Following the line of the article posted by A.Riazi, Solving engineering problem using MATLAB C API, I will show in this small example how to use M Functions inside our VC++ 6 project.
The project calculates the convolution of two vectors, and shows the resulting vector in the MsChart control. The function that performs the convolution is written in MatLab and then through the MatLab Add-in converted to C code ready to be used inside our app.
You need Visual Studio 6 and MatLab Release 12 installed with the MatLab C Library and Matlab Compiler.
Installing the MatLab Add-in
The add-in automates the integration of M-files into Visual C++ projects. The add-in for Visual Studio is automatically installed on your system when you run either mbuild -setup or mex -setup and select Microsoft Visual C/C++ version 6. In order to use the add-in you must follow these steps:
- Start MatLab, in the prompt type mbuild -setup
- Follow the menus and choose MS Visual C++6.0.
- Type the following commands in the matlab prompt :
These commands save the MatLab path to a file called mccpath in your user preferences directory (prefdir), ussually inside your documents and settings file. The path is used by the add-in because it runs outside Matlab and there is no other way for it to determine your Matlab path. If you add new directories to your Matlab path you will have to rerun this command if you want the add-in to see them.
- Configure the Matlab Add-in for Visual Studio 6 to work within MSVisual C++.
- Open MSVisualC++.
- Select Tools -> Customize from the MSVC menu.
- Click on the Add-ins and Macro Files tab.
- Check MATLAB for Visual Studio on the Add-ins and Macro Files list and click Close.
The floating MATLAB add-in for Visual Studio toolbar appears. The checkmark directs MSVC to automatically load the add-in when you start MSVC again.
Calculating the convolution in Matlab
We will write a simple function in MatLab that will perform the convolution of two vectors:
In2 and store the result in
We actually can use any matlab built-in function or toolbox function inside our function here we use only the function conv for simplicity.
%Returns the convolution of vector IN1 and IN2
Save the function with the name MyFunc.m
Writing the Application
Use the MFC AppWizard (exe) option to generate a Dialog Based Application and call it conv. Create a Button which will calculate the convolution of two given vectors.
Add the code below to the button's Message Handler.
Copy MyFunc.m into your VC++ project directory. Now go to the MatLab Add-in and click the.m++ (Add m-files to current project) button:
Select Windows Console Exe from the Combo Box and check Generate main file and debug mode. Press OK.
Then select the MyFunc.m file and click Open. After a while you will see new files added to your project.
Under MATLAB M-files you will see our MyFunc.m, you can even edit it from inside Visual C++. Under MATLAB C/C++ are MyFunc.c and MyFunc_main.c, generated by the MatLab Compiler. And all the headers needed by the compiler.
We can't build the app yet, we must add the following lines to convDlg.cpp:
Now the project should be built without any problem.
Points of Interest
The steps described here don't include the MSChart part, you can see it from the source code, but you can see that the calculation is done by placing a breakpoint inside the button message handler and checking the value of the
res vector after the line:
Well I hope this simple article be interesting for MatLab lovers, this is the first article I wrote, so I apologize if it is not clear enough. I will be glad to explain anything if you ask me. Greetings.

Brigadeiro is a simple Brazilian chocolate fudge candy created in the 1920s. It is named after Brazilian airman Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes. It's commonly served with soda, coffee or milk.
 1. In a heavy saucepan, mix the milk, cocoa powder and butter. Stir to dissolve the chocolate.
 2. Put over low heat and stir constantly to avoid formation of lumps.
 3. Continue stirring for 10-12 minutes, or until you are able to see the bottom of the pot for one second when you scratch it side-to-side with the spoon. (caution: the more you cook, the harder the resulting candy will be - it may vary from liquid fudge to hard candy)
 4. Allow to cool.
 5. Butter your hands and roll the mixture into small balls (around 2cm in diameter) and roll them over the chocolate sprinkles.
(should you accidentally get hard candy, fill the pot with water and leave to rest - the candy will dissolve completely and the pot will be easy to clean)
You can substitute the cocoa powder for 100g of baking chocolate. If you want a lighter candy use powdered chocolate (such as Nestlé Quick). You can also put raisins or nuts in the center of the candy. You can decorate with powdered sugar instead, or cocoa powder.
Brazilian brigadeiros also have gourmet varieties. Some references are available in specialized houses in Brazil: Maria Brigadeiro and Brigadeiríssimo and Brigadeiro Gourmet

Databinding to XML
XML is used a lot these days, both for configuration information and data exchange, and indeed even for UI design. Remember, XAML is an XML derivative.
But that's not all we can use XML data for. We can in fact bind to XML data. This is fairly easy to do in XAML. We can either have the XAML hold the XML data (though this is probably not the norm), or use external XML files.
Either way, the normal proceeding is to use an XmlDataProvider within the XAML/code. Like I said earlier, I think most Bindings will be done in XAML, and I will stick to that.
As part of the demo solution, you will find a project entitled "BindingToXML" which, when run, will look like the following:
The top two sections of this demo app use XAML held XML data, and the bottom two use an external XML file.
XmlDataProvider Using XAML Held Data (Inline XML Data)
It is entirely possible to hold all the XML data within the XAML file, and use this data as a source for Binding. Let's see an example of this:
<Window x:Class="BindingToXML.Window1"
 xmlns="_URL_
 xmlns:x="_URL_
 WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
 Title="Window1" Height="800" Width="800">
 <Window.Resources>
 <!-- inline XML data-->
 <XmlDataProvider x:Key="xmlData" XPath="Films">
 <x:XData>
 <Films xmlns="">
 <Film Type="Horror" Year="1987">
 <Director>Sam Raimi</Director>
 <Title>Evil Dead II</Title>
 </Film>
 <Film Type="Murder" Year="1991">
 <Director>Jonathan Demme</Director>
 <Title>Silence Of The Lambs</Title>
 </Film>
 <Film Type="Sc" Year="1979">
 <Director>Ridley Scott</Director>
 <Title>Alien</Title>
 </Film>
 </Films>
 </x:XData>
 </XmlDataProvider>
 </Window.Resources>
 <ScrollViewer>
 <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
 <!-- Simple XPath Binding using inline XML data-->
 <Label Content="Show all Films (using inline XML data)"
 Margin="5,0,0,0" FontSize="14" FontWeight="Bold" />
 <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="10,10,10,10"
 Background="Gainsboro">
 <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource xmlData},
 XPath=Film/Title}"/>
 </StackPanel>
 <!-- More Complicated XPath Binding using inline XML data-->
 <Label Content="Show Only Films After 1991 (using inline XML data)"
 Margin="5,0,0,0" FontSize="14" FontWeight="Bold" />
 <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="10,10,10,10"
 Background="Gainsboro">
 <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource xmlData},
 XPath=*[@Year>\=1991]}"/>
 </StackPanel>
 </StackPanel>
 </ScrollViewer>
</Window>
It can be seen from this example that we use an inline (in the XAML) XML dataset for the XmlDataProvider. And that we use the XmlDataProvider as the BindingSource for the ListBox. In this example, the first ListBox shows all Films/Titles as we are just fetching the Film/Title nodeset using the Binding.XPath=Film/Title, so we get all Titles shown.
The second ListBox is a bit fussier, and uses a bit of XPath notation to traverse the attribute axis and only fetches those nodes that have Year > 1991, so we get less nodes returned.
XmlDataProvider Using External XML File
As I say, it's going to be more common to use external XML files with the XmlDataProvider, which can be done as follows. Where the XmlDataProvider's Source property is set to the external XML file.
<XmlDataProvider x:Key="xmlDataSeperateFile"
 XPath="Resteraunts" Source="XMLFile1.xml">
</XmlDataProvider>
Using this arrangement is much the same as we saw before where we can use XPath to fetch all the nodes or use XPath to only match those nodes where the attribute matches the requirements. In this example, the second ListBox only shows "Mexican" restaurants from the XML file, using the following XPath:
<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource
 xmlDataSeperateFile}, XPath=*[@Type\=\'Mexican\']}"/>
And here is the full example:
<Window x:Class="BindingToXML.Window1"
 xmlns="_URL_
 xmlns:x="_URL_
 WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen"
 Title="Window1" Height="800" Width="800">
 <Window.Resources>
 <!-- external XML data-->
 <XmlDataProvider x:Key="xmlDataSeperateFile" XPath="Resteraunts"
 Source="XMLFile1.xml">
 </XmlDataProvider>
 </Window.Resources>
 <ScrollViewer>
 <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
 <!-- Simple XPath Binding using seperate XML data-->
 <Label Content="Show all Resteraunts (using seperate XML data)"
 Margin="5,0,0,0" FontSize="14" FontWeight="Bold" />
 <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="10,10,10,10"
 Background="Gainsboro">
 <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source=
 {StaticResource xmlDataSeperateFile},
 XPath=Resteraunt/Name}"/>
 </StackPanel>
 <!-- More Complicated XPath Binding using seperate XML data-->
 <Label Content="Show Only Mexican Resteraunts (using inline XML data)"
 Margin="5,0,0,0" FontSize="14" FontWeight="Bold" />
 <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="10,10,10,10"
 Background="Gainsboro">
 <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource xmlDataSeperateFile},
 XPath=*[@Type\=\'Mexican\']}"/>
 </StackPanel>
 </StackPanel>
 </ScrollViewer>
</Window>
And here's the associated XML file (should you be curious about its structure):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Resteraunts xmlns="">
 <Resteraunt Type="Meat">
 <Name>The MeatHouse</Name>

Cassandra Writes: A Mystery?
index
Apache Cassandra is a free and open-source distributed NoSQL database management system designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure.
It is a peer to peer database where each node in the cluster constantly communicates with each other to share and receive information (node status, data ranges and so on). There is no concept of master or slave in a Cassandra cluster.Any Node can be coordinator node for each query.
In this blog, we'll take a look behind the scenes to see how Cassandra handles write queries. For Cassandra Basics and installation, you can refer to our earlier blog.
Writing in Cassandra
When a client performs a write operation against a Cassandra database, it processes data at several stages on the write path, starting with the immediate logging of a write and ending in with a write of data to disk:
 - Logging data in the commit log
 - Writing data to the memtable
 - Flushing data from the memtable
 - If a crash occurs before the MemTable got flushed to disk, the commit log is used to replay that data and to rebuild the MemTable. All data successfully written to disk during the flush operation is then removed from the commit log.
 - Storing data on disk in SSTables
 - SSTables are immutable and can not be altered/changed post data insertion.
write-path.png

Cassandra Interactions on the write path
The write path describes how data modification queries initiated by clients are processed, eventually resulting in the data being stored on disk.
For nodes in the same local data center of the coordinator, the coordinator sends a write request to all replicas that own the row being written.
As long as all replica nodes are up and available, they will get the write regardless of the consistency level specified by the client. The write consistency level determines how many replica nodes must respond with a success acknowledgment in order for the write to be considered successful.
When a node writes and responds, that means it has written to the commit log and puts the mutation into a memtable.

Interactions between nodes on the write path
333333
If the cluster spans multiple data centers, the local coordinator node selects a remote coordinator in each of the other data centers to coordinate the write to the replicas in that data center. Each of the remote replicas responds directly to the original coordinator node.
The coordinator waits for the replicas to respond. Once a sufficient number of replicas have responded to satisfy the consistency level, the coordinator acknowledges the write to the client. If a replica doesn't respond within the timeout, it is presumed to be down, and a hint is stored for the write.

Interactions within a node on the write path
1.png
Within a node, for a write request :
 1. First, the replica node receives the write request and immediately writes the data to
 the commit log.
 2. the replica node writes the data to a memtable
 3. If row caching is used and the row is in the cache, the row is invalidated.
 4. If the write causes either the commit log or memtable to pass their maximum thresholds, a flush is scheduled to run.
 5. Hints, if any, are saved by the coordinator nodes
Write Path Advantages
 - Writing data to Cassandra is very fast as all the writes are append-only.
 - The write path is one of Cassandra's key strengths: for each Write Request one sequential disk write plus one in-memory write occur, both of which are extremely fast.
 - During a write operation, Cassandra never reads before writing (with the exception of Counters and Materialized Views), never rewrites data, never deletes data and never performs random I/O. So, no chances of Data Corruption.

say_big_data
Cassandra also performs some special tasks during/after writing the data to Cassandra. These include :
 - Compaction
 - Hinted Handoff
 - Caching

Compaction
Compaction in Apache Cassandra refers to the operation of merging multiple SSTables into a single new one.
This is done by merging rows and columns by partition key and time stamp. Only the latest version is merged into the new file. Deleted data (i.e. data marked with a tombstone) is dropped out.
After compaction, the old SSTables will be marked as obsolete. These SSTables are deleted asynchronously when JVM performs a GC, or when Cassandra restarts, whichever happens first.
compaction.png

Hinted Handoff
11111.png
What if, when a write request comes to coordinator node and the actual node is down?
The coordinator stores a hint about the dead node on local system for a period of time (specified in the config file)
Whenever dead node recovers, the data is transferred to the recovered node.
One concern for hinted handoff is that a lot of hints may be created for a node which goes offline for quite some time. And once the node is back, it is going to be flooded by the hints. It is possible to disable hinted handoff or reduce the priority of hinted handoff messages to avoid this issue.

Caching
download
Cassandra includes integrated caching and distributes cache data around the cluster for you. The integrated cache solves the cold start problem by virtue of saving your cache to disk periodically and being able to read contents back in when it restarts. So you never have to start with a cold cache.
Basically, Cassandra provides with 2 major types of caching :
222222
With proper tuning, hit rates of 85% or better are possible with Cassandra, and each hit on a key cache can save one disk seek per SSTable. Row caching, when feasible, can save the system from performing any disk seeks at all when fetching a cached row. Then, whenever growth in the read load begins to impact your hit rates, you can add capacity to quickly restore optimal levels of caching.
Thus, most high-profile Cassandra users like Netflix make heavy use of Cassandra's key and row caches.

To Know more about how Cassandra handles its write operations, you can refer to the Cassandra Official Documentation.
In this blog, we basically tried to cover how Cassandra handles its write queries and how internally it tries to archive high throughput rates for write operations.
I hope you enjoyed reading this article. 🙂
We will also be discussing about the Reading part in the next blog. So Stay tuned to know more about Apache Cassandra.

This fall, Davis-Thomas Elementary Middle School will begin integrating a new educational model that will incorporate each subject of study into an overall theme of environmental sustainability.
Tucker County Superintendent of Schools Eddie Campbell said the idea is to move past the traditional classroom model of education and find ways to open up new possibilities.
"We want to put our energy into the concept of sustainability and environmental responsibility because we think it will foster a good connection for the kids. When they can make a connection to what they are studying, they are going to learn it better. We want to find a way to connect learning to what the kids are doing in the community. That is where we are coming from," Campbell said.

Jennifer Newland, executive director of the Canaan Valley Institute, explains the benefits of the new partnership between CVI and the Tucker County Board of Education to board members at a recent meeting.
The new model is grounded in integrated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education, but Campbell said Davis Thomas will be including subjects from the humanities and arts into its study of environmental sustainability.
"If we are studying a particular topic that has to do with trout habitat, we are going to be looking at the history involved in that. Reading and writing components will also be involved. We are going to bring all of those curricular areas together around the theme of sustainability."
The school will also be collaborating with the Canaan Valley Institute and the National Youth Science Foundation in order to diversify the educational opportunities available to its students.
Jennifer Newland, CVI's executive director, said CVI is interested in assisting Davis-Thomas's efforts to make their curriculum more science based in any way they can.
"We have considerable experience with developing science-based curriculums in other schools," she said. "Since CVI was founded, education has been one of our fundamental activities and we are dedicated to working with Tucker County schools on science and environmental education."
Much of Campbell's inspiration for Davis Thomas' new model, it seems, came from a visit to Crellin Elementary School in Oakland, Md., a school in which CVI previously helped develop a similar educational model.
Vicki Fenwick-Judy, CIV's education coordinator, explained that Crellin's students study a specific topic from the perspective of different school subjects.
Most recently, they studied energy and this involved projects such as the creation of a Leggo waterwheel which incorporated mathematics and engineering.
Since Crellin's transition to this model of education, Fenwick-Judy said its students have truly blossomed.
In 2010, Crellin was recognized for having the highest standardized test scores in Maryland. They also have recently received the Intel School of Distinction for Elementary Mathematics, a national award that included $10,000 and equipment and services worth $100,000.
Fenwick-Judy said, "The school consistently produces fantastic critical and creative thinkers."
Campbell said he was immensely impressed by his visit to Crellin.
"I saw kids that were engaged and thrilled about being in school. You can feel it when you walk into the school. You can hear it in the students' and teachers' voices. They are really excited about what they are learning. It is an awesome educational environment."
Based on the strength of his impression, Campbell approached Davis-Thomas' staff about developing a similar program.
"They are thrilled about it," he said. "For them, it will be a chance to get back into creative ways of teaching - it is a real lift for them."
Daryla Rapp, Davis Thomas' principal, agreed that the school's staff is excited at the prospect of the new model.
"When Dr. Campbell presented the opportunity to our staff, they were all very excited. We think this will be a great opportunity."

LGC invited to international anti-doping symposium on standards and metrology
Last week (28 to 29 September), leading scientific experts from metrology (measurement science) and anti-doping gathered in Paris to discuss the role of standards and the importance of measurement accuracy in anti-doping analysis.
The event was jointly organised by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). It provided a unique forum for experts from these two fields to review the latest initiatives in metrology to support the harmonization of analytical practices, as well as highlight emerging measurement challenges.
Two scientists from the Measurement Research team at LGC were asked to present at this invitation-only event.
Chris Mussell demonstrated a bottom-up approach to measurement uncertainty assignment for organic analytes as part of the session on 'Measurement Uncertainty of Determinations of Threshold Substances'. The role of measurement uncertainty, the range or amount of error associated with a measurement, is crucial to quantitative anti-doping analysis. Without an associated measurement uncertainty, the amount of a banned substance cannot be meaningfully compared against the accepted limit and decisions on whether an athlete can continue to compete cannot be effectively made.
Qualitative analytical tests that provide a yes/no-type result present different analytical challenges. In qualitative analysis, a banned substance is identified but not quantified. Dr Steve Ellison discussed approaches for determining and controlling the limits of detection of methods for qualitative organic analysis as part of the session on 'Measurement support for qualitative analyses'.
LGC runs training courses on measurement uncertainty. Please contact us for further information.


prove below.
 Observe that by Corollary 6 of Chapter 3, §14, the set \(A\) clusters at \(p\) iff
 \[(\forall \delta>0) \quad A \cap G_{\neg p}(\delta) \neq \emptyset . \quad(\text { Explain! })\]
 Thus we have the following corollary.
 corollary \(\PageIndex{1}\)
 If \(A\) clusters at \(p\) in \((S, \rho),\) then a function \(f : A \rightarrow\left(T, p^{\prime}\right)\) can have at most one limit at \(p ;\) i.e.
 \[\lim _{x \rightarrow p} f(x) \text{ is unique (if it exists).}\]
 In particular, this holds if \(A \supseteq(a, b) \subset E^{1}(a<b)\) and \(p \in[a, b]\).
 Proof
 Suppose \(f\) has \(t w o\) limits, \(q\) and \(r,\) at \(p .\) By the Hausdorff property,
 \[G_{q}(\varepsilon) \cap G_{r}(\varepsilon)=\emptyset \quad \text{ for some } \varepsilon>0.\]
 Also, by \((2),\) there are \(\delta^{\prime}, \delta^{\prime \prime}>0\) such that
 \[\begin{array}{ll}{\left(\forall x \in A \cap G_{\neg p}\left(\delta^{\prime}\right)\right)} & {f(x) \in G_{q}(\varepsilon) \text { and }} \\ {\left(\forall x \in A \cap G_{\neg p}\left(\delta^{\prime \prime}\right)\right)} & {f(x) \in G_{r}(\varepsilon)}\end{array}\]
 Let \(\delta=\min \left(\delta^{\prime}, \delta^{\prime \prime}\right) .\) Then for \(x \in A \cap G_{\neg p}(\delta), f(x)\) is in both \(G_{q}(\varepsilon)\) and \(G_{r}(\varepsilon)\), and such an \(x\) exists since \(A \cap G_{\neg p}(\delta) \neq \emptyset\) by assumption.
 But this is impossible since \(G_{q}(\varepsilon) \cap G_{r}(\varepsilon)=\emptyset\) \((\text { a contradiction!). } \square\)
 For intervals, see Chapter 3, §14, Example ( \(\mathrm{h} )\).
 corollary \(\PageIndex{2}\)
 \(f\) is continuous at \(p\left(p \in D_{f}\right)\) iff \(f(x) \rightarrow f(p)\) as \(x \rightarrow p\).
 Proof
 The straightforward proof from definitions is left to the reader.
 Note 3. In formula \((2),\) we excluded the case \(x=p\) by assuming that \(x \in A \cap G_{\neg p}(\delta) .\) This makes the behavior of \(f\) at \(p\) itself irrelevant. Thus for the existence of a limit \(q\) at \(p,\) it does not matter whether \(p \in D_{f}\) or whether \(f(p)=q .\) But both conditions are required for continuity at \(p\) (see Corollary 2 and Definition 1\()\).
 Note 4. Observe that if \((1)\) or \((2)\) holds for some \(\delta,\) it certainly holds for any \(\delta^{\prime} \leq \delta .\) Thus we may always choose \(\delta\) as small as we like. Moreover, as \(x\) is limited to \(G_{p}(\delta),\) we may disregard, or change at will, the function values \(f(x)\) for \(x \notin G_{p}(\delta)\) ("local character of the limit notion").
 II. Limits in E*. If \(S\) or \(T\) is \(E^{*}\left(\text { or } E^{1}\right),\) we may let \(x \rightarrow \pm \infty\) or \(f(x) \rightarrow \pm \infty .\) For a precise definition, we rewrite \((2)\) in terms of \(globes\) \(G_{p}\) and \(G_{q} :\)
 \[\left(\forall G_{q}\right)\left(\exists G_{p}\right)\left(\forall x \in A \cap G_{\neg p}\right) \quad f(x) \in G_{q}.\]
 This makes sense also if \(p=\pm \infty\) or \(q=\pm \infty .\) We only have to use our conventions as to \(G_{ \pm \infty},\) or the metric \(\rho^{\prime}\) for \(E^{*},\) as explained in Chapter 3, §11.
 For example, consider
 \[^{\prime \prime}f(x) \rightarrow q \text{ as } x \rightarrow+\infty^{\prime \prime}\left(A \subseteq S=E^{*}, p=+\infty, q \in\left(T, \rho^{\prime}\right)\right).\]
 Here \(G_{p}\) has the form \((a,+\infty], a \in E^{1},\) and \(G_{\neg p}=(a,+\infty),\) while \(G_{q}=G_{q}(\varepsilon)\), as usual. Noting that \(x \in G_{\neg p}\) means \(x>a\left(x \in E^{1}\right),\) we can rewrite \(\left(2^{\prime}\right)\) as
 \[(\forall \varepsilon>0)\left(\exists a \in E^{1}\right)(\forall x \in A | x>a) \quad f(x) \in G_{q}(\varepsilon), \text{ or } \rho^{\prime}(f(x), q)<\varepsilon.\]
 This means that \(f(x)\) becomes arbitrarily close to \(q\) for large \(x(x>a)\).
 Next consider \(^{4} f(x) \rightarrow+\infty\) as \(x \rightarrow-\infty\) " Here \(G_{\neg p}=(-\infty, a)\) and \(G_{q}=(b,+\infty] .\) Thus formula \(\left(2^{\prime}\right)\) yields (with \(S=T=E^{*},\) and \(x\) varying over \(E^{\mathrm{i}} )\)
 \[\left(\forall b \in E^{1}\right)\left(\exists a \in E^{1}\right)(\forall x \in A | x<a) \quad f(x)>b;\]
 similarly in other cases, which we leave to the reader.
 Note 5. In \((3),\) we may

Bp Premier ships with a samples database that can assist in training new practice staff and familiarising users with the software without the danger of making changes to actual patient data or the live database.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use the samples database?
During installation, a shortcut to the samples database called 'Best Practice samples' is installed on the server or workstation desktop.
- Double-click the Best Practice samples icon on the desktop.
- Log in using one of the usernames listed in What users are there?.
- Enter a password of 'samples' and click Ok.
- Use the software as normal. Any changes made to configuration or patient data will be limited to the samples database. Access to Bp Premier functionality will be limited to the permissions set for the user selected in step 2.
- Log out of the samples database when you are finished training.
Available users in the samples database include:
Dr. Fredrick Findacure
Dr. Ivor Cure
Ms Nadine Nurse
Miss Jenny Reception
Ms Susan Senior Reception

[4] For the flute is an instrument of peace, and the myrtle is a plant of Aphrodite, who more than all the other gods abhors violence and wars. And this minor triumph is called 'ova,' not from the Greek 'euasmos,' as most think (since they conduct the major triumph also with songs and cries of 'eua!'), but the name has been wrested by the Greeks into conformity with their speech, since they are persuaded that something of the honour has to do with Dionysus also, whom they call Euius and Thriambus. This, however, is not the true explanation; but it was the custom for commanders, in celebrating the major triumph, to sacrifice an ox, whereas in the minor triumph they sacrificed a sheep. Now, the Roman name for sheep is 'ova,' and from this circumstance the lesser triumph is called ova.1

At a glance, it is nearly impossible to identify an individual penguin in a colony of several thousand. That's a serious problem for researchers who want to identify and track individual birds as part of their efforts to protect them.
To overcome the problem, many researchers attach stainless steel identification tags to the penguins' flippers (wings), but some long-term studies suggest these tags rub at the birds' insulating feathers and slow the birds down as they swim through the water.
"There's quite a bit of controversy about it," said Peter Barham, a polymer physicist with Bristol University in the United Kingdom.
Barham, who is not a biologist by training but passionate about penguins, is designing a new identification tag made out of silicone rubber. He hopes the new tags will be less harmful to the birds.
Dee Boersma, a conservation biologist and penguin expert at the University of Washington in Seattle, said that determining whether the new silicone rubber tags are an improvement will require several years of tests.
"It's always a good idea to develop new bands, but the real question is will these new bands be better?" she said. "We won't know until someone tests them and sees."
The new tags are designed to be flexible enough to prevent wear on the birds' feathers yet fit snuggly around the wing, thus reducing any tag drag that may slow the birds as they swim.
The first generation of Barham's silicone rubber tags fit like an airfoil on the flipper but proved too cumbersome when tested on wild penguins in South Africa. A second-generation prototype, designed more like a ring, is currently being developed.
Preliminary results from tests of the new prototype on captive penguins suggest an improvement over conventional stainless steel tags. She says but "whether it will work in practice has yet to be seen," Barham said.
Boersma is currently preparing a manuscript describing results from a ten-year study on a variety of tagging techniques, researchers will need at least five years of data before any conclusions can be made concerning the efficiency of the silicone rubber tags.

I've seen all kinds of measures to protect data from unauthorized access. Among them, a valuable tool that highlights physical safety: The Mantrap. You might be wondering, what exactly is a Mantrap? And how can it ensure cybersecurity? In this article, I'll take you through everything you need to know about Mantraps – the modern, effective, and secure solution to protect your organization's most sensitive areas. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and let's dive right in!
What best describes a mantrap?
Some common features of a mantrap include:
Overall, a mantrap provides an effective means of controlling access to secure areas and preventing unauthorized individuals from entering. Its unique design ensures that only one person can pass through the space at a time, enhancing security and mitigating the risk of breaches.
???? Pro Tips:
1. A mantrap is a physical security mechanism designed to control access to a restricted area and prevent unauthorized entry.
2. Typically, a mantrap consists of two or more interlocking doors, creating a small area between them that can only be entered by one person at a time.
3. The primary purpose of a mantrap is to prevent tailgating or piggybacking, where an unauthorized person follows closely behind an authorized person to gain entry.
4. Mantraps are commonly used in high-security facilities such as government buildings, data centers, and financial institutions.
5. When implementing a mantrap, it's essential to ensure that the construction of the mantrap, as well as the access control systems used to regulate it, comply with relevant security standards and regulations.
A Definition of Mantrap
A mantrap is a controlled entry space that is designed to restrict unauthorized access to secured areas. It is a physical security measure that is commonly used to protect sensitive areas such as data centers, server rooms, high-security government facilities, and financial institutions. The main objective of a mantrap is to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the secured area.
The Components of a Mantrap
A mantrap usually consists of two sets of doors that are electronically controlled and interlocked. This means that when an individual enters the first set of doors, they are locked in a small space between the two doors until they have been authorized to enter the secured area. The interior door will remain locked until approval has been granted, and only after that, would it open to let the authorized person inside.
The Purpose of a Mantrap
The primary purpose of a mantrap is to regulate and monitor access to restricted areas. Individuals must first be authenticated before they can enter the restricted area. This is just to ensure that only authorized personnel are granted access. The mantrap is also effective in controlling the flow of people into restricted areas, as it only allows one person to enter the secured area at a time.
Types of Mantraps
There are different types of mantraps that are designed to cater to specific security needs. Some of them include:
- Airlocks: These are mantraps that are typically used in clean rooms and healthcare facilities to control air pressure and prevent contamination.
- Security Portals: These are mantraps that usually include metal detectors, X-ray machines, and other screening devices to scan individuals and their belongings before entering the secured area.
- Bullet-Resistant Mantraps: These are mantraps that are specifically designed to protect against firearm threats and bullets.
Benefits of Implementing a Mantrap
Implementing a mantrap has several benefits that make it an effective security measure. Some of the benefits include:
- Providing Physical Barrier: The mantrap provides a physical barrier that's difficult to overcome. It prevents unauthorized access, and this provides greater security for the secured area.
- Detecting Unauthorized Access: The mantrap helps to detect and prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas.
- Monitoring and Recording: The mantrap often features monitoring and recording systems that ensure that all activities within the mantrap are tracked.
Security Measures in Mantraps
Mantraps usually include multiple security measures. Some of these measures can include:
- Electronic Access Control: This system ensures that only authorized personnel can enter the secured area. It includes biometric and card readers.
- CCTV: Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are placed throughout the mantrap to monitor individuals and their movements.
- Alarm System: The alarm system is integrated into the mantrap to alert security personnel in the event of unauthorized access or a breach.
- Physical Obstacles: The mantrap is typically designed with physical obstacles, including reinforced walls, to prevent unauthorized access.
To conclude, a mantrap is an effective security measure designed to restrict unauthorized access to restricted areas. It provides a physical barrier to prevent unauthorized access, includes multiple security measures such as CCTV, electronic access control, and alarm systems, and can protect against different types of threats. Implementing a mantrap offers great benefits in enhancing security for sensitive areas.

Abstract
For many applications it is necessary to capture an acoustic field and present it for human listeners, creating the same acoustic perception for them as if they were actually present in the scene. Possible applications of this technique include entertainment, education, military training, remote telepresence, surveillance, and others. Recently, there is much interest on the use of spherical microphone arrays in acoustic scene capture and reproduction application. We describe a 32-microphone spherical array based system implemented for spatial audio capture and reproduction. The array embeds hardware that is traditionally external, such as preamplifiers, filters, digital-to-analog converters, and USB interface adapter, resulting in a portable lightweight solution and requiring no hardware on PC side whatsoever other than a high-speed USB port. We provide capability analysis of the array and describe software suite developed for the application.

Having investigated the relevance of the operative assumptions of Gramsci's theory of hegemony and domination to African realities, the paper proposes that scholars attempt to devise and articulate a more appropriate theory and methodology. It also proposes that the pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial periods be examined as they relate to the theory of hegemony and domination in Africa, in an integrated form, especially in the interest of studying long-term social change.

An increase in expenses has led to the introduction of rationalisation in healthcare. With this comes the emergence of business operation analytics of each entity with a view to improve the business operations with unaltered quality of work. A hospital-based clinical laboratory is part of the healthcare system, but it can also be viewed as an independent unit. The goal of the clinical laboratory as a unit is the accuracy and reliability of laboratory tests. Today, the benchmarks of financial business operations are becoming more important; productivity evaluation, i.e. efficient business operations.
Laboratory business operation analytics provide us with an insight into a successful business performance. The increase in productivity of clinical laboratories relates to the technical development of the laboratory diagnostics, which can at first be viewed as an expense, because it requires a financial investment. The introduction of an IT system into the laboratory leads to a better control of work procedures, improvement of work organisation, saving time and subsequently affects productivity. The laboratory business operation analytics, as well as the financial cost-effectiveness of the investment can be seen by developing an economic model, i.e. model of a laboratory as an economic entity. The creation of the model of a laboratory as an economic entity implies the identification of revenues and expenses and their comparison in a specific time period, typically one year.
A sum that shows whether the laboratory performs its business operations profitably or not is obtained by comparison of total revenues and all expenses of the clinical laboratory. It is the starting point from where the measures for business performance improvement shall be taken.
The introduction of an IT system into the laboratory leads to a better control of work procedures, improvement of work organisation, saving time and subsequently affects productivity.
The goal of this study was the analysis of the clinical laboratory business operations as an economic entity over one year, as well as the analysis of business operations of the model, with a potential improvement and deterioration of business performance compared to the basic model. The models were made using SWOT analysis; the model of deterioration was based on weaknesses and threats, and the model of improvement on strengths and opportunities of the laboratory, as shown in one previous study.
Materials and Methods
Institution The institution chosen for this research was Clinical Laboratory of the General County Hospital (GCH) Našice, Croatia. It is a typical provider of laboratory services for all hospital in-patients, hospital outpatients, and patients referred from primary healthcare providers in the region. GCH Našice is a non-profitable institution funded from the State Budget of the Republic of Croatia through the Croatian Institute for Health Insurance (CIHI).
Profit and Loss Account The analysis of laboratory performance was carried out using the method of profit and loss account, which shows the profitability of the laboratory. The basic elements of the profit and loss account are revenues and expenses, and the difference between them represents profit or loss in business operations and proves profitability. The total revenues consist of the fees charged for the tests performed and the expenses are all expenses necessary for earning the revenues. The revenues and expenses are categorised.
Graded profit in the profit and loss account is shown using the contribution margin, gross profit, and operating profit. Contribution margin is total revenue less direct material expenses. Gross profit is the difference between total revenue and total production expenses. Operating profit with a positive number sign indicates profitable business operations, whereas negative number sign indicates unprofitable business operations.
Economic Sensitivity AnalysisEconomic sensitivity analysis was used to show how business operations may be altered by changing one or more parameters in the profit and loss account. Three models with changed operating profit as compared to the basic model were shown, i.e. the economic sensitivity analysis was performed, for which the data had been obtained through the SWOT analysis.
Results and Discussion
The profit and loss account for 2008 showed profitable business operations of the laboratory and the positive operating profit in the amount of 470,423 euro. Using the economic sensitivity analysis, three models with modified operating profit were developed:
- Reduced tests;
- Technological improvement (automation with informatisation); and
- Technological improvement with three employees less and additional tests.
Weaknesses and opportunities represent internal characteristics of the laboratory, whereas the strengths and threats are derived from the clinical laboratory environment, in other words the geographical surroundings in radius of fifty kilometers with 100,000 inhabitants.
In the reduced tests model, the number of tests was reduced for all specialist tests in outpatient services and none were performed for primary healthcare. The operating profit would amount to only 21,542 euro.
The technological improvement model, due to the expenses for automation and informatisation, would reduce the operating profit to 431,464 euro.
In the increased operating profit model, conditioned by the technological improvement that would facilitate the work with three employees less with simultaneous addition of tests, it would amount to 535,804 euro.
This research shows that the clinical laboratory GCH Našice performed its business operations profitably in 2008. Profitable business operations were shown in the profit and loss account, where the operating profit was positive and amounted to 470,423 euro. The profit realised in the clinical laboratory GCH Našice in the amount of 470,423 euro represents operational earnings that would remain to the owner of a business entity on the market.
The SWOT analysis tested the threats for the laboratory arising from its surroundings. The threat to the analysed laboratory is loss of patients, i.e. reduced tests, which could become real by the establishment of a new clinical laboratory in the radius of 50 km with 100,000 inhabitants. The establishment of such a laboratory, which could take over patients from the primary healthcare providers and provide specialist tests for outpatients, would decrease the operating profit to only 21,542 euro. In order to prevent such threats from becoming real, it is necessary to continuously develop the laboratory and to perform market research.
The technological improvement model that would introduce potential automation and informatisation showed the reduction in operating profit to 431,464 euro in comparison to the basic model. This reduction in the operating profit is actually the price for potential automation and informatisation, which is not high compared to its benefit, since the difference in the operating profit is only 38,959 euro. Regardless of the price, potential automation and informatisation significantly improve the quality of service. The inexistence of total automation and informatisation in the laboratory is a weakness that could become an opportunity, because it facilitates work with three employees less as well as performing additional tests. Those additional tests in the researched laboratory are the ones performed by other laboratories in the radius of approximately 50 km, such as medical examinations, physician's certificates or laboratory tests that are directly paid. If the potential to carry out additional tests, work with three employees less with automation and informatisation, as shown in the technological improvement with additional tests and three employees less model, were realised, the operating profit would increase to 535,804 euro.
Business performance could be improved either by augmenting the scope of work, connected with the expansion on new markets, which is a customary practice in the US and market-oriented states or by reducing the costs through monitoring the work procedures in detail. Constant development, monitoring of market demands and reduction in operating costs can certainly lead to the improvement in business performance of the laboratory, independent of its funding.
The risks of reduced tests amount to 448,881 euro, the potential to increase the profit 65,381 euro. Hence, the risk of the decrease in profit is seven times higher than the potential increase based on opportunities. In other words, the results showed a potential decrease in the operating profit by 95 percent, because it would be reduced from 470,723 to only 21,542 euro, whereas the potential increase in the operating profit could be only to 535,804 euro or 14 percent. In conclusion, reduced tests due to the establishment of a new clinical laboratory would have a significant negative impact on the profitability compared to the potential increase of profitability.
Such business analysis can result in positive financial breakthrough even in the institutions where primary health system function is not making profit. It clearly shows the need for basic education in economics and its implementation by managers in individual departments in the healthcare system. The profitability of any clinical laboratory can be increased using the analytics shown in this report and using the knowledge in economics.

Update (10/27/2023): The seventh Philadelphia school in 2023 closed due to asbestos. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Southwark Elementary School closed in October. Most students would attend South Philly High School. It's the first school closure in Philadelphia of the 2023-2024 school year.
Update (05/01/2023): The sixth Philadelphia school in 2023 was closed due to finding asbestos. According to CBS News, Universal Vare Charter School is temporarily closed asbestos was detected during a routine check.
Update (04/25/2023): Another school in Philadelphia closed due to asbestos. According to NBC10 Philadelphia, C.W. Henry School in the Mount Airy neighborhood closed due to finds of the cancerous substance. This makes five Philadelphia schools to close because of asbestos just in 2023.
There's another chapter to the ongoing asbestos crisis in Philadelphia public school buildings.
According to the ABC affiliate in Philadelphia and other media outlets, two more Philadelphia schools closed due to discoveries of dangerous asbestos. This makes multiple reports in the last few weeks of Philadelphia schools dealing with asbestos sightings.
According to the reports, Frankford High School and Mitchell Elementary School closed down the second week of April, after Spring Break ended. Virtual learning began Tuesday, April 11. There are approximately 900 students at Frankford High and 350 students at Mitchell Elementary.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the issue occurred due to inaccurate record-keeping of asbestos-containing plaster. The records inaccurately labeled the plaster as "non-asbestos containing" and safe for decades.
Reports state Frankford High School may reopen within a week after closing, but Mitchell Elementary School should remain closed for the rest of the school year. While virtual learning is a temporary solution for the students, the plan reportedly is to find an in-person setting for Mitchell Elementary students for the remainder of the school year.
What Is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a dangerous mineral that can cause mesothelioma cancer, lung cancer and other deadly diseases. It is a fire-resistant and durable substance capable of preventing fire damage in buildings. However, as years pass with no renovation or repairs, asbestos can decay and fragment, which releases sharp fibers that can cause cancer if inhaled or ingested.
During the 20th century, many buildings were constructed with asbestos inside of the walls, in roof tiles and more. School buildings were part of the group, and many old school buildings that haven't been renovated in decades still contain decaying asbestos.
Asbestos Concerns Among Philadelphia Schools in 2023
These are the third and fourth Philadelphia buildings to close due to asbestos just in 2023. Building 21 High School closed down in March as students were relocated to Strawberry Mansion High School. The next week, Mastery Charter Simon Gratz High School was shut down. They reopened soon after.
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, approximately 400 students from Building 21 High School have occupied one floor of Strawberry Mansion High School since the school closed.
As of October 2023, there have been seven Philadelphia schools to close since March 2023:
- Building 21
- Frankford High
- C.W. Henry Elementary
- Mastery Simon Gratz High
- Mitchell Elementary
- Southwark Elementary
- Universal Vare charter school
There have been other Philadelphia schools dealing with asbestos prior to 2023. The crisis began in 2019, when Benjamin Franklin High School and Science Leadership Academy shut down. Five more schools shut down in 2019 and four schools shut down in 2020, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
If not for the pandemic shutting down in-person learning, there might have been more asbestos sightings in other schools a lot sooner than in 2023.

A brief history of public inquiries
As was stated in the First Report of the Select Committee on Public Affairs there has been "a trend, from the primacy of parliamentary committees and royal commissions up to the second decade of the century to the dominance of 1921 Act inquiries until the 1970s, then the predominance of ad hoc or subject specific statutory inquiries subsequently."
Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921
Before the Inquiries Act 2005, statutory tribunals of inquiry were established under the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921.
Oonagh Gay, in the parliamentary paper Investigatory inquiries and the Inquiries Act comments that public inquiries set up under the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921, "were independent of Parliament, although their establishment depended upon parliamentary resolution and upon the willingness of the Government to find the necessary time to debate such a motion." Sir Andrew Turnbull KCB KVO, Cabinet Secretary and head of the Civil Service between 2002 and 2005, in giving evidence to the Select Committee was rather more scathing in his description of "this rather clunking instrument of the 1921 Act, which assumes everything is in public, with full legal representation and so on…"
The Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921 primarily deals with the powers of the inquiry once it has been set up, rather than the determination of public concern that the Inquiries Act 2005 stipulates. Gay comments that "the tribunals were designed to replace an earlier system of investigation by parliamentary committee into matters of urgent public concern after that system was discredited by the unsatisfactory outcome of an inquiry by a Commons committee into the Marconi Affair in 1913."
The focus of public inquiries held under the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921 has been allegations of serious misconduct by the government or public officials. They have included investigations into allegations of political corruption, police brutality and serious disasters. The Salmon Commission opined that tribunals held under the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921 should "always be confined to matters of vital public importance concerning which there is something of a nation-wide crisis of confidence." The limiting wording of the commission was not carried into the Inquiries Act 2005 however, which simply requires "public concern".
Since 1921, the British Government invoked the act around 20 times. Prior to four public inquiries, listed below, held in the 1990s, the Act fell out of use for some time. It is now repealed by the Inquiries Act 2005.
Notable public inquiries held under the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921 include:
- Aberfan landslide disaster
- Dunblane School Inquiry
- Harold Shipman Inquiry
The Republic of Ireland
The Republic of Ireland retains some United Kingdom legislation pre-dating independence in 1922. The Smithwick Tribunal of Inquiry, an inquiry set up to enquire into suggestions that members of An Garda Síochána or other employees of the State colluded in the fatal shootings of RUC Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and RUC Superintendent Robert Buchanan, was established by resolution of the Dail Eireann and Seanad Eireann and under the 1921 Act.
The Salmon Commission
The Royal Commission on Tribunals of Inquiry, 'The Salmon Commission' was chaired by Lord Justice Salmon. It made recommendations affecting the protection of witnesses, in particular the Salmon Principles.
Since the Salmon Commission
A useful and comprehensive narrative on the development of public inquiries can be found in the Report of the Select Committee.
Inquiries held under other legislation
Schedule 3 of the Inquiries Act 2005 repealed a range of sections or whole pieces of legislation that gave authority to hold a public inquiry.
Inquiries that had been held under such legislation include:
- Rosemary Nelson Inquiry (Police (Northern Ireland) Act 1998)
- Robert Hamill Inquiry and Billy Wright Inquiry (Police (Northern Ireland) Act 1998 before conversion to Inquiries Act 2005)
- Marchioness-Bowbell Inquiry (Merchant Shipping Act 1995)
- Victoria Climbié Inquiry (Children Act 1989; NHS Act 1977; and Police Act 1996)
- Ladbroke Grove Rail Inquiry (Health and Safety at Work Act 1974)
A number of public inquiries have been held on an ad hoc basis. These include:

Camp des Milles
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
The camp was first used to intern Germans and ex-Austrians living in the Marseilles Area, and by June 1940, some 3500 artists and intellectuals were detained there. Novelist Lion Feuchtwanger and visual artist Ferdinand Springer were inmates. Surrealist artists Hans Bellmer and Max Ernst were imprisoned in the Camp des Milles prison for most of World War II. Between 1941 and 1942 Le Camp des Milles was used as a transit camp for Jews, mainly men. Women were at the Centre Bompard in Marseilles, while they waited for their visas and anthorisations to emigrate. As emigration became imossible Les Milles became one one of the Centre de rassemblement before deportation. 2000 of the inmates were shipped off to Drancy camp on the way to Auschwitz
After the war, the site was briefly re-opened in 1946 as a factory.
In 1995 a movie titled "Les Milles" commemorating this camp and the events that took place in this camp at the time of the Armistice in June 1940 was made.


Are the pearls in bubble tea carcinogenic?
Does the colorful and popular bubble tea contain carcinogenic substances?
Given the bright color creations, one can assume that the colorful bubble teas contain a lot of sugar and many artificial ingredients. Unhealthy and high in calories: definitely! Now, however, scientists have also found out that the globules of the popular trendy drink contain toxins, so that one must even fear that bubble tea is carcinogenic or increases the risk of developing cancer. They can also cause allergies. What is the truth of the new fears and should one absolutely avoid bubble tea?
Bubble tea carcinogenic due to styrene, acetophenone and brominated substances?
Scientists from the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen have found the poisonous substances styrene, acetophenone and brominated substances in the balls, the so-called toppings of the bubble tea. Since the samples were evaluated from a Mönchengladbach branch that was supplied by one of the largest topping manufacturers in Asia, which in turn supplies almost all of Germany with the pellets, it can be assumed that the harmful substances can be found in many bubble teas. The fact is: these substances actually have no place in food - it must now be examined in more detail whether the concentration contained in the bubble teas must already be classified as harmful to health or not.
No more bubble tea or excessive scaremongering?
Basically, of course, it is true that bubble tea is anything but healthy. A cup has so many calories that an adult has covered a quarter of the daily sugar requirement: a cup of 0.3 l bubble tea has an average of 400 to 600 calories... actually a whole meal. In addition, the bubble tea is not entirely safe for small children, as the slimy pearls are easily inhaled or the children can choke on them. The contained toxic substances naturally also promote the unhealthy image. However, you have to keep in mind that the bubble tea scandal is current and on everyone's lips: Dioxin-contaminated eggs, cancer-promoting ingredients in chips, cola and Co., cancer-causing diesel exhaust fumes, harmful chemical ingredients in cosmetics and many other foods and objects of our daily life are certainly no less unhealthy than the ingredients in bubble tea. Regardless of whether bubble tea is carcinogenic - due to the high number of calories, artificial flavors, colorings and the high sugar content, bubble tea should be avoided for the sake of health.

Question 4: What did Anil and Hari agree upon to be the mode of payment?
Answer: When Anil started his inability to pay Hari, Anil questioned Hari if he could feed Hari. Hari realised that he had misjudged his target and moulded the situation for his benefit. Anil then agreed to feed him if he knew how to cook.
Question 5: What made Hari Singh go back to Anil's house?
Answer: Hari Singh realised the importance of education he was receiving from Anil. He knew that learning how to read and write and being a literate person would open doors to many opportunities.

Question 12: In which queer way did Anil make a living?
Answer: Anil made a living by writing for magazines which seemed queer for Hari, because the money was earned by fits and starts and not on a regular basis.
Long Questions and Answers
Question 1: Money can't make a man as much as education can. Elucidate the statement.
Answer: The statement stands true in almost all the aspects of life. Money may but us all the luxuries and fulfil our needs but it cannot buy us knowledge, civilised thinking, skill and abilities to achieve our dreams. Education lays the platform for all to act upon our goals according to our abilities. Education enables us to keep up with the fast-moving world. It opens the door to opportunities we do not know even exist. Money, on the other hand, can assist us to a certain level. It can buy us a plan but education gives us the knowledge of its execution. Just as in the story 'A Thief's Story'.
Hari Singh befriends the struggling author 'Anil', in the plans of making a steal. Anil, the author is a good fellow and wants to teach Hari Singh how to read and write. Gradually, he develops trust in Hari Singh. But Hari Singh has been waiting for the right moment to steal the valuables of Anil. After stealing money from Anil, Hari Singh tries to go away forever. But some inner voice stops him from doing so. He returned to Anil because he wants to live a life of respect. This shows that Hari Singh prioritised the chance of being literate over a few hundred rupees; we must understand that education can help us to achieve whatever we desire.
Question 2: Hari Singh didn't board the express and returned to Anil. Why did he return? On what values does this incidence put light on?
Answer: Hari Singh was a thief and he had stolen Anil's money. After the theft, he realised that he had robbed not only Anil but also himself of the chance of being literate and having a bright future. His conscience pricked him to think what all he could have got had he not done this. It was difficult for him to rob Anil but it was tougher for him not to back. He realised that he could not make tea, buy daily supplies and learn how to read and write then. His inner self did not agree to bypass this and forced him to return.
Hari's return to Anil shows that despite indulging in criminal acts, he still had a practical and positive attitude towards life. It is the awakening of Hari's conscience and Anil's love and care that reformed (changed) Hari's character. It teaches us that love alone can change a person. Anil's understanding nature and care changed Hari's thinking to mend his ways for good.
The whole incident clearly shows that it might be difficult to choose a path of honour and respect but the inner satisfaction and peace are the most valuable assets, we need in our life. When we realise the value of love, care and affection than the easy way of stealing money, we would prefer to choose the path of hard work and dedication. Here, in the story, we see that Hari Singh preferred the love and affection of Anil to the money he stole from him. As he realised that trust and care are more powerful than any other thing in life.

Ex Ante Evaluation
Before the programme there was…
Before programmes are designed, before money is provided to beneficiaries, before EU Rural Development begins to have impacts on the lives of EU citizens, what comes before all of this?
The ex ante evaluation!
The ex ante evaluation is the inventory check and reflection on past experiences before setting out on your new journey. While just winging it may work for a short road trip, careful preparation must be ensured for climbing a large mountain. EU rural development programmes, like climbing a mountain require a team of individuals and stakeholders working together. Careful preparation and planning so that all members involved can achieve their greatest impact and make it to the top of the mountain is essential.
The ex ante evaluation is the roadmap to the top of the mountain through reflecting on past experiences, checking inventories and trying to manage any potential future risks the programme might encounter along the way.
The role of the ex ante evaluation
Programming of the CAP Strategic Plans is a complex exercise, that requires one to consider and to link various aspects. To improve the quality of the design of the CAP Strategic Plan it is essential to carry out the ex ante evaluation. The ex ante evaluation should be carried out by functionally independent experts in close cooperation with the authority responsible for the drafting of the CAP Strategic Plan. The CAP Strategic Plan should serve to contribute to better targeted support through the CAP and to support a common learning process related to monitoring and evaluation. At the same time, the ex ante evaluation is a key element of the performance framework, as it establishes the base for effective monitoring and evaluation during the implementation of the CAP Strategic Plan in 2021-2027.
The ex ante evaluation is strongly linked to the programming of the CAP Strategic Plan and the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). This interlinkage can be organised in various possible ways (e.g. by providing a joint ex ante and SEA feedback in an iterative exchange with the programming authority or by providing input to draft CAP Strategic Plan documents at defined stages). One of the lessons learned from previous experiences of carrying out the ex ante evaluation was to organise it in an ongoing process between evaluators and Managing Authorities. This type of iterative process helps evaluators to be well aware that several updates of the SWOT, intervention strategy and other CAP Strategic Plan elements may become available or are even triggered through the ex ante evaluation and can be considered as part of the ongoing ex ante appraisal. In each case, it is essential that the ex ante evaluation provide an independent and informed view into the preparation of the CAP Strategic Plan.
The ex ante evaluation as an interactive and participatory process
Experience has shown that a participatory ex ante evaluation process increases the ownership and the acceptance of the results by relevant stakeholders and helps to improve evaluation capacities. This can be realised through the integration of expertise and views of all relevant stakeholders, ensuring interaction and mutual learning at all stages of the ex ante evaluation and the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).
Understanding who is doing what during the process of the ex ante and SEA
The roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in the ex ante evaluation and SEA process should be clearly defined and discussed. All parties should be aware of their roles and responsibilities from the beginning of the process.
Figure 1: Stakeholder checklist - roles and responsibilities
It is essential to plan the involvement of stakeholders, including the phase/stage at which their involvement is required, the nature of their involvement (engagement), how they get involved (engagement methods) and the frequency of their contribution(s).
A robust ex ante evaluation is the foundation of the successful design and implementation of the CAP Strategic Plan and key to reaching the top of the mountain!

Rigidity of Graph Symmetries in the 3-Sphere
Embedded graphs, symmetries of graphs, chirality
In this paper we show that, for any 3-connected graph G, if an automorphism of G is realizable by a homeomorphism of (S3, G) then there is an embedding of G such that that automorphism is induced by a finite order homeomorphism of (S3, G). We then use this result to characterize which automorphisms of an arbitrary complete graph can be induced by a homeomorphism of S3 for some embedding of the graph.

Pursuant to Georgia law, there are two distinct claims that may be brought in conjunction with wrongful death. The first claim is the claim created by statute for the wrongful death of the person. This claim establishes the "full value of the life of the deceased" from the perspective of the deceased, which includes both the economic value of the deceased's life and also the intangible element incapable of exact proof. The economic value is basically the amount of money the deceased would likely have earned had he or she lived until natural death. The intangible element is related to the non-economic factors such as relationships, altruistic activities, and the general impact the person had on surrounding persons.
The second claim related to wrongful death is the claim held by the Estate of the deceased. This claim would include things such as medical expenses incurred as a result of the injury prior to death, conscious pain and suffering prior to death, and funeral expenses.

Mixer Innovations
The modern industry of masonry is nothing like the way it was 100 or even 10 years ago. With innovations and advancements happening virtually every year, the industry continues to see improvements in productivity, efficiency, and technique. However, none of these improvements would be possible without the inventions and techniques that make modern masonry what it is today.
Mixer Innovations
A masonry project would be nothing without the right tools and materials, and that's why innovations in mixers have played such a pivotal role in the industry. Previously, contractors had to mix mortar and concrete in large drum mixers that tumbled and mixed the materials. This was a slow process relative to modern techniques that allow for meeting much tighter deadlines. These innovations include mixers powered by hydraulics that pack a much more powerful punch and can mix more efficiently. Older mixers must also be high off the ground to dump contents, while modern mixers often incorporate hydraulic cylinders that raise the drum, reducing the laborer's effort and increasing efficiency.
Defense Against the Elements
Often, masonry buildings can be described as "breathing," as they absorb moisture and expel vapor over time. Although this adds charm to some projects, it can also lead to long-term damage. Since water or ice can damage masonry buildings, modern masonry has developed to help reduce this harm in the restoration of masonry buildings. By adding flashings at parapets or windowsills, modern innovations can reroute the water and prevent damage. Modern masonry also incorporates moisture barriers, trapping moisture and defending even historical buildings from the elements.
Modern masonry has come a long way thanks to recent advances and improvements. If you're in need of restoration services for a masonry building, contact Soumar Masonry Restoration, Inc. today.
