Geopotential Height - 500 mb Height Current
This is a contour plot of 500 mb height in meters with a interval of 60 meters. The 500 mb level is often referred to as the steering level as most weather systems and precipitation follow the winds at this level. The winds follow the height contours and generally run from 30 to 100 knots. The speeds can be roughly estimated from the 300 mb winds as roughly 2/3rds their magnitude. This level averages around 18,000 feet above sea level and is roughly half-way up through the weather producing part of the atmosphere called the troposphere.

Transit rail stations that are compliant with requirements under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) (box 6-C) increased 178 percent from just 553 stations (out of 2,452) in 1993 to 1,537 stations (out of 2,799) in 2003 (figure 6-6). Yet, the rate at which compliance increased at commuter-rail, light-rail, and heavy-rail stations differed (figure 6-7).
The percentage of light-rail stations that are ADA accessible rose the fastest among the transit rail modes, from 24 percent compliant (92 stations) in 1993 to 76 percent (466 stations) in 2003 (figure 6-7). During the same time period, commuter-rail station accessibility grew from 23 percent (242 stations) to 56 percent (643 stations). Heavy-rail riders also experienced an increase in ADA-compliant stations, from 22 percent (217 stations) in 1993 to 41 percent (416 stations) in 2003.
Transit buses are also subject to ADA requirements. As of 2003, 95 percent of all transit buses were equipped with lifts or ramps to make them accessible to disabled riders.1

A view of downtown Moncton from city hall, 23 Jan 2018 (City of Moncton)
A low pressure system from the west is bringing another mixed bag of precipitation to the Maritimes and once it departs more cold air will filter in behind it.
Schools were cancelled in New Brunswick today as snow began in the morning followed by a changeover to ice pellets and freezing rain and eventually to rain as the temperature climbed above freezing.
Flooding is possible again since the partially frozen ground is less able to absorb heavy rainfall.
Environment Canada issued a freezing rain warning for Greater Moncton but it was dropped later in the day with less than an hour of ice pellets/freezing rain recorded.
The temperature is expected to reach 10 C by early Wednesday before plunging to -13 C by early Thursday – a difference of 23 degrees in less than a day.
Snow finally melting in NE Moncton, 05 April 2017 (Dearing)
Good news… spring may finally be arriving!
Environment Canada says the recent winter-like grip over Southeast New Brunswick will finally give way to milder temperatures and rain beginning later this week.
Temperatures will finally climb into the double digits Celsius by Friday for the first time since 01 March!
Localized flooding is possible over ground which may still be frozen and in areas with a significant snow cover.
Another sign of a change in seasons is the return of many migratory birds in Greater Moncton this week with chirping sounds not heard in months.
Environment Canada (Canadian Ice Service), 21 March 2015
Spring is officially here but anyone living in New Brunswick knows that now is often when the battle lines are drawn.
Cold Arctic air can linger and along with an almost ice-covered Gulf of St. Lawrence creates a cooling affect which repeatedly fights it out with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico.
Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for Greater Moncton as a low pressure system intensifies tonight over the Maritimes with as much as 15 cm expected by late Sunday.
The Canadian Ice Service map shows ice is breaking up in the Gulf of St. Lawrence around Anticosti Island, Lakes Ontario and Michigan are nearly ice-free but the Labrador coast and Hudson Bay are still solidly frozen.
Rainbow over Niagara Falls (Reuters)
Despite reports to the contrary, Niagara Falls has not frozen over – but the landscape around it certainly has.
A bitterly cold month with temperatures dipping close to -30 C have created an Arctic-like wonderland in the region.
As a result, almost everything near the falls has been coated in snow and ice including trees, boulders and guard rails.
Courtesy NASA, 19 Feb 2014
It has been a very cold winter in Central Canada and the American Midwest and proof of that is the mostly frozen Great Lakes.
As of this week, scientists say 88 percent of the Great Lakes are frozen over which is a level not seen since 1994.
Lakes Erie and Huron are almost entirely frozen while the much deeper Lake Ontario contains much less ice.
Temperatures could fall as low as -22°C in parts of New Brunswick tonight and it will feel even colder with the windchill.
An Arctic air mass has moved into the Maritimes and is expected to stick around for a few days.
How can it get so cold?
Cold air develops over frozen areas of the Arctic region.
At these high latitudes, there is little or no sunlight this time of year with far more outgoing than incoming heat energy.
Eventually the cold air moves south across North America and is giving us the first frigid conditions of the season.

One of the primary jobs of Pyramid is to find and invoke a view callable when a request reaches your application. View callables are bits of code which do something interesting in response to a request made to your application.
A Pyramid view callable is often referred to in conversational shorthand as a view. In this documentation, however, we need to use less ambiguous terminology because there are significant differences between view configuration, the code that implements a view callable, and the process of view lookup.
The URL Dispatch, and Traversal chapters describes how, using information from the request, a context resource is computed. But the context resource itself isn't very useful without an associated view callable. A view callable returns a response to a user, often using the context resource to do so.
The job of actually locating and invoking the "best" view callable is the job of the view lookup subsystem. The view lookup subsystem compares the resource supplied by resource location and information in the request against view configuration statements made by the developer to choose the most appropriate view callable for a specific set of circumstances.
This chapter describes how view callables work. In the View Configuration chapter, there are details about performing view configuration, and a detailed explanation of view lookup.
View callables are, at the risk of sounding obvious, callable Python objects. Specifically, view callables can be functions, classes, or instances that implement an __call__ method (making the instance callable).
View callables must, at a minimum, accept a single argument named request. This argument represents a Pyramid Request object. A request object encapsulates a WSGI environment provided to Pyramid by the upstream WSGI server. As you might expect, the request object contains everything your application needs to know about the specific HTTP request being made.
A view callable's ultimate responsibility is to create a Pyramid Response object. This can be done by creating the response object in the view callable code and returning it directly, as we will be doing in this chapter. However, if a view callable does not return a response itself, it can be configured to use a renderer that converts its return value into a Response object. Using renderers is the common way that templates are used with view callables to generate markup. See the Renderers chapter for details.
One of the easiest way to define a view callable is to create a function that accepts a single argument named request, and which returns a Response object. For example, this is a "hello world" view callable implemented as a function:
1 2 3 4
from pyramid.response import Response def hello_world(request): return Response('Hello world!')
A view callable may also be represented by a Python class instead of a function. When a view callable is a class, the calling semantics are slightly different than when it is a function or another non-class callable. When a view callable is a class, the class' __init__ is called with a request parameter. As a result, an instance of the class is created. Subsequently, that instance's __call__ method is invoked with no parameters. Views defined as classes must have the following traits:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
from pyramid.response import Response class MyView(object): def __init__(self, request): self.request = request def __call__(self): return Response('hello')
The request object passed to __init__ is the same type of request object described in Defining a View Callable as a Function.
If you'd like to use a different attribute than __call__ to represent the method expected to return a response, you can either:
Usually, view callables are defined to accept only a single argument: request. However, view callables may alternately be defined as classes, functions, or any callable that accept two positional arguments: a context resource as the first argument and a request as the second argument.
The following types work as view callables in this style:
Functions that accept two arguments: context, and request, e.g.:
1 2 3 4
from pyramid.response import Response def view(context, request): return Response('OK')
Classes that have an __init__ method that accepts context, request and a __call__ which accepts no arguments, e.g.:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
from pyramid.response import Response class view(object): def __init__(self, context, request): self.context = context self.request = request def __call__(self): return Response('OK')
Arbitrary callables that have a __call__ method that accepts context, request, e.g.:
1 2 3 4 5 6
from pyramid.response import Response class View(object): def __call__(self, context, request): return Response('OK') view = View() # this is the view callable
This style of calling convention is most useful for traversal based applications, where the context object is frequently used within the view callable code itself.
No matter which view calling convention is used, the view code always has access to the context via request.context.
A view callable may always return an object that implements the Pyramid Response interface. The easiest way to return something that implements the Response interface is to return a pyramid.response.Response object instance directly. For example:
1 2 3 4
from pyramid.response import Response def view(request): return Response('OK')
You don't need to always use Response to represent a response. Pyramid provides a range of different "exception" classes which can act as response objects too. For example, an instance of the class pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPFound is also a valid response object (see Using a View Callable to Do an HTTP Redirect). A view can actually return any object that has the following attributes.
These attributes form the notional "Pyramid Response interface".
You can issue an HTTP redirect from within a view by returning a particular kind of response.
1 2 3 4
from pyramid.httpexceptions import HTTPFound def myview(request): return HTTPFound(location='_URL_')
All exception types from the pyramid.httpexceptions module implement the Response interface; any can be returned as the response from a view. See pyramid.httpexceptions for the documentation for the HTTPFound exception; it also includes other response types that imply other HTTP response codes, such as HTTPUnauthorized for 401 Unauthorized.
Although exception types from the pyramid.httpexceptions module are in fact bona fide Python Exception types, the Pyramid view machinery expects them to be returned by a view callable rather than raised.
It is possible, however, in Python 2.5 and above, to configure an exception view to catch these exceptions, and return an appropriate Response. The simplest such view could just catch and return the original exception. See Exception Views for more details.
Usually when a Python exception is raised within a view callable, Pyramid allows the exception to propagate all the way out to the WSGI server which invoked the application.
However, for convenience, two special exceptions exist which are always handled by Pyramid itself. These are pyramid.exceptions.NotFound and pyramid.exceptions.Forbidden. Both are exception classes which accept a single positional constructor argument: a message.
In all cases, the message provided to the exception constructor is made available to the view which Pyramid invokes as request.exception.args.
The machinery which allows the special NotFound and Forbidden exceptions to be caught by specialized views as described in Using Special Exceptions In View Callables can also be used by application developers to convert arbitrary exceptions to responses.
To register a view that should be called whenever a particular exception is raised from with Pyramid view code, use the exception class or one of its superclasses as the context of a view configuration which points at a view callable you'd like to generate a response.
For example, given the following exception class in a module named helloworld.exceptions:
1 2 3
class ValidationFailure(Exception): def __init__(self, msg): self.msg = msg
You can wire a view callable to be called whenever any of your other code raises a hellworld.exceptions.ValidationFailure exception:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
from helloworld.exceptions import ValidationFailure _USER_(context=ValidationFailure) def failed_validation(exc, request): response = Response('Failed validation: %s' % exc.msg) response.status_int = 500 return response
Assuming that a scan was run to pick up this view registration, this view callable will be invoked whenever a helloworld.exceptions.ValidationError is raised by your application's view code. The same exception raised by a custom root factory or a custom traverser is also caught and hooked.
Other normal view predicates can also be used in combination with an exception view registration:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
from pyramid.view import view_config from pyramid.exceptions import NotFound from pyramid.httpexceptions import HTTPNotFound _USER_(context=NotFound, route_name='home') def notfound_view(request): return HTTPNotFound()
The above exception view names the route_name of home, meaning that it will only be called when the route matched has a name of home. You can therefore have more than one exception view for any given exception in the system: the "most specific" one will be called when the set of request circumstances match the view registration.
The only view predicate that cannot be used successfully when creating an exception view configuration is name. The name used to look up an exception view is always the empty string. Views registered as exception views which have a name will be ignored.
Normal (i.e., non-exception) views registered against a context resource type which inherits from Exception will work normally. When an exception view configuration is processed, two views are registered. One as a "normal" view, the other as an "exception" view. This means that you can use an exception as context for a normal view.

Medical Definition of University
1. Origin: OE. Universite, L. Universitas all together, the whole, the universe, a number of persons associated into one body, a society, corporation, fr. Universus all together, universal: cf. F. Universite. See Universe. 1. The universe; the whole. 2. An association, society, guild, or corporation, especially. One capable of having and acquiring property. "The universities, or corporate bodies, at Rome were very numerous. There were corporations of bakers, farmers of the revenue, scribes, and others." (Eng. Cyc) 3. An institution organised and incorporated for the purpose of imparting instruction, examining students, and otherwise promoting education in the higher branches of literature, science, art, etc, empowered to confer degrees in the several arts and faculties, as in theology, law, medicine, music, etc. A university may exist without having any college connected with it, or it may consist of but one college, or it may comprise an assemblage of colleges established in any place, with professors for instructing students in the sciences and other branches of learning. "The present universities of Europe were, originally, the greater part of them, ecclesiastical corporations, instituted for the education of churchmen... What was taught in the greater part of those universities was suitable to the end of their institutions, either theology or something that was merely preparatory to theology." (A. Smith) From the Roman words universitas, collegium, corpus, are derived the terms university, college, and corporation, of modern languages; and though these words have obtained modified significations in modern times, so as to indifferently applicable to the same things, they all agree in retaining the fundamental signification of the terms, whatever may have been added to them. There is now no university, college, or corporation, which is not a juristical person in the sense above explained [see def. 2, above]; wherever these words are applied to any association of persons not stamped with this mark, it is an abuse of terms.

While street art has a rich history in terms the formation of the urban landscape, mainly through the appropriation of wall space, Sound Tossing offers a way to play with urban aesthetics through filling space with unique acoustic input. It provides new ways to add meaning to public spaces.
The project was inspired by so-called Shoe Tossing or Shoefiti, the practice of hanging shoes which have been tied together on overhead cables such as power or telephone lines. Sound Tossing operates in a similar way to the visual codes used in Shoe Tossing; speakers are connected via cables to audio components which function in this form of urban communication as "throwing tools".
A key area is the development and distribution of open source technologies for sound interventions in the context of street art. The Sound Tossing units offered include sound generators which operate with solar energy and motion sensors or timers as well as units that convert electromagnetic frequencies into acoustic signals. Some units are equipped with recording functionality and/or transmitters so they in essence become small pirate radio stations. Detailed assembly instructions and video demonstrations for each project are provided so they can easily be set up by anyone.
Sound Tossing is a resistance movement. It is aimed a countering the dominance of acoustic advertising and new sound security tools intended to prevent young people from congregating in specific areas such as in public places and outside shops. Sound Tossing is instead a subtle sound intervention. It impacts and alters the normal course of urban life while encouraging discussion of topics such as acoustic overstimulation and public well-being. Moreover, Sound Tossing increases public awareness of the acoustic environment.

|Title||Balancing costs and effects based on a randomised comparison of Parent Management Training Oregon and Care As Usual in children with severe conduct disorders|
|Period||06 / 2008 - 12 / 2013|
|Data Supplier||ZonMw Projectenpoort|
|The aim of this project is first to evaluate the balance between costs and effects of Parent Management Training Oregon (PMTO) as compared to Care-As-Usual (CAU) in primary school children with serious behavioural problems, and second to develop a framework for economic evaluation in child and youth care. Several research questions arise from this aim.1 What are the effects of PMTO as compared to CAU at the level of the child (behaviour problems at home and at school, school performance, contact with police), the parents (parenting stress, psychological problems, parenting skills and parent satisfaction), and the family (videotaped parent-child interaction and contacts with child protection agency)?2 What are the overall costs incurred by and after PMTO as compared to CAU?3 How do different stakeholders, i.e. parents, family members, professionals and lay public value antisocial behaviour as compared to normal behaviour using direct rating scales, Time Trade Off (TTO) methods and possibly others?4 How do the outcomes of the above research questions 1 and 3 correlate with health related quality of life outcomes generally used in health economics, i.e. the Child Health Questionnaire and EQ5D?5 What is the incremental cost-effectiveness of MST as compared to CAU in children with antisocial behaviour, in terms of costs per outcome mentioned under 1 (behaviour problems avoided, delinquent act avoided, school drop out avoided, parental stress and problems decreased and skills and satisfaction increased, and abusive interactions avoided), and per QALY gained. In sum, what is the cost-effectiveness of PMTO compared to CAU?6 Can a common framework for economic evaluations in youth care be developed?
BACKGROUND The treatment of children with severe conduct disorders is a challenge for practitioners and academics. Parent Management Training Oregon (PMTO) is promising as such. In the USA, it has been shown to be effective in the treatment of children with serious forms of antisocial behavioural patterns. A study of De Ruiter and co-workers is expected to deliver substantial new evidence. It concerns a randomized controlled trial that compares PMTO to Care As Usual in the Dutch setting. This study as yet does not comprise a full economic evaluation. Knowledge on the cost-effectiveness of PMTO and other treatments for severe conduct disorders is lacking. In general, such economic evaluations of child and youth care can be expected to differ from those conducted in healthcare in several aspects, e.g. valuation of outcomes, accounting for participation in paid labour and societal costs of services use and delinquent behaviour. Thus the standard methodology for the assessment of costs and of outcomes and for the valuation of outcomes may need to be adapted to the specific setting.AIM The aim of this project is first to evaluate the balance between costs and effects of PMTO as compared to Care-As-Usual (CAU) in children with severe conduct disorders and behavioural problems, and second to outline a broad framework for economic evaluation in child and youth care.WORKING PLAN To reach these aims, we propose a study of costs and effects of PMTO framed within the already planned study of De Ruiter and co-workers on the effects of PMTO in the Netherlands. We will add to the fieldwork of that study:-an assessment of costs incurred for PMTO and CAU provided to the control group-an assessment of additional outcomes (effects) such as quality of life experienced (Child Health Questionnaire and EQ5D) not currently included in De Ruiter s study, but standard practice in the assessment of cost-effectiveness in health care (i.e. health economics)-an estimate of effects to be expected after the intervention period, based on a synthesis of the available evidence regarding long-term effects. Moreover, we propose to perform a more general evaluation among relevant stakeholder groups of the utility of several outcomes that are considered relevant in the realm of severe antisocial behaviour. Regarding costs, actual costs of the interventions as well as associated costs will be determined. This will comprise the (time) costs of the professionals, inclusive of training, overhead, communication with relevant stakeholders, and time and travel costs of other relevant stakeholders (family members, educational system etc.) directly involved in planning and coaching of the children with severe conduct disorders.Effects to be assessed will primarily concern the primary outcomes as defined by De Ruiter and co-workers, i.e. outcomes concerning the child (behaviour problems at home and at school, school performance, contact with police), concerning the parents (parenting stress, psychological problems, parenting skills and parent satisfaction), and concerning the family (videotaped parent-child interaction and contacts with child protection agency). These outcomes in theory enable the performance of cost-effectiveness analyses, in which incremental costs are balanced against events averted for a number of different outcomes. Regarding the impact of the condition and successive treatments, we will explore specific domains of (health related) quality of life. We intend to approach several groups of stakeholders, i.e. parents, professionals from the care sector and the judicial sector to develop scales, and measure and establish a valuation or utility score for typical antisocial behaviour. Collaboration with other groups granted financial support for evaluation of specific interventions in this field and freeing or obtaining additional resources for the latter might be a viable option. Direct rating scales, Time Trade Off (TTO) procedures (i.e. which proportion of a given lifetime is an individual willing to trade off if quality of life improves to a defined degree) and Willingness To Pay (WTP) procedure (idem, but now in monetary terms), will be used to valuate the outcomes of interest The project will be performed in close co-operation with other research groups working on the economic evaluation of child and youth care under the umbrella of the same ZonMw program. We foresee that the latter part can only be performed on the basis of such a co-operation.EXPECTED RESULTS The expertise of the research group covers a broad range, from child and youth care, and ortho-pedagogy, to preventive child health care, and mental health, epidemiology, medical technology assessment and economic evaluation. We expect this project to yield important new knowledge that can be applied in these fields. Also the results will contribute to the scientific knowledge needed for care and decision making in child and youth care.

Is Reboot and Restart Same (Pictures!)
Sometimes, rebooting or restarting your device may be referred to as a soft reset, which means the exact same thing: you are turning the device off and back on again to start with a clean slate so that your programs can run normally.
The good news is that even though neglecting to restart your phone periodically could zap memory and cause crashes, it won't directly kill your battery.
What Is Difference Between Reboot and Restart
When you choose the restart option on your computer, you are telling the operating system to restart every application that is currently running on it, whereas pressing the reboot button is equivalent to forcing the operating system to restart.
Do Reboot Means Restart
Rebooting is typically required after a computer crashes, which means it stops functioning due to a malfunction. Rebooting is starting a computer for a second or third time after booting, which is starting the operating system of a computer.

Is Reboot and Restart Same in Mobile
Resetting, on the other hand, refers to returning the device to the state in which it was manufactured. Rebooting is the same as restarting and sufficiently close to turning off your device before turning it back on.

I guess I was too much into NIME-organization back in March, to notice the launch of the The Million Song Dataset. It contains no audio, but 300 GB worth of metadata about 1 million popular music songs. This sounds like hours of great fun for music researchers around the world, and will probably also be a great resource for music students working on MIR-applications. I would also expect that it is possible to use this for a number of creative applications.
Here is a quote from the press release:
For far too long, researchers and engineers working on Music Information Retrieval (MIR) have been forced to pay a hefty ante before being able to conduct their research: namely, they've had to build a set of data on which test their theories and hone their algorithms.
It may have started as a flippant suggestion for how to solve that problem, but The Million Song Dataset is now real, and anyone can download it. A collaboration between The Echo Nest and Columbia University's LabROSA department (Laboratory for the Recognition and Organization of Speech and Audio), The Million Song Dataset has four main objectives:
- To encourage research on algorithms that scale to commercial sizes
- To provide a reference dataset for evaluating research
- As a shortcut alternative to creating a large dataset with The Echo Nest's API
- To help new researchers get started in the MIR field.
What could you say but thanks!

The Reg. Science-Fellows project is developing a cohort of people in southern Africa with practical experience of regulatory assessment. It is organising a fellowship scheme jointly managed by the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe and the University of Zimbabwe. Its aim is to develop a cohort of medicines reviewers and regulatory science professionals with particular expertise in key areas of product assessment. During 2021, it continued to organise short courses for regulators and regulatory affairs professionals in southern Africa.
Among other events, the SEN-ETHICS project, which is enabling Senegal to strengthen and harmonise its regulatory processes for clinical research, hosted a webinar on 'Ethical Issues on the response against the COVID-19 pandemic: Experts' viewpoint' in 2021. In addition, the AFREENET project, which concluded in February 2021, held a training session dedicated to the questions that arise during outbreaks, bringing together 40 participants from ethics committees in Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire and Benin.
The BERC-Luso project, which is building ethics review and clinical research oversight capacity in five Portuguese-speaking countries (Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique and Sao Tomé and Príncipe), organised more than 30 webinars and meetings with partner institutions in 2021. Topics discussed included informed consent in pandemic times, clinical research and procedures during pandemics, and innovation and clinical research.
The project also organised intensive training sessions on biomedical research and clinical trials, which were attended by five trainees from each of the five countries participating in the project. It also offered a six-day practical internship opportunity in Lisbon, Portugal.
EDCTP's contribution towards ethics and regulatory activities in Africa
Establishment of new national ethics committees where these do not exist.
Increased public awareness of research ethics review and regulatory oversight of clinical trials.
Higher qualified staff of national ethics committees and national regulatory authorities in research ethics and ethics evaluation.
More efficient turnaround times of study protocols and effective pharmacovigilance reporting.
Improved compliance of legal frameworks for national ethics committees and national regulatory authorities with international standards.
Improved efficiency of national ethics committees in providing research ethics oversight.
EDCTP-supported ethics and regulatory projects are being conducted in 38 sub-Saharan African countries.
In 2021, the BCA-WA-ETHICS II project also launched its virtual research ethics secretariat. This is a virtual helpdesk available to all West African national research ethics committees (NRECs) free of charge. The aim of the secretariat is to strengthen the process of ethical research review in West Africa and to harmonise protocol-evaluation tools. The secretariat works directly with members of NRECs, assesses their needs, and provides technical support to improve their capacities in governance, research ethics, gender mainstreaming and systematic evaluation of research protocols.
The year also saw the launch of the latest edition of the Procedural Manual of the National Health Research Ethics Committee of Senegal. This gender-sensitive manual, developed in collaboration with the BCA-WA-ETHICS project, aims to improve the quality of health research conducted in Senegal, taking into account the needs and experiences of different population groups. The manual will be shared, to inspire other national ethics committees to integrate sex and gender considerations into their procedures.
Building on the success of the BCA-WA-ETHICS project, its follow-up – BCA-WA-ETHICS II – was launched in 2021. The project, spanning institutions in Benin, Mali, Senegal and Spain, has had a strong emphasis on gender issues and mainstreaming a gender perspective into all aspects of ethics review. In 2021, it published the French version of its publication 'The ethicist's practical guide to the evaluation of preclinical research from a sex and gender perspective'. It also organised a virtual conference, 'Lumière Du Sud: Établir des alliances pour l'Agenda 2030 avec les femmes scientifiques africaines' (Light from the South: Establishing alliances for the 2030 Agenda with African women scientists), to promote the contributions of African women scientists.
In November 2021, BCA-WA-ETHICS II launched its webinar series 'Biostatistics for ethicists', which aims to strengthen the capacities of ethicists and research evaluators in biostatistics and research methodology. The webinar attracted 32 participants from six sub-Saharan African countries. Further webinars are being held in 2022, and are available to view on the project's website. At the end of 2021, the project also opened registration for the first virtual training programme in its e-learning work package, 'Training on research ethics, gender mainstreaming, NREC governance, and audit preparedness'. The course took place over seven days in January 2022.
EDCTP funds multiple South–South and South–North consortia aiming to build capacity in ethics review and other key oversight activities, providing opportunities to share experience and encouraging mutual learning. Although the COVID-19 pandemic meant that many planned activities took place online rather than in person in 2021, projects were still able to advance their capacity-building agendas, and organise activities of direct relevance to the pandemic.
As well as having scientific capacity for clinical research, it is also critical that countries in sub-Saharan Africa are able to ensure effective governance of all stages of clinical research studies. This includes ethics review of research proposals, through institutional and national research ethics committees, and monitoring of clinical studies in progress. These activities are important for protecting the interests, health and wellbeing of study participants, and to maintain public trust in research.
EDCTP-funded projects organised multiple events and training activities in 2021 to build capacity in ethics review and clinical research oversight.

Application.FeatureInstall Property (Access)
office 365 dev account|Last Updated: 6/12/2017
|
1 Contributor
You can use the FeatureInstall property to specify or determine how Microsoft Access handles calls to methods and properties that require features not yet installed. Read/write MsoFeatureInstall.
Syntax
expression. FeatureInstall
expression A variable that represents an Application object.
Remarks
When VBA code references an object that is not installed the Microsoft Installer technology will attempt to install the required feature. You use the FeatureInstall property to control what happens when an uninstalled object is referenced. When this property is set to the default, any attempt to use an uninstalled object causes the Installer technology to try to install the requested feature. In some circumstances this may take some time, and the user may believe that the machine has stopped responding to additional commands.
You can set the FeatureInstall property to msoFeatureInstallOnDemandWithUI so users can see that something is happening as the feature is being installed. You can set the FeatureInstall property to msoFeatureInstallNone if you want to trap the error that is returned and display your own dialog box to the user or take some other custom action.
If you have the UserControl property set to False, users will not be prompted to install new features even if the FeatureInstall property is set to msoFeatureInstallOnDemand. If the UserControl property is set to True, an installation progress meter will appear if the FeatureInstall property is set to msoFeatureInstallOnDemand.
Example
This example checks the value of the FeatureInstall property. If the property is set to msoFeatureInstallNone, the code displays a message box that asks the user whether they want to change the property setting. If the user responds "Yes", the property is set to msoFeatureInstallOnDemand. The example uses an object variable named MyOfficeApp that is dimensioned as an application object.
Dim myofficeapp As Access.Application
Set myofficeapp = New Access.Application
With MyOfficeApp
 If .FeatureInstall = msoFeatureInstallNone Then
 Reply = MsgBox("Uninstalled features for " _
 &; "this application may " &; vbCrLf _
 &; "cause a run-time error when called." _
 &; vbCrLf &; vbCrLf _
 &; "Would you like to change this setting" &; vbCrLf _
 &; "to automatically install missing features?", _
 vbYesNo, "Feature Install Setting")
 If Reply = vbYes Then
 .FeatureInstall = msoFeatureInstallOnDemand
 End If
 End If
End With

Meaning of Vasant Panchmi: The Vasant Panchmi is also spell as Basant Panchami which reflects the arrival of spring season. The day is celebrated as the Saraswati Pooja where goddess Saraswati is worshiped. The day is celebrated on the fifth day of the Magh month of 'Shukla Paksh', therefore the Vasant Panchami is also called as the 'Shree Panchami' or 'Saraswati Panchami'.
Maa SaraswatiGoddess of Learning:Goddess Saraswati is worshiped on the day of Vasant Panchami. Maa Saraswati reflects the symbol of vedic knowledge and wisdom. Goddess Saraswati is the goddess of great learning, wealth of humanity and wealth of knowledge. According to the Hindu mythology the goddess is sitting with the white attire, white flower and white pearl and sitting on the white lotus which is floating on the water.
Rituals:The mythological history of the goddess Saraswati is associated with the holy rituals that are performed on the banks of river Saraswati. She is also worshiped as the goddess of speech which is also attributed to the formation of words.
Celebrations:On the day of the festival there is the environment of great festivity and the festival also marks the end of the winters. On this day the yellow color is of great significance, people also offers the yellow flowers in worship and also puts yellow tilak on everyone's forehead. At everyone's home the Kesar Halwa is prepared on the day which is also in yellow color. The devotees also visits temples and offers the prayers to the various gods.
The Vasant Panchmi is the festival that is celebrated in North India and is also the festival of nature and there is no story that is associated as it is in the case of the mostly Hindu festivals. On the day of festival goddess Saraswati is generally worshiped by the teachers and students in the northern and eastern part of the country.
Prasadam:The 'Prasadam' of the goddess at the time of the Basant Panchami differs from place to place and community to community. Some of the devotees offers 'Ber', a fruit that is found in Northern and Eastern India or 'Sangari' is the type of bean that is grown on the roots of the radish plant.

seL4 Dynamic Libraries: Processes & Elf loading
This tutorial shows how a separate ELF file can be loaded and expanded into a VSpace, and subsequently executed, while facilitating IPC between the two modules. It also shows how threads with different CSpaces have to maneuver in order to pass capabilities to one another.
Don't gloss over the globals declared before
main() – they're declared
for your benefit so you can grasp some of the basic data structures.
Uncomment them one by one as needed when going through the tasks.
You'll observe that the things you've already covered in the second tutorial are filled out and you don't have to repeat them: in much the same way, we won't be repeating conceptual explanations on this page, if they were covered by a previous tutorial in the series.
- Once again, repeat the spawning of a thread: however, this time the two threads will only share the same vspace, but have different CSpaces. This is an automatic side effect of the way that sel4utils creates new "processes".
- Learn how the init thread in an seL4 system performs some types of initialization that aren't traditionally left to userspace.
- Observe and understand the effects of creating thread that do not share the same CSpace.
- Understand IPC across CSpace boundaries.
- Understand how minting a capability to a thread in another CSpace works.

Virtual memory management
Aside from receiving information about IRQs in the IRQControl object capability, and information about available IO-Ports, and ASID availability, and several other privileged bits of information, the init thread is also responsible, surprisingly, for reserving certain critical ranges of memory as being used, and unavailable for applications.
This call to
that. For an interesting look at what sorts of things the init thread
static int reserve_initial_task_regions(vspace_t *vspace, void *existing_frames),
which is eventually called on by
sel4utils_bootstrap_vspace_with_bootinfo_leaky(). So while this
function may seem tedious, it's doing some important things.

out of creating a new "processs". We skipped a number of steps. Take a

On success, you should see a different error:
dynamic-3: _EMAIL_:196 [Cond failed: new_ep_cap == 0] Failed to mint a badged copy of the IPC endpoint into the new thread's CSpace. sel4utils_mint_cap_to_process takes a cspacepath_t: double check what you passed.
Now, in this particular case, we are making the new thread be the sender. Recall that the sender must have a capability to the endpoint that the receiver is listening on, in order to send to that listener. But in this scenario, our threads do not share the same CSpace! The only way the new thread will know which endpoint it needs a capability to, is if we tell it. Furthermore, even if the new thread knows which endpoint object we are listening on, if it doesn't have a capability to that endpoint, it still can't send data to us. So we must provide our new thread with both a capability to the endpoint we're listening on, and also make sure, that that capability we give it has sufficient privileges to send across the endpoint.
There is a number of ways we could approach this, but in this tutorial we decided to just pre-initialize the sender's CSpace with a sufficient capability to enable it to send to us right from the start of its execution. We could also have spawned the new thread as a listener instead, and made it wait for us to send it a message with a sufficient capability.
So we use
vka_cspace_make_path(), which locates one free capability
slot in the selected CSpace, and returns a handle to it, to us. We then
filled that free slot in the new thread's CSpace with a badged
capability to the endpoint we are listening on, so as so allow it to
send to us immediately. We could have filled the slot with an unbadged
capability, but then if we were listening for multiple senders, we
wouldn't know who was whom.
/* TASK 3: make a cspacepath for the new endpoint cap */ /* hint 1: vka_cspace_make_path() * void vka_cspace_make_path(vka_t *vka, seL4_CPtr slot, cspacepath_t *res) * _USER_ vka Vka interface to use for allocation of objects. * _USER_ slot A cslot allocated by the cspace alloc function * _USER_ res Pointer to a cspacepath struct to fill out * * hint 2: use the cslot of the endpoint allocated above */ cspacepath_t ep_cap_path; seL4_CPtr new_ep_cap = 0;
On success, the output should not change.
Badge a capability
As discussed above, we now just mint a badged copy of a capability to the endpoint we're listening on, into the new thread's CSpace, in the free slot that the VKA library found for us.
/* TASK 4: copy the endpont cap and add a badge to the new cap */ /* hint 1: sel4utils_mint_cap_to_process() * seL4_CPtr sel4utils_mint_cap_to_process(sel4utils_process_t *process, cspacepath_t src, seL4_CapRights rights, seL4_CapData_t data) * _USER_ process Process to copy the cap to * _USER_ src Path in the current cspace to copy the cap from * _USER_ rights The rights of the new cap * _USER_ data Extra data for the new cap (e.g., the badge) * _USER_ 0 on failure, otherwise the slot in the processes cspace. * * hint 2: for the rights, use seL4_AllRights * hint 3: for the badge use seL4_CapData_Badge_new() * seL4_CapData_t CONST seL4_CapData_Badge_new(seL4_Uint32 Badge) * _USER_[in] Badge The badge number to use * _USER_ A CapData structure containing the desired badge info * * seL4_CapData_t is generated during build. * * hint 4: for the badge value use EP_BADGE */
On success, the output should look something like:

NSW's rail expansion has been met with issues up and down the supply chain, but one of the earliest was the revalation that new trains were built too wide to safely fit through existing tunnels in the Blue Mountains.
Now, alongside prepared plans to alter existing tunnels, platforms, and stations to accomodate the new trains, proposals have been floated to reduce the minimum safe distance allowed between tunnel walls and trains.
The new trains (built in South Korea) will be about 3.1 meters across, making them too wide for eight of ten tunnels between Newnes Junction and Zig Zag station in the Blue Mountains.
Transport for NSW's preferred option is to scrape at the tunnel walls to widen them and to alter the minimum clearance standard so that the new intercity trains can run on both lines and pass each other through the tunnels.
As repairs will close some sections of track for up to two weeks, some proposals have suggested lowering the minimum required distance in order to reduce downtime. The current standards allow a minimum distance of 200 millimeters (20cm) between the outline of a train in motion and tunnel walls.
There is no confirmed new minimum distance yet, but according to Transport for NSW, "new draft standard to ensure the safe operation of trains is being finalized and reviewed by the train designer and the Assets Standard Authority."
Labor leader Luke Foley said people had a right to be suspicious that the safety standard was to be changed to fix the government's "bungle" of buying trains that did not fit through the tunnels.
"[Transport Minister] Andrew Constance should tell us what it is going to cost to widen the tunnels and complete the track modifications from Springwood to Lithgow," he said.
"He also needs to detail what special operational restrictions will be imposed including speed limits and how these will be enforced."

The study involved 66 spider-phobic women who watched a video of a spider 14 times. The participants were randomly divided into different groups to either watch the video every two hours or every 12 hours, and either in the morning or evening, or after spending a night sleeping or a full day awake.
The researchers also sounded off a loud noise during some of the videos and then measured the participants' palm sweat in response.
Overall, women who managed to get a good night's sleep after watching the spider videos — before being shown the spiders again — were less likely to rate the spider high on a scale of "fearfulness, disgust, and unpleasantness," according to the Harvard Gazette.
On the other hand, subjects who stayed awake for 12 hours after watching the spider videos and were then shown the videos again at the end of the day exhibited a stronger stress response.
There was no evident difference in reaction between participants who viewed the spider videos in the morning or the evening.
"Thus, sleep following exposure therapy may promote retention and generalization of extinction learning," the researchers wrote in the study.
The researchers added that REM sleep in particular could be responsible for the effect.
Recently, a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences study showed that severely arachnophobic adults who participated in just one session of therapy experienced brain changes that allowed them to hold a tarantula in their hands. The effect lasted six months after the therapy session.
"Before treatment, some of these participants wouldn't walk on grass for fear of spiders or would stay out of their home or dorm room for days if they thought a spider was present," study researcher Katherina Hauner, Ph.D., postdoctoral fellow in neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said in a statement.
"But after a two or three-hour treatment, they were able to walk right up and touch or hold a tarantula. And they could still touch it after six months," Hauner said.
The study is published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research.

New plant discovered in Fiji
19 January 2012 | News story
A new flowering plant belonging to the Medinilla plant group has been discovered in the highlands of Matasawalevu village, on the island of Kadavu in Fiji. The plant was found during a biodiversity assessment of the Nakasaleka district carried out as part of IUCN's Water and Nature Initiative (WANI).
There are around 193 known species of Medinilla, occurring in Madagascar, Africa, South Asia and the Pacific Islands. Of the 193 species, 11 can only be found in Fiji. One of them is the Tagimoucia flower, Medinilla waterhousei, the floral emblem of Fiji.
IUCN's WANI works with local communities to help them better manage water resources on Kadavu island. The team was monitoring the degradation of the river basin in the area when the new plant was discovered.
"The discovery of this previously unknown species of plant gives us a sense of just how fragile nature can be," says Dr Milika Sobey, Water and Wetlands Programme Coordinator at IUCN's Oceania Regional Office. "The fact that it was found during work on a watershed management project is one more lesson in how important it is that nature is included in the priorities for water management."
"Through the Water and Nature Initiative IUCN has shown in more than 30 countries worldwide that by working with local people and partners, it is possible to put in place sustainable solutions that meet the water needs of both people and nature," says Dr Mark Smith, Director of the IUCN Global Water Programme.
The species was found on the border of grassland and primary forest. This location makes it highly vulnerable to bush fires that are common in the area.
"We only managed to find one plant of this kind," says Mr Marika Tuiwawa, of the University of the South Pacific's Institute of Applied Science, IUCN member and partner in the WANI project, who discovered the species. "Commercial agricultural activities and uncontrolled bush fires are the main threats to this species. A simple fire could destroy it in a matter of minutes."
The plant's common name has not been confirmed yet but the name Medinilla matasawalevu has been suggested to illustrate its location.
"The fact that only one plant of this kind was found so far and that it occurs in such a vulnerable place should set alarm bells ringing," says Dr Jane Smart, Global Director of IUCN's Biodiversity Conservation Group. "The challenge now is to protect the new species and raise awareness of its importance among local communities, to secure its long term future."
Work is currently underway to confirm the exact classification of the new species, for which DNA research may be carried out.

Write brokers/services for Bitbucket Cloud
Deprecation Notice
In the future, you will no longer be able to create a POST service from the Services screen, as Bitbucket's updated webhooks will replace this service. Existing services will continue to function as expected for now.
To create a new webhook, refer to the webhooks documentation.
No longer accepting new brokers
We are no longer accepting new brokers. Please refer to the information below about using the POST service.
Bitbucket Cloud integrates with external services through a set of brokers that run in response to certain events. Brokers are Python scripts that receive information about an event and then take one or more actions. For example, there is a Bamboo broker for integrating with Bamboo. The Bitbucket team developed many of our brokers. Third-party vendors also developed several brokers.
Using the POST service to integrate your application with Bitbucket Cloud
Most third-party web applications have a public RESTAPI. For example, Jenkins has a one. Using a third-party API, you can pass parameters to the service using Bitbucket's POST service. Bitbucket's POST service passes a payload to your third-party web application through its API. Your third-party application is responsible for receiving and transforming the payload.
To add a ^^top of topic href="/display/BITBUCKET/POST+service+management">POST service to the Bitbucket repository:
 1. Review the third-party REST API for the appropriate POST call.
 For example, your URL can include a user token such as:
 2. Navigate to your repository settings.
 3. Choose Services from the left-hand navigation.
 The Services page displays.
 4. Choose POST from the services dropdown.
 5. Press Add service.
 6. Enter the URL for your third-party service.
 7. Press Save.
 The new POST service appears in the active Services list.
The next time a user pushes to your repository, the POST service fires and sends a payload of data to your service. The service should receive the payload and handle the data appropriately using our REST API. For example, the application could call back into Bitbucket for specific resources using OAuth or other information, if needed.
The payload sent to your service by the service
The push payload, is a uniform dictionary containing information on the repository, the commits, and the service-specific values.
When a user makes a push against a repository, Bitbucket POSTs to the URL you provided. The body of POST request contains information about the repository where the change originated, a list of recent commits, and the user that made the push.

 What events do the brokers fire on? Is it only on a push, or are there others?
 EDIT: We'd like our jenkins instance to respond to pull requests, in order to test them before they hit our mainline code. I'm assuming that we'd need a notification of a pull request to do this, but if there's another way I'm open to it.

Professor Elliot Meyerowitz ForMemRS
Elliot Meyerowitz is an American plant scientist who has pioneered the use of the mustard plant Arabidopsis thaliana as a model species for plant genetics and development studies. Elliot led the application of cutting-edge technologies to plant research, enabling elucidation of the molecular basis of phenomena such as the formation of flowers.
Originally specialising in developmental genetics of fruit flies, in the 1980s Elliot decided to apply newly invented molecular technologies to plants. Little was known about plant genetics, but by sequencing, cloning and studying genes in Arabidopsis, he established the species as a model organism that is now studied around the world.
Combining live imaging with molecular-tagging technologies, Elliot detailed how flower formation is controlled. He discovered the first plant hormone receptor and identified genes that control cell numbers in the plant growing tip. Elliot's work has provided the fundamental framework around which the field of plant development has been built.

This example shows how to do freerun signal tracing using an Simulink® Real-Time™ host scope. After the script builds and downloads the oscillator model, xpcosc, to the target computer, it adds a scope of type 'host' to the real-time application and the signals 'Integrator1' and 'Signal Generator' to the scope. The application is started and the host scope is used for data acquisition and display. Note:
The model sample time is 250 usec.
The scope is set to acquire 200 samples with a decimation factor of 4.
This corresponds to a display length of 250e-6 * 200 * 4 = 0.2 seconds.
The scope is started in Freerun mode, and its status is monitored until it reaches the 'Finished' state. Next, the scope data is uploaded to the development computer and plotted. This process repeats 25 times. After every fifth run, the damping gain 'Gain1/Gain' is set to a new random value.
Use'slrtpingtarget' to test the connection between the development and target computers.
if ~strcmp(slrtpingtarget,'success') error(message('xPCTarget:examples:Connection')); end
Open the oscillator model, xpcosc. Under the model's configuration parameter Simulink Real-Time option settings, the system target file has been set to slrt.tlc. Hence, building the model will create an executable image, xpcosc.dlm, that can be run on a computer booted with the Simulink Real-Time kernel.
Build the model and download the image, xpcosc.dlm, to the target computer.
set_param('xpcosc','RTWVerbose','off'); % Configure for a non-Verbose build. rtwbuild('xpcosc'); % Build and download application.

Do tyres have expiry dates?
Tyres don't last forever, and old tyres can be a serious safety risk. As tyres age, cracks may form beneath the surface, causing the tyre to fail under load. If you haven't done so recently, it could be time to check how old the tyres on your vehicle are, and if they need replacing. Read on to find out how to check the age of your tyres and stay safe on the road.
What happens to old tyres as they age?
Tyres are made of various types of textile, steel and rubber compounds that have properties that evolve over time. As the rubber in a tyre gets older and is exposed to the elements, the strength of the bond between the rubber and the steel belts is reduced. When an old tyre is put under load, cracks in the rubber will begin to form.
These cracks may appear on the tyre's surface, but they can also appear out of sight within the structure of the tyre. Eventually, the cracking can even cause the steel belts in the tread to separate from the rest of the tyre. Driving on such a tyre is a serious safety risk.

How to check the age of a tyre
How can I check the age of a tyre?
Check the age of a tyre by looking for the 10 to 12 digit serial tyre identification number, found on the tyre's sidewall. This identification number is usually preceded by the acronym "DOT", for example: DOT ELCB DKE 1800.
Tyres manufactured after 2000
If the tyre was manufactured after the year 2000, then you can determine its age by looking at the last four digits of this number. These represent the week the tyre was made, followed by the year. In the case of the serial number used above, the "18" would indicate the 18th week, and the "00" would indicate 2000. So, the tyre was manufactured in the 18th week of 2000.

Tyres manufactured before 2000
If the tyre was manufactured before the year 2000, things get a little more complex. For these tyres, age is indicated by the last three digits. Take for example the serial number DOT XYZ WT1 188. In this serial number, the 18 indicates the week the tyre was manufactured, while the 8 indicates the year of the decade. So, in this case, the tyre was made on the 18th week of the 8th year of the decade. During the 1990 – 2000 decade some tyres were marked with a triangle pointing to the last digit of the serial number in order to distinguish them from previous decades.

Still not sure of the age of your tyres?
Driving on old tyres can be a serious safety risk. If you're not sure how old your tyres are, pop into your local Bridgestone store, and ask one of our friendly staff for help.

Do tyres have an age limit?
Tyres should be removed once they reach ten years of age, regardless of appearance, mileage or actual wear. However, most tyres will need replacing before they reach the ten year mark. That's why it's important to keep a close eye on the condition of your tyres.
Take the time to regularly check your tyres' visual condition and inflation pressure. If you notice any visible damage or performance changes, such as cracking, increased air loss, or additional noise or vibration, it's time to have your tyres checked by a professional.
Along with your own regular inspections, we recommend that all tyres beyond five years old be inspected by a qualified expert at least once a year. Our staff can let you know whether or not your tyres are safe to continue using. If the tyres were original equipment on the vehicle, you should also follow the vehicle manufacturer's tyre replacement recommendations when specified.

James City County is one of the fastest-growing places in Virginia, according to the 2020 census. However, the expansion is far from uniform across the county. Last week, the Board of Supervisors supported a redistricting plan to respond to the growth pressures.
The supervisors mooted other potential changes to the future of elections in the county including reducing the number of precincts due to the rise in early voting and a move away from polling stations in schools in favor of churches.
A report to the county from Assistant County Administrator Jason Purse and Elizabeth Parman, assistant county attorney, highlighted the growth pressures the county faces.
The report noted that the county's population increased from 67,009 in 2010 to 78,254 in 2020, an increase of 17%.
"In comparison, Virginia grew by 8% and Hampton Roads grew by 5% between 2010 and 2020. James City County is the eighth fastest-growing locality in Virginia. 2020 Census data reflect an overall increase in population across all districts; however, the percent increase was not even across districts," the report noted.
"Stonehouse is now the largest district with a total population of 17,770, a 35% increase in population from 2010," the report stated. "Roberts is the smallest district with a total population of 14,414, a 5% increase in population from 2010. The Berkeley and Jamestown districts each grew by 18%, on pace with the County as a whole, while the Powhatan district grew by 9%."
Virginia law requires local districts have similar populations, resulting in the need for a redistricting, the report stated. However, the rapid growth in Stonehouse means the county's largest district is now 23% bigger than its smallest. Stonehouse is the most northerly district in the county, abutting the York River.
Purse and Parman presented two redistricting plans for the board to consider Sep. 28. Option one entailed the moving of 3,403 people across districts, about 4% of the total population
"In this map, an area with 1,723 people north of Route 60 and southwest of Highway 30 moves from Stonehouse to Powhatan. This area includes Skillman Estates, The Retreat, Meadow Lake and Racefield," the report stated.
"A second area with 218 people east of Little Creek Dam Road, Little Creek and Yarmouth Creek moves from Stonehouse to Powhatan. A third area with 501 people north of John Tyler Highway and Brick Bat Road and south of Bush Neck Road and Jolly Pond Road moves from Powhatan to Berkeley. A fourth area with 961 people east of Jamestown Road and including Jamestown Island moves from Berkeley to Roberts. This area includes Powhatan Shores, Landfall at Jamestown, Raleigh Square, and the Cottages at Stone Haven."
The second option entailed the removal of 9,305 people across districts — roughly 12% of the total population in a more complicated redistricting. The board voted unanimously for county staff to proceed with the first option.
"This is a first step," Parman said. "We are asking that the board has a look at these maps and considers reaching a district-level consensus."
Supervisor Jim Icenhour said redistricting is a common occurrence in the county.
"I have been here 26 years. I have lived in the same spot and been in three districts. It happens a lot," he said.
Icenhour said the board should consider reducing the number of precincts. He said four districts have four precincts and one has three. "Quite a few of us have very small precincts." He asked if the rise in early voting could allow three precincts across the board.
"It would be tremendous savings in expense," he said.
Parman said the request would have to go to the Virginia attorney general.
Supervisor Ruth Larson said she has raised safety concerns about schools being used as polling stations in the past and suggested churches be considered as an alternative.
"Are we going to look at other options besides using schools?" she asked.
Purse said the county has been working closely with Director of Elections and General Registrar Dianna Moorman over potential changes to the voting system.
"She's very interested in working with us about and trying to figure out if we can identify new places, better places and trying to figure out where that central voting place should be, whether we should keep it at the Rec Center," Purse said.
Supervisor John McGlennon said the first option was "significantly superior" to the second. The other supervisors agreed.

MMN 'Digital Manufacturing' Event
The next Manufacturing Measurement Network (MMN) event entitled 'Digital Manufacturing' will take place at the usual venue in the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre, Firth Street, Huddersfield on 17th October 2017 .
The next MMN event will attempt to clarify what is actually meant by 'Digital Manufacturing' and how it can be adopted and the benefits embraced by manufacturers.
We will focus on SMEs as it is smaller businesses who often find the challenges of introducing new technologies more challenging due to time and cost constraints, we will attempt to challenge pre-conceived ideas, to bring clarity and understanding to how you can take the first steps in becoming more digitally enabled.
There are many reasons why manufacturers should consider adopting new digital technologies as soon as possible including:
- Reduce the cost of unplanned maintenance shut downs to boost productivity,
- Potential pressure from higher tiers in the supply chain to share data, possibly even live views of suppliers manufacturing processes,
- Opportunities for adoption of digital technologies to better understand, manage and control manufacturing processes, thereby reducing the cost of quality or energy use,
- Helping to create more flexible manufacturing systems which are more agile and able to react quickly to customers emerging needs.
Adopting digital technologies does not necessarily mean designing new manufacturing processes from scratch, much can be done to instrument current systems in order to be able to capture useful data. It is the intelligent use of this data that can make a difference to how a business operates.
Register for our Digital Manufacturing event to find out more, to network with like-minded businesses and to stay in touch with new technologies and new ideas. Learn how to use data to create business benefits.

Characteristics of negative DC discharge in a wire–cylinder configuration under coal pyrolysis gas components at high temperatures
This work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of negative DC discharge under coal pyrolysis gas components (CO2, H2, N2, CH4, CO) and air. The characteristics of negative DC discharge were studied in a wire–cylinder configuration at an ambient temperature range of 20–600 °C by analyzing V–I characteristics, discharge photographs, and gas composition. With increasing temperature, corona onset voltage, spark breakdown voltage and operational voltage range for corona discharge decrease, but discharge current and electron current ratio increase. Discharge current of CO2 is higher than that of air due to the difference of electronegativity. During CO2 discharge, with the increase of output voltage, three types of discharge are successively observed, namely corona, glow and arc. However, during H2 discharge, only glow discharge is observed. Temperatures significantly affect the capability of CO to attach electrons. The discharge characteristic of CO is similar to the electronegative gas media at 20 °C and the non-electronegative gas media when the temperature exceeds 350 °C. Chemical reactions and carbon generation are observed during the CH4 and CO discharge process. The product of carbon filaments under the CH4 gas medium leads to discharge current volatility and short circuit. These results assist in understanding the property of ESP at high temperatures.


text: Operation and maintenance (O&M) of drinking water distribution networks (DWDNs) in tropical countries simultaneously face the control of acute and chronic risks due to the presence of microorganisms and disinfection by-products, respectively. In this study, results from a detailed field characterization of microbiological, chemical and infrastructural parameters of a tropical-climate DWDN are presented. Water physicochemical parameters and the characteristics of the network were assessed to evaluate the relationship between abiotic and microbiological factors and their association with the presence of total trihalomethanes (TTHMs). Illumina sequencing of the bacterial 16s rRNA gene revealed significant differences in the composition of biofilm and planktonic communities. The highly diverse biofilm communities showed the presence of methylotrophic bacteria, which suggest the presence of methyl radicals such as THMs within this habitat. Microbiological parameters correlated with water age, pH, temperature and free residual chlorine. The results from this study are necessary to increase the awareness of O&M practices in DWDNs required to reduce biofilm formation and maintain appropriate microbiological and chemical water quality, in relation to biofilm detachment and DBP formation.

The magneto-plasmon dispersion relation of a quasi-three-dimensional electron gas confined in a wide AlxGa1-x As parabolic quantum well is investigated in the magnetic quantum limit. Magneto-plasma excitations polarized perpendicular to the magnetic field and with wave vector q of the order of the inverse magnetic length 1 l0 are measured in far infrared magneto-transmission experiments on 100 nm thick electron slabs. A minimum is found in the magneto-plasma mode frequency at ql0 ≈ 2 suggesting the existence of a magneto-roton excitation. The collective excitation spectrum is calculated in analogy with Feynman's theory for rotons in helium, and is found to be in good qualitative agreement with the measurement.

How to write parametrized query in phoenix using ecto
how to write parametrized query in phoenix using ecto?
What are you trying to achieve and what have you tried? There are plenty of resources on using Ecto with Phoenix. If you are trying to build dynamic filters, you can use the dynamic keyword. For example, something like:
 def get_users(filter_criteria) when is_map(filter_criteria) do
 # I haven't figured out how to start with an empty starting point,
 # so use a dummy initial filter
 criteria = dynamic([u], not is_nil(u.id))
 criteria = case filter_criteria["min_age"] do
 nil -> criteria
 age -> dynamic([u], u.age > ^age and ^criteria)
 end
 criteria = case filter_criteria["max_age"] do
 nil -> criteria
 age -> dynamic([u], u.age > ^age and ^criteria)
 end
 query = from u in Users,
 where: ^criteria
 Repo.all(query)
 end
There's a post here that explains it further: _URL_
Here's another similar discussion: Making queries in ecto with filters based on a map
Thanks mindok for the reply.
I want to write code which will prevent from sql injection attack.
You should be ok with this approach as Ecto handles all the proper escaping etc, but you should check the Ecto docs for yourself to verify.
If you use Ecto.Query then you should be safe, even with fragment it will use prepared statements and will prevent SQLi attacks.

Modulated parasystole originating in the sinoatrial node.
A computer model of "modulated sinus parasystole" was devised in which two sinus pacemakers interacted electrotonically, entraining each other's periodicity according to their beat-to-beat phasic relationships. Depending on the preestablished rules, the model gave rise to various rhythm patterns that were similar to those recorded in patients with sinoatrial arrhythmias. The validity of the model in predicting clinically observed rhythm disturbances was tested in a case of sinoatrial extrasystolic activity. The sinoatrial origin of parasystolic discharges giving rise to various patterns of group beating in this case was diagnosed according to the following electrocardiographic criteria: premature P waves having contour identical to P waves of basic beats, variable coupling intervals, and absence of compensatory pauses (i.e., returning cycles having duration similar to that of the basic P-P interval). For the analysis, it was assumed that two distinct but closely apposed sinoatrial pacemaker centers were competing for activation of the heart. The model accurately simulated the arrhythmias in the electrocardiographic trace. The best fit was found when the two pacemakers interacted on the basis of "resetting" in one direction and electronic modulation in the other. In fact, under appropriate conditions, the model matched precisely all frequency-dependent patterns of extrasystolic activity observed in the trace. We conclude that the modulated parasystole hypothesis can readily explain the mechanism of sinus extrasystolic discharges whose returning cycle equals the basic P-P interval. Moreover, the model predicts that, when the rules for mutual entrainment between "dominant" and parasystolic sinus pacemaker are appropriate, the returning cycle can be shorter than the basic cycle.

A file-rename tool inspired by Perl's File::Rename.
If you have zef, there are a number of options:
Additionally, since all there is here, really, is the executable bin/rrnm, you can just download that and use it.
The distribution only provides the rrnm binary. In general:
Some usage examples follow, all of which are to be run in a terminal where you have access to zef-installed binaries.
rrnm's/^a/b/' /a*
will rename every file / directory of the form /a to /b.
On the other hand,
rrnm -c='cp''s/^a/b/' /a*
will take every file of the form /a and copy it to /b. It will complain about not being able to copy directories among those (because the cp command behaves this way), but you can fix that with
rrnm -c='cp -r''s/^a/b/' /a*
You can even do the following in a git repo, to effect a regex-based git-mv:
rrnm -c='git mv''s/^(\d)/0$0/' [0-9]*
or equivalently, using lookahead assertions,
rrnm -c='git mv''s/^/0/' [0-9]*
That will perform a git mv on every file whose name starts with a digit, prepending a 0 (if you wanted to do this for some reason).
The --dry option just shows you the command that would be run. So in a git repo that contains files 1.txt and 2.txt (and nothing else starting with a digit),
would simply show you
git mv 1.txt./01.txt
git mv 2.txt./02.txt
in the terminal.
I use this all the time: first run what you think will work with --dry, then recall the last command and remove the --dry option.
