COLUMBUS — Ever spent hours while doing research wading through reels and reels of microfilm looking for information from old Ohio newspapers? Thanks to the Ohio Historical Society those days are numbered now that the Mount Vernon Democratic Banner is among the first historic Ohio newspapers to be digitized and uploaded to the Library of Congress' Chronicling America Web site at _URL_
The Ohio Newspaper Digitization Project, a part of the National Digital Newspaper Program developed by National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress, will enable the Ohio Historical Society to digitize 100,000 Ohio newspaper pages from _PHONE_. The statewide project will result in historic newspapers from all regions of the state being reformatted for the sake of preservation and accessibility to a wider audience.
"The Ohio Digital Newspaper Program opens up access to a wealth of information in Ohio's historic newspapers. It is truly invaluable to be able to search and read these newspapers online from anywhere at any time, and a tremendous benefit to not only the people of Ohio, but the nation as a whole," said Susan Allen, director of technology services at the Worthington Library in Columbus. "The Democratic Banner reflects the political, social, economic and cultural diversity of the central Ohio region during the first quarter of the 20th century. Students of all ages, genealogists, historians, teachers and everyday citizens interested in learning about the history of their community and the state of Ohio will find this to be a great resource."
Established in April 1838 by Chauncey Bassett and Joel Robb, the Mount Vernon Democratic Banner changed ownership and editorship nine times until it was finally purchased by Lecky Harper in December 1853. Under Harper's 64-year editorship, the Democratic Banner flourished, with increased subscriptions and a distinctive point of view. Harper was a Peace Democrat with a national reputation for being strongly critical of big government, child labor, Whigs and the Civil War. He was also a strong defender of foreigners, having emigrated from Ireland when he was five. Harper often used editorials to criticize the Ohio State Times and the Mount Vernon Republican.
After Harper's death in 1895, his sons, Frank and William, took over the weekly paper. The strong political viewpoint and sensational headlines continued, with a focus on national political news. Readers were kept informed about laws, taxes and politicians. Many articles also related incidents of crime, death, and injury. Yet local news was not forgotten, and several sections of the Democratic Banner, including one titled "County Correspondence," were devoted to local affairs and gossip.
Under subsequent editorship, starting in 1917 when Frank Harper began to lease the paper to Stephen J. Dorgan, the Democratic Banner became more conservative, although it was still considered progressive. National and international news items, especially those relating to World War I, filled the front page of each edition, but overall, the newspaper focused more on local developments. Dorgan included cartoons and sports news in the paper as well. In 1935, the newspaper was sold to the Republican News to form the Republican News Daily Banner, which later changed its name to the Mount Vernon News.
The Ohio Historical Society's Archives/Library at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus contains the largest collection of Ohio newspapers in existence. The newspaper holdings contain: newspapers published from _PHONE_; 4,500 titles, 20,000 volumes; and nearly 48,000 rolls of microfilm of Ohio titles
Much of the microfilm in the society's newspaper collection was created in 1971 as part of a National Endowment for the Humanities initiative called the United States Newspaper Program. Since then, the information published in the thousands of deteriorating wood-pulp newspaper volumes in the society's collections has been transferred to more than 16,000 rolls of master negative microfilm. The Ohio Newspaper Digitization Project builds upon this earlier effort.
"Thanks to a $353,069 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities last year, the Ohio Historical Society has been able to digitize a select number of historically significant Ohio newspapers," said Sharon Dean, OHS director of collections.
According to Dean, the initial project was limited to a small number of newspapers published from _PHONE_, so an advisory group of journalists, historians, educators, scholars, librarians and archivists selected runs from 13 titles to be digitized. The newspapers eventually will be uploaded to the Chronicling America Web site over the next year.
The 13 selected publications include: Perrysburg Journal, in Perrysburg, from 1880 to 1920; Marion Daily Mirror, in Marion, from 1907 to 1912; Marion Democratic Mirror, also in Marion, from 1880 to 1906; Akron Daily Democrat, in Akron from 1899 to 1902; Stark County Democrat, in Canton, from 1891 to 1910; Knox County Democratic Banner, in Mount Vernon, from 1910 to 1922; Springfield Republic, in Springfield, from 1885 to 1888; Hillsboro News-Herald, in Hillsboro, from 1886 to 1914; Hocking Sentinel, in Logan, from 1886 to 1906; Ohio Democrat, in Logan, from 1886 to 1906, and also the Ohio Democrat-Sentinel from 1906 to 1909; Marietta Leader, in Marietta, from 1896 to 1901; and the Mahoning Dispatch, in Canfield, from 1877 to 1968.
In addition to the Library of Congress site, researchers also will be able to access the newspapers at _URL_. For more information about the Ohio Newspaper Digitization Project, contact Eric W. Schnittke at _PHONE_ or.

Calculating distance in C# (with SqlServer.Types)
WiredPrairie's post on Calculating the distance between two Zip Codes in C# starts with the line
Unfortunately, there are many classes built into the .NET framework, but a zip code distance calculator isn't included.
which is true -- however with the release of SQL Server 2008 Microsoft has made available the redistributable Microsoft.SqlServer.Types assembly that contains the SqlGeography and SqlGeometry types. Within SQL Server 2008 this enables the new geospatial functions, but these types can also be used in C#. I thought I'd add the SQL Server types to his example, just for fun...
I've modified WiredPrairie's code to use Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.SqlGeography in place of manually calculating Radians and using the Haversine formula... only a few minor changes were required (view source):
0. Reference Microsoft.SqlServer.Types assembly
1. Replace the Distance() method completely
I haven't implemented miles here - just kilometres
The important bits being:
string lineString = String.Format("LINESTRING({0} {1}, {2} {3})"
, compare.Longitude, compare.Latitude
, this.Longitude, this.Latitude);
var g = Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.SqlGeography.STGeomFromText(
new System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlChars(new System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlString(
lineString
))
, 4326); // IMPORTANT for distance calc
geoDistance = Convert.ToDouble(g.STLength().ToString()) / 1000; // to kilometers
2. Remove the conversion to Radians
The SqlGeography type uses Latitude and Longitude in degrees.
3. Minor text changes (miles to kilometres)
4. and finally, change the input from '25 miles' to '40 kilometres'
Here is a comparison of the results -- there appears to minor differences in the calculation results - I assume due to rounding...
Of course, WiredPrairie's solution would run anywhere (including Silverlight) whereas adding a dependency to Microsoft.SqlServer.Types means you can only use this code where the SqlServer Types redistributable has been installed. It's still interesting to see the additional features provided by SQL Server 2008 - I hope some spatial types (without the SQL dependency) make their way into a future core .NET Framework release (and Silverlight 3.0??).

Tedeschina Tower
Tedeschina Tower
This element belongs to the categories: Garrison defence, Towers
Remaining part of a 14th century defensive tower.
Tedeschina Tower
The Tedeschina Tower is located on the western side of the Castello district.
Built in the early 14th century, it was named after a group of German mercenaries that lived in the ancient stronghold of Castel di Castro.
Restored in 1376 after the siege of Marianus IV of Arborea, during the sixteenth century it was incorporated by Rocco Cappellino in the Concezione bastion. During these works, the tower, which originally was between 10 and 12 meters high, was lowered.
The bricks testify to the restoration works that took place over the centuries.

LAKEPORT -- Lake County residents learned firsthand about the ecology of the Clear Lake hitch, a native fish, and the petition to list the fish as an endangered species at a workshop on Monday evening.
The workshop was sponsored jointly by the Chi Council and the Lake County Fish and Wildlife Advisory Committee, The workshop, which was held in the Board of Supervisors Chambers in the courthouse in Lakeport, drew a full house with many of those in attendance wanting to know the current status of the hitch and the process the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service uses list them as endangered.
The Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition to list the Clear Lake hitch as endangered species on Sept. 25. The reason given was that surveys taken during the spawning runs have shown a dramatic decline in the number of fish migrating up the streams that flow into Clear Lake. John Ambrose, a fish and wildlife biologist and expert on endangered species, explained to the audience how the Endangered Species Act (ESA) works. He said that any group or individual can petition the FWS to place a species on the endangered list. The FWS has 90 days make an initial finding on the merits of the petition and whether the submission warrants a full status review. If the FWS decides that a species should be investigated the agency then has one year to determine if the listing is justified.
It can actually take longer than a year. Once a species is formally declared endangered
Greg Giusti of the University of California system gave a presentation on the ecology of the hitch. He said there are far fewer hitch today than there were 20 years ago. Giusti said there are a number of factors for the decline of the hitch and that they range from less plankton food for the hitch, poor spawning conditions to predation by other fish and birds.
The hitch is a member of the minnow family and has been in Clear Lake for thousands of years. They spawn in streams such as Kelsey Creek, Adobe Creek and other creeks that flow into the lake. At one time they numbered in the tens of thousands and were a valuable food supply for the local Indians. According to experts, the hitch population has been in a steady decline for more than 20 years.
The local Indian tribes have been doing hitch surveys and tagging in the spawning streams using FWS grant money. Their surveys also show the hitch numbers to be in a steady decline.

DIY Touchscreen Gloves
If you or someone you know has wanted a pair of those slick gloves to use on touchscreen phones and tablets, stop looking. The good people at Popular Science recently published a do-it-yourself method of turning gloves into gadget gloves. OK, so it may be more fun to buy a pair and gift them. But if you are watching your budget – or want a pair yourself – take a look at these instructions, as republished from Popular Science.
1. Order silver-plated nylon thread (silver conducts electricity). This can be difficult to find in stores, but major online retailers carry it.
2. Pick a pair of gloves to modify. Although leather works, it's harder to push a needle through.
3. Stitch the figure of a star or other solid shape onto the glove's index finger with the thread, making sure it will contact both the touchscreen and your skin.
4. Bundle up and tap away.

A consistent direct-iterative inverse design method for the Euler equations
Brock, Jerry S.
MetadataShow full item record
A new, consistent direct-iterative method is proposed for the solution of the aerodynamic inverse design problem. Direct-iterative methods couple analysis and shape modification methods to iteratively determine the geometry required to support a target surface pressure. The proposed method includes a consistent shape modification method wherein the identical governing equations are used in both portions of the design procedure. The new shape modification method is simple, having been developed from a truncated, quasi-analytical Taylor's series expansion of the global governing equations. This method includes a unique solution algorithm and a design tangency boundary condition which directly relates the target pressure to shape modification. The new design method was evaluated with an upwind, cell-centered finite-volume formulation of the two-dimensional Euler equations. Controlled inverse design tests were conducted with a symmetric channel where the initial and target geometries were known. The geometric design variable was a channel-wall ramp angle, 0, which is nominally five degrees. Target geometries were defined with ramp angle perturbations of J10 = 2 %, 10%, and 20 %. The new design method was demonstrated to accurately predict the target geometries for subsonic, transonic, and supersonic test cases; M=0.30, 0.85, and 2.00. The supersonic test case efficiently solved the design tests and required very few iterations. A stable and convergent solution process was also demonstrated for the lower speed test cases using an under-relaxed geometry update procedure. The development and demonstration of the consistent direct-iterative method herein represent the important first steps required for a new research area for the advancement of aerodynamic inverse design methods.

Encryption by Heart (EbH)-Using ECG for time-invariant symmetric key generation Articles
- December 2017
Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
International Standard Serial Number (ISSN)
Electronic International Standard Serial Number (EISSN)
- Wearable devices are a part of Internet-of-Things (IoT) that may offer valuable data of their porting user. This paper explores the use of ElectroCardioGram (ECG) records to encrypt user data. Previous attempts have shown that ECG can be taken as a basis for key generation. However, these approaches do not consider time-invariant keys. This feature enables using these so-created keys for symmetrically encrypting data (e.g. smartphone pictures), enabling their decryption using the key derived from the current ECG readings. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing EbH, a mechanism for persistent key generation based on ECG. EbH produces seeds from which encryption keys are generated. Experimental results over 24 h for 199 users show that EbH, under certain settings, can produce permanent seeds (thus time-invariant keys) computed on-the-fly and different for each user up to 95.97% of users produce unique keys. In addition, EbH can be tuned to produce seeds of different length (up to 300 bits) and with variable min-entropy (up to 93.51). All this supports the workability of EbH in a real setting.

The problems of the essence of law determined by the globalization process are analyzed in this article. The author puts a hypothesis that present globalization processes determine changes in the essence and content of law as well as it's features. That determines the futurology problems in law, when the law appears as one of the elements of a certain world model. The author analyses the main theories of the essence of law (law as a measure of justice, freedom etc.) and moreover the main law interpretation concepts (philosophic, normative, sociological, law as integrity), the main conclusion is they are interconnected as every project emphasizes only a one side of the law being. The hypothesis is checked by the analysis of the widely used law features and law conceptions and it's critique from the point of contemporary globalization processes. It affords to make a conclusion that some features change it's content but law saves its essence as a method of the most significant social relations regulation thus ignoring changing of law values.

 Highlights: • Quantifying turbulent jet diffusion flame length with cross flows. • Unique data revealed for a sub-atmospheric pressure. • Non-dimensional global correlation proposed for flame trajectory-line length. - Abstract: This paper investigates the evolution characteristics of turbulent jet diffusion flame (flame trajectory-line length, flame height in vertical jet direction) with increasing cross flows in a sub-pressure (64 kPa) atmosphere. The combined effect of cross flow and a special sub-pressure atmosphere condition is revealed, where no data is available in the literatures. Experiments are carried out with a wind tunnel built specially in Lhasa city (altitude: 3650 m; pressure: 64 kPa) and in Hefei city (altitude: 50 m; pressure: 100 kPa), using nozzles with diameter of 3 mm, 4 mm and 5 mm and propane as fuel. It is found that, as cross flow air speed increases from zero, the flame trajectory-line length firstly decreases and then becomes almost stable (for relative small nozzle, 3 mm in this study) or increases (for relative large nozzle, 4 mm and 5 mm in this study) beyond a transitional critical cross flow air speed in normal pressure, however decreases monotonically until being blown-out in the sub-pressure atmosphere. The flame height in jet direction decreases monotonically with cross air flow speed and then reaches a steady value in both pressures. For the transitional state of flame trajectory-line length with increasing cross air flow speed, the corresponding critical cross flow air speed is found to be proportional to the fuel jet velocity, meanwhile independent of nozzle diameter. Correlation models are proposed for the flame height in jet direction and the flame trajectory-line length for both ambient pressures, which are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental results.

 The influence of Soret diffusion on lean premixed flames propagating in hydrogen/air mixtures is numerically investigated with a detailed chemical and transport models at normal and elevated pressure and temperature. The Soret diffusion influence on the one-dimensional (1D) flame mass burning rate and two-dimensional (2D) flame propagating characteristics is analysed, revealing a strong dependency on flame stretch rate, pressure and temperature. For 1D flames, at normal pressure and temperature, with an increase of Karlovitz number from 0 to 0.4, the mass burning rate is first reduced and then enhanced by Soret diffusion of H2 while it is reduced by Soret diffusion of H. The influence of Soret diffusion of H2 is enhanced by pressure and reduced by temperature. On the contrary, the influence of Soret diffusion of H is reduced by pressure and enhanced by temperature. For 2D flames, at normal pressure and temperature, during the early phase of flame evolution, flames with Soret diffusion display more curved flame cells. Pressure enhances this effect, while temperature reduces it. The influence of Soret diffusion of H2 on the global consumption speed is enhanced at elevated pressure. The influence of Soret diffusion of H on the global consumption speed is enhanced at elevated temperature. The flame evolution is more affected by Soret diffusion in the early phase of propagation than in the long run due to the local enrichment of H2 caused by flame curvature effects. The present study provides new insights into the Soret diffusion effect on the characteristics of lean hydrogen/air flames at conditions that are relevant to practical applications, e.g. gas engines and turbines.

 Soot particles are produced during the high temperature pyrolysis or combustion of hydrocarbons. The emission of soot from a combustor, or from a flame, is determined by the competition between soot formation and its oxidation. Several factors affect these processes, including the type of fuel, the air-to-fuel ratio, flame temperature, pressure, and flow pattern.

 - DSN (Data Source Name)
 A DSN (Data Source Name) is an identifier that is used to store information relating to a database connection. DSNs can store a database's name and server location, the directory that is used to store offline content, the database driver, and the user's ID and password. DSNs can be used for a wide variety of database applications, such as SQL databases and FTP connections.
 How DSN Works
 A DSN is simply a file that contains all information regarding a particular database. DSNs allow the user to quickly connect to a specific database without having to re-enter its information every time. Like a Notepad document, a DSN stores text-based information, but is also able to automatically fill in the database's information when the user launches an appropriate database client. While DSNs are usually stored in the Windows Registry, they can also be stored in configurations files belonging to a specific database client that ends in a ".dsn" extension.
 DSNs have a wide variety of applications and can be used on both server-side and client-side programs, but are most often used for the latter. In addition to the user's information and database's location, a DSN can also store information relating the database's permissions and may allow the user to change the database's permissions by being integrated with the user's database client. Likewise, the user may be able to change information in a DSN by changing the appropriate factors in the database client.

If you have any problems setting this up, please send a message.
CommitCheck supports any ruby regular expression. I recommend Rubular for testing a regex. Here are some examples:
JIRA ticket number regex
\[[A-Z]{3}-\d*\] will match on a JIRA number of the format "ABC-123".
Multiline commit messages
(?=.*Jira Ticket number: )(?=.*What does this address\?)(?=.*What was the solution\?) will match the following commit message:
"Jira Ticket number: RSB-111
What does this address? A new feature.
What was the solution? Some awesome code."
Check Status
CommitCheck can run against commit messages, PR titles or PR descriptions. This section explains how build results are displayed.
Regardless of how you've configured CommitCheck, PRs get marked as pass/fail on the following events:
 - Opening a PR
 - Pushing a commit or rebase
 - Updating a PR description or title
If the check is successful, CommitCheck will mark your commit as passed:
Commitcheck commit message success check
If the check is unsuccessful, CommitCheck will mark your commit as failed:
Commitcheck commit message failed check
Next, we'll cover how CommitCheck determines and displays the status for different configurations:
Against Commit Messages
CommitCheck will look at each commit in your PR and check each of them against your regex. If any of the commits fail to match the regex then CommitCheck will fail the PR.
You can click on the details page to get a breakdown of each commit. The details page lists each commit and whether it passed or failed the regex:
Commitcheck status page
Against The Pull Request Title
The status page for pull request title checks has not been built. Right now, it will just redirect to
Against The Pull Request Description
The status page for pull request description checks has not been built. Right now, it will just redirect to
Anything Else..
If you would like to request any other regex examples or suggest any features,
please send a message.

Most scientific data analyses comprise analyzing voluminous data collected from various instruments. Efficient parallel/concurrent algorithms and frameworks are the key to meeting the scalability and performance requirements entailed in such scientific data analyses. The recently introduced MapReduce technique has gained a lot of attention from the scientific community for its applicability in large parallel data analyses. Although there are many evaluations of the MapReduce technique using large textual data collections, there have been only a few evaluations for scientific data analyses. The goals of this paper are twofold. First, we present our experience in applying the MapReduce technique for two scientific data analyses: (i) High Energy Physics data analyses; (ii) Kmeans clustering. Second, we present CGL-MapReduce, a stream based MapReduce implementation and compare its performance with Hadoop.
The paper accepted for the eScience 2008.

Tornadoes in May, 2000
The Tornado History Project generates approximate paths through separate historical archives provided by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) and the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Paths generated from the NCDC data are typically more detailed, but neither archive gives exact path information. There are several reasons that paths may be inaccurate:
- Tornado touchdown and liftoff coordinates were recorded with only 2 digits of decimal precision (i.e. [33.72, -86.15] vs [33.71689, -86.15463]). As a consequence, the observed points on the map may be slightly off from actual. Note that beginning in 2009, up to 4 digits of decimal precision are given.
- Coordinates have not historically been calculated via GPS (Global Positioning System). Thus, tornado touchdown and liftoff coordinates should be considered as estimates only.
- Tornadoes may not have been in contact with the ground for the entire path as depicted on the map. Storm damage in any location depicted under the "path" should not be inferred.
- Although paths are drawn as straight lines between any two sets of coordinates, the tornado may have "zigzagged" in some way.
- Although paths are drawn as uniform thin lines on the map, it is likely that the tornado changed size over its lifetime. Damage in any location depicted under (or not under) the "path" should not be inferred.
Even with the above in mind, the data is the best available. If you see a path that is depicted incorrectly, please post a comment in the tornado forum indicating why you belive the path to be incorrect.
Paths generated from NCDC data are typically more detailed due to the way coordinates are listed in each archive:
- SPC database - A maximum of 2 coordinates (touchdown and liftoff) is given for each tornado, or each state segment of a tornado if it is a multi-state tornado. Thus the vast majority of paths are depicted as simple straight lines.
- NCDC database - Some tornadoes have mutliple sets of coordinates within any state, generally corresponding to entry and exit points by county. Thus, since more coordinates have been used to draw the path, the depicted path should be more accurate. Having said that, most tornadoes do not have additional path data in the NCDC archive. When they do, paths are drawn from the NCDC data.
The following statistics and definitions are derived from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) historical tornado archive. The Tornado History Project can
not guarantee the accuracy of the underlying data within the SPC historical tornado archive. However, the data as presented here is guaranteed to
match the SPC data, except where noted.
Some definitions will not be given since they are obvious (i.e. "Date", "Time", etc...)
Special Note: This site uses a unique index number to identify each tornado. This index number is not a part of the official historical tornado archive.
E (Error) (tornado search table only) - A yellow box indicates that the tornado record contains a suspected error. A red box indicates that the tornado record contains an error and has been modified from the official source. Hover over the box for the error text.
Map/Forum (tornado search table only) - Clickable icons for further content related to a tornado.
State - The state or states affected by a tornado.
Fujita - The Fujita scale is an attempt to classify damage from a tornado. F0 being the least damaging, F5 the most. For 2007 and beyond, the Enhanced Fujita (EF) is given.
Fat. - The number of fatalities attributed to the tornado.
Inj. - The number of injuries attributed to the tornado.
Width - Width in yards. It is unclear if this indicates a maximum width or mean width.
Length - Length of tornado path in miles. Note the entire track length is not necessarily all on the ground (some tornadoes "hop and skip".)
Damage - Prior to 1996, this is a range by dollar amount. For 1996 and later, actual damage estimates are in millions.
Crop Loss - Added in 2007. Given in millions of dollars.
Lat/Lon - Contains two sets of coordinates:
- Touchdown Latitude/Longitude - For single state tornadoes, and the overall record for multi-state tornadoes, the approximate touchdown location in
decimal degrees. For the state specific records of multi-state tornadoes, entry point into the state in decimal degrees.
- Liftoff Latitude/Longitude - For single state tornadoes, and the overall record for multi-state tornadoes, the approximate liftoff location in
decimal degrees. For the state specific records of multi-state tornadoes, the exit or lift-off point from the state in decimal degrees.
St. #. - The state tornado number assigned to the tornado for that specific state for that specific year. Generally, state tornado
numbers were assigned in the order the tornado occurred, but that is not always the case.
SPC # - The tornado number as assigned by the SPC. Tornado numbers are not unique and reset each year. Generally, tornado numbers were assigned in the order the tornado occurred, but that is not always the case.


Woodland Landscape
Visitors to the National Memorial Arboretum can see and learn about a wide variety of trees. Although still a 'young' Arboretum, there are already about 30,000 trees in the grounds which are growing rapidly into a unique living tribute.
Both British native species and specimen trees can be found amongst our 30,000 plus trees within the Arboretum. In specific areas of our site, trees from temperate regions from around the world can be found; for instance, in our Far East area you will find examples of dogwood and tulip trees, whilst in our Mediterranean Campaigns area you will discover cork oaks and black pines.
Dawn Redwoods can be found behind the British Korean Veterans memorial. These magnificent trees, identified as a 'living fossil' in 1941, once blanketed the entire Northern Hemisphere and were thought to be extinct by Western botanists until their rediscovery in 1941 in the Szechuan Province of China.
Our police tribute 'The Beat' is an avenue of London plane trees and some Horse Chestnuts, funded by every Police Force in the UK. Chestnuts were chosen because the first truncheons were made from this extremely durable wood.
Many of our trees have been dedicated to an individual and specific woodlands exist in memory of the Merchant Navy, victims of road accidents and for children remembered by parents and family.
Our trees are planted to enhance the symbolism found across the Arboretum. Everything is planned and considered and these living memorials create a tranquillity and sense of peace across the 150-acre site.


text: Image compression and Image processing are the two aspects that affect image specific e-learning environment. In this regard, there are various methods proposed to process and compress the image effectively. Recent works mainly concentrate on finding the memory complexity and processing complexity of various techniques. According to that, block truncation models are widely applied over various e-learning fields. Block Truncation Model (BTM) considers the images as a collection of individual blocks to be processed. These blocks are extracted and evaluated for image compression. To compress the images, the least important blocks need to be ignored or suppressed. At this stage, standard BTC, Absolute Moment BTC (AMBTC), Machine Learning (ML) based BTC and Deep Learning (DL) based BTC techniques have emerged from various resources. This work is analyzing various BTC models in terms of time efficiency, memory efficiency and computation efficiency. The results shown in this work reveal the detailed comparisons of e-learning based block truncation models.

Numismatics is history and few collecting genres embrace this more than shipwreck coins. Canada far exceeds any other nation in the world with over 200,000 kms of coastline, so it stands to reason that we'd be front and centre when it comes to wreck discoveries, especially ones transporting quantities of coins. At the Geoffrey Bell Auctions Ltd. Toronto Coin Expo 2018 Spring Sale two important ships sunk of the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia will be represented.
The HMS Feversham was a 32 gun British warship launched in 1696. The ship's design was ideal for colonial coastlines, but in 1711 it joined three supply ships off Cape Breton to ready for an attack on Quebec, encountered a gale and went too close to Scatarie Island where the ships sank. 100 of the Feversham's crew perished and 49 survived.
The coins recovered from the Feversham in 1986 make up a rare and historically important snapshot as to what circulating coinage of the time looked like because they were intended pay for supplies and wages.
Being auctioned in the Spring Sale is a Potosi, assayer V, waves/pillar type 8 real cob, 1683, double date weighing 22.9 grams. It possesses a nice, fine obverse and is ex: Nadin Davis International.
In 1761, the Auguste, a former French privateer ship, sank off the coast of Nova Scotia after fighting a losing battle with a winter storm. The ship was transporting French aristocrats and officers exiled from their Canadian homes after the Seven Years War between France and Britain. Only 7 of the 121 aboard L'Auguste made it to shore alive.
The coins recovered from this wreck were the life savings of the exiles being transported to France and were diverse, high quality coins saved over many years. The lot available in Toronto consists of a nice 1735A French ecu, also ex: Nadin Davis International.
The Toronto Coin Expo 2018 Spring Sale, which takes place May 3rd and 4th, 2018, is shaping up to be a memorable auction, featuring exceptional quality material for every collecting field.

Seven Things About Everything
Essay By: frog
Religion and spirituality
It may be controversial to explain Everything.
Submitted:Oct 11, 2009 Reads: 185 Comments: 0 Likes: 1
In the infinite space which everything is included, there are seven truths. Everything is cyclical, has equilibrium, can be broken down, is connected, is hypocritical, has the capability to go on forever, and comes to an end. Using various life like examples, we can find out the seven things in which drive people, plants and animals, the things the living create, and the space in which is inhabited by them.
Everything is cyclical. The easiest definition to a cycle is anything that repeats itself. The cyclical nature of the earth's rotation is true in people themselves. The earth goes round and so do humans. Where there is the happiness and joy of life there is the sadness and sorrow of death. A child is born an old man dies. A tree grows and it gets struck down by lightning. An idea emerges and it gets lost within the realms of history. The cycle of rain, seasons, and time are all included. What is true of physics and science and earth itself is also true for John, our imaginary example man.
There are two types of cycles. The first are good cycles which can be defined as any cycle that leads to receiving any necessity of life or seen as positively affecting life. The necessities of life are food, water, shelter, and love. (Love meaning sex and the continuance of the precious gift of life.) There are also bad cycles and these can be defined as any cycle that impedes one from receiving any necessity of life or seen as negatively affecting life.
John was caught up in many cycles that benefited his life and the lives of many others. He was involved in academics and his academic success gained him money which in turn allowed him to buy food, water, and shelter. John studied for school, went home practiced piano, helped his mother with chores, and then went to bed. He woke up the next morning and repeated the same process. These were all cycles that were seen as good and benefited John. When John grew older he found himself doing the same things but instead of school he found himself going to work, getting paid, buying food, and going to bed.
There are thousands of good cycles all of us find ourselves doing. Some examples include; showering, working, singing, dancing, exercising, volunteering, going to church, watching television etc. Now many would question that if John had watched television all his life he would be a nobody, but we must remember that the definition states what is seen to benefit life and leads to the gaining of one of the necessities of life is what defines a good cycle. John's balance of time is what would make him a success and this balance is what we will discuss after we touch on bad cycles.
John may seem so far to be free of bad cycles but there are some poor cycles that he participated in. When he turned eighteen he became very distressed because it was his senior year and decided that it was ok for him to smoke. What John failed to realize was that smoking was a cycle that would not benefit his life because he would soon find out that his "game" was no good anymore. John decided to quit his habit of smoking and he found himself in a worse situation than just not trying to smoke in the first place. He became easily angered and was short tempered after deciding to quit. John also became depressed after quitting smoking. He lost interest in many things and found himself not enjoying many activities he use to. He quit piano, quit sports, and became a couch potato watching T.V. day after day. These ongoing behaviors of doing what society calls nothing are called bad cycles because they cause misery for John and everyone around him.
Many people find themselves participating in bad cycles or non cycles. Some examples of bad cycles include; smoking, drinking, binging, purging, gambling, not practicing, not showering, quitting, prostitution, excessive porn, etc. Keep in mind the definition of bad cycles they are what impedes one from receiving a necessity of life and is seen as negatively affecting one's life. Some may question why quitting is a bad cycle, but remember it is only referring to quitting good cycles. Next we will discuss the fact that the earth is in a natural equilibrium.
I lied we are going to keep you in suspense until the next paragraph to discuss equilibrium. I also lied because there is a third controversial cycle. If numbers truly go on forever it is very possible that not only cycles go on forever but they are only a part of something much larger. For example if we look at time fragments we have seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, months, seasons, years, decades, eons, and so forth. Those periods must get smaller and larger forever if we look mathematically at them. There is the cycle that is called the accumulative which is referring to any cycle that starts out small and gets larger. A good example yet a tongue biter is evolution. Another example would be the capacity to get smarter and smarter over time but we know that sooner or later those other cycles will bring that capability to an end. We call that old age. Another improvable theory would suggest that our lives are only part of something much larger just like red blood cells are making us live there is a possibility that there is something studying us discussing what it is our purpose is. This section will make more sense once we continue on with equilibrium and the other facts to life.
We are always in search of the right balance, we don't want too much and we definitely will not settle for less. The earth needs good just as well as evil because what a boring life it would be for everyone without bad. There would be no heroes, no Nobel Peace winners, no need to get off our ass to do something because everything would be good just as is. I couldn't imagine a world without good either. Life and death fall in this category of equilibrium because without one there isn't the other. There is a female and male to create life without man or woman neither would exist. Even our biological bodies follow this rule and we call it homeostasis. What is true for the world is true for John.
What occurred to John after quitting was a physics term called equilibrium. What is true in physics is true with John. John deciding to quit a bad habit led to the effect of being ill tempered. It is true that it takes two negatives to create a positive. Because John did decide to quit(bad) something bad(bad), the two bads created good. Some may ask what about killing someone bad? Because we are dealing with life and death which is a natural cycle killing is always bad. It would be like trying to stop water from flowing downhill, possible yet stupid.
Each action has an equal and opposite reaction. There are many examples that we have hidden through our words. Stress is a label we put on uncomfortable living in everyday life. In health class we are taught to get rid of that stress by journaling, screaming in a pillow, and in anyway venting. Another example is what we find if we as humans move to space. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. We move to space which is good because we save the planet we are on from overcrowding. The negative is obviously unknown, but could include littering space with random metal objects from space shuttles. Beginning wars in space could be a problem. The cost of living in space and those who die figuring out how to live in space could be a few of many other problems to match with the good effects of living in space. A better example would be here from earth. Why were older siblings and adults able to get away with more in their age time? John's parents were able to get away with more mischievous behavior than John was ever to get away with. John found it hard to vent growing up. This is because John had to work less than his parents. His parents mowed the lawn with a push while John always got to use a rider so therefore the bad things he is able to do are less because he has spent less time doing good. Those who spend more time doing good spend more time doing badly in a sense.
What about relationships some may ask. Ah yes, the chemistry between people must follow the rules just as everything else. She or he must complete me. Personality plays a great role in relationships. If you have two people with the same personality they will have the same interests but will not make the best companions for each other. The magnet example opposites attract and similarities repel sums it up well. In our world putting two people who are exactly alike together for a long period of time is going to cause problems. If you were to compare a parent who had a major problem with a specific child to the child, their personalities would show up as the same. "We don't want them to make the same mistakes as we did" "you're acting just like your mother". Women complete men as men complete women and their personalities in the cases of failed marriages will be similar and vice versa.
What about John and Sabrina? John and Sabrina should by all means get a divorce if their personalities are too much alike. They are friends who met and just had many of the same interests. They like to volunteer, they both have happy personalities, they are very generous, and by all means that relationship really ends in a disastrous divorce because the divorce (negative) needs to match there successes in the past. Only after messy kid dividing divorce can John and Sabrina make a realistic life. No one has a perfect life.
Equilibrium has been present in the description of

IntroductionThis feature allows organization administrator to configure a check to prevent duplicates. For example, in an event registration workflow, the administrator can configure the system to accept only one application per email address.
How to design
Define Document Key
The first step to set up the unique document check is defining the unique document key. This key usually contains placeholders which can be replaced by the system values or field values entered on the form.
In the example above, we will set up our document key as in below in VARIANT tab:
The expression above contains the workflow ID, the document owner id (the end-user who creates the document), and the email address entered on the form. This expression will ensure that only one email address can be used for submitting a registration application.
Specify the action to enforce the unique document check
The company administrator needs to indicate which action the unique document check rule should be enforced. In the event registration example above, we would like the system to prevent duplicates only when the user is submitting or resubmitting an application.
To do so, the company administrator can select "Check for unique document key" option as in the demonstration below:

I recently did a CS3 SmartTalks webinar on HR Actions and it made me take a step back and think about a lot of things. Most of all: why would I use HR Actions instead of paper forms? Here are my top reasons for using HR Actions instead of a paper form:
- On a paper form the person filling it out can just skip fields that might be really important. HR Actions allows you to mark the required fields that you want the form user to populate.
- On a paper form the person that fills it out can just put anything in the boxes. HR Actions give the form user a customized drop down list of items for them to select from.
- On a paper form if the person filling it out has questions about who needs to approve it, they will probably have to call around to find out where to send it next. HR Actions shows the forms routing at the bottom of the form based on the forms requirements and any business rules you setup in the system.
- Once someone starts filling out a form, you don't know how long it is in the 'paper' shuffle before it finally makes it to the HR/PR department. It could have gotten side tracked many places along the way and stuck on a desk of someone on vacation. HR Actions allow the form initiator, anyone approving the form, and the HR/PR team to see where form is at, if it is stuck, and allows the HR/PR team to help a form along if it does get stuck somewhere.
- A paper form has to be entered into the HR/PR system. HR Actions is just a click of the 'Save' icon to save it into Sage HRMS or Abra Suite.
- The data keyed into the HR/PR system could have typos done. HR Actions is keying in by the form initiator, and the HR/PR team can 'audit' the form to make any corrections they find.
- Once the form is entered into the HR/PR system, the next step is usually filing the paper. Later when you need to find it you have to go to the paper files and find it.
- HR Actions is your 'online file cabinet.' Imagine if all of your personnel related forms went through HR Actions - you would be able to retrieve items online instead of going to the file cabinet.
That's my list. Let me know if you have other reasons you can think of that HR Actions is better than a paper form.

Water levels low at Lake Cumberland, Dale Hollow
Published 4:19 pm Monday, June 12, 2023
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District's water managers are reporting that two reservoirs in the Cumberland River Basin did not receive enough rain this spring to reach their traditional summer pool elevations, which could affect recreational activities and more.
Email newsletter signup
Robert Dillingham, a hydraulic engineer in the Nashville District Water Management Section, says Lake Cumberland and Dale Hollow Lake did not get to their typical summer elevation due to little rain.
"Water managers control outflow, which is discharge through the dam, but inflow is received via rainfall in the watershed," he stated. "In mid-March, reservoir elevations were on target, but rainfall runoff has been unseasonably dry since mid-March and thus reservoir elevations behind Wolf Creek and Dale Hollow Dams will likely not reach the top of their targets this summer."
The Nashville District's four storage reservoirs, which also include Center Hill Lake and J. Percy Priest Lake, each follow a unique seasonal guide curve where reservoir elevations rise in the spring and draw down in the late summer and fall. Water managers perform a balancing act to maintain available storage throughout the spring for flood risk management while also slowly filling the reservoir to capture water for multi-purpose use throughout the rest of the year. While Center Hill Lake and J. Percy Priest Lake did reach their summer pool levels, Lake Cumberland and Dale Hollow Lake did not.
As of June 5, Wolf Creek Dam at Lake Cumberland had a pool elevation of 714.9 feet. The typical target is elevation 723 feet by mid-May. The historical median elevation for early June is 721 feet. In addition, there is not an option to simply "shut off" the flow of water from Wolf Creek Dam to allow it to fill.
More than half the water flowing through Nashville is originally released from Wolf Creek Dam. This water provides clean hydroelectric energy at Wolf Creek Dam and again at four additional hydropower plants as it makes its way towards the Ohio River. Additionally, this water is critically important for water quality, water supply, commercial navigation, recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat throughout the Cumberland River Basin.
Dale Hollow Dam at Dale Hollow Lake on June 5 had a pool elevation of 648.4 feet. The typical target is elevation 651 feet by mid-May. The historical median elevation for early June is 650. Much like at Wolf Creek Dam, releasing water from Dale Hollow must continue as well.
"It would take more than two inches of rainfall in a single rainfall event in the Wolf Creek and Dale Hollow watersheds for the reservoirs to reach summer pool elevations," Dillingham said. "While receiving significant rainfall events are possible during the summer months, it is highly likely that the lakes would not reach these elevations during this recreation season as water will continue to be released from both projects in the meantime."


C++11: C++-style listener list
Consider you want to create a class where you can register a set of listeners to be notified when something occurs. For example, this is a class that performs some task and you want to be notified when the task has been completely executed. See this code in Java:
public class Task
{
 public void doSomething() { }
 public void addTaskListener(TaskListener t);
}
public interface TaskListener
{
 void taskFinished(TaskEvent e);
}
public static void main(String... args)
{
 Task t = new Task();
 final String name = "TASK 123";
 t.addTaskListener(new TaskListener()
 {
 public void taskFinished(TaskEvent e)
 {
 System.out.println("Task finished: " + name);
 }
 });
 t.addTaskListener(new TaskListener()
 {
 public void taskFinished(TaskEvent e)
 {
 System.out.println("This is a second listener");
 }
 });
 t.doSomething();
}
How would you implement it in C++???
I think the first thing that comes to your mind is: "obviously, using function pointers"; but there is no way of passing context information to the function pointers (actually an anonymous class in Java, as in my example, has access to the attributes of the class where it was defined and also to all the local variables marked as final; but from an external function you simply cannot do that.
So how would the C++ way of doing this be?
First, let's implement the caller. Using C++0x lambdas, it could be as simple as:
int main()
{
 Task t;
 std::string name = "TASK 123";
 t.addTaskListener([&name]
 {
 cout << "Task finished: " << name << endl;
 });
 t.addTaskListener([]
 {
 cout << "This is a second listener" << endl;
 });
 t.doSomething();
}
Very nice, compact, elegant and powerful: You can pass the name local variable as a closure to your lambda function.
In the Task implementation, you should have a vector of listeners and access them when the task is executed successfully:
class Task
{
 private:
 vector<TaskListener> listeners;
 public:
 void addTaskListener(TaskListener lis)
 {
 listeners.push_back(lis);
 }
 void doSomething()
 {
 ...
 invokeListeners();
 }
 private:
 void invokeListeners()
 {
 for (TaskListener lis : listeners)
 lis();
 }
};
Did you already realize the problem?
How TaskListener should be declared?
Could it be a template parameter of a class template? Answer: NO; why? because every lambda function (in my example, 2) is under the hood a class with a functor; so, you could not have ONE to use it for TWO classes.
Ok, you could be tempted to declare your addTaskListener method like:
template <typename TaskListener>
void addTaskListener<Tasklistener t>
{
 listeners.add(t);
}
But in that case, you start a new problem: How could you declare your listeners vector to store one element of one class and other one of another?
The cool solution is using a function abstraction taken from the Boost library and available in C++0x: function.
function is a template class that wraps a function, an object function (functor) or a method, so it is very useful for our problem:
Thus, in our example, TaskListener could be declared as:

#include <functional>
typedef std::function<void ()> TaskListener;
The parameterized type [void ()] says that the function does not receive any argument and returns void.

 1. There's a typo on line 4 of the last example, whereby TypeListener should be TaskListener. Thanks fot the post, I have learnt a lot!

Criticism And Realism In The Necklace, By Guy De Maupassant
1107 Words5 Pages
Originating in France, 'The Necklace' is a short story written by French writer Guy de Maupassant in the late nineteenth century, the period where literary movements realism and naturalism dominated French fiction. Maupassant played an important role in both the realist movement and the naturalist movement through his depiction of the setting as well as the character's decision. The short story reflects upon the rigid patriarchal society during the late nineteenth century, demonstrating how the wealth of a person can lead to their generosity and greed; thus affecting their lifestyles. Through 'The Necklace', Maupassant aims to depict the conflicts between the upper-class and the lower class, how their inner desires vary. This essay will analyze 'The Necklace' and how Maupassant uses the social context, characters and literary devices in the short story to illustrate his misogynistic viewpoints towards women.
The protagonist of 'The Necklace', Madame Loisel, live a rather steady, ordinary middle-class life in the beginning of the story. However, she views that she is intended for a luxurious life, and, therefore, does not cherish what she has. She takes a step forward to her desires, as she was invited to a ball where all the upper-class woman would be, yet she was unhappy with the fact that she does not even have a stone to put on. With her greed for attention, she asks one of her upper-class friends, Madame Forestier, for a necklace that she could borrow for the ball.

text: This paper proposes a route planning problem for sightseeing with fuzzy random variables based on constraints of required traveling times and satisfactions of the total sightseeing activity. In general, traveling times among sightseeing places and the satisfactions of activities depend on weather and climate conditions. Tourists will like to do their favorable route planning without drastically changing the tour route of usual condition such as fine even if the weather condition changes for the worse. Therefore, the fuzzy random variables for traveling times and satisfactions of activities derived from uncertainty conditions are introduced, and a new route planning problem is proposed to obtain the favorable route similar to the optimal route under the usual condition. As a basic case of fuzzy numbers, interval values and the order relation are introduced. From the order relation, the proposed model is transformed into an extended model of network optimization problems. A numerical example is provided to compare the proposed model with standard route planning problems for sightseeing.

Lab Fume Hoods
Fume Hoods use 3 avg. homes worth of electricity
A typical CAV hood consumes the same energy as three average houses ($2500-$3000/year).
Why do hoods consume so much energy?
Because they constantly remove conditioned air (heated or cooled) from the lab without the ability to easily turn them off when not needed. It is like heating your home in the winter with the windows and doors open. Fans also contribute to energy consumption but the loss of conditioned air is by far the largest source of energy consumption.
Fume Hood
What is a Constant Air Volume (CAV) Hood?
A CAV hood is a fume hood which removes the same volume of conditioned air (heated or cooled) from the lab whether the sash is open or closed. So regardless of whether a hood is in use (sash up) or not (sash down), the flow of air from the lab, into the hood, and exhausted from the building is the same. To prevent air velocity from increasing as the sash is closed (reducing the bottom opening to the hood), a bypass opening widens (typically behind a grill near the top of the hood) as the sash is lowered.
How does a Variable Air Volume (VAV) Hood Save Energy?
Shut the Sash
In contrast to a CAV hood, a VAV hood reduces the volume of conditioned air being removed from the lab as the sash is lowered. So when a sash is up at the maximum safe working level, the VAV hood acts like a CAV hood removing a similar volume of conditioned air as a CAV hood, but as the sash is lowered, the volume of air being removed from the lab decreases. Unlike a CAV hood, a VAV hood does not have a bypass opening. Instead, to keep the air velocity from increasing as the sash is closed, the exhaust fan slows accordingly to keep a constant air speed.
 - Keeping a sash completely closed on a VAV hood can greatly reduce the hood's energy consumption. Some say consumption can drop by up to 60%, but it really depends upon the conditions in the lab where the hood is located.
 - On CU-Boulder's campus, you can tell if your hood is VAV by looking for the "Shut the Sash!" sticker with a black hand (shown on this page).
How many fume hoods does CU-Boulder have?
 Approximately 350 CAV and 60 VAV
Are there plans in place to reduce fume hood energy consumption on campus?
Fume hoods are absolutely fundamental to lab safety. Our teaching and research activities at the same time present a major energy conservation opportunity.
Near Term Strategy:
Our goal is to educate and remind our students and lab staff to lower and close sashes when VAV hoods are not in use to save energy and conserve needed make up air in lab buildings (using educational posters and stickers). We will also work with researchers to find out if any teaching or research CAV hoods are no longer needed due to changing research requirements. If that is the case, we will offer a very simple and user friendly program as well as incentive to retire unused CAV hoods, without any compromises to safety.
Long Term Strategy:
Our goal is to create funding opportunities to replace all 350 CAV fume hoods overtime with high performance energy efficient VAV hoods. This is a major undertaking with an extremely high energy conservation opportunity with high upfront investment. While funding opportunities are being reviewed, it makes very good common sense to partner with campus EH&S as well as lab managers and researchers to decide which hoods are connected (exhausting costly conditioned air 24x7) but are not in use. Retire these idle hoods as prerequisite to our long term investment for hoods upgrade.

Why Do Horses Weave?
Why Do Horses Weave?
Horses that weave often do so while standing at the stall door. Increasing visual or physical contact with other horses and optimizing turnout time can help reduce weaving.
Photo: Anne M. Eberhardt/The Horse
Q. I'm curious about my horse's weaving. I know that excess calories/energy can play a factor, as can stress or some other trigger (though I haven't really been able to spot a consistent "trigger" for my horse's episodes—it can range from being handled in his stall to standing and the apparent anticipation of being tacked up), but what I'm most curious about is at how early of an age would a horse begin weaving, and why would he pick that over some other habit—is weaving simply something that just "felt right" to him, when he was scanning the stereotypy catalog? Is it the kind of thing where one kid might start chewing her nails in class while the other taps his foot? And, while I'm on the topic of foot-tapping, are some horses more "rhythmic" than others? I know this might sound strange, but I've noticed my horse sways ever so slightly (though not with his head/neck) when his feet are being handled by the farrier. It reminds me a little of the YouTube video of the horse bobbing his head to a song on YouTube, for instance, only not as charming (to the farrier, at least!).
via e-mail
A. Weaving is a rhythmic swaying in place that usually involves a lateral excursion of the head and neck and a concurrent shifting of weight between the front feet, such that the entire front end of the horse is usually involved, as well as sometimes the hindquarters. Usually the horse does this standing right at the stall door. A number of researchers are working hard to better understand weaving in horses but realize our knowledge of all stereotypies is ever evolving. Always remember horses are built to walk and eat and have social relationships, and when these are thwarted, behaviors that we find undesirable or disconcerting can result.
Why did your horse "pick" weaving out of the catalog? Weaving and other locomotory stereotypies seem to be associated with the urge to walk, forage, and socialize. In part, we think this because one thing that seems to reduce weaving is the placement of a mirror in the horse's stall. Increasing visual or physical contact with other horses and optimizing turnout time also can reduce weaving. And, interestingly, bedding on straw may reduce weaving, perhaps because the horse can forage on straw when other feed isn't available. So this is opposed to an oral stereotypy suck as cribbing, which we tend to link with early (like creep feeding) and contemporary high concentrate diets more than thwarted movement and socialization.
Many believe that the genesis of stereotypies is some management factor or stressor in young horses, often around weaning time and around the 2-year-old mark when early training begins. Certain diet and feeding regimens (such as high concentrates and limited foraging) seem to be a common factor in the development of stereotypies. Weaving specifically has been associated with foals weaned alone, in a box stall, as opposed to a group-weaning scheme. I saw one study that reported 60 months (5 years) as the median age for weaving to begin. Obviously, not all horses will develop a stereotypy even though exposed to early "risk factors." Genetics, predispositions, and intervening management all might play a role.
Researchers think more proximate triggers can be any one of the following, as you have already experienced. A big factor is predictability in routine and his ensuing anticipation of an activity. Another is a too short duration of a rewarding or natural activity, such as turnout or feeding, so he will weave after these events are over. Another is frustrated access to something he wants, such as exercise or social contact.
Early on, there could be a learned element, such an inadvertent reward when he's weaving. Then the horse weaves because of anticipation or frustration. Finally, the weaving becomes "emancipated" from any specific triggers and, perhaps as you are seeing, he just does it with no apparent trigger at all. Remember too, all stereotypies seem to become internally rewarding to the horse.
In summary, the origin of the weaving might have been long ago and, as such, is well out of your control. Trigger factors might be hard to identify and not feasible to really change. There are management schemes that could serve to reduce the urge to weave.
As far as the subtle swaying with the farrier, it could be that is your horse's manner of weaving with a foot held up in the air. But I always have to consider a horse that shifts or sways when one foot is held up that maybe there's some discomfort either with flexion of the up leg, or more weight-bearing on the other legs. Not a red alert, just something to tuck away for future reference.

Adjunct Professor at Randolph College and Executive Director of the Lynchburg Diversity Center, Andi Miller, will host a public film screening and dialogue series as part of the Public Humanities Cinema Project.
The Celluloid Closet, the first film in the series, is a documentary based on the book of the same by Vito Russel. Both works examine the portrayal of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transsexual characters in the film industry, in particular Hollywood, over time. Throughout the business' history, characters have been portrayed as archetypal sissies, subjected to censorship by the Hollywood Production Code, slipped secretly into films, and depicted using cruel stereotypes before changes were made in the early 1990s. The documentary interviews various men and women connected to the Hollywood industry to comment on various film clips and their own personal experiences with the treatment of LGBT characters in film.
The film was honored with four Emmy Award nominations in 1996. It was nominated for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Informational Programming for editing, sound recording and director of photography. It was also nominated for Outstanding Informational special. Additionally, the film received both a Peabody Award and recognition at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival by winning the Freedom of Expression award.
A public discussion and open dialog on the LGBT culture of the 1990s and in cinema will follow, lead by a TBD guest speaker and host Andi Miller.

text: OBJECTIVES: To estimate the required spatial alignment accuracy for correctly grading 95 \% of peripheral zone (PZ) prostate cancers using a system for multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR)-guided ultrasound (US) biopsies. METHODS: PZ prostate tumours were retrospectively annotated on multiparametric MR series using prostatectomy specimens as reference standard. Tumours were grouped based on homogeneous and heterogeneous apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values using an automated ADC texture analysis method. The proportion of heterogeneous tumours containing a distinct, high Gleason grade tumour focus yielding low ADC values was determined. Both overall tumour and high-grade focal volumes were calculated. All high-grade target volumes were then used in a simulated US biopsy system with adjustable accuracy to determine the hit rate. RESULTS: An ADC-determined high-grade tumour focus was found in 63 \% of the PZ prostate tumours. The focal volumes were significantly smaller than the total tumour volumes (median volume of 0.3 ml and 1.1 ml respectively). To correctly grade 95 \% of the aggressive tumour components the target registration error (TRE) should be smaller than 1.9 mm. CONCLUSIONS: To enable finding the high Gleason grade component in 95 \% of PZ prostate tumours with MR-guided US biopsies, a technical registration accuracy of 1.9 mm is required. KEY POINTS : AC/a,!AC/ MRI can identify foci of prostatic cancer with reduced apparent diffusion coefficients AC/a,!AC/ Sixty-three per cent of prostatic peripheral zone tumours contain high-grade tumour low ADC foci AC/a,!AC/ The median volume of such foci is 0.3 ml AC/a,!AC/ Biopsy targets are significantly smaller than whole tumour volumes AC/a,!AC/ Simulated registration accuracy is 1.9 mm for correctly grading 95 \% of tumours.

text: During 1978-79, the Bureau of Mines surveyed the mineral potential of the west portion of Western Chichagof Island as part of the examination of the Western Chichagof and Yakobi Islands Wilderness Study Area, Tongass National Forest, southeast Alaska. The study included literature and claims records searches; field examinations of the reported mines, prospects, or claims; and field evaluation of geochemical anomalies noted by the U.S. Geological survey during concurrent investigations. Two mineralized areas were found. One, called the slocum arm molybdenum area, is estimated to have moderate potential for the development of porphyry or vein-type molybdenum deposits. The other, called the west coast gold area, is estimated to have moderate potential for the development of fault controlled gold-silver lode deposits.

text: Abert's SquirrelSciurus aberti- L= 18 1/4–23 inches. Abert's Squirrels have a complicated relationship with ponderosa pine trees. Their favorite food is the cones of the Ponderosa Pine. They will turn the cone slowly, much like you may rotate an ear of corn as you eat it, peeling away the cone scales to reach the meaty seeds. The new buds and inner bark of the Ponderosa are also quickly consumed by the squirrel. You may think this would be bad for the Ponderosa; but the Abert's also eat ectomycorrhizal fungi, the consequence of this feeding activity spreads the spores of the fungi around. As it turns out this fungi is very beneficial to the survival of the Ponderosa Trees and the Abert's Squirrel serve a fundamental function in the propagation of the fungi. The relationship between the Ponderosa Pine and this little squirrel is quite remarkable and complex.
