The Cherenkov effect is a well-known phenomenon and its properties are widely used in many fields of physics. However, some features of the polarization characteristics of Cherenkov radiation that appears when charged particles pass near azimuthally asymmetric, finite dielectric targets are still poorly studied. This problem is solved in this work. The polarization characteristics of Cherenkov radiation in the case of a rectangular dielectric screen are analyzed using the Stokes approach. Owing to the azimuthal asymmetry of the target, radiation acquires an elliptic polarization whose rotation direction and inclination angle depend both on the direction of radiation propagation and on the dielectric properties of a substance. The results demonstrate that the Cherenkov effect can be used to create sources of elliptically polarized radiation with the controlled direction of polarization rotation.

How to Remove an Auto Alarm System
by Louis Gutierrez
When a car alarm fails it can cause unforeseen--and noisy-- problems for the driver. It can even prevent you from starting the car or disabling the alarm horn, creating the ultimate neighborhood nuisance. Sometimes, the only solution is to disable the alarm and remove it altogether. Fortunately, extricating an old or malfunctioning car alarm can be easily accomplished.
The removal process can be universally applied since it's the same for all makes and models, regardless of the manufacturer.
Step 1
Remove the negative cable from the battery with your wrench.
Step 2
Remove the fuse for the car alarm. If you have an aftermarket car alarm, the fuse is located under the steering column and is wired to the car alarm. Use your hands to pull it out. If it is a factory-installed alarm, the fuse will be in the fuse box. Read the car manual to identify the correct fuse. In the case of a factory- installed alarm, removing the fuse will deactivate the alarm.
Step 3
Follow the cables leading from the car alarm and disconnect all the cables that are clipped on. The rest of the cables that are hard-wired can be cut using the wire cutter. Ensure that the cables are the ones leading only into the car alarm.
Connect the negative terminal back to the battery with your wrench. Test to see if the car alarm has been disabled successfully. Try using the remote for the alarm. Usually, if your car does not start, it is because you did not cut all the cables.

Graves, Dr. Ira
(Played by W. Morgan Sheppard)
Noted molecular cyberneticist Dr. Ira Graves was considered by some contemporaries in the 24th century to be one of the greatest human minds in the universe.
Early in his career, Graves was a teacher to Dr. Noonien Soong, and thus Graves considered himself to be a "grandfather" to the android Data.
Graves spent the last years of his long life isolated, with only assistant Kareen Briannon, on a planet he called Gravesworld. Just prior to his death in 2365 of Darnay's disease, Graves deposited his intellect into Data's positronic brain and this information was later stored in the Enterprise-D's main computer.

What Does VR Mean on Nikon Lens?
What Does VR Mean on Nikon Lens?
If you are new to Nikon cameras, you must have come across the VR code and asked yourself, "What does VR mean on Nikon lenses?" A quick lookup on the Internet will tell you that it stands for Vibration Reduction. Simply put, it is an anti-camera shake technology that also goes by the name Image Stabilization (IS) in Canon cameras and Optical SteadyShot (OSS) in Sony cameras.
While that seems to tell you what VR is for sufficiently, we'd like to go further and explain just a little bit more of the anti-camera shake feature for Nikon lenses and what it truly means for you and your shots.
What Does VR Mean on Nikon Lenses?
Long before the invention of anti-camera shake features in cameras, blurred shots were a common problem for long lenses, handheld shooting, and dim lighting. While the use of a tripod, faster shutter speed, and higher ISO helped. Still, a good number of the shots were wasted.
In the year 2000, Nikon found a solution to this problem, making way for higher success in those conditions through its version of the camera shake correction mechanism, the Vibration Reduction (VR) technology.
The VR technology is an optical innovation that provides the equivalent of three to four stops compensation, which affords you sharper photos. Through built-in special motion sensors in the lens itself, it corrects lens, camera, and hand vibration when you're shooting at slow shutter speeds.
Because of the extra three to four stops it affords you, the VR technology also lets you play around with the aperture or exposure metering function of your camera. On an overcast day, for example, you can use an f/8 aperture instead of an f/2 for greater depth-of-field. Similarly, you can also use a lower ISO setting for higher image quality.
While VR doesn't solve all blurring problems, it greatly increases the percentage for getting crisp and more explicit pictures. Shooting in very slow shutter speeds, for example, will still result in overlapping images. Working with VR though, in such case, still brings an improvement.
The same is true when taking action shots or when you're working with moving objects since the science behind the tech only reduces your motion, not your subject's. There is something though that you can do as a workaround. If you couple VR technology with faster shutter speeds and higher ISO, you can up your chances of striking gold. Using a continuous shutter mode, too, will fetch you more clear shots to choose from.
How Does VR work?
The anti-shake technology of Nikon is different compared to other brands. Nikon's VR is integrated into the lens itself, whereas other brands have them in the camera body.
So, how does it work? Once the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the built-in VR sensor and lens group are activated. Two angular velocity sensors send velocity data to the lens microcomputer that computes the compensation needed to correct the detected vertical (pitch) and horizontal (yaw) movements. Then, the data is sent to the voice coil motors (VCM) that move the VR lens unit according to the algorithm. And when the shutter-release button is fully pressed, another algorithm is used to maximize blur correction during exposure.
Nikon has two main reasons for integrating the VR technology into the lens. First is it to provide you a clear and stable image right from the viewfinder. This makes focusing on your subject and exposure metering smooth, comfortable, and precise. Second is that VR units are optimized for each lens. Micro, zoom, and telephoto lens don't get the same treatment but are fitted with VR units specific to its function. With other brands where the VR counterpart is in the camera body, it provides you a one-size-fits-all solution.
Whether it makes a significant difference if the image stabilization technology is in the lens or the body is a subject for another discussion. Still, you have to be wary of the phrase "anti-shake," which is being used loosely by other brands that get away with no real image stabilization mechanism. What they have is just a semblance of it, achieved by boosting the ISO that results in faster shutter speeds.
When Working on a Tripod, Do You Need to Turn Off VR?
If you are using a tripod, then turning on or off the VR will not have any effect on your shots. Remember, a camera shake correction technology like VR serves as a "tripod" or image stabilizer.
There are times though when you can still benefit from the VR mechanism even if you're already using a tripod. Windy conditions are one of them. Unstable footing for your tripod is another. Working with long lenses is another case, where mirror or shutter movement can cause vibration and affect your shot. In fact, Nikon's three super-telephoto lenses offer a tripod vibration reduction mode; whereas, with other Nikon lenses you can choose only between normal and active modes. Check out our article about top 3 best Tripod picks.
How Does VR and VR II Differ?
Obviously, VR II is an upgrade of the original VR technology. Besides that, here are the specific details you need to know:
 - VR II zoom lenses come with a lock switch on the side to prevent "creeping," which was an annoying problem for zoom lenses with the original VR technology. The lock translates to no unintentional lens adjustment when you have the camera slung over your shoulder or when you're shooting upwards.
 - The first VR technology fetches you three stops compensation; whereas, VR II gets you the equivalent of four stops.
 - VR II offers you better image stabilization and image quality than the older version.
 - VR II lenses also have the quieter operation than its predecessor.
So what does VR mean on Nikon lenses? It means convenient and precise focusing and exposure metering. With the need to use a tripod reduced, it also translates to more mobility. And most importantly, it means sharper and better quality images right from the viewfinder to the actual shots with the correction of the lens, camera, and hand movement.

Stresses in a Pulley
Application ID: 282
The stresses in a pulley connected to an engine that drives another pulley are studied in this model.
A parametric analysis is conducted in order to study how the rotational speed affects the stress distribution in the pulley. The power at the pulley shaft remains constant, the moment (defined by the ratio of the power by the rotational speed) will thus decrease with increased speed. This means that with increased rotational speed the inertial load increases and at the same time the driving belt-force decreases.


Merck finds fighting hunger sticks to its corporate ribs
on November 29, 2008 at 3:01 PM, updated November 29, 2008 at 3:08 PM
There are lots of problems in the world, and Merck is already working on some of them -- cancer, diabetes, HIV -- but during the past year, the company added a long-standing social issue to its list of causes. It's spending time and money to help fight hunger in communities across the United States.
Ellen Lambert, who helps decide where the giant drugmaker will direct its philanthropic efforts, recently explained why hunger became a target and shared some of her philosophy about corporate giving.
Why did Merck take up the problem of hunger?
Hunger is very complex. It's an issue that affects all of us. It affects our communities. It affects families of people who work at Merck. It affects families who live next door to people who work at Merck. It affects communities that we drive through on our way to work.
The first thing we did was look at the easiest ways to get involved, which are food drives and making donations to food banks. As we began to explore, we started to look at it as a much bigger issue. We looked at what hunger looks like in the United States, and it's so many things. It's not enough vegetables in a supermarket in your city. It's not enough fruit. It might be the husband and wife who don't heat their house because they have to feed themselves.
Everyone thinks it doesn't affect them, but look around the block. In May or June, we started to see a lot of articles about hunger and we talked to employees and this was an issue they wanted us to explore. Merck does things to support the hungry every year, food drives, small donations, but we decided we would look at it as a major issue after hearing Meals on Wheels was going bankrupt in a number of places.
It's a big issue now, and the economy makes it a much bigger issue, so we decided to look at it as an aspect of health and wellness.
We usually hear more about Merck's efforts against HIV and other diseases. Are there other things the company is working on in the same quiet way it has taken up its fight against hunger?
We're looking at a number of issues. Look at the number of underinsured and uninsured living in the U.S. We have very generous patient-assistance programs, but we're looking at, can we actually provide some other kinds of assistance.
If you look at wellness and quality of life and prevention, it isn't always just disease-specific. It can be just about stages of life when people might need more attention, parents taking care of both children and their parents, families that are stretched on both sides in terms of caregiving. I think we are looking at deeper, more complex social issues.
We're very lucky as a company. We have a foundation that is endowed and we can give money away. I think the company is very interested in doing it thoughtfully and doing it in a way that brings other partners in. We're not going to stop anything we're currently doing with HIV or diabetes, but I think we're going to look at some of the social issues that impact our communities.
How do you say no to a group asking for money?
Very fairly and very straightforward. We have specific areas that we give away money in, so first and foremost an organization's request has to fit into those areas. Second, because we do have an endowed foundation, we choose for the most part to solicit grants, so we don't accept grants that come in randomly.
We read them because there may be an idea out there that's terrific and deserves funding, but as a company, we really reach out to organizations we think we can help. With hunger, we read an article that Meals on Wheels was losing volunteers and not being able to feed folks who needed their services, and we reached out. It's helpful that we can be active in that way.
Is that what influenced Merck's decision to step up efforts against hunger, the difficulties at Meals on Wheels?
We were hearing a lot about food shortages. It was beginning to be summer and there was an article that in Philadelphia, 18,000 children would be giving up their meal a day because there are no subsidized lunches when they're not in school, and then we read about Meals on Wheels.
We made contributions to Meals and Wheels and a couple of food banks for the summer, one in New Jersey and one in Philadelphia. We're looking to do other things. Employees let us know that shelves were bare in certain food banks, so we actually made commitments. Every site in the U.S. (meaning the community where Merck has facilities) received some funding to make a contribution to one or two food banks.
From your perspective, why is philanthropy important for a company?
It's part of good citizenship. We reside here. We participate in the community. We pay taxes. We have to care as a group about everything that goes on. It's our city. It's our country. It's our world.
We make products for people, and we have to care about their well-being. I also think it's important because we all need to feel good about doing something. We all need to think we can make a difference. There was a point in time when philanthropy was a competitive issue for corporations. I don't think it's that way any longer. You see a lot of collaborations, and a lot of companies working with nonprofit groups and other corporations and non-government organizations because, you know, it is our world. Philanthropy does help to make it better.

Motion to oppose changes to the uni 4 bus route.
Proposed by Jessica Wing (_EMAIL_), seconded by Sophie Buck (_EMAIL_)
- That the Universal bus service (formerly known as the 'Uni 4') is the only public transport link between Homerton, the Education Faculty, and the Sidgwick and West Cambridge sites, as well as the hill colleges;
- That students attending Homerton and the Education Faculty make up over 10% of the student body;
- That following the changes approved at the University Planning and Resource Committee (March 2016), as of November 2016 the bus route will no longer service Hills Road, and instead run along the guided busway;
- That the cited reason for this change is an estimated profit of £63,000 p/a; 5. That disabled students in particular will be adversely affected by this route change, which will result in an inequality of access to academic study.
- That neither Homerton nor the Education Faculty were consulted about the decision.
- That disabled students are entitled to equal access to education and social events;
- That the changes to the Universal bus route will create a significant barrier to accessing education and social events for the University's disabled students.
- To oppose the changes to the Universal bus route;
- To support and publicise the petition to oppose and reverse the decision.
Motion for CUSU to limit its promotion of external events to those that have step-free access.
- That CUSU is dedicated to providing events and opportunities for the entirety of the Cambridge student body;
- That the city of Cambridge is notoriously inaccessible to wheelchair users;
- That the ability to book many of the city's accessible rooms and buildings is limited by the availability of funds, and that businesses are far more likely than student societies and groups to have access to these resources;
- That in the majority of cases, events run by external organisations that CUSU advertises are talks and presentations.
- That external organisations advertising presentations, talks, and other similar events should do more to make their events accessible to all members of the student body;
- That CUSU should not endorse businesses that do not at the very least hold events with step-free access.
- To cease promoting and advertising businesses and other external organisations which fail to provide step-free access to their events;
- To more widely publicise this requirement through relevant channels.
Motion to encourage the use of access statements.
MICHAELMAS III (9TH NOVEMBER 2015)
Proposed by Robert Corbyn-Smith (CUSU DSC Disabled Students' Officer), seconded by Richard Birkett (CUSU DSC Computing Officer)
- That without access information, disabled students cannot make informed decisions about the events they attend;
- That a comprehensive access statement includes but is not limited to:
- Describing access into, around and out of the venue or event. For example: whether there is wheelchair access, step-free access or stepped access; whether there are automatic doors; the wayfinding and signage available;
- Describing the facilities the venue or event has. For example: whether there is an accessible or partially accessible toilet; whether there is an induction loop; the seating available;
- Providing a named contact for all access enquiries.
- That access statements are not, currently, widely used across the University;
- That event providers may not be aware of how to provide access information or what information to include in an access statement;
- That a short grace period will allow CUSU to develop and improve existing resources for event providers.
- That providing comprehensive and accurate access information is the first step in making all events accessible to as many students as possible;
- That CUSU needs to do more to ensure disabled students are welcome at and encouraged to participate in events across the University, not just specific disabled students events;
- That not providing access information when advertising events unfairly disadvantages disabled students, regardless of how accessible the event is.
- To work with the Disabled Students' Campaign [DSC] to improve and publicise the access statement generator on the DSC website, and, following an open consultation of disabled students, establish guidelines on what an access statement should minimally contain by the end of Michaelmas 2015;
- From the beginning of Lent term 2016, to include a comprehensive access statement with all CUSU organised events;
- From the beginning of Lent term 2016, to refuse to advertise any event without a suitable accompanying access statement;
- To mandate the CUSU Coordinator, working in conjunction with the DSC, to create a training session on the subject of hosting accessible events, to be delivered at the beginning of Lent term 2016 and open to all students of the University (but targeted specifically towards JCR/MCR/AC Officers and Society Committee Officers).


Questions related to Suspend Mode, which is a special low-power mode often used on laptops that preserves the contents of RAM while using less power than normal. Questions related to suspending to disk should use the [hibernate] tag.
Suspend (to RAM) is a power saving mode. The machine state is held in RAM with the minimum of power needed to preserve all data. When the user wants to continue the session, they should be able to resume from suspend instantly.
Many laptops activate suspend mode automatically when the lid is closed while running on battery, or can be configured to do so. Suspend can also be activated through a GUI button or on the command line - for example, in versions of Ubuntu that use systemd, such as 16.04, suspend can be activated using the systemctl interface
A related tag is which refers to the open standard for power management interfaces. Suspend as defined by ACPI is "S3"

Before doing so, you can try the following methods to fix the issue:
1. Soft Reset Your PS4 Controller
A soft reset of your PS4 controller can often resolve minor issues, including stick drifting. Follow these steps to perform a soft reset on your controller:
- Access the Settings menu from your functioning controller.
- Next, go to the Devices option.
- Under Bluetooth Devices, select the inactive controller.
- Press the Options button and choose Forget Device.
- Turn off your PS4 console.
- Plug in the controller with a USB cable.
- Press the PS button on the controller when the console starts up again.
2. Hard Reset Your PS4 Controller
You could try a hard reset if a soft reset didn't fix the stick drift on your PS4 controller. Here's how to hard reset your PS4 controller:
- Turn off your PS4 and disconnect the controllers.
- Take the affected controller and turn it over.
- Find the small Reset button near the L2 shoulder button on its back side.
- Use a small unfolded paper clip or a rest tool to press and hold the button for 3-5 seconds.
- Switch on your PS4 controller, and use a USB cable to connect your controller.
- If the issue is resolved, you can start customizing your controller Settings again.
3. Disassemble Your PS4 Controller
If resetting doesn't eliminate the analog stick drift issue, you may have to disassemble your PS4 controller to deep clean or repair it. Here are the steps involved in disassembling a PS4 controller:
- Get a Phillips head screwdriver, a plastic pry tool, and tweezers. For cleaning supplies, grab a cotton swab, rubbing alcohol, and compressed air.
- Turn off your PS4 console and unplug your controller.
- Using the Phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the back panel.
- Once the screws are removed, gently lift the panel off the controller.
- Locate the battery and carefully lift it out of the controller to disconnect it.
- Use the prying tool to pry the joystick modules off the controller gently.
- Once the joystick modules are removed, use a cotton swab to gently clean the inside of the controller and the joystick modules. Be sure to remove any dust or debris inside that may be causing the controller drift.
- After cleaning the controller and joystick modules, reattach the modules and place the battery. Then, place the back panel and screws. Now, your controller should be ready to use again.
But keep in mind that if you are disassembling the controller, it'll void its warranty. Moreover, there is a chance that you might damage any internal component. So, follow these steps only if you can take risks involved in this method.
4. Replace the Analog Sticks
Sometimes, your PS4 stick drift issue may be an indicator of a more serious underlying problem with your analog sticks. So, to fix this, you'd need to disassemble your controller and add the new analog sticks. Here's how to do it:
- Get a Phillips head screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, clean cloth, tweezers, and flush cutters. You should also grab a set of replacement analog sticks.
- Follow the steps from 1st to 5th as explained right above (3. Disassemble Your PS4 Controller).
- After disassembling the controller, use the flat-head screwdriver to carefully pry the old analog sticks off the controller.
- If there's dirt or debris inside, use a clean cloth to gently clean the controller and the areas where the analog sticks were attached.
- Follow the instructions that came with your replacement analog sticks to attach them to the controller.
- Once you've attached the new analog sticks, reattach the modules and place the battery. Then, place the back panel and fit the screws.
- Now, connect your controller to your PS4 console to see if the issue is resolved.
But again, it is important to note that dissembling your controller can null its warranty. Not to mention that there is a risk of damage as well. So, I suggest doing so only if you know your way around these hardware and tools.
5. Send the Controller to Sony for Repairs
If you have tried all the methods and are still experiencing stick drift on your PS4 controller, you may need to send it to Sony for repairs. Sony offers a repair service for their controllers and other hardware issues. To send your PS4 controller to Sony for repairs, follow these steps:
- Go to _URL_ and select PlayStation from the list of products.
- Select Hardware & Repairs from the top menu on the next page.
- Choose PlayStation 4 from the list of products.
- Select How to/troubleshooting on the next page.
- When you select this option, a new menu will appear underneath. Click PlayStation Repairs in the list that appears.
- Select DUALSHOCK®4 from the list of PlayStation products.
- Answer the questions asked on the screen and if it doesn't fix the PS4 controller, tap the I still have the problem button. Then, tap the Request Repair button that appears underneath.
- Enter the Serial Number/Barcode in the blank space. You can find this number at the back of your controller. The Enter Serial Number button will become clickable when you enter the number.
- Click the button and follow the on-screen instructions to complete your repair request. Besides your controller's serial number and other information, you may be asked to pay a repair fee.
If your controller is eligible for repair, Sony will provide instructions on how to send it in for repairs. You will need to package your controller and send it to the repair center using the shipping instructions provided by Sony.
How to Prevent Stick Drift PS4 Controllers Issues- 5 Best Tips
To prevent stick drift PS4 controllers issues, you should keep your PS4 analog stick clean. You can also use pressurized air to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Moreover, you should protect your PS4 controllers from heat and humidity to reduce the risk of stick drifting issues.
Besides these tips, you can try being gentle with your thumbs while playing to avoid buying a new controller every few months. Keep it in a clean and dry place when you're not using it to prevent any damage. Some ways to make your PS4 controller long-lasting are:
1. Keep Your PS4 Controller Clean
Regularly clean your controller to remove dirt and debris that can cause stick drift for your PS4 controller. Use a dry cloth or napkin to gently wipe down the analog sticks and other components. You can also use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.
2. Protect Against the Elements
Avoid exposing your PS4 controller to extreme temperatures, moisture, or other harsh conditions. These can damage the controller's components and cause its sticks to drift in the wrong direction.
3. Use Compressed Air
Hold your PS4 controller with the sticks facing upwards and the buttons facing down. Then, use compressed air to clean it. Shake it gently to loosen any debris inside, then carefully spray a small amount of compressed air into the gaps around the sticks. Be careful not to use too much air, as it can damage the controller.
4. Play Gently
Handle your PS4 controller gently and avoid using excessive force. This is because rough handling can damage its internal components, cause stick drift, and interfere with the sensor. Moreover, it may wear out your controller quickly.
5. Store Your PS4 Controller in a Safe Place
Store your controller in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and other heat sources. This protects the controller against the risk of damaging its components.

These forts were built under the direction of Georg Anton Schaeffer, an agent with the Russian-American Company, and Fort Elizabeth was named for the Czarina of Russia at the time of fort construction. The Russians made an alliance with Kauai King Kaumualii to build the forts and to secure a provisioning station in Hawaii for the Russian-American ships trading between the American Northwest and Asia across the Pacific Ocean. The Russians were forced to leave Kauai and abandon the forts in 1817. Hawaiian troops completed & occupied Fort Elizabeth from 1817 until 1864.
The fort was dismantled in 1864 by order of the Hawaiian government and the fort has fallen into disrepair since that time. The remnants of Russian Fort Elizabeth consist of the fort wall made of basalt boulders staked over an earthen

25,000 plants including Dacrydium cupressinum, Podocarpus totara, Prumnopitys ferruginea, Chionochloa Rubra, Coprosma robusta, Lophmyrtus obcordate, Coprosma Wallii, Cordyline australis, Austroderia/ Cortaderia richardii, Cyathea dealbata, Cyathea medullaris, Kunzea ericoides/robusta, Leptospermum scoparium, Phormium cookianum, Phormium tenax and Pseudopanax ferox.
Around 3,500 vehicles use the Taramakau Bridge each day, on State Highway 6.
A new two-lane bridge was built to replace the existing one-lane Taramakau Bridge which dated back to the 1800s, and still serviced road, rail and cyclists. The new bridge means local business operators, freight vehicles and residents will no longer have to wait at each end on their daily commutes, it provides a safer and more efficient transport link for West Coast locals and for tourists.
Planet & Eco-Leadership
Extensive landscaping was completed at the new bridge site. In terms of project location, the West Coast is considered remote from a logistical perspective. The only access is through alpine passes and with the disruption and closure of the Kaikoura highway during this project made the Tamarakau Bridge just that little more remote for us. This added to the challenge of supplying a seamless project.
Because of its location, the plant list used on this project was also quite different to typical plant lists used in similar plantings in the North Island. It included large numbers of species such as Chionochloa Rubra, Cortaderia richardii and other species typically found on the West Coast of the South Island. There is something wild, beautiful and untouched by the natural beauty of the South Island West Coast, and we treat it as a privilege to be involved with this project.
Kauri Park are once again pleased to be part of this magnificent project with Fulton Hogan and take great responsibility to make sure these plantings are a seamless part for the contractors.
Daniel McDonald from Fulton Hogan says – "In July this year we were pleased to wrap up one of the largest projects that Fulton Hogan Landscape has been involved in. The Taramakau bridge construction project was brought together and beautified with over 25 thousand native trees and shrubs, all supplied by Kauri park nursery. With a project of this size and tight time lines it was not only important to us to partner with a company that has the infrastructure and capabilities to produce large quantities of premium product, but also has the follow up customer services that we require. The execution and delivery of all the required plants for the Taramakau bridge project was near flawless. The plants were delivered on site to the project by Kauri Park on the West Coast of the South Island, on time and in great condition."

From: Francisco Gutierrez To: Teacher2Teacher Public Discussion Date: _PHONE_:09:59 Subject: Re: Importance of Orthocenter Has it ever occurred to you why we need to learn the orthocenter? Do you even know what an orthocenter is? Well in this paragraph I am going to answer your question. An orthocenter is the point where the three altitudes meet of a triangle, according to dictionary.com. This point can be either inside, outside, or even on the triangle itself. After doing some research online, I can tell you that the orthocenter is one of the more important points on a triangle of the four major centers. Euler was a mathematician who stated that the circumcenter, the orthocenter, centroid, and the center of the nine point circle are co-linear, unless the triangle is equilateral, according to Scieceray. The orthocenter will be outside the triangle if one of the angles is over 90 degrees.

Okay, so here's my question:
Every full 4-ary tree of height 2 has at least ________ vertices and at most ________ vertices.
I know the formula to find the max number of leaves is m^h leaves in an m-ary tree of height h.
However, I don't know how to find max/min number of vertices. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Okay, so I used the max number of leaves formula (m^h) to get the max possible number of leaves for my 4-ary tree. The answer is 16. So, I got to thinking, what if I use the formula n = (ml - 1)/(m-1) (n being vertices, m being the m-ary tree, and l being the leaves). I plugged everything in and got 21. Is this the answer of the max vertices? If so, how do I get the min?


[Let's Study: Fantasy AGE by Green Ronin] Part 3: Basic Rules
Posted: August 5, 2015 by pointyman2000 in Fantasy AGE, Let's Study, Roleplaying Games
Tags:,,
Now that we've gotten the character creation out of the way, we turn our focus today to the basic rules of the game.
Before we get to talking about how to roll for tests in the Fantasy AGE system, let's talk about dice first. Fantasy AGE relies exclusively on six-sided dice.
The normal ability test is a 3d6 + Ability roll. However, its important to remember that you need to roll two dice of the same color, and a third die of another color. This differently colored die is called the Stunt Die, and is used to generate Stunt Points, determine degrees of success, or break ties.
Whenever you make an ability and roll doubles, you generate Stunt Points equal to the face value of the Stunt Die. These are then spent on special maneuvers. These are often Combat Stunts, though Spell, Roleplaying and Exploration stunts exist too.
Difficulties for Fantasy AGE range from 7 (Routine) to 21 (Nigh Impossible) with most tests being 11 (Average) or Challenging (13).
On a successful roll, you can determine how well your character did by checking the Stunt Die. A result of 1 means you barely succeeded while a 6 is a flawless success.
Fantasy AGE sticks to the basics here, introducing the concept of "Action time" to get new RPG players into the idea of turn-based combat.
Initiative is handled in standard fashion, with Dexterity (Initiative) ability test. For ties, the Stunt Die value acts as a tie breaker. Doubles don't do anything here, so no Stunt Points are generated.
Initiative is resolved from the highest Initiative roll down to the lowest, with lesser NPCs acting in groups. Initiative is only rolled once and remains the same throughout the fight.
Actions in Fantasy AGE are divided into Major and Minor Actions. During a turn, a character may perform 1 Major and 1 Minor action, or 2 Minor Actions. These can be performed in any sequence.
Major actions include: All-Out Attack, Charge, Defend, Heal, Melee Attack, Ranged Attack and Run.
Healing consumes bandages and allows a character to make a TN 11 Intelligence (healing) test to recover Health equal to the Stunt Die + the healer's Intelligence. A character cannot benefit from another Heal action until additional damage is taken.
Minor actions are: Activate, Aim, Guard Up, Move, Prepare, Press the Attack, Ready, Stand Firm.
Guard up allows the player to add a +1 or +2 to the character's Defense until the end of the round. The trade off is that they suffer the same value as a penalty to all actions they make for the rest of the round as well.
Press the Attack allows you to pursue a target opponent if they choose to move away in their next turn.
Stand Firm allows the character to try and resist any and all effort to move them from where they stand.
In addition to Major and Minor Actions, two other actions are considered to be Variable, as they can be Major or Minor depending on circumstances. These are the Cast and Reload actions.
Now that we've gone over the basics of actions, Combat is the next section covered. Combat is pretty straightforward in Fantasy AGE, as it usually relies on Ability Tests with Accuracy or Fighting vs the target's Defense as the TN.
Damage is resolved by rolling the weapon's damage rating and adding the attacking character's Strength Ability. This value is reduced by the opponent's armor.
This is where the magic happens. During a successful attack roll, if the player rolls doubles, they generate a number of Stunt Points equal to the value of the Stunt Die.
The Stunt Points must be used right away, and a stunt can only be performed once per round with the exception of the Skirmish Stunt.
The Combat Stunt list is pretty extensive, with 15 different stunts to choose from, costing anywhere from 1 to 5 SP each to execute. The Stunts range from anything from free movement, to free reloads, bonus damage, bonuses to tests and inflicting status effects on your target.
The Combat section also takes some time to talk about special rules regarding special cases. Grenades are given a few minor rules, and a special Stunt to go with it. Mounted combat considerations are provided with some bonuses to fighting mounted against opponents on foot and Flight is given some attention in the form of special Minor and Major actions.
Healing in Fantasy AGE is pretty straightforward. The Heal action was discussed earlier, but there are other options for healing, such as taking a 5-minute rest after combat, where a character recovers 5 + Constitution + Level of Health.
Another option is getting some sleep, which recovers 10 + Constitution + Level.
Finally, there's magical healing from the Healing Arcana (which we'll tackle later on in the Magic section of the Let's Study series.)
I'm really liking how Fantasy AGE is written with new players in mind. The rules are clear, and easy to comprehend, and there are enough examples to guide a new player through it without raising too many questions.
The Stunts are an interesting implementation of special maneuvers found in other games, and each time someone rolls doubles becomes a highlight in every encounter as the character suddenly does something above and beyond the usual "I hit, you hit" exchange.
Next up, we'll take a look at the Chapter of Character Options, which deals with Ability Focuses and Talents.
The Fantasy AGE Basic Rulebook is available in PDF format from DriveThruRPG for only $15.99 or roughly Php 720.

 Fantastic! am thinking of picking this one up sometime. Trying to find a fantasy system that is a little less book keeping heavy than WFRP3.

 What does it mean to roll doubles here? Any two dice or only the same colored dice?

Synonyms for opinionatedəˈpɪn yəˌneɪ tɪd
This thesaurus page is about all possible synonyms and similiar words for the term opinionated
English Synonyms and Antonyms, by James Champlin Fernald
Dogmatic is technically applied in a good sense to that which is formally enunciated by adequate authority; doctrinal to that which is stated in the form of doctrine to be taught or defended. Dogmatic theology, called also "dogmatics," gives definite propositions, which it holds to be delivered by authority; systematic theology considers the same propositions in their logical connection and order as parts of a system; a doctrinal statement is less absolute in its claims than a dogmatic treatise, and may be more partial than the term systematic would imply. Outside of theology, dogmatic has generally an offensive sense; a dogmatic statement is one for which the author does not trouble himself to give a reason, either because of the strength of his convictions, or because of his contempt for those whom he addresses; thus dogmatic is, in common use, allied with arrogant and kindred words.

Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Education and Skills Thomas Byrne says the failure by Minister Bruton to engage constructively with teaching unions on pay equality could lead to major industrial unrest in schools across Ireland.
Deputy Byrne made the comments after the INTO rejected the new public service pay agreement negotiated last month. The ASTI and TUI are also in the process of balloting members on the pay agreement.
"Currently new entrants to the teaching profession start on much lower salary scales as compared to their established colleagues. The difference in pay scales means that a new teacher will earn up to €100,000 less than their colleagues over the course of their career. This is having a detrimental impact on morale in schools as new teachers are understandably disillusioned.
"We cannot have a situation where schools are closed again in Autumn and Winter. We saw the negative impact that this had last year on students. Students have already suffered enough, and Minister Bruton must work constructively with the teaching unions to avoid a repeat of this.
"The outcome of the INTO ballot clearly demonstrates the level of frustration amongst teaching staff. New teachers understand why separate pay scales were implemented during the economic crisis, but they have been left in the lurch as the Government has not set out a pathway for securing pay equality as the economy recovers.
"Minister Bruton needs to give a firm commitment that he will work constructively with all the teaching unions to avoid any closure of schools later this year is working towards achieving pay equality for new teachers as public finances improve. The current situation is eroding morale in schools and simply cannot be allowed to continue.
"The Minister must also recognise that failure to provide leadership on the pay equality issue could lead to widespread industrial unrest in schools right across the country," concluded Deputy Byrne.

How To Choose A School For Architecture And Interior Design
July 8, 2017 Steven Murphy
If you're thinking of joining the world of architecture and interior design and you're not sure where to start, it is best that you consider formal education before stepping into the real world.
However, choosing a school for architecture and interior design can be a daunting task because of the plenty of options available. For this reason, you have to consider several factors to pick the best interior design architecture school.
What Does The School Have To Offer?
When planning a course in architecture and interior design, you have to examine what the school has to offer. First, you have to choose the level of education the school offers. Since some places have qualification requirements for both architecture and interior design professionals, it is important to check if the school is recognized in board examinations and other tests.
Another important factor is the duration of course. While some schools offer a two-month course, others provide an in-depth, four-year course. If you need only the basics of architecture and interior design, a two-month course can do the job. However, if you need an extensive education, four-year courses could offer you not only the education you need, but also certifications that are needed for a successful career in architecture or interior design.
Of course, the next thing to consider is the cost of education. Since architecture and interior design both require costly equipments, it is best that you look for schools that have financial aid programs. If you have the money to spare, you could go to private colleges that offer interior architecture and interior design degrees. If financial aid or private school is not an option for you, you could look for public universities that offer your desired course.
The next thing to consider is location of the school. If you want to live near your house, choose the best school that offers architecture interior design. However, if you feel that the best school is located at the next state and your goal is to go to the best school, then location is not a factor for you. When this is the case, you can always look for housing options like dorms that are near your preferred school.
The last factor to consider is the atmosphere of the school. Before enrolling with a particular university, visit the school and determine the school's population, size of the school property, location and other factors. If you think the school is conducive to your studies as an architecture and interior design student, then you have found the best school for your formal education.Eddie Lamb publishes an abundance of information on a range of topical subjects.

- Air-dry clay
- Disposable plastic wine glasses (with detachable base)
- Cotton cord
- Craft knife
1. Moisten a piece of air-dry clay and roll out until about 1/8″ thick. Place the plastic wine glass down onto the clay and cut around leaving a circular disk of clay.
2. Turn the glass over and use the stem to press a hole into the center of the disk.
3. Push the disk down over the stem and flatten it against the rounded bottom of the glass, smoothing the whole piece using water.
4. Once you've made all the disks, take the excess clay and roll into beads for the center of the disks. Use a skewer or beading reamer to make a hole through the ball.
5. Leave the clay for 24 hours to set. To remove from the glass, run a craft knife carefully around the edge of the clay and lift off. Sand the edges smooth with fine sandpaper.
6. Thread the pieces onto the cord and knot underneath each bead to hold into place.
7. Once you've created all of the strands wrap the excess onto a branch and hang!

When an IRA participant dies, the post-death distribution rules for their IRA are dependent on many factors:
- Whether the participant died before or after he or she was required to begin receiving distributions from their IRA.
- Whether the participant had designated beneficiaries to receive distributions from their IRA following the participant's death.
- Whether a spouse or non-spouse was designated as the beneficiary of the IRA.
- Whether the participant designated multiple beneficiaries of the IRA.

Apply for a Determination Letter - Quality Assurance Review
The role of the Quality Assurance Staff (QAS) is to measure the quality of work done on Employee Plans determination cases. They perform a quality assurance review to ensure that consistency and quality are maintained in the determination letter application review and development process. The QAS consists of a manager and a centralized determination letter application review team.
General review process
After all necessary additional information is secured by a technical screener or specialist, a determination letter is prepared and the case is submitted to the group manager. However, a case may be returned to the specialist if further development is warranted. If no further development is needed, the group manager then approves the case for closing.
All cases approved by a group manager for closing are subject to a random sampling or mandatory quality assurance review by QAS before the determination letter is issued.
Once a case is received by the QAS, an assignment letter is issued to the plan sponsor (and a copy is sent to the person with Power of Attorney) providing the reviewer's name and phone number.
If the QAS discovers additional issues after reviewing the case, they may return the case to the specialist to resolve the issues before issuing a determination letter. This may delay the case closing process. Otherwise once the QAS' review of the plan is complete, and all issues have been addressed and resolved, they will issue a determination letter for the plan.
The following cases are subject to a mandatory quality assurance review:
- Foreign plans
- Proposed adverse determination letters
- Termination cases with reversions of more than $5,000,000
- Termination cases with over 1,000 participants
- Technical advice requests
- Cases in which interested party comments are received
Appeals and withdrawal
If certain requirements are not satisfied, the IRS may propose an adverse or unfavorable determination letter. If an adverse or unfavorable determination letter is proposed, the submitter's options are:
- Appeals - The appeals process is available when the IRS and the taxpayer cannot resolve issues and the IRS proposes an adverse determination letter. See:
- Technical Advice - A technical advice request is a request for guidance about a procedural or technical issue. The IRS provides a response in the form of a memorandum to the individual taxpayer. Technical advice requests help IRS personnel resolve complex issues and help establish and maintain consistent holdings throughout the IRS.
Generally, the IRS will determine when a taxpayer should request technical advice, but the taxpayer may also request that an issue be forwarded for technical advice. A request for technical advice is encouraged on any technical or procedural questions that cannot be resolved on the basis of law, regulations, or a clearly applicable revenue ruling or other published precedent.
Some determination letter requests involve issues that are subject to mandatory technical advice. These issues are listed in the annual revenue procedure covering technical advice:
- Revenue Procedure 2014-5, Technical Advice
- Withdrawal - The applicant's request for a determination letter may be withdrawn by a written request at any time prior to the issuance of a final adverse letter. Withdrawal of the application will not result in an adverse letter. However, user fees are non-refundable. Also, an information referral may be made to EP Examinations to consider an audit of the plan.

Hibernate Criteria examples
Hibernate Criteria API is a more object oriented and elegant alternative to Hibernate Query Language (HQL). It's always a good solution to an application which has many optional search criteria.
Example in HQL and Criteria
Here's a case study to retrieve a list of StockDailyRecord, with optional search criteria – start date, end date and volume, order by date.
1. HQL example
In HQL, you need to compare whether this is the first criteria to append the 'where' syntax, and format the date to a suitable format. It's work, but the long codes are ugly, cumbersome and error-prone string concatenation may cause security concern like SQL injection.
public static List getStockDailtRecord(Date startDate,Date endDate,
 Long volume,Session session){

 SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
 boolean isFirst = true;

 StringBuilder query = new StringBuilder("from StockDailyRecord ");

 if(startDate!=null){
 if(isFirst){
 query.append(" where date >= '" + sdf.format(startDate) + "'");
 }else{
 query.append(" and date >= '" + sdf.format(startDate) + "'");
 }
 isFirst = false;
 }

 if(endDate!=null){
 if(isFirst){
 query.append(" where date <= '" + sdf.format(endDate) + "'");
 }else{
 query.append(" and date <= '" + sdf.format(endDate) + "'");
 }
 isFirst = false;
 }

 if(volume!=null){
 if(isFirst){
 query.append(" where volume >= " + volume);
 }else{
 query.append(" and volume >= " + volume);
 }
 isFirst = false;
 }

 query.append(" order by date");
 Query result = session.createQuery(query.toString());

 return result.list();
}
2. Criteria example
In Criteria, you do not need to compare whether this is the first criteria to append the 'where' syntax, nor format the date. The line of code is reduce and everything is handled in a more elegant and object oriented way.
 public static List getStockDailyRecordCriteria(Date startDate,Date endDate,
 Long volume,Session session){

 Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class);
 if(startDate!=null){
 criteria.add(Expression.ge("date",startDate));
 }
 if(endDate!=null){
 criteria.add(Expression.le("date",endDate));
 }
 if(volume!=null){
 criteria.add(Expression.ge("volume",volume));
 }
 criteria.addOrder(Order.asc("date"));

 return criteria.list();
 }
Criteria API
Let go through some popular Criteria API functions.
1. Criteria basic query
Create a criteria object and retrieve all the 'StockDailyRecord' records from database.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class);
2. Criteria ordering query
The result is sort by 'date' in ascending order.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .addOrder( Order.asc("date") );
The result is sort by 'date' in descending order.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .addOrder( Order.desc("date") );
3. Criteria restrictions query
The Restrictions class provide many methods to do the comparison operation.
Restrictions.eq
Make sure the valume is equal to 10000.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .add(Restrictions.eq("volume", 10000));
Restrictions.lt, le, gt, ge
Make sure the volume is less than 10000.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .add(Restrictions.lt("volume", 10000));
Make sure the volume is less than or equal to 10000.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .add(Restrictions.le("volume", 10000));
Make sure the volume is great than 10000.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .add(Restrictions.gt("volume", 10000));
Make sure the volume is great than or equal to 10000.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .add(Restrictions.ge("volume", 10000));
Restrictions.like
Make sure the stock name is start with 'MKYONG' and follow by any characters.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .add(Restrictions.like("stockName", "MKYONG%"));
Restrictions.between
Make sure the date is between start date and end date.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .add(Restrictions.between("date", startDate, endDate));
Restrictions.isNull, isNotNull
Make sure the volume is null.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .add(Restrictions.isNull("volume"));
Make sure the volume is not null.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class)
 .add(Restrictions.isNotNull("volume"));
Many other Restrictions functions can find here.

3. Criteria paging the result
Criteria provide few functions to make pagination extremely easy. Starting from the 20th record, and retrieve the next 10 records from database.
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(StockDailyRecord.class);
criteria.setMaxResults(10);
criteria.setFirstResult(20);
Why not Criteria !?
The Criteria API do bring some disadvantages.
1. Performance issue
You have no way to control the SQL query generated by Hibernate, if the generated query is slow, you are very hard to tune the query, and your database administrator may not like it.
1. Maintainece issue
All the SQL queries are scattered through the Java code, when a query went wrong, you may spend time to find the problem query in your application. On the others hand, named queries stored in the Hibernate mapping files are much more easier to maintain.
Conclusion
Nothing is perfect, do consider your project needs and use it wisely.

 "In HQL, you need to compare whether this is the first criteria to append the 'where' syntax, and format the date to a suitable format."
 If you think this is true, you're not thinking hard enough.
 One thing I've gotten really good at is how I can refactor code to avoid unnecessary repetitions (having to deal with a whole load of unnecessary repetitions in workplace source code just st. There are several ways you can come up with to tackle the above problem.
 1) Use "Where 1=1 " (yea, may have performance issue)
 2) Use "Where True " (maybe better in performance)

Polar Studies History
On Saturday, April 18th 2009 the Geology department officially inaugurated the Robert A. Pritzker Center for Meteoritics and Polar Studies. This new Collection and Research facility was funded by the Tawani Foundation with a generous grant of $7.3 million, and included a significant meteorite collection from the Planetary Studies Foundation valued at an additional $3 million.
In attendance at the ribbon cutting ceremony and polar panel on April 18 were FM Trustee and former Board Chair Robert Pritzker and Col. James Pritzker, members of Col. Pritzker's recent Antarctic expedition, representatives of the Tawani Foundation, a representative of Prince Albert of Monaco, and Board Chairman, John Canning.
The generosity of Col. James Pritzker and the Tawani Foundation enable The Field Museum to stay at the forefront of meteorite research, as well as open new avenues of research in the polar regions, including paleontology, biodiversity studies, and climate change.

A Comparison of France and Germany
The Social Foundations of Industrial Power challenges the theory of industrial convergence, which maintains that as societies become more modern, they develop increasingly similar industrial structures and industrial relations and "converge" to resemble a single model of the advanced industrial society.The book opens by analyzing the considerable differences between the pay scales for direct labor in French and German industry. It then takes up and summarizes the results of the authors' research into such questions as: How has the wage-labor relation developed in each society?

Correlation of Upper-Atmospheric 7Be with Solar Energetic Particle Events
NAVAL RESEARCH LAB WASHINGTON DC E O HULBURT CENTER FOR SPACE RESEARCH
Pagination or Media Count:
A surprisingly large concentration of radioactive 7Be was observed in the upper atmosphere at altitudes above 320 km on the LDEF satellite that was recovered in January 1990. We report on follow-up experiments on Russian spacecraft at altitudes of 167 to 370 km during the period of 1996 to 1999, specifically designed to measure 7Be concentrations in low earth orbit. Our data show a significant correlation between the 7Be concentration and the solar energetic proton fluence at Earth, but not with the overall solar activity. During periods of low solar proton fluence, the concentration is correlated with the galactic cosmic ray fluence. This indicates that spallation of atmospheric N by both solar energetic particles and cosmic rays is the primary source of 7Be in the ionosphere.

This paper analyzes whether participation in formal and informal community activities helped household in Indonesia mitigating the impact of the 1998 economic crisis and increasing the probability of household head being employed. The paper uses the 1997 and 2000 round of Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) to capture the impact of economic crisis on household welfare. The empirical results do not seem to support those hypotheses. Using number of children in each household as instrumental variable to solve the reverse causality and omitted variable bias problems, we find no statistically significant effect of community participation on the ability of households to mitigate expenditure shocks and to smooth consumption. The large magnitude and universal nature of the shock might explain why social capital did not help households. Participation in community activities also does not seem to significantly explain the probability of household heads being employed in the period of the crisis.

Run Collator Node
Darwinia Collators play a crucial role in the Darwinia Network as they are responsible for block production and ensuring block liveness. These Collators collect transactions from users on the parachain and generate state transition proofs for Relay Chain validators. In essence, they provide blocks to validators on the relay chain for finalization.
To learn more about Collators and their functions, you can click here. This resource will provide you with detailed information on the topic.
Note
The steps outlined below are based on Darwinia, and the steps for Crab are similar.
 - RAM: 8 GB:
 - Storage(SSD): 800 GB
Download Snapshot
It's important to note that there is a faster method to expedite the syncing process**.** You can achieve this by downloading the snapshot blockchain data and moving it to the current node database location and greatly speeding up the node sync process. Click here for more detailed instructions.
Start The Collator Node
 1. Open a terminal shell on your computer
 2. Create a work dirctory
 Let's create a directory called run-collator-node to store everything needed for setting up an collator node, including the downloaded node binary and the chain database.
 mkdir run-collator-node && cd run-collator-node

 3. Download and decompress the binary.
 As of the time of writing this doc(2023-09-04), the latest version of the Darwinia node is v6.4.0. Please ensure that you check for the latest version when running your own node.
 wget _URL_
 tar xvf darwinia-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

 4. Start the node by running the following command:
 ./darwinia --chain darwinia --base-path /data/darwinia-collator --frontier-backend-type sql --collator

 5. Verify your node is up and running successfully by reviewing the output displayed in the terminal. The terminal should display output similar to this:
