Sending Polls
During IBM® Lotus® Sametime® meetings, the chair can use polls to gather feedback from meeting participants. The chair can send a question to the meeting participants and view participants' responses. For example, the chair might ask participants to vote on which job applicant to hire. As participants respond, the chair sees which candidate the participants prefer.
Note Only the chair create a new poll question and send polls. You cannot create poll questions before joining the meeting. However, you can create them and then click the Send later button to send them at a later time.
When sending a poll, the chair can also:
 - Share the tallied responses with other participants. Normally, the chair is the only person who sees the poll responses. The chair can choose to share the tallied poll responses so that all participants see the responses in the Poll Tab. To do this, click Share Responses on the Polling tab.
 - Note When the chair shares the responses, participants see only the tallied responses. Participants do not see individual answers to the poll.
 - Allow anonymous responses. By default, the chair can see each participant's response to the poll question. (These individual responses cannot be shared with other meeting participants.) The chair can preserve participants' privacy by allowing them to respond anonymously to poll questions.
 - Mark correct answers. The chair can specify correct answers for poll questions. When the chair shares the poll responses, participants can see if they answered the question correctly.
Sending a Poll
Follow these steps to send a poll question to the meeting participants:
 1. Click the New Poll icon New Poll on the Polling Tab, or choose Tools - Polling - New Poll.
 2. Enter your question in the "Question" area.
 3. Select the type of question from the drop-down list. Depending on the type of question you select, some answers might be filled in automatically. For example, if you select a True/False question, the answers True and False automatically appear. You can edit these automatic answers if you like.
 4. If necessary, enter the answers to the question.
 5. (Optional) If you want to mark the correct answers, select the check box or radio button next to the correct answers. You see the answers marked as correct when you view or share the poll responses. Participants do not see the correct answers until you share the poll responses.
 6. (Optional) If you want participants' answers to remain anonymous, select "Responses are anonymous."
 7. Note If responses are anonymous, you cannot see the names of the respondents when you view individual poll responses.
 8. Do one of the following:
 - Click the Send Poll icon Send Poll to send the poll immediately. A new window containing the question and answers appears on the other participants' computer screens. (You cannot respond to polls that you send.)
 9. Click the Close Sent Poll icon Close Poll to close the polling window. The question window is closed for all participants (latecomers will not see this poll) but the responses window stays open for you to view.
Tip To resend a question, double-click the question on the Polling tab and then click the Send Poll icon Send Poll.

The Little LyricLand Key Stage 1 Curriculum is an exploration of the seven elements of music led by the cheery Percy Pitchmouse. We join Percy and his friends as we explore everything the world of LyricLand has to offer, discovering new elements of music through singing, chanting and playing instruments.
Developed in conjunction with several primary schools both state and private across the London Borough of Havering, this interactive educational resource is ideal for those less confident Key Stage 1 teachers to get involved with singing and playing instruments led by Percy on video.
Each lesson has a clear plan with learning objectives with an associated song which explores the learning objective in a variety of different ways. There are opportunities for tasks both creative and academic, and throughout this curriculum students are encouraged to create their own LyricLands, with outcomes aiding them to become composers and improvisers.
We are currently developing a series of videos led by Percy to structure lessons beyond the lesson plans and associated resources to ensure that this is a truly interactive and engaging project.
We are currently beta testing this video curriculum with Ardleigh Green Infant School.
For more information about this Curriculum or to use it in your school, Contact Me.

Studies on some raw material characteristics in different Swedish apple varieties
Publikation/Tidskrift/Serie: Journal of Food Engineering
Some raw material characteristics were evaluated in three apple varieties cultivated in Southern Sweden, namely Kim, Mutsu and Jonagold. The study was undertaken to collect information in order to identify the effects of initial tissue properties on mass transport phenomena in general, and osmotic processing responses in particular. The texture profile analysis revealed cortex anisotropy of the three apple varieties studied. The porosity and bulk density varied depending on the sampling location within the apple. More specifically, in each variety the bulk density increased by about 10% on going from the skin to the core of the apple, while the porosity decreased by about 50-60% from the skin to the core of the apple. Experiments to evaluate the tissue pore accessibility, performed by immersion in apple juice, showed that for the agitation levels used in osmotic processing the Kim apple variety had the lowest pore accessibility. Following a simple analysis of the pore accessibility experiments it was inferred that, irrespective of the dominating mechanism driving the osmotic medium into the pores of apple tissue, the pore penetration of the osmotic medium alone cannot explain the extent and the speed of solids uptake during osmotic processing.

The objective of this article was to develop a structure of a decision-making model for selection of optimal locations of sewage sludge installation on the example of the Silesian Voivodeship. Selection of locations for waste treatment facilities belongs to complex multicriteria decision-making problems.
Taking into account the problems of modelling the supply network for the effective management of sewage sludge corresponding to the concept of circular economy, the paper presents the application of the centre of gravity method for determining the optimal locations for the sewage sludge treatment plant based on the fertilizer production process.
The research carried out for the purpose of this study included identification of key elements of the sewage sludge management system, analysis and quantitative and qualitative assessment of sewage sludge streams, analysis of criteria excluding the selection of installation locations, gathering spatial data resulting from defined criteria, determination of optimal location for installations (using the method of determining optimal solutions for the location of objects – the centre of gravity method). All spatial data are presented on thematic maps prepared with the use of QGIS software.
The result of the research is a description of the decision-making model structure based on optimization of installation location and including technological and logistic, ecological, infrastructural, economic and legal and social criteria in the process of planning the location of a circular economy plant.

Biconditional - sql, PL-SQL Programming
Biconditional - SQL
The biconditional p ↔ q can be expressed in Tutorial D by p = q and the same is true of SQL. The question then arises as to whether, in SQL, p = q is equivalent to (¬p ∨ q) ∧ (¬q ∨ p). This matter is investigated in the truth table of Figure.
1394_biconditional.png
Figure: SQL p = q ≡ (¬p ∨ q) ∧ (¬q ∨ p)
As you can see, the equivalence does hold in SQL, but only because SQL treats unknown as not equal to-i.e., not the same truth value as-itself ! This treatment of p = q is consistent with the general rule that applies when NULL is an operand of a comparison in SQL.

Hi guys,
So, we are making a project where we use 3 UV sensors.
We want to get the readings of 3 sensors connected together but we want the serial monitor to show only the readings of the highest intensity of the sensors. So whenever one of the sensor is been directed towards the sun we want only that sensor's readings to show up. And we are not sure how to make the 3 sensors all in one code
This is the original code of one sensor
//Hardware pin definitions
int UVOUT = A0; //Output from the sensor
int REF_3V3 = A1; //3.3V power on the Arduino board
void setup()
 pinMode(UVOUT, INPUT);
 pinMode(REF_3V3, INPUT);
 Serial.println("ML8511 example");
void loop()
 int uvLevel = averageAnalogRead(UVOUT);
 int refLevel = averageAnalogRead(REF_3V3);
 //Use the 3.3V power pin as a reference to get a very accurate output value from sensor
 float outputVoltage = 3.3 / refLevel * uvLevel;
 float uvIntensity = mapfloat(outputVoltage, 0.99, 2.8, 0.0, 15.0); //Convert the voltage to a UV intensity level
 Serial.print("output: ");
 Serial.print("ML8511 output: ");
 Serial.print(" / ML8511 voltage: ");
 Serial.print(" / UV Intensity (mW/cm^2): ");
//Takes an average of readings on a given pin
//Returns the average
int averageAnalogRead(int pinToRead)
 byte numberOfReadings = 8;
 unsigned int runningValue = 0;
 for(int x = 0 ; x < numberOfReadings ; x++)
 runningValue += analogRead(pinToRead);
 runningValue /= numberOfReadings;
//The Arduino Map function but for floats

Banggai crow description
This medium-sized crow is entirely black with a light iris and relatively short tail. The slender-billed crow (Corvus enca) is very similar to the Banggai crow, but can be distinguished by its larger overall size, bigger bill and proportionately longer tail (2).
- Length: 39 cm (2)
Banggai crow biology
No information exists on the social, reproductive or feeding behaviour of the Banggai crow (4).Top
Banggai crow range
Visits to the Banggai islands in 1981, 1991 and 1996 yielded no definite records of this species, but observations of black crows on Banggai Island in 1981, and a small crow seen at the western end of Peleng Island (within Banggai archipelago) in 1991 gave hope that the species still occurred (4). This hope was fulfilled when, in 2007, further surveys of Peleng Island successfully located two specimens of Banggai crow (5).Top
Banggai crow habitat
The Banggai crow occupies montane forest (5).Top
Banggai crow status
The Banggai crow is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the IUCN Red List (1).Top
Banggai crow threats
Based on the small number of records for this species, and the rapid rates of habitat loss within its range, the Banggai crow is likely to have only a very small population (2). Unfortunately, it remains hunted by local residents of Peleng Island (5).
In addition, extensive deforestation threatens to claim the last remaining areas of this species' habitat (2) (3) (4). The Banggai crow may also be affected by competition with the slender-billed crow (C. enca) (3).Top
Banggai crow conservation
Following its rediscovery, conservation efforts are being undertaken to protect the Banggai crow and its forest habitat, promoting sustainable agriculture, and possibly eco-tourism, as well as educating local people about the bird's plight (2) (5).
Along with these efforts, further surveys and the establishment of a protected area are necessary to ensure that the Banggai crow is not lost again (2).Top

This document describes the guidelines for assessing fracture features as they relate to forensic glass analysis.
|Scientific Working Group for Materials Analysis Documents
Trace evidence recovery guidelines
|American Society for Testing and Materials Standard|
|C1256 Standard Practice for Interpreting Glass Fracture Features|
Concentric cracks are fractures forming in an approximately circular pattern around the point of impact. They are usually in straight segments that terminate in an existing radial crack.
Cone or crater (Hertzian cone) is a funnel-shaped area of damage caused by a high-velocity impact.
Hackle is a line on the crack surface running parallel to the local direction of crack spreading.
Radial cracks are fractures extending outward from the point of impact.
Ream is an imperfection; nonhomogeneous layers of flat glass.
Wallner lines (ridges) are rib-shaped marks with a wave-like pattern. Wallner lines are called rib marks or ridges to describe their shape and are almost always concave in the direction from which the crack was propagating.
This guideline discusses the characterization and assessment of the significance of fracture features in glass as observed through microscopic and macroscopic examination. This guideline also describes the reconstruction of broken glass objects.
Fracture patterns are unique. Fracture features in a piece of glass reflect the nature of the glass and the direction of travel and velocity of the breaking object. Glass fracture examinations can provide information as to the direction of the breaking force and the sequence of multiple impacts. A physical match of two pieces of glass establishes that they came from the same source to the exclusion of all other sources.
Extreme care should be taken to prevent further breakage of the glass during any phases of packing, shipping, or unpacking of glass shards. Proper sample preparation and technique are prerequisites for obtaining reliable results. See the Scientific Working Group for Materials Analysis Collection, Handling, and Identification of Glass.
7.1. Physical Reconstruction
Ensure that all pieces of glass could have originated from the same object (see the Scientific Working Group for Materials Analysis Initial Examinations of Glass). Coatings, the float surface, and other features may be used to aid in the orientation of glass pieces prior to reconstruction. Align the edges of two pieces of glass that appear to match physically. Two pieces of glass will not slip past one another with gentle pressure when there is a physical match. Examine the broken edges using low-power light microscopy to observe corresponding Wallner lines (ridges) and/or hackle marks on the matching pieces of glass. Features, such as surface scratches or ream, may also match across a fracture.
7.2. Types of Fractures
Low-velocity impact, high-velocity impact, and thermal fractures may be observed in glass and can be differentiated.
|7.2.1. Low-velocity impact fractures|
|Low-velocity projectiles produce cracks in the glass, which radiate outward from the point of impact (radial cracks). If a pane is firmly held on all sides, concentric cracks can form around the point of impact. The sequence of multiple impacts can be deduced when the cracks caused by a subsequent impact terminate at previously formed cracks.|
|By observing the Wallner lines (ridges) on the radial cracks, the direction of breaking force can often be determined. Observe only the Wallner lines on the radial cracks nearest the point of impact. If the impact site is not preserved, the glass must be reconstructed. The original orientation of the glass must be known to complete the determination.|
|The ridges (Wallner lines) on radial cracks nearest the point of impact are at right angles to the side opposite, or to the rear, of the impact. This phenomenon is referred to as the 4R rule, (Ridges on Radial cracks are at Right angle to the Rear.) The 4R rule is unreliable for laminated glass, tempered glass, and small windows tightly held in a frame (Koons et al. 2002).|
7.2.2. High-velocity impact fractures
|A high-speed projectile striking a piece of glass will produce a cone or crater. If the projectile passes through the glass, the opening on the exit side will be larger than the opening on the entry side. If the impact site is not preserved, the glass must be reconstructed to observe any coning effects. However, because of the small size of the shattered fragments at the impact site, the reconstruction of a sufficient portion of the object to display coning effects may not be possible. The size of the hole and the diameter of the crater cannot be used to reliably predict the size of the projectile. Projectiles that pass through the glass at an angle to the surface produce an elongated hole.|
|Radial cracks may also develop from high-velocity impact (see Section 184.108.40.206 for the 4R rule). The sequence of multiple impacts can be deduced when the cracks caused by a subsequent impact terminate at previously formed cracks.|
7.2.3. Thermal fractures
In nontempered glass a typical heat crack is curved, has a smooth edge, and has no indication of the point of origin of the crack. Localized heating of thick pieces of glass can cause cracks with a feathered appearance. The side to which the heat was applied cannot be determined from fracture edges (Frechette 1990).
Glass fragments that are reconstructed with coinciding edges came from the same object. If the direction of impact and/or the sequence of impact have been determined, they should be reported.

text: |Abstract:||Exemplar-based approaches to phonology presuppose that each exemplar can be assigned to a particular point in some fixed-dimensional mathematical space, such that it has a measurable distance from all other exemplars. But the speech signal is inherently of variable length. A new technique from the machine learning literature, the string kernel, permits variable-length signals to be mapped to fixed-dimensional space, by computing the extent to which they contain the same (contiguous and non-contiguous) sub-sequences. In this article, the string kernel technique is applied to a computational implementation of a phonological exemplar-based learning system (PEBLS). An experiment is presented, using this model to test an exemplar-based account of phonologization.

Yellow-Necked Mouse
Yellow Necked mouse Apodemus flavicollis
Yellow-necked mice are a more uncommon species and you may not be familiar with them. They have a nice temperament, although they are wild and do not make good pets.
They have a distinctive yellow patch of fur on their collars which gives them their name. You you think you have some on land near you, you should be able to identify them if you look carefully enough.
Let's take a look at how they live, survive, what they eat, and their other behaviours and habits.
Yellow Necked Mice Description
Yellow-necked mice are typically between 9-13 centimeters from their nose to their tails. With their tails also being between 9-13 centimeters in length.
They weigh around 20-30 grams fully grown. Making them bigger than your standard house mice, and distinctly different looking so you're not going to mistaken for one if you see one.
The top of their bodies have dark brown fur, and their underbellies have orange flanks. Their name yellow-neck comes from the yellow collar marking's they have. Their large eyes, long tails and large ears are other distinguishable characteristics.
Their scientific name is apodemus flavicollis.
Yellow-Necked Mice Habitat
The interesting thing about yellow-necked mice is that they stay very close to where they live. Usually not going outside of half a hectare. They will nest somewhere they have a food source and shelter.
They can live happily overlapping with other mice and their living areas. They can fight to defend territory, but they are largely placid and mild tempered.
They prefer woodlands and nature spots with lots of nature activity. Choosing to nest under ground level around stumps of trees and large hedges. They collect dry leaves, moss and grass to build up their nesting area.
Yellow-Necked Mice Behaviour
Yellow-necked mice do not hibernate like other mice, they are active all year round. During the winter it's not uncommon to find a group of them nesting together to stay warm in their nests.
They are incredibly competent climbers and can jump from tree branches and bushes with ease. Their burrows often become long and complex in construction over time, and they use different areas to keep food and sleep.
They will bring nesting materials into their burrows and make areas more comfortable. They are busy and interesting rodents to watch going about their business. Very good at finding food and storing it up.
They are nocturnal creatures and can see really well at night. To see these mice in their natural habitat is difficult and rare. You would have to go out of your way to catch them.
What Do Yellow-Necked Mice Eat
They eat mostly seeds, fruit, insects like spiders, larvae and other scraps in the wild. They are omnivores, so they will and can eat just about anything they come across.
They store their food in burrows they have made underground and can stockpile enough to cover winter months. Their diets are very similar to that of a wood mouse.
Yellow-Necked Mice Breeding
The breeding cycle for yellow-necked mice is February to October. With their peak breeding months are July and August. A female will typically have 2-3 litters, each with 3-10 young each year.
Gestation period lasts for 23 days. After three weeks the offspring are finished weaning and start becoming active. That distinctive yellow collar on their neck becomes visible after around two weeks just as they are opening their eyes.
Yellow-Necked Mouse Life Expectancy
Their life expectancy is between 2-3 years. It's hard to put an accurate number on their lifespan because they are at risk of so many predators in the wild. Foxes, owls, and weasels are among their main predators.
The yellow-necked mouse is good at evading predators with their agility, speed, and their tail skin is also detachable. If they are stressed or their tails are being held tight they can shed the skin to escape.
They also find harsh winters hard to survive, especially if they are a couple of years old. They need warmth and will huddle together with other mice to try and preserve some heat.

|Digital Energy > Protection & Control > Voltage and Frequency Relays > STV Overexcitation Relay|
The Type STV relay is a single-phase static overexcitation relay. It consists of an overexcitation sensing unit which has a linear volts per hertz pickup characteristic, and a timing unit to provide a definite time before initiating some protective action. A target seal-in unit is also provided to protect the timing unit contacts during tripping duty.
The Type STV relay is designed specifically for equipment protection in case of overexcitation. Overexcitation of a generator or power transformer may occur during start-up, shutdown, or as result of remote load rejection. As as result, overheating due to core saturation within a very short time may cause severe damage. This relay, employing a constant volts per hertz pickup, recognizes overexcitation and initiates some appropriate action to protect the equipment.Features and Benefits
Target seal-in units
Transformer and generator protection
Alarm and backup protection
Adjustable pick-up voltage
Adjustable time delay

The Institute of Positive Education (IPE) is a ground-breaking initiative by Geelong Grammar School, the first school to embed the principles of Positive Psychology into all aspects of school life.
The IPE's primary role is to deliver transformational educational programmes to promote wellbeing throughout the world. The IPE aims to teach students valuable life skills on which they can increase their learning capacity and build a successful and happy life.
In 2018, the IPE delivered 124 training courses comprising 208 training days, which were attended by over 6000 participants. The IPE's training team has a combined total of more than 150 years of classroom and school leadership experience and over 50 years of practice implementing Positive Education. The team consists of experienced teachers (primary and secondary) and qualified psychologists and researchers.
The programmes offered by the IPE are designed to have a meaningful impact on the future wellbeing of both educators and young people so that they can flourish and contribute to their world in more positive ways. The IPE's training courses allow participants to explore the key concepts and skills of Positive Education in a practical way and all content is supported by empirical research and are evidence-based.
About Positive Education
The fundamental goal of Positive Education is to promote flourishing within the school community. Around 160,000 young people aged 16 to 24 live with depression each year. While there has been some decline in suicide rates in Australia in the past ten years, suicide continues to be one of the leading causes of death in Australians aged between 15 and 24. With this epidemic of mental health problems, Geelong Grammar School made a commitment to its young people to take positive action to promote wellbeing in schools. Research is now beginning to show that Positive Education programmes decrease stress and anxiety as well as increase self-efficacy, self-esteem and optimism. Evidence-based Positive Education programmes are playing a crucial role in teaching the skills of wellbeing and promoting positive health for students. Positive Education provides strategies to get the best out of life's situations, from exercising resilience when facing adversity to using strengths when striving for future goals. A flourishing student is engaged in their learning, contributes positively to their community and nurtures many healthy relationships. Schools have a prime opportunity to impact the wellbeing of young people by implementing a Positive Education programme.
The Institute of Positive Education presents The Science of Achievement Conference taking place at the National Education Summit on Friday 30 August 2019.

 "unhein" ka arth hai "them" ya "to them"
 Hi Mina, There is no such word like उन्हों (unho) it is उन्होंने (unhone). eg. उन्होंने हमे खाना दिया (unhone hume khana diya. meaning-they gave us food.) उन्हें (unhe) eg.उन्हें खाना दे दो (unhe khana de do. meaning-give them food)
 Hope it's clear.
 Hi, to be honest it's a bit difficult to explain the exact differences between these words from a grammatical point of view as I'm no expert. I can give you some example sentences so that you can observe how they are used.
 1. UnhePersonally I feel unhe can mean them/they. It's used more often when the subjects are being passive or acted upon.
 a. Unhe coffee de do : Give them/him/her coffee (if it's a senior or elder you can use uhne instead of the usual usse (him/her) even though it's just one person. It's more polite this way.)
 b. Uhne thand lag rahi hai (They are feeling cold )
 c. Unhe e-mail bhej do (Send them an email)
 2. UnhoneIt's when they (the subjects) are being active rather than passive that one uses unhone. It's used more often with the past tense.
 a. unhone mujhe bulaya (They called me)
 b. Unhone hume khana diya (They gave us food)
 c. unhone kaam kahatam kar diya (They have finished the work)

Do squirrels get angry?
Those familiar with these expressive rodents know how they let their anger be known: a guttural growl, a chattering of teeth, a stamping of feet.
But the key to interpreting their emotions may also lie somewhere else: in the curve of their majestic, bushy tails..
What does it mean when a squirrel comes to you?
When the squirrel spirit animal appears to you, this is a sign to take life a little less seriously. The squirrel symbolism encourages you to inject more fun and laughter, and just enjoy the wonders of your world! … The squirrel meaning is about surrendering and letting things happen, just like the raccoon meaning.
What is the IQ of a squirrel?
Squirrels are extremely intelligent creatures. They are known to put on elaborate bogus food burying displays to deceive onlookers. The fake burials are to trick potential thieves, such as other squirrels or birds, into thinking that they have stored their food stock there. … There are 44 species of 'flying squirrel'.
Do squirrels remember humans?
Squirrels are likewise extremely intelligent animals that have demonstrated that they have superb memories. … There are numerous well documented instances of squirrels remembering human beings. Wild squirrels are quickly trained to keep in mind that particular individuals can be risk-free and trusted sources of food.
Do squirrels have feelings?
Do Squirrels Have Feelings? Just like humans, squirrels are mammals. And just like humans, squirrels experience emotions. If you have ever spent time with squirrels, then you know that squirrels can feel happy, angry, curious and frustrated.
How long do squirrels normally live?
Life-span: Some live up to 10 years in the wild although most only manage 3-4 years.
Do squirrels recognize faces?
The squirrels will quickly come to recognize who you are so that they do not feel so disturbed by your presence. Observe the behavior of the squirrels. … After about a week, depending on how often you visit, the squirrels should begin to recognize your presence and will not be as fearful of you.
Are squirrel good pets?
Squirrels were protected in wildlife conservation and exotic pet laws. Today, it's illegal to keep a squirrel as a pet in many states. Animal experts believe this is a good thing, because squirrels are wild animals that, despite their cuteness, should remain in the wild.
Are Squirrels bad to have around?
Tree squirrels may be pesky, but they are not a danger or health risk. But tree squirrels do annoy–and even scare–some people with their antics. … It is not a good idea to teach squirrels or any wild animal to eat from your hands.
Do squirrels have a good memory?
Grey squirrels are known to have good long-term memory — they are "scatter-hoarders," collecting and hiding thousands of nuts every autumn.

Python Question
Dynamically printing value of entry in another entry
My code:
import tkinter as tk
disp = tk.Tk()
hlabel=tk.Label(text="host")
hlabel.grid(column=0,row=0)
host_entry = tk.Entry(disp)
host_entry.grid(row=0,column=1)
plabel=tk.Label(text="port")
plabel.grid(column=0,row=1)
port_entry = tk.Entry(disp)
port_entry.grid(row=1,column=1)
ulabel=tk.Label(text="Url")
ulabel.grid(column=0,row=3)
url_entry=tk.Entry(disp)
url_entry.grid(row=3,column=1)
url_entry.insert(0,'http://{0}:{1}'.format(host_entry.get(),port_entry.get()))
url_entry.config(state='disabled')
disp.mainloop()
I looked through this awesome answer but couldn't figure out.
The
'host'
and
'port'
should be displayed in the
'url'
Entry as
http://localhost:8080.
The text should be displayed dynamically in
url
.
Thanks for your help.
Answer
The simplest solution is to use a textvariable for each entry, put a trace on each variable, and then update the third entry whenever the trace fires.
First, define a function to update the third entry. It will be called by the trace functions, which automatically appends some arguments which we won't use:
def update_url(*args):
 host = host_var.get()
 port = port_var.get()
 url = "http://{0}:{1}".format(host, port)
 url_var.set(url)
Next, create the variables:
host_var = tk.StringVar()
port_var = tk.StringVar()
url_var = tk.StringVar()
Next, add a trace on the host and port:
host_var.trace("w", update_url)
port_var.trace("w", update_url)
Finally, associate the variables with the entries:
host_entry = tk.Entry(..., textvariable=host_var)
port_entry = tk.Entry(..., textvariable=port_var)
url_entry=tk.Entry(..., textvariable=url_var)
Here it is as a full working example:
import tkinter as tk
def update_url(*args):
 host = host_var.get()
 port = port_var.get()
 url = "http://{0}:{1}".format(host, port)
 url_var.set(url)
disp = tk.Tk()
host_var = tk.StringVar()
port_var = tk.StringVar()
url_var = tk.StringVar()
host_var.trace("w", update_url)
port_var.trace("w", update_url)
hlabel=tk.Label(text="host")
plabel=tk.Label(text="port")
ulabel=tk.Label(text="Url")
host_entry = tk.Entry(disp, textvariable=host_var)
port_entry = tk.Entry(disp, textvariable=port_var)
url_entry=tk.Entry(disp, textvariable=url_var)
url_entry.config(state='disabled')
hlabel.grid(column=0,row=0)
host_entry.grid(row=0,column=1)
plabel.grid(column=0,row=1)
port_entry.grid(row=1,column=1)
ulabel.grid(column=0,row=3)

Acoustic characteristics of the vocal tract have been investigated extensively in the literature using a one-dimensional (1D) acoustic simulation method. Because the 1D method assumes plane wave propagation only, it is recognized to be valid only in the low frequency region (below about 4 or 5 kHz). Recently, a three-dimensional (3D) acoustic simulation method was developed, to obtain more precise acoustic characteristics of the vocal tract. In the present study, from a male's vocal tract shapes, transfer functions were calculated using the 1D and 3D methods and compared with each other to evaluate the valid frequency range of the 1D method. As a result, when acoustic effects of the piriform fossae were considered in the 1D method, the transfer functions agreed with each other up to 7 kHz (ignoring small dips). The 3D method showed that a deep dip was generated at around 8 kHz by the transverse resonance mode in the pharynx. Above this dip frequency, the transfer functions disagreed with each other. Thus, the 1D method is valid up to 7 kHz for this subject. Because this subject has a relatively large vocal tract, in general the upper limit of the valid frequency range could exceed 8 kHz.

Welding helmets and helmet assemblies cover a welder's face to protect against sparks, extreme heat, flash burns and retina burns caused by UV and infrared light. Welding helmet assemblies include a shroud, which covers the welder's neck and upper torso, and a welding helmet. Welding helmets have large viewings lenses that can be passive or auto-darkening. Auto-darkening lenses automatically adjust in the presence of UV and infrared light. They improve visibility and protect the welder from retina burns and vision loss.
Welding helmet parts and accessories are used for equipment maintenance and repair. Replacement cover plates, headgear, retainers and spider clips are available for different types of welding helmets. Duct, inner shell and welding shield clip assemblies include multiple components for simple part replacement. A wide variety of kits also contain sets of supplies, such as adapters, cover plates, shields and sweatbands.
Welding helmet lenses, filters and plates are used to protect a welder's eyes from harmful radiation, heat, sparks and debris. Welding helmet lenses are filtered to improve visibility and protect against retina burns and vision loss caused by UV and infrared light. They can be passive, which means they have a fixed filter shade, or they can be auto-darkening. Auto-darkening lenses automatically adjust in the presence of UV and infrared light."

/delaysign
Specifies whether the assembly will be fully or partially signed.
/delaysign[+ | -]
+ | -
Optional. Use /delaysign- if you want a fully signed assembly. Use /delaysign+ if you want to place the public key in the assembly and reserve space for the signed hash. The default is /delaysign-.
The /delaysign option has no effect unless used with /keyfile or /keycontainer.
When you request a fully signed assembly, the compiler hashes the file that contains the manifest (assembly metadata) and signs that hash with the private key. The resulting digital signature is stored in the file that contains the manifest. When an assembly is delay signed, the compiler does not compute and store the signature but reserves space in the file so the signature can be added later.
For example, by using /delaysign+, a developer in an organization can distribute unsigned test versions of an assembly that testers can register with the global assembly cache and use. When work on the assembly is completed, the person responsible for the organization's private key can fully sign the assembly. This compartmentalization protects the organization's private key from disclosure, while allowing all developers to work on the assemblies.
See Creating and Using Strong-Named Assemblies for more information on signing an assembly.
To set /delaysign in the Visual Studio integrated development environment
 1. Have a project selected in Solution Explorer. On the Project menu, click Properties. For more information, see Introduction to the Project Designer.
 2. Click the Signing tab.
 3. Set the value in the Delay sign only box.

An innovative soil nutrient mapping and testing platform developed by Persistence Data Mining, Inc. and the Ohio Soybean Council won a 2019 R&D 100 Award. The system, Soilytics, uses hyperspectral imaging technology to accurately identify organic matter, soil type, moisture, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and much more in soil.
The new system is faster and more economical that current soil testing systems. The results provide farmers with data that can help improve environmental stewardship and profitability.
"Farmers need more precise, real-time, soil nutrient mapping," said Bill Bateson, Ohio farmer and Ohio Soybean Council chairman. "This type of technology can help us better manage input costs without loss of productivity, as well as protect water and soil quality. I'm really excited to see where this technology goes and proud that the Ohio Soybean Council and soybean checkoff is a part of it."

It's not that hard to create such a template yourself or modify another template to contain a radial progress indicator. Start by creating the base frame with a circle object and lines going out to boxes or other circles. Label each object. Now duplicate the slide as many times as needed. Last, go to each of the duplicated slides and bold the text on the active item you're about to cover or perhaps change the background color like in the example you provided.

Recently, an approach using the discrete event paradigm for the simulation of continuous systems has been developed. This approach is based on the use of piecewise-linear approximations for the representation of continuous, time-varying quantities. The focus of this paper is to show how this new technique can be implemented on a multiprocessor. Our hypothesis is that the Time Warp algorithm is the natural protocol for parallel simulation using continuous, piecewise-linear signals.
We have implemented a prototype simulator and measured its performance on a multiprocessor using several benchmarks. On the basis of these benchmarks we show that the best performance is achieved when using a scheduling algorithm that gives priority to messages with lower timestamps and when the lazy-cancellation variant of Time Warp is used. In this case, the performance of our prototype simulator compares quite favourably with the estimates of optimum performance based on a critical path analysis of the sequential simulation. In fact, our results indicate that in certain cases the performance of the Time Warp algorithm using lazy cancellation can exceed the conservative optimum estimate obtained from the critical path analysis.

More Riverside County residents – adults and young people – smoke than in previous years, and residents eat fast food more often than the rest of California.
Those factors might help explain why Riverside County ranks near the bottom in overall health among California counties and why more than 60 percent of early deaths here are caused by heart disease, cancer, lung disease and stroke.
These nuggets and more detailed information can be found in the 2013 Community Health Profile, an 83-page snapshot of the health of county residents.
The report, released by the County of Riverside Department of Public Health, describes the health issues facing Riverside County residents. It illustrates the scope of the chronic disease problem, the behaviors that lead to disease, and suggests opportunities to change behaviors to improve health.
Recent studies ranked Riverside County 32nd among California's 58 counties in overall health.
"We're using data to tell a story; create a roadmap," said Wendy Hetherington, chief epidemiologist for the county. "The report will help guide our public health programs and policies."
The report is also the foundation for the Healthy Riverside County Initiative, an effort being launched in conjunction with the release of the health profile.
Using the findings of the report the initiative has four priority areas: Improving eating habits, increase daily physical activity, reduce tobacco rates and building healthier environments that support walking, biking and exercise.
"It's a new era of community involvement and population health improvement. The profile serves as starting point for community driven change. By making better food and drink choices, building exercise into our day and not smoking, we can make a difference not only for ourselves but for our friends and family," said Dr. Cameron Kaiser, Riverside County interim health officer.
The report, which includes data collected from local, state and federal sources, provides a resource for educational institutions, cities and other municipalities looking for ways to improve the health of their employees and residents.

A relic of a once prosperous past can be viewed near the shores of the Atlantic in Puerto Rico's Porta del Sol region. El Túnel de Guajataca stands as a remnant of the island's not so distant past when steam engines rolled into this tunnel and out, bridging the distance between opposing coasts with speeds hitherto unseen.
Begun by the Spanish in the late 19th Century and expanded further by the American Railroad Company of New York, the railroad facilitated the transport of sugarcane and passengers around the island. The trains that ran along the now disappeared tracks were an essential cog in the development of the sugarcane plantation economy that dominated Puerto Rico since the arrival of the United States in 1898 until the train's last ride on September 20th, 1953.
Now just a curiosity bored unto the side of the region's majestic karst hills, visitors can walk through the tunnel, following the old railroad's path along Quebradillas's rocky coast. A nearby beach offers the chance to gaze out into the endless horizon while surrounded by the forceful, crashing waves and the uninterrupted trade winds coming in from the open sea.

Resist temptation: concentrate on the correct concentrations
Most detergent products are designed to work at a specific concentration. The formulation, concentration and pH are a good measure of the strength of the solution. The temptation is to use more chemical in order to achieve better cleaning or faster results.
When cleaning carpet, resist this temptation! First, excess detergent will likely leave excess residue on the carpet, which can attract soils. Plus, using extra product will start to cost you serious money. Just calculate the cost of repeatedly using even one extra ounce per gallon of concentrate over a period of days or weeks!
Most importantly, many detergent systems need a specific amount of water to function properly. Making and using stronger-than-recommended concentrations may not actually clean as well.

The most common type of chloride present in a dog's system is sodium chloride. But this mineral performs a lot of functions, and it can also be reformed into hydrochloric acid, which can be found in your pet's stomach. This substance is essential for the digestion of any type of food.
In today's article, we are looking at high or low chloride in dogs' blood, its causes, its diagnosis, and its treatment, and we're also discussing supplements that contain this mineral and what they can be used for.
Why Should Chloride Exist in Your Dog's Blood?
Both potassium and sodium chloride have to be present in your dog's blood flow as they can regulate the transmission of substances from one cell to another. Chloride ions are also essential when it comes to composing the electrolytes that can be found in your pet's system.
On top of that, chloride ions are in charge of keeping your pet's blood volume within stable limits. This means that your dog shouldn't have high or low blood pressure if the amount of chloride ions they have in their blood is normal.
The kidneys are in charge of managing the quantities of sodium and potassium chloride present in your dog's body. Therefore, pets that have renal pathologies are likely to have issues with their chloride levels.
Natural Sources of Chloride
Since the most common kind of chloride is actually sodium chloride, this means that the most common source is table salt. However, dogs and cats should not have high amounts of salt as it can wreak havoc on their bodies.
Chloride can also be found in unprocessed meat and fish, as well as several types of fruit, but the quantities in these sources are relatively low, so they are actually safer compared to supplements. Even eggs contain 4 to 7% of sodium chloride.
Hyperchloremia – Too Much Chloride in Your Pet's Blood
Hyperchloremia can have several different causes, and that's because it depends on the type of chloride whose level increases in your dog's blood. For example, if your dog has had too much salt, they might experience some of the following symptoms:
- A lack of appetite for water
Some dogs can experience somewhat similar symptoms when their potassium chloride levels are increased. This usually happens when pets receive IV fluids, and they don't have enough time to absorb the electrolytes properly.
The two most common symptoms seen in dogs with increased levels of potassium chloride are hyperventilation and kidney health issues, so changes in the dog's urinary habits, as well as diarrhea.
High blood chloride can also be caused by other factors, such as those listed below:
- Cushing's disease
- NSAIDs (meloxicam or carprofen)
Hypochloremia – Low Levels of Chloride in Your Dog's Blood
Low blood chloride is somewhat less common than high blood chloride, especially in healthy adult dogs. Most pets get the nutrients they need from the commercial diets they have.
Even though some pet owners might be adamant about not giving their dogs salt in any situation whatsoever, those animals are still not going to end up developing hypochloremia.
However, this health problem can be caused by dehydration, a secondary symptom of infectious and non-infectious gastrointestinal disease, where the dog vomits and has diarrhea, therefore losing precious electrolytes.
Other causes of hypochloremia are Addison's disease, the use of laxatives and diuretics, as well as chronic heart disease. Bicarbonate (which is toxic to dogs and should never be given to them for an upset tummy) can also cause hypochloremia, and its IV use should also be carefully analyzed.
How Are Chloride Variations Diagnosed and Treated?
Simple blood tests can reveal any changes in your dog's blood chloride levels, but the issue is that this type of test is not exactly commonly used. What we mean by this is that the vet specifically has to suspect a condition that correlates with chloride changes.
Standard blood tests might not be enough. A blood biochemistry panel for sodium and potassium can be revealing in this sense.
As for the treatment, it depends on your dog's health status. Generally, chloride blood level changes can be treated with IV fluids as they are the best when it comes to balancing the electrolyte blood levels that your dog has.
The pet might also have to receive symptomatic therapy for the clinical signs that they are showing, so as to stop dehydration, for example – anti-nausea medication or specific medication for diarrhea.
Although sodium or potassium chloride can be ingredients of various vitamin and mineral complex supplements, there are specific products made for dogs that have had hyperor hypochloremia in the past or those that have urinary health problems.
For example, ammonium chloride is a urine acidifier that can be used for urinary stones or for treating poisoning or metabolic alkalosis. It's less commonly utilized in pets; however, it is more common in large animal veterinary medicine. Pets usually receive potassium chloride supplements, such as those specifically designed for renal health.
In any case, adding supplements to your dog's diet should only be done under the guidance of a veterinarian, so make sure you talk to your vet beforehand. They know best what conditions your dog might have and if one supplement or another might be dangerous for their health.

Submarine cables and pipelines.
We will install submarine cables and water pipelines and construct seawater intakes and outfalls along the coastal areas of the UAE.
We can lay submarine pipelines and cables below the seabed level by either trenching or by horizontal directional drilling. We can also install precast concrete offshore intake heads for seawater intakes.
Typically the works for pipeline installation includes the following:-
Onshore welding of the pipeline strings, usually with butt-fusion welding machines. Then assembly of the pipeline weight collars onto the pipe with hydro-testing of the pipe strings.
The trenching works are normally carried out using barge mounted excavators or submersible trenchers, but in areas where it is required to have the pipeline much deeper below the seabed, the preferred method of installation is by Horizontal Directional Drilling. This is often required when the pipeline route Passes across:
Coral reef, mangroves, or other environmentally sensitive areas.
Busy shipping channels where marine construction works or ships anchors could damage the pipeline.
Areas where there is a future plan to deepen the waterway by dredging. The pipeline can be placed fare enough below the existing seabed level to allow for future dredging works.

Magnetic resonance imaging and a comprehensive cognitive evaluation were carried out in a series of 29 patients with mild to moderate Huntington's disease (HD). A factor analysis of the neuropsychological test scores provided three factors: a memory/speed-of-processing factor, a "frontal" factor, and a response inhibition factor. The memory/speed factor correlated significantly with measures of caudate atrophy, frontal atrophy, and atrophy of the left (but not the right) sylvian cistern. There were no significant correlations between the "frontal" or response inhibition factors and measures of cortical or subcortical brain atrophy. Our findings confirm that subcortical atrophy is significantly correlated with specific cognitive deficits in HD, and demonstrate that cortical atrophy also has important association with the cognitive deficits of patients with HD.

Secondary Transfer FAQ
 - When is the Open Transfer Period for the District?
 The transfer request window is March 1st – March 31st. The district has communicated the window on the District webpage.
 How does a parent initiate a transfer? Fort Worth ISD has created an online application process to apply for a transfer. Families will submit an online transfer application indicating their 1st and 2nd choice. Please note that the District has implemented a lottery system for the 2021-2022 Student Transfer process.
 Can a parent pick any campus to request a transfer?
 A parent may choose a campus that has space available and is not a "School of Choice".
 Are parents guaranteed the transfer on behalf of the student if they picked a school not "LIMITED"? No, transfers are based on board policy (FDB Local), eligibility criteria and campus capacity by grade level. Transfers will be selected utilizing the lottery system.
 1. A PEG student applying from a school within the District.
 2. A resident sibling of a resident student currently enrolled at the requested school.
 3. A child of a resident District employee.
 4. A resident of the District, but residing outside the attendance area of the requested school.
 5. A child of a nonresident District employee.
 6. A PEG student applying from a school outside the District.
 7. A nonresident student, subject to tuition.
 Provided that a school or grade level has not reached capacity, a transfer request shall be considered and granted based on the following characteristics of each applicant, in this order of priority:
 If a student did not get into a POC or SOC and wants to transfer, what is important to know?
 Fort Worth ISD promotes the student distribution model of neighborhood and choice lottery schools. As a process, each school in the district serves a specific neighborhood within that school's attendance zone. The requested transfer campus must have available space and your request must meet eligibility requirements outlined in board policy, FDB Local. A transfer request is not automatically granted.
 Can a parent's non-POC or non-SOC student participate in a choice program?
 No, a student accepted through a transfer will not be under consideration to participate in the POC offered at the campus. POC participation is through the Choice application and waiting list only.
 When will parents know if their child's transfer request is granted?
 The initial assignment will be completed by April 19, 2021. However, the process will remain open, for rolling placements, until approved number of enrollment slots are filled or waiting list is complete. The final day to assign a student by transfer is June 11, 2021. On June 11, 2021 the transfer process for the 2021-2022 school year will close. No more assignments will be made.
 What happens if a student is not granted a transfer? Who does the parent need to speak to?
 Transfer request approvals are very limited due to capacity parameters at our campuses. Your student will remain at their home campus for the 2021-2022 school year.

'The first fear...'
We're Building The Ship As We Sail It
The first fear
being drowning, the
ship's first shape
was a raft, which
was hard to unflatten
after that didn't
happen. It's awkward
to have to do one's
planning in extremis
in the early years -
so hard to hide later:
sleekening the hull,
making things
more gracious.
 1. Wonderful poem. Thanks, nige!
 2. I noticed another instance of the metaphor, not by a poet but by a philosopher:. I wonder whether there is a common source, but can't now think what it could be.
 3. Yes, thanks for that George. These images of sailing and staying afloat do apply very widely. Here's Michael Oakeshott on the business of governance: 'In political activity, then, men sail a boundless and bottomless sea: there is neither harbour for shelter, nor floor for anchorage, neither starting place nor appointed destination. The enterprise is to keep afloat on an even keel: the sea is both friend and enemy: and the seamanship consists in using the resources of a traditional manner of behaviour in order to make a friend of every hostile occasion.'
 4. The other day I read and enjoyed this analysis by Kay Ryan of Larkin's poem about a funeral in Ireland:
 5. Thanks Zoe – that's wonderful.


Table of Contents
Before publishing your tour, you'll need to test it. Testing your tour is an important step in the process as it allows us to pick up on issues, and this saves you from re-recording sections of your tour later on. This is why we test the tour before you start recording the audio for your tour.
Once the script has been edited, we'll add dummy audio to your tour for you so that you can experience your tour like any other user would. We use a fairly realistic robotic voice and provide you with a test walk report sheet. We'll also provide you with a coupon code so that you can test your tour with family and friends. When you walk the route, pay attention to three things:
 1. The directions: If the directions aren't clear, or they're too long this can confuse the listener and can cause them to get lost. Directions need to be as clear and simple as possible.
 2. How long the audio plays: If the audio for one location is still playing when another location's audio is supposed to start, then the audio in the other location won't trigger and start playing. In this case, you'll need to cut some of it or change the instructions you give to listeners. This generally doesn't require a new recording, because you can edit parts of the existing audio out.
 3. Where the audio starts: A track can start too early, too later or it might not play at all. If it starts too early or too late, ask your editor to move the location. Try to be specific, by suggesting that the location is moved ten metres forward or five metres to the left, for example, or to a particular landmark. A track might not play at all if it wasn't triggered due to the length of the previous track. If the length wasn't an issue and the track simply isn't playing, we'll then need to troubleshoot this.
You can also test the tour once all your recorded audio has been submitted and uploaded to the tour. You can do this by logging into VoiceMap's mobile apps using the same account you are using to create the route. Your unpublished walk will be listed along with all the others in your city, but will only be visible to you. This is usually the final test we run before publishing the tour. It allows us to pick up on any minor issues that may have been missed before hand and it's also a great way for you to experience your tour like any other user.
Troubleshooting #
While testing you might run into the following issues:
 - Some locations aren't playing audio at all
 - Some tracks aren't starting when/where they should
 - You receive our Lost Warning
In most cases, we can determine what the issue is if you send us a screen recording of what is happening in the app while you're out testing the tour. Most new phones have a built in screen recorder and you'll find it in the pull-down menu at the top of your screen. If you're unsure if your phone has one, a quick google search using your phone's model will determine if you have one or not. If you don't have one, there are plenty of screen recording apps for Android and iOS that you can install such as AZ Screen Recorder for Android and Record it! for iOS.
When recording your screen, please turn the volume up and make sure you've turned off VoiceMap's pocket mode as this will help us see the screen. You won't need to send us a recording of the entire tour, just the section that is problematic. You can also send us screenshots of what is happening on the screen but this is usually less effective in helping us determine what is causing the problem.
Some locations aren't playing audio
If this occurs, the first step is to determine whether the track before is still playing when you reach the trigger for the problematic track. You can figure this out while on the test walk. If you're in the trigger zone for the next track and the previous track is still playing, then it is too long. If you're unsure, you can ask your editor to check if the track before the problematic one is over the word count. If it is the length of the previous track is the problem, you can always remove a few sentences or get the listener to stop.
If the length of the previous track isn't the problem, then try listening to the tour at home in continuous playback mode. To do this, simply go to the start screen but instead of pressing Start Tour, select Continuous Play. You can then skip to the track before the problematic one and see if any audio plays. If audio does play, then please record your screen while out testing the walk. If no audio plays, let your editor know and they will check that the audio has been uploaded correctly.
Some tracks aren't starting when/where they should
The GPS tracking is accurate up to the size of the location marker. This means that it won't always start exactly where you want it to and where it starts can differ from device to device. If a track is playing a few meters too early or too late, it is best to ask yourself whether it affects the narration. In most cases, a couple of meters won't affect the narration. If it does affect the narration, then ask your editor to move the location marker 10 metres forward, 30 metres backwards or 5 metres to the left.
Tall buildings and narrow streets can also interfere with the GPS signal which can cause a delay in the audio playing. You can determine whether there is GPS interference by looking at the map on your screen when you're testing the walk. If the blue dot is bouncing around the screen, is lagging or where it is doesn't correspond with where you are, then the likelihood is that there was an issue with the GPS. In this case, it's best to record your screen and send your editor the recording. We'll then enlarge the trigger zone and potentially move the location marker slightly.
You receive our Lost Warning
Our Lost Warning is an audio notification letting the listener know that they've gone off track and are no longer following the route line. It should only play when they've gone off track but sometimes due to GPS interference, it can play even when they're following the route line perfectly. GPS interference can be caused by tall buildings, narrow streets or bad weather.
If, while testing the tour, you hear our Lost Warning then look at the map on your screen to determine whether where the blue dot is corresponds with your current location. If it doesn't correspond and it's a block or two from your actual location, then you're probably hearing our Lost Warning because of GPS interference. Send your editor a screen recording and a detailed description of what occurred as this will help us determine the best cause of action.
In some cases, we may determine that the best cause of action is to disable the Lost Warning. We'll usually do this for tours that go through tunnels or follow a narrow, walled pathway that only goes in one direction.
