Exploding Milk Bottles! When Ice and Dairy collide…
Sub-zero temperatures can be hazardous. If frostbite, hypothermia and road accidents weren't bad enough; now our milk bottles are exploding!
In a previous post, Ruth wanted to know the answer to her milk bottle saga:
Sweet-tasting cream erupting from a bottle of milk!
"My milk was frozen this morning so that the cream erupted out of the bottle in a column. I see why that happened but why did this bit of cream taste really sweet?"
After promising to investigate and learning about the science behind a simple bottle of milk, it seems Ruth has discovered an ingenious way to get naturally sweet cream…
What happens when you freeze milk?
Milk is mostly water, so when it turns into ice (at about -0.5 degrees C) it expands as it freezes. So if the bottle is pretty full then an eruption is likely…
Water expands by about 10% when it freezes, which is why frozen pipes tend to burst!
Milk isn't just water though; it contains fats, proteins and sugar (lactose). If you've ever made an olive oil salad dressing, then you will know that fats (oil) and water don't like to mix. It is the same with the milk fats: They help to give milk its nice white colour and they are dissolved, but only just. If you freeze milk slowly, then as the water turns to ice the fats 'condense' out and rise to the top as cream.
Fat is suspended in milk as microscopic globules. When milk freezes slowly, the globules come together as cream
So why did Ruth's cream taste so sweet?
Why does frozen cream taste sweet?
Ruth's main question had me stumped: milk contains sugar (called lactose) but why would the cream taste particularly sweet? Well, I eventually found the answer in a 1935 research paper where researchers in Washington, USA devoted months of research to what finding out all the different things that happen to milk when you freeze it!
Those of you who have sugar in your tea will testify: sugar mixes and dissolves well in water with a bit of a stir. The sugar in milk (lactose) is a bit different, and doesn't dissolve in water as well.
Lactose (milk sugar): Looks like normal sugar but doesn't dissolve well
So, in the same way cream separates from milk when freezing, so does the sugar. The researchers found that cream from frozen milk had sucked up lots of lactose from the milk and so tasted sweet!
Is it safe to freeze milk?
If you forego the risks associated with potentially exploding milk bottles, drinking milk that has been frozen is perfectly safe. If you fancy stock-piling a few bottles of milk for a rainy day, then freezing is good way of stopping it going off. If you freeze it quickly, it is less likely to separate. But when it is defrosted, a good shake will mix the cream and the liquid back together again, giving you the perfect accompaniment to your morning Cheerios!

 1. Thanks Dr Stu,
 I was thinking is this a way to make lactose free milk for people who are lactose intolerant? Happy Christmas. Ruthie
 Posted by Ruth Behan | December 23, 2010, 12:09 pm
 - It could be… but it probably wouldn't get rid of all the lactose. You can buy lactose-free dairy milk. They get rid of the lactose by adding an enzyme to break it down into simple sugar. The enzyme they add is the same one that is missing in people who are lactose intollerant (lactase) – so it should have exactly the same nutritional benefits as normal milk (Apparently, it makes the milk taste a bit sweeter).

 2. Dr Stu，
 Could you please tell me if these's any sucrose and fructose in milk？Thanks a lot
 Posted by NanZhang | October 31, 2012, 9:16 am
 - Hi there – thanks for the question.
 In a word, no.
 The main sugar in milk is lactose. There are minute traces of other sugars (e.g. glucose). Fructose comes from plants (fruits and vegetables). Sucrose is present in fruit and vegetables, but is principally isolated from sugar cane and sugar beets.
 Lactose is actually a disaccharide – meaning it is made of two, more basic, sugars. When digested, it is broken down into glucose and galactose.
 Hope that answers your question!

Tuesday 12 March, 1–2pm, Dr Garrett Hellenthal, 'Identifying and dating historical admixture events in humans using DNA'
4 March 2013
Gavin de Beer LT, Anatomy Building, UCL
We describe a new method that uses DNA to identify historical events that have shaped present-day populations. In particular, the approach exploits modern large-scale genetic collections to unearth times in the past where two or more genetically distinct groups interacted and exchanged DNA. The method dates precisely when such events occurred, characterizes the amount of DNA exchange, and describes the genetic composition of the (perhaps extinct) groups involved. We highlight the model's advantages over currently available techniques in the field, including its improved parameter estimation and the additional information it contributes beyond any available methods. Our inference, based entirely on DNA, provides a powerful complement to anthropological resources, helping to resolve existing archaeological controversies, determine precisely how much DNA exchange accompanied known historical periods, and discover previously unknown events. We describe an application to data collected from 95 world-wide geographic regions, in which we characterize over 100 DNA exchange events occurring in the past 3000 years.

Public libraries are places that collect collections of books, printed materials and other records for the benefit of the general public. Public libraries can also be interpreted as various educational institutions for the general public by providing various kinds of scientific information, on the management of library book data, both those that are often borrowed and those that cannot be returned and the types of books in the library or recording book borrowing transactions such as book records still use the traditional way, this is one of the channels that is exceeded to meet and monitor the reading interest of visitors in Siak Kecil sub-district. On this basis, a Library System Dashboard will be developed using the Proptotyping methodology. This system is built using PHP (Hypertext Processor) as programming language and MySQL as database. Once done, blackbox testing can show that the system is running as expected. Based on the user acceptance test (UAT) that has been carried out, it shows that 94% of the systems built are well accepted and can be the head of the library in managing data and helping decision making.

Working With CSV File Using NodeJS
| Comments
I worked with CSV data some years back and I'm always curious to know how well NodeJS handles CSV filesystem in the backend compare with the likes of Java, .NET, Ruby or PHP environments.
As it turns out, I figured you can do things with it in the smallest possible way, by importing the following modules.
1
2
let fs = require('fs');
let fastcsv = require('fast-csv');
We have the fast-csv module to handle the CSV data(especially if it's fairly large dataset thus the chosen module has to be performant-driven) when reading it from the FileStream input like so.

let readableStreamInput = fs.createReadStream('./some-csv-table.csv');
let csvData = [];
fastcsv
 .fromStream(readableStreamInput, {headers: true})
 .on('data', (data) => {
 let rowData = {};
 Object.keys(data).forEach(current_key => {
 rowData[current_key] = data[current_key]
 });
 csvData.push(rowData);
 }).on('end', () => {
 console.log('csvData', csvData);
 console.log('total rows of table', csvData.length);
 })
In here, what we're saying is as follows:
 - First, we create and open up some ReadableStream object readableStreamInput on our CSV file so we can perform some type of file manipulation within the filesystem.
 - We then use npm module fastcsv to read up on our readableStreamInput in fromStream method. In the same method, I want to include headers in the dataset because I want to reference each row fields' values to their corresponding field names when parsing.
 - Then within our data callback handler, our fastcsv module will look at each line of the CSV input stream so we can decide what to do with them. Normally, we can perform a number of interesting operations here, especially when refining and parsing CSV input data. In this case, I'm creating new rowData object for each new line that comes through. At the same time, I want to capture each row's field data and store them individually as object properties by using its respective field name current_key.
 - Once I'm done parsing all the column fields in the row, I add the same row instance to my csvData array.
 - And then repeat the process for the rest of the 'rows' in the CSV table file.
What's cool with this is you can immediately serve up this parsed CSV data on the front end as JSON format without adding other web server middleware to be configured in backend - just by adding just a few lines of code.

let http = require('http');
let server = http.createServer((req, resp) => {
 resp.writeHead(200, {'content-type': 'application/json'});
 resp.end(JSON.stringify(csvData));
})
server.listen(5050);
console.log('Server listening on port: 5050');
And that's it!
With this, it leaves room for other possibilities in your web stack application such as encapsulating your JSON data representation into some ORM model such as non-relational databases ie MongoDB, MySQL, Cassandra as well as relational ones ie MySQL, Postgres etc. And then design your RESTFUL endpoints layer on top of it. Thus you will end up with a perhaps, unsophisticated, but light-weight architecture you can start with and scale your web app without much friction accordingly.
Using libraries inside NodeJS ecosystem certainly takes care all of the nitty gritty complicated stuff on streaming, fetching and serializing data online for users to consume. Their rich packages certainly offer plenty of useful and, often, simpler abstractions to make you write reliable code.
Happy Coding!

The overall aim of the IC3 Programme is to improve Punjab Police's operational efficiency by deploying new hardware using up-to-date technology that will enable the Police to adopt more efficient working practices and new operating concepts. The role of the Police will not fundamentally change by the introduction of the IC3; the efficiencies relate to how that role is carried out from both process and performance perspectives. In progressing towards greater efficiencies, one of the IC3 aims is to bring together various elements of Punjab Police operation to work as a more unified team.
The IC3 operations will integrate the Command, Control, and Communication functions through 5 Services areas:
- Emergency Call Centre (ECC) – ECC will be handling all incoming and outgoing public trunk calls in wake of emergency.
- Dispatching Centre (DC) – DC will dispatch, monitor and support operational resources efficiently and timely manner.
- Strategic Operations & Monitoring Suite (SOMS) – SOMS will proactively and intelligently monitor the public spaces and will include:
- Video Management System is responsible for displaying video streams Video-Based Incident Detection system based on intelligent analysis of the video streams of the CCTV Cameras
- Video Wall Management System (and video wall) to display video streams on the video wall
- Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) Control System to control all ANPR equipment and archiving/retrieving recognized license plates
- CCTV Control – CCTV Control will operate as a receiving and recording point for CCTV images that are available to the CCTV matrix for IC3 Centre. Images can be displayed and, where appropriate, passed into the SOMS and CMC at that Centre for viewing at work-stations and/or for display on the video-wall.
- Crisis Management Centre (CMC) – CMC will plan and manage all the pre-planned and spontaneous major events through a defined escalation process to contain and manage a situation or an event through a clearly defined command structure. It will contain integrated tools that merge information in an environment that provides leadership quick and accurate data to evaluate situations.
These services will generate a level of required support that in some cases will be new work but in others will call upon existing support organizations and processes. In particular these existing organizations will include database management, human resources, finance and facilities management. When completed, the new build IC3 Centre will become integral part of the technology infrastructure, allowing seamless access between the IC3 Centre and the wider Punjab Police (PP) and other agencies. The diagram below outlines the operational scope for the IC3 Programme.
- Command and Control System – including Command and Control Incident Management,
- Geographic Information System (GIS), Resource Management System, Integrated Automatic
- Resource Location System (ARLS), and Mobile Data Terminals
- Integrated Video Management System (IVMS) – including System Control and Management, Digital Recording and Archiving, Specific Analysis Tools, Video Walls and Control Systems, and In-Vehicle Video Systems
- Field Equipment – including Strategic Surveillance Locations, Surveillance of Public Places, Surveillance of Intersections, Surveillance of roads, Surveillance of Iconic Buildings Locations, Camera installation and Security and power and connectivity.
- Implementation and Fit-out – including Data Centre fit-out, structured cabling, furniture and desktop as well as system integration and testing.

Triggers' default behavior in Uniface 10
With the release of patch F205 for Uniface 10.2.02, the Uniface 10 compiler has changed to ensure compatibility with Uniface 9 for triggers having default behavior. This blog explains when and how Uniface handles 'empty' triggers and invokes default behavior.
A small subset of the triggers in the Uniface model (*) falls back on default behavior if these triggers do not contain executable code. A typical example is the On Error trigger for a field or entity. If you do not define the trigger, the Uniface run time engine will still invoke default handling for error situations. If the trigger has been defined with executable code, only that code is executed, and the default behavior is suppressed.
(*) see the Uniface documentation, section "Triggers with Default Behavior" for the complete list of applicable triggers.
When does a trigger *not* have executable code and revert to default behavior?
In Uniface 10, default behavior is invoked if any of the following conditions is true:
 - the trigger is not declared at all
 - the trigger declaration contains no executable code
 - the trigger declaration only contains one or more pre-compiler directives that do not result in executable code
 - the trigger is undeclared.
Some examples:
Uniface Trigger
Uniface Trigger
Uniface Trigger
Uniface Trigger
What is the impact of the Uniface Inheritance model, how to restore default behavior?
Behavior defined in code containers is inherited at 'lower' or 'derived' levels. Examples:
 - a modeled entity subtype and its fields inherit from a supertype and its fields
 - a component can inherit from a modeled component (called component template in Uniface 9)
 - an entity or a field in a component's data structure inherits from the modeled entity or field.
Inheritance can take place over multiple levels, but that's beyond the scope of this blog.
In Uniface 10, inheritance of code in containers is module-based. Code is contained in explicitly-declared triggers, entries and operations. If a trigger is declared again on the inheriting level, that definition takes preference and replaces the definition that was inherited from the higher level.
To suppress an inherited trigger in Uniface 10, use any of the options described above: declare an empty trigger, declare a trigger with comment only, or undeclare the trigger on the lower level. An 'empty' trigger or undeclared trigger will fall back on default behavior if that is applicable for that trigger.
The following table shows some examples:
Modeled Field trigger error Component field trigger error Result
not declared not declared Default error handling
trigger error
end
not declared Default error handling
trigger error
if ($error = 0105)
… some code
return -1
endif
not declared User defined error handling
trigger error
if ($error = 0105)
… some code
return -1
endif
trigger error
end
Default error handling
trigger error
if ($error = 0105)
… some code
return -1
endif
undeclare trigger error
end
Default error handling
What has changed since patch F205?
With the solution for Issue # 31689 in patch F205 (Uniface 10.2.02), explicitly-declared triggers that are effectively empty now fall back on default behavior, if that is applicable for that trigger.
Before this patch, an explicitly declared trigger in Uniface 10 without executable code or with comment only would not only break inheritance, but also suppress its default behavior. Prior to F205, the only way to ensure that default behavior was invoked was to not declare the trigger or to undeclare the trigger. In case of inheritance of a trigger from a higher level, the only way to restore default behavior on the lower level was to undeclare the trigger.
What has changed since patch F206?
In patch F206 the automatic migration logic in Uniface 10 was changed to benefit from the modifications in patch F205.
Before patch F206, the migration would attempt to assess whether a trigger container coming from Uniface 9 with potential default behavior contained comment or entry declarations only. If so, the trigger would be commented out or undeclared. This approach was not watertight and had a few disadvantages, like adding code during the migration ('code pollution') and causing additional compiler warnings compared to Uniface 9.
When migrating a Uniface 9.6 or 9.7 export file into Uniface 10 after installing patch F206, all triggers, including those with potential default behavior, are migrated 'as is'.
Patch F205 is compatible with code migrated into a Uniface 10 using a patch prior to F206, i.e. there is no need to redo the migration. However, if you want to benefit from the changes in the migration, you should migrate after installing patch F206 or higher.
Uniface's use of Authenticode
In this blog post I discuss how Uniface uses Authenticode for signing Uniface executables on the Windows platform. A word on the merits of signing your executables. Code signing is nothing more than taking an executable and calculating a checksum, attaching that checksum in a cryptographically secure way to the executable. This way any customer can be assured of the integrity of the code they download from Uniface's download server: it has not been tampered with nor was it altered while in transit. The use of a public-private key certificate from a reputable vendor adds the advantage that you can rest assured the code you downloaded really originated from Uniface.
Designing code signing requires you to take a step back revisiting your existing processes to identify potential issues. Any statements on the integrity of the code can only be satisfied if you manage your code signing keys in a defined way. We have a defined process of managing where keys reside, who has access to them and what people having access can do. Keys reside in a physically secured location, with access being controlled and limited to a small group of people in the company. Only these people can get their hands on the Uniface code signing keys for a limited set of defined purposes. Strict logging is in place so that key usage can be reviewed from audit logs.
The Uniface build factory consists of machines, that take source code from a version control system and run the build scripts to produce signed executables. The code signing is run directly from our makefiles. We use a set of 'internal' certificates when building Uniface. Machines that are part of the Uniface build factory have access to the 'internal' certificate and physical access to the build machine is limited. Only Windows executables that were produced in an official build can thus be signed using this 'internal' certificate. The certificate is only valid within the Uniface development lab. Outside the Uniface development lab a machine with Windows installed would lack the Uniface development lab 'root' certificate, which is needed to build a trust chain required to validate executables signed with the 'internal' certificate. Once we package a Uniface q-patch, patch, service pack or distribution, we also sign these deliverables. This effectively seals the package and protects its contents from unauthorized modifications.
We also timestamp all files, which means all signed files also carry an official counter signature with a timestamp. Should there be an irregularity, forcing us to withdraw our software, we can do this by revoking our certificate. This comes in two flavours: Either we fully revoke a certificate, or we revoke the certificate from a certain cut off timestamp. When the certificate is fully revoked, all files signed with this certificate become invalid and hence cannot be trusted anymore. If the exact moment in time when the irregularity occurred is known, we can revoke the certificate from this moment in time. This results in all files signed after this moment to become invalid. Files signed before this moment in time remain valid.
When we decide that a package is ready for shipping to our customers, we go through a process of re-signing such a package with our 'external' certificate. This is done as part of the publication process. What we do is check every file in the package to see if it was signed using the Uniface 'internal' certificate. If a file was signed with the 'internal' certificate, it is resigned using our 'external' certificate. This 'external' certificate was obtained from a reputable vendor and the public key of the root certificate from that vendor is present in every Windows distribution. Hence using public-private key encryption, your Windows distribution can check that files that we have signed in our Uniface distribution have not been modified since we signed them and that the software is actually from us. So the next time you install Uniface, you can be sure the software is fine.
Uniface 10: What's happened since the release?
Back in September 2016 we had quite a major event, Uniface 10 was released with the ability to develop and maintain all forms of Uniface applications – Client Server, Web and batch.
Uniface 10
Since the release, and based on lots of feedback from the early adopters, we have continued to actively enhance the IDE with constant incremental improvements. In this blog post, I would like to share with you what these improvements are as well as what we have planned for the near future.
To start, it is probably a good idea to give some high-level topics we have been concentrating on.
Migration
This topic has probably been our primary focus during the continuous updating of v10. We have always had a migration path between Uniface versions automating any updates needed.

Chat using ASPs and DB and the Scripting.FileSystemObject
Joco Vieira
In this code let me say that it really works well, but the chat will be slow when you get too many users.
In this code let me say that it really works well, but the chat will be slow when you get too many users.
1. First you must create an DataBase (the place where you will have the messages that will appear)
The structure of my DataBase is only one table :
chatmain(id As Autonumber, data As Date/Time, nick As Text,message As Text)
(ex: table(field1 As type, field2 As type) )
in this example there is no control of the nick names, but its easy, so I think that you will handle it good by yourself
2. I'm using some images , just to make the chat with a good look, nothing but a banner, that you can use for advertising.
3. You will have then to make the code, I use only 3 files, but the chat itself use 4, one of the files is generated by the asp file, so you will learn how to create text files on-line with ASP
FILE: chat.htm
This is the file that controls the frames

<title>Your Chat</title>

<frameset framespacing="0" border="false" frameborder="0" rows="65,58%,*">
 <frame name="top" scrolling="no" noresize target="middle" src="titulo.htm">
 <frame name="middle" target="bottom" src="top.htm" scrolling="auto"> ' top.htm is the file that asp file will generate
 <frame name="bottom" src="bottom.asp" scrolling= "no" noresize> <noframes>
This page uses frames,
but your browser doesn't support them.

</noframes> </frameset>

at this time we have the
main page.... the page were people will have to get in to
access the chat site
FILE: titulo.htm
This file represents the top page of your frames chat, its another easy file that will only have the banner with the link.

<base target="middle">
<title>Your Chat</title>

Now, all we have to do is the more important part, the ASP file that will control all the chat...

FILE: bottom.asp
This file will use some features of ASP that I really like, the Scripting Object that gives you the chance
to create any kind of text file, and the ADO, that we all use to access ODBC DB with the DSN...
Don't be scared with the size of the code, remember that this file will do a lot of work in the Chat.

specifies whether the method succeeded or failed.
A return code of zero indicates success; a nonzero value indicates failure. If you do not supply a return code variable for the method call and the method fails, then an appropriate error message is written to the log.
specifies the name of a hash object.
specifies the name of the second hash object that is compared to the first hash object.
specifies the name of a numeric variable name to hold the result. If the hash objects are equal, the result variable is 1. Otherwise, the result variable is zero.
The following example compares H1 to H2 hash objects:
length eq k 8; declare hash h1(); h1.defineKey('k'); h1.defineDone(); declare hash h2(); h2.defineKey('k'); h2.defineDone(); rc = h1.equals(hash: 'h2', result: eq); if eq then put 'hash objects equal'; else put 'hash objects not equal';
The two hash objects are defined as equal when all of the following conditions occur:
Both hash objects are the same size--that is, the HASHEXP sizes are equal.
Both hash objects have the same number of items--that is, H1.NUM_ITEMS = H2.NUM_ITEMS.
Both hash objects have the same key and data structure.
In an unordered iteration over H1 and H2 hash objects, each successive record from H1 has the same key and data fields as the corresponding record in H2--that is, each record is in the same position in each hash object and each such record is identical to the corresponding record in the other hash object.
In the following example, the first return call to EQUALS returns a nonzero value and the second return call returns a zero value.
data x; length k eq 8; declare hash h1(); h1.defineKey('k'); h1.defineDone(); declare hash h2(); h2.defineKey('k'); h2.defineDone(); k = 99; h1.add(); h2.add(); rc = h1.equals(hash: 'h2', result: eq); put eq=; k = 100; h2.replace(); rc = h1.equals(hash: 'h2', result: eq); put eq=; run;

Mi'kmaq language

The Mi'kmaq language (spelled and pronounced Micmac historically and now often Migmaw or Mikmaw in English, and Míkmaq, Míkmaw or Mìgmao in Mi'kmaq) is an Eastern Algonquian language spoken by nearly 11,000 Mi'kmaq in Canada and the United States out of a total ethnic Mi'kmaq population of roughly 20,000.[3][4] The word Mi'kmaq is a plural word meaning'my friends' (singular Míkm[5]); the adjectival form is Míkmaw.[6] The language's native name is Lnuismk, Míkmawísimk[7] or Míkmwei[5] (in some dialects).
The phonemic inventory of Mi'kmaq is shown below.

The obstruents (/p, t, k, kʷ, t͡ʃ, s, x, xʷ/) are voiceless initially or next to another obstruent, but allophonically voiced [b], [d], [ɡ], [ɡʷ], [d͡ʒ], [z], [ɣ], [ɣʷ] between sonorants (vowels or the voiced consonants /m, n, w, l, j/). Thus Mi'kmaq, phonemically /miːkmax/, is pronounced [miːɡmax].
Mi'kmaq distinguishes not only between long and short vowels, but between long and short consonants, symbolized orthographically in Listuguj by doubling the consonant. Beyond expanding in length, long consonants add a schwa when preceding other consonants. For instance, compare /en.mitk/, written in Listuguj as enmitg ("flow away") with /en.nə.mit/, written in Listuguj as ennmit ("stick into"); or, /tox.tʃu.pi.la.wek/, written in Listuguj as toqju'pilaweg ("hoist"), with /ge.si.gaw.wek/, written in Listuguj as gesigawweg ("loud").
Listuguj orthography occasionally begins words with consonant clusters, such as with gta'n ("ocean") or mgumi ("ice"). However, such clusters are pronounced over separate syllables, with a schwa preceding the cluster: for instance, gta'n is pronounced /ək.ta:n/ while mgumi is pronounced /əm.ku.mi/. On the other hand, word-final clusters, such as in asigetg ("investigate") are pronounced over a single syllable: compare the pronunciation of asigetg, /a.si.getk/, with mest'g ("taste"), /mes.tək/.
Mi'kmaq uses free word order, based on emphasis rather than a traditionally fixed order of subjects, objects and verbs[clarification needed]. For instance, the sentence "I saw a moose standing right there on the hill" could be stated "sapmi'k ala nemaqt'k na tett ti'am kaqamit" (I saw him/there/on the hill/right-there/a moose/he was standing) or "sapmi'k ala ti'am nemaqt'k na tett kaqamit" (I saw him/there/a moose/on the hill/right-there/he was standing); the latter sentence puts emphasis on the moose by placing ti'am (moose) earlier in the utterance. Further complicating matters is the fact that Mi'kmaq, as a polysynthetic language, has verbs which usually contain the sentence's subject and object: for instance, the aforementioned sapmi'k translates to "I saw him".
While it is thus difficult to classify Mi'kmaq under traditional word-order categories such as SVO or SOV, a more fixed aspect in the language comes in the morphology of its verbs. Certain areas of internal morphology of verbs in Mi'kmaq have regular placement: for instance, when the aspect of a verb is included, it appears as the first prefix, while the negative marker always appears directly after the verb root. An example for both of these instances can be seen in the Mi'kmaq verb kisipawnatqa'ti'w (kisi-paw-natq-a'ti-w), translated as "they cannot get out": the prefix kisi marks the verb as being in the completive aspect, whereas the negative marker, w, appears directly after the verb root a'ti ("the two move"). Unfortunately these solidly-placed elements of verbs are paired with markers that can appear throughout the word, depending again on emphasis; animacy in particular can appear fluidly throughout verbs. In short, while a few specific aspects of Mi'kmaq can be predicted, its syntax in general is largely free and dependent on context.
Writing system[edit]
Mi'kmaq-language stop sign in Elsipogtog First Nation
Mi'kmaq is written using a number of Latin alphabets based on ones devised by missionaries in the 19th century. Previously, the language was written in Mi'kmaq hieroglyphic writing, a script of partially native origin. The Francis-Smith orthography used here was developed in 1974, and adopted as the official orthography of the Míkmaq Nation in 1980. It is the most widely used orthography, used by Nova Scotian Mikmaq and by the Míkmaq Grand Council. It is quite similar to the "Lexicon" orthography, differing from it only in its use of the straight apostrophe'or acute accent ' instead of the colon : to mark vowel length. When the Francis-Smith orthography was first developed, the straight apostrophe (often called a "tick") was the designated symbol for vowel length, however due to software applications incorrectly auto-correcting the tick to a curly apostrophe, a secondary means of indicating vowel length was formally accepted: the acute accent. The barred-i ɨ is sometimes replaced by the more common circumflex-i î. In Listuguj orthography, an apostrophe marks long vowels, and the letter g is used instead of the letter k. The 19th-century Pacifique orthography omits w and y, using o and i for these. It also ignores vowel length. The 19th-century orthography of Silas Tertius Rand is also given in the table below; this orthography is more complex than the table suggests, particularly as far as vowel quantity and quality is concerned.

Mi'kmaq uses a decimal numeral system. Every multiple-digit number is formed by using one of the first nine numerals as a prefix or a preceding word, as seen in the number for ten, ne'wtisgaq, a combination of the prefix ne'wt - (derived from newt) and the root isga'q meaning ten (the pattern can be seen in tapuisga'q for 20, nesisga'q for 30, etc.) While 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 all use a single word containing a prefix, the tens between 60 and 90 use the numeral as a preceding word to a separate word meaning ten, te'sisga'q: for instance, 60 is written

text:
A Polje is a large flat-bottomed valley feature of limestone regions formed by prolonged dissolution. The Carron Polje is the largest enclosed depression in Ireland, with an area of approximately 4.5 square kilometres. The "disappearing lake" or Turlough is the most noticeable part of the Polje.
The depression began forming several millions of years ago when overlying shale layers were eroded and rainwater began the slow process of dissolving the underlying limestone. As erosion continued and the depression grew, insoluble components of the limestone accumulated and formed an impermeable layer over the limestone, this prevented further downward dissolution and encouraged the lateral widening of the depression giving us the flat-bottomed feature we see today.
The disappearing lake or Turlough is the most obvious part of the Polje. After significant rainfall the bottom of the valley fills with water to form a lake. The only outlet to drain the water is through a small natural karst fissure in the limestone at the southern margin of the lake. This can get blocked by mud or other debris and drains slowly. If there is no significant rainfall the water will drain and the lake will disappear only to fill again after more rain. During dry periods the lake floor is grazed by cattle.
Despite the relatively high amount of rainfall (>1000mm per year) there is only one small surface river in the Burren. This is because soil is very thin or absent and the limestone has been karstified, so deep fissures carry the surface water underground very quickly. These fissures form a complex network and sometimes form conduits that can transport water long distances very quickly. The water that flows underground from the end of the Carron Tulough is known to emerge 6km to the south near Kilnaboy. This makes the Burrren particularly vulnerable to water pollution.

 Understanding MidiBridge
This is a guide aimed at providing some understanding about MidiBridge (and CoreMIDI) and how to use that knowledge to your advantage to interconnect apps, hardware and network sessions. Once the basics are covered, some step-by-step recipes for connecting up less obvious situations are provided.
Don't forget to turn on the 'Run in Background' option in the MidiBridge Preferences panel. This is off by default (and purposefully as we want the user to consciously be aware that they are allowing MidiBridge to keep on runnin' in the background)
The above applies to MidiBridge 1.3 and earlier. As of version 1.4, background processing is on by default (with a 15 minute idle timeout). The idle timeout value can be changed in the Options tab of the Preferences page. Setting it to 0 minutes turns backgrounding off completely.
First a little about CoreMIDI - port advertising
When an app runs it can register virtual ports in CoreMIDI that can be seen by other apps and on which other apps can send or receive events. There are two types of virtual ports (also known as endpoints) - sources and destinations. An app doesn't have to advertise its own virtual ports. It may choose to use the virtual ports of other apps instead. Here's something to remember:
Just because an app doesn't advertise any ports of its own doesn't mean that it can't be controlled via MidiBridge!
It just won't show up in:
The Interface Tab - Sources to the left of you, destinations to the right
This is the main tab in MidiBridge and from where you create connections between sources (inputs) and destinations (outputs). These ports are usually (but not always) in pairs and are one of the following type:
 - A physical device port, like Midi Mobilizer I, SynthStation25...
 - A CoreMIDI physical device port, like Midi Mobilizer II, iRig MIDI...
 - The CoreMIDI network port (send/receive over wifi)
 - MidiBridge's own virtual input/output ports that it advertises
 - Virtual input/output ports advertised by other apps
MidiBridge can route events from any of these types to any other type, but the routing must be between a source and a destination from MidiBridge's point of view.
To connect source A to destinations B and C, you touch input/source port A on the left and then touch B and C on the right and green lines will be drawn between them to show they are connected. Touch port A again to tell MidiBridge you're done interconnecting to that port.
Here's a screenshot of MidiBridge with just about every type of port, connection and option set:
The above screenshot shows the following:
 - A CoreMIDI network session is active (CoreMIDI Net in is yellow and the badge '1' on the Interfaces tab button is shown)
 - Arctic Keys is up and running (Arctic Keys virtual ports shown)
 - Midi Mobilizer I is present and a filter on its input is active (Midi Mobilizer ports shown and 'On' badge over filter button displayed on input port)
 - MidiBridge's own virtual ports have been created and any events received from another app on the port MidiBridge will be passed to MidiBridge's own output (that other apps could be listening to) and the Midi Mobilizer's output. (Green lines going from MidiBridge to MidiBridge & Midi Mobilizer)
 - Both MidiBridge and Arctic Keys ports are virtual ports (V-Cable symbol in port)
 - Events received from the Midi Mobilizer's input will be sent to Arctic Keys and the Network session. (Grey lines running from Midi Mobilizer in to CoreMIDI net out and Arctic Keys out - they're grey, because currently the MidiBridge input port is selected for connection)
 - You can fast switch straight to Arctic Keys by double tapping either its input or output port (Green double arrow in port)
 - The Fast-switchable Applications Panel (As of version 1.4, this panel has been renamed from 'Compatible Applications') tells you that both Arctic Keys and MidiVision are installed on this device, but Loopy, NLog and ThumbJam are not (can't afford them). Touching Arctic Keys on the App Panel will fast-switch to Arctic Keys (since we know that is running). Touching MidiVision on the App Panel will launch MidiVision (not currently running, but installed). Touching any of the other apps in the App Panel (the unticked ones) will redirect you to the App Store to see if this app is of any interest to you. IMPORTANT: The Fast-switchable Applications panel is for fast-switching compatibility only. It is not an indicator of an app's MIDI connectivity.
 - The App Panel can be dragged around the screen using the top bar of the panel. It can be dismissed by either pressing the 'X' at the top of the panel or touching the 'Applications' tab that has a badge marked 'X'.
To summarise:
An input from MidiBridge's view is a source of MIDI events from other apps, physical devices or the CoreMIDI network.
An output from MidiBridge's view is a destination that MIDI events can be sent to and can be other apps, physical interfaces or the CoreMIDI network.
Connecting different kinds of apps
Apps can either generate MIDI events, receive MIDI events or do both.
Apps fall into one or more of the following categories:
 1. The app advertises its own virtual destination and accepts input from it. Examples: Animoog and Sunrizer.
 2. The app advertises its own virtual source and writes events to it. Examples: Genome
 3. The app doesn't advertise anything, but will read from all sources in the system, Example: Gadget, GarageBand
 4. The app doesn't advertise anything, but will write to all destinations in the system. Example: SoundPrism Pro
 5. The app only supports CoreMIDI networking (don't know of a current example, but early versions of Genome were like this and possibly NanoStudio)
 6. The app advertises both a source and destination and reads/writes to those. Examples: Arctic Keys, NLog
Categories 1,2 and 6 are easy. You just connect your desired source/destination to the app's virtual port in MidiBridge and away you go. You may need to tweak something in the other app to tell it you want it to accept/send MIDI on its virtual ports (and tell it to continue working in the background).
Category 3 apps will not show up as a separate port in MidiBridge, but will read from MidiBridge's virtual output. To control these types of apps, just connect your desired source to the MidiBridge destination.
Category 4 apps are the reverse of category 3. They don't show up in MidiBridge but to use them as sources, you connect MidiBridge's virtual source(input) to the destination you want the events to go to.
Finally, category 5 apps require a little trick to make them work. In MidiBridge prefs, enter the word 'localhost' (without quotes) in the CoreMIDI Network Destination field and press the Connect button. You can also choose 'Connect Automatically' to re-start the connection when MidiBridge launches. Essentially you are hi-jacking the CoreMIDI network to run like a virtual port. To send events to the app that supports CoreMIDI network, you connect a source to the CoreMIDI net destination. Vice-versa for receiving events into MidiBridge from a category 5 app.
Application start/connect order
Now you know how to interconnect different types of apps, what about the order in which you launch the apps? It all depends upon when each app refreshes its view of the CoreMIDI world.
MidiBridge for example refreshes its view when it starts, when it is returned from the background, when a physical device is connected/removed, when a virtual port appears/disappears and when a CoreMIDI network session starts/stops. Basically all the time. What's more is that it will automatically re-establish any prior connections that you had set for that port. So far, so good.
Other apps may not refresh their view so much (some just at launch or need the user to manually refresh), so these are the rules of thumb when setting up your connections:
 1. Launch MidiBridge first, so that its virtual ports are available if need be.
 2. Launch category 3 apps (SampleTank, Sunrizer XS) so that they add MidiBridge's virtual destination to the list of ports they'll receive events on.
 3. Launch category 4 apps (SoundPrism Pro) so that they add MidiBridge's virtual source to the list of ports they'll send events to.
 4. Launch any other apps that advertise their own inputs or outputs.
 5. Return to MidiBridge and make the connections (if you need to)
Unfortunately the world isn't perfect and sometimes even these rules are not enough. If it doesn't work, you may need to switch to certain apps as well to re-invogorate their engines. It's not exact and some trial and error may be involved.
Giving NanoStudio a virtual input
Sorry, as of Nanostudio 1.33, this trick no longer works. We have been in touch with Blip Interactive and hopefully will be able to work something out.
With a little trickery it is possible to use MidiBridge to give NanoStudio a virtual input so that it can be fed MIDI events from

You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. It is recommended to run this tutorial on a cluster with at least two nodes that are not acting as control plane hosts. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using minikube or you can use one of these Kubernetes playgrounds:
Limitations
 - Node Problem Detector only supports file based kernel log. Log tools such as journald are not supported.
 - Node Problem Detector uses the kernel log format for reporting kernel issues. To learn how to extend the kernel log format, see Add support for another log format.
Enabling Node Problem Detector
Some cloud providers enable Node Problem Detector as an Addon. You can also enable Node Problem Detector with kubectl or by creating an Addon pod.
Using kubectl to enable Node Problem Detector
kubectl provides the most flexible management of Node Problem Detector. You can overwrite the default configuration to fit it into your environment or to detect customized node problems. For example:
 1. Create a Node Problem Detector configuration similar to node-problem-detector.yaml:
 apiVersion: apps/v1
 kind: DaemonSet
 metadata:
 name: node-problem-detector-v0.1
 namespace: kube-system
 labels:
 k8s-app: node-problem-detector
 version: v0.1
 _URL_-service: "true"
 spec:
 selector:
 matchLabels:
 k8s-app: node-problem-detector
 version: v0.1
 _URL_-service: "true"
 template:
 metadata:
 labels:
 k8s-app: node-problem-detector
 version: v0.1
 _URL_-service: "true"
 spec:
 hostNetwork: true
 containers:
 - name: node-problem-detector
 image: _URL_-detector:v0.1
 securityContext:
 privileged: true
 resources:
 limits:
 cpu: "200m"
 memory: "100Mi"
 requests:
 cpu: "20m"
 memory: "20Mi"
 volumeMounts:
 - name: log
 mountPath: /log
 readOnly: true
 volumes:
 - name: log
 hostPath:
 path: /var/log/
 2. Start node problem detector with kubectl:
 kubectl apply -f _URL_

Using an Addon pod to enable Node Problem Detector
If you are using a custom cluster bootstrap solution and don't need to overwrite the default configuration, you can leverage the Addon pod to further automate the deployment.
Create node-problem-detector.yaml, and save the configuration in the Addon pod's directory /etc/kubernetes/addons/node-problem-detector on a control plane node.
Overwrite the configuration
The default configuration is embedded when building the Docker image of Node Problem Detector.
However, you can use a ConfigMap to overwrite the configuration:
 1. Change the configuration files in config/
 2. Create the ConfigMap node-problem-detector-config:
 kubectl create configmap node-problem-detector-config --from-file=config/

 3. Change the node-problem-detector.yaml to use the ConfigMap:
 apiVersion: apps/v1
 kind: DaemonSet
 metadata:
 name: node-problem-detector-v0.1
 namespace: kube-system
 labels:
 k8s-app: node-problem-detector
 version: v0.1
 _URL_-service: "true"
 spec:
 selector:
 matchLabels:
 k8s-app: node-problem-detector
 version: v0.1
 _URL_-service: "true"
 template:
 metadata:
 labels:
 k8s-app: node-problem-detector
 version: v0.1
 _URL_-service: "true"
 spec:
 hostNetwork: true
 containers:
 - name: node-problem-detector
 image: _URL_-detector:v0.1
 securityContext:
 privileged: true
 resources:
 limits:
 cpu: "200m"
 memory: "100Mi"
 requests:
 cpu: "20m"
 memory: "20Mi"
 volumeMounts:
 - name: log
 mountPath: /log
 readOnly: true
 - name: config # Overwrite the config/ directory with ConfigMap volume
 mountPath: /config
 readOnly: true
 volumes:
 - name: log
 hostPath:
 path: /var/log/
 - name: config # Define ConfigMap volume
 configMap:
 name: node-problem-detector-config
 4. Recreate the Node Problem Detector with the new configuration file:
 # If you have a node-problem-detector running, delete before recreating
 kubectl delete -f _URL_
 kubectl apply -f _URL_

Overwriting a configuration is not supported if a Node Problem Detector runs as a cluster Addon. The Addon manager does not support ConfigMap.
Kernel Monitor
Kernel Monitor is a system log monitor daemon supported in the Node Problem Detector. Kernel monitor watches the kernel log and detects known kernel issues following predefined rules.
The Kernel Monitor matches kernel issues according to a set of predefined rule list in config/kernel-monitor.json. The rule list is extensible. You can expand the rule list by overwriting the configuration.
Add new NodeConditions
To support a new NodeCondition, create a condition definition within the conditions field in config/kernel-monitor.json, for example:
{
 "type": "NodeConditionType",
 "reason": "CamelCaseDefaultNodeConditionReason",
 "message": "arbitrary default node condition message"
}
Detect new problems
To detect new problems, you can extend the rules field in config/kernel-monitor.json with a new rule definition:
{
 "type": "temporary/permanent",
 "condition": "NodeConditionOfPermanentIssue",
 "reason": "CamelCaseShortReason",
 "message": "regexp matching the issue in the kernel log"
}
Configure path for the kernel log device
Check your kernel log path location in your operating system (OS) distribution. The Linux kernel log device is usually presented as /dev/kmsg. However, the log path location varies by OS distribution. The log field in config/kernel-monitor.json represents the log path inside the container. You can configure the log field to match the device path as seen by the Node Problem Detector.
Add support for another log format
Kernel monitor uses the Translator plugin to translate the internal data structure of the kernel log. You can implement a new translator for a new log format.
Recommendations and restrictions
It is recommended to run the Node Problem Detector in your cluster to monitor node health. When running the Node Problem Detector, you can expect extra resource overhead on each node. Usually this is fine, because:
 - The kernel log grows relatively slowly.
 - A resource limit is set for the Node Problem Detector.
 - Even under high load, the resource usage is acceptable. For more information, see the Node Problem Detector benchmark result.

text: In this paper a digital invisible image watermarking technique is proposed based on the numerical simulation of optical Double Random Phase Encoding (DRPE). This technique utilizes the capability of the DRPE to spread the energy of the input information in both the space and the spatial frequency domains using two diffusers. The watermark is in the form of a digital barcode image which is numerically encrypted using a simulation of the optical DRPE process. This produces a random complex image, which is then processed to form a real valued random image with a low number of quantization levels. This signal is added to the host image. Extraction of the barcode, involves applying an inverse DRPE process to the watermarked image followed by a low pass filter. The results presented indicate the feasibility and robustness of the proposed method and it is demonstrated that even when using very few quantization levels, i.e. 2-levels, the watermark can still be extracted with very small errors.

Launching the project Lets Mobilise His Church" in Spanish
By Chris Conti | OCLA in South America
The 335-page mobilisation manual, based on interviews from 300 Latin American pastors, missionaries, and mobilisers, is at the printers!
Conferences start in March that will train leaders and mobilisers in how to walk alongside the church in mobilisation and how to use the new Spanish resources. The "Let's Mobilise His Church" project includes a website with 1500 free digital resources, a mobilisation manual and conferences to train mobilisers, pastors and leaders.
Mobilisation is not just about sending missionaries, but also about encouraging all the people of God to participate in the mission of God.
True discipleship leads to mobilisation, as mature believers see their role in evangelization at the local level, being salt and light where God has placed them and through giving and praying for global missions.
The "Let's Mobilise His Church" project first encourages everyone to study a mission course and offers recommendations of basic and more advanced courses. Then, building on the biblical foundation, the mobilisation materials help each Christian with practical ways to be involved and to involve others.
The manual features 12 chapters on how to mobilise 12 specific groups in a church: children, youth, women, men, retirees, professionals, businessmen, etc. It offers strategies to guide each person in the church to daily be part of God's mission, with chapters on prayer, finances, pastoral care, discipleship, etc. The chapters on partnering, mission agencies, selecting and sending missionaries, and planning short term mission trips will help churches understand the process of sending well.
One chapter, called, "Pastors ARE mobilisers" offers first-hand testimonies from pastors to encourage other pastors to be missional. Another chapter on mobilising pastors will help mobilisers understand how to show respect for their leaders as they encourage mission involvement.
The lists of ideas, testimonies, devotionals, and great tips will give mobilisers encouragement and training to mobilize better.
Pray for a good launch of this new project: Let's Mobilise His Church!
What about other languages?
It's projected to be available in English, and then later in French, especially for African churches.
The mission resources will be customized and contextualized, not translations. The material will be created from direct input from those who will use the material. We hope to start collecting materials and interviews from Africa soon.

What do killer whales represent?
The orca is a symbol often centered around luck, compassion and family. Orcas are known to some Indigenous communities as the guardians of the sea. To some people, orcas represent the strength of love and the bonds of family because of their strong group behaviour.
What does a whale tail tattoo mean?
The whale tattoo reminds you to grab hold the whale and let it carry you into positive energy. Many say that it is a blessing and symbol of good luck to see a whale swimming. They are even looked at as a "perfect creature" for those civilizations who make their hope on the sea.
What does a shark tattoo symbolize?
The shark as symbol, therefore, is one of warning and peril. People who use these shark tattoo meanings are saying that they could snap at any moment if provoked. The meaning also could be that the owner of the tattoo does not like when other people invade their space.
What does orca mean spiritually?
The Native Orca Symbol or Killer Whale symbolizes family, romance, longevity, harmony, travel, community and protection. He is said to protect those who travel away from home, and to lead them back when the time comes. Orcas will often stay their whole life with the same pod and raise each calf with care.
What is the spiritual meaning of a tiger?
Tiger symbolism and meanings include strength, cunning, majesty, independence, and immortality. In addition, the tiger spirit animal is an important figure in the spiritual beliefs of locals from these areas and other people around the world.
What does a bumble bee tattoo mean?
You can think of bumblebees as the heavyweights of the bee family. Their plump bodies and deep buzz are instantly recognizable. A bumblebee tattoo represents order, duty, and positivity.
What does a whale symbolize?
Whale Meanings, Symbolism & The Whale Spirit Animal. Whale meanings and symbolism include magnificence, communication, music, protection, gratitude, wisdom, transformation, and psychic abilities. There are 90 species of whales (who are also called cetaceans) and they live in every ocean.
Why do people get tattoos of killer whales?
The killer whale tattoo, also known as the orca whale tattoo, is a group of tattoo designs that people get both because they love the look of the whale and because there are so many great meanings attached to this humongous mammal.
How did the killer whale get its name?
The killer whale is primarily distinguished from the rest of the whales through its characteristic colors, black and white and it is actually the largest member of the dolphin family. The name of the killer whale comes from its strong jaws and its long and sharp teeth.
Why are killer whales considered to be apex predators?
Unlike dolphins, the Orca has no natural predators, being considered as an Apex predator. Hunting in groups and using different strategies, orcas are considered very intelligent animals. They travel together and are very protective, particularly with their babies, being symbols of family and protection.

Find me and follow me are two call forwarding services that are commonly used in conjunction with each other. Find me service allows the user to receive calls at any location; follow me service allows the user to be reached at any of several phone numbers.
Find me / follow me is often used in IP telephony. In some systems, the user is assigned a virtual phone number. When that number is dialed the system routes the call through a user-defined list of numbers. The numbers may be called simultaneously or sequentially, either in a preferred order or in accordance with the user's scheduled activities and locations. Once the list has been called and no connection made, the system may route the call to voice mail.

Modelling fuel consumption and pollutant emissions based on real-world driving patterns: the HBEFA approach
Emissions of passenger cars and light-duty vehicles with complex exhaust gas after-treatment are difficult to predict, especially if the prediction is only based on kinematic parameters without vehicle-specific data. A new method for modelling fleet emission factors based on testbench data is presented. It has been used for modern passenger cars and light-duty vehicles (EURO-2 and -3) in the new version 2.1 of the German-Austrian-Swiss Handbook Emission Factors for Road Transport (HBEFA). The new method, not relying on vehicle-specific data, avoids decomposing the measured real-world driving behaviour and all associated uncertainties. Emission factors can be predicted for any given driving pattern which is characterised through kinematic parameters or representative time series of vehicle speed. The methodology determines the linear combination of measured driving patterns that is most representative for the driving pattern whose emissions are to be predicted. The approach is illustrated using testbench real-world measurements of 44 passenger cars of technology stages EURO-2 and -3.

Don't risk your American future
If you were physically in the U.S. in J status anytime between January 1 - December 31, 2021 you're obligated to send at least one form, Form 8843, to the U.S. tax agency IRS (Internal Revenue Service), even if you had no income. Au Pairs are required by law to file federal and state individual, nonresident tax returns and
, in most situations, pay taxes for the stipend (wages) earnings during a calendar year. Depending on the individual circumstances, you may also need to file a state tax return(s). Taxes are required for all Au Pairs in the U.S. and failure to pay taxes may having the following negative consequences
- Risks to future visa applications for future travel back to the U.S.
- Risks in applying for a different U.S. visa type
- Risks in applying for green card or citizenship status
- Fines or penalties
Filing taxes can be complex and even U.S. citizens struggle to understand taxes, but taxes are required for your program participation and are part of the American cultural experience. Taxes support the national and state services you use during your time in the U.S. How Au Pair Taxes in America Work
Income taxes occur on the federal (nationwide) level and at the state level to support federal and state services and facilities respectively. The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is the federal government agency responsible for collecting federal taxes. Although Au Pairs are defined as a family member for the cultural exchange program, the IRS considers Au Pairs
to be an "employee" of the Host Family and the stipend is classified as "wages". Therefore, the IRS determines stipend earnings as subject to income taxes.
"Tax season" runs from January 1 to April 15 every year. During this time everyone in America reconciles their taxes owed to the federal and state governments based on earnings from the previous calendar year. Taxes are always due by April 15th (unless April 15th falls on a weekend or a government holiday). Au Pairs typically owe money to the federal government for income tax (about 10-12% of what was earned) because taxes are not withheld from stipend payments as part of the Au Pair program.
|2021 Tax Season Deadline|
|April 18, 2022|
Au Pairs who have lived in the U.S. for more than 2 years (including previous visa programs and COVID exceptional extensions) should take the free Substantial Presence Test
to determine residency status for tax purposes and may file taxes differently than other Au Pairs. Most Au Pairs are considered non-residents for tax purposes ad filing taxes as a resident or a nonresident is a huge difference. Be sure you understand which is appropriate for you (Sprintax can help!). If the Substantial Presence Test results in filing taxes as a resident, Sprintax refers Au Pairs to TurboTax for next steps.
In addition to federal taxes Au Pairs may owe state income taxes. The amount of state taxes depends on the state where you lived and "worked" and could be nothing. Click here
to learn more for your state.
Because Au Pairs live in the home with Host Families they are not subject to tax withholding reported on Form 941 and W-2. Nor are Au Pairs subject to Social Security or Medicare (FICA) taxes. As nonresidents, Au Pairs are not eligible for Earned Income Tax Credit, the Hope Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit.

.The Basic Tax Process
Step 1: Gather documentation. You need:
- Visa / Immigration information including Form DS-2019
- Social security number. If you do not have a social security number you can apply for one with the Social Security Administration.
- Evidence of stipend payments
- U.S. entry and exit dates for current and past visits to the U.S. (reference passport stamps and I-94 travel history)
Step 2: Calculate stipend payments ("wages") for the tax year using the following:
- Completed Hours, Stipend, Vacation & Education Log
- Bank account statements
- Calculate how much earned based on weeks in the U.S.
- Preserve your logs and documents on stipend, you will need them if you are ever audited by the IRS
Step 3: File Form 8843
- Completing the form should take about 5 minutes and is required for every J-1 visa holder regardless of earned income, filing a tax return and/or owing money in taxes.
- Learn more about Form 8843 from Sprintax.
- Sprintax will generate a completed Form 8843 for you if you user their services.
Step 4: File Form 1040NR
with the IRS.
- You can file electronically (e-File), or
- Through the mail (don't forget to sign your form and send certified mail with a tracking number)
- (we recommend working with Sprintax!)
Step 5: Send payment to the IRS.
- You can pay electronically with a debit or credit card when you e-File, or
- Through the mail by sending a check.
Step 6: File and pay (if required) your State Income Taxes.
Who Can Help You
- This process varies by state and for every state an Au Pair lived in (i.e. transitions, extension-transfers, Host Family moving).
- Sprintax can inform you if you need to complete a state tax return
- State forms are typically printed, signed and mailed and include check payment, if applicable.
You are ultimately responsible for paying your own taxes. Taxes are important and complex and many Americans work with tax professionals to file and pay federal and state taxes. Go Au Pair strongly encourages you to work with a licensed tax professional such as Sprintax to e-File your federal taxes and receive assistance with your state tax return. Sprintax charges a small fee
for their federal and state tax services.

William Beveridge (_PHONE_) was a British social administrator who is widely considered one of the principal founders of the British welfare state. He chaired a major government committee during World War II with responsibility for planning the reorganization of government social programs. Their report (subsequently known as the Beveridge Report) was the basis for a massive expansion of British social services following the war and earned its chairman an international reputation as a founder of the welfare state. [1]
Beveridge abandoned legal studies at Oxford University to move into Toynbee Hall the pioneering settlement house in the East End of London which also served as inspiration for Jane Addams in the founding of Hull House in Chicago.

FAQ What is the difference between perspectives and activities? - Revision history _URL_ Revision history for this page on the wiki en MediaWiki 1.23.2 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 04:10:41 GMT Claffra at 20:27, 14 March 2006 _URL_ _URL_ New page'' At first glance, perspectives and activities are very similar. Both modify the appearance of the workbench, adding and removing menus and toolbar buttons, depending on a course-grained user task. When trying to figure out how to carve up a large product into usable pieces, it is sometimes difficult to figure out when to use activities, perspectives, or both. Apart from the prosaic difference that perspectives were an Eclipse 1.0 invention and activities are new in Eclipse 3.0, a number of other subtle differences exist. The most obvious difference between activities and perspectives is that activities are not intended to alter the layout of views and editors that are currently open. Activities change the menus and toolbars but don’t make real estate changes that can cause the user to lose context. Perspectives have a dual role of dictating screen layout and altering the menus and toolbars. This connection is often not obvious to users, and they are often confused about why a certain menu or keyboard shortcut appears in one place but not another. Second, activities are intended to be largely implicit. Whereas perspectives are explicitly visible and controlled entirely by the user, activities are not directly user controlled. Essentially, activities try to have some smarts about when they are needed and activate and deactivate accordingly, depending on what the user is doing. Although perspectives do this to a certain extent, such as switching to the Debug perspective automatically when an application is launched in debug mode, automatically changing the user interface layout is a general user interface no-no. Because activities are not tied to a particular screen layout, they can change automatically without causing the user to lose context. Finally, perspectives are partially defined programmatically, whereas activities are defined entirely declaratively. The importance of this difference is that activities are not intended to be defined by programmers who are working on individual plug-ins. Because the designer of a single plug-in cannot envision the emergent behavior of a system built of hundreds of plug-ins—or at least not without violating the modular principles of the plug-in architecture—he or she has no way of knowing what set of activities might be appropriate. Activities are a form of meta-glue that regulate how plug-ins interact and so must be defined at a higher level. Typically, activities will be created by a system configurer or human-computer interaction (HCI) expert who has a better picture of the total functionality of the product.

An aircraft whose airspeed is vnot has to fly from town O (at
the origin) to town P, which is a distance D due east. There is a
steady gentle wind shear, such that vwind =Vyxhat, where x and y
are measured east and north respectively. Find the path y=y(x),
which the plane should follow to minimize flight time, as
(a) Find the plane's ground speed in terms of vnot, V, phi (the angle by which the plane heads to the north of east), and the plane's position.
(b) Qrite down the time of flight as an integral of the form. Show that if we assume that yprime and phi both remain small (as is certainly reasonable it the wind speed is not too large), then the integrand f takes the approximate form (1+1/2yprimesquaredd)/1+ky) (times an unintersting constant) where k=V/vnot.
(c) Write down the Euler-Lagrange equation that determines the best path. How far north does this path take the plane, if D=2000 miles, vnot=500mph, and the wind shear is V=.5 mph/mi? How much time does the plane save by following this path?

Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is reviewing public feedback on proposed rule changes that could outlaw ice fishing of Brook Trout and Lake Trout on some County lakes.
The ministry posted a new draft management plan for Fisheries Management Zone (FMZ) 15, which encompasses the Highlands region, to its website last September. The legislation, if passed, would prohibit ice fishing on water bodies considered to have low natural trout populations.
FMZ 15 also covers bodies of water in Bancroft, Parry Sound, Pembroke, and parts of Peterborough and North Bay.
In a recent email to The Highlander, MNRF spokesperson Sarah Figueiredo said a plan will be finalized "in the coming months." She noted the earliest date any new regulations would come into effect is Jan. 1, 2025.
The province collected feedback from the public in October and November of 2022. Then, officials said, "the anticipated environmental and social consequences of this proposal are positive," and that, "the approaches presented aim to balance the ecological and socioeconomic objectives of the region."
MNRF, in its plan, says the zone is experiencing high pressure from a wide group of users, including commercial and tourist operators, resident and non-resident anglers, and Indigenous subsidence fishers. Ministry spokesperson Anita Tamrazi told The Highlander last year that the changes are being proposed to protect natural Coldwater fish populations, which, she says, have declined in recent years.
The current Brook Trout fishing seasons, which runs from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, was deemed "excessively liberal" by the MNRF, which wants to cut it in half. The new proposed season for at-risk lakes is the fourth Saturday in April to Sept. 30.
For Lake Trout, the ministry is proposing from the third Saturday in May until Labour Day for all lakes less than 500 hectares in size. Larger lakes will get a one-month season as per the changes, from the Saturday before Family Day to the third Sunday in March, with only one line to be used when angling through the ice.
Fishing on lakes considered to be fully stocked will be permitted, though the MNRF has not released a list of fully stocked lakes, nor outlined what they consider to be a fully stocked lake.
