 4. DropBox Conflicted Files
Dropbox doesn't contain any functionality that enables it to merge various copies into a single file. You will have to either go through all the instances of a single file by yourself or use a third-party software, if you can find one. Going by the manual way can particularly be very tiring as well a time consuming, but this is probably the only way you can be assured of not unintentionally erasing any critical change that was made to the parent file and saved in one of the copies.
Understanding the problem
Conflicted copies arise most commonly because two people have attempted to edit a file at the same time from different locations. Each person has a copy open on their end, they're constantly making changes, and then all of them try to save those changes, resulting in a complete mess like situation. This is one situation which Dropbox simply isn't equipped to resolve. Instead of making an assumption and deleting one version, or attempting to merge multiple versions on its own, Dropbox creates conflicting copies to preserve the work done across different locations.
Solution 1: Removing the conflicted files
If you simply wish to cleanly delete the conflicted variants of your document and continue with the existing primary document, that is as easy as it can be! All you've got to do is make sure you don't have any conflicting versions still networked in from any other location(s) and then go ahead and delete the conflicting versions from Dropbox. The problem stands resolved in an instance.
How to identify conflicted copies
Edit the files as usual, and then check for any conflicted files in the Dropbox folder. If there are any conflicting files indeed, they will appear as the following screenshot. Remove one of them to solve the conflicted file problem.
Conflicted copies detected
Solution 2: Use Read-only lock for Windows users
Windows users can use the Read-only attribute from the properties area of the files that are more likely to be conflicted. But this may be not an ideal solution when the user is dealing across multiple kinds of platforms.
 1. Right-click on the appropriate file, and select Properties.
 2. Select Read-only from the attribute list.
Solution 3: Use a folder named "Your Name –in USE"
Files are more likely to be conflicted when all the parties working on them, aren't aware of changes being continuously made to them. For this reason, use a separate folder and name it as In USE to signal to all the parties that files in this folder are being edited from edited from multiple locations simultaneously.
How to merge Dropbox files that have become conflicted
Now, if you want to preserve both sets of changes, that's going to be a little more tricky. Dropbox doesn't have any built-in solutions for such a situation, so you're going to need to work it out with third party tools or a manual solution. This can be a major pain or very easy, depending on what sort of file you're looking at, how familiar you are with iteration software for that file type, and how many differences exist between the versions.
In a worst-case scenario, you'll need to manually adjust one version to contain all of the appropriate content from the variants, then follow the previous set of instructions to delete the redundant versions. This can be very time consuming, but it well might be your only option if you want to preserve everything from two or more conflicted files.
Avoiding future conflicted copies
Once you've resolved the issue one way or the other, you can take further steps to avoid this in the future. Whether the issue arose because two or more people worked on the document at the same time or because you had it open on multiple systems, there are three ways to prevent it from arising in the future.
 - Improve communication between collaborators
 - Move documents that are being modified to a different subfolder, so only the most relevant people can access and edit them
 - Move documents from Dropbox to a local folder while they're being worked on, so nothing can possibly interfere
And there you have it—simple solutions to a common difficulty with Dropbox (and many similar backup and file sharing solutions). If mistakes are made again, and conflicted copies pop up, you'll know exactly what to do next time.

UK Spaceport Alliance and SSLC Hold Workstreams as the UK Inches Closer to a Launch
19th Nov 2020
UK Rocket Launch
The SSLC (Scottish Space Leadership Council) led an initiative that lasted several weeks and included all UK launching site developers. The talks were conducted to bring together all key players after the conclusion of a consultation.
The UK government had initially published the consultation on 29th July 2020. It entailed lively talks and conducting further research. The debate also went on about how all the regulations on the proposal were to be implemented successfully.
There's a need for a more collaborative space industry in the UK as per the highlights of this workstream. All UK stakeholders were notified of the need to address specific areas of space advancements.
UK Spaceport a Part of Workstreams Addressing UK Launch Missions
On top of other aspects, the workstreams spearheaded talks on how launches may impact the environment as well as the safety matters entailed. All main participants were required to grasp the role each plays in terms of risks, liabilities and issues of insurance. This will create useful methods in terms of all operations.
Out of the mainstream, the UK spaceport and the SSCL concluded on the need for a regulator. Accomplishing this won't just be by filling out the questionnaire but also coming up with proposals that will impact the UK space industry. They identified that questions on these questionnaires can be interpreted differently and that more input is required.
With that, the UK can position itself to come up with regulations that affect the industry in the UK and across the globe. All this is for smallsat launching services. It will immensely benefit the UK space industry's commercial efforts to grow to its potential and contribute to the UK economy.
The UK accomplishments through this approach were highlighted in recent events held by the council. It highlighted how beneficial this collaborative move by the UK spaceport sector in understanding issues facing the industry.
Additionally, these events' output included actions and recommendations that led to an agreement for further advancement. The UK Spaceports Alliance chair, John Innes, expressed gratitude for all the dedication members showed during the workstreams.

The UISlider control offers a way to continuously get values from the user within a range of set values. In the Interface Builder library of controls, there is only a horizontal version of the slider, with no obvious way to change its orientation. In this blog, we'll learn how to rotate the slider control to a vertical orientation. So let's get started!
Start Xcode, choose "Create a new Xcode project," and select the Single View Application template. Click Next, name the project VerticalSlider, and choose options as shown:
Click Next, choose a location to save the project, and click Create.
Open ViewController.xib, and place a slider control on the view. Adjust the Minimum, Maximum, and Current values to 0, 360, and 0 as shown below. Also drag a UILabel control to the view, stretch it out and center it, and set the text to 44 points. Change the text in the label to "0", and center the text in the label.
Now open ViewController.h and make changes as shown here:
_USER_ ViewController : UIViewController
_USER_ (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UISlider *slider;
_USER_ (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel *display;
- (IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(UISlider *)sender;
We've added outlet properties for both the slider and the label. Normally, we would not add an outlet for the slider, but in this application we want to change some properties of the slider object (make it vertical): we need an outlet to do that.
We've also added a method to detect a change in the value of the slider control. Reopen ViewController.xib, and wire up these properties and methods as shown here:
Make sure that the Value Changed event is selected in the slider.
Now open ViewController.m and make these changes to the file:
_USER_ ViewController ()
float r = d * (M_PI / 180);
- (IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(UISlider *)sender
self.display.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", (int)sender.value];
CGAffineTransform labelRotation = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
labelRotation = CGAffineTransformRotate(labelRotation, [self degrees2radians:sender.value]);
self.display.transform = labelRotation;
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
CGAffineTransform sliderRotation = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
sliderRotation = CGAffineTransformRotate(sliderRotation, -(M_PI / 2));
self.slider.transform = sliderRotation;
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
return (interfaceOrientation!= UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
After synthesizing the properties, we define a helper method, degrees2radians:, that converts a floating point number of degrees to radian measure. As humans, we tend to think of angles in degrees, but radian measure is used exclusively in most (if not all) graphics libraries. The conversion is simple: 360 degrees == 2π radians, so 1 radian == 2π / 360 degrees. Factoring out the 2 gives us π / 180. We can therefore convert degrees to radians by multiplying the number of degrees with π / 180.
Look next at viewDidLoad: (we'll come back to sliderValueChanged: in a moment). After calling through to super, we apply an affine transform to the slider's underlying view. This is possible because a UISlider (like all controls) is a descendent of UIView: UISlider ← UIControl ← UIView. As we already know, views can be transformed in a number of ways: they can be moved, scaled, and rotated.
First, we get a transform matrix by setting a local variable to the identity matrix. We then alter this matrix by applying a rotation transform (CGAffineTransformRotate) to it through -(π / 2) radians (-90 degrees). This value is then assigned to the transform property of the slider, which rotates the slider by 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction. Higher values on the slider will therefore be "up."
The default center of rotation for a UIView object is the center of the view, calculated as the width of the view / 2 and the height of the view / 2. This transform therefore performs rotation about the center of the control. (If we want to rotate about another point, we must set the rotation point on the view's layer.)
In sliderValueChanged:, we set the text of the label to the value of the slider as an NSString, formatted with the slider's value cast to the integer type. We then apply a rotational transform to the label, converting the slider's value (degrees) into radian measure.
Run the application, and note that both the text and angle of the label change as the slider thumb is moved up and down:
(Of course, the slider itself is oriented vertically, which is the whole point of the blog!)
There is nothing that says the orientation of any control can't be at an arbitrary angle, for example, we could have oriented the slider at 45 degrees:
But such orientations are confusing to the user: changing in two directions at once (both horizontally and vertically) implies a change in two independent variables. Unless there is a very good reason to do this, keep the slider in either the default horizontal orientation, or the

Urinating Swimmers Blamed for Dead Fish
Sign Up for Free eNewsletter ››
By Myles Collier, Christian Post Contributor
May 15, 2012|3:10 pm
German officials have banned locals from entering a lake in northern Germany while they determine if reports of swimmers urinating in the lake have caused the lakes fish to die.
Eichbaum Lake is currently being studied by researchers who believe that a large amount of human urine is responsible for an algae bloom that killed off an estimated 500 fish.
"Swimmers who urinate in the lake are introducing a lot of phosphate" that can lead to algae blooms, a spokesman for the Hamburger Angling Association told Bild newspaper.
"We're calculating half a liter of urine per swimmer per day," he said.
Swimmers are currently banned from the lake due to the high levels of algae, but the city's Urban Development and Environment Authority (BSU) is trying to re-open the lake to swimmers by the time the summer season starts.
In order to identify exactly what is causing the fish to die off, the BSU is requesting the help of a local university to test the urinating hypothesis.

Local media reports have stated that it was not just the "urinators" that were responsible, but the combination of natural causes and a frozen lake.
In the winter time the lake freezes over and is used by many for ice skating. The ice skating may actually disrupt the fish while they are hibernating, leading to their deaths.
"The ice-skaters make a noise that wakes the fish out of hibernation," BSU spokeswoman Kerstin Graupner told the Local. "Then they can't breathe and freeze. That's a very common phenomenon."
She added that their bodies are only now being found.
Urine, however, is being considered a real threat to the health of the lakes ecosystem. The blog i09 explained that phosphates found in human urine work in a similar fashion as fertilizer which can lead to explosive algae growth.
When levels of algae increase the plants absorb all of the oxygen in the water, which then leads to the fish suffocating.

We report on the simulation and characterisation of compound phase-shifted fiber Bragg structures for use as novel in-fiber magneto-optical point sensors. Through simulation we show that the Faraday rotation spectra of phase-shifted gratings can be tailored by tuning the ratio of substructure lengths. A design process for tailoring the magneto-optical spectrum is illustrated, and it is shown that a general optimum structure exists for producing a region of total reflection incorporating magneto-optical Faraday rotation that is enhanced both in strength and spectral width. A practical optical fiber system that exploits the proposed distributed feedback (DFB) structures to enable novel all-fiber sensors for the dual measurement of magnetic field strength and temperature is described in detail, and the sensor response is simulated. The study is supported by laboratory fabrication of the proposed fiber DFB structures which demonstrates the principle of enhancement in terms of tailored group delay spectra and highlights practical issues for sensor packaging.

aha is a noun meaning "rage" in Quenya.
PQ *akhâ from Root *AKH.
In the First Age, aha was pronounced acha.
Aha is also the name of the eleventh letter of the Tengwar alphabet. In Westron it was called Shé and it had the value of sh in Mannish modes.
The original name of Aha was Charma and in Quenya it had the value "ch". Over time the "ch" in Quenya softened to "h" at the beginning of words and the letter, now called Acha, was only used in the middle of words where ch still retained. Still later the "ch" sound disappeared altogether and the letter name as well became Aha.
In Sindarin, Aha still refers to the "ch" sound. In Westron the letter is called Shé and has the value of "sh".

The grand Livadia Palace was created as a summer palace for Tsar Nikolas II. It was designed in the Italian Renaissance style by architect N. Krasnov (1864 - 1939).
Livadia was built on the site of the old palace and took seventeen months to build (from April 1910 - September 1911). Modern technologies were used to build the palace. No expenses were spared and besides Inkerman stone, the architect used all kinds of expensive material to create this beautiful White Palace. Its main entrance was designed in the form of a protruded portico and decorated with Carrera marble. The other portico was built in Arabian style and both are in their original form.
The Livadia Palace is of course known for a significant and historic event of the Second World War which took place here - the Yalta Conference.
This gallery holds pictures of the ground floor rooms where the Yalta Conference was held, as well as the first floor rooms with portraits of Tsar Nikolas II and his family, the Palace grounds and the Romanov family chapel.

La communication dans l'œuvre romanesque de Jacques Savoie
MetadataShow full item record
This paper explores the nature of communication in Jacques Savoie's novels. Many of the characters experience difficulties in making themselves understood by others, especially by their loved ones. Some of these challenges are psychological while others are related to the relationship between the characters. This study examines the both the factors that obstruct communication as well as those that foster it. Of particular interest are the related issues of language and its interpretation. While the state of mutual understanding is often attained through dialogue, the much more elusive state of communion is reached through art, specifically through music and poetry. Several of Savoie's novels are testament to the power of art to communicate not only the nature of the world but its beauty.

Czech Lion 2021
World bullion coins are often dedicated to the national symbols, therefore, the "Czech Lion", which is the first mintage of its kind intended for the Czech market, is not an exception. The weight of the gold coin of the Czech Mint is a quarter of a troy ounce.
The legend of Bruncvík
, a mythical prince who traveled to Africa, where he helped the animal king to fight the dragon, belongs to the most famous stories of how an exotic lion became a symbol of the Czech land. Old chroniclers offer a more plausible explanation. According to them, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa rewarded Prince Vladislaus II. with a royal crown and a new heraldic animal, which replaced the previous eagle in 1158. The lion represented the knight's virtues, strength and courage, which were demonstrated by Vladislaus during the conquest of Milan in the imperial service. And how did the heraldic beast come to its second tail? Heroism played a key role again. King Ottokar I of Bohemia helped Emperor Otto IV. in the fight against the Saxons in 1204, and the Czech lion received a second tail for it, which distinguished it from the beasts of other nations and provided it with a unique prestige. However, medieval writers liked to color their stories, therefore, they are not a reliable source of information. Therefore, the first verifiable Czech lion was a symbol of the Přemyslid dynasty and appears on the equestrian seal of Vladislaus Henry from 1203. Only Ottokar II, the Iron and Golden King, placed the lion on the coat of arms.
All variants of the bullion coin
were reworked in 2021, but the main idea remained. The reverse sides are dominated by the Czech lion in an untraditionally realistic processing with the St. Wenceslas Crown on its head. The obverse sides then bear an eagle on a shield, which is a synthesis of St. Wenceslas, Moravian and Silesian predators. The author of the relief is traditionally the medal maker Asamat Baltaev, DiS. Since the Czech Mint's coins are licensed by a foreign issuer, the island of Niue, their obverse sides bear its necessary attributes - the name and portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, the year of issue 2021 and the nominal value of 10 DOLLARS (NZD).
Invest in a smart, stylish way and
without VAT! In our offer you will also find other variants of the bullion coin "Czech Lion" made of gold and silver. This will allow you to easily regulate how much money you invest in precious metals.
The Czech Mint
has extensive experience with the production of bullion coins. We have been minting "Czech Lion" gold and silver coins since 2017 and they have become popular among investors not only in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, but also in Hungary, Germany, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Canada and the United States. The world's largest online distributor of precious metals has also requested them for its offer. One of the reasons why the Czech Mint's investment (bullion) coins have so quickly joined the ranks of world-famous counterparts (such as the Austrian Wiener Philharmoniker, the Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Krugerrand, the American Eagle, the Chinese Panda or the Australian Kangaroo) is their low emission costs. While investment coins of foreign mints are minted in millions of pieces, the emission limit of coins minted in the Czech Republic is counted in hundreds or thousands. This fact increases the potential for appreciation of investment and adds a collector's dimension. Thanks to the artistic processing, the coin will also serve perfectly as an original and valuable gift - for graduation, wedding, the birth of a child or just for fun…

What is the solid surface wash basin?
The wash basin is one of the indispensable sanitary wares in our living bathroom, because the wash basin is often used in our lives.It also known by other names including sinker, washbowl, hand basin, and wash basin—is a bowl-shaped plumbing fixture used for washing handsdishwashing, and other purposes. There are many material for wash basin,So choose a wash basin that fits the style and good material of the bathroom are very important. lets introduce KKR solid surface material wash basin for you.
Solid surface wash basin may be growing in popularity as people choose them over higher priced sink options. There are six reasons a homeowner may choose a solid surface sink.
Scratch Resistant
While solid surface wash basins can get scratched, the scratches can be removed if they are buffed with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad. Most minor cigarette burns can also be removed with gentle sanding.
Seamless Appearance
KKR wash basin/sinks can have a smooth feeling and may also have a seamless appearance. This smooth texture and the invisible seams can protect small particles like dirt crumbs and bacteria from collecting. The seamless surface can also provide a water-tight seal and can eliminate the need for caulk.
Unlike standard recessed sinks that can increase the likelihood of bacterial growth in the rimmed edges, solid surface sinks may not have these. Their nonporous surface may also have antimicrobial properties that can prevent the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. This can be especially beneficial when these sinks are used in food preparation areas like kitchens.
Stain Resistant
Accidental spills can happen and when they do, the results can be permanent. The material in a solid surface sink can resist the permanency of these stains. Most marks or stains left from lipstick, marking pens, juice, dyes or makeup can be removed with a non-abrasive scrubbing pad.
Solid surface basins can come in a variety of colors and patterns. Some may have patterns that look like granite and others may have whimsical colors and patterns to match a more eclectic decor. These color patterns can be visible throughout the entire depth of the material, rather than just on the surface, and the material can be made to fit a variety of shapes.
Less Maintenance
In most instances, KKR solid surface basin can be cleaned with soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth.Its very easy to clean.
 In addition, I would like to add that if it is practical and convenient, I think that in terms of material, you should choose the wash basin of solid surface stone. Because the acrylic solid surface stone wash basin is easy to maintain and can be polished repeatedly when Be scratched.

When you spin an asymmetrically weighted, 2D disk-shaped top, the heavy part actually rises to the top. Why is this?

In the second video it shows that this is because of friction but trying this on a frictionless surface won't do much: The disk will go up and down and still the heavy part will be on the top.

I think the solution has more to do with the tennis racket effect (see: _URL_
Let me clarify the disk with hole in it has two stable axes of rotation and one unstable one. The unstable one is through the hole and the stable one is across (below in green) and normal to the disk.
Axes Def
I have confirmed that without friction (and from the videos in the link above) when the disk is spun on the unstable axis, it will perdiodically flip. This is what caused it to flip when the disk was falling without friction.
The additional nuiance here is the once it is on the "upsidedown" oriention and friction is present then the unstable axis becomes stable.
If the hole spans from the center to the edge of the disk, then the center of gravity is at $$ \vec{c} = (0,-\frac{R}{6},0)$$ where $R$ is the outside radius of the disk. The principal moments of inertia about the center of mass are $$ \begin{aligned} I_{XX} & = m \left( \frac{\ell^2}{12} + \frac{29 R^2}{144} \right) \approx 0.2 m R^2 \\ I_{YY} & = m \left( \frac{\ell^2}{12} + \frac{5 R^2}{16} \right) \approx 0.31 m R^2 \\ I_{ZZ} & = m \left( \frac{37 R^2}{72} \right) \approx 0.51 m R^2 \end{aligned} $$
where $\ell$ is the thickness of the disk. Since $I_{YY}-I_{XX} = \frac{8}{37} I_{ZZ}$ this means that the y direction is the medium inertia value, x the minimum and z the maximum. Hence the instability about the y axis according to the Tennis Racket Effect.
I am working to qualify the above statement and I am going to update this post with my findings.

may you please explain why the axis through the hole is unstable, I would say it should be the one on the x-axis because it is not symmetrical. – Mhmd Dec 31 '13 at 12:43
_USER_ Any rigid body has three principal moments of inertia of different values. Rotation about the smallest and largest direction is stable, whilst rotation about the medium value is unstable. This is the tennis racket effect. – ja72 Dec 31 '13 at 16:17
I have added a little more about the mass moments of inertia on the post. – ja72 Dec 31 '13 at 16:58
The tennis racket effect/theorem can be accurately understood by the Poinsot-Binet Energy Ellipsoid. More reference is in Goldstein – Torsten Hĕrculĕ Cärlemän Dec 31 '13 at 17:24
I) Here we will give a qualitative rather than quantitative analysis. Consider first the axially symmetric 3D tippe top, which means that there will be two principal axis with maximal moment of inertia. (If we wish, we can for simplicity model the top as a spherically symmetric ball, with a heavy point mass off the geometric center $O$.) Empirically, we observe to a first approximation that:
 1. The angular vector $\vec{\omega}$ is mostly vertical and completes a small precession for each revolution of the top. (Let's assume that $\vec{\omega}$ is upwards rather than downwards.)
 2. The rotation of the top is around a point $Q$ somewhere between the geometric center $O$ and the center of mass $C$.
 3. The point $P$ of contact completes a small circular orbit for each revolution of the top.
 4. The top is mostly rolling without sliding. In other words, to a first approximation, it is static friction rather than kinetic friction, and hence the mechanical energy is conserved.
The angular momentum vector $\vec{L}$ will mostly point upwards but tilted a bit to the same (opposite) side as $C$ iff $O$ is above (below) $C$. In other words, the angular momentum vector $\vec{L}$ completes a small precession for each revolution of the top. We will assume that this precession of $\vec{L}$ (and the corresponding net torque needed for this precession) remains very small during the entire inversion process.
Now the torques of gravity and the normal force work in unison to increase the precession of $\vec{L}$. The cancellation of this torque can only come from the friction force acting in the same direction (horizontally speaking) as where the center of mass $C$ is.$^1$
Naturally, due to an imperfect rolling motion, the friction force will then tend to slide the point of contact in the direction of the friction force, thereby raising the center of mass $C$. (Del Campo showed that sliding friction must play an essential role in the inversion process, cf. Ref. 1. Of course sliding friction is also responsible for that the top eventually comes to rest and looses its mechanical energy.)
II) The asymmetric 2D discs$^2$ works similarly, although now the rotation will mainly be around the unstable principal axis with intermediate moment of inertia, leading to the tennis racket/Dzhanibekov effect, as correctly pointed out by ja72 in his answer, see also e.g. this Phys.SE post and links therein. In situations without friction, the tennis racket/Dzhanibekov effect explains the last unresolved part of the solution video.
 1. Richard J. Cohen, The tippe top revisited, _URL_ (hat tip: Leonida)
$^1$ Note that the friction torque argument in this Basic Saucer Physics 101 video seems to lead to the opposite effect where the center of mass $C$ gets lowered (rather than raised).
$^2$ The geometric details of the asymmetric 2D discs is to a large extent irrelevant for the effect.

Correction to the answer (v1): Del Campo's argument only guarantee that friction is involved, not that it is necessarily sliding friction. – Qmechanic Apr 28 at 8:21

You can use RemoveNodes to remove one or more nodes that should no longer participate in the cluster.
Before removing a node, you must remove all drives the node contains using the RemoveDrives method. You cannot remove a node until the RemoveDrives process has completed and all data has been migrated away from the node. After you remove a node, it registers itself as a pending node. You can add the node again or shut it down (shutting the node down removes it from the pending node list).
Cluster master node removal
If you use RemoveNodes to remove the cluster master node, the method might time out before returning a response. If the method call fails to remove the node, make the method call again. Note that if you are removing the cluster master node along with other nodes, you should use a separate call to remove the cluster master node by itself.
This method has the following input parameter:
Name Description Type Default value Required
nodes List of NodeIDs for the nodes to be removed. integer array None Yes
Return value
This method has no return value.
Request example
Requests for this method are similar to the following example:
 "method": "RemoveNodes",
 "params": {
 "nodes" : [3,4,5]
 "id" : 1
Response example
This method returns a response similar to the following example:
 "id" : 1
 "result" : {},

Background: Epidemiological studies have reported an association between asthma and migraine, mainly in adults. Objective: To examine the association between specialist-diagnosed asthma and migraine among adolescents. Methods: The electronic database of a recruitment center was retrospectively searched for all 17-year-old draftees during the years _PHONE_. Diagnoses of asthma and migraine were made by certified specialists. The prevalence of migraine was compared among draftees with and without asthma. Covariate data on socio-demographics and associated medical conditions were recorded. Results: A total of 113 671 adolescents were available for analysis. Asthma was diagnosed among 4.0% and migraine among 1.9%. Migraine was significantly more prevalent among adolescents with asthma [174 of the 4581 subjects (3.8%)] compared to those without asthma [1946 of the 109 090 (1.8%)] [OR = 2.17 (95% CI 1.86-2.55; P < 0.001)]. Rates of migraine among subjects with and without allergic rhinitis were 6.3% and 1.7%, respectively [OR = 4.04 (95% CI 3.58-4.56; P < 0.001)]. On multivariate analysis, there was a significant association between migraine and both asthma [OR = 1.42 (95% CI 1.19-1.68)] and allergic rhinitis [OR = 3.18 (95% CI 2.80-3.63)]. Other factors significantly associated with migraine were female gender, urban area of residence, recent immigration to Israel, having three or fewer siblings, and abnormal body mass index. Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware that asthma and allergic rhinitis are potential risk factors for migraine in adolescents. A combined finding of these conditions and recurrent headache is highly suggestive of migraine and warrants a different diagnosis and treatment approach from sinusitis.
- allergic rhinitis
- risk factor

Under the Dreamcatcher
Acrylic painting. Reminiscent of my medical elective in Moose Factory at Weeneebayko Hospital.
In late April, at the time of the Moose River ice "break-up," we wore our rubber boots to protect our scrubs as we traveled the muddy roads to get to Weenebayko Hospital, Moose Factory. 'We' are the medical students who travel by airplane to this remote and rural reserve in Northern Ontario. Like many First Nation Reserves, Moose Factory has a strong Indigenous Culture. This acrylic painting is a reflection of the two types of health care provided to the community. The Dreamcatcher in the sky as a symbol of Indigenous spirituality and the hospital in the background as a symbol of Western medicine. The scene is inspired by an Icaro, a traditional indigenous song that is whistled during a plant ceremony. As Canada's northern communities experience barriers to health distribution, the promise of valuing local indigenous healing methods could not only save lives but also harmonize these two valuable medicinal practices.


How does music change shopping habits?
The constant background of pop music is something most shops and malls have in common.
But some of Britain's shopping centres may be about to become a lot quieter.
Hammerson, which runs a number of shopping malls across Britain, is thinking of phasing out music because of the effect it has on shoppers.
To find out the impact that sound might have, it has been carrying out some experiments.
The BBC's media correspondent, David Sillito, went to the Bullring shopping centre in Birmingham to find out more.

Definition of LMAO
 1. It is an acronym that comes from the English phrase Laughing My Ass Off and its meaning in Spanish is "Me cago de la risa". This expression is used when indicating that something is very funny. For example: I saw a movie and the whole time I was LMAO.
 2. By extension, it is used as a synonym that something is funny or causes laughter regardless of its intensity.
The acronym LMAO comes from the English phrase laughing my ass off, which literally means "breaking my ass." From that perspective, other possible translations would be "I'm shit laughing" or "I'm dying of laughter". This term began to be used on the internet to mean something that is very funny.
This abbreviation is part of internet jargon and is clearly rude. However, the expansion of its use has led to it being used as a synonym for something that is funny without the need to refer to its literal meaning.
 1. A more vulgar derivation of LMAO is the acronym LMFAO which means "laughing until my fucking ass falls off". In this case, it is a direct use of foul vocabulary.
 2. LMFAO was an American electro pop duo that ran from 2006 to 2012. Some of the group's achievements were, for example, making their two albums among the top three dance albums in America.

Lets define edge-cycle in a graph $G$ as a path where the first and the last node are adjacent. (in contrast with the definition of cycle where first and last node are the same).
An edge-tree $T$ is a tree with the additional property that doesn't have an edge-cycle.
In a graph we can compute the number of spanning trees by using the Matrix-Tree theorem.
Is there any similar theorem for the computation of the number of edge-trees of a graph?


Here at Land To House you can find Hydraulic Ram Pumps for sale as well as a host of information of installing a pump. You can also find Land To House camping gear here. Please browse around and check out the projects that I have worked on over the years.
Hydraulic Ram Pumps For Sale
5 Steps to Buying a Ram Pump
(Already know the size you need? Click Here)
1. Determine your Water Flow Rate.
The ram pump needs flowing water to operate. The amount of water that you have available in the creek determines the size ram pump that you can use.
Here are the flow rate specs for each size ram pump available on Land To House
1/2″ Ram Pump 2gpm(7.6Lpm)
3/4″ Ram Pump 4gpm(15Lpm)
1″ Ram Pump 6gpm(22.7Lpm)
1-1/4″ Ram Pump 8gpm(30.3Lpm)
The water that each pump size needs is consistent for operation regardless of delivery flow.
How to measure flow rate? Use a 5 gallon bucket to catch the water. Time how long it takes in seconds. Divide 300 by seconds and you will have the Gallons per Minute.
Flow rate test
2. Determine your Head Pressure (water drop from source to pump)
The Ram Pump needs falling water to utilize the water hammer effect (ram). This is called Head Pressure. The pump works on a 1:7 ratio input head pressure to lift. For example if you have 10 feet of head pressure the pump will lift 70 feet vertical.
There are a few ways that you can determine the head pressure.
a. Take a garden hose and lay it in the creek. Let water run into the upper end. Lift the lower end up until the water stops flowing. Measure the distance from the surface of the water to the hose end. This is the head pressure available to the pump.
b. Place a garden hose in the creek and use a gauge that reads psi (pounds per square inch). Convert the psi to feet by using: psi/.433=feet of head.
c. Use a site such as Google Earth to find the elevation of the upper and lower parts of the creek and subtract the lower number from the higher number to find the head pressure.
head pressure
3. Determine the Lift height from the pump to where you need water
The main limiting factor of the ram pump is the lift height of the water. The horizontal distance that water is pumped is not an issue.
There are a few ways to determine the lift height.
a. The easy way is to use a site like Google Earth to get a general idea of the lift height. Take the elevation of the highest point you need water and the elevation of the pump location. Subtract the lower elevation from the higher elevation and you will have the lift height.
b. Use a clinometer. This tool finds angles of the incline and will let you use trig to find the height of lift.
c. Fill a garden hose or pipe with water and use a psi gauge to find the height. psi/.433=feet of head.
Elevation finder
4. Determine how much water you need in a day.
The amount of water that you need in a day is based on your own application. That being said here is what each ram pump size can supply in a day:
(Max output based on ideal setup)
1/2″ pump : 360 Gallons per day. (1211 liter per day)
3/4″ pump : 720 Gallons per day. (2725 Liter per day)
1″ pump : 1080 Gallons per day. (4088 Liter per day)
1-1/4″ pump : 1440 Gallons per day. (5451 Liter per day)
Keep in mind that these numbers are based on ideal input head pressure and lift height. If you have less head pressure or you are lifting higher your flow will be less.
5. Select the ram pump size below that fits your needs. If you still have questions please check out the Frequently Asked Questions.
To learn more about selecting the right pump, watch this video:
What else do you need to get the ram pump running?
-You will need a Drive Pipe to get water to the pump. This can be PVC or Poly Pipe. Be sure to match the pump size and the Drive pipe.
-You need a Delivery Pipe to take water up hill from the pump. This can be any size you like. Garden Hose, PVC Pipe, and Poly Pipe are all good options.
-Depending on the pipes you select you will need fittings to connect to the pump.
 - For PVC you will need adaptors from thread to socket. Then you will need couplings to connect sections of pipe.
 - For Poly Pipe you will need barb fittings that go from thread to barb. Then you will need barb to barb connectors to join sections of pipe. Hose clamps are often needed to keep the poly on the barb.

As you may have noticed when starting up the new Software Provisioning Manager SP20, a Web-Browser Window opens instead of the well known STD GUI.
The new Browser based User Interface (or SL Common UI as it is also called) is the default GUI for Software Provisioning Manager as of SP20.
The following questions may arise when facing the new Browser based you:
- How do I get the parameter list view with the new UI?
- What is the difference between the "old" SDT GUI and the new Web UI?
- How does the new Help functionality on field level work?
- How does the Logfile View and Task View in Web Browser Window work
- How can I follow an installation with Web Browser from a different machine?
- How can I start Software Provisioning Manager SP20 with the "old" SDT GUI?
I produced the following small video that demonstrates some nice functionality of the new Browser based UI and gives answers to the above questions:

MacArtney's MBES Hydrographic System for Island of Corsica
MacArtney France has delivered a portable multi-beam echosounder hydrographic system, designed for small vessels, to the French government organisation, Collectivité de Corse, in Corsica.
The Collectivité de Corse, a government organisation, represents the interests of the community of Corsica – a Mediterranean island off the south coast of France.
With 1000 km of coastline, the island attracts many tourists and cruise ships creating the need for an MBES hydrographic system.
The purpose of the MBES hydrographic system is to ensure visiting vessels can securely navigate the harbours of the island, monitor the seabed to control the quality of dredging, identify obstructions on the sea floor and verify underwater installations.
MacArtney France worked with Kongsberg, Valeport and SBG Systems on this project to fulfill the project specific needs and supply an adaptable MBES hydrographic system that meets the standards set down by the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO).
This new bathymetric system from MacArtney France will reduce survey time, increase accuracy, expand survey area reach and ensure a comprehensive hydrographic survey system.

Documentation for Confluence 5.4.
Skip to end of metadata
Go to start of metadata
This page explains how you can export individual Confluence pages, blog posts, entire spaces or selections of pages into a single PDF file.
Exporting single pages
You can export a Confluence page to PDF. This option exports a single page and is available to all users who have permission to view the page.
 - Go to a page in the space and choose Tools > Export to PDF. Follow the prompts to export the page.
Note that the export of a single page to PDF applies any PDF stylesheet customisations, but does not apply any PDF layout customisations. To make your PDF layout customisations apply to a single page exported to PDF, use the'multiple page' method described below to export that single page only. See Customising Exports to PDF.
Exporting a blog post
You can export a Confluence blog post to PDF. This option exports a single blog post and is available to all users who have permission to view the page.
 - Go to a blog post and choose Tools > Export to PDF. Follow the prompts to export the page.
Blog posts can only be exported individually. Blogs cannot be exported at the space level.
Exporting multiple pages or the entire space
Using Confluence's space export functionality, you can convert multiple pages or an entire space to PDF.
To use the space export functionality, you need the 'Export Space' permission. See the guide to space permissions.
To export a space or selected pages to PDF:
 1. Go to the space and choose Space tools > Content Tools on the sidebar.
 2. Choose Export. This option will only be visible if you have the 'Export Space' permission.
 3. Select PDF then choose Next
 4. Decide whether you need to customise the export:
 - Select Normal Export to produce a PDF file containing all the pages that you have permission to view.
 - Select Custom Export if you want to export a subset of pages.
 5. Select the pages you want to export.
 - You have the option to Select All or Deselect All pages.
 - When you select a page, all its child pages will also be selected. Similarly, when you deselect a page all its child pages will also be deselected.
 6. Choose Export.
 7. When the export process has finished, download and save the PDF file as prompted.
If your space uses the Documentation theme:
 1. Choose Browse > Space Operations
 2. Choose PDF Export from the left menu.
 3. Follow the steps above to export the Space.
Screenshot: Selecting pages to export
Customising the appearance of PDF exports
You can add a title page, a table of contents and customised headers and footers to the PDF output. For more advanced customisations, you can apply Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) modifications. These customisations are specific to each space. You need the 'Space Administrator' permission to be able to apply these customisations. For more information, see Customising Exports to PDF.
 - PDF exports will not handle columns created via the page layout option in the editor. If you have a twoor three-column layout, the PDF export will contain the page content in one single column. The issue is tracked here: CONF-25240 - PDF export does not handle page layouts Resolved
 - Comments on the page are not exported to the PDF file. The screenshot above and Confluence both suggest otherwise, issue is tracked here: CONF-27811 - Description of PDF Export is incorrect Resolved
 - Only image attachments that have been inserted into a page are included when exporting to PDF.
 - To export a PDF containing international text, you need to install a Unicode font in Confluence.
 - Blog posts can be individually exported, but are not included when you export a space to PDF.
 - If you have 'Space Administrator' permissions, the link to customise the PDF Stylesheet is provided at the top of the page tree, as shown in the screenshot above.
 - Confluence's PDF export feature is designed to handle a wide variety of content. However, on rare occasions the PDF Export process may fail due to an unrecognised customisation. If that happens the PDF export screen will indicate the title of the page in which the problem occurred, to help you diagnose the cause of the failure.
 1. How do I get the comments on the page to show up in the PDF when I use the export single page icon?
 1. Hi Matt,
 Unfortunately, Confluence does not provide this feature currently. However, we are aware of such needs and there is an improvement request being tracked at the following link:
 The improvement request above suggest Confluence to have the ability to include comments in the page PDF export. If you are keen on this improvement, please cast a vote to increase its popularity and add yourself as a watcher for future updates.

 This would be really useful. Does anyone know if it's possible yet?
 1. Hi,
 You may want to give a try by using the Auto-Export plugin that is available in our Confluence Extension space:
 If the above is not an option, you may want to give a try to search for other plugins in our Confluence Extension space which might meet your requirement. Hope the information does help.

 3. If exporting to PDF, I run into problems if tables or pictures are involved. I created an issue for this on JIRA
 4. Hi,
 is it possible, to store the selection of exported pages for a later re-use?
 1. This would be very handy. Is it possible in 3.0?
 5. Anonymous
 Hi there, we found that when multiple users of the wiki exported an entire space at the same time, the wiki runs very slow...logging in to the wiki just hangs....once the export is finished, speed comes back to there any way to allow space export without running into this adverse performance issue?
 1. I have the same issue - needing visitors to be able to export multiple pages (a particular section of a space) as a pdf.
 The best way to deal with this would seem to be by automating PDF export (with certain supplied parameters) on a regular (e.g. nightly) basis. I read in some comment here (but can't find it now) that (ro-)bot-export of spaces is deliberately discouraged by Atlassian to guard against DDOS-type attacks, but would it be possible to create a local-only bot capable of running these exports according to supplied parameters (regularity, page(s) to include, pdf filename,...)?
 Bot-exported PDFs could be saved in a certain folder with a known naming structure, and wiki pages could include links to the appropriate pdf file (perhaps via macro), avoiding the whole automatically-generated performance hit issue.
 2. The space backup process consumes some extra resources, hence, it is understandable that Confluence may perform poorly if there's multiple concurrent space export.
 In the context of permission settings, you can assign/drop the "Space - Export" space permission if necessary.
 In regards to a single automated process, I think one can create a job plugins that runs the space export at an interval. You might be able to find better answers in Atlassian Answers.
 1. Thank you for the information - a job plugin (set up to use Cron) sounds exactly like what we need. Then it's just the case of creating the plugin to export specific pages within a space (or the whole space) and save it - all according to designated parameters. Do you know if the plugin architecture allows you to specify a subset of pages to be exported in the space (like is possible in the UI)?
 Another method would seem to be to use an external script using the RPC API - but right now you can only export an entire space as a PDF (but I've voted up a feature request for extra granularity here - see I found a python script that could be modified (currently exports a space as XML)...
 Anyway, I will search the public forums as you suggest... I just wanted to update this thread with these pointers. Thanks again.
 6. P
 We're using Confluence to create documentation and we use the PDf export mechanism to provide our customers with a PDF version of the documentation.
 Now, in the spaces we use for documentation, we have several pages that have viewing restrictions on them. This can be either pages that are not yet finished or just some internal pages with comments/directions etc.
 I know I can manually uncheck each single page that I do not want to have included before exporting, but I was wondering if it's not possible to run the export in such a way that it will only export what is visible to anonymous users?
 1. Sure - you just need to grant 'Export Space' permission to anonymous users, and then log out before starting the export.
 This will create the PDF including only those pages which are visible to anonymous users.
 If you don't want to enable exports for anonymous users, then you could create a new user, make sure that the permissions are set so that the user does not see your internal pages, and perform your PDF Exports using that restricted user.
 1. P
 Tnx, that'll do the trick. Should have come up with that myself

Fluid Thread Patterns
Thin threads of fluids show how conveyor belt speeds control fluid pattern behavior in both experiments and models. A thin thread of viscous fluid (translucent threads at left) is poured onto a moving belt, creating a dazzling array of intricate patterns. Simulations (gold threads at right) reproduce this rich and complex behavior, confirming the accuracy of a theoretical model developed to describe the phenomenon.

Boscardin, M. L. (2005). The administrative role in transforming secondary schools to support inclusive evidence-based practices. American Secondary Education, 33(3), 21-32.
The role of secondary administrators, including but not limited to principals, guidance directors, curriculum supervisors, department chairs, and special education directors, is important to the success of students with disabilities. Administrators equipped with the knowledge and skills to support the implementation of evidence-based practices of teachers in inclusive and accessible instructional environments are poised to be effective advocates of improved educational outcomes of all students. In this paper, we examine two ways in which administrators facilitate the development, adoption, use, and evaluation of evidence-based educational interventions within secondary schools. One considers refocusing the administrator role from one of manager to one of effective instructional leader. The other focuses on key leadership strategies for improving the instructional practices of teachers and the educational outcomes of students with disabilities.

History of the Hudson 8/9 Slide Rule - MIT Museum
Full interview with Frank Adorney about the conception, development and fabrication of the Hudson 8 and Hudson 9 slide rule. This rule, invented by James R. "Pop" Bland, a mathematics professor at the U.S. Naval Academy, was the prototype for the famous Keuffel & Esser Deci-Lon slide rule. Bland asked his former student Frank Adorney for help fabricating the initial mock-ups and working prototypes of his new rule.
This interview was conducted by Deborah Douglas, curator of science and technology at the MIT Museum on January 25, 2012 at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. It provides extensive background about the rules which are now part of the MIT Museum's collection.

There's a distinction to be made between two notions: foliations and distributions.
A distribution is the data, at each point m of M, of a subspace of Tm(M). These subspaces are all of the same dimension (say r), and depend smoothly on the point m, which means that they are generated by r smooth vector fields.
A foliation is a partition of the manifold into (not necessarily closed) submanifolds, such that, locally, this partition looks like the standard decomposition of ℝn into translates of ℝd. Ok, there's a caveat in my description since a same leaf could come infinitely many often in the neighborhood of a given point m. Anyways... I'm assuming that you know what a foliation is.
Foliations of M form a subset of distributions on M.
The Frobenius integrability criterion (mentioned by Tom in him remark) states that a distribution D comes from a foliation iff for any vector fields v and w tangent to D, their Lie bracket is again tangent to D.
It turns out that that criterion is always satisfied for one-dimensional distributions, and so one-dimensional distributions are indeed in bijection with one-dimensional foliations. But that's no longer true for r ≥ 2.
The operation of taking orthogonal complement is a very good operation for distributions: it's always well defined, and the orthogonal complement of the orthogonal complement is the distribution you started with.
But the orthogonal complement of a foliation is typically only a distribution.
The standard example that illustrates that situation is the vector field sin(z)d/dx + cos(z)d/dy on ℝ3. It defines a perfectly good foliation, but its orthogonal fails to satisfy the Frobenius integrability criterion, and therefore fails to be a foliation (in this particular case, it's a contact structure, another beautiful mathematical notion...).
Ah! You also wanted the foliation to be defined by the orbits of a group acting by isometries... That can be arranged: take the action of S1 on S3 given by the Hopf fibration. The orthogonal distribution is the standard contact structure on S3.
You also said that you wanted you Riemanninan manifold to be flat... In that case, you can take ℝ4=ℂ2 with its S1-action by complex multiplication. That example contains the above S3 example as an
invariant submanifold, and therefore reproduces all its features.

1. Start out with removing any nail polish on your nails as well as cutting/filing them to the desired shape.
2. The next thing you need to do is find a triangular makeup sponge. You can find these at the Dollar Tree, or can even cut a rectangular sponge!
3. Pick out the two or three (or four!) colors you would like to ombre onto your nails. These can be varying shade of the same color or different colors altogether!
4. To get the ombre effect onto your nails, you can do one of two things:
- Apply the nail polish onto a surface like plastic wrap and mix the edges to create the desired effect. Dab the sponge onto the polish and then onto your nails!

text: Finite-difference time-domain method has gained increasing interest for room acoustic prediction use. A well-known limitation of the method is a frequencyand direction-dependent dispersion error. In this study, the audibility of dispersion error in the presence of a single surface reflection is measured. The threshold is measured for three different distance conditions with a fixed reflection arrival azimuth angle of 54.7 °. The error is placed either in the direct path, or in the reflection path. Additionally a qualitative follow-up experiment to evaluate how the measured thresholds reflect the audibility of error in short room responses is carried out. The results indicate that the threshold varies depending whether the error is in the direct path or in the reflection path. For transient signals the threshold is higher when the error is located in the direct path, whereas for speech signal, the threshold is higher when it is located in the reflection path. Evidence is found that the error is detectable in rendered room responses at the measured threshold levels.

Commercial Bank is the most important functionary of the financial system play a dynamic role in the economic development of a nation as well as Bangladesh. Economic history shows that financial development always starts with a banking system. In a country's development, the banking systems' contribution is highest in the initial stage of development compared with the other financial systems. An attempt has been made in this paper to evaluate the comparative performance of these two sectors of banks operating in Bangladesh. The specific objectives of the study are to evaluate the growth trend of general business activities of selected banks and identify the comparative commercial profitability, employee efficiency and overall performance of studying banks during 1995 to 2004. On the basis of the analysis considering the above measures included in this paper, it has been observed that the profitability performance as well as trend of general business operation and employee efficiency of the selected private banks was far better than the selected public banks for the study period.

Patented: May 5, 1809
Mary Dixon Kies was the first woman to apply for and receive a U.S.
patent in her own name. Her patent, issued May 5, 1809, was for a
process for weaving straw with silk that was adopted by the New England
Kiesís invention was praised by President James Madison's wife Dolly for
helping to improve New England's economic situation, which had been hurt
by an embargo on goods imported from Europe. New England's hat industry
was one of the few industries that continued to prosper during the War
Kies's patent, which was destroyed in the Patent Office fire of 1836,
was one of only 20 issued to a woman before 1840

How did minorities experience the 1950s?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Of course, different racial minorities experienced the 1950s in ways that were at least somewhat different from one another. We can generally say, however, that minorities experienced the 1950s as a more negative time than whites did.
The most prominent minority group in the US during the 1950s was African Americans. During this decade, they were still experiencing much discrimination. This was the decade of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the harshly negative reaction among whites to the integration of the high school in Little Rock. Things went beyond mere discrimination as well. This was also the decade in which Emmett Till was killed for talking to a white woman the wrong way.
Hispanics and Native Americans also experienced the 1950s negatively in some ways. This was the decade in which the federal government was willing to try to deport large numbers of illegal immigrants and felt that it was appropriate to name the program "Operation Wetback." Native Americans suffered in this decade as the government tried to pursue a policy called "termination" that was meant to disband Indian tribes and force Indians to assimilate into mainstream society.
Thus, while not all minorities experienced the '50s in the same ways, minorities generally had a poorer experience in this decade than whites did.

Netflix Sencha Touch 2 app with JayData
Author: Viktor Lazar June 7th, 2012
,,,,
JayData seamlessly integrates into Sencha Touch 2 through the JayData Sencha module. You only have to modify the proxy on your Sencha data store to use the JayData proxy and define a queryable as the data source. Using remoteFilter, remoteSort and pageSize your query will be processed by JayData. Currently the module only supports read-only functions. To add, update or delete entities you can still use JayData directly in your code.
To follow this tutorial it's required to have basic knowledge of Sencha Touch 2 to understand the Sencha Touch 2 parts of the tutorial.
You can see the final app here.
Initializing the JayData context
Initializing the JayData context is easy as always. This Netflix app uses the public OData service of Netflix. After running the JaySvcUtil tool to get the context definition of the Netflix service you only have to reference the context script. JaySvcUtil already includes an instance of the context in the generated script so you don't have to do it manually. Here you can find a tutorial about using the JaySvcUtil tool.
Store definition using JayData proxy
JayData integrates itself into Sencha Touch 2 through a data proxy. You only have to define the JayData proxy on your store. Here is the store definition part of our example:
As you can see the proxy uses a queryable as the data source instead of an URL like other Sencha server stores. This way you can use any queryable of any context you defined and instantiated in your application. You are not restricted to the OData provider. You can use the Facebook, YQL or any other providers of JayData too.
Predefined query filtering and sorting is supported like in the example. By default we sort the data as defined in the store and you can have as many query operators in the store definition as you want.
From now on you can use the filtering, sorting and paging functions of the store as is.
The function parameter of the filterBy function of the Sencha store or any other filter or sort method of the store where you can pass a function as a parameter you literally pass the function to the equivalent JayData method (like.filter(),.orderBy(), etc.).
If a use case is not supported by Sencha or the JayData module you can still use JayData directly. Like in the details view of a movie. When a movie item is tapped we load the details in the event listener function.
In the above source code part we directly query the database using JayData. For the data query we don't use anything from the Sencha library. But in the callback function of the toArray method we build the content using the templating engine of Sencha.
Native mobile app
The Netflix example app is a hybrid application. You can launch it in the browser or you can use PhoneGap and convert it to a native mobile app. Because of the browser limitation of cross-domain AJAX calls you have to include a few additional lines if you want to deploy the app on the web.
With this function we hijack the AJAX request to transform it to a JSONP request. This way the cross-domain issue no longer bothers you. But be careful because JSONP is only valid in a read-only scenario.

1. Remove any labels from the can and make sure it is completely clean.
2. Mark off inches on the coffee can. Put the can outside, away from the house in a calm, protected area but not under a tree.
3. Read the depth of snowfall directly off the collecting can. About ten inches of snow is equal to one inch of rain so if you wish to know the amount of precipitation, divide the depth of the snow by ten.
4. As a check on this measurement, allow the snow to melt at room temperature. This will keep evaporation at a minimum.

The institute of positive education
About the Institute of Positive Education
The Institute of Positive Education (IPE) is a ground-breaking initiative by Geelong Grammar School, the first school to embed the principles of Positive Psychology into all aspects of school life.
The IPE's primary role is to deliver transformational educational programmes to promote wellbeing throughout the world. The IPE aims to teach students valuable life skills on which they can increase their learning capacity and build a successful and happy life.
In 2018, the IPE delivered 124 training courses comprising 208 training days, which were attended by over 6000 participants. The IPE's training team has a combined total of more than 150 years of classroom and school leadership experience and over 50 years of practice implementing Positive Education. The team consists of experienced teachers (primary and secondary) and qualified psychologists and researchers.
The programmes offered by the IPE are designed to have a meaningful impact on the future wellbeing of both educators and young people so that they can flourish and contribute to their world in more positive ways. The IPE's training courses allow participants to explore the key concepts and skills of Positive Education in a practical way and all content is supported by empirical research and are evidence-based.
About Positive Education
The fundamental goal of Positive Education is to promote flourishing within the school community. Around 160,000 young people aged 16 to 24 live with depression each year. While there has been some decline in suicide rates in Australia in the past ten years, suicide continues to be one of the leading causes of death in Australians aged between 15 and 24. With this epidemic of mental health problems, Geelong Grammar School made a commitment to its young people to take positive action to promote wellbeing in schools. Research is now beginning to show that Positive Education programmes decrease stress and anxiety as well as increase self-efficacy, self-esteem and optimism. Evidence-based Positive Education programmes are playing a crucial role in teaching the skills of wellbeing and promoting positive health for students. Positive Education provides strategies to get the best out of life's situations, from exercising resilience when facing adversity to using strengths when striving for future goals. A flourishing student is engaged in their learning, contributes positively to their community and nurtures many healthy relationships. Schools have a prime opportunity to impact the wellbeing of young people by implementing a Positive Education programme.
The Institute of Positive Education presents The Science of Achievement Conference taking place at the National Education Summit on Friday 30 August 2019.


Focus Group:
Strengthening and Diversifying the Clergy
In order to have a stronger and sustainable Clergy, it must be diverse. Our goal is to include all people, men and women with diverse backgrounds, as equal partners in the Church, as they already are in the eyes of God. Here are some of the questions this Focus Group is exploring:
 - How can we include women in highly visible diocesan-wide leadership roles? How can we increase women's voices and their votes in matters of church governance?
 - How can we address the diminishing number of clergy and seek a way forward by encouraging women and men called to serve in the Church?
 - We aim to promote discussions between laity and clergy about women serving in the diaconate and married men and women serving as priests.
 - How do we work with the diocese to better understand the attitudes of the laity about a variety of church issues, and how the laity can help support the priests in every parish, through surveys and active listening sessions?

SHRM Assurance of Learning
Assurance of Learning Assessment for Graduating HR Students:
The Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) Assurance of Learning Assessment for graduating HR students is the new universal benchmark for students who are completing an HR degree and who have little to no work experience in HR. It benefits students by showing employers the student has acquired the minimum knowledge required to be a successful HR professional, and it gives recent graduates an important advantage over other entry-level candidates by showing the student has achieved the Certificate of Learning upon passing an exit exam. The assessment helps universities meet their accrediting body's assurance of learning requirements because it helps show the HR degree program teaches what it states it will teach. And, it helps employers know that the student has taken an additional step to ensure their degree, complemented by the Certificate of Learning achievement, adequately prepares them for their career in HR. As part of SHRM's broader academic initiative, the Assessment represents an important step along an HR professional's career development path. It complements both formal classroom knowledge acquired through a degree program and experiential learning gained through internships. To learn more, visit the Assurance of Learning page on the SHRM website.


Burnham Overy Staithe sea defences
Burnham Overy is a civil parish on the north coast of Norfolk, England. In modern times a distinction is often made between the two settlements of Burnham Overy Town, the original village adjacent to the parish church and now reduced to a handful of houses, and Burnham Overy Staithe, a rather larger hamlet about 1 mile (2 km) away and next to the creek-side harbour.
Burnham Overy lies between the larger village of Burnham Market, less than 1 mile (2 km) to the west, and Holkham, some 3 miles (5 km) to the east. Burnham Thorpe, the birthplace of Horatio Nelson, lies 1 mile (2 km) to the south-east. According to various letters and documents, Nelson learned to row and sail a dinghy at Burnham Overy Staithe, at the age of 10, two years before joining the Navy. The larger town of King's Lynn is 20 miles (30 km) to the south-west, whilst the city of Norwich is 30 miles (50 km) to the south-east.
The civil parish has an area of 8.92 km2 and in the 2001 census had a population of 311 in 167 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.

Six Interesting Things about Automated Underwriting for Commercial Real Estate
Understanding risk and potential returns in buying, selling, or developing a property is a crucial component to being a successful real estate investor. In commercial real estate (CRE), underwriting is used to make decisions about how risky investing in a property or development could be by compiling data from a large number of sources.
However, the process of underwriting is not easy and can be tedious work. This process can be dramatically sped up with automated underwriting.
What is automated underwriting?
Automated underwriting is using existing data files from Argus or Excel to determine the property values, risk, and estimate cash flows. Automated underwriting allows investors to see projected cash flow data in a matter of minutes and is crucial in evaluating the financial risk and potential returns of a property.
1. Understanding the process of automated underwriting for an existing property.
The automated underwriting process is relatively straightforward.
Once the property information is imported, the Argus modeling program will produce a cash flow breakdown over time. Brokers and investors can then utilize the breakdown in their Excel model or another proprietary modeling program.
The beauty of the automation process is not in its modeling but efficiency in utilizing the existing information.
2. Automated underwriting will help investors conduct more business faster
The process of traditional commercial real estate underwriting takes time, often several hours to analyze a single property and its surrounding market. In the competitive world of commercial real estate investing, opportunities come with speed. The first investor to analyze the deal has an advantage.
Automated underwriting allows investors to analyze deals in a few minutes instead of a few hours.
3. Automated underwriting removes errors
Every deal goes through an appraisal. Appraisers are human and as such, can make mistakes. Commercial real estate investors are looking for every advantage to make better deals and get higher returns. Those errors can cost money, lead to poor decisions or missed opportunities.
With automated underwriting, calculations are set. The error factor is removed, and deals can be analyzed with a clear picture of the possible risks and returns.
4. Disagreements are no longer an issue.
Asset management teams don't always agree with acquisitions teams about rent projections. Property owners don't always agree with commercial real estate brokers about comparable market rents. So who's right and who's wrong? With automated underwriting, these disagreements are not a factor in the deal-making process.
Because the model data has been continually updated and rent and inflation trends are tracked in the system, automated underwriting can quickly point to the data to settle the argument.
5. Automated underwriting can lead to deal "pre-approval."
Imagine a world where the banks are ready to lend based solely on the creditworthiness of the investor (much like residential real estate) because the property underwriting has been done in advance. A commercial real estate investor could exponentially increase their deal volume and returns.
6. Financial institutions also benefit from automated underwriting
The volume of deals lenders can process increases exponentially as well. Lenders are in the business of making money by turning money. The more loans they can produce, the more profitable the banking system becomes. Automated underwriting helps to create a beautiful cycle of efficiency and profit from the start of a real estate deal to the end.
With extensive knowledge of financial modeling and real estate analysis, an automated underwriting company, can give you the data you need, and point out any areas of concern in the numbers. This saves time and allows you to focus on evaluating the investment. Visit our Services Hub to see how you can get started today.


text: Many insects are able to precisely control their jumping movements. Once in the air, the properties of the actual landing site, however, are almost impossible to predict. Falling insects thus have to cope with the situation at impact. In particular, for insects jumping to escape predators, a controlled landing movement appears to be a major evolutionary advantage. A quick recovery into an upright and stable body posture minimizes the time to prepare for the next escape jump. In this study, we used high-speed recordings to investigate the falling and in particular the impact behavior of Schistocerca gregaria locusts, a common model organism for studies on the biomechanics of jumping. Detailed impact analyses of free-falling locusts show that most insects typically crashed onto the substrate. Although free-falling locusts tended to spread their legs, they mostly fell onto the head and thorax first. The presence of wings did not significantly reduce impact speed; however, it did affect the orientation of the body at impact and significantly reduced the time to recover. Our results also show that alive warm locusts fell significantly faster than inactive or dead locusts. This indicates a possible tradeoff between active control versus reduced speed. Interestingly, alive insects also tended to perform a characteristic bending movement of the body at impact. This biomechanical adaptation might reduce the rebound and shorten the time to recover. The adhesive pads also play an important role in reducing the time to recover by allowing the insect to anchor itself to the substrate.
