A seer is a prophetic person who walks in a high level of spiritual discernment. Jonathan Welton can turn on and off his spiritual discernment at will. Read on to hear how Jonathan Welton walks in his anointing as a seer prophet.
1 Corinthians 12 talks about the nine gifts of the Spirit. Spiritual discernment is one of them.
There are four types of spirits that a seer can expect to discern — the Holy Spirit, heavenly spirits such as angels, the human spirit and the demonic.
Sometimes Jonathan sees angels. He has actually seen them crying when worship was cut off too soon in church.
Watch the video below to see Jonathan Welton's introduction to his seer anointing.
At one time during a particularly strong anointing in church, his own spirit rose and looked down to see his body on the floor. Three angels were holding him down.
Sometimes he will see words and objects. On one occasion he saw a collar around a person's neck with a spike poking into the neck. He asked the person about the location of the spike. That is where the person was feeling the pain.
On another occasion he saw spears coming out of a woman's body. Each spear had a negative word such as unforgiveness, resentment, fear or hatred on it. The spears were around 8 feet long and the woman told him that she actually feels pain when people are within about 8 feet of her.
He spent around an hour ministering to her and praying for the removal of each of those negative aspects from her life. She was healed.
1. Often a person cannot receive a physical healing until a sin such as unforgiveness, resentment, fear or hatred is taken care of.
2. Reckless words pierce like a sword. Prov. 12:18)
Sometimes Jonathan will see a body organ in the spirit realm. He will ask the person if they are having trouble with that organ. Then he knows how to pray for the person.
In one particular fascinating situation, a lady came up for healing. Jonathan could see in the spirit spears sticking in her body. Words such as fear, rejection and unforgiveness were written on the spears.

Hello everyone,
I would like to know whether, assuming Selberg's orthonormality conjecture, it would be possible to establish a "natural" correspondence between abelian varieties and functions belonging to the Selberg class S in such a way: 1) One associates to a simple abelian variety a primitive function of S, 2) One associates to an abelian variety of dimension d a function of S of degree d, 3) If V is an abelian variety isogenous to a product of abelian varieties of lower dimensions V_1, V_2,... V_n, then the function F of S related to V is the product of the F_i where F_i is the function of S related to V_i.
Thank you in advance.

This is an interesting question, though I know little about Selberg's class S. One comment though: when you say "natural correspondence between", it makes it sound like you mean a bijection. (That seems unlikely in this case, because there are uncountably many functions in Selberg's class and only countably many abelian varieties over number fields.) But anyway reading more carefully it looks like you are not suggesting a correspondence, but rather a mapping (functor?) from abelian varieties into Selberg's class. – Pete L. Clark Dec 13 '10 at 19:55
Indeed the word "correspondence" may not fit exactly what I have on my mind, but my English is far from being perfect (I'm French). I didn't know that there were uncountably many functions in S, would you have some reference? By the way, still assuming Selberg's orthonormality conjecture, do both abelian varieties and Selberg's class form semi-simple categories? If so, the concept of functor from abelian varieties into Selberg's class, as you suggested, may be the good way to express my idea. – Sylvain JULIEN Dec 13 '10 at 22:49
I think you need to assume the Hasse-Weil conjecture (an L-function of every abelian variety over ${\mathbb Q}$ is entire with the expected functional equation), so get this map; if I am not mistaken, this does not obviously follow just from Selberg orthonormality. Also, as Pete remarks, the image is not the whole Selberg class. I do not know about uncountability, but e.g. you won't get non self-dual $L$-functions, like those of Dirichlet characters of order $\gt 2$. And, even restricting to the self-dual ones, $L$-functions of all etale cohomology groups of all algebraic varieties... – Tim Dokchitser Dec 20 '10 at 1:22
...are supposed to be in the Selberg class. I am not an expert, but I thought there are motives (e.g. cohomology groups of some Calabi-Yaus?) that are not realizable inside abelian varieties because the weights are wrong. But otherwise that that, I think it is expected that there is a map like this. – Tim Dokchitser Dec 20 '10 at 1:23
Sorry, I know almost nothing about the Selberg Class and was using the wikipedia article on the subject as a reference. But worse than that, I wasn't reading it carefully. My thought was as simple as the following: if you scale an element of the Selberg class by a nonzero real number you get another element of the Selberg class. But actually this is not true: the Dirichlet series needs to be "normalized": $a_1 = 1$. So I retract my comment about uncountability! – Pete L. Clark Dec 20 '10 at 2:10
1 Answer 1
(Assuming the abelian varieties are supposed to be defined over $\mathbf{Q}$). For every dimension $d\geq 1$, select a cuspidal automorphic representation $f_d$ of $GL(d)$ over the rationals. Then map any simple $A$ of dimension $d$ to $L(f_d,s)$, and extend by multiplicativity using the simple factors of a general $A$ up to isogeny.
(Of course this question is utterly artificial; it seems reasonable to think that the only natural $L$-function associated to an abelian variety is its Hasse-Weil $L$-function, which has degree $2\dim(A)$.)

History of the Dan Beard Council
The Dan Beard Council has a long history of providing life-changing programs to the young men of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. There have been a lot changes since the foudnding of the Scounting movement way back in 1910, but the character values of the Scout Oath and Law remain the same. One-hundred plus years later, the Scouting movement is the largest organized movement in the world and the largest youth organization in the United States. The Dan Beard Council's story is one of mergers and changes, progress and growth, and outstanding individual that gave of themselves for the cause of instilling good values in youth. We invite you to learn more about the development of the Scouting movement in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area - a history that begins even before the Boy Scouts of America itself was founded.
Daniel Carter Beard
Daniel Carter Beard was born in 1850 in Cincinnati, Ohio. In his youth, his family moved to 322 E. 3rd Street in Covington, Kentucky where Beard loved exploring the banks of the nearby Ohio River and the Banklick Creek region south of Covington. It was during these explorations, that Beard developed his great love for nature and outdoors living. In 1882, Beard wrote The American Boy's Handy Book, a book which gives instructions and advice on animals, outdoors, knots, tents, fishing and more.
In 1905, Beard founded the "Sons of Daniel Boone," an outdoor education and exploration program for young men. Boys were organized into "forts," uniforms were based on the outfits of frontiersmen and in place of ranks or advancement, boys earned notches and top notches for achievements in a variety of interest areas. In 1910, Beard merged his organization (then known as the "Boy Pioneers of America") into the fledgling Boy Scouts of America and became one of the first National Commissioners, serving Scouting for 30 years. The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge spanning the Ohio River and connecting I-471 in northern Kentucky to I-71 in Ohio was named in his honor and dedicated in 1981.
Mergers and Past Councils
The Dan Beard Council as we know it today is actually a merger of four original Councils that underwent many changes in their time.
- The first to form was the Fort Hamilton Council, founded in 1913, just three years after the founding of the Boy Scouts of America. The Fort Hamilton Council was headquartered in Hamilton, Ohio and the territory of the Council was defined as "Butler County Ohio with the exception of Middletown and Lemon Townships."
- The Middletown Council was chartered in February 1917 in Middletown, Ohio. It began as a provisional (second-class) council, but became a first-class council in 1920.
- In 1918, the Covington Council was founded as a "first-class" or non-provisional Council serving the city of Covington, Kentucky exclusively.
- A fourth Council, the Cincinnati Area Council was formed to serve the city of Cincinnati though its inception date is not known.
- In January 1925, the Covington Council was re-organized as the Northern Kentucky Council, headquartered in Covington, Kentucky, and serving the counties of Boone, Campbell, and Kenton.
- Around the same time, 1926, the Fort Hamilton Council was renamed the Butler County Council. In February 1931, the counties of Bracken, Grant, and Pendleton were added to the Covington Council's territory. The following year, 1932, the counties of Mason, Owen, Robertson and Fleming were added to the Covington Council.
- Meanwhile, in August 1928, the following territory was added to the jurisdiction of the Middletown Council: Warren County, Ohio, and Lemon, Liberty, Madison, and Union Townships in Butler County.
- In 1932, Union Township in Butler County was transferred to the Butler County Council's jurisdiction from the Middletown Council. The territory of the Butler County Council was now Butler County, Ohio, with the exception of the city of Middletown and the Townships of Lemon, Liberty, and Madison.
- In 1933, the Middletown Council changed its name to the Mound Builders Area Council. A 1936 charter renewal application showed the Butler County Council's name had reverted back to the Fort Hamilton Council.
- In 1941, the Northern Kentucky Council moved its headquarters to Newport, Kentucky. In May 1944, Gallatin County was added to the territory jurisdiction. In September 1951, the counties of Bracken, Fleming, Mason, and Robertson were transferred to the jurisdiction of Scioto Area Council, #457, Portsmouth, Ohio.
- In 1952, the Northern Kentucky Council moved its headquarters back to Covington and changed to Dan Beard Council.
- In January 1955, Liberty Township in Butler County was added to the Fort Hamilton Council's territory from Mound Builders Council.
- In October 1956, the Dan Beard Council consolidated with the Cincinnati Area Council, Cincinnati, Ohio, to form the Dan Beard Council, #438, Cincinnati, Ohio. The territory of this consolidated council in 1956 was Boone, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen, and Pendleton counties in Kentucky; and Brown, Clermont, and Hamilton counties in Ohio.
- Effective January 1, 1959, Fort Hamilton Council, #448, Hamilton, Ohio, merged into Dan Beard Council, #438, Cincinnati, Ohio.
- Effective July 1, 1985, Mound Builders Area Council, #454, Middletown, Ohio, merged into Dan Beard Council, #438, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Dan Beard Council Today
Since the final merger of the Mound Builder's Area Council in 1985, the Dan Beard Council's territory has remained the same until this day. The territoy at present inlcudes Boone, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen, and Pendleton counties in Kentucky; and Brown, Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren counties in Ohio.
In 2009, the council moved it's headquarters from 2331 Victory Parkway in East Walnut Hills to the new Scout Achievement Center in Evendale, Ohio, ushering in a new century of Scouting for the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. Serving over 33,000 youth led by over 10,000 volunteers, the Dan Beard council has certainly grown from the early days of the Scouting movement and become a tradition of fun, achievement, and character development for families to enjoy for many years to come.

Thermal processing of foods results in proteins undergoing conformational changes, aggregation, and chemical modification notably with sugars via the Maillard reaction. This can impact their functional, nutritional, and allergenic properties. Native size-exclusion chromatography with online electrospray mass spectrometry (SEC-ESI-MS) was used to characterize processing-induced changes in milk proteins in a range of milk products. Milk products could be readily grouped into either pasteurized liquid milks, heavily processed milks, or milk powders by SEC behavior, particularly by aggregation of whey proteins by thermal processing. Maillard modification of all major milk proteins by lactose was observed by MS and was primarily present in milk powders. The method developed is a rapid tool for fingerprinting the processing history of milk and has potential as a quality control method for food ingredient manufacture. The method described here can profile milk protein oligomeric state, aggregation, and Maillard modification in a single shot, rapid analysis. © 2011 American Chemical Society.

Bone Tree (3.5e Environment)
From D&D Wiki
This environment is typically a forest, an evil, skeleton-filled, dangerous forest with flesh craving trees. The wood from these trees is highly sought after by necromancers, death-cults, sentient undead, and others who deal with death on a regular basis. Surprisingly, the tree loses all true-evil connotations once it is cut down and the stump is destroyed; this means that the wood can be used by anyone. See below for bone wood crafts.
 Bone Tree
A bone tree is the result of a seed being infused with necromantic energy either deliberately, as the result of some traumatic event, or from the seed of a greater bone tree. If it is deliberately made the creator must have a hefty supply of bones on hand to feed the tree as it grows. Most non-deliberate bone trees grow in soil that has been drenched in the blood from a massive battle where the bodies were left to rot and the bones eventually became part of the earth.
- Bone Seeds are hefty balls about the size of a coconut that sprout into a bone tree. Lesser bone tree status is achieved within 6 months of sprouting. Greater Bone tree status is achieved in 50 years
- Lesser: Undead within 30' gain a +2 Profane bonus vs turn attempts, corporeal undead gain fast healing 1. Animates anything dead within 50' into a skeleton within 1d4 hours. These effects do not stack no matter how many trees are together.
- Greater: Same as lesser plus the following - anything dead within 30' of the tree is animated as a skeleton in 1d4 rounds. Corporeal Undead within 50' gain a +1 Profane bonus to attack and damage when doing unarmed/natural attacks. Fast healing is increased to 5
Any species of tree can be a bone tree as long as it was affected by one of the processes described above. Some trees have no outward appearance betraying their status (the bones are around the roots or deep within the trunk), most have obvious bits of bone sticking from the bark, the most profane trees seem to be sheathed in a bony coating. Bone trees that grow from the seed of a greater bone tree resemble the original tree but with a malignant, evil twist to the orignal form.
 Bone Tree Skeletons
The first thing a skeleton does when created by a Bone Tree is tear any flesh left on its body and place it around the trees roots as fertilizer. Skeletons created by Bone Trees typically stay within 300' of the tree and retreat to the tree for healing if injured. When not defending the tree from a threat, the skeletons tend to the tree and maintain the grounds around it. Part of this maintenance is that the skeleton brings any fragments of bone it can find to the tree for integration into the tree. The trees skeletons are also responsible for the spread of the bone tree forest and they do this by taking bone seeds out 40 to 60 feet away from the tree for planting. Most trees only maintain a force of 10 to 20 skeletons, more useful skeletons are kept and other skeletons are integrated into the tree.
 Bone Wood Crafts
Some versions of the crepitus crutch are created using wood and bone from bone trees. Crepitus crutches made completely from materials gathered from a bone tree grant their created skeletons a +2 profane bonus versus turn attempts.
It is possible that the profane bone or wood from a Bone Wood Tree is useable in other crafted items. This would be at the DM's discretion.
 The Forest
A bone tree forest is a thing of beauty, the skeletal minions of the trees keep the grounds around their tree in pristine condition. The trees, while not truly intelligent, seem to be aware that a pleasant environment is more likely to attract good-aligned intelligent species. To this end, when the skeletons are not actively working they are directed to hide from sight however possible. They typically hide either in nearby large trees, ready to leap down on unsuspecting victims, or buried in the ground ready to rise up on unsuspecting victims.
You can generally assume that no tree is within 50 feet of each other and calculate how many trees can be in any one forest based on this assumption.

The Bittenut Hickory, Carya cordiformis, is also known as the Yellow-bud Hickory tree. The yellow bud makes it difficult to mistake for another species and combined with the alternate compound leaves and relatively large nuts, it is very distinctive This deciduous tree is found on moist, fertile soils in the east and central U.S. and is intolerant of shade. The fall color is often green to chartruese, but sometimes is a brilliant golden-yellow in excellent seasons.

Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation. Annual Report 2020.
Publikasjon: Monitoring of the atmospheric ozone layer and natural ultraviolet radiation. Annual Report 2020.
Serie: NILU rapport, 18/2021
Utgiver: NILU, Kjeller
This report summarizes the results from the Norwegian monitoring programme on stratospheric ozone and UV radiation measurements. The ozone layer has been measured at three locations since 1979: In Oslo/Kjeller, Tromsø/Andøya and Ny-Ålesund. The UV measurements started in 1995. The results show that there was a significant decrease in stratospheric ozone above Norway between 1979 and 1997. After that, the ozone layer stabilized at a level ~2% below pre-1980 level. 2020 was characterized by a strong, cold, and persistent Arctic stratospheric vortex, leading to extensive formation of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs, mother-of-pearl clouds) and chemical ozone destruction with very low ozone values and high UV levels in the exposed regions in the spring.

- Merino Air (90% new wool, 10% polyamide, barrel length 130 m / 50 g)
- per pillow case 150 g each in violet (col. 13) and anthracite (col. 3) or petrol (col. 15) and anthracite (col. 3)
- Knitting needles no.5.5
- washable pillow filling, 40 x 65 cm
In the rib pattern and with needles No. 5.5, 17 stitches and 25.5 rows result in 10 x 10 cm, in the cable pattern 24 stitches and 25.5 rows result in 9 x 10 cm.
Work 1 stitch left and 1 stitch alternately in rows. Knit all stitches in the wrong side. Work the cable pattern according to the knitting script. The numbers on the right indicate the rows, knit the stitches in the back rows as they appear. Knit over 20 stitches in width, increasing 4 stitches in the 3rd row as shown. In the height the 1st – 16th Work row 1x, then the 5th – 16th Repeat row continuously. (40 x 64 cm)
How to do it:
- Cast on 72 stitches in purple for the front. Divide the stitches in the back row like this: edge stitch, 25 stitches rib pattern (begin with 1 stitch on the left), 20 stitch cable pattern, 25 stitches rib pattern (start again with 1 stitch on the left), edge stitch. From the 3rd row there are 76 stitches on the needle due to increases. Cast off after 64 cm = 164 rows. Within the 24 stitches of the braid, decrease 4 stitches evenly by knitting together
- Cast on 71 stitches with anthracite for the back. Work 164 rows = 64 cm in a rib pattern without a braid. Cast off the stitches evenly.
- Moisten the parts, stretch them into shape and let them dry. Close the seams in the mattress stitch, insert the filling at the last seam and sew up.

So far I have been breaking the word into nara (नर) + Ayana (आयन) = home of nara (jiva). But lately I have realized I couldn't break it this way because to make it nArAyaNa (नारायण), nAra (नार) is needed instead of nara (नर). So what is the correct etymology of nArAyaNa? Was I correct anyhow?
 - NAra+ayana=Water+Home means who rest in water. – Triyugi Narayan Mani Apr 26 '18 at 6:21
 - Monier-Williams translates NAra as water. – Triyugi Narayan Mani Apr 26 '18 at 6:34
 - 1
 नार + आयन makes नारायण (न becomes ण with र as per Sanskrit rules). So Narayana = home of water, or one whose surroundings are water. – user14995 Apr 26 '18 at 6:41
I quote the following from the book Manusmriti:
He thought deeply, for he wished to emit various sorts of creatures from his own body; first he emitted the waters, and then he emitted his semen in them. That semen became the golden egg as bright as the sun with his thousand rays; Brahma himself, the grandfather of all people, was born in that egg. 'The waters are born of man' so it is said; indeed the waters are the children of the primordial man. And since they were his resting place in ancient time, there he is traditionally known as Narayana ('Resting on those born of man').
Narayana means resting on those born of man. Water is born of man. Therefore Narayana means resting on water.
The actual verse from Manusmriti:
Verse 1.10 [Meaning of the term 'Nārāyaṇa']
आपो नारा इति प्रोक्ता आपो वै नरसूनवः ।
ता यदस्यायनं पूर्वं तेन नारायणः स्मृतः ॥ १० ॥
āpo nārā iti proktā āpo vai narasūnavaḥ |
tā yadasyāyanaṃ pūrvaṃ tena nārāyaṇaḥ smṛtaḥ || 10 ||
Water is called 'nara,' — water being the offspring of nara; since water was the first thing created by (or, the original residence of) that being, he is, on that account, described as 'nārāyaṇa.' — (10)
Narayana consists of two words as Naara+Ayana. Naara means water and Ayana means home. It is mentioned in Mahabharata, Vana Parva, SECTION CLXXXVIII.
3 आपॊ नारा इति परॊक्ताः संज्ञा नाम कृतं मया
तेन नारायणॊ ऽसम्य उक्तॊ मम तद धययनं सदा
In ancient times I called the waters by the name of Nara; and because the waters have ever been my ayana or home, therefore have I been called Narayana (the water-homed).
There is website Digital Corpus of Sanskrit, that breaks the above shloka and give word by word meaning.
āpo nārā iti proktāḥ saṃjñānāma kṛtaṃ mayā / (3.1)
ap [n.p.m.] nāra [n.p.m.] iti [indecl.] pravac [PPP] saṃjñā [comp.]-nāman [n.s.n.] kṛ [PPP] mad [i.s.a.]

 _USER_. Mahabharata says: "Water was created by (the Rishi) Nara, and it formed his corpus; therefore do we hear it styled as Nara. And because it formed his Ayana (resting-place) therefore is he known as Narayana." – Triyugi Narayan Mani Apr 26 '18 at 8:53
You are correct -- in order to split nArayaNa, you cannot to nara + ayana. One of the correct split is na+ara+ayana. What doe this means? The word 'ara' means flaw (dOSha). When you have 'na' prefix it renders as 'absence of flaw'. Thus, the tatva which is 'ayana' (meaning aashraya/adobe) for flawlessness is called nArayaNa. Hence the philosophical doctrine of nArayaNa/vishNu being dOShavarjittaM (flawlessness) is core concept in Madhva's doctrine. There is a book by Sri.Jalahalli Sreenivasa Tirtha called 'nArayaNa shabdArtha' where some 76 different meanings for 'nArayaNa' word is expounded. Please read if you find a chance.

 - Nara means Lakshmi one who stays with Lakshmi always – Prasanna R Jan 19 '19 at 5:06
The Aryans didn't know the ocean where they started from - Central Asia. There are even some disputes whether "Samudra" means ocean. At any rate Narayana is absent from Rig Veda.
"ayana" doesn't mean resting place - the word for resting place is "ayatana".
"Narayana" is a Dravidian loan word into Sanskrit - the Dravidians were sea-faring from way back. Also in modern North India, "narayana" has changed to "narain" - showing that it is of a derivation that was strange to descendant of Vedic Aryans.
In the Tamil language, spoken in Tamil Nadu, the word tannir, which is tan (cool) plus nir (water) means cool water. In other Dravidian languages, spoken in south India, the word for water is nira, niru, or nir. But in Sanskrit, the language in which the early scriptures, the Vedas, were written, the words for water are apa or jala, which are completely different. Consequently, one might look to a Dravidian source for the origins of the story of Narayana on the waters.
Also in Tamil, the word ay means to lie down or to go to sleep, and the syllable an is a grammatical masculine ending; this gives the meaning for Narayana as "he lies down or sleeps on the waters."
It would seem to make sense that the south of India, bordered on all sides by the ocean, might be the source of this evocative story of Narayana, who rises from the waters to re-create the world, after the mahapralaya, or great destruction.

 People come up with such nonsense etymology all the time, go to quora and search for a person named "ravi sivan" who keeps coming up with such hair splitting etymology acc to him whole Sanskrit is derived from Tamil acc to him. Linguists are shook. – Anisha Apr 26 '18 at 15:45
 - Which words are Indo-European and which words are Dravidian can be usually discerned by how they sound and what happens to them in Hindi. "Hiranya" goes back to Indo-iranian bur "kashipu" is not Aryan and thats why modern day north-indians have to make a special effort to say "hiranyakashipu" instead of what sounds more natural to them "hiranyakashyap". – S K Apr 26 '18 at 15:52

 There are no Aryans and Dravidians. Dravida itself is Sanskrit word Dravya + vida (place surrounded by water, which is attribute). This was debunked _URL_ – The Destroyer Apr 26 '18 at 16:43
 - your citation is from 2009. Much water has flown under the bridge since then. It was fairly clear from looking at people like Raj Kapoor, most Pakistani Panjabis et al - but now with affluence, nutrition, exercise etc - that upper caste North Indians are of Caucasian origin is beyond doubt

Understanding AD RMS Across Forests
If you are deploying AD RMS in an environment with multiple Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forests, you need to determine what support might be required for users or groups who are outside of the forest in which AD RMS is deployed. AD RMS uses AD DS to identify users and distribution groups. When an organization's AD DS deployment includes multiple forests, AD RMS uses AD DS contact objects to obtain the identities of users and groups that are part of a different forest than the AD RMS cluster. The problem is that user or group objects from other forests do not typically have representative objects that are in the forest where AD RMS resides. If you intend to use AD RMS to restrict permissions to users or groups who are from other forests, you need to configure your Active Directory forest appropriately to allow group expansion to occur across forests.
You can implement group expansion support across forests for AD RMS in two ways:

If you are into saving money and making the most of natural resources – and who isn't? – then you may be overlooking some readily available and renewable options. In fact, you may be flushing one of them down the toilet or throwing the other one away when you clean your brushes and combs.
Yes, human urine and human hair can be surpassingly effective in your garden as deterrents to pests and as fertilizers.
Human Urine in the Garden
Contrary to what you might think, fresh human urine is clean and bacteria-free. It is only when urine is stored for more than 24 hours that it gets that familiar, unpleasant odor. Healthy human urine is about 95 percent water, 2.5 percent urea and 2.5 percent a mixture of hormones, minerals, enzymes and salts.
In his 1975 study "Urinalysis in Clinical Laboratory Practice," Dr. A. H. Free detailed some of the nutrients found in human urine, including creatinine nitrogen, urea nitrogen, uric acid nitrogen, amino nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, chloride, sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, inorganic phosphate and inorganic sulphate. Plants require all of these macronutrients.
The only real problem with the use of human urine as a fertilizer is the potential for excess nitrogen and inorganic salts. Soil conditions as well as rainfall and watering – in addition to the needs of your particular plants – should come into consideration when using human urine as a fertilizer, but diluting the urine usually takes care of the problem.
A ratio of one part urine with 10 parts water helps mitigate the excess nitrogen and reduces the chance of offensive odor as well.
Speaking of that odor, dilution will make the urine undetectable to the human nose, but garden pests will still be able to smell it. And that's a good thing. Rabbits, deer, groundhogs and skunks dislike the smell of human urine and tend to stay away from it.
Try spraying your urine solution around the perimeter of your garden to discourage these unwelcome guests. Another option is to place cotton balls soaked in the solution around the edges of your garden, perhaps in disposable containers if you're really squeamish. Human urine and hair (below) are particularly helpful if you have a garden that you can't monitor on a daily basis. In fact, many gardeners say urine and hair are the only deterrents that work.
A few words of advice:
- Use only healthy, fresh human urine
- Use a spray bottle or bucket that is clearly labeled and dedicated for this purpose
- Reapply after rainfall or irrigation
- Some gardeners believe that male urine works better than female urine as a deterrent for pests.
Human Hair in the Garden
Another renewable resource for your garden is on the top of your head. Human hair can deter animals and work as a fertilizer for your garden. Working as a natural mulch, human hair adds nutrients to the soil as it decomposes. You can sprinkle it throughout your garden.
Mississippi State University researchers found that human hair has significantly more nitrogen than manure, and therefore can serve as a natural replacement for some traditional fertilizers. In the study, researchers compared the use of human hair with commercial fertilizers on the health and productivity of lettuce, yellow poppy, wormwood and feverfew.
Plant yields were higher for the hair-fertilized plants when compared with the untreated control plants, overall, but were lower than for the lettuce and wormwood plants treated with commercial fertilizers. However, the yellow poppy saw higher yields with the hair treatment. Results did not differ with the feverfew.
The researchers concluded that since lettuce and wormwood are fast-growing plants, the time it takes hair to degrade and to release nutrients was a factor in the study results. Human hair, as a fertilizer, breaks down very slowly.
A report published in the journal Hort Technology found that human hair contains all the organic nutrients plants need to grow, but it takes a month or more for those nutrients to decompose into an inorganic form plants can use. The report suggested that hair is a good fertilizer for slow-growing plants such as basil, sage and certain ornamental shrubs. For quicker-growing plants, try mixing hair with other fertilizers for the first few weeks.
Another potential problem of using human hair in your garden is the effect of any styling chemicals on your plants. Be sure to use unwashed hair that is free from sprays, coloring or other additives.
Just as with human urine, human hair can serve as a deterrent to animals, especially snails, rodents, rabbits and deer. In addition to sprinkling hair in your garden, you can tie cheesecloth or nylon bags filled with unwashed hair onto posts or branches near your garden to deter animals.
Upon request, barbers and hair salon will save some of the snipped hair they sweep off their floors for you. Since it is unlikely this hair is chemical-free, it's best to use this hair as a deterrent instead of a fertilizer, however.
A few tips:
- Human hair will lose its scent within a week or two (less in rainy conditions) and will need to be replaced frequently.
- Save clippings from shaving to add to your hair collection.
- You can also mix dog and cat hair with human hair in your garden.
If you're struggling to keep pests out of your garden this year – or you're looking for a cheap fertilizer — then give these overlooked solutions a try.

"A project out of the UW uses new technology to monitor safe breast milk pasteurization with a mobile device. This app, called FoneAstra, was developed by UW computer science and engineering (CSE) graduate student Rohit Chaudhri in collaboration with the Seattle-based nongovernmental organization PATH and the UW Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE)."
"With a portable receipt printer, an android phone, and a temperature probe, hospital staff are now able to track the milk and regulate the temperature during pasteurization for around $700 instead of costing between $10,000 and $50,000."

Widget Workshop: A Mad Scientist's Laboratory is a hands-on science kit, for use on the computer and off. It was released in 1995 and is one of the more obscure Maxis products.
The game has two main modes. Much like in The Incredible Machine, users can solve a variety of puzzles using a limited selection of parts or tinker with the freeform mode. Widget Workshop focuses more on the freeform mode than the other game.
Unlike the Rube Goldberg nature of The Incredible Machine, the parts in Widget Workshop are not mechanical or physical. Items include display boxes, graphing windows, random number generators, and mathematical tools ranging from addition and subtraction to Boolean logic gates and trigonometric functions. The arrangement of the items on screen doesn't matter, but the connections do: a numerical constant box could be connected to a mathematical function; connected to a graph, which would display a horizontal line; input as a color value on an RGB monitor; or even used to trigger a sound effect.

text: A micro computer based multi-axis motion controller for servo control of d.c. motors for robotic applications is presented in this paper. The motion controller interface uses LM628 precision motion controller chips. The design presented in this paper facilitates control of four motors from a single PC board consisting of four LM628 chips. The motion controller board has provisions to issue commands to all or some chips simultaneously. The presence of LM628 chips relieves the host computer of the responsibility of feedback control and it is free to perform other tasks once the necessary commands are downloaded to the motion controller board. The motion controller chips perform the closed loop control to drive the motors to the desired positions and/or to run at the desired velocity. The motion controller board also has safety features to stop the motors in case of problems and provide self diagnostics. This motion controller is used to control a prototype Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) and a five axis robot. The performance of the motion controller board is observed to be satisfactory.

I recently had a query from an Architect who had some difficulty joining a slab to a wall and displaying the connection correctly. Specifically, this is the case for the edge of an outside slab.
They were working on Revit 2020, and we found a solution that would work to them (a floor sweep). This inspired me to investigate how Revit 2022 manages the situations, and to demonstrate how different people approach the problem.
In the first instance, I am using a structural beam and a floor slab each made of the same material.
In section, it can be seen how nicely the floor joins with the beam. The advantage of doing this is that the elements belong to the correct and proper categories.
The next scenario I tested was to use a wall instead of a beam.
Again, the result was satisfactory graphically, and it could be argued that the wall is the correct element to use for the edge concrete reinforcing.
In the last scenario, a novel solution is proposed. Use a floor slab edge sweep to generate the required shape.
As can be seen in the section, the result is satisfactory. However, it is arguable that the scheduling may be confusing to those that do not understand that the sweep is used for the edge beam/wall. Due care should be taken to tag these elements.
I recommend using either the beam or wall method, especially in Revit 2022. The elements join correctly, and they schedule in typical categories.

Attention to mixed methods studies research has increased in recent years, particularly among funding agencies that increasingly require a mixed methods approach for program evaluation. At the same time, researchers operating within large-scale, rapid-turnaround research projects are faced with the reality that collection and analysis of large amounts of qualitative data typically require an intense amount of project resources and time. However, practical examples of efficiently collecting and handling high-quality qualitative data within these studies are limited. More examples are also needed of procedures for integrating the qualitative and quantitative strands of a study from design to interpretation in ways that can facilitate efficiencies. This paper provides a detailed description of the strategies used to collect and analyze qualitative data in what the research team believed to be an efficient, high-quality way within a team-based mixed methods evaluation study of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) high-school education. The research team employed an iterative approach to qualitative data analysis that combined matrix analyses with Microsoft Excel and the qualitative data analysis software program ATLAS.ti. This approach yielded a number of practical benefits. Selected preliminary results illustrate how this approach can simplify analysis and facilitate data integration.

Write Anywhere
The Input Panel writing pad works well for a few sentences, but writing on the same line over and over is not how we really handwrite messages. The Write Anywhere feature essentially turns most of the tablet screen into a transparent writing pad. This is a powerful feature, but it can be confusing because it appears that you're writing directly on a document, as you can with Windows Journal and Microsoft Office XP with the Office XP Pack for Tablet PC. You're not. Write Anywhere is a version of the Input Panel writing pad and is still a method for text entry when the keyboard is not accessible or convenient.
Turning On Write Anywhere
To use Write Anywhere, first open the document in which you want to place text. Next open Input Panel, and tap the Write Anywhere
button on the title bar. The Write Anywhere button has an image of a pen on it. If the Write Anywhere button is not visible, tap the Tools menu on Input Panel and tap Options to display the Options dialog box. On the Write Anywhere tab, check the Show The Turn On Write Anywhere Button On The Title Bar check box and tap OK.
When you tap the Write Anywhere button, a Write Anywhere information dialog box appears. Tap OK, and the Write Anywhere boundaries appear on the screen as shown in Figure 2-13, where Write Anywhere is open on top of a new message in Microsoft Outlook Express.
There are three important items to note in this figure:
Using Write Anywhere
Once the writing area transparency is open and the cursor is in place, you can begin writing. As shown in Figure 2-14, wherever you start writing, a black line appears to help you write horizontally across the screen. You do not need to write on the line, but the recognition is better if your handwriting does not wander all over the screen. As with the writing pad on Input Panel, there's an adjustable delay before the ink disappears and the text appears in the document.
Figure 2-14 Tap once to place the cursor where you want text to go, and then start writing anywhere on the writing area transparency.
Figure 2-14. Tap once to place the cursor where you want text to go, and then start writing anywhere on the writing area transparency.
When you're using the Input Panel writing pad, you must specify each Enter, extra Space, and Tab. If you do not, the system will put all your text together no matter how you organize it on the screen. You can send these commands using the same gestures as with the writing pad, but the entire writing area transparency must be clear of ink. Because the ink tends to persist longer in Write Anywhere, this isn't always convenient. Another method is to open the quick keys pad from the Input Panel title bar while Write Anywhere is still open. You can tap an Enter, Tab, or other key on the quick keys pad without waiting for the ink to disappear; however, as soon as you tap a key all the ink currently in the writing area will be immediately converted to text. Figure 2-15 and Figure 2-16 show how the system would ignore text organization (new lines, tabs, and so on) and how it could be corrected.
TIP
Write Anywhere also understands the scratch-out gesture to remove ink before it is converted to text.
Figure 2-15 Write Anywhere allows you to write freely over the screen, but it does not interpret the organization of your text. Figure 2-16 shows how this text is interpreted.
Figure 2-15. Write Anywhere allows you to write freely over the screen, but it does not interpret the organization of your text. Figure 2-16 shows how this text is interpreted.
Selecting an entire paragraph with Write Anywhere open is simple if you start the selection on the edge of the screen, outside the writing area. Press down with the pen at the beginning of the selection, and drag the pen over the text you want selected. To select text underneath the transparency, press and hold on a point under the writing transparency. The transparency temporarily vanishes and remains absent as long as you keep holding. Without lifting the pen, you may now drag the pen over the text you want selected. As soon as you lift the pen the transparency reappears, but the text remains selected. You must either disable the Press And Hold For Right-Click option or set a long pause before the shortcut menu appears for this to work; otherwise, you'll get a shortcut menu instead of a selection. If you use the Press And Hold For Right-Click option, it's usually easier to close Write Anywhere for a moment, select the text you want, open Write Anywhere again, and continue. Because the writing transparency opens and closes instantly, this hardly disturbs your work.
Figure 2-16 You may edit and correct text by using gestures, such as the Enter gesture shown here, by tapping keys on the quick key pad, or even by switching to the Input Panel on-screen keyboard while Write Anywhere is open.
Figure 2-16. You may edit and correct text by using gestures, such as the Enter gesture shown here, by tapping keys on the quick key pad, or even by switching to the Input Panel on-screen keyboard while Write Anywhere is open.
When you reach the bottom of the writing area, you may continue writing at the top in the empty space, as shown in Figure 2-17. The text will enter your document in the same order you wrote it, regardless of where you wrote it or what is below the transparency. The text at the top of Figure 2-17 was written last and will appear at the end of the sentence.
Figure 2-17 Text will be entered into your document in the same order you wrote it, regardless of where you wrote it or what is below the transparency.
Figure 2-17. Text will be entered into your document in the same order you wrote it, regardless of where you wrote it or what is below the transparency.
Write Anywhere is a tool you will probably either love or hate. If you use Write Anywhere regularly, here are a few tips to keep things running smoothly:

Excavations in southern Italy have unearthed terracotta bull heads and a figurine of the Greek god Eros riding a dolphin.
The discoveries shine new light on the religious life and rituals of an ancient city, Italian culture ministry officials said.
Paestum, famed for its three massive Doric-columned temples, is near the archaeological site of Pompeii, but further down the Almalfi coast.
Excavations yielded several small terracotta figurines in the first months of resuming work, the
Archaeologists found seven bull heads found around a temple altar as if placed there on the ground in a gesture of devotion.
Limited excavations began at the temples in the 1950s, and the ministry believes more treasures can be found in the area.
Ancient Romans controlled the city by around 275 BC, renaming it Paestum from the Greek "Poseidonia", in what had before been Magna Graecia.

Connect to your data
To be effective as a data science tool, RapidMiner Studio has to first connect to your data.
 - If the data is in a file on your computer, RapidMiner Studio has to read the file format.
 - If the data is in a database, RapidMiner Studio has to connect to that database, and know the language of that database (SQL / NoSQL).
 - If the data is in the cloud, RapidMiner Studio has to connect to the cloud service and know its API.
 - If the data is imported from or exported to another software tool, for example Python or Tableau, RapidMiner Studio has to know about that tool.
 - If the connection is via a proxy or a self-signed SSL certificate, RapidMiner Studio has to navigate that hurdle.
The good news is that RapidMiner Studio supports a wide range of file formats, databases, cloud services, and other software tools, either natively or via extensions.
Connection Objects
The concept of a connection object was introduced in RapidMiner Studio 9.3.
You can convert your legacy connections into connection objects.
When the connection to your data occurs over a network, you must first create a connection object. A connection object enables the connection to a database, cloud, or email service. All connection objects are stored in a repository, in the Connection Folder Icon Connections subfolder.
From now on, we'll simply call them connections, remembering however that they have similarities to other objects in the repository. You can, for example, drag a database connection into the Process Panel to Retrieve it, before connecting the output to the Read Database Operator.
To create a connection, right-click on the Connection Folder Icon Connections folder, and select Create Connection Icon Create Connection. The Create connection dialog opens, and you can configure your connection. If you're connecting to an SQL database:
 1. Choose the Connection Type (DB Connection Icon Database), Repository (where the connection will be stored) and Connection Name.
 2. Press Create Connection Icon Create and the Edit Connection dialog opens.
 3. Under the Setup tab, select the Database System and fill in User, Password, Host, Port, and (optionally) the Database name.
 4. Press Test Connection Icon Test connection. Once it's working, Save IconSave the connection. The connection will appear in the Connection Folder Icon Connections subfolder of the repository you selected in step (1).
You can view the connection details at any time by double-clicking on the connection in the Repository Panel, or by right-clicking on the connection and choosing Open Icon Open or Open Icon Edit.
Injected parameters: sharing connections
Connection objects can be shared.
Suppose that a group of users has access to the same database, and they collaborate on RapidMiner Server. Can they share the database connection, without sharing their usernames and passwords? The answer is yes!
The solution is to build the connection as a template, where all the common parameters are pre-filled, and all the parameters unique to each user are injected. The values of the injected parameters are not stored in the connection object, but retrieved from an external source every time the connection is used. Possible external sources include macros and secure storage on RapidMiner Server.
To create a connection in a RapidMiner Server repository, or to copy a connection to a RapidMiner Server repository, a user has to belong to the connection manager group. See Sharing and permissions.
In outline, assuming the database credentials will be securely stored on RapidMiner Server, the whole process of using a connection template might proceed as follows. We'll call the user with the connection manager role the admin.
 1. Within RapidMiner Studio, the admin creates a connection in a RapidMiner Server repository. While it's possible to create a connection in a local repository, that connection will only provide macros as an injection source.
 2. While editing the connection, the admin presses the button Inject Parameters Icon Set injected parameters and selects the parameters whose values will be left blank until later (e.g. User and Password). The admin must also choose RapidMiner Server as the source of the injected values.
 3. To set the injected values, a user must connect to the web interface of RapidMiner Server. Either click the link displayed in the Edit connection dialog
 or connect directly to the web interface, then navigate to Repository > Connections, and identify the connection by name. A warning says: This connection has missing values. The user clicks the link, fills in his or her own username and password, and presses the button Save in RapidMiner Server, where the credentials are securely saved. Step (3) needs to be repeated by each individual user.
For more details, read the RapidMiner Server documentation Create connections and Usage and injection.
Macros as a source of injected parameters
Within RapidMiner Studio, using values from process macros for your connection settings is immediately possible. When editing a connection, press Inject Parameters Icon Set injected parameters and choose which parameters should get values from macros. The macro name then needs to match the parameter key to be able to inject that value. The parameter key can be found in the information next to the parameter.
Configuration for the macro source is optional. Without configuring a prefix, the macro name has to match the parameter key. If the prefix for the configuration is given, the macro name has to match the prefix followed by an underscore (_), ending with the parameter key. For the prefix myprefix the parameter key user would require the macro name
The macro that should be used will be shown when setting injection, as well as in the view and edit dialogs themselves.
Use this for your macro to properly inject it into the connection.
Placeholders can be used inside any configuration parameter's value to reference other parameters. It is possible to concatenate placeholders and free text. Nesting of placeholders is not supported.
Since the syntax for placeholders is the same as for macros, it is important to make the context clear:
 - The context for macros is processes.
 - The context for placeholders is connections.
A placeholder can access parameter values from the current tab as well as from any other tab. To find out the key of a field you want to reference via placeholder in a different field, look at the information tooltip of the original field. The Full key is what you're looking for:
To use this placeholder in another field, simply reference the full key in the other field by surrounding it with a percentage sign (%) and curly brackets ({}), like this:
If a placeholder cannot be resolved, it is simply replaced with an empty string, but still counts as an injected value and will not fail the process execution.
The JDBC based database connections use this mechanism to create the URL from the parameters.
Without parameter information the URL consists of several placeholders and a double colon. By setting the parameters these values are replaced.
Use the placeholder system exactly like this to configure dynamic parameter values.

altitude performance characteristics of tail-pipe burner with variable-area exhaust nozzleAn investigation was conducted in the NACA Lewis altitude wind tunnel to determine effect of altitude and flight Mach number on performance of tail-pipe burner equipped with variable-area exhaust nozzle and installed on full-scale turbojet engine. At a given flight Mach number, with constant exhaust-gas and turbine-outlet temperatures, increasing altitude lowered the tail-pipe combustion efficiency and raised the specific fuel consumption while the augmented thrust ratio remained approximately constant. At a given altitude, increasing flight Mach number raised the combustion efficiency and augmented thrust ratio and lowered the specific fuel consumption.

Mystery bird: Madagascar blue vanga, Cyanolanius madagascarinus
This striking mystery bird is unique amongst its family because it is the only one NOT endemic to Madagascar (includes audio)
Madagascar blue vanga, Cyanolanius madagascarinus (protonym, Loxia madagascarina), Linnaeus, 1766, photographed at Zombitse National Park, Atsimo-Andrefana region, Madagascar.

Question: After yesterday's mystery bird (which remains a mystery to all of us, apparently!), I've got blue plumage colour on my mind once again, so of course, I can't resist sharing this beauty with you. This Madagascan mystery bird is part of a small taxonomic family we've not seen here before. This species is unique amongst its family members. Can you tell me why? Can you identify this bird's taxonomic family and species?
Response: This is an adult male Madagascar blue vanga, Cyanolanius madagascarinus. This bird is a member of a small shrike-like family, Vangidae. Although we do know that the vangas are songbirds, we're not sure about the specifics of their relationships with other passerines, and indeed, in some cases, we're not entirely sure which birds are vangas.
In general, vangas are smallto medium-sized birds and they have strong similarities in their skull shape and bony palate structure. However, the vangas are quite variable and, having evolved from a single founding population, they are a lovely example of adaptive radiation. The vangas diversified to occupy the various niches on Madagascar that are typically occupied by other bird families in other parts of the world. For example, some vangids resemble shrikes whilst others look a lot like babblers or flycatchers. Further, some studies indicate that several Old World babbler and flycatcher species on Madagascar are actually vangas [doi:10.1006/mpev._PHONE_ & doi:10.1111/j.0014-3820.2001.tb00639.x].
Madagascar blue vangas are unique amongst their relatives (as we currently know this family) because they are the only vanga that is not a Madagascar endemic; a population is also found on the Comoro Islands. Also, unlike their relatives, which have black, brown or grey upperparts, the blue vanga is, well, blue on top. Blue vangas are also distinct from all but one of their relatives because they occasionally supplement their carnivorous diet with fruit.
The blue vanga is fairly common and widespread in woodlands on Madagascar and on the Comoros islands and Mayotte.
Embedded below is a 1 minute recording of a pair of blue vangas responding to playback, courtesy of Xeno-Canto:
(recorded on 25 November 2010 by Nick Athanas at Mananara Lodge, Anjozorobe, Madagascar [audio link]).
Oh, and speaking of relationships; I admit I am very curious to know why Linnaeus originally placed this species into the genus Loxia (the crossbills). Does anyone know what his reasoning was?

5 Accounting Controls for QuickBooks
Here's a quick summary of five powerful techniques for minimizing the problems that crop up when you've got people with varying levels of skill and trustworthiness working with your QuickBooks data:
Regularly compare physical inventory counts with inventory accounting records. One thing you can do, both to minimize your inventory losses and to maintain accurate accounting records, is regularly compare physical counts of your inventory with what your accounting records show. Frequently counting the most valuable and easiest-to-steal items accomplishes two things:
Inventory shrinkage is quickly identified.
The business owner can minimize inventory shrinkage by identifying the type of inventory that's most often stolen or even when inventory is most often stolen.
Reconcile bank accounts. Another thing business owners should do, in my opinion, is reconcile their own bank accounts. Often, employee theft by accounting personnel occurs as employees figure out how to write checks on the company's bank account that the owner doesn't see. One sure way to find a fictitious and fraudulent transaction is to have the owner reconcile the bank statement. Additionally, any flaky, suspicious transactions tend to become obvious when the business owner looks closely at checks.
Segregate accounting from physical custody where possible. In a small business, it's not always easy to separate the accounting for some activity from the physical custody or physical responsibility for that activity. For example, it's tough to segregate the inventory accounting from physical custody or access to that inventory. A store clerk, for example, may be able to steal cigarettes easily and also adjust inventory records through cash-register sales for cigarettes. Nevertheless, wherever you can segregate physical custody from accounting, built-in error checking occurs. The person doing the accounting indirectly checks on the physical custodians' caretaking of the asset.
Train employees in the use of QuickBooks. You should train employees to use QuickBooks if you have a business of any size, for two basic reasons: Someone who knows how to use QuickBooks is less likely to make inadvertent errors, and messy accounting records camouflage employee theft.
Close your QuickBooks file. Here's a final technique worth considering. Though you aren't required to close the fiscal year in QuickBooks, you may still want to do this in order to maintain the integrity of your data. Here's how: Choose the Edit→Preferences command, select Accounting, select the Company Preferences tab, and then click the Closing Date Set Date/Password button. When QuickBooks prompts you, specify a closing date and password. After you provide this information, QuickBooks prohibits or limits users from changing or entering transactions dated before the closing date.


Real Estate Alert - "Understanding Your South Carolina Property Tax Bill and Deciding Whether to Appeal"
Understanding South Carolina's real and personal property tax structure involves a trip back to your high school algebra class. Essentially, the amount of tax you owe depends upon three variables:
 (i) your taxable value
 (ii) your assessment ratio
 (iii) your millage rate
The equation is as follows:
Tax = Taxable x Assessment x Millage
 Value Ratio Rate
When deciding whether or not to appeal, or how to otherwise lower your property taxes, the first step is to determine which of these three variables, if any, could be lowered in your favor.
To properly make such a determination, you must consider the following questions...

The $f$-localization I mean is the one described and studied in detail in the book by E. D. Farjoun; $L_f$ is a homotopy idempotent functor which associates to each space $X$ an $f$-equivalence $X\to L_f(X)$ where $L_f(X)$ is $f$-local.
$f$-localization has a kind of uniqueness: if $F$ is some other coaugmented functor with the property that $F(X)$ is $f$-local for every $X$ (I'm happy to assume that $F = L_g$ for some map $g$), then there is a commutative square of functors and natural transformations, which I don't know how to draw here. The square would show that the composites $$ id \xrightarrow{\iota} L_f \xrightarrow{L_f(j)} L_f\circ F \qquad \mathrm{and} \qquad id \xrightarrow{j} F \xrightarrow{\iota_F} L_f \circ F $$ are equal. And $\iota_F$ is a weak equivalence for every space $X$; thus $F$ factors through $L_f$ 'up to weak equivalence'.
My Question: Suppose $X\to Y$ is an $f$-equivalence; then $L_f(X) \to L_f(Y)$ is a weak equivalence; does it follow that $(L_f\circ F)(X) \to (L_f\circ F)(Y)$ is a weak equivalence?

If you allow $F$ to be a continuous functor, which it appears you do since localization functors are continuous, then I believe this is true. Corollary 2.1.1 in the following paper seems to be useful:
E.Dror Farjoun, Higher homotopies of natural constructions, Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, Volume 108, Issue 1, 8 April 1996, Pages 23-34, ISSN 0022-4049,
It says that if $\phi: X \rightarrow Y$ is a map and $G$ is a continuous, coaugmented, idempotent functor such that for all spaces $A$, the induced map $map(Y,GA) \rightarrow map(X,GA)$ is a weak equivalence, then $G(\phi): G(X) \rightarrow G(Y)$ is a weak equivalence. Letting $G = L_f \circ F$ should give the result you want. The induced map will be an equivalence since $\phi$ is an $f$-equivalence and $L_f\circ F(A)$ is $f$-local for all spaces $A$.
share|improve this answer
I think that in general the answer is 'no', since your functor $F$ need not preserve $f$-equivalences. Take $f\colon \ast \to \ast$ to be the identity map or any other weak equivalence, then the $f$-local objects are the fibrant objects and $L_f$ is equivalent to the fibrant replacement is simplicial sets. Now take any functor $F$ which does not preserve weak equivalences and takes fibrant values. For example, $F(-) = \mathrm{fib}(\mathrm{hom}(A,-))$, where $\mathrm{fib}$ is a fibrant replacement functor and $A$ a non-trivial space. Then $L_f\circ F$ does not preserve weak equivalences (which are also $f$-equivalences) of non-fibrant simplicial sets.
I think that the condition that you need to assume about $F$ is that $F$ preserves $f$-equivalences.
share|improve this answer
I really like this example. I never considered this $F$ before, but it does exactly what you want. I also agree that in situations like this the condition you suggest sounds right – David White May 1 '13 at 15:46
An $f$-equivalence is a map $\alpha:X\to Y$ which induces a weak equivalence $\alpha^\ast:map_\ast(Y,Q)\to map_\ast (X,Q)$ for all $f$-local spaces $Q$; equivalently, $L_f(\alpha)$ is a weak equivalence. Therefore the assumption implies that every $g$-local space is $f$-local, so an $f$-equivalence $\alpha$ is also a $g$-equivalence; so $L_g(\alpha)$ is a weak equivalence.
share|improve this answer
So this answers it for $F=L_g$, and Matthew Sartwell's answer is slightly more general, but Boris shows you can't go more general than that. Interesting. +1 to everyone – David White May 1 '13 at 15:36

Time Duration
Contents[Show]
A time duration is the difference between two time points. It will be measured in time ticks.
Time duration
Time duration is a class template. std::chrono::duration consists of the type of the tick Rep and the length of a tick Period.
template<
 class Rep,
 class Period = std::ratio<1>
> class duration;

The tick length is by default std::ratio<1> std::ratio<1> stands for a second and can also be written as std::ratio<1,1>. Therefore, it's quite easy. std::ratio<60> is a minute and std::ratio<1,1000> a millisecond. When Rep is a floating point number, you can use it to hold fractions of time ticks.
C++11 predefines the most important time durations:
typedef duration<signed int, nano> nanoseconds;
typedef duration<signed int, micro> microseconds;
typedef duration<signed int, milli> milliseconds;
typedef duration<signed int> seconds;
typedef duration<signed int, ratio< 60>> minutes;
typedef duration<signed int, ratio<3600>> hours;

How much time has passed since the UNIX epoch (1.1.1970)? Thanks to type aliases for the different time durations I can answer the question quite easily. For simplicity reasons I ignore leap years and assume that a year has 365 days.

 timeSinceEpoch
It's quite convenient to calculate with time durations.
Calculations with time durations
The time durations support basic mathematics. The means in the case of multiplication or division that you can multiply or divide a time duration by a number. Of course you can compare time durations. I explicitly want to emphasis: all this calculations and comparisons respect the units of the time durations.
It gets even better with C++14 because C++14 has a bunch of predefined time literals.

 constexpr auto shortBreak= 300s;
 constexpr auto longBreak= 0.25h;
 constexpr auto schoolWay= 15min;
 constexpr auto homework= 2h;
 constexpr auto schoolDayInSeconds= 2*schoolWay + 6 * schoolHour + 4 * shortBreak + longBreak + homework;
 std::cout << "School day in seconds: " << schoolDayInSeconds.count() << std::endl;
 std::chrono::duration<double,std::ratio<3600>> schoolDayInHours = schoolDayInSeconds;
 std::chrono::duration<double,std::ratio<60>> schoolDayInMinutes = schoolDayInSeconds;
 std::chrono::duration<double,std::ratio<1,1000>> schoolDayInMilliseconds= schoolDayInSeconds;
 std::cout << "School day in hours: " << schoolDayInHours.count() << std::endl;
 std::cout << "School day in minutes: " << schoolDayInMinutes.count() << std::endl;
 std::cout << "School day in milliseconds: " << schoolDayInMilliseconds.count() << std::endl;
 std::cout << std::endl;
}

The time literals are constant expressions therefore they can be evaluated at compile time. I have time durations for a German school hour (line 12), for a short break (line 14), for a long break (line 15), for his way to the school (line 17), and his homework (line 18). The result of the calculation schoolDaysInSeconds (line 20) is available at compile time.
schoolDay
Impressed? I'm not. His daily duty is only about 7 1/2 hour.
What's next?
The accuracy of the time tick is given by the used clock. In C++ we have the clocks std::chrono::system_clock, std::chrono::steady_clock, and std::chrono::high_resolution_clock. The three clocks will be the topic of my next post.

Reading File Content
by Martin Seiler (modified: 2007 Feb 26)
In this tutorial I'll briefly explain how one can load the content of an ASCII file into a single string.
The deferred class FILE cannot be used directly as it is deferred.
The descendant PLAIN_TEXT_FILE is what we're actually looking for.
Basic steps
The basic steps are the following: local l_file: PLAIN_TEXT_FILE l_content: STRING do create l_file.make_create_read_write (a_path) l_file.read_stream (l_file.count) l_content := l_file.last_string.twin l_file.close end
Let's have a brief look at each single line:
Opening a file
We instantiate the class and open the file directly for read. Doing it like that has the advantage that it is just one line. create l_file.make_create_read_write (a_path) Note: It might happen that the postcondition is violated if you don't have the permission to do the file operation for the path specified. We will later take this into account.
Reading from a file
l_file.read_stream (l_file.count) There are several other read methods available. For example you can use read_line to read a single line of a given file. l_content := l_file.last_string.twin As the command/query separation principle is implemented, the result is always stored in last_.... Reading an integer from an ASCII file would look the following:\ l_file.read_integer l_integer := l_file.last_integer Note that we perform a call to twin for instances of type string as there is only one buffer per file object and it is overwritten by the next read command. If we do a twin we make sure that we don't have any surprising side effects later. So in general I recommend to do it for all non expanded types.
Closing a file
l_file.close Last but not least we close the file to free system resources. However, if we simply set the reference to Void this will do job as well, as the garbage collector calls dispose before he collects the object, which in turn calls close if the file is still open.
Better error handling
The creation feature we used so far initializes the object and tries to open the file right away. If the files does not exist an attempt to create it will be made. Which may possibly fail if you don't have the proper rights to do so. Still, the file will be empty and this is maybe not what the original intention of the programmer was.
To get more control over the whole process I recommend a different, more sophisticated way of achieving the same: local l_file: PLAIN_TEXT_FILE do create l_file.make (a_path) -- We perform several checks until we make a real attempt to open the file. if not l_file.exists then print ("error: '" + a_path + "' does not exist%N") else if not l_file.is_readable then print ("error: '" + a_path + "' is not readable.%N") else l_file.open_read l_file.read_stream (l_file.count) Result := l_file.last_string.twin l_file.close end end end This feature checks several possible error conditions and prints error messages. The pattern will be the same in most cases, but the error handling will most likely depend on you application. So you could write a feature suited for your application with proper error handling and then simply reuse that feature whenever you need to open a file. If you don't want to copy paste the code all the time and just change the two error handling lines a more fine tuned class could implement the observer pattern implemented by using agents.


Printing memory
So I want to create a program that will print out every memory location and the value located on that address. How would I do this?
I'm well aware I need to use pointers, I was thinking maybe a concactinated loop that creates/modifies a string and then casting it to an integer that I can make equal to another integer and then cout<<&integer;.
Any ideas/thoughts/concerns?
You may have asked something similar @ the MSDN forums and I may have already answer you, but just in case here it goes:
Google up "virtual address space" to learn why you cannot access the memory contents of other executables running. Having said that, with sufficient privileges you can use ReadProcessMemory() to read specific locations of virtual memory in other executables. Google that up too.
If you do not want to read other processes' memory, then you can just attempt to read each memory address in the process address space. Some you'll be able to read, some you won't. You'll probably required structure error handling to avoid bad crashes. Google that up too.
I don't go into more detail because the topics involved are extensive. Best if you read about the subject from more authoritative sources.

How to Manage Energy Usage with Ethernet I/O – Metering Project – _PHONE_
Metering Project – Managing Energy Usage with Ethernet I/O
Defining the Problem:
The university power plant produces both electricity and steam for the campus. The chilled water and steam condensate need to be monitored and recorded by totalizing the pulsed outputs from; magnetic, positive displacement, and vortex flowmeters. The volumetric flow rate, together with the liquid heat loss from the steam-to-heat transfer process, is used in steam cost calculations to better manage the energy demand across the campus.
System Requirements:
 - The university requires consistent installations that can be duplicated across the campus.
 - Communication with the data historian software, InStep eDNA, via Modbus TCP/IP over the campus Ethernet network.
How to Manage Energy Usage with Ethernet I/O - Metering Project App Note
Implementing the Solution:
 1. Connect a PC to the 989EN-4016, open an internet browser, then assign the network parameters, followed by configuring the discrete inputs as counters to totalize the flowmeter pulse outputs.
 2. Simulate input pulses and observe the count increase in the 989EN-4016 counter test page.
 3. The eDNA software periodically reads the current count value of each input from the 30,000 Modbus input registers; or the 43,000 holding registers. Two registers of 16-bit unsigned integer values yield a 32 bit totalized count value.
Featured Products:
Notes: 989EN-4016 modules have 16 discrete I/O where each channel can be an input or an output. Optionally, this model allows the first 8 channels to be used as non-volatile pulse counters; with the remaining 8 channels available as local output alarms for their associated input counters.
Why Acromag:
The 989EN-4016 module is an affordable, versatile discrete and counter/alarm remote I/O. With fast installations and Class 1 Div 2 ratings, duplication across the campus was easily achieved. Additionally, the campus data historian software was quickly programmed to communicate with the 989EN solution.
