreases by 20% from 2022 to 2030, and the annual economic impact of air pollution health effects decreases by at least $500 million
- Cancer risk from toxic air pollutants reduced by 50% from 2022 to 2030, especially in congested communities
- Socio-economic differences in exposure to air pollution are halved from 2022 to 2030
- Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Puget Sound region fall by 50% compared to 1990 levels
"This dynamic plan encompasses an impressive amount of engagement from the public, overburdened communities, a wide variety of stakeholders and all levels of agency staff," said Megan Dunn, chair of the agency's board of directors. "We look forward to ensuring that the impact of this plan can be seen and measured in each of the Puget Sound region's communities."
"We are pleased to see that the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency's 2030 Strategic Plan establishes bold climate goals and identifies specific actions to transition to clean energy, reduce harmful air pollution and protect frontline communities," said Deepa Sivarajan, Climate Solutions Washington Clean Buildings Policy. Boss. "We need strong regional leadership to make the transition to clean energy more accessible and build community resilience, and look forward to working with the agency on implementation to ensure the agency is doing everything it can to protect citizens from the harms of climate change and the health effects of a continued dependence on fossil fuels."
The agency will host a public information gathering from 17.30 to 18.30 on Wednesday 15 March to summarize the community input that was heard throughout 2022 and how this input has been incorporated into the new strategic plan.


text: For spin-polarized electrons in the energy range of 8-21 eV incident off-normally on a W(110) surface, we have measured the energy distribution of secondary electrons using a time-of-flight technique and a position-sensitive detector. Selecting the elastically scattered electrons in the specular direction, we obtained the spin asymmetry of the (00) low-energy electron diffraction beam as a function of the primary electron energy and incidence angle. Calculations on the basis of a relativistic multiple scattering formalism, with potential input derived from the self-consistently calculated ground state electronic structure, yielded (00) beam spectra in rather good agreement with their experimental counterparts. In particular, we found a prominent asymmetry feature of about 60% slightly below the emergence threshold energy for two nonspecular beams. Its physical origin is a region of strong spin-orbit coupling between even and odd bulk states, but its size, sign, and energy depend sensitively on the surface potential barrier, which identifies it as a surface resonance. Experimentally, the surface sensitivity of the large asymmetry is revealed by its sign reversal after oxygen exposure.


Concrete Steps For Gardens
Do you have a beautiful garden where you wanted to spend quality time with your family and friends? If this is so and you are looking to add some more beauty to it then why don't you go for setting some beautiful stepping stones. You can make concrete steps for garden with different material like you can use, concrete slabs, bricks, gravel, timber or large flat stones. The type of material and design of your garden steps depends on the area where you wanted to build these steps. Following is your step wise procedure for building garden steps.
 - First of all you need to mark the outer edges of your concrete steps for gardens. You can do this with the help of pegs and builder line.
 - Next thing you need is to determine that how many steps should be made. This can be done by measuring the horizontal distance and vertical height of flight of steps.
 - To determine the height of each step you need to divide the total height vertical height with your riser height. You can also take help from the tread-riser combination chart.
 - Once you are done with measuring and deciding the height of each step you need to make rough shape of these steps by using a spade.
 - When you are done then you should dig a trench nearly 125mm deep to hold solid footing before the first riser. You can use the level marker to make a perfect level for this. This is important because if there is no solid footing then you will face difficulty afterwards.
 - Following the similar pattern you need to concrete each step which was roughly made in the previous step. Once you are done with concrete steps for gardens then you should leave it for 24 hours to consolidate on its position.

Echo combination to reduce temperature measurement errors in the presence of fat
Rieke V, Butts Pauly K
Lipids create errors in temperature estimation with the proton resonant frequency (PRF) shift method. Fat suppression is commonly used in tissues with lipid content, but increases imaging time and is difficult at low field strengths. In this study, we investigate a method to substantially reduce these errors by refocusing several gradient echoes and combining the corresponding temperature maps. This echo combination technique eliminates the need for fat suppression in tissues such as the liver.


Brno - Freedom Square
This is probably the most important square in Brno and is the imaginary center of the city. In the past, it was known as Lower Market or the Great Square. It has a roughly triangular layout and was first mentioned in the 13th century. Even in the Middle Ages, this was considered "uptown", where rich burghers and noblemen built their stately homes.
The last major reconstruction of the entire area took place in 2006.

SJSU was first accredited in 1949. Since that time, reviews for re-accreditation have occured at least once every 10 years. The most recent review period began when the campus submitted its institutional proposal in 2002.
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accredits institutions, not individual programs. Therefore, in addition to assessing the academic quality and educational effectiveness of institutions, the Commission emphasizes institutional structures, processes, and resources. Following acceptance of an institutional proposal framing the review, SJSU prepares for two separate visits from WASC. The first is referred to as the Preparatory Review and the second is the Educational Effectiveness Review.
San José State is a major, comprehensive public university located in the center of San José and in the heart of Silicon Valley. SJSU is the oldest state university in California. Its distinctive character has been forged by its long history, by its location, and by its vision, a blend of the old and the new, of the traditional and the innovative. Among its most prized traditions is an uncompromising commitment to offer access to higher education to all persons who meet the criteria for admission, yielding a stimulating mix of age groups, cultures, and economic backgrounds for teaching, learning, and research. SJSU takes pride in and is firmly committed to teaching and learning, with a faculty that is active in scholarship, research, technological innovation, community service, and the arts.
- 1857: San José State is founded as a Normal School and becomes the first institution of public higher education in the state.
- 1935: Renamed San José State College.
- 1949: SJSU accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)
- 1960: The individual California State Colleges were brought together as a system by the Donahoe Higher Education Act of 1960.
- 1972: The system becomes California State University and Colleges.
- 1982: The system becomes the California State University (CSU).
Today the 23 campuses of the CSU system include comprehensive and polytechnic universities, and, since July 1995, the California Maritime Academy, a specialized campus. The SJSU campus alone is composed of 30,000 students and over 2,000 faculty and staff. The information SJSU prepares for its reaccreditation review provides an excellent data view of SJSU.
To nurture the continued development of strong academic programs and services to support student development and success the campus is fully engaged in a strategic planning process intended to help San José State University prepare for the future. It helps us serve our mission, reach our vision and guide resource allocation.
The campus is located in downtown San José, the site of the oldest civil settlement (established in 1777) in California. The city of San José is the 11th largest city in the United States and the third largest in California with a population of 926,200. Known as the "Capital of Silicon Valley," San José was called the "epicenter of information technology" by Fortune magazine.
The education level of the San José metropolitan area workforce is one of the highest in the country; 67 percent of the workforce has some post-secondary education, and 48 percent have earned a college degree. The city also has the lowest crime rate of any major city (those with populations of 500,000 or more) in the United States.
Core Principles and Standards
The accrediation process has changed considerably since SJSU's previous review. To its credit, WASC, following an extensive period of reflection and discussion with the many institutions it accredits, has developed a focused review process. This new approach provides institutions with the flexibility needed to make the review one that facilitates the growth and development of the institution along its own unique path.
WASC reviews institutions with respect to their committment to core principles called Institutional Capacity and Educational Effectiveness. To become and remain accredited,each institution is expected to demonstrate that it is committed to developing and sustaining Institutional Capacity and Educational Effectiveness. With respect to Institutional Capacity, WASC expects an institution to function with clear purposes,high levels of institutional integrity,fiscal stability, and organizational structures to fulfill its purposes. With respect to Educational Effectiveness, WASC looks for evidence of clear and appropriate educational objectives and design at the institutional and program level. WASC also expects institutions to employ processes of review, including the collection and use of data, that assure delivery of programs and learner accomplishments at a level of performance appropriate for the degree or certificate awarded.
At each review (preparatory/capacity & educational effectiveness) institutions need to present information that conveys to WASC the extent to which they have met each of four standards [pdf] articulated by WASC.
- Standard 1. Defining Institutional Purposes and Ensuring Educational Objectives.
- Standard 2. Achieving Educational Objectives Through Core Functions
- Standard 3. Developing and Applying Resources and Organizational Structures to Ensure Sustainability.
- Standard 4. Creating an Organization Committed to Learning and Improvement.

Can anyone point to an article or code samples anywhere on how to provide BOTH editing AND range selection in a TStringGrid?
Yes, I KNOW there are third-party grids that do this, but it's frustrating that the built-in grid lacks this basic capability.
It's pretty normal to expect to be able to both edit a cell in a grid, and also to select a range of cells such as for a Copy operation.
As delivered, TStringGrid doesn't do that. It's either/or. In fact, the docs tell us about the grid Options, "When goEditing is included in Options, goRangeSelect has no effect".
However, it looks like it may be possible to do editing and rangeselects in a TStringGrid anyway!!! Through careful use of the mousedown, mouseup, selectcell and exit events, you can get dang close by switching editing elements on and off at the right times. But I still don't have it perfect, and that only covers mouse use, not keyboard changes.
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
I have not used the TStringGrid for this, so I can't provide a specific answer. But am I right in assuming you can manually (in code) start a cell being edited? That link implies it is possible even if the grid doesn't have goEditing included in its Options. (See below to work around this if this is not true.)
If so, I'd suggest the following approach:
Combined selection and edit behaviour
I find this is a good, Windows-standard-behaviour sort of approach:
 - Leave the grid in selection mode, so mouse and keyboard interaction selects cells
 - Trigger a cell being edited yourself, based on certain criteria (I think you are on the way to doing this from what you said in your last paragraph.) There are common ways to trigger editing, and the following criteria are what my programs follow when they do something similar with other controls:
 - Selection is normal. Ie, click to select, click and drag to multi-select, use the keyboard arrows and Shift or Control to select, etc.
 - A cell enters edit mode when either:
 1. A cell is selected and the user presses Enter or F2 (F2 is the standard "Rename" or "Edit" shortcut, which works in a number of programs)
 2. The user "slow-double-clicks" on a cell - ie, slow-double-clicks to select and edit, or clicks again, after a pause, on an already-selected cell. This mimics Explorer's behaviour, where if a file is selected and you later click on it, it enters the inline edit/rename mode. To implement this, record when a cell was last clicked (and selected.) If it is clicked again, and if the time is greater than GetDoubleClickTime then they have clicked twice, slowly, and enter edit mode. This allows you to distinguish between the first click to select, a double-click (to perform some kind of action), and a slow second click, to enter edit mode.
 I also tend to check the mouse position, so that if an object is slow-double-clicked and it wasn't first selected (ie, this both selects the object and then enters edit mode) I verify the mouse hasn't moved very much. I use GetSystemMetrics to find the double-click distance, and check that the slow double click was within this box. (Because it's not a true doubleclick, I actually check the distance times 2. My action code is:
 const int iMAX_MOVE_AMOUNT = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYDOUBLECLK) * 2; (sorry, C++ not Delphi, but should be convertable easily enough!)
 but I'm actually not certain if this is completely and utterly 100% to Windows guidelines. In practice users find it works as they expect, though.)
That should let you change between selecting and editing at the appropriate times with both the keyboard and the mouse.
Miscellaneous thoughts
You may find some of this is cleaner and easier to implement by subclassing TStringGrid and creating a new component. That will allow you to implement this in normal code and override the inbuilt behaviour (rather than event handlers) while keeping it invisible to the form code. It will also give you lower-level access to the mouse events or Windows messages than are exposed simply through events such as OnMouseDown. Finally, if there are problems with showing the editor when goEditing is included in Options, this will allow you to change that behaviour. You could also add your own events if you want your code to respond to certain things happening, such as creating an OnBeginEdit event, say.
Creating your own components is normally regarded as an advanced Delphi topic, but it's actually remarkably easy once you know how! This site has a few good topics that will introduce you to the subject in general, and if you go this route and encounter problems, Stack Overflow is of course a good place to ask questions :) The Embarcadero Delphi » VCL » Writing Components newsgroup / forum is also an excellent resource, in fact possibly even better than SO for this specific topic.
Hope that helps!

Question: English & Literature
How does Sam try to educate them and what lessons does he teach?
sam from master harold and the boys what lessons does he teach hally and willie
In English & Literature | Asked by jebosley
Asked from the Master Harold...and the Boys study pack
Best Answer
First of all, Sam is a black man, he has no real education except from what he has learned from Hally. But Sam is curious and has a strong personnality.
For willie, I'd say he is litteraly trying to teach him how to dance, That'd be the first thing you'd see but deeper, there's also the No-collision world part where they say that life is a sort of dance without music to guide them, maybe he's trying to open their minds. Don't forget about the violence willie imposes on his girlfriend and how Sam tells him what to do.
For Hally there are many things he has been teaching him, first when they talk about the men of magnitude. They both give the men they'd "like to be like" or they admire, and they talk about religion. But I think that Sam isn't directly giving a lesson in that part buut more likely in the end. When they get in a fight, maybe to make Hally realize that he is wrong acting and saying horribles things about his father, and then being mean to willie to hurt Sam.
I don't think that's all of it, but it's quite a start, sorry for the mistakes I might have made, I'm not english and my english isn't that good :/
Hope I helped :]

ABSOLUTE RADIOMETRIC CALIBRATION OF THE GÖKTÜRK-2 SATELLITE SENSOR USING TUZ GÖLÜ (LANDNET SITE) FROM NDVI PERSPECTIVE
Keywords: Absolute radiometric calibration; Göktürk-2, Tuz Gölü, NDVI
Abstract. TÜBİTAK UZAY has conducted a research study on the use of space-based satellite resources for several aspects of agriculture. Especially, there are two precision agriculture related projects: HASSAS (Widespread application of sustainable precision agriculture practices in Southeastern Anatolia Project Region (GAP) Project) and AKTAR (Smart Agriculture Feasibility Project). The HASSAS project aims to study development of precision agriculture practice in GAP region. Multi-spectral satellite imagery and aerial hyperspectral data along with ground measurements was collected to analyze data in an information system. AKTAR aims to develop models for irrigation, fertilization and spectral signatures of crops in Inner Anatolia. By the end of the project precision agriculture practices to control irrigation, fertilization, pesticide and estimation of crop yield will be developed. Analyzing the phenology of crops using NDVI is critical for the projects. For this reason, absolute radiometric calibration of the Red and NIR bands in space-based satellite sensors is an important issue. The Göktürk-2 satellite is an earth observation satellite which was designed and built in Turkey and was launched in 2012. The Göktürk-2 satellite sensor has a resolution 2.5 meters in panchromatic and 5 meters in R/G/B/NIR bands. The absolute radiometric calibration of the Göktürk-2 satellite sensor was performed via the ground-based measurements - spectra-radiometer, sun photometer, and meteorological station- in Tuz Gölü cal/val site in 2015. In this paper, the first ground-based absolute radiometric calibration results of the Göktürk-2 satellite sensor using Tuz Gölü is demonstrated. The absolute radiometric calibration results of this paper are compared with the published cross-calibration results of the Göktürk-2 satellite sensor utilizing Landsat 8 imagery. According to the experimental comparison results, the Göktürk-2 satellite sensor coefficients for red and NIR bands estimated in this work sustained to agree within 2% of calibration coefficients estimated in the cross-calibration results.

The measures envisaged by the GLONASS Federal Target Program for 2021-2030 to improve the domestic navigation system will be able to increase its accuracy several times. About this agency RIA News Director of VNIIFTRI S. Donchenko announced the day before.
In particular, it is planned to create the so-called "seamless navigation", which will combine all the available types of navigation. Such a system will be able to provide the consumer with the most accurate coordinates, regardless of current conditions. For example, outside the satellite visibility range (inside buildings or in tunnels), alternative methods for calculating the location of an object will be automatically activated.
In addition, the accuracy of GLONASS will be enhanced through integration with navigation systems built on the basis of magnetic and gravitational anomalies, as well as thanks to new satellites, which are planned to be put into orbit in the current decade. Moreover, earlier сообщалосьThat 15 devices will replenish the group by the end of 2022.
At the moment, the domestic navigation system can determine the coordinates of the object with an accuracy of nine meters. However, according to Donchenko, the aforementioned events will be able to increase this indicator to one meter.

it is visible from that function and from all functions that are
called (all higher contexts). For example, suppose a function
f defines a variable
and then calls function g. Then
function g can reference
a. But once f returns,
a goes out of scope.
For example, the following code will print out 5.
The function g cannot be called on the
top level (outside f as
will not be defined).
function f() = (a:=5; g()); function g() = print(a); f();
If you define a variable inside a function it will override any variables defined in calling functions. For example, we modify the above code and write:
function f() = (a:=5; g()); function g() = print(a); a:=10; f();
ato 5 inside f does not change the value of
aat the top (global) level, so if you now check the value of
ait will still be 10.
Function arguments are exactly like variables defined inside the function, except that they are initialized with the value that was passed to the function. Other than this point, they are treated just like all other variables defined inside the function.
Functions are treated exactly like variables. Hence you can locally redefine functions. Normally (on the top level) you cannot redefine protected variables and functions. But locally you can do this. Consider the following session:
genius> function f(x) = sin(x)^2 = ('(x)=(sin(x)^2)) genius> function f(x) = sin(x)^2 = ('(x)=(sin(x)^2)) genius> function g(x) = ((function sin(x)=x^10);f(x)) = ('(x)=((sin:=('(x)=(x^10)));f(x))) genius> g(10) = 1e20
Functions and variables defined at the top level are
considered global. They are visible from anywhere. As we
said the following function f
will not change the value of
a to 5.
a=6; function f() = (a:=5); f();
ato the value 3 you could call:
The set function always sets the toplevel global. There is no way to set a local variable in some function from a subroutine. If this is required, must use passing by reference.
So to recap in a more technical language: Genius operates with different numbered contexts. The top level is the context 0 (zero). Whenever a function is entered, the context is raised, and when the function returns the context is lowered. A function or a variable is always visible from all higher numbered contexts. When a variable was defined in a lower numbered context, then setting this variable has the effect of creating a new local variable in the current context number and this variable will now be visible from all higher numbered contexts.
There are also true local variables, which are not seen from anywhere but the current context. Also when returning functions by value it may reference variables not visible from higher context and this may be a problem. See the sections True Local Variables and Returning Functions.

The potential ecological impacts of anaerobic degradation of vegetable oil on freshwater sediments were investigated. Sediment toxicity was evaluated using two regulatory biotests: the Microtox® Solid Phase Test and an amphipod (Hyalella azteca) bioassay. The results of the Microtox test showed that the toxicity of the vegetable-oil-contaminated sediments (about 17–33 g oil/kg dry sediments) increased after 2 weeks incubation and then decreased to near background levels after incubation for 8 weeks under anaerobic conditions. The amphipod toxicity bioassay showed that the toxicity of fresh contaminated sediments decreased over time and returned to background levels within 8 weeks. These results suggest that the impact of vegetable oils on organisms within sediments may be limited. To account for the significance of environmental conditions, additional studies over a wide range of incubation conditions (e.g., temperature, nutrient concentration) and other test organisms at various trophic levels are recommended for both acute and chronic toxicity assessment.

Expanding V-safe COVID-19 Vaccine Pregnancy Registry
- CDC needs data on COVID-19 vaccine safety for pregnant people.
- Abt collects information about pregnancy/birth outcomes for CDC.
- Abt provides data weekly to inform CDC's analyses.
COVID-19 may put pregnant people at risk for severe illness or death, but data are limited on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for them. To monitor potential safety issues, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) created the v-safe COVID-19 Vaccine Pregnancy Registry to collect data on adverse outcomes such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and pregnancy complications. CDC's preliminary findings show that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines administered during pregnancy are safe. However, more data are needed to inform clinical and policy decisions.
Abt's call-center staff enroll vaccinated pregnant people into the registry to collect information about adverse outcomes following vaccination. Interviewers administer telephone surveys to participants once during each trimester, at the end of pregnancy, and when the newborn is three months old. Interviewers seek information about healthcare providers for the pregnant person and infant, which CDC uses to collect medical record data for a subset of registry participants. Interviewers enter all data in real-time into CDC's REDCap online data collection and management platform.
Abt generates weekly analytic datasets and call metrics dashboard reports to keep CDC apprised of study progress and provide data for ongoing analyses.

Reveals the use of direct perception in understanding Nature, medicinal plants, and the healing of human disease - Explores the techniques used by indigenous and Western peoples to learn directly from the plants themselves, including those of Henry David Thoreau, Goethe, and Masanobu Fukuoka, author of The One Straw Revolution - Contains leading-edge information on the heart as an organ of perception All ancient and indigenous peoples insisted their knowledge of plant medicines came from the plants themselves and not through trial-and-error experimentation. Less well known is that many Western peoples made this same assertion. There are, in fact, two modes of cognition available to all human beings--the brain-based linear and the heart-based holistic. The heart-centered mode of perception can be exceptionally accurate and detailed in its information gathering capacities if, as indigenous and ancient peoples asserted, the heart's ability as an organ of perception is developed. Author Stephen Harrod Buhner explores this second mode of perception in great detail through the work of numerous remarkable people, from Luther Burbank, who cultivated the majority of food plants we now take for granted, to the great German poet and scientist Goethe and his studies of the metamorphosis of plants. Buhner explores the commonalities among these individuals in their approach to learning from the plant world and outlines the specific steps involved. Readers will gain the tools necessary to gather information directly from the heart of Nature, to directly learn the medicinal uses of plants, to engage in diagnosis of disease, and to understand the soul-making process that such deep connection with the world engenders.

Oppose High Risk Energy
Advocate for Climate ActionOverview
What's the first step to getting out of a hole? Stop digging. Right now our nation is in a big hole, with an economy based on fossil fuels like coal and other high-risk energy sources like nuclear power. For decades, utilities and leaders in the Southeast have devoted their attention to high-risk energy sources, while keeping energy efficiency and renewables on the back burner.
High risk energy choices are energy options that contribute to global warming pollution, such as coal-fired power plants, or those that pose threats to public health and safety, such as nuclear power plants. These risky energy choices endanger our economy, health, security, water resources, and the environment.
We can overcome our energy challenges by investing in our clean energy opportunities. Increasing energy efficiency and expanding renewable energy throughout the Southeast are the safest, cleanest and most fiscally responsible options we have. But we won't get there by continuing to rely on high-risk energy choices. With limited resources to invest in new energy infrastructure, the Southeast, should maximize potential from energy efficiency and renewable energy first. The stakes are too high to squander limited resources and valuable time.
Current Initiatives


Is it better a hot water or cold water high pressure cleaner?
Thanks to hot water high pressure cleaner it is possible to remove also grease or oily residues from engines. The cleaning time is short and the surfaces dry more quickly. The cold water removes all types of dirt and can be used for all types of applications.
Turbo nozzle: the best when?
Combining the strength of concentrated high pressure jet to rotary motion, allowing you to work on large surface, turbo nozzle is ideal to remove toughest dirt.
Is it possible to use inlet warm water?
In the case of cold water high pressure cleaners, to prevent damages to the mechanical parts, the maximum inlet water temperature allowed is no more that 40 °C. We would like to remind that hot water high pressure cleaners, in addition to temperatures close to 100 °C, can work obviously with cold water only.
What are the factors influencing the cleaning quality of a pressure cleaner?
The main factor is the physical action of the high pressure flow rate, mechanical and impact action on the surface.; the second factor is the use of hot water, see features mentioned above; the third is the use of detergents; distance from the surface and duration of the cleaning phase are the last two factors that can affect the quality of the perfect clean.

MPS 2020.2 Help
Diagramming Editor
The diagramming support in MPS allows the language designers to provide graphical editors to their concepts. The diagrams typically consist of blocks, represented by boxes, and connectors, represented by lines connecting the boxes. Both blocks and connectors are visualization of nodes from the underlying model.
Diagramm
Ports (optional) are predefined places on the shapes of the blocks, to which connectors may be attached to. MPS allows for two types of ports - input and output ones.
Optionally, a palette of available blocks may be displayed on the side of the diagram, so the user could quickly pick the type of the box they need to add to the diagram.
Adding elements
Blocks get added by double-clicking in a free area of the editor. The type of the block is chosen either by activating the particular block type in the palette or by choosing from a popup completion menu that shows up after clicking in the free area.
Connectors get created by dragging from an output port of a block to an input port of another or the same block.
Samples
MPS comes with bundled samples of diagramming editors. You can try the componentDependencies or the mindMaps sample projects for initial familiarization with how diagrams can be created.
Dependencies
In order to be able to define diagramming editors in your language, the language has to have the required dependencies and used languages properly set:
Used languages and developer kits
Dependencies
 - jetbrains.mps.lang.editor.diagram - the language for defining diagrams
 - jetbrains.mps.lang.editor.figures (optional) - a language for defining custom visual elements (blocks and connectors)
 - jetbrains.jetpad and jetbrains.mps.lang.editor.diagram.runtime - runtime libraries that handle the diagram rendering and behavior
Diagram definition
Let's start from the concept that should be the root of the diagram. The diagramming editor for that node will contain the diagram editor cell:
Editor cell
The diagram cell needs its content parameter to hold all the nodes that should become part of the diagram. In our case we pass in all the components (will be rendered as blocks) and their dependencies (will be rendered as connectors). The way these nodes are rendered is defined by their respective editor definitions, as explained later.
Down in the Inspector element creation handlers can be defined. These get invoked whenever a new visual block is to be created in the diagram. Each handler has several properties to set:
 - name - an arbitrary name to represent the option of creating a new element in the completion menu and in the palette
 - container - a collection of nodes that the newly created node should be added to
 - concept - the concept of the node that gets created through the handler, defaults to the type of the nodes in the container, but allows sub-types to be specified instead
 - on create - a handler that can manipulate the node before it gets added to the model and rendered in the diagram. Typically the name is set to some meaningful value and the position of the block on the screen is saved into the model.
There can be multiple element creation handlers defined.
Similarly, connector creation handlers can be defined for the diagram cell to handle connector creation. On top of the attributes already described for element creation handlers, connector creation handlers have these specific attributes:
 - can create - a concept function returning a boolean value and indicating whether a connector with the specified properties can be legally constructed and added to the diagram.
 - on create - a concept function that handles creation of a now connector.
 - the from and to parameters to these functions specify the source and target nodes (represented by a Block or a Port) for the new connection.
 - the fromId and toId parameters to these functions specify the ids of the source and target nodes (represented by a Block or a Port) for the new connection.
Elements get created when the user double-clicks in the editor. If multiple element types are available, a completion popup menu shows up.
Connectors get created when the user drags from the source block or its output port to a target block or its input port.
Palette
Pallete
The optional palette will allow developers to pick a type of blocks and links to create whenever double-clicking or dragging in the diagram. The palette is defined for diagram editor cells and apart from specifying the creation components allows for visual grouping and separating of the palette items..
Blocks
The concepts for the nodes that want to participate in diagramming as blocks need to provide properties that will preserve useful diagramming qualities, such as x/y coordinates, size, color, title, and so on.
Diagram properties
Additionally, the nodes should provide input and output ports, which connectors can visually connect to.
The editor will then use the diagram node cell:
Diagram node cell
The diagram node cell requires a figure to be specified. This is a reference to a figure class that defines the visual layout of the block using the jetpad framework. MPS comes with a set of pre-defined graphical shapes in the jetbrains.mps.lang.editor.figures.library solution, which you can import and use. Each figure may expose several property fields that hold visual characteristics of the figure. All the figure parameters should be specified in the editor definition, most likely by mapping them to the node's properties defined in the concept:
Diagram editor for the concept
The values for parameters may ether be references to the node's properties, or BaseLanguage expressions prepended with the # character. You can use this to refer to the edited node from within the expression.
If the node defines input and output ports, they should also be specified as parameters here so that they get displayed in the diagram. Again, to specify ports you can either refer to the node's properties or use a BaseLanguage expression prepended with the # character.
Custom figures
Alternatively you can define your own figures. These are BaseLanguage classes implementing the jetbrains.jetpad.projectional.view.View interface (or its descendants) and annotated with the @Figure annotation. Use the @FigureParameter annotation to demarcate property fields, such as widthheight, and so on.
myCell
The MovableContentView interface provides additional parameters to the figure class:
MovableContentView
By studying jetbrains.mps.lang.editor.figures.library you may get a better understanding of the jetpad library and its inner workings.
Connectors
The nodes that will be represented by connectors do not need to preserve any diagramming properties. As of version 3.1 connectors cannot be visually customized and will be always rendered as a solid black line. This will most likely change in one of the following versions of MPS.
Connectors
The editor for the node needs to contain a diagram connector cell:
Diagram connector cell
The cell requires a source and a target for the connector. These can either be ports:
Connector settings
or nodes themselves:
Connector settings
The values may again be direct references to node's properties or BaseLanguage expressions prepended with the # character.
Rendering ports
Input and output ports should use the input port and output port editor cells, respectively. The rendering of ports cannot be customized in MPS 3.1, but will be most likely enabled in later versions.
Using implicit ports
In some situations you will not be able to represent ports directly in the model. You'll only want to use blocks and connectors, but ports will have to be somehow derived from the model. This case can easily be supported:
 1. Decide on the representation of ports. Each port will be represented by a unique identifier, such as number or a string
 2. Have the concept for the blocks define behavior methods that return collections of identifiers - separately for input and output ports
 Defining behavior
 3. Use the methods to provide the inputPorts and outputPorts parameters to the DiagramNode editor cell
 methods of the DiagramNode
 4. In the connector editor cell refer to the block's node as source and target. Append the requested id after the # symbol
 connector reference

The IFA is proud to announce Professor Jonathan Brown's selection for the prestigious Bernardo de Galvez Prize in recognition of his pioneering work in the study of Spanish Golden Age painting, along with his decades of contributions to the intercultural dialogue between Spain and the United States, and the accessibility and appreciation of Spanish visual culture in the US. Professor Brown's work on Spanish painting focuses not only on the historical context and aesthetic aspects of these works, but on the keys to their conservation and restoration which have been essential to their proper care and preservation.
Professor Brown is one of the world's foremost authorities on the work of Velazquez and is also an expert in such Spanish masters as Murillo, Ribera and El Greco.
The Bernardo de Galvez Prize is an annual award given by the Fundación Consejo España-Estados (the Spain-US Council), a non-profit organization started in 1997 to facilitate reciprocal exchange between the societies of both nations. The award honors Bernardo de Galvez, who was a prominent diplomat, military figure and Governor of the Territory of Louisiana under the Spanish crown. He is remembered for providing essential supplies and ammunitions to the United States during the Revolutionary War.

On May 30, 2022, Provincial Science & Technology Center (PSTC) - Laguna invited the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers of the Philippines Inc. – East Laguna Chapter to conduct Basic Electrical Safety Awareness Training for Science and Technology's Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) and Grants-in-Aid (GIA) assisted MSMEs in observance with National Electrical Safety Month. The training rendered was led by their Chapter President, Engr. Raniel Louie W. Mendiola together with Engr. Ferdinand Marcelo L. Abanto, Vice President Internal and Engr. Mohamadzali G. Bandao, Chapter Treasurer.
During the training, the technical speakers discussed the importance of having electrical practitioners as employees or consultants in a company to assure that the company has a safe and compliant electrical system. Their discussion touched on the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) for the safe installation of electrical equipment and wiring that also covers basic materials quality and electrical work standards for the safe use of electricity for light, heat, power, communications, signaling, and other purposes.
Engr. Mendiola, defined an electrical hazard as a dangerous condition such that contact or equipment failure can result in electric shock, arc-flash burn, thermal burn, or blast. He showed some examples of electrical hazards that can be seen in a workplace. He also played video clips showing the results of electrical hazards in the workplace such as burns, blasts, explosions, electrocution, fires, loss of property, and even loss of lives.
Likewise, Engr. Bandao tackled the importance of observing all electrical safety requirements and practices. He enumerated some good practices in attaining an electrically safe working place such as taking electrical risk assessment, training safety workers, and good electrical safety management. He ended his presentation with the Hierarchy of Health and Safety Controls based on effectiveness.
Lastly, Engr. Abanto presented the response in the event of an electrical accident. Wherein he tackled the importance of having a safe and compliant electrical system. He also gave the different Personal Protective Equipment depending on the exposure in electrical works. He also gave the importance of having a qualified person to handle the electrical system and electrical equipment in the workplace. He taught the contact release training wherein he gave the procedures on how to respond in an emergency such as an electrical hazard.
The technical speakers challenged the participants to exert further efforts in providing familiarization amongst their respective company personnel regarding the location of the source of the electricity including outlets, circuit breakers, fuse box, and general/main switch. They likewise reminded the participants to be electrically safe not only in the workplace but also at home.
Electricity is a very serious hazard in every workplace and can cause significant injuries, loss of property, and even death. Electrical hazards are not something that everyone is aware of and knowledgeable about that's why it is imperative to have a basic electrical safety training like this at the minimum so that our beneficiaries develop an awareness of the importance of electrical safety and avoid potential electrical hazards in working place.
