solution to come unstuck without really digging deep into the compiler's code generation.
As noted, this problem appears to be resolved in Delphi XE5 or possibly earlier; however it is unclear if the root cause of the problem has been addressed, or we just got lucky. The issue has been reported as RSP-10255.
How to render combining marks consistently across platforms: a long story
I read today Richard Ishida's notes on his experiences displaying combining characters in a consistent way across browsers, and recalled with fondness the pain we have experienced with this, both in browsers and in apps, over many years.
When we design a keyboard layout for Keyman, we will often want to show a diacritic mark or combining character from a complex script by itself on a key cap, or show the mark with a substituted placeholder symbol that is distinct from the script itself, to show how the combining character fits with the base letter.
A commonly used placeholder symbol is ◌ U+25CC DOTTED CIRCLE, but there are others that are preferred for some languages.
U+25CC
I show below three attempts at presenting the combining marks on our Open Source KeymanWeb platform keyboards, running in Chrome on Windows 8.1. The first shows a Lao keyboard, with each of the combining characters presented around a base U+0E81 LAO LETTER KO on the keyboard. As you can see, this is not wonderful because the Ko Kai letter adds noise and makes it hard to pick out the combining characters.

The second keyboard is Thai. This relies on the system renderer and does not include a base character for the combining characters. In this case, that means that no base letter is shown and the marks show reasonably clearly. Unfortunately, this is not reliable across platforms, browsers or languages — it happens to work okay for Thai in Chrome on Windows 8.1. On some other systems, the combining marks are shifted to the far left of the key cap, or even off the key entirely.

The third keyboard example is for Gujarati, and again relies on the system renderer and does not include a base character for the combining characters. Now this time you see that the Uniscribe renderer on Windows 8.1 automatically inserts a dotted circle glyph — this may or may not be the same as the U+25CC character. Again, this behaviour differs across platforms.

The Story Today
The story today is pretty unfortunate. Display of isolated combining marks is not implemented at all consistently across the plethora of rendering engines, operating systems, browsers and fonts. Some systems will automatically insert a placeholder glyph if no conforming base character is found prior to the combining character. Others don't. What do I mean by a conforming base character? Well, that's up to the implementation of the renderer. Some renderers will treat any base character that is not in the same script as the combining character as part of a separate run, and won't attempt to combine. Others will combine with some outside-script characters but not others.
Things get even worse when working with multiple combining characters without a base character. Unless this has been specifically handled in the renderer, you will typically see poor layout or rendering of the characters that may not be representative of how they form above normal base characters.
The image below shows examples of the marks U+0EB5 LAO VOWEL SIGN II, U+0EB5 LAO VOWEL SIGN II + U+0EC8 LAO TONE MAI EK and U+0EB3 LAO VOWEL SIGN AM, rendered with and without U+25CC DOTTED CIRCLE, on various systems. A more comprehensive set of examples is included later in this blog.
Sample Lao combining character renders
Sample Lao combining characters rendered
You can see, in the image above, examples of:
 - Repeated dotted circles
 - Diacritics that don't align over their base character correctly
 - Rendering errors leading to tofu
 - Diacritics that don't stack
 - Marks that overlap incorrectly
None of the basic text-only solutions work consistently across all systems.
It's like stuffing a live octopus into a box
Attempting to address the problem is not fun. Fixing the problem on one browser/renderer/OS/font system invariably creates a new problem on another system. It's like stuffing a live octopus into a box: each time you manage to get one of those pesky tentacles into the box, two others have snuck out the other side.
A Solution
We worked hard to find a consistent cross-browser solution. We started with Lao, but we believe that the same principles can be applied to other scripts. The solution relies on web fonts, but falls back to an acceptable solution in the shrinking subset of systems where web fonts are not supported.
We started by creating a font that is designed for use specifically with the On Screen Keyboard — it would never be used for presentation or editing. While at first glance this meant we could easily solve the problem by placing all the required marks into the Private Use Area, doing so would mean that on systems where the font was not available, the keyboard would be unusable.
Our final solutionhack uses the OpenType GSUB feature to replace the U+0E81 LAO LETTER KO with a placeholder mark when, and only when, it is used as a base character for a combining mark. The keyboard presentation code stores the Ko Kai letter as a base character for each combining character (or characters), and at render time the font substitutes its placeholder mark. When a key with this pair of characters is clicked, only the combining mark is displayed.
Lao keyboard with substituted base
Lao keyboard with substituted base
Doing this means we can use the Ko Kai letter by itself on the keyboard (on the D key) without a problem (for example on its own key), and in the case where the special font is not available, the user will see an acceptable fallback with the Ko Kai letter as the base character for combining characters.
It's worth noting that many renderers require that the placeholder character be the same font and style as the combining characters. Today, this sadly precludes using a different colour for the placeholder character.
Examples
I have collected screenshots from a variety of browsers that illustrate some of the inconsistencies and frustrations, as well as the happily correct rendering. You can also visit the sample page to see how well the rendering works in your system.
The screenshots include three combinations:
 - A simple single U+0EB5 LAO VOWEL SIGN II
 - A pair of diacritic marks U+0EB5 LAO VOWEL SIGN II + U+0EC8 LAO TONE MAI EK
 - A third combining character U+0EB3 LAO VOWEL SIGN AM
The sample shows these three combinations with the default font for the system, a Lao OpenType font "Saysettha Web", and the special font "SaysetthaX Web" which has our hack in it, along with three different base characters: a hard-coded U+25CC DOTTED CIRCLE, a U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE, and a U+0E81 LAO LETTER KO.
Initially, the dotted circle with the Saysettha Web font looks hopeful. But in the end you will see that only one solution works on all browsers tested: the bottom right cell with the custom font and the Lao Letter Ko. The "hollow x" glyph that we use in this font is similar to the placeholder used in Lao language primers. However, any shape can of course be used here if you are creating your own font.
Windows 8.1 – Internet Explorer
Windows 8.1 - Internet Explorer 11

Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 does surprisingly badly here — worse than earlier versions of Windows. Notice how the default Lao font (DokChampa) does not combine with dotted circle, nor does it combine the pair of diacritics correctly with no-break space.
Windows 8.1 – Chrome
Windows 8.1 - Chrome

While Chrome stacks the pair of diacritics correctly in all cases, the positioning for Dok Champa relative to the base character is incorrect for both dotted circle and no-break space. You can also see how the Saysettha Web and SaysetthaX Web fonts position their diacritics to the left of the cell in the case of the no-break space.
Windows 8.1 – Firefox

Firefox renderers similarly to Chrome. Note that it appears to be using Lao UI instead of DokChampa for the default font.

EC2 does not store the private halves of key pairs. The time you run euca-add-keypair is the only chance you will have to save a copy of the private key. There is no way to recover a lost private key from EC2.

Set up a Security Group
Each security group has its own set of firewall rules. While this tutorial uses the default security group that EC2 provides for you, you can also create your own security groups.
The euca-authorize command lets you tell EC2 to allow traffic from ranges of IP addresses and ports into a security group. To allow access to SSH (TCP port 22) running on instances in the default security group, run the following command:
euca-authorize default -p 22 -s your_system's_ip_address/32
If you do not specify a range of IP addresses then the port(s) you choose will be open to the entire Internet. For example, the following command allows SSH access from any machine Internet, not just your computer:
euca-authorize default -p 22
To allow pings and other ICMP traffic you can run:
euca-authorize default -P icmp
The opposite of euca-authorize is euca-revoke. You can use euca-describe-groups to obtain a list of security groups and the firewall permissions you have applied to them.

History of Mount Zion Bible College
(At 30 Pemican Court, Toronto)
The history of the Mount Zion Bible College is a history of the marvelous work of the Lord. It began at the end of their Annual General Convocation in September 1988. Dr. Evans, a noted Evangelist and visionary from Jamaica, "touched their palates" with the thought of establishing a monotheistic institution for Biblical studies in the city of Toronto.
Before the idea could be embraced it was suggested that the powerful, born again Jew, Dr. Joe Nelson of Parkesburg, West Virginia be invited to aid in the inauguration of the institution. At that meeting the unequivocal support of
A small team – Dr. Cawley, Evangelist McGann and Sis. Powell worked hard over the ensuing four months to develop the infrastructure to launch the Bible College. The Parkesburg Bible College under the leadership of Dr. Nelson – International President, provided significant material, guidance, support and accreditation for the Bible College.
January 4, 1989 marked the commencement of the Mount Zion Apostolic Bible College. The church has never been the same as since
From a small beginning of fifty students over six hundred students have attended forty different courses. Over fifteen students have received Certificates and Diplomas; several students have received Associate Bachelor or Bachelor degree; five students received Masters Degree; and two have received their Doctorate Degree in Theology and Religious Administration, respectively, through the accrediting College – Parkesburg Bible College.
Four Bible Colleges have spawned in Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal and England and now Grand Cayman. There are two offsite lecture centers at Bethlehem United Church and Grace Mount Zion Apostolic Church.

Researchers at the University of Warwick have found that sexual orientation has a real effect on how we perform mental tasks such as navigating with a map in a car but that old age does not discriminate on grounds of sexual orientation and withers all men's minds alike just ahead of women's.
The University of Warwick researchers worked with the BBC to collect data from over 198,000 people aged 20–65 years (109,612 men and 88,509 women). As expected they found men outperformed women on tests such as mentally rotating objects (NB the researchers' tests used abstract objects but the skills used are also those one would use in real life to navigate with a map). They found that women outperformed men in verbal dexterity tests, and remembering the locations of objects. However for a number of tasks the University of Warwick researchers found key differences across the range of sexual orientations studied.
For instance in mental rotation (a task where men usually perform better) they found that the table of best performance to worst was:
In general, over the range of tasks measured, where a gender performed better in a task heterosexuals of that gender tended to perform better than non-heterosexuals. When a particular gender was poorer at a task homosexual and bisexual people tended to perform better than heterosexual members of that gender.
However age was found to discriminate on gender grounds but not sexual orientation. The study found that men's mental abilities declined faster than women's and that sexual orientation made no difference to the rate of that decline either for men or women.
Note for editors: The paper has just been published in Archives of Sexual Behaviour April 2007 DOI 10.1007/s10508-_PHONE_-y and is entitled "Gender and Sexual Orientation Differences in Cognition Across Adulthood: Age Is Kinder to Women than to Men Regardless of Sexual Orientation".

Partner: Nkwa Foundation
Location: Breman, Cape Coast, Ghana
The organic farm project seeks to unite local knowledge and modern agricultural techniques to offer economic sustainability for youths and other marginalized groups in the community. The primary objective of the organic farm project is to enable the incorporation of local knowledge into organic farming practices to ensure a continued connection with natural landscapes. Through the facilitation of workshops, the mentorships of local community members, and the creation of an agriculture cultivation data-base, interns will have the opportunity to integrate into the community and enhance the livelihood of community members. Education or experience in agriculture would be beneficial, but it is not a requirement to partake in the sustainable organic farming project.
A portion of the organic farm will be primarily focused on experimental organic agricultural techniques. With increasing demand for organic produce, both in Ghana and globally, skills-based learning of organic agricultural techniques will enable communities to create environmentally and economically sustainable livelihoods. The experimental portion of the farm can potentially be conducted using scientific methods, which will benefit individuals interested in pursuing careers in the field of sustainable agriculture.
Economic sustainability and independence through agriculture will mobilize and enable youth to become self-sufficient with respect to food. Through the organic farm project, we can also supply widows with sustenance and a livelihood.

Before referring to Carrara Quartz Countertop, we would like to speak about some recommendations on timber floor shades. Dim and dark colors really are a popular option for painters' broadcasters, contemporary rooms and stylish. Polluted if you prefer a classic look organic timber or conventional brown color which will be excellent. Color depth and striking (numerous shades of reddish: cherry and ash Jatoba or tainted in the same shade) that is ideal for professional decorations, offices along with other big spots where the ground becomes a fundamental element of the decor.
While the Carrara Quartz Countertop images and electronic space advisor can provide a general concept of what the ultimate outcome might be, there isn't any greater strategy to ascertain the color of the floor instead of considering the trial site in sun light.
Brown, cozy platinum and crimson wood shades can make your place cozy. Bright and dull floor could make your place huge. Select pure shaded timber flooring in matt finish when the ability to conceal a tiny dent and scrapes are a must. Remember that the shades should match one another and distinction. The ground can't have equivalent hues as walls and furniture.

automatically detects the proper polarity and issues a message if negative polarity data is received:
Reversed FS polarity detected - autocorrecting
The automatic correction applies only to software framing and doesn't help with correlation. For correct results for both software framing and
correlation, you should correct the polarity reversal problem at its source; this is done using negative values for the {{{--gain}}} parameter at
program start time:
./ -a -v 10 -g -50
The second cause of negative correlation peaks is that some protocols (although not P25) make use of both normaland inverted-polarity FS
sequences as a standard part of their processing. Instead of clogging the GUI menu with several choices that are merely inverses of others,
just for the sake of always having positive-peaked correlations, we allow the correlation graph to reflect the natural polarity of the data.
Thus both + and - peaks are shown, allowing quick diagnosis of incorrect hardware polarity (see above), and allowing identification of the
particular family and sub-protocol in use.
Auto Correlation
Also included is Frank's Fast Auto Correlation (fac):
For further details about Fast Auto Correlation refer to Frank's page at
New in late 2013, trunk following for multiple trunked P25 systems was added, supporting the following feature set:
 - Any number of separate trunked systems may be scanned * P25 Phase I (IMBE) voice channel decoding and audio output * Supports LSM/CQPSK systems that require CQPSK (not C4FM) demodulation in addition to C4FM systems * Since CQPSK demodulation is used, LSM simulcast distortion is suppressed (contrary to all current scanners) * In this release, systems and voice channels are scanned sequentially (like trunk tracking scanners) * Alpha tagging for talkgroup ID's * Per-system whitelist (closed group) support: only those talkgroups in the list are scanned * Per-system blacklist support: all talkgroups are scanned, except those listed * Configuration files are TSV (tab-separated); may be edited using spreadsheet software such as Libre office * Talkgroup ID hold: momentary delay after each voice transmission to allow following conversations * Manual talkgroup ID hold: click to pause, remains on current talkgroup until resumed * Manual lockout: click to lock out current talkgroup * All of the signal scope functions (see above) are live and may be selected in real time * Traffic history including list of active voice channels, key trunk control channel data, etc. * Hardware support provided by gr-osmosdr including usrp/uhd, hackrf, and (in theory) RTL DVB-T based sticks etc.
The trunking code has not yet been merged into the master branch. In the meantime after cloning the
repository you can issue this command to switch to the proper code branch:
git checkout max-trunking-update2
(you must first cd to the top level op25 project directory)
Trunking Configuration
The primary configuration file trunk.tsv contains one line (or spreadsheet row) per trunked system
to be monitored. The file need not be named {{{trunk.tsv}}}; any name of your choice may be used, and is specified using the -T option. The file contains the following information:
 - NAC: This is used as the "primary key" to tell different systems apart. * Sysname: The name of the system (for display purposes) * Control Channel List: comma-separated list of trunk control channels. * Offset: if using a SDR with GPSDO, this value is not needed and should be set to zero. Used for frequency drift correction. The values shown are almost certainly incorrect for your system; the frequency error (drift) is different for every oscillator and is also almost always temperature dependent. You can use the other functions of such as the eye diagram to determine the error (difference between nominal frequency and received frequency). * Modulation: C4FM or CQPSK * TGID Tags File: specifies the name of a TSV file for this system, containing alpha talkgroup ID tags * Whitelist: if set, the system is a "closed" system; only listed TGID's will be included * Blacklist: excludes listed TGID's * Center Frequency: set this to (Highest-Frequency-Channel - Lowest-Frequency-Channel) / 2 - and make sure it's at least (say) 50 KHz away from any active channel
Note: the first line of the file containing the field names must not be changed.
Software Tuning Mode
A new feature which helps to workaround a current problem with the RTL-SDR, the software Local Oscillator allows software tuning within the passband whose width is equal to the current sampling rate (--sample-rate) parameter. Currently this seems to be limited to 2.56 MHz.
To use this mode
 - find the lowest (F1) and highest frequencies (F2) in the system * You will have to adjust F1 and F2 such that (F2-F1) is less than the selected sample rate * RTL SDR apparently supports rates higher than 2.56 MHz but there are reported problems * Find the center frequency = F1 plus one-half of (F2-F1) * Adjust the center frequency by a few tens of KHz if necessary to ensure it does not coincide with any of the system channel frequencies, to avoid DC offset * The higher the sample rate, the more CPU is used * If the system contains frequencies outside of the band from F1 to F2, tuning error messages will be issued but the remaining channels should still work * The "Center Frequency" is defined as a new column in the trunking TSV file (added to the right of the Blacklist column after the example shown below was created).
TSV Files
Use the following command to open a TSV file for editing:
oocalc trunk.tsv
Here are the options used when opening the file
Talkgroup ID Alpha Tags
There is usually a separate tags file for each system, although sometimes multiple systems can share a common set of tags. The talkgroup ID (first column in each row) is in decimal (base 10).
Trunked Traffic
Use the -2 command line option to enable Phase 2 TDMA. Unlike in P25 Phase 1 FDMA, TDMA voice channels cannot be tuned manually. TDMA voice channels are always operated under control of a trunked system having a 9,600 FDMA trunking control channel. Accordingly you must establish a trunking definition for your system as detailed above; no other special setup is required.
This records in parallel all talkgroup activity to.WAV files (except talkgroups excluded via the white list and black lists system). The band of frequencies that can be spanned is equal to the SDR sampling rate, e.g., 2.4 MHz or so if using an RTL, wider in other devices (8 MHz in HackRF, for example). Only one SDR is needed though, no matter how many talkgroups are to be logged (as long as these frequency limits are observed). The option is enabled via the "-L n" command line parameter (where n is an int specifying the number of logfile workers - one plus the number of concurrent talkgroups to be logged). Note that in TDMA one worker is required per active frequency (not per talkgroup). The wider the spectrum, and the more workers defined, the higher the CPU usage...
The logging option must be used with the -T option, and (in this version of only the first data row of the trunking TSV file is utilized - subsequent rows are not used.
Possibly bugs exist, here are a few of the known ones as of this writing
 - Symbol filters totally brain damaged (need separate filters for each speed) * When switching modes using the notebook tabs, leftover data from before may appear momentarily * Highest and lowest speeds are not well tuned resulting either in sluggish updates or CPU exhaustion * Currently ignores all except first frequency in list of trunk control frequencies * The selected tab may override the mode (C4FM vs. CQPSK); be sure to select "constellation" to enable CQPSK mode
I ripped off the "tabbed notebook" theme (and code) from Stevie; it already had the spectrum, baseband, and decoded symbol displays. I added the data scope, constellation scope, cross correlation, and trunk tracking features.
The Fast Auto Correlation (fac) code came from Radiorausch.
Special thanks to Mossmann for leaving one commented-out "print" statement in Of course it was tempting to wonder "what would happen" if that statement were un-commented. The final result? The cross-correlation feature.
Special thanks also to GPL, for encouraging these mashups.

this work? Edit: this does not work, :(. Let me try something else then. Take S = (R\Q)x(R\Q). QxR U RxQ would be S complement. Let p be a prime number and let q_p be in Q. For each q_p, let J_p be the set of all rational numbers times the square root of p. Since Q is countable, there is a bijection between the set of primes and {q x R : q is rational} union {R x q : q is rational}. So let A be the union of all q_p X J_p and J_p X q_p. Take A union S and the complement of that in R^2 to be your disjoint union. Dunno if this works but at least it seems like a better attempt.

What kind of ape was Tarzan raised by?
Dear Straight Dope:
Who or what type of critter was Tarzan raised by? I recall from the books that he disliked gorillas and from the descriptions, chimps are too small. Did old Edgar just make up a whole class of apes?
First answer: yes, it's fiction, and Edgar Rice Burroughs made up the whole thing. He wasn't a naturalist, zoologist or anthropologist, and his jungle animals behaved as he wanted them to, to tell a good story. Reality definitely took a second place. Hell, about a 102nd place. Burroughs did distinguish his great apes from gorillas, but did not identify them further than that.
Now, second answer: The identification of the tribe of apes who raised Tarzan is a matter of serious debate (yes, serious debate) among Tarzan aficionados, much as discussions of the location of Watson's wound are among Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts. The game is the same: Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote accounts of a real person, Tarzan, just as John Watson wrote accounts about a real detective, Sherlock Holmes. The problem is that Burroughs (like Watson, or like his editor Arthur Conan Doyle) tried to conceal the true identities of many of the people and incidents; hence, the accounts are full of distortions and seeming inconsistencies. True aficionados try to pry behind the camouflage, to determine the true events, dates, people, places, etc., and to reconcile the inconsistencies.
(ASIDE: In fact, the Burroughs enthusiasts and the Holmes enthusiasts sometimes find points in common--after all, Tarzan's father John Clayton would have been around the same age as Sherlock Holmes, living contemporarily in London.)
OK, so that's the game: assume the stories are true, and try to explain the inconsistencies.
The first Tarzan book, Tarzan of the Apes, was published in 1912. The first chapters describe how, in 1888, John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, was commissioned to make a "peculiarly delicate investigation" of conditions in an unnamed British colony on the west coast of Africa. He was accompanied by his young wife, Lady Alice. (ASIDE: The exact peerage is somewhat confused, as his wife is sometimes called Lady Alice and sometimes Lady Greystoke. She wouldn't normally be addressed as both. Since Edgar Rice Burroughs says he heard this tale from someone else, it is likely that ERB, an American, was unfamiliar with British peerage and titles. However, this spurs on much debate in the Burroughs Bulletin and among fans, trying to identify who the Greystokes really were, etc.)
There was a mutiny on their ship, and they were abandoned somewhere on the West African coast; they built a hut, foraged for food, kept the dangerous beasts away with guns and fire... and then their son was born. One year later, Alice died in her sleep. The next night, the hut was attacked by apes who killed Clayton. One of the female apes, named Kala, had recently lost her child; she grabbed the infant in the crib, nursed him and adopted him to replace her dead baby. The child was raised by the apes and learned the ways of the jungle. The combination of jungle cunning and his superb British brain not only helped Tarzan survive, they made him leader of the ape tribe, self-styled King of the Apes.
He later discovered the hut, including children's books that the Claytons had brought with them. He learned his origin, that he was not a mutant born of Kala, but a son of the tarmangani (white folks.) He taught himself how to read English, and finally met English-speakers. He learned his true identity as the offspring of a British lord, and became the Tarzan we all know and love, whose exploits are told in 24 books by Burroughs, and in countless movies, radio programs, and TV series.
So, to your question: who or what were these "apes" that raised a human baby? Burroughs described them first as "great man-like figures," dimly seen through the foliage. Then one attacks Alice, and we have the description: "The ape was a great bull, weighing probably three hundred pounds. His nasty, close-set eyes gleamed hatred from beneath his shaggy brows, while his great canine fangs were bared in a horrid snarl as he paused a moment before his prey."
Clayton described it in his diary as an "anthropoid ape," but Clayton (like Burroughs) had not studied either anthropology or zoology. In fact, they are clearly not gorillas, as will be discussed in a moment.
The tribe of great apes call themselves mangani and they appear to be far more humanoid than gorilloid. They have a spoken language and social structure. They are often described in the first two Tarzan books as "gorilla-like apes." But Burroughs had, at that time, no information to the contrary. Once he had taken that approach, of course, he was stuck--even though he later learned more about the mangani, he could not contradict his earlier versions. Consequently, the erroneous description of the mangani as apes was in stone. But Burroughs didn't care; Philip Jose Farmer says, in Tarzan Alive, that Burroughs "was writing novels, and the facts did not always have to be adhered to. Indeed... he sometimes went out of his way to make sure that the reader thought that his Tarzan books were entirely fictional."
So, what are the clues?
In The Jungle Tales of Tarzan, Burroughs mentions "these great manlike apes which the natives of the Gobi speak of in whispers" who "unlike the chimpanzee and the gorilla... walk without the aid of their hands quite as readily as with." The ability to walk entirely upright for long periods of time requires that the pelvises and legs of the mangani must have been more human than ape.
We also know, from several stories, that the mangani were well-developed meat eaters. They also ate insects, birds, eggs, fruit, and nuts; this again suggests an evolution that is more human than gorilla (gorillas are vegetarians). Presumably, Tarzan's adopted mother pre-chewed his food for him; otherwise, his comparatively fragile teeth would not have proved adequate.
The mangani have a spoken language of some complexity. Again, this puts them closer to humans on the evolutionary scale than to any other creature.
And so, although they are called "great apes," the conclusion drawn by most people who study the Tarzan stories is that they are subhumans rather than super-apes, perhaps some rare hominid, such as language-using pithecanthropoids. Philip Farmer speculates that the mangani may be a smaller African variety of the Himalayan yeti or the giant sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest. He offers that they may have been a giant variety of Australopithecus robustus, a hominid supposed to be extinct. They may have been the agogwe of native African legend.
We also know that male mangani were subject to maniacal fits of rage. Farmer speculates that this may be a "nonsurvival trait that had tended to reduce the population of the genus, which had been very low for thousands of years. This instability may have helped them lose out in the race for the kingship of Earth in the dawn of sentience. The gorilla, their closest relative after man, had also lost the race.... The huge vegetarian gorillas, though not nearly as intelligent as the mangani, and not numerous, still outnumbered the mangani by a hundred to one. It is doubtful that there were over two hundred [mangani] left in equatorial Africa in 1889."
Presumably, they are extinct today.
As a final aside, there are only two passing reference in the entire 24 books to chimpanzees. "Cheetah" is an invention of the movie people, and thus not canonical.

Duolingo's Bilingual True Crime Podcast Helps Makes it Fun to Learn Spanish
Duolingo's true crime podcast El Gran Robo Argentino preview with bulletin board full of photos and notes
If you've ever talked to someone who spent time living in another country, you probably heard them say they really started to pick up the local language by jumping in and engaging with native speakers. That's exactly why Duolingo decided to launch its new bilingual true crime podcast, El Gran Robo Argentino.
This serialized season actually marks a decisive new turn for Duolingo's Spanish podcast, which has been around since 2017. Now, with El Gran Robo Argentino (or, The Great Argentine Heist), language learners can experience some immersive language-learning experiences of their own. The serialized podcast will span six episodes, and is narrated by bilingual podcast host and producer Martina Castro.
The Spanish-for-English-speakers podcast tells the story of one of the greatest bank robberies in Latin American history. In it, learners will be able to listen to interviews from actual people involved in the Buenos Aires robbery, including investigators, journalists, and even one of the actual bank robbers.
El Gran Robo Argentino includes native speakers telling their stories in easy-to-understand Spanish, alongside Castro, who deftly weaves between Spanish and English to help listeners follow along. The podcast launched on October 22, and you can listen to it wherever you prefer to listen to podcasts.

Faculty of Economics
Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson have been honoured with the Nobel prize for economics for their work on auction theory.
Professor Paul Milgrom
Professor Milgrom visited the University of Cambridge Faculty of Economics to give the Marshall Lecture in 2019, when he explained how the tools of game theory were applied to auctions.
Dr Matthew Elliott from the Faculty of Economics adds "they made foundation contributions to game theory, and our understanding of how markets can be made to work well. Professor Milgrom's Marshall Lecture at the faculty drilled down into how ideas from computer science and economics can be brought together to design better auctions."
Milgrom and Wilson made pivotal advances in auction theory, moving the theory closer to many more actual settings. For example, understanding how auctions perform when the value of the object being auctioned to different bidders has a common value component as well as a private value one. If you bid at an auction for a painting, only you know the 'value' you place on hanging it on your wall, but you will also consider how much it is worth to others because that affects its resale value.
Dr Elliott explains further "Milgrom and Wilson helped develop new auction formats for real world settings where there are many items, and their value is interrelated. They have been instrumental in getting governments to use auctions instead of procurement, and those auctions have enabled governments to raise huge amounts of revenue around the world."
Milgrom and Wilson went on to develop the 1994 'Simultaneous Multiple Round Auction' for radio spectrum, which is now the defacto standard for mobile phone frequency auctions worldwide. "The vast revenues that governments have raised by auctioning off 5G spectrum can be directly related back to their work", says Dr Elliott.
He adds that the Marshall Lecture gave valuable insights. "Auctions are used every day for everything from gilts to minerals, fish to the adverts seen on the webpages of search engines. We were honoured to have him visit Cambridge and explain his research. As a graduate student I took classes taught by both. I'm delighted that they have won this year's Nobel prize."

The Plasma Cloud console allows you to manage wireless mesh both manually and automatically.
Generally, the use of WiFi AI is recommended for automated wireless mesh management. It will perform regular networks scans (based on your maintenance window) and dynamically optimize your settings to better suit your topology. For instance, wireless mesh may be disabled to reduce the WiFi overhead and increase performance when not needed. On the other hand, it will be activated on those devices that can't successfully connect to the Internet via cable.
However, should you wish to manually enable and disable wireless mesh, you can do so either on a per-network or per-Access Point basis. First, you need to:
- Log into the Plasma Cloud console;
- Select the Organisation and Network of interest from the top right menu;
Next, to manually manage wireless mesh for your network, you need to:
- Navigate to Settings > Network in the main menu on the left;
- Ensure the WiFi AI toggle is deactivated in the WiFi settings section;
- Enable or disable the Wireless mesh toggle in the WiFi settings section as needed.
Or, to manually manage wireless mesh for a specific Access Point, you need to:
- Navigate to Access Points and select the device of interest from the table;
- Scroll down to the Wireless mesh section and click on the drop-down menu to change the status of wireless mesh for this particular device.

How to Use Password Fields in Java
A password field is a text component used to input a password. This Java Swing component allows a user to input their password while shielding it with black dots whenever the user types a character.
Java provides the JPasswordField class in its API that developers can use to create a password field. JPasswordField inherits from the JTextComponent class, which itself is a subclass of JComponent.
JTextComponent is the base class for all Swing text components. It provides customizable features such as a model, a view, and unlimited redo and undo to its subclasses.
In this programming tutorial, developers will learn how to create a password field in Java and get a user's input and password.
Looking to learn Java in a classroom or online course setting? We have a tutorial listing some of the Best Online Courses to Learn Java to help get you started.
How to Use JPasswordField in Java
To create a password field, Java programmers need to instantiate the JPasswordField class, like so:
JPasswordField passwordField = new JPasswordField();
In JPasswordField's constructor, you can pass an int argument to define the size of the field (columns) that you would like to be shown on the screen. In the event you are using a layout manager, such as BoxLayout, with your button, the value in the constructor will be ignored or overridden.
Here is some example Java code showing this in action:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

class SimplePassword{

 public static void main(String args[]){

 JFrame frame = new JFrame();
 JPasswordField passwordField = new JPasswordField();
 JLabel label = new JLabel("Password field is below"); // line 10

 frame.setLayout(new BoxLayout(frame.getContentPane(), BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
 passwordField.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.red));
 passwordField.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(75, 25));
 passwordField.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150, 25));
 passwordField.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(250, 25));

 frame.add(label); // line 18
 frame.add(passwordField);
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 frame.setSize(400,400);
 frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
 frame.setVisible(true);
 }
}
The code above creates a password field with a red border line:
Java Password Field Example
Take note of lines 10 to 18 of the code above; your code would still be able to run without these lines. However, you would not really be able to see the password field on your program window. The only thing that would help you identify it would be the blinking cursor on your screen.
Therefore, to help a user easily identify where the password field is, you need to set a colored border for it. Otherwise, it will blend in with the window's background, making it unseeable. The setborder() method helps achieve this.
Additionally, you need to set the minimum, preferred, and maximum size of your password field using setMinimumSize(), setPreferredSize(), setMaximumSize(), respectively. If programmers do not set these values, they will have sizing issues with their password field. You can try commenting out these methods in the code above to see how your passfield resizes.
If it is the only component on the frame, you may not even be able to identify where it is if these sizes are not set.

Handling Events on Password Fields in Java
From the previous example, if you tried entering a password and then pressing the Enter key, you will notice that nothing happens. This is because no action has been configured for when a user has finished entering their password.
In a practical scenario, your user should be able send their password to a database or file for storage or verification. You can add a button to listen for events and associate them with a password field to handle this procedure.
To achieve this, you need to ensure that your event handling class implements the ActionListener interface. Next, you need to register an instance of this class to the button using addActionListener().
Finally, you need to provide the code that will handle the input password in the actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) method. This method is always called whenever an event is fired up from an associated component (e.g a button).
The Java code example below demonstrates the above concepts. It displays the input password on the terminal whenever a user presses the Submit button:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;

class PasswordField implements ActionListener {

 private JPasswordField passwordField = new JPasswordField();

 PasswordField (){

 JFrame frame = new JFrame();
 JLabel label = new JLabel("Enter Password");
 JButton button = new JButton("Submit");
 button.addActionListener(this);

 frame.setLayout(new BoxLayout(frame.getContentPane(), BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
 passwordField.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.red));
 passwordField.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150, 25));
 passwordField.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(250, 25));

 frame.add(label);
 frame.add(passwordField);
 frame.add(button);

 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 frame.setSize(400,400);
 frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
 frame.setVisible(true);
 }

 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

 char[] pass1 = passwordField.getPassword();
 System.out.println(pass1);
 }

 public static void main(String args[]){

 PasswordField passwordObj = new PasswordField();
 }
}
This creates the graphical output:
Java Password Field Tutorial
Final Thoughts on Java Password Fields
Password fields are used to capture private information. This means that developers need to pay particular attention to the security of their class members. One way of doing this is to use the private visibility modifier to ensure that other classes do not unnecessarily access members of this class.

How to Fix Flickering Video on iPhone
Disclosure: When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
Some Apple iPhone users are experiencing flickering or blinking video when recording or shooting video on their devices. If you have experienced this, I provide helpful information on how to fix the problem of flickering video on iPhone models, especially iPhone 12, 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max which seem to be especially plagued by this issue. Users report that their screens blink and flicker in videos. Mister Mobility has not reported experiencing it on his iPhone SE 2022, though, so it does not seem to be a problem across the board.
What exactly is the flickering video on iPhone about? Flickering, shimmering, or blinking on electronic displays is often a result of a lack of synchronization between the shutter speed/frame rate of the camera and the frequency of the AC power that the lights are plugged in to. This is known as the strobe effect. To prevent shimmering, the video frequency should synchronise with the frequency of the electric current. There are a few easy options to go about this.
How to fix flickering video on iPhone
There are a number of ways to fix the issue of flickering video on iPhone
Change to a lower frame rate
The first solution to the problem of blinking or flickering video on iPhone is to use a shutter speed/frame rate that is slower than the frequency of the AC power. For example, in countries like the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the AC mains power runs at 60 cycles per second, so try shooting at frame rate that is lower than that but that syncs with 60Hz. For example, try 30 fps (frames per second).
This is especially a good solution if you are shooting indoors under artificial lighting. If you are unable to do this in the default camera of your iPhone, download and install a 3rd party camera app, like Moment or Filmic Pro. These apps give you more control over frame rates and shutter speed.
Change the shutter speed to match your country's power mains
If you are not in the US, Canada, Mexico, or any other country using 60Hz current, your country's mains power likely runs at 50Hz. Simply use shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 or any factor of 50. These synchronise well with 50Hz current and can help fix the flickering video on iPhone.
Shoot or record in PAL format
If you are located outside of North America where your mains current is 50Hz, another way to eliminate the flickering video on iPhone is to do your video recording in PAL (Phase Alternating Line) format, which is widely used in most of the rest of the world. PAL shoots videos at 25 fps, which should eliminate the flickering when recording video with your iPhone.
To change the video recording format to PAL on your iPhone, open Settings, go to Camera, and select Record Video. From the options listed, select any with PAL in it. One option allows you to shoot in PAL format at 1080p quality, and another at 4K quality. Both record at 25 fps. Select one and you are ready to start shooting your flicker-free videos.
Adjust the exposure
Another way to fix the flickering video on iPhone issue is to adjust the exposure: Tap on the area of the screen where the lighting is flickering. This will adjust the exposure and focus settings specifically for that area. The camera will try to balance the exposure and reduce the flickering effect.
Disable auto-brightness
You can disable auto-brightness on your iPhone to stop the flickering video issue. Sometimes, the auto-brightness feature can cause flickering issues, especially when there are rapid changes in lighting conditions. To turn off auto-brightness, go to "Settings," then "Display & Brightness," and toggle off the "Auto-Brightness" option.
Lastly
Occasionally, software glitches or temporary issues may cause this flickering video on iPhone problem. Restarting your iPhone can help resolve such issues. Press and hold the power button until the "slide to power off" option appears, then slide to turn off your device. Wait a few seconds, then press and hold the power button again to turn it back on.
These are the three ways to get rid of the flickering you see when recording a video with your Apple iPhone. If the problem persists after trying these steps, it's advisable to contact Apple Support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance, as there could be a hardware issue with your iPhone's camera.

Estimating the biodistribution and the pharmacokinetics from time-sequence SPECT images on a per-voxel basis is useful for studying activity nonuniformity or computing absorbed dose distributions by convolution of voxel kernels or Monte-Carlo radiation transport. Current approaches are either region-based, thus assuming uniform activity within the region, or voxel-based but using the same fitting model for all voxels.Methods:
We propose a voxel-based multimodel fitting method (VoMM) that estimates a fitting function for each voxel by automatically selecting the most appropriate model among a predetermined set with Akaike criteria. This approach can be used to compute the time integrated activity (TIA) for all voxels in the image. To control fitting optimization that may fail due to excessive image noise, an approximated version based on trapezoid integration, named restricted method, is also studied. From this comparison, the number of failed fittings within images was estimated and analyzed. Numerical experiments were used to quantify uncertainties and feasibility was demonstrated with real patient data.Results:
Regarding numerical experiments, root mean square errors of TIA obtained with VoMM were similar to those obtained with bi-exponential fitting functions, and were lower (< 5% vs. > 10%) than with single model approaches that consider the same fitting function for all voxels. Failure rates were lower with VoMM and restricted approaches than with single-model methods. On real clinical data, VoMM was able to fit 90% of the voxels and led to less failed fits than single-model approaches. On regions of interest (ROI) analysis, the difference between ROI-based and voxel-based TIA estimations was low, less than 4%. However, the computation of the mean residence time exhibited larger differences, up to 25%.Conclusions:
The proposed voxel-based multimodel fitting method, VoMM, is feasible on patient data. VoMM leads organ-based TIA estimations similar to conventional ROI-based method. However, for pharmacokinetics analysis, studies of spatial heterogeneity or voxel-based absorbed dose assessment, VoMM could be used preferentially as it prevents model overfitting.

Microwave-absorbing characteristics of carbothermic reduction products of ilmenite concentrate catalyzed by sodium borate
1 Key Laboratory of Unconventional
Metallurgy, Ministry of Education, Kunming University of Science and Technology,
2 Faculty of Science, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Yunnan 650093, P.R. China
Accepted: 12 April 2016
Carbothermic reduction kinetics of ilmenite concentrate catalyzed by sodium borate and microwave-absorbing characteristics of reduction products were investigated. Kinetics results showed that the reaction was controlled by the nuclei formation model, the apparent activation energy was 100.74 kJ/mol, which was lower about 34.40 kJ/mol and 11.29 kJ/mol compared with the final stage activation energy using sodium silicate and sodium chloride as catalysts, respectively. The final reduction degree was 54.95%, 64.14% at temperatures of 1423 K and 1473 K, respectively, higher about 32.21% compared with those results by sodium silicate under the same conditions. The microwave-absorbing characteristics of reduction products were measured by the method of microwave cavity perturbation. The results demonstrated that the microwave absorbing characteristics of reduction products obtained at temperatures of 900 °C, 1100 °C and 1200 °C changed greatly. The formation of Fe occurred at the temperature of 900 °C. The decreasing of FeTiO3 content resulted in the decrease of the microwave absorbing characteristics, while, the increasing of Fe content resulted in the increase of microwave absorbing characteristics. The decrease of FeTiO3 content and the increase of FeTi2O5 (MgTi2O5) content made the microwave absorbing characteristics decrease, the increase of Fe content made the microwave absorbing characteristics increase. The decreasing trend was larger than the increasing trend, which was the main reason for the great changes of microwave absorbing characteristics of reduction products obtained at the temperature range of 850 °C–900 °C and at the temperature range of 1100 °C–1200 °C.
Key words: Sodium borate / ilmenite concentrates / catalytic reduction / kinetics / microwave absorbing characteristics

Last month I spend some time on migrating an Azure PAYG subscription to an Azure CSP subscription. It seems like moving around some resources between resource groups is not that complex but I ran into some issues during the move which made me write down this post.
Before we start with the actual migration you should first draft a plan based on the different type of resources in you Azure subscription. I have used the following approach:
In this step we collect all the information of the current subscription. You can use the following tools and steps to get the information:
- Use the Azure CSP Migration Assessment tool. This will give you a good overview of which resources can be migrated, which require some extra action and which cannot be moved. The output is something similar to this:

The lake of Burano is found on the Tuscany coast to south of the Argentario, the lago has an amplitude of approximately 400 hectares and is constituted from divided water salmastra from the sea from a earth border. The oasis is composed from a rigogliosa flora, wide cane field rows grows along the coast that separates the sea from the lago. In the inside verdeggianti prati, make space, during the autumnal season to the wide water mirrors, typical of the swampy zones. Between the plants that grow in these lands we remember the Giglio of sea, the marine Eringio, the Juniper, the Mirto and the Leccio. Between the fauna of the common oasis we find the Folaghe, the Fenicottero rose, the Fischione, the Cormorano and in spring the red Airone, the ghiandaia, the Cicogna white woman and other anchor. This area was proclamata protected oasis is in 1967, when the association of the Italian WWF verifying that the lago went gradually degrading itself, decided to take in management the entire zone.

The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine (Penn State) in Hershey, Pa., redesigned its programs to increase the number of generalist graduates and the number of residents entering primary care practice.
This project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) Generalist Physician Initiative, a national program that challenged schools of medicine to increase the supply of general internists, general pediatricians and family practitioners that they were training.
Under the Generalist Physician Initiative, Penn State accomplished the following:
- Established the Center for Primary Care.
- Established a statewide promotional campaign—the Penn State Primary Care Partnership.
- Implemented a tracking system to provide information on the career decisions of students, graduates and residents.
- Developed a Primary Care Pre-Admission Program to identify and recruit promising high school and undergraduate students.
- Developed a Primary Care Early Acceptance and Admissions Program to selectively admit students who seek to pursue primary care careers.
- Restructured the medical school curricula to emphasize more interdisciplinary, coordinated primary care courses.
- Emphasized and refocused the importance of primary care in the residency program.
- Established 12 community practice sites and trained some 350 preceptors to work with medical students and residents.

DSWCD used the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) Grant to fund the Medina Water Quality Project, which converted flood irrigation to sprinkler system. The 17 acres of flood irrigated pasture is grazed by alpacas and sheep, which led to nutrient runoff from manure and fertilizer of the field. Whenever there was excess irrigation water, the nutrient runoff would enter the Central Oregon Irrigation District (COID) main canal. The main goal was to address the water quality problem to COID canal by eliminating the current method of flood irrigation by installing a sprinkler system and improving irrigation water management (IWM).
To achieve this goal, a vault with an inline pump replaced the divertion gate entering the property. The on-farm open ditch was replaced by an underground 6 inch 165psi class PVC pipe. A wheel line was also installed, replacing the current flood irrigation method. Estimated water savings for the conversion is 37% which is 1.5 ac-in/ac (570,200 gal/yr). With the adoption of an IWM plan, it is estimated that an additional 3% water savings will be achieved (.1 ac – in/ac (38,013 gal/yr).

Blog Tags: Hybrid Sharks
Happy New Year! Hope all you ocean lovers out there had a relaxing holiday. And what better way to start off 2012 than with some fascinating new ocean discoveries?
First, scientists have identified the first-ever hybrid shark off the coast of Australia, a result of mating between the common blacktip shark and the Australian blacktip shark. The discovery indicates that some shark species may respond to changing ocean conditions by interbreeding.
And more humorously, scientists in the UK have found a new yeti crab species on the Southern Ocean floor that they have dubbed "The Hoff" because of its hairy chest – a la David Hasselhoff.
The researchers found hundreds of the crabs lying in heaps around hydrothermal vents – as many as "600 individuals per square metre." "Baywatch" and crustacean fans alike are rejoicing, and Mr. Hasselhoff himself even tweeted about the discovery.
If you could have a marine animal named after you, what would it be?

The Benefits of Soapstone
Read about the most notable benefits of using soapstone on your wood burning stove.
Heat is essential during the cold months of the year for a comfortable home, but cast iron is not the only efficient form of material used for producing wood burning stoves. Soapstone is another material that has been used throughout the world for many years. The benefits of using a wood burning stove are remarkable by themselves, but a stove also clad in soapstone as well can deliver even more benefits. Here are some of the most notable benefits of the material.
Some stone materials have a porous texture. Spilling substances on these materials can result in deep stains that are impossible to get rid of. Soapstone is a completely non-porous natural stone so even when used as a material to cover a wood stove, should something splash up on the unit or be spilled on it, there is no risk of staining. The unit can look just as beautiful the first day it is installed throughout its potentially long life.
Soapstone is not only used in stoves for helping retain heat but has proven popular in many other areas of the home as well. The material does not absorb bacteria like some materials in kitchen or bathroom worktops and splashbacks, so it is remarkably healthy for family use. The same thing can be said of a soapstone clad wood stove. No matter what is going on in the home, the heater will not absorb the bacteria. Some wood stoves have been taken out of homes and used in new ones without any issues because there is no risk of mould or mildew getting into the stone.
Environmentally Friendly
Having access to renewable resources for heating is what makes the world a better place. It is widely known that wood burning stoves themselves are remarkably environmentally friendly with clean burn innovative and wood burning being carbon neutral. Certified wood suppliers adhere to strict guidance and sustainability is an issue taken very seriously by stove manufacturers. Soapstone is equally a natural resource. The fact that the stone is a natural product means that your family do not have to worry about any bacteria or foreign materials within the stone. No matter how hot it gets, there is never a risk of bacteria, so it can be a great option for those that are sensitive to certain materials.
Heating Ability
The standard wood burning stove made from cast iron is able to get remarkably hot and hold the heat far past when the wood burns down. There is, however, the fact that the fire has to be continually stoked due to the naturally porous structure of the cast iron. Soapstone is a little different. The non-porous nature of the stone means that less heat is able to escape from the unit. The fire inside is able to burn much hotter and stay hotter for a longer period of time.
Within the fire box, the wood is able to give off its highest heating potential as the heat is concentrated within the space. That means that instead of pulling out partially burned wood when cleaning the stove, you will merely have fully used ash to sweep away.
Some people may be a bit cautious about this form of heat as it does get remarkably hot within the system, but the way that the soapstone stoves are manufactured means that they are quite safe. The interior is fully encapsulated within the unit and the entire unit is clad in soapstone, so the stone acts as an insulator rather than a conductor. The bulk of the stove remains relatively cool to the touch and therefore children playing around the unit will not be harmed by accidentally bumping into the system. It is only the space in front of the unit that remains hot, so it can be even safer than some of the standard wood burning and gas stoves comprised of other conductible materials.
With all of these benefits, it is no surprise that soapstone clad stoves continue to be a popular design statement and practical additional to a home. They have been designed to be a showpiece within the home rather than merely functional. No matter the décor of the home, you will be able to find a soapstone finished stove that is right for you, so contact your licensed stove installer today and enjoy the many benefits of this age-old technology.


instance Consumes AddFoo MimeJSON
instance Produces AddFoo MimeJSON
instance Produces AddFoo MimeXML
instance HasBodyParam AddFoo FooModel
instance HasOptionalParam AddFoo FooName
instance HasOptionalParam AddFoo FooId
this would indicate that:
 - the addFoo operation can consume JSON
 - the addFoo operation produces JSON or XML, depending on the argument passed to the dispatch function
 - the addFoo operation can set it's body param of FooModel via setBodyParam
 - the addFoo operation can set 2 different optional parameters via applyOptionalParam
If the OpenAPI spec doesn't declare it can accept or produce a certain MIME type for a given Operation, you should either add a Produces or Consumes instance for the desired MIME types (assuming the server supports it), use dispatchLbsUnsafe or modify the OpenAPI spec and run the generator again.
New MIME type instances can be added via MimeType/MimeRender/MimeUnrender
Only JSON instances are generated by default, and in some case x-www-form-urlencoded instances (FromFrom, ToForm) will also be generated if the model fields are primitive types, and there are Operations using x-www-form-urlencoded which use those models.
Authentication
A haskell data type will be generated for each OpenAPI authentication type.
If for example the AuthMethod AuthOAuthFoo is generated for OAuth operations, then addAuthMethod should be used to add the AuthMethod config.
When a request is dispatched, if a matching auth method is found in the config, it will be applied to the request.
Example
mgr <- newManager defaultManagerSettings
config0 <- withStdoutLogging =<< newConfig
let config = config0
 'addAuthMethod' AuthOAuthFoo "secret-key"
let addFooRequest =
 addFoo

 'applyOptionalParam' FooName "name"
 'setHeader' [("qux_header","xxyy")]
addFooResult <- dispatchMime mgr config addFooRequest

My four-year-old daughter asked me why paper tends to fall apart when wet, and I wasn't sure. I speculated that the water lubricates the paper fibers so that they can untangle and separate more easily, but I really wasn't sure.

Forever_a_Newcomer is on the right lines, but it's not like water dissolving salt.
Paper is mostly made from cellulose fibres (depending on the type there may also be filers and glazes like clay). Cellulose molecules bristle with hydroxyl (OH) groups, and these form hydrogen bonds with each other. It's these hydrogen bonds that make the individual fibres stiff, and also hold the fibres together.
Water is also full of OH bonds, obviously since it's H$_2$O, and the water molecules form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose, which breaks the hydrogen bonds that cellulose molecules form with each other. There are two results from this: firstly the cellulose fibes in the paper become floppy, because their internal hydrogen bonds are broken, and secondly the fibres separate from each other more easily. The combination of these two effects makes paper easier to tear apart when wet.
Most organic materials show similar behaviour. For example cotton is also easier to tear when wet (cotton is also made mostly from cellulose). Also hair becomes floppier and more easily damaged when wet, though the effect is less pronounced because hair contains fewer hydrogen bonds than cellulose fibres.

This answer has changed my life. I now see hydrogen bonds everywhere and understand a great variety of phenomena that were mysterious to me before. For example, why does cereal get soggy after your pour the milk over it. Thanks. – MJD Dec 1 '13 at 22:23
You are close to mark, it's a kind lubrication.
Cohesive force between the cellulose fibers is of electrostatic origin. As water molecules, which are small dipoles, penetrate between the fibers they align with electric field. This effectively shields them of each other, greatly diminishing the force. Thus the easy untangling of the fibers (what we see as ripping).
It's similar to how water dissolves salt, here's an animation for your Daughter:

Chiese Food Restaurant Sign
"Chiese Food" sign on a Chinese food restaurant.
"Chiese Food" sign on a Chinese food restaurant.
When I lived in Singapore, I used to joke about the misspelled English words I saw everywhere, or the jumbles of random phrases used as shirt slogans. Having English on the shirt made it foreign and cool, I suppose. After working on learning two foreign languages (Arabic and Hebrew), I'm not nearly so critical of spelling mistakes by non-native speakers. Remembering vocabulary is a pain.
However, I can't help but find it amusing that a person would misspell their own nationality on a manufactured neon sign placed in the window of a restaurant that sells said nationality's food (or the Americanized version of it anyway).
How do you open a Chinese food restaurant and put up a sign for Chiese Food? Was it really poor business management, or a clever attempt to draw attention? Or did the guy purposefully misspell it because he knew that what he's selling isn't truly Chinese food? American Chinese food is nothing like what I ate in Singapore, which in most ways is far superior.
This particular establishment is on Amsterdam Avenue between 169th and 170th.

Bringing Them Home name index – Fact sheet 175
The National Archives of Australia holds many records that contain information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their history. The Archives has created an index of names that appear in the most relevant of these records in response to the recommendations of Bringing Them Home, the report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families, released in 1997.
The Bringing Them Home (BTH) name index aims to help Indigenous people find information about themselves, their families and their country. The index contains:
- names of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- names of non-Indigenous people related to or associated with Indigenous people
- names of missions and institutions where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were placed
- places where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have lived or visited
The index does not contain information about the people named. To see this information you will need to view the original records (files, papers and photographs) or photocopies of them.
Requesting a search of the BTH name index
On request, National Archives reference staff will search the index for you. To assist us to undertake a thorough search, it helps if you provide as many details as possible, including:
- name of the person you are researching – this includes any variations in the spelling of given names, nicknames, forgotten names, or Indigenous names
- family connections – the names of any siblings, children or other relatives
- language group, country or homeland – which were sometimes used to identify people
- place – where the person was born, lived, worked, or was sent to
- date of birth, age at events, or date of death of the person
- date ranges – year or period the person was in a certain place or area, such as the period they worked on a particular cattle station
- significant events that may have occurred in the person's life, such as being evacuated because of natural disaster or war
You may not be able to supply all of these details about the person you are seeking but, the more information you provide, the easier it will be for us to determine if there are references to the person or family you are researching in the Archives' holdings.
You can ask for the BTH name index to be searched by contacting the Archives' National Reference Service:
National Reference Service
National Archives of Australia
PO Box 7425
CANBERRA BC ACT 2610
Using information from the BTH name index to find records
If a search of the name index locates entries relating to the person you are researching, we will send you a list of the names found in the index. You will then be able to:
- ask for photocopies of the pages of the original records that mention the name, or
- view the records in the National Archives reading room of the office in which they are held
Reference officers will be able to advise you where the records are located.
In some instances the records may contain distressing or offensive information. The records were created many years ago and are written in the language of the day. Some personally sensitive information in the records is withheld from general access under the provisions of the Archives Act 1983.
If the reason for seeking access is to obtain information for the purpose of re-establishing family and community links, under the Memoranda of Understanding between the Archives and Northern Territory, Victorian and South Australian Indigenous communities you may look at information normally restricted from public access.
Record holdings on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
The BTH name index is not the only information resource available to researchers of Indigenous family history.
While most government records relating to Aboriginal affairs before 1970 were created and maintained by state governments, the National Archives holds large quantities of records relevant to Northern Territory and Victorian Indigenous people.
A number of fact sheets and guides to the Archives' records on Indigenous people are available.
The Victorian Koorie Records Taskforce, in association with the Public Record Office of Victoria, has developed 'Finding your story' website.

Failure line jump is a useful feature when writing test cases, it allows you to jump to and highlight the exact line of code which produces some error. To do so, you just need to click on the line number in the error message as shown below.
As you type code for a test case, you are prone to making visual mistakes (like indentation, new lines, etc.). Language server has a great which you can use to format your code. This is particularly useful when you want to type fast and have beautifully formatted code.
In order to format your code, either right click somewhere inside the code editor then click on "Format Document", or press "Shift + Alt + F" and the code will format itself.
MaxTAF Cloud currently supports 4 different programming languages:
 1. MXML
 2. Java
 3. Python
 4. Javascript
 5. C# (work in progress)
When you are creating a case, you can choose a language in which your could will be written.
MXML is MaxTAF Cloud's custom language that uses XML tags and makes it easier for the person who is not a developer to actually write code. MXML transpiles into Java code which is then compiled. You can read in depth about MXML in the MXML section of the developers guide.
Java is a standard language for writing test cases. You can also use custom .jar or third party libraries inside your test case.
Python is minimal and doesn't have the need for compilation. It also supports custom or third party libraries.
Javascript is somewhere between Java/Python and also doesn't need to be compiled.
Parameters are a powerful and flexible tool for system configuration in MaxTAF Cloud.
Below is a list of all reserved parameters. Reserved parameters can have custom values but the key cannot be used for any other task:
mx.test.##
mx.datadriven.file
mx.selenium.server
mx.suite.##
mx.datadriven.runtype
mx.selenium.enable_video_recording
mx.user.##
mx.datadriven.name.##
mx.selenium.browser
mx.project.##
mx.datadriven.col.##
mx.selenium.mode
mx.system.##
mx.selenium.slow_down_level
mx.time_to_live
mx.bridge.address
mx.selenium.proxy
mx.params.source
mx.notify

mx.params.method
mx.notify.email

mx.params.method.source
mx.notify.on_outcome

mx.mxml.schemaFormat
mx.params
All three parameters need to respect their own rules. That means that if you set them like this:
mx.params=user-suite-test
mx.params.method=intersection
mx.params.method.source=test
They are not going to be applied inside the "project" layer, because the "project" layer (where they are defined) is not going to be taken into consideration when setting parameters. Look at "mx.params.source" as an example.
If the parameters were defined like this:
mx.params=user-suite-test-project
mx.params.method=intersection
mx.params.method.source=test
Then they are not going to be applied inside the "project", "suite" or "user" layer, because these layers will not be in intersection if not defined so in "test". Look at "mx.params.method" and "mx.params.method.source" as an example.
Default value
mx.params.source=user-suite-test-project
Possible values
test', 'suite', 'user', 'project', 'system', separated by -
Meaning
 1. Determines which layers will be used to set parameters for run.
 2. Determines which layer has bigger priority.
Example: 'mx.params.source=user-test-project'
'user' layer has top priority, then 'test' and then 'project' layer. That means that if the same parameter is defined in the "user" and "test" and "project" layer, the one in the "user" layer will be used.
Examples:
layers
user
suite
test
project
system
fruit=cherry
fruit=banana
fruit=apple
fruit=pear
fruit=grapes
..
..
..
..
..
1) If "test" layer had the parameter "mx.params.source=test", the result would be:
fruit=apple
Because the parameter "mx.params.source" is set to "test", the "test" layer will be used for parameter setup. Other layers will be ignored.
2) If "suite" or "test" layer had the parameter "mx.params.source=suite-test", the result would be:
fruit=banana
Because the same parameter is in the "suite" and "test" layer, the parameter from the layer with bigger priority will be used. In this case the "suite" layer has a bigger priority than the "test" layer.
3) If "user", "suite", "test" or "project" layer had the parameter "mx.params.source=user-suite-test-project", the result would be:
fruit=cherry
Because the same parameter is in different layers, the parameter from the layer with the biggest priority will be used. In this case the "user" layer has the biggest priority.
4) If "test", "suite" or "project" layer had the parameter "mx.params.source=test-suite-project-test", the result would be:
fruit=apple
You can mention one layer multiple times.
Because the "test" layer has the biggest priority, the value of the parameter is "apple"
layers
user
suite
test
project
system
fruit=
fruit=banana
fruit=
fruit=pear
fruit=
..
..
..
..
..
5) If the "test" or "project" layer had the parameter "mx.params.source=suite-test-project", the result would be:
If suite is run:
fruit=banana
Because the test is run from a suite, we have a "suite" layer. Because "suite" layer has bigger priority than "test" and "project" layers, parameter will take value from the "suite" layer
If test case is run:
fruit=pear
If the test case is run individually, "suite" layer doesn't exist, so we compare "test" and "project" layers. "test" layer has bigger priority, but the parameter "fruit" doesn't have a value in the "test" layer, so in that case if the value is not set, the layer with smaller priority will be picked. If the parameter exists, we would be using it.
If we wanted to not set the parameter value, we could've done that in two ways. One way is to delete the parameter "fruit" from the "project" layer, or we could've changed the value of the parameter mx.params.source to mx.params.source=user-suite-test, so the "project" layer is not included.
For more examples, look at the bottom of the "mx.params" category, because in order to understand everything, you need to know what "mx.params.method" and "mx.params.method.source" parameters do.
Default value
mx.params.method=intersection
Possible values
union', 'intersection
Meaning
Explains the way in which layers will merge
Examples:
layers

user
suite
test
project
system
fruit=cherry
fruit=banana
fruit=apple
fruit=pear
fruit=grapes

food=pizza

seasons=winter

 1. If "test" or "project" layers had the following parameters: 'mx.params.source=test-project' i 'mx.params.method=union' the result would be:
 2. fruit=apple
 food=pizza
 seasons=winter
 3. If "test" or "project" layers had the following parameters: 'mx.params.source=test-project' i 'mx.params.method=intersection' the result would be:
 4. fruit=apple
 food=pizza
 If you wonder why the result is not
 fruit=apple
 Look at the explanation of parameter 'mx.params.method.source'
 For more examples look at the end of mx.params category, because in order to understand everything you need to know what "mx.params.source" and "mx.params.method.source" parameters do.
Default value
mx.params.method.source=test
Possible values
test', 'suite', 'user', 'project', 'system
Meaning
Determines what is intersection for layers when parameter 'mx.params.method' has value 'intersection
Default value
mx.params.method.source=test
Possible values
test', 'suite', user', project', system
Meaning
Determines what is intersection for layers when parameter 'mx.params.method has value 'intersection
Examples:
layers

user
suite
test
project
system
fruit=cherry
fruit=banana
fruit=apple
fruit=pear

animal=cat
animal=dog

seasons=summer

seasons=winter

food=pizza

instrument=guitar
 1. If the test parameters were 'mx.params.source=user-suite-test-project', 'mx.params.method=intersection' and 'mx.params.method.source=test' the result would have parameters:
 2. fruit=cherry
 animal

Question by Julianne (31)
What are some simple face painting ideas?
I'm not much of an artist.
Answer by beelady (334)
A simple face painting could be a Butterfly, or tiger stripes. Other ideas are balloons, stars, and rainbows. For an easy full face you could do a clown face.
Answer by SallyJ64 (3121)
Always break down drawings into simpler shapes. Things that are made up of simple shapes are easier to draw or paint. The easiest are balloons and butterflys, rainbows, clouds and raindrops It's also easy to paint the whole face and turn the kid's face into something like a cat or a dog.
