and demand in week 1. We use this formula to calculate revenue for each value of demand in week 1: =UnitPrice*MIN(C29,InitInv) Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 1 -- continued: Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 1 -- continued Given these values we can calculate the mean revenue in week 1 by entering the formula =SUMPRODUCT(Revenues1,Probs1). Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 2: Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 2 The revenue in week 2 is the unit price multiplied by the number of units sold in week 2, and this latter quantity is the smaller of the beginning inventory in week 2 and the demand in week 2. The complex portion is that the inventory in week 2 depends on the demand in week1, because this demand determines how much (if any) is left at the end of week 1 and whether an order was placed. The analysis breaks down into three cases in which I0, D1 and RP denote beginning inventory in week 1, the demand in week 1, and the reorder point. Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 2 -- continued: Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 2 -- continued One of following occurs: If I0 -D1 < 0, the ending inventory in week 1 is 0, and an order is placed. This brings the beginning inventory in week 2 up to the 400 units (the order quantity). If 0< I0 -D1 < = RP, then positive inventory is on hand at the end of week 1, but demand in week 1 is large enough to trigger an order. Therefore, beginning inventory in week 2 is I0 -D1 plus the order quantity. If I0 -D1 > RP, no order is triggered, so the beginning inventory in week 2 equals the ending inventory in week 1, I0 -D1. Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 2 -- continued: Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 2 -- continued Putting all this together we can calculate the revenue in week 2 for each combination of week 1 and week 2 demands. The following formula should be copied into the range C37:G41 =UnitPrice*MIN($B37,IF(InitInv-C$36<=0,OrderQuan, IF(IntiInv-C$36<=ReorderPt,InitInv-C$36+OrderQuan,InitInv-C$36))) This formula is complex but it simply implements the logic on the previous slide with nested IF functions. Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 2 -- continued: Calculating Mean Revenue - Week 2 -- continued Next, we calculate the mean revenue in week 2 in the usual way, as a sum of products of possible revenues and their probabilities with the formula: =SUMPRODUCT(Revenues2,JtProbs) The one advantage to doing all this work is that now we can change any of the inputs in the shaded cells and the mean revenues will be recalculated automatically. Slide81: Weighted Sums of Random Variables INVEST.XLS: INVEST.XLS An investor has $100,000 to invest, and she would like to invest it in a portfolio of eight stocks. She has gathered historical data on the returns of these stocks and has used the data to estimate means, standard deviations and correlations for the stock returns. This file contains summary measures obtained from historical data. She believes they are also relevant for future returns. INVEST.XLS -- continued: INVEST.XLS -- continued The investor would like to analyze a portfolio of these stocks using certain investment amounts. What is the mean annual return from this portfolio? What are its variance and standard deviation? Input Data: Input Data Solution: Solution This is a typical weighted sum model. The random variables, the X's are the annual returns from the stocks; the weights, the a's are the dollar amounts invested in the stocks; and the summary measures of the X's are given in rows 12,13 and 17-24 of the input data. We can obtain the mean return from the portfolio in cell B49 by using the formula =SUMPRODUCT(Weights, Means) Solution -- continued: Solution -- continued We are not quite ready to calculate the variance of the portfolio return. The reason why is because we do not currently know the Var(Y). But these are related to standard deviations and correlation by Var(Xi) = (Stdev(Xi))2 Cov(Xi, Xj) = StDev(Xi) X Stdev(Xj) X Corr(Xi,Xj) Solution -- continued: Solution -- continued To calculate these in Excel, it is useful to create a column of standard deviations in Column L by using Excel's TRANSPOSE function. To do this highlight the range L12:L19 and type the formula =TRANSPOSE(Stedevs) and press Ctrl-Shift-Enter. Next we form a table of variances and covariances of the X's i the range B28:I35, using the formula =$L12*B$13*B17 in cell B28 and copying it to the range. Solution -- continued: Solution -- continued Finally, we need to calculate the portfolio variance in cell B50. To do this we form a table of terms needed and then sum these terms as in the following steps. Row of weights Enter the weights in row 38 by highlighting the range B38:I18 and typing the formula =Weights and pressing Ctrl-Enter. Column of weights Enter these same weights as a column in the range A39:A46 by highlighting the range, typing the formula =TRANSPOSE(Weights) and pressing Ctrl-Shift-Enter. Solution -- continued: Solution -- continued Table of terms Now use these weights and the covariances to fill in the table of terms required for the portfolio variance. To do so, enter the formula =$A39*B28*B$38 in cell B39 and copy it to the range B39:I46. Portfolio variance and standard deviation Calculate the portfolio variance in cell B50 with the formula =SUM(PortVarTerms). Then calculate the standard deviation of the portfolio return in cell B51 as the square root of the varince. The results are shown in the calculation on the next slide. Solution -- continued: Solution -- continued The standard deviation of approximately $11,200 is sizable. The standard deviation is th a measure of the portfolio's risk. Investors always want a large mean return, but they also want low risk. They realize though that often time the only way to obtain high men returns is to assume more risk.

is a brand of different flavour sweets
, which have a hole in the centre. The peppermint
flavoured polo was first manufactured in the United Kingdom
in 1948. The name 'Polo' is reportedly from the word 'Polar' and is to symbolize the cool and fresh feeling one gets from sucking a Polo.
Polo mints were introduced by Rowntree in 1948, and Polo fruits followed soon after.
Polo is still Britain's number one mint brand with approximately 20 million mints produced every day and an average of one hundred and fifty Polos eaten every second.
Over the years Rowntree and Nestlé
have come up with variations of the Original Polo mint. Some of these have been successes, whereas others have flopped. However, none have been as successful as the Original Polo mint.
- Spearmint: These Polos have a strong spearmint flavour and aroma. The original design of the sweets had turquoise flecks on them, however now they are simply clear white to reduce E numbers.
- Fruit: These Polos are fruit flavored and come in several flavours, all in one tube. These Polos are not mints but boiled fruits. Flavours included are strawberry, blackberry, orange, lemon, and lime.
- Polo Gummies: Fruit-flavoured soft gummy sweets in the polo shape.
- Sugar free: This is the sugar free version of the Original Polo containing sorbitol
- Polo Holes: Nestlé experimented with this variation for a while. It was the original Polo flavour in the shape of the hole from the middle of the sweet.
- Mini Strong Polos: These were tiny Polos (about 1 cm in diameter) with a strong minty flavour. They were packaged in a box shaped like a Polo Mint. They were also available in a not so successful orange flavour which is no longer available
- Smoothies: These creamy sweets came in flavours such as blackcurrant, sunshine fruits and strawberry.
- Citrus: Lemon flavoured Polos
- Butter Mint Polos: These were butter mint flavoured
- Ice: These flavour Polos came in a shiny blue wrapper, and had a cooler mint taste.
- Cinnamon flavoured Polos
- Paan flavoured Polos (Previously available in India)
- Mint O Fruit: (available in Indonesia). These come in the following flavours: Raspberry Mint, Blackcurrant Mint, Peppermint, Lime Mint and Cherry Mint. These polos come with the following slogan "Think Plong! Masih Ada Bolong!" These are also sold in the UK in some Poundland stores.
Prior to this Rowntree had already experimented with different polos in the 1980s. The boiled fruit ones were always available but they briefly made:
- Lemon: Similar to the citrus flavour that Nestlé put out around 10 years later, but not identical.
- Orange: Similar to the lemon, but in an orange packet.
A Polo is approximately 1.9cm in diameter, 0.4cm deep and has a 0.8cm wide hole. The original Polo is white in colour with a hole in the middle, and the word 'POLO' embossed twice on one side around the ring, hence the popular slogan The Mint with the Hole
Ingredient of the main variety include: sugar, glucose syrup, modified starch, stearic acid (of vegetable origin), lubricant(570) and mint oils.
Packing and look
Polos are found in all major and minor newsagents, sweet shops, and supermarkets. They are usually sold separately in tubes that are about 10cm tall containing 25 Polos, but can be found in multi-packs ranging from 3 to 8. The tube of Polos is tightly wrapped with silver foil backed plastic. A green and blue paper wrapper, with the word 'POLO', binds the foil wrapper. The Os in 'Polo' are the images of the sweet. For the spearmint flavour, the paper wrapper is a darker green also the Extra Strong flavour is in a black paper wrapper.
In 1994 when the new Trade Marks Act was introduced in UK, Nestlé applied to register the shape of the Polo mint. The application featured a white, annular mint without any lettering. This application however was opposed by Kraft Food, the current owner of Life Savers
, and Mars UK because of the lack of distinctive character of the mint in question. Nestlé's application was allowed to proceed if it agreed to narrow the description of the mint i.e. the dimensions of the mint were limited to the standard dimensions of the Polo mint and that it was limited to 'mint flavoured compressed confectionery'.
Kraft Foods and Swizzels Matlow (owner of British Navy Sweets) have made similar applications for annular sweets bearing the mark LIFESAVERS or NAVY. Nestle has tried to oppose these trademark applications but have failed as the court ruled that customers would be able to distinguish between a Polo, a Lifesaver and a British Navy mint as all of them have their marks boldly and prominently embossed on the mint.
- "Polo, the mint with the hole"
- "The Mint,The Hole Mint and Nothing But The Mint!"
- "Holy Moly Minty!"
- "HOLE-Y REFRESHING"
- "Life's a Hole Lot Cooler!"
- "People Like Polo!"
Media & Entertainment
- Polo mints are mentioned in the song "Low Budget" by The Kinks. "We're all on our uppers were all going skint I used to smoke cigars but now I suck polo mints".
- The Polo mints are an important visual theme throughout the BBC Three comedy television programme The Mighty Boosh. They can be seen on many of the costumes and props (as well as in the opening graphics), and are directly referenced to on several occasions, most notably during the Hitcher's song ("creeping in your room in the dead of night / with my solo Polo vision" - the character of the Hitcher has a big Polo over one of his eyes.).
- A recent advertisement claims that Polos are now 13.063% mintier.
- Polo mint has become rhyming slang for skint(a slang term meaning to have no money) and for bint(slang for "woman").

Yesterday the Missouri Senate voted to roll back Proposition B, the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act and, thus, said the heck with Missouri voters who approved the measure in November.
Lawmakers approved Senate Bill 113 sponsored and introduced by Senator Mike Parson who, ironically, titled the bill, the Canine Cruelty Prevention Act. Key points of the bill include:
- No limit on the number of breeding dogs.
- No requirement of ground level cages with access to the outdoors.
- No requirement that the dogs be sheltered from extreme weather and temperatures.
- No annual hands-on vet examinations will be required.
- Two visual inspections of dogs by veterinarians will be required.
- Depending on the number of dogs sold, breeders would pay fees ranging up to $2,500 instead of the current maximum of $500.
- Breeders would pay $25 per year to generate funds for additional state inspectors
- Breeders in violation would no longer be subject to prosecution for the misdemeanor crime of puppy mill cruelty. Instead, courts could assess civil fines or prosecutors could file misdemeanor charges of canine cruelty against repeat offenders.


One thought on "Carbon curvature
 1. Graphene is trivial, and fullerenes are pretty straightforward (i.e. tubes with possibly closed ends), but I'm having trouble visualizing the shape of large schwartzite molecules. The graphic above suggests a repeating pattern — is it just a bunch of hyperboloid structures that happen to meet at the edges in a way that aligns the bonds? Are there regions of positive curvature at the 'joints', or is it really constant negative curvature everywhere?

I have recently published an info-strip script that allows custom information to be displayed in the rendered image, just like the v-ray frame stamp, but this one supports all renderers using the VFB (most notably mental ray and scanline). Together with user defined font size, style, colors and opacity of the strip background the user can define expressions to include things like photon count, diffuse bounces number etc. in the displayed information. There are five custom fields for simple expression and one field for custom script if you need some more elaborate way to get the desired result. In this tutorial I will show how these fields can be used to their full potential.
Among the default values you will notice
renderers.current.FinalGatherAccuracy and similar parameters of the current renderer. There are many more that can be useful to record, like
.GIPhotonMergeDistance. To get the complete list of render settings for mental ray, have a look at mental_ray_renderer : RendererClass section of maxscript help – wherever it says
<mental_ray_renderer> you'd replace it with
renderers.current. To get a list of properties for a different renderer run
showProperties renderers.current in the maxscript listener (press F11 to open it).
The same procedure applies for exposure control and virtually any single property that you can access via maxscript or .NET. In the case of mental ray Photographic Exposure Control the example usage is
sceneExposureControl.exposureControl.exposure_value and the exposure_value can be likewise replaced with
.gamma etc. The list of all the properties for this exposure control can be found in chapter mr_Photographic_Exposure_Control : ToneOperator.
Other simple expressions that might be noteworthy are listed here:
objects.count -- number of objects
sceneMaterials.count -- number of scene materials
displayGamma -- main gamma correction value
fileInGamma -- input gamma
fileOutGamma -- output gamma
numEffects -- number of current render effects
rendOutputFilename -- preset rendered image file name
sliderTime -- current slider time position
units.systemType -- current system unit type
The custom script entry offers the possibility to get more information at once, the only requirement for the script is it has to return a value – either a string or a value that can be converted to one. Also, the resulting string cannot contain any line-breaks and should be short enough to fit in the strip lenght. To combine multiple values into one result, there are a few options. The first one is string concatenation:
"Ten: " + 10 as string + " that's all, folks!"
The second one is formatting the values to a stringStream. Each percent character works as a placeholder for the argument following the string. For each percent metacharacter you have to add one argument:
sstream = "" as stringStream format "Ten: % %" 10 "that's all, folks!" to:sstream sstream
To show some possible uses, here are some ready-made snippets. If you use temporary variables, it's always better to enclose the code in braces and declare the variables as locals. To test the output of the script you can copy it to maxscript editor in 3ds max (located under New Script.. menu entry) and evaluate it (CTRL+E). If you'd need a piece of code or would like to share one that you find useful and is not listed here, use the comments section under the article.
Anti-aliasing (default value of the script field):
local s = "" as stringStream
local r = renderers.current
format "AA Min: % | AA Max: % | AA Spatial Contrast: % % % %" \
s as string -- returned value
The highest number of glossy subdivisions of Arch&Design material in scene:
local highestGlossy = 0
for mat in sceneMaterials
where isProperty mat #refl_samples AND
(local newGlossy = getProperty mat #refl_samples) > highestGlossy do
highestGlossy = newGlossy
"Highest Glossy Subdivs: " + highestGlossy as string
Snippet to get the heaviest mesh in scene:
local heaviestMesh = #(0,"none")
for obj in geometry
where (getPolygonCount obj) > heaviestMesh do
heaviestMesh = #((getPolygonCount obj), obj.name)
"Heaviest mesh: " + heaviestMesh + ", poly count: " + heaviestMesh as string
Scene poly count and vertex count – this one depends on another factor which is whether or not the file had been saved since the last change in scene that would influence the poly and vertex count (even
saveNodes command or scene hold updates scene information). If it has already been saved, we can use
(fileProperties.getItems "Mesh Totals") to get the vertex count and
(fileProperties.getItems "Mesh Totals") to get the face count. If not, something like this would work:
local faceTotal = 0
local vertTotal = 0
for obj in objects do
local meshTotal = getPolygonCount obj
vertTotal += meshTotal
faceTotal += meshTotal
"Vertices: " + vertTotal as string + " | Faces: " + faceTotal as string
Number of materials and their types:
local classes = #()
local counts = #()
local result = ""
for mat in sceneMaterials do
if (local index = findItem classes (classOf mat)) > 0 then
counts[index] += 1
append classes (classOf mat)
append counts 1
for i = 1 to classes.count do
append result (classes[i] as string + ":" + counts[i] as string + " ")
Scene dimensions (bounding box dimensions, bounding box center position):
fn formatPoint3 p3 = "x:" + p3.x as string + ", y:" + p3.y as string + ", z:" + p3.z as string
"Dimensions: " + formatPoint3 (objects.max - objects.min) + "; Center:" + formatPoint3 (objects.center)
For yet more ideas be sure to have a look at the Maxscript Oneliners for Artists article.
All the custom expressions together with the script part are evaluated after the rendering is done. If you'd need to take into consideration some information you could only get before the rendering starts, you can register your own preRender callback that would save the desired value(s) to a global variable, and then access it from the script.

Splendid Symbols : Textiles and Traditions in Indonesia
Washington D.C.: The Textile Museum, 1979
During the 1970s and early 1980s, interest in Southeast Asian textiles "took off,"
according to Michael Howard (see Textiles of Southeast Asia below). A number of
important books on Indonesian textiles were also published. This particular book became the standard reference work for collectors at the time. Several chapters are devoted to exploring the role of textiles in the social customs and religion of Indonesia, followed by individual chapters discussing the general characteristics of textiles in 14 geographic areas: Sumatra, Java, Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores, Solor and Lembata, Timor, Roti, Savu and Ndao, Southern Moluccas, Kisar and Tanimbar, Ceram, Sulawesi, Sangir and Talaud, and Borneo. This book was originally published to document a comprehensive exhibition of Indonesian textiles from the holdings of The Textile Museum and private collections. The quality of the photographs (largely black and white) is far superior in more recent publications.

Are Nordost cables directional?
Yes, Nordost cables are directional. This is especially true for single ended (RCA) interconnects as the shield is connected at the source or output end only.
Which way do directional arrows point on Nordost cables?
The directional arrows always point away from the source. For example, from a CD player to an amplifier, the arrows should point towards the preamplifier or power amplifier. On a speaker cable the arrows would always point towards the loudspeaker
How can cables be directional?
When cables are manufactured they do not have any directionality. However, as they break in, they acquire directionality.
Although the cable signal is an alternating current, small impurities in the conductor act as diodes allowing signal flow to be better in one direction over time. This effect is also called quantum tunneling, which has been observed in experiments over 25 years ago. Regardless of the purity of the metal used, there are still diode effects in all conductors. In addition, the insulation material will change when it is subjected to an electrical field.

The Ellis-Roberts seed viability equation is accepted as an accurate predictor of seed longevity over a range of storage temperatures and moisture contents (MC). One application of this model is to identify different combinations of seed MC and temperature that can result in similar seed storage lifetimes. The present study was conducted to determine whether the reduction in storage life of primed seeds is consistent with the predictions of the Ellis-Roberts equation across a range of seed MC and temperatures. Seeds of two lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) varieties (a romaine and a crisp-head type) were primed with polyethylene glycol and along with untreated seeds were adjusted to two different MCs (6% and 9%) and then aged in two different temperature environments (48°C and 38°C, respectively). Control seeds in both storage environments conformed to the Ellis–Roberts equation. Primed seeds aged faster than non-primed seeds but also exhibited different rates of viability loss between the storage environments. Primed seeds stored at 6% MC and 48°C aged slower than those stored at 9% MC and 38°C. These data suggest that priming causes lettuce seed to have a heightened sensitivity to the adverse effects of moisture during storage. To further investigate this observation, the moisture absorption properties of primed and non-primed seeds from both varieties were examined by equilibration over saturated NaCl solutions in sealed containers at 20°C. Primed seeds tended to have higher MC than non-primed seeds, although differences were seldom significant. Thus, an alteration of the RH/MC relationship for primed seeds could not be confirmed as a cause for the differential aging rates between equivalent environments. In conclusion, the predictable effects of MC and temperature on nonprimed lettuce seeds as described by the Ellis-Roberts equation may not hold true for primed seeds.

A pair of capuchin monkeys show very compelling signs of cooperation and a sense of fairness, by working together to solve a problem using tools, and then sharing the reward.
They also show signs of understanding fairness: when unequal rewards are given to one monkey and not another, the monkey receiving the lesser treat would rather go hungry than accept anything less than an equal reward.
From the BBC documentary "Capuchins: The Monkey Puzzle", narrated by the ever brilliant Sir David Attenborough.

and then call unregister() instead. After the user visits a page that has unregister(), the service worker will be uninstalled. Note that depending on how /service-worker.js is served, it may take up to 24 hours for the cache to be invalidated.
Offline-First Considerations
 1. Service workers require HTTPS, although to facilitate local testing, that policy does not apply to localhost. If your production web server does not support HTTPS, then the service worker registration will fail, but the rest of your web app will remain functional.
 2. Service workers are not currently supported in all web browsers. Service worker registration won't be attempted on browsers that lack support.
 3. The service worker is only enabled in the production environment, e.g. the output of npm run build. It's recommended that you do not enable an offline-first service worker in a development environment, as it can lead to frustration when previously cached assets are used and do not include the latest changes you've made locally.
 4. If you need to test your offline-first service worker locally, build the application (using npm run build) and run a simple http server from your build directory. After running the build script, create-react-app will give instructions for one way to test your production build locally and the deployment instructions have instructions for using other methods. Be sure to always use an incognito window to avoid complications with your browser cache.
 5. If possible, configure your production environment to serve the generated service-worker.js with HTTP caching disabled. If that's not possible—GitHub Pages, for instance, does not allow you to change the default 10 minute HTTP cache lifetime—then be aware that if you visit your production site, and then revisit again before service-worker.js has expired from your HTTP cache, you'll continue to get the previously cached assets from the service worker. If you have an immediate need to view your updated production deployment, performing a shift-refresh will temporarily disable the service worker and retrieve all assets from the network.
 6. Users aren't always familiar with offline-first web apps. It can be useful to let the user know when the service worker has finished populating your caches (showing a "This web app works offline!" message) and also let them know when the service worker has fetched the latest updates that will be available the next time they load the page (showing a "New content is available; please refresh." message). Showing this messages is currently left as an exercise to the developer, but as a starting point, you can make use of the logic included in src/registerServiceWorker.js, which demonstrates which service worker lifecycle events to listen for to detect each scenario, and which as a default, just logs appropriate messages to the JavaScript console.
 7. By default, the generated service worker file will not intercept or cache any cross-origin traffic, like HTTP API requests, images, or embeds loaded from a different domain. If you would like to use a runtime caching strategy for those requests, you can eject and then configure the runtimeCaching option in the SWPrecacheWebpackPlugin section of webpack.config.prod.js.
Progressive Web App Metadata
The default configuration includes a web app manifest located at public/manifest.json, that you can customize with details specific to your web application.
When a user adds a web app to their homescreen using Chrome or Firefox on Android, the metadata in manifest.json determines what icons, names, and branding colors to use when the web app is displayed. The Web App Manifest guide provides more context about what each field means, and how your customizations will affect your users' experience.
Analyzing the Bundle Size
Source map explorer analyzes JavaScript bundles using the source maps. This helps you understand where code bloat is coming from.
To add Source map explorer to a Create React App project, follow these steps:
npm install --save source-map-explorer
Alternatively you may use yarn:
yarn add source-map-explorer
Then in package.json, add the following line to scripts:
 "scripts": {
+ "analyze": "source-map-explorer build/static/js/main.*",
 "start": "react-scripts start",
 "build": "react-scripts build",
 "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
Then to analyze the bundle run the production build then run the analyze script.
npm run build
npm run analyze
Deployment
npm run build creates a build directory with a production build of your app. Set up your favorite HTTP server so that a visitor to your site is served index.html, and requests to static paths like /static/js/main.<hash>.js are served with the contents of the /static/js/main.<hash>.js file.
Static Server
For environments using Node, the easiest way to handle this would be to install serve and let it handle the rest:
npm install -g serve
serve -s build
The last command shown above will serve your static site on the port 5000. Like many of serve's internal settings, the port can be adjusted using the -p or --port flags.
Run this command to get a full list of the options available:
serve -h
Other Solutions
You don't necessarily need a static server in order to run a Create React App project in production. It works just as fine integrated into an existing dynamic one.
Here's a programmatic example using Node and Express:
const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const app = express();
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'build')));
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
 res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'build', 'index.html'));
});
app.listen(9000);
The choice of your server software isn't important either. Since Create React App is completely platform-agnostic, there's no need to explicitly use Node.
The build folder with static assets is the only output produced by Create React App.
However this is not quite enough if you use client-side routing. Read the next section if you want to support URLs like /todos/42 in your single-page app.
Serving Apps with Client-Side Routing
If you use routers that use the HTML5 pushState history API under the hood (for example, React Router with browserHistory), many static file servers will fail. For example, if you used React Router with a route for /todos/42, the development server will respond to localhost:3000/todos/42 properly, but an Express serving a production build as above will not.
This is because when there is a fresh page load for a /todos/42, the server looks for the file build/todos/42 and does not find it. The server needs to be configured to respond to a request to /todos/42 by serving index.html. For example, we can amend our Express example above to serve index.html for any unknown paths:
 app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'build')));
-app.get('/', function (req, res) {
+app.get('/*', function (req, res) {
 res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'build', 'index.html'));
 });
If you're using Apache HTTP Server, you need to create a .htaccess file in the public folder that looks like this:
 Options -MultiViews
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]
It will get copied to the build folder when you run npm run build.
If you're using Apache Tomcat, you need to follow this Stack Overflow answer.
Now requests to /todos/42 will be handled correctly both in development and in production.
On a production build, and in a browser that supports service workers, the service worker will automatically handle all navigation requests, like for /todos/42, by serving the cached copy of your index.html. This service worker navigation routing can be configured or disabled by ejecting and then modifying the navigateFallback and navigateFallbackWhitelist options of the SWPreachePlugin configuration.
When users install your app to the homescreen of their device the default configuration will make a shortcut to /index.html. This may not work for client-side routers which expect the app to be served from /. Edit the web app

OCUL Operating Principles
All OCUL projects and initiatives must align with the following principles:
- OCUL initiatives are developed and sustained in a climate that encourages new ideas, enables effective collaboration and builds consensus.
- Initiatives are proposed, considered and agreed upon according to OCUL's governance practices and the Rules of the OCUL Bylaws.
- Initiatives must be congruent with the OCUL strategic plan.
- Initiatives must balance risk (financial, legal, reputational, etc.) with opportunity (new relationships, new revenue streams, etc.)
- Initiatives involving subsets of OCUL members are OCUL initiatives when they are enabled by OCUL (i.e., opt-in, cost recovery services).
- Initiatives involving subsets of OCUL members may be considered as OCUL initiatives when there is some likelihood of others joining at a later date, when information about the work is regularly shared with the membership as a whole, and when OCUL as a whole is expected to benefit from the experiences of the subgroup.
- Initiatives must respect (and not jeopardize) COU's status as an association of not-for-profit members.

Algonquin Indians hunted animals for food and ate many kinds of meat, including moose and deer. Other foods included fish and vegetables, such as corn, beans and squash. Algonquin people also gathered berries and made maple syrup.Continue Reading
Historically, the Algonquin Indians were mostly hunters and moved around often. They used light materials that were easy to transport. They made canoes out of birch bark and applied bear grease and spruce resin to make them waterproof. In the winter, they built toboggans to carry materials.
There are still some Algonquin communities. As of 2015, there are about 11,000 Algonquin people. They live mostly in the Canadian province of Quebec.Learn more about US History

Desiccation in woody plants is common in Colorado, because soils range from sandy to clay and plants rely almost totally on supplemental watering. In addition, nearly all woody plants found in Colorado are imported from different parts of the country and have varying moisture requirements.
Symptoms of desiccation appear when too little or too much water is available. It also occurs in plants that have weak root systems; most often in transplants. Too much water drives oxygen from the soil, which leaves roots unable to absorb water and nutrients. Symptoms of desiccation appear over the course of a day in small, newly transplanted plants. A large conifer may not show symptoms for a couple of years.
In response to desiccation, many plants will try to adapt. Established deciduous woody plants show the most obvious signs of desiccation. To conserve water, these plants often shed some or all their leaves. In the fall, early coloration is a sign of water stress. Cottonwoods, aspens and willows also drop twigs and small branches in a effort to conserve. After several years of inadequate water, the annual growth becomes weak.
Conifers are much less susceptible to desiccation. Their needles are well adapted to xeric conditions. If water stress does occur, it's most likely to happen in spruce and fir. In these plants, you typically won't see symptoms until the following growing season when stunted and off-color needles appear.
Desiccation in broad-leaved evergreens, such as Oregon grape and pyracantha, often appears in leaves, which brown at the margins. To protect broad-leafed evergreens, plant them in a protected area, such as the north side of a structure.
Don't flood plants to correct water deficits. Flooding, even for a short period, can quickly kill a woody plant.
For "Fall & winter watering" refer to message number 1706.

Preparing multiple onpload databases
Each database server can have only one active onpload database. In most cases, you can use the default onpload database, which is named onpload. If you choose to prepare multiple databases to hold different types of control information, you must set the DBONPLOAD environment variable before you can run a load or unload.
To prepare multiple onpload databases with ipload:
 1. Set the DBONPLOAD environment variable to the name of the alternative onpload database.
 2. Restart ipload.
 3. Use ipload to prepare the alternative database.
During load and unload jobs, the ipload, onpload, and onpladm utilities use the value of the DBONPLOAD environment variable that is set in the client environment, regardless of whether the DBONPLOAD environment variable is set on the server. The ipload, onpload, and onpladm utilities use the value of the DBONPLOAD environment variable that is set on the server only if the DBONPLOAD environment variable is not set in the client environment.

The Birthright: Song of Acadia #3
The Song of Acadia series began with two young women, one British and one French, who become close friends despite the fact their countries were at war. This book is about their daughters, Nicole and Anne, who share as deep a friendship as their mothers. Nicole's Uncle Charles wants to make her heiress to his vast property in England. Although Nicole doesn't want this, she feels led to join her uncle on his English estate, separating her from her family and Anne not long after being reunited with them. When Anne's life takes a dramatic change, she finds herself bound for England to join Nicole. Through joys and tragedies these two young women, unchanged by the wealth that surrounds them, struggle to discover what shape their lives are destined to take.
The plot seems forced at times, and circumstances are placed rather conveniently for the major characters. What the book lacks in plot is more than made up in historical detail. The authors authentically describe Halifax and Georgian England prior to the Revolution. Another strength of this work is the way affection is portrayed. The characters' true concern for each other is evident but not overwhelming.
This story is most meaningful when read after the two previous books in the series.

At first glance, amiable and amicable look like they could be different forms of the same word. Indeed, their meanings are quite similar. However, their meanings differ and so do their uses.
Amiable vs. Amicable: A Pleasantly Simple Guide
The Difference Between Amiable and Amicable
Amiable and amicable are both adjectives that come from the same root. Amiable comes from the Old French term amiable which means "trying to please," and both amiable and amicable are derived from the Latin word amicus, meaning "friend."
amiable - kind, friendly or sociable
amicable - pleasant or peaceable
When and How to Use Amiable
Amiable is defined as "having a friendly disposition" or someone or something that is "agreeable."
Everyone likes him because he's an amiable sort of person.
She was an amiable hostess capable of smoothing over even the most awkward interaction.
Their home has a very amiable vibe.
Using Amicable in a Sentence
The adjective amicable usually refers to the relationships or interactions between people and means "pleasant" as well as "without disagreement or discord."
My parents have an amicable relationship, despite their divorce.
Although opinions were flying fast and furious, in the end it was an amicable debate.
We didn't agree on everything, but still, we reached an amicable agreement.
Remember the Difference
Amiable and amicable are understandably sometimes used interchangeably since they both refer to friendliness and pleasantry. However, there is a way to remember the distinction between them.
The only difference between the spellings is a "c." Since amicable applies to events and situations between multiple people, you can associate the "c" with words like "crowd" or "crew."
Friendly Reminders to Choose the Correct Word
Choosing the right word can be difficult. That's why it's nice to have friendly reminders about how to distinguish between commonly confused words and choose the correct one. Once you review the basics, check out other commonly confused words like conscience and conscious or continually and continuously.

The Muglia Valley is saved
In Sicily the splendid Muglia Valley (Enna), full of archaeological remains, risked becoming an enormous rubbish dump. The local community's fight to protect the territory was successful
In the Sicilian municipality of Centuripe (Enna), a town of Hellenistic origin facing Etna, the rural Muglia valley still boasts a hilly landscape of exceptional integrity, characterised by badlands and hills, including Mount Pietra Perciata. Of great importance are the archaeological remains that attest to an uninterrupted human presence since prehistoric times, as well as ancient farmsteads and old industrial elements linked to the centuries-old extraction of sulphur.
However, the 1967 application for protection was never approved. This "vacatio legis" left open the possibility of building a rubbish processing plant which, with its 300 hectares, would have irreparably compromised the valley. Fighting against this choice were the citizens of Centuripe who, organised into the transversal committee No discarica #restiamopuliti (No landfill #letsstayclean), at the end of 2018 published a manifesto, supported by people such as Antonio Paolucci and Mina Gregori, which gathered more than 2,500 signatures on the platform Change.org.
The manifesto had asked for the direct involvement of the archaeologist and regional councillor for cultural heritage Sebastiano Tusa, who tragically passed away recently, and had promised the inclusion of the area as a Zone C protection area in the regional planning programme. The battle carried out by local organisations such as SiciliAntica and Zona Libera led to the denial of the petition for change of use from agricultural to industrial, which was necessary to build the plant, and in May of this year to receiving protected status. Muglia has been nominated as a Luogo del Cuore FAI 2020.

Situm WYF is an UX component. Therefore, its behaviour strips down to:
- Showing itself inside an UX container (e.g. an Activity/Fragment in Android or a Component in React).
- Receiving user interactions that happen within that container.
- Informing the app about those interactions (e.g. user has touched a button) as well as other events happening within Situm WYF.
- Receiving commands from the app, with the objective of modifying the module behaviour (e.g. center the view on a certain POI) or visualization properties (e.g. hide the floor selector).
Situm WYF architecture components #
Situm WYF is divided in three components:
- SitumMapsLibrary (Android, iOS). This is the key component of Situm WYF, since it creates the SitumMap and allows the developer to access it to modify its behaviour on the fly (e.g. showing certain UX elements, changing the map view on the fly, starting/stopping positioning…) or to subscribe to events (UI interactions, state changes, etc).
- LibrarySettings (Android, iOS). Allows the developer to configure static parameters & behaviour such as: credentials, initialization display properties (e.g. initial zoom), whether Remote Configuration should be used, etc.
Using Situm WYF programmatically (native Android/iOS) #
In essence, you'll need to declare an UI component in your app and load the view provided by SitumMapsLibrary. Please read sections Static UI settings and Dynamic UI settings to have a better understanding on how to interact & configure this view.

DALLAS, July 14 -- As temperatures across the U.S. increase because of global warming, the prevalence of kidney stones is expected to grow, researchers suggested.
Assuming a mean temperature increase of 2.38Â° C, climate change is expected to create 1.61 to 2.25 million new cases of nephrolithiasis by 2050, an increase of 7% to 10.4% from 2000, Margaret Pearle, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center here, and colleagues reported online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
That would add $947 million to $1.33 billion in annual healthcare costs, according to the researchers' calculations. This represents a 25% increase over the $5.3 billion spent in 2000.
The warming temperatures would expand the so-called "stone belt" of the Southeast, in which the prevalence of nephrolithiasis is as much as 50% higher than in other parts of the country.
Two different models predicted that the highest risks of kidney stones in 2050 would either be in a band covering the southern half of the U.S. or the upper Midwest.
"There is a known geographic variation in stone disease that has been attributed to regional differences in temperature," Dr. Peale said. "When people relocate from areas of moderate temperature to areas with warmer climates, a rapid increase in stone risk has been observed."
Rising temperatures are believed to be associated with a greater risk of kidney stones, perhaps because of increased dehydration, the researchers said, although the link hasn't been proven.
To explore the potential effect of global warming on rates of nephrolithiasis, the researchers combined climate models from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change with estimates of the prevalence of kidney stones. They limited the analysis to upper tract stones because they are more likely to be influenced by the environment than lower tract stones.
They created two separate models -- one assumed that the risk of kidney stones would increase linearly with temperature and one assumed that there was a threshold temperature (13.4Â° C) at which risk would increase dramatically.
Using the linear model, the proportion of the U.S. population living in areas with an elevated risk of kidney stones compared with the Northeast would increase from 41% in 2000 to 56% in 2050.
The percentage could rise to 70% in 2095, the researchers said.
The "stone belt" would spread from the Southeast northward into the Midwest, covering much of the southern half of the country and all of California by 2050. New cases would be clustered in the South and Midwest.
In the non-linear threshold model, the "stone belt" would also spread northward, comprising a band of states from Virginia to the upper Midwest to northern California, but spreading as far north as New York and Pennsylvania.
The maximum climate-related risk increases would be found in cities such as New York, Detroit, Chicago, Salt Lake City, and Sacramento. New cases would occur mostly in the Midwest and Northeast.
The authors acknowledged several limitations of the study, including the uncertainty of the relationship between temperature and kidney stones and of climate models in general.
In addition, they said, it is difficult to determine the prevalence of nephrolithiasis, which is most likely underestimated. This would have a significant effect on the estimates of healthcare costs.
Finally, neither of the models could account for any future improvements in the treatment of kidney stones, which could potentially alter cost estimates.
"Regardless of these limitations," the researchers concluded, "climate-related increases in the prevalence of nephrolithiasis in the U.S. appear likely."
"These changes are likely to cause notable perturbations in the magnitude of stone interventions, with corresponding stresses in healthcare delivery and economics," they said.

text: We have captured the binding of a peptide to a PDZ domain by unbiased molecular dynamics simulations. Analysis of the trajectories reveals on-pathway encounter complex formation, which is driven by electrostatic interactions between negatively charged carboxylate groups in the peptide and positively charged side chains surrounding the binding site. In contrast, the final stereospecific complex, which matches the crystal structure, features completely different interactions, namely the burial of the hydrophobic side chain of the peptide C-terminal residue and backbone hydrogen bonds. The simulations show that nonnative salt bridges stabilize kinetically the encounter complex during binding. Unbinding follows the inverse sequence of events with the same nonnative salt bridges in the encounter complex. Thus, in contrast to protein folding, which is driven by native interactions, the binding of charged peptides can be steered by nonnative interactions, which might be a general mechanism, e.g., in the recognition of histone tails by bromodomains.

BLM Road Numbers - Understanding Township and Range
BLM roads are identified numerically by a legal description based upon a rectangular grid, established from a point in northwest Portland, and spanning the State. From this point, Township grid lines run east and west; Range grid lines run north and south -each six miles apart. The resulting 6-mile squares called Townships are divided into 36 one-mile squares called Sections. Each section is approximately 640 acres.
BLM road signs in the field have three numbers. They identify the Township, Range, and Section from which a road originates. For example:
Numbers after the decimal point indicate another road originating in Section 14.


Tips to Prevent Water Ingress on Electrical Assemblies
Prevent Water Ingress
We all know that water and electricity don't mix. But it's common for heavy equipment to be used in environments where water is present. So how can an OEM protect its equipment's electrical assemblies from water ingress? And what happens if the electrical components aren't protected properly from moisture? The answers to both of those questions depend on several factors.
When Water Meets Electrical Assemblies
If water meets unprotected electrical assemblies, the consequences can be costly or even deadly. Electrical shorts can cause the equipment to malfunction or, worse, it may not work at all. Water ingress can also lead to fire and shock hazards, which can severely injure or kill workers in a high voltage application.
No matter how significant the damage is, the costs to repair the equipment and any damage done can climb quickly. Even if no actual lasting damage occurs, the repairs will lead to downtime and project delays. If someone gets injured or the incident causes property damage, the OEM could face litigation and fines.
Steps to Prevent Water Ingress
The first step to protect electrical assemblies from water ingress is to understand what types of working environments the assembly will be used in. That way you can use appropriately rated components in the design.
Will the assembly get rained on, or will it be submerged while in operation? Different environments require varied levels of protection, which is where IP Codes come into play. The IP Code is a two-digit number that indicates how resistant components are to intrusion by solid particles and liquids. The chart below is a helpful guide to ensure your engineering team uses IP-rated components that meet or exceed the requirements of the working environment:

Tools and Tips to Prevent Water Ingress
 - Overmolding is an excellent way to protect small electrical components like printed circuit boards, resistors, capacitors, and diodes.
 - Gaskets can be used to seal the junction where multiple surfaces meet; they're typically used to help make something that wasn't designed to be watertight usable in a wet environment.
 - RTV silicone can also be used as a seal; it's better for small volumes because quality can be difficult to repeat. It requires application by an experienced technician and time to cure.
 - Cord grips and sealed connectors can protect electrical enclosures from water ingress.
 - On an enclosure, install the hinges outside of the gasket to prevent compromising the gasket's integrity.
 - Use braided loom on wire harnesses to allow liquids to flow through instead of getting trapped inside conduit.
 - If you need to use a conduit, leave a small gap between the conduit and the connectors to allow liquids to escape.
Preventing water ingress on electrical assemblies begins with knowing where and how the assembly will be used. Once that is determined, use properly rated components to protect the electrical assembly from any water that may be in its working environment.
It's also important to call out how watertight the assembly needs to be on the drawing so that any supplier who receives the design understands why you've chosen the components on the bill of materials (BOM). For example, a welder working on a custom enclosure for an electrical assembly that is headed to a wet environment will need to know if the weld needs to be watertight.

We report a technique for encoding both amplitude and phase variations onto a laser beam using a single digital micro-mirror device (DMD). Using this technique, we generate Laguerre-Gaussian and vortex orbital-angular-momentum (OAM) modes, along with modes in a set that is mutually unbiased with respect to the OAM basis. Additionally, we have demonstrated rapid switching among the generated modes at a speed of 4 kHz, which is much faster than the speed regularly achieved by phase-only spatial light modulators (SLMs). The dynamic control of both phase and amplitude of a laser beam is an enabling technology for classical communication and quantum key distribution (QKD) systems that employ spatial mode encoding. © 2013 Optical Society of America.

Smartstrips: Foils that breathe
Smartstrips is the first breathable highlight strip that allows the perfect amount of oxygen in and expels damaging gases out.
Too much oxygen during balayage and the blonding cream or powder oxidizes and loses its lifting power. No oxygen (when wrapped in foil, paper, or other meche brands) and the mixture swells due to toxic gases. This hamper painting creativity, as well as increases the risk of overprocessing the ends or previously lightened hair.
The special composition of strips enables the entrance of the right amount of oxygen to obtain the lightening effects and the vent of gas that is harmful for the hair fibre. They allow enough oxygen to stabilize the mixture during the process, while preventing total oxygen flow that would over-oxidize. The result allows the product to stay fresh longer and perform at optimum capacity fuelled by oxygen to achieve incredible results. This occurs while ventilating the corrosive damaging chemical fumes that foil traps in – such as ammonia.
SMARTSTRIPS are Eco-friendly: they are not only easy to recycle, but they also strongly reduce their environmental impact since they are produced without using water or trees. This revolutionary material is made up of 70% calcium carbonate and 30% polyethylene, that reduces the use of plastic resin by 55 to 70% when compared to most products present on the market.
SMARTSTRIPS are the future of bleaching techniques, bridging the gap between balayage and traditional highlighting.

Transport study of nanoparticle (NP) through matrix flow dominated aquifer sand and soils have significant influence in natural systems. To quantify the transport behaviour, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to image the iron oxide based nanoparticle, Molday ION (carboxyl terminated) through saturated sandstone rock core. T2-weighted images were acquired and the changes in image intensity were calibrated to get a quantitative concentration profiles at various time intervals. These profiles were evaluated through CXTFIT transport model to estimate the transport parameters. These parameters are estimated at various points along the length of the column while classical breakthrough curve analysis cannot provide these details. NP-surface interactions were investigated using DLVO (Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek) theory. The dispersion coefficients (2.55-1.21×10-7m2/s) were found to be decrease with distance, deposition rate constant k (6.70-9.13×10-4(1/s)) and fast deposition rate constant kfast (4.32-8.79×10-2(1/s)) were found to be increase with distance. These parameter variations over length will have a scaling up impact in developing transport models for environmental remediation and risk assessment schemes.

The Battle of the Badger Mouth (simplified Chinese: 獾儿嘴及野狐岭战役; traditional Chinese: 獾兒嘴及野狐嶺戰役; the Campaign of the Badger Mouth and Wild Fox Peak) was the major decisive battle in the first stage of the Mongol–Jin War.
In 1210, Genghis Khan insulted Emperor Weishaowang by publicly stating that he was a coward and unfit to be a leader. Genghis added, "The emperor should be a man from sky like me." Soon, news spread to the Jin emperor through a Jin officer. The Jin emperor was enraged and ordered the execution of the Mongolian ambassador. Tensions between the Jin and the Mongols started to escalate and Genghis Khan declared war with the Jin.
The Mongolian army amassed 90,000 men for the offensive force in the expedition against the emperor in March 1211. Genghis Khan only maintained a defending force of 2,000 guards in Mongolia. This means that well over 90% of the available forces in Mongolia at the time were mobilized for this campaign. Before the expedition, Genghis Khan conducted a religious ritual with his troops by praying to Tengri along the Kherlen River for victory and made a vow to avenge his ambassador, Ambaghai Khan, who was betrayed by the Tartar and executed by the Jin court.
Jin army[edit]
The Jin army included:
1. Border troops: recently defeated by Mongolia at the Battle of Wushabao several months before the campaign, the border troops had withdrawn to Badger Mouth. Their total strength amounted to 100,000 and were led by 1st Prime Minister Du Qiannu.
2. Main troops: their strength amounted to 250,000 and chief commander of the army was field marshal Wanyan Chenyu, 2nd Prime Minister and general Ming An. Most of the troops hailed from the capital.
3. Reinforcement troops: emergency troops from all corners of Jin country, their strength amounted to 150,000 and the commander was vice field marshal Hersle Whosawho, an ambitious man. He was to defend Datong with his reinforcements.
This campaign included a series of five battles that took place from May to October, 1211:
1. Battle of Wushabao (烏沙堡戰役): May–June.
2. Battle of Datong (大同攻防戰): lasted seven days in August.
Genghis Khan ordered his three elder sons and general Yelü Tuhwa into battle. Each of his sons commanded 10,000 cavalry. A total of 30,000 cavalry besieged the city in order to cover the side line of the Genghis Khan's troops and cut off Jin's reinforcements to capital.
3. Badger Mouth Campaign (獾兒嘴及野狐嶺戰役): occurred in August.
This pass leads directly to Jin's capital and was attacked by Genghis Khan with a commanding force of 60,000.
4. Battle of Guihebao (澮河堡戰役): happened in October and the combat lasted three days.
5. The Mongol occupation of Juyongguan:
Jin's 3rd Prime Minister Tu Danyi (徒單鎰) successfully defended the capital with a commanding force of 20,000, signalling the end of the campaign.
Battle of Wushabao[edit]
Wushabao is located at the present city of Ulanqab. Through the years, Jin's 1st Prime Minister Dujis Qiannu ordered the construction line of a series of single fortifications to oversee the Mongols, but this tactic turns out to be faulty, even though they maintain their stability on the border. Wushabao was one of the largest and most important fortresses at the time.
Jebe attacked Wushabao and achieved no success. He changed his tactics by attacking Wushabao's reinforcement base. With the fall of the base, Jebe manage to capture Wushabao. Hearing the news, a senior official of Jin (a rank below prime minister) led the troops into retreat from the neighboring three counties to Badger Mouth. The retreat provided a golden opportunity for Jebe and soon the three counties were captured with ease.
Battle of the Badger Mouth[edit]
To combat the Mongol advance, the Jin withdrew soldiers from cities for hundreds of miles, resulting in a combined force of approximately 400,000 to 500,000 soldiers being stationed at Badger Mouth. However, the Jin were overly confident in the defensive position of the pass; Genghis eventually circumvented Jin defenses by sending his men over the peaks surrounding the pass, allowing him to encircle the much larger Jin army. As Genghis attacked the front of the Jin army at the entrance to the pass, his forces simultaneously routed the Jin cavalry from behind. The encircling force then proceeded to attack the supply camps in the rear of the Jin army, resulting in the slaughter of many resting Jin soldiers. When Jin forces in the front lines of the battle were eventually pushed into retreat by the bulk of the Mongol army, the subsequent chaos resulted in the slaughter of even more Jin soldiers.
Following the battle, the general of the Jin army retreated to the central Jin capital of Zhongdu (modern day Beijing) and assassinated the emperor, and assumed control of the city. After a four-year Mongol siege, which saw the residents of Beijing reduced to cannibalism in order to survive, the city finally surrendered. The Jin were allowed to retain control of Zhongdu, but were forced to pay a large tribute in return. The following summer, Jin Emperor Xuānzōng (宣宗) abandoned Zhongdu and moved the government to the "southern capital" of Kaifeng. While the Jin maintained a grasp on power for several more years, the empire was severely weakened, and eventually capitulated to a combined Mongol and Song force in 1234.[2]
After this battle and campaign, the Jin dynasty lost half of its 950,000 troops. Roughly ten Jin cities were plundered by the Mongols and Genghis Khan ordered a tribute of 500 males, 500 virgins and 3000 horses to be taken back to the Mongolian plains.
In spite of the defeat, Jin prioritized conquering the Song dynasty over defending its borders against future Mongol incursions and invasions.

In conjunction with the Department of Agriculture and Water, Standards Australia is driving an International Standard on Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS).
WELS is Australia's most successful consumer water conservation program. It is also among the nation's most successful carbon reduction schemes.
The purpose of the scheme is to conserve water by helping consumers make informed decisions and encouraging uptake of water-saving technologies.
In September 2017, Standards Australia submitted a New Work Item proposal on behalf of the Commonwealth Department of Agriculture and Water Resources to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This proposal was approved in January 2018, leading to the establishing of the international committee ISO/PC 316.
While developing the new International Standard, the Australian-led committee is responsible for defining test methods and customising labelling depending on the consumer markets of the various member countries. The end goal is to assist manufacturers of specified products to transact in a common global market, enable competition and encourage best practice, and give consumers choice.
This proposal was based on the Australian Standard® AS/NZS 6400, Water efficient products – Rating and Labelling, as well as the contributions received from regional partners who supported the proposal including China, Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand.
Standards Australia would like to thank the Australian technical committee WS-032, Water Efficient Appliances, and the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, in particular Dr Carol Grossman and Mr Richard McLoughlin, who have assisted Standards Australia in formulating this proposal and promoting best practice Australian programmes globally.

Our last day of term had a distinctly 'Roman' feel as the pupils had been studying the Romans as their topic this term. Our fantastic cook, Ann, very kindly (and creatively) produced a 'Vesuvius' sausage and mash which went down a storm with the pupils! Pupils then had a Roman feast where they reclined in their togas and enjoyed some of the foods the Romans might have eaten including: olives, fish, grapes, cheese, breads, salads, nuts, honey and olive oil. Ann also brought in her photographs of a visit to Pompeii to share with pupils.

Why a User Admin cannot remove users from a group
I don't understand why a user that has been granted the User Admin role cannot remove users from a group. To me this seems like a permission any User Admin would need, If I trust them enough to create users, assign apps and groups, Why wouldn't I trust them to remove a user from a group?
This makes no sense to me, Can someone shed some light on why a User Admin cannot remove users from groups?
api-workday api-workdayapi-workday api-workday
Hi Tom,
I've always assumed it is because of the diverse number of things that adding a user to a group can trigger.
Beyond obvious and awknowledge application assignment:
 - Being assigned to an application through a group can be used to prepopulate specific attribute values for the application user assignment.
 - Group assignment can be used to push a user to a directory (create an AD User)
 - Groups can be configured as push groups so adding a user to an okta group can subsequently add the user to an AD Group
Jonathan WinnJonathan Winn
Hi Tom,
When we have discussed this with Okta previously, the concept of managing a group wasn't included in this role as it was just focused on the management of users only. As a result of that conversation, a feature request for granular user access permissions was logged as we like you want to be able to add/remove users from groups without having to grant god access! We used a group to enable our Service Desk to bypass MFA for users if they forgot their mobiles. They could add the user but could never remove them. The role appears to have been tweaked again now so that adding users to group isn't even possible now.
If you want flexibility to grant your admins access to what they need to, please support the feature request!
Thanks,
Jonathan
Tom HardinTom Hardin
Hi Jonathan,
I would love to support that feature request. If I knew how. It appreas that Okta is hiding the Feature Request section. Can you post a link to your feature request?
ThomasThomas (Okta, Inc.)
The Feature Request area is for Okta Admins, you click on Post An Idea on the Community home page, that will take you to Feature Requests, there you can post your idea, our product management team will review your request, and feedback.

Yale University has recently announced that another milestone in brain sciences has been reached. A team of researchers was able to keep a hog's brain alive for 36 hours after being decapitated. Through gruesome, this research has the potential to uncover even more facts about how the brain works.
Yale University Scientists Said Experimental Drugs Could Be Tested on Severed Heads
Nenad Sestan, the head scientists of Yale University's project centered on the human brain, has presented the findings of his team during a recent National Institutes of Health conference. Sestan pointed out that the research conducted in the University's lab could prove to be pivotal in understanding the inner workings of the human brain and could open the doors to how clinicians experiment with untested drugs.
During the conference, Sestan declared that he and his team managed to keep a pig's brain cells alive for 36 hours after surgically removing the head. Although the specimen did not retain consciousness throughout the experiment, its responses bordering on the somatic, it does prove that, under special conditions, organs such as the brain can be kept alive.
For the purpose of this Frankenstein-inspired experiment, Sestan and his team employed an apparatus called BrainEx. With this device, his team was able to feed the hog's brain with body-temperature blood in an attempt to preserve its functions.
Upon analyzing the hog's brain cells under the microscope, the Yale University team discovered that they were very much alive and behaved as though the head never left the body.
As Sestan pointed out, this rather macabre technique could alter the way we thoughts, consciousness, and even death. More than that, this procedure can help clinicians test cancer or dementia meds on deceased patients' heads without having to rely on animals or computer-generated models.

Actions and subactivities can be organized into Swimlanes in the Activity diagrams. Swimlanes are used to organize responsibility for actions and subactivities according to the class. They often correspond to the organizational units in a business model.
Swimlanes limit and provide a view of the behaviors invoked in the activities. They consist of one or more partitions and can be vertical or horizontal.
An Activity diagram can be visually divided into Swimlanes, each separated from the neighboring Swimlanes by vertical or horizontal solid lines on both sides. Each Swimlane represents a responsibility for part of the overall activity, and may eventually be implemented by one or more objects. The relative ordering of the Swimlanes has no semantic significance, but can indicate some affinity. Each action is assigned to one Swimlane. Transitions can cross lanes. The routing of a transition path is non-essential.
Swimlane representation can be customized by changing its symbol property values. Press Alt + Enter to open the appropriate dialog. Each property is described in the description area on this dialog.
To create a Swimlane
 1. On the Activity diagram palette, click the Vertical Swimlanes button Vertical Swimlanesand then click an empty space on the diagram pane.
 2. If the Represent Properties dialog opens, select the properties you want to display as Swimlanes in the diagram (see the following figure) and click OK. Otherwise, a few empty Swimlanes are created.
 The Represent Properties dialog opens, if:
 1. The Activity diagram is owned by a classifier, for example, a Class, Component, Use Case.
 Selecting properties to display as Swimlanes
You can also create a Swimlane by dragging one or more properties, Actors, Classes, or Instance Specifications from the Containment tree to the Activity diagram pane. Partitions for each element are created as well.
To set representative elements, do one of the following
 - Open the Specification window of the Swimlane and click the cell of the Represents property value. Then click and select the element. Click OK when you are done.
 - From the Containment tree, drag the representative element to the partition on the diagram.
To add an additional partition, do one of the following
 - On the diagram, right-click the Swimlane, select Insert Swimlane and then Insert Vertical Swimlane or Insert Horizontal Swimlane.
 - From the Containment tree, drag one or more property, actor, class or instance specification elements to the Swimlane on the diagram.
To draw multidimensional Swimlanes
 1. Draw a vertical Swimlane.
 2. From the Swimlane shortcut menu, select Insert Horizontal Swimlane.
 3. Insert as many horizontal and vertical Swimlanes as you need.
To add model elements to a Swimlane
 - If a Swimlane is already drawn in the Activity diagram, drawing an action (or any other element) highlights the Swimlane in blue. This means that the action shape depends on the Swimlane symbol.
 If the model elements depend on a Swimlane symbol, they are deleted if the Swimlane symbol is deleted.
 Example of multidimensional swimlane
To rearrange Swimlanes, do one of the following
 - Drag any of the Swimlanes to the direction where you want it to be.
 - Click the heading of any Swimlane and use the displayed control arrow to move the Swimlane left, right, up or down.
 Example of 'Move Swimlane Left' Control
To delete a single Swimlane entirely, do one of the following
 - Click the header of the Swimlane, then press Delete.
 - Click the header of the Swimlane, then press Ctrl + D.
 - Right-click the header or any empty space on the Swimlane, then select Delete Swimlane.
To delete all Swimlanes and their contents entirely
 - Click any empty space on the Swimlanes, then press Ctrl + D.
To delete Swimlanes without deleting contained elements, do one of the following
 - Click any empty space on the Swimlanes, then press Delete.
 - Right-click the headers or anywhere on the Swimlanes, then select Delete All Swimlanes, Keep Contents.
