These objects hang from many balconies of multi-story buildings in urban Yangon. They can function as several things; a doorbell if you attach a bell to the end, and a mailbox if you hook a plastic bag around the end. Why not just use a normal doorbell, or get a conventional mailbox, you may ask? There isn't always electricity, and hence there isn't always a way to make the doorbell ring (despite the idea of a "bell" being something you can just hit to make work, the idea today is not that simple). Nobody wants to trudge up 6 flights of stairs in the dark only to find that the person who they wanted to see is not home - much easier to pull on a rope that has a bell attached to the top end of it so that if an apartment's inhabitants are home they will hear the bell and come to the balcony.
As for mailboxes, well, why incorporate something into a building in a dense urban environment where space is already very scarce when you can instead place it outside in the air, an uncrowded and relatively limitless space? Standard protocol dictates that a deliverer of any mail will give several courtesy rings on the ring-rope to notify inhabitants of a delivery.

Creep and Shrinkage Effects On Columns
Creep (CR) and Shrinkage (SH) forces due to long term prestress shortening produce imposed deformations on bridge columns at the bents. These deformations, in turn, produce column moments and shears which must be considered as part of the design process. The magnitude of the imposed deformations on the columns is in question and should be investigated by looking at various frame configurations and foundation types. Phenomena such as relaxation and foundation flexibility can reduce the effects of these forces and should be quantified.

A framework for developing word fragment completion tasksHuman Resource Management Review (2013)
To broaden our understanding of the person-based phenomena that impact organizational behavior, researchers are increasingly making use of implicit measures. Explicit measures tap affect, attitudes, and self-concepts that are accessible to introspective awareness, which are sometimes unreliable or distorted by response biases. In contrast, implicit measures assess mental content and processes that operate outside awareness. Unfortunately, the ad hoc manner in which implicit measures are sometimes developed is problematic. As a way of improving research on implicit content and processes, we present a detailed and practical framework for developing one type of implicit measure: word fragment completion tasks. Such tasks have been successfully used to measure a variety of individual difference variables in previous organizational research. Our framework draws on previous research and well understood psychometric principles to describe a process for creating reliable and valid word fragment completion tasks.

Allan Gordon Bell
Level: High School
The program notes give some insight into the poetic ideas embedded in
Simulacra. In this work, Bell uses a clear, strong set of chords of
double-stopped chords to separate each section of the music:
Design a "composition flow chart". With a partner, listen to the piece several times. Draw a flowchart of the main ideas of the piece, using both musical language (ie., staccato passages,) and non-musical language (ie., sounds like an eagle cry). The chords shown above enter at different points throughout the music, and help to reveal the form and structure of the piece. On your listening chart, use the chords as a signpost - every time they enter, there is something new coming in the music. Try to make it fit on one sheet of 8&1/2 X 11 inch paper.


Welcome to Personal Backup X8
About Personal Backup
Intego Personal Backup is a comprehensive backup solution for Mac OS X, protecting you from data loss by making copies of your documents, applications, and system files onto external media.
Intego Personal Backup can back up your files to most media, including:
 - Partitions or volumes on your hard drive
 - External hard drives
 - Removable media (such as USB key drives)
 - Optical media (such as recordable CDs or DVDs)
 - Network volumes
 - AirPort disks (hard disks connected to Apple's AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule base station)
 - An iPod (if it offers hard disk mode)
 - Disk images
At its simplest, backing up files with Personal Backup requires dragging and dropping a couple of folders and clicking the Backup button. For more complex tasks, Personal Backup's advanced mode lets you create backup scripts that perform multiple actions, and that can run on predetermined schedules.
About Backups
Personal Backup performs the following operations:
One common backup strategy is to make a copy of all your files when you first run Personal Backup. Then on each subsequent run, you direct the program to copy only those files that have changed since the last backup. This is called an "incremental" backup. (Don't worry - Personal Backup makes these easy.)
A bootable backup copies a volume with Mac OS X on it to a second hard disk so the new location can act as a startup disk. The bootable backup process creates an exact duplicate of the source, so the destination can function exactly as the source. If you have a system problem on your Mac, you can connect the backup disk, restart your Mac while holding down the Option key, select the backup disk and start up your Mac. You can copy all the user files on your Mac to a safe location, then "restore" the bootable backup to your Mac by performing a bootable backup in the opposite direction. You'll then be up and running without having to reinstall Mac OS X, its system updates, and your own applications.
Backup Decisions
Before you implement your backup plan, determine four things:
 - Source: Which files will I back up?
 - Destination: Where will these backup files be stored?
 - Archives: How long will I keep backup files?
The destination for your backups could be on the same device as the source, although we recommend you use an external device for all backups except the most casual (and insecure). The problem with the source and destination existing on the same device is that a problem with that device (such as a hard drive crash) could easily destroy both your originals and your backups, leaving you with nothing.
Instead, we recommend you make backups to another device, such as a CD, DVD, or external hard drive. (Note that high-capacity external hard drives are relatively inexpensive.) To save space (and copying time over a network), Personal Backup can make incremental backups that replace only those files that have changed or been created since the last backup.
We recommend you take the total size of your source files and budget at least twice as much space on your destination disk. This ensures that there is enough room for the many files that change from one backup to the next. If you are merely making a clone of your hard disk, however, you can use an external hard disk that is the same size as your internal disk.
When you use removable media (such as CDs or DVDs), Personal Backup will let your backups span multiple discs, asking you to insert a new disc as each one fills up. In this way you have a (theoretically) infinitely big destination: all you need is more discs! However, such media can become inconvenient for very large backups, such as those of your entire Mac, as you'd have to attend to the backup and switch out disks every few minutes.
Finally, it's a good idea to create a bootable backup of your Mac OS X startup volume on an external hard drive in case you suffer major disk problems or cannot start up your Mac for other reasons. Then, if problems occur, you can restart your Mac from this disk and get to work immediately.
Using Scripts to Automate Backups
Regardless of whether you create a backup, synchronization, or bootable backup, the specific details of your session are called a "script". (You don't need a script to restore files, however.)
There are three advantages to using scripts. First, they ensure that you back up the same files, in the same way, every time; second, scripts can trigger actions from other programs and Mac OS X; third, Personal Backup lets you schedule scripts to run periodically without requiring your attention.
For example, you might create a script that does the following every day at 5 pm:
 1. Selects all spreadsheet documents that are under 20 MB;
 2. Scans them with Intego VirusBarrier X6;
 3. Backs them up, keeping only the two latest versions, then;
 4. Shuts down your Mac.
Your First Backup
Making your first backup is simple. First, launch Intego Personal Backup; there are three ways to do this:
Navigate to your Applications folder in the Finder, then, double-click the Personal Backup icon.
Or, from the Intego menu, choose Personal Backup > Open Personal Backup….
Or, click the Personal Backup icon in your Dock.
If you haven't created any scripts already in a previous version of Personal Backup, the first time you launch the program it displays a window with three default scripts, a backup, bootable backup, and a synchronization script, none of which have source, destination or options defined.
To create a first backup, click the "untitled backup script" to select it. Next, add your source. To do this, drag its folder - that is, the one containing files you want to back up - from the Finder to the area labeled Click to choose Source. (You can also click in that area and navigate to the source folder through Mac OS X's file selection window.)
Do the same for the backup's destination.
The window will now show which folder you intend to back up, and where they're going.
Then click the Play button, which looks like a right-pointing triangle labeled Back Up.

Nine-Week Shift
Emily Walker, Co-Editor-In-Chief
For years, schools in our district have used a six-week grading period. However, FISD has decided to shift secondary schools into a nine-week schedule in hopes to better students' education experience starting in the 2019-2020 school year.
There are a few changes that will happen to the school year. Each school year will have two nine-weeks per semester, with a total of four grading periods for the year. Another change is that IPR (Interim Progress Reports) will still come out every three weeks but now there will be two every grading period before the final grade.
This change in schedule will have no effect on school day length, holidays, or STAAR/other state and national testing.
FISD has stated the reason for this change is to allow students more time to learn the material before they are tested. This will also allow more time and flexibility for teachers to teach lessons and input grades.
Overall, this change is meant to benefit students and create a smoother learning environment.

Singapore Changi Airport is a testament to efficiency and convenience, consistently ranked among the world's busiest and most streamlined airports.
With over 70 million passengers traversing its terminals annually, it has earned its reputation for seamless and rapid transfers. However, before you take that one-hour transit time for granted, several crucial considerations exist.
- 1 The One-Hour Mark: Minimum Transit Time
- 2 One-Hour Transit: Is It Enough for You?
- 3 Strategies for a Successful 1-Hour Transit
- 4 In Conclusion
- 5 FAQs
- 5.1 1. Is the minimum recommended transit time of 50 minutes inclusive of the time needed to clear security checks?
- 5.2 2. What should I do if my connecting flight is on a different airline?
- 5.3 3. Can I use the shuttle bus service to travel between terminals?
- 5.4 4. What if my first flight is delayed?
- 5.5 5. Are there any specific tips for travelers with limited mobility or special medical needs when attempting a one-hour transit?
The One-Hour Mark: Minimum Transit Time
Singapore Changi Airport's bare minimum transit time recommended is 50 minutes. This implies that if your connecting flight is scheduled within 50 minutes of arrival, your transition should go off without a hitch. Nevertheless, some nuances deserve your attention:
- Airline Consistency: The transition should be smooth if your connecting flight operates under the same airline. This eliminates the need for immigration and customs clearance, saving you an extra 30 to 60 minutes.
- Terminal Cohesion: Your connecting flight must depart from the same terminal. Differing terminals entail a shuttle bus journey between them, adding 10 to 15 minutes to your transit.
- Punctuality Matters: The punctuality of your arriving and departing flights cannot be emphasized enough. A delay in your first flight could jeopardize your chances of making the second.
One-Hour Transit: Is It Enough for You?
The adequacy of one-hour transit hinges on various factors:
- Travel Experience: A one-hour connection might be feasible for seasoned travelers familiar with the intricacies of transiting airports.
- Baggage Considerations: Travelers with checked baggage must allocate additional time for baggage claims and recheck their bags for the next flight.
- Health Considerations: Individuals with mobility constraints or medical issues should budget extra time to navigate the airport comfortably.
- Budget Constraints: Those on tight budgets might want to avoid prolonged stays at the airport, as additional time might incur costs for lounges or other amenities.
Strategies for a Successful 1-Hour Transit
If you're determined to navigate a one-hour transit in Singapore, consider the following strategies:
- Airline Alliance: Opt for flights within the same airline alliance to avoid the immigration and customs process.
- Flight Status Monitoring: Stay abreast of your connecting flight's status before departing. Preemptively rebooking the second leg could be a lifesaver if your initial flight is delayed.
- Early Arrival: Arrive at the airport beforehand to facilitate check-in, security procedures, and locating your gate.
- Enjoy Airport Facilities: Singapore Changi Airport boasts an array of lounges and dining establishments. Utilize these facilities to relax or grab a meal while awaiting your next flight.
- Anticipate Delays: Prudent planning involves considering the possibility of delays. If your flight faces unforeseen setbacks, promptly communicate with your airline to rebook your connecting flight.
For most travelers, a one-hour transit time at Singapore Changi Airport proves sufficient for making a connecting flight. Nevertheless, it's crucial to recognize that multiple factors can influence your transition time.
Heeding the insights above and implementing the suggested strategies heighten your likelihood of a seamless transition and an enjoyable stay in Singapore. Remember, while the airport is efficient, thoughtful preparation remains the key to a stress-free journey.
1. Is the minimum recommended transit time of 50 minutes inclusive of the time needed to clear security checks?
Yes, the 50-minute minimum transit time recommendation at Singapore Changi Airport encompasses the time required to go through security checks, passport control, and other necessary procedures. However, it's important to remember that this timeframe assumes all conditions are optimal and there are no unforeseen delays.
2. What should I do if my connecting flight is on a different airline?
If your connecting flight is on a different airline, you will likely need to go through immigration and customs clearance, which can take an additional 30 to 60 minutes. In this case, more than a one-hour transit time might be required. A more extended layover is advisable to account for these extra formalities and ensure you take advantage of your next flight.
3. Can I use the shuttle bus service to travel between terminals?
Yes, Singapore Changi Airport offers a shuttle bus service to travel between terminals. However, this service can add 10 to 15 minutes to your transit time. If your connecting flight departs from a different airport, it's crucial to factor in this additional time when considering a one-hour transit.
4. What if my first flight is delayed?
If your first flight is delayed, it can significantly impact your chances of making your connecting flight within a one-hour transit time. Delays are expected in air travel, and a delay in your arrival flight could leave you with minimal time to get to your connecting gate. It's recommended to keep track of your flight's status and communicate with airport staff if you foresee difficulties making your connection.
5. Are there any specific tips for travelers with limited mobility or special medical needs when attempting a one-hour transit?
One-hour transit is challenging for travelers with limited mobility or special medical needs. It's essential to allow extra time to move through the airport comfortably. Consider requesting assistance from airport personnel, such as using airport wheelchairs or getting help with transporting your luggage. To ensure a smooth journey, communicate your requirements to the airline, and they can provide the necessary support.

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

Creator: Meghan Zigmond (_USER_)
Suggested Grade Level: Elementary
Subject Area: Math
"In Meghan's first grade class, students needed to demonstrate their understanding of numbers from 1-100 by showing the standard and expanded forms of these numbers as well as a picture to represent the concept. Her students also needed to demonstrate their understanding of the greater than and less than concept and symbols. To do this, each student chose two numbers to compare and then used an iPad plus the Number Pieces Basic app to build their numbers with base ten blocks. They then took a screen shot of each number and brought it into Popplet in order to illustrate the concepts of greater than/less than as well as their number sentences. Her students completed this project in small groups at a math station table. It provided a great opportunity for discussions and observations on students' true understandings.
To see details on the lesson plan, photos, and step by step directions to create on Meghan's Blog.
Extending the Project
Popplet Lite could be used in conjunction with Number Pieces Basic to create any number of graphic organizers related to place value and number sense. Another option would be to combine Popplet with a different math resource app such as GeoBoards to illustrate difference concepts. This project can further be extended by adding an app like Explain Everything, Educreations, ScreenChomp, or Draw & Tell where students could then explain their thinking. For students who do not have access to iPads, a similar activity could be created using the web-based version of Popplet (popplet.com).

running time 32:22
The nature of this connected, and potentially endless, source of imagery lends itself to an automated animation exploring level after level, flying through real-world time and events faster than they can be processed by the human eye. This animation has become known as the Gridcosm Flythrough.
In the decade-plus that Gridcosm has existed, over 24000 individual images have been created, with an average time elapsing between creation of only 4 hours. Additionally, textual data has amassed in the form of a freeform text block which accompanies each piece, as well as user-generated tagging of each level's content.
Gridcosm Information Overload is an attempt to explore over 10 years of data, accidently generated as a by-product of this perpetual art project. Imagery is explored in terms of color values, relative position, ordering of contribution, and more. Individual artists (denoted by their three-letter IDs) are compared by localized participation levels. Overall activity is mapped against scaled real-time to highlight both lulls and frenzied growth. In short, Gridcosm Information Overload is an experimental documentary, automatically generated, to visualize and pay homage to the hours upon hours of artistic energy spent by the 300 people who have made Gridcosm the amazing project that it is today. It is not intended to be digested all at once, but rather represent the scale of the project and the huge amount of work by the participating artists by overwhelming the senses and beckoning for a slower and more detailed exploration by the viewer.

An Odd Boston Common Monument
Usually, in public places, especially those with a lot of history, monuments often commemorate an important person or event: the Lincoln Memorial, various war memorials, and so on. The Boston Common is no different, with several large memorials featured prominently. And then there's this odd looking gravestone-like monument just kinda off to the side of the Common (nearest to Beacon Street), which I had never noticed until a couple of weeks ago:
What this all about? Well:
Using the Google, we learn the following about the Oneida Football Club of Boston:
The Oneida Football Club, founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1862, was the first organized team to play any kind of football in the United States. The game played by the club, known as the "Boston game", was an informal local variant that predated the codification of rules for soccer, rugby, or American football. The team, which consisted of graduates of Boston's elite preparatory schools, played on Boston Common from 1862–1865, during which time they reportedly never lost a game or even gave up a single point.
Thousands of years from now, archaeologists are going to go nuts trying to figure out the significance of this.

An alarming new study indicates that those who are socially isolated or lonely are much more likely to die early than those with good social connections.
A major new discovery about loneliness reveals that it's not merely an unpleasant emotional state, it can actually kill you. A meta-analyses of two large studies involving millions of participants found that people who are lonely or socially isolated tend to die a lot earlier than those who don't suffer from these afflictions, and the different was absolutely huge.
The first study used in the analysis involved 3 million participants, and researchers found that those with a greater social connection had a 50 percent reduced risk of an early death. The second study, which involved 3.4 million individuals, also found the loneliness had a great impact on untimely deaths.
Scientists at Brigham Young University believe that this shows the importance of social connection for human beings, and the findings are worrying because tens of millions of older adults in the United States suffer from social isolation, making this a potential public health crisis.
One reason loneliness may cause an early death is how it impacts day to day lives. A King's College London study in May found that loneliness in young adults is linked to poor sleep quality, which can in turn lead to health problems down the road.
"The study authors suggest a number of biological processes which may explain the association between loneliness and sleep quality, including a heightened biological stress response," according to a statement from the college. "Previous research suggests that loneliness is associated with changes in circulating cortisol, indicating elevated activation of the stress response system. Physiological arousal resulting from this process may play a role in the disrupted sleep of lonely individuals."


text: World Day for Animals in Laboratories (also known as World Lab Animal Day) is observed on 24 April. The surrounding week has come to be known as "World Week for Animals in Laboratories". The National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) describe the day as an "international day for commemoration" for animals in laboratories. This Day was established in 1979 by the British NAVS and since then also has attracted attention from scientific groups defending rights of animals in research. Today the event is marked by demonstrations and protests by groups opposed to the use of animals in research. The term "laboratory animal" appeared at the end of XIX century due to the rapid development of experimental biology and medicine. Today laboratory animals are used for modeling pathological processes and testing drugs, cosmetics, cigarettes, food additives, household chemicals. Every year hundreds of mice, rabbits, monkeys and dogs are killed in laboratories. Moreover, animals are used in training of future doctors and veterinarians. That is why the World Day of Laboratory Animals was founded to draw global attention to this problem.

Buffer Sizing in 802.11 Wireless Mesh Networks
The authors analyze the problem of buffer sizing for TCP flows in 802.11-based Wireless Mesh Networks. Their objective is to maintain high network utilization while providing low queueing delays. The problem is complicated by the time-varying capacity of the wireless channel as well as the random access mechanism of 802.11 MAC protocol. While arbitrarily large buffers can maintain high network utilization, this results in large queueing delays. Such delays may affect TCP stability characteristics, and also increase queueing delays for other flows (including real-time flows) sharing the buffer.

Mount Cayley volcanic field
|Mount Cayley volcanic field|
|District||New Westminster Land District|
|Part of||Garibaldi Volcanic Belt|
|Length||31 km (19 mi)|
|Width||6 km (4 mi)|
|Geology||Lava flows, stratovolcanoes,
The extent of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt showing the location of the Mount Cayley volcanic field (here referred as the "Mount Cayley area") and its volcanic features.
The Mount Cayley volcanic field is a remote volcanic zone on the South Coast of British Columbia, Canada, stretching 31 km (19 mi) from the Pemberton Icefield to the Squamish River. It forms a segment of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, the Canadian portion of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which extends from Northern California to southwestern British Columbia. Most of the Cayley volcanoes were formed during periods of volcanism under sheets of glacial ice throughout the last glacial period. These subglacial eruptions formed steep, flat-topped volcanoes and subglacial lava domes, most of which have been entirely exposed by deglaciation. However, at least two volcanoes predate the last glacial period and both are highly eroded. The field gets its name from Mount Cayley, the largest and most persistent volcano, located at the southern end of the Powder Mountain Icefield. This icefield covers much of the central portion of the volcanic field and is one of the several glacial fields in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains.
Eruptions along the length of the field began between 1.6 and 5.3 million years ago. At least 23 eruptions have occurred throughout its eruptive history. This volcanic activity ranged from effusive to explosive, with magma compositions ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic. Because the Mount Cayley volcanic field has a high elevation and consists of a cluster of mostly high altitude, non-overlapping volcanoes, subglacial activity is likely to have occurred under less than 800 m (2,600 ft) of glacial ice. The style of this glaciation promoted meltwater escape during eruptions. The steep profile of the volcanic field and its subglacial landforms support this hypothesis. As a result, volcanic features in the field that interacted with glacial ice lack rocks that display evidence of abundant water during eruption, such as hyaloclastite and pillow lava.
Of the entire volcanic field, the southern portion has the most known volcanoes. Here, at least 11 of them are situated on top of a long narrow mountain ridge and in adjacent river valleys. The central portion contains at least five volcanoes situated at the Powder Mountain Icefield. To the north, two volcanoes form a sparse area of volcanism. Many of these volcanoes were formed between 0.01 and 1.6 million years ago, some of which show evidence of volcanic activity in the past 10,000 years.

The Mount Cayley volcanic field formed as a result of the ongoing subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate under the North American Plate at the Cascadia subduction zone along the British Columbia Coast. This is a 1,094 km (680 mi) long fault zone running 80 km (50 mi) off the Pacific Northwest from Northern California to southwestern British Columbia. The plates move at a relative rate of over 10 mm (0.39 in) per year at an oblique angle to the subduction zone. Because of the very large fault area, the Cascadia subduction zone can produce large earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater. The interface between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates remains locked for periods of roughly 500 years. During these periods, stress builds up on the interface between the plates and causes uplift of the North American margin. When the plate finally slips, the 500 years of stored energy are released in a massive earthquake.
Unlike most subduction zones worldwide, there is no deep oceanic trench present along the continental margin in Cascadia. The reason is that the mouth of the Columbia River empties directly into the subduction zone and deposits silt at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, burying this large depression. Massive floods from prehistoric Glacial Lake Missoula during the Late Pleistocene also deposited large amounts of sediment into the trench. However, in common with other subduction zones, the outer margin is slowly being compressed, similar to a giant spring. When the stored energy is suddenly released by slippage across the fault at irregular intervals, the Cascadia subduction zone can create very large earthquakes, such as the magnitude 9.0 Cascadia earthquake on January 26, 1700. However, earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone are less common than expected and there is evidence of a decline in volcanic activity over the past few million years. The probable explanation lies in the rate of convergence between the Juan de Fuca and North American plates. These two tectonic plates currently converge 3 cm (1.2 in) to 4 cm (1.6 in) per year. This is only about half the rate of convergence from seven million years ago.
Scientists have estimated that there have been at least 13 significant earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone in the past 6,000 years. The most recent, the 1700 Cascadia earthquake, was recorded in the oral traditions of the First Nations people on Vancouver Island. It caused considerable tremors and a massive tsunami that traveled across the Pacific Ocean. The significant shaking associated with this earthquake demolished houses of the Cowichan Tribes on Vancouver Island and caused several landslides. Shaking due to this earthquake made it too difficult for the Cowichan people to stand, and the tremors were so lengthy that they were sickened. The tsunami created by the earthquake ultimately devastated a winter village at Pachena Bay, killing all the people that lived there. The 1700 Cascadia earthquake caused near-shore subsidence, submerging marshes and forests on the coast that were later buried under more recent debris.
Lying in the middle of the Mount Cayley volcanic field is a subglacial volcano named Slag Hill. At least two geological units compose the edifice. Slag Hill proper consists of andesite lava flows and small amounts of pyroclastic rock. Lying on the western portion of Slag Hill is a lava flow that likely erupted less than 10,000 years ago due to the lack of features indicating volcano-ice interactions. The Slag Hill flow-dominated tuya 900 m (3,000 ft) northeast of Slag Hill proper consists of a flat-topped, steep-sided pile of andesite. It protrudes through remnants of volcanic material erupted from Slag Hill proper, but it represents a separate volcanic vent due to its geographical appearance. This small subglacial volcano possibly formed between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago throughout the waning stages of the Fraser Glaciation.
Cauldron Dome, a subglacial volcano north of Mount Cayley, lies west of the Powder Mountain Icefield. Like Slag Hill, it is composed of two geological units. Upper Cauldron Dome is a flat-topped, oval-shaped pile of at least five andesite lava flows that resembles a tuya. The five andesite flows are columnar jointed and were likely extruded through glacial ice. The latest volcanic activity might have occurred between 10,000 and 25,000 years ago when this area was still influenced by glacial ice of the Fraser Glaciation. Lower Cauldron Dome, the youngest unit comprising the entire Cauldron Dome subglacial volcano, consists of a flat-topped, steep-sided pile of andesite lava flows 1,800 m (5,900 ft) long and a maximum thickness of 220 m (720 ft). These volcanics were extruded about 10,000 years ago during the waning stages of the Fraser Glaciation from a vent adjacent to upper Cauldron Dome that is currently buried under glacial ice.
Ring Mountain, a flow-dominated tuya lying at the northern portion of the Mount Cayley volcanic field, consists of a pile of at least five andesite lava flows lying on a mountain ridge. Its steep-sided flanks reach heights of 500 m (1,600 ft) and are composed of volcanic rubble. This makes it impossible to measure its exact base elevation or how many lava flows constitute the edifice. With a summit elevation of 2,192 m (7,192 ft), Ring Mountain had its last volcanic activity between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago when the Fraser Glaciation was close to its maximum. Northwest of Ring Mountain lies a minor andesite lava flow. Its chemistry is somewhat unlike other andesite flows comprising Ring Mountain, but it probably erupted from a volcanic vent adjacent to or at Ring Mountain. The part of it that lies higher in elevation contains some features that indicate lava-ice interactions, while the lower-elevation portion of it does not. Therefore, this minor lava flow was likely extruded after Ring Mountain formed but when glacial ice covered a broader area than it does to this day, and that the lava flowed beyond the region in which glacial ice existed at that time.
To the north lies Little Ring Mountain, another flow-dominated tuya lying at the northern portion of the Mount Cayley volcanic field. It consists of a pile of at least three


A semitropical island, Bermuda enjoys a mild climate; the term "Bermuda high" has come to mean sunny days and clear skies. The Gulf Stream, which flows between the island and North America, keeps the climate temperate. There's no rainy season, and no typical month of excess rain. Showers may be heavy at times, but the skies clear quickly.
Being farther north in the Atlantic than The Bahamas, Bermuda is much cooler in winter. Springlike temperatures prevail from mid-December to late March, with the average temperature ranging from 60° to 70°F (16°-21°C). Unless it rains, winter is fine for golf and tennis but not for swimming; it can be cool, and you may even need a sweater or a jacket. Water temperatures in winter are somewhat like the air temperature, ranging from about 66°F (19°C) in January to 75°F (24°C) through March. Scuba divers and snorkelers will find Bermuda's waters appreciably cooler than Caribbean waters in winter. From mid-November to mid-December and from late March to April, be prepared for unseasonable spurts of spring or summer weather.
In summer, the temperature rarely rises above 85°F (29°C). There's nearly always a cool breeze in the evening, but some hotels have air-conditioning. And local water temperatures can be as high as 86°F (30°C) during the summer -- warmer than many inshore and offshore Caribbean waters.
As a result, Bermuda's off season is the exact opposite of that in the Caribbean. It begins in December and lasts until about March 1. In general, hotels offer off-season rates, with discounts ranging from 20% to 60%. This is the time to go if you're traveling on a tight budget. During autumn and winter, many hotels also offer discounted package deals. Some smaller inns close for a couple of weeks or months at this period.
The Hurricane Season
This curse of the Caribbean, The Bahamas, and Bermuda lasts officially from June to November, but fewer tropical storms pound Bermuda than the U.S. mainland. Bermuda is also less frequently hit than islands in the Caribbean. Satellite forecasts are generally able to give adequate warning of any really dangerous weather. If you're concerned, check reports from the National Hurricane Center by visiting _URL_ and to find the current weather conditions in Bermuda To find the current weather conditions in Bermuda, and a 5-day forecast, go to Bermuda Weather at _URL_.
Bermuda observes the following public holidays: New Year's Day (Jan 1), Good Friday, Easter, Bermuda Day (May 24), the Queen's Birthday (first or second Mon in June), Cup Match Days (cricket; Thurs and Fri preceding first Mon in Aug), Labour Day (first Mon in Sept), Christmas Day (Dec 25), and Boxing Day (Dec 26). Public holidays that fall on a Saturday or Sunday are usually celebrated the following Monday.

Background: Diagnostic errors are the leading basis for malpractice claims in primary care, yet these errors are underidentified and understudied. Computerized methods used to screen for other types of errors (eg, medication related) have not been applied to diagnostic errors. Our objectives were to assess the feasibility of computerized screening to identify diagnostic errors in primary care and to categorize diagnostic breakdowns using a recently published taxonomy.
Methods: We used an algorithm to screen the electronic medical records of patients at a single hospital that is part of a closed health care system. A Structured Query Language-based program detected the presence of 1 of 2 mutually exclusive electronic screening criteria: screen 1, a primary care visit (index visit) followed by a hospitalization in the next 10 days; or screen 2, an index visit followed by 1 or more primary care, urgent care, or emergency department visits within 10 days. Two independent, blinded reviewers determined the presence or absence of diagnostic error through medical record review of visits with positive and negative screening results.
Results: Among screen 1 and 2 positive visits, 16.1% and 9.4%, respectively, were associated with a diagnostic error. The error rate was 4% in control cases that met neither screening criterion. The most common primary errors in the diagnostic process were failure or delay in eliciting information and misinterpretation or suboptimal weighing of critical pieces of data from the history and physical examination. The most common secondary errors were suboptimal weighing or prioritizing of diagnostic probabilities and failure to recognize urgency of illness or its complications.
Conclusions: Electronic screening has potential to identify records that may contain diagnostic errors in primary care, and its performance is comparable to screening tools for other types of errors. Future studies that validate these findings in other settings could provide improvement initiatives in this area.

What is UDF?
A User Defined Function is a custom function defined to perform transformation operations on Pyspark dataframes. Once defined it can be re-used with multiple dataframes. It can also be used as an alternative of for-loops for faster performance.
Why is UDF Needed?
UDF can be used to perform data transformation operations which are not already present in Pyspark built-in functionality. For instance, we have a column with string values and we need to create a new column with string values reversed. There is no built-in function to perform this operation and we need to write a custom function. UDF can be used as an…

We often get asked why we believe horses are the vessel through which so much positive learning can occur. Basically, why did we pick horses? For people who may only know or understand horses through cowboy movies or popular culture references, education through horses may seem like a strange concept. The fact of the matter is, horses are much more sensitive and intelligent creatures than they are often given credit for.
- Horses let us be ourselves.
- Horses don't set standards.
- Horses empower us.
- Horses help us feel connected.
- Horses help us be cooperative.
- Horses allow us to care.
- Horses help us to feel part of something greater than ourselves.
- Horses help us live in the present and just "be".
- Horses help us live from the heart.
The point of the article was that horses allow us to be human and connect with the heart of what really drives us. This is a valid point and an article worth the entire read, but it also connects back to why we do what we do at HorseDream Canada. The HorseDream Canada World Tours were created with the knowledge that equine assisted learning is valuable because of how much knowledge horses hold. Most of the reasons listed are also transferable skills that help improve one's life both personally and professionally.
For example, by "letting us be ourselves" and live in the present, a horse reflects our strengths and weaknesses back upon ourselves. This is a powerful learning experience that can be used to strengthen areas in which we need improvement. Through these qualities that the horse possesses, we are able to learn a lot about the qualities we possess too.

Jud Lew
Occupation Fencing master
Ethnicity Jewish (?)
Movement Liechtenauer Tradition
Language Early New High German
Concordance by Michael Chidester
Translations Traducción castellano
Jud Lew is the name (or possibly pseudonym) of a 15th century German fencing master. The appellation "Jude" seems to signify that he was Jewish, though Jude was also a surname of some non-Jewish families, and he seems to have stood in the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer, though he was not included in Paulus Kal's ca. 1470 list of the members of the Fellowship of Liechtenauer.[1]
Lew is often erroneously credited with authoring the Cod. I.6.4º.3, an anonymous compilation of various fencing treatises created in the 1460s. In fact, his name is only associated with a single section of that book,[2] a gloss of Johannes Liechtenauer's Recital on mounted fencing that is one branch of the so-called Pseudo-Peter von Danzig gloss. Though some versions of Martin Huntfeltz's treatise on armored fencing are also attributed to Lew, this is almost certainly an error.[3] By convention, the gloss of Liechtenauer's Recital on long sword fencing that generally accompanies this mounted gloss is also attributed to Lew.
Early on in its history, the Pseudo-Peter von Danzig gloss seems to have split into at least three branches, and no definite copies of the unaltered original are known to survive. The gloss of Sigmund ain Ringeck also seems to be related to this work, due to the considerable overlap in text and contents, but it is currently unclear if Ringeck's gloss is based on that of pseudo-Danzig or if they both derive from an even earlier original gloss (or even if Ringeck and pseudo-Danzig are the same author and the "Ringeck" gloss should be considered a fourth branch).
Branch A, first attested in the Augsburg version (1450s) and comprising the majority of extant copies, has more plays overall than Branch B but generally shorter descriptions in areas of overlap. It also glosses only Liechtenauer's Recital on long sword and mounted fencing; in lieu of a gloss of Liechtenauer's short sword, it is generally accompanied by the short sword teachings of Andre Liegniczer and Martin Huntfeltz (or, in the case of the 1512 Vienna II, Ringeck's short sword gloss). Apart from the Augsburg, the other principal text in Branch A is the Salzburg version (1491), which was copied independently[4] and also incorporates twelve paragraphs from Ringeck's gloss and nineteen paragraphs from an unidentified third source. Branch A was redacted by Paulus Hector Mair (three mss., 1540s), Lienhart Sollinger (1556), and Joachim Meyer (1570), which despite being the latest is the cleanest extant version and was likely either copied directly from the original or created by comparing multiple versions to correct their errors. It was also one of the bases for Johannes Lecküchner's gloss on the Messer in the late 1470s.
Branch B, attested first in the Rome version (1452), is found in only four manuscripts; it tends to feature slightly longer descriptions than Branch A, but includes fewer plays overall. Branch B glosses Liechtenauer's entire Recital, including the short sword section, and may therefore be considered more complete than Branch A; it also differs from Branch A in that three of the four known copies are illustrated to some extent, where none in the other branch are. The Krakow version (1510-20) seems to be an incomplete (though extensively illustrated) copy taken from the Rome,[5] while Augsburg II (1564) collects only the six illustrated wrestling plays from the Krakow. Even more anomalous is the Glasgow version (1508), consisting solely of a nearly complete redaction of the short sword gloss (assigning it to Branch B), which is appended to the opening paragraphs of Ringeck's gloss of the same section; since it accompanies Ringeck's long sword and mounted fencing glosses, a possible explanation is that the scribe lacked a complete copy of Ringeck and tried to fill in the deficit with another similar text.
Branch C is first attested in the Vienna version (1480s). It is unclear whether it was derived independently from the original, represents an intermediate evolutionary step between Branches A and B, or was created by simply merging copies of the other branches together. The structure and contents of this branch very closely align with Branch B, lacking most of the unique plays of Branch A and including the gloss of the short sword, but the actual text is more consistent with that of Branch A (though not identical). The other substantial copy of Branch C is the Augsburg version II (1553), which was created by Paulus Hector Mair based on the writings of Antonius Rast, and which segues into the text of Ringeck's gloss for the final eighteen paragraphs. A substantial fragment of Branch C is present in five additional 16th century manuscripts alongside the illustrated treatise of Jörg Wilhalm Hutter; one of these, Glasgow II (1533) assigns the text a much earlier origin, stating that it was devised by one Nicolaüs in 1489. This branch has received the least attention and is currently the least understood.
While all branches were originally presented in a single concordance in the pseudo-Peter von Danzig article, the differences between them are extensive enough that they merit separate consideration. Thus, Branch A has been placed here on the page of Jud Lew, to whom is seemingly attributed the gloss on mounted fencing, while Branch B has been retained on the main pseudo-Danzig page and branch C is now on the Nicolaüs Augsburger page.

Suppose a test particle undergoes circular motion in Schwarzschild spacetime, and not necessarily at the freefall rate. We assume its worldline is "centred on " so to speak, or to be technical we could speak of the integral of a Killing vector field which is timelike at the given location: this also includes the case of no rotation at all but that's fine. For simplicity, orient Schwarzschild-Droste coordinates so the motion coincides with the "equator", and also with increasing -coordinate. Note the -coordinate is constant. Define the angular velocity as the coordinate ratio
assumed to be constant. We can solve for the 4-velocity of the particle:
which by definition is also the "time" vector of the particle's orthonormal frame. We must have
for the motion to remain timelike. Note that while freefall circular motion requires to be outside the photon sphere, for accelerated circular motion any is permissible.
Now for the "space" vectors, it is natural, given our orientation of coordinates, to define two of them as simply normalised coordinate vectors:
This fixes the final vector in the tetrad up to orientation (overall factor), so we choose the orientation with positive -component:
Then as required, where is the Kronecker delta function. The particle's 4-acceleration is given by the covariant derivative. I omit the result, but only the -component is nonzero, which is not unexpected. The length of the 4-acceleration vector is the magnitude of proper acceleration:
For the special case of geodesic motion the acceleration must vanish, so, and the factor reduces to. See Hartle ( §9.3) for a very different derivation of this. For the expression reduces to the familiar acceleration of a static observer.

Tillerson, Mnuchin Urged to Use Sanctions Under Global Magnitsky Act
Washington, D.C. – Human Rights First today called on Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin to robustly implement sanctions in 2018 under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act. The call came in a letter, organized by Human Rights First, from 29 human rights and anti-corruption non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
The organizations participating in today's letter welcomed the administration's 52 sanctions designations under the Act in 2017 and its issuance of Executive Order 13818. Both of these actions strengthen the U.S. government's ability to hold human rights abusers and corrupt actors accountable for their actions. The letter also: expressed disappointment that the administration's designations weren't made in key regions and countries, such as the Middle East; urged the administration to produce designations that address key countries and areas of concern; and noted that NGOs will provide information to assist the administration in issuing additional sanctions designations moving forward.
"[W]e were disappointed to see that sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act were not imposed against human rights abusers and corrupt actors in many countries and regions of the world in which such crimes have been well documented," wrote the groups. "As your departments move forward in implementing Global Magnitsky sanctions in 2018, we urge you to avoid selective application of this powerful tool, as the impacts of human rights abuses and corruption referenced in EO 13818 are no less destructive and destabilizing in countries friendly to the United States than in those that are not."
Since the Global Magnitsky Act's enactment, Human Rights First has coordinated the efforts of dozens of NGOs to advocate for its implementation, and has led efforts to assist the U.S. government in assembling viable case files on potential sanctions designees.
"[W]e applaud your respective staffs for their demonstrated commitment to institutionalizing the use of a new, complex, and important diplomatic tool in its first year of existence, and for your departments' meaningful outreach to civil society," added the groups in closing. "In 2018, we will continue to assemble and turn over to the U.S. government information documenting human rights abuses and corrupt acts, while advocating for sanctions against the perpetrators of these crimes wherever they reside."
The Global Magnitsky Act is the most comprehensive human rights and anti-corruption sanctions tool in U.S. history. Under the act, the U.S. government may sanction foreign individuals and entities found to have committed gross violations of human rights or to have engaged in significant acts of corruption by subjecting designees to asset freezes and visa restrictions. On December 21, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13818, entitled "Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption." The order expands the scope of who may be sanctioned under the Global Magnitsky Act, giving the U.S. government the power to sanction any foreign person found to be responsible for or complicit in serious human rights abuses and acts of corruption.

Why do tents leak when touched?
tents leak when touched
this is a major problem currently in the world of camping.
mainly because the conversations are massive interfere with something you find it is becoming very widespread, and it is very almost mistaken for a leak.
leaked a while these days of very, very waterproof, it is very unlikely that they have been disclosed admits that there will be occasional problems when you have a real leak but probably condensation is 90% – 99 % of the time. Actually this due to humidity or water inside the attempted.
so, the principle is really because we now use more fabrics that would like expect durable and certainly easier to faster and drier.
so, it's just basically makes things a lot simpler if you got a wet tent, you could dry it faster.
what is fundamentally the customers and us as retailers want to get out of the tent to sell.
something that is faster and easier, and it is you see it certainly with inflatable tents like this here.
in the past years, it has been absorbing polyester, poly-cotton material, which is naturally breathable as well as raincoat.
so, the joys are when you get humidity in tents naturally on us, opens through heat let air pass-through it is much cooler inside. It helps again with condensation.
why do tents leak when touched
condensation may occur whether someone is in a tent or not. just brings you down to temperature change outside and even less when we inside a little and exhaling the materials we use now look more like polyester, so it is a non-breathable material on which they put a PU coating make waterproof.
the problem with that, as I said, it becomes very waterproof and, in some cases, when you can take something like this kind of him is hard 6000 mils close the head for this particular tent, therefore essentially what this means is that they put a material down put around sitting on top fill the water until they get three pins or drops of water fall through and that is when they define what is waterproof it so that it can take six meters of water put under pressure on this material.
why do tents leak when touched
The Department of Defense classifies waterproof as approximate or seven eight hundred six thousand meters you said astronomically raincoat but like I said, it's not them breathing so the problem is even though what will not come in humidity is not going out.
so, when you find yourself here again with the tempo change you find the windows how I sort to have missed it or there are droplets along the roof that goes down purely condensation is not really water coming through the tent itself.
what do you it's when you have a lot waterproof material like this, they also need to put it together and therefore so they make holes sew holes in what they are doing now you are going to make this waterproof do they heat weld the seams they put on a clear heating tape while the joined and this prevents the water from coming in.
a person will, in fact exhale in a night's sleep a pint of water, so you are talking about five hundred and sixty milliliters ago there are around, and so it is a lot of water, your exhale apply overnight to sleep.
I mean a 500-milliliter bottle of water so a person alone in a night's sleep in any tent, I'm good to breathe out bats.
So wear mine, these are eight-man tents and you can have eight people inside by about would say six people for six beautiful beds in the back, and the six people asked about a little more free liters of the water. a lot of water just one single night and that's why again using non-breathable materials make even more noticeable condensation.
Now because we have zoning groundsheets which is still a beautiful thing and it's something that makes a lot of camping more than a luxury process of luxury items for.
Do like you everyone really wants, and this essentially intensifies, and you make it more visible condensation and you find more water in your tent these days because it's has nowhere to escape.
Years ago, when we start the material if you discerning the groundsheet is like a water would literally come finalize the point, then exit the tent because it is only in the groundsheets.
Now he collects it remains, and it is a lot more notable and as said the water would be always naturally try to find the lowest so point when you find something like.
this is a faithful tent naturally what you will find that he will try to get to the lowest point for you to notice you find it around the base of the beams as it is lowest points or again he will try and drip the point of suspension, so never lanterns rooms pull anything, so he won't actually try and come and find the land.
one thing manufacturers are now trying to do to overcome the problem is that they put more ventilation panels in you see it more in the new tents.
you mainly get along just to give air circulation to try and keep it as cool and how the condensation as possible.
now the tents have passed always had a ventilation panel above the bedroom. it's always the case now, but still, as I said with sewn into sheets of soil moisture is trap even more, than it was last or ten years.
so this is where you know something like the ventilation panels on the sides are a primordial absolute that you have opened it even if it is a cold day because that's just going to help with condensation.
Many tents leak by accidentally touching them from the inside.
This phenomenon can be extremely annoying, although there are explanations and a few ways to solve the problem.
There are two main factors that keep water from coming out of your tent: hydrostatic head and surface tension.
While "HH" is a characteristic of the tent, surface tension is simply the reason water forms a mass of droplets which cannot pass through the pores of the fibers.
However, when you touch the tent from the inside, you increase the chances of breaking this surface tension, leaving the hydrostatic head as the only water repellent.
The best way to overcome this problem, in my opinion, is to limit the occupied interior space. For this, you can use a sleeping pad instead of a large mattress.
A different approach would be to get a larger tent, maybe 1 to 2 people larger. This way, you decrease the chances of hitting it by increasing the potential space.
Well, that would be it. I hope my article raised some solutions and answered your questions.

|Main use||Active ingredient||Manufacturer|
How does it work?
Daraprim tablets contain the active ingredient pyrimethamine, which is a type of medicine known as an antiprotozoal. It is mainly used in combination with sulfonamide antibiotics to treat an infection called toxoplasmosis.
Toxoplasmosis is caused by infection with a type of protozoal parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. Pyrimethamine works by stopping this parasite from reproducing once it is in the bloodstream. It does this by blocking the action of a compound that is found in the parasite. This compound is an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase that is involved in the reproduction of the parasite.
Dihydrofolate reductase normally converts folic acid into folinic acid in the parasite, which is a step essential for the parasite to produce new genetic material (DNA). New DNA is necessary for the parasite to reproduce. By blocking it's production, pyrimethamine prevents the parasites from reproducing and increasing in number.
Pyrimethamine can also be used for the treatment or prevention of malaria, which is a disease caused by various types of parasites known as Plasmodium. Plasmodium are carried by mosquitoes and are injected into the bloodstream during a bite from an infected mosquito. Pyrimethamine stops malaria parasites from increasing in numbers once in the blood. However, malaria parasites are becoming more and more resistant to pyrimethamine worldwide.
Daraprim is licensed to prevent malaria, but due to resistance it is not suitable for travellers to take to prevent malaria. It is only suitable for preventing malaria in people who live in areas where pyrimethamine is known to be effective.
Pyrimethamine, in combination with an antibiotic called sulfadoxine, can be used to treat a specific type of malaria called falciparum malaria. This combination of medicines is sometimes known as Fansidar and is only available from special order manufacturers or specialist importing companies. Daraprim is not licensed for treating malaria.
What is it used for?
- Treatment of toxoplasmosis infections affecting the eyes (toxoplasma choroidoretinitis).
- Treatment of toxoplasmosis infections in people with an underactive immune system, for example due to AIDS. Toxoplasmic encephalitis (affecting the brain) is a common complication of AIDS.
- Treating proven toxoplasmosis infection in an unborn baby when the mother has caught the infection during pregnancy.
- Daraprim is licensed for preventing malaria. However, due to resistance of the malaria parasite to this medicine it is not suitable for travellers to take to prevent malaria. It is only suitable for preventing malaria in people who live in areas where pyrimethamine is known to be effective.
How do I take it?
- Daraprim tablets should be swallowed with a drink of water. They can be taken either with or without food.
- For the treatment of toxoplasmosis, Daraprim tablets should always be given with another antibiotic, normally sulfadiazine, or clindamycin, clarithromycin or azithromycin in people who can't take sulfadiazine. A folate supplement (preferably calcium folinate or folinic acid) should also be prescribed to help avoid potential problems with your blood cells (see below). The dose required and the length of treatment will decided by your doctor. Treatment is usually needed for at least three to six weeks. Follow the instructions given by your doctor.
- This medicine can sometimes cause a decrease in the normal amounts of blood cells in the blood. For this reason you will need to have blood tests every week while you are having treatment with this medicine and for a further two weeks after treatment is stopped. You should consult your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms, as they may indicate a problem with your blood cells: unexplained bruising or bleeding, purple spots, sore throat, mouth ulcers, high temperature (fever), feeling tired or general illness.
Use with caution in
- Elderly people.
- People with decreased kidney function.
- People with decreased liver function.
- People with anaemia due to folic acid deficiency.
- People with a history of seizures, eg epilepsy.
Not to be used in
- Women in the first three months of pregnancy.
This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy.
If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.
- This medicine should be used with caution during pregnancy, and only if the expected benefit to the mother is greater than the possible risk to the developing baby. It should not be used in the first trimester. A folate supplement must be taken by pregnant women who are receiving treatment with Daraprim in the second or third trimesters.

Math for Computer Graphics and Computer Vision
From Math Images
Not surprisingly, the mathematics used in computer graphics was touched upon by the students at Drexel and Swarthmore during the summer of '09. Some of the Helper Pages, in particular are needed topics for some of the image pages, and for computer graphics.
As students turned their creative talents on these topics we decided to open this repository of software devoted to understanding them. Our hope is that it will develop into a useful resource for students and faculty in both disciplines. Please contribute your good material!
The following is a list of mathematical topics used in computer graphics. The original list was provided by Drexel professor David Breen.
- 2D, 3D, 4D real spaces; affine subspaces; homogeneous coordinates
- Vectors and Matrices
- Graphics primitives
- 2D primitives developed from triangles: fans, strips
- Convexity and convex sums
- 3D models based on 2D faces
- Do we save machine representations for the CG course?
- Primitive geometric transformations
- Creating general transformations via sequences of primitives
- Inverse transformations via primitives
- Do we include transformation stacks?
- This might well be phrased in terms of the viewing transformation
- Hierarchical coordinate systems
- Implicit geometry - lines, circles, ellipses
- Implicit Surfaces - quadrics, superquadrics
- Implicit Equations
- Parametric geometry - lines, circles, ellipses
- Curves (Catmull-Rom, Bezier, B-spline)
- Parametric surfaces - quadrics, superquadrics, others
- Bezier patches
- Subdivision surfaces
- Procedural Image
- Techniques of computing them from analytic and non-analytic cases
- Silhouette Edges
- Procedural texture maps
- Ray-object intersection
- Bounding Volumes - Bounding spheres and boxes
- Perspective and parallel planar projections
- Non-planar projections
- Edge detection
- Fourier analysis and convolution
More examples may be found in the lecture slides of CS 430.

If the U.S. launches war against Iraq, military physicians in the new theater will likely use a teleradiology system similar to one already in use in an Army field hospital in Afghanistan.
While the military won't say what systems they plan to use in Iraq, it is reasonable to assume the medical apparatus will resemble the telemedicine system in Afghanistan that, among other features, supports transmission of digital images via satellite link.
Last year, the field hospital in Bagran, Afghanistan, established a high-bandwidth satellite connection with Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, supporting telemedicine operations for radiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and psychiatry.
The teleradiology component is capable of transmitting high-resolution imaging studies for consultations and second opinions.
Combat radiology support in Bagran is equipped for x-ray, ultrasound, and CT. The teleradiology system promises single-day report turnaround, meaning military hospitals now don't have to transfer every soldier whose injuries require a second opinion — saving time, transport, and hospital fees.
Backbone of the Afghanistan network is an in-house switching system called the brigade remote subscriber system (BRSS), an extension of the brigade subscriber node (BSN) system that provides mobile communication capability through the use of commercial switches and routers.
BRSS features a satellite link between Landstuhl and all notebook PCs distributed among the dozen tents that make up Bagran hospital.
Until recently, server and router equipment in Landstuhl and the remote locations transmitted at 768 Kbps, slow for teleradiology. Additional bandwidth has been purchased, however, boosting the hospital's ability to send digital medical images considerably faster.
Military field hospital telemedicine was first used in Somalia in February 1993, although physicians there had a mere 56 Kbps of bandwidth to work with — less than 14% of today's speed.
Military teleradiology actually got its start about two years earlier. CT was first used at mobile military hospitals in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, when a teleradiology link via satellite to the U.S. mainland was also successfully deployed.
