Yes this is quite possible take a look at the "MotionDetection" example provided with EMGU this should get you started.
Effectively the code that removes the foreground is effectively named "_forgroundDetector" it is the "_motionHistory" that presents stores what movement has occurred.
The example has everything you need if you have trouble running it let me know,

Long Distance Correlations in Wind Power
The fact that wind patterns are coherent over large regions means wind power intensity is similar in whole countries. In particular wind generation falls to near zero frequently over whole countries and whole regions of Europe.
Although everybody knows wind fluctuates dramatically in one location, it seems to be a common belief that local lulls are compensated by generation somewhere else in the country so that overall wind generation stays high. This is not in reality the case and this page gives extensive plots as evidence for this.
Correlations between onshore and offshore wind in same country
(Generation data averaged over 1 day)
it can be seen that the correlations between onshore and offshore wind are very high for small countries (Denmark and Belgium) and lower but still very significant for larger countries (United Kingdom and Germany).
The correlation increases for averages over longer periods so the short distance plots above have averages over 1 day while those below have averages over 3 days. While the longer term averages increase the overall correlation the fraction of points wth nearly zero wind generation is reduced.
Correlations between all wind power in different countries
(Generation data averaged over 3 days)
Table of Pearson Correlation Coefficients for wind generation between countriesThe table shows the correlation between wind generation is high between neighbouring countries and decreases with increasing geographic separation.
These strong correlations mean that exchanges between adjacent countries cannot use wind electricity because the peaks and valleys are the same.


Shadow-free light guaranteed. Unlike traditional multi-bulb surgical lights, HyLite 6 series produces light with perfect shadow reduction. It achieves this using only one bulb attached to a parabolic reflector composed of thousands of facets which function like miniature mirrors. Every facet receives light and projects it onto the operating field. Light rays projected from every facet make up a light column that is uniformly projected on every corner of the operating field, thus ensuring a shadowless field, even if a surgeon is standing directly under the light.
 - HyLite generates minimized disturbance in two ways: firstly, it features a smooth outline that hides the encircling grips; secondly, it consumes so little power that the warming effect on the outer surface is extremely low
 - HyLite employs a state-of-the-art reflector to produce a perfect light column that presents a depth of illumination up to 1,200mm (L1+L2, as defined by IEC 60601-2-41)
 - HyLite has two identical bulbs, one in operation and the other standing by. If the bulb in use fails, HyLite will switch to the backup bulb in 0.2 seconds and and move it into the working position. A surgeon will not perceive any difference in either illumination or light field center

"How many ways can the letters in the word SLUMGULLION be arranged so that the three L's precede all the other consonants?"
My work is below: Can someone also solve this ONLY using the multiplication rule, permutations, and permutations with repetitions?
We have 3 L's and the other 4 consonants are S,M,G,N. That is, our consonants are LLLSMGN, call them all X for the moment. Then we have XXXXXXXUUIO. The number of arrangements of these letters is $\frac{11!}{7!2!}$. Hence the answer is $4!*\frac{11!}{7!2!}$ since there are $4!$ ways to arrange the 4 consonants other than the L's.

Hmm, I got the same answer as you. – JohnJamesSmith Mar 26 '12 at 2:12
Your reasoning is correct. I also solved the problem a different way (using combinations) and got the same answer. – Brett Frankel Mar 26 '12 at 2:47
1 Answer 1
Your argument is fine (as previously noted), and there's probably no significantly better approach to counting them.
If you want to double-check your result, here's some GAP code which can list all the possibilities.
for P in T do
 # where the last L is
 # where the first non-L consonant is
 if(b>a) then
and it found 95040, matching your result $4! \frac{11!}{7!\ 2!}$.

1. Does Singapore have its official Sign Language?
Singapore does not have its own official sign language. Nonetheless, since the 1950s, we DO have our own unique Sign Language, which makes our community unique as Deaf Singaporeans. That's our Singapore Sign Language.
Our Singapore Sign Language (SgSL) is derived from old Shanghainese Sign Language (SSL), American Sign Language (ASL) and signs of Signing Exact Language II (SEE2). Also, our localized signs are developed over time to align along with our Deaf Culture These unique signs are designed for many words unique to Singapore, like Clementi, Marina Bay Sands, and the Esplanade!
You can find out more about our SgSL from the comprehensive WIKIPEDIA.
Please note that our workshops and courses are taught by Deaf. It is led by Lily Goh who has her (at least) 20 years' experiences in teaching Sign Language. You are strongly encouraged to put what you have learnt from the Deaf communities into constant practice.
2. Are the workshops and courses open to members of the public?
Yes, they are open to members of the public who are hearing. We also accept deaf and hard-of-hearing students who wish to learn Sign Language.
Students who are aged 12 and above can apply for our workshops and courses. However, we need to formulate another curriculum for students aged 11 and below.
You need to start from Deaf Introductory Workshop, to Visual-Gestural Communication Workshop, to Basic Communication Levels 1-3 Courses. At this moment, we have our plans to develop and run the Intermediate & Advanced Communication Courses.
3. Can I arrange for the private tuition to learn Sign Language in my own pace? What is the Private-Track mode for Basic Communication Levels 1-3 courses?
Yes, you can learn Sign Language in your own pace, but it is at the best convenience and schedule of the instructor and student. This is the Fast-Track mode for the courses, and it is like a private tuition. The minimum/maximum time period for each session is 2 hours.
Charges* range below:
 - BCLevel 1: S$50.00 per 1 hour per pax
 - BCLevel 2: S$70.00 per 1 hour per pax
 - BCLevel 3: S$100.00 per 1 hour per pax
*Includes transport and other expenses.
4. Is there any assessment in each level of Basic Communication Courses?
Yes, each level has three graded quizzes, and exams. The quizzes are scheduled on Lessons 3, 5 and 7. The exams takes place on the last lesson/session. Please note that Basic Communication Course Levels 1-3 are different from Visual-Gestural Communication (VGC) Workshop as the workshop enables you to develop a better understanding (and practicum) of incorporating gestures in our daily communication through VGC. There is not any graded assessment in the VGC Workshop.
5. Will I get a certificate upon my completion of Basic Communication Course Levels 1-3?
Yes, you will get a Certificate of Completion on the last lesson after you have successfully completed the course with at least 50% pass in the assessment for each level. However, note for our Visual-Gestural Communication Workshop that you won't get any certificate as this does not involve any graded assessment.
6. I have learnt the Level 1 from other schools, such as the Singapore Association for the Deaf. Can I take the Basic Communication Level 2 instead?
Please note that we have our own curriculum that may be different from other training centres/schools. However, you are strongly encouraged to go for our Visual-Gestural Communication Workshop (at the beginner level). This may be on a case-by-case basis. You can drop us an email for a further discussion.
7. Where are your workshops and courses conducted?
We do not have a physical/permanent location. Once the application quota is met, we rent classrooms at Blk 261, Waterloo Street, Level 4 for our courses. The nearest MRT is Bras Basah MRT (Exit A). However, the Deaf Introductory Workshops are conducted at the Disabled People's Association _USER_ Point upon its availability. It has its limited space; it accommodates up to 12 people.
UPDATED AS OF JUNE 2020: In the light of COVID-19, our courses & workshops are conducted via ZOOM. The maximum class size is 8.
8. Can I pay cash on the first lesson?
No, cash payment is not acceptable. We accept online payment for better accountability. The payment shall be made prior to 7-9 working days before the first lesson. Please read the terms & conditions in the application form before you agree to submit it online.
9. Can I use my SkillsFuture Credit to pay for courses/workshops?
We regret to inform you that we have yet to become one of the training providers with SkillsFuture. Note that this business is solely run by Deaf; the one-person operation.
10. Where is the schedule for workshops and courses?
You can find the schedule at this webpage and scroll down to the schedule. Or you can go to our Facebook Page for more updates.
UPDATED AS OF 2017: We are unable to render our services at this moment till further notice.
1. How do I use a sign language interpreter?
The interpreter's job is to facilitate communication between SgSL users and users of spoken language(s), such as English, Mandarin. The interpreter will not give opinions, advice, or support to either party; however sometimes she may ask for clarification to understand what is being said. The interpreter will sit or stand opposite the deaf person and near the main speaker. When you are speaking, talk directly to the deaf person and not to the interpreter. The interpreter will watch the deaf person's signs, and her response will generally be in first person tense. You may see the interpreter using available graphics or handouts to support her interpretation. If you have any questions or concerns, relay them to the interpreter. We are willing to work with everyone involved to meet any needs that arise.
2. Why do I need a team of two interpreters?
Assignments lasting 2 hours or longer in length of time require 2 interpreters to be hired as a team. The reason for this case is to minimize interpreter fatigue. Research shows us the work of understanding one language, analyzing the overt and covert meaning of the language and also the necessary cultural mediation, and then applying the same process to produce an equivalent meaning in a second language, is a very mentally taxing task. After 1 hour of continuous work, the brain becomes fatigued and the quality of the interpretation suffers; errors and omissions rise.
3. Are your interpreters qualified enough for any assignment?
We regret to inform you that there is no association for sign language interpreters in Singapore. There are 6 full-time sign language interpreters in Singapore, and they are from the Singapore Association for the Deaf that is seen as a national body for deaf and hard of hearing people. However, we believe in our quality of service we render you or your organisation for the assignments.
4. When will I have the confirmation for the interpretation service?
Normally, we inform the requestor in 3 working days prior to the appointed date. We reserve the right to reject applications/requests at our own discretion. To avoid any disappointment, we encourage you to book our service online at least 9 working days in advance.

The Smallest Analog Computer Ever Made?!
By James Grahame
From the early 1960s brochure: "Donner's Model 3500 is a full-fledged analog computer weighing just 28 lbs. Designed for engineers, educators and scientists, it can be used to study almost any physical system that can be described by differential equations. It can be operated on desk tops and benches by anyone who can run a slide rule. The standard 3500 contains 10 amplifiers, stabilized or unstabilized as the user chooses. The computer performs accurately with 1% or 0.1% computing components, and is furnished ready-to-work for $1850, depending upon specific equipment desired."
Fast forward 50 years, and I'd much rather have a Macbook. It's astounding to realize just how far we've come in the past half century; the Donner 3500 used vacuum tubes and was anything but simple to use. These days, you could create a comparable analog function generator using a variety of solid-state op amps and buffers that cost only a few cents each.

Georgiana Cavendish – Duchess of Devonshire
Below is the detailed biography of Georgiana Cavendish, the Duchess of Devonshire in the Regency Era. She was a known style icon, political organizer and author. She was born into the Spencer family of English nobility. She was the most talked about Duchess of England with regards to her many love affairs and gambling habits.
Early Life of Georgiana Cavendish
A portrait of Georgiana Cavendish – Duchess of Devonshire
Georgiana Spencer, as was her birth name was born on the 7th of June in the year 1757 to John Spencer, a British peer, and politician and his wife Georgiana who later came to be known as Countess Georgiana. She was born in Althorp, Northamptonshire. Georgiana had two younger sisters. The family lived in St James, London.
Georgiana was the closest and dearest to her mother as compared to the other two children. In 1765, her father became Earl Spencer.
Adult Life and Marriage of Georgiana Cavendish
A portrait of William Cavendish – 5th Duke of Devonshire
Georgiana was only 17 years old when she married the most eligible bachelor of the Regency Era – William Cavendish who was 25 years old. He was a British nobleman, a politician, an aristocrat. He was also one of the most powerful men in England along with being wealthy which made them a good match.
However, these two had very little in common and were hardly ever seen together on social occasions. He was known to have various affairs outside the marriage and was unable to have Georgiana produce a child. The Duke had a former illegitimate daughter before his marriage. He also had a former partner Lady Elizabeth Foster who later became a close friend of Georgiana Cavendish.
A portrait of Lady Elizabeth Foster
Even after the Duke and Lady Foster had separated, they were known to have shared certain sexual relations. Later, they had two illegitimate children.
Duchess Cavendish was absolutely unhappy with this marriage. According to the customs in Regency England, a woman could not take a lover until she had produced an heir. She had two daughters – Georgiana Dorothy and Harriet Elizabeth. In 1790, she gave birth to a baby boy – William George Spencer Cavendish who grew up to be a bachelor duke all his life.
Georgiana Cavendish and Charles Grey
A portrait of Charles Grey, also known as the 2nd Earl Grey
It is believed that Duchess Cavendish, after the birth of her son was involved in a love affair with Charles Grey. Charles Grey, who was later known as the 2nd Earl Grey. He was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1830 to 1834. He was a noble and famous man in London. While there is no concrete evidence that Earl Grey and Duchess Cavendish were involved in a 'love affair', she became pregnant by him in 1791.
She was sent off to France for her childbirth. Her health was extremely poor and everyone believed that she would die during childbirth. However, the child was well born and was called Eliza Courtney and she belonged to the Grey family.
While in France, she lived in complete isolation and was usually depressed as she was separated from her other children and family members. In the end, she denied her love for Charles Grey and went back to England to her husband and children.
Georgiana Cavendish as an Activist
Georgiana's family was a supporter of the Whig party. She lived during times when there was a realization of woman suffrage and empowerment. She was an influential woman and the first woman to come out as a political activist in her time.
She inspired women to promote the Whig party.
Georgiana Cavendish in Literature
She was a writer and poet during her time. Some of her works were published anonymously. Her very first published writing was 'Emma; Or, The Unfortunate Attachment: A Sentimental Novel' which came out in 1773. In 1778, she published 'The Sylph' anonymously. In the last years of her life, she published 'The Passage of the Mountain of Saint Gothard'.
Georgiana Cavendish in Gambling
After returning to England from France, she was much involved in taking care of her husband who suffered from gout. In 1796, she suffered from illness in her eyes, the operation of which resulted in her scarring face. Rapidly, her health began to decline and debt began to increase.
During her decline in health, she became addicted to gambling. She was in her forties back then. It is also said that once she begged her mother for 100 pounds and told her that she was suffering from jaundice.
Later, it was found out that she was genuinely sick and suffering from a liver disorder.
Later Life and Death of Georgiana Cavendish
She spent her last years in sickness. She died at a young age of 48 on March 30th, 1806. She was surrounded by her children, her mother, and her husband. She was buried at the family vault in All Saints Parish Church.
Her life was an example of the life of a noblewoman of England, a roller coaster of emotions and outburst and a result of various decisions.
There were many film portrayals on her life like the 'The Divine Lady' in 1929 and 'Berkeley Square' in 1933.

DAB Transmission System Simulation
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the radio digital system developed as an european standard by the ETSI, EN 300 400, based on the Eureka-147 group works, to improve the performance of the analogue radio systems (AM and FM). The system is based on the OFDM technology which allows DAB to exploit the spectrum frequencies in a better way with a higher quality of sound for mobile receivers specially. The main part of the OFDM system is based on the FFT algorithms to spread the data flow over different orthogonal carriers. The simulation has been developed in SimulinkTMand MatlabTMand the layout designed follows faithfully the standard for the transmission system. The simulation can be reloaded by the user with the information presented in this thesis. Thus, this work can be continued to complete the DAB whole system simulation. The results obtained running this simulation show the main DAB system characteristics.

Instruction selection is the part in a compiler that transforms IR code into machine code. Instruction selectors build on a library of hundreds if not thousands of rules. Creating and maintaining these rules is a tedious and error-prone manual process.
In this paper, we present a fully automatic approach to create provably correct rule libraries from formal specifications of the instruction set architecture and the compiler IR using template-based counter-example guided synthesis (CEGIS). Thereby, we overcome several shortcomings of an existing SMT-based CEGIS approach, which was not applicable to our setting in the first place.We propose a novel way of handling memory operations and show how the search space can be iteratively explored to synthesize rules that are relevant for instruction selection.
Our approach synthesized a large part of the integer arithmetic rules for the x86 architecture within a few days where existing techniques could not deliver a substantial rule library within weeks. With respect to the runtime of the compiled programs, we show that the synthesized rules are close to a manually-tuned instruction selecto... mehrr.


Optical Measurement of Granite Tranches.
Automatic contour recognition
In association with Kusser Aicha Granitwerke FORWISS has developed an optical measuring system for granite plates. The informations on these so called tranches are saved in a relational database system. During the measuring process the system will automatically recognize parts of the tranche that were marked as defective by simply covering the surface with painted tiles.
In addition a colored picture of a small part of the tranche will be shot in order to classify the surface color and structure of the granite tranche. This picture will also be stored in the database.
Kusser Aicha Granitwerk - ball spring
On the basis of the database proper tranches could be chosen by a salesclerk to simplify customer requests. To do this, it had been necessary to implement intelligent search functions, an estimation and optimization of the production waste and the value of the remaining tranche, and the possibility of comparing the surface collor of different tranches
The whole software system can be controlled with a modern interactive user interface and leads to efficient storage administration and quality assurance in a middle class company.

On the meteorological characteristics of polluted air masses at Barrow, Alaska
- Cite this article as:
- Raatz, W.E. PAGEOPH (1982) 120: 662. doi:10.1007/BF00876651

Anthropogenic derived pollution episodes at Barrow, Alaska occur when air masses under anticyclonic influence emanate from the Arctic Basin. The high frequency of above-normal wind speeds and the only slightly above-normal pressures characteristic of these Arctic air masses suggest that pollutants are transported to Barrow along the periphery of the Arctic anticyclone within a zone of rapid transport.

The story
By making this project you will learn how to read the data from the various sensors available on the ENV Shield, and you also learn how to visualize data on the widgets available in the Arduino Cloud.
What you need
The project requires an Arduino MKR WiFi 1010, the MKR ENV Shield, a battery pack (or other mean of powering the boards) and an account on Arduino IoT Cloud:
 - The core of the project is the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010. This board handles computation and communication thanks to its SAMD21 microcontroller and the on-board NINA-W10 module, capable of WiFi and BLE;
 - The battery pack is connected to the MKR WiFi 1010 and is used to power the device when an alternative power supply is not available;
 - The MKR ENV Shield is an Arduino MKR shield which featuring environmental sensors to measure temperature, humidity, pressure, light and UV.
 - Access credentials are needed to connect to the WiFi network.
The hardware configuration is relatively simple: it only requires the MKR WiFi 1010, a MKR ENV Shield and a battery pack.
MKR WiFi 1010 with MKR ENV Shield and a battery
MKR WiFi 1010 with MKR Shield and a battery
Align the MKR WiFi 1010 and ENV shield making sure that the labeled pin connectors are matching
Carefully plug the MKR ENV Shield in the MKR WiFi 1010 connector
The battery pack should be plugged into the designated connector on the MKR WiFi 1010:
Code structure
There's two main parts to the code required by this project: the skeleton template generated by Arduino IoT Cloud APIs to display data received from the MKR WiFi board and the Arduino MKRENV library which allows us to read values measured by all its sensors:
 - Our Arduino IoT Cloud Thing will be configured to hold six properties which will represent all the measurements acquired by the MKR WiFi 1010 and sent over a secure connection.
 - The Arduino sketch is first auto generated by IoT Cloud and handles connection to the Internet as well as data transfer between our Thing and the board, we'll then add the Arduino MKRENV library to manage the ENV Shield sensors.
The first code section is used to include the libraries required by our application. The thingProperties.h includes all the WiFi connection functionalities and cloud connection management; the only information required from the user are the credentials necessary to establish a connection with a WiFi network (SSID and PASSWORD).
Arduino IoT Cloud authenticates the connected device using a key stored inside the board's crypto-chip during the Getting Started process, guaranteeing data transmission over a secure channel.
The Arduino_MKRENV library includes all that is needed to read values measured by each sensor on the MKR ENV shield.
 1. _TAG_ "thingProperties.h"
 2. _TAG_
As usual, the setup section allows us to initialize all the objects used by the sketch, including Arduino IoT Cloud and its properties. ArduinoCloud.begin() makes sure that our board is prepared to connect and exchange data with the Dashboard:
 1. void setup() {
 2. // Initialize Serial and wait for port to open:
 3. Serial.begin(9600);
 4. // This delay gives the chance to wait for a Serial Monitor without blocking if none is found
 5. delay(1500);
 6. // Defined in thingProperties.h
 7. initProperties();
 8. // Connect to Arduino IoT Cloud
 9. ArduinoCloud.begin(ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection);
 10. /*
 11. The following function allows you to obtain more information
 12. related to the state of network and IoT Cloud connection and errors
 13. the higher number the more granular information you'll get.
 14. The default is 0 (only errors).
 15. Maximum is 4
 16. */
 17. setDebugMessageLevel(2);
 18. ArduinoCloud.printDebugInfo();
 19. if (!ENV.begin()) {
 20. Serial.println("Failed to initialize MKR ENV shield!");
 21. while(1);
 22. }
 23. }
The last bit of code is the loop where we query each sensor on the MKR ENV Shield. After each reading the sketch updates the properties variables and thanks to ArduinoCloud.begin() data is synced with the cloud:
 1. void loop() {
 2. ArduinoCloud.update();
 3. // Your code here
 4. humidity = int(ENV.readHumidity());
 5. lux = int(ENV.readIlluminance());
 6. pressure = int(ENV.readPressure());
 7. temperature = int(ENV.readTemperature());
 8. uva = int(ENV.readUVA());
 9. uvb = int(ENV.readUVB());
 10. uvi = int(ENV.readUVIndex());
 11. delay(1000);
 12. }
How to set up and use
Connect all the parts together, then connect your MKR WiFi 1010 to the computer and log onto your Arduino Cloud account.
You need to follow the procedure explained in the Arduino Cloud Getting Started and create the properties as specified in the following table, remembering that each name is case sensitive:
These are the values to use in each widget using the form that pops up every time you add a new widget
Each time you add a new widget you are required to fill a form like the one below.
Follow the table above to fill in all propertiess details
If you filled each property correctly, you should end up with something like this:
This is the list of widgets used by this project
When all the properties are created, click on the button edit code. You will be redirected to the Arduino Create Web Editor where you'll replace the main sketch in the first tab with the following code:
 1. /*
 2. Sketch generated by the Arduino IoT Cloud Thing "env_shield"
 4. Arduino IoT Cloud Properties description
 5. The following variables are automatically generated and updated when changes are made to the Thing properties
 6. int humidity;
 7. int lux;
 8. int pressure;
 9. int temperature;
 10. int uva;
 11. int uvb;
 12. int uvi;
 13. Properties which are marked as READ/WRITE in the Cloud Thing will also have functions
 14. which are called when their values are changed from the Dashboard.
 15. These functions are generated with the Thing and added at the end of this sketch.

History of Albion River Bridge
Posted: 07/09/2014
Albion River Bridge July 2001, shot at the bay side at very low tide
The first permanent bridge that crossed the Albion River was a draw bridge which allowed the logging tugboat "Zenith" access up the river. This bridge was a part of the first county road that connected the lumber towns together. The bridge is long gone now but the wood members of the bridge pillar are still exposed in the South bank across the river. The old county road crossed Albion Flats where the road is today but it no longer has the sawmill at 18 feet above ground covering it.
As traffic increased, the county constructed a new wood bridge that crossed just up river. This bridge is seen in the upper half of the above photograph east of the sawmill. The bridge was 512 feet long and 16 feet wide with no wheel guards on the sides. Two of the three bridge footings were in the water and are still visible in the river east of the campground. In August 1933, the bridge and road became a part of the state highway system, subject to state maintenance. Soon after the state took over the road maintenance, the declared the bridge as badly worn from overloaded traffic and started the design of a replacement bridge. When the state was ready for materials, World War II had started.
A prolonged battle with the War Resources Board ensued over allocation of the needed steel. California finally prevailed and started construction on the existing bridge in 1942. The final plans allowed for just enough steel to reinforce the two concrete pillars and to build the 130 foot long truss between them. The rest of the bridge is specially treated redwood. Specifications for the bridge are 26 feet wide, 969 feet long, and 150 feet above the river.

The rare prolonged snowstorms and low temperatures that have caused havoc in many parts of China are mainly related to La Nina and abnormal atmospheric circulation, Chinese meteorologists said.
The unbalanced precipitation in China this winter greatly resembles the aftermath of La Nina event in history, which indicates that the latest development of La Nina is a main cause of China's abnormal snowy weather, meteorologists with Jiangxi Provincial Meteorological Bureau said.
The experts predicted that the La Nina event, which formed in August last year, will continue to the end of the spring season.
They also pointed out that the abnormal atmospheric circulation in some regions of Europe and Asia, which has lasted for nearly 20 days since mid-January, is responsible for the rampant chilly weather, rain and snowstorms.

Author Topic: A way to connect 1 output to a large numbers of (function) nodes inputs (Read 425 times)
I regularly work on filters that take a large number of samples or iterations and it can be a real headache when you expose a new variable for one of your iterations and to connect it in your main graph to, say, 64 iterations of that subgraph.
I just added a new input to this function
And now I have to reconnect it, indeed, 64 times.
For me, this situation comes up on the regular.
Functionality wise, I imagine something like this:
First you select the node with the output you want to connect. Through a button load this selection as "source node". Then either by output number or by identifier select which output will be connected to the group of receiving nodes.
Now select the group of nodes that will receive the new input. Press a button to load in this selection as "receiving nodes". Then select which input all of these nodes will connect, by number or identifier.
Finally press a button to connect the selected output to all of the selected inputs.
I imagine this might be possible through Python, but I personally have little programming experience, so don't really know where to even start.

This article is about the dungeon inside the Divine Beast. For the Divine Beast in other uses, see Vah Ruta.
The Divine Beast Vah Ruta is one of the four Divine Beasts in Breath of the Wild. The interior of Vah Ruta serves as one of the four main dungeons in the game. Link must defeat Waterblight Ganon in order to free the mechanical beast from Ganon's control.
Gaining Entrance
See also: Divine Beast Vah Ruta (Main Quest)
After Link has completed Reach Zora's Domain and obtained at least twenty Shock Arrows, he meets Prince Sidon at East Reservoir Lake. From there, Sidon will swim around the lake with Link on his back, while the Malice-controlled Vah Ruta will defend itself with giant ice cubes and spiked ice balls shot from cannons. Use Cryonis to destroy these.
Eventually, Sidon will swim in close, allowing Link to use the Zora Armor to swim up a torrent of water and hit a glowing orb with a Shock Arrow. Once all four orbs have been hit, the Divine Beast is subdued, and Sidon brings Link to the entrance.
Dungeon Overview
When entering the Divine Beast, there is a shut gate on the left in the first room. Shoot the eyeball to destroy the Malice, then open the gate with Cryonis to get the dungeon map from the Guidance Stone, allowing Link to change the angle of water coming from Vah Ruta's trunk.
 1. From the door to the map room, head toward the gears on the wall. Use Magnesis to turn the handle, raising the terminal, and then activate it.
 2. Turn around and head to the door on the right which leads outside. Follow the ramp up and enter the door on the right. Besides a Guardian Scout II, there is a water spout moving a smaller water wheel, and an unmoving larger water wheel. A terminal is inside the smaller wheel, and can be accessed by freezing the spout using Cryonis with proper timing.
 3. Using the map to drop water onto the large water wheel, ride it up and go past the Guardian Scout to activate the switch. This creates a waterfall to use as a shortcut. From the switch, paraglide to a walkway leading to the centre of the big wheel, and use Stasis to hold the Ancient Orb in the Shrine Pedestal as it rotates, such that the gate stays open and allows Link to access the terminal right-side-up.
 4. Swim up the waterfall, grab the chest if desired, then go through the corridor behind where the Guardian Scout was. The terminal is on the very tip of the trunk. While this area can only be reached when the trunk is lowered, it can only be activated with the trunk in a high position, so it must be raised once Link reaches the waterspout.
 5. In the centre of Ruta's back, there is a small hole. Jump through it, and once on the surface, destroy the eyeball before the mouth can spit out Cursed Bokoblins. Look down through the gap in the floor to see the terminal surrounded by flames. In front of Link is a wall with gears and a handle. Use Magnesis to turn the handle to open the top of Ruta's head, and use the map to move Ruta's trunk to send water through the openings and extinguish the flame, allowing the final terminal to be activated.
With all the terminals activated, Link can return to the lowest level and enter the door opposite the map room. This is where the main control unit lies, and Waterblight Ganon.
Waterblight Ganon
Main article: Waterblight Ganon
Phase I: Waterblight Ganon uses a spear to attack that has pretty good range which he will swing, thrust, throw or use a shockwave. He also warps around the area. Focus on attacking his eye with arrows to stun him. Bomb arrows will work better than regular arrows as it will inflict more damage. When you hit his eye enough he will be stunned and fall. You can also just shoot him anywhere with an ancient arrow inflicting the most damage and he will fall right away. Run up to him and attack with melee weapons, arrows, elemental arrows or ancient arrows. Perfect dodge or backflip his spear attacks for melee flurry attack as well.
Phase II: As Waterblight Ganon gets towards half health he will take a new approach. He will fill the room with water leaving 4 solid platforms to stand on. He will be hanging from the ceiling now and begin using ice block attacks which can be taken out with Cryonis. It will be difficult to attack him if you are not on solid ground. You can use Cryonis to stand in the water area. When his health gets down enough he will use a laser from his eye. If you get hit by this it will cause significant damage. Continue your attack method as previous. Waterblight Ganon will use any of his attacks with no specific pattern at this point.
Once you defeat Waterblight Ganon, you will receive a Heart Container. Activate the Main Control Unit to free Mipha's spirit and receive Mipha's Grace.
Illusory Realm
See also: Illusory Realm
After activating the main control unit, Link cannot reenter Vah Ruta. However, as part of the EX Champion Mipha's Song DLC quest, he can present three Ruta's Emblems and be drawn into an "Illusory Realm" of memories, where he can re-experience the fight with Waterblight Ganon with limited equipment.
Treasure Chests
 - From the map terminal room, there is a Treasure Chest in the water to the right. Use Magnesis to pull the chest out of the water and open for an Ancient Spring.
 - In the area with the second terminal, a ledge with a Silver Rupee chest can be reached by gliding from the top of the smaller water wheel.
 - In the same room, using the map to set the large waterwheel turning allows access to a malice-covered chest on the outside of the wheel. Kill the eyeball to allow the chest to be looted for the bundle of ten Fire Arrows inside.
 - Inside the large waterwheel, use stasis to hold a block toward the outside of the wheel, allowing access to a chest on the wheel's hub with an Ancient Core. It is advisable to avoid being crushed when the stasis expires.
 - Swim up the waterfall created from pressing the switch, and paraglide from the highest point over to the ledge ahead with the chest. Open it for a Hylia Series spear - depending on the current World Level, possibly a Knight's Halberd or Royal Halberd.
 - Outside, a chest is on the inside of the trunk, containing an Ancient Shaft. Manipulate the trunk until Link can open it.
 - From the tip of the trunk in the highest position, a chest is visible on the left side of Ruta's back covered in Malice, while the eye is on the opposite side. Once the eyeball is destroyed, the chest can be opened for a bundle of ten Ice Arrows.

Here is an example function that will work with the example 1-simple.html example..
To Add a Row at the top:
 function addRow(){
 var newRow = {title: "new Title", duration: "1 day"};
 var rowData = grid.getData();
 rowData.splice(0, 0, newRow);
 grid.scrollRowIntoView(0, false);
To Delete row, it is the same idea. Get the grid data collection/ slice the array to get the data out of you want to delete and then call setData and render...

Sometimes Splice doesn't work. Try the code below:
DataView.insertItem(insertBefore, item) ///Here insertBefore can be 0
function addRow() {
 var newRow = columns,
 newId = dataView.getLength();
 newRow.id = newId + 1;
 dataView.insertItem(0, newRow);
and then you can call this function on button click. This really works. I have tried it myself.

International Corporate Volunteering is Growing Quickly, Here Is What You Need to Know
Mark Horoszowski
Mark Horoszowski is the co-founder and CEO of
ICV Conference Highlights
The message from the Pyxera International Corporate Volunteering Conference, _TAG_, was clear "International Corporate Volunteering (ICV) has massive benefits for volunteering professionals, the sponsoring corporation, and the receiving social impact organization." As such, it is no surprise that ICV programs are growing at a rate of over 150% year over year.
In fact, almost every Fortune 100 company with an ICV program is expanding it. Most notably, IBM increased the number of employees it sends overseas to volunteer every year from 400 to 500.
This summary of the conference provides statistics, resources, and information you need to know about international corporate volunteering programs – including how to start your own.
I. Why Should Corporations Have International Corporate Volunteering Programs
The benefits are resoundingly clear. ICV programs are proven to
 1. Have bottom line benefits for the corporation
 2. Create a positive social impact
 3. Develop leadership and innovation skills in program participants
We recently published a blog post with a wealth of information about the benefits of volunteering overseas. In summary, the following infographic summarizes extensive research proving how ICV programs help with recruitment, retention, engagement, and performance of employees.
II. How to Start an International Corporate Volunteering Program
Hint: "Learn by doing"
The key to starting a successful international corporate volunteering program is actually starting an ICV program. Perhaps easier said than done, but thought-leaders at the conference shared the following which should help:
1. Understand Your Business | Programs will only grow if businesses can justify the expense. Most programs develop leadership skills or foster innovation as its stated benefit. If you understand your business, and the initiatives within it, you can build a strong case for designing a program that creates social good and helps your business.
2. Find Executive Support | All programs that were growing had a senior leader who personally supported the initiative.
3. Create Program Goals That Align with Business Goals | While most programs are designed for leadership development, some are designed to foster innovation, understand new markets, or give employees field experience in a geography/country of strategic importance to the company.
4. Start Small | Convincing leadership of benefits of an ICV program is not always easy. There are enough programs touting benefits to justify a full-fledged program, but ICV programs should be unique to your company, so start a pilot first.
5. Collaborate | Some ICV programs are in HR, CSR, or even in individual business units. Regardless of where it sits, there is data, resources, and know-how in other departments that is useful for design, support, and reporting. As an example, HR might have data about employee engagement that your program can benchmark against, and CSR will want to know about the impact the ICV program created for its annual report.
6. Find External Partners | Organizations like Pyxera Global, MovingWorlds, RealizedWorth and others can help you efficiently find social impact organizations overseas where your institution's know-how, and the skills of the people within it, can actually make a positive difference. These organizations also provide guidance for program setup, evaluation, training, and resources.
7. Measure Impact | ICV programs are proven to benefit the corporation, the employee participants, and the social impact organization that receives support. Establishing success metrics, measuring them, and reporting impact to ALL stakeholders is vital to program continuation and growth.
III. How to Measure and Increase the Impact of ICV Programs
The most effective programs measure success on a number of factors, and by surveying stakeholders at multiple points in time. Surveys should go to:
 - Volunteering employees for program perception and ways to improve
 - Managers of volunteering employees for skill development in participants
 - Business partners in the company (i.e. HR and CSR) for possible efficiencies
 - Executives on program perception in the company
 - Partnering organizations on impact created
 - Other stakeholders on program perception in the field (i.e. local governments)
In addition to surveys pre, during, and immediately following the volunteer engagement, successful programs also follow the long-term impact on the hosting organizations and the participating employees for the years following the international volunteer assignment.
The following picture shows 7 ways to grow the impact of ICV programs:
 1. Grow ICV ProgramsLinking to the Business Market Growth Strategy | If your corporation has an interest in expanding to a new country, volunteering there first will provide invaluable insight on country and cultural dynamics.
 2. Cross-company Partnerships | Unify efforts across your company to create efficiencies and buy-in.
 3. Issue Focus | Pick a cause-area that is relevant to your corporation and its employees.
 4. Complementary Support | In global volunteering, learning happens both ways. Find field partners that can support and teach each other, and you.
 5. Country Development Agenda Alignment | Align your corporate efforts with the country's development efforts so that local governments will welcome and help with program implementation.
 6. Repeat Engagement | Build long-term partnerships with organizations in the field.
 7. Linking to CSR Strategy | To improve reporting and executive support, show that the program can enhance existing social impact initiatives.
IV. Companies with ICV Programs
Many companies have formal international corporate volunteering programs, some of the most recognized brands include IBM, Pfizer, SAP, Intel, Microsoft, Credit Suisse, DOW, Ernst & Young, and Google. Many more encourage and support individual efforts on sabbaticals and vacations. For more information on international volunteering, this previous blog post provides statistics about volunteering overseas.
Here are some great news articles about how companies are using international corporate volunteering:
 1. International Corporate Volunteering: Rapidly Growing Trend to Advance People, Planet, and Profits (Huffington Post)
 2. Social Sabbaticals and the New Face of Leadership (SSIR)
 3. Volunteering For Impact – Best Practices in International Corporate Volunteering (Report)
 4. International Corporate Volunteering: Profitable for Corporations (Huffington Post)
 5. Behind the Growth of International Corporate Volunteerism & What to Consider When Starting a Program (CSRWire)
 6. Making Global Impact Through International Volunteering (Realized Worth)
 7. International Corporate Volunteerism: A Game Changer (Forbes)
 8. High-value Skilled-based Volunteerism (TrueImpact)
 9. Why International Corporate Volunteering (Pyxera Global)
 10. The Ultimate Employee Do-Gooder Perk (FastCompany)
V. More Information on International Skills Based Volunteering in Corporations
If you have more questions about kick-starting a corporate volunteering program, I do free 30 min calls to help people volunteer their skills around the world. Find time with me here.
The following Infographic from Pyxera Global also provides some very useful information about ICV programs.
In summary, the 2014 ICV conference by Pyxera Global, Catalyzing Growth in Emerging Markets, was a massive success. Companies in-tune with the message will certainly help advance people, planet, and profits.

Caption: Royal IHC's hydrogen-fuelled THSD is being developed to help the Dutch government reach its C02 neutral by 2030 target. Credit: Royal IHC
Hydrogen is the choice of fuel for a new trailing hopper suction dredger (THSD) design being developed through a partnership between Royal IHC and the Dutch government.
The fuel type was chosen based on its emissions reduction potential, the availability of the fuel and the readiness of the components, including fuel cells and fuel storage, Royal IHC's Leonard den Boer told CEDA Industry News. Following analysis, hydrogen was found to fit "best with the timeline of being operational in 2024," said den Boer who is the project leader.
The Dutch Rijkswaterstaat (Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management) has set itself a target to be CO2 neutral by 2030. To achieve this, it sought cost-effective solutions for its coastal protection projects to significantly reduce CO2 from 2024.
Known as the 'LEAF' (low energy adaptive fuel) hopper, the design received an approval in principle (AiP) from classification society Bureau Veritas at the end of March.
The project's next step is "to form a consortium with dredger operator(s) and to define the conditions together with Rijkswaterstaat," said den Boer.
Project research began in 2019, and before hydrogen was agreed as the fuel of choice, other options such as methanol and ammonia were considered as possible zero emission fuels for the dredger, he said. The exact capacity of the LEAF hopper is still under discussion.
In a statement, Royal IHC said: "The AiP from Bureau Veritas means that the proposed design of the vessel, encompassing its features and specifications, has been deemed acceptable in this early stage and that the hydrogen system has been safely integrated".
According to the company, minimal CO2, SOx, NOx and particulate matter is released during the construction of the LEAF hopper, and when operating, like other hydrogen-fuelled vessels, it will release only water vapour.
"In addition, many design features on the LEAF hopper contribute to low energy consumption, including an electric drive train and energy recovery systems," it said.

We report on an optically pumped semiconductor disk laser with a wide wavelength tuning range and a high peak output power. This was achieved using a combination of efficient thermal management and a broadband gain element (GE) with carefully engineered spectral gain characteristics. For heat removal, a flip-chip bonding scheme on diamond was used. To provide high active mirror reflectance over a large wavelength region, the layered structure of the GE formed a nonresonant subcavity assisted by an antireflective structure. A peak output power of more than 7.5 W and a tuning range of 32 nm around the center wavelength of 995 nm were obtained.

Texas Physics Consortium
Texas Physics Consortium (TPC) is a group of Physics Departments that pool faculty expertise and institutional resources to provide access to quality upper-level undergraduate and graduate physics courses. The TPC use of pooled resources provides their students with the wide range of upper level physics courses usually available at only large institutions while maintaining the intimate student-faculty interaction of a small department. The TPC has submitted an application to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for all TPC institutions except Commerce to award a single Joint BS Physics Degree. If the proposal is approved, the TPC would become the third largest producer of B.S. Physics Graduates in Texas.
Instructional Delivery Methods
The Texas Physics Consortium uses multiple instructional methods to provide instruction to students in each course based upon course content and the location and needs of the student. Methods used include:
- Face-to-Face instruction - At a student's local campus
- Trans Texas Video Network - live interactive video to students on remote campus sites
- live Webcasts from Texas A&M System - non-interactive method for delivery to student's home or workplace using the Internet
- streaming archived video on Texas A&M System Media Matrix - non-interactive mode for students unable to make class
- interactive web conferencing and archived video using Saba Centra - for nuclear engineering courses out of Texas A&M
While interactive instruction is always best, for students with geographical, work or family conflicts, non-interactive live classroom instruction using a personal computer or anytime asynchronous instruction through streaming video or Saba Centra enables students to complete the degree without delay.
Unlike most undergraduate physics programs, the breadth of the Texas Physics Consortium enables students access to every required upper-level physics course in the Joint BS Degree on an annual rather than bi-annual rotation. This provides flexibility for course scheduling making it easier for students to complete the degree in less time than would otherwise be possible.


Best Jamaica Transportation Service
Jamaican cuisine the Ital way:
Ital cooking is a type of Jamaican cuisine developed by the Rastafarian faith who believed that natural foods, herbs and vegetables are the way to go. Rastafarians doesn't practice the consumption of meat and foods that are produced by synthetic chemicals.
Today Ital cuisine is well sort after in Jamaica and else where throughout the world. Credit must be given to the Rastafarian elders who created dishes to that fit into their beliefs.
At first Rastafarians was ridicule by locals as many people were ignorant to many healthy lifestyles. However, it came to past when these same people are being thoroughly warned by doctors to eat the healthier.
The revelation is that Rastafarians has introduced healthy recipes into the Jamaican cuisine. The no meat, dairy products and chemically produce foods surely has being adopted by many. Eating lots of raw foods was Rastafarian forte. Now we see conventional nutritionists recommending that 75% of ones complete diet should be raw foods.
Past generations had planted lots of fruit trees in Jamaica that continues to produce. They produce naturally without any fertilizer about from what naturally occurs over the years due to break down of organic materials. While many people don't stop to think about it, but they are having nature's best. These produce are marketed elsewhere as organic and fetch higher prices than normal.
Ital cooking brings another dimension in the Jamaican cuisine which makes it truly interesting. As the saying goes that prevention is better than cure, let your food be your medicine. Ital cuisine is just that.

What's vibration detector (shock sensor) how it works?
The sensor for vibration detection is a vibration detector (or shock sensor), the detector must have a mechanical displacement to generate the alarm signal; vibration detection equipment is not only best suitable for file cabinets, vaults, strongrooms, safes and Automated Teller Machines (ATM), confidential protection special objects, but also suitable for other systems in combination, to prevent intruders break in from wall. How to use the vibration detector in correct application is very important. It is often used to provide protection in a special object where protected area that with staff's activities.
There are two major detection methods for vibration detector; the one is mechanical detection, it works as a ON/OFF switch using the mechanical movement of metal contact, the other is acoustic sound detection. Compare to acoustic sound detection, adopts mechanical detection vibration detector only detect the true physic vibration with low false alarm. The vibration detector that is based on acoustic sound detection (with microphone), it may trigger false alarm by high noise from car, thunder in summer.
1. There are different types of vibration detectors according to the application or protection objects.
a. Building Vibration Intrusion Detector
The detector can detect the mechanical vibration (shock) from the wall, and send alarm signal to alarm system.
b. Geosound vibration intrusion Detector
The detector can detect the vibration caused by pedestrains or vehicles on the ground.
c. Safe Vibration Intrusion Detector
The detector detects the vibation cased by the hit or abnormal open of the safes.
2. Typically most of vibration detectors with NC (Normal Close) output for alarm connection. The connection for vibration detector to alarm system is simple, you may need to connect the EOL resistor in series between detectors and zones (alarm system).
3. Tips on installation the vibration detector
- Vibration detectors is used for detection of intrusion for vaults, strongrooms and Automated Teller Machines (ATM's).
- When install the vibration detector on the wall of room, then the installation height should be 2-2.4 meter from ground, The device need to install in dry environment.
- When place the vibration detector underground, the depth should be 10cm.
- Installation should avoid the places where there is vibration souces ( motors, transformer, fan, air-conditioner).
- Do not install the device where with RF interference.

Elk Island National Park of Canada
Phenotypic Differences Between the Bison Subspecies
Historic range of plains and wood bison.© Parks Canada
The differences between plains and wood bison can be separated into two groups; pelage characters and structural characters. Plains bison tend to have pelage characters which are larger and more obvious than those of the wood bison. Whereas plains bison have large chaps, a full beard and neck mane and a well-demarcated cape, wood bison have no chaps, a thin pointy beard, a rudimentary neck mane and a cape that grades smoothly back to the loins. Structurally the highest point of the hump on a plains bison is directly over the front legs while the highest point of the wood bison is well forward of the front legs. There are differences in weights as well with the wood bison being considerably larger than the plains. The Park maintains a bison weight database going back to 1956 and during all that time there is only one record of a plains bison bull weighing more than 2000 pounds (909 kg) while over one-third of the wood bison bulls exceed this weight.
There has been some discussion as to whether the subspecies are simply ecotypes, and that if a wood bison was placed in plains bison habitat, or vice versa, it would assume the traits of the host bison, simply due to the environmental pressures under which it is placed. A large-scale phenotyping study was conducted during the early 1990s where almost every publicly managed bison herd (both plains and woods) was examined for its external phenotypic expression, and it proved that, despite the habitat in which they reside, they maintain the traits which characterize the subspecies. Recent research at the University of Alberta has conclusively proven a genetic difference between the two subspecies.PLAINS BISON

- Highest point of the hump is well forward of the front legs.
- Virtually no chaps on the front legs.
- A thin scraggly beard.
- The neck mane is short and does not extend much below the chest.
- The cape grades smoothly back towards the loins with little if any demarcation.
- The forelock lies forward in long strands over the forehead.
- The hair is usually darker, especially on the head.

How to type a bar over/under a letter in mhchem of LaTeX?
I use usepackage mhchem to write chemical equations in LaTeX, it works fine most of time. Today I encountered a problem, how to type a horizontal bar over (or under) a letter?
After some Googling work, here is my solution, combining the command mathrm and overline/underline. The command \underline (\overline) is placing a bar under (over) a letter, while mathrm is remove the italic style of the letter in the math environment.
E.g. to get an chemical equation as follows:
You can use the code below:
\ce{3 C4A\mathrm{\underline{S}}H12 + 2 C\mathrm{\underline{C}} + 18 H -> C6A$\mathrm{\underline{S}_3}$H32 + 2 C4A\mathrm{\underline{C}}H11}
\label{some label}
You are welcome to share your trick with me, thanks.

Variable Names
Valid Names
A valid variable name starts with a letter, followed by letters, digits, or underscores. MATLAB® is case sensitive, so A and a are not the same variable. The maximum length of a variable name is the value that the namelengthmax command returns.
You cannot define variables with the same names as MATLAB keywords, such as if or end. For a complete list, run the iskeyword command.
Examples of valid names:Invalid names:
Conflicts with Function Names
Avoid creating variables with the same name as a function (such as i, j, mode, char, size, and path). In general, variable names take precedence over function names. If you create a variable that uses the name of a function, you sometimes get unexpected results.
Check whether a proposed name is already in use with the exist or which function. exist returns 0 if there are no existing variables, functions, or other artifacts with the proposed name. For example:
exist checkname
ans =
If you inadvertently create a variable with a name conflict, remove the variable from memory with the clear function.
Another potential source of name conflicts occurs when you define a function that calls load or eval (or similar functions) to add variables to the workspace. In some cases, load or eval add variables that have the same names as functions. Unless these variables are in the function workspace before the call to load or eval, the MATLAB parser interprets the variable names as function names. For more information, see:

UNlisted's Andre Fraser: How does sound relate to color, heat?
(Associated Press )
The Republican Lifestyle Desk By The Republican Lifestyle Desk The Republican
on September 23, 2013 at 5:24 AM, updated September 23, 2013 at 5:26 AM
The hotter a flame is, the farther along the color spectrum it is.
Springfield High School of Science and Technology
You are watching "MinutePhysics" of Vsauce on the YouTube app on your phone at 11 p.m., unable to go to sleep. You click on a rather long video of the sound of an astrological body in the universe, lowered by x^10 octaves. You close your eyes, and you find that you can see a white-blue light. You wrap yourself tighter in your sheets. Despite it being 95 degrees, you feel cold.
So what does it mean? What does the sound of heat look like?
andrefraser.jpgAndre Fraser
According to that physics teacher we all had in school, everything functions at specific wavelengths. Hitting a standard fork tuned to A will provide a note at 440 Hz, or A4. Boiling water in a pot will cause the molecules to speed up. Colors of light vibrate at a frequency with the infrared-ultraviolet spectrum.
Is it possible for sound, heat, and color to be related in any way?
If you take a cube of ice 10 cubic centimeters, and put it in a pot over a flame, it melts. It melts because the bond keeping the molecules of the ice together isn't strong enough for the energies provided by the molecules, and the molecules that were once vibrating slowly next to each other are able to vibrate at a faster speed.
Although, why are we still calling it speed. Things vibrate at frequencies. Continue heating the water even more, the molecules are loose enough to become gaseous and evaporate into the air.
So then why is orange considered a warmer color than blue? Is it because orange reminds us of warm days full of sunshine, and blue reminds us of the cool water we drink during that day?
Perhaps, but colors react quite the opposite to heat. If you strike a match and touch the red flame, you would feel it sting for a while, but not for too long.
Meanwhile, if you lit a Bunsen burner and touched the blue flame, you would certainly feel pain for a much longer time than the match inflicted.
Why? Blue flames are hotter than red flames, obviously. The hotter a flame is, the farther along the color spectrum it is, starting from red and advancing to blue, and eventually white.
But what does that mean about hearing colors or seeing sounds? Is it possible that hearing sounds, with lower frequencies, can also lead to seeing colors of proportionally lower frequencies?
Does our brain amplify sounds by about 10 trillion, and prospectively force us to perceive the sight of a relative color in the void of vision? Does it work the other way? Is the ringing in our ear our brain slowing down the frequency of the blue on the wall we have been staring intently at for the past hour? Is that what musicians refer to when they describe the music rather colorfully?
Can science ever find a relationship between sound, heat, and visible light/colors? Perhaps one day. For today, though, all we can do is just wonder. Perhaps one of you young scientists reading this will be inspired to find an answer.

Question from anti-star
How do I get the tablet's password for GAULEM bay?
I have put in almost every combination and it fails. What am I doing wrong?
Top Voted Answer
Zarwid_Thwic answered:
I won't tell you what the exact password is, but you have to match the location of the robots eyes when they glow red to the "poster with an eye on it". You should get your answer from that.

Prince_Pyro answered:
There are two separate passwords. Activate the robots by using the yellow console, and then pay attention to which of the robot eyes are lit up. Match the letters on the [FILE: POSTER WITH AN EYE ON IT] that correspond to the robot eyes that are glowing, then do the same for the letters that correspond to the eyes that are NOT glowing. The top row of letters refers to the robots on the top side of the room (according to [FILE: ROUGH SKETCH OF THE ROOM]) and the bottom row of letters correspond to the robots on the other side of the room. It will help if you try and consider the robots as seen from the center of the room.

What is meant by "Constant Amortized Time" when talking about time complexity of an algorithm?
Amortised time explained in simple terms:
If you do an operation say a million times, you don't really care about the worst-case or the best-case of that operation - what you care about is how much time is taken in total when you repeat the operation a million times.
So it doesn't matter if the operation is very slow once in a while, as long as "once in a while" is rare enough for the slowness to be diluted away. Essentially amortised time means "average time taken per operation, if you do many operations". Amortised time doesn't have to be constant; you can have linear and logarithmic amortised time or whatever else.
Let's take mats' example of a dynamic array, to which you repeatedly add new items. Normally adding an item takes constant time (that is,
So each time you enlarge, you take about twice as much time as the last enlarge. But you've also waited twice as long before doing it! The cost of each enlargement can thus be "spread out" among the insertions. This means that in the long term, the total time taken for adding m items to the array is
It means that over time, the worst case scenario will default to O(1), or constant time. A common example is the dynamic array. If we have already allocated memory for a new entry, adding it will be O(1). If we haven't allocated it we will do so by allocating, say, twice the current amount. This particular insertion will not be O(1), but rather something else.
What is important is that the algorithm guarantees that after a sequence of operations the expensive operations will be amortised and thereby rendering the entire operation O(1).
Or in more strict terms,
It basically means that in the worst case scenario the algorithm runs in constant time, averaged over a large number of operations. Which is nice.
The explanations above apply to Aggregate Analysis, the idea of taking "an average" over multiple operations. I am not sure how they apply to Bankers-method or the Physicists Methods of Amortized analysis.
Now. I am not exactly sure of the correct answer. But it would have to do with the principle condition of the both Physicists+Banker's methods:
(Sum of amortized-cost of operations) >= (Sum of actual-cost of operations).
The chief difficulty that I face is that given that Amortized-asymptotic costs of operations differ from the normal-asymptotic-cost, I am not sure how to rate the significance of amortized-costs.
That is when somebody gives my an amortized-cost, I know its not the same as normal-asymptotic cost What conclusions am I to draw from the amortized-cost then?
Since we have the case of some operations being overcharged while other operations are undercharged, one hypothesis could be that quoting amortized-costs of individual operations would be meaningless.
For eg: For a fibonacci heap, quoting amortized cost of just Decreasing-Key to be O(1) is meaningless since costs are reduced by "work done by earlier operations in increasing potential of the heap."
We could have another hypothesis that reasons about the amortized-costs as follows:
Thus amortized-cost analysis + amortized-cost-bounds are now applicable to only the expensive operations. The cheap operations have the same asymptotic-amortized-cost as their normal-asymptotic-cost.

Minnesota Cancels Moose Hunting as Population Plummets
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Minnesota officials are canceling the state's moose hunting season because of a sharp decline in the moose population.
Department of Natural Resources officials say their annual aerial survey to estimate the moose population was "extremely disappointing," at about 2,760 animals.
Minnesota's moose population was estimated at a little more than 4,200 in last winter's survey. That number was already down by half from 2006.
Researchers are studying why one of Minnesota's signature animals is dwindling. Scientists think warmer weather, parasites and disease are contributing factors.

Cross Exchange Rate Calculator
Enter the exchange rate or currency A to C and the exchange rate from B to C into the cross exchange rate calculator. The calculator will return the Cross Rate from A to B.
Cross Exchange Rate Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the cross exchange rate of 3 different currencies, A,B, and C.
A:B = A:C/B:C
 - Where A, B, and C are different currency rates.
When analyzing currency exchanges it's important to point out that the ratio of exchange rates is constantly changing from day to day. This formula can also be used to calculate cross exchange rates of things that are not currencies.
Cross Exchange Rate Definition
A cross exchange rate is the ratio of exchange rates between two or more currencies on the open market.
How to calculate cross exchange rate?
How to calculate a cross exchange rate
 1. Determine the ratio between currency A and C.
 Using your tool of choice, look up the exchange rate between currency A and C. This will be your A:C ratio
 2. Next, determine the ratio between currency B and C
 This will be your B:C ratio. You can use the same tool or database as used in step 1.
 3. Finally, calculate A:B
 Using the formula above and the ratios from steps 1 and 2, you can now calculate the A:B cross exchange rate.
What is a cross exchange rate?
A cross exchange rate is a term typically used in economics to describe the comparison of two currencies through the use of a third common currency. For example, if you know the rates between A and C and B and C, then you can estimate the rates between A and C assuming the same rules apply to exchanges.
How can i use a cross exchange rate?
Cross exchange rates can be used to calculate fair market values for exchanging of any goods or services, not just currencies. For example, if you want a chicken, and it costs 1 blanket, but you don't have a blanket, then you need to exchange something else, say a rock. If you know that rock is also worth one blanket, then you can exchange the rock for that chicken.

2002-2003 Governance Implementation Task Force
2002-2003 Annual Report
Summary: The Governance Implementation Task Force reviewed progress made in the development and delivery of chapter benefits, a proposed schedule and process for the deployment of a chapter network, a proposed chapter agreement, and refinements to the criteria for chapter status. The task force also reviewed proposed changes to the ACHE Bylaws for 2003.
The Governance Implementation Task Force was established to oversee the activities of ACHE staff in implementing the recommendations of the 2000-2001 Governance Task Force and to consider further efforts needed to implement the direction of that report. The task force met August 29, 2002. A summary of the task force's activities follows:
PROPOSED GOVERNANCE AND CHAPTER DEPLOYMENT SCHEDULE
The task force reviewed and approved a proposed schedule of activities needed from September 2002 through November 2003 to provide the policies and infrastructure to support the formation of ACHE chapters.
REFINEMENTS TO THE CRITERIA FOR CHAPTER STATUS
The task force reviewed and approved proposed adjustments to the previously approved criteria for chapter status. The changes were made to clarify the criteria and add new criteria felt to be needed in order to insure a positive working relationship between ACHE and prospective chapters. The changes also adjusted the window of time by which the chapter must comply with several of the criteria. The revised criteria were placed on the fall district meeting agenda for discussion by Regents and demonstration group liaisons.
PROPOSED CHAPTER AGREEEMENT
The task force members carefully reviewed the contract language proposed by ACHE legal counsel for the contract between ACHE and the prospective chapter. They made a number of detailed suggestions which substantially changed the content and form of the contract. The task force asked ACHE staff to revise the contract with the assistance of legal counsel and distribute it to the demonstration groups for review and comment.
CHAPTER FORMATION PROCESS
The task force considered the issue of how to go about the formation of chapters. They endorsed using a market planning approach to identify geographic service territories for all prospective chapters in each district. They concluded that this process holds the best probability of resulting in the orderly allocation of viable member markets among existing affiliated groups and would aid in identifying those parts of the country where new organizations are needed. The task force recommended that the approach be reviewed at fall district meetings with Regents and demonstration group liaisons.
The task force reviewed changes to the American College of Healthcare Executives Bylaws that will be considered at the 2003 Council of Regents Meeting. Those changes address the following issues:
- Provide for ACHE Chapters
- Make the Board of Governors the primary legislative body representing the affiliates; the Council of Regents will then serve as an advisory council
Powers that must be transferred from the Council of Regents to the Board of Governor to effect this change are the powers to:
- Make all policy decisions
- Approve all proposals pertaining to dues and assessments
- Approve all changes to the Regulations Governing Admission, Advancement, and Recertification
- Approve all changes to the Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation
- Approve all changes to the Code of Ethics
- Designate Districts
A marked up copy of the American College of Healthcare Executives Bylaws reflecting these changes can be found in the 2002-2003 Bylaws Committee Report.

While the use and size of land connected with U.S. lighthouses varies, observers say the Point Retreat lighthouse reserve near Juneau is larger than most.
Years ago, lighthouses established by the federal government were assigned a reservation. In some cases an entire island was set aside as a lighthouse reserve. In other cases, part of the island became the reserve, said Dave Snyder, a historian with the U.S. Lighthouse Society, a nonprofit historical and educational organization based in San Francisco.
U.S. Lighthouse Society President Wayne Wheeler was a navigator on the Coast Guard cutter Sweetbrier in Alaska in the 1960s. Among other duties, the crew dropped off food, mail and movies at Southeast lighthouses, including Point Retreat, every two weeks.
At 1,500 acres, Point Retreat's land base is unusual, he said.
"There's no reason for them to have that kind of acreage. If you look at other light stations around the country, there's just not that kind of acreage," Wheeler said.
The society's Washington chapter runs a lighthouse at New Dungeness on the Olympic Peninsula that includes about 20 acres. The light station at Point Bonita, Calif., was about 180 acres, he said.
Lighthouses closer to railroads or more populated areas might have included less land, while those further away, such as those in Alaska, might have included more land so the keeper would be self-sufficient, Snyder said.
As an example, a lighthouse keeper might fell trees for firewood or to build a fence. Some keepers were involved in minor commercial activities such as fishing or crabbing, Snyder said.
"In lighthouse days, there would have been minimal management," he said.
Light stations in the early 19th century also used the land to plant crops, grow vegetables and keep cows, chickens and pigs, Wheeler added.
In Alaska, the Coast Guard leased the 216-acre Cape Decision lighthouse reserve to Cape Decision Lighthouse Society in 1997, according to society President Karen Johnson of Sitka. Along with the lighthouse and other buildings, the reserve includes a 0.7-mile spur trail that provides access to the site, she said.
Part of a 4.5-mile Port McArthur historic trail also is on the reserve. The lighthouse group has collaborated with the Forest Service on trail construction, Johnson said.
As with the land around the Point Retreat lighthouse reserve, the land adjacent to Cape Decision on southern Kuiu Island is managed for semi-remote recreation by the Forest Service. The designation provides a predominantly natural setting for semi-primitive recreation with some rustic recreation and tourism facilities allowed, according to the agency.
The Cape St. Elias lighthouse is on Kayak Island between Cordova and Yakutat. The island is 22 miles long by 2 miles wide, and the Cape St. Elias Lightkeepers' Association lease with the Coast Guard includes about 500 acres, President Toni Bocci said.
"It's sheer rock that goes up 1,500 feet that you can't do anything with. The lighthouse is on the tip," she said.
The association's main focus is restoring the lighthouse building, a task made more difficult because of the site's location, Bocci said.
"Ours is more remote than some of the other ones," she said. "You have to charter a plane, land on the beach and hike two miles, carrying everything on your back."
Closer to Juneau, the Sentinel Island Lighthouse, which can be seen from Amalga Harbor, is on six forested acres.
The Five Finger Light sits on a "three-acre rock" 64 miles south of Juneau, according to Valerie O'Hare of the Juneau Lighthouse Association. What a land transfer at Point Retreat could mean to other Alaska lighthouses will depend on what happens next, she said.
"What's going to affect us is what they do after," she said. "With that being said, we hope that whatever they do is not only done in the best interest of Point Retreat, but done within the best interest of the entire lighthouse program in Alaska."

Free Project Booklet: Group Afghan
This PDF was originally intended for UK schools but the methods are equally useful to any knitters wanting to work together on a project. It was originally produced in booklet form and has been used in many countries around the world. It was written with children in mind and has proved to be equally acceptable to adults.
The main aim of the booklet was to use mathematics in a 'nonthreatening' way so, in addition to the knitting information, it also includes ideas for use in mathematics lessons.
See some of the afghans made in schools, and read about teachers' experiences. and the work of the Cheshire Women's Institute, based on the same booklet.
The photos show three very different afghans created from the same instructions, one from Cheshire WI, the others from schools.
The pattern is free but we would like you to consider making a donation to Kidney Research UK, where we have set up a page in memory of my parents. For more information, see the Tribute Page on the Woolly Thoughts web site.

The Estimation of Age and Analyses of the Growth Rate Piliostigma thonningii (Schum.) Milne-Redhead in the Guinea Savanna Zone of Nigeria
Estimates of age and analyses of growth rate of Piliostigma thonningii were made by counting rings and measuring ring widths in those plants that formed distinct rings. In the others, with indistinct rings or no rings, the regression method was used to estimate the ages, using known ages and girths to derive a regression equation. There was a high correlation coefficient between age and girth (r = 0.96), less so between age and mean annual growth increment (r = 0.71) and much less so between age and bark thickness (r = 0.54). The estimated mean annual growth increment (cm) for all the tress sampled was 1.07 ± 0.23 (at 95% confidence limit).

White Screen After Installing The Theme
If you upload the theme and activate it, and see nothing but a white screen, please read the following information. This is more common than you might think, and it can be frustrating to sort out. First, it is important to understand what the white screen, often referred to as the "white screen of death," actually means. Simply put, there is an error that you can't see. The reason you can't see it is because, WordPress is not displaying the error that is causing the problem. When attempting to diagnose a white screen condition consider what you did before the condition occurred:
There are several causes for this condition. We will be addressing the ones most likely to occur — Plugins, Theme, and Other Causes.
No matter how hard developers try, it is basically impossible to write plugins that will work and play well together with every single theme. The same is true in reverse. If you experience a white screen after activating the theme, the problem could be a plugin that is in conflict with the theme. Try the following:
The most likely issue associated with a theme being the cause of a white screen condition is when the upload of the theme did not complete the transfer of all files, the transfer resulted in corrupted theme files, or you have PHP configuration memory limits set too low. Try this:
The following is a list of possible other causes for the white screen condition, because they too can cause this error:
