Building thermal mass can be used to reduce the peak cooling load. For example, in summer, the building mass can be pre-cooled during non-peak hours in order to reduce the cooling load in the peak hours. As a result, the cooling load is shifted in time and the peak demand is reduced. The building mass can be cooled most effectively during unoccupied hours because it is possible to relax the comfort constraints.While the benefits of demand shift are certain, different thermal mass discharge strategies result in different cooling load reduction and savings. The goal of an optimized discharge strategy is to maximize the thermal mass discharge and minimize the possibility of rebounds before the shed period ends. A series of filed tests were carefully planned and conducted in two commercial buildings in Northern California to investigate the effects of various precooling and demand shed strategies. Field tests demonstrated the potential of cooling load reduction in peak hours and importance of discharge strategies to avoid rebounds. EnergyPlus simulation models were constructed and calibrated to investigate different kind of recovery strategies. The results indicate the value of pre-cooling in maximizing the electrical shed in the on-peak period. The results also indicate that the dynamics of the shed need to be managed in order to avoid discharging the thermal capacity of the building too quickly, resulting in high cooling load and electric demand before the end of the shed period. An exponential trajectory for the zone set-point during the discharge period yielded good results and is recommended for practical implementation.

Death Note (Opinion)
So considering i am a big fan of the death note series, i decided for my first proper blog i would write up my opinion of the series.
To start with, if nobody is aware of this anime, i will tell you the basic just of what the series is about. The 'death note' is a notebook that allows you to kill anybody you like just by writing their name into the notebook whilst picturing the face of the person. The death note has several rules to it these include:
 1. it will happen.
 1. The notebook shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground of (arrives in) the human world.
 1. The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of the original owner, i.e. a God of death/Shinigami.
 1. The human who uses the notebook can neither go to Heaven nor Hell.
 1. The human who touches the Death Note can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, a Shinigami, even if the human is not the owner of the note.
 1. Gods of Death, the original owners of the Death Note, do not do, in principle, anything which will help or prevent the deaths in the note.
 1. A Shinigami has no obligation to completely explain how to use the note or rules which will apply to the human who owns it unless asked.
 1. A Shinigami can extend their own life by putting a name on their own note, but humans cannot.
 1. A person can shorten his/her own life by using the note.
 1. The human who becomes the owner of the Death Note can, in exchange of half his/her remaining life, get the eyes of the Shinigami which will enable him/her to see a human's name and remaining life span when looking through them.
 1. A god of death cannot be killed even if stabbed in his heart with a knife or shot in the head with a gun. However, there are ways to kill a Shinigami, which are not generally known to the Shinigami.
 1. The specific scope of the condition for death is not known to the Shinigami, either. So, you must examine and find out.
These are not all the rules but the main and you get the idea of what the death note does.
So it all begins when a shinigami (god of death) named 'ryuk' drops his notebook into the 'human world' A young high school student, Light Yagami, finds the notebook on the floor and decides to kill off all criminals and become a 'god' of the 'new world' by getting rid of all evil. It later becomes battle to the death between the two greatest minds the world has between L and Light.
What is good about this anime is that you could take a side of either L, a very talented detective, or Light. L doesn't believe all criminals should be killed and works with police to stop light or aka 'Kira'.
I don't want to go into the entire series and say what i thought was best but i want to say what i thought about the death of L. After L dies, the anime seems to die a bit. I wouldn't mind if he died at the end of the series with Light but bringing Near into it was just like a smaller, younger version of L and i didn't like him at all really.
What i wanted to ask in this post, to the fans of death note, is what you think the ending should of been like. So an alternative ending? Or do you actually like the ending how it was, if so why do you think that?

What will be the impacts if Haskell uses "!" instead of keyword "not" as the operator of logical not? [on hold]
 - A+
Category：Languages
I'm a new Haskell learner. I do not know much about the syntax mechanism behind Haskell.
In some imperative programming languages, such as C/Java, the exclamation point "!" is used as logic not.
Meanwhile, Haskell use keyword "not" as "logical not". However, Haskell use "&&" and "||" as logical operators.
Obviously, Haskell avoids using "!" to express concepts of "not", e.g. "not equal" is "/=" but not "!=".
In another point of view, I guess, if the keyword "module" is changed to "package", nothing serious will happen except altering all "module" with "package" in all existing codes.
I wonder, if one changes the keyword "not" to "!" in Haskell, what will happen?
Complements:
 1. As pointed by @chi, i made a mistake. "not" is not a keyword, it is a library function.
 2. As pointed by @user202729, i did not tell my question clearly. I am wondering what will happen when "not" is replaced by "!". That is to say, when the founders design Haskell and they use "!" to work as logical not, MAYBE "!" cannot be used as array indexing. Then the founders try another way to index an element in array (with []? i don't know). Then something like chain-reacting goes on. Does this change Haskell much?

You can even try this if you are satisfied with a postfix operator, but this requires the use of the PostfixOperators language extension
{-# LANGUAGE PostfixOperators #-} (!) = not main = print (True !) -- False
I find this to be quite reasonable, not.

You are authorized to specify who can access any page on which you also have
Edit Page permission. Among those you authorize to access the page, you can assign varying levels of access, so that some users can edit the page while others can merely view it. If you prefer, you can specify that the page inherits its access settings from the application.
You may want to open a page to many users, but limit the exposure of a particular page component to a specific user, a user group, or to users who are assigned a specific application role. You can accomplish this by associating a security-related EL expression with the component instance.
This chapter provides information about securing pages and page components. It includes the following sections:
This chapter is intended for space Moderators and Participants and for page editors with the
create, edit, and delete permission on pages and on the services that provide the components to be secured. For more information about application roles and permissions, see Section 21.2, "Managing Application Roles and Permissions."
Page properties include a Security tab with controls for specifying who can do what to the current page (Figure 23-1).
The options that appear on the Security tab vary according to whether you are accessing the tab from a space page or a Home space page (Figure 23-1 shows the options for a Home space page).
This section describes how to set page access through page properties. It is also possible to set page access through the Personalize Pages page. Setting page access through the Personalize Pages page is discussed in Section 38.2, "Controlling User Access to Your Personal Pages."
Page access permissions set through the Page Properties dialog in Composer are committed after you click OK in the Page Properties dialog. Closing Composer without saving does not discard such changes.
Page access permissions set through the Personalize Pages page take effect after you click OK in the Set Page Access dialog.
To access the Security tab in the Page Properties dialog:
Go to the page you want to secure, and open it in Composer.
To open a page in edit mode (Composer), press Ctrl-Shift-E.
Click the Page Properties button (Figure 23-2).
In the Page Properties dialog, click the Security tab to bring it forward (Figure 23-3).
Space pages only:
To specify that the page should inherit access settings from the permissions established for the space, select Use Application Permissions (Figure 23-4), then click OK to save your changes and exit the dialog.
For more information about setting global space permissions, see Section 52.2, "Managing Roles and Permissions for a Space."
To set custom access on the current page, select Use Custom Access Settings.
If you select Use Custom Access Settings, continue with the next steps.
To grant page access permissions to all authenticated users, that is, to users who are logged in to the Spaces application, click Add Authenticated Access.
authenticated-role is added under Role or User.
To grant page access permissions to all public users, that is, users who have not logged in to the Spaces application, click Add Public Access.
anonymous-role is added under Role or User.
To grant page access to the
anonymous-role (that is, to enable users who are not logged in to access the space) the space must be public. The space cannot be private or hidden.
To grant page access permissions to selected users, groups, and application roles, click the Add Access button to open the Add Access dialog (Figure 23-5).
In the Search field, enter a search term, such as the name of the user, group, or role for whom to enable access, and click the Search icon.
Search terms must contain at least two characters.
Select a user, group, or role by clicking in its row.
When you select a user name, the permissions you set are granted to that specific user. When you select a group or application role, the permissions you set are granted to all users who are members of that group or who are assigned that role.
To make multiple selections:
Ctrl-Click to select multiple rows.
Shift-Click to select a range of rows.
The Add Access dialog closes, and the Set Page Access dialog populates with the selected users (Figure 23-6).
For each user, group, or role, grant access by selecting one or more access permissions from the Page Access columns (Table 23-1).
Users can access the page for viewing, but cannot perform any other actions on the page.
Users can edit the page using Composer. This includes adding, rearranging, and deleting content; renaming the page; and changing page properties.
Users can delete the page.
Users can perform all actions on the page.
Users can rearrange page content and personalize his or her view of task flows, provided the task flow includes personalization settings.
By default, all authenticated users and user roles that you add to the Set Page Access dialog are granted page view access. The other access privileges require page view access.
Click OK to save your changes and close the Set Page Access dialog.
There may be pages you want to expose to many users that have components you want only a select set of users—or even only one other user—to see. For example, imagine that you have created a space for all sales people. The space's home page includes two Announcements task flow instances: one for all sales people and one for sales managers only. You can secure the second Announcements instance so that only those users assigned the custom role
sales_manager can see it.
Any component that has an associated
Show Component property can be secured in this way. Those components that do not have an associated
Show Component property can be placed inside a component that does, and in this way be secured. For example, you can place an Announcements task flow, which does not have an associated
Show Component property, inside a Box layout component, which does. You can set the property on the Box, and that setting will also affect the display of Announcements.
You can also set security on the custom components that you import through the Resource Manager. For more information, see Section 10.4.4, "Setting Security for a Resource."
To set access on a component instance:
Go to the component instance you want to secure and access its Display Options properties.
For information about accessing component properties, see Section 17.5.2, "Setting Properties on Page Components."
Open the Expression Builder by clicking the Edit icon to the right of the
Show Component property and selecting Expression Builder (Figure 23-7).
Under Type a Value or Expression, enter one of the following EL expressions:
To expose a component only to members of a particular scope who are assigned a particular role in that scope, enter:
In lieu of
role, enter the role name, for example
The scope is implicitly resolved to be the current scope:
If you use this EL in the Home space, it resolves to Home space GUID and roles defined at the application level.
If you use this EL in a space scope, it resolves to roles defined for the space.
To expose a component only to members of a group, enter:
In lieu of
group_name, enter the name of the group, for example
To expose a component only to a specific user, enter:
In lieu of
user_name, enter the user name, for example
For more information about EL expressions, see Appendix B, "Expression Language Expressions." For information about EL expressions relevant to security, see Section B.4.3, "EL Expressions Relevant to Application Security."
Click OK to exit the Expression Builder, and click OK to save your changes and exit the Component Properties dialog.
Click Save and then Close to exit Composer.
The secured component appears only to those users with the name, role, or group you specified.

Achieving PAT Goals with Process Analytics Equipment
Pharmaceutical manufacturers need to focus on quality and cost efficiency. Traditionally, the pharmaceutical industry evaluates quality on samples tested in the laboratory. The FDA has encouraged the industry to implement in-line tools as described in the PAT initiative, with the goal being to better understand and control the manufacturing process.
This white paper focuses on a new technology used to assist the measurement of pH and dissolved oxygen in bioreactors, as well as in product purification and downstream processing. pH and dissolved oxygen measurement are classical tools. Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM), a break-through improvement to these measurement parameters, offers diagnostic tools that aid optimization of the lifetime, performance and reliability of process analytical equipment. It is much better to predict problems before they happen, than to have to respond rapidly because a sensor has failed in service. Intelligent Sensor Management means higher process safety, higher productivity and less downtime.

Victoria's Riflebird, Ptiloris victoriae, (named for Queen Victoria) is one of three Riflebirds occurring in Australia. They are so named because it is said the "call", such as it is, sounds like a discharging rifle. To me it sounds more like a loud squawk of the Spotted Catbird. The birds are primarily fruit-eaters and visit the bird feeder often where they eat bananas, raisins and other fruits in season. The decurved beak is used to pry insects from tight places. Adult males are spectacular with their black iridescent plumage that glistens metallic green and blue when they fly. The feathers produce a peculiar sound when they fly reminiscent of the crumpling of cellophane. Their courtship displays are elaborate as are those of their northern cousins and they sometimes display in the vegetation adjacent to the feeder. The birds are not monogamous. The nest is a small bowl and is often decorated with snake skins. Females and subadult males are brown streaked. These photos were taken at our feeder by noted wildlife photographer Gary Wilson.

Imperatively modifying store data
Data in Relay stores can be imperatively modified within updater functions.
When to use updaters
Complex client updates
You might provide an updater function if the changes to local data are more complex than what can be achieved by simply writing a network response to the store and cannot be handled by the declarative mutation directives.
Client schema extensions
In addition, since the network response necessarily will not include data for fields defined in client schema extensions, you may wish to use an updater to initialize data defined in client schema extensions.
Use of other APIs
Lastly, there are things you can only achieve using updaters, such as invalidating nodes, deleting nodes, finding all connections at a given field, etc.
If multiple optimistic responses modify a given store value
If two optimistic responses affect a given value, and the first optimistic response is rolled back, the second one will remain applied.
For example, if two optimistic responses each increase a story's like count by one, and the first optimistic response is rolled back, the second optimistic response remains applied. However, it is not recalculated, and the value of the like count will remain increased by two.
When not to use updaters
To trigger other side effects
You should use the onCompleted callback to trigger other side effects. onCompleted callbacks are guaranteed to be called once, but updaters and optimistic updaters can be called repeatedly.
The various types of updater functions
The useMutation and commitMutation APIs accept configuration objects which can include optimisticUpdater and updater fields. The requestSubscription and useSubscription APIs accept configuration objects which can include updater fields.
In addition, there is another API (commitLocalUpdate) which also accepts an updater function. It will be discussed in the Other APIs for modifying local data section.
Optimistic updaters vs updaters
Mutations can have both optimistic and regular updaters. Optimistic updaters are executed when a mutation is triggered. When that mutation completes or errors, the optimistic update is rolled back.
Regular updaters are executed when a mutation completes successfully.
Example
Let's construct an example in which an is_new_comment field (which is defined in a schema extension) is set to true on a newly created Feedback object in a mutation updater.
# Feedback.graphql
extend type Feedback {
is_new_comment: Boolean
}
// CreateFeedback.js
import type {Environment} from 'react-relay';
import type {
FeedbackCreateData,
CreateFeedbackMutation,
CreateFeedbackMutation$data,
} from 'CreateFeedbackMutation.graphql';
const {commitMutation, graphql} = require('react-relay');
const {ConnectionHandler} = require('relay-runtime');
function commitCreateFeedbackMutation(
environment: Environment,
input: FeedbackCreateData,
) {
return commitMutation<FeedbackCreateData>(environment, {
mutation: graphql'
mutation CreateFeedbackMutation($input: FeedbackCreateData!) {
feedback_create(input: $input) {
feedback {
id
# Step 1: in the mutation response, spread an updatable fragment (defined below).
# This updatable fragment will select the fields that we want to update on this
# particular feedback object.
...CreateFeedback_updatable_feedback
}
}
}
',
variables: {input},
// Step 2: define an updater
updater: (store: RecordSourceSelectorProxy, response: ?CreateCommentMutation$data) => {
// Step 3: Access and nullcheck the feedback object.
// Note that this could also have been achieved with the @required directive.
const feedbackRef = response?.feedback_create?.feedback;
if (feedbackRef == null) {
return;
}
// Step 3: call store.readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL
const {updatableData} = store.readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL(
// Step 4: Pass it a fragment literal, where the fragment contains the @updatable directive.
// This fragment selects the fields that you wish to update on the feedback object.
// In step 1, we spread this fragment in the query response.
graphql'
fragment CreateFeedback_updatable_feedback on Feedback @updatable {
is_new_comment
}
',
// Step 5: Pass the fragment reference.
feedbackRef
);
// Step 6: Mutate the updatableData object!
updatableData.is_new_comment = true;
},
});
}
module.exports = {commit: commitCreateFeedbackMutation};
Let's distill what's going on here.
 - The updater accepts two parameters: a RecordSourceSelectorProxy and an optional object that is the result of reading out the mutation response.
 - The type of this second argument is a nullable version of the $data type that is imported from the generated mutation file.
 - The second argument contains just the data selected directly by the mutation argument. In other words, it will not contain any fields selected solely by spread fragments.
 - This updater is executed after the mutation response has been written to the store.
 - In this example updater, we do three things:
 - First, we spread an updatable fragment in the mutation response.
 - Second, we read out the fields selected by this fragment by calling readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL. This returns an updatable proxy object.
 - Third, we update fields on this updatable proxy.
 - Once this updater completes, the updates that have been recorded are written to the store, and all affected components are re-rendered.
Example 2: Updating data in response to user interactions
Let's consider the common case of updating store data in response to a user interaction. In a click handler, let's a toggle an is_selected field. This field is defined on Users in a client schema extension.
# User.graphql
extend type User {
is_selected: Boolean
}
// UserSelectToggle.react.js
import type {RecordSourceSelectorProxy} from 'react-relay';
import type {UserSelectToggle_viewer$key} from 'UserSelectToggle_viewer.graphql';
const {useRelayEnvironment, commitLocalUpdate} = require('react-relay');
function UserSelectToggle({ userId, viewerRef }: {
userId: string,
viewerRef: UserSelectToggle_viewer$key,
}) {
const viewer = useFragment(graphql'
fragment UserSelectToggle_viewer on Viewer {
user(user_id: $user_id) {
id
name
is_selected
...UserSelectToggle_updatable_user
}
}
', viewerRef);
const environment = useRelayEnvironment();
return <button
onClick={() => {
commitLocalUpdate(
environment,
(store: RecordSourceSelectorProxy) => {
const userRef = viewer.user;
if (userRef == null) {
return;
}
const {updatableData} = store.readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL(
graphql'
fragment UserSelectToggle_updatable_user on User @updatable {
is_selected
}
',
userRef
);
updatableData.is_selected = !viewer?.user?.is_selected;
}
);
}}
>
{viewer?.user?.is_selected ? 'Deselect' : 'Select'} {viewer?.user?.name}
</button>
}
Let's distill what's going on here.
 - In a click handler, we call commitLocalUpdate, which accepts a Relay environment and an updater function. Unlike in the previous examples, this updater does not accept a second parameter because there is no associated network payload.
 - In this updater function, we access get an updatable proxy object by calling store.readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL, and toggle the is_selected field.
 - Like the previous example in which we called readUpdatableFragment_EXPERIMENTAL, this can be rewritten to use the readUpdatableQuery_EXPERIMENTAL API.
note
This example can be rewritten using the environment.commitPayload API, albeit without type safety.
Alternative API: readUpdatableQuery_EXPERIMENTAL.
In the previous examples, we used an updatable fragment to access the record whose fields we want to update. This can also be possible to do with an updatable query.
If we know the path from the root (i.e. the object whose type is Query) to the record we wish to modify, we can use the readUpdatableQuery_EXPERIMENTAL API to achieve this.
For example, we could set the viewer's name field in response to an event as follows:
// NameUpdater.react.js
function NameUpdater({ queryRef

Jaro–Winkler distance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 (Redirected from Jaro-Winkler distance)
Jump to navigation Jump to search
In computer science and statistics, the Jaro–Winkler distance is a string metric measuring an edit distance between two sequences. It is a variant proposed in 1990 by William E. Winkler of the Jaro distance metric (1989, Matthew A. Jaro).
The Jaro–Winkler distance uses a prefix scale which gives more favourable ratings to strings that match from the beginning for a set prefix length .
The lower the Jaro–Winkler distance for two strings is, the more similar the strings are. The score is normalized such that 0 equates to no similarity and 1 is an exact match. The Jaro–Winkler similarity is the inversion, (1 − Jaro–Winkler distance).
Although often referred to as a distance metric, the Jaro–Winkler distance is not a metric in the mathematical sense of that term because it does not obey the triangle inequality.
Definition[edit]
Jaro Similarity[edit]
The Jaro Similarity of two given strings and is
Where:
 - is the length of the string ;
 - is the number of matching characters (see below);
 - is half the number of transpositions (see below).
Two characters from and respectively, are considered matching only if they are the same and not farther than .
Each character of is compared with all its matching characters in . The number of matching (but different sequence order) characters divided by 2 defines the number of transpositions. For example, in comparing CRATE with TRACE, only 'R' 'A' 'E' are the matching characters, i.e. m=3. Although 'C', 'T' appear in both strings, they are farther than 1 (the result of ). Therefore, t=0 . In DwAyNE versus DuANE the matching letters are already in the same order D-A-N-E, so no transpositions are needed.
Jaro–Winkler Similarity[edit]
Jaro–Winkler similarity uses a prefix scale which gives more favorable ratings to strings that match from the beginning for a set prefix length . Given two strings and , their Jaro–Winkler similarity is:
where:
 - is the Jaro similarity for strings and
 - is the length of common prefix at the start of the string up to a maximum of four characters
 - is a constant scaling factor for how much the score is adjusted upwards for having common prefixes. should not exceed 0.25, otherwise the similarity could become larger than 1. The standard value for this constant in Winkler's work is
The Jaro-Winkler distance is defined as .
Although often referred to as a distance metric, the Jaro–Winkler distance is not a metric in the mathematical sense of that term because it does not obey the triangle inequality.[1] The Jaro–Winkler distance also does not satisfy the identity axiom .
Relationship with other edit distance metrics[edit]
There are other popular measures of edit distance, which are calculated using a different set of allowable edit operations. For instance,
Edit distance is usually defined as a parameterizable metric calculated with a specific set of allowed edit operations, and each operation is assigned a cost (possibly infinite). This is further generalized by DNA sequence alignment algorithms such as the Smith–Waterman algorithm, which make an operation's cost depend on where it is applied.

The Truth About Divorce After Traumatic Brain Injury
Comments [32]
Jeff Kreutzer and Jenny Marwitz, Virginia Commonwealth Model Systems of Care
The Truth About Divorce After Traumatic Brain Injury
Have you heard that the divorce rate after brain injury is really high? Have you read that the divorce rate for couples after brain injury is higher than the divorce rate for the general population? If you are a spouse or survivor of brain injury, you may be wondering whether your marriage is at risk.
Media reports suggest that as many as one half of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce. In fact, recent census data indicates that nearly half of all marriages will end in divorce. Believing that the divorce rate after brain injury is higher than the general divorce rate could be very frightening.
Research has given a mixed picture of divorce rates after brain injury. In the 1970s, researchers began to study post-injury divorce rates and found that 40% of couples were either separated or divorced seven years after injury. A review of studies published after 1980 shows alarmingly high post-injury divorce rates ranging from 48% to 78%.
There is little doubt that brain injury can strain marriages. Spouses often take on many of the injured person's responsibilities, though they may have little experience with their new responsibilities. Unemployment rates after brain injury are relatively high and many insurance companies do not cover the costs of therapy, adding to financial stresses. Brain injury often brings on drastic personality changes which may include irritability, depression, limited awareness of injury-related changes, and argumentativeness. Some spouses have reported, "I'm married, but have no husband" and/or "I'm married to a stranger."
Knowing the importance of marriage and the need to provide families with valid information, Traumatic Brain Injury Model System (TBIMS) researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) looked more closely at research on marriage after brain injury. They found that many of the earlier studies were carried out in Europe where the social and legal system is different than the United States. Furthermore, many of the studies relied on small sample sizes which may not accurately reflect the larger population.
In 2007, Virginia Commonwealth University TBI Model Systems researchers published one of the first comprehensive investigations of marriage after brain injury. The researchers gathered information from 120 people with mild, moderate, and severe injuries who were married at the time of their injury. Survivors three to eight years post-injury, averaging 41 years of age, were asked about their marital status. Results showed that 3 out of 4 (90/120) remained married at the time of follow-up.
As a result of their research, the VCU investigators became concerned that past studies may have produced misleading negative information. In their published research paper, the authors stated, "The present investigation does not [support] the notion that divorce rates for persons with brain injury are higher than those for the general population."
In 2008, VCU investigators led a multicenter research team which investigated marital stability after brain injury. Information on marital status was collected at 16 NIDRR-funded TBI Model Systems around the country. This study was the largest scale study on marriage after brain injury to date and included 977 persons from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The research team found that 85% of survivors remained married for at least two years post injury.
In summary, recent research suggests the rate of divorce after brain injury may, in fact, be much lower than divorce rates for the general population. The news is encouraging. While some spouses report more stresses and marital troubles post-injury, some report connecting with each other in new, positive ways as they face injury-related challenges together.
Marriage is clearly an important part of our culture and a major element of many people's lives. Still, more research is needed to better understand how injury affects marriages and what can be done to preserve and enrich relationships. First, we need to better understand how the quality of relationships is affected in good and bad ways. Second, we must develop strategies to strengthen marriages so that both partners describe the relationship as positive and fulfilling. There is good reason to be hopeful.

My husband had a TBI a little over 5 yrs. ago. We have been married 21 years. He was in the hospital for 6 months. I never knew if he would recover or if he would be able to be home. He eventually came home & went through so many different therapist. Im happy he is doing better but at the same time I never been so miserable. Like so many others have said "I'm living with a stranger." His personality is so different & he just sits on the couch all day watching tv. He never has any incentive to do anything but watch TV & eat. He will go with me to do grocery shopping but never suggests what we should buy or eat or what to do. He is verbally abusive & when I try to confront him about things he says to people that is embarrassing & rude he acts like he doesn't do anything wrong & gets furious with me. I can never have a decent conversation with him. He can hurt my feelings & he acts like he's mr. wonderful. I know he can't help having a brain injury but I feel depressed & guilty that at my age I'm insecure in the relationship & don't feel like I'm in love anymore with him. I feel totally helpless.

To the woman who's husband can have conversations with others but not her without fighting: I am a wife and the TBI and also seem to have conversations with others just fine and yet argue with my husband terrifically. I don't understand exactly what is happening, although I know it's usually that I am severely overstimulated and looking to him to help me vs to be a spouse for me. He has given me sound proof headphones which helps and I try to have a brain break before heading about his day so that I'm fresh for his and my relationship time. Also I find driving helps us as I sit in the passenger seat and can listen to him without taking in all the nonverbal information when sitting face to face. Maybe things like that could help you and your husband. Also I asked my husband to ask me questions to help me think like: do you think you need a brain break? Is this store environment overstimulating you? Do you need to go shut our light and sound for sheiks and then listen to me talk about my day? Things like this seem to help us. I hope that helps. Hang in there, he loves you and needs you and it will get better. Brain breaks are key! Also has he looked into yoked prism glasses and vision therapy? It's been the ONLY things after 4-5 years that has started my husband telling me he sees his wife coming back. Something called the MIT device or 'fixation' has been a huge success with me and you might look into it with your vision therapy Doctor. Good luck and find things that aren't stimulating that you can do together. Best! ~JK=)

My husband had a TBI in 2010. He is rude. Can't handle crowds or traffic. He is ocd about everything. Physically he is fine. They did surgery on the left frontal lobe. He is so impatient and everything that happens is my fault in his eyes. He is controlling and verbally abusive. As long as his daily routine goes uninterrupted life is fine. He can't have a normal conversation with me without yelling..but he can manage to work with others without yelling. I have felt bad because I want to leave and I know he can't help the state he is in.. But he believes he is fine and says I am the one with the problem... Help me..to make him see he needs help

I suffered a severe TBI in 1993 at the age of 21, my wife and I were only married for 3 months and pregnant with our first child at the time. Nothing in my life is the same as before, everything has changed, I never recovered fully but learned how to cope, manage and hide my injuries. The rehab hospital I was in actually offered to help my wife get a divorce lawyer (because marriages with head injuries don't last) My wife told them to **** off and that we would make it. 24 years later we are still together and I have changed from being a roofer to an IT specialist making 60k/yr. Like I said I


Exploring Guangzhou: 4 Interesting Things To Do
There are many cities around the world known for being busy trade destinations and Guangzhou happens to be one of them.
Despite the busyness within the trade area of this city, the rest of the streets have quite a different atmosphere, which is laidback and calm. Visitors can spend their time in this city exploring sights, both old and new, while admiring how past and current traditions and thoughts blend together seamlessly.
Here are 4 things that everyone must do while visiting Guangzhou:
1. Go to the Top of Canton Tower
things to do in Guangzhou: Canton Tower
Canton Tower is the tallest building within Guangzhou and the second tallest one in the entire country. Those who venture to the top will find themselves four hundred and fifty meters in the air on the observation deck, as they see panoramic views of the city. The best time to visit this tower is at night, as the views include the magic from the city being lit up.
2. Visit Shamian Island
things to do in Guangzhou: Shamian Island
The trade industry was important on this island until the middle of the 19th century, and while some of that history is still present, visitors can tell that the colonial influence is everywhere. As people wander around the island, they will see how some areas have been influenced by one country, while other areas have been influenced by other countries. The French Catholic Church is one of the main attractions on the island, as are the row of houses that used to be known as the Thirteen Factories.
3. Visit the Chimelong Zoo
things to do in Guangzhou: Chimelong Zoo
This zoo is also a safari park, circus, amusement park, water park, golf center, and resort, so people will find something that they love when they visit! Everyone can either ride in a cart or walk past animals that are allowed to roam freely within the three hundred and twenty acres of this park and zoo. While the animals are wild, visitors are allowed to interact with a few of them. Although there are many animals, the most popular one is the pandas, and the only area of the country that has more than they do here is Chengdu. There is also a crocodile farm with at least one hundred thousand crocodiles that many people are fascinated by. The amusement park has some amazing rides, as does the waterpark, so visitors may want to plan on spending at least a day here.
4. Take One of the Pearl River Cruises
things to do in Guangzhou: Pearl River Cruises
The Pearl River is the third largest river in the country and one of the best ways for visitors to see the city of Guangzhou is to take a cruise along this river. While the daytime cruises are wonderful, most people will prefer the evening ones when the city is lit up bright under the nighttime sky. A few of the places that cruisers will see include the Nanfang Mansion, the White Swan Hotel, the White Goose Pool, and the Guangzhou Bridge.
These four things are the highlights of this fabulous city, but there are many other attractions that everyone will want to visit when they are there. These four things only touch upon the beauty that is everywhere in Guangzhou and there is plenty more waiting to be discovered.

Foreign Object Debris Detection and Automatic Elimination for Autonomous EV Wireless Charging Application
Published April 21, 2020 by SAE International in United States
Citation: Ahmad, A., Alam, M., Rafat, Y., Shariff, S. et al., "Foreign Object Debris Detection and Automatic Elimination for Autonomous EV Wireless Charging Application," SAE Technical Paper 08-09-02-0006, 2020, _URL_
Power pad designing, misalignment reduction, safety, automation, living object detection (LOD), and foreign object debris (FOD) detection are the key challenges in the commercialization of the high voltage wireless charging of Electric Vehicles (EV). The interruption from unwanted and sensitive foreign objects such as metal objects and living objects over the charging pads is an immense challenge for the static wireless charging of EV. In this manuscript, the problem of interference due to foreign objects and living objects has been analyzed, and an innovative laser- and sensor-based FOD detection method is proposed and verified by developing a prototype setup. Modeling and analysis of the effects of foreign objects have been performed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Ansys Maxwell® environment. The analysis compares the consequence of the presence of foreign objects on the wireless charging power pad. The proposed method utilizes laser light and sensor for the detection and two-dimensional signal processing for the elimination of FOD. The proposed method is compatible with all types of static wireless charging systems without interrupting the power transfer and power circuit. The proposed system has been analyzed and compared with the various available FOD detection techniques. The feasibility of the proposed system has been assessed with the help of an on the bench hardware prototype implementation in the lab environment.

Whether you're researching keywords, reviewing lead sources, or analyzing customer attributes from a CRM export, Google Sheets' COUNTIF and COUNTIFS formulas can help.
These two spreadsheet formulas will only count a cell (from a range of cells) if specific criteria are met.
Recently, a multichannel retailer wanted to analyze five years' worth of lead and conversion data from its customer relationship management software. Leads might come from the retailer's website, its various digital marketing efforts, offline advertising, or folks just walking into a store.
…a multichannel retailer wanted to analyze five years' worth of lead and conversion data…
The company sells relatively expensive products that range from $10,000 to $50,000 each. Thus, it may take a few contacts to close a sale. Understanding which sources produce leads could help the retailer understand how to get more customers.
Unfortunately, the company's CRM did not provide the required report. So a couple of folks from the retailer's marketing department exported the data in comma-separated values format. This CSV file was uploaded to a Google Sheet, and thanks to COUNTIF and COUNTIFS, it was fairly easy to identify which lead sources produced the most sales.
To demonstrate how to apply COUNTIF and COUNTIFS formulas, I'll use sample data.
The data has four columns: an order number, the U.S. state from which the order was placed, the lead source, and the sale amount. For the examples, I'll focus on just two of these columns: the state and the lead source. The name of the sheet is "Lead Data." Notice that I included this name the range of cells.
I will create a second sheet to analyze lead sources by U.S. state. This sheet will have a column to list the states, the total count for each state, and the count and percentage of the total for each lead source.
I will use the COUNTIF formula to get the total number of orders originating from each state. The formula accepts two parameters, the range and the criterion.
The range is any set of cells in the current sheet or another sheet. Our range will come from the "Lead Data" sheet and not the current one.
Typing "=COUNTIF" into the formula bar in Google Sheets will auto-generate formula options from a list. Select "=COUNTIF" and navigate to the range and then drag to select it.
When a cell contains text, the criterion is quoted. For our example, I first wanted to get a count of all of the sales to California — designated as "CA" in the cells of the state column. This is what the COUNTIF formula looked like:
=COUNTIF('Lead Data'!B2:B25, "CA")
The section describing the sheet and range uses 'Lead Data'!B2:B25 as the range and the state ("CA") for the criterion. If the range had been in the same or current sheet, it would not have included the sheet name.
I can use this same approach to get the count for each state on the list.
The formula is similar to COUNTIF. In this case, we are counting only rows that have "CA" in the state column.
=COUNTIFS('Lead Data'!B2:B25, "CA")
To this, we add a comma, followed by a second range and a second criterion — Facebook in this example.
=COUNTIFS('Lead Data'!B2:B25, "CA", 'Lead Data'!C2:C25, "Facebook")
Changing the criterion for the state will give us a count of the leads from Facebook that converted consumers from each state. For our example, I also wanted to know the percentage of total leads these represented. So I can add a slash and a reference to the total leads for a given state.
=COUNTIFS(('Lead Data'!B2:B25, "CA", 'Lead Data'!C2:C25, "Facebook")/B3)
You can also include operators in the criterion value for either COUNTIF or COUNTIFS. Place these inside the quotation marks surrounding the criterion value.
Here are some examples.
- "<>CA" — Not equal "CA" where "<>" means not equal.
- ">10" — Greater than 10.
- "<10" — Less than 10.
- ">=10" — Greater than or equal to 10.
- "<=10" — Less than or equal to 10.
Finally, there are also two available wildcard characters for criterion values.
-? — Matches any single character.
- * — Matches zero or more contiguous characters.
To match an actual? or *, put a tilde (~) in front of it. For example, "~?" would match a question mark.

Concierge medicine, also known as "retention medicine" or "boutique", is a healthcare model in which patients pay an initial fee to access the services of a doctor. This type of care delivery model has been around for almost two decades and is becoming increasingly popular due to its convenience and personalized care. It is estimated that 12,000 doctors currently practice concierge medicine in the United States, although it is still not a widely understood concept. The main benefit of concierge care for both caregivers and patients is the additional time and care that patients receive.
However, there are some criticisms of concierge healthcare, such as limiting access to care for underserved populations. It is important to note that concierge medicine is not a substitute for health insurance, especially if you need to see a specialist or have a condition that requires treatment that your primary care doctor cannot provide. Several organizations are now establishing concierge health care services aimed at the most vulnerable populations. Healthcare Dive outlines the concierge programs offered by Massachusetts General Hospital, the Cleveland Clinic and the Inova Health System.
Rheumatology Advisor notes that, as more health care providers choose to follow the concierge model, the shortage of doctors worsens, especially in the primary care areas of internal medicine, family medicine and pediatrics. The growing demand for concierge services is due to patients' desire to have more convenient access to their primary caregivers. If you're thinking of adding a janitor to your team of health care providers, look for companies that promote the concierge service as low-cost health insurance. This trend also creates professional opportunities for nurses and nursing professionals, largely due to the growing range of health services that are now included in the field of concierge medicine. However, a common misperception among caregivers is that concierge health care allows them to earn more money.
While it is true that they can charge higher fees than traditional doctors, they also have higher overhead costs and may not be able to take on as many patients as they would like.

I guess that Haskell's referential transparence means the answers to
the isPerfectSquare will be cached, ie automatically memoized? (not
sure if is correct term?)
Just out of interest, what is the upper bound for the catheti in the
question? How much memory is the perfectSquares list taking up?
- you're calculating the square by multiplying two numbers, maybe that
could be done more quickly
Quick back of envelope:
1 x 1 = 1
2 x 2 = 4 = 1 + 1 + 2
3 x 3 = 9 = 4 + 2 + 3
4 x 4 = 16 = 9 + 3 + 4
... in other words, you can use dynamic programming to calculate each
perfect square, getting each square as:
square(n+1) = square(n) + (n - 1) + (n)
Maybe this could save some CPU?

The primary methods to improve a Transaction check using Uptime.com are to:
- Improve the data received on an outage
- Validate specific elements are functioning as intended
This FAQ offers an advanced use case that will teach best practices of Wait for Element and various Validators that Uptime.com can use in a Transaction check. The goal of this tutorial is to teach you how to use the Transaction check to identify specific elements and validate a page and its associated infrastructure are rendering properly.
Uptime.com Demo Check | Improve Homepage Form Testing
This demo check will show how commands and validators can provide more specific data to your team:
This check is off to a good start. It verifies our status code and makes sure the Uptime.com tagline renders properly, but the one-second wait time won't tell us how our site performs.
Tip 1: Wait for Elements, Not seconds
When the next URL or step in a form takes too long to load, it's tempting during testing to add Wait for 1 Second steps. These steps add unnecessary time to your check, and are not the most accurate way to gauge latency issues. What if the render takes longer than the time you've designated?
Instead, use Wait for Element to Exist. Wait for Element to Exist has an individual step timeout of 25 seconds, and it's a much more accurate gauge of performance. The check will move on to its next step once the element is detected. If your check times out, you can investigate this step and its associated moving parts for performance issues.
We'll use this technique to verify our form is rendering.
We copy the CSS selector for this form:
Then we replace the "Wait for 1 Second" command we used in step three with a "Wait For Element to Exist" command to check for this form:
Next, we'll enter a URL and test the form.
Tip 2: Click vs Submit for Forms
The Submit form command calls the submit method on a form, and has some specific use cases. It's almost always best to utilize Click Element instead if you're filling out a field and clicking a button to move to the next step. Examples include:
- Testing a call to action (as in this example)
- Testing a login form
- Testing a multi-step form
Copy the CSS Selector for the button Start a Free Trial.
Add two new steps that fill the Uptime.com URL into our field and click the button.
Tip 3: Verifying a Redirect
To verify a redirect, you need a command and validator to look for information on the page and check the URL. We started this process in the screenshot above.
Step 7 will wait for the next page to render by looking for the element that contains the information we passed along with our form:
Step 8 will check that this element contains "Uptime.com" (the data we passed in our form), and we'll combine this with our new step 9 to check that our URL is redirecting to its proper place. URL should contain looks for a string of text in your URL, and can check the entire URL if it's static, or just a partial string as we've used in this example:
URL should not contain does the opposite, and is equally useful when you want to be sure that a user is never seeing a particular URL.
A Quick Note on Status Codes
Uptime.com can check for a specific status code, even if that status code would normally indicate failure. There are some use cases where a feature is not publicly available, but administration should expect users who try to access this page to see a specific status code or output. If this example fits your use case, HTTP Status Code Should Be is a handy way to verify the page is rendering as expected.
Improving Your Transaction Check
These extra validators will give us more context for an outage. Here are some examples of outages this check will catch:
- Our homepage is giving us a status code other than 200
- Our tagline has been changed (we can confirm IT is aware)
- Our form is properly passing data
- Our redirect is working properly
We can also confirm none of the other elements in our other steps have been changed and are rendering as intended, especially useful after we've made a big change or deployment. The goal of your Transaction check should be to investigate errors with specific technical details Uptime.com generates as part of its error reporting, including screenshots and performance metrics.


Reynolds number effects on wavelet components of self-preserving turbulent structures

This technique decomposes turbulence structures into a number of components based on their central frequencies, which are linked with the turbulence scales. Sectional streamlines and vorticity contours at the same central frequency, i.e., the comparable scales of turbulent structures, are examined and compared between the two Reynolds numbers. Discernible differences are observed in the turbulent structures of relatively large to intermediate scales. The differences are further quantified in terms of contributions from the turbulent structures of different scales to the Reynolds stresses, vorticity variance, and probability density functions of the fluctuating velocities. The large-scale structure contributes most to the Reynolds stresses and this contribution drops for the higher Re .

Understanding Conversion Disorder And Hysterical Blindness As Seen In Kriti Garg's Raahu
In Subbu Veddula's Raahu, the protagonist played by Kriti Garg suffers from conversion disorder. We dug deeper to know about it.
A still from Raahu trailer
Debutant director Subbu Veddula's thriller film, Raahu features Kriti Garg and Aberaam Varma. The film incorporates many concepts that we are familiar with, like an eclipse. He also incorporates newer ideas like conversion disorder and hysterical blindness into the plot seamlessly. The protagonist of the film finds out that her stress levels escalate upon seeing blood. And this escalation causes her to become temporarily blind. Let's dig a little deeper into this phenomenon.
Watch the trailer of Raahu here:
Conversion disorder is a border term which acts as an umbrella for several conditions. These conditions include hysterical blindness, paralysis, seizures, hallucination, etc. What sets them apart from the regular medical conditions is the fact that they occur without permanent damage to our nervous system. These events occur in a fraction, and then our body quickly slips into its normalcy again. Which is why Bhanu could recover from her blindness in a few moments.
A Still from Raahu Trailer
Bhanu in Raahu
Despite being advanced with our technologies, there has been no concrete reason or cause behind conversion disorder. Some believe that these events are the body's way of suppressing physical or psychological stressors. And others also feel that these events occur from a trigger of the same physical or psychological stressors. While it may sound scary, it is proven that no single gene is responsible for such behaviour. And is not inheritable.
Bhanu in Raahu

Counselling, psychotherapy, hypnosis, physical therapy, occupational therapy are some of the more common ways to treat conversion disorder. The symptoms can be noticed in people as early as their adolescent stages. So, you might want to track your patterns and stay safe.

The SHSAT matching algorithm isn't that hard
January 15, 2016
My 13-year-old took the SHSAT in November, but we haven't heard the results yet. In fact we're expecting to wait two more months before we do.
What gives? Is it really that complicated to match kids to test schools?
A bit of background. In New York City, kids write down a list of their preferred public high schools that are not "SHSAT" schools. Separately, if they decide to take the SHSAT, they rank their preferences for those, which fall into a separate category and which include Stuyvesant and Bronx Science. They are promised that they will get into the first school on the list that their SHSAT score allows them to.
I often hear people say that the algorithm to figure out what SHSAT school a given kid gets into is super complicated and that's why it takes 4 months to find out the results. But yesterday at lunch, my husband and I proved that theory incorrect by coming up with a really dumb way of doing it.
 1. First, score all the tests. This is the time-consuming part of the process, but I assume it's automatically done by a machine somewhere in a huge DOE building in Brooklyn that I've heard about.
 2. Next, rank the kids according to score, highest first. Think of it as kids waiting in line at a supermarket check-out line, but in this scenario they just get their school assignment.
 3. Next, repeat the following step until all the schools are filled: take the first kid in line and give them their highest pick. Before moving on to the next kid, check to see if you just gave away the last possible slot to that particular school. If so, label that school with the score of that kid (it will be the cutoff score) and make everyone still in line erase that school from their list because it's full and no longer available.
 4. By construction, every kid gets the top school that their score warranted, so you're done.
A few notes and one caveat to this:
 1. Any kid with no schools in their list, either because they didn't score high enough for the cutoffs or because the schools all filled up before they got to the head of the line, won't get into an SHSAT school.
 2. The above algorithm would take very little time to actually run. As in, 5 minutes of computer time once the tests are scored.
 3. One caveat: I'm pretty sure they need to make sure that two kids with the same exact score and the same preference would both either get in or get out (because think of the lawsuit if not). So the actual way you'd implement the algorithm is when you ask for the next kid in line, you'd also ask for any other kid with the same score and the same top choice to step forward. Then you'd decide whether there's room for the whole group or not.
So, why the long wait? I'm pretty sure it's because the other public schools, the ones where there's no SHSAT exam to get in (but there are myriad other requirements and processes involved, see e.g. page 4 of this document) don't want people to be notified of their SHSAT placement 4 months before they get their say. It would foster too much unfair competition between the systems.
Finally, I'm guessing the algorithm for matching non-SHSAT schools is actually pretty complicated, which is I think why people keep talking about a "super complex algorithm." It's just not associated to the SHSAT.

 Wow, this post brought back memories! Way back in 98 I went to Bronx Science and I remember that wait time for the results very well. I wish your son the best of luck, getting into a SHS changed everything for me.

 I hope your child gets into the school of their choice.
 I think you left out the most obvious answers.
 1. DOE aims to be as opaque as possible, thus conveying complexity where none exists.
 2. It's the DOE and everything they do is S-L-O-W.
 My question to you, Cathy, is whether the algorithm is FAIR. It seems to be biased against lesser qualified students of color and, currently, rewards an unusually large number of Asian-Americans. Should SHSAT schools admit based on merit as defined by scores, or should they use a "holistic" approach?
 - January 15, 2016 at 9:36 am
 It's not at all fair. Especially if you consider the test prep. Unbelievable and unethical.
 - January 15, 2016 at 9:54 am
 Yes, but the Chinese-American students typically come from low socio-economic status homes, but their working parents sacrifice a great deal on prep courses so that their children will be better off then them.
 And, FTR, my older daughter got into Stuyvesant without any prep, but declined the offer.
 Even though you consider it unfair, I hope your child gets in to the school of their choice.
 - January 15, 2016 at 9:56 am
 It's obviously a nuanced kind of unfairness. And it's not obviously more unfair than other systems!

 When I was there, white and Asian students made up about 80% of the population. I'm not sure what the numbers are today.
 I was accepted into a program called MSI that helped kids from low socio-economic backgrounds get test prep and additional lessons to "catch us up". I only hope that there are more programs like that out there to help kids realize just how much they can accomplish. Once I got there, it was my first time interacting with kids from a different background and I really flourished.

 I used to be against all the test prep but now I'm not so sure. To add to the fact that many workingg class and middle class families do test prep is the overall end result.
 The top scoring kids would have made it in test prep or not so it's more that if you take the bottom let's say quarter of the accepted class and the an equal number of kids below the cutoff — they're all probably of similar ability and the test prep probably jumbled that bunch a bit but then, the test prep kids are being rewarded for hard work and industriousness to separate them from the kids just below the cutoff that didn't do the prep.

 A couple days ago I was prompted to ponder the question "So, why the long wait?" in the waiting room of an abysmally low-rated MD's office. The aha! moment came when I observed a drug peddler bypass the waiting room and walk straight back: "Of course! Silly me…this isn't a doctor's office, it's a drug dealership!"

 The only reason I was there in the first place was to get some forms signed on short notice, a service this particular MD specializes in providing.

 This is known as the "stable marriage problem" and you have, I'm pretty sure, reinvented the Gale-Shapley algorithm (1962). _URL_

 Actually, this is a simpler version of the problem, because in the general problem, each of the schools would have their own order of preference. Here you're assuming that all the schools have the same preference; namely the score.

 You may be interested in how Brazilian students get matched to (public) higher education institutions, based on their national admission exam score. It's an interactive (online) system where student state their two preferred schools (courses, actually). The system than calculates cut-off scores for every course (the lowest score you need to get in) and the next day students can change their preferences. Repeat this for three days.

 This is almost exactly how university admissions work in Ireland. The only difference is that ties are broken by random selection (which is ok, because we are a less litigious people). As you say, this is completely trivial and takes essentially zero time, at least for a list of approximately 60,000 kids.

5 Sights in Mettlach, Germany (with Map and Images)
Explore interesting sights in Mettlach, Germany. Click on a marker on the map to view details about it. Underneath is an overview of the sights with images. A total of 5 sights are available in Mettlach, Germany.List of cities in Germany Sightseeing Tours in Mettlach
1. Alter Turm
The Old Tower in Mettlach is the oldest preserved sacred building and at the same time the oldest preserved upright medieval building in the Saarland. It is the last surviving remnant of the Mettlach Abbey Church of St. Peter and Mary, which was demolished in 1819. The "Old Tower" is therefore one of the landmarks of the Saarland of national importance. The building was built around the years 990 to 994 by the then Irish abbot Lioffin (985–993) as the Ottonian burial chapel of St. Lutwinus, who had founded the monastery of St. Peter and Mary in Mettlach around the year 675. The "Old Tower" is one of the most important achievements of German art in terms of art history. It is one of the few preserved Ottonian central buildings as well as an architectural achievement of the European Middle Ages of high rank.
The current Lutwinus Chapel in the Mettlach district of Weite is a neo-Romanesque sacred building built in 1892 on a rock high above the Saar. It marks the place where, according to legendary tradition, Saint Liutwin/Lutwinus decided to found Mettlach Abbey in the 7th century. Structural remains of the previous buildings have been preserved at the site. On the cliff to the Saar rises a memorial cross. The chapel is a listed building.
3. St. Lutwinus
The Church of St. Lutwinus is a Roman Catholic parish and pilgrimage church in Mettlach, Merzig-Wadern district, Saarland. The church bears the patronage of St. Liutwin and is his burial church. The neo-Romanesque sacred building is listed in the Saarland list of monuments as a single monument. The church is the destination of the Lutwinus pilgrimage, which took place for centuries and has been revived since the early 2000s.
4. Kapelle Sankt Joseph
The Chapel of St. Joseph in Mettlach is a neo-Gothic sacred building of early historicism in the Saar region. The chapel, originally built in Wallerfangen in 1864, was demolished in 1878/1879 and relocated to Mettlach, where it was rebuilt in 1882 with minor changes. Since spring 2013 it has been accessible again after ten years of renovation.
The beer area is a tree in Kammerforst, Melziger. It is one of the oldest trees in Saarland, estimated to be over 300 years old, with a trunk diameter of at least 1.20 meters. It was destroyed in 2005.

Tallahassee, FL -- March 14, 2012 --
The bottom of Lake Iamonia, north of Tallahassee, is cleaner than it's been in years, thanks to a host of volunteers, county and state personnel.
Cleaning up the lake was the idea of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Officer Charles "Bucky" Higman, a 32-year-veteran officer who lives in Tallahassee, and Katie Woodside, an FWC freshwater fisheries biologist. Higman reached out to Josh McSwain, supervisor of parks for Leon County Parks and Recreation, and about 20 FSU students wanting to take part in community service work.
The group collected more than 2,500 pounds of litter, including cans and bottles, bait cups, broken chairs and even a recliner. The litter had been left on the banks of the receding lake by anglers over the last one to two years.
Leon County provided garbage bags and transported the filled bags to the county transfer station.
At full pool, Lake Iamonia covers just over 5,700 acres. It now covers approximately 200 acres, due to below-average rainfall in the area.
Hydrologists say Iamonia and several nearby lakes are "perched" lakes. Perched lakes sit over a thin limestone shelf over the Floridan aquifer. Also called karst formations, perched lakes typically have sinkholes. During a drought, when the water table drops, the water leaves the lake through the sinkholes.
"Our hope is people will help us by taking their trash and empty containers with them," Higman said. "This is a wonderful resource and we need everyone to help keep it clean."
While the lake is down, the FWC is working with contractors to remove approximately 24 acres of decaying organic material down to the mineralized soil. When normal rainfall returns, fisheries biologists say that many types of fish need the clean lake bottom for spawning and feeding.

User Data import example
Learn how to import a Customer Segment dimension to track your users' interests.
Importing user metadata, such as a loyalty rating or lifetime customer value, enables you to create highly relevant Segments and Remarketing Audience lists.
In this article:
You want to understand which features on your site are most popular with food and wine enthusiasts, sports enthusiasts, and other customer segments. You maintain a data file outside of Analytics that associates customer IDs with customer segments and you plan to upload this information into Analytics to use as the basis for a Remarketing Audience.
Step One: Decide what data to import
The user IDs that you upload need to match the user IDs that you set in the hits received by your site. Refer to the developer documentation to learn how to set user ID in hits.
Step Two: Create the Custom Dimension
Since Customer Segment doesn't exist as a dimension in Analytics, you'll need to create it as a Custom Dimension.
Custom Dimension Name Scope
Customer Segment User
Step Three: Create the Data Set
 1. Sign in to Google Analytics.
 3. In the PROPERTY column, click Data Import.
 4. Click New Data Set.
 5. Select User Data as the Type.
 6. Name the Data Set: Customer metadata
 7. Select one or more views in which you want to see this data.
 8. Define the Schema:
 Key: Visitor > User ID
 Imported Data: Custom Dimensions > Customer Segment
 Overwrite hit data: Yes
 Click Save.
Step Four: Create the CSV
Generating your upload CSV file is a 2-step process:
1. Get the header for the CSV
In the Data Set table, click Customer metadata. This will display the Data Set schema page.
Click Get schema. You'll see something similar to the following:
CSV header
This is the header you should use as the first line of your uploaded CSV files. The table below identifies the columns:
User ID Customer Segment
ga:userId ga:dimension16
2. Create a spreadsheet and export it as a CSV
Create a spreadsheet that follows the format above. The first (header) row of your spreadsheet should use the internal names (e.g. ga:pagePath instead of Page) provided in the Get schema dialog as shown above. The columns beneath each header cell should include the corresponding data for each header.
ga:userId ga:dimension16
456abc Food/Wine Enthusiasts
383ghz Food/Wine Enthusiasts
323hht Motorsports Enthusiasts
541vvv Motorsports Enthusiasts
 456abc,Food/Wine Enthusiasts
 383ghz,Food/Wine Enthusiasts
 323hht,Motorsports Enthusiasts
 541vvv,Motorsports Enthusiasts
Step Five: Upload the data
You can must now upload the CSV file you created to Analytics. You have two choices for uploading your data: manually, using the Analytics user interface, or programmatically, using the Management API.
Upload manually
 1. In the Data Set table, find the row for Customer metadata.
 2. Click Manage uploads for Data Set.
 3. Click Upload file, select the file, then click Upload.
Upload via the Management API
 2. Click the Data Set name.
 3. Click Get Custom Data Source ID.
 4. Copy the ID to the clipboard (e.g. CTRL-C).
 5. Follow these instructions to upload via the Management API.
Step Six: Analyze and take action
With the component pieces in place it is now possible to analyze the results and take action. For example, to create a Remarketing Audience, complete each of the steps below:
 1. Create a custom report
 2. Create a segment
 3. Create a remarketing audience
Create a custom report
Since Customer Segment is a custom dimension, it does not appear in standard reports. To see the total number of pageviews by Customer Segment, for example, you would create a Custom Report with one metric (Pageviews) and one dimension (Customer Segment).
 1. Click + New Custom Report.
 2. Change the report type to be Flat Table.
 3. Select the Customer Segment custom dimension you created above.
 4. Select Sessions or any other metric you would like to use to measure a user groups behavior.
Create a Segment
Create a segment representing the users you want to target. From the custom report perform the following steps:
 1. Click Add Segment.
 2. Click New Segment.
 3. Click Advanced Conditions.
 4. Change filter from Sessions to Users.
 5. Select the Customer Segment custom dimension you created above.
 6. Add as many conditional groups to the segment as you would like and click Save.
Create a Remarketing Audience
 2. Select the segment you created above.
 - Data imported via processing time data import is not available to a Remarketing list until the user returns to your site after the data is uploaded.
Next steps
Once you've created a Remarketing Audience, you should create a new Google Ads campaign and add your Audience to an ad group. See the Google Ads Remarketing Help Center article for details.

This thesis presents the modeling and fabrication of a new solid-state device meant to be used for digital logic circuits. Most current logic circuits are based on MOSFETs. The new logic device uses some of the same operating principles, but also relies on optical illumination to provide input power. In order to obtain the desired current-voltage behavior of the new device, the Silvaco (Atlas) device simulation was used to give some insight into the correct doping levels in the semiconductor and device geometries. Prototypes were fabricated on p-type silicon wafers using CMOS fabrication processes including oxide growth, photolithography, precise plasma or chemical wet etching, diffusion processes, and thin film evaporation. Electrical measurements were done by using an HP4156 parameter analyzer to measure several output voltage signals at one time while an illuminating the device with laser light. The current-voltage characteristics under different biasing conditions with an optical illumination condition were measured and showed characteristics similar to an nMOS transistor.

Customized Dihedral Forcefields
To enable efficient simulation of conformational changes of molecules during the deposition process, rotations around single bonds are applied in Deposit – so called dihedral moves. The change in energy connected to such a dihedral move is computed using dihedral forcefields. These forcefields then determine the flexibility of the molecules during deposition. As the molecular packing and therefore the electronic structure in thin films are highly sensitive to the flexibility of the deposited molecules, an accurate, molecule-specific description of the energy profile of the dihedral rotations is essential.
The DihedralParametrizer (DHP) therefore automatically computes dihedral forcefields for organic compounds using quantum-chemistry. The principle works as follows:
For each dihedralangle:
 1. Rotate the the side group step-wise around the single-bond
 2. For each step:
 - Keep the angle fixed and relax the rest of the molecule, to avoid clashes
 - Compute the energy for this configuration using one of our DFTEngines
 - Correct the energy by internal forcefield values later applied in Deposit
For molecules with multiple dihedralangles, this protocoll is modified to account for correlation effects in conformational changes.
Further details on the DHP method are provided at our DHP documentation page.

What is a pantoum poem example?
A good example of the pantoum is Carolyn Kizer's "Parent's Pantoum," the first three stanzas of which are excerpted here: Where did these enormous children come from, More ladylike than we have ever been? Some of ours look older than we feel.
How do you write a good pantoum?
The pantoum is a poem of four-line stanzas.
How a pantoum works
- The first line of the new stanza is a repeat of the second line in the previous stanza.
- The third line of the new stanza is a repeat of the fourth line in the previous stanza.
- The second and fourth lines of the new stanza are new lines, not seen before.
What is the rhyme scheme for a pantoum poem?
The pantoum consists of a series of quatrains rhyming abab in which the second and fourth lines of a quatrain recur as the first and third lines in the succeeding quatrain; each quatrain introduces a new second rhyme (as bcbc, cdcd).
How many lines is a pantoum?
The contemporary Western version of the pantoum is a poem made up of stanzas whose four lines repeat in a pattern: lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are repeated, whole, as lines 1 and 3 of the next stanza, and so on. The poem can be of any length.
What is repeated in a pantoum poem?
The pantoum is a form of poetry similar to a villanelle in that there are repeating lines throughout the poem. It is composed of a series of quatrains; the second and fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next stanza.
What are the characteristics of a pantoum?
A Malaysian verse form adapted by French poets and occasionally imitated in English. It comprises a series of quatrains, with the second and fourth lines of each quatrain repeated as the first and third lines of the next.
Should a pantoum rhyme?
Traditionally, pantoums consisted of two or three stanzas. Additionally, alternating lines in each stanza had to rhyme. Modern pantoums have no limit in terms of length, and many do not rhyme at all. The defining feature of the pantoum form, both traditional and modern, is the four line stanzas.
How do you write a Triolet?
Rules of the Triolet Form
The requirements of this fixed form are straightforward: the first line is repeated in the fourth and seventh lines; the second line is repeated in the final line; and only the first two end-words are used to complete the tight rhyme scheme.
What is a free verse poem?
Nonmetrical, nonrhyming lines that closely follow the natural rhythms of speech. A regular pattern of sound or rhythm may emerge in free-verse lines, but the poet does not adhere to a metrical plan in their composition.
Who invented the pantoum?
This Form Is Characterized by Interlocking Stanzas
Brought to the West by Victor Hugo in the 19th century, the pantoum, or pantun, is derived from a much older Malaysian form of a folk poem, usually made up of rhyming couplets.
How long should a pantoum be?
Why do poets use pantoum?
It creates a very clear path for how the poem moves and comes full circle as lines "a" and "c" become lines "d" and "b" respectively in the final stanza. In other words, the poem ends with the same line it started with. It comes full circle.
What is 10 line poem called?
Terza Rima A type of poetry consisting of 10 or 11 syllable lines arranged in three-line tercets.
What is a 9 line poem called?
A nonet is a nine-line poem. In the nonet form, each line contains specific, descending syllable counts. The first line contains nine syllables, the second line contains eight, the third line contains seven, and so on.
How do you begin a poem?
The opening line of a poem should grab the reader's attention, invoke the thematic intentions of the poem, and give an insight into the poet's writing style.
How do I start to write a poem?
How to write a poem
- 1 Decide what you want to write about. Unless you've been assigned to write a poem about a specific topic, the first step in writing a poem is determining a topic to write about.
- 2 Determine the best format for your topic.
- 3 Explore words, rhymes, and rhythm.
- 4 Write the poem.
- 5 Edit what you've written.
What does the word pantoum mean?
Definition of pantoum
: a series of quatrains rhyming abab in which the second rhyme of a quatrain recurs as the first in the succeeding quatrain, each quatrain introduces a new second rhyme (as bcbc, cdcd), and the initial rhyme of the series recurs as the second rhyme of the closing quatrain (xaxa)
What is a poem with repeating lines called?
The term anaphora refers to a poetic technique in which successive phrases or lines begin with the same words, often resembling a litany. The repetition can be as simple as a single word or as long as an entire phrase.
What is a 5 line poem?
A quintain (also known as a quintet) is any poetic form or stanza that contains five lines. Quintain poems can contain any line length or meter.

The Harm Reduction Home (HRH) Residential Program works to support individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and who are also impacted by alcohol dependence.
The HRH Residential Program provides access to a managed alcohol program (MAP) where individuals are supported with housing and addressing primary care and mental health needs.
Individualized care planning assists individuals to work towards personal goals and enhanced overall wellbeing through a person centred approach that meets them where they are at. While the abstinence model works for many, for some the ability to abstain from drinking is not feasible. Alcohol is administered on a daily basis by medical personnel as per a schedule determined by a physician's medical assessment and direction.
The HRH program works to reduce the harms associated with consuming non-beverage forms of alcohol such as mouthwash, hand sanitizer and more. The HRH is staffed with qualified medical and social support personnel that oversee the individuals to ensure their day-to-day and primary care needs are being met.
Harm Reduction Home Availability
- Are 19 years or older;
- Live with severe alcohol use disorder (AUD), including those who are drinking non-beverage alcohol;
- Are impacted by homelessness or are precariously housed;
- May currently be frequent users of the healthcare system.
- You/the individual will be contacted to schedule an assessment and intake to the Harm Reduction Home Residential Program.
- The Severity of Alcohol Dependency (SADQ) scale and Eligibility Criteria will be used to assist in determining appropriateness of candidates for the program. These tools will be completed by intake staff upon assessment.
