Q. Iam a bipolar and presently on tegretol medication.I found this to be the best way to get my doubt clarified. I am a bipolar and presently on tegretol medication. My doctor frequently changes the meds and he has tried variety of medicines before prescribing tegretol. He changes the meds every time when I visit him for routine check-up. I am bit confused and obviously cannot question my doctor as I repose faith and confidence in him. I found this to be the best way to get my doubt clarified.
A. Are you being treated by your GP? I would suggest if you are having trouble finding the right combinations it might be a good time to ask to be referred to a Psychaitrist. GP's will do their best but like anything specialized they only have a certain amount of knowledge and a specialist in the field could be more help. I also think that other treatments along with The medications like theropy and group theropy, excercise, good diet, plenty of sleep etc helps a lot too... Try to be patient it is a process to get everything in place that will work the best for you... everyone is different and the .mmedications and treatments that work for one may not work for another...

Financial Disclosure by Physicians Builds Patient Trust
Nearly three-quarters report feeling more loyalty because of disclosure
MONDAY, March 27 (HealthDay News) -- Patients who are explicitly informed about how their physicians are compensated feel they have a better grip on money's impact on their health care and trust their doctors more, according to a study in the March 27 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
Steven D. Pearson, M.D., of Harvard Medical School in Boston, and colleagues surveyed 8,000 patients at group practices in Boston and Los Angeles three months after half the patients got financial disclosure letters from the groups' chief medical officer.
Patients who got disclosures better understood their physician's compensation (odds ratio 2.30 in Boston and 1.37 in Los Angeles). About one-third of those in each city felt confident they could assess its impact on their medical care, compared with 17.8 percent in Boston and 26.4 percent in Los Angeles who did not get letters.
Twenty-one percent of those in Boston and 24.4 percent of those in Los Angeles who remembered getting letters reported a greater trust in their physicians, while nearly three-quarters of those in both cities felt more loyalty to them as a result.
"Patients' trust in their physicians was unharmed, and their loyalty to their physician group was strengthened," the authors write. "For physician groups with similar compensation programs, disclosure to patients should be considered an effective method to enhance the patient-physician relationship."

Why is My Light Switch Hot?
If one or more of the light switches in your home are warm or hot to the touch, it's usually a sign there's too much electrical power running through it. There are several reasons why this happens.
When a Light Switch Feels Warm
One of the most common electrical questions we get asked is if it's normal for a light switch to feel warm.
It's perfectly normal for light switches, particularly dimmers, to feel a little warm when the lights are on. The warmth you feel comes from an electrical component called the triac (triode for alternating current) which varies the amount of electricity that passes through to the light fixture. If the dimmer switch is dedicated to a single bulb, or a load of 100 watts or so, you might feel a little heat. Once the load gets above 300 watts, though, it's not unusual for the heat to be more noticeable.
When a Light Switch is Hot
If a light switch is too hot to touch, it's likely a more serious problem. The top three reasons this happens are:
 - The switch is overloaded. Just like wall outlets, light switches are limited in how much power they can handle. Different switches are rated for different power levels and if the switch is overloaded there's a serious risk of fire. The switch should be replaced with one that's designed to handle the amps a fixture requires.
 - The switch is failing. Light switches wear out and when this happens small sparks on the electrical contacts are emitted when the light is turned on or off. Over time, the contacts don't meet properly and electricity flows more freely, creating heat. This, too, is a fire hazard.
 - Faulty or improper wire installation. Even if the wiring was professionally installed, it can become loose or broken due to age. These bad connections can then cause the wiring to spark and generate heat. They can also bottleneck the current flow, which also gives off heat. Faulty wiring should always be replaced by an experienced, licensed electrician.
When to Call For Help
There are electrical problems you can usually fix yourself but, as electrical work can be dangerous, it's almost always recommended to call in a professional. Along with a hot light switch, it's a good idea to call in the pros if:
 - The lights dim when using a major appliance or when the HVAC unit goes on.
 - One socket of an electrical outlet's not working.
 - A light switch doesn't solidly connect in the on or off position.
 - You have an old "fuse" system in your home.
A qualified electrician will also check to make sure your home's electrical panel is able to safely handle powering everything in your home.
Hot light switches in your Jacksonville home can usually be easily and quickly fixed, but you should never ignore the problem as it could indicate a bigger electrical issue. To learn more or to schedule a home electrical inspection, contact one of the qualified and skilled electricians at David Gray Electrical Services today. You can also call us at _PHONE_.

Turning plastic into foam to combat pollution
Researchers have developed a method to turn biodegradable plastic knives, spoons, and forks into a foam that can be used as insulation in walls or in flotation devices. The investigators placed the cutlery into a chamber filled with carbon dioxide. As pressure increased, the gas dissolved into the plastic. When they suddenly released the pressure in the chamber, the carbon dioxide expanded within the plastic, creating foaming.

In this article, we address the problem of target detection in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We formulate the target detection problem as a line-set intersection problem and use integral geometry to analytically characterize the probability of target detection for both stochastic and deterministic deployments. Compared to previous work, we analyze WSNs where sensors have heterogeneous sensing capabilities. For the stochastic case, we evaluate the probability that the target is detected by at least k sensors and compute the free path until the target is first detected. For the deterministic case, we show an analogy between the target detection problem and the problem of minimizing the average symbol error probability in 2D digital modulation schemes. Motivated by this analogy, we propose a heuristic sensor placement algorithm, called DATE, that makes use of well-known signal constellations for determining good WSN constellations. We also propose a heuristic called CDATE for connected WSN constellations, that yields high target detection probability.

GENOVA - Italy is waging war on a group of American invaders that are threatening the existence of their European peers. American grey squirrels, which were first introduced into Europe in 1948, have thrived in the parks of the northeastern region of Liguria since the 1960s.
With 10-inch-long bodies, equally long tails and a weight that can reach 21 oz., American grey squirrels are bigger than European red squirrels. These strong Americans invaders steal the Europeans food and carry diseases that are lethal to locals.
To defend the indigenous squirrel population, Liguria, Piemonte and Lombardia regions, as well as the Italian Environment ministry, have launched a project aimed at uprooting the estimated 300 American grey squirrels living in the Levante Genovese Park. The cost of the war against American squirrels nearly 2 million euros is partially covered by the European Union.
This squirrel war has its general, Andrea Balduzzi, a professor of natural sciences at the University of Genoa. At dawn, the professor and his student troops go after the invaders, armed with traps and cages. Once caught, the animals are transferred to vets to be sterilized before being released in natural parks. And it seems all is fair in love and war: squirrels caught outside the park are executed by euthanasia.

Should flowers be cut from garden garlic?
Consumer Q's is produced by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Gary W. Black, Commissioner.
<\Bz16>Question: The garlic I planted in my garden is now in bloom – a lavender ball of flowers. Someone has told me I need to cut these off to help the plant produce bigger bulbs. Is this true? I hope not, as they are pretty and the bees like them.
Answer: Some garlic growers cut off the emerging flower stalks, also called scapes, because they feel the flowers divert strength away from the developing bulbs. However, not all growers believe this, at least with some garlic varieties. You may want to experiment to find out what is best for the garlic you are growing.
Remember, the home garden is not always about maximizing production at every turn but is also about finding enjoyment and beauty. If you and the bees are enjoying the flowers, you can leave them be. You can also cut the flowers and put them in a flower arrangement. Some home gardeners even let the flower stalks dry and use them in dried flower arrangements.
Although yours are past this stage, some people like to cut off the scapes when they are young and tender and use them in the kitchen. They can be chopped into salads. They can also be sautéed or stir-fried with olive oil or tossed with oil, salt and seasonings and grilled. They can be chopped and sautéed with butter and mixed into mashed potatoes, summer squash or other vegetables.
If you do cut off the flower stalks, be sure to cut only the stalk and not the leaves. Like daffodils and other bulbs, the leaves are manufacturing food to nourish the bulb.

Q: I love gallberry honey but don't think I have ever seen a gallberry. What is it?
A: Gallberry (Ilex glabra) is a black-berried holly that is native to coastal areas from Nova Scotia to Florida and Texas. It is also known as inkberry. There is another native holly that usually goes by the common names "sweet gallberry" or "large gallberry." Its botanical name is Ilex coriacea, and it is native to coastal areas from Virginia to Florida and Texas. Honeybees working the copious flowers of either or both of these two species of holly are the source of the gallberry honey that you and so many others enjoy.
Another native holly that is the source of a delicious honey is the familiar American holly (Ilex opaca). Georgia honeybees and their keepers produce numerous varieties of honey. Try them all!

Q: What fertilizer is best for crepe myrtles?
A: There is no "best" fertilizer for crepe myrtles. Crepe myrtles generally don't have any special nutrient needs, and in most landscapes they thrive without any fertilizer.
If you need to fertilize your crepe myrtles, select one formulated for trees and shrubs and follow the instructions on the bag or box. There are different brands available. Avoid over-fertilization because it causes excess growth and reduced flowering. Excessive growth is also prone to powdery mildew. Use a light hand. Too little fertilizer is better than too much.

Pupil's Home Address
A pupil's home address is considered to be a residential property that is the child's only or main residence, and is either:
- owned by the child's parent(s) or the person with parental responsibility for the child; or
- leased to or rented by the child's parent(s) or the person with parental responsibility under a lease or written rental agreement of not less than twelve months duration
Evidence of ownership or rental agreement may be required, plus proof of permanent residence at the property concerned.
Where parents have shared responsibility for a child, and the child lives with both parents for part of the week then the main residence will be determined as the address where the child lives the majority of the week. Parents may be requested to supply documentary evidence to support the address used when offering places.
We measure from the address point of your home to the centre of the school (unless otherwise stated) using a computerised mapping system called Cartology.
Distances are in metres and are calculated on the basis of a straight line measurement. We consider this to be the fairest way to treat all applicants. It does not take into account walking, cycling, or driving routes.
Websites which provide a distance measuring facility do not measure home to school distances as defined by us and therefore will produce different measurements.
If you move house after you have submitted your preference form you should contact School Admissions and Pupil Placements who will advise if the change in circumstances can be considered. (See contact detail in the essential information section)

Lazy Loading Data with ListBox
The ListBox is a great control for showing users lists of data, even data with lots and lots of rows. But the ListBox, being a UI control, is not meant to also be a container for hundreds of thousands of rows of data. It can take noticeable amount of time to to populate and you end up with your data being duplicated because it exists in both the ListBox and the original source (file, database or other data structure).
One way to avoid this problem is to not actually load all the data at once. This is often a great idea because the user can't actually see all the data at once anyway. So why not only load the data they can actually see?
One way to do this is to use a ScrollBar to track the data the user wants to see and then to only load that data into the ListBox.
To demonstrate this, start by creating a simple class as a container for data. The class structure is like this:
Class ListData
 Property Num As Integer
 Property Value As Double
 Property Desc As String
End Class
On Window1, add a property that is an array of this class:
Data() As ListData
Now on Window1, add two Buttons, a Vertical Scroll Bar and a ListBox. Align the ScrollBar so that it is to the right of the ListBox and the same height and change its Allow Live Scrolling property to True (ON). Change the ListBox to have 3 columns using the Column Count property in the Inspector. In the Open event of the Window add 1 million elements to the Data array:
 For i As Integer = 1 To _PHONE_
 Var d As New ListData
 d.Num = i
 d.Value = Rnd()
 d.Desc = "Testing"
In the Action event of the 1st Button, add this code to load the entire 1 million element array into the ListBox:
Listbox1.HasVerticalScrollbar = True
ScrollBar1.Visible = False
For i As Integer = 0 To Data.LastRowIndex
 Listbox1.AddRow(Data(i).Num.ToString, Data(i).Value.ToString, Data(i).Desc)
Pretty standard stuff. Now in the 2nd Button's Action event add this code, which populates the ListBox only with the first 50 rows:
Listbox1.HasVerticalScrollbar = False
ScrollBar1.Visible = True
ScrollBar1.MinimumValue = 0
ScrollBar1.MaximumValue = Data.LastRowIndex
ScrollBar1.Value = 0
For i As Integer = 0 To 50
Lastly add the ValueChanged event to the ScrollBar with this code, which fetches 50 rows after the value of the ScrollBar:
For i As Integer = Me.Value To Me.Value + 50
 If i <= Data.LastRowIndex Then
 End If
Now go ahead and run the project. Click the first button to see how long it takes to populate the ListBox. It took my computer about 11 seconds. You can scroll around at a reasonable speed, although it's a bit unwieldy with that many rows. Another thing to note is that this uses about 750MB of RAM.
Now click the second button that does the lazy loading. It will show the first bunch of rows instantly. Use the scrollbar to display other rows and you'll see they are also displayed instantly even thought they are not technically in the ListBox. This also uses only about 110MB of RAM.
Now this is just a quick example (download here) and doesn't handle every situation, but you can certainly expand on it as needed. If you'd rather not create this yourself, another option is to try 3rd party ListBox or DataView controls which have this built-in. You can find some on our 3rd Party Product page:

Milwaukee's Harley-Davidson Museum
Pays Tribute to Black Riding Culture History
The Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee recently opened an exhibit exploring the evolution of the African American motorcycle culture. Through this exhibit that debuted in February, Harley-Davidson recognized the contributions of African Americans and riding clubs like the Buffalo Soldiers, who helped to create the Harley-Davidson motorcycling experience and culture. The exhibit is now open to the public where you can learn many things about blacks' relationships with Harley-Davidson and the black riding culture. No visit to Milwaukee is complete without visiting the Harley-Davidson Museum, where blacks are now honoured.
At the Harley-Davidson Museum you can learn about Benny Hardy, a black custom bike builder who helped to create what is considered one of the most famous motorcycles in the world, Captain America that was featured in the iconic motorcycle movie, Easy Rider. On hand for the opening of the Harley-Davidson Museum's tribute to black riding culture exhibit was Sugar Bear, a man who was taught by Hardy. He also customized his own chopper that was showcased in the main entrance to the museum for the black history exhibit.
Some of the early black riders who were a part of clubs like the Buffalo Soldiers, East Bay dragons and the Chosen Few were also on hand for the opening of the black history tribute. One early rider present was a man that goes by the name of P. Wee, a popular club leader who once had his own shop. "He said he never considered that he would be a part of Harley-Davidson history. He said he just loved the bikes and liked to ride." Attending this event also were a few female riders who were just as enthused about their Harleys as the men. They told us about the stereotypes they faced as women riders. Despite some of the stereotypes, women are still riding Harleys more and more, and loving it.
The Harley-Davidson Black History museum exhibit includes bikes, documents, photos and memorabilia of Harley-Davidson legendary riders like William B. Johnson, the first African American Harley-Davidson dealer and Bessie Stringfield, the first known African American woman to ride cross-country on a Harley motorcycle in the 1930s and 1940s all by herself. The black history exhibit gives bike enthusiasts and the general public a chance to connect with and understand the black riding culture. Through this exhibit African Americans get to see how they played a part in the history of Harley-Davidson.
The Harley-Davidson brand is indeed the bike of choice for many black riders still today. It is number one motor cycle in terms of sales and popularity among African Americans, who have been riding and forming clubs since motor cycles became popular. The legendary members as well as modern-day members seemed very proud of their Harley-Davidson bikes which many said they would not trade for the world. Some of the early riders have had as many as three or four bikes and still ride today.
"African Americans have influenced and helped shape motorcycle culture throughout our history. Riding culture is seen differently today because of their numerous contributions to it," said John Comissiong, director of African American outreach marketing, Harley-Davidson Motor Company. "We're number one in sales to African Americans, and not only are we very proud of our shared history, we're always looking for new stories to tell."
You can read stories about the black riding culture on Iron Elite, a community section of the Harley-Davidson website showcasing African American rider stories, motorcycle customization and legendary riders. On the site you can also view customized bikes and learn more about key African American motorcyclists who have made significant impacts on the sport of motorcycling. You can also visit the Harley-Davidson site to learn about events that the company supports like Atlantic Beach Bike Week, Daytona Black Bike Week and the National Bikers Round-Up, where thousands of African American riders gather in the spirit of true riding culture.
About the Harley-Davidson Museum
The Harley-Davidson Museum is a reflection of American history and pop culture through the lens of a true American icon and brand.

What is the DEC Environmental Dispute Resolution Program?
The Environmental Dispute Resolution Program, which is overseen by the DEC Office of Hearings and Mediation Services, was begun in 1996. This program uses a consensus-based process in which a mediator helps parties who are involved in an environmental dispute reach a mutually acceptable decision. The mediator does not make any decision about the case. The results of the structured negotiation are up to the parties.

Is the GM 8 speed transmission good?
The benefit of having a GM 8 speed transmission resulted in a 10 percent better gas mileage due to the transmission staying in the better RPM power band and not shifting into a more gas consuming gear compared to the older six speed transmission which was replaced.
Does 2016 Chevy Silverado have transmission problems?
Of the Silverado's nearly 500 NHTSA complaints, 76 have to do with the power train. Among these complaints, we can see a clear pattern in drivers reporting major transmission problems, and even total transmission failure, at just under, or just over, 100,000 miles.
What is the GM 8 speed transmission called?
GM 8L90 transmission
The 8L90 is an eight-speed automatic transmission built by General Motors. It is designed for use in longitudinal engine applications either attached to the front-located engine with a standard bell housing or in the rear of the car adjacent to the differential (as in the Corvette).
What year did GM start using 8 speed transmission?
The 8-Speed GM Transmission The 8L90 was introduced in 2014 in vehicles like the Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra pickups, the GMC Denali, the Corvette and Camaro, and several Cadillac applications.
What year GM trucks have transmission problems?
The 2016 and 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500s are also infamous for transmission issues. These two are highly likely to surge and jerk or have your transmission fail outright.
Why do Chevy transmissions fail?
The issue can be faulty shift solenoid, low transmission fluid level, wiring problems, TCM, ECU, PCM software issues, TCC solenoid failed, TCC clutch worn out, bad TCC (Torque Converter Clutch) lockup, faulty brake pedal switch. The throttle position sensor may no longer send the correct electrical signal.
What transmission does a 2016 Silverado have?
2016 Chevrolet Silverado Offers 8-Speed Automatic with 5.3-Liter V-8.
What transmission is in 2016 Silverado 1500?

Ellandi: the UK's leading community shopping centre investor
Provision of an objective and clearly structured heritage impact assessment, with accompanying townscape visual impact assessment for Marlands Shopping Centre, a key location within Southampton, in the setting of a number of significant heritage assets, notably including its location adjacent to the grade II* listed civic centre.
The planning proposal is for the reconfiguration of existing space, together with provision of additional storeys of student accommodation on the existing shopping centre, which is to remain in its existing use.
We provided an objective baseline assessment of the existing context and followed a thorough approach (defined by Historic England and the Landscape Institute) to assess potential impact. We defined heritage sensitive design principles and worked with the architectural team to refine the scheme /mitigate impact. The HTVIA provided important guidance to the design process, in addition to providing a key document to engage with Southampton City Council and Historic England. Our work on the project demanded a thorough, objective and defensible methodology, which we have significant wider experience in, having undertaken a range of objective comparative assessments, including greenbelt appraisals.

NAME [Toc] [Back]
 mtune - default system tunable parameters
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
 The directory /var/sysgen/mtune contains information about all the system
 tunable parameters, including default values. The files in this
 directory should never be changed. Instead, use the systune(1M) utility
 to change parameters in the /var/sysgen/stune file.
 Each loadable module can have its own mtune file, which is placed in the
 mtune directory and has the same name as the module. Parameters in an
 mtune file may be grouped together in groups, according to the nature of
 the parameters. For example, all parameters dealing with the number of
 processes that can run on the system at any given time are grouped
 together in the numproc group in the kernel module. The syntax of an
 mtune module file is given below:
 [group_name: [flag]]
 parameter_clauses
 Names that end with a colon character, :, are group names. Parameters
 can be grouped together in groups so that one sanity checking function
 can be used to verify the values and the dependencies between these
 variables. The group name is optional if there is only one group in the
 module. For this case, the configuration tools use the module name as
 the group name.
 The group name is followed by a flag. The flag can be either run or
 static. If the flag is run, this group of tunable variables can be
 changed with the command systune on a running system. Otherwise, the
 variables are set at initialization time and can be changed only by
 creating a new kernel and booting that kernel. Modules with no group
 specifier or a group specifier without a flag default to static.
 Each tunable parameter is specified by a single line, a parameter clause,
 in the file. Blank lines and lines beginning with # or * are considered
 comments and are ignored. The syntax for each line is:
 name[,tag] default_value [[min_value [max_value [ll|LL]]
 name The name of the tunable parameter. It is used to pass
 the value to the system when a kernel is built or
 changed by systune command. Since this name is made
 into a global variable name, using a long descriptive
 name is useful to avoid any name collisions.
 tag This optional field is separated from name by a comma.
 It is used to qualify whether the tunable parameter
 should be used in the configuration being built. This
 allows a single tune file to be used in multiple
 different configurations. Parameters without any tag
 are always used, those with a tag are only used if the
 Page 1
mtune(4) mtune(4)
 tag matches one of the tags specified in the system file
 (see system(4)). Only one tag is permitted on a given
 line.
 default_value The default value of the tunable parameter. If the
 value is not specified in the stune file, this value is
 used when the system is built. This value is mandatory.
 min_value The minimum allowable value for the tunable parameter.
 If the parameter is set in the stune file, the lboot
 command checks that the new value is equal to or greater
 than this value. The command systune also verifies the
 new value against this value before changing the system.
 This field is optional; a value of 0 is equivalent to
 not specifying a value.
 max_value The maximum allowable value for the tunable parameter.
 If the parameter is set in the stune file, the lboot
 command checks that the new value is equal to or less
 than this value. The command systune also verifies the
 new value against this value before changing the system.
 This field is optional; a value of 0 is equivalent to
 not specifying a value.
 ll|LL By default, each tunable parameter is represented by an
 global variable in the kernel of type int (32 bits).
 Some tunable parameters may need to be specified as 64
 bit quantities. Adding an ll or LL to the end of the
 parameter specification causes lboot to represent the
 parameter as a long long.

Octopus Deploy Documentation
Build versions and packaging in Team Build
Last updated
Correctly versioning the packages you deploy with Octopus Deploy is important so the right version gets deployed at the right time. With Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server (TFS), specifying a package version isn't always straightforward.
This guide shows you how best to version your builds and packages in Azure DevOps and TFS, whether you're using OctoPack, or the Octopus Extension in the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Build numbers in Team Build
In Team Build (the build system in Azure DevOps and TFS), build numbers may be in a format that doesn't represent a valid SemVer number.
For example, Microsoft's Build Number format documentation gives an example: $(TeamProject)_$(BuildDefinitionName)_$(SourceBranchName)_$(Date:yyyyMMdd)$(Rev:.r) will result in a version number like Fabrikam_CIBuild_master_20090805.2.
While this is a valid Team Build build number, it can cause issues when trying to pack the build output into a NuGet package or zip file for Octopus.
Packages used by Octopus must conform to SemVer 1.0 or 2.0 depending on the version of Octopus you're using.
The link above explains versioning in detail, but in its simplest form it means two things:
 1. Numbered versions in 3 or 4 segments that can be interpreted as major.minor.patch, with an optional "prerelease tag" afterwards in the form -tag.
 2. Versions can be sorted predictably. For example, 1.2.3 is newer than 1.2.0.
As you can see, a package version of Fabrikam_CIBuild_master_20090805.2 won't be valid will cause issues!
Setting a SemVer-compliant build number
The recommendations below generally rely on the build number itself being SemVer compliant. To do this, you can change the build number format.
Our recommended build number format is: x.y.$(BuildID) where x and y are integers. You can change them when you want to bump a version. This format will produce a three-part version number like 1.2.350.
Recommended Build format
If you have a build for a separate branch, it's a good idea to add the version tag. For example: x.y.$(BuildID)-feature-1 will produce a version number like 1.2.350-feature1. Even better, you can use the $(Build.SourceBranchName) variable to set it to the branch name.
The only downside of this numbering format is the $(BuildID) variable always increases, and does so at the Project Collection level. That means it doesn't reset when you increment your major and minor versions, and if you have multiple builds in your Collection, numbers will be skipped.
Other extensions such as gitversion can also be used to easily get SemVer compliant build numbers.
Packaging in Team Build
There are two standard ways to package your build output in Team Build. The first is to use OctoPack, and the second is to use the build tasks in the Octopus marketplace extension.
You can mix and match these two methods. For example, you might prefer to use OctoPack and the /p:RunOctoPack MS Build argument, but then use the Push and Create Release tasks from the extension.
Octopack and.NET Core
Octopack is not compatible with.NET core and we suggest using the extension instead.
Versioning when using OctoPack
Unless told otherwise, OctoPack will attempt to set the package version itself. You can see exactly how it tries to find a version on this documentation page.
More often than not, the version number will come from the [assembly: AssemblyVersion] attribute found in the AssemblyInfo.cs file (usually in the Properties folder of your project).
The assembly version number doesn't always behave the way we want. It may not change, and if it does, it may not change sequentially.
Setting the AssemblyVersion number to x.y.* will fix the two most common problems here. A version like 1.0.* will result in an always-increasing version number.
 1. If the version number is fixed (e.g., Octopus will complain that the package number already exists.
 2. If the version number only changes "revision" number (e.g. 1.0.0.*), numbers can repeat.
One problem remains - particularly for web projects. If you only change content files, triggering a new build won't update the version number because Team Build realizes no compilable code has changed. OctoPack won't get a new version number!
OctoPack recommendation
To solve all these issues, we recommend using the /p:OctoPackPackageVersion argument when using OctoPack. This lets you specify the version directly, and you can use build variables to specify the version number.
 1. Set the build definition build number format (described above) to a valid SemVer version.
 2. Add the appropriate /p:OctoPackPackageVersion MSBuild argument:
 - In the new build engine (Azure DevOps and from TFS 2015 onwards): /p:OctoPackPackageVersion=$(Build.BuildNumber)
 - In the older XAML-based builds: /p:OctoPackPackageVersion=$(TF_BUILD_BUILDNUMBER). You may also need to do some extra work for certain build definitions.
You can use the additional MSBuild arguments for OctoPack to give yourself more control over the packaging process.
Versioning when using the Octopus build tasks
If you're using the new Octopus Deploy extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace, you'll have access to a new Package Application build task.
Package application build task
This task does not provide you with a default version number - this is something you have to set yourself. Clearly it wouldn't be feasible to change this value every time you do a build, so we recommend you make use of the build variables that Team Build provides.
Build and Release variables can be found in the Microsoft Documentation, but the more useful ones include:
 - $(Build.BuildNumber) - This is the full build number (see above for setting an appropriate format).
 - $(Build.BuildID) - This is a unique, incrementing ID at the Project collection level. Every new build will give you a new number.
 - $(Build.SourceBranchName) - this is the last path segment in the name of the branch. For example, a branch of refs/heads/master will return master.
Build task recommendation
There are two options we recommend for specifying a version number to the Package Application task.
 1. Use a combination of static values and variables directly. For example, 1.0.$(Build.BuildID) will always give you a new version number.
 2. Use the full build number, and format that number appropriately as described above.
We recommend the second option for a few reasons.
First, it's very easy to match the build to the package because they'll have the same number, and secondly, if you have multiple pack steps, you only need to change a single version number.
Specifying the files to pack and push
One of the frequent causes of issues when using the Octopus build tasks is properly specifying the folders to pack and the NuGet package to push. Especially if you're using the hosted build server, it can be hard to figure out where everything ends up when the build is running.
Rather than guessing, it can be helpful to specify these folders specifically. Again, there are some useful build variables you can make use of.
 - $(Build.SourcesDirectory) - the location of your source before it gets built.
 - $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) - A staging location for artifacts - useful for output files you want to use later (e.g. Nuget files).
 1. Use the /p:outdir= MSBuild argument in your compile step to specify where the compiled code should end up.
 2. In the Package Application step, put the location from step 1 into the Source Path field.
 3. In the Package Application step, put a new location into the Output Path field.
 4. In the Push Package(s) to Octopus step, specify the full path and filename from step 3 above.
By way of example, here's a nicely-configured set of build, pack, and push steps.

Privacy in Statistical Databases, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 7556
Georgia Southern University faculty member Anna Oganian co-authored "Hybrid Microdata via Model-Based Clustering" in Privacy in Statistical Databases.
Chapter Summary: In this paper we propose a new scheme for statistical disclosure limitation which can be classified as a hybrid method of protection, that is, a method that combines properties of perturbative and synthetic methods. This approach is based on model-based clustering with the subsequent synthesis of the records within each cluster. The novelty is that the clustering and synthesis methods have been carefully chosen to fit each other in view of reducing information loss. The model-based clustering tries to obtain clusters such that the within-cluster data distribution is approximately normal; then we can use a multivariate normal synthesizer for the local synthesis of data. In this way, some of the non-normal characteristics of the data are captured by the clustering, so that a simple synthesizer for normal data can be used within each cluster. Our method is shown to be effective when compared to other disclosure limitation strategies.

Whilst we are primarily a Bird Club we are also very interested in non-bird records from offshore.
Most of our non-bird records relate to cetaceans - whales, dolphins and porpoises, and insects such as butterflies and moths. We also have records of fish, turtles and bats.
Identifying marine animals is often more difficult than identifying birds and wherever possible a brief sketch/description should be made of what is visible if identification is not certain. E.g. any white areas, shape of dorsal fin etc.
Some useful hints are provided by Caroline Weir, who verifies our marine animal observations. You can improve your identification by being familiar with what is and what isn't common in the North Sea. We have further information on the identification of cetaceans.
We welcome all insect reports - even though many are sent in dead! Butterflies and moths found dead should only be sent in to the Recorder if they cannot be identified offshore.
Initially, a photograph could be emailed to us to assist in identification. Colleagues at Aberdeen University can assist in the identification of specimens sent in or for whichphotographs have been emailed to us.
Occasionally, bats are found offshore - often alive. These cannot be sent onshore without following an established procedure.
Prof. Paul Racey of Aberdeen University has provided guidelines which should be adhered to in the event that a bat is found.
Bat records from offshore have provided useful information on the Nathusius' Pipistrelle - a species found primarily on the European mainland.

About Patrick Ferguson
Major Patrick Ferguson (1744 – October 7, 1780) was a Scottish officer in the British Army, early advocate of light infantry and designer of the Ferguson rifle. He is best known for his service in the 1780 military campaign of Charles Cornwallis, in which he aggressively recruited Loyalists and harshly treated Patriot sympathisers. His behaviour led to a militia uprising against him, and he was killed in the Battle of Kings Mountain, where he was the only regular army officer present from either side of the conflict. His body was mistreated in the aftermath of the battle by the victorious Patriot forces before burial.
Early life
Patrick Ferguson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on May 25 (Old Style)/June 4 (New Style) 1744, the second son and fourth child of advocate James Ferguson of Pitfour (who was raised to the judges' bench as a Senator of the College of Justice, so known as Lord Pitfour after 1764) and his wife Anne Murray, a sister of the literary patron Patrick Murray, 5th Lord Elibank.
Through his parents, he knew a number of major figures in the Scottish Enlightenment, including philosopher and historian David Hume, on whose recommendation he read Samuel Richardson's novel Clarissa when he was fifteen, and the dramatist John Home. He had a large number of first cousins through his mother's family: these included Sir William Pulteney, 5th Baronet, Commodore George Johnstone, and Sir James Murray (later Murray-Pulteney).
Seven Years' War
After returning home in 1772, he took part in light infantry training, coming to the attention of General Howe, and developed the Ferguson rifle, a breech-loading flintlock weapon based on Chaumette's earlier system.
American War of Independence
In 1777, he went to serve in the American War of Independence with his experimental rifle corps. However, after initial success, he was shot through the right elbow-joint at the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777. Shortly before, he had had the chance to shoot a prominent American officer, accompanied by another in distinctive hussar dress, but decided not to do so, as he had his back to him and was unaware of his presence. He was told in hospital by a surgeon, who had been speaking to some American casualties, that General Washington had been in the area at the time. Ferguson wrote that, even if the officer were him, he did not regret his decision. However, the officer's identity remains uncertain, and the presence of the aide in hussar dress has led to suggestions that he may have been Count Casimir Pulaski. For some months, he lived under threat of amputation, and also received news of his father's death. He eventually recovered, although his right arm was permanently crippled. He resumed his career in May 1778, under the command of Sir Henry Clinton.
In October 1778, he was sent to lead a raid to suppress privateers who had been seizing British ships and were based around the Little Egg Harbor River in what is known as the Battle of Chestnut Neck. Shortly after this raid, Ferguson was notified that a detachment of Pułaski's troops was located nearby. Ferguson marched his troops to the site of the infantry outpost, which comprised fifty men a short distance from the main encampment. At first light, Ferguson ordered the bayonet charge; only five of his quarry were taken alive in what was called the Little Egg Harbor massacre. Ferguson's own account (under the pen-name Egg-Shell) conveys his dismay at Pułaski's lack of preparations and lack of look-outs. Pułaski eventually led his mounted troops (Pułaski's Legion) forward, causing Ferguson to retreat to his boats minus a few men that had been captured.
After winning several victories over American forces, Cornwallis occupied Charlotte, North Carolina in the summer of 1780. He subsequently divided his army and gave command of one section to Ferguson. Ferguson's wing consisted of Loyalists he had recruited to fight for the British cause. When Ferguson publicly threatened to invade the mountains beyond the legal limit on westward settlement unless the colonists there abandoned the cause of American independence, the mountaineers organised an army to fight Ferguson at King's Pinnacle, an isolated ridge on the North Carolina-South Carolina border. On October 7, 1780 the two armies met in the famous Battle of Kings Mountain. The battle went badly for the Loyalists, and during the fighting, Ferguson was shot from his horse. He was dragged with his foot still in the saddle to the rebel side. When an American walked over for his surrender, he drew his pistol and shot the American as a last act of defiance. His corpse was found with eight musket holes in his body. The Patriots then stripped it of its clothes and urinated on it. He was buried near the site of his fall. It was claimed – according to Patriot accounts – that his corpse was ill-used before burial in an oxhide.
A lifelong bachelor, he was buried with one of his mistresses, 'Virginia Sal', who was also killed in the battle. In the 1920s the U.S. government erected a marker at his gravesite, which today is a part of the Kings Mountain National Military Park, a unit of the National Park Service.
Cultural references
In the 1835 novel Horse-Shoe Robinson by John Pendleton Kennedy, a historical romance set against the background of the Southern campaigns in the American War of Independence, Ferguson appears and interacts with the fictional characters in the book, en route to the climactic scene in which he is killed in the Battle of Kings Mountain.
In Louis L'amour's 1973 book The Ferguson Rifle, Ferguson stops by a poor family home on his way to the Battle of King's Mountain and kindly gives his personal copy of the Ferguson rifle to a boy who later carries it West. Ferguson is shown to be a gentleman who displays all the appropriate social graces to a lady (the boy's ill mother) and compassion to a family in need by giving up his personal firearm asking only that the boy keep it always, and never use it against the king. (p7)
In Steve Ressel's 2010 novel "State Of One", Ferguson is the main antagonist against James Pariah, a former soldier under Ferguson's command during the Battle of the Brandywine in 1777. Ferguson had been resurrected as a golem by the Leeds Witch with hopes of raising a golem army of similar soldiers, all armed with Ferguson rifles, to destroy the ratification of the US Constitution in September 1787. James Pariah cleaves to his old Ferguson rifle, sometimes referring to it as his wife, having modified it with special actions such as a spring-loaded knife in the stock.

The 12V solenoids have arrived and are operable from my current setup! I've written an arduino code in which the solenoid opens only when a voltage input passes a certain threshold. This means that, when the pressure sensor arrives, the system can be set up such that the voltage output from the sensor can operate the solenoid.
We are also trying to determine whether we can operate multiple arduino shields running different codes from the same arduino UNO board. Both shields use pins in common, so it may not be possible to run code to both at once. Does anyone know whether it might be possible to run two different codes to the shields, if it is done not simultaneously? For example, a code could be run to one shield to open the solenoid, then immediately after, another code could be run to the other shield (which operates a vacuum pump) to pump gas into the chamber? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Class MoMLChangeRequest
 - Direct Known Subclasses:
 OffsetMoMLChangeRequest
 public class MoMLChangeRequest
 extends ChangeRequest
 A mutation request specified in MoML. This class provides the preferred mechanism for implementing mutations on a model while it is executing. To use it, create an instance of this class, specifying MoML code as an argument to the constructor. Then queue the instance of this class with a composite entity by calling its requestChange() method.
 If a context is given to the constructor, then the MoML will be executed in that context. If that context has other objects that defer their MoML definitions to it (i.e., it is a class definition and there are instances of the class), then the MoML will also be executed in the context of those objects that defer to it. Thus, the change to a class will propagate to instances. If the context is (deeply) contained by another object that has objects that defer their MoML definitions to it, then the changes are also propagated to those objects. Thus, even when class definitions are nested within class definitions, a change within a class definition will propagate to all instances of the class(es).
 The parser used to implement the change will be the parser contained by a ParserAttribute of the top-level element of the context. If no context is given, or there is no ParserAttribute in its top level, then a new parser is created, and a new ParserAttribute is placed in the top level.
 Note that if a context is specified that is above a class definition, and a change within the class definition is made by referencing the contents of the class definition using dotted names, then the change will not propagate. Thus, changes should be made in the most specific context (lowest level in the hierarchy) possible.

 - Constructor Detail
 - MoMLChangeRequest
 public MoMLChangeRequest(java.lang.Object originator,
 java.lang.String request)
 Construct a mutation request. The originator is the source of the change request. Since no context is given, a new parser will be used, and it will create a new top level. A listener to changes will probably want to check the originator so that when it is notified of errors or successful completion of changes, it can tell whether the change is one it requested. Alternatively, it can call waitForCompletion(). All external references are assumed to be absolute URLs. Whenever possible, use a different constructor that specifies the base.
 Parameters:
 originator - The originator of the change request.
 request - The mutation request in MoML.
 - MoMLChangeRequest
 public MoMLChangeRequest(java.lang.Object originator,
 NamedObj context,
 java.lang.String request)
 Construct a mutation request to be executed in the specified context. The context is typically a Ptolemy II container, such as an entity, within which the objects specified by the MoML code will be placed. This method resets and uses a parser that is a static member of this class. A listener to changes will probably want to check the originator so that when it is notified of errors or successful completion of changes, it can tell whether the change is one it requested. Alternatively, it can call waitForCompletion(). All external references are assumed to be absolute URLs. Whenever possible, use a different constructor that specifies the base.
 Parameters:
 originator - The originator of the change request.
 context - The context in which to execute the MoML.
 request - The mutation request in MoML.
 - MoMLChangeRequest
 public MoMLChangeRequest(java.lang.Object originator,
 NamedObj context,
 java.lang.String request,
 java.net.URL base)
 Construct a mutation request to be executed in the specified context. The context is typically a Ptolemy II container, such as an entity, within which the objects specified by the MoML code will be placed. If the top-level containing the specified context has a ParserAttribute, then the parser associated with that attribute is used. Otherwise, a new parser is created, and set to be the top-level parser. A listener to changes will probably want to check the originator so that when it is notified of errors or successful completion of changes, it can tell whether the change is one it requested. Alternatively, it can call waitForCompletion(), although there is severe risk of deadlock when doing that.
 Parameters:
 originator - The originator of the change request.
 context - The context in which to execute the MoML.
 request - The mutation request in MoML.
 base - The URL relative to which external references should be resolved.
 - MoMLChangeRequest
 public MoMLChangeRequest(java.lang.Object originator,
 NamedObj context,
 java.lang.String request,
 boolean structural)
 Construct a mutation request to be executed in the specified context. The context is typically a Ptolemy II container, such as an entity, within which the objects specified by the MoML code will be placed. This method resets and uses a parser that is a static member of this class. This constructor also accepts a boolean argument to tell whether the change is structural. Non-structural changes do not require repainting.
 Parameters:
 originator - The originator of the change request.
 context - The context in which to execute the MoML.
 request - The mutation request in MoML.
 structural - Whether or not this is a structural change.
 - Method Detail
 - getContext
 public NamedObj getContext()
 Return the context specified in the constructor, or null if none was specified.
 Returns:
 The context.
 - getDeferredToParent
 @Deprecated
 public static NamedObj getDeferredToParent(NamedObj object)
 Deprecated.
 No longer needed; just use the specified object as a context.
 Return the first container, moving up the hierarchy, for which there are other objects that defer their MoML definitions to it. If there is no such container, then return null. If the specified object has other objects deferring to it, then return the specified object. NOTE: It used to be that the returned value of this method was the recommended context to specify to a constructor. This is no longer necessary. Propagation is automatically taken care of if the context is contained by a deferred-to parent. Thus, you should give the most immediate container that makes sense for the context. It is harmless, however, to use this method to get the context, so older code will work fine.
 Parameters:
 object - The NamedObj to which other objects defer their MoML definitions.
 Returns:
 An object that deeply contains this one, or null.
 - setUndoable
 public void setUndoable(boolean undoable)
 Set whether or not this change is undoable.
 Parameters:
 undoable - whether or not this change should be treated as an incremental change that is undoable
 - setMergeWithPreviousUndo
 public void setMergeWithPreviousUndo(boolean mergeWithPrevious)
 Set whether or not the undo from this change should be merged with the previous undoable change.
 Parameters:
 mergeWithPrevious - whether or not this change should be merged
 - setReportErrorsToHandler
 public void setReportErrorsToHandler(boolean report)
 Specify whether or not to report errors via the handler that is registered with the parser. The initial default is to not report errors to the registered handler. If this method is called with a true argument, errors will be reported to the registered handler. Note that in either case, if the handler returns ErrorHandler.CANCEL, then exceptions will be reported to any change listeners that are registered with this object via their changeFailed() method. If the handler returns ErrorHandler.CONTINUE, then the exception will not be reported to any change listeners and the change listener will think that the change succeeded.
 Parameters:
 report - False to disable error reporting.
 See Also:
 ErrorHandler
 - _execute
 protected void _execute()
 throws java.lang.Exception
 Execute the change by evaluating the request and propagating the request if appropriate.
 Specified by:
 _execute in class ChangeRequest
 Throws:
 java.lang.Exception - If an exception is thrown while evaluating the request.
 - _postParse
 protected void _postParse(MoMLParser parser)
 Do nothing. This is a strategy pattern method that is called by the _execute() method just after doing the parse. Subclasses may override this.
 Parameters:
 parser - The parser
 - _preParse
 protected void _preParse(MoMLParser parser)
 Do nothing. This is a strategy pattern method that is called by the _execute() method just before doing the parse. Subclasses may override this to do some setup of the parser.
 Parameters:
 parser - The parser

canine hemangiosarcoma cell growth and viability
Canine hemangiosarcoma (HSA) is a malignant neoplasm of the vascular endothelium, which affects millions of dogs. The molecular mechanisms leading to HSA are unknown, and no effective treatments exist. The aim of this project was to study the sphingosine 1-phosphate (s1p) signaling pathway in HSA for the first time. The hypothesis was to determine if increased s1p/s1p1 signaling plays an important role in HSA progression.

Generally, there are many reasons for overheating of bearings in automatic wire crimping machines. Among them, there are several common reasons. The wire crimping machine manufacturer introduce several reasons as below:
Because the axis of the axle and the axis of the mechanical equipment driven by the terminal machine are not on the same line, or because of the inaccurate processing, the inner circle of the bearing cap is eccentric, so that the bearing cap and the axle are friction with each other. Light bearings heat, serious smoke, large high-speed motors will soon rub red. At this time, the machine should be stopped immediately, otherwise the automatic terminal machine will be burnt down.
3. The unbalance of inner and outer rings of steel ball bearings is one of the causes of heating.
The unbalance of inner and outer rings of terminal machine may be caused by machining. Because the seat and cover of automatic terminal machine are processed separately, sometimes the bearing holes on the two end caps are not coaxial (that is, the center line is not on one line). In addition, poor assembly, uneven tightness of the screw on the end cover, dust and dirt on the stop, etc., may also make the inner and outer rings unbalanced. If the inner and outer rings of the bearing are unbalanced, the steel beads and the inner and outer rings will be scraped, and the friction will increase and heat up. If there is no other reason, wipe the nose clean and reinstall, screw tighten one by one in diagonal order. A small amount of errors in processing can be improved by gradual automatic adjustment.
4. Too much or too little lubricating oil is also the cause of heating.
Bearing is used for a long time, the internal lubricant gradually reduces, resulting in insufficient lubrication, increased friction loss, so that the bearing heating, long-term oil shortage operation will cause bearing damage. Too much oil or too thick oil can also cause bearing overheating. In addition, if the lubricating oil is mixed with hard impurities, the bearings are not cleaned, or the bearings are cleaned with dirty oil, so that there are sand particles and iron chips in the bearings, the mechanical friction of the bearings will be increased and the bearings will be heated, and the bearings will be easily damaged due to the role of impurities.

Jean-Louis Petit
Jean-Louis Petit (1674 – 1750)
Jean-Louis Petit (1674 – 1750) was a French surgeon and anatomist.
First postulated that 'carpal dislocations' were in fact fractures of the distal end of the radius
Inventor of the petit-type tourniquet to suspend circulation of blood quickly and easily while minimizing pain. Marked a transition in surgery from managing blood loss to preventing blood loss.
Petit was known for his surgical skill and his case reports of hemorrhage, lacrimal fistula, operation on the frenulum, treatise on bone diseases and his general treatise on surgical operations (on which he worked 12 years and which was finished after his death by F.D. Lesne)
Petit led a group surgeons of the Académie Royale de Chirurgie including Henri-François Le Dran. The team provided the first complete clinical descriptions of the extradural hematoma, contre-coup injury and the lucid interval post head injury.

Medical Eponyms
Colles fracture (1705)
Extra-articular fracture of the distal radius with dorsal angulation of the distal fragment. Frequently associated with an ulna styloid fracture and volar angulation of the fracture apex
Hippocrates described traumatic injuries about the wrist as dislocations. He defined four distinct directions of dislocations, and his influence extended for nearly 2000 years through the writings of Gallen, Palladius, Celsus, Duverney, and Fabricius.
The joint of the hand is dislocated either inward or outward, most frequently inward.
In 1705, Petit suggested that traumatic swelling and displacement at the wrist was as a result of a distal radius fracture rather than a luxation or dislocation as previously believed.
"A l'égard du déplacement selon sa longueur, je sçais que l'on peut le disputer dans la fracture d'un seul os: mais nous le prouverons ci-après d'une maniere à n'en pas douter"
Petit JL. De la fracture de l'avant bras 1705; 2: 115-126
"As to the displacing length-ways, I know it may be disputed in the fracture of one bone only: But I shall prove it hereafter so as to leave no Room to doubt it."
Petit JL. De la fracture de l'avant bras 1705; 2: 115-126
Petit-type tourniquet (1718)
1718 – Petit presented a new type of device for stopping blood flow at the Royal Scientific Academy in Paris. He attached a circular bandage to a screw and a leather pad in order to apply pressure to a specific point.
Deriving from the French word 'tourner', (to turn), Petit named his invention 'tourniquet'. This Petit-type tourniquet became the most commonly used tourniquet throughout the 1800s
The operator can control it itself without another person is obliged to keep it clamped and relax as we need it as quickly as desired; Finally he just compresses the vessels we want to compress, and gently compresses the other parties; which is a perfection that some ignorant regarded as a defect

PRIGG v. PENNSYLVANIA
The Pennsylvania legislature passed laws in 1788 and 1826 prohibiting the removal of Negroes out of the state for the purpose of enslaving them. In 1832, a black woman named Margaret Morgan moved from Maryland to Pennsylvania. Although she was never formally emancipated, her owner John Ashmore granted her virtually full freedom. Ashmore's heirs wanted her returned as a slave and sent Edward Prigg to capture her in Pennsylvania. After returning Morgan to Maryland, Prigg was convicted in a Pennsylvania court for violating the 1826 law. Prigg unsuccessfully argued before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that both the 1788 and 1826 laws violated the constitutional guarantee of extradition among states and the federal government's Fugitive Slave Law of 1793.
Did Pennsylvania's law prohibiting the extradition of Negroes to other states for the purpose of slavery violate Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution? Did the law violate the Fugitive Slave Law of 1793 as applied by the Supremacy Clause?
Yes and yes. Justice Joseph Story delivered the opinion of the Court. The 1788 and 1826 Pennsylvania laws contradicted Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution and the Fugitive Slave Law. The Supremacy Clause assured that federal laws prevailed over the state laws. The decision did not wholly end asylum across state lines for slaves. Story granted that the state laws put in place by slave states to recapture slaves in free states only had to be enforced by federal officials, and not state magistrates.

Trained with the technical tools and skills to find and save lives, Air Force Pararescuemen are often called upon to help when disasters strike.
Whether it's providing care and rescue to a downed flight crew or helping victims of a natural disaster like the severe flash flooding in Colorado, pararescuemen (known as PJs—a nod to their earlier name, pararescue jumpers) need to be on the scene quickly. PJs work through specific training skills that are designed to maximize their success in the "The Golden Hour"—the first hour after disasters occur. If a PJ can find a victim under a collapsed structure and then render aid in the first 60 minutes, the odds of survival increase dramatically.
Given the dangerous conditions of many unstable areas, PJs carry the highly technical equipment that is engineered to be portable but effective for almost any situation that arises. A team of Air Force engineers and scientists work behind the scenes to create tools like a compact air lift that has the power to lift hundreds of pounds of rock, infrared cameras to search in the dark, and portable medical equipment to help until victims can be transported to safety.
To learn more about the science behind search and rescue missions, follow Air Force pararescuemen in this infographic as they race against the clock to save lives.

Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to Decimal Calculator
Enter degrees, minutes, and seconds to convert them to degrees in decimal form.
How to Convert Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DMS) to Decimal
Degrees can be expressed with minutes and seconds or in decimal form. One degree is equal to 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds.
To convert degrees to decimal form, find the decimal value of degrees for the minutes and seconds, and then add them to the degrees.
Step One: Convert Minutes to Decimal Degrees
Minutes are expressed using the prime symbol (′). Minutes can be converted to decimal form by dividing them by 60, since there are 60 minutes in a degree.
decimal = minutes ÷ 60
Step Two: Convert Seconds to Decimal Degrees
Seconds are expressed using the double-prime symbol (″). Seconds can be converted to decimal form by dividing them by 3,600, since there are 3,600 seconds in a degree.
decimal = seconds ÷ 3,600
Step Three: Add Degrees, Minutes, & Seconds
Once the minutes and seconds have been converted to degrees, the final step to convert to decimal is to add them to the whole degrees. Thus, the decimal value is equal to the whole degrees plus the converted minutes plus the converted seconds.
Degrees, Minutes, Seconds to Decimal Formula
Summing it all up, the formula to convert DMS to decimal is:
decimal = degrees + (minutes ÷ 60) + (seconds ÷ 3,600)
For example, let's convert 60° 35′ 15″ to decimal form.
decimal = 60 + (35′ ÷ 60) + (15″ ÷ 3,600)
decimal = 60 + 0.583333 + 0.004167
decimal = 60.5875°
Thus, 60° 35′ 15″ is equal to 60.5875°.

It has been widely recognized that maintaining adequate air/gas injection rate is vitally important to achieving hole cleaning both against drilling cutting and liquid accumulations. It is highly imperative to accurately predict the annulus pressure drop for determining the critical air/gas injection rate required for cleaning formation both cutting and liquid influx during underbalanced drilling.
A new numerical model for determining annulus pressure drop model has been developed that is required for accurately predicting minimum air/gas injection rate for simultaneous removal of both cutting and liquid during underbalanced drilling. The new model has incorporated the influence of cutting volume which has been overlooked by most researchers. Since the required minimum flow rate needs to be determined at the surface condition, temperature and pressure dependent variables such as gas formation volume factor, (Bg), Oil formation factor, (Bo), and water formation factor, Bw has been considered in the model. The results generated show that the existing models have underestimated the required minimum air/gas flow rate for continuous lifting of both cutting and liquid during underbalanced drilling. Engineering charts have also been generated for predicting cutting and liquid-carrying capacity of air/gas that is injected into the borehole at various rates. This project provides drilling engineers the necessary knowledge and a useful tool for minimizing complications in air/gas drilling operations
