Communicating with an Event Bus
By now, you should be familiar with the various ways the Android framework relies on passing data between the various abstractions used:
 - Activities uses Intents to pass data between screens.
 - Fragments use multiple ways to communicate: Bundles to construct fragments, methods by the containing Activity to call, and the listener pattern for the Fragment to fire events.
 - Services rely on Broadcast Managers to send data to Applications.
One of primary issues of these current approaches is that they can create strong dependencies between each component, making it difficult to change one part of the system without impacting another area. This blog post describes the challenges of creating unmanageable dependencies with the current Android framework. Instead of encouraging more modular designs, the communication patterns can sometimes do the exact opposite.
Publish/subscribe models try to avoid this tight integration by relying on an event bus model. In this type of model, there are publishers and subscribers. Publishers are responsible for posting events in response to some type of state change, while subscribers respond to these events. The event acts as an intermediary for exchanging information, isolating and minimizing the dependencies between each side. In this way, message buses create a communication pipeline that is intended to help make your app more maintainable and scalable.
One additional benefit of using these pub/sub frameworks is that they help facilitate passing Java objects between Activities, Fragments, or Services. You don't need to spend time serializing and deserializing data, which can often creates the tight bindings between these components. It also helps enforce more type-safety across complex Java objects.
There are many different libraries which attempt to enable the event bus model, including EventBus, RxJava, and Otto. Otto has been deprecated in favor of RxJava/RxAndroid approaches. EventBus has a few more advanced features than in Otto described in this comparison chart and recently has become the more supported Java library.
Event buses are especially helpful include notifying activities or fragments when tasks are completed, such as when a AsyncTask or a Background Service finishes. When using an event bus model, there are several considerations:
 - Don't assume you should replace every communication pattern with an event bus model. If you publish an event meant only for one subscriber that shouldn't trigger changes in other subscribers, rely on 1-to-1 communication patterns such as the Intents or listener pattern. For instance, a date picker fragment that could be reused in multiple components of your app should probably expose a listener interface since using a event bus model could cause this event to be published to many components waiting to respond to changes in the date selection. Consider the design patterns described in this article too.
 - If you are using publishing or subscribers within an Activity of Fragment they should be registered and unregistered with their lifecycle. Otherwise, it's likely you will encounter memory leaks or dangling references that can cause your app to crash.
 - Be wary about publishing events between Fragments. Events cannot be published or received when a Fragment is not running. If you have a Fragment publishing a message to another Fragment that isn't currently executing and then swap one for the other, it's likely the event will not be processed correctly. The EventBus library has a way to replay this event, but the Otto framework does not.
Setting up an Event Bus with EventBus
Add this Gradle dependency to your app/build.gradle file:
dependencies {
 implementation 'org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.0.0'
Replacing Local Broadcast Managers with EventBus
One primary use case that the event bus model works well is replacing it lieu of the LocalBroadcastManager when communicating from a service to the application. One advantage is that you can simplify a lot of code that normally is used to serialize or deserialize the data by avoiding the need to pass Intents.
Registering on the Bus
If you wish to subscribe Activities and Fragments to the event bus, it should be done with respect to the lifecycle of these objects. The reason is that when an event is published, EventBus will try to find all the registered subscribers. If there is a subscriber attached to the Activity currently not running, there is likely to be a stale reference that causes your app to crash.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
 protected void onPause() {
 protected void onResume() {
Creating an Event
Create a new Event from a standard Java class. You can define any set of members variables. For now, we create a class to accept a result code and a String values.
public class IntentServiceResult {
 int mResult;
 String mResultValue;
 IntentServiceResult(int resultCode, String resultValue) {
 mResult = resultCode;
 mResultValue = resultValue;
 public int getResult() {
 return mResult;
 public String getResultValue() {
 return mResultValue;
Creating a publisher
Inside our Intent service, we can should publish the event. We will simply pass an OK result with a message that will be displayed when the event is received on the Activity.
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
 // do some work
 EventBus.getDefault().post(new IntentServiceResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, "done!!"));
Creating a subscriber
We simply need to annotate a method that has this specific event type with the _USER_ decorator. The method must also take in the parameter of the event for which it is listening. In this case, it's IntentServiceResult.
Because the IntentService is executed on a separate thread, the subscribers will normally also execute on the same thread. If we need to make UI changes on the main thread, we need to be explicit that the actions executed should be done on the main thread. See this section for more information.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
_USER_(threadMode = ThreadMode.MAIN)
public void doThis(IntentServiceResult intentServiceResult) {
 Toast.makeText(this, intentServiceResult.getResultValue(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

emitter categorisations might be of help:
 - Animals
 - Animals.Birds
 - Animals.Cats
 - Animals.Dogs
If wanting all traces sent by all cats to be gathered in the Animals.Cats trace category, one shall introduce in class_Cat following define before the aforementioned class_TraceEmitter.hrl include:
and use it in the constructor like the following example, where class_Cat inherits directly from class_Creature [2] - supposingly itself a child class of class_TraceEmitter:
[2]We chose on purpose, with class_Creature, a classname that differs from class_Animal, to better illustrate that trace categories can be freely specified.
construct(State,TraceEmitterName) ->
 TraceState = class_Creature:construct(State,
 % Cannot use?warning("Hello!), as it would use 'State',
 % which is not a trace emitter yet! So:
 ?send_warning(TraceState,"Cat on the loose!"),
Then all traces sent by all cats will be automatically registered with this trace emitter category.
The purpose of the trace_categorize macro used in the above example is to register the trace categorisation defined through the inheritance tree so that, right from the start, the most precise category is used for all emitted traces [3].
[3]Otherwise, should the various constructors involved declare their own categorisation (which is the general case) and send traces, creating a cat instance would result in having these traces sorted under different emitter categories (ex: the one declared by class_Creature, then by class_Cat, etc.). Tracking the messages emitted by a given instance would be made more difficult than needed, using this macro allows to have them gathered all in the most precise category from the start.
Activation / Desactivation
The trace macros used above can be fully toggled at build-time, on a per-module basis (if disabled, they incur zero runtime overhead, and no source change is required).
See the ENABLE_TRACES make variable in for that, and do not forget to recompile all classes and modules that shall observe this newer setting.
Note that an error-like trace severity will not be impacted by this setting, as such traces shall remain always available (never muted).
Doing so incurs a very low runtime overhead anyway (supposing of course that sending these failure-related messages happens rather infrequently), as the cost of a mostly idle trace aggregator (which is spawned in all cases) is mostly negligible - knowing that runtime resource consumption happens only when/if emitting actual traces.
Switching from Basic Console Traces
In some cases, it may be convenient to have first one's lower-level, debugging traces be directly output on the console.
Then, once the most basic bugs are fixed (ex: the program is not crashing anymore), the full power of this Traces layer can be best used, by switching the initial basic traces to the more advanced traces presented here.
To output (basic) console traces, one may use the trace_utils module of the Myriad layer. For example:
trace_utils:debug_fmt("Hello world #~B",[2])
Then switching to the more advanced traces discussed here is just a matter of replacing, for a given trace type T (ex: debug), trace_utils:T with?T, like in:
?debug_fmt("Hello world #~B",[2])
(with no further change in the trace parameters).
Yet now, as already mentioned, there is a better way of doing so (not requiring trace primitives to be changed once specified), through the use of the trace_bridge module - which is also provided by the Myriad layer - instead.
It allows all Erlang code, including the one of lower-level libraries, to rely ultimately either on basic traces (i.e. the ones offered by Myriad in trace_utils) or on more advanced ones (typically the ones discussed here, offered by Traces - or any other respecting the same conventions) transparently (i.e. with no further change, once the emitter process is registered).
See trace_bridging_test.erl for an example of use thereof.
Trace Ordering
It should be noted that the ordering of the reported traces is the one seen by the trace aggregator, based on their receiving order by this process (not for example based on any sending order of the various emitters involved - there is hardly any distributed global time available anyway).
So, due to network and emitter latencies, it may happen (rather infrequently) that in a distributed setting a trace message associated to a cause ends up being listed, among the registered traces, after a trace message associated to a consequence thereof [4]; nevertheless each trace includes a wall-clock timestamp corresponding to its sending (hence expressed according to the local time of its trace emitter).
[4]A total, reproducible order on the distributed traces could be implemented, yet its runtime synchronisation cost would be sufficiently high to have a far larger impact onto the executions that this trace system is to instrument than the current system (and such an impact would of course not be desirable).
Trace Output Generation
Trace Format Type
Traces may be browsed thanks to either of the following supervision solutions (see class_TraceSupervisor.erl):
 - text_traces, itself available in two variations:
 - text_only if wanting to have traces be directly written to disk as pure, yet human-readable, text
 - pdf, if wanting to read finally the traces in a generated PDF file (hence the actual text includes a relevant mark-up, and as such is less readable directly before a PDF is generated out of it)
 - advanced_traces, for smarter log tools such as LogMX (the default), as discussed below
Trace Rotation
Note also that trace rotation can be enabled: when requested, it is performed (in a synchronous or asynchronous manner, see the rotateTraceFile/1 oneway and the rotateTraceFileSync/1 request of the trace aggregator) unconditionally or based on a threshold in the size of the trace file (the default; see also the setMinimumTraceFileSizeForRotation/2 oneway).
Such trace rotation is typically meant to be triggered by a scheduler, on a regular basis (doing so is more relevant than for example checking a criterion at each trace addition).
If the current trace file is my_file.traces, its rotated version will be an XZ archive named for example my_file.traces.8.2021-1-17-at-22h-14m-00s.xz (the count, here 8, allows to keep track of a series of rotation archives, while the timestamp corresponds to the time at which the log rotation was done), located in the same directory.
Trace Supervision & Browsing
Indeed the tool that generally we use for trace browsing is LogMX (the only tool that we use that is not free software, as we find it convenient), which we integrated:
We implemented a Java-based parser of our trace format for LogMX (see
Traces can be browsed with this tool:
 - live (i.e. during the execution of the program), either from its start or upon connection to the instrumented program whilst it is already running [5] (see class_TraceListener.erl and trace_listening_test.erl)
 - post mortem (i.e. after the program terminated for any reason, based on the trace file that it left)
[5]In which case the trace supervisor will first receive, transactionally, a compressed version of all past traces; then all new ones will be sent to this new listener, resulting in no trace being possibly lost.
The trace supervision solution can be switched at compile time (see the TraceType defined in traces/include/traces.hrl); the Traces layer shall then be rebuilt.
Trace Implementation
General Mode of Operation
All processes are able to emit traces, either by using standalone trace sending primitives (mostly for plain Erlang processes), or by inheriting from the TraceEmitter class, in the (general) case of WOOPER-based processes.
In the vast majority of cases, all these emitters send their traces to a single trace aggregator, in charge of collecting them and storing them on-disk (for most uses, their memory footprint would be quickly too large for RAM), according to an adequate trace format.
This trace format can be parsed by various trace supervisors, the most popular being LogMX.
Various measures have been taken in order to reduce the overhead induced by the overall trace system.
Notably normal traces (as opposed to error-like ones) are sent in a "fire and forget", non-blocking manner (thanks to oneways, which are not specifically acknowledged). The number of messages exchanged is thus reduced, at the cost of a lesser synchronization of the traces (i.e. there is no strong guarantee that the traces will be ultimately recorded and displayed in the order of their emission in wallclock-time, as they will be directly and sequentially stored in their actual order of receiving by the trace aggregator [6], an order that depends itself on the potentially varied network latencies experienced from the potential multiple sources to the trace aggregator).
[6]For example, if both the trace aggregator and a process B are running on the same host, and if a process A, running on another host, emits a trace then sends a message to B so that B sends in turn a trace, then the trace from B might in some cases be received - and thus be listed - by the aggregator before the trace for A (it depends on the network congestion, relative scheduling of processes, etc.).
Trace Emitters
When sending a trace, an emitter relies on its trace_timestamp attribute, and sends a (binarised) string representation thereof (obtained thanks to the ~p quantifier of io:format/2 ). This allows the trace subsystem to support all

Meaning 'suspended in air' the name Meteora includes the entire rock community of 24 monasteries. There were no steps and the main access to the monasteries was by means of a net that was hitched over a hook and hoisted up by rope and a hand cranked windlass to winch towers overhanging the chasm. Monks descended in the nets or on retractable wooden ladders up to 40m long to the fertile valleys below to grow grapes, corn and potatoes.
Studies suggest that the pinnacles are formed about 60 million years ago during the Tertiary Period. Weathering and earthquakes then shaped them into their present shape.
Although it is unknown when Metéora was established, as early as the 11th century AD hermit monks were believed to be living among the caves and cutouts in the rocks.

- Write a list of 10 words on the whiteboard or chalkboard at the front of the classroom. Alternatively you may give students a printed copy with a list of the ten words. The words can be from a current unit of study, a spelling list, or be tied to a timely theme. For the purpose of explaining this game we will use this list of words tied to winter weather:
*blizzard *flurry *freezing *icy *precipitation *scarf *sleet *snowman *snowstorm *toboggan
- Write one of these words on your Response Paddle and say to students, "Guess which word I wrote on my paddle?"
- Students guess the word by writing it on their paddles.
- Now give students the first of three clues about the word you wrote. For example, the first clue might be: "The word I wrote is a two-syllable word." Using the list above, this clue narrows the list of possible words to six.
- Ask students to stand up if they written a two-syllable word. Those who have written one or three-syllable words must erase the word and write one that fits this clue. These students remain seated.
- Provide a second clue. For example: "The word I wrote is a compound word." This clue narrows the possibilities to two words — snowstorm or snowman.
- Tell the students who have written a two-syllable compound word on his or her whiteboard to remain standing and the others to take their seats.
- Those who are seated who do not have a compound word must erase their word and write one of the two compound words.
- Provide a third clue: "The word I wrote is a synonym for the word blizzard." If you do not have a synonym for blizzard on your paddle, sit down."
- Tell the seated students who do not have a synonym for blizzard to erase their word and write the correct word.
- The standing students now show everyone including the teacher the word on their Paddles. Those who guessed "snowstorm" from the beginning score one point.
- Be sure to check to see that everyone now has "snowstorm" written on their paddle.
Chose a new word and continue the game with a different set of clues. For example:
* The word I wrote has at least two syllables.
* The word I wrote has a suffix.
* The root word of the word I wrote is a six-letter word.
Continue the game with another set of clues. For example:
* The word I wrote has two consecutive letters that are the same.
* The word I wrote is a two-syllable word.
* The word I wrote can be described as a light snowfall.
Continue the game with yet another set of clues. For example:
* The word I wrote is either one or two-syllables.
* The word wrote is a noun.
* The word I wrote is an item of clothing.
"Guess Which Word" actively engages all students in understanding the structure and meaning of this list of vocabulary words. At the same time, there is an element of luck which makes the game fun for everyone. Be sure to keep score and offer some kind of reward for high-point-getters.

UNDATED (CNN) -- If you're looking for a career that leads to financial security, four years of college isn't the only path.
With college costs on the rise, more young people are beginning to question whether the cost of a four-year degree is worth it. A new study from Georgetown University could be part of that conversation.
According to the study, there are at least 29 million jobs for people without four year degrees. And at least a million are unfilled. These jobs, which range from areas like nursing to the trades, pay middle class wages.
The average is $42,000 a year and almost 40 percent of them pay salaries above $50,000. But there is one catch; most of these jobs still require you to get some sort of apprenticeship, training or post-secondary certificate. Those certifications can often be earned at community colleges or trade schools.
The most popular certificates for high school graduates include nursing assistant, commercial truck driver, and insurance agent. Popular certificates for those with associates' degrees include a licensed practical nurse, a paralegal or a coding specialist.
One of the study's authors says the existence of these well-paying jobs proves the middle class may be healthier than previously thought.

Cognitive interviewing is a method used by survey researchers to investigate the integrity of their questionnaire designs prior to launching the field portion of the study. In the edited volume Cognitive Interviewing Methodology, Kristen Miller (2014) describes cognitive interviewing as "a qualitative method that examines the question-response process, specifically the processes and considerations used by respondents as they form answers to survey questions," further explaining that "through the interviewing process, various types of question-response problems that would not normally be identified in a traditional survey interview, such as interpretive errors and recall accuracy, are uncovered" (p. 2). In this way, survey researchers identify the users' (i.e., survey respondents') possible meaning and interpretation of survey questions – having to do with question structure or format and terminology – that may or may not deviate from the researcher's intent. Importantly, the objective of the cognitive interview is not to simply determine whether a questionnaire item "makes sense" to an individual but to go beyond that to explore the individual's lived experience (personal context, attitudes, perceptions, behavior) in relationship to their interpretation and/or ability to answer a particular question.
Although not typically included under the "qualitative research" umbrella (with in-depth interviewing, focus group discussions, and observation), four of the 10 unique attributes associated with qualitative research are notably relevant to the cognitive interviewing method. They are the: importance of meaning, flexibility of design, participant-researcher relationship, and researcher skill set. These distinctive qualities of the cognitive interviewing method, and qualitative methods generally, define why researchers opt for qualitative research, yet these same qualities pose a real challenge to researchers who seek to maintain the integrity of the method while also integrating best practices to arrive at valid data. It is by way of best practices and valid data that cognitive interviewing achieves its ultimate goal of mitigating survey measurement error.
The Total Quality Framework (TQF) is an approach to integrating best practices into qualitative research design and, by association (as discussed above), the cognitive interviewing method. By way of its four interlocking components – Credibility, Analyzability, Transparency, and Usefulness – the framework offers researchers a way to think critically about each phase of the research process. Credibility, for instance, has to do with the data collection research phase; specifically, aspects of the research related to Scope and Data Gathering. One of the considerations related to the Scope of a cognitive interviewing study is the number of interviews to complete, which is often considered in terms of saturation or interviewing until no new insights are forthcoming. However, as discussed in this RDR article on the in-depth interview method, saturation, from a TQF perspective, doesn't go far enough. As with in-depth interviews, there are quality aspects relevant to the conduct of cognitive interviews that need to be considered when determining sample size, such as the coverage of questionnaire items in each interview as well as the interviewers' skills, objectivity, and consistency (e.g., the consistent manner in which interviewers introduce each interview). These and other considerations are listed below.
In addition to Scope, the Data Gathering component of the TQF offers researchers a way to think about how to mitigate researcher and participant effects in the data gathering process. Because the researcher's qualitative skills are critical to the integrity of this process, it is imperative to the quality of cognitive interviews that they be conducted by a trained qualitative researcher. A qualitative interviewer is not only an expert in administering effective probing questions (i.e., questions that reveal the underlying meaning of each participant's reactions or comments) but also astute to the potential for participant effects. The ability to weaken these effects relies partly on the interviewer's skill in recognizing the ways participants may not respond honestly to the interviewer's questions or respond in an unclear manner, such as participants who exhibit one or more of the following.
These and other considerations when applying best practices to the cognitive interviewing method can be found in the presentation "A Best Practices Approach to Cognitive Interviewing" available here. As another discussion of a rigorous approach to cognitive interviewing, the edited volume mentioned earlier — Cognitive Interviewing Methodology — is also recommended.

Zefiro Torna
3 June 2017 - 2 September 2017
Centre d'art Contemporain Passerelle
"Zefiro Torna" borrows its title from a short sonnet by Francesco Petrarca, the sonnet depicts mythological references drowned in melancholia, defining in it contrast to the joy and light that arrive with the return of Spring.
Vasiljeva creates a theatrical, scattered landscape, addressing the idea of community and its relation to the mythological thinking. The artist hints at the return of the imaginary community, supporting the idea that what is or what defies a society is not necessarily human. A community which involves tricksters, dead heroes, homeless lunatics, inherited spells, children's phantasies and lies, erotic alchemy, golden beards, film characters, mirrors, words. In other words a community which embraces the otherwordliness as opposed to the rigid committees or finger pointing categories.
At Passerelle Vasiljeva creates is an abandoned stage set populated by paraphernalia belonging to these archaic characters. The strong scent of the spirit of the port city of Brest, its erotic querrell'ish sailor aesthetic sieves through the installation. The exhibition brings together various elements: half domestic-half imaginary objects, questionable materials, theatrical debris. These efforts result in a variety of sculptures made out of stainless steel, spray painted metal, textiles, rubber, ceramics, wood and other found or modified objects. Together they develop a refined, multilayered series of references that opens a dense network of associations.
To accompany the exhibition Vasiljeva involves the educational department of Passerelle to participate and contribute to the installation.

Coronavirus: Businesses told to flush out water supply before reopening to avoid potentially deadly Legionella bacteria
Dental practices, hairdressers, offices, gyms and hotels should take action to avoid spreading the Legionella bacteria, says PHE.

Image: Legionella is naturally present in water systems and causes Legionnaires' disease
Why you can trust Sky News
Businesses have been told to flush out the water supply in their buildings before they reopen, in order to prevent spreading the potentially deadly Legionella bacteria.
Public Health England (PHE) guidance says there should be "regular flushing" of the water system at the likes of dental practices, hairdressers, gyms and hotels, as well as office buildings, to stop bacterial growth.
Premises are also required to undertake a detailed review of all aspects of their water management system before reopening amid the continuing coronavirus lockdown.
Legionella is naturally present in water systems and causes Legionnaires' disease.
Fatal in 10% of cases, it can lead to serious illnesses in people aged over 50, smokers and those with underlying health conditions.
When the temperature of water is between 25C and 50C, the bacteria multiply.
Poor or no flow into the system can also have that effect.
More on Covid-19
Because many hot and cold water systems will not be running during the lockdown, the chances of the bacteria forming will increase if no action is taken, particularly given summer is approaching.
The PHE guidance says: "Regular flushing out of the premises' water system throughout the shutdown period is required.
"However all aspects of the water management system need to be reviewed before reopening the business, and necessary action will be dependent on the complexities of the system.
"This may be done by a combination of workers employed by the organisation if they have the necessary skills and knowledge.
"However, if a water system requires disinfection then a water consultant will be needed."
People who think they may have Legionnaires' disease are advised to visit or to call 111


Teacher strike over academy row

Anti-academy protest outside school
Teachers, who have gone on strike in protest against plans to turn their school into an academy, were joined by parents as they demonstrated outside the school today.
Up to 40 parents attended the protest at Downhills Primary in Haringey.
Sarah Williams, 40, who has two sons at the school, said:
"There is absolutely no evidence that a change in structure improves children's educational outcomes.
"When the process first started I thought it was about improving the school, but as we've got further along I've realised it's all about [Education Secretary] Micheal Gove's ideologies that the only way to improve is to introduce profit.
"If you look at the figures, this school was already improving, and there's absolutely no reason why the school can't continue to improve if left the way it is."

 at the same time. This session will demonstrate and explain the impact on
 the quality of sound if every singer is pronouncing every word in exactly
 the same way (which is not what happens with most choral groups).
 August 21 - Resonance Production - The human throat and skull are phenomenal
 resonance chambers. The best singers understand how to use the five distinct
 chambers to enhance tonal quality, adjust the volume of sound (as opposed to
 loudness), and increase brightness so as to generate overtones.
 August 28 - Why Your Piano Is Out of Tune - The human voice is more like a
 violin than a piano. It can adjust pitch on an infinite scale. Consequently
 very subtle changes in pitch make a huge difference to the sound of an a
 cappella chord. This session will demonstrate how and why barbershoppers
 make subtle adjustments to pitch to create those ringing chords.
 For 60 years The Peninsulaires have been sharing the joy of barbershop
 harmony at their annual cabaret dinner show, ice cream social and theatrical
 production events. In addition, the full 30-man chorus and/or chapter
 quartets perform regularly at community events, local charity functions and
 private parties. Their weekly rehearsals are open to the public. For more

A grinning centaur, a mythological creature that is half-man and half-horse, stands proudly in this sculpture. He carries a set of panpipes and an animal skin is draped over his left arm. Colored marble such as this was quite expensive and a popular symbol of wealth in the Roman world. It was used primarily for architectural decoration and occasionally for sculpture.
This sculpture, acquired by the Getty Museum as a Roman work and believed to have come from the ruins of the palace of the emperor Domitian, has been recently reexamined. These studies suggest that the sculpture was in fact made in the 1700s as a copy of a Roman statue. The centaur is covered with pointing marks that are not ancient.
The Getty Museum centaur is remarkably similar to another centaur carved by the eighteenth-century sculptor Bartolomeo Cavaceppi, who offered copies of Roman centaurs in his sales catalogue. The Getty centaur may also be the work of Cavaceppi.

A decision support system for procurement risk management in the presence of spot market.
Lee, C. K. M.
Date of Issue2012
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
In the presence of spot market, this paper presents a decision support system to model risks for procurement processes and to design a robust purchasing plan, including supplier selection and order allocation. Taking advantages of contract supplier and spot market, the buyer can better meet business requirements in this dynamic business environment. However, there are limitations of existing methods for modeling multiple correlated risks to support decision makers for allocating orders among multiple suppliers in the presence of spot market. Therefore, Monte Carlo simulation algorithm termed as Expected Profit–Supply at Risk (A-EPSaR) is proposed to quantify each supplier's risk so as to let decision maker realize the trade-off between profit and risk. The goal programming model helps to allocate orders among the supplier pool and the contract-spot allocation model can assign orders between the spot market and the supplier pool, respectively. The significance of this paper is to propose a novel decision support framework which helps the buyer to make optimal and robust procurement decision including supplier selection and order allocation among multiple supplier sources in the existence of correlated demand, yield and spot price uncertainties. A case study is used to illustrate the performance of the proposed framework and the proposed methods show the promising result.

 - [Problems of the air cylinder used]
 1. They were dispensing the adhesive by using the air cylinder. The dispensing rate was changed because the air pressure was unstable and the adhesive was interrupted or lumped.
 2. The viscosity of the adhesive changes under the conditions such as temperature, so that it took time to adjust the dispensing pressure.
 3. Defective parts were made when the adhesive that attached to the work parts formed adhesive strings that weren't cut off after dispensing.
 - [Benefits of the electric actuator]
 - The 45 seconds cycle time has been reduced to 30 seconds because the amount of adhesive dispensed always stayed stable.
 - This enabled the supply of adhesive to be stable all day after trial testing each morning.
 - The failure rate due to adhesive dispensing reduced to almost zero from about 10 pieces a day since they set movement to cut clean the dispensed adhesive. This movement was of the electric actuator in the vertical direction and the slide table.

Country Development Cooperation Strategy
Speeches Shim
USAID's Goal in Peru for the strategy period 2020 - 2025 is that Peru more effectively leads and finances shared strategic priorities through increased capacity to combat illicit activities, corruption and over-exploitation of natural resources. Remarkable economic and social progress in the last two decades has elevated Peru's position as a trusted U.S. ally in the region. To ensure sustained growth and social advancement, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peru must continue to address limitations in government effectiveness, corruption control, and containing illegality -- and USAID will remain a steadfast partner.
In line with Peru's development goals and U.S. foreign policy, USAID will help Peru reinforce its capacity to address joint interests and priorities of our two nations. These challenges include: the threat posed by illicit drug trafficking, making Peru the world's second-largest cocaine producer; the extent of corruption, documented by Peru's low position in integrity and international corruption indexes; and the devastating impact of environmental crimes on conservation and management of Peru's vast natural resources, especially in the Amazon where deforestation continues to increase year after year.
Given Peru's comparative progress and sizable domestic resources, USAID's role has shifted from directly financing support for targeted services and populations to providing specialized technical assistance for the Government of Peru and other Peruvian actors to better allocate and utilize their own resources. To advance the CDCS goal, the Mission will pursue a vision for a Strategic Partnership that emphasizes new roles for USAID/Peru to engage, connect and support Peruvian leaders in government, private sector and civil society to mobilize resources, transform systems and institutionalize reforms that address mutual challenges.
USAID will collaborate with Peruvian partners to pursue three objectives:
 1. Peru expands economic and social development to sustain coca reductions;
 2. Peru increases public integrity to reduce corruption; and
 3. Peru strengthens sustainable environment and natural resource management to expand economic and social benefits.
Independent of this CDCS framework, USAID/Peru has responded with new resources to reduce and mitigate the effects of COVID-19 in Peru. Additionally, USAID's bilateral program in Peru is complemented by two South America Regional programs: the Amazon Regional Environment Program and Support for Venezuelan Migrants.
This CDCS was developed and finalized in 2020 as COVID-19 became a global pandemic. USAID/Peru will continue to monitor its potential impact and if needed, the Mission will re-evaluate the strategic approach.

Elizabeth Johnson Kostova, an American author, is best known for her debut novel The Historian. Swan Thieves, her second novel, was released in 2010.
Kostova's interest in the Dracula legend began with the stories her father told her about the vampire when she was a child. The family lived in Ljubljana, Slovenia in 1972, while her father was teaching at a local university; during that year, the family traveled across Europe. According to Kostova, "It was the formative experience of my childhood."She "was fascinated by [her father's Dracula stories] because they were...from history in a way, even though they weren't about real history, but I heard them in these beautiful historic places." Kostova's interest in books and libraries began early as well. Her mother, a librarian, frequently took her and her sisters to the public library — they were each allowed to check out 30 books and had a special shelf for their library books.
As a child, she listened to recordings of Balkan folk music and became interested in the tradition. As an undergraduate at Yale, she sang in and directed a Slavic chorus. In 1989, she and some friends traveled to Eastern Europe, specifically Bulgaria and Bosnia, to study local musical customs. The recordings they made will be deposited in the Library of Congress. While Kostova was in Europe, the Berlin Wall collapsed, heralding the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, events which shaped her understanding of history.
Five years later, in 1994, when Kostova was hiking in the Appalachian Mountains with her husband, she had a flashback to those storytelling moments with her father and asked herself "what if the father were spinning his Dracula tales to his entranced daughter and Dracula was listening in? What if Dracula was still alive?" She immediately scratched out seven pages of notes into her writer's notebook. Two days later, she started work on the novel. At the time she was teaching English as a second language, creative writing, and composition classes at universities in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She then moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and finished the book as she was obtaining her Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Michigan. In order to write the book, she did extensive research about Eastern Europe and Vlad Tepes.
Kostova finished the novel in January 2004 and sent it out to a potential literary agent in March. Two months later and within two days of sending out her manuscript to publishers, Kostova was offered a deal—she refused it. The rights to the book were then auctioned off and Little, Brown and Company bought it for US$2 million (US$30,000 is typical for a first novel from an unknown author). Publishers Weekly explained the high price as a bidding war between firms believing that they might have the next Da Vinci Code within their grasp. One vice-president and associate publisher said "Given the success of The Da Vinci Code, everybody around town knows how popular the combination of thriller and history can be and what a phenomenon it can become." Little, Brown, and Co. subsequently sold the rights in 28 countries. The book was published in the United States on 14 June 2005.
The novel blends the history and folklore of Vlad Tepes and his fictional equivalent Count Dracula and has been described as a combination of genres, including Gothic novel, adventure novel, detective fiction, travelogue, postmodern historical novel, epistolary epic, and historical thriller. Kostova was intent on writing a serious work of literature and saw herself as an inheritor of the Victorian style. Although based on Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Historian is not a horror novel, but rather an eerie tale. The novel is concerned with questions about history, its role in society, and how it is represented in books, as well as the nature of good and evil. As Kostova explains, "Dracula is a metaphor for the evil that is so hard to undo in history." The evils brought about by religious conflict are a particular theme and the novel explores the relationship between the Christian West and the Islamic East.
Heavily promoted, the book became the first debut novel to land at number one on the the New York Times bestseller list and as of 2005 was the fastest-selling hardback debut novel in US history. In general, the reviews of the novel were mixed. Several reviewers noted that she described the setting of her novel well. However, some reviewers criticized the book's structure and its lack of tonal variety. Kostova received the 2006 Book Sense award for Best Adult Fiction and the 2005 Quill Award for Debut Author of the Year. Sony bought the film rights to the novel for $1.5 million.
In May 2007, the Elizabeth Kostova Foundation was created. The Foundation helps support Bulgarian creative writing, the translation of contemporary Bulgarian literature into English, and friendship between Bulgarian authors and American and British authors.
Kostova's second novel, The Swan Thieves, was released in 2010. (From Wikipedia.)

The reviewers at EcoBold (a website that does consumer reviews of green products) spotted this interesting machine that essentially uses a dehumidifier to produce drinking water from thin air (provided that air has 35 percent humidity or higher).
The machine is not cheap — $1,400 for the unit which can produce up to eight gallons per day (it stores four gallons) and it uses about the same amount of energy as a small refrigerator — but according to the EcoloBlue website, excluding the cost of the device your water will cost about 20 cents per gallon.
And the water is very, very clean. The technology looks like it was designed by a descendent of Howard Hughes. There are 11 purification steps:
1. Electrostatic air filter (to take out all the dust and particulates in the air)
2. Condensing coils coated in food-grade plastic
3. Main carbon filter
4. UV treatment to kill bacteria
5. Sediment filter
6 & 7. Two-stage pre-carbon filter
8. Reverse osmosis
9. Tank UV filter
10. Dispenser UV filter
11. Final screen
There is also an optional process to introduce minerals back into the water, since reverse osmosis is known to produce "hungry" water that leaches minerals out of your body.
If you can swing the initial cost of the unit (and the yearly filter replacements) it is probably the cleanest water money can buy and more than cost-competitive with water delivery programs (usually $1+ per gallon).
But perhaps more interesting is its off-the-grid appeal. If you have solar panels, you could ensure a steady supply of water even if something goes wrong with the municipal water supply — handy for that earthquake or terrorist incident.
EcoloBlue is not for every household, but my guess is it will find a niche market.

On May 21 of each year, the world celebrates the International Day for Cultural Diversity, in the framework of the endeavors to achieve peace, stability and development in all countries around the world, where the promotion of cultural diversity is an essential pillar for reducing conflicts between countries and peoples, by contributing to accepting social diversity, appreciating cultural difference and considering it an advantage that encourages dialogue between civilizations and different cultures and builds mutual respect between them.
Most of the problems rooted in countries of the world today are due to the prevalence of policies and practices infested with hatred of other cultures and transcendence on them and dealing with followers of those cultures with discrimination, contempt and marginalization, which generates deep conflicts within societies that are characterized by the rich diversity of cultures and customs, and these conflicts quickly reflect on everyone by the collapse of peaceful relations based on dialogue and tolerance among members of society.
Bahrain Interfaith believes that all the challenges facing Bahrain – as it seeks to achieve greater internal development and cohesion – can be overcome by adhering to international covenants and treaties related to respecting cultural diversity, including the declaration to protect and promote the diversity of cultural expressions adopted by UNESCO in 2005.
BI affirms that the road to achieving the requirements to respect and promote cultural diversity in Bahrain needs a number of steps and procedures, including:
1- Adopting local legislations concerned with respecting and protecting the cultural diversity of the various components of the local community in Bahrain, and criminalizing all forms of discrimination, contempt and hatred against others on the basis of culture, language, and customs.
2- Commitment of civil society organizations and state institutions to embrace and accommodate different cultures that represent the components of Bahrain in a fair and balanced manner, and in a manner that enhances the values of coexistence and understanding between them.
3- Incorporating legislations that respect cultural diversity into sustainable development programs and policies, and emphasizing the need for these programs to adhere to the principle of respecting, appreciating, and promoting cultural diversity between citizens and residents of the country.
4- Considering the respect for cultural diversity an integral part of respecting the human rights and fundamental freedoms.
Kingdom of Bahrain – May 21, 2020


Separated for 1,000 years, two Viking warriors from the same family were reunited today at Denmark's National Museum, as DNA analysis helps shed light on the Vikings' movements across Europe.
One of the Vikings died in England in his 20s in the 11th century, from injuries to the head. He was buried in a mass grave in Oxford.
The other died in Denmark in his 50s, his skeleton bearing traces of blows that suggest he took part in battles.
DNA mapping of skeletons from the Viking era - from the eighth to the 12th century - enabled archaeologists to determine by chance that the two were related.
"This is a big discovery because now you can trace movements across space and time through a family," museum archeologist Jeanette Varberg told AFP.
Two of her colleagues spent more than two hours today piecing together the skeleton of the man in his 20s, from the remains freshly arrived from Oxford.
The 150 bones have been lent to the Danish museum by the Oxfordshire Museum in Britain for three years.
The historical consensus is that Danish Vikings invaded Scotland and England from the late eighth century.
The younger of the two men "may have been cut down in a Viking raid, but there is also a theory that they (the skeletons in the mass grave) were victims of a royal decree by English King Ethelred the Second, who commanded in 1002 that all Danes in England should be killed," Ms Varberg said.
It is very rare to find skeletons that are related, though it is easier to determine the relationships for royals, according to Ms Varberg.
While the two were confirmed to be relatives, it is impossible to determine their exact link.
They may have been half-brothers, or a grandfather and grandson, or an uncle and nephew.
"It's very difficult to tell if they lived in the same age or they differ maybe by a generation, because you have no material in the grave that can give a precise dating. So you have a margin of 50 years plus or minus," Ms Varberg said.

Boundary between the United States and Mexico, map by William H. Emory, 1855
Between 1849 and 1857, the Army Corps of Topographical Engineers marked and mapped the U.S.-Mexico boundary and published a report on natural features of the borderland. The vast new western territories immediately became a focus of congressional dispute regarding slavery in new states. This map shows the border between New Mexico and Chihuahua, Mexico.

Researchers at Northwestern University have found a molecule that can kill an aggressive pediatric brainstem tumor called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). This rare but fatal tumor affects about 300 children per year under the age of 10.
A type of mutant protein is found in about 80% of these tumors. The inhibitor being tested blocks the interactions of these mutant proteins that drive DIPG progression, stopping tumor growth. Currently, this inhibitor is not approved, but early studies in mice are promising. With further testing, this could eventually lead to clinical trials.

Polytechnique Montreal, May 23 – 24, 2019
The Software Engineering for Machine Learning Applications (SEMLA) international symposium, to be held on May 23 and 24 2019, aims at bringing together leading researchers and practitioners in software engineering and machine learning to reflect on and discuss the challenges and implications of engineering complex data-intensive software systems.
From the early attempts in the late 80s (such as the MAIA project) to the most recent breakthroughs in applications of deep learning, the human kind dreams of building machines capable of learning new tasks, adapting to the environment, and evolving. Yet this exploration poses important computational, practical and ethical challenges. Failure to properly address these challenges in such software intensive systems can lead to catastrophic consequences. Consider, for example, the recent human toll incidence caused by the $47-million Michigan Integrated Data Automated System (MiDAS) (see Broken: The human toll of Michigan's unemployment fraud saga), or the recent finding that simple tweaks can fool neural networks in identifying street signs (see Robust Physical-World Attacks on Deep Learning Visual Classification).
The increasing concern of machine learning impacting people's lives found a strong advocate in Prof. David Parnas, who expressed his concern in an ACM communication article. These challenges are also reflected in new IEEE standardization initiatives. With data science and deep learning becoming increasingly pervasive in the contemporary world, it is now imperative to engage software engineers and machine learning experts in in-depth conversations about the necessary perspectives, approaches, and roadmaps to address these challenges and concerns.
In particular, we are interested in (but not limited to) discussing the following topics concerning software-intensive machine learning applications "in the wild":
- Architecture and software design
- Model/data verification and validation
- Change management
- User experience evaluation and adjustment
- Privacy, safety, and security issues
- Ethical concerns
We encourage and welcome experts from all sub-fields of software engineering and machine learning to participate in such a discussion.

Star Trek Adventures: Developers' Blog 001
By Nathan Dowdell, 2d20 System Developer
Basic Rules: Characters
The Star Trek universe is one ripe for exploration, and Star Trek Adventures is designed to allow you to do exactly that, whether you do it via the Starfleet-themed core rulebook or The Klingon Empire core rulebook. But, if you've never played a roleplaying game, or if you've only encountered one or two other RPGs before, getting to grips with how Star Trek Adventures works can seem daunting. So, we've decided to produce a series of short articles to help explain the basics of the game.
The first place to look is the character sheet which you can download for FREE here. It's what you'll be looking at most often during a game, so knowing what the important parts mean is helpful.
There are six main things that make up a player character:
- Traits, such as your character's species, are the central defining facts of who and what the character is. Traits are a bigger subject which we'll discuss in a later article.
- Values are a set of short phrases or statements which show what a character believes. When your values go against your actions, it can make things more challenging, but when your values support your actions, you can achieve far greater degrees of success.
- Attributes are a series of scores that reflect what the character is good at and how they approach problems. There are six attributes—Control, Daring, Fitness, Insight, Reason, and Presence. Each attribute has a score from 7 to 12, and they're used when performing tasks.
- Disciplines are a series of scores that represent a character's skills and training, and they each reflect a different division of Starfleet: Command, Conn, Security, Engineering, Science, and Medicine. Each discipline is rated from 0 to 5, though every player character has at least 1 in each discipline as they're assumed to have at least basic training in all fields. Along with a character's attributes, they're used to perform tasks.
- Focuses are subjects, areas of expertise, and specialties which your character is especially good at. Every engineer knows how a warp drive works, but some are true experts with a focus in warp drive.
- Talents are special tricks and techniques a character knows. They're special abilities that your character possesses which give them an advantage on their adventures.
Attributes and Disciplines
A character's attributes can illustrate what they're like, and how they tend to approach challenges.
- A character with a high Control is likely to be precise, detail-oriented, or highly disciplined.
- A character with a high Daring is bold, courageous, and highly effective under pressure.
- A character with a high Fitness is physically healthy, with high endurance and a good understanding of how to apply physical force.
- High Insight reflects keen instincts, a good understanding of body language and other interpersonal cues, and someone who trusts their gut during difficult situations.
- A high Reason represents a character who is analytical and methodical, highly observant, and good at piecing together the evidence.
- A character with a high Presence is likely to be able to command attention and has a powerful personality. They're probably strong-willed and self-assured.
Meanwhile, a character's disciplines represent their skills and training.
- Command covers leadership and interpersonal skills, an understanding of diplomacy, and coordinating others during a crisis.
- Conn covers the operation and piloting of a starship or other vehicle, as well as interstellar navigation, extra-vehicular activities, familiarity with spacecraft, and knowledge of the protocols, procedures, and traditions of spacefaring.
- Security naturally covers fighting in personal and starship combat, but also criminal investigation, espionage, stealth, wilderness survival, and identifying threats.
- Engineering deals with machines and technology, ranging from operating and repairing complex devices, to inventing new machines and adapting technologies to do things they cannot normally do.

We'll look at how you use your attributes and disciplines to attempt tasks during the game in a future article.
A character's focuses may reflect their professional specialties, their personal interests, or their hobbies. A character may be recognized as an expert or master of some of their focuses, or they may be amateur enthusiasts. If the character is a scientist, a doctor, or engineer, they may have published academic papers. A character with a focus in a martial art or athletic discipline may have medals or trophies from competition.
Not all of a character's interests are important enough to be focuses, but a character's focuses are the things they are most deeply interested in and knowledgeable about. We'll dive into more detail on focuses in a future article.
A character's values depict what a character believes, and these beliefs help shape the way a character behaves during play. Values are heavily tied into how you use and gain Determination, and they're a subject that deserves their own article.
A character's talents are a selection of special abilities. Each talent provides a distinct benefit, option, or exception from the normal rules. As talents vary so much, they can't really be summarized here, so we'll examine talents in more detail in a later article.

The purpose of this dissertation is to study the causes, welfare effects, and policy implications of the decline of the Rust Belt. I develop a dynamic spatial equilibrium model which consists of a multi-region, multi-sector economy comprised of overlapping generations of heterogeneous individuals. Using several data sets that cover the time period from _PHONE_, I estimate the structural parameters of the model based on a simulated method of moments estimator. The empirical findings suggest that goods-producing firms located in the Rust Belt had a 13 percent relative productivity advantage in 1960 compared to the rest of the U.S., which shrank to approximately 3 percent by the end of the sample period in 2010. As a consequence, a large fraction of the decline of the Rust Belt can be attributed to the reduction in its location-specific advantage in the goods-producing sector. The transition of the U.S. economy to a service sector economy is a less significant factor. The decline of the Rust Belt generated significant differences in welfare between individuals residing in the Rust Belt and those residing in other areas, particularly for the less educated. Policy experiments show that the inequality in welfare can be significantly reduced by subsidizing labor costs in the Rust Belt or reducing mobility costs.

Increase Punch Strength With Punching Bag Training
Punch bag training is a mythical technique to boost punch speed and strength. To be able to enhance the punch strength, start with hitting on a punch bag deeper than you do. A thicker bag compels you to boost the punch power.
Buy 'punching bag' (also known as 'sacs de frappe' in French) after you're familiar with the current bag. Staying balanced is the trick to enhance the potency of your punch. Be relaxed and maintain a correct posture whilst providing the punches.
Never over stretch your own body to punch in the tote. Maintain a great and mild foot work. Remaining stationery in one position won't assist in enhancing the jolt strength. You have to keep moving round the punch bag and keep attacking it in various angles with varying forces to grow the punch power.
It's easier said than done when you're requested to not tense your muscles and there's absolutely no method to educate your muscles to become tensed or relaxed. This can be an involuntary reaction that's developed through training.
 To have the ideal strength on your mind it's crucial to keep the muscles relaxed prior to the delivery of the blow. Laws of physics say that the strength or power of an object can also be dependent on its rate. If you raise the rate of delivery, then the potency of every punch raises automatically.
To increase rate, workouts should be made in shorter periods with rapid successive blows on the punch bag. Small increments in rate can raise the punch strength substantially. Another way to enhance the punch strength would be to get brief high speed exercises in the punch bag.

Instructions and Help about Oil royalty inheritance
Let's talk about oil and gas royalty statements if you're just starting out this can be a little bit confusing but I think if we just go through this once it'll become pretty clear that it's really easy to understand so there are three parts to an oil and gas royalties statement if you have the basic information of the operator and the well and what its located and who they are and the name of the numbers city and county and everything you also have the gross and net numbers related to how much the well produced and how much it made as a whole and then you have your individual numbers your owner's specific information and this is where those numbers are multiplied by your decimal interest to show you exactly how much of the whole production is yours first section is the property now this is the name of the well and you might have several wells in your statement or you might have just one in this example there's only one well and you can see under property that there is an identification number there's a name and there's a well number like 2 H is a second well that's drilled there and H stands for horizontal well if you keep going across you'll see the county and the state in this example we're looking at Young County Texas production date is the date of production for that well in this statement this is this statement shows two months production because the ownership is very small and so the check is too small it has to be $100 for this producer for them to send a check out so it takes every like two months they'll say to check out so that's why you're seeing all of November and all of December's production in this check so if we look at new production date 11:18 is so November 2022 12:18 is December 2022 so that's pretty easy to understand the next section over is the loyalty type so there are different types of royalty interest you can have royalty interest you can have overriding worlds you can test your going to working interest there's some other types as well but that's the arm of the scope of this video so I'll do that I'll cover that in another video the next section is unit price this is the price that Nadel and Gusman sold the product that came out of the well like for example the price of oil that month when they sold this was fifty five dollars and fifteen cents per barrel so if you multiply the price for oil with the volume you will get the gross revenue of the well so that is how much revenue the well generated without it taking into account taxes or other deductions or costs the next section is the owner DDI this is your decimal interest in the well it's the percentage of ownership that.

WEDNESDAY, March 6 (HealthDay News) -- Besides problems with gait and vision, people who have multiple sclerosis often complain they have trouble remembering things, and now new research may explain why.
According to a small study from the Netherlands, people with MS who report memory and thinking problems have more extensive damage to the white matter in their brains than their counterparts with MS who don't report such problems.
Up to 70 percent of all people with MS will experience a mental decline at some point, said study author Hanneke Hulst at the VU University Medical Center, in Amsterdam. And the new research "confirmed that cognitive symptoms in MS have a biological basis," Hulst said.
The findings were published online March 6 in Neurology.
MS is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body attacks myelin, a fatty substance that insulates the nerve fibers of the central nervous system. The brain's white matter is surrounded by myelin. Symptoms range in severity and may include problems with gait, balance, vision, memory and thinking abilities.
To get a better picture of what was going on in the brains of people with MS, Hulst and colleagues used a new type of brain scan called diffusion tensor imaging along with traditional MRI scans on 20 people with MS-related thinking problems, 35 people with MS whose thinking ability was not affected by the disease and 30 people without MS.
More damage appeared in the brain's white matter of people with MS who reported memory and thinking impairments than in those who had MS but no such complaints about mental declines: 76 percent vs. 49 percent, respectively. This was especially apparent in areas of the brain charged with memory, attention and concentration, the researchers said.
"Imaging can now be used to capture a wider spectrum of changes in the brains of people with MS, and will therefore help determine more accurately whether new treatments are helping with all aspects of the disease, including cognitive [mental] impairment," Hulst said. "Unfortunately, at the moment there are no treatments available to prevent or cure cognitive problems in MS."
Dr. Steven Mandel, a neurologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said the new study validates some of the complaints he hears from people with MS. "The test is not ready for prime time, but in the future, it can help us sort out how impaired these individuals are in regard to everyday life and daily living." It may also serve as a marker to assess whether a treatment is making a difference, he said.
Dr. Fred Lublin, director of the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, said that memory and thinking problems are common in people with MS, but they are usually subtle.
"People with MS are more aware of [these problems] than are the people around them," Lublin said. Still, he added, "this is an important finding that helps us better understand how cognitive impairment occurs and therefore can be a marker for treatments in the future."

Secret Societies
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus.
Related to Secret Societies: illuminati, Conspiracy theories
Secret Societies
a late form of men's societies. Secret societies arose with the decline of the primitive communal system and were used by the clan or tribal elite to establish its domination over the rest of the clan or tribe. The terms "secret societies" and "men's societies" are often used synonymously.
Judging from extant survivals, secret societies apparently existed all over the world, and many tribes of North America, Oceania, and tropical Africa had secret societies until modern times. As a rule, large expenditures were required to gain admission to a secret society and particularly to attain a high social rank within it; in effect, as secret societies developed, they became societies of the rich, freeing their members from the authority of the clan or tribe and protecting their property and their influential position. This was achieved both by sheer terror and by subjecting the uninitiated to the psychological effect of mysterious assemblies, rituals, and terrifying cults.
Secret societies were among the mechanisms serving to destroy the clans' and tribes' system of popular rule and to create a political power separate from the people. In some places, for example in West Africa, secret societies were still retained in the early class societies, where they provided support for statehood, then still weak. At the same time, at all stages of development, secret societies usually retained such functions of early men's societies as preparing young men for family and public life and ensuring the domination of men over women.

routing key property of the message matches the routing key of the key according to a primitive pattern matching scheme, then the message is forwarded to the queue. The message routing key then consists of words separated by dots (".", like domain names), and two special characters are available; star ("") and hash ("#"). The star matches any word, and the hash matches zero or more words. For example ".stock.#" matches the routing keys "usd.stock" and "eur.stock.db" but not "stock.nasdaq".
Durable: this flag determines the durability of both exchanges and queues; durable exchanges and queues remain active when a RabbitMQ server restarts. Non-durable exchanges/queues (transient exchanges/queues) are purged when a server restarts. It is worth noting that AMQP specifies that durable queues cannot bind to transient exchanges. Default is True.
Auto_delete: if set, the exchange is deleted when all queues have finished using it. Default is False.
Exclusive: exclusive queues (such as non-shared) may only be consumed from by the current connection. When exclusive is on, this also implies auto_delete. Default is False.
Exchange_type: AMQP defines several default exchange types (routing algorithms) that covers most of the common messaging use cases.
Auto_ack: acknowledgment is handled automatically once messages are received. By default auto_ack is set to False, and the receiver is required to manually handle acknowledgment.
No_ack: it disable acknowledgment on the server-side. This is different from auto_ack in that acknowledgment is turned off altogether. This functionality increases performance but at the cost of reliability. Messages can get lost if a client dies before it can deliver them to the application.
Auto_declare: if this is True and the exchange name is set, the exchange will be automatically declared at instantiation. Auto declare is on by default. Publishers specify most the parameters of Consumers (such as they do not specify a queue name), but they can also specify the following:
Delivery_mode: the default delivery mode used for messages. The value is an integer. The following delivery modes are supported by RabbitMQ:
- 1 or "transient": the message is transient. Which means it is stored in memory only, and is lost if the server dies or restarts.
- 2 or "persistent": the message is persistent. Which means the message is stored both in-memory, and on disk, and therefore preserved if the server dies or restarts.
The default value is 2 (persistent). During a send operation, Publishers can override the delivery mode of messages so that, for example, transient messages can be sent over a durable queue.
