PyNLP -- parsing and distributional similarity package for Python
PyNLP is a collection of Python/C/C++ modules that provide a common framework for discriminative parsing and distributional similarity-based clustering.
PyNLP is currently licensed for noncommercial purposes only. Special thanks to Helmut Schmid for allowing the inclusion of parts of BitPar and SFST in this distribution.
This distribution includes (parts of) the following software: BitPar (by Helmut Schmid; noncommercial only) _URL_ SFST (by Helmut Schmid; GPL) _URL_ FlexModule/BisonModule (Tommy McGuire; Pythonesque license) _URL_ Simple C++ wrapper for PCRE (Peter Petersen; BSD-like license) [different versions of this one floating around on the Internet.]
NOTE: the library modules that use BitPar and SFST are based on older versions of these programs and recent versions of these may have different functionality (in the case of BitPar) or use incompatible file formats (SFST). In particular, most of the functionality in the 'bitpar' C++ module that is beyond parsing bit vector charts (i.e., head finding, extraction of forests, discriminative parsing) is not present in BitPar, whereas reranking is present in newer versions of BitPar, but not in the module.
The following language resources can be used with PyNLP: - old SMOR/IMSLex (German morphology; proprietary)
cannot be redistributed
- SMOR with the IDS lexicon (German morphology) -- not done yet Note that this may yield slightly different results from using SMOR with the (non-redistributable) IMSLex lexicon.
- Morph-It (Italian morphology)
The easiest way to install this is by installing the necessary python packages via Debian/Ubuntu's apt-get and then setup the package in a virtualenv (so you can install new versions without having to modify the central python installation).
To actually do useful things, you need to untar the pytree_data.tgz tarball somewhere and point the PYNLP environment variable to that directory: export PYNLP=~/tmp/pytree_data
For building the software, you will need the following packages: gcc g++ python-dev libpcre++-dev python-numpy bison flex python-virtualenv (optional) cython (optional)
You will also need the dti decision tree package from Christian Borgelt: _URL_
To build and setup everything: cd ~/tmp virtualenv parser_env cd ~/sources/pytree-package ~/tmp/parser_env/bin/python setup.py install cd tests ~/tmp/parser_env/bin/python test-all.py
Tu build and setup for a system installation, it's just python setup.py build sudo python setup.py install cd tests python test-all.py
After PyTree is installed, you can run "make html" in the "docs/" subdirectory to build API documentation in nice HTML format if you have installed the Sphinx document formatting suite.
Parsing with an existing grammar
To do lexicalized parsing with an existing grammar, use the script parse_lex.py, for example: python parse_lex.py -l de.tiger -g grammar/full -m grammar/all.model where:
- -l gives the settings bundle for PyNLP (which sets the right
- morphological prediction, head table, etc.)
-g gives the path to the files for the first stage PCFG grammar -m gives the path to the discriminative model parameters
Retraining the parser with an existing grammar
To retrain the parser, several steps are necessary: * Create the annotated trees from the treebank
for Tiger, this is done by the script tiger2mrg.py which will read a Negra export file, transform it including projectivizing the tree, and then write a bracketed file with edge label information.
- create base PCFG grammars for the n-fold crosstraining see scripts/parse_all.sh for how to do this.
- extract the discriminative training data for each fold:
- python train_lex.py -l de.tiger -g fold3 -o fold3/fold.event fold3/heldout.mrg
- (lather, rinse, repeat for fold1..fold5 and full)
- join the discriminative training data and apply frequency threshold:
amis_tools/treelexer -t 5 -l all.in -o all.event fold*/fold.event * run AMIS to estimate model parameters amis all.conf
- reward yourself with a cookie: you should now have - the PCFG grammar in.../full/ - the discriminative model in.../all.model
Adapting to other grammars or languages
basically, you want to have the following: * a script for treebank conversion and annotation
Look at tiger2mrg.py for an example how this could look. Basically, you would want to - have edge labels that (minimally) distinguish betweenmodifiers on one hand, different types of arguments on the other hand and conjuncts as well.
- markovize coordinations (look at the function with that name in tiger2mrg - basically, find coordinations and markovize them so that they are distinct from other phrases with linear markovization
- use generic_markovize to do markovization with GF marking which is head-based (if you have a head table).
- write everything out in VPF format (again, look at tiger2mrg.py how to do this).
- a head table (already used in step 1) look at pynlp/*/*_heads.py for ideas on how to do this.
- a POS prediction component look at pynlp/de/smor_pos.py and pynlp/it/morphit_pos.py for examples.
- a regex list look at data/german-regex.in and data/italian-regex.in for examples.
- one settings bundle to rule them all (or two) modify pynlp/__init__.py so that PyNLP can actually find all those components.

Quick Answer: What'S This Song Called?
Can Siri identify songs?
What are female singers called?
Can you hum a song to Shazam?
Shazam is also built-in to Siri, so you could just ask Siri what a song is and she'll tell you. The downside to Shazam is that it requires the original song to identify, so you can't just hum or sing into it, and tagged songs can't be bookmarked for later reference.
How do I get Google to identify a song?
On your phone, touch and hold the Home button or say "Hey Google." Ask "What's this song?" Play a song or hum, whistle, or sing the melody of a song. Hum, whistle, or sing: Google Assistant will identify potential matches for the song.
What is that song App?
ShazamWhen you want to know "what is that song" playing at a bar, club or party, Shazam will identify it for you in a matter of seconds. What's more, you can use it on Android, iPhone, and Windows Mobile phones. The only disadvantage with Shazam is that it doesn't identify tunes by humming.
How can I find a song by humming?
Can Siri identify a song by humming?
Apple Siri and Google Voice Assistant You can activate the voice assistant by saying Siri or OK Google. Then say 'What song is this'. … If you are using a Windows Phone, Microsoft's Cortana can also perform a similar search and help you recognize songs by humming.
Can't find a song I heard?
Use Shazam or MusicID. These are popular apps that analyze sounds and identify songs from their database of recordings. If you've got Shazam on your phone and hear a song you can't identify and don't know anything about, activate the app and hold it toward the audio source and wait for a result.
What are 4 singers called?
A group of four singers or instrumentalists is called a quartet or quartette (French: quatuor, German: Quartett, Italian: quartetto, Spanish: cuarteto, Polish: kwartet). A quartet can also be a composition for four instruments or voices.
What is that song called?
SoundHound can listen to you sing the song you want to identify. SoundHound does pretty much everything Shazam does and even more. Just like Shazam, SoundHound can tell you what song is playing at the tap of a button. But let's say that song you just heard ended before you could whip out your phone and open Shazam.
How do I identify a song?
Google built song identification into the Google search app on Android. Arguably part of Google Now, identifying songs is one of the many "OK Google" voice commands you can use on Android. To identify a song, you can just say "OK Google, what is this song?"—provided you have the OK Google feature enabled.

Inspired by child development and brain research, we introduce a computational framework which integrates robotic active vision and reaching. Essential elements of this framework are sensorimotor mappings that link three different computational domains relating to visual data, gaze control, and reaching. The domain of gaze control is the central computational substrate that provides, first, a systematic visual search and, second, the transformation of visual data into coordinates for potential reach actions. In this respect, the representation of object locations emerges from the combination of sensorimotor mappings. The framework is tested in the form of two different architectures that perform visually guided reaching. Systematic experiments demonstrate how visual search influences reaching accuracy. The results of these experiments are discussed with respect to providing a reference architecture for developmental learning in humanoid robot systems.

1/ General required documents for filing Patent/Utility Model Registration in Vietnam (Patent Registration)
In order to file a Patent Application in Vietnam, please provide us with the following documents:
- Instruction letter containing Title of the Invention, name(s) and address(es) of the Applicant(s) and Inventor(s);
- Power of Attorney (POA) – Original
- Specification, claim, abstract and drawing (if any) in English – via email is acceptable
2/ General information for Patent/Utility Model Registration in Vietnam
- In Vietnam the deadline for PCT Patent application entering into National phase 31 months from Priority date and Paris Convention application is 12 months from the Priority date.
- Power of Attorney forms need to be filed, but neither notarization nor legalization is required. If the forms cannot be submitted at filing, it is possible to file late as a response to the IP Vietnam's Notification of Deficiencies (at a cost) within one month, with an extension of further two months, from the date of Office Action.
- Assignments are only required if the applicant of the priority application is different to the applicant of the Vietnamese application, or, the applicant is an individual but not an inventor of the application.
- Examination request can be filed either at filing or later. Deadline for request for substantive examination is 42 months for inventions and 36 months for utility solutions, either from priority date or from filing date if no priority is claimed.
- A certified copy of the Priority Document (for Paris Convention application) is required within three months from the filing date (with details needed at filing). Only the priority data is required at the time of filing (application number, filing date and country).
- In regard of providing Vietnamese translation of a patent application we would like to advise you that according to the current patent regulations, Vietnamese translation of a patent specification is required at filing. Therefore, we try to complete the translation to submit it at application filing date instructed by clients. We would highly appreciate it if a patent specification in English is sent to our firm in a well time so that we could have sufficient duration of time to do translation and to review in order to ensure its best quality before submission.
3/ Requirement or limitation about computer related inventions:
Requirement: Patents involving computer programs are a form of "patents made by computers", This phrase refers to subjects related to computers, computer networks or other programmable devices, in which features of claimed subject matters are carried out by computer programs.
Although computer programs are on the list of those which are not protected as patents but if the claims have technical characteristics and are really a technical solution, in order to solve a technical problems using technical means to produce a technical effect, they may be protected as patents. For example, a data processing operation is controlled by a computer program that theoretically could be done equally by special circuits, and the implementation of programs is always accompanied by physical effects, such as electrical current, and ordinary physical effects themselves are not sufficient for computer programs to have technical characteristics. However, if a computer program that, when run on a computer, creating other technical effects, in addition to the normal physical effects, then that program is capable of being protected as patents. These other technical effects may be known from prior arts. Technical effects in the above cases may be, for example, in controlling an industrial process, in processing data representing physical entities or in the performance of the main functions within the computer or its interface under the impact of this program and may, for example, affect the performance or safety of the process, the management of resources of the computer or the data transfer rate on the transmission line. Therefore, a computer program can be regarded as capable of being protected as patents if the program, when run on a computer, can create technical effects beyond the typical interaction between the program and the computer.
Limitation: However, even in the case of a computer program capable of being protected as inventions as described above, in the claims, the subject matters represented by phrases such as "computer programs", "computer software", "computer program/software product", or "program-carrying signal", and other similar terms are not acceptable. A computer program can be protected as subject matters, for example, methods to operate a conventional device, devices installed to carry out a method, carriers containing programs to carry out a method.
4/ Subject matters not protected as inventions
The following subject matters shall not be protected as inventions:
1. Discoveries, scientific theories; mathematical methods;
2. Schemes, plans, rules or methods for performing mental acts, training domestic animals, playing games, doing business; computer programs;
3. Presentations of information;
4. Solutions of aesthetic characteristics only;
5. Plant varieties, animal varieties;
6. Processes of essentially biological nature for the production of plants and animals other than microbiological processes;
7. Disease prevention, diagnostic and treatment methods for human or animals.

Who is Godbee from Olive's Ocean and what is their importance?
In English & Literature | Asked by bookragstutor
Asked from the Olive's Ocean study pack
Godbee from Olive's Ocean is Martha's grandmother. They don't know one another that well so when she goes to visit Godbee, her grandmother suggests that each day they are together that they tell one thing about themselves to each other. Martha agrees and discovers that they have a lot in common. She also appreciates the fact that her grandmother seems to 'get' her and doesn't ridicule the notion that she wants to be a writer. Godbee is a good study of human nature and is easier with the rules than Martha's parents.

TEXAS STATE PARKS
Natural Economic Assets
STATE PARK PROFILES
Balmorhea State Park
Balmorhea State Park is located in far West Texas in the community of Toyahvale, four miles west of Balmorhea. The 45.9-acre park's main attraction is San Solomon Springs, a spring-fed pool that covers 1.75 acres with a year-round water temperature between 72 to 76 degrees. The pool holds 3.5 million gallons, but anywhere from 22 million to 28 million gallons of fresh water flow through the pool every day. The deeper parts of the pool are in a natural state, allowing swimmers to enjoy the fish and aquatic vegetation. The park also includes the Cienega Project, a spring-fed desert wetland and canals that are home to endangered fish, a variety of aquatic life, turtles, birds and other animals.
In 2007, park attendance was about 52,000, evenly distributed between day users and overnight visitors.
The springs provided water to the American Indians and later to the Mexican farmers who used the water for their crops and dug the first irrigation canals. In the mid-1800s, the springs were called Mescalero Springs after the Apache Indians in the area, but later the Mexican farmers renamed them San Solomon Springs. Today, the clear and cool waters attract numerous swimmers and scuba divers to the area.1 In fiscal 2007, park attendance was about 52,000, evenly distributed between day users and overnight visitors.2 The park and the pool are popular with Texas and New Mexico residents. Groups enjoy coming to the park from the nearby Buffalo Trail Scout Ranch and the Historic Prude Ranch.3
In addition to the springs, the park includes a concession building, two bathhouses, the superintendent's residence and San Solomon Courts Motel, all built in Spanish Colonial style. The pool and other structures in the park were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the early 1930s. By helping to preserve these CCC structures, the park is playing an important role in safeguarding the nation's heritage.
The springs are a magnet for scuba divers and dive instructors in Texas and New Mexico. At 20 feet deep, with a horizontal clarity of 80 to 100 feet and constant water temperatures, the springs provide a predictable environment for divers.4 Lead Park Ranger Tony Fleenor says, "We have divers year-round. In the off season, fall and winter, divers are our bread and butter."5
Neta Rhyne, the owner of the Toyahvale Desert Oasis dive shop, adjoining the park, says, "I like to refer to San Solomon Springs as the only dive site that provides entertainment for the whole family. One can swim, scuba dive, snorkel, sunbathe, bird watch, picnic, play in the playground, sit under a shade tree by the spring, camp and enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets."6
Balmorhea State Park also plays an important role in the economic wellbeing of the surrounding communities of Toyahvale and Balmorhea, with a combined population of just over 500. "The state park has a significant positive economic impact on local businesses," says Balmorhea City Manager Terry Upshur. "The park attracts tourists to the area, increasing business for local hotel/motels, grocery stores and restaurants."7
Local area retailer Rhyne says, "My business would not exist without the park, which is the main economic catalyst for the local economy. Many other area businesses would be unable to survive without the park."8
Balmorhea State Park contributed $961,316 in sales and $522,195 in personal income to Reeves County in 2006.
In fiscal 2007, the park reported operating expenses of $443,735 for staff salaries and minor repairs, and revenues of $657,837, for a net operating gain of $214,102.9
According to a study conducted by John Crompton and Juddson Culpepper of Texas A&M University, Balmorhea State Park contributed $961,316 in sales and $522,195 in personal income to Reeves County in 2006. The park also created 19.5 jobs and generated $4,806 in sales tax revenue for the county in that year.10

Is baking soda safe for cats
Is baking soda safe for cats litter box?
Add baking soda to the litter. It makes a great all-natural deodorizer for your litter box. Some people ask if baking soda is safe for cats, and the answer is an unqualified yes! Baking soda is nontoxic, and by mixing a little of it with the litter, you can help absorb pet urine odors.
Can you put baking soda on a cat?
While high levels of acetic acid can be toxic to fleas, the acidic nature can also be harmful to the pets skin with repeated or long-term exposure. Baking soda has no known effect on fleas.
Is baking soda safe to use around pets?
Small amounts of baking soda are considered harmless to use around dogs, but feeding it to them is not recommended. Baking soda can be toxic to dogs if large quantities are ingested. 1 It's important to understand how to use it properly and keep your dog safe.
Is soda toxic to cats?
Pets may urinate more just like we do after drinking a couple of sodas. Cats and dog with too much caffeine on board may run a fever and become weak. In severe cases, pets may collapse or drift into a coma. And, unfortunately, some pets die.
Can you flush cat poop?
THE ANSWER: Yes, cat feces contains a parasite called Toxoplasma Gondii which is harmful to humans, and most cat litter shouldn't be flushed anyways because it causes major plumbing issues by clogging drains.

Printing memory
So I want to create a program that will print out every memory location and the value located on that address. How would I do this?
I'm well aware I need to use pointers, I was thinking maybe a concactinated loop that creates/modifies a string and then casting it to an integer that I can make equal to another integer and then cout<<&integer;.
Any ideas/thoughts/concerns?
You may have asked something similar @ the MSDN forums and I may have already answer you, but just in case here it goes:
Google up "virtual address space" to learn why you cannot access the memory contents of other executables running. Having said that, with sufficient privileges you can use ReadProcessMemory() to read specific locations of virtual memory in other executables. Google that up too.
If you do not want to read other processes' memory, then you can just attempt to read each memory address in the process address space. Some you'll be able to read, some you won't. You'll probably required structure error handling to avoid bad crashes. Google that up too.
I don't go into more detail because the topics involved are extensive. Best if you read about the subject from more authoritative sources.

ZF-3792: joinUsing() produces wrong SQL
$db->select()->from('A')->joinUsing('B', 'colname')
Should produce SQL syntax with the {{USING}} clause:
But it currently tries to guess at the tables being joined, and output a traditional equi-join:
SELECT * FROM A JOIN B ON A.colname = B.colname
This actually results in semantic problems in some queries, because Zend_Db_Select always assumes that a "Using" join is joining to the first table referenced in the query. This is not how the {{USING}} clause works in SQL.
$db->select()->from('A')->joinUsing('B', 'colname1')->joinUsing('C', 'colname2')
Should produce SQL syntax:
SELECT * FROM A JOIN B USING (colname1) JOIN C USING (colname2)
This should give the same results as this query:
SELECT * FROM A JOIN B ON B.colname1 = A.colname1 JOIN C ON C.colname2 = B.colname2
But in Zend_Db_Select, it produces the following SQL:
SELECT * FROM A JOIN B ON B.colname1 = A.colname1 JOIN C ON C.colname2 = A.colname2
Of course if table {{A}} has no {{colname2}}, this query returns an error.
If both {{A}} and {{B}} have a column named {{colname2}}, a query with {{USING (column2)}} is ambiguous, and should return an error. The SQL produced by Zend_Db_Select is not ambiguous, but it assumes that {{C}} is joined to {{A}}. This is in improper assumption.
Schema for above example:
CREATE TABLE A ( colname1 INT);
CREATE TABLE B ( colname1 INT, colname2 INT);
CREATE TABLE C ( coname2 INT);
SQL's {{USING}} clause actually knows which columns exist in which tables, and it decides which table you're trying to join based on which table has a column of the same name. So it knows that you intend to join {{C.colname2 = B.colname2}} because it knows {{B}} has a column {{colname2}}.
When multiple tables in the query contain a column of the same name, this is ambiguous and the semantics for {{USING}} can't guess what you intended. So it throws an error, which is the right thing to do.
Updating project management info: Minor, Should Have in Next Mini Release, assumed 2h of work.
I think that joinUsing should change to support USING like it should and at the same time it should support a joinOn. I spoke with Ralph about this issue and I came with a suggested implementation:
 public function joinOn($table, $onCondition) {
 if (strpos($onCondition,'') === false) {
 $onCondition = $this->_name. '.'. $this->_primary.'= '. $table. '.'. $onCondition;
 $this->... = 'JOIN '. $table.'ON ('. $onCondition. ')';
It's a pseudo-code... I'm not too focused on Zend Framework internals. So it's just an idea. Just a quick explanation:
The condition is there to support custom queries too. Examples:
$q->joinOn('B', 'column'); // JOIN B ON (A.column = B.column)
$q->joinOn('B','= B.column2'); // JOIN B ON ( = B.column2)
After speaking with [~ralph] on the issue, it was decided to close this as "Won't Fix" for these two reasons:
 - SQL Server and Sybase do not support USING clause
 - JOIN USING and JOIN ON differ in the way they return columns. ie: JOIN ON would have t1.col and t2.col in the result set, but JOIN USING would have only col, so references to t1.col or t2.col in the WHERE clause would fail.

Mini Succulent Garden DIY
I love miniature gardens and polymer clay – this little project has them both! One thing that makes this garden extra special is the container. When I saw this old metal ladle at a sort of yardsale my grandma was having, I thought, "This would be perfect for a fairy garden!"
And it was.
succulent garden.PNG
Isn't it so cute? 🙂 I filled the ladle with dirt, added some moss, and stuck in the mushrooms and succulents I made from polymer clay.
I took some pictures while I was making the succulents so I could show you guys how to do it yourself. Let's start with a really easy succulent.
Step 1: Roll lots of little balls from green polymer clay. (More than it shows here.)
Step 2: Shape the balls into teardrops.
Step 3: Arrange the teardrops as the leaves of the succulent.
Step 4: Smush together layers of teardrop leaves. Start with small teardrops, then surround them with slightly large teardrops and so on and so forth until the desired shape is formed. Attach the teardrops together pointed side down.
Step 5: If you wish, paint a little red-brown artist's pastel onto the ends of the leaves.
Now let's try a harder succulent: (But this is definitely one of my favorites.)
Step 1: Roll a medium sized log of green polymer clay.
Step 2: Cut the log into many small chunks with a knife of some kind (if you don't have an exacto knife, a kitchen paring knife will work too.)
Step 3: Roll one end of each piece to a point so you have a forest of little clay trees.
Step 4: Pinch one of your trees between your thumb and forefinger, like so:Steallisonclay_succulents_mums_038
Step 5: Squish five of these deformed tree shapes into a star, like this: Add a tiny cone in the center.
Step 6: Keep adding layers of five around and around until you reach the desired shape. You can also dent the leaves with the end of a paintbrush or a toothpick.
Step 7: Paint the tip of each leaf with red-brown artist's pastel powder. (Rub some of the chalk onto paper, then brush it on with a small paintbrush.) This makes your succulent a lot more realistic.
There we go! Know you know how to make two kinds of succulents. Play around with different shaped leaves to make different kinds of succulents.
Do you like making miniature gardens? If so keep watching for another post about them soon!
Thanks for reading, guys! 🙂

About Chile in detail
Where is Chile?
Chile, in case, if you are looking on the map under the Coordinates 33 27 S 70 40 W otherwise in South America, in Southern South America, bordering the South Pacific Ocean, between Argentina and Peru.
What is the capital city of Chile?
The capital city of Chile is Santiago.
What is the time in Santiago?
It is 2 hours ahead of Washington, D.C. during Standard Time; Santiago's timezone is UTC-3.
What is the Internet code for Chile?
The Top Level Domain (TLD) for Chile is:.cl
What is the size of Chile?
The territory of Chile is total: 756,102 sq km; land: 743,812 sq km, water: 12,290 sq km.
If we want to describe the size of Chile's territory is somewhat smaller than twice the size of Montana.
If we would like to walk around and discover Chile, we can cover a total distance: 7,801 km.
What is the water coverage of Chile?
We have already mentioned what Chile percentage is covered by water (see below), and this includes a 6,435 km coastline.
What is the climate like in Chile?
Chile's climate is temperate: a desert in the north: the Mediterranean in the central region: cold and damp in the south.
Geographical data of Chile
Chile's elevation; mean elevation: 1,871 m, elevation extremes; lowest point: Pacific Ocean 0 m, highest point: Nevado Ojos del Salado 6,880 m.
Chile's specific geographical details include low coastal mountains, fertile central valley, and the rugged Andes in the east.
Suppose we would like to describe the countries location from a different perspective. In that case, it is safe to say, and easy to read from a map, Chile is the longest north-south trending country in the world, extending across 39 degrees of latitude; strategic location relative to sea lanes between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (Strait of Magellan, Beagle Channel, Drake Passage); Atacama Desert – the driest desert in the world – spreads across the northern part of the country; the crater lake of Ojos del Salado is the world's highest lake (at 6,390 m).
Resources and land use of Chile
The country's main mined products are copper, timber, iron ore, nitrates, precious metals, molybdenum, hydropower. The population partly uses the earlier highlighted land territory and partly left in its natural state: agricultural land: 21.1%; arable land 1.7%; permanent crops 0.6%; permanent pasture 18.8%; forest: 21.9%; other: 57% (2011 estimate).
Population data of Chile
The number of inhabitants of Chile is 17,650,114 (July 2016 estimate).
If we examine the proportion of the population distribution, it is safe to say that 90% of the population is located in the middle third of the country around Santiago's capital; the far north (anchored by the Atacama Desert) and the extreme south are relatively underpopulated.
If we look at the proportion of the urbanized and barely populated areas, these are the figures: urban population: 89.5% of the total population (2015).
Most of the population in Chile is concentrated in SANTIAGO (capital) 6.507 million; Valparaiso 907,000; Concepcion 816,000 (2015).
Ethnicity in Chile
According to ethnicity details, the ethnic groups are white and non-indigenous 88.9%, Mapuche 9.1%, Aymara 0.7%, other indigenous groups 1% (includes Rapa Nui, Likan Antai, Quechua, Colla, Diaguita, Kawesqar, Yagan or Yamana), unspecified 0.3% (2012 estimate).
Spoken languages in Chile
The spoken languages in Chile are the following: Spanish 99.5% (official language), English 10.2%, indigenous 1% (includes Mapudungun, Aymara, Quechua, Rapa Nui), other 2.3%, unspecified 0.2%. Note shares sum to more than 100% because some respondents gave more than one answer on the census (2012 estimate).
What are the most important religions in Chile?
According to this, during the general census, researchers examine the churches: Roman Catholic 66.7%, Evangelical or Protestant 16.4%, Jehovah's Witnesses 1%, other 3.4%, none 11.5%, unspecified 1.1% (2012 estimate).
Further population data of Chile
The proportion of gender and age tells a lot about the society as follows 0-14 years: 20.27% (male 1,825,115 / female 1,751,977) 15-24 years: 15.45% (male 1,391,522 / female 1,335,933) 25-54 years: 43.17% (male 3,804,037 / female 3,816,114) 55-64 years: 10.6% (male 880,014 / female 990,969) 65 years and over: 10.51% (male 776,340 / female 1,078,093) (2016 estimate). It also a significant factor in a society the population growth rate, which in the case of Chile is 0.8% (2016 estimate).
The population growth rate is based on two elements, the birth, and the death rate. In Chile the birth rate is 13.7 births / 1,000 population (2016 estimate), the death rate 6.1 deaths / 1,000 population (2016 estimate).
In this day and age in developed societies, the first child borns later compared to the previous centuries and decades, so childbearing is extended. In Chile, the average age of mothers at the first childbirth is N/A.
Although the children's birth is postponed in the best-case scenario, the parents can still see their kids grow as life expectancy also extended. In the case of Chile, these figures are. With the introduction of modern medicine, vaccinations, and the proper hygienic conditions, the infant mortality rate is in a steep decline. The infant mortality statistics in Chile are the following: N/A. Relevant data is the budget of healthcare, which is in the case of this country is 7.8% of GDP (2014).
Economic data of Chile
Suppose we would like to describe a country. We also have to mention its economy; Chile has a market-oriented economy characterized by a high level of foreign trade and a reputation for strong financial institutions and sound policy, giving it the most robust sovereign bond rating in South America. From 2003 through 2013, real growth averaged almost 5% per year, despite the slight contraction in 2009 that resulted from the global financial crisis. Growth slowed to an estimated 1.7% in 2016. A continued drop in copper prices prompted Chile to experieChile deepened its longstanding commitment to trade liberalization with the signing of a free trade agreement with the US, which took effect on 1 January 2004. Chile has 22 trade agreements covering 60 countries, including agreements with the EU, Mercosur.
The Chilean Government has generally followed a countercyclical fiscal policy, accumulating surpluses in sovereign wealth funds during periods of high copper prices and economic growth, and generally allowing deficit spending only during periods of low coIn 2014, President Michelle BACHELET introduced tax reforms aimed at delivering her campaign promise to fight inequality and to provide access to education and health care. The reforms are expected to generate additional tax revenues equal to 3% of Chile's.

Is a bagel high in carbs?
If there is a downside to bagels, it's that the average deli bagel can have up to 350 calories and 50 to 60 grams of carbohydrates—equal in carbohydrates to three or four slices of bread. Without fiber, the carbohydrates in a bagel digest quickly, convert to sugar, and then, very possibly, to fat.
Can you eat bagels on a low carb diet?
Depending on your personal carb tolerance, eating a sandwich, burrito, or bagel could put you near or over your daily limit. If you still want to enjoy bread, make your own low-carb loaves at home. Most grains, including rice, wheat, and oats, are also high in carbs and need to be limited or avoided on a low-carb diet.
Can I eat a bagel on a diet?
Most bagels lack vitamins, minerals and fiber. Without fiber, the carbohydrates in a bagel digest quickly, convert to sugar and then, very possibly, to fat. Dieters are better off eating a 100-percent whole grain English muffin or a slice of whole wheat bread that contains at least 5g of fiber per serving.
Are bagels healthier than bread?
In terms of carbs and calories, there are about 3.15 slices of bread in the average plain bagel (a bagel contains 245 calories, a slice of bread has 79 calories). Okay, so yes, bagels are more dense, caloric and potentially less healthy than a piece of bread, but would you stake your happiness on that?

Constrained Conditional Model
A Constrained Conditional Model (CCM) is a machine learning and inference framework that refers to augmenting the learning of conditional (probabilistic or discriminative) models with declarative constraints (written, for example, using a first-order representation) as a way to support decisions in an expressive output space while maintaining modularity and tractability of training and inference.
Models of this kind have recently attracted much attention within the NLP community. Formulating problems as constrained optimization problems over the output of learned models has several advantages. It allows one to focus on the modeling of problems by providing the opportunity to incorporate domain-specific knowledge as global constraints using a first order language. Using this declarative framework frees the developer from low level feature engineering while capturing the problem's domain-specific properties and guarantying exact inference. From a machine learning perspective it allows decoupling the stage of model generation (learning) from that of the constrained inference stage, thus helping to simplify the learning stage while improving the quality of the solutions.
Making decisions in many learning domains (such as natural language processing and computer vision problems) often involve assigning values to sets of interdependent variables where the expressive dependency structure can influence, or even dictate, what assignments are possible. These settings are applicable to Structured Learning problems such as semantic role labeling but also for cases that require making use of multiple pre-learned components, such as summarization, textual entailment and question answering. In all these cases, it is natural to formulate the decision problem as a constrained optimization problem, with an objective function that is composed of learned models, subject to domain or problem specific constraints.
Constrained Conditional Models is a learning and inference framework that augments the learning of conditional (probabilistic or discriminative) models with declarative constraints (written, for example, using a first-order representation) as a way to support decisions in an expressive output space while maintaining modularity and tractability of training and inference. In most applications of this framework in NLP, following, Integer Linear Programming (ILP) was used as the inference framework, although other algorithms can be used for that purpose.
Learning Local VS. Global Models
The objective function used by CCMs can be decomposed and learned in several ways, ranging from a complete joint training of the model along with the constraints to completely decoupling between the learning and the inference stage. In the latter case, several local models are learned independently and the dependency between these models is considered only at decision time via a global decision process. The advantages of each approach are discussed in, which studies the two training paradigms: (1) local models: L+I (learning+inference) and (2) global model: IBT (Inference based training), and shows both theoretically and experimentally that while IBT (joint training) is best in the limit, under some conditions (basically, "good" components") L+I can generalize better.
Minimally Supervised CCM
CCM can help reduce supervision by using domain knowledge (expressed as constraints) to drive learning. These setting were studied in and. These works introduce semi-supervised Constraints Driven Learning (CODL) and show that by incorporating domain knowledge the performance of the learned model improves significantly.
Learning over Latent Representations
CCMs were also applied to latent learning frameworks, where the learning problem is defined over a latent representation layer. Since the notion of a correct representation is inherently ill-defined no gold-labeled data regarding the representation decision is available to the learner. Identifying the correct (or optimal) learning representation is viewed as a structured prediction process and therefore modeled as a CCM. This problem was studied by several papers, in both supervised and unsupervised settings and in all cases showed that explicitly modeling the interdependencies between representation decisions via constraints results in an improved performance.
CCM for Natural Language Processing Applications
The advantages of the CCM declarative formulation and the availability of off-the-shelf solvers have led to a large variety of natural language processing tasks being formulated within framework, including semantic role labeling, syntactic parsing, coreference resolution, summarization, transliteration and joint information extraction.
Most of these works use an Integer Linear Programming solver to solve the decision problem. Although theoretically solving an Integer Linear Program is exponential in the size of the decision problem in practice using state-of-the-art solvers and sophisticated formulations large scale problems can be solved efficiently.

This graphic shows the order in which Oracle returns the rows for a query of a hierarchical tree. Beginning with the root row, Oracle returns one child row of the root, and then one child of that child row, and so forth until a leaf row (one without children) is encountered.
At this point, Oracle goes up in the hierarchy until the next row with a child row is found, and the Oracle returns that child, and so forth until the next leaf row is returned.
This process continues, with Oracle returning to the root row for the next child only when all of the "descendants" of the first child row have been returned.

Today most of the apparel industry and manufacturing houses are dependent on labor centric cutting cycle. Manually fabric cutting and sewing make production expensive. Here is the role of automation came in manufacturing houses. Automation in fabric cutting rooms can transform costly labor-intensive production into high-tech production houses.
What is cutting room?
Cutting Room is a section of the department, where fabric cutting is done and processed for the following section (e.g. sewing section) in the garments manufacturing industry
Automation In Cutting Room
Automation in fabric cutting room improves productivity and quality of apparel. It will be helpful to minimize human intervention and prevent manufacturing mistakes in the manufacturing houses soon.
Revolution of Automation in Cutting:
Versatile new inventions have automated cutting room layout in apparel manufacturing houses. In the early 1900s, an automatic spreading was developed, which carries a fabric role over the table had reduced manpower. Then the Die cutters came to increase fabric cutting efficiency and quality.
Later on, numerically controlled machines named NC machines came Infront in the 1940s and 50s. Then advancement of technology invents the computer numerically controlled CNC machines, supported by tools like computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs.
Modern Automated Cutting System
Today, most manufacturing houses have similar automated cutting configurations. Straight knives and band knives are used in most manufacturing houses.
A cutting knife device is set up on a flatbed cutting table in a straight knife cutting system. The cutting device can move above the table. But in the Band Cutting machine, the cutting knife has a permanent position. The fabric could be moved and floating by air circulation.
These movements of the cutting machine or fabric let the cutting over the pre-planned area. It's managed precisely by an automated or semi-automated control unit.
Fabric Cutting Configuration
In a modern automated cutting system, single ply or multiple plies of fabric has a different configuration to cut fabric.
Single-ply cutting enhances with continuous processes. It eliminates the requirements of the spreader. Cause, the fabric can be supplied to the cutting area directly from the fabric roll. A conveyorized belt is used for foraging for increased productivity.
When multiple fabric plies are spread to cut, it requires more substantial cutting power—still, most manufacturing houses use this procedure to enhance productivity.
The use of automatic cutting machines has reduced both the number of workers and the time compared to manually operated machines. Besides, accuracy and efficiency can be increased.

Automation In Fabric Cutting Room is the Necessity in Near Future for Manufacturing Houses
Till now, Fabric cutting is accustomed to being done manually. But currently, an automated fabric cutting machine is being employed. Therefore, it is easy to cut the fabric additional preciously than before.
In automatic fabric cutting, the working pattern is saved directly in the computer even while not creating marker paper. According to computer instruction, the automated cutting machine automatically and accurately cuts multiple plies of fabric concisely.
Today's modern cutting systems are equipped with a vacuum system. It enhances cutting accuracy during the cutting process. Modern Cutting Room Equipment helps to cut fabric accurately and reduce maximum fabric wastage.
Apparel manufacturing houses can use various cutting technologies in the modern cutting room, such as computer-controlled cutting, lasers cutting, water jets, plasma, even ultrasound. These cutting machines are adopted by contemporary manufacturing houses to be suitable for multi-ply cutting fabric.
Why Automation in Fabric Cutting Room is Essential?
Apparel manufacturers houses face versatile challenges in this pandemic, such as labor shortage, shortening lead product times and shrinking margins, and so on. Modern technology in the cutting room will provide a competitive advantage over manual ones.
Time to production is the most crucial factor now. And apparel manufacturers have realized that the more the human resources involved in the chain, the more are the chances of errors and delays. An increasing number of manufacturing houses recognize that automation cutting technology can overcome serious challenges.
Benefits of Automated Cutting Room:
- Reduce 50% material costs.
- Increase productivity and fabric cutting ratio.
- Reduce workforce and eliminate the need for skilled cutters.
- Accelerate the productive sewing process.
- Helps to utilize Maximum valuable floor space.
- Advanced Integrated data sharing saves time and money.
- Easy to Analyze and improve the cutting process with automatic metrics.
There is no alternative modern solution other than an automatic cutting system. With these automatic cutters, cutting is smoother effective and provides the manufacturer with the best option suited to their need.
The Future of Automation in Manufacturing Houses
Fabric is always soft and challenging to handle and manipulate. It requires complex motions to adjustments. Therefore, full automation in cutting has never been genuinely possible.
But it can be improved by using AI, cameras, sensors, mapping technology, and software-driven algorithms; sewbots can adjust or stop as required. Technological advancements and automation are drastically transforming how apparel is produced. Automation in the Fabric cutting room is the desired necessity for every manufacturing house to get enough productivity and efficiency in the near future.
If you have any questions about What is the function of the cutting room? Ask on the comment section we will try to come with up a new blog about it.


Pataky Name History
The Hungarian Language is quite distinct from its Germanic and Slavonic neighbors, and is of Finno-Ugric rather than Indo-European origin. Thus, it is related to Finnish. Nevertheless, the strongest cultural influence in historical times has been German, and the pattern of Hungarian surnames is similar to that found in Germany and Austria. Hungarian surnames are placed before rather than after the given name. A few surnames that are relatively common in Hungary are not in fact of Hungarian linguistic origin; they represent Magyarized forms of German and Slavonic names imported from neighboring regions.
The Hungarian surname Pataky is of locative origin. Locative surnames are those names which derive their origin from a particular feature, either man made or natural, near which derive the original bearer lived or held land. In this instance, the surname Pataky is derived from the Polish word "potok", meaning "stream". Thus, the surname Pataky was the name given to someone who lived by a brook or stream. Pataky is the Hungarian form of the name. Variants of this surname include such names as Patak, Pataki, Potok, Potocki, and Potucek.
References to this surname or to a variant include a record of the Pataky family who were a very large and noble family of Hungary. A specific blazon of arms was granted to one Johann Pataky in 1703.

Integrate mailparser.io and Smartsheet
This integration via app automation platform Zapier will let you automatically create Smartsheet rows from new emails parsed by mailparser.io. It's a simple way to keep from copying and pasting your email data into Smartsheet.
Automated connections called Zaps, set up in minutes with no coding, can automate your email workflows from mailparser.io to Smartsheet. Each Zap has one app as the **Trigger**, where your information comes from and which causes one or more **Actions** in other apps, where your data gets sent automatically.
Add Smartsheet rows from emails parsed by mailparser.io
Here's what you'll need to get started:
- Authorize Zapier to connect to your mailparser.io account and access your data. Log in to mailparser.io and navigate to your inbox. Choose "Webhooks" in the left menu and then add a new "Zapier Integration". Then, copy the URL from the Zap builder and paste it into the "Zapier Webhook URL" field.
- Make sure your mailparser.io inbox has at least one existing email and test your Trigger by clicking, "OK, I did this". This will pull in test data to help you complete the setup of your Zap.
- Next, you'll create your Action step, sending your parsed email data to Smartsheet. Enter your Smartsheet credentials to connect your account to Zapier and choose which sheet to send the parsed data to.
- This is the most important step of setting up your Zap. You're telling Zapier what to do with the data it's grabbing from your parsed emails. Use the drop-downs in each Smartsheet field to map the parsed data to Smartsheet.


Question: What Is Veal Parmesan Made Of?
What cut of meat is veal parmesan?
Veal is known for its tender texture and delicate flavor, and can be purchased in many of the same beef cuts you're probably already familiar with–roasts, chops, ribs, ground and cutlets. For Veal Parmesan, we'll be using veal cutlets or veal scallopini.
What is a veal cutlet?
Veal cutlets are thin, boneless portions of meat taken from the leg of the animal. Treat veal cutlets how you would any other thin, breaded cutlet (like chicken breast or pork). Season well and use a three-step breading process (flour, egg, then breadcrumbs).

What animal is veal?
Veal is the meat from calves, mostly pure-bred male dairy calves. In many countries, including the UK, veal production is closely linked to the dairy industry; male dairy calves cannot produce milk and are often considered unsuitable for beef production.
How are calves killed for veal?
Calves raised to make veal are severely confined. Veal calves live the entirety of their short lives in " veal crates," wooden crates that severely restrict the calves ' movement. These crates are typically only 2.5 feet wide at most and have slatted wooden floors.
Is veal really a baby cow?
What is veal? It is the meat of a baby cow, a calf that has been starved to death so that the meat is pale pink, almost white. The veal calf industry is among the worst of all the kinds of intensive animal agriculture.
What is the most tender cut of veal?
The Veal Tenderloin is one of the most tender cuts on the animal. It is lean and therefore needs to be cooked quickly at a high temperature to maintain moisture. Whole tenderloins can be roasted or grilled and barbequed. Veal Tenderloin portions are cut from a Denuded Tenderloin.
Does veal taste different than beef?
But how does the meat taste different? Well, veal is slightly more tender than beef, due to the muscles not being worked for as long as the muscles of beef and it has a much more delicate flavour. Veal is actually easier for our bodies to digest than beef is because of how much more tender the meat is.

Asian Self-Employment: The Interaction of Culture and Economics in England
Self-employment has grown disproportionately amongst South Asians. Today, one third of Asian men in paid employment are self-employed, compared to one fifth of white men. In some parts of the UK, Asian businesses are expanding more rapidly than those of any other group. Yet these positive trends mask a more complex and less optimistic picture than is commonly painted. There are sharp differences in levels of business success between various groups in the Asian community, and indications suggest that the remarkable growth seen over recent decades is losing its momentum, as the first generation British Asians encourage their children to move into professional and salaried careers.
This study offers, for the first time, a detailed comparison of different Asian communities, and challenges the common assumption that all Asian groups can be regarded as the same. Amongst its findings, it identifies:
- ways in which culture and religion could impact on entry into self-employment, on the development of the business and on satisfaction with self-employment
- how negative factors such as racism at work and 'dead-end jobs' have led to increased levels of self-employment
- barriers to success in business, and how specific problems are more prevalent amongst specific Asian groups
- the need to target assistance, and
- evidence that Asian self-employment may not continue at its current high rates.

This paper studies the characteristics of Mai Jia's spy fiction. Placing it under the global map of spy fiction as a genre, this paper evaluates the uniqueness and contribution of Mai Jia to this genre. It identifies two themes of Mai Jia's works: The truth of history does not necessarily have the only answer, and individual's growth may not develop through a rational way. The main characteristics of Mai Jia include that he provides different perspective of certain event through various methods such as letters and interview; The unexpected ending of the story creates a dramatic effect of the uncertainty of life; The texts deconstruct the holy revolutionary discourse with the vernacular emotion and everyday practices. Through these methods, Mai Jia succeeds in overthrowing the tradition of Chinese spy fiction in the 1950s.

Meander is a noun that refers to a bend in a sinuous or winding river. Wikipedia notes,
...in Classical Greece the name of the river had become a common noun meaning anything convoluted and winding, such as decorative patterns or speech and ideas [...] Strabo said: "... its course is so exceedingly winding that everything winding is called meandering."
Thus, one might refer to a route as a meander, although the adjectival form meandering is more frequently heard.
Some related adjectives include circuitous, roundabout, tortuous, winding, serpentine, crooked, sinuous, snaky. Some of these are also used as nouns; for example, serpentine meanings include "coiled distillation tube". One might plausibly call a winding route a serpent.
One could also say, "It's rather an excursion" to indicate that a route is unnecessarily roundabout.

Abstract The ecological impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) on phenological events such as reproductive timing is increasingly recognized. In birds, previous experiments under controlled conditions showed that ALAN strongly advances gonadal growth, but effects on egg-laying date are less clear. In particular, effects of ALAN on timing of egg-laying are found to be year-dependent, suggesting an interaction with climatic conditions such as spring temperature, which is known have strong effects on the phenology of avian breeding. Thus, we hypothesized that ALAN and temperature interact to regulate timing of reproduction in wild birds. Field studies have suggested that sources of ALAN rich in short wavelengths can lead to stronger advances in egg-laying date. We therefore tested this hypothesis in the great tit (Parus major), using a replicated experimental setup where eight previously unlit forest transects were illuminated with either white, green, or red LED light, or left dark as controls. We measured timing of egg-laying for 619 breeding events spread over six consecutive years and obtained temperature data for all sites and years. We detected overall significantly earlier egg-laying dates in the white and green light versus the dark treatment, and similar trends for red light. However, there was a strong inter-annual variability in mean egg-laying dates in all treatments, which was explained by spring temperature. We did not detect any fitness consequence of the changed timing of egg-laying due to ALAN, which suggests that advancing reproduction in response to ALAN might be adaptive.
Artificial light at night, in interaction with spring temperature, modulates timing of reproduction in a passerine bird

On the integrity of domination in graphs.
This thesis deals with an investigation of the integrity of domination in a.graph, i.e., the extent to which domination properties of a graph are preserved if the graph is altered by the deletion of vertices or edges or by the insertion of new edges. A brief historical introduction and motivation are provided in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 deals with kedge-( domination-)critical graphs, i.e., graphsG such that )'(G) = k and )'(G+e) < k for all e E E(G). We explore fundamental properties of such graphs and their characterization for small values of k. Particular attention is devoted to 3-edge-critical graphs. In Chapter 3, the changes in domination number brought aboutby vertex removal are investigated. \ Parameters )'+'(G) (and "((G)), denoting the smallest number of vertices of G in a set 5 such that )'(G-5) > )'(G) ()'(G -5) < )'(G), respectively), are investigated, as are'k-vertex-critical graphs G (with )'(G) = k and )'(G-v) < k for all v E V(O)). The existence of smallest'domination-forcing sets of vertices of graphs is considered. The bondage number 'Y+'(G), i.e., the smallest number of edges of a graph G in a set F such that )'(G- F) > )'(0), is investigated in Chapter 4, as are associated extremal graphs. Graphs with dominating sets or domination numbers that are insensitive to the removal of an arbitrary edge are considered, with particular reference to such graphs of minimum size. Finally, in Chapter 5, we-discuss n-dominating setsD of a graph G (such that each vertex in G-D is adjacent to at least n vertices in D) and associated parameters. All chapters but the first and fourth contain a listing of unsolved problems and conjectures.

If you've ever been to an ocean, you've probably seen sand dollars on the beach or in souvenir shops. You may have even seen live sand dollars moving around on the sandy ocean floor. But what exactly are these creatures?
Sand dollars — sometimes called sea cookies, snapper biscuits, sand cakes, cake urchins or pansy shells — are species of flat, burrowing echinoids that belong to the order Clypeasteroida. Sand dollars are related to sea urchins, sea cucumbers and starfish.
When sand dollars are alive, they live in shallow coastal waters along the sandy ocean floor. Unlike the white color of dead sand dollars, live sand dollars are usually green, purple or blue. Some people think live sand dollars look like fuzzy cookies!
Live sand dollars are covered with a dense, velvety layer of short spines and tubular feet. They use these spines and tubular feet to burrow into the sand and move around.
You may have noticed that sand dollar skeletons feature a pattern that looks like a flower. This pattern is where the live sand dollar's tubular feet are located. In addition to helping the sand dollar move, these tubular feet also help direct food found on the ocean floor to the sand dollar's mouth.

AbstractThe complexity of ozone (O3) formation mechanisms in the troposphere make the fast and accurate modeling of ozone very challenging. In the absence of a process model, principal component analysis (PCA) has been extensively used as a data-based monitoring technique for highly correlated process variables; however conventional PCA-based detection indices often fail to detect small or moderate anomalies. In this work, we propose an innovative method for detecting small anomalies in highly correlated multivariate data. The developed method combine the multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) monitoring scheme with PCA modelling in order to enhance anomaly detection performance. Such a choice is mainly motivated by the greater ability of the MEWMA monitoring scheme to detect small changes in the process mean. The proposed PCA-based MEWMA monitoring scheme is successfully applied to ozone measurements data collected from Upper Normandy region, France, via the network of air quality monitoring stations. The detection results of the proposed method are compared to that declared by Air Normand air monitoring association.

Thermal Load Reduction of Truck Tractor Sleeper Cabins 2008-01-2618
Several configurations of truck tractor sleeper cabs were tested and modeled to investigate the potential to reduce heating and cooling loads. Two trucks were tested outdoors and a third was used as a control. Data from the testing were used to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model and this model was used to predict reductions in cooling loads during daytime rest periods. The test configurations included the application of standard-equipped sleeper privacy curtain and window shades, an optional insulated or arctic sleeper curtain, and insulated window coverings. The standard curtain reduced sleeper area heating load by 21% in one test truck, while the arctic curtain decreased it by 26%. Insulated window coverings reduced the heating load by 16% in the other test truck and lowered daytime solar temperature gain by 8°C. The lowered temperature resulted in a predicted 34% reduction in cooling load from the model. Modeling also predicted doubling cab insulation could reduce cooling load by 35% and up to 54% with the sleeper curtain closed. Infrared images of the truck cabs identified other potential areas to reduce heat loss that included areas around window and door seals, at body and structural seams, and areas where insulation may be lacking around air circulation ducts.

The Environmental Interpretation Centre is located on the shores of the Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo on São Jorge Island on the Azores archipelago of Portugal. The islands are very remote and located smack dab in the middle of the Atlantic and not particularly well-known, but are quite beautiful. The government is trying to increase tourism and education of their parks and the Centre is one of their projects to aid that effort. The Centre will help provide information on the area, serve as an education center on the local environment, support architectural heritage and serve as a center to further study the local flora and fauna.
Design work began on the Environmental Interpretation Centre in 2007 with construction starting in 2009. The original property features a one story stone building, which was used as the foundation for the reconstruction. This building was faithfully restored using the original plans, but adding a second story and then an additional building behind it. The main building serves as the education center and the building behind is a temporary apartment for visiting researchers. Thick stone walls act as thermal mass to slow the transfer of heat and keep the interior comfortable. Deep window wells provide natural light but minimize heat gain. In the future a campsite will be created and the Interpretation Centre will serve as its headquarters.

Definition: gloomy or having a generally downcast personality
Synonyms: gloomy, sullen, depressed, melancholy, moody, sulky
Antonyms: cheerful, upbeat
Tips: Morose can refer to a specific gloomy mood, but it more often refers to someone who is unhappy and sullen in general. Morose is related to sullen. When you refuse to speak to or acknowledge someone because you are irritated or in a bad mood, you're being sullen. Morose refers more to being withdrawn, depressed, bitter and gloomy. For a memory trick, note how morose sounds like "more rose" or "no rose." Now, think of providing someone with "more roses" to cheer them up if they are morose. Or consider that someone who is morose may have received "no roses" in his or her life and that is why they are morose.
Usage Examples:
A quiet, morose man, he was never close to anyone. (sullen, depressed)
She could tell by his morose expression that he was unwilling to speak with her. (sulky, moody)
She always seems so sad and morose. (depressed, moody)
His morose attitude toward life did not make him popular with his peers. (sullen, melancholy)

Behavioral health carve-out arrangements create financial disincentives for primary care providers (PCPs) to treat depression. A novel collaboration between a primary care practice, a health insurer, and a managed behavioral health organization (MBHO) allows PCPs to receive reimbursement and schedule longer appointments to care for depressed patients. This article describes the details of the arrangement, and early results of this collaboration. Early results find that financial incentives are critical for implementation, but that time incentives do not appear to motivate PCPs. Sustainability of this model will require participation of multiple primary care practices, health insurers, and MBHOs.

Cocoon Source Resolving
Differences between Cocoon and Avalon Excalibur Source Resolving
This story tries to list the changes between the two source resolving approaches. Originally, the source resolving was developed in the Cocoon community. As the community recognized that it had a more common value, the source resolving was donated to the Avalon Excalibur project and there it was refined and redesigned. Now the way back takes place by reintegrating the Avalon Excalibur Source Resolving into Cocoon and deprecating the now obsolete Cocoon Source Resolving.
The Interfaces
Besides the package names the main difference is that the Cocoon Source object is XMLizable, that means it can directly send SAX events. The AE Source object is not XMLizable, which is more correct as a protocol only describes the way of transport but not the format of the data which is transfered. Therefore it provides a getMimeType() method.
The Cocoon Source object returns a last modified time stamp which is very limiting. For example a source could have an expires date or something like that. The AE Source returns a validity object which is capable of all these validity checkings. So the information used for validity checking is provided by the source object and not maintained by the client of the source as it is currently in Cocoon.
As we in Cocoonland are dealing a lot with XML, a Source implementation can still implement the XMLizable Interface (from AE and not from Cocoon!) to directly provide SAX events. The Cocoon SourceUtil class has a method toSAX() which gets a Source object and tests if it implements the XMLizable interface. If not the new AE XMLizer is used which is a component that can convert an input stream with a given mime-type to SAX events. This component is configurable and extensible.

There is no partial initialization in C. An object either isn't initialized at all, or it is fully initialized. {0} explicitly initializes the first member to 0 and implicitly initializes (to 0) all other members. – pmg Jun 28 '11 at 9:02

With matrix test1 = { 0 } you will initialize test1 with all zero's and with matrix test1 = { { 0 } } You will initialize test1.data. with all zero's in this case it does the same actually since you don't have any other data definitions in your struct :)

That means, if I had another member in the struct then, using { { 0 } } wouldn't initialize the second variable as zero? But, that doesn't happen, however I use single or double, all are being initialized with zero! – iamcreasy Jun 28 '11 at 8:36
