From the flat earth to the sun's chariot traditional spiritual texts seem wedded to outmoded cosmologies that show, at best, the scientific limitations of their authors. The Bhagavata Purana, one of the classical scriptures of Hinduism, seems, at first glance, to be no exception. However, a closer examination of this text reveals unexpected depths of knowledge in ancient cosmology. This shows that the cosmology of the Bhagavata Purana is a sophisticated system, with multiple levels of meaning that encode at least four different astronomical, geographical, and spiritual world models. By viewing the text in the light of modern astronomy, Richard Thompson shows how ancient scientists expressed exact knowledge in apparently mythological terms. Comparison with the ancient traditions of Egypt and the Near East shows early cultural connections between India and these regions including a surprisingly advanced science. However, quantitative science is only part of the picture. This work also offers a clear understanding of how the spiritual dimension was integrated into ancient Indian cosmology.

|Active:||16th century - 22nd century|
|Crew complement:||Could be operated by a single individual|
|Speed:||Warp-capable via tachyon eddies|
A Bajoran lightship was a type of early Bajoran spacegoing vessel that utilized solar sail-powered space flight. These vessels were used by the Bajorans as early as the 16th century, at a time prior to the Fall of their First Republic. (DS9: "Explorers")
Bajorans first traveled from Bajor to Cardassia, and established First Contact between the two worlds. For many years the Cardassians disputed this claim, referring to it as a "Bajoran fairy tale," because they refused to admit that the Bajorans had achieved interstellar flight before they had. However, Captain Benjamin Sisko and his son, Jake, inadvertently proved that the voyage was possible when they arrived in Cardassian space in a similar lightship. By a proclaimed remarkable coincidence, which Captain Sisko strongly doubted, the Cardassians announced that they found the remains of an ancient Bajoran lightship on Cardassia, thereby proving such an interstellar voyage was made. (DS9: "Explorers")
Although lightships weren't capable of achieving warp speeds by design, a semi-controlled warp jump was possible if particles that were moving faster than light, for example tachyons, were to collide with the sails. However because the ship wasn't designed to endure the stress of warp speeds, it could be severely damaged as a result. It was thanks to such an uncontrolled warp jump that the ancient Bajorans were able to bypass the Denorios belt and reach the Cardassian system before they crashed on Cardassia Prime. (DS9: "Explorers")
Ships of the class Edit
Background Information Edit
Illustrator Jim Martin described the idea behind the lightship's design as a "Bajoran turtle with gossamer wings." (Sailing Through the Stars: A Special Look at "Explorers", DS9 Season 3 DVD, Special Features)
Production designer Herman Zimmerman, illustrator Jim Martin and set designer Scott Herbertson envisioned the Siskos as "sailors in space" and intentionally made the set of the lightship similar to a sailing boat. Writer René Echevarria even told Zimmerman and Martin that he wanted the ship to have a "Jules Verne look, a wooden cabin outfitted with brass." Indeed, some real sailing equipment can be seen in the background at various points. Both Martin and Zimmerman count the lightship among their favorites to work on from a design point of view, and Zimmerman mentions it in the Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Special Edition DVD special feature "Herman Zimmerman: A Tribute". They also both discuss how much they enjoyed the project in "Sailing Through the Stars: A Special Look at "Explorers"", a featurette on the DS9 Season 3 DVD.
The design of the lightship itself was inspired by the Kon-Tiki, a deliberately primitive sailing craft that Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl used to sail from Peru to Tahiti in 1947, substantiating his belief that it was possible that a Pre-Columbian South American civilization could have settled Polynesia by making a trans-oceanic voyage.
As Jim Martin explains, in reality, a solar sail would need to be several miles wide to propel a ship like this. As such, "We needed to take it into the realm of fantasy. But that was a very whimsical idea, and we could be very whimsical with it, and do something that was kind of in a fun fantasy vein." (Sailing Through the Stars: A Special Look at "Explorers", DS9 Season 3 DVD special features)
- John Knoll at Industrial Light & Magic rendered the lightship as a CGI model. (Star Trek Encyclopedia 2nd ed., p. 30) He later used the model for Akorem Laan's ship in "Accession".
- At its 1995 convention, the Space Frontier Foundation recognized this episode for exemplifying "the most imaginative use of a vehicle to travel in space," and awarded the episode the "Best Vision of the Future" award. The award was presented by Robert Staehle, the world's foremost expert on solar sails.
- Most shots of the lightship are from the aft (rear) because, being powered by solar "currents", the ship always has its back to the Bajoran sun.
- A model of the lightship was released by Galoob as part of their Star Trek Micro Machines collection.

Elizabeth Colorado Community Information
The town of Elizabeth Colorado began in 1855 as a saw mill camp operated by the Weber Brothers along the bank of Running Creek. A few years later, in 1858, gold was discovered in the creek. There was a gold rush, but the quality and quantity of the gold never lead to a boom. However, settlers did steadily move in, to work the land. After the original camp site was flooded, the town was moved to its present location.
Today, Elizabeth Colorado means small town, horse properties, pine trees and wide open prairies. Properties can range in price from the low $200,000 up to multi-million dollar agricultural properties. Real estate values tend to stay fairly level although proximity to Denver tends to increase value.


Identity Resolution Use-Cases
The Personas Identity Resolution feature helps to create a unified view of the user across devices, apps, and unique identifiers. Identity resolution is critical to understanding the customer journey at multiple touch points, which allows brands to deliver personalized experiences to its customers at scale.
Anonymous to Known Identification
Identity Resolution allows a company to link a customer's journey from pre-account creation to post-account activity. This is important to help a brand understand the behaviors that lead a user to convert from a window shopper in the discovery stage to a buyer with intent in the consideration and decision stage to the loyal return customer in the conversion and retention stage.
By linking any anonymous events a user had before creating an account to a user's logged-in activity, a marketing team can now have a complete understanding of a user's past interactions with your app.
This can lead to invaluable insights around the behaviors and triggers in an app that motivate a user to register for an account.
Cross-Device Identification
Users can have multiple touch points with an app ecosystem through more than one device. For example, users might view an eCommerce site through a mobile native app, a mobile web browser or a desktop web browser.
By tracking a user's activity across all platforms, brands will be able to more efficiently target campaigns to users as they'll have the knowledge of funnels that complete across devices.
For example, a user who adds a product to a cart on the iPhone app but completes the checkout on the Android app should not be targeted with abandoned cart push notifications on the iPhone app.
Cross-App Identification
A company's product ecosystem may also spread out across multiple apps.
If a company needs to understand a user's activity across all apps, we recommend connecting all sources to the same Personas space. This will give a comprehensive view of a user's activity across the entire app ecosystem.
If, however, each app should maintain its own metrics and LTV analysis, regardless of the overlap of users between apps, we recommend creating a separate Personas space per app and only connecting sources related to each app to its space. This will give a siloed view of how users interact with each individual app.
Note: Each workspace has two spaces by default. Contact your CSM to enable additional spaces.
For an eCommerce example, see here
Cross-Channel Identification
A user can interact with a brand through multiple channels and departments. A user might have touch points with a sales team, a marketing team and a customer support team throughout her customer journey. It's important for companies to have insights into these cross-functional activities to ensure they understand the complete customer experience.
For example, if a user has logged a complaint with a customer support team, the marketing team should exclude this user from an automatic follow-up email asking for her to leave a public product review on their site.

Western Australia (ALSWA) submitted that the lack of support programs available for remand prisoners and prisoners serving short sentences was a 'serious flaw' in the current system:
prisoners on remand may spend several months in custody prior to the disposition of their charges (and even up to 18 months awaiting a trial in a superior court). Depending on the circumstances, the court may impose a sentence of imprisonment and backdate the sentence to the time when the offender first went into custody. Therefore, some offenders will be released from custody at the time or very soon after the sentencing date. For others, even a short period as a sentenced prisoner precludes participation in programs. Such offenders are released into the community with no support and the risk of reoffending is therefore high.[56]
9.30 Legal Aid WA observed that few programs were available in regional prisons, and where they were available, were often not suitable for Aboriginal prisoners, who may have low levels of English and/or literacy skills.[57] Legal Aid WA also drew the ALRC's attention to the consequential and related issue of prisoners being denied parole because they had not attended suitable programs, providing a case study of a 20 year old Aboriginal man on a 22 month sentence who was unable to access programs and therefore was denied parole. This may occur where a person has been held on remand, and, due to time served, receives only a short sentence on conviction, with parole to follow shortly thereafter. However, as there were no programs available on remand, the person does not qualify for parole.[58]
9.31 Other potential flow-on effects of completing programs in prison when on a short sentence were also raised by stakeholders. For instance, prison programs were described as being 'the only tool for people in custody to demonstrate to the Department for Child Protection that they are addressing issues or concerns that the Department might have'.[59]
9.32 Legal Aid NSW submitted that a key barrier to accessing community-based drug and alcohol services for remanded prisoners is a Corrective Services NSW policy, which requires that, in order to be eligible for an assessment report for residential rehabilitation programs, a prisoner must have entered a guilty plea or be on remand awaiting a bail determination in the Supreme Court of NSW. This means, for example, that a remandee who has pleaded not guilty to an offence being heard in the District Court of NSW would be ineligible to access a residential rehabilitation program. Legal Aid NSW suggested that this policy be revised and provided some practical reform options to expand the availability of programs. For instance, it suggested the establishment of a free call service to rehabilitation providers.[60]
Female Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander offenders
9.33 The Prison to Work Report highlighted that the drivers of incarceration may be 'acute' for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander female offenders. They are likely to have experienced victimisation, sexual abuse and family violence as well as poor mental health, substance misuse, unemployment and low education.[61] The Report noted:
Despite this experience of violence and their complex needs, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women tend to access women's services and programs in prison less than non-Indigenous women, particularly those aimed at women who have dependent children.[62]
9.34 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women tend to serve short sentences or be held on remand, meaning they may be unable to access prison programs.[63] The NSW Government submission noted that 'short sentences can be problematic for women as they are often incarcerated just long enough to lose their accommodation, links to community support and can serve to complicate and disrupt their lives, resulting in relapse, reoffending and in many cases, homelessness'.[64] The Prison to Work Report stated that to 'be female, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and a prisoner is to experience a very complex disadvantage'.[65]
9.35 Even for longer term prisoners, when compared to the range and availability of options offered to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men, women's prison programs are limited.[66] Female Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners have been described as a group that is 'invisible' to policy makers.[67]
9.36 There are some programs available to female Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners. The National Family Violence Prevention Legal Service (NFVPLS) provided examples of programs delivered by their Forum members across Australia. These included:
 - Strong Women, Strong Mother (WA): delivered by Aboriginal Family Law Services in WA, the program seeks to educate participants about family violence, healthy relationships, the emotional wellbeing of children and creating stronger children for the community.
 - Dilly Bag (Victoria): delivered by the Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention and Legal Service (Victoria), this program works with Aboriginal women in prison and on community-based orders. It uses culture and cultural strength to help women recover from trauma.
 - Prison support program (Victoria): delivered by Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention and Legal Service Victoria to Aboriginal women who are survivors of violence or abuse. The program provides culturally safe and holistic support and links women into services and provides community legal education. The program is provided to women on remand and women exiting prison.[68]
9.37 Legal Aid NSW pointed to the Bolwara Transitional Centre as a model currently only available to female Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander prisoners serving longer sentences in metropolitan areas, and further identified the below programs for expansion:
 - The Miranda Project (NSW);
 - Rosa Coordinated Care (based in Nowra);
 - WEAVE creating futures justice program; and
 - Miruma residential diversionary program.[69]
9.38 Stakeholders called for better and more accessible prison programs for all female Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners.[70] For example, Legal Aid WA supported the implementation of more programs for female Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners, stating that programs should
be linked to the factors contributing to the offending behaviour, including intergenerational trauma. Programs must be culturally and gender appropriate to ensure the best response possible. It is further suggested that the programs use plain English (unless an interpreter is required) and facilitators of the programs should ideally be appropriate community representatives to promote a more engaging program e.g. a female facilitator when speaking to female victims and likewise, a male facilitator when speaking to male offenders about family violence.[71]
9.39 It has been acknowledged that female Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners require particular care, and access to appropriate services that 'acknowledge their higher levels of need and likely history of victimisation that is entwined with their offending'.[72] In 2014, the Office of the Inspector of Custodial Services of Western Australia recommended the implementation of specific strategies targeted at reducing recidivism among young female prisoners.[73]
9.40 The factors that drive 'female imprisonment and offender complexities are significantly different from male offenders'[74] Key issues in relation to prison programs for female Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander prisoners identified by stakeholders include:
 - female offenders are likely to be victims of family violence and sexual assault. Programs should acknowledge the role of family violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women's incarceration cycles.[75]
 - female offending can interact with histories of trauma and abuse. This means that prison programs that are able to successfully address these histories in a culturally competent way may be more likely to be successful in reintegration.[76]
 - many female prisoners are parents—up to 80% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in prison are mothers.[77] Female offenders often have children removed from their care, and require programs that facilitate reconnection with children upon release, such as programs that address issues around parenting capability or that model positive engagement with children.[78]

Labor Income Dynamics at Business-Cycle Frequencies: Implications for Portfolio Choice
A large recent literature has focused on multiperiod portfolio choice with labor income, and while the models are elaborate along several dimensions, they all assume that the joint distribution of shocks to labor income and asset returns is i.i.d.. Calibrating this joint distribution to U.S. data, these papers obtain three results not found empirically for U.S. households: young agents choose a higher stock allocation than old agents; young agents choose a higher stock allocation when poor than when rich; and, young agents always hold some stock. This paper asks whether allowing the conditional joint distribution to depend on the business cycle can allow the model to generate equity holdings that better match those of U.S. households, while keeping the unconditional distribution the same as in the data. Calibrating the business-cycle variation in the first two moments of labor income growth to U.S. data leads to large reductions in stock holdings by young agents with low wealth-income ratios. The reductions are so large that young, poor agents now hold less stock than both young, rich agents and old agents, and also hold no stock a large fraction of the time. Our results suggest that the predictability of labor-income growth at a business-cycle frequency plays an important role in a young agent's decision-making about her portfolio's stock holding.


difference between research proposal & research report?
Question:just narrate me the differences between research proposal and research report
Proposal: before you enjoy done it. Report: after you have done it. The first is roughly speaking convincing someone or a qualified group that your research proposal is sound (in its method, approach, knowhow of the field,etc.) and deserves financial support; the second places earlier others a brief summary of what you have found or concluded, so that they can establish if they wish to see your full research. People who complete a Ph.D. dissertation write a summary of their research, usually a page or two, which is available contained by Dissertation Abstracts in the United States, and those who option can request the dissertation from the library where it have been deposited or from University Microfilms (or doesn't matter what the current form).
only if you ask other. justf rom the question it seem to me that a propsal is where a recercher is aproching a target group e.g a charity to ask thm weather they are prepared to partake in a recerch programe and a report is where on earth a recercher had done the recaerchand the final draft is writen up next to the results?
Research proposal mechanism you are considering doing research and putting a case for it.
Research report way you have done the research and are presenting the results. Research proposal: you donate the idea something like what do you want to research, how to do it,a nd other stuffs about the research. This is until that time you're doing the research. basically informing someone roughly the research you'll be doing.
Research report: you give the result/what hold you achieved within the research. this is informing the progress of your research or the result of your reserach.
my friend who's doing research for a doctorate degree
In a research proposal, you are proposing (suggesting) what you will later report on. If agreed, then you execute the research that you proposed and write the research report. The research report is the finished product, while the research proposal is just axiom what you plan to do.
Genuine research is expensive. A research proposal is much like as a business proposal containing cost for conducting and benefits derived from the research to be done. Basically, it's the request for funding.
A research report is the end result. It will contain a summery, details, statistics, and a conclusion reach. A research proposal is the "what I am going to research and why". It represents the arguement for your chosen area, the methods you are going to use, the style you are going to validate background and why your research area is relevant. Your proposal is assessed and suggestions made by your tutor that can abet you with the actual research.
A research report is the "what I hold researched and what I have found". This is longer than the proposal and represents the arguement for your chosen research (the "why" from your proposal), the methods used and an evaluation of whether these be effective, the information gained and what this background indicates. Are there any surprises within your data - could this be a result of the methods used? After your analysis of the background, you should round off the report near a conclusion.
The main difference between the proposal and the report is the process of evaluation. After you hold done the research you are in a position to evaluate and analyse the methods you own used.
If you are going to start a research project I would advise you to start a diary immediately to log everything that happens so you can hang on to track of events. Proposal means is the accomplishment of proposing something/course of action proposed(eg. donate of marriage).Report means description,summary or reproduction of a scene,speech,directive case etc,for daily publication or broadcast.
Research proposal & research report are the different sides of a same coin,you can say commotion.
Research proposal is a preparation of some topic on which you have come to the conclusion to do some entry.
If the research is finalise and approved by authority then you will rob action and you will walk for making report.And then you will shift for actual research that is the result. Here is an example of a research proposal.

Sage Metering manufactures accurate and reliable thermal mass flow meters that measure gas mass flow. These instruments excel in many applications and provide solutions across several industries. Here is a list of the major sectors we serve.
midstream-tnMidstream Oil and Gas
Many processes are integrated into crude oil refining and natural gas processing and require the need for accurate gas measurement. Thermal mass flow meters are an excellent choice for measuring air and gas flows to various process units.
upstream-tnUpstream Oil and Gas
The upstream oil and gas sector faces challenging EPA regulations due to the growing greenhouse gas concerns. Rules governing several areas the industry need GHG emissions reduction and reporting. The regulations often require the use of vapor recovery units or combustion devices. Thermal mass flow meters measure gas to flares (or VRUs) assisting with EPA GHG Reporting requirements.
sewage-treatment-plant-tnWastewater Treatment
At wastewater treatment plants thermal mass flow meters serve in improving the efficiency of the operation. The flow meters play key roles in various stages of the process, including aeration air, digester gas as well as odor control systems.
Natural gas, oxygen, argon, and nitrogen are used steel production. Thermal mass flow meters submeter these gases for cost allocation or to study gas consumption. Additionally, since the level of the gas affects the steel quality, a thermal mass flow meter can measure the gas flow to ensure the optimum levels.

OVERVIEW: Through its Sustainable Development Program, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) supports organizations that work to advance global stewardship and climate change solutions.
IP TAKE: RBF takes a broad approach to climate change, funding a variety of approaches to this challenge. And it's not afraid to get involved in a political fight or take a few risks with its grantmaking.
PROFILE: The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, as the name suggests, was established in 1940 by several members of the Rockefeller family, which includes Nelson, Laurance, Winthrop, and David Rockefeller and John D. Rockefeller III. The fund is not affiliated in any way with either the Rockefeller Foundation or the Rockefeller Family Fund.
RBF makes climate change related grants through its Sustainable Development program, which seeks to advance "global stewardship that is ecologically based, economically sound, socially just, culturally appropriate, and consistent with intergenerational equity." To advance solutions to climate change, RBF pursues strategies that advance the green economy agenda, advocate for increased public and policymaking related to climate change, and those that campaign to reduce fossil fuel or carbon intensive energy reliance. What's notable about RBF's climate grantmaking is the range of interests pursued by the fund. Its interests include ocean acidification, more efficient buildings, the national security dimension of climate change, and the all-important big question of how capitalism must adapt to the imperative of ecology sustainability.
RBF's Sustainable Development grants range from $200,000 to $500,000. However, the fund does not make grants to a large number of climate change organizations, and the ones that do receive RBF support tend to be pretty big. To get a sense of the breadth of this funder, explore its searchable grants database.
RBF accepts grant inquiries throughout the year.

- Illumination
 Illuminate features & make defects visible
Lighting for industrial machine vision
Lighting plays a major role for industrial machine vision: Not the object itself, but only the visual image of the object is checked! It follows that only homogeneous lighting conditions result in a consistent image of the same inspection object. Fluctuating light conditions are therefore to be avoided at all costs!
Ideally, the lighting is used so that a perfect light-dark contrast is created:
Direct frontlight illumination
Direct frontlight illumination
Surface partly very bright but overexposed, partly dark due to total reflection.
Diffuse dom light illumination
Diffuse dom light illumination
Surface smoothly illuminated due to homogeneous incident light.
Dark field illumination
Dark field illumination
Lateral edges are very bright. Scratches and dust are visible.
Backlight illumination
Backlight illumination
Part appears only as black silhouette. No surface information, contures ideal for measurement applications.
Only if it is possible to visualize the desired test characteristics or errors with enough contrast, these can then be evaluated with the image processing software. Usually the object is illuminated by an external light source. This principle sounds very trivial, but the practice reveals that it is one of the main difficulties of industrial machine vision to make the error in the object visible at all for the camera.
Some examples to illustrate the difficulties
 - Imagine a transparent glass bottle, the embossed font in the bottom of which is supposed to be read. Test object and features are of the same material, and, what is more, they are transparent! The same applies to many embossed fonts on flat material surfaces.
 - A scratch on a metallic surface, too, does often not cause any further alterations but a notch which has to be detected. Again a test situation where, in spite of the identical material, an error must be detected. The same applies to embossments and mouldings in materials.
Diffuse incident light

Low angle illumination causes emphasis on the edges and instamped font
The key role plays the light with its interaction in a functional chain of illumination, test object, filter, lens and camera:
Interaction between electromagnetic radiation and objects
Interference and surface effects illumination
Major factors influencing the image
Light Inspected part
Wavelength (colour)
Direct / diffuse
polarised / unpolarised
Angle of incidence
Surface, structure
Monochrome - / colour sensor
CCD - / CMOS technology
Dynamics and sensitivity
As the object characteristics of inspected part cannot or can only hardly be influenced, the object determines the illumination and the camera! The camera, in turn, defines the optics due to its working distance and mount, due to its data format and data rate it also determines the image acquisition card.
It is therefore worthwhile to concentrate on light and its interactions with material and camera!

What distinguishes a fling that ends in tears from long-term love? Past research suggests that the most successful couples share common interests, values and personality traits. Now new research published in Psychological Science proposes that the simplest words lovebirds use to speak to each other also make a difference—both in determining how attracted they are and how likely they are to stay together.
James Pennebaker and his colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin recorded 40 men and 40 women as they participated in a speed-dating exercise in which they talked to 12 strangers of the opposite sex for four minutes apiece. Later, the subjects rated each date based on how much they seemed to have in common and whether they wanted to see the person again. Pennebaker analyzed the participants' conversations based on their use of pronouns and articles, such as "him," "the," "and," "as" and "be." These function words are used in most contexts and are processed rapidly and unconsciously. [For more on how Pennebaker uses function words to reveal personality and other traits, see "You Are What You Say," by Jan Dönges; Scientific American Mind, July/August 2009.]
The pairs who used similar types of function words with similar frequencies, he found, were more likely to want to see each other again, regardless of how much they felt they had in common. In a follow-up study, Pennebaker compared the language used by 86 couples in committed relationships via writing samples from instant messages. He found that the more their function words matched, the more likely they were to be together three months later, irrespective of how happy they said they were in their relationships at the time.
The big question is whether individuals feel more aligned to others who already talk the way they do or whether they adapt their language to match that of individuals they really like. Pennebaker admits that both are possible, but he believes the latter is the driving force: language, he says, predicts relationship success because it reflects how well couples listen to each other. What is Pennebaker's advice for living happily ever after with a loved one, then? "Pay closer attention to the other person," he says.

Lisa Tolnitch, MD, of Duke Cancer Institute answers questions about breast cancer.
Can calcifications in the breast turn into cancer?
Calcifications on mammography do not themselves turn into cancer. They can be a marker especially in certain patterns of an evolving cancer.
Worrisome features are pleomorphic calcifications (different sizes and shapes in a group), branching forms (following the branches of a milk duct), or casting calcifications. Those features usually require a biopsy under mammogram guidance with a core needle.
Mastectomy is an option for surgical treatment. If a tumor is small, less than 4 centimeters, and does not have locally advanced features such as skin involvement, a patient can have a lumpectomy with the same survival as mastectomy. Most patients are equally good candidates for both procedures.
After a lumpectomy the breast should look very similar to how it started in shape and size. There can be some loss of contour or fullness where the tumor was and after radiation, which causes some retraction. This is variable from patient to patient as everyone heals differently.
Mammography can prevent cancer deaths by picking up tumors when they are small or present at an early stage. The survival rate for women who have regular screening mammograms with a diagnosis of cancer exceeds 90 percent.
Dense breasts are at slightly more risk for cancer. In some states radiologists are required to give a density score on mammography.
In general, all women have dense breasts when they are young and most become fatty replaced with age.

When you have an identified dynamic model that describes some aspect of system behavior, you can use that model to forecast future behavior. You can identify such a dynamic model from system data. Or, if you have system data that represents the operation of your machines with time or usage, you can extract condition indicators from that data and track the behavior of the condition indicators with time or usage. You can then identify a model that describes the behavior of the condition indicator, and use that model to predict future values of a condition indicator. If you know, for example, that your system needs repair when some condition indicator exceeds some threshold, you can identify a model of the time evolution of that condition indicator. You can then propagate the model forward in time to determine how long it will be before the condition indicator reaches the threshold value.
Some functions you can use for identification of dynamic models include:
ssest — Estimate a state-space model from
time-domain input-output data or frequency-response data.
nlarx — Model nonlinear behavior using dynamic
nonlinearity estimators such as wavelet networks, tree-partitioning, and sigmoid
You can use functions like
forecast to predict the future behavior of the
identified model. The example
Condition Monitoring and Prognostics Using Vibration Signals uses this approach to
RUL estimation with state estimators such as
works in a similar way. You perform state estimation on some time-varying data, and predict
future state values to determine the time until some state value associated with failure

Why is Indian Ocean named after India?
The Indian ocean is named after India because:
- India holds a central location which is at the head of the Indian Ocean.
- India in ancient times was an important location in the Indian Ocean which connected Europe with countries of Southeast Asia.
- India also has the longest coastline in the region which no other country has in the Indian ocean

Multimedia: Research seeks to benefit couples therapy by mining social class upbringing
Associate Professor Teresa McDowell, along with a team of graduate student researchers, recently lifted the lid on a sensitive topic few, if any, professionals in the field of counseling psychology—researchers or practitioners—have ever addressed: how differences in social class can affect the health of couple relationships.
McDowell has spent much of her career working to reshape marriage and family therapy education in ways that better support social equity and cultural democracy. Her scholarship has focused on race and racism in family therapy practice and education, critical multicultural family research, and internationalizing family therapy programs. This latest research paper, "Exploring Social Class: Voices of Inter-class Couples," explores how couples with different social class upbringings have built lasting relationship.
McDowell discussed the relevance of social class research, and the unique setting of the Lewis & Clark graduate school to explore this complex counseling psychology issue.
What interested you in researching the impact of social class on couple relationships?
McDowell: Social class is typically included in contextual factors affecting individuals, couples, and families, yet there is very little family therapy research or practice literature on social class. When social class is discussed, there tends to be an assumption that all members of the family share a single social class. Social class is also typically talked about relatively only to lower and working class families. In general, social class is also not openly discussed in the U.S. due to the myths of meritocracy and a classless society. We know that social class deeply shapes the lives of individuals, couples, families, and communities, and have therefore begun researching and talking about it in the literature we are producing.
The interest in social class differences within couple relationships stems from multiple conversations among the first two authors about cultural similarities and differences in marrying across lines in the dominant culture in the U.S. and the dominant culture in Peru. Both first authors also have personal experience that relates to this topic.
Why is this research important to the field of marriage and couple family therapy?
McDowell: We hope to open space for family therapists to begin addressing within-family social class differences and to shed light on the influence of the "invisible" dynamics around class.
Where might this research lead you next? What other questions does it spur?
McDowell: There are many areas related to social class that need to be explored, including:
- Classism and internalized classism among family therapists
- Dismantling classism/internalized classism via family therapy education
- The role family therapists can play in raising social awareness within families of the dynamics of social class in liberation-based therapies, and many others
The first author and another colleague recently published an article on mapping social capital which addresses how family therapists can assist low status families through raising awareness and decision making relative to social class. The first author is currently completing a study of the experience of working and lower class students in family therapy training.
Do you think there's anything unique about this research growing out of an educational institution like Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling?
McDowell: The social justice mission of the graduate school draws faculty and student researchers who are invested in social equity. The faculty-student collaboration around these issues is therefore a fairly natural fit. Numerous people drawn together with similar goals and interests increases synergy and provides support for critical researchers who often find themselves alone in their efforts.
What has been beneficial about having students involved in the research process?
McDowell: We include students in many of our research projects. We are committed to offering them opportunities to collaborate on research and professional writing. We believe it is mutually beneficial as students help move projects forward by completing many research tasks and the faculty mentors their work and guides the effort. Faculty also lead in writing the results for publication while student experience the process of submitting manuscripts, revising, etc. firsthand.
Five graduate students participated in McDowell's latest research: Erin Althusius, Sarah Hergic, AJ Rogers, Gillian Sleeman, Nicky Ton.
Ton '10 plans to pursue a doctorate in counseling psychology while Sleeman '10 plans to counsel clients after graduation. While Ton and Sleeman will take different paths with their degrees in counseling psychology, both have taken away significant lessons from the research project.
In this audio clip, Ton discusses how her participation in this research project inspired her to think about her own experience with social class difference.
In this audio clip, Sleeman addresses the challenges couples from different social classes face and how Lewis & Clark's efforts to improve cross-cultural understanding is preparing her for work in counseling.


and other things. I won't go over those here. I will simply tell you what to pick and what to do. Saves a lot of reading. Some things to remember 1) Always heal by resting if possible. 1 hours rest in a bed will heal all your wounds. Save your healing Stims for emergencies. 2) Early on use melee weapons and save ammo. Save the ammo for the harder foes. Most weaker enemies can be beaten with melee weapons easy. 3) Save often. FALLOUT NEW VEGAS has a lot of glitches, such as getting stuck in objects, lockups, etc. SAVE OFTEN. 4) Do not use any of the permenant skill books until you get the level 6 Comprehension perk which gives you +1 skill per book. A must have. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- III. WALKTHROUGH! WALKTHROUGH! WALKTHROUGH! WALKTHROUGH! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ====================================== I. GOODSPRINGS (Prologue) ====================================== You start the game by watching the Intro. You've been shot in the head and left for dead. You wake up in Doc Mitchells' clinic. This starts [AIN'T THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD] quest. ) Awaken to have Doc ask your name and check your face. You can put in your character name and face description here. Afterwards follow the Doc to the Vit-O-matic where you can pick your stats. For the starting area of Goodsprings take the following stats, you will be able to re-do your character when you leave the starting Goodspring area. STRENGTH: 4 PERCEPTION: 6 ENDURANCE: 5 CHARISMA: 10 INTELLIGENCE: 10 AGILITY: 4 LUCK: 1 ) Now follow the Doc to his couch. Sitting on it, he will give you a quick test of questions. Just answer the first one each time, afterwards you can reset and manually pick your 3 TAG skills. Pick [BARTER, SPEECH, and SCIENCE]. You will then pick your 2 traits, take [GOOD NATURED] and [KAMIKAZE]. ) Go over to the door with DOC MITCHELL and talk to him, he will give you some items and your [PIPBOY]. You are done with him for now. Head back to the medic room where you woke up and click on the [CHEMIST SET] on the table and choose to get 5 [STIMPACKS]. Now click on the [BROKEN 9MM MACHINE GUN] and repair it. Open the [SASPARILLA CRATE] and loot it. You will be using this crate to store any items until you get your hotel room later. Until then this will do fine for storing items. Loot the clinic dry, and store your extra stuff in the crate. Talking to the Doc will get you needed info, plus pass a speech check [SPEECH:30] to get 3 [STIMPACKS]. ) Exit the hospital clinic, go straight left down the road and enter the Saloon. You'll encounter SUNNY. Talk to her and get some town info but save the first option for last. You will get a lockpick book and info on picking a safe in the school house later. When finished pick the first option and start the [BACK IN THE SADDLE] quest series. Follow SUNNY outside and around to the back of the Saloon. Approaching her, she will hand you a [VARMIT RIFLE] and some ammo. Kneel and shoot 3 of the bottles off the fence. ) SUNNY will want you to continue and help her clear some Geckos from the water well. Follow her until she stops and tells you to sneak left up to the well to kill the Geckos. Run up and shoot or punch them dead. The wells have clear non-radioactive water so drink up to heal any damage. Report back to SUNNY who will want you to clear the other 2 wells. Agree then follow her and kill the Geckos at the 2nd well, then head left down the hill to the 3rd well, where the Geckos are attacking a Goodspring settler. Save her, and talk to her afterwards to get 3 [PURIFIED WATER]. Talk to SUNNY again for a reward and to finish the [BACK IN THE SADDLE] quest, and to start the [BY A CAMPFIRE ON THE TRAIL] quest. ) Fast travel back to GOODSPRINGS and enter the general store. Talk to CHET and ask about various topics to get info. Buy a shovel. Head outside then northeast up the big hill towards the water tower/graveyard. On the way you'll probably encounter a BARK SCORPION. Kill it and continue to the top, and kill the BLOATFLIES that are up there. Pick the [BROC FLOWER], take the [SNOW GLOBE-GOODSPRINGS] and other items that are about on the graves. Finally dig up the various graves for misc items, you want to get a couple [DISTINCTIVE CIGARETTE BUTTS] which are about near the open grave site. ) Go back to town, then head SW towards the red school building. Just outside are 2 GIANT MANTIS NYMPHS. Kill them and pick the [XANDER ROOT] bulbs just near the tree trunk. Fast travel to GOODSPRINGS SOURCE and go down and talk to SUNNY. Activate the campfire, make a [HEALING POWDER]. Fast travel back to town and enter the Saloon. You'll see an argument between TRUDY and JOE COBB. Talk to TRUDY afterwards which finishes the [BY A CAMPFIRE ON THE TRAIL] quest. Milk her for all information, talk about her broken radio, then talk about how to handle JOE COBB, and you will start the [GHOST TOWN GUNFIGHT] quest. ) Now repair the broken radio [REPAIR:20] and talk to TRUDY for a reward. [BARTER:20] for some extra caps. You'll level up. Raise EXPLOSIVES to 25 and pick the SWIFT LEARNER perk. Head outside, and go to the SE building where you will find JOE COBB standing. Talk to him and milk him for info, but DO NOT TALK ABOUT TAKING OVER THE TOWN. Pass the speech check for some free exp. Once done talking to JOE, crouch and hide behind him and ready your 9MM MACHINE GUN (or another weapon). SAVE YOUR GAME. Now, while hidden enter V.A.T.S and shoot him in the head. If your reputation with the POWDER GANGERS drops, reload and try again. You're going to kill JOE anyway soon, might as well do it now. You should be able to kill him from stealth without any reputation change. Loot him. ) Head up to the gas station near the Medical Clinic, enter and talk to RINGO, and get info from him. Agree to help him against the GANGERS, then loot the entire gas station, making sure to pick the safe using the lockpick book that SUNNY gave you. Return to the Saloon and talk to SUNNY who will open options to get town support for the [GHOST TOWN GUNFIGHT] quest. Talk to TRUDY and pass [SPEECH:25] check for supplies. Go outside and talk to EASY PETE pass [EXPLOSIVES:25] check for dynamite. Head into the supply store and talk to CHET pass [BARTER:25] check for fighting supplies, and finally up to DOC MITCHELL for medical supplies. Return to TRUDY she should talk about JOE COBB and give you some exp (strange she doesn't talk about this earlier). ) Your all ready for the final showdown. Get what ever weapons and items you want and head up to the gas station and talk to RINGO to let him know the town is ready. Start the fight, SUNNY shows up and says the Gangers are on the way. Go outside and run down to the Saloon area, the POWDER GANGERS are heading up the road. NOTE: You can fight this battle any way you want, its not super hard, but there is a catch. If you kill any of the Gangers your reputation with them will drop all the way. We want it to only drop a little, so when you enter the fight, don't kill any of them, let the townspeople do it. You want to distract them. Equip a basic weapon (laser pistol, 9MM, etc) and run directly into their group. Attack them lowering their health but do not kill them yourself. Keep to the left so the townspeople have open shots. Switch foes, wounding them down to low health, they don't do any major damage to you, so just be the "big target". Afterwards, you'll level up again. Raise LOCKPICK to 25 and BARTER to 48. Ringo will come up and give you some caps as a reward. ) OK! Your basically done in GOODSPRINGS. Time to finish up the Prologue so we can head out into the wasteland. Start in the south of town, a house there holds a [CHINESE ARMY TRAINING MANUAL] on

Do you know Big Joe? Here are some fun facts about our most famous resident:
- For many years, Big Joe—just over 15 feet long and weighing a whopping 1,200 pounds—was the biggest American Crocodile in captivity in Florida. When he died in 2003 at 75, people said it was because he'd had too much of the "good life"—too much food and not enough exercise to get it.
- Big Joe was caught by fishermen off Key Largo in 1936 and was about 5 years old at the time. Word has it that Lester Piper would pay fishermen for crocodiles, so they brought him here.
- The Pipers stuffed Big Joe and put him on display under glass, where he remained until 2013 when he was put into storage. Big Joe returned home to the Everglades Wonder Gardens on September 11, 2015.
- Big Joe's original enclosure was right outside the door leading to the gardens, on the right. Today this space is a beautiful koi pond.
- Big Joe was not picky about what he ate: chicken, fish, or beef.
- Other notably large gators and crocs that lived here were Psycho, Crusher, Iron Head, Old Man, and Big Joe 2.
- A croc's nostrils close when submerged in water, and they have a special flap in their throats to keep out water. They can't stick out their tongues.
- Crocs are semi-aquatic and prefer saltwater habitats. They have webbed feet.
- Males grow larger than females. Each of their 80 teeth can be replaced up to 50 times during their lifetimes.

A simple, cost-effective and portable device, shaped like a torpedo, has been successful in detecting SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater in Victoria and is now being rolled out overseas.
Dubbed the Torpedo Passive Sampler and the 'sewage submarine', it was developed by researchers at Monash University's Department of Civil Engineering, in partnership with a consortium of universities and industry locally and internationally.
The sampler is constructed of cotton buds, medical gauze swabs and lab grade electronegative membranes encased in a narrow, 3D-printed shell, and can detect the coronavirus on an individual lot or in a suburb or city.
Lead researcher David McCarthy, an Associate Professor of Engineering at Monash University, said the portability and size of the 'torpedo' means health authorities can narrow down the areas where people are likely to be shedding the virus.
"Above all, the 'torpedo' is cheap — roughly $20 each compared to more than $5000 for an automatic sampler such as HACH SD900 — easy to use, and provides more consistent results than other sampling methods," he told create.
How it works
Researchers began by developing something that looked like a little boat, but quickly realised that, because of its width, the device caught a significant amount of material in the sewage.
"It became quite clear that the shape had to be more [like a] tear drop," McCarthy said.
"Then we slowly came to the conclusion that we needed a bullet shape — one that almost acted like a torpedo in the water."
The Torpedo Passive Sampler is simply thrown into a sewer for between 24 and 48 hours and tied off using a rope that is attached to an anchor point. It then acts almost like a fishing net, absorbing traces of the SARS-COV-2 virus as it passes.
McCarthy said there is evidence it also absorbs E. coli, Bacteroides HF183, FRNA coliphages and Pepper Mild Mottle Virus.
The device is weighted so that it sinks during low flows but, during high flows, becomes resuspended in the water column. The water flows through the device by specifically designed holes at the front, which allows water to penetrate, but not too much toilet paper.
In the initial study, the passive samplers were placed across eight study sites in Victoria, from systems that collected the wastewater of 260 residents and staff near an aged care facility, to Melbourne's largest sewage treatment plant that pools wastewater from more than two million residents.
As the intellectual property is open, the 3D-printing files can be shared with governments and health professionals across the world. More than 2500 have been issued across Australia and to New Zealand, Canada, the United States and the Netherlands and, soon, Indonesia.
"There are now a lot of new ideas now about how to use passive sampling, or rather these torpedo devices," McCarthy said.
"We have begun using them to detect sewage cross connections in stormwater drains, and have recently finished a trial of detecting illegal sewage dumping into stormwater drains.
"We have also begun using them in larger creeks and rivers, to begin understanding the sources of faecal contamination in these waterways."
McCarthy the discovery is ground-breaking because it can fundamentally change the way we detect critical virus spread in the community, and help with targeted healthcare actions.
"Plus, we can also offer these solutions to communities globally that are in desperate need of cheap and easy to use methods to help curb the spread of this virus," he said.
The idea for developing passive sampling technology for monitoring COVID-19 in wastewater initially came from Melbourne Water's Dr Nicholas Crosbie, who in turn was inspired by the work of Dr Brendan Moore (inventor of the so-called 'Moore Swab' in 1948).

The reduction of water loss by means of advanced leakage control equipment is vital. In many regions water is scarce but demand is increasing with population growth. Economic and regulatory considerations are important, as are customer's expectations of a continuous supply. The development of water resources must be examined in the light of leakage reduction performance.
UTIC employs the use of the most advanced high accuracy leak noise correlators to locate the positions of leaks on all types of pipelines. UTIC Technicians are available to survey any localised area where leaks are suspected due to low pressure, low flow rates, high water bills or soil and highway subsidence.
Noise generated by the leak travels along the pipe wall, or through the water column in both directions. Electronic sensors are deployed at ends of pipe sections. The difference in arrival time of the leak noise at each sensor, coupled with knowledge of the pipe material, diameter and length, enables the leak to be pinpointed precisely.
An electronic ground microphone is used to confirm the presence and the exact position of leak by surface sounding prior to excavation and repair. The position of the water leak can be detected to a very high degree of accuracy and usually to within a half meter radius.
To undertake leakage detection a accurate plan of the reticulation network is required, often there plans are not available and have been lost over many years or are inaccurate. UTIC provides a service of network mapping where remote detection equipment is used to locate the buried pipes, Surveyors will map out the network, the water leak survey can now commence.
Once leak have been repaired, the pipe network should be monitored continuously to ensure the leakage is maintained at the minimum level.
UTIC can assist at every stage in the development of a practical leakage control programme from analysing the water distribution network, through data logging and leak detection and monitoring, to surveying pressure in the system.

How to install a certificate signed by a recognized Certificate Authority.
The Citadel system offers SSL/TLS encryption on every protocol it serves. When you initially install the system, a private key and self-signed certificate are automatically generated for you. However, you may wish to purchase a certificate signed by a recognized certificate authority. Alternatively, you may wish to have a certificate that is self-signed, but has the correct Distinguished Name (DN). If you wish to do either of these things, here are the required steps.
erase, or set aside, the existing key
The keys directory contains three files:
citadel.keythe private key
citadel.csrthe certificate signing request
citadel.certhe signed or self-signed certificate
Delete these files, or move them to another directory.
generate a private key
While inside the keys directory, run the following command:
openssl genrsa -out citadel.key 1024
Generate a Certificate Signing Request based on that key
Run the following command:
openssl req -new -key citadel.key -out citadel.csr
Answer all of the prompts accurately. Observe all of the rules followed by your certificate authority for the distinguished name (DN) of your certificate. For example, the Common Name (CN) must be equivalent to the fully qualified domain name of your server. If you live in the United States, you must also use the full name of the state that you live in, rather than its abbreviation.
Now you can order your certificate. When your certificate authority requests your certificate signing request, you simply paste in the contents of citadel.csr to send it to them.
Generate a self-signed certificate (if needed for temporary use)
Simply restarting the Citadel server at this point will automatically generate a self-signed certificate using your new key and CSR. Or, you can do it explicitly with this command:
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in citadel.csr -signkey citadel.key -out citadel.cer
Install the signed certificate
When you receive your signed certificate from the certificate authority, simply delete the citadel.cer file containing your self-signed certificate, and save your signed certificate as citadel.cer in its place. Restart the Citadel server, and you are finished.
Using the key and certificate with WebCit
WebCit contains an identical cryptography subsystem, also with a keys directory of its own. The only difference is that the three files are called webcit.key, webcit.csr, and webcit.cer instead of citadel.key, citadel.csr, and citadel.cer. The good news is that you can copy or symlink those three files from the citadel/keys directory over to the webcit/keys directory, then restart WebCit, and your new certificate will be used for HTTPS connections as well.
Problems with Citadels autogenerated Certificates
Citadel making it easy for you
Citadel brings a non interactive way to equip you with basic SSL Certificates, so you can get SSL/HTTPS up and running without any fiddling with openssls commandline tools, howtos reading and so forth.
Drawback under certain conditions
So your Client (be it the Webbrowser or the Emailclient) complains about the Servercertificate like this:
You have received an invalid certificate.
Please contact the server administrator or
email correspondent and give them the following information:
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another
certificate issued by the certificate authority.
Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number.
(Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial)
This may happen if you run more than one citadel with self created certificates.
What happened?
Citadels first time setup is designed to ask you as few questions as possible. So some "Questions" kept away from you have to be answered with default values; like the CN field for a self created Certificate Authority (CA). Now your Client is the opinion, that one CA mustn't exist twice (which is right) and barfs on you with the above error message.
So if you installed a "test" installation to find out about citadel, and now did the to be "life" installation, you'll be faced with that error.
If you don't want to replace certificates with ones from a real CA, the easiest way to work around it is WebCits feature to overload the values with yours; remove the defective certificates, and fill these environment Variables:
export O="Your Organization name"
export OU="Your Citadel Server"
export CN="*"
and restart Webcit in that shell. You can use the created certificates for CitServer too.
... where to find the certificate files
GoDaddy Certificates
By the users joy & blasto333
in citservers key directory
 1. openssl genrsa -out citadel.key 2048
 2. openssl req -new -key citadel.key -out citadel.csr
 3. in godaddy provide citadel.csr to generate ssl certifcate extension crt
 4. godaddy will send you a zip contaning 2 files extract the files
 1. One of the files is named "yourdomain" and it comes in crt format … rename the file to citadel.cer
 2. The other file is a godaddy chain in crt format… just remane the extension of this one to cer
 5. copy the 2 files to the citservers key directory

Purge obsolete data, recoup capacity and manage long-term risk
IT organizations have been stockpiling unstructured user data for decades. Massive servers of unmanaged user data, network filers and even legacy backup tapes all contain many copies of aged data that no longer has business value. Industry analysts claim that anywhere from 40-70 percent of what exists on corporate networks can be defensibly purged and no one will miss it. Not only is this content taking up valuable space, but it can also become a liability if not properly managed.
Defensible Deletion to reclaim IT budgets
Servers and user shares get clogged with redundant content, personal multimedia files and aged data. Determining what has ongoing business value and what can be deleted is complex. Therefore most organizations are hoarding and stockpiling this content and expanding their storage capacity year after year - eating away at restricted IT budgets.
Index Engines solves this challenge and reclaims capacity by creating a searchable profile of what exists and enables organizations to defensibly delete data that has outlived its business value. Most organizations can easily recoup a year's worth of storage capacity upgrades by following a few simple policies:
- Redundant Content: Index Engines finds duplicate files based on an MD5 hash of the content. This content can be reviewed and if no one is accessing it can be easily remediated from the network.
- Aged Data: Based on last accessed or modified dates, Index Engines uncovers content that no one has accessed in more than X years. This aged data may contain intellectual property that has value, so additional queries may be involved. If it is determined that this content has aged and no longer has value it can be purged.
- Abandoned Content: Leveraging the Active Directory groups of inactive users, or users who are no longer with the organizations, abandoned content can be uncovered. This is content where the owner is no longer employed. Combining this criteria with the last accessed parameters uncovers abandoned data that can be remediated.
- Personal Multimedia: Searching and finding large multimedia files, and then determining the owner and location of this content empowers managers to uncover users who are hoarding personal movies, photos, music or other non-work related content that has no purpose on the network.

The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call 'Trend Snippets'. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you.

You have three eggs that are "unbreakable." You believe this claim to be nonsense and would like to test it. You want to see how high the egg's shells can withstand. Because this is in the distant future, you live in a building 1,000,000 stories tall. Because you're not made of time, you'd like to do this as quickly as possible.
What's the best strategy for determining exactly how high you can drop an egg from?
Hint (Highlight to read):
Binary search has a worst case of nearly 250,000, you can do much better than that. You know you're on the right track when your worst case is around 300, you'll know you have it when you're even less than that.
The optimal strategy is not the one that follows. But it is LIKE the one that follows so you should read it over first and understand it.
First: Go to floor 10,000, test, if it breaks the move to the second stage of the strategy, if it doesn't, move up to floor 20,000, repeat.
Second: When you have one broken egg, move down 9,900 floors (to floor X0,100) and tests floors in multiples of 100 until the egg breaks.
Third: When the second egg breaks, move down 99 floors, and test the floors one at a time going up until the egg breaks.
But as it turns out, there is an even more optimal strategy than that. So what can we do to make the worst case better? Well right now there's a worst case penalty imposed whenever you go up floors. You're doing more testing without making the search space smaller.
It relies on triangle and tetrahedral numbers. Triangle numbers are like factorals for addition. 1, 1+2, 1+2+3, etc. They start out as 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21. Tetrahedral numbers is what you get when you add up the triangle numbers in the manner. 1, 1+3, 1+3+6... They start out as 1, 4, 10, 20, 35, 56...
To solve this let's consider 100 floors with two eggs. Our solution before would have us start at the 10th floor, then go up another 10 every time until the first egg broke. Worst case would be 19 attempts.
Using the formula 1/2(n)(n+1) for triangle numbers. The first triangle number larger than 100 is 14th (105). So we test the 14th floor. If it breaks then we go up 13 floors, then 12. So our worst case scenario is 14 tests. Rather than 19. I'll state that as a fact. The reason why should be obvious to the most casual observer.
So if we know that triangle numbers are the most efficient way to run the second stage in our three egg run, then we know that the first stage should be something similar. So we turn to tetrahedral numbers. Our plan is tetrahedral numbers -> triangle numbers -> natural numbers.
So finally, the solution is:
Phase 1: Using the formula 1/6(n)(n+1)(n+2) for tetrahedral numbers. The first tetrahedral number larger than 1,000,000 is the 181st (1,004,731). So we find the 181st triangle number, which is 16,471, and go to that floor. Test the egg. If it breaks move to phase 2. If it doesn't break, we move up 16,290 floors (this is the 180th triangle number) to floor 32,761. Test the egg. Etc.
Phase 2: Go back down to the last floor successfully tested. Using the formula 1/2(n)(n+1) for triangle numbers, we need to figure out the applicable number of floors to go up based on our search space. The good thing is this time the number will always come out round because of our floor choices in phase one. In fact, if you went up by the nth triangle number the last time, you should go up n floors. So let's say your egg broke on floor 32,761. You go back down to floor 16,471 then up 180 floors, then 179, etc. When your second egg breaks move to phase 3.
Phase 3: Go back down to the last floor successfully tested. Using the formula n for natural numbers (haha), we go up one floor at a time until the egg breaks.
Worst case for this method is 181 drops. Which is much better than the 298 drops for the other method, and way, way better than the 250,001 drops for the binary search.


A junior high school teacher who was fired in March plans to sue the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and its education board over what she is calling illegal punishment, sources familiar with the case said Wednesday.
The teacher, whose name has been withheld, was dismissed on March 31 from her position at a public school run by Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward for describing a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly and a history text publisher as "history distorters" last year, the sources said.
In a document she circulated in her civics classes in August last year, the teacher criticized the assembly member and a publisher who is associated with a group that promotes revisionist views on wartime history by writing: "It is a shame that they do not recognize Japan's war of aggression."
The document mentioned the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform, a group that played a leading role in editing a history textbook that has drawn fire both at home and from China and South Korea for allegedly whitewashing Japan's past militarism and attempting to justify its invasions of other Asian countries.
The teacher was reprimanded over the document and underwent a retraining program from last September to March, but ended up being fired, the sources said.
The teacher believes remarks by the assembly member and the history textbook contradict the government's recognition of Japan's wartime aggression, and that telling her students about them was therefore not inappropriate.
The woman argues that the reprimand last August was an abuse of the education board's right to discipline teachers and that her dismissal is illegal.
