Published 5:54 pm Sunday, March 10, 2019
WINDSOR – It was billed as a 'Star Party', but Mother Nature didn't quite cooperate.
A trio of science-oriented groups: A Time for Science (ATFS), North Carolina Land of Water (NC LOW), and the Coastal Studies Institute (CSI) partnered to host the event Thursday evening at the Bertie County Middle School Gymnasium.
The group receives funding from several sources, including Bertie County and the Town of Windsor.
Outdoors, the youngsters were going to view the panorama of the skies – best seen during the phase of a new moon – but beginning around evening time (6:30 p.m.), cloud-cover began forming across the southern part of the county, and only thickened as the night wore on.
Undaunted, ATFS had brought along a mobile Planetarium for star-gazing; and while it didn't take the place of looking at the actual moon, nor The Milky Way, Orion, or Cereus Major, it did provide the youngsters and their parents with an education on the wonders of the night-time.
"This free event is an excellent opportunity for the public to engage with the nocturnal environment in a new way with expert guidance and observational resources," commented retired East Carolina University research professor, Dr. Stanley Riggs, one of the night's organizers.
"We've been doing these teacher-science education workshops all year," said Riggs. "It's part of bringing science to the students and to teach everyone what's in your own back yard in the earth, the water, and the skies. We deal with landscapes, waterscapes, and skyscapes."
Science teachers from Bertie County elementary schools and Bertie Middle School were on hand with the students, and were glad it was an evening that emphasized STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
"The greatest thing for these kids is the exposure," said Cheryl Jefferson, a Science, Reading, and Social Studies teacher at West Bertie Elementary. "It's also showing them that they have options in STEM professions; since kids these days want jobs where they can be successful and make money. STEM is trending nowadays and they are learning that we would all be lost without it."
Riggs said the skies of northeastern North Carolina from the Roanoke River to the coast are the darkest on the eastern United States coast between Boston and Miami.
"There's not a whole lot of night sky left in the world because we have lights everywhere," he observed. "One part of this is educating people about 'light pollution', and how we can keep our dark skies."
Ashley Bradley, an 8th grade Science teacher at Bertie Middle School, said expanding her students' perspective is very important nowadays.
"The goal of these exhibits is to teach kids to expand their knowledge in some of the under-represented areas of science," she explained. "We want to also make them aware of other sciences."
One of the evening's most popular presentations, especially in lieu of no outdoor star-gazing, was the indoor, interactive planetarium with showings led by astronomer Brian Baker every half hour.
Baker studied astrophysics at Florida State University and has been teaching people of all ages about the wonders of the night sky for 11 years. He's currently the astronomy and space science director at ATFS in Greenville. He says the group travels for outreach events within the area, making a Star Party a rare treat for the Bertie County public.
"The Star Party is usually held during a new moon, which is the optimal time to observe the night sky," Baker said. "Unfortunately, tonight, we couldn't. Students will see the stars like they've never seen them before."
Mike Littleton, one of the members of the Coastal Studies Institute and a retired physicist and astronomer brought along several telescopes, and one other vital item for observing the night sky.
"A pair of binoculars," he joked, holding them aloft. "If you ever tire of looking at stars, moons, and constellations, you can always use them for bird-watching. But, seriously, they're a great and inexpensive nighttime tool."
"Folks can use our telescopes or even bring their own to receive guidance on how to use them, which can sometimes be intimidating," he noted.
Other children's activities and exhibits included making a Star Wheel, a paper device the children could take home and later use to observe the cosmos and read the night skies when the clouds are more cooperative.
"I never taught high school, or elementary school for that matter," conceded Riggs. "But this is all a part of what eastern North Carolina needs. We have such a wealth of natural and cultural resources here and we need to learn how to understand them, and then use them creatively to produce jobs. Ecotourism is a future that can hopefully make Bertie County so much richer and so much better."

What does this mean?
If you are seeing answer labels in your interview, with no text where a question would normally be, this can mean one of two things:
 - you have created a question point with labelled answer points but have forgotten to enter any text in the question body, or
 - a reference question you have created has 'broken'.
In this article we will walk you through the exact steps to follow when a reference question has broken.
Find out which reference question is broken
When you know exactly which reference question is broken, you can consider half your problem as solved!
How to check which reference question is breaking:
 - Go through your interview and try to notice which questions are placed before and after the broken reference question. You will be able to tell from the interview if this question is inside a pack reference or on the main path.
 - By now you would have gotten a rough idea where your broken reference question is. To make sure, jump into the editor and locate the reference questions that have exactly the same answer labels as the one you are seeing in the interview.
 - Type in some obvious text e.g. 'TEST1', 'TEST2' etc into the body of the reference questions you have identified.
 - Now go back and refresh the interview by right clicking and selecting 'Reload frame' and check if the text e.g. 'TEST1' comes up on the interview screen. Keep trying till you see this text on the interview screen.
 - Once you have located your broken it's a good idea to go into the editor and rename the label to something obvious so that you can easily find your broken reference question when you need to.
How to fix this issue
Here are some checks you can run on your reference question to pinpoint what the problem is, once you know what the problem is, it's almost always an easy fix:
 - Make sure that your answer points in the reference question are exactly the same as the answer points in the question you are referencing. This includes spaces and letter case.
 - Check that you have referenced the correct question, the image below shows where you can check this.
 - Make sure that you have assigned unique labels to all your questions (so that you are sure you are referencing the correct question.
 - Check that the reference question passes through the branch that the question that is being referenced is on.
With a bit of simple investigating you will find it easy to fix your broken reference question!

The Aurora Collection returns to the Natural History Museum
A world-class collection of 296 naturally coloured diamonds has been loaned to the Natural History Museum by diamond collectors Alan Bronstein and Harry Rodman. The Aurora Collection comprises 267.45 carats of exceptionally rare stones, from the 12 colour varieties, and reveals an enchanting spectrum from emerald green to blood red.
'Gems like these were not meant to be imprisoned in a dark vault for the momentary pleasure of a few eyes,' said Alan Bronstein, co-owner of the Aurora Collection. 'The true value of a collection is sharing it with as many people who are interested to experience nature's diversity of expression. It's thrilling to think that the collection will be seen by the 3.6 million visitors that come to the Natural History Museum each year.'
Coloured, so called 'fancy', diamonds have become more desirable than ever. Coloured stones were recently worn by actresses Halle Berry and Scarlett Johansson. Fancy diamonds are very rare: only one in every 10,000 gem-quality diamonds is coloured. The colour in diamonds results from tiny amounts of elements other than carbon, or from atomic scale defects, in the diamond structure.
'Each coloured diamond tells its own story, giving us insight not only into its formation but also to the deep earth processes that took place when the gem was formed,' said Alan Hart, Curator of Minerals at the Natural History Museum. 'For example, yellow diamonds are due to the presence of nitrogen in the structure and green diamonds owe their colour to natural radiation damage, It's an amazing opportunity to be able to display this unique collection of exceptionally rare gems at the Museum.'
The Aurora Collection was displayed for the first time in Europe in 2005 as part of the Natural History Museum's Diamonds exhibition. This stunning collection of diamonds is now on display at the end of the Museum's Minerals and Meteorites gallery. The display highlights a little-known property shared by coloured and white diamonds - some of them glow and change colour when exposed to ultra-violet light.
The Natural History Museum has secured £150,000 of funding, from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)/ Wolfson Museums and Galleries Improvement Fund, to transform the space that contains the Aurora collection into a dazzling gem gallery. Redevelopment plans are currently being made and the gallery is set to be finished in December 2007.
Notes for editors
Winner of the 2006 Independent award for the UK's favourite museum, gallery or heritage attraction at the Museum and Heritage Awards for Excellence, the Natural History Museum is also a world-leading science research centre. Through its collections and scientific expertise, the Museum is helping to conserve the extraordinary richness and diversity of the natural world with groundbreaking projects in 68 countries.

Sparse Approximate Inverses in a Finite Element Framework
My thesis describes a method for constructing sparse approximate inverses (SPAI) of blocks of matrices arising in the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs), discretized using the finite element method (FEM). The matrices have a 2 by 2 block form, which in this case is obtained via refinement of the discretization mesh and classification of the nodes as coarse and fine. The SPAI matrix is assembled from small matrices, obtained by manipulation of the local stiffness matrices; a procedure that is fully parallelizable.
The framework can be used recursively on a sequence of meshes and is suitable for constructing of algebraic Multi-Level preconditioners of block-multiplicative type.
As an illustration, numerical results of using this method to solve the Poisson problem are presented, both serial and parallel. The serial test results show that this preconditioning method is robust with respect to problem size and to discontinuity of the coefficients of the PDEs, when the areas corresponding to different coefficients are aligned with the coarse mesh. The method is not fully robust to anisotropy. Parallel tests show that the performance of the method is independent of the number of processors used to solve the problem, and that the method is highly scalable with excellent parallelization properties.

The spindle is a very important part of the CNC machine, the quality and speed of the spindle will affect the cutting effect. When we buy machines, we often face the problem of not knowing whether to choose an air-cooled spindle or a water-cooled spindle. Let's discuss the difference between the two spindles below.
1. As the name suggests, the water-cooled spindle motor uses water circulation to cool the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the spindle. This method will work well because the temperature after circulation will not exceed 40 degrees. The air-cooled spindle motor uses a fan to dissipate heat, and its effect is definitely not as good as water cooling.
2. Noise. Water-cooled spindle motors are basically silent, but air-cooled spindle motors are loud.
3. In terms of service life. Because the water-cooled spindle motor needs to pay attention to maintenance, change the water frequently or use an industrial water cooler, its service life is much longer than that of the air-cooled spindle motor.
4. Accuracy. The axial and radial runout of the water-cooled spindle motor is basically below 0.003 mm, which is far behind the air-cooled spindle motor (made in China)!
5. Ease of use. Since the water-cooled spindle needs to be connected to a water pump, a bucket is needed to hold water, and a water pipe needs to be connected. Especially in the cold winter in the north, it is easier to freeze, and some customers may find it more troublesome; but the air-cooled spindle will not be so many usage issues.

Courtesy: National Museums Liverpool
By James Dacey
This unremarkable piece of paper belongs to a chapter in one of the most extraordinary lives of the 20th century.
It is the recently discovered landing card issued to Albert Einstein in 1933 when he arrived in Britain after fleeing Nazi Germany.
On Tuesday the card went on public display for the first time at the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool, having been stored away for nearly 80 years at Heathrow Airport.
"We were keen on acquiring any documents relating to immigration but were stunned to find paperwork relating to such a prominent historical figure as Albert Einstein," Lucy Gardner, curator of the exhibition about customs and immigration.
The document brings proof that Einstein arrived in Dover on 26 May 1933 after sailing from Ostende in Belgium. The "professor" states that he was heading for Oxford, a city he had visited previously during stays at Christ Church College.
Einstein lists his nationality as Swiss having renounced his German citizenship only weeks earlier in angry reaction to Nazi policies. In April 1933 Hitler's party had passed a law barring Jews from holding any official positions, including teaching at universities. And during a visiting professorship at the California Institute of Technology, Einstein – who was Jewish by birth – had learned that his name had been added to a list of Nazi assassination targets.
Upon his return to Europe Einstein resided in Belgium for a brief time before sailing to Britain. Shortly afterwards, Einstein took up his position at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton an affiliation that lasted until his death in 1955.
"This tiny piece of paper brings to life Einstein's escape from the Nazis to England," said Gardner.

Bronx Adolescent Skills Center Sit-In
Until very recently, the students of the Bronx Adolescent Skills Center (ASC) TASC Program were taught math by a phenomenal teacher. This teacher sadly had to go on medical leave early in 2017, which left them feeling hopeless. The students went from learning math in a fun and interactive way, to being sat in front of a computer to learn math independently. The week of March 26, 2017, the students decided that they were not going to simply take what was given to them. They decided to express their frustrations as a united group and protest in hopes of getting a new math teacher.
For months, the students have learned about civil rights and peaceful protests. Our staff at the Bronx Adolescent Skills Center encourage the youth of the center to advocate for themselves, especially when that advocacy is related to their mental health challenges and the types of accomodations to which they are entitled. These conversations have complemented their school Social Studies lessons in the history of civil rights and peaceful protesting in the United States. Taking these lessons from history and their personal experiences to heart, the students decided to put what they learned into practice.
The protest was organized entirely by the students themselves, with support from Adolescent Skills Center staff. The students wrote a letter to their school Assistant Principal outlining their concerns. Below is an excerpt from the letter the students wrote:
"The students of District 79 at the Bronx Adolescent Skills Center currently feel that we are not being taught math correctly. We are wondering if a teacher can be brought in to teach us math so we can have a better understanding. With the TRA's taking place on April 5th, students feel like they will not pass the math section which will hinder them from taking the TASC exam at a later date…In conclusion we would really appreciate if you take the time out to help us out in this difficult time of the year."
The students also signed a petition to accompany their letter. Parents got involved by calling the Re-Start Academy's superintendent, Tim Lasante. Two students called the principal of Re-Start Academy, Joan Indart-Etienne, and voiced their concerns directly to her as well.
On Monday, March 27, the Bronx Adolescent Skills Center staff helped the students organized a peaceful sit-in protest instead of going to math class. The students gathered tables, chairs, and other materials to draw signs for their protest with the help of ASC staff. The day of the sit-in, the students' Assistant Principal joined them and listened as they expressed their concerns about their education. The students stood together, bold and brave, and unwilling to take no for an answer.
I attended the protest with other Bronx Adolescent Skills Center staff. Together, we stood with the students, prepared to offer them any support they needed. We told the students that they did not have to take what was handed to them due to their circumstances. The students did not know what the outcome would be, but they were prepared to continue advocating for what they needed. The day after the protest, a new math teacher was sent to teach our students.
The staff of the Bronx Adolescent Skills Center, as well as all of MHA-NYC, are extremely proud of these students and their parents for their activism, dedication to their education, and courage to advocate for their needs. After the protest, the students and staff displayed their protest posters in the hallway of the Bronx Adolescent Skills Center. We hope that this story inspires other youth to advocate for the change they want to see within their schools and community. Students never have to simply accept what is given to them, no matter their circumstances. There is strength in numbers.

Specify the simulation time Tf and the agent sample time Ts in seconds
Ts = 0.02;
Tf = 25;
Fix the random generator seed for reproducibility.
Create DDPG Agent
A DDPG agent approximates the long-term reward, given observations and actions, using a critic value function representation. To create the critic, first create a deep neural network with two inputs (the state and action) and one output. The input size of action path is [1 1 1] since the agent can apply an action as one force value to the environment. For more information on creating a deep neural network value function representation, see Create Policy and Value Function Representations.
statePath = [
actionPath = [
commonPath = [
criticNetwork = layerGraph(statePath);
criticNetwork = addLayers(criticNetwork,actionPath);
criticNetwork = addLayers(criticNetwork,commonPath);
criticNetwork = connectLayers(criticNetwork,'CriticStateFC2','add/in1');
criticNetwork = connectLayers(criticNetwork,'CriticActionFC1','add/in2');
View the critic network configuration.
Specify options for the critic representation using rlRepresentationOptions.
criticOptions = rlRepresentationOptions('LearnRate',1e-03,'GradientThreshold',1);
Create the critic representation using the specified deep neural network and options. You must also specify the action and observation information for the critic, which you already obtained from the environment interface. For more information, see rlQValueRepresentation.
critic = rlQValueRepresentation(criticNetwork,obsInfo,actInfo,...
Construct the actor in a similar manner to the critic. For more information, see rlDeterministicActorRepresentation.
actorNetwork = [
actorOptions = rlRepresentationOptions('LearnRate',5e-04,'GradientThreshold',1);
To create the DDPG agent, first specify the DDPG agent options using rlDDPGAgentOptions.
agentOptions = rlDDPGAgentOptions(...
agentOptions.NoiseOptions.StandardDeviation = 0.4;
agentOptions.NoiseOptions.StandardDeviationDecayRate = 1e-5;
Then, create the agent using the specified actor representation, critic representation and agent options. For more information, see rlDDPGAgent.
agent = rlDDPGAgent(actor,critic,agentOptions);
Train Agent
 - Run each training episode for at most 2000 episodes, with each episode lasting at most ceil(Tf/Ts) time steps.
 - Stop training when the agent receives an average cumulative reward greater than –400 over five consecutive episodes. At this point, the agent can quickly balance the pole in the upright position using minimal control effort.
 - Save a copy of the agent for each episode where the cumulative reward is greater than –400.
For more information, see rlTrainingOptions.
maxepisodes = 2000;
maxsteps = ceil(Tf/Ts);
trainingOptions = rlTrainingOptions(...
Train the agent using the train function. Training this agent process is computationally intensive and takes several hours to complete. To save time while running this example, load a pretrained agent by setting doTraining to false. To train the agent yourself, set doTraining to true.
doTraining = false;
if doTraining
 % Train the agent.
 trainingStats = train(agent,env,trainingOptions);
 % Load the pretrained agent for the example.
Simulate DDPG Agent
simOptions = rlSimulationOptions('MaxSteps',500);
experience = sim(env,agent,simOptions);

Even when a business is losing money, it's possible for shareholders to make money if they buy a good business at the right price. For example, biotech and mining exploration companies often lose money for years before finding success with a new treatment or mineral discovery. But the harsh reality is that very many loss making companies burn through all their cash and go bankrupt.
So should Australian Mines (ASX:AUZ) shareholders be worried about its cash burn? In this article, we define cash burn as its annual (negative) free cash flow, which is the amount of money a company spends each year to fund its growth. The first step is to compare its cash burn with its cash reserves, to give us its 'cash runway'.
Does Australian Mines Have A Long Cash Runway?
You can calculate a company's cash runway by dividing the amount of cash it has by the rate at which it is spending that cash. In June 2019, Australian Mines had AU$3.4m in cash, and was debt-free. In the last year, its cash burn was AU$15m. That means it had a cash runway of around 3 months as of June 2019. With a cash runway that short, we strongly believe that the company must raise cash or else douse its cash burn promptly. The image below shows how its cash balance has been changing over the last few years.
How Is Australian Mines's Cash Burn Changing Over Time?
Australian Mines didn't record any revenue over the last year, indicating that it's an early stage company still developing its business. So while we can't look to sales to understand growth, we can look at how the cash burn is changing to understand how expenditure is trending over time. It's possible that the 17% reduction in cash burn over the last year is evidence of management tightening their belts as cash reserves deplete. Australian Mines makes us a little nervous due to its lack of substantial operating revenue. So we'd generally prefer stocks from this list of stocks that have analysts forecasting growth.
How Hard Would It Be For Australian Mines To Raise More Cash For Growth?
Even though it has reduced its cash burn recently, shareholders should still consider how easy it would be for Australian Mines to raise more cash in the future. Companies can raise capital through either debt or equity. Many companies end up issuing new shares to fund future growth. By comparing a company's annual cash burn to its total market capitalisation, we can estimate roughly how many shares it would have to issue in order to run the company for another year (at the same burn rate).
Australian Mines has a market capitalisation of AU$60m and burnt through AU$15m last year, which is 24% of the company's market value. That's not insignificant, and if the company had to sell enough shares to fund another year's growth at the current share price, you'd likely witness fairly costly dilution.
Is Australian Mines's Cash Burn A Worry?
Even though its cash runway makes us a little nervous, we are compelled to mention that we thought Australian Mines's cash burn reduction was relatively promising. Once we consider the metrics mentioned in this article together, we're left with very little confidence in the company's ability to manage its cash burn, and we think it will probably need more money. For us, it's always important to consider risks around cash burn rates. But investors should look at a whole range of factors when researching a new stock. For example, it could be interesting to see how much the Australian Mines CEO receives in total remuneration.
Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this free list of companies insiders are buying, and this list of stocks growth stocks (according to analyst forecasts)

The effects of glucosinolates in canola meal feeding regiments on liver and thyroid physiological responses and productive performance parameters in the laying hen
Long-term (4-8 months) experiments were conducted to evaluate the feeding value of a new low-glucosinolate canola meal for laying hens and to investigate the physiological responses in the liver and the thyroid to diet glucosinolate levels in various canola meal feeding regimens. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of glucosinolates on fertility and hatchability in breeder laying hens and to assess the possible influence of iodine supplementation. The importance of glucosinolate hydrolysis products in the physiological response of laying hens to dietary glucosinolates was exemplified by the observations that hepatic glutathione and thyroid weight showed more pronounced response in birds fed diets designed to produce a maximum amount of glucosinolate hydrolysis products. A significant linear relationship between diet glucosinolate levels and hepatic glutathione content was observed. These data along with the data that a high rate of egg production and no mortality due to liver hemorrhage were noted in laying hens fed meal produced from the new low-glucosinolate cultivar indicate that the glucosinolate content should be reduced in future canola varieties. The corresponding meals could then be used in laying hen diets based on their nutritive value with no need for an upper-limit constraint. An increase in T3 and a decrease in T4 in response to the increasing glucosinolate levels were noted from the regression analyses indicating that the biological active hormone form, T3, rather than T4 tended to be produced as a compensatory response to ingested glucosinolates. No adverse effects were noted on hatchability and fertility of laying hens in canola meal feeding regimens indicating that canola meal can be used as a protein supplement in breeder laying hen diets. However, a reduction in body weight and plasma T4 of day-old chicks were noted although the latter response could be alleviated by adding supplemental iodine to the canola meal diet.


Inserting many records into a database
#1
Hi,
I want to insert many records into a database. If I do them one-by-one,
it takes a long time. Does Rails have a method to optimize this –
creating a single SQL command for many records, maybe? The entries I
want to enter are all children to a single parent. Creating an array
children_array of the child objects is fast; it's when I do
children_array.each do |child|
children<<child
end
that it takes a long time. (Here children is the name of the table that
has child objects.)
Thanks!

Why People Love the Dangers of Motocross
Apart from the convenience motorbikes bring to our lives, they also serve as a source of recreation and excitement to thousands of motocross enthusiasts. True to their passion, there are even times when racers would find no need for a tournament. With their motorcycle helmets on and palms on the handlebars, they just speed through the city streets like wind runs through empty spaces.
Motocross, as with any other race, is risky and costly for a sport. Sometimes, accidents can even be fatal. Stories of broken limbs and slipped discs, however, cannot stop avid racers from playing the game. They would even spend thousands just for gears and custom motorcycle helmets. That is just how these racers fall in love with motocross despite the dangers it imposed.
Now we ask the question, why? Why do people love motocross? Get to know three reasons behind this enthusiasm.
It Fuels the Testosterone
It's rare to see women getting hooked in the game. Motocross, suffice to say, is a man's game. And this has a lot to do with testosterone, the hormone responsible for the engagement in risky behaviors. Studies show that testosterone drives males to seek heightened emotions such as thrill, fun, excitement, and danger. It's hard to explain why men want challenges, and it can only be testosterone.
Riding motorbikes and performing stunts in relatively difficult terrain gives men that much needed outlet for their ravishing testosterone. Others turn to other sports. Since each has his unique skill set, those who love speed and coordination prefer motocross.
It Gives Them Sense of Accomplishment
Corporate competition is now becoming a norm. Some men, who struggle with their careers, find sense of accomplishment in dangerous sports. Nothing could be more rewarding than surpassing all those obstacles with just your motorcycle helmets, gloves, and boots as your source of protection. You become manlier in the eyes of the public, especially when you take home that trophy. But then again, for those who are enthusiasts, the prize doesn't come in tangible forms. The experience and the hype will count more.
It Can Be a Form of Self-Expression
There are stresses people have to face every day. Sometimes, anger, sadness, depression, and frustration will find their way in motocross and other physically-demanding sports. It sounds ridiculous to some people, but any athlete or artist can attest to how passions become channels of pent-up emotions. Racers explain how they sometimes forget about the world once they've turned on the engine.
They forget about their worries, and even their expenses. They don't mind if they spend a lot for custom engines, custom motorcycle helmets, or custom riding boots. To them, the sport has become more of a friend and a respite from all of life's concerns. Motocross has even become a lifestyle to people who are already past their tender age.
No one can really predict why people fall in love with this dangerous game. If you're goal is to understand your friend, family or loved one who happened to become addicted to this sport, then the explanations above can help you. There's no way to stop racers from embracing motocross. The least to do is to provide them with safety measures and accept their passions.
10 Hunting Fundamentals Which You Should Have in Your Pack
If you are thinking about going on your very first hunting journey very soon, you will have to be gotten ready for everything which you have to do and all the other possibilities which could occur while you're out in the wild. Below are some of the must-haves when you are out hunting.
A Good Hunting Rifle
Brand New Hunting Rifle: Approximately $9,000.
There are so many factors which you should think about when buying a hunting rifle although the basic ones would be the following: The game you plan to hunt, your skill level and the amount of money you want to pay out.
But there are some things which first-time hunters tend to ignore. But we're informing you now so take note of these.
Your scope might go as high as 50 % the quantity of your rifle. Yes, it's that costly. So see to it that you have actually reserved adequate money for that otherwise you would be almost blind throughout the hunt. Bullets are essential too or your rifle is totally worthless in the wild. Bullet types and weight should be considered too when you're shopping for these.
Game Camera.
Brand New Game Camera: $150 – $600.
A long time back, you would have to do several rounds in the day (or at night) stalking your game. Now, you have a cordless game camera to assist you with it. All you have to do is set it up tactically and simply wait, especially when you're exhausted or resting in the camp.
Since you will need numerous of these, the cost is definitely a big element when you're going shopping. The time of the real time transmission ought to also be considered because this is generally your alert. Some ensure a 90-second transmission to your device.Be sure to check on the website first before you pick the best trail camera reviews.
Satellite Phone.
Brand New Satellite Phone: $500 – $1,700.
This is your best friend when you're travelling deep into the woods or far out in the safari. It's essential that you find excellent signal first before you set up camp just in case you need help for anything.
The majority of sat phones today have actually reproduced the common mobile phones in terms of size and weight. A lot of those even have WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities even. So all you need to keep in mind of now is the network provider and the expense per call.
Multi-Purpose Hunting Device.
As a solar-powered phone battery charger, compass, AM/ FM and weather radio, barometer, thermometer and LED flashlight, this is basically like the Swiss Knife for hunting trips. And why not have this one device instead of packing each thing in your bag, right?
There many brands out there which are not simply effective with each of its functions but also durable and water resistant.
The next set of hunting fundamentals would be those you have to have in case of emergencies. Even if the place you are off to is relatively safe and close to all contemporary conveniences including tertiary health centers, it is finest that you have all these to be gotten ready for possible mishaps and so on.
Hunting Pack.
See to it that this is big enough so you can put everything you require inside it, sturdy enough so that it would not easily rip and waterproof.
Full First Aid Kit.
Small injuries and tiny bites to severe accidents could take place and you want to be ready for all those.
This is not just for drinking, mind you. It's helpful for cleaning wounds and other injuries.
From securing your belongings to a tree branch to utilizing it as a sling for your rifle, a light rope (or a heavy cord) is among the most crucial must-haves in your hunting trip.
You never ever leave this when you go hunting.
Lighter or Matches.
Going all cave man in the wild is fun however not really hassle-free. Make it easy on yourself and bring a lighter.
Final Tip: If you aren't sure which brand to obtain, say with the game cameras readily available in the market today, go on the internet and check out as many path web cam examines as you can. This is among the very best methods which you can find that devices or gear which will match your needs and level of ability before you head out there buying. So go out there and embrace the best nature experience you had in your life and capture it using a wildlife camera.
The Complicated Road To Complicated Coffee
We do not view as much plain coffee nowadays as we used to. Exactly what could be the factor for it? It's most likely due to the fact that it is extremely easy these days to brew up a cup of premium coffee for your family, pals, and acquaintances. There are now coffee clubs and coffee social areas where coffee is handling the appearance of a social group. These meeting point can happen within the shops and community or on the Internet.
Gone are the days when you just went to a coffee bar to get a regular cup of coffee.
This is an occurring because of an obsession by coffee fans all over America for the gourmet or specialty coffee. These individuals go to all the coffee specialized shops and order it from catalogues or the Internet. They enjoy grinding the coffee beans themselves. When they take trips to locations like Costa Rica, they look for and revive the specialized coffees. Now we have "coffee tasting" occasions just like wine tasting.
There is even interior design items and furniture coming on the marketplace promoting a coffee style– excellent presents for the coffee fan.
Coffee had its beginnings as a stimulant in 900 A.D. It has also had its starts in a variety of uses such as a medication and a wine. Nothing is much different today.
Coffee is among the few unblemished products over time but that is quickly altering. Individuals are coming up with all sorts of ways to enhance its taste and fragrance and will most likely keep doing it well into the future.
And coffee shares a good portion of the world's market. It is 2nd just to oil in dollar volume as a world commodity.
Individuals also nowadays are regularly attempting to minimize their caffeine consumption. A pound of coffee has half the caffeine as a pound of tea yet we get more caffeine in a cup of coffee? Why? It is due to the fact that a pound of tea will give us 160 cups of coffee and a pound of coffee just provides us 40. This may disappoint those of you who have to drink decaffeinated coffee however hate

Marginal Gains – A powerful tool to achieve your goals
In our blog, How To Beat Your Brain, we mentioned a concept called marginal gains. As promised, here's a quick run down of what marginal gains is and how you can use it to break down your goals and make more progress than conventional methods.
The concept of marginal gains was thrust into the spotlight after the London 2012 Olympics when GB Cycling performance director, Dave Brailsford, spoke about how he used the concept to improve GB Cycling performance so much that they dominated international cycling for over a decade. Dave Brailsford summed the concept up by saying "The whole principle came from the idea that if you broke down everything you could think of that goes into riding a bike, and then improved it by 1%, you will get a significant increase when you put them all together," (Source:
This summation is pretty spot on! Essentially you can break down a problem or in our case, your goals/performance into as many sub-categories as you wish and improve on each of these parts individually. When you then look at these sub-parts as a whole, you will have a larger overall increase/improvement on your performance. In the case of GB Cycling, they were aiming for gold medals so they may have gone into more details than is necessary for some people – take sleeping in the right position for example. Yes, it may work towards achieving your goals, but it probably isn't as important as just getting 8 hours of decent sleep if you're currently getting 5.
Below is a simplified version for someone who is trying to loose 10 lbs of fat in 5 weeks.
Goal – Loose 10 lbs of fat
Duration – 5 weeks
Higher level factors that affect fat loss
 1. Activity Levels
 2. Food quality
 3. Food intake
 4. Sleep quality
 5. Positive mind set
So here we have 5 higher level factors that will influence this goal of burning 10 lbs of fat in 5 weeks. Now, you can stop here and get going or you can break down each of these 5 factors into more sub-factors within each one. Below is the breakdown for one of these factors.
Activity Levels
 1. Exercise 4 times/week.
 2. Exercise for at least 1 hour for each session.
 3. Walk to work and back 3 times a week.
 4. Stand up every 30 minutes whilst at work (shown to significantly increase metabolism).
 5. Do 10 squats, 10 press ups and 10 star jumps every morning.
So from picking 1 higher level factor, here you have 5 lower level factors you can focus on to reach your goal. You see how this could go on and on!
My advice would be to pick 5-10 higher level factors and really nail them. If you want to you can go deeper, but this can make things a bit over whelming to start with, which is totally the opposite of what this aims to do. 10 higher level factors with 5 lower level factors will total 50 points for you to improve on, which is quite extreme!
The take away message should be to take what seems a complex problem and break it down into smaller chunks so you can focus in and achieve your goals. If you improve by 1% on 10 factors you will have an overall increase of 10%! Which is significant!

text: Floral bud abortion was found to be an undesirable source of non-genetic variation in breeding trials directed on the improvement of individual flower longevity in Asiatic hybrid lilies. It increased the longevity of the remaining flowers of the inflorescence. A similar response was found after elimination of developing terminal flower buds by hand, which significantly increased the longevity of the remaining flowers in inflorescences of eight of the eleven Asiatic hybrid lilies studied. The response to bud reduction was independent of the original flower longevity, so ranking of the cultivars based on longevity values will change due to bud abortion and selection results will be disturbed. Preharvest and postharvest influences of bud removal on flower longevity were distinguished by comparing longevities of undetached and detached flowers within four cultivars. Our data suggest that the increase in flower longevity of the remaining flowers after bud removal was mainly attributed to a decrease in sink strength within the harvested inflorescence. In two of the four cultivars tested the increase in flower longevity was partly caused during cultivation and was accompanied by an increase in methanol soluble sugar content in the flower petals at harvest. Bud opening and flower longevity were not significantly influenced by defoliation after harvest, indicating that within lily inflorescences translocation of metabolites mainly takes place between developing flower buds. Flower longevity and carbohydrate content in open flowers at harvest did not correspond between the two cultivars studied probably due to differences in developmental stage of the other flower buds of the inflorescence and, therefore, sink strength.

I have been setting up a proof of concept system which has a SQL Server 2017 back end.
The system uses temporal tables to record asset configurations and track changes over time.
I have a Data table which is linked to the history table, let's call it dbo.MSSQL_TemporaryHistoryFor_12345678900.
So far so good. I have two issues:
Today I turned off versioning on the table so I could add a computed column. This was done and turned back on again without errors.
Now I find that I cannot query any historic data from before the change. New data is being added to the history, but there is nothing beforehand.
Looking inside SSMS, I can now see there are multiple history tables, all with the same name but with a hex suffix, e.g. dbo.MSSQL_TemporaryHistoryFor_12345678900_A0B1C2D3. They are not linked beneath the main data table. They are just floating around on their own inside the database. When I queried sys.tables, these are not shown as history tables and are not linked to the main data table.
These tables do contain the historical data which is missing.
The questions I have are therefore:
 - What do these additional tables represent?
 - How were they created?
 - Is there any way to somehow relink these into the main history chain so I can get my historical reporting back?
It's very frustrating so any help you can provide would be gratefully received. Thanks.

You need to provide the name of the history table in order to maintain data continuity when turning system versioning off and on. This behavior is mentioned in the documentation for ALTER TABLE:
If you don't use the HISTORY_TABLE argument, the system generates a new history table matching the schema of the current table, creates a link between the two tables, and enables the system to record the history of each record in the current table in the history table.
Here's a demo. I'll create the example table from the documentation:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Employee
(
 [EmployeeID] int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
 , [Name] nvarchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Position] varchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Department] varchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Address] nvarchar(1024) NOT NULL
 , [AnnualSalary] decimal (10,2) NOT NULL
 , [ValidFrom] datetime2 (2) GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW START
 , [ValidTo] datetime2 (2) GENERATED ALWAYS AS ROW END
 , PERIOD FOR SYSTEM_TIME (ValidFrom, ValidTo)
 )
 WITH (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON);
This results in a history table named MSSQL_TemporalHistoryFor_1253579504. Now I'll disable and enable system versioning:
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = OFF);
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON);
And I'm in your exact situation:
enter image description here
Now I'll clean everything up:
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = OFF);
DROP TABLE dbo.Employee;
DROP TABLE dbo.MSSQL_TemporalHistoryFor_1253579504;
DROP TABLE dbo.MSSQL_TemporalHistoryFor_1253579504_D0055BB4;
Then create the table with a specific history table name:
 CREATE TABLE dbo.Employee
(
 [EmployeeID] int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
 , [Name] nvarchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Position] varchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Department] varchar(100) NOT NULL
 , [Address] nvarchar(1024) NOT NULL

 WITH (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON (HISTORY_TABLE = dbo.EmployeeHistory));
Then turn system versioning off and on, but continue specifying the history table name:
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = OFF);
ALTER TABLE dbo.Employee SET (SYSTEM_VERSIONING = ON (HISTORY_TABLE = dbo.EmployeeHistory));
Note: in your specific situation, you should be able to use this syntax to "reattach" one lost history table to your base table
No extra tables:
enter image description here
The takeaway
Always specify a history table name explicitly when creating temporal tables or enabling system versioning.
The MS docs now call this out specifically on the Stopping System-Versioning on a System-Versioned Temporal Table page:
When turning system versioning back on, do not forget to specify the HISTORY_TABLE argument. Failing to do so will result in a new history table being created and associated with the current table. The original history table will still exist as a normal table, but won't be associated with the current table.

A great book covering landscape photography processes, thinking and creativity
Working the Light
A Landscape Photography Masterclass
By Joe Cornish, Charlie Waite, David Ward and Eddie Ephraums
ISBN: 1 902538 46 3
Another unusual book from Argentum, this one focuses in a broad way on landscape photography. The four authors take a section of the book each:
* Foreword – Eddie Ephraums
* Wilderness landscapes – Joe Cornish
* Inhabited landscapes – Charlie Waite
* Inner landscapes – David Ward
In each of these, apart from the foreword, the author begins by describing their own working method, motivations and current projects. Following each author's statement section comes a Gallery Workshop where generally great quality submitted images are displayed along with great pieces of advice, displayed as tips by each image. A critique section then follows each Gallery Workshop. Here each of the submitted images that have been used is analyzed and critiqued by the authors.
This format works very well. It does have the feeling of attending a workshop, something the authors intended. It is appropriate that not all the images pass muster completely in the Critique section, as you can learn a great deal from people's mistakes and the authors thankfully do not pass up this opportunity. However, all of the images are quite striking, even if some work better than others.
You will learn much about landscape photography in particular, and photography in general, from this book. The sections on the authors' own work is insightful. The tips along with the submitted images teach much and then this is vastly expanded by the image critiques. These can teach you much if you carefully consider each image yourself before reading the authors' comments.
This is a great book. If you have any interest in landscape photography, buy this book.

Active Assistance for Psychological Therapy (Actissist): A digital intervention for co-producing care in psychosis
Image result for person on mobile phone
Download case study
Principal Investigator: Dr Sandra Bucci, The University of Manchester, Technical Leads: Prof. John Ainsworth and Mr Matthew Machin, The University of Manchester
The Challenge
Severe mental health problems such as schizophrenia affect 24 million people worldwide. Psychosis typically develops in early adulthood and up to 80% of patients relapse within 5-years.
Treating psychosis effectively is a complex process that takes time and requires a lot of resource. If the symptoms of psychosis are not addressed quickly then treatment can be challenging and ultimately lead to worse outcomes for patients and their families.
There is an increasing need to develop innovative solutions that improve the speed and quality of recovery in psychosis beyond those offered by conventional treatments. The challenge is to:
 1. Deliver more effective, efficient psychological treatments at the point-of-need to overcome limitations in existing practice and improve the speed and quality of recovery over and above existing drug treatments.
 2. Increase access to psychological therapies that encourage patients to better self-manage their symptoms and ensure early signs of relapse are identified and treated in a timely manner.
The Research
A team of researchers at The University of Manchester worked with service users and other stakeholders to co-design a smartphone app that uses academic theory to help support patients. The 12-week digital intervention works by:
 - helping patients better identify the early warning signs of psychosis;
 - delivering treatment at the point that it is needed most;
 - improving the patient's ability to function day-to-day;
 - enhancing the patients overall quality of life; and
 - potentially reducing demand on NHS services.
By applying a patient-centred approach Actissist delivers timely, personalised care that reduces the risk of distressing psychotic experiences.
Image result for person on mobile phone
The Results
Actissist was used in a small study with 24 patients to make sure that it is safe, practical and accepted by patients as an effective way to treat psychotic and other distressing experiences.
The research showed that patients were comfortable with using Actissist to the extent that uptake of the app was higher and drop-out rates lower than face-to-face and other computerized psychological packages.
In addition, the research team found the app led to statistically significant improvements in patient outcomes at the end of treatment, in comparison with a control group of patients who used a symptom-monitoring app. When looked at in detail, researchers found high rates of acceptability and other individual benefits for patients as a result of the intervention.
The Impact
This research has the potential for broad-ranging impact with benefits to patients, the NHS, healthcare professionals, the national and international scientific communities, and government policies.
As Actissist is a platform technology that can be applied to a range of both mental and physical health problems, this research is of keen interest to healthcare academics as well as computer scientists and informaticians across institutions worldwide.
Furthermore, this research helps further advance and understand how technology can help deliver new health and care treatments. Actissist is unique in applying comprehensive and theory-driven clinical techniques to digital treatments, delivered in real-time, to patients with severe mental health problems. By using rigorous scientific methods, the app allows other innovators to develop further mental health interventions using the Actissist model.
Finally, as self-management is a cornerstone of NHS policy, this research addresses established NHS England priorities in the area of severe mental health treatment policy.

Leveraging email header information in Flow Designer
How can I leverage certain fields from the email headers in a flow?
All versions of xMatters
If you look at what is logged in the Activity panel when you initiate a flow using the email trigger, you find there is a lot of items from the email header:
email.to[0] The addresses the email was sent to (for example, _EMAIL_).
email.senderIp The IP address the email was sent from (for example,
email.sender The xMatters user configured to authenticate the email trigger (for example, mmcbride).
email.subject The contents of the subject field (for example, Issue detected in web login service).
email.htmlBody The body of the email in HTML markup.
email.plaintextBody The body of the email in plain text.
email.headers.ARC-Authentication-Results Email authentication results such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation.
email.headers.ARC-Message-Signature A DKIM-like signature of the entire message except for the ARC-Seal headers.
email.headers.ARC-Seal A DKIM-like signature that includes the ARC Signature and the ARC Authentication Results header information.
email.headers.Accept-Language The preferred languages set in the email client (for example, en-CA, fr-CA, en-US).
email.headers.Content-Language The language the content is in (for example, en-US).
email.headers.Content-Type The media type of the message content (for example, multipart/alternative).
email.headers.DKIM-Signature DKIM signature containing information about the sender, the message, and the public key location required for verification.
email.headers.Date Date and time the message was written (for example, Tue, 16 Jun 2020 18:02:58 +0000).
email.headers.From The email address the message is from (for example, First Last ).
email.headers.MIME-Version The MIME version of the email (for example, 1.0).
email.headers.Message-ID A unique identified assigned to the message by the email client (for example, _EMAIL_).
email.headers.Received A list of servers the email traveled through.
email.headers.Subject The email subject (for example, Issue detected in web login service).
email.headers.Thread-Index A values used by some email clients to support threading (for example, AQHWRAhe9PTa3R106EKT1QS6lt9jOw==).
email.headers.Thread-Topic A values used by some email clients to support threading (for example, Issue detected in web login service).
email.headers.To The address the email is sent to (for example, "_EMAIL_" ).
email.headers.X- Header parameters added by email clients for their systems and processes, such as spam detection.
email.headers.authentication-results What the email client authenticated when the message was sent.
email.recipients The xMatters target names of any recipients (for example, mmcbride)
So, how do you access these items?
You need to create a custom step, and add a small amount of code. Here are the quick steps:
 1. First, define an input to bring in the email headers. In this example, we'll call the input 'email_headers'.
 2. Next, create an output. Let's say we want to have an output with the 'from' information.
 3. Use the script to map the information into outputs.
When mapping the header information to the output, use the input name plus the header parameter. For example, to map the email.headers.From parameter to an email_from output:
output['email_from'] = input['email_headers']['From'];
This pulls the information in the From parameter contained in the email_headers input. When you use the step in a flow, you'd populate the email_headers input with the email.headers output from the Email trigger.
You can also create a variable and use it when mapping parameters. For example:
var headers = input['email_headers']; output['email_from'] = input['email_headers']['From'];
You can use bracket or dot notation for single-word parameters:
['email_headers']['From'] can be entered as ['email_headers'].From
For full instructions on creating a custom step and defining inputs and outputs, see the online help.

Sediment yield is eroded soil that transported from a place to a measurement point, for example in a reservoir. Sediment in the reservoir is a problem that can reduce the performance of the reservoir, so it needs to be assess regularly. One of many ways to assess is to calculate the potential of sediment that enters the reservoir. The research objective is to calculate the potential of sediment that enters the reservoir at Situ Gintung Dam using two methods, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and Schaffernak methods. The USLE method calculate sediment that comes from land erosion of a watershed, but the potential land erosion that occurred is not necessarily create actual sediment load at the river bed so it needs to be correlated with the results of the actual sediment load. The actual sediment load can be calculated using Schaffernak method. The results of that obtain from each method will analysed to confirm the representativeness of the potential land erosion in Situ Gintung Dam. Percent of potential land erosion that transform into the sediment in the water body can be calculated by the value of Schaffernack method.

Minimize Distance between 3D Point Sets with Rotation and Translation
Date: 07/15/2007 at 14:32:21
From: Juan
Subject: find a rot-translation matrix for fitting two 3D point sets
I need to fit two sets of 3D points (a, b, c... n) and (a', b', c'...
n') in such a way that the Euclidean distances between the point
pairs (a,a'), (b,b')...(n,n') is minimum. I can apply only rotations
and translations but no scale changes.
Is it possible to find a least-squares solution to this problem? There
are lots of web pages describing methods for fitting the least-squares
solution between points and functions but I was unable to find
anything between two sets of points.
I suppose that if I represent X as the first dataset and Y as the
second dataset the classic least-squares method
Xt = Y
t = (X^TX)-1 X^T Y
should be able to provide a t matrix. However, this matrix can
contain scaling and I need that the transformation involves only
rotation and translation.
I have tried to use an iterative algorithm that applies rotations and
translations. It works fine, but it's time consuming and I am
convinced that there are far more efficient methods.

From Groupprops
Jump to: navigation, search
This article defines a subgroup-defining function, viz., a rule that takes a group and outputs a unique subgroup
View a complete list of subgroup-defining functions OR View a complete list of quotient-defining functions
Suppose G is a nilpotent group. The torsion subgroup of G is defined in the following equivalent ways:
 1. It is the subset comprising all the elements of G that have finite order. This subset turns out to be a subgroup.
 2. It is the largest subgroup of G that is a periodic nilpotent group.
 3. It is the subgroup generated by all the elements in G that have finite order.
Equivalence of definitions
This follows from equivalence of definitions of periodic nilpotent group.

An electro-Thermal co-design study has been performed on vertical GaN transistors (oxide, GaN interlayer based vertical trench MOSFETs; OG-FETs). Vertical (GaN-on-GaN) and quasi vertical (GaN-on-sapphire) devices were investigated. Vertical devices showed a 60% lower device peak temperature rise as compared to the quasi-vertical OG-FETs. Using electro-Thermal device simulation, the internal electric field and heat generation distributions within the OG-FETs were analyzed. The temperature rise of a hexagonal honeycomb structured scaled array of OG-FETs was characterized using thermoreflectance thermal imaging and infrared thermography. A 3D thermal model was used to evaluate the impact of design variables including the number of cells, the pitch between individual cells, and the aspect ratio of the array configuration on the self-heating behavior of multi-cell arrays of OG-FETs.
