Rising Divorce rate in Korea
Ⅰ. Introduction
Thesis statement: There are several main causes that many married couples get divorced in Korea; a lack of communication, differences in values, and abuses.
Ⅱ. Body
1. Causes
A. Changed women's role
* Increase the women who get a job
- Destruction of patriarchal system
B. Stress in modern living
* Economical problem
* personality
* abuse
C. lack of communication
* individualism
* weak family bond
Ⅲ. Transition paragraph
Also, these three causes of divorce have an influence on divorced people, children, and even in whole society. (Using news articles)
1. Effects
A. Positive effect
* Establish their independence again
* Retrieve better quality of life
* Recovery of personal relations
* Reduce of economical burden
B. negative effect
* Violence, (using statistics), lack of socialization
* Poor educational achievement : low grade and adaptability, dropouts,
* Mental problem: psychological, behavioral problems
* It caused lack of love from parents and families
Ⅳ. Conclusion
To sum up, divorce has become a sort of an epidemic in today's society and poses a big threat to it. Rising divorce rate is a serious problem in Korea in recent days. The cause and effect of divorce can go to such an extent that it might leave a permanent scar on the mind of the children which might last forever, forcing the child to indulge in violent crimes. Researchers have shown that children from divorced families mostly resort to robbery, and drug abuse.
The first cause is that changing women's role in the present society. Differently with former days, now, the women can get a more opportunity to get a job

Abstract: Chile established between 1970 and 1973 a fixed-price policy for many products eliminated at the end of 1973 following a military coup. We use these pricing policies and their subsequent removal to determine how inflation affects relative price variability under contrasting price regimes and a hyperinflationary environment. We do so using unique monthly data for 23 food products between January 1970 and May 1982. We construct different relative price variability measures and consistently find that the sensitivity of relative price variability to inflation is larger when there is price-fixing.

Vintage Rube Goldberg Clip Explains Gas Engineszoom in
In this classic 1940s clip from General Motors, they enlisted the help of master of contraptions Rube Goldberg to help explain how gasoline powers car engines. In the short film, titled Something for Nothing, Goldberg first shows us how his overly complicated door opener functions, then some other silly inventions before he gets down to business. Then, he discusses the idea of perpetual motion machines.
Ultimately, he's interrupted by an announcer who explains how fuel is a necessity for powering engines, and mentioning along the way such dated concepts as fossil fuels being "virtually unlimited." The demonstration of how exploding gasoline causes an engine's pistons to work is pretty entertaining though.
Also, that self-tipping hat should be on Kickstarter.

How to Pluck a Chicken
Howard Shooter/Dorling Kindersley RF/Getty Images
Raising chickens yourself in the back yard, or buying them direct and intact from the farmer, is one way to guarantee you're getting an immaculately fresh bird. Unfortunately, it also means you'll need to pluck and clean the chicken before you cook it. This isn't especially difficult but it is a messy process, best performed outdoors. If you're doing several birds at once an outdoor cooker is helpful, but a pot of hot water from your stove is sufficient for one or two.
Select a pot large enough to hold a chicken and a gallon or two of water, as well. Heat the water on the stovetop, or on an outdoor cooker, until it reaches a temperature of 125 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Bring the pot outdoors, if you've heated it on the stovetop.
Pull on a pair of thick rubber gloves. Lift the chicken by its feet, and immerse it in the hot water.
Hold the chicken underneath the surface of the hot water with a stick, or a long wooden spoon. Swirl it a few times around the pot, to make sure the hot water penetrates the feathers and reaches the bird's entire skin.
Remove the chicken from the water after 30 to 60 seconds, and lay it on a clean tarpaulin or plastic bag. Pull away feathers by the handful, starting at the wings where they're harder to pluck and will come away more easily when warm. Hold the bird so its feathers are pointing in your direction and then pluck away from your body, so you're pulling the feathers at a sharp angle to their natural direction.
Continue until you've removed all the feathers. You might opt to simply cut away the bird's wingtips with shears or a sharp knife, rather than trying to pluck them. Some birds will have a number of small, quill-like pinfeathers. Remove these with a pair of pliers, or scorch them off with a torch.

1.2 Statement Of The Problem
The problem facing government parastatals are of difference factors. The major of which is the lack of adequate financing. Due to inadequate fund, government parastatal tends to operate at a low capacity or inefficiency thus making services being rendered to the general public poor.
Enugu State Transport Company for instance has been having problem of financing: is it because government does not finance them the way they should? Does the poor financing effect their earning for transportation and other source of revenue? Is it because of poor state of economy that government earning from both domestic and foreign sources were affected, and government subvention to corporation were fell drastically?
1.3 Objective Of The Study
The purpose of this study is to know the financing problem of Government Corporation, which actually have hindered their efficiency and profitability and ways it can be solved. The objectives are
1. To highlight the importance of adequate funding of Enugu State Transport Company to the improvement of services offered to its customers
2. To determine the extent to which the high interest rates charged by commercial bank affect the loan seeking habit of Enugu State Transport Company.
3. To ascertain the affect of inability of Enugu State Transport Company to provide adequate security on the obtaining of finance.
4. To ascertain the effect of inadequate funding of Enugu State Transport Company on its activities and performance.

 They are the same cells with the same efficiency but provided in different formats. C3010H is packaged with 20 single-use transformation tubes, each containing 50 μl of competent cells. Plasmid or ligation product can be added directly into the transformation tubes for convenience. C3010I is packaged with 6 tubes, each containing 200 μl of competent cells. The tubes should be thawed on ice and 50 μl of cells transferred into new tubes prior to transformation. Each tube contains enough cells for 4 transformations with the benefit of reducing the cost of each transformation. If you perform 3 or 4 transformations at a time, using C3010I is cost effective. Refreezing the competent cells after thawing is not recommended since it will significantly reduce transformation efficiencies.

AUDI A4
The Audi A4 is a compact executive car produced by the German car manufacturer Audi AG since late 1994. The initial generation A4 succeeded the four previous generations of the Audi 80. And just like its Audi 80 predecessor, the Audi A4 automobile layout consists of a longitudinally oriented engine at the front, with transaxle-type transmissions mounted immediately to the rear of the engine, again, oriented longitudinally. Drive output is transmitted to either the front wheels, or on some models, utilising Audi's 'trademark' quattro permanent four-wheel drive system via a Torsen centre differential.
Since its inception, the Audi A4 has been available in four generations, based on the Volkswagen Group 'B' series of automobile platforms. Audi's internal numbering convention therefore treats the A4 as a logical continuation of the Audi 80 lineage, hence the initial A4 was designated as the B5-series, followed by the subsequent B6 and B7, and the current B8.
Of the main body styles, it is (and always has been) available as a saloon/sedan variant, and an "Avant", which is Audi's name for an estate/wagon. The second (B6) and third generations (B7) of the A4 also had a Cabriolet version, but the Cabriolet was not retained for the current fourth generation (B8), Audi now having Cabriolet versions of the related Audi A5 and S5 coupés — and also the smaller Audi A3.
Additionally, higher performance versions directly related to the A4 include the Audi S4, and the limited availability quattro GmbH-developed very high performance Audi RS4.

Computer scientists including a team from Microsoft Research have developed a system of wearable devices that detect signs of impending emotional eating. Over four days, a test group used a phone app to log information about their mood and meals, while sensor pads in their clothing measured their breathing, sweating, and heart rate. This data enabled the researchers to predict physiological and emotional states that precede individual patterns of stress-related eating. The team is now testing bracelets to monitor users and provide interventions—possibly breathing exercises, brain teasers, or suggestions to take a walk or call a friend.

No matter where you live, there is sure to be creative inspiration for your own mosaic creations. It's a fun (and cheap!) activity to do with your kids and offers lots of wiggle room for creativity and experimentation. And what an assortment of materials you can use for a mosaic! Here are just a few ideas to get you going...
-Mosaic items, ideas include:
- Craft glue
- Cardboard (use scraps from mailing boxes, cereal boxes, shoe boxes, etc.)
Draw an outline of an object on the cardboard with a pencil (start simple - first try doing a large heart, star, or rainbow). Use craft glue to adhere the various objects to the image, using different colors of mosaic items to fill in the image and the background. Experiment with different textures and colors of objects to create interesting art! Once you get the hang of it, try using smaller pieces to do more detailed images.

High-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry of gold and alloy clusters protected by hydrophilic thiolates†
In this work, we found two hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) columns for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) suitable for the high-resolution separation of hydrophilic metal clusters. The mass distributions of the product mixtures of hydrophilic metal clusters were evaluated via HPLC mass spectrometry (LC/MS) using these HILIC columns. Consequently, we observed multiple clusters that had not been previously reported for glutathionate (SG)-protected gold clusters (Aun(SG)m). Additionally, we demonstrated that Aun−xMx(SG)m alloy clusters (M = Ag, Cu, or Pd) in which part of the Au in the Aun(SG)m cluster is replaced by a heteroelement can be synthesized, similar to the case of hydrophobic alloy clusters. It is easy to evaluate the mass distributions of hydrophilic metal clusters using this method. Thus, remarkable progress in the synthesis techniques of hydrophilic metal clusters through the use of this method is anticipated, as is the situation for hydrophobic metal clusters.


text: OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to analyze the factors that affected the decision making process in approving workers' compensation claims for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases cases that occurred just before refoming approval standards of Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act on 1 July 2008 and to provide fundamental information in preparing better standards. METHODS: We examined 283 claims cases involving cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases that occurred between 1 January, 2006 and 31 December, 2007 and collected data based on the worker's compensation records from 3 Seoul Regional Centers of the Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service. We analyzed the approval rates and odds ratios according to the general characteristics, injury information, past medical histories, and work related information using chi-square or univariate logistic regression. In addition, we identified the factors affecting the approval using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: Overall, 101 of the 283 cases were approved and approval rate was 35.7%. Approval rates differed significantly according to type of disease, survival, accident site, accident time, the presence of associated disease and overwork (p-value <0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjusted for age and sex, approval rate of death cases with associated disease was lower than cases without associated disease (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.12~0.42). Approval rate of cases occurred in worksite was higher than others (OR 4.81, 95% CI 2.22~10.40). Cases of accepted overwork had a higher approval rate significantly than cases of not accepted (OR 28.53, 95% CI 9.74~83.52). CONCLUSION: Factors in approving cases of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease as cases involving occupational disease included conditions of overwork, high rate of accidents in the workplace and the presence of associated disease. It is necessary to investigate further behaviors of work and chronic work-related stress.


consume more CPU resources. Consider reducing the number of cameras or using sub-streams for lower CPU usage.
- Optimize motion detection settings: Fine-tuning the sensitivity and areas of motion detection can help reduce false alerts and lower CPU usage.
3. What are the recommended hardware requirements for Blue Iris?
The recommended hardware requirements for Blue Iris depend on several factors, including the number of cameras, video quality, and desired performance. However, the following are general recommendations:
- Quad-core processor: A powerful processor with multiple cores can handle the video processing and encoding tasks efficiently.

- Fast storage: SSD storage can enhance the read and write speeds, reducing the load on the CPU.
4. Can I run Blue Iris on a low-end system?
While it is possible to run Blue Iris on a low-end system, the performance may be compromised. Low-end systems may struggle to handle the processing requirements of multiple cameras and high-quality video feeds, resulting in increased CPU usage and potential performance issues.
If you plan to run Blue Iris on a low-end system, consider reducing the number of cameras or lowering the video resolution to alleviate the CPU load. However, for optimal performance and smooth operation, it is recommended to use a system that meets the recommended hardware requirements.
5. Can I optimize Blue Iris for better CPU performance?
Yes, there are several ways to optimize Blue Iris for better CPU performance:
- Update to the latest version: Blue Iris releases updates that often include optimizations and performance improvements.
- Enable hardware acceleration: Utilize hardware acceleration features if your system supports it. This offloads some of the video processing tasks from the CPU to dedicated hardware, reducing CPU usage.
- Fine-tune alert triggers: Adjust the alert-triggering settings to minimize false alerts, reducing unnecessary CPU usage.
- Regularly maintain and check your system: Ensure that your Blue Iris system is properly updated, hardware components are functioning correctly, and there are no conflicting processes or software that may impact CPU usage.
In conclusion, the Blue Iris CPU usage factor is a crucial aspect to consider when using the Blue Iris video surveillance software. It determines the efficiency and performance of the system, ensuring smooth operation and real-time processing of video feeds.
By measuring and optimizing the CPU usage, users can maximize the potential of Blue Iris and minimize system slowdowns or crashes. It is essential to monitor CPU usage regularly and take necessary steps such as upgrading hardware or adjusting settings to ensure the smooth functioning of the software.

Committed to Student Success
Peel board trustees advocate for their communities
Public school trustees are the critical link between communities and school boards. They are elected by taxpayers during municipal elections every four years and are directly accountable to the community. The current 12 trustees have been elected to serve from Dec. 1, 2010, to Nov. 30, 2014.
Working together, trustees:
· govern and establish policies
· set budgets and govern the provision of curriculum, facilities, human and financial resources
· advocate for the needs of their communities, and explain the policies and decisions of the board to residents
· work with all levels of government to help ensure student success
Trustees are available to help taxpayers, parents and others address any issues they may have about the public school system.
Trustees meet as a board on a regular basis and also participate on organized standing committees. The meeting schedule lists public meetings.
Student trustees serve an important role for the Peel District School Board. They represent the voice of students in decisions about education in Peel, and they help keep students informed about important decisions that affect them. The Peel board has two student trustees—one representing schools north of Highway 401 and one representing schools south of Highway 401.

Groundwater seen as water supply option
The Western Downs Regional Council says groundwater could hold the key to securing Chinchilla's water supply.
The council has commissioned a study of Chinchilla and Bell's water supply to find a sustainable source.
Public meetings have been held in both towns to discuss the issue.
The council presented a number of options, including buying additional licences and using recycled water and shallow groundwater bores.
CEO Phil Berting says using groundwater and improving efficiencies are the council's preferred options.
"Demand management is probably a key to our future water supplies, not only here but probably throughout the whole of Australia - if we go through drought times like we did in the late '90s and 2000s I guess we'd really be looking at better use or better water efficiency," he said.
Mr Berting says another option, using water extracted from the coal seam gas process, was also discussed.
"But we don't see that as a long-term fix for our future water sustainability," he said.
"The coal seam gas industry will have a finite life and [it's] anticipated that that life will come to an end and the water extraction will cease."

In economics, a positional good is a product or service whose value is at least in part (if not exclusively) a function of its ranking in desirability by others, in comparison to substitutes. The extent to which a good's value depends on such a ranking is referred to as its positionality.
The term was coined by Fred Hirsch in 1976. The broad theme of Hirsch's book, in which he developed his theory of positional goods, was, he told the New York Times, that material growth can "no longer deliver what has long been promised for it - to make everyone middle-class". This important concept explains why, as economic growth improves overall quality of life at any particular level, doing "better" than how your grandparents lived does not translate automatically into doing "well", if there are as many or more people ahead of you in the economic hierarchy. For example, if you are the first in your family to get a college degree, you are doing better. But if you were at the bottom of your class at a weak school, you may find yourself less eligible for a job than your grandfather, who was only a high school graduate. "The value to me of my education - the satisfaction I derive from it - depends upon how much education the man ahead of me in the job line has."
Hirsch's contribution is becoming more notable as the Great Recession multiplies the number of college educated but poorly employed graduates, and probably explains why he would be referenced in a television situation-comedy: "There's an economic concept known as a positional good in which an object is only valued by the possessor because it's not possessed by others. The term was coined in 1976 by economist Fred Hirsch to replace the more colloquial, but less precise neener-neener."
Positional goods often earn economic rents or quasi-rents. Examples of positional goods include high social status, exclusive real estate, a spot in the freshman class of a prestigious university, a reservation at the "hottest" new restaurant, and fame. The measure of satisfaction derived from a positional good depends on how much one has in relation to everyone else.
Competitions for positional goods are zero-sum games because such goods are inherently scarce, at least in the short run. Attempts to acquire them can only benefit one player at the expense of others. By definition, every person cannot be the most educated, the most skilled, or elite, in the same way that every person cannot be a star athlete: all of those terms imply a separation or superiority over other people.
Land (in the economic sense) is similar to positional goods in that it cannot be created, and land rent arises largely because of a parcel's ranking in desirability against other plots. However, land is valued at least in part for its absolute contribution to productivity, which does not derive from its relative ranking. Thus, some economists (such as Hirsch) include 'land' in positional goods, while others (such as Robert H. Frank) only include goods which are valued specifically because of their relative quality.
In general, positional goods cannot be created, only redistributed, while material goods can be created with time and effort. However, most goods have both a positional and a material component. Fast cars may be considered to be inherently scarce because one's perception of a car's speed depends on its relation to other vehicles, but there is still an absolute value attached to satisfaction gained from the speed at which a car can travel; it can be considered as having a positional aspect in that only some cars can be the fastest. Because a car is a complex product made of many other materials, some of which (such as steel) are limited in supply and some which (such as leather) are renewable, they may instead be considered Veblen goods.
Positional externalities
Some economists, such as Robert Frank, argue that positional goods create externalities, or a so-called "arms race" for goods that might boost one's social status relative to others. This phenomenon is clearly wasteful; thus, it is argued, government can improve social welfare by imposing high luxury tax on certain luxury goods to correct for this externality and mitigate the social waste.
However, in some cases it may be less clear that such government intervention is warranted in response to these externalities. For example, government spending may be administered by players are equally motivated by positional goals. Furthermore, in certain cases, such government actions can potentially impede improvements in living standards and innovation. Technological advance itself is possible in part because wealthy individuals are willing to purchase new and untested goods. There is a certain experimentation and risk that accompany luxury goods, and if they are found to be useful they may eventually be mass produced and made affordable to the common person: one era's luxuries are another's commonplace goods. In short, the negative positional externality is often compensated by the public goods of infant industry effects and research and development. Ultimately, any such positive effects of these goods would need to weighed against the negative positional effects to determine the magnitude of any consumption taxes placed on them.

What Was the Main Religion in Colonial Pennsylvania?
In general, no primary religious group dominated in colonial Pennsylvania. Religious sects that had a strong presence in this area included Quakers and Lutherans.
Pennsylvania was officially founded in 1682 by William Penn. It represented one of the 13 original American colonies. The colony's founder considered himself a Quaker; freedom of worship for Quakers was a prominent reason for the colony's founding. Penn also strongly believed in religious tolerance for all individuals. He was one of the main voices against the oppressive Church of England. Under Penn's leadership, Pennsylvania developed into a colony that promoted and granted religious freedom. As a result, worshipers from nearly every major religious group of the time could be found in the region.

The Catskill Mountain House
was a famous hotel near Palenville, New York
in the Catskill Mountains
overlooking the Hudson River Valley
, built in 1824. In its prime, from the 1850s to the turn of the century, it was visited by three U.S. presidents (U.S. Grant
, Chester A. Arthur
and Theodore Roosevelt
) and the power elite of the day.
The Mountain House's site, the "Pine Orchard," had long been famous for its panoramic views up and down the Hudson Valley and even beyond to the east. John Bartram
and James Fenimore Cooper
had both written about it in different contexts.
Artists and writers had discovered the Catskills some time earlier. Shortly after it was constructed, the Mountain House and its surroundings became a favorite subject for Washington Irving
and artists of the new Hudson River School
, most notably Thomas Cole
. Cooper advised his European audience, "If you want to see the sights of America, go to see Niagara Falls
, Lake George
and the Catskill Mountain House."
The hotel was built in 1823 and opened a year later by a group of merchants from nearby Catskill
on a plateau with sweeping views of the Hudson Valley on one side and two lakes on the other side that provided water and recreation.
In 1839, Charles Beach
, whose father ran a stage coach
line from the town of Catskill to the Mountain House, leased the hotel from the owners for six years and then bought it outright. Beach rebuilt the Mountain... Read More

Born in the verdant landscapes of Dehradun, India, in 1952, Vandana Shiva was raised in a family that valued and respected nature. Her father, a conservator of forests, and her mother, a farmer with a love for nature, instilled in her a deep appreciation for the environment from a young age. This early exposure to the wonders of nature played a significant role in shaping her future career as an environmental activist and proponent of organic farming.
Shiva's academic journey was as impressive as it was diverse. She pursued her bachelor's degree in Physics at Panjab University, followed by a master's degree in the Philosophy of Science at the University of Guelph in Canada. Her thirst for knowledge didn't stop there. She went on to earn a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Western Ontario, where her dissertation focused on quantum theory. This solid academic foundation provided her with the necessary tools to critically analyze and challenge the prevailing paradigms of science, technology, and environmental policy.
Vandana Shiva's Journey into Environmental Activism
Dr. Vandana Shiva, a renowned scholar and environmental activist, embarked on her journey into environmental activism in the early 1980s. Her passion for the environment was ignited by the Chipko movement, a grassroots initiative in India aimed at protecting forests from being felled. This movement, which involved local women hugging trees to prevent them from being cut down, was a turning point in Shiva's life. It inspired her to dedicate her life to the cause of environmental conservation and sustainable agriculture.
Shiva's work in environmental activism is characterized by her strong advocacy for organic farming and biodiversity. She founded the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Natural Resource Policy in 1982, an organization dedicated to developing sustainable methods of agriculture. Her work has been instrumental in promoting organic farming practices in India and abroad. Some of her notable achievements include:
- Establishing Navdanya, a network of seed keepers and organic producers spread across 22 states in India.
- Initiating the Bija Satyagraha movement, which opposes patenting of seeds.
- Winning the Right Livelihood Award, often referred to as the 'Alternative Nobel Prize', in 1993 for her work in placing women and ecology at the heart of modern development discourse.
Despite facing numerous challenges and criticisms, Shiva has remained steadfast in her commitment to environmental activism. Her work has had a significant impact on the global discourse on sustainable agriculture and biodiversity.

Help: merge-tools
Merge Tools
To merge files Mercurial uses merge tools.
A merge tool combines two different versions of a file into a merged file. Merge tools are given the two files and the greatest common ancestor of the two file versions, so they can determine the changes made on both branches.
Merge tools are used both for 'hg resolve', 'hg merge', 'hg update', 'hg backout' and in several extensions.
Usually, the merge tool tries to automatically reconcile the files by combining all non-overlapping changes that occurred separately in the two different evolutions of the same initial base file. Furthermore, some interactive merge programs make it easier to manually resolve conflicting merges, either in a graphical way, or by inserting some conflict markers. Mercurial does not include any interactive merge programs but relies on external tools for that.
Available merge tools
External merge tools and their properties are configured in the merge-tools configuration section - see hgrc(5) - but they can often just be named by their executable.
A merge tool is generally usable if its executable can be found on the system and if it can handle the merge. The executable is found if it is an absolute or relative executable path or the name of an application in the executable search path. The tool is assumed to be able to handle the merge if it can handle symlinks if the file is a symlink, if it can handle binary files if the file is binary, and if a GUI is available if the tool requires a GUI.
There are some internal merge tools which can be used. The internal merge tools are:
":dump"
Creates three versions of the files to merge, containing the contents of local, other and base. These files can then be used to perform a merge manually. If the file to be merged is named "a.txt", these files will accordingly be named "a.txt.local", "a.txt.other" and "a.txt.base" and they will be placed in the same directory as "a.txt".
This implies permerge. Therefore, files aren't dumped, if premerge runs successfully. Use :forcedump to forcibly write files out.
":fail"
Rather than attempting to merge files that were modified on both branches, it marks them as unresolved. The resolve command must be used to resolve these conflicts.
":forcedump"
Creates three versions of the files as same as :dump, but omits premerge.
":local"
Uses the local 'p1()' version of files as the merged version.
":merge"
Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the partially merged file. Markers will have two sections, one for each side of merge.
":merge-local"
Like :merge, but resolve all conflicts non-interactively in favor of the local 'p1()' changes.
":merge-other"
Like :merge, but resolve all conflicts non-interactively in favor of the other 'p2()' changes.
":merge3"
Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the partially merged file. Marker will have three sections, one from each side of the merge and one for the base content.
":other"
Uses the other 'p2()' version of files as the merged version.
":prompt"
Asks the user which of the local 'p1()' or the other 'p2()' version to keep as the merged version.
":tagmerge"
Uses the internal tag merge algorithm (experimental).
":union"
Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging files. It will use both left and right sides for conflict regions. No markers are inserted.
Internal tools are always available and do not require a GUI but will by default not handle symlinks or binary files.
Choosing a merge tool
Mercurial uses these rules when deciding which merge tool to use:
 1. If a tool has been specified with the --tool option to merge or resolve, it is used. If it is the name of a tool in the merge-tools configuration, its configuration is used. Otherwise the specified tool must be executable by the shell.
 2. If the "HGMERGE" environment variable is present, its value is used and must be executable by the shell.
 3. If the filename of the file to be merged matches any of the patterns in the merge-patterns configuration section, the first usable merge tool corresponding to a matching pattern is used. Here, binary capabilities of the merge tool are not considered.
 4. If ui.merge is set it will be considered next. If the value is not the name of a configured tool, the specified value is used and must be executable by the shell. Otherwise the named tool is used if it is usable.
 5. If any usable merge tools are present in the merge-tools configuration section, the one with the highest priority is used.
 6. If a program named "hgmerge" can be found on the system, it is used - but it will by default not be used for symlinks and binary files.
 7. If the file to be merged is not binary and is not a symlink, then internal ":merge" is used.
 8. Otherwise, ":prompt" is used.
Note:
After selecting a merge program, Mercurial will by default attempt to merge the files using a simple merge algorithm first. Only if it doesn't succeed because of conflicting changes Mercurial will actually execute the merge program. Whether to use the simple merge algorithm first can be controlled by the premerge setting of the merge tool. Premerge is enabled by default unless the file is binary or a symlink.
See the merge-tools and ui sections of hgrc(5) for details on the configuration of merge tools.


DSL workflow design
HI Team,
I'm looking for your suggestion on DSL workflow design. My challenge is how to pass data into a workflow. Considering there two cases,
 1. Manual activity which will wait for a user input.
 It's not ideal to poll from activity.
 2. aws sqs message listener activity which will listen on a queue, filter message if condition matched then continue to next activity.
 Creating a listener in every running workflow to poll message will not work. It makes more sense to have a centralized listener to filter and dispatch message to corresponding workflow instance. Then this activity will basically just wait for a message trigger and consume the message
Since DSL is dynamic and signal is only on workflow level not inside activity, it's difficult to define signal logic in workflow and send the signal. Can you please advise, thanks in advance.
Thanks
Gaoxin
Signal is the way to go in this case. No need to use an activity or queue. Just signal a workflow when user completes the action.
Since DSL is dynamic and signal is only on workflow level not inside activity, it's difficult to define signal logic in workflow and send the signal. Can you please advise, thanks in advance.
I don't understand your concern. You can always include some correlation id into the signal data and lookup a specific node in your DSL using it.
Thank you Maxim for your quick response. The DSL is generated flowchart by frontend drag & drop UI.Each activity is a draggable node in the UI. So currently manual step or others steps which need input data have to be activities for user to construct workflow and then send to temporal to execute. Also, as far as I understand, every workflow have different ID. I will need to filter all running workflow, find out the dsl and check if next activity needs signal and then send signal. Is there a better way to do this. Thank you very much.
Each activity is a draggable node in the UI. So currently manual step or other steps which need input data have to be activities for the user to construct workflow and then send to temporal to execute.
There is no need to map UI abstractions to Temporal abstractions directly. A single UI element can be implemented with any amount of code in Temporal. For example, a DSL step like "deploy my service to production" can be implemented with a pretty complex child workflow that talks to dozens of services.
I'm pretty sure that your users do not think in terms of Temporal activities. They think about business-level actions that should be performed.
So a manual step which is a single DSL workflow element can be mapped to an activity that initiates this step and a signal handling logic that completes the step. For implementation simplicity, you can always create higher-level coding abstractions (like OO classes) to encapsulate complex behaviors.

Why currently UI element is mapped to activities is when user execute a workflow, they can see state, input/output of each element. It's straightforward to call GetWorkflowHistory to get activity detailed information and display real time data on UI.
And in our user cases, we provide fundamental functionalities as activities mapped to UI element node, different team can drag & drop element to create their own workflow based on their business requirement.
But you are right, there is no need to map UI abstractions to Temporal abstractions directly.Backend can handle the logic for two way bindings, how to execute and feed data back to the frontend.
Will serverless workflow DSL be supported by temporalio in future (not just the dsl sample). This will allow to write the DSL in yaml/json.
Long-term plan is to make it easier to support any type of DSL on top of Temporal. As far as serverless workflow DSL, definitely planning to provide support for the entire DSL in the future. There is already some ongoing work in the serverless workflow community to provide full DSL support for Temporal. Idea is to then contribute it to the Temporal community, so stay tuned.
@tihomir W.r.t DSL support, you mean that the interpretor logic required for serverless workflow execution to run with Temporal will be part of future support?
Yes, current plan is to provide support for serverless workflow dsl exec on Temporal (Java SDK). There is a number of contributors currently, and work is ongoing. Plan is to provide an open-source library people can use to for that integration.
Hi, is there some progress? Is here a plan to support GO SDK too?
Thank you.
Some progress for Java SDK integration which will be made public hopefully very soon (same timeframe alongside next spec release, will update here). I don't know about integration with Temporal Go SDK currently. Would help to understand the amount of interest for it first.
Hi @tihomir,
Continuing with this thread.
I'm looking at serverless workflow with Go. I'm creating a prototype but am running into an issue. If the activity that workflow is executing is defined in Serverless, we do not know what the return type of the activity is in our workflow code.
e.g.
//Get the function from serverless workflow model
 function := wfdef.GetFunction(action.FunctionRef.RefName)
 ao := workflow.ActivityOptions{
 StartToCloseTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
 TaskQueue: "test",
 }
 ctx = workflow.WithActivityOptions(ctx, ao)
 //get activity name
 activityName := function.Operation
 var result any
 //execute activity
 err := workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, activityName, stateInputData.Data).Get(ctx, &result)
If I run the above code - I get an error:
payload item 0: value type: interface {}: must be a concrete type, not interface
I understand why I get this message in Go as it's expecting a type, but if my workflow is based on serverless, we don't know in advance what the type is. How do you approach this from a serverless perspective?
Thanks,
Jay.
we do not know what the return type of the activity is in our workflow code
When using most DSLs you are bound to JSON data, as you define the manipulation of this data inside your DSL via expression languages rather than code.
Servless Workflow specification says that workflow data is a valid JSON object and that is defined to be the result of both your activities / child workflows as they are added to the JSON workflow data (based on filter rules if defined).
You can definitely define a struct that would hold your workflow data like what we did in the Java dsl sample here.
You could also define default activity result type for all your activities that just holds the JSON result that you would then merge with your workflow data.
Hope this helps.
Hi @tihomir , any update on support for serverless workflow integration with temporal(Java SDK)?
No specific update other than looking for community help on this. If you are interested please let me know so can start sharing what we have so far.
Yes, would be happy to help !!
Even I also want to help here.
Hi @tihomir , any update or timeline we shall look forward to? Please let me know if there is help needed.

End of a Journey
Without wanting to sound too deep and profound, your time at school is like a journey, and one which you are likely to be nearing the end of. Because of this, we find that the 'journey' theme works really well. They help the yearbook tell a story.
Here are some tips to put this look together
The First Page
If you are going for this theme, you are going to want to make the concept really clear from the very first page:
- A Road. As Boyz II Men once sung 'we have come to the end of the road', featuring a picture of a road, possibly the road leading to your school, on the first page makes it clear that you are going for a journey theme.
- Travel Itinerary: You could use a travel itinerary in two ways, firstly as a 'contents page', or alternatively as an itinerary for the future, with 'go to uni' and 'get a job' on the list.
- Passport to the Future: There are very, very, few places in which the image of a passport wouldn't immediately make people think of journeys. If you have some design experience you could edit an image of a passport to say something like 'Passport to a life after school'. You could be really clever and make the front page look like a passport and the first page could become the inside page of a passport, detailing the 'rules' and purpose of the passport yearbook.
Other design ideas
There are loads of things that you could use to symbolise a journey, here are a few that we think work really well:
- Maps, use maps as backgrounds, or as part of a collage with other photographs. Maps of your school surroundings, or places you visited on a trip would be a really great idea. Use pins and string graphics to show the different places you've visited.
- Stamps, postal or travel stamps make great elements in a journey themed yearbook. They can be used as a feature or just to fill up some unwanted empty space.
- Photos, use plenty of photos from school trips in your journey themed yearbook. It looks awesome when you make them look like Polaroid photos with a note underneath with the date and really brief description.
- Travel Tags, you know the things, the tags you put on your luggage when you go abroad. They don't have to be a central part of the design but can be useful for annotating or labelling pictures.
- Postcard, using postcards for your student and teacher pages can be a really effective way of including a photo and a comment. It also provides a clear guideline for how long the comments can be.
- Plane Tickets, Using plane tickets in your design looks great, they can be used to convey all sorts of information or simply as a decorative graphic.
Bonus Yearbook Idea:
You know when you walk into arrivals at an airport, there are always a group of people with signs that have someone's name on them.
You could include pages with pictures of your year group from year seven in 'arrivals'. Your tutors could be holding signs with your tutor group on them. Sign's are a great design idea that you could easily feature in this theme.


resource, and an asset for commerce and recreation. These coastal bays also are vulnerable to eutrophication from the input of excess nutrients derived from agriculture and other human activities in the watersheds. Ground water discharge may be an appreciable source of fresh water and a transport pathway for nutrients entering the bays. This paper presents results from an investigation of the physical properties of the surficial aquifer and the processes associated with ground water flow beneath Indian River Bay, Delaware. A key aspect of the project was the deployment of a new technology, streaming horizontal resistivity, to map the subsurface distribution of fresh and saline ground water beneath the bay. The resistivity profiles showed complex patterns of ground water flow, modes of mixing, and submarine ground water discharge. Cores, gamma and electromagnetic-induction logs, and in situ ground water samples collected during a coring operation in Indian

The momentum distribution of positronium (Ps) in BaF2 single crystal has been investigated in a temperature range from 10 to 297K. The existence of the delocalized and localized Ps has been confirmed. The momentum distribution of the delocalized Ps, a central peak at zero momentum and satellite peaks at the momenta corresponding to the reciprocal lattice vectors, has a large width even at 10K. The width is almost independent of temperature. The behavior is different from that of the delocalized Ps in other ionic crystals. This indicates that the delocalized Ps in BaF2 is strongly coupled to the phonon field.

What are the main objectives of businesses why might businesses depart from the standard textbook aim of profit maximisation this study note helps you to answer these questions conventional theory of the firm makes an assumption that businesses have enough information, market power and motivation.
Profit maximisation profit maximisation is the process by which a firm determines the price and output level that returns the greatest profit there are several approaches to this problem there are several approaches to this problem.
This article provides information about "is profit maximisation a sole objective of business": in order to fully understand the objectives of business, it is important to discuss one more aspect, namely, the profit objective of business. Every business aims to earn a profit, but companies exist for other reasons as well, such as providing meaningful livelihoods and working toward social and economic well-being profit maximization strategies place clear, focused attention on the process of earning as much as possible.
The following points highlight the seven main objectives of a business firm the objectives are: 1 profit maximisation 2 multiple objectives 3 marris growth maximisation 4 baumol's sales maximisation 5 output maximisation 6 security profits 7 satisfaction maximisation business firm: objective # 1 profit maximisation: in the conventional theory of the firm, the principal objective of a business firm is profit maximisation. Profit maximization offers the advantage of increased earnings, but it also increases your risk of losing money skip to main content 10 most important business objectives. The main objectives of firms are: profit maximisation sales maximisation increased market share/market dominance social/environmental concerns profit satisficing co-operatives/ sometimes there is an overlap of objectives.
Main objectives profit maximisation sales maximisation revenue maximisation questions profit maximisation or sales turnover, maximisation is associated with 'managerial' theories of business motives, which stress the importance of management decision making in large organisations. Major objectives that a firm wants to achieve apart from earning profit are as follows: an objective is something that the firm wants to achieve over a specific period of time it is presumed that business has the only objective of earning profit but today one cannot deny the fact that along with.
Profit maximisation theory: assumptions and criticisms in the neoclassical theory of the firm, the main objective of a business firm is profit maximisation the firm maximises its profits when it satisfies the two rules. Traditional theory assumes profit maximisation as the sole objective of a business firm in practice firms have been found to be pursuing objective other than profit maximisation large firms pursue such goals as sales maximisation, revenue maximisation, a target profit, retaining market share, building up the net worth of the firm, etc. Thus the firm's objective is the maximization of the expected present value of free cash flow this expression does not quite have the same emotional impact of profit maximization even though it means essentially the same thing.

Milton Bryan Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Bedfordshire
'The Chapel on the Pond'
Unique in Bedfordshire, the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Milton Bryan was known as 'the Chapel on the pond'. The authors of 'The Dunstable Methodist Circuit one hundred and fifty years of witness' describe how this was 'where the ducks slid under the building and quacked their way through the prayers, the lessons and the address and accompanied the hymns'. But they also paint a vivid picture of chapel life that was not just about meeting in a wooden building on a duck pond, but, 'a place of holiness'.
A house in the occupation of William Ward was registered for worship by Thomas Flower of Dunstable on 4/5 March 1846. Flower was Second minister in the Dunstable Wesleyan Methodist Circuit.
Opposition led to the chapel being built on 'manorial waste' by the village pond in 1861, permission being given by Lady Inglis, Lady of the Manor at a rent of 2s 6d per year. The Returns of accommodation In Wesleyan Methodist Chapels recorded that in 1873, Milton chapel had 75 sittings.
The Chapel's membership was not large and at the time of its 1961 centenary had reduced to four. The Chapel on the Pond was closed in and pulled down in the winter of 1980-81.

Click here to download the full lesson with attached handouts. Green Book Travels
The Negro Travelers' Green Book, known simply as the Green Book was a travel guide that listed lodgings, tailors, beauty parlors, restaurants, gas station and other businesses that welcomed African American clients during the Jim Crow era.
Author, Victor H. Green was a Harlem, New York, postal worker and community leader. The book became so popular that Green created a publishing office in Harlem and hired a staff to keep up with demand. By the 1940's 15,000 copies were produced annually, which were sold to both the white marketplace and black-owned businesses. In 1947 Green established a Vacation Reservation Service to book reservations at places listed in the book. His travel bureau operated at offices at 200. W. 135th Street in Harlem, New York.
In his introduction, Green wrote: "There will be a day sometime in the near future when this guide will not have to be published. That is when we as a race will have equal rights and privileges in the United States."
After passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Green ceased publication.

- Why do you think this image was created?
- When was it made?
- What questions can you develop to help you learn more about this book?
- Next give students ten minutes to explore the book on their own. As they search they will need to jot down questions they have and note interesting information.
- Ask students: Why was it necessary to have a guide like this for Blacks traveling throughout the United States? Which states seemed to have more accommodating locations for African Americans? Why do you think this was the case?
- Discuss questions above and student generated questions with class.
- Next explain to students that they will need to create an itinerary for a Black family traveling by car from Chicago, Illinois to Biloxi, Mississippi. Students will need to use the Green Book, a blank map of the United States, the itinerary sheet and guidelines included in this lesson, and the Green Book Google Map. (You can substitute your own destination or starting point.)
- Allow one full class period to plan the itinerary. Students will need to keep track of their notes and questions for discussion afterward.
- Have students trade their itineraries with a different group. Each group will critique itineraries for practicality, ask questions and discuss the idea of traveling for African Americans during the civil rights era.
- Groups will collect their own itineraries and use it to draw a route map (using the blank copy of the United States map) that outlines their travels.
- After itineraries have been completed, reconvene to discuss the planning process with students. Ask: What complications did you encounter while planning your trip?
- Explain why doing something simple like traveling to visit a family member during the civil rights era may have been a complex process for most African Americans.

Using Energy2D to simulate Trombe wallsFebruary 26th, 2013 by Charles Xie
A Trombe wall is a sun-facing wall separated from the outdoors by glass and an air space. It consists a solar absorber (such as a dark surface) and two vents for air in the house to circulate through the space and carry the solar heat to warm the house up. In a way, a Trombe wall is like a machine that uses air as a convey belt of thermal energy harvested from the sun. Trombe walls are very simple and easy to make and are sometimes used in passive solar green buildings.
Hiding sophisticated power of computational fluid dynamics behind a simple graphical user interface, our Energy2D software can easily simulate how a Trombe wall works. The two images in this blog post show screenshots of a Trombe wall simulation and its closeup version. You can play the simulation on this page and download the models there. If you open the models using Energy2D, you should be able to see how easy it is to tweak the models and create realistic heat flow simulations.
Solar chimneys operate based on similar principles. Energy2D should be able to simulate solar chimneys as well. Perhaps this would be a good challenge to you. (I will post a solar chimney simulation later if I figure out how to do it.)

Definitions:
Pound Per Square Foot (abbreviations: psf, or lb/ft2): is a British (Imperial) and American pressure unit which is directly related to the psi pressure unit by a factor of 144 (1 sq ft = 12 in x 12 in = 144 sq in). Where, 1 pound per square foot equals 47.8803 pascals.
Bar (abbreviation: bar): is a metric (still not approved by the International System of Units, SI) unit of pressure. It is exactly equal to 100,000 Pa and slightly lower than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth, at sea level.
How to Convert Pounds Per Square Feet to Bars
Example: How many Bars are equivalent to 96.44 pounds per square feet?
As;
1 pounds per square feet = 0.00047881924477669 Bars
96.44 pounds per square feet = Y Bars
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 96.44 times 0.00047881924477669 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 96.44 * 0.00047881924477669 / 1 = 0.046177327966264 Bars
Answer is: 0.046177327966264 Bars are equivalent to 96.44 pounds per square feet.
