Let $(X, \|\cdot\|)$ be an Banach space. Assume that a sequence $f_n \rightarrow f$ weakly in $X$, and $\|f_n\| \rightarrow \|f\|$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$. It's known that if $X$ is a uniformly convex Banach space, then we have $f_n \rightarrow f$ strongly in $X$. Is this true for an reflexive Banach space?

I take it "strongly" means "in norm"? No, this can fail for reflexive Banach spaces.
For a counterexample, let $X$ be the $l^\infty$ direct sum of ${\bf R}$ and $l^2$. (I'm doing this for real Banach spaces, but the same counterexample works in the complex case too.) Thus a typical element of $X$ looks like $(a,f)$ where $a \in {\bf R}$ and $f \in l^2$, and its norm is ${\rm max}(|a|, \|f\|_2)$. Since $X$ is a direct sum of two reflexive spaces, it is reflexive. Now consider the sequence $(1, e_n)$ where $(e_n)$ is the standard basis of $l^2$. It's easy enough to check that this sequence converges weakly, but not in norm, to $(1,0)$.

Yes, it is, thanks for your nice example. – Wang Ming May 5 '12 at 12:14
Just to add to Nik answer, reflexivity is invariant to equivalent renormings (topologic property), while uniform convexity is not, it depends on the geometry of the norm (geometric property). The hypotheses that $||f_n||\to||f||$ is also a geometric property, and the conclusion that $f_n\to f$ is again topologic. This should give you the intuition, before any concrete counter-example, that the property shouldn't hold under the assumption of reflexivity, or any other topologic property for that matter. – Adi Tcaciuc May 9 '12 at 17:49

How to Live with Your Adult Child
2 of 7
Although your child is an adult, he is still living in your house, and therefore should be expected to respect boundaries. Establish house rules before your child returns home, and make sure to enforce them. On the other hand, your child is an adult, and his boundaries of privacy should also be respected.
House rules could be related to having house guests or parties, and your stance on smoking and drinking alcohol. Just remember, although your child should be expected to abide by the rules of your house, they should be age-appropriate. For example, setting a curfew for your child might not be realistic, but expecting him to call if he isn't coming home for the night is.

Determining soil nitrogen content in working forestscharles.dillon2
Trees need nitrogen to grow. If soil nitrogen levels are low, then growth is limited. The ability to accurately monitor the amount of soil nitrogen in a working forest is helpful for predicting future growth and for knowing when to take corrective action (fertilizer, altered management practices) when soil nitrogen levels decline.

Dynamically Generating Mock Definitions
In some situations, all of your REST calls are based upon a URL schema. Mockjax has the ability for you to specify a callback function that is handed the $.ajax request settings. The callback function may then either return false to allow the request to be handled natively, or return an object literal with relevant Mockjax parameters set. Below is an example that rewrites all Ajax requests to proxy to static mocks:
$.mockjax(function(settings) {
 // settings.url == '/restful/<service>'
 var service = settings.url.match(//restful/(.*)$/);
 if ( service ) {
 return {
 proxy: '/mocks/' + service[1] + '.json'
 };
 }
 return;
});
Dynamically Generating Mock Responses
It's also possible to dynamically generate the response text upon each request by implementing a callback function on the response parameter:
$.mockjax({
 url: '/restful/webservice',
 dataType: 'json',
 response: function(settings) {
 this.responseText = { say: 'random ' + Math.random() };
 }
});
Globally Defining Mockjax Settings
It's also possible to define the global defaults for all Mockjax requests by overwriting the $.mockjaxSettings object. By default the settings are as follows:
$.mockjaxSettings = {
 status: 200,
 responseTime: 500,
 isTimeout: false,
 contentType: 'text/plain',
 response: '',
 responseText: '',
 responseXML: '',
 proxy: '',
 lastModified: null,
 etag: ''
};
To overwrite a particular settings such as the default content-type, you would do the following:
$.mockjaxSettings.contentType = 'text/json';
Removing Mockjax Handlers
Remove all mockjax handlers:
$.mockjaxClear();
Remove Single Mockjax Handler
var id = $.mockjax({
 ...
});
$.mockjaxClear(id);
Conclusion
So there you have it, Mockjax unpacked! There are a number of additional posts in the pipeline surrounding this topic and how to apply and integrate it with your project. So stay tuned! In the meantime, the plugin code is readily available on github and feel free to report any issues you find in the plugin's github issue tracker. Enjoy!

 Awesomely useful. Especially like the ability to test lots of different scenarios, no response, bad response, etc without having to fake it server side. Will definitely be using this in my next project! Thanks for sharing.

 Hi Noel,
 Great suggestion! I'll see what I can do to add this.
 - Pomeh13
 What a nice post ! I love this kind of stuff, I'll use it for sure. The ability to intercept the AJAX calls and returns local objects is very useful when you want to test your application. But I have few questions. Is it possible to pass functions as properties to the $.mockjax method ?
 Instead of :
 $.mockjax({
 url: '/restful/api',
 responseTime: 750,
 responseText: 'A text response from the server',
 status: 200,
 isTimeout: false,
 contentType: 'text/plain',
 });
 could we do something like :
 $.mockjax({
 url: '/restful/api',
 responseTime: function() {
 if( somecondition )
 return 100;
 else
 return 750;
 },
 responseText: 'A text response from the server',
 status: function () {
 return [200, 404, 500][ Math.floor(Math.random()*3) ];
 },
 isTimeout: false,
 contentType: 'text/plain',
 });
 I don't know why we could return a random status, but if we have to, it would be nice to be abble to ! :)
 And second question, how can we have access to the request parameter ? Let's imagine you have a form tag, with a username and a password field. You bind an handler to the submit event of the form, this handler serialize your form and send it via AJAX and a POST call. This call use to return the username the user just type, or the string 'bad.login' for example. Then, in the mockjax object, can we configure the response method to return the username the user juste typed in ? If we have an argument to the response method which represents the current request it could be easy to return a pre-configured response, depending on each request. I'm not sure to explain it nice, my english is very terrible =(
 Anyway, I like the idea of this plugin, and I'm grateful that you have shared it with us (and sorry again for my english!)

 Hi,
 This is very interesting, thanks for your work.
 I'm planning to integrate this library with Choco : _URL_
 Are you planning to support HTTP verbs?
 For example, if I send a GET request to /posts I'm expecting an array of posts in response. But if I send a POST request to /posts, I'm expecting to receive a JSON representation of the newly created post. Is it possible to do that?
 Cheers!

 Hi Pomeh13,
 To answer your first question, it is possible to modify the responseTime. (Though it takes a bit of code. I'll post an update to github shortly that will make it much easier and will reply to this comment.) See the section "Dynamically Generating Mock Definitions".
 For your second question, the answer is yes :)
 $.mockjax({
 url: '/restful/webservice',
 dataType: 'json',
 response: function(settings) {
 this.responseText = { user: settings.data.username };
 }
 });
 $.ajax({
 data: {
 username: $('#someinput').val()
 }
 });

 Have you guys looked at JMVC's fixtures? It does the same thing by overwriting $.ajax so it takes an additional fixture param. This means your code still works if you drop the fixture script.
 - jdsharp
 Hi Justin,
 Thanks for your comment! I did come across the fixtures plugin back in June. While there are a few similarities between mockjax and fixtures, there's a fundamental difference in the approach that mockjax has taken. Mockjax is designed to overlay the production codebase, whereas fixtures is integrated within it. (Even though you can simply remove the fixtures plugin for production, you still have "fixtures:" attributes as part of the production code.) Mockjax takes an approach that provides for a Separation of Concerns which we feel is a core concern in enterprise development. Production code is never modified to introduce a mocking or test environment which is important from an integration standpoint. So while there are some surface level similarities, there's a fundamental difference in approach that the Mockjax plugin took.
 Cheers,
 – Jonathan

 Hi,
 Is there any way to check, what was the query string passed to the original AJAX? I would like to not only test the response, but also arguments passed to server.
 Best regards,
 ChrisRaven
 - wwwhack
 I'll second ChrisRaven's point. I'm using a plugin (DataTables) that requires an echo parameter be returned from the server with the same value. Access to the query string would be important for this sort of thing.

 Hi Chris,
 There is! Here's a gist that shows how: _URL_

Ethene production from tomato crop 10 April 2017
EMS measured together with Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops in ultra low concentrations, the ethene production from tomato plants. This test took place in the laboratory of EMS. Two types of tomato plants were used, 1 standard ethene producing tomato crop cultivar "Moneymaker" and 1 cultivar called "Epi", which are mutants, modified tomato crops that produces a lot more ethene.
The results show indeed differences in production rates which are expressed in nl/g/hr (nanoliter ethene per gram green parts per hour). The "Epi" modified tomato plants produces about 2.5 times more ethylene then the standard cultivar "Moneymaker". A repetition of this test with other plants, results in exactly the same results and production rates. This test showed that it is easy possible to measure with the MACView Postharvest Ethene Analyser in the ultra low concentration range of a few ppb ethene without interfering gases. The measurements were taken automatically and the setup was buildup in minuts.
Also Mr. D. Schwarz is enthousiastic about the setup and the results. We look forward for a close cooperation !

Java Question
Performance of += in java
Background
Recently I posted an answer recommending something like:
x = x + 2;
Someone commented "Please use
x += 2;
instead."
Having studied assembly language and compilers to some degree, I always assumed that these two statements would be reduced to the same assembly instructions. Therefore, I also thought that there would be no performance difference between the two, and that the only difference was a matter of opinion and style.
After recieving the above comment, I was curious, and did a quick google and SO search, which returned nothing.
My Question
Is there any performance difference between
x = x + 2;
and
x += 2
in java? Or is the only difference in readability and style, making the choice between the two a matter of opinion?
Please provide evidence, not opinion.
Answer
Below is what my compiler does.
Java code:
public static void x( int x)
{
 x = x + 2;
}
Byte code:
public static void x(int);
 Code:
 0: iinc 0, 2
 3: return
Java code:
public static void x( int x)
{
 x += 2;
}
Byte code:
public static void x(int);
 Code:
 0: iinc 0, 2
 3: return
As you can see, they compile to the same byte code. Java compiler heavily optimizes your code, so do not try to optimize it for trivial things, especially at the expense of readability.

 7. Use the gcloud run deploy run-function command to deploy the Cloud Run container:
 gcloud run deploy run-function
 --image gcr.io/PROJECT_ID/restricted-function-caller
 --no-allow-unauthenticated
 --update-env-vars=URL=https://SERVICE_REGION-PROJECT_ID.cloudfunctions.net/restricted-function-caller
 --vpc-egress=all
 --vpc-connector=serverless-connector
 --region=SERVICE_REGION
 where:
 - PROJECT_ID is the project ID.
 - SERVICE_REGION is a region for your connector; this must match the region of your serverless service. If your service is in the region us-central or europe-west, use us-central1 or europe-west1.
 The Cloud Run run-function service is now set to send a GET request via the VPC connector to the network-restricted function.
Routing function egress through your VPC network
VPC networks in Google Cloud support a rich set of configurations and networking features. By routing egress traffic from your function into your VPC network, you can ensure that Cloud Functions egress traffic follows your VPC network's firewall, DNS, routing, and other rules, and you can use products such as Cloud NAT.
 1. Set up a VPC network. Configure an existing VPC network or create a new one by following the guide at Using VPC networks.
 2. Set up a Serverless VPC Access connector. Cloud Functions need a Serverless VPC Access connector to route traffic into your VPC network. Create a connector and set up the appropriate permissions by following the instructions at Connecting to a VPC network.
 3. Deploy a function that uses the connector and route all egress through. the connector.** Use the Google Cloud console or the gcloud command-line tool:
 Console
 1. Open the Functions Overview page in the Google Cloud console:
 Go to the Cloud Functions Overview page
 2. Click Create function. Alternatively, click an existing function to go to its details page, and click Edit.
 3. Expand the advanced settings by clicking Environment variables, networking, timeouts and more.
 4. In the Connections section, under Egress settings, select your Serverless VPC Access connector and select Route all traffic through the VPC connector.
 gcloud
 Use the gcloud functions deploy command:
 gcloud functions deploy FUNCTION_NAME \
 --vpc-connector CONNECTOR_NAME \
 --egress-settings all \
 FLAGS...

After you deploy your function, all traffic originating from your function is routed through your VPC network and adheres to the rules set on your VPC network. Note that your function is unable to access the public internet unless you configure Cloud NAT. Further note that you need your Cloud NAT to map all primary and secondary IP ranges for all subnets to the NAT gateway, in order to include the connector's subnet in the mapping.
Associating function egress with a static IP address
In some cases, you might want traffic originating from your function to be associated with a static IP address. For example, this is useful if you are calling an external service that only allows requests from explicitly specified IP addresses.
 1. Route your function's egress through your VPC network. See the previous section, Routing function egress through your VPC network.
 2. Set up Cloud NAT and specify a static IP address. Follow the guides at Specify subnet ranges for NAT and Specify IP addresses for NAT to set up Cloud NAT for the subnet associated with your function's Serverless VPC Access connector. As stated above, you need your Cloud NAT to map all primary and secondary IP ranges for all subnets to the NAT gateway, in order to include the connector's subnet in the mapping.
Multi-region load balancing
You can deploy a function to different regions, and allow the request to be be sent to the closest healthy region. To achieve this, you need to set up a serverless network endpoint group (NEG) for the function and connect it to a load balancer, as described in Setting up an HTTP(S) load balancer with serverless NEGs.

NO! Actually, we can't stop you from doing it, but according to Law Services, there is no indication that a person's score on one test date is a better indicator of performance than a score on another test date. Therefore, unlike the SATs where most colleges just looked at your highest scores, your average score will be reported to the law schools if you take the LSAT two or three times. It's worth repeating--this is not a test you take once just to see how you would score. You need to be fully prepared for the first time and do your best.
If your score is considerably below where you expected it to be, it may be necessary to retake the test. Check with the catalogues of the various law schools you are considering. Some only accept the first score, but the vast majority of schools will consider the average of your test scores. Keep in mind, however, that schools that look at second test scores expect to see a very significant increase on the second exam. A drop in score would be seriously detrimental.
Ideally, you will prepare for the LSAT over a long enough period of time that you will not take too much time from your Clark course homework. It is important not to detract from your normal academic pursuits and your grade point average.

The Coosa Riverkeeper's Swim Guide reported a high alert for E. coli in Big Wills Creek on Friday, with moderate readings also being found in Little Canoe Creek and Big Canoe Creek. Big Wills was tested at 248.9 MPN per 100 milliliters. Big Canoe and LIttle Canoe Creeks were tested at 209.8 and 193.5, respectively.
Along with the E. coli reports, the Riverkeeper found several testing sites with low dissolved oxygen levels and high pH readings.
The worst dissolved oxygen readings came from Hatchet Creek Park and Wetumpka at 4.04 and 4.76 milligrams per liter, respectively.
According to the Riverkeeper's website, dissolved oxygen is vital to the wellbeing of fish in the river and can be the first indicator of a fish kill. Bass and bream living in the Coosa need oxygen readings above 5.0
Dissolved oxygen is a result of photosynthesis performed by aquatic plants and algae, as well as the atmosphere. Levels can drop at night and throughout the seasons, but also can be influenced by wastewater from sewage plants, which typically contains organic materials that require microorganisms who consume oxygen to break down.
This week's guide also reported high pH levels at or above 8.50 at Little Canoe Creek, Big Canoe Creek, Lake Gadsden, Rainbow Landing and Ten Islands Park.
The Riverkeeper staff samples water each Thursday throughout late spring and summer and updates their Swim Guide each Friday.
While the staff tests waters at sites all along the Coosa, they test locally at Big Canoe Creek, Canoe Creek Launch, Hokes Bluff Mill Pond, Gadsden Riverfront, Lake Gadsden, Rainbow Landing and Ten Islands Park.

Introduction: Posture Correction Shirt
MetaSkin is a technology that is based on the amount of Infrared light which is being reflected by stretchable cloth. With the technology used in MetaSkin we want to develop a way to improve the posture of people during sitting for example. When a person sits straight with the shoulders turned backwards and the breast to the front the cloth on the back of the person just underneath the shoulder blades won't be stretched. If the person sits crooked or slumped the cloth on the back of the person will be stretched. This difference should evoke a buzzer, sound or vibration to give feedback to the user about his or her posture.
Link to video-_URL_
Step 1: How Does It Work?
A Reflective sensor which contains a emitter and a receiver part is placed against the cloth. When the cloth is not stretched, a lot of IR light which is sent by the emitter is received again by the receiver. When the cloth is stretched there is less material in front of the sensor which means that less IR light will be reflected by the cloth and received by the receiver. In our product this difference will be used to give warnings to the user. This difference should evoke a buzzer, sound or vibration to give feedback to the user about his or her posture.
Step 2: Do You Crook or Slump While Working on Computer a Lot?
Did you know that experts estimate that as many as 80% of the population will experience a back problem at some time in our lives (American Chiropractic Association, 2015). Most of the people are aware of this but are not able to take action while working.
Step 3: What If You Have a Persuasive Trigger to Improve Your Posture?
Step 4: Materials Required
 1. Jumper wires
 2. Clothing
 3. Long wires
 4. LED
 5. IR sensor (emitter and receiver)
 6. Resistor (10k)
 7. Breadboard
 8. Arduino
 9. Glue
 10. Sensor mount
Step 5: Make the Connections
Step 6: Glue the Sensor on Clothing
Make sure the sensor is not glued and fabric is able to stretch under the sensor. Glue the sensor mount or the wires to the fabric
Step 7: Upload the Code to the Arduino Board
Please find attached the code in the pdf attached.
Step 8: Check and Adjust the 'posture' Threshold
Move your posture from straight to bending position and check the change of values of 'posture' in seek monitor (accessible from magnifying icon on top right corner of Arduino interface). Change the value in the code to the lowest average value you see when you are sitting in bending position.
Step 9: Future Possibilities
You can make it wireless and use flexible sensors to make it less clumsy.

 Hey.. I would like to knw tht what kind of arduino is used in this project.. Plus what kind of jumper wires nd sensor mount is used?.
 Yes, you can use a flex sensor may be. We just went for a cheaper alternative i.e. is the IR sensor (it costs you USD 1 and flex sensor is around USD 8).
 But agreed, it may be a better option!
 i may actually make this. i have a flex sensor and the mentioned wifi chip etc. i will let you know.
 :) just saw your last step - great concept.!!
 Seems like a mild electrical shock would be more effective than a buzzer. ?
 Hey! we used- Vishay TCRT1000, Through Hole Reflective Optical Sensor. The link for that sensor is here-_URL_
 Awesome concept, I'd like one of these shirts!
 Love this!

text: Self advocacy refers to people who speak up for themselves and their peers. It is about having the right to make life decisions without undue influence or control by others. People with disabilities are often rendered powerless. Those with intellectual disabilities are more likely to live in institutions or group homes where they have little control over the rhythm of their lives, are likely to feel lonely, be unemployed or underemployed, and have fewer opportunities to be married or have children. Self advocacy for people with psychiatric or medical disabilities is referred to as self-empowerment or patient empowerment and encourages people to take an active role in their own care and support, whether that is recovery oriented or making decisions at the end of one's life to choose palliative hospice care rather than continue efforts to cure. HSRI – over the more than 3 decades since its inception – has worked directly with people with disabilities to support their organizations, to provide information (through such vehicles as The Riot), to include them in the design of participant research, and to provide guides for their inclusion in policy making bodies.


Can Cats Eat Oysters? - Cat Kingpin
Can Cats Eat Oysters
Can Cats Eat Oysters?
My wife hates them, but I enjoy the occasional raw oyster. However, I have to admit that I don't know if it's actually the oysters I like, or if they are merely a vehicle for the lemon juice and cocktail sauce.
If you happen to be slurping down some oysters while your cat's around, you might be wondering if it would be okay to let them have a bite. As we will see, cooked oysters are okay as an occasional treat, but it's probably better not to give cats raw oysters.
In this article, we'll cover the following:
 - Cats and Oysters, What You Need to Know
 - Can Cats Eat Oysters?
 - Can Kittens Eat Oysters?
 - Benefits/Drawbacks to Cats Eating Oysters
 - Healthy Alternatives to Oysters for Cats
Cats and Oysters, What You Need to Know
Oysters are salt-water, hard-shelled creatures that are consumed as a delicacy by people around the world. Being a mollusk, oysters are part of a large group of invertebrate animals that includes snails, slugs, clams, octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish.
As you might imagine, cats in the wild would rarely come into contact with an oysters. However, as the following video shows, some cats do enjoy oysters given to them by their human companions:
Since cats are meat-eaters, it's not surprising to see one eating oysters. In fact, being obligate carnivores, meat is the only food cats really need to eat and they derive little to no nutrition from plants and vegetables.
But, are oysters a good source of meat for cats? Would they like them?
From a nutritional standpoint, oysters aren't a bad food. One hundred grams of raw oysters contains about 68 Calories, 7 grams of protein, and significant amounts of vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, zinc, copper, and selenium.
Can Cats Eat Oysters?
While cooked oysters are generally okay to give cats, raw oysters carry some risk of sickness from bacteria and parasites.
It's unlikely your cat would get sick from eating raw oysters, but why take chances with their health? Instead, just stick with providing them with the occasional cooked oysters as a treat.
Can Kittens Eat Oysters?
Because of their immature immune and digestive systems, kittens are susceptible to illness. Bacteria and parasites that could be in raw oysters are even more likely to make a kitten sick than an adult cat.
Make sure any oysters you feed your kitten are cooked first, and don't contain any additives like salt, spices, or horseradish. Even then, it should be given only as on occasional treat and in small quantities.
High-quality, grain-free kitten food has all the nutrients a growing kitten needs. So, it's best to stick with something like Wellness kitten food or else Taste of the Wild kitten food.
Benefits and Drawbacks to Cats Eating Oysters
As we have learned, cooked oysters can provide protein that is required in your cat's diet. However, raw oysters can be contaminated with a bacterium known as Vibrio, which has been identified as a source of human illness.
Vibrio usually only affects people with compromised immune systems. Most commonly associated with eating raw oysters, the bacteria normally causes gastrointestinal symptoms, but in serious cases has resulted in the loss of limbs and even death.
While cats are not known to be affected by Vibrio, it's best to be safe and only give your cat cooked oysters.
Additionally, oysters can contain high levels of the metal cadmium. Cats are particularly sensitive to some types of heavy metal poisoning, so it's best to limit the amount of oysters you give to your cat.
Perhaps most importantly, oysters are a known source of food allergy in humans and might also be for cats. Food allergies are the third most common type of feline allergy, surpassed by only flea bite allergies and sensitivity to inhaled substances.
In cats, food allergies usually manifest themselves as skin reactions. Symptoms of food allergies in cats can include:
 - Sneezing, snoring, coughing, and wheezing
 - Itchy skin, scratching, and chewing
 - Ear infections
 - Runny eyes
 - Vomiting
 - Diarrhea
 - Swollen paws
 - Possible farting
If you do decide to give your cat oysters, make sure you stay alert for any of the above symptoms.
Healthy Alternatives to Oysters
Adult cats are fine to have a little bit of cooked oysters from time to time. But, with all of the great options out there, why not try a seafood-themed cat food? There are also seafood cat treats that can satisfy your cat's craving for oysters.
There's no rush to feed oysters to your cat, however. They don't need it to survive, so any high-quality, meat-based cat food will be great for them, such as Wellness or Taste of the Wild cat foods.
So, can cats eat oysters?
Well, now we know that cats can eat oysters. We also learned you should never feed raw oysters to your cat or kitten because of the bacteria and parasites that might make your cat sick if present.
Most importantly, we saw that there are many safe and healthy seafood cat foods and treats that are great alternatives for your kitty.
If you have any questions or would like to share a story about your cat and oysters, please tell us in the comments below. We'd love to hear from you!

Water spouts can be scary and intimidating even to the most experienced of skippers. They are not as dangerous as their land- based counterparts; the tornado or twister, nevertheless, care should be taken when encountering one of these natural phenomena. According to the Oxford English Dictionary a water spout is a column of water formed by a whirlwind over the sea. Waterspouts can be divided into two categories: fair weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts.
Fair weather waterspouts are more likely to occur during late spring to early fall where the summer months offer the right atmospheric conditions of warm, moist and unstable air and a growing cloud aloft. As the name indicates, they typically occur during fair and relatively calm weather with little wind, in the mornings or late afternoons, and develop under the dark flat bottom of rising cumulus clouds. They are short lived and will form quickly, normally dissipating within 20 minutes. Fair weather waterspouts move very little if at all, they start from the surface of the water and move upwards; by the time they are visible they are near maturity.
Tornadic waterspouts are more dangerous and destructive in nature. They form over water or start life as a tornado over land and become waterspouts as they cross the coast. They form under convective storms cells when air rises and rotates around a vertical axis (mesocyclonic in action). They typically occur with afternoon or evening thunderstorms when the warm moist air provides an unstable environment. They can be accompanied by strong winds and large seas. Hail and lightening are common with these severe thunderstorms. These waterspouts develop downward and initially form as a funnel cloud or tuba at the base of the cloud when a column of swirling air starts to rotate, condensing ambient moisture into water droplets extending towards the sea. This revolving motion causes a swirling mass of spray to rise up from the sea. If it continues to develop, the funnel meets the swirling sea spray and forms the column of the spout. These waterspouts have huge potential to be dangerous.
Waterspout Facts
Waterspouts are more commonplace in tropical regions but they can develop anywhere and are also common in many parts of Europe. The average wind speed in a waterspout is approximately 50mph (80kph) but can be as high as 150mph (241kph) and they can travel at speeds of anywhere from one to 80mph (128kph). Contrary to popular belief it is not sea water 'sucked up' that appears to make up the spout but what studies have found to be a swirling mass of condensed water vapor. The diameter of a funnel can range from a few yards to 110 yards (100m). The myth that firing canons or other projectiles into a waterspouts path will break them up has never been substantiated.
Waterspout Safety
Regardless of whether the waterspout is fair weather or tornadic in origin, all sea going vessels should take caution. Never navigate through a waterspout or move closer to it for investigation. To avoid a waterspout, try traveling at right angles to its apparent direction of movement. Darks spots on the water, followed by rings or a sudden shift in wind can be warning signs of a developing waterspout. If a waterspout is in close proximity and you are unable to avoid it, take down any sail, close any hatches and if possible stay below deck. During the summer months, in light winds, look for the telltale signs in the line of flat bottom cumulus clouds or thunderstorms, or in the lines of thunderstorms that can develop any time of year. Although waterspouts are not as destructive as their land based cousins their ability to carry anything in their path makes them dangerous to vessels and small craft. Not only can waterspouts cause havoc to mariners, they can devastate coral reefs and marine organisms that are close to the waters surface.

You are here: Home > Koi Health & Wellness Center > Fish anatomy
Anatomy of Fish
In common with most fishes, Koi are broader at the front than at the tail end. Such a shape streamlines the Koi and minimizes turbulence as it moved through the water. If a cone is placed with the pointed end turned into a current of water, the water swirls at the rear flattened surface, creating turbulence, or drag. If the cone is reversed, so that the flat surface meets the current, the flow of water around it is less turbulent and actually assists its passage through the water. The movement of Koi through the water is similar to that outlined for the second cone.
The External Anatomy
The external anatomy of Koi includes the scales, skin, fins, operculum (gill cover), vent, eyes, nostrils, barbels and lateral line.
Skin & Scales
A koi's skin is covered by a layer of mucus, which not only offers protection against disease but also helps streamline the fish to aid locomotion. This layer of mucus is continually being refreshed as the old mucus sloughs off into the water. Below the mucus lies the top layer of skin know as the epidermis. This is extremely thin and in fact lies above the scales. The epidermis is responsible for mucus production and assists wound repair by multiplying to cover areas of damage.
Under the epidermis is the dermis and this is where the scales are formed. The scales form a lightweight, pliable suit of armor over the surface of the fish. Scales make up a calcified flexible plate; they contain high levels of calcium and offer an extra line of defense. In times of nutrient depletion this calcium can also be used as an extra nutrient source. The front end of the scale is inserted into a deep pocket of skin, the back is quite free and overlaps the front of the scale behind, just as roof tiles overlap.
There are two distinct types of scale pattern found on Koi: completely scaled, and the so-called doitsu, in which the scales are enlarged and arranged along the midline of each side of the body and, usually at the dorsal and anal fin bases. The scales of doitsu are entirely embedded in the skin.
On some koi, the dermis grows from beneath the scale and is seen as 'fukurin.' Varieties such as ogon and asagi typically display fukurin especially on the shoulder area. It appears around the external edges of the scales.
The dermis also contains chromatophores, which are responsible for coloration, as well as nerves, blood vessels and sense organs.
The Immune System
The immune system comprises many elements, the first line of defense being the scales and the mucus which covers them. This has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and is continually renewing itself. Next to the scales lie the dermis and epidermis which constitute the second layer of the fish's external barrier. Many infections take hold by entering through lesions in the skin. The digestive tract also serves as part of the immune system creating an environment that is unfriendly to pathogens.
If these defenses are breached and an infection enters the bloodstream, the next line of defense are the white blood cells which ingest the foreign bodies and carry them to the kidney and spleen. The spleen is responsible for the production of cells that are vital to the fish's immune system, and it also acts as a store for immature red blood cells. In the kidney and spleen antibodies are formed that fight the infection. If the fish has experienced the alien pathogen before, the fish's immune system will react quicker than if it has to combat a new intruder.
The speed of reaction also depends upon the water temperature; lower temperatures lengthen the response time of the immune system, while levels of pathogen activity may still be high. This is why pond heating is so beneficial to their healthcare.
Koi have five sets of fins: the dorsal, anal and caudal (or tail) fins, which are single, and the pectoral and pelvic fins, which are paired. Fish swim using the body muscle, and the fins play an important role in maintaining stability in the water. When erected, the dorsal and anal fins prevent rolling and yawing, and the pectoral and caudal fins control pitching. The pectoral and pelvic fins also control fine movement by counteracting the propulsive forward motion caused by the exhalation of water from the gill covers, thus enabling the Koi to remain motionless.
Operculum (gill cover)
This is a large bony plate that protects the delicate gills. It is free at the rear and lower edges and acts as a one-way valve, allowing water to leave the gill chamber but preventing any backflow of respired, oxygen-deficient water to re-enter the gills. It articulates with the skull and the large hyomandibular bone. (In fishes, this bone forms part of the suspension for the lower jaw.)
Just in front of the anal fin is a large pore, usually termed the vent. The gut and the ducts from either the testes or ovaries terminate at this point. This is not a cloaca, which is a term used to describe a common opening for the digestive urinary and genital systems. Just in front of the vent there is a smaller opening which receives the urinary ducts form the kidneys.
Koi, like many other fish species, have excellent eyesight. Many experts think that they actually see things in a very similar way to humans, and are able to make out shapes and colors.
The position of the eyes on the head gives them almost total 360⁰ vision, enabling them to see above and behind, as well as in front and below themselves. The ability to see above and behind is particularly important because it enables Koi to watch for the approach of enemies while they are feeding.
On either side of the snout are a pair of nostrils, four in all. In cross section, the nostrils are seen to be joined by a U-shaped tube. The water flows in through the front nostril and out through the rear one. The floor of the tube is folded into a series of ridges, which are then arranged in the form of a rosette. The ridges are coated in a skin that is peppered with olfactory, or smelling, cells. These cells are able to detect extremely small quantities of dissolved substances in the water, even from quite distant objects. In fact, the sense of smell is more important to the Koi than eyesight for finding food.
Koi have one pair of barbels on each side of the mouth, a small barbel on the side of the upper lip and a larger one more or less at the corner of the mouth. These fleshy structures are moved by muscles that once operated parts of the jaw and palate and are covered with taste buds that literally allow Koi to taste anything the barbels contact. Like their ancestors, the wild carp, Koi are bottom feeders, using their barbels to locate grubs, insects, crustaceans, worms and water plants in the substrate. (Koi keepers generally feed Koi with floating pellets and sticks, but this is simply to enjoy seeing their spectacular livery as they surface to feed). Thus, Koi use their sense of smell to locate an area where food is to be found, and then detect the individual particles of food using the very sensitive taste buds on their barbels.
Lateral Line Organ
Along the middle of each side of the body there is a row of scales, each pierced by a small pore that connects by way of a small tube to a canal that lies in the skin beneath the scales. This system of canals and tubes forms part of the lateral line organ. On the head, the lateral line organ runs beneath the eye to the snout, its passage being marked by conspicuous pits. The lateral line is a sensory organ used to detect vibrations in the water.
In some doitsu Koi, the lateral line may be seen as a conspicuous line that runs along the middle of the fish, from just behind the operculum to the tail.
Hair cells transmit any vibration via nerve fibers to the spinal cord which sends a signal to the brain. Although the sensory cells of the lateral line are similar to those found in our internal ear, it is difficult to interpret precisely the sensation these cells impart to the fish. It seems that they are sensitive to water movement, waves and disturbances in the water, enabling Koi to avoid other fish, objects and the pond walls.
The Internal Anatomy
The internal anatomy is more complex than the external anatomy, not only because of the number of different organs involved, but also the way these various organs interact.
One of the most important features of the internal anatomy, but one which receives the least consideration, is the skeleton. Koi are members of a group of fish known as teleosts, literally meaning 'bony skeleton'. The skeleton has several major functions: it forms a protective and supporting framework for the internal organs and tissues, and enables the fish to move by providing a series of flexible joints and attachment points for muscles.
Parts of the first four vertebrae of the backbone are modified to form the Weberian ossicles, a system of tiny bones that link the swimbladder to the inner ear. Sounds traveling through the water cause the swimbladder to vibrate and he ossicles amplify these vibrations and transmit them to the sensitive hair cells within the liquid-filled semicircular canals of the inner ear. With such and apparatus, Koi can undoubtedly 'hear'.
Koi, like all other

Utilizing measurements on a lanthano-aluminosilicate core optical fiber, the specific effects of lanthana (La2O3) on the Brillouin characteristics of silica-based oxide glass optical fibers are described. Lanthana is an interesting species to investigate since it possesses a wide transparency window covering the common fiber laser and telecom system wavelengths. As might be expected, it is found that the properties of lanthana are very similar to those of ytterbia (Yb2O3), namely, low acoustic velocity, wide Brillouin spectral width, and a negative photoelastic constant, with the latter two properties affording significant reductions to the Brillouin gain coefficient. However, lanthana possesses thermo-acoustic and strain-acoustic coefficients (acoustic velocity versus temperature or strain, TAC and SAC, respectively) with signs that are opposed to those of ytterbia. The lanthanoaluminosilicate (SAL) fiber utilized in this study is Brillouin-athermal (no dependence of the Brillouin frequency on temperature), but not atensic (is dependent upon the strain), which is believed to be, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of such a glass fiber utilizing a compositional engineering approach.

According to a new report from the Oregon Health Authority, some manufacturing and construction jobs still have an increased risk for high blood-lead levels – especially jobs involving battery manufacturing, painting, and wall covering.
The report, Adult Blood Lead Reporting in Oregon, 2006-2010, summarizes the results of 33,400 adult blood-lead tests from Oregon's Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance program (ABLES).
Adult exposure to lead typically occurs when dust and fumes are inhaled or the dust ends up on hands, food, or cigarettes, for example, then swallowed.
Work-related exposures accounted for the majority of elevated blood-lead levels reported, especially at levels of 25 micrograms/deciliter or higher. According the report, there were 548 work-related cases involving workers who had elevated blood-lead levels. ABLES defines an elevated blood level as "greater than or equal to 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood." The majority of cases were in the storage battery manufacturing category (42.4 percent). Painting and wall covering contractors had the next highest percentage (8.0 percent), followed by iron and steel mills (7.3 percent). There were 33,400 tests for blood lead in Oregon from 2006 to 2010.
Often, individuals with elevated blood lead levels do not appear sick. However, recent evidence suggests that lead exposure at levels previously believed to be of little concern can result in chronic health effects if the exposure continues for many years.
The Oregon ABLES program also provides Oregon OSHA with information on firms whose employees have tested blood lead levels that are 25 micrograms per deciliter or higher. This allows Oregon OSHA to target workplaces where workers are at the highest risk for lead exposure.

Adding the Parameter Trigger to a SiteSpect component allows you to use parameters in the URL to match on:
- Parameter Name – Enter the name of the Parameter variable you want to match.
- Parameter Value – Enter the value of the Parameter variable you want to match.
Using Parameters is a standard way to generate dynamic content on web pages and web applications. Parameter names and values (variables) are part of the URL or are sent in the request when an HTML form is submitted. For example, consider the following URL: (e.g., /details.asp?id=5783). In this example, id=5783 are the Parameter Name and Value.
The variables submitted by an HTML form are the input, textarea, button, and other HTML form components in the form source. SiteSpect can use these details to help you define whether a page or page component from your website matches.
To match the Parameter Name and Value, you must complete both the Parameter Name and Parameter Value fields. In addition, both fields must match in order for the Trigger to be met. You probably also want to add a URL Trigger as well (even though SiteSpect doesn't require it), so that you don't ask SiteSpect to check every URL for the specified Parameter Name.
For example, to match the product detail pages for a list of SKUs (2435, 4665, and 5783), use the following:
The following image shows the above example that uses both a URL and a Parameter Trigger. Notice the word AND between them on the page. This means that both conditions must be true in order for this set of Triggers to match.
To match when a Parameter is optional, prefix the Parameter Name with a question-mark (?); the match succeeds if either the variable is not in the request at all or it is in the request and the Parameter Value also matches.
To match when the cart page (/cart.asp) is viewed but not when it is updated use the following:
In addition to the Regex option shown in the figure above, Parameter Triggers allow the following matching options:
- Does not contain
- Starts with
- Does not start with
- Ends with
- Does not end with
- Does not match exactly
- Does not match regex

Xcor Aerospace has named three more payload integrators as the suborbital vehicle maker prepares to enter flight tests later this year.
Spain's EMXYS, the Planetary Science Institute and the Space Engineering Research Center of Texas A&M University will each help the research community use the Lynx spacecraft to conduct experiments and gather data.
Xcor is in the process of assembling the first Lynx spacecraft.
The Lynx is designed to support the suborbital tourists and researchers, a market the Mojave, California-based company expects to generate up to $6 billion in annual revenue.
Xcor has named a total of 10 payload integrators and promised that more will be added.
Each payload integrator are tasked with working with end users to explain the Lynx's unique requirements, including packaging and power systems. The integrators will also sometimes fabricate the end users experimental and data-gathering equipment, which allows Xcor to focus on designing and assembling the vehicle itself.
Xcor unveiled the three latest integrators at the next generation suborbital researchers conference in Palo Alto, California.
Previously, Xcor had named several other partners, including Southwest Research Institute of San Antonio and Boulder, NanoRacks of Washington DC, Spaceflight Services of Tukwila, Washington, Space Expedition Curacao, Yecheon Astro Space Center of South Korea, Cosmica of France, and African Space Institute in South Africa.

GLAMi nomination: PAMM AR
nominated by: Brendan Ciecko, Cuseum, USA
institution: Pérez Art Museum Miami
category: Groundbreaking
In December 2017, Pérez Art Museum Miami launched the first fully augmented reality-powered art exhibition. The exhibition was also the first public use of Apple's new ARKit technology in the museum sector, as well as potentially the first "agile" museum exhibition where feedback on initial works of art was used to influence future works that were introduced throughout the duration of the exhibition.
Influenced by geophilosophy—a field of thought shaped by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari that analyzes the relationship between physical and mental territories—Grodin draws on her training as an architect to explore the mutable within landscape, architecture, and her urban surroundings. Felice Grodin: Invasive Species interacts with PAMM's architecture, evolving and transforming the museum's environment for the duration of the exhibition.
The show launches with two AR site-specific works—Mezzbug and Terrafish (both 2017)—that engage with and virtually enhance the museum's building. In Terrafish, Grodin overlaps PAMM's hanging gardens on the waterfront terrace with the translucent body of a digital species she created, which is suggestive of non-native jellyfish found in South Florida waters. By drawing on the destructive impact of invasive species and creating a new digital environment, Grodin highlights the transformative and unstable state of our ecosystem, speculating about a not-so-distant future affected by climate change and overtaken by uncanny creatures.

|LIBS; Ablation craters; Fluorine detection
|The depth-resolved analysis by means of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a useful tool in the investigation of multi-layered structures of paintings. The LIBS technique is considered micro-destructive, as it is associated with the formation of the ablation crater. It is important to optimize the laser pulse parameters to minimize the crater size and also to avoid some possible side effects of the laser radiation, such as the material redeposition and the light- or heat-induced pigment discoloration. In the present work, mock-up painting samples were used to investigate the influence of laser radiation characteristics on the ablation process. The first LIBS set-up contains a Nd:YAG laser at the second harmonic frequency (laser wavelength 532 nm, pulse duration ~ 10 ns) and the second set-up is comprised of a modified laser-ablation system equipped with a Nd:YAG laser at the fourth harmonic frequency (laser wavelength 266 nm, pulse duration ~ 5 ns). The influence of different laser wavelengths and different laser energies on the properties of the craters was examined. The effects caused by the laser-ablation process were described.

Somalia Flood Advisory For Juba And Shabelle Rivers - Issued 02 November 2023
Juba River Catchment Over the past three days, there has been a notable increase in both the amount and intensity of rainfall in the Gedo region and the Ethiopian highlands. The current water levels along the Juba River are now only 8 cm below bankful level at Dollow, 14 cm at Luuq, and under 40 cm at Bardheere. The ongoing heavy rainfall, coupled with the forecasted moderate rains in the next 24 hours, with an accumulation of approximately 150 mm over the next three days across Gedo, are expected to cause the river level to reach bankful height. This presents a high risk of riverine flooding along the entire stretch of the Juba River. Additionally, there is a high risk of flash flooding in the Gedo region, particularly in the Garbahaarey district within the next 24 hours. Residents in Deeday, Buulo Oomin, Tuutees, and Dhayba should take all necessary precautions to ensure their safety. Necessary anticipatory action should be taken. Shabelle River Catchment There has been a slight increase in water levels along the Shabelle River. The water levels are currently just 8.0 cm, 50.0 cm and 70.0 cm below the moderate flood risk levels at Beletweyne, Bulo Burte and Jowhar, respectively. The runoff from forecast moderate rains within the catchment over the next three days in HirShabelle, is likely to lead to a gradual rise in water levels with moderate risk of flooding along the Shabelle River. There are also reports of high flood wave approaching the Somali-Ethiopia border which is projected to lead to a significant river level rise in 3 to 4 days. Flash Floods Within the next 24 hours, heavy rains are anticipated over most areas of Bakool and Bay regions. As a result, there is a high risk of flash flooding in low-lying and vulnerable areas, particularly in Buur Hakabar, Diinsoor, Qansax Dheere, and Baydhaba districts in Bay, as well as Waajid and Ceel Barde districts in Bakool. Most parts of Middle Juba, including areas around Jilib, are expected to receive rainfall exceeding 100 mm, with coastal areas of Jilib experiencing particularly high amounts of over 200 mm, posing a significant risk of flash floods especially around Jiirta and Kuunyo-Burrow. Similarly, areas along the border of Hobyo and Jariiban districts in Mudug are likely to receive rainfall exceeding 200 mm, potentially leading to flash floods over Xingaras, Dhinooda, Ceel Dhahanaan, and Ceel Bacduur. Residents around the mentioned areas should take precautionary measures to ensure their safety.

text: According to psychological theories of environmental affect, the physical environment moderates the walking experience and its psychological wellbeing benefits. The present paper further demonstrates that affective experiences also influence intentions to walk. A study to explore the influence of affective experiences of walking on walking intentions is reported. A sample of adults working or studying in Bristol, UK (n = 384) participated in an experiment involving virtual exposure to one of five environments, with evaluations of their affective experience and of intentions to walk in the setting. A subsample (n = 14) then took part in photo-elicited semi-structured interviews. Multiple regression analyses showed that affective experiences of walking influenced walking intentions. Interview analyses highlighted the role of traffic, city busyness, and poor aesthetics. This is the first empirical study that examines the walking experience and related walking intentions from the pedestrian perspective employing theories of environmental affect. The findings indicate that safety, comfort, and moderate sensory stimulation are crucial elements for the walking experience. Following this, a strategy to promote active mobility in the built environment can be constructed around safety, comfort, and moderate sensory stimulation by targeting the micro elements that prevent them.

AI and Cloud-Enabled Flight Simulation
Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) seeks to address many problems facing aviation today: a shortage of qualified pilots, the changing role of the pilot in the face of increasing automation, and the increasing costs of training.
An evolution of evidence-based training (EBT), CBTA shifts the focus onto core
competencies instead of task proficiency or training hours. In theory, more pilots could be trained in less time while improving safety.
Problems remain: How to measure competency without increasing instructor
workload? How to maximize instructor visibility of pilot behavior, especially details that are easily missed? How to eliminate bias and subjectivity in assessment? How to standardize training delivery?
We propose that applications of artificial intelligence in pilot training could help address these problems. One approach is to turn simulators into cloud-enabled smart devices and collect relevant pilot performance data. Cloud platforms can provide security, scalability, and reliability while storing the vast quantities of simulator telemetry.
Working together with pilots and instructors, machine learning models can be trained to recognize the patterns of competency embedded within the data stream. These training analytics are then made available via intelligent dashboards.
Our vision is to see operators provided with a complete CBTA training "ecosystem" that is fully integrated into the Instructor Operating Station (IOS). The IOS will facilitate easy recording of observations as well as visualizing the training needs. This can be achieved using 3rd-party assessment applications such as those of Paladin AI.
These same training needs will also be visualized in a scenario manager, where preconfigured scenarios with different variations could then be loaded into the IOS, offering both standardization and resilience training.
We present a pragmatic approach to AI-powered training that produces data in support of EBT and facilitates CBTA implementation, while also safeguarding pilot data privacy.

You could use Powershell, there are multiple options depending on what you want to do:
To log the CPU % of a specific process:
PS C:\Users\mmoor> $A=Get-Process
PS C:\Users\mmoor> $A[0].Name
PS C:\Users\mmoor> $A[0].CPU
PS C:\Users\mmoor> "$($A[0].Name) --- $($A[0].CPU)" >>.\ProcessCPU.Log
You could also just send the output of Get-Process to a file:

Question: What Is Veal Parmesan Made Of?
What cut of meat is veal parmesan?
Veal is known for its tender texture and delicate flavor, and can be purchased in many of the same beef cuts you're probably already familiar with–roasts, chops, ribs, ground and cutlets. For Veal Parmesan, we'll be using veal cutlets or veal scallopini.
What is a veal cutlet?
Veal cutlets are thin, boneless portions of meat taken from the leg of the animal. Treat veal cutlets how you would any other thin, breaded cutlet (like chicken breast or pork). Season well and use a three-step breading process (flour, egg, then breadcrumbs).
Why is it called veal parmesan?
Firstly the dish is Chicken, Veal, etc Parmigiano, not parmesan. It simply means that the dish originated in the region in and around Parma, Italy. It does not have anything to do with the type of cheese.
How many calories are in veal parmesan?
Veal Parmesan (1 serving) contains 139g of carbs, 102g of protein, 84g of fat, and 1750 calories.
Is veal healthy to eat?
It's healthier, too; it has less fat and cholesterol than beef, and is an even better source of nutrients like protein, riboflavin and B6. Pasture-raised veal has much of the flavor of beef but is leaner and moister. Chefs in particular are enthusiastic about using it.

What animal is veal?
Veal is the meat from calves, mostly pure-bred male dairy calves. In many countries, including the UK, veal production is closely linked to the dairy industry; male dairy calves cannot produce milk and are often considered unsuitable for beef production.
How are calves killed for veal?
Calves raised to make veal are severely confined. Veal calves live the entirety of their short lives in " veal crates," wooden crates that severely restrict the calves ' movement. These crates are typically only 2.5 feet wide at most and have slatted wooden floors.
Is veal really a baby cow?
What is veal? It is the meat of a baby cow, a calf that has been starved to death so that the meat is pale pink, almost white. The veal calf industry is among the worst of all the kinds of intensive animal agriculture.
What is the most tender cut of veal?
The Veal Tenderloin is one of the most tender cuts on the animal. It is lean and therefore needs to be cooked quickly at a high temperature to maintain moisture. Whole tenderloins can be roasted or grilled and barbequed. Veal Tenderloin portions are cut from a Denuded Tenderloin.
Does veal taste different than beef?
But how does the meat taste different? Well, veal is slightly more tender than beef, due to the muscles not being worked for as long as the muscles of beef and it has a much more delicate flavour. Veal is actually easier for our bodies to digest than beef is because of how much more tender the meat is.

text: We present a detailed experimental study of the pressure and density of N-2-Ar mixtures at 0 degrees C, 25.0 degrees C and 50.0 degrees C with four different mixtures at each temperature. The pressures are measured with a dead-weight tester. The densities are determined from knowledge of the precise volume and weight measurement of the mixtures. Statistical analysis of the experimental data yielded very precise values for the second and third density virial coefficients. Finally experimentally determined virial coefficients are compared with those calculated on the basis of statistical mechanics. The maximum percentage deviation between experimental and theoretical second virial coefficients is about 10% and that between third virial coefficients is less than 1%.

The parameter 'pos' in ShapeStim statement stands for the position of the center of the stimulus. Is it possible to set the positition of the stimulus by the top left of it instead of its center? In Pygame, for example, shapes can be draw from top left through statement"pygame.draw.rect(window, color, (topleft_X, topleft_Y, width, height))".
The choice of drawing origin is an arbitrary one (eg bottom left is as natural as anything else), so selecting another is left up to the user, by applying simple geometry.
In this case, just add half the width of the object to your preferred x component of the position, and subtract half its height from the y component.

OCR-based automation for fast and efficient gates
The Orbita GateCCR system enables users to automatically identify ISO containers as they are transported by truck through a controlled access point. The system also includes a truck license plate reader, capture of still images and videos for damage control and optional identification of hazardous goods label with the Orbita GateIMDG add-on module.
Thanks to the use of the latest technology in IP cameras, megapixel sensors and sophisticated processing by means of neural networks and other vision technologies, GateCCR delivers a high degree of accuracy and reliability in ISO code verification and damage imaging.
The OCR software is designed to integrate with TOS and other terminal control systems. ISO code readings, images and other data can be transmitted in real time from each gate access log through the most widely-used communications protocols, including SQL and WebServices. Orbita's XML interface facilitates even greater integration.
Offered as an option to complement GateCCR, the GateIMDG module identifies dangerous goods labels and placards mounted on the container. GateIMDG is able to detect and identify containers with multiple labels and provide the IMDG class and sub-class to which each label belongs. While dangerous goods signs are usually placed on the rear, GateIMDG can also detect labels on both sides of the container.

The Global Legacy of the Great Famine in Ireland
Healing the Wounds of An Gorta Mór & Exploring What it Means to be Irish
Online | English
What will we be exploring in this Lab?
Our lab will explore the legacy of the Great Famine (1845-52), in which more than 1 million Irish died. More than 1 million emigrated during this time, and there were successive waves of emigration that created an Irish diaspora that today numbers more than 44 million. The lab is not so much about the history but about people's experience of that history. What did the Irish have to do to survive the Famine? How does the Famine echo into our lives in the present? How is legacy of the famine different for those who left and those who remained?
Who is invited to participate?
The lab is intended for people of Irish descent, whether in Ireland or in the Irish diaspora. Some understanding of trauma is necessary, as is the willingness to look deeply into our individual lives and our ancestry. But most important is the desire to uncover and heal what our Irish ancestors couldn't heal in their own time.
More about the journey of the Lab
The lab will follow Thomas Hübl's Collective Trauma Integration Process (CTIP). We will create a safe container for exploring how the Famine trauma response still lives in us and how it affects our very being. Painful moments will certainly arise in this work but the process will be guided with compassion, care, and respect. And with a deeper understanding of the legacy of the Famine, we can begin individually and collectively to form a new sense of Irishness.
When will we be meeting?
The lab will meet on the Zoom platform. The first meeting will be on Tuesday, Jan. 23. Thereafter, the meetings will be on the second Tuesday of the month: Feb. 13, Mar. 12, Apr. 9, May 14, June 11, July 9, Aug. 13, Sept. 10, Oct. 8, Nov. 12, and Dec. 10. All meetings are for two hours, starting at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern/7pm Ireland.

I thought about the following problem, probably it already appears in mathematical literature.
Definition 1:
Operator $\unrhd$, is binary operation, defined for natural numbers as follows: To every $n,m$ naturals, $n\unrhd m$ is first comes $n$ and then comes $m$.
Example: if $n=56$, $m=67$, then $n\unrhd m = 5667$
Definition 2:
Primes $p_k$ and $p_s$ will called brothers, if $p_k \unrhd p_s$ or $p_s \unrhd p_k$ are primes.
Example: $p_1=2$ and $p_2=3$ are brothers, as $2 \unrhd 3=23$ is prime.
Prove that there is infinite brothers numbers.
share|improve this question
I suspect this is beyond reach. If we could prove there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $10p+3$ is prime, we'd have it, but this is beyond what's currently known. – Gerry Myerson Feb 15 '13 at 2:18
The first thing I thought was to attack this problem (mow an open one) by contradiction: suppose that there are finite brothers numbers. Let $A$ be such set. Now, there is a maximal length of brothers number in $A$, suppose that $\text{length $\{p_i \unrhd p_j\}$}=k$. Now - a problem. Sorry, if it sounds stupid. :) – Salech Alhasov Feb 15 '13 at 2:53
_USER_ I agree this seems just out of reach, but we can prove that for infinitely many prime pairs $(p,q)$, the numbers $10p+q$, $100p+q$, $1000p+q$, $10000p+q$ are simultaneously prime. The catch, of course, is that we don't know how to prove this for bounded $q$! – Erick Wong Feb 15 '13 at 4:32

Just to slightly elaborate on Gerry's answer given in the comment, notice that your question relies heavily on the way numbers are presented (in particular you seem to assume numbers are written in decimal notation and your binary operation is not on numbers but rather on numbers expressed in binary form). In stark contrast is the property Gerry mentions is beyond current reach does not depend on any particular notation for expressing numbers. In this case the former subsumes the latter. It is important to realize when a conjecture, or any statement, about numbers relies on the way numbers are written. It is somewhat unnatural to wonder about properties of numbers that are dependent on the way numbers are written, since then it is not so much a property of numbers but rather a combination of a number theoretic property and a typographical property. But aside from sporadic results here and there, who cares about the particularities of how numbers are written? For computations it could be relevant but not really for deep number theoretic results. So not only is your question probably not in the mainstream literature, it is also not likely to get there.
share|improve this answer
It would be most interesting to find a pair of primes that are brothers in one base but not in another. Among $2$, $3$, $5$, and $7$, I think the brothers in base ten are also brothers in binary, although not always in the same order. – Todd Wilcox Feb 15 '13 at 4:00
Well, not all questions dependent on a particular base lie outside of the mainstream. There is the recent breakthrough of Mauduit and Rivat on the distribution of the sums of digits of primes (answering a question posed by no less than Gelfond). So most of the time these seem like useless questions, but once in a while the number theoretic machinery becomes powerful enough to overcome their apparent arbitrariness, and it's truly a sight to behold. – Erick Wong Feb 15 '13 at 4:12

Voice Technology Effective in Monitoring Diabetes Safety Events
A new study funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) found that providing interactive voice recognition follow-up calls to diabetes patients is effective in identifying safety triggers. "Safety Events during an Automated Telephone Self-Management Support Intervention" appeared in the May issue of the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology. The "safety triggers" the study examined were problems such as extremely high or low blood sugar, not having medications or supplies, or experiencing significant side effects. Using an automated voice system, patients with type II diabetes received self-management support through interactive messaging. The automated system was effective in identifying safety triggers and the majority of eligible participants received at least one phone call. The results indicate that interactive health information technology can support self-management tasks for diabetes, but more research is needed to understand program design elements to address safety concerns.

AP X-Ray Story Inaccurate, Misleading
"Report: X-Rays Don't Detect Explosives" is the red letter entry at the Drudge Report, linking the latest Associated Press scoop from a leaked document:
X-ray machines that screen airline passengers' shoes cannot detect explosives, according to a Homeland Security Department report on aviation screening.
The headline is inaccurate. The Rapiscan x-ray machines deployed at most US airports can, in fact, allow screeners to find explosives. Screeners are trained to use x-ray machines to detect the components of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs): timing devices, detonators, switches, and the main charge - the explosive.
I haven't seen the report, which is most likely classified and should earn the leaker a trip to Leavenworth, but from what AP has written, it most likely was pointing out that the small amount of explosive in a shoe bomb would be difficult to detect. True. That's what Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) equipment is for. But what's a good indicator to determine which shoes might deserve to be tested by the ETD? Anomalies in the x-ray image of the shoe.
Journalists are usually generalists. They should check with experts before publishing inflammatory stories about technical subjects.
