Definition of Klumpke palsy
Klumpke palsy: A form of brachial plexus palsy in which there is paralysis of the muscles of the forearm and hand due to an injury to the roots of eigth cervical and first thoracic roots or the lower part of the brachial plexus, a network of spinal nerves that originates in the back of the neck, extends through the axilla (armpit), and gives rise to nerves to the upper limb. The brachial plexus is formed by the union of portions of the fifth through eighth cervical nerves and the first thoracic nerve, all of which come from the spinal cord.

Hi! I am using a eulerian-lagrangian aproach to simulate gas side fouling on a heat transfer surface.Particle loading is low and so the DPM_one-way approach is a good approach. So far, i can track injection files and store the mass flux of particles that reach the surface in a UDM. I would like to convert dirty cells into solid ones to simulate the augmented thermal resistance and the reduced cross section. Does anybody Knows if is possible convert the dirty cells of fluid into solid cells of fouling via UDF? Is there any other technique to introduce a temporal dimension in the simulation? Thanks in advance, any comment is wellcome.

Think of Me First as a Person is a documentary film and home movie about Dwight Core, Jr., a boy with Down syndrome. The footage was originally shot throughout the 1960s and '70s by Core's father, Dwight Core, Sr. The footage was later discovered and completed by the filmmaker's grandson, George Ingmire.
The film was first shown at New Orleans' 2006 Home Movie Day. Later that year, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry, an honor bestowed every year to twenty-five films deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." The Library of Congress's statement announcing the 2006 additions to the Registry called the film a "loving portrait by a father of his son with Down syndrome" that represented "the creativity and craftsmanship of the American amateur filmmaker."[1]
The film's title comes from the 1974 Rita Dranginis poem of the same name.

Operating systems and runtime environments typically provide some form of isolation between applications. For example, Microsoft Windows uses processes to isolate applications. This isolation is necessary to ensure that code running in one application cannot adversely affect other, unrelated applications.
Application domains provide an isolation boundary for security, reliability, and versioning, and for unloading assemblies. Application domains are typically created by runtime hosts, which are responsible for bootstrapping the common language runtime before an application is run.

The Effect Of Capital Expenditure And Local Revenue On Economic Growth In Cities And Regencies In Bengkulu
The main objective of regional development is to create economic growth and equitable development, including inter-regional distribution of income (PAD). Fast economic growth and low income inequality can be achieved, but both cannot be achieved simultaneously. This study aims to determine the effect of Capital Expenditure and Local Revenue on economic growth in cities and regencies in Bengkulu. The samples in this study were 10 local governments at the district/city level in cities and regencies in Bengkulu with a study period from 2015 to 2020. The data collection method used the documentation method. The data analysis used was multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination and hypothesis testing. The results of the regression test obtained the regression equation Y = 254.213 + 0.097X1 + 0.025X2. Capital expenditure (PAD) has a significant influence on economic growth in cities and regencies in Bengkulu because a significant value of 0.006 is smaller than 0.05. This means that as PAD increases, economic growth will also increase. Local Revenue does not have a significant effect on economic growth in cities and regencies in Bengkulu because the significant value is 0.531, which is less than 0.05. This means that the high or low PAD generated by a region does not really affect economic growth because there is still funding from the center. Based on the results of testing the hypothesis with the F test, the hypothesis made shows that together capital expenditure and regional original income affect economic growth in cities and regencies in Bengkulu. The results of statistical calculations show a significance value of 0.05. The coefficient of determination is 0.162, which means that changes in the independent variables together are able to explain the dependent variable by 16.2%, while the remaining 1% is explained by other factors outside the independent variables used in this research

A confluence is defined as a meeting point where two or more rivers merge to become the source for a new river. This river merge adjusts its geometric parameters depending of the characteristics of its confluent rivers, particularly wide and intersection angle. Based on this idea and supported by the availability of satellite images, in this paper we classificated 43 confluences located in Tabasco, Mexico. We considered the geometry (plan view) and the intersection angle as a key elements, and applied multivariate statistical analysys to did the clasification. Results shown three groups: I. Similarity between the width of the three rivers and intersection angle less than 80°; II. Similarity between the width of the three rivers and intersection angle between 80° and 160°; and group III. Similarity between the width of the main river (the largest confluence river) and the river merge, intersection angle less than 100°. Once this classification was done, next step is to do both hydraulic and sedimentological studies, to understand the integral behavior of the confluences and verify that the proposed classification, not only have geometrical similarities, but its hydraulic and sedimentological operation are also similar. Due to difficulty to study many confluences, the best way is to chosee the representative and analyze it. Here we proposed an alternative to do it, that can be useful for scientist, enginnerings and students interested in to study confluences.


I was under the impression that work function should be measured in eV or meV but I have read literature stating 'work function resolution of 1-3 eV. Is it right?
In physics, for charged particles (such as electrons) the formula E= eV applies where E is energy, 'e' is the charge on an electron and V is volts (or millivolts).
The work function is the energy required to remove an electron from the surface of a conductor such as a metal. It is an energy and the units are typically 'eV' or alternatively'meV'.
The Kelvin probe actually measures a change in voltage either in volts or millivolts; sometimes this is called a surface potential change. So the difference between work function changes (measured in eV) and surface potential changes (measured in volts) is simply the charge on the electron 'e'. Most scientists and engineers recognise this and use the two terms independently.
You could take the following view: The Kelvin probe reports surface potential changes in mV, calibrating the tip work function and converting the measured voltage value to a sample work function allows you to quote in eV.
In summary, whilst technically correct, the work function resolution should be stated as 1-3 meV.
In addition the work function resolution is a function of the tip size. So for a larger tip (1-2 cm diameter) we will have 0.1 meV resolution. As our new Kelvin probe tip holder (which is an option) allows us to use any tip diameter then in our new literature we are quoting a work function resolution from 0.1 meV, or indeed 100 µeV.

text: We address anomalous transport phenomena in arrays of semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots): Transient power-law decay of current as a response to a step in large bias voltage applied across the array, as well as memory effects observed after successive applications of the bias voltage. A novel phenomenological model of transport in such systems is proposed, capable of rationalizing both anomalous transport and memory. The model describes electron transport by a stationary Levy process of transmission events and therefore requires no time dependence of system properties. The long tail in the waiting time distribution gives rise to a nonstationary response in the presence of a voltage pulse. Noise measurements agree well with the predicted non-Poissonian fluctuations in current. We briefly discuss possible microscopic mechanisms that could cause the anomalous statistics in transmission.

Apple's iPhone Naming Scheme Could Lead to Confusion
With the introduction of the iPhone 4, Apple changed the naming scheme for its popular smartphone yet again, possibly leaving some eager consumers confused about what kind of device they'll actually be getting.
To be clear, iPhone 4 refers to the fourth-generation iPhone to be released since the first model in 2007. It does not refer to the fast "4G" data network.
Apple's first smartphone was known simply as the iPhone. It was followed in 2008 by the iPhone 3G, with "3G" referring to the phone's ability to work on 3G networks (the previous iPhone could only get online on slower, EDGE networks).
In 2009, Apple announced the iPhone 3GS, which was virtually identical to the iPhone 3G, with the main distinction being a faster processor (the "S" stood for speed). [Read "11 iPhone 4 Features You Need to Know About."]
Because of Apple's previous naming scheme, consumers unfamiliar with the iPhone might assume the 4 in the new iPhone's name refers to the faster 4G network currently available from a few carriers such as Sprint.
That's not the case: Like the 3G and 3GS models, the iPhone 4 can only get online using Wi-Fi and 3G networks.


If you notice that the more money you have, the less money your brother has, you've discovered an inverse relationship: when your bank account increases, his decreases.
The word inverse traces back to the Latin inversus, from the past participle of invertere, meaning "turn upside down" or "turn about." It's a good word to use when you need to describe one of those topsy-turvy relationships in which when one thing goes up, the other goes down. It can also be used in a broader sense to mean "opposite." You've probably heard someone begin a sentence by saying, "And the inverse was true for so and so..." That just means the opposite was true.

A dual reaction-mass dynamic vibration absorber for active vibration control
MetadataShow full item record
Traditional dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) consist of a mass-spring-damper system and are an effective means of attenuating structural vibration over a narrow frequency band. The effective bandwidth of the DVA can be increased by the addition of an externally controlled force, generally applied between the reaction-mass and the primary structure. Such devices are known as hybrid DVAs. This thesis presents a new hybrid DVA configuration which utilizes two reaction-masses in parallel. On this proposed hybrid dual-mass (DM) DVA, the control force is applied between the reaction-masses. It is shown that in broadband control applications, the proposed DM-DVA requires less control force to achieve the same primary attenuation as the traditional hybrid single-mass (SM) DVA. The hybrid DM-DVA was compared to the hybrid SM-DVA with two tests. A numerical simulation of the hybrid DVAs attenuating a single-degree-of-freedom structure was performed. To achieve an equal amount of primary attenuation, the hybrid SM-DVA required 65% higher root-mean-square (RMS) control effort than the hybrid DV-DVA. The numerical model also demonstrated that the hybrid DM-DVA was less sensitive to changes in the system as compared to the hybrid SM-DVA. Additionally, a prototype hybrid DVA was built which could be configured as either the hybrid SM or DM-DVA. The prototype hybrid DVA was used with the feedforward Filtered-X LMS algorithm to control the vibration of a fixed-free beam. The hybrid SM and DM-DVAs attenuated the primary response by a factor of 11.5 and 12.3, while requiring control efforts of 4.9 and 2.7 V/N RMS, respectively. Thus, the hybrid DM-DVA required 45% less control effort while yielding a higher attenuation ratio in this experiment. These results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed DM-DVA for broadband control applications as compared to the traditional SM-DVA.

Projecting meaning
Projecting meaning into Chinese characters
Chinese characters look complicated, but they're mostly made up of smaller simpler characters.
I love learning these because every character is like a tiny poem.
language = words 讠+ five 五+ mouth 口
So a language is words that five mouths speak? Brilliant!
thanks = words 讠+ body 身+ inch 寸
Hmmm... so.... when you say thanks, you speak words that give a body an inch of space? Interesting.
name = evening 夕 + mouth 口
So your real name is what's spoken by a mouth in the evening? That's kind of romantic.
They're so vivid. I try to imagine the historical or cultural meaning behind each one.
Projecting meaning into Talking Heads lyrics
Talking Heads were a great band from the late-70s to mid-80s. Their lyrics were really evocative and mysterious. Specific but vague. Made you wonder what they were really about.
Here's an example:
Watch out - you might get what you're after
Cool babies - strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
All wet - hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown - dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house
I read an interview with David Byrne from the Talking Heads who said that many of their lyrics were just random. Literally!
They would write evocative phrases onto little pieces of paper, then throw them into a bowl, and shuffle them up. Then they'd pull them out in random order, and put them into the song in that order. They did this because they liked how the listener creates meaning that wasn't intended.
Hearing one phrase next to another makes you assume they're connected in a meaningful way. But nope. It was just random. You made that meaning yourself.
Back to Chinese.
I have a Chinese dictionary called Wenlin that tells the history behind every character.
I looked up,, and the rest, and found that those characters are just phonetic. Those composite character bits were not chosen for their meaning, just their sound.
So... it seems I've just been putting the meanings into them, myself. They actually had no meaning.
But even knowing that, I choose to keep doing it. It's poetic. It's beautiful.
Projecting meaning into everything?
How many other things in life really have no meaning?
She was born April 12. He was born September 22. What does it mean?
One day you ride your bike instead of taking the bus. That day your usual bus gets into a big accident. What does it mean?
Black cat crosses your path as you walk under a ladder on Friday the 13th. What does it mean?
Nothing at all.
Nothing has inherent meaning. It is what it is and that's it.
We just choose to project meaning onto things. It feels good.
Even if presented with proof that it's totally random or neutral, we decide it has meaning anyway. It makes life more poetic and beautiful.
(And what if you've projected some bad meaning onto something, and it's getting you down? Don't forget that none of it is true. You're the one that put the meaning into it. You can just as easily take all the meaning out of it.)

Security lapse at India's Jio exposed coronavirus symptom checker results
Since the start of the outbreak, governments and companies have scrambled to develop apps and websites that can help users identify COVID-19 symptoms.
India's largest cell network Jio, a subsidiary of Reliance, launched its coronavirus self-test symptom checker in late March, just before the Indian government imposed a strict nationwide lockdown to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus. The symptom checker allows anyone to check their symptoms from their phone or Jio's website to see if they may have become infected with COVID-19.
But a security lapse exposed one of the symptom checker's core databases to the internet without a password, TechCrunch has found.
Jio's coronavirus symptom checker. One of its databases exposed users' responses. (Image: TechCrunch)
Security researcher Anurag Sen found the database on May 1, just after it was first exposed, and informed TechCrunch to notify the company. Jio quickly pulled the system offline after TechCrunch made contact. It's not known if anyone else accessed the database.
"We have taken immediate action," said Jio spokesperson Tushar Pania. "The logging server was for monitoring performance of our website, intended for the limited purpose of people doing a self-check to see if they have any COVID-19 symptoms."
The database contains millions of logs and records starting April 17 through to the time that the database was pulled offline. Although the server contained a running log of website errors and other system messages, it also ingested vast numbers of user-generated self-test data. Each self-test was logged in the database and included a record of who took the test — such as "self" or a relative, their age, and their gender.
The data also included the person's user agent, a small snippet of information about the user's browser version and the operating system, often used to load the website properly but can also be used to track a user's online activity.
The database also contains individual records of those who signed up to create a profile, allowing users to update their symptoms over time. These records contained the answers to each question asked by the symptom checker, including what symptoms they are experiencing, who they have been in contact with, and what health conditions they may have.
Some of the records also contained the user's precise location, but only if the user allowed the symptom checker access to their browser or phone's location data.
We've posted a redacted portion of one of the records below.
A redacted portion of the exposed database. (Image: TechCrunch)
From one sample of data we obtained, we found thousands of users' precise geolocation from across India. TechCrunch was able to identify people's homes using the latitude and longitude records found in the database.
Most of the location data is clustered around major cities, like Mumbai and Pune. TechCrunch also found users in the United Kingdom and North America.
The exposure could not come at a more critical time for the Indian telecoms giant. Last week Facebook invested $5.7 billion for a near-10% stake in Jio's Platforms, valuing the Reliance subsidiary at about $66 billion.
Jio did not answer our follow-up questions, and the company did not say if it will inform those who used the symptom tracker of the security lapse.

January 2011 in Network Rail and Suppliers
Trees overhanging the line in Scotland are a concern for one reporter. It has been noted that large trees overhang the line between Dunkeld & Birnam station and Inverness, creating a tunnel effect in some areas.
It is felt by the reporter that Network Rail have done very little to address the issue, even since a train struck a tree in the area on 7 September. The reporter would like to see the affecting trees in the area removed before snowfall increases the risk of trees/branches fouling the line. Please comment.
The tree that was struck in the Dunkeld area had come from
beyond Network Rail's boundary. On the day in question our Lineside
Engineer attended on site and identified other trees that were at
risk and subsequently these have been removed.
Network Rail has commissioned a national lineside survey that is surveying all trees within and beyond our boundaries. This survey ranks all trees deemed to be at risk and then these are removed within a defined timescale. The route in question is currently having this survey carried out.
Over and above the national lineside survey Network Rail has a robust inspection and reporting regime in place to manage lineside vegetation and issues arising from these inspections.
Network Rail works closely with government agencies; local councils and Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). Prior to any tree cutting works, we also make certain that our lineside neighbours are advised when all tree cutting takes place.

Identification of the Covariance Structure of Earnings using the GMM Estimator
O'Neill, Donal and Doris, Aedin and Sweetman, Olive (2010) Identification of the Covariance Structure of Earnings using the GMM Estimator. NUI Maynooth.
In this paper we study the performance of the GMM estimator in the context of the covariance structure of earnings. Using analytical and Monte Carlo techniques we examine the sensitivity of parameter identification to key features such as panel length, sample size, the degree of persistence of earnings shocks and the evolution of inequality over time. We show that the interaction of transitory persistence with the time pattern of inequality determines identification in these models and offer some practical recommendations that follow from our findings.

Overcoming Challenges as an Entrepreneur with Disabilities
Life isn't easy when it comes to being a Person with Disabilities (PWDs). Whether its access to public transport, doing sports, going to school, or many other things we take for granted, PWDs often face challenges due to their physical disabilities.
With the social stigma PWDs face everyday, securing a job is especially hard for them as society often views them as a burden or unable to contribute to the community. This has greatly impacted not just their livelihood, but their self-esteem as well, despite their individual talent and skills.
At PSC, we often work very closely with the PWD community as we believe they have the ability to create opportunities for themselves. Through our partnership with Maybank Foundation, the Reach Independence & Sustainable Entrepreneurship (R.I.S.E) program is an Entrepreneurship program that aims to empower the marginalised community, particularly the PWDs, to increase their own income by running their own businesses.
Since 2014, we're constantly inspired by their determination and achievement in becoming successful business owners. Here's how we've seen them overcome their challenges as an entrepreneur.
1. Becoming Mentally Positive
Everyone has their own insecurities, and this is especially true for PWDs. Imagine being told you cannot do certain things because of your physical challenge for so many years and bearing negative remarks by so many people. Its a demotivating thought which often prevents most people in that mental state to even believe they can succeed.
At PSC, we first aim to change that thought through our Awareness and Change module. Participants are taught to change their mindset and FLIP their negative thoughts into positive ones. Through this exercise alone, we've seen many PWDs become motivated in their cause and often they would be able to find ways to work through their challenges.
2. Finding Ways to Work WITH Your Disability
Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses. And that's why even PWDs need to find ways that could complement their current skills and talent. With a positive attitude, anyone could find something they can do, and use it to their full potential.
We've seen a blind participant become an expert at body massages, a woman with Osteoporosis become a makeup guru, a wheelchair-bound person running a restaurant AND a tailoring business, and even a spinal cord injury victim becoming a specialist at modifying cars for others with disabilities.
Through their determination and strengths, we're inspired by their will to overcome their disabilities and use it to their advantage!
3. Hire People to Help
Running a business doesn't have to be a one-man show. For entrepreneurs with disabilities, teamwork is essential to a business' success.
As a thriving business owner, we've seen participants' confidence in themselves grow, often forgetting about their physical lack which helps them to hire others and eventually lead a team.
With the success of their growing business, we've seen participants create jobs for their community where fellow PWDs are given jobs and even able bodies individuals are also employed by them. This in turn has helped increase efficiency in the business operations as well as expanding the business.
4. Learn Proper Techniques as an Entrepreneur
Like any other business owner, knowledge is power and that's what we equip our participants with. Through our entrepreneurship program, participants are taught essential topics that can be easily implemented into their businesses such as the Blue Ocean theory, Sales Strategies, Customer Analysis, Customer Value Proposition, Financial Management and more.
With the proper training and mentoring, we've seen participants with disabilities soar through the success of their businesses. As a PWD, this is especially encouraging when they are given the right opportunity.
As an entrepreneur with disabilities, being physically challenged is not an issue in becoming a successful business owner. At PSC, we strongly believe that anyone with the right mindset and proper training has the chance of creating their own opportunities.

trans-2,3-diethyloxirane (or trans-3,4-epoxyhexane)
Work Step by Step
Since its a three-atom ring with one of them being O, it is an oxirane. There are two ethyl groups at carbon 2 and 3 respectively, so it 2,3-diethyl. And since they are trans to each other, it is trans-2,3-diethyloxirane. 3,4-epoxyhexane is also right because the oxygen is connected to the longest chain at carbon 3 and 4.

Abstract: Meanings in Early Celtic Art
Lecturer: Peter Wells
The style known as Early Celtic Art appeared around 500 BC in central and western Europe, replacing the geometrical ornament of the Early Iron Age. This new style, with its dynamic patterns of floral forms and abundant use of human and animal faces and figures, became the basis not only for the Celtic art of the Late Iron Age, but also for the art styles of the Late Roman and early medieval periods, Anglo-Saxon and Viking ornament, and later decorative fashions. Recent archaeological discoveries enable us to examine the first uses of this new style and to address the question of its meaning to the people who created and used it.

About The Project
What is the purpose of the Tally?
The Turtle Tally project was initiated and developed at the end of 2018. The aim was to research the topic of released pet terrapins in the UK as there was little available. The idea was to provide a survey that could be accessed by the general public to upload photos and information on terrapins seen whilst out and about similar to other wildlife citizen science projects. Terrapins (freshwater turtles) are widespread across Europe and released pets have had an impact on those populations due to competition for food and basking sites. The European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) was native here circa 8000 years ago but due to climatic changes they became extinct (although remnant populations are noted) so there are no native freshwater terrapins in the UK. Unlike in Europe, where released terrapins out-compete native species, this is not a factor here in the UK but we are uncertain of how these released pets impact the environment and what the welfare considerations are for them. Our research is evolving and we are investigating various related factors in this topic to provide evidence informing future decision making regarding these turtles and their welfare.
Using the locations and information that people provide, we can see if there are correlations between urban areas and release sites, the numbers seen in one sighting and types of habitat. This is purely an observational study so we are using the data to map out locations and linking with other groups and organisations, working on research that may help conserve native fauna and flora and the terrapins themselves. If you have any queries regarding the research, please do send an email using the 'Get in touch' link.

The second level perk of the Dynasty Legacy "Kin" states "Dynasty members get better education". In the game code this is achieved by setting the education variable for the ninth and final roll to success equaling three points and failure equaling two points. In essence the Legacy Perk provides the child a guaranteed two education variable points, with the final Education Roll providing an opportunity to earn one extra point. This Perk means a child will need to have successful Education Rolls on seven of the eight rolls to earn a four star education trait.

80 0.1% 5.5% 44.0% 50.3%
Traits factor[edit]
The game bases the education success chance on the Success Factor and the Failure Factor.
The Base Success Factor is 60, and increased by positive traits of the child and the guardian, the education matches with childhood trait, and the attributes of the guardian.
The Base Failure Factor is 40, and increased by negative traits of the child/guardian, the education mismatches the childhood trait, and when he doesn't have a guardian.
The outcome will be the formula below.
or a default 60% chance when there's no additional factors involved.
For instance, a child with the "Genius" congenital trait adds 20 to the Success Factor. Under this circumstance, the Genius trait increases the odds of a successful Education Roll from 60% to 66.6%. The example math is provided below.
A guardian with the intelligence trait of Genius provides a Success Factor of 15. If a genius child (20) is being educated by a genius guardian (15) the chances of a successful Education Roll becomes 70.4%, with the example math provided below.
At the age of 3 each child is assigned a Childhood Trait. If the child's Focus does not match the Trait there is a factor of 20 added to the Failure Factor. For instance, if a child has the trait "Bossy" and the focus is Diplomacy, the child would receive the factor of 20 to Failure Factor. In this circumstance, the chance of a successful Education Roll drops to 50%.
The positive Traits a child and guardian can have that increase the Success Factor are provided in the chart below.
Trait Child Trait Factor Guardian Trait Factor
 Genius 20 15
 Intelligent 15 10
 Quick / Shrewd 10 5
Childhood trait Matching 20 N/A
The negative Traits a child and guardian can have that increase the Failure Factor are provided in the chart below.
Trait Child Trait Factor Guardian Trait Factor
 Slow / Dull 10 5
 Stupid 15 10
 Imbecile 20 15
Childhood trait Not Matching 20 N/A
No Guardian N/A 20
Attributes factor[edit]
The success of the Education Roll is also determined by the guardian's relevant attribute points. The "Primary Attribute" for a guardian (more important attribute) is the one which matches the focus of the child, and is determined by that value times 0.4. A guardian's Diplomacy attribute is part of the Factor for a child with a diplomacy focus. The "Secondary Attribute" is the guardian's Learning, which is multiplied by 0.2. The formula is shown below.
For instance a child with a focus in Diplomacy has a guardian with a 10 Diplomacy Attribute and a 15 Learning Attribute will provide a Success Factor of +7.
Guardian Attribute Quick Math
Guardian Attribute Child Focus Learning Factor
5 2 2 2 2 2 1
10 4 4 4 4 4 2
15 6 6 6 6 6 3
20 8 8 8 8 8 4
25 10 10 10 10 10 5
30 12 12 12 12 12 6
The Education Roll bonus provided by guardians with congenital traits of Genius, Intelligent and Quick (or the non-congenital Shrewd) are significantly more important than the attributes of the guardian alone. Under these circumstances an "underachieving" Genius guardian can provide equal value with a character with amazing stats.
Therefore the most important factors when choosing a guardian are:
 1. Someone you trust not to kill your child
 2. Genius
 3. Intelligent
 4. Quick / Shrewd
 5. Value of Primary Attribute (which matches child's focus)
 6. Learning Attribute
A Genius guardian with 5 Diplomacy and Learning Attributes will provide a Factor of +18 (15 + 2 + 1) and successful Education Roll chance of 66% on a average child, while a guardian with 30 Diplomacy and 30 Learning Attributes will provide a Factor of +18 (12 + 6) and successful Education Roll chance of 66%.

Prowess trait[edit]
Children undergoing a Martial education can also receive a Prowess education trait when they come of age. To qualify, the child's culture or the educator's culture[6] must have the Knighthood innovation and the child must be of a gender that can become knights. The system that determines which Prowess trait the child gets is completely separate from the other education traits. The perks, spouse or universities don't influence the outcome.
When the child finishes their education, the game creates a temporary score for them, which starts equal to the Martial education level they obtained. Then, the game changes this score depending on the child's physical traits (multiple traits stack):
Trait Prowess Factor
 Herculean +3
 Robust, Strong, Giant +2
 Hale +1
 Delicate, Spindly, Wheezing, Hunchbacked, Inbred, Bleeder -1
 Frail, Weak, Dwarf -2
 Feeble -3
Lastly, there's a 25% chance the score increases +2, 25% chance it decreases by -2, and 50% chance it stays unchanged.
The final score is then the child's Prowess education level.
Each character in the game has a hidden "weight" value which ranges from -100 to 100. If your weight is -50 or below, you gain the Malnourished modifier, and the "Gain Weight" decision becomes available to you. If your weight is 50 or above, you gain the Obese modifier, and the "Lose Weight" decision becomes available to you.[7] Being obese or malnourished gives −1 Health.
In addition to a character's current weight, each character also has a hidden "target weight" value, based mostly on traits, which is the weight they are drifting toward. Every year, your real weight will drift closer to your target weight. When you feast, your target weight[8] increases by 7[9], and when you hunt, your target weight[10] decreases by 4[11]. Afterward, your weight will eventually drift back toward your target weight. The "Lose Weight" decision decreases your target weight, and the "Gain Weight" decision adds to your target weight. Ending those decisions brings your target weight back to what it was before.
Switching to a Martial lifestyle will move your target weight closer to 0 (so that if you are underweight, your target weight will increase somewhat, and if you are overweight, your target weight will decrease somewhat). Being a Novice Hunter, Hunter, or Master Hunter, will also move your target weight closer to 0 by successive amounts.
The following traits and events also affect a character's target weight:[7]
Effect on target weight Traits / Events
Large increase Gluttonous, Lazy, Comfort Eater, "Gain weight" decision
Moderate increase Drunkard, Hashishiyah, Gregarious, Greedy, Calm, Trusting, Legendary Reveler
Slight increase Patient, Arrogant, Ambitious, Eager Reveler, Famous Reveler
Slight decrease Shy, Humble, Zealous, Craven, Temperate
Moderate decrease Imprisoned, Diligent, Wrathful, Leper, Impatient, Content, Fickle, Vengeful, Generous
Large decrease Consumption, Cancer

Tear Catchers – For Those In Mourning
According to legend tear bottles were prevalent in ancient Roman times, when mourners filled small glass vials or cups with tears and placed them in burial tombs as symbols of love and respect. Sometimes women were even paid to cry into "cups", as they walked along the mourning procession. Those crying the loudest and producing the most tears received the most compensation, or so the legend goes. The more anguish and tears produced, the more important and valued the deceased person was perceived to be.The bottles used during the Roman era were lavishly decorated and some measured up to four inches in height.
In ancient Persia it is said that when a sultan returned from battle, he checked his wives' tear catchers to see who among them had wept in his absence and missed him the most.
Tear bottles reappeared during the Victorian period of the 19th century, when those mourning the loss of loved ones would collect their tears in bottles ornately decorated with silver and pewter. Special stoppers allowed the tears to evaporate. When the tears were gone, the mourning period would end.
However, the truth is perhaps somewhat different as most historians and archaeologists believe that these so-called "tear bottles" contained oily substances, perhaps fragrant ointments used as libations or to anoint the dead. Oddly enough, this theory was known well before modern chemical analyses, but so ingrained was the idea that these ancient bottles were "tear catchers," that people simply chose to ignore the facts and believe the romantic Victorian idea that they were tear catchers. The myth likely began with archaeologists and an oddly chosen term. Small glass bottles were often found in Greek and Roman tombs, and early scholars romantically dubbed them lachrymatories or tear bottles.

How many Norwegian domain names are there? How many new domain names are registered and how many are deleted? Who are the biggest registrars for Norwegian domain names? On this page you can find statistics about the Norwegian domain marked.
Since 17 March 1987.no has been the national top level domain for Norway. In 1989 the database consisted of 19 domain names. In 1995 the number had increased to more than 1000 domain names and in year 2000 we exceeded 50,000 registered Norwegian domain names. In 2020 we exceeded 800,000.
Development in the number of new registrations of domain names
Table view of development in the number of new registrations of domain names
Number of new domains
The graph shows the development in the number of new registrations of domain names per year from 1999 until today. Three conditions may have impacted the numbers. In February 2001 some big changes were made to the terms and conditions. Each holder could now order more than one domain name, and did not need to document rights to the name. In February 2004 it became possible to register domain names with national characters (æ, ø, å and some other characters). In June 2014 private individuals were permitted to register domain names directly under.no (previously they could only register under 'priv.no).
Domain names secured with DNSSEC
DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) is a security mechanism that is added to the domain name system. With DNSSEC the response to a domain inquiry is signed in a way that makes it possible to check that the response is from the right source and has not been changed on the way. DNSSEC was introduced on the Norwegian marked in December 2014.

The Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB) commemorates Treaties Recognition Week on November 2-6, joining school boards across the province in promoting education and awareness about treaty rights and treaty relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Ontario.
This year, the LKDSB Indigenous Education Team is continuing to focus on increasing awareness and understanding of Wampum Belts and their importance to understanding treaties and treaty relationships in Canada. During Treaties Recognition Week, students and staff will engage in curriculum activities ranging from painting with local Indigenous artist Moses Lunhum to presentations that address how Wampum Belts are used to communicate agreements and provide a mutual understanding of land stewardship and resource sharing.
"As part of an ongoing commitment to supporting Indigenous Education and increasing knowledge and understanding throughout the LKDSB, staff and students will participate in curriculum activities during Treaties Recognition Week to build on staff and students' understanding of Wampum Belts, treaties and treaty relationships in Canada," said Director John Howitt.
The LKDSB recognizes the traditional land of Aamjiwnaang First Nation; Eelŭnaapéewi Lahkéewiit (Delaware Nation), Kettle & Stony Point First Nation; and Walpole Island (Bkejwanong) First Nation. The LKDSB appreciates the ongoing support and partnership of the four First Nations to collectively promote education and mutual understanding of Indigenous histories and perspectives.

Volume strain: Due to the application of external force, if the volume of an elastic body is changed without changing its shape, the strain is called volume strain. It is measured by the unit change of volume.
Explanation: It is the ratio of the change in volume of a body to its original volume. If VV is the original volume of a body and V + ΔV is the volume of the body under the action of normal stress, the change in volume is ΔV.
Let the initial volume of an object = V and due to application of external force the change of volume = ΔV.
So, according to definition, volume strain = change of volume / original volume = ΔV /V
So, the volumetric strain is the unit change in volume, i.e. the change in volume divided by the original volume.


A councillor has responded to discussions regarding the possible rebranding of a student owned nightclub and the adjoining alley.
Lancaster University Students' Union have discussed the possibility of changing the name of a popular nightclub which has links to the slave trade.
This could include a change of the Sugarhouse name which union officials say would extend to the nearby Sugar House Alley.
Following discussions between union officers on Friday (September 12) Lancaster City Council have told LancsLive that they would work with any organisation hoping to "decolonise our history."
Councillor Jean Parr, Cabinet member with responsibility for arts, culture, leisure and tourism, said: "As part of the work we are doing with local community groups and the Black History Group to examine the area's connections to slavery and find ways to decolonise our history, we would be very happy to work with any organisations that wish to achieve the same aims."
Sugarhouse club in Lancaster.
Lancaster was once one of the largest trading sites in Britain and was known to have a major stake in the transatlantic slave trade.
It was home to several prominent slave trading families including the Rawlinsons and the Dodsons.
Originally the Sugarhouse nightclub was a processing plant and storage unit founded in 1684 which would have treated sugar imported from the West Indies.
Atree Ghosh, who works as the Students' Union vice president for union development, fears that the club and its name 'treads very close to normalising the atrocities of the slave trade.'
He told LancsLive: "Our union-owned nightclub is still called the Sugarhouse and is situated in the original location of the sugar processing warehouse.
"This connection with the slave trade is never really publicised to students despite it being the core reason behind the name for the venue.
"Discussing a possible name change acknowledges the dark past, and at least attempts to move to a more positive future for a venue that students love.
The student's union could seek to rename the Sugarhouse.
"This is in no way a decision, this is a discussion, we want to hear people's thoughts - without that we can't come to any decision, we want to hear what students think.
"We don't want to make any decision like this behind students backs. We just want to make students aware of the link between Sugarhouse and our history.
"This may result in us doing a remembrance plaque at the club, information explaining its past on our website and one of those options is renaming the club.
"But that will not be done without a referendum."
Lancaster was at the centre of several discussions about its links to the slave trade following worldwide Black Lives Matter protests.
Historian David Starkey was stripped of his honorary degree from the university after making controversial comments, while discussions were held over renaming some of the city's streets and historical buildings.
A gravestone to the Rawlinson family, mass slave traders in the city, was also desecrated by protestors.
Discussions over a possible rebranding of the Sugarhouse were held between several SU officials, including Atree, on Friday (September 11).
"Are we trying to "erase" history? Absolutely not," said the 22-year-old union development vice president.
"Not because it is a history that deserves "celebrating" but because erasing the past of the Sugarhouse is downright insulting to the victims of its past.
"Some students have suggested that renaming the club could make people forget about those links with the past."
Atree admitted that the nearby Sugar House Alley, which houses the nightclub, could also be the subject of a rebrand which lead to the recent comments from Lancaster City Council.


Contributory Value of Farm Buildings
Contributory Value of Farm Buildings
Bins 2017julyblog 002 74985eb187e3c
While new construction costs can be estimated from local contractors, determining the value of existing buildings is much more difficult. The tough question is how much are the old buildings worth? To determine value we need to think about what the building was designed for, whether it is still useful for that original intended use, or if it could possibly be used for something else. Each type of building has unique considerations when making these assessments.
A grain bin is an easy one. It is designed to store grain. Is it large enough that a producer would still want to use it? Does it have aeration fans or drying fans? Does it have unload augers? Once some of these questions are answered then the condition of the bin is looked at to see if there are maintenance issues that need to be fixed.
A study was conducted of many improved farm sales. The study indicated the grain bins contributed $0.20 to $0.80 per bushel. This is a large range in value. The newer, larger bins contributed the most value while smaller, older bins were at the low end of the range. Small bins without unload augers or aeration fans did not contribute any value to the farm sales, even if they were in use.
Machine sheds can be difficult. With modern farm equipment getting larger year after year, the size of the building is an important factor. Is the building tall enough to accommodate a combine or large piece of tillage equipment? Are the height and width of the door large enough for the equipment? Once these factors are determined, the condition of the building can be considered.
A similar study as the grain bins was conducted of machine sheds and resulted in a range from $0.50 to over $4.00 per square foot. The size of the buildings and the door opening size are important factors in the values. Machine sheds with a concrete floor are typically near the high end of the range.

Compute the Running Minimum
Compute the running minimum of a 3-by-2 matrix input, dsp_examples_u, using the Minimum block.
Open the model.
model = fullfile(matlabroot,'examples','dsp','ex_runningminimum_ref'); open_system(model)
The Input processing parameter is set to Columns as channels (frame based). The block processes the input as a two-channel signal with a frame size of three. The running minimum is reset at t = 2 by an impulse to the block's Rst port.
Run the model.
In the Running mode, the block outputs the minimum value over each channel since the last reset. At t = 2, the reset event occurs. The minimum value in the second column changes to 6, and then 2, even though these values are greater than 1, which was the minimum value since the previous reset event.
Close the model.

I'm a bit confused. The official documentation (_URL_ says that ddx(input) is the partial derivative of the input with respect to the "screen-space x-coordinate."
My calculus is fine, but how can it tell what the input is coming from? If I passed it a function, fine, I can imagine what it would do, but the derivative of a number is always zero...?
Is it just a scaling? Like, this would get scaled to one tenth of its size at this distance, so it returns one tenth? But then it doesn't need an input...
Can someone give a quick explanation of what's actually happening?

 \$\begingroup\$ ddx and ddy do magic that you cannot do yourself. They have access to additional information from the rasterization pipeline that you can't acquire from within a pixel shader. I'm unsure exactly which formula they use; I've been led to believe they use an estimation technique, but I don't know for sure. \$\endgroup\$ – Sean Middleditch Sep 24 '13 at 17:33
 - \$\begingroup\$ That's deeply weird, but still. What does ddx(5) actually represent? If it says.1, how should I interpret that? Or -6? \$\endgroup\$ – Richard Rast Sep 24 '13 at 17:35
 - 1
 \$\begingroup\$ ddx(5) is kind of pointless. Use it with an input value, and that will give you the derivative of that value with respect to neighboring pixels in a block. Again, I don't know how precisely it calculates values, but asking for the derivative of a non-input may well just be undefined behavior and produce garbage. See _URL_ for more information than I can provide. \$\endgroup\$ – Sean Middleditch Sep 24 '13 at 17:41
 - \$\begingroup\$ I am not sure but it might well be that the HLSL compiler is actually doing full symbolic differentiation of the expression that you pass to the ddx/ddy. blogs.msdn.com/b/chuckw/archive/2011/03/08/… _URL_… \$\endgroup\$ – Ziriax Feb 1 '15 at 21:11
 - \$\begingroup\$ What does it do? The ONLY slightly reasonable thing, obviously. \$\endgroup\$ – MickLH Jul 10 '16 at 20:54
Internally, GPUs never run one instance of a pixel shader at a time. At the finest level of granularity, they are always running 32-64 pixels at the same time using a SIMD architecture. Within this, the pixels are further organized into 2x2 quads, so each group of 4 consecutive pixels in the SIMD vector corresponds to a 2x2 block of pixels on screen.
Derivatives are calculated by taking differences between the pixels in a quad. For instance, ddx will subtract the values in the pixels on the left side of the quad from the values on the right side, and ddy will subtract the bottom pixels from the top ones. The differences can then be returned as the derivative to all four pixels in the quad.
Since the pixel shader is running in SIMD, it's guaranteed that the corresponding value is in the same register at the same time for all the pixels in the quad. So whatever expression or value you put into ddx or ddy, it will be evaluated in all four pixels of the quad, then the values from different pixels subtracted as described above.
So taking the derivative of a constant value will give zero (as you'd expect from calculus, right?) because it's the same constant value in all four pixels.
Also note that there are "coarse" and "fine" derivatives, ddx_coarse/ddy_coarse and ddx_fine/ddy_fine. An explanation of the distinction is given here. Just plain ddx/ddy are aliases for the coarse versions.
BTW, the reason this functionality exists is that GPUs internally have to take derivatives of texture coordinates in order to do mipmap selection and anisotropic filtering. Since the hardware needs the capability anyway (you can use any arbitrary expression for texture coordinates in a shader), it was easy enough to also expose it to shader programmers directly.
 - \$\begingroup\$ +1; I've found this useful when applying a perturbation effect to a texture; the perturbed texcoords gave some colour distortion, but using tex2Dgrad with derivatives from the original (unperturbed) texcoords gave an undistorted result. \$\endgroup\$ – Maximus Minimus Sep 24 '13 at 20:07
 - \$\begingroup\$ Alright, after some thought I think I figured out my confusion. In my mind, ddx works like every other function in a traditional programming language; you evaluate the input, turn it to a float or whatever, then do the outside function (ddx) to it. But this is differentit takes the input string, evaluates it in several places, calculates a derivative, and reports the result. Is that about right? \$\endgroup\$ – Richard Rast Sep 24 '13 at 22:59
 - 1
 \$\begingroup\$ _USER_ Right. You can think of ddx as operating on the expression you pass into it, rather than the value. \$\endgroup\$ – Nathan Reed Sep 24 '13 at 23:22
 - \$\begingroup\$ But see, that's weird enough that it should be in the documentation. I can think of no other time in my programming life where that has been the case. \$\endgroup\$ – Richard Rast Sep 24 '13 at 23:23
 - \$\begingroup\$ Nathan Reed mentioned that GPUs use these functions for mipmap selection. You can also use them to force the GPU to select a desired mipmap level or to prevent artifacts from incorrect mip-level selection. The process is described on pages 163 and 164 of Shader X3. \$\endgroup\$ – JamesHoux Dec 5 '13 at 17:44

Efficient Compressive Phase Retrieval with Constrained Sensing Vectors
Bibtex »Metadata »Paper »Reviews »
Sohail Bahmani, Justin Romberg
We propose a robust and efficient approach to the problem of compressive phase retrieval in which the goal is to reconstruct a sparse vector from the magnitude of a number of its linear measurements. The proposed framework relies on constrained sensing vectors and a two-stage reconstruction method that consists of two standard convex programs that are solved sequentially.In recent years, various methods are proposed for compressive phase retrieval, but they have suboptimal sample complexity or lack robustness guarantees. The main obstacle has been that there is no straightforward convex relaxations for the type of structure in the target. Given a set of underdetermined measurements, there is a standard framework for recovering a sparse matrix, and a standard framework for recovering a low-rank matrix. However, a general, efficient method for recovering a jointly sparse and low-rank matrix has remained elusive.Deviating from the models with generic measurements, in this paper we show that if the sensing vectors are chosen at random from an incoherent subspace, then the low-rank and sparse structures of the target signal can be effectively decoupled. We show that a recovery algorithm that consists of a low-rank recovery stage followed by a sparse recovery stage will produce an accurate estimate of the target when the number of measurements is $\mathsf{O}(k\,\log\frac{d}{k})$, where $k$ and $d$ denote the sparsity level and the dimension of the input signal. We also evaluate the algorithm through numerical simulation.

pps-gpio-poll is a Linux kernel module which provides a /dev/pps* device using a GPIO pin as the PPS source. With an NTP daemon like chrony or ntpd it can be used to accurately synchronize the system clock with a reference time source.
Unlike the pps-gpio module (which is included in the Linux tree) it doesn't use interrupts. It uses a high-resolution timer and waits for the GPIO value to change in a busy loop instead. This means the PPS samples are more accurate and have less jitter, but more CPU time is consumed. Another difference is that the number of the GPIO pin is a parameter of the kernel module instead of relying on Device Tree.
This is a continuation of the openwrt-stratum1 project by Gabs Ricalde.

A valid table name in the geodatabase cannot start with a number, it has to start with a character.
Follow proper table naming conventions:
- Names must begin with a letter, not a number or special character such as an asterisk (*) or percent sign (%).
- Names should not contain spaces. If you have a two-part name for your table or feature class, connect the words with an underscore (_), for example, garbage_routes.
- Names should not contain reserved words, such as select or add. Consult your DBMS documentation for additional reserved words.
- Names are limited to 32 characters. The database and schema names do not count toward your 32 characters.

Police in Brazil Killed Record Amount of People in 2020
An average of 17 people a day, totaling at least 6,416 people, were killed by police in Brazil during the year of 2020. These staggering totals set the highest amount ever recorded since tracking police killings in the country of over 211 million people. The 2020 numbers, compiled by the Brazilian Public Security Forum, are a 190% increase from 2013. Black Brazilians were killed at the highest rate, accounting for 79% of the deaths by police while only representing 56% of the population.
Non-profit Brazilian Public Security Forum released the data in their annual Brazilian Yearbook of Public Security which analyzes information provided by state, public security, civil, military, and federal police, among other sources. Over 11,000 people were killed by police during the five-year period of 2009-2013, averaging around 2,240 killings a year by police.
The vast majority of the families of those killed by police never receive justice and the lack of accountability has led to the Human Rights Watch seeking a dedicated prosecutorial body, not directly connected to the police, to handle cases of police abuse.
Large criminal organizations controlling swaths of heavily populated Brazilian cities are deeply connected to security forces controlled by the military and state and draw their roots from the two decades of Brazilian military dictatorship that ended in 1985. Evidence shows police involvement in criminal factions, militias, and death squads, like those linked to President Jair Bolsonaro's family that killed Marielle Franco in 2018, a human rights advocate and politician. These connections have helped to fuel the rise in police killings and allow for little accountability.

In the state of Rio de Janeiro, well known worldwide for its city with the same name, beautiful beaches and its nightlife, police killed 1,245 people in 2020. Based on the population of the state, one in every 12,851 residents are killed by police. Comparatively, police killed 1,126 people in the U.S. in 2020, which is one in every 291,296 residents. According to research collective Mapping Police Violence, of the 1,126 killed by U.S. police last year, 28% were Black, despite the Black population being only 13% of the total country.
Ultimately, the numbers from Brazil are staggering in comparison to the U.S. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, the police are 2,167 times more likely to kill you in than in the U.S.

The state of Rio de Janeiro also recorded seven of the top ten cities with the highest rates of police violence: Japeri, Itaguaí, Angra dos Reis, São Gonçalo, Queimados, Mesquita and Belford Roxo.
Those killings have continued in 2021, despite the Federal Supreme Court (STF) prohibiting police raids in the favelas (ADFP 635) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In late March 2021, Rio de Janeiro resident, Thainã de Meideiros, told Unicorn Riot that although ordered to stop raids, the police keep "coming up with excuses" to violate the legislative ruling.
Meideiros is part of the Papo Reto Collective, an organization focused on human rights, culture, harm reduction, health, and education in Complexo do Alemão, a large group of favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
Papo Reto was among a coalition of other collectives, including Black movement groups and those ran by mothers and relatives of lost loved ones from the favelas, as the initial groups to conjure up the motions that the STF ruled upon, the ADPF 635, or 'ADPF of the Favelas'. Setting a historical precedent, with ADPF 635 enacted, these collectives are recognized as amici curiae (advisors with the court based on their special expertise).
An ADPF is a Claim of Non-Compliance with a Fundamental Precept, a lawsuit claiming a violation of the Brazilian constitution by a governmental agency. Citing excessive police violence and new security policies allowing further abuses, the lawsuit was filed by the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB) in 2019.
In August 2020, the STF confirmed the claim of non-compliance and ordered the halting of violent police operations. Yet, police operations continued in certain favelas. In April 2021, Supreme Court Justice Edson Fachin ruled in favor of requests in the motions and in June 2021, the STF issued an emergency restraining order on the police.
In short, it is proposed that the State of Rio de Janeiro prepare and submit to the STF, within a maximum period of 90 (ninety) days, a plan aimed at reducing police lethality and controlling human rights violations by the security forces in Rio de Janeiro, which contains objective measures, specific timetables and forecast of the necessary resources for its implementation. In addition, ADPF 635 addresses the following topics: end of the use of helicopters in police operations, protection of schools, guarantee of the right to participation and social control in public security policies, allowing participation and access to justice, expertise, and evidence to civil society and social movements as one of the main tools in resolving investigations into cases of murder and enforced disappearances.
ADPF 635 – Public Ministry of the State of Rio de Janeiro
Enforcing the 'ADPF of the Favelas' has, however, proven difficult after the STF ruling. Civil and military police made what many deem as reprisal killings in several districts to show they don't answer to the courts. Prosecutors have also been overruling Access to Information laws and making police records inaccessible to the public. For a deeper look into ADPF 635, see RioOnWatch's two part installment: 1, 2.
Meideiros lives in Complexo do Alemão, Rio de Janeiro, which has seen its share of military and police occupations and terror. Three months before STF ordered the suspension of police operations, 13 people were killed by police in one operation in Complexo do Alemão.
Just 15 minutes away from Alemão is Jacarezinho, Rio de Janeiro. On May 6, 2021, authorities committed the deadliest massacre in Brazilian history, killing 28 people during a failed police operation targeting drug traffickers in the favela. One officer died during the operation that lasted nearly seven hours with many of the 28 deaths occurring execution style.
The police denied wrongdoing, saying there were no irregularities or excesses of abuse. The operation had the initial objective of arresting 21 people under investigation, and led to the death of 28, not all of whom had arrest warrants. Three were arrested in total. This initially led to many organizations and even governmental agencies coming out in defense of the dead and the residents before falling silent with the fear of possible retaliation looming.
Over time, the "massacre" of Jacarezinho has fallen into national oblivion. Despite the murderous raid being so recent, there are almost no media discussions or local or national conversation about the operation anymore. This can likely be attributed to the fact that many peripheral Brazilians (those living in the favelas and peripheries of inner cities) have become desensitized to this type of violence. Decades of military occupations and urban pacification by armed authorities in Brazil have caused widespread cognitive dissonance and mental trauma.
"In no country in the world would the 28 deaths in one police intervention have been accepted and forgotten. But, we are in Brazil and here everything ends up in samba and/or pizza.
Anonymous Brazilian
Beyond Rio de Janeiro, there were over 5,000 more people killed by police throughout the country last year, including 814 killed in São Paulo. In lower-income territories, police abusing their authority is common and mistrust occurs between them and the community they serve.

Due to continuing police killings, many states are taking steps in attempts to reduce the number of deaths. A total of 18 police battalions in the state of São Paulo now have body cameras. This has resulted in a 53% reduction in the amount of police killings in the state and in June 2021 no one was killed by officers outfitted with cameras. Yet, military police not outfitted with cameras killed 22 that month.
Even with the new measures starting to be enacted to quell police terror throughout the country, already 6,160 people in Brazil have been killed as of September 7, 2021; pacing the country for another record-setting year of police killings.

Building physics in modular construction
Outstanding properties
Building physics properties for modular buildings are easily the equal of those offered by conventionally constructed buildings. Fire prevention and sound and thermal insulation meet the prescribed or desired levels in system assembly, ensuring that modular buildings meet the standards valid in each country or region.
Fire prevention
The country-specific requirements and standards for fire prevention, such as DIN 4102, for example, are met in standardised ALHO modular buildings, and fire prevention classes between F30 and F120 can be reached. The results are repeatedly confirmed by ongoing in-house fire tests and by independent reports from reputable fire prevention institutions.
Thermal insulation
When it comes to thermal insulation, ALHO modular buildings naturally meet all the requirements of the relevant country-specific standards with a correspondingly high level of component insulation. Renewable energies such as solar power, photovoltaics or combined power-heat systems can also be integrated into modular buildings without any problems.
Sound insulation
ALHO modular buildings provide very good sound insulation as an integral component of the system. The double-shell wall and ceiling system means that the relevant sound insulation requirements can easily be met. Generally, the sound insulation values measured in the completed modular building are actually much better than the values required by law, both between the storeys and between different rooms on the same level.

How Our Hats are Sized
Hats are measured by the inside circumference at the bottom of the hat's crown (the sweatband) and measured in centimeters. To make sure you have your correct hat size, you'll need to measure the circumference of your head or where you generally like to wear your hat. Do this by wrapping a measuring tape around the crown of your head, placing the tape one to two fingers width above your eyebrows and one finger above your ears. Alternatively, use a piece of string and then measure the length.
Whatever your measurement, add 1cm to determine your correct hat size. Example: head measurement of 56cm wears size 57 hat.

 1. Heliopolis is a Greek word that means "city of the sun." Two cities were given this title by the ancient Greeks, one in Egypt and one in Baalbek in Syria. Egypt's Heliopolis, located near modern Cairo, was originally a center for sun worship for the ancient Egyptians. There is even a reference to it in the Bible, where it's called On. The city later became a center for learning philosophy and astronomy. However, the center's importance waned and it was eventually deserted, in 332 B.C., when Alexandria was founded.

Important: Please read the Qt Code of Conduct -
Get signal on activate a certain cell in a tableview
 - Is there a way to get a signal when a certain cell (or column) in a qtableview loses the focus or get activated (a QAbstractItemView witch is inherid by a qtableview holds the signal "activated").
 Is it possible with a connect statement similar to this:
 connect(ui->myTableview->"here I don't know how to point to cell 0, 1",SIGNAL(activated), this, SLOT(myFunction))
 If it is possible like in the connect statement above, how do I write the sender (e.g. cell 0,1 in the tableview) correct
 Or is there an other way??
 Thank you in advance!

Ginseng Rush in Minnesota
Lass, William E
This article discuses the history of the ginseng "boom" that took place in Minnesota, including the lower Minnesota River Valley, in the late 1850s. the gathering of wild ginseng root for sale to markets in China was a major economic activity for the region, and helped to mitigate the impact of a financial depression following the bank failures of the Panic of 1857. Ginseng became known as the "weed that saved Minnesota." The author also describes the ginseng market following its boom period, and the shift form wild to cultivated ginseng in the early twentieth century.

Brooklyn Museum Identifies Maryann's Statue
Remember the statue Sam picked up at Maryann's house in True Blood's season premiere? He remembered it from his encounter with Maryann as a 17-year-old, too. Clearly that statue is significant, but what's the big deal? The Brooklyn Museum has some clues: they have a similar statue in their collection, called "Bird Lady". This statue dates back to around 3500 B.C.E. in Egypt. The symbolism, function, and identity of the figure are not certain; however, similar female figures painted on vessels from the same era appear to be goddesses, because they are always larger than the male "priests" shown with them.
Is this a clue that Maryann is a goddess? Is she 5000 years old? Or is it just another antique she likes to display?

Dishing it out
The woman, with two children at her side, is breast-feeding an infant. She may symbolise the act of Charity. The figurine is an example of one of the more decorative pieces produced by the porcelain factory in Bow. The piece dates from the middle of the 1750s.
The Bow Porcelain factory was founded at Stratford in 1747. Bow porcelain was created to compete with the popular imported oriental porcelain. But it soon established its own market within Britain. Unlike London's other main porcelain factory of the time at Chelsea, Bow focused on wares for everyday use such as cups and bowls. These were decorated in blue and white patterns imitating oriental designs.
Centre for industry
With its location east of London, on the banks of the River Lea, Bow was well-situated for deliveries of raw materials. Other factories nearby included a calico-printing works.
