Osteoporosis in Children and Adults Following Liver Transplantation
Recruitment status was Active, not recruiting
This pilot project aims to 1) estimate the prevalence of osteoporosis in adults having undergone liver transplantation in childhood, and 2) identify risk factors for osteoporosis in this group. We aim to study 40 individuals.
|Study Design:||Observational Model: Defined Population
Observational Model: Natural History
Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
|Official Title:||Osteoporosis in Children and Adults Following Liver Transplantation|
Background: Osteoporosis is defined as an absolute decrease in the amount of bone (volume and/or density). Chronic liver disease is associated with osteoporosis in both adults and children. Bone density is also decreased in the months immediately after liver transplantation, but improves to pretransplant values after 1 to 2 years. Immunosuppressive agents, most notably steroids, are a cause of osteoporosis. However, studies on adults have shown that bone densities afer transplantation continue to improve within the normal range for healthy adults. In the case of children, bone accretion is necessary for growth. Chronic liver disease and transplantation in childhood will have an adverse effect on bone metabolism and the outcome in terms of bone density after the growth period cannot be predicted on individuals transplanted as adults or other transplant groups.

Frame display timing
From MythTV Official Wiki
Revision as of 22:18, 7 November 2012 by YLee (talk | contribs) (Using cat + /proc: Another possible location)
Jump to: navigation, search
Frame Display Timing Methods
MythTV can make use of several timing methods to control how often frames are drawn in a process known as "page flipping" or "double buffering. Essentially, each frame is drawn to an off-screen buffer that is then "flipped" with the buffer that is being used for the on-screen frame. The next frame is then drawn into the buffer that contained the previously on-screen image while the frame that was just drawn into the off-screen buffer is being displayed.
The flipping of each buffer is controlled by one of the following methods:
Of the three, the video card method is often the most preferable, as buffer flipping should take place during a time when no image is being drawn (during the Vertical Blanking Interval, commonly abbreviated VBI) to prevent the buffer from being flipped before it has been fully drawn. However, the video card method is usually not available on the majority of cards. At the moment, it would appear that only some nVidia drivers support the feature to an extent that MythTV can utilize.
Second to the video card method, it is debatable whether RTC or usleep is better, although usleep is considered to consume more CPU time. Furthermore, some feel that usleep is not as accurate. Again, this is also debateable.
Side Effects of Poor Timing
The most obvious side effect of improper timing in MythTV is an effect known as "frame tearing", and can be seen during horizontal pans in scenes or in scenes where there is a high amount of horizontal motion, as in this example image provided by Intel in their article on video frame synchronization:
An Example of Frame Tearing
Currently, there do not seem to be any other noticeable side effects of poor buffer flip timing other than tearing, but tearing alone can sometimes mean the difference between an enjoyable show and an extremely distracting synchonization problem.
On some systems tearing may be present because of a lack of processing power. Such is the case with ION chipsets where Composite processing is stealing GPU cycles. More on this topic can be found VDPAU Deinterlacing modes and Tearing/Stuttering due to Composite Extension
Determining the Active Timing Method
To determine the method that is currently in use by Mythfrontend, start it from a console with the "-v playback" command-line argument, and begin watching a show, either one that is live or one that has been recorded earlier. Then, stop watching and switch back to the console. Scroll back through the console and look, after all the initial playback messages regarding finding decoders and setting up video surfaces, for something similar to the following:
2012-08-25 14:28:54.541834 I [3783/3783] CoreContext mythplayer.cpp:1737 (InitAVSync) -
Player(l): Video timing method: RTC
2012-08-25 14:28:54.541874 I [3783/3783] CoreContext mythplayer.cpp:1741 (InitAVSync) -
Player(l): Display Refresh Rate: 59.999 Video Frame Rate: 29.970
Receiving the above message would indicate that RTC timing is being used. If something like this appears instead:
2012-08-25 13:13:37.413235 E [3783/3783] CoreContext vsync.cpp:364 (TryInit) - VSYNC:
RTCVideoSync: Could not set RTC frequency:
 eno: Permission denied (13)
It means that Mythfrontend was either unable to read the current clock frequency (probably from /dev/rtc) due to insufficient permissions, or set the clock frequency to a high-enough level to use the timer. Running Mythfrontend as root would permit it to read and set the frequency no matter what the permissions are, but this is not ideal; udev is preferable. Set the frequency to a high value like 1024 outside Mythfrontend, as discussed later. To let Mythfrontend know about the higher frequency, in /etc/udev/rules.d create a file called rtc.rules:
# "rtc0" may be "rtc" depending on whether /dev/rtc and/or /dev/rtc0 exists
KERNEL=="rtc0", MODE="0664"
and reboot.
If the user has an nVidia card, the following message indicates that timing support is broken or unimplemented in the active driver release, and that MythTV will fall back to another method (usually RTC):
2005-01-04 18:21:25 nVidiaVideoSync: VBlank ioctl did not work, unimplemented in this driver?
Contrary to what Mythfrontend may say, VDPAU does not use vsync/vblank timing. RTC should be used instead.
Adjusting the RTC Interrupt Frequency
If MythTV will be using the RTC to time the display, it will usually request a high interrupt frequency, allowing it to time frames more precisely. However, unless MythFrontend is a privileged process, the highest frequency that it can request by default is 64 Hz. This is usually not sufficient for CRT monitors that are often set to a higher frequency, usually 85 or 100 Hz, as well as some LCD screens and projectors that can accept various frequencies, producing the tearing artifacts as mentioned earlier. The most common solution is simply to increase the maximum frequency that an unprivileged process can request from the RTC.
Using cat + /proc
To determine what the current maximum frequency for an unprivileged process is set at, run (as root or using sudo):
cat /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
By default, this will be 64 on most systems. To increase it, issue the following (again, as root):
echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
Verify that it has changed by issuing the "cat" command (above).
You may not find the setting like described above. Another possible location is
/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq
or
/proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
On Ubuntu 9.04
echo 2048 >/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq
echo 2048 >/proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
In some cases, /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq may instead be found at /sys/devices/pnp0/00:05/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq which changes the modification to the following:
 echo 1024 > /sys/devices/pnp0/00\:05/rtc/rtc0/max_user_freq
This may change depending on your hardware. The PCI id may change, for example. According to this link the change of sys nodes is an artifact of newer kernels.
In some Ubuntu configurations /dev/rtc -> /dev/rtc0 is +rw by root only and mythtvfrontend will default to usleep. A fix is found at the LinuxMusicians wiki - system configuration page
Using sysctl
Viewing:
sysctl dev/rtc/max-user-freq
Setting:
sysctl dev/rtc/max-user-freq=1024
/etc/sysctl.conf
Add the desired configuration to /etc/sysctl.conf to apply the values at startup.
$ cat /etc/sysctl.conf
dev.rtc.max-user-freq = 1024

- Judges recuse themselves when they take no part in deciding cases that they would otherwise help decide. The judges to recuse themselves from cases where the judge has a financial interest in the case's outcome or where there is otherwise a strong possibility that the judge's decision will be biased.
- Any party in a lawsuit may request that a judge recuse him or herself.
- This question is the pondering of circumstances where an act of recusal becomes a contravention to that judge's legal responsibility and moral duty to hear a matter and deliver unprejudiced justice.
- Also, are the judges accountable for explaining the reasons for recusal to the concerned parties?
- The professional ethics behind recusal of a judge has to do with the opacity about the reasons as to which the recusal has happened. Since India is a liberal democracy, the citizens expect accountability from public servants. By not giving reasons to recusal the judge is putting herself under speculation by the public.
- If a judge finds out that his brother/ sister judge recused for a specific reason, there could be an inclination from the new judge to give a favorable verdict for the party in whose favor the other judge recused.
- Recusal is not an instance where the judiciary is under threat as the aggrieved party would like to know why a judge has recused.
- Judges must give their reasons in writing for recusing themselves from specific cases.
- There has to be a requirement of statutory obligation on the judges to inform the litigants as to why there is a decision to recuse from hearing. Recusal should be used sparingly like the emergency provision in the Indian Constitution.
and the purpose of recusal is to underpin them - Sir Stephen Sedley

Handle an Unknown Number of Route Parameters in ASP.NET Blazor
To handle an unknown number of route parameters in ASP.NET Blazor, you can define a single route with a wildcard parameter to capture the entire path.
Here's how you can achieve this in Blazor:
 1. Define the Route: Use a route parameter in the @page directive. The wildcard parameter is specified using an asterisk (*). This allows you to capture the entire path as a single string.
 2. Process the Parameters: Once you have the full path, you can split it into individual parameters and process them as needed.
@page "/Monitoring/{**Parameters}"
@inject NavigationManager Navigation

Monitoring

 @foreach (var param in RouteParameters)
 {

@param

 }

[Parameter]
public string Parameters { get; set; }
private List<string> RouteParameters { get; set; } = new();
protected override void OnParametersSet()
{
 var uri = new Uri(Navigation.Uri);
 var path = uri.AbsolutePath;
 // Remove the initial part of the path
 var trimmedPath = path.Substring("/Monitoring/".Length);
 // Split the remaining part of the path by '/'
 RouteParameters = trimmedPath.Split('/', StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).ToList();
}

Symmetry Center: Practice symmetry skills with this fun and engaging math center. Students love recreating flowers along the line of symmetry.
Pattern Block Flowers is my new math pack that works on line of symmetry based on real flowers. It comes with 16 cards, each with a different flower that needs to be completed along the line of symmetry.
Here is how I have been using these cards in my class for the past few years:
This pack includes two work mats, one in color and one in black and white for students to use with the cards. There is also a worksheet for students to create their own flower if they are interested.
Students will pick a flower task card and use pattern blocks to recreate the image along the line of symmetry. This can be challenging at first for kindergarten students, but once they understand how it worksthey love the challenge of it!
real flowers Symmetry Center
All of the flower task cards are based on real flowers, and look similar to them. You can look up pictures of the real flower to show what they look like.

Property Expression Language
The Property Expression Language allows you to extract values of named exchange properties.
From Camel 2.15 onwards the property language has been renamed to exchangeProperty to avoid ambiguity, confusion and clash with properties as a general term. So use exchangeProperty instead of property when using Camel 2.15 onwards.

Example usage
The recipientList element of the Spring DSL can utilize a property expression like:
{snippet:id=e1|lang=xml|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-spring/src/test/resources/org/apache/camel/spring/processor/recipientListWithStringDelimitedProperty.xml}
In this case, the list of recipients are contained in the property 'myProperty'.
And the same example in Java DSL:
{snippet:id=example|lang=java|url=camel/trunk/camel-core/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/processor/RecipientListWithStringDelimitedPropertyTest.java}
And with a slightly different syntax where you use the builder to the fullest (i.e. avoid using parameters but using stacked operations, notice that property is not a parameter but a stacked method call)
java from("direct:a").recipientList().property("myProperty");
Dependencies
The Property language is part of camel-core.

Pickle jars can be reused and repurposed in so many ways. Here at Dundee Gardens, we see them as a perfect vessels for planting. Children attending are asked to bring along a washed and empty glass jar, preferably a large pickle jar or a quart sized ball canning jar (wide mouth jars are easier to work with). The class will be spent creating a living, growing ecosystem with these repurposed jar, which children can take home and continue to observe and enjoy! Plants and soil will be provided.

Array::IntSpan - Handles arrays of scalars or objects using IntSpan techniques
 use Array::IntSpan;
The new version of Array::IntSpan is also able to consolidate the ranges by comparing the adjacent values of the range. If 2 adjacent values are identical, the 2 adjacent ranges are merged.
Ranges of objects ^
Array::IntSpan can also handle objects instead of scalar values.
But for the consolidation to work, the payload class must overload the "", eq and == operators to perform the consolidation comparisons.
When a get_range method is called to a range of objects, it will return a new range of object referencess. These object references points to the objects stored in the original range. In other words the objects contained in the returned range are not copied.
Thus if the user calls a methods on the objects contained in the returned range, the method is actually invoked on the objects stored in the original range.
When a get_range method is called on a range of objects, several things may happen:
Ranges specified with integer fields ^
new (...)
The new method takes an optional list of array elements. The elements should be in the form [start_index, end_index, value]. They should be in sorted order and there should be no overlaps. The internal method _check_structure will be called to verify the data is correct. If you wish to avoid the performance penalties of checking the structure, you can use Data::Dumper to dump an object and use that code to reconstitute it.
Clear the range.
set_range (start, end, value [, code ref] )
This method takes three parameters - the start_index, the end_index, and the value. If you wish to erase a range, specify undef for the value. It properly deals with overlapping ranges and will replace existing data as appropriate. If the new range lies after the last existing range, the method will execute in O(1) time. If the new range lies within the existing ranges, the method executes in O(n) time, where n is the number of ranges. It does not consolidate contiguous ranges that have the same value.
The method returns 0 if there were no overlapping ranges and 1 if there were.
The optional code ref is called back when an existing range is split. For instance if the original range is [0,10,$foo_obj] and set_range is called with [5,7,$bar_obj'], the callback will be called twice:
 $callback->(0, 4,$foo_obj)
It will be the callback responsability to make sure that the range 0-4 and 7-10 holds 2 different objects.
get_range (start, end [, filler | undef, copy_cb [, set_cb]])
This method returns a range (actually an Array::IntSpan object) from start to end.
If start and end span empty slot in the original range, get_range will skip the empty slots. If a filler value is provided, get_range will fill the slots with it.
 original range : [2-4,X],[7-9,Y],[12-14,Z]
 get_range(3,8) : [3-4,X],[7-8,Y]
 get_range(2,10,f) : [3-4,X],[5-6,f],[7-8,Y]
If the filler parameter is a CODE reference, the filler value will be the one returned by the sub ref. The sub ref is invoked with (start,end), i.e. the range of the empty span to fill (get_range(5,6) in the example above). When handling object, the sub ref can invoke an object constructor.
If start or end split an original range in 2, the default behavior is to copy the value or object ref contained in the original range:
 original range : [1-4,X]
 split range : [1-1,X],[2-2,X],[3-4,X]
 get_range(2) : [2-2,X]
If the original range contains object, this may lead to disapointing results. In the example below the 2 ranges contains references (obj_a) that points to the same object:
 original range : [1-4,obj_a]
 split range : [1-1,obj_a],[2-2,obj_a],[3-4,obj_a]
 get_range(2) : [2-2,obj_a]
Which means that invoking a method on the object returned by get_range(2) will also be invoked on the range 1-4 of the original range which may not be what you want.
If get_range is invoked with a copy parameter (actually a code reference), the result of this routine will be stored in the split range outside of the get_range:
 original range : [1-4,X]
 get_range(2) : [2-2,X]
 split range : [1-1,copy_of_X],[2-2,X],[3-4,copy_of_X]
When dealing with object, the sub ref should provide a copy of the object:
 original range : [1-4,obj_a]
 get_range(2) : [2-2,obj_a]
 split range : [1-1,obj_a1],[2-2,obj_a],[3-4,obj_a2]
Note that the obj_a contained in the split range and the obj_a contained in the returned range point to the same object.
The sub ref is invoked with (start,end,obj_a) and is expected to return a copy of obj_a that will be stored in the split ranges. In the example above, 2 different copies are made: obj_a1 and obj_a2.
Last, a 3rd callback may be defined by the user: the set_cb. This callback will be used when the range start or end that holds an object changes. In the example above, the set_cb will be called this way:
 $obj_a->&$set_cb(2,2) ;
As a matter of fact, the 3 callback can be used in the same call. In the example below, get_range is invoked with 3 subs refs: \&f,\&cp,\&set:
 original range : [1-4,obj_a],[7-9,obj_b]
 get_range(3-8,...) : [3-4,obj_a],[5-6,obj_fill],[7-8,obj_b]
 split range : [1-2,obj_a1], [3-4,obj_a],[5-6,obj_fill],
To obtain this, get_range will perform the following calls:
 $obj_fill = &f ;
 $obj_a1 = &cp(5,6,obj_a);
 &set(3,4,$obj_a) ;
 $obj_b = &cp(9,9,obj_b) ;
 &set(7-8,obj_b) ;
lookup( index )
This method takes as a single parameter the index to look up. If there is an appropriate range, the method will return the associated value. Otherwise, it returns undef.
get_element( element_number )
Returns an array containing the Nth range element:
 ( start, end, value )
consolidate( bottom, top, [ set_cb ] )
This function scan the range from the range index bottom to top and compare the values held by the adjacent ranges. If the values are identical, the adjacent ranges are merged.
The comparision is made with the == operator. Objects stored in the range must overload the == operator. If not, the comparison will be made with the standard stringification of an object and the merge will never happen.
If provided, the set_cb will be invoked on the contained object after 2 ranges are merged.
For instance, if the "$obj_a" eq "$obj_b":
 original range : [1-4,obj_a],[5-9,obj_b]
 consolidate(0,1,\&set) : [1-9,obj_a]
And consolidate will perform this call:
 &$set(1,9,obj_a) ;

Doe's any one know the history behind, or background of the multiple naming conventions for the equivalent risk functions. Different quant authors prefer using different names, does any one know why? which came first? why do some quants prefer one over the other. What is the history behind all of this.
ES - expected shortfall
CVaR - conditional value at risk
AVaR - average value at risk
ETL - expected tail loss
share|improve this question
Possibly the biggest road block to learning statistics are the varied and nonsensical naming. "[...]bad names reflect (or even result in) difficulties in understanding." Hurst, Joseph, colours and noises: The importance of names in an important natural behaviour, Demetris Koutsoyiannis itia.ntua.gr/getfile/792/1/documents/… – montyhall Mar 15 '13 at 5:40
2 Answers 2
No specific history. I'm not aware who introduced this measure initially. Most probably it came up as an example in the research papers on coherent risk measure. All names make sense to some extent:
Expected shortfall - as it's an expectation of losses
Conditional Value at Risk - as it can be written as $E[X |X >VaR_α(X)]$, i.e. conditional expectation
Average value at risk - as it can be written as $\frac{1}{1-\alpha}\int_{\alpha}^1VaR_{\beta}(X)d\beta$, which is essentially an average Expected Tail Loss - as it's expectation calculated in the tail of loss distribution
It's also sometimes called Tail VaR.
Personal preferences of people are usually based on their favorite risk management reference book.
share|improve this answer
I have also seen (in rough decreasing importance order): Mean excess loss, Tail conditional expectation and the variant C.T.E., Tail mean, Mean shortfall...
AVaR doesn't seem as common as the other three you mentioned.
Acerbi&Tasche 2002 discuss the difference between CVaR and ES. In practice there's little mention on reasons for each choice and rarely any differences have a significant role so that all variants become equivalent. The different naming flavours mostly originate historically from various areas: very roughly (from my concentrated and relatively limited sample) CVaR seems more en vogue among economists&traders, ES among risk managers, ETL among "statisticians", TVaR in econometrics, CTE among actuaries etc...
For other formulations of ES check also spectral and distortion risk measures.

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea (Japanese: 午後の曳航, meaning The Afternoon Towing) is a novel written by Yukio Mishima, published in Japanese in 1963 and translated into English by John Nathan in 1965.
The novel chronicles the story of Ryuji, a sailor with vague notions of a special honor awaiting him at sea. He meets a woman called Fusako, with whom he falls deeply in love, and he ultimately decides to marry her. Fusako's 13-year-old son, Noboru, is in a band of savage boys who believe in "objectivity", rejecting the adult world as illusory, hypocritical and sentimental.
As Ryuji begins to draw close to Fusako, a woman of the shore, he is eventually torn away from the dreams he's pursued his entire life. Noboru, who shares an especially close bond with his mother through a voyeuristic ritual, hates the idea of losing his mother to a man who has let his hope and freedom die. This anger and fear of loneliness translates into terrible, savage acts performed by Noboru and the gang of which he is a part.
 - Glory and honour
The themes of glory and honour are central to the story, and Mishima explores these ideas mainly through the character Ryuji Tsukazaki.
When Ryuji is first introduced, he is strongly associated with gold, a colour which often has positive connotations of triumph, achievement, and royalty. Gold is often highly regarded and respected, and can symbolise higher ideals. This therefore casts Ryuji as a representation of ultimate glory and honour. Furthermore, it is emphasised that this is "authentic gold", hence removing negative connotations of artificiality and pretentiousness, as well as establishing that Ryuji exists in the real world, and is not simply an illusory dream. Gold could also be a symbol of masculine energy and power, which highlights Ryuji's manliness. This masculinity is a point of pride and honour – Ryuji reflected later in the novel on how the sailor's life "impelled (him) toward the pinnacle of manliness", and agonised over whether he could "give it up". This aligns with the author's ideals as well – Mishima had been obsessed with hyper-masculinity and had strived to attain it himself, as exemplified by his endeavours in body-building.
Ryuji's pursuit of glory deeply affects Noboru. For the thirteen-year-old Noboru, Ryuji is a hero, a "luminous evidence of the internal order of life". Noboru is therefore determined to protect the glorious image of Ryuji after he witnesses Ryuji making love with his mother ""If this is ever destroyed, it'll mean the end of the world." Noboru murmured, barely conscious. I guess I'd do anything to stop that, no matter how awful!" Noboru's obsession with Ryuji and the idea of glory he represents ultimately lead to Ryuji's murder.
Death is strongly associated with glory in Mishima's text. Mishima had said in one of his interviews: "It is natural for me to find it obscene that human beings live only for themselves. You might call this the boredom of living... they get bored living just for themselves... always think of living for some kind of ideal. Because of this, the need to die for something arises. That need is the "great cause" people talked about in the past. Dying for a great cause was considered the most glorious heroic or brilliant way of dying"[1] Thus in a certain way Mishima hereby personifies his ideology in Ryuji's character. When Ryuji was first introduced as an almost god-like figure, attention was drawn to his "dangerous, glittering gaze", hence firmly linking glory with danger, and by extension, death. Glory in the text is also found in the turbulence and uncertainty of the sea and in the danger of death that the sea may bring about: "They were consubstantial: glory and the capsized world. He longed for a storm".
Glory is presented as inherently dangerous in the novel, as evident in how Ryuji felt "glory knifing toward him like a shark from some great distance". The sharp violence and peril associated with knives, as well as the predatory nature of sharks, illustrates the great risks that came with the pursuit of glory.
When Ryuji gives up his Grand Cause and settles onto the land, he loses his life. Before his death, his thoughts drift back to the glory that he has longed to pursue: " Emperor palms. Wine palms. Surging out of the splendor of the sea, death had swept down on him like a stormy bank of clouds. A vision of death now eternally beyond his reach, majestic, acclaimed, heroic death unfurled its rapture across his brain. And if the world had been provided for just this radiant death, then why shouldn't the world also perish for it!"
 - Alienation
The theme of alienation is shown through the isolation of the characters Noboru and Ryuji Tsukazaki. The character Noboru is portrayed as isolated in the book as he seems to not understand all that going around him. The idea of westernisation is also brought into play as Noboru is seen as very traditional yet his mother is westernised, which is seen through a physical description of her room. In the physical description of Fusako's (Noboru's Mother) room, Mishima constantly refers back to where a certain element is imported from. Written through Noboru's perspective we can see that because he is not westernised and is still very much traditional to his culture he notices these elementswhere the item is from. Through this separation due to westernisation the idea of Noboru being alienated is brought up as he is detached from even the closest person to himhis mother. In the book Mishima describes "Noboru couldn't believe he was looking at his mother's bedroom; it might have belonged to a stranger." Through this quote we can see that not only is he not close to his mother but that he feels as though his mother is a stranger which reinforces the idea of alienation.
The theme of alienation is highlighted also by the character Ryuji Tuskazaki due to his detachment to society. Mishima describes ''He grew indifferent to the lure of exotic lands. He found himself in the strange predicament all sailors share: essentially he belonged neither to the land nor to the sea. Possible a man who hates the land should dwell on shore forever." The phrase "belonged neither to the land nor to the sea" implicates the idea of alienation as there is only land and sea, but Tsukazaki belongs to neither which questions the reader where does he belong? As he does not feel as though he belongs to either and perhaps he belongs to this unknown place for himself it connotes the theme of alienation.
In conclusion, both Ryuji and Noboru feel detached to society, and in various degrees and for different reasons, they both try to relieve their isolation. In Fusako, Ryuji finds the anchor for which he has been searching, and moves quickly into the comfortable life of lover and father. Noboru has chosen to turn his loneliness to hatred and seek for strength using murder. The prevalence of alienation and loneliness as a theme can be linked back to Mishima's own background. Not unlike Noboru and The chief, Mishima spent his childhood under the strict rule of his grandmother, while dreaming of a world in which Japan was restored to its original power and glory. Mishima's dislike towards Japan's westernization is reflected through "Chief's contempt of adult nature.
 - Gender roles
The role of females in the novel seem sparse – the main female character is Fusako, who is the love interest of Ryuji and the mother of Noboru. In some ways, she is one of the most important characters in the novel as her relationship with Ryuji is the unbecoming of him in some ways. The balance of their relationship seems quite equal and Fusako is portrayed to be the perfect partner and housewife. She is also portrayed to be an independent woman who is doing better in her business than Ryuji is with his work. She is also seen to be diplomatic with her clients in her business. Male characters dominate the book, but most seem dependent or obsessed with some sort of notion – Ryuji with his quest for glory, Noboru and his need to conform to his 'gang's' ideology, and the chief and his obsession with his ideas surrounding life. Males in the book also seem to be the characters who are pursuing a specific goal, unlike Fusako, who seems to be a

Yarra River extraction for open space irrigation
DELWP, City of Melbourne, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria
As a result of changes in land use in central Melbourne, City of Melbourne and Royal Botanic Gardens have the opportunity to take over licences to extract river water from the Yarra River which is in excess of the needs of the River. In a dense city environment where the delivery of alternative water schemes such as stormwater harvesting or recycled water supply for irrigation can be difficult, the utilisation of 'end of catchment' river water is a valuable possible addition to a water supply portfolio. Securing a fairly reliable alternative water supply could support liveability, sustainability and recreation aims of the Council and the Botanic Gardens.
E2Designlab and CMP were engaged to appraise options for the extraction, treatment and transfer of river water across the city, determining the most efficient scheme and providing a concept design and cost estimate. The extraction of freshwater upstream of Dights Falls required an extensive transfer network to the central city, where several routes were considered, including the reuse of abandoned infrastructure and co-delivery with planned infrastructure. Extraction of brackish water downstream of the Falls was also considered. A comprehensive cost-benefit analysis informed the selection of serviced demands and the selection of the transfer route which would offer the greatest flexibility for the future.
Water Sensitive City Outcomes:
- urban greening
- responsive design for climate
- alternative water supply


Vizhnitz (Hasidic dynasty)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Vizhnitz is the name of a Hasidic dynasty founded by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Hager. Vizhnitz is the Yiddish name of Vyzhnytsia, a village in present-day Ukraine.
Followers of the rebbes of Vizhnitz are called Vizhnitzer Hasidim.
History of dynastic leadership[edit]
Menachem Mendel Hager[edit]
Menachem Mendel Hager was born on May 17, 1830 in Kosiv. He was the son of Rabbi Chaim Hager of Kosiv and the son-in-law of Rabbi Israel Friedman of Ruzhyn. He was appointed Rebbe at the age of 24, and soon after he moved to Vyzhnytsia, a small town close to Kosiv. As his reputation grew, so did his followers. He became known and admired for his charitable acts, sincerity in prayer and love for Eretz Yisrael. In his older years he endeavored to emigrate there. He had two sons, Reb Boruch and another, Reb Yaakov Dovid, who died during his lifetime. His son-in-law was the son of Rabbi Yehoshua Rokeach of Belz, Reb Shmuel of Sokal. His Torah thoughts were published under the title Tzemach Tzaddik. He died on October 18, 1884 and was buried in Vyzhnytsia. His son Reb Boruch took his place becoming the second Rebbe of Vizhnitz.
Boruch Hager[edit]
Boruch Hager was born in 1845 and was named after Rabbi Boruch of Medzhybizh at the behest of his grandfather, Yisroel Friedman of Ruzhyn. In 1885, aged 40 he inherited the mantle of leadership from his father, Menachem Mendel Hager, and became rebbe to thousands of Hasidim. He led them for only eight years until his death in 1892. His Torah thoughts were collected in Imrei Boruch by his son-in-law. Eight of his sons became rebbes in different locals: His eldest, Reb Yisroel, succeeded him in Vyzhnytsia; Reb Chaim became rebbe in Ottynia; Reb Moshe in Suceava; Reb Shmuel Avrohom Abba in Horodenka; Reb Yaakov Yitzchok Dovid in Storozhynets; Reb Pinchos in Borsha; Reb Feivish in Zelishtshik; Reb Yechiel Michel succeeded his brother in Horodenka. Another son, Reb Sholom, died in his youth. His sons-in-law were Reb Shmuel Dov Chodorov of Petriva; Reb Mordechai Chodorov of Kolomea, who published Imrey Boruch; Reb Sholom Yosef Friedman of Sadigur-Chernovitz.
Yisroel Hager[edit]
Yisroel Hager was born on August 20, 1860. He was the first-born son of Rabbi Boruch Hager. He married the daughter of Rabbi Meir Horowitz of Dzhikov. In 1875 he moved to his father-in-law's house and studied at great length with his brother-in-law Rabbi Yehoshua of Dzikov. Three years later he returned to Vyzhnytsia and became very close to his grandfather, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Hager. In 1893 he was appointed as rebbe in Vyzhnytsia. The young rebbe invigorated the dynasty and attracted many more followers from the surrounding provinces. He established many Talmud Torahs, and also a yeshiva, to which he appointed his son Rabbi Menachem Mendel as rosh yeshiva. When the World War I broke out he was forced to move to Grosswardein (Oradea). He lived there until his death on 2 June 1936.[1] In 1949, his remains were transferred to Israel and re-interred in Zichron Meir, Bnei Brak.
His sons were Reb Menachem Mendel of Visheve, Reb Chaim Meir (Chayim Meir'l), who inherited his father's position in Grosswardein; Reb Eliezer of Vyzhnytsia; Reb Boruch of Siret; and Reb Shmuel Abba who died young. He also had six daughters.
Chaim Meir Hager[edit]
After the Holocaust, Reb Chaim Meir settled in Bnei Brak, Israel, to build a community there. Disciples from pre-war Europe gathered around him and formed a comprehensive net of educational and communal institutions. He became a spiritual mentor of the Agudas Yisrael party in the Israeli Knesset. Agudas Yisrael won substantial government aid for Bnei Brak and affiliated communities in return for its support in coalition governments.[2]
Reb Chaim Meir had two sons, the older Moshe (Reb Moshelle) and the younger Mordechai (Reb Mottele).[2]
Reb Chaim Meir's sons-in-law include Rabbis Yidele Horowitz, Yitzchok Yaakov Weiss (both were married to Reb Chaim Meir's daughter, Miriam),[3] and Yisrael Friedman (married to Reb Chaim Meir's daughter, Tziporah. Their son is Hoshea Friedman).[4]
Moshe Yehoshua Hager[edit]
Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Hager, was the Vizhnitser Rebbe in Bnei Brak. He died on March 13, 2012 aged 95.[5] He had two sons and four daughters. His elder son is Rabbi Yisroel, named after his great grandfather, the "Ahavas Yisroel"; his other son is Rabbi Menachem Mendel, named after the founding Vizhnitzer Rebbe, author of Tzemach Tzaddik>Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua's sons-in-law are famous rabbis. The eldest daughter married Rabbi David Twersky, the Skverer Rebbe of New Square, NY. One daughter married Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rokeach, the Belzer Rebbe from Jerusalem. One daughter married Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rebbe from Kiryas Joel, NY. The youngest daughter married Rabbi Menachem Ernster, the rosh yeshiva of the Vizhnitz Yeshiva in Bnei Brak.[6]
Rabbi Yisroel Hager of Bnei Brak
Merkaz Bnei Brak[edit]
Rabbi Menachem Mendel, some years prior to his father's death, established his own community in Bnei Brak. After their father died both brothers assumed leadership in their own respective courts in harmony and peace just a few streets apart. They join in each other's simchos and with love and respect.
Rabbi Mordechai Hager is the Vizhnitzer Rebbe in Monsey born in 1922.[7][8] He is known for his devotion to learning Torah: he studies 18 hours a day and asks his Chasidim to study at least two hours every day. He has about 5,000 followers internationally.[citation needed] He has 14 children, 8 sons and 6 daughters. His sons serve as leaders of his followers' synagogues, in the United States and internationally. The eldest son, Rabbi Pinches Shulem ztl served the Synagogue in Borough Park, Brooklyn, New York; Rabbi Yisroel serves the Synagogue in Monsey, New York; Rabbi Mendel serves the synagogue in Kiamesha Lake, New York; Rabbi Yitzchok Yochonon serves the Synagogue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The other sons serve internationally: Rabbi Aron in Montreal, Canada; Rabbi Duvid in London, UK; Rabbi Eliezer in Jerusalem, Israel and his youngest son, Rabbi Buroch Shamshon, in Beit Shemesh.
Rabbi Eliezer Hager was the Seret-Vizhnitzer Rebbe in Haifa, Israel. He was a first cousin of the rebbes of Bnei Brak and Monsey. He was the older of two sons of Rebbe Boruch Hager, author of Mekor Baruch, who was a son of the Ahavas Yisroel. Rabbi Menachem Dovid Hager is the Shotz-Vizhnitzer Rebbe in Haifa, Israel; he is a nephew of the Seret-Vizhnitzer Rebbe.
The rabbi died on July 7, 2015. TNZBH
Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok[edit]
Rebbe Shmuel Yaakov Kohn, the Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok Rebbe of Jerusalem, was a student of the late Rebbe Chaim Meir of Vizhnitz, and of Rebbe Moshe Yehoshua of Vizhnitz, and has adopted many of the customs of Vizhnitz.

Gargantua the Great, probably the most famous circus animal of the 20th
century, was orphaned when he was only a month old and lived with
missionaries in Africa until a sea captain purchased him and brought
him to Boston in 1931. There, after being disfigured with nitric acid
by a sailor with a grudge against the captain, he was bought by
Gertrude Davies Lintz, who was determined to save the severely burned
gorilla. Mrs. Lintz named him Buddha, "Buddy" for short, and tenderly
nursed him back to health. However, his face was permanently disfigured
and his mouth twisted into a fierce snarl.
In 1937 Lintz offered Buddy, who then weighed an estimated 460 pounds, to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. A delighted Henry Ringling North (Yale '33) renamed him "Gargantua the Great" after one of the giants in Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel. As Gargantua, Buddy was transformed into the greatest of circus attractions by a flamboyant advertising campaign that saved the circus from imminent bankruptcy. For 12 years the circus toured the country and millions stood in line to see the lowland gorilla.
Buddy died of double pneumonia in November 1949 at the age of 20. North donated Gargantua's skeleton to the Yale Peabody Museum in 1950.

Melioidosis, an infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, has a very high risk of mortality when treated, with an even higher risk of fatality if undiagnosed or not treated appropriately. It is endemic to Asia, Australia, South America, and the Caribbean; however, the number of melioidosis cases reported in the United States has been increasing. Therefore, physicians should be aware of this clinical entity and its possible presentations. Mycotic aneurysms due to B. pseudomallei are extremely rare, accounting for ~1%-2% of cases. Here we describe a rare case of melioidosis presenting as a mycotic aneurysm in the United States, highlight the potential for diagnostic challenges and epidemiologic concerns, and provide a review of mycotic aneurysm cases due to B. pseudomallei published to date.

RSS receives ICT green award from IFGICT
The International Federation of Global Information and Communication Technology (IFGICT) presented Ahmed Masadeh, Executive Director of ICT for Development Sector at the Royal Scientific Society (RSS), on behalf of the Royal Scientific Society, a shield of honour in the field of green information technology granted by the federation.
Masadeh highlighted that marking a first for the Middle East and GCC region, the RSS has received the most prestigious award given by the IFGICT, designating it as a "Green Business".
This certification recognises the achievements of key organisations in raising their ICT infrastructures to world-leading standards, according to a RSS statement.
He also added that the Green Business Certificate of quality was awarded based on a comprehensive ICT audit that was carried out over the course of almost a year, during which time the IFGICT representative in Jordan Metanoia Training and Consulting worked closely with the RSS staff.
"With the full and constant support and collaboration of the RSS management, the process of certification was achieved in record time, despite the difficult and challenging times faced due to the corona pandemic," said Masadeh.
The process comprised of several phases, starting with internal documentation control, followed by an internal audit of the infrastructure of the RSS Data Centre and each department of the RSS ICT for Development Sector and, finally, the comprehensive training of relevant RSS staff, he said.
Implementing the IFGICT ICT standards helps committed organisations to achieve coherent ICT quality management to enhance organisational development and greatly improve the quality of services and products provided for stakeholders and customers. It also helps to maximise employee satisfaction and skills-development, he added.
At the end of the ceremony, Samah Alafeef, CEO of Metanoia Training and Consulting as a MENA Regional Officer of the IFGICT presented the award to the RSS. Whereas Belal Ayoub, IFGICT Jordan Officer, presented the RSS project team with certificates of appreciation for their outstanding efforts.

Under Texas law, a business may incorporate. If it chooses to do so, it is thereafter recognized as its own legal entity. After incorporation, buying and selling property, assenting to contracts and exercising legal rights are considered acts of the business itself and not its owners. A business seeking to incorporate in Texas must file with the Secretary of State in accordance with established guidelines.
Benefits of Incorporation in Texas
There are distinct benefits to incorporating a business. Most importantly, liabilities the business accrues may be satisfied only by assets that the owners have specifically invested in it. With unincorporated businesses, personal property of owners can be liquidated in order to satisfy the liabilities of the business. A corporation also allows creditors in the Fate area to assess the credit worthiness of the business as a whole rather than that of its owners, allowing the business to obtain loans more easily. Lastly, a corporation's ownership stake is divided into equal slices or "shares" of stock, which make investments in the business much easier to transfer.
Costs of Incorporation
There are costs associated with incorporation, both short and long term. First, businesses in Texas may be charged a fee to incorporate. Also, a corporation is taxed as its own entity. Disbursements to the owners of the corporation are also taxed as individual income, so this means earnings may be taxed twice. But this double taxation can be avoided with proper planning and help from a local Fate lawyer.

Suppose I have an array of non-repeating decimal numbers:
v1 = 0.0588235294117647, 0.1428571428571429, 0.0526315789473684, 0.0769230769230769
I would like to convert this to an array of integers by multiplying/dividing all the elements by a single number:
v2 = 1729, 4199, 1547, 2261
All numbers need to be in their most simple form as well. To clarify, this is the solutions column of a matrix with one free variable. I need to make that variable equal something that makes the entire column consist of whole integers.
I've tried a bunch of things, but nothing seems to work all the time.
I need some type of algorithm so that I can automate this process.

I see no relationship between these values. Where did you get them? How did you arrive at those integers? – duffymo Dec 24 '11 at 2:33
It's unclear what you want the relationship between v1 and v2 to be. – Greg Hewgill Dec 24 '11 at 2:33
v1 and v2 are simply examples to demonstrate what I meant by "non-repeating decimal vector" and "whole integer vector" respectively. I just made them up for this post. Sorry about that. – George Costanza Dec 24 '11 at 2:34
Why not multiply each number by 10 until they all become integral? – mtrw Dec 24 '11 at 2:34
You could multiply v1 * 0, that's whole. – Greg Hewgill Dec 24 '11 at 2:36

Based on your comment on the other answer, your question seems to be how to scale a vector up so that all the values are integral.
This is not an easy task as you essentially need to find fractional approximations for all the numbers in v1.
Related: Algorithm for finding the ratio of two floating-point numbers?
There are essentially 2 main approaches to do this depending on what kind of numbers you want:
1) The easy way: You could multiply the vector by 2 until everything becomes integral. This is guaranteed to happen since all current systems use binary floating-point. This is essentially the first answer in the above question.
There is one major drawback to this approach. If your numbers are like:
you will get very "weird" (and potentially large) results. (you will not get: 20, 6, 15 which is the desired answer)
2) The hard way: This approach is to use continued fractions on each element of v1 to turn it into an array of fractions. Then multiply every element by the LCM of all the denominators. This is essentially the second answer in the above question.
The drawback of this approach is that it's math intensive and complicated. So you're better off just copying the implementation in that answer. The advantage is that it will give better results.

If I understand you correctly you want to do something that ay result in very very large integers.
You want to find an integer (preferably smallest possible, but that may not be fast to find) that is a multiple of 3._PHONE_, call it m1. Then do the same so you have m1, m2, m3, m4. Then you want to find their lowest common multiple lcm(m1, m2, m3, m4) or just use m1*m2*m3*m4 to avoid compute lcm. And multiply your vector v1, by the result. This will result in enormous integers in your vector (which will almost always not be able to be stored in 64 bits).
So say for your above numbers you could easily pick:
m1 = 33837475943
m2 = 89391713934747847847
m3 = 23282781272732734
m4 = 32838723

You may want to use the Fast Fourier Transform to multiply your m's since they are quite large you can have O(n log(n)) multiplication instead of, but I don't know if these numbers are large enough for it to really be beneficial.

Basically, right. Then I want to reduce it to its "simplest" form, which would require dividing uniformly by some number. – George Costanza Dec 24 '11 at 3:01
_USER_ If you pick the smallest multiple (rather than just multiplying by a power of 10 for each number, and use the lowest common multiple of the result instead of m1*m2*m3*m4 you will have the result. Otherwise you could do it the above way and then find the greatest common divisor of the numbers in your v2 and divide them all by that. – Paulpro Dec 24 '11 at 3:05
_USER_ I reccomend that second way actually. You can use this gcd(a,b) = gcd(b,a mod b) with a > b to find the gcd of two numbers quite fast. You need to find the gcd of n (say 4 like in your example) large numbers, then use gcd(v[1], gcd(v[2], gcd(v[3], v[4])))' – Paulpro Dec 24 '11 at 3:07

When selecting a suitable pyranometer for photovoltaic (PV) monitoring, Solare Datensysteme GmbH selected the Lufft WS501-UMB All-in-one weather station.
According to the Company, the WS501-UMB Pyranometer delivers the most precise measurements for the overall irradiance and serves to measure the exact local prevailing overall irradiance at large plants.
Benefits of the WS501 All-in-One Sensor:
Calibrated high precision device to measure the irradiance at a plant.
Smart integration into Solar-Log web portal - thereby recording of the energy efficiency of a PV plant (direct comparison of PV plants with a pyranometer).
Measurement of weather data such as temperature, wind speed, wind direction, humidity and air pressure. This provides information on the influence of weather conditions on the performance of a PV plant.
Another Company - Meteocontrol GmbH, also uses the compact weather stations WS501-UMB and WS600-UMB with their PV monitoring.

- mollify •
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: 1. To calm, soothe, or allay anger. 2. To temper, to reduce severity or harshness, as to mollify the language of a law. 3. (Obsolete) To soften, to make less hard and more flexible, as to mollify the beard with warm water and soap before shaving.
Notes: Today's Good Word comes with a complete complement of derivations. Those who mollify are mollifiers who engage in the mollification of those who are mollifiable, speaking to them in soothing, mollient tones.
In Play: This word is used most often when someone is distraught and beside themselves: "Lester became hysterical when his wife suggested that her mother stay with them for a while and nothing she could say would mollify him." It is often used in reference to softening the language in a document, too: "Could we somehow mollify the section on punishment for office hanky-panky?" Don't confuse this word with modify, which could refer to softening or stiffening.
Word History: Today's Good Word is a slight modification of Old French mollifier, the French modification of Latin mollificare "to make soft, mollify". The Latin verb was created from mollis "soft" + a variation of facere "to make". The root of mollis also turns up in emollient, a softener, and mollusk, the hard-shelled sea creature with the soft, edible innards. That root was originally mol-/melwith an E-variant that turned into words meaning "grind", for example, English mill and meal, the softened grain product that goes into bread-making. Milling grain apparently was originally seen as softening it for cooking. With different suffixes, it drifted away to various other concepts of softness, such as English melt and Russian molodoi "young". (Let us mollify any fears Husain Mustfa might have about our thanking him by saying, "Thank you," for suggesting today's Good Word.)

the same amount.
There are plenty of vegan mac and cheese recipes which use cashew milk. It is not as popular as almond milk.
One down side is cashew milk cannot be used for someone who is allergic to nuts. Which is why you should use a cereal based milk.
10. Soy Milk
 - Taste Difference = Less Sweet! Mild Tasting!
 - Creaminess Level = Thicker Than Almond Milk! (Made with thickeners to improve consistency).
 - Cooking Tip: Use unsweetened unflavored soy milk.
Soy milk can be used for making mac and cheese. As long as you are using a unflavored version. Otherwise a vanilla flavored one will be too strong.
The vanilla will make the mac and cheese taste very different. This is not recommended.
You can still use it, but the flavor will be a lot sweeter.
11. Almond Milk
 - Taste Difference = Sweeter!
 - Creaminess Level = Less Creamy!
 - Cooking Tip: Add more cheese or butter to thicken and make creamier.
Almond milk has enough of a neutral taste. Using it as a alternative to milk will not change your mac and cheese much.
Use the same amounts of almond milk as you would regular milk. Almond milk is slightly thinner and less creamy, so you can add thickeners like flour.
Also you could add in more butter or extra cheese to get the sauce creamier.
12. Hemp Seed Milk
 - Taste Difference = More Nutty Flavor!
 - Creaminess = More Creamy!
 - Cooking Tip: Use slightly less hemp milk than regular milk.
Hemp seed milk can be made faster than other milks. Since you don't have to strain it.
When using hemp seed milk for mac and cheese. There is going to be more of a nutty flavor.
Hemp seed milk is thicker than regular milk. So your mac and cheese will be creamier.
Since the flavor is earthy and nutty, you can use less hemp milk than regular milk. Add in some water to help spread it out, this is if you don't want to change the flavor of the mac and cheese much.
13. Oat Milk
 - Taste Difference = Sweeter!
 - Creaminess Level = About The Same as 2% Milk!
 - Cooking Tip: Use unsweetened oat milk.
Oat milk has more natural sugars and this leads to a sweeter flavor. The thickness is similar to regular milk.
Don't use it to get a creamier mac and cheese. Since its not naturally thicker, although it is thicker than most nut milks.
Follow the recipe and use equal amounts of oat milk as you would dairy milk.
14. Rice Milk
 - Taste Difference = Very Close To Cow's Milk!
 - Creaminess Level = Less Creamy!
 - Cooking Tip: May require some extra butter, or other thickeners.
Rice milk does taste similar to cows milk. So you will not ruin the mac and cheese. Rice milk is much more watery than regular milk.
This will not create a creamy mac and cheese, so add in more butter or cheese.
Overall I would not recommend using rice milk as an alternative. Since it is low in protein and has not added benefit.
15. Coconut Milk
 - Taste Difference = Coconut flavor!
 - Creaminess Level = More Creamy!
 - Cooking Tip: Use unsweetened.
You can find several recipes online using coconut milk for mac and cheese.
The best kind to use would be unsweetened, full fat coconut milk. Canned coconut milk works the best. It is much thicker and creamier.
The biggest downside is the coconut flavor, which is going to change the mac and cheese quite a bit.
16. Macadamia Milk
 - Taste Difference = Less flavor than dairy milk. No nutty flavor at all.
 - Creaminess Level = Very similar consistency but slightly less creamy than regular dairy skim milk.
 - Cooking Tip: Use equal amounts as you would dairy milk.
Macadamia milk is like a high end alternative to dairy milk. You will find it to be very similar in consistency to dairy milk and also is said to have a butter like taste.
There aren't many recipes online using macadamia milk for mac and cheese. Maybe because its become more popular recently.
I think you might find it to be one of the best choices for a milk substitute.
17. Pea Milk
 - Taste Difference = Flour and bitter taste, very similar to soy milk.
 - Creaminess Level = Thicker and "chalky" consistency compared to dairy milk.
 - Cooking Tip = Not much different than dairy milk. Use equal measurements as regular dairy milk. Maybe add in extra cheese to mask flavor more.
Pea milk can be a healthy alternative to dairy milk because it is high in protein. One of the problems is the flavor of regular unsweetened pea milk isn't well received.
This shouldn't be as much of a problem when making macaroni and cheese. As the cheese will mask the less desirable flavors.
The flavor can be described as being very similar to soy milk. Pea milk is slightly off white and darker in color than regular milk.
18. Hazelnut Milk
 - Taste Difference = Nutty and more sweet taste!
 - Creaminess Level = About as creamy as dairy milk.
 - Cooking Tip: Use sugar free and don't worry about thickening.
Hazelnut milk can be another option if you are trying to make a vegan mac and cheese. Also if you are trying to avoid dairy milk.
The taste of hazelnut milk is less bitter than other nut milks.
You will find that hazelnut milk is more expensive than other nut milks. Around $6 a gallon, which is more than dairy and double the price of soy or almond milk.
Can You Make Mac n Cheese Without Milk?
Macaroni and cheese does need a lot of liquid to help mix in the powder cheese and keep it from becoming too sticky. Milk works really well as the flavor isn't too strong or watery but also just creamy enough. But if you wanted to make mac and cheese without milk it is still possible.
In order to make mac and cheese without milk use either cream cheese or butter and melted cheese. Instead of a powdered cheese which requires a lot of liquid you can use shredded, cream or even slices of cheese. Heat the cheese and butter in a separate pan then drain your boiled noodles and combine the two.
Another method is to make a baked macaroni and cheese. You are going to want to make a cheese sauce. Which is much easier with cream cheese. Most recipes use whole milk and even flour for the cheese sauce. Either whip cream or cheese sauce should give you enough creaminess without having to use milk.

Browning Trail Cameras are triggered by two things: motion and a variance in temperature. The trail camera is able to do this by using a Passive Infrared (PIR) detector. Below we have provided some basic points on how the PIR operates.
- The detection zone is cone shaped and extends outward from the camera. The closer to the camera the subject is the tighter the detection zone. The further away from the camera the subject is the wider the detection zone. At a distance of 10' in front of the camera the detection zone is approximately 5' wide.
- Browning Trail Cameras are able to detect animals or people by sensing changes in infrared light that occurs when the subject enters the cameras detection zone.
- Large animals, such as deer and elk, are easier to detect than smaller animals, such as birds and raccoons.
- It is always best if you can capture the subject moving through the detection zone at an angle versus straight towards the camera. This makes both the motion and temperature variance more visible to the camera.
- PIR sensors work best when there is a good difference in temperature between the animal and the outside temperature.
- Small leaves or twigs should not produce many false triggers based on how the camera operates. However, if a large branch moves due to wind the camera can see both the movement of the branch and the temperature behind the branch it generally cannot see causing the camera to trigger.
Browning Trail Cameras do not have a sensitivity adjustment. We believe that our cameras are designed to achieve peak performance and therefore should need no further adjustments.


Berry gilt strips tax avoidance arrangement fails on appeal to the Upper Tribunal
15 April 2011. Published by Adam Craggs, Partner
The Upper Tribunal (Lewison J) ('UT') has dismissed the taxpayer's appeal against the First-tier Tribunal's ('FTT') decision that he was not entitled to relief for losses suffered as a result of a gilt strip tax planning arrangement – Berry v HMRC [2011] UKUT 81.
The UT, applying the Ramsay principle, determined that the word "loss" in the context of the relevant discounted securities legislation (paragraph 14A, Schedule 13, Finance Act 1996 now sections 427 to 460, Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005) meant a real loss, that is, a loss that arose from real commercial outcomes. In reaching his conclusion, Lewison J noted that there is a general expectation that when Parliament uses a word like "loss" it means a commercial loss but that that expectation can be displaced by the express terms of the statute (for example, by an algebraic or artificial approach to quantifying the loss). The UT also determined that the FTT had made no error in law in treating all the steps in the transaction as a single transaction and in disregarding the "anti-Ramsay" device. The FTT's view of the facts was, in the UT's view, a realistic one.


canceling has also come to
refer to the act of stopping a string prematurely to use an attack that isnt
part of the string. This is called "canceling into". For example, Jin's
5 hit Kazama style combo hits low with the final hit and has no variations.
Players familiar with this attack will either guard low or parry low to stop
the final hit from connecting. To avoid giving your opponent the advantage
by finishing the combo, you instead cancel into a hop kick or some other
medium attack to hit them as they crouch to parry or block the attack.
Granted there is some delay in this, and you are in fact at a disadvantage.
The idea of canceling like this is to regain your advantage by attacking
before your opponent realizes he has the advantage. Lastly, it is often wise
to cancel 10 hit strings prematurely as they have many guard points.
Chain/String: A chain or string is a series of attacks or motions. Many
chains are already programmed as part of a characters move selection, but it
is possible to create custom strings assuming each move or action you take
leaves you with an advantage against your opponent. Chains are not to be
confused with combos. The difference being that the attacks of a combo are
guaranteed to connect while those of a string are not.
Chicken: The term chicken doesnt reference a bird in Tekken but rather a
defensive action. When a standard reversal is used against one of your
attacks you can perform a chicken to negate the reversal and deal a small
amount of damage to your opponent. Note that the window to perform a chicken
is very small. The command input for a chicken is always the same regardless
of character or which standard reversal is used. The command input for a
chicken is determined by whether the attack being reversed is with a left
limb or right limb. If your left punch or kick is being reversed the command
input would be forward+left punch+left kick. If your right punch or kick is
being reversed the command input would be forward+right punch+right kick. If
you use an attack that requires you to press 2 or more buttons simultaneously
you must make a mental note as to which of your characters 4 limbs are
actually forming the attack. It is sometimes easier to find this out by
having these multi-button attacks reversed by the computer during defensive
training. Not to be confused with attacks using 2 buttons simultaneously
are attacks that attack with 2 limbs simultaneously. These attacks, almost
always employing the left and right punches are chickened with a command
input of forward+left punch+right punch.
The reversal animation will be different depending on which limb
is being reversed. seeing the reversal animation is the most definitive
way of determining which command input to use for a successful chicken.
Note that many special reversals look just like standard
Clean Hit: Some attacks in Tekken can hit more directly or cleanly than
others. Clean hits do more damage and often have an added effect such as
knocking your opponent away or down. Clean hits are achieved by connecting
with an attack at very close range even when it would be possible to connect
with the attack from a greater range.
Combo: A combo is a series of attacks or strings that are guaranteed to
connect after the first attack connects. The first hit of most combos
usually incapacitates your opponent. Juggles are the most common example of a
Combo, Natural: Some of the pre-programmed strings that many characters have
are natural combos. This means that if the first hit in the string connects
some or all of the other attacks in the string will connect. Other strings
may function as a natural combo only if the first hit is a counter hit.
Natural combos are quick ways to retaliate dealing a lot of damage, but you
must be sure to confirm your first hit, be aware of the evade points and
whether the string is safe if its blocked to avoid taking unnecessary damage.
Counter Hit: Any attack can be a counter hit. An attack becomes a counter
hit when it connects with an opponent who is in the midst of an action other
than simple movement. Counter hits do more damage and often have an added
effect such as knocking your opponent down or farther up into the air. Most,
if not all, characters have one or more attacks that incapacitate their
opponent on a counter hit providing you with combo options. A super charge
will cause your very next attack to be a counter hit if it connects. The
command input for a super charge is...
left punch+right punch+left kick+right kick.
Crouch: Crouching in Tekken is the act of kneeling. Crouching will avoid
high attacks and allow you to guard yourself against low attacks. It also
puts you in a position to perform "while-rising" attacks.
Crouch Dash: A crouch dash is a combination of both crouching and dashing. A
crouch dash will avoid high attacks, but you will not be able to guard
against low attacks. Note that not all characters have a crouch dash.
Those that do will almost always have several moves they can only use out of
a crouch dash. These crouch dash moves are in addition to the "while-rising"
attacks they can normally perform while crouching. The command input for
most characters crouch dash is forward, down, down+forward.
Crush: Some attacks have the benefit of avoiding a particular hit type during
their animation. These attacks are called crushing attacks. A hop kick for
example is a low crushing attack as it will completely avoid low attacks
during its animation. Similarly, characters with a high crushing attack can
easily crush opponents who try to lock them down with unpredictable jab
Dash: All characters can dash. A dash is a quick movement towards your
opponent. Most if not all characters have several special attacks or
motions that can be used during a dash. The command input for dashing is
forward, forward.
Dash, Backwards: All characters can dash backwards. A back dash is a quick
movement away from your opponent. There are no attacks or moves that are
used out of a standard back dash that I'm aware of. There are however some
attacks that move a character back while attacking. The command input for a
back dash is back, back. Despite the backward movement of your character,
you are vulnerable while back dashing. To mitigate your vulnerability while
back dashing you have 2 options. First you can hold back the second time
you press it. This will result in a shorter back dash, but you will be able
to guard sooner. Your second option is a back dash cancel which is done by
tapping back and down just after you input your second back. Your character
will crouch for a split second in the middle of the dash. Only during the
very tiny window of the crouch are you vulnerable making this perhaps the
best way of back dashing.
Dash, Special: Not all characters have special dashes. Most special dashes
are back dashes. Special dashes will usually cover more ground than standard
dashes. Some characters have attacks or motions that can use out of their
special dashes. The command input for most special dashes is up, up+back.
Another less common command input for special dashes is down, down+back,
Defensive: Like aggressive, this usually references a play style. A
defensive play style revolves around guarding your opponents attacks waiting
for mistakes to take advantage of. Any offensive maneuvers used by a
defensive player will usually be "safe hits". The drawback to this play
style is that you will be voluntarily giving your opponent the advantage for
the majority of the match. This puts a lot of pressure on one's defensive
skills, but if they are good enough, defensive players can be extremely
difficult to defeat. Note that if guard damage is turned on a defensive
play style is not as viable.
Delay: Some moves in Tekken can be delayed. Delaying a move is a type of
feint or deception. If used properly in conjunction with other attacks it
often gives your opponent the impression that they now have the advantage.
Naturally you attack when you have the advantage. Therein lies the deception
of a delayed attack. In actuality you still possess the advantage. Almost
all delayed attacks that connect are counter hits.
Disadvantage: Being at a disadvantage means you are not in a position to act
before your opponent. Having the disadvantage isnt as bad as it sounds at
first. Advantage and disadvantage shifts rapidly during a fight. It is also
important to note that you are still able to attack and even connect while
you are at a disadvantage. However, successful attacks while at a
disadvantage usually involve evading your opponents attack. In fact many
characters have attacks that seem to have been specifically designed to be
used while at a disadvantage such as Jin's Low Spinning Back Kick
(back+down+left kick). This attack hits high while evading high attacks. As
you might have guessed the majority of counter hits during a game occur when
you or your opponent attack while at a disadvantage.
Escape: Escapes are performed in response to throws.

PHOENIX PROCESS™ PULP DIFFERENCES
Due to the milder technology used, the process is done at lower temperature without high pressure tanks. This results in using significantly less energy and lower cost of ton to produce. 20 million KWh less electrical usage which is the equivalent energy to power 3,000 homes.
Process uses between 1/8th and 1/10th the water of a traditional wood pulping process
Washington Department of Ecology has permitted the process as a minor source impact on air. A traditional wood pulp mill utilizes sulfur compounds resulting in NOX & SOX emissions and resulting permitting, controls and regulations. The Phoenix Process is sulfur free thus no traditional pulp mill odors
A mill utilizing the Phoenix Process will have minimal discharge with the process water being recycled or going out as an additional product. Additionally there is minimal solid waste
Because the basic raw material is a waste product and due to the low impact of the process (energy use, chemical usage and fiber yield), operating costs are a fraction of the competing wood fiber mills (between 50 and 60% of their costs)

activities that can help regulate hyperactivity in individuals with autism?
Yes, sensory activities can play a crucial role in regulating hyperactivity in individuals with autism. Engaging in sensory activities can provide calming input and help individuals with autism regulate their sensory systems. Some effective sensory activities include deep pressure activities, such as using a weighted blanket or receiving a gentle massage, which can provide a sense of grounding and relaxation.
Other sensory activities that can help regulate hyperactivity include using a sensory swing or trampoline, engaging in water play, or playing with sensory toys like stress balls or sensory bins. It's important to observe and understand an individual's sensory preferences and sensitivities to ensure that the chosen sensory activities are appropriate and beneficial for that individual. If you're unsure about which sensory activities to try, consulting with an occupational therapist or sensory integration specialist can provide expert guidance.
4. Can medication help manage hyperactivity in individuals with autism?
Medication can be a viable option for managing hyperactivity in individuals with autism, but it should always be considered as part of a comprehensive treatment plan and in close consultation with a healthcare provider. Certain medications, such as stimulant medications, can help reduce hyperactivity and improve attention and impulse control. However, medication should always be prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical professional who specializes in autism spectrum disorder.
It's important to note that medication is not the only approach or solution for managing hyperactivity in autism. Behavioral interventions, therapy, and other strategies should also be incorporated to address the underlying causes and provide holistic support. Each individual with autism is unique, so it's crucial to work closely with healthcare professionals to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment approach.
5. How can caregivers support individuals with autism during episodes of hyperactivity?
Caregivers play a vital role in supporting individuals with autism during episodes of hyperactivity. One important factor is to remain calm and patient. Demonstrating a calm attitude can help create a more soothing environment, which can aid in regulating the individual's emotions and behaviors. It's also essential to provide clear and consistent communication, using simple and concise language to convey expectations and instructions.
Engaging in calming activities, such as deep breathing exercises or listening to calming music, can also help individuals with autism during episodes of hyperactivity. Lastly, offering reassurance and support, while acknowledging the individual's emotions, can provide a sense of security and comfort. Remember, each individual with autism is unique, so it's crucial to understand their specific needs and preferences and tailor the support accordingly.
Summary
If you have a friend or family member with autism who is hyperactive, there are things you can do to help. First, create a structured environment with consistent routines and clear rules. Make sure they have a quiet and organized space to relax. Second, provide them with plenty of physical activities to burn off energy, like going for walks or playing sports. Lastly, teach them calming techniques such as deep breathing and using a sensory tool.
Remember, everyone with autism is unique and what works for one person may not work for another. So, be patient and understanding. With love and support, you can help your loved one with autism manage their hyperactivity and live a happier, more peaceful life.
