and shadow. The default value is /etc. Since it is not good practice to use the files in the master server's /etc directory as NIS input files, you should change this value.
 - PWDIR= The directory containing the passwd and shadow NIS input files. Since it is not good practice to use the files in the master server's /etc directory as NIS input files, you should change this value.
 - DOM= The NIS domain name. The default value of DOM is set using the domainname command. However, most NIS commands use the current machine's domain which is set in the machine's /etc/defaultdomain file.
Modifying Makefile Entries
The following procedure describes how to add and delete databases from the Makefile.
How to Modify the Makefile to Use Specific Databases
 1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
 Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Chapter 9, Using Role-Based Access Control (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
 2. Modify the line that starts with the word all by adding the name(s) of the database you want to add:
 all: passwd group hosts ethers networks rpc services protocols \
 netgroup bootparams aliases netid netmasks \
 audit_user auth_attr exec_attr prof_attr \
 auto_direct auto_home auto_direct.time auto_home.time
 The order of the entries is not relevant, but the blank space at the beginning of the continuation lines must be a Tab, not spaces.
 3. Add the following lines at the end of the Makefile:
 auto_direct: auto_direct.time
 auto_home: auto_home.time
 4. Add an entry for auto_direct.time in the middle of the file.
 auto_direct.time: $(DIR)/auto_direct
 @(while read L; do echo $$L; done < $(DIR)/auto_direct
 $(CHKPIPE)) | \ (sed -e "/^#/d" -e "s/#.*$$//" -e "/^ *$$/d"
 $(CHKPIPE)) | \ $(MAKEDBM) - $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/auto_direct;
 @touch auto_direct.time;
 @echo "updated auto_direct";
 @if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then $(YPPUSH) auto_direct; fi
 @if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then echo "pushed auto_direct"; fi
 where
 - CHKPIPE makes certain that the operations to the left of the pipe (|) are successfully completed before piping the results to next commands. If the operations to the left of the pipe do not successfully complete, the process is terminated with a NIS make terminated message.
 - NOPUSH prevents the makefile from calling yppush to transfer the new map to the slave servers. If NOPUSH is not set, the push is done automatically.
 The while loop at the beginning is designed to eliminate any backslash-extended lines in the input file. The sed script eliminates comment and empty lines.
 The same procedure should be followed for all other automounter maps, such as auto_home, or any other nondefault maps.
 5. Run make.
 # make mapname
 Where mapname is the name of the map you want to make.
How to Modify the Makefile to Delete Databases
If you do not want the Makefile to produce maps for a specific database, edit the Makefile as follows.
 1. Delete the name of the database from the all rule.
 2. Delete or comment out the database rule for the database you want to delete.
 For example, to delete the hosts database, the hosts.time entry should be removed.
 3. Remove the time rule.
 For example, to delete the hosts database, the hosts: hosts.time entry should be removed.
 4. Remove the map from the master and slave servers.

LeDroit Park's water doesn't come from McMillan
The McMillan Reservoir lies just north of LeDroit Park and just east of Howard University. Don't let this large and visible piece of water infrastructure fool you. The reservoir supplies water not to LeDroit Park, but to much of downtown, Capitol Hill, Southwest, the Navy Yard, and Historic Anacostia (see blue pipes below).
According to a 1985 DC water distribution map, LeDroit Park's water comes from a reservoir on Foxhall Road and a reservoir on the grounds of the Armed Forces Retirement Home (see the red pipe network). These reservoirs, like all other reservoirs in the city, receive their water from the Dalecarlia Reservoir, which is run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The USACE pipes water to Dalecarlia from intake points at Little Falls and Great Falls on the Potomac.
From Dalecarlia, water is piped to all of the secondary reservoirs, which typically sit atop highpoints in the city. (In a previous post we covered the century-old, straight-line tunnel that delivers water to McMillan.) Gravity pulls the water down from each reservoir to neighborhoods at lower elevations. Each neighborhood must be sufficiently lower than its supplying reservoir to receive enough water pressure at the faucet.
(I had difficulty finding these government maps, but found them at City Block.)

Cantheist icon and symbols
cantheism symbol logo glow relief
The graphic symbol for Cantheism / Cannatheism, seen on the left, is modeled after the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph for hemp rope and fiber skeins. Its shape was eventually transformed into the modern letter "h."
The emblem is designed to be discreet, simple and easily sketched by hand. The shape replicates that of a coiled skein of hemp fiber, seen on the right. It refers both to the ancient roots and the intertwined nature of human experience and the cannabis plant.
Symbolism and health safety
Egyptian hieroglyphic reference to cannabis hemp.
Illustration: Detail from an Egyptian stella (_PHONE_ BC), Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Firenze (Italy) Room III, case 14, Item 7611
A small skein of
hemp fiber, the model
for this hieroglyph.
The hand symbol for Cantheism is right hand cupped around the left, with two fingers extended in the inner hand, symbolizing the male and the female plants. The overall hand gesture signifying the female calyx which holds the trichome glands.
The Cantheist personal greeting is to hole the left hand over the heart with fingers spread and a small nod or bow of acknowledgement. This gesture, also used in the Cannamaste Circle, has been a safe and respectful acknowledgement of the other person that can be made at a distance to prevent passing germs.
Likewise, the sacramental spliff is smoked through a chillum style, cupped hand and sometimes a hemp smoking cloth, to prevent passing germs mouth to mouth.
Astronomy: The three stars of Orion's belt represent the three aspects of cannabis: Commerce, medicine, and spirit. Sirius, the brightest star in the nearby constellation Canis Major (Big Dog), visible in the Northern sky during winter, is identified with cannabis.
Alchemistry: Cannabis pulp and fiber can be fabricated and transformed into almost anything, including every product made from fossil fuels, timber and cotton. The story of Rumplestiltskin relates to a person who could spin gold from straw. Likewise, great wealth can be derived from the cannabis plant but without magic, simply using the plant in commerce. Use of hemp instead of harmful petrochemical products is essential for the restoration of natural balance to the planet.
The active flowers and leaves can be converted into a wide assortment of inhalables and comestibles, ranging from flowers to hash resin to honey oil to water hash to kief to food items to beverages to tinctures to salves to liniments, etc., etc.
Sharing and passing the breath of life
ancient Egypt pharaoh Ptah dynasty
The immortal Ptah breathes power and strength into a 12th Dynasty pharaoh while standing beneath the Cantheist logo.
During ceremonial smoking circles, each person in the group must say Cannamaste to the people next to them, take and hold the burning spliff, inhale a deep breath and pass it on to continue the circle.
Given that some people prefer to ingest their sacrament as vaporized herb or oils, edibles or tinctures, inhaling the smoke is encouraged but not required. People in the circle should each receive the spliff with the Cannamaste salute, hold (possess) the spliff while inhaling and exhaling, then pass it along to the next congregant in the circle.
The Cantheist Symbol can be seen
in numerous real and imitation
heiroglyphics, like this image
from a Las Vegas casino.
During a Cantheist wedding, it is common for the couple to share the "breath of smoke" during the ceremony.
An ancient allusion to this practice is seen in the detail above, taken from a relief on the Pillar of Sesotris I, 12th Dynasty (c. 1971-28 BC).
The immortal Ptah breathes on the Egyptian pharaoh, investing him with renewed power and strength. Note the Cantheist icon situated above the Ankh in the upper left corner.
A modern depiction is seen in this decoration, left, from a relief in a Las Vegas casino.
Glyph transformed by language, cultures
Below is a representation showing how the Egyptian symbol for hemp became a more angular shape in the Semitic alphabet as a cipher for tent wall, or canvas. Meanwhile, the Semitic word for hemp, kaneh bosm, became the Greek word kannabis and was adapted into Latin as cannabis, from which derives the english word canvas.

Scientists find 'no fingerprint' gene mutation - 08-06-2011, 04:41 AM
Scientists find 'no fingerprint' gene mutation
Some people are born without fingerprints
Continue reading the main story Related Stories
Scientists believe they have identified the genetic flaw behind an incredibly rare condition in which people having no fingerprints.
A study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics looked at one Swiss family, many of whom have no fingerprints.
By analysing their DNA, researchers identified the SMARCAD1 gene.
Researchers said "virtually nothing" was known about how the gene functioned in the skin.
Normally fingers are covered with ridges called dermatoglyphs which are fully formed before birth.
Passport problems Only four families have been diagnosed with the fingerprint-less condition known as adermatoglyphia.
It is more popularly referred to as "immigration delay disease" due to problems patient say they have getting through airports.
In this study, researchers from the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Israel looked at the genetic code of 16 members of a family. Seven had fingerprints, nine were born without.
They found that a shorter version of the SMARCAD1 gene was expressed in the skin and that patients who did not have fingerprints had mutations in the gene.
The lead researcher Professor Eli Sprecher said: "Our findings implicate a skin-specific version of SMARCAD1 in the regulation of fingerprint development.
"Little is known about the function of full-length SMARCAD1 and virtually nothing regarding the physiological role of the skin-specific version of the gene".
Full length SMARCAD1 is thought to control the activity of other genes.
He added: "As abnormal fingerprints are known to sometimes herald severe disorders, our finding may also impact the understanding of additional diseases affecting not only the skin."

The second series is to follow the events of the second video game, focusing on the lost continent of Mu. The ancient civilization vanished ages ago, and a few of its remnants still exist as myths and legends called UMAs (unidentified lifeforms). The UMAs begin merging with humans in order to search for the treasures of Mu, the powerful ooparts, which will give them the power to revive Mu. After Subaru and War-Rock encounter several unusual enemies, they meet a professor named Doctor Orihime who sends them on a quest to find the ooparts and stop the UMAs. Using the ooparts, Rockman is able to take new forms, including Thunder Berserk, Fire Dinosaur, and Green Shinobi.

[0 1 0]
 'blue', [0 0 1]
 ii = find(strcmp(color_table(:,1), name ));
 clr_mat(c,:) = color_table{ii,2};
 The problem with containers.Map, in my opinion, is that the key and the value are physically separated. If you want to add one value to the table, you need to edit your function in two places.
 The switch statement really shines when you need to execute different bits of code based on an input, it's not so useful for a simple table lookup.
 I like your method for some applications.
 In the particular case I showed however, I am doing more than a simple table lookup. Instead, I am trying to take an input string of color characters and build an Mx3 matrix of RGB triplets.
 For example, if someone provides the input 'rygb', I want to build the matrix [1 0 0; 1 1 0; 0 1 0; 0 0 1].
 The colors need to be in the correct order, and if someone provides an invalid color character, I want to ignore it.
 To achieve this with your method, I need to do the following:
 color_table = {
 'r', [1 0 0] % red
 'g', [0 1 0] % green
 'b', [0 0 1] % blue
 'y', [1 1 0] % yellow
 'c', [0 1 1] % cyan
 'm', [1 0 1] % magenta
 'p', [1 0.5] % pink
 'o', [1.5 0] % orange
 'l', [.5 1 0] % lime green
 'a', [0 1.5] % aquamarine
 's', [0.5 1] % sky blue
 'v', [.5 0 1] % violet
 'k', [.5.5.5] % grayscale
 'w', [.5.5.5] % grayscale
 num_clrs = length(input(:));
 clr_mat = zeros(num_clrs,3);
 c = 0;
 for k = 1:num_clrs
 c = c + 1;
 ii = find(strcmp(color_table(:,1),lower(input(k))));
 if ~isempty(ii)
 c = c - 1;
 clr_mat = clr_mat(1:c,:);
 if ~isempty(clr_mat)
 clrs = clr_mat
 In my opinion, my SWITCH statement is more compact and readable. I may use your method for other things though… :o)
 A not very clearly documented feature of the switch/case construct that I've found useful is that it's much more general than the examples might lead you to believe. All the examples I've seen have been of the form:
 switch x
 case v1
 case v2
 where x is a variable or expression, and each of the vi are numeric or string constants or cells arrays comprised thereof.
 But this also works:
 switch true
 case exp1
 case exp2
 where each of the expi are logical expressions. The first that evaluates as true has its branch executed.
 Can you use conditional statments in a switch statment for example:
 switch num
 case num<-2
 disp('Num less than -2′)
 I like the switch syntax since the code is so easy for most people to read.
 However, I don't like how it "artificially" drives the McCabe Clclomatic complexity index high. Thus, when I document a function that I've written, & include the output from Code Metrics, I have to write some text to discuss why, for example, the complexity index is 14 rather than my target of less than 10.
 In many cases, my co-workers & I look at the function in detail & decide that it is clearer to use the switch-case syntax & accept the higher index rather than dividing the function into sub-functions just to get the index below 10.
 I'm under the impression that using if-ifelse syntax will result in the same complexity index as the switch-case syntax. Yet, the switch-case syntax is usually clear.
 Maybe I need to invent an Oyster Complexity Index that excludes the effect of the switch-case syntax.
 I appreciate Iain's discussion of decision tables from Code Complete. I browsed thru our copy & see how to implement such a thing in readable code.
 if-else will result in the same complexity as switch. We often make the same trade-off you do, to keep a switch statement instead of having some very small subfunctions. There is a reason switch drives up the complexity though. The number of possible paths through the code does indeed go up, just as in an if-else situation.

Dragon Saga Movement Speed Calculations
Dragon Saga Movement Speed Calculations by SharpEye
Disclosure: If you have a high school education, you should be able to understand the simple math involved in this.
The Method
From the simple equation V = dP/dt, we can derive Vt = (P1? P0) assuming V is constant.
This leads to V = D/t, D being the displacement from Position 0 to Position 1. Since we?re going to be traveling in a straight line in ONE direction, D is also distance.
Now this equation isn?t that useful, so we?ll put it in a ratio: V2/V1 = t1/t2. (The distances cancel out)
This is equivalent to two objects traveling across the same distance D with object 1 moving at velocity V1 and taking time t1 to get across the distance and object 2 moving at velocity V2 and taking time t2 to get across the distance. This simple ratio is what we?ll be using to empirically determine BASE movement speed.
I?ll be using a grenadier with +50 mspeed (and none from equipment/cash bonuses) and a harlequin (haha rogue, no) with +0 mspeed (same deal-o). I?ll explain my character choice in a bit.
Assuming x is base movement speed:
The grenadier?s mspeed will be (x + 50)
and the harlequin?s will be x
So (x+50)/x = t2/t1
Using frames as a measure of time, we can almost precisely determine the ratio of velocities; the only possible errors in calcuation is the estimation of when a character?s movement actually begins and when it has stopped. I will explain how I minimized these later on.
The Data
Here are two videos (I encourage you non-believers to download each one and analyze the frames yourself if you don?t trust my calculations).
The harlequin starts running between frames 776 and 777
The harlequin stops running between frames 1314 and 1315
The grenadier starts running between frames 601 and 602
The grenadier stops running between frames 1005 and 1006
The calculations
The harlequin takes t2 = 538 frames to go distance D
The grenadier takes t1 = 404 frames to go distance D
This arrives at the equation of one variable: (x+50)/x = 538/404
Now we?ll look at the fraction 538/404. If you divide it out, the value turns out to be 1.33168??. We?ll approximate this with 4/3. This approximation could be risky in that the ratio isn?t that solid, however I want it to be. By simple math we know 4/3 = 200/150. Given that (x+50)/x = 200/150, we quickly
determine x to be 150 movement speed.
The conclusion
The conclusion here is surprisingly that there is no conclusion yet. (WHAT A TWIST? M. NIGHT SHAMAMALSYALYN)
We have to determine if different classes have different base movement speeds.
The data, part 2
We?ll be using two different archers this time.
Archer 1 has mspeed x + 20
Archer 2 has mspeed x
If the calculated movespeed from this is the same as that of the first part, we have evidence that the base movement speed is the same across all classes. If not, f me in the butt.
Archer 1:
Archer 2:
Archer 1 begins moving at frame 808 and ends at 1079
Archer 2 begins moving at frame 569 and ends at 876
The calculations, part 2
(x+20)/x = 307/271
If we?re right about a mspeed of 150, x+20 = (307/271) * x. We plug in x = 150 and we have?.
170 = 169.92619926199261992619926199262.
Now i?ll be darned. I don?t get a buttf-ing tonight 😀
Minimization of error
The first possible source of error is the starting position. This is simple to minimize.
I use moonwalk/backdash with HQ/Archer respectively to go as close to the edge as possible. (I don?t want to factor in turning time if there is any)
The second possible source of error is the ending position. This is hard to minimize.
The first thing I did to minimize this is using frames. A large amount of frames will make the error (in frames) almost insignificant.
The second thing I did was use the little circle thing?s position relative to the wall. If two frames have the same circle position, I recorded the first frame as the ending frame.

Effect of +% mspeed on movement speed
We?re going to assume a character moving with 0 bonus mspeed and 0% bonus mspeed moves with 150 movement speed. The previous calculations have assumed bonus mspeed is additive to movement speed. That is, given X bonus mspeed and 0% bonus mspeed, a character moves with 150 + x mspeed. We?ll assume this is correct for the next part, the effect of +% mspeed on movement speed.
Now I can see two ways this will work. Assuming X bonus mspeed and Y% bonus mspeed:
movement1 = 150*(1 + Y/100) + X
movement2 = (150 + X)*(1+Y/100)
= 150*(1 + Y/100) + X + XY/100
We can see by substitution that:
movement2 = movement1 + XY/100
These three equations will be used later on in the calculations.
We will also use the ratio from the previous run: V2/V1 = t1/t2
V1 will be the velocity of the character WITHOUT any bonus mspeed
V2 will be calculated from V1*t1/t2, and compared to theoretical values calculated from movement1 and movement2
The Data
We?ll be using:
HQ with 10% mspeed vagabond boots (and no other equips)
Gren with 10% mspeed vagabond boots and +50 mspeed (from skill tree)
Gren with 10% mspeed Vagabond boots, +50 mspeed (from skill tree), and +24 mspeed from set
The third scenario is just to determine if bonus mspeed from skill tree differs from mspeed from set
Gren #1:
Gren #2:
The Calculations
HQ starts at frame 851 and ends at frame 1341
Gren #1 starts at frame 773 and ends at frame 1149
Gren #2 starts at frame 1006 and ends at frame 1344
From the previous run, the HQ took 538 frames to travel distance D.
In this run, the HQ took 490 frames to travel distance D.
V2 = V1*t1/t2 = 150*538/490 ~= 165
movement1 = 150*(1 + 0.1) + 0 = 165
movement2 = 165 + 0*10/100 = 165
This runthrough was just a sanity test 🙂
From the previous run, the Gren took 404 frames to travel distance D.
In this run the Gren #1 took 376 frames to travel distance D.
V2 = v1*t1/t2 = 200*404/376 ~= 215
movement1 = 150*(1 + 0.1) + 50 = 165 + 50 = 215
movement2 = movement1 + 50*10/100 = 220
This runthrough gave more evidence to movement1 (that % bonus mspeed is only applied to base mspeed)
and then?
Gren #1 took 376 frames to travel distance D
Gren #2 took 338 frames to travel distance D
If we?re correct about the assumption that both mspeed from skill tree and mspeed from equipments are treated equally, then
(1.1*150+74)/(1.1*150+50) = t1/t2
239/215 = t1/t2
(1.1*150+74+7.4)/(1.1*150+50+5) = t1/t2
246.4/220 = t1/t2
t1/t2 = 376/338 = 1.1124260355029585798816568047337
239/215 = 1.111627906976744186046511627907
246.4/220 = 1.12
The Conclusions
It still may be too early to conclude which equation describes movement MORE correctly, however I would put my money on movement1.
The complete movement equation would then be:
Variable X? Bonus + movement speed
Variable Y? Bonus % movement speed
Movement Speed = 150*(1+Y/100) + X

In semiconductor and LCD manufacturing processes, film thickness and surface profiles of film-covered objects need to be measured simultaneously. We extend phase-shifting interferometry and propose an algorithm named the SOR (Separation of Object and Reference beams) method that enables such simultaneous measurement. The SOR method can be applied not only to thick films but also to thin films, which is an advantage over existing methods. We apply the SOR method to silicon substrates covered with SiO2 films and demonstrate its usefulness.


text: A team of engineers from Australia's Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University found a way to replace 100% of the conventional aggregates in concrete, such as gravel and crushed rock, with rubber from discarded tires that meets building codes. The team says the greener and lighter concrete promises to reduce manufacturing and transportation costs significantly. Small amounts of rubber particles from tires are already used to replace concrete aggregates, but efforts to replace the composition entirely with rubber produced weak concretes that have failed to meet required standards—until now. "We have demonstrated with our precise casting method that this decades-old perceived limitation on using large amounts of coarse rubber particles in concrete can now be overcome," said Mohammad Momeen Ul Islam of RMIT University's School of Engineering. "The technique involves using newly designed casting molds to compress the coarse rubber aggregate in fresh concrete that enhances the building material's performance."

Circular motion
 1. Jun 8, 2005 #1
 I have recently completed my mid-year chemistry exam and came accross a question that i cannot find an answer to. Me and my friends completely disagree and i was wondering if anyone could help me?
 -The question showed a simplified diagram of a train around a circular section of a track, and the question asked-"draw an arrow representing the force exerted on the wheels of the train by the track while the train is decelerating".
 Does the braking of the train have any effect on the forces present between the track and the train?
 Thanx guys...

 So you can't actually help me, i just thought that i may have posted in the wrong section!
 5. Jun 8, 2005 #4
 wouldnt the braking create a greater magnitude of friction or create friction if there wasnt any initially present?
 6. Jun 8, 2005 #5
 See thats my main problem. Does the braking affect the interection between the track and the wheels, the question seemed to be quite specific. Is the brake force applied to the wheels or the track?
 7. Jun 8, 2005 #6
 There are actually two forces: the normal component F_cent of the reaction force of the track (providing the centripetal acceleration), and the backward pointing frictional force f_k that arises during braking. So the resultant force that the track applies on the wheel points somewhere between the center of the circular track and the backward direction.

 Wow this forum is great, thanx for the speedy replies.
 See thats the answer i would give if asked for the net force on the system, however if it singled out the force ON THE WHEELS EXERTED BY THE TRACKS, is the answer still the same?
 9. Jun 8, 2005 #8
 It's the same thing. The weels have the same acceleration as the whole system. The difference is that the acceleration is multiplied with the mass of a single wheel, rather than the mass of all the train system.

Irish Water is planning to invest almost €1.8 billion in water and waste treatment improvements over the next three years.
The investment will deliver much-needed improvements in drinking water quality, leakage, water availability, and waste water compliance.
Five months after being set up by the Government, Irish Water is now taking control and increasing the water infrastructure programmes of Ireland's 34 local authorities.
The programme is going to cost €1.77 billion in the first three years, but there will be billions more spent over the following five or six years.
That represents a boost in investment for the economy with more than 380 separate projects listed.
The priorities include eliminating boil water notices in Roscommon, providing more water, and reducing disruptions to water supply in the Dublin area.
Improving water quality, increasing waste water treatment capacity, and improving environmental compliance are also priorities.
A programme to tackle leakages is included with more than 700 million litres of water per day being lost through leaking water pipes.
Irish Water said the leakage programme, combined with the completion of existing works at Ballymore Eustace and Leixlip, will solve Dublin's water issue in the short-term.
However, it said that the project to divert water from the River Shannon to the Greater Dublin Area will still be required in the medium-term.

A non-contact and simple interferometric technique has been used to measure the refractive index variation of gamma irradiated CR-39 polymer samples. Six samples of thickness (750 μm) and dimensions of 1.5 × 3 cm2, have been irradiated with gamma radiation doses in the range from zero to 600 kGy. It is observed that the refractive index increases by increasing the dose and reaches its maximum value at 40 kGy dose, and then starts to decrease again. This means that the gamma radiation deformation in the CR-39 polymer is a chain scission effect. This interferometric technique could make a contribution to recombination and degradation mechanisms on CR-39 polymer. Copyright © 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Interest Parity Conditions as Indicators of Financial Integration in East Asia
Market participants and policymakers have a growing interest in the development of East Asian financial markets, and to the extent to which these markets are open and influenced by world markets. This paper examines the information contained in interest parity conditions about the international integration of a wide range of economies in East Asia. Legal restrictions on the capital account and tests of covered, uncovered and real interest parity are presented in some detail. Using standard regressions, cointegration analysis and error decompositions, it is argued that uncovered interest parity tests reveal a surprisingly large amount of information about financial openness. For example, McCallum's (1994) model of the interaction of uncovered interest parity and a monetary policy reaction function can be used to explain striking anomalies that arise between countries. Openness and the importance of foreign interest rate shocks appear to have increased in most countries, although Korea remains an important exception. Four policy implications are discussed in the conclusion.

A Multi-Bandgap Periodic Structure Device Acting as Multiplexer or Demultiplexer of Electromagnetic Signals
Keywords:FDTD, PBG, MUX, DEMUX, Periodic Structures, Photonic Crystals
In this work, a device capable of acting as a multiplexer (MUX) and demultiplexer (DEMUX) for electromagnetic waves in gigahertz range is designed and modeled numerically. The device is based on optimized dielectric periodic structures. It can combine signals of different central frequencies injected at its input ports to a single output port, thus acting as a MUX. Reciprocally, the device can separate mixed signals of different frequencies to specific output ports, acting as a DEMUX. To this aim, specific imperfections are introduced into the periodic structure. The design and analysis of the device are performed using the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). Transfer functions between pairs of input and output ports are calculated and used to define the design metrics.

Every browser has its own active memory limit. This can differ across devices but the general understanding is there's an active memory limit of 2GB per browser tab.
As Figma serves both the web app and the desktop app via a browser, these limitations apply when using the Figma desktop app also.
If you're working with large files or libraries in Figma you may run into these limits. To continue to use affected files, you must reduce your memory usage.
In this article, we'll outline some of the ways you can adapt your files so they work within these limitations. Jump to memory reduction tips ↓
Memory usage alerts
Note: You may not see all these alerts in order. If memory usage increases in a short space of time, you may not receive an alert at all.
Figma measures your memory usage as a percentage, which means you may see different values across platforms or devices.
To keep you informed of your memory usage, and any potential issues that may arise, Figma displays banners and alerts at certain thresholds:
When you reach
60%of the browser's memory limit Figma will show a yellow warning banner. You cannot dismiss this banner.
This file is almost out of browser memory. Remove content to lower memory use to 50% or less. This will ensure you can continue to work in this file safely.
Figma will offer you suggestions for reducing your memory usage. Click Show memory-reduction tips to view suggestions for reducing memory.
At this point, you may experience performance issues—like lagging in multiplayer—when interacting with the file.
When you reach
75%of your memory limit, Figma will show a red alert banner. You cannot dismiss this banner.
Adding content is no longer safe as data may be lost. Remove content to reduce this file's memory use or restore a previous version.
You can still make changes to the file, but we recommend taking immediate action to protect your work. Failure to reduce memory usage now will increase the possibility of data loss.
Follow the tips we've outlined below ↓ to reduce your memory usage.
If your file reaches
100%of your memory limit, Figma will lock the file and inform you that there's no available memory.
This file has run out of browser memory.
At this point, you must restore a previous version of the file that used less memory:
- Open the project where the file is located.
- Hold down the modifier keys and click on the file in the file browser
- Mac: ⇧ Shift ⌃ Control ⌥ Option
- Windows: Alt Shift
- Select Restore from version.
- Click Restore next to the appropriate version
If you receive a memory usage alert during scheduled maintenance, Figma displays two banners at the top of the screen. We recommend leaving the file open and trying again once maintenance is complete.
Figma is undergoing scheduled maintenance for the next 30 minutes. Keep this tab open to ensure your changes are synced once maintenance is over. Learn more.
Once your memory usage drops below 50%, you'll see a success message in the banner. You can now dismiss the banner.
You successfully reduced memory and this file is now safe to use. You can close this banner.
Reduce memory usage
There are a number of factors that contribute to memory usage. It's not as straightforward as a specific number of layers, data, or resources in the file.
Note: We're using the term memory very generally here, but the memory usage banners are only triggered by WASM memory (WebAssembly.Memory) usage. Figma uses this memory to render layers and objects on the canvas, as well as deliver the collaborative multiplayer experience.
Hidden layers are a big contributor to memory usage. This is because Figma needs to store and render information about those layers even when they're not visible.
If you're using hidden layers to switch between different variations of a component, we recommend creating boolean properties instead. Boolean properties are a type of component property that allows you to toggle a property, such as layer visibility, on and off.
Even though this method uses hidden layers, it reduces the number of variants and layers needed in a design system, thus improving the file's memory usage.
This also improves memory usage in files with instances of these variants, because Figma loads the entire component set to enable switching between variants.
In the example below, we created a button component set without using boolean properties. It includes two variants to represent the button's two states: with icon and no icon. This design system has a total of seven layers (one component set layer, two variant layers, and four nested layers).
If we use boolean properties instead, we need only one component and a boolean property applied to the icon to toggle its visibility. This version has a total of three layers (one component layer and two nested layers).
By reducing the number of layers by more than half, we've improved memory usage in this file and in files using instances from this component set.
Tip! To delete a layer, select it in the canvas or Layers panel in the left sidebar. Then press the delete or backspace key to remove it.
Large component or variant libraries
The number of components and variants can contribute to memory usage. You may still run into memory limits if you have only a few component sets, but they have thousands of variants.
If a library has a large number of variants or a file is near the memory limit, consider using component properties → to reduce the number of components and variants needed.
This will improve memory usage of the library file, and in files using instances of these variants because Figma loads the entire component set to enable switching between variants.
If your library file is still near the memory limit after making these adjustments, you may need to divide it into smaller libraries.
Move published components and component sets between files, without breaking links to instances This is a two-part process: cut and paste the components, then publish the changes. Move published components between files →
Tip! There are lots of different ways you could divide up your library, the best approach is the one that meets the needs of your library's users.
Learn more about creating and organizing libraries: Best practices: components, styles, and shared libraries →
Large files with multiple images and pages
If you have a large file with a significant number of pages, or lots of high resolution images, you may experience performance or memory issues.
If this causes browser-level crashes, Figma won't display the memory usage banners. This is something to think about when working in files with a large number of high-resolution images.
We recommend splitting up large files into smaller files by copying the contents of each page, and pasting it into a new file.
Tip! The Downsize plugin allows you to compress large images on the canvas.
- Create a new file in your Figma account.
- In a separate tab, open the original file and view the page you want to move.
- Use the Select all shortcut to select everything on the page.
- Mac: ⌘ Command A
- Windows: Ctrl + A
- Use the Copy shortcut to copy the page's contents to your clipboard.
- Mac: ⌘ Command C
- Windows: Ctrl + C
- Return to the new file in a separate tab. Use the Paste shortcut to paste the contents of your clipboard:
- Mac: ⌘ Command P
- Windows: Ctrl + P
Importing large amounts of text, images, or complex vectors with many points can also impact your memory usage. You may need to reduce the number or quality of assets you import, or reduce the size of the files you're importing:
- Break large files into smaller files.
- Compress high resolution images.
- Import complex SVGs in smaller parts.
Note: Image decoding uses JS memory, which isn't included in the memory percentage or banner alerts. Images can still contribute to WASM memory as they are rendered on the canvas.

This article reviews the potential of Niklas Luhmann's autopoiesis as a contribution to organization theory. We consider organization theory to consist of three epistemological foundations, which we label equilibrium-based theory, process-based theory and recursivity-based theory. We review critically Luhmann's autopoietic theory in relation to each of these three foundations. We suggest that whereas it deviates radically from equilibrium-based theory and deviates significantly from process-based theory, it holds potential in its complementarity with Giddens's structuration theory in providing a promising basis for recursivity-based organization theory.

Turnaround of Food and Civil Supplies Department in Telangana Government Change Management Analysis & Solution
HBR Change Management Solutions
Organizational Development Case Study | S. Ramnarayan, Sunita Mehta
Case Study Description
CV Anand, a senior officer of the Indian Police Service (IPS) was assigned to lead the Food and Civil Supplies Department in the state of Telangana, India by the Chief Minister - the top political executive of the state. Since the role involved policy making and implementation relating to procurement and processing of grains, transportation and distribution to the poorer sections of the society, this was a highly unusual role assignment for an IPS officer. The organization had the responsibility of procuring food grains from farmers at minimum support price, and then after rice milling, arranging distribution to lower income population needing rice at subsidized rates. Anand observed a culture of ritualistic decision making, political power plays, and shortage of talent leading to the neglect of key aspects. The funds crisis had arisen due to non-receipt of dues and there were mounting interest charges. Certain parties were exploiting the system and getting away with it. There were archaic procedures, and corruption at different levels. Anand initiated multiple initiatives in the areas of: organizational aspects, technology and systems. He made conscious efforts to mobilize support. With passion, persistence and hard work, different stakeholders were influenced. Time, energy and commitment were allocated to high leverage activities. Within a year of assuming leadership, the result of turnaround was evident - the funds crisis had eased, bulk of leakages had been plugged and the system had become responsive to the needs of its key stakeholders - the farmers and the needy beneficiaries. Anand knew that he was on a short-term deputation and that he would be transferred to another assignment in the following six to eight months. He was concerned about what he should do in the remaining months to ensure that the changes stick and are not leader-dependent for their continuation.

What is Change Management Definition & Process? Why transformation efforts fail? What are the Change Management Issues in Turnaround of Food and Civil Supplies Department in Telangana Government case study?
According to John P. Kotter – Change Management efforts are the major initiatives an organization undertakes to either boost productivity, increase product quality, improve the organizational culture, or reverse the present downward spiral that the company is going through.
Sooner or later every organization requires change management efforts because without reinventing itself organization tends to lose out in the competitive market environment. The competitors catch up with it in products and service delivery, disruptors take away the lucrative and niche market positioning, or management ends up sitting on its own laurels thus missing out on the new trends, opportunities and developments in the industry.
What are the John P. Kotter - 8 Steps of Change Management?
Eight Steps of Kotter's Change Management Execution are -
- 1. Establish a Sense of Urgency
- 2. Form a Powerful Guiding Coalition
- 3. Create a Vision
- 4. Communicate the Vision
- 5. Empower Others to Act on the Vision
- 6. Plan for and Create Short Term Wins
- 7. Consolidate Improvements and Produce More Change
- 8. Institutionalize New Approaches
Are Change Management efforts easy to implement? What are the challenges in implementing change management processes?
According to authorlist Change management efforts are absolutely essential for the surviving and thriving of the organization but they are also extremely difficult to implement. Some of the biggest obstacles in implementing change efforts are –
- Change efforts create an environment of uncertainty in the organization that impacts not only the productivity in the organization but also the level of trust in the organization.
- Change efforts are often targeted at making fundamental aspects in the business – operations and culture. Change management disrupts are status quo thus face opposition from both within and outside the organization.
- Change efforts are often made by new leaders because they are chosen by board to do so. These leaders often have less trust among the workforce compare to the people with whom they were already working with over the years.
- Change management efforts are made when the organization is in dire need and have fewer resources. This creates silos protection mentality within the organization.
- Change management is often a lengthy, time consuming, and resource consuming process. Managements try to avoid them because they reflect negatively on the short term financial balance sheet of the organization.
How you can apply Change Management Principles to Turnaround of Food and Civil Supplies Department in Telangana Government case study?
Leaders can implement Change Management efforts in the organization by following the "Eight Steps Method of Change Management" by John P. Kotter.
Step 1 - Establish a sense of urgency
What are areas that require urgent change management efforts in the " Turnaround of Food and Civil Supplies Department in Telangana Government " case study. Some of the areas that require urgent changes are – organizing sales force to meet competitive realities, building new organizational structure to enter new markets or explore new opportunities. The leader needs to convince the managers that the status quo is far more dangerous than the change efforts.
Step 2 - Form a powerful guiding coalition
As mentioned earlier in the paper, most change efforts are undertaken by new management which has far less trust in the bank compare to the people with whom the organization staff has worked for long period of time. New leaders need to tap in the talent of the existing managers and integrate them in the change management efforts. This will for a powerful guiding coalition that not only understands the urgency of the situation but also has the trust of the employees in the organization. If the team able to explain at the grass roots level what went wrong, why organization need change, and what will be the outcomes of the change efforts then there will be a far more positive sentiment about change efforts among the rank and file.
Step 3 - Create a vision
The most critical role of the leader who is leading the change efforts is – creating and communicating a vision that can have a broader buy-in among employees throughout the organization. The vision should not only talk about broader objectives but also about how every little change can add up to the improvement in the overall organization.
Step 4 - Communicating the vision
Leaders need to use every vehicle to communicate the desired outcomes of the change efforts and how each employee impacted by it can contribute to achieve the desired change. Secondly the communication efforts need to answer a simple question for employees – "What it is in for the them". If the vision doesn't provide answer to this question then the change efforts are bound to fail because it won't have buy-in from the required stakeholders of the organization.
Step 5 -Empower other to act on the vision
Once the vision is set and communicated, change management leadership should empower people at every level to take decisions regarding the change efforts. The empowerment should follow two key principles – it shouldn't be too structured that it takes away improvisation capabilities of the managers who are working on the fronts. Secondly it shouldn't be too loosely defined that people at the execution level can take it away from the desired vision and objectives.
Step 6 - Plan for and create short term wins
Initially the change efforts will bring more disruption then positive change because it is transforming the status quo. For example new training to increase productivity initially will lead to decrease in level of current productivity because workers are learning new skills and way of doing things. It can demotivate the employees regarding change efforts. To overcome such scenarios the change management leadership should focus on short term wins within the long term transformation. They should carefully craft short term goals, reward employees for achieving short term wins, and provide a comprehensive understanding of how these short term wins fit into the overall vision and objectives of the change management efforts.
Step 7 - Consolidate improvements and produce more change
Short term wins lead to renewed enthusiasm among the employees to implement change efforts. Management should go ahead to put a framework where the improvements made so far are consolidated and more change efforts can be built on the top of the present change efforts.
Step 8 - Institutionalize new approaches
Once the improvements are consolidated, leadership needs to take steps to institutionalize the processes and changes that are made. It needs to stress how the change efforts have delivered success in the desired manner. It should highlight the connection between corporate success and new behaviour. Finally organization management needs to create organizational structure, leadership, and performance plans consistent with the new approach.
Is change management a process or event?
What many leaders and managers at the Anand Telangana fails to recognize is that – Change Management is a deliberate and detail oriented process rather than an event where the management declares that the changes it needs to make in the organization to thrive. Change management not only impact the operational processes of the organization but also the cultural and integral values of the organization.

mean daily minimum can be as low as 42% during the dry months and
reaches as high as 70% during the wet months. The mean daily
maximum, however, does not vary much from place to place and is at
no place falls below 94%. It may reach as high as nearly 100%.
Again, the northwest states of Kedah and Perlis have the largest
diurnal variation of relative humidity.
Sunshine and Solar Radiation
Being a maritime country close to the equator, Malaysia naturally
has abundant sunshine and thus solar radiation. However, it is
extremely rare to have a full day with completely clear sky even in
periods of severe drought. The cloud cover cuts off a substantial
amount of sunshine and thus solar radiation. On the average,
Malaysia receives about 6 hours of sunshine per day. There are,
however, seasonal and spatial variations in the amount of sunshine
received. Alor Setar and Kota Bharu receive about 7 hours per day of
sunshine while Kuching receives only 5 hours on the average. On the
extreme, Kuching receives only an average of 3.7 hours per day in
the month of January. On the other end of the scale, Alor Setar
receives a maximum of 8.7 hours per day on the average in the same
Solar radiation is closely related to the sunshine duration. Its
seasonal and spatial variations are thus very much the same as in
the case of sunshine.

Borneol is terpene derivative that is identified as a bicyclic organic compound. The hydroxyl group in this compound is placed in an endo position. There are two different enantiomers of borneol. Both d-(+)-borneol and l-(–)-borneol are found in nature but commercially l-borneol seems to be more readily available. Borneol is a unique terpene due to the fact that it is not an oil like most terpenes that people are familiar with. Instead, borneol is a white crystalline solid when isolated but it will remain in a liquid solution when extracted with other terpenes from cannabis/hemp. It can form large crystals at high purity levels. Borneol is similar to camphor in a lot...

SHRM Assurance of Learning
Assurance of Learning Assessment for Graduating HR Students:
The Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) Assurance of Learning Assessment for graduating HR students is the new universal benchmark for students who are completing an HR degree and who have little to no work experience in HR. It benefits students by showing employers the student has acquired the minimum knowledge required to be a successful HR professional, and it gives recent graduates an important advantage over other entry-level candidates by showing the student has achieved the Certificate of Learning upon passing an exit exam. The assessment helps universities meet their accrediting body's assurance of learning requirements because it helps show the HR degree program teaches what it states it will teach. And, it helps employers know that the student has taken an additional step to ensure their degree, complemented by the Certificate of Learning achievement, adequately prepares them for their career in HR. As part of SHRM's broader academic initiative, the Assessment represents an important step along an HR professional's career development path. It complements both formal classroom knowledge acquired through a degree program and experiential learning gained through internships.

Neel-Schaffer helps facilitate smoother boat launches at the 'Rez'
Neel-Schaffer provided design and bidding services for the procurement and installation of a floating breakwater system to protect the Madison Landing Boat Launch facility from wave action that often makes launching recreational water craft difficult and hazardous.
Madison Landing is a recreational boat launch on the Ross Barnett Reservoir in Madison County, MS, that is operated by the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District. The $395,000 construction project, completed in Summer of 2018, provides two segments of floating concrete breakwater systems, totaling 263 feet in length, to protect the boat launch from wind-generated waves. The breakwater system is comprised of several sections of floating concrete sections connected together to form the longer segment. The sections are constructed of reinforced concrete surrounding a core made of expanded polystyrene floatation material.
The system is anchored by 12-inch steel piles driven into the soils of the lake bed. Navigation lights will help boaters locate the openings in the breakwater and avoid running into the floating units.
The project was made challenging by the fact that the boat launch and associated parking area needed to remain open to the public throughout construction. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fisheries grant that provided the funds for construction required short deadlines for completion. Specialized coastal engineering expertise was required to analyze the wave/wind conditions that occur at the site. This project is the first of its kind on the Ross Barnett Reservoir.


MATLAB Programming/Differences between Octave and MATLAB
< MATLAB Programming
Octave has been mainly built with MATLAB compatibility in mind. It has a lot of features in common with MATLAB:
 1. Matrices as fundamental data type.
 2. Built-in support for complex numbers.
 3. Powerful built-in math functions and extensive function libraries.
 4. Extensibility in the form of user-defined functions.
Some of the differences that do exist between Octave and MATLAB can be worked around using "user preference variables."
GNU Octave is mostly compatible with MATLAB. However, Octave's parser allows some (often very useful) syntax that MATLAB's does not, so programs written for Octave might not run in MATLAB. For example, Octave supports the use of both single and double quotes. MATLAB only supports single quotes, which means parsing errors will occur if you try to use double quotes (e.g. in an Octave script when run on MATLAB). Octave and MATLAB users who must collaborate with each other need to take note of these issues and program accordingly.
Note: Octave can be run in "traditional mode" (by including the --traditional flag when starting Octave) which makes it give an error when certain Octave-only syntax is used.
This chapter documents instances where MATLAB's parser will fail to run code that will run in Octave, and instances where Octave's parser will fail to run code that will run in MATLAB. This page also contains notes on differences between things that are different between Octave (in traditional mode) and MATLAB.
C-Style Autoincrement and Assignment operatorsEdit
Octave supports C-style autoincrement and assignment operators:
 i++; ++i; i+=1; etc.
MatLab does not.
TemporariesEdit
Octave and MATLAB support temporary expressions.
 tmp = size(mtx);
 columns = tmp(2); % works in both
 columns = size(mtx)(2); % works in Octave, fails in MATLAB
 columns = size(mtx,2); % works in both
Product of booleansEdit
MATLAB (R2011b) and Octave (3.6.4) responds differently when computing the product of boolean values:
 X = ones(2,2) ; prod(size(X)==1)
 MATLAB: PROD is only supported for floating point input.
 Octave: ans = 0
narginEdit
Nargin returns the number of input arguments of a function. MATLAB (R2011b) will not allow the following; Octave will.
 function myfun = testfun(c)
 if (nargin == 1)
 nargin = 2;
 else
 nargin = 3
 end
startup.mEdit
MATLAB will execute a file named 'startup.m' in the directory it was called from on the command line. Octave does not. It will, however, execute a file named '.octaverc' which can be edited to execute existing files. This means that '.octaverc' can be edited to look for and execute a 'startup.m' file.
if ( exist ('startup.m', 'file') )
 source ('startup.m') # load startup.m like MATLAB
endif
['abc ';'abc']Edit
['abc ';'abc'] is allowed in Octave; MATLAB returns: ?? Error using ==> vertcat
In Octave the result will be a 2 by 4 matrix.
Calling ShellsEdit
the "! STRING" syntax calls a shell with command STRING in MATLAB. Octave does not recognize ! as system call, since it is used in logical operations. Always use 'system (STRING)' for compatibility.
If you really miss the one-character shortcut, for convenience on the command line you can create a similar shortcut by defining the following in your '.octaverc' file:
 function S(a), system(a); end
Now "S STRING" will evaluate the string in the shell.
Attempting to load empty filesEdit
MATLAB lets you load empty files, OCTAVE does not.
 system('touch emptyfile');
 A = load('emptyfile')
 MATLAB R2011b : A=[]
 Octave 3.6.2 : error: load: file 'emptyfile' seems to be empty!
 error: load: unable to extract matrix size from file 'emptyfile'
fprintf and printfEdit
Octave supports both printf and fprintf as a command for printing to the screen. MATLAB requires fprintf:
 foo = 5;
 printf ('My result is: %d\n', foo) % Prints to STDOUT. Octave only
fprintf covers writing both to the screen and to a file by omitting the optional file-handle argument:
 foo = 5;
 fprintf('My result is: %d\n', foo) % Prints to STDOUT. Octave and MATLAB
WhitespaceEdit
MATLAB does not allow whitespace before the transpose operator but Octave does (it is just an operator like others).
 [0 1]' % works in MATLAB and Octave
 [0 1] ' % works only in Octave
Line continuationEdit
MATLAB always requires ... for line continuation.
 rand (1, ...
 2)
while Octave also supports
 rand (1,
 2)
and
 rand (1, \
 2)
Logical operator NOTEdit
Octave allows users to use both ~ and ! with boolean values. The first is for MATLAB compatibility, while ! will be more familiar to C/Java/etc programmers. If you use the latter, however, you'll be writing code that MATLAB will not accept:
 - For not-equal comparison, Octave can use both '~=' or '!='. MATLAB requires '~='.
GNU Octave Control PackageEdit
Both MATLAB and Octave have toolboxes intended to control system design. In Octave, the toolbox is called the Octave Control Package. The package can be downloaded, compiled and installed with the command pkg install control from the Octave prompt. Users of Debian and its derivatives can install it by installing the package "octave-control", if it is not installed by default.
For more information about functions' syntax, type help <name of function>. For more information about the Control Package, view the PDF manual in the package's "doc" folder.
Small differences exist - an example is c2d. Here are the two formats for the bilinear transformation with an analog model C:
 - discrete = c2d(C,0.5,'tustin'); % Matlab
 - discrete = c2d(C,0.5,'bi'); % GNU Octave
Some other differencesEdit
 - MATLAB uses the percent sign '%' to begin a comment. Octave uses both the hash symbol # and the percent sign % interchangeably.
 - For exponentiation, Octave can use ^ or **; MATLAB requires ^.
 - For string delimiters, Octave can use ' or "; MATLAB requires '.
 - To end blocks, Octave can use end or specify the block with endif, endfor, ...; MATLAB requires end.
 - Octave supports C-style hexadecimal notation (e.g. "0xF0"); MATLAB requires the hex2dec function (e.g. "hex2dec('F0')").
 - If something (like Netlab) need a function called fcnchk, you can just put the following into a file called fcnchk.m and put it somewhere Octave can find it:
function f=fcnchk(x, n)
 f = x;
end
 - The main difference is the lack of GUI for Octave. There have been many attempts to solve this issue though they are all eventually abandoned once they no longer work with new Octave versions. There is an experimental GUI as part of Octave already released, which is planned to become official with the next release.
Notes about specific functionsEdit
 - For "dbstep, in" use "dbstep"; for "dbstep", use "dbnext"
 - For "eig(A,B)" use "qz(A,B)"
 - fputs function is not available in MATLAB. Use fprintf instead.
 - page_output_immediately = 1 should this be default in --traditional?
 - strread and textscan in Octave 3.4.0 are not fully compatible with their implementations in MATLAB 2009b (and probably later versions as well). For instance, the N=-1 option (repeat reading format until end of string) is not implemented in Octave 3.4.0 . Using a value of N=a positive integer (read format N times) does work the same as in MATLAB.
 - textscan function is not included in Octave versions prior to 3.4.0. Use fscanf instead.
 - For the linprog function, MATLAB is more permissive by allowing the "a" and "b" inputs to be either row or column vectors. Octave requires that they be column vectors.
 - In Octave, one can specify data labels (or legends) with the plot function, while in MATLAB, one can only use the legend function.
Octave: plot(x, y, ';label;')
MATLAB/Octave: plot(x

1. Introduction: I'm Emma Gannon, an author and broadcaster. Today's class is all about how to keep your mental well-being in check while working remote. My podcast, Ctrl Alt Delete, is all about creative careers and unconventional career paths, and the topic of mental health and burnout comes up a lot in those conversations about modern work. In this class, I'll be talking about tackling burnout, creating psychological boundaries, and remote work etiquette. This class is for anyone who's currently working from home or working remotely and is also struggling with how to maintain their well-being while working and living and doing everything else in the same space. Before, we would leave our front door and go to work. We would have a physical boundary automatically there. Now that we don't have that, this is how to create boundaries in our minds, how to really distinguish between our home self and our work self and how to take care of ourselves better. But it's safe to say that when we look after ourselves and we look after our well-being and really focus on it and take it seriously and take more breaks throughout the day, we're fundamentally happier and we feel like we can take on more, which actually results in more productivity. Working constantly and then burning out is one of the most unproductive ways of working, because ultimately, what burnout means is sometimes in the most extreme cases, being signed off from work for months at a time. That's extremely unproductive for our work, life, and overall well-being. We should take the daily steps to check in with ourselves and really make sure we're doing okay. The one major takeaway I would love students to take note of in this class is how to really look after yourself during the working day and making just tiny steps, tiny bits of more time for yourself to really make sure that you're checking in with how you genuinely feel and not just distracting yourself by constantly working. This class is all about not ignoring any warning signs that you need to change things up. I'm really excited about bringing you this class. It's a really important topic. It's very close to my heart because I've had to learn to adjust how I worked during this time and make peace with maybe doing less, and I think it's relevant for pretty much all of us, whatever we're dealing with at the moment. We would love to hear from you so please do share your experiences in the Project Gallery and ask us any questions in the Discussion section below. 2. Tackling Burnout : In this lesson, I'm going to be talking about tackling burnout. What it is and why it's happening more often when we're working from home and when it tends to feel like and how we can spot some of our own warning signs. Let's discuss how to tackle burnout. In an office, we might be more aware of ourselves and our surroundings and even the time of the day, but when we're working from home, we can have a tendency to overwork and be lost our own heads, and not look up for hours. Because most of the time it's just us working remotely, away from our colleagues and away from the outside world, away from our office and we're not having that interaction that we're used to. People say the open-plan working is quite distracting and there's definitely some truth in that. But at least then we had something to break up our day even for me going to a cafe and then coming home. It means you're getting up and maybe having a chat with someone or making a cup of tea. When we're working in an office or somewhere away from home, we're more likely to take in our surroundings, have more variety to the day, see different things, walk different places, have a commute, or just look around more often and take in a bit more of the world. It's important to be aware of how we're spending our days at home and how we can be productive while also nourishing our minds and our bodies too. As a writer who sits and works from the same desk every day, I'm definitely tempted to ignore the signals and just push through without taking stoke. When we're working from home, sometimes we're just going from our bedroom to the kitchen or to the desk and it can be quite samey every day. Sometimes we jump straight into work, whether that's on our beds, just opening our laptop, or being on our phone that's constantly buzzing, and we're suddenly at work when we haven't really guyed ourselves up for work, who got ourselves in that frame of mind. It's really important for us to have these boundaries around working from home and I'm going to talk more about that in this next section about creating these boundaries. It's really important to notice our moods and our patterns, to notice our surroundings, to go outside, to look out of the window, and factoring time for ourselves and make sure that we're not just constantly working. It's also a great idea to make your mornings count and start the day off well, even if you could just spare 15 minutes in the morning to listen to your favorite song, or lie down on a yoga mat, or make yourself a coffee and sit with it before jumping straight into work. One read good tactic that I love is from Julia Cameron, which is asking yourself, HALT, H-A-L-T. Am I hungry? Am I angry? Am I lonely? Or am I thirsty? If you have one of these that you can take off, then make sure you rectify it. If you're lonely, give someone a call, if you're hungry, go and make yourself some proper nourishing food. It's really important to hone these things, these smaller bumps in the road as you go along. Just feeling a little bit tired or a little bit hungry can actually lead to feeling more overwhelmed, more tired, and not able to do your work properly, and these smaller things can ladder up. Just noticing that you need a glass of water or noticing that you need to go and have a little stretch or even a lie-down, because if we don't spot these early signs, they can lead to burnout. Burnout is what happens when we're not listening to ourselves and that
