Is there a specific difference in performance between an OS installed on a Virtual Box and an OS installed locally on a computer?
Is there any formula so that I could know what is lost when you install an OS in a virtual box.
For example, if you assigned 512Mb of memory in a virtual box os. But it is actually 256Mb when compared to its performance when it is installed locally.
Please, I need the information because we're making a comparative analysis on operating systems. And I can't just install Sabayon Linux, it might ruin the 3 other os that I have already installed.

Given the number of variables involved (everything from caching efficiency to what programs are running your host OS) it is practically impossible to know the exact difference theoretically. However, I would do the following to determine this experimentally without affecting my current install;
 1. Purchase an identical harddrive to what you currently have installed in your computer.
 2. Remove the current harddrive you have so you don't mess up any of your currently installed stuff.
 3. Install the OS's that you are analyzing to that harddrive -- note, they MUST not be installed in different partitions and the drive should be zero'd between changing the operating systems (this more closely simulates how it might look under virtual box -- i.e. a fresh drive).
 4. Perform your benchmarking for each OS
 5. Put your old harddrive back in
 6. Fire up VirtualBox and install each OS, perform your benchmarking for each OS.
 - If you are trying to do a high-quality comparative analysis, you HAVE to do the comparison from each individual OS ON the hardware.
 - Make sure you pick a good set of benchmarking software that doesn't bias toward one thing or another to heavily. And if you do bias toward something heavily (RAM usage perhaps?) make sure you get enough samples that the aggregate data is meaningful.
 - Ensure the software running on your host os is the same AND minimal during your benchmarking process for each OS you sample
 - I would recommend defragging your harddrive between installs of the OS's under virtualbox, this will help ensure the virtual disk will be more contiguous on disk

There is, actually, a specific difference.
In a virtual machine, the hardware that the OS thinks it's running on is not real.
Whereas in a local, bare-metal OS, the hardware that the OS thinks it's running is, by and large, actually physically present.

ahh, this is not very accurate. CPU, RAM, hard disk is all very REAL, network controllers, graphics and sound are emulated. – Molly7244 Feb 20 '10 at 3:31
hard disk is definitely not real, actually; while some VMs can present raw disk access to their guest OS, running a guest on a virtual HDD (eg /my/VMs/foo.vdi) is very common. – quack quixote Feb 20 '10 at 3:50
while a container is used, the action certainly happens for real on your HDD and if your disk is noisy enough might be able to hear it actually :P – Molly7244 Feb 20 '10 at 3:59
one could say the same about any emulation -- even though the graphics is emulated, the VM desktop still shows up on my monitor; even though the sound is emulated, the VM media player still plays thru my speakers. doesn't change the fact that my guest OS thinks it has a VBOX HDD and is displaying to an "Innotek...VirtualBox Graphics Adapter". – quack quixote Feb 20 '10 at 4:24
_USER_ - i'm sorry, my comment was not using "emulation" in the technical sense described by those documents, and you're right, by that definition VirtualBox is not an emulator. i was referring to the fact that the guest OS sees virtual hardware instead of real hardware in most places. yes, the CPU runs the guest OS code natively (though even CPU features available to the guest can be restricted, eg number of cores). on my testbed VirtualBox guest, the CPU (and possibly RAM, not sure) is the only real hardware the guest knows about -- everything else is virtual/emulated/fake. – quack quixote Feb 20 '10 at 12:34

10 Common Questions for Pop Warner Parents
Signing your child up for Pop Warner football is exciting and overwhelming at the same time.
Like any new adventure, playing Pop Warner football will come with lots of questions. Will my child be safe? How big are the kids playing on my child's team? When can I register? What league will my child play in?
Here are some frequently asked questions first-time Pop Warner parents ask, and some answers to get you started as your child embarks on a great experience.
Is there a league in my area?
Pop Warner has football leagues in 42 states from coast to coast, so chances are there's one in your area. Visit Pop Warner's league finder web page to find information--including contact information and web addresses--of the Pop Warner league near you.
When are sign-ups?
It depends on the league, but usually are in the spring and summer months. Check the website of your local league for more information.
What are the different age groups?
Pop Warner has opportunities for players ages 5-15, and they are separated into nine divisions. The youngest, the Tiny-Mite division, features children ages 5-7. The Bantam division features 13-15 year olds with 16-year olds welcome if they are light enough.
My child has a birthday during the season. How does that affect age placement?
With Pop Warner games being played in the fall, the organization has set up a specific guideline: A child's age on July 31st is his/her age for the entire season. So if your son turns 10 on August 1st, he will still be considered a 9-year old for registration purposes.
Does my child's weight matter?
Yes, it does. Pop Warner combines age restrictions with weight restrictions to make an age/weight scale. It is as follows:
 - Tiny-Mite: Ages 5-7. Must be between 35 and 75 pounds.
 - Mitey-Mite: Ages 7-9. Must be between 45-90 pounds.
 - Junior PeeWee: Ages 8-10 must be between 60-105 pounds. 11-year olds are accepted if they weigh between 60-85 pounds.
 - PeeWee: Ages 9-11 must be between 75-120 pounds. 12-year olds are accepted if they weigh between 75-100 pounds.
 - Junior Midget: Ages 10-12 must be between 85-135 pounds. 13-year olds are accepted if they weigh between 85-115 pounds.
 - Midget: Ages 11-14 must be between 105-160 pounds. 15-year olds are accepted if they weigh between 105-140 pounds.
 - Junior Bantam: Ages 12-14 must be between 120-170 pounds. 15-year olds are accepted if they weigh 120-150 pounds.
 - Unlimited: For 12-15 year olds who weigh more than 170 pounds.
 - Bantam: Ages 13-15 year olds who weight 135-185 pounds. 16-year olds can play if they are between 135-165 pounds.
For more information, check out Pop Warner's Age/Weight structure web page.
Are there any other requirements?
Pop Warner demands academic excellence among its participants. Players must receive a 2.0 grade-point average (or 70 percent average) in school to participate. Exceptions are made through Scholastic Eligibility Forms, which are filled out by that child's school to determine whether Pop Warner football would be beneficial to that child.
Are there tryouts?
No. Everyone is allowed to participate and play. All you have to do is sign up.
Is my child safe playing organized football?
Though injury is always possible in any sport, Pop Warner is quick to point out that injury rates are significantly lower in youth football than in high school or college football. That's partly because of Pop Warner's strict age/weight scale that makes sure all the children are playing against players their own size.
Studies have shown that organized football among children produces fewer injuries than soccer.
How many games will my child play?
The regular season schedule is usually between seven and nine games, between late August and late October. Playoffs will follow in certain divisions, and the best teams will play in the Pop Warner Super Bowl in Florida in early December.
If my child isn't the best player on the team, will he/she just sit the bench all season?
Not at all. Pop Warner has mandatory rules of play that requires everyone be able to participate. That means that every player will get in for several plays every game.

(SOLVED) What is the difference between President Obama's net worth and the mean net worth of all members of the Executive Branch?
Type of Paper: Question-Answer
Academic Level: Undergrad. (yrs 3-4)
Paper Format: APA
Obama's Net Worth As of this writing, Barack Obama is President of the United States and he has a net worth of $3, 670, 505. The 17 members of the Executive Branch have a mean net worth of $4, 939, 455 with a standard deviation of $7, 775, 948 (based on data from opensecrets.org). What is the difference between President Obama's net worth and the mean net worth of all members of the Executive Branch? How many standard deviations is that (the difference found in part (a))? Convert President Obama's net worth to a z score. If we consider "usual" amounts of net worth to be those that convert to 2 scores between - 2 and 2, is President Obama's net worth usual or unusual?
Obama = _PHONE_
EB = _PHONE_, sd = _PHONE_
a) The difference is _PHONE_ -_PHONE_ =-_PHONE_
b) as the Sd is _PHONE_, and the difference is _PHONE_,where SD > Difference
so it lies within 1 standard deviation
c) We know the Z score formula is
Z = X- Mean /SD = (_PHONE_ - _PHONE_ )/_PHONE_ = -0.1631
d)as this z value of -0.1631 lies between -2 and 2, hence the value is normal and usual

Why do some people get violent after boozingDecember 16th, 2008 - 6:17 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Dec 16 (ANI): Have you ever wondered how generally calm people suddenly turn violent after downing a drink? Well, Finnish researchers have got the answer for you: it''s caused by an over active gene which triggers aggression.
Finnish researchers have found that drinking and MAOA gene can help predict impulsive violent behaviour in men.
The monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene is an outer membrane mitochondrial enzyme that breaks down monoamines such as serotonin, noradrenalin and dopamine.
A common polymorphism in MAOA results in highor low-activity MAOA that has been linked to aggression and violence.
The researchers have found that drinking and high-activity MAOA can predict the risk of impulsive violence, while aging may decrease this risk.
Roope Tikkanen, a researcher in the department of psychiatry at Helsinki University Central Hospital and corresponding author for the study and his colleagues decided to look at the MAOA gene, alcohol consumption and aging as predictors for recidivism in impulsive violent behavior among a sample of 174 Finnish alcoholic male offenders originally recruited between 1990 and 1998.
Each offender was given a psychiatric assessment; in addition, their alcohol consumption was measured, their violent behaviour was assessed, and they were genotyped for polymorphisms of MAOA.
"Increased alcohol consumption and aging seem to predict violence," said Tikkanen, "although these risk factors "work" in opposite directions, and only concern individuals who have been given by nature a high-activity variant of MAOA."
He said additional research has suggested that individuals with low-activity MAOA seem to be at risk for criminality and violence after exposure to severe childhood maltreatment.
"People react quite differently to acute alcohol exposure," Tikkanen said.
"Most individuals become relaxed and talkative, while some particularly persons who are introverted while sober become expansively extroverted and aggressive.
A dramatic change from a normally introverted personality to extroverted aggressiveness and uncontrolled behaviours under the influence of alcohol was formerly called "pathological intoxication" in Finland," he added.
Tikkanen suggests that high-activity MAOA offenders may be helped to control their violent behaviours by coaching to maintain alcohol abstinence, and possibly by psychopharmacological treatment to increase central serotonin levels.
The study will be published in Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research and are currently available at Early View. (ANI)

Dogs kill swans more often than swans kill dogs, experts say
Interfering with swans during nesting season is a criminal offence
Swans are fiercely protective parents and they see a dog as a predator
Every year there are several reports of swans being killed by dogs - but it is virtually unheard of for a swan to kill a dog, according to Birdwatch Ireland.
In the aftermath of an incident in Bushy Park on Saturday, in which a dog was killed by a swan, experts have moved to reassure the public that not only are such attacks highly improbable, they only happen when there is a perceived threat to young cygnets.
In the incident at the weekend, a cocker spaniel was swimming in the duck pond in Bushy Park, Terenure near a group of swans and cygnets when an adult swan broke away and attacked the dog, killing it.
"[Swans] are fiercely protective parents and they see a dog as a predator," explained Niall Hatch of Birdwatch Ireland.
"It's important that swans are given peace and quiet around the nesting season (which occurs during the summer months)."
In Ireland the most common swan type is the Mute swan, which are largely well accustomed to humans, whom they associate with food. By comparison the migrant Whooper and Bewick's swans are unlikely to interact.
Male Mutes grow up to 20 kilograms in size, about as large as possible for a flying bird, and they can strike out with their wings. Before doing so, however, they will hiss a warning to steer clear, generally in defence of their cygnets or nests.
Mr Hatch said his organisation receives about four to five reports every summer of swans being killed by dogs but he has never heard of it happening the other way round.
Measured response
Not only are swans a protected species, but it is a criminal offence under the Wildlife Act to interfere with them during the nesting season.
Eric Dempsey, bird expert and author, said a measured response is required to Saturday's attack - both to alert the public to the fact young cygnets are in the water, and to ward off any extreme reaction.
Although swan attacks, similar to those of seagulls, make headlines when they occur, they are considered extremely rare and are an aspect of natural protective behaviour.
"A swan would see a dog as a perceived threat, as a predator. Any animal will protect their babies," said Mr Dempsey. Dogs, experts say, should be kept out of the water during the summer months if swans are in the area.
Mr Dempsey stressed the birds are defensive, not aggressive, and will readily lead their young to humans in order to receive food. Any approach to their nest, however, can provoke a response.
A blow from a swan's wing is similar to getting slapped, said Mr Dempsey, who has himself been on the receiving end while working with the birds.
"There is a myth that swans will break your arm - I have never met or heard of a person who had their arm broken by a swan."
Attacks are rare, at least in terms of public reporting, but when cases do emerge they capture the public interest and are widely reported.
In 2001, 71-year-old Mary Ryan from Dublin lost her compensation claim against the State when she was beaten to the ground and battered by a swan in the Phoenix Park. She broke her wrist in the incident.
Ms Ryan said that having fed the swan, she heard a fluttering of wings behind her. "When I turned around I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He was coming for me. He knocked me to the ground," she said. "He continued to aggressively beat my legs and tried to peck me in the head."
In a case in the US in 2012, Anthony Hensley (37) drowned in Chicago after being knocked from his kayak by a swan, which then stopped him swimming ashore.
"It [WAS] presumably a male swan and it's presumably paired, and it's set up home for the spring," Chris Perrins, a retired Oxford ornithologist, told the BBC at the time. "It's going to defend that territory."
In 2014 there were reports of a swan, subsequently named Asbo, attacking boats and flying directly at humans on the River Cam in Cambridge.
However, despite the potential for such behaviour, Dr Michael Brooke of the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge said the birds pose "no danger at all" to adult humans.
"I suppose it could be an issue for elderly people or a two-year old, but if you see your child in danger you can just pick them up and walk away," he said.
"People think of them as intimidating because they have a wide wingspan, but then some people are intimidated by spiders in the bath."

Yes, the minimum age to parasail is 6 years old. Participants under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign their liability waiver prior to boarding the vessel. Minimum weight required to parasail is roughly 90 pounds. If the flyer is less than 90 pounds, they will simply fly tandem with someone not to exceed roughly 450 pounds combined weight. Weight requirements may change on any given day due to the wind conditions. Again, safety is number one.

In times of grief, organizing a funeral can pose a significant challenge, both emotionally and financially. If you happen to be in California, specifically Los Angeles, you might ask, "how much is a funeral in California?" In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the intricacies of expenses associated with funerals in the Golden State, with a special emphasis on Los Angeles.
How Much is a Funeral in California
Funeral Expenses in California
Funeral costs exhibit notable variations based on multiple factors, including location, service type, and individual preferences. On average, a funeral in California typically ranges from $7,000 to $12,000 or more. This comprehensive figure encompasses crucial elements like the acquisition of a casket, embalming services, and professional fees. Although, there are services like direct cremation that can be much less expensive, and take much less planning.
Geographic Considerations: California's elevated cost of living often reflects in funeral expenses. Major urban centers like Los Angeles often feature higher funeral costs compared to rural areas.
Funeral Services in Los Angeles
As one of the largest and most densely populated cities in the United States, Los Angeles has its unique considerations when it comes to funeral expenses.
- Funeral Homes in Los Angeles: The city boasts a range of funeral homes, each offering diverse services and pricing structures. Some funeral homes cater to specific cultural or religious needs, which can influence costs. For instance, regions with a higher concentration of cultural communities may have distinct pricing models.
- Cemetery Expenses: The choice of cemetery can substantially affect overall funeral costs. In Los Angeles, numerous cemeteries have their own pricing structures. Some may offer scenic views, while others carry historical significance. These factors can impact the overall cost.
Los Angeles Funeral Costs
When looking into funeral expenses in Los Angeles, you may come across related topics that provide detailed information:

- Los Angeles Burial Expenses: If you opt for burial, understanding the costs associated with acquiring a cemetery plot in Los Angeles is crucial. Costs can vary depending on location and cemetery.
Factors Impacting Funeral Costs in California
- Individual choices play a significant role in funeral expenses. Whether you opt for a traditional burial, cremation, or an eco-conscious burial can affect overall costs. Additionally, decisions regarding the choice of casket, funeral service arrangements, and memorial items can contribute to expenses.
Location and Cemetery Selection:
- As mentioned earlier, location and the choice of cemetery can significantly influence costs. In Los Angeles, renowned cemeteries may command higher prices due to their prestige and limited availability.
- Funeral expenses encompass various fees, including professional services, transportation, and permits. Comprehensive inquiry about potential expenses during funeral planning is essential to prevent unexpected financial burdens.
Funeral Planning in Los Angeles & California
To alleviate the financial burden of a funeral, consider pre-planning or pre-paying for arrangements. Many Los Angeles funeral homes (including Clarity) offer pre-planning options that allow you to lock in today's prices, ensuring your preferences are met when the time comes.
Cultural and Personalized Funerals in California
Los Angeles is known for its cultural diversity, and this diversity often leads to personalized and unique funeral ceremonies that celebrate an individual's life in various ways. Different communities may have distinct funeral customs and preferences, which can influence the type of service and associated costs.
- Cultural Traditions: Various cultural communities in Los Angeles have their own ways of honoring and remembering the deceased. These traditions can range from music and dance performances to specific rituals or ceremonies. It's important to work with a funeral home that can accommodate these cultural preferences.
- Personalized Farewells: Many families in Los Angeles choose to create highly personalized and meaningful funeral services. These might include storytelling sessions, memorial videos, or the display of cherished items that reflect the person's life and passions. While these personalized services can be touching, they may involve additional costs, so it's crucial to plan accordingly.
- Green Burial Options: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in eco-friendly or green burial options. Los Angeles offers several green burial grounds where individuals can be interred in a more environmentally conscious manner. These options often come with lower costs compared to traditional burials, and they can be embraced by people from all walks of life.
In California, including Los Angeles, funeral costs can exhibit considerable diversity. Understanding the factors influencing these costs, such as location, personal choices, and cemetery selection, is vital when making decisions during a challenging time.

How Does Baby Feel?
Karen Katz, Author, Karen Katz, Illustrator
Karen Katz. Little Simon, $6.99 (14p) ISBN 978-1-4424-5204-6
Show other formats
Readers can guess the emotions that six rosy-cheeked babies are feeling in various situations in this characteristically well-executed lift-the-flap book from Katz. "Baby wants milk and crackers," Katz writes in the first scene, as an African-American baby in a floral top and diaper reaches for her bottle and a tray of goodies. "How does baby feel?" The answer appears underneath a large flap that lifts vertically and shows the same baby happily chowing down in her high chair. The formula repeats as Katz's babies demonstrate feeling happy, sad, silly, sleepy, and loved. A tidy and effective introduction to familiar emotions. Ages 1–4. (Jan.)

Alone Together, the Social Life of Benches illuminates the thoughts and memories of frequent users of two public spaces in London: General Gordon Square, Woolwich and St Helier Open Space, Sutton. Revolving around the micro-space of the humble bench, the emotional and experiential capacity of film is used to highlight themes such as the feeling of being in a space, the rhythm and flow of visitors to a place, and the importance of design for everyday street furniture.
The film acts like a stranger who joins you on a bench to 'watch the world go by', and break the ice by starting a conversation with their fellow bench user.

Serving youth and families of Maryland's First Judicial Circuit
First Judicial Circuit
Regional Program Manager
Nicole Higgins, Case Manager
Alison Bergeron, Case Manager
Myles Burgess, Case Manager
Alison Bergeron, Case Manager
The purpose of the Truancy Reduction Court Program (TRCP) is to improve school attendance and positively affect the youth and their family's attitudes about education through a nurturing approach. Every effort is made to ultimately build a relationship between the family, the school, and the court. Participation in the court's program brings families the added benefit and services of a court‐appointed case manager to determine the reasons for poor attendance, navigate school requirements, facilitate communication, and make referrals for community‐based services when appropriate.
Serving more than 259 youths and their families in the 2022 fiscal year, the TRCP is providing full-service truancy case management and utilizing a proactive approach designed to address the causes of truancy and improve the student's attendance, attachment, and achievement in the school environment. TRP serves as a proactive intervention rather than a punitive reaction.
Maryland's Truancy Reduction Program was first implemented during the 2001 school year. This problem-solving court was created to battle the oppressive volume of youth who were truant during that particular year. It has been widely noted that truant behavior is commonly linked to other forms of delinquency, thus leading to negative contact with law enforcement and subsequent incarceration.
In 2004, the General Assembly created the Truancy Reduction Pilot Program (HB1443) to serve the needs of students and families within Maryland's First Judicial Circuit. Codified at §3‐8C‐01 through §3‐8C‐10, the program, now simply known as the Truancy Reduction Court Program (TRCP), began in Wicomico County in December 2004. It continued to develop throughout the lower eastern shore with the additions of Somerset County (November 2005), Worcester County (January 2007), and Dorchester County (March 2007).
for Success in School and Life
- Set a regular bedtime and morning routine for your child.
- Lay out clothes, make lunches and pack backpacks the night before.
- Discuss the importance of school and attendance with your child.
- Follow the school's attendance policy for absence, late arrival, and early departure.
- Use email to submit absence notes directly to your child's school.
- Avoid appointments and extended trips when school is in session.
- Choose a school club or activity for your child to participate in for fun.
- Meet with your child's teacher or school counselor regularly.
- Download the school communication app to view attendance records regularly.
TRCP is a four-phase, six to nine-month program to engage with and help rehabilitate youth and families that have tolerated, fostered, or recently developed truant behavior by the youth.
Referrals to the Program are initiated upon the receipt of a truancy petition, filed by the local public school system in the county circuit court. The Program is not designed to supplant the initial administrative interventions taken by the local school system. The expectation of the court is that the local school system will continually make all available efforts to address unlawful absenteeism and barriers to attendance prior to the first appearance in court.
Families who have received a truancy petition from the court are encouraged to contact the truancy court case manager assigned to their county of residence.
The first appearance in court shall be for an adjudicatory hearing to determine if the youth is truant. The presiding magistrate shall inform the youth and their family of the purpose of the Program, the expectations of the Court, and deliver an age‐appropriate litany.
Most often immediately after a finding of truancy, the disposition hearing begins to uncover the reasons for truant behavior and determine the appropriateness of the youth and family for Program participation. Additionally, the Public School Liaison will share academic, conduct, and attendance history/challenges to allow the presiding magistrate a more holistic perspective of needs and relevant services.
Upon recommendation of the parties and Program staff, the presiding magistrate may order assessments and services as deemed necessary and the youth/family will formally enter the Program. All entries into the Program (even cases involving previous participants/graduates of the Program) begin at Phase One.
School Attendance in Maryland
Maryland law requires regular school attendance unless a student is excused with a lawful absence. This applies to youth who reside in the state and are five years and older up to the age of 18. Once a child has reached the age of 18, he or she is no longer required by law to be enrolled in school. Md. Code Ann., Educ., §7-301
Under Maryland law, a truant youth is one who is unlawfully absent from school for more than 8 days in any quarter, 15 days in any semester, or 20 days in a school year.
Md. Code Ann., Educ., §7-302.2
An absence, including absence for any portion of the day, for any reason other than those cited as lawful (below) is presumed to be unlawful and may constitute truancy.
Md. Code Regs. 13A.08.01.04
Students presently enrolled in public schools are considered lawfully absent from school, including absence for any portion of the day, only under the following conditions:
- Death in the immediate family. The local school system shall determine what relationships constitute the immediate family.
- Illness of the student. The principal or a pupil personnel worker shall require a physician's certificate from the parent or guardians of a student reported continuously absent for illness.
- Pregnancy and parenting-related conditions as determined by the local school system, including absences due to:
- Labor, delivery, recovery, and prenatal and postnatal medical appointments;
- Illness or a medical appointment of the student's child; and
- A legal appointment involving the pregnant or parenting student related to family law proceedings, including adoption, custody, and visitation.
- Court summons.
- Hazardous weather conditions. Hazardous weather conditions shall be interpreted to mean weather conditions which would endanger the health or safety of the student when in transit to and from school.
- Work approved or sponsored by the school, the local school system, or the State Department of Education, accepted by the local superintendent of schools or the school principal, or their designees as reason for excusing the students.
- Observance of a religious holiday.
- State emergency.
- Lack of authorized transportation. This does not include students denied authorized transportation for disciplinary reasons.
- Other emergency or set of circumstances which, in the judgment of the superintendent or designee, constitutes a good and sufficient cause for absence from school.

An Evaluation of Equipment-Independent Maintenance Training by Means of a Microprocessor-Controlled Videodisc Delivery System.
BATTELLE COLUMBUS LABS OH
Pagination or Media Count:
This is the final report on a project to operationally test and evaluate a microprocessor-controlled videodisc MPVD delivery system as a means of providing Equipment-Independent Maintenance Training Programs EIMTP in situations where low equipment density limits hands-on training andor high equipment cost make hands-on equipment training potentially uneconomical. Basic results of the test and evaluation indicate that EIMTP by means of MPVD delivery systems is an efficient alternative to the current equipment-dependent system of providing such training more efficient in terms of the amount of practice time required than the current equipment-dependent system and less expensive than the equipment-dependent system and therefore is a more cost-effective alternative.

A space is $F_\sigma$-discrete space if it is the countable union of closed discrete subspaces. Is it true that every subset of an $F_\sigma$-discrete space is of the type $G_\delta$?
share|improve this question
2 Answers 2
up vote 1 down vote accepted
The answer is yes. Suppose that $X$ is an $F_\sigma$ space as you have defined it, so that $X=\bigcup_n X_n$, where each $X_n$ is a closed discrete space. Suppose that $Y\subset X$ is any subset. For each $n$, note that $X_n-Y$ is closed in the discrete space $X_n$ and hence also closed in $X$, and so the complement $U_n=X-(X_n-Y)$ is open in $X$. Furthermore, $\bigcap_n U_n=Y$, since $Y\subset U_n$ and anything not in $Y$ is in some $X_n$ and hence thrown out of that $U_n$. So $Y$ is a countable intersection of open sets and hence $G_\delta$.
share|improve this answer
Yes, since closed discrete sets are hereditarily closed. Let $X$ be the space and $E_n$ the closed discrete sets, so $X = \bigcup\limits_{n=1}^\infty E_n$. Then given $S \subseteq X$, each $E_n \setminus S$ is still closed, so $S = \bigcap\limits_{n=1}^\infty (E_n \setminus S)^\complement$ shows that $S$ is a $G_\delta$.

These two metrics are not the same. The first metric is
$$ds^2 = dr^2 + r^2 d\Omega^2$$
while the second metric is
$$ds^2 = r_0^2 d\Omega^2$$
where $r_0$ is a constant, the radius of the sphere. These are different quantities; the spaces involved don't even have the same number of dimensions. The Riemann curvature of the former metric is zero, while the curvature of the latter is not.
You're correct to conclude that the first metric should have zero curvature, since it's related to Cartesian coordinates by a coordinate change and the curvature is a tensor. But this doesn't say anything about the second metric.
You might think the second case should be the same, because the sphere can be embedded into flat space. The geometrical difference is that vectors on the sphere must lie tangent to the sphere. That means that parallel transport on the sphere is not the same as parallel transport in the embedding space, since in the former case, we have to project the vector back down to the sphere after every step.


text: Background: Running has become a very popular mode for exercise in the United States. Unfortunately, many runners become injured as they train for long distance races. Developing a pre-training screen that predicts running injury would be beneficial. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if a select pre-training screen consisting of great toe extension, lower extremity reaches and thoracic spine mobility is associated with development of injury in runners training for a long distance race. Subjects: Twenty-two runners were recruited and qualified for the study. Seven runners were lost to attritionresulting in 15 runners (11 females, 4 males) between the ages of 21-45 who were training for either a half or full marathon that participated in the study. Methods: Demographic data including age, gender, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) were collected from all participants. In addition, great toe extension, combined thoracic rotation and sidebending, and multiplane lower extremity reaches were measured on runners prior to beginning their 12-week training program for a half or full marathon race. Each runner was asked to log their weekly training mileage and record any injury that may have occurred during the 12 weeks. Mean and standard deviation were calculated for each outcome measure. Independent t-tests were calculated for the three outcome measures between injured and non-injured groups. Alpha level was set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: Eleven of the fifteen runners did not incur injury during their training. Four of the fifteen experienced some type of lower extremity injury during their training. There was no statistically significant difference in the injured versus non-injured runners with regards to the outcome measures. However of interest, the injured runners were all females, slightly older (35.23 years), and had higher body mass (28.44).

The NFL's rules protect quarterbacks, and for good reason. There simply aren't enough of them who can perform at a high level.
The protections include preventing certain hits on quarterbacks and permitting certain behaviors aimed at allowing quarterbacks to avoid otherwise legal hits. The Panthers propose limiting the latter.
Specifically, Carolina has proposed a rule change aimed at expanding the definition of intentional grounding, on the basis that the current rule doesn't adequately prevent fouls.
Here's the current rule: "It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer,facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion. A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver. If a player intentionally throws a ball to the ground, it is intentional grounding, unless the receiver is surrounded by defenders on an attempted screen pass."
The proposal would remove this sentence: "A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver."
The only problem is that the revised rule would leave the term "realistic chance of completion" undefined. But maybe the wisdom of the proposal is that "realistic chance of completion" doesn't need to be defined. Maybe common sense should apply, since the current definition of "realistic chance of completion" is completely nonsensical.
A pass that "lands in the direction and the vicinity of an originally eligible receiver" doesn't necessarily have a "realistic chance of completion." A pass that has a realistic chance of completion has a "realistic chance of completion," and fans tends to know it when they see it.
As the rule is currently written and interpreted, the quarterback needs to do little more than spike the ball for intentional grounding to be avoided. So if the current rule is going to remain in place, why not just let a quarterback who is feeling the heat spike the ball?
That would make far more sense than the current rule, which lets the dart not just miss the board but fail to even strike the wall.

The defaultfile parameter specifies where data goes if it doesn't match any of the IP ranges. This could be /dev/null depending on your aims. The -i input parameter gives the file to take input from (default standard input). The -f file parameter must be given before the list of IP addresses. The spec parameter is the IP addresses that go to the file in question. It is of the form start[-end][:start[-end]] where start and end specify the start and ends of ranges of IPs. Also the CIDR notation can be used or a single IP address. If there is a large number of IP ranges then a file name can be given which contains a set of IP ranges, one range per line.
0 No errors 1 Bad parameters 2 Can't open input 3 Can't open/write to output file 4 Can't open and read from spec file

Wired Magazine is fascinated by the idea that seed pods can open up after they've been detached from the plant, i.e. after the tissue is "dead." It seems to me that lots of seed pods that open do so after they're "dead" but what do I know, I'm neither a botanist nor a reporter for Wired.
The article uses a Delosperma seed pod as an example of the "rare" phenomenon of dead plant "origami." Since succulents' cell structures can store lots of water, this example's seed pod can unfurl, i.e. open, when the rains come.
Seed capsule from the ice plant Delosperma nakurense in the hydrated, unfolded state. (M. J. Harrington).
Now, what about the fact that these unopened seed pods, or "fruit", are edible and often eaten by the birds?

QuickMap is normally installed by running setup off Disk 1, followed by Disk 2. However larger organisations may choose to install QuickMap automatically via a login script, SCCM or AD Software Deployment. The instructions below describe how QuickMap may be installed automatically for individual users via a login script.
To install Quickmap in silent mode, you will need to use the following command line switches:
INSTOPT="MINIMAL | TYPICAL"
These can be used on the Quickmap.msi found in the Release folder, to be run with msiexec with the /i and /qn switches.
After you have installed Quickmap, you will have to register it silently. To do this, see Step 3, below.
Here's an example of how to install Quickmap silently (note one is typical using no GUI, the other is minimal using a basic GUI):
msiexec /i Quickmap.msi /qn INSTOPT="MINIMAL" TARGETDIR="C:\Qmap"
msiexec /i Quickmap.msi /qb INSTOPT="TYPICAL" TARGETDIR="C:\Qmap"
Below is an example of a silent install of a client – server.
Step 1 – Setup the server
Do a full QuickMap install of your server PC in the standard way (e.g. to C:\QMap)
Step 2 – Client install
Share C:\QMap on the server to each client (e.g. to Z:), then for each client, do an unattended minimal install with the command:
msiexec /qb /l* qmaplog.txt /i Z:\Release\quickmap.msi INSTOPT="MINIMAL"
Where Z:\ is the shared folder on the server.
To do a full install, rather than minimal, the command would be
msiexec /qb /l* qmaplog.txt /i Z:\Release\quickmap.msi INSTOPT="TYPICAL"
Step 3 – Register QuickMap
Write your Registration Key Number to the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Qkey\Option\Default
This will result in the registration key be automatically displayed when QuickMap prompts the user to register the first time they run it. All the User has to do is click the Register button. They do not need administrator rights to successfully register QuickMap.
If autoregister.lic exists in the quickmap Data folder (e.g. Z:\Data) then QuickMap will register itself online without asking for any input from the user. A dialog box is displayed while this registration process is in progress.

Lets say I am using IMAP IDLE to monitor changes in a mail folder.
The IMAP spec says that IDLE connections should only stay alive for 30 minutes max, but it is recommended that a lower number of minutes is selected - say 20 minutes, then cancel the idle and restart.
I am wondering what would happen if the mail contents changed between the idle canceling, and the new idle being created. An email could potentially be missed. Given that RECENT is a bit vague, this could lead to getting a message list before the old idle ends, and a new idle starts.
But this is almost the same as polling every 20 minutes, and defeats some of the benefit of idle.
Alternatively, a new idle session could be started prior to terminating the expiring one.
But in any case, I think this problem has already been solved so here I am asking for recommendations.

As you know, the purpose of IMAP IDLE command (RFC 2177) is to make it possible to have the server transmit status updates to the client in real time. In this context, status updates means untagged IMAP server responses such as EXISTS, RECENT, FETCH or EXPUNGE that are sent when new messages arrive, message status is updated or a message is removed.
However, these IMAP status updates can be returned by any IMAP command, not just the IDLE command - for example, the NOOP command (see RFC 3501 section 6.1.2) can be used to poll for server updates as well (it predates the IDLE command). IDLE only makes it possible to get these updates more efficiently - if you don't use IDLE command, server updates will simply be sent by the server when the client executes another command (or even when no command is in progress in some cases) - see RFC 3501 section 5.2 and 5.3 for details.
This means that if a message is changed between the IDLE canceling and the new IDLE command, the status updates should not be lost, just as they are not lost if you never used IDLE in the first place (and use NOOP every few seconds instead, for example) - they should simply be sent after the new IDLE command is started.

Helllo i just got a firestorm black and decker 10 inch mitre saw off one of my buddies for free because he upgraded. I was looking at some videos (none for this saw) and i couldn't figure out how to get the blade off. i put a wrench on the nut and turned clockwise but i don't know if it a clockwise or counter clockwise nut can anybody help? (Black and Decker firestorm 10" mitre saw)
If the model number is correct, or even close to it, this may be useful for you:
Firestorm FS100L miter saw manual
From that link, I found this set of images that are sure to be useful:
blade change pictures
A bit more digging in the manual shows this text:
 1. Remove screw (A) Fig. 41 and rotate cover (B) to the rear (Fig. 42).
 2. To remove the saw blade, insert the hex wrench (C) Fig. 43 into the hex hole located on the rear end of the motor shaft to keep the shaft from turning.
 3. Use a wrench (D) Fig. 44 to loosen the arbor screw (E) by turning it clockwise.
 4. Remove the arbor screw (E) Fig. 44, the outside blade flange (B), and the saw blade from the saw arbor.
 5. Attach the new saw blade making certain that the teeth of the saw blade are pointing down (Fig. 44). Place the outside blade flange (F) on the arbor, and attach the arbor screw (E) by turning it counter-clockwise using the wrench (D). At the same time, use the hex wrench (C) Fig. 43 to keep the arbor from turning.
 6. Rotate the cover back to the front and replace the screw that was removed in STEP 1.
WARNING:Remove wrenches (C) Fig. 43 and (D) Fig. 44 before starting machine.
Step 3 confirms reverse thread on the bolt holding the blade, turn clockwise (analog, not digital) to loosen.

 - that last warning is priceless! – agentp Jan 7 '18 at 2:48
 - Turning right or left would depend on if the handle is at 12 o'clock position or 6 o'clock position that's why we use cw & ccw. Other than that it is a good answer. – Ed Beal Jan 7 '18 at 12:16
Easy to remember I think, you loosen the screw turning in the blade's cutting direction. Typically clockwise for miter saws and counter clockwise for hand held circular saws. They need to be that way so the motor doesn't tend to loosen the screw while cutting.

The Negative Effect of Policy Restrictions on Consumers' Post-purchase Reactions to Price-Matching Guarantees
Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science
Price-Matching Guarantees (PMGs) are a mechanism by which retailers can reassure consumers of the competitive price of products they offer. While current research in marketing has studied consumers' pre-purchase perceptions of the retailer as a result of offering price-matching guarantees, research on the post-purchase impact of PMGs has been relatively limited. While price-matching guarantees are typically assumed to result in positive consumer perceptions of the retailer, no study to date has examined the potentially negative post-purchase impact of PMGs. This paper examines the potential negative effect of policy restrictions which may prevent the disbursement of a price-matching refund, on consumer perceptions. Two experiments (Experiment 1 n*=*120, Experiment 2 n*=*50) are utilized to dissect the impact of policy restrictions on consumers' perceptions of service quality, price, and loyalty. The paper concludes with a discussion of the managerial implications of the findings on price-matching guarantee policies

Southern Blind SnakeScientific name: Anilios australis
Meaning of name: The meaning of Anilios is not known. Australis is Latin meaning southern.
Distribution: Occurs throughout the southwest of Western Australia from north of Geraldton to near the South Australian border.
Description: The body colour can be from a purplish-brown to purplish-grey to pink with a cream belly. They can grow to 42cm long.
Notes: This is the most common blind snake in Perth. They shelter beneath rocks, stumps, logs and rubbish. They eat only ants and termites, meaning they are harmless to humans. Blind snakes use an unpleasant odour produced from their anal glands to deter predators.

You can provide custom behavior for your script tool dialog box, such as enabling and disabling parameters, providing default values, and updating string keywords. By adding Python code, you can do the following:
- Update a parameter filter. Using a field filter, you can create a list of valid field types, such as LONG and DOUBLE. With a string filter, you can set a list of valid keywords. There are six types of filters: Value List, Range, Feature Class, File, Field, and Workspace.
- Provide default values for parameters, such as cell size for rasters.
- Customize warning and error messages that appear on the dialog box.
- Enable or disable a parameter based on values contained in other parameters.
When a parameter is disabled, it will disappear from view on the tool dialog box, and when reenabled, it will reappear. This effect is seen on several system geoprocessing tools such as the Add Field tool where the need for several parameters is dependent on the field type.
- Put parameters in different categories. Categories are expandable window shades with a collection of parameters.
- Update the description of output datasets for use in ModelBuilder. By updating the description, subsequent tools in ModelBuilder can see pending data characteristics prior to any tool being run.
How validation works
Validation is performed with a block of Python code that geoprocessing uses to control how the tool dialog box and Python window change based on user input. System tools (those provided by Esri) have always had the capability to react to user input and subsequently modify the tool dialog box as described above.
Validation means checking that all tool parameters are correct and providing useful messages if they are not. There are two parts to validation:
- The part that you can do by adding code.
- The part that ArcGIS does automatically for you. This part of validation is referred to as internal validation (or basic validation), since it is the basic validation done internally by geoprocessing in ArcGIS.
First, take a look at what internal validation does:
- If a parameter is required, check whether it's empty (nothing entered yet) and, if so, post the Value is required message to the tool dialog box.
- Check that the value the user entered is of the right type (for example, entering a raster instead of a feature class or alphabet characters instead of a number).
- Check filter membership; that is, if you have a Value List filter containing keywords, such as RED, ORANGE, and YELLOW, and you enter BLUE, you'll receive an error message, because BLUE isn't found in the Value List filter.
- Check existence of input datasets.
- Generate a default catalog path for output datasets.
- Update the description of the output data based on a set of rules contained in the special object, Schema.
- Check existence of output datasets against the overwriteOutput environment setting. If the dataset exists and overwriteOutput is false, an error is produced; otherwise, a warning is produced.
- If the parameter is a Field data type, check that the field exists in the associated table.
- Check that the output dataset isn't the same as the input dataset (unless the output is derived, like Add Field).
- For parameters containing linear and areal unit data types, set their default values by examining the corresponding values in ArcGIS Pro (if running from ArcGIS Pro).
- If the output is a coverage, grid, or INFO table, check the 13-character file name limit for these datasets.
Internal validation doesn't do the following (but you can with your own validation code):
- Update filters based on interaction with other parameters. For example, if your user enters a point feature class in the first parameter, you want your tool dialog box to display RED, ORANGE, and YELLOW in the third parameter. If a polygon feature class is entered, you want to display BLUE, INDIGO, and VIOLET in the third parameter.
- Enable/Disable parameters.
- Calculate default values.
- Perform any tool-specific parameter interaction.
The code you add works in concert with internal validation as follows:
- You can provide a set of rules that internal validation uses for updating the description of output datasets. These rules are contained in a Schema object.
- You can update filters before internal validation occurs. Drawing on the example above, if a point feature class is entered, you would update the filter to contain RED, ORANGE, and YELLOW. Internal validation checks the value the user entered against the values found in the filter.
You can have your validation code calculate default values, enable and disable parameters, and customize messages. These types of actions have no consequence for internal validation; they only affect the appearance of the tool dialog box.


North east pet owners urged to record cat activity
Cat owners are being asked to record what their pets catch in terms of small animals. Picture: Complimentary
Have your say
PET owners are being urged to record precisely what their cats drag in as part of a pioneering project to record the species of mammals spread across the north east of Scotland.
The bizarre survey has been launched to help in the creation of a Mammal Atlas for Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray and the Cairngorms National Park.
Cat owners across the area are being asked to record the various animals their beloved felines bring in through the cat flap. And the survey organisers are even planning to host two "Look What the Cat Brought In" events to help moggy owners to identify the various mammals.which have fallen prey to their pets.
A spokeswoman for Aberdeenshire Council explained: "The North East Scotland Biological Records Centre (NESBReC) is compiling the Mammal Atlas for 2015 but is appealing for help from local walkers, pet owners and animal lovers.
"Small mammals are particularly under recorded and taking a note of what the cat catches and takes home is a very useful way of compiling the data."
She added: "A survey by the Mammal Society in 2001 found that the average household cat can catch up to 40 creatures a year. Mice tend to be the most popular mammal prey, followed by voles and shrews. Larger mammals, such as rabbits,weasels, stoats and squirrels were also recorded. Cats can roam up to over half a mile away each night and have a home range of 28 hectares (70 acres).
"Records of the animals that cats have caught could be the only way for NESBReC to get information on mammals in certain areas."
Councillor Isobel Davidson, the chair of Aberdeenshire Council's Education, Learning and Leisure Committee, said:"The Mammal Atlas is an important project for the north-east of Scotland and I am glad to see NESBReC coming up with interesting and engaging ways for people to get involved.
"It might be unpleasant when the cat brings an animal into the house, but now at least it can be a useful indicator of the mammals living in your area."
Glenn Roberts, the NESBReC manager, said: "We really welcome everyone in the North east of Scotland to get involved in the creation of a Mammal Atlas. The most common species are often overlooked, and even if you have never looked at mammals before, it is easy to get involved in recording wildlife and photos are always welcomed."
Pet owners are being asked to record what species their cat dragged in, and where and when they saw it.
The spokeswoman added: "Pictures can be sent to NESBReC even if you are not sure what the mammal is."
NESBReC is a partnership between Aberdeenshire Council, Aberdeen City Council, Scottish Natural Heritage, the University of Aberdeen, the RSPB and Forestry Commission Scotland.

Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which faith-based preschools promote spiritual development in preschoolers. The participants in the study were faith-based early childhood teachers and administrators from seven states. Early childhood professionals representing 11 Christian faith traditions completed written surveys or online surveys. A total of 201 faith-based educators completed the survey; 20 respondents participated in semi-structured interviews. The concurrent triangulation mixed-method design provided data on 8 program dimensions which support children's spiritual development: prayer, Bible literacy, worship, building character, service opportunities, assessment, parental involvement and context. I analyzed quantitative data using descriptive and inferential statistics. All items were examined using mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentages. Qualitative data gathered from semi-structured interviews were coded and analyzed using NVivo8® qualitative analysis software (QSR International, Inc., Cambridge, MA, _URL_). From this data I identified the extent to which faith-based preschool programs support children's spiritual development through the practices of prayer, Bible literacy, worship, building character, service opportunities, assessment, parental involvement and context. Data analyses revealed statistically significant differences in faith-based teachers' hours of training in children's spiritual development across all program practice dimensions. A key finding of the study was that training in children's spiritual development...

Sculpture Surface Gloss Requirements and Measurement
From:Linshang Time:2020/03/24 10:30:00 Browse:143
The gloss and color of the sculpture surface are two important appearance characteristics. If the sculpture surface lacks gloss, it will appear dull and old. In order to control the appearance quality of the sculpture, its glossiness needs to be measured with gloss tester.
1. What does the surface gloss of a sculpture mean?
It is often said that the surface gloss of a sculpture is the reflection under the condition that its surface is rough. The reflected light has a clear directionality, which is generally called specular reflection. Use this property in optical materials to achieve a variety of applications. However, the surface of most materials is not completely smooth, so when the light hits the rough sculpture surface, a considerable diffuse reflection occurs.
2. Sculpture surface gloss requirements
Different sculpture products have different requirements for their surface gloss. Manufacturers need to strictly control the gloss quality of products according to customer requirements.
 For urban sculpture, it is an art exhibition that records the history and culture of the city. In order to obtain a better appearance, strict requirements are required for its surface gloss and color. Whether the gloss is too high or too low, it will affect the overall display effect. To accurately evaluate the surface gloss of a sculpture, a special instrument is needed for measurement.
3. Gloss tester measures the surface gloss of sculptures
To measure the surface gloss of a sculpture, a gloss tester is used. Most gloss testers measure the specular reflectance of the object surface, that is, the specular gloss.
 Linshang LS192 gloss tester has real-time temperature compensation function. No matter what temperature environment, it can ensure the stability of the instrument, making the measurement results stable and reliable.
gloss tester
When using a gloss tester to control the surface gloss quality of a sculpture, users need to specify the measurement angle used by the instrument. Customers use the same instrument to measure and then compare the measurement results. The general angle on the market is a 60-degree angle. Like the general-purpose 60-degree gloss tester LS192 from Linshang Technology, the measurement range reaches 1000GU. High-gloss and low-gloss materials can be tested because gloss is a relative value. When there is no uniform standard in the industry, the LS192 gloss tester can be used for testing. If the industry has a uniform standard, it is best to use the same angle gloss tester for testing. Therefore, when selecting the measurement angle, you should choose differently according to different situations.
