Rocky Hill Castle
|Rocky Hill Castle|
Rocky Hill Castle in 1935
|Built for||James Edmonds Saunders|
|Architectural style(s)||Greek Revival, Italianate and Gothic Revival|
Rocky Hill Castle, also known simply as Rocky Hill, was a historic plantation and plantation house between Town Creek and Courtland, Alabama, United States. Once famed in Alabama for its architecture, it was an unusual mixing of neoclassical and picturesque aesthetics in one plantation complex. The house and tower suffered from neglect during much of the 20th century and were subsequently demolished in the 1960s. Much folklore surrounds the site, with Rocky Hill Castle being the subject of numerous ghost stories. The most notable story, "The Ghost of the Angry Architect", was published in Kathryn Tucker Windham and Margaret Gillis Figh's 1969 work 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey.
The plantation at Rocky Hill Castle was founded by James Edmonds Saunders in the mid-1820s, shortly after he and his wife came to Alabama from their native Georgia. Saunders, born on May 7, 1806, was a planter and attorney.
He established his plantation 4 miles (6.4 km) from that of his father, Turner Saunders, and his Saunders Hall plantation. In the years after coming to Lawrence County Saunders practiced law in nearby Courtland. He eventually amassed 640 acres (260 ha), centered on the hill that his house sat upon.
Desiring a grander dwelling, Saunders demolished this earlier house and began building Rocky Hill Castle in 1858. The American Civil War put an end to construction in 1861, although the estate was largely complete by that time. The house served as Confederate hospital during the war, with several soldiers buried nearby in the Saunders' family cemetery.
The plantation passed through many owners following the death of James Saunders in 1896. The last Saunders to own it was James Saunder's grandson, Dr. Dudley Saunders. Dr. Saunders and his family are alleged to have abruptly abandoned Rocky Hill Castle in the 1920s, purportedly after ghostly activity.
Regardless of the accuracy of those events, the plantation was purchased from Dr. Saunders in the 1920s by H.D. Bynum and R.E. Tweedy, who used the farmland but did not reside in the house. This started a long period of decline for the house, which eventually became ruinous. It was finally demolished by a new owner, Gordon McBride, in 1961, after he and his wife had salvaged what they could for their new house in Decatur.
Rocky Hill Castle was built from 1858 to 1861, utilizing a combination of the Greek Revival and Italianate architectural styles. The architect of the main house is unknown, although at least one of the ghost stories alleges that it was a gentleman of French extraction. The two-story house was a rectangular stuccoed brick structure over a raised basement. It featured one-story side wings, one-story Doric porticoes centered on the front and rear, and was topped by a large cupola.
Connected to the house complex on the western side by a high brick wall was a five-story brick Gothic Revival tower crowned with crenelation. The connecting wall was pierced by a Tudor arch. The wall and octagonal tower have been traditionally linked to an itinerant craftsman from Wales, Hugh Jones. The tower, as well as the adjoining brick kitchen building, contained rooms used to house the Saunders' slaves.
The interior of the house featured some of the most elaborate woodwork and plasterwork in the state. Other features of the house were an impressive walnut staircase, double parlors and Italian marble mantles.

Context recognition is an essential aspect of intelligent systems and environments. In most cases, the recognition of a context of interest cannot be achieved in a single step. Between measuring a physical phenomenon and the estimation or recognition of what this phenomenon represents, there are several intermediate stages which require a significant computation. Understanding the resource requirements of these steps is vital to determine the feasibility of context recognition on a given device. In this paper, we propose an adaptive context-recognition architecture that accommodates uncertain knowledge to deal with sensed data. The architecture consists of an adaptation component that monitors the capability and workload of a device and dynamically adapts recognition accuracy and processing time. The architecture is implemented for an audio-based context recognition. A detail account of the tradeoff between recognition time and recognition accuracy is provided.

What is an RPM?
an RPM defined
RPM is an abbreviation for Revolutions Per Minute. In the automotive industry the term RPM is used when referring to a motor vehicle's engine speed. The tachometer is an instrument that is able to measure the speed of rotation of the internal combustion engine's crankshaft at a given moment. The rate of rotation of an internal combustion engine's crankshaft varies on how much power is required from the combustion process. Therefore RPM is the amount of revolutions the crankshaft in an internal combustion engine experiences in 1 minute.
The faster the engine's crankshaft rotates, the higher the RPM will be. And generally speaking, the faster the crankshaft rotates, the closer you'll get be to an engines maximum torque and horsepower output.
Technology and engine design is improving all the time. As a result, the internal combustion engines are becoming – not only more powerful – but the engine crankshafts are able to rotate/spin at higher speeds more smoothly and safely. Eight thousand rpm is a limit becoming common place for a number of engine designs to spin their crankshaft freely up to. It might just be a matter of time before passenger cars will run freely to 10 000 rpm and beyond – territory currently reserved for racing cars. We hope that helps answer the question 'What is What is an RPM?'!

Roskilde Viking Ship Museum – Roskilde, Denmark - Atlas Obscura
Roskilde Viking Ship Museum
Roskilde, Denmark
While most of these majestic sea giants are on display inside, at least one is afloat in the Roskilde Fjord, and just in case you were wondering if dreams really do come true? Yes, they will take you for a boat ride. In fact, they'll even let you steer.
The ships at the Viking Ship Museum in the Danish city of Roskilde may be above the waves now, but until 1962, they were decaying at the bottom of the icy depths in Skuldelev. Known now as the Skuldelev ships, these ancient vessels were five in total: two cargo ships, a long-cargo/fishing ship, and two warships. Products of the 11th century, the ships were determined to be the remains of ships that were sunk deliberately to act as an underwater shield, defending Skuldelev from attacks by sea.
The museum (along with the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo) is a nautical enthusiast's paradise. The five hulking restorations are the main attraction, but the museum is rich with seafaring artifacts and displays, and there is a strong representation of the art of boatbuilding, including an option to buy your very own handmade wooden boat to take home. Due to the heavy focus on building, this particular viking museum is known for having the most skilled crew out there, when it comes to reconstruction.
One of the more exciting offerings in vikingland is the museum's full-day "Learn to Sail a Viking Ship" course. Focusing on practical sailing practices, participants learn the basics for sailing a square sail, a very different experience from today's modern sails, a challenge for both experienced and novice sailors. Along with an opportunity to learn the ropes, the museum also offers a children's museum, a restaurant and cafe, and interactive displays of the three inside boats, the ones not currently afloat on the harbor.

Graph grammar has been widely applied in many scientific areas. However, designing graph grammar is very challenging for users without strong computer science background. This paper presents a graphical user interface (GUI) for designing graph grammars following an edge-based context-sensitive graph grammar formalism, EGG. This GUI significantly eases graph grammar design, especially for users unfamiliar with the grammar format.

Lightweight Text Input in LWUIT (TextField) & AutoComplete
TextField has landed! LWUIT now features a real lightweight text field component that can accept arbitrary input and can be configured for additional languages/features.
This is the first version so bugs are to be expected but the basics seem to be working and the ability to "jump" into the native text box allow us to support everything including T9.
What is the use case for TextField and why should you care?
First: for username/password sort of input fields this is far more intuitive than the alternative of jumping to the native text box...
Second: You can listen to change events and do "cool stuff"!
What sort of stuff?
Hows about an address book where typing in the name of the recipient narrows down the list as you type?
As you can see in the pictures bellow typing c followed by k (its really typing 2 three times and 5 twice which caused the list to "jump" a bit) narrowed down the list to the only two names with "ck" in their names (case insensitive). All of that while the fish keeps swimming ;-)
This functionality requires a few very cool LWUIT tricks including both text field manipulation and a proxy filtering model. To narrow down the list as seen in the pictures we install a special list model that can reduce the element count on the fly, this is one way of pulling this trick off without too much effort!
This is the code for the text field and as you can see its trivial:
Form test = new Form("Address Book");
test.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
final TextField field = new TextField();
final ListModel underlyingModel = new DefaultListModel(new String[] {"Jack", "Kate", "Sawyer",
"Sayid", "Hurley", "Jin", "Sun", "Charlie", "Claire", "Aaron",
"Michael", "Walt", "Boone", "Shannon", "Locke", "Mr. Eko",
"Ana-Lucia", "Libby", "Desmond", "Benjamin Linus", "Juliet Burke" });
// this is a list model that can narrow down the underlying model
final FilterProxyListModel proxyModel = new FilterProxyListModel(underlyingModel);
List people = new List(proxyModel);
test.addComponent(BorderLayout.NORTH, field);
test.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER, people);
field.addDataChangeListener(new DataChangedListener() {
public void dataChanged(int type, int index) {
proxyModel.filter(field.getText());
}
});
test.show();
The filter proxy essentially implements the proxy pattern (or decorator if you are the type whose finicky about patterns) and exposes the list items that fall into the defined constraint, notice that it delegates all the heavy lifting to the underlying model.
This code really highlights the importance and power of MVC in the long run... For a small application MVC might cost in size, but once we start building large applications the ability to reuse programming concepts actually reduces code size and development time making MVC really appropriate for embedded devices!
class FilterProxyListModel implements ListModel, DataChangedListener {
private ListModel underlying;
private Vector filter;
private Vector listeners = new Vector();
public FilterProxyListModel(ListModel underlying) {
this.underlying = underlying;
underlying.addDataChangedListener(this);
}
private int getFilterOffset(int index) {
if(filter == null) {
return index;
}
if(filter.size() > index) {
return ((Integer)filter.elementAt(index)).intValue();
}
return -1;
}
private int getUnderlyingOffset(int index) {
if(filter == null) {
return index;
}
return filter.indexOf(new Integer(index));
}
public void filter(String str) {
filter = new Vector();
str = str.toUpperCase();
for(int iter = 0 ; iter < underlying.getSize() ; iter++) {
String element = (String)underlying.getItemAt(iter);
if(element.toUpperCase().indexOf(str) > -1) {
filter.addElement(new Integer(iter));
}
}
dataChanged(DataChangedListener.CHANGED, -1);
}
public Object getItemAt(int index) {
return underlying.getItemAt(getFilterOffset(index));
}
public int getSize() {
if(filter == null) {
return underlying.getSize();
}
return filter.size();
}
public int getSelectedIndex() {
return Math.max(0, getUnderlyingOffset(underlying.getSelectedIndex()));
}
public void setSelectedIndex(int index) {
underlying.setSelectedIndex(getFilterOffset(index));
}
public void addDataChangedListener(DataChangedListener l) {
listeners.addElement(l);
}
public void removeDataChangedListener(DataChangedListener l) {
listeners.removeElement(l);
}
public void addSelectionListener(SelectionListener l) {
underlying.addSelectionListener(l);
}
public void removeSelectionListener(SelectionListener l) {
underlying.removeSelectionListener(l);
}
public void addItem(Object item) {
underlying.addItem(item);
}
public void removeItem(int index) {
underlying.removeItem(index);
}
public void dataChanged(int type, int index) {
if(index > -1) {
index = getUnderlyingOffset(index);
if(index < 0) {
return;
}
}
for(int iter = 0 ; iter < listeners.size() ; iter++) {
((DataChangedListener)listeners.elementAt(iter)).dataChanged(type, index);
}
}
}

 1. Hi,Shai:
 Could you tell me how to realize handwriting input? Can LWUIT do it?
 ReplyDelete
 2. Hi Shai, I think there is an error in your code in the line:
 List people = new List(proxyModel);
 It says that it can't find the constructor.
 ReplyDelete
 3. @Eric, handwriting is recognized by the native text box component.
 @linuca, there is no error. Your filter needs to implement the list model interface as is shown in the code bellow.
 ReplyDelete
 4. Sorry Shai, I just realized that I was using javax.microedition.lcdui.List instead of com.sun.lwuit.List. Perhaps you should add the imports for newbies like me :P.
 ReplyDelete
 5. This was discussed in the forum. The static variables stand for the defaults only you can replace anything using the setters for input mode and their order. This should all be specified in the JavaDoc.
 ReplyDelete
 6. Hi shai
 how are u?
 this s working fine with single text field search.
 but i faced one issue.
 that issue is focus is not working properly when im using two text field with this searching technique in a single form. list showing properly. but focus is not focused on that text fields.
 im using setFocus(true) method.

 7. @Germán I don't understand the question.
 @bharath The code isn't designed for two lists, I can't quite visualize what you are trying to do.

 8. Hi..thxs but the problem has been dissaper...One year is enough to resolve it lol
 But thanks again :)

 9. Hi, Shai.
 Thank you for the nice sample. The only thing i would like to add is a timer inside dataChanged().
 When you work with large data arrays or in case of more sophisticated processing it can be usefull.
 So, something like this:
 public void dataChanged(int type, int index) {
 if(null == inputTimer)
 inputTimer = new Timer();
 else
 inputTimer.cancel();
 inputTimer = new Timer();
 inputTimer.schedule(new TimerTask()
 {
 public void run() {
 proxyModel.filter (field.getText());
 }
 }, field.getCommitTimeout());}

Maintain Security Roles
Setting up Security in Liberty is extremely important. Unrestricted access to all elements of the software gives employees the ability to view sensitive customer data, the ability to alter settings that impact financial transactions, and the ability to make large-scale changes that may be not only undesirable, but difficult to undo. Setting up security properly protects both your customers and your entire organization. The robust security system in Liberty allows for you control access to information, features, and settings.
By assigning security roles to the different areas of Liberty, you can then set up users in the Maintain Users (Setup > Security > Maintain Users) dialog and assign each user an appropriate security role. Security roles and user accounts let you give some employees full access, while giving others restricted access. For example, you could restrict certain users to only have the ability to add new accounts and new items to Liberty.
You can set the security roles to any components in the Maintain Security Actions dialog area. When you have finished setting the security roles, set up user accounts.
How Security Roles Work
Users in the Liberty software are assigned roles. These different roles will define what they have access to within the software. Liberty also has actions. Each action is assigned a role. If an employee is part of a role, that is also assigned to an specific action, then that employee can do that action.
Example: Employees John and Nancy both work for the store. John's duties include stocking shelves, taking in inventory brought in by consignors, and organizing the warehouse. His role is a Stocker. Nancy helps customers cash out their good, and pays consignors for items that have sold. Nancy's role is a Cashier. A customer comes to the counter and wants to use a coupon for a purchase. The action of using Coupons at the Point Of Sale has been assigned the role of Cashiers. Nancy would be able to apply the coupon to the sale because she is a Cashier, however John would not since he is a Stocker, and the action of applying coupons is restricted to Cashiers.
Creating Security Roles
1.Select Setup > Security > Maintain Security Roles.
The Maintain Security Roles dialog box will open.
2.Click the Add button to create a new role.
3.When the new role dialog box opens, enter the name of the new role.
4.If you want this role to be active, then leave the Active check box checked, and click the OK button when done.
The new role will be added to the list.
How To Edit An Existing Role
1.To edit a role you can click the edit button, or double click the role to open the details of that role.
2.When the details box opens you can either change the name of the role or make it inactive.
3.Press the OK button when done.

Note: It is not necessary to create any sort of "Everyone" role for actions that should be accessible to any authenticated user. Any Security Actions that aren't associated with one or more Roles will automatically be accessible to everyone.

Background: Autologous fat grafting is currently undergoing a renaissance. However, fat grafts are limited by unpredictable survival. Poloxamers can act as tissue surfactants. These nonionic surfactants have been shown to stabilize the membranes of damaged cells and to protect against injury and apoptosis in numerous models. This study was designed to investigate the ability of poloxamers to protect harvested adipocytes and to increase fat graft survival.
Methods: Lipoaspirate was obtained from surgical patients. Samples were washed in normal saline, centrifuged at 200 g, treated with various poloxamers or poloxamer components for 30 minutes, centrifuged at 200 g, and implanted into the flanks of nude mice in 1.0-cc, 1.0-g lobules. The grafts were explanted serially for 10 days and at 6 weeks. Endpoints were weight, apoptosis, cell viability, DNA content, and histology.
Results: Grafts treated with poloxamers P188, F108, and F127 demonstrated increased graft survival by weight. Fat grafts treated with poloxamers L64 and P188 demonstrated improvement in cell viability, and those treated with poloxamers L64, P188, and F38 demonstrated improved histology. P188-treated grafts demonstrated a 50 percent reduction in apoptosis compared with saline-treated controls (p < 0.05) and an overall 72 percent survival by weight at 6 weeks. P188 demonstrated statistically significant improvement by weight, DNA content, histology, and cell viability (89 percent versus 33 percent).
Conclusions: The authors demonstrate that poloxamers, with membrane-sealing capability, can increase graft survival. Among these poloxamers, P188 demonstrated statistically significant improvement in apoptosis, graft survival by weight, cell viability, DNA content, and histology.

Hot and Cold Ideal Gases Documents
This material has 2 associated documents. Select a document title to view a document's information.
The EJS Hot and Cold Ideal Gases model simulates the mixing of hot and cold two-dimensional ideal gases in a square box. This simulation can be used as part of the activity described in "The Statistical Interpretation of Entropy: An Activity" by Todd Timberlake, to be published in The Physics Teacher.
In the model, one gas is initially confined to the left side of the box while the other gas is confined to the right side. An animation window shows the motion of the particles in the box, while an optional graph window plots the temperature of each side of the box, which is determined by measuring the average KE of the particles on each side. The initial number of particles and temperature on each side of the square can be changed and a button allows the user to reverse the particle velocities at any time. The user can modify this simulation if EJS is installed locally by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.
EJS Hot and Cold Ideal Gases model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_entropy_HotAndColdIdealGases.jar file will run the program if Java is installed. EJS is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models. Additional EJS models are available. They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or EJS.

It can be much more reasonable in your price and more fun to make on your own. If you decide to make it at home you will need materials, decide a color, directions, and important information about playdough.
There are certain materials that you will need in order to make playdough. Most people will have these materials around their house. However, if you don't you can easily find them at your local store. You will need 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, food coloring, sauce pan,and 1 cup of flavor.Lastly you will need ½ cup of salt and 1 tablespoon of cream and tartar sauce.
combine water,oil,salt,cream and tartar sauce,and food coloring in the saucepan and heat until it is warm.
2.Remove from heat and add flower.
3.Stir then knead till smooth.The cream and tartar sauce makes the dough last 6 months or longer.So reset the temptation to omit this ingredient if you don't have it on hand.
4.Store this dough in an airtight container or a ziploc freezer bag.
These will be the directions to making the play dough.
If you are making play dough you might want to have a color because if you don't you will have boring play dough.You can color it by using kool aid and you can also use food coloring.
important information about playdough
play dough is not good for children under three years old.If you are allergic to any of these ingredients Id recommend not playing with it or making it. vegetable oil,salt,cream and tartar,and also food coloring.The cream and tartar sauce make the play dough last longer.Keep away from dogs and other pets.play dough smells like people food but contains lots of salt,and a hungry dog can eat enough to cause a dangers salt imbalance.
Now you have learned everything you need to know about how to make play dough.You have learned the materials,directions,The color and lastly important information about playdough.Now all you need to do is have fun with your play dough.

Initializing the Peripheral Trigger Generator
To initialize the PTG the following steps should be considered:
Initialize the MCU Peripherals
The Peripheral Trigger Generator (PTG) coordinates and sequences events between selected peripherals. The PTG works with the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), the Output Compare/Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) module, all General Purpose Timers, and the MCU's Interrupt Controller.
The mechanisms used to coordinate peripheral activities are triggers and Interrupt Requests (IRQs). The PTG can be programmed to either output a trigger, or to generate a PTG IRQ, based upon a trigger received from another peripheral. Successful sequencing depends upon careful coordination of the initialization of the PTG and PTG-monitored peripherals. Peripherals used in PTG sequences must be programmed to accept the appropriate PTG trigger(s) and, when needed, send a trigger to the PTG.
Example of Coordinating Trigger Assignments
The PTG on the dsPIC33EP256GP506 is capable of sending a trigger to the Output Compare (OC) module. This PTG-generated trigger can serve as the OC module's clock or sync signal. The OC module can also generate a trigger signal for the PTG to monitor. The OC module generated trigger is seen by the PTG as either OC1 or OC2 trigger.
To allow a PTG generated trigger to be the clock source for the OC module, OCxCON1 must be programmed.
OCxCON2 can be programmed to allow a PTG generated trigger to synchronize the OC module. For sequences in which the PTG generates IRQ, it is imperative that the MCU's interrupt controller be initialized so that the PTG IRQs are enabled.
Please consult the datasheet for the MCU you are using to verify the initialization requirements.
Accessing PTG Registers
In addition to the registers needed to implement the queue, the Peripheral Trigger Generator (PTG) is controlled by twelve Special Function Registers (SFRs). Although initializing twelve SFRs may appear a daunting task, it is important to realize that not all of the SFRs may need to be initialized. The default settings for the PTG SFRs are non-intrusive. If an SFR controls a parameter not specifically used in a sequence, that SFR does not need to be initialized for the sequence to execute properly.
The PTG SFRs are divided into five categories:
Control and Status Registers
PTGCST Provides overall control and status reporting for the PTG, including Enable/Disable, Start/Stop, and Trigger output type (Toggle or Pulse). This is the only register that can be accessed while the PTG is enabled.
PTGCON Determines the values used for many of the PTG timing parameters such as the clock source, any prescalers on the clock, and the width of the output triggers when the triggers are in Pulse mode. This register also controls the value of the PTG's Watchdog timer which limits the time the PTG will wait for a trigger.
Limit Registers
PTGT0LIM Determines the limit value for PTG Timer 0. Used by PTGCTRL to delay or pause the sequence.
PTGT1LIM Determines the limit value for PTG Timer 1. Used by PTGCTRL to delay or pause the sequence.
PTGSDLIM Sets the number of PTG clock cycles allocated to each step command. Using this register can slow down the speed in which PTG step commands are executed. The use of this Delay timer can be enabled or disabled with the PTGCTRL command.
PTGC0LIM Used to specify the loop count for the PTGJMP0 command.
PTGC1LIM Used to specify the loop count for the PTGJMP1 command
Hold and Adjust Registers
PTGHOLD Used by the PTGCOPY command, this register holds the value to be moved into one of the Limit registers or into the PTG Literal register (PTGL0).
PTGADJ Used by the PTGADD command, this register holds a value to be added to one of the Limit registers or the PTG Literal register (PTGL0).
Literal and Broadcast Registers
PTGL0 Holds a value to be written into the ADC1 channel select register (AD1CHS0). Only used by the PTGCTRL command. AD1CHS0 can also be written with the PTGSTRB command.
PTGBTE When the application wishes to simultaneously broadcast triggers to more than one peripheral (PTGCTRL command with OPTION = 0b1111), this register contains the list of triggers to generate.
PTG Queue Registers
PTGQPTR Points to the current step command being executed. When the PTG is enabled, this register is set to the first entry in the step queue.
These registers are the queue in which the step commands are located.
To prevent unintentional modifications to PTG operations caused by spurious writes to the PTG SFRs, the PTG Status and Control Register (PTGCST) is the only register that can be written to while the PTG is enabled. To modify PTG SFRs, other than PTGCST, you must ensure that the PTG is disabled (i.e. verify PTGCST<15> = 0).
Initializing the Limit, Hold, and Adjust Registers
Limit Registers
Limit registers are used by step commands to control sequence timing.
PTGT0LIM and PTGT1LIM are used to insert one-time pauses into a sequence. The Peripheral Trigger Generator Control (PTGCTRL) step command has an option that will start either PTG Timer0 or PTG Timer1, then wait until the value of the timer equals the value of its Limit register. When the values are equal to each other, control is passed to the next step command in the queue.
The Step Delay Limit (PTGSDLIM) register is used to insert a temporary and repeatable delay for every step command in a sequence. The value loaded into PTGSDLIM is the number of PTG clocks needed to execute a single step command. When enabled, PTGSDLIM will cause the time period between successive step commands to be longer. When this register is disabled, all step commands will execute at the speed of the designated PTG clock. PTGSDLIM can be enabled or disabled using an option of the PTGCTRL step command.
PTGC0LIM and PTGC1LIM are loop counters for the conditional jump commands (PTGJMPC0 and PTGJMPC1). Using two loop counters allows a single level of nesting.
Example Of a Nested Loop Using the PTGCxLIM Registers
In this example, if PTGC0LIM = 3 and PTGC1LIM = 8, then the following commands would be executed before control is passed to the command in Step 5:
 - The step command loaded into Step 1 will execute 24 (3 x 8) times.
 - The step command loaded into Step 3 will execute 8 times.
 - All Limit registers can be initialized with a simple assignment statement when the PTG is disabled. For example, PTGSDLIM = 7.
 - During run-time, the value of any Limit register can be modified by the use of PTGCOPY or PTGADD step commands.
Adjust Register
The PTGADD step command will add the value of the literal stored in PTGADJ to a Limit register. The particular Limit register to be modified is passed in the command's OPTION field. Modifying the Limit registers allows sequences to incrementally adjust the timing of generated triggers.
Hold Register
The PTGCOPY step command moves the content of PTGHOLD into any of the Limit registers. PTGCOPY is typically used to reset a Limit register to its initial value after the register has been modified by PTGADD.

Among the numerous traditions associated with these weddings, the mehendi ceremony is probably the most prominent. This is when the brides, and in some cases the grooms, apply mehendi on their hands and feet. While the groom needs to stay happy with a token design, the brides are given an elaborate treatment.
The significance of mehendi
According to popular belief, mehendi is a representation of the bond of matrimony existent between couples and is thus regarded as a sign of good luck. It signifies the love and affection prevalent between them and their immediate families. Some of the popular beliefs associated with a mehendi tradition are as follows:
- The darkness of the color of the mehendi on the bride's hands is a representation of the deep love existing between the would-be-couple
- The color of the mehendi also reflects the love and understanding the bride shares with her mother-in-law
- Longer the mehendi color stays on, more auspicious it proves to be for the newlyweds
- mehendi is also looked upon as a symbolic representation of fertility
How to make mehendi at home?
Henna, the main constituent for a mehendi paste, is usually sold in the form of a dry powder. It is usually prepared by drying, milling, and sifting the leaves of the henna plant. This powder needs to be blended with strong tea, lemon juice, or other liquids that have an acidic content so that the silky smooth consistency is obtained.
Henna paste should ideally be allowed to stand for twenty-four hours so that the dye is released. Essential oils that contain a high level of monoterpene alcohol such as eucalyptus, cajeput, lavender, and tea tree can be added to the henna paste so as to produce a dark color. This paste can now be applied to the palms and feet of the bride for creating intricate designs using cones.
In case you don't wish to prepare cones at home, ready-made cones are readily available in the market.
Modernization of the mehendi designs
The traditional mehendi patterns have become intensely intricate and decorative over time. Today, there are a large number of mehendi patterns to choose from such as Arabic, Rajasthaniand black mehendi designs. Besides, you have the choice of jazzing up a simple design using crystals, beads etc.
DulhaDulhan and Shehnai designs are particularly popular amongst brides. But if you are a modern bride, you might just want to try out some awesome arm tattoos for your big day!
Applying a mehendi and getting a design right may sound very easy but is far from being so! You need a lot of effort and practice before you can get it right. It is thus advisable that you try out the design on rough to see if you have mastered it perfectly before you go ahead and apply it for the big occasion. Mehendi expert Jigna Mehta explains some amazing and easy to do henna designs in this step-by-step mehendi tutorial.
Mehendi designs on feet
Doing a bridal mehendi pattern for the feet is not much different from any other conventional form of mehendi design. While we are used to seeing the hands and arms being covered by such designs it is not unusual to have mehendi art on one's legs and feet. This design can be in coordination of what you have on your hands or have a totally different look and feel to it. Either way, dainty feet and delicate ankles brandishing traditional mehendi designs with a pair of toe rings and an anklet makes for a complete bridal look.
Over the course of the wedding celebrations, there will be numerous occasions when the bride will be called upon for exposing her feet and ankles. Having a great bridal mehendi pattern gracing her feet will help in bringing the whole look together and complement her ensemble of jewelry and makeup.
Before you get started
Here are some helpful tips to ensure that you are fully prepared before applying the bridal mehendi design on your hands. Trust me, following these tips will make life a whole lot easier for you and you will get that dark bridal mehendi glowing for days !
- You should ideally get the bridal mehendi done a couple of days before the wedding day since the henna will require around 48 uneventful hours to produce the darkest possible stain
- It is not a good idea to exfoliate before the mehendi is applied. More the number of skin layers, better will be the absorption of the henna
- All your manicure, pedicure, and waxing should be done before the mehendi is applied, as they impact the longevity and stain of the design. If your preference is for shaving over waxing, do so lightly in order to avoid razor burns or open wounds. Also, the harsh chemicals used in these manicures and pedicures can prevent the stain from developing so you won't get the guarantee of a suitably bright bridal mehendi pattern
- Avoid the use of any lotions before applying the mehendi and for another couple of days after you have applied it so that it does not interfere with the stain
After Application Care – How to Make Sure Your Mehendi Stays for Long
Once the mehendi dries off, dab it with a solution of lemon juice and sugar which helps in increasing the intensity of the mehendi color. The dried henna will slowly fall off from the hand and leave behind an orange hue that slowly turns into reddish brown.
The remainder of the dried paste can be scraped off from the hand using the blunt edge of a knife.
Chlorinated water and soap solutions should be avoided at all costs as they hinder the darkening of the mehendi color. After applying the mehendi, you can steam or warm your hands to give a darker color to the design. It is best to make the henna paste at home for creating mehendi designs and tattoos on your hands and feet. This way, you can keep yourself from harm of the harsh chemicals that are predominant in the readymade cones you get in the market.
Well, I hope these tips come handy and you look and feel beautiful. Happy wedding in advance!

Mastering iPhone's "Check In" Feature: Your Comprehensive Guide
The iPhone is not only a versatile communication tool but also a guardian of safety and convenience. Among its array of features, the "Check In" function stands out as an invaluable tool for ensuring your well-being and keeping your friends informed. In this guide, we will explore the ins and outs of this feature, including how it works, how to use it effectively, and how to make the most out of its capabilities.
Understanding How "Check In" Works
The "Check In" feature on your iPhone allows you to automatically notify a friend when you've reached your destination. This simple yet powerful tool can also provide real-time details about your journey, adding an extra layer of safety and convenience to your travels.
When you initiate a "Check In," your iPhone keeps track of your journey. If it detects that you're taking longer than expected or if you haven't reached your destination, it sends a notification to your selected friend. This feature is not just about reaching your destination; it's about ensuring you're safe and accounted for along the way.
Conversely, when a friend sends you a "Check In," you can monitor their progress. If their iPhone isn't progressing as expected, you can access information about their location, battery percentage, cellular signal, and more. This ensures that you are well informed and can provide assistance if needed.

When you successfully reach your destination, the "Check In" will automatically complete and inform your friend that your iPhone has arrived.
 - After a timer: Set a time frame, which can be useful when you're meeting someone new, for example. If you don't end the "Check In" within the set time, it will notify your friend.
 5. Tap the Send button.
Should your iPhone not arrive at your destination, or if you fail to cancel the "Check In" and respond to the prompts, your iPhone's journey details will be shared with your friend. Keep in mind that if you initiate a "Check In" and subsequently lose service or your iPhone powers off, your friend may receive a delayed or early notification, along with the option to view the shared iPhone details.
Extending Your "Check In" Duration
Sometimes, your plans may change, and you need more time to reach your destination. In such cases, you can easily extend your "Check In." Here's how:
 1. Open the Messages app on your iPhone.
 2. Access the conversation with the friend to whom you sent the "Check In."
 3. On the "Check In" message, tap Details, then select Add Time, and choose the desired option.
Canceling a "Check In"
If you've successfully completed your journey or need to end the session for any reason, you can cancel your "Check In" to notify your friend. Follow these steps:
 1. Open the Messages app on your iPhone.
 2. Navigate to the conversation with the friend who received your "Check In."
 3. On the "Check In" message, tap Details, and then tap Cancel Check In. Confirm your decision.
Customizing the Details You Share

Pinwheels for Peace at Timber Point
Students at Timber Point Elementary School in East Islip celebrated the International Day of Peace on Sept. 21 by creating "Pinwheels for Peace" and participating in various other Peace Day projects and activities. According to Principal Lisa Belz, the purpose was to "recognize, understand and help create a culture of peace."
"The fifth grade in particular created their own quotes for peace, listened to and analyzed the words of Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream' speech, learned how to say 'peace' in many languages, and designed Pinwheels for Peace which are displayed on the bulletin board in the hallway," said Timber Point teacher Carol Wilson.
The International Day of Peace, also unofficially known as World Peace Day, has been observed every Sept. 21 since 1982 and is dedicated to the concept of peace, specifically the absence of war and violence.

Northeast Ohio regional sewer plan approved
In an effort to clean up Lake Erie that began with the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972, U.S. District Court Judge Donald C. Nugent has approved a 25-year regional sewer district plan to reduce the amount of untreated waste that is dumped into local waterways, usually during flooding.
The judge's approval allows the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District to move forward on a $3 billion deal worked out with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Ohio Attorney General's office which promises to reduce discharges of untreated waste from the current level of about 4.5 billion gallons a year to under 500,000 gallons annually by 2036.
The consent decree signed by the judge requires the district to pay a total of $1.2 million within 30 days to the U.S. and Ohio EPAs for past violations of clean water regulations.
The sewer district's board approved a five-year rate hike, the bulk of which will go to pay for improvements required under the plan. The increases, which average about 13 percent a year, begin in January and continue through 2016.
The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District serves Cleveland and 61 neighboring communities. Nearly one-quarter of its sewers are combined and overflows from them spill out from the system's 126 outfalls, some built as early as 1876, which are located in a number of communities.
The Northeast Ohio Regional District is planning to build seven massive tunnels designed to help stop storm water and sewage from getting into Lake Erie, but the court is requiring that part of the solution come from "green" infrastructure.
Green solutions use plant and soil systems, permeable pavement, green roofs and cisterns, and bioretention wetland areas to capture, store and filter storm water before it reaches the combined sewer system.

Photoacoustic temperature measurement is a new type of thermometric technology with noninvasive, real-time, high precision and space resolution. For improving the measurement accuracy and reliability, the method of using a multiwavelength photoacoustic signal to monitor the temperature named as multiwavelength photoacoustic temperature measurement was proposed in this paper. Based on the basic photoacoustic effect theory, the theoretical feasibility of this method was analyzed. And the experimental results from the phantom and ex-vivo tissue samples indicate that the multiwavelength photoacoustic temperature measurement can effectively reduce the error to smaller than 0.1 °C, and increase the accuracy of temperature measurement by more than two times. Our study demonstrated that the multiwavelength photoacoustic temperature measurement can potentially be a valuable method for temperature measurement during photothermal therapy or other clinic applications.

Adopt a school
Adopt a school
Adopt a school is a campaign designed to foster and build a relationship between Minnesota public schools and ARAHA. Through the campaign, the school will get an opportunity to connect to the Horn of Africa region through different projects.
Many schools have service learning project that their students take as a requirement or as an optional course. This is a great opportunity to engage students on a project that will show them that they can make an impact not just on a community level, but on a global scale.
Opportunity for the school:
These campaign will provide the school students, teachers, and staff an opportunity to learn cultures from the Horn of Africa, raise awareness about different issues pertaining to the region, or raise funds. The school and students will be able to choose the focus of their campaign; In the end, the feeling the students gets from sense of accomplishment, inspiration, motivation, knowledge, teamwork, and increase in cultural competence far weights any funds they generate.
Some Benefits:
Sense of accomplishment for students and staff participating; knowing that their efforts will make an impact in the Horn of Africa, no matter how small or large it may be.
Opportunity for students to get their credit for service learning project.
Students and staff will gain a better understanding, and knowledge of these countries where many students in Minnesota public schools come from. Thus, building bridges of understanding and care.
Based on the campaign, students will be able to unite and rally behind a cause.
The concept:
As you know, School meals play a large role in keeping students in school, fighting malnutrition, and keeping them focused. For many students across the world, school lunch will be the only wholesome meal of the day that they will have. And in many places in the Horn of Africa region where poverty is the norm, most schools can't afford to provide meals for their students.
Our goal is to partner with your school to provide lunches for students in schools in the Horn of Africa, Specially from schools in rural, IDP, or refugee camps. Where student in that part of the world don't have the privilege, we have here of having a healthy, nutritional meal for breakfast or lunch while they are at the school. Most of the children they come to school without a decent breakfast that if they have one. ARAHA initiate a pilot project to help change the situation by providing a lunch or breakfast to students especially in the remote areas in the Horn of Africa. Last year we, at ARAHA, established this program as a pilot project in 2 schools, then this year we were able to expand it into a total of 7 schools. We are hoping that together we can help more schools to start providing healthy breakfast or lunches to their students.
The school with its student body will adopt a school in the Horn of Africa to provide daily breakfast or lunches in schools where none of these two meals are provided.
This will help the students to focus on schooling and follow their teachers during lecture, increase retention and attendance in the school and improve the academic achievements for each student.
We are hoping each student can save 50 cents a day, up to $10 a month to help a fellow student in the Horn of Africa to have breakfast/lunch while in school like him or her.
Action plan:
ARAHA will Make a 5 minutes presentation about the lunch program including a short video in the cafeteria during the students' lunch time.
The Appeal:
 - For only 50 cents a day, you can help a student not to go hungry for the entire day while he/she is in school.
 - School with 200 students needs only $100 a day. Each student in the sponsoring school brings $ 2.50 a week or $10.00 a month. It works on an honor system.
 - ARAHA's Representative empties the box once a month and share the collected amount with the administration.
ARAHA will:
 - Place A donation box in the cafeteria (in a convenient location)
 - Clearly display the adopted school name,
 - Number of students in the adopted school,
 Grads, Girls or boys' school,
 - The city and The country.
The adopted school will:
 - Display the name and information of the adopting school,
 - Students will send Thank you letters to their peers in the adopted school
 - Exchanged letters between students of the two schools
 - Can exchange civic/cultural information.
The achievements:
 1. This will improve the student's health by giving them a daily nutritious meal.
 2. Increase the enrollment of students from many poor families whose children are deprived from education due to malnutrition.
 3. Enhance academic performance by preventing children from being stunned.
 4. Reduce the dropout rate.
 5. Make the teacher's job relatively easier.
 6. Children stay where they belong in the classroom, not the streets
 7. Creating a more positive community and educated youth.
 8. Provide ongoing employment to some of the poor families as well.
 9. Your students will feel the sense of accomplishment of helping and connecting with other fellow students like them in other parts of the world especially the Horn of Africa.
ARAHA was established in the year 2000 as a not for profit organization in Minnesota with tax-exempt No. 41-_PHONE_. ARAHA has 5 field offices (2 in Somalia, 1 in Kenya, 1 in Ethiopia, and 1 in Sudan). Each office is fully staffed. In addition, the highly acclaimed Charity Navigator rated ARAHA among the top 8% of US charities in transparency and accountability. The Charities Review Council also awarded ARAHA their prestigious "Meet the Standards" seal for accountability and transparency.
We are hoping to partner with your organization on this healthy and educational effort to help the new generations in the Horn of Africa region to gain a quality education and turn their lives, as well as the lives of their families, around. In a generation, we can move a population from being reliant on aid to providing for themselves, their families, communities, towns and villages, and their country.
Thank you.

The serious natural disasters such as flood and earthquake break out in a short time. Remote sensing such as airborne SAR can acquire the image of the disaster area quickly. But the airborne SAR remote sensing image has the property of large volume data, so the processing needs very large computer memory and strong computation ability. In this paper, based on the analysis of the SAR image processing procedure, we study the SAR image processing method using computer parallel computation technology, which is based on the parallel computer cluster operation and the large virtual computer memory sharing technology. We also introduce the application of the SAR image parallel processing system in the disaster monitor and assessment to validate the high efficiency of the system and the feasibility of our research.

Flag of Scotland
The flag of Scotland raises a white Sautoir, a the crux decussata representing the cross of the Christian martyr Saint Andre, owner of the Scotland on a blue bottom. It is often known under the name of Croix of saint André or The Saltire (English saltire). In language Héraldique it is blasonné of azure, with the money saltire.
It is the one of oldest Drapeau X in the world, traditionally dated from the IX|9 e century, and the oldest national flag still of use. According to the legend, the king Oengus II of Pictes (or King Angus ) carried out the Pictes and the Gaëls during a battle against the Angles under the king Aethelstan of East Anglia. King Angus and its men were encircled and it started to request for their delivery. During the night Saint Andre, which had been martyrisé on a diagonal cross, appeared in Angus and ensured it of the victory. The following day a white saltire on a bottom of blue sky appeared on the two sides and encouraga Pictes and Gaëls but made lose confidence with the Angles which were beaten. The cross of Saint Andre became thus the Scottish flag.
A proof of the use of this flag goes back to a few years later. In 1385 the Parlement of Scotland issues that the soldiers Scot must raise the cross of Saint Andre like distinctive sign. The oldest still existing flag and representing only one cross of Saint Andre goes back to 1503: a white cross on a red bottom. Before 1540 the legend of King Angus had been modified to include there the vision of the the crux decussata on a blue sky. Thereafter the cross of Saint Andre under his current form became the national flag of Scotland.
At certain times of the colors as clear as blue sky or as dark as the navy blue (a choice apparently moved by price changes of the dyeings according to the times was used), but the recent versions largely converged towards the official model of the Pantone 300. In 2003 a commission of the Écossais Parliament proposed that the Scottish government adopts this color like standard. It is useful to note that this blue is of a color slightly clearer than Pantone 280 of the Union Jack. The proportions of the flag are not fixed but are generally 5:3 or 3:2, the latter being often preferred. The width of the cross is it of 1/5 the height of the flag.
But the Scot use also the banner, a flag which takes again the drawing of the Scottish ecu, of gold to the lion of mouths surrounded by a treschor also of mouths.

text: An increasing number of distributed real-time systems face the critical challenge of providing quality of service guarantees in open and unpredictable environments. In particular, such systems often need to enforce utilization bounds on multiple processors in order to avoid overload and meet end-to-end deadlines even when task execution times are unpredictable. While recent feedback control real-time scheduling algorithms have shown promise, they cannot handle the common end-to-end task model where each task is comprised of a chain of subtasks distributed on multiple processors. This paper presents the end-to-end utilization control (EUCON) algorithm that adaptively maintains desired CPU utilization through performance feedbacks loops. EUCON is based on a model predictive control approach that models utilization control on a distributed platform as a multivariable constrained optimization problem. A multi-input-multi-output model predictive controller is designed based on a difference equation model that describes the dynamic behavior of distributed real-time systems. Both control theoretic analysis and simulations demonstrate that EUCON can provide robust utilization guarantees when task execution times deviate from estimation or vary significantly at runtime.

Labyrinth Presents Talk On John James Audubon
Gregory Nobles will be talking about his new book, John James Audubon: The Nature of the American Woodsman (Univ. of Penn. Press $34.95) at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, July 19 at 6 p.m.
According to Scott Weidensaul, author of Of a Feather: A Brief History of American Birding, "More than a century and a half after his death, John James Audubon — flamboyant, intense, garrulous, insecure, and yet gifted beyond measure — remains one of the most compelling figures in American history. In this fine new biography, Gregory Nobles brings 'the American Woodsman' back to full, vivid life, capturing the artist's many facets as Audubon himself captured the essence of his beloved birds."
Gregory Nobles is professor of history emeritus at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Among his previous books are American Frontiers: Cultural Encounters and Continental Conquest and, with Alfred F. Young, Whose American Revolution Was It? Historians Interpret the Founding.

Calf thymus DNA characterization and its adsorption on different silica surfaces
MetadataShow full item record
DNA adsorption is the initial stage of gene therapy for drug delivery systems and solid phase extraction methods of DNA purification. High pore volume and high adsorption capacity are simple requirements not only for producing'smart' drug delivery systems but also the development of purification kits. Silica is the most used material for this purpose. The present study aimed at elucidating the calf thymus DNA biosorption process by the characterization of calf thymus DNA and silica to increase the efficiency of the currently used silica material. Mesoporous silica has long been used for DNA adsorption and silica aerogel is the new adsorbent investigated in the present study. When DNA solution was freeze dried on a silica wafer, self-assembled super helices formed as shown by atomic microscopy (AFM). Thus DNA existed not as single molecules but as large sized agglomerates in water. Thus it could be adsorbed in the macropores and on the external surface of adsorbents. Adsorption of calf thymus DNA to a silica aerogel, a mesoporous silica gel and a silica wafer was investigated in the present study. Silica aerogel was synthesized from TEOS by a supercritical ethanol drying process. The DNA adsorption capacity of the silica aerogel was nearly two times that of the mesoporous silica gel due to its macroporous structure and its higher silanol content. Silica aerogel was found to be a very promising material for DNA adsorption. Therefore silica aerogel can be considered as a good candidate for the delivery of DNA.

Experimental Study on Matching Characteristics of Wave and Flame in Detonation
A series of single-shot detonation experiments was performed to understand the matching characteristics of wave and flame in DDT for H2/air mixures in a 60mm square tube that was 2m in length. The ion-probes and pressure transducers were respectively utilized to get the signal of flame and wave, and high-speed digital imaging was used to track flame propagation of DDT area. The matching rule of shock-flame was achieved by analyzing the intensity、velocity and position characteristics of wave and flame in different time along the tube. The results indicate that intensity of wave and flame is positive feedback characteristic and the velocity of wave and flame is alternant change process. The speed amplitude of flame is rapid than that of wave in deflagration phase. This result in the overdrivern detonation wave form and flame is temporarily in front of flame when flame catch up wave. Shock is in front of flame in phase which the overdrivern detonation evolve into steady detonation wave.

Bathinda, May 25, 2022 (Yes Punjab News)
Maharaja Ranjit Singh Punjab Technical University (MRSPTU), Bathinda' Training & Placement department organised an educational visit to Punjab Vidhan Sabha- a UNESCO World Heritage site as a part of Chandigarh capitol complex on Wednesday for the students of School of Architecture and Planning,MRSPTU.
Sharing the information, the head of department, Dr. Bhupinder Singh Dhot , Director- Training & Placement Harjot Singh Sidhu and Dean Industry Linkages and consultancy, Dr. Manjeet Bansal said "During the visit students were informed about the design philosophies of the master architect Le Corbusier.
While looking at the tapestries, murals and paintings students related Corbusier's colour theory with his works. The concept of brutalism was clearly visible through fine finish of exposed concrete which contains different motifs related to Indian culture and architecture.
Accompanying experts briefed about the history, technological up-gradation, circulation patterns, services etc. Internal treatment of spaces shows the perfect application of studies related to acoustics, natural lighting, ventilation, scale and proportion.
students were amazed to see the incorporation of two different structure systems i.e. Bulk Active and Surface Active in a single building. Students admired the science of controlling direct solar gains on visiting 'Tower of Shadow' which is a part of Capitol Complex. Le Corbusier has incorporated this science very well in all the buildings of the complex by the efficient use of external shading devices.
Director-Training & Placement Harjot Singh Sidhu expressed sincere gratitude to the Hon'ble Speaker Vidhan sabha S. Kultar Singh Sandhwan for providing MRSPTU students the opportunity to visit the Vidhan Sabha.
The visit to Heritage site for the students is an important part of learning and our university aims to keep our student interaction with the real world.' he added.
Ar. Kapil Arora, Ar. konica Sharma of School of architecture and planning accompanied the students for the visit.

If I have 2,000 items, is it possible to mint all of them at the same time, or is there a limit for the number of items that I want to mint at the same time?
If we suppose that there is no mint limitation by the item owners (which is commonly implemented in NFT projects), one limitation you may encounter is the number of transaction that can be included in one Ethereum block.
To go deeper, here is an extract of this article, pretty old though:
Currently the maximum block size in Ethereum is around 1,500,000 Gas. Basic transactions or payments of ETH from one account to another (ie not a smart contract) have a complexity of 21,000 Gas so you can fit around 70 transactions into a block (1,500,000 / 21,000).

Another commonly used word for a prostitute is hooker.
Although a popular etymology connects "hooker" with Joseph Hooker, a Union general in the American Civil War, the word more likely comes from the concentration of prostitutes around the shipyards and ferry terminal of the Corlear's Hook area of Manhattan in the 1820s, who came to be referred to as "hookers".
Female prostitutes could be independent and sometimes influential women.
They were required to wear distinctive dresses and had to pay taxes.
Those offering services to female customers are commonly known as gigolos; those offering services to male customers are hustlers or rent boys.
Clients of prostitutes are sometimes known as johns or tricks in North America and punters in the British Isles.
Most sex worker activists groups reject the word prostitute and since the late 1970s have used the term sex worker instead.
However, sex worker can also mean anyone who works within the sex industry or whose work is of a sexual nature and is not limited solely to prostitutes.
Prostitution is sometimes described as commercial sex or hooking.
In the Ancient Near East along the Tigris–Euphrates river system there were many shrines and temples or "houses of heaven" dedicated to various deities documented by the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus in The Histories As early as the 18th century BC, ancient Mesopotamia recognized the need to protect women's property rights.
In the Code of Hammurabi, provisions were found that addressed inheritance rights of women, including female prostitutes.
The English word whore derives from the Old English word hōra, from the Proto-Germanic *hōrōn (prostitute), which derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *keh₂- meaning "desire", a root which has also given us Latin cārus (dear), whence the French cher (dear, expensive) and the Latin cāritās (love, charity).
Use of the word whore is widely considered pejorative, especially in its modern slang form of ho.

When shelving international books, be aware that the direction of text along the spin varies from country to country—even those countries using Latin characters.
With English-language books, text goes from the top to the bottom. Italian books are reversed. Title text starts at the bottom and goes up.
Since my English books greatly outnumber my Italian ones, I flip the Italian ones upside down. This allows me to read all the titles on the spines in the same direction.


How to Make Date Paste
Many of our desserts and baking recipes rely heavily on date paste as a replacement for sugar. Because date paste includes the same nutrients you find in dates, it brings more nutrition to a dish than refined sugars. Date paste, however, is not easily available in most major grocery stores, which might leave you scratching your head. Never fear! Date paste is just date puree, and it's easy to make. Here are some tips for getting good results.
Apple-Date Torte
Apple-Date Torte is a wonderful dessert for trying out date paste because it's very forgiving where consistency is concerned.
1. Choose your dates.
For the best health benefit, look for whole, unsweetened dates. The ingredients label on the package should say only "dates." Some dried or chopped, candied dates contain added sugar, which you don't need.
2. Choose your amount.
Estimating your quantity is tricky, since date sizes vary by type and your ultimate volume will also depend on how much water you add. As a general rule of thumb, however, you will get approximately 1 cup of date paste for 12 Medjool dates.
3. Soak your dates.
Straight up dates will produce a paste thick enough to jam most blenders and getting a smooth consistency can be challenging. Cover your dates with warm water for 1 hour, then drain the liquid off completely, reserving the liquid.
4. Puree the dates.
Using the most powerful blending tool in your kitchen (blender, food processor, whatever you own that's strongest), puree the dates. If you're having trouble getting them to a nice paste consistency (think tomato paste for comparison), add in just enough water to reach a workable consistency.
5. Store the extra.
Because amounts can be challenging to adjust, it's not a bad idea to make date paste in a larger batch than you expect to need. Measure out 1/4 cup increments onto a parchment covered baking sheet and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Freeze for 4-6 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag for later use.

Earliest Canadian-made chanukiyah discovered
MONTREAL — What is believed to be the earliest known Canadian-made ceremonial chanukiyah has been identified by Eiran Harris, archivist emeritus of Montreal's Jewish Public Library Archives.
It was discovered in the collection of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim, Canada's oldest existing Ashkenazi congregation, founded in 1858. The chanukiyah is now prominently displayed in the synagogue's Edward Bronfman Museum.
In 1904, during his presidency of the congregation, Lyon Cohen donated the brass chanukiyah to the synagogue on the occasion of his son's bar mitzvah.
The 40-by-32-centimetre candelabra was cast at the W.R. Cuthbert Brass Foundry, which was owned by the Cohen family. In his youth, prior to achieving international renown as a poet and singer, Lyon Cohen's grandson, Leonard, worked at the foundry, Harris said.
On the base is engraved the following, "Presented to Shaar Hashomayim Congregation by Lyon Cohen, President, on the occasion of the Bar Mitzvah of his eldest son, Chanukah 5665, December 3, 1904."
The eldest son was Nathan "Natty" Bernard Cohen, Leonard's father.
Lyon Cohen would become the first president of Canadian Jewish Congress in 1919.
Harris is confident of his claim. "No other older Canadian-made chanukiyah in Canada or anywhere else has been identified," he said.
"Hundreds of Chanukah lamps are displayed in museums throughout the world as examples of ornate Jewish art produced in various countries. Now a Canadian example is also proudly displayed," Harris said.


Math Question for S-Curve
For a transform, I need to have a user defined s-curve, that can be controlled using sliders.
For the first half I have been able to create the correct formula,
but I can't get the second part of the curve to have the correct behaviour.
Is there anyone with a good Math brain that can get the second part of the formula to work?
Now, the lower left of the curve (x<0.5) behaves as I would like,
but the upper right (n>0.5) is fixed,
and I would like to have the s-curve react in the same way to changes in s and e as the other part.
[code]dim p as new Picture(300,300,32)
dim x as double
dim y as double
// s is a double in the range of 0 to 1
// e is a double in the range of 1 to 5
// Both controlled by sliders
for n as double =0 to 1 step 0.005
x=n
if n<0.5 then
y=((1-s)x + s0.5*(x/0.5)^e) // This is the left part which works well
else
y=1-(1-x)^22 // this should mimic the behavior of the lower-left part of the curve
end
p.Graphics.ForeColor=rgb(0,0,0)
p.Graphics.FillOval(x
300,300-(y*(300)),2,2)
next
Canvas1.Backdrop=p
// Canvas1 is 300x300 pixels[/code]
If I understand correctly what you want to achieve (a curve symmetric with respect to the point at n=0.5, right?), this should work:
Dim z as Double z=1-n if n<0.5 then y=((1-s)*x + s*0.5*(x/0.5)^e) // This is the left part which works well else y=1-((1-s)*z + s*0.5*(z/0.5)^e) // Use z here end
Is that what you are after?
