I'm working on Windows 7 and I have installed Strawberry. I would like to run a perl skript (test.pl):
open OUTPUT, ">test.txt";
print OUTPUT "This is a test\n";
by just clicking on the file or redirect with left mouse click to Perl-program (open with/perl.exe). When I do this a console opens for less than a second and disappears but the file test.txt is not created. If I go to the MS command and enter
> C:\myplace>perl test.pl
it works. I never had this experience before (WinXP, other Windows 7 PC with ActivePerl and Windows 8 with strawberry). I would be very happy if somebody could give me a hint how to solve this problem.

There are two problems here:
 1. Creating the file where you want it. When double-clicking a perl script to launch it, it is not executed in the context of the folder you have opened in Explorer. If you want to specify an explicit context, do the following near the top of your script:
 use FindBin; # This is a module that finds the location of your script
 BEGIN { chdir $FindBin::Bin } # set context to that directory.
 When you then create a new file without an aboslute path, the path is considered relative to that directory.
 You do not have the problem when running the script from the command line, because you have specified the correct path. But if you run it from C:\ like
 C:\> perl myplace/test.pl
 then you have created the file in C\test.txt. The FindBin solution fixes this.
 2. When running a script by double-clicking it, the command line exits before you can inspect the output. This "problem" is shared by all programming languages on Windows. You can force the window to stay open by waiting for some input. You can either do
 system("PAUSE"); # not portable to non-Windows!
 warn "Press enter to exit...\n";
 ; # Read a line from the command line and discard it.
 # Feels akward when launching from the command line
 to wait until an Enter ⏎ is pressed.
 The other solution is to always use the command line for your scripts, which is what I'd actually suggest.

Thanks for the answer. I didn't know about FindBin. Very useful. But why this simple test-code above works on all various computers and OS but in one it does not behave in this way? I just wonder... – giordano Sep 3 '13 at 20:03
Check what is your script executing folder, as it might differ from C:\myplace
use Cwd;
print getcwd();
sleep 7;
share|improve this answer
Thanks for answer. Yes, it differs (C:\strawberry\perl\bin). But is this a problem? The environment variable is included. Usually, I never had such kind of problems. – giordano Sep 2 '13 at 15:13
_USER_ to be sure, you can try absolute path when writing, ie. open OUTPUT, ">", 'C:\myplace\test.txt'; – Сухой27 Sep 2 '13 at 15:19

Donor-Advised Funds: Save on Taxes and Make a Difference
For individuals who seek to save on their taxes while still being charitable and making a difference in their communities, donor-advised funds (DAFs) are a strong possibility to consider.
Understanding donor-advised funds
Simply put, a DAF is a charitable investment account. DAF accounts can be funded with liquid and/or illiquid assets such as cash, publicly traded securities, patents/royalties, C-corp stock or even artwork and life insurance policies. Once made, the donor contribution is irrevocable. In other words, the donor is no longer the legal title holder of the assets transferred into the account.
 - What are some notable advantages of donor-advised funds?
 - The donor receives an immediate charitable contribution deduction for the fair market value of the assets transferred into the account, the deductibility of which depends on the nature of the assets transferred and the taxpayer's specific tax situation.
 - The donor can grow their account by making additional contributions, and they can choose from a variety of investment options, including alternative investments, to grow their donation tax-free.
 - When a DAF is funded with appreciated illiquid assets, such as stock market securities, the account administrator is responsible for cashing out enough of the assets to fund the donor's charitable giving directives. Since the donor is no longer the legal title holder of the assets, the gain on the sale of the assets is not taxable to the taxpayer, allowing the charitable giving to go farther.
 - The donor retains the ability to recommend donations to IRS-approved 501(c)(3) organizations. They also control the frequency and the amounts of the charitable disbursements.
 - The account administrator is responsible for mailing checks to charities, keeping track of charitable giving, account values and earnings, and compiling annual donation reports. This eases the administrative burden on the donor.
 - Unlike private foundations, DAFs do not have reporting/compliance requirements at the account level and do not pay excise taxes on their investment income. Again, this eases the administrative burden.
 - Donors have the ability to create a legacy and extend their philanthropy beyond their lifetime by naming successors and beneficiaries to their account.
 - DAFs typically incur administrative/management fees in the vicinity of one percent of the fair market value of the assets held in the account.
To summarize, if you're looking to apply your assets toward charitable causes you hold dear, and do so in ways that are advantageous from a tax standpoint, DAFs are a tactic you should consider.

Ain't it true that while counting the moves for 1 tile can lead to other tiles getting to their goal state? And hence counting for each tile can give us a count more than the minimum moves required to reach the goal state?
This question is in context of Manhattan distance for 15-Puzzle.
Here is the Question in different words:
Can we use Manhattan distance as an admissible heuristic for N-Puzzle. To implement A* search we need an admissible heuristic. Is Manhattan heuristic a candidate? If yes, how do you counter the above argument (the first 3 sentences in the question)?
Definitions: A* is a kind of search algorithm. It uses a heuristic function to determine the estimated distance to the goal. As long as this heuristic function never overestimates the distance to the goal, the algorithm will find the shortest path, probably faster than breadth-first search would. A heuristic that satisfies that condition is admissible.
share|improve this question
Can you give some more background on what the problem is? Depending on the problem, Manhattan distance could either be perfectly admissible or entirely inadmissible. – templatetypedef Dec 31 '10 at 18:05
Manhattan Distance is a metric for distance or work, not a class of problems. DESCRIBE the PROBLEM. – San Jacinto Dec 31 '10 at 18:12
_USER_ The problem is this – belisarius has settled Dec 31 '10 at 18:15
_USER_: An "admissible heuristic" in A* search is an estimate of how close you are to your goal that never overstates the distance. That guarantees finding the shortest (or least-cost) path. This is a real question, although one requiring the knowledge of some specific terminology, and should be re-opened. – David Thornley Jan 20 '11 at 15:31
_USER_: it is now reopened, and also retagged so that it has tags that put it where people who have the requisite knowledge can find it. To someone who has the requisite knowledge, the question was mostly clear to begin with, though a link to Wikipedia for the 15 puzzle (or a description of it) would have been a good idea to start with. – Ken Bloom Jan 21 '11 at 16:03

Admissable heuristics must not overestimate the number of moves to solve this problem. Since you can only move the blocks 1 at a time and in only one of 4 directions, the optimal scenario for each block is that it has a clear, unobstructed path to its goal state. This is a M.D. of 1.
The rest of the states for a pair of blocks is sub-optimal, meaning it will take more moves than the M.D. to get the block in the right place. Thus, the heuristic never over-estimate and is admissible.
I will delete when someone posts a correct, formal version of this.

I got it! I am sorry for being not so clear. This happened may be because I had not given enough thought to the doubt I was facing – Akhil Dec 31 '10 at 18:28
Formal Proof: By definition of h, h(s∗) = 0, if s∗ is the goal state. Assume for proof by contradiction that C∗ < h(s0) for some initial state s0. Note that, since each action can move only one tile, performing an action can at most reduce h by one. Since the goal can be reached in C∗ actions, we have h(s∗) ≥ h(s0) − C∗ > 0, which brings us to a contradiction since h(s∗) should be zero. Therefore, we must have h(s0) ≤ C∗ forall s0, and h is admissible. (Source: University of California, Irvine)

Knowing the quality assurance (QA) benchmarks for Realtime (RT) data improves your experience with Google Transit. Meeting these benchmarks helps you serve high-quality transit information, which creates positive user experiences.
Essential quality metrics
To help maintain reliable Transit information for Google Transit users, there are 3 key quality metrics for RT data:
- Quality: What users need
- Stability: When users need it
- Coverage: Where users need it
We work hard to maintain strict adherence to the community-driven General Transit Format Specification (GTFS-RT) to optimize user experiences. If your information deviates from the GTFS-RT, the warning and blocking errors are listed in the validation report, which include:
- Inconsistencies with the underlying static feed
- Format and correctness of entities (syntax)
- Presence of required fields
- Time ranges matching expected values from the static feed
QA benchmark - Tolerances and expectations
- Tolerance for warnings and errors for percentage of affected entities is 2% and 0%, respectively. Additional details are available in the validation report.
- A regular, stable, and cyclical distribution for feed entities over time is expected, without spikes or drops in number of feed entities (e.g. number of vehicles).
- Service alerts require proper language, consistency, and cause and effect information.
Issues with tolerances and expectations can lead to incomplete or inaccurate data shown to users, which is often launch-blocking. Possible causes and fixes are mentioned in the report. For more details, review our support docs.
We require a consistent, weekly inflow of data feeds via data pushes and pulls to provide the best on-ground experience for users. Downtime is expected during setup and system improvements, but Realtime systems must remain stable and provide parsable data through the year (including weekends and public holidays).
QA benchmark - Server uptime errors
Google monitors incoming feeds for stability over 8-16 days. Errors in data formats and corrupt protobuffers are effectively failed pushes / pulls (e.g. no ASCII in production). From the daily validation report, we expect to see instances of 1% or below for the following types of server uptime errors:
- Protobuf errors (format and parsing)
- Fetcher errors
Several failed fetches in a row trigger bad user experiences and get flagged, block launches, and cause feed suspension.
QA benchmark - Feed age
Feed timestampsare used to compute Feed age, and are measured in seconds since epoch (UTC). A feed age shouldn't be older than 90 seconds when we receive it. Feed age for Service Alerts can be up to 10 minutes.
Note: Feed age is different from a trip update timestamp.
Transit provides users with complete, on-ground information for their trips. Specifically, Transit aims to provide:
- Complete data for areas near city centers and high-traffic areas
- Updates on most trips from the static feed, especially busy and central routes (full and partial coverage)
- Accurate and up-to-date data though service alerts and Vehicle Positions wherever possible, in addition to trip updates
Follow these guidelines to make sure you meet data quality benchmarks and create the best experience for Transit users.

Direction, at this early stage in cinema, consisted mainly of pointing a stationary camera in one direction and capturing whatever action transpired within the frame. Along with W. K. L. Dickson, Heise was one of the most prolific filmmakers of the nascent days of cinema. He worked with Dickson on many of the early shorts, capturing numerous scenes of everyday life as well as different aspects of performance and sport. —wikipedia

Why Being a Hostess Is So Important
By Sandra Garson
Facing the Fear of Death. We've come to the coldest, darkest days of the year, which means holiday time, and there's a reason for its peculiar tsunami of food, drink and partying. It's the same reason meetings and seminars any time of year inevitably set out snacks and water in a "hospitality room." Hospitality —a Latin word that means "to meet the needs of guests"-- is as old as humankind, likely the reason we are still here because the primary survival need of any guest, any body, is food and water. We may know where the closest supermarket is, but our nomadic, hunter/gather ancestors could not be certain about their next meal, especially far from familiar tents. Survival totally depended on kindness in an encounter with strangers, and the IOUs that kindness created. To not give someone food, salt and water was tantamount to murder, which is why hospitality became the basis of morality. It's written into the precepts of all religions, its goodness being as close to godliness as we can get. Here are everyday examples.
Sandra Garson is the author of Veggiyana, the Dharma of Cooking and How to Fix a Leek and Other Food From Your Farmers' Market. As a longtime student of Tibetan Buddhism and well-known cook for Dharma centers from Maine to Mongolia, she became the first food historian to explore the Buddha's influence on how the world now eats. This led to exploration of more religious beliefs about food.

8 Reasons to Dump a Mutual Fund
Reasons to Dump a Mutual Fund
Many financial advisors and academics do not advise selling stocks and mutual funds when prices are dropping during bear markets. If you can just hold on from side to side thick and thin, they argue, you are likely to enjoy returns better than any other asset class over the long run.
Though, there are occasions when selling a mutual fund might be acceptable. Buy and hold is not everlastingly. Here we glance at the top eight reasons for selling a mutual fund.
1. Portfolio Rebalancing
Over time, trends in financial markets may cause asset allocations to diverge from desired settings. In other words, some mutual funds can nurture to a large proportion of the portfolio while others shrink to a smaller proportion, exposing you to a different level of risk.
To avoid these possibilities, the portfolio can be rebalanced periodically by selling units in funds that have relatively large weights and transferring the proceeds to funds that have relatively small weights. Under this rule, the time to sell equity mutual funds is when they have enjoyed high-quality gains over an extended bull market and the percentage allocated to them has drifted up too high.
2. Mutual Fund Changes or Mismanagement
Mutual funds might change in a many number of ways that can be at odds with your original reasons for buying. For an instance, a star portfolio manager could jump ship and be replaced by someone missing the same capabilities. Or there may be approach drift, which arises when a manager gradually alters his or her investing approach over time. (For more insight, check out Focus Pocus May Not Lead to Magical Returns and Must You Follow Your Fund Manager?)
Other signals to move on include an increasing trend in annual management expense ratios (MERs) or a fund that has developed large relative to the market. If the fund has developed large compared to the market, managers could have difficulty differentiating their portfolios from the market in order to earn above-market returns.
3. Investor Growth
As you gain more and more experience and you can acquire more and more wealth and hence you may outgrow mutual funds. With larger wealth comes the ability to buy enough individual stocks to achieve adequate diversification and avoid MERs. And with superior knowledge comes the confidence to do it yourself, whether it is actively picking stocks or buying and holding market indexes through exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
4. Life Cycle Changes
Although stocks historically have been the best investments to own over the long run, their instability makes them untrustworthy vehicles in the short term. While retirement, children's post-secondary educations, or some other funding requirements approach, a good idea is to shift out of stock-market funds into assets that have more certain returns, such as bonds or term deposits, whose maturities coincide with the time that the funds will be needed.
5. Mistakes
Every now and then, investors' due diligence is incomplete and they end up owning funds they otherwise would have not purchased. For an instance, the investor might discover that the fund is too impulsive for their tastes, a closet-index fund with a high MER, or invested in undesirable securities.
Portfolio errors might also have been dedicated by the investor. A frequent mistake is over-diversifying with too many funds, which can be difficult to keep tabs on and can tend to average out to market performance (less fund fees).
Another common misstep is to puzzle owning a large number of funds with diversification. A large number of funds will not smooth out fluctuations if they tend to move in the same direction. What's desirable is a collection of funds, of which some can be expected to be up when others are down.
6. Valuation
Shift out of mutual funds to rebalance your fixed portfolio allocations by using a stretchy or opportunistic approach. A common valuation benchmark is the price-earnings ratio (P/E ratio); for U.S. stocks, it has averaged 14 to 15 over time, so if it rises to 24 to 26, valuations are overextended and the risk of a downturn is prominent.
7. Something Better Comes Along
Selling on every occasion something better came along. In the mutual fund territory, some funds can come onto the market with innovations that are better at doing what your fund is doing. Or, over time, it may become obvious other portfolio managers are performing better against the same benchmarks.
8. Tax Reduction
Mutual funds held in taxable accounts might be down significantly from their purchase price. They can be sold to understand capital losses that are used to offset taxable capital gains and thus lower taxes.
If the sale was exclusively to realize a capital loss for taxation purposes, the investor will want to re-establish the position after the 30-day period necessary to avoid the superficial-loss rule. The investor might take a possibility that the price will be the same, lower or might choose to hold a proxy for the fund's price movement.
Tax-loss selling tends to take place during August to late December. That's also the era when many funds have anticipated the capital gains and income they will be distributing to investors at year end. These amounts are taxable in the hands of the investor, so a supplementary reason to sell a losing fund from the tax point of view may be to avoid a large year-end distribution that would entail paying additional taxes.

Application Domains and Assemblies
This topic describes the relationship between application domains and assemblies. You must load an assembly into an application domain before you can execute the code it contains. Running a typical application causes several assemblies to be loaded into an application domain.
The way an assembly is loaded determines whether its just-in-time (JIT) compiled code can be shared by multiple application domains in the process, and whether the assembly can be unloaded from the process.
 - If an assembly is loaded domain-neutral, all application domains that share the same security grant set can share the same JIT-compiled code, which reduces the memory required by the application. However, the assembly can never be unloaded from the process.
 - If an assembly is not loaded domain-neutral, it must be JIT-compiled in every application domain in which it is loaded. However, the assembly can be unloaded from the process by unloading all the application domains in which it is loaded.
The runtime host determines whether to load assemblies as domain-neutral when it loads the runtime into a process. For managed applications, apply the LoaderOptimizationAttribute attribute to the entry-point method for the process, and specify a value from the associated LoaderOptimization enumeration. For unmanaged applications that host the common language runtime, specify the appropriate flag when you call the CorBindToRuntimeEx Function method.
There are three options for loading domain-neutral assemblies:
 - SingleDomain loads no assemblies as domain-neutral, except Mscorlib, which is always loaded domain-neutral. This setting is called single domain because it is commonly used when the host is running only a single application in the process.
 - MultiDomain loads all assemblies as domain-neutral. Use this setting when there are multiple application domains in the process, all of which run the same code.
 - MultiDomainHost loads strong-named assemblies as domain-neutral, if they and all their dependencies have been installed in the global assembly cache. Other assemblies are loaded and JIT-compiled separately for each application domain in which they are loaded, and thus can be unloaded from the process. Use this setting when running more than one application in the same process, or if you have a mixture of assemblies that are shared by many application domains and assemblies that need to be unloaded from the process.
JIT-compiled code cannot be shared for assemblies loaded into the load-from context, using the LoadFrom method of the Assembly class, or loaded from images using overloads of the Load method that specify byte arrays.
Assemblies that have been compiled to native code by using the Ngen.exe (Native Image Generator) can be shared between application domains, if they are loaded domain-neutral the first time they are loaded into a process.
JIT-compiled code for the assembly that contains the application entry point is shared only if all its dependencies can be shared.
A domain-neutral assembly can be JIT-compiled more than once. For example, when the security grant sets of two application domains are different, they cannot share the same JIT-compiled code. However, each copy of the JIT-compiled assembly can be shared with other application domains that have the same grant set.
When you decide whether to load assemblies as domain-neutral, you must make a tradeoff between reducing memory use and other performance factors.
 - Access to static data and methods is slower for domain-neutral assemblies because of the need to isolate assemblies. Each application domain that accesses the assembly must have a separate copy of the static data, to prevent references to objects in static fields from crossing domain boundaries. As a result, the runtime contains additional logic to direct a caller to the appropriate copy of the static data or method. This extra logic slows down the call.
 - All the dependencies of an assembly must be located and loaded when the assembly is loaded domain-neutral, because a dependency that cannot be loaded domain-neutral prevents the assembly from being loaded domain-neutral.

 1. For a mapping between two Euclidean spaces, is it a linear conformal mapping if and only if it is a similarity transformation?
 My answer is yes, because the Jacobian matrix of a conformal transformation is everywhere a scalar times a rotation matrix.
 Note that both allow reflection, i.e. change of orientation.
 2. Is it correct that a conformal mapping may not be an affine nor projective transformation, because it may not be linear?
Thanks and regards!
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
 1. Yes, for elementary reasons. Let $f$ be a linear conformal map and apply this to any triangle $ABC$. Then $f(AB),f(BC),f(CA)$ will be lines by linearity, and by conformality $f(ABC)$ will have the angles of $ABC$ so they will be similar therefore $f$ is a similarity mapping.
 2. Yes, consider inversion with respect to a fixed circle.

How Long Do Mushrooms Last?
Do mushrooms last longer than other foods?
Mushrooms are fungi that grow underground.
They are often found growing on decaying wood or manure.
They are also known as buttons because of their shape.
I'm going to tell you how long mushrooms last and if there's anything you need to know before eating them.
Mushroom Expiration Date
Mushrooms last longer if stored properly. Store mushrooms in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in tightly sealed containers and store them in the refrigerator. Mushrooms are perishable and should not be left at room temperature for long periods of time.
How Long Do Mushrooms Last?
Mushrooms last longer when stored properly. Store mushrooms away from direct sunlight. Store them in tightly sealed containers. Keep them in the refrigerator.
How Long Do Cooked Mushrooms Last?
Cooked mushrooms last longer if you store them properly. Store them away from direct sunlight. Keep them in the fridge.
How Long Do Uncooked Mushrooms Last?
Uncooked mushrooms last about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
How To Store Mushrooms?
Mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Keep them wrapped in plastic wrap or place them in a paper bag.
Storing Mushrooms Outside The Fridge
You can store mushrooms outside the fridge for up to three days. Just put them in a paper bag or other airtight container. How to Clean Mushrooms
Storing Mushrooms In The Fridge
Mushrooms are delicious and nutritious. They are easy to clean and store. Here are some tips on how to clean mushrooms. Wash the mushrooms under running water. Remove any dirt from the surface using a damp cloth. Dry the mushrooms thoroughly. Store the cleaned mushrooms in a plastic bag or container.
If you buy packaged mushrooms, wash them well before storing. Do not leave them sitting around in the open air. Keep them away from other items such as fruits and vegetables.
Unpacked mushrooms are usually available in the grocery store. These mushrooms are usually stored in plastic bags or boxes. It is important to remove any dirt or debris from the mushroom before using it. Wash the mushrooms thoroughly under running tap water. Remove the stem and cut off the cap. Cut the caps into pieces if needed. Store the mushrooms in a cool dry place.
Can You Freeze Mushrooms?
Yes, you can freeze mushrooms. Just follow these steps: 1 Clean the mushrooms well; 2 Place the cleaned mushrooms in a freezer bag or container; 3 Close the bag or container tightly; 4 Label the package clearly with the date; 5 Put the package in the freezer; 6 Thaw the frozen mushrooms according to the instructions on the label.
How To Blanch Mushrooms For The Freezer
Blanching is a process where vegetables are immersed in boiling water for a short period of time. This process helps remove any dirt or debris from the vegetable and kills any bacteria. It also helps retain nutrients and vitamins in the vegetable. To blanch mushrooms, place them in a bowl and fill it with cold water. Bring a medium sized pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the mushrooms and let them simmer for about 30 seconds. Remove the mushrooms from the hot water using tongs and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain the mushrooms and pat dry with paper towels.
How To Sauté Mushrooms For The Freezer
Sautéing is a method of cooking food in a pan or skillet. In sautéing, the food is cooked in fat or oil until tender and lightly colored. The food is usually stirred frequently during the cooking process. To saute mushrooms, pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy skillet and heat it over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and stir occasionally until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
How To Freeze Raw Mushrooms
Freezing raw mushrooms is a great way to preserve them for later use. It's important to freeze them right after washing and trimming them. Once frozen, store them in freezer bags or containers. This allows you to take advantage of the convenience of having pre-cooked mushrooms whenever you're ready.
How To Tell If A Mushroom Is Bad?
Mushrooms are very nutritious and delicious. But sometimes, we eat bad mushroom because we don't know how to tell if a mushroom is good or not. Here are some tips to help you identify whether a mushroom is good or bad. 1. Fresh mushrooms are usually white in color. However, if you see any other colors such as red, yellow, orange, black, purple, green, blue, gray, brown, pink, or violet, then these are probably poisonous mushrooms. 2. Look closely at the stem of the mushroom. If the stem is dry, brittle, and hollow, then the mushroom is definitely poisonous.
How long do mushrooms last in the fridge once opened?
Mushrooms are generally safe to eat if cooked properly. However, certain varieties of wild mushrooms can be toxic if not handled correctly. For instance, the Amanita phalloides mushroom death cap is highly poisonous and can kill even healthy adults. Other types of mushrooms such as the false morel Gyromitra esculenta, the fly agaric Amanita muscaria, and the deadly amanita species Amanita phalloides can also be fatal if ingested. It is important to note that these mushrooms are not only dangerous to humans but also to pets and livestock.
When should you not eat old mushrooms?
Mushrooms are generally safe to eat if they are not moldy or rotten. However, mushrooms are susceptible to contamination from bacteria, molds, and other fungi. Mushrooms are usually sold in plastic bags or containers, but these bags can become contaminated easily. It is important to wash mushrooms thoroughly before using them. To clean mushrooms, soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes. Remove the stems and cut off the caps. Then place the caps into a bowl filled with cool water and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain the mushrooms well and pat dry with paper towels.
Can old mushrooms make you sick?
Mushrooms are delicate vegetables that can easily turn soggy if not stored properly. It is important to store them in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. However, they should be used within 3 days after being refrigerated.
Are old mushrooms edible?
Mushrooms are fungi mushroom that grow underground. Mushrooms are usually found growing on logs, tree stumps, or other decaying wood. Most people think of mushrooms as being poisonous but not all mushrooms are toxic. In fact, many types of mushrooms are actually quite delicious. They are generally eaten cooked because they lose flavor if they are raw. Many varieties of mushrooms are used in cooking and baking. For instance, white button mushrooms are often sauteed or added to soups and sauces. Other common varieties of mushrooms are cremini, portobello, shiitake, oyster, enoki, maitake, chanterelle, and king trumpet.
How long do uncooked mushrooms last in the fridge?
Mushrooms are generally safe to eat but if you notice any signs of illness after eating them, such as diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps, or fever, contact your doctor immediately. Symptoms of mushroom poisoning usually occur within 24 hours of ingestion. It is important to note that not all mushrooms are poisonous. For instance, white button mushrooms are edible while portobello mushrooms are toxic.
How do you know when mushroom are bad?
Mushrooms are generally safe to eat if they are stored properly. However, if they are stored improperly, they could become contaminated with bacteria. This is especially true if they are stored in damp conditions. It is important to store mushrooms in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Mushrooms should be stored in a plastic bag or other airtight container. Storing mushrooms in a refrigerator is not recommended because it can lead to spoilage.
Are old mushrooms poisonous?
Mushrooms are very perishable. Once you open them, they begin to lose moisture and become stale within hours. Mushrooms should be stored in the refrigerator. They can be stored for about 3 days if they are tightly sealed. After opening, they should be refrigerated.

Absolutism In England
World History: (17th-19th century)
Name/School: Carol M. Conti, Blackstone-Millville Regional High School
Grade Level: 9
Topic: Absolutism in England
Lesson: England: From Absolutism to Limited/Constitutional Monarchy
Overview: Using objects from the Historic Deerfield collection to highlight England's move from Absolutism to Limited/Constitutional Monarchy.
Time: one class period (45 minutes)
- Student's notes on English monarchs, _PHONE_
- Overhead projector
- Transparency of 18th century Delftware bowls, (Images courtesy of Historic Deerfield)
- Punch Bowl containing Queen Anne's Image – HD76.006
- Punch Bowl containing inscription of George & Sarah Jenings – HD57.109
- Concepts (Big idea/central theme): Using objects from the Historic Deerfield collection to highlight England's move from Absolutism to limited/constitutional monarchy.
- Content (What students should know): Identify how Delftware bowls created in England reflect both a move to limited/constitutional monarchy and a growing sense of individualism.
- Skills (What students should be able to do): Develop skills necessary for object study and recognize historical significance of objects.
- In the previous class, students will have analyzed the factors that led England to move from Absolutism in the 17th-century to a limited monarchy by the18th-century by examining how factors either strengthened or weakened the power of the monarch. In addition, students will have experienced a prior lesson in which they have analyzed objects as a part of historical understanding.
- Opening activity (homework review): list three facts about Delftware; list two places in which Delftware was made, list one reason why Delftware was popular in the colonies. Use this activity as a means to review the homework assignment, which provided students with background about the Delftware industry.
- Divide the class in half. Group A will be given a picture of the Delftware bowl containing Queen Anne's image. Group B will be given a picture of the Delftware bowl containing the names of a British couple who were to be married. Both groups should answer the guiding questions.
- A. What is this object?
- B. What would this object have been used for?
- C. What image(s) is contained within the object?
- D. Both of these objects were created in the 18th century in Britain. Approximately when do you think this object was created?
- Pair up students; one from group A and one from group B. Students should share their images and their answers to the guiding questions. Working with their partner, students should use that information as well as their prior knowledge to determine the following: How can these objects be used to support the idea that England moved from Absolutism to limited/constitutional monarchy? How do these objects reflect a growing sense of individualism in England?
- This lesson is part of a larger unit on Absolutism. For the unit evaluation project, students, working with a partner or individually, create a guide to absolute rule (based on the popular "Idiots/Dummies Guides" in which they demonstrate the steps one needs to obtain and hold absolute rule, as well as the steps one needs to avoid. As the final project must include text and images, this concept should be incorporated in the guide.
- There would also be a quiz following the completion of this segment of the unit. This quiz would include an evaluate question relating to this lesson.
Extension Possibilities/Interdisciplinary Connections:
- Students could create their own "Delftware" that reflects their sense of individualism or an idea important to them.
Tips and Reflections from Author
- I hope to give each student a copy of the image; however, given budget restraints I may have to put the image of an overhead.
History/Social Science Curriculum Frameworks Learning Standards:
WHII.2 – Explain why England was the main exception to the growth of absolutism in royal power in Europe.

An Analysis on Finding the Influencing Factors Among Teachers in Kanchipuram District to Enhancing their Pedagogical Knowledge using Data Mining TechniquesJournal: IPASJ International Journal of Computer Science (IIJCS) (Vol.6, No. 1)
Publication Date: 2018-02-13
Authors : Nalini.K Prakasam.S;
Page : 20-25
Keywords : Keywords: Pedagogy; Knowledge; Teachers; Influencing Factors;
ABSTRACT In the Modern Era the Pedagogy Knowledge is playing a vital role in the teacher's carrier. Because it helps to increase their performance, understanding subject, delivering the content to the students. The teachers' ability to make appropriate connections among concepts, to generate different solutions and representations for problems, to address students' difficulties and misconceptions effectively, and to choose appropriate examples to teach a particular topic were largely based on the depth of their subject-matter knowledge. However, the field experiences contributed to their repertoire of examples of students' difficulties and misconceptions as well as instructional strategies and materials. The purpose of this study was to examine how the pedagogy methods and its associated field experience supported the development of pedagogical knowledge for school primary teachers in Kanchipuram District. Also examined to find out the highest influencing factors and least influencing factors of different pedagogical approaches in different subjects in Kanchipuram District Teachers and examined what are the approaches contributed to that development from the teachers' perspective in Kanchipuram District. The data were collected in Kanchipuram District Schools during August 2017 to November 2017. During this period, the author collected 309 samples in the form of observations, questionnaire from different teachers in different schools in Kanchipuram District and the collected data was analyzed according to the pedagogical knowledge framework developed for this study.

How do scientists measure the size of Earth?
How do scientists measure the size of Earth?
Scientists aim radio telescopes at distant objects called quasars and measure how long it takes their radio signals to reach Earth. Right click images to download them if they automatically display in your browser.
How was the diameter of Earth measured first?
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) is credited as the first person to try and calculate the size of the Earth by determining its circumference (the length around the equator) He estimated this distance to be 400,000 stades (a stadia is a Greek measurement equaling about 600 feet).
Who first measured the diameter of the Earth?
Eratosthenes of Cyrene
The first person to determine the size of Earth was Eratosthenes of Cyrene, who produced a surprisingly good measurement using a simple scheme that combined geometrical calculations with physical observations. Eratosthenes was born around 276 B.C., which is now Shahhat, Libya.
How do you measure diameter?
Just divide the circumference by π to find the diameter. For example, if your circle has a circumference of 23 inches, the diameter would be 23/π, or approximately 7.32 inches. If you only know the area of the circle, use the formula diameter = 2 x √(area/π).
How did the Greek know that the Earth is spherical?
In the 5th century B.C., Empedocles and Anaxagoras offered arguments for the spherical nature of the Earth. During a lunar eclipse, when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, they identified the shadow of the Earth on the moon. As the shadow moves across the moon it is clearly round.
How did Aristotle calculate the circumference of the earth?
By measuring the length of the shadow in Alexandria at noon on the Summer Solstice when there was no shadow in Syene, he could measure the circumference of the Earth! At Syene: The Sun is directly overhead, no shadows are cast at that moment.
What tool do you use to measure diameter?
Caliper Gauge: is a measuring tool to measure outside/ inside diameter/ thickness etc.
How did the ancient Greek know that the Earth is spherical?
What is the real shape of the Earth?
The Earth is an irregularly shaped ellipsoid. While the Earth appears to be round when viewed from the vantage point of space, it is actually closer to an ellipsoid. However, even an ellipsoid does not adequately describe the Earth's unique and ever-changing shape.

I'm looking for an interval tree algorithm similar to the red-black interval tree in CLR but that supports merging of intervals by default so that there are never any overlapping intervals.
In other words if you had a tree containing two intervals [2,3] and [5,6] and you added the interval [4,4], the result would be a tree containing just one interval [2,6].
Thanks
Update: the use case I'm considering is calculating transitive closure. Interval sets are used to store the successor sets because they have been found to be quite compact. But if you represent interval sets just as a linked list I have found that in some situations they can become quite large and hence so does the time required to find the insertion point. Hence my interest in interval trees. Also there may be quite a lot of merging one tree with another (i.e. a set OR operation) - if both trees are large then it may be better to create a new tree using inorder walks of both trees rather than repeated insertions of each interval.
share|improve this question

I've deleted my answer since I stupidly overlooked some cases. It was still possible to fix, but would become a lot more complicated. Anyway, since you updated to say you'll mostly be merging entire trees, the answer doesn't seem useful anymore, as in-order traversal will be faster. – interjay Apr 9 '10 at 12:08

Oh ok. Sometimes I will be merging two large trees when inorder will probably be faster, but more often I will be adding a small tree to a large tree. – Dave Griffiths Apr 9 '10 at 13:15

The problem I see is that inserting a large interval can wipe out a large chunk of the tree, making it difficult to recover the red-black invariants.
I think it would be easier to use a splay tree, as follows. For simplicity, each tree contains two sentinels, an interval A to the left of all other intervals and an interval Z to the right. When inserting an interval I, splay I's predecessor-to-be H to the root of the tree. The tree looks like
 H
 / \
... X
 / \
 ... ...
Now detach X and splay I's successor-to-be J to the root.
 H J
 / / \
... ... ...
At this point all of the intervals that overlap I are in J's left subtree. Detach that subtree and put all of its nodes on the free list, extending I if necessary. Make I the parent of H and J
 I
 / \
 H J
 / \
... ...
and continue on our merry way. This operation is O(log n) amortized, where n is the number of tree nodes (this can be proved by examining the splay tree potential function and doing a lot of algebra).
I should add that there's a natural recursive tree-to-tree merge by inserting the root of one tree and then merging the left and right subtrees. I don't know how to analyze it off-hand.

Writer: John Hoggarth
Director: Trevor MacFarlane
Reviewer: Dave Cunningham
'The Water Still Remains' is a community-led project organised by the Lowry Theatre as part of their 10th Anniversary Local Heritage Project. Ambitiously it explores the history of the former docklands in which the theatre is located and acts as a practical demonstration of community participation.
The latter, however, results in some distortions as the need to give each member of the 34-strong cast something to do and say generates a script that is over-long and too wordy. The script, by John Hoggarth, is inspired by the recollections and memories of people who lived and worked in the docklands area. It takes us from the development of the
that facilitated the birth of the Manchester Docks through to the growth of containerisation that resulted in their closure. In-between are more intimate tales of children in 1950's Ordsall and a courting couple in the 1960s. Hoggarth conveys a great amount of detail in an economical manner but struggles to create a sense of time or place. The more personal stories lack originality and could have taken place anywhere. The writer occasionally resorts to listing street names and local landmarks to generate audience recognition. Manchester Ship Canal
Trevor MacFarlane directs with sympathy and imagination. The enthusiasm of the large cast is channelled into energetic sequences that ensure statistical information is communicated without slowing the pace of the play and that even the less-confident members of the cast are audible. The action of the play spills from the stage with workers constructing the Ship Canal in the aisles of the theatre and boxes being used to represent cargo and to build the walls of the canal.
It is hard, however, to decide the purpose of the play. The issuing of a four-page questionnaire asking about the extent to which audience perceptions of The Lowry and Salford Quays have been changed by the play gives the impression of a marketing exercise as much as an evening's entertainment.
The Water Still Remains is at the Lowry in Manchester on 25th and 26th February 2011


Macedonian Holidays – a Comprehensive Guide
When you observe the hospitable and welcoming predisposition of Macedonian citizens, curiosity strikes right away – I wonder how these people are celebrating their holidays, how many they actually have, and to what degree these obstruct the normal flow of everyday commerce, business and administration?
new year in skopje macedonia
The handy guide below lists all of the public Macedonian holidays, their significance and celebratory tradition. It will help you plan upfront, knowing exactly when the country is taking a collective break.
Surely enough, like any nationality close to the Mediterranean, Macedonians like to have their celebrations. But while Macedonian holidays are numerous indeed, only 12 of them enjoy public holiday status. These public holidays maintain religious, national and ethnic tradition, with majority of them based on the orthodox faith.
The fact that some are movable and others have a fixed date, begs the necessity of drawing an annual chart. The one below, as you will notice, is based on the 2018 calendar year.
Macedonian public holidays 2018
The table presented is pretty much self-explanatory, so if you need to have a quick look and orient yourself properly just glance over.
For those of you who like to take a closer look, clicking the name of the holiday will take you down this page for a more detailed explanation. a detailed explanation is available below.
Looking at the table above, you'll notice 12 Macedonian holidays, signifying religious and national tradition.
If a holiday happens to fall on a weekend, the authorities will issue a proclamation that basically sets the observation on a different day, allowing the country to take a collective break. That being said, even people who are not of orthodox faith are getting a day off when celebrating Christmas of Easter. The same holds true for the Muslim holiday of Eid Al Fitr (the end of Ramadan).
Some of the ethnic and religious holidays are enjoyed by specific communities, but the public holidays provide a mandatory break regardless of your ethnic or religious background. The Macedonian holidays are regulated by the Law on Holidays in the Republic of Macedonia, 2007. It is this law which permits the authorities to proclaim additional non-working days for holidays if they are officially published.
The religious holidays are often celebrated traditionally in both the capital of Skopje, as well as around the country. Some of the national holidays are celebrated exclusively at specific locations, like for example Meckin Kamen near Krushevo, respecting historical context and tradition.
Macedonian public holidays described
Going over the public holidays in Macedonia, we will try and reflect on the meaning of each, describing the general perception, importance, and cultural appreciation.
New Year's Day
Observing the Gregorian calendar as all other countries in the world (except Israel), Macedonians are celebrating New Year's Day as a public holiday. The celebration traditionally starts at 00:00, with fireworks, music and public square concerts – majority of which have been discontinued recently, for the reason of charity donations. A practice described by many locals as an act of virtue signaling, and populist moves by a sharply divided political spectrum.
Orthodox Christmas Day (often googled as Macedonian Christmas)
christmas in macedonia
Observed every year on the 7th of January, Macedonians are celebrating the birth of Christ. The celebration is humble and confined to religious temples only, as opposed to the western consumerism craze happening around the holidays. If there is a parallel to be drawn, you can find much similarity to western enthusiasm with Christmas with the celebration of the New Year's Eve in Macedonia.
Much of this, as many believe, boils down to communist rule partly prohibiting excessive religion appreciation. Macedonia is long past the years of communism, but tradition seems to hold on.
Orthodox Easter Monday
The date itself is movable, and it changes every year. For 2018, the Orthodox Easter Day is celebrated on the 8th of April (Sunday – the day of week is fixed and never changes), and the public holiday is established on Monday the 9th of April, being a non-working day.
Easter, traditionally, is celebrated on midnight where many people gather inside and around every active church, to pray and wait for the resurrection of Christ. The traffic in Skopje is largely obstructed, for crowds of people are walking on the streets, visiting churches located in the city center.
Groups of friends, family and teenagers are covering the center, many of which are not paying attention to the religious aspect of the gathering, but are enjoying the social nature of the event.
The following day is considered the 2nd day of Easter (which is celebrated for 3 days in a row), where the family comes together for lunch. Recently, the trend is for people to flock the southern border, heading towards neighboring Greece, for a 2-3 day vacation.
Since Great Friday (observed by Orthodox Christians, and established as a non-working day for the people of the Orthodox faith) extends the weekend, which is further prolonged by the public holiday observed in Monday, many people decide to treat themselves with a short vacation. Putting this into consideration, we can say that the conservative tradition of Macedonians is definitely changing its shape.
Labor Day
May Day, which is associated with the commemoration of the achievements of the labor movement, is celebrated in over 80 countries as a public holiday. It is also known as Labor Day, or International Worker's Day.
In the States, the observation is moved to September, as to avoid commemorating some of the deadliest riots, while in Russia the holiday is meat to symbolize solidarity with the worker class.
In Macedonia, however, there is little appreciation of the ideological background of the holiday. It is, instead, a day reserved for weekend gateways (when the calendar year is gracious enough to place it next to a weekend), or hedonistic picnics in nature.
Saint Cyril and Methodius Day
Celebrated in both Bulgaria and Macedonia, this is a day of culture and literacy as much as it is of religious tradition. Observed on the 24th of May, it is also known as the Alphabet Day, proclaimed as a public holiday only in Macedonia.
Two Byzantine brothers born in the 9th century, Cyril and Methodius went as missionaries to present day Ukraine, spreading Christianity among the Slavic peoples of Great Morava, Pannonia and Bulgaria.
Credited with devising the Glagolitic alphabet (precursor to the Cyrillic, named after Cyril), the transcribed religious book spreading both faith and literacy. As of today, over 300 million people use the Cyrillic script.
Eid al Fitr
Marking the end of Ramadan and the fast, the date of Eid depends on the sighting of the moon, with slight variations in the exact time of celebration around the world.
The law of holidays of the republic of Macedonia announced in the year 2007, established this as the first Muslim holiday elevated to the rank of a public holiday, making it a non-work day for people from all religious backgrounds.
Macedonian Republic Day
krushevo republic day macedonia
Marking two important events from Macedonian history – the Ilinden uprising in 1903 and the Republic establishment in1944 – this holiday is also known for its religious significance. Marking the prophet Elijah's ascension into heaven, it is therefore known as Ilinden (or Saint Elijah's Day – translated from Macedonian).
The formal celebrations take place in Krushevo, on Meckin Kamen (Bear's Rock), where the famous battle with the ottoman army took place during the 1903 uprising. Ethnic music and traditional Macedonian clothing are often decorating the celebration.
Macedonian Independence Day
Celebrating the referendum for independence in 1991, the Macedonian Independence Day marks the beginning of the modern Republic of Macedonia. When it falls on a weekend, the government additionally announces the observation day.
The country gained its independence from Yugoslavia, where within its borders it was only a federal state. After the Independence Day, Macedonia became a sovereign parliamentary democracy.
Taking place on September the 8th, 1991, over 95% of the voters have chosen Independence from Yugoslavia, granting Macedonia the only peaceful separation from the union, while the region has succumbed to conflict. Several official events are held, celebrating national pride.
Revolution day (Day of uprising)
Celebrated on the 11th of October, this is the day of the uprising against the fascist aggressor, when in 1941 armed insurgents form Prilep attacked Axis occupied zones in the city. The resistance continued well into the following years, lasting until the end of the war in 1994.
No significant celebration events are held during this day.
Day of the Macedonian revolution
Commemorating the establishment of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO – or VMRO in Macedonian), this day is celebrating the historical and patriotic importance of this liberation movement operating within the Ottoman Empire.
The organization was founded by Dame Gruev, Hristo Tatarchev, Peter Pop-Arsov, Andon Dimitrov, Ivan Hadzinikolov and Hristo Batandzhiev. It is celebrated on the 23rd of October, without excessive formality and celebratory events.
The day of the Macedonian revolution is only recently established as a public holiday, thanks to the right wing party bearing the name of the historic organization.
Saint Clement of Ohrid
A disciple of Saint Cyril and Methodius, St. Clement of Ohrid was born in 840. He was leading one of the Slavonic schools established by the Bulgarian King Boris, and is commonly accredited with inventing the Cyrillic alphabet.

AJAX Controls and ClientIDMode
The new ClientIDMode property is a new.NET 4.0 features that allows a developer to take control over the ClientID property. In.NET 3.5 and earlier, the ClientID property renders in the ID HTML attribute for all controls. The system generated ID would be very long, may be looking something like ct100_ct100_BOdyPlaceholder_Ctl for a control that has an ID property of Ctl, and as such, ClientIDMode gives you much better control over this rendering process. For instance, a mode of Static takes whether the ID value is and renders it directly, which is very useful but potentially dangerous (as then you have to ensure that each ID is unique). It seems a lot of people favor the Predicable, trimming down the "ID fat." ClientIDMode can be set per control, in the _USER_ declaration, and in the config file.
From an AJAX perspective, this can be helpful. It was mostly required to find an AJAX control (especially if the application used a master page). This required these types of lookups of AJAX components:
var control = $find("<%= Button1.ClientID %>");
This finds a button AJAX control, but as you can see, because the ID is never the same as the ClientID, we needed to render it from the server-side so that the correct client-side ID (always ClientID) is passed in and the control is properly found.
But with the addition of ClientIDMode, for controls we know are standard, we can define a control like:
And can reference it on the client as:
var control = $find("b1");
Because both the ID and the ClientID match on the server, thus the server-side ID of b1 is also the client side ID of b1, and it makes it easier for lookups, though the previous approach wasn't that much more difficult. There are only a handful of scenarios where the <%= %> syntax doesn't work, such as templated controls that are not marked with [TemplateInstance(TemplateInstance.Single)] attribute definition, or repeating templates. The syntax must also be specified in the same container (same page, same user control, etc.).
I'd recommend using ClientIDMode="Static" for central controls, such as the scriptmanager, or if you use Telerik the RadAJaxManager and other Rad manager controls. Additionally, other master page controls can use a static ID, and then it makes it easier to target these controls from client-side JavaScript, as we don't have to mess around with the <%= control.ClientID %> syntax and any general scoping issues that may bring.
There is an AJAX benefit to the new ClientIDMode property.

In 2010 the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) received research funding from the Scottish Government to investigate the acoustic output from wave energy devices operating in a high energy wave climate. This research will facilitate future studies into the effects of the acoustic output of wave energy converter devices on cetaceans, sea mammals and seabirds.
The project involved assessment of available techniques and development of a methodology appropriate to EMEC's Billia Croo wave test site to enable acoustic data collection and analysis, and subsequent use of the methodology to collect data from which an acoustic baseline description of the test site can be formed. The production of this acoustic characterisation of the Billia Croo test site will permit future comparison with data collected by developers testing devices at the EMEC wave test site using the same methodology and equipment.
This document forms the final report to the Scottish Government and comprises four main sections as detailed below, together with an Annex which describes how the methodology was used to measure the acoustic output from an operational wave energy converter device deployed at the Billia Croo test site. Section 1 provides a review of relevant background data, while Sections 2-4 provide details of the measurement methodology developed during the study to characterise noise for operational noise assessment of wave energy converter systems.


text: Observation TowerStanding in the open mountain pass of Dukla on the Slovak-Polish borders you can see an observatory tower offering a spectacular view of the Slovak and Polish land – the background scenery of the fights during the Karpathian-Dukla operation. The Tower was opened up for public in 1974 on the 30th anniversary of the Battle of Dukla pass. It is 49 m high and was built on the site of an original wooden observatory tower from 1959 nearby a temporary observatory site of the commander of the 1.Czechoslovakian army corps. The tower interior is well-decorated with some art pieces of the sculptor A. Raček: "Vítanie osloboditeľov – Welcome of the liberators ", a figure composition "Spoločný boj – Common fight" of the academic sculpture J. Koreň. The tower exterior is decorated with " Lime tree branch" being a symbol of a Slavonian solidarity created by an academic sculptor F. Patočka. Inside the observatory tower we can find: "A plan of an attack of the Red Army through Karpathy mountains to help directly SNU" and "An actual map in the space of the Dukla pass from September 30 up to November 5th 1944".


Why Do Guinea Pigs Squeal? Find Out Now!
Guinea pigs are very sociable animals, and because of this, they have evolved to produce a series of vocalizations they use to communicate with other individuals of their species.
Why Do Guinea Pigs Squeal? Find Out Now!
Last update: 30 December, 2020
Guinea pigs are called "Cuys" in some countries of South America. This name has an onomatopoeic origin and it refers to the vocalizations that these rodents emit regularly, in both domestic and wild environments. In this article, we pose the following question: Why do guinea pigs squeal? If you want the answer, we encourage you to read on.
Communication in the animal world is a fascinating evolutionary process, and, for this reason, various ethological researchers are trying to decipher the meaning of language in the different species in the animal kingdom.
About guinea pigs
Before entering fully into the world of guinea pig communication, we need to define the species in question. Surprising as it may seem, the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) is a species of hybrid rodent belonging to the family Caviidae. These curious pets are the result of the crossing of diverse species of the Cavia genus, such as Cavia aparea or Cavia magna.
Some of the differential characteristics of these small mammals are the following:
 - They come from the Andean region of South America
 - They weigh about 2 lbs and live between five and eight years
 - Guinea pigs are herbivorous animals and require a continuous supply of fiber and vitamin C to enjoy good health
 - This species has different morphotypes, which differ by the color arrangement and nature of their coat.
 - They're affable, calm rodents, and live in social groups.
It's this last characteristic that gives us the first clue as to why guinea pigs squeal. If an animal lives in a society, it has to have some way of communicating with its relatives, right?

So, why do guinea pigs squeal?
As simple as the question may seem, several ethological studies have designed experimental models to discover the reason for these vocalizations. This task is certainly not a simple one. Besides the existence of variations at an individual level, the squeals seem to have a different meaning according to the age of the guinea pig.
The guinea pig is especially multifaceted since, according to this research, it's capable of emitting up to 11 different tonalities. Some of them respond to the following situations:
 - Guinea pigs (especially the youngest ones) emit more audible sounds when they are in a new environment. This coincides with cortisol level increases in their bodies, a stress-related hormone.
 - When separated from their mothers, the guinea pigs emit calls out of loneliness, which are accompanied by an increase in the animal's movements and general agitation. Once the little ones return to their parents, the mothers emit a series of purrs to calm their offspring.
However, not everything is linked to the relationship between mothers and their children, since many other vocalizations are related to other processes. Up next, we'll be mentioning some examples.
A sound for every situation
Several studies have researched when, how, and why different vocalizations occur in various situations. These are some of the results:
 - The chortle is the most common vocalization among guinea pigs. It seems to be present in all kinds of situations, whether they're social or not. The emission of these preliminary sounds is very present when two individuals meet and try to identify each other. In addition, these sounds are later substituted by other noises more appropriate to the situation.
 - The moaning sounds they make are produced, in general, when a situation causes discomfort in the animal. For example, when a non-receptive female is approached by a reproductive male.
 - The squeaking sound is produced when the guinea pig experiences some type of physical pain.
There are many more sounds and noises emitted by guinea pigs, but one idea is clear: guinea pigs squeal to communicate with each other. Each tone has a specific function, and, from an evolutionary point of view, it's much more effective to warn others of a negative interaction with a sound than with a physical activity that requires more energy.

A matter of sociability
As we've seen, social animals such as guinea pigs have developed complex linguistic mechanisms to communicate different feelings and emotions. This is beneficial for all members of the group since they can detect danger more quickly and avoid unnecessary fights among themselves.
In the animal world, everything has a biological response. Therefore, if you have a guinea pig at home, we encourage you to try to understand in what situations and with what frequency it produces these noises. After all, it may be trying to convey a message, such as continuous stress or feeling of loneliness.

Cascading StyleSheet (CSS) Link Text Formatting in NetObjects Fusion
When you add a link to some existing CSS-formatted text, you might get unexpected formatting results. For best results, set only color properties for CSS link styles.
Check your CSS link formatting settings in two places:
- Style View, Text tab, and
- Page View, on the Menu select Text, Edit Text Styles.
In each of those areas, set only the desired color. Leave all other settings on "Automatic." Why?
- If you define a font size for link text, the link style font size will override the font size of the page text when you make a link in your page.
- This behavior is probably NOT what you want.
To check your link style settings for each possible CSS style level, in Page View's Text Styles dialog, check all the available Scope settings. If you do that, you will get no odd formatting with text links.

There are two elements to this book, and it is important to distinguish between them.
The first is a detailed deconstruction and criticism of current theory. It has been taken as read that modern physics theory is complex and mathematical, and we have suggested that this is partly but not solely the cause of its unintelligibility. The case we have argued is that modern physics, from around 1905 onwards, is literally incoherent, containing fundamental conflicts in its ideas and theories, and that this runs much more deeply than the acknowledged bifurcation of theory post 1900. Most damagingly, there are significant elements of this that amount to a basic rejection of scientific methodology. (more…)

POWERFUL TOOLS FOR COLOR SEGMENTATION
The Aphelion™ Color Extension lets the user manage color images from the Aphelion Dev environment by providing advanced tools to segment images and extract objects of interest based on their color intensity. It includes four semi-automatic segmentation techniques: Interval, Distance, Region Growing, and Morphological Partition. The user first identifies some points or regions of interest in an image, and then the selected algorithm automatically extracts the regions based on the defined color. Fine-tuning tools are available to increase the regions of interest to provide an optimal match of the objects to be detected.
Segmentation of a color image in the Aphelion Dev graphical user interface using the Color Extension
Color tools included:
- Color Conversion – Support for RGB, HSI, YIQ, YUV, XYZ, Lab, and LCH color spaces.
- Interval – This method is based on the processing of the three color bands independently. The color value is defined by clicking on a reference point inside an object to be detected. A threshold is then performed using the color band values of the reference point, plus and minus the respective band tolerance values that are user defined.
- Distance – This method defines an object as being a set of pixels such that the distance of the pixel color value and the color reference is less or equal to a specified distance. The user specifies the distance value by adjusting a slider and the color reference by clicking points in the image.
- Region Growing – This method of segmentation is based on manually specifying initial object seeds inside objects of interest. Such seeded or initial regions are grown larger through the user's changing the color Distance parameter or placing additional object and non-object seeds on the image.
- Morphological Partition – This segmentation method is based on a morphological watershed operation that partitions an image into N regions such that each regional boundary line corresponds to an image edge (i.e., a gradient sign change in a three by three neighborhood).
Main Benefits of the Aphelion Color Extension
- Fully integrated in the Aphelion Dev Object Extraction Task
- Detect color objects by just clicking on a few pixels inside the objects of interest
- Segment results more accurately by fine-tuning operator parameters
- Integrate Aphelion color operators into your stand-alone application

Please explain
Can you please explain why B ic correct? If the temperature in Charlesville drops at night, wouldn't that explain why average residents of Charlesville spends 10 to 20 percent more on winter heating expenses than the average resident of Taychester?

(B) does not help because we are talking about relative temperatures, and the stimulus tells us that "the temperature in T is always at least 10 degrees lower than in C", so even if temperatures in C drop steeply at night, T is still 10 degrees colder than C, so why are C residents paying more for heating than C? Also, night temperatures are irrelevant to winter heating expenses.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

A vacuum generator provides the basis for a vacuum system. In vacuum technology, a distinction can be made between pneumatic and electrical vacuum generators. Pneumatic vacuum generators are operated using compressed air and therefore enable a very compact design. This means they can be mounted directly where the vacuum is required. The vacuum solutions from Schmalz thus ensure the shortest possible cycle times. Vacuum generators that work with compressed air are referred to as ejectors.
Electrical vacuum generation is characterized by maximum suction capacity, which makes it ideal for handling porous workpieces or components with gaps. In vacuum systems, electrical vacuum generators are also used for particularly heavy workpieces. These types of vacuum generators can also be divided into the categories "vacuum pump" and "vacuum blower."
Another essential component of a vacuum system is the gripper that makes contact with the workpiece. At Schmalz, a distinction is made between vacuum suction cups and special grippers. The right suction cup is essential to ensure safe operation of the vacuum system. With its comprehensive range of suction cups and special grippers, Schmalz has the optimum gripper for every application.
The vacuum generator and vacuum suction cup components are common to most vacuum technology systems. Thanks to the wide range of options and variants, Schmalz ensures that every application in the field of vacuum technology meets the highest quality requirements.

Alzheimer's disease is a devastating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. As the search for a cure continues, many individuals are turning to Alzheimer's supplements to support their brain health and potentially unlock the potential of their minds. With a wide range of options available on the market, it can be overwhelming to navigate through the various products and determine which ones are truly beneficial.
Are Alzheimer's supplements the key to improving brain health? While there is no magic pill to cure or prevent Alzheimer's disease, certain supplements have shown promise in supporting brain function and potentially slowing down cognitive decline. It's important to understand the potential benefits and limitations of these Alzheimer's supplements, as well as consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating them into your routine. By exploring the science behind these supplements, we can gain a better understanding of their potential role in brain health.
The Role of Alzheimer's Supplements: Can They Improve Brain Function?
When it comes to maintaining a healthy brain, many of us are looking for ways to unlock its full potential. One avenue that has gained attention in recent years is the use of supplements. These dietary additions are thought to have the potential to improve brain function and address cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. While more research is needed to fully understand their effects, initial studies have shown promising results.
Exploring the Potential Benefits of Alzheimer's Supplements
Alzheimer's Supplements are not a magic cure for Alzheimer's or other cognitive disorders, but they may play a role in supporting brain health. Some Alzheimer's supplements contain antioxidants, which can help protect brain cells from damage caused by free radicals. Others may contain ingredients that support neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers that facilitate communication between brain cells.
It's important to note that Alzheimer's supplements should never replace evidence-based treatments or medications prescribed by healthcare professionals. However, they may be used in conjunction with other strategies, such as a healthy diet and regular exercise, to optimize brain health.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Boosting Cognitive Abilities
One supplement that has garnered significant attention is omega-3 fatty acids. Found in fatty fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds, these essential fatty acids are crucial for brain health. Not only do they play a role in maintaining the integrity of brain cell membranes, but they also support the production and function of neurotransmitters.
Examining the Role of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may have a protective effect against cognitive decline and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. A study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that individuals with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood had a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's compared to those with lower levels.
Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to improve cognitive abilities in individuals without Alzheimer's disease. A meta-analysis of several studies, published in the journal PLoS One, concluded that omega-3 supplementation may improve episodic memory, which is essential for remembering personal experiences and events.
Vitamin E: Protecting Against Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress is a natural process that occurs in our bodies. It happens when there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that can cause damage to cells, including brain cells. This damage has been linked to the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

The Missing Hotkeys (that you made anyway)
Often, there's no hotkey for something, but a sequence of existing hotkeys will do the same thing. I'm talking about keyboard macros. You map a hotkey to rapidly do a bunch in order. I use BetterTouchTool on Mac and Autohotkey on Windows.
Move to top of _______
I have 10 items I use as buckets, and moving items to them is assigned to command 0-9
 1. Move item
 2. 0.05s delay
 3. Paste text "_______"
 4. 0.1s delay
 5. Return
Move item from top of list to bottom of list
This will essentially cycle a sublist, letting you read each item but procrastinate the ones you cannot deal with to the bottom
 1. Move item up
 2. Unindent
 3. Move item down
 4. Indent
 5. Go to parent
 6. Move cursor down
Speak item with Speech Synthesis
 1. Select all (this just selects the text in the item)
 2. (MacOS "Start Speaking" hotkey (I recommend picking one of the Siri voices set at 200%))
Go to root of document
 1. Go to parent
 2. Go to parent
 3. Go to parent
 (repeat 10 times or however deep your deepest nodes are)
Create a note and a wikilink to the note in one go
this is basically what Obsidian does with [[new note]] when you click it
 1. Copy link to Note
 2. Go to end of item
 3. Enter
 4. Paste
 5. Go to start of item
 6. Up
 7. Move item
 8. Paste "The deep item you want to store all your new wikilinked notes in"
 9. Enter
 10. Enter
4 Likes
For Linux: Autokey
Could you expand a little one your last example?
Some topics are big, so I don't like the nested list taking up the visual space in my main work area, so I link to the node instead. The hotkey transforms the text into a link to a new node, buried somewhere else. Same idea as linking a non-existant page in Notion or Obsidian, but I wanted the same paradigm in Dynalist too. As you can see the link has no child nodes, so it doesn't take up much visual space in the main area when I expand-all.

Traditional Chinese Funeral Arrangements
On the passing away of the father, the eldest son becomes the head of the family. If the eldest son passes away, his second brother does not assume leadership of the family. Leadership passes to the eldest son of the eldest son or the grandson of the father. He must assume the responsibilities and duties to the ancestors on behalf of the family.
Form of the Funeral Ceremony
There are two main traditions that are observed:
1. The funeral ceremony, which traditionally lasts over 49 days, the first seven days being the most important. Prayers are said every seven days for 49 days if the family can afford it. If the family is in poor circumstances, the period may be shortened to from 3 to 7 days. Usually, it is the responsibility of the daughters to bear the funeral expenses. The head of the family should be present for, at least the first and, possibly the second, prayer ceremony. The number of ceremonies conducted is dependent on the financial situation of the family. The head of the family should also be present for the burial or the cremation.
2. In the second tradition, the prayer ceremony is held every 10 days. The initial ceremony and three succeeding periods of ten days until the final burial or cremation.
After 100 days a final prayer ceremony is conducted, but such a ceremony is optional and not as important as the initial ceremonies.
In the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism, to which most Chinese Buddhists subscribe, it is believed that between death and rebirth there is an intermediate period – called Antarabhava in Sanskrit, or the Bardo in Tibetan. It is an important period which has an influence on the form that the rebirth shall take. If the family ensures that proper assistance in the form of prayer and remembrance ceremonies are duly performed, the departed is better able to take a favourable rebirth.
