Extension TypeFunction
Description
findRelationshipByVerb takes in a user specified string constant as a verb and a text stream, and returns the whole text, subject, object and the verb based on the specified verb. This information can be extracted only if the verb specified exists in the text stream. However, the tense of the verb does not have to match.
The input parameters used are as follows.
 - verb : This is a user specified string constant.
 - string-variable : A string or the stream attribute which includes the text stream.
Examples
findRelationshipByVerb("say", "Information just reaching us says another Liberian With Ebola Arrested At Lagos Airport") returns the following.
 - The whole text
 - Information as the subject
 - Liberian as the object.
 - says as the verb.

 - string-variable : A string or the stream attribute which includes the text stream.
Example
findSemgrexPattern('{lemma:die} >/.*subj|num.*/=reln {}=diedsubject', "Sierra Leone doctor dies of Ebola after failed evacuation.")
In this example, the function searches for words with the lemmatization die that are governors on any subject or numeric relation. The dependent is marked as the diedsubject, and the relationship is marked as reln. Thus, the query returns an output stream that has the full match of this expression, i.e. the governing word with lemmatization for die. It also returns the name of the corresponding node for each match it finds.
The following is the list of elements in the output stream.
 - The whole text
 - dies as the match

ckpath
Section: User Commands (1)
Updated: 14 Sep 1992
Index Return to Main Contents

NAME
ckpath, errpath, helppath, valpath - display a prompt; verify and return a pathname
SYNOPSIS
ckpath [-Q] [-W width] [-a | l] [-b | c | f | y] [-n [o | z] ] [-rtwx] [-d default] [-h help] [-e error] [-p prompt] [ -k pid [-s signal]]
/usr/sadm/bin/errpath [-W width] [-a | l] [-b | c | f | y] [-n [o | z] ] [-rtwx] [-e error]
/usr/sadm/bin/helppath [-W width] [-a | l] [-b | c | f | y] [-n [o | z] ] [-rtwx] [-h help]
/usr/sadm/bin/valpath [-a | l] [-b | c | f | y] [-n [o | z] ] [-rtwx] input
DESCRIPTION
The ckpath utility prompts a user and validates the response. It defines, among other things, a prompt message whose response should be a pathname, text for help and error messages, and a default value (which is returned if the user responds with a <RETURN>).
The pathname must obey the criteria specified by the first group of options. If no criteria is defined, the pathname must be for a normal file that does not yet exist. If neither -a (absolute) or -l (relative) is given, then either is assumed to be valid.
All messages are limited in length to 79 characters and are formatted automatically. Tabs and newlines are removed after a single white space character in a message definition, but spaces are not removed. When a tilde is placed at the beginning or end of a message definition, the default text is inserted at that point, allowing both custom text and the default text to be displayed.
If the prompt, help or error message is not defined, the default message (as defined under EXAMPLES) is displayed.
Three visual tool modules are linked to the ckpath command. They are errpath (which formats and displays an error message on the standard output), helppath (which formats and displays a help message on the standard output), and valpath (which validates a response). These modules should be used in conjunction with Framed Access Command Environment (FACE) objects. In this instance, the FACE object defines the prompt.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Pathname must be an absolute path.
-b Pathname must be a block special file.
-c Pathname must be a character special file.
-d default Defines the default value as default. The default is not validated and so does not have to meet any criteria.
-e error Defines the error message as error.
-f Pathname must be a regular file.
-h help Defines the help message as help.
-k pid Specifies that process ID pid is to be sent a signal if the user chooses to quit.
-l Pathname must be a relative path.
-n Pathname must not exist (must be new).
-o Pathname must exist (must be old).
-p prompt Defines the prompt message as prompt.
-Q Specifies that quit is not allowed as a valid response.
-r Pathname must be readable.
-s signal Specifies that the process ID pid defined with the -k option is to be sent signal signal when quit is chosen. If no signal is specified, SIGTERM is used.
-t Pathname must be creatable (touchable). Pathname will be created if it does not already exist.
-w Pathname must be writable.
-W width Specify that prompt, help and error messages be formatted to a line length of width.
-x Pathname must be executable.
-y Pathname must be a directory.
-z Pathname must have a file having a size greater than zero bytes.

OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
input Input to be verified against validation options.

EXAMPLES
The text of the default messages for ckpath depends upon the criteria options that have been used.
Example 1: Default prompt
An example default prompt for ckpath (using the -a option) is:
example% ckpath -a
Enter an absolute pathname [?,q]
Example 2: Default error message
An example default error message (using the -a option) is:
example% /usr/sadm/bin/errpath -a
ERROR: A pathname is a filename, optionally preceded by parent directories.
The pathname you enter: - must begin with a slash (/)
Example 3: Default help message
An example default help message (using the -a option) is:
example% /usr/sadm/bin/helppath -a
A pathname is a filename, optionally preceded by parent directories.
The pathname you enter: - must begin with a slash (/)
Example 4: The quit option
When the quit option is chosen (and allowed), q is returned along with the return code 3. Quit input gets a trailing newline.
Example 5: Using the valpath module
The valpath module will produce a usage message on stderr. It returns 0 for success and non-zero for failure.
example% /usr/sadm/bin/valpath
usage: valpath [-[a|l][b|c|f|y][n|[o|z]]rtwx] input
 .
 .
 .

EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful execution.
1 EOF on input, or negative width on -W option, or usage error.
2 Mutually exclusive options.
3 User termination (quit).
4 Mutually exclusive options.

:: Scope qualifier misunderstanding.
Discussion in 'C++' started by bardos, Aug 28, 2004.
 1. bardos
 bardos Guest
 Hello, I'm relatively new to C++ so I hope you can help clear up a
 problem. You may well be able to do so before checking the example, so
 don't be put off by the long post :) The problem regards the usage and
 effect of the :: scope qualifier. I'm converting a Java app to C++ and
 need to find the equivalent of using the Java 'super' keyword. This
 executes the 'superclass's constructor (with possibly different
 arguments from the derived constructor). I thought I would do this by
 using the C++ :: operator, to pick the required base constructor from
 within the derived class. Eg,
 DerivedClass::DerivedClass(int x)
 {
 BaseClass::BaseClass(x , NULL, NULL); // Call different
 constructor.
 }
 I was hoping this would set the values in the derived class using the
 base constructor.
 This compiles fine, but any operation carried out in the base class
 seem to have no effect on the dervied class. Does anyone know why this
 is, and how to remedy this? I've enclosed an example.
 The program has 3 classes, base1, base 2 (inherits base 1) and derived
 (inherits base2). Each class has one int (b1,b2 and d respectively).
 Using :: to call methods to set values b1 and b2 in base1 and base2
 has no effect, leaving the values undefines inthe derived class.
 The program outputs -842150451 -842150451 3 for the 3 values, instead
 of the expected 1,2,3.
 I would really appretiate any help with my misunderstanding,
 Regards,
 Steve.
 // EXAMPLE CODE.
 // Base 1 declaration.
 class base1
 {
 public:
 base1(){}; // Default constructor.
 base1(int);
 int b1;
 };
 base1::base1(int i)
 {
 b1 = i;
 }
 // Base 2 declaration, uses base1 as base class.
 class base2 :public base1
 {
 public:
 base2(){}; // Default constructor.
 base2(int);
 int b2;
 };
 base2::base2(int i)
 {
 b2 = i;
 base1::base1(1);
 }
 // Derived class, uses base2 (and therefore class1) as base classes.
 class derived : public base2
 {
 public:
 derived(int);
 int d;
 };
 derived::derived(int i)
 {
 d = i;
 base2::base2(2);
 }

 derived *d;
 d = new derived(3);

 I think you want:
 DerivedClass::DerivedClass(int x)
 : BaseClass(x , NULL, NULL) // Call different constructor.
 {
 // rest of init there.
 }
 derived::derived(int i)
 : base2(2)
 {
 d = i;
 }

 In C++, the base class constructors all get called automatically,
 before the body of the derived class constructor is executed:
 > DerivedClass::DerivedClass(int x)
 > {
 By this point, the base class constructors and the member objects
 have all been initialized already.
 > BaseClass::BaseClass(x , NULL, NULL);
 Actually this creates a new un-named object of type BaseClass,
 which is then destroyed immediately. It is similar to:
 BaseClass foo(x, NULL, NULL);

 You need to specify arguments for the base class constructors before
 the opening { of the derived constructor (if you don't, then the default
 constructors will be called). In fact you can specify initialization
 for any member objects and/or base classes at this point:
 DerivedClass::DerivedClass(int x)
 : BaseClass(x, NULL, NULL), member_int(5)
 {
 > // EXAMPLE CODE.
 >
 > class base1
 > {

 > base1(){}; // Default constructor.
 This semicolon isn't required (some people would say, the code is
 easier to read without it).
 > base1(int);
 > int b1;
 > };
 >
 > base1::base1(int i)
 > {
 > b1 = i;
 > }
 Preferable is:
 base1::base1(int it)
 : b1(i)
 {
 }
 (Practically speaking, there is no difference, but if 'b1' had been
 a class type with a constructor, then your way would have
 constructed 'b1' with the default constructor first, and then
 assigned 'i' to it: a waste of time).
 > base2::base2(int i)
 > {
 > b2 = i;
 > base1::base1(1);
 > }
 Similarly:
 base2::base2(int i)
 : base1(1), b2(i) {}
 Note that the base classes get initialized before the member objects,
 regardless of what order you list things here, ie. that would have
 been the same as:
 : b2(i), base1(1) {}
 > void main(int argc,char *argv[])
 main() must return an int in C++ (many compilers would refuse to
 compile your example)
 > {
 > derived *d;
 >
 > d = new derived(3);
 > printf("%d %d %d ",d->b1,d->b2,d->d);
 Coming from a Java background you may be unaware that in C++ you
 can create objects with: "Type name(args);" , you should avoid
 using "new" if possible. If you "new" an object you have to
 "delete" it later, but if you create it with the "Type name(args)"
 form, then it is automatically deleted when it goes out of scope.
 Also, C++ programs should end their output with a newline.
 int main()
 {
 derived d(3);
 printf("%d %d %d \n", d.b1, d.b2, d.d);
 // or: std::cout << d.b1 << " " << d.b2 << " " << d.b3 << "\n";

Lewis Edison Waterman
Born November 20 1837 – Died May 1 1901
Patent No. 293,545
Lewis Waterman invented a superior fountain pen that made inkwells and dip
Waterman improved on earlier fountain pen designs by including a nib and
feed mechanism that produced a steady flow of ink. He founded the Ideal
Pen Company (later the L.E. Waterman Company) in New York in 1884, to
manufacture his pen while he continued to improve its design. In
addition to being functionally superior, Waterman pens were
well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing; some had gold and silver
overlays, others were studded with gems. A Waterman pen won the Medal of
Excellence at the Paris World Exposition in 1900.
By 1901, Waterman was selling 1,000 pens per day. They remained popular
until the Great Depression made them an impractical luxury for many.
After World War II, disposable ballpoint pens came to dominate the
industry. Nonetheless, high-quality Waterman fountain pens are still
made today in a wide variety of styles.
Waterman was born in Decatur, New York. With only five years of
schooling, he worked as a teacher, carpenter, and book salesman before
becoming an insurance agent. He is said to have vowed to invent a better
writing instrument when an inferior pen leaked on an important insurance
contract, delaying him long enough that he lost the client.

Eye Lymphoma Symptoms
The most common symptoms for eye lymphoma include:
- blurry vision
- decrease or loss of vision
- floaters (seeing small dots or lines in your field of vision)
- redness or swelling in the eye
- being extra sensitive to light
- eye pain (though this is rare)
Lymphoma usually affects both eyes, though the symptoms may be more obvious in one eye.
Who is at risk for eye lymphoma?
People at risk for getting eye lymphoma include those who:
- have rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune diseases
- have certain medical problems that affect their immune system
- have AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)
- are taking certain medications to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ
People without any of these risk factors can still develop eye lymphoma.

This study aimed at estimating a health production function for East Mediterranean Region (EMR) based on the Grossman theoretical model. Methods This ecological study was performed using the econometric methods. The panel data model was used in order to determine the relationship between life expectancy and socioeconomic factors. The data for 21 EMR countries between 1995 and 2007 were used. Fixed-effect-model was employed to estimate the parameters based on Hausman test. Results In estimating the health production function, factors such as income per capita (β=0.05, P<0.001), education index (β=0.07, P<0.001), food availability (β=0.01, P<0.001), level of urbanisation (β=0.10, P<0.001), and employment ratio (β=0.11, P<0.001) were specified as determinants of health status, proxied by life expectancy at birth. A notable result was the elasticity of life expectancy with respect to the employment rate and its significance level was different between males (β=0.13, P<0.001) and females (β=0.08, P>0.001). Conclusion In order to improve the health status in EMR countries, health policymakers should focus on the factors which lie outside the healthcare system. These factors are mainly associated with economic growth and development level. Thus, the economic stabilisation policies with the aim of increasing the productivity, economic growth, and reducing unemployment play significant roles in the health status of the people of the region.}, keywords = {Health Production Function,Healthcare System,Life Expectancy,Eastern Mediterranean Region,Panel Data Model}, url = {_URL_ eprint = {_URL_ }

What happens when we have three or multiple deep closure? I mean, when we have such kind of code:
/**
* @param {Number} personId
* @return {Object}
* Has method logPersonId that logs parameter
*/
getSingeltonObject = (function(){
 //scope0
 var singeltonObject;
 return function(personId){
 //scope1
 if(!singeltonObject){
 singeltonObject = {
 logPersonId : function(){
 console.log(personId);
 }
 }
 }
 return singeltonObject;
 }
})();
At first glance everything is OK, but there is a bug:
getSingeltonObject(1).logPersonId(); // 1 will be logged
getSingeltonObject(123).logPersonId(); //still 1 will be
 //logged instead of 123 :) why?
Because the function logPersonId is defined once, it caches the scope1 and at that time the parameter personId equals to 1. During the second call logPersonId is already defined and it has cached scope1 when personId was equal to 1 and it still "remembers" it. That is why in both calls value 1 was logged.
What is solution? scope0. We have to update personId in scope0 by creating a new variable in it (for example newPersonId) and assigning it personId everytime the getSingeltonObject is called. The code will look like this:
getSingeltonObject = (function(){
 //scope0
 var singeltonObject, newPersonId;
 return function(personId){
 //scope1
 newPersonId = personId;
 if(!singeltonObject){
 singeltonObject = {
 logPersonId : function(){
 console.log(newPersonId); //newPersonId
 //will be found in scope0 and it will
 //equal to parameter of getSingeltonObject
 //function every time.
 }
 }
 }
 return singeltonObject;
 }
})();
This was a little about JavaScript closure and its complexity.
What is orapwd?
Orapwd is the Oracle utility to create password file. The syntax is the following:
orapwd file=file_name
password=password for SYS
[entries=number_of_users]
[force=Y/N]
[ignorecase=Y/N]
[nosysdba=Y/N]
Where,
file– is the password file name. If you do not indicate the full path, then file will be created in the current directory.
password-is the password for sys user.
entries– is the maximum number of users that can be granted sysdba or sysoper privileges.
force-if the value of this parameter is Y then the existing password file will be overwritten.
ignorecase– password will be case insensitive.
Note: parameters that are enclosed by '[' and ']' are optional.
For example:
 orapwd file= pwdorcl password=sys entries=20
Explanation:
Password file, called pwdorcl.ora, will be created in the current directory. The password for sys user will be sys and maximum 20 users can be granted sysdba or sysoper privileges.
Note: Default location of the password file on Windows is %ORACLE_HOME%\database\ and name is pwd%ORACLE_SID%.ora ….. On Linux $ORACLE_HOME\dbs and name orapw$ORACLE_SID. If you do not consider this you will get error: ORA-01017
In addition to password file creation:
The initialization parameter remote_login_passwordfile must be set to the appropriate value:
 - None: means that Oracle will behave like that the password file doesn't exist. Which will cause that no privileged connections will be allowed over nonsecure connections.
 - Exclusive: means that the password file will be used with the only one database instance. Setting this value gives the ability to grant/revoke sysdba or sysoper privileges to/from users(Note that granting or revoking privs. causes the password file modifications). It also enables you to change password of SYS user with ALTER USER command. It is the default value.
 - Shared: It is used by multiple DBs, which are running on the same server, or with RAC. Setting this value prohibits you from changing the password file. If you try to change the password file generates the error. To make available to modify this file, first change this parameter to exclusive, modify file and change it back to the share value.
To see how many users are added to the password file run the following command:
select *
from v$pwfile_users
–My output is the following
USERNAME |SYSDBA |SYSOPER
SYS |TRUE |TRUE
Deleting password file
To remove the password file, first delete it and then set the initialization parameter remote_login_passwordfile to none. After that, the users that can authenticate by the operating system will be able to connect to the database as sysdba/sysoper.

That is all! 🙂
How to Create Database Link in sql server 2005
Database link can be done in oracle(click here to see how).But if we want to do it in SQL server 2005 we should use linked servers.
Permissions to connect linked sever:
Port: 1433 must be open.
Create linked server:
1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.
Run SQL Server Management Studio
2. In the Connect to Server dialog box, specify the name of SQL Server, and click Connect.
3.In SQL Server Management Studio, double-click Server Objects, right-click Linked Servers, and then click New Linked Server.
Create New Linked Server in SQL server
4. Click General, choose SQL Server option ,type the name of sql server in Linked server field
General->choose SQL Server option
5. Click Security , Choose Be made using the security context, fill Remote login and With password fields and click OK
Security->Be made using the security context option(SQL server)
6. The syntax to query data from linked server is the following:
select *
from [server name].[database name].[owner name].[table name]
–In our case
select *
from [LINKED_SQLSERVER_NAME].[database name].[owner name].[table name]
JavaScript shorthands
Let's talk about shortening JavaScript code. Browser has to parse JavaScript source code every time when it is used in a web page, because JavaScript is a scripting language and the browser gets raw source code as a text. So, code shortening gives the following benefits:
 - Less amount of bytes will be downloaded from the server, which means that the download time will be shorter.
 - Browser parsing phase will take less time
 - Code will be written/read faster and so on.
That's why shortening code is good. Now let's talk about how and when code can be shortened:
Explanation
Longer Version Shorter Version
1. Shortening the function Boolean. This function takes one parameter and returnes Boolean type value true if that parameter is truthy and returns false otherwise.
Boolean(value)
!!value
2. Shortening the function Number. This function takes one parameter, converts it to number value and returns it.
Number(value)
+value
3. This is very useful shorthand. Often we need to get one or another value and one of them has more priority than another(in this case foo has more priority). Often this shorthand is used with default values:
prop = value || defaultValue;
if(foo){
 return foo;
}else{
 return bar;
}
foo || bar
4. This is opposite case than previous: We want to take the second variable if first is defined (or truthy) and we want the first variable if it is not defined (or falsy).
if(foo){
 return bar;
}else{
 return foo;
}
foo && bar

10 Things to Do: Ponce, Puerto Rico
By Leani García
Located on the southern coast, Ponce—La Perla del Sur (the Pearl of the South)—is Puerto Rico's second-largest city. Founded in 1692 by Juan Ponce de León y Loayza, the legendary Spanish explorer's great-grandson, Ponce's museums and colonial buildings date to when it was Spain's capital for the island's southern region.
1. Stroll through Plaza las Delicias. Constructed in 1670, the Plaza of Delights is the heart of Ponce's historic zone. Visit the city's oldest colonial building, the Casa Alcaldía (City Hall), cool off at the Fuente...


text: Thermal stress can induce birefringence in a laser medium, which can cause depolarization of the laser. The depolarization effect will be very severe in a high-average-power laser. Because the depolarization will make the frequency doubling efficiency decline, it should be compensated. In this paper, the thermal characteristics of two kinds of materials are analyzed in respect of temperature, thermal deformation and thermal stress. The depolarization result from thermal stress was simulated. Depolarization on non-uniform pumping was also simulated, and the compensation method is discussed.

Two Aces (playing cards)
Cards seems to be among the favourite methods for casting I Ching hexagrams so I started thinking about other ways to use them.
A big advantage of cards is that they are easily available everywhere and also that there are a variety of decks that are both beautifully designed and inspirational. I believe it's rather easy to find a couple of cards that fits nicely with your way of consulting the I Ching.
The method presented here is very easy to remember and can be adapted to many different type of cards: standard bridge cards, regional cards, tarots, etc.
It needs two cards for wich you can distinguish the orientation (up or down). In the presentation of the method I will use the Ace of Spades and the Ace of Hearts that (in the most common decks) have a clear orientation. Proceed as follows:
 1. Shuffle the two cards rotating them independently while shuffling (very important!)
 2. Turn the cards and look at the topmost one:
 - If it's the Ace of Spades, draw ;
 - If it's the Ace of Hearts, draw ;
 3. If the two cards are both oriented upward, it's a moving line;
 4. Repeat steps 1-3 other five times drawing the hexagram from the bottom to the top.
The image below shows all the possible outcomes:
Counting from the image above, it's easy to see that this method has exactly the same probabilities as the three coins method:
Prob(6) = Prob(9) = 1/8 = 12.5%
Prob(8) = Prob(7) = 3/8 = 37.5%
Any cards that have a definite orientation will do. Here is an example with the classical tarot of Marseille (the Sun has been assigned to yang, the Moon to yin):

Career highlights and awards
Bernhard "Barney" Dreyfuss (February 23, 1865 – February 5, 1932) was an executive in Major League Baseball who owned the Pittsburgh Pirates franchise from 1900 to his death.
He is often credited with the creation of the modern baseball World Series. He also built one of baseball's first modern steel and concrete baseball parks, Forbes Field, in 1909. During his period of ownership, the Pirates won six National League pennants and World Series titles in 1909 and 1925; only the New York Giants won more NL championships (10) during the same period.
Early years[edit]
Dreyfuss was born in Freiburg, Grand Duchy of Baden in 1865. He attended school in Freiburg and later worked in a bank in nearby Karlsruhe. At the age of 16, he emigrated in 1881 to the US to escape conscription into the German Army. At the time, his prospects of being drafted into the military was high, and as a young Jew, his potential for advancement there was low. Dreyfuss's father, Samuel Dreyfuss (_PHONE_), was actually an American citizen since 1861, who had returned to Germany at the outbreak of the Civil War. Samuel Dreyfuss had made a fortune selling spirits to the Native Americans.[citation needed]
Once in America, Barney Dreyfuss lived and worked with the Bernheim family in Paducah, Kentucky. The Bernheims were relatives of his grandfather, Leon Bernheim. In 1888, he moved with the Bernheim family to Louisville, Kentucky. Dreyfuss arrived knowing little English, but he became a quick learner. In just a few years, he rose from being a clerk to an officer of Bernheim Brothers, the creator of I. W. Harper bourbon.
Louisville Colonels[edit]
Dreyfuss enjoyed the game of baseball. He fueled his interest by organizing amateur baseball teams first for the distillery workers, then semi-pro clubs around Louisville. In 1889 the distillery expanded into larger quarters of Louisville. Dreyfuss quickly used the increased profits to buy a piece of the Louisville Colonels of the American Association. The team won the league pennant in 1890 against the Brooklyn Bridegrooms (today's Los Angeles Dodgers). However, the American Association fell apart in 1891. As a result, Dreyfess moved the Colonels into the National League.
One of his best decisions was hiring a local city editor and educated lawyer, Harry Clay Pulliam, to serve as his club secretary; he later appointed Pulliam president. When Dreyfess immigrated to America, it was Pulliam who taught him how to speak English. However Pulliam's greatest contribution to Colonels occurred when he convinced Dreyfuss to sign future Hall of Famer Honus Wagner to the team.
For much of the 1890s, the Colonels were in last place in the National League. In 1899, Dreyfess paid $50,0000 to acquire full ownership of the Colonels. By this time, however, the National League contracted several teams after the 1899 season and Dreyfuss purchased a half-interest in the Pittsburgh Pirates. As part of the deal, he negotiated the transfer of the best Louisville players, namely Wagner, Fred Clarke, Tommy Leach, Deacon Phillippe, and Rube Waddell to Pittsburgh. To pull off this deal, Dreyfuss accepted an option to purchase an interest in the Pirates, then traded the best of the Colonel's players to the Pirates; he then used this leverage to buy out his partners. The Colonels' president, Harry Pulliam, also left for the Pirates with Dreyfuss and became the team's president.
Pittsburgh Pirates[edit]
In Pittsburgh, Honus Wagner soon emerged as the National League's biggest star. The Pirates then won NL pennants in 1901, 1902, and 1903.
World Series[edit]
However a bidding war was taking place between the National League and the upstart American League. Dreyfess was victorious in attempt to keep the new league out of Pittsburgh. However he knew that the bidding war needed to end for the leagues to be properous. In 1903, Dreyfuss brokered the peace treaty that recognized two major leagues. It also instituted a single set of rules, established agreements with the minor leagues, set up cooperative scheduling, and recognized each league's rights to its own players. To cash in on the peace between the leagues, an agreement with terms was created by Dreyfuss and Boston Pilgrims' (today's Boston Red Sox) owner Henry Killilea to create the modern World Series. Although his Pirates would lose to the Boston Pilgrims 5 games to 3, the games proved to be a success. Dreyfuss further cemented his reputation by adding his own share of the gate receipts to the players' winnings.
Forbes Field[edit]
At the end of the 1908 season, Dreyfuss decided it was time that Pittsburgh had a new, larger stadium for its growing fan base and winning team. The team's current field, Exposition Park, was made of wood and so close to the banks of the Allegheny River that the outfield regularly flooded after heavy rains.[1] Meanwhile across the state in Philadelphia, Philadlephia Athletics owners Ben Shibe and Connie Mack had decided to build a steel and concrete venue for their team. Dreyfuss, with no intention of being one-upped, began the construction of Forbes Field.
The new stadium was built in the city's Oakland district and was named after John Forbes, the French and Indian War general who captured Fort Duquesne in 1758 and renamed it Fort Pitt. Dreyfuss purchased seven acres of land near the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, adjacent to Schenley Park, with assistance from his friend, industrialist Andrew Carnegie.[2] The low-priced land was selected so Dreyfuss could spend more on the stadium itself.[2] Dreyfuss signed a contract that he would "make the ballpark... of a design that would harmonize with the other structures in the Schenley Park district."[3] The site was initially labeled "Dreyfuss's Folly" due to its long distance—a 10-minute trolley ride—from downtown Pittsburgh; however, the land around the park developed and criticisms were dropped.[2][4] Official Pirates' records show that Forbes Field cost US$1 million for site acquisition and construction, but some estimates place the cost at twice that amount.[4][5]
The new park opened on June 30, 1909, and Dreyfess personally shook hands with the fans as they entered through the gates. The crowd for the stadium's inaugural game included Pittsburgh Mayor William A. Magee, Harry Pulliam (now the National League President), and Congressman John K. Tener, a former Major League player who was soon to become the Governor of Pennsylvania. While Pirates did lose the their first game at Forbes to the Chicago Cubs, they did go on to win the 1909 World Series later that year, over the Detroit Tigers.
1910 to 1932[edit]
In 1912, Dreyfuss became one of the major stockholders of Welte & Sons Inc. However he was still involved in every decision made involving the Pirates. Under his leadership, the Pirates won two more National League pennants and the 1925 World Series over the Washington Senators. He successfully helped fight off the Federal League in 1914 and 1915, and then helped form the commission that investigated the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. He also worked to abolish the three-man commission that ran the National League in favor of appointing a baseball commissioner, a post to be occupied by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. He also worked to outlaw "freak" pitches such as the spitball, and he was a force in ridding the game of gambling.
Pittsburgh Stars[edit]
In 1902, Dreyfuss and Pittsburgh Pirates minority owner William Chase Temple were suspected of being the secret owners to the Pittsburgh Stars, a professional American football team in the first National Football League. Both men denied any connection to the Stars' finances, as well as being the team's true owners. While the team's owner on paper, David Berry, insisted that he was the team's sole owner, it was impossible for him to afford the money to finance the team without the backing of Temple or Dreyfuss. The Stars would go on to win the 1902 NFL championship.[6]
Dreyfuss died on February 5, 1932,[7] at age 66 in New York City


Tolkien Gateway
Revision as of 17:19, 20 June 2006 by Narfil Palùrfalas (Talk | contribs)
Some miles to the east of the Firien Wood, there was a wide, shallow recess in the foothills of the White Mountains. Overlooking this region were two of the Beacon-hills of Gondor, Min-Rimmon to the east and Calenhad to the west. Calenhad was the sixth of the seven beacons, within sight of the last of the beacons on the Halifirien, above the borders of Rohan.
Tolkien never gives us the meaning of the name Calenhad directly, but it seems to come from Elvish root-words meaning something like 'green mound'. The name may be connected with Calenardhon, the ancient Gondorian name for the land later known as Rohan, whose borders lay just a few miles from the feet of the hill.

A new concept of a transmission technique for the characterization of porous material is presented. It is based on the accurate modeling of the sound field above the layer of material that rests on an horizontal infinite baffle. The sound field is generated by a waveguide mounted vertically under the baffle with its termination flush to the baffle. The waveguide is assumed to create a uniform distribution of particle velocity at the termination. The field in the material is expressed using a Green's function that accounts for the multiple reflections on the baffle and at the upper surface of the material. The field above the material is formulated in terms of the pressure gradient distribution over the upper surface. Starting with the boundary conditions at the upper surface (continuity of the sound pressure and normal particle velocity), the collocation method is used to solve for the pressure gradient at a mesh on this surface. This, in turn, allows one to calculate the sound pressure above the material and the transfer function between the volume velocity of the source and this sound pressure. Numerical results are presented, and the potential of this technique for the characterization of porous material is discussed.

Fix Bufferbloat on MikroTik without disabling FastTrack
Enable/Setup FQ-CoDel or CAKE SQM on RouterOS using Queue Tree
Bufferbloat is a problem for many of us gamers and users that need low latency internet just because the counters at the supermarket don't want to let someone with a single item to cut into the queue of people with multiple items in the cart.1
We aim to fix that problem by letting someone with a single item in the checkout lane cut though the line using Smart Queue Management (SQM).2
Bufferbloat!
FastTrack is a feature in MikroTik RouterOS that packets that are marked "fast-tracked" will bypass some of a processing in the router (firewall, connection tracking, etc.),3 this will reduce processing overhead and allow to have higher speeds achievable on the router.4
The problem is that FastTrack bypasses simple queues, which are used for SQM. Queue tree that are parented to global also bypasses FastTrack. We will instead use queue tree that are parented to interface and apply SQM there.
Take note that queue tree requires packet marks, so we set packet-mark to no-mark so packets without mark will go to the queue tree. Any packets that are marked will bypass the queue tree, requiring you to add the name of the mark in packet-mark= option.
There are 2 algorithms that we can use for SQM in MikroTik, Fair/Flow Queueing Controlled Delay (FQ-CoDel)5 and Common Applications Kept Enhanced (CAKE).6 You can use either of those, but I recommend using FQ-CoDel, since it is "fair" (got it?).
RouterOS v7.1 and up supports FQ-CoDel and CAKE.
Enabling Smart Queue Management
 1. Measure your internet speed on Speedtest.net and know your advertised speed on your ISP.
 Choose how much speed to sacrifice for SQM. Some people recommend 90% of speed,7 for example my internet is 250 Mbps, I will set max-limit to 225 Mbps, sacrificing 25 Mbps.
 But for my setup, I sacrifice 1 Mbps, so I set max-limit to 249 Mbps. Remember that max-limit must not be equal or higher than your internet speed, or else it will not work.
 For asymmetrical internet speed, specify max-limit depending on the upload and download speed. For example, upload speed is 50 Mbps, download speed is 100 Mbps, max-limit on upstream should be 49 Mbps, downstream should be 99 Mbps.
 2. Measure Bufferbloat on your internet using Waveform Bufferbloat Test to check for Bufferbloat before SQM has been enabled.
Fair/Flow Queueing Controlled Delay (FQ-CoDel)
 1. Add FQ-CoDel on Queue Types.
 /queue type add kind=fq-codel name=fq-codel
 2. Add Queue Tree on upstream (from your router going to the internet) by specifying the WAN interface in parent. My WAN interface is ether1. Set the max-limit to your chosen speed upstream, I chosen 249 Mbps, so it will be 249M.
 /queue tree add max-limit=249M name=queue-upload packet-mark=no-mark parent=ether1 queue=fq-codel
 3. Add Queue Tree on downstream (from the internet going to your router) by specifying the LAN interface in parent. My LAN interface is bridge. Set the max-limit to your chosen speed downstream, since I have symmetrical internet speed, it will be the same as upstream.
 /queue tree add max-limit=249M name=queue-download packet-mark=no-mark parent=bridge queue=fq-codel
 4. Measure Bufferbloat on your internet using Waveform Bufferbloat Test to check if there is any changes in latency after SQM has been enabled.
Common Applications Kept Enhanced (CAKE)
Configuration is the same with FQ-CoDel except the algorithm.
 1. Add CAKE on Queue Types.
 /queue type add kind=cake name=cake
 2. Add Queue Tree on upstream.
 /queue tree add max-limit=249M name=queue-upload packet-mark=no-mark parent=ether1 queue=cake
 3. Add Queue Tree on downstream.
 /queue tree add max-limit=249M name=queue-download packet-mark=no-mark parent=bridge queue=cake

I've only found a way to merge the points from a single technique with their corresponding images with "Import Technique". This will leave me with two image mappings of the same image, the one I already had, and the newly imported ones with its points from the selected technique. The problem is that I can't merge the newly imported image with all its points with the image I already had in my document.
How can I do this? (merge the data points from two different images)
And is it possible to merge the full XML file with another one? not just technique by technique.
Thank you very much for the program

Dear Alejandro,
If you want to import data from the same image the image has to have the same name in the two projects the "father" one and the one you are importing. This way the software recognize that the points belong to an already existing image.
If you import the points from an image that does not exist in the "father" project the software will create the image object and the link to the points. However you will have to remember to copy the image into the "father" project. Otherwise MOVIDA will search for it and it will not find it and you will get an Image that says something like "no Image found" with all the points. If you then copy the image to the correct path and reopen the project MOVIDA should find it without problems.
If it doesn't work for you, you can send me the zipped files of your project folders and I will try to see what is wrong.
Best Regards,
Dr. Anna Amat

European Murder Rates Compared to the United States: Demographics vs Guns

Arizona – -( This has been one of my most popular articles. I wrote it a year ago and published it on the 3 January, 2013 and it is good to take alook again one year later.
It shows the fallacies of comparing murder rates in the United States to Europe.
Link: Homicide Rates Before Guns?
Yale Study Shows Culture the biggest factor in Homicide (2013)

About Dean Weingarten;
 - 7 thoughts on "European Murder Rates Compared to the United States: Demographics vs Guns
 1. The argument is often phrased as "gun violence" instead of simply "violence." A country that has less gun ownership may have less "gun violence" and yet have more violence overall. The victim does not care if he is robbed at knife point instead of gun point.
 2. I'm ok with this analysis. You could go even deeper with it and attribute the violence to blacks that are of Southern heritage. The South and particularly upper class Southerners value and respect violence as a means to resolve issues. Many Latin cultures have similar cultural values to the old South. Mexico is a culture that values the man on the horse for example, and glorifies violent drug gangsters or guy like Zapata that go down fighting. What is the connection between upper class violent Southern whites and lower class blacks? Easy black slaves adopted the values and vices of their masters including a propensity for violence and other traits such as living in debt, gambling, etc.
 3. There is certain something missing in your report. Its the fact that blacks and Hispanics are much more likely to grow up in poverty than whites. That is a major contributing factor that you have left out of your analysis. As such your analysis does not tell the whole story. A study on Income levels and gun violence would tell a m ore comprehensive story than a simple demographics model. Also if you take a group of people and remove them from poverty, you will likely see in at least some cases that after a few generations their murder (Whether by gun violence or other means) and crime rates would drop significantly to a level similar to what is for nonhispanic whites. If we are to reduce crime in the future we need to address the contributing factors to crime and poverty is a big one.
 1. Excuses for 'criminal behavior' are like 'azzholes', everybody has one! Morality is always left out of the equation.
 4. You are a racist. Your article was reprinted word for word from American Renaissance, a known racist organization. I could not find the DOJ report you referenced. The link went nowhere. You are also a liar and you disgust me!
 1. Wow didn't take long for a liberal to throw the race card. Childish response when facts don't agree with their world view and distorted reality. link works for me. If you look at FBI and USDOJ crime statistics (requires math skills and thinking skills beyond reciting party lines) they show the massive difference in crime/murder rates between races.

Winton, Burning of
Winton, the seat of Hertford County, was burned by Federal troops on 20 Feb. 1862. It was the first North Carolina town burned by Union forces during the Civil War and the only one burned completely. On 19 February a flotilla of eight Union gunboats steamed up the Chowan River. As the vessels approached Winton's wharf, Confederate artillery and infantry opened up from the river bluff, but the boats sustained no serious damage.
When the flotilla returned the next morning, Winton was deserted, but several buildings had clearly been used for Confederate billeting and storage. These were torched, resulting in a blaze that left only one small house standing. The Hertford County Courthouse had been destroyed in 1830, and virtually all records from 1830 to 1862 were consumed in this fire, along with several dozen houses, stores, and other buildings. The cooperation of Union army and navy forces in the action constituted one of the first amphibious operations in the history of the American military.

The Sultan Ibrahim Solar PV Park is envisioned to be South-East Asia's largest solar energy storage system
by AUFA MARDHAH & ZAHIN ZAILANI
WITH its proposed location in the Pengerang Industrial Park (PIP), the Sultan Ibrahim Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Park, a 450-megawatt (MW) solar PV power project, is envisioned to be South-East Asia's largest solar energy storage system.
The project is Johor's crown jewel into large-scale sustainable energy, which will promote a green economy as well as the state's first-ever major private investment following Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar's persistent efforts to bring investment and development to boost the socioeconomic standing of Johoreans.
"We have a suitable plot for the project, robust growth and development, as well as a healthy demand from our neighbour, which makes Johor the most strategic location," Sultan Ibrahim said in a Facebook post.
The Sultan added that the construction of the project will have a healthy spillover effect by creating jobs for Johor citizens at various levels.
At the time of writing, the project is still in the permitting stage and expected to get commissioned at the cost of RM1.4 billion.
Johor currently relies predominantly on coal and gas as sources of energy for electricity generation.
Potential as Solar Energy Production Hub
Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) senior research fellow Dr Shankaran Nambiar highlighted the importance of the solar farm project, first suggested by Sultan Ibrahim in 2021, in line with Malaysia's dedication to sustainability and advancement of alternative energy sources that are not reliant on fossil fuel.
Emphasising the vast potential of unused land in Johor, he also underscored the opportunity for the state to emerge as central hub for solar energy production, with the possibility of exporting surplus energy to neighbouring Singapore.
Apart from that, he anticipated that the development of the solar farm would stimulate job creation and foster the emergence of new technical skills in the region.
Moreover, he envisaged a ripple effect, wherein ancillary industries such as solar panel manufacturing could flourish, further bolstering economic activity within the state.
In terms of the benefit of the solar farm towards South-East Asia, he said the project is poised to have significant economic implications for both Malaysia and the broader South-East Asian region.
With Malaysia positioned as a hub for energy generation, the establishment of the solar farm will enable the country to harness its abundant solar resources to produce clean energy at scale.
This increased capacity for energy generation not only satisfies domestic demand but also positions Malaysia as a potential exporter of clean energy to neighbouring countries within the Asean region.
As a result, the nation gets to benefit from the enhanced economic opportunities from the exportation of clean energy, further solidifying its role as a key player in the regional energy landscape.
Additionally, the development of the solar farm reinforces Malaysia's commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, aligning with global efforts to transition towards renewable energy (RE) sources and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Regional Comparison of Solar Farms
To also put it in a global context, the Sultan Ibrahim Solar PV Park is about 60% of the output of India's Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Park, at 750MW.
The park is the 15th largest in the world and the implementation of the Johor's solar park would put it on the map upon completion.
The Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Park is located in Madhya Pradesh with a population of over 72.6 million compared to Johor's approximately four million population.
A solar plant with 60% output would be very high relative to its counterparts, which would bode well for its plans to sell excess energy to Singapore.
Other South-East Asian countries leading in this field are Thailand and the Philippines, encompassing the top 10 highest outputs of solar PV farm power in the region.
The Cadiz Solar Power Plant in the Philippines was commissioned in 2016, generating about 132.5MW of power, or 132,500 kilowatt-peak (kWp), and is the largest in the region.
It is followed by the EA Solar Lampang in Thailand with a power output of 128.4MW.
The third largest is EA Solar Nakornsawan, also in Thailand, and has an output of 126MW.
Meanwhile, there are about five solar farms across Malaysia, all with various installation capacities.
The smallest, located in Sungai Petani, Kedah, has an installed capacity of 1,764kW. (1,000kW = 1MW.)
The construction of the Sultan Ibrahim Solar PV Park will make it the largest by far in South-East Asia. To compare, an output of 450MW would mean more than that of the top three largest solar farms in the region.
According to the data compiled by The Malaysian Reserve (TMR), along with the EA Solar Nakornsawan, located in Nakhon Sawan, Thailand (126MW), the combined output of the top three would yield about 387MW, which means that the Johor solar farm would lead by 63MW more.
Advancement of Solar Technology
Given the anticipated increase in energy production from the Sultan Ibrahim Solar PV Park, the project is expected to attract significant attention.
Universiti Malaya Power Energy Dedicated Advanced Centre's Prof Ir Dr Nasrudin Abd Rahim said solar farm industry players are strategically adapting to address Malaysia's growing demand for clean and RE sources.
To remain responsive to evolving market needs, he said these players must stay informed of both current and future trends in RE technology and its applications.
By remaining vigilant about emerging developments, solar power industry stakeholders can identify new ideas and innovative solutions that offer boundless potential.
One such captivating innovation is the integration of solar power into electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, promoting cleaner transportation options.
Additionally, industry players are exploring the potential of green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis powered by solar energy, as another avenue for sustainable energy generation.
Nevertheless, innovations in the solar industry are driving advancements in energy storage and grid integration, leading to a more reliable power supply.
Nasrudin said one notable innovation is the adoption of smart grid technology, which enables more efficient management and distribution of solar energy.
By integrating solar energy into smart grids, grid stability and energy efficiency are enhanced, allowing for bidirectional electricity flow.
This means that surplus solar energy generated can be seamlessly fed back into the grid, optimising utilisation and reducing wastage.
Furthermore, the increasing utilisation and development of RE sources connected to the electric grid underscore the importance of energy storage technologies.
These technologies play a crucial role in mitigating intermittent power disparities by storing excess or unused energy and supplying it when needed, thereby stabilising power production and meeting energy demand more effectively.
As Malaysia's solar energy industry continues to expand rapidly, he highlighted that there is a concerted effort to address the growing demand for skilled professionals through targeted initiatives aimed at training and upskilling the workforce.
These initiatives encompass a broad spectrum of roles within the solar energy sector, ranging from solar module installers to project managers, design engineers, competent engineers and research scientists.
To meet the diverse needs of the industry, Nasrudin said various educational institutions, including technical colleges, vocational schools, polytechnics and universities, are offering specialised programmes and certifications.
These are commonly available at technical colleges and vocational schools, while polytechnics and universities offer diplomas and degrees.
For professionals seeking advanced specialisation and research opportunities, universities also provide master's and doctoral degrees tailored to the specific requirements of the solar energy industry.
Looking ahead, Malaysia's position in the RE sector on the global stage appears promising, particularly with solar power emerging as one of the most reliable and sustainable energy sources.
"The future of solar power looks bright with continual advancements in technology and a growing awareness of environmental concerns driving the demand for clean energy alternatives," he told TMR.
With the nation's targets outlined in the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), he believed that Malaysia is poised to establish itself as a significant player in the global RE sector.
By 2050, RE is projected to constitute the majority of installed capacity, with solar PV installations leading the charge.
As part of Malaysia's goal to achieve a 70% RE share by 2050, an estimated 59 gigawatts (GW) of solar PV capacity is anticipated to be installed, underscoring the country's commitment to sustain- able energy development and its potential to become a key contributor to the global RE landscape.
Concerns On Nation's Energy Transition Decisions
Beyond the aim of becoming South-East Asia's largest solar energy storage system and concurrently promoting a green economy, a concern arises regarding a holistic ecosystem of a just transition.
Ili Nadiah Dzulfakar from Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY) emphasised the importance of fairness in Malaysia's transition from fossil fuel-dependent projects to low-carbon initiatives.
She underscored the need to prioritise the welfare of workers, especially amid efforts to attract increased investments in RE and associated projects.
The surge in demand for manpower begs the question of where will these workers come from.
Ili Nadiah acknowledged that labour resources will originate from various channels, including newcomers to the RE sector.
However, she highlighted the significance of considering individuals from economies deeply entrenched in fossil fuels, ensuring that they do not lose their competitive edge as they transition to emerging fields.
Consequently, she emphasised the necessity of developing strategies to effectively harness their expertise.
As Malaysia navigates this transition, she stressed the importance of inclusivity within the RE sector, emphasising the need to provide ample job opportunities for all.
Additionally, she urged the

The state is spending more than $1 million to jumpstart technologies aimed at removing phosphorus from the environment. The money will go to five projects, selected as part of the state's "phosphorus innovation challenge," designed to capture the pollutant and make it into a marketable product.
Phosphorus is an essential element plant and animals need to grow, but too much phosphorus running off into Vermont's waterways acts as a fertilizer and fuels toxic algae blooms.
The state has a huge phosphorus surplus: Vermont releases about 1,500 tons of excess phosphorus a year, according to Agency of Natural Resources Secretary Julie Moore.
More from VPR — Vermont's 'Jewels' Under Threat: Clearest, Cleanest Lakes Face Phosphorus Pollution [Aug. 5]
The state's phosphorus innovation challenge was announced back in February 2018. These five recently selected projects will make a dent, Moore said, but won't cut all the excess phosphorus out of Vermont's environment.
"Ultimately we need to be able to get that 1,500 tons down to zero, or ideally maybe a small negative number, to achieve our overall water quality goals," Moore said. "The scope and scale of these projects, while operating at a commercial scale, we don't believe collectively will be able to achieve that full 1,500 tons reduction."
But Moore said she's hopeful that if these businesses grow, they could ultimately lead to significant phosphorus reductions.
"To the extent they continue to prove successful environmentally but also economically [there's] opportunity to scale them up further with that 1,500-ton goal in mind," she said.
"Ultimately we need to be able to get that 1,500 tons [of excess phosphorus] down to zero, or ideally maybe a small negative number, to achieve our overall water quality goals." — ANR Secretary Julie Moore
Agrilab Technologies, in Enosburg Falls, was one of the state's five winners and received a $320,200 grant. Company founder Brian Jerose is working on ways to concentrate phosphorus from cow manure, add other material and turn it into compost that can be sold.
Jerose said he was inspired to work on the project in part because his family has experienced Lake Champlain water pollution.
"I've had my wife and daughters and I not be able to swim at times because of algae blooms in parts of northern Lake Champlain," Jerose said. "With that in mind, it's been really motivating to get involved to try to think of other ways beyond just regulatory compliance and the voluntary best management practices, to think of other ways that we can make a bigger dent — and a faster dent — in some of these phosphorus issues."
In addition to Agrilab Technologies, four other winners were announced Thursday at Gov. Phil Scott's weekly news conference:
- The University of Vermont and DVO Inc. of Chilton, Wisconsin — This project got a $500,00 grant to use enhanced anaerobic digesters on dairy farms to produce a phosphorus "cake" that is high in phosphorus and other nutrients. The material will then be marketed as a soil amendment or fertilizer.
- Green State Biochar in Barton, Vermont — The company will use a $135,000 grant to build a larger kiln to produce biochar that will then be used in various filtration systems to capture phosphorus that can then be reused.
- Digested Organics in Ann Arbor, Michigan — The $137,500 grant will fund a mobile filtration system capable of processing manure from about 100 dairy cows. The mobile unit could move from farm to farm.
- Village of Essex Junction, UVM and Chittenden Solid Waste District — The $58,907 grant will help fund technology designed to enhance phosphorus removal from wastewater.


Legal Maxim
Home » Persona Non Grata
Literal meaning
Person not welcome
This maxim has evolved in the field of diplomatic relations and such a declaration means that the foreign diplomat is unwelcome in that country; he is not permitted to enter or continue to stay in a particular country. Just as the principle of diplomatic immunity provides protection to the State sending the diplomat, this principle of persona non grata safeguards the interests of the receiving State. Such a statement could be given either before the diplomat even arrives at the receiving state, or after he has started carrying out his functions. Therefore, not every statement results in the diplomat's expulsion, but if it does, it has to be in conformity with Article 41 of the Vienna Convention, 1961.
State X sends a diplomat to State Y. Due to war, or severed relations between the States, or due to some offense committed by the diplomat, State X can issue a statement declaring the diplomat to be persona non grata (unwelcome) to their State.
In 2016, Surjeet Singh an Indian national was declared persona non grata by the Government of Pakistan. This happened shortly after the Government of India detained a Pakistani diplomat before his expulsion, thereby causing a violation of the Vienna Convention of 1961. Therefore, this incident was on account of the strained relations between the two states. This case led to his expulsion from the country.
In 2014, Devyani Khobragade incident occurred; she was an Indian diplomat in New York. She was accused of stating false information to enter the country, and committing visa fraud for her servant. Upon request, India refused to waive its immunity and charge the diplomat in the Court. Hence, the United States applied this principle and declared her an unwanted diplomat, leading to her expulsion from the country.
In 2013, Jagmeet Singh, was a Canadian MPP, was barred from traveling to India by application of this principle. He was the first sitting member from a Western Legislature, whose visa was canceled for travel to India. This was primarily based on the accusation that he was linked to the Khalistan Extremists settled in Canada, who had bombed Air Flight 182 causing a deadly incident.
This maxim has been written and submitted by Ms. Ayushi Goyal during her course of internship at B&B Associates LLP. Ms. Ayushi is a 4th-year law student at Christ University, Bangalore.

Pressure scanner aids development and testing of aerodynamics and propulsion systems
A new digital pressure scanner, the DSA5000, has been introduced by US manufacturer Scanivalve after spending two years in the development process.
The results of the development activity at Scanivalve is a versatile, self-contained data acquisition system, which is both rugged and fully-customisable with a range of electrical and pneumatic interface options, making it ideal for use in a wide range of applications such as gas turbine testing, flight test, wind engineering and other industrial and defence industry applications. The user-friendly interface also offers straightforward operation in small projects in education, research and test house facilities where low channel counts are required.
Each channel uses a dedicated pressure sensor, with all data acquisition, data conversion and communications being handled on-board. Uniquely, the DSA5000 makes use of an individual 24-bit A/D converter and RTD for each sensor allowing fully, truly synchronous, data collection. Data can be delivered at rates of up to 5,000Hz per channel in a wide variety of engineering units.
A new and interesting form of connectivity was also developed specifically for the DSA5000 using an innovative ring-architecture capability in which multiple DSA5000s can be connected together through miniature Ethernet connectors. This delivers a fully integrated, multi-drop architecture, industrial network configuration for pressure scanning instrumentation.
Using this architecture creates an isolated, mini-network where the "master" unit serves as a single point of communications for all scanners in the mini-network. Scanners are automatically identified, easily configured and accurately synchronised. Data from all scanners are merged to provide a single output data file with pressure and temperature values from all of the connected Scanivalve 5000 series scanners.
The smart, fast and highly accurate DSA5000 hasn't had its sensitivity compromised for use in extreme environments with the instrument having been cased in an IP67 rated aluminium container, which is rugged and lightweight, with an option to install a self-controlled internal heater which allows operation in ambient temperatures as low as -50°C. The DSA5000 can also be fitted with an optional shock-mount kit, which has been tested to MIL-STG 810G Cat. 24, 514.6.
Offering a multitude of pressure ranges from 4"H2O (0.18psi) to 1,000psi (at launch) in several pneumatic configurations means a DSA5000 can be configured for low pressure aerodynamic tests, high pressure compressor tests, and everything in-between.
Aircraft are extensively tested and designs are validated before production can begin. Testing begins with computer-based modelling, such as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), followed by wind tunnel and laboratory testing. Finally, all aircraft must be tested under "real-world" flight conditions. Instrumentation used to gather and record the test data must not only be rugged and compact, but also able to withstand extreme temperature, shock and vibration.
Aerodynamic testing in aerospace has a unique set of challenges. When in flight testing, the scanner must be able to operate consistently at extreme temperatures.
Whether the DSA5000 is used in the wind tunnel or on aircraft for measurement and validation, it provides valuable data to help produce higher performance, safer and more efficient aircraft.
According to Paul Crowhurst, Managing Director at Evolution Measurement, the instrument will be of significant benefit to the aerospace and defence industry as the world embarks on more advanced airframe and gas turbine engine development.
"Never before have we seen this level of capability in a pressure instrument and it is going to revolutionise aerodynamic development," he says.

ZwischengoldgläserArticle Free Pass
Zwischengoldgläser, (German: "gold between glasses"), drinking glasses decorated with engraving in gold leaf laminated between two pieces of glass. The term is usually applied to beakers, goblets, and tumblers produced in Bohemia during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, but examples have been found in Roman catacombs of the 3rd century. These early glasses were made as follows: The inner side of the bottom of the glass was covered with gold leaf and a design scratched through the gold. A disk of glass was then fused to the inside bottom, leaving the gold sandwiched between two layers of glass. The 17thand 18th-century technique was similar: Two glasses were made of identical shape, one slightly larger than the other. Gold leaf was applied to the outside of the smaller one and a design scratched on it; the smaller glass was then fitted into the larger and bonded to it. See also Mildner glass.

How to Adjust the Opacity of a Form's Background
How to Adjust the Opacity of a Form's Background
UPDATE: Now you can specify the transparency-level directly in our updated Form Designer.
Sometimes, instead of having the background of a form fully transparent or opaque, we would like something in between. For example, the form on this page has a black background whose opacity is set at 60%. The effect was accomplished by first setting the background to "transparent" via the form builder's Preferences and then injecting a special CSS rule. Here's a page containing a different form whose background has the same degree of opacity but a different color. This article explains how to edit the injected CSS to adjust both a form's background's opacity and color.
Here's the CSS that was injected into the first form.
The First Declaration
As you've probably guessed, "rgb" is short for "red green blue": the three primary colors. So "background:rgb(0, 0, 0);" simply means that the color of the background has no red, no green and no blue, making it black. Each parameter ranges from 0 to 255, meaning that 16,777,216 colors are possible (256 * 256 * 256).
The Second Declaration
This is similar to the first declaration, except that it includes a fourth parameter to set the opacity which ranges from 0.0 to 1.0. "0.0" is full transparency (same as no opacity) and "1.0" is no transparency (same as full opacity).
Declarations 3 to 5 (must be included to accommodate various versions of Internet Explorer)
There must be NO changes made to the third declaration: "background:transparent\9;" If you notice that the backslash before the 9 is missing when you return to the Form Styles tab of the Preferences, make sure you replace it before closing the Preferences. Save the form when done.
Declarations 4 and 5 each contain two identical hexadecimal values (each containing 4 pairs of alpha-numeric characters, excluding the hash symbol) that must be changed when adjusting the color and/or opacity of the background. Moreover, all four values must match each other. In each hexadecimal value, the first pair of characters set the opacity; the second pair, the red level; the third, the green level and the fourth, the blue level. You may have noticed that whereas in the second declaration, the opacity is set by the rightmost parameter, in these fourth and fifth parameters that property is set by the leftmost pair of characters. It's one of those gotchas of which one needs to be mindful.
For a consistent appearance across browsers, the opacity and color settings in the fourth and fifth declarations must be equivalent to those in the first and second declarations. (Of course, as stated earlier, the first declaration has no opacity setting.) There are several online tools to convert RGB values to their hexadecimal equivalents but here's a good one. As to converting the opacity in the second declaration to it's hexadecimal equivalent, the figure (there are nine of them: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3... 0.9) first needs to be multiplied by 255 and then the result entered into the "Decimal" box here. After entering the number, hit [Return] ([Enter]). The two characters that appear in the "hexadecimal" box are those that should replace the first pair of characters in the hexadecimal values in declarations 4 and 5. For your convenience, the conversions are listed below:
0.1 == 25
0.2 == 33
0.3 == 4C
0.4 == 66
0.5 == 7F
0.6 == 99
0.7 == B2
0.8 == CC
0.9 == E5
The two extremes of the scale ("0.0 == 00" and "1.0 == FF") were purposely omitted because the former produces full transparency which makes setting the color useless, while the latter produces full opacity negating the need to set the color with injected CSS (adjusting the background color via the "Background" box found on the same tab of the Preferences would be sufficient).
Armed with the above information, it should now be clear why altering the injected CSS in the first form to this should produce a form with a background like the second example.

Morfin Gaunt with his wand and knife during his nephew's visit.
This knife belonged to Morfin Gaunt. It was seen in 2 memories via Albus Dumbledore's Pensieve in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
The knife was first seen in Bob Ogden's memory during the first lesson between Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore. In the summer of 1925, Ogden was sent to summon Morfin to a hearing for attacking Tom Riddle Sr., a Muggle with a spell that covered his face in hives. As head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, visited the Gaunt shack to investigate Morfin's use of magic on a Muggle. Upon first meeting Ogden, Morfin held the knife brandished in one of his hands and with his wand making him cast a jinx that caused yellow pus to flow from Ogden's nose.
Morfin was seen using the knife again when he was threating to attack Ogden for firing a Revulsion Jinx at his father, Marvolo Gaunt when he was throttling his daughter Merope Gaunt when hearing that she was in love with the Muggle her brother attacked. It is unknown what happened to the knife when Morfin and his father were imprisoned in Azkaban, but when Morfin was released he had it in his possession again.
During Harry and Dumbledore's third lesson, the dove into Morfin's memory in which he meets his nephew (his sister's son), Tom Riddle who later became Lord Voldemort. Morfin held the knife up in his left hand and his wand on his right. Riddle entered the shack and at the very moment Morfin saw him, he thought it was his Muggle brother-in-law since Riddle resembled his father so much. He tried to attack Riddle but when he spoke in Parseltongue, Morfin stopped.
It is unknown what happened to the knife after Morfin was sent to Azkaban again after being wrongfully convicted by the Ministry of Magic for the deaths of the Riddle family where he later died, but it's possible he lost the knife forever.

The climate of Tabriz (Iran)
Tabriz is located in the northwestern part of Iran in the East
Azerbaijan province of which it also is the capital. It is also the
largest city in Iranian Azerbaijan. Tabriz is located in the vicinity
of the Talkhehrood River at the foot of the Sahand Massive. The city
played an important role in the founding and flourishing of Shiism.
The city used to be an important trading place because it was situated
on the Silk Route. Nowadays the city is still known for its
handcrafted carpets. These carpets are sold on the bazaar of Tabriz
which is among the largest and oldest bazaars in the world. The bazaar
has been a Unesco preservation site since 2010 . Many other beautiful
structures can be found in the city such as the Aji Chy bridge, the
Jameh mosque of Tabriz, the Ark-e Alish¬ah, the catholic church of
Tabriz and the blue mosque of Tabriz which was completely restored in
the 20th century. There are actually so many that the list seems
endless. Tabriz has a steppe climate with cold winters and pleasant
but very dry summers. Summers are dry but pleasant with average
temperatures of just above 30 degrees Celsius (86.0 degrees
Fahrenheit) winters are cool and may be even cold. The coldest
temperature on record is -17 degrees Celsius (1.40 degrees
Fahrenheit). Most precipitation falls during the winter. During the
coldest days of the year precipitation falls in the form of snow.
Tabriz gets 400 millimeters of annual precipitation on average.
The figures below are based on long term weather and climate records.
They are an average for Tabriz.
