 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__beforew__(<word> <pattern list>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 + * If the <word> argument is omitted this function returns the empty string.
 + * The <pattern list> does not actually need to be a list of wildcard patterns. A list of literal words will work just fine.
 + * If <word> is not matched by any of the words in <pattern list>, this function returns the empty string.
 + * Otherwise, the function behaves "as if" the following had been performed: <val> = rmatch(<word> <word/pattern list>) <function_return> = leftw(<val> <word/pattern list>)
 + * Remember that <pattern list> is a list of [[what is a word|words]].
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +This function lets you get the part of <pattern list> that occurs BEFORE
 +the pattern that is the "best match" for <word>. You can of course use
 +this function with a list of literal words.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +The portion of <pattern list> before the pattern that is the "best match"
 +of <word>. A word is always "best matched" by itself; see the help file
 +on pattern matching for more detail.
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +<file>
 +$beforew(foobar one two foobar my shoe) returns "one two"
 +$beforew(booya one two foobar my shoe) returns "" (empty string)
 +$beforew(foobar o* t* f* m* s*) returns "o* t*"
 +$beforew(booya o* t* f* m* s*) returns "" (empty string)
 +$beforew(foobar f* fo* foobar foo* foob*) returns "f* fo*"
 +</file>
 +
 +======History:======
 +This function first appeared in "plus 2" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC)

What does "no explicit time dependence" mean in this context? :
A symmetry of the KdV is given by $$\tilde x=x, \tilde t=t+\epsilon, \tilde u =u$$ as there is no explicit time dependence in the KdV.

In Physics, the notion of explicit time dependence denotes equations where the time parameter t occurs "freely" and not only as a $\frac{d}{dt}$. So an equation of the form $v(x)=a_0t+v_0$ is explicitly time dependent, but $a(x)=a_0$ is not.

Thank you, Dominik. Just to confirm my understanding of your explanation: the partial derivative wrt $t$ does not count as explicitly time-dependent, only an actual factor of $t$ in the equation does? – Henry Nov 24 '12 at 19:59
That's right. Another commonly used word for this is that the equation is autonomous, a word which for unfathomable reasons doesn't appear in the wikipedia article on differential equations. – Harald Hanche-Olsen Nov 24 '12 at 20:24
Thank you, _USER_-Olsen! – Henry Nov 24 '12 at 21:45

Abundance Insider: November 15th, 2018
Nov 16, 2018
In this week's Abundance Insider: AI news anchors, urine-based bio-bricks, and crowdsourced AI ethics.
P.P.P.S. This week we feature the work of four of Peter's Strike Force Fellows. The Strike Force Fellowship Program aims to connect & empower young entrepreneurs to find their MTP, take moonshots and leverage exponential technologies as they start their careers. To learn more about the program, and to meet the Fellows, visit this page.
This Co-Op Solar Project Will Be Owned By The Community Members It Benefits
What it is: In Brooklyn's Sunset Park waterfront neighborhood, a unique partnership between NYCEDC, the nonprofit Solar One, the cooperative financing agency Co-op Power, and the local environmental advocacy group Uprose is creating an 80,000-square-foot solar garden. This innovative, cooperatively owned urban power supply is one of the first to provide power to low-income residents: roughly 30 percent of Sunset Park lives below the poverty line and spends close to 10 percent of their annual income on energy costs.
Why it's important: Exponential technologies like solar are rapidly demonetizing and democratizing energy access, creating massive entrepreneurial opportunities at the intersection of grand challenges in poverty, the environment, and highly distributed free energy. What other challenges could nontraditional partnerships like this address in domains like housing or healthcare? Share on Facebook

World-First: Bio-Bricks From Urine
What it is: Researchers at the University of Cape Town discovered a novel method for transforming urine into bricks, with any leftover materials converted into farm fertilizer. Using a natural process used by coral reefs known as 'microbial carbonate precipitation,' they found that they could turn urine into bricks within three to five days. Waiting longer allows the bricks to maximize in hardness with an equivalence in strength to clay bricks (ranging from 3 megapascals to 5 megapascals). For reference, a military submarine needs to withstand 5 megapascals at 500 meters in the ocean. After 48 hours of creation, the bricks lose their ammonia smell and have a gray texture similar to normal bricks. They form at room temperature and pose zero health risks.
Why it's important: "The ideal future for the bio-bricks is to create a more sustainable society," said Dr. Dyllon Randall, the supervisor of this project, in an interview. "I want us to rethink typical 'waste' streams rather as resources and to develop innovative processes to recover these." Currently, generating a single brick requires about 7 to 8 gallons of urine; however, when applied on an exponential scale for billions of people, these numbers become much more manageable.

Global Preferences For Who To Save In Self-Driving Car Crashes Revealed
download (1)What it is: MIT researchers have created a "serious game" called Moral Machine to crowdsource answers to important ethical questions about artificial intelligence. Participants answer what they would do in a variety of situations (each situation of the same ethical ilk as the age-old Trolley Problem). Millions of users made over 40 million ethical decisions. This massive data set revealed major global trends (such as "favoring the lives of many over the few"), along with key differences in moral judgments across different geographies and cultures (e.g. whether they would prioritize the lives of the young over the old in a car crash).
Why it's important: This citizen science platform crowdsources the moral intuition of a society — a novel method for creating policies about artificial intelligence. It's an important step toward a socially acceptable, universal AI ethics system and a future of morally intelligent machines. Share on Facebook

China's State-Run Press Agency Has Created An 'AI Anchor' To Read The News
What it is: China's Xinhua News Agency has just released AI news anchors, built using footage of human TV hosts in collaboration with Chinese search engine company Sogou. Enabled by a machine learning program that synthesizes humanlike lip movements, facial expressions and persuasively lifelike speech, these digital anchors can read and deliver news far more efficiently than with traditional CGI. And so long as human editors continuously feed text to the system, AI hosts can work 24/7, delivering breaking news in a matter of minutes and drastically cutting costs.
Why it's important: While Xinhua's AI anchors still require technical tweaks to a limited facial expression range and still artificial voice, machine learning is already making great strides in this arena. And as virtual hosts can now be customized from human footage, we might imagine a world in which you choose who delivers your news on a given topic — imagine Neil deGrasse Tyson walking you through this morning's most recent space discovery, or a digitally revived Steve Irwin keeping you up to date on environmental conservation news. Long-term, AI news anchors could even harness our trillion-sensor economy, drawing real-time updates from instantaneously synthesized data. Share on Facebook

IBM Watson And Kronos Offer A Career Coach For Hourly Workers
What it is: IBM and workforce management platform Kronos are teaming up to use IBM Watson to digitize, demonetize, and democratize career development for hourly workers. The artificial intelligence system will guide hourly workers on open advancement opportunities within their organization. Further, the system will provide information about the necessary courses, trainings, and milestones required to receive a certain raise, bonus, or promotion within the company. Workers can easily access Watson Career Coach technology on mobile via chat.
Why it's important: With the rise of automation, unskilled labor roles must transition into more specialized jobs. This digital platform can help a massive portion of the U.S. workforce gain the skills they need to thrive in the near future — an opportunity to generate wealth while helping millions of workers forge impactful career paths.

Science Fair Project Encyclopedia
Smoke signals is an early form of the optical telegraph, developed by the native North Americans and Chinese (as in the towers of the Great Wall.) By covering an open fire with a blanket, and suddenly removing it for a short time, a puff of smoke is generated. With some training, the sizes, shapes of, and intervals between these puffs can be controlled in a way that can be observed from a long distance, and used to carry information.
Apparent to anyone within its visual range, the smoke signal is not a standardized code that can be easily translated. Like other forms of communication, the signals are often of a predetermined pattern discerned by sender and receiver. Still, the smoke signal can abide by other universal patterns of communication. For example, as in other distress calls, a pattern of three would indicate a call for help.

Energy futures prices and the US dollar exchange rate
Raymond Li
Research output: Journal article publicationJournal articleAcademic researchpeer-review
4 Citations (Scopus)
This paper evaluates the relationship among the NYMEX futures prices for crude oil, unleaded gasoline, heating oil and the US trade-weighted exchange rate. The motivation is to update and extend the literature in an attempt to determine the relationship between the US exchange rate and energy prices. In addition, the causal relationships among the energy futures prices are examined. Cointegration is detected among the variables, but contrary to the existing empirical literature, it is found that the US exchange rate can be excluded from the cointegrating space. The Granger causality tests and impulse response functions also indicate that the US exchange rate is not related to the energy prices. The recursive cointegration analysis reveals that the relationship between the US exchange rate and the energy futures prices has faded across time. Australian Economic Papers

Applies to: Scarlett 1st gen 6i6, 18i8, 18i20 + Saffire range.
Many users want to use their Scarlett or Saffire for live-streaming programs like Skype or other VoIP programs.
Most VoIP programs are only able to send a single Mono stream to the internet, so they are restricted to the first input on any audio device. Usually, with the built-in microphone on your computer, you never notice this because even though it records on two channels, the two microphones are so close to each other that their signals are identical.
Some select programs may be able to address the first two inputs of an audio interface and send a stereo stream to the internet, so if this is the case, you can alter these settings to create a Stereo Mix rather than a Mono Mix.
You can use the Mix feature on Scarlett Mix Control and Saffire Mix Control to create a Mix-Minus. This will blend your inputs into one Mono Signal, which you can route back to Input 1 so that Skype can receive it.
The following example uses a Scarlett 18i20 and Scarlett Mix Control, and the Mix contains a 7-microphone set-up for the Skype call.
1. Open Scarlett Mix Control and click a new Mix Tab, such as Mix 3. We will use Mix 3 to create our Mix Minus. In Mix 3 mute Input 1 to avoid a feedback loop.
2. Mix 3 contains a 7 microphone set up for the Skype call. In order to get the signal of all 7 microphones into Skype, route Mix 3 to an output on the Scarlett 18i20. In this example, we will be routing Mix 3 to Output 3.
3. Using a TRS-TRS 1/4" cable, connect one end of the cable to Output 3 and connect the other end of the cable to Input 1 as shown below.
4. Open Skype > Audio & Video Settings and set the Scarlett 18i20 as the Input device
5. Raise the gain on Input 1 until the desired signal level is reached.
You are now ready to start your Skype call. You can use Mix 3 in Scarlett Mix Control to mix the live conference.
You can record all of your microphone inputs in your recording software on individual tracks, and you can also record Mix 3, which contains the combined microphone signals, on a track using Input 1. This is a great set-up to have if you are running a live stream and want to do a final mix later, but also keep the live Mono Mix for backup.
None of the adjustments made to the channel faders in Mix Control affect the microphone signals being recorded in your recording software.
The steps above are the same when creating a Mix-Minus for the Saffire interfaces using Saffire Mix Control. Lastly, please note that it is not possible to create a Mix-Minus with the Scarlett Solo, Scarlett 2i2, and Scarlett 2i4 because these interfaces do not use Scarlett Mix Control.

Speaking Of Produce Washes
Jim Prevor's Perishable Pundit, December 1, 2006
Tenessee State University did a presentation entitled: Using Consumer and laboratory Research for the Development of a Printed and On-line Brochure Promoting Consumption of Safer Fruits and Vegetables
Basically it is a presentation about how they researched what are good practices for consumers and then created a brochure, both in print and online, to promote both consumption and safe handling of produce.
Part of the research focused on the efficacy of washes and the conclusions were as follows:
- Wiping apples and tomatoes with paper towels showed little bacterial reduction.
- Generally, water, vinegar, lemon juice and vegetable wash solutions reduced bacteria population approximately the same amounts
- It is cost effective for consumers to use cold running tap water instead of other washing solutions to reduce microbial contamination on fresh produce.

Unique Differences Between Historical Dramas In China, Japan And Korea
The 3 countries have major differences.
There are lots of fun traditional dramas that have come out of China, Japan, and Korea. Check out some of the subtle differences between them!
1. China
Most of them are pre-produced, so sometime entire scenes must be re-filmed even if the drama has entered the editing process.
Korean dramas tend not to do this as it raises the cost of production. It's possible for Korean dramas to be finished editing mere hours before the episode airs.
For dramas set in the Qing Dynasty, actors must shave their heads for the role.
Though costume makeup has developed, many actors still shave their heads to make the drama more realistic.
2. Japan
Japanese dramas about the Edo period also require male actors to shave parts of their head.
Supposedly, this hairstyle made it easier for samurai to wear their helmets and was a sign of honour.
On NHK, they have an annual historical drama called "Taiga dramas" that broadcast every Sunday, from January to December.
Each story changes every year, and the tradition began back in 1963. At the end of the year, they broadcast a special 3 to 4 hour version of the full story.
3. Korea
Many actors in Korean traditional dramas decide to forgo the hairstyle of their ancestors, and simply cover their heads with traditional headgear.
According to ancient texts, this is how their ancestors styled their hair.
It's understandable that Korean actors decided to avoid this unique hairstyle.

Karachi: This International Children's Day, Peek Freans Gluco has launched a new rhyme, 'Qadam Barhaein Hum' in their popular series in the children's edutainment category, called Gluco Kahani. This rhyme comes as a gift to Gluco Kahani's young fans through which they can learn social, moral, and ethical values in their national language Urdu.
Gluco Kahani is a platform launched under the umbrella of Peek Freans Gluco in partnership with Bilal Maqsood and Talisman Animation featuring rhymes in our local language with the agenda to give purposeful content to our future generation. Together with Bilal's soulful voice, these rhymes directed by Umer Adil, provide quality content with invaluable life lessons for children.
Treatment of Women's Cancers Prioritized through Roche and Greenstar Collaboration
Our latest rhyme relays a meaningful and heart touching message in the context of the difficult times Pakistan is experiencing – that of catastrophic floods faced by millions of Pakistanis. 'Qadam Barhaein Hum' is a metaphoric depiction of the nation coming together to help their communities. It is the story of a bird, whose nest and fledglings are caught in a heavy storm, but the brave animals of the jungle work together to rescue them successfully.
The heart-touching concept teaches our children the importance of empathy, kindness, and the power of coming together in the face of adversity. This new addition to Gluco Kahani's platform holds a special place in the series because of the message it carries. It resonates with the humanitarian efforts of Pakistanis, from all walks of life, coming forward in times of need.
The rhyme 'Qadam Barhaein Hum' builds on the eight, previously released rhymes as a medium for parents to help teach their children important life lessons. It also adheres to the vision of Peek Freans Gluco to nourish the lives of future generations with good quality animated urdu-content that children can resonate with, given its messaging.
"Children observe and absorb emotions and messages from their environment. And recently they have witnessed the incredible distress faced by the people of Pakistan. This rhyme, in the simplest of ways, acts as a reminder to us all to show compassion for others when tragedy strikes and teaches the values of empathy, kindness, and community to our children. This project continues Peek Freans Gluco's commitment to help nourish future generations wholistically" said GM Marketing, Aaminah Saeed of EBM.

Water Works Park is a 1,500-acre urban park – one of the largest in the nation – and a critical source of clean drinking water to 500,000 Central Iowans.
A Master Plan was launched in 2013 to create a road map for the future of Water Works Park. The plan aims to create and grow a park that celebrates clean water by not only conserving land and enhancing the park's innovative natural water filtration system, but also offering more recreational and educational opportunities.
With easier access to the outdoors and environmental education, Water Works Park can help transform the way our community thinks about water and act to protect it.
Although many of us know Water Works Park as an urban oasis, the park's primary mission is to serve as the first water source for Central Iowans.
The Master Plan for Water Works Park will introduce visitors to the park's many assets through better wayfinding; support systems such as parking, bathrooms, and food trucks; and safe connections to neighboring Gray's Lake Park and the many regional trail systems.
Listening to the input provided by our community and enlisting volunteers to assist our efforts, helped us form the Master Plan.
This phase of the project connects Water Works Park to Gray's Lake Park and welcomes visitors to explore the park.
An amphitheater, natural play areas, and public art are featured improvements. Trails, vendor space, lighting, and public safety improvements are also included to make the park more accessible to users.
Development of the circuit includes deepening basins and creating chutes to increase surface water in the park. Shoreline restoration and other landscape work support the park's essential function as a water filtration system.
Plans also include improved access to fishing, the development of paddling opportunities, and additional educational displays, signage, and safety mechanisms.
Selected Memorial Trees Removed from Park
Construction for the first phase of Des Moines Water Works' community-driven master plan for Water Works Park improvements began in May 2018. During this 90-acre development project, 180 of the 1,100 memorial trees were removed from the crabapple arboretum.
Much consideration was given to placement of the improvements and their impact, including flooding risk, traffic, and safety. Tree removal was necessary to safely connect Gray's Lake Park with Water Works Park. The Foundation worked with Des Moines Water Works and the City of Des Moines to improve the existing 2005 design for a passageway under Fleur Drive. The passageway provides a much safer connection between the two parks, eliminating the interaction between heavy vehicular traffic and park visitors traveling between the two popular parks.
River Constellation includes memorial names on rings, and more rings are available to purchase.

How to Pin People on Snapchat
Understanding the Pinning Feature on Snapchat
Snapchat's Pinning feature allows you to keep track of important conversations with specific friends or groups by pinning them to the top of your chat list. This means that the conversation will stay at the top of your chat list, making it easier to access and find.
When you pin a conversation on Snapchat, a small thumbnail of the friend's Bitmoji or profile picture appears next to the chat, indicating that it is pinned. You can pin both individual chats and group chats, and there is no limit to the number of conversations you can pin.
One of the main benefits of the Pinning feature is that it allows you to prioritize your conversations and stay organized. This can be especially helpful if you have a lot of friends or if you're part of multiple group chats. By pinning the most important conversations to the top, you won't have to scroll through your entire chat list to find them.
It's also worth noting that when you receive a new message from a pinned conversation, it will still appear at the top of your chat list, even if it's not the most recent message you've received. This ensures that you don't miss any important messages from your pinned conversations.
Overall, the Pinning feature on Snapchat is a handy tool for keeping track of important conversations and staying organized on the app.
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Pin People on Snapchat
Pinning a conversation on Snapchat is a quick and easy process. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to pin people on Snapchat:
 1. Open the Snapchat app and go to your chat list.
 2. Find the conversation that you want to pin and swipe right on the chat.
 3. A thumbtack icon should appear next to the conversation. Tap on the thumbtack icon.
 4. The conversation should now appear at the top of your chat list with a small thumbnail of the friend's Bitmoji or profile picture.
 5. To unpin a conversation, simply swipe right on the conversation again and tap on the thumbtack icon to remove it.
It's important to note that you can pin both individual chats and group chats on Snapchat. Additionally, there is no limit to the number of conversations you can pin.
By following these simple steps, you can easily pin people on Snapchat and keep track of your most important conversations on the app.
Customizing Your Pinned People on Snapchat
Snapchat's Pinning feature not only allows you to prioritize your conversations, but also customize the friends or groups that you pin. Here are some tips on how to customize your pinned people on Snapchat:
 1. Pin your closest friends or family members: Pinning your closest friends or family members can help you stay connected with the people who matter most to you. You can easily access their conversations at the top of your chat list and stay up-to-date with their latest messages.
 2. Pin important group chats: If you're part of multiple group chats on Snapchat, it can be helpful to pin the most important ones to the top of your chat list. This can include work-related group chats, study groups, or any other groups that you need to stay on top of.
 3. Pin conversations with your favorite celebrities or influencers: If you follow any celebrities or influencers on Snapchat, you can pin their conversations to the top of your chat list to stay up-to-date with their latest updates and posts.
 4. Unpin conversations as needed: It's important to regularly review your pinned conversations and unpin any that are no longer important or relevant. This can help you keep your chat list organized and prevent it from becoming cluttered.
By customizing your pinned people on Snapchat, you can create a personalized experience on the app and stay connected with the people and groups that matter most to you.
Troubleshooting Common Issues with Pinning on Snapchat
While pinning people on Snapchat is generally a smooth and simple process, there are some common issues that users may encounter. Here are some troubleshooting tips for common issues with pinning on Snapchat:
 1. Thumbtack icon not appearing: If the thumbtack icon doesn't appear when you swipe right on a chat, try restarting the app or updating to the latest version of Snapchat. You can also try clearing the cache on your device.
 2. Pinned conversations not staying at the top: If your pinned conversations are not staying at the top of your chat list, try unpinning and re-pinning the conversations. You can also try restarting the app or updating to the latest version of Snapchat.
 3. Can't pin certain conversations: If you're unable to pin certain conversations on Snapchat, it may be because the conversation is too old or inactive. Snapchat only allows you to pin conversations that have had recent activity.
 4. Pinned conversations not syncing across devices: If you use multiple devices to access Snapchat, your pinned conversations may not sync across devices. To fix this, try logging out and back in to your account on all devices.
 5. Pinned conversations disappearing: If your pinned conversations disappear from your chat list, it may be because the friend or group has blocked you or deleted their account. In this case, you won't be able to pin their conversations anymore.
By troubleshooting these common issues, you can ensure that your pinned conversations stay organized and accessible on Snapchat.
Exploring Creative Ways to Use the Pinning Feature on Snapchat
While pinning people on Snapchat is a useful tool for staying organized, there are also some creative ways to use the Pinning feature. Here are some ideas:
 1. Pin motivational messages or quotes: If you're using Snapchat as a way to motivate yourself, you can pin messages or quotes from friends or accounts that inspire you. This can help you stay focused and positive throughout the day.

Psychiatric Medical Consensus: Importance Over Patient Opinion
August 2, 2020 Natasha Tracy
Medical consensus in psychiatry is critical. Many people do have many opinions, of course, but understanding psychiatric medical consensus is what makes all the difference. If you have 1000 psychiatrists in a room, after all, you can be guaranteed someone is going to disagree on any subject, but who do you believe, the 999 or the one? And is a medical consensus in psychiatry worth more than the opinion of psychiatric patients?
What Is Medical Consensus in Psychiatry?
According to the Medical Dictionary,1 a "consensus statement" is:
A comprehensive summary of the opinions of a panel of experts about a particular scientific, medical, nursing, or administrative issue. Its purpose is to provide guidance to health care professionals esp. [especially] on controversial or poorly understood aspects of care.
So a psychiatric medical consensus, then, is a summary of opinions about a topic relating to psychiatry. As the above definition says, this is typically issued for controversial or poorly-understood subjects. A medical consensus may lead to a formal position or policy for an organization and typically drives practice guidelines.
For example, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) published the following in 2015 as their official position on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT):2
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a safe and effective evidence-based medical treatment. ECT is endorsed by the APA when administered by properly qualified psychiatrists for appropriately selected patients.
This is the conclusion all the available evidence has led to, even though ECT may be considered controversial by some.
Why a Psychiatric Medical Consensus Matters
Often, doctors look to a medical consensus for information on how to treat someone. That is because doctors don't have the time to read all the research on every topic. It's impossible to keep up with every study in every journal. Moreover, all doctors, even specialists like psychiatrists, must treat things in which they have not analyzed all the data. (The more refined the subject area of a specialist, however, the most likely they know all the literature on it.) That's why experts in a particular area of medicine, those who do understand the technical details behind all the studies on a given subject, are the ones who shape the medical consensus. Consensus indicates a broad acceptance.
For example, for the above, the APA Assemply plus their Board of Trustees had to sign off on the written official policy.
Don't Patient Opinions Matter in a Medical Consensus in Psychiatry?
Whether or not a psychiatric medical consensus matters more than the opinions of patients depends on how you look at it. Any patient's opinion matters to that patient and, hopefully, his or her provider. However, does a patient opinion matter to the medical consensus in a field like psychiatry? Probably not.
For example, there are special interest groups out there who will tell you that ECT is evil and should be outlawed. There are also people who have had bad experiences with ECT. But as I said, in any room of 1000 people (like patients), some are going to disagree (and in the case of patients, most aren't going to understand the scientific literature).
And if you research ECT on your own, you may be very scared by the bad experienced and/or swayed by special interest groups. These things may form your opinion on ECT.
Why Medical Consensuses in Psychiatry Matter More Than Your Opinion
And this is where the importance of a psychiatric medical consensus comes in. During your research, you may have found scary stories, but those stories are by one person on the Internet, and you don't even know if they are real. And if there is a group that collects these stories, they may look overwhelming. Moreover, you may have found a study that appeared to support a scary position. But the psychiatric medical consensus on ECT should be weighed more heavily than any of that because actual experts drove it. Actual experts who really run studies and treat patients every day and understand neuroscience drove that consensus. That makes it infinitely more meaningful than random anecdotes on the Internet. It also makes it more meaningful than any one, single study of which you don't understand the mechanics.
I get asked all the time what my opinion is of ECT, and I get asked whether an individual should get it. My answer is always the same: Electroconvulsive therapy can be a very effective treatment for some conditions (like treatment-resistant depression) and is a good choice for some people and not others. The only way you will know which one you are is by talking to your psychiatrist.
I can confidently say that because my opinions, too, are evidence- and consensus-driven. I know that some people don't agree with that, and that's okay. Psychiatric medical consensus is more important than those patient's opinions. And that's okay.
(Note that I am not saying you have to do something just because there is a medical consensus in psychiatry. As I mentioned, each person is an individual, meaning that some things will be right for you while others won't. That's okay, too.)

I think I understand the point you are trying to make, that psychiatrists need a guide of some sort based on a consensus of well educated, experienced professionals in their field of expertise. Somewhat like how info is currently collated into the DSM and revised every couple of years.
I've noticed that some psychiatrists specialize/focus a large part of their practice on patients with a particular type of diagnosis (since that's where their special skill set lies). Their main focus being on maybe a half dozen different diagnosis.
In much the same way a psychologist will often focus their practice on treating individuals with a certain type of issue ie drug & alcohol addiction, depression & anxiety, marriage & family, PTSD & sexual abuse, etc
Having an overall guide is good, but in my humble opinion...
The treatment is only as good as the diagnosis and the diagnosis is only as good as the one making it and the information received from the patients themselves as well as those that know them best.
Unlike days of old, professionals nowadays do not spend nearly enough time getting to know their patients or allow outside input from those that know them best.
In my opinion professionals need to focus a lot more on building a strong healthy empathetic therapeutic relationship with their patients. Empathy and trust goes a long way in getting a patient to open up. I've heard of some drs who won't even tell a patient what their diagnosis is. How can anyone be expected to trust a dr who prescribes meds for an illness that they are not even informed about. A collaborative caring approach is much more important than an authoritative paternal one. Drs need to take the time to listen more and address their patients concerns instead of being dismissive of them or undermining their intelligence. The patient needs to buy into their diagnosis to accept it and take appropriate responsibility in the treatment of it
I recently watched a heartbreaking video by Kay Warren the mother of Matthew Warren who committed suicide. She entrusted her son's life to the professionals who were unable to help him. Ironically Matthew's father Rick Warren wrote the popular book "A Purpose Driven Life". Kay has become a mental health advocate. Here is her speech at a summit on children's mental health
_URL_ and one in front of a group of psychiatrists _URL_
Matthew Warren lived with mental illness and suicidal ideation from a young age. His diagnoses included depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder and near the end of his life, borderline personality disorder. Matthew, took his life on April 5, 2013. The system had failed him. He'd become cynical of professional help, and turned to a blog devoted entirely to people on the verge of suicide. A very tragic ending

The rapid growth of Short Message Service (SMS) text messaging is generating substantial commercial and research interest in fast and efficient text input methods for mobile devices. This paper presents an empirical study that compares three mobile phone text input techniques. The methods are 'multi-press input with timeout', 'multi-press input with a next button', and 'two-key'. The study shows that there is a significant speed difference, in words per minute (wpm), between the methods. The multi-press with next method provided the most rapid text input at 7.2 wpm, followed by multi-press with timeout at 6.4 wpm. The two-key method was the slowest at 5.5 wpm. These results are much slower than those predicted by Fitts' Law models reported in prior re- search. Subjective results regarding learnability, errors and efficiency showed no significant difference between the methods.

The Andrews Labor Government is preserving Victoria's past with the Local History Grants program, making the state's rich history and the lived stories behind it more accessible to all Victorians.
Minister for Government Services Danny Pearson today announced $350,000 for the program which will support projects that preserve, record and share Victoria's history.
Managed by Public Record Office Victoria, the program is now accepting applications for funding up to $15,000 per project, for local historians and community organisations across the state.
The Local History Grants have seen the diverse tapestry of Victoria's local history enshrined, with last year's fund attracting 52 community groups who explored their unique stories across multiple mediums. Museum of Chinese Australian History delivered Chinese Australian family stories in a podcast series, while Forum on Australia's Islamic Relations created video stories depicting challenges faced by Turkish migrants in regional Victoria from 1968 to 1974. Palais Arts Fund captured oral histories in a series of events held at Geelong's Palais, setting the stories against a backdrop of the city's evolution into a multicultural metropolis. Other successful projects have helped reach more Victorians by capturing the state's history in new ways, including interactive online exhibitions, e-books and apps.
Community groups can apply for funding at _URL_.
Quotes attributable to Minister for Government Services Danny Pearson
"Capturing Victoria's diverse history allows us to celebrate, reflect and learn – which is why we're supporting the innovative and creative work to keep our history alive through the Local History Grants program."
"This funding for community and history groups will help to preserve and share Victoria's rich local history for generations to come."
Quote attributable to Public Record Office Victoria Director and Keeper of Public Records Justine Heazlewood
"From sports club and school anniversary projects, to historical society and museum collection preservation works, we encourage all groups committed to sharing Victoria's history to apply for the Local History Grants Program."


bc \neq 0}, we can define the Möbius transformation (or fractional linear transformation) {z \mapsto \frac{az+b}{cz+d}} for {z \neq \infty, -d/c}, with the convention that {-d/c} is mapped to {\infty} and {\infty} is mapped to {a/c} (where we adopt the further convention that {a/0=\infty} for non-zero {a}). For {c=0}, this is an affine transformation {z \mapsto \frac{a}{d} z + \frac{b}{d}}, which is clearly a composition of a translation and dilation map; for {c \neq 0}, this is a combination {z \mapsto \frac{a}{c} - \frac{ad-bc}{cz+d}} of translations, dilations, and the inversion map. Thus all Möbius transformations are formed from composition of the translations, dilations, and inversions, and in particular are also automorphisms of the Riemann sphere; it is also easy to see that the Möbius transformations are closed under composition, and are thus the group generated by the translations, dilations, and inversions.
One can interpret the Möbius transformations as projective linear transformations as follows. Recall that the general linear group {GL_2({\bf C})} is the group of {2 \times 2} matrices {\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix}} with non-vanishing determinant {ad-bc}. Clearly every such matrix generates a Möbius transformation {z \mapsto \frac{az+b}{cz+d}}. However, two different elements of {GL_2({\bf C})} can generate the same Möbius transformation if they are scalar multiples of each other. If we define the projective linear group {PGL_2({\bf C})} to be the quotient group of {GL_2({\bf C})} by the group of scalar invertible matrices, then we may identify the set of Möbius transformations with {PGL_2({\bf C})}. The group {GL_2({\bf C})} acts on the space {{\bf C}^2} by the usual map
\displaystyle \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} z \\ w \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} az+bw \\ cz+dw \end{pmatrix}.
If we let {{\bf CP}^1} be the complex projective line, that is to say the space of one-dimensional subspaces of {{\bf C}^2}, then {GL_2({\bf C})} acts on this space also, with the action of the scalars being trivial, so we have an action of {PGL_2({\bf C})} on {{\bf CP}^1}. We can identify the Riemann sphere {{\bf C} \cup \{\infty\}} with the complex projective line by identifying each {c \in {\bf C} \subset {\bf C} \cup \{\infty\}} with the one-dimensional subspace {\{ (cw,w): w \in {\bf C} \}} of {{\bf C}^2}, and identifying {\infty \in {\bf C} \cup \{\infty\}} with {\{ (z,0): z \in {\bf C}\}}. With this identification, one can check that the action of {PGL_2({\bf C})} on {{\bf CP}^1} has become identified with the action of the group of Möbius transformations on {{\bf C} \cup \{\infty\}}. (In particular, the group of Möbius transformations is isomorphic to {PGL_2({\bf C})}.)
There are enough Möbius transformations available that their action on the Riemann sphere is not merely transitive, but is in fact {3}-transitive:
Lemma 10 ({3}-transitivity) Let {z_1,z_2,z_3} be distinct elements of the Riemann sphere {{\bf C} \cup \{\infty\}}, and let {w_1,w_2,w_3} also be three distinct elements of the Riemann sphere. Then there exists a unique Möbius transformation {T} such that {T(z_j) = w_j} for {j=1,2,3}.
Proof: We first show existence. As the Möbius transformations form a group, it suffices to verify the claim for a single choice of {z_1,z_2,z_3}, for instance {z_1 = 0, z_2 = 1, z_3 = \infty}. If {w_3=\infty} then the affine transformation {z \mapsto w_1 + z(w_2-w_1)} will have the desired properties. If {w_3 \neq \infty}, we can use translation and inversion to find a Möbius transformation {S} that maps {w_3} to {\infty}; applying the previous case with {w_1,w_2,w_3} with {S(w_1), S(w_2), S(w_3)} and then applying {S^{-1}}, we obtain the claim.
Now we prove uniqueness. By composing on the left and right with Möbius transforms we may assume that {z_1=w_1=0, z_2=w_2=1, z_3=w_3=\infty}. A Möbius transformation {z \mapsto \frac{az+b}{cz+d}} that fixes {0,1,\infty} must obey the constraints {b=0, a+b=c+d, c=0} and so must be the identity, as required. \Box
Möbius transformations are not 4-transitive, thanks to the invariant known as the cross-ratio:
Exercise 11 Define the cross-ratio {[z_1,z_2; z_3,z_4]} between four distinct points {z_1,z_2,z_3,z_4} on the Riemann sphere {{\bf C} \cup \{\infty\}} by the formula
\displaystyle [z_1,z_2; z_3,z_4] = \frac{(z_1-z_3)(z_2-z_4)}{(z_2-z_3)(z_1-z_4)}
if all of {z_1,z_2,z_3,z_4} avoid {\infty}, and extended continuously to the case when one of the points equals {\infty} (e.g. {[z_1,z_2;z_3,\infty] = \frac{z_1-z_3}{z_2-z_3}}.
 - (i) Show that an injective map {T: {\bf C} \cup \{\infty\} \rightarrow {\bf C} \rightarrow \{\infty\}} is a Möbius transform if and only if it preserves the cross-ratio, that is to say that {[T(z_1),T(z_2);T(z_3),T(z_4)] = [z_1,z_2;z_3,z_4]} for all distinct points {z_1,z_2,z_3,z_4 \in {\bf C} \cup \{\infty\}}. (Hint: for the "only if" part, work with the basic Möbius transforms. For the "if" part, reduce to the case when {T} fixes three points, such as {0,1,\infty}.)
 - (ii) If {z_1,z_2,z_3,z_4} are distinct points in {{\bf C} \cup \{\infty\}}, show that {z_1,z_2,z_3,z_4} lie on a common extended line (i.e., a line in {{\bf C}} together with {\infty

- Eagle Mountain Still at Risk
- Send Email to BLM by Nov. 6
Many wonderful desert advocates and stakeholders fought for decades to protect the beautiful and wildlife-rich Eagle Mountain region. This area on the southern boundary of Joshua Tree National Park has faced grave threats, including a proposed mega-dump. Luckily, instead of being home to the nation's largest landfill, the Eagle Mountain lands could be better protected because the National Park Service is considering adding these lands to Joshua Tree National Park.
Unfortunately, a significant threat to the region remains. The Eagle Crest Pumped Storage Project, a hydroelectric energy development, would deplete precious groundwater supplies and harm wildlife, including golden eagles, desert tortoises and bighorn sheep. The National Park Service and the Department of Interior believe the science underlying the Eagle Crest project is deeply flawed. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is evaluating the project's transmission line, but has only conducted an environmental assessment, a very cursory study.
Please urge the BLM to better protect Joshua Tree National Park by doing a more thorough environmental review - a full and comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) - ensuring better protection for park resources and better decision-making about our public lands.
SEND COMMENTS TO THE FOLLOWING EMAIL BY NOV. 6, 2016:
You may use this sample letter or draw from it to write your own. Dear California State BLM Director Perez:
For decades, the public has fought to protect the Eagle Mountain region from harmful projects, including the Eagle Mountain Landfill. The majority of desert residents support the opportunity to return these lands to Joshua Tree National Park. But the proposed Eagle Crest Pumped Storage Project would deplete groundwater and threaten Joshua Tree National Park's desert tortoises, bighorn sheep and golden eagles.
The National Park Service has drawn attention to the project's threats to park resources and criticized the inadequate science currently being used to evaluate the project and its transmission line, the last component the development company would need the BLM to approve.
Please take a deeper look at the impacts of the transmission line and the project's overall potential to harm Joshua Tree National Park's wildlife and water resources by conducting a full Environmental Impact Statement. Such a review will help us better protect Joshua Tree National Park and understand the full impacts of the Eagle Crest project.
Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,

This entry discusses the use of the following to programmatically alter a receive or send pipeline component(s) properties:
BTS.SendPipelineConfig
BTS.SendPipelineResponseConfig
BTS.ReceivePipelineConfig
BTS.ReceivePipelineResponseConfig
There is a link at the end of this entry to download a couple of examples.
Before discussing the above properties, two BizTalk 2006 pipeline enhancements are:
1) The execution of send and receive pipelines in orchestrations. This feature allows a receive or send pipeline to be executed without the use of a physical receive or send port.
2) Per Instance Pipeline Configuration using the BizTalk 2006 Administration Console. This allows changing the properties of receive and send pipeline components that
are set in the various stages of receive and send pipelines. The receive and send pipelines are configured to be invoked in physical receive and send ports. For example, as below the MIME/SMIME decoder pipeline component configuration of a receive pipeline can be altered on a per instance basis using the BizTalk 2006 Administration tool.
Both 1) and 2) are extremely useful features new for BizTalk 2006.
An additional feature that would be useful (in some cases) would be to alter a pipelines component property values in an orchestration.
As below the following properties may be set for a message in an orchestration.
Property Type of Port
BTS.SendPipelineConfig Send Pipeline Configuration for a Two Way or One Way Send Port
BTS.SendPipelineResponseConfig Receive Pipeline Configuration for a Two Way Send Port
BTS.ReceivePipelineConfig Receive Pipeline For a Two or One Way Receive Port
BTS.ReceivePipelineResponseConfig Send Pipeline for a Two way Receive Port
For the below receive pipeline configured with a MIME/SMIME decoder:
The below XML is used internally by BizTalk to store the above configuration:
The above XML configuration can then be modified using a statement as below in a message assignment shape in an orchestration:
When the above altered message is sent through a physical port that is set to use a receive pipeline configured with the MIME/SMIME component (in the decode stage):
The new configuration for the MIME/SMIME component (programmatically set in the orchestration) will then temporarily override the hardcoded configuration or the per-instance configuration pipelines configuration.
Ideally this is useful to cut down on the number of pipelines or physical send or receive ports that have to be created.
In order to use this method you can do the following:
1) Create receive or send pipelines set with the appropriate pipeline components. Deploy the pipelines.
Note: You do not have to configure the pipeline components properties.
Note: You can also use the out of the box XML Receive or Send pipelines.
2) Create physical ports that are set to use the pipelines from 1).
3) Create and deploy orchestrations that temporarily override the hardcoded or per-instance send or receive ports pipeline configuration as was illustrated in an above graphic.
Logical ports in the orchestration are needed to send or receive the messages from an orchestration. The logical ports are then bound to physical ports. The configuration set in the orchestration will then temporarily override the configuration of the physical ports.
Note: To get a sample of the configuration for a pipeline. Do the below:
Using a tool such as Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio, query/open and copy the following values for a port created in 2), from a row in the following table.column in the BizTalkMgmtDB database:
bts_sendport.nvcSendPipelineData
bts_sendport.nvcReceivePipelineData
adm_receivelocation.ReceivePipelineData
adm_receivelocation.SendPipelineData
Note: If the column/row for a port is null, using the BizTalk Console, edit the receive or send ports pipeline configuration so that it overrides the default configuration. The configuration for the pipeline component(s) should then be set in one of the above table.column combinations. You can then revert back to the default configuration, by choosing the passthrough pipeline and then again choosing the original pipeline.

Note: Do not modify the contents of the rows/columns directly in the BizTalkMgmtDB database.
Note. The BizTalk Object Model could also be used to retrieve the configurations.
Note: The configuration for the pipeline can be stored and then retrieved from a configuration store (i.e. config file, SSO, database etc) and then set in the orchestration.
4) Bind the logical ports in the deployed orchestrations from 3) to physical ports from 2).
Good Things
1) This is a technique to cut down on the number of pipeline components and/or physical ports.
For example if the same XML received message was to be delivered to the same file directory i.e. (C:\flatfiles) as a delimited and positional flat file,
the following send ports, pipelines and orchestrations would be required:
Executing Send Pipelines in an Orchestration
i) Send Pipeline with FlatFile Assembler component for delimited flat file.
ii) Send Pipeline with FlatFile Assembler component for positional flat file.
iii) Send Port configured with Passthrough pipeline.
iv) Orchestration
Per Instance Pipeline Configuration
i) Send Pipeline with FlatFile Assembler.
ii) Send Port with per instance configuration of above pipeline to create delimited flat file.
iii) Send Port with per instance configuration of above pipeline to create positional flat file.
iv) Optionally an orchestration.

Dynamically Configuring Pipeline Component Properties in a BizTalk Orchestration
i) Send Pipeline with FlatFile Assembler.
ii) Send Port configured to use above pipeline.
iii) Orchestration
Not So Good Things
1) To dynamically configure and execute a receive pipeline, a two way send port will have to be used. This might introduce the need for a loopback adapter. A loopback adapter also introduces messagebox hops that will degrade performance.
2) Maintaining a store of the Pipeline configuration XML. The configuration store replaces individual pipeline components or per instance configuration of pipelines in a physical send or receive port.
There are two examples included in the download :
1) Orchestration sets receive pipeline configuration and uses a loopback adapter that executes altered configuration.
2) Orchestration sets send pipeline configuration and uses send adapter to invoke altered configuration.
Note: A loopback adapter is also included in the download. Please read the ReadMe before installing
Unfortunately
I wish you could do something like the below:
OutputMessage(BTS.ReceivePipelineConfig) = "Pipeline Config XML would go here";
OutputMessage = Microsoft.XLANGs.Pipeline.XLANGPipelineManager.ExecuteReceivePipeline(typeof(PipelinesAndSchemas.ReceivePipeline), InputMessage);
It did not produce a runtime error, but the configuration for the Receive Pipeline was not overridden.
Last of All
I have yet to use this technique in a production environment. I have not tried this technique with pipelines configured to use multiple or custom components, but it should work with these scenarios. Please consider all the pros and cons of using this technique. Again, this could be an alternative to replace an unmanageable number of receive/send ports and pipelines.

The reconstituted village of the
Droulers/Tsiionhiakwatha Archaeological Site Interpretation Center
When Jacques Cartier arrived, the St. Lawrence Valley was inhabited by various Native communities, including the St. Lawrence Iroquoians. By the beginning of the 17th century, the St. Lawrence Iroquoian population seems to have deserted the St. Lawrence Valley, while several other groups, including the Huron-Wendats and the Five-Nation Iroquois, vied for control of the area. Like their St. Lawrence Iroquoian compatriots, the Iroquoians living at Saint-Anicet left few clues as to their fate.
Nevertheless, these people's traditions may not be entirely lost, and certain communities are making an effort to ensure that they are kept alive for future generations.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I want to do some math like plus, minus etc. with decimal values.
So i wrote two functions;
function to_decimal(i){
 var $dec = parseFloat(i);
 return $dec.toFixed(2);
function calc_price(){
 var $t = $('_TAG_.total').text();
 var $total = to_decimal($t);
 $('_TAG_ ul li').each(function(){
 var $p = to_decimal($(this).find('.item_price').text());
 $total = $total + $p;
 $t = $('_TAG_.total').text($total);
But these functions not working correctly i think because the result is returning string like 0.0010.30
Where is the problem?

toFixed returns a string. – Felix Kling Jul 27 '11 at 13:43

You need to add a + infront of that statement and you're fine:
return +$dec.toFixed(2);
That will convert the string into a number. If the string cannot get converted, it'll return the NaN value.
share|improve this answer
As an equivalent alternative, I often use $dec.toFixed(2) * 1 instead (multiplication by one). I feel like I'm more likely to notice my intent later; the + can be hard to miss. – lwburk Jul 27 '11 at 13:50
Instead of:
return $dec.toFixed(2);
return Math.round($dec*100)/100;
share|improve this answer
The toFixed method returns a string. Any mathematical operation that doesn't affect the output can be used to convert the string to a number (except addition, whose operator unfortunately doubles as the string concatenation operator):
$dec.toFixed(2) - 0
$dec.toFixed(2) / 1
$dec.toFixed(2) * 1
These are the fastest methods. However, if speed is not a concern (and it probably isn't when performing a small number of operations) then the clearest, most-readable method to convert a string to a number is the Number constructor:
Edit: The performance information above may no longer be universally true. The Number constructor is indeed considerably slower than each of the alternatives in IE 7.0 and Firefox 5, but actually performs the best in Chrome 12.0.742.

For questions on the divisor sum function and its generalizations.
In mathematics, and specifically in number theory, a divisor function is an arithmetic function that returns the number of distinct positive integer divisors of a positive integer.
Definition: The divisor function is the sum of positive integers dividing $n$, i.e., $$\sigma(n)=\sum\limits_{d\mid n} d~.$$ As usual, the notation "$d \mid n$ " as the range for a sum or product means that $~d~$ ranges over the positive divisors of $~n~$.
Often a related, more general function $$\sigma_a(n)=\sum\limits_{d\mid n} d^a$$ is studied. Both these functions are multiplicative.
The number of divisors function is given by $$\tau(n)=\sum\limits_{d\mid n} ~1$$
For example, the positive divisors of $~15~$ are $~1,~ 3,~ 5,~$ and $~15~$. So $$\sigma (15)=1+3+5+15=24\qquad \text{and}\qquad \tau(15)=4~.$$

State lawmakers expected to apologize to those placed in Japanese internment camps
CBS47 News
FRESNO, California — State lawmakers are expected to apologize to the families of more than 100,000 people placed in Japanese internment camps during World War II.
The California State Assembly is expected to approve a resolution Thursday.
Back in 1988, Congress gave survivors each $20,000 in reparations, but now after nearly 80 years the issue has surfaced once again.
The Assemblyman who proposed the resolution said he wants the california legislature to officially acknowledge and apologize while camp survivors are still alive.
One survivor is Les Ouchida.
He was just 5 years old, living in Fresno with his family when internment began for them.
They like many, were forced to abandon jobs, businesses and homes.
Les cites the findings of a presidential commission on why it happened.
"Racial prejudice, war hysteria and lack of political leadership.
So there was a lot of people not just politicians that didn't speak up." said Les Ouchida.
Les is now 82 years old, a volunteer at the california museum who often gives his insights to school children.
On Thursday, Les, as well as, many others are expected to, after so many years, get an apology.

Manifestations of Alcoholism
It is extremely hard to comprehend the contrast between social drinking and issue drinking (Alcohol Addiction). Alcohol is a broadly utilized and accessible drug which is acknowledged in numerous societies. Alcohol is devoured so regularly by various age bunch individuals and in social capacities also. Additionally alcoholics used to conceal their drinking propensities from their family and friends and family.

When it comes to exfoliating your skin, salt scrubs and sugar scrubs are two popular options. Both provide numerous benefits and help to reveal smooth and healthy-looking skin. But what are the differences between these two types of scrubs, and which one is right for your specific needs? In this post, we will explore the benefits of salt scrubs and sugar scrubs, helping you make an informed decision.
Salt scrubs are typically made with coarse salt granules, such as sea salt or Himalayan salt. Here are some of the key benefits of using salt scrubs:
- Exfoliation: The granules in salt scrubs are larger and more abrasive, making them ideal for removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. This deep exfoliation can leave your skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.
- Detoxification: Salt has natural detoxifying properties, which can help draw out impurities and toxins from your skin. This makes salt scrubs especially beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin.
- Improved Circulation: The abrasive nature of salt scrubs stimulates blood flow to the skin's surface, promoting better circulation. Increased blood flow can aid in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, resulting in a healthier complexion.
Sugar scrubs, on the other hand, are made with granulated sugar, often mixed with oils or other natural ingredients. Let's explore the benefits of using sugar scrubs:
- Gentler Exfoliation: Sugar granules are smaller and less abrasive than salt, making sugar scrubs a better option for sensitive or delicate skin. They effectively remove dead skin cells without causing irritation or micro-tears.
- Hydration: Sugar scrubs have a natural humectant property, meaning they help retain moisture in the skin. The sugar granules dissolve during exfoliation, leaving behind a soft, hydrated feeling on your skin.
- Nourishment: Many sugar scrubs contain nourishing ingredients like oils, vitamins, or antioxidants that provide additional benefits to your skin. These ingredients can help replenish and rejuvenate the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and supple.
Ultimately, the choice between salt scrubs and sugar scrubs depends on your skin type and personal preferences. If you have oily or acne-prone skin and prefer a more intense exfoliation, salt scrubs may be the right choice for you. However, if you have sensitive skin and desire a gentler exfoliation with added hydration, sugar scrubs might be a better fit. Experiment with both types to see which one your skin responds to best, and enjoy the benefits of smoother, healthier skin!


Last name origins & meanings:
 1. German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): regional name from (Lower) Saxony, German (Nieder-)Sachsen in northern Germany. The region is called after the Germanic tribe which settled there in Roman times and was named from a Germanic word which is preserved in Old Saxon, Old High German sahs 'knife', 'sword'. (The area in central Germany named Sachsen was named after the line of princes who had the title to the northern territories in 1422.)
 2. Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): name adopted in memory of persecuted forebears, an acronym of the Hebrew phrase Zera Qodesh SHemo 'his name is of the seed of holiness'.

Piotroski Score
DEFINITION of 'Piotroski Score'
A discrete score between 0-9 which reflects nine criteria used to determine the strength of a firm's financial position. The Piotroski score is used to determine the best value stocks, nine being the best. The score was named after Chicago Accounting Professor, Joseph Piotroski who devised the scale according to specific criteria found in the financial statements. For every criteria (below) that is met the company is given one point, if it is not met, then no points are awarded. The points are then added up to determine the best value stocks.
 - Positive return on assets in the current year (1 point).
 - Positive operating cash flow in the current year (1 point).
 - Higher return on assets (ROA) in the current period compared to the ROA in the previous year (1 point).
 - Cash flow from operations are greater than ROA (1 point)
Leverage, Liquidity and Source of Funds
 - Lower ratio of long term debt to in the current period compared value in the previous year (1 point).
 - Higher current ratio this year compared to the previous year (1 point).
 - No new shares were issued in the last year (1 point).
Operating Efficiency
 - A higher gross margin compared to the previous year (1 point).
 - A higher asset turnover ratio compared to the previous year (1 point).
BREAKING DOWN 'Piotroski Score'
If a company has a score of 8 or 9 it is considered strong. If the score adds up to between 0-2 points, the stock is considered weak. Piotroski's April 2000 paper Value Investing: The Use of Historical Financial Statement Information to Separate Winners from Losers, demonstrated that the Piotroski score method would have seen a 23% annual return between 1976 and 1996 if the expected winners were bought and expected losers shorted. With any investment system, looking at past results doesn't always means it will work in the future, but having an investment plan and rules is never a bad idea.

Sorghum is a known reservoir of drought adaptation mechanisms, but little detailed attention has been paid to root system attributes. In addition to improving drought adaptation, recent agronomic practices of varying row configuration (e.g. skip row systems) might be enhanced by improved understanding of root system architecture. We sought to explore extent of soil water capture by sorghum, its spatial variability in the soil, and its genetic regulation via factors affecting root system architecture. A range of field and rhizotron studies were conducted. An initial field study indicated water extraction progressed out from the plant radially to a distance beyond 2m. Nodal root angle was hypothesised as an indicator of genetic variability in root system architecture and a phenotyping system using mini-rhizotrons was developed. Significant variation in nodal root angle was identified across a diverse range of sorghum inbred lines. Four inbred lines with contrasting root angle were grown in large rhizotrons to study their water extraction patterns. An association between nodal root angle and the spatial distribution of the root system and water extraction of mature plants was observed. QTL for nodal root angle were mapped by screening a population that was developed by crossing two inbred sorghum lines with contrasting root angle. The four nodal root angle QTL identified explained 58.2% of the phenotypic variance and were validated across a range of diverse inbred lines. Three of the four nodal root angle QTL showed homology to previously identified root angle QTL in rice and maize, whereas all four QTL co-located with previously identified QTL for stay-green in sorghum. A putative association between nodal root angle QTL and grain yield was identified through single marker analysis on a subset of the mapping population grown in field trials in hybrid combination with three different tester lines. The identification of effective QTL associated with root system architecture presents new opportunities for improving drought adaptation via molecular breeding.

Transition in Time Series Data Mining on Correlated Items
The authors are given a large database of customer transactions, where each transaction consists of transaction-id, the items bought in the transaction and the transaction time. The whole set of transaction is divided into a number of segments called durations (intervals) based on transaction time. And the dividing standard can be monthly, quarterly or yearly. They introduce the problem of mining strong association rules between consecutive durations using FP-tree and correlation coefficient, which is used to quantitatively describe the strength and sign of a relationship between two variables. This paper deals with the changes in the correlation between any two itemsets at the transition of the consecutive duration. Milestone is a change over point between durations.
