This paper proposes a novel user interface to manage the dynamic layout of multimedia objects in the Multimedia Bulletin Board (MBB) system. The MBB has been designed and implemented as a prototype of an asynchronous communication system that enables rich communication and collaboration among users of multimedia objects such as text, image, moving picture, sound, voice, web, office document, and other files. The layout properties of the multimedia objects on a board (e.g. x-y position, size, z-order, partial occlusion, explicit and implicit links, etc.) show important and useful information on the user dynamics occurring within a board. However, a fixed layout created and edited by multiple users may prevent users from recognizing and identifying useful information. This paper resolves this problem with a novel user-controlled layout strategy made visible with dynamic layout templates (DLT). Users can reorganize the objects to extract meaningful information related to time, source, geographic location, or topic.
Keywords: Multimedia Bulletin Board (MBB), asynchronous communication, collaboration, graphical user interfaces, layout management, dynamic layout template (DLT)


'Sensing the Shining' explores new ways of visualizing the emotional reaction to movies, exemplified with Stanley Kubrick's classic 'The Shining'.
Current advances in sensor technology, biofeedback and algorithms enable an increasingly deep analysis of our emotional responses to content.
Movies are traditionally constructed to evoke emotional responses using surprise, delight or shock.
Movie posters are designed to convey these moments in a single image.
Measuring the emotional response of the viewer using Galvanic Skin Response technology, 'Sensing the Shining' creates a movie poster that takes the stills from the movie itself to visualize the emotional reactions of the viewer while watching it.
As an experiment, 'Sensing the Shining' creates a new kind of responsive feedback interface for visual content that highlights the more emotionally impactful parts of the movie.
Project Details
'Sensing the Shining' utilizes GSR (Galvanic Skin Response ) that measures the speed of an electromagnetic pulse between two sensors attached to two different fingers.
The GSR sensor
An emotional response increases the sweat level on the human skin which also increases the speed of the impulse travelling between the contacts.
Throughout the movie the sensor measures the emotional reaction of the viewer in 0.2 second intervals.
The raw data as measured by the GSR sensor throughout 'The Shining'
The movie is exported with the same intervals as the sensor measurements to have a matching frame for each value of the data.
Each frame's width is then cropped according to it's corresponding data value as measured by the sensor.
Cropped area - quiet times
Cropped area - tension mounts
Cropped area - a sudden moment
During the uneventful parts of the movie, this cropping leads to each frame being shown as just a small slice. The higher the measurement of the data, the more becomes visible of each frame.
Sudden peaks in measurements create "moments" that enable an almost entire view of the frame.
The cropped images are then stitched together in sequence to create the movie poster collage.
By cropping the movie frames according to the measured data time becomes visually condensed or stretched
Emotionally meaningful moments become emphasized while the less exiting parts of the movie become almost visual noise.
Meeting the twins
In its entirety it gives a visual impression of the movie, its exciting parts, patterns and rhythms.
The final image plot
'Sensing the Shining' creates a new kind of feedback interface for visual content that highlights the emotionally relevant parts of the movie as sensed by its viewer.

Electromagnetic field distributions in 3-dimensional irregular cavities
Ulrich Dörr · Hans-Jürgen Stöckmann · Michael Barth · Ulrich Kuhl
The eigenfrequencies νn of the cavity are measured in
dependance of the metallic bead position r:
Wavefunctions and their Δν distribution
|wave functions||distributions of Δν|
Δν distribution of wavefunctions
Distribution P(Δν) is defined by:
If all components of E and B are independently Gaussian distributed, i.e,
Only for chaotic wave functions the ansatz is valid. If the wave function is scarred, deviations from the expected deviations can be seen. Therefore the distribution can be used as a check whether the wave function is chaotic or not.
Δν distribution at the walls
Close to the walls three field components must be zero, due to the boundary conditions. Thus the distribution of Δν must be different and can be calculated by using only three independent components of the fields.
At the walls (d < 10mm) the deviations from the volume distribution (dashed dotted line) clearly can be seen. The sharp peak of the expected distribution (dashed line) can't be resolved.
In the intermediate regime (10mm < d < 20mm) a transition from border to volume distribution is found.
For the data well inside the cavity (d > 20mm) the volume distribution describes the experimental findings.
Spatial correlation functions
(in cooperation with B. Eckhardt)
The spatial correlation function is defined by:
Longitudinal correlation function along the displacement:
Transversal correlation function:
If the polarization is not considered, one expects:
Experimental correlation functions(- - - - including polarization, · · · · excluding polarization)
ResultsThough the electromagnetic fields E and B are coupled by the Maxwell equations, the six components can be considered as independently Gaussian distributed.
==> Field distributions can be described by random superposition of plane waves.

The inadvertent introduction of air during cardiac surgery into the ascending aorta before aortic cross clamping is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication. Cardiac surgeons and anesthesiologists must be prepared to deal with this emergency, because rapid and decisive action can prevent or attenuate severe neurologic injury that may result from an air embolism. The authors present a case of an air embolism during mitral valve repair surgery that was treated successfully with early detection and management. A continuous quality improvement process following a previous instance of air embolism contributed to the successful outcome.

Anaesthetic considerations for a bleeding hemangiosarcoma undergoing splenectomy
Saturday, September 2, 2023
A haemangiosarcoma is a type of cancer that is common in dogs. Most cases originate from the spleen. Typically these patients present with haemoabdomen for splenectomy. Care should be taken to thoroughly assess and stabilise the patient prior to anaesthesia. These patients are often critical, and consideration should be taken of the equipment and monitoring devices required. ECG, blood pressure, SpO2 and capnography are all vital when monitoring the anaesthetic for these patients.

Re-Indexing in elastic search
Recently working on my current project had faced a scenario where a particular field of an index is not able to add or update data. After a long finding able to find or detect that there is an issue related to data type in an index for a particular field (or key).
Being a database developer for such a scenario, we always get a hint to alter the data type. Blindly altering data type is not the solution let's research more on this and bring up some of our findings.
In Elasticsearch to add or alter a field in an index, we have an API _mapping. This API will help us to check defined mapping on an index whether it's static mapping or dynamic mapping.
Want to learn more about mapping and its types in elastic search please check my previous article.
Mappings in Elasticsearch
In this article, we will see how mappings are used in Elasticsearch and its pros and cons.
Let's consider practically how re-indexing is implemented and what problems we face during re-indexing.
Consider an index order with static mapping.
And add some records to this index.
- In most scenarios, the elastic search will not allow us directly to update the data type of existing fields either it will make existing data invalid or will throw an error.
- If still, we want to update the field of an index then follow these mentioned steps:
(i) create a new index with the updated data type of field in an index.
(ii) Re-index the data from the old index to the new index.
(iii) delete the old index.
(iv) Re-name the new index with the mapped index name. We can re-name using _alias API in elastic search.
Note: This method requires minimal downtime for re-indexing data.
This approach is useful when altering data type from int to text or int to keyword or both scenarios.
Thanks for the read. Do clap if find it useful😊.

Does a Buddhist temple have a place on a college campus?
The temple was given to UTEP by the people of Bhutan after it was built for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington D.C. in 2008. Photo credit: Kate Gannon
EL PASO — Separation of church and state, unless we're talking about a Buddhist temple at the University of Texas at El Paso? To celebrate its centennial, UTEP is undergoing a major physical transformation and a very visible part of the makeover is the placement on campus of a Lhakhang, or Buddhist temple.
The temple was given to UTEP by the people of Bhutan after it was built for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival that took place in Washington D.C. in 2008. It was later shipped to El Paso and kept in a warehouse until money was raised to place it on campus.
The Bhutanese architecture at UTEP is undeniably beautiful and so is Bhutan, it's people and culture. But does that give UTEP the right to put a big temple in the middle of the new Centennial Plaza?
UTEP has crossed this line several times. Bhutan prayer flags outline the art museum, a Bhutan altar greets you in the library and, in November 2012, UTEP was host to former Buddhist monk Losang Samten who worked for four weeks in the Bhutan Cybercafe in the UTEP Union East building crafting a Kalachakra sand mandala.
Time-lapse video by Steve Osborne of Lobsang Samten and Kalacakra Mandala in El Paso
The sand mandala involves using sand to create artistic forms,. Accompanying ceremonies and viewings symbolize the Buddhist doctrinal belief in the transitory nature of material life.
According to Wikipedia, "The Kālacakra tradition revolves around the concept of time (kāla) and cycles (chakra): from the cycles of the planets, to the cycles of human breathing. It teaches the practice of working with the most subtle energies within one's body on the path to enlightenment."
These sand portraits feature deities within a complex structure and geometry. Although impressive, it is a religious tradition and its place in the heart of a public university campus should be questioned.
Losang Samten also showed onlookers how to meditate. This is a form of prayer and, in a country that outlaws prayer in public institutions. one wonders if that only applies to the ones praying to God.
So why was Samten allowed to teach people about the Bhutanese religion? This clearly crosses several lines in the church and state debate, so why is it being allowed? If the goal is to model the buildings after the beautiful architecture of Bhutan then what does a monk praying to his deities have to do with that?
In a 2011 interview with, UTEP's Executive Vice President of Legal Affairs and Oversight Ricardo Adauto said, "UTEP's ties to Bhutan are cultural, not religious."
This claim that the structure is cultural and not religious seems to lack validity after the demonstration held in the Bhutan Cybercafe. Another interesting quote from from Aduato in the same interview is, "Nobody is asking (students and staff) to practice anything other than looking at the architecture."
One wonders about the statements made by Aduato when a former Bhutanese monk spends four weeks on campus teaching people how to pray and what the religion of Bhutan consists of.
El Paso needs to ask why the lines that separate church and state continue to be crossed in a public institution. Building campus structures in a particular style is one thing, but a temple is something else.
4 thoughts on "Does a Buddhist temple have a place on a college campus?
 1. quit whining, this is cultural and add beauty to the campus. Do you think students are going to go pray in the "temple" before a test?
 2. Helen, I support separation of church and state. However, the issue here as I see it is truly about cultural exchange. Few UTEP students, faculty, or staff have the opportunity to visit Bhutan. Most importantly, as Mr. Adauto stated no one is asking people to pray or follow Bhutan's religious traditions. When various monks have visited campus, I have only seen people pass by, stop for a few moments, and continue with their day. Admiring the skill required to create a Kalachakra and observing how one is made enriches UTEP's cultural life.
 Many universities have both a Baptist and/or a Catholic student union in this part of the country, people discuss abortion on campus (for many this topic is tied to religion), other topics of religion are discussed in myriad ways on campus.
 Perhaps the most egregious crossing of the church/state line occurs when the clergy publicly comment on political candidates, for example, on television news shows. It seems to me we can only benefit from the cultural interchange that takes place between UTEP/El Paso and Bhutan.
 3. Teaching 'about' a religion is not the same as promoting it. This principle has held up many times in church-state cases (which the author of this piece should have researched more carefully, rather than displaying her misunderstanding of the concept.) UTEP also has a religious studies program that teaches 'about' Islam, Catholicism, Bahai, Judaism… and none of those religions are being promoted either.
 It's too bad that the author of this poorly informed editorial chooses to view other cultures and religions as threats, rather than as opportunities for learning.
 4. Querido amigo: Photography is all consuming. I have tried leaving it "cold turkey" but you recognize my weakness. They talk loudly and we love what they have to say. I hear your beautiful story.

death under Japanese law is cited as the following:
Brain death will only be declared if organic injury is observed in the brain with attributable cause and if the following criteria are met:
Deep coma
Dilated and fixed pupils
Loss of brain stem reflex
Flat brain waves
Loss of spontaneous respiration
Two or more doctors with requisite expertise and experience confirm no changes after a second test conducted six or more hours later.
Japanese organ transplantation network
There are ongoing campaigns to either change the law in Japan to allow donations from a wider pool of donors and campaigns to raise awareness. The green ribbon campaign works with one core principle:
Yes is okay. No is okay. It is your intention [choice].
Green ribbon campaign
This campaign shows the difference organ donation has on many lives and has a section on the website to share the stories of recipients so you can see what a difference it has made.
Families that have not been able to receive a new organ have only a few options.
Firstly, do nothing. For patients who need a major organ (heart, liver, lungs etc) they can choose to do nothing. This would result in their death.
Secondly, secondary care options e.g. dialysis for kidney issues. The problem with this option is the expense. Dialysis costs 6 Million yen a yearfor the rest of their liveswhereas transplantation costs 6 Million yen and only requires blood tests and doctors appointments instead. This is a cheaper option which takes us to option 3.
Travelling abroad in hopes of paying for a transplant. This method is expensive as in remortgage your house expensive. The problem is that no country has a stockpile of spare organsbut these organs need to be sources from somewhere. This may be the black market or taking organs from others in that country that also need them.
This is an extremely complicated issue in Japan where tradition and human life fight against each other. Japanese law was changed in 2010 and even though may younger Japanese are filling out organ donation forms and, as an outsider, I feel more still needs to be done in order to help more people survive.
What do you think about organ donation in Japan?
Thank you for reading and happy exploring.

The Japanese problem
Thank you for reading and happy exploring.


its parameters is a field, 'Data Name', with the default value 'ConRelGlue'. It looks for this as a string attribute on the edges, those that match get converted to glue.
I always make the same series of mistakes at this point:
 1. I half remember something about names, so I use a wrangle to set a @name attribute to glue: s@name='glue';
 2. I then remember it needs to be a primitive attribute, not a point (remember that the edges represent the constraints), so I swap the wrangle from point to prim mode
 3. I then remember that the name has to match the name on the constraint node. I can never remember 'ConRelGlue', so I go into the glue constraint node, and change its data name to 'glue' instead to match my naming
 4. After much swearing, I finally remember that its not @name, it's @constraint_name. Altering the wrangle one final time, dive back into the dopnet, and hey presto, the constraints are there.
This all seems a little obtuse, and frankly, it is, but there's some benefits to this workflow:
 - You can have one set of connected edges represent many kinds of constraints. Give some a @constraint_name of 'glue', others 'spring', others 'pin'. Put a merge node between the glue node and the constraint network node, create a new spring constraint relationship node and pin relationship node, connect them to the merge, set their data name to 'spring' and 'pin', you now have multiple constraints working.
 - This also works for constraints of the same type, that do different things. Eg, you could have some edges that have a @constraint_name of 'strongglue' and 'weakglue', in dops merge 2 glue constraints nodes with different properties, and make sure their data names are 'strongglue' and 'weakglue'.
 - Once you get the fiddly stuff setup, its waaay easier to make changes upstream to your input geo, alter the 'connect adjacent pieces' sop to create more/less connections, the rest flows through
 - @constraint_name isn't the only attribute that is watched, @strength is another, and other specific properties of other constraints can also be set at the prim level
 - A sop solver can be attached to the last input of the constraint relationship node, allowing you to create, destroy, and modify constraints using sops during the solve. There's an example of this below to create sticky curves.
I had to keep referring to pre-made networks the first month I got into dops, as there's so many little gotchas that can trip you up, but over time, I'm getting fooled less and less. :)
wire solver and constraint networks
Rbd wire constrain img.gif
Download scene: File:wire_glue_network.hipnc
The wire solver also supports constraint networks, but its a bit more tricky to setup. Main differences from the packed rbd networks are:
 - @anchor_id per point on the wire geo, required so that the constraints can attach themselves to the wire points
 - @name point attribute on the constraint points, where the name has to be the same as the wire object in dops
 - the connect adjacent pieces sop creates seemingly invisible edges; it makes them between the wire endpoints, which in this example are perfectly aligned and touching, hence you can't see them
 - only seems to support 'hard' and 'spring' constraints, glue doesn't work for me (despite the hip name...)
I wouldn't have been able to get this working without 2 very good resources, so thanks to them:
Realised the day after writing this up that there are shelf tools to setup these networks, which is probably how the crindler and odforce guys reverse engineered these setups (if they really worked it out for themselves, then they're houdini rockstars). Curiously I still can't get the glue setup to work, even with the shelf. Will keep investigating.
Despite the wire solver being quite fast, its also prone to freak outs; a lot of the time in this setup the wires will settle on the ground, almost be calm, then explode. No doubt extra solver steps would fix, but then you start to lose the speed gains of using wires in the first place. For this sort of contrived scaffolding collapse I'd probably extrude each wire shape, pack it, and use rbd anyway.
That said, a reason to stick with wires would be to simulate bending scaffolding. I tried putting a resample sop before creating @anchor_id, which gave more points per wire. Then spent an hour or so experimenting with the physical properties of the wire object. I could get them to flex a little, but they'd always spring back to straight rods. Went on increasingly amusing avenues with width, density, bend resistance etc... could make bendy bamboo poles, but as soon as the structure fell apart, they'd spring back into straight poles. More research required...
wire solver and dynamic constraint networks (sticky wires)
Wire dynamic constraint.gif
Download scene: File:wire_constraint_network_v02.hipnc
Excellent question from the sidefx forum inspired this experiment. Made a few more things clear from the crindler post, and covered a new use for sop solvers I hadn't tried before.
To get worldspace pins, its essentially the same as a regular constraint, ie, it has to be an edge that connects to your wire geo using @anchor_id. In this case however, one side of the edge links to a wire point, and the other end has its @anchor_id set to -1. Ie, it can't find a point on the wire geo to link, so it gets locked to the world instead.
Making these special edges (edge cases? *boomtish*) was tricker than I expected. There might be a more elegant way, but I did this:
 1. Isolated the locked points I wanted (the red points in the gif above)
 2. Duplicated them, and gave the duplicates a temporary attribute, @duplicate=1
 3. Used an add sop in prim mode, group by attribute, using @anchor_id. This makes a too-small-to-see polywire for each endpoint
 4. Isolating to only points where @duplicate=1, set their @anchor_id to -1
 5. Delete the @duplicate attribute, don't need it any more
To animate the anchors, only move the ones that have an @anchor_id of -1, they'll drag the wire points along.
The nice part of this setup is the 'sticky curves'. This is done using a solver sop, inside the wire sim, connected to the constraint network. Normally this is used to delete constraint edges when they get beyond a certain force, but instead here it's used to add new edges. A sop solver within a dopnet gives you inputs for the dop geometry itself, impacts, feedbacks, and relationship geometry (ie, constraints).
Here we're only interested in the dop geometry and the constraints. Making sure the dop geo input is pulling in the 'live' sim, its basically identical to creating the constraint geo in regular sops; a connect-adjacent-pieces sop is connected to the dop geo, using a low distance threshold. When edges are made, they get tagged with the @constraint_name attribute as before (but with a unique name this time, 'springdyn'), points are tagged with @name=wire so they get recognised by the sim, and most importantly, they're merged with the existing constraint network.
I then have another spring relationship looking for the name 'springdyn', and sure enough, as those edges are created, they're converted into springs (the cyan nodes in the gif), and do their thing.
Flip
Stopping volume loss
Download scene: File:flip_simple.hip
A few people had mentioned that they'd setup a simple water-in-cup flip sim, and find that it'd quickly dissolve away to nothing, like this:
Flip evaporate.gif
In a simple case like this, its often to do with the relationship between the 3 main controls on the flip object; particle separation, particle radius scale, and grid scale.
Flip object options.gif
Particle separation is how far apart particles try and stay. Because flip creates particles when it finds gaps, and deletes them when they get too close, this also determines the amount of particles in the sim, and therefore the detail in the sim.
Flip particle sep.gif
So you'd assume that the bigger the particle separation, you should get less particles, but also more volume retained (bigger particles = bigger space taken up, right?) Well as shown in the first gif, when they get beyond a certain threshold, its as if there's no volume at all, and the entire system just collapses to nothing. Using the particle scale multiplier (which does as its name implies, scales the particle pscale) doesn't help.
What does grid size do? Well, flip is more complicated than I ever hope to understand, but the core idea is that particles have nice chaotic motion, but suck at volume pre

How to make Roman coins
Ebi-kun has had an interest in ancient Rome and gladiators recently so we decided to make some Roman coins.
We used a basic salt dough and added brown food colour.
Salt dough recipe
2 cups of plain flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 - 3/4 cup hot water
+ brown food colour
Just throw everything into a bowl and mix until you get a dough. Then take a small lump of dough, roll it into a ball the squash it flat. We experimented with different tools but found the end of a paintbrush worked best for engraving the numbers.
We baked them at 180c for 10 minutes then turned them over and gave them another 5 minutes.
Once they had cooled we painted them with varnish, Ebi-kun is a bit heavy handed with the varnish so some came out a bit splogy.

 1. What a great idea!! We have made some for my sons Roman topic at school, really enjoyed this and he secretly was learning about roman numerals without really knowing about it!!! Don't tell him LOL
Thank you!

SETTLEMENT TYPE AS AN HISTORIC CATEGORY (EXAMPLE OF PODBIEL VILLAGE)
Languages of publication
The geography of settlement classified most Slovak villages with compact settlement as the street-type. Only new innovations from the 2nd half of the 20th century can be perceived. The author started observing this development in 1952 and he looked into the settlement structure in the village Podbiel (Orava region) in 1962. This analysis provided rich information concerning the urbanization process. 54% of wooden houses stood there in 1962. 89% out of them contained all signs of the tradition whose climax came in the mid-19th century. The area taking 40% of Podbiel village along the road offered most information because there survived the former dense buildings in the most thickly situated yards. On the upper side of the road, every four yard-wings had the same length of yard plots, differing from the length of neighbouring group of yard-wings. Each group of yard-wings constitutes a unit of the former large yard. The division of the large yards depended on the transit road connecting villages in the Orava valley and thus also the Danubian Basin with Cracow, Poland. The settlement on the lower side of the road developed later than the chapel (built in 1780) whose area had been demarcated. The author's historical analysis of demographic and social transformations of Podbiel village clarified the periodization of the settlement (urbanizing) process. During the six periods, the settlement there developed from the chain-type through large yards up to the maximum segmentation creating narrow yards shared by three to seven farmers and cottagers. Podbiel village was a centre of craft and industrial production from the late 18th century (with deep social differentiation). Other types of the settlement development in different time periods differed from the villages with local tracks leading far from transit roads (for example Hrustin). They grew up from the chain-type to the street-type with broad close yards of individual farmers.

In classical music tradition such a dramatic break in the music (not so much a false ending) is called a grand pause, a caesura, or very informally, railroad tracks.
A grand pause is a more expansive break, often notated with a whole measure of rest, sometimes with the initials "G.P." over the bar.
A caesura is typically a shorter break that often happens abruptly. It's notated with two right-slanting parallel lines (looking like railroad tracks, whence the informal label) that can be placed at any point within the measure.
Your Yanni example is somewhere in the middle of the two, and could be appropriately called either one - either a shorter grand pause or a caesura.

In music theory, it simply referred to as a whole rest or a blank measure. But in sound engineering and electronic music design, the simulation of a malfunction, false-start/stop etc is referred to as an "edit" which comes from "edited glitch" and is also sometimes shortened to "itch" for the meaning of the word itch and how an intentional error in a composition creates the feeling of an itch that needs to be scratched, the scratch being the point in the composition where the edit resolves itself, having temporarily tricked the listener into thinking that something may have gone wrong.
For wild examples of edits in electronic music, see the works of composer/producer James Holden, especially his piece "a break in the clouds" which was meant to introduce the edit-techno genre as the first release on his record label "border community" -- better still, see his dub remix of Britney Spears' "Breathe on Me" _URL_ which is almost 100% edits & itches with ONE final satisfying scratching of the edit-gl/itch.

Heaven at North Pole described in many Cultures
Vedas have described that Gods reside at north direction and one day for them is equivalent to one year for humans.
This was based on idea that north pole has six months of sunlight and six months of darkness, which makes it day and night for one year.
Varaha Mihir, one the most famous Indian astronomer (around 6th century AD), identified North Pole as the location of Meru in his celebrated work Panch-siddhāntikā.
heaven at north pole
Indian Historian and Freedom-fighter, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, in his phenomenal work titled, 'The Arctic Home of the Vedas', written in late 19th century, gives an extremely detailed as well as convincing account based on the literary evidence of various Slokas from Rig Veda and the Zoroastrian Avesta that point to an Arctic Home of the ancient Aryans.
The original home of Aryans was at the North Pole, from which they had to emigrate due to the Ice deluge 10,000 years ago.
Around 8000 BCE, the age of migration from the original home began when the survivors roamed over the northern parts of Europe and Asia in search of lands suitable for new settlements. If we accept this, we can easily understand the legends of Noah and Manu, the progenitors of mankind in this current age.
More than half a dozen World Mythologies locate their sacred lands at the North Pole.
 - Norse myths place their 'Land of Immortality' at the North Pole and their legends talk about a World Tree called YGGDRASIL that connects Heaven, Earth and Hell just like Meru.
Zoroastrian Avesta revered by the Persians (Parsis), mentions the Aryanam Vaijah the ancient land of Aryans as the Best-of-all-places and situated up in the North, above the other six world zones. At the beginning of the current age, the god Ahura Mazda warned of an impending fierce winter (Ice Age?!?) and advised its denizens to migrate to other locations.
meru mountain earth axisSurya Siddantha mentions a Meru in the middle of Earth, a Sumeru at the North Pole and a Kumeru at the South pole.
Which means that the structure called Meru stretches from pole to pole and Hell exists at South Pole, just like Heaven at North Pole.
Meru does not refer to a mountain at all but instead is an allegory for the Earth's Axis of Rotation.
Interestingly there is a Mount Meru in Tanzania, which roughly corresponds to the geographic Center of the Earth.The Mountain is even worshipped by the local tribes as an abode of Gods.
Another ancient Sanskrit text, the Narpatijayacharya mentions Sumeru as being present in the middle of the Earth, but not visible to humans.

Honoring ancient petroglyphs in Utah to be mammoth event
Courtesy of Andrew Gulliford
Fort Lewis College Professor Andrew Gulliford, who wrote earlier this year about the discovery of mammoth petroglyphs near Bluff, Utah, is tickled by the creative offering some residents of the town are making to the ancient rock art.
On Dec. 21 - the winter solstice - they will burn a 16-foot-tall mammoth effigy.
"Who needs to go to Nevada for the Burning Man Festival when you can go to Bluff and burn a mammoth?" Gulliford wrote in an email with a photo of the mammoth attached.
Joe Pachak, a rock expert and local artist who was the first to discover the petroglyph, said the idea of the burning is to draw attention to the petroglyphs.
"This will promote more recording by scientists of rock art in the future," he said.
The petroglyphs, first of discovered in 1987, have long been a subject of controversy.
Scientists question whether these illustrations really depict mammoths, and many residents of the town have advocated for further protection of the site where they were discovered.
Since the first discovery, more possible mammoth petroglyphs have been discovered.
Gulliford, in his Durango Herald and Cortez Journal column "Gulliford's Travels," also argued for further protection by the Bureau of Land Management.
The wooden mammoth was built over a three-week period by Pachak and local Bluff residents using only sticks and two support poles. It is built to the scale of an actual mammoth.
Pachak said many volunteers helped with the making of the mammoth, with a group doing the design and about 30 others assisting in construction on a volunteer basis. The sculpture has been on display for a week.
Gulliford is a frequent visitor to Bluff.
"What really appealed to me is the size of the mammoth - it's to scale," he said. "Mammoths are smaller than mastodons, and I didn't know that."
Gulliford plans to go to Bluff for the burning.
The mammoth will be burned at 8 p.m. in a ceremony complete with drumming and flaming darts to set the structure on fire.
Pachak said residents of Bluff are excited about the petroglyphs, which, at about 13,000 years old, may be some of the oldest rock art in North America.
In March, a group of 30 volunteers led by resident Anne Phillips recorded the fourth mammoth petroglyph.
Pachak hopes to see these practices continue because it could lead to more discoveries in the future.
"That's why it's very important to record the rock art - the other elements were discovered by documenting very well," he said.

"Being a Parent is Keeping Active and Healthy Together."
Parenting Limerick's fourth phase of our two year Positive Parenting campaign starts today, Monday, November 2nd, 2015. For the next two months, we will be promoting the message that an important part of being a parent is taking the time to keep active and healthy as a family. Eating Well, Getting Exercise, Taking Care of Body and Mind…Keeping Active and Healthy Together will benefit the whole family. The healthy habits formed in childhood will serve your children for the rest of their lives.
Most parents struggle to find time to juggle all of the demands of daily life. After a long, hard day, it can be challenging to prepare a healthy dinner and even more challenging to get out and about, especially as the early nights settle in. During this campaign, however, we are encouraging families to make small changes in their daily routines to improve their overall health.. This may be as simple as getting the children involved in making a healthy dinner (a plastic knife and an onion or tomato can keep small hands busy for quite awhile) or taking a stroll together as a family after dinner to look at the stars. For older children, it may be teaching them how to prepare a simple meal or encouraging them to take up a sport or class.
As part of promoting positive interactions campaign, Parenting Limerick will be hosting a series of interactive workshops to encourage parents to take some time to keep healthy and active with their children. Workshops will run throughout the 8 week campaign.
If you would like to find out about the range of parenting and family supports available in Limerick, please click here.
The current Positive Parenting campaign features images of local parents and children doing things together to support their health. Look for us on buses, on posters in your local area, in the local media, on social media and here on _URL_. This is part of a population approach to promoting and supporting Positive Parenting in Limerick and is supported by Parenting Limerick and ABC Start Right Limerick.

Etymology and History of the Stole/Liturgical Vestment/ Symbol of Service/Linked to Washing of Feet
"The word stole derives via the Latin stola, from the Greek στολή (stolē), "garment", originally "array" or opted by the Church of Rome about the seventh century (the stole having also been adopted in other locales prior to this), the stole became gradually narrower and so richly ornamented that it developed into a mark of dignity. Nowadays, the stole is usually wider and can be made from a wide variety of material. There are many theories as to the "ancestry" of the stole. Some say it came from the tallit(Jewish prayer mantle), because it is very similar to the present usage (as in the minister puts it on when he or she leads in prayer) but this theory is no longer regarded much today. More popular is the theory that the stole originated from a kind of liturgical napkin called an orarium(cf. orarion) very similar to the sudarium. In fact, in many places the stole is called the orarium. Therefore it is linked to the napkin used by Christ in washing the feet of his disciples, and is a fitting symbol of the yoke of Christ, the yoke of service...."

The assassination of Julius Caesar on the 15th of March 44 BC was a turning point in Roman history. Since then, the Ides of March became notorious as being associated with death thanks to Shakespeare's famous play "Julius Caesar". However, long before the Ides of March became associated with Julius Caesar's murder, it was a day of celebration for the ancient goddess Anna Perenna, a goddess beloved by the common people.
Who is Anna Perenna?
Anna Perenna's two names both refer to the year: anna meaning 'to live through a year', while perenna means 'last many years' – the two words are still seen in the English words annual and perennial. As her concern seems to be cycles of renewal and connecting the past to the present, the festival of Anna Perenna was full of contradictions such as old and new as well as death and rebirth. The month of March itself was believed to be the first month of the year. It was a time when springtime was in full bloom and newness was all around. Therefore, the celebration would have marked the first full moon in the year in the old lunar Roman calendar.
Anna Perenna, a goddess of celebration
On the evening of the 15th of March, people would camp out at the first milestone on the Via Flaminia, Anna Perenna's sacred grove of fruit trees by the banks of the Tiber. The people would picnic merrily into the night. They would feast, dance, sing and celebrate with wine, toasting to health and long life. As it was believed that one would live as many years as the cups of wine one could drink, it was of course traditional to get extremely drunk. Through her festival, Anna Perenna gave a sacred space for free and uninhibited speech.
Anna Perenna, a goddess of legends
In Fausti, Ovid reports a Roman legend that identifies Anna Perenna as the sister of Dido, the Carthaginian founder in Virgil's Aeneid. To escape their brother Pygmalion after the death of Dido, Anna led a group of refugees to find refuge in the home of Battus, the king of Malta. After protecting them for three years, Battus counselled Anna to flee and find a new place of exile for her own safety and those of her people as her brother was seeking war against Malta to bring her back to Carthage. Once again forced to flee over the seas, Anna and her people were shipwrecked on the coasts of Latium where they were then saved and hosted in Aeneas' settlement of Lavinium.
Anna Perenna, a non-violent deification
Anna Perenna brought cakes to the plebeians and kept them fed during their protest. This made her very popular among the common people who then considered her a goddess after her death. After old Anna had become a goddess, she impersonated Minerva to gain admission to the god Mars' bedchamber, leading to the coarse jokes and coarse songs used at Anna Perenna's festivities. Mars and Anna Perenna were also associated as cult partners, as the festival of Anna Perenna falls in the month dedicated to Mars.
Beware the Ides of March?
Anna Perenna's feast day was an occasion of great joy and celebration for the common people, and it wasn't until centuries later that the Ides of March became associated with death. Instead, it was a day to honor a goddess who embodied renewal and connection to the past. So, rather than "Beware the Ides of March", perhaps we should celebrate the day as the ancient Romans once did and raise a cup of wine to the goddess Anna Perenna and the cycles of renewal.

Locus of control, pupil control ideology, occupational stress, and teachers' attitudes toward inclusive education
The educational research literature suggests that teachers experiencing chronic occupational stress develop feelings of powerlessness, express cynical attitudes, and demonstrate resistance to change and innovation. Furthermore, the degree of stress experienced by teachers has been correlated with their locus of control and pupil control orientations. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to examine the differential effects of the predictor variables of teachers' locus of control, pupil control ideology, and perceived occupational stress on the criterion variable of attitudes toward inclusive education.^ General education teachers (N = 117) from a suburban school district in New York volunteered to participate in the study. The teachers anonymously completed the following questionnaires: (a) Attitudes Toward Inclusive Education Scale, (b) Pupil Control Ideology Form, (c) Teacher Locus of Control Scale, (d) Teacher Stress Inventory, and (e) demographic fact sheet.^ Inferential statistical analyses (i.e., t tests, analyses of variance, and Pearson product-moment correlations) were computed on the teacher characteristics and the variables under investigation. Differences were observed between teachers' age levels and perceived occupational stress, as well as between teachers' locus of control and grade level taught. Furthermore, considerable interrelatedness was found among all the research variables.^ Path analyses were conducted to estimate causation from the correlational data obtained from the total sample. Significant direct relationships were found between (a) pupil control ideology and occupational stress and (b) occupational stress and attitudes toward inclusive education. Alternative path models provided more parsimonious fits to the sample data, wherein pupil control ideology and locus of control accounted for most of the variance in attitudes toward inclusive education. These models suggested that teachers' control beliefs (i.e., locus of control and pupil control ideology), independent of occupational stress, significantly affected attitude formation. ^

Why Now? - If the Occoquan Dam has been there for 50 years, why are you just now installing a siren system?
Great question! We have installed the sirens for two reasons. First, because of changing regulatory requirements, our regulatory agency - the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission - has suggested that we install a sound-related system to inform people downstream of the dam in the extremely unlikely event of a dam structural failure. The second reason is that when we worked with the communities closest to the dam, namely the Town of Occoquan, it was the Town's feeling that a siren system would be the most effective and desired form of communication to alert people to the extremely unlikely event of a dam failure.
How strong is the dam?
Very strong. The structural integrity of the Occoquan Dam is very sound. In fact, through rigorous maintenance and improvements, it is even stronger today than when it was constructed. The dam is approximately 72 feet tall and 70 feet wide at its widest point. It is anchored to the bedrock below the bottom of the dam and to the sides of the reservoir. It contains more than 100,000 cubic yards of reinforced concrete. That is equivalent to:

text: The photoelectric response of pure silica glasses excited by excimer lasers has been studied. The samples were made under various conditions. Photoelectric polarization of samples due to the Dember effect has been registered. The signal was recorded under the conditions of a space charge limited current. The space charge resulting from the capture of electrons and holes creates a static electric field that prevents diffusion of released charge carriers. The current registration in the external circuit stops, despite the continuation of photoexcitation. This effect was used as a fact of measuring the photocurrent in the sample volume instead of the parasitic current that is not associated with the sample. The screen has been chosen to prevent the influence of a spurious signal. It has been found that charge carriers are released when excited in the spectral absorption range of localized states of silica. Based on the Dember effect, the sign of the photoelectric response shows the type of charge carriers – an electron or a hole is mobile. Thus, a sample containing aluminum without alkali ions gives a negative signal, which indicates the diffusion of electrons at 290 K, since aluminum is an effective hole trap. An oxygen-deficient sample at 290 K provides a positive signal indicating the diffusion of holes, because the center of oxygen deficiency is an effective electron trap. This sample at 100 K provides a negative signal due to the effective self-trapping of holes.

Promoting Fruit and Vegetable Consumption: Are Coupons More Effective than Pure Price Discounts?
by Diansheng Dong
and Ephraim Leibtag
Economic Research Report No. (ERR-96) 31 pp, June 2010
The U.S. Department of Agriculture administers food and nutrition assistance programs that promote fruit and vegetable consumption. But consumption remains relatively low, with price cited as the main deterrent.
What Is the Issue?
A price-discount strategy in conjunction with existing programs might encourage participants in food and nutrition assistance programs to consume more fruits and vegetables. This study looks at coupons and price discounts, two methods of lowering the cost of fruits and vegetables, and uses household purchase data and a consumer demand model to determine which method may be more successful in encouraging produce consumption.
What Did the Study Find?
Coupons influence consumer behavior through a dual effect-a price-discount effect and an informational advertising effect. Because of this dual effect, the use of a coupon to increase fruit and vegetable purchases may be more effective than a pure price-discount policy or other noncoupon promotion.
- For a 10-percent coupon usage rate, lowering prices by 10 percent with a coupon would increase average weekly quantity purchases by 2 percent for fruits and 2.1 percent for vegetables. (A"coupon usage" rate is defined as the percentage of purchases in which households use the coupon when buying fruits and vegetables in a given time period.) A 30-percent usage rate simulation shows a larger effect-over 6 percent for fruits and over 6.5 percent for vegetables-while a 50-percent usage rate shows just over a 10-percent effect for both fruits and vegetables.
- By comparison, a pure price discount of 10 percent would likely have about a 6-percent effect for both fruits and vegetables.
- If coupon usage turned out to be less than 30 percent, then the overall effect of coupons would be lower than a pure price discount policy because the price discount applies to everybody (it has a 100-percent usage rate).
- The informational effect of coupons might decline as coupon use became more common or if coupons were distributed electronically instead of in paper form.
- Even a 10-percent increase in purchases of fruits and vegetables-the result assuming the highest coupon usage rate-would still leave consumption at about 65 percent of the recommended level of 5 or more servings a day.
The success of attempts to use coupons to increase consumption of fruits and vegetable by low-income households would depend on the distribution method (paper or electronic), on the number of households that actually use the coupons, on the size of the discount offered by the coupon, and on the coupon's ease of use.
How Was the Study Conducted?
This analysis relies on data from the 2004 Nielsen Homescan panel. The data include household purchase information for fruits and vegetables, coupon usage information, and households' demographic characteristics. The 2004 panel was made up of 8,482 households that reported purchases of products marked with bar codes as well as other purchases.
To estimate the dual effect of coupons on fruit and vegetable demand, the marked purchase renewal model was used, including three variables that may affect purchase quantity and/or frequency: (1) the gross price paid, (2) an indicator variable that tracks whether a coupon was used, and (3) the value of a redeemed coupon used during a given shopping trip. Elasticity estimates from the analysis then were used to conduct a simulation to compare the effect of coupons as compared with a pure price discount on fruit and vegetable purchase behavior.


Assignment: The Nurse Leader as Knowledge Worker
The term "knowledge worker" was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker's time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.Reference: Drucker, P. (1959). The landmarks of tomorrow.

Create speakable Safari bookmarks
Speech recognition is one of those features that has been present in the Mac OS for many years, and yet it's not widely used—for any number of reasons, including practicality in noisy office environments. However, it's actually a fairly powerful technology, as today's tip may help demonstrate. (If you're familiar with how speech recognition works on OS X, you can skip directly down to the hint below.)
Before you can use speech recognition on OS X, you must first enable it. Open System Preferences -> Speech, and click the On button next to Speakable Items on the Speech Recognition tab. A small round window will appear; that's the speech recognition controller. The Esc in the blue box indicates the key you'll press to activate recognition—by default, it's set to Escape, though you can change this in the Speech System Preferences panel. It's also set up to only listen while you have the Escape key held down.
Now that it's enabled, exactly what can you do with it? Quite a bit; click the small arrow at the bottom of the circle and choose Open Speech Commands Window from the drop-down menu. This window contains a list of commands that you can say to your Mac—things like get my mail or open my browser, for instance, can be found in the Speakable Items section of the Commands portion of the window. You can do quite a bit with the commands shown here; have fun!
When you're in certain applications, you'll also see an entry for that application in the Commands section. Launch Safari, for instance, and look at the Commands section of the Speech Commands window, and you'll see a Safari entry. Click the triangle, and you'll see Safari's speech commands library. One of those commands, Make This Page Speakable, is the key to making speakable bookmarks. The process is actually quite simple: load the page you want to turn into a speakable bookmark (note that it does not have to be a page that you've bookmarked in Safari). Then press and hold Escape (or whatever keys you've set to activate speech recognition) and say make this page speakable. If you do it right, you'll hear a "whit" as the system recognizes you've sent it a command, and you'll see the dialog pictured above right.
Enter a short, easily-pronounced name into the text box, then click OK. That's it; you've created a speakable bookmark! I created a short movie demonstrating how you can load sites by speaking the name you've assigned (while pressing Escape to activate speech recognition); it also shows how to create a new speakable bookmark:
As you can see, speakable bookmarks do work—as long as your environment is quiet enough to allow speech recognition. There's much more you can do with this feature, of course; enable it and you may find yourself talking to your computer more often.

TECH TIP: Picatinny vs. Weaver Rail Specifications
Readers often ask "What's the difference between a Weaver scope rail and a Picatinny Rail?" The answer is not as simple as it seems. The dimensions of a Picatinny Rail should be consistent (from one rail-maker to another), since there IS a government spec. Conversely, there is some variance in "Weaver-style" rails. The width of the groove is the most important difference between Picatinny Rails and weaver rails. "Mil-spec" Picatinny rails will have a grove width of 0.206″ while Weaver rails typically have a narrower, 0.180″ groove width.
Brownell's has a helpful GunTech Article that discusses the Picatinny Rail vs. Weaver Rail. That article explains:
"What are the differences between the 'Picatinny' and the 'Weaver' systems? The profile of the two systems is virtually identical. Depending on the quality of the machining done by the manufacturer, the two systems should be indistinguishable from the profile. The key difference lies in the placement of the recoil grooves and with width of the grooves. MIL-STD-1913 (Picatinny) grooves are.206″ wide and have a center-to-center width of.394". The placement of these grooves has to be consistent in order for it to be a true 'Picatinny'MIL-STD system. Weaver systems have a.180" width of recoil groove and are not necessarily consistent in a center-to-center measurement from one groove to the next.
In many instances, a Weaver system has a specific application that it is machined for, so interchangeability is not necessarily an issue. A MIL-STD-1913 system must adhere to the specifications listed above in order for it to be considered MIL-STD, since the military desires uniformity in the recoil grooves to allow for different systems to be mounted on the weapon with no concern for compatibility.
Now, what does this mean to you? Boiled down, it means that accessories designed for a Weaver system will, in most cases, fit on a 'Picatinny' system. The reverse, however, is probably not the case. Due to the larger recoil groove, 'Picatinny' accessories will not fit a Weaver system. There are, of course, exceptions to every rule, but for a good rule-of-thumb, [full-width] 'Picatinny' won't fit Weaver, but Weaver will fit 'Picatinny'."

sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num-Returns the name and data for a PGO item identified by its effective UNIX number
_TAG_ void sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num( sec_rgy_handle_t context, sec_rgy_domain_t name_domain, sec_rgy_name_t scope, signed32 unix_id, boolean32 allow_aliases, sec_rgy_cursor_t *item_cursor, sec_rgy_pgo_item_t *pgo_item, sec_rgy_name_t name, boolean32 *overridden, error_status_t *status);
An opaque handle bound to a registry server. Use sec_rgy_site_open() to acquire a bound handle.
This variable identifies the type of the principal, group, or organization (PGO) item identified by the given name. The valid values are as follows:
The UNIX number identifies a principal.
The UNIX number identifies a group.
Note that this function does not support the value sec_rgy_domain_org.
A character string (type sec_rgy_name_t) containing the scope of the desired search. The registry database is designed to accommodate a tree-structured name hierarchy. The scope of a search is the name of the branch under which the search takes place. For example, all names in a registry might start with /alpha, and be divided further into /beta or /gamma. To search only the part of the database under /beta, the scope of the search would be /alpha/beta, and any resulting PGO items would have names beginning with this string. Note that these naming conventions need not have anything to do with group or organization PGO item membership lists.
The UNIX number of the desired registry PGO item.
A boolean32 value indicating whether to search for a primary PGO item, or whether the search can be satisfied with an alias. If TRUE, the routine returns the next entry found for the PGO item. If FALSE, the routine returns only the primary entry.
An opaque pointer indicating a specific PGO item entry in the registry database. The sec_rgy_pgo_get_next() routine returns the PGO item indicated by item_cursor, and advances the cursor to point to the next item in the database. When the end of the list of entries is reached, the routine returns the value sec_rgy_no_more_entries in the status parameter. Use sec_rgy_cursor_reset() to reset the cursor.
A pointer to a sec_rgy_pgo_item_t structure to receive the data for the returned PGO item. The data in this structure includes the PGO item's name, UUID, UNIX number (if any), and administrative data, such as whether the item, if a principal, may have a concurrent group set. The data is as it appears in the registry, for that UNIX number, even though some of the fields may have been overridden locally.
A pointer to a sec_rgy_name_t character string containing the returned name for the PGO item. This string might contain a local override value if the supplied UNIX number is found in the passwd_override or group_override file.
A pointer to a boolean32 value indicating whether or not the supplied UNIX number has an entry in the local override file (passwd_override or group_override).
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.
The sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num() routine returns the name and data for a PGO item. The desired item is identified by its type (domain) and its UNIX number.
This routine is similar to the sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_unix_num() routine. The difference between the routines is that sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num() first searches the local override files for the respective name_domain for a match with the supplied UNIX number. If an override match is found, and an account or group name is found in that entry, then that name is used to obtain PGO data from the registry and the value of the overridden parameter is set to TRUE.
The item_cursor parameter specifies the starting point for the search through the registry database. It provides an automatic place holder in the database. The routine automatically updates this variable to point to the next PGO item after the returned item. The returned cursor location can be supplied on a subsequent database access call that also uses a PGO item cursor.
Permissions RequiredThe sec_rgy_pgo_get_by_eff_unix_num() routine requires the r (read) permission on the PGO item to be viewed.
There are several different types of cursors used in the registry Application Programmer Interface (API). Some cursors point to PGO items, others point to members in a membership list, and others point to account data. Do not use a cursor for one sort of object in a call expecting another sort of object. For example, you cannot use the same cursor on a call to sec_rgy_acct_get_projlist() and sec_rgy_pgo_get_next(). The behavior in this case is undefined.
Furthermore, cursors are specific to a server. A cursor pointing into one replica of the registry database is useless as a pointer into another replica.
Use sec_rgy_cursor_reset() to renew a cursor for use with another call or for another server.
The idl file from which dce/pgo.h was derived.
The local group override file.
The local password override file.
The call was successful.
The cursor is at the end of the list of PGO items.
The specified PGO item was not found.
The DCE Registry Server is unavailable.

Due to the drought, the 2023 bison herd has left Cedar Creek. The Oak Savanna Trail remains open until Sept 30th, and volunteers continue to staff the gazebo on Saturdays.
Bison and savanna research
In 2018, researchers at Cedar Creek initiated a new project that brought bison to our oak savannas as part of our decades-long work on savanna dynamics and restoration. This exciting opportunity is funded by Minnesota's Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, which helps maintain, restore and enhance Minnesota's environment and natural resources. Below are some informational resources, updates, and answers to frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact researcher Forest Isbell via email ( _EMAIL_ ).

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the bison be here year round?
The bison are only at Cedar Creek during the growing season, from approximately late May through some time in the fall (mid-September in 2018, mid-October in 2019, 2020 and 2021, late September in 2022, early August in 2023). They arrive after prescribed burn season has finished, and depart when available grass on the landscape declines.
Where do the bison come from?
Will I be able to see the bison or will they be off limits to the public?
We hope so! During the summer and early fall when the herd is onsite, the bison trail extension is open daily for self-guided walking. The gazebo is generally staffed by volunteers on Saturdays. Keep an eye on Cedar Creek's website and facebook page for more details on these and other opportunities to visit as they are scheduled! Do keep in mind that this is not a zoo - the bison have 210+ acres of rolling oak savanna to roam, and they may not be visible even during scheduled events or open hours!
Will I still be able to hike and ski on the Fish Lake Nature Trail?
There is no change in access to the Fish Lake hiking trail, which remains open year-round and is outside the bison enclosure. Similarly, there is no change in access to the ski trails, which remain open when there is snow on the ground (note that bison will not be present on the property when there is snow). As always, please remember that no dogs are ever allowed on the trails and that you must stick to the marked trails and roads to avoid damaging research projects.
What should I do if I see an escaped bison?
Please call 911 and report your sighting to the dispatcher. This will initiate a phone tree that will alert Cedar Creek staff and project scientists, as well as the team in charge of retrieving the animal and returning it to the enclosure.
How many bison will there be?
In summer 2018, there were 32 bison onsite for three months. In 2019 and 2020, we hosted 17 males for nearly 5 months. 2021 brought 16 bison to our oak savannas. In 2022 and 2023, we hosted 18 individuals. Numbers are being kept low to ensure that there will be plenty of grazeable land available for each bison.
How can I learn more about bison?
We hope you'll attend a public event at Cedar Creek during the summer months, and come see our bison herd and our research project in person! While the bison are away from Cedar Creek, we recommend the National Parks Service series "Bison Bellows". This 52-week set of short articles from 2015 and 2016 covers bison ecology and history, celebrates the heroes of bison conservation, and shares information about the 16+ bison herds managed by the federal government.

Middle school students win STEM competition
A team of Dorseyville Middle School students recently won first place at the Hack the Ram competition. The students are eighth-graders Steven Hu, Kanisk Prakash and Siddarth Srinivasan, and seventh-grader PJ Hart.
Hack the Ram was a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) 12-hour invention marathon. The purpose of hackathons is to create technology with like-minded peers in a collaborative environment. As part of the contest, students were tasked to come up with a way to support environmental/green initiatives. They were then given 10 hours of "hacking time" to create a website, app, program, robot or other technology initiative to support the theme. The Dorseyville Middle School students developed a prototype website that provided information on common recycling errors, enabled individuals to search for nearby recycling centers and also for those centers to post their information, and enabled individuals to calculate their carbon footprint. The Dorseyville students each won a GPS drone for their efforts.
The competition was held January 27, 2024, at Pine-Richland High School and was open to students from grades 6-12 from across the greater Pittsburgh area.

Summary: Chapter 3
to Separation Logic
c 2009 John C. Reynolds
February 17, 2009
From assertions, we move on to specifications, which describe the behavior
of commands. In this chapter, we will define the syntax and meaning of specifications, give and illustrate inference rules for proving valid specifications,
and define a compact form of proof called an "annotated specification".
Since separation logic has been built upon it, we will review the basics of
Hoare logic. Further descriptions of this logic, including many examples of
proofs, have been given by the author [92, Chapters 1 and 2], [96, Chapters
3 and 4]. A more theoretical view appears in [97, Chapter 8].
The original papers by Hoare [15, 16], as well as earlier work by Naur
and Floyd, are still well worth reading.
3.1 Hoare Triples
For much of these notes, the only kind of specification will be the Hoare triple,
which consists of two assertions surrounding a command. More precisely,
there are two forms of Hoare triple.


Tips for Heated up Devices by Apple Phone Repair Stores in Tomball
Different issues happen to various electronic gadgets; heating up is the one that can cause further problems. This article will explain the causes of this heating up, and the store offering Apple phone repair in Tomball will provide tips to safeguard the gadgets from further damaging them.
Stores Providing Apple phone repair in Tomball Explain Heating up
The issue of warming up can be experienced by all electronic device clients, particularly cell phones. However, a significant number of people don't know about the reasons for this heating up. The following points will explain the causes of the gadget warming up.
 1. People who have jobs utilizing electronic gadgets throughout the day will have to experience the arming up of the device situation. The risk of heating up is not only for the gadget but also for the user's well-being and is in danger.
 2. Some people continuously utilize the device's camera, not realizing it can cause the cell phone's warm up. The main explanation is that the camera utilizes all three components; CPU, screen, and battery.
 3. When device apps are continuously running, regardless of whether you have shut them, then this means that a virus or Malware has attacked your device. This will eventually heat the device, and you must take them for electronics repair in Tomball.
 4. If you keep your device's brightness to a maximum level, then your device will start to heat up. Also, another point related to screen brightness is that playing games or watching videos of a high resolution will also heat your device.
Tips by Cell Phone Repair Store in Tomball
When you take your device to a repair store like Alex iPhone, the technicians there will advise you on tips for taking care of your device to ensure that they don't heat up. The following tips ensure that the devices are not heating up.
Break up the Device Utilization Time
You might be enjoying a good movie or playing your favorite game, but your health and the devices need to take breaks if you plan to use the gadget for the whole day.
Don't let Background Apps Run Continuously
Running background apps while the phone is off can also cause the gadget to heat up. The reason is that the CPU is continuously running to keep the apps active. Individuals should keep these apps closed and open when they are used.
Try not to Leave Gadget in the Sun
Some people might leave their devices in the sun to dry up because the gadgets have water inside. This can be dangerous because the device will heat up when it is opened afterward. Avoid leaving your cell phone in the sun because it will heat up and cause damage.
These tips by technicians at stores providing Apple phone repair in Tomball will benefit the users as they save gadgets from heating up. Also, the device users should know the reasons behind this vital issue.

Weekly report # 9
Work done ::
- I tried adding parser so that it calls my parsing function when it comes across the SVG part in the Mapfile.
- I have been looking at the techniques in generating the image file from the SVG specification.
Plan for next week:
- Resolve the problem of storing data.whether to use pixmaps or someother thing on my own.
- Write the first working result using SVG_test.cpp present in the sources of AGG. Implement a SVG parser using AGG/SVG Viewer and make it render into an in-memory pixmap.
I have been looking at the techniques in generating the image file from the SVG specification and have run into the following problems:
- In the MapServer code, where is the Mapfile getting parsed? I want to add to the parser so that it calls my parsing function when it comes across the SVG part in the Mapfile.
- How exactly do I store the SVG data? You mentioned pixmaps, but the concept is very generic. Is there some specific format that MapServer already uses or should I be coming up with my own format (eg. a 2D array of int's)?
- Once the pixmap is created, we had discussed about storing different versions of the SVG symbol based on orientation and size. Do we want this to be on demand (the user requests a new size or orientation, so we generate one and add it to the cache) or is it done automatically in the beggining for all possible sizes and rotations (seems like a bad idea!).
