The Effect of Exploration Intensity on Analysts' Forecasts
This study examines the relations between the intensity of reported exploration activity by mining and exploration companies and analysts' private information search activities and their forecast accuracy. Under Australian accounting standards, firms can either record exploration expenditure as an expense as it is incurred, or as an exploration asset (i.e., exploration expenditure is capitalised). The accounting choice for exploration expenditure could have potential impact on analysts' forecasts. It also examines the relations under the different accounting treatment for exploration expenditure.
This study examines whether greater intensity of exploration activity motivates analysts to acquire and process relatively more private information to meet investor demand and whether this affects the accuracy of analysts' consensus forecast. It also examines whether the capitalisation of exploration expenditure can reduce uncertainty analysts have about the future economic outcomes of exploration investments, and improve the accuracy of their forecasts.
The study finds that the proportion of private information contained in analysts' forecasts increases with the intensity of exploration activity. We also find that the accuracy of analysts' consensus forecast improves with the intensity of exploration activity. The results are robust for firms choosing to capitalise their exploration expenditure.
Using the extractive industry as a specific setting, this study evaluates the role of analysts in moderating high information asymmetry exhibited in this industry. The findings are useful to investors and academics because it addresses how accounting matters when investing.

Paper title: Reliability Challenges in Fabrication of Flexible Hybrid Electronics for Human Performance Monitors: A System Level Study
Abstract: Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) interface rigid electronic components with flexible sensors, circuits, and substrates. This paper reports the reliability improvement of a FHE Human Performance Monitor (HPM), designed to monitor electrocardiography (ECG) signals. The 50.8 mm × 50.8 mm HPM is fabricated on Kapton® HN polyimide (PI) substrate with flexible gold (Au) ECG electrodes on one side of the substrate and rigid electronic components for signal processing and communication mounted on the other side of the substrate. Our previously reported HPMs demonstrated reliability issues due to (1) cracking of the copper (Cu) circuitry, and (2) thinning and lack of adhesion at the printed Au and plated Cu interface that connected printed sensors to the Cu circuitry. Both failure mechanisms resulted in electrical opens in the circuit, which caused device failure. We explored effect of different design parameters, such as PI substrate thickness (50 μm vs 125 μm), Cu circuit thickness (2 μm vs 6 μm), solder reflow temperature (205 °C for Tin-Lead (Sn-Pb) vs 175 °C for Tin-Bismuth (Sn-Bi) solder), solder pad design, and optimized inkjet printing (printing on bare Cu vs Au plated Cu) on improving FHE reliability. Test vehicles (TVs) with different combinations of these factors were fabricated and bend tested to determine the most robust configuration. TVs with 50 μm thick PI substrate, 6 μm thick Cu circuit, Sn-Bi solder, redesigned solder pads with rounded corners, and printed Au traces on Au plated Cu pads demonstrated the best reliability results

"file" provides more granularity than that, recognising many specific
formats, both text and binary.
First, it uses "magic number" checks, checking for known signature bytes
(e.g. "#!" or "JFIF") at the beginning of the file. If those checks fail
it checks for common text encodings. If those also fail, it reports "data".
Also, UTF-16-encoded text is recognised as text, even though it may
contain a high proportion of NUL bytes.

Grammar page 5
The fifth page of the grammar lessons.
When giving advice this is useful.
CONSTRUCTION: ta form (#3) + ほう が いい hou ga ii
yasunda hou ga ii.
It would be better to rest.
kiita hou ga ii.
It would be better to ask (someone).
NOTE: The ta form is the past form. (But obviously no past meaning is intended here.) Observe that the English equivalent "It would be better" or "You had better" gramatically speaking uses the past tense as well, altough it expresses no past meaning.
better / worse than より、のほうがいい/の方が良い
This has the same hou ga ii as above. But here we using it to compare things. Also we will introduce yori (less than).
～のほうがいい ~no hou ga ii (more than),
～より ~yori (less than)
This is a little confusing if you think too much on this! But I suggest memorizing one or two examples and then you should be able to keep it straight.
watashi wa inu yori, neko no hou ga suki.
I like dogs less than cats. (I like cats more than dogs.)
You should spend some time studying the above example to understand how the ordering works.
Notice in English we use either "less than" or "more than" and the meaning is understood by the order of "dogs" and "cats" BUT in Japanese this is also ok:
watashi wa neko no hou ga inu, yori suki
For example たとえば/例えば
Anytime you want to make an illustration or give an example this is the phrase to use.
watashi wa washoku ga suki desu.
I like Japanese style food.
tatoeba, gohan to misoshiru.
For example, rice and miso soup.
You can also ask someone this to get more concrete information.
For example, what?
and (then) そして/然して
そして soshite - connecting phrases. そして is generally used at the start of a sentence, and relates to the preceeding sentence.
watashi wa nihongo ga hanasemasu. soshite, doitsugo ga yomemasu.
I can speak Japanese and I can read German.
watashi wa kare no yuujin desu, soshite itsumademo sou deshou.
I am his friend and will remain so.
そして soshite - inside sentences. In the following example it connects two sub-clauses of a sentence with an 'and' like construction.
watashitachi wa nani o suru ka, soshite doko e iku ka ni tsuite hanashimashita.
We discussed what to do and where to go.
そして soshite - with lists.
watashitachi wa yuushoku no ato, utai, odori, soshite oshaberi o shimashita.
We sang, danced and chatted after dinner.
Here is a very useful question word -- どう dou -- Let's look at ways of using dou.
どうですか。 dou desu ka? How is (it)? [Use this for asking about food, or anything that is being done now] どうでしたか。 dou deshita ka? How was (it)? [Use this to find out about past experiences - movie, last night's date, molded pizza you just ate...]
どうやって？ dou yatte? How do you do it? [Ask this when you are not sure how to do something]
どうしましたか。 dou shimashita ka? What happened? [Ask this if someone looks sad or something has happened]
どうしよう dou shiyou What shall (I or we) do? [This is often used when you can't make a decision and want help... doushiyou, ne!]
どうするの？dou suru no? What will you do? [When you want to encourage someone to make a decision -- Well, what will you do?]
Isn't it? でしょう
If you want to state your opinion and then encourage someone to agree, use deshou.
フィリピンは暑いでしょう? firipin wa atsui deshou? The Philippines is hot, isn't it? 痛いでしょう？ itai deshou? It hurts, doesn't it? [You see someone who has just slammed their head in the low doorway]
But usually でしょう is used to mean 'probably':
雨が降るでしょうね。 Ame ga furu deshou ne. It will probably rain, don't you think?
And another common usage is どうでしょう meaning 'how about...' or 'what do you think about'
うどんはどうでしょう？ udon wa dou deshou? How about some Udon?
Meet the wonderful 'と to.' Mr. と can act as a quotation marker ("). Don't confuse this with the と that means 'and.' Very often if you are quoting someone or some source. This is best shown with examples:
「俺はスーパマン」と言いました。 ore wa su-paman to iimashita. He said, "I am Superman."
あの絵は十世紀に作ったと書いてあります。 ano e wa juu seiki ni tsukutta to kaite arimasu. The book says (it is written) that this painting was made in the 10th century.
It can also be used to mark sound effects of things or animals:
あの犬は「ワン」と言いました。 ano inu wa 'wan' to iimashita.
There are many other usages for 'to.' Paying attention to each usage will help you get a good grasp.
It isn't a sin to be negative. Interesting I should say that...'sin' sounds like'sen' which marks the negative in Japanese in the -masu form. (Ok, so I set that one up...)
話せます hanasemasu - can speak becomes...
私は、日本語が話せません。watashi wa nihongo ga hanasemasen. (I) can't speak Japanese.
分かります wakarimasu - understand becomes...
私は、英語が分かりません。watashi wa eigoga wakarimasen. (I) don't understand English.
If you can make the -masu form, just drop the す and add the せん。
Making negative verb endings.
To make the negative in the plain, or simple, form by taking the basic stem and adding ない to it.
With the 'ru' verbs you simply drop the る and add ない as in 忘れる wasureru (to forget)...
日本語を忘れない。nihongo o wasurenai. (I) don't forget Japanese.
And for the 'u' verbs we change the ending 'u' sound to a 'a' sound as in 書く kaku -> 書か...
手紙を書かない。tegami o kakanai. (I) don't write letters.
する and other irregular verbs
する is しない in the simple form and しません in the polite form
スカイダイビングをしません。sukaidaibingu o shimasen. (I) don't do sky diving.
And 来る kuru is 来ない konai and 来ません kimasen in the formal...
ゴジラが来ない。gojira ga konai. Godzilla doesn't come.
To review the 3 types of verbs click here.
Plan to 予定、つもり
If you plan on speaking Japanese these two words are very useful.予定 yotei and つもり tsumori
予定 yotei and つもり are very similar in meaning and usage. 予定 conveys more of a 'schedule' feel whereas つもり is more of a 'conviction of doing something. All you have to do is to stick either on the end of a verb (simple form)...
To add つもり or 予定 to any verb just find the simple form...
日本に行くつもり/予定です。nihon ni iku tsumori (or yotei) desu. I intend to go to Japan. [if you use tsumori, you 'intend' to go one way or another; if you use yotei you already have a hard schedule set to leave at a certain time.]
Here is how you add it to a する verb
あなたと結婚するつもり/予定です。anata to kekkon suru tsumori (or yotei) desu. I intend to marry you.
You can also use it with nouns by sticking a の before the tsumori and after adjectives. But for now concentrate on the verb usage.
Punctuation 。 、「 」
Punctuation is in many ways similar to English. You have a comma, called a てんor とうてん(読点)and a period at the end of a sentence called a まる or くてん(句点)．The Japanese quotation mark 「 」 is called かぎカッコ(鉤括弧).
Let's quickly go over some common Punctuation thingies:
|。 the まる acts just like our period by ending the sentence. It looks like a ball - maru|
|、 the てん acts like a comma. This is often found after は as in わたし

Why do we still use 18-year old BLEU?
The BLEU metric was introduced in 2002. In the 18 years since, Machine Translation (MT) and other aspects of NLP have changed radically; MT systems in 2020 work differently than MT systems in 2002, and produce much better translations. But MT evaluation has not changed; people still use the 18-year old BLEU metric.
So why has techology evolved but not evaluation techniques? Plenty of alternatives to BLEU have been proposed. WMT has a yearly "metrics" challenge where people propose new evaluation metrics, and every year many metrics are proposed which correlate better with human judgements than BLEU does. In recent years, WMT also has had a "quality estimation" track, which also has many interesting ideas for evaluation. But outwith these tracks, everyone still uses BLEU.
Similarly the ROUGE metric for summarisation was proposed in 2003, and it is still dominates summarisation evaluation despite the fact that the evidence that it is meaningful is much weaker than for BLEU.
So why is the NLP research community so reluctant to change its evaluation techniques, even when new techniques seem to be produce more meaningful results?
Science: Strong evidence base?
Perhaps we continue to use BLEU because there is a strong evidence base for its validity in predicting human judgements. My 2018 meta-analysis of BLEU's validity summarised results from 284 correlations between BLEU and human evaluations, which were reported in 34 papers. This extensive evidence base allows us to use BLEU when it is appropriate and not otherwise. So perhaps researchers are reluctant to switch to different metrics and evaluation techniques because these other techniques lack this kind of evidence base?
If this was the reason for BLEU's continued dominance, then the research community needs to have a discussion about how to solve the "chicken and egg" problem where we don't build up evidence of the validity of new metrics because people refuse to use them.
However, I personally dont believe the existence of a good evidence base is why people continue to use BLEU. This is because (A) many researchers ignore the evidence base and use BLEU in contexts such as NLGand German-English MT where the evidence base says that BLEU should not be used; and (B) ROUGE is dominant in summarisation evaluation despite the fact that it's supporting evidence base is much weaker than BLEU's.
Gamesmanship: We want a scoring function, not evaluation of utility?
Perhaps the real reason for the continued use of BLEU is that the research community isnt actually very interested in evaluating (or predicting) how useful an NLP system or model is. Instead, what it wants is a simple "scoring function" which enables researchers to publish endless papers about how their system does 1% better on a data set.
To put it crudely, perhaps NLP researchers focus on winning contests where they show that their model gets a better score than other models. And they dont really care whether the score is meaningful or not, they just take the scoring function as a given (like the scoring function in a computer game) and try to beat the other players in the contest.
If this is the case, then we would expect that whenever a new series of contests open up, whatever scoring function is chosen for these initial contests will persist and become established as the proper way to keep score in such contests. Indeed, attempts to change the scoring function on the basis that it is not "realistic" will be resisted by established players who have put a lot of time and energy into understanding the original scoring function.
In other words, BLEU is used because it was the first plausible metric for MT, and researchers dont want to change to other metrics because they understand and are comfortable with BLEU.
I suspect there is a lot of truth to this perspective. It certainly does explain why it is so difficult to dislodge established metrics even if new ones are proposed which are much better at predicting utility or human judgements.
Implications for Evaluation Research
I'm involved in a few different initiatives about evaluation, and I must admit that the above worries me. After all, there isnt much point in developing great new evaluation techniques if the research community will refuse to use them!
Most of my efforts are focused on human evaluation, and I think people who conduct human evaluations are interested in new ideas and understanding what constitutes best practice (eg van der Lee et al 2019). But I am beginning to wonder if it is almost impossible to get the NLP community to use a new BLEU-like metric for an established task.
2 thoughts on "Why do we still use 18-year old BLEU?
 1. Excellent post. My opinion is that BLEU is still widely used because if is easy to compute…
 To answer your last point: maybe a good initiative would be that NLP (and specifically NLG) industrial providers unite to define a real metric that correctly reflects user needs. This would be at least a powerful argument to replace BLEU in evaluation tasks.

Define work requests
The getting started guide covered how to create a simple WorkRequest and enqueue it.
In this guide you will learn how to define and customize WorkRequest objects to handle common use cases, such as how to:
 - Schedule one-time and recurring work
 - Set work constraints like requiring Wi-Fi or charging
 - Guarantee a minimum delay in work execution
 - Set retry and back-off strategies
 - Pass input data to work
 - Group related work together using tags
Overview
Work is defined in WorkManager via a WorkRequest. In order to schedule any work with WorkManager you must first create a WorkRequest object and then enqueue it.
Kotlin
val myWorkRequest = ...
WorkManager.getInstance(myContext).enqueue(myWorkRequest)
Java
WorkRequest myWorkRequest = ...
WorkManager.getInstance(myContext).enqueue(myWorkRequest);
The WorkRequest object contains all of the information needed by WorkManager to schedule and run your work. It includes constraints which must be met for your work to run, scheduling information such as delays or repeating intervals, retry configuration, and may include input data if your work relies on it.
WorkRequest itself is an abstract base class. There are two derived implementations of this class that you can use to create the request, OneTimeWorkRequest and PeriodicWorkRequest. As their names imply, OneTimeWorkRequest is useful for scheduling non-repeating work, whilst PeriodicWorkRequest is more appropriate for scheduling work that repeats on some interval.
Schedule one-time work
For simple work, which requires no additional configuration, use the static method from:
Kotlin
val myWorkRequest = OneTimeWorkRequest.from(MyWork::class.java)
Java
WorkRequest myWorkRequest = OneTimeWorkRequest.from(MyWork.class);
For more complex work, you can use a builder.
Kotlin
val uploadWorkRequest: WorkRequest =
 OneTimeWorkRequestBuilder<MyWork>()
 // Additional configuration
 .build()
Java
WorkRequest uploadWorkRequest =
 new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder(MyWork.class)
 // Additional configuration
 .build();
Schedule periodic work
Your app may at times require that certain work runs periodically. For example, you may want to periodically backup your data, download fresh content in your app, or upload logs to a server.
Here is how you use the PeriodicWorkRequest to create a WorkRequest object which executes periodically:
Kotlin
val saveRequest =
 PeriodicWorkRequestBuilder<SaveImageToFileWorker>(1, TimeUnit.HOURS)
 // Additional configuration
 .build()
Java
PeriodicWorkRequest saveRequest =
 new PeriodicWorkRequest.Builder(SaveImageFileWorker.class, 1, TimeUnit.HOURS)
 // Constraints
 .build();
In this example, the work is scheduled with a one hour interval.
The interval period is defined as the minimum time between repetitions. The exact time that the worker is going to be executed depends on the constraints that you are using in your WorkRequest object and on the optimizations performed by the system.
Flexible run intervals
If the nature of your work makes it sensitive to run timing, you can configure your PeriodicWorkRequest to run within a flex period inside each interval period, as shown in Figure 1.
You can set a flex interval for a periodic job. You define a repeat interval, and a flex interval that specifies a certain amount of time at the end of the repeat interval. WorkManager attempts to run your job at some point during the flex interval in each cycle.
Figure 1. Diagram shows repeating intervals with the flexible period in which the work can run.
To define periodic work with a flex period, you pass a flexInterval along with the repeatInterval when creating the PeriodicWorkRequest. The flex period begins at repeatInterval - flexInterval, and goes to the end of the interval.
The following is an example of periodic work that can run during the last 15 minutes of every one hour period.
Kotlin
val myUploadWork = PeriodicWorkRequestBuilder<SaveImageToFileWorker>(
 1, TimeUnit.HOURS, // repeatInterval (the period cycle)
 15, TimeUnit.MINUTES) // flexInterval
 .build()
Java
WorkRequest saveRequest =
 new PeriodicWorkRequest.Builder(UploadWork.class,
 1, TimeUnit.HOURS,
 15, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
 .build();
The repeat interval must be greater than or equal to PeriodicWorkRequest.MIN_PERIODIC_INTERVAL_MILLIS and the flex interval must be greater than or equal to PeriodicWorkRequest.MIN_PERIODIC_FLEX_MILLIS.
Effect of Constraints on Periodic Work
You can apply constraints to periodic work. For example, you could add a constraint to your work request such that the work only runs when the user's device is charging. In this case, even if the defined repeat interval passes, the PeriodicWorkRequest will not run until this condition is met. This could cause a particular run of your work to be delayed, or even skipped if the conditions are not met within the run interval.
Work constraints
Constraints ensure that work is deferred until optimal conditions are met. The following constraints are available to WorkManager.
NetworkType Constrains the type of network required for your work to run. For example, Wi-Fi (UNMETERED).
BatteryNotLow When set to true, your work will not run if the device is in low battery mode.
RequiresCharging When set to true, your work will only run when the device is charging.
DeviceIdle When set to true, this requires the user's device to be idle before the work will run. This can be useful for running batched operations that might otherwise have a negative performance impact on other apps running actively on the user's device.
StorageNotLow When set to true, your work will not run if the user's storage space on the device is too low.
To create a set of constraints and associate it with some work, create a Constraints instance using the Contraints.Builder() and assign it to your WorkRequest.Builder().
For example, the following code builds a work request which only runs when the user's device is both charging and on Wi-Fi:
Kotlin
val constraints = Constraints.Builder()
 .setRequiredNetworkType(NetworkType.UNMETERED)
 .setRequiresCharging(true)
 .build()
val myWorkRequest: WorkRequest =
 OneTimeWorkRequestBuilder<MyWork>()
 .setConstraints(constraints)
 .build()
Java
Constraints constraints = new Constraints.Builder()
 .setRequiredNetworkType(NetworkType.UNMETERED)
 .setRequiresCharging(true)
 .build();
WorkRequest myWorkRequest =
 new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder(MyWork.class)
 .setConstraints(constraints)
 .build();
When multiple constraints are specified, your work will run only when all the constraints are met.
In the event that a constraint becomes unmet while your work is running, WorkManager will stop your worker. The work will then be retried when all the constraints are met.
Delayed Work
In the event that your work has no constraints or that all the constraints are met when your work is enqueued, the system may choose to run the work immediately. If you do not want the work to be run immediately, you can specify your work to start after a minimum initial delay.
Here is an example of how to set your work to run at least 10 minutes after it has been enqueued.
Kotlin
val myWorkRequest = OneTimeWorkRequestBuilder<MyWork>()
 .setInitialDelay(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
 .build()
Java
WorkRequest myWorkRequest =
 new OneTimeWorkRequest.Builder(MyWork.class)
 .setInitialDelay(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
 .build();
While the example illustrates how to set an initial delay for a OneTimeWorkRequest, you can also set an initial delay for a PeriodicWorkRequest. In that case, only the first run of your periodic work would be delayed.
Retry and Backoff Policy
If you require that WorkManager retry your work, you can return Result.retry() from your worker. Your work is then rescheduled according to a backoff delay and backoff policy.
 - Backoff delay specifies the minimum amount of time to wait before retrying your work after the first attempt. This value can be no less than 10 seconds (or MIN_BACKOFF_MILLIS).
 - Backoff policy defines how the backoff delay should increase over time for subsequent retry attempts. WorkManager supports 2 backoff policies, LINEAR and EXPONENTIAL.
Every work request has a backoff policy and backoff delay. The default policy is EXPONENTIAL with a delay of 10 seconds, but you can override this in your work request configuration.
Here is an example of custom

Secure shoelace knot is a variation of the two loop shoelace knot. It is one of several more secure
alternatives to the common shoelace knot. Secure shoelace knot is made by looping the top part of the
knot twice instead of once, which results in a finished knot of almost identical appearance but with
the laces wrapped twice around the middle.
It is relatively easy to tie and easy to untie.
Good for slippery laces.
Used for tying shoelaces in sports, mountain climbing, boating and other activities where secure
yet easily untied knot is needed.
To release just pull by the free ends just like ordinary shoelace knot.
Way more secure than the standard shoelace knot.
Turquoise Turtle Shoelace Knot, Shoemaker's Knot, Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot, Surgeon's Shoelace Knot,
Double Slip Knot
1. Start by tying an overhand knot just like in standard shoelace knot.
2. Fold both lace ends into loops.
3. Put one loop over the other.
4. Feed one loop through the hole in the middle.
5. Feed second loop through the hole from the opposite side.
6. Pull both loops to tighten the knot.

Ore investigates the problem with red kites
Bird experts are asking the public to stop feeding red kites after reports of them swooping down to steal food off school pupils.
About 40 years ago there were only a few pairs of the birds of prey in the UK and special projects have reintroduced them to the wild.
But the red kites have tried to take food from students in Watlington, Oxfordshire.
Pupils have been told not to eat their lunches in the playing fields.
One student, Joe, said: "Red kites come and swarm around everyone when they're eating. They've swooped down to grab it out of our hand."
Red kites were reintroduced to the Chilterns area in the 1990s after becoming extinct in England.
Red kite facts
Became extinct in England in 1871
Typical diet of mice, moles, worms, small rabbits and carrion
Average wingspan 1.5m!
A 2011 RSPB survey recorded 2,000 breeding pairs, an increase of more than 130% from the year before.
Bird experts says that people need to stop feeding the red kites, which will encourage them to hunt - and their population will spread out as they find their own hunting ground.
Cathy Rose, from the Chilterns Conservation Board, said: "We should not encourage them to come down by putting additional food out.
"Then their numbers will actually become balanced with the amount of food that nature can provide for them.
"Let them survive naturally in the wild and they will control their own numbers that way."

PV05900 - SEMI PV59 - Test Method for Determination of Total Carbon Content in Silicon Powder by Infrared Absorption After Combustion in an Induction Furnace
The purpose of this Test Method is to standardize analytical protocols for the determination of total carbon content in photovoltaic (PV) silicon raw materials which may affect the properties and performances of PV solar product or its processing. This will facilitate the comparison of test results among worldwide laboratories used for monitoring or qualifying PV silicon raw materials.
This Test Method can be used to analyze the total carbon content in silicon powder as the raw material for producing solar-grade polycrystalline silicon. It may also be used for determining the total carbon content in single and multicrystalline silicon wafers and slugs if they were broken into small pieces or powder without contamination.
The Test Method is for use with commercially available carbon analyzers which are based on combustion in an induction furnace principle and use infrared detector as the measuring technique.
The detection range of the method described is between 0.001% (m/m) and 1.0% (m/m).
Some impurities or carbon from a lower grade accelerator can affect the accuracy of analysis data. It is recommended to use only high purity accelerator.

Same sex marriage uk facts for kids in Surrey
Hi, Myself and my ex have had two children via ivf through a clinic in UK, we are both biological parents to one of each children with the same anonymous donor.

QA Qatar Domain - Nameservers (NS or DNS) Record Update Time
 Saturday, April 29, 2023
When it comes to managing a website, one of the most critical aspects is to ensure that your domain nameservers (NS or DNS) are updated correctly. This article will discuss the importance of updating your nameservers and how long it takes for QA Qatar domain nameservers to update.
Importance of Updating Nameservers:
Nameservers are the backbone of the Domain Name System (DNS), which is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses. When you update your nameservers, it tells the internet where to find your website, email server, and other online services. This makes it essential to keep your nameservers up-to-date so that your website remains accessible and functions correctly.
Time Required for QA Qatar Domain Nameservers to Update:
The time it takes for nameserver updates to take effect can vary based on several factors, such as the domain registrar, DNS hosting provider, and internet service providers. In general, it can take up to 24-48 hours for QA Qatar domain nameservers to update fully.
Factors Affecting Nameserver Update Time:
 1. DNS Propagation: When you update your nameservers, DNS propagation needs to occur for the changes to take effect. DNS propagation refers to the time it takes for DNS servers worldwide to update their records with the new information.
 2. TTL (Time to Live) Settings: TTL settings determine how long a DNS server caches the DNS information before checking for updates again. If your TTL settings are set to a longer duration, it can take longer for the DNS changes to propagate.
 3. DNS Server: The time it takes for nameservers to update can also depend on your DNS Server. Some DNS servers like CloudFlare have faster propagation times than others.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, updating your nameservers is crucial to ensure that your website remains accessible and functions correctly. While it can take up to 24-48 hours for QA Qatar domain nameservers to update fully, there are several factors that can affect the update time. By understanding these factors, you can better plan for DNS changes and ensure that they take effect as quickly as possible.

What is lindane?
Healthcare vs. Agricultural Uses
In the 1940s, lindane was registered with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for agricultural use, and in 1951 it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for medical use in the treatment of scabies, head lice and pubic lice (crabs).1,2 Comparatively, more than 99% of all lindane sold in the U.S. has been for agricultural purposes.3 (See 2006 EPA RED on Agricultural Lindane)
<1% of lindane use in the U.S. has been for medical purposes3
Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) exists as eight (8) distinct forms, or isomers4
Lindane belongs to a group of related compounds described chemically as hexachlorocyclohexanes, or HCH. There are several different forms (or isomers) of HCH. Lindane is the gamma form.
- Isomers are variations of a single molecule that share the same chemical formula, but have different three-dimensional structures
- Because of their different structures, each isomer of HCH has different chemical properties and different safety profiles
The most relevant forms of HCH to public health and the environment include:3
- Gamma-HCH (i.e., lindane)
Lindane should not be mistaken for other forms of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)
It is important to distinguish gamma-HCH (i.e., lindane) from other forms of HCH, since some of the environmental and health claims made about lindane by those wishing to ban its use may, in fact, apply primarily or exclusively to non-gamma forms.
Alphaand beta-HCH are the most toxic forms
- Alphaand beta-HCH are notably the more toxic isomers and are the dominant forms found in the environment3,5
- Alphaand beta-HCH are also the most common forms of HCH found in animal and human tissues and fluids3,5
- Lindane (i.e., gamma-HCH) is the only isomer with insecticidal activity3; alphaand beta-HCH provide no value to agriculture or healthcare
Lindane medications contain pharmaceutical-grade gamma-HCH
- Lindane medications have always been formulated with pharmaceutical-grade lindane—a highly purified form of gamma-HCH
- Technical-grade HCH—a mixture of alpha-HCH (60%–70%), beta-HCH (5%–12%), and gamma-HCH (10%–15%)—was used agriculturally in the U.S. until 1978 but is still used in other parts of the world3
- Technical-grade HCH has never been used in medicine
Occupational exposure and patient safety are different issues
Occupational exposure to lindane is a separate issue from exposure resulting from approved medical uses. Occupational exposure relates to agricultural use of lindane and chronic exposure of farm workers who handle seeds pre-treated with agricultural-grade lindane, or those working in seed-treatment facilities. A major focus of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) assessment of lindane safety has related to agricultural uses and occupational exposure.2 (See 2006 EPA RED on Agricultural Lindane)
Occupational exposure vs. medical application:
- Occupational exposure to lindane poses different risks of potentially greater concern, since workers may be exposed to high and persistent concentrations of lindane2,6
- In contrast, lindane medications are applied in relatively small amounts and in low concentration, typically as one-time treatments7,8
- Moreover, there are no health benefits that result from occupational exposure to lindane2
- FDA Lindane Assessment Memorandum:6
"This risk of occupational/environmental exposure should be assessed separately and independent of the risk related to the therapeutic use of a medication to treat a medical condition where there is direct benefit to the patient"
The FDA and the EPA have affirmed the safety of lindane medications
Since their introduction to the U.S. healthcare market in 1951, lindane medications have undergone repeated and comprehensive reviews by medical and scientific subject matter experts working with the FDA and the EPA. Consistently, expert reviewers have concluded that lindane medications do not pose a significant risk to public health or public safety when used as currently labeled.2,6
Lindane Lotion, 1% USP is FDA approved for the treatment of scabies; Lindane Shampoo, 1% USP is FDA approved for the treatment of head lice and pubic lice (crabs). Both prescription medications are indicated second line, meaning they are used when other first-line medications have failed or cannot be tolerated.7,8

We can prove this by induction. For $n=1$, the set $\{a_1\}$ is relatively prime if and only if $a_1$ is a unit, and thus $(a_{11})$ is invertible.
So assume that we can extend any set of $n$ relatively prime elements to an invertible matrix, and let $n+1$ relatively prime elements $a_1,\dotsc,a_{n+1}$ be given. Let $g=\gcd(a_1,\dotsc,a_n)$. Then we can write $a_i=gb_i$ for $1\le i\le n$, with the $b_i$ relatively prime, and we can extend the $b_i$ to an invertible $n\times n$ matrix $B$. If we multiply the first row of $B$ by $g$, we can place it into the upper left $n\times n$ block of the matrix $A$ to be constructed, and we'll have $a_i=gb_i$ in the right place for $1\le i\le n$. Now place a multiple of the first row of $B$ into the $n+1$-th row of $A$, with the multiplier $r$ yet to be determined, and fill the $n+1$-th column with zeros except for the first and last elements $a_{n+1}$ and $s$, with $s$ yet to be determined. Now the determinant of the upper left $n\times n$ block is $g\det B$, and the determinant of the lower left $n\times n$ block is $(-1)^{n+1}r\det B$, so by Laplace expansion the determinant of the entire matrix $A$ is
$$\det A=sg\det B+ a_{n+1}r\det B=(sg+ ra_{n+1})\det B\;.$$
Since $a_1,\dotsc,a_{n+1}$ are relatively prime, $g$ and $a_{n+1}$ are relatively prime. Thus we can choose $r$ and $s$ such that the expression in parentheses is $1$ and $\det A = \det B$. But a matrix over a commutative ring is invertible if and only if its determinant is invertible (see Do these matrix rings have non-zero elements that are neither units nor zero divisors? and necessary and sufficient condition for trivial kernel of a matrix over a commutative ring). Thus, since $B$ is invertible, $A$ is invertible.

What is the difference between drupal_get_form() and drupal_retrieve_form()? Can someone explain the difference? I look at the API, but the description seems similar to me.
 - I think one key difference is that drupal_retrieve_form() allows your code to access the updated $form_state as it's passed by reference, however drupal_get_form() just return the $form, not the state. – Felix Eve Apr 7 '16 at 0:32
The difference is that drupal_get_form() handles retrieving, processing, and displaying a rendered HTML form for modules automatically, while drupal_retrieve_form() returns the structured array that defines a form.
Retrieving the form
drupal_get_form() first checks if the form is present in the form cache with form_get_cache(); if it isn't present, it calls drupal_retrieve_form(), and drupal_prepare_form().
Processing the form
drupal_get_form() calls drupal_process_form(), which is the function that calls drupal_validate_form(), and that invokes the submission handlers with form_execute_handlers().
Rendering the form
The rendering is done from drupal_process_form(), which calls form_builder().
In most of the cases, drupal_get_form() is the function to use, such as in the following code.
function node_menu() {
 $items['admin/content'] = array(
 'title' => 'Content',
 'description' => 'Find and manage content.',
 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
 'page arguments' => array('node_admin_content'),
 'access arguments' => array('access content overview'),
 'weight' => -10,
 'file' => 'node.admin.inc',
 // …
 return $items;
The only module I found that is calling drupal_retrieve_form() directly is the Mollom module in mollom_moderate(), which uses it for automatically submitting a form. The code could use drupal_form_submit(), but (as a comment says), "Programmatic form submissions are not able to automatically use the primary form submit button/action, so we need to resemble drupal_form_submit()."
 $form_id = $form_info['delete form'];
 $form_state = form_state_defaults();
 // We assume that all delete confirmation forms take the fully loaded
 // entity as (only) argument.
 $messages[] = "Attempt to load $form_info[entity] entity via entity_load().";
 $entities = entity_load($data->entity, array($data->id));
 $form_state['build_info']['args'][] = $entities[$data->id];
 $form = drupal_retrieve_form($form_id, $form_state);
 $form_state['values'] = array();
 $form_state['values']['mollom']['feedback'] = '';
 // Take over the primary submit button of confirm_form().
 $form_state['values']['op'] = $form['actions']['submit']['_TAG_'];
 $form_state['input'] = $form_state['values'];
 $form_state['programmed'] = TRUE;
 // Programmed forms are always submitted.
 $form_state['submitted'] = TRUE;
 // Reset form validation.
 $form_state['must_validate'] = TRUE;
 drupal_prepare_form($form_id, $form, $form_state);
 drupal_process_form($form_id, $form, $form_state);
 $result = $form_state['executed'];

In order to render mine water a whole lot less toxic, the key could be letting a fungus bloom. Some fungi produce a superoxide when they grow, which is instrumental in cleaning up polluting metals. This superoxide reacts with locally available Magnesium(II), and is oxidized to Mn(III) or Mn(IV), which in turn suck up the likes of arsenic, cadmium, and cobalt.
This reaction isn't news, but what is is how and when it takes place. Up until now, mines would often try and cause this reaction to happen more by dumping foods for the fungus, like straw, and hoping that would stimulate the reaction. A new study in PNAS has shown what really causes the reaction to occur, and it's all about breeding.
Stilbella aciculosa only produces the superoxide during cell differentiation, when it forms asexual reproductive structures. In other words, when it's making spores. It uses the superoxide as a cellular signal to moderate differentiation, its love affair with Mn(II) is potentially just a (good for us) side effect.
So if it's during blooming that the superoxide is created, how do we get the fungus to do that more often? Unfortunately, that's a very good question that we don't really know the answer to. But now we're a step closer along the way.

Can benzaldehydes be made via Fries rearrangement?
(Rated as: excellent)
Yes, they can. It took me a damn long time to find some sort of reliable article supporting my "dreams"...
What is the Fries rearrangement? - Esters of phenols on heating with anhydrous AlCl3 (a typical Lewis acid) undergo rearrangement to give phenolic ketones. A typical example is rearrangement of phenyl acetate to give mixture of o- and p-hydroxy acetophenone. [...] The mechanism of Fries reaction is not certain. There is evidence for an intermolecular mechanism, but recently it has been shown that the rearrangement is at least partly intramolecular. It would appear that the mechanism is best regarded as a combination of the two mechanisms occuring simultaneously. [...] An example is the synthesis of 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethylacetophenone in 80% yield. A synthetically useful example of this process is the preparation of 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone from hydroquinone diacetate in good yield. 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone can not be prepared by Friedel-Crafts acetylation of hydroquinone. (taken from: Organic Reaction Mechanisms. VK Ahluwalia, RK Parashar. Alpha Science, Pangbourne Engeland, 2002)

Can aromatic aldehydes be prepared from aryl formates via the Fries rearrangement? - The original article has been published in Zeitschrift fuer Naturforschung, so I guess yet again it is a small number of elite bees who can have a taste of some really nice chemistry *cough* *cough*
Original article: G Ziegler, E Haug, W Frey, W Kantlehner. Orthoamide, LVII. Lassen sich aromatische Aldehyde nach Fries aus Arylformiaten herstellen? Z Naturforsch 56b (2001) _PHONE_
Abstract: The aromatic hydroxyaldehydes 3a-3g, 5a-5f, 8, 10 can be prepared by the action of BCl3, BBr3 or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, on the aryl formates 1a-1f, 4a-e, 7, 9 via Fries rearrangement. BBr3 is more effective than BCl3. The activating ability of BBr3 can be improved by addition of FeCl3. Rearrangements which are induced by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid can give rise to the formations of regioisomers, which might be different from the products formed when the reaction is performed with Lewis acids. The yields of the aldehydes are lowered by subsequent condensation reactions. This view was confirmed by the isolation of a condensation product, which was characterized as a dibenzo[a,j]xanthene derivative 6 by crystal structure analysis. For the Fries rearrangement of formyl groups a new mechanism is proposed. 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde 5c can be obtained in good yield from formic acid, BBr3, and 2-naphtol.
Translated Capita Selecta: [...] The usual Lewis acids that have been applied in the Fries rearrangement are AlCl3, FeCl3, BF3, SnCl4, TiCl4 and ZnCl2. Since recently, trifluoromethanesulfonic derivatives of rare metals have found an application as well. However, we were very surprised when we didn't find any reported use of BCl3 nor BBr3 as Fries catalyst.
In a first setup, 3,5-dimethoxy-O-formyl phenol (1a) has been reacted with BCl3 (1:1.2) using DCE as solvent. Temperatures varied between 5 and 20°. Benzaldehyde 3a was isolated in 94% yield.
3-methoxy-O-formyl phenol (1b) has been reacted with BCl3 in a similar way, although the corresponding benzaldehyde 3b could only be isolated in 27% yield. Using BBr3 instead increased the yield to 59%. Also using BBr3, we could obtain benzaldehyde 3d from 1c in 72% yield.
3a - 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxybenzaldehyde: to 7.28 g (0.040 mol) 1a in 20 mL DCE, 50 mL 1 M BCl3 (in DCE) is dropped while cooled in an ice bath. The ice bath is removed and the mixture allowed to react for an additional 2 hours at RT. The mixture is hydrolyzed with 100 mL water and filtered. The organic phase is isolated, washed with 20 mL water and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent is removed at 12 Torr and the residue is recrystallized from water/IPA (1:4). Yield: 94%, mp 69°.
3b - 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (via BBr3): To a solution of 4.62 g (0.030 mol) 1b in 25 mL DCE, 7.50 g (0.030 mol) BBr3 in 5 mL DCE is added dropwise at a temperature between -10° and 0°. After having stirred for three hours, the mixture is stirred for another 20 hours at 20° to pour it in 500 mL water (containing some ice and 8.4 g NaHCO3). An additional 5 mL DCE is added and the mixture acidified with a small amount HOAc. The organic phase is isolated, and the aqueous phase extracted with 50 mL DCE. The unified organic fractions are washed with water and stripped from solvent under vacuum. The target compound is obtained via steam distillation, filtered off and dried. Yield: 59%, mp: 43°.
3d - 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde: To 1.82 g (0.010 mol) 1c in 20 mL DCE, a solution of 1.1 mL BBr3 in 5 mL DCE (at -14°) is added dropwise. When the addition is completed, the temperature is allowed to rise to 15° during the next 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture is hydrolyzed by pouring it into a solution of 0.1 mol NaHCO3 in 200 mL water. The organic phase was isolated and the aqueous phase treated twice with 50 mL DCE. The unified DCE fractions are washed with 50 mL water and dried over Na2SO4. After distillation of the solvent, 1.30 g of 3d can be retrieved. It is spectroscopically pure (1H-NMR) and can be recrystallized from water/MeOH (1:8). Yield: 72%, mp: 104°


If you're out and about and see an upside down sheep you could be forgiven for thinking it was just resting.
But Avon and Somerset Constabulary has warned it can actually be something much more sinister.
The force has warned people sheep could be in a near-death experience if they are lying on their back.
During the winter months sheep grow more wool and their fleece can become extremely heavy if there is a lot of rain.
his can cause the sheep to topple over due to the sheer weight and being left on their back.
If left for too long in this position, the animal can suffocate and die.
Police shared the following post on its rural crime page, Somerset Live reports.
A Facebook user has been warning others about the issue. In a post, she said: "If you spot a sheep in this position, they're not sunbathing.
"If they are left like this, they will die."
The post also offers advice on what to do if you find a sheep in the awkward position.
It says: "If you are able to, turn them up the right way, or try to find someone that can.
"If they have been upside down for a long time, it may take several attempts for them to stay upright."
The post also says people may have to hold on to them for a while while the water drains from their coats.

On tablets and convertible devices, Windows 10 can control their motion sensor to rotate the desktop to landscape or portrait mode automatically depending on the orientation of the screen.
However, sometimes auto-rotation in desktop or tablet mode may stop working for no apparent reason, or the "Rotation lock" option may appear grayed out making it impossible for Windows 10 to turn the screen to the correct orientation automatically.
If auto-rotation isn't working after covering your troubleshooting basics, such as checking for updates and restarting your device, there are a number of steps you can follow to fix this issue.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through five solutions you can try to get screen rotation working again on your tablet or convertible.
How to fix screen auto-rotation problems on Windows 10
Disconnecting peripherals
If you're using a 2-in-1 device like the Surface Pro, accessories, such as a detachable keyboard or dock can cause screen rotation problems.
To check if an accessory is causing rotation problems, do the following:
 1. Disconnect the keyboard, dock, or external display.
 2. Change the orientation of the device to see if it rotates automatically.
Checking screen rotation settings
It's also likely that you might have accidentally turned on the rotation lock option that prevents your device from rotating. If this is the case, do the following:
 1. Use the Windows key + A keyboard shortcut to open Action Center.
 2. Click the Expand button.
 3. Click the Rotation lock to turn it off.
 - Quick Tip: You can also control this option under Scale and layout on Settings > System > Display.
 4. Change the orientation of the device to see if it rotates automatically.
In certain devices, such as the Microsoft Surface Pro, Windows 10 will lock screen rotation and disable the "Rotation lock" option when a keyboard is attached and in a typing position. However, folding the keyboard or closing the device will release the lock and the screen will once again rotate automatically.
Running troubleshooter
If the screen will still not rotate, you can use the Sensors Troubleshooter to fix the problem.
 1. Download the Sensor Troubleshooter from Microsoft.
 2. Double-click the SensorDiagnosticTablet.diagcab to launch the experience.
 3. Click the Next button.
 4. The utility will scan, detect, and fix common problems with the sensors on your computer, including the motion sensor.
 5. Click the Close button.
After completing the steps, try to change the orientation of the device to see if auto-rotation works.
Updating motion sensor driver
Although it's rare, the rotation problem could be caused by a driver issue. If this is the case, you should try updating the sensors driver.
You can check this guide to learn the steps on how to update a device driver. If you're using Device Manager, typically, this device will appear under "Sensor I/O devices" or "Sensors."
Fixing screen auto-rotation grayed out
If you have tried all the solutions, and you continue to see the rotation lock option grayed out, even after disconnecting the keyboard, dock, or disabling the external display, then do the following:
 3. Browse the following path:
 - Quick Tip: On the Windows 10 Creators Update and later, you can now copy and paste the path into the new Registry's address bar to quickly jump to the key destination.
 4. Double-click the Enable DWORD and make sure the value is set to 1.
 5. Click OK.
 6. Double-click the LastOrientation DWORD and make sure the value is set to 0.
 7. Click OK.
 8. Double-click the SensorPresent DWORD and make sure the value is set to 1.
 9. Click OK.
 10. Double-click the SlateEnable DWORD and make sure the value is set to 1.
 11. Click OK.
Once you've completed the steps, restart your device to see if auto-rotation works again.
If any of these DWORDs are missing from the AutoRotation key, you'll have to create them manually:
 1. While in the Registry, right-click the AutoRation key, select New, and click on DWORD (32-bit) Value.
 2. Enter the name of the key that is missing and press Enter.
 3. Double-click the newly DWORD key and make sure its value is set as described on steps No. 4, 6, 8, and 10 in the above instructions depending on the key you're creating.
After completing the steps, restart your device and try to change the screen orientation to see if it works.
In the case, you're still having issues, you can ask in the Windows Central forums for additional help.

Arithmetic Mean Proof
In this post, we show that if $latex a$ and $latex b$ are real numbers and $latex a$ is less than $latex b$, then their arithmetic mean is greater than $latex a$. That is, $latex a < b$ implies
$latex a < \displaystyle \frac{a + b}{2}$.
Proof 1: Direct Proof
We know that $latex a < b$.
Dividing both sides by 2, we have
$latex \displaystyle \frac{a}{2} < \displaystyle \frac{b}{2}$.
Adding $latex \frac{a}{2}$ to both sides results to Continue reading

Definition: RTGS, is a short form for Real-Time Gross Settlement. It is a facility provided by the banks, that allows instant and complete settlement of funds from one bank to another and from one place to another, on an individual order basis. This means that the transactions are settled at the same time when they take place and so there is no waiting period.
Payments made through RTGS are final in nature which cannot be revoked. Moreover, the prescheduling of a transaction is allowed.
RTGS is mainly used for the high-value interbank transfer of money, in order to mitigate the risk of settlement and fraud.
Details Required for RTGS
The person (sender) who initiates the transfer must have the following details:
- Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) of the beneficiary's bank.
- Name of beneficiary
- Account number of the beneficiary
- Amount to be remitted
- Name of the beneficiary's bank and branch
- Account number of the sender/originator
Along with this, the bank branches of both the parties need to be RTGS-enabled, only then the transaction will be processed.
Minimum and Maximum Limit
This system is primarily developed to facilitate the transfer of large value funds between parties. Hence the least amount which is transferred through this system is Rs. 2 lakhs, while no maximum ceiling is there in RTGS.
Banks provide this service for a specified fee, wherein inward transactions are free, but a certain amount is charged on the outward transaction, depending upon the amount remitted.
How to do RTGS?
To transfer funds using RTGS, the first thing you require is the activation of internet banking facility. For this purpose, you need to visit your bank branch and complete the formalities for its activation. Nowadays, one can activate this facility online also using the concerned bank's website.
- Log in to the web portal, using the UserID and password.
- Once you enter the user ID and password, you will land at your account and profile where you have to select the profile.
- Thereafter click on Add and manage beneficiary.
- Then, you need to enter your profile password and click the submit button.
- You will see various options for adding a beneficiary, choose the relevant option as per your need.
- Upon clicking the appropriate option, you will be asked to fill the details of the beneficiary.
- Check the details and click on approve now button.
- Next click on the approve beneficiary radio button, where you will have two options – Approve through ATM, or Approve through OTP
- If you choose to approve through OTP, you will receive a high-security password at your registered mobile number, linked to the account. Now simply enter the password and click on approve button.
- Once the beneficiary is added the following steps are required to follow:
- Go to the payment/transfer tab and click inter-bank transfer.
- Select the Transaction Type, i.e RTGS and go to fund transfer section
- A list of beneficiaries will be displayed, select the beneficiary/payee
- Enter the amount to be transferred
- Select the checkbox stating that you agree with the terms of service and accept.
- Review the details and confirm.
In this way, the amount will be transferred successfully to the beneficiary's account.
Advantages of RTGS
- RTGS is one of the safest as well as the fastest mode of interbank transfer
- This facility is available on all business days, whose timings may vary from bank to bank.
- It is an immediate fund transfer mechanism.
- It is a paperless transfer of funds.
- The beneficiary is not required to visit the bank, to deposit the money.
- The funds can be transferred using the internet banking service.
Limitations of RTGS
- RTGS does not provide the facility to track the transaction to its customers, as only the positive confirmation feature is implemented by the central bank in which the remitting bank gets a message of fund transfer to the beneficiary bank, from the central bank.
In general, the beneficiary branches may receive funds in real-time, i.e. as and when the funds are sent by the remitting bank. The beneficiary bank has to credit the fund in the account of the beneficiary, within half an hour of the funds' transfer message.
However, if the funds are not transferred to the beneficiary's account due to the reasons like account frozen, or non-existence of account, then the funds are returned to the originating bank. Moreover, if there is a delay in refunding the failed amount, the initiating party is entitled to receive compensation at the current repo rate + 2%

Haringey Park is the oldest residential road in Crouch End and it contains what are perhaps my favourite houses in that part of Town. I've finally taken the time to understand why it is the way it is today and how it got there. That story is shared below
Haringey Park was the first road to be developed in Victorian Crouch End, with the first houses let by the late 1840s. By 1861, fifteen houses had been built and by 1871, the number had increased to 25, including two across the end of the road surrounded by very large gardens. Most houses were mid-Victorian villa type houses, with a dozen or so rooms.
Later sale and rental patterns suggest that the houses were probably built and largely owned by investors. For example in 1899, numbers 13-25 were offered for sale in one lot. A few years later, numbers 24 to 29 were sold in one lot.
Claims are made elsewhere that the road was originally gated. That may have been the case for a short while and I'm open to the possibility. However, such an arrangement is not shown on either of the detailed mid or late nineteenth century Ordnance Survey maps; neither it is mentioned in any of the mid or late nineteenth century sales and letting advertisements I have, which wax lyrical on other details concerning the desirability of the road. Nor have I seen any other evidence to support it.
During the early decades of development, the road was home to a range of well-to-do-residents. In 1861, four of the fifteen heads of household were living on independent means, five were in the professions and five were successful merchants. The fifteenth was, rather incongruously, a police constable. All households but the policeman's had between one and three staff, most commonly general servants, housemaids and cooks.
Those early houses include my favourites, numbers 13, 14 and 15.
In 1855 Park Congregational Chapel was opened on Crouch Hill facing the end of Haringey Park. A mid-Victorian community was now complete.
Fig. 3: Park Chapel on Crouch Hill, c 1875. The Chapel amalgamated with Ferme Park Baptist Church to form Union Church,
Crouch End in 1974. This building was then split in two, Half was bought by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics and used as a recording studio; the other half continued to operate as a church. Both uses continue to this day.
Things did not stand still for long in Haringey Park, however. By the last decade of the century, the road had already begun to change. The number of houses increased from 25 to 42 and at the Crouch Hill end, further development had begun.
The last house before Crouch Hill on the south side the road, had belonged to Reverend John Corbin, the Pastor for Park Chapel. After his death in 1890, the house was sold and along with the neighbouring vacant plot provided the land for the development of what are now numbers 35 to 42 Haringey Park as well as for Ivy Gardens. The advertisement placed for the sale of Corbin's house gives us a little sense of what it might have been like (although the five minutes walk to the station claim, suggests that not everything in it should be taken at face value!).
Corbin had been the pastor for Park Chapel from 1856 to 1871. His passing was mourned by the congregation and he was commemorated with the building of Corbin Hall in 1892, replacing the former school building, seen on the right on the picture above. (Previous changes in the 1860s, 70s and 80s and had already enlarged the southern portion of the chapel and altered the main entrance).
Although the new houses were built on a more modest scale, than the earlier ones, they were still a good size, with ten or eleven rooms in each.
The grainy photo below shows a still leafy Haringey Park. The new terrace of houses on the site of Corbin's house is on the right. On the left, where the library now stands, are the leafy gardens of the earlier buildings.
The next, rather clearer photo is shot in the opposite direction, showing the new terrace on the left and Park Chapel on Crouch Hill in the centre.
On the north side of the road two pairs of semi-detached houses were built, just around the corner from Crouch Hill.
The late nineteenth century development at the Crouch Hill end of Haringey Park is shown on the 1893 Ordnance Survey map. You'll note that the map shows Haringey Park as Harringay Park. Anyone who knows anything about our local history will know that the spelling of Harringay/Haringey is a vexed question that has occupied far too much of people's time. For present purposes, suffice it to say that the overwhelming majority of contemporary local references used the -ey form. One can only assume then that the usage of the -ay spelling on this map was an oversight.
Changes at the Crouch Hill End were completed by the end of the century with the laying out and development of Hatherley Gardens.
The subsequent development phase shifted to the far end of the road. The mid-century villas that stood on the eastern hundred yards of the road were sold in two lots. Bourne Road was laid out and connected to Haringey Park, necessitating the demolition of the two villas that had stood at the end of the formerly close-ended road. On the south side, numbers 25 to 39 were demolished and on the north, 13 to 22 were sold with some later to be converted to flats.
The houses on the southern side were replaced with two mansion blocks called Ravensdale Mansions. Next to them, Sandringham Gardens was laid out and two pairs of late Victorian semis were erected.
The once tranquil and sparsely populated road had changed significantly in nature. The 1911 census suggests that the type of occupants had changed too. Whilst there were still one or two people of independent means, the merchant and professional occupants had, by and large, moved on and the road had become more clerical and commercial.
The occupant group in 1911 included commercial travellers, articled clerks, a dressmaker and a builder. One house was described as a boarding house and one was running as a nursing home.
In the 1920s, at the far end of the road, on the north side, the last two villas were converted to flats and named Haringey Park Mansions (Park Mansions by the 1930s). By 1929, number 16 and 17 had been converted to flats as Harcourt House. Two years later number 18 had been subsumed into the Harcourt development and by 1938, they had been renamed Harcourt Mansions.
At the Crouch Hill End the road was lined now with shops.
Fig. 11: The south corner of the junction with Crouch Hill c1910. On the corner is Norris's florist shop.
Fig. 12: The north corner of the junction with Crouch Hill c1905. On the corner is Agnew's dressmaker.
But bigger changes were also afoot. We know from an advertisement for sale placed at the end of the nineteenth century that numbers 13 to 23, on the north side of the road, had been sold as a single lot. This unified ownership had clearly allowed for the easy development of the land for purposes other than residential. Half of the long gardens of numbers 13 to 18 were sold and given over to light industry. In 1919, a business called Slabs Ltd was established. The owners described their business as follows.
To acquire and carry on the business of manufacturers and dealers in building materials and appliances.
(The Builder 1919)
By 1925, the premises had been taken over as a car service facility run on behalf of Morris Motors. By 1929 it had been taken over by Lyne and Wagstaff, and run as Morris's North London Service Centre. In 1948 the firm moved to 3 Crouch End Hill. They moved again soon afterwards to 163 Tottenham Lane (until recently this premises was being run as Kwik Fit). The Haringey Park property was sold and run as a coach building works.
Just to the west of the motor business, the land was acquired by the Borough of Hornsey and, by 1935, the new Hornsey Town Hall was up and running.
Just to its east a small cluster of buildings was erected to serve as the new Borough of Hornsey School Clinic.

In 1937, the Borough bought numbers 9 and 10, Haringey Park and before long demolished the houses. After leaving the land empty during the war, the space was developed as a small park shortly after the war.
In the 1960s the Borough bought numbers 6, 7, and 8 to the west of the small park and numbers 11 and 12 to its east. The land was used for the development of the new Hornsey Library. Built between 1963 and 1965, it opened just as Hornsey was being amalgamated into the new Borough of Haringey.
During this period the borough also acquired number 32 Haringey Park, opposite the library. This building was used used as a children's care home from 1963 until the early years of this century, when it used the name of Haringey Park Children's Home.
During the later part of the last century, the industrial usage to the east of the Town Hall ended and by 2003, it was developed as flats in the clumsily-named Primezone Mews.
The world is not finished with changing Haringey Park yet. The latest phase sees the redevelopment of the old town hall as a hotel and flats.
What a lot of change over 175 years.

Predicting Human Instability in Flood Flowsby S. R. Abt, Colorado State Univ, United States,
R. J. Wittler, Colorado State Univ, United States,
A. Taylor, Colorado State Univ, United States,
Abstract: The delineation of high flood hazard zones within a flood plain is usually independent of the parameters that constitute a life threatening situation. In order to define human instability in high flow hazard areas, a study was conducted to identify when an adult human could not stand or maneuver in a simulated flood flow. A series of human subjects (90-201 lbs) were placed in a recirculating flume and tested to determine the velocity and depth of flow which caused instability. A relationship was developed to estimate the product number at which a human subject becomes unstable as a function of the height and weight of the subject.

Where do donations go for ChildLivesMatter.org
Got some good questions from a woman the other day, so here are the answers.
Where does the donations go if given?
To DarkDox to produce films working with victims of underage sexual abuse to tell their stories uncensored as they want them to be told for direct download via DarkDox.com to be distributed worldwide. We also print DVDs, flyers, stickers, posters, and more for nationwide protests and marches that are starting this weekend. We want to be a resource of information, support, community, education, and awareness while the mainstream media, Hollywood, and government officials are complicit and banning, blocking, character assassinating, gangstalking, threatening, and murdering us.
How is the money used to help children directly?
More than half of DarkDox worldwide are SRA survivors who are now parents. We work with local, state, and federal agencies to arrest those trafficking in children, and child pornography while exposing the grooming going on that has infiltrated the LGBTQIAPPK movement, the mainstream media, Hollywood, and the U.S. Government.
How can we as parents become involved in this movement?
Wrote this today.
Are all crimes considered in this movement?
Our scope is going after those who solicit sex with minors, traffic in children and/or child pornography, and vilifying the norming of MAPs (Minor Attracted Persons), pedophiles, hebephiles, and all the new words they are planning on coming up with.

The use of tools and equipment is increasing in the agricultural sector of Nepal. According to the National Agricultural Census 2078, the number of farmers who use tractors for agricultural work is 40 per cent. During the agricultural census in 2068, it was found that only 22 per cent of the 845,000 farmer families used tractors for farming. According to the latest count, 1.63 million farmers use tractors.
The data shows that the number of tractors owned by farmers has also increased during this period. In the agricultural census of 2068, the farmer families had 37,000 tractors. In 2078, this number increased to 58,000. The use of power tillers/mini tillers is also increasing. In 2068, there were 76,000 farmers using power tillers/mini tillers across Nepal. Currently, the number of farmers using the machine has reached 471,000. The number of power tillers/mini tillers has also increased from 10,000 to 118,000 units.
According to Khojraj Katuwal, the outgoing president of the Nepal Agricultural Machinery Traders Association, when the government gives concessions on agricultural equipment, its use increases widely. The government has been giving subsidies to farmers to buy agricultural equipment for almost a decade. The number of farmer families using threshers and crop pruning tools has increased from 0.83 million in 2068 to 1.17 million in 2078. During this period, the number of threshers owned by farmer families increased from 52,000 to 1,15,000.
Likewise, the number of farmer families using pumping sets/motors has increased from 548,000 to 691,000. Meanwhile, the number of farmers using sprayers has also increased from 574,000 to 1.15 million. According to the Agricultural Census 2078, 30,000 farmer families in Nepal use milking machines. With the increase in the use of tractors, power tillers/mini tillers, it has been observed that the number of farmers using the ploughs has decreased.

In this study, we quantify the indirect or spillover effect of economic complexity on growth based on the following two facts: i) economic complexity is an important factor in explaining GDP growth rates, and ii) there is a clear regional pattern in the states' economic complexity, i.e., the economic complexity variable shows a positive spatial autocorrelation. Our results provide two insights: first, that the estimated positive spillover effect of complexity on growth is not negligible, particularly for states in the north of the country, whose own economic complexity is as important as that of their neighbors. In contrast, the spillover effect in southern states is negative. Being located next to states with low levels of economic complexity has a significant negative externality that almost overrides the positive effect of a state's own level of complexity. Our findings lead us to conclude that spillover effects may have played a more important role in explaining the diverse pattern of growth between northern and southern Mexico than previously thought. %U _URL_ %J Estudios de Economía %0 Journal Article %P 221-243%V 47 %N 2 %@ 0718-5286 %8 2020-10-21
