The following is an editable list of toys that can be easily adapted for use with a switch by using a battery interrupter.
A battery interrupter is a simple device that can be inserted between batteries or between a battery and battery terminal and interrupts the circuit. The battery interrupter has a jack for an assistive switch. When the assistive switch is attached and activated, the circuit is complete and the toy can be activated.
In general, battery interrupters work well for toys that are:
Powered by standard batteries (e.g. AAA, AA, C, D) that are accessible through a cover AND
have a single function AND
have a slide power switch or a momentary switch that can be held down.
Battery interrupters can be made from simple materials or purchased commercially. There is currently one open source / DIY option in the MMC library:

Emergency Management is the discipline and profession of applying science, technology, planning, and management to deal with extreme events that can kill or injure large numbers of people, do extensive damage, and disrupt a community.
Mitigation refers to activities that actually eliminate or reduce the chance of occurrence or the effects of a disaster. Recent research has shown that much can be done to either prevent major emergencies or disasters from ever happening or if nothing else, at least reduce the damaging impact if they cannot be prevented.
The planning of how to respond in case an emergency or disaster occurs and working to increase resources available to respond effectively. Preparedness activities are designed to help save lives and minimize damage by preparing people to respond appropriately when an emergency is imminent. To respond properly, Gloucester County must have a plan for response, trained personnel to respond and necessary resources with which to respond.
Response is the activities occurring during and immediately after a disaster. These activities are designed to provide emergency assistance to victims of the event and reduce the likely hood of secondary damage. Gloucester County Office of Emergency Management, Gloucester County Police, and Local Fire, Police, and Emergency Medical Service providers are primary responders.
This is the final phase of the emergency management cycle. Recovery continues until all systems return to normal or near normal. Short term recovery returns vital life support systems to minimal operating standards. Long term recovery from a disaster may go on for years until the entire disaster area is completely redeveloped, either as it was in the past or for entirely new purposes that are less disaster-prone.

umview - User Mode implementation of View-OS
umview [ options ] prog
The main goal of the View-OS project is to give each process its own
view of the system resources. For example, each process can mount
filesystems or hide some file or directories. It is also possible to
assign virtual network interfaces, IP addresses or define virtual
devices for each process (or for hierarchies of processes).
umview is the user mode implementation of View-OS concepts. It is a
modular partial virtual machine. umview before loading any module is
completely transparent, a process behaves inside umview as it would
have behaved outside. Each module can customize specific entities:
there are modules to mount filesystems at user-level (umfuse), to
define virtual networks (umnet), to define virtual devices (umdev),
to provide interpreters for executables, e.g. to support executables
for foreign architectures (umbinfmt), to hide, move, overlay parts of
the file system (viewfs).
These are some examples of modules provided by the View-OS team.
umview aims to provide a general interface to customize the system call
semantics of process under specified conditions. So more modules will
be added both by the View-OS team and by third parties.
umview can also be used as a login shell in /etc/passwd (see
passwd(5)). When umview is a login shell the mapping between each user
and his/her startup script is in the file /etc/viewospasswd (see
Load the specified startup script instead of the standard one
($(HOME)/.viewosrc). /etc/viewosrc is always loaded first, and
then either $(HOME)/.viewosrc or the script specified by -fB or
set the name of the view. The view can be read and set using vuname
or viewname commands.
-p module [, module_options ]
--preload module [, module_options ]
preload modules. Modules will be loaded as shared libraries thus
all the rules to load libraries apply. Modules must be loaded from
a directory within the ld.so search path or should be specified by
their pathnames. If necessary configure the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable appropriately. module_options are module
specific configuration options, thus the reader should refer to
each service module manual for a complete description. Modules can
be loaded at run time using the um_add_service command.
umview is able to provide module nesting, i.e. a module can provide
services on the basis of virtual services provided by another
module or even by the module itself. For example it is possible to
mount a file system image which is stored in an already virtually
mounted filesystem. This feature requires the pure_libc library.
The -x or --nonesting option disables the nesting feature.
umview is able to use some specific kernel extensions (when
present) to increase its performance. The source distribution of
umview include the kernel patches for the latest kernels. The
kernel extensions are enabled by default when available. This
option disables the kernel extensions.
This option disables the PTRACE_MULTI kernel extension.
This option disables the PTRACE_SYSVM kernel extension.
This option disables the PTRACE_SYSVIEWOS kernel extension (already
experimental, not yet released).
This option diverts the debugging output to the file specified, it
is useful when umview has been compiled with debugging extensions.

Comparing 'Cousin Kate' and 'The seduction', two poems about pregnancy.
The first 200 words of this essay...
GCSE Comparative poetry essay
The genre of both the poems are about pregnancy, fathering and how pregnancy has effected the lives of virtuous, innocent young women. The main difference between the two poems is that the first one called 'Cousin Kate' is set in the past, around the 1914's, while the other one called 'The seduction' is more modern. This is because of the language used and how the words use syntax.
"Not mindful I was fair." "She had met him at the party "
The first line was taken from the poem called "Cousin Kate" while the other one was taken from "The Seduction" poem. The sentence structure of the first line has been changed around because, if it were written as a sentence than the poem would not sound correct because the number of syllables would not match the line before or after it. (I was not mindful, I was fair). If the second half of the line was not there (I was fair) the sentence would not make sense because the reader would not know what the writer is talking about as there is

Northward-bound bugs studied
'Excellent barometers for environmental change'
(Originally published by CBC North July 6, 2010)
Canadian researchers have scattered across the North this summer to study insects not normally found in the region, like wasps and hornets, and figure out how those bugs got to the Arctic in the first place.
Biologist Donna Giberson of the University of Prince Edward Island has set up teams of graduate students in various northern communities to collect insects.
"If you see people swinging butterfly nets in the Arctic this year, this is basically the team that's doing it," Giberson told CBC News on a recent flight from Norman Wells, N.W.T., where one team has been based.

How did The Book Fairies celebrate International Women's Day?
Book Fairies around the world celebrated International Women's Day by hiding copies of Our Shared Shelf books – and there are still more to find on the 9th!
Emma Watson is a Book Fairy for the day
We must admit, we had an extra pair of hands on the day – Emma Watson hid books around places of significance to women and the feminist movement. Did you spot one?
The places Emma visited:
The Gertrude Stein statue: Gertrude Stein was an American novelist, poet, playwright and art collector. She was a leading figure in modernism in literature and art in the early 20th century. She wrote Tender Buttons and Three Lives, as well as work dealing with homosexual themes.
The Joan of Arc statue: The statue of French patriot and saint Joan of Arc was sculpted by a woman, Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington, in 1915. It was the very first statue depicting a non-fictional woman in NYC and was the only one until the 1980s.
Blue Stockings: a radical bookstore which holds regular events, including a feminist book club.
Harriet Tubman memorial: Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and humanitarian. Born into slavery in 1822, she escaped and subsequently rescued around seventy enslaved families and friends. After the American civil war she became an active participant in the struggle for women's suffrage.
Harriet Truman statue: Eleanor Roosevelt was the longest-serving First Lady in US history and she later served as the US delegate to the United Nations. She was the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights and also oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
You can see all her videos and pictures on Emma's instagram.
The books Emma dropped:
My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran
Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou
Half the Sky by Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof

Customs House, 1856
Merino sheep across Victoria produced wool that was soft, plentiful and appealing to Britain's mills. And so in the 1840s, wool became Geelong's most important industry. The raw product was transported into Geelong, processed there and exported from Geelong. Wool heading for the Australian colonies was taken to the port in loosely packed bales. Wool to be shipped to Britain was packed in solid bins, at the behest of specialist sorters, consignment agents and shippers.
Pioneer merchant James Ford Strachan constructed his first bonded store in 1840, the first stone building in newly colonised Geelong.
Only when Geelong was declared a free port in 1848 was a proper Customs House needed near the Geelong wharves. The officers made sure that duty was fully collected, on both colonial and overseas trade. The Geelong Customs House was built in Corio Terrace/now Brougham St, in 1856 as a three storey ashlar sandstone and basalt structure, and a slate roof. Architect WG Cornish's distinctive colonial Georgian style clearly reflected the influence of earlier NSW colonial public building traditions.
In 1857 Charles Dennys conducted the first wool auction in Geelong. I don't suppose many bales were sold, but the idea of a regional market soon caught the attention of local growers and buyers, so more auctions were held in a central Geelong pub.
Dennys Lascelles bluestone wool store
Wool stores became necessary, and they needed to be as close to the foreshore as possible. In the very early days, the difference between a wool store and one for general merchandise was largely the existence of a wool press. Few Geelong merchants handled nothing but wool.
So it was not until 1872, with the arrival of Dennys Lascelles bluestone wool store, that a specific design of building was evolved for wool. A row of very impressive wool stores stretched down the street in a unified manner, designed by architects Jacob Pitman (basement) and Jonathan Coulson (the other floors). Wagons entered from the street via an archway, discharged their load and moved out into a right of way on the other side of the building.
Dennys, Lascelles, Austin and Co. in Brougham St was the proud owner of one of the most important early modern structures in Australia. This concrete woolstore, designed by Edward G Stone, was largely free of architectural decoration, and was in a style that anticipated European and Australian architectural trends of the inter-war years. Dennys buildings had used solid bluestone in 1872, cement render in 1880 and the mansard tower of 1889. It is not surprising, then, that when expansion was planned in 1900, the firm elected to use the most modern material – reinforced concrete.
Strachan, Murray, Shannon and Co. wool stores
The remarkable bowstring roof trusses of reinforced concrete spanned, when completed in 1912, apparently the largest column free space in the world. Dennys Lascelles and Co. was one of the oldest wool broking firms in Victoria and the concrete woolstore still forms part of an historic woolstore precinct. Today it hosts the National Wool Museum.
"National Wool Museum is Australia's only comprehensive museum of wool, showcasing wool's enduring impact on Australia social and economic life. With a brief to explore the past, present and future of the Australian wool industry, the Museum acquires, documents, preserves, stores and exhibits objects and materials directly related to the Australian wool industry". And it kept two of my grandchildren mesmerised for 1.5 hours (no mean feat).
The Strachan, Murray, Shannon and Co. wool stores were built at the corner of Moorabool and Brougham Sts Geelong. Systematically developed as the wool industry expanded, this four storey brick complex was stylistically unified from the 1889 section onwards, to present an impressive austere Classical Revival structure of great note. Remember that the Strachan Company premises had been associated with the wool industry since 1840.
The Wool Exchange
The Wool Exchange in Corio St was constructed in 1927-28, designed by local architects Laird and Buchan. The two storey brick Wool Exchange was and is one of Geelong's major public buildings from the inter war period and as a late example of the renaissance revival, the facade reflected the generally conservative character of the wool industry. Roofed with a barrel vault, the main sales room had a striking interior decorated with Neo-Greco detail. Sales of wool, sheepskins, hides, tallow and other products were conducted weekly at this site.
This Wool Exchange was the last important element of the wool industry. Alongside Western District properties, railways, gorgeous wool stores, woollen mills, scouring works and port facilities, it illustrated the economic and social history of late 19th and early 20th century Geelong.
The National Trust of Australia (Victorian branch) created a valuable history in the book called Woolstores: Conservation Area, 1980. I recommend it to you. The description of the original architecture in these buildings came from the wonderful blog OnMyDoorstep.

Assume I have two different parameter vectors used as inputs in a function. Also, assume the two parameter vectors are of different lengths. Is there a way to output all the possible values of that function? I know that if I use two parameter vectors of different lengths, then the shorter parameter vector is just repeated so that doesn't work. I can solve this "manually" as you can see below. But, I'd like to find a more efficient manner of calculating all the possible combinations. An example follows:
Assume I'm using the dbinom() function that has as inputs x (number of "successes" from the sample), n (number of observations in the sample), and p (the probability of "success" for each x). n stays constant at 20; however, my x varies from 7,8,9,...,20 ("x7" below) or 0,1 ("x1" below). Also, I want to evaluate dbinom() at different values of p, specifically from 0 to 1 in.1 increments ("p" below). As you can see the three parameter vectors x7, x1, and p are all of different lengths 14, 2, and 11, respectively.
> p<-seq(from=0,to=1,by=.1)
> x7<-seq.int(7,20)
> x1<-c(0,1)
> n<-20
I can evaluate each combination by using one of the vectors (x7/x2 or p) in dbinom() and then selecting a value for the remaining parameter. As you can see below, I used the vector x7 or x2 and then "manually" changed the p to equal 0,.1,.2,...,1.
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.1))
[1] 0.002386089
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.1))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,.1))
[1] 0._PHONE_
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.2))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,.2))
[1] 0._PHONE_
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.3))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,.3))
[1] 0._PHONE_
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.4))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,.4))
[1] 0._PHONE_
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.5))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,.5))
[1] 0._PHONE_
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.6))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,.6))
[1] 0._PHONE_
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.7))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,.7))
[1] 0.999739
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.8))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,.8))
[1] 0._PHONE_
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,.9))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,.9))
[1] 1
> sum(dbinom(x7,n,1))+sum(dbinom(x1,n,1))
[1] 1
Basically, I want to know if there is a way to get R to print all the sums above from 0._PHONE_,0._PHONE_,...,1 with a single line of input or some other more efficient way of varying the parameter p without simply copying and changing p on each line.
*I'm new to Stackoverflow, so I apologize in advance if I have not formulated my question conventionally.

What are you trying to achieve with sum(dbinom(....)) surely you want pbinom? – mnel Aug 22 '13 at 0:19

You are using dbinom with a range of x values and then summing. Instead using pbinom, which calculates then probability of P(x <=q) (or P(x >q) if lower.tail = FALSE).
Thus you can calculate P(x >6) + P(q <= 1) (which is what you appear to want to calculate)
pbinom(q = 6, p = p,size = n, lower.tail = FALSE) + pbinom(q = 1, p = p, size = n)

Did you know alligators can replace each of their teeth up to 50 times in their life? Humans are unique among vertebrates for being able to replace our teeth only once. But new insights into how alligators replace their teeth may help stimulate the same process in ours.
Professor Cheng-Ming Chuong, M.D., Ph.D., has discovered novel molecular and cellular mechanisms in alligators that promote tooth renewal. Researchers found alligator teeth are made up of three parts: a functional tooth, a replacement tooth, and the dental lamina. This lamina contains stem cells that grow into new teeth.
As for next steps, the team hopes to isolate cells from the alligator lamina to see if they can develop teeth in-lab. They will also look into the molecular mechanisms of repeated renewal and apply these concepts to regenerative medicine in the future.

It's the first day of school at Nemaha Central Elementary and Middle School and students approached the school with smiles on their faces. This year the first day of school was Thursday, August15. The students were excited to reconnect with lost friends from summer break and the halls were filled with student laughter.
The middle students stayed in the gym for the opening assembly. Students enjoyed eating donuts waiting for the official start of the day. At the assembly, students learned some information about the staff while playing a game called "Two truths and one lie." After the staff game, the students played a game created by some of the Impact reps. This game reviewed some of the rules of middle school.
The elementary students reported to the gym and were dismissed before 8 to their classrooms. Students played games to learn about the class rules, their classmates, and their teachers. They organized their lockers and familiarized themselves with their classroom.
"The first day of school was fun," said Westley Deters.
All in all, the first day of school was a great day. In conclusion, NCEMS students and staff are ready for an outstanding school year!

The Gaussian assumption in second-order estimation problems in digital communications
Tipus de documentArticle
EditorIEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC
Condicions d'accésAccés obert
This paper deals with the goodness of the Gaussian assumption when designing second-order blind estimation methods in the context of digital communications. The lowand high-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) asymptotic performance of the maximum likelihood estimator—derived assuming Gaussian transmitted symbols—is compared with the performance of the optimal second-order estimator, which exploits the actual distribution of the discrete constellation. The asymptotic study concludes that the Gaussian assumption leads to the optimal second-order solution if the SNR is very low or if the symbols belong to a multilevel constellation such as quadrature-amplitude modulation (QAM) or amplitude-phase-shift keying (APSK). On the other hand, the Gaussian assumption can yield important losses at high SNR if the transmitted symbols are drawn from a constant modulus constellation such as phase-shift keying (PSK)or continuous-phase modulations (CPM). These conclusions are illustrated for the problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of multiple digitally-modulated signals.

This is more efficient than using ActiveRecord::Base#create or ActiveRecord::Base#save multiple times. This method works well if you want to create more than one record at a time and do not care about having ActiveRecord objects returned for each record inserted.
This can be used with or without validations. It does not utilize the ActiveRecord::Callbacks during creation/modification while performing the import.
Usage
Model.import array_of_models
Model.import column_names, array_of_values
Model.import column_names, array_of_values, options
Model.import array_of_models
With this form you can call import passing in an array of model objects that you want updated.
Model.import column_names, array_of_values
The first parameter column_names is an array of symbols or strings which specify the columns that you want to update.
The second parameter, array_of_values, is an array of arrays. Each subarray is a single set of values for a new record. The order of values in each subarray should match up to the order of the column_names.
Model.import column_names, array_of_values, options
The first two parameters are the same as the above form. The third parameter, options, is a hash. This is optional. Please see below for what options are available.
Options
 - validate – true|false, tells import whether or not to use \
 ActiveRecord validations. Validations are enforced by default.
 - on_duplicate_key_update – an Array or Hash, tells import to \
 use MySQL's ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ability. See On Duplicate\
 Key Update below.
 - synchronize – an array of ActiveRecord instances for the model that you are currently importing data into. This synchronizes existing model instances in memory with updates from the import.
 - timestamps – true|false, tells import to not add timestamps \ (if false) even if record timestamps is disabled in ActiveRecord::Base
 - +recursive – true|false, tells import to import all autosave association if the adapter supports setting the primary keys of the newly imported objects.

Arraying your arguments – Ruby
The list of parameters passed to an object is, in fact, available as a list. To do this, we use what is called the splat operator – which is just an asterisk (*).
The splat operator is used to handle methods which have a variable parameter list. Let's use it to create an add method that can handle any number of parameters.
We use the inject method to iterate over arguments, which is covered in the chapter on Collections. It isn't directly relevant to this lesson, but do look it up if it piques your interest.
Example Code:
def add(*numbers)
 numbers.inject(0) { |sum, number| sum + number }
end
puts add(1)
puts add(1, 2)
puts add(1, 2, 3)
puts add(1, 2, 3, 4)
The splat operator works both ways – you can use it to convert arrays to parameter lists as easily as we just converted a parameter list to an array.
Inject in Ruby
The syntax for the inject method is as follows:
inject (value_initial) { |result_memo, object| block }
Let's solve the above example i.e.
[1, 2, 3, 4].inject(0) { |result, element| result + element }
which gives the 10 as the output.
So, before starting let's see what are the values stored in each variables:
result = 0 The zero came from inject(value) which is 0
element = 1 It is first element of the array.
Okey!!! So, let's start understanding the above example
Step :1 [1, 2, 3, 4].inject(0) { |0, 1| 0 + 1 }
Step :2 [1, 2, 3, 4].inject(0) { |1, 2| 1 + 2 }
Step :3 [1, 2, 3, 4].inject(0) { |3, 3| 3 + 3 }
Step :4 [1, 2, 3, 4].inject(0) { |6, 4| 6 + 4 }
Step :5 [1, 2, 3, 4].inject(0) { |10, Now no elements left in the array, so it'll return 10 from this step| }
Here Bold-Italic values are elements fetch from array and the simply Bold values are the resultant values.
I hope that you understand the working of the #inject method of the #ruby.

Ruby Variables
Variables are the memory locations which hold any data to be used by any program.
There are five types of variables supported by Ruby. You already have gone through a small description of these variables in previous chapter as well. These five types of variables are explained in this chapter.
Ruby Global Variables:
Global variables begin with $. Uninitialized global variables have the value nil and produce warnings with the -w option.
Assignment to global variables alters global status. It is not recommended to use global variables. They make programs cryptic.
Here is an example showing usage of global variable.
#!/usr/bin/ruby
$global_variable = 10
class Class1
 def print_global
 puts "Global variable in Class1 is #$global_variable"
 end
end
class Class2
 def print_global
 puts "Global variable in Class2 is #$global_variable"
 end
end
class1obj = Class1.new
class1obj.print_global
class2obj = Class2.new
class2obj.print_global
Here $global_variable is a global variable. This will produce the following result:
NOTE: In Ruby you CAN access value of any variable or constant by putting a hash (#) character just before that variable or constant.
Global variable in Class1 is 10
Global variable in Class2 is 10
Ruby Instance Variables:
Instance variables begin with @. Uninitialized instance variables have the value nil and produce warnings with the -w option.
Here is an example showing usage of Instance Variables.
#!/usr/bin/ruby
class Customer
 def initialize(id, name, addr)
 @cust_id=id
 @cust_name=name
 @cust_addr=addr
 end
 def display_details()
 puts "Customer id #@cust_id"
 puts "Customer name #@cust_name"
 puts "Customer address #@cust_addr"
 end
end
# Create Objects
cust1=Customer.new("1", "John", "Wisdom Apartments, Ludhiya")
cust2=Customer.new("2", "Poul", "New Empire road, Khandala")
# Call Methods
cust1.display_details()
cust2.display_details()
Here, @cust_id, @cust_name and @cust_addr are instance variables. This will produce the following result:
Customer id 1
Customer name John
Customer address Wisdom Apartments, Ludhiya
Customer id 2
Customer name Poul
Customer address New Empire road, Khandala
Ruby Class Variables:
Class variables begin with @@ and must be initialized before they can be used in method definitions.
Referencing an uninitialized class variable produces an error. Class variables are shared among descendants of the class or module in which the class variables are defined.
Overriding class variables produce warnings with the -w option.
Here is an example showing usage of class variable:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
class Customer
 @@no_of_customers=0
 def initialize(id, name, addr)
 @cust_id=id
 @cust_name=name
 @cust_addr=addr
 @@no_of_customers += 1
 end
 def display_details()
 puts "Customer id #@cust_id"
 puts "Customer name #@cust_name"
 puts "Customer address #@cust_addr"
 end
 def total_no_of_customers()
 puts "Total number of customers: #@@no_of_customers"
 end
end
# Create Objects
cust1=Customer.new("1", "John", "Wisdom Apartments, Ludhiya")
cust2=Customer.new("2", "Poul", "New Empire road, Khandala")
# Call Methods
cust1.total_no_of_customers()
cust2.total_no_of_customers()
Here @@no_of_customers is a class variable. This will produce the following result:
Total number of customers: 1
Total number of customers: 2
Ruby Local Variables:
Local variables begin with a lowercase letter or _. The scope of a local variable ranges from class, module, def, or do to the corresponding end or from a block's opening brace to its close brace {}.
When an uninitialized local variable is referenced, it is interpreted as a call to a method that has

Supporting documents you need to provide
You should include all the documents you have which will show that you qualify for entry to the UK as a visitor. The documents include the following:
- bank statements, pay slips, or some other evidence to show that you can pay for the trip and that you have enough money to support yourself and any dependants without working or getting any help from public funds, and
- evidence that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit (for example, a letter from your employer).
If you are visiting family or friends you will need:
- a letter from your sponsor (the person you are visiting) explaining your relationship with them and the purpose of your visit, and
a copy of the bio-data page (the page containing their photograph) of their UK passport or, if they are not a UK national, evidence of their immigration status in the United Kingdom
If your sponsor will be supporting you during your visit, or paying for the cost of the visit, you will need:
- pay slips, bank statements, or some other evidence to show that they have enough money to support you.


agogical stepping stone towards fully nonstandard analysis, as it is formally similar to (though weaker than) fully nonstandard analysis, but on the other hand is closer in practice to standard analysis. As we shall see below, the relation between cheap nonstandard analysis and standard analysis is analogous in many ways to the relation between probabilistic reasoning and deterministic reasoning; it also resembles somewhat the preference in much of modern mathematics for viewing mathematical objects as belonging to families (or to categories) to be manipulated en masse, rather than treating each object individually. (For instance, nonstandard analysis can be used as a partial substitute for scheme theory in order to obtain uniformly quantitative results in algebraic geometry, as discussed for instance in this previous blog post.)

Building commissioning has emerged as the preferred method of ensuring that building systems are installed and operated to provide the performance envisioned by the designer. While most commissioning processes focus on bringing building operation to the original design intent, Continuous Commissioning is different. Continuous Commissioning focuses on optimizing HVAC system operation and control for the existing building conditions. Continuous Commissioning is an ongoing process to resolve operating problems, improve comfort, optimize energy use and identify retrofits for existing commercial and institutional buildings and central plant facilities. Continuous Commissioning focuses on improving overall system control and operations for the building, as it is currently utilized, and on meeting existing facility needs.
This course is based on the document Continuous Commissioning Guidebook for Federal Energy Managers Maximizing Building Efficiency and Comfort; DOE – Federal Energy Management Program – October 2002.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
NY PE & PLS: You must choose courses that are technical in nature or related to matters of laws and ethics contributing to the health and welfare of the public. NY Board does not accept courses related to office management, risk management, leadership, marketing, accounting, financial planning, real estate, and basic CAD. Specific course topics that are on the borderline and are not acceptable by the NY Board have been noted under the course description on our website.

Eden Lotus Root Soba is hard winter and hard spring wheat, whole buckwheat flour, lotus root powder, and a bit of sea salt. Tanaka family made as they've been doing it since 1906, now with four generations actively involved. It's an easy and delicious way to enjoy the exceptional flavor and benefit of buckwheat and lotus root.
Historical Information
Soba is the Japanese word for buckwheat Fagopyrum esculentum, a nearly forgotten healthy food with rich flavor and many benefits. Buckwheat is a hardy, wild broad leaf plant and not a grass. It belongs to the Polygonaceae or buckwheat family and is not a member of the cereal grain or Gramineae family. The fruit seed of buckwheat has long been valued in both East and West. It originated in the area of Lake Baikal in Siberia, in the Himalayas, and Manchuria. Buckwheat was cultivated and eaten in China before being adopted throughout Asia and Europe. It has long been a staple food in Russia and central Europe where known as 'kasha.'
Lotus root of a water lily, Nelumbo nucifera, is traditionally valued for promoting healthy respiratory function. When lotus root powder is added to traditional soba dough it imparts a creamy smooth texture.
The art of making noodles is believed to have originated among farmers in China. Noodles were adopted in Buddhist temples and were brought to Japan by monks. The first reference to buckwheat in Japan appears in records from the Heian period (794 - 1185 A.D.). Buckwheat noodles or'soba kiri' are mentioned in documents from the early 1600s.
Nutrition Facts
Eden Lotus Root Soba is low fat, and saturated fat and cholesterol free. It is a good source of healthy fiber, protein, and iron. It is easy to digest and traditionally eaten for its strengthening and relaxing qualities.
Commercial pasta is highly refined, chemically treated flour, processed in minutes through teflon dies and ultra high heat or microwave drying, resulting in inferior flavor, diminished nutrition, and dubious value. Eden Lotus Root Soba is a wise choice. Light, delicious and nourishing because it's made with patience, care, the best ingredients, and handling that enhances value.
Eden Lotus Root Soba are delicious, warming and strengthening food enjoy hot or chilled in dashi broth with shoyu, kombu sea vegetable, shiitake mushroom, and mirin, or drizzled with ponzu. Use it like any pasta in soups, stir-fries, and salads. Wrap them in toasted nori to make noodle sushi. Do not add salt to the cooking water. Unlike Eden Organic Soba and Udon these noodles are made with a bit of sea salt.

Why Did Kaneki'S Nails Turn Black?
How old is kaneki?
Why did they kidnap kaneki?
He was a ghoul tortured brutally by a CCG officer and quickly became a torturer himself. It's safe to say he tortured other people before Kaneki. … Yamori, a sadistic guy, wanted to see how strong a one eyes willpower was, so he took kaneki, and you know the rest from there!
What do black fingernails mean?
Dark spots or streaks rather than full discoloration of the nails may be caused by bruising, psoriasis, melanoma (a type of skin cancer), chronic infections, and medications such as from cancer chemotherapy.
Why the nails are black?
Some types of bacteria, as well as fungal infection of the nail, can also produce melanin that discolours the nails. Nicotine stains from cigarettes, certain medicated lotions and dirt can also stain our nails. Injuries or ill-fitting shoes can cause bleeding under the nail, making it appear black.
Why did kaneki's hair turn white?
As Kaneki had to repeatedly heal his toes over and over and over, all the while being tortured and borderline starved. His body was basically getting weaker and weaker because the cells were wearing thin, which is why his hair turns white, as happens with people when they get old.
Was kaneki's mom abusive?
Kaneki being abused. She was intelligent and seemed to always be kind. … Kaneki's description of his mother appears to be somewhat distorted; his memories of her show her actions of being physically abusive, beating her young son and putting others' needs before his emotional health along with her own physical health.
Did kaneki eat hide?
Kaneki has gone out of his mind, babbling irrationally in a state of being half kakuja. Hide lets Kaneki eat his face to get back his strength. While it appeared at first that Hide had died in the process, he reappeared later as Scarecrow, an ally of Kaneki and the ghoul hunters.
Is kaneki the strongest ghoul?
Ken Kaneki is the main protagonist of the Tokyo Ghoul series. … Kaneki is ranked as an SS Ghoul, but he is much more powerful than that.
What do black streaks in fingernails mean?
Black lines on the nail can be the result of many conditions. Trauma is one of the most common causes of splinter hemorrhages. This can occur when something hurts your nail bed and bursts a blood vessel under your nail.
What happens if your fingernail turns black?
It is common for a nail to turn black after an injury. The black or purple-black color is caused by blood under the nail and will go away as the injury heals. Black, brown, or purple discoloration under a nail that has not been injured may be caused by melanoma.
What mental illness does kaneki have?
dissociative identity disorderA more common and rational belief is that Kaneki/Haise suffers from dissociative identity disorder, in which the sufferer has two or more distinct and separate identities that take control over the persons behaviour.
How long was kaneki tortured?
10 daysYou are correct, but there are some people who don't know exactly how long Kaneki was tortured. He was tortured for 10 days, enough time for his hair to turn white.


IceWM
From ArchWiki

Jump to: navigation, search
Tango-document-new.pngThis article is a stub.Tango-document-new.png
Notes: please use the first argument of the template to provide more detailed indications. (Discuss in Talk:IceWM#)
What is IceWM?
In Unix computing, IceWM is a window manager for the X Window System graphical infrastructure, written by Marko Maček. It was coded from scratch in C++ and is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. It is relatively lightweight in terms of memory and CPU usage, and comes with themes that allow it to imitate the UI of Windows 95, OS/2, Motif, and other graphical user interfaces. (Source: Wikipedia)
Installation
IceWM is available in [extra] and therefore easily installable:
# pacman -S icewm
Additionally you can also install menumaker from AUR(AUR_User_Guidelines), to populate the applications menu.
Configuration
Although IceWM configuration is originally text-based, there are GUI-based tools available, notably icewm-utils in [community].
Menu
MenuMaker is a Python script that automatically populates your applications menu based on what is installed in your system. This means programs from other desktop environments (KDE, etc.) can be run within IceWM. When running MenuMaker, use the -f flag to overwrite an existing menu file:
# mmaker -f icewm
Themes
Although some themes are included by default, there is a much larger and better selection in the verified icewm-themes package in the repository. Although many have a spartan, 'old Windows' feel, some (ElbergBlue, liquid, etc.) have a more modern look.
File Managers
It should be noted that IceWM is a window manager only and therefore does not include a file manager. Rox and EmelFM/EmelFM2 work well with IceWM as do DFM and PCMan File Manager, both of which enable icons to be placed on the desktop which is otherwise not possible. N.B. To use PCMan, FAM needs to be installed and added to the list of daemons in /etc/rc.conf.

wincache_ucache_add
(PECL wincache >= 1.1.0)
wincache_ucache_add Adds a variable in user cache only if variable does not already exist in the cache
Descripción
wincache_ucache_add(string $key, mixed $value, int $ttl = 0): bool
wincache_ucache_add(array $values, mixed $unused = NULL, int $ttl = 0): bool
Adds a variable in user cache, only if this variable doesn't already exist in the cache. The added variable remains in the user cache unless its time to live expires or it is deleted by using wincache_ucache_delete() or wincache_ucache_clear() functions.
Parámetros
key
Store the variable using this key name. If a variable with same key is already present the function will fail and return false. key is case sensitive. To override the value even if key is present use wincache_ucache_set() function instad. key can also take array of name => value pairs where names will be used as keys. This can be used to add multiple values in the cache in one operation, thus avoiding race condition.
value
Value of a variable to store. Value supports all data types except resources, such as file handles. This paramter is ignored if first argument is an array. A general guidance is to pass null as value while using array as key. If value is an object, or an array containing objects, then the objects will be serialized. See __sleep() for details on serializing objects.
values
Associative array of keys and values.
ttl
Time for the variable to live in the cache in seconds. After the value specified in ttl has passed the stored variable will be deleted from the cache. This parameter takes a default value of 0 which means the variable will stay in the cache unless explicitly deleted by using wincache_ucache_delete() or wincache_ucache_clear() functions.
Valores devueltos
If key is string, the function returns true on success and false on failure.
If key is an array, the function returns:
 - If all the name => value pairs in the array can be set, function returns an empty array;
 - If all the name => value pairs in the array cannot be set, function returns false;
 - If some can be set while others cannot, function returns an array with name=>value pair for which the addition failed in the user cache.
Ejemplos
Ejemplo #1 wincache_ucache_add() with key as a string
<?php
$bar
= 'BAR';
var_dump(wincache_ucache_add('foo', $bar));
var_dump(wincache_ucache_add('foo', $bar));
var_dump(wincache_ucache_get('foo'));
?>
El resultado del ejemplo sería:
bool(true)
bool(false)
string(3) "BAR"
Ejemplo #2 wincache_ucache_add() with key as an array
<?php
$colors_array
= array('green' => '5', 'Blue' => '6', 'yellow' => '7', 'cyan' => '8');
var_dump(wincache_ucache_add($colors_array));
var_dump(wincache_ucache_add($colors_array));
var_dump(wincache_ucache_get('Blue'));
?>
El resultado del ejemplo sería:
array(0) { }
array(4) {
 ["green"]=> int(-1)
 ["Blue"]=> int(-1)
 ["yellow"]=> int(-1)
 ["cyan"]=> int(-1)
}
string(1) "6"

ERP 2.50:Developers Guide/How to develop an alert
ERP 2.50:Developers Guide
Index
Contents
Objective
The objective of this how-to is to illustrate how you can add new alerts to Openbravo. Alerts are non-intrusive informational messages to individual users or groups (roles) about anything within the system. One can define unlimited number of alerts for various statuses, errors, informative purposes, reminder etc. Some examples are:
and many more.
Defining the alert
First of all, the condition under which the alert appears needs to be defined. This is done using a SQL statement that needs to follow certain conventions.
To enter a new alert, use the System Administrator role to navigate to General Setup || Application || Alert window. Depending on how you installed Openbravo, you might already have some alerts here. If you do, try to find the Customers with exceeded credit one and double click it. If not, create a new record as indicated below:
CreateAlerts1.png
where this is the exact code for the SQL field:

 SELECT c_bpartner_id AS referencekey_id,
 ad_column_identifier('C_BPartner', c_bpartner_id, 'en_US') AS record_id,
 0 AS ad_role_id,
 NULL AS ad_user_id,
 ad_column_identifier('C_BPartner', c_bpartner_id, 'en_US') ||' has '||SO_CreditLimit||' as limit and has reached '||SO_CreditUsed AS description,
 'Y' AS isActive,
 ad_org_id,
 ad_client_id,
 now() AS created,
 0 AS createdBy,
 now() AS updated,
 0 AS updatedBy
 FROM c_bpartner
 WHERE SO_CreditLimit < SO_CreditUsed
 AND iscustomer='Y'
 AND SO_CreditLimit!=0
The fields in question here are:
We will come back to this code and explain it in detail. First, let's try to see the resulting alert.
Defining recipients
Switch to the Openbravo Admin role, navigate to General Setup || Application || Alert, double click the Customers with exceeded credit alert and switch to the Alert Recipients tab. Add a new record as indicated below:
CreateAlerts2.png
Notice that a role can be added (that includes several users) or a specific user.
Scheduling the alerting background process
For the alerts to be evaluated and triggered, the background process needs to be scheduled since it doesn't come that way out of the box. Using the Openbravo Admin role navigate to General Setup || Process Scheduling || Process Request and enter a new record:
CreateAlerts3.png
The Result
Finally, log out and back in and switch to the Openbravo Admin role. You should be able to see the little red alert icon in the top right corner of the menu. By clicking on it, you will automatically be taken to the General Setup || Application || Alert Management window that should look something like:
CreateAlerts4.png
SQL code explained
In order to write any kind of alert, the approach is very similar. Let's take another look at the SQL code that describes the condition:

 SELECT c_bpartner_id AS referencekey_id,
 ad_column_identifier('C_BPartner', c_bpartner_id, 'en_US') AS record_id,
 0 AS ad_role_id,
 NULL AS ad_user_id,
 ad_column_identifier('C_BPartner', c_bpartner_id, 'en_US') ||' has '||SO_CreditLimit||' as limit and has reached '||SO_CreditUsed AS description,
 'Y' AS isActive,
 ad_org_id,
 ad_client_id,
 now() AS created,
 0 AS createdBy,
 now() AS updated,
 0 AS updatedBy
 FROM c_bpartner
 WHERE SO_CreditLimit < SO_CreditUsed
 AND iscustomer='Y'
 AND SO_CreditLimit!=0
Each SQL statement basically simulates an Openbravo table which is why it needs to have all the columns defined above:
Finally the WHERE clause describes the condition that triggers the alert. In our case the SELECT statement will return all Business Partners (FROM c_bpartner) that are customers (iscustomer='Y') and have exceeded their credit limit (SO_CreditLimit < SO_CreditUsed) which needs to be different from zero (SO_CreditLimit!=0).
In other words, anything you can describe in a SQL statement can be defined as an alert. It's as simple as that.

A Perl script to convert a text file to Multiterm XML
Added: 12 June 2008, last updated: July 17, 2008
I've often read in forums and mailing lists about people having problems with importing a glossary into Multiterm. Most of the time you need a bilingual glossary from which you can insert terms into Word, TagEditor or SDL Edit.
A few years ago I had the same problem and it was then that I developed a Perl script to convert a tab-delimited text file into an XML file compatible with Multiterm's bilingual glossary template. Unfortunately this script ran only inside Notetab Pro, which can execute external scripts and grab their output.
Now I learned how to handle encoding conversions in Perl and I made a standalone version of the script, which can be downloaded here. Actually two scripts, one for English – Polish, and the other for Polish – English glossaries.
Before you use the script, you will have to edit it once to adapt it to your language pair. The script may be made smarter in the future, but for now it does its job well, once you edit the language settings.
When you open the script with a plain text editor (one that can edit/save UTF-8 encoded files), disable wrapping of long lines and go to line 31 which looks like this:
Change English (United States) and EN-US to the correct settings for your source language.
Go to line 45 of the script and repeat this step for the target language.
You can check the correct language names and codes in step 3 of 5 of Multiterm's Termbase Creation Wizard.
Make sure that you do not delete the quotation marks around the language name and language code, nor the forward slash at the end of the tag.
Save the script. You can use the Save As command and rename the script from MTENUSPL.pl to something that represents your source and target language. Keep the pl extension. It stands for "perl" not "Polish". ;-)
To run the script, you need:
- Perl. You can get Perl for Windows as a free download from _URL_
- A tab-delimited file with your glossary, saved in the UTF-8 encoding. You can save a tab delimited file with this encoding in Word, OpenOffice Writer, UltraEdit, NoteTab Pro, PSPad etc. I can't make the script guess the encoding of the source file, so it must be in UTF-8. Also, if your tab-delimited file contains any of these characters: <, >, &, replace them as follows:
- replace < with <
- replace > with >
- replace & with &
If you leave these characters without any changes, they will break the import into Multiterm.
To run the script, copy it where your tab-delimited file is.
Open the command line (Start key+R, type cmd, press Enter). Change the directory to where the script and the tab-delimited file are.
Type the following command:
perl MTENUSPL.pl sourcefile.txt
and press Enter. If the source file is "well formed", the script will process it and create a sourcefile.txt.xml file. This file can be imported into a Multiterm termbase based on the bilingual glossary template.
You can download the two scripts in a zipped file here. For feedback about the scripts please use this form, or contact me through the cat_conv yahoogroup.
When you have successfully created your xml glossary file, you can import it into Multiterm. This short tutorial explains how to do it.
December 24, 2008:
Added the Multiterm Termbase Setup and Import Tutorial.
July 17, 2008:
- The actual user name is inserted, based on the current logged-on user name, "Piotr" was hardcoded before;
- Current date and time is inserted instead of a hardcoded date in the earlier version;
- Fixed an error in the numbering of "concept" elements, all concept elements were numbered as 1, now they are numbered sequentially.


Date in the task pane it will open the recurrence settings window as well:
2. Correspondence of the next occurrence date and recurrence pattern
If you have set the date of the next occurrence with a weekly pattern, this date must correspond to the specified day of the week. If there is a discrepancy, the program will warn you that this day is not, for example, Tuesday. In this case, you can accept the suggested option of auto-correction or manually change either the date or the day of the week.
The similar thing is with monthly and yearly recurrence patterns. For example, if the date is set on the 1st day of the next month, and the recurrence is "every first working day of the month" - this date should be exactly the first working day of the month.
3. Do not set time and reminders if the option "Regenerate new task..." is selected
The recurrence with the "Regenerate new task..." on will occur exactly within the specified period after the task is completed.
If you take this example, the first time the reminder will work at 3 p.m. And if you click to complete the task at 3:24 p.m., then the next reminder will work as early as 3:24 p.m. of the following day.
You should set time and reminders only for tasks with the recurrence of every day, week, month and year.

A family of new element models in discrete structural analysis is proposed in this paper. These models consist of finite number of small rigid bodies connected with springs distributed over the contact area of two neighbouring bodies. In general size of stiffness matrices of these element are at most (6×6) which are equal to or even smaller than 1/2 of those of conventional finite elements so that considerable reduction of computing time can be expected. Effectiveness of these elemets in nonlinear structural analysis will be demonstrated by several numerical examples.


Moose Drawings (Sketching + Vector)
Moose drawings are fun to create. This adorable cartoon character often looks either mean, slightly dumb or suspicious. In this case, I decided to draw a moose with large eyes and tiny legs.
The moose is very present in North America, especially in Canada. Easily recognizable with its large Antlers (for the male anyway), it is quite easy to draw this cartoon animal and have a result similar to the real thing.
Step 1
Moose drawings
Let's start this drawing lesson by creating a sketch of the character. If you have a tablet, you can sketch directly to your computer. Like I said earlier, I tried to create a funny moose with large pupils, tiny legs and a cute tail.
Step 2
Moose drawings
When you are done, convert your drawing into a digital file (if you used a pencil and a piece of paper) and import the illustration on your computer. Then, open your vector software and add dark lines just like shown in the image above.
Step 3
Moose drawings
Create a new layer and place it behind the first two. Then, create new shapes and add plain colors for now. The goal is to separate the outlines and the plain shapes since shadows will be added between these two layers later on.
Step 4
Moose drawings
Select the gradient tool from your vector software and add a subtle effect on each element of the cartoon character. Remember that the bottom part of each shape must be darker.
Step 5
Moose drawings
When you are finished, create a new layer between the outlines and the plain shapes (that are now filled with gradient colors!). Add new dark shapes to represent strong shadows. Our goal is to add more depth to the moose.
Step 6
Moose drawings
Select the transparency tool and partially hide the top part of each shape added previously. Shadows are now subtle, but still strong enough to give more volume to the illustration.
Step 7
Moose drawings
Shadows are nice, but adding reflection to our moose drawings can definitely give a better result. To create reflection, simply add a new layer. Then, create new shapes that are colored in white. The pink one was added so that you could see the white shape positioned over another white shape.
Step 8
Moose drawings
Once again, select the transparency tool and partially hide the bottom part of each white shapes created previously. Highlights are subtle since the skin of the moose doesn't reflect light like plastic would (it's just an example).
Step 9
Moose drawings
Finally, you can alter the color of all outlines using a tone of color similar to the one from the shape closer to the line. Black outlines are great, but adding colors to the outlines is a more efficient option. Good job! I think our moose is ready to go! :)

Digital animation by Michelle Chang with Helen Han and Temple Simpson.
This animation presents the geometry that is the basis of many of Fuller's key ideas and concepts. At the beginning, twelve spheres are packed as closely as possible around a single central sphere. As the spheres shrink and disappear, they generate a polyhedron in which all edges and all radii are of equal length. This shape is what Fuller called a vector equilibrium. One of the characteristics of a vector equilibrium is its ability to contract by folding in on itself. The animation demonstrates how this simple geometric shape can be transformed to create several complex polyhedra. Next, it produces a different version of a vector equilibrium that Fuller called tensegrity—short for a stable structure of tensional integrity. In the last part of the animation, a map of the entire globe is transferred onto the vector equilibrium, which unfolds to produce a flat map of the earth made from six squares and eight triangles. Unlike conventional world maps, Fuller's vector equilibrium map represents the world with minimal distortions to the relative size of the continents.

Soap on a Rope
Making soap on a rope is easy especially if you're making one out of soap scraps. That's right. We're using soap scraps to make soap on a rope either for your personal use or to give to someone else. Soap on a rope is something you can do to make use of those soap scraps instead of just throwing them away or letting it soak in your soap dish. Let's begin making your very first soap on a rope with the following steps.
First, you will need to prepare the materials needed for soap on a rope. These are the soap scraps, warm water, and nylons. You'll need 1 cup full of soap scraps to make soap on a rope. Now that you've gathered all the materials, let's start by breaking up the soap scraps into tiny little pieces. It will be best to use a grater or knife. That's how small it should get. Now, prepare a mixing bowl and place the grated soap scrapes in the bowl. Next, prepare a half cup of warm water. Pour it into the bowl and let it stand for about an hour.
After an hour, start kneading the soap and the water together as if you are kneading dough. Make sure to make it smooth and come up with the consistency of thick dough. If needed, add more warm water as needed. Make sure to add only a little at a time. You can use a tablespoon to make sure you only add little amount of water. If you want to add color, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture until the desired color is achieved. Blend well. Now, it's time to shape the mixture into a ball. Lay a piece of wax paper on the table and set the soap on top. It will take at least 24 hours to dry.
Once dry, cut about 12 inches nylon and create a loop around the soap ball. Tie the ends of the nylon above the soap ball. Now, you can hang your soap on a rope in the shower!

Conservation Awards Ireland
Due to current budget restrictions, the Heritage Council is longer in a position to run this Award Scheme.
The inaugural Heritage Council Conservation Award was awarded in 2009 to John Gillis, conservator at the National Museum of Ireland, for his work on the Fadden More Psalter, the remains of an illuminated vellum manuscript which was found in a bog in Co. Tipperary in July 2006. The manuscript is a psalter dating from the 8th century and is the first Irish manuscript to be discovered in over 200 years. It consists of five quires inside a tanned leather cover made from a single piece of skin. It has spent most of its life buried and contains many original features and unusual aspects usually lost to manuscripts above ground due to re-binding and other changes to the structure.
The very poor state of preservation and the unique nature of the find, set a challenge for conservators that included the trial and development of a system to de water the saturated vellum. Other aspects of the project included the difficult and complicated removal of clumps of vellum fragments before separating out and cleaning, which was accompanied by painstaking and detailed recording in order to establish the folio number and to allow collation analysis. Much of the methodology was developed on-site as the nature of the problem was a first in conservation terms. To date conservators have succeeded in drying all of the fragments including the tanned leather cover, which is now dry and stable.
John Gillis believes that the Psalter contains a wealth of new information on a number of levels from art history to palaeography and codicology. The manuscript went on display in the National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology, Kildare Street in July 2011. As a result of the Heritage Council Conservation Award, John Gillis will now be able to conduct further research into the cover of the book, which is unique in a western context and has strong links in both style and materials to Coptic bindings from the 4th century. This in turn brings fresh evidence of the long running debate about the Coptic Church and its pre Patrician influence in Ireland. A television programme, Treasure of the Bogs, on this project was broadcast in September 2010 on RTE 1.


brainwave binoculars
The eye passes on more information to the brain than the brain will process. In that sense, the brain functions as a filter. But on the battlefield the risk of neglecting information could mean the difference between life and death. To take away the filter is the idea behind a pentagon-funded project to develop "brainwave binoculars".
Intelligent binoculars can tap into the brain's ability to spot patterns and movement to help soldiers detect threats from miles farther away than they can with traditional binoculars. Electrodes on the scalp inside a helmet will record the user's brain activity as it processes information about high-resolution images produced by wide-angle military binoculars. Those responses will train the binoculars over time to recognize threats.

 Good that you created this node but
 a) Putting the output all fields option in "optional" and not "output" is a continued lesson in D360 you have to search everywhere. All should be the default - when would a user just calculate workdays in isolation? Even if they did then "all" as default changes nothing.
 b) why make the default input text? Surely the most common use of nodes is in a flow, (apart from data acquisition nodes) not as hard typed inputs? You are making people then have to do two sets of clicking to be able to input dates from a node.
 It looks like this useful calculation was done in isolation with not enough thought of how it is used in practice.
 btw, being able to do date +/- [x] workdays would also be very useful

You can test failover in the SAServer agent using VCS.
Your systems must be set up as follows to use the SQL Anywhere Veritas Cluster Server agents:
You must use Veritas Cluster Server 4.1 or later.
SQL Anywhere must be installed identically on each system node within the cluster.
Database files must be stored on a shared storage device that is accessible to all systems within the cluster.
The utility database password must be the same for all systems within the cluster.
The SADatabase agent uses the utility database to start and stop specific database files. All systems participating in the cluster must have the same utility database password. You can set the utility database password by specifying the -su server option when starting the database server.
On Unix, the VCS agent is installed in $SQLANY16/vcsagent/saserver.
You must have SELECT privilege on the table you are selecting from, or the SELECT ANY TABLE system privilege.
Connect to the database from Interactive SQL. For example:
dbisql -c "UID=DBA;PWD=sql;Server=VCS;HOST=HostName"
Execute the following query:
SELECT * FROM Departments;
The query should execute without errors.
Shut down the system running the database server.
Reconnect from Interactive SQL using the same connection string and executing the query again. You should be able to connect and execute the query successfully.

Deleting SVMs
You can use System Manager to delete storage virtual machines (SVMs) that you no longer require from the storage system configuration.
Before you begin
You must have completed the following tasks:
 1. Disabled the Snapshot copies, data protection (DP) mirrors, and load-sharing (LS) mirrors for all the volumes
 Note: You must use the command-line interface (CLI) to disable LS mirrors.
 2. Deleted all the igroups that belong to the SVM manually if you are deleting SVMs
 3. Deleted all the portsets
 4. Deleted all the volumes in the SVM, including the root volume
 5. Unmapped the LUNs, taken them offline, and deleted them
 6. Deleted the CIFS server if you are deleting SVMs
 7. Deleted any customized user accounts and roles that are associated with the SVM
 8. Deleted any NVMe subsystems associated with the SVM using the CLI.
 9. Stopped the SVM
About this task
When you delete SVMs, the following objects associated with the SVM are also deleted:
 - LIFs, LIF failover groups, and LIF routing groups
 - Export policies
 - Efficiency policies
If you delete SVMs that are configured to use Kerberos, or modify SVMs to use a different Service Principal Name (SPN), the original service principal of the SVM is not automatically deleted or disabled from the Kerberos realm. You must manually delete or disable the principal. You must have the Kerberos realm administrator's user name and password to delete or disable the principal.
If you want to move data from an SVM to another SVM before you delete the first SVM, you can use the SnapMirror technology to do so.
 1. Click Storage > SVMs.
 2. Select the SVM that you want to delete, and then click Delete.

Latin Square ANOVA
Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page
The following R code analyzes the yield dataset for a 5x5 Latin Square design by creating the yield dataset as a data frame, y, and then fitting a linear model using the lm() function to the data. This analyzes the yield in terms of the row, column and treatment effects and produces a summary table. The anova() statement performs the ANOVA, which we then display in table form (note that R does not display the totals row). The two matrix() functions display the design matrix and the data matrix in 5x5 format, as illustrated.

Objectives for recovery of alosines commonly involve improving fish passage at dams during migration. However, a quantitative basis for dam passage performance standards is largely absent. We describe development of a stochastic life-history-based simulation model for American shad, Alosa sapidissima, to estimate effects of dam passage and migratory delay on abundance, spatial distribution of spawning adults, and demographic structuring in space and time. We used the Penobscot River, Maine, USA, as a case study to examine sensitivity of modeled population metrics and probability of achieving specific management goals to inputs. Spawner abundance and percentage of repeat spawners were most sensitive to survival and migration delay at dams, marine survival, and temperature cues for migratory events. Recovery objectives related to abundance and spatial distribution of spawners were achievable under multiple scenarios, but high rates of upstream and downstream passage were necessary. The simulation indicated trade-offs between upstream and downstream passage efficacy whereby increased downstream passage was required to maintain or increase population abundance in conjunction with increased upstream passage. This model provides a quantitative support tool for managers to inform ecologically based decisions about a suite of management scenarios to facilitate recovery and sustainability of diadromous fish populations.

Why Can NMN Food Protect You and Not Increase Your +Borikiki Risk?
Why Can NMN Food Protect You and Not Increase Your +Borikiki Risk?
anthony-loera anthony-loera
4 minute read
There is confusion online about whether a NMN Food (nicotinamide mononucleotide) can increase +Borikiki risk. Importantly, no studies have shown that NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) can cause breast +Borikiki. Based on the way nicotinamide mononucleotide works, it may lower your risk of developing +Borikiki. Let's look at how and why this topic has been so confusing. The best for normal cells is also the best for +Borikiki cells.

Nicotinamide mononucleotide is not a cause of +Borikiki. However, nicotinamide mononucleotide could theoretically accelerate +Borikiki growth if one has already been diagnosed with +Borikiki; this is like the many substances necessary for cell function, such as B vitamins and zinc.

It is logical: substances suitable for average healthy cells can also benefit growth-hungry +Tumormik cells.
 - Folate, a B-vitamin, is one example. Folate is an essential vitamin necessary for DNA formation. +Borikiki cells also need it.
 - Folate can increase the likelihood of developing +Borikiki in those already diagnosed with it, but it is essential to remember that folate could lower the chance of getting +Borikiki.
 - Folate deficiency can lead to +Borikikious DNA mutations. Folate deficiency can increase your risk of developing +Borikiki in this instance.
 - Folate reduces the chance of developing +Borikiki. However, if someone already has it, it can accelerate growth.
Like the above, other essential or healthy substances, which cells require to function correctly, could theoretically also accelerate +Borikiki growth.
NMN and +Borikiki
Nicotinamide mononucleotide is essential for healthy cells to function correctly and to protect their epigenome and DNA [1]. so it seems Nicotinamide mononucleotide could be used to prevent +Borikiki. However, taking additional NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) if and when one has advanced +Borikiki, could theoretically speed up the growth of that +Borikiki, much like sugar would as NMN could be used to treat those cells. However, even this is inconclusive and not certain.

Is NMN able to accelerate the growth of +Borikiki?
It is unknown if NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) accelerates human +Borikiki growth. Some studies have shown that NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) may increase the development of a +Borikikious cell. These studies often take place in unnatural environments. Scientists may use genetically modified mice to develop deadly and aggressive +Tumormiks rapidly.

Other studies have shown that nicotinamide mononucleotide given as a treatment to mice suffering from +Borikiki does not increase +Borikiki growth. [2It is possible for NMN Food (nicotinamide mononucleotide) not only to reduce +Borikiki risk but also not accelerate +Borikiki growth if one has it.
NMN to improve the effectiveness of +Borikiki treatment

nicotinamide mononucleotide may also be beneficial in the improvement of immunotherapies for +Borikiki.
A recent study [3], suggests that nicotinamide mononucleotide could be used to make +Tumormiks more responsive to immunotherapy. Immunotherapy could be made more effective by NMN Food (nicotinamide mononucleotide). Immunotherapy stimulates your immune system to fight off +Borikiki cells.
This study also shows that NMN-treated mice don't increase +Tumormik size compared with mice not undergoing +Borikiki treatment; this suggests that nicotinamide mononucleotide doesn't accelerate +Tumormik growth.

NMN to lower the risk of developing +Borikiki

Nicotinamide mononucleotide is known for its ability to decrease DNA mutations. Numerous studies have shown that NMN Food reduces DNA damage in human fibroblasts [4], irradiated blood cells [5], and organs such as the kidneys [6].
NMN could lower the chance of developing +Borikiki, as DNA mutations are a vital driver for +Borikiki development.
Other studies also show that NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) can enhance the function of +Borikiki-fighting immune cell functions. Researchers discovered that orally administered NMN Food (nicotinamide mononucleotide) to mice increased NK-cell activity [7]. Natural Killer (NK) cells are immune cells that specialize in finding and eliminating +Borikiki cells.

Does a Trampoline Make You Taller? [Why/Why Not?]
You may have seen the selling points, the advertisements, and the claims that many trampoline companies come up with these days.
"Get a trampoline for your champ and help him grow taller!!"
Well, how much of that is true, really? Yes, it does seem plausible to some extent, but in practice, does jumping on a trampoline really help in height growth? Let's look at the answers below.
Does a Trampoline Make You Taller?
I'll just come right out and say it, jumping on a trampoline alone will not help you grow taller. But it does have some indirect impact on the growth hormones that can boost height increase.
The main factor behind height gain has always been your genetic makeup.
Secondary factors that affect your growth hormones are your medical conditions, nutritional input, and activity levels. Jumping on a trampoline causes your body to stretch and work against gravity which can have a positive impact on height gain. However, the impact is not as much as one might imagine at first.
In this article, I will talk about this topic further and try to unravel a lot of the myths surrounding trampolines and height growth. In addition, I will also talk about whether it can adversely affect your growth hormones and stunt your height gain.
Does Using a Trampoline Increase Height?
Short Answer– Yes! But not in the way that you might imagine.
It does affect the height gain indirectly. However, it can also lead to stunting growth in some situations. So let me talk about these things in detail to help you understand the exact impact of trampoline jumping on height growth.
Why Trampolines Don't Make You Taller
Most trampoline companies claim that their yard toy can help activate growth hormones and accelerate height gain. Their argument is that constant stretching and jumping on a trampoline will help stretch the spine and activate the growth plates on the long bones. This will, in turn, help increase height in young children.
And it is understandable how some might think that the logic is sound. In fact, science has proven that a full eight hours of sleep each day can help increase height, sometimes even up to an entire inch. So gaining height from trampoline jumping does seem probable at first.
However, height gain does not work the way that the trampoline companies want you to believe. When you are sleeping for a full eight hours, you are not necessarily gaining height.
Instead, your body is working to fix all the effects of gravity on your body, causing you to slouch or have a hunched posture when you are sleeping. So, you are not essentially gaining height but rather restoring your original body height. What I am trying to say is that height gain has little to nothing to do with stretching.
Don't get me wrong, I love trampoline jumping, and it offers a boatload of benefits. However, it does not negate the effects that gravity produces on your body completely. Neither does it create a state of perfect relaxation. So, getting a sound sleep and jumping on a trampoline are pretty different, to say the least.
And as it turns out, research shows no noticeable difference in height before and after jumping on a trampoline. But some people still think that trampoline jumping can help permanent height gain in young children if you get them jumping from an early age.
Unfortunately, this argument is a bit harder to dismiss, as there is no easy way to test it. A healthy amount of exercise for the young ones does help you gain height. But whether trampoline exercise is the best option for it is up for some debate.
Then again, you would rarely be able to make sure your kids are jumping in an organized way that boosts their growth hormones. Children like jumping on a trampoline because it's fun, not because it helps them gain height.
So, using a trampoline to impact growth hormones is not really the brightest idea. And even if it does help in growth development, the effect would not be as high as the effect of his genetic makeup. DNA is the main factor in affecting the height growth of a child.
Does Jumping on a Trampoline Stunt Growth?
I already made it pretty clear that jumping on a trampoline does not offer any quick height gain like getting proper sleep does. But does it stunt growth in any way?
Well, in a recent study by the National Library of Medicine, they said that sustaining injuries or, more importantly, fractures while taking part in sports or any other physical activity can stunt growth in a child. And we all know that trampoline jumping is not exactly the safest physical exercise out there.
If your young child sustains an injury while jumping on a trampoline, it can end up stunting his height gain. The thing is, kids are not the expert when it comes to trampoline safety. They like to jump around and have little thought about the danger it can pose.
Sure, it is a great exercise and can help him develop a healthy physique. But a fracture or injury while jumping will have a massive negative impact on his physical growth. That is why it is essential to use a net to make the trampoline safer for the children.
So, trampoline jumping does not stunt growth directly. But sustaining an injury while jumping can impact the growth plates and stunt your height gain.
How to Use a Trampoline to Increase Height?
If you still have your heart set out on using your trampoline to increase height, I won't stop you. Even if you do not gain any noticeable height, you will at least get a solid workout. And that in it itself is a good enough reason to spend some time jumping on a trampoline.
So let me give you a couple of tips that can help you increase your height using your trampoline.
1. Healthy Diet
I just realized; the first tip I want to give you does not have anything to do with the trampoline at all. Still, a healthy diet is the main way to boost your height gain and keep healthy. It will also give your body more energy to work with and help you work out for longer.
2. Proper Exercise
When you are using the trampoline, do not bounce around aimlessly. Instead, it is best to have a proper workout plan that involves a lot of stretching. Jumping techniques like stretch jump or pike jump can help enable your growth hormones and help you gain height.
I have talked a bit about some great trampoline exercises in my article on how a trampoline can help you lose weight. So if you have the time, it may be worth checking it out.
3. Proper Sleep
Another way to accelerate height gain is to get proper sleep each day. Getting an eight-hour sleep schedule will help negate the effects of gravity and help you get a good posture. Also, make sure you are sleeping in a good position to prevent any permanent posture damage.
4. Safety First
Trampoline jumping can be dangerous even for adults. So, make sure you are not taking any unnecessary risks while jumping. There should always be a safety net around your trampoline to minimize the risk of accidents. After all, injuring yourself can have negative impacts on height gain and can even stunt your growth.
Does Trampoline Help Increase Height in Kids?
Since there is no scientific research supporting this fact, I cannot give you a straight answer. Still, trampoline jumping does provide a fun way to exercise for young kids, and physical activities, in general, can help increase height in kids. Besides, it has a positive impact on the psyche and keeps the kids stress-free.
Does Jumping on a Trampoline Make You Shorter?
No. If you do not sustain any injuries while jumping on a trampoline, it will not make you shorter or stunt growth. However, getting a fracture while jumping on a trampoline can stunt growth in young kids.
The Bottom Line
While a trampoline might not impact height gain all that much, it is still a great exercise tool. It strengthens your core, helps you burn calories, and also gives you a fun way to spend the afternoon with your kids or friends. So, good cardio + entertainment = win – win!
I have always loved jumping on a trampoline because of these reasons. And if you are planning to get a new one for yourself, I want to make sure you are buying it for the right reasons. Unfortunately, gaining height just does not seem like a good reason to get a trampoline for your backyard. Cheers!
