white el·e·phant [noun] a possession that is useless or troublesome, especially one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of.
Gifts are typically inexpensive, humorous items or used items from home. The term white elephant refers to a gift whose maintenance costs exceed its usefulness. While the first use of this term remains a matter of contention among historians, one theory suggests that Ezra Cornell brought the term into the popular lexicon through his frequent social gatherings as early as 1828.
Quite simple, bring something to re-gift, is a gag, or might be coveted and useful. It is nice to have a variety of gifts to steal from. Make sure it is wrapped. Don't hint as to what it is, and there is no high or low limit to worth for the exchange – whatever works.
In its most basic form, the game is as follows:
- Each participant supplies one wrapped gift. The gifts are placed in a central location, and everyone takes a random number to determine to order of gift choosing.
- The first person opens a wrapped gift, and the turn ends.
- On subsequent turns, each person can open a new present OR gets the choice to "steal" another person's gift.
- The gift cannot be stolen once the third participant touches the gift (i.e. – it is stolen for the 2nd time). When a person's gift is stolen, that person can either choose another wrapped gift to open or can steal from another player.
- The game is over when the last person goes and the first person goes again (BUT see variations below).
- Only two steals of a gift can happen and it becomes frozen.
- No gift may be stolen more than once per turn, so NO STEAL BACKS per turn – a new item must be stolen or unwrapped.
- Since the first player is the only one without the option of seeing any unwrapped gifts, s/he will take one final turn after all gifts have been opened and swap with any "unfrozen" gift.

Lladró King Richard, 1970
Lladró Porcelain Chessmen (4833) representing King Richard's Court. These elegant Medieval Chessmen were produced by the well known and respected Spanish Porcelain Company, Lladró. This set of polychrome chessmen features a 7″ King with a 2.4″ diameter base. The underside of each of the chess pieces bears markings from the factory and the sculptor.
These Lladró chessmen were modeled after Richard the Lionheart. Richard I, who stood a towering 6′-5′ tall, was King of England from 1189 until his death on April 6, 1199, in Châlus, France. He also ruled as Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine and Gascony, Lord of Cyprus, Count of Poitiers, Anjou, Maine, and Nantes, and was overlord of Brittany at various times during this time. The Issue year for this series is prior to 1972. The sculptor is Juan Ignacio Aliena. Although created in the twentieth century, these designs are influenced by the style of Europe's Mannerist period (c. 1520–1600). The paintings of El Greco and other Spanish Mannerist artists featured people with characteristics typical of Lladró figurines.

LED floor lamp, also known as LED ground lamp or buried lamp, is a lighting facility embedded in the ground. Lanterns illuminate the ground and vegetation on the ground, which can make the landscape more beautiful and pass safely. At present, LED energy-saving light source is widely used. Ground lamps need waterproof joints, silica gel sealing rings, tempered glass, waterproof, dust-proof, leakage-proof and corrosion-resistant.
At present, most floor lamps or ground lamps use LED as light source, which has a long life and can reach more than 100,000 hours. Because of its low voltage, it is very suitable for solar floor lamps.
LED can control the color, change the light distribution, and create dynamic dreams. Therefore, it is especially suitable for solar lawn lamps.
Solar LED Ground Light is widely used for family grass land, it's convenient to be fitted anywhere, no wires and no power needed.

text: This is going to be another tutorial on a very cute Pokemon that has been looking adorable since forever. How would all of you like to learn "how to draw Mudkip", step by step? I know he seems like such a simple Pokemon character to draw and your right he is. I really did have fun with this lesson because I used to be such a Pokemon freak back when I was 12. The phase actually lasted for a while and because of that I had a lot of Pokemon cards, plushies, Pokemon balls and even a bunch of VHS movies of the series. The only thing I have left from all that stuff I used to own is the movies. Anyways let's talk about Mudkip for a minute shall we? First off Mudkips are small blue Pokemon that have sparked shaped cheeks that re orange in color. The orange cheeks are their gills and they also have a blue fish like fin on top of their heads. The tail is a lighter blue and looks very much like their head fin. The Mudkip is water-type specie of Pokemon and when they reach level sixteen they evolve into Marshtomp. These Pokemon have a strong sense of protection toward their kind and because of that they like to form groups to combine their powers to defeat and intimidate their enemies. Since they are water specie they live and thrive in swamps and other wetlands that have lots of vegetation like marshes. Brock (Ash's buddy) owns a Marshtomp that he had since it was a baby Mudkip. The hatchling was offered to Brock when Old Man Swamp told Brock to sit and watch Mudkip hatch. These adorable Pokemon have a laid back personality and they are quite strong as well. I know you guys will have fun learning how to draw Mudkip from Pokemon step by step. This tutorial was a filled request, and I hope to do a lot more in the future. I will be back again so stay tuned.

Factors Affecting Specific Gravity of Potatoes
Spectrum Analytic Inc
This article discusses some of the factors that can affect the specific gravity of potatoes.
Some work has shown an association between chloride (Cl) application and decreased specific gravity. However, other literature indicates that potatoes are more sensitive than many crops to shortages of chloride. Producers who suspect that excessive chlorides may be a problem should consider using potassium sulfate vs. potassium chloride for K2O.
Excess or insufficient soil moisture can lower specific gravity. Optimum moisture availability as tubers approach maturity can increase specific gravity.
Vine kill at peak physiological maturity increases specific gravity, and killing vines slowly with chemicals increases specific gravity compared to a quick kill by physical means.
Short day lengths during tuber formation contribute to higher specific gravity, so adjusting planting dates to take advantage of this can be beneficial.
While high levels of available Calcium (Ca) has not been proven to directly affect the specific gravity of potatoes, it has been shown to play a major role in improving several other "quality" factors in potatoes. Calcium is a structural component of cell walls. Adequate Ca, therefore, contributes to the structural integrity of plant cells. Potatoes low in Ca will have an increased susceptibility to internal brown spot and soft rot disease in tubers. In the studies where additional Ca reduced these problems, gypsum was applied at rates of 500 and 750 lb./acre in the root zone. High levels of available Ca has also been shown to improve potato skin-set.

I am currently trying to generate random IDs for dwm1001 devices. I've tried the typical way of number generation using srand(time(NULL)), however, I keep getting the following:
I tried to find and try out other solutions, but none of them worked. Is there a way to generate numbers, or to fix this problem?
Looks like you issue isn't with the rand function itself, it's with seeding the random number generator so you don't get the same numbers every time.
Any other semi-random source you could use? If there is any external interaction (user key press, signing on to a network etc…) then they would introduce enough variability that using the time since startup in microseconds or any smaller units would work. You could even read the current time from the DW1000, that will give you a high rate clock that it doesn't take much of a difference in startup time to get a different value from.
If you have an analog input then set it to roughly mid rail using some large resistors so the result is noisy. Read it 32 times, use the least significant bits from each reading to generate a number to seed rand() with.
I tried using the clock ticks as the seed and performing some operations on it, but I kept on getting the same results. Giving an input is not really ideal for my case, since i want to connect the devices to external power sources. One thing I am currently trying to do is generate an ID on the initiator's side, and sending it back to the responders.
Without some external source to give you randomness it can be tricky to get a random number. It's almost as if they want computers to be repeatable and deterministic.
Maybe look for variabilities in crystal frequencies. Read the DW internal time, wait a fixed time on your processor clock (longer is better if possible) and then read the DW time again. Take the difference in the two DW times. (Or maybe just read the DW time once, you may get some variability due to PLL lock times being different).
While the difference won't be huge you should get some small variation each time you do this process due to the two clocks running at very slightly different speeds and that speed difference being related to things like the temperatures of the two crystals. The same unit won't see much variation each time but you should get a bigger variation between two units.
You'd need to test to see how much variability this gives but it should be good for a few bits of randomness in the least significant bits. Then repeat a couple of times to give more bits.
Thats quite an interesting way to approach this problem. I'll be sure to give it a try if my other solution is not too practical.
Thank you for this information and for your help!

While it may not seem significant at first, sexing your pet crested gecko is actually important from the point of view of not just breeding but also potential cohabitation and dietary requirements.
Plus, isn't it actually interesting to know what sex your pet crested gecko is?
Here, we look at how to sex your crested gecko and why.
Why Sex Your Crested Gecko?
Sexing your crested gecko will play an important role in your plan ahead as a pet owner in terms of breeding, cohabitation, and diet of your pet crested gecko.
While most other fundamental needs of crested geckos are pretty much the same regardless of their sex, things like whether or not you should let your crested geckos cohabitate will depend heavily on their sex.
Reason 1 – Breeding
If you want to venture into the arena of breeding your crested geckos, the first and foremost thing you will need to know is the sex of your crested geckos.
You will, by default, need one of your crested geckos to be a female, while the other, be a male. And the only way of knowing which one is which, will be by knowing how to sex your crested geckos.
Reason 2 – Cohabitation
Some pet owners of reptiles, especially species like the crested gecko, are interested in letting their pets cohabitate. If you happen to be one of those, then it is pertinent for you to know the sex of your crested geckos.
You can never house two male crested geckos in the same enclosure. It will always lead to fights over territory and resources. Both of your crested geckos will end up harming and injuring each other.
On the other hand, you can easily house two or more female crested geckos in a single enclosure, provided that the enclosure is big enough for all the crested geckos to have their own spots for warming up, cooling down, eating, drinking water, etc.
You can house a male and a female crested gecko, but you will need to monitor them consistently and regularly.
It is obvious that in such a pairing, mating will become a regular activity. But you will need to ensure that the male crested gecko does not bully the female crested gecko or show physical aggression towards her.
So, cohabitation needs a lot of planning and monitoring. And the first step in it is to know the sex of your crested geckos.
Reason 3 – Diet Planning
Your female crested gecko will need a diet that is denser in nutrients, especially calcium. Female crested geckos lay eggs with or without mating.
It is a part of their normal bodily cycles. The eggs laid without mating are naturally infertile. Nevertheless, it takes a toll on the calcium reserves in the body of the female crested gecko.
This makes female crested geckos more prone to developing fatal illnesses like metabolic bone disorder.
Knowing the sex of your crested gecko will therefore allow you to make more informed choices about the diet of your pet.
4 Ways of Sexing Adult Crested Geckos
The first and foremost thing you need to do before sexing your crested gecko is to wait until the right age.
While you can differentiate between the two sexes of crested geckos as early as 4 months of age, you should hold off the sexing process until your crested gecko is at least 6 to 9 months old.
This is because regardless of the method you use to sex your crested gecko, it will require you to handle your pet.
And it is highly recommended that you do not handle your pet until it is at least 6 months of age – younger crested geckos tend to be more skittish and physically weaker. So, when held, they may suddenly jump off your hand and injure themselves by landing improperly on a hard surface.
That being out of the way, there are 4 ways of sexing adult crested geckos:
Identifying the hemipenal bulges.
This is the easiest way of sexing your crested gecko – and it requires the least handling.
All you have to do is either hold your crested gecko a little above your head or place it in a clear and transparent bowl or container. Then, with a torch, visually inspect the region near its vent and at the base of its tail.
If your crested gecko has bulges in that region, then it is a male crested gecko. Those bulges are the bubble-shaped cloaca in which the male crested geckos keep their two hemipenes stored until it is time to mate.
If there is no hemipenal or bubble-shaped bulge near the vent, your crested gecko is very likely a female.
Identifying the pre-anal pores.
This is another way of identifying the sex of your crested gecko. In a fashion similar to the one mentioned above, you will need to either hold your crested gecko high up or place it in a clean and transparent bowl or container.
Carefully observe the region just above your crested gecko's vent, between its legs. If you notice a small, horizontal line of pores that are barely visible, your crested gecko is a male.
These pores will allow your crested gecko to secrete pheromones to attract female crested geckos when it is time to mate.
If, on the other hand, there is no such line of pores visible, your crested gecko is a female.
Size of the body and the head.
This is more of a confirmatory process than an actual standalone way of sexing your crested gecko. If, by using the two aforementioned ways, you have clarity about the sex of your crested gecko, then inspecting the general size of the body and head of your pet will allow you to confirm your findings.
As is the case with most animals, the male crested gecko will be larger and broader in size when compared to a female crested gecko.
Talk to a vet with expertise in crested geckos.
When all else fails and you are still unsure or unsatisfied with your findings, you should turn to a professional with experience. Talk to the vet of your crested gecko and they will be able to find out the sex of your pet for you.
They won't exactly use any different methods – they will just have a keener eye and all the necessary tools required for hassle-free sexing of your crested gecko.
Is Crested Gecko Gender Temperature-Dependent?
No, the gender of a crested gecko is not temperature-dependent.
A common misconception that floats around a lot is that if you incubate the eggs of a crested gecko at a higher temperature, you will get more males as opposed to females at lower temperatures.
That is untrue. The temperature of the incubator is important for the health of your crested gecko eggs – but they do not determine the gender of the hatchlings.
So, never increase or decrease the temperature of your crested gecko's incubator beyond the thresholds. The ideal temperature for the incubator is between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can a Crested Gecko Change Its Gender?
No, a crested gecko cannot change its gender. The gender of a crested gecko, much like the gender of most animals, is determined at birth and remains the same for the rest of its life.
What can cause confusion, however, is sexing a crested gecko when it is still very young. Some breeders and sellers may make false claims about selling male or female crested gecko hatchlings or babies.
You should not fall for those claims because the sex of a crested gecko can only be confirmed after your crested gecko reaches an age of 9 or 10 months.
So, if you bought a female baby crested gecko, but are now realizing that your crested gecko is actually a male – your pet hasn't changed its gender. It was never a female crested gecko, to begin with.
How Old Does My Crested Gecko Need To Be?
In order for you to sex your crested gecko accurately, your pet needs to be at least 9 to 10 months old.
What Size Can You Sex A Crested Gecko?
You can sex a crested gecko when it is roughly 6 to 9 inches in size and weighs somewhere between 16 and 35 grams.
Sexing your crested gecko has numerous benefits in terms of cohabitation, breeding, and diet planning. Knowing how and when to sex your crested gecko will help you know the gender of your pet accurately.
Do not fall for false claims of the sex of crested geckos by breeders or sellers who claim to sell baby female or baby male crested geckos.
The sex of a crested gecko can only be accurately identified when it is around 9 months of age, 6 to 9 inches in size, and somewhere between 16 to 35 grams in weight.

The poverty impact of climate change in Mexico
This paper examines the effects of climate change on poverty through the relationship between indicators of climate change (temperature and rainfall change) and municipal level gross domestic product, and subsequently between gross domestic product and poverty. The evidence suggests that climate change could have a negative impact on poverty by 2030. The paper proposes a two-stage least squares regression where it first regresses temperature and rainfall (along with geographic controls and state and year fixed effects) on municipal gross domestic product per capita for 2000 and 2005 The resulting gross domestic product per capita is used in a second equation to estimate municipal poverty on the same years.
The authors then incorporate projections of temperature and rainfall changes by 2030 into the estimated climate-gross domestic product coefficients to assess the effects of climate change in economic activity and how this in turn will influence poverty. At the same time, they account for the potential adaptive capacity of municipalities through higher population densities and economic growth. Both would reduce poverty by 31.72 percentage points between 2005 and 2030 with changing climate. However, poverty could have been reduced up to 34.15 percentage points over the same period had there been no climate change. This suggests that climate change slows down the pace of poverty reduction. An alternative reading is that poverty is expected to increase from 15.25 percent (without climate change) to 17.68 percent (with climate change) by 2030. Given the existing population projections for 2030, this represents 2,902,868 people remaining in poverty as a result of climate change.

This article explores the potential role of low-wage service sector unions in engaging in equity-minded school reform. The members of many such unions are parents of children attending poorly resourced public schools. In seeking to address the interests of their members, labor unions can draw upon resources, organizing strategies, and political relationships to contribute to grassroots campaigns for educational equity. Data gathered in Los Angeles from labor and civic leaders, as well as janitors belonging to the Service Employees International Union Local 1877, reveal possibilities for low-wage service sector unions to build alliances around educational reform issues and support their members' individual capacities to advocate for their own children in schools. At the same time, low-wage service sector unions face challenges to participating in school reform efforts, including prioritizing education issues among other competing interests and identifying common ground with teachers' unions.

To type tone numbers for the romanizations, use the number keys 1–5 on the keyboard. Note that v = ü, and Hanin does not adhere to the standard practice of dropping the diaeresis from ü in all cases except nü, nüe, lü, lüe. Jü, jüe, and qü, qüe are retained as well.
Typing without tone numbers does not work (only the first-tone choices are listed). Use the "Pronunciation" search mode (see below) for lists of the other three tones.
Try typing an expression. In the example below, I am typing fei1ji1 (airplane). Notice how the fei1 character is initially inappropriate, but the correct character is automatically selected as soon as the tone for ji1 is typed:

If Hanin makes a transformation that is undesired, you can press escape [esc] to undo the transformation:
Demo 2
Automatic character selection only works for words and phrases that are entered in a single input session. Once you press [return], the characters are sent to the application, and Hanin is no longer aware of them.
You can also select characters manually by pressing space after typing in a character. This will bring up the Character Selection window:
Character Selection Window
Demo 3
This window is powerful, but easy to learn to use. It has two elements, the Button Bar across the top of the window and the Character List below it.
Using the Button Bar
The two magnifying glass buttons represent two search modes, each of which works differently in concert with the the up/down arrow buttons:
 - The left-side magnifying glass on the left is the default search mode. The up/down arrow buttons allow you to navigate to the previous/next page of the character list, and the numbers to the right of the up/down arrow buttons indicate the current page number in the character list table and the total number of pages. In the above example, we are on page 1 of 1. If you resize the window, the total number of pages can change, within limits. The maximum size is 5 rows and 10 columns per page, the minimum is 1 row and 6 columns per page. In the above example, the window is sized to display 1 row and 7 columns.
 - The right-side magnifying glass (with a little blue "p") is for single-character searches based on pronunciation. In this mode, the up/down arrow buttons allow you to navigate from one pronunciation to the next. The alternatives are determined by tone and Zhuyin spelling order even when you are working in Pinyin.
For example, when you type in ji or ji1 in the default search mode, the character list for first-tone ji appears. Not finding the character you want, click on the right-side magnifying glass, and eight pages of alternative Pinyin pronunciations are made available (ü=v): jü1, qi1, qü1, ji2 (two pages), ji3, ji4 (two pages). Thus you are presented with same-tone pronunciations phonetically similar to ji1 (jü1, qi1, qü1), and then phonetic matches with different tones (ji2, ji3, ji4). The current page's pronunciation is displayed to the right of the magnifying glass buttons, as seen in the example below:
Navigating the Character List
Character list
 - Press the escape key [esc] to leave the selector and leave the character unchanged.
 - Press [return] to select the character that is currently highlighted.
 - Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move through the list and find the character you want. Press [return] to input it.
 - If you see the character you want, type the letter for its row (if necessary) and the number for its column. This automatically inputs the character.
 - Use the mouse to select the character you want. Press [return] or double-click to input it.

Efficient consumer response (ECR) is an approach to supply and demand that focuses on identifying what a customer wants and then marrying the elements of the information and supply chains with those wants. The process normally extends through the fulfillment stage, ensuring that customers are delivered the goods and services they purchase in a matter that is perceived as timely and efficient.
At the heart of efficient consumer response is properly assessing consumer demand and tailoring the demand management process to meet customer expectations. For example, if the average consumer of a given soda product wants to purchase at least a dozen units of the product each week, the manufacturer will make sure production levels are high enough to meet that demand. In addition, the manufacturer will make sure the soda is delivered to retailers in a timely manner, so that consumers do not have to wait when they want to make a purchase.
While the exact methodology involved in efficient consumer response will vary slightly from one setting to another, there are a few core principles that tend to apply in any situation. First, the process of creating and supply products must be consistent. Failure to do so runs the risk of not being able to meet customer expectations, which in turn will prompt the consumer to seek other avenues of fulfilling those wants and needs. For this reason, producers must accurately gauge the current demand for a given product, and make sure the production quotas consistently provide finished goods that meet that level of demand.
Another important component of efficient consumer response is making sure the manufactured products are readily available to consumers in quantities they consider desirable. Should a customer be unable to purchase the desired number of units, he or she may choose to go with a competitor product that is in ample supply. When this happens, the client may choose to stick with the new product and never come back even when the supply is increased.
The process of efficient consumer response also involves balancing production costs with the unit pricing paid by consumers. Here, the goal is to set the unit price at a level considered attractive by the consumer, and competitive with the pricing offered on similar products. At the same time, the unit price must be sufficient to cover the total cost of providing the goods or services to consumers, while also allowing the business to make some sort of profit off the operation. Constant review of this component is necessary, since fluctuations in the cost of raw materials, changes in consumer tastes, and a number of other factors may provide justification for adjusting the unit price upward or downward.

text: The Archean Fiskenaesset complex contains low concentrations of Pt, Pd, and Rh in comparison with the Stillwater Complex, Montana, but variations in these concentrations with stratigraphic height show trends related to the results of igneous differentiation, even though most of the rocks have been metamorphosed and the complex has been fragmented by granitoid intrusions and repeatedly deformed. Pt, Pd, and Rh are concentrated in ultramafic rocks and chromitites, but relatively high concentrations also occur locally in anorthosite and leucogabbro which are rich in disseminated sulfides. The concentrations of Pt and Pd are inversely related: the Pt:Pd + Pt ratio tends to increase upward. The Rh: Pd + Pt + Rh shows less variation but tends to increase slightly in the upper part of the intrusion. A new fire-assay atomic absorption method was developed to analyze the low concentrations of these metals present in the Fiskenaesset complex, and this method is described.

Worms Detect Cancer by Scent
By Iva Fedorka
You may have read stories about cats and dogs that seem to sense when someone is sick. Now, scientists are studying whether small worms can use chemosensation to detect early disease processes.
If small worms could "smell" lung cancer cells, perhaps a device incorporating them could help provide an easy and painless way to screen for disease. A team from Seoul, Korea, introduced its "worm-on-a-chip" in March 2022 at a meeting of the American Chemical Society held in San Diego, California.
Choosing an Animal Model
The most likely candidate for this model is the common roundworm, Caenorhabditis elegans. Because they're about a millimeter in length, multiple worms could easily fit in a small space.
Although C. elegans cannot see or hear, their sense of smell is good. In fact, the worms have roughly the same number of genes for chemical sensing as dogs, mice, and other mammals known for their sense of smell.
Shin Sik Choi, a biotechnologist who helped develop the system at Myongji University in Seoul, South Korea, thinks scent is the likely source of the worms' attraction to cancer cells. This is because the diseased cells release odor molecules. "In nature," he explained to Science News for Students, "a rotten apple on the ground is the best place where we are able to find the worms."
The Sense of Smell
Which scents stimulate C. elegans nerve cells? Choi and his team tested some volatile organic compounds or VOCs produced by cancer cells and identified floral-scented 2-ethyl-1-hexanol as a prime candidate.
The human brain has about 86 billion nerve cells or neurons, but C. elegans has only 302 nerve cells in total. Since the worm bodies are transparent, scientists can actually determine the specific nerve cell that reacts to cancer cell aromas by having it fluoresce when stimulated.
To test their hypothesis, the team used a special strain of genetically modified C. elegans with no 2-ethyl-1-hexanol receptors. While the unmodified worms preferred cancer cells over healthy ones, the modified worms did not, which may mean that 2-ethyl-1-hexanol has a role in attracting the worms to diseased cells.
Making the Screening Device
The researchers created a microscope slide-like construct with three large indentations or wells. Healthy human cells were placed in a well at one end and lung cancer cells added to a well at the other. Approximately 50 worms were put in the middle well where they could smell the cells at either end.
"About 70 percent of the worms move toward the cancer," says Choi. He also believes that percentage could be increased with training.
Choi also wants to test whether the worms can still detect cancer without being directly exposed to diseased cells. A recent study by another researcher (Scientific Reports, August 24, 2021) showed that C. elegans preferred the urine of patients with breast cancer over samples from healthy subjects.
Noninvasive screening tests that use a patient's blood, urine, or saliva may one day help detect cancer in its early stages, which would help speed diagnosis and treatment.


Everything you need to know about naming your Drupal contributed project
So you're contributing a module or theme to the greater Drupal community. Awesome! We're thrilled that you're sharing your work.
Naming your project may be one of the last things on your mind, but a poor naming choice could cause you issues down the road. Your project name ends up in a lot of places, including: Google Search Results, Drupal.org related project listings, the URL to the project, the title of your project page, Drush commands, the filenames of your project files, hook invocations in your project, and CSS classes, to name a few. A name that's used inconsistently can be confusing for users and cause integration issues.
There are several principles to consider and some are more important than others, so I've broken them into three categories: The Essentials, Strong Recommendations, and Further Suggestions.
The Essentials
Some project names are just not possible due to technical limitations of our tools and naming conventions. These rules are considered "essential" because if you break them, you'll break your site.
1. Make sure your project name is unique
This may be fairly obvious, but you cannot contribute a project that has the same name as an already existing project. Drupal.org will not accept two projects with the same project URL (and your URL should match your module name — more on that in a moment). While it's technically possible to release a duplicate module name under a different project URL, or on a completely different host (like Github), you'll be setting yourself up for failure since those two modules cannot be used concurrently without site-breaking namespace collisions. To see if a name has been claimed, try out the name in the project URL: _URL_ If a project page already exists at that path, the name has been claimed; if not, it's yours for the taking.
2. Don't use a name that conflicts with Unix filename rules or PHP function naming conventions
Your project machine name is used in the project folder and filenames, so it must be a valid Unix filename. With Drupal's hook system, your name also winds up as part of PHP function names. If anything in your name doesn't follow PHP function naming conventions, it will cause Drupal to throw errors or not recognize your module/theme. A few things you'll want to avoid are:
 - Names starting with a number
 - Hyphens in the name
 - Spaces in the name
 - Names containing double underscores (__)
 - Special characters
I know, I know, you've been dying to use that Unicode Skull and Crossbones somewhere (Rock On!!! ☠). Better to save it for something else.
Strong Recommendations
Some project names are technically possible but are really not recommended. The wrong name can lead to issues integrating with other tools, conflicts with other modules, and confusion among users.
3. Avoid underscores in your project name
Several sources, including John VanDyk's "Pro Drupal Development" recommend against using underscores in your project name. It's possible to use underscores and have no issues, but the nature of the hook system and Drupal function naming means that each underscore you use takes up an additional namespace. This creates a risk of conflicting with current or future similarly named modules.
You especially want to avoid an underscored name starting with the name of an active core or contrib module. For example, if you made a module named "views_preprocess," you would unknowingly create a conflict with the views module, because it defines a function called views_preprocess_comment(). By enabling your module, this otherwise unassuming function magically becomes an implementation of hook_comment(), resulting in broken code or other unexpected consequences.
Instead of using underscores, the standing recommendation is that you simply combine multiple words together (like "addanother," the machine name for the Add Another module). Some developers prefer this naming as a matter of coding style, since it encourages short module module names and separates the name visually from the rest of the hook invocation (think addanother_form_alter instead of add_another_form_alter). However, it may come with a readability cost (do you find the name "thisisanewmodule" difficult to read?).
4. Make sure your Drupal.org project URL matches your project name
If your project URL doesn't match your project's machine name (which is used in the project filenames and hook invocations), then automation tools like Drush or Make cannot download your project from Drupal.org. This prevents people from using it in build scripts or packaged distributions. Specifically, you might be tempted to separate words in project URL with hyphens, as is typically done in URLs. If you make this mistake (like I did) the only solution is to deprecate your project on drupal.org and start it up again at a new URL, which can be pretty inconvenient. Note: There is an open issue in the drupal.org customizations queue to prevent people from making project URLs with hyphens or other disallowed patterns. Jump in, if you want to prevent issues like these in the future.
Further Suggestions
The following rules are simply suggestions. You probably won't break things if you don't follow them, but you can prevent confusion if you do, and that's always good.
5. Keep the project name short
Long names don't work very well in some contexts, like filenames which have length restrictions on many systems. Long machine names impair code readability since camelcasing or separating words with underscores is discouraged. Plus, who wants to type out a long name every time they are trying to search for your module, or style your CSS classes? Short names are easier for humans to read, type, say, and remember.
6. Choose a name that describes what your project does
This is admittedly subjective but there is definitely a pattern in the Drupal community. Drupal module names tend to be very practical. The Block Class module, lets you add classes to Blocks. The Clientside Validation module, adds clientside form validation to webforms. The SEO Checklist module is, you guessed it, a SEO Checklist. This makes modules findable. For example, If people are searching online for a module to add classes to blocks, they're more likely to find the right module if it's named "Block Class." We want them to imagine functionality, guess what it might be named, find the module matching that name, and discover that it solves their functional issue. My opinion is that theme names don't need to be as descriptive, but they ought to at least make sense. The name "Tigerlilly" may be a fine theme name, but it probably doesn't make a good module name.
7. Choose a name with sufficient mental distance from other project names
If your module name is too similar to another module name, users are going to mix them up. You may end up getting issues in your queue for the wrong module or support requests from people who think you maintain the other one. You don't need to think too hard about this… if there's a module named "Token" don't name yours "Tokin", "Tokens", or other similar derivatives.
8. Use the same name everywhere!
I touched on this with the project URL, but it goes for anywhere you use your project name. Use the same name on the title of your project page, in your documentation, in your .info file, in your commit messages, in your CSS classes, in your blog posts... use the same name everywhere! We want our naming to be consistent across technical contexts but we also want it to be consistent in the minds and expectations of our users.
That's a lot of Caveats
If you're like me, you're probably thinking, "So let me get this straight. I can't use one of the 14,000+ names already claimed (or anything too similar to them), which really limits my options. And multi-word names are troubling because I can't use spaces, hyphens, or underscores between words, which make them difficult to read and hurts SEO on my project page. Isn't just naming things hard enough?" Yes, you're right. Drupal's large module ecosystem and the various ways to integrate them results in some naming constraints. When in doubt, look at how the core modules are named or browse through contrib and follow the examples you see. That will get you most of the way to where you need to go.

Nice tips and hat off for recognizing your mistake.
Choosing a good module name is difficult indeed, but makes your life easier in the long run.
And use your name everywhere. True. Avoid stuff like in D6 "drush dl cck" / "drush en content"

Automation with dsClient Terminal
One of the automation options provided by dsTest is controlling dsClient Terminal with scripts. This allows you to develop automation scripts in the tool of your choice and embed dsClient command execution. You can read more about all of the features provided for test automation in Automated Testing Support.
You'll find examples using several scripting languages in /usr/local/devsol/dsTest/lib/.
The –c option enables you to specify a command as part of invoking dsClient:
dsClient -c
In this usage dsClient executes the specified command, prints any response received from dsTest to standard out and then exits.
Note that the dsTest commands must be enclosed in quotes if there is a space character in the command.
dsClient -c "hlr:example_hlr start"
starts the HLR Node named example_hlr
dsClient -c "wait 1000"
causes the a wait period of one second
dsClient -c "hlr:example_hlr action event::cancel rate::10"
starts a cancel event at the rate of 10 events per-second on the HLR node example_hlr
The following examples are commands using TCL exec:
The examples below use the variable $dsClient, which equates to /usr/local/devsol/bin/dsClient.
exec $dsClient -d -c " start"
sends a start command to the node node_name on the dsTest server at IP_address
exec $dsClient -d -c "source ConfigFile.xml"
sources the file ConfigFile.xml on the dsTest server at IP_address
exec $dsClient -d -c "diameter socket ip_address "
sets the diameter socket IP address to IP_Address_2 on the node named Node_Name on the dsTest server at IP_Address

Then, if ii) A 3kg box on the floor is lifted vertically up onto the head and then lowered down to the shoulder. The shoulder is 150cm while the top of the head is 175cm measured from the floor. The work done is -44.2 J right? due to a = -9.81 as the motion of vertically upward is opposes the motion of gravitational force right? But it is written as 44.2 J in the answer sheet. Please someone explain to me further. I'm confused between - and + value of work done. Is the - sign just indicates the opposite motion and don't need to be written as the answer or vice versa?

Study on the Measurement Method of Skin Textile Electrodes Contact Impedance
Electrode-skin impedance is strongly influencing the quality of electrocardiograms (ECG) signals. Lower impedance results in stronger signals as well as less noise disturbance. In this study, we determine contact impedance between the skin and a flexible textile electrode based on a modified poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) :poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) coating, developed in our laboratory. Cotton knitted fabrics were used to test the measurement technique. For each measurement, a pair of same electrodes in terms of size was used. To obtain a better understanding of the obtained impedance results, the contact impedance was simulated by an electronic model and hence electrode circuit model components were calculated. In order to realize a comparative study, conventional medical electrodes silver/silver chlorides (Ag/ AgCl) were also assessed. The measurement technique can be applied to any other type of electrode in contact with a skin.


ASBAssociated Student Body (ASB)
The purpose of the Associated Student Body (or ASB as it is known on campus) is to promote the welfare of the school, to encourage loyalty and school spirit, and develop leadership. Every student is a member of the association. Your ASB cabinet includes a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade representatives.
Pershing's ASB plans all aspects of various school activities. They also learn basic parliamentary procedure and group dynamics. The qualities of leadership and school service are studied and strongly developed. ASB meets after school. Mrs. Robe is the advisor for this activity.

Children in Argentina are preparing to return to schools, with select provinces set to reopen classroom doors as from this Wednesday and others to soon follow suit.
For many students, it will be the first chance for them to enjoy face-to-face classes with their teachers and peers since March last year, when educational institutions were forced to shutter their doors amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking Friday after a meeting of the Federal Council of Education (CFE), President Alberto Fernández celebrated the upcoming return of classes, saying that although it wouldn't be a normal school year, teachers were committed to providing the best education possible.
Declaring that "without health there is no present and without education there is no future," the Peronist leader said that special sanitary protocols would help to protect students and teachers alike.
"Going back to class this time will not have the characteristics of any ordinary day in March. It is a return to a class full of care, preserving the distance and closeness of teachers and students, and prioritising the health of teachers, whom we must help to get their vaccination as soon as possible," said the president, after talks with representatives from all 24 regional jurisdictions.
At a press conference after the meeting, Education Minister Nicolás Trotta said that each regional government would have to follow protocols and ensure a safe return to learning.
"The process of returning will be a permanent construction," said the head of the education portfolio, who assured that the national government would assume the "responsibility of accompanying each of the jurisdictions."
"Beyond the challenge, the conditions for presence are there," he said, adding that talks over salaries would begin soon.
Trotta also addressed when teachers would be offered vaccines, saying the imminent arrival of a new batch of Sputnik V shots from Russia would pave the way. He emphasised, however, that teachers did not need a vaccine to return to classrooms.
The City of Buenos Aires will be the first to begin classes in person this Wednesday (February 17), followed by Jujuy (February 22). Another 16 provinces will begin classes on March 1, with Misiones due to restart on March 9. Patatonian provinces will restart in the first week of March.
Some teachers unions, however, are unhappy at the decision to authorise face-to-face classes. The Ademys union said Friday that it would launch a 72-hour strike next Wednesday in protest at the poor "sanitary conditions, infrastructure and wages" facing teachers. "They push for a return of face-to-face classes while all indicators show the level of contagion is above that recommended for said opening," said the union, which argued the decision put teachers "at great risk."
The government has come under strong criticism from sectors of the opposition in recent months, who say the return of classes should have been authorised much earlier.


Construction Specs In Google Docs?
In the digital age, the right word processor can significantly impact professional sectors like architecture and construction. Two giants in this domain are Microsoft Word and Google Docs. While both offer robust features, they have distinct differences, particularly when handling intricate documents such as construction specifications.
Why Issues Arise when Transitioning Between Word and Google Docs
 1. Different Software Foundations: Microsoft Word and Google Docs are built on different software architectures, leading to inconsistencies when moving documents between the two.
 2. Advanced Features and Compatibility: Word boasts a plethora of advanced features, some of which may not be represented correctly or at all in Google Docs.
 3. Styles and Themes: Word's sophisticated system for styles and themes might be oversimplified when imported to Google Docs, causing a lack of uniformity.
 4. Embedded Objects: Elements like Excel tables from Word might not transition smoothly into Google Docs.
 5. Fonts: Google Docs might substitute specific fonts from Word that it doesn't support, altering the document's appearance.
 6. Pagination and Layout: Layout settings can shift, affecting the document's structure.
 7. Document Properties: Metadata and tracked changes could be lost or altered during the transition.
Challenges for Construction Professionals
For those dealing with hundreds of construction specifications:
 - Consistency is Key: Construction specs must be clear and uniform. Inconsistencies can lead to costly misunderstandings.
 - Time Constraints: Correcting these errors manually for numerous documents is time-consuming.
 - Potential for Errors: Misformatting can result in grave construction mistakes, leading to both time and RFI/Change Orders.
Comparing File Formats
 1. .doc vs. .docx: Microsoft transitioned from the .doc to the .docx format in 2007, with the latter offering better compatibility with modern software, efficient file sizes, and richer formatting features.
 2. Other Formats: While the .odt format (used by LibreOffice Writer) has features akin to .docx, it's not as universally accepted. The .rtf (Rich Text Format) also doesn't measure up to .docx in terms of compatibility, efficiency, and richness.
The Significance of Styles and Formatting in Construction
Beyond mere aesthetics, styles and formatting are essential in construction spes. They ensure:
 - Professionalism: Uniform formatting enhances the document's professional appeal.
 - Efficiency: Using styles can save time and reduce errors.
 - Flexibility: Styles enable swift and comprehensive changes, avoiding the hassle of manual tweaks.
Final Thoughts
When it comes to drafting construction specifications, Microsoft Word and its .docx format stand unparalleled. The choice is more than just about aesthetics; it's about ensuring clarity, precision, and compatibility. For industry professionals, while modern tools like Google Docs offer excellent collaborative features, Microsoft Word remains the unmatched tool for their intricate documentation needs. There's no 100% replacement for Microsoft Word.

Background: We are living in an era that is in general characterized by a lot of data but little
information. An enormous amount of biological data collected over several years is now presented as
annotations and databases. In this context, all this data properly combined and grouped has great
potential for enabling novel discoveries which would then, finally and hopefully, lead to advances in
biology and medicine. The inference of different kinds of relations between pathways constitutes a
challenging step towards the analysis of all these sources of biological data.
Objective: This review article aims at outlining several methods that analyze associations between
pathways starting from different sources of information, namely the internet, databases, and/or gene
Methods: The article consists of a summary of the most important methods for pathway networks
inference and arranges them according to the data they use as well as the findings they provide.
Results: The advantages and drawbacks of each considered methodology are presented, as well as a
taxonomy tree and summary table as an overview of the discussion.
Conclusion: The methods explained in this paper consist especially of those that explore the concept of
associations between pathways using microarray experimental data and/or topological or curated
information. Each strategy was introduced, classified and analyzed.
The identification of different kinds of associations between pathways plays a central role in systems
biology, revealing information which is undetectable at a gene level. Therefore, a comprehensible
understanding of the benefits and limitations of these approaches could be the key to the development of
new computational strategies for genome-wide analysis.

 @Hui...
 thanks, thats the easy part for column D, but not the solution for a sorted list of unique values from column A in column C.
 I've come up to an array formula like this in cell C2 and then copied down to the end of the list.
 =IF(ISNA(OFFSET($A$1,MATCH(0,MMULT(--TRANSPOSE(TRANSPOSE($A$1:$A$4)=C$1:C1),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROW()-1))/ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROW()-1))),0)-1,0,1,1)),"",OFFSET($A$1,MATCH(0,MMULT(--TRANSPOSE(TRANSPOSE($A$1:$A$4)=C$1:C1),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROW()-1))/ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROW()-1))),0)-1,0,1,1))
 The first match in C1 is simply a
 =min(A1:A4)
 What do you think of this solution?
 Goemon
 27. Goemon says:
 some more searching and I found a shorter formula. So column A and B are the raw data,
 in Column C I have now:
 {=IF(SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF($A$2:$A$400,$A$2:$A$400))>=ROWS($1:1),SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY($A$2:$A$400,$A$2:$A$400)>0,$A$2:$A$400),ROWS($1:1)),"")}
 to return a sorted list of unique values from column A. And Column D holds a similar formula like your suggestion:
 =IF(ISNUMBER(C2),SUMIF($A$2:$A$41,C2,$B$2:$B$41)/COUNTIF($A$2:$A$41,C2),"")
 It is a little slow for long data lists, but works well enough.
 Any idea how I get the standard deviation of multiple B values into column E?

 i have column to sort but have same value in two cell and have another column data not same i wanna to sort
 a b c d
 man 2 3 3
 girl 2 3 4
 child 1 2 2
 how to sort
 sort first by b then c then d
 29. Ariel Wong says:
 yes you can sort Excel/Libreoffice using just formulas only.
 My solution is much simpler.
 1. My unsorted numbers ( or words ) are listed horizontally. e.g. B29 – G29 ( 6 numbers ). I choose 29 so that it wont be confused with the 1 used in RANK function 😀
 2. My sorted numbers shall be in cells J29-O29.
 3. The formula for cell J29 is
 =IF(RANK($B29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$B29,IF(RANK($C29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$C29,IF(RANK($D29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$D29,IF(RANK($E29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$E29,IF(RANK($F29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$F29,IF(RANK($G29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$G29,$Q29))))))
 3. The formula for cell K29 is … just convert all the "=1? into "=2?
 4. The formula for the rest is "=3? for L29 and so on till "=6? for O29.
 5. The RANK function will rank every cell in the range. There will not be any unranked.
 6. The last part .. ,IF(RANK($G29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$G29,$Q29)
 If there are more than one same number .. meaning there are more than one number of the same rank.. it would duplicated the previous number of the same rank.
 7. To sort words, you need to first convert words into ASCII using the CODE function. The RANK function works only with numbers.
 8. I'm sure you know how to use the ROUND function after sorting.
 Hope this would help u guys.

 30. Ariel Wong says:
 yes you can sort Excel/Libreoffice using just formulas only.
 My solution is much simpler.
 1. My unsorted numbers ( or words ) are listed horizontally. e.g. B29 – G29 ( 6 numbers ). I choose 29 so that it wont be confused with the 1 used in RANK function 😀
 2. My sorted numbers shall be in cells J29-O29.
 3. The formula for cell J29 is
 =IF(RANK($B29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$B29,IF(RANK($C29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$C29,
 IF(RANK($D29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$D29,IF(RANK($E29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$E29,
 IF(RANK($F29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$F29,IF(RANK($G29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$G29,$Q29))))))
 3. The formula for cell K29 is … just convert all the "=1? into "=2?
 4. The formula for the rest is "=3? for L29 and so on till "=6? for O29.
 5. The RANK function will rank every cell in the range. There will not be any unranked.
 6. The last part .. ,IF(RANK($G29,$B29:$G29,1)=1,$G29,$Q29)
 If there are more than one same number .. meaning there are more than one number of the same rank.. it would duplicated the previous number of the same rank.
 7. To sort words, you need to first convert words into ASCII using the CODE function. The RANK function works only with numbers.

Info for this post is from the Smithsonsian article by Jess Blumberg
Dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the room that once symbolized peace was stolen by Nazis then disappeared for good.
While many Americans associate amber with the casing for dinosaur DNA in 1993's Jurassic Park, the stone has enthralled Europeans, and especially Russians, for centuries because of the golden, jewel-encrusted Amber Room, which was made of several tons of the gemstone. A gift to Peter the Great in 1716 celebrating peace between Russia and Prussia, the room's fate became anything but peaceful: Nazis looted it during World War II, and in the final months of the war, the amber panels, which had been packed away in crates, disappeared. A replica was completed in 2003, but the contents of the original, dubbed "the Eighth Wonder of the World," have remained missing for decades.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an extremely rare acquired disorder. The aim of this study was to investigate the demographics, clinical manifestations, and outcomes of PNH patients in southern Taiwan. Data on PNH patients diagnosed over a 30-year period (1985–2015) were retrospectively collected from four tertiary medical centers in southern Taiwan. Blood samples were collected for hematologic panel testing and flow cytometry detection of PNH clones. Radiologic studies were performed to assess the frequency of complications. Twenty-four patients were enrolled in this study. The median duration of disease in the study participants was 10.8 years. The median granulocyte PNH clone size was 92.5% (range, 1.3%–99.8%), and the median lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level was 2920.2 ± 1462.0 IU/L. The incidence of thromboembolism and impaired renal function was 16.7% and 29.2%, respectively. The primary treatment strategies included steroids (79.2%), androgens (42.0%), eculizumab (33.3%), immunosuppressants (16.7%), and anticoagulants (4.2%). In eight patients treated with eculizumab, there was a marked reduction in the LDH levels of 14.89-fold–1.63-fold that of the upper limit of normal; seven patients exhibited decreased transfusion requirements. Twenty-one patients were alive with regular follow-up at the time of publication. Our study demonstrates that PNH patients in southern Taiwan may exhibit different clinical characteristics and outcomes relative to patients in other countries. There was a trend toward a greater PNH granulocyte clone size, which may lead to more hemolysis. In our study, the percentage of patients with impaired renal function, but not the percentage of patients with thrombotic events, was higher than values reported worldwide and in the observational cross-sectional International PNH Registry. More large-scale studies with comprehensive data on the clinical response to different treatments are needed.

Tentation de Saint-Antoine, 1888
This suite of 10 lithographs by French printmaker and painter Odilon Redon (1840–1916) was inspired by scenes from Gustave Flaubert's La tentation de Saint-Antoine (1874). Equal parts play and novel, Flaubert's text dramatically re-creates a night in which the hermit Anthony, alone in the desert, experiences a variety of temptations orchestrated by the Devil.
Forming one of Redon's most famous series, these prints demonstrate the artist's mastery of lithography and his ability to imitate the textures, tones, and rich blacks of his charcoal drawings, called noirs. Like other symbolist works from the period, Redon's Tentation de Saint-Antoine evokes dreams and the hidden passages of the imagination.

35.28 Properties of morphisms local in the étale topology on the source
Here are some properties of morphisms that are étale local on the source.
Lemma 35.28.1. The property $\mathcal{P}(f)=$"$f$ is étale" is étale local on the source.
Proof. Combine Lemma 35.23.4 with Morphisms, Lemma 29.36.2 (local for Zariski on source and target), Morphisms, Lemma 29.36.3 (pre-composing), and Lemma 35.11.4 (part (4)). $\square$
Lemma 35.28.2. The property $\mathcal{P}(f)=$"$f$ is locally quasi-finite" is étale local on the source.
Proof. We are going to use Lemma 35.23.4. By Morphisms, Lemma 29.20.11 the property of being locally quasi-finite is local for Zariski on source and target. By Morphisms, Lemmas 29.20.12 and 29.36.6 we see the precomposition of a locally quasi-finite morphism by an étale morphism is locally quasi-finite. Finally, suppose that $X \to Y$ is a morphism of affine schemes and that $X' \to X$ is a surjective étale morphism of affine schemes such that $X' \to Y$ is locally quasi-finite. Then $X' \to Y$ is of finite type, and by Lemma 35.11.2 we see that $X \to Y$ is of finite type also. Moreover, by assumption $X' \to Y$ has finite fibres, and hence $X \to Y$ has finite fibres also. We conclude that $X \to Y$ is quasi-finite by Morphisms, Lemma 29.20.10. This proves the last assumption of Lemma 35.23.4 and finishes the proof. $\square$
Lemma 35.28.3. The property $\mathcal{P}(f)=$"$f$ is unramified" is étale local on the source. The property $\mathcal{P}(f)=$"$f$ is G-unramified" is étale local on the source.
Proof. We are going to use Lemma 35.23.4. By Morphisms, Lemma 29.35.3 the property of being unramified (resp. G-unramified) is local for Zariski on source and target. By Morphisms, Lemmas 29.35.4 and 29.36.5 we see the precomposition of an unramified (resp. G-unramified) morphism by an étale morphism is unramified (resp. G-unramified). Finally, suppose that $X \to Y$ is a morphism of affine schemes and that $f : X' \to X$ is a surjective étale morphism of affine schemes such that $X' \to Y$ is unramified (resp. G-unramified). Then $X' \to Y$ is of finite type (resp. finite presentation), and by Lemma 35.11.2 (resp. Lemma 35.11.1) we see that $X \to Y$ is of finite type (resp. finite presentation) also. By Morphisms, Lemma 29.34.16 we have a short exact sequence
\[ 0 \to f^*\Omega _{X/Y} \to \Omega _{X'/Y} \to \Omega _{X'/X} \to 0. \]
As $X' \to Y$ is unramified we see that the middle term is zero. Hence, as $f$ is faithfully flat we see that $\Omega _{X/Y} = 0$. Hence $X \to Y$ is unramified (resp. G-unramified), see Morphisms, Lemma 29.35.2. This proves the last assumption of Lemma 35.23.4 and finishes the proof. $\square$

Halifax Citadel National Historic Site of Canada
Signal Masts and Flags at the Halifax Citadel
Towering above the South East Salient of the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site are two replica masts that represent the masts historically used as signalling systems before the advent of electronic telecommunications. Parks Canada dresses (flies different flags and symbols) the replica masts as part of its interpretive program.
Commercial Signal Mast
The tallest mast, also known as the commercial mast, was used to inform the public (especially local merchants) of commercial marine traffic in the harbour and approaches. Company flags combined with pennants and signal discs indicated the number of ships in the harbour along with information regarding the ships' nationality, direction, and port of departure. This information would give local citizens time to prepare for the impending arrivals. Local citizens would know what these combination of flags meant as codes were printed in local almanacs and newspapers. Standing 117 feet above the ramparts of the fort, the commercial mast was highly visible throughout the surrounding area.
Military Telegraph Mast
The shorter mast adjacent to the commercial mast was used for military communications. Used in conjunction with other masts around Halifax harbour, the military telegraph mast at the Citadel used flags and discs to transmit coded sensitive and restricted military messages. This mast stood 78 feet above the ramparts of the fort.
Other Flags
In addition to the flags on the signal masts, there are two other prominent flags flown at the Citadel. The Canadian flag is flown on the official mast at the front entrance of the Citadel and the historical garrison flag (the Union Jack) is flown on a mast located in the south-west demi-bastion of the fort.

Structured products as combinations of conventional and derivative financial instruments exist in various forms. In order to be able to classify the different types, the Swiss Structured Products Association (SSPA) has introduced the Swiss Derivative Map. This guidance distinguishes between capital protection, yield enhancement and participation products. Due to the diversity of structured products, however, it is not easy to map them correctly in the processes and systems relating to investment advice, portfolio monitoring, client reports or portfolio management. We are happy to help you with this.

Purification, crystallization, and X-ray crystallographic analysis of fatty acid amide hydrolase from Candida albicans
 - 17
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a member of the amidase signature (AS) family of serine hydrolases. FAAH hydrolyzes anandamide and oleamide, which regulate pain perception, inflammation, and the cognitive state. Thus far, a limited number of structures of mammalian FAAH and non-mammalian AS family members have been determined. In this study, to understand structural features and functional diversity of FAAH, we crystallized the FAAH protein from the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. X-ray diffraction data were obtained at 2.2 Å resolution. The crystal of the C. albicans FAAH (CaFAAH) belonged to P21, with the unit cell parameters a = 84.8, b = 68.7, c = 100.9 Å, α = γ = 90, and β = 99.6°. The crystals contained two CaFAAH molecules in asymmetric units.

1. Using 3/4-in. flat paintbrush, apply three coats of MagiKote to each ball, ensuring that you coat inside the indentations as well. Allow two-three hours dry time between each coat.
 2. Sand the entire surface to remove any rough edges.
 3. Using 3/4-in. flat paintbrush, paint entire ball Americana White Wash for the baseball and/or soccer ball, and Americana Cadmium Orange for the basketball. Paint a second coat when first has dried.
 4. Use a pencil to lightly draw the lines where the baseball stitches will go. Also draw on the soccer ball sections. After the painting step and the paint has dried, excess pencil marks can be easily erased.
 5. Use liner paintbrush to paint the lines of the basketball and the soccer ball using Americana Lamp (Ebony) Black. Using the same brush, paint the baseball stitches using Americana Berry Red.
 6. Use a flat paintbrush to fill in the black sections of the soccer ball.
 7. Erase any excess pencil marks.
 8. Use 3/4-in. flat paintbrush to add two coats of Starlight Topcoat.
 9. Cut a piece of sturdy string to 12-in. in length. Holding the two open ends together, tie ends in a knots, inserting the head end of a stick pin just before tightening. Insert pointed end of stick pin into the top of the ball. Before pushing the pin all the way in, add a dot of hot glue around the pin, then push the pin all the way in.
 NOTE: If you find that using a marker is easier for you than paint and a liner brush, you can substitute using this method.

Damen: Spotlight on Hydro Power Dam Maintenance
Dam maintenance activities will be the main topic of Damen's Mark Winkelman presentation at the Hydro 2018 in Gdansk, Poland, from 15-17 October 2018.
He will focus on the dredging depth and discharge pipe distance combined with the various types of dredgers available (cutter suction dredger (CSD), DOP dredger etc).
In rivers, natural currents continuously transport sediment. When a dam is built in that river – for creating a hydropower plant, or a reservoir for irrigation or drinking water – this sediment transport is blocked.
As a result, sediment builds up at the dam, gradually filling the reservoir. Therefore these artificial lakes need constant maintenance.
Operational reliability is key for a hydropower plant, therefore the turbine inlets need to be clean. And a clogged up water reservoir only holds a limited water capacity.

YEREVAN, July 17. / ARKA /. The Armenian government has allowed today the State Water Committee to pump out 245 million cubic meters of water from the country's largest Lake Sevan in 2014 for irrigation purposes, by 75 million cubic meters more than projected earlier. The decision was prompted by shortage of irrigation water in reservoirs.
In January 2014 the Armenian government approved a set of amendments to the "Law on Restoration and Protection of Lake Sevan's Ecosystem," permitting thereby to increase the volume of water pumped out from the lake for irrigation purposes until 2019.
According to the State Water Committee head Andranik Andreasyan, the volume of water is to be increased from the 170 million to 240 million cubic meters per year. He also said the government plans to build a series of reservoirs by 2019 to solve the problem.
Lake Sevan, one of the largest alpine lakes in Europe and Asia, is located in the heart of the Armenian plateau, at an altitude of 1,914 meters. The lake stretches over 70 kilometers from northwest to southeast. Its water surface area is nearly 1,500 square kilometers. The lake is the main source of drinking water in the region. –0—


1. What is the difference between Nigori Sake and Refined Sake?
 Sake is brewed using rice and water, made from the moromi (fermenting rice solids) produced during the fermentation process of malted rice.
 Refined sake is made by pressing the moromi using a cotton bag to filter and remove the solid content, or sake lees, for sake that is completely clear and serene.
 Nigori Sake is sake that remains unfiltered, resulting in unfermented rice solids deliberately left floating around inside. A sweeter smooth flavoring produced by these remnants therefore adds to the taste of the sake.
 2. What is the difference between MoMo Nigori Sake and other Nigori Sakes?
 MoMo uses orginal style sake as its base. Therefore, the sweet yet acidic flavoring from rice is characterized for having a very natural and mellow quality, and the sake is comparably low in alcohol content.
 This rich and smooth flavor cannot be found in Nigori Sakes that use refined sake as its base, and is what distinguishes MoMo from other sakes.
 3. When does MoMo Nigori Sake expire and what is the best preservation method?
 MoMo's delicate flavors and qualities are sensitive to UV rays so make sure to keep it away from direct sunlight or fluorescent light.
 Temperatures above 68F（18℃） for prolonged periods may also have adverse affects on its smell and taste.
 A cool, dark storage area is ideal for preserving MoMo's delicious taste.
 4. What is the white sediment at the bottom of the bottle? Is it ok to drink?
 The white layer is formed by the remnants of rice, and contains nutrients that are vital for the health and beauty of your body, such as fiber and amino acids.
 The naturally sweet and flavorful rice remnants also add to the taste and quality of the sake.
 Therefore, to enjoy MoMo to its full potential, it is important to thoroughly shake or stir the bottle before pouring so that the sediments are mixed in with each sip.
 5. Unlike other Nigori Sakes which are usually white, why is MoMo Nigori Sake pink?
 MoMo's distinctive pink color is a natural color produced by a special yeast.
 This all-natural, delicate, and cute coloring is another one of MoMo's unique appeals.
 6. Once the bottle is opened, does the pink color disappear?
 Even after the bottle is opened, as long as it isn't exposed to strong UV rays, MoMo's pink color can be preserved.
 However, because no synthetic preservatives are used, once opened, the overall flavor and aroma will spoil at a faster rate.
 Therefore, after opening the bottle, it is best to keep it refrigerated and finish it as soon as possible.
 7. Does the pink color ever disappear? In how long?
 Because the pink coloring is naturally produced, the pigments will dissolve and color will be lost (turn white) from prolonged exposure to strong UV rays.
 As long as MoMo is kept out of direct sunlight, the color will remain preserved for an extended period.
 8. What is the best way to drink MoMo Nigori Sake?
 It can be enjoyed both chilled, or on the rocks.
 Find out original recipes for cocktails that make use of MoMo's exceptional qualities and flavors
 Highly recommended is the Simple MoMo Mix, MoMo Nigori Sake mixed with fruit juice at a 1 to 1 ratio. Squeeze drops of 100% Lime Juice for a touch of zest and a refreshing, crisp finish.
 MoMo's catchphrase is "Discover Something Delicious!"
 Let your imagination take over and have fun inventing your very personal MoMo creations!

Number of water treatment plants, located in Aishbagh, Balaganj and Gaughat, that draw water from the Gomti river and supply drinking water to Lucknow city after treatment.
125 million litres
Volume of water supplied to the city from the water treatment plants each day.
100,000 million litres
Average daily supply to city reported around 25 May leading to scarcity in areas like Aishbagh, Balaganj, Rakabagnj, Thakurganj, Yahiyaganj and Musabagh. Many residents also complained of dirty water supply.
Minimum level of water in the Gomti river below which the water treatment plants cannot function effectively.
Water level reported in the Gomti river at the beginning of May, while the average level at this time of the year is 356 ft., leading to rationing of supply. Rationing will continue until the arrival of monsoon as the Gomti river is mainly a groundwater and monsoon-fed river and levels will only dip further.
14 lakh residents, mostly from the old city, have been grappling with shortages since 10 days per reports.
