Freie Ungarische Botschaft and Political Parties
The organizational mission of the Freie Ungarische Botschaft (FUB) is to restore the democratic rule of law and to create a society of solidarity in Hungary—from abroad.
The group aims to achieve this goal as a civil society organization. One cornerstone of our independence is our relationship to political parties. The FUB has no intention to assume or exercise any form of public power. The association also refrains from supporting organizations in their efforts to assume or exercise public authority.
The purpose of the FUB is to raise awareness and to disseminate information, to build alliances with other organizations as well as to turn European and particularly German public attention to the Hungarian situation. The association can only be successful in fulfilling this purpose if it remains independent, impartial and makes its affairs with political parties transparent to the public.
Guiding principles regarding political parties and elections:
 1. The FUB sees German and Hungarian political parties and their representatives who share its core values as important partners, and actively seeks cooperation with them. Nevertheless, it never commits itself to any candidates or nominating organizations in any elections whose purpose is to pursue public office (mandate in an organ of popular representation or position in a governmental body) neither in Hungary, nor in Germany, nor at the European level. This excludes the appraisal of candidates, nominating organizations and their programs strictly on the basis of professional criteria in alignment with the aims of the FUB.
 2. Board members and any persons publicly representing the association may neither run in any election whose purpose is to pursue public office nor perform a key function in a political party or publicly represent it. In the case that a member should choose to run in such an election, they are obliged to inform the FUB board four months prior to the expected date of that election, and are to resign from any such functions in the FUB.
 3. The FUB does not develop party platforms, and its members and associates do not participate in developing such platforms in the name of the association. In the case that the FUB assesses parts of party platforms pertaining to its programs or function, the result of that assessment will be made publicly available on its web site.
 4. The FUB may share its official opinion with representatives of any political party.
 5. The FUB board has the authority to approve or disapprove any participation or publicly held speech at a political party's event. The main consideration regarding this decision is whether such participation poses a risk of the FUB committing itself to a candidate or a nominating organization, or appearing to do so.
 6. Representatives of political parties may be invited to public events organized by the FUB if the topic of the event justifies this participation. In the case that a speaker at a FUB public event is a representative of a political party, the association will strive to strike a balance of voices by adjusting the list of participants for the event or event series accordingly. This rule also applies to events jointly hosted by the FUB and other organizations and it is a necessary condition of any such joint undertaking.
 7. The FUB does not organize events collaboratively nor does it participate in joint engagements with any political party, political party foundation or any organizational unit thereof nor with any elected official1 of a political party.
 8. The FUB maintains a register of inquiries received from political parties and other nominating organizations, political candidates as well as persons holding mandates in an organ of popular representation or holding public offices in a government body in Germany or in Hungary, as well as registering answers provided to these inquiries. The register also contains any enquiries the FUB directed at such persons or organizations. The register is updated at least semiannually and is publicly available.
 9. The FUB does not accept any direct or indirect cash or in-kind donations from political parties or political party foundations registered in Hungary or the elected officials thereof. In the case that a political party or a political party foundation registered outside of Hungary offers a donation2, the FUB can only accept this with consideration of maintaining a balance between parties. The details of any such contributions will be published on the FUB's website.
 10. The FUB does not collect or otherwise provide any donations to political parties or political party foundations registered in Hungary or the elected officials thereof.
This document is based on the statement "A TASZ és a politikai pártok (Hungarian Civil Liberties Union and Political Parties)".
This regulation comes into effect on 24.02.2020.
1 Elected office is an office assumed as a result of in-party elections, or a public office (member of parliament, municipal representative, mayor etc.).
2 Any contribution is considered a donation, which includes funds awarded through grants or other awards.

What Does Employment At Will Mean In Arizona?
Employment at Will in Arizona means that the employer is free to fire an employee at any time for any reason or for no reason at all. Similarly, the employee is free to quit at any time for any reason or for no reason at all. Although the default rule in Arizona is that all employment falls into the "At-Will" category, there are exceptions to the rule where the employer is not simply allowed to fire the employee without legal consequences. These exceptions fall primarily into the categories of illegal discrimination, illegal retaliation and when the termination would violate a written employment contract.
What Does Wrongful Termination Mean?
Wrongful termination is when someone has been terminated in a way that qualifies for one of the exceptions to the At-Will employment rule. Generally speaking, there are three times that a termination can be wrongful termination, also called illegal termination. What makes a termination illegal is if it violated statutes against discrimination, such as discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability status or age. The second category would be if the termination was in retaliation for something, usually it is something along the lines of reporting illegal activity or participating in some sort of investigation of the company. The third type of wrongful termination is if you have a contract for a specific period of time then you cannot be fired for just any reason — you can only be fired for the reasons that are specifically identified in your contract as reasons that firing would be allowed. Those types of contracts are commonly used for school teachers, who sign a contract for the entire school year. During the school year, they cannot really quit for any reason without legal repercussions, and similarly, the school cannot just fire them for whatever reason they want – they could only be fired if there was good cause for doing so, which would be outlined in the contract.
What Is A Constructive Discharge?
Constructive discharge is when the circumstances and conditions of the employment for the employee are so bad that any reasonable person would quit. In other words, if an employee is in a job situation that is so bad that any reasonable person would say that they cannot work in that environment anymore, then if you quit, the law will treat you the same as if you had been fired. This is significant because it can still qualify as a termination and therefore can also qualify as a wrongful termination, which would justify legal action even though you technically were never terminated.
Most commonly, constructive discharge will arise in situations where there is some sort of sexual harassment going on. The employer never fires the employee who is being harassed but the harassment is so bad that it would be unreasonable to expect the employee to stay in that position with that company. Therefore, they are allowed to quit and the law will still treat it as if they had been fired. However, it is not limited to sexual harassment situations. In any job situation where the working conditions are so difficult or unpleasant that a reasonable employee would feel compelled to resign, then even if the employee quits, they could still pursue a claim for wrongful termination.
However, it is important to note that under Arizona law, even when those unpleasant or difficult working conditions exist, the employee still has to take certain steps before quitting in order for the resignation to be considered a constructive discharge. These steps primarily involve giving notice to the employer about the unpleasant working conditions and giving the employer a chance to fix the situation.
What Is Retaliation?
Retaliation is when an employer takes adverse employment action against an employee to get back at her for something she did, something she said, or something she refused to do or say. Retaliation for having reported illegal activity or for participating in an investigation against the company are common forms of illegal retaliation, but it is important to understand that not every type of retaliation is illegal. In fact, most firings, if the employer gives a reason for it, could be considered retaliatory. For example, if an employee is habitually late to work and he receives multiple warnings but still doesn't fix the problem, then when he is eventually fired, it would be accurate to say he was fired in retaliation for his habitual tardiness. However, this type of retaliation is not illegal. In other words, it is not retaliation that is illegal — it is only illegal when the employer retaliates based on the employee's participation in a protected activity.
Put another way, the only time the retaliation is illegal is if there is a specific legal prohibition against it — that is, if the Arizona legislature or United States Congress has enacted a law making such retaliation illegal. For example, Arizona's Employment Protection Act provides is that if an employee is fired in retaliation for reporting or refusing to participate in activity that violates Arizona law, then that would be a wrongful termination. The Employment Protection Act also says that if an employee gets fired in retaliation for having made a worker's compensation claim for an on-the-job injury then that also qualifies as a wrongful termination.
There are many other statutes, both federal and state statutes, that make certain types of retaliation illegal, and these laws fall into many different kind of categories. For example, the Family and Medical Leave Act makes it illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for taking family or medical leave. As another example, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (the law which makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion or sex) also contains provisions that make it illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee who reports or otherwise opposes such discriminatory practices.
In short, retaliation is only illegal if it is specifically prohibited by law. For any employee who has been fired who feels like it might have been an illegal retaliation, a consultation with an attorney to find out if their specific situation qualifies as illegal retaliation would be warranted.

jay - an LALR(1) parser generator for Java and C#
jay [ -tv ] [ -c ] [ -p ] [ -b file_prefix ] [ -V yyValue ] filename < skeleton
Jay reads the grammar specification in the file filename and generates an LR(1) parser for it. The parsers consist of a set of LALR(1) parsing tables and a driver routine from the file skeleton written in the Java programming language. Jay writes the parse tables and the driver routine to standard output.
The following options are available:
-b file_prefix
The -b option changes the prefix prepended to the output file names to the string denoted by file_prefix. The default prefix is the character y.
The -c option makes jay generate C# code instead of the default Java.
The -t option arranges for debugging information to be incorporated in the compiled code.
The -v option causes a human-readable description of the generated parser to be written to the file y.output.
The -p option causes jay to print the directory in which its sample skeleton files are installed. If a project wants to use the default skeleton file included with jay, it can use this option in a makefile to find the path to the skeleton or skeleton.cs file included with the jay distribution.
If the environment variable TMPDIR is set, the string denoted by TMPDIR will be used as the name of the directory where the temporary files are created.
If there are rules that are never reduced, the number of such rules is reported on standard error. If there are any LALR(1) conflicts, the number of conflicts is reported on standard error.
Jay is derived from Berkeley yacc. Input conventions closely follow those of yacc ; for details, consult the parser skeleton file and the commented example included with the sources.

Madara Rider (Madara Horseman) is the undisputed symbol of the Bulgarian people, history and culture, according to a poll conducted across the country. After this vote it was decided that the effigy of the Madara Rider will be carved on the first Bulgarian Euro coin.
The historical monument of the Madara Rider is a relief which is carved into a cliff. The height of the stone figure is about 23 meters from the base of the rock. This most significant Bulgarian symbol is located in northeastern Bulgaria, about 20 kilometers from the town of Shumen, near the village of Madara.
Very close to the Madara Rider are the first two Bulgarian capitals - Pliska and Preslav. Carved in stone the figure is considered to be apart of a various large ancient archeological site, which includes various items with religious, cultural and military use.
On the left side of the Madara Rider there are very steep stairs which leads you 431 meters up to the Madara plateau. Around the figure of the rider, clearly visible are the carved inscriptions in Greek, which give important information on historical events. According to various posts of specialist historians and archaeologists, the inscriptions are related to the founders of the Bulgarian nation - Asparuh, Krum and Omurtag.
The relief of Madara Rider is a fight scene between the rider and an eagle which flew over the rider. Next to them is a figure of a jumping dog that follows the rider who triumphed the lion with his spear. Overall Madara Rider is a symbol of the power of the First Bulgarian Empire. Experts say that it is most likely that Madara Rider was carved sometime in the 8th century and the rider was Khan Tervel, who lived between 701 and 721.
According to two official versions that describe what is depicted on this historic sanctuary in Bulgaria, the relief recreates the hunting scene in which the Bulgarian ruler kills a lion with his spear and whom is followed by his faithful dog.
The second hypothesis explains that the rider is associated with Khan Tervel, who defeated the Byzantines which is depicted symbolically by the lion and the dog. However, there are more posts that suggests, the Madara Rider relief is more than a depicted hunting scene. They take this information mostly from the unusual facts, obe being, that the lion has a raised tail, which means that it was not killed.
On a closer look at the animal under the rider you will see it does not look like a lion, as also once claimed. The lion has a distinctive mane and is significantly larger. The illustrated animal is a tiger or Leopard - the name by which ancient Bulgarians have called this animal.
In his front paws the 'lion' is holding a snake that is quite eroded, but is still distinct. It is a symbol of the Year of the Snake. The historical monument of Madara Rider was of world heritage by UNESCO in 1979 to 29 June 2008 and is also one of 100 national tourist sites.

Abstract
Objective: Osteotomies, performed by rotational instruments, can cause temperature rise on the bone and elevated temperature can disrupt the bone healing. When the osteotomies are performed for the insertion of miniscrews, the bone healing disruption may cause stability loosening or failures. Saline irrigation is mostly used for the prevention of the heat generation during osteotomy.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the saline irrigation temperature on bone healing.
Material and Method: Standardized drilling and miniscrew placement was performed in the tibias of 18 Sprague Dawley rats with rotating bur uncooled, cooled with 25°C and 4°C saline irrigations. After the 21 days, the difference in healing was observed between the uncooled and cooled groups.
Results: Although there was no statistically significant difference between the group irrigated with 25°C and 4°C saline for newly bone formation, osteoblasts were seen more active and bone marrow was more dynamic in group 4°C than group 25°C. There is no disadvantage to use 25°C, but it may be better to use 4°C for rapid healing.
Keywords: bone healing, saline irrigation temperature
Introduction
Dental implantation and fixation of screws for any reason are performed by drilling the bone and the success of these operations depend on many factors. Through these factors, thermal injuries occurring due to temperature raise during drilling, may be the most influent one (1,2). The threshold level for thermal injuries on the bone is the 47°C for a minute and the temperature can raise that level easily during drilling by rotational burs (1,3). As a consequence of thermal injury, bone is not only resorbed but also replaced with fat cells (4). As a result, the mechanical structure of the bone is weaken (5). To prevent the bone from the temperature raise during drilling, various irrigation systems are used and mostly, sterile saline solutions are the material of choice (6,7). Although, to our knowledge, there is not a scientific data in the literature, there is a belief among the surgeons that cooled saline irrigation is more effective than the uncooled saline irrigation to protect the bone from the thermal injuries.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of the irrigation temperature on the bone healing. For this aim, standardized drilling and miniscrew placement was performed in the tibias of 18 Sprague Dawley rats with rotating bur uncooled, cooled with 25°C and 4°C saline irrigation. The bone healing was evaluated between the uncooled and cooled groups.
Material and Method
Experiments were designed to determine the effect of irrigation temperature on the bone after osteotomy and miniscrew placement. For this aim 3 months old weighing approximately 350 to 450 g 18 Sprague-Dawley rats were maintained at 22 ±0.5 °C on a 12-h light/12-h dark cycle with free access to water and standartized food in pathogen free separate cages. All of the experiments were performed at the Istanbul University, Institutes of Experimental Science Laboratories (Istanbul, Turkey). Maintenance and all experimental procedures performed were fully in accordance with principles established by the existing governmental acts and approved by the University Institutional Animal Welfare Committee.
Animals were divided randomly in to 3 groups of 6 animals and 3 experiments were performed. Anesthesia was induced with ketamine HCl (100 mg/kg i.p., Ketalar ®, Parke Davis) by the injection through the peritonium of the rats and maintained with xylozin HCl (23.32 mg/ml i.p., Rompun®, Bayer). After the induction of anesthesia, operation sites were shaved and the rats were placed and stabilized on the operation table. All of the animals were operated by the same surgeon. Skin incision was performed parallel to the long axis of the right femurs and the bone was exposed by the dissection of hamstring and quadriceps femoris muscles.
Three experimental procedures were performed. Three drilling and miniscrew placement were performed on each animal. Totally 54 drilling and miniscrew placement was done. The drill speed was set to be 20,000 rpm, which is similar to that used during osteotomies by rotational systems and saline irrigation speed was standartized by using saline-dispencer. All of the holes were drilled with standard burs manufactured for 2mm miniscrews and standart 2mm wide 5mm length titanium miniscrews (Bone Screw Kit, Biohorisons®, USA) were inserted.
In the group one, holes were drilled without irrigation (Figure 1). In the group two, holes were drilled with 25°C (±2°C) saline irrigation and in the group three, holes were drilled with 4°C (±2°C) saline irrigation (Figure 2).
After the drilling and the miniscrew placement (Figure 3), muscle and fascia layers were closed with simple resorbable 4.0 sutures (Vicryl 4-0, Ethicon) and finally the skin incisions were closed with continious 3.0 sutures (Silk 3.0, Dogsan). Postoperative antibiotics (gentamicin, 0.5 mg/kg) and analgesics (xylocaine 0,5 mg/kg) were given subcutaneously. The positions of the miniscrews were controlled by cone beam CT scanning. During post-operative period, all of the animals were controlled day by day and none of them were lost.

At the end of three weeks, animals were killed and right femurs of them were harvested. Then, the specimens were sent to the pathology laboratory (Istanbul University, Institute of Oncology, Department of Pathology, Istanbul, TURKEY) for the histopathological evaluation. The cutting line was started parallel to the transverse axis of femurs at about 4 mm apart from femoral heads, where the first hole preparation was made. The specimens were fixed in 10% formalin for one week and decalcified in 10% formic acid solution (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) for 25 days. The decalcified specimens were embedded in paraffin and cut into 3 µm thick sections on charged slides using a microtome (Leica Microsystemic RM 2125, Germany), and routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed. The sections were examined with a light microscope (Olympus BX60 microscope) attached to a digital camera (Olympus E-330) which connected to a computer. A histomorphological review was performed by a single blinded oral pathologist to evaluate the presence of infection, necrosis, fibrosis and new bone formation. All screw hole surroundings were evaluated by histopathologically with light microscope under 20, 40, 100 and 200x magnifications.
The score was made up of 0-5% as (-), 5-30% as (+), 30-60% as (++) and 60% and over as (+++) to evaluation of new bone formation and fibrosis according to their surface covering at 40x magnification. The scores for infection and necrosis were determined by occurring in a standardized area at 20x magnification. The infection was determined if inflammatory cells were observed in the healing area the (+) score and if there were no inflammatory cells the (-) score were given. For necrosis the (-) score was given, if there was no necrosis whereas the (+) score was given if there was.
The statistical differences between the control and test groups were compared by ki-square and Fisher tests.
Results
In this research, all of the statistical evaluations were performed by using the NCSS software (NCSS Inc., 2007, USA). Ki-square and Fisher tests were performed for the evaluation of the definitive statistical methods and also qualitative datas. Probabilities of less than 0.05 were considered significant (p<0,05).
The distribution difference of the new bone formation between 4°C, 25°C and control groups were observed as statistically significant (p=0,031)(Table1). The new bone formation of the control group was evaluated significantly lower than the 4°C and 25°C groups (p=0,020, p=0,049) , however

A hundred years ago on this date it would have been Good Friday. I wonder if the family was making any preparations for Easter. The April 1, 1911 issue of Ladies Home Journal provided suggestions for dyeing Easter eggs:
Easter Egg Dye
A harmless dye for Easter eggs is made by boiling the eggs with onion skins. Put the eggs on to boil in cold water, with enough onion skins to cover them. Boil till the eggs are hard. They will come out in pretty shades of brown and red. Polish them with a soft flannel cloth. Two cupfuls of onion skins will color eight or ten eggs.
I used white eggs and the outer skins from yellow onions to test these directions. The eggs were easy to color–and the dyed eggs are a pretty reddish-brown. I'm amazed how the skins of yellow onions produce a dye that is so red.

A data pointer that can be passed to the connection exceptionListener callback function whenever it is called. The user can set this pointer to any data that may be useful to pass along to the connection exception listener for this connection. Set this to NULL if you do not need to pass data back to the connection exception listener.
Output parameter for the handle to the connection that is created by this function.
The MQCreateConnection function creates a connection to the broker. The behavior of the connection is specified by key values defined in the properties referenced by the propertiesHandle parameter. You must use the MQCreateProperties function to define these properties.
You cannot change the properties of a connection you have already created. If you need different connection properties, you must close and free the old connection and then create a new connection with the desired properties.
Setting a Client Identifier
The messaging service uses a client identifier in combination with a durable subscription name to uniquely identify each durable subscription. If a durable subscriber is inactive at the time that messages are delivered to a topic destination, the broker retains messages for that subscriber and delivers them when the subscriber once again becomes active.
Handling Connection Exceptions
Use the exceptionListener parameter to pass the name of a user-defined callback function that can be called synchronously when a connection exception occurs for this connection. Use the exceptionCallBackData parameter to specify any user data that you want to pass to the callback function.

The redesign of the entrance door of a Sabreliner corporate jet to improve access to the aircraft cabin is described. The current aircraft design uses a door that opens into the cabin space allowing the top of the door to swing through the opening. The door rotates into its final position where it becomes the entrance steps to the aircraft cabin. In the present configuration, the open door is inclined 60-with the top step situated 14 inches above the cabin floor. This paper presents two new designs for the cabin door where the top step is reduced to the same height as the cabin floor. In addition, the incline of the steps has been reduced from 60?to about 45?improving access to the cabin. The final designs, developed using LINCAGES 4 and LINCAGES 6 computer software, are 6-bar mechanisms-one using pin joints and the other using a rotating slider link. In both cases, the floating coupler (the door) is driven by hand.

 Hi Jeff,

 You'll find more about this in the language spec. (p7-8). Basically - and this is paraphrased from the spec. - it binds, more closely, a "reply value" to the port. Notice that in your code you're both sending, using the "<--" operator and receiving, using receive(), on the port Nums. You're only able to do this because we're explicitly saying that Nums has a reply value of type int.
 I am not 100% at which point the relationship is created between the lines:

 var result = receive(PrimaryChannel::Nums);
 result <-- result.RequestValue.Num1 + result.RequestValue.Num2;

 and the port, however. Maybe some one who actually knows can pick this up ;)

 P.S. Jeff, did you get my e-mail?

 - 13 September 2010 21:58

 Thank you, Antony. I'll take a closer look at my code.

 PS. I don't see an email from you, but I welcome it ... send it to JEFFREY DOT FERGUSON AT GMAIL DOT COM for fastest results (note that its jeffREY and not jeffERY).

 Anthony's answer is correct -- this is the request-reply port. The receive method returns a correlator, which is a generic type. (This is why you really want to use 'var' here and not write the type explicitly -- it is rather unwieldy)

KDOT Hosts First Round of Public Open Houses
In January 2015, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) hosted the first set of public open houses to gather input regarding the Route 92 Centennial Bridge Study. The open houses were held the evenings of January 14 at the Platte County Community Center and January 15 at the Riverfront Community Center in Leavenworth. Approximately 140 citizens attended the open houses. KDOT and the study team members presented maps and general information to help inform attendees and answer their questions. Eighty-eight citizens provided written comments on an open-ended comment form designed to gather general input. The majority of written comments focused on tolling, bicycle/pedestrian accommodations, and general preferences on the construction of a replacement bridge.
Of the written comments received, about half mentioned support for bicycle/pedestrian accommodations to be included on a new bridge. As a result, the bridge concept moving forward will include a 10-foot shared-use path on one side of the bridge with a concrete safety barrier between the path and vehicular lanes. Specifics such as a funded plan for connectivity to existing trails, maintenance of the shared-use path, and potential need for cost sharing will be determined with the cooperation of local government â€" Platte County, Leavenworth County and the City of Leavenworth.
Of those who provided written comments regarding tolling, about half expressed concerns and the other half indicated they could be in favor of tolling with some conditions. Conditions cited included reasonable rates, compatibility with current K-TAG system, keeping tolling revenue local, using tolling as a last resort, and the suggestion to start tolling now. Those who questioned the implementation of tolling to fund the bridge cited reasons such as cost to residents and commuters, affect on where retirees and military choose to live, and negative impact on small businesses and federal employees.
Of those who made general comments about the bridge, there was significant support for a new four-lane structure located roughly in the same location. A recurring request was to keep the bridge open to traffic during the construction of a new bridge.
In addition to comments received at the public open houses and via email, the study team is meeting with area representatives of local governments and other stakeholder groups for input. For additional information, visit the KDOT Kansas City Metro Area Projects & Studies page.


[squeak-dev] Re: Generators in Smalltalk??
Ralph Boland rpboland at gmail.com
Wed Feb 10 20:04:28 UTC 2010
(Warning, long post)
I do not understand all the commotion over generators.
If a Collection class cannot do what you want, use a Stream.
Take a read only Stream and subclass from it a class called GenMyData.
Inside GenMyData write code that generates the data you
need on the fly and feeds it to the user upon request using
the ReadStream interface.
Perhaps there should be an Abstract class "Generator" that
is a subclass of Stream to provide some generic generator functionality.
What exactly do Python generators provide that my proposal does not?
And is not my interface cleaner?
And more adaptable?
We could generalize this idea to that of a Pipe. A Pipe would be
a generalization (subclass) of a ReadWriteStream. A Pipe can accept
data using the WriteStream interface. The Pipe
can then process the data in some way and then feed the result
to the user upon request using the ReadStream interface.
A pipe is more complicated than a generator because it needs to
be able to block. If data is being fed into it but not being taken out
then eventually it may fill up. Similarly, if data is being removed
from it, then it may run out of data and again need to block.
Blocking may mean a process blocks or it may mean sending a message
to another pipe to send or accept data. I have not worked out the details.
Given how useful pipes are in Linux, I think a Generic Pipe class
would be VERY useful. Of particular use would be operators such
as '<<', '||', '>>', and tee. These operators would provide functionality
similar to what Linux does with pipes.
The '<<' operator would pass the argument (a ReadStream, Generator,
or Pipe) to the receiver which would use it as if it were a ReadStream.
The '>>' operator would pass the argument (a WriteStream or Pipe)
to the receiver which would use it as if it were a WriteStream.
I guess we need another concept here, the reverse of a generator, which accepts
data like a WriteStream, does some processing with the data, and keeps
the result.
Let's call this an Absorber.
The '||' operator (assuming that receiver is a ReadStream, Generator,
or Pipe) requires that the argument to be a WriteStream, Absorber, or Pipe.
The result of the operation is an Absorber, a Generator, or a Pipe depending
upon the classes of the receiver and operand.
If the receiver is a Generator (or ReadStream)
and the argument is an Absorber (or WriteSteam)
then the actual calculation is triggered and the result is an Absorber
(or WriteStream) which holds the final result of the computation.
Actually, whenever the first argument is a Generator (or ReadStream), the
computation could be triggered but it would eventually block if the second
argument is a Pipe.
The Tee class is a generalization (subclass) of class Pipe. it is
instanciated with a
collection argument where the elements of the collection are WriteStreams,
Absorbers, Pipes, or Tees. The Tee class will forward the results of its
computation to each of the elements of the collection.
I suppose there could be the reverse of a Tee, ReverseTee,
which accepts input from any of a collection of ReadStreams, Pipes, or
ReadStreams, Generators, and Pipes have a method tee: aCollection
which creates a Tee instance and connects it to the receiver.
I am sure there are numerous objects that make sense as Generators, Absorbers
and Pipes. For example Random number generators should be Generators.
Wow! Wasn't that insightful!
e.g. An instances of class Prime could be a Generator from which prime numbers
can be fetched. It would store the first 10,000 primes, say,
and generate further primes requested on demand.
e.g. Class PrimeFactors could be instanciated with a number which the instance
factors. The instance would be a Generator from which can be fetched
the factors of the initial number in sorted order.
e.g. An instance of Class Sum could be an Absorber that stores the sum of the
objects (numbers, vectors, matrices, etc.) fed to it.
e.g. An instance of Class TextToLines could be a Pipe which acts like a
WriteSteam of text and a ReadStream of lines of text.
That is, it is fed text one character at a time and
the same text can be fetched from it one line at a time.
Is that is confusing? I think some terminology needs to be standardized
here so we know what we are talking about.
I have always wanted to implement Pipes in Smalltalk but have never found the
time. I think it could be a fun project and VERY useful.
Exercise: Write code in Smalltalk to copy a file to another file assuming the
first file exists and is readable and the second file can be created
and written.
That is, ignore any error possibilities.
Then do the same exercise using a pipe. (Don't implement the '||' operator,
we only want to look at the code to see which is simpler.
You could create an infinite loop by linking a sequence of pipes into a loop.
Is this always a bug?
How would the computation be triggered in this case?
Is the hierarchy all wrong?
Should Absorber and Generator be subclasses of Pipe (i.e. pipes with
some functionality removed?) and ReadStreams and WriteStreams be
subclasses of Generator and Absorber respectively. This is reopening
the controversy of what is the best hierarchy for stream only worse. :-(
Pragmatically speaking, I think Absorbers, Generators, and Pipes, should
have a separate hierarchy than Streams but, of course, share interface.
So whatayaall think?
Frankly I think the biggest problem is that pipes would be altogether too
convenient; they would encourage writing code that is easy to write but
have too high an overhead because of the need to deal with blocking.
That is, pipes require good judgment, or that performance not be an issue.
If your code is too slow and some pipes you are using is the problem then
rewrite that code, perhaps avoiding the pipes.
While I do not have the time to do this project on my own
I could probably spare some time to help out if a group
could form to do this. Besides I am sure other could add much insight.
Note that this project involves more than creating the Abstract classes
Generator, Absorber and Pipe. These three classes would be the
head of Class hierarchies just like Stream is.
I don't know what the subclasses would be though.
Pipe might have a subclass BufferedPipe.
Also, I hasten to point out that many classes would simply implement the
Pipe, Generator, or Absorber interface and not actually be subclasses
of either of these classes.
Interesting question: Are there classes in Squeak that implement the
ReadStream, WriteStream, or ReadWriteStream interfaces now but are not
a subclasses of these classes?
If not, should there be?
That is, are there classes in Squeak that should implement these interfaces?
In the Java world, Pipe, Generator, and Absorber would be Interfaces.
I don't like Java much but Interfaces I liked.
Regards, to those of you still here.

In order to calculate the distance from two points in polar coordinates, we use the polar coordinates distance formula. In order to derive the polar coordinates distance formula, we use the law of cosines. We can also use the polar coordinates distance formula to help us come up with the polar equation for a circle centered at the origin.
I want to derive the distance formula in polar coordinates and to do this I'm going to need to recall the law of cosines. If you have a triangle, it's not necessarily a right triangle and you know three, two sides and the angle between them, you can find the third side using this formula, c squared equals a squared plus b squared minus 2ab cosine theta. And again a and b are the 2 known sides, theta's the angle between them.
Alright. Let's look at our picture here. I've graphed 2 points in polar coordinates. One is r1 theta 1, the other's r2 theta 2. I want to fi nd the distance between these points. Now in order to do this I need the length of these 2 sides and I need this angle. Now r2 theta 2 is r2 away from the origin, so that gives me this length as r2. And r1 theta 1 is r1 away from the origin. Theta 2 represents the angle that this point makes with the positive x axis and theta 1 is the angle this would make with the positive x axis. So this angle between them is going to be theta 2 minus theta 1.
So I have 2 sides and the angle between them and I'm ready to use the law of cosines to derive the distance formula. So the distance formula looks like this. d squared equals r1 squared plus r2 squared minus twice the product r1 and r2. 2 r1 r2 times the cosine of the angle between them which is theta 2 minus theta 1. That's it, that's the distance formula. Now obviously you'll take the square root over the result but it's basically in the form of the law of cosines and we'll use this to find the distance between 2 points in polar coordinates.

Improvement plan for private hospital
The Problem: Weak profitability of a key asset within a private hospital portfolio
Our client, a leading UK Private Hospital Operator, had identified an underperforming asset within its network, and approached Credo for support in determining why the hospital was operating at below its target revenue and target margin, and for support in identifying measures to improve the financial performance.
Our Approach: Review of utilisation and profitability, development and impact modelling of potential improvement scenarios
The hospital was believed to be underutilised, with a mixture of procedures and specialties – some of which were believed to be far more profitable than others. Our approach therefore involved supporting the development of a cost allocation model that calculated the profitability of individual procedures, and undertaking a review of hospital utilisation by key department and specialty.
This allowed us to identify procedures or groups of procedures that were low margin and / or resource intensive. We worked closely with hospital management to understand the interdependencies between procedures, specialties, funder groups and individual surgeons and the risks associated with realigning the activity-mix of the hospital. We worked with the client to develop a number of potential scenarios for the hospital going forwards, and we modelled the financial impact of each, allowing the creation of a performance improvement plan.
The Result: Strong understanding of current performance, improvement plan created
The findings of the profitability review were embraced by Clinical and Non-clinical Hospital Management, and a process to realign the activity-mix of the hospital and review options for the development of adjacent services was undertaken.

Hydraulics e.g. extruders
Hydraulics E.G. Extruders
Many industrial fires are caused by oil spray from a high pressure hydraulic fluid leak. The leak can create an atomized spray that may project up to 40 ft (12 m) from the release point. Pressurized sprays produce small droplets that are ignited at temperatures below the normal flash point.
Typical features for hydraulics are:
- A variety of false alarm sources may occur.
- High ventilation rates may be present.
- Be sure to monitor the drainage areas.
- Sprinklers will have little effect on an oil spray fire but will at least cool the adjacent materials.
- Use the alarm signal of the flame detector for a shut-down of the high pressure pump.
Detector choice: recommended IR3 Flame Detectors.


Peter Grimes
opera by Benjamin Britten
Peter Grimes is an opera by Benjamin Britten. It was first performed in 1945. It is generally thought to be the most important British opera of the 20th century. It is about a community in a small fishing village in the east of England in the 1820s. Peter Grimes is a fisherman who feels that the people do not want to have anything to do with him. He wants to make lots of money so that he can marry and get people's respect. In his obsession with catching as much fish as possible he is cruel to the boys who help him (his apprentices), and they die. At the end of the opera Grimes drowns himself.
Britten wrote the main part (Peter Grimes) for his life partner Peter Pears to sing.
There are three acts, and the opera starts with a prologue and ends with an epilogue. Some of the scenes are joined by continuous music, and some of this is often played separately in concerts. This music is known as the Four Sea Interludes.
History of its compositionEdit
When World War II started Britten and Pears went to America to avoid the war. In 1941 Britten started to feel homesick because he read an article by E.M.Forster about George Crabbe, a poet who had lived in the same part of England that Britten came from. Britten started to realize that, in order to compose well, he had to go back to his own country. Britten and Pears returned to England in 1942.
The conductor Sergei Koussevitzky asked Britten to write an opera based on a poem by George Crabbe. The poem, called "The Borough", was about the story of Peter Grimes. The village in the poem was fictitious, but it was very much like Aldeburgh where Britten later made his home. Britten asked Montagu Slater to write the libretto based on the story of Crabbe's poem.
The opera was first performed at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London on 7 June 1945 by the company which later became English National Opera. The conductor was Reginald Goodall. Pears sang the title role.
The first American performance was in 1946 at Tanglewood conducted by Koussevitzky's pupil, Leonard Bernstein. Britten dedicated it to Koussevitsky's wife.

John, Grimes' apprentice silent role Leonard Thompson
The first young boy who was an apprentice to Peter Grimes has already been killed. He was at sea for three days without water to drink. An inquest is being held to decide whether Grimes is guilty of the boy's death. The people all seem to think he is guilty. The judge decides that the boy's death was an accident. However, he says to Grimes that he should not get another apprentice. Grimes is very angry at being told this. Ellen Orford, a school teacher, comforts him. In their beautiful duet Ellen and Peter sing at first in different keys, but finally sing together in the same key.
Act 1Edit
The scenery shows the Moot Hall, the Boar Inn (the village pub) and the church. People are saying "Good morning" to one another, especially the Slave Master who says it many times. The fishermen start work mending their nets. Keene tells Grimes that he has found another apprentice for him. He is a poor boy who lives in the workhouse. Nobody wants Grimes to have another apprentice. Hobson, the cart man, refuses to fetch him. But Ellen supports Peter. She sings to the crowd: "Let her among you without fault cast the first stone" (meaning: "You all have faults so do not criticize"). Hobson goes off to get the boy. A terrible storm is coming.
The scene now changes to The Boar Inn. It is very noisy inside. Bob Boles gets drunk and wants to make love to the landlady's nieces. The storm is still raging outside. Grimes comes in. People are shocked, but Grimes does not notice. He sings and song about human fate: "Now the Great Bear and Pleiades". The tune is in the orchestra in canon while Grimes sings very simple lines of music. People are embarrassed, so they start to sing a round: "Old Joe has gone fishing". It has three tunes and has seven counts in a bar. The boy is brought in and Grimes takes him off in spite of the storm.
Act 2Edit
The opening of the next act is peaceful. It is Sunday morning. People are in church, and now again we hear the singing coming from the church. Ellen talks to the boy. She is horrified to see he has a bruise on his neck. Grimes says it was an accident. He gets annoyed that Ellen is worried about the boy and runs off with him. The people of the village have noticed and march up to Grimes's hut. The scene ends with a peaceful contrast: a duet sung by the two nieces.
The orchestra play a beautiful passacaglia which links to the next scene. Grimes is accusing the boy of "telling stories". Then he starts to feels guilty about the first boy's death. He hears the villagers coming and tells the boy they have to go fishing. He pushes him out onto the rocks and the boy falls to his death. When the villagers arrive at the hut they find it empty.
Act 3Edit
Act 3 opens with music describing moonlight at night. People are dancing in the Moot Hall. People are very merry. Mrs. Sedley tries to tell people that Grimes is a murderer, but they do not listen. People then start to leave, saying "Goodnight" to one another (especially the Rector). Balstrode is walking with Ellen. He tells her that Grimes's boat is in, but Grimes cannot be found. A boy's jersey has been washed up on the shore. Ellen sings an aria "Embroidery in childhood was a luxury of idleness". It is a moment of stillness in the drama.
A short interlude based on one chord leads to the next scene in which people are looking for Grimes. Grimes drags himself onto the shore. He seems to have gone mad. We hear a foghorn (played by an off-stage tuba) as he sings. Balstrode tells Grimes that he should go out to sea in his boat and sink it.
The opera ends with an epilogue in which the scene is the same as the beginning of the opera. Someone says that a boat has been seen sinking out to sea, but no one is interested. The people have forgotten Grimes, and continue their lives without him.

Appcell Storage
Depending on the business needs and preferences, some AppCell plugins may require their own data storage. This is done through ETCD storage.
Plugins, such as cPanel and Plesk do require the use of having their own storage, as they include data such as their location, IDs, DNS, ID security, login information, etc. Most often the Plugin must write/update its data. Having security in mind, it is best not to allow the plugin access to the main database (Billia). Rather, an alternative mechanism is offered as a recommendation to use for storage - the ETCD storage.
What is ETCD storage
ETCD is a type of a distributed key-value storage, which provides a reliable way to store data. It can then be accessed by a distributed system or a cluster of machines. Applications of any complexity can read data from and write data into ETCD.
ETCD also includes a vast library for the more popular programming languages - JavaScript, Python, Java, C++, Swift, SQL, Ruby, etc.
Why use ETCD storage
Using ETCD is a more simplified process for storage than most. Other options may include more complicated methods for storage and data distribution, such as e.g. using relational databases with a complex structure. The ETCD storage, on the other hand, works with predefined credentials used to access a personal "sent box" in the storage space, where the data for the specific plugin is kept.
Moreover, each plugin that is being installed, would be provided with its own separate ETCD sent box. These ETCD sent boxes also have security, where one Cell cannot access or read the data of another Cell. This way passwords, login and server information cannot be accessed or taken without authorization.
One Cell can access its own storage and read its own data only. But AppCell is the only software able to access and read all Cells' data.
How it works
When a Cell is in the process of being installed, the four Appcell installation files are used: Appcell.json, Plugins.json, Resources.json and Settings.json.
In the installation file AppCell.json, "etcd": ">=3.0" can be specified, which means that during that installation process an ETCD storage is automatically created, with the dedicated database, username, Cell name, and password. It will provide the ETCD host name, password and available access.
"appcell": {
 "etcd": {
 "username": "examplecell",
 "password": "L8bw8BS7jcpkmF1t",
 "access": "/examplecell/*"
Inside this storage is where the application can be configured and where it can read and write its data when changes occur.
In the case ETCD is not requested in the AppCell.json installation file, no such will be created.
Two methods of work are present in regards to assigning/creating an ETCD storage.
 1. Either a personal ETCD storage will be automatically created during the installation of the Cell, or;
 2. A specified API, called AppCellSentboxStorage, can be used instead, which will generate pre-set testing storage boxes. These boxes are available for the application while it's being developed. During that time, data can still be written in it and when it's time - it can be easily erased.

Learning and waiting
From the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, I'm Ira Dreyfuss with HHS HealthBeat.
Forming a family happens with some people later than with others. At the National Center for Family and Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, researchers say people with at least a bachelor's degree were least likely to form a family before age 25, and those with a high school equivalency diploma were most likely.
Researcher Susan Brown:
''Clearly, education appears to have a significant effect on family formation experiences, slowing down that process of either forming a union or having a birth.'' (10 seconds)
The researchers expect more delays, partly because people often don't want to marry until they are economically set.
The study was supported by HHS' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.

With the increasing tendency of information technology (IT) applications, knowledge integration in organization has emerged as an important research topic for both practitioners and researchers, reflecting the magnitude and impact of knowledge resource in distributed environments. Practically, data, information, and knowledge are transmitted via various media, and integration capability is the antecedent of knowledge integration in organizations. However, few literatures research knowledge integration from the comprehensive perspective of transmission media and integration capability. As a complement to previous research, this study proposes a comprehensive theoretical model of knowledge integration (KIM) by incorporating valuable perspectives of media characteristics and organizational capability. This research model provides a new lens for knowledge integration based on transmission media in organizations by integrating relevant research streams. Furthermore, this robust and new model, which has been applied to a knowledge integration practice of e-commerce platform, can be used to explain the most knowledge integration phenomenon in contemporary society.

On the origin of the multiple melting observed after izothermal crystallization
of homogeneous ethylene/1-octene copolymers (in English)
Polimery 2004, No 6, 414
Summary
The complex melting behavior of homogeneous ethylene/1-octene copolymer isothermally crystallized at 93oC was studied by means of DSC and time resolved SAXS and WAXS. Two melting peaks, observed in DSC during heating after the isothermal crystallization, point to the existence of two populations of crystals of different thermal stability. This hypothesis is confronted and supported with the results of SAXS and WAXS investigations. Two populations of crystals are created due to segregation of more branched (of higher 1-octene content) parts of copolymer chains into separate areas in the melt. More stable crystals, melting at higher temperatures, are formed at the beginning of crystallization. Less stable ones originate later in the areas enriched with 1-octene, segregated away from the growth front during primary crystallization. No evidences on the existence of isolated fringed micellar crystallites were found. The crystals of each group are of lamellar type. All lamellae show the same thickness. The difference in their thermal stability, as revealed by two melting peaks in DSC curves, most probably results from different state of their basal surfaces.
Keywords: homogeneous copolymers, ethylene/1-octene copolymers, morphology, isothermal crystallization, multiple melting, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorymetry

Babies & Hatchlings
Crested gecko babies are barely an inch in length when they hatch and their care is very similar to adults. There are just a few subtle differences in the care of crested gecko hatchlings that involve handling, enclosures, feeding and shedding. Watching them grow and become healthy, mature pets is enjoyable for many keepers.
The crested gecko hatches between 60 and 100 days. If they are exposed to lower temperatures, the hatch time will increase. This is actually beneficial to the gecko, as a longer hatch time will produce a healthier and stronger reptile. On the contrary, higher temperatures will result in a shorter incubation time and the hatchlings will be weak due to rapid development.
New Home Placement
Once the baby crested geckos hatch, they should be transferred to a small enclosure that is outfitted simply with paper towels as substrate. A few branches and plants should be placed in the enclosure to make them feel secure, but not so much to block your view or make it difficult for the hatchling to find its food.
Crested gecko hatchlings will generally not begin eating until after their first shed, which takes place 2-3 days after hatching. They are sustained on the nutrition from their yoke sack. The new gecko should be observed to make sure its first shed is complete. Misting them and their enclosure twice a day will help.
Once they have shed, crested gecko babies can be fed 1/8" crickets or the Crested Gecko Diet (CGD). To encourage them to eat, you can put a small drop of food on the gecko's nose and let them lick it off. Crickets should be gut-loaded or coated with a supplement powder to ensure that the baby gecko gets the required nutrition.
Handle With Care
Baby crested geckos should not be handled right away. This can cause them stress. They are very skittish and can quickly get away, possibly causing themselves injury. Give them one to two weeks' time to acclimate to their new surroundings and limit handling to five minutes per day. It is best to handle them while sitting so that if they jump away they will not have far to fall.
Crested gecko babies are very small and delicate. They are also very skittish and should be cared for gently. When acquiring crested gecko hatchlings, you will take much pleasure in watching them grow and become more comfortable and secure in their new environment. In four months, they will have reached their juvenile stage and can be transferred to a larger enclosure. During that time, take good care of them and watch them thrive.
Crested Gecko Baby Care
Caring for the babies is easy but requires attention to their handling, housing, proper feeding and shedding of their skin.


From this question on Physics SE Thermodynamics of evaporation:
The accepted answer shows a kinetic perspective. I want to understand things from classical thermodynamics. As even an inert gas is added to the container, there would be some increase of configurational entropy in the gaseous phase compared to the initial conditions. Won't this factor will decrease the chemical potential of the gaseous phase and thus increase the vapour pressure a bit?.
If the nitrogen is truly inert, its presence will have no direct effect on the chemical potential of the water in the gas phase. Essentially, the gaseous water is "unaware" of the nitrogen. Consistent with this, in a mixture of ideal gases, the chemical potential of each gas is determined only by the temperature, and its partial pressure. It is indepenent of the partial pressures of the other gases.
However, even an ideal gas can increase the vapor pressure. It doesn't do so by reducing the chemical potential of the gaseous water. Rather, by applying pressure to the liquid water, it increases the chemical potential of the liquid phase, thus increasing the equilibrium vapor pressure. This is a small effect.
Of course, gases aren't inert. As you increase the pressure of the nitrogen, you have two opposing effects on the liquid water: (1) The effect described above, which increases the liquid's chemical potential. (2) With increased pressure, the concentration of nitrogen dissolved in the water will increase, which will lower the water's chemical potential. And of course one also has to account for the non-ideal interactions between the nitrogen and the water vapor.
 - $\begingroup$ Even if Nitrogen is inert it will surely affect the configurational entropy of the gaseous phase of water? $\endgroup$ Jun 5 at 9:38
 - $\begingroup$ If we treat both the nitrogen and the water as ideal gases, then their configurational entropies are each independent of the presence of the other gas. $\endgroup$

 Jun 5 at 10:00
 - $\begingroup$ You're probably thinking: If we have a container in which we have 1 L of ideal gas A on the left side at 1 atm, and 1 L of ideal gas B on the right side at 1 atm, and we remove the partition to allow them to mix, their entropies will increase. Yes, but that's because each now has twice the volume to explore (correspondingly, their partial pressures are halved). But suppose we instead squeeze A and B together into a 1 L space, such that their partial pressures don't change (only the total pressure changes). Then their entropies will be unchanged. $\endgroup$
 – theorist
 Jun 5 at 10:08
 - $\begingroup$ I am trying and the derivative is not cancelling out for a closed container with a fixed amount of inert gas. It is something like 1-ln(x), x = Ratio of moles of water vapour with Inert gas. $\endgroup$ Jun 5 at 10:08
 - $\begingroup$ No, I am using xln(x) + yln(y)...x and y mole fraction in the gaseous phase $\endgroup$ Jun 5 at 10:18
At $\pu{46°C}$, the vapor pressure of water in $\pu{0.1 atm}$. It means that if some water is introduced into a vacuum, in an empty container at $\pu{46°C}$, the measured pressure in the container is $\pu{0.1 atm}$. Now if water is heated to $\pu{46°C}$ in an open flask at $\pu{1 atm}$., the composition of the vapor phase is $10$% water vapor, $90$% air. The vapor pressure is the same above the surface of water, whatever the presence of air. The total pressure has to be maintained at 1 atm. of course.
 - $\begingroup$ There will be a factor of ΔSmix and its derivative will not be zero if we fix the inert gas amount in a closed container. That's why asked. $\endgroup$ Jun 5 at 9:35

The PC monitor can be a good alternative HD display for those who already own a large LCD monitor but not a HDTV or have no room for a HDTV. This article explains some of the technical issues connecting your PS3 to a LCD monitor.
1. Monitor Size
The size of your monitor usually determines the resolution it can output. The maximum resolution of the monitor is important as it determines the HD output it can support. The monitor must be able to display a resolution of at least 1280x720 for 720p output and at least a resolution of 1920x1080 for 1080p output. This usually means that 19"-22" widescreen monitors can support up to 720p output while those 24" and above can support up to 1080p.
One thing to note is that most PC monitors are 16:10 aspect ratio while HD output resolutions are 16:9 aspect ratio. This slight difference results in the picture being stretched slightly vertically to fill the entire screen. Some monitors have settings to correct this such as 1:1 pixel mapping or aspect mode, allowing the picture to be displayed in 16:9 aspect ratio with two small black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
HDCP must be supported by your monitor in order for it to output video from the PS3. This is more of an issue with older monitors as most new monitors out there support HDCP.
3. Monitor Inputs
Most monitors have both a VGA and DVI input, with more and more models supporting HDMI input. VGA cable output is not officially supported on the PS3, so the use of third party VGA cables is not recommended and can be costly. For connecting to the PS3, HDMI is the preferred mode of connection as all you need is a simple HDMI cable. Monitors without HDMI input will need a HDMI to DVI cable. DVI input is basically similar to HDMI, but without the sound signal.
Some higher end models support component input, but since those models also have HDMI and DVI inputs, they should be preferred over component as the image quality is better. If you are looking for cables, Play-Asia has a decent HDMI cable here and HDMI to DVI cable here.
Because most monitors do not have speakers, you'll need a way to connect your speakers for sound. This is one of the main issues when hooking up your PS3 to your PC monitor. If you have a receiver, you can hook it up with a HDMI or optical cable for sound. Some higher end speakers support optical input as well. You can get a cheap optical cable here. For most people however, the easiest way is to use the RCA cables that came with the PS3 to connect your speakers. You may need a 3.5mm to RCA F adapter cable to connect those cables to 3.5mm audio jack input speakers.
Finally, when everything is connected. You'll need to configure your PS3 to output video and sound on the correct cables. The configuration settings can be found under System Settings, one for Video and another for Audio. The process should be self explanatory.
Is Buying a HDTV Better?
Hooking up your PS3 to your PC monitor is slightly more difficult than hooking it up to a TV because of the separate video and sound signals, so it is not recommended for everyone. Monitors are also smaller than TVs and may not be suitable for playing at a distance. It is more suited for people who already own a large monitor and want it to double up as a PS3 display instead of buying a HDTV. In those cases, the investment of a few cheap cables make it worthwhile.

class="wiki"> from django.db import model class Payment(models.Model): #... ccy_code = models.CharField(max_length=3) In my python code I refer to the currency code as follows: p = Payment() #... print p.ccy_code Later, I decide to actually create a "Currency" table to hold some information about currencies. And I also decide to define a foreign key constraint from "Payment" to "Currency". My model now looks like: from django.db import model class Currency(models.Model): ccy_code = models.CharField(max_length=3, primary_key=True) #... class Payment(models.Model): #... ccy = models.ForeignKey(Currency, to_field="ccy_code", db_column="ccy_code") The problem here is that my existing Python code is broken, because "ccy_code" is not defined anymore for "Payment". Django has instead define a "ccy_id" attribute. Based on the principle that defining things like foreign keys should only add functionality (and not remove any) it seems quite important to me that one can choose the id attribute name. This can be achieved by adding an optional keyword argument to ForeignKey/OneToOneField constructors (here I decided to call it "id_attr_name"). The implementation of this feature is pretty small and fully backward-compatible. Here is the SVN diff against trunk: Index: =================================================================== --- (revision 10924) +++ (working copy) @@ -660,6 +660,7 @@ class ForeignKey(RelatedField, Field): empty_strings_allowed = False def __init__(self, to, to_field=None, rel_class=ManyToOneRel, **kwargs): + self.__id_attr_name = kwargs.pop('id_attr_name', None) try: to_name = to._meta.object_name.lower() except AttributeError: # to._meta doesn't exist, so it must be RECURSIVE_RELATIONSHIP_CONSTANT @@ -679,7 +680,10 @@ self.db_index = True def get_attname(self): - return '%s_id' % + if self.__id_attr_name: + return self.__id_attr_name + else: + return '%s_id' % def get_validator_unique_lookup_type(self): return '%s__%s__exact' % (, self.rel.get_related_field().name) In my example, I could then define my model like: from django.db import model class Currency(models.Model): ccy_code = models.CharField(max_length=3, primary_key=True) #... class Payment(models.Model): #... ccy = models.ForeignKey(Currency, to_field="ccy_code", db_column="ccy_code", id_attr_name="ccy_code") Results #11482: Add Google map events handling Wed, 15 Jul 2009 14:53:51 GMT kapa77 Now only Markers can have events added, there should be possibility to add events to map also.

Results #11590: REQUEST: Give LabelCommand an option for default behavior (when no labels are specified) Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:03:03 GMT maaku The LabelCommand class is handy, but I've found circumstances where I need a default behavior when no labels are specified on the command line. For example, when specifying directories os.getcwd() provides a reasonable default and a convenient shorthand. Unless I missed something, implementing these commands required reimplementing LabelCommand.handle with the default hard coded in. Obviously violates DRY. Suggestion: Add field "default_label" to LabelCommand with value "None" Switch (line 317-318 in django/trunk/django/core/management/ if not labels: raise CommandError('Enter at least one %s.' % self.label) to if not labels: if not self.default_label raise CommandError('Enter at least one %s.' % self.label) else: labels = [self.default_label] or something similar.

Fore example then the display projection is sett to 4326 (wgs83 standard lon/lat) and the map projection is sett to 900913 (the "google projection"). Then it is reasonable to expect the default position to be in the display projection and not the map projection. The supplied patch checks to see if the display_projection is sett, if it is then adds a transformation call (from display projection to map projection) when the default position is used, in the openlayers.js Results #11642: Specify default namespace in Thu, 06 Aug 2009 01:34:43 GMT mrmachine The new URL namespace feature is great, but could be made a little easier to use by allowing a default namespace to be defined as a variable in the urls module being included (e.g. namespace). This could be looked up by Django automatically if no namespace is specified when the urls module is included, in the same way that urlpatterns is looked up. In myapp/: namespace ='myapp' urlpatterns('myapp', url('^$', 'index', name='index'), ) In myproject/: urlpatterns('', url(r'^myapp/$', include('myapp.urls')), ) In your templates: {% url myapp:index %} The benefit here is that users will not need to specify a namespace for every app in their urls module to avoid clashes with commonly named urls (e.g. "index"), unless they are deploying multiple instances of the same app, which I would have thought is the less common case. At the moment I believe the only way to specify a default namespace (like the admin app does) is to define a three item tuple somewhere in myapp which contains urlpatterns from myapp.urls plus app and instance namespaces. But this can't be referenced by a simple string like the urls module can, it must be imported directly before being used. It also seems a little messy and counter-intuitive asking users to import and include myapp.urls.namespace or myapp.urls_namespace or something similar, instead of just importing or referencing the urls module.

Coos County, Oregon\nCoos County is a county located in the U.S. State of Oregon. It was named after a tribe of Native Americans who dwelt in the area of the future county. As of 2000, the population is 62,779.
|Table of contents|
5 Cities and towns
Economy\nDeposits of gold initially attracted people to the county in the nineteenth century. Between 1890 and 1910, large amounts of coal were mined in the county and shipped to California; production decreased after oil was discovered in that state, and no coal mines in the county have been in production since 1950. These coal fields have been explored for natural gas since 1938, and CDX Gas, a company based in Texas announced in 2003 that they would be drilling two test wells later that year.
Currently, forest products, tourism, fishing and agriculture dominate the Coos County economy. Boating, dairy farming, myrtlewood manufacturing, shipbuilding and repair and agriculture specialty products including cranberries, also play an important role. Untapped rich deposits of iron ore, and lead await development.
There are several port districts in the county: Port of Coos Bay founded in 1909, Port of Coquille River founded in 1912, and Port of Bandon founded in 1913. Coos Bay is considered the best natural harbor between San Francisco Bay and the Puget Sound, and the Port of Coos Bay is the largest forest products shipper in world.
Geography\nAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 4,678 km² (1,806 mi²). 4,145 km² (1,600 mi²) of it is land and 533 km² (206 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 11.40% water.
Demographics\nAs of the census2 of 2000, there are 62,779 people, 26,213 households, and 17,457 families residing in the county. The population density is 15/km² (39/mi²). There are 29,247 housing units at an average density of 7/km² (18/mi²). The racial makeup of the county is 91.97% White, 0.31% Black or African American, 2.41% Native American, 0.90% Asian, 0.17% Pacific Islander, 1.06% from other races, and 3.17% from two or more races. 3.40% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race.
There are 26,213 households out of which 26.00% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 52.90% are married couples living together, 9.90% have a female householder with no husband present, and 33.40% are non-families. 27.20% of all households are made up of individuals and 12.30% have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size is 2.34 and the average family size is 2.80.
In the county, the population is spread out with 21.90% under the age of 18, 7.10% from 18 to 24, 24.00% from 25 to 44, 27.80% from 45 to 64, and 19.10% who are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 43 years. For every 100 females there are 96.10 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 93.90 males.
The median income for a household in the county is $31,542, and the median income for a family is $38,040. Males have a median income of $32,509 versus $22,519 for females.

Out of the total people living in poverty, 19.90% are under the age of 18 and 9.40% are 65 or older.
History\nAlthough exploration and trapping in the area occurred as early as 1828, the first settlement was established at Empire City in 1853, now part of Coos Bay, Oregon, by members of the Coos Bay Company in 1853.
Coos County was created by the Territorial Legislature from parts of Umpqua County, Oregon and Jackson County, Oregon Counties on December 22, 1853. Curry County, Oregon was created from the southern part in 1855. The county seat was originally at Empire City. In 1895 the legislature permitted the citizens of the county to choose a new county seat. The 1896 vote resulted in moving the seat to Coquille.
The Territorial Legislature granted permission for the development of wagon roads from Coos Bay to Jacksonville, Oregon in 1854 and to Roseburg, Oregon in 1857.

Real-time kick detection by ultrasonic sensing
Research output: Thesis › Master's Thesis
The thesis generally describes the principals of Well Control, Kick Causes, the connected Drilling Mode Kick Frequency and Kick Morphology. The different kick detection approaches (Classic Kick Detection [CKD], Early Kick Detection [EKD]) are described in detail based on kick indicators, utilized detection techniques and measurement technologies. Based on the acquired knowledge, Real-Time Kick Detection approach is proposed through a general overview of the working principles and interpretation of the involved parameters and circumstances. A description on the physics of ultrasound (wave characteristics, propagation, attenuation, effects of pressure and temperature), ultrasonic sensing (sensing principals, transducers, operation modes) and description about the specific device (Ultrasonic Test Package [UTP]), which has been partly utilized and modified to conduct kick detection experiments, is also provided. This includes its components (Ultrasonic Sensor Package and Artificial Wellbore) and characteristics (hardware and software, data acquisition and interpretation). Ultrasonic Sensor Package (USP) is assessed for Real-Time Kick Detection purpose through experiments. Assessment is carried out by experiments with water and drilling mud (at ambient conditions) both, with and without gas injection. Results and evaluation is categorized by experiment goals: smallest distance between transducers, effect of liquid movement on captured data and effect of gas injection on data pattern. Evaluation of results show that kick detection is possible by the current setup as deviations from established data patterns can be categorized into flow movement and gas influx caused deviations.

There is one way to do PC to PC Networking Chat. It is by using IP Messenger Or ip msg on LAN. Most offices use this tool to chat their employees in the office. And i am one of them.
To use IP Messenger First we have to Setup a LAN Connection. Now Local Area Network can be made between 2 or more PC. We can easily connect two PC by using LAN cable and setup Local Area Network. But if we want to setup LAN between more PC than we need Router.
I am telling You how to setup a LAN between 2 PC.
Firstly connect the LAN cable between 2 PC's.
Step 1. Go to Network and Sharing Center.
Step 2. On Left side click on "Change adapter Setting".
Step 3. Right Click on "Local Area Network" and click on Properties.
Step 4. Click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click Properties.
Step 5. Click on "Use the following IP Address" and Enter Following IP Address in respective fields.
Step 6. Click Ok and again Ok.
Same steps repeat in another PC and enter the Following IP Addresses in respective Fields.
IP Address: 10.101.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway: 10.101.2.2
Preferred DNS Server: 10.101.2.2
Now your LAN Connection setup perfectly.
What it is an IP Messenger? IP Messenger is the tool which provides one of the greatest feature to chat with other persons on LAN or network. But the most important thing is that same software is installed on both systems which is a IPMsg.
We can also chat through command prompt. The command is:
ipmsg.exe [port] /MSG [/LOG][/SEAL] <hostname or IPaddr> <message>
Ex: C:> ipmsg.exe /MSG /SEAL localhost Hello
It is an excellent software which we are using in office without any problem. It provides us an easy solution because it's fast and we don't get any complaints from our mail servers too. So if you are looking for a chat software which works on a LAN, this could be your answer and it's free.
Here is some images of IP Messenger:


Copper Rockfish
Copper Rockfish
Sebastes caurinus
Physical Description
The Copper Rockfish, scientifically known as Sebastes caurinus, boasts a deep-bodied stature, ranging from 30 to 66 centimeters in length. Its distinctive appearance is characterized by golden brown and cream markings, accentuated by a sharp-edged rectangular clear area along the posterior two-thirds of its lateral line. Notably, a horizontal pale yellow bar sits behind its eye, adding to its striking features.
Habitat
Preferring the deeper realms at the outer edges of kelp forests, the Copper Rockfish is moderately common along the eastern Pacific coast. It navigates the intricate underwater landscapes with ease, utilizing its keen sense of environment to thrive amidst the diverse marine ecosystems.
Geographical Range
From the coastal waters of British Columbia to the southern reaches of California, the Copper Rockfish inhabits a significant portion of the eastern Pacific coast. Within this expansive range, it finds suitable habitats in the temperate waters where it can fulfill its ecological niche.
What They Eat
Copper Rockfish are skilled predators, preying upon a variety of smaller fishes, crustaceans, and zooplankton found within their habitat. Their diet reflects the rich biodiversity of the marine ecosystems they inhabit, contributing to the delicate balance of the underwater food web.

The Asian American community is the fastest growing minority in the United States and has a very significant impact on the U.S. economy. This means that as a business owner or C-level executive, you cannot afford to ignore this growing community, and more importantly, you should start thinking about positioning your marketing efforts in a way to attract potential customers in this segment of the whole American Market. Here are some of the main reasons why you should start creating tailor-made marketing campaigns to Asian Americans.
1. Fast Demographic Growth
Asian Americans are extremely diverse, coming from around 40 Asian countries, resulting in close to 6% of the entire American Population. From 2000 to 2010, the population of Asian Americans grew by roughly 46%, and that continues to grow. As they become a significant percentage of the entire U.S. population, there's no reasons for businesses not to engage in marketing activities especially targeted at this group of individuals.
2. Entrepreneurs and Business Owners
22% of the American startups valued at over $1 billion were founded by Asian Americans. They are entrepreneurs, inventors, and create jobs for other Americans in fast-growing companies and industries. According to the U.S. Census, between 2007 and 2012, businesses owned and operated by Asian Americans, grew by nearly 25%, and registered the highest growth of sales revenue (nearly 40%).
3. Highly Educated
Asian Americans tend to have a very high level of education. By norm, the Asian culture has work ethic and formal education as two very important pillars. 42% of all adults in this segment of the population have at a minimum a college degree, which is higher than any other group of the American population. Not to mention that they tend to score the highest GPAs both in high school and college.
4. Purchasing Power
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2014 the median Asian American wage was about $74,000 per year, this is over 30% more than that of a White American. They have the greatest purchasing power of the whole American Population, which means that they'll most definitely consume more, spend more money, invest more, this is all good for business.
If you're not tailoring your message to this hugely important segment of the American population you're definitely missing out. Asian Americans have the lowest rate of unemployment, great education and high purchasing power.

It's late, and you're still awake. Allow us to help with Sleep Aid, a new series devoted to curing insomnia with the dullest, most soporific prose available in the public domain. Tonight's prescription: "How Mechanical Rubber Goods Are Made," first published in the Scientific American Supplement on February 13, 1892.
While the manufacture of rubber goods is in no sense a secret industry, the majority of buyers and users of such goods have never stepped inside of a rubber mill, and many have very crude ideas as to how the goods are made up. In ordinary garden hose, for instance, the process is as follows: The inner tubing is made of a strip of rubber fifty feet in length, which is laid on a long zinc-covered table and its edges drawn together over a hose pole. The cover, which is of what is called "friction," that is cloth with rubber forced through its meshes, comes to the hose maker in strips, cut on the bias, which are wound around the outside of the tube and adhere tightly to it. The hose pole is then put in something like a fifty foot lathe, and while the pole revolves slowly, it is tightly wrapped with strips of cloth, in order that it may not get out of shape while undergoing the process of vulcanizing. When a number of these hose poles have been covered in this way they are laid in a pan set on trucks and are then run into a long boiler, shut in, and live steam is turned on. When the goods are cured steam is blown off, the vulcanizer opened and the cloths are removed. The hose is then slipped off the pole by forcing air from a compressor between the rubber and the hose pole. This, of course, is what is known as hose that has a seam in it.
For seamless hose the tube is made in a tubing machine and slipped upon the hose pole by reversing the process that is used in removing hose by air compression. In other words, a knot is tied in one end of the fifty foot tube and the other end is placed against the hose pole and being carefully inflated with air it is slipped on without the least trouble. For various kinds of hose the processes vary, and there are machines for winding with wire and intricate processes for the heavy grades of suction hose, etc. For steam hose, brewers', and acid hose, special resisting compounds are used, that as a rule are the secrets of the various manufacturers. Cotton hose is woven through machines expressly designed for that purpose, and afterward has a half-cured rubber tube drawn through it. One end is then securely stopped up and the other end forced on a cone through which steam is introduced to the inside of the hose, forcing the rubber against the cotton cover, finishing the cure and fixing it firmly in its place.
