Are you confused about when to use "taking" or "taken" in your sentences? It's a common dilemma for many English learners, but with a little knowledge, you can avoid making mistakes and sound more professional in your writing.
Let's start with the basics. "Taking" is the present participle of the verb "take," which means to hold, grasp, or receive something. On the other hand, "taken" is the past participle of "take," which means something that has been received, captured, or brought under control.
Here are some examples to help you distinguish between "taking" and "taken."
1. I am taking a shower
2. She has taken a shower
In the first example, "taking" is used because the action is ongoing, and the subject is currently in the process of taking a shower. In contrast, the second sentence uses "taken" because the subject has already completed the action of taking a shower.
Now, let's explore some other situations where "taking" or "taken" may be used.
When to use "taking"?
1. To express an ongoing activity:
"I am taking a class on literature."
2. To describe someone's behavior:
"He is taking his boss's advice."
3. To refer to medications or drugs being consumed:
"She is taking aspirin for her headache."
4. To indicate transportation:
"I am taking a taxi to the airport."
5. To define involvement or responsibility:
"I am taking responsibility for the project."
When to use "taken"?
1. To refer to the past:
"She has taken dance lessons since she was five."
2. To describe an action that has been completed:
"He has taken care of the paperwork."
3. To indicate a state of possession:
"They have taken ownership of the property."
4. To show that permission has been granted:
"I have taken permission from my boss to take a day off."
5. To show control over something:
"The police have taken the suspect into custody."
So, what are some tips that can help you use "taking" or "taken" correctly in your sentences? Here are a few suggestions:
1. Pay attention to the tense: If you're talking about something that is happening currently, use "taking." If you're discussing something that has already happened, use "taken."
2. Think about the context: Consider the situation or the event being described and choose the appropriate form of the verb.
3. Use an online grammar checker: There are several online tools available that can help you check your grammar and ensure that you're using the right form of the verb.
4. Read widely: To improve your grammar and sentence structure, read widely and pay attention to how other writers use "taking" or "taken."
Using "taking" and "taken" correctly may seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference in how your writing is perceived. By following the guidelines presented here, you can avoid making mistakes and present yourself as a knowledgeable and competent writer. Happy writing!

HTTP Accept Image Ranges
A protocol allowing web browsers to request optimal representations of images according to their
 - physical display properties,
 - network connection properties,
 - magnification level,
 - visible extents,
 - user preferences,
 - etc.,
with existing HTML, CSS, and JS.
Displays with high pixel ratios look their best with higher-resolution graphical elements. So do 1:1 devices when magnifying documents. Device vendors spent a great deal more time on integrating hi-res graphics in their operating systems than they invested in web graphics. New methods are appearing every day involving changes to HTML, CSS, JS, and even cookies.
All of the existing solutions for web graphics are predicated on holding browser and server technologies constant and varying the applications that run on top of them (HTML, CSS, JS). My own work in this field ('s devicepx.js) has taught me that this entire approach should be made redundant as soon as possible.
A step in the right direction would be to move the problem down the stack, out of the application and into the underlying layer: HTTP clients and servers. Web pages and their creators and maintainers vastly outnumber the software options for browsers and servers. Holding HTML, CSS and JS constant and varying client and server software will be vastly more effective and efficient.
Transfer metadata in requests and responses using existing HTTP/1.1 header specifications. Request headers specify the target rendering dimensions or the device pixel ratio; responses tailored to these specifications include headers which indicate the variance and the maximum dimensions of the underlying resource. This is a minimalistic form of content negotiation. I will refer to this technique in general by an acronym from the title: HAIR.
The Accept header is my first choice for a HAIR request header:
 - The field already deals with media types.
 - The field may include extensible parameters.
 - Precedence and fallback are built in.
The Content-Type header can also carry extensible parameters and is therefore my first choice for response metadata when it confirms a match in the Accept header. The Pragma header can be used to transmit any other HAIR metadata in either direction.
The kind of metadata that belongs in the Accept header is anything that can help the server find the optimal variant of a resource on the very first request for that resource.
Example 1: img with dimensions
The simplest case is rendering an image with dimensions provided in HTML attributes. Given a device with a pixel ratio of 2, a 100px square image, and no reason such as bandwidth cost or speed to throttle image quality, the browser should ask for a 200x200 representation. This is a basic HAIR transaction:

HAIR Request:
 GET /img/bob HTTP/1.1
 Accept: image/*; wpx=200; hpx=200, image/*
HAIR Response:
 HTTP/1.1 200 OK
 Content-Type: image/png; wpx=200; hpx=200
 Pragma: owpx=4000, ohpx=4000
 Accept-Ranges: crop
 [200px square image]
Absent the HAIRy Accept header, the server would have responded as any other server with a 100px image and a parameterless Content-Type header. Seeing the HAIRy Accept header, the server has located or generated a 200px image and indicated that the response varies from the default by echoing the parameters from the request.
The optional Pragma response header includes the dimensions of the original. In this case, the server indicates that it has a 4000px source image. The source image dimensions could be used by clients with variable pixel ratios (browsers allowing visual magnification or zooming) to decide whether to request a larger variant when the user increases the magnification factor.
The Accept-Ranges response header announces that the server accepts Range headers with "crop" units. Cropping might be used to load only the visible extents of a very large image. This advanced feature is mentioned here as an aside; it is not expected to be included in early implementations.
Example 2: img without dimensions
Often the browser can not compute the rendered size of an image without first loading the image to learn its natural size. In this case, a HAIRy client can still send information to help the server select an optimal representation. Instead of pixel dimensions, the browser transmits its device pixel ratio (dpr=2) and the server responds optimally:

HAIR Request:
 GET /img/bob HTTP/1.1
 Accept: image/*; dpr=2, image/*
HAIR Response:
 HTTP/1.1 200 OK
 Content-Type: image/png; dpr=2
 Pragma: dwpx=100, dhpx=100
 [200px square image]
The server contains a default representation for /img/bob which is a 100px square image. It computes the optimum size by multiplying by 2 (the dpr), arriving at a 200px square image. The Pragma header includes the default representation's dimensions because the client needs this information to correctly flow the page. It would be an error for the client to assume that dividing the response's dimensions by 2 (dpr=2) would result in the default dimensions, since it is permissible to send a 150px image if that is the best available representation.
Compatibility and Caching
HAIR requests are backwards-compatible with HAIRless servers since they specify a fallback type of image/* (or whatever else the client prefers). HAIRy clients revert to pre-HAIR behavior when responses lack the headers that indicate server-side HAIR processing. Similarly, HAIRy servers maintain compatibility with HAIRless clients since HAIRy server behavior is only triggered by HAIRy request headers.
Besides being the most efficient way to improve graphics on the web, HAIR must also be cache-friendly. It is likely that advanced recommendations will refer to Etag, If-None-Match, and Vary headers.
I have intentionally glossed over the implementation details outside of the HAIR protocol. On the client side, my knowledge of HTML rendering algorithms is just enough to know that this proposal represents a significant undertaking by browser makers.
The new logic on the server side will be even more complex since servers will be asked to choose or generate an optimal representation of an image. One implementation might work by storing the original image and a file containing metadata such as the default reduction size. Another might develop a new type of file archive which contains several variants and parameters for choosing between them.
Art Direction
A designer might decide that an image should be cropped differently for low-resolution variants to preserve important details. How designers will transmit these specifications to servers will depend on how server makers design their new image metadata or archive files.
Archive Formats
Of the many possible archive formats, a filesystem directory may provide the easiest path to implementation in many servers. It is also portable among server platforms as well as desktops where archives will be generated by designers and the tools that will be developed for the purpose. The directory must contain at least one image: the default. Everything else is optional.
In the following listing, the first two files would be sufficient to make /img/bob a fully HAIRy resource. The remaining files may be provided by the author or generated and cached by the server.
The index.* file pattern is well-established. In this case, the designer has chosen jpeg as the optimal format. The server can rapidly respond to HAIRless requests with the contents of the index file; the Content-Type and Content-Disposion headers can be composed from the file's name without sniffing its contents.
The server can use the original.* file as the source when generating other representations as requested. Its dimensions can be provided or cached in a metadata file to save processing time.
Additional source images may be provided for generating smaller sizes. The source-WxH.* pattern specifies sources for generating variants up to WxH. Designers may also provide specific versions of an image for display at lower or higher pixel ratios if patterns like dpr=2.* are supported.
The metadata.json file may also include processing instructions such as resampling and filtering algorithms best suited for the given image. For example, a designer might decide that a photograph may be downscaled with bicubic resampling and then filtered with unsharp-mask, a line drawing may be downscaled but not filtered, pixel art should be upscaled by nearest-neighbor, etc.
File extensions
The omission of file extensions from HTML and HTTP requests is purposeful. It simplifies the HTML while allowing the selection of the optimal format by the server or designer.
Format selection criteria may vary with request parameters and design parameters. A small representation may be optimized for Content-Length while sizes closer to the original may sacrifice compression for fidelity. Image URIs need not suggest the content type.
Other client factors
As briefly mentioned before the first HAIR transaction example, clients may also use information about connection speed, bandwidth cost, user settings or other external factors in their internal HAIR algorithms. A high-res mobile device operating on a slow or expensive network could use HAIR to request reduced-quality images. The same behavior could be triggered by switching to battery power or reaching a low-battery threshold.
While I have no illusion that adding HAIR support to browsers and servers would be a trivial effort, the basic logic is simple: if the


VC++ and multiple inheritance
Today at work we were optimizing memory usage. At some moment we found out that size (on stack) of our basic data structures is x bytes bigger than summed size of their members. Every basic data structure was written following Alexandrescu policy based design – using inheritance from some templated empty classes. Let's see a simple example:
class A { };
class B { };
class C : public A, B
 int test;
int main()
 printf( "%d\n", sizeof( C ) );
 return 0;
Compiler uses 4 byte aligment. Will this program print 4? That depends. Compiled by GCC it will print 4, but compiled by VC++ (2005-2010) it will print 8.
Every class in C++ has to be at least 1 byte of size in order to have a valid memory adress. With multiple inheritance sizeof(C) = sizeof(A) + sizeof(B) + some aligment. So VC++ behavior is correct, but not optimal. It's strange that it was reported to MS in 2005 and still they didn't fix it.
4 Responses to VC++ and multiple inheritance
 1. It's even more puzzling when your class inherits from 5 others (class Der : public A,B,C,D,E).
 Der* 00884fa0
 A* 00884fa0
 B* 00884fa1
 C* 00884fa2
 D* 00884fa3
 E* 00884fa4
 &test 00884fa4
 Yet, adding another inheritance (F) increases the size from 8 to 12. Why couldn't it still be 8 if E* and &test overlap anyway? (F could be 00884fa5)
 This must be an old ugly bug in compiler that nobody in MS understands anymore 🙂
 2. KriS says:
 VC++ sometimes can optimize empty class. Compiling my example with 1 byte alignment will result in sizeof(C) = 5. The funny part is that again some smart abstraction (which should be free in theory) defeats optimizer. Now try to imagine how crappy code is generated by compiler when compiling boost or other "modern c++" code :).

Check boxes are fine for data entry, but you may not want to use them on a formal report. For example, suppose you have a Yes/No field in your Employee Records table called Insurance. If the employee signed up for your company's life insurance plan, the box is checked; if the employee declined the insurance, the box is not checked. You want to create a report that lists employee name, ID, hire date, and whether the employee declined or accepted life insurance. Follow these steps:
- Create a query that displays Employee ID, Lastname, Firstname, Hire Date, and Insurance field from the Employee Records table.
- Right-click the Insurance field in the Query Design view and select Properties.
- Click in the Format property box and enter the following code:
- Click the Lookup tab.
- Click in the Display Control property box and select Text Box.
- Close and save the query.
When you create a report based on this query, either the word Accepted or Declined will replace the check box in the Insurance field.

I get a lot of questions regarding damascus steel and how do the patterns form in it.
Although the principle is rather simple, I've noticed that it is extremely hard to try
to explain it in words. For that reason I've prepared here a description about it. In addition
I want to emphasize that this is not the only way to make damascus steel but a glimpse of how I
do it. That being said, this is not ment to be a tutorial and I don't recommend anyone to use
it as one and I don't take any responsibility of it.
In this example I use 0,8% plain carbon steel which I signify C0,8% and nickel steel 15N20.
These steels have rather identical working and heat treating characteristics.
In practice only difference between the two is the 2% nickel content in 15N20 steel
which among other things reduces corrosion in etching. Plain carbon steel (C0,8%) corrodes
more quickly revealing the layered structure.
I start by grinding the steel surfaces clean from rust and other foreign matter.
After this I cut slabs of equal length which I pile in such way that every other slab is
plain carbon steel (C0,8%) and every other is nickel steel (15N20).
After that I MIG-weld slabs together forming a billet and I weld a handle to it so that it
is easier to handle. There are now 10 layers in the example billet. (PICTURE 1)
Next it's time to light fire to the forge. First I heat the billet to cherry red temperature
and take the billet out of the forge to tighten those slabs more closely together with a few
hammer blows. After that I sprikle some borax over the billet. (PICTURE 2).
Borax is used in forgewelding as a flux. It covers the billet and seals it from oxygen
thus preventing scale from forming, which would interfere the welding.
Next the billet is heated in to yellow / starting white heat. When this temperature is reached
billet is kept in the fire for a while longer, allowing temperature to equalize.
Now I bring the billet to the anvil and quickly but lightly hammer the weld shut starting
at the center proceeding outwards. When the weld is hammered shut liquified hot borax and
scale it has dissolved fly out of the seams (PICTURE 3).
It is necessary to work very quickly because as soon as billet is taken out of forge
it's temperature starts to fall rapidly and one has only few seconds to make the weld depending
of the size of the billet. If billet cools down too much slabs wont weld properly and only option
is to cover the billet with borax and heat it again.

When on extended outdoor excursions are there any scenarios where you can leverage urine as an efficient tool?
An example would be: You're in your sleeping bag in a tent and it's -30*C outside, you opt to urinate in a nalgene inside your sleeping bag and place the sealed nalgene at your feet to keep your toes warm.
I would like to emphasize practical uses rather than concocting dubious scenario's that ultimately are not beneficial to the readers of this question.

There are many if you can adjust with smell and fact that you are going to need to use your own urine for some or the other purpose.
 - Hydrate using Urine: When you are damn far away from any water source and going through serius dehydration, You distill your urine if you can light a fire and have two makeshift containers, some kind of tube, and something to cover one of the containers (like a plastic bag). You put your urine in one of the containers, insert the tube, and cover the top of the container. Put the other end of the tube in the other container. The water in the urine will evaporate, leaving the undrinkable elements behind. It will travel up the tube and the condensation will run into the other container. This method is proven one and is also explained in The SAS Survival Handbook.
 - Makeshift Gunpowder using Urine : Though historical references says that there had been an established technique for making Gunpowder, called the French Method which was commonly used during the Civil war, I personally feel, getting that accuracy for some common adventure guy like me would be out of question. But Yes, as the Gunpowder comprises of 75% potassium nitrate, 15% charcoal and 10% sulfur. We have sources for that around: Charcoal - Wood? Sulfur: dug from the ground around volcanoes? And, Potassium Nitrate: Urine? Bat poo? I actually don't have any experience in making one such, but there is a lot of saying about how that worked for people trapped in caves or under some abandoned mine.
 - Urine as luke warm fluid source: Usually, at higher altitudes, one of the most concerned issues for mountaineers is Frostbite. I have a teammate / mentor who eventually had to suffer a minor frostbite during an attempt, He was some 6-7 hrs far from the Advance Base Camp, and he almost got his toe frostbitten. He realized that it is not so serious yet, but it can be if not taken right preventive measures. He had lost his water can during the climb around ice walls and he needed to put the toe in warm water to asap. He was properly hydrated, and could walk down down the distance. He urinated in his socks to keep his toe warm and walked down till the Advance Base Camp. And, he recovered with absolutely no trouble to his toe. What he actually did was, He did attempt the summit, couldn't make it though, got frostbite to the toe, somehow descended before it got worse, when he was sure that he has descended sufficiently well and to the safer altitude where there is no sub-zero temperatures, then he took the gamble to urinate in his socks, just being sure that it won't freeze.

I'm not entirely sure about the second and third points. Especially the third point. If he did wet his socks, wont it further worsen? i.e, due to the extreme cold temperature, the urine most probably would harden into ice and cause additional problems. – Unsung Jan 7 at 11:47
_USER_: He was coming down, to the lower camps, far from sub-zero temperatures. – WedaPashi Jan 7 at 12:45

For the gunpowder use: that would take some time... say, 2 years or so... From the late middle ages till basically 19th century this was done in Europe in "salpeter pits" and "salpeter gardens" (not sure about the correct - translated literally from German). If you can read German, here's a paper: _URL_.1002/ciuz._PHONE_/abstract. Basically you need nitrifying bacteria to convert the ammonia (from hydrolysis if urea) into nitrate. With lime, Ca(NO3)2 is formed (Mauersalpeter), which you can also find "naturally" on cellar walls if the ground was soaked... – cbeleites Jan 9 at 21:40
... regularly with urine (horse, human, dunghill in the yard,...). You can then exchange the Ca²⁺ against K⁺ (KNO3 is less hygroscopic than NaNO3) by potash. Used to be a big business (kings proclaimed nitrate regalia = defined all nitrate to be theirs). End of the business were the huge guano exports from Chile in the 19th century and then the invention of the Haber-Bosch-process which allowed to produce NH3 from N2 in the air and thus to use the Ostwald process to industrially produce nitrate (fertilizer + ammunition) at the beginning of the 20th century. – cbeleites Jan 9 at 21:49

Whatever you do, DO NOT DRINK URINE. People who suggest this, including a example I saw on a survival show, are just plain wrong.
The job of your kidneys is to take out the trash. This trash is in the form of various chemicals that are biproducts of other parts of the body doing their jobs. Energy is delivered to cells chemically. Cells take in chemicals that combined are in a high-energy state. They re-arrange these chemically into a low energy state, thereby deriving energy for themselves that they use for various life processes. The resultant low energy chemicals are the trash they just eventually dump into the blood stream. The kidneys are constantly grabbing these trash molecules from the bloodstream to keep it clean. Without kidneys, the trash builds up, which will kill you in a few days.
Like a lot of similar industrial processes, the kidneys use water to move the trash and to keep it in a solution such that it can be more easily handled. That solution is urine. If you drink urine, you are putting the trash back into your body, which the kidneys then have to expell again, again using water in the process. In fact, the kidneys require energy to pump these trash molecules out of the bloodstream, which makes some amount of additional trash, which takes additional water to get rid of. Therefore drinking urine will cause you to loose water overall, not to mention the added stress on the kidneys from having to take out the same trash twice, especially when there is less than usual water available (you are already dehydrated).
Urine is mostly water, so if you can somehow purify it, then you can drink it. There are ways to purify water in the wild, so you could conceivably use urine as a water source, but only if you are able to purify it. This is really no different from using seawater as a water souce, and the backcountry methods for purification are the same.
If you can build a fire and have suitable closed containers and something you can rig up as a condenser, then you can distill urine to get mostly clean water that will provide net hyderation to drink. Without a still setup, you can use solar condensators and the like. You don't need to boil a mostly-water solution to generate (mostly) pure vapor, just that you get a lot more of it more quickly that way. Any method that keeps the original liquid at a higher temperature than the output in a closed space will eventually condense clean water. It's a bit of a aside, so getting into details of such methods is too much for this post. But it can be done, although passive condenstation produces clean water only slowly.

Job stress and shift work have a lot more to do with obesity among nurses than previously thought, according to a study by the University of Maryland School of Nursing.
Survey data from 2,103 female nurses revealed that nurses with long work hours were significantly more likely to be obese compared with underweight or normal weight nurses. The obese nurses also reported having jobs requiring less physical exertion and less movement.
Previous to the study, not much was known scientifically about the prevalence of nurses' obesity and of the potential relationship between their work and their weight, says lead researcher Kihye Han, PhD, RN, postdoctoral fellow at the School.
Han says the study results provide timely evidence-based information for nurse executives and administrators who may consider rethinking their nurse scheduling. "Long work hours and shift work adversely affect quantity and quality of sleep, which often interferes with adherence to healthy behavior and increases obesity," she concludes.
The study, published in the Journal of Nursing Administration (volume 41, issue 11), is the latest in a series from the School of Nursing that together show adverse effects from unfavorable nursing schedules--effects not only on nurses' health but also on hospitals and patient care outcomes.
One of the previous studies by the same research team in the School of Nursing found that, along with long work hours, the work schedule component most frequently related to patient mortality was lack of time off from the job. Another study revealed evidence to challenge the common 12-hour nursing shift, which can result in sleep deprivation, health problems, and a greater chance for patient-care errors. In still another article, researchers described barriers that keep nursing executives from moving away from the practice, and offered strategies to help mitigate the possible negative effects of 12-hour shifts.
The obesity study suggests that educational interventions about sleep hygiene and strategies for adapting work schedules should be offered by hospitals and other health care institutions. Han adds that a favorable organizational climate that supports napping in the workplace can help prevent work-related sleep deprivation, reduce fatigue, and increase energy for healthy lifestyle behaviors.
About 55 percent of the nurses surveyed were obese. "Considering that more than half of nurses are overweight or obese, increasing availability of healthy food and providing sufficient time to consume it may reduce the risk of obesity and future health problems," says Han.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Alcohol Addiction or Alcoholism is a generally spread sickness which influences ordinary existence of a person. Alcoholism can be considered because of numerous components including hereditary qualities, sex, social environment, and psychological well-being of a man.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment in Chennai
Alcoholic is a man who experiences alcoholism while alcoholism is the disease. Alcoholics are continual with alcohol and don't know the amount to drink and can't control over day by day reiteration of devouring alcohol in huge amount, regardless of the possibility that it is bringing on significant issues to his body, work and family.
Manifestations of Alcoholism
It is extremely hard to comprehend the contrast between social drinking and issue drinking (Alcohol Addiction). Alcohol is a broadly utilized and accessible drug which is acknowledged in numerous societies. Alcohol is devoured so regularly by various age bunch individuals and in social capacities also. Additionally alcoholics used to conceal their drinking propensities from their family and friends and family.
Taking after sign or side effects could be of Alcohol Addiction

The Eeyou Marine Region Land Claims Agreement
The Eeyou Marine Region Impact Review Board is an Institution of Public Government established under the Eeyou Marine Region Land Claims Agreement (EMRLCA). The Agreement was signed by the Governments of Canada and Nunavut, and by the Grand Council of the Crees on behalf of the Crees of Eeyou Istchee. It was signed on July 7, 2010 and came into effect on February 15, 2012. The EMRLCA is a treaty recognized under the Constitution Act, 1982.
The EMRLCA is a comprehensive land claims agreement that sets out the respective rights of Canada and the Cree in regard to the Eeyou Marine Region (EMR). The EMR is a remarkable expanse of land located in eastern James Bay and southeastern Hudson Bay. It covers approximately 61,270 square kilometers and affects the lives of 17,146 Cree that live on the mainland in northern Quebec.
To effectively manage land use, hunting, fishing, trapping, and development in the EMR, the Crees and the Government of Canada established three Institutions of Public Government:

What is Cubix?
Cubix is a framework for language-parametric program transformation, i.e.: defining a single source-to-source program transformation tool that can be run on multiple languages. In Cubix, you can write transformations with a type signature like "This transformation works for any language that has assignments, loops, and a name-binding analysis," and instantly get separate tools for C, Java, etc. The goal is to radically reduce the cost of building sophisticated whole-program refactoring tools by allowing each tool to be built for a much larger market.
Cubix is based on the idea of incremental parametric syntax, a technique for defining families of representations of programming languages which share common components, and for defining them as a small modification to a pre-existing syntax definition. The name "Cubix" comes from the 2000s television show "Cubix: Robots for Everyone;" in that show, "Cubix" is a robot composed of modular pieces that can be reassembled for many purposes.
The Cubix system itself, and the general incremental parametric syntax approach, is described in the OOPSLA 2018 paper:
- One Tool, Many Languages: Language-Parametric Transformation with Incremental Parametric Syntax*; James Koppel et al
We also recommend reading the following papers to get the necessary background in generic programming to understand Cubix:
- Data Types à la Carte, Wouter Swierstra
- Compositional Data Types, Patrick Bahr and Thomas Hvitved
Transformations in Cubix use our
compstrat library of strategy
combinators. To understand strategy combinators, we recommend the
- The Essence of Strategic Programming, Ralf Lämmel et al
What Cubix is not
Cubix is the world's first framework that can build language-parametric source-to-source transformations. As the first of its kind, it often gets mistaken for a solution to more familiar problems. In particular, it is not:
- A tool for translating one language into another. Cubix allows you to create a single tool that can transform C programs into better C programs and Java programs into better Java programs. It is not designed for building tools that can transform C programs into Java programs. Indeed, much of its power comes from its ability to preserve all the information of the original program.
- A collection of ready-to-use refactoring tools. Thus far, all transformations built on Cubix are tech demos. While a couple are theoretically useful, they have not undergone the amount of UX engineering needed to actually be time-savers.
- A framework for writing multi-language program analyses. Cubix transformations may consume results provided by other analyses, which may be written in either a single-language or multi-language fashion.
- A framework for analysis/transformation of polyglot programs, i.e.: programs (or single source files) written in multiple languages.
However, Cubix's generic-programming capabilities make it a powerful tool for building all kinds of programming tools, even for only one language. We are particularly excited about the potential of extending Cubix to transform polyglot programs.
To build Cubix:
First, download the sub-libraries
git submodule update
Second, build Cubix:
stack build --ghc-options='-O0 -j +RTS -A256m -n2m -RTS'
You may be prompted for your Github credentials to download the third-party frontends.
You are now ready to run Cubix transformations:
stack exec examples-multi java hoist input-files/java/Foo.java
Cubix has many dependencies, several of which are not on Hackage/Stackage, including some forks of Hackage libraries whose changes have not been merged upstream. This makes it more difficult to create a new package which depends on Cubix. For an example of how to do this, see _URL_
Because of performance problems in GHC, the full Cubix will not build with -O1 or -O2. We've tried on a server with 64GB RAM; the server ran out of memory. Instead, use this command:
alias stackfastbuild="stack build --ghc-options='-O0 -j +RTS -A256m -n2m -RTS'"
This builds Cubix in parallel with minimal optimization, and sets the initial GHC heap to larger than usual.
We found the following two minimal sets of compilation flags that mitigate this blowup and make compilation manageable:
1: -fno-cse -fno-full-laziness 2: -fno-specialize -funfolding-creation-threshold=0
If disable everything except CSE and specialise, blow-up still occurs. Remains true with -O1
Adding "--flag cubix:only-one-language" to the build command will turn on a compile flag that disables building support for all languages except Lua, the smallest language. This greatly speeds compilation times, to the point where we are able to compile with -O2. Some of the performance reports in cubix/benchmarks/reports were compiled with this flag.
A Docker image containing the version of Cubix submitted to OOPSLA 2018 along with runs of all the experiments, including the human study, is available from _URL_

Use this command from the "languages" directory (the one that contains "stack.yaml"):
stack exec examples-multi
You will be give the following help:
Usage: examples-multi * examples-multi * Transforms available: debug,id,cfg,elementary-hoist,hoist,tac,testcov,ipt Analyses available: anal-triv-call
Note that only the IPT transformation can be run on multiple files.
It can be faster to run the executable directory, without using
stack exec. On the first author's laptop, this executable is located at
Using the Interprocedural Plumbing Transformation (IPT) Tool
We recommend also using the
rlwrap command to enable command history.
rlwrap stack exec examples-multi java ipt input-files/java/ipt/*.java
In C and Java, you will additionally be prompted for the type of the
parameter to add. Give this type as an AST for
(PrimType IntT), not
Running the language test suites
Cubix comes with scripts for running any semantics-preserving
and Python, in the files
scripts/test_java.rb and similar. To do so:
- Follow the below instructions to install the language tests.
- Each.rb file contains a constant at the top like
JAVA_TESTSpointing to the language implementation and tests directory. Modify these appropriately.
./scripts/test_.rb
These scripts will run the transformation on all tests, run the transformed tests, and report the final pass/fail counts.
For all transformations except
id, they will first run the identity
transformation, and discard any tests that fail. This rules out tests
that trigger bugs in the 3rd party parsers/pretty-printers, most (but
not all) self-referential tests, and tests that the original language
They also come with a special
count_loc parameter that counts the
total lines of code in all relevant tests.

Rêve D Reve D RD-003-35 Aluminum Knuckle Stopper for RD-001 ASL Front Knuckle (3.5mm diameter, 2pcs)
Beschikbaarheid: Op voorraad (1)
RWD drift cars generally use a knuckle stopper (steering stopper) to adjust the maximum turning angle, but when maximizing the turning angle, many people use M3 set screws.
Even with the M3 set screw, the function of the stopper works, but the surface of the screw will hinder the movement of the suspension at the maximum turning angle.
This is where the [Aluminum Knuckle Stopper] comes into play!
Unlike the M3 set screw, the surface has no irregularities, so it does not hinder the movement of the suspension even at the maximum turning angle.
Furthermore, since it is made of lightweight aluminum, it is also effective in reducing weight by replacing it with an iron set screw.
The lineup consists of a Φ3.0mm and Φ3.5mm diameter part.
In addition to Φ3.0mm which realizes the maximum steering angle, Φ3.5mm which is an option when you want to control the steering angle only slightly is prepared.
Φ3.5mm is effective when the commercially available Φ4.0mm has insufficient steering angle and Φ3.0mm has too much angle!
If you are currently using an M3 set screw as a stopper or want to increase the steering angle more than a φ4.0mm stopper, please try it.
Screw 4.5mm
Pedestal diameter 5.5mm
Length from base to tip 16mm
Hexagonal hole dimensions 1.5mm across flats
* Above dimensions are suitable for RD-001 ASL Front Knuckle.
* If you use for the other knuckles, please check the dimensions of the knuckle, wheel before purchasing

Nuclear Plant Report Evaluates Fish Impact
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.—The federal fisheries service says the continued operation of two nuclear plants in the New York City suburbs would have an "adverse effect" on two endangered species of sturgeon, but wouldn't come close to wiping them out.
The conclusion appears to help the argument for extending licenses for the Indian Point plants on the Hudson River, although one critic called it wrong and irrelevant.

Yucatan Poorwill is endemic to the Yucatan region of southeastern Mexico, Belize, and northeastern Guatemala. This small caprimulgid is found in deciduous forest and scrub habitats and most often is detected by its three part song. This nightjar is seen only infrequently because of its arboreal habits, unlike the sympatric Common Pauraque (Nyctidromus albicollis), which commonly sits on roads at night in between feeding sallies. Yucatan Nightjar can be identified within its restricted geographic range by its small size, rufous coloration, and tendency to perch in trees.

Vincent van Gogh made this drawing in varied hues of golden brown ink as a study of a painting. The vertical composition, whereby forms grow smaller and denser as the eye moves up, leads the eye across the stubble of a newly cut wheat field framed by gathered stacks of wheat. In the center, a man scythes a section of the field while a woman bundles cut wheat under her arm. The background shifts to the cityscape of Arles, where churches and densely packed houses stretch across the horizon. A railroad train and factories churning smoke into the sky signal the dawn of the machine world and its effect on traditional ways of life.
This drawing embodies many of the characteristic features of van Gogh's work: remarkably varied graphic strokes, a subject matter that comments on the human condition, a golden glow that suggests the warm light of southern France, and a balanced yet dynamic composition.


text: It is known that densities in formations are usually assumed to be constant for gravity model calculations. This also implies that formations are homogeneous and isotropic. However, the formations are usually heterogeneous and densities vary depending on heterogeneity. For this reason, densities should be taken into account as variables. Some scientists consider densities as variables in each formation in model calculations. In other words, density is defined as a function of the required parameters. In fact, functional change is regular. However, density is an irregular variable that depends on the change boundaries of seismic velocity. In this study, it is aimed to take density into account as a variable by using detected seismic velocity boundaries at which seismic velocity changes for each formation. In addition to main formations in model geometry in 3D inversion calculations, another formation was defined. This additional formation has been described by using a combination of all of the change boundaries of seismic velocity present in each formation in a specific order. The density calculated for the additional formation estimated the variation of density between the change boundaries of seismic velocity. This variation is added to the mass densities that are calculated for the description number of each zone. So, lower-density layer comprising oil can be determined by this method. The reliability of the results of the method depends on the reliability of seismic velocity boundaries. Moreover, the increasing number of seismic velocity boundaries leads to the increasing resolution of density variations.


Physiotherapy Promotes Healthy Aging
May is National Physiotherapy month. During this month we want to celebrate and highlight some of the ways that Physiotherapy helps us to maintain and improve how we move, and to manage and prevent pain/injury and illness as we age.
Did you know that falls and fall-related injuries in seniors is a significant issue within our healthcare system and creates a cost burden to our Canadian health care system. Falls and fear of falling often restricts the activity level of our senior population. Physiotherapy is highly effective in preventing and reducing the risk of falls.1
Physiotherapy plays an important role in falls prevention. 2
The goals of physiotherapy led programs are to
 - Improve physical function
 - Improve strength
 - Improve balance to decrease the risk of falling and
 - Increase confidence
This will allow seniors to continue to be active and safe in their daily activities.
To establish appropriate fall prevention programming, a physiotherapy assessment is valuable to determine individual risk factors and to recommend an appropriate fall prevention program. Based on the assessment, it can be determined if a group class is a safe option or whether a more individualized program is needed.
Physiotherapy helps to optimize function and prevents/delays frailty. 3
Physical decline is a natural part of aging and can be accelerated by conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and stroke to name a few.
At any age, physiotherapy can help to optimize personal mobility, strength and flexibility which can lead to positive changes to limit this physical decline and the impact it may have on the enjoyment of daily activities.
Physiotherapists also play a critical role in helping people prepare for and recover from joint replacement surgery.4
Joint pain is a common cause of activity limitation which may lead to increased frailty or risk of falls as we age. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in helping people with joint pain to potentially decrease the need for joint replacement surgery or delaying surgery.
The research shows that exercise based physiotherapy is highly effective in producing improved outcomes in post - operative joint replacement recovery.
Physiotherapy helps prevent and manage pain.5
Chronic pain, pain that is present for greater than 6 months, can develop from any joint or muscle injury.
Research strongly supports non-pharmacological approaches such as exercise/activity and mental health support. Physiotherapists are highly trained experts in how the body moves, exercise, and pain science. Working with a physiotherapist can be beneficial in helping chronic pain sufferers deal with and manage pain to enable ongoing participation in activities of daily life and recreation pursuits now, and as we age!
Our goal at Fit for Life Physiotherapy is just that - to help you be fit for life! That may mean different things to different people and so we work with you ONE ON ONE to understand YOUR needs and your goals to help you do the things you enjoy and promote healthy aging.
If there is something you want to get back to doing or improve how you are managing with daily activities - or know someone else who needs our help - set up a FREE 15 minute consultation to find out how we can help you by calling us at _PHONE_ or emailing

, such as multiple packet resends or more than expected reconnections.
Example collector destination topologies
You can use Packet Mirroring in various setups. The following examples show the location of collector destinations and their policies for different packet mirroring configurations, such as VPC Network Peering and Shared VPC.
Collector destination in the same network
The following example shows a packet mirroring configuration where the mirrored source and collector destination are in the same VPC network.
In the preceding diagram, the packet mirroring policy is configured to mirror
subnet-a and send mirrored traffic to the internal load balancer.
Google Cloud mirrors the traffic on existing and future instances in the
subnet. All traffic to and from the internet, on-premises hosts, or Google
services is mirrored.
Collector destination in a peer network
You can build a centralized collector model, where instances in different VPC networks send mirrored traffic to a central VPC network. That way, you don't need to build a destination collector in each network. The central VPC network hosts one or more collector destinations where all mirrored traffic is sent.
You can achieve this scenario by using VPC Network Peering. All VPC networks that include mirrored sources must be peered with the central network.
VPC networks can be in the same project or in different projects. For each peer VPC network, you must create a packet mirroring policy. In this case, the policy is in the project that contains the central network. The policy can also be in a project that has a network that is peered with the central network.
In the preceding diagram, the collector destination collects mirrored traffic
from subnets in two different networks. All resources (the source and
destination) must be in the same region. The setup in
network-a is similar to
the example where the mirrored source and collector destination are in the same
policy-1 is configured to collect
subnet-a and send it to
policy-2 is configured in
project-a but specifies
subnet-b as a mirrored
network-b are peered, the destination
collector can collect traffic from
The networks are in different projects and might have different owners. It's possible for either owner to create the packet mirroring policy if they have the right permissions:
If the owners of
project-acreate the packet mirroring policy, they must have the
compute.packetMirroringAdminrole on the network, subnet, or instances to mirror in
If the owners of
project-bcreate the packet mirroring policy, they must have
For more information about enabling private connectivity across two VPC networks, see VPC Network Peering.
In the following Shared VPC scenarios, the mirrored instances for the collector destination are all in the same Shared VPC network. Even though the resources are all in the same network, they can be in different projects, such as the host project or several different service projects. The following examples show where packet mirroring policies must be created and who can create them.
If both the mirrored sources and collector destination are in the same project, either in a host project or service project, the setup is similar to having everything in the same VPC network. The project owner can create all the resources and set the required permissions in that project.
For more information, see Shared VPC overiew.
Collector destination in service project
In the following example, the collector destination is in a service project that uses a subnet in the host project. In this case, the policy is also in the service project. The policy could also be in the host project.
In the preceding diagram, the service project contains the collector instances
that use the collector subnet in the Shared VPC network. The packet
mirroring policy was created in the service project and is configured to mirror
instances that have a network interface in
Service or host project users can create the packet mirroring policy. To do so,
users must have the
compute.packetMirroringUser role in the service project
where the collector destination is located. Users must also have the
compute.packetMirroringAdmin role on the mirrored sources.
Collector destination in host project
In the following example, the collector destination is in the host project and mirrored instances are in the service projects.
This example might apply to scenarios where developers deploy applications in service projects and use the Shared VPC network. They don't have to manage the networking infrastructure or Packet Mirroring. Instead, a centralized networking or security team, who have control over the host project and Shared VPC network, are responsible for provisioning packet mirroring policies.
In the preceding diagram, the packet mirroring policy is created in the host project, where the collector destination is located. The policy is configured to mirror instances in the mirrored subnet. VM instances in service projects can use the mirrored subnet, and their traffic is mirrored.
Service or host project users can create the packet mirroring policy. To do so,
users in the service project must have the
compute.packetMirroringUser role in
the host project. Users in the host project require the
compute.packetMirroringAdmin role for mirrored sources in the service
Multi-interface VM instances
You can include VM instances that have multiple network interfaces in a packet mirroring policy. Because a policy can mirror resources from a single network, you cannot create one policy to mirror traffic for all network interfaces of an instance. If you wanted to mirror other network interfaces, you must create a policy for each interface because each one is in a different network.

The C<-t> switch lets you determine, in which directory the intermediate files should be stored. All object files and static extensions following on the command line will be linked into the target file. If there are any directories specified on the command line, these directories are searched for C<*.a> files, and all of the found ones will be linked in, too.

Our friendly and professional team offer the following services:
Zinc is a very useful material and is present in earth various processes. The metal is very versatile and is used in a number of applications, most notably in the galvanization process to keep metals from rusting. Zinc is used heavily in building structures like metal roofs, plumbing, structural support, and other such components. Most people don't realize that this material can be recycled because few companies provide services for zinc recycling in Toronto.
Why is Zinc Recycling Different?
Zinc recycling is different because most zinc material is used in conjunction with other metals. For example, the metal needs to be separated from steel in order to be recycled, which adds an extra step to the recycling process. Fortunately, technology has advanced enough to improve the process and now 90% of the collected products that contain zinc can be recycled through the zinc reclamation process.
The Separation Process
This means both zinc and steel can be extracted from the waste material easily and effectively. Galvanized steel products are the most common source of recycled zinc and are often recycled through the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) heating process. Here's a brief description of it:
- The scrap metal is placed inside the furnace and heated until the zinc becomes volatile.
- At this stage, zinc separates from steel in a gaseous form and is collected from the furnace.
- This gas is treated to turn it back to a solid state and it forms zinc dust.
- The dust is then melted in a kiln, where it turns into zinc oxide.
Zinc oxide is one of the primary raw materials in the production of zinc and can be used to create the metal once again. This cycle can be repeated numerous times without any problems with the metal.
What are the Benefits of Recycling Zinc?
There are a number of environmental and economic benefits of zinc recycling in Toronto and these include:
- Conserving a non-renewable resource – Zinc is a non-renewable resource and will eventually dry out. Recycled zinc makes up for 40% of worldwide usable zinc and this number will only increase as the recycling technology develops. It's better to recycle and reuse zinc now than deal with its scarcity later.
- Reducing waste – If zinc is recycled, it's not filling the landfills and causing damage to the environment. The more zinc we recycle, the less it burdens the environment and the economy because maintaining landfills and increasing amounts of waste can cost money.
- Impact of extraction on the environment – Zinc extraction can be a considerable burden on the environment. Dust, metal particles, chemicals, and harmful gasses are released into the environment during the extraction and refining process. While companies try to reduce emissions as much as they can, the process still harms the environment. The recycling process is safer and more affordable too.
Zinc recycling in Toronto might be a slightly more complicated process compared to other recycling methods, but it does provide similar benefits and is good for the environment.

|Oracle Workflow Guide
Part Number A95265-03
Oracle Workflow manages business processes according to rules that you define. The rules, which we call a workflow process definition, include the activities that occur in the process and the relationship between those activities. An activity in a process definition can be an automated function defined by a PL/SQL stored procedure or an external function, a notification to a user or role that may optionally request a response, a business event, or a subflow that itself is made up of a more granular set of activities.
A workflow process is initiated when an application calls a set of Oracle Workflow Engine APIs. The Workflow Engine takes over by driving the relevant work item defined by the application, through a specific workflow process definition. According to the workflow process definition, the Workflow Engine performs automated steps and invokes appropriate agents when external processing is required.
The following diagram depicts a simplified workflow process definition that routes a requisition to a manager or set of managers for approval.
We refer to the whole drawing as a process or process diagram. The icons represent activities, and the arrows represent the transitions between the activities. In the above example, new items are created for the process when a user creates and submits a requisition in the appropriate application.
This process contains several workflow activities implemented as PL/SQL stored procedures, including:

The Fourier and Laplace transforms are defined by testing the given function f by special functions (characters in the case of Fourier, exponentials in the case of Laplace).
These special functions happen to be eigenfunctions of translation: if one translates a character or an exponential, one gets a scalar multiple of that character or an exponential.
As a consequence, the Fourier or Laplace transforms diagonalise the translation operation (formally, at least).
Whenever two linear operations commute, they are simultaneously diagonalisable (in principle, at least). As such, one expects the Fourier or Laplace transforms to also diagonalise other linear, translation-invariant operations.
Differentiation and integration are linear, translation-invariant operations. This is why they are diagonalised by the Fourier and Laplace transforms.
Diagonalisation is an extremely useful tool; it reduces the non-abelian world of operators and matrices to the abelian world of scalars.

Hydrogeologic Framework of a Sandand Gravel-Dominated Area
This example highlights the mapping format employed in the White River valley and adjacent parts of its major tributaries where the late Wisconsin deposits consist chiefly of sand and gravel. The area selected for this example is located north of Raymond Street along the northern edge of the Maywood quadrangle (sec. 14 and 15, T. 15 N., R. 3 E.) (fig. 1). This area is situated in the center of the outwash plain in the White River valley, and is representative of the hydrogeological conditions typically found in this type of setting. Sandand gravel-dominated sequences are characteristic of a wide zone that extends completely across Marion County from north to south along the White River valley, and they contain the major source of groundwater in the county. Geologic maps available for the Maywood quadrangle area include: glacial terrains (fig. 1); unconsolidated thickness (fig. 2); bedrock elevation and geology (fig. 3); and hydrogeologic settings (fig. 4).
Glacial Terrain Map
Most of the outwash plain in this area is part of a broad, very flat terrace that lies between Eagle Creek on the west and the east fringe of the White River valley (fig. 1). The terrace slopes gently to the south at about 8 to 10 ft per mile (2.4 to 3.0 m per 1.6 km) and, in this area, is about 690 to 700 ft (210.3 to 213.4 m) in elevation. Much of the landscape within the map area has been severely altered by urbanization and sand and gravel mining; however, there are a few very small terraces whose surfaces lie slightly above the general elevation of the main outwash plain, and whose shapes show a prominent down-valley orientation. These characteristics are similar to those exhibited by the much more pronounced features in the valley further to the south, and are suggestive of large-scale streamlining by meltwater outbursts.
Another key feature of this landscape is the fact that the modern White River channel obviously does not coincide with the main axis of the former glacial sluiceway. This situation is typical in many parts of the valley, and points to the fact that parts of the modern White River may have little relation to the massive meltwater rivers that created the main bodies of outwash that define the axis of the valley. The present location of the modern channel probably reflects more recent channel migration associated with the relatively small, postglacial river.
The unconsolidated materials overlying the bedrock surface in the selected area in the Maywood quadrangle range from 60 to 160 ft (18.3 to 48.8 m) in thickness (fig. 2).
Bedrock Topography and Geology
The White River valley in the Maywood quadrangle generally parallels a sizable bedrock lowland developed chiefly in the New Albany Shale (fig. 3). The evolution of the lowland appears to be complex, with some parts containing Illinoian and (or) pre-Illinoian deposits, but others evidently filled entirely by Wisconsin sand and gravel. It seems probable that the lowland has assumed its present form gradually through time, having experienced erosion by meltwater and ice during several glacial episodes, including one or more of the Wisconsin glaciations.
The part of the river valley represented in this example lies over the broad floor of the bedrock lowland, and is close to the overlap of the New Albany Shale on the Devonian carbonate rocks. The elevation of the bedrock surface in the immediate area of this example is sufficiently low relative to the structure of this contact to expose an area of Devonian limestone in section 14. The limestone found in the subsurface in the Maywood quadrangle is a protuberance from the much larger area to the north underlain by Devonian limestone.
The White River is the most important hydrologic feature in the example area and acts as the regional discharge area for all aquifers. The water table is relatively high but has a low gradient sloping toward the river. The absence of any capping silt or clay makes this type of area very sensitive to contamination (fig. 4).
The example area represents the variability in the distribution of buried fine-grained till units along the axis and fringe of the White River valley. This variability shows that the main valley is not a simple geologic system. Late Wisconsin till units are absent or discontinuous, and lower pre-Wisconsin till units are much less abundant than the fringe areas of the valley. However, their discontinuous nature can make site investigation difficult. Movement of contaminants that are denser than water is often difficult to track under these conditions.

Is It An "Accident" Or A "Crash"?
You may have never given it much thought. But when is a collision involving one or more vehicles an accident, and when is it a crash? The Michigan Department of Transportation thinks it is an important enough distinction to produce a video to explain the differences. An example cited by the department is when a driver crashes because they were driving too fast for conditions, even though they didn't intend to. Should we really call it an "accident"? That's just one example of why MDOT, along with partners in law enforcement, emergency medical, and fire service agencies, is urging everyone to call traffic collisions "crashes" instead of accidents. A new video posted on MDOT's YouTube channel, as well as a new webpage: _URL_ explain why.
When a traffic crash is described as an "accident," it implies that no one bears responsibility for the outcome. It also leads to the belief there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it. But MDOT administrators believe most crashes result from distracted, drugged, or drunken drivers, or unsafe or illegal actions, such as driving too fast for wet or icy conditions and failing to stop for stop signs or signals. Only a small percentage vehicle collisions are the result of equipment failures, animals, or medical emergencies. Spl/Lt. Derrick Carroll is the public information officer for the Michigan State Police Seventh District. His colleagues in law enforcement have investigated many crashes in their careers and he confirms most stem from driver behavior. "An accident cannot be reasonably foreseen. A crash is the result of choices made and a disregard for safety," Carroll says. "That's why we in law enforcement call it a traffic crash and never an accident."
Emergency medical personnel, firefighters, and other first responders are changing how they talk about crashes. The word "accident" was used in the early 1900s by companies seeking to avoid liability for workers injured on the job. In the 1920s, automakers and insurers began using it as well in an effort to shift blame, but it has since come to be used as an equivalent term for "crash" to absolve drivers of responsibility.
While an Associated Press Stylebook (2016 revision) says "accident" and "crash" are generally acceptable descriptions for vehicle crashes, it does recommend journalists use "crash, collision, or other terms" and avoid using "accident" in auto crash reporting, particularly in cases when negligence is claimed or proven.


Boston Dynamics robot dog does battle test with French army
Boston Dynamics: Spot, a quadrupedal robot from the North American Boston Dynamics, is being used in French army training. Currently, the "robot dog" helps soldiers to conduct reconnaissance during activities.
École Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr, France's main military school, posted photos of the actions on Twitter. The institution describes the tests as a way to make students aware of the challenges of tomorrow and robotization on the battlefield.
According to Ouest-France, soldiers from the military school participated in two days of training in different scenarios. The exercises involved offensive and defensive actions, and an urban combat test.
Each scenario was practiced only with humans and then with students and robots. In this way, they analyzed the differences of having machines operating on the battlefield.
Despite delaying operations, Spot helped keep troops safer. One soldier said he died during a human-only test, something that can be avoided when the robot was used to perform reconnaissance.
However, one of the problems with the robotic dog was battery life. During one of the exercises, he ran out of energy and needed to be removed from the field to be recharged.
Robots on the battlefield
Spot's presence on simulated battlefields raises questions about where it will be deployed in the future. Boston Dynamics began its history by creating models for the American army, but distanced itself from the military by focusing on the commercial market.
Today, the company is very concerned about the use of robots to harm humans. So much so that Spot's terms prohibit the use to hurt or intimidate any person or animal, or as a weapon or to enable weapons.
It is possible to argue that the French army uses the robot to patrol buildings and that would not be harmful to anyone. But recognition is the prelude to a military confrontation, which makes the distinction fragile.

WOO HOO! African state of Angola bans Islam and will destroy all the mosques
UnknownBy popular demand, Angolan authorities have taken pre-emptive action and decided to ban the Muslim religion, which they consider a cult, NOT a religion. They see what Muslims are doing to Christians, especially in Africa, and are taking steps to prevent the same from happening in Angola.
imagesPoste reveille (h/t Susan K) The provincial governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said on the airwaves of local radio that "radical Muslims are not welcome in Angola and the Angolan government is not ready for the legalization of mosques." Minister of Culture, Rosa Cruz e Silva explained that the law on freedom of religion will be reviewed given the current national context, noting that the Government will redouble its efforts to fight relentlessly against religious cults like Islam which are contrary to the customs of Angolan culture.
95% of Angola's population is Christian. A quarter belongs to Protestant churches founded during the colonial period, including congregational evangelical church.
former-boko-haram-Nasir-IsiakuThis decisive action taken by the Angolan head of state is based on a desire to guard against the rise of the Wahhabi ideology that has created havoc, death and destruction in Africa and elsewhere. And as rightly explained Tunisian philosopher Mezri Haddad: "Islamism and Islamophobia feed each other. Worse, long-term Islamism as an ideology destroy Islam as religion. "
Africalap According to the International Religious Freedom Report 2008, Islam in Angola is a minority religion with 80,000 – 90,000 adherents, composed largely of migrants from West Africa and families of Lebanese origin. The Muslims comprise between 2.5 to 3 percent of Angola's overall population of 17 million people, most of them Christians.
in the last decade, but especially during the last few years the Muslim community in Angola has grown appreciably and Islamic activities have become more common in major cities. Mosques have sprung up in a number of places and Qur'anic schools have been built to provide Islamic instructions and teach Arabic language to adherents.
Public attitudes toward Islam have been generally negative. Cultural differences between Angolan and Muslim West African immigrants have been the basis for negative views toward Islam, as was the perceived link between Islam and illegal immigration. Since the September 11 attacks, there has been a deliberate attempt to link Muslims with terrorism. It has become a matter of routine at Luanda airport for security officers to detain Muslims arriving from Sahelian countries.
jihad christian girl beheaded by indonesian muslims in 2005
3779664185On September 1, 2008, a Muslim mob attacked the Christian community in the town of Andulo. The school-age daughter of a deacon at one of the churches was decapitated. Forty Christians were assaulted or tortured. The mob burned three church buildings. They also went to Christians' houses to intimidate them or destroyed items of property. Stones were thrown at the headquarters of a local Christian project, causing some damage. An Angolan Christian leader said that the local police were unable to stop the attack and fled the scene.
1) He's sending weapons to Libya to help repair America's strained relationship with Al-Qaeda.
2) Parents all across the country can now point to Barack Obama's performance when they're explaining to their children why they shouldn't use drugs.
3) He won the Nobel Peace Prize. Hello!
4) Thanks to, "New Coke" no longer has to bear the shame of being the worst product roll-out in American history.
5) Because of Obama, 91 million people without jobs now have plenty of time to spend with their family.
6) He extended childhood all the way up to 26 by allowing "children" to stay on their parents insurance until then.
7) He's kept goofy Uncle Joe Biden from becoming President for five long years.
8) No President in American history has done more to further gun sales than Barack Obama.
9) Without Barack Obama, none of us would have ever heard the name Sandra Fluke and what a tragedy that would be!
10) He has already broken Bill Clinton's record for the most lies told in one presidency with three years left to go in office.
11) When the SEALS asked for permission to kill Bin Laden, he didn't insist that they merely give Osama a good talking to instead.
12) He has worked tirelessly to know the American people better through invasive TSA searches, reading their emails, and listening in on their phone calls.
13) He's living proof that even a pothead who thinks there are 57 states can still live the American dream.
14) Because of Obama's economic policies, more Americans than ever have gotten to experience the sweet, sweet joy of funemployment!
15) Obama's policies are so bad that even real racists have stopped hating him for being black and hate him for his failed policies.
Nuclear Ambitions Are Clear Sign Dear Leader Obama Losing Grip
John Ransom / Townhall Columnist
Despite concrete evidence that global warming has paused, despite evidence that the world is most definitely not running out of oil, despite evidence that the climate models are wrong, global warming still looms as a major disaster to people living in the United States, especially the poor and the middle class.
That's because the false hysteria surrounding global warming is partially responsible for electing the worst president that we've ever had.
And the cleanup from this disaster is going to take a long while.
Let's put it this way: The earth will begin to warm again before the fallout and toxic effects of Hurricane O are cleaned up.
In the latest manifestation of the man-caused disaster that is Obama, Senator Millionaire, Harry Reid, (D-Dead) got rid of the long agreed-upon rules that prevent presidential nominations from coming to a vote without a consensus amongst Senators.
This rule has been so sacrosanct that changing it has been referred to by BOTH parties as "the nuclear option."
While Democrats usually pursue a strategy of using dead voters to stuff ballot boxes and suppress the vote, Obama instead turned to a dead Senator, Harry Reid, to stuff the Senate votes.
And because the nuclear option was deployed, you can kiss an early debt deal goodbye, along with a deal on tax reform or a deal to keep government running past January 2013.
Only rulers of tin-horn dictatorships seek to go nuclear, like this, as an alternative to real, responsive government.
"I just think after today, legislating's going to be pretty tough," said Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, who infuriates the GOP's base for often cooperating with Democrats on bipartisan legislation.
"If you thought the Senate has already ground to a near standstill, this is like throwing sand into the gears of an already rusty machine," said Republican strategist Ron Bonjean, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "It's really going to heighten the tensions even further, create bitter partisan arguments and add to the acrimony that's currently in the Senate."
Strike that. I'm sure he meant to say: "create MORE, bitter, partisan arguments."
What's at stake is the thin veneer of civility-- perhaps the last civility left in our Republic-- that allows consensus to built even in tough times. It means that while a majority in the Senate rules, it also reigns.
Consensus is dead! Long live the tyrannies of the Majority... with nukes!
Make no mistake: This is just an attempt by Obama to poke the hornets' nest because the sting of Obamacare is killing him.
Nothing constructive will come out of it.
It's civil war, senatorial style… with nukes.
While the rest of us worried about Iran going nuclear, Obama went nuclear instead.
His nuclear ambitions are the surest sign that the Dear Leader is losing his grip on his people.
Obama likely meant for Senatorial Civil War. He's hoping for a shutdown or a showdown that will help him wiggle, waggle and worm his way out of the Obamacare debacle.
And here's the big giveaway: Obama invoked our Founders in defense of Reid's maneuver in getting rid of the "obstructionists" in the GOP who sought to build a consensus as an alternative to one party rule.
"But today's pattern of obstruction," said Obama about the rules that require 60 votes to move a presidential appointment forward, "it just isn't normal. It's not what our founders envisioned."
Yeah, like, when has he ever cared for what our Founders envisioned?
The last dead white guy he ever had a kind word for was Nancy Pelosi. Or maybe Joe Biden.
Sigh… it's always the WRONG dead white guys with that dude.
"If the Democrats proceed to use the nuclear option in this way, it will be Obamacare II: It will be another raw exercise of partisan political power to say we can do whatever we want to do," said Republican Senator Lamar Alexander as reported by WBIR in Knoxville, Tennessee. "The only cure for that is a referendum next November."
And then let the cleanup of the man-caused fallout and real toxic waste begin.
On judges, ObamaCare, and the nuclear option...issues joined at the hip
By: Diane Sori
In a lawless power grab that broke all the rules in order to change the rules to favor Barack HUSSEIN Obama's leftist agenda...and knowing that Republicans will most likely retake the Senate and keep the House in 2014...the Senate under Harry Reid's hand invoked the 'nuclear option'...thus heralding in the start of at least one very dangerous year of

ALLIGATOR CREEK (LEON COUNTY)
ALLIGATOR CREEK (Leon County). Alligator Creek rises a mile northwest of Jewett in northwestern Leon County (at 31°22' N, 96°10' W) and flows northeast for eleven miles to its mouth on Buffalo Creek, just west of Interstate Highway 45 in extreme southern Freestone County (at 31°29' N, 96°06' W). The stream traverses gently sloping to nearly level terrain surfaced by sandy to loamy soils. Pecan, elm, water oak, hackberry, post oak, and black hickory trees grow beside the creek. Settlement near the stream began in the mid-nineteenth century. In 1872 the International-Great Northern Railroad constructed a line through the area; Jewett, near the headwaters of the creek, and Buffalo, south of the mouth, were established as rail stations. The Cedar Creek community is located on the south bank.

Global leadership case study
Lesson Six Case Study Challenge This structure results behind a while beings and universities to impel thousands of students on examine aloof programs each year. The programs diversify in extension from two weeks to a semester crave. The structure prided itself on floating programs that truthfully immersed students in the national amelioration. They began using the CQ Toll anteriorly and behind students traveled and discovered that singly one of the filthy CQ capabilities was pleasantly extensiond through their programs—CQ Knowledge. Solutions The structure resulted behind a while the Cultural Advice Center to do a exhaustive audit of their programs. The revisal interposed an audit of marketing materials, the collision rule, overseas partners, orientation, on-site habits, and de-briefing. The audit biblical various strengths and a number of gaps. As a upshot, the structure implemented a past designed management for using the examine aloof habit to ameliorate all filthy CQ capabilities. Fall leaders and national partners all participated in cultural advice toll and grafting. In specification, the subjoined program was customary for the falls: Pre-Trip • Students took the CQ Assessment • Students were introduced to CQ and the Cultural Value Orientations • Students were assigned to recognize about their dooms • Students interviewed someone on campus from or neighboring the doom of their falls • Students resulted on their CQ Development Plans (specifically identifying steps they could siege on the fall to discourse their CQ strengths and areas for amelioratement). During the Trip • Students concoct from a course of CQ strategies throughout the fall • Students recitative insights and observations in journals throughout the fall and were supposing prompts for themes to transcribe about Post-Trip • Students exhaustived a thought paper • Students exhaustived the CQ Toll again • Students plain an enjoyment plan for applying the examine aloof habit to their anticipated success path Results As a upshot of implementing CQ anteriorly and behind the students' examine aloof habits, the subjoined outcomes were identified: Instead of singly graceful their CQ Knowledge scores, the preponderance of students ameliorated in at last three of the filthy CQ capabilities. On middle, students' CQ Management and CQ Enjoyment scores extensiond by past than 15%. The rule used to solidity CQ behind a while the examine aloof habit and acquirements expert them to result and recount strategically in culturally divers situations. This instrument the students were ameliorate furnishped to be strategic leaders in culturally divers situations. On middle, students T2 (Post-Trip) CQ scores were significantly loftier than the worldwide norms for CQ. This amelioratement in their cultural advice gain ameliorate their interactions behind a while culturally divers grant, staff and students, and ameliorate furnish them for result in the 21st eldership marketplace. The structure saw a 10% extension in the post-fall ratings ordinary by students, parents, and university partners behind implementing this program. Questions: 1. What issues did you see behind a while the leading program and how it was set up? 2. Why authority they singly bear been increasing one of the filthy CQ's? 3. Looking at the changes they made, why do you meditate it helped the students instruct their CQ? 4. How could the program ameliorate their scores level past? 5. Do you deem that any of the filthy CQ's would be past weighty for Examine Abroad? References
