Chris Hipkins keeps re-defining and lowering the standards of the Labour party with his Hipkins Standard. Today he has had a flick at PPP's and forgets his Labour party history, which is strange considering he worked in Clark's office.
This is highly amusing, as Labour passed the legislation allowing PPPs… and he should also talk to Annette king who was quite keen on PPPs as a concept:
The new Local Government Act of 2002 provided new possibilities for local authorities to work in partnership with other institutions, including central government, other councils, the private sector, and communities. The 2002 Act allowed the greater use of PPPs and required a PPP policy to be prepared and adopted as part of the long-term council community plan (now called long-term plan).
One year later, the Land Transport Management Act 2003 allowed public road controlling authorities to enter PPP-style concession agreements (see Figure 1) with third parties to build or operate roads. The term of the concession could not exceed 35 years and the responsible Minister had to approve any such agreement.
Hipkins' criticism of having someone actually overseeing the PPP is also in line with the Office of the Auditor General's recommendations:
Lessons learned so far from the process include:
- the need for clear project outcomes;
- the importance of PPP expertise in leading and managing the project;
- the need for senior managers to support and invest their time in the project; and
- the need for clear communication about the outcomes being sought.

An ideas bank is a website where people post, exchange, discuss, and polish new ideas. Some of these are for the purpose of developing new inventions or technologies. Many corporations are also installing internal ideas banks to gather the input from their employees. Some of those systems also use a voting system to estimate ideas value. In some cases, ideas banks can be more humor-oriented than their more serious counterparts. The underlying theory of an ideas bank is that if a large group of people collaborate on a project or the development of an idea that eventually said project or idea will reach perfection in the eyes of those who worked on it.

Customization Overview
This section explains some core JAXB customization concepts:
Inline and External Customizations
Customizations to the default JAXB bindings are made in the form of binding declarations passed to the JAXB binding compiler. These binding declarations can be made in either of two ways:
For some people, using inline customizations is easier because you can see your customizations in the context of the schema to which they apply. Conversely, using an external binding customization file enables you to customize JAXB bindings without having to modify the source schema, and enables you to easily apply customizations to several schema files at once.
Note –
You can combine the two types of customizations. For example, you could include a reference to an external binding customizations file in an inline annotation. However, you cannot declare both an inline and external customization on the same schema element.
Each of these types of customization is described in more detail below.
Inline Customizations
Customizations to JAXB bindings made by means of inline binding declarations in an XML schema file take the form of elements embedded in schema elements (xsd: is the XML schema namespace prefix, as defined in W3C XML Schema Part 1: Structures). The general form for inline customizations is shown below.
 binding declarations .
Customizations are applied at the location at which they are declared in the schema. For example, a declaration at the level of a particular element would apply to that element only. Note that the XMLSchema namespace prefix must be used with the and declaration tags. In the example above, xs: is used as the namespace prefix, so the declarations are tagged and .
External Binding Customization Files
Customizations to JAXB bindings made by means of an external file containing binding declarations take the general form shown below.
 *

For example, the first schemaLocation/node declaration in a JAXB binding declarations file specifies the schema name and the root schema node:
A subsequent schemaLocation/node declaration, say for a simpleType element named ZipCodeType in the above schema, would take the form:
Binding Customization File Format
Binding customization files should be straight ASCII text. The name or extension does not matter, although a typical extension, used in this chapter, is.xjb.
Passing Customization Files to the JAXB Binding Compiler
xjc -b file schema
Restrictions for External Binding Customizations
There are several rules that apply to binding declarations made in an external binding customization file that do not apply to similar declarations made inline in a source schema:
To summarize these rules, the external binding element is only recognized for processing by a JAXB binding compiler in three cases:
Scope, Inheritance, and Precedence
Default JAXB bindings can be customized or overridden at four different levels, or scopes.
Figure 17–3 illustrates the inheritance and precedence of customization declarations. Specifically, declarations towards the top of the pyramid inherit and supersede declarations below them. For example, Component declarations inherit from and supersede Definition declarations; Definition declarations inherit and supersede Schema declarations; and Schema declarations inherit and supersede Global declarations.

Diagram of scope inheritance. Top to bottom: Component
Scope, Definition Scope, Schema Scope, and Global Scope.
Customization Syntax
The syntax for the four types of JAXB binding declarations, as well as the syntax for the XML-to-Java data type binding declarations and the customization namespace prefix, are described below.
Global Binding Declarations
Global scope customizations are declared with . The syntax for global scope customizations is as follows:
 [ collectionType = "collectionType" ]
 [ fixedAttributeAsConstantProperty = "true" | "false" | "1" | "0" ]
 [ generateIsSetMethod = "true" | "false" | "1" | "0" ]
 [ enableFailFastCheck = "true" | "false" | "1" | "0" ]
 [ choiceContentProperty = "true" | "false" | "1" | "0" ]
 [ underscoreBinding = "asWordSeparator" | "asCharInWord" ]
 [ typesafeEnumBase = "typesafeEnumBase" ]
 [ typesafeEnumMemberName = "generateName" | "generateError" ]
 [ enableJavaNamingConventions = "true" | "false" | "1" | "0" ]
 [ bindingStyle = "elementBinding" | "modelGroupBinding" ]
 [ ... ]*
 declarations are only valid in the annotation element of the top-level schema element. There can only be a single instance of a declaration in any given schema or binding declarations file. If one source schema includes or imports a second source schema, the declaration must be declared in the first source schema.
Schema Binding Declarations
Schema scope customizations are declared with . The syntax for schema scope customizations is:
 [ package ]
 [ ... ]*
... ]
 [ ]
 [ ]
 [ ]
 [ ]
As shown above, declarations include two subcomponents:
Class Binding Declarations
The binding declaration enables you to customize the binding of a schema element to a Java content interface or a Java Element interface. declarations can be used to customize:
The syntax for customizations is:
 [ ... ]
Property Binding Declarations
The binding declaration enables you to customize the binding of an XML schema element to its Java representation as a property. The scope of customization can either be at the definition level or component level depending upon where the binding declaration is specified.
The syntax for customizations is:
 [ name = "propertyName"]
 [ collectionType = "propertyCollectionType" ]
 [ ... ]
 [ ... ]
 ...
javaType Binding Declarations
The syntax for the customization is:
The declaration can be used in:
Typesafe Enumeration Binding Declarations
The typesafe enumeration declarations provide a localized way to map XML simpleType elements to Java typesafe enum classes. There are two types of typesafe enumeration declarations you can make:
In both cases, there are two primary limitations on this type of customization:
The syntax for the customization is:
 [ name = "enumClassName" ]
 [ ... ]*
 [ enumClassJavadoc ]
The syntax for the customization is:
 [ value = "enumMemberValue" ]
 [ enumMemberJavadoc ]
For inline annotations, the declaration must be specified in the annotation element of the element. The must be specified in the annotation element of the enumeration member. This allows the enumeration member to be customized independently from the enumeration class.
For information about typesafe enum design patterns, see the sample chapter of Joshua Bloch's Effective Java Programming on the Java Developer Connection.
javadoc Binding Declarations
The declaration lets you add custom Javadoc tool annotations to schema-derived JAXB packages, classes, interfaces, methods, and fields. Note that declarations cannot be applied globally; they are only valid as sub-elements of other binding customizations.
The syntax for the customization is:
 Contents in <b>Javadoc<\b> format.
 Contents in Javadoc<\b> format
Note that documentation strings in declarations applied at the package level must contain open and close tags; for example:

Customization Namespace Prefix
All standard JAXB binding declarations must be preceded by a namespace prefix that maps to the JAXB namespace URI (_URL_ For example, in this sample, jxb: is used. To this end, any schema you want to customize with standard JAXB binding declarations must include the JAXB namespace declaration and JAXB version number at the


A site for medical students - Practical,Theory,Osce Notes
What is water-hammer pulse?
Bounding pulse is commonly seen in hyperkinetic circulatory states, here the pulse volume is high due to highpulse pressure with increased blood flow.
What is water-hammer pulse (or high volume collapsing pulse)?
This pulse is characterised by :
 - High pulse volume
 - Sharp rise.
 - Ill-sustained
 - Sharp fall.
High volume pulse gives the water-hammer character when the pulse pressure is at least more than 60 mm of Hg. A collapsing pulse usually occurs when there is rapid run-off of blood from the aorta or the arterial system. Carotid artery is used for detecting collapsing nature of pulse
The striking features of collapsing pulse are:
 - Abrupt upstroke, ill sustained peak and abrupt downstroke and collapsing feel under the palpating hand
 - Thrust produced by the abrupt upstroke of the collapsing pulse will resemble the thrust produced by the tilting of the water hammer toy and the abrupt downstroke of the pulse produces collapsing feel.
How will you demonstrate the water-hammer pulse?
 - First you should palpate the wrist in such a way that your webs fall on the radial artery and rest of the palm lies over the ulnar artery of the patient Now you should e xamine the volume of the pulse for few seconds.
 - Elevate the whole upper limb suddenly above the patients shoulder ( you may give a support in the elbow to prevent its flexion) mean while trv to recognise any changes in the volume of the pulse. In water-hammer pulse, the pulse volume increases from the basal level (i.e. volume at the beginning of the examination) after elevation of patients upper limb.
 - For examination of the pulse in this manner one should stand within the 'angle' formed between the patients body and the said upper extremity. The right sided pulse should be examined by the right hand with the examiner standing on the right side of patient, and vice-versa for the left. You can observe the increase in pulse volume sharp rise and the sharp fall.
Why the name water-hammer pulse is given?
This pulse is so termed after a toy called water-hammer'. This is a peculiar toy with a glass cylinder that is half filled with water and half with vacuum (two ends being closed). If the toy is suddenly placed upside down, the column of water will strike the other end of the cylinder with a blowing sound. This is why this pulse is termed waterhammer pulse where the pulse strikes the fingers like the thud of a hammer.
What is most important the cause of water-hammer pulse?
It is aortic regurgitation
Why this type of pulse is seen in Aortic regurgitation?
Waterhammer pulse is seen in AR due to the following reasons
High systolic pressure occur due to
 - In AR, as the left ventricular stroke volume is high systolic pressure is also high and it is responsible for sharp rise' in the pulse.
The collapsing nature is due to low diastolic pressure which is seen due to
 - Diastolic leak back into the left ventricle from aorta.
 - There is rapid run-off to the periphery as a result of decreased systemic vascular resistance, the barorcceptors in the aortic arch is stimulated by increased cardiac output and result is reflex vasodilatation of the peripheral vessels into which the blood flows rapidly.
Why do you elevate the arm for eliciting the collapsing pulse?
 - Due to the effect of gravity, there is fall of blood column with resulting in vasodilatation and thus, it helps to reduce the diastolic pressure more. Hence the pulse pressure widens,
 - It may be so that while we elevate the limb the artery palpated becomes more in line with that of aorta after elevation of the arm.So it allows direct systolic ejection and diastolic backward flow resulting in collapsing pulse.
What are the other parts to be examined in water hammer pulse?
 - You should count the rate (bradycardia in complete heart block: tachycardia in thyrotoxicosis).
 - See the condition of the vessel wall (for atherosclerosis).
 - See the facies for exophthalmos or examine for tremor to rule out thyrotoxicosis).
 - You should record the surface temperature (pyrexia).
 - Examine for anaemia (severe anaemia).
 - Examine for jaundice to rule out cirrhosis with hepato-cellular failure.
 - Examine the chest for emphysema (chronic cor pulmonale).
 - Always auscultate the aortic and neoaortic area for an earlv diastolic murmur of AR.
 - Search for peripheral signs of AR such as, for capillary pulsation, digital pulsation, carotid dance, pistol shot sound which are associated features of water-hammer pulse.


Q: Should blood tubing be primed with or without normal saline before administration of blood products?
A: Christine Kessler, RN, MN, CNS, ANP, BC-ADM, replies:
Many hospital transfusion protocols and related nursing practices have been based more on tradition and assumptions than on scientific evidence. The saline priming of blood transfusion tubing is one such nursing practice that has long been guided by tradition. The risks and cost related to transfusion therapy have spurred a great deal of scientific inquiry in the past 15 years.
Approximately 15 million blood and blood component transfusions occur annually within the United States, making it a common lifesaving and life-sustaining intervention, especially within intensive care, surgical, and trauma units. Various estimates indicate that between 15% and 45% of patients require transfusions during their intensive care unit (ICU) stay, depending on their length of stay.1,2...

Feeding and Reproduction of Three Didelphid Marsupials in Two Neotropical Forests (French Guiana)
- Didier Julien-Laferriere, Martine Atramentowicz
- Biotropica SCI(E) SCOPUS
- in 1990
- Cited Count
The reproductive patterns of three didelphid marsupial species (Caluromys philander. Didelphis marsupialis and Philander opossum) were studied in secondary and mature forest in French Guiana in relation to food supply and seasonal variation. Both forests exhibited a period of low fruit availability which was longer and more acute in the mature forest. Nevertheless, survival rate of pouch young was higher for C. philander and P. opossum in the mature forest. It was correlated with high nectar availability during the season of fruit scarcity, and with lower population density compared to the secondary forest site. Conversely, D. marsupialis had a more seasonal breeding pattern, with low mortality of pouch young on both sites, and thus appeared less directly dependent on environmental conditions. Annual variations in body weight were compared for the three species on both study areas. Influence of parturition dates, age and body weight of the female upon litter size and pouch young survival is discussed.

App Tracking Transparency on Apple devices
How to respond to tracking requests in iOS, iPadOS and tvOS 14.5 — or opt out of app tracking completely.
What is App Tracking Transparency, and should you allow apps to track your activity in iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS?
So, you've downloaded the latest Candy Ninja: Battle Royale to while away a couple of hours on your iPhone or iPad, but the first thing you see when you open the app is a prompt: "Allow "Candy Ninja" to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?" What exactly does that mean? What's the risk? What are the benefits? And why didn't your friend get that notification on their iPhone?
What is App Tracking Transparency?
Apple is always saying how much it values user privacy and data confidentiality. Within that paradigm, in January 2021, the developers of iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS promised that version 14.5 and later of these systems would support App Tracking Transparency.
For users, that means any app that uses device identifiers for advertising purposes, which Apple calls identifiers for advertisers (IDFA), must clearly explain why it does so and explicitly ask the user's permission. That permission request looks like this:
Tracking requests in iOS 14.5: "Allow App to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?"
Tracking requests in iOS 14.5: "Allow App to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?"
According to Apple, the request should clarify the relationship between app developers and device owners. If a hypothetical flashlight app or social network client collects information about your actions and passes it on to advertisers, allowing them to link it to you, you should not only know, but also be able to opt out.
Opting out does not affect app performance, so there's no downside in rejecting tracking requests. On the other hand, even if tracking is disabled, you'll still see ads; they just won't be personalized.
Responding to app tracking requests in iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS
To stop advertising networks from tracking you through iOS, iPadOS, or tvOS apps, select the Ask App Not to Track option each time you see the prompt.
If for some reason you prefer personalized ads or want to support developers in that way, choose Allow.
Getting rid of app tracking requests altogether
If you don't want to be bothered by tracking requests, you can turn them off completely. That is, opt out of tracking in all apps once and for all. It's easy to do:
 - Go to open Settings;
 - Scroll down to Privacy;
 - Open Tracking;
 - Switch off the Allow Apps to Request to Track toggle.
Why don't I see tracking requests on my Apple devices?
IDFA used to be handled under Apple Advertising -> Personalized Ads, which can still be found in the iOS privacy settings. If you turned off personalized ads at some point, Allow Apps to Request to Track was set to off by default. If you're not seeing tracking requests, that's probably why.
Apple versus targeting
Advertisers lie awake at night worrying about users turning off tracking. Some developers, such as those on Snapchat's team, are already working on ways to get around App Tracking Transparency, which in theory would allow them to keep profiling devices and their owners.
The changes are good for users, who can choose, among other things, whether to share private details and with whom. Another positive sign for consumers: The more platforms fret about data protection, the less likely our digital fingerprints are to fall into the wrong hands (no pun intended).
For non-Apple users who don't like nosy apps, we offer more options for safeguarding your online privacy.


Watch a Pig Decompose Underwater
By Casey Chan on at
Pork is absolutely delicious any which way you cook it, and it seems like sea lice, which are like ocean maggots apparently, would agree too. The sea lice do most of the heavy eating, before shrimp come in to finish the job. It's disturbingly exciting.
Why did scientists throw a dead pig in the ocean? Well, they wanted to get a better idea of how bodies decompose underwater. The experiment, led by forensic scientist Gail Anderson from Simon Fraser University in Canada, shows a pig carcass inside a cage and tracks its entire progress. New Scientist says:
Shrimp come into finish the job but when the scientists retrieved the bones, they were "strangely" jet black for 48 hours. They've never seen that before and are looking at what caused the turn in colour. Watch the video, it ain't pretty. [New Scientist via BoingBoing]

Areas, also know as polygons, allow you to measure area and perimeters, download maps based on areas, and import areas from KML.
Create Areas and Measure Area and Perimeters
1. Tap the Plus Sign icon at the top of the map screen, then "Create Area".
2. An Area template will appear on the screen. Press and drag the dots until you have a custom defined area.
- View acreage and perimeter stats at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap the Layers icon to change the map source
3. Tap Save and give it a name.
4. Select resolution and map sources. If you don't want to download maps, select "None".
Download Maps Based on Areas1. See Download Maps for Track, Route, or Area in iOS
Convert Tracks or Routes to an Area1. Choose a Track or Route from your Saved list. You can define the perimeter of an area by creating a route on gaiagps.com or in the app.
2. Tap the edit icon next to the Track or Route name, then select "Convert to Area".
3. Confirm that you want to convert to an area. This action cannot be undone. If you do not want to change the original data or lose stats, you can duplicate the track / route and create an area with the copy.
4.After you create an area, the new data and associated stats can be found in the Areas Saved list.
Note : If your track/route does not start and end at the same place (creating a closed shape), the process of converting will draw a straight line between those points, enclosing the area as seen above.
Import Areas from KMLImporting Areas using the same process as importing any other piece of data into Gaia GPS. Follow the instructions linked below for your desired method of import:
Import KML files into Gaia GPS
I don't understand the purpose of an area in Giai.
Steph - An area measures acreage and it's also helpful to those using Gaia for Search and Rescue or Wildland Firefighting to define search or work areas.
Since you can download maps for an area - some people also use it primarily for that, because they like defining the area to download instead of using the normal box shape.
You should show how to do it on your website because I followed along and I cannot do it on my Android phone using the directions you provided. Is this feature only available on iphones? If so it would be helpful to clarify that at the beginning.
I'm sorry for the confusion. Areas are not available on Android right now - I've updated the beginning of the article to reflect that.
Is there an estimated time for when areas will be available for Android?
I agree, this would be a much more useful product if it would calculate area on android. Are there any steps being taken to make this available?
I created a long somewhat rectangular area stretching from NW to SE direction and then downloaded the map for the area. However, the system has gone ahead and downloaded a squarish area containing all corners of the rectangular area.
What am I missing, or is it the new behaviour? Based on what your explanation above, this is not how it should have downloaded consuming far more space on my device.
Sorry for the confusion, as it is not possible to download a partial map tile.
The extent of the offline map download beyond the borders of the defined area is based on the size of the tiles and the max zoom level selected.
When will this be on Android and gaiagps.com?
Currently, we are working on an update for the mapping framework used in the Android version of Gaia GPS which will lay the groundwork for adding more features.
Please vote and comment on the feature request for this so you will be notified on its progress:
What really needs to be explained better is how to create an area on the desktop web site and then download to a mobile device. Why on earth would one spend hours pinching and scrolling on an tiny iPhone screen when they can do it SO much more easily on a 27" monitor at home? I find this very confusing. I'm assuming there must be a way to do it, but for the life of me I can't find an article explaining it. All searches lead me to instructions on how to create an offline map using the phone...
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this functionality is only available on an iOS device. As in there is no way to create an Area via the website. This is why there is no documentation on how to create an Area on the website.
Please vote up the topic mentioned above from Nathan which pertains to Android, but like he said could lay the groundwork for more features.
@ricky - yea, thats my assumption as well. It would sure be a lot better to create offline maps on a desktop web site and then sync to a mobile device. This would make Gaia superior to OnxMaps in a significant way if this was possible (Onx has a really bad UI for creating offline maps that is limited to rectangular tiles).
I just saw an update that talks about a new map, vector based, still in alpha (_URL_
This new map has the technological capabilities to incorporate this feature request. When this becomes available however I do not know. Just letting you know that it is coming.
Here is the link to the thread about it. _URL_
@ricky - thanks for the info. Now I can see that there has ben a big technological/architectural hurdle to implementing the ability to create areas and downloadable maps on the web site. But it looks like it is being addressed. This is great news and I'll be following that other topic! Thanks again!
Fingers crossed for website ability. This would be sooo much better on a computer.

Could An R Package Steal My Data
R Programming
As a data analyst who regularly uses R, I've often wondered about the security implications of the packages I incorporate into my work. The rise of R packages has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we handle and analyze data, but could there be a darker side to this convenience? Can an R package actually steal my data?
Understanding R Package Security
When it comes to R packages, security is a paramount concern. The open-source nature of R means that anyone can contribute packages to the comprehensive CRAN repository or other platforms like GitHub. While this accessibility is a boon for innovation, it also introduces the risk of malicious intent.
There have been instances where R packages contained malicious code that could potentially compromise data security. These instances serve as a reminder that we must be vigilant about the packages we use in our projects.
Package Installation Best Practices
One way to mitigate the risk of a rogue R package is to carefully review the package source and the community around it before installation. Always opt for packages from reputable sources such as CRAN or from well-known developers. Additionally, keeping packages updated to their latest versions can help protect against known security vulnerabilities.
Code Review and Analysis
Before incorporating any R package into your workflow, it's important to review the package's code for any suspicious or potentially harmful functions. This extra step may seem tedious, but it can be instrumental in safeguarding your data and maintaining the integrity of your analysis.
Data Handling Best Practices
Regardless of the security measures we take with R packages, it's essential to adopt general best practices for data handling. This includes proper encryption of sensitive data, restricting access to authorized personnel only, and regular security audits to identify potential vulnerabilities.
Conclusion
In my experience, the vast majority of R packages are developed and maintained by trustworthy contributors who have the best interests of the community in mind. However, the potential for a maliciously crafted R package to compromise data security is a genuine concern that can't be ignored. By being discerning in our package selection, performing thorough code reviews, and implementing robust data security practices, we can minimize the risk of data theft through R packages.

CIVIL ENGINEERING 365 ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractFor bridges susceptible to barge collision, design provisions are typically utilized in determining collision scenarios and impact loading. Provisions in the United States require that bridges be designed to withstand two distinct collision events: direct (head-on) and glancing (e.g., oblique side). Head-on impact scenarios are represented using empirically determined static loads, and perpendicular impact loads are applied with magnitudes assumed equal to 50% of head-on impact loads. Subsequent to the formation of these provisions, numerous studies have identified the need to account for dynamic phenomena when designing bridges to resist vessel collision loads. Further, design-oriented computational techniques have been developed to characterize representative vessel–bridge collision scenarios, quantify dynamic barge impact loads, and compute time-varying bridge responses. While previous studies focused on head-on barge–bridge collision, the current study characterizes oblique side barge impact loading and resulting bridge response. Parameters such as barge flotilla configuration, impact angle, and location of impact initiation are investigated across a range of bridge models, leading to the identification of design-relevant oblique side impact scenarios. An alternative to the 50% design approach for oblique side impact scenarios involving the corners of barge bows is then proposed for assessing overall stability. The proposed approach incorporates dynamic phenomena and maintains agreement relative to more detailed analyses.

How to: Add and Remove Items from a ConcurrentDictionary
This example shows how to add, retrieve, update, and remove items from a System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentDictionary<TKey,TValue>. This collection class is a thread-safe implementation. We recommend that you use it whenever multiple threads might be attempting to access the elements concurrently.
ConcurrentDictionary<TKey,TValue> provides several convenience methods that make it unnecessary for code to first check whether a key exists before it attempts to add or remove data. The following table lists these convenience methods and describes when to use them.
Method Use when…
AddOrUpdate You want to add a new value for a specified key and, if the key already exists, you want to replace its value.
GetOrAdd You want to retrieve the existing value for a specified key and, if the key does not exist, you want to specify a key/value pair.
TryAdd, TryGetValue , TryUpdate , TryRemove You want to add, get, update, or remove a key/value pair, and, if the key already exists or the attempt fails for any other reason, you want to take some alternative action.
Example
The following example uses two Task instances to add some elements to a ConcurrentDictionary<TKey,TValue> concurrently, and then outputs all of the contents to show that the elements were added successfully. The example also shows how to use the AddOrUpdate, TryGetValue, and GetOrAdd methods to add, update, and retrieve items from the collection.

SET ACCOUNTING
Controls the current accounting file.
Requires OPER (operator) privilege.
Format
SET ACCOUNTING
Parameters
None.
Description
Each node on your system has its own current accounting file. You can control what resources this file tracks, and start up a new version of this file using the SET ACCOUNTING command.
There are two occasions when the resources used by a process are not tracked, despite the SET ACCOUNTING command:
 - When you use the RUN (Process) command with the /NOACCOUNTING qualifier.
 - When you use the $CREPRC system service with the PRC$M_NOACNT status flag.
Similarly, there is one occasion when the resources used by an image are always tracked, despite the SET ACCOUNTING command:
 - When you install an image using the /ACCOUNTING qualifier of the Install utility.
For more information on how to use the SET ACCOUNTING command, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
Qualifiers
/DISABLE[=(keyword[,...])]
Prevents the tracking of the resources specified by the keywords.
Table DCLII-16 lists the keywords you can use to specify the type of resource.
Table DCLII-16 SET ACCOUNTING Keywords for Resource Types
Keyword Type of Resource
IMAGE Resources used by an image
LOGIN_FAILURE Resources used by an unsuccessful attempt to log in
MESSAGE Unformatted record written to the accounting file by a call to the $SNDJBC system service
PRINT Resources used by a print job
PROCESS Resources used by a process
You do not need to stop the tracking of all processes and images. You can prevent resources being tracked for specific types of process and for images running in these types of process.
Table DCLII-17 lists the keywords you can use to specify the type of process.
Table DCLII-17 SET ACCOUNTING Keywords for Process Types
Keyword Type of Process
BATCH Batch process
DETACHED Detached process
INTERACTIVE Interactive process
NETWORK Network process
SUBPROCESS Subprocess (the parent process can be a batch, detached, network, or interactive process)
If the system is no longer tracking any resources, /DISABLE closes the current accounting file.
If you use the /DISABLE qualifier and omit the keywords, the current accounting file does not track any resources, and the system closes the file.
/ENABLE[=(keyword[,...])]
Enables the tracking of the specified resources, and opens the current accounting file if it is not already open. The /ENABLE qualifier uses the same keywords as the /DISABLE qualifier.
Use the keywords shown in Table DCLII-16 to specify the types of resource that you want the local node to track in its current accounting file.
If the resources used by processes or images are being tracked, you can use the keywords shown in Table DCLII-17 to enable the tracking of these resources for specified types of process and for images running in those types of process.
If you use the /ENABLE qualifier and omit the keywords, the current accounting file tracks all resources.
/LOG
Writes information to the current SYS$OUTPUT device as the command executes.
/NEW_FILE
Closes the current accounting file, and starts up a new version of it.
The name of the new file depends on whether the logical name ACCOUNTNG is defined in your system logical name table.
If this logical name is not defined, the SET ACCOUNTING command opens the file SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT.
If this logical name is defined, the command opens the file that this logical name points to. If you omit the directory, SYS$MANAGER is the default, and if you omit the file type, .DAT is the default.
The /NEW_FILE qualifier writes a record to the end of the old file that contains a forward pointer to the new file, and a record to the beginning of the new file that contains a backward pointer to the old file. These records contain the names of the new and old files respectively.
Examples
#1
$ SET ACCOUNTING /DISABLE /ENABLE=(PROCESS,BATCH,INTERACTIVE)
$ SET ACCOUNTING /ENABLE=IMAGE

This example tells the system to track the resources used only by batch and interactive processes, and by images running in batch and interactive processes. It illustrates the cumulative effect of /ENABLE and /DISABLE qualifiers, and of SET ACCOUNTING commands.
The /DISABLE qualifier prevents the tracking of all resources. The /ENABLE qualifier then tells the system to track the resources used by batch and interactive processes. The second SET ACCOUNTING command tells the system to track the resources used by images.
#2
$ SET ACCOUNTING /NEW_FILE
$ RENAME SYS$MANAGER:ACCOUNTNG.DAT;-1 WEEK_24_RESOURCES.DAT

This example closes the current accounting file, opens a new version of it, and changes the name of the old file to WEEK_24_RESOURCES.DAT.

Metrotown is an elevated station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located in the Metrotown area of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It is the fifth-busiest station in the SkyTrain system. The station is located between Central Boulevard and Beresford Street, east of Willingdon Avenue.
Metrotown station was built in 1985 as part of the original SkyTrain system, on what is now known as the Expo Line. The overhead walkway that led to Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre was added to the station in 1989. Originally, the bus loop was open-air and connected to the station via an at-grade street crossing.
The station was originally designed as a suburban station serving residential neighbourhoods and local transit connections. It experienced a major traffic increase due to the opening of nearby shopping centres and the redevelopment of the neighbourhood, leading to passenger loads and circulation surpassing the design capacity of the original station.
In 2007, TransLink established plans for a major retrofit and redesign of the station to improve passenger flow and increase station capacity. Construction began in February 2015, with an estimated cost of $55.5 million.
On November 15, 2016, TransLink closed the pedestrian overpass that connected the station to the Metropolis shopping centre. The closure was a result of preparation work required in rebuilding the east stationhouse. No timeline was provided for when a replacement overpass would open. The closure has led to criticism and extra travel time for many passengers.
The centre stationhouse opened to the public on March 24, 2017, and features new stairs and elevators. On July 24, 2017, the west stationhouse opened, featuring four escalators.
The rebuilt east stationhouse opened on March 19, 2018, and—like the west stationhouse—it also features four escalators. Upon completion of the third phase, the station has a total of eight escalators, three elevators as well as stairs to and from platform level.

Revisiting the Theme of Long Slumber in Washington Irving' Rip Van Winkle and the Tale of the Seven Sleepers: A Comparative Study
Abdullah K. Shehabat, Hussein H. Al Zedanin
This study provides across-cultural comparisonof the theme of long slumber in Asian and European tales. An analytical approach is adopted to reveal secrets and demystify ambiguities that encompass both canonical tales: The Seven Sleepers and Rip Van Winkle. That is, we hope to figure out how these tales correlate, interact and reflect on one another by focusing on the three major periods: the Pre-slumber period, the slumber period, and the post-slumber period. We found that the canonical tales in question, despite the theological and historical differences, (co)respond to one another and reveal further secrets and ambiguities. An interesting example elucidated how Irving didn‟t hint at the conditions that had encompassed his protagonist, Rip, during his slumber. However, based on our analysis of The Seven Sleepers tale, we inferred that Rip‟s body was miraculously protected to make him a mediator and/or a witness for the two periods. In short, long slumber was employed in both tales to convey morals like rebirth and change.

- MKF 240 Climate Testing Chamber from BINDER Used to Test the Latest Adhesive Technology
Product News: MKF 240 Climate Testing Chamber from BINDER Used to Test the Latest Adhesive TechnologyCollano Adhesives develops and distributes specialty adhesives for use in construction, labels, tapes, packaging, protective adhesive systems, textiles and foams. In application technology, countless tests are performed on adhesive bonds to increase the quality, productivity and safety of the adhesives. Customer-specific adhesive bonds are tested both on original materials, standard testing with standardized materials, as well as the behavior of adhesives under various environmental conditions. The BINDER climate chamber has the responsibility of testing the setting behavior of the adhesive under different climate conditions. In particular, the adhesive bonds are stored at high temperatures or climate change testing is performed.
The tests are carried out according to different requirements. However, most are based on a standard, where others try to simulate reality as close as possible. The employees of Collano Adhesives AG appreciate that the MKF 240 climate chamber from BINDER can store the individual test programs, making recurring climate change testing easy to carry out without additional time required for programming. Accurate testing of aluminum cover plates for the transport industry
To demonstrate the suitability of the sample bonding of aluminum comb with aluminum cover plates for a sandwich element, the cover plates are subject to a so-called climbing drum peel test according to DIN 53295 / ASTM D 1781-98 (2004). This test is used to simulate different storage conditions, e.g. at ambient temperature, but also storage over weeks and months for specified climate changes. Temperatures vary from sub-zero temperatures of -40 °C to over 100 °C up to max. 180 °C. In addition, the relative humidity is also varied. The test program simulates the possible climatic characteristics from warm and humid conditions to hot and dry or ice cold. Consistent conditions ensure consistent test results
However, the range of application is quite varied. Among other things, the adhesive bonds of the chip modules for smart cards are tested under the different climate conditions. In addition, expansion joints, insulation bonds and bonds to building materials of various types such as wood, stone, metal, etc. are tested. All adhesives are exposed to a specific environmental situation and their behavior precisely tested. To ensure comparable, verifiable test results, the test must be carried out under comparable conditions. The BINDER MKF 240 meets these requirements and Collano employee Thomas Frey also notes "that the climate chamber quickly produces and consistently maintains the specific climate." User-friendly programming via PC
Among other things, the advantage of BINDER climate chambers lies in their flexible programming. The user has the option of inputting the program into the unit directly or conveniently from a PC. This allows temperature and humidity to be controlled simultaneously or independently as required and allows several cycles to be programmed if necessary. In addition, Collano employees note that it is possible to set tolerance limits to achieve high accuracy, reproducibility and consistency. And the access port on the side of the chamber and the viewing window on the unit with interior lighting ensure optimal test setup that can be controlled and observed at all times.
The BINDER climate chamber is used at Collano around the clock, be it for internal or external projects. The company especially appreciates the versatility of the MKF climate testing chambers from BINDER.

Discursis: A Computational Methodology for the Analysis of Communication Data
Discursis is a new communication analytic technology that allows an analyst to visually examine and assess text based communication data. Discursis can be used to analyse conversations, web forums, social media, training scenarios, and many other individual and multi-party communication situations. Discursis automatically processes transcribed text to build a statistically grounded language model, and uses this language model to highlight participant interactions around specific topics over the time-course of the communication. Discursis can assist analysts in understanding the structure, information content, and inter-speaker relationships that are present within input data. In addition to rich descriptive visual outputs, Discursis also provides quantitative measures of key metrics, such as topic introduction; topic consistency; and topic novelty. In this talk I will showcase recent findings from the application of Discursis to a variety of datasets, including doctor/patient consultations, television broadcast interviews, audience panel discussion programs, and conversations with persons with language impairments.

A: If you use Windows event forwarding and collection, you might run into processing problems when many events are forwarded from a large set of event source computers on a regular basis. For example, you can encounter this problem when you configure event collection and forwarding for all security events that are generated on all domain controllers (DCs) in your Active Directory (AD) forest. You can limit the event collection and forwarding processing impact with two configuration tweaks: turning off the pre-rendering of events on event source computers and setting the maximum number of events that can be sent from an event source computer per second.
The task of pre-rendering events on the event source computer can be very processor-intensive when dealing with a large number of events. You can turn off pre-rendering on the level of each individual subscription defined on a collector machine. To turn off pre-rendering, type the following Windows Event Collector Utility (wecutil.exe) command on the event collector machine:
wecutil ss /cf:events
The /cf: switch in the command changes the ContentFormat from "renderedtext" to "events" for the subscription named . To view all subscriptions defined on an event collector, you can use
wecutil es
To control the maximum number of events that are sent per second to the event collector by the source computers, you can use the following Group Policy Object (GPO) setting: Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Event Forwarding/ForwardResourceUsage. This setting can be applied only to Windows Vista and later computers and affects all subscriptions that are linked to the forwarder on the event source computer.

Artists Jennifer Caine and Rachel Hellmann debuted their collaborative piece "Continuum" on Monday, Feb. 21 in the University of Indianapolis Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Gallery. "Continuum" is on display from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays until March 18.
According to Caine, "Continuum" is the fourth collaborative piece between Hellmann and herself and was made specifically for the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Gallery. It is a three-dimensional sculpture piece made of open wooden cube frames covered in black paper.
The gallery's main purpose, in addition to bringing art to campus, is to serve as a teaching gallery. That element is important to Chair and Associate Professor of Art and Design Jim Viewegh.
"We choose artists and exhibitions that somehow teach our students about the art world, or different artists in that," Viewegh said.
According to Viewegh, "Continuum" can teach students how to work collaboratively.
"They had to communicate with each other. They had to compromise with each other. They had to understand each other's aesthetics," he said.
"Continuum" was inspired by the reactions of younger visitors to a previous collaborative piece by Caine and Hellmann displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Mass., Hellman said.
"We were particularly intrigued by the younger, school-age kids that came through the exhibit," she said. "It made us want to create a piece that was particularly playful and encouraging of an inquisitive response of wonder and play."
The artists used common materials — in addition to their knowledge of color, light, and surface—to transform the gallery into an immersive, imaginative environment. Freshman pre-art therapy and psychology major Reagan Moorman seized the opportunity for imagination and immersion.
"From a conceptual standpoint, it ['Continuum'] is really cool, because the blocks are supposed to symbolize building blocks for children, how they stack and make things bigger," Moorman said. "I like to imagine a small child playing with them."
Work on "Continuum" began in November of 2015, when Caine flew to Indianapolis from her home in New Hampshire. After spending a day in the gallery brainstorming and talking through ideas, Caine and Hellmann decided to create a piece that took advantage of the gallery's space.
"I love the scale of the piece, enabled by the very high ceilings of the gallery," she said. "I also love the opportunity it provided us to approach it like a three-dimensional painting in space and to find painterly moments of surprise."
The next step was to decide on the subject-matter of the piece.
"We conceived the idea of stacking cubes, and both agreed on the color black — a rich color in its own right, though often considered a 'non-color,' and an opportunity to play off the warm wood tones and light in the gallery," Caine said.
Caine and Hellmann worked on elements of "Continuum" individually in their own studios and then returned to UIndy the week before the exhibition opened to assemble it. During those days, UIndy students were able to interact with Caine and Hellman and help them finish the piece.
"I found it particularly engaging during the last couple of work days that we had in the gallery. It was challenging to think of how the color and mark-making related from multiple views of the piece," Hellmann said.
Both Hellmann and Caine hope that those who view "Continuum" find the experience as rewarding as it was to make it.
"I hope people enjoy experiencing the piece and will find walking through the gallery an immersive, playful experience that will spark their natural curiosity and sense of wonder," Caine said.
Those who want to see more art can visit the Student Gallery in Schwitzer 011. The next exhibition in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Gallery is the annual Student Art Exhibition, which will open on April 4.

You can call the REST API notifications.getList - _URL_
You do not need any permissions beyond the basic.
This will return data including, object_id and object_type.
If object_type is "stream" you can query the stream table with the post_id field set to the object_id from the notifications.getList query. You can get the comments from the stream table.
Example snippet of notifications.getList response:
Your follow-on query:
SELECT comments FROM stream WHERE post_id='12345678_1001251985851'

Adobe InDesign: Removing Unwanted Spaces, Fast!
By Barb Binder, Adobe Certified Instructor on InDesign
Updated April 22, 2016
Too many extra spaces in your InDesign documents? No problem. You can quickly and (painlessly) remove extra spaces by running one or more Find/Change queries. The three I am going to show you are using GREP, which uses patterns instead of actual character strings to locate and fix issues in InDesign documents.
 1. Place all your files into the InDesign document. (I place stories on the Pasteboard when I'm not ready to place them on the actual pages.)
 2. Choose Type > Show Hidden Characters so that you can see the non-printing characters.
 Adobe InDesign: Example of extra spacing.
 3. Chose Edit > Find/Change.
 4. Drop down the Query list on the top line and run each of these queries with the Search parameter set to Document (to search all the stories in the InDesign document):
 1. Multiple Space to Single Space. Instead of running a series of searches to weed out all extra spaces, just pick this one preset. The Find What line looks a little scary, so just don't look too closely. If you simply can't look away, understand that it's a string of GREP characters that looks for two or more spaces (i.e., em spaces, en spaces, flush spaces, hairspaces, etc.) and replaces all of those with one spacebar space. Hit Change All and poof! All extra spaces are gone.

 2. Multiple Returns to Single Return. Another preset, this one pulls out all two or more hard returns and replaces with one.

 3. Remove Trailing Whitespace. Trailing whitespace refers to one or more spaces, tabs or extra returns at the end of a paragraph, between the final punctuation and the hard return(s). When it's just a single space, most of the time they don't cause any problems, but sometimes they won't fit on the same line as the punctuation and they force a new line or even a new page. For long documents, this can be a real nightmare. This query also picks up the double returns and even multiple spaces (but only when the spaces are at the end of a paragraph) so I tend to run this one first.

 1. Hello,
 To complete this interesting post, we can remove unwanted spaces between double characteres as parenthesis, braces, brackets, etc. with a lookbehind and a lookahead :
 In this example, the lookbehind (?<=) looks, in a character class [ ], for an open parenthesis or an open bracket or an open brace followed by one or more spaces. The lookahead (?=) looks for closes characteres preceded by one or more spaces.
 2. Hi Mrolfer: the GREP strings in all three examples are shown as screen shots under the instructions. If you can't see them for some reason, you can access all three by opening up the Find/change dialog box in InDesign CS3 or CS4. ~Barb
 3. WOW, what a relief to find such a piece of information while you ere desperately looking for it!
 Thanks Barb
 4. Is it possible to find all "tabs" and replace with no space? Actually more specifically, I have two tabs in each line of text. The first tab I would like to replace with no space. The second tab I would like to replace with one space.
 I really appreciate anyone's incredible knowledge if you have a solution for this as my document has 10751 tabs. 😮
 1. Hi Donetta:
 How about searching for two consecutive tabs, and replacing with a single space? Here's how to set it up in InDesign:
 Find what: ^t^t
 Change to: (press the spacebar once)
 5. Love this really, really helpful thanks so much!
 I have a question though. Almost ever time I receive a manuscript from a client, they seem to have manually indented their paragraphs by adding a couple of spaces at the beginning of each one. Is there any quick and simple way to remove these? That way I can use paragraph styles for proper and consistent indentation.
 1. Excellent point, Antony. InDesign has a query for removing trailing whitespace, but not leading whitespace.
 There are several ways to do this. Here are two easy ones:
 After you run the "Multiple Space to Single Space" query, create one additional text query:
 Find what: ^p(press the spacebar once)
 Change to: ^p
 This will find the one remaining space at the beginning of a paragraph, and will replace it with a hard return.
 Or, you can just create a GREP query:
 Find what: $s+
 Change to: r
 In either case, save the query as "Remove Leading Whitespace" so that you can just run it in the future.
 6. I have been in despair with customer's word documents. Instructions on hard returns and soft returns met with blank incomprehension and still I receive files that almost bring me to tears. Line after line of deleting spaces – on and on.
 Your grep instruction has been such a godsend to me, I don't know how I found myself on your site, but if you ever brought out a grep app I would pay good money for it. Thank you so much. I can now say "bring it on…bring on your awful word docs"
 BTW have you got any instructions for removing the spaces in lines, when the customer doesn't know how to tab, so does space-space-space-space?
 1. Hi Elizabeth:
 If the typists are randomly adding the extra spaces mid-paragraph, use the Multiple Space to Single Space GREP query. If they are using spaces between columns that should be tabbed, then search for multiple spaces, and replace with a tab. Cycle back and replace multiple tabs with a single tab. But that's going to require that you look at each table closely as you update, as the chances for problems are much greater than within paragraphs. Here's a spot where I'd step in and try to help them prepare the tables correctly before turning them over to me. Good luck!
 1. Hello,
 I have one problem in indesign paragraph related. When i add new formatting like bold/color in some words, it add leading some blank characters. so extra spaces add in new bold/ color words. How can i remove it.
 Thanks in advance.
 7. thanks SO much. your directions were clear and easy to follow AND you saved me a TON of time!
 8. I have been formatting a 400+ page book that I have written and I am sending it to the printer next week. I have struggled with a number of these issues as I originally wrote the book in Word. I ran the Remove Trailing Whitespace GREP and after I did it, InDesign would no longer output to PDF. It turns out that something corrupted one of my tables when I ran the GREP and clicked change all. I began to output the document several pages at a time and located two offending pages. I was able to rebuild the tables and everything is great now.
 I just did the Remove Leading Whitespace and Parenthetical White Space and did the changes manually and it worked awesome!
 I finished writing the book in April and it has taken me until November to get it all edited and formatted and create the images and cover. I never dreamed that this part of the process would be so time intensive!!!
 I am a dentist and a part time writer and I have come to realize that you professional folks are worth your weight in gold!
 Thanks so much for taking the time to share these tidbits, they are a Godsend!!
 9. I design books and often the authors put a tab at the beginning of their paragraphs. I need to removed them using GREP but don't remember how. Can you help?
 1. You don't need GREP for that. Just do a regular text Find/Change:
 Find: ^p^t
 Change: ^p
 This tells InDesign to search for any tab character following a ¶, remove the tab and leave the ¶.
 1. Hi Cade:
 Choose Edit > Find/Change
 Choose the GREP tab at the top of the dialog box
 Find: ^\s
 Change: [leave blank]
 10. Thanks, been thinking I needed to create a GREP for this but clearly this was there the whole time. Saves from doing the old-fashioned find and replace.
 11. Life saver, I tell my copy guy not to double space anymore your not using a typewriter. But old habits are hard to break. Thank you so much this is so awesome.

Hello, good afternoon. Im using @elapsed to mesure time function and got some flutuation in sequence data. Is this peaks in plot gargabe collection noise?
Good evening! It might be gc as you say. Consider using BenchmarkTools.jl for accurate benchmarking. E.g., using
Im testing here but it is taking a lot of time. Seems @belapsed cant run with more than 1000 iterations.
The functions with constant time was done, but seems more strange than using @elapsed
You can control the number of evaluations BenchmarkTools.jl is using. The timing that is less than one nanosecond means that the compiler outsmarted the benchmark and performed the entire calculation at compile time. This is indicated on the first page of the docs Home · BenchmarkTools.jl
As a rule of thumb, if a benchmark reports that it took less than a nanosecond to perform, this hoisting probably occured. You can avoid this by referencing and dereferencing the interpolated variables
@btime already run your code more than once to collect statistics from various runs. There's no need to invoke them in a loop.
But how to plot a performance curve with only one value collected?
Have you checked out the documentation of BenchmarkTools.jl? You can use
@benchmark to get an object containing the collected statistics.

"Stop using the internet!"

February 26, 2019
But then I can't lern Bahasa Indonesian.
Differences between menggunakan and memakai?
Generally the same, except you can use /memakai/ for wearing clothing also.
As it is an order, would it be wrong to use -kan? For example, 'hentikan'?
That would have a different meaning. Using /hentikan/ would be including the causative/benefactive suffix /-kan/ on the end of the root, so it would sound as though you were telling the hearer to cause someone or something else to stop using the internet. If it's the hearer who is using the internet (whom you would want to stop by saying this), then, no, you wouldn't use /-kan/.
However, you might using /hentilah/ instead for the purpose of more strongly emphasizing the verb as a command.

The Modern Maximum refers to the period of relatively high solar activity which began with Solar Cycle 15 in 1914. It reached a maximum in Cycle 19 during the late 1950s and may have ended with the peak of Cycle 23 in 2000, as Cycle 24 is recording, at best, very muted solar activity. Another proposed end date for the maximum is 2007, with the decline phase of Cycle 23. In any case, the low solar activity of Cycle 24 in the 2010s marked a new period of reduced solar activity.
This maximum period is a natural example of solar variation, and one of many that are known from proxy records of past solar variability. The Modern Maximum reached a double peak once in the 1950s and again during the 1990s.


Today's Wonder of the Day was inspired by Riley. Riley Wonders, "How Did Tap Dancing Start?" Thanks for WONDERing with us, Riley!
What do you get when you combine fun music, fast feet, and a good sense of rhythm? The clickety-clack and tappity-tap of tap dancing, that's what!
Tap dancing mixes two beautiful arts—dancing and making music—into one act. How can you tell if someone is tap dancing? Just listen for the tapping sounds created by metal plates on the bottom of a dancer's shoes.
When they're tapped against a solid surface, such as a wooden floor, the plates create a unique sound. As tap dancers move across the floor, they make music while they dance!
Many companies make special tap shoes that have tap plates attached to the bottom of the shoes with screws. Since each shoe has a tap plate near the toe and one on the heel, they are sometimes called "two shoes and four taps." The screws that attach the taps to the shoes can be tightened or loosened. This changes the sounds they make.
Sometimes, people make their own tap shoes. They tape quarters or (with the help of an adult) screw metal plates to the bottom of a pair of shoes. It's also possible to tap dance in shoes that have a hard, solid sole. However, the sounds such shoes make is not the same as true tap shoes.
Where did tap dancing come from? We can trace its roots to Africa and the English Isles. When people were kidnapped from Africa and brought to America to be enslaved, they brought their music and dancing traditions with them.
When enslavers denied them drums and other percussion instruments, enslaved people got creative. They made music with their feet through percussive dancing. Over time, this practice blended with Irish clogging. The product was the tap dancing we know today.
Tap dancers often improvise. That means they make up their moves and beats as they go along. They also rely heavily on syncopation. That means they use an irregular rhythm to place stresses or accents where they usually wouldn't occur.
Would you believe you can even tap dance without music? Just like singing without music, tap dancing can be "a cappella." Instead of dancing to music, tap dancers instead make their own rhythms using a variety of special steps.
Tap dancing was quite popular in America in the early 1900s. It was common in Vaudeville shows and on Broadway. It was also a large part of the Harlem Renaissance. Many tap dancers even appeared in movies and eventually television.
You may recognize the names of some famous tap dancers. Have you ever heard of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson? How about Josephine Baker or Rita Hayworth? These were all well-known tap dancers. A few more big names in tap dancing are Shirley Temple, Fred Astaire, and Ginger Rogers.
With the birth of rock-and-roll, tap dance dropped in popularity. A new form of dance—jazz dance—eventually grew out of tap dance. Although they were similar in the past, tap dance and jazz dance are considered separate forms of dance today.
Traditional tap dance is once again starting to become popular. Modern tap dancers include Gregory Hines and Savion Glover. In fact, Savion Glover recently helped to bring tap dancing back into the mainstream. He choreographed and danced for the movie Happy Feet, which told the story of a tap dancing penguin.
Do you know how to tap dance? Or would you be interested in learning? Tap dancing is an art form that many people enjoy. They say there's nothing like making and dancing to your own music at the same time!

The fourth day after new moon and fourth day after full moon in the Hindu calendar is observed as Chaturthi and is dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Most people must be aware of only the Ganesh Chaturti festival that takes place in the month of Bhadrapada (August-September). But there are two Chaturthis in a month – Sankashti and Vinayaki – and staunch Ganesha devotees observe a fast on the Chaturthi after full moon.
The monthly Chaturti day which falls after full moon in which a fast (fasting) is observed is known as Sankashti Chaturthi. The fast ends on the day after moonrise. Special Ganesh pujas are done in the evening.
The monthly Chaturthi after Amavasi or new moon is known as Vinayaki Chaturthi.
When Sankashti Chaturthi falls on Tuesday, it is known as Angaraki Chatutrhi and it is considered highly auspicious.
The benefits of Chaturthi fasting include material progress, happiness and fulfillment of desires. The importance of Chaturthi vrat was explained by Lord Krishna to Yudhishtira, the eldest of the Pandavas. It is also mentioned in the Narasimha Purana and Bhavishaya Purana.

PARAMUS, N.J – Bergen Community College has secured a $250,000 state grant to renew its main campus tree population decimated by a changing climate, disease and invasive insects. The College secured the grant through the "Trees for Schools" program administered through the Sustainability Institute at the College of the New Jersey and funded by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
The program made $2.5 million in grants available to public school districts, colleges and universities this year.
"Unfortunately, environmental factors have impacted the natural beauty, buffers and ecological benefits provided by a substantial tree landscape," Bergen President Eric M. Friedman, Ph.D., said. "Symbolic of sustainability and renewal, the Trees for Schools grant will allow the College to develop a more resilient tree population that will benefit the campus community for generations."
As part of the initiative, Bergen will plant 125 new trees to create a natural perimeter buffer "climax forest," or collection of trees that can withstand local environmental stressors. Bergen will remove dozens of green ash and plum trees originally planted in the 1980s that have fallen prey to the emerald ash borer insect and black knot fungus.
Another contributing factor, the warming climate, has moved the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map 65 miles north since the planting of Bergen's ash and plum trees in the 1980s. Due to this warming, the Paramus planting environment can no longer support many of the tree species planted 40 years ago. Agricultural experts expect the new, more resilient species of trees scheduled for planting at the Paramus campus to flourish with proper care and maintenance.
The grant outline, which runs through July 2026, calls for a spring 2024 planting of the new trees. The initiative also contains an experiential learning component, which will see biology and horticulture students participate in all phases of the tree removal, planting and maintenance.
The College has tapped a number of experts from various disciplines to assist in the project including horticulture program coordinator Steve Fischer, Ph.D., who will integrate outside partners such as the New Jersey Landscape Contractors Association. Fischer serves as an adviser to the organization's board of directors. Retired Bergen employee and longtime environmental steward Hugh Knowlton will also assist.
The grant reinforces Bergen's commitment to participating in sustainability initiatives that promote health and wellness as part of its campus environment. These ideas appear throughout President Friedman's goals and the institution's recently revised mission, vision and values statements. The Commerce and Industry Association of New Jersey and Commerce Magazine recently recognized Bergen's sustainability efforts with an award for environmental stewardship, while the federal government awarded the institution a $4.5 million grant to create pathways to education and employment in agricultural fields.
Based in Paramus, Bergen Community College (_URL_), a public two-year coeducational college, enrolls more than 13,000 students at locations in Paramus, the Philip Ciarco Jr. Learning Center in Hackensack and Bergen Community College at the Meadowlands in Lyndhurst. The College offers associate degree, certificate and continuing education programs in a variety of fields. More students graduate from Bergen than any other community college in the state.

Cleft lip is a fissure causing a gap in the top lip and findings of a new study in American Journal of Epidemiology reveal drinking coffee during pregnancy slightly ups the risk of cleft lip or harelip. Experts compared data on 573 women who had babies with cleft lip and 763 women whose kids did not. Women drinking a daily cup of coffee during the first 3 months of pregnancy were 1.39 times more likely to have a baby with harelip and the likelihood increased to 1.59 for women who drank 3 or more cups of coffee a day; Reuters reports.
Sometimes I have a cup of coffee. Luckily I can't get pregnant. Coffee, i.e. caffeine, isn't healthy. Drinking coffee has been shown to double arthritis risk, raise blood pressure and disturb heart function. Caffeine is a toxin, which can cause headaches, anxiety and detox symptoms similar to coming off drugs.
Recently, a study showed women drinking more than 3 cups of coffee a day had 17% smaller breasts. Oh, and instant coffee can make you hallucinate. Far out man.

Estimating Peak Flow Reduction in Small Reservoirsby Dennis R. Horn, Univ of Idaho, Dep of Civil, Engineering, Moscow, ID, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Abstract: A microcomputer program is used to provide a simple and rapid estimate of the peak outflow from such reservoirs. Peak flow values, determined by flood frequency analysis or regional flood formula, are used along with pertinent watershed characteristics to develop a direct runoff hydrograph, based on an explicit mathematical representation of the Soil Conservation Service dimensionless unit hydrograph. Reservoir storage is expressed as an exponential function of outflow, resulting in a non-linear differential routing equation, which is solved implicitly using Newton's method.

Run-time event APIs use the performance counters in the AI Engine-PL interface tiles and the AI Engine-NoC interface tiles. There are two performance counters in each column of the interface tiles. This section lists the number of performance counter - used by each run-time event API. If the total number of performance counters used exceeds the availability of performance counters in a column of the interface tile, the API that cannot acquire the performance counter fails with the following error message in AI Engine simulator.
[AIE WARNING]: Unable to request resources. RscType: 0
ERROR: event::start_profiling: Failed to request performance counter resources.
For hardware emulation or hardware flows, the following error message is used.

The Indigenous University of Venezuela (UIV) is well known for its cultural diversity, bringing together students from many indigenous communities across the country. During mealtimes or when walking together between classes, one might hear the students speaking one of the numerous native languages represented at the UIV.
Preservation of language and culture remains an important pillar for the UIV, and an example of this can be seen on its website [es]. The school's mission statement is available in the Huottöja, Pumé, Ye'kwana, Shiriana, and E'ñepa languages. Here is the translation in the E'ñepa language, also known as Panare:
A university that raises awareness and educates young indigenous students so that they can serve their communities. We preserve and strengthen indigenous peoples and we put forth intercultural and experimental higher education
During the digital photography workshop held on the campus with three students from the edu-communications department, the students also learned some basics in the use of the free and open-source program Audacity to record audio podcasts and upload them to the web. To demonstrate, we recorded the students giving a brief greeting in their native language and the Spanish-language translation. These are the three audio recordings uploaded to Rising Voices' Soundcloud account.
