nodetable is the fundamental table for open street map. Each node consists of a longitude (
lon) / latitude (
lat) pair and thus defines a geographical point on the surface of the earth. The original schema has a few more attributes, such as
version. I am not interested in these, so I don't load them:
Tables way and node_in_wayEach "line" (such as a street or border etc) on open street map is an ordered list of nodes. Open Street Map calles them ways. Ways are also used to define areas in which case the last node equals the first node in the list.
First, I need a table just to store each way. Again, I am not interested in attributes such as
changeset, so I just load the way's
node_in_wayrelates nodes and ways:
Tables relation and member_in_relationOpen Street Map allows to relate multipe nodes and ways (and even relations) in a relation:
Each member (that is either node, way or relation) is listed in
Thus, exactly one of the attributes
is not null:
Table tagFinally, there are tags. A tag is a key (
k) value (
v) pair that can be assigned to nodes, ways or relations. Often, the values for specific keys define what an object is. As in
member_in_relationexactly on of
relation_idis not null.

The Siege of Vellore was an intermittent series of sieges and blockades conducted during the Second Anglo-Mysore War by forces of the Kingdom of Mysore against a British East India Company garrison holding the fortress at Vellore, located in the present-day Indian state of Tamil Nadu. First besieged in 1780, Mysore's ruler Hyder Ali eventually reduced the siege to a blockade due the need for troops elsewhere. The blockade was ineffectively maintained until 1782 before being abandoned. The British successfully resupplied the garrison of Colonel Ross Lang four times.

text: Two gas chromatographic methods, GC‐FID (flame ionization detection) and GC‐ELCD (electrolytic conductivity detector) are compared in tlie analysis of volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs) in water samples with a membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) technique. Carbon disulfide, ethanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, ethyl‐methyl sulfide, thiophene, and dimethyl disulfide were used as test compounds. Linear dynamic ranges were found to be two decades with the GC‐ELCD method and four decades with the GC‐FID and MIMS methods. Detection limits were at low (μg/1 levels with the two gas chromatographic methods and clearly below μg/1 level with the MIMS method. Analysis of one sample takes 40 min with the gas chromatographic methods and five minutes with the MIMS method. The selectivity was good, especially with the GC‐ELCD and the MIMS method. In addition, quantitative results obtained with spiked water samples by the three methods are compared.


Court Properly Refused to Submit an All-Inclusive Proportional Responsibility Issue Across Multiple Causes of Action
 Isaacs complains because attorney Schleier was not part of the percentage of responsibility determination made by the jury. Isaacs asserts that the charge should have directed the jury to determine the percentage of responsibility for all parties (including Schleier) in a single, global finding. He argues that all possible recoveries, on whatever basis, must be combined for a gross determination by the jury.
To support that argument, Isaacs relies on the language of the statute, Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 33.003-33.017 (Vernon 1997 & Vernon Supp.2007). Citing no case authority, he correctly posits that the Code attempts to proportion responsibility for tortious acts, so that each individual plaintiff receives the amount due, and each individual defendant pays the amount for which he or she is responsible. Beyond that, however, the language of the statute is the key.
The jury determined the percentages of responsibility for Bishop and Isaacs for fraud. Separate questions asked about other damages caused by Schleier and assessing a percentage of responsibility between Schleier and Bishop on those.
If this issue was preserved,6 the question is whether the statute requires a single jury question to be used to allocate percentage responsibility for all damages alleged in the lawsuit, regardless of whether multiple causes of action or theories of liability are involved.
Isaacs correctly points out that broad-form submission is the preferred method of presentation to the jury. Rule 277 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure explicitly provides that the court "shall, whenever feasible, submit the cause upon broad-form submission." See Tex.R. Civ. P. 277. But broad-form submission is not always feasible. Romero, 166 S.W.3d at 230.7 Indeed, the failure to adequately divide out various forms of damage can itself result in reversible error. Id. at 226-27.8
The preference for broad-form submission must be balanced against the language of Section 33.003(a) of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code:
The trier of fact, as to each cause of action asserted, shall determine the percentage of responsibility ․ for [each claimant, defendant, settling person, and responsible third party who has been joined under Section 33.004] with respect to each person's causing or contributing to cause in any way the harm for which recovery of damages is sought․
Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 33.003(a) (emphasis added); see F.F.P. Operating Ptnrs., L.P. v. Duenez, 237 S.W.3d 680 (Tex.2007).
The standard for our review is whether the trial court abused its discretion in deciding how to submit the charge, in light of the presumption in favor of broad-form submission of questions. Tex. Dep't of Human Servs. v. E.B., 802 S.W.2d 647, 649 (Tex.1990).
The record shows that the trial court attempted to separate the causes of action and their resultant damages and allocate them against the different parties to assure that each section could be separately addressed on appeal. The court's decision is defensible. Damage awards from different causes of action should be separated rather than lumped into a single whole-especially where different, but related, causes of action against different, but related, defendants are involved. Failing to do so, in fact, has been held to be reversible error. See, e.g., Bed, Bath & Beyond v. Urista, 211 S.W.3d 753, 756 (Tex.2006); Casteel, 22 S.W.3d at 388-89; Roberts v. Whitfill, 191 S.W.3d 348, 357 (Tex.App.-Waco 2006, no pet.); First United Bank v. Panhandle Packing & Gasket, Inc., 190 S.W.3d 10, 17 (Tex.App.-Amarillo 2005, no pet.); Tex. Indus. v. Vaughan, 919 S.W.2d 798, 804 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1996, writ denied). Although related, the actions Bishop brought against Schleier were not the same ones brought against Isaacs. Isaacs does not argue now, and did not argue then, that either Isaacs or Schleier would be liable for the damages caused by the other in those alternative causes of action. The trial court carefully separated the damages to avoid overlap, and each defendant was found liable for damages for the particular causes of action asserted against that party.
We find unfounded Isaacs' argument that Section 33.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code absolutely requires a lump submission. The statutory mandate is described as not being discretionary; failing to correctly apply the law is an abuse of discretion. In re Kuntz, 124 S.W.3d 179, 181 (Tex.2003). The statute does not, as Isaacs argues, require damages for all causes of action to be combined in a single unified recovery. The statute explicitly requires proportionate responsibility to be determined as to each cause of action. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem.Code Ann. § 33.003.
While a single submission would be simpler, if it can be done fairly and accurately, here such a submission would not be fair or accurate. Merging damages from different causes of action and then requiring percentages be derived for damages not attributable to all defendants would actively create error. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by deciding not to give a single, unified proportional responsibility charge covering all causes of action.
(2) Denying Rescission to Bishop Was Within the Trial Court's Equitable Discretion
 Bishop argues that fraud-which Bishop did not discover until late in the discovery process-justified rescinding the contract and thus undoing the purchase. Bishop argues that the trial court abused its discretion by denying Bishop's right to rescind the purchase.
 Rescission is an equitable remedy that operates to extinguish a contract that is legally valid but must be set aside due to fraud, mistake, or for some other reason to avoid unjust enrichment. Martin v. Cadle Co., 133 S.W.3d 897, 903 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2004, pet. denied); Country Cupboard, Inc. v. Texstar Corp., 570 S.W.2d 70, 73-74 (Tex.Civ.App.-Dallas 1978, writ ref'd n.r.e.); see Humphrey v. Camelot Retirement Cmty., 893 S.W.2d 55, 59 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 1994, no writ). Rescission of a contract is an equitable remedy used as a substitute for monetary damages when such damages would not be adequate. Scott v. Sebree, 986 S.W.2d 364, 368 (Tex.App.-Austin 1999, pet. denied). Whether to grant rescission lies within the trial court's discretion. See Gentry v. Squires, 188 S.W.3d 396, 410 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2006, no pet.); Barker v. Roelke, 105 S.W.3d 75, 84 (Tex.App.-Eastland 2003, pet. denied); Tex. Capital Secs., Inc. v. Sandefer, 58 S.W.3d 760, 774 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, pet. denied); Humphrey, 893 S.W.2d at 59; Schenck v. Ebby Halliday Real Estate, Inc., 803 S.W.2d 361, 366 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 1990, no writ).
 Bishop sought to rescind the contract based on the jury finding that Isaacs engaged in fraud in connection with the purchase. A contract is subject to avoidance on that ground. Williams v. Glash, 789 S.W.2d 261, 264 (Tex.1990). In such a situation, an allegedly defrauded plaintiff has a choice to make, whether to claim the equitable remedy of rescission for fraud and try to get his or her property back or to affirm the transaction and seek damages. Calstar Props., L.L.C. v. City of Fort Worth, 139 S.W.3d 433, 440 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2004, no pet.); Scott, 986 S.W.2d at 368.
 To be entitled to rescission, a party must show that (1) he or she and the defrauding party are in the status quo (i.e., there are no retained benefits received under the instrument and not restored to the other party) or (2) there are equitable considerations that obviate the need

If any parts cannot be centred on the lathe for various reasons (hole through spindle too small, part too heavy, etc.), the centre square, centre bell or height gauge may be used depending on the specific application.
The part is machined on the end face which should be as plane and as flat as possible to avoid canting of the tools.
- Centring with the centre square
Fig. 20 shows how this is done:
The centre square is to be located at the workpiece diameter and a scribed marking of crossing lines to be applied by means of the scriber.
Figure 20 Centring with centre square
The point of intersection of the crossing lines defines the centre of the workpiece and of its diameter and is to be punch-marked as per Fig. 21 with the centre punch to be applied in the centre point.
Figure 21 Punch-marking of the central position
- Centring with the centre bell
When using the centre bell, scribing is not necessary. The centre of the workpiece is defined by the central position of the centre punch.
The centre bell is to be attached and applied as per Fig. 18 in section 3. It is held by one hand while punching is done with the other hand.
The diameter of the workpiece must be smaller than the diameter of the bell; otherwise the central position cannot be clearly defined. The centre bell must not be canted; otherwise the centre will be misplaced.
- Centring with the height gauge
The workpiece is to be inserted into a Vee. The point of the scriber (section 3, Fig. 19) is to be lined up with the highest point of the workpiece and to be lowered by d/2.

How to Draw Poliwag - Step-by-Step Tutorial
Interesting Facts about the Poliwag
Poliwag is a two-feet-tall water-type Pokemon, with a round body that is marked with a swirling pattern in its middle. Their eyes are wide and dark, and their lips are pink and often seem to be pouting. The most interesting feature of this Pokemon, however, could be its large fin-like tail. They look a lot like tadpoles. The spiral in the center of its body is thought to be effected by their proximity to the equator, which can cause it to face different directions. Because they are not very good on land and have no arms with which to feed themselves outside of water, they tend to stay in ponds and lakes, where they can dine on their favorite weed, salveyo weed. They are much better swimmers than runners.
Did you know?
- The spiral on a Poliwag's belly is actually its internal organs, being seen through the skin.
- Poliwag Pokemon cannot run with their newly-developed legs.
- Even though their skin is very thin, it is quite flexible and can withstand even the sharpest of fangs.
- Their tails are mostly transparent.
- It's recommended for Pokemon trainers to try and work with their Poliwag to better teach them how to walk.
Arts and Crafts Activity Notes: Using flour and water, create a paper-mache glue. Stir in water to flour until the glue makes a paste-like consistency. Inflate a balloon, tie it off and then begin applying the paper mache to the entire surface of the balloon using shredded pieces of paper. After applying three to four layers, set the balloon aside to dry. During this time, draw and color in the tail for your Poliwag on a sheet of paper. Cut it out carefully with safety scissors. Once the paper-mache on the balloon has dried, paint the surface of it with a non-toxic light blue paint, leaving a large circle in the middle uncovered. Add white to that spot later, and let dry. Once this first layer of paint has dried, add the black spiral to the Poliwag's midsection. Paint on eyes and a mouth as well. Carefully as to avoid getting paint on your hands or tearing the paper mache, use either glue or tape to fix the tail to your covered balloon. And now you have your very own Poliwag!

Monocular 3D Object Detection
This technology is a novel end-to-end trainable Grouped Mathematical Differentiable NMS (GrooMed-NMS) for monocular 3D object detection.
Modern 3D object detection methods have immensely benefitted from the end-to-end learning idea. However, most of them use a post-processing algorithm called Non-Maximal Suppression (NMS) only during inference. Although there have been attempts to include NMS in the training pipeline for other tasks such as 2D object detection, they have been less widely adopted due to a non-mathematical expression of the NMS.
Description of Technology
This technology formulates NMS as a matrix operation and then groups and masks the boxes in an unsupervised manner to obtain a simple closed-forms expression of the NMS. GrooMeD-NMS addresses the mismatch between training and inference
pipelines and therefore forces the network to select the best box in a differentiable manner. GrooMeDNMS achieves state-of-the-art monocular 3D object detection results on the KITTI dataset performing comparable to monocular video methods.
- This technology enables a end to-end trainable closed-form mathematical differential Non-Maximal Suppression..

We know less about the spring migration routes, which appear to be similar to those in fall, but with some shifts between corridors. Birds returning to Wrangel Island tend to fly along the British Columbia coast, but some of the Wrangel Island population also uses an interior route through Montana, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, and interior Alaska. Birds of western Canadian origin wintering in California fly north through Alberta, then down the Mackenzie valley to the western Arctic coast. Birds returning from the coast of the Gulf of Mexico fly up the Mississippi and Missouri river valleys to an important staging area southwest of Winnipeg and then in a more-or-less straight northeasterly line to James Bay and the Hudson Bay coast and north into the eastern Arctic.

Smart Bandage - A Hydrogel Supported Optical Microcavity Sensor
University of Rochester, US
biosensor, hydrogel, drug delivery, porous silicon, optical microcavity
Developing new medical diagnostic technologies that can be used in the home for early detection and disease prevention is a central focus at the University of Rochester Center for Future Health. This paper is concerned with developing a Smart Bandage concept envisioned as a therapeutic sheet containing an optical sensor designed to change color signaling an event that requires intervention such as the onset of infection or the detection of a pathogenic organism in a wound. Alternatively, the sensor can be designed to monitor the time released delivery of substances to promote wound healing. A device architecture representing a significant advance toward achieving these goals is presented. The Bandage is comprised of a porous silicon optical microcavity membrane sensor (5-7 ƒ_m thick) supported in a flexible hydrogel matrix. Key challenges in developing this technology are 1) maintaining an adequate sensitivity response and 2) developing methods to functionalize the sensor. Results are presented quantifying the magnitude of the bulk refractive index unit (RIU) sensitivity response demonstrating that the gel-supported microcavity device remains sufficiently sensitive to detect small changes in refractive index. The long-term stability of the sensor is also demonstrated.

MIT.nano is a state of the art facility designed to support the next generation of nano-technology research at MIT, one of the world's leading institutions in science and mathematics. Acentech teamed with architect Wilson HGA to provide noise and vibration consulting services throughout the design process.
During pre-design, Acentech performed a number of site measurements around the MIT campus to help the school select the ideal location for this facility. Once the site was selected, additional measurements were conducted to determine what levels of vibration could be expected in the completed building.
Now complete, this building houses a variety of vibration sensitive spaces, including specialized labs and two cleanrooms. Specifically, the basement holds eight, sensitive imaging suites that have been specifically designed to provide a research environment with very low levels of acoustic noise and vibration. Acentech worked with MIT and the designers to provide the necessary supplemental vibration and acoustic isolation to meet the design goals. Acentech also provided mechanical systems noise and vibration control services to ensure that the vibration and noise generated by building systems would be consistent with the building's design goals.
One unique aspect of MIT.nano is the use of live telemetry systems to continually monitor vibration in sensitive areas. MIT.nano is a low vibration facility and MIT intends to use these systems to keep it that way. Acentech is pleased to be involved with MIT to provide these monitoring systems and to help design alert protocols to enable the building operators to "keep tabs" on the building's low vibration environment throughout its lifetime.

Can You Eat Ragi for Weight Gain? Can Ragi Helps in Building Muscle?
Do you eat ragi for weight gain?
But isn't ragi used for weight loss?
Ragi is typically associated with weight loss and not weight gain. Ragi can suppress your hunger, thus it might lead to eating less food and that might lead to weight loss.
But instead of weight loss, you should use the term fat loss with ragi.
If eaten with an overall low-calorie diet, ragi can help you lose fat. Some research even say it can reduce cholesterol as well.
Ragi for Weight Gain
If you eat ragi with milk or make some other high-calorie dishes, then ragi can help you with muscle gain as well.
But ragi is high in fiber and other nutrients, if taken in moderation along with a healthy diet it can help you with gaining weight.
Ragi is also rich in protein named eleusinin, this amino acid can be easily absorbed, thus many gym goers can benefit from ragi as their pre workout meal as well.
That works if you are working out, though!
Ragi is a nutrient-rich superfood which has been found to help with weight gain and healthy weight loss.
It is a good source of fiber and nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which can help reduce fat and unhealthy cholesterol levels.
Ragi seeds are also good for improving sleep and reducing anxiety, depression, and other issues related to mental health.
As per some researches, ragi or finger millet has a high amount of calcium as well! So daily some ragi intake will help you get stronger bones thus it will be beneficial for gym workouts as well.
Research with 720 women says that finger millet in your diet will increase calcium in your body significantly.
And if you workout then this will help you with increasing your bone density and muscle gain.

Ragi Is High in Proteins Which Might Help with Weight Gain
Ragi flour is a high-quality source of protein and contains essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for muscle growth and repair. Millet is a good source of protein for vegetarians who lack methionine in their staple diet. Methionine is an essential amino acid that is not found in plant-based proteins as often as other amino acids. Millet is a quality muscle-building food due to its high value of amino acids.

A protégé is a person who receives special protection and promotion from someone more established in a field. If your boss introduces you as his newest protégé, you're off to a good start in your career.
Essentially, a protégé is a teacher's pet, someone who is given special status or favors. Often, the word is used for someone who has special standout talent and is taken up as an upcoming star or powerhouse. The word's original associations, however, have nothing to do with talent and everything to do with how a person treats the protégé — the source of the word means "protection."

Similarly, drinking of water immediately after eating fruits cause indigestion. It is summer season crop. It is mainly grown in the month of February to March.
EASY 2 SOW / EASY 2 GROW
Having Difficulty in sowing / Germination / Growing seeds, who else can be the better guide to you for Gardening than the seeds man themselves here at Kraft Seeds
STEPS TO SOW TILL GROW :
Steps : SEED – SOIL – SOW – WATER- CARE – GROW
1) Seed - Open the Kraft Seeds packets on a blank white sheet of paper, so that while opening the packet if the seeds fall (seeds being very small and tiny) you are able to save them on that sheet – Collect and then ready for sowing.
2) Soil – a very important part of sowing- Take Agropeat / Cocopeat (Agropeat / Cocopeat) and mix it in water and keep it overnight. (Ratio of Agropeat to water – 1kg of Agropeat to 5 litre of water) Use that mixture to mix it with soil (Ratio of Agropeat mixture to Soil – 80:20) Agropeat helps in the germination of seeds a lot.
3) Sow - Take a seed Tray (A seed tray available of various holes sizes), fill the above mixture in all the holes of the seed tray, and then Sow 2-3 seeds in each hole (.5 or 1 inch deep in the soil hole)
4) Water – Taking care while watering is very important in the first few days of sowing. For the first 10-12 days water the seed/ Soil only through a garden Water sprayer / sprinkler (nozzle of water sprayer set to sprinkle) as hush of water will break or flush the seed.
5) Care – Keep an eye on the soil and seedling growing, if it by any chance it gets attack by intruders (Weed / Pest / Ants) keep your ammunitions ready, recommend Organic Pest Nil, Organic Ant Kill to protect your plant.
6) Grow – Once the seedling is healthy, you may transplant it to your desired planter or Garden and yes remember to keep giving strength to your plant by using Organic Biofit Organic Enzyme for Roots, Organic Manure.

RBAC Policy Testing
_URL_
OpenStack deployments have standard RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) policies that are customized in different ways by users of OpenStack. These policies need to be enforced and verified to ensure secure operation of an Openstack Deployment.
Problem Description
Currently there is no unified way to test that RBAC policies are correctly enforced. This is important because these policies define how potentially sensitive information and functionality are accessed.
Proposed Change
The proposed solution involves creating a plugin that enables RBAC tests to be written in such a way that they can verify that an individual policy was correctly enforced on the specified rbac_role. Tests should primarily be written as an extension of an existing Tempest test that is wrapped in the plugin's functionality. The plugin determines what roles should have access to a given API based on the policy.json file for that service.
For example, a test can be written that only tests the policies for "compute_extension:services" as follows:
@test.requires_ext(extension='os-services', service='compute')
@rbac_rule_validation.action(
 component="Compute",
 rule="compute_extension:services")
@test.idempotent_id('ec55d455-bab2-4c36-b282-ae3af0efe287')
def test_services_ext(self):
 try:
 rbac_utils.switch_role(self, switchToRbacRole=True)
 self.client.list_services()
 finally:
 rbac_utils.switch_role(self, switchToRbacRole=False)
A key aspect of these tests is that they are testing only a single policy, even though a normal flow might require the usage of actions covered by multiple policies. To enable this, the role used for the tests will alternate between "admin" and the "rbac_role" specified in the config options. This is done so that there is no chance of other policies besides the one being tested changing the outcome of the test. To switch roles, the switch_role method of rbac_utils is called. Calling the method with switchToRbacRole=True tells Keystone to set the current role to the "rbac_role" while switchToRbacRole=False tells Keystone to set the current role to "admin".
This effort involves creating the plugin for new tests that verify correct RBAC policy enforcement. This effort will include sample tests but is not intended to provide full testing coverage of all policies and APIs. The core code will exist in an external repository containing a plugin, while individual tests will be written within the plugin. There is not currently any functionality that needs to be added to tempest/lib, but that may change as more tests are written.
Alternatives
An alternative is to utilize the cinnamon-role plugin that was being considered.
Advantages: Utilizing the cinnamon-role plugin enables RBAC functionality to be wrapped around existing tests with minimal extra effort.
Disadvantages: Cinnamon-role doesn't allow for testing of individual API endpoints by switching role mid-test.
Another alternative is to add the RBAC test framework into Tempest's core functionality.
Advantages: Easier deployment, don't need extra addons.
Disadvantages: Rbac testing is not something that is considered part of Tempest's core functionality.

With the average daily U.S. commute at about 25 minutes, many workers are spending at least an hour traveling each day to and from work. For some densely populated cities, such as Chicago or New York, this average is 30 to 35 minutes, sometimes more.
Then, there are workers who are considered "extreme commuters," who travel more than 90 minutes each way to their jobs each day (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau). That's at least three hours spent in the car, on the bus, or otherwise, traveling every day to work.
While you might be eager at the chance to jump at any job opportunityno matter the commutethere are important things to consider before taking a job with a long commute. Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself:
1. Can you afford the costs? If you plan to commute with your personal car, the costs can be killer. Gas, car repairs, regular car maintenance, and public transportation costs are just some of the costs you might incur on your daily commute. Not to mention adding to pollution and increasing your health risks for things such as high blood pressure and musculoskeletal disorders.
2. Is the job really worth it? Sure, you might be getting paid more money than if you accepted a job in your local area, but does the increased salary really make up for the other things you'll need to worry about? Commuting costs, lost time, and more stress are just a few to consider.
3. Can you handle it? Will the trade-off ultimately be worth it? There are a lot of stories of workers taking on long commutes for what they think are good reasons, only to regret their decision in the end.
4. Will it eliminate a lot of your free time? Do you enjoy spending time off with family and friends? Do you like going to the movies during the week or enjoy helping your kids with homework? Think about how much free time accepting a job with a long commute might eliminate, and consider if you can accept not having as much time for things you enjoy.
What do you think? Would you accept a great job with a long commute? Have you had one before? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Hi all. I am currently taking a beginning class in C programming and am working on an assignment where I need to prompt the user to enter an expression then display the expression and the result. e.g
Enter INT Expression: 6 / 2
Result: 6 / 2 = 3
I know how to store the INT values using the scanf function, but I'm not sure how I should go about storing the operator. Also once I have the operator stored, how should I go about writing an expression to store the result. I know how if the operator was a constant, e.g. "x + y = result", but how should I approach it when the operator is a variable. Thanks in advance for the help.

Promotion: Real Versions and Virtual Versions
Software development is much more than just creating and modifying files. A typical development project involves many phases, possibly including initial development, integration of work done independently, internal system testing, external testing, and final production. AccuRev uses a promotion model to manage files in these multiple development phases. Files progress through the phases, one by one: when a set of files pass the tests (if any) mandated for a particular phase, a user working on that phase promotes them to the next phase.
AccuRev keeps track of each promotion by creating a new version of each promoted file. But promotion doesn't change the contents of a file, it only changes the file's approval level. Thus, each new version object created by promotion is merely an additional reference to (or alias for) the same file in the depot's file storage area.
AccuRev distinguishes between the original version, created by a keep operation, and all the additional versions created by a promote operation:
Real version
Created by operations like keep, add, merge, rename, etc. The operation creates a new version object in the metadata stored for the depot and places a new file in the depot's file storage area.
Virtual version
Created by a promote. It creates a new version object in the metadata stored for the depot, which provides an additional reference to an existing file in the file storage area. Conversely, a demote operation removes a virtual version.


Turkish jewelry company Tasarim Takarim immortalizes the wild, creative imaginations of children by making custom jewelry based on their art. This is Colossal reports that the two-year-old company, founded by artists Yasemin Erdin Tavukçu and Özgür Karavit, converts children's drawings into gold and silver ornaments that can be worn as necklaces, bracelets, or even cufflinks.
Like the artwork they re-create, each piece of jewelry is unique. Tasarim Takarim uses different tools and develops new methods for each work of art. Their goal is to convert the colorful doodles and intricate scribbles of children into two-dimensional metal pendants that capture the spirit of the child's original artwork as much as its form. Tasarim Takarim sells its whimsical creations on its website and on Etsy. Check out a few examples of the work below.

- Provide the correct diet for a leopard gecko such as fresh crickets and mealworms. Dust any dried foods with a vitamin supplement.
- Isolate any aggressive gecko.
I hope this has answered why your leopard gecko is closing one eye. Any unusual behavior can be concerning as a leopard gecko owner. But with a little patience and know-how, you can identify these issues quickly and get your little lizard buddy back to his or her best.
If you need help with that, we recommend bringing your leopard gecko to a vet or booking an online vet at Vetster here!

About John Morris Sheppard
John Morris Sheppard (May 28, 1875 – April 9, 1941) was a Democratic United States Congressman and United States Senator from Texas. He authored the Eighteenth Amendment (Prohibition) and introduced it in the Senate, so that he is referred to as "the father of national Prohibition."
John Morris Sheppard was born in Morris County in east Texas, the oldest of seven children, to lawyer and later judge and United States Representative John Levi Sheppard and his wife the former Margaret Alice Eddins.
Through his mother Margaret, Morris was a direct descendent of Robert Morris (1734–1806) who had signed the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution.
Sheppard enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin in 1891 and received his B.A. degree from there in 1895, as well as his LL.B. from University of Texas School of Law in 1897. It was while enrolled at UT-Austin Law School that Sheppard became a member of the Methodist Church. He was also a close friend and classmate of future Governor of Texas Pat Neff and future U. S. Senator Tom Connally while at the University of Texas School of Law. In 1898, he received his LL.M. from Yale University.
He began practicing law with his father in Pittsburg, Texas and later Texarkana.
In 1902, Morris Sheppard was elected as a Democrat to replace his deceased father in the United States House of Representatives. He held a seat until his resignation in 1913, when he succeeded in his bid to fill a vacancy in the Senate.
Sheppard held his Senate seat until his death in Washington, D.C. in 1941, serving as Democratic whip between 1929 and 1933. Future U.S. President and then-representative Lyndon B. Johnson ran unsuccessfully for Sheppard's Senate seat in the special election called after Sheppard's death.
As Senator, Sheppard sponsored progressive reform legislation promoting rural credit programs, child labor laws, and antitrust laws. He was also an advocate of the Women's suffrage in the United States.
During his tenure, he was a vocal supporter of the temperance movement. He helped write the Webb-Kenyon Act (1913) to regulate the interstate shipment of alcoholic beverages, authored the Sheppard Bone-Dry Act (1916) to impose prohibition on the District of Columbia, introduced the Senate resolution for the Eighteenth Amendment establishing national prohibition, and helped write the Volstead Act which provided for its enforcement.
However, during the Prohibition era, a still that produced 130 gallons of moonshine per day was discovered on a Texas ranch that Sheppard owned.
Sheppard-Towner Maternity and Infancy Protection Act of 1921
Co-sponsored by Morris Sheppard and Horace Mann Towner, the Sheppard-Towner Act of 1921 provided Federal matching funds for services aimed to reduce maternal and infant mortality. The funding included: midwife training; visiting nurses for pregnant women and new mothers; distribution of nutrition and hygiene information; health clinics, doctors and nurses, for pregnant women, mothers and children.
Federal Credit Union Act of 1934
Senator Morris Sheppard and Congressman Wright Patman are considered the fathers of the Federal Credit Union Act of 1934. Sheppard was the act's author. The bill had stalled in the United States House of Representatives considerably shortening the time the Senate had to pass the final version. Rather than sending the bill to a Conference Committee, Sheppard asked the United States Senate to pass the bill unanimously without reading the bill or the amendments. The bill passed the Senate unanimously. The Morris Sheppard Credit Union in Texarkana, Texas carries the Senator's name, while the institution's local credit union chapter is named after Congressman Patman.
On December 1, 1909, Sheppard married Lucille Sanderson. The couple had three daughters. Sheppard and his wife were the grandparents of Connie Mack, III, Republican U.S. Senator from Florida, and great-grandparents of Connie Mack IV, Republican U.S. Representative from Florida. Other Sheppard grandsons were Democrat Richard Sheppard Arnold (1936–2004) and Republican Morris Sheppard "Buzz" Arnold (born 1941), federal appeals court judges in Arkansas. The federal courthouse in Little Rock is named in Judge Richard Arnold's honor. Judge Morris Arnold, a Republican, remains on the Eighth Circuit court under senior status.
Senator Morris died in office of a brain hemorrhage on April 9, 1941. He is interred at Hillcrest Cemetery in Texarkana, Texas.
The year following Sheppard's death, Lucille Sanderson Sheppard, married United States Senator from Texas, Tom Connally. Senator Connally also pre-deceased Lucille. When she died in 1980, she was buried with her first husband Morris Sheppard in Hillcrest Cemetery.


Ozone 'Groundhog' kiting wing for ground handling and training
Ground-handling is one of the most important aspects of paragliding and paramotoring progression. With the Groundhog, pilots can progress and learn the most basic or most advanced aspects of ground-handling in strong or light winds safely and easily.
Because the Groundhog is considerably smaller than a normal wing, it can be used for ground-handling training in higher wind, meaning that schools and students will lose less training days because of weather.
Also, the smaller size of the Groundhog makes it easier to use. Students are less likely to be dragged or picked up, and the wing's quick reactions to brake input and footwork help to increase the progression of the pilot.
 - The Ozone GroundHog is for ground-handling practice.
 - Small, simple design for easy training
 - Ground-handling is one of the best ways to improve your flying.
 - Can be used to practice ground-handling in higher winds than normal paragliders, Not for flight!

Reclamation in the Highland Valley : the classification of disturbed areas for evaluation and planning Lloyd, Cecilia Jane
The Highland Valley has the greatest concentration of open-pit hardrock mines in Western Canada. It is anticipated that the reclamation of 8,000 ha of disturbed land will eventually be necessary. This study was undertaken to evaluate existing reclamation methods and objectives and to predict the effects of reclamation upon land-use in the area. Physical characteristics of disturbed materials and the effect of aspect on moisture conditions in disturbed materials were investigated. Natural vegetation, natural revegetation and land-use were surveyed. Reclamation trials were assessed. Disturbed materials differed significantly in texture. Aspect did not affect moisture conditions in disturbed materials but sites exposed to wind were significantly drier than sheltered sites. The factors texture, exposure, topography and elevation were used to classify disturbed areas into 13 reclamation site-types. Each reclamation site-type had characteristic reclamation requirements. Existing and anticipated reclamation site-types were delineated on maps. Information acquired from surveys and from assessment of reclamation trials and results of reclamation research in other regions were used to propose suitable reclamation techniques and land-use objectives for each reclamation site-type. A plan of the predicted land-use of the Highland Valley resulting from adoption of these techniques and objectives was compiled. Methods of reclaiming two of the reclamation site-types have been developed in the Highland Valley but reclamation trials have not been located in the disturbed areas which present more difficult conditions for plant establishment and growth. Future research should be directed towards solving the problems caused by steep slopes, exposure and the peculiar characteristics of tailings. The potential impact of reclamation on land-use is large. The amount of rangeland in the Highland Valley could be increased by 4400 ha. An over-abundance of wildlife may result from temporary increases in the amount of habitat available.

A power failure on July 2, which affected two million people from Canada to Mexico, began with an Idaho transmission line that short-circuited when electricity jumped to a tree that had grown too close, investigators say.
The failure in that line, combined with record demands of power during hot weather, led to a ripple effect that cut power to 15 Western states and parts of Canada and Mexico, said Corry Alsberg, a spokeswoman for a group of regional utilities.
Investigators announced their conclusions about the blackout -- which lasted a few hours -- at a closed meeting of the Western Systems Coordinating Council on Friday.
The tree caused the electricity to arc, or flashover, in a remote area about 100 miles east of the Kinport substation in southeastern Idaho. The Idaho line carries 345,000 volts.
The flashover, in combination with several other factors, was enough to trip the first in a series of blackouts. Other factors in the failure included near-record hydropower generation in the Pacific Northwest and California as well as high power transfers on lines between the Pacific Northwest and California.

Communities Putting Prevention to Work
The Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) is an initiative created by the Department of Health and Human Services as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The purpose of CPPW is to reduce risk factors and prevent/delay chronic disease associated with two of the leading causes of preventable death, obesity and tobacco use. The initiative is supported by the Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade, a Miami-Dade County Health Department initiative, which will act as a link for key local, county, and state organizations to work together to reduce the incidence of obesity within the county.
CPPW proposes to tackle the various components that affect obesity among children and adults in Miami-Dade County by:
- Using media, access, points of promotion/price and social support strategies to implement policy, systems, and environmental changes.

Skills gaps still present a major barrier for small local charities and community organisations across the UK, with more training still cited as a solution to the problem. However as one size will not fit all, the challenge for umbrella support bodies who provide training is to flex their delivery models to meet the needs of small and local charities and community groups. We must come together to offer a blended learning experience, meeting the needs of those who live in well-connected urban centres to those who live and work in rural settings, to respond to the requirements of paid staff and the differing
requirements of volunteers, and to those who prefer or require distance learning to those who seek face to face support. Read the Small Charity Skills Survey 18/19.
- Skills areas with the poorest performance ratings include lobbying (57%), government relations (54%) and the latest HR laws (52%).
- Skills areas which respondents rated strongly include basic IT skills (76%), organisational skills (76%) and people management (72%).
- Fundraisers remain the most challenging vacancy to recruit for, according to 23% of small charities.
- Salary is the most commonly cited barrier to why vacancies are hard to fill, identified by 18% of respondents.
- In fundraising, legacy fundraising (72%), online fundraising (70%) and major donor fundraising (69%) were the top three categories in need of most upskilling by small charities.
- Trustee governance (28%) was selected as the area that most needed upskilling amongst trustees.
- 75% of small charities believe trustees ought to play an active role in fundraising, while only 46% actually do play an active role.
- Within financial management, 36% believed fundraising required the most development.
- Business planning (28%) was identified as the area requiring most upskilling by management specialists.
- Within the field of public policy, 57% indicated lobbying as requiring the greatest upskilling.
- Website development (43%) was selected as needing further upskilling the most within IT.
- First aid was indicated by 27% of respondents as requiring further upskilling within Health and Safety.
- In marketing and communications, structuring communication plans was identified by 50% of respondents as needing upskilling.
- Securing resources (36%), such as sponsorship and income, was selected as the area requiring greatest upskilling by respondents in project management roles.
- Lack of funding for training and development (64%) and lack of time available for employees to attend training (51%) remain as the primary causes for skills gaps within their small charity.
- The main impacts of skills gaps identified were an increased workload for colleagues (48%), increased time to
deliver work (45%) and decreased ability to take on new work (42%).
- The most common action believed to be the best solution, and also taken to address skills gaps, was further training provision (47%).
- Only 16% perceived using volunteers instead of paid employees as a solution, yet 36% took this as an action to address skills gaps.
- The majority (69%) reported having a formal business plan, but only 15% have an annual training plan linked to the business plan.
As previously stated, they support those most in need and so must be supported themselves to continue to carry out the services they deliver. Both government and other public funders should take action to ensure that they give these charities the opportunity to be self sustaining through investment in building their capacity to thrive, part of which is the development of skills across the sector.
1) Government and other public funders to take the lead by demonstrating long-term commitment to affordable skills development and capacity building.
It has been proven time and time again that smaller charities and community groups are a clear route to accessing and supporting the needs of the most vulnerable in our society. Government and other funders, especially the vital Trusts, Foundations, Livery Companies and other private funders, play a vital role in ensuring the health of civil society and their ability to make long-term funding commitments is therefore crucial. We ask Government and private funders to invest in developing the skills of smaller charities to ensure their future.
2) Infrastructure organisations to come together to work collaboratively to ensure that the support they offer is connected, easily identified and accessible tailored to meet the diverse needs of smaller organisations. This should include a blend of face to face and remote learning so that smaller organisations who are not able to access face to face learning are also afforded opportunities to develop skills.
Together infrastructure bodies can offer so much more and can ensure that more small charities are aware of the support that is available to them. We urge all infrastructure organisations to come together to share their programmes to ensure that as many small charities as possible are offered the opportunity to participate in skills development.
3) Trustees of smaller charities make a commitment to the organisational and personal development of both staff and volunteers withing their charities.
We cannot expect others to invest in us if we do not take every opportunity to invest in ourselves. We urge trustees to lead their organisation by making budgets available for trustee, staff and volunteer training. We urge those working in small charities to use all opportunities whether that be formal training or skills sharing between organisations, to increase their knowledge and skills.
- The report states that 952 small charities responded to the first 6 surveys – a total of 952 responses were received from 433 individual charities, as the data was collected through 6 different surveys.
- Section 2 'Fundraising' received significantly higher responses (1,625 total from 810 individual charities) as it was collected from attendees at FSI training through existing pre-training survey mechanisms.


11 Parts of an Award Certificate
How many of these elements does your certificate design have?
An award certificate for recognizing achievements is a simple piece of paper. There is usually a title plus the name of the recipient but there are also a few more components that make up most award certificates.
The components discussed here apply primarily to certificates of achievement; employee, student, or teacher recognition awards; and certificates of participation. Diplomas and similar official documents of certification may have additional elements related to their legal status.
Necessary Text Elements
Most informal certificates include the following items:
 - Title: Usually, at the top of the certificate, the title is the main headline that usually reflects the type of document. It may be as simple as the word Award or Certificate of Achievement. Longer titles might incorporate the name of the organization giving the award or some catchy title such as Johnson Tileworks Employee of the Month Award or Award to the Wise Spelling Bee Certificate of Participation.
 - Presentation Line: This short line of text usually follows the title and may say is awarded to, is hereby presented to or some other variation, followed by the recipient. Alternately, it may read something like: This certificate is presented on [DATE] by [FROM] to [RECIPIENT].
 - Recipient: Simply the name of the person, persons, or group receiving the award. In some cases, the recipient's name is enlarged or made to stand out as much as or even more than the title.
 - From: This element presents the name of the person or organization bestowing the award. It may be explicitly stated in the text of the certificate or implied by the signature at the bottom or perhaps by having a company logo on the certificate.
 - Description: The reason for the certificate is explained here. It could be a simple statement (such as a high score in a bowling tournament) or a lengthier paragraph outlining specific characteristics or achievements of the award recipient. The best award certificates are personalized to reflect exactly why the recipient is receiving the recognition.
 - Date: The date when the certificate was earned or presented is usually written out before, within, or after the description. Typically the date is spelled out as in 31st Day of October or Fifth Day of May 2017.
 - Signature: Most certificates have a space near the bottom where the certificate is signed by a representative of the organization authorizing the award. The name or title of the signatory may also be included below the signature. Sometimes there may be space for two signatories, such as the company president and the recipient's immediate supervisor.
Important Graphic Elements
Beyond the text elements, most informal awards and certificates include a handful of common visual motifs:
 - Border: Not every certificate has a frame or border around it, but it's a common component.
 - Logo: Some organizations may include a logo or some other image related to the organization or subject of the certificate. For example, a school might include their mascot, a club might use a picture of a golf ball for a golf club award, or a picture of a book for a summer reading program participation certificate.
 - Seal: A certificate might have a seal affixed (such as stick-on gold starburst seal) or have an image of a seal printed directly on the certificate.
 - Lines: Some certificates may include blank spaces while others will have lines, like a fill-in-the-blank form where the name, description, date, and signature go (to be either typed or handwritten).
