Oxygen makes Venus glow at night
Rating: 5.00/5 (1 votes cast)
- Title Oxygen makes Venus glow at night
- Released 11/04/2007 2:35 pm
- Copyright ESA/VIRTIS/INAF-IASF/Obs. de Paris-LESIA
This grey-scale image was taken on 3 June 2006 by the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) onboard ESA's Venus Express, at a distance of 68 000 kilometres from the planet's surface.
The image shows the oxygen airglow in the night-side of Venus, appearing as the bright features similar to 'clouds' visible at the bottom of the image, and also visible as the white ring surrounding the planet's disk (limb). The oxygen airglow is fully detectable only at specific infrared wavelengths. This image was obtained at 1.27 micrometres.
The fluorescence of the airglow is produced when oxygen atoms, 'migrating' from the day-side to the night-side of the atmosphere of Venus under the push of the so-called sub-solar and anti-solar atmospheric circulation, recombine into molecular oxygen (or 'O2') emitting light.
The view was obtained from south, with the south pole at the top of the image. The lower horizon is at about 20 degrees South latitude, while the image centre is at 60 degrees East longitude (coinciding with midnight local time).


GraphicsJS Fill Settings
Fill settings define how a shape inner area is drawn. All Shapes and closed Paths have the fill() method.
Solid color
The most simple fill is a solid color fill. Color can be set as rgb, rgba, hex, hsl, hsla or web constant, just as you do in CSS Color.
Color opacity can be set in two ways:
 - RGBA, HSLA modificators;
 - Dedicated parameter:
 - Call function with the parameters fill(color, opacity);
 - Single value fill('color opacity') (one string value separated by space).
Linear Gradient
Gradient key
Gradient is a required parameter to set linear gradient, it consists of two or three values: gradient position, color and opacity as an option. If you have only one key the fill will be solid.
Gradient position is set by a number from 0 to 1, where 0 and 1 are gradient borders. If gradient position is not set manually, it will be calculated automatically depending on the number of keys.
Gradient key settings: 'position color opacity' or
 position:,
 color:,
Here is an example of two-step linear gradient:
.fill(['red', 'yellow'])
And here is an example of multiple-key linear gradient:
.fill(['0.1 red', '.3 yellow', '.6 white', '.9 orange'])
Additional values
 - opacity - sets an opacity value for gradient;
 - angle - sets gradient angle, depending on the mode;
 - fill mode - as described below.
Fill modes
ObjectBoundingBox without angle value preservation
In this mode, AnyChart charting framework calculates gradient vector with the preset angle, but the result gradient angle on the rendered page can be changed if the object proportion is not 1:1 in the browser. So visually the result gradient angle may not correspond to the original settings.
ObjectBoundingBox with angle value preservation
In this mode the result angle will visually correspond the original setting, non regarding browser scaling duplication (so, for objects that do not have 1:1 proportion with the original figure, the gradient angle will correspond to the initial value due to internal calculations).
Please see the following illustration of these modes:
// no angle preservation
.fill(['0.4 black', '.6 white'], 45)
// angle preservation
.fill(['0.4 black', '.6 white'], 45, true)
In this mode gradient settings are added by gradient size and borders/coordinates, and rendering is calculated within those borders. After that, the fill is executed on the element figure according to its coordinates.
This can be shown in the following way:
 keys: ['.1 red', '.5 green', '.9 blue'],
 angle: -45,
 mode: anychart.math.rect(150, 70, 100, 50),
 opacity: 1
Gradient settings are set by 'fill settings', and these gradient fills figures 1-3.
If the container size in gradient settings are larger than the filled element size, it will result in the following:
 angle: -45,
 mode: anychart.math.rect(5, 0, 395, 200),
 opacity: 1
Radial Gradient
Radial Gradient basic parameters are:
 1. Gradient keys, just like in linear gradient,
 2. Center location, which is set by a number from 0 to 1 as a percentage ratio from the container dimensions.
Radial gradient fill with center location (0.5, 0.5):
.fill(['black', 'white'],.5,.5)
Additional parameters:
 - opacity - sets an opacity value for gradient;
 - fill area - same as in (UserSpaceOnUse). If fill area is not set, whole container is filled in. If the resulting proportions ratio is not 1:1, the fill will stretch to fill all area (resulting in an ellipse).
 - focal spot location - sets a focal point location as a percentage ratio from container dimensions (0, 1). Focal spot location must not overrun the ellipse borders.
An example of focal spot shape. Focal spot must lay within ellipse borders.
.fill(['black', 'white'],.5,.5, null, 1, 0.23, 0.81)
An example of shape with defined fill area:
.fill(['black', 'white'],.5,.5, anychart.math.rect(0, 0, 400, 400), 1,.5,.7)
Image fill
To fill an element with an image you need to pass the following settings: object with the image source and fill mode. Available fill modes are listed in enum.
 src: '//',
 mode: acgraph.vector.ImageFillMode.TILE

Full Title: Endless Ocean Endless Sky Set Design
Location: Portland, OR
Description: This project was commissioned by emerging choreographer Tahni Holt for her performance Endless Ocean Endless Sky. The set was designed in response to several design criteria relating to both the evocation of the choreographic aesthetic and the limits of financial and logistical constraints. From the very beginning of the design phase, we were interested in creating a minimal set that could be built and transported easily that was also able to create an evocative and mutable space for both the performers and audience. Relying heavily on the work of Ant Farm and their inflatable constructions in the 1970's, a small 20′x40′ space was made using standard polyethylene. Additional seams and creases were welded into the plastic in order to avoid the typical balloon aesthetic of inflatables. Rather, there was a desire for the installation to be able to evoke both things that were simultaneously heavy and light (massive icebergs floating in the sea, 747's flying through the sky, etc.). A generative algorithm was developed that would allow a fragmented pattern of creases to emerge on the surface without having to laboriously transcribe a predefined pattern on to the surface.

- Published in Expert Opinion
Lispro administered by QS-M needle-free injector results in earlier and higher insulin exposure than conventional pen, and a greater early glucose-lowering effect with similar overall potency.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) profiles of lispro administered by the QS-M needle-free jet injector in Chinese subjects.
Research design and methods: A randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, cross-over study was performed. Eighteen healthy volunteers were recruited. Lispro (0.2 units/kg) was administered by the QS-M needle-free jet injector or by conventional pen. Seven-hour euglycemic clamp tests were performed. Eighteen volunteers (nine men and nine women) were recruited in this study. The inclusion criteria were: nonsmokers aged 18–40 years, with body mass index (BMI) of 17–24 kg/m2; subjects with normal biochemical tests, blood pressure, and electrocardiograph; subjects who signed the informed consent. The exclusion criteria were: subjects with insulin allergy or other allergic history; subjects with chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, liver or kidney disease. Subjects who used alcohol were also excluded. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.
Results: A larger area under the curve (AUCs) of insulin concentration and glucose infusion rate (GIR) during the first 20 minutes after lispro injection by the jet injector compared to the insulin pen was observed (24.91 ± 15.25 vs. 12.52 ± 7.60 mg. kg−1, P < 0.001 for AUCGIR,0–20 min; 0.36 ± 0.24 vs. 0.10 ± 0.04 U min L−1, P < 0.001 for AUCINS, 0–20 min). Needle-free injection showed a shorter time to reach maximum insulin concentration (37.78 ± 11.14 vs. 80.56 ± 37.18 min, P < 0.001) and GIR (73.24 ± 29.89 vs. 116.18 ± 51.89 min, P = 0.006). There were no differences in total insulin exposure and hypoglycemic effects between the two devices. Conclusion: Lispro administered by QS-M needle-free injector results in earlier and higher insulin exposure than conventional pen, and a greater early glucose-lowering effect with similar overall potency.

Is there any way to get the total page count after selecting multiple word documents in a folder?
share|improve this question
3 Answers 3
Hopefully this will enlighten you a little further than the rather brief answer provided by another user.
Simple answer: no.
Detailed answer: A MS Word document only has "pages" once it is generated (i.e. opened). The main reason for this is to do with the page size. For example: if you have three documents under scrutiny, formatted to sizes A5, A4 & A3 respectively, then to count the number of pages collectively would be practically impossible to display in a simple, logical / coherent format.
The only potential way around this is to write some custom software which opens each desired document one after the other, logs the page sizes of each respective document, and then counts the number of pages within each page size category and logs it before closing each document and proceeding to the next.
Hopefully this will be of help to you.
Many thanks.
Adam's response (Nov 22 '12 at 15:08) is also somewhat correct and I feel that I should elaborate on my answer; Word does store a page count for some document types, but not all, as Adam quite rightly states. I chose to treat this factor as an 'all or nothing' property; either it stores a page count for all document types, or none at all. Hence why if you extract the page count property from each document, it may result in incorrect / inaccurate data due to particular file types not being read. This is why my suggestion of custom software would be the best overall option as the data can become stale or inaccurate and not always reflect the facts. This is why it is better to consider Word as not storing any page number properties rather than just some.
I hope this also helps?

Thanks for the info. I don't suppose you have a link to any such custom software? – Paul Spangle Nov 20 '12 at 11:57
I'm afraid not; however, the logic behind the software should not be too difficult to implement. The software is required to look in a directory, locate all.doc /.docx files and then from there, open the document, log the number of pages (if you wish to include page size here, it will require more detailed analysis of the document), add the total to a running count for each page size, then close the document and move onto the next until all have been analysed. – SnookerFan Nov 20 '12 at 15:09

Not coincidental in relation to what, exactly? – SnookerFan Oct 21 '13 at 10:12
Has this worked? – SnookerFan Nov 22 '13 at 10:16
This same question came up at work and Google brought me here. There isn't a way to select the documents in Windows Explorer and obtain a page count, but there are other methods that might provide a good enough estimate.
I'm thinking of trying out this PowerShell script: Hey, Scripting Guy! How Do I Count the Number of Pages in a Group of Office Word Documents? For an end user I would set up a shortcut and maybe prompt for the folder location.
share|improve this answer
SnookerFan's detailed answer is a little off, Microsoft Word does store the number of pages in a document as a document property when the document is saved. This value is what shows up in the explorer when you view the properties of the file and it should be correct 99% of the time although I'm sure there are some situations where the value of this property could become stale and incorrect.
Therefore you could create a simple application and even make it into a shell plugin to query this property and add the values together.
One thing to keep in mind is this property is displayed for DOC and DOCX documents but isn't for RTF format even though it is written to the RTF document (represented by the {\nofpagesX} keyword).

A rarely-seen young Nabarlek, found curled up in his mother's pouch after she was killed by a car, has taken up residence at Australia's Perth Zoo. Nabarleks are also known as Pygmy Rock Wallabies.
Named Norbert, he is the only Nabarlek in a zoo anywhere, according to the Perth Zoo.
Norbert was discovered by a wildlife rehabilitator, who provided care for several months. At the time Norbert was taken in, he weighed just 6.5 ounces (186 grams). Because he doesn't have the skills to survive in the wild, Norbert was brought to the Perth Zoo where he will become a pint-sized ambassador for this little-known species.
Perth Zoo Director of Animal Health and Research Dr. Peter Mawson said adult Nabarleks are only about 12 inches (30 cm) tall. They are rarely seen because they inhabit remote areas and emerge only at night to feed on ferns and reeds.
Nabarleks are in the macropod family of marsupials, which includes kangaroos and wallabies. "An interesting feature is that because of the tough nature of the plants included in their diet, the four or five molar teeth in each section of the jaw progressively move forward during the Narbalek's life, ensuring that it is never without the teeth it needs to chew its tough food. Narbaleks are the only macropod that do this," said Dr. Mawson.
Guests can meet Norbert starting this weekend at the Perth

Left to right: The newest Compact machine next to the Vortex + and the Vortex
The Vernacare Compact provides quick, safe and effective disposal of Vernacare single-use containers and patient waste, at the point of care.
The Compact is a new addition to Vernacare's industry-leading range of disposal units, which include the Vortex+ and Vortex models. All units in the range feature Vernacare's SmartFlowTM technology. This unique maceration system keeps drains flowing by ensuring that miniscule waste particles are only flushed to drain once maximum water dispersion has been achieved.
"The new Compact is small in size, but big on impact," said Matt Miller, CEO of Vernacare. "It advances patient and staff dignity and improves infection prevention by making it possible to dispose of Vernacare single-use containers and patient waste hygienically at the point of care, thereby containing any infection risk. By localising care in this way, clinicians can use their time more productively.
"The new technology has been designed and developed by our R&D team, who have decades of experience of creating innovative new medical products to prevent and control cross infection. We are particularly grateful for the input of many clinicians and health professionals during the design and development process."
This space-efficient Compact is the smallest disposal unit on the market and can be located closer to patients if needed, such as in patient bathrooms, isolation rooms, specialist areas like radiology, x-ray, chemotherapy and theatre recovery, or long term care settings. This means the need to carry human waste to a sluice or 'dirty' utility area is removed, thus reducing the risk of spreading infection and saving clinicians' valuable time.
The Compact can be wall-mounted to save floor space, built into an existing area for a flush finish, or placed on the floor on top of a stainless steel plinth.
The Compact is operated entirely hands-free via an ultrasonic foot sensor and starts automatically when the lid closes, ensuring swift and hygienic disposal of each Vernacare single-use container immediately after patient use.
Vernacare is the only company worldwide to manufacture a complete system for delivering hygienic patient care incorporating single-use containers and disposal units, and has been the global market leader for more than 50 years.

An Awka-based optometrist, Dr. Emma Ezejiegu, has urged members of the public to ensure effective blood pressure control and regular eye checks to reduce the prevalence of cataract.
Ezejiegu, a Principal Optometrist, at Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Awka, Anambra State, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday, in Awka.
He further stated that exposure to solar radiation and trauma could increase the possibility of being afflicted by the condition.
"Cataract is a condition that results from protein accumulation. Protein deposits are characterised by an opaque film on the lens that becomes more obvious over time.
"This condition can be avoided through regular eye checks. Some cases are hereditary and can arise from genetic makeup.
"Poorly controlled medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, trauma and aging are key factors that can cause the health challenge," he said.
Ezejiegu listed the signs of the eye ailment as clouded and blurred vision, increasing difficulty with vision at night and sensitivity to light and glare.
"High need for brighter light while reading, seeing halos around lights and having need to frequently change eyeglasses are major signs to worry about.
"The only effective way to treat cataract is to surgically replace the damaged natural lens with an artificial lens implant.
"This process can be done through the traditional method or laser assisted means," he said.


Clearing Nestbox Or Stuck Eyes in Young Kits
A Clean Nestbox to Prevent Infection
[Editor's Note: When baby rabbits are in the nest box, they can suffer from infections in their eyes and genitals. For this reason it's very important to keep a clean, dry box for them to sleep in. If the bedding in the nest becomes wet or soiled, you should change the bedding and thoroughly sanitize the box. Save out the dry fur that the doe pulled to add to the new nest. Once you have changed the bedding, the kits may take a while to settle in. During this period they may crawl out of the box, and if they do it's a good chance that they will chill or get lost. So keep a close eye on the kits after you clean their box, and replace them if ever you find them outside the box before two weeks of age. Sometimes I even take the box away from the doe for several hours and keep a piece of wire over the top of the box, to prevent them from crawling out. Baby rabbits are at risk of death from exposure until they are 10-14 days old.]
Caring For Baby Rabbit Eyes
baby rabbit with his eyes stuck shutBaby rabbits are born with their eyes shut. The eyes do not open until they are about ten, eleven, or twelve days old.
If there are kits that are twelve days of age and their eyes have not opened, I will intervene to help out. I use a sterile eye wash and a clean cotton ball to soak the eyelids for a few minutes (try to warm up the solution a bit if it's very cold). Then, with clean fingers, I gently pry open the eyes.
If there was crusty matter keeping the eyes closed, then I apply a one-time application of optic ointment (tri-optic or terramycin ointment).
Treatment for Optical Infections in Young Bunnies
If an eye is full of pus, this is called "nest box eye." Treatment includes rinsing it with the eye wash and use the ointment twice a day for several days–until the symptoms have been gone for twenty-four hours. It can take persistence to clear up the symptoms.
You should consult your vet before giving medical treatment.
Editor's Note:
The bunny in the picture had an eye infection coming out of the nestbox. It took frequent treatments of warm water, soft cloths, and eye ointment to get it to clear up, but it finally did. He had a light spot on that eye for a while, which is a disqualification from competition. However, the spot went away as he matured.

Abstract
Though borohydride has been frequently used as a hydrogen source in the nanoparticle-catalyzed chemical reduction, the explanation for a delay of the reaction is still under debate. Here we investigated the mechanism of the catalytic borohydride reduction and found that the negative charge of borohydride prevented it from approaching the negatively charged nanoparticles, resulting in a delay of reactions. Spontaneous hydrolysis of borohydride was critical to the start of the reaction. A universal method was introduced to dramatically increase the catalytic efficiency. Our experiment suggested a guideline for designing efficient catalysts and reducing agents in future.

Optical Ramsey spectroscopy of atomic hydrogen
Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik
Hans-Kopfermann-Straße 1, 85748 Garching, Germany
Accepted: 31 August 1998
We report the observation of optical Ramsey fringes on the two-photon 1S-2S transition in atomic hydrogen with a pulsed temporal excitation scheme. With this technique we have improved the spectral resolution of this transition to a linewidth of 800 Hz at 243 nm, corresponding to 6 parts in 1013, setting a new record for neutral atoms. By applying a large number of light pulses we observe sharply peaked lines in the spectrum rather than the sinusoidal pattern obtained with two excitation pulses.

Introduction to Acoustic Grid Participation
Acoustic grid participation is an important diagnostic tool for understanding what area of the structure contributes significantly to the interior acoustic response.
This understanding will then allow you to determine what potential design changes can help reduce the acoustic response.
Acoustic grid participation is a way to break down an acoustic response to contributions from grids on the fluid-structure interface (see below):
Figure 1.
Structure grid participation
Provides participations from the body structure side of the fluid-structure interface.
Fluid grid participation
Provides participations from the interior cavity side of the interface.
Physical
The body structure grids vibrate, exciting the interior cavity fluid grids, which eventually generates an acoustic response (which is typically a driver's or passenger's response).
Note: Both Structure and Fluid grid participations are acoustic grid participations. The word 'acoustic' in 'acoustic grid participation' relates to the fact that the response is acoustic (or pertains to sound).

An approach combining thermal modeling, Bayesian inference, and soil temperature time series with vertical spatial resolution reveals under what conditions soil thermal diffusivity can be reliably inferred.
Improving the quantification of soil thermal properties is key to achieving a better prediction of soil hydro-biogeochemical processes and their responses to changes in atmospheric forcing. Obtaining such information at numerous locations with conventional soil sampling is challenging. The increasing availability of vertically resolved temperature sensor arrays offers the potential for improving the estimation of soil thermal properties from temperature time series. In this study, the team developed a parameter estimation approach based on a combination of thermal modeling, Bayesian inference and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation to estimate thermal diffusivity and its uncertainty over time, at numerous locations, and at an unprecedented vertical spatial resolution (i.e., down to 5 to 10 cm vertical resolution) from soil temperature time series. Also, the team assessed under which environmental conditions, temperature sensor characteristics, and deployment geometries soil thermal diffusivity can be reliably inferred. Synthetic experiments show that in the presence of median diurnal fluctuations ≥1.5°C at 5 cm below the ground surface, temperature gradients >2°C m-1, and a sliding time window of at least 4 days, the proposed method provides reliable depth-resolved thermal diffusivity estimates with percentage errors ≤10%. Reliable thermal diffusivity under such environmental conditions also requires temperature sensors to be spaced with accuracy to a few millimeters, and with a bias defined by a standard deviation ≤0.01°C. The application of the developed approach to field data acquired on the Seward Peninsula of Alaska indicates significant repeatability in results and similarity with independent measurements, as well as the ability to use a sliding time window to estimate temporal changes in soil thermal diffusivity, as needed to potentially capture changes in bulk density or water content. These findings represent a critical step to guide the development of cost-effective methodologies to estimate soil thermal and physical properties at numerous locations.

Docker : Oracle Database on Docker
This article describes a simple build for running an Oracle database on Docker.
Related articles.
Assumptions
This article assumes the following.
Build the Image
The Dockerfile and scripts this article is based upon can be found here. The build expects the following file system. You will have to download the Oracle 19c database and APEX software yourself and place it in the "software" directory.
$ tree
.
├── Dockerfile
├── README.md
├── scripts
│ ├── healthcheck.sh
│ └── start.sh
└── software
 ├── apex_20.2_en.zip
 ├── LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip
 └── put_software_here.txt
$
The Dockerfile contains some basic instructions, which will be described further here.
With all the files in place you can build the image using the following command.
$ #Docker
$ docker build -t ol7_19:latest .
$ #Podman
$ docker build --format docker -t ol7_19:latest .
The build performs the following actions.
You will notice the build phase doesn't create a database. That is done on the first run of a container.
Run a Container
The database is created the first time the container is started, which means it can take some time for the container to be fully operational, especially because we are also doing an APEX installation into the database.
The simplest way to run a container based on this image is to accept all the defaults and run the following command. It gives the container a name (ol7_19_con), binds a host port to the exposed container port.
$ docker run -dit --name ol7_19_con \
 -p 1521:1521 \
 --shm-size="1G" \
 ol7_19:latest
In the previous example the storage is not persistent, so if the container were removed the database files would be lost. We can solve this problem by creating a directory on the host file system and mounting it to "/u02" in the container. Now the data files reside outside the container. See the Persistent Storage section about the setup of the host volume.
$ mkdir -p ~/volumes/ol7_19_con_u02/
$ docker run -dit --name ol7_19_con \
 -p 1521:1521 \
 --shm-size="1G" \
 -v /u01/volumes/ol7_19_con_u02/:/u02 \
 ol7_19:latest
We could have used a managed volume or a data volume container instead. These approaches are described here.
In the previous examples we've exposed the database to the outside world, but if we want other containers to speak directly to it, we must create a Docker network and associate the container with that network.
$ docker network create my_network
$ docker run -dit --name ol7_19_con \
 -p 1521:1521 -p 5500:5500 \
 --shm-size="1G" \
 --network=my_network \
 -v /u01/volumes/ol7_19_con_u02/:/u02 \
 ol7_19:latest
So far we have relied on the default settings for the database creation, but we can influence this by setting the appropriate environment variables in the run command.
$ docker run -dit --name ol7_19_con \
 -p 1521:1521 -p 5500:5500 \
 --shm-size="1G" \
 -v /u01/volumes/ol7_19_con_u02/:/u02 \
 -e "ORACLE_SID=cdb2" \
 -e "SYS_PASSWORD=SysPassword2" \
 -e "PDB_NAME=pdb2" \
 -e "PDB_PASSWORD=PdbPassword2" \
 -e "APEX_EMAIL=_EMAIL_" \
 -e "APEX_PASSWORD=ApexPassword2" \
 ol7_19:latest
Persistent Storage
If you are using an external host volume for persistent storage, the build expects it to owned by a group with the group ID of 1042. This is described here.
start.sh Script
The start.sh script is responsible for creating the database on the first run of the container. It performs the following actions.
healthcheck.sh Script
The healthcheck.sh script is really simple. It connects to the database and runs a query. If the query is successful it returns "0", otherwise it returns "1".
Managing the Container
Once the container is running you can connect to a bash shell using the following command.
$ docker exec -it ol7_19_con bash
The container can be stopped and started using the following commands. The "--time" parameter give the database a chance to shutdown gracefully. Restarting the container has no impact on ephemeral storage, so no data will be lost, even if you are not using persistent storage.
$ docker stop --time=30 ol7_19_con
$ docker start ol7_19_con
The following command removes the container and the associated volumes. If you are not using persistent storage this will result in the loss of the database files.
$ docker rm -vf ol7_19_con

Hope this helps. Regards Tim...

Earl Clark and Dick Over, original members of the 10th Mountain division, will speak from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Vail Mountains Minnis Mile run is named after Charles Minot Dole, who started the national ski patrol in the 1930s. He lobbied Washington to start experimental mountain division of soldiers which became the 10th Mountain Division.We wouldnt be here if it wasnt for the 10th Mountain Division, said Justin Henderson said, curator of the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum. They played a vital role in the Colorado ski industry.The ski museum is working with Vail library to celebrate local history, commemorate Veterans Day and the 25th anniversary of the library. Clark and Over will share their first hand historic accounts, stories and anecdotes so we can learn about the sacrifices that service men during World War II made, Henderson said. They are fun and engaging and will answer questions afterwards. Ski patrollers recruited the soldiers for the 10th Mountain Division. The 10th Mountain Division was the only army division that was recruited by a civilian organization.The division trained specifically for mountain warfare and is still the only unit the U.S. army has created for mountain warfare. The troops were stationed at Camp Hale, between Minturn and Leadville, and trained in areas now known as Ski Cooper and Vail. Their training at 9,200 feet prepared the men to fight in Europe. The battle of Riva Ridge another run in Vail was the divisions first combat operation in Italy. The troops climbed the Ridge at night and surprised and defeated the Germans. They didnt think Riva Ridge could be climbed, Over said. During their time in Italy, from 1944 to the end of war in 1945, the division was involved in heavy combat. We lost 1,000 men, 4,000 wounded fighting in the mountains of Italy, Clark said. It was very difficult combat action against the Germans as they held the high ground. Our time in Colorado prepared well for that as we trained at higher altitude than Italy. People were surprised we trained as well as we did, Clark saidAfter the war was over the soldiers returned to Colorado, where some of them were inspired to set up a ski area. A few of them founded Vail. They looked over at the bowls and decided this was the place, said Clark, referring to fellow soldier and Vail founder Peter Seibert. Tenth Mountain soldiers Robert Parker and Bill Brown helped Seibert build Vail. There are over 60 ski areas built by the men of the 10th division, Clark said. They played a major role and created the ski industry as it is today, including Arapahoe Basin, Aspen, Vail, Steamboat Springs and Loveland.Clark settled in Denver and skied with his wife, Betty, in Vail and Beaver Creek for 58 years. He only stopped skiing last year. Im not enjoying bachelor life. My wife died four years ago, we had a place at Eagle-Vail for 37 years, Clark said. After she died, going up there feels too lonely.I love the Back Bowls of Vail, he added. We did a lot of powder skiing there, my wife and I she was a beautiful skier.The ski and snowboard museum, located in the Vail parking garage, has a permanent exhibit on the 10th Mountain Division.Through the years we have been thrilled and delighted to see Vail become one of the greatest ski areas in the world, for the public and competitors, such as the World Cup, Clark said. Its great to see it develop in to the marvelous success it is.

If methane at a pressure of 3.2 atm and at 21 °C is introduced into a container, the gas be heated to ______°C to increase the pressure to 12 atm.
Temperature and Pressure are proportional. If you increase the temperature, the pressure will increase.
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Temperature has to be in Kelvin
C + 273 = K
i got 352 is that right
I got something different:
3.2/294 = 12/K
That gives us the Kelvin temp then subtract 273 to get C.
i got 831 i don't think this is right???

To create slow-motion effects on your Reels content on Instagram, it's crucial to understand how to make slow-motion videos on the platform. The process is relatively straightforward within the app itself, but it's worth noting that you cannot apply this effect to videos from your phone's gallery.
In addition to slow-motion effects, Instagram provides a variety of other filters and products that can enhance your videos and make them more engaging for your followers. If you're looking to slow down your videos and add a unique touch to your social media content, here's a simple guide on how to achieve that:
Create Slow Motion Video on Instagram
How to Add Slow Motion Effect on Instagram
Before we dive into the tutorial, here's an interesting tip: It's always a good idea to observe what other content creators do with the slow-motion effect. This way, you can gain insights into what works well and what doesn't. At the end of this tutorial, we'll also share some tips on when using slow motion is particularly effective. So let's get started with the steps below!
To utilize the slow-motion effect on Instagram (available on both Android and iOS), follow these simple steps:
- When opening Instagram, tap the "+" button in the Center at Bottom;
- Select "Reel" to be taken to the recording screen;
- On the left side of the screen, you can find the option "1x", normal video speed;
- Tap this option to open the other available speeds;
- Options ".3" and ".5" record video in slow motion;
- Just select the desired option and proceed to preview;
- Then add a cover and other relevant information;
- All right, publish.
While Instagram itself doesn't provide an option to add the slow-motion effect to videos from your gallery directly, some workarounds allow you to create and edit videos using other apps before uploading them to Instagram Reels. You can still incorporate the slow-motion effect into your content.
When To use the effect
Shooting videos in slow motion serves multiple purposes in content creation. It allows you to capture and highlight intricate details that are too fast to perceive in real time and adds a sense of anticipation and emphasis to your footage. For instance, slow motion can effectively showcase the movement leading up to a ball being kicked, building suspense and drawing attention to the action.
Moreover, slow motion is commonly employed in humor videos, where it can accentuate comedic moments by revealing subtle details that often go unnoticed at average speed. Since this effect is widely used, you can gain inspiration and determine its suitability for your video's theme by exploring various examples available across the vast expanse of the internet.
Considering the options available to add slow motion natively within Instagram or with the assistance of auxiliary apps, you can create compelling content and share it at the most opportune moments.
How do I create a slow-motion video on Instagram?
To create a slow-motion video on Instagram, you can either record a video in slow motion using your smartphone's built-in camera app or a video editing app to slow down the playback speed of a regular video before uploading it to Instagram.
Can I record a slow-motion video directly within the Instagram app?
No, the Instagram app does not have a built-in slow-motion recording feature. You need to use your smartphone's camera app or a separate video editing app to capture or edit the video in slow motion before uploading it to Instagram.
Which video editing apps can I use to create slow-motion videos for Instagram?
Several video editing apps are available for both iOS and Android devices that allow you to create slow-motion videos. Some popular options include iMovie (iOS), Adobe Premiere Rush (iOS and Android), and FilmoraGo (iOS and Android).
How do I slow down the playback speed of a video using a video editing app?
The exact steps may vary depending on the app you are using. Still, generally, you can import the video into the app, locate the speed adjustment or slow-motion feature, and decrease the playback speed. You can preview the video and make additional adjustments before saving or exporting it.
Can I apply slow motion to specific parts of a video?
Yes, most video editing apps can apply slow motion to specific sections or clips within a video. This allows you to create dynamic videos with both regular and slow-motion segments.
What is the ideal duration for a slow-motion video on Instagram?
There is no specific duration requirement for slow-motion videos on Instagram. However, keeping your tape concise and engaging is recommended, focusing on the key moments that benefit from the slow-motion effect.
Can I adjust the speed of an existing video on Instagram without using a separate video editing app?
No, the Instagram app does not have built-in video editing features that allow you to adjust the playback speed or apply slow motion. You must use a video editing app before uploading the video to Instagram.
Are there any limitations or file size considerations when uploading slow-motion videos to Instagram?
Yes, Instagram has certain limitations for video uploads, including file size and duration. To ensure a smooth upload and playback, it is recommended to compress the video and keep it within Instagram's supported file size and duration limits.
Can I apply slow motion to Instagram Reels or IGTV videos?
Yes, you can create slow-motion videos for both Instagram Reels and IGTV by capturing or editing the video in slow motion before uploading it to the respective platform.
Are there any alternative apps or methods for creating slow-motion videos on Instagram?
In addition to video editing apps, alternative methods exist to create slow-motion effects. Some smartphones have a native slow-motion recording mode that you can use. Additionally, you can explore other third-party apps specifically designed for creating slow-motion videos, which may offer additional features and flexibility.

When a domain changes holder this means that the current domain holder gives up their position as holder of the domain. A new holder takes their place. The current holder cancels the existing domain contract and a new domain contract is concluded between the future holder and DENIC.
There are two options to transfer a.de domain to a new holder:
- The provider who currently administers the domain performs the domain transfer: Both the previous and the future holder of the domain request the provider to change the domain details.
- The domain is transferred within the scope of a provider transfer. This is done in three steps:
- The current domain holder requests their provider to register a provider transfer password (AuthInfo) for the domain concerned.
- The current domain holder communicates this password to the future domain holder.
- The future domain holder communicates the password to the provider of their choice. This provider then carries out the provider transfer using the password and, simultaneously, executes the holder transfer.
Note: A holder change cannot be performed, if the domain bears a DISPUTE entry.

Football Boots: Earliest Recorded – King Henry VIII in 1526
Lord Henry VIII's football boots were recorded inside the Great Wardrobe of 1526, a shopping rundown of the day. They were made by his own shoemaker Cornelius Johnson in 1525, at an expense of 4 shillings, the likeness £100 in the present cash. Little is thought about them, as there is no enduring model, yet the illustrious football boots are known to have been made of solid cowhide, lower leg high and heavier than the ordinary shoe of the day.
Football Boots – The 1800's
Pushing ahead 300 years saw football creating and picking up ubiquity all through Britain, yet at the same time staying as an unstructured and casual side interest, with groups speaking to neighborhood production lines and towns in a prospering modern country. Players would wear their hard, calfskin work boots, which were for quite some time bound and steel toe-topped as the primary football boots. These football boots would likewise have metal studs or tacks pounded into them to expand ground grasp and strength.
As laws become incorporated into the game in the late 1800's, so observed the main move in football boots to a shoe (or soccus) style shoe, with players of a similar group beginning to wear similar boots just because. Laws additionally took into consideration studs, which must be adjusted. These cowhide studs, otherwise called spikes, were pounded into the early football boots, which just because moved far from the previous favored work boots. These football boots weighed 500g and were made of thick, hard cowhide going up the lower leg for expanded assurance. The football boots would twofold in weight when wet and had six studs in the underside. The football boot had arrived…
Football Boots – The 1900's to 1940's
Football boot styles remained generally steady all through the 1900's up to the second's end world war. The most critical occasions in the football boot world in the initial segment of the twentieth century were the arrangement of a few football boot makers who are as yet making football boots today, including Gola (1905), Valsport (1920) and Danish football boot producer Hummel (1923). Get More Knowledge about SMS Bong Da
Over in Germany, Dassler siblings Adolf and Rudolf shaped the Gebrüder Dassler Schuhfabrik (Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory) in Herzogenaurach in 1924 and started creating football boots in 1925 which had 6 or 7 replaceable, nailed studs, which could be changed by the climate states of play.

importHTML is a fantastic formula you can use in Google Spreadsheets. Here's Google's support documentation for importHTML:
Syntax: ImportHtml(URL, query, index)
URL is the URL of the HTML page. Either "list" or "table" indicates what type of structure to pull in from the webpage. If it's "list," the function looks for the contents of , , or tags; if it's "table," it just looks for tags. Index is the 1-based index of the table or the list on the source web page. The indices are maintained separately so there might be both a list #1 and a table #1.
Example: =ImportHtml("_URL_ "table";4). This function returns demographic information for the population of India.
Note: The limit on the number of ImportHtml functions per spreadsheet is 50.
What's even better is you can wrap this formula in other formula to get the data in the shape you want. A case in point I was recently asked:
_USER_ is it possible in GS/sheet to use ImportHTML and transpose table data on import into columns if the same source table format?
— jamestoon (_USER_) September 13, 2012
The answer is yes, you can TRANSPOSE a importHTML. Let use the Demographics of India table from the support documentation as an example. To switch columns into rows we can use
This lets us change the way the data is imported from this:
Lets now say we are only interested in the population figures for 1991 and 2001. You could always just import all the data then pull it using a cell reference. Another way of doing this is to wrap our data in a QUERY formula.
The QUERY function is a built-in function that allows you to perform a query over an array of values using the Google Visualization API Query Language.
Anyone used to tinkering with databases will recognise the query language which uses the clauses like SELECT, WHERE, GROUP_BY etc.
There are a couple of ways to query our data for the population of India in 1991 and 2001.
Using LIMIT and OFFSET
- Limit – Limits the number of returned rows.
- Offset – Skips a given number of first rows.
Using these we could use the query
"SELECT * LIMIT 2 OFFSET 4". This selects all the columns (using *) and then limits to 2 results starting from the 4th row. The order of limit/offset is important, using these the other way around won't return any results.
- Select – Selects which columns to return, and in what order. If omitted, all of the table's columns are returned, in their default order.
Because we are using importHTML as our datasource when selecting the columns we need to use the syntax Col1, Col2, Col3 …. So if you just want the year and population our query could be
"SELECT Col1, Col2 LIMIT 2 OFFSET 4"
- Where – Returns only rows that match a condition. If omitted, all rows are returned.
One issue with using limit/offset is if more data is inserted into the source table it might push your results out of the range. A way around this is to include a WHERE clause to only include data on certain conditions. WHERE allows various comparison operators like <=, =, >, multiple conditions ('and', 'or' and 'not') and more complex string comparisons like 'contains'. More information on WHERE conditions here. So if we only wan the population where the year is 1991 or 2001 we can use the query
"SELECT Col1, Col2 where Col1='*1991*' or Col1='*2001*'"
For this last example lets also TRANSPOSE the result and remove the table header:
So there you using the QUERY formula to be more selective on your html import to Google Spreadsheets. Here is a copy of the spreadsheet with all the examples I've used in this post Any questions/clarifications leave a comment.
PS Tony Hirst has also written about Using Google Spreadsheets Like a Database – The QUERY Formula and this is a place if you want some more query examples.
PPS I'm on leave now which is why this post has very little to do with CETIS or OER.

Some Nigerians have proposed a reduction of the 2017 National Assembly budget from the approved N125 billion to N52,490,951,173.
In response to the publication of the National Assembly budget, BudgIT and EiENigeria recently invited citizens to the â€œ#OpenNASS Datathonâ€ on May 20, 2017 with the objective of developing a lean and effective budget for the National Assembly as a standard for Nigeria to reduce the cost of governance.
In reaching the final sum, participants took into account all affiliated institutions, overhead costs, maintenance costs, personnel, research costs and all the line items contained in the 2017 National Assembly budget.
According to a statement yesterday, in suggesting the leaner and more effective budget, the participants noticed the repeated allocations made to each of the Senate, House of Representatives, National Institute of Legislative Studies, National Assembly Service Commission and the Public Accounts Committee (Senate and House of Representatives) for purchase of stationery and computer consumables; training, travel, purchase of motor vehicle, maintenance of the National Assembly buildings and other items.
To this end, they argued that several overhead items which accounted for 50 per cent of the National Assembly budget could be centralised in the General Services Unit for efficiency.
â€œThe final budget is not without context as citizens observed that N5.2 billion was budgeted for University of Abuja and the National Hospital is due to receive N7.6 billion in 2017. We ask that the reduction of national Assembly spending should continue as acquisition of certain items during the current fiscal year will no longer needed to be added in future budgets.
â€œThese rationales are informed by publicly available knowledge of the activities of the National Assembly, its supporting commissions and current prices of proposed items in the free market.
â€œIn addition, certain items were stripped from the budget for various reasons including duplication of line items and repurchase of already existing items such as cars and furniture which, from publicly available information, were included in the 2016 National Assembly budget,â€ the report added.
Furthermore, the statement pointed out that beyond revising of the National Assembly budget, BudgIT and EiENigeria would send copies of the recommended budget to National Assembly management and the Acting President for consideration as regards the 2017 budget.

District and TAH Workshops
When providing professional development programs, Choices collaborates with teachers and administrators to create programs that meet the specific needs of the schools or districts.
Programs focus on the Choices approach to addressing contested current and historical international issues. All programs take an interactive approach, giving participants first-hand experience with the Choices methodology from the students' perspective. Participants engage in one or more model lessons from our curriculum units, including taking part in a role-play simulation that places students at the center of a debate on a critical current issue or at an historical turning point. All of our workshops provide an overview of the Choices approach and philosophy and suggest strategies for successfully implementing the Choices curriculum in the classroom. Further, the workshops engage participants in reflection and discussion around issues such as relevance to common core, 21st century skills and, differentiated instruction.
Teaching American History Programs
The goal of Choices' TAH programs is to strengthen and expand the teaching of U.S. foreign policy and international content within the core U.S. history curriculum. Multi-Day Teaching Institutes focus on an international theme within U.S. history, engage participants with scholars on the topic, and provide opportunities for teachers to explore ways to incorporate the Choices Program's resources and approach to make these topics come alive for students in their classrooms. One-Day TAH Workshops are similar to district workshops (above). In addition, depending on arrangements, one or more scholars may provide an on-site session, appear via video conference, or be integrated through our Scholars Online videos.

Using nile red-adsorbed gold nanoparticles to locate glutathione within erythrocytes.Langmuir. 2005 Nov 08; 21(23):10676-83.L
An aqueous solution of Nile Red (NR)-absorbed 32-nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been used to sense glutathione (GSH). When the NR product is displaced by GSH on the AuNP surface, the fluorescence of the solution increases and the AuNPs aggregate. To determine the concentration and distribution of GSH within erythrocyte cells, a homemade fluorescence and scattering microscope was constructed. This system allows monitoring, within individual cells, of the uptake and transportation of the NRAuNPs and the displacement of the NR product from the NRAuNP surface by GSH. The fluorescence and scattering images clearly indicate the location of GSH inside the cells; these findings are supported by images recorded using 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxaldehyde, which is a highly selective fluorogenic reagent for GSH. Microscopic fluorescence measurements of the NRAuNPs revealed that the GSH concentration inside erythrocyte cells is 1.30 +/- 0.31 mM. To confirm this result, lysed erythrocyte cells were analyzed by applying capillary electrophoresis in conjunction with laser-induced fluorescence using NRAuNPs; accordingly, the average GSH concentration in a single erythrocyte cell was determined to be 1.32 +/- 0.06 mM.


R. To compute x's leader, just follow the bosses up to the leader. You are required to use this function any time you want to find the leader of a value.
 2. equivalent(R, x, y) returns true if x and y are currently in the same equivalence class in equivalence relation R. (They are in the same equivalence class if they have the same leader.)
 3. merge(R, x, y) merges the equivalence classes of x and y in R as follows. First, it finds the leaders xâ€² and yâ€² of x and y. If xâ€² and yâ€² are different (so x and y are not already in the same equivalence class) then yâ€² becomes the new boss of xâ€². (How can you changes xâ€²'s boss?) So yâ€² becomes the leader of the combined equivalence class.
 4. destroyER(R) deallocates R.
 5. showER(R, n) prints the entire contents of array R (of size n) in a readable form for debugging.
Important note. It is crucial that your program never change the boss of a value that is not a leader.
The professor provided the following header (I'm glad he did, gives me a better understanding on how he likes his contracts. I do know he doesn't want any body comments):

text: Participatory budgeting is a method used by city governments to select public projects to fund based on residents' votes. Many cities use participatory budgeting at a district level. Typically, a budget is divided among districts proportionally to their population, and each district holds an election over local projects and then uses its budget to fund the projects most preferred by its voters. However, district-level participatory budgeting can yield poor social welfare because it does not necessarily fund projects supported across multiple districts. On the other hand, decision making that only takes global social welfare into account can be unfair to districts: A social-welfare-maximizing solution might not fund any of the projects preferred by a district, despite the fact that its constituents pay taxes to the city. Thus, we study how to fairly maximize social welfare in a participatory budgeting setting with a single city-wide election. We propose a notion of fairness that guarantees each district at least as much welfare as it would have received in a district-level election. We show that, although optimizing social welfare subject to this notion of fairness is NP-hard, we can efficiently construct a lottery over welfare-optimal outcomes that is fair in expectation. Moreover, we show that, when we are allowed to slightly relax fairness, we can efficiently compute a fair solution that is welfare-maximizing, but which may overspend the budget.

Ion Channel Based Bio-Synthetic Modulator for Diffusive Molecular Communication
Featured Articles
In diffusion-based molecular communication (DMC), a transmitter nanomachine is responsible for signal modulation. Thereby, the transmitter has to be able to control the release of the signaling molecules employed for representing the transmitted information. In nature, an important class of control mechanisms for releasing molecules from cells utilizes ion channels which are pore-forming proteins across the cell membrane. The opening and closing of the ion channels is controlled by a gating parameter. In this paper, an ion channel based modulator for DMC is proposed which controls the rate of molecule release from the transmitter by modulating a gating parameter signal. Exploiting the capabilities of the proposed modulator, an on-off keying modulation technique is introduced and the corresponding average modulated signal, i.e., the average release rate of the molecules from the transmitter, is analyzed. However, since the modulated signal is random in nature, it may deviate from its average. Therefore, the concept of modulator noise is introduced and the statistics of the modulated signal are investigated. Finally, by assuming a simple transparent receiver, the performance of the proposed on-off keying modulation format is studied. The derived analytical expressions for the average modulated signal are confirmed with particle based simulations. Our numerical results reveal that performance estimates of DMC systems obtained based on the assumption of instantaneous molecule release at the transmitter may substantially deviate from the performance achieved with practical modulators.

When it comes to setting up and maintaining a fish tank, one of the important decisions that you'll need to make is how high to fill the tank with water.
While it may seem like a simple task, the water level in your tank can have a big impact on the tank ecosystem. So, should you fill your fish tank up all the way? Let's explore this question in more detail.
Should You Fill The Fish Tank Up All The Way?
|Tank looks good without visible waterline
|Top swimmer fish can struggle
|More water volume for the fish
|Lack of proper oxygenation
The cons of filling a fish tank all the way up outweigh the pros because the cons have more impact on the tank environment. So it's best to leave some gap between the top of the tank and the water level.
Related Reading: Fish Tank Open Or Closed: Which Is Better?
Here's How Much Space You Should Leave At The Top Of The Fish Tank:
As a general rule, leave a space of 1/2 to 1 inch between the top of the tank and the water level. This space is crucial for proper oxygenation, as it allows for proper surface water movement. Additionally, it provides ample room for top-swimming fish like Bettas to move and breathe comfortably.
The last thing you'd like is for your fish's heads to bump against the top of the tank (cover or hood of the aquarium) every time they swim to the surface. Right?
Pro Tip: Keep the tank water level at the bottom rim where the tank cover sits. This way when you place the cover on top there will still be some gap between the water level and the cover. And the nice thing is, the waterline would still remain hidden behind the rim.
What Would Happen If You Fill The Fish Tank Up All The Way:
1. Lack Of Proper Oxygenation
The gap between the water level and the top of the tank is important for proper water oxygenation because oxygen enters the water primarily through the surface.
When the water level is too high and reaches the top of the tank, it can limit the amount of oxygen that gets into the water. This happens because when the water level is at the top of the tank, there is no space for the water to move and create surface agitation.
This lack of movement prevents the exchange of gasses between the water and the air, which limits the amount of oxygen that can enter the water.
2. Uncomfortable For Top Swimmer Fish
Another issue that can arise when filling a fish tank all the way to the top is that it can be uncomfortable for the fish that are top swimmers.
Fish have natural swimming patterns, and some tend to remain at the top of the tank more often than others. If the water level is too high, it can limit their ability to swim comfortably. This can eventually lead to stress in some fish.
Fish like bettas and cory catfish often swim to the top of the tank, to take a gulp of air. So you need to ensure there is at least a slight gap present so that they can maneuver themselves comfortably.

Should A Fish Tank Filter Be Fully Submerged?
|Filters That Need To Be Submerged:
|Filters That Don't Need To Be Submerged:
|Hang On Back filter
1. Water Level For Sponge Filters
Sponge filters in aquariums are a great way to keep your tank clean and your fish healthy. These filters work by using a porous sponge material to trap debris and other contaminants in the water.
The sponge filter is connected to an air pump, which creates bubbles that flow through the sponge. As the bubbles move through the sponge, they create a suction effect that pulls water into the filter.
Inside the sponge filter, there are also beneficial bacteria that live and grow, these bacteria help to break down harmful ammonia and nitrite, which are produced by fish waste and other organic matter. This helps to keep the water in your tank clean and healthy for your fish.
Sponge filters can be placed anywhere in the tank, as long as they are connected to an air pump. This means that you can place them in a location that works best for you and your fish.
But remember, sponge filters do need to be submerged to work properly regardless of the location you choose.
The suction force is created when air (from air pump) moves through the sponge filter and water gets pulled into the filter through the sponge walls.
If the sponge filter is not submerged in water, the dirt particles couldn't be cleaned.
See Related: How Often Should You Clean Sponge Filters?
2. Water Level For Hang On Back filter
A hang-on-back filter, also known as a HOB filter, is a type of filter that hangs on the back of an aquarium. This type of filter is easy to install and maintain, making it a popular choice among fish tank enthusiasts.
HOB filters work by pulling water from the tank through an intake tube and then pushing it through a filter media, such as activated carbon, ceramic rings, or bio-balls, that removes debris, and other contaminants from the water. The cleaned water then flows back into the tank through the outlet area.
As long as there is some space (height) between the outlet area from where the water falls into the tank – you are good to go.
In general, keep an inch or half-inch gap from the outlet of the HOB filter to the water line. This will ensure the water falls through the Hang on back filter's outlet area into the tank and creates water movement – and helps in oxygenation.

In short, when it comes to filling a fish tank, it is important to consider the impact that the water level has on the tank ecosystem.
Filling the tank all the way up can lead to lack of proper oxygenation and discomfort for top-swimming fish.
It is recommended to leave a gap of 1/2 to 1 inch between the top of the tank and the water level to ensure proper oxygenation and comfortable swimming space for your fish.
Additionally, it's important to note that certain types of filters (like Sponge Filters) need to be fully submerged while others (like HOB filters) need to be hung on the tank wall.
Ultimately, the goal is to create a healthy and comfortable environment for your fish, and paying attention to water level is an important aspect of achieving that goal.

IBM-Q states that the real devices available for public use have a set of "basis" gates consisting of u1,u2,u3 and CNOT. However in Qiskit the circuit can be built with many gates which are not directly one of these. For example the controlled u1 gate is an "elementary operation" in QISKit, but it is not a basis gate in for the device.
In order to have such a circuit be executed on a real device these gates must be decomposed into the device's basis gates. I assume this is handled by the compile function.
Is there an easy way in QISKit to see the quantum circuit after this step has taken place?
The function that handles this is transpile(), which could be found in qiskit.compiler. When you call transpile(circuit, backend) it goes through the compilation process for the input circuit based on the backend you provide. It returns a new circuit that will be valid to run on the provided backend.
You can then view this new circuit just like you would with any circuit, either print(circuit) or circuit.draw().

filter not working
11/21/21
Answered - Pending Review
i have a Text column that is imported from a huge file, filtered down. i can not change it.
System column contains 123456z01, 123456n02, 123456.
i use the filter contain but it will not show "123456".
the only thing i can think of is that is is a number in a text field.
i looked at using contains in the filter and selection all that start with "123456", but some may have 15-20 lines to check.
is there another way that i can get the Contains "123456" to work?
Answers
 - Hi @Stephen Hindes
 You're right, the Filter is unable to identify the selection of numbers from within the text in that column.
 If this is the only number selection you're looking for, I would set up a Helper Checkbox column. Then you can use CONTAINS in a formula which will be able to read through the text for the numbers 123456, like so:
 =IF(CONTAINS(123456, [Column Name]@row), 1, 0)
 You can apply this as a Column Formula and then filter based on if the box is checked or not.
 The other way to find all the matching cells would be to use Find in Smartsheet. This will create a blue border around the first cell, then when you hit "next" it will take you to the next cell with those numbers:
 Cheers,
 Genevieve
 - let me give more detail, i import this file from an excell sheet. it has about _PHONE_ lines. the system numbers (123456) are different. some are number only and some are text (123456Z01). some of the system numbers have 5 numbers, some have 6 or 7. In excell i could do a macro to add apostrophe to the beginning, but when i copy into SS, it still copies as a number not a text.
 is there a formula were i could pull out the numbers only, excluding the character and what is after it? Remember the number could be 5, 6 or 7 characters long.
 - Hi @Stephen Hindes
 Thank you for the clarification! Yes, we can use a formula to extract the 7, 6, or 5 numbers from the left of the text:
 =IFERROR(VALUE(LEFT([System Numbers]@row, 7)), IFERROR(VALUE(LEFT([System Numbers]@row, 6)), VALUE(LEFT([System Numbers]@row, 5))))
 This looks to turn the 7 left characters into a Value (number), but if it errors, it tries the 6 left characters, and if that errors it tries the 5, like so:
 You can turn this into a Column Formula. This way it will only grab the 5 numbers if there isn't 6 or 7, so it doesn't cut anything short. Then you can use the helper column with the Number to filter by!
 Cheers,
 Genevieve

Governors strive to boost higher ed's ranking on political agendas
March 26, 2001
The National Governors Association hosted a roundtable discussion on higher education, Tuesday, March 20, marking the formal launch of an effort to put higher education at the top of state and national agendas.
Goals of the four-year initiative are to expand the dialogue on postsecondary education and help states improve their higher-education systems.
"Governors recognize that economic competitiveness is no longer based on which state can provide the best tax breaks or corporate incentives," said NGA chairman Gov. Parris N. Glendening. "Economic development is being driven by investments in education, particularly in higher education."
The group released five papers it commissioned to describe the economic and demographic forces affective higher education. The essays are available at


Human Resources
A promotion is the advancement of a staff employee into a position that has significantly more responsibility, requires more advanced skills, and has greater decision-making authority. Generally, a promotion occurs on the date that the employee assumes the new role.
There is no amount that is standard for a salary increase in conjunction with a promotion. The amount of a promotion increase depends on the employee's current salary, as well as the salary of the new position. In rare cases, if an employee is already well-compensated, there may be no promotion increase to salary.
Salary increases that are not due to promotion, merit, or across-the-board rarely occur.

Eliminating Fruit and Vegetable Planting Restrictions: How Would Markets Be Affected?
Participants in U.S. farm programs are restricted from planting and harvesting wild rice, fruit, and most vegetables (nonprogram crops) on acreage historically used for program crops (known as base acreage). However, a recent World Trade Organization challenge to U.S. programs has created pressure to eliminate planting restrictions. Although eliminating restrictions would not lead to substantial market impacts for most fruit or vegetables, the effects on individual producers could be significant. Some producers who are already producing fruit and vegetables could find that it is no longer profitable, while others could profitably move into producing these crops. Producers with base acreage are the most likely to benefit because they would no longer face payment reductions.

Indirect editing is typically used in parametric modeling, or history-based systems. With indirect editing, parameters, dimensions and other intelligence is associated to the 3D model and can be used to define possible transformations and relationships. In a history-based system this intelligence is captured in the history-tree at the time the model is being created. In contrast, with a history-free system the intelligence is captured in the B-Rep model, during or after model creation. In either case (history-based or history-free) this intelligence can be used to specify geometry transformations. The added intelligence describes "what" will change, i.e. the geometry, and "how" it will change, i.e. the transformation.
By modifying and processing this intelligence, the resulting 3D geometry will be different. What geometry is actually changed is completely dependent on how the intelligence is setup and structured. It is "indirect transformation" of 3D geometry.
The benefit of this technology (indirect editing) is that you can capture and/or assign a specific behavior to the model. In a situation where you can predict or anticipate future changes this technology can be very useful. It is also useful if it is important to tightly control relationships between faces, features and parts during edits.
This is the environment that most 3D CAD users are familiar with. It is the standard method of changing 3D geometry in a history-based CAD system. Parameters at the 3D level are managed within the history tree and are structured in a parent/child relationship. Structure, relationships and parameters are always being created and ordered in the tree as the model is being developed. The process of properly organizing and managing this structure is not optional. It is something that every history-based CAD user must learn to be profecient with the tool. With history-based modeling you are either adding structure or modifying structure (indirect editing). When changes are made to the history (sketches, parameters, features, order) the tree/model is regenerated and is solved linearly based on the structure of the tree.
In this case it is important to know what the structure is and how a change will impact any child features. As it is linear there will be a "ripple" effect with this technology and as such it is important to know the structure before getting too aggressive with changes. In many cases the ripple effect is desired and equally in many cases it is not.
History tree in Pro/ENGINEER – ordered and structured
With history-based modeling users are actually editing the process and structure, or "recipe" that was defined at the time the model was created. You do not actually modify 3D geometry, but rather modify the recipe and then let the system rebuild the 3D geometry based on the modified recipe. In this context 3D geometry is always being recreated from the recipe rather than being modified.
As with any indirect editing capabilities, it is certainly possible to drive a change that can invalidate the model. Knowing how to work through these issues is critical to good history-based modeling.
This technology has recently been getting a bit of a facelift with what is called "dynamic" or "Instant" modification. With this capability a user can directly select a face or feature of a history-based model and dynamically modify the intelligence (parameters, dimensions) associated with the selected geometry. The intelligence is still solved linearly, but processing is more real time, or "instant". It looks something like direct editing, but it is still indirect and as with any indirect edit, the results are completely dependant on the structure of the intelligence.
This technology is not new but it is foreign to most CAD users. It provides the ability to indirectly manipulate 3D B-Rep geometry through added intelligence (parameters, dimensions) similar to indirect history-based modeling. However in this case parameters are not captured in a tree structure, but are rather captured, or "tagged" directly to the elements of the B-Rep model, i.e. points, edges or faces. Rather than being solved linearly these relationships are solved synchronously, or "nonlinear". The order in which the parameters are assigned has no influence. With this technology there is no ripple effect based on a parent/child relationship, however one relationship can certainly drive another if desired.
Relations Browser in CoCreate Modeling – no order
With history-free indirect editing 3D geometry is actually being modified rather than being recreated as is the case in history-based modeling. There are several different technologies that can be used to modify B-Rep solid models. When modifications of a B-Rep are driven indirectly, the resulting transformation must not invalidate the B-Rep solid model. As we attempt to drive a particular geometry change through an indirect edit the system needs to be intelligent enough to provide the "expected" result, reliably.
As is the case with indirect history-based editing, changing a parameter will result in some change to the geometry. Knowing how the parameters are structured is important in order to make good use of the intelligence and achieve the desired results. As it is not order dependant (linear) it is relatively easy to manipulate this intelligence.
Today there are not many history-free CAD systems that provide this capability. PTC CoCreate Modeling is one of the few that does provide it. Here is an example of history-free indirect editing in CoCreate Modeling that I posted in a previous article:"Design Intent with History Free Modeling"
There are pros and cons to each; history-free indirect editing and history-based indirect editing. Understanding which one can best support your requirements can be a challenge, but will be worth the analysis.
In the next post we will review Direct Editing.

Hydrodynamic modelling approach has been widely applied nowadays. Once a hydraulic model is well developed, it can be used to provide the information on the hydraulic performance of the water system that is useful for water planning and management. In this paper, two case studies in the City of Toronto are presented. The first case study illustrates the application of sewer network model to assess the sewer capacity of the existing sanitary sewer network in Jane-Finch area under present and future growth conditions. The assessment results are helpful for sewer asset planning to meet the demands for the planned future growth in this area.
Defining the best operation of a gate in the City of Toronto Interceptor system is presented in the second case study. This is a complex sewer system having many ancillaries such as weirs, gates, orifices, valves, and pumps. The Interceptor system comprises of Low Level Interceptor (LLI) intercepting the flow from 1,250 ha, High Level Interceptor (HLI) having a service area of 1,550 ha, Mid Toronto Interceptor (MTI) collecting the flow from 3,830 ha, and the Lakefront Interceptor receiving the flow from 256 ha. A hydrodynamic model in which a Real Time Control (RTC) process was applied to the gate operation was developed for the complex City's Interceptor system. Based on the model results, the best strategy of gate operation in terms of minimizing/preventing the reverse flow from MTI to LLI while maximizing the relief for LLI under high flow conditions was identified.

Wind down and loosen up
What's the difference between "wind down" and "loosen up"?
Dictionary says: wind down - to rest or relax after a period of activity or excitement, and, loosen up - to relax and stop worrying.
So, for example, if you're nervous about something at work, or before an exam, you must "loosen up", and if you have been working hard, mm, digging ground, or playing football, and you want to relax, you should "wind down"?
Wind down isn't related to "nervous", when "loosen up" like a.. "calm down"?
And what is the past form of loosen up, loosened up?
Thanks in advance
Lets see the difference if any:
Wind down:Become quiet or calm, especially after a state of agitation.
Wind loose:Become less tense, less formal, or less restrained, and assume a friendlier manner.
I think they are different.

to use the HTML5 History API for Navigation, you can use a custom history.
Svelte Navigator comes with a memory based history, you can use. It is practical for testing.
To create a custom history, pass a history source to the createHistory function.
You could use multiple Routers, that don't interfere with each other, by using a different history for each one.
<script>
 import { Router, createHistory, createMemorySource } from "svelte-navigator";
 const html5History = createHistory(window);
 const memoryHistory = createHistory(createMemorySource());
</script>
<Router history="{html5History}">
 <!-- I will function like the standard Router -->
</Router>
<Router history="{memoryHistory}">
 <!-- I store the history stack in memory -->
</Router>

How to type a bar over/under a letter in mhchem of LaTeX?
I use usepackage mhchem to write chemical equations in LaTeX, it works fine most of time. Today I encountered a problem, how to type a horizontal bar over (or under) a letter?
After some Googling work, here is my solution, combining the command mathrm and overline/underline. The command \underline (\overline) is placing a bar under (over) a letter, while mathrm is remove the italic style of the letter in the math environment.
E.g. to get an chemical equation as follows:
You can use the code below:
\ce{3 C4A\mathrm{\underline{S}}H12 + 2 C\mathrm{\underline{C}} + 18 H -> C6A$\mathrm{\underline{S}_3}$H32 + 2 C4A\mathrm{\underline{C}}H11}
\label{some label}
You are welcome to share your trick with me, thanks.

You certainly can change your data to be in reverse order, then process top down. Add a variable to the data set which acts as an index..then sort the data set descending by that variable.

You can use nobs and point to process it backwards without having to do any intermediate steps. Here's an example:
data backwards;
 do k= nobs to 1 by -1;
 set sashelp.class nobs = nobs point=k;

Successful extraction of Alzheimer's-type dementia finger-tapping patterns
The National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology (NCGG) in Japan has succeeded in identifying an index finger-thumb tapping pattern unique to Alzheimer's-type dementia through clinical research focusing on the rhythmical movement of both hands. This result was achieved using a waveform analysis technique for finger-tapping movement developed by Hitachi, Ltd. which allows a variety of tapping patterns to be extracted from the measurement data on motor ability using the magnetic sensors, such as the discrepancy in contact time between the fingers. This achievement opens the way to advancing tests for the early detection of Alzheimer's-type dementia.
NCGG and Hitachi began clinical research in 2013 to validate the effectiveness of measuring thumb and index-finger movement of both hands for the early detection of Alzheimer's-type dementia drawing on the knowledge that the coordination between the right and left hemisphere of the brain in response to noise becomes slower in patients with severe dementia. Specifically, NCGG conducted measurement using UB1, a magnetic sensor-type finger-tapping equipment developed by Hitachi in 2010, and analyzed the results using the waveform analysis technique also developed by Hitachi. NCGG was able to successfully extract an index finger-thumb tapping pattern unique to Alzheimer's-type dementia, and assessed the characteristics of the finger-tapping movement with high accuracy.

Simple solutions satisfying grid and cloud computational needs
With the maturation of Grid computing facilities and recent explosion of cloud computing data centers, mid-scale computational science has more options than ever before to satisfy computational needs. But heterogeneity brings complexity.
We propose a simple abstraction for interaction with heterogeneous resource managers spanning grid and cloud computing, and on features that make the tool useful for the mid-scale physical or natural scientist. Key strengths of the abstraction are:
- its support for multiple standard job specification languages
- preservation of direct user interaction with the service
- removing the delay that can come through layers of services
- the predictable behavior under heavy loads
