How To Identify Mobile Phone Parts/functions (Small Parts)
The Small Parts On A Mobile Phone's PCB
In this article on "How To Identify Mobile Phone Parts/functions " we shall be focusing on "The Small Parts" found on mobile phones generally before digging in to "The Big Parts",
Most technicians who do not know how important it is to identify mobile phone parts/functions performed by each of these parts may not be able to achieve much and might even experience more damages or make avoidable mistakes by neglecting such an indispensable aspect of the art. Its so funny sometimes when you see some G.S.M Technicians doing a jumper connecting two points say from A to B where a a shorted capacitor or diode was removed. Such a thing should rather be done for a fuse in power section or where appropriate instead.
When you do jumper for a capacitor, you are creating an artificial short and adding more salt to the injury! You should rather do that for an open circuit where you are sure their is a broken path. Alright, that was just by the way. At this point, we will begin to consider how to identify mobile phone parts/functions they perform.
How To Identify Mobile Phone Parts/functions They Perform
Resistors: A solid state electronic component that resist or limit the flow of current in a Mobile Phone SMT Resistorscircuit to a measured value. It opposes the flow of current, and is measured in ohms using the multi-meter. When a resistor is open a phone can go dead. When the resistance value of a resistor drops say from 1.5 Kilo Ohms to 700 Ohms, then more current will flow into the circuit board and vice versa. Get a schematic or block diagrams to find out the exact value the manufacturer assigned so you can read on your PCB and check if it corresponds or needs to be changed. You can check the measurement using the multi-meter in Ohms mode. Resistors with 0 resistances will act like fuse, so they will give sound in buzzer mode while a 1kilo Ohms resistor will not give a buzzer sound in same mode. The values of resistors are written on them, but in cases where they are too small, the values are not written and are therefore left plane. However one can still know the resistance value using the ohms mode on the multi-meter.
Capacitors: An electronic component that acts as filter by filtering electric current from eitherMobile Phone SMT Capacitors AC or DC source and creating stability and eliminating noise in a circuit. Capacitors can be either polarized or non-polarized. When working with a polarized capacitor, you will have to take the positive and the negative terminal into consideration by making sure they are placed according to the positive and the negative terminals. The non-polarized can be placed in any direction you like; they can be found in grey, brown and orange like colors. One can find the SMT polarized capacitors in two colors on mobile phones in black with a white strip representing negative, and orange color capacitor with a brown strip representing negative side. To know the value of a capacitor, its capacitance is measured using the capacitance meter. Depending on where the capacitor is found in a circuit, it can affect the proper functioning of those hardware components it is connected to. If charging capacitor is shorted for example, the phone won't charge and chargers may get burnt amongst other things the phone can go dead too. A faulty capacitor will give sound in buzzer mode while a good one will not. You can also check if it's good in battery mode. While set to 20 DCV if it keeps dropping in reading it's a healthy sign. While set to Ohms mode say like 2000k, if it keeps increasing in reading, it's a good sign
Diode: An electronic component that allow current flow in a particular direction; either Mobile Phone SMT Diodesforward bias or reverse bias depending on the circumstances of the flow of current. The diode you will familiarize with in GSM repairs includes the following: Zenar diode, rectifier diode, photo diode and the light emitting diode known as the LED.
The Zener diode is found in the charging section and is responsible for filtering, protecting, minimizing and regulating current and passing it forward; it comes in different strength and values i.e. 4volts, 6volts, 8volts 10volts etc.
The rectifier diode on the other hand is found in power section and converts AC current into DC. It allows the flow of current in the one forward bias direction and not reverse bias like the zener diode.
The photo diode mainly senses and capture light rays for infrared functionality; by this means it is able to transfer data for a required user function. This application is found in sensors, remote controls and some high tech medical equipment.
The LEDs (Light Emitting Diode ) primarily emits or produces light. It is a crystal substance that produces light when current flows through it. The light color is determined by the crystal color combination. LEDs illuminate the phone's screen display. You can test if the LED is good by using the both test leads of your multi-meter to check if it glows when in buzzer mode. Aside the diodes discoursed here; there are several other diodes like tunnel diode, shocky diode etc
Normally, a diode is tested in the buzzer mode. If it gives sound in buzzer mode, that is a bad sign that it is shorted and should be removed so that it doesn't affect the functioning of any part of a phone's smooth working. A good diode should read 1 in one direction and more than 1 in the other direction when you test with a multi-meter. A bad diode giving buzzer sound can affect any part of a phone. It can affect power, it can affect charging etc.
Transistor: A semi-conductor solid state electronic device. It's a combination of two or moreSMT Transistor diode acting as switching mechanism in an electronic circuit. Generally speaking there are two main types of transistors namely the NPN transistors and the PNP transistors. A transistor consists of the base (B), the collector (C) and the emitter (E). Aside acting as a switch, it also performs amplification of electronic signals. The commonly used of the duo is the NPN, and this probably because it is easily made from silicon which is cheap and readily available. A good example of how it amplifies electronic signals is when you are about to snap a picture, you notice a sudden flash of LED light in its fullest strength! That's the amplification function aspect. There are lots of them on the PCB and can be found in charging sections, power IC section, display IC sections etc.
Coils: Coils may either be boost or step down coils depending on the function they perform Mobile Phone SMT Coils - Inductorsjust like what you see in the case of AC to DC transformers. Boost coil can be found in any part of a phone's PCB. They are required to step up current-voltage required for a specific function according to a measure of value while on the other hand, the step down coils helps to reduce and regulate the flow of current to a determined value. Step down coils usually supply current to ICs that function at low current-voltage level, this is why they are spread all across a phone's PCB like the resistors and caps. A faulty coil could create and open thereby interrupting the value of current expected to flow through a circuit in a mobile phone's PCB.
Backlight Driver: The backlight driver in a mobile phone supplies a regulated amount of Phone SMD LCD Backlight Driverelectric current needed for the phone LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to be illuminated. The backlight driver has eight legs or pins and comes in different sizes and shapes and can be found in the power section of a mobile phone mostly close to the battery terminal. When the backlight driver is faulty the phone screen will go black and nothing will be visible in the display.

Definition of Homozygote
Homozygote: A person who has two identical forms of a particular gene, one inherited from each parent.
For example, a girl who is a homozygote for cystic fibrosis (CF) received the cystic fibrosis gene from both of her parents and therefore has cystic fibrosis.
The opposite of a homozygote is a heterozygote, a person who has two different forms of a particular gene. For example, the father and mother of a cystic fibrosis child are heterozygotes for cystic fibrosis (CF). Each carries one normal gene and one cystic fibrosis gene but has no signs or symptoms of the disease.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

variancep — aggregate function to return the population variance of a range of values.
This function computes a value for each record returned by the query predicate, or from the specified column of a base table, and returns the population variance of those values.
This variancep() function is similar to the variance() function, but is calculated using the biased (or n) method. The variancep() function is usually used when the incoming data represents the entire population of data. Use variance() instead when the incoming data represents a random sample.
expr must include the name of a
column in a LiveView table, where that column's data type is int, long, or double.
The returned value is of type double.
This example shows how to use dynamic aggregation to find the population variance of the values in a column. In the Hello LiveView sample, create a query that finds the population variance of the quantityRemaining field from the ItemSales table, grouping by Item. Follow these steps:
In LiveView Desktop connected to a server running the Hello LiveView sample, select the ItemsSales table from the Tables pane of the LiveView Tables view.
In the Select field, enter:
category, variancep(quantityRemaining) AS popvarQuantity
In the Query field, enter the following:
group by category
The query results open in a grid view. LiveView Server recalculates the population variance value whenever the rows returned by the query predicate change.
This LiveView aggregate function is based on the variancep aggregate function in the StreamBase expression language.

Question: Do Tomatoes Scream When You Cut Them?
Does a plant feel pain when you cut it?
Do tomatoes cry?
Drought-stressed tomato plants emitted about 35 ultrasonic squeals per hour, on average, while those with cut stems made about 25. Drought-stressed tobacco plants let out about 11 screams per hour, and cut crops made about 15 sounds in the same time.
Does grass scream when you cut it?
Scientists have discovered that grass blades scream when cut with a lawnmower. … While human ears can only hear sounds up to about 16,000 Hz, scientists have now measured vocalizations of 85,326 Hz emanating from grass blades cut by a power lawn mower.
Do cucumbers scream when you cut them?
Although not audible to the human ear, the secret voices of plants have revealed that cucumbers scream when they are sick, and flowers whine when their leaves are cut [source: Deutsche Welle]. There's also evidence that plants can hear themselves being eaten. … This network helps plants propagate, grow and survive.
Do trees have genders?
Lots of trees are hermaphroditic — that is, their flowers contain both male and female reproductive parts. Other species have male trees and female trees, which you can tell apart by looking at their flowers: The male reproductive parts are the pollen-laden stamen; the female parts their egg-holding pistils.
Do plants die if you yell at them?
Marini does admit that sound waves can have an effect on plants because they make them vibrate, and that vibration causes the plants to create ethylene, stunting their growth, but adds that sound would not cause them to wilt and certainly wouldn't kill them.
Do plants feel love?
Plants Really Do Respond to The Way We Touch Them, Scientists Reveal. It's something that plant lovers have long suspected, but now Australian scientists have found evidence that plants really can feel when we're touching them.
What happens if you never cut grass?
After long periods without mowing, the grass may go to seed, causing the blades to look more like weeds than grass. In addition to decreased curb appeal, excessively tall grass puts the homeowner at risk for complaints. Many cities require homeowners to keep the lawn mowed.
Why does grass smell when it's cut?
What's the secret behind the sweet smell of cut grass? … Chemically speaking, that classic lawn smell is an airborne mix of carbon-based compounds called green leaf volatiles, or GLVs. Plants often release these molecules when damaged by insects, infections or mechanical forces — like a lawn mower.

THIS SURVEY EXPLORES CANADIANS' AND AMERICANS' PERSPECTIVES ON MORTGAGE RATES AND INFLATION.
As inflation remains high, many Canadians and Americans are exploring ways to reduce their expenses. In our latest North American Tracker, we explored how inflation is impacting Canadians and Americans, and how an increase in mortgage rates would impact Canadians and Americans who currently have a mortgage.
This survey is conducted in collaboration with the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) and published in the Canadian Press. This series of surveys is available on Leger's website. Would you like to be the first to receive these results? Subscribe to our newsletter now.
MORTGAGE RATES AND INFLATION
- If mortgage rates went up by 1%, 13% of Canadians and 10% of Americans who have a mortgage would either face a significant financial burden, have to consider selling their home or have to sell their home. These figures balloon if rates were to increase by 3%.
- The proportion of Canadians (85%) and Americans (88%) who indicate that inflation is a serious problem for their household has increased since our last survey published on March 17, 2022.
- The top actions Canadians and Americans have taken due to rising inflation over the past few months are:
- Buying less expensive items at the grocery store (65% of Canadians, 49% of Americans)
- Eating at restaurants or ordering take-out less often (53% of Canadians, 41% of Americans)
- Reducing food waste to make their money go further (46% of Canadians, 40% of Americans)
This web survey was conducted from May 6 to 8, 2022, with 1,534 Canadians and 1,003 Americans, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO's online panel.
A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey. For comparison, a probability sample of 1,534 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.5%, 19 times out of 20, while a probability sample of 1,003 respondents would have a margin of error of ±3.094%, 19 times out of 20.
THIS REPORT CONTAINS THE RESULTS FOR THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND MORE!
- If mortgage rates went up, what would be the impact on your household finances?
- How serious a problem is inflation/increasing interest rates for your household?
- How would you describe your own household's finances today?
- What is the impact of inflation on your household in the following areas? Has inflation had…

The Dominion Post is reporting on what is most likely the inevitable spread of didymo algae (Didymosphenia geminata, also known as "rock snot") to the North Island of New Zealand. Didymo has been recorded all over the South Island since it first was spotted back in 2004. Now tests done on water from several North Island rivers show evidence of dead didymo cells present in the samples.
With dead cells there, can live ones be far behind? This seems to be more about detecting *when* and not *if* healthy didymo arrives on the North Island and starts to spread. Biosecurity New Zealand scientists sound like they are ready and waiting with a rapid response protocol that includes closing off impacted rivers and treating them with chelated copper. In the meantime, officials are asking anyone using the waterways to employ their own "Check, Clean, and Dry" protocol in an attempt to prevent didymo from spreading.

Remote, Rugged & Natural; that's North Harris
"There are some large areas of Scotland, particularly in the north and west, whose largely semi-natural landscapes show minimal signs of human influence. These can be mountains and moorland, stretches of undeveloped coast or large areas of peat bog. These wild and remote areas have a distinct and special character, which is increasingly rare to find. A key component of Scotland's identity, they bring significant economic benefits, attracting visitors and tourists. Many people derive psychological and spiritual benefit from their existence, and they provide increasingly important havens for Scotland's wildlife." – from the Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) website.
An exercise is now underway to map Scotland's wildness and wild land. SNH is analysing Scottish land, and reporting on its:
- Percieved naturalness
- Absence of modern artifacts

The variable $RANDOM (actually a bash function) returns a random number from 0 to 32767 inclusive.
You would typically want to limit its range by dividing it by some number and take its remainder, eg.
# output a random number 0 to 3
echo $((RANDOM % 4))
In this simplistic example it'll be very slightly biased for any divisor that doesn't divide equally into 32768 (eg, anything that isn't a power of two), but in your scenario I don't think you'd be troubled by a slight bias.
To pick a random file, you'd name your files something like:
And then you can pick a random one with
# output a random file from file0.jpg to file3.jpg

helpful use of RANDOM, I accepted! – Pandya Jul 7 at 5:55
Note that RANDOM % N doesn't result in an equal distribution unless the number of possible values of RANDOM (32768) is divisible by N. To see this, imagine the range of RANDOM was instead 0-4 (5 possible values), and N is 2: there's three ways for $RANDOM % 2 to yield 0 (if $RANDOM yields 0, 2, 4) but two ways for it to yield 1 (1, 3). For an equal distribution you'd have to find the greatest multiple of N that's smaller than 32767 and ignore any random values that are larger than that. In the previous example that'd amount to ignoring 5, which is larger than 4. – Doval Jul 7 at 14:43

Quick Answer: What Colour Is Snake Poop?
What do snake feces look like?
Snakes will have a fur, teeth, nails, and bones in their feces.
It will be wet and soft.
Unlike a bird's droppings, snake poo will not have the look of a splatter.
Despite the significance of the white excrement, it can be very difficult to find and identify snake poo..
How often does a snake poop?
Poop consists of everything that couldn't, for whatever reason, be extracted. Rat snakes defecate approximately every two days; bush vipers defecate every 3-7 days. A good rule of thumb is that if a snake eats frequently, it will defecate frequently. If a snake eats infrequently, it will defecate infrequently.
Can you smell a snake?
The smells are often reminiscent of those of rotting animal carcasses. They generally depend on the specific variety of snake, however. Garter snakes (genus Thamnophis) emit odors that are overwhelmingly cloying. Rattlesnakes (genera Sistrurus and Crotalus) emit odors that are intensely musky and strong.
What snake smells like rotten eggs?
Snake musk can smell as bad as that of a skunk. Different snake species produce different smells. Most people describe snake musk as smelling like rotten eggs, or more generally, a really foul smell. The northern water snake, for example, is famed for having a particularly potent form of musk.
What color is a fart?
Originally Answered: Does a fart have a color? Yes. Smell can remind you of certain memories of other things. Some farts are definitely brown, while others are green, and few are yellow.
Can you smell a snake in your house?
Signs of Snakes in Your Home However, there are some signs you can look for around your house: … Slither tracks: If you're inspecting a dusty area or crawlspace, you might notice tracks that indicate where a snake has come by. Odor: A lot of snakes have a very distinctive smell.
Do snakes poop?
Snakes poop through their Cloaca, in less technical terms this is the bum, the poo. Since male and female snakes' sexual organs are internal, the poo and wee comes from the same area. As snakes digest their food whole, this takes much longer to breakdown with stomach acids. … And the uric acid which is the snake's urine.
What color is ball python poop?
A healthy ball python will produce feces that is light brown to black in color. If you are feeding rodents, you should expect to see some hair in the feces, since hair does not break down easily in the digestive tract.
Do snakes fart?
And Rabaiotti did find that fart answer for her brother: yes, snakes fart, too. Sonoran Coral Snakes that live across the Southwestern United States and Mexico use their farts as a defense mechanism, sucking air into their "butt" (it's actually called a cloaca) and then pushing it back out to keep predators away.
Why does snake poop smell so bad?
Some snakes have much smellier poop than others. A snake's poop can also smell worse than usual if it has a gut problem, such as an infection. Normally, you won't notice a smell until you open your snake's tank. You may also notice large whitish or yellowish lumps in your snake's enclosure.
Can snakes show love?
Snakes don't have the intellectual capacity to feel human emotions like love or affection. So no, they can't feel affection for you. They can, however, feel an affinity for you as a non-threatening creature that cares for it. … Snakes make amazing pets, even if they don't feel affection the same way humans do.
What animal Cannot fart?
How do snakes get pregnant?
A females cloaca is shallow. The first snake to successfully wrap his tail around the female and meet at the right point for intercourse to occur gets to mate. Male snakes have a pair of sex organs called hemipenis and these extend and release the sperm into the female snake.
How can you keep snakes away?
Home Remedies to Keep Snakes Away:Eliminate Food Supplies. Snakes are often found in areas where rodents are present as this is one of their primary food sources. … Eliminate Hiding Places. … Change Up Your Landscaping. … Use Natural Predators. … Smoke Them Out. … Utilize Natural Products.
Why does my snake keep pooping on me?
Some snakes do this to deter anyone from picking them up. My young Cal King for instance does the same thing (plus tail rattling). Just be mindful of when they last ate and keep handling them. If they poo on you then clean it up but don't put the snake back.

But if they heard the sound of the cave, they are not Yotzai. The same applies if one blows the Shofer inside a large barrel and similar things. If they heard the sound of the Shofer, they are Yotzai. But if they heard the sound of the pit, they are not Yotzai.
2. If one began blowing the Shofer inside a pit and got up outside the pit and completed it, they are Yotzai. Since whatever was heard inside and outside was the sound of the Shofer. [Also the ones originally standing inside the pit are Yotzai.]
3. If one heard part of the Shofer blast in a not valid way (M.B: like part before sunrise) and part of it in a valid way, or if he told the blower when he was in the middle of blowing, "have in mind to be Yotzai me", and when he blows, leaves over the minimum amount of time needed for a Shofer blast, he is not Yotzai. Some say that he is Yotzai if he heard the minimum length of time needed for a blast, in a valid way. [The same applies if he heard part of the Shofer blast and part of the sound of the pit; for example, if the blower was inside a pit and he was standing outside and in the middle of the blast, he went inside the pit.]

Curve Fitting Toolbox
Smoothing a Histogram
This example shows how to use spline commands from Curve Fitting Toolbox™ to smooth a histogram.
Here is a histogram of some random values that might represent data that were collected on some measurement.
y = randn(1,5001);
We would like to derive from this histogram a smoother approximation to the underlying distribution. We do this by constructing a spline function f whose average value over each bar interval equals the height of that bar.
If h is the height of one of these bars, and its left and right edges are at L and R, then we want the spline f to satisfy
 integral {f(x) : L < x < R}/(R - L) = h,
or, with F the indefinite integral of f, i.e., DF = f,
 F(R) - F(L) = h*(R - L).
[heights,centers] = hist(y);
hold on
ax = gca;
ax.XTickLabel = [];
n = length(centers);
w = centers(2)-centers(1);
t = linspace(centers(1)-w/2,centers(end)+w/2,n+1);
p = fix(n/2);
fill(t([p p p+1 p+1]),[0 heights([p p]),0],'w')
plot(centers([p p]),[0 heights(p)],'r:')
h = text(centers(p)-.2,heights(p)/2,' h');
dep = -70;
tL = text(t(p),dep,'L');
tR = text(t(p+1),dep,'R');
hold off
So, with n the number of bars, t(i) the left edge of the i-th bar, dt(i) its width, and h(i) its height, we want
 F(t(i+1)) - F(t(i)) = h(i) * dt(i), for i = 1:n,
or, setting arbitrarily F(t(1)) = 0,
 F(t(i)) = sum {h(j)*dt(j) : j=1:i-1}, for i = 1:n+1.
dt = diff(t);
Fvals = cumsum([0,heights.*dt]);
Add to this the two end conditions DF(t(1)) = 0 = DF(t(n+1)), and we have all the data we need to get F as a complete cubic spline interpolant.
F = spline(t, [0, Fvals, 0]);
The two extra zero values in the second argument indicate the zero endslope conditions.
Finally, the derivative, f = DF, of the spline F is the smoothed version of the histogram.
DF = fnder(F); % computes its first derivative
h.String = 'h(i)';
tL.String = 't(i)';
tR.String = 't(i+1)';
hold on
fnplt(DF, 'r', 2)
hold off
ylims = ylim;

The El Puente Green Light District (GLD) is a strategic ten-year initiative to sustain, grow, green, and celebrate Williamsburg's Southside community. At a time when communities across New York City are facing rapid changes that threaten to destabilize our neighborhoods, the Green Light District seeks to flip the disempowerment of gentrification and put the power of transformation in the hands of its residents and stakeholders. The Green Light District seeks to build equity and sustainability through connecting residents to each other, socially and culturally; sharing knowledge and resources across the neighborhood through partnerships, coalitions, and alliances; improving access to public resources; and building leadership in the community to carry our collective goals forward.
The broad vision of the Green Light District was developed by working closely with local community stakeholders and advisors, and was announced at the formal launch of the Green Light District on September 16, 2011. The Green Light District Community Declaration (Spanish) is more than just a vision, however; it is the conceptual outlining of the goals and objectives of the initiative, and the yardstick against which we measure our success. Each year, the GLD reports back to the community on progress toward those goals at the annual GLD Summit, the first of which was held in October 2012. There are five areas of focus of the Green Light District: Affordable Living, Arts & Culture, Education, Greening Spaces & Environmental Justice, and Health & Wellness.

Whipped Cream Structure
The structure of whipped cream is very similar to the fat and air structure that exists in ice cream. Cream is an emulsion with a fat content of 35-40%. When you whip a bowl of heavy cream, the agitation and the air bubbles that are added cause the fat globules to begin to partially coalesce in chains and clusters and adsorb to and spread around the air bubbles.
Diagram of whipped cream structureAs the fat partially coalesces, it causes one fat-stabilized air bubble to be linked to the next, and so on. The whipped cream soon starts to become stiff and dry appearing and takes on a smooth texture. This results from the formation of this partially coalesced fat structure stabilizing the air bubbles. The water, lactose and proteins are trapped in the spaces around the fat-stabilized air bubbles. The crystalline fat content is essential (hence whipping of cream is very temperature dependent) so that the fat globules partially coalesce into a 3-dimensional structure rather than fully coalesce into larger and larger globules that are not capable of structure-building. This is caused by the crystals within the globules that cause them to stick together into chains and clusters, but still retain the individual identity of the globules. Please see a further description of this process for details. If whipped cream is whipped too far, the fat will begin to churn and butter particles will form.

What is an FBI 302? The Problematic Nature of FBI Agents' Interview Memos
Writing correspondenceBy: Sara Kropf
Former FBI Director James Comey apparently wrote a memo summarizing his meeting with President Trump. The memo purportedly recounts the president's statement saying he "hoped" that Comey would drop the investigation into the ties between his campaign and the Russians.
There's nothing surprising about an FBI agent formalizing notes of a conversation. It's SOP. In any white-collar criminal investigation, FBI agents' notes of conversations with witnesses are often key evidence of a possible crime.
Let's take a closer look at how a witness interview gets memorialized into an interview memo or, in white-collar parlance, a "302."
The Witness Interview
An FBI agent named Amy Silver, with her partner Agent Stanley Starley, knocks on the door of the house of a witness in a criminal investigation one evening. We'll call the witness Jack McKinley. He's a supervisor at a pharmaceutical company, overseeing many sales reps who visit doctors. Mr. McKinley comes to the door. He's surprised to see them. After Agent Silver identifies herself and Starley, though, Mr. McKinley agrees to answer some questions for a few minutes.
"I have nothing to hide," he thinks. He doesn't have a lawyer there and it's too awkward to ask to get a notepad to take some notes himself.
They sit in his living room. Agent Silver asks questions about whether Mr. McKinley knew that anyone at his company was bribing doctors to get their Medicare business. Throughout the interview, Agent Starley takes handwritten notes of Mr. McKinley's answers. Two hours later, after the interview, the agents thank Mr. McKinley and leave. Mr. McKinley's not worried; he told the truth. He puts the interview behind him.
The agents' work is not done, though. Using his handwritten notes scribbled during the two-hour long interview, Starley takes his handwritten notes and types them up into an interview memo using FBI form FD-302. He may do this the next day or a month later.
Mr. McKinley never sees the 302 until two years later when he's confronted with it as he prepares to testify before a grand jury.
What is a 302?
FBI form FD-302 has space to list the name of the agents, the date of the interview, the name of the interviewee, the place of the interview and so forth. Then it allows the agent to draft a memo—in paragraph form—of what the witness said. It can be one page long or twenty pages long, depending on the length of the interview.
The memo section of a 302 is the key part. This is a combination of what the agent was able to write down during the interview and his recollection. It may list the questions and the answers or simply be a narrative of what the witness said.
The witness generally doesn't see the 302 or get a chance to correct any mistakes he thinks are in it before it is finalized.
What's the Problem?
As an associate at a big firm for many years, I wrote a lot of interview memos. It's never a perfect process. First of all, taking handwritten notes to capture a conversation is inherently difficult. People talk faster than anyone can write. If it's a complicated topic, such as accounting fraud dealing with complex GAAP rules, then it's nearly impossible to be completely accurate because you are simultaneously listening to the witness, trying to understand what he is saying and summarizing it by hand.
Second, relying in part on memory to draft an interview memo is equally troubling. Memory is a funny thing and not all that reliable. If you draft the memo the next day after the interview, then your memory may be passable. But wait a week or two and you are guaranteed to get something wrong or leave out something important. Using memory is a necessary evil when it comes to interview memos given that handwritten notes are not perfect.
Third, turning notes of an interview into a coherent summary is challenging. Verbal conversations often veer from topic to topic. That's just the nature of how we talk with each other. Witnesses meander during answers or don't answer the question directly. They don't understand the question or they answer a different question. There are tangents and diversions. The task is doubly onerous if the witness is deliberately evasive. Answers that made perfect sense at the time you wrote the notes turn incomprehensible when you draft the memo.
Fourth, there's no requirement that the FBI agent write down everything the witness says or that the agent take any notes at all. There's nothing to prevent the agent from stopping the note-taking if the witness says something helpful to the target of the investigation. Because it's nearly impossible to obtain the handwritten notes underlying a 302 during discovery, the FBI is not concerned that anyone can prove a conflict between the notes and the final 302 anyway.
How Does the Government Use 302s?
You may think that a 302 is simply an interview memo.
It's not. It's much more.
302s are a powerful tool for a prosecutor. Since the witness doesn't generally take notes during an interview, it's the only contemporaneous document capturing what was said. Plus, it's the "official" record of the interview. It's on a nice, official-looking form. The agent signs it, verifying its accuracy. Very credible stuff to a jury.
The time lapse between the interview and the use of the 302 works to the government's advantage as well. White-collar investigations take a while. When Mr. McKinley is called to testify before the grand jury a few years later, he won't remember what he said during the interview with any real clarity. The government can use the 302 to refresh his memory, whether the memo is 100% accurate or not.
As many other commentators have noted, an aggressive prosecutor can also use a 302 to intimidate a witness into cooperating by threatening a felony charge against the witness.
Going back to our example, let's say Mr. McKinley told the agents during his interview that his co-workers didn't bribe any doctors for Medicare business. But the agent writes down that Mr. McKinley said that his co-workers did bribe doctors. During the prep session with the government before his grand jury testimony, he tells the prosecutors that the co-workers never bribed anyone. They whip out the 302, showing him that, two years ago, he said that they did.
Mr. McKinley is now under incredible pressure to testify consistently with what was written in the 302 by Agent Starley, even if it is not correct. If he gives testimony different from what's written in the 302, then Mr. McKinley opens himself up to a felony charge either for lying during the grand jury testimony (perjury) or making a false statement to the agent during the original interview.
A witness who was not represented by counsel during the interview cannot effectively challenge the accuracy of the 302. It becomes a witness-said/agent-said situation. And who is the jury going to believe? Two clean-cut FBI agents who insist the 302 is an accurate summary of what the witness said, or the witness?
In other words, a witness can be effectively coerced into testifying not to the truth of what happened but the "truth" as it was captured by the handwritten notes of an FBI agent. As explained above, the witness notes may not be accurate for all sorts of innocent reasons. It also may not be accurate because an FBI agent has a strong interest in finding evidence of a crime.
The only silver lining to this whole situation is that 302s that capture exculpatory statements about the defendant must be disclosed under Brady, and the government must disclose 302s for testifying witnesses under the Jencks Act. 302s are a very effective discovery tool when they are disclosed to the defense after indictment. After a long investigation, you can finally learn what the witnesses said (or what the FBI agents heard).
This silver lining only benefits the defendant, not poor Mr. McKinley, who is still stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Why Doesn't the FBI Record Every Interview?
You may be wondering why the FBI doesn't simply record every interview, given all the issues I've described. That would fix the problem, right? No one could dispute what was asked or what the witness answered.
The reason is that the official DOJ policy is not to record witness interviews. A 2006 FBI memorandum explained that recording interviews would impede the FBI's ability to successfully question witnesses. (Why this is absurd is a topic for another day.)
In 2014, DOJ issued guidance creating a "presumption" that the FBI would record interviews of people in federal custody.
This is only a presumption and not a requirement. Plus, the policy doesn't cover most witnesses in white-collar cases (like our beleaguered Mr. McKinley) who are not in custody when they are questioned.
The same 2014 guidance "encourage[d] agents and prosecutors to consider electronic recording in investigative or other circumstances when the presumption does not apply." To this day, I've never seen an agent record an interview so it's safe to assume agents are not accepting the kind invitation to record the interviews.
Why would they? The system works just fine.
For the FBI.
 1. Very good and informative article, thanks for writing it. I just have one question, are you allowed to record the interview yourself? i.e. with an audio recording device, not just your own notes. I would assume any notes you took would also turn into a witness-said/agent-said situation. Also I would think it would be hard to prove that your notes

Harpago chiragra is the second largest of the Strombidae in the Marshalls, second only to Lambis truncata. It is common on both lagoon and seaward reefs, including the large flat-topped lagoon pinnacles. They are typically on sand or rubble, or sometimes on hard substrate. Adults are nearly always seen paired, with a large female accompanied by one, or rarely, a couple of smaller males. Like the large Lambis truncata, this species is protected (at least where divers from Kwajalein are concerned), although the initial protection recommendations from Fish & Wildlife and the Kwajalein Army regulations on the issue both misidentified it as Lambis scorpius, a very different and much smaller species. More comments about this under L. truncata. The individual in the first two photos below had unusually long and recurved "fingers."
The eyeballs peek out over the opeculum in this aperture view.
Juveniles have thin outer lips on the shell and lack the fingers.
Here the green proboscis bearing the mouth can be seen between the two eye stalks in this juvenile specimen.
As the fingers develop, they remain hollow for a while until they eventually fill in.
The specimen below was putting down an egg mass, seen as the whitish sandy area just to the right of the shell. Like some of the other Strombidae species, H. chiragra mixes up its eggs in a sand and mucus slurry the holds together while the eggs develop. What surprised me is that this female is still rather young, with fingers that have not completely filled out.
Here's another young one getting ready to flip.

[en] In this paper, we explore the behavior of optical polarization during the multi-wavelength outburst of the blazar Mrk 421 detected in February 2010. We use optical polarization measurements in the wavelength range 500–700 nm from SPOL observations available between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2010 (MJD 55197-55286) including the period of multi-wavelength flaring activity detected from the source around February 16–17, 2010 (MJD 55243-55244). We also use near simultaneous optical and radio flux measurements from SPOL in V and R bands and OVRO at 15 GHz respectively. We find that the emissions in the optical and radio bands do not show any significant change in the source activity unlike at X-ray and -ray energies during the outburst. The optical and radio flux measurements are found to be consistent with the long term quiescent state emission of the source. Moreover, the linear polarization in the wavelength range 500–700 nm decreases to a minimum value of 1.6 during the X-ray and -ray outburst which is significantly lower than the long term average value of . The angle of polarization varies between with a preferred average value of during this period. We estimate the degree of polarization intrinsic to the jet taking into account the host galaxy contamination in R band and compare this with the theoretical synchrotron polarization estimated for a power law distribution of relativistic electrons gyrating in an emission region filled with ordered and chaotic magnetic fields. The intrinsic linear polarization estimated for different epochs during the above period is found to be consistent with the theoretical synchrotron polarization produced by the relativistic electrons with power law spectral index . We find that the behavior of optical polarization possibly supports the two emission zone hypothesis for blazars in which X-ray and -rays are produced in one region whereas the optical emission takes place from another region permeated with ordered and chaotic magnetic fields. The decrease in linear polarization during the X-ray and -ray outburst can be attributed to the sudden dominance of chaotic magnetic field over the ordered field in the optical emission region in the relativistic jet of the blazar Mrk 421.

Can Financial worries impact the well-being of employees in the workplace?
This is exactly what CIPD's latest research on Financial well-being, in partnership with Close Brothers explores.
CIPD have been taking a strong lead on financial well-being, determining the business case for employers to take greater responsibility in supporting employees on their overall financial well-being as part of their wider wellness strategy. This subsequently has a positive impact on the workplace in particular productivity and performance.
b2b partnership supported CIPD in developing the partnership with Close Brothers. Close Brothers are strong advocates for financial well-being, championing well-being at work being fundamental to unlocking employee engagement, retention, recruitment and productivity. Given the strong alignment and focus between both organisations' objectives, b2b facilitated a partnership on the CIPD/Close Brothers Financial Well-being programme.
- Through this partnership CIPD and Close Brothers are looking to support employers role and influence within organisations by educating their employees, understanding that financial well-being presents different challenges to all employers across all pay scales.

THE LOST PALM WEAVERS OF SONORA
Join the search in for the descendants of Opata palm weavers and explore the surviving tradition.
The Opatas were probably the largest aboriginal group in what is now Sonora, Mexico but by the 1950s anthropologists could not locate a single speaker of the native language. While the people may be extinct, the Opatas left behind numerous traditions. Join the search in Buena Vista, Sonora for the descendants of Opata palm weavers and explore the tradition of native palm weaving that has survived through the centuries. The women still weave in "hookies" - small underground cellars that provide the cool and humid climate needed to maintain the elasticity of the palms for weaving.

New Jersey has a code of laws that hold employers to a high standard for a variety of employment matters. One such matter is how employees are paid. New Jersey State law says that all employers should provide payment to their employees at least two times each month. The employer is required to pay all employees in full on each pay day. They are authorized to do so with direct deposit into a legitimate bank account, in the form of a valid check, or in cash. Please note that there are certain classifications for which an employer can pay an employee less than two times each month. This is the case for employees that are executives, supervisors, or other special classifications. However, even these employees must be paid at least once each calendar month.
There must be a maximum of a 10 business day period between the end of the pay period and the date that payment is actually issued. If the payday falls on a weekend or a day in which the person does not work, they must be compensated the previous day.
In the unfortunate event that an employee becomes deceased but has not been compensated for time worked prior to death, the employer must pay the remainder of those wages to the surviving spouse. If the person was unmarried, the payment goes to the following, in this order: adult children over age 18, surviving parents, surviving siblings, or the person who is paying the funeral expenses.

German Student Corps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
German Corps Students value their engagements in academic "Mensur" fencing, here an example in a forest near Tübingen by Gustav Adolf Closs, 1890
Emergence of Corps in Europe
Corps (or Korps; "das ~" (n), German pronunciation: [ˈkoːɐ] (sg.), [ˈkoːɐs] (pl.)) are the oldest still-existing kind of Studentenverbindung, Germany's traditional university corporations; their roots date back to the 15th century. The oldest corps still existing today was founded in 1789. Its members are referred to as corps students (Corpsstudenten). The corps belong to the tradition of student fraternities which wear couleur and practice academic fencing.
The corps are organized in two federations, the Kösener Senioren-Convents-Verband (KSCV) and the Weinheimer Senioren-Convent (WSC). Together, they comprise 162 Corps throughout Germany, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary, Switzerland and Lithuania.
The German Student Corps were traditionally recruited from the nobility, royalty and social elite, and are traditionally viewed as more aristocratic and elitist than other German student fraternities such as the Catholic Cartellverband and the Burschenschaften. They consider tolerance and individuality to be key tenets and are rooted in German idealism. By and large, they are generally conservative in political outlook, but less right-wing and less nationalist than the Burschenschaften. The corps are open to students of all nationalities and religions, unlike many other student fraternities. Although distinct, the corps are in some aspects similar to and serve many of the same purposes of college fraternities found in the United States.
Corps are built upon the principle of tolerance: No corps may endorse a certain political, scientific or religious viewpoint. In addition, all members are solely chosen by their personal character. Neither national, ethnic or social provenance play a role.
Corpsstudenten (corps students) wear couleur (colored stripes and caps) and practice Mensuren, academic fencing with razor-sharp blades that can result in bleeding face wounds, Schmisse. The corps usually bear names that reflect their former origin from certain German regions, such as Saxonia (Saxony) or Guestphalia (Westphalia). Formerly, when a distance of a few hundred kilometres between a student's home town and his university meant weeks of travel, students from the same part of Germany traveled together and formed some kind of "new family". The distance, plus the fact that they carried the money for a complete semester with them in a bag, might also explain why students began fencing, simply for self-defense, for students, military officers and aristocrats were the only people allowed to carry arms.
Like all Studentenverbindungen, corps consist of two bodies: The active part consists of all members, that still study and have duties for the fraternity, and the so-called Altherrenschaft (alumni organization), comprising all those who graduated and thus provide the bear share of the monetary stimulus for the fraternity. A fundamental idea is that older students should help their younger fellows, and this principle dominates the relationship between the two bodies. The former keeps the everyday business of the corps alive, organizes gatherings, keeps the Corpshaus (Corps House) in order. The Altherrenschaft, graduates with regular incomes, provide financial support. This usually means quite cheap housing for the younger members among other things. The Altherrenschaft has the power to intervene in the business of the active members, typically to ensure the principles and spirit of their corps.
The active body is headed by a panel of three Chargierte (charged persons), who are elected by all active, full members at the beginning of each semester (or at the end of the former one). Their functions are called Senior, Consenior and Drittchargierter (meaning third charged person, also named Subsenior in some corps).:
 - The Senior is responsible for all corps affairs in general, but leading and heading gatherings and events in special; he supplements his signature with a single cross (x) (in some corps with three crosses (xxx)) as an external sign of his duties.
 - The Consenior teaches fencing to all members of the inner corps and assures the execution of the Mensuren in coordination with the Conseniors of other corps; his signature is enhanced by two crosses (xx).
 - The Drittchargierter (also known as Sekretär, Secretary) has administrative tasks like paperwork and often the task of a treasurer; his sign is three crosses (xxx) (in some corps one cross (x)).
Being the oldest of their kind, the corps tend to treat all other forms of German Studentenverbindungen with contempt; corps despise all posturing and affectation (e.g. the overly use of Latinisms) that other kinds of Studentenverbindungen, esp. Catholic corporations and Burschenschaften show. This does not mean that they consider other corporations as natural-born enemies. This might happen occasionally, but also vice versa.
Even with the principle of tolerance being a central aspect in each corps' self-image, every corps student is urged to develop his own viewpoints, to stand for them and to strongly participate in society, whether in politics, economy or social affairs. This encouragement for ethical and self-confident behaviour on one side, and the absence of a limitation to certain views on the other, let Corps students often show up as the leading figures of the most diverse political directions. The emphasis on individuality brought many corps students in opposition to totalitarian regimes, such as the National Socialist dictatorship.
The Weinheimer Student Corps also maintain a confederation with Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, a college Fraternity with over 270 chapters in the United States and Canada.
The Corps sprang from the older Landsmannschaft. The name Corps came into use in 1810 at the University of Heidelberg and soon displaced the older name of Landsmannschaft at all the universities. The oldest still active Corps are the 1789 founded Guestphalia at the University of Halle, the 1798 founded Onoldia at the University of Erlangen who are both members of the KSCV and as a member of the WSC the Saxo-Montania founded also 1798 at the Bergakademie Freiberg today at the RWTH Aachen University. After the Carlsbad Decrees 1819 the Corps were exposed to harsh persecution by university and state officials just like their rivals as at the universities in Germany the Burschenschaften. After 1848, they were officially approved.[1]

Self-controlled feedback is effective if it is based on the learnerâ€™s performance: a replication and extension of Chiviacowsky and Wulf (2005)
- Additional Document Info
- View All
The learning advantages of self-controlled feedback schedules compared to yoked schedules have been attributed to motivational influences and/or information processing activities with many researchers adopting the motivational perspective in recent years. Chiviacowsky and Wulf (2005) found that feedback decisions made before (Self-Before) or after a trial (Self-After) resulted in similar retention performance, but superior transfer performance resulted when the decision to receive feedback occurred after a trial. They suggested that the superior skill transfer of the Self-After group likely emerged from information processing activities such as error estimation. However, the lack of yoked groups and a measure of error estimation in their experimental design prevents conclusions being made regarding the underlying mechanisms of why self-controlled feedback schedules optimize learning. Here, we revisited Chiviacowsky and Wulf's (2005) design to investigate the learning benefits of self-controlled feedback schedules. We replicated their Self-Before and Self-After groups, but added a Self-Both group that was able to request feedback before a trial, but could then change or stay with their original choice after the trial. Importantly, yoked groups were included for the three self-controlled groups to address the previously stated methodological limitation and error estimations were included to examine whether self-controlling feedback facilitates a more accurate error detection and correction mechanism. The Self-After and Self-Before groups demonstrated similar accuracy in physical performance and error estimation scores in retention and transfer, and both groups were significantly more accurate than the Self-Before group and their respective Yoked groups (p's < 0.05). Further, the Self-Before group was not significantly different from their yoked counterparts (p's > 0.05). We suggest these findings further indicate that informational factors associated with the processing of feedback for the development of one's error detection and correction mechanism, rather than motivational processes are more critical for why self-controlled feedback schedules optimize motor learning.

AMATEUR WORKSHOP #6, A PERVERTS GUIDE TO DESIGN, BROEHAN MUSEUM, GERMANY, 2016
Amateur Workshop #6 A Perverts Guide to Design
Following the series of Amateur Workshops by Jerszy Seymour, that explores the possibility of an 'Amateur' society (meaning lover, appassionato and non-professional as a way of being) and uses polycapralactone wax both as a libidinal construction material and as a metaphor for connecting things, people and ideas. The Amateur Workshop is a non-utopian way of discussing utopia.
Amateur Workshop #6 A Perverts Guide to Design is set in a blue screen back drop that could be seen as the void or the place to project desires. It is filled with synthetically made raw materials as an explosion of proto tools (like the cambrian explosion of life forms), made from rough cut industrial chipboard painted in a multi-coloured splattered finish as a mediatic surface.
If in pre-history, man's first use of an object as a tool not made to be a tool, such as a stone a bone or a stick, could be seen as the invention of the concept of subjugation and slavery made possible through the human hand, Amateur Workshop #6 A Perverts Guide to Design positions the whole history of design as a form of perversion and as a reaction to dealing with the awareness of our mortality. The awareness of mortality is what sparks our primordial emotional conflict and subsequently the use of tools and representation to deal with this conflict. To pre-historic man, the awareness of mortality and the relationship to death and the animal where quite direct. Man feared death which other than by natural causes came by the animal in the dark night. He also felt guilt of death as he saw the animal, who was not aware of mortality, as more divine than himself but would kill the animal for sustinence. Finally he felt joy of death because by killing the animal he was in control of death.
Today we have drones, few people kill their own animals to eat, but the emotional conflict continues, if so in a much more symbolic form. Amateur Workshop #6 A Perverts Guide to Design exists to position us in the middle of the conflict, to consume or to make, to kill or to watch, to use our hands or simply do nothing. The wax is available for all to construct their desires.

Hulk (ship type)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Receiving ship)
Jump to: navigation, search
For the early European coastal craft, see Hulk (medieval ship type).
Not to be confused with scow or barge.
A hulk moored in Toulon harbour.
More recently, ships have been hulked when they become obsolete or when they become uneconomical to operate.
Sheer hulk[edit]
Sheer hulk at Sheerness Dockyard positioned to make a lift
A sheer hulk (or shear hulk) was used in shipbuilding and repair as a floating crane in the days of sailing ships, primarily to place the lower masts of a ship under construction or repair. Booms known as sheers were attached to the base of a hulk's lower masts or beam, supported from the top of those masts. Blocks & tackle were then used in such tasks as placing or removing the lower masts of vessel under construction or repair.
These lower masts were the largest and most massive single timbers aboard a ship, and erecting them without the assistance of either a sheer hulk or land-based masting sheer was extremely difficult.
Accommodation hulk[edit]
Main article: Barracks ship
French ship Mars, barracks for marines
Receiving hulk[edit]
A receiving ship is a ship that is used in harbor to house newly recruited sailors before they are assigned to a ship's crew.[1]
Receiving ships often served as floating hospitals as many were assigned in locations without shore-based station hospitals. Often the afloat surgeon would take up station on the receiving ship.[citation needed]
Prison hulk[edit]
Main article: Prison ship
Powder hulk[edit]
Salvage pontoon[edit]
Floating storage and offloading units[edit]
Coal hulks[edit]
Service as a coal hulk was usually, but not always, a ship's last.
Other services[edit]
Her front line days over, HMS Temeraire served as a prison hulk, receiving ship, victualing depot, and finally a guard ship before being paid off and sold to the breakers.
A vessel's hulking may not be its final use. Scuttling as a blockship, breakwater, artificial reef, or recreational dive site may await. Some are repurposed, for example as a gambling ship; others are restored and put to new uses, such as a museum ship. Some even return revitalized to sea.
One vessel rescued from this ignominious end was the barque Polly Woodside, now a museum ship in Melbourne, Australia. Another is the James Craig, rescued from Recherche Bay in Tasmania, now restored and regularly sailing from Sydney, Australia.

** In Catalan there is a little bit of confusion about this term.
Most people call it "arrova" or "rova" (the two "a" are pronounced
like cupbOArd or mothEr; the "rr" is rolled; and the "v" is pronounced
like a soft English "b") because this symbol corresponds to a unit of
measure. Maybe it is because ot the influence of Spanish. I actually
work in a newspaper and we use the term "arrova". However, I was quite
surprised to know that the linguists of one of the main Catalan radio
stations suggest speakers should say "at".

** In Slovak, the '' sign is called _zavinac_, 'rollmops'. (The
second _a_ has a grave accent. The _c_ has a hacek accent.)
 I first heard this usage some 15 years ago. Since I am not
familiar with any standard pronunciation transcription scheme, I'll
give you an English approximation:
 z as z in zoom
 a as o in mother
 v as v in view
 i as i in hit
 n as n in net
 a+grave as a in past
 c+hacek as ch in check
The initial '_za_' is stressed.
Cyril Belica <>
** In Czech, the sign is colloquially called zavin\'a\v{c} (LaTeX
diacritics), according to my Czech-English dictionary 'collared
herring', 'rollmop'. The spelling is more or less phonetic, with the
accented "a" long, the "c" with caron as "ch" in "chocolate" and the
stress on the first syllable.
 From a second communication: The Czech colloquial term for
'commercial at' (the official term is just a calque of the English
one) is spelled "zavinac", with an acute accent (') on the second "a"
and a hacek (a little "v") on the top of "c".

** In Danish, 'grisehale' 'pig's tail' is occasionally heard, but the
received reading is'snabel-a', i.e. 'trunk a', that is 'an a with an
elephant's trunk attached'. That's a nice one, isn't it? I have also
heard the expression'master space' which seems to go back to some
arcane terminology of some operating system for some vintage IBM
mainframe computer.
Hartmut Haberland <>
** In Danish the -character is called:'snabel-a'; "(elephants)
Soren Harder <>
** In Danish, the is called and spelled: "snabel a". A "snabel"
means the trunk of an elephant, and the "a" is just the letter a. I'm
not sure how to explain the pronunciation, but it is close to English
except for the "a" which is both shorter and flatter and it doesn't
have the diphthong sound /ai/. I have probably known the term for
about 10-12 years. (I am Danish though currently studying in Germany.)
Mette Kreutzmann <>
** As far as I know there are two ways of referring to in Danish;
it's either called _alfa(-tegn)_ which is _alpha(-sign)_ in English,
or _snabel_ which is proboscis/elephant's trunk in English.
 I think they are used in 'two different areas': I say
alfa-tegn to people who (I think) are new to e-mailing, but _snabel_
to everybody else.
Christian Heyde Petersen <>
** In Danish is called "snabel-a", which translates as "trunk-a", an
elephant's trunk i.e., not the trunk of a tree.
Ole Ravnholt <>
** The sign is called _snabel-a_ 'trunk a' in Danish. The
designation refers to the likeness of a elephant's trunk combined with
the letter a. Elephants and mice usually don't get mixed up
cross-linguistically, so this case perhaps calls for a paper
countering some version of universal grammar?
Soeren Wichmann <>
** In Dutch, we call 'at' (as in English), but also 'apestaartje'
'monkey-tail-DIMINUTIVE' (the diminutive is very productive in Dutch,
but it is optional, so 'apestaart' works as well)....
Louise Cornelis <>
** In Dutch it is sometimes referred to as "apestaart", which means
"tail of a monkey". I have no idea how frequently this term is used.
Peter De Bie <>
** In Dutch, the -symbol is usually referred to as "apestaart" (lit.
"monkey's tail": "ap" (with a long /a/; from: "aap") meaning "monkey",
"staart" meaning "tail", and "e" (a shwa) being a linking morpheme.
 I am not sure about the etymology of this word, but I think
the fact that the letter "a" can be recognized in the sign plays a
role in the word's origin: something like "a met staart" ("a with
tail") could have devellopped to "apestaart", which is phonologically
close tot it.
 I do not know of other ways in Dutch tot refer to this symbol:
as far as I know, "apestaart" is by far the most common name for it,
if not the only one. I think I first heard it being used some eight
years ago.
Bart Diels <>
** A nice name for in Dutch is "apestaart" (or the diminutive
"apestaartje"), meaning 'monkey tail'. It is especially nice that the
name starts with an "a", and looks very much like a monkey tail: it
makes it very mnemonic.
 Another is "a-krol" or "a-krul", meaning 'a-(with-a-)curl'.
 ("a" and "aa" are pronounced in both cases like "aa" in the
German "Saar" or "Staat". The "e" is pronounced as a schwa, and the
stress in the first word is on the first syllable. The stress in the
second name is on the second syllable (a rather unusually stressed
word). krul is pronounced /kryl/.)
Frederik Fouvry <>
** The Dutch have an original and funny name for the ""sign: it is
referred to as "apestaartje", which means "a monkey's tail". The
reason is obviously to be found in the form of the symbol, and perhaps
also because "apestaartje" also starts with the letter "A".
 As far as I know, the Dutch term has existed for quite a long
time, possibly since the symbol appeared on the computer keyboard.
Herman Kappen <>
** In Dutch the at-symbol is usually referred to as "apestaart",
meaning 'monkey's tail'.
Olaf N. Koeneman <>
** In Dutch '' is called 'apestaart', i.e. 'monkey's tail'
Jan Odijk <>
** In Dutch, "" is often called "apestaartje", i.e. "little tail of a
Erik Oltmans <>
** In Dutch it is called "apestaart" ("monkey's tail") or (diminutive)
"apestaartje" ("[little[monkey's tail]]". The first form mostly is
used bare, like when telling somebody your email address: "My address
is piest "apestaart"". The second form is used on
other occasions; because it's a diminutive it's more fitting than
"apestaart" there (pointing at the sign and saying it's an "apestaart"
would more or less imply it's bigger than usual).
 Pronuncation: something like "ApstArt", "ApstArtj" (A =
long a, = schwa). N.B. I'm not sure whether this names will be used
in the future or not: the Dutch generally don't seem to mind lending
some words from English, and since more and more people are getting
acquainted with the Internet over here the symbol is more and more
frequently just called "at", like in English including English
pronuncation ). But I'm quite sure no one would have called it
that as far back as 1989: I remember having had a discussion about it
with some friends, and no one

According to astrophysics, dynamical friction or Chandrashekhar friction or gravitational drag is defined as the loss of momentum and kinetic energy of any moving body through gravitational interactions with matter present in space. The effect of gravity causes the lighter bodies to accelerate and gain momentum much similar to how a slingshot works but by the laws of conservation of energy and momentum the heavier celestial body will be slowed down by the exact same amount to compensate the change in momentum. Considering the extreme difference in size between the two bodies this loss of momentum is negligible to the giant celestial mass. The greater the density of the surrounding mass, the stronger the force from dynamical friction. Dynamical friction is particularly important in the formation of planetary systems and interactions between galaxies. This effect was first discussed in detail by Subrahmanyan Chandrashekhar in 1943.

The DataPortal Query module allows querying of data in a Composable DataPortal using Entity SQL. It takes a DataPortal ID, an SQL query, and a list of objects as parameters and returns a Composable Table.
See below for a complete discussion of inputs and options.
The following example DataFlow demonstrates many of the possible ways to use the DataPortal Query module. This DataFlow uses the DataPortal Query sample DataPortal model, which creates a DataPortal called
DataPortalQuery by default. WARNING: this DataFlow deletes all existing data in the DataPortal, so only run it against a test DataPortal. You can change the name in the Excel file if you already have a
DataPortalQuery DataPortal, just be sure to select the right DataPortal when configuring the DataFlow.
Adding New Data
This DataFlow uses the DataPortal Sync module to add entries to the DataPortal we can query from. These will create 5 entries, each having two FamilyHistoryEntries.
Querying Data Using Entity SQL
To ensure the proper types are returned if the query produces no data, it is usually best practice to not use the VALUE keyword. The module will provide a warning if the user attempts to use it and no data is returned. The recommended way of returning all data from a table is as shown below:
There is no '*' selector in Entity SQL. If you want all the rows to be returned in a query you must manually specify them. For a full list of the differences between Transactional SQL queries and Entity SQL queries refer to the official documentation.
The output of the DataPortal Query module is a Composable Table. If the object is a one-to-one relationship such as Double, the value will simply be returned as it exists in the database. If the object is a one-to-many relationship in the case of FamHistoryEntries which is a Table, an error will be thrown. To reference these write a SQL query like the one shown here that joins the tables:
This is the Id for the DataPortal you wish to query. Simply click on it and select the DataPortal from the list that appears.
This is the SQL query you wish to execute on the DataPortal. Specific formatting can be found in the example.
This takes in a list of KeyValuePairs of type
Cases AS c
FamilyHistories AS h
ON c.Id = h.CaseId
WHERE h.HasFamilyHistory = _USER_

International Water Week Amsterdam: Call for papers now open!
The Amsterdam International Water Week invites you to submit your papers for the International Water Week Conference: Integrated Water Solutions for a Green Economy
In 2050 more than 70% of the world population will be concentrated in cities, most of which will be located in low-lying deltas. Fast-growing cities face a wide range of challenges and opportunities in their transition towards sustainability and resilience against extreme events. Moving towards a green economy, a number of key issues need to be addressed such as providing fresh water supplies and sanitation of high quality, accessing affordable raw materials and energy sources, and adapting to the impacts of climate change.
Amsterdam International Water Week (AIWW) has been initiated to devise integrated solutions to enable life in delta cities. The conference is unique because it crosses the boundaries between water management and coastal management, drinking water and agriculture, energy and water supply, as well as spatial planning and waste water.
We invite you to submit your paper (by May 15th, 2013) to share your Integrated Solutions for a Green Economy with international water professionals. For information please visit _URL_

Made in Sweden: 20th-Century Design
Through May 31
From the exhibition text….
Between the wars, Swedish glass came to be recognized for it elegance and sophistication. Examples here include the blue vase by Simon Gate made at Orrefors in the 193Os. Stig Lindberg's nesting, oven-proof "Gefyr" bowls exemplify the simplicity and practicality that was emphasized for everyday use. Sven Palmqvist is represented by his "Fuga," "Colora," and "Revenna" series; "Ravenna" was inspired by medieval Italian stained-glass windows.
Soon after the war, plastic gained in prominence as a new and attractive material for everyday utensils. The porcelain factory of Gustavsberg was among the pioneers in producing the material on a large scale. Plastic soon replaced Bakelite for telephones and opened the way to new designs such as the "Ericophone," which was popularly known as the "Cobra."
