[R] Calling R from fortran

An hour's worth of contour plots (12) should be able to be saved in far
less than 1 Gb, depending on the detail desired.
Here is one way to do your task. There are other, and probably better, ones.
At each time step (5 mins), you could have the Fortran program write a
data file and then write and execute a script file. The script file
would call R as a batch process to make a contour graph and save it (as
PNG perhaps), and then the script would delete the data file. You might
want to have the generated script files omit the "delete" step once per
hour, just in case the R step should fail when you are not around to
observe the failure.
I don't know if R can easily read Fortran unformatted (sometimes called
"binary") data, or how. That would speed up the Fortran I/O and
possibly reduce file size. If you go with formatted output, consider
limiting the number of decimal places you write to save disk space. In
most applications, you won't need great precision for simply making
graphs. Also, for writing large amounts of data, test various block
sizes on the Fortran OPEN statement to get best I/O speed.
Another possibility would be to use a Fortran library (like the free or
inexpensive DISLIN) that can make the contour plots directly, without
using R.

Let$\:$ $T=\{\varphi \in \Pi_1: PA+Con(PA) \vdash \varphi\:\:and\:\: PA\nvdash \varphi \}$. $\:$By the facts presented here Are undecidable consequences of Con recursively enumerable? by Andreas Blass and Emil Jerabek, we know that:
$(1)$ $T$ is $\Pi_1$-hard.
However it seems we can also prove that
$(2)$ $Cn(PA+Con(PA)) = Cn(PA+T)$
Let $\varphi$ be such that $PA+Con(PA) \models \varphi$. Obviously $Con(PA) \in T$, therefore trivially $PA+T \models \varphi$.
In the other direction, let $\varphi$ be such that $PA+T \models \varphi$. Since this is a first-order theory, by completeness and compactness we can infer that in the proof of $\varphi$ from $PA+T$ we use finitely many formulae, namely: $\phi_1, \phi_2, \dots \phi_n$. All of them either belong to $PA$ or belong to $T$ or can be inferred from $PA+T$. In particular they are implied by $PA+Con(PA)$. If so, they can be used in the proof of $\varphi$ form $PA+Con(PA)$, so $PA+Con(PA) \models \varphi$.
But from the work of Jeroslow _URL_ (Corollary 4) we find out that:
$(3)$ $Cn(PA+\{\varphi \in \Pi_1: \mathbb{N} \models \varphi \})$ is not $\Delta_2$
Since $(1)$ and due to the fact that the set above (I mean: $\Pi_1 \cap Th(\mathbb{N})$) has got its own truth definition and is $\Pi_1$ we infer that it is reducible to $T$.
So it seems that $Cn(PA+T)$ should also be "hard" and "not learnable" (in the sense of not being $\Delta_2$ ).
However we also know that $Cn(PA+Con(PA))$ is $\Sigma_1$. Since $(2)$ however $Cn(PA+T)$ is the same set of formulae.
So my question is: did I make any mistake in the reasoning above and one of $(1)$, $(2)$, $(3)$ is false or it can be the case that when we close some "hard" set up logical consequence, we can get an "easier" set. If so, the question is: how come?

I don't see any mistakes. A good chunk of the complexity of T comes from excluding certain sentences; specifically, those sentences provable in PA. But adding PA and then closing under consequence restores those sentences. That's why the complexity decreases. – Dan Turetsky Jun 5 '13 at 23:48
Thanks. You're right, but let's look at the theory I mentioned: PA+(Set of true Pi_1-sentences) which closed under consequence gives us nonlearnable theory. I don't "see", how - having a computable reduction of Set of true Pi_1-sentences to the set T- we obtain theories with different complexities? – mtg Jun 6 '13 at 0:15

The $\Pi_1$-hardness of $T$ comes from the clause $PA\not\vdash\varphi$. But when you consider $Cn(PA+T)$ its influence vanishes.
As $$T\subset Cn(PA+Con(PA))$$ we have $$Cn(PA+T)\subseteq Cn(PA+Cn(PA+Con(PA)))=Cn(PA+Con(PA)).$$ On the other hand $Con(PA)\in T$ therefore $Cn(PA+Con(PA))\subseteq Cn(PA+T)$.
Thus we have the equality $Cn(PA+T) = Cn(PA+Con(PA))$ indeed.
This also does not contradict Jeroslow's results as in $PA+\Pi_1(\mathbb{N})$ there are all $Con(X)$ (not just $Con(PA)$) and which is a sourse of complexity of this theory.
It is not very suprising that Cn operator can decrease the complexity of a set of sentences - you can always add a negation of a sentence of any given set to obtain an inconsistent theory i.e. primitive recursive. But it is a nice example how it can decrease it to something higher than just PR.

Let say you have measured a Sharpe Ratio of $S^*$. What is the simplest way (ie no fancy distributions) to do a hypothesis that this is different from $0$?
So $H_0: \text{ The sharpe ratio is equal to 0}$ and $H_1: \text{ The sharpe ratio is greater than 0}$.
So given $S^*$, $\mathbb{P}( Y = S^* ) \geq 0.05$
But what should the $Y$ be? I read somewhere online that it could the non centered t distribution, but I am not sure whether this could be centered to the standard t test distribution. Moreover, I would also like to consider the normal distribution and as the sample used to create the statistic should be greater than 30, the t test to normal approxaimtion should apply.
Can someone please help me with the details here?
The answer above is not correct.
Let's go by parts:
Denote the mean of returns $\mu$. Denote the standard deviation of returns: $\sigma$.
Therefore the sharpe ratio is:
$$ SR = \frac{\mu-r_f}{\sigma} $$
The corresponding standard errors are:
$$ se(\hat{mu}) = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{t}}$$ $$ se(\hat{\sigma}) = \frac{\sqrt{2} \sigma^2}{\sqrt{T}}$$ $$ se(\hat{SR}) = \frac{\sqrt{1+SR^2/2}}{\sqrt{T}}$$
So the t-stat for the sharpe ratio is:
$$ t-stat(\hat{SR})= \frac{\hat{SR}}{se(\hat{SR})}$$

Assuming of course the concept of a true population volatility/variance is a meaningful concept (one for another day). This can be material testing for non-zero Sharpes. This said, it remains a tautology that if (Mu-Rf)>0 then Sharpe>0. So there's a paradox in the special case of a test for zero, if one's confidence in a positive numerator is any different to one's confidence in a positive ratio (given a positive denominator, by definition). That makes no sense at all. Tx for interesting food for thought! $\endgroup$ – demully Jun 15 '20 at 23:49

Johnsonville Fossil Plant
TVA's Johnsonville Fossil Plant is located on 720 acres of land near Waverly, Tenn. It is named for the town of Johnsonville, which was flooded during the formation of the adjacent Kentucky Lake. The town was relocated several miles south and named New Johnsonville.
Johnsonville is the oldest fossil plant in the TVA fleet. Plant construction began May 12, 1949 with the first of the plant's 10 operating units going into service Oct. 27, 1951. The final unit began generating electricity on Aug. 20, 1959.
Johnsonville can generate about 1,500 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, enough to power approximately 800,000 homes. Units 1 through 4 also provide steam to a nearby DuPont plant in a co-generation configuration. Johnsonville is the only TVA coal-fired co-generation facility.
Nevertheless, units 1 through 4 will cease generation by December 2017, as part of a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Units 5 through 10 were idled in 2012.

text: This correspondence presents a novel hierarchical clustering approach for knowledge document self-organization, particularly for patent analysis. Current keyword-based methodologies for document content management tend to be inconsistent and ineffective when partial meanings of the technical content are used for cluster analysis. Thus, a new methodology to automatically interpret and cluster knowledge documents using an ontology schema is presented. Moreover, a fuzzy logic control approach is used to match suitable document cluster(s) for given patents based on their derived ontological semantic webs. Finally, three case studies are used to test the approach. The first test case analyzed and clustered 100 patents for chemical and mechanical polishing retrieved from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The second test case analyzed and clustered 100 patent news articles retrieved from online Web sites. The third case analyzed and clustered 100 patents for radio-frequency identification retrieved from WIPO. The results show that the fuzzy ontology-based document clustering approach outperforms the K-means approach in precision, recall, F-measure, and Shannon's entropy.

Liquor or liqueur. What is the difference?
The question seems simple enough and, in fact, there is a relatively simple answer…. sugar.
Both liquor and liqueur contain alcohol. Liquor is a distilled spirit made from a fermented mash of either grains, vegetables or fruits and is not sweet. Gin, vodka, tequila, rum and brandy are examples of liquor.
A liqueur begins with a base spirit such as brandy or rum, is sweetened with sugar, honey, syrup or beet and often infused with fruits, herbs, spices, flowers, seeds, and even roots and barks for flavor. Liqueurs generally have short aging periods (ie, they're ready to drink quite quickly), but may have resting periods during their production to allow flavors to blend. Examples of liqueurs are Chambord, Grand Marnier, Amaretto, creme de menthe, triple sec and Frangelico.
Points of interest:
- Liqueurs are generally thought to be descendants of herbal medicines often made by monks as early as the 13th century (Chartreuse, Benedictine). However, as early as 800 BC the Chinese were using crude distillation methods to produce fortified spirits from fermented rice wine, and Egyptians and Greeks were distilling grape wine in 400 BC that they sweetened with honey. So it's more likely that the brothers of yore simply introduced the art to Europe.
- In the USA, liqueur is generally pronounced lick-coor. Elsewhere the pronunciation is lik-yur.
- Liqueurs must contain at least 2.5% sugar by weight, though some have thirty five percent or more, to distinguish them from spirits. Creme liqueurs must have 40% sugar content.
- The term creme, when applied to a liqueur, refers to one flavor, not to any milk product. For instance, creme de menthe is flavored only with mint, creme de cacao with chocolate bean.
- Liqueurs may also contain dairy products, in which case they become cream liqueurs (not creme).
- Most liqueurs have a lower alcohol content than liquor, though that is not always the case.
- The term cordial is generally synonymous with the word liqueur although in Europe cordial can also refer to a sweet, non-alcoholic syrup such as Rose's lime juice cordial. Another, little-used term is ratafia.
Of course, we have to have a slight complication to throw in to the mix. Now-a-days there are many flavored liquors: vanilla vodka, saffron gin, for instance. These are not sweetened and the flavor is generally added by a steeping process after distillation.
OK, now you have all the information you need to confidently distinguish between a liquor or liqueur. So go out and use it.

Project Will Bring Reclaimed Water to Clearwater Residents
A project funded by the Southwest Florida Water Management District and the City of Clearwater will bring reclaimed water to residents who live in the Skycrest area of Clearwater.
The project includes the design and construction of a high-service pump station, more than 63,500 linear feet of reclaimed water transmission lines, distribution piping, and a five-million-gallon storage tank.
The project will interconnect reclaimed water supplies from the city's three waste water treatment plants, which will provide the ability to move reclaimed water to areas of high demand, and provide for the pumping and storage necessary to service additional customers in central Clearwater.
This project is expected to provide approximately 410,000 gallons per day (gpd) of reclaimed water to nearly 500 residential and commercial reclaimed water customers in central Clearwater. The project will offset 250,000 gpd of groundwater.
This cooperatively funded effort between the District's Pinellas-Anclote River Basin Board and Clearwater is estimated to cost $10.8 million. The District will contribute 50 percent of the costs.
Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2008 and is expected to be complete by December 2010.
Reclaimed water is wastewater that has received at least secondary treatment and is used for a beneficial purpose, such as irrigation. By offsetting demand for ground water and surface water, this alternative, non-traditional water source reduces stress on environmental systems, provides economic benefits by delaying costly water system expansions, and eliminates the need to discharge wastewater effluent to surface waters.

Difference between Vitrified Tiles and Ceramic Tiles
Key Difference: Vitrified tiles are made from a mixture containing clay and elements like silica, quart and feldspar, whereas ceramic tiles are simply made from clay. The clay can also be referred to as earthen clay. Thus, they primarily differ in their compositions.
Tiles enhance the beauty of floors and walls. Various options are available in the market and they often confuse the customer while making a selection. Types of tiles have their own set of advantages and disadvantages and thus, it tends to be really frustrating sometimes to conclude something after making the comparison. Vitrified and ceramic tiles are often compared, as they both are widely used, and therefore this article is stating the differences between these two types of tiles.
Vitrified Tiles have got the name from vitrify which means the process of making a glass or something similar to a glass. The tiles that are made using the method of vitrification fall in the category of vitrified tiles. This tile is known for its capacity to absorb water and also for being stain resistant.
Vitrified tiles are composed of a mixture containing clay and elements like silica, quartz and feldspar. Due to the presence of such ingredients, the mixture melts on applying a very high temperature and a glass substrate is formed throughout the tile. These tiles are non-porous tiles that have a glassy texture. Vitrified tiles use a dye that is mixed with the clay before setting it on fire. This dye makes the color consistent throughout the tiles. Therefore, if the surface of the tile chips off, then a similar color is exposed underneath.
On the other hand, ceramic tiles are plain clay tiles. The process simply involves molding the clay into the shapes of tiles and then cooking them inside a kiln. The heat forms the hard structure of clays. Later, the tiles are coated with glaze so that they become water resistant.
A variety of colors are also applied in order to obtain a large selection of tiles. As they are made by a mixture of clay and water, therefore they are not very strong. These tiles are also very porous and thus absorb water easily. In order to make them resistant to water they are often glazed. The glaze is used as a protective shield.
Therefore, vitrified and ceramic tiles primarily differ in the composition. Due to this composition difference, various factors of distinction tend to originate. Vitrified tiles are made of a mixture of clay with elements like silica, quart and feldspar. Therefore, when the mixture is baked in high temperatures, then the elements of the mixture fuse together and make a glass type product. These tiles are thus, very strong, durable and resistant to water. On the other hand, ceramic tiles are just made from the earthen clay. Thus, they do not form a glass type substance. These tiles must be glazed in order to obtain an external protection layer. The biggest advantage of ceramic tiles is that they have a natural and earthy look in comparison to the artificial look of vitrified tiles. Some of the differences are listed belowVitrified Tiles

2 Way Match Vs 3 Way Match Vs 4 Way Match In AP
The Differences Between 2 Way Matching, 3 Way Matching, an… Matching In AP
2-way, 3-way, and 4-way matching is a vital part of accounting when it comes to procurement and receiving. As one of the best internal controls to keep your business from paying for things you didn't receive or overpaying for things you did, it is well worth the effort it takes.
The Differences Between 2 Way Matching and 3 Way Matching In AP
If you work in accounting, you're probably already aware of the 2-way match vs 3-way match, but for those that aren't, let's take a closer look at each.
2-Way Matching
In 2-way matching, the purchase order and invoice information are verified to match within your tolerances as shown:
 - The quantity billed must be less than or equal to the quantity ordered
 - The invoice price must be less than or equal to the purchase order price
3-Way Matching
3-way matching, adds an additional criterion is added to verify that the receipt and invoice information match with the quantity tolerances you define.
The quantity billed must be less than or equal to the quantity received.
4-Way Matching
And 4-way matching adds yet another criterion to verify that acceptance documents and invoice match within your quantity tolerances.
The quantity billed must be less than or equal to the quantity accepted.
Setting your tolerance is also critical to determining your matching criteria. Sometimes companies consider quantities inside the tolerance limits as matched.
For instance:
If you order 100 items and have a 5% tolerance, and there is an invoice quantity of 103, this is within the tolerance and the matching system accepts it.
However, if you order 100 items with a 5% tolerance, and there is an invoice quantity of 115, this is outside the tolerance and the matching system will flag it for manual review.
Why PO-Matching Matters to Your Organization
If you're not an accounting professional, this may seem overly complex. In reality, all you're doing is ensuring you're only being billed for the number of items you ordered at the price you were quoted and confirming that you did receive the quantity you ordered.
The allowance for less than or equal to means that a vendor shipping more than the quantity you agreed upon or charging less than you agreed to is acceptable. This setup only flags in situations where a vendor sends less or charges more than the agreed-upon amounts.
This setup places the responsibility of error in favor of the consumer onto the vendor and is found in delivery-based manufacturing more often than many many realize.
"Without matching controls, the company could be purging money and not even realize it. Blindly paying invoices means you could be paying more than the agreed-upon price, paying for more than what you received, or paying for the same product multiple times. The matching process prevents paying fraudulent invoices."
How 2-Way, 3-Way, and 4-Way Matching is Done
In the past, this type of matching was done manually, which was time-consuming and left a lot of room for error. Traditional, the purchase order was filled out on paper and handed over to accounting. The vendor then invoiced the company and shipped out the product.
When the product was received, the receiving clerk would verify the quantity of product received, giving the packing slip to the accounting department. The accounting department would then compare the packing slip to the purchase order, then the purchase order to the invoice, and the invoice to the packing slip to make sure all the numbers lined up.
It was a lot of work for the accounts payable department and the receiving department. It all relied on the fact that a receiving clerk was indeed correctly verifying goods receipt and that the corresponding purchase order was readily available.
Now, thanks to AP automation, the accounts payable processes are streamlined. Two-way matching, three-way matching, and even four-way matching occur automatically once purchase orders, receiving reports, and invoices are all in the system.
If during the invoice matching process something doesn't line up, it is flagged for review, someone can take a look at it and solve the issue before making payment.
If the matching process goes smoothly, the company can take advantage of early payment options during invoice processing. This keeps vendors happy and may even position the company in such a way that they can leverage discounts to save even more money on future orders.
When it comes to 2-way match vs. 3-way match, three-way is the better option because it compares the purchase order to the receipt of the goods to the invoice to make sure you're only paying for goods you ordered and received.
Though accounting automation takes a bit of setup work to get started, it is well worth it in the end. Once in the system, everything will run through you're pre-established routing and rules for approvals, matching, and verification to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the entire procure to pay process.
With PLANERGY, there are notifications to keep the involved parties informed when there is something that must be done or any document requires their attention.

A crowbar, also be known as a pry bar, wrecking bar, gorilla bar or pinch bar, is a metal bar tool that has flatted points at each end, often with a small fissure to help remove nails or prise two materials or objects apart. One end of the bar is curved into a hook shape, which is a first-class lever and is usually the end most commonly used, and the straighter flat end is a second-class lever. (It is commonly believed this hooked end is where the tool gets its name from, as it resembles the beak of a crow.)
Crowbars are usually made from medium carbon steel to offer sustained strength and durability, but can also be made from titanium, which creates a lighter tool. They are forged from long steel products, such as rods and rails, and commonly have either cylindrical or hexagonal shapes to their bodies.
Our range of crowbars features products from industry leading brands, such as Bahco, GearWrench and RS PRO, and has tools ranging from 200mm to 1000mm or 8in to 48in.
The simplicity of a crowbar allows it to be considered a very versatile tool, enabling a wide range of work to be performed across multiple industries and their varied environments. The most common applications for crowbars are prising open nailed wooden crates, separating materials, such as boards, and can sometimes be used to remove nails from wooden surfaces.
Crowbars can be used in a vast multitude of projects that require a tool that can help exact leverage to separate materials, such as opening crates and pallet breaking in warehousing. They are also used commonly in renovation projects, used to remove panelling or lift flooring boards.
You might expect to see crowbars being used by any of the following industries:

The Grid environment facilitates collaborative work and allows many users to query and process data over geographically dispersed data repositories. Over the past several years, there has been a growing interest in developing applications that interactively analyze datasets, potentially in a collaborative setting. We describe the Active Proxy-G service that is able to cache query results, use those results for answering new incoming queries, generate subqueries for the parts of a query that cannot be produced from the cache, and submit the subqueries for final processing at application servers that store the raw datasets. We present an experimental evaluation to illustrate the effects of various design tradeoffs. We also show the benefits that two real applications gain from using the middleware.

There is no legitimate reason why women can't be sushi chefs, but plenty of excuses and old wives' tales abound in the male-dominated world of raw fish. Here, we recount the top reasons given to us by men as to why women and raw fish don't gel:
5. Because women menstruate: In an interview with the WSJ, Yoshikazu Ono, the son of Jiro Ono who runs the three-starred Michelin restaurant Sukiyabashi Jiro in Tokyo, says:
"The reason is because women menstruate. To be a professional means to have a steady taste in your food, but because of the menstrual cycle women have an imbalance in their taste, and that's why women can't be sushi chefs."
4. Because women wear makeup and perfume: These interfere with olfactory senses when preparing sushi.
3. Because women can't handle the work: Sushi involves hard labor, including gutting and slicing fish, working long hours and taking the last train home.
2. Because women have smaller hands: That messes up the size of the nigiri (mound of rice upon which the fish is placed).
1. And the number one reason: Because women's hands are too warm, which makes the rice too warm.
Needless to say, all of these reasons are bogus, folks.

A Cyclic Stress-Strain Constitutive Model for Polycrystalline Magnesium Alloy and its Application
The stress-strain behavior of cast magnesium alloy (AM60) was investigated by strain-controlled cyclic testing carried out on MTS. In order to describe the cyclic stress and strain properties of AM60 by means of the energy storing characteristics of microstructure during irreversible deformation, a plastic constitutive model with no yielding surface was developed for single crystal by adopting a spring-dashpot mechanical system. Plastic dashpots reflecting the material transient response were introduced to describe the plasticity of slip systems. By utilizing the KBW self-consistent theory, a polycrystalline plastic constitutive model for Magnesium alloy was formed. The numerical analysis in the corresponding algorithm is greatly simplified as no process of searching for the activation of the slip systems and slip directions is required. The cyclic stress-strain behavior, based on this model, is discussed. The simulation results show good agreement with the experimental data for AM60.

Difference Between Sea and Lake
Sea Vs Lake
Almost anybody knows the difference between a lake and a sea. However, when asked about the true nature of other seas like the Caspian Sea, people will already have second thoughts. Yes, the confusion sets in when identifying some bodies of water which are called seas but are actually lakes. An example of which is the very popular Dead Sea which happens to be the lowest level lake in the world, not to mention one of the saltiest there is. So how come the Dead Sea is a lake and not a sea?
First, a lake is an inland water body. This means that it is surrounded by land. The body of water is usually moderate to big in size with the water surface being exposed towards the atmosphere. Thus, most lakes in the world have a surface area of below 100 sq. mi. although there are dozens of other lakes that even spans to more than 1,500 sq. mi. in area. With regard to depth, the majority of lakes are shallower than the seas.
As mentioned, the confusion sets in because there are some lakes that are named as seas. Aside from the Dead Sea, the Caspian Sea is another lake that is called sea. It is treated by many as a sea because of its size. This lake is so huge that from whatever angle you'll try to look at, it would seem as if you're looking at a long stretch of shore. This is because the Caspian Sea is the biggest or largest lake in the world. It is bordered by several countries including Iran and Southern Russia. Another lake that is called a sea is the Aral Sea.
On the contrary, seas are different from lakes because they are not enclosed by land. They have a relatively bigger volume of water and are usually connected to the wide open ocean. Seas are undoubtedly deeper as compared to lakes. It is a continuous stretch of salt water. There's an exemption to this definition however because a sea can also be a landlocked (like a lake) immense body of saline (salty) water which doesn't have an outlet towards an ocean. This definition can best be applied to the case of the Caspian Sea.
Lakes are shallower than the seas
Lakes are enclosed by a body of land.
With regard to the volume of water, lakes can be small, moderate to big in size whereas seas are often always a lot bigger in size.
Lakes can either be salt water or fresh water while seas are always salt water in nature.

You define Vanity URLs in CQ to create easy-to-remember and easy-to-search URLs on your website.
The following video demonstrates how to define a Vanity URL for a specific page on your website.
To verify the vanity URL that you created using the steps in the video, do the following:
- Go to the Adobe CQ5 Web Console (http://localhost:4502/system/console/jcrresolver).
- Enter the name of the vanity URL in the Test text box of the Configuration Test section and click Resolve.
The result of the test appears in the next line.
If you defined the URL correctly, the path value in the result displays the resolved URL.
You can also use the Sling Resource Resolver to verify issues that you face when creating vanity URLs.
For example, if the vanity URL does not exist:
Also, you defined a vanity URL but when you test the URL on the browser, another page shows up.
Again, you can use the Sling Resource Resolver to verify the resolved URL for a vanity URL. For example, you defined the same vanity URL (dealoftheday) for two pages on your website.
This issue occurs since you define vanity URLs by page. So it's necessary to go to a specific page to define a vanity URL for that page. In this case, you inadvertently set the same vanity URL for two pages.
To get around this issue, you can either go to the Sling Resource Resolver and go through the list of Resolver Map Entries. This list contains defiend vanity URLs.
Alternatively, you can use the URL Mapping feature of CQ to replicate this functionality.
To create a URL map between a /content URL in your repository and a shortened URL:
- Go to the Configuration tab of the Adobe CQ5 Web Console (http://localhost:4503/system/console/configMgr).
- Go to the Apache Sling JCR Resource Resolver section.
- Click the + sign in the URL Mappings section.
- In the new text box, enter the resolved URL and the vanity URL.
- Click Save.
- Finally, follow the steps to verify your vanity URL, goingforgold.


First 5: 20 Years of Putting Kids First
In November 1998, California voters passed Proposition 10, the "Children and Families Act of 1998" initiative. The act levies a tax on tobacco products to provide funding for early childhood development programs. Revenues generated from the tobacco tax must be used to enhance the early growth experiences of children, enabling them to be more successful in school and ultimately to give them an equal opportunity to succeed in life. Revenues must be used for the following specific purposes:
 - To create a comprehensive and integrated delivery system of information and services to promote early childhood development;
 - To support parenting education, child health and wellness, early child care and education, and family support services; and
 - To educate Californians on the importance of early childhood development and smoking cessation.
Tobacco tax revenues are collected at the state level. Eighty percent of these funds are then allocated to the 58 counties according to annual birth rates. The remaining 20 percent of the money is allocated to First 5 California to support statewide programs, research, and media campaigns. Statewide First 5's are the largest investor in early childhood programs ($2 billion in 20 years) However due to smoking prevention efforts, this tobacco tax is a declining source of revenue and therefore the Prop 10 allocation diminishes each year.
In Sacramento County the annual birth rate is approximately 20,000 and First 5 Sacramento's Prop 10 annual allocation is approximately $11 million. This funding provides innovative preventative child development and programs and services. Since our inception First 5 Sacramento has invested $318 million into Sacramento County through our community partners.

The Stacks project
Remark 86.21.2. In [Definition 1.7, ArtinII] a formal modification is defined as a proper morphism $f : X \to Y$ of locally Noetherian formal algebraic spaces satisfying the following three conditions1
 1. the Cramer and Jacobian ideal of $f$ each contain an ideal of definition of $X$,
 2. the ideal defining the diagonal map $\Delta : X \to X \times _ Y X$ is annihilated by an ideal of definition of $X \times _ Y X$, and
 3. any adic morphism $\text{Spf}(R) \to Y$ lifts to $\text{Spf}(R) \to X$ whenever $R$ is a complete discrete valuation ring.
Let us compare these to our list of conditions above.
Ad (i). Property (i) agrees with our condition that $f$ be a rig-étale morphism: this follows from Lemma 86.8.2 part (7).
Ad (ii). Assume $f$ is rig-étale. Then $\Delta _ f : X \to X \times _ Y X$ is rig-étale as a morphism of locally Noetherian formal algebraic spaces which are rig-étale over $X$ (via $\text{id}_ X$ for the first one and via $\text{pr}_1$ for the second one). See Lemmas 86.17.5 and 86.17.7. Hence property (ii) agrees with our condition that $\Delta _ f$ be rig-surjective by Lemma 86.18.12.
Ad (iii). Property (iii) does not quite agree with our notion of a rig-surjective morphism, as Artin requires all adic morphisms $\text{Spf}(R) \to Y$ to lift to morphisms into $X$ whereas our notion of rig-surjective only asserts the existence of a lift after replacing $R$ by an extension. However, since we already have that $\Delta _ f$ is rig-étale and rig-surjective by (i) and (ii), these conditions are equivalent by Lemma 86.19.3.
[1] We will not completely translate these conditions into the language developed in the Stacks project. We hope nonetheless the discussion here will be useful to the reader.

In this paper, the limitations of the performance of electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) as optical transceivers in passive picocell systems by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method are theoretically investigated. EAMs with no bias voltage are modeled by the FDTD method with consideration of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and optical powers in optical waveguides. Transmission and responsivity of EAMs according to various optical input powers and chip lengths are calculated. Then, power margins of the downlink and uplink paths are estimated to define the service ranges of the passive picocell systems. In addition, EAMs with biased voltage are characterized for comparison. The results suggest that the service range of the passive picocell system using a no-biased EAM can be extended up to 20 m with a chip length of 400 μm and an optical input power larger than 10 dBm.

I have a 500 x 400px square with a 100px grid inside it. Now I want to fill that square with smaller random sized square that snap to the grid. This means that the smaller squares can be either 100, 200, 300 or 400 pixels in size. Their size and position needs to be random, so the output will look different every time it runs.
This image shows the large square, its grid, and a possible output with the smaller squares that I'm trying to create.
Image Test
I'm generating this in Ruby / Sinatra with DIV's, but I guess the question is more general towards the actual algorithm to use.
Any suggestions on how to do this with the least amount of code?
share|improve this question
Given a square, there are a finite number of places to put it. If you're not worried about speed: generate random square size up to some max; get all possible places to put it; randomly choose one and put it. If there are no possible places, decrease the max size. – Timbits Sep 4 '11 at 3:57

This method would take a lot of code, but I think what I would do is using Donald Knuth's Dancing Links algorithm (DLX) (or some other algorithm) to find all possible arrangements of squares. You can compute the arrangements ahead of time, then you can quickly/randomly pick one later when you need them.
You can read his paper about the algorithm and its application to pentominoes (which is very similar to your problem) here:
share|improve this answer
One simple recursive approach you could take that would produce a fairly good random distribution works like this: as a base case, any grid that is 100x100 must be filled with a 100x100 square. Otherwise, if the grid is n x n for some n that's small enough to hold a square, you may choose to tile it with a square of that size. Otherwise, pick some side of the rectangle that isn't of size 100, pick some random place that's a multiple of 100, then split it in half and recursively tile both halves.
The main advantage of this approach is that you never have to keep track of where you've put older rectangles to avoid hitting them. You always work with empty rectangles and keep recursively subdividing the problem in a way that ensures that the regions never overlap.
This may not always give good results, but it's very easy to code up (I'd assume maybe 15-25 lines of code total) and can easily be tweaked to change the output.
Hope this helps!

Is there a minimum number of slices when running the N4 Filter
When running the N4 filter as part of my (c#) code, I see that if the input image has only 1 slice I get an error, even if I set ShrinkFactor=1. The error message is:
Exception thrown in SimpleITK N4BiasFieldCorrectionImageFilter_Execute: d:\a\1\sitk-build\itk-prefix\include\itk-5.2\itkImageBase.hxx:165:
ITK ERROR: Image(00000218C297CE70): A spacing of 0 is not allowed: Spacing is [0, 123, 123]
With 2 slices or more, I don't get an error (as long as the shrink factor is 1).
Will be glad for any advice - thank you!
Hello _USER_,
This is strange. When you read a single 3D slice you should have an image of size [x,y,1] and spacing [dx,dy,1.0]. Not sure how a spacing of zero happens in your case.
Possibly a manually created image and not one read from disk?
I get the same error also when trying to run the N4 filter from within the "Slicer" application when input-ing a single dicom slice extracted from a 3d dicom image.
How would it matter if the image is ""manually created" vs read from the disk?
When working with a 3D "slice", with a dimension of size 1, frequently the image needs to be reduced to 2D.
The ExtractImageFilter can be used to convert a 3D image into a 2D image. When the extraction size has a "0" value for a dimension then that dimension will be collapsed and the output dimension reduced by 1.
Also the SimpleITK ImageFilterReader can take an extraction size (and index) to perform the same operation as part of the IO. Here is an example: Advanced Image Reading — SimpleITK 2.0rc2 documentation

Half a loaf is better than no bread
What's the meaning of the phrase 'Half a loaf is better than no bread'?
Something, even if it isn't what you ideally would prefer, is better than nothing.
What's the origin of the phrase 'Half a loaf is better than no bread'?
This proverbial saying is first found in the same place as many other proverbial sayings - John Heywood's 1546 glossary A dialogue conteinyng the nomber in effect of all the prouerbes in the englishe tongue:
Throwe no gyft agayne at the giuers head,
For better is halfe a lofe then no bread.
Many proverbs are a form of condensed popular wisdom and 'half a loaf is better than no bread' seems like plain common sense - few would argue with it. Nevertheless, in psychology experiments to determine whether fairness was an innate concept in humans or whether it was learned, pairs of UK and US children have been set the following test:
One child is offered four sweets (or candy if you prefer) and the other is offered one. The child with the opportunity to take four sweets is given this choice:
A. Either, you get four sweets and the other child gets one.
B. Or, you both get nothing.
Surprisingly to many, children routinely choose option B and reject the sweets, preferring to maintain a sense of fairness. In purely material terms this makes little sense as, by maintaining fairness, the choosing child robs the partner of one sweet and him/herself of four.
Heywood might have suggested 'throw no gift at the giver's head' but children don't appear to agree.

What Does Lobster Taste Like?
Lobster tastes like a cross between shrimp and crab, which is firm yet soft and smooth to bite.
Lobster is juicy and plump and it's meat is firm and smooth.
How would you describe the taste of lobster to someone who has never eaten it?
Have you ever eaten crabs or other crustaceans?
If the answer is yes, I can say lobsters are between the sweeter version of crabs and the meatier version of shrimp.
Lobster is very similar to crabs if you want to know how it tastes.
If it does not taste like crabs, then it tastes a bit like scallops.
Is lobster supposed to taste fishy?
Lobster does not have a full fishy taste like crabs.
However, lobster has a distinctive flavour.
They are really delicious but with a less fishy taste.
Small lobsters taste the best than larger ones.
For the best taste and flavour, buy live ones.
You can buy them cooked if you are squeamish.
What tastes similar to lobster?
Lobster has a similar taste to crabs, clams, shrimp, and scallops.
Monkfish is a white fish with a subtle undertone sweet taste, similar to lobster.
Is lobster delicious?
Yes. Lobster these days is served as a delicacy and considered as luxurious meat.
The cool water where lobsters live makes them tenderer and sweeter than their spiny counterparts.
What does raw lobster taste like?
Raw lobster mate tastes sweet and has a different flavour and texture compared to cooked meat.
Shrimp vs lobster, what's the difference?
Lobsters are less diversified than shrimps.
Shrimps' habitat is brackish, fresh and saltwater, but lobsters live only in brackish and saltwater.
Lobsters are walking or crawling crustaceans, while shrimps are swimmers. Lobsters are considered larger than shrimps.
Crab vs lobster, what's the difference?
The exoskeleton shape is the distinctive feature that differentiates lobsters and crabs.
Lobsters have a longer and larger exoskeleton, while crabs have a circular exoskeleton.
Lobster claws are also larger than crabs'. Lobsters are large, while crabs are decapod crustaceans.
Crabs belong to the brachyuran infraorder while lobster belongs Homaridae and Nephropidae family.
Does lobster taste like scampi?
No, scampi tastes closer to prawns than lobster.
Does lobster taste like shrimp?
The lobster tail meat is chewy and firm and tastes like the sweeter and meatier shrimp version.
The spongy and firm meat texture comes from the high protein content in the tail.
Does lobster taste like crab?
Yes, the fact that crabs and lobsters are crustaceans make them have similar flavours.
However, lobsters have a cleaner and sweeter flavour, while crabs have a muddy flavour depending on crab type.
Why does lobster taste so good?
The taste of lobster retains its freshness even after steaming.
Therefore, it has some hints of tanginess and saltiness, hence maintaining its sweet flavour profile.
Does anyone not understand the appeal of lobster?
Many people don't like the taste of lobster.
You can be unimpressed by the fork squishing of meat and cracking lobster's carcass.
The Taste of Lobster
Lobster meat is soft, firm and smooth in the mouth, making them a sweeter and meatier version of shrimp.
Their tail has high protein content, giving it a spongy texture.

"The buffer pool is too full to bring in another page" in IBM Notes client
Technote (troubleshooting)
When saving documents or opening views in the Notes client, the client display the error message "The buffer pool is too full to bring in another page" and the operation might also fail.
This is a memory error, and can occur if the client is using too much memory, e.g. running background agents that require lots of document data in memory simultaneously. However, this has been observed in cases where there wasn't an especially large amount of memory in use, or where nothing has apparently changed from before.
If this is not a case of actually using huge amounts of memory, there are two likely causes:
 - The notes.ini parameter NSF_Buffer_Pool_size_MB has been set to a value that's too low. This is unlikely, because generally this variable isn't set at all, and its default value (which is calculated based on a percentage of available memory) is usually ample for normal use.
 - The system is low on available disk space for swap files. This is the likeliest explanation, especially in cases where the error suddenly started occurring and nothing about the client had changed.
Resolving the problem
Check the notes.ini file for the NSF_Buffer_Pool_size_MB parameter; if it is present, delete it (or comment it out), and restart Notes.
If your OS has a tool for freeing up disk space (e.g. by deleting temporary files), use it.
If freeing disk space doesn't improve matters, it's possible that your Notes client is running some new agent or subprocess that uses a lot of memory. Experiment with the setting NSF_Buffer_Pool_size_MB to different values. However, setting this parameter larger may have adverse effects on other programs.
You might also check whether there are other processes running on your computer that are using particularly large amounts of memory (use Task Manager in Windows, or similar program in other operating systems). See whether shutting down those processes gets rid of this error message.
If Notes itself is using memory in excess of 200MB, disable the ability to run background agents, and see whether that makes a difference. This is menu File / Preferences, Basic Notes Client Configuration, checkbox "Enable scheduled local agents," in the "Startup and shut down" group at the top of that window. Otherwise, consult your local Notes system administrator to determine whether there are additional libraries loading with your Notes client that may be using extra memory, and whether any of them can be disabled.

Firecracker flower makes a stunning house plant that blooms dependably from spring through fall. It is an ornamental / flower that typically grows as a perennial, which is defined as a plant that matures and completes its lifecycle over the course of three years or more. Its deeply veined, glossy leaves grow in opposite pairs, growing up to 5 in (13 cm) long. Orange flowers are most common, but other colors include red, yellow and pink. The flowers are held upright from green tubular bracts. Even young plants are eager to bloom, sending up clusters of flowers most of the year.
Potting Soil Mix
Every 12-13 Month
1. Crossandra like bright shade. Place them in bright, indirect light.
2. Apply any potting mix soil.
3. Crossandra need relatively high amounts of water. Keep them moist during the growing season and never allow them to dry out.
4. These plants need a week liquid fertilizer every week during the growing season. In the winter, cut back to once every month or so.
5. Crossandra should be deheaded regularly to keep the plant blossoming as long as possible. Snip off the flower stalks at the ground level to do so.
1. Highly Effective in Curing Wounds
2. Ornamental Purpose
1. In dry climates, mist the leaves weekly to provide enough moisture for them.
2. In the winter, provide as much light as possible.
1. In the winter, they need less water but should still never be allowed to dry out altogether.
2. Never over fertilize! You will see lots of weak, leafy growth and few flowers.

To improve the load-carrying capacity of steel structures there are mainly two methods of using cover-plate which are the preflex method and multi-stepwise thermal prestressing method. However a prestress applied to the top flange of H beam is less than the bottom flange because these two methods have small eccentricity. It is necessary to develop an advanced feature of prestressing method which efficiently increases load-carrying capacity and prestressing efficiency. Therefore this study proposes a cover-plate prestressing method with increased sectional stiffness and prestressing efficiency, called multi-stepwise thermal prestressing with steel brackets. To evaluate the prestressing efficiency and load-carrying capacity of the proposed method, prestressing application tests and static loading tests were conducted on three H beams. The multi-stepwise thermal prestressing method with the steel brackets had higher displacement induced to the H beam and higher tensile stress in the top flange than in a case without the steel brackets. Also, when prestress is applied, the tensile stress in the cover-plate significantly decreased with the installation of the steel brackets. The static loading tests showed that the installation of the brackets increased the stiffness, the yield load, and ultimate load of the structure, compared with an unreinforced girder, which meant higher load-carrying capacity than a conventional thermal prestressed structure without brackets.

This is a Guide for creating icon themes for Inkscape 1.0+
What are multicolor icons?
From Inkscape 1.0 on, Inkscape icon sets can make use of 3 user-customizable highlight colors, plus a user definable base color (colors can be mixed and blended). A user can select the colors in Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme: Display icons.
The stock multicolor icon theme was designed by Adam Belis. Most of its icons are based upon those contained in the hicolor symbolic icon theme.
Since Inkscape's switch to Gtk3, every icon is saved in a separate file. There are about 450 different icons used in Inkscape. When you're creating your own icon theme, you don't need to make a new one for each of those. Instead, you can base your changes on an existing icon theme (hicolor or Multicolor).
How does it work?
Gtk supports up to 4 classes of colors:.success,.warning and.error. Normally,.error is set to red,.warning is orange and.success is green. The default colors can be set in a CSS file in the theme's folder. Inside this file also there is.base color defined is foreground color and the background is transparent or widget background-color.
How to build a new set of icons: Practical Guide
Creating a new icon theme and setting its default colors
 1. Find the Inkscape data folder at Edit > Preferences > System: Inkscape data.
 2. Find you Inkscape user icon folder at Edit > Preferences > System: User icons.
 3. Open the folder icons in the Inkscape data folder.
 4. Copy the multicolor icon folder from there into your Inkscape user icon folder.
 5. Rename the new folder to your new name (for example, call it Super Cool Icons).
 6. Open the file index.theme in your new icon folder with a text editor (e.g. Notepad), and adjust the name and comment line there, too. Save the file.
 7. To set up your default colors:
 1. Open the file highlights.css in your new Super Cool Icons folder with your favorite text editor be careful only touch the color definition and dont add extra spaces, new lines or reindent...
 2. Adjust the hex color codes of the classes to your liking, e.g. if you want your.success class to be green, you will change it to #009909.
 3. You can copy hex colors from Inscape's Fill and Stroke dialog or use an online color chooser, e.g. _URL_.
 4. The.dark classes can be used to adjust your color scheme to dark themes.
 5. Save and close the highlights.css file.
 8. You can also come back and tweak the colors later, if you like.
Editing or creating your first icon
Now when you are happy with your colors, we can jump into icon editing:
 1. Think about how you want to use the three available colors for your theme, e.g. maybe you want to sort icons by functionality, placement, or any other attribute.
 2. Open any icon file in the folder symbolic/actions inside your Super Cool Icons folder with Inkscape 1.0.
 3. Open the dialog Object > Selectors and CSS. disabled in 1.0 but still accessible via shortcut Shift+Ctrl+Q
 4. Also open Edit > Preferences > Interface > Theme and select the icon theme you have just created.
 5. Delete the current icon.
 6. Design your own icon on the same layer.
 7. To assign a color to a fill:
 1. Select the path.
 2. In the Selectors and CSS dialog, you will see 3 classes (.success,.warning,.error) (you may need to expand the dialog, or switch to vertical mode to be able to see them).
 3. Click on the + button next to the desired class, e.g. if you want the fill to be green (.success), you will click on + button next to.success.
 4. If you changed your mind and want a different class, you can click on the triangle behind the class name to expand the list of objects that use the class, and remove the class from the path by clicking on the x button.
 5. You need to add each path a class.success,.warning,.error trought XML Inspector
 8. To preview your new icon, save the icon file (Ctrl+S), and switch to a different theme, and then switch back to your new theme in the preferences to force a reload of the icon theme, or just toggle the 'dark theme' option twice.
 9. Now you can see how the icon looks when it is used in the Inkscape interface.
 10. Repeat the process 450 more times to finish your very own Super Cool Icons.
 11. Congratulation you did it! Dont forget to share your Super Cool Icons theme with the community on the Inkscape website.
Feature support
 - 3 solid fill colors (set by classes) + 1 base color
 - arbitrary opacity values (not alpha, but object opacity)
 - LPEs (live path effects)
 - clip masks
 - filters (not recommended, not change on dark/bright changes, resolution-dependent)
 - embedded bitmaps (not recommended, not change on dark/bright changes, resolution-dependent)
 - strokes with any color different from the theme base color
 - Workaround: add the 'Join type' LPE (it nondestructively converts strokes to paths)
 - gradients
 - Workaround: you can simulate linear gradients by creating multiple rectangles in a row and changing their opacity (0,10,20,30...), and then clipping this group with the shape you want to have a linear gradient.
you can simulate a radial gradient by adding circles increasing in size and decreasing in opacity. You can also simulate gradients by using blur on paths.
 - mesh gradients
 - blend modes
 - different colors than those set by.success,.warning and.error.
 - Workaround: you can create more than 4 colors by layering objects with lowered opacity. Create a duplicate of the path, then change the new path's opacity and select one of the color classes. E.g. use one object with the class.success at 30% opacity, placed on top of another object with an unset fill for a different shade of the.success color.
Best practices
 - Keep it all in one layer and do not change the name of the layer.
 - Keep in mind that the icons are going to be very small (16x16px), so use a grid for drawing to ensure crisp rendering. It seems like you need to use a 24x24 grid for icons inside SOME panels (alignment and distribution).
 - Add a color class to all paths, or unset the fill. If no class is set, the default class.base will be used.
 - Try to keep the SVG file small and simple so it does not take a long time to render your icons (this can impact start up time).
 - Try to use discrete opacity values: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100% to keep the SVG files small.
 - Use a low precision for your file's coordinates (maximally 0.xx). This includes node poritions, object transformations etc.).

With the help of energy analysis suggested by McLaughlin and Scott for the sine-Gordon equation, evolution of kink velocity modeling the propagation of a local conformational perturbation along the DNA molecule under the simultaneous action of dissipation effects and special nonstationary external fields is investigated. For a harmonically time-dependent external force, the kink velocity is characterized by oscillations about a rather monotonically decreasing trend expressed by an explicit analytical formula. The trend velocity coincides with the results of calculations of the kink velocity averaged over the period on different time intervals. Similar results are obtained for a nonstationary force in the form of a step function. A numerical analysis, in particular, demonstrates that the trend velocity changes its behavior for certain values of rectangular pulse duration.

Firm Inattention and the Transmission of Monetary Policy: A Text-Based Approach
63 Pages Posted: 9 Aug 2021
Date Written: August 4, 2021
This paper provides direct evidence of the importance of firm attention to macroeconomic dynamics. We construct a text-based measure of firm attention to macroeconomic news and document firm attention that is polarized and countercyclical. Differences in attention lead to asymmetric responses to monetary policy: expansionary monetary shocks raise stock returns of attentive firms more than those of inattentive firms, and contractionary shocks lower returns of attentive firms by less. We interpret the findings using a quantitative model of rationally inattentive firms and calibrate parameters for information frictions using our text-based measure. In the model, firms invest in attention endogenously and face heterogeneous information costs. Less attentive firms adjust prices slowly in response to monetary innovations, which yields non-neutrality. As average attention varies over the business cycle, so does the efficacy of monetary policy.

Flying in a circulated air, pressurized plan at 30,000 feet has some negative affects the skin. For some people, the difference is very noticeable (to them, if not to others) whereas others experience little effect. There are 2 main ways that plane travel affects the skin:
#1: UV exposure
Studies indicate that there is a high level of UV radiation that makes it through the planes windows because of the higher elevation (closer to the sun + less other atmospheric elements in the air filtering the UV rays). If you love the window seat, it is advisable to apply a layer of sunscreen (or moisturizing sunscreen) before your flight. You likely will not burn regardless, but remember that sun damage is cumulative whether or not the skin burns or tans.
The main symptom of being on a plane is dehydration. Not only of the body, but of the skin as well! For some of us, that may actually lead to acne breakouts because the skin gets dry and overcompensates with increased oil production! For non-oily types, skin may feel dry, itchy or even irritated (because of that barrier function we've discussed already this series). To combat this, try applying a moisturizer before you fly and/or during flight if it's particularly long (6+ hours).

Configuring MAC Limiting on the Cisco ASR 903 Router
This document describes how to configure MAC limiting on the Cisco ASR 903 Router.
Restrictions and Usage Guidelines
MAC limiting is supported on the following interface types:
-You can apply MAC limiting only to bridge-domains.
-MAC limiting is supported for dynamic MAC addresses.
Configuring MAC Limiting
Mac address limiting per bridge-domain restricts the number of MAC addresses that the router learns in bridge-domain on an EFP, pseudowire or switchport.
When the total number of addresses in a bridge-domain exceeds the maximum number, the router takes a violation action. You can enable the following actions:
-Warning—The router sends a syslog message and takes no further action. The router continues learning new MAC addresses and forwarding traffic.
-Limit—The router sends a syslog message and generates a trap; MAC learning is disabled on the bridge-domain until the recovery mechanism activates. Flooding of frames with new MAC addresses continues; to disable flooding, use the flood keyword. Flooding continues once the total number of MAC entries drops below the threshold value. This option applies only when you configure the limit keyword.
Note The threshold value must be 80% of the maximum value configured for the recovery mechanism.
-Shutdown—If the number of addresses exceeds the maximum (MAX) value, the router sends a syslog message and moves the bridge-domain (bdomain) to a disabled state. To restore the bridge-domain, disable and re-enable the mac-limiting feature.
Follow these steps to configure MAC limiting on the Cisco ASR 903 Router:
This example shows how to enable per-bridge-domain MAC limiting. The first instance of the mac-address-table limit command enables MAC limiting. The second instance of the command sets the limit and any optional actions to be imposed at the bridge-domain level.Router# enableRouter# configure terminalRouter(config)# mac-address-table limitRouter(config)# mac-address-table limit bridge-domain 10 maximum 100 action limit floodRouter(config)# endRouter#show mac-address-table limit bdomain 10bdomain action flood maximum Total entries Current state-------------+----------+------------+------------+---------------+---------------10 limit Disable 100 0 Within Limit

Scientists link ancient Arctic camel to modern breed
OTTAWA (AP) — Ancient, mummified camel bones dug from the tundra confirm that the animals now synonymous with the arid sands of Arabia actually developed in subfreezing forests in what is now Canada's High Arctic, a scientist said Tuesday.
About 3.5 million years ago, Strathcona Fiord on Ellesmere Island's west-central coast would have looked more like a northern forest than an Arctic landscape, said paleobotanist Natalia Rybczynski of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.
"Larch-dominated, lots of wetlands, peat," said Rybczynski, lead author of a study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. Nearby fossil sites have yielded evidence of ancient bears, horses, deer, badgers and frogs. The average yearly temperature would have been about 0 Celsius (32 Fahrenheit).
"If you were standing in it and watching the camel, it would have the feel of a boreal-type forest."
The Arctic camel was 30 percent larger than modern camels, she said. Her best guess is it was one-humped.
Although native camels are now only found in Africa and Asia, scientists have long believed the species actually developed in North America and later died out. Camel remains have been previously found in the Yukon.
What makes Rybczynski's find special is not only how far north it was found, but its state of preservation.
The 30 fragments found in the sand and pebbles of the tundra were mummified, not fossilized. So despite their age, the pieces preserved tiny fragments of collagen within them, a common type of protein found in bones.
Analyzing that protein not only proved the fragments were from camels, but from a type of camel that is much more closely related to the modern version than the Yukon camel. Out of the dozens of camel species that once roamed North America, the type Rybczynski found was one of the most likely to have crossed the Bering land bridge and colonized the deserts.
"This is the one that's tied to the ancestry of modern camels," she said.

Examples of scheduled monuments
Below are examples of scheduled monuments, ranging from early prehistoric to modern monuments.
Early prehistoric monuments
Despite recycling of stone for later uses, early prehistoric burial
sites such as this chambered cairn still contain important and unique information about burial practices
around 5000 years ago.
Later prehistoric monuments
Around 2000 years ago people in northern and western Scotland lived in substantial stone houses, often with defensive qualities. Here a submerged causeway leads from the shore to an island dun.
For a time in the 2nd century AD, the Antonine Wall was the north-west frontier of the Roman empire.
Early medieval monuments
The Picts of the 4th to 7th centuries AD built forts in many parts of Scotland, here reusing masonry from a nearby Roman fort.
Later medieval monuments
Later medieval churches were at the heart of their communities. Along with their graveyards they can tell us about changing religious beliefs and how this was reflected in the church architecture and burial practices.
It can be difficult to identify the remains of medieval settlements, but deserted settlements are characteristic of much of post-medieval Scotland. This fermtoun appears to contain at least eight separate units or farmsteads, pre-dating the transition to the dispersed farmsteads of the post-Improvement era.
We now recognise the cultural significance of the military remains of the 20th century.
In Scotland, seven wrecks dating from the First World War are scheduled in Scapa Flow, Orkney. Scottish Ministers can also designate wrecks under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973.


Herefordshire Look up Herefordshire at
Old English Herefordscir, from Hereford (958), literally "ford suitable for the passage of an army" (see harry (v.) + ford (n.). Probably so-called in reference to the Roman road passing over the Wye River. Herford in Germany has the same etymology. As the name for a type of cattle, first bred there, it is attested from 1789.

The Happy Museum was delighted to invite Tom Crompton of the Common Cause Foundation to speak at a recent gathering of our 5-Year Study Group of museums. Tom spoke about the Foundation's research into Human Values and Frames and opened up a discussion into the implications and opportunities of this work in museums. He observed:
'Museums can play a crucial role in reflecting and shaping people's values – the things that matter to people in life. These values play a crucial role in determining levels of wellbeing, cultural belonging, and public expressions of concern about a wide range of different social and environmental challenges. Research suggests new ways to encourage reflection on values and the factors that shape these.
Common Cause Foundation recently worked with internationally leading social psychologists and Ipsos-MORI to conduct a survey of the values of one thousand demographically representative UK citizens.
They found that:
- 74% of UK citizens place greater importance on compassionate values (associated with greater wellbeing, cultural belonging, concern about social and environmental issues, and civic engagement) than selfish values
- However 78% of UK citizens underestimate the importance that a typical fellow citizen places on compassionate values and over-estimate the importance that they place on selfish values
- People who suffer such misconceptions about a typical fellow citizen's values also report higher levels of cultural estrangement and lower levels of civic engagement (they are less likely to have voted, for example).
- Asked what values they believe are encouraged by 'arts and culture – galleries, museums, theatre and music', most people say that they believe these institutions encourage compassionate values less than they themselves hold these to be important, and encourage selfish values more than they themselves hold these to be important.

Why is it called Throwing?
Origin of "To throw": Old Engilish – twist, to turn, to propel. Some potters describe their work at the potters wheel as turning. The Old English word thrawan from which to throw comes, means to twist or turn. Going back even farther, the Indo-European root *termeans to rub, rub by twisting, twist, turn. The German word drehen, a direct relative of to throw, means turn and is used in German for throwing. Because the activity of forming pots on the wheel has not changed since Old English times, the word throw has retained its original meaning in the language of pottery but has developed a completely different meaning in everyday usage. Those who say they throw pots are using the historically correct term. Those who say they turn pots are using more current language. Both are saying the same thing

How long do beef sausages take to cook?
How do you cook beef sausages?
Just bring a saucepan of water to the boil, and then place the uncooked sausages in the water. Make sure they're completely submerged in the water, and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let the sausages simmer for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the water and dry them off with a paper towel.
How do you tell if beef sausages are cooked?
To determine whether it's done, you can measure the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Sausages should reach 155–165°F (68–74°C). Alternatively, boiling them before cooking in a pan or on a grill can ensure that they're thoroughly cooked and remain moist.

How do you cook beef sausage on the stove?
 1. PAN FRY. Cut Smoked Sausage sections in half lengthwise or into 1'2″ slices. Add to non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook 6-9 minutes, turning frequently.
 2. STOVE TOP. Add sausage to 2-3 inches of boiling water.
 3. GRILL. Grill over medium-high heat for 12-14 minutes, turning frequently.
How long do sausages take to cook?
What is the best way to cook sausages?
Pan-frying is probably the most popular way to cook sausage. What makes it so effective is the fact that you can fry other ingredients alongside the sausage, which will acquire their flavors during cooking. Set your stove to medium heat and heat your pan or skillet for a couple of minutes, until it gets hot.
How do you tell if a sausage is cooked?
Use a meat thermometer. Insert the needle tip into the end of the sausage and measure the internal temperature of the meat. When the internal temperature has reached 160°F (70°C) for pork and beef or 165°F (74°C) for chicken and turkey for at least 30 seconds, the sausage is fully cooked and ready to serve.

Fried sausages recipe
Should you boil sausages before frying them?
When you cook raw or fresh sausage, pre-boiling can bring the meat to a safe internal temperature faster, which helps eliminate any foodborne pathogens in the meat. However, while you can boil sausage before frying, it is usually not necessary.
How do you cook sausage in a frying pan?
 1. Spray a skillet with cooking spray.
 2. Add sausage.
 3. Cook over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes, turning links often.
 4. Reduce heat to medium-low.
 5. Carefully add ½ cup water to skillet.
Can you bake sausages instead of frying?
There are many ways to cook sausages, but cooking them in the oven is often the simplest method. You don't have to stand over them, turning them in a frying pan or on the grill. And cooking them on foil means easy clean-up. … Then, depending on their size, bake them for 20 to 40 minutes in the oven at 350 °F (177 °C).
Should you pierce sausages?
Never, ever prick a sausage. … Cook sausages slowly over low heat on a greased grill, turning several times. High heat will simply cause them to split their skins and expunge their precious bodily fluids. Sausages also like a little rest after cooking.

Is it better to fry or bake sausages?
Don't bake your sausages
While this seems like the healthy option, it doesn't provide the fry-up experience that pan cooking does. Baking prevents the exterior from developing that lovely umami taste we all crave.
Is it safe to eat undercooked sausage?
Yes, you can get severely sick by eating undercooked sausage, but then again it depends on what type of sausage you're eating. … They're not magicians or psychics and they can't see if the sausage contains a harmful bacteria such as Trichinosis.
