he Emberdreth are the tallest living creatures in all of Eriond. These deciduous conifers grow to heights in excess of 355ft. The base of these great trees is fluted and may grow up to 35ft in diameter. The Emberdreth possesses a narrowly conical shape, and its dark green needles contrast greatly with its brilliant copper-brown bark. The bark is soft and spongy and resistant to fire. Emberdreth grows in small groves in Landolith and Tindor Forests, and is plentiful within The Andreth Forest.
The Emberdreth is commonly known as Duskwood due to its beautiful copper brown bark which brilliantly radiates the soft light of the setting sun in its final hour. Because of its remote location, logging of this tree is extremely rare.

View Full Version : gluLookAt, glTranslates and glRotates
09-11-2000, 07:13 PM
hi everyone...
when glanced over almost of the terrain programs, i found that the developers prefer to use glRotates and glTranslates instead of gluLookAt to determine the 'camera' position.
i wonder why those two functions used, because in as far as i concerned, both funcs (gltranslates and glrotates) are for objects.
can anyone explain...?
thanks for anybody who are helping me...
rgdrs,

There are no such things as objects in OpenGL. Have you ever told OpenGL that you are drawing a certain object?
No? That's what I thought. You only draw primitives (points, line and triangles) that happens to form something our brain interpret as an object. Thats all.
There are only the whole scene, with a set of primitives forming different objects all over the place.
First you use glRotate and glTranslate to traslate all 'objects' (the whole scene), in other words, placing the viewpoint. Then you use glRotate and glTranslate to translate each 'object' to its place, and when you are done drawing, you restore the old matrix (using glPushMatrix and glPopMatrix is proper places).

What causes apples to brown?
When an apple is cut (or bruised), oxygen is introduced into the injured plant tissue.
When oxygen is present in cells, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to o-quinones, colorless precursors to brown-colored secondary products..
Which fruit oxidizes the fastest?
Plums if left on the shelf, they will start to rot in 3-5days, if placed in the fridges 3-4 days. Pears on the shelf 3– 5 days, in the fridge 3-4 days. Grapes on the shelf 1 day, in the fridge 1 week. Apples on the shelf 1-2 days, in the fridge 3 weeks.
How do you slow down enzymatic browning?
Cooks often put cut apples or potatoes in a water bath until they are ready to be cooked. The water reduces contact with oxygen and prevents enzymatic browning. Cooking fruits or vegetables inactivates (destroys) the PPO enzyme, and enzymatic browning will no longer occur. Refrigeration can slow enzymatic browning.
How can Maillard reaction be reduced?
You can control the Maillard reaction by changing the amount of reducing sugars, and the availability of amino acids. Reducing sugars include glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, and more exotic sugars like ribose.
Why is fruit Brown conclusion?
Fruit turns brown when exposed to air because a reaction is happening when a cut piece of fruit is exposed to oxygen. … The chemical reaction can be simplified to: Polyphenol Oxidase + O2 → Melanin (Brown Color) Oxygen activates the compound polyphenol oxidase in the fruit to turn the fruit brown.
What are the 4 types of reactions?
Representation of four basic chemical reactions types: synthesis, decomposition, single replacement and double replacement.
What type of reaction is the Maillard reaction?
The Maillard reaction, named after L. C. Maillard, is also known as non-enzymatic browning. It is an extremely complex process and is the reaction between reducing sugars and proteins by the impact of heat. The Maillard reaction starts with the reaction of a reducing sugar with an amine, creating glycosylamine.
What is the difference between Maillard reaction and caramelization?
The key difference between Maillard reaction and caramelization is that the Maillard reaction is non-pyrolytic whereas the caramelization is pyrolytic. The Maillard reaction and caramelization are two different non-enzymatic browning processes of food.
How does pH affect Maillard browning?
In general, maximum browning occurs at aw between 0.60 and 0.85 and the browning rate increases with increasing pH, up to a pH of around 10 (Morales et al., 1997; Gerrard, 2002). Maillard reaction is one of the most important reactions which result from food processing.
What is the Maillard reaction in baking?
The Maillard reaction, also known as carbonyl-amine reaction, is a non-enzymatic browning (NEB) reaction that produces desirable colors and flavors in baked products and other thermally-processed foods.
What causes fruit to brown?
"Discoloration of fruit results when an enzyme called polyphenoloxidase oxidizes the phenolic compounds that are found in the tissue of fruits. The oxidation causes the phenolic compounds to condense into brown spots.
Why is browning reaction important in food?
The reaction between a reducing sugar and an amino group and their subsequent interactions is known as the Maillard reaction. … It is also responsible for the formation of carcinogens and could also reduce the nutritionnal value of foods by decreasing the concentration of essential amino-acids.
Why does the Maillard reaction happen?
In making silage, excess heat causes the Maillard reaction to occur, which reduces the amount of energy and protein available to the animals that feed on it.
Is browning food bad for you?
Browned toast and potatoes are 'potential cancer risk', say food scientists. Bread, chips and potatoes should be cooked to a golden yellow colour, rather than brown, to reduce our intake of a chemical which could cause cancer, government food scientists are warning.
What factors influence the degree of Maillard browning?
The course of Maillard reaction is strongly affected by factors which influence the different chemical reactions involved. These include temperature, time, water activity, reactant source, and concentration (5), the type and ratio of reducing sugar (6,7), amino acids (7,8), pH (9), and food composition (10,11).
Is caramelization a chemical reaction?
Caramelization is what happens when any sugar is heated to the point that the molecules undergo chemical reactions with oxygen in the air and with each other – the molecules either break apart into smaller molecules, or combine with one another to make larger molecules.
Is the Maillard reaction unhealthy?
Byproducts from the chemical reactions that take place when dry dog food (brown biscuits/kibble) is baked or extruded can pose carcinogenic risks to dogs. The Maillard Reaction is known to create a carcinogen called Acrylamide.
How does temperature affect Maillard reaction?
High-temperature cooking speeds up the Maillard reaction because heat both increases the rate of chemical reactions and accelerates the evaporation of water. As the food dries, the concentration of reactant compounds increases and the temperature climbs more rapidly.

Universal Services: Financial Assistance for Tribal Lands
Congress, the States, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have expressed the importance of promoting universal service, i.e., ensuring that all households that want access to the telecommunications network are able to afford it. The Lifeline and Link Up programs, which directly benefit eligible low-income consumers, provide financial assistance to low-income telephone subscribers and ensure that low-income Americans can afford telephone service.
Enhanced benefits are provided to low-income consumers who live on a federally recognized Indian Tribe's reservation, pueblo, or colony; on a former reservation in Oklahoma; within an Indian allotment; or within an Alaska Native region established by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.

The Funeral Service Foundation has just released the results of its "Bleeding Edge" research project with world renowned Olson-Zaltman Associates simultaneously revealing both disturbing and encouraging insights.
Recognizing that the growth of cremation has more than doubled (leaping from 1% to more than 2% annually in the last several years) The Funeral Service Foundation commissioned the unconventional market research using the patented ZMET process to study:
THE MARKET WE ARE LOSING.
The ZMET process is an unconventional approach to market research focused on uncovering the unconscious metaphors consumers use to relate with and make choices about a given service or product. Olson Zaltman developed the process while its founders were still professors at Harvard and Penn State in the 1990's. It has since been embraced by a veritable "who's-who" of Global companies, universities, non-profits and governments.
The results didn't so much tell us anything new as they revealed how we are unintentionally reinforcing negative stereotypes which may be causing the market to seek out alternatives.
The Foundation will be rolling out the results of this research at the upcoming NFDA Convention TUESDAY OCTOBER 9 AT 7:30 AM. (SEE NOTE BELOW) in a program entitled:
Breaking the Consumer Code: New Insights Into Ways Consumers Really Think About Funerals
The program will cover the findings and attempt to identify the far-reaching implications for us and how the profession needs to begin the process of transformation over the next 5 or more years to remain relevant in this NEW NORMAL.
Attendees will learn:
- Why 99% of funeral home facilites reinforce consumer attitudes toward death and what you can do to transform
- Why conventional funeral home advertising not only reinforces negative stereotypes but may be driving consumers to look for alternatives
- How consumers are projecting their feelings about death onto practitioners and how we need to reposition ourselves to change that perception
- What is most important to "Baby Boomers" and how they want to be integrated into the planning process for their parents and themselves
- How our profession is experiencing its own grief cycle as it grapples with the transformation of its livelihood
- The NEXT STEPS FAMIC and The Foundation are taking to make resources available to practitioners to facilitate their adaptation

全孝晶 JEON HYO JEONG
地下广场 SUNKEN PLAZA
访客中心 VISITOR CENTER
展览空间 EXHIBITION SPACE
Underground space of New Gwanghwamun Plaza is transformed into a new inter-connected spine and an experiential sanctuary
that pays tribute to everything related to the historicity of Joseon Dynasty. The new underground spine serves as a themed historic walk towards Gwanghwamun, activating public space at the central axis. Along the route, we have designed a series of feature spaces - Naval Hall of Yi Sun-Sin, Palace Plaza of Sejong the Great, and Yookcho Passage; each with its own identity and functions, to enrich the experiential sequence along the walk. Skylights and ground openings allow natural sunlight and direct view vistas to the statues, and also facilitating way-finding at below-ground level.
Naval Hall of Yi Sun-Sin:
Pays tribute to the famous war general from below. The sunken plaza reminiscent of his famous turtle-ship translates his former glory into a new representation of space. Waterfall cascasding down from both sides of the columns creates loud and turbulent sounds of water, symbolizing the turbulent history associated with the General, Imjing War and the historic battles.
Palace Plaza of Sejong the Great:
Palace Plaza of Sejong the Great is an underground interchange plaza that connects both north-south and east-west movements. Skylight opening allows magnificent view towards Sejong the Great Statue from below, and beneath it is an otherworldly palace that combines a Winter Garden, Sejong Exhibition Hall, and Tourist Information Center.
Visitor Information Hub:
Visitor Information Hub is a newly proposed facility situated between Gwanghwamun Axis and City Axis. The dome-shaped space is a symbolic disposition of harmony for bringing together the existentiality of the Co-Axial City. It has direct access to ground-level plaza via spiraling steps. The circular seating areas next to the Hub provide visitors places to gather and rest when arriving here.
The underground passage along the central spine is transformed into a multi-functional corridor combining circulation and themed exhibition spaces. Along Yookcho Passage, permanent and temporary exhibitions can take place. Linear skylights above the passage will allow afternoon sun to cast into the circulation areas.
Steps of Ascension:
Steps of Ascension brings visitors up to History Plaza in front of the restored Woldae and Haechi Statues from below-ground, surrounded by a gentle reflection pool and quiet water cascades. Steps of Ascension, the sunken steps, acts as a transitional space between the past, the present and the future. The framed view of Gwanghwamun when stepping up into the plaza is the best testimonial statement of its status and importance to the city.


text: Polycrystalline layers of Si0.7Ge0.3 were deposited using low pressure chemical vapor deposition to a thickness of 500 nm on a n-type silicon wafer covered by SiO2. The Si0.7Ge0.3 layers were doped with different concentrations of boron by ion implantation. The morphology and electrical properties have been characterized using atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Hall effect. Conductance fluctuations were measured at room temperature. Decreasing boundary scattering at higher free carrier density results in increased mobility. However, surprisingly enough, we found that the 1/f noise parameter α decreases with increasing mobility, which does not agree with the parameter α measured in crystalline semiconductor material grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The interpretation is that the noise is mainly generated in the depletion region of the grains, but the Hall mobility is reduced by the scattering at grain-boundaries. In this paper we present a detailed analysis to distinguish between 1/f noise from grain-boundaries, depletion region and neutral region of the grains. The 1/f noise in polycrystalline SiGe can well be analyzed in terms of mobility fluctuations in lattice scattering.

Black patients with type 2 diabetes experience more heart attacks, strokes, and end-stage kidney disease, compared with whites. Yet, blacks appear to have considerably lower rates of clinical coronary artery disease, compared with whites, according to study reported in Diabetologia (December 2005). The study involved >1100 patients with type 2 diabetes participating in a diabetes heart study.
For the study, the researchers investigated whether there were ethnic differences in the amount of calcified plaque found in the coronary and carotid arteries. The researchers determined that calcified plaque in the arteries was significantly lower in blacks than whites. The black participants, however, had a more negative risk factor profile and dramatically thicker walls of the carotid artery.

. Although peak current and power/ground noises are
 minimized by signal polarities assignment, an
 assignment without timing information may increase the
 clock skew significantly. As a result, a timing-aware
 signal polarities assigning technique is necessary. In
 this article, we propose a novel signal polarities
 assigning technique which can not only reduce peak
 current and power/ground noises simultaneously but also
 render the clock skew in control. The experimental
 result shows that the clock skew produced by our
 algorithm is 94\% of original clock skew in average
 while the clock skews produced by three algorithms
 (Partition, MST, Matching) in the absence of post clock
 tuning steps in the previous work are 235\%, 272\%, and
 283\%, respectively. Moreover, our algorithm is as
 efficient as the three algorithms of the previous work
 in reducing peak current and power/ground noises.",

 2.0 has better routability with comparable wirelength
 than other routers on ISPD07 benchmark, and it can
 complete (no overflow) the widely used ISPD98 benchmark
 for the first time in the literature with the shortest

The building sector has gained significant attention due to its remarkably high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In China's rural areas, stone is a popular building material, but there are unprecedented demands to improve the life-cycle performance of stone buildings. It is essential to preserve the original architectural features while evolving towards a cleaner production and operation. This study implements a field survey in the Taihang Mountains of Hebei province. The improvement of stone extraction methods and the evolution of three stone wall styles are collected and developed. Thermal transmittances of three stone walls are measured and modeled. A cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment is conducted, and the results are compared to show their environmental performance in the embodiment and operation phases. Their life cycle inventories, including stone extraction, are developed. One representative building style sample is developed for the cooling and heating energy requirement simulation in the DesignBuilder. Based on the inventories, conducting life cycle impact assessment shows various environmental profiles in their whole life cycles. From the outcomes, the stone cladding wall (SCW) outperforms the other stone walls in both the embodiment and operation phases. However, its relatively high cost is a challenge for an individual house owner. This study proves the SCW is more sustainable, providing a basis for the choice of stone wall style in the future construction.

The Meaning of a Spider Sighting
Meaning of a Spider Sighting | California Psychics
Regeneration and Patience
When you think of a spider, do you think of darkness, unpredictability, entrapment, fangs, and venom? Or do you think of creativity, balance, regeneration, patience, and courage? The relationship you share with this creature of both light and dark, may determine how its presence plays out in your life.
If you combine the many different cultural beliefs of the spider, there is a suggested connection to its web and the creation of the world. Native Americans see the spider as perched in the center of its web with everything emanating from its centric position. This position also enables the spider to draw things back into itself, thereby becoming both the creator and the destroyer. When you see a spider's web it is a reminder that you are always weaving the outcome of your own future. It is reminding you to balance each strand that will soon become your past, because a web (future) is only as strong (balanced) as the previous weaves before it.
There is a creative energy inside of you, whether it's expressed in the creative arts, or in other ways, it exists. A spider sighting, particularly in a dream, may be a hint to engage those creative juices to weave something new and beautiful into your life. This could refer to your career, your relationships, or in your home life. Spiders are also quick to recognize when it is time to move locations because their web keeps getting knocked down by a gate or the wind. And if your own creative ideas are in a state of constant tear down, it may be time to move to the other side of the garden the next time you rebuild.
A spider's web is an intricate piece of construction, patiently built by the spider. When you see a spider's web, remember that you are in charge of your own life as a spider is the weaver of it's web. It's a reminder to be careful about the choices that you make. Spider webs also symbolize the ability to positively affect your life through your thoughts and actions.
It may take many nights before a spider will receive any benefit from building a web. If you have put a lot into a project, task, relationship, or a dream, a spider may be reminding you to look back over what you've built and see if there are some threads you've yet to connect. It could also be a reminder to pay closer attention to opportunities you are missing.
The spider has anywhere from two to eight eyes at its disposal, each offering a slightly different viewpoint on the world. A sighting could be a reminder to look at a particularly troublesome situation from a variety of vantage points, including the ones from the people around you.
Consider if the fear of where a decision could take you may be the true source of any darkness you're experiencing. If this is the case, keep in mind that young spiders cast a strand of silk for the wind to carry them to new areas – sometimes they fly only a few feet, other times they can cross entire oceans. The only way to control the distance is to never throw out the entire strand, but that is no different than choosing to remain within the shadow of your true potential.
Infinite Possibilities
Spiders have both eight legs and eight eyes, and the number eight is associated with the concept of infinity. Now, picture yourself in the center of a spider's web, with each strand as a path that you can take in your life. You are standing in the center of infinite possibilities, which can be both frightening and exhilarating. Place your faith (not your fear) within the spider to give you the courage to face the changes that must come as you begin your next journey down one of these paths, for a spider sighting is also a symbol of luck and a sign for change. So, when you see a spider, know that a change, or a time when you'll have to make a decision is coming.
The Spider in a Dream
A spider in a dream can mean several different things, and it's very important to analyze how you are feeling when dealing with the spider at the time. If you are frightened it could mean that you fear you're not living up to your highest potential. If you want to kill the spider in you dream, it means that you need to release some tension in your life.
Not all spider dreams are negative though. If you dream of a spider building a web, it means that you are likely to build something in your life that will lead to your happiness. Spiders are also considered lucky, so if you don't experience any feelings of fear or anxiety during the dream, it could be a good omen.
Don't Panic!
It's not uncommon to be frightened when a spider appears, but don't immediately swat it away. Take a moment to contemplate what the spider may be trying to tell you about your day or a situation you're grappling with. They may have fresh insight for you.

Cultural appropriation is a persistent topic with regards to cultural and Indigenous studies in Canada. This paper holds that the cultural appropriation of the Indigenous sweat lodge ritual limits Indigenous community control resulting in benefits for individuals and organizations actively appropriating the ceremony. This article highlights the negative implications of appropriating the sweat lodge tradition through a tragic 2009 incident led by self-help guru James Ray. It is argued that intercultural understanding—though limited—must be fostered to ensure the future safety of sweat lodge participants in both Canada and the United States.

For the Christians in some parts of the North, they may be having the forthcoming Christmas and New Year celebrations indoors, in view of the persistent security challenges facing in the region. The police have, however, banned the use of knock-outs during the celebrations to avoid breakdown of law and order during the Yuletide.
According to the Tribune, a source who preferred anonymity has revealed that Christian leaders in states, like Kano, Bauchi, Plateau, Yobe, Borno and others, had advised their fellow brothers and sisters to celebrate indoors, so as to prevent unscrupulous people from using the festive period to foment trouble.
It has also been hinted by the source that people, who had formed the habit of celebrating at drinking joints and relaxation centers, should be wary of the happenings in the region; he also urged them to be moderate while celebrating.
"Nobody can say what is going to happen precisely, but recent happenings and our past experiences have taught us that Islamic fundamentalists, otherwise known as Boko Haram, may attack Christians during the festive period… This is why we are urging our brothers and sisters not to allow the Christmas and New Year celebrations to carry them away. While celebrating, it is important they watch their backs, and be careful about what they do during the period," the source noted.


Mini Eggs
Mini eggs are about quarter of the size of a normal egg. They usually don't have a yolk inside, just the 'white' or albumen as it is technically called.
Mini Egg in an egg boxA mini egg is caused when a small foreign object enters the oviduct and triggers the normal formation of an egg, so just the same as a yolk, it gets wrapped in albumen and then popped inside an egg shell.
Normally only one mini egg is laid and then normal laying continues and it is nothing to worry about.

text: Background: The production of triterpenes from plants for pharmacological purposes varies in concentration, due to genetic and environmental factors. In vitro culture enables the control and increase of these bioactive molecules. Objective: To evaluate the effect of plant growth regulators and elicitors in the induction of calli and the production of ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA) in Lepechinia caulescens. Materials and Methods: Leaf explants were exposed for the induction of calli at different concentrations and combinations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Methyl jasmonate (MJ) and salicylic acid were used as elicitors. High-performance liquid chromatography method was used to quantify UA and OA content in each treatment. Results: Treatment with 3.0 mg/L of 2,4-D and 0.1 mg/L of BAP produced the best results for calli induction and production of UA (1.57 mg/g dry weight [DW]) and OA (1.13 mg/g DW). Both elicitors facilitated the accumulation of triterpenes. Conclusion: The combination of auxins and cytokinins showed favorable results for the induction of calli. Variation concerning the accumulation of UA and OA was observed between treatments. MJ increased the production of triterpenes five times after 8 h of exposure, compared to control treatment. There is a greater accumulation of UA (16.58 mg/g DW) and OA (1.94 mg/g DW) in leaves of wild plants.

Up: tsort invocation
tsort exists because very early versions of the Unix linker processed an archive file exactly once, and in order. As ld read each object in the archive, it decided whether it was needed in the program based on whether it defined any symbols which were undefined at that point in the link.
This meant that dependencies within the archive had to be handled
specially. For example,
scanf probably calls
read. That means
that in a single pass through an archive, it was important for
to appear before read.o, because otherwise a program which calls
scanf but not
read might end up with an unexpected unresolved
The way to address this problem was to first generate a set of dependencies of one object file on another. This was done by a shell script called lorder. The GNU tools don't provide a version of lorder, as far as I know, but you can still find it in BSD distributions.
Then you ran tsort over the lorder output, and you used the resulting sort to define the order in which you added objects to the archive.
This whole procedure has been obsolete since about 1980, because Unix archives now contain a symbol table (traditionally built by ranlib, now generally built by ar itself), and the Unix linker uses the symbol table to effectively make multiple passes over an archive file.
Anyhow, that's where tsort came from. To solve an old problem with the way the linker handled archive files, which has since been solved in different ways.

How Are REIT Dividends Treated for Tax Purposes?
Dividends from Non-Traded REITs can be allocated as ordinary income, capital gains, or return of capital. A return of capital distribution is defined as that part of the dividend that exceeds the REIT's taxable income. A return of capital distribution is not taxed as ordinary income. Rather, the investor's cost basis in the stock is reduced by the amount of the distribution. When shares are sold, the excess of the net sales price over the reduced tax basis is treated as a capital gain for tax purposes. So long as the appropriate capital gains rate is less than the investor's marginal ordinary income tax rate, a high return of capital distribution may be attractive. (Source _URL_)


until a switch back to the first tree is necessary. The alternative is the coroutine or cofunction of the current traversal function.

A continuation simulates a coroutine. Its element parameter is a parameter of the resumption. The Cont parameter is the other coroutine, itself to be resumed at a later date. When the alternative is resumed [*] it is given a switch parameter and the "current" coroutine. Note that travright is not a continuation but
 travright t c :Cont, if t:Tree of element, c:Cont
If one of the trees is empty, traverse the other tree. Otherwise'm' finds the least element of tree1 (and later tree2) while building a continuation to traverse tree1. When the continuation for each tree is built, the appropriate one is started and the two of them swap control as necessary.
Pascal and Algol.
The treemerge function cannot be programmed in Pascal because this language does not allow recursive function types such as 'Cont'. However it can be programmed in Algol-68 which does allow such types.
McVitie and Wilson give an Algol-60 program for the stable marriage problem [McVi71, algorithm 2 and sec3.2]. It uses recursive procedure calls in a way that mimics continuations. Coincidentally, it appeared at about the same time as Mazurkiewicz's paper [Mazu71]. The stable marriage problem has a natural solution by coroutines [Alli83].
The use of continuations allow a function to govern the flow of control into and out of what would normally be considered a subsequent computation. This allows unusual control regimes such as non-determinism and coroutines to be simulated in functional programming. In particular, non-deterministic grammars can be parsed by simple recursive descent plus continuations and functions can be made to cooperate as coroutines.

Abstract
The campus-wide electricity use in University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) is highly correlated with the outdoor 2-meter surface air temperature, at hourly, daily, and monthly scales, with the correlation coefficients normally > 0.70 in 2014 and 2015. Nevertheless, 2-meter surface air temperature has evident spatial heterogeneity, determined by underlying surface types and surrounding vegetation fraction, with up-to 6 °F difference between a roof on campus and a vegetation-covered airport for the clear days on Julys 2014 and 2015. Such urban heat island effect (UHI) signal suggests that urban local surface air temperatures, instead of those in an nearby airport, may be needed in order to accurately forecast the electricity use for a given urban community. In addition to outdoor weather conditions, campus electricity use amount is also affected by other factors such as human behavioral pattern, for example, weekdays vs weekends. Therefore, interdisciplinary effort from weather system, society, and mechanical engineering is needed to fully understand and thus forecast electricity use.

CreateDialog
CreateDialog[expr]
creates a dialog notebook containing expr and opens it in the front end.
CreateDialog[expr,obj]
replaces the notebook represented by the notebook object obj with the one obtained from expr.
Details and Options
 - CreateDialog by default creates a notebook with options set so as to be suitable for the appearance and behavior of a typical dialog box. The option settings include Deployed->True, ShowCellBracket->False, WindowFloating->False and WindowSize->All.
 - Dialog notebooks created by CreateDialog are by default opened in the middle of the main display screen. Explicit settings for WindowMargins override this.
 - CreateDialog[expr] by default puts expr into a single output cell.
 - If expr is a complete notebook expression, CreateDialog[expr] creates an open notebook corresponding to this expression.
 - If expr is a cell or list of cells, CreateDialog[expr] creates a notebook consisting of this cell or cells.
 - CreateDialog can take any notebook option.
 - If no explicit setting is given for WindowTitle, no name will be displayed for a dialog.
 - The additional option Modal specifies whether the dialog created by CreateDialog should be modal.
 - With the default setting Modal->False, other windows can be used even when the dialog is open. With Modal->True, no other Wolfram System windows can be used until the dialog has been closed. If there is no mechanism for closing the dialog, the Wolfram System will effectively freeze.
 - If DialogReturn is executed, for example as a result of clicking a button, within the window created by CreateDialog, then the window will be closed.
 - In dialogs created with CreateDialog, pressing TemplateBox[{return}, Key0, BaseStyle -> {Notes, FontWeight -> Plain, FontFamily -> Source Sans Pro}] is effectively equivalent to clicking the DefaultButton, and to clicking the CancelButton.
 - If the dialog contains no DefaultButton or CancelButton, pressing TemplateBox[{return}, Key0, BaseStyle -> {Notes, FontWeight -> Plain, FontFamily -> Source Sans Pro}] or will close the dialog without taking any other action.
 - CreateDialog returns a NotebookObject corresponding to the notebook it creates.
 - CreateDialog[expr,obj] overwrites whatever data was contained in the notebook represented by the notebook object obj.

Fluoride Action Network
Sixty-four forty-day old male Wistar rats were divided randomly into two groups of thirty-two each. With one group untreated as controls, the other group was administered 150 mg NaF/L (68 ppm F–) in their drinking water to assess the effects of high fluoride on sperm quality and testicular histology at different developmental stages. In contrast to the control group, the F-treated rats exhibited a decline in sperm viability and a significant increase of sperm abnormalities 50, 80, 100, and 120 days after administration of sodium fluoride. Sperm density declined markedly at day 80 and day 120. The number of seminiferous epithelium cell layers (NSECL), the thickness of the seminiferous tubule (TST), and the diameter of the seminiferous tubule (DST) in the testis all decreased at day 50, 100, and 120. In short, the semen quality was impaired by fluoride in the drinking water, and the histological changes in the seminiferous epithelium of testicular tissues may be responsible for the diminished sperm quality in male rats.

Scared Now?
Trick or Treat
Prior to video games existed the idea of horror. Like film and literature before it, games have tried to emulate the same panic and fear-inducing concepts of its brethren. It's safe to say that for the most part that they have failed. Games have essentially devolved from creating tension and real suspense in favor of grotesque abominations and cheap thrills.
I may be merely generalizing, but there hasn't truly been a genuine horror experience in video games. There have been bits and pieces of a more grandiose idea but nothing beyond that. Here are five suggestions I have for developers to create realistic horror in video games.
5. Good Controls
So let me get this straight — I'm a government agent trained in all manners of fighting techniques, except I am limited to the movements of a Lego brick. How cool is that? Back in old school Resident Evil this concept was used to usher in the feeling of tension through limited movement. Today this is known as poor control mechanics. Giving players free control of their character means focusing less on the "tension" of controlling like garbage and more on creating real horror. Go figure.
4. Inferential Fear
Fear is something that occurs organically in our minds. As such, every aspect of your experience should be just that, organic. I don't need grotesque imagery or nightmarish halls of the infernal to scare me. All it takes is for you to simply walk up and steal the small sense of security I have. Show the player how real the fear in your world is to the fear that exists in real life. All children are afraid of the dark, as unorthodox or as illogical as that may seem. Yet since we were little, we knew we were never alone in the darkness.
3. Death
The idea of failure in games is what makes games less emotionally thrilling. By nature, games are designed in a way that warrants multiple playthroughs. That doesn't mean demeaning the overall experience however. It has become paramount to arm the player with godlike powers, thus dispelling the instantaneous illusion of fear. The player must be shown immediately what death and failure means, and in an overall sense the negative aspect that death represents. That is to say, you should not be cheap or overall weak in your game design. Rather, invest your time to make your player helpless against the idea of fear.
2. Not Seeing is Believing
Too often in horror, we are treated to the true face of evil. The Antagonist that represents all our nightmares and horrifying experiences. The effect is two-fold; while you immediately display terror and a mix of emotions, you show the player what to expect. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's just used with too much liberty in video games. How many times do I have to kill the annoying enemy that scared me from the first hour? By the end of the game, I'm just annoyed and frustrated at the monster, rather than feel tense and frightened. Use a little more tact and show players that the idea that the monster you created is a lot more terrifying than the actual creature.
1. Be Scary
How's that for being redundant? When all else fails at the end, just remember that being a sadistic turdball works too. Give the player connections, ties through character development and interaction. Then show the player what you do best — being scary. Prey on them. Show them the deep psychological aspects of the human mind. Shatter their expectations of what is real and not real. So deeply ingrained to the point where they fear the myopic details of their lives. Show them why people are afraid of the dark.
These suggestions are far from complete, or for that matter well reasoned. However, I still have hope for a truly scary video game to come along. Hopefully Alan Wake fills that niche. Yes that was a shameless plug; hooray for being professional.

 Personally, I find it hard by all forms of media to be scared. I think what makes me like older horror games (Resident Evil etc.) is the fact the the atmosphere is truly dark. As you said, restrictions in movement were what made those particular games thrilling, but I loved the puzzle elements along with the scarcity of ammo. I miss survival horror games that actually forced you to be resourcful, giving an aspect of well.. survival. Opposed to the action shoot em up that Resident Evil is today.
 If they brought back the bad controls just to bring back the dark atmosphere of RE, it would be a fair trade to me. The camera angles made it a cinematic experience for me, not knowing what lurks around the corner.
 Freedom of control make things less scary, for me at least :)

L'objectif est d'examiner si les ressources professionnelles modèrent la relation entre les exigences du travail et la pression professionnelle, et si la pression professionnelle modère la relation entre les exigences du travail et la satisfaction au travail. Le modèle Demande d'emploi – Ressources suggère que les demandes d'emploi et les ressources professionnelles sont liées à la pression professionnelle, et que la pression professionnelle est associée à la satisfaction professionnelle.
Aims To examine whether job resources moderate the relationship between job demands and occupational strain, and whether occupational strain mediates the relationship between job demands and job satisfaction. Background The Job Demands-Resource Model suggests that job demands and job resources are related to occupational strain, and occupational strain is associated with job satisfaction. Methods In 2018, a cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 85 nurses from six hemodialysis units. Linear regression with Moderation-Mediation analysis was conducted using SPSS software. Results Under low workload levels, no association between autonomy and occupational strain existed; but under high workload levels, a negative relationship was found between autonomy and occupational strain. Under low workload levels, a negative relationship was found between social support and occupational strain, but under high workload levels, a positive relationship was found. Finally, there was no association between occupational strain and job satisfaction. Conclusion Job resources are moderators of the relationship between job demands and occupational strain. However, there was no significant association between occupational strain and job satisfaction. Implications Nurse leaders should strengthen nurses' autonomy, which can reduce occupational strain. Additionally, sources of support are needed help nurses cope with the workload and occupational strain.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract A new spectrophotometric method for resolving binary mixtures is proposed. The method is based on use of the first derivative of the ratios of spectra. The absorption spectrum of the mixture is obtained and the amplitudes at appropriate wavelengths are divided by the corresponding amplitudes in the absorption spectrum of a standard solution of one of the components, and the first derivative of the ratio spectrum is obtained. The concentration of the other component is then determined from a calibration graph. The method has been applied for resolving binary mixtures of salicylic and salicyluric acids. Calibration graphs for 2.6-52 ppm salicylic acid and for 2.1-42 ppm salicyluric acid were established by measuring the analytical signals at the maximum at 241.5 nm (for salicylic acid) and from the peak at 258 nm to the trough at 247 nm (for salicyluric acid) in the first derivative ratio spectra.

Died This Day: Edward Drinker Cope
July 28, 1840 – April 12, 1897
"What truly assured Cope's (above right) place in the history of paleontology and even eclipsed his science was his bitter feud with Yale University paleontologist O.C. Marsh (above left). What began as a friendly rivalry in the late 1860s, broke out into all out war in 1872 and then raged on until Cope's death in 1897. Both Cope and Marsh were recipients of family fortunes and they used their wealth to discover new fossils and to reconstruct ancient life. This scramble literally propelled American science into the forefront of paleontology."Read about Cope HERE.

🇧🇷 Switzerland is still the most innovative country
The World Intellectual Property Organization ranks Switzerland first, mainly thanks to its patents and high technology.
Switzerland remains the most innovative country in the world and is ahead of the United States, which overtakes Sweden. China is closing in on the top ten. Tensions affect innovation, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) said on Thursday in Geneva.
Switzerland occupies, for the twelfth consecutive year, the first place in the world index of this institution, which gathers dozens of indicators in more than 130 countries. He addresses topics such as patent families, high technology and the complexity of production and export.
According to a WIPO official, the combination of "strong" research, the ability to finance innovation and applications quickly by the private sector in economic markets explains this situation. "SMEs must be more innovative" in Switzerland, given the scarcity of raw materials and a small internal market, the Federal Institute of Intellectual Property told Keystone-ATS, explaining this new success.
Swiss research has long spawned start-ups, he says. For a country like Switzerland, intellectual property is "very important", he points out.
In addition to the top three, Great Britain regains fourth place, ahead of the Netherlands. In the next five to 10 years, the composition of the 20 most innovative countries "should be more diverse," WIPO Director-General Daren Tang told reporters. The situation must reflect changes in patent applications, he insisted.
Despite the pandemic, investments in innovation around the world continued to grow last year. But there are difficulties in obtaining concrete effects, in particular due to the insufficiently rapid diffusion of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI). The organization wants a wave of innovation in these issues or in biotechnologies.
For this year, the situation is "clouded" by global uncertainties and "persistent underperformance in innovation-driven productivity", Tang said. He calls innovation that is followed by an impact on the economy, especially for small businesses and developing countries.
In the same way, "an environment with political tensions affects innovation", the CEO also believes. However, it can accelerate, adds the organization. The energy and food crisis may lead to an increased need for some countries to facilitate innovation to ensure their food security.
Investments in renewable energy and technologies to combat climate change can expand. In total, those of top innovative companies increased by 10% in 2021, reaching over $900 billion, more than before the pandemic. This improvement is particularly linked to new technologies, pharmaceutical and biotechnological.
Venture capital schemes increased by 46% and Latin America is the region where they are making the most progress. But we should expect more difficulties in this situation this year, also says the PMOI. In total, the numbers for the second quarter show a drop of 25 to 35% compared to the same period last year. The situation should get even worse by the end of the year, adds the organization.

Quick Answer: What Is The Relationship Between Stroke Volume And Cardiac Output?
How do you calculate stroke volume and cardiac output?
EquationSV = Stroke Volume (mL/beat)CO = Cardiac Output (mL/min)HR = Heart Rate (bpm)*The CO input is in mL/min (or L/min multiplied by 1000 to adjust units to mL/min).
**SV is the amount of blood pumped by the heart with each beat; Also: SV= EDV – ESV.B= blood.
S= serum.
P= plasma.
U= urine..
How does the heart Change stroke volume?
What is the relationship between cardiac output heart rate and stroke volume?
The volume of blood ejected by the left ventricle during a heartbeat is the stroke volume (SV). The volume of blood ejected by the left ventricle in each minute is the cardiac output (CO), which is equal to the heart rate (HR) multiplied by the stroke volume and therefore is measured in liters per minute.
What's a normal stroke volume?
Stroke volume is the difference between end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes; it is the volume ejected with each heart beat. The normal range is 50 to 100 ml. In the ICU, stroke volume is usually measured by a pulmonary artery catheter and is reported as cardiac output.
What happens when stroke volume increases?
Pulse pressure, in contrast, markedly increases because of an increase in both stroke volume and the speed at which the stroke volume is ejected. The cardiac output increase is due to a large increase in heart rate and a small increase in stroke volume.
What are the four factors that determine stroke volume?
Cardiac Reserve and Stroke Volume It is determined by the interplay of four factors: Ventricular distending or filling pressure (preload) Contractility of the myocardium (inotropic state) The tension that the ventricular myocardium must develop during contraction and early ejection (afterload)
Does stroke volume increase or decrease with training?
Before and after training, stroke volume decreased as exercise intensity was increased from 50% to 100% of Vo2max in both sexes. However, the decrease in stroke volume was greater in women than in men. Current evidence suggests that the stroke volume response to exercise may differ between men and women.
What is normal end diastolic volume?
For an average-sized man, the end-diastolic volume is 120 milliliters of blood and the end-systolic volume is 50 milliliters of blood. This means the average stroke volume for a healthy male is usually about 70 milliliters of blood per beat. Total blood volume also affects this number.
What is the relationship between stroke volume and blood pressure?
Is ejection fraction the same as cardiac output?
Ventricular Function Less filling of the ventricle during diastole results in a smaller stroke volume, and therefore less cardiac output is produced at a given heart rate, even though the ejection fraction may be within normal range.
What are the factors that affect stroke volume?
Stroke volume index is determined by three factors: Preload: The filling pressure of the heart at the end of diastole. Contractility: The inherent vigor of contraction of the heart muscles during systole. Afterload: The pressure against which the heart must work to eject blood during systole.
What is a normal cardiac ejection fraction?
What is stroke volume of the heart?
The definition of stroke volume is the volume of blood pumped out of the left ventricle of the heart during each systolic cardiac contraction.
What units is stroke volume measured in?
Stroke Volume Index (SVI) relates SV to body surface area (BSA), thus relating heart performance to the size of the individual. The unit of measurement is millilitres per square metre (ml/m2). Normal values for a resting healthy individual would be approximately 35-65mL/m2.
How long does it take to increase blood volume?
The main avenue to increasing blood volume is training consistently. In untrained individuals, within just 24 hours of training, it can increase by around 10 percent due to plasma volume expansion. After two to three weeks, many studies measure red blood cell increases, increasing progressively thereafter.
What is normal ejection fraction by age?
How do you fix low ejection fraction?
How Can I Improve My Low Ejection Fraction?Talk with your healthcare provider about improving your EF. … Treat any known causes of heart failure. … Get the right amount of physical activity. … Pay attention to your weight. … Know your sodium limits and regulate fluids. … Eliminate harmful substances. … Lower your stress.
What is the difference between ejection fraction and stroke volume?
So another helpful measurement is the ejection fraction, which is the stroke volume divided by the end-diastolic volume, Ejection fraction = Stroke Volume / EndDiastolic Volume. In a normal individual that's 70/120, or about 58%, but it can fluctuate between 50 and 65% and still be considered normal.
Why do we measure cardiac output?
Thus, at least in some patients, measurement of cardiac output is indicated as an aid to prognosis and diagnosis, and to monitor the adequacy of therapy. If it is useful to measure cardiac output, then it is also important that its measurement be accurate enough to identify clinically relevant changes.
How does exercise increase stroke volume?

Starred Review:
Descendant of the Crane
Joan He's Descendant of the Crane is a riveting, complex story set in a Chinese-inspired fantasy world full of magic, intrigue, and mystery.
Hesina's first task as the new queen of Yan is to discover who poisoned her father. She starts by seeking out a sooth to provide guidance—an act of treason, as all sooths were outlawed when the Eleven, a group of rebel heroes, overthrew the last emperor three centuries ago.
With Akira, a brilliant thief whose help she enlists, Hesina discovers dangerous truths and finds herself embroiled in the politics of a corrupt court. She is forced to choose between the law, the truth about her father's death, and the welfare of her people.
The characters are complex and alive. Hesina does not believe she is a good ruler, but she sacrifices her own happiness to do the right thing. Akira has a violent, tragic past to overcome; he, too, always seeks to do what is right. Hesina's siblings, including her biological brother, twins her father brought to the palace as young children, and a half-sibling her father had with his concubine, have intimate and often difficult relationships, each pursuing their own agendas while supporting, and sometimes undermining, each other's efforts.
The world building is impressive, too. Yan's history is key to the story, and it is seamlessly incorporated via fables, laws, customs, and beliefs, with elements like descriptions of food and clothing adding texture. The Book of Tenets, which was created by the Eleven to guide the people of Yan, is the central element around which the entire world and its inhabitants are built.
Descendant of the Crane is a compelling, immersive book. Young adults will find a story and a world that is a joy to explore in this highly original mystery.

Mount Union Students Face Their Fears
October 18, 2012
ALLIANCE, Ohio — For the third year in a row, University of Mount Union students enrolled in assistant professor of psychology Dr. Kevin Meyers' abnormal psychology course had the opportunity to overcome a specific phobia at Cedar Point Amusement Park.
Students learned to overcome their phobias through a process known as "exposure therapy." This year's 'Face your Fears' project was held at Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. Students explored and overcame the "roller coaster phobia" which falls into the category of anxiety disorders known as specific phobias.
Specific phobias can be focused on certain objects or certain environments and their impact on the individual. A person with a specific phobia disorder is commonly diagnosed with behavioral disorders and the individual can suffer from anxiety attacks, persistent fear and the action of avoiding the object or environment to which their fear stems from.
This is where the concept of exposure therapy comes into play. Exposure therapy is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy in which the individual is gradually exposed to their fear over time. According to Meyer, Cedar Point is a prime location to expose students to their roller coaster fears since Cedar Point has moderate to medium to extreme roller coaster varieties available.
The overall goal of the 'Face your Fear' project is to expose students to a real-world application of how a specific therapeutic method can be applied to successfully treat a behavioral disorder. Students were active in collecting various types of data, serving as an active sample in a real-time working study, and will have the opportunity to integrate what they learn into a course project. Through this process, several individuals will in fact overcome their roller coaster phobia, opening up a previously inaccessible source of fun and excitement they can now be free to explore.Back to Previous Page

Study confirms biogas has the potential to become even greener
According to the Wroclaw University of Technology, the CO2 footprint of biogas can be reduced even more.
Biogas is one of the greenest hydrocarbon fuels on the market, but as reported, the new technology of pressurised anaerobic digestion (PAD) could help reduce the carbon footprint to an even lower level.
Compared to the non-renewable hydrocarbon fuels, where carbon footprints reach around 200 kg per megawatt-hour (MWh), most of today's biogas counts approximately 50 kg of CO2 per MWh. The recent polish research suggest that the biogas carbon footprint could be reduced even further.
Wojciech Budzianowski, a researcher at Wrocław University of Technology, and his student Karol Postawa conducted a study which showed that by increasing the pressure under which AD is performed, the biogas CO2 footprint could be lowered to 13 kilograms of CO2 per MWh (assuming that the fuel was used in the transport industry, rather than for electricity generation).
The interest for the PAD technique was increasing in past several years and the Polish study is the first to scientifically examine its potential in a real-world scenario. Many sophisticated numerical simulations were conducted in order to predict how using PAD, instead of AD, would affect the total carbon emissions of the produced biogas.
According to the simulation the resulting biogas would have a carbon footprint of 32 kg CO2 per MWh if the PAD was performed at 30 times atmospheric pressure (3 MPa/435 psi), or 13 kg CO2 per MWh if the PAD was carried out at 50 times atmospheric pressure (5 MPa/725 psi).
However, PAD has not yet been used to produce biogas on an economic scale, but this study suggest that the full potential of biogas as a low-carbon fuel is still to be obtained.

Maori Poi Dance, New Zealand 1913
Maori Poi Dance, New Zealand 1913.
"Poi" as an art form originated in the Māori in New Zealand.
The origin of Poi itself is relatively little studied, mainly because oral traditions are known. The Ur-Poi were an invention of Maori women and consisted of two equally long branches that were connected at their ends with flax. The other ends are put into the fire and brought it to burn in order to achieve an effect in the dark.
The Poi dance was originally used by the Maori women to maintain flexibility of their hands, and of the men in order to promote the necessary strength and coordination in a fight. Poi were also used as a training tool for other ancient weapons like Mere or Patu.
Poi spinning is kinesthetic related to staff rotation or pen spinning, since crossing the manipulation of a rotating object to be kinetic center, stands in front of and adjacent to both sides of the body and not on throwing and catching objects. The traditional Poi game is about a thousand years old and is regarded by the descendants of the original inhabitants of New Zealand today as a cultural tradition.

Statement from the National Muslim Task Force & National Black Muslim COVID Coalition regarding Eid ul-Adha
The National Muslim Task Force & National Black Muslim COVID Coalition
July 27th, 2020
The National Muslim Task Force has issued statements throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, from the beginning of the pandemic, during the blessed month of Ramadan, and when masajids were beginning to reopen. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a major threat to the health of our nation, our community, and the world. Here in the United States, there are states that have seen a decline of cases, while other states are seeing large increases in the number of new cases each day. The National Muslim COVID-19 Task Force and the National Black Muslim COVID Coalition strongly recommend that Muslims nationwide continue to take necessary precautions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, especially during the Eid holiday.
- Continue to follow public health guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by practicing social distancing, wearing masks and staying at home, when possible
- Avoid large congregational prayers to decrease the risk of transmission.
- Recommend praying at home and only have the minimum number of people needed to establish prayer present at the masajids with precautions.
- Donate Zakat, Sadaqah, and Qurbani/Udhiyah to organizations that are supporting vulnerable communities in the United States, local masajids, and abroad.
Protecting human life is one of the fundamental objectives of Islamic Shari'ah, a guiding principle for the Task Force. These recommendations also align with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and state and local jurisdictions.
For vulnerable individuals (elderly, existing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, immunocompromised state), this disease continues to have a high mortality rate. Recently, there are more young people, less than age 50, who are becoming infected. The virus continues to cause a severe inflammatory response in children (Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children or MIS-C) that has led to hospitalizations and even death. There is still no known cure or vaccine for COVID-19 and there is inconsistent testing across the United States.
In our history, there have been multiple documented instances where devotional acts such as daily and weekly congregational prayers, including those for funerals, Taraweeh and Eid were temporarily halted to avoid life-threatening, widespread danger from pandemics such as bubonic plague.
It is imperative for the American Muslim community to not let their guard down as COVID-19 continues to spread across the United States. While this pandemic continues to disrupt our daily social and religious norms, we must continue to be vigilant to ensure the safety of our families, neighbors, and communities, regardless of gender, race or school of thought.
For mosques that choose to open back up, we encourage them to fully comply with CDC and local public health guidelines. The National Muslim COVID-19 Task Force has issued a statement regarding how masajids should plan reopening in their communities. We also encourage that they be inclusive as they reopen and avoid discriminating based on gender or age.
The National Muslim COVID-19 Taskforce and the National Black Muslim COVID Coalition pray that Allah (SWT) continue to protect our essential workers, communities,, vulnerable populations, our country and the world from this pandemic and accepts our duas.

Cities Near Cuyahoga Falls, OH
Local city information for Cuyahoga Falls, OH
is a city in Summit County, Ohio, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 49,374. It is currently the second largest city in Summit County. It is a suburb of Akron and Cleveland and part of the Akron Metropolitan Statistical Area and the Cleveland-Akron-Elyria Combined Statistical Area. Actually older than Akron, the city was founded in 1812 by William Wetmore and was originally named Manchester. Cuyahoga Falls is named after the Cuyahoga River (which flows into Lake Erie) and the series of falls that run through the middle of the city.
Cuyahoga Falls is bordered by Akron to the south and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park to the northwest.
Cuyahoga Falls was formed in 1812 near the junction of what was then Northampton, Stow, Tallmadge, and Portage townships. The focus was the series of Cuyahoga River waterfalls that provided power for manufacturing.
In 1812 Kelsey and Wilcox built a dam on the Cuyahoga River at a place where a railroad bridge crossed it in 1876. They then built a flour mill, an oil mill, and a saw mill. This led to the construction of a number of houses. This area was known as the old village. Development moved downstream, though, when it was discovered that the power was better there. The old village was eventually destroyed in 1826 when a dam built by William Wetmore flooded the dam at the old village and its mills were torn down.
The earliest settler of Cuyahoga Falls included Joshua Stow and William Wetmore. In 1815 a saw-mill was operating near Gaylord's Grove, using power generated by a dam on the Cuyahoga River there.
The town was initially called Manchester but was renamed Cuyahoga Falls at the request of the Post Office since there were already several other Manchesters in Ohio.
The village proper was first laid out in 1826 by Judge Richardson.
The town was incorporated in 1836, occupying 240 rods out of Stow and Tallmadge townships. In 1853, seeing that the village and township of Cuyahoga Falls occupied the same territory, the village council disbanded and the community was only a township until 1868.
In 1841 the Summit County Board of Commissioners named Cuyahoga Falls county seat. The state legislature then intervened and put the location of the county seat up to a popular vote. Akron won and has been the county seat ever since. In spite of being named the county seat Cuyahoga Falls never really functioned as such.
In March 1851 the township of Cuyahoga Falls was created out of the village limits. They covered the same territory so the village council voted to adjourn sine die
, letting the village be run under township jurisdiction until June 3, 1868 when the municipal government returned.
In 1985 Cuyahoga Falls merged with Northampton Township, the first merger of a city and township in Ohio.
Cuyahoga Falls had been founded as an industrial city, taking advantage of the river power. By the 1970s, though, it had become a residential community. This changed, though, when Don Robart became mayor. He had been in favor of the merger with Northampton Township because of the additional land that could be used for development. Parts of that area have since been used for industrial development. Commercial development has also picked up, especially on the Howe Avenue area at the southern border of the city.
The city had one professional sports team, the Cuyahoga Falls Cougars, of the International Basketball League (2005-). They moved to Akron in 2006.
The Cathedral of Tomorrow
, founded by televangelist Rex Humbard in 1958, is located in Cuyahoga Falls. It is now the headquarters of televangelist Ernest Angley and was renamed Grace Cathedral.

think you know) it's not too hard to show that $\mathcal{T} \to Hom(\mathcal{S}, \mathbb{Z})$ and $\mathcal{S} \to Hom(\mathcal{T}, \mathbb{Z})$ are injections. This alone is enough to imply that the pairing is nondegenerate, hence becomes perfect after extending scalars to $\mathbb{Q}$.
So it suffices to show either that $\mathcal{T} \to Hom(\mathcal{S},\mathbb{Z})$ is surjective, or that $\mathcal{S} \to Hom(\mathcal{T},\mathbb{Z})$ is surjective (because the cokernels of these maps are finite groups of the same order, equal to the det of the matrix of the pairing with respect to $\mathbb{Z}$-bases of either side).
You seem to be trying to do the first, but the second is (I think) easier. Let $\phi \in Hom(\mathcal{T},\mathbb{Z})$ and consider the formal power series $f = \sum_{n \ge 1} \phi(T_n) q^n$. It's clear that $f \in \mathbb{Z}[[q]]$; but also that $f \in S_k(\Gamma, \mathbb{Q})$, so $f \in \mathcal{S}$. Clearly we have $(T_n, f) = a_n(f) = \phi(T_n)$ and thus we're done.
Now you can construct a "Miller-like" basis as follows. [EDIT: This doesn't actually work, see comments.] The $T_n$'s generate $\mathcal{T}$, so there is some finite subset which is a $\mathbb{Z}$-basis of $\mathcal{T}$; let these be $T_{n_1}, \dots, T_{n_d}$. Then there is a dual basis $f_1, \dots, f_d$ of $\mathcal{S}$ such that $(T_{n_i}, f_j) = \delta_{ij}$, and there are your Miller-like basis. (You can't necessarily take the $n_i$ to be $\{1, \dots, rk(\mathcal{S})\}$ though, as your example above shows.)

Thank you for this nice answer... I have one comment on the last sentence though: take $n, m$ with $n \neq 1, m \neq 1$ and $(n,m)=1$ then $\mathbb{Z} = \mathbb{Z}n + \mathbb{Z}m$ but there is no subset of $\{n, m\}$ that is a basis for $\mathbb{Z}$, so... how precisely do you want to find these $T_{n_1},..., T_{n_d}$? – Fabian Werner Jan 24 '12 at 14:17
Maybe another comment: Isnt it true that Shimura also proves that there exists a basis $f_1,..., f_n$ of modular forms for $\Gamma(N)$ such that all the Fourier coefficients are integers? Furthermore, the Hecke algebra of $\Gamma(N)$ is commutative and looks quite similar to the one for $\Gamma_0(N)$, so i dont see a reason why the result should not hold for $\Gamma(N)$ as well... (?) – Fabian Werner Jan 24 '12 at 14:36
Yes, you are quite right; my argument does not, in fact, show that there is a finite subset of the $T_n$ that is a basis for $\mathcal{T}$. Sorry, dumb mistake. – David Loeffler Jan 24 '12 at 14:52
As for your second comment: everything I said for $\Gamma_0(N)$ goes over verbatim to any group $\Gamma$ intermediate between $\Gamma_0(N)$ and $\Gamma_1(N)$. Since we can conjugate $\Gamma(N)$ to a subgroup intermediate between $\Gamma_0(N^2)$ and $\Gamma_1(N^2)$, this covers the $\Gamma(N)$ case as well. But if you take some totally generic congrence subgroup $\Gamma$ of level $N$ it's not even clear how to define $T_p$ for $p$ dividing $N$; you can certainly take the double coset $\Gamma \begin{pmatrix} 1 0 0 p \Gamma$ but this might not do anything remotely nice on $q$-expansions. – David Loeffler Jan 24 '12 at 14:54
Sorry, that should say $\Gamma \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & p \end{pmatrix} \Gamma$, obviously. – David Loeffler Jan 24 '12 at 14:55
