Transit Time Measurement
A transit time X-ray measures the time it takes for food to go through the colon. The person takes special capsules by mouth twice a day for five days. Each capsule has twelve X-ray markers. Each day, the person takes a total of twenty-four markers. This averages out to one every hour.
Xray of the pelvic areaOn the sixth day, an X-ray of the abdomen is taken and we count the number of markers left in the person's colon. This tells about how long it takes for food to go through the colon. If there are eighty-six markers, it takes eighty-six hours. If there are only twenty-four markers, it takes twenty-four hours.
The average normal transit time is thirty-five hours. The upper limit of normal is seventy-two hours. If it takes more than seventy-two hours to go through the body, and all other tests are normal, then we make the diagnosis of colonic inertia (slow transit).
It is important to avoid the use of all laxatives and enemas during the five days before a transit time X-ray. However, it is fine to continue Natural Vegetable Powder, or other fiber supplements, in a normal dose.

 1. Xylaria
 Xylaria is a genus of ascomycetous fungi commonly found growing on dead wood. The name comes from the Greek xýlon meaning wood. Two of the common species of the genus are Xylaria hypoxylon and Xylaria polymorpha. Xylaria hypoxylon, known by the common names stag's horn and candle-snuff fungus, is the most conspicuous because of its erect, 3–7 cm tall, antler-like ascocarps which are black at the base but white and branched towards the top, where the fruiting bodies produce white conidia. Xylaria polymorpha, dead man's fingers, often grows in finger-like clusters from the base of a tree or from wood just below ground level. This is a primary fungus utilized in the spalting of sugar maple and other hardwoods. Xylaria longipes, known by the common names dead moll's fingers and pénis de bois mort, allegedly improves the quality of the wood used in string instruments. It has not been linked to spalting of maple.

FIBA, the international governing body of basketball, has demonstrated its dedication to sustainability by unveiling an MVP trophy crafted entirely from 100% recycled materials. This significant initiative took place during the FIBA 3×3 World Tour 2023 held in Edmonton, Canada.
The design of the trophy was entrusted to Sustain Awards, and it has been meticulously crafted using sustainable methods and techniques, employing 100% recycled waste packaging as its foundation.
This innovative approach has led to a remarkable 75% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions throughout the trophy's entire manufacturing process compared to a conventional trophy. This encompassing reduction covers various aspects such as materials, packaging, and transportation.
Furthermore, this environmentally conscious process effectively offsets a total of five tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e). This figure is equivalent to the impact of removing 397 cars from the road for a single day.
Alex Sanchez, the Managing Director of FIBA 3×3, emphasised the significance of this trophy in symbolising FIBA 3×3's strong commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. He expressed pride in being at the forefront of introducing an environmentally-friendly trophy, which stands as a testament to FIBA 3×3's dedication to sustainability and innovation.
Sanchez remarked, "Our objective was to create a trophy that had minimal environmental impact while evoking a sense of pride for its recipients. The introduction of this captivating MVP trophy reflects our achievement of precisely that goal."
Incorporating this groundbreaking MVP trophy represents a substantial stride forward for FIBA 3×3, resonating with the concerns of both players and fans regarding the well-being of our planet. The environmentally-friendly addition to the FIBA 3×3 World Tour 2023 is anticipated to garner widespread appreciation and acknowledgment.

My project assumes quite big integration with external webservices. Unfortunately first major service is SOAP and second is REST.
Problem is that there are getting more and more places in the code where for example SOAP callout needs some value from different REST callout. Putting this methods inside one wrapper is impossible for me to test since Apex is allowing only to mock one type of callout at the time (either REST or SOAP).
Question: How to create unit test with mocks for both callouts to achieve 100% code coverage of the wrapper method?
Without getting into specifics ( partially because there aren't any, and also because I've only dabbled in this area ) you want to leverage a pattern called Dependency Injection.
Essentially, the idea is to separate your code & calls so that you can pass the result of a call into a helper class. This lets you create mock results in your test class, and test specific parts of a larger system without needing to make a large number of calls. A very simple example is below.
Response response = Caller.Call(); // Calls rest api
Handler.Handle(response); // Handler calls soap api
// In the test, you can create a "mock" object of a response, and pass that to your handler.
Response testResponse = new Response(... ); // Doesnt call rest api, but has a identical response
Handler.Handle(testResponse); // calls soap api
You might have done something close to this - maybe you have a test which has some json in a certain format, which your code is supposed to get from a webservice. Instead of calling the service, you fake a call, and return this explicit json instead. The idea here is exactly the same!
You'll probably need more than one wrapper, and an overhaul of your code in order to make it testable. This is something thats best designed from the start with testing in mind (which is where test-driven development comes from).
Specifically, on the platform, the Stub API is provided to help mock methods. This would be a good place to start looking & designing around.
Heres a better example of setting up a mock (without the stub api):
public void MakeCall(Caller c) {
 Response r = c.Call(); // rest
// Test class
public interface Caller {
 public Response Call();
public class MyCaller inherits Caller {
 public Response Call() {
 return RestApi.Call(); // Valid call out
public class MockCaller inherits Caller {
 public Response Call() {
 return new Response(... ); // pre-set result - can vary result for mult. tests

Rare British Flowers - The Spring Gentian
What Is A Spring Gentian?
You might never have heard of a Spring Gentian, and you are probably not alone. This wild flower, native to the UK, is one of the least prolific flowers that you will see on a forest walk. It's Latin name is Gentiana Verna Gentians, and it is generally found at higher altitudes.
Where In The UK Can I Find It?
Although variations of the Gentian can be found in various locations throughout Europe, in the UK the flower can generally only be found in one of two locations: Teesdale, and Western Ireland.
Teesdale in the UK
The Gentian generally prefers Chalky soils, which further reduces it's ability to become a prolific species. As noted, it's rare appearance in the United Kingdom is a feature that also characterises the flower throughout Europe, so much so that the flower has been designated as an 'Endangered Species'.
History And Folklore
 The flower was first discovered in the UK by John Harriman, and now serves as the county flower of Durham, in England's north.
Holly Somerville's drawing of the flower has since become the logo for the botany department in Trinity College Dublin, and has also appeared on a British stamp issued in 1964.
As with most things that are rare, the reputation of the flower has led to various superstitions being formed regarding it. For instance, bringing the flower into a house would risk the offending individual running the risk of being struck by lightning! Also, death, the ultimate penalty was said to follow anyone who picked the flower. However, the threat of the death penalty for picking the flower has not increased it's abundance, although it could arguably be said that it may have stopped it's extinction!
The Takeaway
It is unlikely that you will ever see a Gentian in the UK, unless you visit Teeside or Western Ireland. Even then, it would require a foreknowledge of what you are looking for in order to identify it.
Should you be planning a trip, familiarize yourself with this rare flower, you could be one of the relatively few British folk who have set eyes upon it.

Rare Collectors Items - The Morgan Dollar
 The Morgan(Silver) Dollar I have been in love with the Morgan Dollar for many years. Frankly, for me, it is one of the more collectible coins that I have treasured. It is, a brand of Silver coin that ranks along with the 'Canadian Maple' in terms of it's esteemed value. A Brief History Of The Morgan Dollar The Morgan Dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904. However, it was again commissioned in 1921, which year now forms the most common Morgan Dollars that you will likely find in a collection. After 1921, the mantle of popular Silver Dollar arguably went to the Peace Dollar. However, whilst also iconic, the Peace Dollar in my estimation, is not as valuable a brand as it's older cousin. Frankly, the 2 coins, whilst both consisting, to a large degree, of Silver, represent two completely different periods of United States history. And, as such, will evoke different feelings of worth in the minds of different collectors, depending on their familiarity, and affection for stag
Rare British Cars - The Ford Sierra
 What Is Rare About The Ford Sierra? Ford has always mass produced cars that have been familiar sites on roads throughout the World. The Sierra is no different. Reportedly, the total production between 1982 and 1993 is 3,470,524. This probably means that if you bought into Ford advertising in this period, that you may well have owned one! As with all mass produced cars, they tend to not keep up with the latest innovations, especially, when the latest 'new' release can trumpet these.So, it is no surprise that by 2005, there were only 67,817 left. However, in recent years the rate of disappearance from British roads has accelerated, such that the latest figures indicate that well under 2425 remain taxed for use on British Roads. Whilst the Sierra may not be a 'classic car' in the full sense of the term, it's scarcity will surely increase it's collectors value..and all the more so as the numbers continue to fall. Famous Owners As you can imagine, mass produced car

Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness
By: Ingrid Fetell Lee
'Have you ever wondered why we stop to watch the orange glow that arrives before sunset, or why we flock to see cherry blossoms bloom in spring? Is there a reason that people— regardless of gender, age, culture, or ethnicity— are mesmerized by baby animals, and can't help but smile when they see a burst of confetti or a cluster of colorful balloons? We are often made to feel that the physical world has little or no impact on our inner joy. Increasingly, experts urge us to find balance and calm by looking inward— through mindfulness or meditation— and muting the outside world. But what if the natural vibrancy of our surroundings is actually our most renewable and easily accessible source of joy? In Joyful, designer Ingrid Fetell Lee explores how the seemingly mundane spaces and objects we interact with every day have surprising and powerful effects on our mood. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and psychology, she explains why one setting makes us feel anxious or competitive, while another fosters acceptance and delight— and, most importantly, she reveals how we can harness the power of our surroundings to live fuller, healthier, and truly joyful lives.

What is parameter setting?
After wafer fabrication, all key application parameter of the device are stored in NVM for system function configuration and calibration.
During and after system assembly, certain parameters of the ICs may have to be configured and stored so that they can work efficiently with other system components. By adjusting the parameters, designers can calibrate performance discrepancies to match system specifications.
Driver ICs typically require NVM to store device parameters. For example, gray levels and gamma curves are stored in display driver ICs for image quality optimization. More complex systems may require real-time recording of system parameters (i.e. battery impedance) in order to improve product life (i.e. laptop battery packs).

Minister of Energy and Mines, Bright Msaka, has called for more research work on exploration of rare earth elements in the country.
Msaka, made the call during the closure of a week-long Hi- Tech AlkCarb Expert Council meeting in Zomba.
The meeting attracted 36 geo scientists from across the globe. The experts also conducted research on mineral deposits in the Chilwa Alkaline Province.
Msaka said Malawi is endowed with a number of mineral resources and hosts potential for world class deposits of rare earth elements.
"The Chilwa Alkaline Province is an important mineral province of good significance. It is an important repository of minerals such as rare earths.
"Rare earths are used in making high technology products, hence the need for concerted effort in research towards their exploration in the country," he said.
He said the outcomes from the workshop will help unveil new knowledge and geo models to augment the current understanding of the Chilwa Alkaline Province.
Msaka further said the publications from the workshop will reinvigorate interest in the Chilwa province carbonatites and put Malawi on the world stage with regard to geology and mineral potential.
He also assured the experts that his Ministry will do everything possible to advance geo-scientific research in order to generate relevant data needed by the private sector.
Mkango Resources Limited, who hosted the workshop, said the research findings will be published in both local and international media.
Mkango Chief Executive Officer, William Dawes, described the workshop as a success.
He said the findings will help put Malawi on the world map as a potential mineral destination.
"We believe the exchange of knowledge between the international and local experts will also help grow mining and mineral exploration in the country," said Dawes.
The meeting attracted world class geological experts from Norway, German, Finland, Britain and Australia, among others.

ULI Nashville Civic Leadership Forum: 4 Crime Rates
Higher-Density Development: Myth and Fact examines widespread misconceptions related to higher-density development and seeks to dispel them with relevant facts and information.
Many residents say they chose higher density housing specifically because they felt more secure there; they feel safer because there are more people coming and going, making it more difficult for criminals to act without being discovered.
MYTH: Higher-density development leads to higher crime rates.
FACTS: Crime rates at higher-density developments are not significantly different from those at lower-density developments.


When do raccoon breed, and how many babies can they have?
raccoonRaccoon breed in the month of January and sometimes even as late as May or June. This can depend of the region of the United States. Their gestation period is about 60-64 days. Most litters are born in April and May, but some may be born later depending on the breeding. There is only one litter of young born each year. They can have one to six, but the average size litter is between three and five. To find out more, have a look at our Animal Facts.


Nebraska allocation of lottery funds for education programs advanced
Lawmakers gave first-round approval March 24 to a bill that would allocate approximately $100 million in lottery funds to education-related programs over the next five years.
The state Department of Revenue estimates that $21.2 million in lottery funds will be directed to education programs in FY2021-22, $21.7 million in FY2022-23 and $22.1 million in FY2023-24.
Under one new program, the Educational Service Unit Coordinating Council would ensure that annual, evidence-based behavioral awareness and intervention training is available statewide and develop, implement and administer a statewide teacher support system beginning in school year 2021-22.
Beginning with the 2023-24 school year, school districts would ensure that teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals, school nurses and counselors receive the training.
LB529 also would direct funds to a new mental health training grant program administered by the state Department of Education.
The Nebraska Opportunity Grant Fund, which provides financial aid to low-income Nebraska residents enrolled at postsecondary educational institutions, would receive the largest allocation at 58 percent, down from the 62 percent allocation it received for fiscal years 2016-17 through 2020-21.
An Education Committee amendment, adopted 29-6, would add an element to the proposed behavioral awareness and intervention training. It would require at least 30 minutes of training dedicated to understanding the duties, rights and responsibilities outlined in the Student Discipline Act and case law addressing student behavior.
The amendment also would create a grant program for students who graduate from an accredited education program at a state youth rehabilitation and treatment center or from a public or private high school within one year of being discharged from a YRTC.
Those students could receive up to $5,000 per year to attend a Nebraska postsecondary educational institution if they meet certain requirements.
"This is a great opportunity to help these kids turn their life around, go to college at least part time and enter the workforce," Walz said.
Sen. Patty Pansing Brooks of Lincoln supported the committee amendment and the bill. If LB529 does not pass, she said, the Nebraska Opportunity Grant program will end in June, leaving Nebraska without a need-based financial aid program for students who attend state postsecondary institutions.
"It's critical, in my mind, to make college education more accessible and more affordable to Nebraska students in need," Pansing Brooks said.
Omaha Sen. John Cavanaugh also supported the bill. He said the proposed mental health training grant program could help reduce prison overcrowding by helping teachers identify the signs and symptoms of mental illness in students.
"Early intervention leads to better results, better long-term outcomes for people," Cavanaugh said. "[A] number of people who find themselves in the criminal justice system didn't get any access to mental health care until they got into the criminal justice system."
Sen. Dave Murman of Glenvil introduced an amendment containing many provisions of his LB673. The amendment would authorize teachers and other school personnel to use reasonable physical intervention to manage student behavior to protect themselves, the student or another person from physical injury.
Under Murman's proposal, teachers or other school personnel would not be subject to professional or administrative discipline for physical intervention or removal of a student from a class if they acted in a reasonable manner and in accordance with school policy.
It also would direct each school district to provide behavioral awareness and intervention training to administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, school nurses and counselors beginning in school year 2021-22.
Murman said the amendment would provide funding to each school district and allow them to choose their own training program rather than rely on ESUs.
North Platte Sen. Mike Groene supported the amendment, saying it would protect teachers from being fired or suspended for defending themselves or others from a student who becomes violent.
Walz opposed Murman's amendment, saying ESUs could provide the training more effectively and efficiently. Additionally, Walz said, the teacher support system proposed in the committee amendment would provide teachers ongoing support after they receive training.
Murman later withdrew the amendment but said he would introduce a similar one during the second round of debate.
After adopting a technical amendment, senators voted 28-6 to advance LB529 to select file.

The weir at High Dam is thought to date from the 18th century but there may have been an earlier Medieval structure. The weir created a head of water to supply Bishopton Mill via a long mill leet and aqueduct system.
The project will create a bypass chanel to allow fish to move upstream past the weir structure. The old mill leat will be partially restored in order to allow water to flow through it. This will create a further wetted chanel below the weir to further enhance biodiversity. Volunteers from Ure Salmon Group and the MOD's Operation Nightingale will carry out the work in October this year.


How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (2024)
This article is over 2 years old and may contain outdated information
Redstone clocks are arguably the most useful contraption you can make for any large-scale redstone machine. Redstone clocks are generally pretty easy to build and implement into any of your contraptions, and are also very easy to scale, so you can make them as big or as small as you want and change the timing to suit your needs. Here are some of the easiest redstone clocks you can make in Minecraft.
Hopper Clock
How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (1)
Out of all of the clocks on this list, this one is complex and expensive to build. It also grants you the most control over your timings. The main feature of this clock is that it is tileable and gives you a lot of control over your timings. You can place as many of these as you like into your build and set each one to fire at a different time.
The timing of this clock is controlled by the items you place into the hoppers. Each item creates a delay of 0.4 seconds. So if you want your machine to go off every minute, you need to put 150 items into the hoppers.
To build this clock, you will need the following:
 - 2 Comparators
 - 2 Sticky pistons
 - 1 Redstone block
 - 4 Redstone torches
 - 4 Blocks of wool or iron
 - 2 Hoppers
Instructions
 1. Place 2 hoppers facing each other. This way they are constantly passing their items between one another.
 2. Place a redstone block on top of the hoppers, then place the sticky pistons so they will move the block back and forth on top of the hoppers.
 3. Place the comparators next to each hopper, so they are triggered by the items running through the hoppers.
 4. Place a block next behind the comparator and place a redstone torch on the opposite side. Then place a block on top of the torch, and put another torch facing your pistons.
 5. Finally, fill the hoppers with as many items as you need. You can then connect the redstone block or torches to other machines as needed.
Repeater Clock
How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (2)
This is probably the most well-known and most popular clock used in redstone development. It is also the cheapest of all the clocks on this list, but it can also potentially cause the most lag if you are on a server and continue scaling or tiling it. You can control the timing for this clock, but it is a bit more difficult than using a hopper clock or minecart clock.
To make this clock you will need the following:
 - 4 Redstone dust
 - 2-4 Repeaters
 - 1 Redstone torch
Making this clock is fairly easy. Alternate your repeaters and redstone dust until you have a circuit. The signal will constantly circulate through the circuit until you break it or something causes it to stop.
After you have your circuit created, you will need to place a redstone torch next to one of the pieces of redstone dust. Break the torch as soon as you place it. You just want the signal to start; you do not want it to make it all the way through the circuit. If you are fast enough, the signal will circle around the circuit you have made constantly. You can also increase the size of the circuit and add more repeaters to increase the time it takes to activate.
After you have the clock up and running, you can connect any other machine you like by just adding a line of redstone dust or repeaters that connect to it.
Minecart Clock
How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (3)
The best and worst feature of this clock is that it is easily scalable. As long as you have the materials to make more rails or minecarts, you can scale it up indefinitely. The downside to this scalability is that this clock takes up a lot more space than any other on this list, but it is fairly easy to use if you are new to redstone.
To build this clock you will need the following:
 - At least 1 activator rail
 - At least 1 minecart
 - Powered rails
 - Redstone torches
 - Redstone dust
 - Normal minecart rails
To make this clock, all you need to do is create a circle of rails for a minecart to travel over. Place an activator rail where you would like the redstone signal to be triggered. You can place multiple activator rails to trigger multiple machines if you like. Place the powered rails with redstone torches next to them to make sure the cart always has plenty of speed.
Observer Clock
How to make a redstone clock in Minecraft (4)
This is probably the easiest redstone clock to make, though it does have some drawbacks. This clock will tick constantly, which can be a bit annoying to your friends or members of your server and can cause a little lag if you use too many. If you need something to be constantly firing, this clock is a quick and easy fix.
All you need to create this clock is a pair of observers.
Place two observers facing each other, and they will start constantly ticking each other. You can connect any redstone device to the back of these observers to trigger it.

In the Land of Time: And Other Fantasy Tales by Lord Dunsany
In In the Land of Time: And Other Fantasy Tales (1986), literary critic and editor S.T. Joshi has compiled a large collection of Lord Dunsany's short fiction that spans fifty years and is representative of his entire oeuvre. As someone who is not well-acquainted with the writings of Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, the 18th Baron of Dunsany (_PHONE_), I found this collection to be both an excellent resource and an enjoyable read. I especially appreciate the opportunity to listen to this in audiobook format, thanks to Tantor Audio who has recently released an audio edition which is 17 hours long and is beautifully narrated by Steven Crossley.
After giving us an informative introduction, Joshi has arranged Dunsany's stories into six sections. The first and longest section, which he calls Pegana and Environs, contains Dunsany's stories about Pegana, an imaginative land inhabited and controlled by a cast of remote and frivolous gods. These fables, written in a formal and elaborate style and often sounding like the King James Bible, are slightly reminiscent of the tales about the Greek and Roman pantheons (yet more amusing) and include origin stories as well as tales of the gods meddling with humans and amongst themselves. While reading them I found myself thinking of Tanith Lee's TALES FROM THE FLAT EARTH and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities.
There's a feeling of playfulness and irony that pervades the Pegana stories which, as Joshi suggests, may be related to Dunsany's concurrent reading of Nietzsche. The stories in this section are:
- The Gods of Pegana
- Time and the Gods
- The Legend of the Dawn
- In the Land of Time
- The Relenting of Sarnidac
- The Fall of Babbulkund
The next section is called Tales of Wonder and contains a sampling of stories that are different from those found in Dunsany's 1916 book titled Tales of Wonder. In this section Joshi has included:
- The Sword of Welleran
- The Kith of the Elf-Folk
- The Ghosts
- The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth
- Idle Days on the Yann
- A Shop in Go-by Street
- The Avenger of Perdóndaris
- The Bride of the Man-Horse
In these stories we visit many exotic places and meet a sentient sword, a creature who asks for a soul but ends up regretting it, a man who sets out to prove that ghosts don't exist, singing flowers that are the dreams of poets, a wise talking cat, and a centaur. I liked the style, content, and diversity of these stories better than the Pegana fables.
The third section contains several Prose Poems:
- Where the Tides Ebb and Flow
- The Raft Builders
- The Prayer of the Flowers
- The Workman
- The City
These are very short, most just a couple of minutes in the audiobook version. Here we meet a man whose dead body keeps getting re-buried while he's aware of it, a man who falls off a scaffolding and tries to carve his name on the way down, and a king who swears to visit a city that a prophecy claims he'll never reach. Some of these poems are clever, some are thoughtful. They're all beautifully written. "Roses," a poem of only a few lines, is a good example of one of Dunsany's common themes — that nature will continue to thrive long after humans manage to exterminate themselves.
The fourth section, titled Fantasy and Reality, contains:
- The Wonderful Window
- The Coronation of Mr. Thomas Shap
- The City on Mallington Moor
- The Bureau d'Echange de Maux
- The Exiles' Club
- Thirteen at Table
- The Last Dream of Bwona Khubla
These stories were my favorites. One is about a very expensive window that looks out onto a captivating imaginary city. Another is about a businessman who, with half of his brain, competently and logically does his job and, with the other half of his brain, lives in his own fantasy world. In another story we visit a city that only appears when you drink rum, and in another, we visit a shop where traders can swap the bad things that happen to them. There are some repetitive elements in these stories, but they're all clever and amusing.
Dunsany wrote over 150 stories that have been collected as The Jorkens Tales and Joshi provides five in the fifth section (called Jorkens). Joseph Jorkens is a (fictional) member of a London gentlemen's club who is known for the tall tales which he can be induced to begin if one of the club members buys him a drink. The Jorkens tales that Joshi has chosen for this collection are:
- The Tale of the Abu Laheeb (the first Jorkens story)
- Our Distant Cousins
- The Walk to Lingham
- The Development of the Rillswood Estate
- A Life's Work
Jorkens tells the fantastical tales as if they're true, so his listeners are never quite sure how much to believe. In these tales, Jorkens visits Mars, puts an elephant in a matchbox, gets chased by a tree, and explains how the man who just rode by their club in a carriage is actually a satyr. These stories were a lot of fun and I'll be seeking out more of the Jorkens tales soon.
The final section is called Some Late Tales (because they were written later in Dunsany's life) and includes:
- The Policeman's Prophecy
- The Two Bottles of Relish
- The Cut
- Helping the Fairies
- The Romance of His Life
- The Pirate of the Round Pond
This is a diverse set where we see what would happen to London if all the humans were gone, we solve a murder that involves a relish-eating vegetarian, we watch a dog start putting on airs, we witness the consequences of offending "the little people," and we watch some meddlesome boys use torpedoes to sink toy boats on a public pond. These stories, which wouldn't be classified as fantasy, are entertaining and sometimes exude sardonic social commentary.
It's easy to see why Lord Dunsany was such an important influence on Tolkien, Lovecraft, Le Guin, Moorcock, and others fantasy writers. Any reader who is interested in the history of fantasy literature should become familiar with Lord Dunsany's writings and In the Land of Time: And Other Fantasy Tales is the perfect method for doing so. Tantor Audio's new edition is exquisitely performed by Steven Crossley. I highly recommend it.

How Do the Children Divide Up Mom's Tangible Property?

What should you do if you've been given the task to be in charge of divvying up a parent's estate that includes assorted tangible items?
Minneapolis Tribune's article entitled "A clever way to divvy up items after a parent's death" says that some families do it, by taking turns selecting which items each will keep.
The article discusses how a family decided to divide things up their mom's grand estate and how the method the family used to divvy up the tangible items could be one that other families with much smaller estates could use.
After their mom's death at 93, the brother and sister co-executors created an inventory of 724 items in her estate that had monetary or sentimental value. These included things like furniture, artwork, oriental rugs, cutlery, china, a piano and a car. They didn't include their mom's jewelry, books or linens, or her silver, gold and collectible coins. The four siblings all agreed to sell the coins and to deal with the many books, linens, and jewelry more informally, after the more significant items had been distributed.
The family didn't use the common way of disbursing tangible items of an estate, in which family members take turns choosing items. With over 700 items, that could take a while. They felt that system wouldn't maximize the value received by the four children and seven grandchildren. Instead, their process for dividing the intangible items used the following steps:
 1. The inventory was given to all four siblings and asked each one to state the items that they were interested in. This divided the 724 items into three groups: (a) stuff in which no one had an interest; (b) stuff in which only one person had an interest; and (c) those in which two or more were interested. Things in which no one had an interest, were set aside to be sold or given away, and those who were the only siblings to want certain items got them.
 2. They then made lists of items in which more than one sibling expressed an interest. Each received a list of those items. They were not given information on ones in which they weren't interested—one of two ways the system wasn't transparent.
 3. Each person was then "given" 500 virtual poker chips that he or she could use to bid for contested items. However, prior to the bidding deadline, they could talk with one another about their intentions. The result was that many had bid for several similar items, like family pictures, bookcases and oriental rugs — when they really only wanted one from each category. Thus, they agreed among themselves who would receive each one, without wasting too many chips. This also avoided two siblings using a lot of tokens to bid for a particular item, and no one bidding on another similar one.
 4. After the bids were in, the co-executors announced the results, without revealing the bids, to avoid a silent auction where bidders can see what others are bidding and readjust their bids up to the deadline. This was the second part of the system that wasn't transparent.
 5. Finally, when all the allocations were determined, the co-executors tabulated the monetary value of all the items and readjusted the estate monetary distributions to ensure that everyone came out at the same place financially. The most valuable items were a 1919 Steinway drawing room grand piano valued at $25,000; a 2005 Toyota Camry valued at $4,500; and some oriental rugs with a total value of $13,975. Those who got the big-ticket items had to pay their siblings something for them, with a total of $17,500 trading hands.
It was time-consuming and took several months, but the siblings thought that their system was very fair and the process, unlike what is done in some other family estates, relieved tensions and brought the siblings closer together.

Enjoying good weather all year round, Onslow in Western Australia (WA) is a pretty coastal town offering a relaxed holiday. It's one of the few places where the sun rises and sets over water, and is the gateway to the Mackerel Islands. With access via sealed roads from Karratha, Exmouth, Carnarvon and Karijini, Onslow and the Mackerel Islands is the quintessential coastal expression of the Pilbara region.
Established in 1883, Onslow was originally home to a fleet of pearling luggers. Due to the movement of the river over the years, the town and many of its historic buildings were relocated in 1925 to the new township site.
Wander along the Onslow Boardwalk for spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Check out Mother Nature's amazing monthly event, the Staircase to the Moon. Or visit the Goods Shed Museum and see its vast collection of old machinery and memorabilia.
The Mackerel Islands
The Mackerel Islands are located 22 kilometres off the Onslow coast. The surrounding reef system provides a valuable link for marine life between the Ningaloo Reef to the south and the Dampier Archipelago, Montebello Islands and Rowley Shoals to the north.
Of the 10 islands that make up the Mackerels group, two provide accommodation - Thevenard Island and Direction Island. Join a Mackerel Islands tour and explore this watery wonderland, or even rent an island all to yourself! See the Mackerel Island website for more details.
Mackerel Islands Fishing
The waters surrounding the islands are teeming with a carnival of marine life, ideal for diving, snorkelling and fishing. The daily sightings in Pilbara's fishiest waters includes red emperor, spangled emperor, golden trevally, giant trevally and coral trout. You can also try Onslow's own fishing spots at the Groyne or
Four Mile Creek.
On Thevenard Island, the show continues with turtle hatchings, migratory birds and other amazing wildlife. Bring your own boat, or join a Mackerel Islands fishing or diving tour. For more information about booking
accommodation and tours of the Mackerel Islands and Onslow, contact Onslow Visitor Centre.

Background: Decision-making processes in a medical setting are complex, dynamic and under time pressure, often with serious consequences for a patient's condition.
Objective: The principal aim of the present study was to trace and map the individual diagnostic process of real medical cases using a Decision Process Matrix [DPM]).
Methods: The naturalistic decision-making process of 11 residents and a total of 55 medical cases were recorded in an emergency department, and a DPM was drawn up according to a semi-structured technique following four steps: 1) observing and recording relevant information throughout the entire diagnostic process, 2) assessing options in terms of suspected diagnoses, 3) drawing up an initial version of the DPM, and 4) verifying the DPM, while adding the confidence ratings.
Results: The DPM comprised an average of 3.2 suspected diagnoses and 7.9 information units (cues). The following three-phase pattern could be observed: option generation, option verification, and final diagnosis determination. Residents strove for the highest possible level of confidence before making the final diagnoses (in two-thirds of the medical cases with a rating of practically certain) or excluding suspected diagnoses (with practically impossible in half of the cases).
Discussion: The following challenges have to be addressed in the future: real-time capturing of emerging suspected diagnoses in the memory of the physician, definition of meaningful information units, and a more contemporary measurement of confidence.
Conclusions: DPM is a useful tool for tracing real and individual diagnostic processes. The methodological approach with DPM allows further investigations into the underlying cognitive diagnostic processes on a theoretical level and improvement of individual clinical reasoning skills in practice.

Development of a Structural Design Procedure for Flexible Airport Pavements
[Technical Report, Final Report]
ARMY ENGINEER WATERWAYS EXPERIMENT STATION VICKSBURG MS
Pagination or Media Count:
A design procedure is presented for three types of flexible pavement conventional, bituminous concrete, and chemically stabilized. These represent nearly all flexible pavements being constructed at this time. Designs are based on analytically determined strain values and experimental and laboratory determined material fatigue strengths. Thus, the procedure can handle in a rational manner the possible variations in the properties of different pavement materials. An adaptation of the cumulative damage concept permits the consideration of cyclic variation in bituminous materials due to variations in temperatures and the variation in subgrade strength resulting from freeze-thaw cycles.

Too many Attributes in the SSAS dimension can spoil the MDX query
leave a comment »
All of us have heard about the importance of having the correct and appropriate attribute relationships and their impact on MDX query performance. There are a few instances when having too many attributes and attribute relationships can backfire. One such instance is with the Explicit and Implicit conversions. Let me explain.
Attribute relationships:
Attribute relationships create dependencies between attributes. In other words, if City has a RELATED attribute State, then City has a many to one relation with State and conversely State has a one to many relation with City. More specifically, if the current city is Seattle, then we know the State must be Washington.
Related and Relating relationship:
If State is RELATED to City, then City is said to be a RELATING to State.
Because RELATING attribute has a many-to-one relation with RELATED attribute the coordinates for RELATING attributes (City in this case) move to [All] member. For RELATED attribute, that has a one-to-many relation with the RELATING attribute, the coordinates move to one specific member.
Explicit and Implicit Overwrite:
An Explicit overwrite takes place in an expression. Related and Relating attributes undergo an Implicit overwrite. Consider the following query
 WITH MEMBER [Measures].[x] AS ([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]),
 FORMAT_STRING = "currency"
 SELECT {[Measures].[x], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} on 0
 FROM [Adventure Works]
 WHERE [Customer].[Customer Geography].[City].&[Seattle]&[WA]
It is a simple MDX query that returns the Internet Sales Amount for the City of Seattle in Washington.
x Internet Sales Amount
$75,164.86 $75,164.86
Now lets play with it and add [Customer].[Stare-Province].CurrentMemberto the calculated member expression
 WITH MEMBER [Measures].[x] AS ([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
 [Customer].[State-Province].CurrentMember),
 FORMAT_STRING = "currency"
 SELECT {[Measures].[x], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} on 0
 FROM [Adventure Works]
 WHERE [Customer].[Customer Geography].[City].&[Seattle]&[WA]
The query returns the following results
x Internet Sales Amount
$2,467,248.34 $75,164.86
As we know WHERE clause reduces the dimensionality of cube space and hence changes the cube context for the query. What has happened here is
 - [City].[Seattle] is current context (WHERE Clause reduces the dimensionality of cube space and performs an implicit EXISTS with the AXES).
 - Explicit conversion of [State-Province].CURRENTMEMBER to [State-Province].[Washington] (one member from State)
 - Because [State-Province] is related to [City], [State-Province].[Washington] remains as it is (one member from State).
 - Now because [City] is relating to [State-Province], [City].[Seattle] gets implicitly converted to [City].[ALL Customers]
 - Hence the tuple expression for [Measures].[x] becomes ([State-Province].[Washington], [City].[ALL Customers], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount])
Out of curiosity, let us see what happens when we have subselects instead of WHERE clause?
 WITH MEMBER [Measures].[x] AS ([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
 [Customer].[State-Province].CurrentMember),
 FORMAT_STRING = "currency"
 SELECT {[Measures].[x], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} on 0
 FROM (SELECT [Customer].[Customer Geography].[City].&[Seattle]&[WA] ON 0
 FROM [Adventure Works])
x Internet Sales Amount
$29,358,677.22 $75,164.86
Subselects do not reduce dimensionality of cube space and therefore do not change the cube context in which the MDX expressions are to be evaluated. In this case there is no Implicit EXISTS between the Subselect and the AXES and hence the [State-Province].CurrentMember gets Explicitly converted to All member [State-Province].[ALL Customers]. The tuple expression for [Measures].[x] in this query becomes ([State-Province].[ALL Customers], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]).
So far so good. This is as per design and how it should behave. Now let us look at the above mentioned scenario but with different dimension ([Product]) and members. Consider the following query
 WITH MEMBER [Measures].[x] AS ([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]),
 FORMAT_STRING = "currency"
 SELECT {[Measures].[x], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} on 0
 FROM [Adventure Works]
 WHERE [Product].[Product Categories].[Product].[Mountain-100 Silver, 38]
Again a plain and simple MDX query that returns the Internet Sales Amount for the Product "Mountain-100 Silver, 38".
x Internet Sales Amount
$197,199.42 $197,199.42
If we tweek the expression
 WITH MEMBER [Measures].[x] AS ([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
 [Product].[Subcategory].CurrentMember),
 FORMAT_STRING = "currency"
 SELECT {[Measures].[x], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} on 0
 FROM [Adventure Works]
 WHERE [Product].[Product Categories].[Product].[Mountain-100 Silver, 38]
We get the same result as the previous expression.
x Internet Sales Amount
$197,199.42 $197,199.42
Result does not seem to be correct as we were expecting $9,952,759.56 but we are getting $197,199.42. It is supposed to be doing the same thing as I mentioned before
 - [Product].[Mountain-100 Silver, 38] is current context (WHERE Clause performs an implicit EXISTS with the AXES).
 - Explicit conversion of [Subcategory].CURRENTMEMBER to [Subcategory].[Mountain Bikes] (one member from Subcategory)
 - Because [Subcategory] is related to [Product], [Subcategory].[Mountain Bikes] remains as it is (one member from Subcategory).
 - Also because [Product] is relating to [Subcategory], [Product].[Mountain-100 Silver, 38] gets implicitly converted to [Product].[ALL Products]
 - Hence the tuple for [Measures].[x] becomes ([Subcategory].[Mountain Bikes], [Product].[ALL Products]).
Yet the result seems to be incorrect. Why? This is because there are TOO MANY ATTRIBUTES in [Product] dimenion and most of the attributes are RELATED to the Product level (leaf level). All those attributes get set by auto-exists when filtering to a specific Product. The following is the subcube information from profiler when the query is fired.
00000000, 000, 000, 010111111111111111111, 000000000000000000000, 00, 100, 000000000000000000000, 000000000000000000000, 000000000000000000000, 00
It equates to the following.
 Dimension: Product (21)
 Attribute: Standard Cost
 Attribute: Color
 Attribute: Safety Stock Level
 Attribute: Reorder Point
 Attribute: List Price
 Attribute: Size
 Attribute: Size Range
 Attribute: Weight
 Attribute: Days to Manufacture
 Attribute: Dealer Price
 Attribute: Class
 Attribute: Style
 Attribute: Model Name
 Attribute: Product Line
 Attribute: Subcategory
 Attribute: Status
 Attribute: Start Date
 Attribute: End Date
 Attribute: Large Photo
 Dimension: Destination Currency (3)
 Attribute: Destination Currency
There are 21 attributes in the Product dimension of which 15 attributes are related to the Product level. What it means is that the above 15 attributes perform auto exist at their respective all level with the Product Level (leaf level) because of the attribute relationship. In context of the query featuring City and State there was only one related attribute (State) at the City level and hence the issue did not arise there.
ROOT function:
The desired behaviour is got back by application of ROOT function. As defined by mdsn, the ROOT function returns a tuple that consists of the All members from each attribute hierarchy within the current scope in a cube, dimension, or tuple. So by modifying the above query in the following way
 WITH MEMBER [Measures].[x] AS ([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
 ROOT([Product].[Subcategory].CurrentMember)),
 FORMAT_STRING = "currency"
 SELECT {[Measures].[x], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} on 0
 FROM [Adventure Works]
 WHERE [Product].[Product Categories].[Product].[Mountain-100 Silver, 38]
we get the desired results
x Internet Sales Amount
$9,952,759.56 $75,

Its festive season, Christmas and New Year is the season of Hope and Happiness, it's time to spread happiness and celebrate the joy of giving! At a time, when there is so much hatred around in the world, unrest, it's necessary to teach our children to be compassionate towards one another. At VIBGYOR, we start sensitising our students about various social concerns at an early age to help them become sensible future citizens of the world.
To spread a smile and share the joy of the festive season, VIBGYOR Rise students visited "AaS" (Awareness to the Society) orphanage this week. The visit was conducted as a part of 'Celebrate the Joy of Sharing' activity. Our students donated stationery items, books, blankets, toys, cloths, etc. to the children. VIBGYOR staff guided children at Aas about "Importance of Sport's in Life" and "Reduce the use of single-use plastic".
Children of "Aas orphanage" welcomed VIBGYOR students with a smile. The atmosphere was fun-filled and joyous as everyone warmed up to each other. The students interacted with each other and shared their experiences.
Principal, Dr. Abhishek Sharma said, "It is not the gift but the thought that counts. On a Christmas Eve, every child wishes for a gift from Santa. This was a chance for our students to be the Santa for a cause. Students are extremely happy after spending time with the kids of "Aas Orphanage". This activity was aimed at inspiring one and all to give in whatever way they choose and to celebrate the feeling of giving. At VIBGYOR, we start sensitising our students at an early age about various social concerns and their surroundings."

There are different type of fruits and vegetables available in various parts of the world. They may be same in shape with each other but their taste and nutritional affect is different from each other. Sometimes, these fruits and vegetables are mixed up with each other to prepare weird recipes. Pickles, Courgette, Gherkins, Cucumber and Zucchini are one of these special recipes. Let's have a look on difference between cougette, gherkin, zucchini and pickle.
In British English zucchini is also called courgette. It is a vegetable which is served in cooked form. In sweet dishes zucchini is used as an ingredient.
It is a fruit look like cucumber in shape. Gherkin and cucumber are from same species. There are no difference between both in form and nutrition. They are normally used in sweet dishes.
A zucchini is a summer squash. They are normally grown in a half meter length. Basically it is hybrid of another vegetable cucumber. It is cooked and served as vegetable.
A cucumber can be pickled with vinegar or brine. In Australia, Canada and United States, they are known as pickle and generally gherkins in UK.
Cucumber is a ground plant in cylindrical form. It is safe to eat fruit, but also used as vegetable. It is one of the mostly grown plants all over the world. The three major varieties of cucumber are pickling, slicing and purples.
Pickles vs Courgette vs Gherkins vs Cucumber vs Zucchini
The difference between zucchini and cougette is, in American English courgette is also known as zucchini. They are almost same in shape and taste. They both use in sweet dishes but they are different in length. Gherkin is like cucumber in taste and shape. The difference between gherkin and courgette is that, gherkin is a fruit while courgette is used as vegetable. Pickle is made from cucumber with vinegar and brine.

IZA DP No. 13404: Changes in Female Employment in Mexico: Demographics, Economics, and Policies
The unemployment and labor force participation gender gaps narrowed in Mexico after the 2008 global economic crisis, when female labor force participation increased. This paper aims to understand female labor force participation growth and identify its main determinants. For that purpose, the paper estimates a probit model with data from the National Employment Survey of 2007 and 2017, when the unemployment rate returned to the pre-crisis level. Broadly, the results show that increasing labor force participation of women ages 36 to 65 sustained the growth of overall female labor force participation, women's educational attainment can offset any individual or household obstacle to women's employability, and childcare availability significantly supports mothers' employability.

Order: lactulose 20 g PO tid for hepatic encephalopathy On hand: lactulose 10 g/15 mL How many oz will you give? 26
Expert solution paper
Answer. 1.
Ordered phenobarbital gr 1/2 PO.
Available drug concentration = 20 mg / 5 ml.
1 grain = 64.799 mg
1/2 grain = 64.799 mg per grain ✖ 1/2 grain.
1/2 grain = 32.39 mg.
Formula for required volume = desire drug dose / available drug concentration ✖ quantity.
Required volume = 32.39 mg / 20 mg ✖ 5 ml.
Required volume = 1.619 ✖ 5 ml
Required volume = 8.09 ml
Answer is 8.09 ml.
Answer. 2.
Ordered zantac = 0.15 gm
Available drug concentration = 15 mg / ml.
1 gm = 1000 mg.
0.15 gm = 0.15 gm ✖ 1000 mg / gm = 150 mg.
Formula for required volume = desire drug dose / available drug concentration ✖ quantity.
Required volume = 150 mg / 15 mg ✖ 1 ml.
Required volume = 10 ✖ 1 ml.
Required volume = 10 ml.
1 tsp = 5 ml.
Total tsp in 10 ml = 10 ml / 5 ml per tsp = 2 tsp.
Answer is 2 tsp.
Answer. 3.
Dilaudid = 3 mg.
Available drug concentration = 1 mg / ml
Formula for required volume = desire drug dose / available drug concentration ✖ quantity.
Required volume = 3 mg / 1 mg ✖ 1 ml.
Required volume = 3 ✖ 1 ml
Required volume = 3 ml.
Answer.
Ordered lactulose = 20 gm
Available drug concentration = 10 gm / 15 ml.
Formula for required volume = desire drug dose / available drug concentration ✖ quantity.
Required volume = 20 gm / 10 gm ✖ 15 ml.
Required volume = 2 ✖ 15 ml.
Required volume = 30 ml
1 oz = 30 ml
So patient required 1 oz.


Desktop Testing Tutorial
What You Will Learn
 - How to create a repository, test project and test module
 - How to open a desktop application using start program action
 - How to capture the GUI controls of a desktop app using Interface Viewer
 - How to quickly write your first test by simply drag-dropping interface elements on to the test module
 - How to execute the test and review the test result
Create your own repository
 1. Open TestArchitect IDE
 2. Right click on the root node and select New Repository Connection
 3. Type in MyDesktopTest as the new name for your repository
TIP
By default, a Repository Server instance will be installed on your local machine when you install TestArchitect. Therefore, localhost:53400 is always there for you to select. However, if you set up a remote Repository Server that can be shared with your team on a different machine, enter that machine's IP and the appropriate port into the Server field, e.g. 192.168.167.20:53400
 1. Log into the newly created repository
create-repo.gif
Now you have a brand new repository of your own. To learn more about TestArchitect repositories, check out this article.
Create your first test project
 1. Right click on the MyDesktopTest repository and select New Project
 2. Fill in the name of your project, e.g. FirstDesktopProject
 3. Fill in the 3-char abbreviation for your project, e.g. DES
 4. Click Create
create-project.gif
This project will be the central database to store all of your test assets later on.
Create a test module
 1. With TestArchitect IDE opened, log into the MyDesktopTest repository that you've created
 2. Expand the FirstDesktopProject project
 3. Right click on the Tests node > Select New Test Module > Name your test module as MyFirstTest
create-test-module.gif
MyFirstTest test module will be our main test module of interest from now on.
Start the sample desktop app
 1. Open the MyFirstTest test module you have just created
 2. Use the start program action to open the Car Rental desktop app like below
start-program.png
TIP
The Car Rental desktop app (Java-based) is shipped together with TestArchitect. It usually locates at: C:\Program Files (x86)\LogiGear\TestArchitect\samples\CarRental\CarRental.exe or C:\Program Files\LogiGear\TestArchitect\samples\CarRental\CarRental.exe.
 1. Press F9 or click the Execute button on the Execute dialog to run the test module
 2. You'll see that the Car Rental program, specifically its Login dialog will popup
That's good! Now you can keep this Car Rental app running and return to TestArchitect IDE.
Capture the GUI controls
To start automating the GUI of Car Rental, you must first tell TestArchitect how to find those GUI controls on the screen. To do so, follow the steps below:
 1. Create a new interface entity and name it as LoginScreen like below
create-interface-entity.gif
 1. Once the new interface entity is created, open the Interface Viewer tool from the toolbar
 2. Click the Hand toolbar button on Interface Viewer then click on the User name textbox to inspect its properties
 3. Double click on the User name node to capture it
capture-username.gif
 1. After you click the Save button on Viewer's toolbar, the locator for this User name textbox will be stored in the LoginScreen interface entity as below
entity-saved.png
 1. Feel free to save this LoginScreen interface entity by pressing Ctrl+S
 2. Repeat step 3, 4 and 5 for the Password textbox and the Login button
 3. At this point, you should have 3 interface elements captured and stored in LoginScreen interface entity as below
final-entity.png
 1. Check in the entity into Repository Server by pressing F11
TIP
This check-in step is very important! Please make sure you check in the entity before proceeding to the next section.
Now you have created your first interface entity.
Write a test
We'll now create a test for the Login dialog of Car Rental desktop app. The goal of this test is to verify that a user with a wrong username/password pair cannot log into the system.
 1. After you check in the LoginScreen interface entity into Repository Server, you'll see the interface elements (UI controls) you previously captured on Explorer tree
 2. Make sure that MyFirstTest test module is currently open
 3. Drag and drop the user name interface element on to Column A of the spreadsheet
 4. TestArchitect automatically recommends that the most commonly used action for this textbox control is enter
 5. Select enter action then type invalid into the value argument
drag-drop-username.gif
 1. Do the same for the password interface element
 2. Now drag and drop the login interface element on to Column A of the spreadsheet and select click action
drag-drop-loginbtn.gif
All precondition steps are in place. Now we need to add a checkpoint or assertion to verify the expected behavior.
Create a checkpoint (assertion)
 1. Although we haven't added any checkpoint (assertion) yet, let's run the test to see what happens
execute1.gif
 1. As you might notice, the Car Rental app displays an error message saying Invalid Username or Password and an OK button. This is an expected behavior
 2. To make sure that Car Rental always displays this correct message, we must capture the GUI controls on this dialog using Interface Viewer
 3.1. Create a new interface entity and name it MessageDialog
 3.2. Open Viewer and capture the GUI controls on the Message dialog (the error message and OK button)
 3.3. Save the interface entity MessageDialog
 message-dialog-saved.png
 3.4. Check in by pressing F11
 3. Go back to MyFirstTest test module, and do the following:
 4.1. Drag-drop the error-message (TAClass=label) into Column A of the spreadsheet
 4.2. Select check control property action
 4.3. Type caption into the property argument
 4.4. Type Invalid Username or Password. into the expected argument.
check-control-prop.gif
 1. Drag-drop the OK button from Explorer tree to Column A of the spreadsheet and select check control exists action
 2. At this point, you'll have a test module similar to the script below
A B C D E
 program
start program C:\Program Files\LogiGear\TestArchitect\samples\CarRental\CarRental.exe

 window control value
enter LoginScreen user name invalid
enter LoginScreen password invalid

 window control
click LoginScreen login

 window control property expected
check control property MessageDialog invalid username or password caption Invalid Username or Password.
 window control
check control exists MessageDialog ok

Now we've added the checkpoints and made the test more meaningful. Let's run the test.
Execute the test
 1. Click the Execute button on TestArchitect IDE's toolbar.
 2. Make sure that the Screenshot Recording feature is turned on.
 3. Click the Execute button on the Execute dialog and watch the test runs.
execute2.gif
Once the test finishes, you'll see the test result automatically opened up.
Review the test result
 1. If you've followed the steps above precisely, you should see that the test has just passed.
 2. Click on View detailed results per test line to open the result details in a browser
 3. Expand the tree nodes to view the screenshots attached to each step.
review-result.gif
TIP
The Screenshot Recording feature is a powerful secret weapon for reviewing what happened at runtime and debugging test failures.
Congratulations! You've completed the Desktop Testing Tutorial. Start applying what you have learned so far to automate more desktop apps. If you encounter any troubles or this guide is out-dated, please send us an email at _EMAIL_.

Legal Law
Dismiss my lawsuits: prime 7 methods to finish the nightmare
Reject criminal charges:
Top 7 ways to end the nightmare
It is possible to discharge your criminal complaint.
If you have been arrested, you want to know how your defense lawyer can dismiss your indictment.
Of course you understand that you are innocent until proven guilty.
But dismissing your criminal complaint would put a quick end to your nightmare.
Do you want to read?
Watch our video
What are your options
You have two options if you cannot dismiss your complaint.
Option 1: find guilty
Option 2: try it out
You will be offered a plea in every criminal case OR you can take your criminal case to court.
If you accept a plea deal, you have to admit that you committed a crime.
If you go to court, you incur enormous costs and your fate lies with a jury.
The basics
Of course, you know that you are innocent until proven guilty.
But the criminal process is long and you may have many sleepless nights until your case ends.
First, it is important to have a clear understanding of the criminal charges brought against you.
Are you facing crime or misdemeanor?
What are the punishments and consequences of your indictment?
Are you going to have immigration consequences?
Or is your career at risk?
Next, find the criminal lawyer that's right for you.
During your meeting, your defense lawyer should patiently listen to your side of the story.
Next, he will explain your allegations and understand the long road ahead.
dropped charges against dismissed charges
Before we get to the good things, let's answer this question:
"What is the difference between dismissing and submitting lawsuits?"
Filed and dismissed fees lead to the same result.
"Indictment dropped" means that the prosecutor has stopped pursuing the indictment.
In other words, you never have to go to court.
For example, this happens when a detective discovers that an important witness lied about what he saw.
Or if DNA evidence shows that it is impossible for you to have committed the crime.
"To reject your lawsuit" means that your lawyer has found a violation of the constitution.
For example, the police conducted an illegal search.
Keep going.
Let's discuss the top seven ways you can dismiss your complaint.
7 ways to dismiss criminal charges
1. Lack of a probable reason for the arrest
2. Errors in the criminal complaint or in the indictment documents
3. Illegal stopping and searching
4. Grand Jury dismissals
5. Insufficient evidence
6. Procedural issues
7. Lack of resources
1. no probable reason for arrest
In New Jersey and across the country, the police need a "probable reason" to arrest you.
This is a fundamental right that protects citizens from tyranny.
In other words, a police officer cannot arrest you because he has an "idea" that you are doing no good.
He must provide an acceptable explanation for his arrest.
The official's reasonable belief must include objective, factual evidence and circumstances.
For example, if a police officer receives a notice that a drug dealer is wearing a pink bow tie, the police officer may have a reason to stop a person who complies with this description.
But if the officer sees you and you don't wear a pink bow tie, he can't just arrest you.
They do not match the description.
We are submitting an application to the court showing that there is no probable reason.
If the court agrees, your criminal complaints will be dismissed.
2. Contesting the complaint
Police officers must sign criminal charges under oath.
If the lawsuit against you contains serious errors, we will file a motion to dismiss you.
For example, let's say you are 5 feet 9 inches tall, weigh 150 pounds, and have blonde hair.
And the official's complaint states that you are 6 feet 6 inches tall, weigh 300 pounds, and have purple hair.
Well, you get the picture.
3. Illegal search
The fourth amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects citizens from illegal stops, searches, and confiscations.
This is the law of the country.
Law enforcement can only stop you in certain circumstances.
As mentioned earlier, the police need a "probable reason" or "reasonable belief" that you may have committed a crime.
In addition, the police can only search you, your car, or your home if they have a search warrant.
However, there are exceptions to the warranty obligation.
For example, the police can search your bags after your arrest.
This happens when the officer believes that you are carrying a weapon.
If the police conduct a search without a warrant or special circumstances, the evidence will be suppressed.
As a result, your criminal charges will be dismissed.
4. because the grand jury said so
After your arrest, the public prosecutor's office must present the case to a large jury.
The grand jury adds another level of constitutional protection.
You listen to witnesses and look at the evidence.
If they find there is enough evidence to determine a probable cause, your case continues.
However, if the grand jury finds no probable reason, your criminal charges will be dismissed.
5. insufficient evidence
Remember, your arrest is the starting point of your criminal proceedings.
Crime cases last for months and sometimes years.
A lot happens while your case is pending.
The prosecutor can drop your criminal complaint after discovering new evidence through their investigation.
One reason can simply be a lack of evidence.
The other reason may be that the evidence against you is weak.
Another possibility is that newly discovered evidence will relieve you.
This means that the evidence shows that it was not you who committed the crime.
It is important to highlight the role of your defense lawyer here.
You see, while the prosecutor's office is investigating, your lawyer is doing his.
Aggressive and committed defenders work tirelessly to protect you.
You are working hard to find evidence to show that you are innocent of the accused crime.
This evidence is then made available to the prosecutor.
As a result, your criminal charges will be dismissed.
6. Procedural issues
The police and public prosecutors must follow strict criminal procedures.
During your arrest, booking, and questioning, you must follow the law.
If the police violate your constitutional rights, these violations will result in your criminal charges being dismissed.
A common example is a Miranda injury.
If you have made an incriminating statement without receiving a proper Miranda warning, your statement will be suppressed.
This alone does not guarantee that your criminal charges will be dismissed.
But it always helps to get rid of incriminating statements.
Procedural issues are difficult. So make sure you have a good lawyer!
7. Lack of resources
Let's be honest; Prosecutors are busy people.
You have tons of cases. As a result, they are often forced to focus on their most serious cases.
Your criminal charges can be dismissed or dropped just because the prosecutor has bigger fish to roast.
The truth is that it is not common to dismiss serious criminal charges.
You are more likely to be released if you are accused of a minor crime and have no criminal record.
Bonus tip
If they can't be fired, try lowering your fees
You may be surprised at the possibility of reducing a fee.
If the evidence against you is weak, your lawyer can fight for a reduced charge.
It is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
The case is solved and your nightmare is over.
A crime can be downgraded to a crime.
In this case, prison is no longer an option. You can pay a fine and get an error in your file.
But you will be relieved that the case is over.
Of course, our priority is to reject your lawsuits, but a reduced charge can also be a home run!
In return for a guilty confession to a reduced charge, a prosecutor can offer a "consent form". This happens when a prosecutor agrees to dismiss the original criminal complaint. You must agree to plead guilty to a less stringent charge instead.
Final thoughts
We have outlined 7 ways you can fight to dismiss your complaint.
Each case is different and the method you choose is determined by the facts of your case.
Remember that it is very important to choose the right lawyer for you.
The rejection of criminal complaints is associated with many legal challenges.
In many ways, you only have one opportunity to reject your case.
Make sure you don't waste it.
We offer free advice and are happy to help you.

Study Cycle: 2
Lecturer(s): izr. prof. dr. Habinc Mateja
A student may pass the practical training anytime during the academic year, but it is expectable to pass it during the summer break, when the demand for work in institutions is increased and when the majority of summer research camps are being organized.
The most frequent kinds of feildwork practical training are:
- Fieldwork research; archive work; documentary practical training in various institutions, associations, societies, etc.; which, in their regulary activities need knowledge and skills from the field of ethnology and cultural anthropology. In most cases it is practical training in museums, conservation and heritage institutions, and other cultural, educational and other non-profit institutions and non-governmental organizations, as well as economy establishments in general.
- Fieldwork research workshop (any kind of organized ethnographic fieldwork; summer trainings, summer schools and other kinds of organized project and voluntary work activities at home or abroad). Fieldwork projects and summer schools organized at the department as supplement to regular curricula may be recognized as working activities for practical training.
- Practical training related to project and research of the departmental staff, which can not be provided within foreseen regular teaching hours and lectures, seminars and practical classes, and are confirmed by the head of the department, are organized as additional workload.
