Imagine a property with both historic significance and present-day potential to be the next big break for Summit County's growing population, its aggressive demand for conservation of open space, or both. A rare find in today's market, the Knorr Lakeside Ranch along the banks of Green Mountain Reservoir is an exceptional property offering both future development and conservation opportunities. A Colorado ranch for sale offering that is a unique opportunity.
With significant local heritage dating back to the 1800s, the Knorr Lakeside Ranch presents a rare opportunity to purchase one of the last large remaining tracts of unencumbered land in Summit County. This first-time offering of 1125 contiguous acres, 1.4 miles of reservoir frontage, upper acreage bordering Arapahoe National Forest, and over 30 CFS of senior water rights dating back to 1896, is perfectly positioned to offer a solution to Summit County's conflict between the citizens' desire for open space and the growing demand for affordable housing.
Construction of the Green Mountain Reservoir Dam began in 1938 as part of the Colorado Big-Thompson Project. The Knorr Ranch once existed at the basin of the present-day Green Mountain Reservoir waters and was relocated to land at a higher elevation surrounding the reservoir to accommodate the project.
In 2013, the Summit County Housing Authority authorized the Summit County Housing Needs Assessment study. This assessment identified the number of units that would need to be produced to house the local workforce through 2020. A subsequent 2016 study reaffirmed what was originally discovered – the housing demands in Summit County were significant. Both studies concluded that at least 1685 housing units need to be created by 2020 to sustain the growing workforce. The Knorr Lakeside Ranch presents an opportunity for future development of sub-dividable land with water rights, to help meet the housing demands of the growing community.
This unencumbered property overlooking the reservoir is also ideally situated for a developer with big ideas, including the potential for a golf course or other project that has unique requirements such as ample water resources.
Summit County has an aggressive conservation and open space program, with a mill levy funding mechanism in place for acquisition of open space. This acreage presents unique potential for conservation and is one of the last opportunities of its kind.
The historic Knorr Ranch is offered for sale at $8,438,000 by the original owners. 1125 Contiguous acres including 1.4 miles Green Mountain Reservoir frontage and significant water recourses, the Ranch is poised with the potential to create a renaissance in Summit County, just as the Green Mountain Reservoir Project did all those years ago.

- Turn off aquarium lights.
- Dim the lights in the room where the shipping box will be opened. Never open the box in bright light – severe stress or trauma may result from sudden exposure to bright light.
- Float the sealed bag in the aquarium for 15 minutes (Fig. A). Never open the shipping bag at this time. This step allows the water in the shipping bag to adjust slowly to the temperature in the aquarium, while maintaining a high level of dissolved oxygen.
- After floating the sealed shipping bag for 15 minutes, cut open the bag just under the metal clip (Fig. B) and roll the top edge of the bag down one inch to create an air pocket within the lip of the bag. This will enable the bag to float on the surface of the water (Fig. C). For heavy pieces of live coral that will submerge the shipping bag, place the bag containing the coral in a plastic bowl or specimen container.
- Add 1/2 cup of aquarium water to the shipping bag (Fig. D).
- Repeat step 5 every four minutes until the shipping bag is full.
- Lift the shipping bag from the aquarium and discard half the water from the bag (Fig. E).
- Float the shipping bag in the aquarium again and proceed to add 1/2 cup of aquarium water to the shipping bag every four minutes until the bag is full.
- Net aquatic life from the shipping bag and release into the aquarium (Fig. F).
- Remove the filled shipping bag from the aquarium and discard the water. Never release shipping water directly into the aquarium.

This is a video of Slavonian grebes fishing in the USA.
From the RSPB in Britain:
New research is hoping to shed light on the lives of one of Scotland's most mysterious birds. The Slavonian Grebe only began breeding in the UK in 1908; its population today remains restricted to northern Scotland where latest counts have shown only 22 breeding pairs remain, the lowest level since monitoring records began. As it is a relative newcomer to the country, many aspects of the bird's behaviour remain unclear but conservationists are hoping further study will identify what may be driving a decline in numbers.

Australian consumers showing high interest in Asian vegetables, new trend
Almost one third of Australian consumers have shown "significant interest" in buying more Asian vegetables, according to a new study from the Australian vegetable industry.
The study, which surveyed 741 Australian consumers, is part of ongoing research by representative body for Australian vegetable and potato growers, AusVeg. The research is funded through Horticulture Australia Limited, using the National Vegetable Levy, and matched funds from the Australian Government.
"This new data supports trends over the last eight years showing that both the value and the gross production of Asian vegetables in Australia are continuing to rise," said Andrew White, Manager of Industry Development and Communications at AUSVEG.
"Asian vegetables used to be considered a market niche catering for Australians of Asian descent in particular, but now about 25 per cent of consumers in general are incorporating Asian vegetables into more traditional Australian cuisine styles as well," Mr White said.
According to AusVeg, monthly trends in 2013 showed that consumption of Asian vegetables was up by around 20 per cent since July 2013, and that shoppers were very likely to recommend them to friends and family.
"Asian veggies are seen to be good value for money, quick to cook and prepare, while also tasting great, which ticks all the boxes for consumers," Mr White said.
Buk choy best known Asian vegetable
Buk Choy had the highest spontaneous awareness among consumers, followed closely by Choy Sum, according to AusVeg.
However, the research also showed a large portion of consumers could not name any varieties, indicating that there was "still potential for boosting sales by increasing awareness of Asian vegetables overall".
"Communicating the health benefits of Asian vegetables is particularly important as 90 per cent of Australian adults still don't eat the recommended daily serves of vegetables," Mr White said.
Preference for individual purchases
The study showed that Asian vegetables have a monthly consumption rate of about 89 serves per month, with most consumers preferring to purchase them individually rather than in packs.
"The popularity of Asian vegetables is on the rise, and the future purchasing intent data suggests consumers are likely to continue enjoying the convenience, health benefits and great taste of vegetables in this category," Mr White said.

How to manually uninstall Deep Freeze
for Windows 2K/XP
by Emiliano Scavuzzo
 If you are reading this tutorial you'd probably know that Deep Freeze not always work the way it should and sometimes it can do more damage than good. Some common scenarios include the installer not being able to uninstall DF even when the disks are thawed, Deep Unfreezer not being able to thaw the disks or something worst: the system fails to boot. This tutorial explains how to manually uninstall Deep Freeze by removing it's core driver from the registry and therefore completely disabling it. This tutorial doesn't explain how to do a complete uninstallation, though. There's a lot of garbage Deep Freeze installs on the disk and registry that you'll have to find yourself, but remember that this garbage can't prevent the computer from booting or freeze the disks. You can always try to restore the registry from a point before installing Deep Freeze by using the backups saved on %windir%\repair or System Volume Information.
 This tutorial is intended for advanced users. If you don't even know what the registry is you shouldn't follow these instructions. Playing with the registry is dangerous and you could damage your system by doing so.
Always make backup copies of the registry files before trying this tutorial.
Without a complete uninstallation you may not be able to reinstall Deep Freeze on your system.
Let's get to work:
1. First we need a way to edit the registry. The way to do this depends on your situation. If your computer is thawed you can simply use Regedit. If your computer is frozen or if it doesn't boot you'll need to find another way. Here are some alternatives:
 - If you have a multiboot computer with another copy of Windows 2K/XP you can boot from there.
 - You can physically mount the disk on another computer that uses Windows 2K/XP.
 - You can use a tool that lets you boot and edit the registry. A good example of this is PE Builder that lets you build a Windows PE CD and boot Windows from there.
Windows XP can import and edit the system hive from Windows 2K (hive format 1.3) but Windows 2K can't import the system hive from Windows XP (hive format 1.5).
2. If your computer is thawed run Regedit. If it's not thawed follow one of the alternatives described above, run Regedit (or Regedt32 on Windows 2K) and import the system hive. To import the hive highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. On the menu go to File or Registry, Load Hive and open the system hive from the control, that should be on %windir%\system32\config (from the disk where DF is installed).
3. A dialog box will open and you will be prompted to enter a name for the key where the hive will be loaded. We'll use MySystem. If you are using Windows 2K, after loading the hive close Regedt32 and run Regedit.
4. Highlight the new key HKLM\MySystem (or HKLM\SYSTEM if you didn't have to import the hive) and select Edit and Find from the menu.
5. On the Find dialog box type UpperFilters and check only the Values checkbox. Then click Find Next.
6. The program will find a value with the name UpperFilters. Open this value and if there's a line with the name of the Deep Freeze driver (DeepFrz or DepFrzLo) delete it including the return, leaving the rest of the lines intact. Also, if you are using ThawSpace and you want to get rid of it delete that line too (ThwSpace), if you want to keep the ThawSpace leave it there. Press F3 to find the next match and repeat the operation until you have fixed all the UpperFilters values inside the HKLM\MySystem key.
7. Navigate to HKLM\MySystem\Select and check the value with the name Default. It has the number of the control set key that the system will use when booted. If it is 1 the control set is ControlSet001, if it is 2 the control set is ControlSet002, and so on. We'll assume the control set is ControlSet001 but you should use the one specified by the value Default.
8. Now go to HKLM\MySystem\ControlSet001\Services and delete the keys with the name of the Deep Freeze drivers (DeepFrz or DepFrzLo and DepFrzHi). Also, if you decided to get rid of the ThawSpace delete the key with the name of the ThawSpace driver (ThwSpace).
9. That's it. Now reboot and load the system where Deep Freeze was installed and you'll notice you can make permanent changes to disks that where previously frozen.

Ever since Visual Basic evolved into the VB.NET framework, shape controls in VB6 are no longer available. In VB2013, the programmer needs to write code to create various shapes and drawings.
Visual Basic 2013 offers various graphics capabilities that allow us to write code that can create all kinds of shapes and even fonts. In this lesson, you will learn how to write code to draw lines and shapes on the Visual Basic 2013 IDE.
Before you can draw anything on a form, you need to create the Graphics object in Visual Basic 2013. A graphics object is created using the CreateGraphics() method. You can create a graphics object that draws to the form itself or a control.
To draw graphics on the default form, you can use the following statement:
Dim myGraphics As Graphics =me.CreateGraphics
To draw in a picture box, you can use the following statement:
Dim myGraphics As Graphics = PictureBox1.CreateGraphics
You can also use the text box as a drawing surface, the statement is:
Dim myGraphics As Graphics = TextBox1.CreateGraphics
The Graphics object that is created does not draw anything on the screen until you call the methods of the Graphics object. In addition, you need to create the Pen object as the drawing tool. We shall examine the code that can create a pen in the following section.
A Pen can be created using the following code:
myPen = New Pen(Brushes.Color, LineWidth)
where myPen is a Pen variable. You can use any variable name instead of myPen. The first argument of the pen object defines the color of the drawing line and the second argument defines the width of the drawing line. For example, the following code created a pen that can draw a dark magenta line and the width of the line is 10 pixels:
myPen = New Pen(Brushes.DarkMagenta, 10)
You can also create a Pen using the following statement:
Dim myPen As Pen myPen = New Pen(Drawing.Color.Blue, 5)
Where the first argument define the color(here is blue, you can change that to red or whatever color you want) and the second argument is the width of the drawing line.
Having created the Graphics and the Pen objects, you are now ready to draw graphics on the screen which we will show you in the following section.
In this section, we will show you how to draw a straight line on the Form.
First of all, launch Visual basic 2013 Express. In the startup page, drag a button onto the form. Double-click on the button and key in the following code.
Private Sub BtnDraw_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles BtnDraw.Click Dim myGraphics As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics Dim myPen As Pen myPen = New Pen(Brushes.DarkMagenta, 20) myGraphics.DrawLine(myPen, 60, 180, 220, 50) End Sub
The second line created the Graphics object and the third and fourth line create the Pen object. The fifth draw a line on the Form using the DrawLine method. The first argument uses the Pen object created by you, the second argument and the third arguments define the coordinate the starting point of the line, the fourth and the last arguments define the ending coordinate of the line. The syntax of the Drawline argument is
object.DrawLine(Pen, x1, y1, x2, y2)
For the above example, the starting coordinate is (60,80) and the ending coordinate is (220,50)
Figure 25.1 shows the line created by the program.

Could machine learning save this sea cow?
Dugong - Peter Shanks.jpg
Source: Peter Shanks (adjusted for clarity)
It's hard to imagine this adorable sea cow getting caught in a fishing net, or losing its home to coastal development. Unfortunately that's what's happening to many populations of large marine mammals around the world. It's urgent—sea cows are under threat of extinction.
Sea cows might be cute, but it turns out they're also really hard to keep track of. And keeping accurate data on populations is critical for conservation efforts.
For decades, scientists had to spend days peering out of small planes to count populations, which was expensive and sometimes hazardous. Dr. Amanda Hodgson of Murdoch University has helped to change that, using drones to take aerial photography of the ocean. But now that they can collect aerial photos remotely, there's a new challenge: how can they find the sea cows in 45,000 photos?
Try it yourself—look for the sea cow in this image, which you can click to get in full resolution:
Dugong - 30FWDF2F2_DSC2458.JPG
Source: Dr. Amanda Hodgson
Can't find it? Hint: it's in the middle of the lower-left quarter. Yes, that little gray smaller-than-fingernail-sized sliver. To see where it is, check out the image with the sea cow circled
Now, what if you had to do this manually on tens of thousands of images? It would really slow down research, and it wouldn't scale to other regions and other species of sea mammals.
So Dr. Hodgson and team decided to apply a little magic: machine learning. She teamed up with Dr. Frederic Maire, a computer scientist at Queensland University of Technology. Using TensorFlow, the free open source machine learning platform that's now been out for exactly one year, they built a detector that could learn to find sea cows in these photos automatically. (It's a little like the image recognition that lets you search Google Photos for shots of particular dog species, or sunsets, or whatnot—but much more specialized for this scientific task.)
The results are encouraging: an early version of their detector could find 80% of the sea cows they'd found manually in images, and they expect to improve performance over time. This suggests the approach may scale well—not only for sea cows, but for other sea mammals such as humpback whales and certain dolphins as well. Eventually if they're able to track these threatened populations on a large scale, conservationists have a much better shot at knowing how they're impacted by human activities, and where it's most urgent we protect their habitats. In a small way, machine learning might help save the humble sea cow.


Delocalized Electrons?
Electron delocalization is when an electron is shared by more than two atoms. This phenomenon puzzled chemists until it was learned that electrons could be shared in this way, but delocalized electrons have turned out to be very important in organic chemistry and affect the reactions a compound can undergo.

REGULAR (UP) SEX IS ALWAYS HARMFUL
by Dr. Lawrence Wilson
© June 2017, L.D. Wilson Consultants, Inc.
All information in this article is for educational purposes only. It is not for the diagnosis, treatment, prescription or cure of any disease or health condition.
Regular sex. This is the most common way that heterosexual people have sex. The theme of this article is that regular sex is not the preferred method. There is another method that is much gentler, and much healthier for both men and women.
Down sex. This is not well known on earth. The difference between it and regular sex are:
- It is much gentler
- It goes on for up to two hours.
- There is little movement of the penis.
- There are no orgasms
- The participants can be clothed
- The energy centers do not spin backwards
- There is much less blending between the man and the woman.
- Very powerful healing occurs with this method that does not occur with regular sex.
- Subtle energy moves more in a downward direction (from the head to the feet). With regular sex, subtle energy tends to move in an upward direction.
There are numerous problems with regular sex. Some affect both men and women, while others just affect women.
The reasons regular sex is harmful, while down sex is very healthful, are:
1. Disease. Contracting sexually transmitted diseases more easily (both men and women).
2. Fluid loss. Regular sex causes much greater loss of vital sexual fluid inboth men and women.
3. Physical trauma. There is usually some tearing and scarring of the vagina with regular sex. This does not occur with down sex, and does not occur in men because their sexual organs are less delicate.
4. Other danger (women only). Women normally go out of control a little with regular sex. This can easily turn to rape. With down sex, the woman can be fully clothed, which reduces the danger somewhat.
1. Embarrassment. Any time a woman disrobes completely, there is often some embarrassment. In contrast, with down sex a woman can remain fully clothed or almost so.
2. Sadness (mainly women). This is subtle, but is the result of all the problems in this article.
3. Little love. Regular sex is not as loving as down sex.
4. Opens the second center. Regular sex opens the second center on women. This is harmful if the woman is not married. She develops a look that says "I am available – come and get me."
ADDICTIVE FOR BOTH, AND DISEMPOWERING FOR WOMEN
1. Addiction to orgasms (both men and women). The orgasms of regular sex are powerful. They deplete nutrients and mix up the mind, and as a result are often addictive.
2. Disempowering. The reasons why regular sex is disempowering for women are:
a. Attachment. Regular sex attaches women to men much more than does down sex. Men do not attach to women during sex nearly as much.
b. Out of control. Women easily go out of control during regular sex when they have orgasms. This does not occur with men.
c. Physical position. Women are usually pinned down by the much larger and heavier male body. Also, this causes women to be often passive participants in regular sex, which is also disempowering.
1. Fluid loss and orgasms. Both men and women become somewhat mixed up by the fluid loss and the orgasms of regular sex. The orgasms spin all seven of the energy centers in the wrong direction and slow down the spin of the three centers or dantiens.
These problems work against personal creativity and cause other problems for both men and women. These problems do not exist with down sex.
2. Attachment. Regular sex attaches women to men in a powerful way. This tends to reduce the women's creativity. The problem occurs less with down sex.
Regular sex teaches both men and women that men are in charge of sex, and women are mainly sex objects. It teaches that the women are also basically passive when it comes to sex.
DISCONNECTS MEN AND WOMEN
Too much stimulation of the first energy center that occurs with regular sex damages the seventh energy center and causes both men and women to lose their connection with the Holy Spirit or Higher Self.
1. Do down sex or avoid all sex, but do not do regular sex.
2. Follow a complete nutritional balancing program to replenish nutrients and balance the body.
3. Do the vaginal coffee implant or stuffing procedure to help eliminate infection and other effects of regular sex.
4. Perhaps do other vaginal healing such as peroxide baths and massage to reverse damage to the vagina. For details, read The Vagina.

Welcome to the publication platform of the scientific network Worlds of Related Coercions in Work (WORCK), funded as COST Action CA18205 by the European Union (2019-2023).
WORCK calls for a radical change of perspective in labour history. It suggests a new analytical framework for the understanding of labour and power relations by studying the persistence and transformation of coercion across gender orders, geographical regions and historical eras. The network members – about 150 scholars from 40 different countries worldwide – link the stories of work and production with those of violence, expropriation and marginalisation. They study processes, dynamics and experiences of labour coercion in a wide array of historical settings ranging from the plantation, the army regiment, the prison camp, the mine, the household and the factory and the connections between such sites. They explore work ranging from wage labour to the most precarious forms of non-commodified work from the ancient world to the present.

Moner Alo is a clinic run by Dr. Rituparna Dasgupta, a renowned psychiatrist in Kolkata. The clinic was unable to manage patient calls and appointments. Moner Alo also was unable track patient's calls or book appointments after office hours. All this combined with multiple office numbers was making it difficult to manage the clinic.
Healthcare industry is considered as one of the most noble sector. But, with the increase in ease of communication, patients demand more efficient interaction with the doctors. Therefore, it is important to install a management system which can help hospitals and clinics not miss out on the calls from their patients.
Using a call management system Moner Alo wanted to achieve the following goals:
- Have a single number catering to every call requirement.
- Keep a track of all the appointments.
- Stay 24×7 available, even after clinic hours and ensure timely response.
MyOperator provided Moner Alo with a Virtual number. This enabled them to manage their calls and reach back to them to confirm and reschedule patient appointments. Also, the extension numbers and voicemail facility helped patients connect with doctors in case of emergency.
Moner Alo enjoyed the following benefits:
- Ensured customer availability after office hours.
- Tracked and ensured timely follow up with patient calls.
- No appointments were missed.
Availability of call recordings, tracing of place from which the call is made is good. Reminders about renewals and console is very good. Overall very good experience.

The giant turn-of-the-century water meter displayed at the Quemahoning Reservoir's family recreational area is "symbolic of the immense impact that the dam has had in the region," said James Greco, Cambria Somerset Authority chairman.
The 40-foot-long pipe-like device measured the flow of billions of gallons of water to the Johnstown steel mills for nearly 100 years without a single failure, he said at a dedication ceremony Friday for the Venturi Meter Historic Display and Museum. To produce one ton of steel, it took 271 tons of water.
The museum houses photographs, documents and multimedia displays detailing the construction and history of the dam. Greco called the displays the first generation. Members of the Cambria Somerset Authority, the owners of the Que, hope that visitors will add to the display with more pictures and artifacts.
On Friday more than two dozen county officials and business representatives strolled down the hill from the pavilion where the dedication ceremony had been held. Numerous families were setting up campsites nearby. Adults and children laughed and called to each other as they frolicked in the roped-off water area or soaked up the sun on the small beach.
"On Memorial Day we counted 85 kids at one time in the water at the beach," Greco said.
Last summer there were 15,000 visitor days, and this year it looks like that number may be surpassed, he said.
Greco called projects like the meter and museum a "critical draw" for visitors to the historic and recreational area.
Greco and Somerset County Commissioner Jim Marker spoke at the dedication, along with John M. McGrath, associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, who produced the meter and museum multimedia display.
In the early 1900s the Venturi Meter was used to measure the water flowing to Johnstown's mills. At that time it was the largest meter built on the East Coast. It was designed to operate with no moving parts, he said. At its greatest diameter, the meter is as tall as the average American woman, or 64 inches.
"There are so many layers of history," McGrath said of the reservoir.
The six layers begin with the Native Americans, who named the area, which translated means "the lick in the pines," he said. Other layers include early settlers, steel mills and the building of a water resource for industrial and recreational growth and for increasing the quality of life for local residents with quality drinking water, he said.
"The last layer is probably the most promising because it is open ended," McGrath said.
Marker agreed, stating that "the best history of this dam lies in the future."
He said the reservoir will continue to be an economic generator for the area.
The meter and museum cost approximately $40,000, with funding donated by 1st Summit Bank of Johnstown, the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies, Cambria Somerset Authority, Summer's Best 2 Weeks, Somerset Trust Co. and L.R. Kimball, the Ebensburg engineering firm.
The Somerset County Tourism Grant Program also contributed to the financing of the project. Representatives of all the contributors attended the dedication.

|Nepenthes candalaga Lagunday & V.B.Amoroso, |
in Lagunday, Rosa, Cleofei, Patano, Coritico & Amoroso, 2022.
A new endemic species, Nepenthes candalaga (Nepenthes sect. Alata) from Mt. Candalaga (eastern Mindanao, Philippines) is here described and illustrated. This new taxon resembles N. justinae but can be easily distinguished in having the lamina with 2‒3 longitudinal nerves, orbicular lid, non-bifid lid spur tip, triangular lid appendage, short banner-shaped trap wings, and absent upper pitcher rim. The species is assessed as Critically Endangered (CE) according to the IUCN criteria. This novelty is the 38th species of Nepenthes in Mindanao making the island with the highest concentration of Nepenthes species in the Philippines. This discovery increases the number of Nepenthes species in the Philippines to 61. The new taxon described faces threats of deforestation and habitat loss without legislative protection.

Slough, pronounced like slew, refers to a marshy place or mire. As a verb, it can mean to plod through mud or for a slough to engulf something. The word's origins are appropriately murky. It derives from Middle English sloughe or slo, which comes from Old English sloh, meaning muddy ground. After that the origins are uncertain. It could derive from Middle High German slouche, meaning ditch, or from Proto-Germanic *slokhaz.
Figuratively, slough describes a state of moral degradation. John Bunyan made use of this meaning in The Pilgrim's Progress with the "Slough of Despond," a deep bog into which Christian sinks under the weight of sin and guilt.
Then I stepped to him [Help] that pluckt him [Christian] out, and said, Sir, wherefore, since over this place is the way from the City of Destruction to yonder Gate, is it that this plat is not mended, that poor travellers might go thither with more security? And he said unto me, This miry Slough is such a place as cannot be mended; it is the descent whither the scum and filth that attends conviction for sin doth continually run, and therefore it is called the Slough of Dispond; for still as the sinner is awakened about his lost condition, there ariseth in his soul many fears and doubts, and discouraging apprehensions, which all of them get together, and settle in this place: And this is the reason of the badness of this ground (The Pilgrim's Progress, The First Part, paragraph 53).
|Diamond Python sloughing.|
I think it's fascinating that words with such different meanings would converge on the same spelling but retain different pronunciations. Here's a fun exercise. Use the word slough in a sentence multiple times touching on its different meanings. Then read the sentence aloud, matching the pronunciation with the meaning.
For example: The snake was sloughed while sloughing in a slough. [Read as: The snake was slewed while sluffing in a slew.]

Decision-making problems in water resources are often associated with multiple objectives and multiple stakeholders. To enable more effective and acceptable decision outcome, it is required that more participation is ensured in the decision making process. This is particularly relevant for flood management problems where the number of stakeholders could be very large. Although application of multi-objective decision-making tools in water resources is very wide, application with the consideration of multiple stakeholders is much more limited. The solution methodologies adapted for multi-objective multi-participant decision problems are generally based on aggregation of decisions obtained for individual decision makers. This approach seems somewhat inadequate when the number of stakeholders is very large, as often is the case in flood management.
The present study has been performed to have an overview of existing solution methodologies for multi-objective decision making approaches in water resources. Decision making by single and multiple stakeholders has been considered under both deterministic and uncertain conditions. It has been found that the use of fuzzy set theory to represent various uncertainties associated with decision making situations under multi-objective multiple-participant environment is very promising. Coupled with multi-objective methods (e. g. compromise programming and goal programming), fuzzy approach has also the ability to support group decisions, to reflect collective opinions and conflicting judgments.

Scientists give frost the cold shoulder
Forget about defrosting your fridge, say goodbye to your windscreen scraper and don't worry about the small matter of your plane falling out of the sky with ice-clagged wings.
Scientists have designed a material that will remain 90 per cent ice free – without the need for chemicals or a coating.
From the loss of efficiency in refrigeration equipment to the problem of icing in transport infrastructure, frost accumulation is estimated to cost industry tens of billions of pounds annually. Dealing with the issue also has an environmental cost – de-icing a single passenger jet takes about 4,000 litres of antifreeze, much of which finds its way into the water table.
Now researchers have developed a structure that they say uses the properties of ice

Background: Reduction mammaplasty is a frequently performed plastic surgical procedure, yet preoperative assessment usually excludes an estimated resection weight. In this retrospective study, a formula was derived using regression analysis of routinely measured preoperative anthropomorphic measurements and intraoperative resection weights.
Methods: Data were collected from 214 consecutive breast reduction patients operated on at a tertiary referral center between January of 1993 and January of 2006. The operations were performed by 15 plastic surgeons using a variety of reduction pattern techniques. Four variables were recorded for each patient: notch to nipple distance, nipple to inframammary crease distance, body mass index, and age. Regression analysis was performed on the data to establish which preoperative measurements correlated most accurately with the resection weight.
Results: The following formula was established relating nipple to inframammary crease distance and notch to nipple distance measurement to the weight removed: Breast weight = (35.4 × notch to nipple distance + 60.66 × nipple to inframammary crease distance) – 1239.64.
Conclusion: Use of this formula aids the surgeon with patient counseling, insurance company quotes, and intraoperatively in patients with asymmetry or those undergoing reconstruction, as a guide to resection weights.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
In my app I have the following structure:
Activity A calls activity B, and finishes, removing itself from the stack; Activity B receives an intent from activity A that specifies some action to perform, when these actions are performed, the user will see a message indicating it (still in activity B).If the user presses the home button the app will go to background, calling "onPause" and then "onStop". All works as expected.
The problem is that if the user leaves the app in background for a few hours, and tries to open the app again (after a few hours) the onCreate method in activity B will be called with the exact same intent as it received some hours ago from activity A.
(if the user goes back to the app a few minutes after, he will see activity B just like when he left)
What I wanted was that in this case my app would open activity A and not activity B or, activity B but with the message that was on screen when user left.
Looking at the activity life cycle it seems that the app is killing by the OS, all of this makes sense, what I really don't understand is why activity B opens with onCreate method and the same intent as before.

Use onSaveInstanceState() to record the state of ActivityB. Android will call this before it kills the process. When the user returns to the application, it will recreate the process and then recreate whatever activity was on the top of the activity stack (in your case, ActivityB). When it does that, it will pass the saved instance state to the activity as a parameter in the onCreate() call. You should be able to put something in there so that your ActivityB can tell that it is being recreated after a process kill/restart. In that case, ActivityB could just show the user the message again (which it would have to save in the onSaveInstanceState() method) or it could just redirect the user back to ActivityA so that he can start all over again.

thanks this was the solution i implemented and it worked just fine. – paulo Nov 26 '12 at 20:05
This is the expected behaviour described in the Activity lifecycle.
When an activity is started it always receives an Intent object. The intent that was used to start your activity B was preserved by the OS when your ativity was killed, and resend when the activity was returned to "live".
It's up tu your activity preserve the status and restore it as needed. Based on your problem description I would suggest to use onStop() so save to SharedPreferences the activity status and message, and onResume() to read it back. In onDestroy() you should clear the preferences to ensure a new clean cycle start.
share|improve this answer
I ran into same problem, I DO NOT know if its the way or its right to do so, but i just changed the Intent Extra when needed.
intent.putExtra(SEARCH_EXTRA, false);
So your activity does not perform the operation, since it didn't receive what it wants.

The double escapement action was developed by Sébastien Erard in the 1800's and is now ubiquitous among grand pianos. (Chopin exploited this innovation to its maximum. A perfect example is seen in his 10/7 etude; notice the pattern of double notes in the lower voice of the treble clef).
Yes, that's the effect of the double escape mechanism.
Regarding Chopin however: he preferred to play on Pleyel pianos (as opposite to Liszt e.g.). Pleyel pianos did NOT have the double escapement action that time. That means, it is at least questionable that Chopin eploited this innovation.
However, the Pleyel pianos did have a short keyway, and had a very light action in conjunction with light hammers. Maybe fast repetitions were possible too without that mechanism.
So Chopin e.g. preferred to use the same finger for key repetitions (in opposite to the useage of different fingers, e.g. 4-3-2-4-3-2 and so on), I think that was stated somewhere in the Eigeldinger book "Chopin as seen by his pupils".

Get Local Admins and Last Reboot Time on MacOS Devices Using Custom Attributes _URL_ _URL_ Mon, 11 Dec 2023 15:46:47 +0000 _URL_ Read more]]> You can create custom attribute profiles which enable you to collect custom properties from managed macOS device using shell scripts.
Introduction to Custom Attributes
If you are managing MacOS Devices in Intune you can use custom attributes to really get into the nitty-gritty of device management. Custom Attributes are basically outputs of shell scripts and can help to scoop up all kinds of specific info about the devices. This is super useful because it gives you a much clearer picture and more control over all the macOS devices in your organization. These scripts are pretty flexible and they can dig up a lot of detailed data, which is awesome for keeping track of and handling a bunch of different devices effectively.
Configure Custom Attributes
Custom Attrbites are basically the outputs of your shell script. In the next chapter we will focus on two examples how a Shell Script can look like that will output the information we want.
To start with Custom Attributes go to the Custom Attributes menu in the Intune Portal.
You can click on the above link or get there by following this steps:
 1. Intune Portal
 2. Devices
 3. MacOS
 4. Custom Attributes
Here you can add a new Custom Attribute by clicking on the +Add button.
After clicking on the Add button you can give it a Name and a Description. In my case it looks like this:
Click on "Next". Now we can upload the script and set the Data type to "String". (You may have to select another Type depending on the script output)
Assign it to a Group of MacOS Devices or Users and its done.
You can check the results after clicking on any of the created Custom Attributes:
Lets now check both use cases.
Use Cases
There are multiple use cases for Custom Attributes in Intune for MacOS. I have picked two of them to demonstrate Custom Attributes.
List all Local Admins
Today, without Platform SSO, many enterprises that have MacOS Devices have atleast one local admin (accessible to the user) on the managed MacOS Devices. Intune does not provide a list of local administrators so lets create a shell script that will do this for us:
#!/bin/bash
# Script to list all local admin users
echo "Listing all local admin users:"
dscl . -read /Groups/admin GroupMembership
Download from GitHub
The output of the script is in the Result column. Example:
Get Last Reboot Time
Use this script to get the last reboot time of your MacOS Devices.
#!/bin/bash
# Script to get the last reboot time formatted
# Extracting the timestamp from the sysctl command
timestamp=$(sysctl kern.boottime | awk '{print $5}' | tr -d ',')
# Converting the timestamp to a formatted date
formatted_date=$(date -r $timestamp "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
echo "Last Reboot Time: $formatted_date"
Download from GitHub
The output of the script is in the Result column. Example:
Microsoft has also released a few Scripts for Custom Attributes here: GitHub
Microsoft Docs about Custom Attributes: Microsoft Learn
Conclusion
In conclusion, leveraging custom attributes in Intune for MacOS devices, like listing local admins and tracking last reboot times, is a powerful and efficient way to enhance device management. These shell script-based attributes provide a clear and detailed view of device statuses, significantly improving the management and security of MacOS devices in any organization.

Rename Linux and MacOS devices in Intune _URL_ _URL_ Thu, 16 Nov 2023 18:04:39 +0000 _URL_ Read more]]> A consistent naming convention is important for efficient management within an IT environment, as it significantly helps us in the organization and clarity of device identification. This approach allows for the straightforward recognition of various aspects of a device, including its type, whether it is personally owned or a corporate asset, and its associated location or department. This kind of clear setup is really key to making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
Furthermore, in the context of large organizations, where the volume of devices can be considerable, a consistent naming convention simplifies the overall management of these devices. It facilitates quick identification, making it much easier to group devices for essential tasks such as applying updates, implementing policies, or conducting troubleshooting. This streamlined approach to device management not only saves time but also enhances the effectiveness of the IT.
I have created two scripts that will help to rename linux and macOS devices that are managed by Intune. We will deploy them both and also log the process in a seperate hostname.log file. In example I took the approach to rename the devices to "LT-%SERIAL" where LT stands for Laptop and SERIAL is the serialnumber but only to a maximum of 8 digits as the character limitations of device names in Intune is only 15 characters (max length). You can change the variables in the script and rename them to something else e.g. location or department.
Renaming Linux Devices in Intune
The script:
#!/bin/bash
# Define the log file location
LOG_FILE="/var/log/hostname.log"
# Check if the dmidecode command is available
if ! command -v dmidecode &> /dev/null
then
 echo "$(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") - dmidecode command not found, cannot retrieve serial number" | sudo tee -a "

This paper proposes a new analytical framework with which to analyze the determinants of global CO2 emissions. It contributes to the existing literature by examining the determinants of CO2 emissions using a flexible functional form (transcendental logarithmic model), taking into account the presence of dynamic effects and allowing for heterogeneity in the sample of countries. The sample covers 121 countries and the period analyzed extends from 1975 through 2003. Two main results emerge. First, a static specification is rejected against a dynamic model. Second, the data also reject a general specification for all countries; hence slopeheterogeneity in the estimated coefficients has to be modeled. Conversely, the STIRPAT model is generally accepted for high-income countries, whereas for developing countries several interaction terms also play a role in explaining CO2 emissions.

The uncertainty in the half life of uranium-238 is stated at 0.05% [1]. The same paper gives the date 251.941 myr ± 31 kyr. 251.941 $\times$ 0.05% = 125 kyr.
How are the authors justified in claiming an accuracy of ± 31 kyr when the uncertainty in the half life alone is ± 125 kyr? On top of that, they list two other kinds of analytical uncertainties, which would only increase the overall uncertainty.
[1] Burgess, S. et al, "High-precision timeline for Earth's most severe extinction", Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, Volume 111, 2014. _URL_
I can't be entirely sure but I'll make an informed guess:
That value doesn't come for a single measurement. Therefore, if the error in the age of a single sample is $\pm125$ kyr, you just need to average 16 samples to get it down to $\pm31$ kyr.
The uncertainty in the addition (or substraction) of two or more quantities is equal to the square root of the addition of the squares of the uncertainties of each quantity (assuming they arise from random errors). For example, if we have quantity A with uncertainty $\sigma_a$ and quantity B with uncertainty $\sigma_b$, the error in the quantity $C=A+B$ would be:
And if we call M to the average between A and B. The uncertainty in the average is
So if we average 16 samples with $\sigma=125$ kyr, the uncertainty in the average would be
$\sigma_m=\frac{\sqrt{16 \sigma^2}}{16}=\frac{\sqrt{16 \times 125^2}}{16}=31$ kyr
Uncertainty propagation can be seen in the abstract of the article you refer to:
Where the ±48 ka comes from?
This treatment of uncertainties assumes that uncertainties are independent of each other. As _USER_ pointed in the comments, this won't be the case if the uncertainty comes from "the length of your measuring stick (the half-life of U-238)".
This is: if you measure something with a "yard-stick" that have the wrong size, you can't reduce the resulting error by just averaging many measurements.
I don't know enough of geochronology to understand all the different errors they report. But the simple example in the abstract cite I presented above shows that they are indeed treating those errors as independent. Otherwise the reported interval error (±48 ka) would not make sense.
If one significant source of error is indeed the uncertainty in the half-life of $^{238}$U. However, it would be wrong to treat these errors as independent only if there exists an exact value for this half-life. Alternatively, maybe there is no exact value of the half-life, and what they meant is that the half-life value can truly vary a 0.05%. This is something to look into if you want to figure out if the treatment of errors they do is correct. However, after a quick google search I found that radioactive half-life can indeed vary by a small fraction due to environmental conditions, this article explains pretty well the phenomena. Here a short excerpt:
...radioactive half-life of an atom can depend on how it is bonded to other atoms. Simply by changing the neighboring atoms that are bonded to a radioactive isotope, we can change its half-life. However, the change in half-life accomplished in this way is typically small. For instance, a study performed by B. Wang et al and published in the European Physical Journal A was able to measure that the electron capture half-life of beryllium-7 was made 0.9% longer by surrounding the beryllium atoms with palladium atoms.
If the 0.05% uncertainty on the half-life of $^{238}$U comes from random environmental factors, it would indeed be acceptable to consider them as an independent source of error for each sample.

 $\begingroup$ As far as I know, this only applies if the uncertainties are independent. If the uncertainty is in the length of your measuring stick (the half-life of U-238), the uncertainties are correlated and you can't reduce them by making more measurements. $\endgroup$ – Mark Mar 2 '19 at 20:48
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ You are right. I've added something to my answer. Have a look. $\endgroup$ – Camilo Rada Mar 2 '19 at 21:47
 - $\begingroup$ _USER_ I just added something about the natural variation of radioactive decay half-life. I think that explain that they treat the errors as independent. $\endgroup$ – Camilo Rada Mar 2 '19 at 22:05
 - $\begingroup$ The page you link to lists three potential mechanisms for changing the decay rate (and thus the half-life) of radioactive elements: time dilation, electron density change and bombardment with high-energy radiation. The first doesn't apply on Earth (well, technically it does, but the time dilation due to Earth's gravity is vanishingly small), the second only affects elements that decay via electron capture (Uranium doesn't),... $\endgroup$ – Ilmari Karonen Mar 2 '19 at 22:24

 $\begingroup$ _USER_ Yes, but the OP doesn't seem to be content with just "a good approximation" as the whole question revolve around a 0.05% change in $^{238}$U half-life, a pretty tiny change. $\endgroup$ – Camilo Rada Mar 2 '19 at 22:29

This template shows how simple it is to use latest technologies to build a nice modern reactive web application comprising of a Client-side JavaScript App built using EmberJS and WebSockets with WebGL ThreeJS, served from the Play 2 Framework written in Scala which works high velocity data from different sources using Play Iteratees and Akka. One of the main goals of this template is to show how such non-trivial application can be written very quickly, elegantly, readably and scalably with just a few lines of code using the Typesafe technologies and to describe and discuss the concepts, technologies, various alternatives that are provided to programmer to meet the goals, provide resources for further education and to help even beginners to start with or improve in using these technologies.
In the beginning it doesn't look very interesting. But we will get there.
Reactive applications are aiming to resolve the latest needs in software development. Even web is quickly moving towards the features of the Reactive Manifesto. The ability to react quickly to user's interaction is becoming more and more important. This activator template illustrates how a real time communication can be simply, reliably and scalably built on the Typesafe platform. The template uses Play 2.3 and utilizes Iteratees as an useful abstraction to handle continuous streams of data in form of real time bidirectional websocket communication as well as Akka Actor web socket interface. Other technologies used are Scala, Play, Akka and Scalaz for server backend and Ember.js, HTML5 device orientation API, Bootstrap and Three.js for front end and visualisation as well as some other smaller tools that will be mentioned in the documentation.
Main functionality of the Play server is to act as a router for web socket messages. It accepts connections on two different web sockets. The first web socket receives messages with data about spatial orientation from an arbitrary number of mobile devices. Web sockets in combination with orientation data serve as a good descriptive source of data with reasonably high volume and velocity so we can show how these can be handled using the Typesafe platform. The server applies transformation function to each message and merges streams of messages from all devices into a single stream which is in turn sent to the other websocket where the data for each individual device are clearly displayed in real time. This is illustrated on the figure below.
Go to Run tab in Activator and start the application and then visit http://localhost:9000. Another option is to start the application from linux terminal using activator run command for Play 2.3. After the application startup, you will be presented by the Dashboard page and IP address of the machine in network. This is because you will need to connect to the Play server from other devices. In real life the application would be deployed in the internet so you would just need to enter the url. This case however requires you to enter the local network address, including port (default 9000) to your mobile device's browser - for example When the page is loaded, select Device tab and click the Start button. If the device supports orientation sensor, it should start sending data to the server. The Dashboard page will show real time information including visualisation of the device's orientation. Each device connected will be presented individually. After certain time of inactivity the device is removed from the Dashboard. Note the visualisation may not be exactly correct, because the alpha represents the angle to north so you may need to adjust your screen with Dashboard manually.
System overview - Server
Play controller
The main work of the application happens in Application.scala. This object is the only Play Controller in the whole application. It has three methods. The index method attempts to retrieve network interfaces to be able to present the IP address and then presents index.scala.html view. The most elegant way is to use play actor sockets (introduced in Play 2.3) for connections from mobile devices and Iteratees/Enumerator for dashboard sockets. You can read about both options in Play scala web sockets. The controller has one instance of Enumerator and one instance of Channel. Messages pushed to the Channel will be received by web sockets using the Enumerator. This is important to understand, because these will be shared by actors that will push messages to the Channel and device websockets who will use the Enumerator.
val (dataEnumerator, dataChannel) = Concurrent.broadcast[JsValue]
Method mobileWebSocket is triggered when a new web socket connection is started from the mobile device. When using actor sockets, Play automatically creates one actor for each connection on the web socket. This is a very convenient way to scale - because actors can run in parallel and have nicely distributed responsibility - having as much actors as devices won't create a performance bottleneck or a single point of failure.
 def mobileWebSocket = WebSocket.acceptWithActor[OrientationChangeEvent, JsValue] { request => out =>
 Props(new StreamMergingActor(dataChannel))
Play automatically sends a message to the specified actor when a message on the web socket interface is received. The type of the message is specified by the first type parameter of acceptWithActor function.
It would be possible to achieve the same using Iteratees and Enumerators approach. The code would then look for example like this.
 def mobileWebSocket = WebSocket.using[OrientationChangeEvent] { request =>
 val in = Iteratee.foreach[OrientationChangeEvent] { mergingActorRouter! _ }
 val out = Enumerator.empty[OrientationChangeEvent]
 (in, out)
In this case, we would however need to take care of the number of actors manually. One solution would be for example to create a Router that distributes incomming messages according to predefined logic. One option to create a router would be to add one actor to the routees with each connection or create a router with a fixed number of actors equal to number of cpu cores available on the machine.
 lazy val mergingActorRouter = Akka.system.actorOf(
 .props(Props(new StreamMergingActor(dataChannel))))
Method dashboardWebSocket manages web socket connections from dashboard page using Iteratee and Enumerator. Iteratee is a representation of incomming message stream and Enumerator of the outgoing. The code handling web sockets from dashboard using Iteratees and Enumerators may look like this.
 def dashboardWebSocket = WebSocket.using[JsValue] { request =>
 (Iteratee.ignore, dataEnumerator)
This solution is very elegant and minimal, because we again use Play to do the hard work. We just use the same channel for each incomming websocket connection. When a message is received from mobile device, the actor that is responsible for handling the message will simply push it to this channel and because it is shared by all Dashboard web sockets, they will automatically all receive the message. In addition, this abstraction very nicely illustrates the intended functionality - messages from multiple devices are merged into one stream! Notice also the Iteratee is ignored (because we are not expecting any messages from the dashboard apart from initial web socket connection). Again this is not the only option and it would be possible implement the same logic using Actor web sockets, but we would have to manually handle the fact that the response is not going to the same socket as the received message.
To summarize the above solution - one actor is created for each Device connection. All these actors push messages the same shared output channel which in turn is also shared by all Dashboard connections.
Scala's ecosystem offers a variety of options to handle this use case. One notable alternative to Play would be for example Spray.
Akka actor
The application only uses one user defined actor located in StreamMergingActor.scala. StreamMergingActor's role is to merge incomming streams from devices and send the resulting stream to dashboards using the share channel. Companion object StreamMergingActor defines messages which the actor understands. OrientationChangeEvent and OrientationChangeData represent one single message received from the mobile device. Each message contains deviceId, information about the device, assigned colour and three values - alpha, beta and gamma - which represent the orientation data and will be explained later. Most important fact is,


)=y^2z^3+h(x,z)\).) Therefore,
 \[f(x,y,z)=x^2y+g(y,z)=x^2y+y^2z^3+h(z). \nonumber\]
 To find \(f\), we now must only find \(h\). Since \(f\) is a potential function,
 \[3y^2z^2+2z=g_z(y,z)=3y^2z^2+h′(z). \nonumber\]
 This implies that \(h′(z)=2z\), so \(h(z)=z^2+C\). Letting \(C=0\) gives the potential function
 \[f(x,y,z)=x^2y+y^2z^3+z^2. \nonumber\]
 To verify that \(f\) is a potential function, note that \(\vecs \nabla f(x,y,z)=⟨2xy,x^2+2yz^3,3y^2z^2+2z⟩=\vecs F(x,y,z)\).
 Exercise \(\PageIndex{6}\)
 Find a potential function for \(\vecs{F}(x,y,z)=⟨12x^2,\cos y\cos z,1−\sin y\sin z⟩\).
 Hint
 Following Example \(\PageIndex{6}\), begin by integrating with respect to \(x\).
 Answer
 \(f(x,y,z)=4x^3+\sin y\cos z+z\)
 We can apply the process of finding a potential function to a gravitational force. Recall that, if an object has unit mass and is located at the origin, then the gravitational force in \(ℝ^2\) that the object exerts on another object of unit mass at the point \((x,y)\) is given by vector field
 \(\vecs F(x,y)=−G\left\langle\dfrac{x}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} },\dfrac{y}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }\right\rangle\),
 where \(G\) is the universal gravitational constant. In the next example, we build a potential function for \(\vecs{F}\), thus confirming what we already know: that gravity is conservative.
 Example \(\PageIndex{7}\): Finding a Potential Function
 Find a potential function \(f\) for \(\vecs{F}(x,y)=−G\left\langle\dfrac{x}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} },\dfrac{y}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }\right\rangle\).
 Solution
 Suppose that \(f\) is a potential function. Then, \(\vecs \nabla f= \vecs{F}\) and therefore
 \[f_x(x,y)=\dfrac{−Gx}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }.\nonumber\]
 To integrate this function with respect to \(x\), we can use \(u\)-substitution. If \(u=x^2+y^2\), then \(\dfrac{du}{2}=x\,dx\), so
 \[\begin{align*} \int \dfrac{−Gx}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }\,dx &=\int \dfrac{−G}{2u^{3/2}} \,du \\[4pt] &=\dfrac{G}{\sqrt{u}}+h(y) \\[4pt] &=\dfrac{G}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}+h(y) \end{align*}\]
 for some function \(h(y)\). Therefore,
 \[f(x,y)=\dfrac{G}{ \sqrt{x^2+y^2}}+h(y).\nonumber\]
 Since \(f\) is a potential function for \(\vecs{F}\),
 \[f_y(x,y)=\dfrac{−Gy}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }\nonumber\].
 Since \(f(x,y)=\dfrac{G}{ \sqrt{x^2+y^2}}+h(y)\), \(f_y(x,y)\) also equals \(\dfrac{−Gy}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }+h′(y)\).
 Therefore,
 \[\dfrac{−Gy}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }+h′(y)=\dfrac{−Gy}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }, \nonumber\]
 which implies that \(h′(y)=0\). Thus, we can take \(h(y)\) to be any constant; in particular, we can let \(h(y)=0\). The function
 \[f(x,y)=\dfrac{G}{ \sqrt{x^2+y^2} } \nonumber\]
 is a potential function for the gravitational field \(\vecs{F}\). To confirm that \(f\) is a potential function, note that
 \[\begin{align*} \vecs\nabla f(x,y) &=⟨−\dfrac{1}{2} \dfrac{G}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} } (2x),−\dfrac{1}{2} \dfrac{G}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }(2y)⟩ \\[4pt] &=⟨\dfrac{−Gx}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} },\dfrac{−Gy}{ {(x^2+y^2)}^{3/2} }⟩\\[4pt] &=\vecs F(x,y). \end{align*}\]
 Exercise \(\PageIndex{7}\)
 Find a potential function \(f\) for the three-dimensional gravitational force \(\vecs{F}(x,y,z)=\left\langle\dfrac{−Gx}{ {(x^2+y^2+z^2)}^{3/2} },\dfrac{−Gy}{ {(x^2+y^2+z^2)}^{3/2} },\dfrac{−Gz}{ {(x^2+y^2+z^2)}^{3/2} }\right\rangle\).
 Hint
 Follow the Problem-Solving Strategy.
 Answer
 \(f(x,y,z)=\dfrac{G}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}}\)
 Testing a Vector Field
 Until now, we have worked with vector fields that we know are conservative, but if we are not told that a vector field is conservative, we need to be able to test whether it is conservative. Recall that, if \(\vecs{F}\) is conservative, then \(\vecs{F}\) has the cross-partial property (see The Cross-Partial Property of Conservative Vector Fields). That is, if \(\vecs F=⟨P,Q,R⟩\) is conservative, then \(P_y=Q_x\), \(P_z=R_x\), and \(Q_z=R_y\). So, if \(\vecs{F}\) has the cross-partial property, then is \(\vecs{F}\) conservative? If the domain of \(\vecs{F}\) is open and simply connected, then the answer is


I notice that when downloading a footprint from Ultra-Librarian that it often includes a set of 3. When downloading the models for the ITS414N for example it includes three slightly different footprints: Sot223, Sot223-M, Sot223-L.
Are these footprints meant for different layers or are they alternatives based on the needs of the designer? If so, why should one footprint be chosen over the other?
enter image description here
Notice how the pads on each are different. These usually follow the different recomendations (usually from IPC) for high density, low density, etc.
Low density has bigger pads which will give you better thermal and electrical connections and can be stronger.
Depending on the soldering process (hand soldering, flow, oven) you might also want different pad sizes.

Verilog
One interesting step is to be able to convert a code into verilog, in order to compile it. Althought Migen has it's compiling system included and one does not need to go through verilog in order to do it, we will simply see an example here.
The syntax to convert an instance into verilog is:
print(verilog.convert(instance, {ios...}))
in our example, we have:
verilog_ex.py
from migen import *
from migen.fhdl import verilog

class sevenseg_ctrl(Module):
 def __init__(self):
 self.abcdefg = abcdefg = Signal(7)
 self.hexa = hexa = Signal(4)
 table = [
 0x3f, 0x06, 0x5b, 0x4f,
 0x66, 0x6d, 0x7d, 0x07,
 0x7f, 0x6f, 0x77, 0x7c,
 0x39, 0x5e, 0x79, 0x71
 ]

 cases = {}
 for i in range(16):
 cases[i] = abcdefg.eq(table[i])

 self.comb += Case(hexa, cases)

example = sevenseg_ctrl()
print(verilog.convert(example, {example.hexa, example.abcdefg}))
Verilog output
python3 verilog_ex.py
The output is as follow:
/* Machine-generated using Migen */
module top(
 output reg [6:0] abcdefg,
 input [3:0] hexa

Take the 2-minute tour ×
Let $G$ be any countable discrete group, and $H_1, H_2$ be two subgroups of $G$ with some fixed finite index $m>1$.
My question is:
Is it always possible to find some automorphism $\phi$ of $G$, i.e., $\phi\in Aut(G)$, such that $\phi(H_1)=H_2$?
If not, could any one give some counterexample to illustrate this? Thanks in advance!

Nope: let $G=C_4\times V_4\times\mathbb Z$, where $C_4$ is the cyclic group of order $4$ and $V_4$ is the Klein $4$-group. Let $H_1=C_4\times\{e\}\times\mathbb Z$ and $H_2=\{e\}\times V_4\times\mathbb Z$. Both subgroups have index $4$, but they aren't isomorphic.
share|improve this answer
So we can take two non-isomorphic finite groups $G_1, G_2$, of the same order $n$S and a take an infinite group $H$, and consider $G=H\times G_1\times G_2$. Then $H_1=G\times G_1, H_2=G\times G_2$ may work generalizing your idea. – P Vanchinathan Mar 21 at 1:15
_USER_ It depends. Using your notation, if $H$ is a direct sum of countably many copies of $G_1\times G_2$, then $G_1\times H$ is isomorphic to $G_2\times H$ after all. In my example, there is no such accidental isomorphism, since $C_4\times\{e\}\times\mathbb Z$ has an element of order $4$, and $\{e\}\times V_4\times\mathbb Z$ doesn't. – Chris Culter Mar 21 at 1:25
The dihedral group of order 8 has a subgroup isomorphic to the cyclic group of order 4, and has a subroup isomorphic to the Klein group. Both subgroups have index 2 but are non-isomorphic since the first has an element of order 4 but the second does not. No smaller order group G can be found as a counterexample since a nontrivial subgroup of such a G would have order 2 or order 3.
share|improve this answer
Dihedral group G of order 8 also has two subgroups of order 2 with no automorphism of G taking one to the other (take one central, and one not). – Jack Schmidt Mar 21 at 1:57
Take $m\mathbf{Z}, n\mathbf{Z}\subset \mathbf{Z}$. As isomorphisms have to send generator to generator we get conflicting requirement $\phi(1)=\pm1, \phi(m)= \pm n $. So your question has a negative answer.

They don't have the same index though – Bruno Joyal Mar 21 at 1:05

Press Release - Peoples Liberation Front Enters The Hackers Space Race
Sunday - February 19, 2012 11:30 PM CT
Today the PLF announces the launch of "Operation Freedom Star". The mission of this Op is simple. The Peoples Liberation Front is entering the Hacker Space Race that was initiated with the announcement by the Chaos Computer Club that they intended to launch three communications satellites of their own to help circumvent internet censorship. The PLF states that we are in this race to win, and that WE firmly intend to be the first hackers in space.
Our plan for this involves the purchase of one of the many used communications satellites that are in orbit already, and are beyond their commercial usefulness. Many of these birds are low on fuel and have other issues related to their age, but are otherwise serviceable and useful for the purpose we intend - which is to provide broadband satellite communications to areas of the world that are in great need. We are currently looking at several possibilities, and whichever bird we chose - it will be called the "Freedom Star". The purpose of the Freedom Star Satellite will be to provide broadband internet connections using commercially available downlink hardware.
Once we have our first bird working, we will shift our focus to building our first custom bird from scratch. We will use the Amsat program to design and launch our own bird, and also study the open source communications satellites already launched as part of this incredible program for possible uses in circumventing censorship, internet shutdowns - and providing other services to freedom movements around the world.
To coordinate this massive effort, we hereby create the PLF Space Command - which will be staffed for the purpose of managing all the space related efforts of the Peoples Liberation Front. The attached Op Poster for Operation Freedom Star contains the new logo for the PLF Space Command. And finally, if you support this effort, we have set up a sand-boxed WePay fund to collect online donations of much needed cash which will be used specifically for this project. The budget just for the first year of this effort is in excess of 1 million USD, so please give generously if you support the idea.

A wig is generally used for various reasons, including
The theatrical wigs prove to be useful for both the performer and the makeup artists. Most makeup artists suggest wigs for the theatre artists as this saves them a lot of time in setting up the hair. For the artists it saves them from the worry of using loads of hair gels and sprays to set the hair every time they perform. The wigs give the artists a chance to be in the character totally and not worry about their hairstyle. They just need to be sure that that their wig is properly affixed.
The art of making theatrical wigs is picking up fast and most hair stylists are taking this as a serious profession. If you also wish to try your hands at theatrical wigs making just follow these simple steps:
1. The actor's head is to be measured accurately, by fixing his/her natural hair against the head. Adhesive tape and plastic wrap is generally used by the makeup artists and hair stylists to measure the natural hairline.
2. Thereafter, a 'block', matching the measurements of the actor's head, is made, which is basically a stuffed shape of wood or cork. Then it is important to nail the ribbons perfectly near the measurements mark.
3. The lace is then wet and shaped over the block of wig. It is best to sew the lace to the ribbons.
4. Sometimes, the designers even use skin color material (usually silk or synthetic) as base for the wigs. This further adds on to the natural effect and it appears that the hair is actually coming out from the scalp.
5. Human or animal hair of desired quality is then selected and carefully sorted out to ensure a correct arrangement of all hair from root to root.
6. The construction of the wig starts from the neck. To make a perfect loop the washed and clean hair are folded at the root. For the safety double-knot the hair securely. Continue fastening hair from the back to the front securely.
7. The artists sometimes even use chemicals on the wig hair to bleach or dye them to achieve the desired color of hair.
8. The wig is then, stylized and customized to suit the actor's head and finally fitted on to it.
The level of technicalities involved in making wigs is often compared to those involved in rug-making. One has to ensure proper amount of hair ventilation and setting of artificial hair. This makes it a respectable and very responsible job profile. With a little creativity and precision you are sure to excel in this highly paid profession. There are many online stores that cater to the needs of theatrical wigs worldwide.

The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred racing, consisting of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes, did not take shape as a recognizable series of races until 1930. It was then that Daily Racing Form writer Charles Hatton coined the phrase "Triple Crown" in describing Gallant Fox's victories in those three races.
The Kentucky Derby is a 1 1/4 mile thoroughbred horse race for 3-year-olds run on the first Saturday of May each year at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky along with the Kentucky Oaks since 1875. It is the first race of the Triple Crown followed two Saturdays later by the Preakness Stakes and three weeks later, the Belmont Stakes.
The Preakness Stakes is a classic 1 3/16 mile race for 3-year-olds, held on the third Saturday in May of each year at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. The Preakness is the second and shortest leg in thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown, and almost always attracts the Kentucky Derby winner, some of the other horses that ran in the Derby, and often a few new shooters. The Preakness is famous for its house horse, a local Maryland bred and run horse that skips the Derby. Two years before the Kentucky Derby was run for the first time, Pimlico introduced the Preakness during its first-ever spring race meet in 1873. Governor Bowie had named the mile and one-half race in honor of Dinner Party Stakes winner, Preakness.
The Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the Triple Crown, held five weeks after the Kentucky Derby, at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, is a 1-1/2 mile race for 3-year-olds. Because of its length, and because it is the last part of the Triple Crown, it is sometimes called the Test of Champions. Most 3-year-olds are unaccustomed to the distance and lack the ability to maintain a winning speed for so long. The Belmont Stakes was named after financier and sportsman August Belmont, Sr. The race was first run in 1867 and it has been run at Belmont Park since 1905. The first post parade in the United States was at the 14th Belmont in 1880. The race distance has varied: from 1867 until 1873, it was 1 5/8 miles. In 1874 the distance was reduced to 1-1/2 miles, and from 1890 to 1892, and in 1895, the distance was 1 1/4 miles. From 1896 until 1925, the distance was increased to the original 1 5/8 miles. In 1926, the race distance was set at the present 1-1/2 miles
11 horses have won all three races and making them Triple Crown champions. Eleven horses have won the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. 18 horses have won the Preakness and the Belmont, but 7 of those horses did not start in the Kentucky Derby during the pre-Triple Crown era. Of the 32 horses who won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, 2 of them did not run in the Belmont Stakes. Here are their stories.

When approaching the topic of The West Australian and Federation the guiding question was: 'Did The West Australian change character when Western Australia voted to be come part of the Commonwealth of Australia?' The word 'character' was selected deliberately, because it is used in two ways. On one hand it is employed to find out where The West Australian placed its emotional ties, and on the other it is used to look at the paper's organizational aspects, and see whether and when shifts occurred.
