The Neocartographer Game
In Neocartographer, two players or teams of players compete, each trying to outperform the opponent in a mapping contest where a player gains an advantage by being the first to contribute a piece of information about a geographic location. The game belongs to the genre of configuration games, where players occupy spatial regions until they reach a winning configuration. In contrast to most of these games, Neocartographer challenges its players by requiring them to reason about spatial distances.
The game has been designed as a playful introduction to geospatial analysis, more specifically, to the concept of Voronoi neighborhood. However, there is also a game variant in which the players do not need to familiarize themselves with that concept. Neocartographer balances reasoning and action in an intricate way and is generally played as a pedestrian game. It takes a few minutes to get acquainted with the rules and the smartphone interface. With the game itself lasting about half an hour, Neocartographer is an ideal choice for applications where temporal constraints are tight such as a tech demo in the context of a scientific conference.

text: Initial position and magnet polarity estimation is required for smooth start-up of permanent magnet synchronous machines. The signal-to-noise ratio of the salient signals used for initial position and magnet polarity estimation depends on the machine design and affects the overall performance of the estimation technique. This paper investigates the design of a ring-magnet, surface permanent magnet synchronous machine to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of the position and polarity signals without compromising the machine performance. Since the rotor geometry is fixed given the ring-magnet, the effect of the stator tooth tip geometry on the saliency signals is evaluated using finite element analysis. By adding a bridge between the stator teeth, the magnitude of the polarity-based signal can be increased significantly. A coupled simulation verifies the implementation of the improved initial position and magnet polarity estimation based on modified machine design.

Tutorial: Get started with Log Analytics queries
This tutorial shows you how to use Log Analytics to write, execute, and manage Azure Monitor log queries in the Azure portal. You can use Log Analytics queries to search for terms, identify trends, analyze patterns, and provide many other insights from your data.
In this tutorial, you learn how to use Log Analytics to:
 - Understand the log data schema
 - Write and run simple queries, and modify the time range for queries
 - Filter, sort, and group query results
 - View, modify, and share visuals of query results
 - Save, load, export, and copy queries and results
For more information about log queries, see Overview of log queries in Azure Monitor.
For a detailed tutorial on writing log queries, see Get started with log queries in Azure Monitor.
Open Log Analytics
To use Log Analytics, you need to be signed in to an Azure account. If you don't have an Azure account, create one for free.
To complete most of the steps in this tutorial, you can use this demo environment, which includes plenty of sample data. With the demo environment, you won't be able to save queries or pin results to a dashboard.
You can also use your own environment, if you're using Azure Monitor to collect log data on at least one Azure resource. To open a Log Analytics workspace, in your Azure Monitor left navigation, select Logs.
Understand the schema
A schema is a collection of tables grouped under logical categories. The Demo schema has several categories from monitoring solutions. For example, the LogManagement category contains Windows and Syslog events, performance data, and agent heartbeats.
The schema tables appear on the Tables tab of the Log Analytics workspace. The tables contain columns, each with a data type shown by the icon next to the column name. For example, the Event table contains text columns like Computer and numerical columns like EventCategory.
Screenshot shows the Azure portal Logs page with a new query, highlighting the Tables pane with Computer and EventCategory highlighted.
Write and run basic queries
Log Analytics opens with a new blank query in the Query editor.
Log Analytics
Write a query
Azure Monitor log queries use a version of the Kusto query language. Queries can begin with either a table name or a search command.
The following query retrieves all records from the Event table:
Event
The pipe (|) character separates commands, so the output of the first command is the input of the next command. You can add any number of commands to a single query. The following query retrieves the records from the Event table, and then searches them for the term error in any property:
Event
| search "error"
A single line break makes queries easier to read. More than one line break splits the query into separate queries.
Another way to write the same query is:
search in (Event) "error"
In the second example, the search command searches only records in the Events table for the term error.
By default, Log Analytics limits queries to a time range of the past 24 hours. To set a different time range, you can add an explicit TimeGenerated filter to the query, or use the Time range control.
Use the Time range control
To use the Time range control, select it in the top bar, and then select a value from the dropdown list, or select Custom to create a custom time range.
Time picker
 - Time range values are in UTC, which could be different than your local time zone.
 - If the query explicitly sets a filter for TimeGenerated, the time picker control shows Set in query, and is disabled to prevent a conflict.
Run a query
To run a query, place your cursor somewhere inside the query, and select Run in the top bar or press Shift+Enter. The query runs until it finds a blank line.
Filter results
Log Analytics limits results to a maximum of 10,000 records. A general query like Event returns too many results to be useful. You can filter query results either through restricting the table elements in the query, or by explicitly adding a filter to the results. Filtering through the table elements returns a new result set, while an explicit filter applies to the existing result set.
Filter by restricting table elements
To filter Event query results to Error events by restricting table elements in the query:
 1. In the query results, select the dropdown arrow next to any record that has Error in the EventLevelName column.
 2. In the expanded details, hover over and select the ... next to EventLevelName, and then select Include "Error".
 Add filter to query
 3. Notice that the query in the Query editor has now changed to:
 Event
 | where EventLevelName == "Error"

 4. Select Run to run the new query.
Filter by explicitly filtering results
To filter the Event query results to Error events by filtering the query results:
 1. In the query results, select the Filter icon next to the column heading EventLevelName.
 2. In the first field of the pop-up window, select Is equal to, and in the next field, enter error.
 3. Select Filter.
 Screenshot shows a table of results with a contextual menu for filtering results by EventLevelName.
Sort, group, and select columns
To sort query results by a specific column, such as TimeGenerated [UTC], select the column heading. Select the heading again to toggle between ascending and descending order.
Sort column
Another way to organize results is by groups. To group results by a specific column, drag the column header to the bar above the results table labeled Drag a column header and drop it here to group by that column. To create subgroups, drag other columns to the upper bar. You can rearrange the hierarchy and sorting of the groups and subgroups in the bar.
Screenshot shows query results with subgroups for EventLevelName and Computer.
To hide or show columns in the results, select Columns above the table, and then select or deselect the columns you want from the dropdown list.
Select columns
View and modify charts
You can also see query results in visual formats. Enter the following query as an example:
Event
| where EventLevelName == "Error"
| where TimeGenerated > ago(1d)
| summarize count() by Source
By default, results appear in a table. Select Chart above the table to see the results in a graphic view.
Bar chart
The results appear in a stacked bar chart. Select other options like Stacked Column or Pie to show other views of the results.
Pie chart
You can change properties of the view, such as x and y axes, or grouping and splitting preferences, manually from the control bar.
You can also set the preferred view in the query itself, using the render operator.
Pin results to a dashboard
To pin a results table or chart from Log Analytics to a shared Azure dashboard, select Pin to dashboard on the top bar.
Pin to dashboard
In the Pin to another dashboard pane, select or create a shared dashboard to pin to, and select Apply. The table or chart appears on the selected Azure dashboard.
Chart pinned to dashboard
A table or chart that you pin to a shared dashboard has the following simplifications:
 - Data is limited to the past 14 days.
 - A table shows only up to four columns and the top seven rows.
 - Charts with many discrete categories automatically group less populated categories into a single others bin.
Save, load, or export queries
Once you create a query, you can save or share the query or results with others.
Save queries
To save a query:
 1. Select Save on the top bar.
 2. In the Save dialog, give the query a Name, using the characters a–z, A–Z, 0-9, space, hyphen, underscore, period, parenthesis, or pipe.
 3. Select whether to save the query as a Query or a Function. Functions are queries that other queries can reference.
 To save a query as a function, provide a Function Alias, which is a short name for other queries to use to call this query.
 4. If you are in a Log Analytics workspace, provide a Category for Query explorer to use for the query. (Categories aren't available for Applications Insights queries)
 5. Select Save.
 Save function
Load queries
To load a saved query, select Query explorer at upper right. The Query explorer pane opens, listing all queries by category. Expand the categories or enter a query name in the search bar, then select a query to load it into the Query editor. You can mark a query as a Favorite by selecting the star next to the query name.
Query explorer
Export and share queries
To export a query, select Export on the top bar, and then select Export to CSV - all columns, Export to CSV - displayed columns, or Export to Power BI (M query) from the dropdown list.
The following video shows you how to integrate Log Analytics with Excel.
To share a link to a query, select Copy link on the top bar, and then select Copy link to query, Copy query text, or Copy query results to copy to the clipboard. You can send the query link to others who have access to the same workspace.

Color lock is a process for reconstructing the color signal of primarily PAL-encoded U-matic tapes (Low and High Band) on playback. If the signal frequency is off, "the colour subcarrier will shift phase for the duration of one line, which means that colours will be reproduced incorrectly."1 The result is quite noticeable:
A colour gradient stretches from the left-hand edge to the right-hand edge of the image, with a narrow achromatic area down its vertical center axis. More precisely, all scan lines start at the left-hand edge of the image with a colour shift specific to each hue. Colour saturation drops to zero towards the centre of the image, then rises to reach maximum saturation in the complementary colour hue at the right-hand edge of the image.2
Black-and-white recordings and NTSC recordings are not susceptible to loss of color lock. However, if an NTSC recording "is played back on a multi-standard player with a colour lock control set in the wrong position, colour disappears completely and a characteristic diagonal herringbone pattern occurs."3
Can it be fixed?
Adjust the color lock control on a PAL playback device until the color is rendered correctly. If these adjustments do not resolve the artifact, try the same adjustments while playing a test tape in the same device. If the test tape's colors can be rendered correctly, then the tape recording has uncorrectable defects; however, if the issue persists while playing the test tape, then the device needs servicing.

floor exerciseArticle Free Pass
floor exercise, gymnastics event in which movements are performed on the floor in an area 12 metres (40 feet) square. This area is covered by some type of cloth or mat, usually with some cushioning. No other apparatus is used. Men's routines are 50 to 70 seconds in duration. The type of exercise required is a series of movements combining elements of flexibility, strength, jumps, holding of poses, and balance, as well as other maneuvers. The whole routine must be performed with rhythm and harmony, and the gymnast must move in different directions, using a major portion of the allotted area.
The exercise usually starts and finishes with a series of tumbling movements, such as a handspring or a cartwheel with a half-turn (roundoff), continuing with handsprings and somersaults (in the air), either backward or forward. Between start and finish, balances are held on one leg, handstands are achieved by placing the hands on the floor and kicking to a standing position, and movements resembling ballet, tumbling movements, and jumps are interposed.
The women's event is similar to the men's, except that it is performed to music and lasts 70 to 90 seconds. The floor exercise was introduced as an individual Olympic medal sport for men in 1936 and for women in 1952.

[en] Highlights: • A spring is introduced into the TENG for harvesting water wave energy. • The spring can translate the low frequency motion into a high frequency motion. • By using the spring, the energy conversion efficiency can be enhanced by 150.3%. Ocean waves are one of the most promising renewable energy sources for large-scope applications. Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been demonstrated to effectively harvest water wave energy possibly toward large-scale blue energy. In this work, a kind of spring-assisted TENG was designed and investigated for harvesting water wave energy. The idea of introducing spring is to store the potential energy built during mechanical triggering for multiple cycles of conversion into electricity afterward, and transform a low frequency motion into a high frequency oscillation for improving the energy harvesting efficiency. The output performance of the basic unit was optimized by adjusting the motor acceleration and spring parameters including the rigidity and length. There exists an optimized spring rigidity or spring length to produce the highest performance. By using the spring, the accumulated charge of the TENG can be increased by 113.0%, and the translated electric energy or efficiency can be improved by 150.3%. Then four optimized basic units were connected in parallel and packaged into a sealed box to harvest the water wave energy. The present work could provide an approach to improving the output performance and efficiency of TENGs in harvesting low-frequency water wave energy.


Definitions: One says that a map $\pi\colon\mathcal X\to X$ from an algebraic stack to an algebraic space is a good moduli space if $\pi$ is cohomologically affine and universal for maps to schemes. (A good (but not equivalent) way to think about a stack whose good moduli space is a single point is that for any two points, the closure of their orbits intersect.)
One says that a stack $\mathcal X$ is a quotient stack if it is the quotient of an algebraic space by a subgroup of GL_n (see for instance EHKV, which also gives a criterion for a stack to be a quotient stack in terms of vector bundles).
One says that a stack has the resolution property if every coherent sheaf is a quotient of some vector bundle; Totaro's paper The resolution property for schemes and stacks relates the property of being a quotient stack to the resolution property.
Question: Let $\mathcal X$ be a stack with a good moduli space $\mathcal X \to X$ such that X is a geometric point (i.e., X = Spec k, where k is a separably closed field). Suppose further that the stabilizers are affine linearly reductive groups. Is $\mathcal X$ a quotient stack?
(See this answer for the definition of stabilizer of a point of a stack that isn't a quotient stack.)
 1. The condition on stabilizers excludes things like BE with E an elliptic curve.
 2. The condition that k is separably closed excludes non-trivial gerbes.
 3. I'd be just as happy with an answer to "Does the resolution property hold for $\mathcal X$?".

 $\begingroup$ This is an interesting question. Here is a specific instance: let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $\mathcal X_n$ be the stack over $\mathbb C$ of nodal proper curves of genus 0 with at most $n$ nodes. One shows that it satisfies the conditions above. It is a quotient stack for $n \leq 1$, but I don't know the answer for any $n \geq 2$. $\endgroup$ – Angelo Feb 28 '11 at 7:03

 $\begingroup$ The stack $\mathcal{X}_n$ is not a global quotient stack for $n\geq 2$ (Kresch: Flattening stratification and the stack of partial stabilisations of prestable curves). But, as noted by David Zureick-Brown in arxiv:_PHONE_, $\mathcal{X}_n\to \mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{C})$ is not a good moduli space so this does not answer the question. $\endgroup$ – David Rydh Feb 5 '13 at 19:10
This is answered in general by Theorem 13.1 in our paper The étale local structure of algebraic stacks (arXiv:1912.06162). Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a stack with a good moduli space $X$ such that
 1. $\mathcal{X}$ has affine stabilizers,
 2. $\mathcal{X}$ has separated diagonal, and
 3. $\mathcal{X}$ is of finite presentation over an algebraic space.
Then $\mathcal{X}$ has the resolution property étale-locally (and even Nisnevich-locally) on $X$. In particular, if $X$ is the spectrum of a field or a henselian local ring, then $\mathcal{X}$ has the resolution property.
Conditions 1 and 2 are necessary. Note that having the resolution property locally on $X$ implies that $\mathcal{X}$ has affine diagonal.
In general $\mathcal{X}$ does not have the resolution property Zariski-locally on $X$. There is an example in SGA 3, Exp X, §1.6 (cf. Remark 2.5 in our paper), of a 2-dimensional torus $G$ over the nodal cubic curve $C$ such that $G$ is not locally isotrivial. This means that $G$ cannot be embedded in $\mathrm{GL}_N$ for any $N$, not even Zariski-locally on $C$. It follows that $\mathcal{X}=BG$ does not have the resolution property Zariski-locally on its good moduli space $X=C$.

Nitrogen split applications
The efficiency of nitrogen (N) fertilizer use can be improved by monitoring leaf color at 7- to 10-day intervals with the leaf color chart (LCC) and only applying N fertilizer as needed by the crop (see LCC fact sheet).
An alternative approach to N fertilizer timing and management is presented here for cases when it is not feasible for farmers to visit their fields on 7- to 10-day intervals.
What is the N splitting pattern approach
The splitting pattern approach provides a recommendation for the total N fertilizer requirement (kg/ha) and a plan for the splitting and timing of applications in accordance with crop growth stage, cropping season, variety used, and crop establishment method. LCC can be used to adjust individual topdressings. Estimate the required total amount of fertilizer N and develop a splitting pattern. Use the LCC at critical growth stages to adjust predetermined fertilizer N rates.
How to estimate the total fertilizer N requirement
Establish minus fertilizer (–F) plots in farmers' fields (see Fact Sheet Nutrient Omission Plots). Compare yield from the –F plot, which represents the N-limited yield, to a target yield for the site, based on knowledge of attainable yield with the anticipated crop and fertilizer management. The difference between the target yield and N-limited yield represents the anticipated response of rice to N fertilizer.
Determine the total fertilizer N requirement based on a need of 40 to 50 kg N/ha per ton of anticipated response to N. As a general principle 40 kg N per ton N response is appropriate in high yielding seasons, and 50 kg N per ton response is appropriate in lower yielding seasons. A high N requirement of 60 kg N per ton response is observed at sub-optimal N management or when target yield is near potential yield providing a low N response (< 2 t/ha).
How to use the LCC in the splitting pattern approach
Use the critical LCC values given in the Fact Sheet Leaf Color Chart to adjust the amount of split N rates based on crop demand and plant N status. For example, if 30±10 kg N per ha is recommended for a certain growth stage,
- apply 40 kg N/ha, if the leaf color is below the critical value
- apply the standard rate of 30 kg N/ha if the leaf color is equal to the critical value
- postpone the fertilizer application and apply a lower rate of 20 kg N/ha if the leaf color is above the critical LCC value.
How to develop a splitting pattern
Use the tables on the right to look up splitting patterns for fertilizer N for the recommendation domain. Further adaptation to local conditions with farmers' participation may be required.

In this paper, voltage sags produced by balanced and unbalanced short circuits are analyzed by means of stochastic assessment methods, i.e., analytical and fault position method. These methods have been tested and compared through simulations on 5-bus standard test system. All the simulations were carried out using a code developed in MATLAB. Simulation results show that these methods give reliable and accurate information related to voltage sag magnitude. However, the analytical approach is straight forward and different fault distributions along the lines can be effortlessly considered. The main feature of this approach is that contrary to the fault positions method, it does not require a pre-assignation of discrete fault positions along the lines. It has been seen that a high number of fault positions is required to obtain reasonable accuracy in case of fault position method.

Defend or Rescue are map objectives used throughout the Fire Emblem series
Overview[edit | edit source]
Defend and Rescue are similar in nature as both require the player to complete a map by preventing an enemy unit from reaching a certain tile.
In Defend maps, players must prevent the enemy from reaching a specific tile on the map, usually one that is positioned behind the player's starting position or at a far side Village. If an enemy unit ends their turn on that tile or next to the village, a Game Over immediately triggers. To clear the map, players must either Survive a certain number of turns before the enemy is force to retreat or must rout all enemies that appear.
Rescue requires that the player kill specific units on a map before they reach a certain tile which is usually a distance away from both the enemy and allies. Maps that feature this objective usually revolve around an character being kidnapped. If the objective is solely Rescue, only the highlighted unit must be defeated. Occasionally, this is paired with Rout the Enemy as well.


ARM Technical Support Knowledge Articles
How is the ARM7TDMI core tested?
Applies to: ARM7TDMI
For the ARM7TDMI, there are essentially 3 different approaches to testing:
 1. Conventional parallel test:
 ARM supplies 10 sets of parallel test vectors, 27k vectors for ARM7TDMI, to test the functionality of the entire core. This test method requires access to all of the I/O signals of the cores, which sometimes might not be possible or feasible for an ARM core embedded in an ASIC.
 2. Using serialised test vectors:
 ARM provides'serialised' test vectors for the ARM7TDMI core to test it through the JTAG port. For ARM7TDMI, this increases the number of vectors to over 900k. The advantage here is that only the 5 JTAG signals need to be accessible to the tester.
 The TAP controller in the ARM processor core is a standard IEEE1149.1 compliant implementation. However, the scan cells used in the ARM7 core are not fully compliant, because they do not have an 'update' stage.
 3. Using AMBA:
 This technique uses ARM's standard on chip bus specifications, AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture). If the users ASIC design implements AMBA, a 32 bit bus architecture, then it is possible to apply the AMBA test methodology to the core. The parallel test vectors have been partitioned into 32 bit words which can be applied to the core through the 32 bit test interface of the ASIC if the AMBA test methodology has been adopted.
 The production test patterns for the ARM7TDMI have been converted into AMBA "TIC" (Test Interface Control) patterns which present about 100k test vectors, with generally only 3 extra pins required.
 For ASIC designs using AMBA, this is the recommend approach.
Comparison of production vectors
Here is a vector count comparison between AMBA (TIC), Parallel, and Serialised (access through JTAG) production test vectors:
TestTICParallelSerialised (JTAG)
Tdebug *18025352765716
Tice *651501300355183
* The Debug and ICE test have a high proportion of pre-serialised sections.

The Cinema for Peace Foundation in Berlin, Germany honored Greek documentary "Recycling Medea: Not an Opera Ballet Film" by Asteris Kutulas with the Most Valuable Documentary for 2014 award. The documentary impressed the international jury, who described it as "unconventional" and "highly artistic."
The ceremony was attended by several world-famous artists and actors such as Catherine Deneuve, Uma Thurman, Ennio Morricone, Ornella Muti, Sir Christopher Lee and the band Pussy Riot.
Asteris Kutulas' film, which was screened three weeks ago in the historical cinema Babylon in Berlin, will also be presented on February 23 in Cologne and on March 19 in Luxembourg.
"Recycling Medea" is a balletic narration of the famous Euripides' play where a mother murders her two children, choreographed by Renato Zanella, with music by Mikis Theodorakis. The director used the antique Greek tragedy as a metaphor for Greece's and Europe's current tragedy — Medea kills her own children, while modern society has ruined the life and future of the younger generation.
Commenting on his film, Kutulas has said,"Despite being recycled through myriads of versions since antiquity, this subject has lost none of its everyday and brutal topicality."
He also stated that he wanted to bring out the desperation of a woman as well as today's youth who are fighting against their own society.

The Tin Can Cooker is a homemade outdoor stove that really works. Generations of Scouts have learned to make and use "Buddy Burners" for camping and emergencies. Instead of wood or liquid fuel, the Tin Can Cooker burns a small can of wax and cardboard. A larger can fits over it and holds your cooking pot. Each wax can should burn an hour or more. Make several so you always have one on hand.
1. Curl up strips of cardboard and fit them loosely inside each of your small cans. Leave enough space for wax. Or you can cut short strips and arrange them to form a star that divides the can into pie-shaped slices. The cardboard will act as a wick to get the wax burning across the top of the can. Set the prepared cans on a protected surface, such as a cookie sheet covered in newspaper or aluminum foil. Place it close to where you'll be melting the wax.
2. Break up wax or candles to fit into the top pan of the double boiler. Fill the bottom pan about halfway with water. Fit the top pan into it so it sits above the water. If you don't have a double boiler, set a medium-sized saucepan so it sits over a larger saucepan of boiling water. Turn the stove on medium to heat the water to a steady boil. Let the wax melt until it is completely liquid.
3. Carefully pour the melted wax into the prepared cans. Leave the top edge of the cardboard sticking up above the level of the wax. If your wax starts to harden as you're pouring it, just reheat it to melt it again. Let cool until hardened.
4. Take the large can and remove the entire top with a can opener.
5. Hold the large can with the open end pointing away from you. Take the church key can opener and make 3 or 4 openings at the closed end, around one side, about 1″ apart.
6. Turn the large can so the opening is toward you. You have two options for letting air in at the bottom to feed the flames:
If you don't have tin snips: Use the church key can opener to punch holes all around the open end of the can, about 3″ apart. Take a pair of pliers and fold up the sharp points of metal created by each hole and squeeze them flat.
If you do have tin snips: Create a flap that acts like a fireplace damper to control the airflow. The more oxygen, the higher the flames. Put on heavy work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal edges. Use the tin snips to cut 2 slits into the side, about 3″ inches long and 3″ apart. Then grab the edge of the can between the slits and bend it outward to make the flap.
7. To use your stove, place the wax can on a flat, nonflammable surface, like a stone paver. Light the cardboard strips, like lighting the wick of a candle. You want the flame to cover the entire top of the can.
When the wax can is lit, adjust the flap on the large can and place it over the smaller can so the holes on the top are facing away from you. (This keeps smoke from blowing in your face.) Now you can cook on top!
Safety Tips for Tin Can Cookery
Tin Can Cookers use an open flame. They can be dangerous, so be sure to follow these safety rules!
- Adult supervision is needed to make and use a Tin Can Cooker.
- Wear heavy gloves when handling cut-metal edges.
- Always keep an eye on melting wax and on the lit cooker. Do not leave them unattended.
- Do not melt wax in the microwave or directly on the stove. Always use a double boiler (or make one from two saucepans).
- Always use hot pads or oven mitts to handle hot pots. Use metal tongs to adjust the cooking can or the wax burner.
- Make sure to use your Tin Can Cooker on a level, fireproof surface, such as a flat paving stone. Watch out for hot liquid wax in the burner — avoid spilling it.
- Do not pour water on burning wax. Use a brick or a metal lid to cover the wax can and smother the flames.
- Tin can cookers can blacken cooking utensils with soot from the burning wax, so don't use them with your best pots and pans.
- Pick up a camping skillet and spatula or small, sturdy garage sale pots and pans and save them just for outdoor cooking.
- Use nonflammable oven mitts and a pair of pliers if you need to adjust the flap while the stove is in use.
- The entire tin can stove gets hot, so never touch it with bare hands while it is lit!
Your Tin Can Cooker is perfect for traditional outdoor fare like grilled cheese and egg-in-a-hole. Find those recipes and more in my book Edible Inventions: Cooking Hacks and Yummy Recipes You Can Build, Mix, Bake, and Grow.


Why Don't Old Games Work On Windows 10?
We are guessing that old games will run much smoother on Windows 10! right?.. Wrong! even if you use Windows compatibility mode to run your old games, you will fail most of the time!! BUT WHY?
The real direct reasons are the architecture which those games are written for. And here are all the reasons why old games don't work on Windows 10 computers.
1. Old Games Are 32 bit
Windows 10 OS written for 64 bit CPUs to run faster and allow more than 4 GB of RAM. But every program or game need to be coded to run on either 32 bit system or 64 bit system. This means that Windows OS will emulate 32 bit system to run old 32 bit programs and games.
But this will not work for most games because some games try to use some incompatible code in form of DLL files. A windows update might break a dependency that the game relies on.
Some games won't run at all because some of their code was written for 16 bit systems which Windows 10 can't emulate at all.
2. Multi-threaded Technology
Modern CPUs are designed to split a given program workload to run on multiple cores. This type of design lead to a more performance. But it is horrible for the games which is written for the one core old CPUs.
Windows 10 runs all programs and game in multi-threads by default to gain some more speed and performance.
You can dual-boot Windows 64 bit with Windows 32 bit So you can run some old games on the 32 bit variant of Windows 10. Finally, I hope you like this blog post. If you want to get new posts, make sure to subscribe to Value In Brief by Email.


What does a negative balance on my credit card account mean?
When you make a purchase on your credit card, your balance owing goes up and shows up as a positive balance on your statement.
However, a negative balance on your statement means that you have an additional amount credited to your account. You don't owe anything, and the negative balance will be applied towards your next purchase.
You may see a negative balance on your statement if:
 - you made a return on a purchase and received credit back
 - you paid more than your balance owing on your statement

PingPlotter's web interface allows administrators to create custom user profiles to prevent users from editing PingPlotter targets and summaries.
Enabling multi-user management
To enable multi-user management, you must first create an admin login. In the PingPlotter program, under Edit → Options → Web Server, select Require Login and enter your preferred username and password.
To create a new user profile for PingPlotter's web interface, log into the web interface using your admin credentials. In the upper navbar, you will see the option to Manage Users.
On this screen, you can create a new user by selecting Create User. You will be asked to enter an email address (which will be used as the new username), a new password, and user permissions.
Defining user permissions
Each user permission enables specific management privileges for a section of the web interface:
- Trace Management — The user may:
- Add new targets to the All Targets summary and New Target windows
- Pause active traces
- Resume paused traces
- Reset and restart traces
- Stop and remove traces

Langdon Bay, Kent
Langdon Bay is a bay in east Kent, England. It is two miles east of the town of Dover, and is named after the nearby villages of Langdon, East Langdon and West Langdon. The cliffs around it are known as the Langdon Cliffs, there is a prominent zig-zag path that leads from the cliff top to the beach, this is visible from the sea.
The bay is known for the Langdon Bay Hoard - a collection of Bronze Age scrap metal found nearby in 1974. This includes bronze axes of a French type and is thought to represent the cargo of a boat that was caught in a storm just after leaving the English coast, either jettisoned to lighten and save the boat or sunk with it (if there was a wreck, it is now lost). This demonstrates that cross-channel trade was already occurring in the Bronze Age, if not earlier. It is owned by the British Museum but on long-term loan and display in Dover Museum in Market Square, Dover.
Three searchlight batteries - known as the Langdon Lights - were built into the base of the bay's cliffs during World War II, so that any ship trying to enter the bay could be illuminated while it was checked, though one has been destroyed by a cliff fall.
The area above the cliffs is now a chalk downland nature reserve owned by the National Trust, looking down on Dover Harbour and the Channel, and centred around the 'Gateway to the White Cliffs' Visitor Centre. Large parts of this reserve, and of this section of clif ftop in general, is an SSSI, AONB and Heritage Coast. Another nearby historic site is the South Foreland Lighthouse, also an NT property.

Decoding the Genome Canada Research Network : an institutional analysis
MetadataShow full item record
The rise of high-technological innovations in the midto late- 20th and early 21st centuries has required the establishment of equally innovative agencies and institutions to guide these technological innovations. This thesis examines the emergence and evolution of Genome Canada, which was created to oversee the proliferation and direction of genomic research within Canada. This thesis examines how genomic research developed in Canada throughout the late 1980s to early 2000s, why it became necessary to create Genome Canada, how the networked model chosen was seen as the preferred model, and how Genome Canada has evolved to date. This case study of Genome Canada is important because it reveals how public institutions that guide innovation emerge and how they evolve over time. As well, it is important because it reveals how the model used in the genome policy sector may be used again in the future as a framework for establishing other similar institutions.

FAQs: COVID19 vaccine for foreingers in Thailand
Right now, COVID19 vaccine is licensed and available in Thailand, unfortunately the supply of vaccines is very limited. Foreigners still cannot get the vaccine in Thailand and we did received many questions and requests for foreingers especially expatriates in Thailand on how and where to get the vaccine. So we will try to answer these questions in this blog post.
Let's start:
1. Which COVID19 vaccines are licensed and available in Thailand?
Our FDA licensed three COVID19 vaccines i.e. vaccine from AztraZeneca/Oxford, the Sinovac from China and from Johnsons and Johnsons. However, only two vaccines (AztraZenaca and Sinovac) are available right now.
2. These COVID19 vaccines belong to whom? Who imported the vaccines?
Royal Thai Government imports all vaccines and plans to distribute to all Thais. They have a clear plan to secure and distribute the vaccines, started from February 2021, right now (4 Apr) approximately 170,000 Thais received vaccines. A big lot of vaccine is coming, and by the end of this year, our government expects to receive 60 million doses of vaccine for our population.
3. What is the target population of this vaccine?
The priority groups are the healthcare personels, people in outbreak area and elderly and those with medical conditions. The next phase will distribute to general population.
4. Is it true that COVID19 vaccine is free for Thai citizen? and How about foreingers?
Yes, the government provides vaccine for Thai citizen free of charge. Unfortunately, non-Thais are still not the target group of vaccine, at least for now, where the availability of vaccine in Thailand is still very limited. So there is no tentative date/time on when foreigners can get the vaccine in Thailand.
5. What about private hospitals/clinics in Thailand? Can they buy vaccine and provide to foreingers in Thailand?
Theoretically, yes. Private hospitals can buy licensed COVID19 vaccine and distribute in private sector. Unforutnately, as you know, now all countries, all government want to buy vaccines in big lots (10+ millions doeses). The demand is huge. So as you can imagine, big pharmaceutically companys are much more willing to sell millions doses of vaccines to the goverment than 10K or 100K or even 200K doses to private sector. This is one reason why, even private hospitals are willing to pay, to get the vaccine is still not easy.
Apart from that, the rule, regulation and liability of new vaccine are another key factors. In fact, before new vaccine is licensed, it has to pass many processes and take long times (2-5 years) to ensure its safety and efficacy. But we have not much time in COVID19 pandemic. So FDA in many countries has to license and approve the use of new COVID19 vaccine urgently and with some conditions such as for public health authorities use only, or for emergency use only, etc. That means this COVID19 vaccine is not for general use right now, so this is another reasons why private hospitals in many countries are not allowed to buy and provide vaccines to their patients.
6. I'm an expat living in Thailand, so how I can get the COVID19 vaccine?
Unfortunately, right now there is no easy way to get the vaccine if you are non-Thais. Ones may prefer to wait and see, and that's ok. We believe that in the future, you can get this vaccine in Thailand. Unfortunately, no one can predict when. By the way, there is another way if you do not want to wait, you can choose to fly back to your home country to get the vaccine and fly back to Thailand. We do see many expats choose this way.
Likewise, we did see some Thais living abroad, choose to fly back to Thailand to get vaccine here, because they are not eligible to get the vaccine abroad. And that's understanable. All countries always give priority to their own citizen first.
7. Does Thai Travel Clinic plan to provide COVID19 vaccines for foreingers?
Absolutely, our goals is to provide best medical care to Thais and foreigners. And we believe that vaccine is the key to control the outbreak. So we try very hard to buy COVID19 vaccine for foreingers in our hospital. Unforutnately, at this point, the priority of vaccine is still for Thais. Anyway, once global supply of vaccine is not tight, we will buy it and will provide COVID19 vaccine to foreigners.

Cohesive energy versus lattice constant curve for monoatomic cubic lattices v003
Creators: Daniel S. Karls
Contributor: karls
Publication Year: 2019
DOI: _URL_
This Test Driver uses LAMMPS to compute the cohesive energy of a given monoatomic cubic lattice (fcc, bcc, sc, or diamond) at a variety of lattice spacings. The lattice spacings range from a_min (=a_min_frac*a_0) to a_max (=a_max_frac*a_0) where a_0, a_min_frac, and a_max_frac are read from stdin (a_0 is typically approximately equal to the equilibrium lattice constant). The precise scaling and number of lattice spacings sampled between a_min and a_0 (a_0 and a_max) is specified by two additional parameters passed from stdin: N_lower and samplespacing_lower (N_upper and samplespacing_upper). Please see README.txt for further details.

Write a New Service for Linux (opensuse)

Introduction: Write a New Service for Linux (opensuse)
This instructable shows you how to write and implement a new service in Linux (opensuse).
You will learn how to turn a shell script into a service.
What is that good for?
With a service you can do various things.
This is to keep track of how many hours I have been online, how many bytes I have downloaded and what my IP was at a special day.
Step 1: What Do I Want the PC Do?
I want to have the following information in a logfile:
- the time of boot.
- Information about the IP, transfered bytes and maybe other stuff before shutdown. Mainly the output of the cmd: "ifconfig"
- the time of shutdown
So I'm going to write a service that does:
- Writes a timestamp in a file at startup.
- Write me the output of "ifconfig" and a timestamp before shutdown.

Step 2: Make the Shell Script to Test Your Service
Before we really implement a new service we try the commands in a script first.
So open up an editor and insert the following lines:
#! /bin/sh
# This line is a comment
# the next line defines the logfile
LOGFILE=/home/user/networklogfile
# write "Start" and the current date and time to the logfile
echo "Start: " + 'date' >>$LOGFILE
# Write the output of ifconfig to the logfile
echo 'ifconfig' >>$LOGFILE
# write "Stop" and the current date and time to the logfile
echo "Stop: " + 'date' >>$LOGFILE
Save the file as test.sh for instance.
Then type
chmod +x test.sh
in the console at the directory where the new file is to make you script executable.
Explanation:
First we define a local variable LOGFILE with the name and the complete path to the logfile, with $LOGFILE we can use this variable in this shell script.
The "echo" command does what it says, it echos what is written behind it. Because I wanted a white space after Start: I had to use quotes around "Start: ". The single quotes around 'date' tell echo to invoke the command date instead of writing it straight into the file. And the two greater than signs tell echo to append the output to the file instead of writing it to the console.
That's it!
Now type ./test.sh to execute the script and see if the output in the file was written.
It should be something like:
Start: + Wed Feb 5 16:30:38 CET 2014
enp2s1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr ...
Stop: + Wed Feb 5 16:31:46 CET 2014
Step 3: Introduction to Service-scripts
Every linux distribution has it's own system of start-Scripts.
So the following is exact true for opensuse 13.1. But the principles are the similar with all Linux-distributions.
So let's start:
In opensuse every boot-script is located in the folder /etc/init.d/
So this is where we have to save our script. But the start-scripts are not simple bash-scripts. They have to have a certain format for the automatic boot-process.
The main principle is:
 - All scripts are located in the /etc/init.d/ folder.
 - In this folder are some more folders called rc.0d, rc.1d and up to rc.6d. In these folders are only symbolic links to those scripts that should be executed when the according runlevel is entered or left. For more information about runlevel aks google!
 - So every script has to provide at least to functions: Start and stop.
 - when changing a runlevel, the init-process calls all K-scripts of the old runlevel with the parameter stop and
 - when these are finished, the init-process calls all S-scripts of the new runlevel with the parameter start.
 - The symbolic links have numbers in their name after K or S, and this determines the sequence in which the scripts are called.
But these links are not done by hand, they are generated by a function called insserv. Or you configure the different runlevels with YAST.
Step 4: Write the Service-script
Now we are starting with the script itself.
In some distributions there are skeletons which you can use for this purpose. You just take them and fill in the stuff you need.
With opensuse there comes nothing like that, so we have to use an existing one and modify it.
Because we are working in /etc/init.d/ you have to be root to edit and save files here.
type: "su" and the root-password to become root.
Just make a new script called networklog and fill it with this content:
#! /bin/sh
# Copyright (c) 2014 andyk75
#
# Author: andyk75 (instructables)
#
# /etc/init.d/networklog
#
# and symbolic its link
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Required-Start:

echo -n "Starting Networklogging"
## Start daemon with startproc(8). If this fails
## the echo return value is set appropriate.
;;

echo 'ifconfig' >>$LOGFILE
echo -n "Shutting down Networklogging"
## Stop daemon with killproc(8) and if this fails
## set echo the echo return value.
;;

 ## Stop the service and regardless of whether it was

echo -n "Checking for Networkloggingservice "
## Check status with checkproc(8), if process is running
## checkproc will return with exit status 0.
;;
 *)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|}"
exit 1
;;

And don't forget to make it executable with 'chmod +x networklog'

 1. In the header-Part with "### BEGIN INIT INFO" until "### END INIT INFO" we specify in which runlevels this service should be started (3 + 5) and in which it should be stopped ( 0, 1, 2, 6). And we have a short description of the service. The Required-Start and stop fields are empty, because we do not rely on any other service to be started.
 2. Now again we have a variable called LOGFILE, as in the testscript before.
 3. But the case-instruction is new. When the script is called with a parameter, this parameter can be accessed inside the script with $1, and this is what happens here: According to the parameter the case-statement only executes the lines after the parameter. We have "start", "stop", "restart", "status" and the wildcard "*" which applies if the parameter is something else. You can see at the wildcard's echo, you get the name of the script ($0) itself with a small instruction of how to use it.
 4. Restart doesn't really do anything.
 5. When the init-process calls 'networklog start': the current date with a Start-label is written to the Logfile.
 6. When the init-process calls 'networklog stop': The output of ifconfig and the current date with a stop-label is written to the logfile.
And that's it.
Step 5: Install the Service With Insserv
Now that we have the script-file.
Open a console and go to /etc/init.d/
Now just execute 'insserv networklog' as root and see that there are so new links in the rc_.d-folders.
Because the system is already running and the service isn't started yet, we start it by hand by calling 'networklog start'.
Otherwise you might get an errormessage when shutting down, because there is no networklog-service to be stopped! :-)
That's it!
Now every time you start your system, the time is beeing recorded in the networklogfile in your home directory. And every time you shut down your system, the complete output of ifconfig and the time is being recorded to.
What to do with this log-file? Well that might be in another instructable.

The verification of noise in on-chip global interconnect is performed through simulation of an electrical circuit comprised of a network of coupled transmission lines, terminated by appropriate models for drivers (transmitters) and loads (receivers). The current methodology utilizes linearized models of the terminations, thus requiring only linear circuit simulations. In this study, we show that while a linear noise analysis methodology that relies on the termination model linearization is very efficient and convenient, it may result in significant loss of accuracy and/or in excessively conservative designs. We identify the situations where modeling the nonlinearity of the termination becomes a determining factor in the accuracy of the analysis. We also study the implications of adopting a fully nonlinear analysis methodology, and propose a practical compromise.


Salary Continuation Plans
A salary continuation plan is a corporate sponsored benefit generally designed to replace an executive's income in the event of his/her death, retirement or disability. The benefit plan is exempt from ERISA and must be confined to a select group of highly compensated people. Because it is exempt from ERISA and is a non-qualified benefit, the company may decide which executives participate and the level of their benefit. For example, the CEO might have 100% of his/her salary replaced by the plan while other executives may have a smaller percentage of their income replaced. In addition, the company may have a "years of service" requirement before the executive is eligible for the benefit. This type of benefit, as opposed to a deferred compensation plan, is fully funded by the company.
A plan begins with a written agreement (Plan Document) outlining the provisions of the plan including how the participating executive qualifies for a benefit. The advantages to the company of establishing a salary continuation plan are:
 1. Its simplicity and ease of administration;
 2. They assist in the attraction and retention of key executives;
 3. They are flexible, allowing for different benefit levels and vesting schedules;
 4. With life insurance, company plan costs can be recovered.
Some of the benefits to executives are:
 1. Personal financial security;
 2. Benefit amounts can be negotiated with the employer;
 3. Acts as a supplement to the 401(k) plan for retirement.
Corporate owned life insurance (COLI) is an excellent way to fund a salary continuation death and retirement benefit. The cash value grows tax-free on the corporate balance sheet and can be used to pay the retirement benefit. An individual supplemental disability policy is then used to fund the disability benefit that cannot be funded by the group long term disability plan.

The relationship between self -report and behavioral observation indices of multicultural counseling competence
Changing demographics in the United States have stirred an increase in attention to multicultural counseling issues. Counseling professionals have questioned whether current training programs adequately prepare counseling students to work with individuals from a culturally diverse client population. Specific competencies have been identified and enumerated. The need for training has been emphasized by professionals and professional organizations. The availability of training in existing counseling psychology programs and internships has been examined. As a result, the measurement and evaluation of multicultural counseling competencies has become increasingly important to counseling psychologists and other professionals who offer counseling services to culturally diverse clients. ^ In recent years 1 supervisor evaluation and 3 self-report instruments have been developed to measure dimensions of the multicultural counseling construct. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between behavioral evaluation and self-report in the measurement of this construct. The relationship between self-report and behavioral evaluation was examined across differences in training level. The existence of a multicultural counseling competence construct, distinct from general counseling competence, as observed and distinguished by expert judges, was also examined. ^ Participants for this study were master's level counseling students and doctoral level students in counseling psychology programs from 3 northeastern universities. The Multicultural Counseling Knowledge and Awareness Scale (MCKAS) was used as a self-report measure of multicultural counseling competency and the Cross Cultural Counseling Inventory-R (CCCI-R) was used as an objective behavioral measure. The Counselor Rating Form-Short Version (CRF-S) was used as a measure of general counseling competence. Two multicultural counseling experts rated participants' counseling response to an interactive video of a client presenting cultural/racial issues during a counseling session. Participants viewed and responded to a video of an African American or a White Confederate client. Both clients presented an identical script. The experts used their ratings to complete a CCCI-R and a CRF-S for each participant. Correlations between the MCKAS subscale scores, the CCCI-R total score, and the CRF-S total score were used to test hypotheses. ^ Results were examined, limitations enumerated, and implications to the field of counseling psychology and for future research were discussed. ^

One of the main reasons for the increase in the number of xylophagous insects is the fact that almost the majority of the territory of the Southern Aral Sea region by geographic location consists of sandy-desert territories. Many historical and cultural objects of the republic were built on these territories. The occurrence of xylophagous insects in natural habitats of the Southern Aral Sea region varied depending on the location of tugai farms. In total, 24.2% of xylophagous insects belonging to 9 orders, 24 families were found in the tugai farms of the Southern Aral Sea region and 100% of the species belonging to the aforementioned group and family in the Nizhne-Amudarya State Biosphere Reserve.

The installation of color laser printer is growing every year. More and more people use laser printer to print photography and disappoint in poor printing quality or paper jam. What is problem happening when using laser printer for photographic printing?
Basically, the color calibration of laser printer is based on common paper (80~100 gsm) before delivery. If increase paper thickness such as the paper of conventional development system is over 180 gsm, the color saturation will be reduced. How to increase both of paper thickness and color saturation at same time?
Slow down printing speed can take more time for toner transfer, avoid paper jam and increase color saturation. In the market, there are different types such as 4~5 ppm (pages per minute), 16 ppm and over 20 ppm. Fortunately, printing speed is possible to be controlled by selection icon of paper material. Recommend the setting of laser printer is 106~163 gsm to slow down printing speed!
Thank to the toner is negative polarity of almost laser printers. Use the paper with positive polarity for laser printing and it is possible to conduct more toner and increase color saturation as well.
Moisture tends to make pulp fibre expansion, raising paper thickness and uneven roughness. Coating skill perhaps is one of solutions to isolate moisture in air. Apply synthetic paper to replace pulp paper is a good alternative to resist moisture completely.
Many people recommend inkject glossy photo paper or premium paper for laser photographic printing. Be careful! The heating temperature of fuser can rise up to 200 degree C during printing. The potential risk of thermal stress is possible to melt-down the coating material of paper surface or crack happening. Particular, printing is operating at low speed. Thickness again! The thickness of those products is over 80~100 gsm.
Due to toner is dry powder in natural, the paper has no connection with resolution. The image resolution is decided by printer engine, toner dimension and printing language. 600 x 600 dpi can offer remarkable picture image quality. 1200 x 1200 and 2400 x 2400 dpi also increase more grades of gray level and improve better cubic effect.
Keep in mind! Toner is dry powder. Whatever your paper is high glossy or brightness, the surface of photo paper is covered by toner after printing. If it can present glossy, that means the toner density is not enough and the color of printing quality is very light. Actually, toner embraces wax inside and it can offer brightness after printer.
The testing had done with HP CLJ 2500/2550/5500/9500, EPSON Aculaser 900/1100/1900/3000/4000 and Konica Minolta magicolor 23xx. That means it is possible to overcome different printer engines for different printing speed, dpi, toner, fuser temperature and so on.

CEP: Process Safety Beacon - Mechanical Integrity of Tubing
Proper installation, maintenance, and inspection of metal tubing is important in preventing fires and toxic material releases in process plants. Do not forget about tubing just because it is usually small. Even a small leak can cause a fire that can grow much larger, and small releases of toxic materials can be dangerous. Here are some reported incidents.

The Desert rose is made of gypsum crystals in connection with sand. The chemical formula is CaSO4 * 2H2O. The hardness is about 1.5 to 2.
Desert roses crystallize, because of the gypsum crystals in the monoclinical crystal system. There are sulfatic solutions which crystallize near the surface and form these aggregates with the desert sand. So it is the structure of the gypsum crystals.
The process only takes place in desert areas, so we can find desert roses in the Sahara and in the Southwest of the USA. There exist little stones and also stones which are several meters high. The reason of the name is firstly that we find the Desert rose in deserts and the second syllable is because of the form.
Desert roses consist of many wafers which are one in another and which have got a round form. At the each they are thin and they become thicker in the middle. Desert roses are redbrown, but bright.


.net - Format Negative numbers in parenthesis BUT NOT …
Since that involves a
character (the closing parenthesis) after the number, the style adds a
trailing space for positive numbers -- I presume so that they will
align in nice columns.
I didn't notice that difference when I was comparing cells that did
have the space with those that didn't.
All I had to do was select the cells with trailing spaces and select
the first negative number option (-1234.56) and all of the trailing
spaces disappeared.
My copy of Excel seems to have the default formatting style for
negative numbers set to (1234.56) for both the Number and the Currency
formats.

Critical Slowing Down
I realize that it's been a long while since I've written a post, so the topic of this one, while unintentionally so, is quite apt.
Among the more universal themes in studying phase transitions is the notion of critical slowing down. Most students are introduced to this idea in the context of second order phase transitions, but it has turned out to be a useful concept in a wide range of systems beyond this narrow framework and into subjects well outside the purview of the average condensed matter physicist.
Stated simply, critical slowing down refers to the phenomenon observed near phase transitions where a slight perturbation or disturbance away from equilibrium takes a really long time to decay back to equilibrium. Why is this the case?
The main idea can be explained within the Landau theory of phase transitions, and I'll take that approach here since it's quite intuitive. As you can see in the images below, when the Landau potential is far from T_c, the potential well can be approximated by a parabolic form. However, this is not possible for the potential near T_c.
Mathematically, this can be explained by considering a simple form of the Landau potential:
V(\phi) = \alpha (T-T_c) x^2 + \beta x^4
Near T_c, the parabolic term vanishes, and we are left with only the quartic one. Although it's clear from the images why the dynamics slow down near T_c, it helps to spell out the math a little.
Firstly, imagine that the potential is filled with some sort of viscous fluid, something akin to honey, and that the dynamics of the ball represents that of the order parameter. This puts us in the "overdamped" limit, where the order parameter reaches the equilibrium point without executing any sort of oscillatory motion. Far from T_c, as aforementioned, we can approximate the dynamics with a parabolic form of the potential (using the equation for the overdamped limit, \dot{x} = -dV/dx):
\dot{x} = -\gamma(T) x
The solution to this differential equation is of exponential form, i.e. x(t) = x(0)e^{-\gamma(T) t}, and the relaxation back to equilibrium is therefore characterized by a temperature-dependent timescale \tau =1/\gamma(T).
However, near T_c, the parabolic approximation breaks down, as the parabolic term gets very small, and we have to take into consideration the quartic term. The order parameter dynamics then get described by:
\dot{x} = -\beta x^3,
which has a solution of the form x(t) \sim 1/\sqrt{\beta t}. Noticeably, the dynamics of the order parameter obey a much slower power law decay near T_c, as illustrated below:
At this point, one would naively think, "okay, so this is some weird thing that happens near a critical point at a phase transition…so what?"
Well, it turns out that critical slowing down can actually serve as a precursor of an oncoming phase transition in all sorts of contexts, and can even be predictive! Here are a pair of illuminating papers which show that critical slowing down occurs near a population collapse in microbial communities (from the Scheffer group and from the Gore group). As an aside, the Gore group used the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in their experiments, which is the yeast used in most beers (I wonder if their lab has tasting parties, and if so, can I get an invitation?).
Here is another recent paper showing critical slowing down in a snap-through instability of an elastic rod. I could go on and on listing the different contexts where critical slowing down has been observed, but I think it's better that I cite this review article.
Surprisingly, critical slowing down has been observed at continuous, first-order and far-from-equilibrium phase transitions! As a consequence of this generality, the observation of critical slowing down can therefore be predictive. If the appropriate measurements could be made, one may be able to see how close the earth's climate is to a "tipping point" from which it will be very difficult to return (due to hysteresic effects) (see this paper which shows some form of critical slowing down in previous climatic changes in the earth's history). But for now, it's just interesting to look for critical slowing down in other contexts that are a little easier to predict and where perhaps the consequences aren't as dire.
*Thanks to Alfred Zong who introduced me to many of the above papers
**Also, a shout out to Brian Skinner who caught repeated noise patterns in a recent preprint on room temperature superconductivity. Great courage and good job!

Land is an important investment. One that is often passed down through generations. Farmland needs to be monitored and cared for to maintain the value and sustainability if it is to be enjoyed and profitable for future generations. Nearly 50% of landowners in Ohio are female. If you fall into this statistic and want to learn more about your land, farming and conservation practices and how to successfully pass it on to the next generation, this program is for you!
Farming has changed dramatically over the last several decades. The thought of trying to understand it all can be overwhelming, especially if not actively farming. This series is designed to help female landowners understand critical conservation and farm management issues related to owning land. It will provide participants with the knowledge, skills and confidence to talk with tenants about farming and conservation practices used on their land. The farm management portion will provide an understanding of passing land on to the next generation and help establish fair rental rates by looking at current farm budgets.
The series runs every other Thursday, June 14 through August 23 from 9:00-11:30 in the Champaign County Community Center Auditorium in Urbana, Ohio. It is $50 for the series. If you are only able to attend a couple of session, it is $10 per session but there is a lot of value in getting to know other participants in the series and talking with them each week. The registration flyer can be found at _URL_ For questions or more information, please contact Amanda Douridas at _PHONE_ or _EMAIL_. Please register by June 4. The detailed agenda is below.

DEFINING NUMBER RANGE IN PENTAHO DATA INTEGRATION
In arithmetic, the range of a set of data is the difference between the largest and smallest values.
However, in descriptive statistics, this concept of range has a more complex meaning. The range is the size of the smallest interval which contains all the data and provides an indication of statistical dispersion. It is measured in the same units as the data. Since it only depends on two of the observations, it is most useful in representing the dispersion of small data sets.
In the following example we have defined a range between two date values to address the issue of a project's performance through Pentaho.
1. Initially we took a Data Grid step where we have defined 3 columns namely project_name, start_date,end_date with certain values stored in it.
2. In the following step we have taken in a calculator step in which we have made some calculations where we are adding a new field which will contain the value for the difference between dates.
If we preview the data until this point we will have the output as shown below.
3. Now we add a NUMBER RANGE step to the calculator step to find the range between min and max values and we have categorized the ranges in terms of excellent, good and average.
4. Finally we push the output to a dummy step where you can see the final output by previewing. One thing to notice in the output is that the field which contains no end_Date has range value as Unknown.

In Italian, "fa presto" literally means "make quickly." It became a painting term when the father of Luca Giordano (_PHONE_) urged his son to speed up his studies.
The term became a nickname for Giordano, and more broadly, a byword among baroque painters like Tintoretto (self portrait, below) who were seeking a more spontaneous handling.
In a fa presto technique, the composition is established quickly over an earth-toned ground with no preliminary drawing. The paint is laid on thinly in the darker areas and broadly and generously in the lights.

I was visiting my sister in Baltimore over the weekend when I saw this really cool lighthouse known as the Seven Foot Knoll. Obviously, it is not in use anymore and has been moved to shore to preserve it as a historical sight, but it used to sit out in the water at the mouth of the Patapsco River. When the lighthouse was in use the light keeper and his family had to live inside of it for long periods of time because there wasn't any easy access to land. They would take everything they needed out with them, including livestock and food supplies. For drinking water the lighthouse funneled rainwater from the roof into 2 large cisterns.
The biggest problem with collecting the rainwater from the roof was the lead that was washed into the cistern with it. Salt spray from the ocean caused the lead roof of the lighthouse to corrode so when it rained the lead mixed with fresh rainwater and contaminated the cistern. Lead is highly toxic and is one of the contaminants that you really don't want in your drinking water. To neutralize the lead they added powdered chalk to the collected water. Fortunately, modern filters are far more effective at reducing lead, but in 1902 it was a standard practice for the light keeper and his family to add chalk to the water.
