Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
Tesem (Dog tsm.png = tsm) was the Ancient Egyptian name for "hunting dog". In popular literature it denotes the prick-eared, leggy dog with a curled tail from the early Egyptian age, but it was also used with reference to the lop-eared "saluki/sloughi" type;,[1] it was one of several types of dogs in Ancient Egypt, particularly the latter type had an appearance most similar to that of a greyhound..
Examples of three different types of dogs shown on Egyptian monuments
Three main types of dogs are shown in Ancient Egypt, these being the pariah dog, the greyhound-like dog and a molosser-type dog.[2] It is assumed that there were two types of greyhound-like breeds, these being the older Tesem [3] and the saluki/sloughi type.[4] The two greyhound-types were clearly distinguished in tomb decorations,[5] with the Tesem thought to be similar to modern pariah dogs.[6] One writer believed that the name Tesem applied to both types of greyhound-like dogs.[1]
The prick-eared Tesem's origins are presumed to be from further south than Egypt, from Nubia and also the Land of Punt,[7] whose location is unclear but thought to be to the south east of Egypt on the Horn of Africa.[8]
A drawing of a Tesem type dog appears in Nagada, dated from the Protodynastic Period of Egypt (dated 3200 BC to 3000 BC). The dogs were drawn with upright ears and a tightly curled tail.[9] One of the earliest known recordings of these dogs is the "Khufu dog" from the tomb of King Khufu,[10] who reigned between 2609–2584 BC.[11] This dog was named Akbaru, and was depicted wearing a collar.[10]
They continued to appear during the Middle Kingdom period (2055 BC and 1650 BC), but by the time of the New Kingdom (1550 BC - 1069 BC), they were replaced by dogs with hanging ears and a straight tail.[9] These dogs were of the saluki/sloughi type.[12]
The Pharaoh Hound of Malta and the Cirneco dell'Etna of Sicily were both popularly and controversially thought to be possible descendants of the Tesem.[13] [14]
Ancient Egyptians gave the name Tesem to the early curly tailed dogs that resembled a sighthound.[15] These dogs were featured on monuments,[15] and in wall paintings that showed their lean body with noticeable prick ears.[7] They had a greyish-yellow coat, with long legs and a broad prominent forehead. Their size exceeded the Pariah dogs of the time. The structure of their skeleton was closer to the modern terrier than that of the modern greyhound.[16]

German Transport Planning Prize awarded
The Association for Urban, Regional and State Planning SRL e. V. in cooperation with the VCD 2020 is awarding the German Transport Planning Prize for the sixth time: "VOM PARKRAUM ZUM FREIRAUM. Projects and concepts for a traffic turnaround in public space".
Projects and concepts that solve complex tasks in an innovative and interdepartmental manner and initiate cooperation in urban and transport planning are honoured. These should be characterised by integrated urban and transport planning, high design quality and an improved environmental situation. In doing so, the growing space requirements of pedestrian and bicycle traffic as well as public transport are to be taken into account, as well as the requirements for liveable urban spaces and climate adaptation measures.
Against the background of growing competition for space, the projects offer solutions for dealing with parking and show good examples of a fairer distribution of space. They increase the quality of stay in the street space and thus make an important contribution to the traffic turnaround.
Deadline for submissions is Tuesday, September 1, 2020 at 12:00 pm. The award will be presented at the SRL Annual Conference on 19 November 2020 in Karlsruhe.

Enhancing infrared extinction and absorption in a monolayer graphene sheet by harvesting the electric dipolar mode of split ring resonators
Optical extinction and absorption enhancement in the infrared range of a monolayer graphene sheet by patterning split ring resonators (SRRs) is studied. It is found that the electric mode is stronger in enhancing infrared extinction and absorption compared to the magnetic mode and other higher-order modes. We improve the infrared extinction of the SRR graphene sheet by increasing the graphene area ratio in the SRR unit cell design. With the increase of the graphene area ratio, the radiation ability of the electric dipolar mode and dissipation of graphene compete for a maximum infrared absorption of about 50%. The findings on enhancing infrared extinction and absorption of graphene sheet by harvesting the electric dipolar mode may have potential applications in terahertz and infrared detection and modulation for graphene photonics and optoelectronics.


double-edged sword for groups, it is a panacea for the individuals who accumulate it (until their group collapses because of their despotism). Amassing power is a proven way to increase reproductive success (Betzig, 1986). So it is no wonder that humans have an urge to seek power. If a behavior leads to reproductive success, organisms will develop an urge to do it.
I am going to discuss three "pathways to power"5. These are ways that individuals can increase their social influence within a group.
Pathway to Power 1: Make your subordinates more submissive
One way to increase your power is to make your existing subordinates more submissive. By doing so, you make your power more absolute.
While potent, coercion is an expensive way to increase your power. The more you coerce someone, the more they will dream of killing you. This is the fear of every despot – that their subordinates will turn on them. So while coercion can exact obedience, it requires constant vigilance. Ignore your coerced subordinates for a moment and you may find a dagger in your back.
A less expensive way to make your subordinates more submissive is to turn to the power of ideas. Convince your subordinates that you have the legitimate right to command them and you immediately increase your power.
What matters is its virulence. To work, your ideology must infect the minds of your subordinates. It must convince them that your power is legitimate.
Whether you use coercion or ideology (or both), making your subordinates more submissive can increase your power. That being said, this approach is not an effective way to accumulate power. Why? Because having absolute power over a few subordinates hardly makes you Napoleon. To achieve great power, you need to become the master of many.
Pathway to Power 2: Accumulate direct subordinates
With Napoleon as your inspiration, you set out to accumulate subordinates. How do you do it? One way is to accumulate direct subordinates. A direct subordinate is someone who is directly under your control. They listen to you and no one else.
While simple, there are obvious limits to this pathway to power. Even the most charismatic person will find it hard to maintain direct power relations with hundreds of people. Yet to be powerful like Napoleon, you need hundreds of thousands of subordinates.
Pathway to Power 3: Accumulate indirect subordinates
If you are not satisfied with the number of subordinates you can control directly, the next step is to encourage your subordinates to find their own subordinates. By doing so, you accumulate indirect subordinates.
We assume here that power is "transitive". So if Bob controls Charlotte and Alice controls Bob, then Alice also controls Charlotte. When power is transitive, it forms a chain of command.
The advantage of accumulating indirect subordinates is that you don't need to manage relations with many people.
The disadvantage of having indirect subordinates, however, is that power is not perfectly transitive. Power gets diluted as it is passed down the chain of command.
You have to maintain the chain of command so that power flows smoothly.
The road to hierarchy
The best way to accumulate power is to use all three pathways: make your subordinates extremely submissive, accumulate direct subordinates, and encourage your subordinates to accumulate subordinates. When you pursue all three pathways to power, what do you get? In a word, hierarchy.
A hierarchy is a network in which every relation is a power relation. To maintain the hierarchy, you must make sure your subordinates are submissive (pathway 1). Next, you encourage all of your subordinates to command multiple subordinates of their own. This combines pathways 2 and 3, and leads to the quintessential feature of a hierarchy – the branching chain of command.
Think about the structure of hierarchy. As each new layer of hierarchy is added, the number of subordinates you command grows exponentially.
Now you have power that rivals Napoleon's. And our evolutionary theory predicts that you will use it to your advantage. You will use your immense power to take an exceptional share of the resource pie.
With a bit of evolutionary reasoning, it becomes clear that our relations must be what drives the distribution of income inside groups. Moreover, when groups organize using power relations, we have a clear prediction for how income should be distributed. I have called this prediction the power ethos: to each according to their social influence. Hierarchies, I have argued, are the quintessential tool for concentrating power. In them, the power ethos should dominate. In other words, in a hierarchy it's not what you know that shapes your income. It's who you control.
Part III: Evidence for the Power Ethos
Having proposed that the power ethos should prevail within hierarchies, I now put this idea to the test. I look for evidence of the power ethos inside modern firms.
To test for the power ethos, we need to quantify power.
But because power is difficult to quantify, this idea has rarely been tested.
As a consequence, a promising theory of resource distribution has languished.
To measure power, I propose that we break it down into two dimensions. We will distinguish between the number of people one influences and the strength of this influence. The purpose of doing so is to distinguish between qualitative and quantitative aspects of power. The strength of one's influence over others is a qualitative aspect of power. It is determined by the obedience of one's followers, which is difficult to quantify.
Slaves are far more obedient than Twitter followers. So these two forms of social influence are qualitatively different.
In contrast, the number of people one influences is easy to quantify. We just count people!
Here is where our two dimensions of power are useful. While we may not be able to (easily) quantify the obedience of followers, we can probably agree on a rough ranking. We can agree that social media followers are less obedient than employees in a corporate hierarchy.
Once we rank obedience, I argue that we can reduce power to a single dimension.
Let's first go through this obedience ranking. Then we will discuss why it is relevant for measuring power.
Figure 7 The Two Dimensions of Power. The y-axis ranks different forms of power in terms of the obedience of followers. The x-axis shows the number of followers of the given individual.
In this paper, I am going to stay inside the bureaucratic hierarchy zone of obedience, visualized in Figure 8. Inside the bureaucratic hierarchy zone, obedience is institutionalized. This means that obedience does not depend on personal characteristics. Instead, it depends on institutional position.
The bureaucratic hierarchy zone is where the institutions of capitalism live. Bureaucratic hierarchy is how firms and governments are organized. More broadly, I would guess that it is how all large institutions in human history are organized.
Power is proportional to the number of subordinates one controls.
Figure 10 shows this equivalence between firm size and the hierarchical power of the CEO.
We will use this equivalence to see if the relative income of CEOs grows with hierarchical power.
Figure 11 shows how the CEO pay ratio grows with hierarchical power among US CEOs. Among these CEOs, it seems that the power ethos prevails. Relative income grows with hierarchical power.
Next, I will look at the income of all employees within firms.
In these firms, it seems that the power ethos prevails. Average income within hierarchical ranks is strongly proportional to hierarchical power.
The evidence above does not convince mainstream economists to abandon their theory. It is impossible to disprove that an unmeasured skill causes the returns to hierarchical power. The best we can do is show that measured skill does not explain these returns. In Fix (2018b), I show that common measures of skill (like education and firm experience) cannot explain the returns to hierarchical rank.
Time is important because there is a mismatch between how we learn skills and how we acquire hierarchical power. We learn skills gradually. But we acquire hierarchical power in lumps.
Skills are an individual trait.
To learn a new skill, you must forge new pathways in your brain. This takes time. Like all animals, our ability to learn has physiological limits. But accumulating hierarchical power has no such limits. That is because hierarchical power is a social trait.
The more hierarchical power someone gains during a promotion, the more their income increases. For demotions, the reverse is true.
I have shown you evidence that the power ethos prevails in a sample of modern firms. But how general is this relation? Does income always grow with hierarchical power inside hierarchies? I predict that it does.
Whenever we find institutional hierarchy, I predict we will find the power ethos. It doesn't matter if we are studying a feudal fiefdom, an archaic kingdom, a totalitarian regime, a democratic state, or a modern corporation. If there is hierarchy, I predict that access to resources will grow with hierarchical power.
Income is a social phenomenon. To understand it, we need to understand social relations. And there is no better place to start than to study the power relations that dominate our working lives.

The short answer is that the speed of sound is the fastest the air can get out of its own way, so if you try to move air faster, it builds up and gets out of the way at the fastest speed it can: the speed of sound.
Slightly longer: An airplane (or anything else moving through air) is continuously disturbing the air all around it - building a pressure profile - and this disturbance propagates and creates itself at the speed of sound. When the airplane reaches the speed of sound, the air in front of it can no longer get away from the plane to build that pressure profile because to do that, it would have to move faster than the speed of sound. So it piles-up at the leading edge and propagates away along a straight line, who'se angle is determined by the speed of the object vs the speed of sound. That's the shock wave.

The UK Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) on 13 April gave EDF with permission for reactors 3 and 4 at the Hunterston NPP (also known as B1 and B2) to return to service for a limited period of operation. Permission for the restart follows extensive scrutiny of EDF's safety case by ONR specialist inspectors, Operation is permitted for up to a total of 16.7 terawatt days for reactor 3 and 16.52 terawatt days for reactor 4 – approximately six month's operation for each. This will be the final period of operation before the NPP moves to the defueling phase.
The ONR's assessment focussed on whether cracking observed in the graphite bricks that form the reactor core could compromise the key nuclear safety requirements. Specifically, these are that:
- The graphite core will not impede control rod entry, thereby ensuring that the reactors can be safely shutdown and held down, both under normal conditions and during or following fault conditions including seismic events;
- Fuel and core component cooling remains adequate both under normal operating conditions and during or following fault conditions including seismic events; and
- Fuel handling risks due to graphite core cracking remain acceptable.
"Through assessment of EDF's safety justification, which takes into account the expected ageing of the graphite core, our inspectors are satisfied that sufficient safety margins and defence in depth measure remain in place to ensure the safety of Hunterston B's workers, of local residents and the wider public," said ONR. "We are satisfied that reactors 3 and 4 at Hunterston B are safe to operate for the specified periods above, and that they can be safely shutdown (including in a significant seismic event) if required.

text: Interdependence means a dependence between autonomous elements through the formation of a combined overall organization. The essence of interdependence involves autonomy, differentiation, and emergency. Two or more autonomous elements interacting, differentiating their states with respect to each other, to create some combined organization that is greater than any of the parts, through the process of emergence. Interdependence is one of the central concepts within systems theory in that most definitions for a system involve the idea of interdependency between a set of parts. Indeed the idea of interdependency is often the central concept that is used to define a system, in that without interdependency between parts there is no system just a set of independent elements.

Lecture in conjunction with Roald Amundsen's Norwegian South Pole Expedition fabric posters
Marvin Slind, Luther College professor of history, will give the presentation "Scott and Amundsen: The Race to the South Pole" at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15, in the F.W. Olin Building, Room 102.
Slind will present a brief history of the two expeditions to the South Pole in 1911-12; the British expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott, and the Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen. The presentation will be supplemented by photographs taken during the two expeditions.
The presentation is in conjunction with an art exhibit currently on display in the Center for Faith and Life through Jan. 23.
The show consists of 24 large-format fabric posters of Roald Amundsen's (_PHONE_) Norwegian South Pole Expedition. The posters feature images taken by Amundsen and used during his presentation to the Royal Geographic Society in London on Nov. 15, 1912. Amundsen and his crew left Norway in June 1910, sailing on the ship Fram. They arrived at the South Pole Dec. 14, 1911.
This exhibit is sponsored by the Fram Museum in Oslo and by the Norwegian Embassy in Washington, D.C.

How do I adopt a baby in Georgia?
Process for Families Adopting an Infant in Georgia
- Step 1: Determine what type of adoption you desire.
- Step 2: Choose an adoption professional wisely.
- Step 3: Create your adoptive family profile and complete your home study.
- Step 4: Patiently Waiting and Meeting Potential Birth Mother/s.
- Step 5: Post-Placement Contact.
Is it hard to adopt a baby in Georgia?
Becoming a foster or adoptive parent is not a complicated process. You have already taken the first and most challenging step by seeking information about making a child a part of your family.
How long does it take to adopt in GA?
Uncontested adoptions, where the rights of the parents have been surrendered or terminated, move through the Georgia courts quickly, and it is not unusual to finalize the adoption within 30-45 days from the filing of the petition for adoption, and in some case earlier.
Why is adoption so expensive?
The reason that infant, embryo, and international adoption is so expensive is that (unlike foster care), the cost is not paid for by tax payers. In addition, adoption is expensive because several costs are incurred along the way. The agency must cover its own expenses of staff and other overhead.
Can you adopt newborns?
Dually authorised carers may adopt a child in NSW where the Children's Court has determined the child cannot live with their family.
Is adopting a baby hard?
Adoption is so much more difficult and complicated than people think it is. Domestic infant adoption is actually rather rare, with only roughly 10 percent of hopeful parents being placed with a baby. The wait is often long and full of disappointment and heartbreak. Even after adopting a baby, adoption is hard.
How long do you have to be married to adopt in Georgia?
In the traditional adoption program, American Adoptions requires that adoptive parents be married for a minimum of two years, have no more than two children already, and be between the ages of 25 and 50. However, exceptions can and have been made.
What is the quickest way to adopt a child?
The easiest way to adopt child, and do it quickly is private placement adoption with lawyer though it can be costly. The other way is foster a child and let the agency now that is giving you the foster child you are looking to foster a child to adopt.
Do you get a monthly check when you adopt a child?
As a foster parent, you will receive a check each month to cover the cost of caring for the child, and the child will also receive medical assistance. If you adopt that child, you will continue to receive financial and medical assistance. Remember that for a U.S. waiting child you should not be asked to pay high fees.
Why is adopting a child so difficult?
Adopting babies out of the foster care system is typically difficult, because of a high demand, and children in the foster care system often have very specific emotional and physical needs that some families may not feel equipped to handle. There's always a way to adopt if that's what you're determined to do.
How long does it take to adopt a newborn?
Adopting a foster child can take 6 to 18 months. Adopting a newborn can take 2 to 7 years. International adoptions can take six or more years. Being flexible in your requirements for a child can decrease the time required.
Is it cheaper to adopt from foster care?
Adopting a child from foster care is often funded by the state, and in most cases there are few or no fees. According to Child Welfare Information Gateway, working with a private agency to adopt a healthy newborn or baby or to adopt from another country can cost $5,000 to $40,000.


text: In this study, we developed a novel three-dimensional (3D) cancer cell chip using a three-floor hierarchical 3D pyramid structure (3D pyramid) to simulate 3D tumor cell growth in vitro and to detect anticancer drugs. The proposed 3D pyramid-based cancer cell chip offered substantial advantages for the agglomerate formation of tumor cells, in which cells could be maintained as tumor spheroids for up to 3 weeks. Soon after HeLa tumor cells adhered to the micropatterned pillar sidewalls, they were suspended between the pillars based on scanning electron microscopy images. Treatment with the anticancer drug oleanolic acid resulted in 46.33% and 5.86% apoptotic cells on the 2D plate and 3D pyramid-based cell chip, respectively, compared with only 0.06% apoptotic cells in the control. The increase in chemoresistance to anticancer drugs in the 3D pyramid-based cell chip might be a result of cell confluence and hypoxia due to the spheroid formation of tumor cells in the 3D pyramid structure. These results indicated that the proposed cell chip could potentially be used for anticancer drug screening or can be incorporated into other models aimed at prolonging various cell functions in culture.

 - There is no defined corresponding tunneling event.
 - Override OnLostStylusCapture to implement class handling for this event in derived classes.
When an element captures the stylus, it receives stylus input even if the pointer is outside its bounds. The stylus is typically captured only during drag-and-drop operations.
Because this event uses bubbling routing, the element that loses focus might be a child element instead of the element where the event handler is actually attached. Check the Source in the event data to determine the actual element that lost focus.
This event creates an alias for the Stylus.LostStylusCapture attached event for this class, so that LostStylusCapture is part of the class members list when ContentElement is inherited as a base element. Event handlers that are attached to the LostStylusCapture event are attached to the underlying Stylus.LostStylusCapture attached event and receive the same event data instance.

A comprehensive guide on the Bitumen Emulsifier Market and Covid-19 Impact
Article by Chaitali Avadhani
The global bitumen emulsifier market has been tremendously affected during the Covid-19 outbreak. Various types of bitumen emulsifiers such as cationic, anionic, and rapid setting are prominently used in the road construction business. The post-Covid-19 world is considered to be promising for the bitumen emulsifier market.
Roads play a vital role in building economy, maintaining trade routes, enhancing tourism activities, and act as a bridge for connecting places. Therefore, the need to maintain them is necessary for any country to ensure that the connection doesn't break. An important component that aids in road construction and maintenance is the bitumen emulsifier.
What is Bitumen Emulsifier?
A perfect blend of water and fine droplets of bitumen forms the bitumen emulsifier. Bitumen is basically a petroleum product and therefore the chances of bitumen mixing with water drop significantly. The sticky nature of bitumen causes it to disintegrate into droplets and in order to overcome this issue, emulsifiers such as fatty quaternary ammonium compounds are utilized.
How has Covid-19 affected the Bitumen Emulsifier Market?
The coronavirus outbreak led to a lockdown across the entire globe and affected the economy drastically. Almost all the industries had to shut down to curb the spread of infection that had already taken a lot of lives. This pandemic resulted in the decline of various markets, including the bitumen emulsifier market that has a critical role in road construction and maintenance.
However, all is not lost, according to a report published by Research Dive, the bitumen emulsifier market is expected to grow and surpass the $154.3 million mark by 2026, with a healthy CAGR of 3.9%.
The report also mentions that the bitumen emulsifier market shall be back in its form by Q3/Q4 of 2022. Moreover, as several cities and nations have resumed activities, construction projects too have resumed. For instance, the Indian government has released all the pending dues regarding constructions.
Likely Scenario of Bitumen Emulsifier Market in Post Covid-19 Outbreak
Once the pandemic subsides, construction activities will resume with full throttle. Major hotspots for road constructions are India, the U.S.A, Mexico, and UK as their governments are investing in public infrastructure such as hospitals, railways, and highways. This factor will boost the importance of bitumen emulsifier market after Covid-19 pandemic. As the world population is considerably rising, the need for better roads will positively affect the market.
Urbanization, road repairs, and maintenance in developing and developed countries will propel the market growth. For instance, America consists for the largest road networks which are followed by India and China. The U.S.A road covers around 4.3 million kilometres of paved roads that recommend the use of bitumen emulsifier for constructions and repairs.
Apart from this, bitumen is also used for roof waterproofing that utilizes non-ionic bitumen emulsifiers. From the regional perspective, the Asia-Pacific region will have the biggest bitumen emulsifier market in the post pandemic scenario.
Why to Use Bitumen Emulsifiers?
Bitumen emulsifiers have their own set of benefits that make them unique. Some of the advantages of using bitumen emulsifiers are as follows:
 - These have anti-stripping properties
 - They can be used for oil stabilization in deserts
 - They are used in wet conditions such as rains or a snowy environment
 - They are eco-friendly in nature
 - The rapid setting type of bitumen emulsifier is used for road surfaces
 - The medium setting type of bitumen emulsifier is used for premixing of coarse aggregates with bitumen emulsion
 - The slow setting type of bitumen emulsion is used with fine aggregates as there is enough time for uniform mixing
 Types of Bitumen Emulsifiers
There are two types of bitumen emulsifiers which are as follows:
 1. Based on surface charge, it is further classified into:
 - Cationic bitumen emulsifier (electro-positively charged)
 - Anionic bitumen emulsifier (electro-negatively charged)
The choice of using bitumen emulsion depends on the mineral composition of aggregates that are used in construction activities. For example, an electro-positively charged emulsifier is used with silica aggregates whose surface is negatively charged. This assures stable binding with the bitumen.
 1. Based on setting time, where the speed of water evaporation and separation of water from bitumen is considered, it is divided into:
 - Rapid setting emulsion: Here, bitumen breaks quickly; therefore this type of emulsion has the ability to set after evaporation quickly.
 - Medium setting emulsion: This type of emulsion doesn't break spontaneously when applied on aggregates; however the breaking point commences when fine mineral particles are mixed with aggregate emulsion mixture.
 - Slow setting emulsion: These types of emulsions are relatively slow in setting and are considered as stable than the other two types.
Future Scope of the Bitumen Emulsifier Market
From the above stated facts and figures, the importance of bitumen emulsifier market in society is pretty much clear. The future goals, challenges, and functioning of this market substantially depends on how the key market players work and collaborate.
This market is likely to enhance rapidly in the post-Covid-19 period due to rise in public and private investments for building infrastructures. Moreover, various government projects for building a robust economy will also enhance the global bitumen emulsifier market after the Covid-19 pandemic. This market has a bright future in the upcoming years.

Adhesion force interactions between cyclopentane hydrate and physically and chemically modified surfaces
Zach Aman, E.D. Sloan, A. Sum, C. Koh
Research output: Contribution to journalArticle
24 Citations (Scopus)
© the Partner Organisations 2014. Interfacial interactions between liquid-solid and solid-solid phases/surfaces are of fundamental importance to the formation of hydrate deposits in oil and gas pipelines. This work establishes the effect of five categories of physical and chemical modification to steel on clathrate hydrate adhesive force: oleamide, graphite, citric acid ester, nonanedithiol, and Rain-X anti-wetting agent. Hydrate adhesive forces were measured using a micromechanical force apparatus, under both dry and water-wet surface conditions. The results show that the graphite coating reduced hydrate-steel adhesion force by 79%, due to an increase in the water wetting angle from 42 ± 8° to 154 ± 7°. Two chemical surface coatings (nonanedithiol and the citric acid ester) induced rapid hydrate growth in the hydrate particles; nonanedithiol increased hydrate adhesive force by 49% from the baseline, while the citric acid ester coating reduced hydrate adhesion force by 98%. This result suggests that crystal growth may enable a strong adhesive pathway between hydrate and other crystalline structures, however this effect may be negated in cases where water-hydrocarbon interfacial tension is minimised. When a liquid water droplet was placed on the modified steel surfaces, the graphite and citric acid ester became less effective at reducing adhesive force. In pipelines containing a free water phase wetting the steel surface, chemical or physical surface modifications alone may be insufficient to eliminate hydrate deposition risk. In further tests, the citric acid ester reduced hydrate cohesive forces by 50%, suggesting mild activity as a hybrid anti-agglomerant suppressing both hydrate deposition and particle agglomeration. These results demonstrate a new capability to develop polyfunctional surfactants, which simultaneously limit the capability for hydrate particles to aggregate and deposit on the pipeline wall.

And how affordable was the penny post?
The answer is, of course, it depends.
Clearly it was very affordable for the middle classes but possibly less so for the poorer elements of society. Most writers suggest that it was the equivalent of something between fifty cents and a dollar, in fact around what it would cost to post a letter today.
But consider Emile L'Angelier, Madeleine Smith's lover.
In the mid 1850's in Glasgow he was earning around sixty pounds a year as a seedsman's clerk. To keep things simple let's say that he earns sixty pounds a year or five pounds a month, giving him around one pound three shillings a week, which, remembering my predecimal maths would be 276 pennies.
Now, someone working in a similar job today could arguably be getting $60,000 a year (possibly a bit more) which comes out at around $1115 a week.
If we say that a letter costs 1/276th of a weekly income to post, we come to something a little over four dollars.
Now one crucial difference is that Emile didn't pay tax or a medicare levy. Assuming a marginal rate of 30%, our imaginary seedsman's clerk would be paying $334 a week in tax, giving him a disposable income of $780 a week.
Using the 1/276th test, that has a letter costing $2.82 to post, not counting the cost of the paper or the envelope, which, in the 1850's was not insubstantial given that the only paper commonly available was rag paper (Cheap wood pulp paper didn't arrive until the 1860's).
In other words, writing and posting letters was a substantial cost. We see a hint of this in some of Madeleine's letters which are cross written ie the letter is written first top down and then continues at 90 degrees to the original text, like in this other nineteenth century letter
cross wriiten letter
as a way of saving paper, even though as a wealthy young woman Madeleine could well afford to write several letters a week …

Chicago's many fountains are gems of art, history, politics and culture. Their stories often overlooked.
Sure, we all know Buckingham Fountain and the Crown Fountain. But what about the Nelson Algren Fountain at Division Street and Ashland and Milwaukee Avenues? Or the Drexel Boulevard Fountain, originally named the Thomas Dorsey Fountain, after the South Side musician considered to be the father of gospel music?
Author Greg Borzo explores various fountains in his newest book "Chicago's Fabulous Fountains," with photos by Debra Shore.
A news officer covering science at the University of Chicago, Borzo also volunteers to give tours of the "L" and often was asked about the fountains they passed on the route.
"I realized that people knew about the Chicago Fire and World's Columbian Exposition which was held in Chicago in 1893 but they didn't know anything about Chicago's fountains," says Borzo.
Because Borzo likes to chronicle the city's intriguing icons, he began extensively researching Chicago's fountains, past and present. In the process he inspired his friends, who he dubbed "fountain finders," to join in the search.
"They got a fountain buzz going and they'd say there's one at such and such" says Borzo. "As I found out about fountains, I began to realize it's about the artists, the ethnic groups, the politics—it's so much more than just a pretty fountain."
Immersed in fountain lore, Borzo connects the historic dots or should we say splashes of water.
"People are very interested in the 1893 Fair and what I found is there are four fountains directly related to the fair—which were built for the fair or part of the fair," he says. "The Rosenberg Fountain on Michigan Avenue and 11th Street was built in time for the Fair but was built near the Illinois Central Station that used to stand at 11th and Roosevelt so people getting off the train could get a drink."
The fountain was a gift to the city by Joseph Rosenberg, a former paperboy who used to get thirsty while on his route. To prevent that from happening to others, the fountain had metal drinking cans attached by a chain.
The Women's Christian Temperance Union was also worried about thirsty people and wanted to provide water instead of having them stop at a bar for a whiskey.
"Fountain Girl was located at the fair and people could take one of the tin cups chained to the fountain to get a drink," says Borzo. "After the Fair, they moved Fountain Girl to the Women's Christian Temperance Union skyscraper in the downtown area and when that got torn down the fountain was moved again to Lincoln Park. The city didn't ban shared drinking cups until 1911. The Illinois Humane Society had about 60 fountains with shared cups, two still at Chicago and Michigan. Now they're cute fountains, but instead of the cups they have troughs for water for carriage horses."
Borzo says fountains were moved quite frequently. Researching the 125 existing outdoor fountains in the city wasn't easy.
"There's no record of many of them," he says, noting there are records of "lost" fountains that no longer exist. Others are slipping away.
Does Borzo have a favorite fountain?
"My favorite is the one I'm spending time with at the moment," he says, but then relents. "There are six fountains at the base at the AON Center. The nice thing is you don't have to pay admission and at night they're lit. It's fountain heaven."

Abandoned mine could yield clues to stopping global warmingPublication: NBC News Date: December 10, 2013 View Article
An abandoned mine in California is providing scientists with important data that could lead to a possible new weapon to fight global warming.
Massive amounts of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide vacuumed from smokestacks or the air could be permanently locked up in a type of tight, magnesium-rich rock found in the mine, according to scientists. One tricky part is to break up the rock to make room for the greenhouse gas. And that may require violence.

Type Annotations
When declaring a constant or variable, an optional type annotation can be provided, to make it explicit what type the declaration has.
If no type annotation is provided, the type of the declaration is inferred from the initial value.
For function parameters a type annotation must be provided.
// Declare a variable named 'boolVarWithAnnotation', which has an explicit type annotation.
// 'Bool' is the type of booleans.
var boolVarWithAnnotation: Bool = false
// Declare a constant named 'integerWithoutAnnotation', which has no type annotation
// and for which the type is inferred to be 'Int', the type of arbitrary-precision integers.
// This is based on the initial value which is an integer literal.
// Integer literals are always inferred to be of type 'Int'.
let integerWithoutAnnotation = 1
// Declare a constant named 'smallIntegerWithAnnotation', which has an explicit type annotation.
// Because of the explicit type annotation, the type is not inferred.
// This declaration is valid because the integer literal '1' fits into the range of the type 'Int8',
// the type of 8-bit signed integers.
let smallIntegerWithAnnotation: Int8 = 1
If a type annotation is provided, the initial value must be of this type. All new values assigned to variables must match its type. This type safety is explained in more detail in a separate section.
// Invalid: declare a variable with an explicit type 'Bool',
// but the initial value has type 'Int'.
let booleanConstant: Bool = 1
// Declare a variable that has the inferred type 'Bool'.
var booleanVariable = false
// Invalid: assign a value with type 'Int' to a variable which has the inferred type 'Bool'.

Going Dutch? The Role of Gender in the Provision of Public Goods through Tax Compliance Forthcoming in the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics
with David M. Bruner and Sven Steinmo
The existing experimental literature suggests women are more compliant than men when paying taxes but may free ride more when contributing to public goods. It is unclear which effect dominates when paying for public goods through taxation. Experiments conducted in three European countries and the U.S. are used to investigate this issue. The results suggest the compliance effect dominates the free riding effect such that women pay more for public goods, although men are more willing to contribute. Moreover, the data analysis reveals the gender gap in compliance is due to differences in both the extensive and intensive margins.
"Willing to Share? Tax Compliance and Gender in Europe and America." Research & Politics.
with Clara Volintiru and Sven Steinmo.
Studies examining the effects of gender on honesty, deceptive behavior, pro-sociality, and risk aversion, often find significant differences between men and women. The present study contributes to the debate by exploiting one of the largest tax compliance experiments to date in a highly controlled environment conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy. Our expectation was that the differences between men and women's behavior would correlate broadly with the degree of gender equality in each country. In other words, where social, political and cultural gender equality is greater we expected behavioral differences between men and women to be smaller. In contrast, our evidence reveals that women are significantly more compliant than men in all countries. Furthermore, these patterns are quite consistent across countries in our study. In other words, the difference between men's and women's behavior is not significantly different in more gender neutral countries than in more traditional societies.

Are some countries more honest than others? Evidence from a tax compliance experiment in Sweden and Italy
with Giulia Andrighetto, Stefania Ottone, Ferruccio Ponzano, Nan Zhang, and Sven Steinmo in Frontiers in Psychology.
This study examines cultural differences in ordinary dishonesty between Italy and Sweden, two countries with different reputations for trustworthiness and probity. Exploiting a set of cross-cultural tax compliance experiments, we find that the average level of tax evasion (as a measure of ordinary dishonesty) does not differ significantly between Swedes and Italians. However, we also uncover differences in national "styles" of dishonesty. Specifically, while Swedes are more likely to be either completely honest or completely dishonest in their fiscal declarations, Italians are more prone to fudging (i.e. cheating by a small amount). We discuss the implications of these findings for the evolution and enforcement of honesty norms.
"Hegemony or Dominance: A Gramscian Analysis of US Ascendancy." in Critique: A Worldwide Journal of Politics.
Hegemony, for Antonio Gramsci, is the use of consent and coercion in order to establish control over a population or a state. It is this balance between the two that is fundamental to Gramsci's theory. Furthermore, the distinction between two types of intellectuals, traditional and organic, is central to the diffusion of elite ideology and obtaining the consent of the masses. First, this study surveys the various Gramscian and neo-Gramscian literature, which develops the background for my central argument. The following section briefly examines the construction of a "common sense" in America focusing on two fundamental aspects: American exceptionalism and Liberalism. Finally, my study takes a critical look at American policy during the Regan Administration, specifically focusing on Ronald Reagan's ability to assume the role as an intellectual, used in the Gramscian tradition. However, I argue, although Ronald Reagan recaptured the common sense of the American people, manipulation and coercion were instrumental in reestablishing American dominance. Thus, power during the Reagan administration lacked a critical element of hegemony, consent, and can no longer be defined as hegemony in the Gramscian sense.
More Bang for Your Buck: Efficiency, Trust, and Tax Compliance
In the present study, we investigate the relationship between fiscal capacity and tax compliance using the largest tax compliance experiment to date. We argue that tax evasion and compliance are the product of either high-efficiency/high-trust equilibria or a low-efficiency/low-trust equilibria specific to individual countries. To test this, we utilize the experiments conducted in Italy, U.S., U.K., and Sweden. In the first test, we performed a simple public goods game framed within a tax context to uncover that increasing efficiency does indeed increase tax compliance. In a second experiment, we ask participants to actually pay taxes to their national government, pension fund, and fire department. Confirming our prediction, individuals are significantly more likely to pay taxes to institutions that they trust than institutions that they dislike.
What Explains the North-South Gap in Italian Tax Compliance? An Experimental Analysis.
Cross-national social surveys account for tax morale across a wide variety of political cultures. Since tax evasion, by definition, is difficult to estimate, researchers use the size of the underground economy as a core indicator. Only Greece (27.5% of GDP) surpasses Italy (17% of GDP) in the size of its underground economy among Western EU states. Italy's unique history and regional complexity provide researchers with a multitude of case study options in a single country. Using the 2004 Bank of Italy Survey of Household Wealth and Income and controlled tax compliance experiments, I undertake a comparative study assessing the regional effects of social capital and political culture on tax morale in Italy. I demonstrate that Southern Italy is substantively and significantly different than Northern Italy with regards to tax morale, and that social capital and civic culture positively affect tax morale. However, I find no difference when we control the institutional environment in our laboratory setting, suggesting that tax compliance is linked to the institutional environment with which an individual associates.
Mass Preferences on Budget Deficits
Budgets are one of the most important tools politicians have at their disposal. They set out the expected amount of revenue to be collected for the following scal year, as well as the amount of spending. The budget is also a fundamental political tool used to signal to constituents where the government's priorities lie. But government budgets are notstraight forward, parsimonious documents. The are complicated documents with important implications and trade-os. However, the public is rarely presented with the trade-offs that governments must make in order to successfully implement a budget. Governments make trade-os between higher (lower) taxes and more (less) spending or they face larger deficits. This article uses a novel survey experiment, incorporating an interactive budget tool, to examine what drives individual preferences for budget deficits.

Syntactic Complexity; Grammar Theory; Interface Syntax; Clausal Embedding
The paper is organised as follows. In order to establish which kinds of parentheses should be considered 'anchored', I present a global overview in §2. This is followed by a discussion of the core properties of anchored parentheses, focusing on the relation between anchor and parenthesis, and their 'specificational' interpretation. §3discusses anchored parenthesis in the domain of parallel construal, and shows why the Kosterian colon phrase is not sufficient to account for them. In §4, I elaborate onthe structural independence of parentheticals in the context of De Vries' syntactic approach, suggesting a parenthetical version of the colon phrase to account for anchored parenthesis. §5 is a brief discussion of two implications (or: complications) of this analysis. §6 concludes the paper.

Alternative access method
Extending the JSON Wire Protocol is great, but it means that the various WebDriver language bindings will have to implement access to these endpoints in their own way. Naturally, this will take different amounts of time depending on the project. We have instituted a way to get around this delay, by using driver.execute() with special parameters.
POST session/:sessionId/execute takes two JSON parameters: * script (usually a snippet of javascript) * args (usually an array of arguments passed to that snippet in the javascript engine)
In the case of these new mobile methods, script must be one of: * mobile: tap * mobile: flick * mobile: swipe * mobile: scrollTo * mobile: scroll * mobile: shake (The mobile: prefix allows us to route these requests to the appropriate endpoint).
And args will be an array with one element: a Javascript object defining the parameters for the corresponding function. So, let's say I want to call tap on a certain screen position. I can do so by calling driver.execute with these JSON parameters:
{
 "script": "mobile: tap",
 "args": [{
 "x": 0.8,
 "y": 0.4
 }]
}
In this example, our new tap method will be called with the x and y params as described above.

In these examples, note that the element parameter is always optional.

Android
The best way to interact with the slider on Android is with the 'mobile: tap' gesture. It is difficult to find a reliable way to set a specific percentage that works on all screen sizes, however. Therefore, it is recommended to write tests that focus on minimum, 50%, and maximum.
# 0%
@driver.execute_script 'mobile: tap', :x =>slider.location.x, :y =>slider.location.y
# 100%
@driver.execute_script 'mobile: tap', :x =>slider.location.x + slider.size.width - 1, :y =>slider.location.y
# 50%
slider.click
Set orientation
driver.setOrientation("LANDSCAPE", function(err) {
// continue testing

 @driver.execute_script 'mobile: scrollTo', :element => b.ref
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
WebElement element = wd.findElement(By.name("Log In"));;
HashMap<String, String> scrollToObject = new HashMap<String, String>();

A look back on the history of Ducsu
Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu), also called the second parliament of Bangladesh, played a significant role in the glorious history of several students' movement.
This was especially during the Language Movement and pro-independence movement in the 1970s and the Liberation War of 1971, when students were the vanguards of citizens' voice.
It also played a role in giving birth to future politicians of the nation.
In this video, we portray almost a century long history of Ducsu. Watch the video to know more.

There is nothing like drought to test the resilience of plants and a trial in North Canterbury has highlighted subterranean clover's ability to persist in harsh conditions.
The trial on Hugh and Lucy Dampier-Crossley's Hurunui farm "Koromiko", is one of seven being run throughout both islands as part of Lincoln University's and the Sustainable Farming Fund's Sub4Spring programme. Lincoln University plant scientist Professor Derrick Moot is leading the programme.
The focus on the 12ha Koromiko trial site, which has a mix of north and south facing country, is the establishment of subterranean (sub) clover into steep, uncultivable hill country.
In some ways, the trial could not have been set up at a better time. The drought that ravaged North Canterbury for three years desiccated soils and plants, but following Darwinian principles, the emergence of subterranean clover going into spring has proved it is one of the fittest forage species around.
Hugh admits to being very surprised at the number of sub seedlings that have emerged post-drought and says the plants that did appear last summer obviously set more seeds than he had anticipated
This feed was used for ewes over lambing before being shut up again in late spring to allow seed-set.
He has been particularly impressed with the clovers' performance because the trial block is one of the worst on the farm in terms of fertility and feed value.
With a soil pH of 5.2-5.3 which is sub-optimal for legumes-the block, which sits at about 460m above sea level, was always going to be a tough testing-ground for forages and drought made it even more challenging.
Trial set up
The Sub4Spring trial on Koromiko was sown down in April 2016 following three spray treatments of three different chemical applications.
The seed mix of Antas, Monti and Denmark-3.3kg/ha of each- which was flown on with 250kg/ha of Sulphur Super 20 fertiliser. All the seed was inoculated.
Following seed application, a mob of ewes was run over the area to ensure seed to soil contact.
Andrew Johnston from Luisetti Seeds – who supplied the seeds for the trial- recommends sowing a mix of sub clovers, as different cultivars have different physiological characteristics and environmental preferences.
Because of the drought, these seeds didn't strike until June but still generated enough feed for Hugh to lamb ewes on the area.
The block was shut-up for re-seeding in mid-October and then, says Hugh, it got really dry. This lack of moisture meant that very few seeds appeared to have struck in late summer.
"There were very few plants-it did not look like a great strike."
Despite what appeared to be a poor seed strike in the drought year, there were obviously a lot more plants than Hugh and the trial team had thought. In late August of this year, there was a good covering of clover throughout the trial area which was used for lambing ewes.

Last night I helped launch of Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting, a free Green Lighting program that will help Connecticut homeowners save on their electricity bills by switching to energy efficient light bulbs. Go Green Lighting!!
Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting is part of the larger Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge. The program is a free and simple first step for homeowners who want to reduce their energy consumption. Seth Leitman, co-author of the book "Green Lighting" – who is often referred to as "the green living guy," took center stage at the program's launch event at Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU) to discuss his new book and the importance of energy efficiency.
"If more people in our communities switched to compact fluorescent light bulbs, light emitting diodes, day lighting and other greener lighting options, we would be able to save more than enough energy costs to stop building coal, nuclear and natural gas power plants," Leitman said. "People are afraid of transitioning to CFLs or LEDs because they don't know enough about them. That's why we need to get the word out about green lighting."
"ECSU and Windham are working together to bring the Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge to households throughout the community," said Laurel Kohl, an Education and Training Energy Specialist at ECSU's Institute for Sustainable Energy. "I am pleased how well our community has come together with the campaign to rally our residents around these important money-saving issues."
Lighting accounts for 10 to 15 percent of electricity consumption in an average home, adding up to between $200 and $300 over the course of a year. Switching to energy efficient bulbs can save families at least $100 per year and will greatly reduce the amount of energy wasted through the use of outdated incandescent light bulbs. Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting will provide free lighting consultations and energy efficient light bulb replacements to participating households.
The program is available for a limited-time: only the first 2,000 eligible households in Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge towns will be able to participate. One of the first 250 households to sign up for Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting will be selected to receive a special prize: a personal consultation from Leitman and the Neighbor to Neighbor Clean Energy Corps.
The Neighbor to Neighbor Clean Energy Corps, a team of 10 recent college graduates working with Connecticut residents to reduce energy waste, recently received residential lighting certificates after completing a course from the Lighting Research Center at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The Clean Energy Corps will visit participating households to perform energy efficient light installations and educate homeowners on efficient lighting technology.
These were the members of the Corps! Hoorah!!"We are so excited to launch Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting," said Bryan Garcia, Chief Community Officer for Earth Markets, the organization that designed the program. "This is another great way that Neighbor to Neighbor is helping residents lower their monthly bills in communities across Connecticut."
Eligible residents can get started today by visiting _URL_ There, they can sign up for Neighbor to Neighbor email updates and join the growing movement to reduce
Connecticut's energy waste.

Dipper Pines
Use the video and step-by-step drawing instructions below to learn how to draw Dipper Pines from Disney Channel's Gravity Falls. A new drawing tutorial is uploaded every week, so stay tooned!
Draw Dipper Pines Step 1
Step 1: Start by drawing a circle near the top half of the page. It doesn't have to be perfect. It's just a guide for Dipper Pines' head.
Draw Dipper Pines Step 2
Step 2: Next, draw two intersecting lines across the circle, one vertical and one horizontal. Bend the lines so that they contour to the shape. These will be construction lines that will help you place Dipper Pines' facial features later on.
Draw Dipper Pines Step 3
Step 3: Draw two small circles sitting on top of the horizontal construction line as guides for Dipper Pines' eyes. The circles should be on either side of the vertical construction line.
Draw Dipper Pines Step 4
Step 4: Below Dipper Pines' eyes, where the two construction lines intersect, draw a tiny oval as a guide for his nose. On the left side of the head, where the horizontal construction line starts, draw a C-shaped line as a guide fore Dipper Pines' ear.
Draw Dipper Pines Step 5
Step 5: Draw a big arc on top of Dipper Pines' head as a guide for the top of his cap. The arc starts on top of the ear and ends on the top right side of the head. Then draw a smaller, thinner arc to the right of that to create a guide for the bill portion of Dipper Pines' cap.

Until.NET 4.0 it was impossible to reliably create Windows Shell Extensions using.NET code. With improvements to the framework, it is now possible to use.NET to create these.Net shell extensions.
Shell Context Menus are COM servers that are registered in the system that allow the context menus of shell objects to be extended. This could be the context menu for a specific file type, such as *.txt files, file classes such as 'text files', drives, folders and more. The context menus can be used to provide advanced functionality that can be accessed quickly through Windows Explorer. For example you can create a Shell Extension that allows you to count the lines in any text file by right clicking on it and choosing 'Count Lines'.

Odisha to implement ARUA to replenish groundwater table
The scheme will be implemented from the budget of the Water Resources department.
BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha government will soon launch a scheme called 'artificial recharge to underground acquifer' (ARUA) to replenish the depleting groundwater table in the State. As per a resolution of the Water Resources department, the scheme will be implemented in six semi-critical and 26 approaching semi-critical blocks having groundwater extraction of more than 65 per cent of the entire State at an estimated cost of Rs 49.23 crores over a period of five years from 2022-23 to 2026-27.
The scheme will be implemented from the budget of the Water Resources department. Under the scheme, groundwater recharge shafts will be installed in 2,400 existing tanks. Official sources said maintenance of the structures will be done by Pani Panchayats where available or by the staff of groundwater directorate. In the case of Pani Panchayats taking up maintenance in a block, funds will be provided by the Water Resources department for maintenance. Besides, they will also impart necessary training for taking up maintenance.

Cisco Smart Licensing Deployment Options
Cisco Smart Licensing Deployment Guide
Customers can use the following instructions to deploy Cisco smart licensing:
- Direct cloud access: In direct cloud access deployment method, Cisco products' usage information is sent directly over the internet to Cisco Smart Software Management and no further components are required. This method Requires devices to have permanent connectivity over the internet.
- Access through an HTTPs proxy: Cisco products send usage information over the internet through a proxy server either with a Smart Call Home Transport Gateway or off-the-shelf Proxy (such as Apache) to Cisco License Service.
- Mediated access: Cisco products send usage information to a locally-connected collector, which acts as a local license authority. Every so often, the information is exchanged to keep the databases in synchronization. This contains the same experience as direct cloud access, although with better security and Works for all products. Cost of installing and maintaining the software application virtual machine is considerable in this method also If manual synchronization is used, cost of completing the manual data exchanges will be involved. This solution is also known as Cisco Smart Software Manager satellite (SSM satellite).
- disconnected: Cisco products send usage information to a local disconnected collector, which acts as a local license authority.
How does enforcement work?
Smart Licensing provides real-time monitoring and accounting of how software is used and it is not meant as a strict enforcement system in the same way that traditional node-lock technologies are.
License pools are a reflection of how many licenses are available at a given moment. In nearly real-time, the Smart Account provides information on exactly how many entitlements the customer has. whenever the number of entitlements in the pool is greater than or equal to the number of licenses being consumed, the product will always understand that it is in an "authorized" state.
When the number of licenses in the pool is less than the number of licenses being consumed, the pool is moved to an "out of compliance" state. When a new device is deployed using the 'Out-of-Compliant' license, or when existing devices check-in (which occurs every 30 days, or more frequently depending on the device activity), they will receive the 'Out of Compliance' status report for their license use.
On receiving the 'Out-of-Compliance' status, the device may choose to act. Since this state is sent to ALL devices in the pool using the specific license, it is recommended that enforcement actions are limited to the light end of the spectrum.
Products also support a built-in evaluation period ranging from 60 to 90 days. Evaluation permits customers to try out licenses before connecting to Smart Licensing directly and can also serve as a bridge between the time that the product is first installed and when it is licensed.
Enable Smart Licensing
When successful registration occurs, the device will receive an identity certificate. This certificate is stored on the device and automatically is used for all future communications with Cisco.
Every 30 days, Cisco Smart License will automatically renew the registration data with Cisco. If registration fails, an error will be logged. Moreover, license usage data is collected and a report is sent to you every month.
Please be noted Once Smart Licensing mode is enabled, all CLIs related to the traditional licensing mode is disabled.
