 - When a bubble item is sent to Ghost Kirby's mouth, he will inflate and drop on the ground and remain motionless until the item is either swallowed or discarded; this happens with the UFO ability as well.
 - Although not seen as a Copy Ability, Kirby is seen in a ghost costume in the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episode Scare Tactics - Part II.
 - This is one of the few abilities to change the appearance of Kirby's hands. Others include Animal, where Kirby's hands have claws, UFO, where his hands disappear entirely, Burning, where his hands catch flame, and ESP, where his hands hold psychic energy.
 - While not appearing in Kirby Battle Royale, a ghost enemy appears in the Coin Clash Battle Mode. Players that are captured by the ghost pass it off to other players by performing a dash move, similarly to how the Ghost ability uses Tackle.
 - Applying the effects of Ghost manually to enemies normally not controllable reveals that movesets for these enemies (including mid-bosses, Gordo, Shotzo and the Squeaks) were included but went unused.[1]

(Special) Is it true that deleting files from an SSD can 'kill' you?
This is more or less true, but first we have to understand the root of the problem. If you don't know, erasing information from a disc does not directly erase it. That is, the file is still there, it was just removed from the disk directory (the system that manages all files and their location.)
Very briefly, when you delete a file from your hard drive, you are just marking that space as free, even though there are still files.
(Special) Is it true that deleting files from an SSD can harm you?
SSD
Therefore, what creates damage in an SSD is the writing of information. Basically, whenever you record something on an SSD, it is making a small dent in its durability. This is because the memory cells of these drives have a very low average life expectancy.
Therefore, there is a limit to the number of times that you can write information in each of these cells, before they become unusable.
In short, any act of writing damages your SSD. That said, it is not the deletion of files that causes a dent, it is the addition or modification of these.

Both a live backup and a transaction log mirror provide a secondary copy of the transaction log. However, there are several differences between using a live backup and using a transaction log mirror:
In general, a live backup is made to a different computer By running the Backup utility on a separate computer, the database server does not do the writing of the backed up log file, and the data transfer is done by the SQL Anywhere client/server communications system. Therefore, the performance impact is decreased and reliability is greater.
Running a transaction log mirror on a separate computer is not recommended. It can lead to performance and data corruption problems, and stops the database server if the connection between the computers fails.
A live backup provides protection against a computer becoming unusable Even if a transaction log mirror is kept on a separate device, it does not provide immediate recovery if the whole computer becomes unusable. You could consider an arrangement where two computers share access to a set of disks.
A live backup may lag behind the database server A transaction log mirror contains all the information required for complete recovery of committed transactions. Depending on the load that the database server is processing, the live backup may lag behind the transaction log mirror and may not contain all the committed transactions.

I'm asking this question in order to better understand the optimizer's behavior and to understand the limits around index spools. Suppose that I put integers from 1 to 10000 into a heap:
CREATE TABLE X_10000 (ID INT NOT NULL);
truncate table X_10000;
INSERT INTO X_10000 WITH (TABLOCK)
SELECT TOP 10000 ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
FROM master..spt_values t1
CROSS JOIN master..spt_values t2;
And force a nested loop join with MAXDOP 1:
SELECT *
FROM X_10000 a
INNER JOIN X_10000 b ON a.ID = b.ID
OPTION (LOOP JOIN, MAXDOP 1);
This is a rather unfriendly action to take towards SQL Server. Nested loop joins often aren't a good choice when both tables don't have any relevant indexes. Here's the plan:
bad query
The query takes 13 seconds on my machine with 100000000 rows fetched from the table spool. However, I don't see why the query has to be slow. The query optimizer has the ability to create indexes on the fly through index spools. This query seems like it would be a perfect candidate for an index spool.
The following query returns the same results as the first one, has an index spool, and finishes in less than a second:
SELECT *
FROM X_10000 a
CROSS APPLY (SELECT TOP (9223372036854775807) b.ID FROM X_10000 b WHERE a.ID = b.ID) ca
OPTION (LOOP JOIN, MAXDOP 1);
workaround 1
This query also has an index spool and finishes in less than a second:
SELECT *
FROM X_10000 a
INNER JOIN X_10000 b ON a.ID >= b.ID AND a.ID <= b.ID
OPTION (LOOP JOIN, MAXDOP 1);
workaround 2
Why doesn't the original query have an index spool? Is there any set of documented or undocumented hints or trace flags that will give it an index spool? I did find this related question, but it doesn't fully answer my question and I can't get the mysterious trace flag to work for this query.
19
As you know, the optimizer's search is not exhaustive. It tries things that make sense in context, and which frequently pay dividends on real queries. Forcing a loop join between two single-column unindexed heap tables is not such a scenario. That said, here are some details:
SQL Server likes to transform applies to joins early, because it knows more tricks with joins. Later on, it may explore converting the join back to an apply. The difference between the two being correlated parameters (outer references). Applies make sense when there is a suitable index on the inner side. Your example has no indexes, so the optimizer is not persuaded to explore translation to an apply.
A simple (non-apply) join has the join predicate on the join operator instead of outer references. The spool optimization for a non-apply is typically a lazy table spool, since there is no predicate on the inner side, only at the join.
The optimizer does not consider building an index on the fly to enable an apply; rather the sequence of events is usually the reverse: transform to apply because a good index exists.
You can sometimes encourage an apply rather than a join by using APPLY syntax in your query. The undocumented trace flag 9114 can assist in this by dissuading the optimizer from translating a logical apply to a join up front. For example:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.X_1000 AS a
CROSS APPLY (SELECT * FROM dbo.X_1000 AS b WHERE b.ID = a.ID) AS b
OPTION (QUERYTRACEON 9114);
Spool plan
An index spool is favoured for apply because the outer reference means the selection is applied on the inner side of the join. You will often see this via SelToIndexOnTheFly but other paths exist.

Although the examples here are configured for specific data models and architecture, in principle, the flexibility of axpand system allows it to be configured for any data model or infrastructure.To make automation as effective as possible, automation components must be part of a recurring set of process steps which maintain the manual changes to map data and allow intervention at any step of the process chain.This can be done without waiting for the entire data set to be updated.
Illustration 2a shows data after the first import from the DLM data. An example of how an initial generalization takes place is as follows: A DLM road object is delivered from the primary data base to the automation component.
Objects that are manually changed are automatically stored as DCM objects and also maintain a relationship to the source object.
The system maintains a history of all the changes the object ungoes over time so that objects that have been manually edited are considered during recurring automatic updating.
In order to meet the need for ever-increasing recurring, efficient and short updating cycles, Axes Systems' cartography system have been integrated into several map production process scenarios.
Using case studies from the field, this article describes some of the ways that the axpand is currently being used for automatic map production.

Making Real Options Really Work
Real options method example. Real options valuation
This is the first of two articles which considers how real options can be incorporated into investment appraisal decisions.
A real option is an economically valuable right to make or else abandon some choice that is available to the managers of a company, often concerning business projects or investment opportunities. Real options differ thus from financial options contracts since they involve real i. Key Takeaways A real option gives a firm's management the right, but turbo options rating the obligation to undertake certain business opportunities or investments.
real options method example system of earning on binary options
Real option refer to projects involving tangible assets versus financial instruments. Real options can include the decision to expand, defer or wait, or abandon a project entirely. Real options have economic value, which financial analysts and corporate managers use to inform their decisions.
Using real options value analysis ROVmanagers can estimate the opportunity cost of continuing or abandoning a project and make better decisions accordingly. It is important to note that real options do real options method example refer to a derivative financial instrument, such as call and put options contracts, which give the holder the right to buy or sell an underlying asset, respectively.

Real Options Valuation The precise value of real options can be difficult to establish or estimate. For instance, real option value may be realized from a company undertaking socially responsible projects, such as building a community center. By doing so, the company may realize a benefit that makes it easier to obtain necessary permits or approval for other projects.
Investment appraisal and real options
real options method example make money get rich quick
The net present value is the cash flow that's expected as a result of the new project, but those flows are discounted by a rate that could otherwise be earned for doing nothing. The alternative rate or discount rate might be the rate of a U.
Treasury bond, for example. Some valuation models use terminology from derivatives markets wherein the strike price corresponds to non-recoverable costs involved with the project. In the derivatives world, the strike would be the price at which the options contract converts into the underlying security that is based on.
Integrating Options and Discounted Cash Flow
Real options must also consider the risk involved, and it too could be assigned a value similar to volatility. Other methods of valuing real options include Monte Carlo simulationswhich use mathematical calculations to assign probabilities to various outcomes given certain variables and risks.
Adjusting for Cost
The real options heuristic is simply the recognition of the value embodied in the flexibility of choosing among alternatives despite the fact that their objective values cannot be mathematically determined with any degree of certainty. Even if a quantitative model is employed to value a real option, the choice of the model itself is based on judgement and often a trial-and-error approach since the choices available can vary across firms and project managers.
Having options affords the freedom to make optimal choices in decisions, such as when and where to make a specific capital expenditure. Various management choices to make investments can give companies real options to take additional actions in the future, based on existing market conditions. In short, real options are about companies making decisions and choices that grant them the greatest amount of flexibility and potential benefit regarding possible future decisions or choices.
Choices that Fall Under Real Options The choices that corporate managers face that typically fall under real options analysis are under three categories of real options method example management.
Navigation menu
The first group are options relating to the size of a project. Depending on the ROV analysis, options may exist to expand, contract, or expand and contract the project over time, given various contingencies. Real options are most appropriate when the economic environment and market conditions relating to a particular project are both highly volatile yet flexible.

Filtering & Faceting
Introduction
There are multiple ways to filter your results using Algolia. You can filter by date, by numerical value, by tag. You can also use facets, which are a filter with the added benefits of being able to retrieve and display the values to filter by.
Let's see how all of these work!
Filtering
There are several way to filter a result set, depending on the attribute you want to filter by, please consider one of the following methods:
Filter by Numerical Value
Numerical Values Indexing
Algolia supports indexing of numerical values (integers, doubles and boolean). This can be used for searching for products in a given price range for example.
To enable it, you need to have objects with numerical attributes (ensure your numerical values are not encoded as strings, for boolean we transform false as 0 and true as 1).
Considering the following object with its price attribute:
{
 "title": "Apple MacBook Pro 15.4-Inch Laptop with Retina Display",
 "price": 2594,
 "url": "_URL_
}, {
 "title": "Apple iPhone 5S - 32GB",
 "price": 969.99,
 "url": "_URL_
},
// [...]
You can search with numeric conditions on the price. We support six operators: <, <=, =, >, >= and !=.
// search only with a numeric filter
index.search({
 filters: 'price>1000'
}, function searchDone(err, content) {
 if (err) {
 console.error(err);
 return;
 }
 console.log(content);
});
// search by query string and numeric filter
index.search('los', {
 filters: 'price>1000'
}, function searchDone(err, content) {
 if (err) {
 console.error(err);
 return;
 }
 console.log(content);
});
// search only with a numeric filter
Query* query = [Query new];
query.filters = @"price>1000";
[index search:query completionHandler:^(NSDictionary* content, NSError* error) {
 if (content == nil) {
 NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
 return;
 }
 NSLog(@"Results: %@", content);
}];
// search by query string and numeric filter
query = [Query new];
query.query = @"los";
query.filters = @"price>1000";
[index search:query completionHandler:^(NSDictionary* content, NSError* error) {
 // [...]
}];
// search only with a numeric filter
var query = Query()
query.filters = "price>1000"
index.search(query) { (content, error) in
 guard let content = content else {
 print("Error: \(error)")
 return
 }
 print("Results: \(content)")
}
// search by query string and numeric filter
query = Query()
query.query = "los"
query.filters = "price>1000"
index.search(query) { (content, error) in
 // [...]
}
// search only with a numeric filter
Query query = new Query();
query.setFilters("price>1000");
index.searchAsync(query, new CompletionHandler() {
 @Override
 public void requestCompleted(JSONObject content, AlgoliaException error) {
 if (content == null) {
 System.err.println("Error: " + error);
 return;
 }
 System.out.println("Results: " + content);
 }
});
// search by query string and numeric filter
query = new Query();
query.setFilters("price>1000");
query.setQuery("los");
index.searchAsync(query, new CompletionHandler() {
 @Override
 public void requestCompleted(JSONObject content, AlgoliaException error) {
 // [...]
 }
});
You can also mix OR and AND operators. The OR operator is defined with a parenthesis syntax (warning: != cannot be ORed). For example (code=1 AND (price:[0-100] OR price:[_PHONE_])) translates in:
// search by query string and complex numerical conditions
index.search('los', {
 filters: 'code=1 AND (price:1000 TO 3000 OR price:10 TO 100)'
}, function searchDone(err, content) {
 if (err) {
 console.error(err);
 return;
 }
 console.log(content);
});
// search by query string and complex numerical conditions
Query* query = [Query new];
query.query = @"los";
query.filters = @"code=1 AND (price:1000 TO 3000 OR price:10 TO 100)";
[index search:query completionHandler:^(NSDictionary* content, NSError* error) {
 // [...]
}];
// search by query string and complex numerical conditions
let query = Query()
query.query = "los"
query.filters = "code=1 AND (price:1000 TO 3000 OR price:10 TO 100)"
index.search(query) { (content, error) in
 // [...]
}
// search by query string and complex numerical conditions
Query query = new Query();
query.setQuery("los");
query.setFilters("code=1 AND (price:1000 TO 3000 OR price:10 TO 100)");
index.searchAsync(query, new CompletionHandler() {
 @Override
 public void requestCompleted(JSONObject content, AlgoliaException error) {
 // [...]
 }
});
Filter by date
Algolia supports indexing of dates. To enable search by date, you must convert your dates in numeric values. We recommend to use a unix timestamp as illustrated by the following record:
{
 "objectID": "myID1",
 "name": "Jimmy",
 "company": "Paint Inc.",
 "date": _PHONE_ // UNIX timestamp as an integer
}
You can then use standard numeric operators in your search. You can even search by date range by combining two operators as illustrated by the following example:
// search by date between 2013-03-10 & 2013-04-20
index.search({
 filters: 'date>=_PHONE_ AND date<=_PHONE_'
}, function searchDone(err, content) {
 if (err) {
 console.error(err);
 return;
 }
 console.log(content);
});
// search by date between 2013-03-10 & 2013-04-20
Query* query = [Query new];
query.filters = @"date>=_PHONE_ AND date<=_PHONE_";
[index search:query completionHandler:^(NSDictionary* content, NSError* error) {
 // [...]
}];
// search by date between 2013-03-10 & 2013-04-20
let query = Query()
query.filters = "date>=_PHONE_ AND date<=_PHONE_"
index.search(query) { (content, error) in
 // [...]
}
// search by date between 2013-03-10 & 2013-04-20
Query query = new Query();
query.setFilters("date>=_PHONE_ AND date<=_PHONE_");
index.searchAsync(query, new CompletionHandler() {
 @Override
 public void requestCompleted(JSONObject content, AlgoliaException error) {
 // [...]
 }
});
In the case you need to index and filter on dates previous to the 1st January 1970, you can convert the date following a rule like: year * 10000 + month * 100 + day. The 30th March 1964 will then become _PHONE_.
Filter by tag
Algolia supports indexing of categories (tags) that you can use when searching for a specific kind of objects.
To enable it, you need to index objects with a _tags attribute that contains the list of their categories (You can also use faceting, tags is just a simplified version of faceting).
Here is an example indexing products with tags:
{
 "title": "Apple MacBook Pro 15.4-Inch Laptop with Retina Display"
 "url": "_URL_
 "_tags": ["laptop", "computer", "retina"],
},
{
 "title": "Apple iPhone 5S - 32GB",
 "url": "_URL_
 "_tags": ["phone", "smartphone", "retina"]
},


Relationships among selected variables and quality of life in healthy older adults /
by 1973- Thievon, Susan Lea
Abstract (Summary)
The purpose of this study was to examine the predictive relationships of physical activity, social support, and physical symptoms with mental and physical health-related quality of life in community-dwelling older adults. This secondary analysis of data used a predictive correlational design, using bivarate correlations and multiple regression analysis. A sample size of 215 community dwelling older adults was obtained. Results of data analysis revealed sample characteristics of a mean age of 70 (range 55-93), 29% male, 99.5% white, 65% married, well educated, and moderate income. Physical activity significantly positively correlated with physical and mental quality of life (r =.678, p <.001; r =.281, p <.001, respectively). Social support significantly positively correlated with physical and mental quality of life (r =.158, p <.05; r =.212, p <.01, respectively). Symptom distress significantly negatively correlated with physical and mental quality of life (r = -.443, p <.001; r = -.435, p <.001, respectively). Hierarchal regression, controlling for age, income, and work status, revealed that physical activity, social support, symptom distress, and mental quality of life together significantly predicted 55% of the variance in physical quality of life (R =.743, R2 =.552, p<.01). Hierarchal regression, controlling for income, revealed that physical symptom distress, social support, physical activity, and physical quality of life significantly predicted 28% of the variance in mental quality of life (R =.529, R2 =.280, p<.01). In conclusion, physical activity level, social support, and physical symptom distress significantly predict both physical and mental quality of 8 life in older adults. Interventions addressing these variables should be further developed and tested in similar and diverse populations of elderly. 9

Proparco invested US$2 million in Accion Venture Lab's new fund, adding together with global nonprofit Accion and a group of third-party impact and commercial investors, $33M to the initial Venture Lab's capital pool. Since its launch in 2012, Accion Venture Lab has proven itself as a leader in fintech impact investing at the seed stage. This increased capital will allow Accion Venture Lab to further develop its activities in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The rise of fintech holds great potential in developing countries where a significant part of the population remains under-banked and lacks access to financial services. Women and population living in rural areas in particular would benefit greatly from such financial services allowing them to finance their businesses and facilitating savings, payments or access to credit.
The Accion Venture Lab fund intends to support startups in the early stage of their development, helping them grow and increase their impact until they can access capital provided by later-stage investors. Accessing early stage funding remains a major difficulty for young startups in developing countries.
After a $3 million investment in Jumo in 2018, this is Proparco's second operation specifically dedicated to the fintech ecosystem in developing countries. It illustrates Proparco's commitment to innovation and financial inclusion in developing countries.
This project is also in line with the French initiative Choose Africa. Launched in March 2019, this $2.5 billion initiative ambitions to support close to 10,000 startups and MSMEs in Africa by the end of 2022.

(June 2008) | pdf
What is a skill panel?A skill panel is a group of skilled workers who have in-depth knowledge of the hands-on skills required to perform the job tasks in a technical position. The skills required to perform the job tasks are identified by the skill panel as the skill standards.
How are skill standards used?
- Industry: Recruiting, hiring, training and promoting employees
- Incumbent Workforce: Advancing careers and/or reentering the workforce
- Future Workforce/Students: Understanding and acquiring skills needed to attain high wage jobs
- Labor: Ensuring employees benefit from high paying career opportunities
- Government: Linking education reform initiatives, workforce training and economic development
- Educators and Trainers: Developing curriculum and teaching to the required skills sets
Have skill standards been developed for the energy industry?Yes, Walla Walla Community College developed skill standards with industry support for the following positions:
- Instrument/Control/Relay/Meter Technician
Skill Standards for the Energy Industry-2006 ProjectAlan Hardcastle, WSU Research Analyst
Skills Standards for Operators and MechanicsSkill Standards are the industry-defined skills, knowledge and abilities required for individuals to succeed in the workplace. The standards specify what students, job seekers and current employees must know and be able to do within a particular industry and occupation, including the required levels of performance.
The standards can be used by colleges, high schools and training organizations to make sure that their programs are up-to-date, to attract students to careers in the industry, and to ensure that students and workers get high quality training. The standards can also be used as the basis for awarding college credit for prior learning. Employers and Labor can use the results to better understand the foundational skills workers need to do their jobs effectively, to design or improve training programs, and as a precursor to existing programs like apprenticeship.
Who Participates? Employees are the ExpertsSkill standards are defined through focus groups of employees who actually work in the occupations being studied. The focus groups will consist of 12 front-line employees who represent similar kinds of occupations, from many different companies and energy sectors (hyrdo, thermal). The group may also contain managers or other knowledgeable persons with extensive, current knowledge about those occupations.
How Industry Can Contribute - Recruiting ParticipantsOur goal is to recruit 12 participants for each two-day focus group meeting: one group for operators, and one for mechanics. We need employers and labor partners to identify and support employees to participate in the meetings. It is imperative that we have an adequate number of knowledgeable employees from each occupation participate so the standards will be valid for the industry. Each 12-person focus group should have a roughly equal number of participants from each sector: Hydro and thermal. We also want employees from many different organizations to ensure that a range of work environments is represented.
Responding to Surveys: Written surveys will be used to supplement data collection from industry about foundation skills required for these occupations.
The ProcessThe focus group meeting will last two consecutive days. A facilitator with experience in developing skill standards leads the meeting. There is a set agenda, but the format is very interactive and discussion-based. Getting input from all participants about their work functions, activities, knowledge and skills is one key goal. Reaching agreement about the scope and content of the information is another. The process includes fast-paced and intensive discussions about work functions, activities and skills, but it is also a fun and rewarding experience for participants. Draft copies of the standards will be reviewed by industry before a final document is produced this summer.

, abstract = {In this paper we present a web-based software solution to the problem of implementing real-time collaborative neuroimage visualization. In both clinical and research settings, simple and powerful access to imaging technologies across multiple devices is becoming increasingly useful. Prior technical solutions have used a server-side rendering and push-to-client model wherein only the server has the full image dataset. We propose a rich client solution in which each client has all the data and uses the Google Drive Realtime API for state synchronization. We have developed a small set of reusable client-side object-oriented JavaScript modules that make use of the XTK toolkit, a popular open-source JavaScript library also developed by our team, for the in-browser rendering and visualization of brain image volumes. Efficient realtime communication among the remote instances is achieved by using just a small JSON object, comprising a representation of the XTK image renderers{\textquoteright} state, as the Google Drive Realtime collaborative data model. The developed open-source JavaScript modules have already been instantiated in a web-app called MedView, a distributed collaborative neuroimage visualization application that is delivered to the users over the web without requiring the installation of any extra software or browser plugin. This responsive application allows multiple physically distant physicians or researchers to cooperate in real time to reach a diagnosis or scientific conclusion. It also serves as a proof of concept for the capabilities of the presented technological solution.}, doi = {10.3389/fninf.2017.00032}, author = {Bernal-Rusiel, Jorge L and Rannou, Nicolas and Gollub, Randy L and Pieper, Steve and Murphy, Shawn and Robertson, Richard and Grant, Patricia E and Pienaar, Rudolph} } @article {_PHONE_, title = {Microscopic Interpretation and Generalization of the Bloch-Torrey Equation for Diffusion Magnetic Resonance}, journal = {J Magn Reson}, volume = {277}, year = {2017}, month = {2017 Apr}, pages = {95-103}, abstract = {In order to bridge microscopic molecular motion with macroscopic diffusion MR signal in complex structures, we propose a general stochastic model for molecular motion in a magnetic field.

From the propagator we derive a generalized version of the Bloch-Torrey equation and the relation to the random phase approach. This derivation does not require assumptions such as a spatially constant diffusion coefficient, or ad hoc selection of a propagator. In particular, the boundary conditions that implicitly incorporate the microstructure into the diffusion MR signal can now be included explicitly through a spatially varying diffusion coefficient. While our generalization is reduced to the conventional Bloch-Torrey equation for piecewise constant diffusion coefficients, it also predicts scenarios in which an additional term to the equation is required to fully describe the MR signal.}, issn = {_PHONE_}, doi = {10.1016/j.jmr.2017.01.018}, author = {Seroussi, Inbar and Grebenkov, Denis S and Pasternak, Ofer and Sochen, Nir} } @article {_PHONE_, title = {Quantifying the Brain{\textquoteright}s Sheet Structure with Normalized Convolution}, journal = {Med Image Anal}, volume = {39}, year = {2017}, month = {2017 Apr 04}, pages = {162-77}, abstract = {The hypothesis that brain pathways form 2D sheet-like structures layered in 3D as "pages of a book" has been a topic of debate in the recent literature. This hypothesis was mainly supported by a qualitative evaluation of "path neighborhoods" reconstructed with diffusion MRI (dMRI) tractography. Notwithstanding the potentially important implications of the sheet structure hypothesis for our understanding of brain structure and development, it is still considered controversial by many for lack of quantitative analysis. A means to quantify sheet structure is therefore necessary to reliably investigate its occurrence in the brain. Previous work has proposed the Lie bracket as a quantitative indicator of sheet structure, which could be computed by reconstructing path neighborhoods from the peak orientations of dMRI orientation density functions. Robust estimation of the Lie bracket, however, is challenging due to high noise levels and missing peak orientations. We propose a novel method to estimate the Lie bracket that does not involve the reconstruction of path neighborhoods with tractography. This method requires the computation of derivatives of the fiber peak orientations, for which we adopt an approach called normalized convolution. With simulations and experimental data we show that the new approach is more robust with respect to missing peaks and noise. We also demonstrate that the method is able to quantify to what extent sheet structure is supported for dMRI data of different species, acquired with different scanners, diffusion weightings, dMRI sampling schemes, and spatial resolutions. The proposed method can also be used with directional data derived from other techniques than dMRI, which will facilitate further validation of the existence of sheet structure.}, issn = {_PHONE_}, doi = {10.1016/j.media.2017.03.007}, author = {Tax, Chantal M W and Westin, Carl-Fredrik and Dela Haije, Tom and Fuster, Andrea and Viergever, Max A and Calabrese, Evan and Florack, Luc and Leemans, Alexander} } @proceedings {_PHONE_, title = {Proceedings of the 9th Image Guided Therapy Workshop}, volume = {9}, year = {2017}, pages = {1-54}, author = {Kapur, Tina and Clare M.

Facebook Communication System - Status Updates, Messages, Chat
Facebook publishing box
The Facebook publishing box is where people type status updates and post to the network. An audience selector below it controls who can see each message.
Communication is the heartbeat of Facebook and takes place in various forms, including three major ones:
Status Updates
"Status update" is what Facebook calls a message that you post via the publishing box that says "What's on your mind?" The publishing box (shown in the image above) appears at the top of both your home page and Timeline page. People use status updates to communicate their activities, post links to news stories, share photos and videos, and comment on life in general.
Internal Messages
Messages are private notes you can send any friend you're connected with on Facebook; they're viewable only by the person to whom they're sent and do not go into the news feed or ticker for viewing by your network of friends. Rather, each message goes into the recipient's Facebook inbox which functions like a private email address. (Each user is actually assigned a _EMAIL_ email address for this private inbox.) By default, messages also get forwarded to the external email address the user has provided to Facebook.
Live Chat
Chat is Facebook's name for its instant messaging system. You can engage in real-time conversation with any of your Facebook friends who happen to be online and signed in at the same time as you are. The Facebook Chat box is on the lower right side of the interface and contains a small green dot next to "Chat." Clicking it will open the chat box and show a green dot next to the name of friends who happen to be signed into Facebook at that time. Facebook Chat has a gear icon with settings you can change to determine who can see that you're online and when.

What Is The Difference Between @RequestBody And @RequestParam?
Can RequestParam be null?
You could change the @RequestParam type to an Integer and make it not required.
This would allow your request to succeed, but it would then be null.
You could explicitly set it to your default value in the controller method: @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod..
What is the use of @ResponseBody annotation in spring?
@ResponseBody is a Spring annotation which binds a method return value to the web response body. It is not interpreted as a view name. It uses HTTP Message converters to convert the return value to HTTP response body, based on the content-type in the request HTTP header.
What is an advice in spring?
Advice is an action taken by an aspect at a particular join point. Different types of advice include "around," "before" and "after" advice. The main purpose of aspects is to support cross-cutting concerns, such as logging, profiling, caching, and transaction management.
Can a GET method have body?
GET requests don't have a request body, so all parameters must appear in the URL or in a header. While the HTTP standard doesn't define a limit for how long URLs or headers can be, mostHTTP clients and servers have a practical limit somewhere between 2 kB and 8 kB.
What is @RequestParam?
@RequestParam is a Spring annotation used to bind a web request parameter to a method parameter. It has the following optional elements: defaultValue – used as a fallback when the request parameter is not provided or has an empty value.
What is @RequestBody in spring?
Simply put, the @RequestBody annotation maps the HttpRequest body to a transfer or domain object, enabling automatic deserialization of the inbound HttpRequest body onto a Java object. First, let's have a look at a Spring controller method: @PostMapping("/request")
Can we use @RequestBody with get?
Yes, you can send a request body with GET but it should not have any meaning.
Can we have two @RequestBody?
You are correct, @RequestBody annotated parameter is expected to hold the entire body of the request and bind to one object, so you essentially will have to go with your options. Now just register this with Spring MVC.
What is the use of @RequestBody?
@RequestBody and @ResponseBody annotations are used to bind the HTTP request/response body with a domain object in method parameter or return type. Behind the scenes, these annotation uses HTTP Message converters to convert the body of HTTP request/response to domain objects.
What is @QueryParam in REST API?
Basically, @QueryParam denotes that the value of the Query Parameter with the corresponding name will be parsed, and if parsed correctly it will be available on the method argument denoted with @QueryParam . There are baically two ways to pass parameters in a GET request in REST services.
What is difference between @RequestParam and @PathVariable?
As the name suggests, @RequestParam is used to get the request parameters from URL, also known as query parameters, while @PathVariable extracts values from URI. The required=false denotes that the query parameter can be optional, but the URL must have the same URI.
What is difference between @controller and @RestController in spring?
Difference between @RestController and @Controller in Spring. … The @Controller is a common annotation that is used to mark a class as Spring MVC Controller while @RestController is a special controller used in RESTFul web services and the equivalent of @Controller + @ResponseBody.
What is @RequestParam in Spring MVC?
In Spring MVC, the @RequestParam annotation is used to read the form data and bind it automatically to the parameter present in the provided method. So, it ignores the requirement of HttpServletRequest object to read the provided data.
How do you pass parameter in Postman?
Request Parameters in PostmanJust prepare a GET Request in Postman with the URL _URL_ and then click on Params.Write the following things written under Key-Value pair as shown. … Look at the preview, you would see that instead of the google home page we have received a response for a specific search query which is ToolsQA.
Is RequestParam required by default?
Method parameters annotated with @RequestParam are required by default. will correctly invoke the method. When the parameter isn't specified, the method parameter is bound to null.
What is @RequestBody?
This is used to convert the body of the HTTP request to the java class object with the aid of selected HTTP message converter. This annotation will be used in the method parameter and the body of the http request will be mapped to that method parameter.
What is difference between @PathParam and PathVariable?
The @PathVariable annotation is used for data passed in the URI (e.g. RESTful web services) while @RequestParam is used to extract the data found in query parameters. These annotations can be mixed together inside the same controller. @PathParam is a JAX-RS annotation that is equivalent to @PathVariable in Spring.
What is @RequestMapping?
@RequestMapping is one of the most common annotation used in Spring Web applications. This annotation maps HTTP requests to handler methods of MVC and REST controllers. In this post, you'll see how versatile the @RequestMapping annotation is when used to map Spring MVC controller methods.

International Festivals are common in all countries. However countries hosting international festivals are unaware of the expectations and behavior of travellers related to their food choice behavior before their visit. A study was conducted with specific reference to Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF), Sarawak, Malaysia, to explore the food choice behavior of international travellers relating to neophobic behavior. The study followed interpretive research philosophy and exploratory study design with phenomenological interpretations, case studies and Delphi method. The research design integrated a longitudinal design during 2016 to 2017 period to develop a food choice consumer behavior model with triangulated tools and methods, identified causative factors related to consumer food choices. The study followed purposive sampling with a sample of 148travelers during the festival and data collection was done with the triangulated tools of indepth interviews, content analysis and observation following phenomenology method. The investigators came up with a thematic model in relation to food choice behavior of RWMF travelers, by extending theoretical and practical contributions.

zoxide is a fast and smart alternative to the cd command. Built on Rust, zoxide outperforms many similar commands, and its directory ranking algorithm helps you navigate quick.
Learn more about zoxide in this guide, including how to install and get started using it on your Linux system.
Before You Begin
 1. Familiarize yourself with our Getting Started with Linode guide, and complete the steps for setting your Linode's hostname and timezone.
 2. This guide uses sudo wherever possible. Complete the sections of our How to Secure Your Server guide to create a standard user account, harden SSH access, and remove unnecessary network services.
 3. Update your system.
 - On Debian and Ubuntu, use the following command:
 sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

 - On AlmaLinux, CentOS (8 or later), or Fedora, use the following command:
 sudo dnf upgrade

 - On CentOS 7 or earlier, use the following command:
 sudo yum update

Note
The steps in this guide are written for non-root users. Commands that require elevated privileges are prefixed with sudo. If you're not familiar with the sudo command, see the Linux Users and Groups guide.
What is zoxide?
zoxide is an alternative to the cd command, offering faster performance and smarter navigation capabilities. Like the tools mentioned below, much of the power of zoxide is in its directory ranking based on your usage. Its ranking algorithm can quickly match partial paths, even single search terms, with one of your most used directories.
zoxide vs Similar Tools
Several similar cd alternatives exist. Most notably, there is z, autojump, and fasd.
So, what sets zoxide apart?
First, zoxide is fast. This is the case not only compared to cd itself but even to the other alternatives. zoxide is built on Rust, and, like many tools taking advantage of the Rust environment, zoxide is performant.
Second, zoxide aims for a minimal and ergonomic interface rather than an abundance of features. A tool like autojump has more abilities, but a deeper understanding is needed to use it. Even more so with fasd, which aspires to be a "command-line productivity booster". It includes a suite of methods for short-cutting common navigation and file related commands. In fact, if what you're looking for is a full-featured productivity booster, fasd is a tool worth exploring.
zoxide focuses on providing a handy, fast, and intelligent cd alternative. It avoids the other embellishments to hone its interface into something sharp and intuitive. So, if what you're looking for is just that — a tight and performant cd replacement — zoxide is a good choice.
How to Install zoxide
 1. Install zoxide from you system's package manager:
 - On Debian and Ubuntu, install zoxide using APT:
 sudo apt install zoxide

 - On AlmaLinux and CentOS, use the COPR plugin to enable the zoxide repository on DNF, and then install zoxide from there:
 sudo dnf copr enable atim/zoxide
 sudo dnf install zoxide

 If you are on CentOS 7, you need to install DNF and the COPR plugin before executing the above commands:
 sudo yum install dnf
 sudo dnf install 'dnf-command(copr)'

 - On Fedora, install zoxide directly using DNF:
 sudo dnf install zoxide

 2. Have your shell initialize zoxide with each shell session. You can do so by adding the following line to the end of your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file, depending on the shell you're using:
 File: ~/.bashrc
 1
 2
 3

 # [...]

 eval "$(zoxide init bash)"
 If you're using Zsh, replace bash with zsh in the line shown above.
 3. Confirm your installation using the following command:
 zoxide --version

 zoxide v0.7.5
Set Up fzf Integration (Optional)
zoxide can integrate with fzf to provide you with interactive selection when you have multiple matching directories. All you need to do is install fzf, which you can learn how to do in our guide How to Install and Use fzf.
How to Use zoxide
As with similar tools, zoxide has to first "learn" directories for its ranking algorithm. So, to begin, navigate to some directories just like you would with cd, but using the z command instead.
You can use the following series of commands to do just that. The examples that follow in this guide use these commands as a baseline to show you how the zoxide algorithm operates:
z /etc/opt
z /etc/ssh
z /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d
z /usr/local/bin
z /var/log
Once you've taught zoxide your frequently visited directories, you can begin using abbreviated directory searches. For instance, to navigate into the /etc/ssh directory after using the above commands, you can enter z ssh.
Notice that using z ssh command takes you to /etc/ssh. However, try using the following command three or four times:
z config
After doing that, the next time you use the z ssh command, you are taken to the /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d directory. Why? Because zoxide has ranked it as your most frequent visited directory that matches the search query ssh.
You can use the following command to get back to /etc/ssh. This works because the provided search terms more closely match the directory.
z etc ssh
zoxide also supports partial search terms, as you can see above with config. You can also use this feature for something like the following command, which still gets you to /usr/local/bin:
z lo b
Be aware that your zoxide search needs to include something of the destination directory. For instance, z var doesn't get you to the /var/log directory, but searches like z log or z var l do.
Interactive Searches with fzf
If you have fzf installed, zoxide can use it to let you select from a list of all directories it matches for a given search term or terms. For instance, the following command matches both /etc/ssh and /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d, and so the interactive zoxide command gives you an option to select between the two directories:
zi ssh
zoxide uses fzf for interactive selection
Take a look at the Set Up fzf Integration section above to learn how to install fzf if you don't have it already.

ModifyStiCoInfectionStatus
The ModifyStiCoInfectionStatus intervention class creates or removes STI co-infections (which influence the rate of HIV transmission). This intervention can be used to represent things like STI treatment programs or STI outbreaks.
Note
Parameters are case-sensitive. For Boolean parameters, set to 1 for true or 0 for false. Minimum, maximum, or default values of "NA" indicate that those values are not applicable for that parameter.
EMOD does not use true defaults; that is, if the dependency relationships indicate that a parameter is required, you must supply a value for it. However, many of the tools used to work with EMOD will use the default values provided below.
JSON format does not permit comments, but you can add "dummy" parameters to add contextual information to your files. Any keys that are not EMOD parameter names will be ignored by the model.
The table below describes all possible parameters with which this class can be configured. The JSON example that follows shows one potential configuration.

interval solution and an optimal $$$k + 2$$$ interval solution. Then make a bipartite graph out of the intervals, where edges are drawn between intervals that intersect. Here is an example for $$$k=7$$$ (the black bars symbolizes the intervals of the two solutions)
The bipartite graph then becomes
Bipartite graph
The reason for picking $$$k$$$ and $$$k + 2$$$ is because I want to create a $$$k + 1$$$ configuration from this that is at least as good as the mean of $$$g(k)$$$ and $$$g(k + 2)$$$. The method I apply is based on analysis of alternating paths in the bipartite graph, in particular what happens if you "flip" a path (meaning you exchange intervals between the two solutions). For example flipping the 3rd path from the left will result in
The 3rd path from the left has been flipped
The following is a proof of the existence of a $$$k + 1$$$ interval solution that contains at least as many $$$1$$$s as the mean of the optimal $$$k$$$ solution and the optimal $$$k + 2$$$ solution.
Formal proof
So conclusion from this is that $$$g(k + 1) \ge \frac{g(k) + g(k + 2)}{2}$$$, i.e. $$$g$$$ is concave.

 Awesome! This kind of proof resembles the proof of convexity for Monge dynamic programming. This also has an additional nice property of being constructive.
 For the proofs using less brain, it seems the problem can be reduced into negative cycle canceling. Construct an edge $$$i \rightarrow i + 1$$$ with cost 0, and $$$j \le i$$$ with cost $$$-sum[i, j)$$$ for $$$i < j \le i + L$$$. Since negative cycle canceling is dual to the augmenting path, it should have the same convex property.
 In the contest, I thought the problem had an MCMF modeling. But after the contest, what I had in mind turned out to be wrong, and this is the best I could get afterwards.

 First in array A {2 1 7 3 4 5 6},we need to remove first 4 element to grab 3 and putting back the removed elements in order of ({1,2,7} or {1,7,2}) and your array A become {1,2,7,4,5,6}; the total opearations you did before was 7{removing 4 elements + putting back 3 elements} and now you just need 1 more operation to remove 1 from A; so total no of operations = 7+1 = 8;

I can't understand what (this choice is independent of choosing x and y) means in D problem, my solution works as follow:
 1. Find the number of possible triples(x,y,z).
 2. Find the number of valid triples(x,y,z).
 3. Calculate the probability like that => prob = valid/possible
But that don't give me the correct answer. Can anyone help me?

I was trying to figure out all possible triplets in Problem D . But I couldn't figure out all 8 possibilities .
Here is what I got ..
for the first case which is ---
2
2 2 1
1 1
(1 , 2 , 1) , (1 , 2 , 2)
(1 , 1 , 1) , (1 , 1 , 2)
(2 , 1 , 1) , (2 , 1 , 2)
Where (x , y , z) is ...
x = kid number .
y = one of the gifts kid x wants
z = the chosen gift y is given to kid z .
Now I am wondering what are 2 other possibilities ?
Can anybody help me ??

 You are right, there are 6 possibilities. But they do not have the same probability.
 After first selection, both x = 1 and x = 2 have probability of 1/2. If he selected x = 2, then we have only 1 selection for y, so selection (x = 2, y = 1) also has probability of 1/2. Finally, each of (2, 1, 1) and (2, 1, 2) would be 1/4.
 In case of x = 1, both y and z have two options, so probability for each of (1, 2, 1), (1, 2, 2), (1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 2) is 1/8.
 Then, since the only incorrect choice is (1, 2, 2), whose probability is 1/8, the answer will be 7/8.

Singlish is a spoken language in Singapore derived from English, Malay, various Chinese dialects and Tamil.
Singlish Translation can refer to both Singlish to English as well as Singlish to Chinese translations.
Singlish is a broad category that encompasses "Singdarin" (Singapore Mandarin). Like Singlish, Singadarin conversations are conversations in Mandarin peppered with the same colourful local phrases found in Singlish, albeit with a higher presence of Chinese dialects like Hokkien and Cantonese.
The common application of Singlish Translation occurs in the subtitling of video interviews, where Singlish speech (made up of various dialects and languages) is translated into English or Chinese. Recorded conversations in Singlish used as evidence in legal proceedings are also first transcribed into a written form before they are submitted to the courts.


Test signature verification
Check if your app is correctly verifying request signatures.
If your app has extensions that require signature verification, you must implement the verification and test that it's working before submitting your app. You can do this via the Developer Portal.
The signature verification test automatically runs after opening the Submit for review page.
Running the test
To test your app's signature verification:
 1. Navigate to an app via the Developer Portal.
 2. Select Verification.
 3. Select Run signature verification test.
You can re-run the test as often as needed.
If an app only has extensions that don't need signature verification, the Run signature verification test button is disabled and running the tests is not required.
Understanding the results
After running the test, a table appears with a list of the endpoints that the app might support. This list is based on the extensions added to the app.
Supported tests
For each endpoint, Canva runs the following tests:
Invalid signature
Canva sends a request to the endpoint with an invalid signature. This happens when someone other than Canva sends requests to your app. The endpoint must reject the request.
Invalid timestamp
Canva sends two requests to the endpoint with invalid timestamps. One of these timestamps is too far in the past, while the other is too far in the future. This happens during a replay attack. The endpoint must reject both requests.
Mixed valid/invalid signatures
Canva sends a request to the endpoint with a comma-separated list of signatures, only one of which is valid. This happens when you regenerates your app's client secret. The endpoint must accept the request.
Status codes
For each test, Canva shows the following status codes:
 - Expected - The status code that Canva expects to receive from the endpoint.
 - Received - The status code that Canva actually received from the endpoint.
When the Expected value matches the Received value, the test passes.
404 status codes
For some tests, the 404 status code is valid. This is because some endpoints are sometimes optional. For example, a publish extension that uses the Basic layout doesn't support the following endpoints:
 - /publish/resources/find
 - /publish/resources/get
But these endpoints still appear in the signature verification test, regardless of how the extension is configured. Other endpoints, such as /editing/image/process/get are always optional, so a 404 status code is always valid.


Creating workflows with UI Component Fields - Platform - BlueCat Gateway - 20.1.1
Gateway Administration Guide
BlueCat Gateway
Create a custom workflow using UI Component Fields. You will modify files in the /workflows/ directory generated when creating a new workflow from the BlueCat Gateway user interface.
 1. Create a workflow. This can be performed manually or by using the Create Workflow administrative workflow.
 2. In , add the needed UI Component fields.
 Note: By default, all UI Component Fields are disabled upon loading a workflow. Fields will become enabled as you progress through the form. After clicking SUBMIT, if you receive an error from the server all fields remain enabled. You can customize this using the is_disabled_on_start and is_disabled_on_error parameters.
 3. Modify the workflow files as needed in the /workflows/ directory:
 - —you need to specify the endpoint that will be called when clicking Submit. By default, when using 'Create Workflow' the Form Submit function name will be in the format __form and called inside HTML using action=url_for ().
 - .js—contains any of the customizations needed in a workflow. For an example refer to the 'Update Alias Record' workflow.
 - Text/en.txt—Reserved for future use with UI Component Fields, otherwise it can be used as custom workflow internationalization.
 - —contains a GenericFormTemplate class where you can specify UI Component Fields and their interactions. Use the PlainHtml Component field if you desire to add static HTML in between components. For example, PlainHTML('').
 4. Set the and permissions for each UI Component Field. If you want to change a default label, set the label and required parameters. Set coerce to force a data type of a field. For example, .
 If necessary, customize the server-side endpoint by providing the server_side_method parameter. Use inputs to map server endpoint form parameters passed to server-side endpoints with client HTML elements. If none are provided all elements in the DOM will be submitted.

Engraving of the Oxford Physic Garden, England, 1675
Physic gardens were a common feature in the 1700s. They were used to grow plants for drug preparations and were arranged according to the properties of the plants they contained. For example, plants with spiky leaves were likely to be grouped together. The Oxford Physic Garden was founded in 1621 by Henry Danvers, the Earl of Danby. He donated £5,000 to set up the garden – the equivalent of £3.5 million today. It is the oldest garden of its kind in the United Kingdom. The garden is now known as the Oxford Botanic Gardens after a name change in 1840. This print is from Oxonia Illustrata by David Logg (1633/5-92), engraver to Oxford University.

Thanks to modern technology Caroline now offers online tuition in Anglo Irish Concertina on a range of platforms – Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook and Zoom to students all over the world. This means that anyone, anywhere in the world can learn Irish traditional music from an expert tutor. Through regular lessons, students can expect to improve concertina technique, and develop maturity and musicality in their playing. Online lessons are highly successful and reap many of the rewards of traditional face to face lessons, right from the comfort of your own home!
In general, students can expect a lesson to include:
- Revision of previous tune – suggestions of revisions (improvements or additional embellishments).
- A new piece of repertoire – taught phrase by phrase through repetition.
- Lesson ends with revision of new piece and Caroline records the tune at various speeds – slow, phrase by phrase and 'normal speed'. The recording also includes relevant indications on fingering. This recording acts as a guide to facilitate independent learning and practice before the next lesson.
Over time, the listening skills developed during lessons will allow learners to pick up tunes with minimal effort by ear (Yes anyone has this ability, you just need to be taught how!). This repetitive technique also improves and stabilises rhythm and builds confidence. Students learn to contextualise the music, gaining an insight into the tunes and traditions from an insiders' prospective – a pivotal feature of a living tradition which is often overlooked.
Students will be encouraged to develop their own individual style and gradually begin to find their place within the wider Irish traditional music community.

Clarence Dutton was a geologist who accompanied Powell in 1875 on surveys of the Rocky Mountains and plateau country of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. He worked in the Grand Canyon in 1882, some thirteen years after Powell visited it. I was misinformed about Powell having named the features of the Grand Canyon named after Brahma, Vishnu and Buddha. Powell named quite a few features of the Grand Canyon, but apparently not the exotic ones that offend today's Christians so much. The Vishnu schist, for example, was named by Charles Walcott in the 1880s and the Brahma schist was named by Campbell and Maxon, as was probably the Rama schist. But those names came later and were probably named after canyons, spires and buttes named by Dutton. It was Dutton who named Buddha Temple and Vishnu Temple. We should make those early geologists patron saints of buddha-l. And the Zionists in our midst will surely admire Dutton's seminal work in what eventually became Zion and Bryce national parks in Utah, although Zion did not acquire its present name until long after Dutton worked there. He would probably have known it by its original name, Mukuntuweap.

Hawk-Eye: Founder looks to introduce technology to club cricket
Technology that allows international cricket umpires to make important decisions could soon filter its way down to the recreational game.
The Hawk-Eye system has been used for more than a decade in cricket for lbw and caught behind decisions and has since been adapted for line calls in tennis and football.
Umpires from the Southern Cricket League had a lesson in how the technology is used as its founder, Paul Hawkins, looks to introduce a new device using a smartphone to detect edges off the bat.
Tony Husband from BBC South Today went along to see how many decisions the umpires got right.

Although a large amount of work has been done on Tree of heaven globally, very little is known of the species in South Africa. The extent of planting, naturalization and invasion is unknown, making the implementation of a suitable management plan a difficult task. Studies have shown that the species exists in all but one of South Africa's seven biomes (the forest biome being the only exception). Records show that the highest levels of invasion are seen in Gauteng, Free State and the Western Cape. The true extent of tree of heaven invasion in South Africa is however unknown.
The species is an incredibly hardy and adaptable plant, capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions like drought and flooding, as well as high levels of atmospheric pollution. Vigorous growth coupled with the plants' ability to produce an allelopathic chemical known as ailanthone may result in drastic alterations to natural habitats. Allelopathic chemicals are effectively herbicides released by some plants which inhibit the growth of (or even kill) neighbouring plants. The release of this chemical can drastically alter your garden landscape turning a beautiful set-up into a rather desolate scene.
No plant, regardless of type, has the ability to withstand the effects of ailanthone. As such, in order to ensure that a beautiful garden landscape is maintained, all Tree of heaven individuals or stands should be removed from your garden immediately. In addition to the natural damage, the tree's ability to grow and thrive in an urban environment makes the species a threat to infrastructure. Capable of growing through cracks in sidewalks as well as through gutters or even cracks in walls, this plant could ultimately weaken the structural stability and integrity of a building. A case has been reported in which the root system of a Tree of heaven, growing on an adjacent property, has spread far enough to crush the boundary wall and crack the lining of the neighbour's swimming pool.

A Win-Win For All: Growth of Save to Win in Michigan
At a time when savings are important, how do we engage consumers in the act of saving and reinstitute a culture of thrift in America? One promising way is to ensure that the act of saving is fun. Prize-linked savings (PLS) models are structured to do exactly that - reward savings behavior to help motivate individuals to save by making it fun. PLS models have been implemented internationally and now applications of PLS are being tested in the United States – by financial institutions, businesses, entrepreneurs, and non-profits – to make saving fun and help more people save.

Reserve replacement ratio
The reserve replacement ratio is the amount of new reserves found compared to the amount of oil produced.
Expanded Definition
Exploration and production companies use this to measure how new discoveries exceed (or fall short of) production. Let's say that for every barrel produced, a company wants to increase reserves by 1.5 (replacing the barrel produced plus another half a barrel). If the ratio falls below 1 : 1, then the company is using up its reserves. Percentages are also used to express this; if the number falls below 100%, then the company is using up its reserves.

The difference between a stepping stone and a stumbling block is how it's used.
Be careful what you listen to, we tend to repeat the words that we hear most often. We also attract people by our words – positive people with positive words, negative people with negative words.
I cannot overemphasize the importance of surrounding yourself with positive people.
Success is a process that takes work and practice. Begin now to eliminate the stumbling block words from your vocabulary and build stepping-stones to your success.
Eliminate the stumbling blocks
- Can't is a four-letter word that stops you cold in your tracks.
- Every time you use this word, put a quarter in the cuss jar.
- Once you tell yourself that you can't do something, your subconscious obeys you and makes it impossible to do.
- Once you decide that you can't do something, you will stop seeking opportunities to grow and learn in this area.
- Can't puts an impenetrable wall between you and success.
It won't work
- Another quarter in the cuss jar when you use this phrase.
- It won't work changes your attitude from seeking success to focusing on failure.
- You will begin to list the reasons why it won't work and find no reasons why it can work.
- This is only part of this sentence. The other part of the sentence is – but I won't.
- This phrase also deserves a quarter in the cuss jar.
- You recognize the problem but you have no intention of changing.
I quit, I stop, no more
- We use this phrase to stop bad habits and behaviors.
- The problem with using this sentiment is that you leave a hole. You have nothing to replace the old behavior with.
- If you want to correct a bad habit, you must replace it with something better or you will soon return to the old behavior.
- All behavioral holes will be filled.
- This is negative goal-setting.
- Your subconscious mind has dignity and does not like to be forced to do things. It will fight back.
Do this, or else
- This is another example of negative-goal setting.
- You are creating a subconscious ultimatum and your subconscious will fight back.
It was nothing
- You subconsciously minimize accomplishments AND maximize failures.
- If you accomplish something, wallow in it.
- Turn up the emotional intensity of your successes.
- Fear is a natural reaction to the unknown.
- To progress in life, we must move out of our comfort zone.
- Focus on happily arriving at your destination.
- The fear will dissipate after you take the first few steps toward your goal.
There's always tomorrow
- Our friend procrastination.
- Your subconscious will always fight to keep you in your comfort zone.
- Procrastination is a trick it uses.
- Fight back by doing something NOW.
- When you have a goal, HOW will become apparent, although not immediately.
- Never ask how you will do it, just move toward your goal, the path will become clear as you begin your journey.
- This stumbling block leads to victimization and depression.
- Everyone has challenges in life and your challenge is not unique.
- Why me is an indication of self-absorption.
- You will never be successful if you believe that you are somehow the center of the universe.
- Challenges are the free weights of life; they build the muscles of our character.
- Instead of asking why me, ask what can I learn from this and how can I help others?
Keep the stepping-stones
The next time I will…
- Use this phrase when you make a mistake.
- Give yourself a new behavior to replace the old one with.
I want to
- Makes tasks desirable to the subconscious rather than forcing yourself to do something.
Wow, I did a great job on that
- Recognizing your accomplishments will build self-esteem.
- Self-esteem is the beginning of success.
- Changes your focus to the positive.
- You will not move enthusiastically toward any goal that is not your idea.
- You cannot thrive if you live someone else's dream for your life.
- Removes procrastination.
I can hardly wait
- Gives you emotional excitement to work on your goals.
How can I use this setback
- Puts control back in your hands.
- Empowers rather than victimizes.
Your old way of speaking was a habit. To change your habit, you must practice your new way of speaking every day.

The MD 355 BRT Study, which built on Montgomery County Maryland's "Get on Board BRT" program, was an alternatives analysis and initial design study for a 22-mile corridor slated for implementation of BRT through. Foursquare ITP was a key team member on this project which encompassed alignment development, station location decisions, design, engineering, environmental review, alternatives evaluation, and public engagement. We led the development of the BRT and local bus feeder service operations planning and cost analysis; led the public and stakeholder engagement; and played an integral role in the strategic evaluation framework and analysis of alternatives.
Foursquare ITP also led the development and implementation of a comprehensive public engagement program for the BRT effort on MD 355. We developed and implemented a comprehensive Public Involvement Plan, including: public open houses, community updates and presentations, community outreach events, focus groups, and meetings with three geographically-based and pre-selected Corridor Advisory Committees. Foursquare ITP led the development and/or provided guidance on all presentation and promotional materials for these meetings and events and developed interactive exercises to gain input from participants. Foursquare ITP staff facilitated the Corridor Advisory Committees, developed the content for key meetings with these groups throughout the life of the project, and served as the point of contact with community members on the project.

Matrix22
#include <Imath/ImathMatrix.h>
The Matrix22 class template represents a 2x2 matrix, with predefined typedefs for float and double.
There are also various utility functions that operate on matrices defined in ImathMatrixAlgo.h and described in Matrix Functions.
Individual components of a matrix M may be referenced as either M[j][i] or M.x[j][i]. While the latter is a little awkward, it has an advantage when used in loops that may be auto-vectorized or explicitly vectorized by #pragma omp simd or other such hints, because the function call and pointer casting of operator[] can confuse the compiler just enough to prevent vectorization of the loop, whereas directly addressing the real underlying array (M.x[j][i]) does not.
Example:
#include <Imath/ImathMatrix.h>
#include <Imath/ImathMatrixAlgo.h>
#include <cassert>
void
matrix22_example ()
{
 Imath::M22f M (Imath::UNINITIALIZED); // uninitialized
 M.makeIdentity ();
 assert (M[0][0] == 1.0f);
 assert (M[0][1] == 0.0f);
 Imath::M22f Minv = M.inverse ();
 Imath::M22f R;
 assert (R == Imath::identity22f);
 R.rotate (M_PI / 4);
 M = R * M;
 Imath::V2f v2 (1.0f, 0.0f);
 Imath::V2f r2 = v2 * M;
