Versioning Bots
In this tutorial you will learn how to manage deployments of bots between environments in the ServisBOT Platform.
ServisBOT provides all clients with a staging and production organization.
It is recommended to lock down access to the production environment and only allow access to the deployment and debug teams. Changes can be done and tested in staging, and then deployed using our tooling.
General Versioning process
 - Start by developing and building your bot in your staging organization.
 - At regular intervals, download a version of your bot and check it into a code versioning tool like Github.
 - When ready to go live, use our sb-cli command line tool to import/update the move over production.
 - Validate functionality on production.
Development can begin following one of our getting started tutorials.
Secrets are not exported or migrated between orgs, but since they are referenced by alias, all that is needed is to make sure that secrets exist in both orgs with the same alias.
Inside the BaaS that uses secrets, there will be a Credentials field.
It is assumed that your staging and product environments will require entirely different secrets, all that needs to match is the alias.
Downloading the Bot
 1. Create a folder for your bot project
 2. Initiate some sort of version control for that folder
 3. Log into your staging organization using the ServisBOT CLI and download a definition.
sb-cli bot download BOTNAME
This will include all workers, BaaS, intents, slots, and the default endpoint related to the bot.
Uploading Your BOT
 1. Log into your production organization using the CLI.
 2. Re-upload the bot Definitions
sb-cli bot upload.
the. just denotes current directory.
Test your bot!
You should be all set to test your bot in the platform now.

Mark a Member as a Duplicate
While Membership automatically identifies possible duplicate members based on matching the first name, surname and date of birth of two records, it is possible for some duplicates to'slip through the cracks'. For example, this could occur if any of the three 'duplicate identification fields' (first name, surname, DOB) are not exactly the same, e.g. an incorrect date of birth, or variation or error in the spelling of a name. In such cases, the member can be manually flagged as a duplicate, which can then be resolved by the association.
Both associations and clubs are able to mark a member as a possible duplicate. Firstly, ensure that both records do belong to the same person, then complete the following:
2. Locate the new member (not the original) record. You may find the search box or 'Advanced Search' options useful for quickly locating a member record.
3. Click on the View Record button next to the name of the member you want to mark as a duplicate.
4. The member's record will open. Click on Mark Member as Duplicate on the right hand side.
5. A message will appear, reminding you to only mark the new record (not the original) as a duplicate. Click on Mark as Duplicate.
6. A message will appear confirming that the member has been marked as a duplicate. The member has now been added to the list of possible duplicates to be resolved by the association. If you are logged into Membership at the association level, you can click on Resolve Duplicates to go directly to the Duplicate Resolution screen.

What is the origin of scut in scut work?
According to Merriam-Webster,
scut work: routine and often menial labor
Probably from medical argot, scut meaning 'junior intern'
First known use: circa 1962
Usage example:
... women who generally feel that they are second-class citizens in the medical profession -- unappreciated and directed by (mostly male) doctors to perform largely scut work.
This ngram shows that scut work was not used before 1960 when it took hold as medical jargon. It supports the idea that the term was not already in general use and subsequently popularized in hospitals, rather that it originated there.
Scut work
This returns us to the medical coinage. Could it be related to meaning (2) in the OED?
1. the short tail of a hare, rabbit, or deer.
2. (inf. chiefly Irish) a person perceived as foolish, contemptible, or objectionable.
There is another theory that it is derived from Oxford University servants called scouts, but I consider this unlikely given the US origin of scut work.
share|improve this question
Der... I don't think it's likely to derive from anything other than OED:2, which seems about as transparent as any word usage can be. Possibly that definition itself came from association of rabbits with simpletons (rabbits are dumb), or with lowly peasants (who would eat more rabbit than other meat). – FumbleFingers Jul 28 '11 at 14:23

In the Wiktionary scutwork entry, one of the references, Medical meanings: a glossary of word origins, suggests either scuttle, or OE scitan (excrement) as possible origins of the scut in scutwork. I think scitan is plausible; note from the etymology of shit:
Noun use for "obnoxious person" is since at least 1508
Wiktionary also suggests for scut as "contemptible person" that the etymology may be from the obsolete sense of scout, which Etymonline explains:
"to reject with scorn," c.1600, of Scandinavian origin (cf. O.N. skuta, skute "taunt"), probably from a source related to shout.
I think you're probably right that meaning (2) of scut is more closely related to scutwork, but note that calling someone contemptible doesn't have to be unrelated to meaning (1) as in the quotations in Wiktionary, or, for example, this 1907 story:
"Don't understand me?" roared the farmer. "What have you done to my darter, you scut, sitting there preening of yersel, like a silly peacock in the sun?"
The angry man approached the bed swiftly, and, seizing Aubrey's pyjama-clad shoulder in a massive fist, thrust his hairy face within an inch of his victim's nose.
"What have you been doin' to my lass?" he roared again. "Now d'yew onderstand me?"
"W-what has she been telling you?" Aubrey was horribly frightened.
"Summat that made me sware you shouldn't leave this house till you'm man and wife all raight and praper accordin' to law."
share|improve this answer
I'm quite impressed with wiktionary's entry actually. I like the quotations. Here are two more, from Ulysses: "God speed you, scut!" and "Mean bloody scut." – z7sg Ѫ Jul 28 '11 at 21:15
This is not a definitive answer, because all the sources I checked say the origin is not known. But I suspect it probably comes from scuttle, because doing the dishes is the archetypal form of "scut" work, and as Etymonline shows us:
scuttle (n.) "bucket," O.E. scutel "dish, platter," from L. scutella "serving platter," dim. of scutra "flat tray, dish," perhaps related to scutum "shield" (see hide (n.1)). A common Gmc. borrowing from Latin (cf. O.N. skutill, M.Du. schotel, O.H.G. scuzzila, Ger. Schüssel). Meaning "basket for sifting grain" is attested from mid-14c.; sense of "bucket for holding coal" first recorded 1849.
share|improve this answer
I think the ngram I've posted in the question goes against this theory because scut work only really exists from 1960 onwards. – z7sg Ѫ Jul 28 '11 at 20:32
+1 I strongly suspect it came from coal scuttle. – Brock Adams Mar 17 '13 at 10:07
"Scut work" was in use at least as early as 1950. From The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, Volume 22:
... menial tasks commonly known as the "scut work."
Given the general manners of the time, it seems unlikely that this would be used too pejoratively.
James Joyce's, Finnegans Wake (1939) also refers to a character as a "scutfrank" -- which has been interpreted to mean someone who does menial tasks.

"Some common unfinished task".

Is this a definition from a dictionary? Why else did you use inverted commas? As it is, you haven't provided an answer for its origins. – Mari-Lou A Aug 23 '13 at 22:27
_USER_-LouA It looks as if the quote marks were added by the editor. The author also suggested the (alleged) origin by capitalising the initial letters of each word. While the author has provided no substantiation for this alleged origin, I think your last 2 sentences should be aimed at the editor! – TrevorD Aug 23 '13 at 23:57

THE ORIGIN OF THE BOTIJO
A botijo is a clay jug that is used for cooling water.
The function of the botijo is very simple: it is based on the
principles of evaporative cooling. The botijo is typically made of
a very porous material. Therefore, as the water within filters through the
pours of the clay, it evaporates once it passes through the miniscule holes
(capillaries) and comes into contact with the supposed dry
Mediterranean-type climate. In order to change into a gaseous state, the
water needs energy which can be taken from the outside environment as
well as from the liquid that remains within, while simultaneously lowering
its temperature. This phenomenon is know as the botijo effect.
Its origin can be traced back to prehistoric times, presumably the Neolithic
era. The first versions of botijos were derived from ostrich eggs
for use by the adults, quail eggs for the children and bird eggs for the
babies. In order to distinguish one from the other, each egg would be
painted differently with the blood of animals they hunted.
The history of the botijo is revisited within the ancient
Mesopotamian cultures where the first remains of the containers similar in
shape to the modern botijo were found. The bronze era in the
Mediterranean and Hellenistic Greece saw the botijo at its greatest
when they were also used as decorative art pieces. Its decadence began at
the second half of the 20th century with the appearance of domestic
refrigerators. In Spain, where it's been used traditionally, the botijo
still remains as an ornamental element.

Pour Cost: What It Means and Why It's So Important to Bar Profits
What does the term pour cost mean? In this article we'll define the meaning of pour cost and discuss why it's one of the keys to profitability for every bar.
One of the most shocking conversations I have with bar managers is their lack of understanding the meaning of the term pour cost. Worse yet, they've been selected to manage someone else's hard-earned money. This edition of the Design Buzz defines pour cost, how it's calculated, and why this and accurate inventory methods are the keys to bar profitability
Pour cost is a term developed by the hospitality industry and is defined as the amount of alcohol to make a drink to its selling price, and is expressed as a percentage. In reality, this is what's known as ideal pour cost percentage. Many bar owners and managers who are cognizant of the term pour cost, but don't understand its true meaning, often fall into the trap of using percentages they've heard or read. It's not uncommon to hear people say that their pour cost is 30%, without having a clue how it's really calculated. Often times, people simply think that that is the industry standard and they want to be like everyone else! The reality is there is another term that is even more important – actual pour cost, which I'll discuss below. The reason all of this is so important is because it enables you to monitor your true profitability. For now, first things first: let's understand the basics of pour cost.
How to Use Pour Cost to Calculate the Selling Price of Drinks
The way to calculate your ideal pour cost percentage for pricing drinks is a two-step process:
1. Take the number of shots you get out of a bottle and divide that quantity into the cost of the bottle to develop your unit cost.
2. Divide the unit cost by your desired selling price; this is your ideal pour cost.
3. Next you need to decide if you are tracking your ideal pour cost with or without sales tax. You should calculate it without sales tax as you can't keep that money.
A more direct and useful method is to divide the unit cost by the desired percentage; this will tell you your selling price for any given drink. Here's a useful example:
If you get 27 shots out of a bottle (a pour size of 1.25 oz) and the bottle cost is $7.50, then your unit cost per shot is 27.7 cents. If you want a "well" pour cost of 8%, then divide 27.7 by 8%, the desired drink price is $3.46. To develop the actual selling price (with sales tax), simply multiply this result by your state's sales tax. If your state sales tax is 10%, then multiply your desired drink price ($3.46) by 1.10, you arrive at a selling price to the customer of $3.81, which you may wish to round up to $4.00.
As you know, in the bar business we have different value groups and different pricing for each, so it's impossible to make consistent profit margins across the board. Simply stated, the art of upselling is where the greatest profit margins lie in the bar business; I discuss this is greater detail in a previous post in Design Buzz, which you can reference below. According to my good friend and industry expert, Chuck Deibel, among his hundreds of bar clients the ideal pour cost percentages for the various alcohol groups are as follows:
· Well liquor is around 10% or less.
· Call liquor will fetch in the 12% to 18% range.
· Top shelf will be in the high teens to mid 20's and Premium will be in the low-to-high 30's.
Chuck further states, "Depending on product mix and pricing, I see bottle beer anywhere from the mid 20's to mid 30's. Draft beer ranges from the high teens to the high 20's."

Productive Bar Design: What Are The Most Profitable Drinks?
What Bar Owners Need to Know About Liquor Inventory Control
So far we've discussed the concept of ideal pour cost, and I also alluded to the term known as actual pour cost. Are you aware that over 85% of bar owners are losing 20% of their profits? Folks, this is NOT an infomercial! I know this sounds crazy, but this is a very well documented fact. Chuck Deibel, a CPA having performed thousands of inventory audits over 20 years, stated this in a 2014 State of Ohio Sales Tax Audit, which you can download below. The reason inventory loss runs rampant and undetected is due primarily to two factors:
· Extreme high profit margins cloud the owner's perception.
· The complexity of product mix and product pricing.
To illustrate the latter point, just think about the following:
· The various levels of pricing (well, call, top-shelf, premium, etc.).
· Also consider that you might be selling the same drink at different prices, such as Happy Hour and Daily Specials.
· You serve batch drinks in the form of margaritas, long island ice tea, etc.
Given all of the above, now consider attempting to calculate how much money you should make at the end of one shift. Oh, and by the way, how about those free drinks your bartenders are giving away (to increase their tips) and the over-pouring and other wasteful habits! Can you now tell me how much you should have made last night alone? You see, as a bar owner you are living in a parallel universe:
Not only are many bar professionals unaware of their ideal pour cost, most don't know their actual pour cost – the one that takes all of the above factors into account. There is a difference between ideal pour cost and actual pour cost, and the difference between the two results in the amount of your lost sales and inventory.
According to Deibel, "Many bar operators don't calculate their ideal cost for pricing and most, if not all, don't recalculate it on an ongoing basis. Not doing so can cost you thousands of dollars."

Why BevInco Inventory Control Can Help Bar Owners Improve Profitability
So just why is knowing your actual pour cost so important? For one, the odds are that you're amongPhoto of Typical BevInco Audit Report the more than 85% of all bar owners who is losing 20% of their inventory. Worse yet, the stability of your business could become impaled if you are ever audited by your state liquor authority. Although the state allows for shrinkage (according to the above-mentioned state tax audit), it's far less than the amount you are probably losing. The state expect its tax based on the amount of shrinkage they allow, and unless you're up-to-date of your actual pour cost (and tightening your inventory controls), an audit fine of $98,000 is not uncommon, as stated in a previous blog post, referenced below.
There is a routine method of calculating your actual pour cost, and that is a unique service offered by noted industry expert BevInco. BevInco, which operates an international network of factory-trained local dealers, innovated a systematic methodology of helping bar owners calculate their actual pour cost and shrinkage. The mystery of knowing everything about your inventory, shrinkage – and ultimately your actual pour cost – can, in fact, be unraveled. Your local BevInco dealer performs an on-premise inventory service by systematically entering all of your drink and batch recipes into their proprietary software and also weighing all open bottles, batches and kegs. The result computed by the software is the actual pour cost. There is no other way to compute actual pour cost. With BevInco, you get meaningful pour cost information; a sample report (shown above) can be downloaded below. BevInco clients frequently reduce their shrinkage from 20% to 2-3% within the first four months!
As you can see, unless you know exactly what you've sold there is no way of knowing your actual pour cost, and certainly no way of knowing the habits of your bar staff. It's critical to the success of your bar to get in control of your pour cost and inventory.

Clothed male, naked female
CMNF, or Clothed Male(s), Naked (or Nude) Female(s) is a term for a paraphilia involving one or more nude women and one or more clothed men. It is generally used as a label for pictorial erotica or pornography, or a sexual fantasy depicting such a scenario; however, CMNF gatherings of men and women interested in this type of erotic pursuit do occur as well. CMNF is also a type of sexual objectification of women by men.
The general category of "CMNF" is fairly broad, encompassing several different types of scenario. The most common subdivisions of the genre involve either an activity under the rubric of male domination, exhibitionism or entertainment; combination of all categories is somewhat rare, although several web sites cater to the subgenres separately.
Also striptease is a form of CMNF since the vast majority of visitors to strip clubs is male, whereas the strippers are female.
The stereotype of the damsel in distress was also portrayed in the 19th century as an CMNF scenario: the powerful knight in his armour comes to rescue the naked, helpless female.
One-sided nudity in art is a topic that has been popular for a long time; e.g. many 19th century paintings of slavery and odalisques depict nude women, fulfilling voyeuristic phantasies of mostly male audiences.
The topic of one-sided female nudity is featured in the book "Topping from Below" by Laura Reese. The journalist Nora Tibbs investigates the death of her sister Franny. She meets the boy-friend of Franny, "M.", a music professor, and becomes his new girl-friend. He forces her to be nude all the time when she is in his house. Her one-sided nudity is one of many tokens of her submission to him.

Flojet 115 VAC and 12 VDC Demand Pumps
Questions & Answers
- What Flojet Pumps are recommended for potable water?
- Only pumps with Santoprene / EPDM elastomers are recommended for potable water
- Can Flojet Pumps run continuously?
- The Flojet manual states Intermittent duty. Can be run continuously for short periods of time. The higher the duty cycle the shorter the expected life of the pump.
- What does short periods of time mean?
- Up 60 minutes with discharge pressure of up to 20 PSI. Up to 20 minutes when the discharge pressure is over 20 PSI. The off-time should be the same or more than the run time.
- What is meant by demand operation?
- Demand Operation is considered an "intermittent duty" application.
- What is an intermittent duty cycle?
- The maximum intermittent duty cycle is that which will cause the motor to reach its maximum thermal limits. Once the maximum thermal limit is reached, the motor must be allowed to settle to a lower temperature ideally being ambient before resuming operation. Running the pump at or near the maximum thermal limit for extended period of time will shorten the life of the pump and may result in immediate pump failure.
- What diaphragm and valve materials are recommended by Flojet for potable water?
- Only pumps with Santoprene / EPDM elastomers are recommended for potable water.
- Are Flojet pumps recommended for permanent residential domestic water applications?
- Units are NOT designed for permanent residential domestic water applications.
- Can I connect rigid pipe to the pump?
- FLOJET does not recommend the use of rigid pipe and fittings. Use flexible hose of the correct pressure rating that is compatible with the fluid to be pumped. Tubing should be at least 20 inches in length to avoid excess stress on the pump ports.
- Should I use a check valve on the pump suction line?
- The use of check valves in the plumbing system could interfere with the priming ability of the pump. If a check valve is installed in the plumbing it must have a cracking pressure of no more than 2 PSI
- Should I use a strainer on the pump inlet?
- Flojet recommends the use of a minimum 40-mesh strainer or filter in the pump inlet line will prevent foreign debris from entering the system. Failures due to foreign debris entering the pump will not be covered under the limited warranty.
- Can Flojet pumps be used (intermittent duty) for hydraulic oil and water-glycol?
- For petroleum based products such as hydraulic oil use Buna diaphragm and check valves, the same with Glycol use Buna diaphragm and check valves.

How does Elie lose his sense of self through his suffering and despair in Night?
Expert Answers
An illustration of the letter 'A' in a speech bubbles
I would suggest that one way the Eliezer loses his sense of self in the narrative is through the idea that survival becomes the driving force of his consciousness. The brutal conditions of life in the camps help to remove Eliezer from aspects the previously defined his sense of self. The movement from Sighet helps to dislodge him from his physical community. The breaking up of his family helps to remove his emotional sense of self. The violation of his faith loses his spiritual compass. In the end, the Nazis end up reducing Eliezer to a being where survival is the only driving force of his state of being in the world. At the end when Eliezer cannot recognize the face in the mirror staring back at him, it is symbolic as well as a physical displacement that has transpired.

As we know a many to many association are shown by two asterisks in both end of association. Now I have a association between two entities "Good" and "Invoice" so Good and Invoice have a many to many association but I want to show the "count of each good" in each invoice on class diagram.
How can I show it?

You can use an association class as depicted e.g. here:
Using a new class and two associations inbetween like user1598390 described is valid as well. It depends how you would like to see the relationship between your entities. UML-wise association classes are probably more concise. Regarding the implementation in a programming language both solutions might even look the same (implemented with an additional link object as most programming languages don't support attributed links or pointers).
share|improve this answer
Often times many to many associations indicate the need for a third entity.
You need InvoiceDetail entity.
Anyway "count of each good" should be a method in class Invoice.
public int getCountOfGood(Good good);
there can also be a method that returns a data structure with the count of each distinct Good in the Invoice
public Map getCountOfEachGood();
Good entity is oblivious of Invoice.

Store Cucumbers at Room Temperature So They'll Last Longer
If you want more time to enjoy all the cucumbers you bring back from the market, don't stuff them in the fridge. Cucumbers, according to UC Davis, via Root Simple, should be stored at room temperature.
The reason, Root Simple explains, is that when cucumbers are stored for over 3 days at temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 Celsius), they'll get cold injury: wateriness, pitting, and faster decay. (See how unattractive they look after being stored in the cold in the photo from UC Davis?)
The university also offers lots of other advice for fruit and vegetable storage. While we've covered what and how to store foods in the fridge or counter before, room temperature cucumbers are something we didn't notice before. (You're also supposed to keep tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants out too, but keep the cucumbers away from the ethylene-producing tomatoes!)

Near Side and Off Side.
Left side and right side. Near wheel means that to the coachmans left hand; and near horse (in a pair) means that to the left hand of the driver. In a four-in-hand the two horses on the left side of the coachman are the near wheeler and the near leader. Those on the right hand side of the coachman are off horses. This, which seems an anomaly, arose when the driver walked beside his team. The teamster always walks with his right arm nearest the horse, and therefore, in a pair of horses, the horse on the left side is nearer than the one on his right.
Thus, 2 is the near wheeler and 1 the near leader, 4 is the off wheeler and 3 the off leader.

Introduction: This research article presents the results of the application of 62 indicators of transparency and access to public information to two Ecuadorian television corporations. Methods: The study uses a purpose-created panel of indicators divided into five blocks, following the method developed by the Infoparticipa project, for the analysis of the websites of Ecuavisa and TC Televisión. The results of the evaluation of the level of transparency of these corporations is available in the Infometro section of the online platform _URL_. Results: The selected media companies are not very transparent: the lowest scores were obtained in the identification of senior executives and the management of collective resources, while the highest scores were obtained in the area of information for participation. Discussion and conclusions: These types of organisations do not comply with the indicators of access to public information and transparency, despite having a broad regulatory development. These corporations do not disclose basic data and the information they do publish is often unclear, insufficient and inaccessible.

CO2 drop checkers for your aquarium
If the plant aquarium is fertilized with carbon in the form of carbon dioxide. A drop checker is used to permanently monitor the CO2 content of the aquarium water. This permanent test consists of a test fluid, which is located inside a container. This container is usually made of glass or acrylic glass and is installed inside the aquarium. The test fluid is in no direct contact with the aquarium water. An air-filled channel is located between the test fluid and the aquarium water. CO2 dissolved in the aquarium water diffuses through this layer of air and reacts with the testing fluid, which indicates through its colour an optimal (green), too low (blue) or too high (yellow) CO2 content in the water. In an aquascape or in aquariums with many aquatic plants, concentrations of 20 to 30 mg / l CO2 are aimed at. If the test reagent turns green, this content is reached. Please note that the liquid in the drop checker always indicates the CO2 with a time lag of several hours. In order to combine the green hue with a certain CO2 concentration, the test liquids such as the Aqua Rebel CO2 Check 250 ml have a fixed carbonate hardness.
A measurement of the CO2 content in this way is much more faithful than measuring directly in the aquarium water or calculating with CO2 conversion tables. In both cases, the pH of the water plays a role in determination - and the pH can be influenced, for example, by acids dissolved in the water or by humic substances! That makes these evaluations quite inaccurate.
We offer a vast selection of drop checkers in our online shop. The required testing fluids can be purchased through our webshop as well. The checkers are made of either plastic or glass. Especially the glass checkers are very attractive and fit well into the overall look of an aquascape.
You have trouble filling your drop checker? No problem, we have a guide for you in our Aquascaping Wiki.

Origin of diversity in falling snow
- ISSN: _PHONE_
- DOI: 10.5194/acp-8-5669-2008
This paper presents a systematic way to examine the origin of variety in falling snow. First, we define shape diversity as the logarithm of the number of possible distinguishable crystal forms for a given resolution and set of conditions, and then we examine three sources of diversity. Two sources are the range of initial-crystal sizes and variations in the trajectory variables. For a given set of variables, diversity is estimated using a model of a crystal falling in an updraft. The third source is temperature-updraft heterogeneities along each trajectory. To examine this source, centimeter-scale data on cloud temperature and updraft speed are used to estimate the spatial frequency (m−1) of crystal feature changes. For air-temperature heterogeneity, this frequency decays as p−0.66, where p is a measure of the temperature-deviation size. For updraft-speed heterogeneity, the decay is p−0.50. By using these frequencies, the fallpath needed per feature change is found to range from ~0.8 m, for crystals near −15°C, to ~8 m near −19°C – lengths much less than total fallpath lengths. As a result, the third source dominates the diversity, with updraft heterogeneity contributing more than temperature heterogeneity. Plotted against the crystal's initial temperature (−11 to −19°C), the diversity curve is "mitten shaped", having a broad peak near −15.4°C and a sharp subpeak at −14.4°C, both peaks arising from peaks in growth-rate sensitivity. The diversity is much less than previous estimates, yet large enough to explain observations. For example, of all snow crystals ever formed, those that began near −15°C are predicted to all appear unique to 1−μm resolution, but those that began near −11°C are not.

Codes of Connection (CoCo) Consultancy
What are Codes of Connection (CoCo)?
A Code of Connection (CoCo) is used when a formally accredited information system wishes to connect to another "unknown" information system. There are a variety of reasons for wishing to connect information systems together, but they usually involve a requirement to exchange data and information.
This page explains how CoCo works, including services such as N3 and the Gambling Commission.
How does CoCo Work?
A code of connection works by the accredited system stipulating a baseline set of controls to be implemented, or commented on, by the connecting organisation.
These controls are usually selected from best practice (ISO 27002) or, more usually, various HMG Information Assurance requirements.
The controls can broadly be broken down into the following types:
 1. Technical, such as implementing an assured barrier between the two organisations or performing an IT Health Check.
 2. Procedural, such as ensuring that all security incidents are reported to the partner organisation.
 3. Physical, such as ensuring that the physical security of assets is adequate.
 4. People, such as ensuring that all staff involved have appropriate background and identity checks or appropriate education, training and awareness.
When the code of connection is completed, the accredited information system will assess the threat the connecting organisation poses. If it believes that the risks are acceptable, it will authorise the connection.
How stringent a code of connection is depends on the level of assurance required between the participant organisations.
What Specific Codes of Connection (CoCo) services are we likely to require?
 - Connecting to N3
 N3 is the integrated network for the NHS, a combination of broadband connections and network services which are intended to link all NHS sites in England and Wales. Our N3 Consultancy service will help you to comply with NHS security policies.
 - Gambling Commission
 Our experienced consultants can help you map a route to compliance with the technical requirements of the Gambling Commission.

A generalized theory of open quantum systems combined with mean-field theory is used to study a superconducting wire in contact with thermal baths at different temperatures. It is shown that, depending on the temperature of the colder bath, the temperature of the hotter bath can greatly exceed the equilibrium critical temperature, and still the wire remains in the superconducting state, meaning that the effective local temperature in the wire is maintained below the critical temperature. The effects of contact areas and disorder are studied. Finally, an experimental setup is suggested to test our predictions.

Helium mass spectrometer leak detectors are designed to measure the partial pressure of trace amounts of helium passing through small leaks and then display the measurement as a function of leak rate. To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, it is necessary to tune and calibrate the leak detector on a regular basis by introducing a precise flow of helium into the leak detector and comparing the output measurement with the actual flow.
This regulated flow, or leakage of tracer gas, is achieved through the use of a calibrated helium leak standard. Many of today's leak detectors have integrated or built-in calibrated leak standards. Older models of leak detectors, and current models of leak detectors that do not provide automatic calibration, may require an external calibrated leak standard to do the tune and calibration function.
Two common types of commercially available calibrated leak standards are glass permeation and capillary leaks. Glass permeation calibrated leak standards consist of a permeable glass membrane encapsulated in a sealed reservoir that is charged with helium. The helium in the reservoir diffuses through the glass membrane out of the leak and into the leak detector vacuum system.
An important factor to consider when using glass permeation style leaks is the temperature's affect on accuracy. Permeation style leaks have a leakage temperature coefficient of 3 or more percent per degree Celsius. As the operating temperature of the calibrated leak increases, its leakage rate also increases by its temperature coefficient. The temperature at which the leak standard was originally calibrated is typically marked on the side of the leak. This allows the user to compare the ambient temperature at the time the leak is used with the original calibration temperature and to compensate for the difference as required.
Glass permeation leaks are fragile and should be handled with care. If the glass membrane breaks from impact, the helium supply will immediately deplete from the reservoir and the leak will be unreparable.
Capillary-type leak standards are made up of a thin metal or glass capillary tube constructed into a pressurized metal envelope such that the gas from the envelope flows through the capillary tube out of the leak and into the vacuum system of the leak detector. One advantage of capillary type leaks over permeation leaks is that they are less sensitive to temperature changes. The leakage temperature coefficient of a capillary leak is approximately 0.2 percent per degree Celsius. Although capillary leaks are not as fragile as permeation leaks, they do have a capacity to become plugged by solids or vapor condensation.
The accuracy of calibrated leaks incorporating an integral gas supply depends on age. Gas-filled leaks will decrease in value over time as the source of helium leaks out. This applies to both permeation and capillary type leaks. The depletion rate of a calibrated leak depends on its specified leakage rate. A 10-7 or 10-8 standard cubic centimeters per second (sccs) range leak will lose approximately 2% to 3% of its initial leak rate value per year.
The depletion rate of a calibrated leak does not change when the leak is stored with its valve in the closed position. In fact, storing a gas-charged calibrated leak with its valve closed will result in helium buildup within the mechanism of the valve, causing the leak to become inaccurate. A gas-charged leak should always be stored with its valve in the open position.
Aged calibrated leaks can be recertified on a regular basis to keep up with internal or external quality standards. Recertifi-cation involves measuring the leak on a calibrated system and re-labeling it with the new leakage rate, calibration temperature and date of calibration. A typical re-calibration cycle is one year.
Regardless of whether the leak detector calibration is done automatically or manually, or whether it is done with an internal or external leak, the process is the same, in general. The first step in calibration involves tuning the leak detector so that the output signal is optimized for a constant in-flow of helium. This is generally performed by introducing a steady flow of helium into the leak detector vacuum system and then adjusting voltages within the analyzer cell and monitoring the output signal of the leak detector. The voltage values that result in the greatest signal output are set as the standard operating voltages until the calibration routine is re-initiated. Attempting to tune to a leak that is less than 1.0E-9 sccs may result in a "no signal" or "low signal" error message. This is an indication that the available helium flow is too low for the leak detector to do a successful tune adjustment.
After tuning is complete, the calibration routine is run. Calibration involves comparing the tuned output signal with the calibrated leak value and applying a multiplier or gain factor to make the leak detector output or display equal the calibrated leak value. It should be noted that adding additional gain to calibrate a leak detector may also amplify noise and background. Higher gain settings could potentially make the leak detector unstable in the higher sensitivity ranges.
The typical gain factor of a leak detector that is isolated from all external systems depends on the inherent sensitivity of the leak detector. This is a function of the design of the vacuum system and the analyzer cell components. A gain factor that is equal to or near 1.0 is the most appropriate because it indicates that the leak detector design provides enough inherent sensitivity to read a calibrated leak accurately without additional amplification of the tuned signal. A significant change in the typical gain factor of a leak detector may indicate a problem. Monitoring the gain factor on a regular basis is a good way to ensure that the leak detector is clean and working correctly.
It is possible for the gain value to vary as a result of a change in the test configuration. If the leak detector is connected to an external vacuum system during the calibration routine, the pumping action of the external system could divert helium from the calibrated leak away from the leak detector. This is referred to as a split-flow condition. In this situation, a greater gain value would be required to bring the measured value up to the fixed value of the calibrated leak. This is not an indication of a problem with the leak detector; it is the result of the application.
Calibration of modern leak detectors is relatively easy and fast. Many of today's leak detectors have an integrated calibrated leak standard and an automatic calibration feature. Calibrating a leak detector with an integrated leak often involves the push of a single button and a 3 to 5 minute wait period. It is important to warm up the leak detector for at least 30 minutes prior to performing a calibration routine.
The frequency of calibrating a leak detector can depend on the application or be mandated by quality control requirements. More frequent calibrations are recommended for applications that involve accurate and quantitative testing to a specific pass/fail value. Less frequent calibrations are required for qualitative or go/no go testing. A well-designed leak detector will hold its calibration within the tolerances of go/no go test requirements for more than a few weeks. In addition to scheduled calibrations, it is appropriate to perform a calibration after the leak detector has experienced an unexpected shock, such as a power outage, power surge or inadvertent venting of the test port while in high sensitivity mode.
- A regulated flow is achieved through the use of a calibrated helium leak standard.
- Many of today's leak detectors have built-in calibrated leak standards. Older models may require an external calibrated leak standard.
- Two common types of commercially available calibrated leak standards are glass permeation and capillary leaks.

The parameter 'pos' in ShapeStim statement stands for the position of the center of the stimulus. Is it possible to set the positition of the stimulus by the top left of it instead of its center? In Pygame, for example, shapes can be draw from top left through statement"pygame.draw.rect(window, color, (topleft_X, topleft_Y, width, height))".
The choice of drawing origin is an arbitrary one (eg bottom left is as natural as anything else), so selecting another is left up to the user, by applying simple geometry.
In this case, just add half the width of the object to your preferred x component of the position, and subtract half its height from the y component.

Definition of Shotgun sequencing
Shotgun sequencing: An approach used to decode a genome by shredding ("shotgunning") it into smaller fragments of DNA which can then be individually sequenced. The sequences of these fragments are then ordered, based on overlaps in the genetic code, and finally reassembled into the complete sequence.
The "whole genome shotgun" method is applied to the entire genome all at once, while the "hierarchical shotgun" method is applied to large, overlapping DNA fragments of known location in the genome.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

The bulk
Bulking is a process commonly used by an individual wishing to gain weight. Commonly used in bodybuilding (Off-Season) but will also be used by fitness enthusiast. Bulking attempts to build MUSCLE MASS
Simply it is an attempt to eat a healthy diet to gain weight, whilst minimising fat gains. The basic principle of bulking to to consume more calories than you expend. Typically a bulking diet will consist of around 6-8 meals per day, spread out every 2-3 hours. A cleverly structured diet will show the breakdown of carbs,protein and fats. Typical bulking calories usually range from aroun 3000 to 6000 and should be tailored to the needs of the individual and specific goals.
Many bodybuilders/individuals will bulk over the winter season and then cut (cutting diet) in the summer. Cutting to cut down on the fat gain by a bulking diet. In general (except n00b gains) it is exceptionally hard to gain weight and loose bodyfat at the same time (excluding the use of steroids+genetics) therefore you cannot bulk and cut at the same time! You can use variety such as cylical bulking e.g. Bulk for 4 weeks/Cut for 2 weeks repeat process..this is an attempt to minimise fat gains.
Foods/supplements commonly used in a bulking diet include: Protein powder,eggs,steak,wholegrain pasta,tuna,nuts

text: The objective of this paper is to introduce the constrained discrete-time statedependent Riccati equation (CD-SDRE) technique for decentralized multi-agent systems. First, a D-SDRE for tracking control is derived analytically. Then, the latter is utilized in formulating the distributed D-SDRE control law. The constraint problem of the D-SDRE/distribued D-SDRE is then addressed by recasting it into a model predictive control (MPC) problem. Solution of the latter is then carried out using particle swarm optimization (PSO), which facilitates estimation of the states and control inputs for the D-SDRE control law calculation. The use of decentralized CD-SDRE scheme in a networked system in the presence of constraints is then systematically demonstrated by applying this scheme to reconfiguration problems of spacecraft formation flying under constrained actuation. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy and reliability of the proposed CD-SDRE in the decentralized control of the spacecraft formation flying.


Teachers union sues state over lost day
The Washington Education Association sued the state yesterday over a lost day of work.
The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court, challenges the Legislature's decision in 2002 to cut a non-student learning-improvement day for teachers. The 76,000-member union figures that cost the average teacher about $250.
"That day had become part of the definition of basic education in the state of Washington," said Charles Hasse, the WEA's president.
The lawsuit argues that the decision violates both the Washington Constitution's mandate that the state provide for basic education and Initiative 732's requirement that teachers be given annual cost-of-living raises.
The union hasn't been shy about challenging lawmakers before, especially in recent years, as tight budgets have prompted the Legislature to rein in spending.
Last year, the state Supreme Court agreed with the WEA's contention that lawmakers had violated I-732 by not providing raises for all school employees, not just those whose base pay came from the state.
This year, lawmakers amended the initiative to render that ruling irrelevant and suspend the yearly raises, although some money was allocated to increase pay for the newest teachers. The WEA has threatened to sue over that move as well, arguing that who gets pay increases should be dictated by local contracts between teachers and school districts.

Steps to regenerate background text images under res-*dpi/images/
 1. Build the recovery_l10n app:
 cd bootable/recovery && mma -j32
 2. Install the app on the device (or emulator) with the intended dpi.
 - For example, we can use Nexus 5 to generate the text images under res-xxhdpi.
 - We can set up the maximum width of the final png image in res/layout/main.xml Currently, the image width is 1200px for xxxhdpi, 900px for xxhdpi and 480px for xhdpi/hdpi/mdpi.
 - When using the emulator, make sure the NDK version matches the current repository. Otherwise, the app may not work properly.
 adb install $PATH_TO_APP
 3. Run the app, select the string to translate and press the 'go' button.
 4. After the app goes through the strings for all locales, pull the output png file from the device.
 adb root && adb pull /data/data/
 5. Compress the output file put it under the corresponding directory.
 - "pngcrush -c 0..." converts "text-out.png" into a 1-channel image, which is accepted by Recovery. This also compresses the image file by ~60%.
 - zopflipng could further compress the png files by ~10%, more details in
 - If you're using other png compression tools, make sure the final text image works by running graphic tests under the recovery mode.
 pngcrush -c 0 text-out.png $OUTPUT_PNG

Sandal Castle is a ruin near the town of Wakefield in West Yorkshire and overlooks the River Calder. It is near to the site where the Battle of Wakefield is said to have taken place in 1460, which resulted in the death of Richard, Duke of York.
The Castle was first constructed by the Normans, and its first occupants were the de Warrens.
In 2003, Sandal Castle was given a wooden walkway, to allow people to walk to its summit without causing erosion. This was intended as a measure to stop people permanently damaging the ruins. However, there has been a strong outcry from those who feel that the walkway has corrupted the historical environment provided by the castle.
There is a visitor centre about 100 metres from the castle proper.

The names chiseled onto city tenement building entrances are often pretty puzzling.
The typical tenement is more than 100 years old. With the original builders long-gone, who can explain where some of these names come from, and why they were chosen?
Like Novelty Court, on Driggs Avenue in Williamsburg. Actually, a little research turned up an explanation: this used to be the site of the Novelty Theater, according to Cinema Treasures, which disappeared from city directories by the 1920s.
A. Segal's (Secal's?) Apartments are also in Williamsburg. But who was A. Segal, and why did he put his first initial and last name on his building?
Blennerhasset sounds like Manhasset, a town in Long Island. I've never seen the name anywhere else but on this tenement near Columbia University.
Who was Frances, and how would she feel about the terrible shape the building named for her is in, on Lexington Avenue in East Harlem?

Background: Students may become less adept at developing strong patientphysician relationships during medical school. We evaluated whether students choosing careers in surgery show a similar negative trend. Methods: Scores from 2 validated measurements of medical personality were compared using repeated-measures analysis of variance. The Patient Provider Orientation Scale (PPOS) assesses whether students are more patient-centered or paternalistic, and the Physician Reaction to Uncertainty Scale (PRUS) measures willingness to disclose uncertainty. Results: From 1998 to 2005, 236 students completed the PPOS and PRUS in the first and third year of medical school. Surgical students remained patient-centered in their first and third year of medical school (mean PPOS, 4.5 vs 4.54, respectively; P <.348). In addition, they became more willing to disclose uncertainty (mean PRUS improved from 25.5 to 23.8; P <.002). Conclusions: Students choosing careers in surgery maintain or improve upon personality traits that are important for developing strong patientphysician relationships. All rights reserved.

Question: Do Tomatoes Scream When You Cut Them?
Does a plant feel pain when you cut it?
Do tomatoes cry?
Drought-stressed tomato plants emitted about 35 ultrasonic squeals per hour, on average, while those with cut stems made about 25. Drought-stressed tobacco plants let out about 11 screams per hour, and cut crops made about 15 sounds in the same time.
Does grass scream when you cut it?
Scientists have discovered that grass blades scream when cut with a lawnmower. … While human ears can only hear sounds up to about 16,000 Hz, scientists have now measured vocalizations of 85,326 Hz emanating from grass blades cut by a power lawn mower.
Do cucumbers scream when you cut them?
Although not audible to the human ear, the secret voices of plants have revealed that cucumbers scream when they are sick, and flowers whine when their leaves are cut [source: Deutsche Welle]. There's also evidence that plants can hear themselves being eaten. … This network helps plants propagate, grow and survive.
Do trees have genders?
Lots of trees are hermaphroditic — that is, their flowers contain both male and female reproductive parts. Other species have male trees and female trees, which you can tell apart by looking at their flowers: The male reproductive parts are the pollen-laden stamen; the female parts their egg-holding pistils.
Do plants die if you yell at them?

Why does grass smell when it's cut?
What's the secret behind the sweet smell of cut grass? … Chemically speaking, that classic lawn smell is an airborne mix of carbon-based compounds called green leaf volatiles, or GLVs. Plants often release these molecules when damaged by insects, infections or mechanical forces — like a lawn mower.

Fractional Exec-Consultant-Freelance
The following as described by Wikipedia are the definitions of Fractional, Consultant and Freelance:
Fractional executives are professionals who have decided to offer their advice and skills to organizations on a for-hire basis. These executives have typically served a number of years in a business environment in roles such as chairman, owner, CxO, SVP, VP, or director. Their skills may be focused in one discipline or could be more broad-based, depending on the role(s) they have served.
 - Internal consultant: someone who operates within an organization but is available to be consulted on areas of their specialization by other departments or individuals (acting as clients) or
 - External consultant: someone who is employed externally to the client (either by a consulting firm or some other agency) whose expertise is provided on a temporary basis, usually for a fee. Consulting firms range in size from sole proprietorships consisting of a single consultant, small businesses consisting of a small number of consultants, to midto large consulting firms, which in some cases are multinational corporations. This type of consultant generally engages with multiple and changing clients, which are typically companies, non-profit organizations, or governments.
For those that have reached executive level during their careers, you will want to decide if you would prefer to take on projects where you act as an interim or temporary executive and or projects where you are being sourced as a consultant for your expertise. From a positioning perspective, positioning yourself as a consultant will not place you at a disadvantage if you brand yourself in a manner that clearly outlines your capabilities and credentials. Some have expressed that positioning themselves as consultants or fractional execs has impacted their ability to land future work and, as a result, have stayed away from taking on projects while in-between jobs. In this Gig economy, it's all about positioning. Therefore, do not miss the opportunity to land additional paid opportunities while anticipating your next semi-permanent or permanent role. Examples of fractional executive work could fall under functions such as:
Fractional CEO
Fractional CFO
Fractional CTO
Fractional COO
Fractional CMO
Fractional CxO
Fractional CIO
Fractional executives should be viewed as those that have risen to the top of their field and are offering their expertise on a retainer or project basis to solve a problem for the company. Positioning oneself as a Fractional executive could align with higher-paying opportunities should your credentials support your positioning.
Consultants have been brought in for multiple roles on a contract or project basis for years to help support isolated company needs. Conceptually, fractional exec work from problem-solving, but not always complexity runs parallel.
If you never reached the C-Suite during your career, positioning your capabilities as a consultant will still be vital in your ability to build a brand as a subject matter expert as well as position yourself as a problem solver in a specific area.
Five questions to ask yourself when developing your offering regardless of how you would like to classify yourself as Fractional, Consultant, or Freelance would be as follows:
 1. What problem do I want to solve?
 2. Who do I want to solve it for?
 3. What credentials do I have that support my ability to solve that problem?
 4. Who do I know in my network that can align me with my target audience?
 5. What business development tasks will I start with to build my business?
Three questions to ask yourself when taking on a new role are:
 1. What will the role include?
 2. What does success look like for this position?
 3. What is the time commitment?
In conclusion, having a clear understanding of your capabilities and researching who you will want to provide services to will help you formulate how you want to position your service offerings from a branding perspective. If you are a seasoned and multi-faceted executive, think about the benefits of positioning yourself as a fractional executive and or consultant.

The aim of this study was to examine the conscious processing hypothesis as an explanation of the anxiety/performance relationship. The study was designed to identify conscious processing performance effects while controlling for an alternative attentional threshold explanation identified in previous research. Participants completed 60 golf putts. They completed 3 blocks of 10 putts in single task, task-relevant shadowing, and task-irrelevant tone-counting conditions. Each set of 3 × 10 putts was completed in low and high anxiety conditions. Anxiety was elevated using an instructional set. Self-reported effort and spectral analysis of heart rate variability were used to examine the patterning of effort across the different putting conditions. Findings indicated that performance was impaired in the high anxiety shadowing and tone-counting conditions, supporting an attentional threshold interpretation. Spectral analysis of heart rate variability indicated that potential compensatory increases in spectral power in the high frequency band associated with dual-task putting in the low anxiety condition were absent in the high anxiety tone-counting and shadowing putting conditions, partially reflecting the performance findings. No effects were found for self-reported effort. Taken together, the performance and heart rate variability results support an attentional interpretation of the anxiety/motor performance relationship.

Christmas is a time of happiness and joy. However, some people may find it difficult to celebrate the holiday if their Christmas lights are going to keep flickering because of water damage. There are a few simple ways to keep your Christmas lights dry and avoid any potential damage. First, always make sure your Christmas lights are properly plugged into an outlet. Second, do not leave your Christmas lights up all night. Third, be careful when cleaning around your Christmas lights.
Benefits Of Keeping Christmas Light Plugs Dry
Keeping your Christmas light plugs dry can save you money in the long run. Not only will you avoid costly damage to your home, but you'll also be reducing the amount of energy that your lights are using. Here are some of the benefits of keeping your Christmas lights plugged into a dryer:
-You'll save money on repairs: If your Christmas lights are damaged by water, it's likely that you'll have to replace them. By keeping them plugged into a dryer, however, you can avoid this expense.
-Your holiday decor will last longer: Wet bulbs and cords can cause damage to CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATION, and they're not as festive as they could be.
Arrange Your Plugs So They Are In A Straight Line
Keeping your Christmas light plugs dry is important to prevent fires. Make sure the plug ends of your cords are in a straight line and not tangled. If you have multiple cords, try to group them together so they're not touching each other or the wall. When plugging in your lights, be sure to hold the cord close to the receptacle so water doesn't get inside and cause a fire.
Put Cardboard Or Paper Between The Two Prongs Of The Socket.
Dry Christmas light plugs can save you a lot of hassle this holiday season. By placing a piece of cardboard or paper between the plug and the light fixture, you can prevent water from getting into the electrical wiring and causing damage. If your Christmas lights start flickering or going out, using a dry plug may be all you need to solve the problem.
Keep Your Christmas Lights Away From Moisture
Keeping your Christmas lights away from moisture is important to keep them working properly. Moisture can cause electrical problems with your lights, and it can also cause them to break. If you live in a humid area, it's especially important to keep your lights dry. When storing your lights, make sure they're kept in a cool, dry place.
Place Water That Is Above Your Cord Level In A Container Or Bucket.
Keeping your Christmas lights plugged in during the dry winter months is important to avoid potential damage to your cords and light fixtures. Make sure to place any water that is above your cord level in a container or bucket, so it doesn't accumulate on the cord. If possible, try to keep the area around your cords clean and free of debris, so they'll stay healthy and not fray.
Use A Holiday-Themed Plug Cover To Keep Things Tidy
One of the best ways to keep Christmas lights plugged in and tidy is to use a holiday-themed plug cover. This way, all of the different light plugs will be easily identifiable, and no accidental disconnections will occur. When it comes to keeping Christmas lights plugged in, using a plug cover is one step that can make a big difference!
Tree Debris Away From The Christmas Light Plugs
Christmas is a season of joy and happiness. Spending time with family and loved ones is the best part of the holiday season. However, one thing that can ruin the fun is if your Christmas light cords get wet. The cords can become frayed, which can then lead to electrical shorts and even fire. To keep your Christmas light cords safe and dry, make sure to keep debris away from them. This means keeping tree branches and leaves away from the plugs, as well as any other objects that could fall on or near them.
Label Each Cord With A Piece Of Tape Or An Adhesive Label
Christmas is a time for family, friends, and celebration. Keeping the Christmas lights plugged in and dry is important to ensuring a festive mood. However, if left unplugged, even small pieces of dust can accumulate on the cords over time. This can create a fire hazard if the cord is pulled out while the light is still plugged in. To avoid this potential disaster, label each cord with an adhesive or tape label. This will keep the cords tidy and safe during the holiday season.
Don't Over-Dress Your Cords
Keeping Christmas light plugs dry can help prevent a power outage. Over-dressing cords can cause them to fray and break, weakening the electrical connection between the plug and the outlet. Instead of wearing bulky clothes that hide your cords, try using cord wrap or a holiday-themed cord holder.
Don't Overload Extension Cords
Whenever possible, try to avoid using extension cords. This is especially important during the holiday season when Wetlands and other water bodies are at their highest levels. extension cords can easily overload and cause a fire. Additionally, if plugs are left plugged in for long periods of time, they can overheat and start a fire.
Check Your Light Strings Every Few Days
Christmas is a time for family and friends to get together and celebrate. One way to make sure your Christmas light display looks its best is to check your strings every few days. If water or snow gets on the plug, it can cause the light to go out. By checking your strings regularly, you can avoid any issues and keep your display looking bright and beautiful!
It is important to keep Christmas light plugs dry to avoid potential electrical fires. This is especially important if your home has a lot of lights plugged in. Never use wet hands to plug in lights or extension cords, and be sure to have an emergency plan in place for any power outages. Finally, always wear safety gloves when working with electricity.
