ing stiffness is selected based on the answers to the questions. The age of the player is not in this system but should play a role also. Young kids should play with a more comfortable string bed, comfort string at lower string bed stiffness, to prevent injuries and so that they learn to use the power out of the string bed. Lower the calculated stiffness by one stiffness class (3 kg/cm) for children under 16. Keep in mind that today's pros play at relative low stiffnesses (Federer at 34 kg/cm) so that they can use the power of the string bed to lift the speed of their game.
Figure 8
The right side of the route map shows the string bed stiffness and the stringing tension for each category of player. The relation between the string bed stiffness and the stringing tension will be explained in a later chapter of this series.
In the next chapter of this series we will deal with string bed stiffness.

Georgia Tech inventors are developing different switch-contact geometries and using finite element analysis to compare the contact geometries with respect to the maximum electric field, mass, and contact resistance. Comparative analysis of different contact geometries (elliptical, Bruce, and Rogowski) have shown advantages over the conventional spherical contacts.
The proposed geometries of Rogowski, Bruce, and elliptical contacts show a reduced field enhancement in the sub-millimeter separation range, which is important for applications with limited contact travel such as piezoelectrically actuated disconnect switches. These contact profiles also have a significantly reduced height compared to spherical contacts, which results in a reduction of bulk contact resistance and mass. These optimized contact geometries are expected to substantially improve the performance of high speed disconnect switches. Long term performance of the proposed contact geometries needs to be investigated.
- Faster operation
- Enabling of fault current limitation
- Reduction in risk of damaging electrical equipment
- Circuit breakers
- Disconnect switches
- Vacuum Interrupters
- Grounding switches
- Transfer switches
Fast mechanical disconnect switches are an integral part of hybrid circuit breakers, which protect devices to clear faults in medium voltage distribution systems. Compared to their conventional counterparts, hybrid circuit breakers can have the ability to limit the fault current, which can allow more interconnections between substations with advantages for grid reliability and resiliency. The proposed design of an ultra-fast mechanical disconnect switch operates in vacuum, carries continuous current similar to conventional vacuum interrupters, opens at current zero, features minimum moving mass, and has an open contact separation of less than a millimeter. The limited separation distance requires an optimized contact geometry to keep the electric field within safe limits, minimize the moving mass, and reduce contact resistance.

Pricing the default and prepayment risks of mortgages: An option pricing theoretic approach and an empirical hazard rate analysis

This study proposes a theoretic interpolation-based lattice model to price the prepayment and default option values of a fixed-rate mortgage, and uses a hazard model to empirically investigate the prepayment and default behavior of FHA insured multifamily loans.
A "pure" option-pricing model is used to price the value of prepayment and default options. Prepayment is treated as an American call option and default as a put option. An interpolation-based lattice model is used to solve backward the prepayment and default option values. Unlike the traditional lattice methods, in which the total number of nodes grows geometrically with time steps when stochastic volatility is present, the number of nodes in this model grows linearly with each variable dimension. The common problem of "non-recombination" is handled through interpolation. This approach can easily accommodate early exercise of option, which is one of the important features of mortgage termination. Another advantage of this approach is that it does not require transformation of the original processes. Therefore, alternative underlying processes can be easily adapted to this model. Finally, numerical results are presented and compared with the results of another lattice approach to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the model.
Research under the empirical investigation is to examine the prepayment and default behavior of FHA insured multifamily mortgages. In most literature, analyses of prepayment and default are conducted separately. However, default and prepayment are clearly not statistically independent, and may actually be related. Given the competing nature of prepayment and default risks, a competing risk hazard model is employed to estimate the conditional prepayment and claim rates for multifamily mortgages simultaneously. Furthermore, the risk preferences and idiosyncrasies across borrowers vary widely. This study presents a competing risk hazard model that accounts for the unobserved heterogeneity among borrowers and estimates the unobserved heterogeneity simultaneously with the parameters of the prepayment and default functions. Finally, the study compares and tests the practical importance of incorporating the competing risk feature and the unobserved heterogeneity in the estimation. The data set used in this study includes one of the largest FHA insured multifamily mortgages: the market rate 221d(4) New Constructions and Substantial Rehabilitation program (OMI). The data set includes information on OMI loans originating from 1965 to 1995. Maximum likelihood estimation is used to estimate the hazard model.

Removing 80% of traffic lights could boost economy and road safety, says think-tank
That's according to new research by the Institute of Economic Affairs, which says that a "huge proliferation in traffic regulations over the past 20 years has imposed a heavy burden on the economy".
The research finds that just a two-minute delay to every car journey equates to a loss of approximately £16bn every year, equivalent to almost 1% of GDP.
The research has also found that the number of traffic lights in England has increased by 25% since 2000. By comparison, vehicle traffic rose by 5%, and the length of the road network by just 1.3% in the same period.
Dr Richard Wellings, head of transport at the Institute of Economic Affairs, said: "For too long policymakers have failed to make a cost-benefit analysis of a range of regulations – including traffic lights, speed cameras and bus lanes – making life a misery from drivers nationwide. It's quite clear that traffic management has spread far beyond the locations where it might be justified, to the detriment of the economy, environment and road safety.
"The evidence of shared space schemes shows the transformational benefits of less regulated approach, whilst the removal of a high proportion of traffic lights would deliver substantial economic and social benefits."
RAC spokesman Simon Williams added: "The use of traffic lights should always involve careful consideration on a case-by-case basis. There are many situations where their use is vital, both for traffic flow and road safety so any indication that all traffic lights should be turned off would likely do far more harm than good. However, identifying lights that may adversely be affecting traffic flow for further 'switching off' trials would be worth exploring."

Fewer Containerships In The US Waters Reflects Trade Slowdown
The number of container vessels in the US coastal waters has dropped to less than half of the count of what was a year earlier, in the most recent ominous sign of slowing worldwide trade.
There were 106 container vessels off the coastline and in port around late Sunday, compared with 218 at this time last year, a 51% drop per vessel data analyzed by Bloomberg.
Data received from IHS Markit reflected that the weekly count of port calls in the US waters via March 4 had slowed to 1,105 from 1,906 registered the year before. That's the lowest level since mid-September back in 2020.
Poor weather could be partly to blame. Also, more broadly, a slowdown in worldwide consumer demands — driven by higher inflation and poorer economic growth — is translating into fewer vessels required to ship goods from top manufacturing hubs of Asia to Europe and the US.
Ships in the port of New Jersey/New York are currently experiencing an incoming winter storm, fell to three as of late Sunday, and compared with a two-year median of 10. There were 15 vessels in the West Coast shipping hubs of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which typically experiences a median of 25 vessels.
Meanwhile, the vessel capacity of idled containers in February was close to the highest level since August 2020, per maritime consultant Drewry.

DataTables Server-side Processing in CodeIgniter
In this tutorial, I will show you the easiest way to implement DataTables jQuery Plugin with remote server side processing in Codeigniter. Here I will show you how to fetch data from remote MySQL database through ajax in Codeigniter. For those who don't here about Datatables, DataTables is a table enhancing plug-in for the jQuery Javascript library that helps in adding sorting, paging and filtering abilities to plain HTML tables with minimal effort. The main goal is to enhance the accessibility of data in normal HTML tables.
Now before we start coding include Datatables CSS file and Javascript files from CDN in your view page as follows.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="_URL_

Note: Do not forget to pass CSRF Token along with ajax POST request as above if you turn on CSRF protection in CodeIgniter config file. Cross-Site Request Forgery protection is by default turned off in CodeIgniter. If you like to get maximum security in your application you can turn it on config.php file. If you enable CSRF protection don't forget to turn csrf_regenerate to false as it causes problems with back/forward navigation, multiple tabs/windows, asynchronous actions, etc.
Now before we start coding our controller we need to know that Datatable will post a lot of data to controller function during Ajax request. I found that function by using a plugin in firefox called Firebug. If you are a web developer and use ajax often then I extremely recommend Firebug.
For this tutorial, we need to look at only 6 post requests.
 1. length : Number of records that the table can display in the current draw. It is expected that the number of records returned will be equal to this number unless the server has fewer records to return.
 2. start : Paging first record indicator. This is the start point in the current data set (0 index based - i.e. 0 is the first record).
 3. order[0]column : Column to which ordering should be applied. This is an index reference to the columnsarray of information that is also submitted to the server.
 4. order[0]dir : Ordering direction for this column. It will be asc or desc to indicate ascending ordering or descending ordering, respectively.
 5. search[value] : The Global search value.
 6. draw : Draw counter. This is used by DataTables to ensure that the Ajax returns from server-side processing requests are drawn in sequence by DataTables (Ajax requests are asynchronous and thus can return out of sequence)
The Controller
The complete code for ajax posts function in the home controller is given below.
public function posts()
{
 $columns = array(
 0 =>'id',
 1 =>'title',
 2=> 'body',
 3=> 'created_at',
 4=> 'id',
 );
 $limit = $this->input->post('length');
 $start = $this->input->post('start');
 $order = $columns[$this->input->post('order')[0]['column']];
 $dir = $this->input->post('order')[0]['dir'];

 $totalData = $this->Homemodel->allposts_count();

 $totalFiltered = $totalData;

 if(empty($this->input->post('search')['value']))
 {
 $posts = $this->Homemodel->allposts($limit,$start,$order,$dir);
 }
 else {
 $search = $this->input->post('search')['value'];
 $posts = $this->Homemodel->posts_search($limit,$start,$search,$order,$dir);
 $totalFiltered = $this->Homemodel->posts_search_count($search);
 }
 $data = array();
 if(!empty($posts))
 {
 foreach ($posts as $post)
 {
 $nestedData['id'] = $post->id;
 $nestedData['title'] = $post->title;
 $nestedData['body'] = substr(strip_tags($post->body),0,50)."...";
 $nestedData['created_at'] = date('j M Y h:i a',strtotime($post->created_at));

 $data[] = $nestedData;
 }
 }

 $json_data = array(
 "draw" => intval($this->input->post('draw')),
 "recordsTotal" => intval($totalData),
 "recordsFiltered" => intval($totalFiltered),
 "data" => $data
 );

 echo json_encode($json_data);
}

The Model
The complete code for Homemodel is given below.
<?php
class Homemodel extends CI_Model
{
 function __construct() {
 parent::__construct();

 }
 function allposts_count()
 {
 $query = $this
 ->db
 ->get('posts');

 return $query->num_rows();
 }

 function allposts($limit,$start,$col,$dir)
 {
 $query = $this
 ->db
 ->limit($limit,$start)
 ->order_by($col,$dir)
 ->get('posts');

 if($query->num_rows()>0)
 {
 return $query->result();
 }
 else
 {
 return null;
 }

 }

 function posts_search($limit,$start,$search,$col,$dir)
 {
 $query = $this
 ->db
 ->like('id',$search)
 ->or_like('title',$search)
 ->limit($limit,$start)
 ->order_by($col,$dir)
 ->get('posts');

 if($query->num_rows()>0)
 {
 return $query->result();
 }
 else
 {
 return null;
 }
 }
 function posts_search_count($search)
 {
 $query = $this
 ->db
 ->like('id',$search)
 ->or_like('title',$search)
 ->get('posts');

 return $query->num_rows();
 }

}

Now let's see the output image.

Inverse fan-beam transform
I = ifanbeam(F,D)
I = ifanbeam(...,param1,val1,param2,val2,...)
[I,H] = ifanbeam(...)
I = ifanbeam(F,D) reconstructs the image I from projection data in the two-dimensional array F. Each column of F contains fan-beam projection data at one rotation angle. ifanbeam assumes that the center of rotation is the center point of the projections, which is defined as ceil(size(F,1)/2).
The fan-beam spread angles are assumed to be the same increments as the input rotation angles split equally on either side of zero. The input rotation angles are assumed to be stepped in equal increments to cover [0:359] degrees.
D is the distance from the fan-beam vertex to the center of rotation.
I = ifanbeam(...,param1,val1,param2,val2,...) specifies parameters that control various aspects of the ifanbeam reconstruction, described in the following table. Parameter names can be abbreviated, and case does not matter. Default values are in braces ({}).
String specifying the range through which the beams are rotated.
{'cycle'} — Rotate through the full range [0,360).
'minimal' — Rotate the minimum range necessary to represent the object.
Positive real scalar specifying the increment of the rotation angle of the fan-beam projections, measured in degrees. See fanbeam for details.
String specifying how sensors are positioned.
'arc' — Sensors are spaced equally along a circular arc at distance D from the center of rotation. Default value is 'arc'
'line' — Sensors are spaced equally along a line, the closest point of which is distance D from the center of rotation.
See fanbeam for details.
Positive real scalar specifying the spacing of the fan-beam sensors. Interpretation of the value depends on the setting of 'FanSensorGeometry'.
If 'FanSensorGeometry' is set to 'arc' (the default), the value defines the angular spacing in degrees. Default value is 1.
If 'FanSensorGeometry' is 'line', the value specifies the linear spacing. Default value is 1. See fanbeam for details.
String specifying the name of a filter. See iradon for details.
Scalar in the range (0,1] that modifies the filter by rescaling its frequency axis. See iradon for details.
Text string specifying the type of interpolation used between the parallel-beam and fan-beam data.
'nearest' — Nearest-neighbor
{'linear'} — Linear
'spline' — Piecewise cubic spline
'pchip' —- Piecewise cubic Hermite (PCHIP)
'v5cubic' — The cubic interpolation from MATLAB® 5
Positive scalar specifying the number of rows and columns in the reconstructed image.
If 'OutputSize' is not specified, ifanbeam determines the size automatically.
If you specify 'OutputSize', ifanbeam reconstructs a smaller or larger portion of the image, but does not change the scaling of the data.
 Note: If the projections were calculated with the fanbeam function, the reconstructed image might not be the same size as the original image.
[I,H] = ifanbeam(...) returns the frequency response of the filter in the vector H.
ifanbeam converts the fan-beam data to parallel beam projections and then uses the filtered back projection algorithm to perform the inverse Radon transform. The filter is designed directly in the frequency domain and then multiplied by the FFT of the projections. The projections are zero-padded to a power of 2 before filtering to prevent spatial domain aliasing and to speed up the FFT.
Class Support
The input arguments, F and D, can be double or single. All other numeric input arguments must be double. The output arguments are double.
Example 1
This example creates a fan-beam transformation of the phantom head image and then calls the ifanbeam function to recreate the phantom image from the fan-beam transformation.
ph = phantom(128);
d = 100;
F = fanbeam(ph,d);
I = ifanbeam(F,d);
imshow(ph), figure, imshow(I);
Example 2
This example illustrates use of the ifanbeam function with the 'fancoverage' option set to'minimal'.
ph = phantom(128);
P = radon(ph);
[F,obeta,otheta] = para2fan(P,100,...
phReconstructed = ifanbeam(F,100,...
imshow(ph), figure, imshow(phReconstructed)

Why does chocolate make you thirsty?
Chocolate makes us crave water!
Why is that?
Chocolate contains caffeine and phenylethylamine PEA.
Caffeine stimulates our nervous system while PEA causes us to feel happy.
When we eat chocolate, these chemicals stimulate our brain's reward center, making us want to drink water.
1 Caffeine and PEA cause us to crave water because they activate the same part of the brain that controls thirst.
This explains why chocolate makes us thirsty.
Why does chocolate make you thirsty?
Chocolate contains caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system. This leads to increased blood flow to the brain, which results in increased thirst. Chocolate also contains phenylethylamine PEA, which is a chemical released into the bloodstream during exercise. PEA acts as a stimulant, causing people to feel hungry and thirsty after eating chocolate.
What is osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a lower concentration. It occurs naturally in plants and animals, but can also occur artificially. Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a semipermeable membrane from a solution of greater solute concentration saltwater to a solution of lesser solute concentration fresh water. In nature, osmosis is used by plants to absorb water from the soil and release it into the atmosphere. For example, when a plant roots in the ground, it pulls water molecules from the soil and releases them into the air. This allows the plant to take in water from the atmosphere and release oxygen into the air.
Other FAQs about Chocolate which you may be interested in.
Chocolate is a type of confectionery made primarily from cocoa beans. Cocoa butter is extracted from the beans and mixed with sugar and other ingredients to form a paste called chocolate liquor. The liquor is then heated until it melts and becomes liquid. The resulting mixture is poured onto molds to cool and harden. After cooling, the hardened chocolate is broken into pieces and packaged.
How much time does it take for the chocolate to make you thirsty?
It takes between 5-10 minutes for the chocolate to start making you thirsty. It depends on how strong the chocolate is. Stronger chocolates tend to make people thirsty faster.
Other potential reasons for chocolate to make you thirsty
Chocolate contains caffeine, which is a stimulant. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system and causes the body to release adrenaline, which triggers thirst. Chocolate also contains theobromine, which is a mild diuretic. This causes the kidneys to excrete more urine, which leads to dehydration.
[su_youtube_advanced url = "_URL_ controls = "no" rel = "no" fs = "no" modestbranding = "yes"]
Does chocolate make you thirsty?
It is because of dehydration. Dehydration occurs when your body doesn't get enough fluids. This happens when you lose a lot of liquids from your body. It's important to stay hydrated throughout the day. Drink plenty of water, especially if you're exercising.
What does it mean when you are thirsty all the time?
Water, milk, coffee, tea, soda, alcohol, and juices are among the drinks that make us thirstier. Water is the best drink to quench our thirst. Milk is good for children and adults who are lactose intolerant. Coffee is great for people who are tired and need energy boost. Soda is very bad for health. Alcohol is not recommended for pregnant women. Juices are healthy and nutritious. But, we should avoid drinking fruit juice during summer season as it is very hot outside.
Does chocolate dehydrate you?
Yes, chocolate does dehydrate you. Chocolate contains caffeine, which stimulates your nervous system and raises your blood pressure. It also has phenylethylamine PEA, which acts as a stimulatory agent. PEA is found in the brain and other organs of the body. Chocolate contains theobromine which is similar to caffeine, but is weaker. Thebromine is used in medications because it helps relax muscle spasms. However, theobromaine is toxic if consumed in large quantities.
Why am I always thirsty no matter what?
Chocolate contains caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system and raises blood pressure. It also contains phenylethylamine PEA, which acts as a stimulant. PEA is found naturally in the brain and other parts of the body. Chocolate also contains theobromine, which is similar to caffeine but is weaker. Theobromine is used in many medications because it helps relax muscles. However, theobromine is toxic if taken in large amounts.
What foods make you more thirsty?
It means that your body needs more fluids. Your kidneys are working overtime to filter waste from your bloodstream and remove toxins. This process requires lots of energy. As a result, your body is not getting enough oxygen to function properly. To compensate for this problem, your body sends signals to your mouth to drink more liquids.
Does chocolate make you dehydrated?
Yes, chocolate does make you thirsty. Chocolate contains caffeine, which stimulates your body's thirst center. It also contains phenylethylamine PEA, which is a chemical compound found naturally in the brain. PEA is released during stress and excitement, and it helps increase blood flow to the brain. In addition, chocolate contains theobromine, which is a stimulant similar to caffeine. Theobromine also affects the release of adrenaline, which increases heart rate and blood pressure.
What foods cause you to be thirsty?
Foods that are rich in carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, cereals, and sweets, cause us to become dehydrated because these foods take a long time to digest. This leads to our bodies having to drink more fluids to process the food we eat. Foods that are low in carbohydrates, like lean meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, cause us to feel full and satisfied after eating. These foods are digested quickly, leaving us feeling fuller for longer.
Ultimately, eating more chocolate may leave you feeling more energetic, but overall you will not be more hydrated overall.

Do you need to convert a bundle of file from HTM to PDF and set PDF producer? Are you looking for a good document converter, which can help you convert multiple HTM to PDF in a quick and accurate way? Do you want to save your precious time? If so, you should click VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line to download and install VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line right away. Because with the help of VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line, you can only take three steps to batch convert HTM to PDF and batch set PDF producer. The following will show you how to solve your problem via command.
1. Run the command prompt window
2. Type a
Usually, when you only have one file to convert from HTM to PDF and to set PDF producer, theshould include the following four essential items in order: the directory of the executable file, the command which can be used to set PDF producer, the directory of the input file and the directory of the output file. However, if you have a lot of documents to convert from HTM to PDF and to set PDF producer, you may need to use the wildcard * to replace the file name in the command line. Speaking of the command, -producer , which can be used to set PDF producer. The angle brackets are used to enclose essential contents. string refers to character string. And the character string must be enclosed by quotation marks "" in the command line. Taking the following command line as an example, it can be used to set PDF producer as "hello" and convert HTM to PDF in batch
D:\htmltools\htmltools.exe -producer "hello" D:\in\*.htm D:\*.pdf
- D:\htmltools\htmltools.exe ----The directory of the executable file. It shows that the executable file in placed in the folder called htmltools on disk D.
- -producer "hello" ---- the command which set "hello" (without quotation marks) as the new created PDF's producer.
- D:\in\*.htm ---- the directory of the input files. It means that all the HTM files in the folder in on disk D should be the input files.
- D:\*.pdf ---- the directory of the output files. It leads the computer to store all the result files converted from HTM to PDF on disk D.
3. Press "Enter"
Once you press "Enter" on the keyboard, the computer will begin to batch set PDF producer and batch convert HTM to PDF without delay. When you see "result =OK" displayed in the command prompt window, it means that one file has been converted from HTM to PDF. Then you can open the PDF Properties dialog box to view the result.

I'm trying a simple definition of a set.
My try: $M=\{x\,|\,1\le x\le p-2\}$
Is there a more comfortable way of getting a little space before and after the |? I'm thinking of something like the \mod which does the spacing on its own.
share|improve this question
The correct command to use is \mid: \{x\mid 1\le x\le p-2\}. Many people add thin spaces (that is, \,) after \{ and before \} when using \mid. – egreg Sep 5 '13 at 8:48
quite like \mod in fact: \mid :-) – David Carlisle Sep 5 '13 at 8:48

The vertical bar is usually produced by using \mid, which prints the same symbol as | (or \vert, which is a synonym).
The difference is that \mid is treated as a relation symbol, so it will have thick spaces on its sides:
$M = \{ x \mid 1 \le x \le p-2 \}$
Many people (including Knuth) recommend adding thin spaces in order to detach the braces when using a condition with \mid:
$M = \{\, x \mid 1 \le x \le p-2 \,\}$
$X = \{1,2,3,4\}
when listing elements. Take your pick. For a small number of set denotations in the document this should not be a problem; but when there are many of them it's better to add a command, in order to ensure uniformity:
 \{\, #1 \mid #2 \, \}%
(the % aren't really necessary in this case) so you can call
$M = \Set{x}{1\le x\le p-2}$
and forget about the details. You'll also have the advantage that, if a fussy copy editor says they want colons and not vertical bars, it will be just a matter of changing \mid into : in the definition of \Set.
In a paper I was fine tuning for publication in a conference proceedings volume, sets were denoted in three different ways: sometimes the separation was with the bar, sometimes with a colon, sometimes with a semicolon. Being consistent in notation is a necessity, not an option.

An interesting option for you may be to load the braket package and use its commands \set and \Set. The lowercase-spelled version, \set, uses fixed-size (small) curly braces and central vertical bars; the uppercase-spelled version lets the "fence" symbols grow automatically with the material they enclose.
You could thus enter an expression such as
$M=\set{x|1\le x\le p-2}$
and let the package do the job of formatting the expression properly.

ArgumentNullException
instance is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
InvalidOperationException
The registry key for the event log could not be opened.
Win32Exception
The operating system reported an error when writing the event entry to the event log. A Windows error code is not available.
Use this method to write a localized entry to the event log, using a source already registered as an event source for the appropriate log. You specify the event properties with resource identifiers rather than string values. The Event Viewer uses the resource identifiers to display the corresponding strings from the localized resource file for the source. You must register the source with the corresponding resource file before you write events using resource identifiers.
The input instance instance specifies the event message and properties. Set the InstanceId of the instance input for the defined message in the source message resource file. You can optionally set the CategoryId and EntryType of the instance input to define the category and event type of your event entry. You can also specify an array of language-independent strings to insert into the localized message text. Set values to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the event message does not contain formatting placeholders for replacement strings.
The specified source must be registered for an event log before using WriteEvent. The specified source must be configured for writing localized entries to the log; the source must at minimum have a message resource file defined.
You must create and configure the event source before writing the first entry with the source. Create the new event source during the installation of your application. This allows time for the operating system to refresh its list of registered event sources and their configuration. If the operating system has not refreshed its list of event sources, and you attempt to write an event with the new source, the write operation will fail. You can configure a new source using an EventLogInstaller, or using the CreateEventSource method. You must have administrative rights on the computer to create a new event source.
The source must be configured either for writing localized entries or for writing direct strings. Use the WriteEntry method if your application writes string values directly to the event log.
If your application writes entries using both resource identifiers and string values, you must register two separate sources. For example, configure one source with resource files, and then use that source in the WriteEvent method to write entries using resource identifiers to the event log. Then create a different source without resource files, and use that source in the WriteEntry method to write strings directly to the event log using that source.
The following example writes an informational event entry and a warning event entry to an existing event log. The event message text is specified using a resource identifier in a resource file. The example assumes the corresponding resource file has been registered for the source.
Dim sourceName As String = "SampleApplicationSource"
If EventLog.SourceExists(sourceName)

 ' Define an informational event and a warning event.
 ' The message identifiers correspond to the message text in the
 ' message resource file defined for the source.
 Dim myInfoEvent As EventInstance = new EventInstance(InformationMsgId, 0, EventLogEntryType.Information)
 Dim myWarningEvent As EventInstance = new EventInstance(WarningMsgId, 0, EventLogEntryType.Warning)
 ' Insert the method name into the event log message.
 Dim insertStrings() As String = {"EventLogSamples.WriteEventSample2"}
 ' Write the events to the event log.
 EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myInfoEvent, insertStrings)
 ' Append binary data to the warning event entry.
 Dim binaryData() As Byte = { 7, 8, 9, 10 }
 EventLog.WriteEvent(sourceName, myWarningEvent, binaryData, insertStrings)
Else
 Console.WriteLine("Warning - event source {0} not registered", _
 sourceName)
End If

The example uses the following message text file, built into the resource library EventLogMsgs.dll. A message text file is the source from which the message resource file is created. The message text file defines the resource identifiers and text for the category, event message, and parameter insertion strings.

I'd like to define an unordered set of values using an Extended Backus-Naur Form (EBNF) context free grammar. It's easy to define an unordered list of values in EBNF, for example:
value = 'A' | 'B' | 'C';
list = value, {',', value};
However, I'm having doubts it can be done for an unordered set.
Below are examples of valid unordered sets of values:
A, B, C, D
A, B, D, C
A, D, C, B
...
D, C, B, A
Whilst invalid lists would be:
A, A, C, D
B, C, C, B
A, A, A, A
...
or lists of arbitrary length.
A, A, B, C, D, A
A, B, C, D, A, B, C, D
...

You can define sets by defining multiple non-terminal productions for each possible state of the set, but it would mean n! (or worse) productions :) – Dai Jun 4 at 6:06
1 Answer 1
up vote 1 down vote accepted
You can define unordered sets in EBNF, but only by listing all possible enumerations. That's impractical for sets larger than about two elements.
The standard -- to the extent that EBNF is a standardized notation -- allows you to use English (or any other language you feel comfortable with) to describe a sequence which is not otherwise describable. For example, the EBNF for EBNF includes this production:
syntactic exception
= ? a syntactic-factor that could be replaced
 by a syntactic-factor containing no
 meta-identifiers
 ? ;
Similarly, you could write something like:
value = 'A' | 'B' | 'C';
list = value, {',', value};
set = ? a "list" where all "value"s are unique ? ;
or perhaps
set = ? a "list" with exactly three values
 where all "value"s are unique
 ? ;
That's not much use for building a parser generator, but it might be helpful for a human reader who understands the same language as you do.
For real parser generators, a common strategy is to allow any list, which might include repeated elements, and then reject invalid lists during semantic analysis. (Or even earlier. It's not a difficult analysis.)

The OSC protocol
OSC is the acronym for Open Sound Control. This protocol was created to send orders between different applications using the network, a bit like MIDI but more flexible. Many software programs support this protocol and it is therefore a simple way to communicate several applications.
The OSC uses the UDP network protocol.
An OSC device can be declared in Modulo Player.
To be able to send orders to a third party application, it is necessary to know the IP address of the machine where the application and the communication port are hosted.
The IP address is a bit like the street and the port a bit like the number of the mailbox in the street.
To send orders, it is therefore imperative to enter this information correctly, otherwise the order will not be received by the third-party application.
In the same way to receive orders from a third party application in Modulo Player: It is necessary to choose the port on which you want to receive the orders and in the third party application it is necessary to say that we will send commands to the IP address of the Modulo Player.
An OSC message is composed of a path and sent values.
A path is defined by a sequence of words separated by / for example it can be /modulo/task/1 This string is defined arbitrarily but it is imperative that the sender and receiver use the same syntax.
The values sent can be Boolean, integers, float or strings.
Use of the OSC protocol of the Modulo Player:
Modulo Player has an integrated protocol for receiving and sending orders in OSC: This protocol and "Touch OSC": _URL_ were used to create user interfaces on tablets or telephone when the IU did not exist in Modulo Player.
So we're going to use a preset for Touch OSC.
This preset is loaded into the tablet or phone connected in network with the Modulo Player using the Touch OSC Editor application, the documentation is available on this "page": _URL_
The input and output ports are by default the ones used in Touch OSC.
we will activate "trigger enable" and "feedback" on the OSC device, to receive orders using the OSC Modulo Player protocol and to send information back to TouchOSC.
For those who want to go further, the OSC Modulo Player protocol is described on this "link": _URL_
It is possible to use this protocol with any application to communicate with Modulo Player in OSC.
Manual use: Task:
A task can also be triggered by using the OSC device as a trigger.
We create a task, we add the OSC device as a trigger.
Manual use: Digimap:
It is also possible to create a digimap that will receive a value from an OSC device.
We add a touchpad in touch osc.
We create a digimap, we patch it to the x-position of a media.
We create a second digimap and patch it to the y-position of a media.
sending an OSC command to a device:
You can also send commands to an OSC application using a task.
For example, we will create two tasks to move a button in the TouchOSC application.

How do residential rehab programs cater to veterans?
How Do Residential Rehab Programs Cater to Veterans?
Introduction
Veterans face unique challenges when it comes to mental health and addiction recovery. The experiences and traumas encountered during military service often require specialized care and attention. Residential rehab programs, such as those offered by Trinity Behavioral Health, are designed to address the distinct needs of veterans. These programs provide a safe and structured environment where veterans can receive comprehensive treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues. In this article, we will explore how residential rehab programs cater specifically to veterans, ensuring they receive the care and support necessary for a successful recovery.
Understanding the Needs of Veterans
The Impact of Military Service
Military service can have a profound impact on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Veterans often face high-stress environments, exposure to combat, and the possibility of sustaining physical injuries. These experiences can lead to conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. The transition from military to civilian life can further exacerbate these issues, creating additional challenges for veterans seeking help.
The Importance of Specialized Care
Veterans require specialized care that addresses their unique experiences and needs. Traditional rehab programs may not fully understand or cater to the complexities of military-related trauma and addiction. Residential rehab programs for veterans are specifically designed to provide tailored treatment plans that incorporate an understanding of military culture and the specific challenges faced by veterans. This specialized approach ensures that veterans receive the appropriate care and support necessary for their recovery journey.
Features of Residential Rehab Programs for Veterans
Comprehensive Assessment and Personalized Treatment Plans
Upon entering a residential rehab program, veterans undergo a comprehensive assessment to determine the extent of their substance abuse and mental health issues. This assessment helps in creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of each veteran. The treatment plan may include a combination of therapies such as individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and medication management.
Trauma-Informed Care
One of the key components of residential rehab programs for veterans is trauma-informed care. This approach recognizes the impact of trauma on an individual's mental health and addiction. Therapists and counselors in these programs are trained to understand and address the effects of trauma, providing a safe and supportive environment for veterans to process their experiences. Trauma-informed care may include therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE).
Peer Support and Community Building
Veterans often find comfort and strength in connecting with others who have shared similar experiences. Residential rehab programs foster a sense of community by providing opportunities for peer support and camaraderie. Group therapy sessions, recreational activities, and support groups allow veterans to build relationships with others who understand their struggles. This sense of community can be a powerful motivator for recovery and long-term sobriety.
Holistic Approaches to Healing
In addition to traditional therapies, residential rehab programs for veterans often incorporate holistic approaches to healing. These may include activities such as yoga, meditation, art therapy, and equine therapy. Holistic therapies address the mind, body, and spirit, promoting overall well-being and helping veterans develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Family Involvement and Support
Family involvement is a crucial aspect of recovery for many veterans. Residential rehab programs encourage family participation through family therapy sessions and educational workshops. These programs help families understand the challenges faced by their loved ones and provide them with the tools to support their recovery journey. Strengthening family relationships can significantly enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and promote long-term success.
Specialized Programs and Services
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many veterans struggle with co-occurring disorders, such as PTSD and substance abuse. Residential rehab programs for veterans often offer dual diagnosis treatment to address both conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach ensures that veterans receive comprehensive care for all their mental health and addiction issues, improving their chances of successful recovery.
Vocational Training and Educational Support
Transitioning to civilian life can be challenging for veterans, especially when it comes to finding employment and pursuing education. Some residential rehab programs offer vocational training and educational support to help veterans develop new skills and achieve their career goals. These programs provide job placement assistance, resume building workshops, and educational resources to support veterans in their journey towards independence and self-sufficiency.
Aftercare and Continuing Support
Recovery is an ongoing process that extends beyond the duration of a residential rehab program. Aftercare and continuing support are essential components of successful recovery for veterans. Many residential rehab programs offer aftercare services such as outpatient counseling, support groups, and alumni programs. These services provide ongoing support and resources to help veterans maintain their sobriety and navigate the challenges of everyday life.
Conclusion
Residential rehab programs play a vital role in catering to the unique needs of veterans. By providing specialized care, trauma-informed therapy, peer support, and holistic approaches to healing, these programs offer veterans the comprehensive treatment they need to overcome addiction and mental health issues. At Trinity Behavioral Health, we are committed to supporting veterans on their journey to recovery, helping them build a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Areca palm is one of the popular houseplants which can served as both decorative indoor plant and air purifying indoor plant. But does Areca plant can really purify indoor air and make it fresh?
Yes, the leaves of the Areca palm have an air-purifying effect.
The Areca palm is one of the houseplants that also like to be used in office-like working environments because polluted air is very well tolerated. In fact, this palm filters the polluting particles from the air inhaled by the leaves and therefore has an air-purifying effect. The plant itself is not bothered by it at all and converts the air particles that are bad for us into green growth. The space agency NASA has conducted research into the air-purifying effect of plants and it turned out that the Areca palm removes xylene and toluene in particular from the air very well. Both are toxic solvents that are mainly used in paints, resins, inks, etc. In addition to being an excellent air purifier, the Areca palm also proved to be a perfect humidifier.
The origin of Areca Palm
This feather palm is often called Areca palm, but this African species no longer belongs to the Arecas, not even to the Chrysalidocarpus palm genus, of which it was the only species for a long time. No, the botanists have decided that it should now be called Dypsis, with only one species again: Dypsis lutescens. The real Arecas come from Asia, the Dypsis (formerly Chrysalidocarpus) is originally only found on the African island of Madagascar and has conquered the world as an exotic houseplant from there. It is not a tall, trunk-forming palm, but it forms spreading clumps of stems from the roots. On those stems appear the 90-120 cm long, pinnate leaves that fall off when they have done their job and new leaves take over their job of light energy converters.
The Dypsis lutescens (let's just call it Areca palm) grows slowly and can get very old. In a light spot and at normal room temperatures it will grow 15-20 cm per year. The plant can reach a final height of about 200 cm with its leafy stems, but the number of stems in the pot will therefore increase.
How to take care of Areca Palm
Place your Areca palm in a bright spot, but not in bright sunlight. The winter sun is not that bright, but this palm can have winter sunlight in the room or conservatory. Make sure that the (night) temperature does not drop below 13 °C. Lower temperatures are too cold for the Areca palm. Make sure that the root ball (also in winter) always remains moist and ensure a sufficiently high humidity. Spraying the leaves every now and then is very good, also to remove the dust from the leaves. Water generously on the roots, allow to drain gently and pour off excess water afterwards. The plant does not like 'wet feet'. For ease of care, it is advisable to place the plant in a decorative pot on a saucer. Give less water at lower temperatures. During the growing period, add liquid plant food (for green leafy plants) to the irrigation water every fourteen days. The rest period of this palm falls with us in the winter.
Older plants may flower. They then form the clusters of flowers known from other palm species (such as the date palms), from which the berry-like, golden-yellow fruits later develop. Growers use the seeds from these fruits to grow young palms, but the Areca palm is also propagated by removing ground shoots and growing them separately. Both the sowing and the separate potting of ground shoots (which must then be rooted) is done in the spring.
Gardening is my passion and growing plants indoors has always been a stress relief for me. Grow a banana tree in my apartment once (although failed to produce bananas).


Third Army Traffic Map. June 1918.
The logistical complexity behind the front line is visualised in this Third Army road traffic map of 1918.
Bold lines highlight the main roads for the use of motor vehicles and animals, whilst dotted lines denote single track roads, arrows giving the direction of travel. Exceptions are provided for officers and messengers, and animals are prohibited from being exercised on any roads.
Supply lines had failed during the Somme offensive of 1916, and a civilian, Sir Eric Geddes, was drafted in to improve British Expeditionary Force transport arrangements. By 1918 an efficient system of moving supplies, men and ammunition as quickly as possible to the front, and casualties and information away from it, had developed.
At the time of this map, the German Spring Offensive struck at the front in the bottom right corner of the map. In such circumstances the speed of logistics could be the difference between success and failure.

text: When GM (genetically modified) and non-GM crops coexist, not all of the latter can be sold as GM-free crops as some of them will likely be contaminated by GM crops. The choice of producing non-GM crops will consequently depend on the surrounding crops. We therefore analyze the spatial distribution of GM and non-GM crops. When producers follow individual strategies, many spatial configurations arise in equilibrium, some of which are more efficient than others. We examine how coordination among producers impacts the spatial distribution of crop varieties, and show that coordination among only a small number of producers can greatly improve efficiency. In particular, a non-GM producer neighboring two GM producers needs to coordinate with only one of them to eliminate any spatial inefficiency from variety choices.

It is possible to use a hash function to construct a block cipher with a structure similar to DES? Because a hash function is one way and a block cipher must be reversible (to decrypt), how is it possible?
migrated from security.stackexchange.com Nov 8 '12 at 12:26
It is possible to build a block cipher out of a great many things. If you want to use a hash function, the classic trick is to follow a Feistel structure, which is, incidentally, the same kind of structure than what DES uses.
The schematics on the Wikipedia page are quite clear; you would use the hash function for the "F" part, which combines one (sub)key and one half of the current block, to produce a value which is to be XORed with the other half of the current block. The beauty of the scheme is that the "F" function is always invoked in the same direction, both for encryption and for decryption. Therefore, it can be a one-way function, like a hash function.
Luby and Rackoff have demonstrated in 1988 that the Feistel scheme offers remarkable security with as little as four rounds, provided that the "F" function is "perfect" and that the cipher block size is big enough (to get the standard "128-bit security" out of the Luby-Rackoff proof, you need 256-bit blocks).
Of course, any concrete hash function cannot be really "perfect" (see for instance this answer) and there are a lot of subtle details which can destroy the security of the best thought cipher structure. As usual, you are strongly advised not to build your own crypto (unless you are quite clear with yourself that you do it for learning and not to actually protect any data of value).
Also, if you build such a cipher, you will probably notice that the resulting performance is disappointing. With a secure hash function like SHA-256, you could expect an encryption bandwidth roughly 20 times lower than what AES would get you.
It is possible to use a hash function like (SHA family, for instance) in OFB or CFB (and possibly CTR), by using the hash function (with the key as part of the input!) in the place of the block cipher encryption. That said, Thomas is right -- DO NOT BUILD YOUR OWN CRYPTO. Just use a normal block cipher. You'll get better performance (especially if it's AES and you're on hardware with ways to accelerate it), and you'll probably get better security (at least you'll know it's been examined).

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation was awarded the 2022 Environmental Excellence Award by the Federal Highway Administration.
WYDOT won this award in the category of Ecosystems, Habitats, and Wildlife for its efforts in the Snake River Bridge reconstruction and wildlife crossing integration project.
This is one of 14 awards that are given out nationwide in a variety of environmental categories.
The Snake River Bridge project was undertaken by WYDOT in collaboration with Wyoming Game and Fish, Teton County, and other community organizations. The project was designed to replace a bridge on Wyoming Highway 22 and expand it to accommodate local and migrating wildlife within the Greater Yellowstone National Park ecosystem.
The project will extend the bridge in order to accommodate a wildlife underpass and will include three additional wildlife crossings that will facilitate safer wildlife movements, especially for large animals such as moose, elk, and deer.
The Federal Highway Administration cited "WYDOT's exemplary achievement" and "extensive stakeholder collaboration, community engagement, and environmental considerations" in conferring the award.
The Snake River Bridge project will be set to contract this fall and construction could take place as early as spring 2023.

ALA News: ULIS launches 80x80 pixel Micro80 Gen2 thermal sensor aimed at large-volume applications. It features novel packaging solutions by being the first Ball Grid Array (BGA) infrared sensor box packaged in a JEDEC tray. It is designed using a Unique Wafer Level Packaging (UWLP) with vacuum technology; this allows it to support optical fields of up to 120°. It is the first infrared sensor with a unique plastic lens holder, eliminating the need for the user to develop its own, thus saving time and lowering costs.
The new Micro80 Gen2 consumes less than 55mW. This further extends the battery life and the operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), while being more compact and lighter than earlier models. It supports a broad spectrum of frame rates (from 1Hz to 50 Hz) and allows vision up to 150 meters.
"These new and improved features of the Micro80 Gen2 address the needs of large-volume production processes. This means that it is not only ideal for the small-resolution thermography and short-distance surveillance markets, but can also open up new industries for ULIS," said Cyrille Trouilleau, product manager at ULIS. "The introduction of these novel characteristics is the first step towards the widespread use of thermal sensors in smart building management systems."

Jupiter is a divine beneficial planet that rules over Sagittarius and Pisces sign. In Vedic astrology, no planet is more beneficial than Jupiter, in fact in any horoscope importance of planet Jupiter is supreme.
If Jupiter is afflicted or weak in your Horoscope then the overall strength of the Jupiter gets affected, those who have benefic Jupiter tend to have an advantage because the aspect of Jupiter turns positive and the house where it falls tends to blossom.
Jupiter rules over two signs viz Sagittarius and Pisces. Jupiter represents knowledge, famer, wealth, success and kids. Jupiter rules over constellation of Punarvasu, Vishaka and Poorva Bhadrapad. Jupiter have 5th, 7th and 9th aspect from its position.
Capricorn is the 10th sign of zodiac scheme and is ruled by planet Saturn. It is a very Earthy sign which is fixed by nature and planet Mars achieve exaltation there whereas planet Jupiter reaches its debilition point making it powerless.
Capricorn is the sign of discipline and authority. Native having Jupiter in Capricorn sign tends to be very serious and organised by nature. Their work style is almost military style where they require things in certain order.
How to judge effects of Jupiter transit 2021?
I have written a separate article on this but for the purpose of this article you can check the following points:
1. Judge the role of Jupiter in your Horoscope: This is by far the most important one because Jupiter like any other planet will change its role, which will depend on the lordship of planet Jupiter.
For example, Jupiter is benefic planet for Aries ascendant whereas a malefic for Taurus ascendant.
You can check this guide which will explain you lordship of Jupiter and other planets that too ascendant wise.
2.The condition of Jupiter in Natal Chart: As mentioned in my guide on how to read a transit, the condition of a certain planet in the natal chart matter a lot while judging its transit effects.
The best way to explain this is as follows:
Suppose Jupiter have very close degrees to your ascendant, for example Ascendant is at 18 degrees and Jupiter is around 17 degrees then in most of the division chart Jupiter will fall in same house like natal chart.
And, this will make Jupiter the most important planet for you and will play an important role in your destiny hence its Transit can be very vital.
3.Ashtakvargabindus of Jupiter in Capricorn sign: As mentioned in most of my articles that while judging the effects of a planetary transit, we need to see how many bindus that planet is getting in the sign of its transit.
So here you need to see how much bindus Jupiter is having in the sign of Capricorn if more then 4 then you can expect good results even if Jupiter is a functional malefic.
4.The number of total bindus in the sign of Capricorn sign: This is again a Ashtakvarga rule, and here you need to see that how many bindus Jupiter is getting in the sign of Capricorn.
If more then 28 then you can expect good results from Jupiter transit in Capricorn
Though there is always a contradiction, like Jupiter may have less than 4 bindus in Capricorn sign but the total score in Ashtakvarga may be more than 28.
So here one needs to take decisions wisely and make the right conclusion based on other factors.
It comes with practice 🙂
5. Running Dasha: Naturally, Dasha is most important in any kind of predictions and here if you are running into Dasha of Jupiter itself then Jupiter transit in Capricorn will become most important for you.
So you have seen how many factors are there, and actually, there are more than what I have explained above.
Making prediction is an art and one needs to use more than one Dasha system.
6. Transit Of Other Planets: All transits work with each other like double transit theory, the same way you need to consider the followings transits also because they will be affecting the final outcome of Jupiter transit in Capricorn.
Jupiter is a important planet and tends to create negative results if afflicted.
On another hand, Jupiter can produce Rajyoga when in a planetary relationship with the benefic or yoga karaka planet.
Not to forget that Jupiter is a slow planet and making a prediction on Jupiter transit in Capricorn can be tricky therefore the predictions of these predictions are general in nature and for accurate predictions, other factors in Horoscope will matter.
Jupiter & Saturn Union In 2021
Saturn is already present in sign of Capricorn and Jupiter will join it on 21st November.
These two major planets are making union which is a rare occurrence and this does hold a special place in vedic astrology.
Here double transit theory will need special consideration and without that you can not make any analysis of Jupiter transit in Capricorn sign.
Generally their union is considered as auspicious and is seen in many major successful people like M.S Dhoni etc.
It gives one knowledge of a Sage, temperament of a Monk and Wealth like Lord Kuber.
In year 2021 there will be some signs which will experience good results from this auspicious union and later part of the article I will be giving weightage to their union while giving predictions on each ascendant.
On world level this union seems to be very important and a very system will come in finances like a new system of doing financithings, how you carry out meetings and how you do Business.
Change is evident which is need of the hour due to Corona and their union is conforming the same.
Jupiter Transit 2021: For Aries Ascendant
For Aries ascendant planet Jupiter is lord of 9th and 12th house and is a benefic planet for them. A well placed Jupiter in their natal Horoscope can give very benefic results.
During this transit Jupiter will be going through 10th house of career and will be making a union with Saturn.
Lets see how their life will be affected by it.
1. CareerJupiter transit is happening over their 10th house which will lead to direct impact on career and their position in society. The first indication is negative in this regard and some event can happen at work place which will lead to stress and rivalry with people around you.
Pormotion is delayed and will come around August 2021 and that will lead to sunken feeling in them.
Relationship with boss won't be smooth either and
2. Wealth -Jupiter is natural karaka of wealth and its aspect on the 4th house shows a desire to buy a car, house or change in residence.
If dasha is allowing then purchase of one expensive item can be there.
Chances of change in residence is very high and their abroad prospects are looking good which will lead to better financial prospects in future.
3.Marriage & RelationshipFor Females Jupiter is Karaka of Husband and its debilitation is not good for relationship with Husband. There can be issues with husband and to husband also. Possibility of Husband facing issues in his work life is there though here individual Horoscope of spouse will matter.
This entry of Jupiter in 10th house can lead to marriage and also movement to far place after it.
Mother can see issues in her health and relationship with her can go sour, whereas Father definitely need to watch his finances.
With childrens things will be fine and major issues are not see.
4.HealthJupiter here is lord of the 12th house which is Karaka of hospitals and in 10th house which is the strongest Kendra can lead to issues in Knees.

The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum is proud to welcome Michael Turner from GeerCrest Farm & Historical Society. Turner will be presenting his first full-length biography, The Life of Vesper Geer. This award winning biography tells the story of a woman's enduring love for her small farm.
The biography is made up of archival materials from the GeerCrest Historical Society. The Historical Society was established in 2007 to preserve and protect the history of the Geer family for descendants and Oregonians alike. The film follows the life of Vesper Geer and her family. Vesper was a fourth generation owner of the Geer Farmstead.
The tale of the Geer family is one of some of the first Oregon pioneers. The Geer Farmstead was the second deed land claim made in Oregon. The Geer home was constructed in 1848 and is the oldest frame-built house in Oregon to remain in the same family. Turner passionately tells the story of Vesper who was born in her family home in 1917 and then died there in 2010. The film recently premiered at the 2012 Oregon Heritage Conference in Salem. It also won best documentary at the Teeny Tiny Film Festival in 2012.
Stan Hall of The Oregonian says this about the film, "For aficionados of Oregon history, Michael Turner's documentary is pure manna. For everyone else, it's still a beautifully conceived and executed Ken Burns – style tribute to continuity and preservation." Hall also adds, "The Geer family story is in many respects the story of Oregon itself." – July 2012
Don't miss a unique opportunity to see the film and speak with the filmmaker! The official film trailer can be viewed at: _URL_
This is a FREE event and is open to the public. The event will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday October 11th, 2012.

Mountaintops, like Mount Dana in Yosemite National Park, have extreme conditions of cold and wind. The mountaintops are isolated from one another and so create a small island of favorable conditions for some plants.
Why It Matters
- Yosemite has high flat plateaus at around 12,000 feet elevation. The plateaus stuck up while glaciers carved around them.
- On these rocky plateaus are plants that grow nowhere else. They are endemic to these high altitude environments.
- Animals can be found up this high too but they are rare. Some, like the marmot, hibernate during the long winters.

I've implemented this in Flash and C++. It's the real deal: it uses Box2D's internal sweep and prune structure for efficient calculations. You should see the best performance gains on the previous naive solutions when doing very long diagonal casts, or when doing a long cast that hits something immediately.
Pretty simple, really. Either call
b2World::Raycast in a similar manner to
b2World::Query, or call
b2World::RaycastOne in a similar way to
b2Shape::TestSegment. The former is for finding multiple shapes, and the latter for the common case of just wanting one shape. It should be pretty obvious, but there are also Doxygen style comments in the code.
In both cases, there is a argument called
userData. This is so that you can filter which shapes the ray can hit. By default, passing null means the ray can hit everything, while passing a shape means the ray can only hit things that shape can hit. You can customize it further by overriding the contact filter, which now has an extra method,
solidShapes determines if rays can hit shapes that they start inside. Fixing this nicely has changed
b2Shape::TestSegment's return type to an enum.
See the wiki article for more explanation.
None known, though it can be fiddly to ensure that rays always collide with what you want. I advise starting from inside a shape, and using solidShapes=false.

Quimby - what does Quimby surname mean?
Recorded in the various spellings of Quimby, Quinby, Quenby, and Quemby, this is a locational English surname which originates from a village called Quenby in the county of Leicestershire. The village name and hence the surname is of 7th century Olde English origins, but with a later Danish-Viking overlap. The translation is from the words 'Cwene-berg' and means 'The Queen's Manor', although the 'berg' was later transmuted to the Danish 'bi' meaning farm. The first known official recording is that in the 1086 Domesday Book when it appears as 'Queneberie' becoming Quenby in the records of the year 1242. Who the original Queen was who held this manor is unknown, but no doubt it was associated with the kingdom of Mercia. The recordings of the surname are much later and like most locational surnames refer initially to the lord of the manor. Whether the later nameholders are decended from him or whether they assumed their name when they moved elsewhere from the village, can only be decided by a full genealogical survey. Early examples of the surname recording include Jane Quenby, who married William Beech at St George's chapel, Hanover Square, London, in 1791, but the first known all recordings is that of Ralph de Quenebi, in the Hundred Rolls of the county of Huntingdon, in the year 1272. This was during the reign of King Edward 1st, 1272 - 1307.

Alan Alda's science contest asks: What is color?
| Zoom
MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - Alan Alda, the actor-turned-part-time professor, has a new question for scientists to consider: How do you explain color to an 11-year-old?
The television and film star best known for his role in the 1970s sitcom "MASH" is posing the question as part of the third annual "Flame Challenge." Alda helped organize the international contest as part of his work at the Stony Brook University Center for Communicating Science.
The university on eastern Long Island named the center in Alda's honor earlier this year; its goal is to get scientists in various disciplines to explain complex concepts in the simplest of ways.
This year's question was selected by Alda after receiving about 800 suggested questions from children. He explained that many questions focused on issues about light and color, including the childhood classic: "Why is the sky blue?"
"I'm in awe of the scientists who can bring clarity to these questions and I'm in awe of the kids who keep the scientists on their toes," Alda said.
Alda, a New York native who has had a lifelong interest in science, started the contest in 2011 by asking scientists: What is a flame? He followed that up last year with: What is time?
Now comes color.
"We want scientists to think about how they can answer the question from their own field _ from biology to physics to anthropology or psychology," said Elizabeth Bass, director of the Alda Center. Bass said the answer can be explained from a variety of scientific perspectives, including physics, chemistry or psychology.
Scientists have a March 1 deadline to submit their responses, which will then be judged by 11-year-olds logging onto the Flame Challenge website. Last year, 20,000 students around the world served as judges.
Two winners _ one a written entry and the second for a video or graphic entry _ will receive a free trip to New York City, where they will meet Alda and be honored at the World Science Festival.

The contemporary film critics held because of their versatility for one of the most outstanding actresses of the entire silent era. Towards the end of the silent era waned her popularity and she only occurred in three sound films. In 1930 she retired from the film business altogether back. When she got no more appointments, she worked at all times in a department store in Los Angeles. In the late 1960s, she was, in particular by European film students, recognition as a pioneer of the American film received.

Aboriginal Spirit Displayed at Grandin LRT Station
March 21, 2014
The spirit of reconciliation enlivens the walls of Grandin LRT Station, reflecting the history and resilience of Edmonton's Aboriginal community.
The Grandin Murals are the outcome of two years of dialogue and consultation among Edmonton's Francophone and Aboriginal communities. They were created by artists Aaron Paquette and Sylvie Nadeau.
Aaron's Paquette's artwork is new. Sylvie Nadeau, who created the original mural, has added panels depicting an Aboriginal boy and girl.
"The City of Edmonton is proud to have been a part of making this project a reality," said Councillor Tony Caterina. "We are committed to building positive relationships with Aboriginal communities built on respect and understanding for a shared history. Together, the murals at Grandin LRT Station form a powerful symbol of that desire. They also remind us that in order to build a better future, we must learn from the past."
Displayed along 80 feet of painted panels on the station's east wall, local Métis artist Aaron Paquette's captivating and colourful mural depicts sacred symbols and imagery that reflect 10,000 years of Aboriginal history in the city we now call Edmonton.
"This mural is the culmination of many consultations, talks, visits and stories I had the pleasure of attending and hearing over the past two years," said Aaron Paquette. "They all built into a powerful, multi-layered narrative; small songs weaving themselves into a great symphony. It was a wonderful challenge to condense everything into one work of art, but, in the end, this mural is not me speaking for anyone, but all those voices speaking for themselves through something they helped create. I hope it offers a more complete understanding of history and our place in it. I hope I was able to make something that stands the test of time and reminds us that we are all connected, that we are all on this journey together."
Nadeau's new panels "speak" to Paquette's mural and reflect the journey of reconciliation. The artists worked in close partnership for two years and the resulting murals place Grandin Station as a site for understanding, awareness, and healing.
"Working alongside Aaron Paquette has been a privilege, and I am honoured to have been afforded this opportunity to be part of a solution," said Sylvie Nadeau, a member of the francophone community. "We see our works as speaking together from across a shared and troubled history; a symbol of moving towards mutual respect and understanding. Through this process of learning and healing, I've discovered that my artwork can still channel the love and peace I originally brought to it and I hope it will inspire more people to engage in the larger conversation about the history of Residential Schools."
Grandin station's original mural was commissioned by La Francophonie jeunesse in 1989 to honour Bishop Vital Grandin for whom the station and surrounding community are named.
However, some community members objected to the mural's imagery which, they felt, evoked the troubling history of the Residential Schools. In 2011, Francophonie jeunesse de l'Alberta and the City of Edmonton with the support of the Edmonton Arts Council and other community agencies convened a working circle to find solutions to the issue. The collective decision was made to re-envision the original work and commission a new mural.
"The Grandin station mural has been a long-term project for FJA and I'm happy to see that collaboration and reconciliation is at the heart of why we are all here today," said FJA president Samuel Gagnon. "Since 1989, we have led this project, and although I was not involved at the time, I can tell you that the original piece by Sylvie Nadeau was and still represents the Francophone community's contributions to this province. It is a part of our history as Albertans."
The majority of funding for the new and re-envisioned murals came from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission with additional funding from the City of Edmonton and the Community Arts grant program administered by the Edmonton Arts Council.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada will end its national journey of healing in Edmonton from March 27 to 30, 2014. Three days of events are designed to educate Canadians about the effects of the Residential School System.

Can Kava Aid Weight Loss Efforts Efficiently?
Efficient kava for weight loss aid: Can it jumpstart your weight loss efforts? Find out the benefits and effectiveness here.
Curious if kava boosts weight loss? Let's dive into how kava can help. Learn about kava's potential benefits, use, and effectiveness for weight management. Let's uncover if kava is your secret weapon in shedding those extra pounds.
Can Kava Assist Weight Management Purposes Efficiently?
The Advantages of Kava for Weight Management
In the pursuit of weight management, numerous individuals explore assorted supplements and botanical concoctions to bolster their endeavors. One such botanical solution that has garnered attention in recent times is kava. Renowned for its tranquil and tension-alleviating attributes, kava has also been posited to harbor potential advantages for weight management. Yet, can kava genuinely assist in weight management purposes effectively?
Kava, extracted from the root of the Piper methysticum plant indigenous to the South Pacific, has been utilized in traditional healthcare for its calming and anxiety-reducing impacts. It is commonly ingested in the form of infusions, powders, or, more recently, liquid shots. Concerning weight management, kava is believed to aid by diminishing stress and anxiety levels, which may lead to overconsumption and weight increase. By fostering a feeling of ease and tranquility, kava might assist individuals in making more wholesome dietary choices and curbing emotional eating, ultimately bolstering their weight management journey.
The Scientific Basis of Kava and Weight Management
While the firsthand evidence supporting kava's involvement in weight management is encouraging, scientific exploration on this subject remains restricted. A particular study featured in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology discovered that kava extract alleviated symptoms of anxiety and depression in individuals grappling with generalized anxiety disorder. As stress and anxiety are frequently associated with emotional eating and weight gain, these results propose that kava could indirectly support weight management by addressing fundamental psychological aspects.
Furthermore, kava is recognized to interact with neurotransmitters in the brain, such as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which assumes a role in regulating stress and anxiety levels. By adjusting GABA activity, kava might aid individuals in managing stress more competently, potentially resulting in improved weight control outcomes.
Infusing Kava into Your Weight Management Regimen
If contemplating incorporating kava into your weight management routine, it is crucial to do so cautiously and under professional advisement. While kava is generally well-received when ingested moderately, excessive or prolonged utilization could precipitate detrimental effects, like liver toxicity. It is imperative to procure premium kava products from reputable vendors, such as herbalshotz, to ensure authenticity and effectiveness.
In tandem with integrating kava into your regimen, maintaining a well-rounded diet, committing to routine physical activities, and emphasizing stress management methodologies are fundamental constituents of a thriving weight management voyage. Bear in mind that weight management is an incremental process that demands commitment and regularity, and although kava may furnish supportive advantages, it is not a miraculous resolution for shedding weight.
By capitalizing on the tension-easing attributes of kava alongside a healthful lifestyle, individuals can devise a holistic path to weight management that attends to both physical and emotional well-being. Whether opting to savor kava through liquid shots, teas, or supplements, the crucial point is to heed your body, prioritize self-nurturing, and remain steadfast toward your aspirations.
In closure, while kava exhibits potential in buttressing weight management pursuits through stress alleviation and emotional well-being, it is imperative to approach its utilization thoughtfully and in conjunction with other healthful lifestyle etiquettes. By embedding kava into a well-rounded weight management tactic tailored to your individual requisites, you can enhance your likelihoods of success and well-being.
Remember, at herbalshotz, we are here to bolster you on your odyssey toward holistic well-being and stress alleviation. Explore our array of kratom and kava liquid shots to pinpoint the flawless botanical comrade for your well-being mandates. Let herbalshotz be your companion in attaining equilibrium and serenity as you navigate the route to a healthier, merrier you.
