Difference Between Small and Large Intestine
Some people are simply unaware of how the two intestines function inside a human body. There is a wrong perception that they are similar, when it comes to functionality, as there is a clear difference between both of them. Moreover, there are a few people, who believe that there is only one intestine inside a human body, which is also not correct.
A very basic difference between the two intestines is that they don't have similar size. The one on the right side is smaller. It is important to note that the size is calculated in terms of diameter. Since the left intestine is quite wide, it is known to be the larger one.
Interestingly, when you calculate the length of the two intestines, you will be amazed to notice that the small intestine is more than 20 feet long in adults. You might think that it is impossible to fit something this large inside a human body, but the narrow tubes of the small intestine are adjusted perfectly below the stomach. On the other hand, the large intestine is not quite big, when it comes to length. It is about five feet long.
The colour of both intestines is also different from one another. The small intestine is greyish-purple whereas the other one is reddish.
The elongated small intestine aids in passage of food, which comes directly from your stomach. On the other hand, the large intestine is the place, where the stool accumulates. All the digested food and nutrients consumed in our body come in the small intestine, whereas the large intestine contains fluids and the undigested stuff, which is not good for the body.
Once the body consumes all the nutrients provided by the small intestine, the remains are moved to the large intestine, where they are stored as waste matter. Other than that, the large intestine generates vitamins K and B and helps in absorption of iron and salts inside the human body.

 Small intestine
 When you consume food, it enters the digestive system first and then enters the small intestine, where is goes through various other processes, so that the nutrients from food are properly absorbed by the body.

 Large intestine
 The large intestine has got nothing to do with the decomposition of food inside a human body. It mainly helps in eliminating waste from the human body, but also breaks down some quantity of protein, which is not properly digested.

The main thing for a real writer and his readers is texts. A biography is a less significant thing. Most readers of Don Quixote do not know the biography of Cervantes and do not particularly need it. But sometimes the biography of a writer can become an explanation for the incident of a genius who turned out to be unnecessary or unidentified, unrecognized. This is precisely the case of Friedrich Gorenstein, the author of Andrey Rublev's monologues in Tarkovsky's film and the screenwriter of his own "Solaris", the author of the dialogues in Konchalovsky's film "The First Teacher" and co-author with him of the script for the film "Slave of Love". Andrei Tarkovsky and Benedikt Sarnov, Naum Korzhavin and Vyacheslav Ivanov have called and continue to call his books brilliant. Gorenstein has lived in Berlin for the last 20 years. Benedikt Sarnov, Andrey Konchalovsky, Mark Rozovsky, Leonid Kheifets, Vladimir Voinovich, Andrey Bitov, Boris Khazanov, Mikhail Levitin, Natalya Ivanova, Viktor Erofeev, Evgeny Popov and others remember and talk about Gorenstein on the screen. The film also includes archival video recordings of interviews with Gorenstein.

Indian Railways is building the country's longest rail tunnel connecting Imphal with Guwahati. The new rail line route from Jiribam to Imphal, under high-soil mountains, is 111 km long.
Presently the construction work is going on and if reports are to be believed, about 70 percent of its work has been completed. About 62 km of this railway line will pass through the tunnel being built under the North Frontier Railway. The government is planning to start operations by 2023.
This work is being done under National Capital Connectivity. The total length of this rail route is around 111 km, of which at least 62 km will pass through the tunnel. The total length of all the bridges on this line is 3.5 km. There will be 10 stations on the entire railway route.
Chief Engineer Rail Project, Sandeep Sharma said, "The 70.3 km section has been completed, and the remaining work will also be completed soon," adding that the train operations will start by December 2023. "The biggest challenge was to build a tunnel. Under a 65-meter mountain of mud. Because there was a risk of accident at the time of excavation, there was also a risk of soil falling.
"But the work is being done with caution and safety. This tunnel is the longest tunnel to be built under the soil. However, the longest tunnel in the country is in Pir Panjal.
North Frontier Railway has faced various challenges in making this tunnel and 70 percent work has been completed.

HISPA (Hispanics Inspiring Students' Performance and Achievement)
of Private Matching Funds Remaining
Mission: To mobilize Hispanic professionals as active role models in local educational programs. Vision: To contribute to America's future by inspiring students' academic performance and achievement. HISPA mobilizes Hispanic professionals to eradicate one key reason why youth don't pursue education: a lack of role models. Unless students believe they can achieve, they risk of dropping out—and indeed, Hispanic dropout is the highest of all racial/ethnic groups. This has social and economic consequences as jobs demand more education and Hispanics make up more of the workforce. Research shows that early intervention is key to reducing dropout. It also shows strong correlation between having a role model and pursuing education. HISPA programs intervene during this critical period to emphasize the importance of academics, introduce careers, and demonstrate that all students can achieve their dreams. The HISPA Role Model Program puts Hispanic professionals in Hispanic-majority school classrooms to emphasize the importance of higher education and introduce potential future careers. HISPA Youth Conferences bring 150 students to a university campus for hands-on workshops alongside positive role models to introduce college life and encourage STEM studies and careers. HISPA Corporate Visits to company headquarters allow students to explore career options immersed in a professional setting. Students tour labs and work with cutting-edge technologies and hear from company leaders.

About Hawaiian diacritical marks
The Hawaiian language uses two diacritical markings. The okina is a glottal stop, similar to the sound between the syllables of "oh-oh." In print, the correct mark for designating an okina is the single open quote mark. The kahako is a macron, which lengthens and adds stress to the marked vowel. For example 'pau,' depending on placement of okina and kahako, can mean completed, smudge, moist or skirt.
The State of Hawaii and University of Hawaii strongly encourage use of Hawaiian diacritical markings. (See UH Style Guide.) Technology, however, is still catching up.
Choose the level of Hawaiian font display
Depending on your browser, operating system and installed fonts, you may be able to display Hawaiian diacritical marks. If not, they will generally appear as boxes or question marks. In that case, you can choose either to use a foot mark (') as an approximation of the okina or display text without diacritical marks.
Your setting selection will be maintained for this browser and this session only.
- Display no diacritical markings
- Use the footmark () for the okina, but do not display macrons
- Show all diacritical markings
Click on the links above and watch the demo text below change. If you see boxes instead of diacritical marks, you do not have the fonts installed and should turn off the diacritical option for your session.

Zaluzianskya is a small genus of flowering annuals and perennials grown for their lovely flowers. Native to South Africa, most plants in the genus of Zaluzianskya are drought-tolerant and low growing plants that can be grown in containers or in the ground.
Among many popular species, Zaluzianskya capensis is grown widely for its lovely and fragrant flowers. In fact, the plant is known for intoxicating and potent fragrance that its flowers emit. Flowers of Zaluzianskya capensis start blooming early in the day and the fragrance becomes stronger and stronger with the passage of time. As the night approaches, the small white flowers emit a potent and somewhat addicting fragrance that reminds of vanilla or almonds. That is why the plant is commonly described as Midnight candy or Night Blooming Phlox.
Zaluzianskya capensis is quite easy to grow from seeds that germinate easily when sown in early spring. Young plants require average watering and partial sun. Mature plants can be grown under shade or full sun. However, it should be protected from frost and long spells of cold.
Generally Zaluzianskya capensis benefits from a rich soil that is moist during the summer but well-drained in winter.

Athlete Biological Passport Program FAQ
What is an Athlete Biological Passport (ABP)?
An Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is an ongoing electronic record of an athlete's biological markers from multiple blood sample collections over a period of time.
An ABP differs from traditional blood tests by looking at the effects of doping rather than directly detecting the prohibited substances or methods used. This means that even if a substance has left the body, the ABP tests will detect if it was there.
Why is the NRL introducing an ABP program?
The new testing measures are part of a range of initiatives introduced by the NRL's Integrity and Compliance Unit to protect rugby league. The testing program has been developed on the basis of expert advice and gives confidence to the fans and the players who are committed to a drug-free sport.
The NRL's ABP program is part of a comprehensive suite of changes that will significantly strengthen rugby league against emerging threats to world sport.
What are the other new testing measures being announced by the NRL?
The new ABP program will run in addition to traditional blood and urine testing. The other new measures include:
 - Increased testing for Human Growth Hormone with samples sent to London to take advantage of the latest technology developed for the 2012 Olympics
 - Increased testing for peptides with samples sent to Cologne to take advantage of leading international developments in peptide testing
Who administers the NRL's ABP Program?
The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) will be contracted by the NRL to conduct all aspects of the program on its behalf.
When will the program start?
The program will commence in June 2013.
How are players selected?
Players are selected at ASADA's discretion.
How often will ABP testing occur?
ASADA has indicated that a minimum of four tests would be reasonable to provide an individual athlete's baseline record. A baseline record is simply gathering a sufficient quantity of data from which a panel of three experts can agree that it is highly likely that a prohibited substance or method has been used following testing. In a full year, it is expected each player would be required to submit to between four and ten tests.
How long will it take for tests to be completed?
The test itself is relatively short and only requires a sample of blood. However, an athlete is required to be in a rested state prior to undertaking the test which could result in a player waiting for up to two hours from the time he first advised of the test. Once notified an athlete must remain with the testing official until the test is complete.
Where will the biological passports be tested and by whom?
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited laboratories in Australia will process ABP tests conducted in Australia.
Is the new ABP Program supported by the Rugby League Players' Association?
Yes. The program has been discussed in detail with the RLPA. The RLPA strongly supports the testing of players to ensure compliance with the WADA code and the NRL's Anti-Doping Policy.

RSSB Rail Carbon Tool Training
The Network Rail Environmental and Social Minimum Requirements standard requires certain rail projects (those with over £1 million spend on civils, track and Overhead Line Equipment (OLE)) to undertake a carbon assessment using the RSSB Rail Carbon Tool. Projects must demonstrate that they have undertaken an assessment and used the results to influence design and construction.
In addition, there are UK policy requirements such as the goals to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050. Measuring and reducing carbon is also important for achieving verification for specifications such as PAS (Publicly Available Specification) 2080. PAS2080 is the world's first low carbon infrastructure specification which provides a framework for the industry to evaluate and manage whole life carbon emissions aiming to deliver reduced carbon and reduced cost solutions.
This training has been recently developed to introduce delegates to the RSSB Rail Carbon Tool. Specifically, how to use the tool and the benefits of using it on UK rail infrastructure projects to reduce embodied carbon and save money.
The Rail Carbon Tool is free to access for both RSSB members and non-members working in the GB rail sector.
Any organisation undertaking a large infrastructure project will have to hold the expertise to use the Rail Carbon Tool. The training is aimed at individuals who would use the tool to undertake carbon assessments for their projects and reduce carbon emissions through design and construction which can result in capital and operational cost savings.
This training is likely to be relevant to (but not limited to) environmental professionals, engineers, project managers and estimators.
- Learn the background to the tool and the regulatory and legislative context for undertaking carbon assessments.
- How to reduce carbon emissions through design and construction for capital and operational cost savings.
- Complete practical exercises on mock rail infrastructure projects using the Rail Carbon Tool.
- How the Rail Carbon Tool can be used to undertake carbon assessments for projects.
All delegates are required to bring a laptop / tablet with the Rail Carbon Tool installed.
This training will be delivered by Elliot Shiers. Elliot is a practitioner member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) with eight years of experience in delivering environmental and sustainability management solutions on complex and nationally significant rail infrastructure projects.
Elliot has expertise in undertaking carbon assessments, using the Rail Carbon Tool and has worked extensively on a variety of rail infrastructure projects to deliver carbon and cost savings and help projects meet their sustainability targets and objectives.
Background on the tool
The video below provides an introduction to the Rail Carbon Tool and some background on why the tool was developed.

|Spreading the word on skimboarding - responsibly|
A group of local Grade 4 students are taking it to the beach! Arrowview Elementary's Garbage Busters Club has turned its focus towards keeping local beaches healthy. Expanding their focus from clean communities, students have designed and created posters to help educate skimboarders about eelgrass and beach conservation.
"One of the things we've learned as part of our nearshore beach study is the huge impact that we have on creatures which live in our beach areas," says student teacher Janet Richards. With help from MVIHES' Michele Deakin, students learned about the eelgrass beds along the beach tide line and how skimboarding over and through this fragile eco habitat can adversely affect animals and plants.
Students brainstormed ideas to educate skimboarders to use the beach responsibly including using non-toxic waxes, placing ramps and structures away from the eelgrass beds, and using barren pools instead of tide lines. A new colourful poster campaign will help spread the word to the thousands of beach users this summer. "The students understand that if we take care of this important resource, it will be there when they get older," says teacher Jodi Waters.
Look for the student posters around Parksville and Qualicum Beach including businesses which support recreational activities along the beach.
This project is part of the nearshore education program offered by MVIHES with the support of the Town of Qualicum Beach, the City of Parksville and Georgia Basin Living Rivers.


Angus Australia
Contractural arachnodactyly (CA)
Congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CA) also known as 'Fawn calf syndrome' was first identified in Victoria in 1998.
The condition causes development defects within the calves, which are typically born alive, with most surviving to maturity. CA calves appear visibly abnormal with restricted movement caused by reduced elasticity of the connective tissue. Calves will display restricted movement within their front legs, their hind legs will be set back behind them (hyperextension) and will display an upward arching of their spine.
The visible symptoms of the condition become increasingly difficult to detect as the animal grows and the ability for these features to improve over time, is an important characteristic of diagnosing the condition.
CA is controlled by a simple recessive mutation.

Starvation occurs if the player does not eat food after a long enough period of time. It accumulates slowly at all times, and primarily affects Strength, though Perception and Charisma also suffer at higher starvation levels. It takes five days for the player to starve without eating anything. Most types of food will reduce starvation by some amount, though certain foods are more effective than others.
There are no items or effects which directly increase the player's starvation level.
The Survival skill affects all food items, and increases the amount of starvation they reduce. Players with a high Survival skill will find it necessary to carry less food.
The amount of starvation a given consumable item will reduce may not correlate to the amount of health it provides. For example, iguana bits restore less than a package of Cram, although both items have the same weight, value, radiation, and health restoration properties.
The MREs found in Lonesome Road restore lots of starvation, up to 600 points to be precise, and are plentiful in the DLC.

Consider the Kovsh
These ornamental ladles are kovshi (singular: kovsh), a type of Russian drinking vessel in the shape of a duck. Traditionally, various vessels were intended for different beverages. Kovshi, which come in a range of sizes, were intended for drinking kvass or beer. They were also used for drinking mead, a honey based drink that varied in flavor from using different fruits and berries. Silver kovshi were used for white mead, while golden kovshi were used for red mead.
They were originally made of wood and some early kovshi were made of tightly woven cloth. In the 16th century, they began to be made in silver and increasingly assumed a ceremonial status. The kovshi in our collection are nineteenth and early twentieth century pieces of the Old Russian style, seen in the multicolored enameling inspired by sixteenth and seventeenth-century patterns. A yearning for a Russian art unmarred by Western influence contributed to what became the Russian Revival in the 1870s and 1880s. Interest in exploring early Russian artistic traditions provided craftsmen with a rich body of sources for creating beautiful, distinctly Russian works of art. Cloisonné enameling is but one example; another is trompe l'oeil, discussed in this blog post. While many such pieces were ornamental, a few could function as punch bowls or salts depending on their size.
These pieces illustrate how time and again the functional and artistic merits of the decorative arts can be appreciated both independently and harmoniously.

Killer Heels review: a fun history of the fashion for high heels
Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe
edited by Lisa Small
Shakespeare mentions high heels in Hamlet, former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg praised them, and designers from Christian Dior to Manolo Blahnik have bewitched women and men with their versions. Killer Heels is a luxurious, fun and sexy look at the history of high heels, and it manages to be eye candy and thought-provoking, too.
Based on an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, the book contains several essays and more than 100 luxurious illustrations that trace the history of heels from ancient Greece and Turkey to the modern streets of New York and Paris. Greek actors used thick-soled cork shoes for greater visibility onstage, and during the Ottoman empire women used a type of clog for slick bathhouse floors. That supposedly inspired the chopine of 16th-century Venice, and one delicately embroidered pair from that era shown in the book could still attract attention at a party today. The book is dominated by pictures of heels from the past 100 years, and designer Pierre Hardy notes a common theme there: "People love a high heel because it is not natural. It is a cultural object connected with seduction, power, and sexuality."
A pair of Salvatore Ferragamo heels from 1938 is like a happy, coloured layer cake for feet, while the Rapaport Brothers' Satellite Jumping Shoes from 1955 has a pair of springs, presumably to launch the wearer even higher.
There are kinky red leather, thigh-high boots with heels from Paris in the 1920s and the untitled nude "Gaga Shoe" from 2012 that has tiny men clambering up the sides of the shoes.
Many of the modern examples are a mixture of fashion, art and architecture. Iris van Herpen's "Beyond Wilderness" is constructed to look like a black mass of twisted roots, while Roger Vivier's "Blue Feather Choc" is wildly elegant.
Killer Heels is bound to please any fashionista, but men who take a peek may also find the answer to the age-old question of why women need so many pairs of shoes.

Activity of Regions Below GWT
There are two cases to be considered when deactivating a region below the GWT.
1) The soil subjected to excavation is completely enclosed by active beam elements. The beam is then considered to be impermeable and both the soil and water are removed (removing total stresses - inactive region is free of water). Owing to impermeability of the beam elements, the pore pressure distribution remains unchanged, see the figure.
Pore pressure distribution after removing soil from region enclosed by active beams
2) The removed soil is not enclosed by beam elements. In such case we assume that water in the excavated region is still active. This state is evident from the pore pressure distribution in the figure.
Pore pressure distribution after removing soil
Its effect can be removed by changing the ground water table.

Mabuhay (pronunciation: muhBU-hai ) is a Tagalog greeting. It literally is the imperative form of "live", from the root word buhay (life).
The phrase is comparable in sentiment to the Romance language expression "Vive, Viva", and the Japanese exclamation Banzai. It has carries various meanings including "may you live", "cheers", "welcome", and "hurrah".
This sentiment is being used in the Proclamation of Philippine Independence, they use the sentiment Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
The expression is mostly used for toasts during gatherings and parties, and is used as a cry of adulation towards individuals or concepts at rallies and political conferences. A more modern appropriation of the greeting is its use in the local hospitality industry to welcome guests. Alternatively, the Spanish ¡Viva! survives in mostly religious contexts, specifically in shouts of praise directed at a patron saint or to the Deity during fiestas and assemblies (e.g., "¡Viva Señor Santo Niño!")

9 Ghost Sightings From Reddit That Will Creep You Out
In a recent paranormal Reddit discussion, parents shared stories about their children maybe, possibly, almost undeniably seeing ghosts. Like cats and dogs, children just seem to be more in touch with the other side than adults. Horror movies may have planted that idea into our minds, but these anecdotes totally back it up.
While a few Redditors offered stories of their children encountering friendly or well-meaning ghosts, others shared stories that could be the premise for one of those aforementioned horror movies. From kids seeing red-eyed men to toddlers giggling at dark, seemingly empty corners, these eerie tales will surely keep you up at night. At the very least, they'll reignite your childhood urge to check under your bed before going to sleep.
Come to think of it, if these kids aren't seeing ghosts, we shudder to think what they are seeing.
Click through to read some seriously scary ghost stories, courtesy of the parents, siblings, and babysitters of Reddit. And if creepy kids aren't your thing, maybe these terrifying ghost stories from R29ers are more your style.

The aim of this study was to examine the conscious processing hypothesis as an explanation of the anxiety/performance relationship. The study was designed to identify conscious processing performance effects while controlling for an alternative attentional threshold explanation identified in previous research. Participants completed 60 golf putts. They completed 3 blocks of 10 putts in single task, task-relevant shadowing, and task-irrelevant tone-counting conditions. Each set of 3 × 10 putts was completed in low and high anxiety conditions. Anxiety was elevated using an instructional set. Self-reported effort and spectral analysis of heart rate variability were used to examine the patterning of effort across the different putting conditions. Findings indicated that performance was impaired in the high anxiety shadowing and tone-counting conditions, supporting an attentional threshold interpretation. Spectral analysis of heart rate variability indicated that potential compensatory increases in spectral power in the high frequency band associated with dual-task putting in the low anxiety condition were absent in the high anxiety tone-counting and shadowing putting conditions, partially reflecting the performance findings. No effects were found for self-reported effort. Taken together, the performance and heart rate variability results support an attentional interpretation of the anxiety/motor performance relationship.

Which of the following primary elements of a tenant defines the MAC address space?
- a contract
- a filter
- a bridge domain
- an EPG
A bridge domain is the primary element of a tenant that defines the Media Access Control (MAC) address space. Bridge domains are logical Layer 2 forwarding configurations within a Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) fabric that use switched virtual interfaces (SVIs) for gateways and can be configured to span multiple physical devices. In this respect, bridge domains are similar to virtual local area networks (VLANs). However, the purpose of a bridge domain is to define the MAC address space and flood domain.
Tenants are containers that can be used to represent organizations, domains, or specific groupings of information. Typically, tenants are configured to ensure that different policy types are isolated from each other, similar to user groups or roles in a role-based access control (RBAC) environment.
An endpoint group (EPG) is a primary element of a tenant; however, an EPG does not define the MAC address space. EPGs are logical groupings of endpoints that provide the same application or components of an application. For example, a collection of Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) servers could be logically grouped into an EPG labeled WEB. EPGs are typically collected within application profiles. EPGs can communicate with other EPGs by using contracts.
A contract is a primary element of a tenant; however, a contract does not define the MAC address space. Contracts are policy objects that define how EPGs communicate with each other. There are three types of contracts that can be applied in an ACI fabric:
– Regular — applies filters to matching traffic and typically follows taboo contracts
– Taboo — denies and logs matching traffic
– Out-of-Band (OOB) – applies to OOB traffic from the management tenant
A filter is a primary element of a tenant; however, a filter does not define the MAC address space. Filters are low-level ACI objects that help define EPG contracts. Filters operate at Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) networking model.

Rainwater isotopes in central Vietnam controlled by two oceanic moisture sources and rainout effects
Published Web Locationhttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-73508-z
The interpretation of palaeoclimate archives based on oxygen isotopes depends critically on a detailed understanding of processes controlling the isotopic composition of precipitation. In the summer monsoonal realm, like Southeast Asia, seasonally and interannually depleted oxygen isotope ratios in precipitation have been linked to the summer monsoon strength. However, in some regions, such as central Vietnam, the majority of precipitation falls outside the summer monsoon period. We investigate processes controlling stable isotopes in precipitation from central Vietnam by combining moisture uptake calculations with monthly stable isotope data observed over five years. We find that the isotopic seasonal cycle in this region is driven by a shift in moisture source from the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea. This shift is reflected in oxygen isotope ratios with low values (- 8 to - 10‰) during summer and high values during spring/winter (0 to - 3‰), while 70% of the annual rainfall occurs during autumn. Interannual changes in precipitation isotopes in central Vietnam are governed by the timing of the seasonal onset and withdrawal of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, which controls the amount of vapour contributed from each source.

Generally, when using the conditional operator, here's the syntax:
int x = 6;
int y = x == 6? 5 : 9;
Nothing fancy, pretty straight forward.
Now, let's try to use this when assigning a Lambda to a Func type. Let me explain:
Func predicate = id == null
 ? p => p.EmployeeID == null
 : p => p.EmployeeID == id;
That's the same syntax, and should work? Right? For some reason that doesn't. The compiler gives this nice cryptic message:
Error 1 Type of conditional expression cannot be determined because there is no implicit conversion between 'lambda expression' and 'lambda expression'
I then went ahead and changed the syntax and this way it did work:
Func predicate = id == null
 ? predicate = p => p.EmployeeID == null
 : predicate = p => p.EmployeeID == id;
I'm just curious as to why it doesn't work the first way?
(Side note: I ended up not needing this code, as I found out that when comparing an int value against null, you just use object.Equals)

You can convert a lambda expression to a particular target delegate type, but in order to determine the type of the conditional expression, the compiler needs to know the type of each of the second and third operands. While they're both just "lambda expression" there's no conversion from one to the other, so the compiler can't do anything useful.
I wouldn't suggest using an assignment, however - a cast is more obvious:
Func predicate = id == null
 ? (Func) (p => p.EmployeeID == null)
 : p => p.EmployeeID == id;
Note that you only need to provide it for one operand, so the compiler can perform the conversion from the other lambda expression.

Very very interesting. That actually makes alot of sense. Thanks. – BFree Nov 4 '08 at 20:05

The C# compiler cannot infer the type of the created lambda expression because it processes the ternary first and then the assignment. you could also do:
Func predicate =
 id == null?
 new Func(p => p.EmployeeID == null) :
 new Func(p => p.EmployeeID == id);
but that just sucks, you could also try
Func predicate =
 id == null?
 (Order p) => p.EmployeeID == null :
 (Order p) => p.EmployeeID == id;
share|improve this answer
The latter doesn't work, because the compiler doesn't know whether to convert to a delegate or an expression tree (or to, say, a Func which would be okay too). – Jon Skeet Nov 4 '08 at 19:55

How to Monkey Patch when using Flex RSLs
Monkey patchers run into problems when using Flex RSLs. In this post I'll explain why monkey patching does not work when using RSLs and provide details of how to make it work. I'll monkey patch the mx.controls.Button class in this post and ListCollectionView and Spark Button in later posts.
Why doesn't monkey patching work when using RSLs? To answer this question it is important to understand two things:
 1. The Flash Player has a first-in-wins rule when loading classes.
 2. Flex applications contain two frames. The first frame contains few classes and loads the RSLs. The second frame contains the rest of the application's classes.
Say you've monkey patched mx.controls.Button, which will end up in frame 2 of your application. In frame 1 of the application, the framework RSL will be loaded which contains the mx.controls.Button class. When frame 2 of the application loads the monkey patched version of mx.controls.Button is ignored because of the Flash Player first-in-wins rule.
When you monkey patch a class that is in frame 1, then you are done, you don't need an RSL.
The basic steps I'll use to monkey patch are:
 1. Create an RSL with just the monkey-patched file and its inheritance dependencies.
 2. Add your RSL to the configuration to get it loaded.
To demonstrate the process I created a project with a simple application that contains one button.
The project was developed using a pre-release version of Flex4, build
Create an RSL
My modification of Button is just a change to set label() so I can see if a Button in my application is a real or patched Button. When the Button's label setter is called I just prepend "Monkey patched " to the original value.
_label = "Monkey patched " + value;
I started by adding to my source tree using the same package as Flex, "mx.controls". Next compile your source into an RSL. From the command line it will look something like this:
>compc -directory -output=button -link-report=link.rpt -include-classes=mx.controls.Button -source-path=.
>optimizer button/library.swf –output -button.swf
>digest button.swf -swc-path=button
After running these commands the size of button.swf is 143,596 bytes. Looking at the link report, there are a lot of classes besides mx.controls.Button that we don't need. Ideally, all we want in the RSL is mx.controls.Button. But the Flash Player requires classes that Button extends or implements to be defined when the Button class is loaded. Since we are loading this RSL before the framework RSL, we need to also include the classes Button extends and implements in framework.swc. For each additional class we include, we also need to include the classes it extends and implements.
Take the link report from the first compile of Button and copy it to a file we will use as our externs file. The externs file is what we will use to remove classes we don't want in the RSL. I actually seeded my externs.xml file by copying and pasting the script children from framework.swc's catalog. My thinking was that I wanted to exclude everything in framework.swc except Button and the classes it extends or implements. But now I can see that the externs file is much larger than it would have been if I had just started with the initial link report.
Next edit the externs file by removing the script elements for mx.controls.Button and all of its inheritance dependencies. After recompiling I was able to get the RSL size down to 35,152 bytes. That is still pretty big but it's the best we can do because we need UIComponent and UICompoment is big. When monkey patching spark components we will be able to remove UIComponent and get a much smaller RSL.
Add your RSL to the configuration
Now that you have your RSL, you just need to add it to the RSL configuration. I created a local configuration file, main-config.xml, with the RSLs I wanted. You can start by copying the elements from flex-config.xml to your local configuration file. Then add the entry for your RSL before the framework RSL.
The order of the runtime-shared-library-path options is important because it determines the load order of the RSLs. The RSL URLs in my configuration file are all local SWF files so before running the application I will copy the RSLs from my SDK frameworks/RSLs directory to where my application lives.
When the new RSL is loaded for the first time you will mostly encounter verify errors because you missed removing an interface from the externs file. As you encounter a verify error, remove that class from the externs file and try again. Eventually the RSL will contain all the classes it needs and load without errors.
Finally, run the application to verify the monkey patched Button is being used.

Nvidia A100
What is NVIDIA A100?
The NVIDIA A100 is a data-center-grade graphical processing unit (GPU), part of larger NVIDIA solution that allows organizations to build large-scale machine learning infrastructure. It is a dual slot 10.5-inch PCI Express Gen4 card, based on the Ampere GA100 GPU. A100 is the world's fastest deep learning GPU designed and optimized for deep learning workloads.
The A100 comes with either 40GB or 80GB of memory, and has two major editions—one based on NVIDIA's high performance NVLink network infrastructure, and one based on traditional PCIe.
Its main features include:
 - 3rd generation Tensor Core—new format TF32, 2.5x FP64 for HPC workloads, 20x INT8 for AI inference, and support for BF16 data format.
 - HBM2e GPU memory—doubles memory capacity compared to the previous generation, with memory bandwidth of over 2TB per second.
 - MIG Technology—each instance offers up to 7 isolated Multi Instance GPUs (MIG), each with 10 GB of RAM.
 - Special support for sparse models—for sparse matrix calculations (tensors with many zeros), provides a 2x compared to the previous generation.
 - 3rd Generation NVLink and NVSwitch—upgraded network interconnect enabling GPU-to-GPU bandwidth of 600 GB/s.
In this article, you will learn:
NVIDIA A100 System Specifications
There are two versions of the A100 GPU:
 - NVIDIA A100 for NVLink—based on optimized NVIDIA networking infrastructure for highest performance—4/8 SXM on NVIDIA HGX™ A100.
 - NVIDIA A100 for PCIe—based on traditional PCIe slots, letting you deploy the GPU on a larger variety of servers.
Both versions provide the following performance capabilities:

NVIDIA A100 Key Features
Third-generation NVIDIA NVLink
NVIDIA's third-generation high-speed NVLink interconnect improves GPU scalability, performance, and reliability. It is included in A100 GPUs and NVIDIA's latest NVSwitch. Thanks to additional links per GPU and NVSwitch, NVLink now offers wider GPU-GPU communication bandwidth and enhanced error detection, with recovery capabilities.
The latest NVLink boasts a 50 Gbit/sec data rate per signal pair, which is double the bandwidth provided by V100. Comparatively, a V100 NVLink provides a bandwidth of only 25 GB/sec, with half the amount of signal pairs used by V100. The number of links has doubled—12 compared to V100's 6—providing a total bandwidth of 600 GB/sec, compared to 300 in the V100.
Support for NVIDIA Magnum IO and Mellanox Interconnect Solutions
NVIDIA's A100 Tensor Core GPU is compatible with the company's Magnum IO and Mellanox InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnect solutions for accelerating multi-node connectivity.
The API for Magnum IO brings together file systems and storage, computing, and networking, maximizing the performance of multi-node acceleration systems. It can accelerate I/O for a wide spectrum of workloads, including AI, analytics and graphics processing, by interfacing with CUDA-X.
Asynchronous Copy
A100 boasts an innovative asynchronous copy instruction. This is performed in the background, allowing shared memory (SM) to meanwhile perform other computations.
The A100 makes it possible to load data into SM straight from global memory, without requiring an intermediate register file (RF). Async-copy reduces power consumption, uses memory bandwidth more efficiently and reduces register bandwidth.
Asynchronous Barrier
Barriers are important to manage competing and overlapping tasks in a multi-threaded environment. The A100 GPU provides special hardware acceleration for barriers, and C++-conformant barrier objects, accessible from CUDA 11. This makes it possible to:
 - Split arrive and wait operations for asynchronous barriers
 - Implement producer-consumer patterns directly in CUDA
 - Synchronize CUDA threads at any level of granularity (beyond warp/block)
Task Graph Acceleration
Thanks to A100's new features, new paths between task graph grids can now be implemented much faster.
You can employ a more efficient model for GPU work submission using CUDA task graphs, which provide define-once, run-repeatedly execution flows. These include a series of dependency-connected operations, including kernel launches or memory copies.
Predefined task graphs enable launching numerous kernels as one operation. This improves application performance and efficiency.
What is a Tensor Core?
Tensors are mathematical objects that describe the relationship between other mathematical objects. They are usually represented as a numeric array with multiple dimensions.
When processing graphics large amounts of data must be moved and processed in vector form. Because GPUs have strong parallel processing capabilities, they are well suited for tensor processing. Today all GPUs support General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM), which is the typical mathematical operation performed on tensors.
The NVIDIA Ampere architecture provides improved performance for GEMM, including:
 - Improving performance from 64 to 256 GEMMs per cycle
 - Support for new data formats
 - Fast processing for sparse tensors (tensors with a large number of zero values)
Programmers have easy access to Tensor Cores on Volta, Turing or Ampere chips. In order to use Tensor Cores:
 - Add a flag to the code to indicate tensor cores should be used (see some examples in the CUDA 9 documentation)
 - Ensure you are using a supported data format
 - Ensure the size of the matrix is a multiple of 8
What are Multi Instance GPUs (MIG)?
Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) is a technique for splitting one A100 GPU into multiple GPU instances—currently up to 7 instances are supported. Each virtual GPU instance runs with separate memory, caching, and multiprocessors. According to NVIDIA, in many scenarios, MIG can improve GPU server utilization by up to 7X.
An A100 GPU running in MIG mode can run up to seven different AI or HPC workloads in parallel. This is especially useful for AI inference jobs that don't require all the power offered by modern GPUs.
For example, you can create:
 - 2 MIG instances with 20 GB of memory each
 - 3 MIG instances with 10 GB each
 - 7 MIG instances with 5 GB each
MIG isolates GPU instances from each other, ensuring that faults in one instance don't affect the others. Each instance offers guaranteed quality of service (QoS) to ensure you get the expected latency and throughput from your workload.
Using MIG for Training and Inference
At the training stage, MIG allows up to seven operators to access a dedicated GPU simultaneously, so multiple deep learning models can be tuned in parallel. As long as each job does not require the full computing capacity of the A100 GPU, this provides excellent performance for each operator.
At the inference stage, MIG lets you process up to seven inference jobs at a time on a single GPU. This is very useful for inference workloads based on small, low-latency models, which do not require full GPU capabilities.
Flexible Deployment
Users can use MIG for AI and HPC without changing their existing CUDA programming model. MIG runs on existing Linux operating systems as well as Kubernetes.
NVIDIA A100 provides MIG as part of its software—this includes GPU drivers, the CUDA 11 framework, an updated NVIDIA container runtime, and new Kubernetes resource types available through device plugins.
NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vCS) can be used with MIG to manage hypervisors like Red Hat Virtualization and VMware vSphere. This enables functionality such as live migration and multi-tenancy.
What is NVIDIA DGX A100?
The DGX A100 is an AI infrastructure server providing 5 petaFLOPS of computing power in one system. It enables operating AI workloads, from development to deployment, at large scale on a unified platform.
DGX A100 systems can be connected into large clusters with up to thousands of units. You can scale by adding more DGX units, and splitting each A100 GPU into seven independent GPUs using MIG. DGX A100 provides eight NVIDIA A100 GPUs, and because each can be split into seven, this provides up to 56 independent GPUs in a single DGX, each with its own direct high bandwidth connection, memory, cache and compute.
NVIDIA also provides the NGC Private Registry, with containers optimized for GPU infrastructure, that let you run deep learning, machine

Several recent investigations have linked running economy to heel length, with shorter heels being associated with less metabolic energy consumption. It has been hypothesized that shorter heels require larger plantar flexor muscle forces, thus increasing tendon energy storage and reducing metabolic cost. The goal of this study was to investigate this possible mechanism for metabolic cost reduction. Fifteen male subjects ran at 16 kmh−1 on a treadmill and subsequently on a force-plate instrumented runway. Measurements of oxygen consumption, kinematics, and ground reaction forces were collected. Correlational analyses were performed between oxygen consumption and anthropometric and kinetic variables associated with the ankle and foot. Correlations were also computed between kinetic variables (peak joint moment and peak tendon force) and heel length. Estimated peak Achilles tendon force normalized to body weight was found to be strongly correlated with heel length normalized to body height (r = −.751, p = .003). Neither heel length nor any other measured or calculated variable were correlated with oxygen consumption, however. Subjects with shorter heels experienced larger Achilles tendon forces, but these forces were not associated with reduced metabolic cost. No other anthropometric and kinetic variables considered explained the variance in metabolic cost across individuals.

With last week's cold snap wreaking havoc with water supply and availability in many parishes, St. Charles Parish was one that did not have to issue a boil water advisory like many of its neighbors.
St. Charles Parish Waterworks Director Robbie Brou said the parish has the ability to treat more than twice the average daily water demands of its residents, a useful distinction in these situations. That infrastructure, along with some conservation by parish residents, kept the situation from escalating and requiring a boil mandate.
"We also maintain a one day supply of drinking water in storage at our facilities," Brou said. "These abilities were stretched to their maximum due to the number of customer leaks and people flushing water lines to avoid frozen pipes. This prompted us to ask our customers to restrict or limit water usage to avoid low water pressure in the system and the resulting boil water advisories."
Even so, Brou admits waterworks staff and parish authorities were very concerned throughout the course of the cold weather event.
"Even with the additional capacity we were supplying more water to the distribution system than we could treat," Brou said. "We were able to do this because of the one day's supply of water in storage. However as the level of water in storage continued to drop during the event there was growing concern that we could not maintain the rate of flow from the plants for much longer without facing low water pressure issues."
Brou credited the department's distribution crews that worked diligently to locate and turn off leaking water services for both days of the event, as well as repairing the two water main breaks in the parish's system.
The call to residents to conserve reversed the trend of having to distribute more water than the department was treating, which allowed for the chance to start filling its storage tanks.
The Department of Health requires water systems to maintain water pressure above 15 PSI. All water distribution lines have small leaks in them and the maintained positive pressure on the inside of those pipes ensures those leaks are leaking out and that nothing is leaking in.
"The parish places a large emphasis on our water system as it is a critical service that we provide to residents." — Robbie Brou
Brou said the concern and often the need for a boil advisory comes when the pressure falls too low. That can result in ground water leaking into the water pipes and causing potential contamination.
If the water needs of residents exceed the ability to treat it, it can result in low water pressure throughout a system.
Preparation is key in any emergency situation, and this was no different, Brou notes.
"The parish places a large emphasis on our water system as it is a critical service that we provide to residents," he said. "Well-maintained and properly-sized treatment, storage and distribution infrastructure is critical to sustaining water pressure, flow and quality in an event such as we have just experienced, but also in maintaining these every day of the year."

Lake Medlow Dam
Lake Medlow Dam
Located about 110 kilometres west of Sydney, Lake Medlow Dam is on Adams Creek, between Katoomba and Blackheath.
Believed to be one of the thinnest dam walls in the world (only 106 centimetres wide at the top), the dam is located between Katoomba and Blackheath. It was the first of the dams built as part of the development of the upper Blue Mountains.
Today it still supplies water to the middle and upper Blue Mountains. The dam is not open to the public.
Height: 20 m
Length: 38 metres
Total storage capacity: 326 ML
Lake: 5 ha
Catchment: 5 square kilometres
Lake Medlow Dam history
Originally known as Adams Creek Dam, Lake Medlow Dam was built in 1907 on Adams Creek. It was the first of the water supply dams built as part of the development of the Upper Blue Mountains.
It was the first concrete thin arch, high stress dam built in NSW. Only 274 centimetres wide at the bottom and 106 centimetres at the top, it is one of the thinnest dams in the world and created considerable controversy when it was completed.
The Institution of Engineers, Australia placed a historic engineering marker on the dam in 1994. The National Trust and Blue Mountains City Council have registered the dam on their heritage list.
The completion of Lake Medlow Dam was a significant step in providing a reliable water supply for Medlow Bath, Blackheath and surrounding areas. Today, the dam supplies water via the Cascade dams to the Cascade water filtration plant, which provides water to the middle and upper Blue Mountains.


Quick Answer: How Do You Bowl Off Spin And Leg Spin?
Can a fast bowler bowl spin?
A bowler can bowl fast or spin(whatever he/she wants).
Let's take a bowler who predominantly bowls medium pace, but can also bowl spin decently.
But a bowler wouldn't normally try to bowl BOTH spin and fast in the same over.
That's not because it's not allowed or he can't bowl..
How do you bowl a Teesra?
The ball is held by an off-spinner in his normal action but instead of twisting the arm at the point of the delivery, the bowler simply does not roll his fingers down the back of the ball. The delivery looks like it will turn a lot but it doesn't turn at all. This is a good way of deceiving the batsman.
Who is the king of off spin?
Shane WarneBirthday Special: Here's why Shane Warne was the 'King of Spin'
Does spin spin off finger?
Finger spin (also known as off spin) is a type of bowling in the sport of cricket. … The other spinning technique, generally used to spin the ball in the opposite direction, is wrist spin. Although there are exceptions, finger spinners generally turn the ball less than wrist spinners.
What is the difference between off break and off spin?
Off spin is a type of finger spin bowling in cricket. A bowler who uses this technique is called an off spinner. Off spinners are right-handed spin bowlers who use their fingers to spin the ball. … The ball breaks away from the off side, hence the name 'off break'.
Can Off spinner bowl googly?
If an off-spinner bowls a ball which moves away from the batsman, then its a doosra. If a leg spinner bowls a ball which moves in to the batsman, then its a googly. Note : Considering a right hand bowler bowling to a right hand batsman.
Which way does a leg spinner spin the ball?
The leg spinner's normal delivery causes the ball to spin from right to left (from the bowler's perspective) in the cricket pitch when the ball bounces. For a right-handed batsman, that is away from the leg side, and this is where it gets the name leg break, meaning it breaks away from the leg.
Is wrist spin Leg spin?
A wrist spin delivery is released with the arm held in a fully pronated position, with the fingers on the inside of the ball (to the left for a right-handed bowler). … Right-handed wrist spin is more commonly known as leg spin.
Which is better off spin or leg spin?
There are various reasons why the leg-spinners are more challenging to face; or even why they tend to pick more wickets than off-spinners. In the case of the leg-spinners, they get more torque on the ball, which allows them to get more drift in the flight. With the help of that, to read them off their hands gets tough.
Can an off spinner bowl leg spin?
Off-spinner R Ashwin's leg-spin may start a movement among bowlers.
Who is the best spinner in the world now?
We look at the five best spinners in the cricket world today.Imran Tahir. Imran Tahir is one of the key bowlers of South African bowling line-up. … Ravindra Jadeja. He is one of the vital bowlers of Indian bowling line up especially in test format. … Rangana Hearth. … Nathan Lyon. … Ravichandran Ashwin.
Who is the best leg spinner in the world now?
Rashid KhanRashid Khan has emerged as one of the greatest leg-spinners in the global cricketing circuit in recent times. He has been a favourite to pick wickets for his team in clutch situations — and his wit while spinning the ball has made him a must-have by all the teams of all the global T20 leagues in world cricket.
Can spinner bowl a bouncer?
Yes Spinners can bowl bouncers and it has happened many times in the history of cricket. Spinner can also bowl any type of bowls which other bowlers bowls. There is no restriction.

If we have a variety X, over a field k, and x is a geometric point of X, and let $\bar x $be a geometric point of $X_{k^s} := X \times_k k^s $above x then we have the following short exact sequence:

Implicit in this is a choice of $k^s$ (if you want, this is a choice of geometric point, z, on Spec(k); $\pi_1(Spec(k), z)=Gal(k)$).
suppose f is a spliting of this short exact sequence, then consider the image of f,denote by Im(f),it is a subgroup of $\pi_1(X,x) $.Then is there any understanding of the the subgroup of $\pi_1(X,x) $generated by {Im(f)|all spliting f}? And when will it be the full group $\pi_1(X,x)$?

First a remark : you have to suppose $X$ geometrically connected to get this exact sequence. I don't know what kind of understanding you expect, but the answer to the question will it always be the full group $\pi_1(X,x)$ is certainly no. The reason is that there are explicit examples (of proper smooth curves over a number field) when there are no sections at all. These examples due to Stix and Harari-Szamuely, are not easy to construct. Since a rational point provides a section up to conjugacy by functoriality of the étale fundamental group, such curves obviously possess no rational points. As you certainly know, the section conjecture predicts (in the case of proper smooth curves over a number field say) a bijection between rational points and conjugacy classes of sections, this may help to translate your question. But it looks rather difficult to me since it seems to imply a description of the set of all sections, a task supposed to be very arduous. For instance there are no known examples where one can show that the set of conjugacy classes of sections is finite non empty (for a proper smooth curve over a number field). The section conjecture, together with Faltings's theorem on the finiteness of rational points of curves of genus larger than 2, would imply the finiteness of this set of conjugacy classes of sections, though. The description of the set of sections that you use in your question is thus supposed to be a very hard task.

I wish to know is there some case or some criterion that,we can pick some spicific finite many k points of X,thus fine many sections, like $p_1,...,p_n$, such that their images generate the full group – TOM Mar 4 '11 at 16:15

The purpose of this study was to examine performance trends of advanced wind instrumentalists with regard to intervallic tuning. Factors of interest were tuning system, location (above or below a referential stimulus), interval type, and group (student or professional). Also of interest was the direction of deviation of the target pitches, sharp or flat, from equal temperament. Subjects (N = 16) were experienced wind instrumentalists, eight experienced professionals, and eight advanced university students. Subjects were recorded performing a two-part reduction of a Bach chorale, first playing the melody with a synthesized harmony line, then vice versa. Performances were transferred to a NeXT computer where target intervals were analyzed and converted to cent distance. Results indicated that overall cent deviation was greatest when compared to just tuning and least when compared to equal tempered tuning. For cent deviation from equal temperament, thirds and sixths were performed slightly less in-tune than fourths, fifths, unisons, and octaves. Location also affected the direction of deviation from equal temperament as it appeared that subjects tended to play sharp and less in-tune when performing below the stimulus. There were no differences found between groups for the magnitude of deviation, however, considering direction of deviation from equal temperament, it was observed that the student group performed less sharp than the professionals when performing below the stimulus and less in-tune when performing above.

Performing the World (PTW) came into being at the end of 2000 when Kenneth Gergen, Mary Gergen, Lois Holzman, Sheila McNamee and Fred Newman finalized plans for a multi-disciplinary conference, entitled Performing the World: Communication, Improvisation and Societal Practice. The conference took place in October, 2001 in Montauk NY. Nearly 250 participants from 27 states and 8 countries enthusiastically and creatively produced the performance of a conference, the "topic" of which was performance.
Conversations, panels, workshops and performances explored the rich potential of performance for personal, organizational and social change:
- The liberating and developmental potential of performance — both on stage and off.
- The study of performance as the means by which people create themselves and their culture.
- The opportunities performance presents for new understandings of human life and culture.
- Utilizing performance to help create new forms of relationship in families, organizations and communities.
- The emerging synthesis of theater and social science and its challenges to the methodological-philosophical foundations of knowledge.
Performing the World 2001 was sponsored by Performance of a Lifetime, a training and consulting firm with a unique performance approach to personal, professional and organizational development, and The Taos Institute, a non-profit community of scholars and practitioners who use social constructionist ideas to design and promote creative, appreciative and relational practices in families, communities and organizations around the world.

How An Oil Pressure Gauge Works
Oil Pressure Gauge Works
Here you can get oil pressure gauge working. Here we provide oil pressure gauge Mechanical gauges, Electric gauges and Pros and cons ect.
The oil pressure gauge is one among the most important instruments in a car. It acts as an indicator of the engine 's overall well-being and as an early-warning system, giving advance notice of any problems so you'll investigate the cause before an expensive breakdown occurs.
How oil pressure gauges work
The gauge monitors the oil pressure in one among the most oilways almost the pump and filter. To try to to this it's a tapping within the engine block, into which is screwed a sensor (for electric gauges) or an oil pipe take-off (for mechanical gauges).
The sensor for the oil red light is screwed into the union or T-piece at now, whether or not the car is fitted with an oil pressure gauge. Mechanical gauges work by literally forcing the needle around the dial under pressure from the engine. Electric gauges, on the opposite hand, work by using the sensor screwed into the engine block to supply a variable resistance that affects the amount of current passing through the circuit containing the gauge and sensor.
Reading an oil pressure gauge
Zero readings with the engine running above idling speed mean that either the gauge is faulty, the oil level is much too low or the oil pump or its drive has broken. If this happens, you should switch off the engine immediately.
Mechanical gauges
Oil is sent to the gauge from the tapping within the engine's oilway by a small-bore (3mm) pipe, usually copper or plastic. The pipe is routed away from anything that could damage it, because if the pipe is punctured the engine's oil would leak. The pipe enters the passenger compartment via a grommetted hole within the bulkhead, and joins the stub on the rear of the gauge via a knurled connector.
The gauge contains a versatile coiled tube called a bulb, the open end of which is rigidly mounted to the gauge's outer casing. the opposite end of the bulb is closed and connected by a lightweight linkage to the bottom end of the needle, which is itself mounted on a pivot. Oil is fed into the bulb from the supply pipe at very nearly the same pressure because it left the engine. The bulb tries to straighten under the pressure and in doing so moves the needle round the calibrated gauge scale . The greater the pressure, the more the needle moves.
Electric gauges
Electric current is supplied to the gauge from a fused power supply in practice the current is taken from one of the many wires or printed tracks behind the dashboard. The current passes through a wire-wound coil mounted around or within the needle's pivot and produces a magnetic field that moves the needle across the calibrated scale of the gauge. How far across the size the needle goes – what reading it gives – depends on how much current flows through the gauge. This in turn depends on the resistance of the gauge's return wire which is earthed to the engine block through the sensor.
The resistance of the sensor depends on the oil pressure. Oil enters the top of the sensor which is screwed into the cylinder block and pushes against a diaphragm . The diaphragm moves a wiper inside the sensor which runs up or down a blade of known resistance this blade is connected to the return wire from the gauge. The more the diaphragm moves under pressure, the further down the resistance blade the wiper moves. therefore the resistance of the sensor varies with oil pressure and moves the needle of the gauge accordingly.
All gauges are illuminated in order that they will be read in the dark . Integral gauges are lit from one among the panel lights which also illuminate the remainder of the instruments, while separate gauges have alittle (0.5 to three watt ) bulb mounted during a holder at their rear. of these lights are usually connected into the side/panel lighting circuit.
Pros and cons
Electric gauges are easier to integrate into the modern one-piece printed circuit instrument panels used in latest cars, they're less bulky and it's easier to route and connect a wire than a pipe.
Mechanical gauges aren't as common as electric ones, although they're still available in accessory shops. Because the oil arriving at the rear of the gauge is at engine pressure, you have the matter of messy leaks if the pipe comes undone. However, some people find a mechanical gauge more trustworthy.
Oil warning lights
Many cars don't have an oil pressure gauge fitted as standard, but because some indication of low oil pressure (especially zero reading) is so important, they will at least have a red or orange red light that shines if the pressure drops below a particular level.
Often this warning light will be connected to an oil-level sensor also , and in some cars the light doubles as an engine temperature warning light.

The equation for the flow field is
From the condition for stream function we get the velocity coordinate as
Similarly we get the velocity coordinate as
Thus the magnitude of the velocity is
Therefore the expression for the velocity at any point in the flow field is
The vorticity of the flow is determined by using the relation
Since the vorticity of the flow is not equal to zero we can say that the flow is rotational

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a common skin cancer with metastatic potential. To reduce reoperations due to nonradical excision, there is a need to develop a technique for identification of tumor margins preoperatively. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is a novel imaging technology that combines the strengths of laser optics and ultrasound. Our aim was to determine the spectral signature of cSCC using PA imaging and to use this signature to visualize tumor architecture and borders. Two-dimensional PA images of 33 cSCCs and surrounding healthy skin were acquired ex vivo, using 59 excitation wavelengths from 680 to 970 nm. The spectral response of the cSCCs was compared to healthy tissue, and the difference was found to be greatest at wavelengths in the range 765 to 960 nm (P <.05). Three-dimensional PA images were constructed from spectra obtained in the y-z plane using a linear stepper motor moving along the x-plane. Spectral unmixing was then performed which provided a clear three-dimensional view of the distribution of tumor masses and their borders.

What does the name Smith mean?
Smith is one of the most popular surnames in the English-speaking world, particularly common among those of English, Scottish and Irish heritage, but also often used by African Americans as a result of the enslaved being given the surname of their slavers. Smith dates back to the Anglo-Saxon era and derives from the occupation of 'smith', from the Old English 'Smid', which means to hit or to strike, and was used to describe someone who worked with metal (a blacksmith for example). The Smith surname would have been given to those with a connection to this occupation, in the era before surnames were inherited. Due to the occupational nature of this surname, there are many diverse branches of the Smith family, and there is believed to be no common line of origin to be traced back to.
The earliest occurrence of the Smith surname in our family history documents is from 1418, and we currently have 24,662,412 records where Smith appears.

My exported data comparison sheet shows In1, IN2 in Type column. What does it means? documentation tells anout _TAG_, _TAG_ etc but nothing about In1, IN2.
 - "Type" is a slightly confusing word but it basically refers to which of the two databases contain a given row.
 - "In1" just means that the database on the left contains the row while the database on the right does not;
 - "In2" means the opposite.
 - "Different" means that both databases have rows with matching values in the column(s) you are using as a comparison key, but some of the data columns have differing values
 - "Identical" means that the same row exists in both databases.
 In the UI we tend to quote the database name in such labels, but this shorthand is used in the exported files to make it easier to parse.

What is a paragon referred to in painting
A paragon is defined as the ideal or perfect example of something. A paragon is something against which everything else is judged or matched to, seen as the ideal form of something. In the case of art, a paragon is typically a model or one who sits for a painting—they are the ideal character or representation for what the artist is attempting to paint.
The term originates from "paragone," an Italian word for a stone to test the purity of gold. It is intended to mean that a paragon is the item or individual against which other things are compared and tested—the perfect example. Additionally, the term "paragone" was used to define a debate between the skill and uniqueness of painting and sculpture in the Renaissance in an attempt to compare the two and determine which was the superior art form.
