are specific to management areas but independent of a particular implementation. These classes constitute the common model and are considered an extension of the core model. An example of a common-model class is the CIM_FileSystem class, which inherits the attributes of CIM_LogicalElement. Because virtually every OS, including Win2K, Linux, and other varieties of UNIX, rely on file-system-based structured storage, the CIM_FileSystem class is an appropriate constituent of the common model.
The final class category comprises technology-specific additions to the common class. Win2K defines a large set of these classes to represent objects specific to the Win32 environment. Because all OSs store data in files, the CIM common model includes the CIM_LogicalFile class. The CIM_DataFile class inherits the CIM_LogicalFile class, and Win32 adds the Win32_PageFile and Win32_ShortCutFile file classes for those Win32 file types.
The Event Log provider makes extensive use of inheritance. Screen 1 shows a view of the WMI CIM Studio, a class browser that ships with the WMI SDK. (Microsoft supplies the WMI SDK with Microsoft Developer Network—MSDN—software.) You can see where the Event Log provider relies on inheritance in the provider's Win32_NTEventlogFile class, which derives from CIM_DataFile. Event Log files are data files that have additional Event Log-specific attributes such as a log file name and a count of the number of records that the file contains. The tree that the class browser shows reveals that Win32_NTEventlogFile is based on several levels of inheritance, in which CIM_DataFile derives from CIM_LogicalElement, and CIM_LogicalElement derives from CIM_ManagedSystemElement.
As I stated earlier, WMI class-provider developers write their classes in MOF. Screen 2, page 78, shows the definition of the Event Log provider's Win32_NTEventlogFile, which is selected in Screen 1. Note the correlation between the first six properties that the right panel lists in Screen 1 and those properties' definitions in the MOF file in Screen 2. CIM Studio uses yellow arrows to tag those properties that a class inherits. Thus, you don't see those properties specified in Win32_NTEventlogFile's definition.
One term worth reviewing is dynamic, which is a descriptive designator for the Win32_NTEventlogFile class that the MOF file in Screen 2 shows. The term means that the WMI infrastructure asks the WMI provider for the values of properties associated with a class whenever a management application queries the properties. A static class is one for which the provider stores the properties in the WMI repository; the WMI infrastructure refers to the repository to obtain the values instead of asking the provider for the values. Because updating the repository is a relatively expensive operation, dynamic providers are more efficient for objects that have properties that change frequently.
After constructing classes in MOF, WMI developers can supply the class definitions to WMI in several ways. One way is for WMI developers to compile an MOF file into a binary MOF (BMF) file—a more compact binary representation than an MOF file—and give the BMF files to the WMI infrastructure. Another way is for the provider to compile the MOF and use WMI COM APIs to give the definitions to the WMI infrastructure. Finally, a provider can use the mofcomp tool to directly give the WMI infrastructure a classes-compiled representation.
The WMI Namespace
Classes define the properties of objects, and class instances represent objects on a system. WMI uses a namespace that contains several subnamespaces that WMI arranges hierarchically to organize object instances. A management appli-cation must connect to a namespace before the application can access objects within the namespace.
WMI names the namespace root directory root. All WMI installations have four predefined namespaces that reside beneath root: CIMV2, Default directory, Security, and WMI. Some of these namespaces have other namespaces within them. For example, CIMV2 includes the Applications and ms_409 namespaces as subnamespaces. Providers sometimes define their own namespaces; you can see the WMI namespace (which the Windows device driver WMI provider defines) beneath root on Win2K.
Unlike a file-system namespace, which comprises a hierarchy of directories and files, a WMI namespace is only one level deep. Instead of using names as a file system does, WMI uses object properties that it defines as keys to identify the objects. Management applications specify class names with key names to locate specific objects within a namespace. Thus, each instance of a class must be uniquely identifiable by its key values. For example, the Event Log provider uses the Win32_NTLogEvent class to represent records in an event log. This class has two keys, LogFile and RecordNumber, both of which are strings. A management application that queries WMI for instances of Event Log records obtains from the provider key pairs that identify records. The application refers to a record using the syntax that you see in this example object pathname: \\MARKLAPTOP\CIMV2:Win32_NTLogEvent.Logfile="Application",RecordNumber="1". The first component in the name identifies the computer on which the object is located, and the second component is the namespace in which the object resides. The class name follows the colon, and key names and their associated values follow the period. A comma separates the key values.
Class Association
Many object types are related to one another in some way. For example, a computer object has a processor, installed software, an OS, active processes, and so on. WMI lets providers construct an association class to represent a logical connection between two different classes. Association classes associate one class with another, so the classes have only two properties. Because the properties are references to classes, the properties consist of a class name and the Ref modifier. Screen 3 shows an association in which the Event Log provider's MOF file associates the Win32_NTLogEvent class with the Win32_ComputerSystem class. Given an object, a management application can query associated objects. In this way, a provider defines a hierarchy of objects.
Screen 4, page 80, shows the WMI Object Browser (another development tool that the WMI SDK includes) viewing the root of the CIMV2 namespace. Win32 system components typically place their objects within the CIMV2 namespace. Object Browser first locates the Win32_ComputerSystem object instance "MARKLAPTOP", which is the object that represents the computer. Then, Object Browser obtains the objects associated with Win32_ComputerSystem and displays them beneath "MARKLAPTOP". The Object Browser user interface (UI) displays association objects with a double-arrow folder icon. The associated class type's objects display beneath the folder.
You can see in Object Browser that the Event Log provider's association class Win32_NTLogEventComputer is beneath "MARKLAPTOP", and that numerous instances of the Win32_NTLogEvent class exist. Refer to Screen 3 to verify that the MOF file defines the Win32_NTLogEventComputer class to associate the Win32_ComputerSystem class with the Win32_NTLogEvent class. Selecting an instance of Win32_NTLogEvent in Object Browser reveals that class's properties in the right-hand pane. Microsoft intended Object Browser to help WMI developers examine their objects, but a management application would perform the same operations and display properties or collected information in a more intelligible manner.
WMI Implementation
The WMI infrastructure implements primarily in the \winnt\system32\wbem\winmgmt.exe executable file. This file runs as a Win32 service that the Win2K Service Control Manager starts the first time a management application or WMI provider tries to access WMI APIs. Most WMI components reside in \winnt\system32 and \winnt\system32\wbem, including Win32 MOF files, built-in provider DLLs, and management application WMI DLLs. Look in the \winnt\system32\wbem directory, and you'll find ntevt.mof, the Event Log provider MOF file. You'll also find ntevt.dll, the Event Log provider's DLL, which winmgmnt.exe loads.
Directories beneath \winnt\system32\wbem store the repository, log files, and third-party MOF files. WMI implements the repository—named the CIM Object Management (CIMOM) repository—as the file \winnt\system32\wbem\repository\cim.rep. WinMgmt honors numerous Registry settings related to the repository (including various internal performance parameters such as CIMOM backup locations and intervals) that the repository's HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WBEM\CIMOM Registry key stores.
Microsoft wanted to extend management capabilities to all aspects of Win2K, so the company had to create a way for device drivers to interact with

Layered Fabric Materiality
Layered Fabric Materiality in Architectural FRP Surface Elements.
Fabrics have particular material qualities, ranging across aesthetic values to unique structural capacities. At the basis of this research stands the term Fabric Materiality (FM), coined to represent the totality of qualities, attributes and techniques associated with fabric materials, which potentially interface between disciplines as a basis for transfer of technologies. Applied to the field of architectural FRP, its integration in design and fabrication is expected to remove current barriers for wider architectural application, tightly linked to the reliance on moulds. Following prior experimentation with FM integration in linear elements, this paper describes its potential in FRP surface elements, obtaining stiffness and introducing three-dimensional articulation by fabric manipulation and self-organisation. A multi-layered surface element is outlined, as a porous matter-structure of partial lamination, to potentially be resilient architectural skin.

mysqlnd-qc-php-quickstart-php-caching-4
 - Quickstart and
 Examples
 - Caching queries
 - Caching queries
 - Caching queries
 Caching queries
 There are four ways to trigger caching of a
 query.
 - Use of SQL hints on a
 per query basis
 - User supplied callbacks
 to decide on a per query basis, for example, using mysqlnd_qc_is_select()
 - mysqlnd_set_cache_condition()
 for rule based automatic per query decisions
 - mysqlnd_qc.cache_by_default = 1 to cache all
 queries blindly
 Use of SQL hints and mysqlnd_qc.cache_by_default = 1 are explained
 below. Please, refer to the function reference on mysqlnd_qc_is_select() for a
 description of using a callback and, mysqlnd_qc_set_cache_condition() on how
 to set rules for automatic caching.
 A SQL hint is a SQL standards compliant comment. As
 a SQL comment it is ignored by the database. A statement is
 considered eligible for caching if it either begins with the SQL
 hint enabling caching or it is a SELECT statement.
 An individual query which shall be cached must
 begin with the SQL hint /*qc=on*/. It is recommended to
 use the PHP constant MYSQLND_QC_ENABLE_SWITCH instead of using the
 string value.
 - not eligible for caching and not cached: INSERT
 INTO test(id) VALUES (1)
 - not eligible for caching and not cached: SHOW
 ENGINES
 - eligible for caching but uncached: SELECT id
 FROM test
 - eligible for caching and cached:
 /*qc=on*/SELECT id FROM test
 The examples SELECT statement string is
 prefixed with the MYSQLND_QC_ENABLE_SWITCH SQL hint to enable caching
 of the statement. The SQL hint must be given at the very beginning
 of the statement string to enable caching.
 Example #1 Using the MYSQLND_QC_ENABLE_SWITCH
 SQL hint
 mysqlnd_qc.enable_qc=1

 <?php
 /* Connect, create and populate test table */
 $mysqli = new mysqli("host""user""password""schema""port""socket");
 $mysqli->query("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test");
 $mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE test(id INT)");
 $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO test(id) VALUES (1), (2)");
 /* Will be cached because of the SQL hint */
 $start microtime(true);
 $res $mysqli->query("/*" MYSQLND_QC_ENABLE_SWITCH "*/" "SELECT id FROM test WHERE id = 1");
 var_dump($res->fetch_assoc());
 $res->free();
 printf("Total time uncached query: %.6fs\n"microtime(true) - $start);
 /* Cache hit */
 $start microtime(true);
 $res $mysqli->query("/*" MYSQLND_QC_ENABLE_SWITCH "*/" "SELECT id FROM test WHERE id = 1");
 var_dump($res->fetch_assoc());
 $res->free();
 printf("Total time cached query: %.6fs\n"microtime(true) - $start);
 ?>
 The above examples will output something similar to:
 array(1) {
 ["id"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 }
 Total time uncached query: 0.000740s
 array(1) {
 ["id"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 }
 Total time cached query: 0.000098s

 If nothing else is configured, as it is the case in
 the quickstart example, the plugin will use the built-in
 default storage handler. The default storage
 handler uses process memory to hold a cache entry. Depending on the
 PHP deployment model, a PHP process may serve one or more web
 requests. Please, consult the web server manual for details.
 Details make no difference for the examples given in the
 quickstart.
 The query cache plugin will cache all queries
 regardless if the query string begins with the SQL hint which
 enables caching or not, if the PHP configuration directive
 mysqlnd_qc.cache_by_default is set to 1.
 The setting mysqlnd_qc.cache_by_default is evaluated by the
 core of the query cache plugins. Neither the built-in nor
 user-defined storage handler can overrule the setting.
 The SQL hint /*qc=off*/ can be used to
 disable caching of individual queries if mysqlnd_qc.cache_by_default = 1 It is recommended
 to use the PHP constant MYSQLND_QC_DISABLE_SWITCH instead of using
 the string value.
 Example #2 Using the MYSQLND_QC_DISABLE_SWITCH
 SQL hint
 mysqlnd_qc.enable_qc=1
 mysqlnd_qc.cache_by_default=1

 <?php
 /* Connect, create and populate test table */
 $mysqli = new mysqli("host""user""password""schema""port""socket");
 $mysqli->query("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test");
 $mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE test(id INT)");
 $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO test(id) VALUES (1), (2)");
 /* Will be cached although no SQL hint is present because of mysqlnd_qc.cache_by_default = 1*/
 $res $mysqli->query("SELECT id FROM test WHERE id = 1");
 var_dump($res->fetch_assoc());
 $res->free();
 $mysqli->query("DELETE FROM test WHERE id = 1");
 /* Cache hit - no automatic invalidation and still valid! */
 $res $mysqli->query("SELECT id FROM test WHERE id = 1");
 var_dump($res->fetch_assoc());
 $res->free();
 /* Cache miss - query must not be cached because of the SQL hint */
 $res $mysqli->query("/*" MYSQLND_QC_DISABLE_SWITCH "*/SELECT id FROM test WHERE id = 1");
 var_dump($res->fetch_assoc());
 $res->free();
 ?>
 The above examples will output:
 array(1) {
 ["id"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 }
 array(1) {
 ["id"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 }
 NULL

 PECL/mysqlnd_qc forbids caching of statements for
 which at least one column from the statements result set shows no
 table name in its meta data by default. This is usually the case
 for columns originating from SQL functions such as NOW()
 or LAST_INSERT_ID(). The policy aims to prevent pitfalls
 if caching by default is used.
 Example #3 Example showing which type of statements are
 not cached
 mysqlnd_qc.enable_qc=1
 mysqlnd_qc.cache_by_default=1

 <?php
 /* Connect, create and populate test table */
 $mysqli = new mysqli("host""user""password""schema""port""socket");
 $mysqli->query("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test");
 $mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE test(id INT)");
 $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO test(id) VALUES (1)");
 for ($i 0$i 3$i++) {
 $start microtime(true);
 /* Note: statement will not be cached because of NOW() use */

 $res $mysqli->query("SELECT id, NOW() AS _time FROM test");

 $row $res->fetch_assoc();
 /* dump results */

 var_dump($row);
 printf("Total time: %.6fs\n"microtime(true) - $start);
 /* pause one second */

 sleep(1);
 }
 ?>
 The above examples will output something similar to:
 array(2) {
 ["id"]=>
 string(1) "1"
 ["_time"]=>
 string(19) "2012-01-11 15:43:10"
 }
 Total time: 0.000540s
 array(2)

Index > Manifesto
The Ventotene Manifesto by Altiero Spinelli and Ernesto Rossi.
For a Free and United Europe. A draft Manifesto.
The Ventotene Manifesto was written in mid-1941 by Spinelli and Rossi (an economics professor leader of the social-liberal movement Giustizia and Libertà) in confinement on the island of Ventotene.
After the reading of two articles written in 1918 by Luigi Einaudi (a liberal economist who had been Rossi's professor) predicting that the League of Nations would not prevent another European war and advocating a European federation, Spinelli and Rossi studied works by contemporary British federalist writers and wrote the Ventotene Manifesto in order to initiate a movement to campaign for a European Federation.
Spinelli drafted all Manifesto's sections save one which Rossi drafted on economic and social policy but each of them influenced what the other wrote. Spinelli in the second half of 1942 wrote the essay on 'The United States of Europe and the Various Political Tendencies' and in 1943 the one on 'Marxist Policy and Federalist Policy'.

Auto Accidents and Red Lights Can Cause Personal Injury
Cars running red lights or failing to halt at a stop sign are just a few of the leading causes of traffic accidents that occur every day. If you have been injured and are facing extensive medical bills and loss of income as a result of an auto accident that resulted from another driving running a red light, personal injury attorney Chris Olsen is trained to seek the maximum compensation you deserve. We routinely handle cases that involve auto accidents and red lights on a regular basis at Olsen Law Offices for clients in the San Diego, CA area.
Causes of Red Light Auto Accidents
Recent research has shown that drivers running red lights are responsible for two million auto accidents each year. Of those accidents, 700,000 injuries and 8,000 fatalities occurred. Although distracted driving plays a role in causing traffic accidents, the most common causes of red light auto accidents include:
- Drivers who are texting or talking on their cellphone
- Drivers who are intoxicated
- Drivers who are in a hurry, impatient, or recklessly driving
- Drivers who speed up at an intersection when the light changes yellow
- Drivers who tailgate
- Drivers who are distracted by any number of things (cellphone, children, GPS, eating, etc.) and fail to notice the light changing
- Environmental factors, such as blinding sun, rain, snow, or fog
Who Is Most Likely to Cause a Red Light Accident?
Although anyone is susceptible to causing a red light accident, research has shown that there are a variety of characteristics commonly seen in drivers who are prone to cause red light auto accidents, such as:
- Inexperienced or uneducated drivers
- Male drivers
- Young drivers
- Repeat offenders with prior speeding or DUI/DWI convictions
- Reckless or impatient drivers
- Unlicensed or uninsured drivers
What to Do after An Accident
The moment the accident occurs, it's important to dial 911 so the appropriate emergency services are available to help with your accident. Having an EMT and policeman available will allow the appropriate documentation to be made, as well as ensure medical attention is delivered.
Red light accidents can result in:
- Brain injuries
- Spinal cord damage
- Permanent nerve and muscle injury
- Broken bones
- Lost wages
- Inability to work
- Temporary or long-term disability
When any of the above occurs and the other driver is at fault, you are legally allowed to seek compensation. Although insurance companies often handle such cases, unfortunately, drivers do not always receive the coverage they deserve. Attorney Chris Olsen will open an investigation and meet with doctors, witnesses, and carefully review the police reports and pictures taken to ensure you receive maximum compensation for what you or your loved ones has lost, especially in accidents that resulted in fatalities.
Contact Us Today
If you have been injured as a result of a negligent driver or have a loved one who has been fatally injured, attorney Chris Olsen can seek adequate compensation for medical bills, personal injury, property damage, pain and suffering, and lost wages.

Research Study - Validation of a motion capture system for deriving accurate ground reaction forces
Objective: the purpose of this project was to compare the vertical ground reaction forces obtained from a force plate with calculated GRFs derived from a motion capture system
These results indicate that ground reaction forces can be accurately derived from a motion capture system without the use of a force plate. Additionally, the large volumes of raw data were easily and rapidly analyzed using the easily customized software program. These results indicate that intricate kinetic characteristics of human motion can be validly determined without being restricted to performing on a force plate.

How Much Does It Cost To Patch a Tire?
When driving, unexpected situations such as a flat tire can quickly become a hassle. Whether it is due to running over a sharp object or driving on rough terrain, having to deal with a punctured tire can be inconvenient and potentially dangerous. The most common solution is to have the tire patched. Many drivers wonder: How Much Does It Cost To Patch a Tire?
How Much Does It Cost To Patch a Tire Yourself?
Patching a tire can be a cost-effective alternative to a professional repair shop. The average cost of patching a tire at home can range from $5 to $20, depending on the patch kit you purchase. Basic patch kits typically include everything you need, such as patches, cement, and tools for installation.
How Much Does It Cost To Patch a Tire?
Investing in a good quality patch kit and following proper instructions can save money in the long run.
Before patching your tire, it is important to consider certain factors.
 - The severity and location of the puncture play a significant role in determining whether self-patching is feasible.
 - Complex or large punctures may require masterful expertise or even tire replacement.
 - Basic knowledge about tires and repair techniques is essential for successful self-patching.
How Much Does It Cost for a Shop To Patch Your Tire?
The good news is that patching a tire is often significantly cheaper than buying a brand-new one. On average, the cost for a shop to patch your tire ranges from $20 to $40 per tire. Remember that this estimate might not include additional fees such as taxes and labor charges.
How Do You Know if You Can Patch the Tire?
The size and location of the puncture play a significant role. If the hole is less than 1/4 inch in diameter and is located on the tread area (the part that comes into contact with the road), chances are it can be patched successfully.
The tire's condition is worn-out or damaged and may not be suitable for patching as it could compromise its integrity and safety. If bulges or sidewall damage are present, patching may not be recommended.
It's important to remember that patches are only meant to provide temporary repairs and should never replace regular tire maintenance or expert inspection.
Why Do Tires Go Flat?
Punctures from nails, screws, or other sharp road objects make tires flat. When these objects pierce through the tire's rubber surface, they create a small hole that allows air to escape gradually. Tires can also go flat due to damage caused by hitting potholes or curbs too forcefully.
How Much Does It Cost To Patch a Tire?
The impact can cause the tire to crack or lose its seal with the rim, leading to air leakage. Slow air loss over time causes the tire to be flat. All tires experience natural air pressure loss due to permeation through their rubber material.
How To Avoid Getting Flat Tires?
Getting a flat tire is an inconvenience that can happen to anyone any time. Following a few simple steps can greatly reduce the chances of experiencing this frustrating situation.
Regular maintenance is key. Check your tire load at least once a month and ensure it matches the manufacturer's recommended level. Under-inflated or over-inflated tires are more prone to damage and punctures.
Inspect them regularly for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, bulges, or uneven tread wear patterns. If you notice any abnormalities, it may be time for new tires or repairs from a fine.
Avoiding potholes and other obstacles on the road whenever possible can go a long way in preventing flats.
How To Patch a Tire
1. Find the Leak
Patching a tire is identifying where the leak is coming from. Begin by visually inspecting the tire for any obvious punctures. If nothing stands out, spray a spray bottle with soapy water and spray it onto the tire's surface while it's inflated. Look closely for any bubbling spots indicating air escaping through tiny holes.
Once you've located the source of leakage, mark it with chalk or tape to ensure you don't lose track of its position while working on the repair.
2. Remove the Tire
Removing it from the vehicle is the first step. You can easily tackle it with some guidance and a few essential tools. Here are four simple steps to help you remove your tire safely and efficiently.
 - Ensure your vehicle is parked on a flat surface and engage the parking brake for added safety.
 - Use a lug or socket wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the tire you wish to patch—remember, lefty loosey!
 - Once the lug nuts are loosened, locate your vehicle's jack points using its manual.
 - Position the jack underneath one of these points to lift your vehicle until the tire is off the ground.
3. Remove the Valve Stem and Object
To start, locate the valve stem on your tire, usually near the edge of the rim. Using a valve stem removal tool or pliers, unscrew it counterclockwise until it comes off completely. Be careful not to lose the small rubber washer between the stem and rim.
After removing the valve stem, inspect your tire for any screws or other sharp objects lodged in its surface. If you find an object sticking out of your tire, do not pull it out forcefully, as this may cause further harm. Grab a pair of pliers or needle-nose grips and gently pull out the object straight from where it entered.
4. Separate the Tire and Wheel
This process allows easy access to locate and repair leaks or punctures. To begin, elevate the vehicle using a jack and ensure it is secure before proceeding. Once lifted, use a lug wrench to loosen and remove the lug nuts, carefully removing the wheel.
How Much Does It Cost To Patch a Tire?
After removing the wheel, inspect both sides of the tire thoroughly for any foreign objects that may have caused a puncture. Identifying these items is essential as they can cause further destruction if left unattended.
Deflate the tire completely by removing its cap and pressing down on its center pin with a small tool or your fingernail until all air escapes. To aid in separating the tire and wheel further, apply some soapy water around its edges; this will act as a lubricant during the next step.
5. Install the Patch
To begin, ensure you have all the necessary tools and materials: a tire repair kit, rubber cement, a rasp tool, and a tire plug.
Start by locating the puncture on your tire's tread surface, spraying soapy water, and looking for any bubbles forming. Once located, use the rasp tool to roughen up the area around the hole – this helps create better adhesion for the patch.
Apply rubber cement generously over this roughened area and allow it to dry for a few minutes until it becomes tacky.
6. Let It Dry
When applying the adhesive and firmly placing the patch over the punctured area, it is crucial to let it dry thoroughly before re-inflating the tire or driving your vehicle again.
7. Put the Tire on the Wheel
This step requires attention to detail and careful execution to ensure a secure and safe fit. Locate the valve stem hole on the rim and align it with your tire's plug stem. Gently push down on the tire, using your body weight if necessary, until it fully sits on the rim. You must Changing Tire Size on Same Rim.
Move around the wheel clockwise and ensure both sides of the bead are properly seated within their respective rims. This is important for maintaining balance while driving. Use your hands or a rubber mallet to tap any stubborn areas of the bead that may not have been seated properly.
Both sides of the tire are securely seated on the rim, inflating with air from a compressor or pump.
8. Inflate the Tire
Your tire ensures that it can support the weight of your vehicle and provides a smooth and safe ride. To inflate the tire, remove the valve cap from the stem. This will allow you to attach an air pump or compressor to add air.
Locate an appropriate air source. You can use an air pump at a gas station or invest in a portable air compressor for convenience. Attach the hose or compressor securely onto the cut stem, ensuring no leaks. Once attached, turn on the pump or activate your compressor.
Monitor the pressure gauge as you inflate the tire, making sure not to exceed its recommended PSI (pounds per square inch).
9. Reinstall It!
Properly reinstalling the tire ensures that your repair work will hold up and keep you safely on the road. Carefully align the holes in the rim with the trench stem and gently slide the tire onto it. Ensure that both beads of the tire (the inner edges) are seated evenly on both sides of the rim. Inflate the tire partially so it takes shape but still has some give. This will help you adjust its position if needed. Workaround both sides of the rim using your hands or a pry bar, pushing down on each section of the bead until it settles into place.
Final Thoughts
How Much Does It Cost To Patch a Tire? It can vary depending on factors such as the tire type, the puncture's severity and location, and the labor costs in different areas. It can cost between $20 to $40 per tire to be patched professionally. It is important to note that while patching a tire may be a more affordable option than replacing it entirely, it is crucial to assess the tire's condition and consult with a skilled before making a decision. Regular maintenance and inspection of tires can help identify potential issues early on and potentially avoid costly repairs.

Notopterus chitala is a member of the primitive teleost lineage and considered as commercially important food fish. To study the concentration of sodium and potassium and the influence of fish size and condition factor on the bioaccumulation of these macro-elements, a total of 16 fish specimens of N. chitala were collected from the River Indus. Mean (±SD) body weight, total length and condition factor was found 250.32±113.93 g, 32.93 ± 4.85 cm and 0.647± 0.094. Fish samples were oven dried, grinded, ashed and digested into 1M HNO3 to make sample solution. Flame atomic absorption measurements were analyzed to detect the concentration of sodium and potassium with atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Mean concentration of sodium was found 255.51± 32.45 µgg-1 with range values 206.28-298.70 µgg-1, while potassium was observed 1327.15 ± 234.71 µgg-1 with range 815.08-1694.87 µgg-1 in wet body weight of wild captured N. chitala. Body weight, total length and condition factor represented insignificant correlations with the concentrations of sodium and potassium in N. chitala, indicating no dependence of fish size on the bioaccumulation of these essential minerals in the body of this fish species.

Finding Reachy's IP
The last required step before actually programing your Reachy is to find its IP address.
A small LCD screen should be installed in Reachy's back to display Reachy's IP address. You will need to take down its tee-shirt to see the LCD screen.
The instructions to display the IP address to the LCD screen is provided by the dashboard which is started at boot with the service reachy_dashboard.service.
If the LCD screen is not working, check out the page Find my IP section to learn other ways to get the IP address.
Note: Using the SDK locally also avoids network potential latency or bandwidth issue. Yet, it may not be as convenient as working directly from your usual laptop. You need to plug a screen, keyboard and mouse directly on Reachy's computer.
You can check that everything is working as expected by running the following Python code:
from reachy_sdk import ReachySDK
# Replace with the actual IP you've found.
reachy = ReachySDK(host='the.reachy.ip.found.')

University of New Mexico's Steven Homer is named among 26 law teachers nationally who have had a significant, positive and long-term impact on their students. Homer, interim director of the Legal Analysis and Communications Program, has received the UNM Outstanding Adjunct/Lecturer of the Year Award and is a multiple winner of the Dean's Award for Faculty Excellence in the UNM School of Law.
Homer is featured in the book, What the Best Law Teachers Do, Harvard University Press, 2013. The book is the culmination of a four-year study to identify extraordinary law teachers. They received hundreds of nominations from which they selected the 26 they profiled. The authors visited the subjects, observed class sessions and conducted interviews with subjects, students, alumni, deans and other faculty.
The book studies the atrributes and practices of these law professors, described as "inspiring role models to their students, who consciously and carefully prepare their students to practice law, who devote themselves to helping their students grow as people and as future lawyers, and who mentor their students, helping them find jobs and make career choices, even long after the students have graduated."
Homer teaches first and second year students and has taught in the school's clinic program for third year students. He insists that everyone must participate in class. "Speaking in front of people is very important for a lawyer," he said. So, he calls on each of his students every day. He acknolwedges that it is stressful at first, but as time goes by, students become more comfortable with it.
The book identifies structure as key in the classroom; that students repeatedly say they appreciate having a structure that helps them learn. Homer scripts his whole class to ensure that each class is productive. He organizes content, develops the sequence of questions and anticipates the answers. Part of his job, he said, is to keep students on task. His students commented on how clear his expectations are and how important they are to gauge progress.
One of the lasting lessons for Homer's students is thoughtful writing. Students are quoted discussing the link between careful reading and persuasive writing, focusing on the purpose in writing and the importance of editing. One former student said those practices have been ingrained and when people in the office pass motions around before filing them, they actually say "do the Homer thing" -- chop out extraneous verbiage.
The book is authored by Professor Gerry Hess of Gonzaga University School of Law, Professor Sophie Sparrow of the University of New Hampshire School of Law, and Michael Hunter Schwartz, dean and professor of law at the UALR William H. Bowen School of Law.
According to Hess, "All of the teachers we studied are regarded as being among the most rigorous professors at their law schools who have high expectations of every student, yet they also are known for their kindness to their students. They foster self-confidence in their students and inspire in them a belief that they are capable of great things. They get to know their students as people and manifest caring and respect for their students. These teachers model hard work, creativity and humility."


DTV is a library that provides a simple interface for generating video files from a C++ application
Direct to Video (DTV)
Alt text
What does DTV do?
DTV is a library that provides a simple interface for generating video files from a C++ application. It uses FFmpeg which means that it supports the same encoders and performance that you would get from something like OBS. Unlike OBS, however, it is not dependent on the input being delivered in real-time. This means that regardless of the input frequency to DTV, the output will always be at the frame rate that you select.
How do I use it?
Check out the sample application that is provided with DTV. The interface is extremely minimalistic and is comprised of a handful of intuitive functions. The steps to write an entire video look like this:
 1. Start the encoder by calling the encoder.run(...) method. The encoder runs in its own thread and will wait for you to send video frames to it.
 2. Call encoder.newFrame(...) to get a frame from the buffer to write to. This comes in blocking and non-blocking versions. By calling encoder.newFrame(true), DTV will wait for a frame to become available if the encoder is lagging behind the input. Changing the input to false will cause the encoder to return nullptr if a frame is not available to write to. This can be useful if you'd prefer to miss frames over slowing down your application.
 3. Fill the frame with whatever data you like by populating the atg_dtv::Frame::m_rgb array with 8-bit values.
 4. Commit the frame by calling encoder.submitFrame().
 5. Repeat steps 2-4 until you have no frames left to write.
 6. Call encoder.commit() to inform the encoder that the video stream is over.
 7. Call encoder.stop() which will wait until the encoder finishes encoding buffered frames and then for the encoder thread to exit.
How do I build it?
You will need to have FFmpeg development libraries installed on your computer and the directory listed on your PATH. DTV has only been tested on Windows but in principle should build on other platforms. The cmake script that searches for FFmpeg libraries, however, is Windows specific and you'll have to modify cmake/FindFFmpeg.cmake to work for other platforms. (If you do this, please create a pull-request!)
For FFmpeg pre-built binaries, see the OBS installation instructions page.
Build Steps
 1. Make sure you have the latest version of CMake installed
 2. Make sure you have FFmpeg binaries installed (see above)
 3. Clone the repository: git clone _URL_
 4. cd direct-to-video
 5. mkdir build
 6. cd build
 7. cmake ..
 8. cmake --build .
 9. For MSVC users, check the build folder for a generated Visual Studio solution. You can use this solution like any other and will contain the DTV library as well as the demo application in separate projects.

This report describes New Zealanders that have been made to have sex against their will, referred to as non-volitional sex. It covers their age at the most recent non-volitional sex and their relationship with the perpetrator.
Over 10,000 respondents aged 16–74 years completed the sexual and reproductive health module in the 2014/15 Health Survey.
Use our Sexual and Reproductive Health Data Explorer to see the results from the 2014/15 Health Survey.
If you have any queries please email [email protected].
Overview of key findings
- Sex against an individual's will after the age of 13, referred to in this document as non-volitional sex, has been experienced by many more women (one in nine) than men (one in 30) aged 16–74 years; over half of these experiences occurred when the people concerned were teenagers.
- Māori men and women were more likely to have experienced non-volitional sex than non-Māori, and Asian women were less likely than non-Asian women to have experienced it.
- Women currently living in the most deprived areas were more likely than those in the least deprived areas to have experienced non-volitional sex.
- Women and men mostly knew the perpetrator of their most recent experience of non-volitional sex, either as a former or current intimate partner (34 percent of women, 16 percent of men), a family member or friend (26 percent of women, 31 percent of men), or as an acquaintance (22 percent of women, 28 percent of men).
- Among Māori and Pacific women, the most recent perpetrator was more likely to have been a family member or friend than it was for non-Māori and non-Pacific women.

Females: 500 lbs
Males: 710 lbs
Name of Young
- American Elk are the second largest member of the deer family. The males of one subspecies, called the Roosevelt Elk, may reach the weight of 1300 lbs. The largest member of the deer family is the moose.
- Males begin growing antlers at around 11 months of age. Their antlers are fully grown when the elk reaches 4-6 years old. The antlers are 5.6 feet across on average and can weigh up to 40 lbs.
- Newborn elk weigh about 35 lbs at birth, and they are born with spots which fade by the end of the summer. By the time they are 6 months old, they are almost the size of an adult white tailed deer.
- During the mating season male elk bugle and grunt. Females may respond to their calls with a barking noise. Males will roll in mud during the breeding season to become more attractive to the females.
Did You Know?
Elk are important to many Native American tribes. In Lakota culture the spiritual elk was a symbol of strength and courage. Another name for elk is Wapiti. This word means "White Rump" in the Shawnee language.

Application of Weakly Compressible Flow Method to 2-D Open Channel Flowsby Qun Wang, Univ of Minnesota, Minneapolis, United States,
Charles C. S. Song, Univ of Minnesota, Minneapolis, United States,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Hydraulic Engineering
Abstract: The depth averaged equations for open channel flows are shown to be similar to that of the weakly compressible flows. The finite volume scheme developed for weakly compressible flows has been used to calculate steady flows in a rectangular channel of constant cross section and a rectangular channel with sudden expansion. The vorticity production at the flow separation point and the vorticity absorption at the channel bed due to shear stress are demonstrated.

What to do in the 11th arrondissement?
- Edith Piaf Museum
The Museum is in the 11th arrondissement in Edith Piaf's own apartment. Bernard Marchois, a big fan of Edith Piaf, was still a young student when he first met her in 1958. He sometimes attended Edith's rehearsals at 67 Boulevard Lannes. In 1967, he set up the association "The Friends of Edith Piaf", and ten years later opened a private museum dedicated to his idol. Many objects belonging to Edith Piaf are kept here (one of her famous black dresses, the cuddly toys given to her by her last husband, her size 34 stage shoes…).
Visits are free but reservation is obligatory on 01 43 55 52 72.
- Place de la Bastille
The Place de la Bastille is a Paris square, symbolising the French Revolution. In 1794, the guillotine was set up there, and 73 people were guillotined. The July Column was erected in 1835 by Louis Philippe to commemorate the 1830 Revolution. There are many sights and monuments around the square (Bastille Opera, Bastille metro station, where you can see remains of the Bastille prison).
- The hidden passageways of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine
Rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine is one of the oldest streets in Paris. It connects Place de la Bastille to Place de la Nation. Here, for example, you will find a large number of passageways: Cours de l'Etoile d'Or, Cour des Shadocks or Passage du Chantier. Until the 20th century, many carpenters and furniture-makers set up their workshops in these little hidden passageways. They were not far away from the Port de l'Arsenal (the last port in Paris).

A common ongoing debate within the aviation community is centered around flight instruments. Specifically, the comparison between the modern glass cockpit and the 'old school' six pack. A glass cockpit is an aircraft cockpit that features electronic or digital flight instrument displays, and typically large LCD screens. This differs from the classic six pack, which is composed of the traditional style analog dials and gauges, nicknamed 'steam gauges.' The six pack, which comprises the airspeed indicator, altimeter, vertical speed indicator, attitude indicator, heading indicator, and turn coordinator, has been in use for years, and remains a good option. However, glass cockpits represent the future of aviation. This blog will explain the main differences between these modern and classic instrumentation systems.
The Garmin G1000 is a perfect example of the modern glass cockpit. This system uses Avidyne Avionics displayed on two Garmin 430 screens. The left screen is the PFD (primary flight display) where all primary flight instruments are presented. Everything from the six pack is featured on this screen, in addition to the rudder coordination, which is represented by a black and white triangle at the top of the screen. The alignment of the white portion of the triangle with the black part represents the coordination of the rudder.
This system is powered by a separate computer. The aircraft still features a pitot tube and static ports, and the air is sent into the flight management systems which display the information. Two main advantages of the glass cockpit are that they have fewer mechanical parts that can break down or provide inaccurate readings, and the automation systems within glass cockpits offer more precise information. Although glass cockpits seem highly advanced, sophisticated, and complicated, if you can read the old style gauges, you can read this display.
Despite its advanced nature, there are drawbacks to the glass cockpit. For one, when first learning to read instruments, your instrument scan can be adversely affected. In a standard six pack, the readings are clearly displayed where they can all be monitored at once. Additionally, all instruments in a six pack are separate from each other. As such, the pilot has to move their eyes across all of them quickly enough to get a good instrument scan while still flying the aircraft. This helps create a solid base for good flying skills.
In a six pack, each of the instruments has a mechanical linkage behind it which can break, leaving the entire instrument useless. This is the main negative of flying with steam gauges, as you usually have to entirely replace the instrument to fix it. These can also have accuracy deficiencies when incorporating factors like gyroscopic precession in a gyroscope-powered instrument. Furthermore, the altimeter, even if in the proper altimeter setting, can read inaccurately and will eventually need to be fixed.
No matter if you prefer the traditional six pack, or the new glass cockpit, its importance to the function and performance of your aircraft cannot be overstated. As such, you should be sure you are getting your aircraft parts and components from a trusted source like Veritable Aviation.

Conditional compilation allows the use of new JScript language features without sacrificing compatibility with older versions that do not support the features.
Conditional compilation is activated by using the _USER_ statement, or using an _USER_ or _USER_ statement. Some typical uses for conditional compilation include using new features in JScript, embedding debugging support into a script, and tracing code execution.
Always place conditional compilation code in comments, so that hosts (like Netscape Navigator) that do not understand conditional compilation will ignore it. Here is an example.
/*_USER_ @*/ /*_USER_ (_USER_ >= 4) alert("JScript version 4 or better"); _USER_ @*/ alert("You need a more recent script engine."); /*_USER_ @*/
This example uses special comment delimiters that are only used if conditional compilation is activated by the _USER_ statement. Scripting engines that do not support conditional compilation only see the message informing of the need for a new scripting engine.


Sickness Absence and Precarious Employment: A Comparative Cross-National Study of Denmark, Finland, Sweden, and Norway
A Oke, P Braithwaite, D Antai
Background: Precarious employment is a major social determinant of health and health inequalities with effects beyond the health of workers.
Objective: To investigate the association between precarious employment and sickness absence in 4 Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
Methods: Logistic regression analyses were conducted separately for each country on data from 4186 respondents aged 15–65 years in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden derived from the 2010 European Working Conditions Survey. Sickness absence was based on self-reports and defined as absence of seven or more day per year. Precarious employment was operationalized as a multidimensional construct of indicators. Analyses were also conducted separately for men and women.
Results: The prevalence of sickness absence was lowest in Sweden (18%), and highest in Finland (28%). 3 precarious employment indicators were positively associated with sickness absence; the pattern being largely similar in the total sample. In the sex-disaggregated sample, 5 precarious employment indicators increased the likelihood of sickness absence; the pattern was heterogeneous, with women generally having significantly higher odds of sickness absence than men. "Low household income" and "sickness presenteeism" were strong predictors of sickness absence among both sexes in most of the 4 studied countries. Sickness absence varied between the Nordic countries in the sex-disaggregated analyses.
Conclusion: Precarious employment indicators predicted sickness absence in the Nordic countries. Findings emphasize the need to prioritize informed and monitored collective bargaining for all workers, increase working time flexibility, and improving work conditions.

ECIR 2015 workshop on gamification for information retrieval (GamifIR'15)
The second workshop on Gamification for Information Retrieval took place at ECIR 2015 in Vienna, Austria on the 29th of March. The workshop program included two invited keynote presentations, seven oral presentations of refereed papers, lots of mini discussion sessions and a fishbowl session. The presentations covered diverse topics from playing around with an eye tracker to a game with IR papers and even a game of scientific hangman, generating lively and fun discussions. The workshop was a crowdpinion experiment itself, gathering participants' momentary opinions via an Android app. One of the main themes of the day was the interplay of gamification aspects and incentives, where the key challenge is to align player motivations with the goal of the task. Any misalignment may lead to gamification as a tool being more damaging than useful with users' focus shifting from the task to gaming the system.

Title: Endangered Hawaiian Hoary Bat
An endangered Hawaiian hoary bat, a species that is sometimes killed by wind turbines. USGS scientists from Hawaii and Colorado are devising a way to directly observe bat occurrence and behavior at wind turbines using a video system composed of high-powered illuminators and near-infrared cameras. This new approach images the full rotor-swept areas of wind turbines for entire nights and long durations, and then uses advanced image-processing software to automatically find flying bats and birds in the copious amounts of recorded footage. This a significant step in developing a feasible method to enhance our understanding of how wind turbines affect bats and nocturnal migratory birds, with the ultimate goal of finding new ways for wind-energy development to continue expanding while reducing the harmful effects of this renewable energy source on wildlife.

Given that Thanksgiving has the reputation for being a day of Herculean food consumption, here's a rather strange World War II propaganda cartoon that visualizes such gustatory excess. In the 1942 short "Food Will Win The War," an overexcited narrator begins yelling about how bridges of butter, flour blizzards, and Brogdingnagian obese children will destroy the German army. Wars are won and lost on tubers the size of the Rock of Gibraltar. The statistics get crazy at 1:40.

Food is the basic source of nutrition to both humans and animals. Lack of it leads to hunger which can be tracked by a pawn's food meter known as saturation and a long excessive deprivation leads to starvation.
For a more in-depth guide to farming and producing food, see Food production.
Raw Food
For a list of raw food items, see Raw food.
Food found in its natural stage is raw, fruits can be consumed without cooking but vegetables and meat will taste better for the colonist when prepared. Raws can still be consumed without being heated but causes the Ate raw food thought with a -7 mood penalty. Eating raw food restores 0.05 saturation each. Foods cooked at an electric stove, fueled stove or campfire turn into meals, later on it can be processed at the nutrient paste dispenser as well.
Raw food can be obtained from a variety of sources:
As of Alpha 15 (August 28st, 2016), there is a message telling you when food has spoiled.
Food will be wasted if left unattended (except for beer) by two factors: exposure and high temperature.
 - Storage in temperature above 0°C will spoil over time as well, though temperatures below 10°C will slow down spoiling. A freezer room can be created by placing at least enough Coolers in proportion to its size, the bigger the storage the more coolers required. In the early game, this can pose a threat if located on warm biomes.
Note that freezing temperatures alone does not prevent deterioration of food. For example: a raider is killed and drops his/her fine meal outdoors. That meal will still decay from exposure.
Once spoiled, food will vanish and can never be recovered. However, food can be eaten at any stage before spoiling with no visible mood effect.

The International Islamic Food Processors Association (IFPA), a subsidiary of the International Organisation for Islamic Food Security (IOFS) established by the founding members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in December 2020, has moved its global headquarters from Astana to Dubai.
Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, inaugurated the office at Al Etihad Museum in the presence of Oussama Abdel Rahman Kaissi, CEO of the Islamic Corporation for Investment and Export Credit Insurance (ICIEC), and other dignitaries on Monday.
Almheiri said cooperation is what "we should work towards to improve our collective food security on sustainable foundations, which will also help address climate change. This can be done through the adoption of innovative technologies and solutions throughout the food value chain."
As part of the UAE's Year of Sustainability, and in view of the COP28 to be held later this year, she said the UAE aims to accelerate work on adopting modern solutions for agriculture and nutrition at the local and global levels.
"Transforming food systems has become self-evident to secure sustainable food supply and fight climate change by reducing emissions from traditional agriculture and food systems. Not only do we play a pivotal role as a regional centre for food trade, but we are committed to strengthening cooperation and capacity building among OIC countries to enhance member states' capacities in food security and climate change."
Despite the fact that more than 25 per cent of the world's consumers come from OIC countries and spend around 15 per cent of the $8 trillion on food in 2021, there is a significant trade deficit in exports as many of them depend on imports from non-OIC countries for staple foods.
The new headquarters is formed under the Dubai Association Centre located at One Central.
Prof. Yerlan A. Baidaulet, Director General of the IOFS and Chairman of IFPA, said: "Dubai being the hub for trade, especially for the food sector, we intend to support the intra-OIC market and address the challenges that exist from the new headquarters. While the Muslim population is growing worldwide, the halal food market globally is still dominated by non-OIC countries. There are several Member States that are experiencing large trade deficits in many staple foods and many that have food shortages."
Saleh Lootah, CEO of IFPA and chairman of the UAE F&B Manufacturing Group, said, "As the world grapples with the challenges of a rapidly changing global food landscape, IFPA's headquarters in the UAE, which is a hub for food security, sends a strong message of solidarity and cooperation.
Under the guidance of IOFS, we will strive to create synergies among the OIC food sector to promote intra-OIC trade to ensure food security for all members and the global community. By pooling resources and expertise, the international community of food producers can realise its full potential and ensure the production and distribution of safe, high-quality halal foods that meet the needs of consumers worldwide."

Is there an easy example of a (closed) hyperbolic 3-manifold that fibers over the circle but contains some totally geodesic surface?
(Of course such manifolds exist if the 'Virtually Fibered Conjecture' were correct, since a geodesic surface lifts to the fibered cover. But is there something more eplicit?)
share|improve this question
Actually, Jorgensen's orginal example of a closed 3-manifold fibering over the circle has a geodesic immersed surface (although this wasn't proven by him). _URL_-getitem?mr=450546 – Ian Agol Sep 9 '10 at 21:03

There are many specific known examples. Here is one construction:
Start with the 3-torus $T^3$, parametrize in the standard way as $R^3/Z^3$. It fibers over the circle in many ways. Let $a$, $b$ and $c$ be three disjoint circles, coming form lines parallel to the x, y and z axes. For most fibrations, these three circles are transverse to the fibers. Form a branched cover of the torus with two-fold branching over all preimages of these 3 circles. The resulting manifold has a hyperbolic structure that can be constructed from right-angled hyperbolic dodecahedra, and is commensurable with the 4-fold branched cover of $S^3$ over the Borromean rings. You can think of it this way: you can take a unit cube as fundamental domain for the torus, and arrange that a, b and c lie on faces of the cube, each bisecting a pari of (glued together) opposite facce. This induces a subdividision of the boundary of the cube into what look like rectangles, but are really pentagons.
The map (x,y,z) -> x+y+z gives a fibration over the torus, also works for any branched cover as described. The preimage of any face of the cube is an extended face plane of a dodecahedron, and is always a totally geodesic immersed surface, but it splits into two embedded surfaces for suitable branched covers of $T^3$ (perhaps the one you first come up with.)
The tiling of hyperbolic space by right-angled dodecahedra has a cameo appearance in the video "Not Knot" we made at the Geometry Center, available together with "Outside In" on DVD from AKPeters. In the 1984 Scientific American Article The Mathematics of three-dimensional manifolds that Jeff Weeks and I wrote, a manifold in this family (constructed from right-angled hyperbolic dodecahedra and having the properties you asked for) was described as the configuration space of a mechanical linkage. I don't think these particular properties were pointed out in Scientific American.
This and other examples that are counterintuitive at first were a good part of my motivation when I raised the question whether all hyperbolic 3-manifolds virtually fiber over the circle, which at the time was a radical idea.

And the right-angled pentagons glue together to give the totally geodesic surface, yes? A question: How much harder is it to describe a cover where some totally geodesic surface is embedded? – Sam Nead Sep 9 '10 at 20:03
Yes on gluing the pentagons. It's not hard to make a cover, I was just trying to keep it shorter. To get an easy-to-describe cover, first pass to the 8-fold cover of the torus that unwraps the torus mod 2. Now the axes each come in quadruplicate, so their sum is trivial in $Z/2$ homology. Choose a surface that they bound (mod 2). It doesn't need to embedded, so just use a union of annuli pairing up parallel axes. Take two copies of this manifold, and cross-connect at the surfaces: think of them as magic portals, so that when you pass through it transports you to an alternate universe. – Bill Thurston Sep 10 '10 at 18:31
I think I see it. I could equip the double cover of the $8$--fold cover with a singular Euclidean metric with $4\pi$ cone locus about the axes. Since "parallel to the $zx$--plane" makes sense, the annuli have to unwrap to give embedded surfaces. Drawing a picture and staring at it convinces me that they are genus two surfaces. – Sam Nead Sep 11 '10 at 10:52
Right. There are choices of which annuli to use in the 8-fold cover which don't change the topology of the branched cover, but do change descriptions of surfaces. Each annulus is intersected by two axes, so there is at least one other annulus cutting through it. You can choose the rest of the annuli to stay away from that one. To form the 2-fold branched cover, the annulus has a single arc in the interior as branch cut. Open the slit, giving a pair of pants; in the branched cover, you have two pairs of pants joined to mke a double-torus. Can you also see the fibers of (x,y,z) -> (x+y+z)? – Bill Thurston Sep 11 '10 at 13:28
I had to draw another picture. The fibre $F$ of the map from $T^3$ to $S^1$ is the hex torus you get by gluing a hexagon and two triangles (these are obtained by connecting the midpoints of the edges of the cube $[0,2]^3$ in the right way). Any cone locus (parallel to an axis) meets $F$ in just one point. So the fibre of the actual map is obtained by taking the double branched cover of $F$ at twelve points. So, a surface of genus seven. I need to think about the monodromy some more. – Sam Nead Sep 12 '10 at 7:49
This example is neither particularly easy nor explicit, but it is at least a definite family of examples.
It follows from a paper of Bergeron--Haglund--Wise and work of Agol that any'standard' arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold virtually fibres. These examples contain lots of totally geodesic surfaces which, as you say, will lift to totally geodesic surfaces in the fibred cover.

Message from the Chair
There is a growing acceptance that solving educational challenges in the country is urgent and requires the concerted efforts of all stakeholders. The second South African Basic Education Conference aims to support and channel joint efforts by providing a platform for dialogue between researchers and practitioners in the education sector and thereby help "Improve education through stakeholder collaboration". The Conference comes at an opportune time as we mark the twentieth anniversary of our democracy. This is a time to reflect on the shortcomings of the past, gains made and lessons learnt. The convergence of ideas will feed into and guide the processes started by the Education Collaboration Framework.
Since 1994 various stakeholders have supported government in its quest to strengthen democracy and contribute to economic growth and development through education - and progress has been made. This includes improvements in schooling infrastructure, increased funding of poorer schools, introduction of Grade R, curriculum improvements, and achieving close to universal access to schooling. Despite these achievements, the education system continues to struggle under the weight of poor performance as is evidenced in national as well as international numeracy and literacy assessments.
Government has acknowledged that the country is experiencing major challenges in education and has put into place a new vision and plan through the National Development Plan and the Department of Basic Educationís Action Plan 2014. The National Development Plan has reiterated the governmentís position of declaring education a societal issue and has called for a multi-stakeholder partnership to address education challenges. This call for collaboration is being realised through the establishment of the Education Collaboration Framework (ECF) which provides a platform for greater collaboration in the sector, increased dialogue, a consolidation of financial and intellectual resources and a coordinated roll out of solutions.
It is against this backdrop that the second South African Basic Education Conference hopes to play a supporting role in focusing and channelling stakeholder collaboration, knowledge-sharing and innovation on the six key areas outlined by the ECF, namely:
- The Professionalization of the teaching service
- A call for effective and courageous leadership
- Improving government capacity to deliver
- Improving resourcing in order to create conducive and safe learning environment: teachers,books and infrastructure
- Community and parent involvement
- Learner support and wellbeing
We urge all our educational colleagues to seize all opportunities and fully exploit platforms for dissemination, engagement and sharing. It is through working collaboratively that we can eliminate duplication and fragmentation in the sector and maximise returns from our collective contributions towards improving the quality of our education system.
Over 340 papers and more than 650 delegates at the 2012 SA Basic Education Conference...
The 2012 SA Basic Education Conference (SABEC) held in Durban over 2-4 April 2012, brought over 650 teachers, principals, academics, NGOs and government delegates together to discuss the state of basic education in South Africa. The purpose of SABEC was to provide a platform where academics and practitioners could share their experiences, stimulate debate, collaborate on solutions and identify best practices that will contribute to quality basic education for all.
The number and quality of submissions made to present at the conference (~340) highlighted the phenomenal initiatives underway that are achieving significant positive impact.
The importance of collaboration and sharing of resources and knowledge was emphasised throughout the conference proceedings and was tracked by SABEC as one of its key targeted outcomes. In the conference evaluation, 96% of delegates reported that SABEC helped them develop partnerships and 93% reported that they are likely to implement one or more of the innovations learned from SABEC in their work.

Update: Father in custody following 1-month-old hospitalized after being given bottle of vodka
A one and half-month-old Kenosha baby is being treated at a local hospital after being given a bottle filled with vodka. Police said the baby was admitted to the intensive care unit with a blood alcohol level of.294. According to a BAC chart for adults, at.25 and over all mental, physical and sensory functions are severely impaired and there is an increased risk of asphyxiation from choking on vomit. A lethal dose of alcohol for adults is considered between.40 and.50 percent.
The mother put a water bottle on the counter to be mixed with formula. The mother left the room and the child's father emptied the bottle and filled it with vodka intending to take it to a friend's house. The child's mother prepared the formula using the liquid from the bottle. After a while, the child's parents noticed that the child was not behaving normally.
The parents argued about whose fault it was their child was given vodka.
The infant's father was arrested following an argument that began following the incident. The father choked the child's mother, battered another family member, and resisted Police Officers as they attempted to place him under arrest.
Brian Smith, the father, was arrested for strangulation, 2 counts of Battery Domestic Abuse, 1 count of Resisting Arrest and 1 count of Disorderly Conduct.
The family said once the father found out the baby was fed a bottle of vodka instead of formula, he got into a big fight with his girlfriend that led to domestic violence.
\"He's going to drink some liquor he was getting ready go outside to put in a water bottle and then mom use the water bottle and poured it in the formula by mistake it was a big mistake,\" said Allen Jones, the grandfather.
Now charged with five counts including battery and strangulation, smiths father stands by his son.
Police say the baby is doing better and is being released from the hospital today.
