Taking vaccines against diseases
Taking vaccines against diseases 1
Are vaccines allowed in Islam? Some scholars in Pakistan are inciting the people against getting their children vaccinated for polio. They say that according to the Shariah we are commanded not to go to a place where disease exists and quote evidence from the Hadeeth "Flee from the leper as you would flee the lion", but are not allowed to use medicine before an ailment has occurred. Many people accept their verdict and this is affecting the eradication of polio from Pakistan, as parents no longer allow the government sent doctors to vaccinate their children. Please give a clear verdict on this.
It is permissible to take vaccinations against diseases and that it is a kind of seeking treatment. Going to vaccination places is not exposing oneself to contagious diseases and this is not contradicting the Prophetic narration which reads: Run away from the leprous as you run from the lion.[Al-Bukhari] Rather, the narration proves that seeking protection against the disease is legislated. Ibn Al-Qayyim said: The Prophet permitted seeking protection against contagious diseases.
Vaccinating against some diseases is seeking protection against them, so it is permissible. Therefore, one should not refrain from vaccinating unless it is proven by trustworthy doctors that a given vaccination has more disadvantages than benefits, as in this case it is not permissible to vaccinate because the Prophet said: There should be no harm and no reciprocal harm.[Ahmad and Ibn Maajah]
Allaah Knows best.

Religioossed motiivid „Rooma päevikus" ja „Hingede öös". Võrdlevaid tähelepanekuid / Religious motifs in Roman Diary and All Souls' Night: comparative observations
This article examines the symmetry between two novels by Karl Ristikivi (1912–1977), All Souls' Night (1953) and Roman Diary (1976). The poetic and structural landmarks in the configuration of All Souls' Night are compared to their counterparts in Roman Diary. These are discussed under the keywords spatial shift, spiritual guidance, widows, sepulchral monuments, and judgement. The most significant conclusion of the analysis is that all the listed motifs that first appear in All Souls' Night, acquire a powerfully religious tone in Roman Diary. The protagonist's existential crisis in All Souls' Night has been supplanted in Roman Diary by the narrator's religious rebirth. In All Souls' Night, the first-person protagonist's main problem is existential – the difficulties of life and living. In this very personal work, veiled with symbols, Ristikivi tries to come to grips with the shattered reality where he must live the rest of his life. In Roman Diary, the first-person protagonist is no longer facing life, but death. His reality is more visionary and brimming with references to the beyond. Questions about death and the afterlife are more important than anxieties about existence and life, and the afterlife is, understandably, linked to religion and faith, particularly to Christianity. Death is seen as one's most direct way of communication with God, and Roman Diary tries to make sense of both faith and death. The faith of a living person, the common attribute of Ristikivi's idealistic characters who want to make things right in the world, turns into a faith of a dying person. In Roman Diary, his last novel, Ristikivi deals primarily with a metaphysical world and the afterlife. The article also examines Roman Diary's close relationship to Ristikivi's other works and to works by other authors mentioned in the novel. In the article author's opinion, the primary element linking these works is the process of unification and nationbuilding throughout European history, a significant theme in all of Ristikivi's works. Numerous characters from his earlier works appear in Roman Diary. Many of Ristikivi's characters are unifiers and/or maintainers of stability. Ristikivi's yearning to write about a unified Europe was related to his personal fate as a refugee and his trauma of homelessness.

Alabama DUI Look Back Period
Question: What Is a Look Back Period? What Is the Look Back Period for a DUI in Alabama?
Answer: In DUI jurisprudence, the look back period is the term used in how far back a sentencing court can look at a person's record to determine the number of prior DUI convictions they have to then be used to increase the person's sentence if they're convicted or plead guilty. In Alabama, the current law as of July 2018 says that a court can look back ten (10) years for mandatory sentence enhancement; however, a sentencing court can look at a person's entire lifetime record from a discretionary standpoint. In terms of the look back period, you go by the date of conviction not by the date of arrest to determine the number of convictions within the look back period. → Right-click here to download the audio for this question.

Linear measurements in surveying can be performed by mainly three methods namely direct method, electromagnetic methods and optical methods. The direct method is the common method that employs a chain, tape or any other instrument to measure the linear distance.
Also Read: - Electromagnetic Methods in Surveying
Various methods coming under the direct method of linear measurement are:
- Linear Measurement by Pacing
- Linear Measurement by Passometer
- Linear Measurement by Pedometer
- Linear Measurement by Odometer and speedometer
- Linear Measurement by Chaining
The pacing technique is mostly employed in preliminary surveys and explorations. In this method, the surveyor is required to conduct a rough survey quickly. This also roughly check the distance measured by other means.
In this method, the number of paces between the two points of the line is counted. Knowing the average length of the pace helps to know the length of the line. The length of the pace is dependent on the person who is measuring, the ground, the speed of pacing and the slope of the country.
By walking on an approximate level ground over various lines of known lengths helps to determine the length of one's natural step. Performing pacing over rough ground or on slopes is a difficult process.
The passometer is a watch like instrument that is carried on the person's pocket or tied on the man's leg. This instrument records the paces when the man moves from one point to another.
This technique hence overcomes the monotony and strain in counting the paces by the surveyor. The distance is calculated as the product of the number of paces and the average length of the pace.
Pedometer is a similar device like passometer that automatically measures the distance. A pedometer is best in measuring the vertical distances.
Odometer is an instrument that measures the number of revolutions of a wheel. The number of revolutions taken to cover the length multiplied by the circumference of the wheel gives the value of the distance covered.
This instrument does not provide accurate results on an undulating surface. When the surface is smooth, the speedometer used in the vehicles can be used.
Chaining method determines the distance by means of a tape or a chain. This is one of the accurate methods to determine the linear measurements. The chain is used for ordinary precision. Tape or a special bar is used to measure distance with high precision.

Mars schools lauded for AYP
January 23, 2013
ADAMS TWP — Four schools in the Mars School District will display Keystone Achievement Awards for earning Adequate Yearly Progress for two consecutive years, The primary center, the elementary school, Centennial school and the middle school attained AYP in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years. The Keystone Achievement Awards, which are sponsored by state Department of Education and the Pennsylvania Association of Federal Program Coordinators, recognize the efforts and commitment of educators and students across the state. Matt Friedman, assistant superintendent and director of curriculum, said that the awards are a result of hardworking students, parents who value education, dedicated teachers, and a school board that affords administrators and teachers the opportunities they need to excel. "Those four things will help us continue down that path," Friedman said. Board President Dayle Ferguson echoed Friedman's sentiments. "As AYP requirements continue to rise, we are so proud of our students and their efforts, our parents for their support, and the teachers and administrators who help our students achieve at high levels every day," Ferguson said. She acknowledged that Mars High School failed to meet AYP, but said that district staff would work hard for that school to meet the benchmark in the future. "We will work diligently on areas that need improvement," Ferguson said.

Bringing a historic castle back from obscurity
Henry VIII ordered the building of Sandsfoot Castle – and its partner across the water, Portland Castle – in around 1539, to jointly protect the waters of Portland Roads against the threat of foreign invasion. Standing on the cliff edge, the castle has been under attack from coastal erosion ever since it was built. Most of the ashlar stone has been lost to local building projects and thieves, and the castle has been closed to the public since the 1930s, when it was deemed unsafe.
With the aim of re-opening the castle up to the public, this project was part-funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and consisted of conservation treatment to the stonework and the insertion of a new lightweight walkway around the interior.
The stone conservation work was carried out in lime mortars, with small-scale reinforcement and supporting interventions to conserve the castle as found. Soft cappings were installed on the wall tops as an alternative to the existing cement cappings.
The walkway is designed to be a lightweight element, sitting elegantly within the ruined castle at the level of the former floor. It touches the castle fabric in as few places as possible, with fallen ashlar stones used as padstones. The continuous timber handrail provides a comfortable place to lean, and interpretation panels along the way tell the history of the castle.
As a result of the work, Sandsfoot was taken off English Heritage's Buildings at Risk Register and is now open to the public.

Introduction
The term Diagrid is a portmanteau of 'diagonal grid' and is a technique typically used for constructing large steel buildings by creating external triangular structures with horizontal support rings. The diagonal members intersect each other and the horizontal rings at a single node. The members combine to create an element similar to a moment frame. In a Diagrid structure, gravity and lateral loads are resisted by all of the members, creating efficiency and large amounts of structural redundancy. A Diagrid structure effectively creates a rigid shell which can be thought of as a very thin, deep beam.
Some noteworthy examples of buildings that have the Diagrid incorporated are The Swiss Re building in London known as The Gherkin, The Hearst Tower in New York, The CCTV Headquarters in Beijing, The West tower in Guangzhou, The Capital Gate in Abu Dhabi.
The Diagrid systems are the evolution of braced tube structures, since the perimeter configuration still holds for preserving the maximum bending resistance and rigidity, while, with respect to the braced tube, the mega-diagonal members are diffusely spread over the facade, giving rise to closely spaced diagonal elements and allowing for the complete elimination of the conventional vertical columns. Therefore the diagonal members in Diagrid structures act both as inclined columns and as bracing elements, and carry gravity loads as well as lateral forces, due to their triangulated configuration, mainly internal axial forces arise in the members, thus minimising the shear effects. To begin with the behaviour of basic Diagrid module is discussed, followed by construction process. Then the advantages and disadvantages of Diagrids are listed.
The History of the Diagrid
Although the Diagrid is now seen as a modern new technology in the construction industry, the Diagrid is not necessarily a new concept. The Diagrid concept may not have been primarily related to buildings, the ideas and structural inherent found with Diagrids can be seen in the early forms of aviation. In terms of buildings it is still not a recent idea however many buildings from many years ago that have incorporated the diagrid system ended in colossal failures these where often parking buildings.
Figure 1: Diagrid technology used in other formats
The Triangular Module Diagrid
Diagrid structure is modelled as a beam, and subdivided longitudinally into modules according to this repetitive diagonal pattern. Each Diagrid module is defined by a single level of diagonals that extend over stories.
Module Geometry
Diagrid structures, like all the tubular configurations, utilise the overall building plan dimension for counteracting overturning moment and providing flexural rigidity through axial action in the diagonals, which acts as inclined columns. However, this potential bending efficiency of tubular configuration is never fully achievable, due to shear deformations that arise in the building "webs". Diagrid systems, which provide shear resistance and rigidity by means of axial action in the diagonal members, rather than bending moment in beams and columns, allows for a nearly full exploitation of bending resistance. The Diagrid being a triangulated configuration of structural members, the geometry of the single module plays a major role in the internal axial force distribution, as well as in global shear and bending rigidity to the building structure. While a module angle equal to 35° ensures the maximum shear rigidity to the Diagrid system, the maximum engagement of diagonal members for bending stiffness corresponds to an angle value of 90°, i.e. vertical columns. Thus in Diagrid systems, where vertical columns are completely eliminated and both shear and bending stiffness must be provided by diagonals, a balance between this two conflicting requirements should be searched for defining the optimal angle of the Diagrid module. Usually Isosceles triangular geometry is used....

Build configurations provide a way to store multiple versions of solution and project properties. The active configuration can be quickly accessed and changed, allowing you to easily build multiple configurations of the same project.
By default, and projects created with Visual Studio include Debug and Release configurations. Debug configurations are automatically configured for debugging an application, and Release configurations are configured for the final release of an application. For more information, see How to: Set Debug and Release Configurations. You can also create and edit your own custom solution and project configurations to meet the needs of your application. For more information, see How to: Create and Edit Configurations.
Two levels of build configurations can be defined in Visual Studio: solution configurations and project configurations.
A solution configuration specifies how the projects in a solution are to be built and (if enabled) deployed. To define a new solution configuration, open the Configuration Manager Dialog Box and select New from the Active solution configuration list.
Each entry in a solution configuration includes a project name, a configuration setting, a platform setting, a build setting, and (if enabled) a deploy setting. The combination of solution configuration and solution platform settings chosen determines the project configuration that will be used. For more information on solution platforms, see Build Platforms.
You can create any number of solution configurations, each with a unique name. The Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE) automatically assigns solution configurations whenever you:
Add a project platform with Create new solution platforms selected.
Add a project configuration with Create new solution configurations selected.
Add a new project that will be deployed on multiple platforms, one of which is new.
Solution configurations also provide general project context information to the IDE. For example, if the active solution configuration specifies that a project will be built for a mobile device, the Toolbox will display only project items that can be used in a mobile device project while you are working on that project.
The project configuration and project platform are used together to specify the properties to use when building the project. A project can have a set of defined project properties for every unique combination of a configuration and platform. Project properties are edited with the Project Designer. Certain panes in the Project Designer contain dropdown lists that indicate the curent project configuration and platform combination.
You can define the configuration-dependent properties in each project configuration as needed. Project properties can be used to determine, for example, which project items will be included in a particular build, what output files will be created, where the output files will be put, and how they will be optimized.
Project configurations can differ considerably. The properties of one project configuration might, for example, specify that its output file be optimized so that the resulting binary occupies the minimum space, while another project might be optimized such that its executable runs at the maximum speed.
Project configurations are not stored by user, but by solution, so that they can be shared by a team. Although project dependencies are configuration-independent, only those projects specified in the active solution configuration will be built.
When you build a solution, Visual Studio uses the active solution configuration, which specifies the project configurations to use for each project to be built. You can change the active configuration directly from Solution Configurations drop-down list in the Standard toolbar, or from the Configuration Manager Dialog Box dialog box.
If you cannot find solution configuration settings on the Standard toolbar or cannot access the Configuration Manager, you may have Visual Basic developer settings applied. For more information, see How to: Manage Build Configurations with Visual Basic Developer Settings Applied.
When you create a new solution configuration (rather than copy one that already exists), the IDE determines the default project configurations for the projects it will build using the following selection criteria for each project (evaluated in this order):
The new solution configuration will build a project configuration whose name exactly matches its own. Configuration names are not case sensitive.
If there is no exact name match, the new solution configuration will build a project configuration whose name matches the configuration portion of its name, whether or not the platform portion also matches. (Remember that the naming convention is .)
If there is still no match, the new solution configuration will build the first configuration listed for a project.
When you create a project configuration and select Create new solution configurations, the IDE looks for an appropriately named solution configuration to build the project on each platform it supports. In some cases, the IDE will rename existing solution configurations or create new ones.
The IDE determines how to assign solution configurations using the following selection criteria:
If a project configuration does not specify a platform or specifies a single platform, then a solution configuration whose name matches that of the new project configuration will either be found or added. In this case, the name of this default solution configuration does not include a platform name; it takes the form .
If a project supports multiple platforms, a solution configuration is found or added for each project configuration to build each project on each platform it supports. The name of each solution configuration includes both the project configuration name and the platform name; it takes the form .

text: Many products and processes have multidimensional characteristics and criteria. As these responses involve common parameters and processes, the response data are correlated. The quality and reliability improvement of such products and processes will typically involve multiple-response optimizations to find optimal operating conditions. Many of the current multiple-response optimization approaches assume a single-response uncertainty in the response models, and the uncertainty in the parameter estimates of the models. In this paper, we consider a Bayesian Model Average (BMA) approach to the modeling and optimization of variability of the predictions and the uncertainty of the model parameters. We further propose a Mahalanobis distance (MD) approach to account for the correlations among the response and the variation in the estimation of the response model.

- By contrast the average savings ratio in the past 54 years is 9.2% of disposable income.
2017 has seen a dramatic fall in the UK savings ratio to a record low. This fall in the savings ratio has been caused by
- Fall in real wages
- Depreciation in Sterling post-Brexit – pushing up cost of living and contributing to fall in real wages
- To maintain spending, consumers have borrowed and dipped into savings
- Temporary factors (high tax payments on dividends)

Saving ratio and base interest rates
In theory, lower interest rates reduce the incentive to save. But, the interest rate is only one of many factors influencing decisions to save. The most important factor is the state of the economy. In 2009, we saw a rapid rise in the saving rate because of the recession – despite interest rates cut to zero.

2017 saw sharp drop in saving levels
Savings ratio since 1963
In the post war period, the UK savings ratio was on an upward trend. Between 1964 and the early 1980s, we see a long-term rise. There was a peak in the recession of 1980/81.
However, between 1992 and 2008 (in a period known as the great moderation), the saving ratio fell to an all time low of 4.6%.
At the start of the credit crunch and recession of 2008-10, the saving ratio rose rapidly as consumers became more risk averse and wanted to pay off debts and increase savings. This rise in the saving ratio contributed to a fall in consumer spending and negative economic growth.
The sharp fall in real GDP in 2008/09 mirrored the sharp rise in the savings ratio.
The concern is that economic growth post-2012 is partly driven by a falling saving ratio, that is unsustainable without a rise in real wages.
Saving ratio in 2008-12 recession
The saving ratio in the 2008-12 recession didn't rise as much as during the 1990-92 recession. This is because:
- In the 1991-92 recession, interest rates were much higher (reaching a peak of 15%). Since 2009, interest rates have fallen to 0.5%. Therefore, from the perspective of interest rates there is a lower incentive to save in 2012
- The 2008-12 recession has caused a bigger long term squeeze on real incomes (due to higher tax, rising energy prices and falling real wages). Therefore, people have had less room to increase savings and pay off debt. They have been struggling to meet bills and so they don't have the same luxury of increasing saving.
Fall in savings ratio since 2010
Since 2010 Q1, the savings ratio has fallen significantly from 11.8% to 4.7% Q2 2015. This is partly due to stagnant real wages, though there are hopes that the recent rise in real incomes will translate into higher savings ratio.
Saving ratio v net financial wealth
Reasons for a fall in savings ratio during _PHONE_
- Availability of credit until 2007 encouraged people to take out loans.
- Rising House prices encouraged people to borrow because of their positive wealth effect. Home-owners could re-mortgage
- Cultural / social trends encouraging an attitude of borrowing and spending. See: Problem of Personal Debt
- Low-Interest rates. E.g. in 1991-92 interest rates were over 12%. In 2000s interest rates fell to 3%. Interest rates are currently 4.5% and less than inflation. This negative real interest rate discourages saving.
Note: There was also a fall in the savings rate in the Lawson boom of the 1980s
Why do saving ratios tend to rise in a recession?
- In a recession, people worry about unemployment and so are likely to be more cautious about borrowing and spending. If you fear unemployment, you don't want to be saddled with debt repayments on a new car. People tend to delay big purchases during economic uncertainty. Saving ratios rose during a recession such as 1991-92 and 2008-12.
- Banks are trying to improve their balance sheets by attracting more deposits and lending less. It is often hard to get a loan during a recession.
- During 2008-12 real interest rates were often negative which, in theory, reduces the incentive to save. However, low real interest rates can be outweighed by more important factors, such as the fear of being made unemployed. In other words, people are saving more – despite poor return from saving.
Saving ratio and the paradox of thrift
The paradox of thrift is the idea that if everyone saves at once, it can cause macro-economic problems (i.e. recession). From an individual perspective, it makes sense to save and pay off debts in a recession. But, if everyone pursues the same course of higher saving, it causes a fall in aggregate demand.
See: Paradox of thrift
Savings ratio and fiscal policy
In a recession, a sharp rise in the savings ratio means that consumer spending will fall significantly. In Keynesian economics, this is a reason for the government to borrow and increase spending. The logic is
- If the saving ratio rises, government spending needs to take the place of private sector spending and investment. Otherwise, the recession will be deeper.
- If the saving ratio rises, the private sector has more available funds to purchase government bonds.
Benefits of a higher saving ratio
A rapid rise in the savings ratio can cause a fall in aggregate demand and recession. However, in the long term, a higher savings ratio is often considered to help promote more sustainable economic growth.
Higher savings enables more private sector investment. Many see this level of investment as a key factor in determining the long term economic growth rate.
Problems of low savings ratio
A very low savings ratio can indicate:
- Unbalanced economy with over-reliance on consumer spending.
- Build up of personal debt.
- Current account deficit, (with imports greater than exports.)
Since 2010, the fall in the savings ratio has occurred during a widening of the current account deficit.
- Paying off debt and savings
- Difference between saving and investment
- Paradox of saving – why people save more when they say it is a bad time to save
- Definition of disposable income
(1) The ONS define the savings ratio (NRJS) – Households' saving as a percentage of total available households' resources.
(2) The saving ratio is subject to be revised at a later date.

The Shukhov radio tower (Russian: Шуховская башня), also known as the Shabolovka tower, is a broadcasting tower in Moscow designed by Vladimir Shukhov. The 160-metre-high free-standing steel diagrid structure was built in the period 1920–1922, during the Russian Civil War. It is a hyperboloid structure (hyperbolic steel gridshell).
Due to its diagrid structure, the steel shell of the Shukhov Tower experiences minimum wind load (the main hazard for high-rising buildings). The tower sections are single-cavity hyperboloids of rotation made of straight beams, the ends of which rest against circular foundations.
The tower is located a few kilometres south of the Moscow Kremlin, but is not accessible to tourists. The street address of the tower is "Shabolovskaya Street, 37", hence the tower's informal name "Shabolovka, 37".

Configuring Record-Keeping Server Peers for Plug-Ins (C-Web Interface)

An RKS peer is an instance of a record-keeping server. A PCMM environment has a primary RKS and optionally a secondary RKS. The primary RKS is mandatory, and you assign the RKS as primary by configuring it as the default peer in the RKS plug-in. The secondary RKS is optional, and it is an RKS peer that is not configured as the default peer. If you define multiple nondefault peers, one of them is randomly chosen to be the secondary RKS.
RKS peers are configured in the peer group for each PCMM RKS plug-in instance. To create an RKS peer group:
 1. Click Configure, expand Shared>SAE, and then expand the SAE group for which you want to create RKS plug-ins.
 2. In the side pane, expand Configuration>Plug Ins.
 3. Expand the plug-in that you created for RKS, and then click PCMM RKS.
 4. Enter information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply.

Red Building Where The Sun Sets,produced by Syed Sultan Ahmed and Tabassum Modi,has won the National Award for the Best Film on Family Values,in the Non Feature film category. Director Revathy says,Most children are witness to parents arguments. It is not uncommon but it is important to give children the security of love and home and make them realise that arguments between people are normal and it will not shake their world. This message is important especially these days when our life outside our homes is so much under pressure and so we bring our tensions back home. Red Building Where the Sun Sets is a film from the childs point of view and his reaction to the fights his parents have day in and day out.
Talking over the phone,the director added,The film has been produced by the Bengaluru-based organisation Edu Media. They make films in a genre called School Cinema targetting students and parents. In the last couple of years they have made over 50 such short films. These are shown in schools.
Though excited about the award,Revathy is also happy about the response that the film is garnering. We showed it at the Goa festival and the response was good. The film was discussed. So what are the plans that Revathy has about getting it across to people? The film is not for the masses; its for a particular section. Its for parents of kids in the seven to nine age group. We are showing it to parents,screening the film in schools and also planning to get it uploaded on YouTube, said Revathy,who understands very well that short films dont get across to people as they should and hence these plans should work out in favour of her film.
When asked what she is planning next,Revathy,who has directed films like Mitr My Friend and Phir Milenge,says, I am coming up with a feature film in Hindi and am working on that right now.
Red Building Where the Sun Sets has Anu Hassan,Sunil Vishnu,Abhay Nanda and Dhritiman Chatterjee in the cast and features cinematography by Alphonse Roy,script by Suresh Triveni and Priya Venkatraman,music by Amartya Rahut and editing by James J Valiakulathil.

Need this equivalent outcome on PostgreSQL on this MySQL query.
select id, 'ID1' from supportContacts
Idea is to Join a Column with table name and row values equals to ID1.
Executing the same query on PostgreSQL gives the desired row values but gives?column? uknown as column name.
Which PostgreSQL query will give the exact output?

Add a column alias to assign a name of your choosing. Else the system applies defaults.
To assign a type, use an explicit cast. I cast to text here:
SELECT id, 'ID1'::text AS "ID1" FROM supportContacts
Or use the SQL standard cast() to make it portable:
SELECT id, cast('ID1' AS varchar) AS "ID1" FROM "supportContacts"
For portability, make sure that MySQL runs with SET sql_mode = 'ANSI'.
Also, unquoted CaMeL-case names like supportContacts are cast to lower case in PostgreSQL. Use "supportContacts" or supportcontacts depending on the actual table name.
Start by reading the excellent manual here for basics about identifiers.

In order to effectively solve the problems of low prediction accuracy and calculation efficiency of existing methods for estimating economic loss in a subway station engineering project due to rainstorm flooding, a new intelligent prediction model is developed using the sparrow search algorithm (SSA), the least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and the mean impact value (MIV) method. First, in this study, 11 input variables are determined from the disaster loss rate and asset value, and a complete method is provided for acquiring and processing data of all variables. Then, the SSA method, with strong optimization ability, fast convergence and few parameters, is used to optimize the kernel function and the penalty factor parameters of the LSSVM. Finally, the MIV is used to identify the important input variables, so as to reduce the predicted input variables and achieve higher calculation accuracy. In addition, 45 station projects in China were selected for empirical analysis. The empirical results revealed that the linear correlation between the 11 input variables and output variables was weak, which demonstrated the necessity of adopting nonlinear analysis methods such as the LSSVM. Compared with other forecasting methods, such as the multiple regression analysis, the backpropagation neural network (BPNN), the BPNN optimized by the particle swarm optimization, the BPNN optimized by the SSA, the LSSVM, the LSSVM optimized by the genetic algorithm, the PSO-LSSVM and the LSSVM optimized by the Grey Wolf Optimizer, the model proposed in this paper had higher accuracy and stability and was effectively used for forecasting economic loss in subway station engineering projects due to rainstorms.

The plant to the left is French Lavender. There seems to be some disagreement over its scientific name. I have found references to Lavandula angustifolia and to Lavandula stœchas, both of which are called French Lavender. I am not sure if these are supposed to be the same plant or not. No matter. The name cassidony is or was once applied to one or all of these. Here is what the online OED has to say about the word.
Etymology: Of uncertain etymology: suggestions are that it is the same word as cassidoine n.1, or of the same derivation.
(Skinner's guess that it might be a corruption of *Stœchas sidonius labours under the fatal objection that no such name is known.)


return value of load functions as if it was a bool: if (doc.load_file("file.xml")) { … } else { … }. Otherwise you can use the status member to get parsing status, or the description() member function to get the status in a string form.
This is an example of handling loading errors (samples/load_error_handling.cpp):
pugi::xml_document doc;
pugi::xml_parse_result result = doc.load_string(source);
if (result)
 std::cout << "XML [" << source << "] parsed without errors, attr value: [" << doc.child("node").attribute("attr").value() << "]\n\n";
 std::cout << "XML [" << source << "] parsed with errors, attr value: [" << doc.child("node").attribute("attr").value() << "]\n";
 std::cout << "Error description: " << result.description() << "\n";
 std::cout << "Error offset: " << result.offset << " (error at [..." << (source + result.offset) << "]\n\n";
Sometimes XML data should be loaded from some other source than file, i.e. HTTP URL; also you may want to load XML data from file using non-standard functions, i.e. to use your virtual file system facilities or to load XML from gzip-compressed files. These scenarios either require loading document from memory, in which case you should prepare a contiguous memory block with all XML data and to pass it to one of buffer loading functions, or loading document from C++ IOstream, in which case you should provide an object which implements std::istream or std::wistream interface.
There are different functions for loading document from memory; they treat the passed buffer as either an immutable one (load_buffer), a mutable buffer which is owned by the caller (load_buffer_inplace), or a mutable buffer which ownership belongs to pugixml (load_buffer_inplace_own). There is also a simple helper function, xml_document::load, for cases when you want to load the XML document from null-terminated character string.
This is an example of loading XML document from memory using one of these functions (samples/load_memory.cpp); read the sample code for more examples:
const char source[] = "0 0 1 1";
size_t size = sizeof(source);
// You can use load_buffer_inplace to load document from mutable memory block; the block's lifetime must exceed that of document
char* buffer = new char[size];
memcpy(buffer, source, size);
// The block can be allocated by any method; the block is modified during parsing
pugi::xml_parse_result result = doc.load_buffer_inplace(buffer, size);
// You have to destroy the block yourself after the document is no longer used
delete[] buffer;
This is a simple example of loading XML document from file using streams (samples/load_stream.cpp); read the sample code for more complex examples involving wide streams and locales:
std::ifstream stream("weekly-utf-8.xml");
pugi::xml_parse_result result = doc.load(stream);
Accessing document data
pugixml features an extensive interface for getting various types of data from the document and for traversing the document. You can use various accessors to get node/attribute data, you can traverse the child node/attribute lists via accessors or iterators, you can do depth-first traversals with xml_tree_walker objects, and you can use XPath for complex data-driven queries.
You can get node or attribute name via name() accessor, and value via value() accessor. Note that both functions never return null pointers - they either return a string with the relevant content, or an empty string if name/value is absent or if the handle is null. Also there are two notable things for reading values:
 - It is common to store data as text contents of some node - i.e. This is a node. In this case, node does not have a value, but instead has a child of type node_pcdata with value "This is a node". pugixml provides child_value() and text() helper functions to parse such data.
 - In many cases attribute values have types that are not strings - i.e. an attribute may always contain values that should be treated as integers, despite the fact that they are represented as strings in XML. pugixml provides several accessors that convert attribute value to some other type.
This is an example of using these functions (samples/traverse_base.cpp):
for (pugi::xml_node tool = tools.child("Tool"); tool; tool = tool.next_sibling("Tool"))
 std::cout << "Tool " << tool.attribute("Filename").value();
 std::cout << ": AllowRemote " << tool.attribute("AllowRemote").as_bool();
 std::cout << ", Timeout " << tool.attribute("Timeout").as_int();
 std::cout << ", Description '" << tool.child_value("Description") << "'\n";
Since a lot of document traversal consists of finding the node/attribute with the correct name, there are special functions for that purpose. For example, child("Tool") returns the first node which has the name "Tool", or null handle if there is no such node. This is an example of using such functions (samples/traverse_base.cpp):
std::cout << "Tool for *.dae generation: " << tools.find_child_by_attribute("Tool", "OutputFileMasks", "*.dae").attribute("Filename").value() << "\n";
Child node lists and attribute lists are simply double-linked lists; while you can use previous_sibling/next_sibling and other such functions for iteration, pugixml additionally provides node and attribute iterators, so that you can treat nodes as containers of other nodes or attributes. All iterators are bidirectional and support all usual iterator operations. The iterators are invalidated if the node/attribute objects they're pointing to are removed from the tree; adding nodes/attributes does not invalidate any iterators.
Here is an example of using iterators for document traversal (samples/traverse_iter.cpp):
for (pugi::xml_node_iterator it = tools.begin(); it!= tools.end(); ++it)
 std::cout << "Tool:";
 for (pugi::xml_attribute_iterator ait = it->attributes_begin(); ait!= it->attributes_end(); ++ait)
 std::cout << " " << ait->name() << "=" << ait->value();
 std::cout << std::endl;
If your C++ compiler supports range-based for-loop (this is a C++11 feature, at the time of writing it's supported by Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Beta, GCC 4.6 and Clang 3.0), you can use it to enumerate nodes/attributes. Additional helpers are provided to support this; note that they are also compatible with Boost Foreach, and possibly other pre-C++11 foreach facilities.
Here is an example of using C++11 range-based for loop for document traversal (samples/traverse_rangefor.cpp):
for (pugi::xml_node tool: tools.children("Tool"))
 std::cout << "Tool:";
 for (pugi::xml_attribute attr: tool.attributes())
 std::cout << " " << << "=" << attr.value();
 for (pugi::xml_node child: tool.children())
 std::cout << ", child " <<;
 std::cout << std::endl;
The methods described above allow traversal of immediate children of some node; if you want to do a deep tree traversal, you'll have to do it via a recursive function or some equivalent method. However, pugixml provides a helper for depth-first traversal of a subtree. In order to use it, you have to implement xml_tree_walker interface and to call traverse function.
This is an example of traversing tree hierarchy with xml_tree_walker (samples/traverse_walker.cpp):
struct simple_walker: pugi::xml_tree_walker
 virtual bool for_each(pugi::xml_node& node)
 for (int i = 0; i < depth(); ++i) std::cout << " "; // indentation
 std::cout << node_types[node.type()] << ": name='" << << "', value='" << node.value() << "'\n";
 return true; // continue traversal
simple_walker walker;
Finally, for complex queries often a higher-level DSL is needed. pugixml provides an implementation of XPath 1.0 language for such queries. The complete description of XPath usage can be found in the manual, but here are some examples:
pugi::xpath_node_set tools = doc.select_nodes("/Profile/Tools/Tool[_USER_='true' and _USER_='lastparam']");
std::cout << "Tools:\n";
for (pugi::xpath_node_set::const_iterator it = tools.begin(); it!= tools.end(); ++it)
 pugi::xpath_node node = *it;
 std::cout << node.node().attribute("Filename").value() << "\n";
pugi::xpath_node build_tool = doc.select_node("//Tool[contains(Description, 'build system')]");
if (build_tool)
 std::cout << "Build tool: " << build_tool.node().attribute("Filename").value() << "\n";
XPath functions throw xpath_exception objects on error; the sample above does not catch these exceptions.
Modifying document data
The document in pugixml is fully mutable: you can completely change the document structure and modify the data of nodes/attributes. All functions take care of memory management and structural integrity themselves, so they always result in structurally valid tree - however,

Reference/es_rb
struct es_rb is an opaque data structure representing a read-buffer. A read-buffer is used for buffered reading from a file descriptor. It is meant to be used as a wrapper over the read() system call:
It is inefficient to make repeated calls to read() to retrieve many small items of data. It is more efficient to read a large amount of data into a buffer and then partition and process that buffer piece by piece.
The read-buffer facilitates this by presenting a read()-like interface that can be called repeatedly for small items of data but which, under the covers, is only making a handful of read() system calls and buffering the results.
es_rb_new Construct a new read-buffer with respect to a file-descriptor.
es_rb_delete Destroy a read-buffer.
es_rb_read Read data from read-buffer into user-supplied buffer.
es_rb_reset Reset and switch read-buffer to read from a new file-descriptor.

Under the leadership of GEOTEST Ltd, the geotechnical, geological and hydrogeological foundations for the expansion and renovation of 31 kilometres of national road in the canton of Bern have been assessed.
The Swiss national roads are continuously and incrementally being renovated and widened on behalf of the Federal Roads Office FEDRO. For the planning stage of the three most recent sections (N1: Wankdorf to Schönbühl, Schönbühl to Kirchberg / N8: Spiez to Interlaken West), GEOTEST designed the foundations for the planned measures, concepts for the maintenance, and is supervising the implementation.
A comprehensive probing concept was necessary for the baseline survey. On the N1, various bridges had to be widened for the expansion, numerous retaining walls had to be replaced and newly built, and many associated measures, such as slope cuts and noise protection walls, had to be planned. For this purpose, the geotechnical-geological and hydrogeological foundations were surveyed directly on and alongside the national road and summarised in more than 60 structure-specific reports with technical construction-related conclusions and recommendations.
The section of the N8 along Lake Thun includes the hydrogeological-geotechnical ground work for the stability assessment of over 50 structures and retaining walls. In addition, in the section between Faulensee and Leissigen-West, local subsidence of the road has occurred repeatedly for years as a result of the underlying gypsum karst. Using a combination of pile driving, core drilling and geophysical methods (georadar and hybrid seismics), the rock surface and critical structures under the busy national road were localised. In this way, a geological model of the subsurface was created that can be used to localise karst cavities in the subsurface. Future renovation measures can thus be planned and implemented in a more targeted and economical manner.
For the survey of the geotechnical limiting factors, a total of 94 core drillings, 240 pile driving probes, and over 100 laboratory analyses were planned, supervised and evaluated for the three sections of the N1 and N8.


Roman Terracotta Oil Lamp with a Peacock
A Roman terracotta oil lamp with a volute nozzle and a concave, decorated discuss. Within its centre is a large bird, a peacock with its tail feathers furled. The bird can be defined as a peacock due to the artist's attempt to create the eyespots so familiar to this birds plumage.
This discus is surrounded by three deeply incised concentric circles. The base is marked also with an incised circle. There is also a makers mark to the reverse, consisting of a single indented stroke.
Date: Circa 1st century AD
Condition: Very fine. Burn mark to the nozzle and some encrustation.
SKU: AH-682 Category: Tag:
The peacock was often associated with the Roman goddess Juno, considered her sacred bird. It was said that the queen of the Roman gods flew across the skies in a peacock driven chariot. There are various associations between the deity and the bird, including the myth by Ovid in Metamorphoses, Book 1. The myth recounts that, Io daughter of Inachus, had fallen victim to Jupiter's attentions. Trying to keep her safe, Jupiter turns Io into a white heifer of the purest form. Juno, seeing the wondrous and beautiful animal claimed it for herself. She placed it under the protection of Argus Panoptes ('All Seeing'), the many-eyed giant. In his efforts to claim Io back, Jupiter sent the messenger god Mercury to retrieve her. Mercury lulls Argus asleep with his music and kills the giant, stealing Io away. In response Juno places the many eyes of the fallen giant upon her favourite bird, the peacock, as commemoration.
The incuse mark on the reverse has been used on other lamps, dated to the 1st century and a specific workshop, operating in both Italy and North Africa.

Converting Part objects to Meshes
Converting higher-level objects such as Part shapes into simpler objects such as meshes is a pretty simple operation, where all faces of a Part object get triangulated. The result of that triangulation (tessellation) is then used to construct a mesh: (let's assume our document contains one part object)
#let's assume our document contains one part object
import Mesh
faces = []
shape = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.Shape
triangles = shape.tessellate(1) # the number represents the precision of the tessellation)
for tri in triangles[1]:
 face = []
 for i in range(3):
 vindex = tri[i]
 face.append(triangles[0][vindex])
 faces.append(face)
m = Mesh.Mesh(faces)
Mesh.show(m)
Sometimes the triangulation of certain faces offered by OpenCascade is quite ugly. If the face has a rectangular parameter space and doesn't contain any holes or other trimming curves you can also create a mesh on your own:
import Mesh
def makeMeshFromFace(u,v,face):
 (a,b,c,d)=face.ParameterRange
 pts=[]
 for j in range(v):
 for i in range(u):
 s=1.0/(u-1)*(i*b+(u-1-i)*a)
 t=1.0/(v-1)*(j*d+(v-1-j)*c)
 pts.append(face.valueAt(s,t))
 mesh=Mesh.Mesh()
 for j in range(v-1):
 for i in range(u-1):
 mesh.addFacet(pts[u*j+i],pts[u*j+i+1],pts[u*(j+1)+i])

Converting Meshes to Part objects
Converting Meshes to Part objects is an extremely important operation in CAD work, because very often you receive 3D data in mesh format from other people or outputted from other applications. Meshes are very practical to represent free-form geometry and big visual scenes, as it is very lightweight, but for CAD we generally prefer higher-level objects that carry much more information, such as the idea of solid, or faces made of curves instead of triangles.
Converting meshes to those higher-level objects (handled by the Part Module in FreeCAD) is not an easy operation. Meshes can be made of thousands of triangles (for example when generated by a 3D scanner), and having solids made of the same number of faces would be extremely heavy to manipulate. So you generally want to optimize the object when converting.
FreeCAD currently offers two methods to convert Meshes to Part objects. The first method is a simple, direct conversion, without any optimization:
import Mesh,Part
mesh = Mesh.createTorus()
shape = Part.Shape()
shape.makeShapeFromMesh(mesh.Topology,0.05) # the second arg is the tolerance for sewing
solid = Part.makeSolid(shape)
Part.show(solid)
The second method offers the possibility to consider mesh facets coplanar when the angle between them is under a certain value. This allows to build much simpler shapes: (let's assume our document contains one Mesh object)
# let's assume our document contains one Mesh object
import Mesh,Part,MeshPart
faces = []
mesh = App.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject.Mesh
segments = mesh.getPlanes(0.00001) # use rather strict tolerance here

for i in segments:
 if len(i) > 0:
 # a segment can have inner holes
 wires = MeshPart.wireFromSegment(mesh, i)
 # we assume that the exterior boundary is that one with the biggest bounding box
 if len(wires) > 0:
 ext=None
 max_length=0
 for i in wires:
 if i.BoundBox.DiagonalLength > max_length:
 max_length = i.BoundBox.DiagonalLength
 ext = i
 wires.remove(ext)
 # all interior wires mark a hole and must reverse their orientation, otherwise Part.Face fails
 for i in wires:
 i.reverse()
 # make sure that the exterior wires comes as first in the lsit
 wires.insert(0, ext)
 faces.append(Part.Face(wires))
shell=Part.Compound(faces)
Part.show(shell)
#solid = Part.Solid(Part.Shell(faces))
#Part.show(solid)

Highland Necropolis.jpg
Present day Highland Necropolis.
The Highland Necropolis is a city inhabited by the undead and demons, teeming with Dark Chi emanating from the Sealed Palace. The gateway to the city is closed off and closely guarded by the Snapjaw Tribe to prevent the darkness from spreading outside of the city.
Previously, the city was known as Highland Central, a central hub of the southern Eastern Continent and home to Prince Sogun and Princess Solaan. Thirty years prior, the Prince Sogun attempted to perform the Divine Mandate Ritual in order to become the next Stratus Emperor. However, the ritual was incorrectly performed, opening a gate to the Dark Realm. The Sacred Beasts of the Moonwater Plains arrived to fight the darkness while Stratus Director General Doyung attempts to rescue the citizens. The city quickly became a lost cause and the plan turned to keeping the Dark Chi contained to the city. All infected citizens and soldiers were swiftly killed and travel outside the city was closed off. By the time the Four Guardians arrived, all that could be done was to seal the darkness away into the Highland Palace. It would still periodically trickle Dark Chi into the city which the Snapjaw Tribe would perpetually have to fight off.
Current Timeline
Many lost and undead souls still wander the Necropolis along with creatures created by the Dark Chi. Anything within the city becomes corrupted from spiders and scorpions, to bats and Soul Wardens who enter the city to help. Even normal objects like swords, plates, and books turn into creatures called Dokkaebi.
The hero manages to quell a large part of the darkness by freeing General Doyung's soul.

array_partition
Provides a helper function to split an array into N number of evenly distributed partitions (i.e. split a list into N columns)
This plugin provides the PHP function c2c_array_partition() to split an array into any number of sub-arrays, suitable for creating evenly distributed, vertically filled "columns". Also known as "chunking" or "partitioning".
For example:
$topics = array( "aardvark", "bear", "cat", "dog", "emu", "fox", "gnu", "hippo", "ibis", "jackal" );
print_r( c2c_array_partition( $topics, 4 ) );
Yields:
Array
(
 [0] => Array
 (
 [0] => ant
 [1] => bear
 [2] => cat
 )
 [1] => Array
 (
 [0] => dog
 [1] => emu
 [2] => fox
 )
 [2] => Array
 (
 [0] => gnu
 [1] => hippo
 )
 [3] => Array
 (
 [0] => ibis
 [1] => jackal
 )
)
Note the array elements are distributed into the requested 4 "columns" as evenly as possible.
The function will fill as many partitions as requested, as long as there are enough elements in the array to do so. Any remaining unfilled partitions will be represented as empty arrays.
In contrast, using PHP's built-in array_chunk() as such:
print_r( array_chunk( $topics, 4 ) );
Yields:
Array
(
 [0] => Array
 (
 [0] => aardvark
 [1] => bear
 [2] => cat
 [3] => dog
 )
 [1] => Array
 (
 [0] => emu
 [1] => fox
 [2] => gnu
 [3] => hippo
 )
 [2] => Array
 (
 [0] => ibis
 [1] => jackal
 )
)
It can be sent an array of any data types or objects.

Why a Rechargeable Battery becomes Bloated
A rechargeable battery on a white background.
A rechargeable battery becomes bloated when the outer shell is broken due to extreme temperatures. Nickel-based batteries, such as NiCd and NiMh batteries, react especially poorly to very cold or very hot temperatures. The most common cause of rechargeable battery bloating, however, is when a rechargeable battery is overcharged and therefore exposed to too much heat. If you touch a battery charger right after use you will notice it is warm. The electric charge causes heat which can break the outer shell of a rechargeable battery. Lithium-based batteries, such as Li-Ion or lithium polymer batteries, are extremely susceptible to overheating due to overcharging.
Avoiding Overcharging
To avoid overcharging, and therefore bloating, make sure you are using the manufacturer's preferred battery charger. Lithium-based battery chargers have a timer mechanism that prevent overcharging. If this type of charger is not used the battery will overcharge and overheat. Trickle-chargers, though good for saving energy, are often incompatible with rechargeable batteries and, if used, can cause overheating. If a bloated battery is used the outer shell can crack completely, leaking toxic chemicals which can catch on fire or even explode.
Factory Mistakes
In the past there have been battery recalls for products whose batteries inadvertently bloat. If you purchase such a product, make sure to replace your battery before using the product again.

Alaska Residential Energy Rebates
(These programs are currently under development)
The Department of Energy (DOE) is currently developing guidelines for state administered "Home Energy Rebate" programs as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Once DOE has published its guidelines, AHFC will begin designing rebate programs that both follow DOE guidelines and take Alaska's unique needs and challenges into consideration. Upon DOE approval of Alaska's energy rebate programs, AHFC will implement and administer those programs. To receive updates as our rebate programs develop, please subscribe by providing your email in the box below:
The Department of Energy has published a tentative timeline, outlining their plan to solicit state operated residential energy rebate programs:
- Key stakeholder engagement activities guide content for Request for Information regarding rebate programs.
- Solicit public comment on the Request for Information.
- Receive and process information from the Request for Information.
- Publish guidance to states and Indian Tribes.
- States submit plans and applications for review and approval by Department of Energy.
- Funds distributed to state agencies to begin implementing their programs.
The Home Efficiency Rebate Program
will provide rebates for whole-house energy savings retrofits. Incentives for most households are $2,000 for 20% energy savings and $4,000 for 35% energy savings. The savings under this program are doubled for households with income below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
The Home Electrification And Appliance Rebate Program
will provide point-of-sale consumer discounts on the purchase of certain high-efficiency electric home appliances, along with certain home electrical upgrades, insulation, and air sealing. There is an income cap of 150% of the Area Median Income (AMI) to participate.
Editor's Note: Updated July 25, 2023 to reflect a change to the Department of Energy's tentative timeline.


The development of the temporal and nasal visual fields during infancy.
Abstract
We used static perimetry to measure the development of the monocular visual field during infancy. Infants from birth to 6 months of age, and adults, were shown a 3 or 6 degrees flashing light at various locations between 15 and 120 degrees in the temporal and nasal visual fields. We assumed that subjects could see a light if they moved their eyes toward it… (More)

Entity-Relationship Model
The prior section illustrated the relationships between the data model entities in terms of class inheritance. That perspective reveals how code is shared.
This section documents the direct relationships between data model entities. Depending upon your perspective, you might think of these references as "pointers", "foreign keys", or "references". For example, each document in the CourseInstance collection needs to refer to a specific Academic Term in which the course instance occurs, a specific student who has/is/will be taking the course, and a specific Course. These references are implemented via fields in the CourseInstance document that hold the docID to a document in the other entity's collection. So, each CourseInstance document has the following fields (among others): AcademicTermID, StudentID, and CourseID.
Users and Profiles
One of the more complicated representations in RadGrad is a user. (This is unfortunate, but the following complicated representation is the simplest one we could come up with that works effectively.)
Each user in RadGrad is represented in two ways. The first way is as a document in the Meteor Users collection. Meteor provides a built-in accounts package which we use for authentication and authorization which provides this Users collection. So, in order for someone to be able to login to RadGrad, they must exist as an entry in the Users collection. The Users collection has a very simple representation: each user has a username, which is their email address. In addition, each user has an email field, which is also their email address, and a roles field, which is managed by the standard Roles package.
RadGrad does not augment the documents in the User collection with all of the additional properties we need to know about users. Meteor does not recommend doing this, and after previous experience, we evolved to the current representation in which we keep a separate set of collections to manage the properties associated with users. Each RadGrad user must fall into one of five roles: Student, Faculty, Mentor, Advisor, or Admin. There is a "Profile" collection associated with each of the roles.
Because there are nine properties that every user has (username, firstName, lastName, role, picture, website, interestIDs, careerGoalIDs, and userID), RadGrad provides a class called BaseProfileCollection to manage these properties. This class is not shown in the above diagram. Instead, the four Profiles have the same initial nine properties. The MentorProfile and StudentProfile have some additional properties.
The ERD in the illustration only shows the relationships for the common properties shared across all profiles, i.e. the "base" profile. As you can see, every profile has a link back to the corresponding document in the Users collection for this user, as well as references to their CareerGoals and Interests. To find a profile given only the User document, you must search for the matching username in each of the four Profile collections.
Note: We are removing the Mentor role. Also we are changing the relationship between profiles and interests and career goals. We now have Favorite collections that map a user to an interest or career goal.
Courses
RadGrad represents courses through two entities: Course and CourseInstance.
Course represents academic term and student-independent information about a course.
CourseInstance represents the occurrence of a specific student taking a course for a specific academic term, either in the past, present, or future. If the CourseInstance is in the past, then typically it was created as a result of uploading STAR data, in which case both the fromRegistrar and verified booleans are set to true. A verified CourseInstance means that the student will earn ICE points.
CourseInstances in the present academic term or future academic term are typically created as a result of the student manipulating their degree plan. These CourseInstances have their fromRegistrar and verified booleans set to false.
Opportunities
In RadGrad, extracurricular events and activities are called "Opportunities", and are represented by three entities: Opportunity, OpportunityType, and OpportunityInstance.
OpportunityType specifies the kind of Opportunity: club, event, online course, etc.
Opportunity represents the opportunity "in the abstract", specifying its description, sponsor (i.e the faculty member responsible for managing the description and verifying student participation), the ICE points, the academic terms it might be available, etc.
OpportunityInstance represents an "instantiation" of the Opportunity in a specific academic term for a specific student. It also duplicates the ICE points and the sponsorID from the Opportunity. This enables an instance to depart from its parent Opportunity with respect to these values, and also speeds lookup.
Interests
The primary "connective tissue" in RadGrad is Interests. These are topical areas in the discipline. For computer science, example Interests might be "blockchain", "bioinformatics", "Java", and so forth. Interests are grouped together through the InterestType entity. Example InterestTypes might be "Club", "Research Project", etc.
This diagram indicates that:
 - All Users (represented by FavoriteInterest) have at least one Interest associated with them.
 - All Courses, Opportunities, Career Goals, and Teasers have at least one Interest associated with them.
 - Each Interest is associated with one and only one InterestType.
This representation enables RadGrad to associate entities based on Interests: the system can find Users with similar Interests, recommend Courses to Users based upon matching Interests, and so forth.
Slugs
"Slug" is a term commonly used in web application development to denote a unique string that can be used as part of a URL to identify a domain entity. To facilitate their use in URLs, slugs are generally lower case, and consist only of letters, numbers, and hyphens or underscores. For example, in RadGrad, the slug for the "Software Engineering" Interest might be "software-engineering".
In RadGrad, both slugs and the 14 character MongoDB document IDs uniquely identify documents. However, if you reset and reinitialize a RadGrad database, the document ID will be different, but its slug will stay the same.
Slugs are used heavily in RadGrad when initializing the database from a fixture file in order to represent relationships between different entities without reference to their docID. For example, here is an example invocation of the CareerGoals define method:
CareerGoals.define({ name: 'Database Administrator',
slug: 'database-administrator',
description: 'Wrangler of SQL.',
interests: ['application-development', 'software-engineering', 'databases'],
moreInformation: '_URL_ });
First, you can see that the slug "database-administrator" has been passed into the define method, so that this document can be referred to in future definitions by that string.
Second, the interests field contains an array of three slugs: "application-development", "software-engineering", "databases". Internally, the MongoDB document for this Database Administrator Career Goal will contain the 14 character document IDs for these interests, but we don't need to worry about that in the fixture file: we can just refer to the slugs.
RadGrad does not support forward referencing of Slugs. For example, when the above CareerGoal definition executes, if a Slug is referenced (such as "application-development") that is not defined, then an error is thrown. Thus, the order in which RadGrad data is loaded is important and there can be no circular dependencies among entity definitions.
Slugs form a unique namespace across all entities: you cannot use the same string to denote an Interest Slug and a CareerGoal slug, for example.
Here is an ERD that illustrates which entities use Slugs:
Other entities
There are a variety of other entities that are more peripheral in the data model or have a sufficiently simple structure to not warrant their own section. Here are several of the remaining entities:
 - CareerGoal. Career goals enable RadGrad to identify appropriate combinations of curricular and extracurricular activities to prepare a student for their professional life after graduation.
 - PublicStats. Provides the publically available data shown on the landing page.
 - Review. The review entities manage reviews of courses and opportunities.
 - Teaser. The teaser entities manage the YouTube videos shown in the system.
 - VerificationRequest. Manages the verification requests and responses in the system for opportunities.

I've been working on some artwork pieces that use text as predominate shapes in the work. I decided to try and work on these in Illustrator as I could affect the letter shapes more and they remain vector graphics.
However I really struggle with resizing wotk to a different print size or ttiling an image for repetition inIllustrator. If I place the image as a linked or embedded, it remains a smart object and is still a vector graphic, right? What happens if I start to scale it or otherwise adjust? Is it converted to a raster image
Maybe this will help you understand what is being done. All smarts object are not vector smart objects. Those that are vector smart object have Vector file object like .svg and .ai files. There are no vector in Photoshop for these layers. Those object are create and update using vector applications like Adobe Illustrator. Normally smart object layers are resize scaled via Interpolation. The exceptions are vector smart object those the smart object have vector file object these are processed using vector graph to render pixels for the scaled layer size. There are no vector in Photoshop for vector smart object. The vectors are in the object vector image file. The .svg or .ai file. Photoshop does not support vector image files formats. Photoshop is a pixel editor with some vector tools. Shape layers and text layers are vector layers. Photoshop can export vector .svg file for a shape layers. Only vector smart object layers and vector photoshop layer are scaled via vector graphics. You can Import vector file into Photoshop. However, they will be imported as a single raster layer there no vector in Photoshop for the imported image the layer is not a vector layer its an normal raster layer
So, if I make a file in Illustrator, and then in Photoshop, I "place linked" and select that .ai file, it is imported as avector smart object- correct? So then if I scale that layer, it scales as vector graphic, correct?

UIAccelerometer class lets you register to receive acceleration-related data from the onboard hardware. As a device moves, its hardware reports linear acceleration changes along the primary axes in three-dimensional space. You can use this data to detect both the current orientation of the device (relative to the ground) and any instantaneous changes to that orientation. You might use instantaneous changes as input to a game or to initiate some action in your application.
- iOS 2.0–5.0Deprecated
- Mac Catalyst 13.0–13.0Deprecated
You do not create accelerometer objects directly. Instead, you use the shared
UIAccelerometer object to specify the interval at which you want to receive events and then set its
delegate property. Upon assigning your delegate object, the accelerometer object begins delivering acceleration events to your delegate immediately at the specified interval. Events are always delivered on the main thread of your application.
The maximum frequency for accelerometer updates is based on the available hardware. You can request updates less frequently but cannot request them more frequently than the hardware maximum. Once you assign your delegate, however, updates are delivered regularly at the frequency you requested, whether or not the acceleration data actually changed. Your delegate is responsible for filtering out any unwanted updates and for ensuring that the amount of change is significant enough to warrant taking action.

As a sports bettor, you need to be aware that weather is a factor in the NHL playoffs. That seems like a ridiculous statement, but it's true. Bettors who are aware of the potential for weather issues in a game, and who can adjust accordingly, can give themselves a much needed edge as the playoffs progress and the remaining teams get better and better.
How does the weather affect the NHL playoffs? Quite simply, really. Rinks are designed to keep buildings at a suitable temperature so that ice can be consistent. For the most part they are able to maintain ice well, but there are two enemies to their efforts, and both come in the spring as the playoffs progress – heat and humidity. Because the doors open and close so much before a game it can be very hard for a building to control the temperature and humidity in the building. Both factors have the same basic impact on ice – it makes it much slower. When ice gets warmer or more humid then it gets softer, and that makes it harder to skate fast. Hard ice is fast ice, so soft ice slows things down and NHL handicappers need to keep this in mind..
There are further issues that can be caused. If the ice remains soft then it is also going to deteriorate more rapidly and more significantly. If they turn up the refrigeration and the air conditioning in an attempt to control the situation then there is a good chance that the problem can swing in the other direction and the ice can become brittle and also fragile. Either way, it is very hard for icemakers to maintain a good surface during the playoffs. This is even more of the case if they have to remove or cover the ice frequently – like if the building is also being used for the NBA playoffs.
When trying to determine whether the weather is going to be a factor in the playoffs and should be considered when preparing to bet there are four factors to keep in mind:
History of the building – It's far more likely that the ice is going to be a factor if it has been in the past. Some buildings have more problem than others – the southern arenas are often a problem because of their weather, for example. By looking back at what has happened in the past NHL handicappers can get a sense of whether something is likely to happen again.
Team speed – The more a hockey team relies on speed to get their edge, the more significantly it is going to be impacted by problems with the ice. There are some teams that look to move up the ice faster than their opponents can set up on defense, and which try to get back on defense as quickly as they can. A team that is particularly fast is hard for an opponent to play against at the best of times, but that difficulty can be particularly significant later in the NHL playoffs if they have the stamina to maintain their speed because their opponents will be getting tired and more worn down. Soft ice could serve to slow down the team and minimize their edge. The betting public is more likely to focus on the edge their speed gives than the challenges of the conditions, so savvy sports bettors could find value.
Passing aggressiveness – Some teams rely on longer breakaway passes in an attempt to create opportunities and mismatches. Others prefer shorter, puck controlling passes. If the condition of the ice is suspect then those longer passes are higher risk. Teams could fail to complete those passes effectively, or they could be forced to alter their game away form what has got them to where they are. A team that is less aggressive with their passing – or less reliant on aggressive passing for their success – could be a more attractive bet if the weather is likely to be an issue.
Familiarity with ice issues – NHL handicappers need to realize that a team like Edmonton is going to be far less familiar with dealing with softening ice and the issues it brings than one like Tampa Bay. If those two teams were playing each other in the playoffs then they would both have to deal with the same conditions, but Tampa would clearly be better suited to adapting and adjusting than Edmonton would. Teams on the east coast would be better at dealing with humidity and the effects than a team from somewhere like Calgary or Denver where humidity isn't often an issue. Use these facts when handicapping and betting on the NHL playoffs.
