To immerse in and scrutinise the submarine depths are activities that can be fully attained in the waters of La Paz. The Sea of Cortes offers a series of places suitable for the practice of these sport activities at this Mexican city.
The following places are recommendable for submersions:
- Espiritu Santo: it is a huge island of 83 square kilometres, and its serene beaches are occasionally visited by numerous seals, whilst seabirds such as seagulls, pelicans, frigates and cormorants nest on its rocky formations and in the cracks of their surfaces.
This beautiful island was discovered by Hernan Cortes in 1535, during one of his many journeys along the California Peninsula. In those times the place was inhabited by the Pericúes, a pre Hispanic people that remained in the zone until the first third of the XVIII century.

How to specify which recording device to use with python sounddevice
I want to use the following function twice.
This function converts live audio input into a wav file.
For the first time, I use my pc built-in microphone and for the second run, I use my headphone's microphone that I plugged in before I run the code.
But when I tried my function it used only my headphone's microphone:
import sounddevice as sd
from import write
from playsound import playsound
def audio_to_wav(dst, device):
 converts live audio to wav file
 :param dst: destination wav file
 # Sample rate:
 fs = 4410
 # Duration of recording:
 seconds = 5
 myrecording = sd.rec(int(seconds * fs), samplerate=fs, channels=2, device=device)
 # Wait until recording is finished:
 # Save as WAV file:
 write(dst, fs, myrecording)
In my main I called this function twice:
def main():
 # transfer mic1 audio to wav:
 audio_to_wav("file1.wav", 0)
 # transfer mic2 audio to wav:
 audio_to_wav("file2.wav", 1)
 # play the wav files audio:
But when i ran this code the function used only the headphone's microphone.
How can I use both my pc built-in microphone and my headphone's microphone at the same time?
The problem was that in the audio manager (in my case it's Realtek audio manager), the recording device advance settings were set to "Tie up same type of input jacks…".
When I changed it to "Separate all input jacks as independent input devices" it fixed the problem.

Charge determination for specified shape Coulomb force virtual structures
Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics
The focus of this paper is the generation of high Earth orbit (HEO) Coulomb force structures. These structures are characterized by a set of charge carrying nodes, but no interconnecting struts. By correctly setting the node charges, the inter-node Coulomb forces create a static, crystal-like structure. The uniqueness of the work is the examination of how to form specified shape structures using a subset of all available nodes. In addition, the plasma shielding effect is considered explicitly. An equilateral triangle structure example is given to illustrate the approach where 5 nodes are used in the structure, 3 of which are used to satisfy an equilateral triangle shape goal. The example also illustrates that practical Coulomb structures should have inter-node separation distances in the 10s of meters range or less.

We are having a problem with inconsistent wound measurements that involve undermining. Can you offer any tips?
Undermining is tissue breakdown that extends underneath intact skin along wound edges (margins). It is caused by shearing forces and can result in skin breakdown around the entire wound perimeter or at various locations around the wound perimeter. Due to the variable locations where undermining can occur, clinicians should always document and measure the depth and direction of the undermining.
1. Assess for undermining.
- Start at top of wound (12:00). (Consider a wound as the face of a clock, where "12:00" points to patient's head and "6:00" points to the patient's feet.)
- Use a cotton tip applicator and gently probe around wound edges in a clockwise direction. 2. Once undermining has been identified, insert applicator into the area.
3. Grasp applicator where it meets the wound edge using thumb and forefinger.
4. Withdraw applicator while maintaining thumb and forefinger in position.
5. Measure from the tip of applicator to wound position using a centimeter ruler.
6. Measure and document the deepest area(s). (Note there should be a beginning point and ending point.)
7. Document findings by referencing the "Clock System." Examples of documentation:
- Generalized documentation – 4 centimeters (cm) undermining noted from 6:00 – 10:00
- Specific – Undermining noted from 6-10:00, ranging from 2–4 cm, deepest area is 4 cm at 10:00
- More specific – Undermining noted along wound perimeter from 6–10:00; 6:00–2.8 cm; 7:00–2 cm; 8:00–3.6 cm; 9:00–2.5 cm; 10:00–4 cm

With much of the northeast experiencing scorching temperatures, high humidity and little to no precipitation, Carbon County is among the growing number of counties that have been placed on the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's drought list.
Mark Nalesnik, the Carbon County Emergency Management Agency director, released an updated drought map from DEP yesterday.
According to the composite indicator map, dated July 6, numerous counties throughout the eastern portion of the state are in a drought watch or warning. Carbon County is listed in a drought watch.
A drought watch declaration is the first level and least severe of the state's three drought classifications. It calls for a voluntary 5 percent reduction in non-essential water use. The classifications are dependent on four indicators, including precipitation deficits, surface water levels, groundwater levels and soil moisture. Drought watch conditions begin to occur when a deficit of 25 percent of the normal precipitation happens over a three-month period. Drought warning conditions occur when a deficit of 35 percent is recorded and drought emergency conditions begin to happen when a deficit of 45 percent is recorded.
Nalesnik recommends that Carbon County residents try to conserve water, if possible, until the drought situation improves.
He noted that there are three burn bans currently in place in the county.

August 7, 1987 – Lynne Cox becomes the first person to swim from the USA to the Soviet Union
Today in History-
- 1987 – Lynne Cox becomes first person to swim from the United States to the Soviet Union, crossing the Bering Strait from Little Diomede Island in Alaska to Big Diomede in the Soviet Union. Courtesy of Wikipedia.
Lynne Cox (born 1957 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American long-distance open-water swimmer, writer and speaker. She is best known for being the first person to swim between the United States and the Soviet Union, in the Bering Strait, a feat which has been recognized for easing the Cold War tensions between US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
In 1971, she and her teammates were the first group of teenagers to complete the crossing of the Catalina Island Channel in California. She has twice held the record for the fastest crossing of the English Channel from England to France (1972 in a time of 9 hours 57 minutes and 1973 in a time of 9 hours 36 minutes). In 1975, Cox became the first woman to swim the 10 °C (50 °F), 16 km (10 mi) Cook Straitin New Zealand. In 1976, she was the first person to swim the Straits of Magellan in Chile, and the first to swim around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.
Cox is perhaps best known for swimming 2 hour 5 minutes in the Bering Strait on 7 August 1987, from the island of Little Diomede in Alaska to Big Diomede, then part of the Soviet Union, where the water temperature averaged around 43 to 44 °F (6 to 7 °C). At the time people living on the Diomede Islands, only 3.7 km (2.3 mi) apart, were not permitted to travel between them, although the Inuit communities there had been closely linked until the natives of Big Diomede were moved to the Russian mainland after World War II. Her accomplishment a few years before the end of the Cold War earned praise from both US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
At the signing of the INF Missile Treaty at the White House, Gorbachev made a toast. He and President Reagan lifted their glasses and Gorbachev said: "Last summer it took one brave American by the name of Lynne Cox just two hours to swim from one of our countries to the other. We saw on television how sincere and friendly the meeting was between our people and the Americans when she stepped onto the Soviet shore. She proved by her courage how close to each other our peoples live."

The Carbonadium Synthesizer, is used to synthesize carbonadium, the only metal that can neutralize the "death factor" of Omega Red. The Carbonadium Synthesizer can liquefy carbonadium so that it can be molded into new forms.
Carbonadium is a resilient, unstable metal that is vastly stronger than steel but more flexible than adamantium. Due to its malleability, carbonadium is less durable than true adamantium, but still nearly indestructible. Omega Red has carbonadium coils through which he can transmit his ability to drain life energies. Carbonadium is highly radioactive and a very small amount, if ingested, has proven capable of dramatically slowing down Wolverine's healing factor. The only device that can produce carbonadium, known as the Carbonadium Synthesizer, was initially believed thrown into a river in Brussels by Wolverine; it has since been revealed that the Carbonadium Synthesizer had been hidden on the deceased body of a double-agent who died escaping Omega Red along with Wolverine, Sabretooth and Maverick. The synthesizer was retrieved and handed back to Maverick, whose mission was to retrieve the item for parties unknown. If implanted within the body, objects composed of carbonadium have proven to slow the accelerated healing factors of Wolverine and his son Daken. While slowed considerably, their healing powers aren't completely suppressed. It is currently unknown if carbonadium affects other beings with superhuman healing powers in a similar manner.
Wolverine is currently trying to locate the Carbonadium Synthesizer in order to safely neutralize and rescue his son Daken.
Omega Red is also searching for the Carbonadium Synthesizer in order to stabilize his condition.

This is a broad question so for simplicity I will use Seal of Fire and Naturalize.
Scenario 1: Common exchangecreating a baseline.
 - Player A uses Naturalize on Seal of Fire
 - Player B Sacrifices SoF in response. SoF is highest on the stack and goes off first.
 - This leaves Naturalize without a valid target.
Scenario 2: Complicated exchangeIs this legal?
 - Player B Sacrifices SoF.
 - In response Player A targets it with Naturalize.
 - SoF is on the stack and it's ability has not resolved. Player B (as above) sacrifices SoF in response to the Naturalize.
Can Seal of Fire be placed back on the stack by re-activating its ability, potentially with a new target?
share|improve this question
2 Answers 2
No, your second example is not possible using the game rules.
Player A cannot target SoF with Naturalize, because it is currently in the graveyard. If they wanted to target the SoF, they need to do so when they had priority. Player A cannot prevent the SoF from being sacrificed for its ability anyway, since the ability exists independently of the source that created it. Seal of Fire says, "Sacrifice Seal of Fire: Seal of Fire deals 2 damage to target creature or player." It is an activate ability whose [Cost] is "Sacrifice Seal of Fire." If Player B paid the cost to activate SoF, it would no longer be on the battlefield by the time the Active Player received priority.
112.3b Activated abilities have a cost and an effect. They are written as "[Cost]: [Effect.] [Activation instructions (if any).]" A player may activate such an ability whenever he or she has priority. Doing so puts it on the stack, where it remains until it's countered, it resolves, or it otherwise leaves the stack. See rule 602, "Activating Activated Abilities."
116.1. Unless a spell or ability is instructing a player to take an action, which player can take actions at any given time is determined by a system of priority. The player with priority may cast spells, activate abilities, and take special actions.
 - It is not possible to sacrifice a permanent twice. After you sacrifice a permanent, it is placed into its owner's graveyard.

I was under the impression that because the ability had not resolved, as it was interrupted by the naturalize, it was placed on the stack before the card reached the graveyard. – Stormchild Mar 3 '12 at 19:29
_USER_ You pay all costs at the time you activate an ability (i.e. put it on the stack). The actions you take as part of paying costs don't use the stack. – Alex P Mar 3 '12 at 20:14
To put Alex's comment another way, the card goes to the graveyard at the same time as the ability is first placed on the stack. There is no opportunity for you or your opponent to do anything between the ability being placed on the stack and the moving of the Seal to the graveyard. The casting of Naturalize happens well after both of those actions. – David Z Mar 4 '12 at 7:46
user1873 is right. Scenario 2 is not legal since the sacrificing is a cost. To try to it clarify further: If Seal of Fire instead did "T: Destroy ~this~ and deal 2 damage to target player" it would still deal 2 damage to the player if you destroyed it before the ability resolved.
112.7a Once activated or triggered, an ability exists on the stack independently of its source. Destruction or removal of the source after that time won't affect the ability. Note that some abilities cause a source to do something (for example, "Prodigal Sorcerer deals 1 damage to target creature or player") rather than the ability doing anything directly. In these cases, any activated or triggered ability that references information about the source because the effect needs to be divided checks that information when the ability is put onto the stack. Otherwise, it will check that information when it resolves. In both instances, if the source is no longer in the zone it's expected to be in at that time, its last known information is used. The source can still perform the action even though it no longer exists.
A common analogy is that of a soldier throwing a grenade at you. Shooting the soldier after he has thrown the grenade won't prevent the grenade from killing you
The only way you can stop it is either counter the ability (Stifle) or prevent it from fulfill other restrictions like destroying mountains for Valakut, the molten pinnacle's land limit.

Relationship between Personal Well-Being and Academic Achievement among Pakistani International Students Studying in ChinaJournal: International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) (Vol.9, No. 12)
Publication Date: 2020-12-05
Authors : Amna Khalid Chaudhry; Zainab Ikram;
Page : _PHONE_
Keywords : Personal Well-Being; Academic Achievement; Pakistani International Students;
This study explored the relationship between academic achievement and personal well-being of a sample of 85 students (Male=72), (Female=13) studying at the prestigious universities (Pakistani international students) in China enrolled in the scholarship program. The sample comprised 10 undergraduate language diploma students, 44 Master's, and 10 Post-Graduate students. The students who were not in the People Republic of China during the epidemic was excluded from the survey. Due to the epidemic situation, the data collection was done through an online website as a survey method. The relationship between academic achievement the previous grade and expected grade point was self-administered by the respondents. Personal well-being and the demographic group differences including gender, age, educational level were assessed. In addition, the personal well-being index (PWI-A) for adults was used to analyze the personal-wellbeing of the student population. A positive correlation was identified between academic achievement (expected grade point) with subjective well-being (.913**) Whereas, there was no significant correlation between (previous grade) academic achievement and subjective well-being respectively. Testing Anova for the group differences, there were no significant differences between the demographic groups respectively. Keywords: Personal Well-Being, Academic Achievement, Pakistani International Students.

Out of period
Out Of Period (often abbreviated OOP) refers to anything that was not discovered or in general use during the time-frame accepted to be covered by the SCA. By contrast, anything that falls within the accepted time-frame is said to be "in period" or simply period.
Some items that would technically be OOP are considered "in period by consensus" (not sure of the exact phrasing) as life would be way too difficult without them. Some examples include:

The Tiger Who Came To Tea Memory Card Game
The classic game of pairs with a twist.
To start shuffle the cards and place face down on a large surface. The youngest player goes first and turns over two cards and shows the other players what's on them. If it's a matching pair they keep them, if not the cards are turned back over in their original place. Play continues to the next person on the player's left. The key to success is remembering where the different cards are so you can select a matching pair when it's your turn. Here's the twist - if a player picks up a card with Dad walking in the door shouting 'I'm Home', the player shouts 'I'm Home' and all the cards have to be shuffled around so no-one knows where each of the cards are.
The Tiger Who Came to Tea Memory Card Game features 54 jumbo cards beautifully illustrated with scenes from Judith Kerr's classic children's storybook.
Not Suitable for children under 3 years.


Can't Be Calculated, Would Require Summing Deduplicated Values
This guide applies to this message that can appear in your results for unique count metrics, such as Facebook's "Reach" metrics:
Example query result showing the "can't be calculated..." message for Facebook reach
Data Studio specifically may not show this error in the results. It may instead show the results as "0" or "null" when this is happening, making it harder to diagnose. If you do see "0" or "null" for metrics that should have values, this may be what is causing that.
If the data source calculates a metric to be a unique count, it's usually doing the calculation based on a specific object the ad, campaign, account, post, etc. So if the query then is not split in a unique enough way, this message will appear. This may be that the query is not split at all, or that there are ads/campaigns/objects with the exact same name. In this case Supermetrics will try to sum those based on shared name or some other dimension, and fail to do so as they should be unique counts for unique objects.
As seen in the example above, there are multiple ads with the same names. When Supermetrics tries to sum those, it cannot and instead give the error.
The best resolution is to modify your query to include another dimension field that is unique - such as the ad ID, Campaign ID, Post ID, etc. The sums will then be split according to their unique object and clear the error.
The original example now split by Ad ID shows the reach values properly - you'll note the ad names are clearly not unique and was the cause of the original problem:
Example query result showing data split by Ad ID and being able to get the reach values for all ads
Some products also have an advanced setting to "ALLOW_SUM_UNIQUE", which bypasses this safety message and will sum them anyway. Note that this can lead to false values for unique metrics and is not recommended. (This setting is not available for Data Studio, you need to use the fix above.)
Example of the Advanced Setting for Google Sheets:

Rétha Oceanic Gin
Rétha Spiritueux is a unique micro-distillery located on the Île de Ré, off the coast of the Cognac region. The name Retha is derived from word for "inhabitant" in the patois of the island. The island is nicknamed "Ré la blanche," or White Re, in reference to the white color of its houses painted with lime and the clarity of the sunlight.
Rétha Spiritueux pays homage to its terroir, its oceanic environment, and the artisanal knowledge of Charentais distillation. Their approach is based on the desire to use the local, natural resources to create authentic spirits.
Rétha spirits are hand-distilled to keep the strength and essence of the raw materials in a micro-distillery, borrowing from the expertise of traditional Charentais distillers.
A water bath is used to allow a slower distillation and better quality. Depending on the needs and specifications of the products to be distilled, it makes it possible to pass from a double-pass distillation or a column distillation .
Rétha Oceanic Gin is a "distilled gin" resulting from a maceration and then a distillation. Filtration is done at room temperature to preserve the aromas and smooth texture that refer to the ocean sweetness.
The ingredients of Gin by Rétha have been carefully selected to convey the sensations of a stroll on the coast.
The recipe of Rétha Oceanic Gin uses the fucus variety algae freshly harvested by hand on the Rétais coastline.
Highly loaded with iodine, they are recognized for their therapeutic virtues. In some Asian countries, they are part of the food consumed regularly.
They are greenish brown in color and have clear gaseous vesicles that allow them to float while attaching themselves to the rock with a disc - shaped crampon.
Tasting Notes
Rétha Oceanic Gin is a distilled gin inspired by the riches of the sea.
Its innovative recipe uses the fucus algae hand-harvested on the Île de Ré to produce a well-tempered gin that pays homage to its maritime identity.
Its oceanic flavors, invigorating, iodized, and its freshness transport you to the edges of the Atlantic Ocean.
An adaptable gin, it works well consumed neat, on the rocks, as an aperitif or digestive, and brings an oceanic touch to the classic Gin and Tonic.
Juniper berry, the foundation of all gins, brings freshness and the invigorating side of the Atlantic. The latter is reinforced by a note of ginger that supports this feeling.
The palate opens and finishes on the iodine, salty and maritime touch of the Fucus algae, complemented by an astonishing citrus note that is enhanced by a hint of lemon. Finally pepper brings strength and ocean power.


Mask Guidelines
To: Parishes and Missions of the Catholic Diocese of Lexington
From: Diocesan Communications
Mask Guidelines in Light of CDC, Governor's Announcements
LEXINGTON — In light of Gov. Beshear's Executive Order of May 13 lifting the mask mandate for persons fully vaccinated against COVID-19, parishes and missions of the diocese should observe the following protocols at Mass, beginning immediately:
1. Social distancing rules remain in place (six feet apart except for immediate family).
2. Masks are not required for people who are fully vaccinated, per CDC definition (see below).
3. Those who attend Mass but are not fully vaccinated must continue to mask, and since the new CDC announcements and governor's directives make it impossible to enforce mask restriction, all are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
Per the CDC, a person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson. A person who doesn't meet these requirements, regardless of age, is not fully vaccinated and should continue taking all precautions until fully vaccinated.


NIIT (Net Investment Income Tax) is a 3.8% tax on investment income that was passed as part of Obamacare. This tax only applies to investment income if total income is above a threshold that varies based on filing status. For more information, see the IRS website. Following the IRS instructions, US taxpayers are unable to use Foreign Tax Credits (for taxes paid in Australia) to offset NIIT. So Australian taxpayers who are subject to NIIT are paying a Medicare Levy in Australia AND NIIT to fund US health care under Obamacare. This is a clear case of double taxation!
Of interest is this recent post by John Richardson exploring whether the current Australia/US Tax Treaty requires the US to allow a credit against NIIT for taxes paid in Australia.
2 thoughts on "NIIT"
 1. Dual U.S.-Australian nationals living in Australia are exempt from the Unearned Income Medicare Contribution Tax; more commonly known as the Net Investment Income Tax.
 The reason I emphasize the naming difference is critical. If it's an income tax, you would consider foreign tax credits and the income tax treaty. If it's a Medicare tax, it's covered by the U.S.-Australia Totalization Agreement; a separate treaty that addresses social security and Medicare taxes.
 It is most definitely not an income tax. That was a misnomer; a name given to the tax by people that are not qualified to advise on international tax matters. Shockingly, it became the norm, but it does serve to distinguish between international tax practitioners that know what they're talking about and those that don't.

DOT Physicals
What is a DOT physical?
A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exam is a medical exam required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for commercial motor vehicle drivers. DOT physical exams help determine whether a commercial vehicle driver is physically and mentally fit to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). DOT physical examinations help test the general wellness of a professional driver and screen for any mental or neurological medical conditions that may affect a driver's ability to safely operate a vehicle. You must pass a DOT physical to receive a commercial driver's license (CDL).
Who needs a DOT physical exam?
People who are looking to become professional drivers must pass a DOT physical exam before they can receive a CDL. This includes truck drivers bus drivers. You must pass a DOT physical if you:
 - Operate a commercial motor vehicle with a gross combination weight of more than 10,000 pounds.
 - Operate a motor vehicle that carries more than 15 people.
 - Are paid to operate a motor vehicle that carries more than 8 people.
 - Transport hazardous materials that require the vehicle to have a hazmat placard.
Are CDL physicals the same as DOT physicals?
Yep! A CDL physical exam is the same thing as a DOT physical exam. You must pass a DOT physical in order to obtain a commercial driver's license. A DOT physical ensures that you are physically and emotionally fit, with the mental acuity, to drive a commercial vehicle.
What does a DOT physical cover?
DOT physical exams assess your ability to safely operate a commercial vehicle. If you pass a DOT physical examination, you will be given a Medical Examination Report and a Medical Examiner's Certificate. The DOT physical will cover:
Medical history: You will need to provide medical records that display your medical history. The examiner will also ask questions about the medication you take, surgeries you've had, and substances you may use (like drugs, alcohol, and tobacco).
Physical examination: Your examiner will perform a full physical evaluation to assess your eyesight, hearing, and blood pressure. The doctor will determine whether you have any underlying conditions.
Urinalysis: You will be asked to take a urine test to screen for health conditions such as diabetes.
Most health conditions will not keep you from passing a DOT physical for your CDL. There are, however, a few conditions that may disqualify you, including:
 - High blood pressure
 - Epilepsy
 - Some cases of sleep apnea
 - Poor vision that cannot be corrected
 - Deafness that cannot be corrected with hearing aids
 - Diabetes
 - Irregular heartbeat
 - Heart or lung disease
If you can manage some of the conditions listed above, you may still be able to pass a DOT physical. The medical examiner will ask questions about how you manage such conditions, and how they affect your daily life.

How long does a DOT physical take?
The DOT physical is a very routine physical exam, so unless any serious health concerns are found, the entire exam will only take about 30-45 minutes. To prepare for your DOT physical, it is recommended that you bring eyeglasses/contacts, hearing aids, medications, or other medical devices that you regularly use. Having this information on hand will help speed up the process.
What is a DOT medical card?
The DOT medical card is another name for the medical examiner's certificate. This certifies that you are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to operate a commercial vehicle. You must receive a medical examiner's certificate to be able to receive a commercial driver's license (CDL).
How long is a DOT medical certification valid?
If you pass your DOT physical exam, you will be given a medical examiner's certificate that is valid for two years. If you happen to have a condition like diabetes or high blood pressure, you may be required to take a DOT physical exam every year. If this is the case, you will be informed during your first physical exam.
So affordable. So simple. So easy to use.


What is the chemical resistance of Findenser?
General guidance
Findenser is resistant to the majority of solvents and splash-resistant to dilute acids and alkalis at room temperature. Extended exposure to acids or alkalis will attack the outer metal surface of the Findenser. It is important to clean off any chemical spills immediately after they occur.
Further detail
The inner body of Findenser and the cone/socket, i.e. the wetted parts that come into contact with the substance being evaporated during normal use, are borosilicate glass 3.3, which has very good chemical resistance. (See TB 101 Glass Technical Data sheet available here for further details.)
The metal finned jacket is anodised aluminium and the plug and seal are acetal and HT silicone.
Please consider the chemical compatibility of your chemicals with these materials. You can consult chemical resistance tables online.
It is not feasible for our R&D Laboratory to test Findenser with every possible chemical, so we cannot provide data.
As well as wiping off any spills, ensure there is not a significant concentration of corrosive chemical vapours in the air around the Findenser (e.g. by using the Findenser within our guidelines, so the solvent is retained in the Findenser/flask).
There is an advised cleaning protocol detailed in the FAQ entry, 'Should I clean my Findenser? If yes, how?'


WPF Support
ReoGrid can work with both Windows Form and WPF. The core of ReoGrid works for both platform, there are independent view modules for rendering and handling user interface on each platform. The APIs of control that faced to user code are almost the same. User code that uses ReoGrid graphics interface for rendering custom cell or handling user event in cell can work on different platform.
Same one template file such as Excel or RGF that can display on Windows Form platform as well as WPF platform. Below are the results from different platforms that uses same template (order_sample.rgf).
As the result ReoGrid tries to keep almost the same appearance for different platforms.
Add spreadsheet control in XAML
Add ReoGrid DLL reference for target project, edit the XAML file of main window as below:
File MainWindow.xaml:
 x:Class="WPFDemo.MainWindow" Title="MainWindow" Height="640" Width="800">

Make sure the namespace is declared in the attribute list, then define a ReoGridControl tag inside Grid tag, run the application, an empty spreadsheet will be displayed in window like below:
In code behind, write code to call APIs of worksheet in order to set same example data and styles:
// get current worksheet instance
var worksheet = grid.CurrentWorksheet;
// get a range reference
var range = worksheet.Ranges["B2:C3"];
// merge the range
// set range styles
range.Style.BackColor = Graphics.SolidColor.LightYellow;
range.BorderOutside = RangeBorderStyle.BlackSolid;
// set range inner data
range.Data = "Hello World!";
The APIs of WPF edition is totally same as the Windows Form edition, see documentation for more details.
Load a template spreadsheet file
Set attribute LoadFromFile to load a template spreadsheet from file:
By run this sample the template spreadsheet will be displayed. It is possible to fill the data in a specified range by code after loading:
public MainWindow()
 grid.CurrentWorksheet.FileLoaded += CurrentWorksheet_FileLoaded;
void CurrentWorksheet_FileLoaded(object sender, unvell.ReoGrid.Events.FileLoadedEventArgs e)
 var worksheet = grid.CurrentWorksheet;
 var dataRange = worksheet.Ranges["A21:G35"];
 dataRange.Data = new object[,]
 {"[23423423]", "Product ABC", 15, 150, 2250},
 {"[45645645]", "Product DEF", 1, 75, 75},
 {"[78978978]", "Product GHI", 2, 30, 60},

From May 1, 2023, the size of the basic calculation value used to calculate the number of state fees will increase in Uzbekistan, including for actions with objects of intellectual property.
The size of the basic estimated value increases by 10% (from 300,000 to 330,000 Uzbekistani sum). Accordingly, all fees for filing applications, registration, and other actions with trademarks, patents, and industrial designs in Uzbekistan will increase by the same amount.
In particular, at the current exchange rate of the Uzbekistani sum, the state fee for applying for TM in one class will be about $700, and $235 for each additional class. Read more

To adjust the string height of the biscuit bridge, remove material from the top of the bridge saddle or insert. File the string notches, making sure they're not too deep. Typically, half of a wound string's diameter lies in it's slot, while the plain string's slots are the same depth as each string's diameter. On slide guitars, the tops of the strings should all be the same height above the fretboard, so the bar will move smoothly across the strings.
Before you attach the biscuit to the cone, be sure the cone is seated correctly in the soundwell, and that the soundwell is clean and level. The area of the cone that contacts the underside of the biscuit must be flat. Place a piece of 180-grit sandpaper on a flat surface and level the bottom of the biscuit. Once you have trued the cone, biscuit seat, and biscuit, attach the biscuit to the cone using the small wood screw. Some builders, attach the biscuit to the cone with a thin bead of glue. Elmer's white-glue works very well.

Ministry of Public Health today announced the registration of 623 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 and the recovery of 61 cases, bringing the total number of recovered cases in Qatar to 750.
Most of the new cases are for expatriate workers most of who have been subject to quarantine after it was found that they were in contact with confirmed cases.
All newly infected cases have been put into isolation and are receiving the necessary medical care.
With the registration of 61 new recovered cases, the total number of people to have recovered from COVID-19 is 750.
The Ministry of Public Health stated that the recent increase in the number of confirmed new cases of coronavirus is due to several reasons, including that the spread of the virus has begun to enter the peak stage (i.e. the highest wave that affects the country), which may continue to increase for a period of time before it begins to decline.
It is also due to the increase in the efforts of the Ministry and its medical teams to track the transmission chains of coronavirus and expand the surveillance process, including of groups of contacts with people who were previously diagnosed with the disease. All of this has contributed to the early detection of many cases of infection and reduced the spread of the virus.

8 Reasons to Dump a Mutual Fund
Reasons to Dump a Mutual Fund
Many financial advisors and academics do not advise selling stocks and mutual funds when prices are dropping during bear markets. If you can just hold on from side to side thick and thin, they argue, you are likely to enjoy returns better than any other asset class over the long run.
Though, there are occasions when selling a mutual fund might be acceptable. Buy and hold is not everlastingly. Here we glance at the top eight reasons for selling a mutual fund.
1. Portfolio Rebalancing
Over time, trends in financial markets may cause asset allocations to diverge from desired settings. In other words, some mutual funds can nurture to a large proportion of the portfolio while others shrink to a smaller proportion, exposing you to a different level of risk.
To avoid these possibilities, the portfolio can be rebalanced periodically by selling units in funds that have relatively large weights and transferring the proceeds to funds that have relatively small weights. Under this rule, the time to sell equity mutual funds is when they have enjoyed high-quality gains over an extended bull market and the percentage allocated to them has drifted up too high.
2. Mutual Fund Changes or Mismanagement
Mutual funds might change in a many number of ways that can be at odds with your original reasons for buying. For an instance, a star portfolio manager could jump ship and be replaced by someone missing the same capabilities. Or there may be approach drift, which arises when a manager gradually alters his or her investing approach over time. (For more insight, check out Focus Pocus May Not Lead to Magical Returns and Must You Follow Your Fund Manager?)
Other signals to move on include an increasing trend in annual management expense ratios (MERs) or a fund that has developed large relative to the market. If the fund has developed large compared to the market, managers could have difficulty differentiating their portfolios from the market in order to earn above-market returns.
3. Investor Growth
As you gain more and more experience and you can acquire more and more wealth and hence you may outgrow mutual funds. With larger wealth comes the ability to buy enough individual stocks to achieve adequate diversification and avoid MERs. And with superior knowledge comes the confidence to do it yourself, whether it is actively picking stocks or buying and holding market indexes through exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
4. Life Cycle Changes
Although stocks historically have been the best investments to own over the long run, their instability makes them untrustworthy vehicles in the short term. While retirement, children's post-secondary educations, or some other funding requirements approach, a good idea is to shift out of stock-market funds into assets that have more certain returns, such as bonds or term deposits, whose maturities coincide with the time that the funds will be needed.
5. Mistakes
Every now and then, investors' due diligence is incomplete and they end up owning funds they otherwise would have not purchased. For an instance, the investor might discover that the fund is too impulsive for their tastes, a closet-index fund with a high MER, or invested in undesirable securities.
Portfolio errors might also have been dedicated by the investor. A frequent mistake is over-diversifying with too many funds, which can be difficult to keep tabs on and can tend to average out to market performance (less fund fees).
Another common misstep is to puzzle owning a large number of funds with diversification. A large number of funds will not smooth out fluctuations if they tend to move in the same direction. What's desirable is a collection of funds, of which some can be expected to be up when others are down.
6. Valuation
Shift out of mutual funds to rebalance your fixed portfolio allocations by using a stretchy or opportunistic approach. A common valuation benchmark is the price-earnings ratio (P/E ratio); for U.S. stocks, it has averaged 14 to 15 over time, so if it rises to 24 to 26, valuations are overextended and the risk of a downturn is prominent.
7. Something Better Comes Along
Selling on every occasion something better came along. In the mutual fund territory, some funds can come onto the market with innovations that are better at doing what your fund is doing. Or, over time, it may become obvious other portfolio managers are performing better against the same benchmarks.
8. Tax Reduction
Mutual funds held in taxable accounts might be down significantly from their purchase price. They can be sold to understand capital losses that are used to offset taxable capital gains and thus lower taxes.
If the sale was exclusively to realize a capital loss for taxation purposes, the investor will want to re-establish the position after the 30-day period necessary to avoid the superficial-loss rule. The investor might take a possibility that the price will be the same, lower or might choose to hold a proxy for the fund's price movement.
Tax-loss selling tends to take place during August to late December. That's also the era when many funds have anticipated the capital gains and income they will be distributing to investors at year end. These amounts are taxable in the hands of the investor, so a supplementary reason to sell a losing fund from the tax point of view may be to avoid a large year-end distribution that would entail paying additional taxes.

Use Functor for Callbacks in C++
Using the callback function in C is pretty straightforward, but in C++ it becomes little tricky.
If you want to use a member function as a callback function, then the member function needs to be associated with an object of the class before it can be called. In this case, you can use functor.
Suppose you need to use the member function get() of the class base as a callback function
class base
 int get ()
 { return 7;}
Then, you need to define a functor:
class CallbackFunctor
 functor(const base& b):m_base(b)
 int operator() ()
 return m_base.get();
Now you can use an object of CallbackFunctor as a callback function as follows.
Define the function that needs a callback to take an argument of type CallbackFunctor:
void call (CallbackFunctor& f)
 cout << f() << endl;
int main ()
 base b;
 functor f(b);

Application of aqueous primary cholesterol standards for enzymatic assay of cholesterol
Article (Published version)
MetadataShow full item record
Cholesterol standards prepared as aqueous solutions with Triton X-100 are applied to cholesterol determination by enzymatic test-reagents of Radonja-SDK and Behring, based on the CHOD-PAP method. The measured absorbances at 500 nm plotted against the concentrations of cholesterol standards gave calibration curves with the equations: Y(x) = 0.007235 + 0.066450x, r = 0.99991 for SDK and Y(x) = 0.001348 + 0.063463x, r = 0.99968 for the Behring test. The accuracy of cholesterol content determination in each standard is evaluated by comparison of specified standard concentrations (X) against the values calculated by factor 14.7 (N(x) = 0.19396 + 0.95865x, r = 0.99992) and 15.1 (N(x) = 0.019396 + 0.95865x, r = 0.99968) for the SKD and Behring tests, respectively. The comparison of cholesterol values in 40 different sera calculated via calibration curves and by corresponding factor showed a high correlation (r ≥ 0.999). The standards used as a sample gave a high precision of assay (KV ≤ 3.25%...). The aqueous cholesterol standards were stable for 5 months at +4°C.

Question: How Do You Use UPI?
Is UPI pin same for all bank account?
Is debit card necessary for UPI?
What is UPI and how do you use it?
UPI is a bank account linked instant payment system. It enables you to transact money between two bank accounts. If you have a bank account with UPI-enabled member bank and a mobile phone, you can start using UPI. But before that you need to download the UPI-enabled app.
What is the function of UPI?
UPI or Unified Payments Interface is an immediate real-time payment system that helps in instantly transferring the funds between the two bank accounts through a mobile platform. Hence, UPI is a concept that allows multiple bank accounts to get into a single mobile application.
How do I use UPI ID?
You can make direct bank payments to anyone on UPI using their UPI ID or scanning their QR with the BHIM app. You can also request money through the app from a UPI ID. Send money by entering UPI ID, account number, aadhaar or by scanning a QR. Request money from other UPI users by entering their UPI ID.

Real estate market niche
This is the last in a three-part series about supercharging your real estate business with a marketing niche. Part I of the series discusses how selecting a niche helps you to grow your business. Part II explained how to identify potential niches. This final entry will help you evaluate a real estate market niche choose one that will work for you.
If you do a search on the internet, you'll find a wealth of information on how to determine the value of a market. The approach described below is a common sense way to evaluate a real estate market niche that doesn't require hiring a marketing agency to complete a six-month study.
Evaluate Your Niches' Potential
The first thing you need to do is evaluate the potential for each real estate market niche you identified.
 1. Identify the activity in the niche for the past year or two.
Naturally, the more information you have, the better your evaluation will be. Therefore, get as much information as you can. You'll need to pull information from your MLS and other resources, so first determine how you can identify the niche.
You'll need to use criteria that you can pull from the MLS as a start. For example, determine if you can use zip codes or subdivision names to describe your niche. In addition, think of the other fields you can use to filter transactions. For example, there may be a field agents use to identify the listing as an historical home or a waterfront property.
Make a chart, and for each transaction in the niche, identify:
 - The transaction – perhaps by address
 - The dollar value of the transaction
 - The agents involved in the transaction
 1. Determine if the niche is large enough to support you.
Total up the dollar value of the transactions in the niche. Then, ask yourself: "What if I could capture 5, 10 or 20 percent of the market? Would that allow me to reach my income goals?"
If the answer is that you'd need 50 or 75 percent of the market, you either need the capital required to keep going until you reach that goal, or you need to choose a more active niche.
 1. Real estate market nicheEvaluate your competition.
Look at the chart and sort it according to agent name, and calculate how much of the real estate market niche each agent has captured. For example, if there were 500 transactions and one agent did 10 transactions, that agent would have 2 percent of the market.
Look for trends. Does one agent have a large part of the market? Are there five agents that do the bulk of the transactions, then it falls off to a number of also-ran agents? If one agent has 90 percent of the market, you'd need have much more to offer to break in to that niche. But, let's assume that there are five agents that share the bulk of the transactions.
Your next step would be to research those agents. If you know some of them already, you've got a head start, but you'll still need to do some research.
 - Look at their websites. Do they promote themselves as experts in the niche you're evaluating?
 - What does their website tell you about how they brand themselves and how they sell their services?
 - Look at review websites like Facebook, Zillow and Trulia. Do they have a five star rating on those sites? What do their clients say they liked about their services.
 - Find out everything you can about each agent that would affect their strength as a competitor. Are they mid-career and picking up steam? Are they heading toward retirement? Are they brand new? How many transactions do they complete a year? Do they have any production awards?
After you've gathered information about a competitor, look for things that you do better than they do. Pay attention to any negative reviews to find out what people don't like about working with them. At that point, you should be able to make an educated guess as to how difficult it will be to break into the market.
Make a Choice and Go For It!
You can compare the information you gathered about each of your potential niches and make an informed choice to actively pursue the most promising. Once you've made that commitment, go all out. Brand yourself and your website for that niche and market to the people in that niche.
Finally, ask yourself this question: Would you rather have a small chance of getting a very small part of a huge market, or a good chance at getting a significant portion of a specialized market? When you become the go-to person in a niche, finding new clients will be a breeze – they'll come to you.

Using Java Compiler Tree API to Extract Generics Types
I was looking for some way to extract information about types of elements in Java collections/maps using generics (List, Map) so that the users of the Static JSF Expression Validator wouldn't need to declare the type of the elements manually. One possible way to get this information is to process the source codes with the Sun Compiler Tree API, available since JDK 6.
It might be best to go and check the resulting 263 lines of now. The code is little ugly, largely due to the API being ugly.
 1. JavaCompiler (Compiler API) is used to compile the source codes that should be searched for generics
 2. A custom annotation provider (Java Annotation API) is used during the compilation to process the sources
 3. The processor only delegates to a custom TreePathScanner (Sun Compiler Tree API) whose visitMethod extracts all the information from the MethodTree, using some dark magic to get fully qualified type names of the class and return type
 1. The Compiler must be able to resolve all dependencies (imports) to be able to process the files
 2. It only works with Sun JDK and its tools.jar must be on the class path (the Compiler and Annotation APIs are a part of Java specification but the Compiler Tree API is not and is thus vendor-specific)
 3. The code currently doesn't handle getters inside nested/inner classes (it would need to check that it is such a class and replace the last. with $ in the name)
You'd better check the complete (short) code at GitHub but if it's too far for you :-), here is the crucial piece:
public Object visitMethod(MethodTree methodTree, Trees trees) {
 String typeNameQualified = getEnclosingClassNameIfAvailable(trees);
 // Skip or bad stuff happens (case: inside anonymous inner class)
 if (typeNameQualified == null) {
 return super.visitMethod(methodTree, trees);
 Tree returnType = methodTree.getReturnType(); // null for void method
 if (getter(methodTree) && returnType instanceof ParameterizedTypeTree) {
 assert Tree.Kind.PARAMETERIZED_TYPE == returnType.getKind();
 ParameterizedTypeTree parametrizedReturnType = (ParameterizedTypeTree) returnType;
 TypeCategory category = detectTypeCategory(parametrizedReturnType);
 if (category.isCollectionOrMap()) {
 Tree valueTypeArgument = parametrizedReturnType.getTypeArguments().get(category.getValueTypeArgumentIdx());
 final String qualifiedGenericTypeName = getQualifiedType(valueTypeArgument);
 String methodJsfName = getMethodJsfName(methodTree);
 System.out.println("FOUND " + typeNameQualified + "." + methodJsfName + ".*=" + qualifiedGenericTypeName);
 // Unqualified name: ((IdentifierTree) valueTypeArgument).getName().toString();
 return super.visitMethod(methodTree, trees);
Most of the code has been copied from the article Source Code Analysis Using Java 6 APIs by Seema Richard (4/2008).
It's possible to use the Java Compiler Tree API to get the desired information but it is not exactly easy because the API os overly complex and undocumented. It would likely be better to use some decent open-source Java parser.

7 Effective Ways to Increase Participation at Your Events
By Guest Author
The Top News & Research in your Inbox
Want to improve learning, connection, engagement, and action outcomes at your meetings? Then use a process that requires and supports purposeful participant activity!
EMB_image_7 Effective Ways to increase partecipation at your event
When people are actively involved in their learning they learn more, and retain what they learn longer and more accurately.
And when you eliminate attendees by turning them into participants in your meeting sessions, they connect more effectively with their peers, at a much higher rate than at conventional events.
Making this happen at your meetings isn't rocket science. Here are seven simple and effective ways to increase participation at your events.
1. Badge It!
Who'd have thought that the humble name badge could provide useful information that can spark connections and engagement between attendees who are just walking around? Here's how to do it.
Use large name badges (I like 4" x 6" vertical badges) and design them so there's space for attendees to write on them. Then add a "Talk to me about…" space, or an "I'd like to know about…" space, or an "All we need is…" on your badge. Voila! Attendees now have a way to broadcast their interests and expertise and an excuse to peer at each other's badges.
A slightly different approach is to have people write a specific area of interest on their badge (perhaps on the back if it's blank) and then walk around and cluster with other attendees who share the same interest.
2. Seat Swap
To increase conversational partners at seated meals, simply announce a seat swap between two courses (typically between the main course and dessert). If the group includes approximately equal numbers of men and women, ask all the men or all the women to stand up and choose a chair at another table.
Alternatively, have everybody move whose last name begins with a letter in the first half of the alphabet. All will double their pool of conversational partners at the cost of perhaps a couple of minutes' rearrangement. At a seated buffet-style meal you can have more than one seat swap, with a commensurate increase in potential connections.
3. Post It!
At the start of a conference session, hand out several sticky notes and a pen to attendees. Ask them to write down one or more topics they would like explored or questions they would like answered, one per note. Tell them they do not need to use all their notes. Supply a wall area where notes can be posted, and ask them, once they have finished, to post their notes on the wall.
Give participants a few minutes to write their responses. As the notes are posted it is natural for people to hang around the wall and read what others have written. Let them do this, but ask people to allow late posters to get to the wall.
As the notes are posted, cluster them in groupings of similar topics. Once all the notes are on the wall, provide some time for everyone to take in the topics and questions. This group sharing can then be used as a starting point for discussion techniques like the fishbowls described below.
4. Body voting
Body voting—also called human graphs, human spectrograms, or continuum voting—is one of the most versatile participative techniques. It provides an information-rich public tableau of opinions or personal information by asking participants to move to a place in the room that corresponds to their responses to questions with a range of possible answers. Body voting allows session presenters, the group, and participants to directly experience the range and distribution of responses, and then explore individual responses or group outcomes as appropriate.
Although I can't do justice to the full range of possibilities of body voting in this article, here are a couple of ways I like to use it.
To demonstrate the collective amount of experience in the room, ask people to think of the number of years of experience they have and then have them line up across the room in order by their number of years of experience. Ask a few of those at the high experience end to say how many years' experience they have and repeat their answers for the whole group. Then, walk to the middle of the line (i.e., the point where there are approximately equal numbers of participants on either side of you) and ask the people there how many years' experience they have. Multiply their answer by the number of participants and announce the number of collective person-years of experience in the room, which will invariably be far greater than any one or two people could possess.
To allow participants to quickly meet other attendees who live or work near them, create in advance a map of the geographical region that includes a majority of attendees' locations, and display it in the room. Stand facing the map and point out the compass directions (e.g. "towards the map is North".) Ask people to move to the spot in the room that corresponds to where they live/work. Once people are in position, have them introduce themselves to the people nearby, exchange business cards, etc.
5. Fishbowls
Ever been at a "discussion" session that was monopolized by a few talkative individuals, with no one else getting a word in? Me too!
A fishbowl encourages free-wheeling discussion that anyone can join without having to get the attention of a moderator or talk over a noisy interrupter. In one version, participants sit in a horseshoe arrangement of chairs, with a few chairs in the "mouth" of the horseshoe, as shown.
A facilitator sits in one of the mouth's chairs and explains the fishbowl rules:
- If you want to talk, you must come and sit in one of the small group of chairs.
- If all the small group chairs are full and no one has yet spoken, wait a little—otherwise, when you come up, someone sitting in a mouth chair must go back to a horseshoe chair.
- If you're sitting in a small group chair and have finished what you have to say, go back to a horseshoe chair.
- When you're in a small group chair, you can address your comments to someone else in these chairs or to the whole group.
When the facilitator gently enforces these rules, everyone has a chance to speak, discuss, and be heard. Participants appreciate how the small group format focuses the discussion, how the contributors change as needed, how simply the front row shows who may talk, and how it's clear when the conversation on a topic has run its course.
6. Pair Share
Instead of one person talking and everyone else listening during a meeting session, use a few minutes of pair share to give every participant the opportunity to engage by thinking, talking, and listening. Pose a discussion question, have attendees pair up, and give everyone 30-60 seconds to think about their response. Then ask everyone to spend a couple of minutes discussing their answers with their partners. You may want to have one person in each pair start, and have them swap roles half way through the time you've allocated.
7. Pecha Kucha and Ignite
Pecha Kucha and Ignite are dynamic short-form presentations that limit presenters to 20 slides automatically advanced, each shown for 20 seconds (Pecha Kucha) or 15 seconds (Ignite), while the presenter shares his or her passion about a topic. Because each presentation lasts just 6 minutes and 40 seconds (Pecha Kucha) or 5 minutes (Ignite), presenters are challenged to be concise, targeted, and creative—and you can pack four Pecha Kucha or five Ignite presentations into 30 minutes. While these presentation styles are entertaining and a lot of fun, their impact is maximized when they are immediately followed by small breakout discussion sessions with the presenters. The combination reinforces participant learning, as attendees follow up and explore the ideas presented.
In Conclusion
There's no excuse for inflicting lectures on your attendees any more. Incorporating any or all of the above participation techniques into your meeting sessions is a sure fire way to increase learning, connection, engagement, and action outcomes at your events!

Series GWL Guided Wave Radar Transmitter
Product Announcement from Dwyer Instruments, Inc.
The Series GWL Guided Wave Radar Transmitter for Liquids is a level transmitter providing continuous level indication of liquids. The sensor can output level indication as a continuous measurement reading through its 4 to 20 mA analog output, or it can alter that information into freely adjustable (NC) switching output signals. State-of-the-art Time Domain Reflectometry technology in this transmitter makes for excellent accuracy and stability. Suppression of disturbance signals allows the GWL to measure precisely even when operating close to interfering structures. This series is available with either a rigid or flexible probe depending on the application installation required, as well as a custom probe length. One of the GWL characteristics is virtually no installation restrictions making it ideal for small tanks, tall and narrow nozzles, and various other types of processing and storage applications. The guided wave radar transmitter for liquids features exceptional performance in liquids with low reflectivity such as oils and hydrocarbons, and factory settings can be configured via HART® Communication protocol.
METHOD OF OPERATION
The GWL senses low-energy, high-frequency electromagnetic impulses, produced by the sensor which are transmitted along the probe immersed in the fluid to be measured. When these impulses hit the surface of the liquid, part of the impulse energy is reflected back up the probe to the senor which then utilizes the time difference between the impulses sent and the impulses reflected to determine the fluid level.

We have a number 'Alert' scenarios where we want to send out user alerts, and also retain the body of a message (or part thereof) for resubmission, to replay the orchestration once appropriate remedial action has been taken. I thought we could be clever, and define an envelope schema that would contain details of the alert, in human-readable form, together with an element that could contain the message, for resubmission. By defining the parent of this element as the BodyXPath of the envelope, the alert message itself could be resubmitted, at which point the inner message would be stripped out and re-processed.
+ - Message
+ - Resubmit
+ -
It was the first time I'd used the Mass Copy functoid, and was annoyed to find that it copies the children and attributes of the node selected, rather than the node itself - meaning that you lose the root node name if it isn't already in the output schema. The xsl generated is thus:
(where the element is the parent of the , and our body xpath node.)
This didn't work for us, as we needed the name of the root element copied over, so I replaced the Mass Copy functoid with a Scripting functoid, selected Inline XSLT as the script type, and used the following:
I'm surprised that there isn't a property of the Mass Copy functoid that allows you to do this, as it seems relatively obvious (and easy to implement). Has anyone else had to do this?

The denitrifier method to determine the dual isotopic composition (??15N and??18O) of nitrate is well suited for studies of nitrogen contributions to streams during runoff events. This method requires only 70 nmol of NO3- and enables high throughput of samples. We studied nitrate sources to a headwater stream during snowmelt by generating a high-temporal resolution dataset at the Sleepers River Research Watershed in Vermont, USA. In the earliest phase of runoff, stream NO3- concentrations were highest and stream discharge, NO3- concentrations, and??18O of NO 3- generally tracked one another during diurnal melting. The isotopic composition of stream NO3- varied in-between atmospheric and groundwater NO 3- end members indicating a direct contribution of atmospherically-derived NO3- from the snow pack to the stream. During the middle to late phases of snowmelt, the source shifted toward soil NO3- entering the stream via shallow subsurface flow paths. Copyright 2004 by the American Geophysical Union.

About form two National Assessment examination tanzania
The Form Two National Assessment examination is conducted every year in Tanzania. It is a key step in advancing students' reading and writing skills and also covers their knowledge of other subjects like Basic mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, History, English, Kiswahili, Civics, Biology, And other subjects
The National Examinations Council of Tanzania (NECTA) is a Government Institution which was established by the Parliamentary Act No. 21 of 1973. NECTA is responsible for the administration of all National Examinations in Tanzania.
The decision to establish NECTA was a follow-up of an earlier move, in April 1971, when Tanzania Mainland pulled out of the East African Examinations Council (EAEC) to conduct her own examinations. Zanzibar pulled out of EAEC in 1970. Before the pull out, between 1968 and 1971, Tanzania sat for foreign Secondary School Examinations conducted jointly by the East African Syndicate, which before then were conducted by the Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate alone. The Examinations conducted by the Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate then were the School Certificate and the Higher School Certificate Examinations. The School Certificate Examinations was taken by the African Students for the first time in 1947 and that of the Higher School Certificate in 1960.
Summary of NECTA's History
After Tanzania Mainland had pulled out of the East African Examinations Council, in 1971 and before NECTA was established by Law, in 1973, the Curriculum and Examinations Section of the Ministry of Education was responsible for all examinations. With the establishment of NECTA, the Examinations became its responsibility in accordance with the law. The Curriculum continued to be under the Ministry of Education and the University College, Tanga until when it was taken over by the newly established, autonomous Institute of Curriculum Development (ICD) in 1975, which in 1993 was renamed as the Tanzania Institute of Education (TIE).
Between 1972 and 1976 the first staff of NECTA were recruited, among them was Mr. P. P Gandye who was recruited in 1972 and later on in 1994 was appointed as Executive Secretary. The other staff members continued to be recruited and especially so when NECTA's premises moved from the Ministry of Education Headquarters to the present premises at Kijitonyama near Mwenge. Presently the number of NECTA's staff is more than 250.

Background and Challenges
Having a solution that is able to view and control the oil well and oil field in real time has been a challenge for the rig and refinery company. Because oil well and oil field are widespread in large coverage, and problems of drilling oil caused by harsh environment, system shutdown and human error sometimes make oil production halt, which affects the output and also bring trouble for management.
System Requirements
BIVOCOM recommends a wireless monitor and control solution, which uses wireless, intelligent and automation technology to cover all the oil well and oil field, reduce the risk of problems caused by human error, monitor the weather and system in real time, to promote the output and reduce consumption. The system includes 1. Data collection system To collect data of pressure, current, voltage, temperature, etc. 2. Data transmission BIVOCOM TD210 DTU Series, to transfer the data to center through 4G/3G/CDMA/GPRS cellular network. 3. Data center Data storage and process, remote control the system, etc.
1. Auto check and display data of current, voltage, temperature, etc.
2. Wireless remote monitor and automation, cost-saving.
3. Data auto transferred and report, real time monitor and alert, reduce incident.
4. Able to manage and monitor one oil field or multi oil fields in unified.

We know Muggle parents can have a magical child, but could magical parents have a Muggle child?
Depends what you mean by 'Muggle'.
A Squib is a person with no magical powers born to magical parents. They fall somewhere in between a wizard and a Muggle: while unable to actually perform magic, they can still access the magical world. From the Pottermore fact file:
Humans with little or no magical talent born into wizarding families, who are looked down on by the wizarding world
Appearance: Usually dressed like the rest of wizard-kind
Magic Abilities: Able to access the wizarding world, unlike Muggles, and can use certain magical objects and creatures
We even see a couple of these in the main HP stories: Argus Filch, the unpleasant janitor of Hogwarts, and Arabella Figg, the cat-loving neighbour of the Dursleys. But according to Ron, they're not very common:
A Squib is someone who was born into a wizarding family but hasn't got any magic powers. Kind of the opposite of Muggle-born wizards, but Squibs are quite unusual.
-- Ron Weasley, HP and the Chamber of Secrets

National Library of Medicine: Native Voices
LocationNational Library of Medicine, NIH Campus, Bethesda, MD
Located on the same campus as the National Institutes of Health, where scientists conduct cutting-edge medical research, this gallery takes a different path to promote the same mission. The Native Voices gallery celebrates the story of Native Peoples' concepts of health and healing with a chorus of voices, coming from Native Americans, Native Alaskans, and Native Hawaiians, sharing perspectives on traditional beliefs and practices. As visitors journey through the exhibit, they will encounter interactive kiosks with content-rich timelines, dynamic visualizations with a montage of archival images, and touchscreen towers packed with oral history videos. Nature, community, and spirit are interconnected with Native ideas of health—this exhibit borrows from such traditional motifs to share the enduring wisdom of Native medicine.© 2013 Second Story, Inc.
