Kidding, kidding. But I do have a question about an $n$-line outline of a proof of the first case of FLT, with $n$ relatively small.
Here's a result of Eichler (remark after Theorem 6.23 in Washington's Cyclotomic Fields): If $p$ is prime and the $p$-rank of the class group of $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p)$ satisfies $d_p<\sqrt{p}-2$, then the first case of FLT has no non-trivial solutions. Once you know Herbrand-Ribet and related stuff, the proof of this result is even rather elementary.
The condition that $d_p<\sqrt{p}-2$ seems reminiscent of rank bounds used with Golod-Shafarevich to prove class field towers infinite. More specifically, a possibly slightly off (and definitely improvable) napkin calculation gives me that for $d_p>2+2\sqrt{(p-1)/2}$, the $p$-th cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p)$ has an infinite $p$-class field tower. It's probably worth emphasizing at this point that by the recent calculation of Buhler and Harvey, the largest index of irregularity for primes less than 163 million is a paltry 7.
So it seems natural to me to conjecture, or at least wonder about, a relationship between the unsolvability of the first case of FLT and the finiteness of the $p$-class field tower over $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p)$. Particularly compelling for me is the observation that regular primes (i.e., primes for which $d_p=0$) are precisely the primes for which this tower has length 0, and have obvious historical significance in the solution of this problem. In fact, the mechanics of the proof would probably/hopefully be to lift the arithmetic to the top of the (assumed finite) p-Hilbert class field tower, and then use that its class number is prime to $p$ to make arguments completely analogously to the regular prime case.
I haven't seen this approach anywhere. Does anyone know if it's been tried and what the major obstacles are, or demonstrated why it's likely to fail? Or maybe it works, and I just don't know about it?
Edit: Franz's answer indicates that even for a relatively simple Diophantine equation (and relatively simple class field tower), moving to the top of the tower introduces as many problems as it rectifies. This seems pretty compelling. But if anyone has any more information, I'd still like to know if anyone knows or can come up with an example of a Diophantine equation which does benefit from this approach.

Suppose you have a diophantine problem whose solution is connected with the structure of the p-class group of a number field K. Then you have the following options:
 1. Use ideal arithmetic in the maximal order OK
 2. Replace OK by a suitable ring of S-integers with trivial p-class group
 3. Replace K by the Hilbert class field, which (perhaps) has trivial p-class group.
Experience with descent on elliptic curves has shown me that ultimately, the equations you have to solve in methods 1 and 2 are the same; moreover, the approach using ideals is a lot less technical than using factorial domains in S-integers (the class group relations come back in through the larger rank of the group of S-units). I am certain that the route via the Hilbert class field is even more technical: again, the unit group in the class field will produce more difficulties than a trivial class group will eliminate.
Edit. As an example illustrating my point in a very simple example, let me solve the diophantine equation $x^2 + 5y^2 = z^2$ in several different ways. I will always assume that $\gcd(x,y) = 1$.
1. Elementary Number Theory
The basic idea is factoring: from $5y^2 = (z+x)(z-x)$. Since $d = \gcd(z-x,z+x) = \gcd(2z,z+x) \mid 2$ we have $d = 1$ or $d = 2$; moreover we clearly have $z-x > 0$. This gives $z+x = da^2$, $z-x = 5db^2$ or $z+x = 5da^2$, $z-x = db^2$. Solving for $x$ and $z$ yields $$ x = \pm \frac d2 (a^2 - 5b^2), \quad y = dab. $$
2. Parametrization
Set $X = \frac xz$ and $Y = \frac yz$; then $X^2 + 5Y^2 = 1$. Take the line $Y = t(X+1)$ through the obvious point $(-1,0)$; the second point of intersection is given by $$ X = \frac{1-5t^2}{1+5t^2}, \quad Y = \frac{2t}{1+5t^2}. $$ Dehomogenizing using $t = \frac ba$ and $X = \frac xz$ etc. gives the projective parametrization $$ (x:y:z) = (a^2-5b^2:2ab:a^2+5b^2). $$ If $ab$ is odd, all coordinates are even, and we find $$ x = \frac12(a^2 - 5b^2), \quad y = ab; $$ if $a$ or $b$ is even we get $$ x = a^2 - 5b^2, \quad y = 2ab $$ as above.
3. Algebraic Number Theory
Consider the factorization $$ (x + y\sqrt{-5}\,)(x - y\sqrt{-5}\,) = z^2 $$ in the ring of integers of the number field $K = {\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{-5}\,)$. The class number of $K$ is $2$, and the ideal class is generated by the prime ideal ${\mathfrak p} = (2,1+\sqrt{-5}\,)$.
The ideal $(x + y\sqrt{-5}, x - y\sqrt{-5}\,)$ is either $(1)$ or ${\mathfrak p}$; thus $$ (x + y\sqrt{-5}\,) = {\mathfrak a}^2, \quad (x - y\sqrt{-5}\,) = {\mathfrak b}^2 $$ in the first and $$ (x + y\sqrt{-5}\,) = {\mathfrak p}{\mathfrak a}^2, \quad (x - y\sqrt{-5}\,) = {\mathfrak p}{\mathfrak b}^2 $$ in the second case.
The second case is impossible since the left hand side as well as ${\mathfrak a}^2$ are principal, but ${\mathfrak p}$ is not. We could have seen this immediately since $x$ and $y$ cannot both be odd.
In the first case, assume first that ${\mathfrak a} = (a + b\sqrt{-5}\,)$ is principal. Since the only units in ${\mathcal O}_K$ are $\pm 1$, this gives $x + y \sqrt{-5} = \pm(a+b\sqrt{-5}\,)^2$ and hence $$ x = \pm (a^2 - 5b^2), \quad y = \pm 2ab. $$ If ${\mathfrak a}$ is not principal, then ${\mathfrak p}{\mathfrak a} = (a+b\sqrt{-5}\,)$ is, and from $({\mathfrak p}{\mathfrak a})^2 = 2(x+y\sqrt{-5}\,)$ we similarly get $$ x = \pm \frac12(a^2 - 5b^2), \quad y = \pm ab. $$
4. S-Integers
The ring $R = {\mathbb Z}[\sqrt{-5}\,]$ is not a UFD, but $S = R[\frac12]$ is; in fact, $S$ is even norm-Euclidean for the usual norm in $S$ (the norm is the same as in $R$ except that powers of $2$ are dropped). It is also easily seen that $S^\times = \langle -1, 2 \rangle$. From $$

text: The geometric design of a gerotor motor has a significant impact on its function, performance, quality, reliability and cost. When designing a gerotor motor all these features must be considered. A gerotor motor can be classified into two types based on the geometric design; gerolor (pin design) and gerotor (nonpin design). In this article, geometric parameters of the two design types are discussed briefly and the operation of the gerotor motor is described as well. A numerical analysis is carried out by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool (PumpLinx) to analyze the fluid flow and predict the performance of both types of gerotor designs. Various characteristics of the two designs of the gerotor motor are investigated and compared which include the gerotor design, fluid flowrate, velocity, pressure and output torque. Comparison of the results found out that using pin design gerotor motor, the flowrate, flow velocity, pressure and torque will vary greatly. Nonpin design can significantly reduce variations in all the flow characteristics thereby enhancing the stability and reduction in the leakage risk.

It's a ajax call through jQuery
Then give jQuery a JS object of the parameters:

When deciding on new food to feed your rabbit, researching its safety and health benefits is always good. Rabbits are herbivores, and their digestion is significantly different from humans. As such, many rabbit owners may be wondering, "can rabbits eat cabbages"?
Since cabbage is related to broccoli, kale (see also 'Can Rabbits Eat Kale?'), and cauliflower, this article will discuss its benefits and disadvantages.

- Are Cabbages Healthy for Rabbits?

Can Rabbits Eat Cabbage?
Rabbits eat cabbage, and they also love its texture and flavor. While they are known for eating carrots, they also snack on other types of fruits and vegetables.
Cabbage is not that different from similar vegetables and is rich in nutrients. Although veterinarians often recommend green and dark leafy cabbage, there are a few other pigmented types that your rabbit may also love.
Some rabbit owners are hesitant to give cabbages to their pet rabbits because they could cause bloating. However, they are easy to digest and available on the market.
Are Cabbages Safe for Rabbits?
If you're a rabbit owner, you probably know or have heard that some vegetables are harmful to rabbits. However, cabbage is suitable for your furry friend! So if you were wondering, yes, cabbage is safe for rabbits and is also a nutritious leafy treat.
Before you rush to feed cabbage to your bunny, try breaking off a tiny piece at a time. Why? Rabbits rely on bacteria in their guts to digest their food. Therefore, they need time to adapt when their owners introduce a new treat. Rabbits can have contrasting preferences for specific foods. As a responsible owner, you must determine if cabbage is a potential dietary source for your rabbit.
Are Cabbages Healthy for Rabbits?
Cabbage is super healthy for rabbits! It's a rich source of vitamin B6, which helps your rabbit build new proteins, which are crucial for efficient muscle function. Unfortunately, some rabbits try cabbage and experience diarrhea or loose stools.
Sickness from cabbage often occurs due to overconsumption in a short period, resulting in gas and bloating. The side effects may also signify an allergic reaction. For the most part, cabbage is a harmless, non-toxic vegetable for rabbits and an excellent dietary snack.
You can mix up some cabbage with arugula or other leafy greens for a nicely diverse nutritious snack for your bunny.
Can Bunnies Eat Cabbages Every Day?
Cabbage is primarily safe for bunnies, but they shouldn't consume it daily. Instead, they need the bulk of their nutrition from hay to regulate their digestive tract and fight irregular bowel movements.
Fresh vegetables and wild plants are valuable nutrients, but they do not contain significant calories or fiber to nourish rabbits. Therefore, avoid allowing your rabbit to eat more than a handful of cabbage at the expense of eating their kibble and other foods. While rabbits are used to commercial food, they may enjoy cabbage more than crunchy bagged food. On the other hand, you're responsible for your pet's portions and must keep track of measurements and feeding times.
Adult rabbits should consume cabbage four days per week as an additional vegetable. Since their digestive systems are mature and can handle more than baby rabbits, they can eat twice the cabbage.
Cabbage is best for your rabbit when you include it as part of a regular diet. Therefore, they offer tiny portions alongside other fresh vegetables, rather than as the only source of vitamins and minerals.
Every rabbit is different, therefore it's hard to determine whether your rabbit would appreciate cabbage in advance. However, since many rabbits adore cabbage, there's a strong possibility he will love the dietary addition.
Don't worry if your rabbit dislikes cabbage and consistently leaves it on the plate. You can stop serving the cabbage and replace it with something else.
A rabbit doesn't need cabbage to be healthy, so if your pet isn't an enthusiast, search for other green choices.
If your rabbit wants to eat old cabbage leaves that have gone bad, don't leave them lying around in its enclosure or feeding bowl.
4 Crucial Factors to Consider When Feeding Cabbages to Your Rabbit
Wild rabbits prefer to eat hay and grass (see also 'Do Rabbits Eat Grass?'). Therefore, they are familiar with green leafy vegetables and consume them regularly. On the other hand, domestic rabbits often rely on garden treats to sustain their health.
Not all bunnies prefer the taste and texture of cabbage. Although cabbages contain various significant health benefits, there are a few factors to consider before introducing your rabbit to the vegetable:
1. New Food
Before you feed cabbage to your rabbit, consider offering tiny servings gradually. You can start with small portions and then increase the amount only if your rabbit adapts. Since rabbits rely on gut bacteria, which help digestion, they have to adjust to unfamiliar food.
Unfortunately, a sudden change in your bunny's diet could upset his stomach. If your pet rejects cabbage, do not force him to eat. Instead, replace the cabbage with hay and other regular dietary foods.
2. Avoid Overfeeding
As a rabbit owner, you are responsible for your rabbit's diet. Therefore, it would be best to avoid overfeeding and serve only two to four leaves per week to satisfy his nutritional needs. Monitoring your rabbit's consumption is critical to its health.
3. Research Health Benefits
Cabbage is rich in vitamins B6, K, and minerals such as calcium and potassium.
Vitamin B6 helps your rabbit's digestive system process protein. The component is also crucial for strengthening muscles and stimulating proteins in your pet's body.
Calcium and potassium are necessary for growth and keeping bones and teeth in excellent shape. They are also essential for your rabbit's joints and peripheral nervous system.
4. Consider Health Risks
While cabbages do not pose a threat, some rabbits can't handle their nutrients.
Overeating could cause excessive gas in your rabbit's digestive system. On the other hand, practicing caution and awareness may solve the problem.
You can spot issues by observing your rabbit's behavior. If your rabbit is healthy, it will eat cabbage without a problem. However, if your pet hesitates or refuses, something could be wrong.
Some rabbits may exhibit fatigue and lethargy, while others experience abdominal pains or bowel issues. The symptoms are early signs that your rabbit is going through unbearable pain or discomfort. If your rabbit develops bloating or diarrhea, stop serving cabbage immediately.
Can Rabbits Eat Cabbage Leaves?
Rabbits can consume cabbage leaves and enjoy their crunchy texture. However, all vegetables are heavily sulfurous, which might upset the digestive tract.
Since rabbits are incapable of flatulence, gastric disruptions can be dangerous. However, cabbage can supply your rabbit with abundant nutrients and roughage.
Aside from giving raw cabbage to your rabbit, you can also include fruits in your rabbit's diet. Blackberries, blueberries, and plums are great treats to feed your rabbit.
Can Bunnies Consume Cabbages?
Baby rabbits should stay away from cabbage because their systems are still developing.
Newborn bunnies should only drink their mother's milk for the first seven weeks. Afterward, alfalfa hays and pellets should become significant foods in their diet. You can also start feeding your baby rabbit grass hays at six months.
Cabbage should only be fed to rabbits when at least one-year-old.
Cabbage, regardless of color, is a good vegetable for rabbits. However, it is not a staple food or a substitute for a nutritious, well-balanced dinner.
As a delicious addition to vegetables and leafy greens, cabbage contains an abundance of nutrients that rabbits can use to their advantage.

Ming Gap and Shipwreck Ceramics in Southeast Asia
written by Roxanna Maude Brown
River Books | ISBN 9789749863770
Hardback – 206 pages
Member's price: $76.50
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Shipwrecks discovered throughout Southeast Asia and the precious cargoes they contain represent invaluable information for the study of international trade networks. However, these treasure troves of Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese ceramics, have up until this point, been unsystematic ally studied and rarely published. This book addresses this issue with the author tracing the development and fluctuations of the international ceramic trade between China and Southeast Asia focusing specifically on the 14th-15th centuries, a period known in ceramic scholarship as the Ming Gap. The term Ming Gap arose to describe the ban placed on the export of Chinese ceramics by the Ming Dynasty. The author illustrates how as a result, Southeast Asian ceramics began to fill this void and for over a century became the dominant ceramic trade ware throughout the region. Analyzing over 120 shipwrecks, the author for the first time proposes a chronology of ceramic production placing Thai ceramics into five chronological periods and discussing issues such as the relationship between Sukhothai and Sawankhalok kilns, the discovery of exported Burmese celadon wares and the location of Vietnamese production sites for ceramic exports.

Harold Willmott EARDLEY
Year of Birth: 1891
Place of Birth: Sydney, New South Wales
Date of Enlistment: 17 September 1915
Date and Place of Embarkation: Not applicable
Ship: Not applicable
Unit(s): 5th Depot Battalion
Regimental Number: Not applicable
Died: 1 November 1915
Harold Willmott Eardley was born in Sydney, NSW, in 1891, the second son of Thomas Robert Eardley and Mary Stedham. He also had two sisters. His father was an engineer and they moved north to Cairns after spending time in Charters Towers where Harold attended the Charters Towers State School.
Harold was living in Rockhampton in 1913 and enlisted on 17 September 1915. He gave his age as 24 years 7 months, his occupation a Labourer and named his mother, Mary of Sheridan Street, Cairns as his next of kin. His height was 5 feet 5 1/2 inches, weighed 10 stone 7 pounds with dark complexion, brownish eyes, dark brown hair. His religion was Church of England and his address was Railway Boarding House, Mt Morgan.
At the same time as Harold enlisted, his father, Thomas, was making his own contribution to the war. He organized the making of walking sticks for the wounded soldiers, made form Silky Oak from North Queensland. The sticks were sold for 1/- but all funds were for a double benefit, to be returned for distribution amongst the wounded men here and at the Dardanelles, while the sum realised by their sale went to swell the Patriotic fund, a movement that was set up for the returned soldiers.
Harold never made it overseas. He died in Brisbane General Hospital on 1 November 1915 from pneumonia following measles and is buried in the Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane.

Create mongoDB external table
Data Virtualization with MongoDB using PolyBase in SQL Server 2019
October 9, 2020 by
In this article, you'll learn the approach to integrate MongoDB data source using data virtualization technique in SQL Server 2019. In this article, you can see how SQL Server 2019 provides a platform to create a modern enterprise data hub using data virtualization technology and the PolyBase technique.
 1. Discuss Data Virtualization
 2. Pre-requisite to setup MongoDB
 3. Set up MongoDB external connection in SQL Server 2019
 4. Many more…
The advent of Data virtualization in SQL Server 2019 allows us to solve modern and complex data challenges. Data virtualization with PolyBase in SQL Server 2019 is used as a data hub, and you can directly query the data from several heterogeneous data sources. These data sources include Azure Managed Instance, Oracle, Teradata, SAP HANA, MongoDB, Hadoop clusters, Cosmos DB, and SQL Server. We can query the data source using T-SQL and without separately installing driver software.
The data virtualization in SQL Server 2019 is an improvised solution to the ETL process. The other advantage of Data virtualization is that it allows the integration of data from different sources such as Azure MI, SQL Server, MongoDB, Oracle, DB2, Cosmos DB, and Hadoop-Distributed-File-System (HDFS) without the much data movement around the source and destination. This process is possible with the advent of PolyBase connectors.
 - Using T-SQL, we can query heterogeneous data sources using PolyBase connectors. This provides the bridge to query the data from external data sources such as SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, MongoDB, and ODBC data sources with external tables
 - It also supports the UTF-8 encoding format
Get started:
In this section, you will learn how to create secure data access from the underlying data source.
In this case, PolyBase uses the security model of the MongoDB model to access the data. In most cases, we need permission to read the data. However, the credentials used to read the data and it is stored inside the PolyBase data hub.
To set-up data virtualization, follow the below steps:
 1. Setup database master key
 2. Create database-scoped credentials
 3. PolyBase external tables
 4. Configure External data sources
To configure database virtualization, select the database. Right-click the database and select Create External Table that starts the data virtualization wizard.
 1. Select a data source
 2. Create a database master key
In this section, we will see how to create a database master key. The master key is created inside the SQL Server database and it acts as a data hub.
The master key is providing a secure way to read data using the credentials in the external data source. It is always recommended to choose a complex password for the master key. In addition, use the BACKUP MASTER KEY command to back up the master key.
 1. You can have one master key in a database instance
 2. Use a secure location to backup the master key
 3. If you already have the master key created in your SQL instance—re-use it. The same master key is used to secure data access for data virtualization
 4. To see whether the master key is already created run the following query
 Display Sysmetric_keys details
Syntax to create a database master key is as follows:
Database scoped credentials
Database scoped credentials provide the abstraction layer to secure the model to access the data from the data source. SQL Server 2019 supports the following security models when using PolyBase for data virtualization:
 1. Proxy authentication
 2. Kerberos authentication
 3. Storage access key—shared secret key
The following syntax is used to provide SQL Server with the security context for a connection to a MongoDB external data source. In addition, you will see a shared secret key in use to create a database scoped credential.
 - Note: The identity refers to the username of the MongoDB external data source
To validate database scoped credentials in the datahub run the following T-SQL:
Display database scope credentials
Configure External data sources
External data sources provide a path to virtualize data from other data sources. It collects all the meta-data to access data from the single database object.
Each external data source provides the below options required to access the external source:
 - Location
 - port
 - credential
 - connectivity
The LOCATION parameter defines the communication protocol, server name and port for connectivity.
In this case, the communication protocol is mongodb and server is and port is 27017
The CREDENTIAL argument uses the database scoped credential MyMongoDBDemo2019. The external data source will use this database-scoped credential to query the target data sources
 - Note: The Connection_options and Pushdown parameters will be explained later in the article
 - To validate external data sources run the following T-SQL:
 Display external_data_sources
 How to map an external data table
 In this section, we will see how to create external views. On selecting the parent tables, the child tables are also referred by default. In addition, you have the mapping table where you modify the columns to match the target data types. This also gives you the option to modify the name of the external table.
 Let us look at the details of the MongoDB instance. Create the user using the following commands. I will not go in-depth on MongoDB concepts.
 how to connect mongoDB
 PolyBase external tables
 External tables provide SQL Server with the schema to reason over data in the external data source.
 Error Message:
 The T-SQL create external table statement errors out with the following details. You can see that the TLS handshake failed error reported. This can be handled in two ways. You can manage it at the Mongo DB startup parameters or you can turn off the SSL parameter or you can turn off the SSL=false in the T-SQL statement.
 "Msg 105082, Level 16, State 1, Line 16
 105082;Generic ODBC error: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client:
 No suitable servers found (serverSelectionTryOnce set):
 [TLS handshake failed: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) calling ismaster on '']
 (Error Code: 13053) Additional error <2>:
 ErrorMsg: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client: No suitable servers found (serverSelectionTryOnce set)
 (Error Code: 13053), SqlState: HY000, NativeError: 110 "
 You may receive this error due to the SSL issue. Now, the CONNECTION_OPTIONS parameter plays a role to connect MongoDB data source.
 In this case, set the connection_options to ssl=false and then run the create external statement.
 The CONNECTION_OPTION setting suppresses the connection over SSL, which is a default requirement for communicating with many other data sources. I will discuss more about it in the next article.
 Let us run create external table statement again:
 We can see in the below snippet, the external table created successfully.
 Create mongoDB external table
 Let us validate the external table using the following T-SQL:
 Display the external tables
 Now, Let us browse object explorer to validate the existence of the External Tables and External Data Sources.
 Display external employee table
 Finally, query the external table
 MongoDB data validation in SSMS and MongoDB console
 In this article, we discussed how to set up a PolyBase in SQL Server for MongoDB external data source.
 To summarize the steps real quick:
 The data virtualization framework provides a platform to eliminate the use of redundant data copies. To maintain the physical copy always requires additional storage and hardware resources. It incurs to increase an additional overhead on costs. Using the data virtualization technique, organizations can create an abstract layer to create a virtual data copy from a heterogeneous or homogeneous data repositories. The virtual copies define the soft external table links to the physical data repository. As I mentioned, the data virtualization technique not only avoids extra storage but it provides strong consistency between the source and the target in the data retrieval process. In addition, it addresses the data issues which in turn improves the data quality and improves the data query performance.
 That's all for now. I hope you like this article. Stay tuned for more updates…

Where the trees are naturally musical
For centuries, the spruces of the Violin's Forest have been used in the world's finest instruments
Geography and climate have conspired to produce extraordinary trees in the forests east of Predazzo. Managed for 900 years by the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, their timber resonates with an unusually clear and consistent tone, and they have inspired both instrument makers and musicians for centuries.
In winter, all forests feel magical. Hushed and white beneath their mantles of snow, they're beautiful places in which to strap on a pair of snowshoes, and go for a walk.
But for music lovers no forest is more bewitching than la Foresta dei Violini, just east of Paneveggio in the Val di Fiemme. Called, in English, the Violin's Forest, it was colonized long ago by red Italian spruces, and they grow straight and slow along its chilly and sheltered slopes. As a result, their wood is dense and consistent, and makes near-perfect soundboards for musical instruments. Stradivarius used it, and it's still sought after for the world's finest violins, cellos, pianos and guitars. In fact, 10% of the trees here are suitable for this sacred purpose, compared with an average of 0.8%.
The Violin's Forest is just east of the visitor centre of the Nature Park of Paneveggio–Pale di San Martino, which has a small museum dedicated to these musical trees. It also offers guided walks, where you'll learn about the history of the forest, and its careful management. It is, for example, thought that trees intended for soundboards are best harvested during a waning moon in early winter, so that there is less sap in the timber.
The more adventurous should also seek out il Bosco che Suona – "the Valley of Harmony" – which is a 5km walk from the car park at the Miola restaurant, in the Valmaggiore. Here too there is a near-perfect micro-climate for musical trees, and in a remarkable new project, musicians are being invited to adopt a tree, and play a piece of music inspired by it. Download the app "Il Bosco che Suona", on Google Play before you go, and you can listen to the results as you walk through the forest.


Layer and trigger issues
I have a layer (intro layer) with 3 characters with a trigger for each that sends them to separate layers (i.e. character 1 layer, character 2 layer, etc). Each character layer then sends them back to the intro layer when the layer timeline ends. After all 3 characters have been clicked and the character layers viewed I want a trigger to send it to intro layer2. The character layers can also be viewed in any order. How can I do this?

Hi Jennifer,
First, when you say "Intro Layer" are you referring to the base layer - the slide itself?
To achieve this you would probably take advantage of a few variables. If you're not comfortable with variables, don't worry...they're not that bad.
Here's one way to set it up. In order to indicate a user has visited each of the characters you may want to add some sort of visual cue.
 1. Add something like a 'checkmark' to the Visited State of each Character.
 2. Set the base slide properties to "Resume Saved State."
 3. On each of the character layers, set a trigger to Hide This Layer when timeline ends. This will go back to base slide.
 4. Since the user clicked a character it is now in a visited state. So when step #3 completes and hides that layer, the added checkmark to that character should now be visible - Visited.
To jump to your second intro layer, you can add a fourth layer to this slide or jump to a new slide altogether.
 1. Set a Slide Trigger on base slide that Jumps To Slide # - or - Show Layer [fourth layer] > when > character1 AND character2 AND character3 are in a Visited state.
Caution here on that last trigger because it will auto jump to that fourth layer or slide 'before' seeing that final character's Visited state - checkmark. You might want to consider adding a button to the base slide set to Hidden initially. Then change the state of that button when all three character's Visited states are present. Then add a trigger to that button that shows the fourth layer or jumps to the next slide.
Good luck and hope this helps!
Jennifer Jefts
Hi Kevin,
The "intro layer" is not the base layer. I have base layer that I don't want involved in this interaction - it is a created lightbox interaction. i haven't had a chance to try your scenario, but it will it work since the intro layer is not the base layer?


I took $3$ random polynomials with non zero roots one having even degree and two having odd degrees
 1. $f(x)=\color{red}{4}x^2-(4\sqrt3+12)x+12\sqrt3$ having roots $\color{blue}{3,\sqrt3}$ and leading coefficient $\color{red}{4}$ and calculated values of $xf'(x)$$(f'(x)$ is the derivative of $f(x))$ at both roots which are $3f'(3)$ and $\sqrt3f'(\sqrt3)$ and then sum of their reciprocals $\frac1{3f'(3)}+\frac1{\sqrt3f'(\sqrt3)}=\frac{-1}{12\sqrt3}=\frac{-1}{\color{red}{4}}\left(\frac{1}{\color{blue}{3\cdot\sqrt3}}\right)$ then repeated same thing for
 2. $g(x)=\color{red}{1}x^3-\frac{20}{3}x^2-12x+\frac{32}{3}$ having roots $\color{blue}{8,-2,\frac{2}{3}}$
 $\frac1{8g'(8)}+\frac1{-2g'(-2)}+\frac1{\frac{2}{3}g'(\frac2 3)}=\frac{1}{\color{red}{1}}\left(\frac{1}{\color{blue}{8\cdot-2\cdot\frac2 3}}\right)$
 3. $h(x)=\color{red}{1}x^5+41x^4+137x^3-1601x^2-1818x+3240 $ having roots $\color{blue}{1,-2,5,-9,-36}$
 $\frac1{1h'(1)}+\frac1{-2h'(-2)}+\frac1{5h'(5)}+\frac1{-9h'(-9)}+\frac1{-36h'(-36)}=\frac{1}{\color{red}{1}}\left(\frac{1}{\color{blue}{1\cdot-2 \cdot5\cdot-9\cdot-36}}\right)$
Is this true for all polynomials? Is there any known result?

 $\begingroup$ If the polynomial has a double root, then it is a root of its derivative, and the expression is not well-defined. $\endgroup$ – Daniel Aug 16 '19 at 17:06
 - $\begingroup$ You want to show that $\sum\limits_{i=1}^m\frac{a_0}{\sum\limits_{j=1}^nja_jx_i^j}=(-1)^{\deg p}$ where $p(x_i)=\sum\limits_{k=0}^na_kx_i^k=0$ with $m\le n$. $\endgroup$ – TheSimpliFire Aug 16 '19 at 17:22
This results from partial fraction decomposition.
Suppose $g(x)$ has no repeated roots, and without loss of generality is monic (leading coefficient $1$). Then it factors as $\displaystyle g(x)=\prod_{r}(x-r)$ over all roots $r$ and
$$ \frac{1}{g(x)}=\sum_{r}\frac{c(r)}{x-r} $$
for some constants $c(r)$, one for each root $r$. To find the constant $c(s)$ for a specific root $s$, first multiply the equation by the factor $(x-s)$,
$$ \frac{x-s}{g(x)}=c(s)+\sum_{r\ne s} c(r)\frac{x-s}{x-r} $$
then "evaluate" i.e. take the limit $x\to s$ to obtain
$$ \frac{1}{g'(s)}=c(s). $$
Therefore we may plug $x=0$ into
$$ \frac{1}{g(x)} =\sum_{r} \frac{1}{g'(r)(x-r)} $$
and manage negative signs to get
$$ \frac{(-1)^{\deg g}}{\displaystyle \prod r} = -\sum_{r} \frac{1}{rg'(r)}. $$
When $\deg g$ is odd, all signs can go away.
 - $\begingroup$ Beautiful! And I managed to understand all steps! $\endgroup$ – Zamu Aug 16 '19 at 23:22
It is true for all polynomials with non-zero simple roots.
This follows from the barycentric form of Lagrange interpolation: $$ L(x)=\ell (x)\sum _{j=1}^{n}{\frac {w_{j}}{x-x_{j}}}y_{j} $$ where $$ \ell (x)=(x-x_{1})(x-x_{1})\cdots (x-x_{n}), \quad w_{j}={\frac {1}{\ell '(x_{j})}} $$ Therefore, for the constant function $1$ evaluated at $x=0$ we have $$ 1= L(0) = -\ell (0)\sum _{j=1}^{n}{\frac {1}{x_{j}\ell '(x_{j})}} $$ For a polynomial $f$ with simple roots $x_1, \dots, x_n$, we have $$ f(x)=a(x-x_{1})(x-x_{1})\cdots (x-x_{n})=a\ell (x) $$ and so $$ \sum _{j=1}^{n}{\frac {1}{x_{j}f'(x_{j})}} =\sum _{j=1}^{n}{\frac {1}{x_{j}a\ell '(x_{j})}} =-\frac{1}{a\ell(0)} =-\frac{1}{(-1)^{n}ax_1 \cdots x_n} =\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{ax_1 \cdots x_n} $$ This can also be written as $$ \sum _{j=1}^{n}{\frac {1}{x_{j}f'(x_{j})}} =-\frac{1}{f(0)} $$

The Songs from Long Road
Book Description HTML | Report this book
The Songs from Long Road is a loose mosaic of 34 songs and four chapters of prose that deal with the Hopi Indian legend of Pahana. The story assumes that Pahana is/was a real figure, and attempts to place him in the historical context. As such, Long Road selects important historical and religious events in Western, American, and Mesoamerican history, add tales from American Indian mythology, and blends them into a narrative. With a blend of prose and poetry, The Songs from Long Road gives the reader a colorful and distinctly different viewpoint.

A 'bailment' is a non-ownership transfer of possession. Under English Common Law, the right to possess a thing is separate and distinct from owning the thing. In some jurisdictions, an owner of an object can steal his own property, a curious result of the distinction. In context, an owner who lends someone else an article, then secretly takes it back, can be stealing.
When a bailment is created, the article is said to have been 'bailed'. One who delivers the article is the bailor. One who receives a 'bailed' article is the bailee.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A legal relationship in which one party (bailor) leaves personal property in the possession, and under the temporary control, of another (bailee). Common examples include leaving a car in a parking garage, lodging a pet at a kennel, or storing household goods in a storage center. While most bailments are considered "bailments for hire" (in which the bailee is paid), there is also "constructive bailment" when the circumstances create an obligation upon the bailee to protect the goods, and "gratuitous bailment" in which there is no payment, but the bailee is still responsible, such as when a finder of a lost diamond ring places it with a custodian pending finding the owner.

I am stuck in a situation where I want to write Xpath dynamically in the properties file. The actual XPath is like in property File div[contains(text(),'<state Name>')]. State Name changes everytime. How can I write dynamic xpath which fetches from property file?
below is Xpath stored in properties file
data=div[contains(text(),'New Delhi')]
and below code snippet is fetching xpath in test script
String checkCity=prop.getProperty(data) ;
WebElement xpath = driver.findElement(By.xpath(prop.getProperty(locatorKey)));
3 Answers 3
1
You can use the String replace method.
String city = prop.getProperty("data"); // New Delhi
String locatorTemplate = prop.getProperty("locatorKey"); // div[contains(text(),'<state Name>')]
String locator = locatorTemplate.replace(locatorPattern, city); // div[contains(text(),'New Delhi')]
WebElement element = driver.findElement(locator);
locatorPattern in your case would be <state Name>.
The method syntax is as follows:
public String replace(char searchChar, char newChar)
1
You create a string
String cityName = "London";
String data = "div[contains(text(),"+ "'"+cityName +"'"+")]";
System.out.println(data);
You can put in a for loop and then use this data value as locator.
0
I'm going to skip the reading from properties file part, since you seem to have figured it out.
Let's say you have
String data = "div[contains(text(),'New Delhi')]";
You can use Java's split() method to split that string with ' as the delimiter:
a.split("'")
And then take the second element of the resulting array:
a.split("'")[1]
So
System.out.println(a.split("'")[1]);
will print out "New Delhi" to console.

Genetic Codes like art. Daniel Pesta
Daniel Pešta is a multimedia artist who refuses to limit himself to just one medium but experiments across the full spectrum of expressive media; in painting, video, assemblage, conceptual projects and genetic codes.
He was born in 1959 and graduated from the Václav Hollar School of Art. His first focus was on drawings, working as a graphic artist where he designed numerous series of illustrations for a classical music publisher. Following this, Pešta began applying his poster design techniques to non-commissioned work.
At first, he studied the figure, giving shape to its vulnerability. Later, he worked with portraits in which he focused primarily on expression and over time his works became more abstract; he reduced the number of colours and began to develope the essence of his visual style, which exists fully outside contemporary influences.
From around 1998 he began to experiment with a diverse range of materials such as paper, wax, leather, and transparent resin. A typical feature of Pešta's style and one that permeates all his work is the symbol of red string or red thread, painted in the colour of blood. The string symbolizes the inevitability of fate but also the never-ending story of the human race.

What is Healthy Congregations?
Healthy Congregations, Inc. is an ecumenical, not for profit educational and consulting agency which focuses on providing resources for training in understanding emotional process in communities of faith, families and organizations.
Isn't it a program for Christians?
Initially begun as a project based on Peter Steinke's book How Your Church Family Works, this series of six workshops has transformed congregations (including UU) and synagogues all over the country by helping them understand and respond faithfully to emotional process in their communities of faith, their families and other organizations. UU District Executives Connie Goodbread and the Rev. Dr. Richard Speck have adapted the materials for our use in order to be compatible with Unitarian Universalist theologies, which is called "Smart Church."
Who should take Healthy Congregations Training?
Your Central East Regional Group (CERG) staff recommends that every congregation send its leaders to a Healthy Congregations series of trainings. We are committed to offering this program in various geographic locations by certified facilitators on a regular basis so that your congregation can send new leaders every two or three years.
What will our leaders learn if they take this training?
 1. Accept differences
 2. Focus on mission rather than getting along, the past or survival.
 3. Focus on strengths
 4. Respond to anxiety and change
 5. Respond to conflict
 6. Act flexibly and creatively
 7. Leaders promote congregational health through presence and functioning rather than technique, skill or program
 8. Challenge people rather than comfort
 9. Leaders provide immune capacities rather than encouraging disease processes
 10. People respond graciously and truthfully
 11. People develop caring relationships rather than willful transactions
 12. People empower others rather than dominate or cure
 13. Recognize the interdependent web of life, rather than looking at isolated parts
 14. Practice stewardship gratefully and willingly
 15. Combine money and a faithful life
 16. Share lives rather than thinking only of self
 17. Hospitality is offered for all
 18. Beginning again is a way of life
This seems like a lot of time and expense. Is it worth it?
This kind of training offers a depth that will enable your leaders to help shift the culture of your congregation. The first couple of workshops provide an overview of the concepts, then the rest of the workshops will enable your leaders to go deeper into how systems thinking will help you in various parts of congregational life, providing a foundation for real and lasting change.

What range of pipe diameters is available?
PE100 can be manufactured in a wide range of pipe diameters from 16mm to 2000mm. Even larger diameters are possible with the development of appropriate extrusion dies. However the common range of pipe sizes is from 32mm to 1200mm.
Nominal diameter of a PE100 pipe is its external diameter, not its internal bore diameter.
Standard diameters in this range are:
The internal bore diameter for each of these sizes will depend on the SDR of the pipe. Non-standard pipe sizes can be manufactured for specific applications if necessary.

Time-based Events: Regular Classes and Sessions
These always have at least activity, location and startDate specified: so a Yoga class in Downtown Leisure Centre, at 7pm, on a Tuesday. See here for further clarification of the types available.
The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents regular events using a hierarchy of types: EventSeries, SessionSeries, and ScheduledSession, linked via the superEvent and subEvent properties. These are described by example in the diagram below:
Property inheritance
The ScheduledSession will inherit the properties of the SessionSeries, and the SessionSeries will inherit the properties of the EventSeries.
This means that if an EventSeries is not supplied, its details must be included on the SessionSeries.
Property inheritance overrides
The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents regular events using a hierarchy of types: EventSeries, SessionSeries, and ScheduledSession. These are described by example in the diagram below:
Permissible configurations
A SessionSeries must always be supplied, including details that would otherwise be present in an EventSeries if no EventSeries is supplied.
In order for data to be bookable a ScheduledSession must be supplied, either embedded, within a separate feed, or generated through a Schedule.
For large providers with many events that are described identically but occur in the same location or in different locations, an EventSeries should be used to group these together. This avoids seemingly duplicate search results from a single provider.
Exposing the model in feeds
For systems targeting small providers, the ScheduledSession may be embedded in the SessionSeries or visa versa.
For systems targeting large providers or small providers with high volumes of sessions, the ScheduledSession is highly recommended to be provided in a separate feed to the SessionSeries. This will reduce data transfer volumes significantly.
The EventSeries is unlikely to change frequently enough compared with the SessionSeries to warrant its own feed, and so can usually be embedded in the SessionSeries.
For bookable data, the possible feed combinations are described in the diagram below:
Bookable data feed examples:
Listings data feed examples:
Use of @id and superEvent for split feeds
When referencing data across feeds (such as between SessionSeries and ScheduledSession), the value of the @id must be used.
An @id is a globally unique identifier which must be in URL format for the purposes of namespacing. The @id does not need to resolve to a functional endpoint, but must use a domain name controlled by the organization or system publishing the data. See here for more information.
So for a minimal implementation simply invent a URL pattern that includes your domain for use as your @id, such as:
"_URL_
For example within a SessionSeries feed, the SessionSeries @id is defined for each data item:
"data": {
"@context": "_URL_
"@type": "SessionSeries",
"@id": "_URL_
...
}
And within a corresponding ScheduledSession feed, that SessionSeries @id is referenced by the superEvent property:
"data": {
"@context": "_URL_
"@type": "ScheduledSession",
"@id": "_URL_
"superEvent": "_URL_
...
}
Time-based Events: Ad-hoc Events
The OpenActive model allows for ad-hoc events to be described using the pattern below. Ad-hoc events must only be used to describe truly ad-hoc events, and not to describe regular events such as those described in the previous section. See here for further clarification of the types available.
Summary of ad-hoc event types
The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents ad-hoc events using a hierarchy of types: EventSeries and Event, linked via the superEvent and subEvent properties. These are described by example in the diagram below:
Property inheritance
The Event will inherit the properties of the EventSeries.
This means that if an EventSeries is not supplied, its details must be included on the Event.
Permissible configurations
An Event must always be supplied, including details that would otherwise be present in an EventSeries if no EventSeries is supplied.
For large providers with many events that are described identically but occur in the same location or in different locations, an EventSeries should be used to group these together. This avoids seemingly duplicate search results from a single provider.
Exposing the model in feeds
Systems must include Events in stand-alone feeds separate from ScheduledSessions and SessionSeries.
The EventSeries is unlikely to change frequently enough compared with the Event to warrant its own feed, and so can usually be embedded in the Event.
For bookable data, example feed combinations are described in the diagram below:
Bookable data feed examples:
Slot-based Events: FacilityUses
These always have at least activity andlocation specified, where the activity can be booked in slots: so a Tennis at Downtown Leisure Centre with slots available hourly from 8am until 8pm.
Two different levels of granularity are available: A FacilityUse represents "Badminton at Downtown Leisure Centre", where as IndividualFacilityUse is "Court 2 in Sports Hall 3 for Badminton at Towntown Leisure Centre".
The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents slot-based events using a hierarchy of types: FacilityUse/IndividualFacilityUse and Slot, linked via the facilityUse and event properties.
For facilities a publisher must implement the following two independent feeds:
Additionally, to publish specific court availability they must also implement the following two feeds:
 - _URL_
 - _URL_
Use of @id and facilityUse for split feeds
When referencing data across feeds (such as between FacilityUse and Slot), the value of the @id must be used.
An @id is a globally unique identifier which must be in URL format for the purposes of namespacing. The @id does not need to resolve to a functional endpoint, but must use a domain name controlled by the organization or system publishing the data. See here for more information.
So for a minimal implementation simply invent a URL pattern that includes your domain for use as your @id, such as:
"_URL_
For example within a FacilityUse feed, the FacilityUse @id is defined for each data item:
"data": {
"@context": "_URL_
"@type": "FacilityUse",
"@id": "_URL_
...
}
And within a corresponding Slot feed, that FacilityUse @id is referenced by the facilityUse property:
"data": {
"@context": "_URL_
"@type": "Slot",
"@id": "_URL_
"facilityUse": "_URL_
...
}
Other types of Time-based Events: Headline Events and Courses
A feed of HeadlineEvent can be used to represent whole day or multi-day events, such as mass participation events, family fun days, etc.
 - The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents these events using a hierarchy of types: HeadlineEvent (for the overall event) and Event (for small events within the overall event) linked via the superEvent and subEvent properties.
 - See here for further clarification, and here for an example.
A feed of CourseInstance can be used to represent a fixed-length course.
 - The OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0 represents these events using a hierarchy of types: CourseInstance (for the whole course) and Event (for the individual occurrences) linked via the superEvent and subEvent properties.
 - See here for further clarification, and here for an example.
Event relationship overview
The following diagram illustrates the relationships between the event types available within the OpenActive Modelling Specification 2.0:
Note the use of aliases (e.g. "IndividualFacilityUseSlot") which are useful when referring to a specific type that is being used in a particular context.
The relationship between all types is represented via the superEvent and subEvent properties, with the exception of:
 - FacilityUse/IndividualFacilityUse and Slot, which are linked via the facilityUse and event properties
 - FacilityUse and IndividualFacilityUse, which are linked via the aggregateFacilityUse and individualFacilityUse properties.
Schema.org type inheritance overview
The model itself (the properties within the types) follows a different inheritance structure to the property inheritance structure described above.
EventSeries, SessionSeries, ScheduledSession, HeadlineEvent, CourseInstance, and Slot all sub-class Event.
This can be useful for modelling the entities within certain frameworks.

How To Breakdown Stuck Tractor Tire?
How do you break down a tractor tire?
Use a sledgehammer or crowbar to break the bead of the tire. If you have a large tractor tire, use a sledgehammer to strike the tire just above the edge of the rim where they connect to break the bead. Continue hitting the tire around the entire circumference of the rim to break the seal completely.
How do you break a stubborn tire bead?
Basically what you do is just leave a a couple psi of air in the tires, and lay the wheel on its side, and step on the tire with your foot. It is a tight fit, but use your body weight to break the bead. This works, done it several times.
How much does it cost to change a tractor tire?
Can I cut a tire off a rim?
The tire is held to the rim by an area called the bead. The sidewall in between the bead and tread surface is relatively weak on steel belted radial tires. You can cut though it with a the drywall knife pictured. You will however need a saw blade or cutoff wheel for the bead wires.

I am trying to understand why the order of the stabilizer group of a body diagonal of a cube is 6 rather than 3. It is clear to me that rotations about that diagonal stabilize the diagonal, by definition, and the order of this group is 3 (including the identity). So that means there must be 3 other, non-identity, rotations that stabilize this diagonal. I am terrible at geometry and I cannot think of what these others would be. I don't think that any of the rotations about $i$, $j$, $k$ can stabilize the diagonal, and I can't see 3 elements of order 2 doing this either. But then there are no elements left to consider! I am confused.
share|improve this question
There is a "swap the poles" symmetry (180 degree rotation that swaps the two ends of the body diagonal), and if you allow reflections, the "inversion" should also work. (A good answer should have a picture too :-) – Jack Schmidt Oct 17 '12 at 19:29
have you considered rotary reflections? – user39280 Oct 17 '12 at 19:32
_USER_ and dado, does the "swap the poles" symmetry correspond to a "double-rotation" about the $i$, $j$, and $k$ axis (st order of these guys is 2)? Or am I misunderstanding you? – tacos_tacos_tacos Oct 17 '12 at 20:17
_USER_: $(i,j,k) \mapsto (-j,-i,-k)$ or $a\mathbf{i}+b\mathbf{j} +c\mathbf{k} \mapsto -b\mathbf{i}-a\mathbf{j}-c\mathbf{k}$ is the rotation in terms of the coordinates. The cube itself is all $(a,b,c)=a\mathbf{i}+b\mathbf{j} +c\mathbf{k}$ such that $|a| \leq 1$, $|b|\leq 1$, $|c|\leq 1$. I still think a good answer deserves a picture, but if no-one will post one, I'll write up the linear algebra version. – Jack Schmidt Oct 17 '12 at 23:38

This computer learned how to make Mario levels by watching YouTube
This computer learnt how to make Mario levels from YouTube
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built a computer that can design videogame levels after watching footage of those games on YouTube. The first test? Mario, of course.
The system ignores the playable character and instead looks at the other elements on screen - pipes, coins, blocks and enemies. From that, it establishes rules - like how pipes in Mario games tend to come out of the ground, and the maximum width that a jump can be. It also looks at which sections players spend the most time on.
"An initial evaluation of our approach indicates an ability to produce level sections that are both playable and close to the original without hand coding any design criteria," said Matthew Guzdial, lead researcher on the project.
Mamma mia!
After watching 17 samples of gameplay, the system was able to output 151 different level sections, and 334 once the constraints were slackened a little. The resulting chunks can be glued together into a level and easily ported into a game engine.
Mark Riedl, who also worked on the system, said that by applying the technique across several games of the same genre, the rules of that genre could be established and entire games created algorithmically. In short, the next hit mobile game might not be designed by humans at all.
The details of the research have been published online.

Welcome to ReDeadstock SoleClear. This is where we're going to show you how to use this amazing product to reverse the oxidation process (yellowed soles). Check out the video below, and read the steps/tips that follow.
Make sure your sneakers are clean first
Step 1: Tape off areas that do not require deoxidation.
Step 2: Apply SoleClear from the applicator bottle to the soles.
Step 3: Brush the solution evenly so that it does not drip. (Make sure the area you want deoxidized is cover. Be generous with the solution).
Step 4. Use plastic wrap to cover the area covered with SoleClear.
Step 5. Place sneakers under the sun.
Step 6. Check them frequently to make sure they do not get too hot! Heat causes sole separation. Optimal conditions are on cold sunny days.
Step 7. Take sneakers out of the sun to allow for cooling (if necessary).
Step 8. Repeat steps 1-8 until desired results are achieved.
Always keep these tips in mind when using ReDeadstock SoleClear
- This solution contains peroxides, which are harmful to the skin. Always use gloves and protective eyewear when handling. If you happen to get any on your skin, rinse with room temperature water immediately for at least 2 minutes. This will dilute the solution. Consult a physician if necessary.
- Make sure you do NOT overexpose your sneakers to UV light. This will result in your soles losing grip. We do not recommend the indoor UV light method when using SoleClear for this reason.
- Do NOT let your shoes get too hot. This will cause the glue in your sneakers to melt. Once glue melts, anything held together by glue will separate (think sole separation). Check them frequently and keep them cool.
- How do you keep the sneakers cool? We recommend facing a fan at the sneakers. This keeps them from getting too hot, and will allow you to keep them under the sun for an extended period of time. Another great tip to leave the sneakers facing the sun inside a window. You can use the fan indoors this way, and it may be much cooler in the house. You still want to check the sneakers frequently in case they fall over, or if the fan shuts off for any reason.
- Oxidized/yellowed soles can only reverse so much in some situations. We'll show you some examples here so that you can set your expectation levels. Refer to our case studies as well as they are excellent documented trials as to how far you can deoxidize.

For example, this excavated iron above just looks like a lump of material. It is not even obvious that there is something inside it. Analysis using x-ray radiation showed that there are the remains of a harness buckle inside. In fact the actual harness has rusted away. All that remains are the traces of the corroded metal in the shape of the original object. The buckle was probably used on an animal harness.

Why Curiosity Is Good For Business
Being successful at business requires many things: courage, creativity, people skills, and so forth. However, there is one character trait whose importance is sometimes neglected: curiosity.
Curiosity helps you in:
 - Building customer relationships. People are drawn to those who show interest in them. Having an abiding fascination in others give you the opportunity to learn new things about them, thereby making a deeper connection.
 - Increasing your business acumen. Being curious about your own industry and the industries of your prospects drives you to learn more. As you satisfy your curiosity, you're augmenting your ability to add value to your customers' business.
 - Solving customer problems. It's a truism that customers are looking for solutions to their problems. It's only possible to create a meaningful solution if you're motivated by true curiosity about what's actually going on and why those problems recur.
 - Negotiating win/win contracts. Your ability to understand the positions of the other party are directly dependent upon your ability to feel true curiosity about them. If you're not curious, you'll end up arguing about issues that aren't important.
 - Correcting sales errors. When a customer buys from somebody else (or doesn't buy from anyone at all), if you're not curious about what that happened, you won't bother to find out why, and therefore can't learn from your failures.
 - Creating great products. Would-be innovators who aren't curious about what makes people tick and why technology works (or doesn't) can't possibly create workable products or services that people want buy.
 - Motivating your employees. Some bosses think of employees as cogs in a corporate machine. However, if you want to get the best out of people, you must be curious about their dreams and desires.
Curiosity is about adopting an attitude of inquisitiveness and being open-minded about learning new things, without any preconceptions clouding your understanding. If you don't have curiosity, you can't expect to be successful in business.

Design of attitude determination and control system for Hokkaido Satellite
Koichiro Sugimoto, Kosei Ishimura, Daigaku Igarashi
Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper
1 Citation (Scopus)
Abstract
This paper describes the design and performance verification of the attitude determination and control system for the Hokkaido Satellite. The main missions of the satellite are earth observation during sunlight and laser communication during sunshade. The purpose of the attitude determination and control system is to stabilize the attitude around three axes within three degrees. The satellite is stabilized by a momentum wheel (MW). The attitude determination system consists of an earth sensor and an inertia reference unit (IRU). Based on the Kalman filter, the determination system can estimate three attitude angles and IRU bias rates without a yaw sensor. The control modes of the satellite are an attitude acquisition mode, a normal mode and a safe-hold mode. For the normal mode of the wheel-stabilized earth pointing satellite, a new pointing control law is proposed. The proposed law simultaneously achieves nutation dumping and angular momentum direction control relative to the orbital coordinate system. The control law consists of pitch angle control by MW, roll and yaw axes control by magnetic torquers (MTQ) and angular momentum control by MTQ. Through numerical simulations, it was confirmed that the determination laws and the control laws can achieve the required attitude accuracy and stabilization time.

Japanese cosmetics company Cosmology has created specialised beauty products to address astronauts' skincare needs in space. Olivia Palamountain reports
A collaboration between skincare brand Pola and All Nippon Airways (ANA Holdings), the Cosmology skincare products were created after the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) called for skincare solutions that could be used in the resource-scarce, low-gravity and extremely dry conditions of outer space.
The innovative line includes a face wash and lotion optimised for use on the International Space Station (ISS), developed based on feedback from astronauts about deteriorating skin conditions experienced in spaceflights.
Extended exposure in space can dry out and thin the skin, causing irritation, itchiness and accelerated ageing. The extremely low-moisture environment and microgravity take a toll on the skin, which acts as the body's protective barrier.
Cosmology's space skincare products tackles these issues with innovative formulations. The no-rinse face wash removes dirt without the need for water, which is rationed aboard space ships, while the lotion maintains a thick, gel-like texture that won't scatter in zero gravity.
The products will debut on the ISS when they accompany JAXA astronaut Kimiya Yui sometime in 2024.
These are not the first cosmetics to head to outer space. As reported by CNN, in 2021, former NASA astronaut Joan Higginbotham talked to InStyle about using Vaseline, Cetaphil, foundation, blush, mascara and lipstick during missions, while Estée Lauder has sent a skincare serum into outer space as part of a commercial partnership with the American space agency.
However, Cosmology is the first line specially formulated for the rigours of life in space, with the aims of improving astronauts' quality of life and addressing common skincare concerns.
For anyone seeking astronaut-approved skincare without leaving Earth, mini versions of the Cosmology products will hit the shelves in October as the "Cosmology Space Crew Kit".
The kit is set to launch in about 2,800 stores, including Pola shops and on its website, plus 12 domestic airport duty-free shops. ANA international in-flight sales are also in the pipeline.
Meanwhile, London-based 111Skin creating products for Earthlings that respond to the cosmetic damage caused by life at microgravity, reports Wallpaper.


Dynamic Number of Rows in Repeating Group
I am trying to create a page where the user can select a number (1-10) from a drop down. Depending on the number they select, I want to show that many sections/rows in a repeating group (or something similar). So for example, if the user selects "2", the RG should only show 2 rows. I know I could probably do this by storing the "number of rows" in the database, but I was hoping to do this with states. Any advice on if this can be done or how to go about something like this?
In your rg data source, use :items until state#.

@yourmom
Custom state on the page of type number. Let's call it rowsnumber.
The dropdown can have … say … 10 static numbers. Use the event "when inputs value changes" (this dropdown would be the input) set its value to the rownsnumber page custom state.
In the rg set 10 conditions when the page custom state rowsnumber is 1 … to 10 … to have the data source be of search things :items until # … and set that number to be the dropdown value.
That should do the trick :grinning:

Visualizing Density of Healthcare Workers Across Time and Countries
We present a visualization that makes use of a novel highlighting and animation technique. The primary motivation behind the design of this visualization was to enable people to look at data about healthcare services, and specifically to increase their knowledge about the impact of the amount of healthcare workers per capita. We use animation in the process of showing changes within an individual country over the course of several years, as well as to facilitate comparisons between multiple countries at once, by letting people keep track of selected countries. We discuss the motivation behind our use of animation, our choice to include a search bar, and potential areas for improvement and revision.

$ realizing $\delta$, the following holds: $0\in H$ if and only if there exists $x_k$ with $\langle P, P-x_k\rangle >0$. (Very compact proof: If one of those exists, one can reduce $\delta$ by using the method of 3. As the new minimum may not lie on the boundary as it has not been found in the first run, $0\in H$ has to hold. Otherwise assume $0\in H$ and no scalar product fulfills the given condition. Then one can write $0$ as convex combination of the $x_i$ and express $0<||P||_2^2=\langle{P,P-0}\rangle$ and, using linearity of the scalar product, show that this is $\leq 0$ and thus getting a contradiction).
Putting all of this together one yields the following algorithm:
 1. Init $d_\min = \infty$.
 2. For $i\in\{0,\ldots, n-1\}$ do:
 1. Compute $n_i$ = $||x_i||_2^2$
 2. For ($j \in \{i+1,\ldots, n-1\}$ do
 1. Compute $s_{i,j}=\langle x_i, x_j\rangle$.
 2. Compute $n_j=||x_j||_2^2$.
 3. Decide:
 - If $s_{i,j}\geq n_i$ set $d=n_i, c=1$.
 - If $s_{i,j}\geq n_j$ set $d=n_j, c = 0$.
 - Else set $c = (n_i-s_{i,j})/(n_i+n_j-2s_{i,j})$ and $d=n_i- (n_i-s_{i,j})\cdot c$.
 4. If $d (1-c)s_{i,k}+c s_{j,k}$ return 0.
 4. Return $d_\min$.
This algorithm is based on the rules 1-5 above, however, the conditions are formulated a bit more efficient. Please apologize the incomplete reasoning. I found this solution appealing as it allows a lot of optimization in my special scenario. I already computed all norms of the $x_i$ somewhere else, so this is no further effort. Furthermore, the parent algorithm scans a set of values, successively replacing one $x_i$ with another $x_i'$ and then again computing the distance to the convex hull. This means that most of the distances can be saved and used later and for each iteration I only have to do very little work in updating and computing very few (as for my main problem, where $n=4$ it is 3) scalar products.
Thank you for your support and the in fact very valuable input.

Czech Lion 2021
World bullion coins are often dedicated to the national symbols, therefore, the "Czech Lion", which is the first mintage of its kind intended for the Czech market, is not an exception. The weight of the gold coin of the Czech Mint is a quarter of a troy ounce.
The legend of Bruncvík
, a mythical prince who traveled to Africa, where he helped the animal king to fight the dragon, belongs to the most famous stories of how an exotic lion became a symbol of the Czech land. Old chroniclers offer a more plausible explanation. According to them, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa rewarded Prince Vladislaus II. with a royal crown and a new heraldic animal, which replaced the previous eagle in 1158. The lion represented the knight's virtues, strength and courage, which were demonstrated by Vladislaus during the conquest of Milan in the imperial service. And how did the heraldic beast come to its second tail? Heroism played a key role again. King Ottokar I of Bohemia helped Emperor Otto IV. in the fight against the Saxons in 1204, and the Czech lion received a second tail for it, which distinguished it from the beasts of other nations and provided it with a unique prestige. However, medieval writers liked to color their stories, therefore, they are not a reliable source of information. Therefore, the first verifiable Czech lion was a symbol of the Přemyslid dynasty and appears on the equestrian seal of Vladislaus Henry from 1203. Only Ottokar II, the Iron and Golden King, placed the lion on the coat of arms.
All variants of the bullion coin
were reworked in 2021, but the main idea remained. The reverse sides are dominated by the Czech lion in an untraditionally realistic processing with the St. Wenceslas Crown on its head. The obverse sides then bear an eagle on a shield, which is a synthesis of St. Wenceslas, Moravian and Silesian predators. The author of the relief is traditionally the medal maker Asamat Baltaev, DiS. Since the Czech Mint's coins are licensed by a foreign issuer, the island of Niue, their obverse sides bear its necessary attributes - the name and portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the year of issue 2021 and the nominal value of 10 DOLLARS (NZD).
Invest in a smart, stylish way and
without VAT! In our offer you will also find other variants of the bullion coin "Czech Lion" made of gold and silver. This will allow you to easily regulate how much money you invest in precious metals.
The Czech Mint
has extensive experience with the production of bullion coins. We have been minting "Czech Lion" gold and silver coins since 2017 and they have become popular among investors not only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but also in Hungary, Germany, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Canada and the United States. The world's largest online distributor of precious metals has also requested them for its offer. One of the reasons why the Czech Mint's investment (bullion) coins have so quickly joined the ranks of world-famous counterparts (such as the Austrian Wiener Philharmoniker, the Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, the American Eagle, the Chinese Panda or the Australian Kangaroo) is their low emission costs. While investment coins of foreign mints are minted in millions of pieces, the emission limit of coins minted in the Czech Republic is counted in hundreds or thousands. This fact increases the potential for appreciation of investment and adds a collector's dimension. Thanks to the artistic processing, the coin will also serve perfectly as an original and valuable gift - for graduation, wedding, the birth of a child or just for fun…

At this point of time 90-95% of Maize is grown under film in Ireland.
The use of film allows maize to be sown 2 – 3 weeks earlier than conventional open crops. Sowing under film creates a micro climate when the plant can be challenged during the first few weeks. This helps to develop a much larger root system which will increase yield and bring harvest date forward. Trial results and experience have shown that certain maize hybrids are more suited to sowing under film than others. Planting dates and growing location should determine the maturity of hybrid to be sown. Other features such as high relative yield and standing ability can identify the appropriate hybrid to be grown.
