We investigate systems that combine genetic algorithm (GA) search with case-based reasoning (CBR) principles. Such Case Injected Genetic AlgoRithms (CIGAR) lead to a new paradigm for machine learning with special emphasis on design, optimization, and human modeling. CIGAR learns to take less time and produce better quality solutions as it gains experience. Empirical results from logic design, combinatorial optimization, and other applications show that these systems perform remarkably well across a variety of problem domains and solution representations.

There is a well known correspondence between line bundles over curves and divisors. For each line bundle, consider a rational section, take poles and zeros and we have a corresponding divisor (up to linear equivalence ). But what if there is no such section? For example, consider a line bundle over $\mathbb{P}^1$ with transition function $e^{1/z}$ with $z \neq 0,\infty$. What is the degree of this line bundle?

The transition function is holomorphic at $\infty$ so the line bundle is trivial. – Torsten Ekedahl Jul 20 '11 at 6:33
Dear Torsten, your argument is a little incomplete. After all, the non-trivial bundle $\mathcal O(k)$ for $k>0$ has as transition function $1/z^k$, which is holomorphic at $\infty$. The crucial point is that indeed $e^{1/z}$ is holomorphic but also that it has neither zeros nor poles on $\mathbb P^1\setminus 0$. – Georges Elencwajg Jul 20 '11 at 8:59
Dear Georges, yes I forgot to say that it and its inverse are holomorphic at $\infty$. – Torsten Ekedahl Jul 20 '11 at 14:15

Here is the way you get a non-vanishing holomorphic section which will trivialize your line bundle.
Denote $U_1=\{[x:y]; x\neq 0 \}$ and $U_2=\{[x:y]; y\neq 0\}$, this is a covering of $\mathbb P^1$. The transition function of the bundle is $g_{12}([x:y])=e^{y/x}$ (you could also take $e^{x/y}$, this wouldn't change the argument), defined on $U_1 \cap U_2$.
Then you may defined the following holomorphic functions: on $U_1$, you put $s_1([x:y]):=e^{y/x}$ and on $U_2$, $s_2([x:y]):=1$. Thus $s_1$ and $s_2$ are non-vanishing holomorphic functions, and on $U_1 \cap U_2$, you have $s_1=g_{12}s_2$ so that they form a section of our line bundle.
EDIT: In particular the degree of the line bundle is 0!
Moreover, on a Riemann surface (or more generally on any smooth projective complex variety), any line bundle admits a meromorphic section, so that the correspondence your are talking about still holds.
share|improve this answer
As several people have pointed out, your example has degree $0$. Another way to see this is to observe that given a section, the number of zeros minus poles in both hemispheres is a difference of two winding numbers. This would work out to $(1/2\pi i)\int_\gamma d\log g_{12}$, where $\gamma$ is the equator and $g_{12}$ is the transition function (as in Henri's answer). In fancier terms, this is the first Chern number. In your example, this works out to $0$ (again). For $\mathbb{P}^1$, the degree is the sole invariant.

Lucky Birds
birds, lyrebirds, city, cities, forests, blackbirds, song, dance, cloaca, evolution
By Molly Michelson
Just like humans, some birds have better luck than others. From city life to dance moves to penises, the natural endowments of birds vary in so many ways! Several recent science publications demonstrate diversity in the bird world, so we thought we'd provide a sampling for you…
A study last week in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B determines that city birds keep much longer hours than their forest-dwelling brethren. Researchers studied European blackbirds (Turdus merula) in different environments in Germany and discovered that the artificial lights and noises of the city mean the blackbirds start their activities earlier in the day and keep on going later in the evening.
In fact, studies in the lab revealed that the city birds' biological clocks were sped up compared to the forest birds'. And the authors are convinced that birds aren't the only animals affected by city life. From the abstract:
Urban environments can significantly modify biologically important rhythms in wild organisms.
City dwellers, take note!
Australia's superb lyrebird males possess some of the most brilliant plumage in the avian world, and researchers have now determined that the feathered creature is also a brilliant song-and-dance bird. Scientists found that the birds have a distinct dance for each of four distinct songs. Wired posted a short video of a male lyrebird strutting its stuff that you have to hear and see to believe!
This mating ritual demonstrates that "the coordination of independently produced repertoires of acoustic and movement signals is not a uniquely human trait," according to a recent publication in Current Biology.
Maybe the male lyrebirds song-and-dance routine makes up for the fact that these males have no penises. 97% of birds simply lack the organ, using an opening called the cloaca instead. Originally, all birds had penises, but along the evolutionary path, most birds lost them. There are theories for why the organ was no longer needed (lighter for flight, more female control over mates), but the reason is still not known.
However, a new study, also in Current Biology, uncovers the mechanism behind the loss. Researchers compared embryos of the well-endowed Pekin duck (it has a corkscrew penis that can grow the entire length of its body) to those of the cloaca-ed rooster and found that both embryos begin to form penises, but around day eight or nine, the roosters' stop growing. The scientists determined that one gene, Bmp4, caused the rooster embryo's penis to stop growing.
Carl Zimmer, writing in the New York Times, explains why this research not only paints a bigger picture of bird evolution, but also illustrates how understanding these genetic mechanisms can help humans, too.

Posted in Marketing and Strategy Terms, Total Reads: 740
The origin of this word dates back to the 15th century, where it was used to refer to a written statement calling attention to something. Then the meaning of 'public-notice' was ascribed to this word using French word 'advertir', which gave it its present meaning.
According to the dictionary, advertisement means a paid announcement of goods for sale, in the newspaper or magazines or radio or television. But being an integral part of marketing, the word advertisement has a broader meaning. It can be used to refer to public communication about causes, goods and services, ideas, organizations and people.
Advertisements are not just about selling something but they are used to persuade people to change their behavior.
General structure of an advertisement can be described using AIDA Theory, which includes:
- Attention: using a jingle, logo or slogan to catch people's attention
- Interest: appealing to emotions, weaknesses and problems to generate interest among people
- Desire: stimulating people's desire to convert wants into needs
- Action: calling people to action
An advertisement may include any of the following media channels:
- Newspaper Ads
- Social Media
- Text messages
The advertising industry is made up of:
- Companies that advertise (usually hires an agency and provides then info on brand)
- Agencies that create ads(converts ideas to visuals, texts, layouts and themes)
- Media channels that carries ads
- Customer/Receivers of the ads
Advertisements are always present even though people may not be aware of the same.

During the spring semester the K-State Department of Entomology takes time to recognize and remember Benjamin Franklin Mudge. Benjamin Franklin Mudge (right) was one of the first faculty to teach at what was then the Kansas State Agricultural College, later Kansas State University, starting in 1865. He taught the first entomology course at Kansas State ("Insects Injurious to Vegetation"), and it was also the first economic entomology course taught anywhere in the United States. He also taught courses in astronomy, physics, meteorology, botany, zoology, physiology, mineralogy, geology, physical geography, agricultural chemistry, among others. He was beloved by students, so it is entirely appropriate that we have a week of student-centered activities named in his honor. To learn more about this remarkable man, read this memorial written two years after his death in 1879.

I don't have much experience with amateur satellites and I went to the AMSAT website to track a few passes. Two of the terms are "Maximum Elevation" and "Max El Azimuth"
I go to look up the terms, and I find this link _URL_
For Max El Azimuth, they say
Max El Azimuth - this is the maximum height the satellite should reach on this pass, as viewed from your location - a height of 90 degrees would be straight overhead.
But I see values higher than 90 on the AMSAT pass tracker online and am confused. And the Maximum elevation says values less than 90 degrees.
Just to be sure, what exactly is the difference between Maximum Elevation and Maximum El Azimuth?

A free rider is someone who "rides for free" in economics: he benefits for something without paying for it. An example is the sailor who benefits from a lighthouse built by someone else.
A lighthouse and national defense are examples of public goods. The market would not provide those goods as it would be unable to charge a price to all users/consumers. It would be both unprofitable and impractical to attempt to do so. They suffer from what is known as the free rider problem.
The free-rider problem is often cited in economics as justification for taxes in order to compel most people to share the costs for public goods such as national defense or public education.
In fact, conservative economists have increasingly challenged whether the free rider problem really exists. Studies on the historical building of lighthouses reveal misconceptions about the economics of that issue, and the public expense of public schools have far outweighed their benefits.

This paper examines the difference between infinite and finite domains of a Stefan Problem. It is pointed out that attributes of solutions to the Diffusion Equation suggest assumptions of an infinite domain are invalid during initial times for finite domain Stefan Problems. The paper provides a solution for initial and early times from an analytical approach using a perturbation. This solution can then easily be applied to numerical models for later times. The differences of the two domains are examined and discussed.

LISBON, Mar 22 (IPS) - The huge impact of the economic crisis on male employment in Portugal has led to a sharp increase in the proportion of women who have become the main breadwinners in their families. But that has not translated into progress towards equality.
"Today there is more male unemployment than female, because the crisis has especially affected the civil construction industry," said Anália Torres, a professor at the Technical University of Lisbon's Higher Institute of Social and Political Sciences.
"With less economic activity in that industry, which traditionally employs men, the male unemployment rate has climbed, while in sectors that generally employ women, unemployment grew much less," Torres said in an interview with IPS.
The European Commission expects unemployment in Portugal to reach 17.3 percent in 2013. But opposition parties and trade unions project a rate of 24 percent.

The gap between the figures is explained by the thousands of people who have stopped registering at the government employment centres or have moved abroad, mainly to other European countries or to the former Portuguese colonies of Brazil, Angola, Mozambique or Macau.
Among those who only have a primary school education, "the woman always earns less than the man," Torres said. "And as the educational level increases, the difference between the incomes of men and women grows. A woman with a doctorate earns much less than a man (with the same degree)."
In areas like education and health, where women earn 20 percent less than men, it is men who are most often laid off "because they are more expensive."
Another factor that puts women in the position of bringing home the bacon "is that many remunerated activities carried out by women are in the informal economy, undeclared or unskilled work, such as cleaning or babysitting in the homes of the well-off," the academic said.
In Portugal, the _PHONE_ colonial war in the country's overseas territories in Africa – Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique – "led to large numbers of women replacing men (in the workplace)," Torres said.
Since then, "the idea of the working woman who helps support her family has remained in place," she added.
During the war, Portugal maintained a permanent force of 220,000 military troops – an enormous figure compared to a population at the time of 8.8 million (10.6 million today).
In the 1960s, one million people from Portugal moved abroad for economic reasons or to avoid being sent to war in Africa. Women, Torres said, "took on a central role in a country with very few men of working age."
Nevertheless, "the predominant sexism persisted, and men continue to make a show of unacceptable machismo today," she said.
"By refusing to help do things around the home on the argument that 'I am a man, I don't do that kind of work', which also causes serious domestic violence problems, men show that the sexist culture is still in place."
Women are sometimes the target of violence, often with tragic results, because many men "base their masculinity on their wage-earning power, even though both men and women have been working and supporting the family for a long time now in Portugal," Torres added.
Between January and November 2012, 30 women were killed in Portugal by their partners or ex-partners, according to UMAR, one of the largest women's organisations in the country.
That makes Portugal the country with the largest number of femicides – gender-related murders – in the European Union, in proportion to the population.
But "working is also a kind of insurance against machismo, in the sense of women being aware that they are making a living and don't need men," Torres said.
Sociologist and researcher Sofia Aboim of the University of Lisbon's Institute of Social Sciences said that in the last eight years, the proportion of couples in which the woman is the main breadwinner has risen from two to 16.5 percent.
It is "obvious" that many men "have suffered a strong blow to their self-esteem, because their masculinity is traditionally associated closely with supporting the family," she wrote in the newspaper Público about the conclusions of a study on the subject.
Aboim said this situation was seen especially in couples with low levels of education and in older couples, especially between the ages of 51 and 65.
But Torres said discrimination against women is also deeply rooted among more educated segments of the population, even though "there are many women with excellent educations - teachers and professors, for instance."
In general, "the highest-level posts are filled by men, even though, for example in the academic world, studies show that there is no difference in the production of research or articles. But women are not heads of institutes and are not on the boards of universities, with very few exceptions," she said.
One big exception is the Centre for Judicial Studies, which provides training for future judges and prosecutors. Because the centre accepts lawyers on the basis of competitive examinations, "80 percent of those who have been accepted for training as magistrates in the last decade were women, because they scored higher than men."
The problems plaguing Portugal affect everyone, "but in the crisis, women face greater difficulties, aggravated in cases in which their husbands are unemployed, because they still have to take everything on their shoulders.
"The worst thing about this government (of conservative Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho) is its complete insensitivity and indifference towards the plight of the people," Torres said.
This is especially serious in Portugal and other countries where sexism is predominant, she said, because "if a woman has work and her partner does not, she continues to do the housework, unlike what occurs in other places, where men participate in the housework when they are unemployed."

Abbe Nicolas Louis de Lacaille (1713 - 1762) was a French astronomer who had the honor of naming 15 of the 88 constellations. He studied the stars of the southern hemisphere from his observatory at the Cape of Good Hope in Africa from 1750 - 1754.
Lacaille is often considered to be the first person ever to systematically observe the whole sky, an honor also ascribed to John Herschel, although Lacaille used a much smaller 1/2" telescope.
16 years before Charles Messier started to work on his catalog, Lacaille had already observed 10,000 celestial objects, as well as catalogued 42 nebulous objects. There are several remarkable objects and original discoveries in Lacaille's list, most notable is M83, the first galaxy beyond the Local Group to be discovered.
The constellations he named all got "scientific" names, with the exception of Mensa:

Boosting artificial nicotinamide cofactor systems†
Developing inexpensive nicotinamide cofactor biomimetics to replace the expensive NAD(P)/H cofactors is an ongoing research activity. Here we present mutational studies on a thermostable glucose dehydrogenase from Saccharolobus solfataricus (SsGDH) using a novel set of synthetic cofactors. Furthermore, we show the successful oxidation of a variety of different sugars in the context of cofactor regeneration. This combined approach resulted in an 160-fold improved system compared to the native enzyme with the standard biomimetic BNA+. These findings pave the way towards competitive industrial utilization of artificial cofactor regeneration systems.

NC farmers who had losses due to Tropical Storm Fred get help
The North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has opened the application period for the Agricultural Crop Loss Program for farmers that suffered losses due to Tropical Storm Fred.
The program will cover losses of crops, feed, livestock, aquaculture and farm infrastructure for farmers in Avery, Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison, Mitchell, McDowell, Rutherford, Transylvania, Watauga and Yancey counties. The agricultural commodities must have been planted but not harvested, or for aquaculture commodities raised on or before, Aug. 17, 2021.

Dogs use their claws for a variety of purposes. They provide traction and stability on hardwood floors and other slick surfaces. They also help when doing activities like playing frisbee, digging holes, and grasping objects.
Keeping your dog's nails trimmed and feeding them a balanced and nutritious diet can help prevent problems from developing. However, injuries, diseases, and infections related to them are still possible.
This article will tackle what nail bed disorders in dogs are.
What Is a Nail Bed Disorder in Dogs?
The nail bed is the soft, pink area under the hard nail. A nail bed disorder is any condition that affects the nail bed. It can affect the dog's ability to walk, run, play, and carry out other regular activities.
Other names sometimes used to describe a nail bed disorder are: nail fold disorders, nail fold pyoderma, and onychitis.
What Are Its Causes?
Several factors can cause nail bed disorders. One common reason is an infection. These infections can occur if the nail bed is injured, which can sometimes happen with dogs kept outside. It may also happen if the dog has a foot injury or an abscess.
Dogs that are overweight can develop nail fold disorders too. That is because extra weight can make it challenging to keep the pet's nails trimmed.
Some dogs are also born with this disorder. Treatment depends on the cause of the problem and the severity of the disorder. Treatments may include topical, oral, or surgical procedures.
Other common causes of nail bed disorders include poor nutritional intake. That may occur if the dog is an adult and not fed regularly. It may also happen if the dog has a medical condition such as anorexia or is not getting enough Vitamin A, C, or E. These nutrients are necessary for skin, hair, and nail health.
Symptoms of Nail Disorder in Dogs
The symptoms of a nail bed disorder in dogs can vary. They may range from mild to severe and may be apparent or hidden. These are some symptoms to look for:
- Trouble walking
- Trouble standing
- Having difficulty getting up and down
- Trouble with climbing stairs
- Having difficulty scratching an itch
- Having difficulty running or playing
- Trouble with handling objects such as balls or toys
- Visible discomfort when grooming
Some nail bed disorders can cause pain. The dog may yelp, whimper, or cry when the area is touched. This type of behavior will help you to recognize and diagnose the problem. Your dog will also have difficulty licking and grooming the area. You would observe that they may be reluctant to put weight on the paw.
Diagnosing a Nail Bed Disorder in Dogs
The veterinarian will examine the dog and listen to the heart and lungs, and check the dog's temperature. A nail bed disorder may cause the dog's body temperature to rise.
The veterinarian will then examine the dogs nails and paws. Doing so will help the veterinarian check for infection, injuries, and other abnormalities.
The veterinarian may take a skin sample for testing and a sample of any discharge from the nail bed. They may also use a machine called an otoscope. This device is placed against the dog's nail bed, uses light to examine the nail bed, and helps diagnose nail bed disorders.
The professional may also take X-rays and perform other diagnostic tests such as blood tests, cultures, or biopsies.
Nail bed disorders happen very often. They are treatable and can usually be prevented. The best way to avoid a nail bed disorder is to keep the dog's nails trimmed and feed the dog a nutritious and balanced diet. Contact your vet right away if you notice that your dog has trouble walking, standing, or performing other activities. Early treatment is essential, and it can prevent the dog's condition from getting worse.

The classic 1959 film Ben Hur has been an iconic part of it American cinema for decades, and its themes of faith, friendship and redemption have been praised by many. However, the film has been the subject of much debate and speculation lately, with some doubts as to whether the main character, Judah Ben-Hur, is gay. While there is no definitive answer to this question, it is important to consider the evidence that both supports and disproves the idea that Ben-Hur is gay. This article examines the evidence surrounding this debate and examines whether or not Ben-Hur can be considered a gay character.
He turned down the role of Judah Ben-Hur because he had already appeared in a biblical-era film, The Silver Chalice (1955), and hated the experience. In addition, it taught him that he could not wear a tunic because his legs were inadequate.

Where is Charlton Heston?
Charlton Heston was an iconic actor who passed away in 2008. He is best known for his roles in classic movies such as Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments. He was an active political figure who served as president of the National Rifle Association from 1998 to 2003. In recent years, his legacy has been kept alive by his family, friends and fans. His final resting place is Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California, where he is buried with his wife Lydia. He is fondly remembered by those who knew him and those who admired his work.
Writing a screenplay for a movie or TV show can be an exciting and fulfilling experience. It requires a lot of creativity and hard work, but the rewards can be great. It's important to start with a well-thought-out concept and a solid outline before diving into the writing process. Once the ideas are in place, the writer needs to come up with interesting characters and storylines that will captivate the audience. Each scene should have a purpose and the dialogue should be natural and engaging. Crafting a compelling story is essential for the screenplay to be successful. With dedication and perseverance, a great screenplay can be made to leave the public wanting more.
Classic religious epic: Ben-hur and the iconic chariot racing scene
Ben-Hur is an American religious epic directed by William Wyler in 1959 and starring Charlton Heston, which is based on Lew Wallace's 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. Ben Hur has a strong religious overtones, as evidenced by the title, which is a remake of the 1925 silent film of the same title. The chariot racing scene from Chariot is considered one of the most amazing scenes in movie history. Preparing for this iconic scene took nearly a year of planning. Charlton Heston, a wealthy horseman, had to learn how to drive a chariot to succeed in the game. Messala, played by Stephen Boyd, also took the same classes as him. The chariot racing scene in Ben-Hur is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the cast and crew. This scene in Ben-Hur is one of the most memorable in the film.
Gay characters are an important part of the entertainment industry. The portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters in popular media has improved over the years, allowing audiences to find characters that reflect their own experiences and identities. Gay characters appear in TV shows, movies, books, and more, providing much-needed representation for people of all ages. These characters can help educate and educate the public about the LGBTQ+ experience and create a more accepting, diverse culture. By introducing various characterswe can help break down barriers and create a more inclusive society.
Disney pioneers LGBTQ+ representation with Strange World
In Disney's Strange World, which will be released on November 23, 2022, they have introduced the very first gay main character. The media is breaking new ground in its portrayal of LGBTQI people, with the character of Ethan Clade voiced by gay comedian Jaboukie Young-White. This isn't the first time LGBTQ+ characters have appeared in a movie or TV show. Brock Peters appears as one of the first openly gay characters in a American movie in The Pawnbroker, a movie released in 1964. In the 2000s, cartoons like Sailor Moon, South Park, King of the Hill, Cardcaptor, and Futurama all featured LGBTQ+ characters. Sara Ramrez, who spent 11 seasons and 239 episodes as Dr. Callie Torres, who starred on Grey's Anatomy, was one of the most enduring LGBTQ characters in American television history. The introduction of Ethan Clade into Disney's filmography marks an important milestone in LGBTQ representation and inclusion, and it will undoubtedly pave the way for more LGBTQ characters to appear in media in the future.

Propagation of Hermite-Gaussian beams in apertured fractional Fourier transforming systems
Abstract:The apertured fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) system is introduced and applied to treat the propagation of Hermite-Gaussian beams. Based on the treatment that a rectangular function can be expanded into a approximate sum of complex Gaussian functions with finite numbers, the analytical expressions for the output field distribution of a Hermite-Gaussian beam through an apertured FRFT system are obtained and compared with those obtained from numerically integral calculation. The results show that our method can significantly improve the numerical calculation efficiency.

Garage door repair bowling greenGarage door repair bowling green
Are garage door sensors supposed to be green?
Garage door sensors work using an infrared beam of light. Each sensor will usually have a light. One will have a green light, used to show that the units are powered up, and the other will have a red light to show that there's no obstruction between the sensors and that they're 'seeing' each other.
How much should a garage door repair cost?
Should I repair or replace my garage door?
Your door may have chipped or fading paint, or a large crack may have appeared. If the damage to your door us purely cosmetic, you'll usually get more value out of repairing the door rather than replacing it. If your garage door has structural damage, you'll likely want to look into having the door replaced.
How do you fix a misaligned garage door?
Fixing a Misaligned Garage Door To fix a binding door, begin by loosening the screws that secure the track to the garage door frame. Then, use a rubber mallet to reposition the track to its proper placement. Use a level to ensure the track is straight, then refasten the screws.
Why is my garage door sensor blinking green?
Blinking green sensors generally mean that the door has detected a fault or a safety issue, so it's a way of letting a homeowner know there's a problem. Otherwise, the light is generally on steady green, instead. Often when there's a blinking green light, the door also won't operate with the remote.

How do you know if your garage door sensors are bad?
Light indicators: An easy way to tell if your garage door sensors are out of alignment is by checking if the exterior LED light blinks when you attempt to close the door. Green lights mean the sensors are working, while red lights indicate the sensors are not aligned.
Does homeowners insurance cover garage door repairs?
Why does my garage door go back up after it closes?
Your Travel Down Setting Needs to be Adjusted Your garage door is programmed to travel a certain distance before it closes. If it closes before that distance has been traveled, it thinks something is wrong — and it reopens to help prevent any damage or safety risk.
What is included in a garage door tune up?
The Sears Garage Door Tune Up includes: A diagnostic inspection focusing on the door sections, track, counterbalance system, hinges, rollers, and weather seals. Inspect and tighten all bolts and screws. Rebalance door when necessary. Examine and adjust garage door travel and safety settings where needed.
How many years does a garage door last?
Estimates on longevity are based around usage, but most experts believe the average garage door should last between 15 – 30 years, depending on construction quality, maintenance and local climate conditions. Automatic garage door openers normally provide 10 – 15 years of reliable service.

Can you install a new garage door on old tracks?
Can I replace my garage door myself?
While most full-service garage door retailers offer complete garage door installation services — including delivering the new garage door, disassembling and disposing of the old door, and installation of the new garage door — if you're an adept and skilled handyman and want to save a bit of extra money, you can install
How much does it cost to balance a garage door?
Repair almost always means replacement, but you might only need to balance the door and lubricate the springs, which only costs $50 to $100. Materials alone (springs, brackets and hardware) run $30 to $200 for a set of two springs with labor running $75 to $150.

Defining quality health care
The now accepted definition of quality focuses on you. The Maine Quality Forum and The Maine Quality Forum Advisory Council have adopted and are committed to the following definition of high quality health care promoted by the Institute of Medicine:
Safe – avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them.·
Effective – providing services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit and refraining from providing services to those not likely to benefit (avoiding under use and overuse, respectively).·
Patient-centered – providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.·
Timely – reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and those who give care.·
Efficient – avoiding waste, including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy.·
Equitable – providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and socioeconomic status."
Types of quality
To achieve a clearer understanding of quality health care, it is helpful to understand characteristics of quality within the categories of service quality and clinical quality.
Service quality is the term to describe the characteristics of care such as waiting times, ease of physical access, pleasant staff and clean comfortable surroundings. Service quality also includes such things as cleanliness of your hospital room and respectfulness of the person who draws your blood.
Clinical quality is the term used to describe such things as prescribing the correct medications, performing surgery as safely and appropriately as possible and involving the patient fully in their own care. It includes attributes such as the accuracy of a laboratory test, operating on the correct leg and providing enough information so that you understand your health risks or medical condition.

Mark Martin on the Big Three
Salinity, pH and Temperature in the Reef Aqaurium
In a reef tank, the big three—salinity, temperature and pH—are far more important than in a fish-only system, but every aquarist should shoot for stability in these three parameters. Every single tank crash in the history of aquaria has been a direct or indirect result of a lack of stability in one or all of the big three. It is funny when you think about—there are just three parameters you really need to watch, and yet so many people simply don't. I mean, sure, it is important to look at nitrates and calcium in a reef tank, but if you ignore the big three long enough, it does not matter if you have 500ppm calcium or 0ppm nitrates. The tank will eventually crash. So what can you do today to get the big three taken care of? Read on.
Use a Chiller, Heater and Controller to Maintain Temperature Stability in a Reef Tank
Temperature stability is essential to a reef tank. Fluctuations in temperature of only a few degrees every 24 hours creates environmental stress for your animals. The stress, while perhaps not deadly in and of itself, will, over time, make your animals more susceptible to disease and infestation. Instead of dumping money into expensive nitrate reactors or calcium reactors, most beginning reef aquarists would derive far more benefit by buying a chiller. Using a quality chiller in conjunction with a heater and a reliable controller will insure minimal temperature fluctuation in your aquarium.
Keeping Salinity Stable in a Tropical Marine Aquarium
In a reef or invertebrate tank, many of the animals are particularly sensitive to changes in salinity. Falling behind on topping-off your aquarium with freshwater can cause the salinity to increase gradually. While this usually does not present a huge problem, when you suddenly "catch-up" with tank maintenance, and replace five, ten or more gallons of freshwater all at once, the salinity drops back down to normal levels but much too quickly for many inverts. Investing in an automatic top-off system can make all the difference in terms of keeping your tank's salinity stable.
Dealing with pH Fluctuations
A normal daily cycle of pH fluctuation occurs in most aquaria secondary to the lighting schedule. While this is not a disaster, in most cases, the savvy aquarist can easily stabilize this parameter by simply installing a refugium that runs on an alternate light cycle. Keeping the refugium lights on when the display tank's lights are off will insure a more stable pH over an entire 24-hour period.
Install a Chiller, Automatic Top-Off and a Refugium Today!
New reef aquarists, like all aquarists, should focus first and foremost on the big three: temperature, salinity and pH. Investing in a chiller, an automatic top-off system and a refugium can go a long way to creating a stable reef environment that will quickly mature into a full-blown reef aquarium.

Versioning
Any time you have client-server communication, there is a very real risk of the client & server code becoming out of sync and causing an error. For example, let's say you have a mutation function whose input is a single object. You decide to change the mutation input to be a single array. You make the change and deploy it. Your server code is now updated, but all your users still have the old client code running in the browser. So it's likely you now have client code sending an object to your mutation which is going to error because it's expecting an array.
Now one solution is to only make changes that are backwards compatible, but sometimes you can't do this.
The other solution is to track the version of your client code and your server code. If there is a version mismatch, you can display a friendly message to the user, telling them they need to reload the webpage to continue.

First Forgive the Silence
Thirteen hour durational performance, Boya Quarry. 2015
An act of tender gratitude, release and homage, Jacobus's series of works stand as a heartfelt farewell.
A letter, two images and a censored book (held dearly by the artist for the last decade) all document a durational performance undertaken at a site that once bred a reverence for the uneasy relationship upheld by the self and the perpetual abyss it finds itself surrounded in.
Reflecting upon his own experience as a teenager with the site (Boya Quarry), and the role it played in shaping a humble reverence for his own interaction with the landscape, Jacobus blends and reconciles it with the long standing impact a certain author had in extending and transforming this relationship.
Engaged in the durational act of censoring a complete novel in one sitting, each sentence is ultimately silenced. By refusing each individual word, first the word in its isolation must be acknowledged. The constant action and concentration the performance demands ultimately stunts the flow of reading and interpretation, and thus subsequently closes off the immediate surroundings form exerting influence.
A new space is entered into where words and their meaning no longer exist: instead all that is left is the spaces inbetween, the vital silences.

- 1 What is dieffenbachia
- 2 Properties of dieffenbachia
What is dieffenbachia
Characterístics of dieffenbachia (Dieffenbachia ssp.)
Scientific noun: Dieffenbachia ssp.
Common noun: Dieffenbachia
Family: Arum family – Araceae
Habitat: Tropical plant that can be found as a cultivated indoor plant.
- Calcium oxalate
Active parts: The juice of the plant, especially in its stems and in the petioles of the leaves.
What is dieffenbachia like?
It is a perennial tropical plant up to 2,5 m.
Erect stems, thick and fleshy with big leaves ending in pointed apex; largely petiolated, marbled with white or yellow.
Flowers in spadix surrounded by a sheath-like leaf; small, white-greenish..
It rarely flourishes when it is cultivated, only sometimes at the beginning of spring when the plant is well grown-up.
Properties of dieffenbachia
Uses of dieffenbachia
- As a toxin to poison the arrows:: The juice of the plant has been used by the native Amazonian people to be part of the preparations with which they poisoned the arrows.
- As a gardening plant : The dieffenbachia is an ornamental plant that is used fundamentally like an indoor plant. (See gardening details)
- As a medicinal plant: Some research is being done to test this plant as an anti-cancer medicine. It is thought that dieffenbachia derivatives can prevent the development of cancer cells.
- As a magical plant: Brasilian people use to include dieffenbachia among those herbs that are considered adequate to expell bad influences
Toxicity of dieffenbachia
Toxicity is medium. The toxicity of this plant is due to its content in calcium oxalates. (Theories exist on the presence of other components, as proteolytic enzymes that propitiate the histamine production)
Its sap is irritating because of the presence of oxalates that appears in form of crystals that damages the skin tissues by contact, when injecting this component.
Calcium oxalate has, also, emetic, irritating and inflammatory properties and it is, together with calcium, one of the main reasons for the production of kidney stones. Calcium and magnesium oxalates are two of the main components of poisonous plants.
Equally the ingestion of this plant produces irritation and inflammation of gastric mucous and it can damage the kidneys, the arteries, or the stomach of those who eat it.
|Being such a habitual plant in our homes, it is advised to be wise in its manipulation. It is convenient to use gloves when one has to cut a leaf and we should care to take it away from the reach of the small children to avoid any possible accident.|
Side effects of dieffenbachia
Poisoning with this plant shows the following symptoms:
- Applied externally: Dermatitis in the skin, with reddening, itchiness or burning pain. More serious symptoms can appear such as bladders or ulcers. In contact with the eyes, it produces irritation and transitory lost of vision.
- When its juice is ingested: It can produce vomits or diarrhea and even big inflammations of the digestive tract, especially in the mouth, the throat and the lips.
Among the most habitual symptoms we found: Swallowing difficulty, salivation, lost of sensibility with tingling sensation in the tongue, itchiness or ulcerations in the lips.
Consequences of eating dieffenbachia
A big ingestion of the plant, something which is not very habitual, can end up producing breathing difficulty. The quick action of the toxins of this plant usually propitiates its spitting what prevents the patient to continue chewing it.
The accidents are usually more common in children who chew the leaves, which produces a quick irritation with inflammation of the mucous membranes and a great salivation.
Although there have been describe some severe cases, it usually gives rise to very painful local inflammations that don't usually affect to the circulatory system or respiratory tract.
How to treat dieffenbachia poisoning?
Dieffenbachia poisoning requires the following medical treatment:
- Mouth rinsing with plenty of water to eliminate the small pieces of the plant that could still remain in the mouth.
- Demulcents to alleviate the irritation and soothe the membranes.
- Immediate medical care with antihistamines and analgesics has to be applied.
Is dieffenbachia toxic to animals?
It is a plant whose ingestion is toxic for domestic animals. There have been registered many cases of intoxication with mortal result in dogs, cats, rabbits and canaries that ate it.
Symptoms in animals are similar to those produced on people.
Species of dieffenchabias
There are about 30 different species approximately. Among all, we would mention the following ones:

that they consider as very important. Here, we review the literature on the impact of importance on prospective memory performance. We highlight different methods used to manipulate the importance of a prospective memory task such as providing rewards, importance relative to other ongoing activities, absolute importance, and providing social motives. Moreover, we address the relationship between importance and other factors known to affect prospective memory and ongoing task performance such as type of prospective memory task (time-, event- or activity-based, cognitive loads, and cue focality. Finally, we provide a connection to motivation, we summarize the effects of task importance and we identify important venues for future research.
 8. How important is importance for prospective memory? A review
 Walter, Stefan; Meier, Beat
 2014-01-01
 Forgetting to carry out an intention as planned can have serious consequences in everyday life. People sometimes even forget intentions that they consider as very important. Here, we review the literature on the impact of importance on prospective memory performance. We highlight different methods used to manipulate the importance of a prospective memory task such as providing rewards, importance relative to other ongoing activities, absolute importance, and providing social motives. Moreover, we address the relationship between importance and other factors known to affect prospective memory and ongoing task performance such as type of prospective memory task (time-, event-, or activity-based), cognitive loads, and processing overlaps. Finally, we provide a connection to motivation, we summarize the effects of task importance and we identify important venues for future research. PMID:25018743
 9. Importance measures and resource allocation
 Guey, C.N.; Morgan, T.; Hughes, E.A.
 1987-01-01
 This paper discusses various importance measures and their practical relevance to allocating resources. The characteristics of importance measures are illustrated through simple examples. Important factors associated with effectively allocating resources to improve plant system performance or to prevent system degradation are discussed. It is concluded that importance measures are only indicative of and not equal to the risk significance of a component, system, or event. A decision framework is suggested to provide a comprehensive basis for resource allocation

 18. Adaptive Importance Sampling with a Rapidly Varying Importance Function
 Booth, Thomas E.
 2000-01-01
 It is known well that zero-variance Monte Carlo solutions are possible if an exact importance function is available to bias the random walks. Monte Carlo can be used to estimate the importance function. This estimated importance function then can be used to bias a subsequent Monte Carlo calculation that estimates an even better importance function; this iterative process is called adaptive importance sampling.To obtain the importance function, one can expand the importance function in a basis such as the Legendre polynomials and make Monte Carlo estimates of the expansion coefficients. For simple problems, Legendre expansions of order 10 to 15 are able to represent the importance function well enough to reduce the error geometrically by ten orders of magnitude or more. The more complicated problems are addressed in which the importance function cannot be represented well by Legendre expansions of order 10 to 15. In particular, a problem with a cross-section notch and a problem with a discontinu

* 1/4 cup of water
* 1/4 cup of white craft glue (like Elmer's glue)
* 1/4 cup of liquid starch (used for clothes)
* Food coloring (optional)
* Mixing bowl
* Mixing spoon
- Pour all of the the glue into the mixing bowl.
- Pour all of the water to the mixing bowl with the glue.
- Stir the glue and water together.
- Add your food color now - about 6 drops should do it.
- Now add the liquid starch and stir it in.
- It should be nice and blobby by now. As you play with your slimy concoction, it will become more stretchy and easier to hold.
- Explore your slimy creation and store it in a zip bag when you are not using it.
The glue is a liquid polymer. This means that the tiny molecules in the glue are in strands like a chain. When you add the liquid starch, the strands of the polymer glue hold together, giving it its slimy feel. The starch acts as a cross-linker that links all the polymer strands together.
The project above is a DEMONSTRATION. To make it a true experiment, you can try to answer these questions:
1. Does changing the amount of water or glue change the feel of the slime?
2. Do different glues make better slime?
3. How does changing the amount of each ingredient change how the slime turns out?
4. What happens to slime if it is stored out of a bag compared to in a bag?

The grass snake preys on frogs, tadpoles and fish. It also hunts in the water. The grass snake lays its eggs in rotting clusters of kelp, which produce heat as they decompose.


If both parents names are on your birth certificate and they are not married, can you carry both their surnames putting your father's first and mother's surname last on your ID card?
If you are applying for your first National ID card and your parents were unmarried at the time of your birth you can have both their surnames placed on your card as your surname, provided that you can show proof that either;
(1) you have used the name throughout your school life by way of a letter from the school or examination certificate (s) or
(2) show other form of ID such as a Passport.
However if you already are in possession of a valid National ID card under either parents surname but you wish to now carry both surnames on your ID, a Protocol of Deed or Deed Poll is required.

Sheetala Ashtami, Sheetla Ashtami, Shitala Ashtami
The Ashtami or the eight day of the waning phase of the moon in the month of Phalguna or Falguna. It is nothing but Falguna or Phalguna Bahula Ashtami or Phalguna Krishna Paksha Ashtami.
Sheetala is a hindi word which means Small Pox and Goddess Sheetala is belived to be the goddess of small pox. Goddess Sheetala is accompanied by Jvarasura and other epidemics. In some place Goddess Sheetala is worshipped as Ola Devi.
On Sheetala Ashtami devotees worship Goddess Sheetala. By worshiping Goddess Sheetala, devotees would pray to her to protect them from diseases and other epidemics.
Devotees do not light the stoves in the house on Sheetala Ashtami. The common procedure is to cook the food the before day and eat the same food on Sheetala Ashtami.
Sheetala Ashtami is commonly celebrated in North India.
The temples of Sheetala Mata is situated at Dhanoop near Bhilwara which is in Rajasthan, Mumbai, Gurgoan, Jalandhar.

How can an object control its own reproduction?
The information surrounding the production of a typical product tends to be quite guarded: plans and techniques are protected by patent and "owned" as the intellectual property of a single company or manufacturer.
Cloning Objects presents an alternative scenario in which a collection of products are each embedded with all of the information needed for their own reproduction. Scanning the object with a software interface allows a user to "inspect" the components of an object, revealing the digital 3D-definition, files for reproduction with digital fabrication tools, information and schematics for electronic components, and the source-code for any software used to control the object.
Distributing this information within the objects allows them to be reproduced and distributed without a structured, formal network. The autonomous objects and their components are made accessible on an individual level, and can be freely shared, modified, and redistributed.
Cloning objects is made in collaboration with Leonaro Amico, Tilen Sepič, and Thibault Brevet. It is an extension of the Hacking Households project originally presented at BIO 50. The project was made possible with support from Timelab and the Creative Industries Fund NL.

text: In the urban environment, stormwater detention basins are a powerful means to limit the frequency of sewer system failures and consecutive urban flooding. To design such waterworks or to check their efficiency, it is possible to carry out continuous rainfall-runoff modelling. A long-term discharge series obtained from a long-term rainfall series is used as input for a storage model describing the detention basin behaviour: the basin behaviour may be consequently studied over a long period. The provided statistical information on the working state frequency, failure frequency, … of the detention basin is of high interest for the basin diagnostic or for its design. This paper presents the whole methodology which leads to production of such statistical information and especially: the models used to generate long term rainfall series with a short time step, the rainfall-runoff model used to transform the later series into a long term discharge series, and the model used to describe the behaviour of the detention basin. This methodology was applied to evaluate the efficiency of 4 detention basins built for stormwater control and flood mitigation. They are situated on a Swiss urban catchment (Chamberonne catchment – 40 km2) collecting water from the Mèbre and Sorge rivers.


tables" in SQL++ are just lists of…anything. They don't have to be lists of objects with attributes.
A slightly more advanced query:
SELECT DISTINCT animal, names
 FROM Animals A, split(A.favorite_animals, ',') animal
 LET names = (SELECT VALUE A1.name
 FROM Animals A1,
 split(A1.favorite_animals, ',') A2
 WHERE A2 = animal);
Animal Names
Dog [ Mark ]
Cat [ Mark ]
Deer [ Ajay ]
Eagle [ Ajay ]
Parakeet [ Ajay, Mark ]
I've also introduced the LET syntax: It's like WITH but for correlated subqueries.
10.4 Nesting
Say we have:
{{
 { "name": "Mark", "age": 19 },
 { "name": "Shana", "age": 38 },
 { "name": "Dan", "age": 19 },
 { "name": "Zander", "age": 17 },
 { "name": "Kari", "age": 17 },
}}
And we want to group by age:
{{
 { "age": 17,
 "people": [{ "name": "Zander" }, { "name": "Kari" }]},
 { "age": 19,
 "people": [{ "name": "Mark" }, { "name": "Dan" }]},
 { "age": 38,
 "people": [{ "name": "Shana" }]}
}}
We can do this:
SELECT P.age,
 (SELECT P1.name
 FROM People AS P1
 WHERE P1.age = P.age) AS people
 FROM People AS P;
Correlated subqueries are the name of the game!
Small issue: it yields this!
{ "age": 38, "people": [ { "name": "Shana" } ] }
{ "age": 17, "people": [ { "name": "Zander" }, { "name": "Karianna" } ] }
{ "age": 19, "people": [ { "name": "Dan" }, { "name": "Mark" } ] }
{ "age": 19, "people": [ { "name": "Dan" }, { "name": "Mark" } ] }
{ "age": 17, "people": [ { "name": "Zander" }, { "name": "Karianna" } ] }
Adding DISTINCT right after SELECT fixes it.
What if we want this instead?
{{
 { "age": 17, "people": [ "Zander", "Kari" ]},
 { "age": 19, "people": [ "Mark", "Dan" ]},
 { "age": 38, "people": [ "Shana" ]}
}}
We can use the VALUE keyword to not print out column names. It only works when selecting a single column.
SELECT DISTINCT P.age,
 (SELECT VALUE P1.name
 FROM People AS P1
 WHERE P1.age = P.age) AS people
 FROM People AS P;

11.1 Monotonicity
A monotonic query preserves containment/subset relations between tables in its results. More explicitly, the tuples returned by the query will be a subset of the tuples returned by the query when the input relation is a superset of the original relation. It's a homomorphism: The Q (perform query) operation preserves subset relations.

"Apprehend" means to take into custody or grasp mentally. While "apprehend" sometimes means "understand," it is best to use "comprehend" because it's easier for most people to understand. For the purposes of this exercise, always use "comprehend" for "understand." The noun form, "apprehension," means a foreboding or dread of something. Example: Please apprehend the criminal.
"Comprehend" means to grasp mentally or understand fully. Example: Do you comprehend this material? The adjective "comprehensive" means all-inclusive or having a wide range. Example: Final exams are usually comprehensive because they include questions on all the material covered in a semester.

This article explains the steps how to mail the claims to the secondary insurance with the primary EOB. There are two different scenarios for this type of claim:
- When the secondary insurance is not contracted with Emdeon (clearinghouse) and you are using a PRNT payer ID.
- You are using an electronic payer but the specific payer does not accept secondary claims electronically.
drchrono makes it easy for you to identify this types of claims by throwing an error message when you select the "Billing Status" as "Bill Secondary Insurance".
"Error message: Appointment updated, but billing will not be processed: Paper claim for secondary insurance can not be transmitted electronically. You have to manually send the claims along with primary EOB"
When you get the above error message while billing the secondary claims, you would need to follow the steps outlined below to print the claim and the primary EOB:
1. Hover over the "Billing" and choose "Live Claims Feed".
2. Search for the patient and click on the visit date which will take you to the billing details screen
3. To print the claim form, click on "HCFA/1500" if you have the color printer or click on "HCFA/1500(text)" if you have the original red form towards the top right.
4. To print the primary EOB, scroll down towards the line item and click on the magnifying glass next to the check number. This will access the Remittance Reports screen. Click on "Print ERA" on the right corresponding to the patient's visit date and print the screen. If you have the EOB uploaded in the system, click on "View EOB".
The "Print ERA" or "View EOB" is accessible from another screen by following the steps outlined below:
1. Billing > Remittance Reports
2. Search for the check# and click on the check# link
3. Click on "View EOB" or "Print ERA".

Anti-bullying Policy
St Ives Bowling Club
Anti-bullying Policy
Within bowls there is a commitment to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all bowlers so they can take part in a relaxed and secure atmosphere regardless of their age or background.
Quite simply, bullying of any kind is unacceptable in bowls.
If bullying does occur, all members should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively. This means that anyone who knows that bullying is happening is expected to tell the Club Welfare / Safeguarding Officer as soon as they have concerns.
What is Bullying?
Bullying is the use of aggression with the intention of hurting another person.
Bullying results in pain and distress to the victim.
Bullying can be:
Emotional - being unfriendly, excluding, tormenting (e.g. threatening gestures)
Racist - racial taunts, graffiti, gestures
Sexual - unwanted physical contact or sexually abusive comments
Homophobic - because of, or focussing on the issue of sexuality
Sexist – belittling someone because of their gender
Verbal - name-calling, sarcasm, spreading rumours, teasing
Cyber - Any issues relating to the internet, such as email, social media & internet chat room misuse.
Mobile threats by text messaging & calls Misuse of associated technology, i.e. camera &video facilities
Why is it Important to Respond to Bullying?
The sport has a responsibility to respond promptly and effectively to issues of bullying.
Objectives of this Policy
All members, coaches, volunteers and parents should understand what bullying is
All members, coaches and volunteers should know what the policy is on bullying, and follow it when bullying is reported
All players and parents should know what the policy is on bullying, and what they should do if bullying arises
As a sport, we take bullying seriously. Anyone involved in bowls should be assured that they will be supported when bullying is reported
Very simply - Bullying will not be tolerated.
1. Report bullying incidents to the Club Welfare / Safeguarding Officer, member of the club committee or an adult you can trust or the County Welfare Officer. 2. In cases of serious bullying, the incidents will be referred to the relevant NGB Safeguarding Officer. 3. In serious cases parents, should be informed and asked to come in to a meeting to discuss the problem. 4. If necessary and appropriate, police will be consulted. 5. The bullying behaviour, or threats of bullying, must be investigated and the bullying stopped quickly. 6. An attempt will be made to help the bully/bullies change their behaviour. 7. If mediation fails and the bullying continues further disciplinary action will be taken.
Recommended Club Action
If the club decides it is appropriate for them to deal with the situation they should follow the procedure outlined below:
1. Reconciliation by getting the parties together. It may be that a genuine apology solves the problem
2. If this fails or is not appropriate, a small panel of club officers should meet with the parent and child making the allegation to obtain more information. This panel will normally include the Welfare Officer. Minutes should be taken for clarity, which should be agreed by all as a true account
3. The same panel should meet with the alleged bully and parent/s, detail the allegation and allow them an opportunity of reply. Minutes should again be taken and agreed
4. If it is considered that bullying has taken place, the individual should be warned and put on notice of further action if the bullying continues, i.e. temporary or permanent suspension.
Consideration should be given as to whether a reconciliation meeting between parties is appropriate at this time.
The club committee should monitor the situation for a given period to ensure the bullying is not repeated.
All appropriate coaches, volunteers or team managers involved with both individuals should be made aware of the concerns and outcome of the process i.e. the warning
1. The bully/bullies may be asked to apologise
2. In serious cases, suspension or exclusion will be considered
3. If possible, the people concerned will be reconciled
4. Monitoring should be put in place to ensure repeated bullying does not take place.
1. The club will have a written constitution, which includes what is acceptable and proper behaviour for all members of which the anti-bullying policy is one part
2. All club members and parents of young bowlers should sign a code of conduct on an annual basis. The code of conduct should include reference to bullying
3. The Club Welfare Officer will raise awareness about bullying and why it matters
