Chimes is the name of both clock bells and an orchestral instrument. Chimes can refer to three bells of high pitch used to mark the quarter hours, or to a set of chromatically arranged bells played from a keyboard. The clock bells are sometimes called carillon chimes when they number 23 or more bells.
Carillon bells are usually mounted in towers known as campaniles and are usually an outdoor instrument. However, a traveling carillon, called a "concert carillon," was created in 2003 and played in a variety of locations in Germany and the Netherlands that summer. In 2006, there were at least 13 traveling carillons worldwide.
Carillon bells are often associated with church communities and used to play hymns. However, there is also a collection of original repertoire composed for them, as well as arrangements of piano music and other works. U.S. composer Samuel Barber wrote a Suite for Carillon in 1934.
The orchestral instrument called chimes or tubular bells is a chromatic arrangement of an octave and half of long metal tubes that are suspended from a frame. Mounted on wheels, chimes can be easily moved into place. Chimes are played with rawhide or brass mallets. Rawhide, sometimes substituted by yarn mallets, results in a soft sound, whereas brass mallets create a tenser and more focused sound.
Intended to sound like church bells, chimes have complex overand undertones. They range from middle C (C4) to the F an octave and a half above (F5). The duration is controlled with a foot pedal.
Chimes have notable appearances in several famous orchestral pieces. They appear in the finale of French composer Maurice Ravel's orchestration of Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky's piano piece, Pictures at an Exhibition: "The Great Gate of Kiev." Chimes are also featured in the final scene of German composer Richard Wagner's opera, Parsifal, and at the end of Austrian composer Gustav Holst's homage to "Saturn" in The Planets.

How The Kumbh Mela Crowds Are Counted
Date 2013/2/7 18:04:40 | Topic: Hindu Press International
ALLAHABAD, INDIA, February 2, 2013 (India Real Time): The Kumbh Mela is frequently billed as the world's largest religious gathering. It is almost certainly true. But how can we know for sure? The two men with the challenge of counting up to an estimated 80 million people are divided on how to do it. They also come up with different numbers. They are Devesh Chaturvedi, the commissioner of Allahabad, and Alok Sharma, the inspector general of police in the city, which is hosting the Hindu festival.
The Commissioner reckons the number of pilgrims passing through the Kumbh Mela site on the banks of the Ganga between Jan. 14 and March 10 will end up somewhere between 60 to 80 million. Both men use different techniques for counting but agree neither method is scientific or water tight. Mr. Sharma is more conservative and estimates the final total will be around 40 to 60 million.
"We use thumb rules," says Mr. Sharma. His team positions counters at the entry points to the Mela area, which leads to the bathing ghats (banks). They calculate the maximum crowd capacity of 100 meters of road based on the assumption that each pilgrim will take up 1.5 square feet of ground. Then they measure the speed of the crowd by timing how long it takes a police officer to move 600 meters with the throng. "The pace of crowd keeps changing depending on the density," the Inspector General adds. Once they know how long it has taken the policeman to walk 600 meters they can work out how big a crowd has covered the same distance and how many people have passed. Vehicles arriving along the entry roads around Allahabad are counted manually and trains with up to 8,000 passengers each are also added to the total.
Mr. Chaturvedi has a different approach to the enormous population count. From a series of watch towers across the 14 sectors of the Mela site head-counters try to keep a tab on the number of pilgrims below. "It's not the most scientific way of doing it," Mr Chaturvedi says. "But that is the only estimate available to us." This year for the first time the Mela is also being tracked using satellite imagery. "Based on the color of the images they are going to tell what is the density of human beings," Mr. Chaturvedi says. Using calculations based on the average stay of pilgrims and photographs taken at different times of day, the Commissioner hopes it will provide a more accurate count.
Mr. Chaturvedi says that the biggest crowd so far, on the first day of the festival, was 8 million while Mr. Sharma puts it at between 1.5 million and 1.8 million.

This script provides the base setup for state lunatic effects. These effects will occur under certain conditions, which can include when a state is applied, erased, leaves naturally, before taking damage, after taking damage, at the start of a turn, while an action finishes, and at the end of a turn.
Lunatic States allow allow states to trigger various scripted functions throughout certain set periods of times or when certain conditions trigger. These effects can occur when a state is applied, when a state is erased, when a state leaves naturally, before damage is taken, after damage is taken, at the beginning of a turn, while the turn is occuring, and at the closing of a turn. These effects are separated by these eight different notetags.
 - Occurs when state is applied.
 - Occurs when state is removed.
 - Occurs when state timer hits 0.
 - Occurs before taking damage.
 - Occurs after taking damage.
 - Occurs at the start of each turn.
 - Occurs after performing an action.
 - Occurs at the end of a turn.
If multiple tags of the same type are used in the same skill/item's notebox, then the effects will occur in that order. Replace "string" in the tags with the appropriate flag for the method below to search for. Note that unlike the previous versions, these are all upcase.
Should you choose to use multiple lunatic effects for a single state, you may use these notetags in place of the ones shown above.
 - Punishment Package
 - Undead HP, Undead MP, Backfire Physical, Backfire Magical, Stat Slip Damage, Stat Slip Healing, Drain HP, Drain MP
 - Protection Package
 - Damage Cut, Damage Barrier, Damage Shelter, Damage Block, Heal Boost, Heal Bonus, Persist
Use your Lunatic Effects wisely!
And that's all, folks!

 2. Is it possible to deal unhealable damage? For example, by decreasing HP as well as maximum HP at the same time by the amount of damage dealt? I mean, you can have MORE damage, you can have FAST damage and you can have CERTAIN damage with your skill, but what about UNHEALABLE damage? :)
 3. I have a question. There are states that are removed when the battle ends. Does the "erase" effect covers that too?
 From my experiments the answer should be "No" as the effect I want doesn't gappen after the battle ends (though it works fine if the state is removed during battle), but maybe I'm just doing something wrong…?
 - Well, no idea.
 The "erase effect" still doesn't work upon battle end for some reason, even though I fail to detect anything wrong with the script…
 - That's because when they're removed at the end of battle, it's no longer considered in-battle. Lunatic State effects only occur in-battle.

 6. I'm sorry that I need to ask this and it might be a stupid question, but for some reason I don't really understand what I need to replace "string" with. If I want to make a "death sentence"-state for example, the owner of the state should die after a set number of turns, which could be achieved by using the ""-command. The problem that I have is that even after hours of trial and error, I still don't know what I need to write instead of "string" in that case. Is there a list of commands that I didn't see for some reason or does the sentence "but the users must be able to add them in themselves" mean that I need to edit the script with my own commands? Maybe I'm just thinking too complicated…
 I would really appreciate any kind of help, since I'm kind of desperate trying to find out what to do.
 7. Well i want to increase a variable x while being attacked if stat is on.
 thougth it would work like this :
 But basicly nothing happens. what is wrong about the string? When i do "$game_variables[x] += 1" to an events comment it counts the variable correctly.
 8. Does anyone know how to make a state deal a precise amount of elemental damage? I hate working with the health slip % and want to make it a static number.
 9. I think I'm pretty much at the level where I can use the Lunatic stuff now. =O Looking at what you can do with this, I'm just so happy to see this now.
 Oh Yanfly, how I love your specific preferences for setting up scripts to make battles more unique and interesting instead of just visually appealing~ <3
 10. Is it possible to use this script to create doom and auto-life states using a script call in the notetag? I'm no scripter by any means, but here is an example of what I was thinking.
 add_new_state(state ID)
 Something like this would be placed in the note box of the doom state so that after the set number of turns were up and the doom state is removed, it will then add the state associated to state ID.
 remove_state(state ID)
 actor_MHP = x%
 Something like this could be used to make an auto-life state. The character has auto-life on, when said character dies the state is erased which triggers the specified state (which would be Death) to be removed, and the player to have x% of max HP restored.
 As I said, I am definitely not a scripter, but if there is a way to do this, or some other method in existence, could you help me get on the right track? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 I have looked into the add-ons developed by pillanious, but they do not work.
 11. Sorry for the double post. My examples were supposed to contain the "" tags like this:
 add_new_state(state ID)
 remove_state(state ID)
 actor_MHP = x%
 12. I'm having the same problem as Skywad for playing an animation for the state, have tried both
 _USER_ = 7
 could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
 13. Thanks for your marvelous posting! I quite enjoyed reading it,
 your great posts, have a nice weekend!
 14. Could one use this script to create a two-turn skill, like Jump from the Final Fantasy games or Dig and Fly from Pokemon?
 Eg: use the skill Jump, which adds the Airborne state to the user, and when the user leaves the state on the next turn, they automatically attack an enemy.
 Is this doable?
 15. I'm thinking it should be possible to set up an entire party as the state origin (so for example an attacker could inflict an HP drain that heals her entire party instead of just herself) but I'm unsure how to implement it. I'm looking in
 # new method: change_state_origin
 # new method: state_origin?
 and pretty certain that is where it would need to be added (plus I made up a new Party Drain effect in the Punishment Package, "when /PDRAIN HP").
 ATM it works, but still only heals the caster.
 - _USER_: I have been working on something similar, the concept being this:
 An actor has a shield which lets you, when attacked, have a chance at activating an ability, which would restore every party member's HP by a small amount. I have tried with equipment that, when attacked, has a chance to cast a state on the targeted actor themself, but I can't seem to be getting those to work. I'm using the Passive States script in conjunction with Lunatic States for this:
 if c>=10
 I couldn't be assed to write it all in one line, and I don't know how Ruby's Syntax works THAT well. Can anyone with experience tell me what I am doing wrong, with this effect? ( … The state_id there is purely coincidential. I swear. D: )
 16. Yanfly, I don't know if you still monitor this, but there are two major bugs in this script that you might want to be aware of:
 1) On line 505 you have for state in states, then it calls the extension, which then also has a for state in states! What this does is it loops through the states n^2 times, where n is the number of states present! This causes weird effects with your other scripts, which you can

Blade Path and the Ideal Blade
Defining and studying an "ideal blade" has informed our blade innovation over the years and has led to the development of our most efficient blades: the Smoothie2 Vortex Edge and Fat2 blades.
The Typical Blade Path During the Drive
Contrary to how it might look, an oar blade does not travel in a continual arc through the water as represented in Figure 1. This would only be true if the boat were tied up to a dock. The typical path of the blade, as the boat moves past the point of entry, is the complex movement shown in Figure 2.
Figure 1: The assumed blade path.
Figure 2: What the blade path is typically.
Below, the blade path is illustrated by an image taken from an overhead video of an actual oar in the water.
We define this typical blade path as having four distinct phases:
 - Phase 1: Forward Blade Motion—The blade moves significantly forward, toward the finish line.
 - Phase 2: Outward Blade Motion—The blade moves outward, away from the boat.
 - Phase 3: Backward Blade Motion—The blade moves backward, toward the starting line.
 - Phase 4: Inward Blade Motion—The blade moves inward, toward the boat.
Having identified the typical blade path, we can now examine how a theoretical ideal blade would move and what this might tell us about how to best harness the rower's effort during the drive.
The Ideal Blade
We define the ideal blade as having:
 - Zero slip perpendicular to the blade surface.
 - No resistance to movement in line with the shaft; in other words, it would glide.
 - The ability to rotate in the water. We will define the point of rotation as the point where the blade and shaft join.
Developing a New Blade Path
Keeping in mind that boat movement influences blade path, and that blade movement is defined by the characteristics of the ideal blade, we plotted what the ideal blade path would be. We have assumed that the boat speed would be the same as for the typical path, so the position of the oarlock is the same as in each frame of the typical path diagram. Each new oar position was then plotted between the oarlock and the new blade position as defined by our ideal blade. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. The ideal blade path
In Figure 4 we have superimposed the ideal path (green) and the typical path (red) with the blades removed for clarity.
Observation 1: Shorter Outboard Length
Our first observation is the handle positions noted by the circle. It appears as though the ideal oar has not completed the stroke. To adjust for this we shortened the outboard length used with the ideal blade and re-plotted as before. This is illustrated in Figure 5.
Figure 4
Figure 5
Observation 2: Slower Rotation at Beginning of Drive
After superimposing the two blade paths, we noted that at the beginning of the drive, the ideal oar rotates more slowly than the typical oar and then speeds up in the second half of the drive.
To the rower, this means the ideal blade will feel heavier early in the drive and feel lighter after the oar reaches perpendicular. From a physiological standpoint, it makes sense to maximize blade efficiency at the same point of the stroke when the rower is using his or her large muscles to power the drive. From the perpendicular to the finish, only the upper body and arms are engaged, so it also makes sense that the load becomes lighter and handle speed increases in this phase of the drive.
Observation 3: Less Work Required to Move the Same Speed
Once the ideal oar was shortened, we were able to achieve the same catch and finish angles and the same amount of drive time as that of the oar in the typical blade path. The boat also moved the same distance, indicating that it moved at the same speed regardless of which oar was used. Because the outboard lever is shorter in the ideal blade path, the force on the handle is less, which means that less work is required to move the boat the same speed. This also means that if the same force is applied on the handle, the force on the end of the shorter oar will be greater. In other words, the rower will get more speed for equal effort.
Less effort, same speed
Equal effort, more speed
Observation 4: Less Slip
By observing blade movement during oar rotation, we noted that the ideal blade slips less. Note the image below. The slip pattern of the ideal blade is on the right. Of course, this is expected by definition of the "ideal blade."
We also see that the typical blade slips more during the first part of the drive and doesn't slip enough during the last part of the drive. The area shaded red indicates a backwatering condition where the part of the blade near the shaft produces some negative thrust, or drag. This is created by the combination of blade rotation and forward movement of the boat.
Typical Blade
Ideal Blade
Pursuing a Blade that Approaches the Theoretical Ideal
With an increased understanding of what would produce an efficient blade, we set off to design a new blade by targeting specific blade features.
 - Surface area—Increased surface areas tend to resist slippage perpendicular to the blade surface.
 - Curvature/hook—Flatter blades generate a heavier feel earlier in the drive, allowing for slower rotation.
 - Tip characteristics—Vortex generating features reduce slippage perpendicular to the blade surface.
 - Tip shape—Tapered blade edges create a force on the back of the blade, increase lift, and reduce slip, much like the delta wing effect in aeronautics.
We built these features into our Smoothie2 Vortex Edge and Fat2 blades, making them the most efficient blades we offer. Read more about how we conduct on water testing.

UFS schedules tasks by taking their system requirements as factors to sequence them. The way of sequencing them would depend upon the type of tasks that would be prefered more by him than of other types.

UV-Vis Frequently Asked Questions - Relative Diffuse Reflectance
What is relative diffuse reflectance?
Relative diffuse reflectance is measured by using an integrating sphere to measure the diffuse reflected light with specular reflected light excluded, as shown in the top diagram. This is used to measure samples with a rough surface, such as paper. The picture at bottom left shows an integrating sphere attachment used to measure relative diffuse reflectance. When using an integrating sphere, a material such as barium sulfate or specialized fluorine-based polymer is used as the reference plate (sometimes referred to as a white reference plate).
Attach a barium sulfate or other white reference plate at position (1) in the integrating sphere shown here. Perform baseline correction. The sample beam shines on the white reference plate.
Remove the white reference plate from position (1) and place the measurement sample in its place. Measure the sample to obtain the diffuse reflectance. Specular reflected light is reflected out of the integrating sphere via the sample beam inlet port and, therefore, is not detected.


text: Perinatal nursing and neonatal nursing both have a scientific base upon which to base care, and great strides have been made in translating research into practice in both of these specialties. However, barriers still exist for nurses in implementing evidence-based perinatal and neonatal care. Patient, provider, and systems factors that influence how evidence is translated into practice are discussed. Suggestions for how to implement practice change when evidence is inadequate are also discussed. Finally, examples of how the scientific base for both perinatal nursing and neonatal nursing can be more efficiently implemented are outlined on the basis of the state of implementation science in the United States today.


Claim a deduction for work clothing
Many employees are required to wear a uniform for work. Even where there is no set uniform as such, many employees have clothes that they wear only to work and regard as 'work clothes'.
So, to what extent, if any, are employees able to claim a deduction for work clothes? And, on the other side of the coin, is there a tax liability if the employee is provided with a uniform or protective clothing by their employer?
General rule for deductibility of expenses
As a general rule, a deduction is only available for employment expenses that are wholly, exclusively and necessarily incurred in the performance of the duties of the employment.
This is a hard test to meet, and one which, due to duality of purpose, clothing will fail. Even if an employee wears certain clothes for work, the clothes also provide 'warmth and decency'.
Consequently, while an employee may be required to wear a suit and tie to work and only wears it for work, they have to wear something. Their job dictates the nature of what they wear, but as the clothing also provides warmth and decency the cost is not wholly and exclusively incurred, and as such no deduction will be permitted.
Specific industries: deduction for laundry costs, etc.
Although an employee cannot claim a general deduction for 'work clothing', if they work in certain industries for which a uniform of protective clothing is required, they may be able to get a fixed rate deduction for the repair and maintenance of work equipment, which includes special clothing.
The permissible fixed rate deductions are set out in a table which can be found in HMRC's Employment Income Manual at EIM32712. For example, uniformed prison officers are allowed an annual deduction of £80. It should be noted that the same rates have applied since 2008/09.
Employer-provided clothing
Where the employee is required to wear a particular uniform, often featuring the employer's logo, this may be provided by the employer for the employee to wear.
Where an employer provides a uniform or protective clothing to an employee for them to wear at work, generally, there is no tax liability for the employee, and nothing to report to HMRC. In this context, a 'uniform' is a set of clothing of a specialised nature which is recognisable as a uniform and which is intended to identify its wearer as having a particular occupation, for example, a nurse's uniform or fire service uniform.
By contrast, providing employees with ordinary clothes that are the same but have no identifying feature, such as black trousers and a green shirt, does not satisfy the definition of a uniform, and as such would not be exempt from tax. However, permanently fixing a corporate badge or logo to an otherwise ordinary item of clothing may be sufficient to make it a 'uniform'.
Employer-provided protective clothing is also exempt. This is genuinely protective clothing worn as a physical necessity because of the nature of the job. Examples may include overalls, boots and protective gloves.
Where the employer provides 'ordinary' clothes, this will trigger a taxable benefit, even if they are designed to confer a sense of corporate identity. A tax charge will also arise if uniforms or protective clothing are provided under a salary sacrifice arrangement.

mhGAP Intervention Guide for mental, neurological and substance use disorders in non-specialized health settings
The mhGAP Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) for mental, neurological and substance use disorders for non-specialist health settings, is a technical tool developed by WHO to assist in implementation of mhGAP. The Intervention Guide has been developed through a systematic review of evidence followed by an international consultative and participatory process.
The mhGAP-IG presents integrated management of priority conditions using protocols for clinical decision-making. The priority conditions included are: depression, psychosis, bipolar disorders, epilepsy, developmental and behavioural disorders in children and adolescents, dementia, alcohol use disorders, drug use disorders, self-harm/suicide and other significant emotional or medically unexplained complaints.
The mhGAP-IG is a model guide and has been developed for use by health-care providers working in non-specialized health-care settings after adaptation for national and local needs.


PRIM SPECULAR
From Second Life Wiki
Revision as of 14:30, 20 June 2014 by Maestro Linden (Talk | contribs)
Jump to: navigation, search
Description
Constant: integer PRIM_SPECULAR = 36;
The integer constant PRIM_SPECULAR has the value 36
Used to get or set the specular map texture settings of a prim's face.
llSetPrimitiveParams
[ PRIM_SPECULAR, integer face, string texture, vector repeats, vector offsets, float rot, vector specular_color, integer glossiness, integer environment ]
- integer face face number or ALL_SIDES
- string texture a texture in the inventory of the prim this script is in or a UUID of a texture
- vector repeats x and y range from -100.0 to 100.0, in 0.0001 increments. Negative values flip the texture (z is ignored)
- vector offsets x and y range from 0.0 to 1.0, in 0.0001 increments. (z is ignored)
- float rot angle expressed in radians
- vector specular_color specular color, in the range ZERO_VECTOR (black) to <1,1,1> (white)
- integer glossiness glossiness exponent, in the range 0 to 255
- integer environment environmental reflection exponent, in the range 0 to 255
Used with llSetPrimitiveParams & llSetLinkPrimitiveParams.
Caveats
 - repeats is not only used to set the number of repeats but the sign of the individual components is also used to set the "Flip" attribute.
 - To clear the specular map parameters from the face (and possibly remove the material), set texture to NULL_KEY (the other parameters must be supplied in this case but will be ignored).
 - Note that whenever any face in a linkset contains a material (i.e. has a non-default PRIM_NORMAL, PRIM_SPECULAR, or ALPHA_MODE), the linkset will use the new accounting system.
 - In the default texture mapping mode the texture repeats units are in texture repeats per face. In the planar texture mapping mode the texture repeats units are in texture repeats per half meter. This is in contrast to the in-world editing tool, in which the planar texture scaling units are repeats per meter.
 - If texture is missing from the prim's inventory and it is not a UUID or it is not a texture then an error is shouted on DEBUG_CHANNEL.
 - If texture is a UUID then there are no new asset permissions consequences for the object.
 - The resulting object develops no new usage restrictions that might have occurred if the asset had been placed in the prims inventory.

Examples
<lsl>llSetPrimitiveParams([ PRIM_SPECULAR, ALL_SIDES, "3a97e824-fd26-1d9f-ffe7-00d0264e6631", <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>, 0.0, <0.275, 0.624, 0.832>, 180, 10]); llSetPrimitiveParams([ PRIM_SPECULAR, ALL_SIDES, llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_TEXTURE, 0), <1.0, 1.0, 0.0>, <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>, 0.0, <1,1,1>, 200, 0]);</lsl>
llGetPrimitiveParams
llGetPrimitiveParams([ PRIM_SPECULAR, integer face ]);
Returns the list [ string texture, vector repeats, vector offsets, float rot, vector specular_color, integer glossiness, integer environment ]
- integer face face number or ALL_SIDES
- string texture a texture in the inventory of the target prim or a UUID of a texture
- vector repeats x and y range from -100.0 to 100.0, in 0.0001 increments. Negative values flip the texture (z is ignored)
- vector offsets x and y range from 0.0 to 1.0, in 0.0001 increments. (z is ignored)
- float rot angle expressed in radians
- vector specular_color specular color, in the range ZERO_VECTOR (black) to <1,1,1> (white)
- integer glossiness glossiness exponent, in the range 0 to 255
- integer environment environmental reflection exponent, in the range 0 to 255
Caveats
 - If face is ALL_SIDES then the PRIM_SPECULAR works on all sides.
 - If face indicates a face that does not exist the PRIM_SPECULAR return is an empty list.
 - repeats is not only used to get the number of repeats but the sign of the individual components indicate if "Flip" is set.
 - With texture as with llGetTexture, NULL_KEY is returned when the owner does not have full permissions to the object and the texture is not in the prim's inventory.
 - If face indicates a face that exists but does not contain a material, the PRIM_SPECULAR return is [ NULL_KEY, <1,1,0>, ZERO_VECTOR, 0.0 <1,1,1>, 51, 0]
 - In the default texture mapping mode the texture repeats units are in texture repeats per face. In the planar texture mapping mode the texture repeats units are in texture repeats per half meter. This is in contrast to the in-world editing tool, in which the planar texture scaling units are repeats per meter.

Target
In the case of llGetPrimitiveParams is either the prim the script resides in, or the prim specified by the immediately prior PRIM_LINK_TARGET call. However in the case of llGetLinkPrimitiveParams, it is either the value of the link parameter, or the prim specified by the immediately prior PRIM_LINK_TARGET call.

Notes
Link Numbers
Each prim that makes up an object has an address, a link number. To access a specific prim in the object, the prim's link number must be known. In addition to prims having link numbers, avatars seated upon the object do as well.
 - If an object consists of only one prim, and there are no avatars seated upon it, the (root) prim's link number is zero.
 - However, if the object is made up of multiple prims or there is an avatar seated upon the object, the root prim's link number is one.
When an avatar sits on an object, it is added to the end of the link set and will have the largest link number. In addition to this, while an avatar is seated upon an object, the object is unable to link or unlink prims without unseating all avatars first.
Counting Prims & Avatars
There are two functions of interest when trying to find the number of prims and avatars on an object.
integer GetPrimCount() { //always returns only the number of prims
 if(llGetAttached())//Is it attached?
 return llGetNumberOfPrims();//returns avatars and prims but attachments can't be sat on.
 return llGetObjectPrimCount(llGetKey());//returns only prims but won't work on attachments.
}
See llGetNumberOfPrims for more about counting prims and avatars.
Errata
If a script located in a child prim erroneously attempts to access link 0, it will get or set the property of the linkset's root prim. This bug (BUG-5049) is preserved for broken legacy scripts.

This brief, modular introduction to social psychology offers streamlined focus on issues such as belief and illusion, prejudice and diversity, and love and hate. The brevity of each of the book's 31 stand-alone modules makes this the perfect text for covering the core concepts in the field. By introducing social psychology in an essay format and by writing in a voice that is both solidly scientific and warmly human, Exploring Social Psychology is able to reveal social psychology as an investigative reporter might, by providing a current summary of important social phenomena, by showing how social psychologists uncover and explain such phenomena, and by reflecting on their human significance. The new edition includes discussion of the Hurricane Katrina aftermath as an illustration of hindsight bias and availability heuristic, the Iraq War and belief perseverance, and terrorism and group polarization.


A CBC News report last winter that detailed how many university students could not accurately answer basic geography questions has inspired some academics to deal with the problem at a meeting in St. John's.
The report showed how some Memorial University students in St. John's could not identify Europe on a map, and some did not even know the name of the ocean that surrounds them.
The report was based on Memorial professor Judith Adler, who says her students consistently have trouble with basic geography.
"After this initial disclosure, other Canadian university professors have come forward, divulging that Memorial University isn't the only institution with geo-illiterate students," said a statement from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, which is meeting this weekend with members of the Canadian Association of Geographers.
The group plans to chart a plan of action to "raise the profile of geography and to underline the importance of geoliteracy."
To that end, we put together the following quiz. Test your own knowledge on questions that run from local to global.


What's the tradition behind wearing pearls for weddings?
Posted on
Since ancient times, pearls have been considered the symbol of unblemished perfection. As such they are a popular choice for bridal jewellery as they are said to be a sign of purity and innocence.
In ancient Rome, the pearl was an indicator of wealth and social standing, while the ancient Greeks associated the pearl with love and marriage and unrivalled beauty. The Greeks also believed the pearl would "take away the bride's tears" ensuring she had a happy and tear-free wedded life.
 Up until the 20th century, pearls were the rarest, most highly-prized and most sought-after jewel in the world and as such only the nobility would have been able to afford them. In the early 1900's pearls became much more common as the process of creating cultured pearls came into practice. In addition to the pearls we all associate with oysters there are also pearls made by other molluscs.
 Freshwater shell and pearl mussels are from the family Unionidae, from which about 20 different species are commercially harvested. Pearl farmers introduce a shell bead into the mussel and the mollusc deposits layers of nacre around the bead. The tones of freshwater cultured pearls are dictated by the mother shell. White is most common, followed by pink. Other colours depend on the type of mussels.
 The tradition of giving pearls to the bride, whether it's a gift from father or groom, continues to this day. Also, many brides today give their bridesmaids gifts of pearls, perhaps a pendant, earrings or bracelet.
And, after many years of married life the Pearl comes into it's own again, as a gift for the 30th Wedding Anniversary.

The printed hat band on this child's straw hat depicts the aeroplane flown by French aviator Louis Bleriot (_PHONE_) on the first flight across the English channel, in July 1909. The flight is significant in aviation history because it was the first time a plane was flown across a large body of water.
The hat is of a popular shape for children in this period. The green petersham edging on the brim of the hat is also used at the centre of the crown. This green ribbon motif is decorated with large silk embroidery stitches, a style of embellishment which was frequently used in women's fashionable dress at the end of the first decade of the 20th century.


Do you abuse your keyboard and mouse when stressed? Microsoft researcher says you aren't alone
Keyboards and mice definitely take abuse. I have witnessed some horrific keyboard conditions -- full of crumbs, dust and lord-knows-what. Not to mention, have you looked in the seams of your mouse lately? There may be a build-up of grime -- yuck! Gamers in particular are known to severely beat the crap out of their input devices when playing a stressful game. Even if it isn't intentional, as a game of Quake 4 heats up, people are known to smash the keys on the keyboard and the buttons on their mouse.
If gamers are known to beat the crap out of their input devices when stressed, what is to say we all don't? In other words, whether writing a paper or editing a spreadsheet under a deadline, maybe the amount of pressure that the person uses can detect stress. Well, Microsoft researcher Mary Czerwinski and her team decided to prove that theory through experimentation. The findings are eye-opening.
But what was found in the study? "During a 30-minute session, 24 participants performed several computerized tasks consisting of expressive writing, text transcription, and mouse clicking. During the stressful conditions, the large majority of the participants showed significantly increased typing pressure (>79 percent of the participants) and more contact with the surface of the mouse (75 percent of the participants). We discuss the potential implications of this work and provide recommendations for future work".
By analyzing the data, the research team makes the following observations:
 - Mondays are typically challenging for workers, in that they may have difficulty diving immediately into work tasks.
 - Mornings are less productive than afternoons.
 - Workers are happiest when they're completing work that is easy, and that doesn't require much concentration or focus.
 - When it comes to mood and productivity, breaks are actually good for employees.
While all of this is well and good, a great study not only tells a story and reveals observations, but provides solutions too. In other words, they have identified that people react physically to input devices when stressed and which tasks and times of day are the most stressful. Now what?
Microsoft researcher Mary Czerwinski says, "there are ways you can design software that would alleviate stress. If you're a software designer or a tech designer, and you're trying to figure out what makes people frustrated and what makes people happy, you're obviously going to design better tools. With pressure-sensitive keyboards, we could harness the signal and make great use of it. I get super excited about increasing users' happiness and the positivity we can bring to design".
Overall, the study is not earth-shattering -- the fact that people react negatively to stress and take it out on their keyboard and mouse is nothing new. However, the concept of utilizing pressure-sensitive devices to detect and track stress has many positive implications for workplace health; both physical and mental.
Do you pound or type harder on your keyboard when stressed? Tell me in the comments.

The use of "Energy CO2 Minimum (ECM)" cement incorporating high amount of blast-furnace slag contributes to reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emission. In this paper, results of experiments which were conducted in the purpose of applying the concrete using the ECM cement for civil engineering structures are presented. The Results of experiments show that the fundamental properties of fresh and hardened ECM concrete with water-cement ratio of 50% are equivalent to those of concrete using blast-furnace cement type B (BB) with water-cement ratio of 55%. In addition, the excellent performance of durability was verified by the tests using large-scale wall members.

Contact Force and Pressure between Tire and Road Using Dual Tires under Different Loads and Inflation Pressures 2008-01-2685
Heavy vehicles commonly use dual tires on their load and traction axles. As the only vehicle component involved in force transmission to the road, the tire is an important element in the road damage process. In this context, two factors involved are the tire's supported load and inflation pressure. Traditional practical assumptions are that each of the tires in dual arrangement supports the same load, and that the contact patch pressure is very similar to the tire's inflation pressure. To provide data about the load distribution and contact pressure in the tire's contact patch, a lab experimental study was carried out. For that, a lab device was used to determine the static load and pressure in the contact patch, using three different sets of heavy duty radial tires subjected to several combinations of supported load and inflation pressure. Results showed that contact force and pressure are uneven in the contact patch, and frequently contact pressure is lower than inflation pressure for the type of tires tested.

This paper considers the difference between how climate change is studied by social scientists and how it is dealt with by people. Social scientists arrived late to the climate change party and began by drawing on particular concepts as a consequence of how the topic was being framed when they got there.
If we understand climate change as an abstract problem with reference to the promotion of concerted societal action, certain techniques naturally become appropriate. Yet, if we understand climate change as an intimate problem with reference to how identified social groups live with outdoor conditions, we might start researching rather differently.
This paper considers what we know about how different groups are coming to live with their local climates and then makes the case for a cultural geography approach to this topic. As a way of framing the discussion, I track the movements of coats around the world. Where are they becoming more prevalent, where are they falling out of use, and what can all this tell us about how we will live with climates of the future?


NIIT (Net Investment Income Tax) is a 3.8% tax on investment income that was passed as part of Obamacare. This tax only applies to investment income if total income is above a threshold that varies based on filing status. For more information, see the IRS website. Following the IRS instructions, US taxpayers are unable to use Foreign Tax Credits (for taxes paid in Australia) to offset NIIT. So Australian taxpayers who are subject to NIIT are paying a Medicare Levy in Australia AND NIIT to fund US health care under Obamacare. This is a clear case of double taxation!
Of interest is this recent post by John Richardson exploring whether the current Australia/US Tax Treaty requires the US to allow a credit against NIIT for taxes paid in Australia.
2 thoughts on "NIIT"
 1. Dual U.S.-Australian nationals living in Australia are exempt from the Unearned Income Medicare Contribution Tax; more commonly known as the Net Investment Income Tax.
 The reason I emphasize the naming difference is critical. If it's an income tax, you would consider foreign tax credits and the income tax treaty. If it's a Medicare tax, it's covered by the U.S.-Australia Totalization Agreement; a separate treaty that addresses social security and Medicare taxes.
 It is most definitely not an income tax. That was a misnomer; a name given to the tax by people that are not qualified to advise on international tax matters. Shockingly, it became the norm, but it does serve to distinguish between international tax practitioners that know what they're talking about and those that don't.

and InterfaceBuilder under MacOS X we will do the same. Obviously, there is a lot to do to improve this editor and we will leave this as an exercise for the reader. Again, this article is not a tutorial!
Here we go.
Open ProjectCenter.app and create a new project called Editor. Choose a Gorm
Application project at the bottom of the window before saving its name.
This will provide you with an Interfaces item in the left column of
Clicking Interfaces displays Editor.gorm. Double-click Editor.gorm and Gorm.app opens. Select the default window (MyWindow) and using the tool inspector change the name to Editor in Attributes.
From the palette, drag a TextView to the Editor window. The TextView is the biggest object found in the selected palette using the rightmost icon at the top of the Palettes window. Resize this object to make it fill the window, and you are done.
Again, using the GormInternalViewEditor inspector (while the TextView is selected), choose Size and change the values to make them match the Editor window size values. These last are obtained in the same way, that is, selecting the window and checking the size in GormNSWindow inspector. If you do not change the X and Y values, for instance, you will not be able to use the full width of the editor, whether you resize the window or not.
Save all in the Gorm Document menu and quit to go back to ProjectCenter. Select the Build icon and click in the new build icon in the second horizontal half of the window. Everything should go well if you defined the right preferences for your compiler, debugger, etc. For example, using FreeBSD, you must change make to gmake (including the path) clicking in the Settings icon of ProjectCenter. Check also the paths from the Preferences menu in ProjectCenter.
If the built succeeded (it should have!), just do the same with Run and you will see the Editor application. Just play with it, writing, cutting, pasting, etc. Obviously, you can restart it later using the openapp command.
How long did it take? Well, I should say a few minutes.
Nothing much to say since you will have to do the same as above. Here is what
it looks like while designing the GUI:
Now we choose another example from Mike Beam. This time is a full working
application, able to manage data: an address book. Mike's tutorial about the
address book (like every other) is recommended reading to understand how the "thing" works.
Also check the tutorial list since Mike provides different steps of the
developing process for one and the same application allowing to improve it.
Again we create and run the application on both GNUstep and MacOS X.
Like you did for the Editor example, start ProjectCenter.app. Select a Gorm
application and call it AddressBook. From ProjectCenter launch Gorm
by double-clicking in Interfaces -> AddressBook.gorm. Drag a
TableView from the palette to the default window. In other words, follow Mike's
tutorial like you would under MacOS X. You will have to adapt a few things since
they work differently in Gorm and in InterfaceBuilder.
For example, the number of columns in the TableView cannot be defined from the attributes inspector in Gorm. To keep things simple, just copy a column and paste it next to it to get the required number (4 in our case). You should end with something like this:
Mike Beam did the whole job: what else could I add?
Obviously, GNUstep development tools cannot be as ahead as Apple's.
Apple and NeXT represent a 15 years old experience with hundreds of developers.
GNUstep is the work (for free) of a few individuals having to do something else
for a living. Accordingly, do not be surprised to find, for instance, much more
available classes in InterfaceBuilder than in Gorm. Remember, Gorm is at version
0.1.9 (or 0.2.0).
Furthermore, we did the tests the "hard" way. That is, we "ported" from OS X to GNUstep. The other way round would have been easier because of the above mentioned differences between the tools.
For example, porting applications developed under MacOS X 10.2 would be much more difficult since the new Apple development tools have much improved. As already said, there are many new available classes or more elaborated ones.
However, the tools rely on the same philosophy whether they work under GNUstep or MacOS X... and GNUstep improves every day. One thing looks very nice to me: GNUstep people really work together. They do help each other when individual projects are concerned and they also contribute in improving GNUstep core. This is the Free Software way of working I like. Congratulations for such a behavior Mr.Fedor and friends.
The goal of this article was to show the power of the GNUstep "RAD" tools,
Gorm.app and ProjectCenter.app. Despite their "youth" they can help you develop
nice applications in a very easy way.
Futhermore, these tools provide a very pleasant way of working while being very efficient. Objective C is a very compact language and, in my opinion, much easier to learn than C++ for someone with C knowledge (I know, I already said so!). This allows to design nice looking applications (well, it is a matter of taste, but I do love this look and feel) while keeping them rather small in size.
I must admit that I never recovered from the shock I received when I first met the NeXT machine. The fact Apple released a modern version of NeXTstep delights me. This is also why I am very fond of projects such as GNUstep or Window Maker. However, if I love free software I am not a "fundamentalist" and accordingly, I am not against proprietary software (well, maybe a bit against a specific editor... but, just a bit!).
GNUstep can benefit from Apple... but Apple can benefit from GNUstep too. GNUstep is not an Apple competitor, it is free software. As far as I know, free software is widely used in OS X. This to say that bringing even more free software to Apple cannot be a bad thing. What Ludovic and friends did with GNUMail.app is a very good example of what could happen.
"I had a dream"... Apple was providing most of its development tools source code to GNUstep. GNUstep and Apple developers were working together to bring great applications to Unix users. And slowly, people were realizing they could live without Windos...
Unfortunately, it was a dream ;-)
Anyway, if you do not know GNUstep and its applications, feel free to give them a try. Remember, GNUstep is a framework and tools such as Gorm and ProjectCenter provide you with everything to create, to invent. In other words, with a bit of imagination, you can develop "products" much different from what we can see nowadays: Windos applications clones!
We are living in a great time!
To the GNUstep people: A.Fedor, N.Pero, G.Casamento, P.Y.Rivaille, N.Roard, L.Marcotte,
R.Frith-Macdonald, P. C.D.Robert, E.Sersale, A.Froloff, F.Kiefer, M.Viviani,
M.Guesdon and all those I forgot
for the very great job either for the framework or for the applications.
To Window Maker people: A.Kojima, D.Pascu and friends for bringing us a free NeXTstep interface for X.
To J.M.Hullot and B.Serlet for inventing InterfaceBuilder.
To "Steve Jobs INC." for bringing us NeXT, NeXTstep and MacOS X.
To all the people not mentioned here having contributed in making our professional life much less sad.

How Many National Parks Are There?
Depends How You Ask
Dec 29, 2022 | By Will Hurd
Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park
8 min read
When it comes to the question of how many national parks there are in the US, the answer isn't as straightforward as you might imagine. It all depends on what you mean by "national park." In this blog, we'll dive into the different definitions and explain why the answer isn't so simple.
There are a few different ways to answer the question, "how many national parks there are in the US?" If you're asking how many national parks in the United States are specifically designated as "national parks" by the National Park Service, the answer is 63. However, in addition to these 63 national parks the National Park Service (NPS) also manages other types of federal lands. If you count all the places that the NPS manages, the number jumps up to 425 as of November 2023.
This larger number includes places that are designated as national monuments, national preserves, national historic sites, national recreation areas, and more. While these places are managed by the NPS, they aren't technically considered "national parks" even though they are often referred to as such.
Before breaking down the different kinds of places managed by the NPS in the national parks system, let me share my favorites.
My Top 5 Favs
I served as the co-chair of the National Parks Caucus when I was in Congress. I represented 8 of America's national parks in my congressional district. These experiences taught me the importance of conserving our nation's natural and cultural heritage for the benefit of current and future generations.
I didn't have the opportunity to visit national parks when I was a kid, but it's something I love to do now. While California has the most national parks, and not every state has a national park, It's easy to find your park near you. Once you do, I guarantee visiting them will become a lifelong passion. Here are my top 5 favorites:
Haleakalā National Park

Haleakalā National Park is located on the island of Maui in Hawaii. It is known for its stunning sunrise views from the summit of Haleakala, a massive volcano. One of the highlights of this park is the chance to see the endangered Hawaiian goose, known as the Nēnē, which can only be found in Hawaii. Another highlight is the opportunity to hike through the park's diverse ecosystems, including subalpine forests and desert-like cinder cones.
The Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site
The Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site in Hyde Park New York
The Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site is located in New York state and is the former home of the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt. One of the highlights of this park is the chance to tour the Roosevelt family home, which has been preserved to look just as it did when the Roosevelts lived there. Another highlight is the opportunity to learn about FDR's life and accomplishments through exhibits and interactive displays.
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
View of the town of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park in West Virginia
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is in West Virginia and is known for its role in American history. One of the highlights of this park is the chance to visit the Armory and Arsenal. It played a key role in arming and equipping the Union army during the Civil War. Another highlight is the opportunity to take a guided tour of the town. It was founded in 1747 and has a rich history of industrialization and abolition.
Big Bend National Park

Of all the 63 National parks in the United States, Big Bend would probably be the one that I have spent the most time in. Big Bend National Park is located in far West Texas where night skies are dark as coal and rivers carve temple-like canyons in ancient limestone. The park is named for the bend in the Rio Grande River. One of the highlights of this park is the opportunity to go rafting or kayaking in the Rio Grande. Another highlight is the chance to see a variety of wildlife, including javelinas, roadrunners, and rattlesnakes.
San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is located in Texas and is home to four Spanish colonial missions that were established in the 18th century. One of the highlights of this park is the chance to visit Mission San Jose. It's known for its beautiful stonework and historic gardens. Another highlight is the Alamo, an important symbol of Texas independence and a place to learn about the history of the missions and the role they played for over 300 years in the development of the region.
The National Park Service (NPS)
We wouldn't have amazing places like Big Bend or the home of FDR if it wasn't for the National Park Service. The NPS was established in 1916 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
Whether it's the smallest national park, Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas or one of the newest national parks like Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park in Georgia, or the largest national park Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve in Alaska, The NPS mission is the same: "preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations."
As an agency of the United States federal government, they are responsible for managing and preserving a collection of 425 national parks, monuments, and other natural and cultural resources. These gems cover more than 85 million acres in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and US territories. Because no two places are alike, they are hard to categorize. This is why the terms used to describe these national treasures are sometimes confusing.
Here, we'll break down the different types of places managed in the national park system by the NPS and provide a few examples of each.

National parks are areas that have been designated by the United States government as protected land. These 63 national treasures are usually chosen for their natural beauty, unique geological features, or historical significance. Some of the most popular national parks include:
- Yellowstone National Park in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming – At Yellowstone National Park you can embark on a journey through Yellowstone's vast wilderness. Geysers erupt with nature's fury. Wildlife roams freely across the rugged landscape. The beauty of the world's first national park unfolds in a symphony of awe-inspiring vistas and serene, starlit nights.
- Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona – At Grand Canyon National Park visitors can stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon's timeless grandeur. Colorful stratum tells a story millions of years old. This vast, majestic chasm beckons adventurers and dreamers alike to ponder the Earth's magnificent splendor.
- Yosemite National Park in California – In Yosemite National Park an explorer gets to wander through Yosemite's enchanting realm, where granite monoliths like El Capitan and Half Dome rise as nature's cathedrals. Waterfalls cascade with thunderous applause, and meadows and forests offer a tranquil retreat from the modern world.
- Sequoia National Park in California – In the land of giants, Sequoia National Park stands supreme. A place where the world's largest trees reach for the skies, creating a living cathedral and a humbling reminder of nature's enduring power and grace.
- Glacier National Park in Montana – Glacier National Park is a realm where the remnants of the Ice Age still sculpt the land. Rugged peaks and reflective lakes whisper tales of ancient times, inviting explorers to witness the raw beauty of a landscape carved by glaciers.

The most significant category of national parks are national monuments. In general, smaller than those outlined above, the 84 members of this category are usually designated as being aimed towards conserving natural, historical, and cultural resources. These include prehistoric camping grounds, secluded campsites, and stunning natural wonders. Some of the most popular national monuments are:
- Lava Bed National Monument in California – Lava Bed National Monument beckons the adventurous to its labyrinth of lava-hole caves. Shadows play on ancient rock and every turn invites discovery in the subterranean wilds.
- Petroglyph National Monument in New Mexico – Nearly 25,000 sculptures etched into volcanic rocks by ancestral Pueblo peoples enchant and mystify visitors to Petroglyph National Monument
- Devil's Tower National Monument in Wyoming – The Devil's Tower National Monument rises solemnly above the rolling prairie. It's a monolithic testament to Earth's volcanic past and inspires awe as America's first national monument.
- Muir Woods National Monument in California – You will find a sanctuary of serenity among the towering redwoods in Muir Woods National Monument. The quiet grandeur of ancient groves whispers the secrets of millennia in the cool, mist-laden air.

Education and University Projects
Zervas Elementary School
The Town of Newton Massachusetts recently completed (2017) a three story 67,000 square foot academic building to replace the single story 1950's era classroom building as the preferred design option under the MSBA funding guidelines.
The structure is a steel frame with concrete floor slabs and foundations with a construction budget of $23 million. The challenging urban site required the foundations to bear on a rammed aggregate pier system and floor to floor heights to be minimized to allow the three story school to blend in without overpowering the residential neighborhood of Newton.
Frank H. Netter MD School Quinnipiac University
Challenge with a capital Q. Transform a 1970's office park into a state of the art medical facility for Quinnipiac University. The second phase of the North Haven campus master plan created space in the existing 200,000 square foot three story office building for classrooms, lecture halls, gross anatomy lab and support spaces.
An addition was also fit over and between the previously renovated and in use School of Health Science. Building Information Modeling was used to coordinate the new structure with existing building components and new Architecture and MEP systems to create spaces for a medical library, lecture hall and student lounge spaces.
Girard and Company provides structural engineering for a variety of educational projects serving both private and public agencies in Pre-K through 12 schools and secondary education markets.
We have extensive experience in both Connecticut and Massachusetts public schools with a comprehensive understanding of the state review processes and the ability to produce documents for fast track schedules that often require foundations and primary structural systems to be completed months ahead of the rest of the design team documents.
In the collegiate and private education markets, we provide our services for various building uses, from new construction projects to renovations and additions for residential housing, academic classrooms, athletic facilities, and campus infrastructure. Girard and Company is proud to have multiple projects at Western New England University, Quinnipiac University, Berkshire School, and The Rectory School.
Below are a few of our notable projects in the Education market.

Most people in the world use them as servants and household aids. Most Sent however are used in the military die to their naturally affinity to magic and independent thinking.
ManufacturingMost of the time, Saux are made with a type of stone that is naturraly magically charged. It was found that this stone holds magic fairly well, but often there were a lot of spirits round the stone as well. Once it's excavated, it is brought to magicians that specialize in enchantment to refine the magic of the stone. Then it is worked on by local artisans, and then finally brought to magicians that specialize in necromancy to create the Macha.
- Access & Availability
- They aren't cheap, but they are fairly common everywhere as the technology has become fairly universal. Proficient magicians may even buy empty Saux and preform the ritual themselves to save some money. Of course sent are a good deal more expensive and rarer than demisent.
- While these types of artifacts existed before they were officially called Saux, they were only fairly recently researched and manufactured in the year 554 SRH.

French cement producers plan to increase the use of alternative fuels from 44 % of the fuel mix to 50 %, by 2025. To support this initiative, they aim, in collaboration with construction and recycling trade organisations, to double the amount of wood waste used in the energy supply of cement plants. The part of the wood demolition waste that is not recovered but simply landfilled as there is no recycling option, represents 500 ktpa. French cement producers plan to increase energy substitution by using 90 ktpa of those. In this context, a Green Deal has been signed by the French Ministry for Environment, the French Ministry for Industry, and the project stakholders.
Main activity field:
- Development of biomass use in cement industry;
- Reduction of fossil fuel consumption;
- Reduction of CO2 emissions;
- Reduction of landfilling.

The conventional definition of temperature seasonality is the difference between the annual maximum and minimum temperatures (figure to the left).
Plant growth in the North does not depend on these two extreme values - it depends on the seasonal cycle of temperature above some threshold (figure to the right).
Therefore, we define temperature seasonality as the inverse of the cumulative value (shaded region) in the figure to the right.
Both definitions when based on temperature values averaged over a latitudinal belt around the Earth (50N to 65N in the figures above) are a function of Sun-Earth geometry only, i.e. Earth's axial tilt and Orbit around the Sun. Thus, we expect no time trends in seasonality during our study period (100+ years) due to changes in sunlight and day length.

Kurzfassung Software itself and the contexts, it is used in, typically evolve over time. Analyzing and ensuring security of evolving software systems in contexts, that are also evolving, poses many difficulties. In my thesis I declared a number of goals and propose processes for the elicitation of attacks, their prerequisites and mitigating security patterns for a given architecture model and for annotation of it with security-relevant information. I showed how this information can be used to analyze the systems security, in regards of modeled attacks, using an attack validity algorithm I specify. Process and algorithm are used in a case study on CoCoME in order to show the applicability of each of them and to analyze the fulfillment of the previously stated goals. Security catalog meta-models and instances of catalogs containing a number of elements have been provided.

Problem of the Week
Problem C
Step by Step
Debit and credit cards contain account numbers which consist of many digits. When purchasing items online, you are often asked to type in your account number. Because there are so many digits, it is easy to type the number incorrectly. The last digit of the number is a specially generated check digit which can be used to quickly verify the validity of the number. A common algorithm used for verifying numbers is called the Luhn Algorithm. A series of operations are performed on the number and a final result is produced. If the final result ends in zero, the number is valid. Otherwise, the number is invalid.
The steps performed in the Luhn Algorithm are outlined in the flowchart below. Two examples are provided.
The flowchart for the algorithm with the steps outlined in the adjacent text.
Example 1:
Number: \(135792\)
Reversal: \(\textcolor{red}{2}9\textcolor{red}{7}5\textcolor{red}{3}1\)
\(\begin{aligned} A&=\textcolor{red}{2+7+3}\\ &=12\\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} 2\times9&=18\\ 2\times5&=10\\ 2\times1&=2\\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} B&=(1+8)+(1+0)+2\\ &=9+1+2\\ &=12\\ \end{aligned}\)
\(C\) does not end in zero.
The number is not valid.
Example 2:
Number: \(_PHONE_\)
Reversal: \(\textcolor{red}{7}8\textcolor{red}{9}7\textcolor{red}{5}3\textcolor{red}{1}\)
\(\begin{aligned} A&=\textcolor{red}{7+9+5+1}\\ &=22\\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} 2\times8&=16\\ 2\times7&=14\\ 2\times3&=6\\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} B&=(1+6)+(1+4)+6\\ &=7+5+6\\ &=18\\ \end{aligned}\)
\(C\) ends in zero.
The number is valid.
The number \(1953\,R8T9\,467\) is a valid card number when verified by the Luhn Algorithm.
\(R\) and \(T\) are each single digits of the number such that \(R\) is less than \(T\). Determine all possible values of \(R\) and \(T\).

The rose in the space
This small territory of the Genoese hinterland, the Scrivia river valley, has a special connection with Space. Busalla, main hub of the Scrivia Valley, is the town where Franco Malerba, the first Italian astronaut, was born. He participated in a mission in space in 1992 aboard the shuttle Atlantis as Payload Specialist. Today Franco Malerba is once more with as the organizer and mastermind of the Busalla Space Festival (_URL_), a successful event of popular science, open to all, dedicated to space exploration.
The Space Festival, held every year in Valle Scrivia with the support of the space industries and the Italian national institutions, contributes to broaden the boundaries of knowledge and motivate young people to engage in the study of scientific subjects, without losing sight of the values of their origins.
All the speakers attending the Festival are given a souvenir of engraved slate from Cicagna, a bottle of excellent white GAVI Docg wine and a small bottle of rose syrup from Camporotondo.
This symbolic "space bond" of the Scrivia Valley Rose was renewed and reinforced by the astronaut Paolo Nespoli, who took a banner of the Rose aboard the International Space Station during his third space mission in 2017 and sent a video down to Earth, to the Festival, as a sign of appreciation of the Festival and endorsement of the Rose. The video of the rose floating in weightlessness in the ISS Cupola, while flying around the Planet, is an extraordinary debut in space for the Scrivia Valley Rose.

Router data as components inputs in Angular v16
Router data as components inputs is a new feature coming in Angular 16. In this article, we will explore how it works, and learn how to use it.
Router data as components inputs in Angular v16
Up until now, we have considered properties decorated with @Input as properties bound to the DOM properties. These properties can be used to pass data from parent to child. For instance, if a child component has an input property called name, we can use it like this:
<app-child name="John"></app-child>
Starting from Angular version 16, we can use inputs to declare properties that will bind to route parameters.
What does this mean? Let's consider the following route definition:
const routes: Routes = [
 {
 path: 'hero/:id',
 component: ChildComponent,
 },
];
When we need to obtain the ID in our component, such as when fetching a hero using its ID, we would do the following in the component:
export class ChildComponent {
 constructor(route: ActivatedRoute) {
 route.params.subscribe((params) => console.log(params.id));
 }
}
Now we can use @Input for that. It's as simple as that.
export class ChildComponent {
 @Input() id: string;
}
That's not all! We can access variety of route parameters, including:
 - route parameters
 - query parameters
 - route data from data property
 - route data from resolvers
Let's quickly check the rest, starting from this route definition:
const routes: Routes = [
 {
 path: 'hero/:id',
 component: ChildComponent,
 resolve: {
 heroName: () => 'Yoda',
 },
 data: {
 heroPower: 'Force',
 },
 },
];
We have
 - id as route parameter
 - heroName as data from resolver
 - heroPower as data from data property
In the component, we can add input properties for all of these, as well as an additional one for a query parameter, as follows:
export class ChildComponent {
 @Input() id?: string;
 @Input() heroName?: string;
 @Input() heroPower?: string;
 @Input() heroParameter?: string;
}
That's it! Everything works automatically, and input properties pick up the current route parameters without the need for injecting ActivatedRoute into the component anymore.
Have fun and enjoy Angular 16 features! 🤓


How to remove the default style automatically added by the browser when the form is automatically filled in chrome _ javascript tips
Source: Internet
Author: User
Many of my friends have this problem: when chrome browser forms are automatically filled, the default style will be automatically added. How can I remove the default style? Let's take a look at how small series are removed. If you need to learn it together, I. The reason for this problem is that the background image is added to the input form when the account logon page is written. When it is automatically filled, the rubbing of a yellow background came out.
This is because I mistakenly set it directly in the input element, and the result is incorrect. Therefore, if you place this icon outside the input form, this problem will not occur.
Ii. How to deal with and avoid adding the default browser style when the form is automatically filled
In the second figure, chrome adds the private property of input:-webkit-autofill to the automatically filled input form by default after the form is automatically filled.
input:-webkit-autofill, textarea:-webkit-autofill, select:-webkit-autofill { background-color: rgb(250, 255, 189); /* #FAFFBD; */ background-image: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);}
As you can see, add the code above. I will think of a solution that uses style overwrite. I can use it all! Improve the priority of important. But there is a problem. Add! Important cannot overwrite the original background or font color. Except for chrome's default definition of background-color, background-images, color cannot be used.
! Important increases the priority. Other attributes can be used to increase the priority.
Input:-webkit-autofill, textarea:-webkit-autofill, select:-webkit-autofill {background-color: # FFFFFF; background-image: none; color: #333; /*-webkit-text-fill-color: red; // This private property is valid */} input:-webkit-autofill: hover {/* style code */} input:-webkit-autofill: focus {/* style code */}
There are two ideas: 1. fix bugs by patching. 2. Disable the built-in browser filling form function
Scenario 1: The input text box contains a solid background.
Solution:
input:-webkit-autofill { -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 1000px white inset; -webkit-text-fill-color: #333;}
Scenario 2: The input text box uses the image background.
Solution:
If (navigator. userAgent. toLowerCase (). indexOf ("chrome")> = 0) {var _ interval = window. setInterval (function () {var autofills = $ ('input:-webkit-autofill '); if (autofills. length> 0) {window. clearInterval (_ interval); // stop polling autofills. each (function () {var clone = $ (this ). clone (true, true); $ (this ). after (clone ). remove () ;}}, 20 );}
First, determine whether it is chrome. If yes, traverse the input:-webkit-autofill element, and then perform operations such as value, append, and remove. This method does not work !!
In the end, I did not use the icon as the background image of the input form. Instead, I wrote another label and took the icon out of the form.
Thought 2: Disable the browser's built-in filling form function
Set the form attribute autocomplete = "off/on" to close the auto-fill form and remember the password.
Before it is automatically filled, the small icon in This mailbox is the background image of the inpu form.
After filling, the mailbox icon is overwritten by the browser's default Style
Finally,
If you do not want to add the default style when the form is automatically filled in the chrome browser, put this small icon out of the Form. Because it is an input box
There is only border-bottom. If the input box has a border, you may need to use a p border to pretend to be the border of the input box, and then the input box is made without a border.
Input box like this
By using the above method, you can solve the problem of automatically adding default styles to your browser. You can refer to this article with confidence.
