Spell checking requires the deployment of several server-side components onto a J2EE compatible application server (e.g. Jetty, or Apache Tomcat).
The following server-side components are required to enable spell checking:
Allowed Originsephox-allowed-origins.warSupplies configuration for server components to communicate with your application.
Spell Checkingephox-spelling.warSpell checking service for JavaScript editors.
This guide will help you set up the Spelling server-side components, and show you how to use them in conjunction with editor clients. The steps required are:
 1. Install a Java application server (or use existing)
 2. Deploy server-side components
 3. Create a configuration file and configure the allowed origins service
 4. Pass the configuration file to the Java application server
 5. Restart the Java application server
 6. Set up editor client instances to use the spelling service
1. Install a Java Application Server
Server-side components require a Java Application Server to run.
If you don't already have a Java application server installed you can easily install Tomcat or Jetty with their default settings. These are both simple, open source Java application servers and they're easy to install and configure. The editor SDK supports both of these platforms. You can find the instructions and download links below. For the later setup, it's also helpful if you note any domain name and port number you specify during installation of the web application server.
Memory Requirement
Please ensure that you configure your Java Server (Tomcat/Jetty etc) with a minimum of 4GB.
Please refer to the Services Troubleshooting page if you require instructions on how to explicitly define how much RAM will be allocated to your Java server.
2. Deploy Server-side Components
You'll need to ensure you deploy all of the WAR files packaged with the SDK:
 - ephox-allowed-origins.war
 - ephox-spelling.war
The easiest way to deploy these files is to simply drag and drop them into the webapps directory of your Tomcat/Jetty server (or equivalent folder of another Java application server), and then restart the server.
More information on deploying components/applications:
Deploying applications with Tomcat 6.0
Deploying applications with Jetty
3. Create a configuration file and configure the allowed origins service
It is recommended that you use a plain text editor (eg: gedit, vim, emacs, notepad etc) when creating or editing the application.conf. Do not use editors like Evernote as there is a good chance of smart quotes being used where plain quotes should be used and this will cause the services to fail.
Services requires a configuration file named application.conf to be referenced by the application server.
The SDK comes packaged with an example configuration file (examples/application.conf) that can be used as a reference guide. You can use this example file (after modifying it with your settings). We recommend that you make a backup of the file before editing it.
The allowed-origins configuration element will need to be specified in order for the spelling server-side component to work.
This element configures the allowed-origins service which allows all server-side components to communicate with specified domains.
The origins attribute must list all the domains that instances of the editor will be hosted on. Only requests from the listed origins will be processed by the server-side components. Requests from any other domains will be rejected.
The url attribute defines the location of the allowed-origins service.
elementallowed-originsStores CORS setup information
An array of strings representing the domains allowed to communicate with the services.
Note: Be sure to include the protocol (https or http) and any required port number (eg:8080) in the string.
This string is a concatenation of two values:
String 1: The URL location of the allowed-origins service
String 2: The API to access in the service (/cors).
Entering Origins
The origins are matched by protocol, hostname and port. So you may need a combination of all three, depending on which browser /s you use. If you are serving the editor and services from http://localhost & port 80, then the list of origins should have an entry for "http://localhost" and any other servers with ports, like so:
 origins=["http://localhost", "http://any-other-servers:port"]
 url = "http://localhost/ephox-allowed-origins/cors"
This only applies to port 80 because this being the default http port, browsers omit it when talking to the server. For every other port and hostname, the recommended setting is to make one entry with the port and one without the port. This is because different browsers behave differently with regards to the Origin header. So the config file should resemble:
ephox{ allowed-origins{ origins=["http://hostname", "http://hostname:1234"] url = "http://hostname:1234/ephox-allowed-origins/cors" } }
Ensure that you have the right protocol specified, and for more examples see the section below. If you experience issues, please use the Troubleshooting guide (in the Tip below) and you should be able to see if the browser sends a different origin to the one that you have specified. Both must match for the services to work.
Depending on your configuration and the browser you use, you may need to specify the port number as well when listing the origin. If you observe that requests are failing with services not being available, it may be because the port number is required. Refer to troubleshooting guide - section titled Investigating Using the Browser's Network Tools
allowed-origins Example
ephox {
 allowed-origins {
 origins = [ "http://myserver", "http://myserver:8080", "http://myotherserver", "http://myotherserver:9090", "https://mysecureserver" ]
 url = "http://myserver:8080/ephox-allowed-origins/cors"
4. Pass the configuration file to the Java application server
You'll need to reference the configuration file created in Step 3 as a parameter passed to the JVM running the services. Once the server has been configured to use the file, restart the server.
If the path to your application.conf file has spaces in it, you must ensure you prefix each white space with an escape character (\).
Example: " -Dephox.config.file=/config/file/location/with/white\ space/application.conf"
The following examples demonstrate how to reference application.conf for Tomcat or Jetty instances.
Tomcat (Unix)
Make/edit a script at /tomcat/install/directory/bin/
Ensure the file contains a single line, like (this must be the absolute path as before):
CATALINA_OPTS=" -Dephox.config.file=/config/file/location/application.conf"
Tomcat (Windows):
Setting configuration varies based on installation of tomcat. You can choose one of following options to complete configuration setting.
Option A. Installation though Windows Command line (CMD) with tomcat binary file:
Make/edit a script at DRIVE:\tomcat\install\directory\bin\setenv.bat (This file might not exist for some versions of tomcat, create it in bin folder)
The file should contain a single line:
Example setenv.bat
set CATALINA_OPTS= -Dephox.config.file=DRIVE:\config\file\location\application.conf
After setting up configuration, you can launch tomcat by startup.bat or catalina.bat
Option B. Windows Service Installer:
 1. From start menu, open Monitor Tomcat and see popping up window.
 2. Go to Java tab and see Java Options.
 3. In Java Options, insert new line, which is
 4. Then you can go to General tab to start Tomcat.
Jetty (simple configuration):
You can specify your application.conf as a parameter to this command, along with other jvm parameters:
java -jar /jetty/install/directory/start.jar -Dephox.config.file="/config/file/location/application.conf"
Jetty (automatic configuration for services launching on system start-up)
Edit /etc/default/jetty and add the line:
JETTY_OPTS=" -Dephox.config.file=/config/file/location/application.conf"
Edit /opt/jetty/start.ini and add the line:
The first new lines of the file should read:
# Jetty start.jar arguments
# Each line of this file is prepended to the command line
# arguments # of a call to:
# java -jar start.jar [arg...]
5. Restart the Java application server
Once you have created a configuration file, configured the allowed origins service, and passed the configuration file to the Java application server you must restart the Java application server.
6. Set up editor client instances to use the spelling service
With the above steps completed you can now direct the editor client instances to use the server-side spelling component.
Set the spelling.url configuration property to the URL of the deployed server side spelling component. This URL is provided to you by your Java application server.
Example Client Config
var config = {
 spelling : {
 url: '' // Spelling service URL
var editor = textboxio.replace('_TAG_', config);
 - No labels

Adobe Illustrator: Adding a White Border for Window Clings
by Barb Binder, Adobe Certified Instructor on Illustrator
Window clings and stickers often have a white border added around the outside of the artwork. I encountered this question for the first time in class yesterday and here's how we solved it.
- To make this more visual (because it is hard to see white on white), I changed the artboard to a color to a light blue. In File > Document Setup > Transparency and Overprint Options, I selected a light blue in the top color swatch box and checked Simulate Colored Paper.
- Start by selecting the final artwork by clicking on the selection box on the far right of the artwork layer.
- Copy the artwork, and paste it onto a new layer (I named mine White border). Select the copied artwork on the White border by clicking the selection box.
- Fill the artwork with white. Remove stroke, if necessary.
- In Window > Pathfinder, click on Unite to combine all of the individual shapes into one shape.
- Extend the path out on all sides by selecting Effect > Path > Offset Path. Turn Preview on so that you can gauge the distance of the offset and how the corners are joined (I picked Round).
- Select Object > Expand Appearance to convert the Offset Path appearance into vectors.
- Reverse the order of the two layers, so that the White border is under the artwork.

Implementing image sprites in CSS
Image sprites are used in numerous web apps where multiple images are used. Rather than include each image as a separate image file, it is much more memory and bandwidth-friendly to send them as a single image, so the number of HTTP requests is reduced.
Suppose an image is given to every item with class toolbtn:
.toolbtn {
 background: url(myfile.png);
 display: inline-block;
 height: 20px;
 width: 20px;
A background position can be added either as two x, y values after the url() in the background, or as background-position. For example:
_TAG_ {
 background-position: -20px 0px;
_TAG_ {
 background-position: -40px 0px;
This would move the element with the ID 'btn1' 20 pixels to the left and the element with the ID 'btn2' 40 pixels to the left (assuming they have the class toolbtn assigned and are affected by the image rule above).
Similarly, you can also make hover states with:
_TAG_:hover {
 background-position: px px;

Decode QR codes (and other 1D/2D barcode formats)
QRcode generation is well served in the Ruby community, but decoding seems to be stuck in the Java world. This is an attempt to bridge the gap by wrapping the ZXing library with JRuby. ZXing conveniently decodes a plethora of barcodes. Their site has a complete list.
gem install zxing
JRuby (tested with 1.5.6), OR
MRI (1.8.7 and 1.9.2) with jruby-jars gem
require 'zxing' # Pass a path to a file, and it will return the characters encoded within # the barcode image. For example, if a QRCode image has the text "QRcode # string" embedded: ZXing.decode '/Users/ecin/qrcode.png' #=> "QRcode string" # ZXing#decode_all returns an array of encoded values. For example if an # image has a barcode encoded with the value "test123" and another barcode # encoded with the value "test456": ZXing.decode_all 'image_with_multiple_barcodes.png' #=> ["test456", "test123"] # You can also decode a URL... ZXing.decode '_URL_ # or an instance of File ZXing.decode File.new('qrcode.png') # or anything that returns a URL or file path when _TAG_ is called on it. class Image attr_reader :path def initialize(path); _USER_ = path end end # ZXing#decode returns nil if it can't decode the image. ZXing.decode 'image_without_a_code.png' #=> nil # ZXing#decode! will raise an error if it can't decode the image. ZXing.decode! 'image_without_a_code.png' #=> raises ZXing::UndecodableError
A Decodable module is included (pun intended) to ease using the library with objects that return the URL or file path to decode when _TAG_ or _TAG_ is called.
require 'zxing/decodable' class File include Decodable end file = File.open('qrcode.png') file.decode

8 Hands-on: Generating, importing and adopting appropriate SVG graphics
There are three major resources for SVG graphics
- _URL_ (make sure to select simple graphics and that will "flatten" imported objects
- _URL_ (icons)
- Visualization programs that can export to SVG, e.g. highcharts, that I used to explore (simple, ugly) data visualizations.
Before importing, understand that:
- Embroidery resolution is low
- You cannot stitch more than 2 layers
- Ink/Stitch cannot handle weird geometry (non polygons like a figure 8)
Some operations that can help:
Menu Object -> Break apart
- Various subtractive geometry operations, e.g.
Path -> Difference
-... etc. Rather take examples from the EduTechWiki page
- Machine embroidery (Tutorials made by DKS and his students).
- French version: Guide tutoriels de broderie machine (but as of oct 2018, InkStitch is not documented. It will be)

This talk will introduce the concept of developmental readiness for leadership, and in the context of higher education, discuss its relevance in examining the effects of leadership education interventions in building leadership capacity in students. Specifically, it will focus on three aspects of student leadership development: leadership self-efficacy ("ready"), motivation to lead ("willing"), and leadership skill ("able"). Recent research suggests that students at various levels of readiness display disparate gains in each of these three areas within the same interventions.

Healthcare systems from around the world come across numerous problems, and one among them is adverse safety events that often involve patients. Since this is a matter of great concern, hospitals need to take the required steps to prevent it from venturing further and creating problems for the future. Considering the fact that human life is at stake, preparations and other methods need to be implemented right away. But how do they do it? Well, keep reading to know more about the ideal set of ways to make it all happen.
A Supportive Environment
If one requires timely reporting, they need to bring about a change in the organization that comes to create a supportive environment. An environment or an atmosphere that listens to everyone not only benefits a healthcare service but also the people receiving the service. In this manner, the facility or the organization will have a structured flow of tasks that is monitored and carried forward in the right way.
The Right Culture
A blame culture is one that points towards the mistakes of doctors and nurses by stating that they deliberately took the life of a human. While it sounds crucial for a movie plot, things tend to take a different direction in reality. Doctors, nurses, and other hospital members need to learn from their mistakes, and the work culture needs to promote the same. By doing so, everyone will be ready to try things out, and people achieve their best potential. So eliminate the blame culture and make it all supportive.
The Importance of Training
Every single organization understands the importance of training. While some may take time to figure it out, others tend to start things in the right manner. Regardless of whichever position one falls into that category, at the end of the day, they require training. As a result, the healthcare system that surrounds a hospital needs to go through a valid form of training that considers its employees' efforts and helps them achieve the right set of skills.
In this manner, they can increase patient safety event reporting and proceed to bring about a difference for the best.
Staff recognition goes a long way, and every working module that understands the same tends to benefit from it. As a result, the healthcare system needs to follow the same and ensure that everyone gets rewarded for the work that they have put into the business. Apart from keeping them satisfied, this will also build a good relationship between employees and the management, thus promoting a good work culture.
Hence those were some of the ideal ways through which hospitals can increase patient safety event reporting.

Summary Article: Rusk, (David) Dean (_PHONE_) from The Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia with Atlas and Weather guide
US Democrat politician. He was secretary of state to presidents J F Kennedy and L B Johnson 1961–69, and became unpopular through his involvement with the Vietnam War.
He was prominent in Korean War negotiations. Convinced of the need not to appease communist expansionism, he played a key part in the US decision to defend South Korea against invasion by North Korea. However, he advised President Kennedy against the unsuccessful Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961.
Early career Rusk was born in Cherokee County, Georgia, the son of a Presbyterian minister, and studied politics at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar. He taught political science on his return to the USA, before military service during the World War II, where he was involved in intelligence and guerrilla operations in Burma (now Myanmar). He joined the US State Department after the war and progressed to becoming assistant secretary for Far Eastern affairs 1950–51. In 1952, when the Republican general Dwight Eisenhower was elected president, Rusk left the State Department to become president of the internationalist Rockefeller Foundation.
A hawk Despite criticism from peace campaigners, Rusk never wavered in his advocacy of a firm interventionist line in Vietnam in an effort to halt the perceived spread of communism. Having been appointed secretary of state by Kennedy, he continued in that office under Lyndon Johnson, before retiring in 1969 to teach international law at the University of Georgia. Liberal on social issues but hawkish and internationalist on external matters, Rusk was an archetypal 'defence Democrat'.

Design and Implementation
Computers are predictable devices. Indeed, it is hard to find randomness in a system whose behavior is entirely programmed. The environment of the machine, however, is full of noise that is accessible and non-deterministic. Such sources include the timing of various hardware devices and user interaction. For example, the time between key presses, the movement of the mouse, the timingparticularly the low-order bits of such timingbetween certain interrupts, and the time taken to complete a block I/O request are all both non-deterministic and not measurable by an outside attacker. Randomness from these values is taken and fed into the entropy pool. The pool grows to become a random and unpredictable mixture of noise. As the values are added to the pool, an estimate of the randomness is calculated and a tally is kept. This allows the kernel to keep track of the entropy in the pool. Figure B.1 is a diagram of the flow of entropy into and out of the pool.
Figure B.1. The flow of entropy into and out of the kernel entropy pool.
The kernel provides a set of interfaces to allow access to the entropy pool, both from within the kernel and from user-space. When the interfaces are accessed, the kernel first takes the SHA hash of the pool. SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a message digest algorithm developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and made a U.S. federal standard by NIST (via FIPS 186). A message digest is an algorithm that takes a variable-sized input (small or large) and outputs a fixed-size hash value (typically 128 or 160 bits) that is a "digest" of the original input. From the outputted hash value, the input cannot be reconstructed. Further, trivial manipulations to the input (for example, changing a single character) result in a radically different hash value. Message digest algorithms have various uses, including data verification and fingerprinting. Other message digest algorithms include MD4 and MD5. The SHA hash, not the raw contents of the pool, is returned to the user; the contents of the entropy pool are never directly accessible. It is assumed impossible to derive any information about the state of the pool from the SHA hash. Therefore, knowing some values from the pool does not lend any knowledge to past or future values. Nonetheless, the kernel can use the entropy estimate to refuse to return data if the pool has zero entropy. As entropy is read from the pool, the entropy estimate is decreased in response to how much information is now known about the pool.
When the estimate reaches zero, the kernel can still return random numbers. Theoretically, however, an attacker is then capable of inferring future output given prior output. This would require that the attacker have nearly all the prior outputs from the entropy pool and that the attacker successfully perform cryptanalysis on SHA. Because SHA is believed to be secure, this possibility is not feasible. To high-security cryptography users who accept no risk, however, the entropy estimate ensures the strength of the random numbers. To the vast majority of users this extra assurance is not needed.
The Dilemma of System Startup
When the kernel first boots, it completes a series of actions that are almost entirely predictable. Consequently, an attacker is able to infer much about the state of the entropy pool at boot. Worse, each boot is largely similar to the next and the pool would initialize to largely the same contents on each boot. This reduces the accuracy of the entropy estimate, which has no way of knowing that the entropy contributed during the boot sequence is less predictable than entropy contributed at other times.
To offset this problem, most Linux systems save some information from the entropy pool across system shutdowns. They do this by saving the contents of the entropy pool on each shutdown. When the system boots, the data is read and fed into /dev/urandom. This effectively loads the previous contents of the pool into the current pool, without increasing the entropy estimate.

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

economic sphere. Shevchenko О.А., Burlakova I.A., Sheviakov О.V., Agarkov O.A., Shramko I.A. A theoretical and methodological approach to the study of the process of professional health of specialists in the economic sphere was developed, which allowed to distinguish professionally important qualities of a specialist influencing his professional health, as well as to predict their transformation in changing social conditions. The peculiarities of the dynamics of the process of occupational health of specialists in the economic sphere (the stage of "primary formation" and undefined attitude to the profession; "personal-activity" stage - realization of social status at the level of the professional community; "professional-ethical" stage – values-based attitude to the profession) are revealed. Types of values-based attitude relation (neutral; pragmatic-realistic; values-based) to professional activity and peculiarities of their manifestations in specialists of economic sphere having different experience of such activity are determined. It is shown that the dynamics of professional becoming of specialists in the economic sphere is associated with the activation of changes in the internal and external environment of the subject of activity. The conceptual model of formation and preservation of professional health of specialists of the economic sphere is offered, implemented as a theoretical and methodological strategy of the systemic and holistic process in the direction of ensuring its effectiveness, presented in the form of an image of a healthy person, responsibly managing his own health and realizing himself in society, and an image of a specialist who independently sets the goals of formation and preservation of professional health, chooses the best ways and means and achievements. The developed model provides a qualitatively new level of personal, physical, professional and social readiness of the person for self-realization in the professional economic sphere of activity and successful integration into society.

Abstract. Analysis of the statute and the first year of the activities of Lviv Society of Halician Physicians («Towаrzystwo lekarzów Galicyjskich»). Berest I.R., Berest R.Ya., Pasichnyk M.S., Savchuk H.M., Oliynyk M.A. Based on the principle of historicism, system analysis, structural functionalism, dialectics and synergetics, the paper analyzes the charter and activity the of the Lviv Society of Halician Physicians, the first trade union organization in the medical sphere. Contemporary codition as well as development of historiography of the issue including the history of the medical and trade union movement, the names of the Society founders is shown. The crucial problem among physicians of the second half of the nineteenth century which was in line with the problems of all population segments is proved. This organization played a prominent role in the development of medicine in Halychyna. The activity of the Society was regulated by the charter. Each member, when joining the Society, assumed the obligation to comply with all the provisions of the charter and had to care for its growth and the glory of the organization. Acting members had to be present at scientific meetings and provide observations on the status of the medical case. That is, to provide statistics on the diseases and patients they have been treated, as well as to share the experience gained in practice. The purpose of the organization and its activities were primarily socio-economic and cultural-educational ones. Under its control, the Society kept a record of the movement of patients in Lviv hospitals (kept statistics of all cured patients), analyzed new methods in the treatment of fever, various pathologies and other issues. The members of the Society promised to meet every first Saturday of the month to participate in scientific meetings. They discussed major events in the life of the organization, read correspondence and planned work for the next month. Once a year, in December, the Society of Galician physicions held an annual meeting, which provided a full annual financial report, discussed the issues of new members and those who left the organization, announced the names of new honorary and advisory members.

Alison McInnis is conducting a research project on oral language skills and executive functions in children with ADHD, and is looking to recruit participants between 9-14 years of age. The study involves assessment of basic and higher level oral language skills, reading, writing, and executive functions (e.g., working memory, problem-solving).
Alison is a registered Speech-Language Pathologist and so can offer parents a clinical report about their child's language, reading, and writing skills, which could be of benefit at their child's school. In her past research experience, parents have been quite positive about having oral language skills assessed as this is typically not a focus of assessments their children have received at school. Also, in older children, this area is often overlooked and yet many children with ADHD have issues with oral language skills that also underlie their academic difficulties.

For 2020, Cushman has identified three key environmental trends for real estate: new legislation, investor caution on environmental-related issues and the utilisation of data to help assess climate risk.
Andrew Phipps Head of EMEA Research & Insight, at Cushman & Wakefield explains:
"Legislators are still pressing the real estate industry: across Europe, we identified more than 1,500 national policies and measures at mitigating climate change in ways connected to real estate – and this will increase over the next decade. Energy consumption and energy supply made the majority (44%) of the reported policies, followed by transport (21%). Improving energy efficiency of buildings is among the main goals of these policies.
"Investors are still waiting for occupiers to confirm a strong demand for 'green' properties. Investment managers are increasingly aware that long-term profitability will suffer if they are not able to include climate risk in their pricing, but they do not necessarily understand climate risk well enough to accurately price in climate-oriented features. As with electric cars or organic vegetables, people want these and know they should have them – but they don't necessarily want to pay for them.
"There is, however increasing evidence that corporate occupiers are willing to pay increased or premium rents for such assets. Investment managers are increasingly aware that, if they are not able to include climate risk in their pricing, this will probably have impacts on their portfolio as it could hurt the long-term profitability of their assets. But market players do not sufficiently understand climate risks enough to price them in today.
"Various technologies are emerging to help investors price properties with climate features more accurately. These tools analyse the vulnerability of assets to climate risks, as well as the impact of such risks on market value; data is then used to guide the programming, planning and costing of necessary mitigation work, alongside an estimate of the consequent financial impact.
"Investors will increase their interest in analysing climate change and related risk as this will affect the profitability of their portfolios. Above all, institutional investors with long term strategies, like Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF) and state-owned banks."

WWU professor earns award for CO2 breakdown research
John Gilbertson, an assistant professor of chemistry at Western Washington University, has been awarded a five-year, $470,000 Early Career Development Award from the National Science Foundation for his research into breaking down harmful greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and transforming them into useful compounds.
The award was one of only a handful given out to master's-granting institutions, such as WWU, and it is the university's third such award in three years.
Gilbertson and his team of students are investigating how to use cheap, Earth-abundant metals to transform the typically unreactive carbon dioxide molecule into useful chemicals and fuels, such as syngas and methanol.
One practical application of Gilbertson's research is a parallel use of the existing coal-to-liquids process that turns coal into syngas. But Gilbertson's processes eliminate the need to use coal altogether.
Gas-to-liquids technology, using the current boom on natural gas production in North America, also offers similar paths for Gilbertson and his researchers.
The research component of his award will fund two undergraduates and one graduate student per year as research assistants.
Besides the research component to the grant, the award also funds a curricular/outreach effort that Gilbertson is tentatively calling "Scientist Citizen." Gilbertson will be working with a student team to produce a series of videos focused on science-education topics of regional and national interest through traditional and digital media outlets such as YouTube and public television.

Gmail Child Account
I was visiting a friend the other day and his young child was complaining that she wanted an e-mail address. She wanted one to keep in touch with her aunt and uncle, who had told her to e-mail them. My friend explained to her that she could use his, but she wanted one with her name in it. My friend was wary of creating one for her, because of all the bad spam she'd get and he also wondered how he would be able to monitor her account.
Well, when I went home, I did some research and found out that users of the Gmail e-mail program can create a parent and child account. Cool, huh?! Read on for some more details.
If you want to create a sub-account (child account), just follow these directions:
1.) Log in to your Gmail account.
2.) In the upper right hand corner, click Settings.
3.) Select the link that says Accounts. Below that, select the link that says "Add another e-mail address."
4.) When asked what e-mail address you'd like, type your Gmail user name, followed by a plus sign and the name of the child's account, with no spaces. For example, if your Gmail address was _EMAIL_ and the child's name was Jenna, you'd type in _EMAIL_. When you have finished, click the Next Step button.
5.) Now, when your child goes to compose an e-mail, in the From: drop down menu, they can select their account instead of yours.
Any messages or replies sent to that account will appear in your Inbox and you can tell your child when they have a new message. It's the perfect way to give your child what they want, but still keep a close eye on what they do while on the Internet.
You can even create multiple child accounts. Heck, they don't even necessarily have to be for a child. They can be for whatever you like!
Not a shabby deal, huh?!

Teach your preschooler early math skills by having him help you sort laundry. He'll be using color recognition, categorizing and counting skills.
What you'll need
- Dirty laundry of various colors
Here's how to do it
Before you put the laundry in the washer have your child help you sort the whites from the darks. Explain why mixing white and dark colored clothing can cause the dark colors to come off on the white colors. You could even make this more fun by sorting more colors (blues, reds, etc.)
When the laundry is clean have your child focus on a particular task. You might ask him to make a pile of shirts, pants or socks. You could also have him count the number of shirts in the pile. Another time you can have your child sort the socks by color or size. Who knew doing the laundry could be so fun!

In a year of extreme weather patterns, Purdue University agronomists advise farmers to harvest their grain wetter than usual.
Drought conditions have severely stressed much of the corn crop in many parts of Indiana, causing stalks to weaken and some plants to die prematurely. In order to avoid additional problems, agronomists say this may be the year to harvest the crop at a higher grain moisture content than normal and pay to dry the corn crop with grain dryers.
"The risk of further stalk damage and yield loss while crops are allowed to dry in the field may not offset the additional expense of mechanical drying this fall, particularly when corn prices are about $1/bu higher than those of one year ago," says Tony Vyn, agronomist.
Indiana farmers typically harvest corn at 15-20% moisture content – that's after the corn has had time to dry from 30% moisture at maturity, Vyn said. Under normal conditions, crops usually dry about 0.5% per day.
"This year we suggest harvesting corn at about 25%moisture," Vyn says. "That will help minimize yield loss due to corn stalk lodging and ears dropping to the ground."
Stalks are weak because dry weather late in the growing season caused the plants to transfer material from the stalks to the developing ears, he adds. Weak stalks tend to lodge, or fall over, and also are prone to stalk rot disease.
"You can test to see how weak the corn stalks are by pushing against them," he says. "Harvest those fields first that are prone to lodging."
Weakened roots from soil compaction, typical of a crop planted under wet conditions like those found last spring, also contribute to lodging and stalk rot.
Extension agronomist Bob Nielsen says projected corn yields are already down due to various stresses, and harvesting wet may protect from further mechanical harvest losses.
"The key is that farmers can harvest corn that is wetter than normal without a lot of machine damage to the kernels," he said. "The downside to waiting is that you might lose everything on the ground if stalk rot sets in."
It's dry now, but should the rains return, new problems can occur.
"Last fall, harvest was interrupted by a rainy October," Nielsen says. "When farmers got back in the fields in November, stalk rot had set in."
In some of the drier regions of Indiana, the corn harvest is already under way.
"There's a sense of urgency about this year's harvest," Vyn says. "In pockets around the state there are some good crops, but for many farmers, the sense is that they better get their crop out of the field while they can in order to prevent any additional yield losses."
In addition to the corn crop, soybeans stressed by drought are dying prematurely and should also be harvested early.
Vyn says stressed soybeans are at risk of pod shattering.
"It varies by variety, but the heat and dry weather during the pod filling stage stresses the plants, making it more likely that the seed pods will break, dropping the seeds to the ground," he says.
"Due to delayed planting, and this summer's dry conditions, many soybean fields will mature late and have a great deal of seed moisture and yield variability to them. I suggest farmers try to harvest the most mature fields first, even if that means harvesting only partial fields and leaving the less mature areas for later harvesting."

The mental health of minors in crisis after the pandemic
S. F.
The pandemic that we are living is leaving us with important physical, economic, social and psychological consequences. While it is true that the physical consequences of this destructive virus are not so destructive in minors, the psychological consequences are. This has also been revealed by the AEP (Spanish Association of Pediatrics), who has published a recent report stating that the Psychiatric emergencies in minors since the beginning of the pandemic have been increased by 50%.
Experts insist that it is key to pay close attention to detecting cases in time to be able to apply a correct treatment and solve a problem that is not aggravated later. López Ibor Clinicthat have seen a large increase, both in consultation and in the emergency room, of minor patients since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis. Confinement, restrictions, changes and the impossibility of movement, social and labor uncertainty have been important factors in aggravating the mental situation of young people, who in crises like these become more vulnerable. At this time, we must emphasize that prevention is the key to avoiding future problems.
From the psychiatry and psychology department of the López Ibor Clinic they emphasize that young people find themselves with a mental health problem that must be treated, such as depression and anxiety, which usually appear at this stage as it is an important vital moment in the development of the person, and after the effects of the pandemic they can generate greater vulnerability, as well as Addictions (screens, alcohol, drugs …), Eating disorders …
READ Spaniards' desire for sex increases when their house is this way
They place special emphasis on emotional overflow and the intensity with which experiences are perceived at this stage of life, since if they are not managed properly it can lead to maladaptive behaviors such as self-harm derived from high levels of anxiety or
destructive behaviors that can lead to suicidal ideation.
The months that we have had to live have also increased other disorders such as
Obsessive Compulsive (OCD).
As the medical team of the López Ibor Clinic explains, the current situation has been able to exacerbate symptoms in patients who already had the OCD diagnosis, or trigger it in people who had never presented these symptoms, as they are unfortunately seeing from the consultations of the experts of the López Ibor Clinic. And it seems that this unfortunate and inevitably pandemic is making many of us a bit obsessive, given the dramatic human consequences that we have experienced in our own flesh, or that we have glimpsed through the media.
How to remedy in time?
It is essential to go to a professional who detects the problem and can prescribe a specific treatment. In minors, emphasis is placed on the importance of reinforcing the communication that is maintained, both from the family and at school, and greater control over social networks and over the viral challenges that are starting and reaching greater popularity. Although, it all depends on the specific problem of the child, in the case of those related to depression, here are some tips for the family member, to indicate that something is happening and thus avoid a worsening of the problem:
READ children's novels to make children love to read
1. Show your empathy.
2. Offer your support and company.
3. Help him ask for help
4. Encourage their activation
5. Reinforce your achievements
6. Avoid blame
7. Don't overprotect him
8. Divert your attention from suffering
9. Accept that it is a slow process
10. Anticipate risk
The professionals of the López Ibor Clinic conclude that from the point of view of cognitive development, the rational and emotional part of the adolescent brain is developing, for this reason they are more impulsive and have a lower capacity to think about the consequences of their acts.

Why do kissing gouramis kiss each other? Does this signify that I have a pair?
It seems most likely that this strange kissing ritual has actually
evolved as a way of settling disputes, without the fish having
resorting to more aggressive behaviour, rather than as a sign of
affection. It could be a trial of strength. Kissing gouramis (Helostoma temminckii
anchor their fleshy lips together, until one breaks the contact.
cannot sex these fish visually outside the breeding period - only when
the female then swells with eggs can they be distinguished. There are
two colours in existence - the natural grey form, and the more commonly-kept rose-pink domesticated variety. These do not reflect a difference

They say the gesture allows a bug named Cytomegalovirus, which is dangerous in pregnancy, to be passed from man to woman to give her time to build up protection against it.The bug is found in saliva and normally causes no problems. But it can be extremely dangerous if caught while pregnant and can kill unborn babies or cause birth defects.Writing in the journal Medical Hypotheses, researcher Dr Colin Hendrie from the University of Leeds, said: "Female inoculation with a specific male's cytomegalovirus is most efficiently achieved through mouth-to-mouth contact and saliva exchange, particularly where the flow of saliva is from the male to the typically shorter female."
The experiments showed this fecal armor could successfully repel predators. Often the predators did not even investigate the potential meals, presumably because the beetles fooled them into believing they were just turds.
A group of University of Kansas researchers working with Chinese colleagues have discovered a venomous, birdlike raptor that thrived some 128 million years ago in China. This is the first report of venom in the lineage that leads to modern birds."This thing is a venomous bird for all intents and purposes," said Larry Martin, KU professor and curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Institute. "It was a real shock to us and we made a special trip to China to work on this."
If ever there was a story that illustrated the lengths a male will go to have sex, it is this. Male Muscovy ducks have a penis up to 40 centimetres long – almost half the length of their body – but that's just one of the twists and turns in the story of how female and male ducks try to outsmart each other.A female Muscovy duck chooses a mate based on her assessment of his courtship and plumage. But rejected males don't give up easily, and can force copulation on unwilling females. The long, flexible penis helps them do so.So females have evolved to wrest back control of copulation, says Patricia Brennan at Yale University. "The males and females become locked in this arms race, each trying to dominate the outcome. It's fascinating to find such a clear and obvious example of sexual conflict."...Brennan's team also timed the male's penis eversion, which took a mere one-third of a second – around 60 times faster than was previously thought (see video above). "This definitely gives the males a mechanism by which they can copulate," says Brennan, who was taken aback by the speed. "To be totally honest, I'm still in shock," she says.

Native soil carbon (C) can be lost in response to fresh C inputs, a phenomenon observed for decades yet still not understood. Using dual-stable isotope probing, we show that changes in the diversity and composition of two functional bacterial groups occur with this 'priming' effect. A single-substrate pulse suppressed native soil C loss and reduced bacterial diversity, whereas repeated substrate pulses stimulated native soil C loss and increased diversity. Increased diversity after repeated C amendments contrasts with resource competition theory, and may be explained by increased predation as evidenced by a decrease in bacterial 16S rRNA gene copies. Our results suggest that biodiversity and composition of the soil microbial community change in concert with its functioning, with consequences for native soil C stability.

"If you don't know how to tie knots, then tie a lot." You have most likely heard that before, or may have even said it yourself. We are here to fix that. Rather than just 10 knots, we assembled five knots and five hitches that are all easy to learn and tie. But before diving into them, it's important to understand a few knot-tying terms so you can get the most from our suggestions.
- Working End (aka the Running End): The end of the rope that is used to tie the knot. The rest of the rope is referred to as the standing part.
- Loop: When you place the working end of the rope over or under the standing part of the rope you form a loop.
- Bight: When you double back part of the rope against itself without crossing over it's called a bight.
- Knot: A knot is used to join two ropes together or a rope to itself.
- Hitch: A hitch is used to fix a rope to another object. Some sources suggest a hitch is a type of knot, but a distinction is warranted for many.
- Bend: A type of knot used to join two lengths of cordage.
Here are 10 useful outdoor knots and hitches that almost anyone could tie blindfolded. Please also note that these knots and hitches are not intended for use in climbing or rappelling unless specifically mentioned to do so.
5 Basic Knots to Use in the Outdoors
1. The Bowline Knot
The bowline is often referred to as the "king of knots" and for a good reason. It is an incredibly useful knot that has been around for a very long time. (One was found on the rigging of an excavated Pharaoh's ship dating to 2500 BCE.) It is also one of the coolest mnemonics ever put together to help everyone learn how to tie it.
How to tie a bowline knot:
- Form a loop made near the working end of the rope. Consider that loop a "rabbit hole." Now take hold of your working end, "the rabbit."
- Push the "rabbit" up through it's "hole."
- The rabbit comes out of the hole and around a "tree" (the standing part of the rope). After rounding the tree, the rabbit goes back down the hole.
You can tighten up the bowline knot by grasping the working end and the side of the loop and remove any slack.
The greatest thing about this knot is you can put it under lots of pressure and it will still untie rather easily. As mentioned, the bowline is an excellent choice for sailors to tie down a boat, including your favorite canoe or kayak. You can also use it to hang your hammock for quick and easy setup, and takedown. It gets a lot of use as a rescue knot to tie around a person very securely without squeezing and hurting them. In short, anytime you need a secure loop in a rope, that is easy to untie after use, the bowline is the one to know.
2. The Heaving Line knot
The heaving line knot is simple and is put together to add bulk and weight to the end of a rope so it can be thrown more easily. It's great for throwing cordage up to a person in a deer stand, throwing rope from your boat to a dock, or throwing a rope over a branch to hang a bear bag in a tree.
How to tie a heaving line knot:
- Make two bights and put them next to one another.
- Pass the working end through the top bight and wrap it around both strands of cordage, ensuring the line does not cross on the way down.
- Push the working end through the opening of the bottom bight to finish the knot.
- Tighten up any slack by first pulling the top loop, then down on the remaining cordage.
3. The Prusik Knot
This is a great knot to impress friends and influence people with. It is a knot that slides when you want it to slide and grabs when you want it to grab. This a great knot to tie along another rope (second rope must be bigger in diameter for it to be effective), or along a cylindrical pipe or tube.
How to tie a Prusik knot:
- Form a loop that you lay upon the rope, pipe, etc. you are tying to.
- Wrap the cordage three times, inside the loop.
- Ensure that the turns lie next to one another and do not cross.
- Pull the knot tight.
When you need it to slide, grasp it at the turns and slide it along. When you need it to bind, pull from the extended, looped end. This serves as a great backup for climbers and those who rappel. It also serves as a great way to tie off ends of a tarp on a ridgeline, or to help secure gear or a person on a steep incline.
4. The Fisherman's Knot
This is most commonly known as a knot. Technically though, anytime you tie two pieces of cordage together it is a bend, so you will hear it called both names. As you would guess, this is used to join two pieces of cordage that are similar in size, together.
How to tie a Fisherman's Knot:
- Bring the working ends of two ropes together. The working ends should be pointing in opposite directions of one another.
- Use one working end to tie an overhand knot around the other rope's working end. Then repeat those steps with the second piece of cordage.
- Tighten each individual knot, then slide the two knots together by pulling on each rope. Each knot serves as a stopper for the other.
As a safety measure, you can tie off the "tail" left behind along the rope as well. The best thing about this knot is that even after it is put under lots of pressure, it unties rather easily. It's a great basic knot to use any time you need to join ropes.
5. The Square Knot (Also Known as The Reef Knot)
This is arguably the best-known knot but not the safest by a long shot. This knot is used to tie two ends or two different pieces of cordage together. It will get the job done but be forewarned that it should not be used when a lot of pressure is expected (because it is nearly impossible to untie) or when its use is critical (because it is also known to fail). It is a very quick and dirty knot that gets the job done. This is usually the first knot we all learn because it is the underlying knot when we tie our shoes. We just add some bights to make it easy to untie. This knot is also commonly used to tie a bandana around your neck so that it hangs symmetrically. There are many variations to this simple knot but here is one set of steps for tying two ropes together.
How to tie a square knot:
- Tie two overhand knots, with the left over the right, then the right over left.
- Ensure that each working end exit exits with the standing end of its own rope.
5 Basic Hitches to Use in the Outdoors
1. The Trucker's Hitch
The funny thing about a trucker's hitch is that is also called a paddler's hitch, power cinch knot, and even a farmer's hitch. It seems everyone wants to claim it, and for a good reason. This hitch is a great set up to help pull a rope tight and keep it under pressure, then untie it easily for another day. As you can expect this hitch is used to secure loads down to anything. You can secure a deer to an ATV, a canoe to a truck, create a ridgeline for shelter, and so much more.
How to tie a trucker's hitch:
- Form a bight in the cordage and use it to make a "pulley" in the rope. The "pulley" can be a simple overhand loop, figure-8, or alpine butterfly.
- Wrap the tail of the rope around a secure point, then back through the loop you created in step 1.
- Finish securing the knot with two half hitches (see below) that are below the loop.
- Use a half hitch knot with a bight for a quick release adaptation.

2. Two Half Hitches
Tying two half hitch knots (never just one) is a great way to secure a rope to a post, tree, ATV, truck, tractor, or basically anything. It is often used to tie off a canoe to a bank, hang deer for processing, secure tarps to stakes, or to secure more gear to your pack. It works well, especially in concert with other hitches or connection points in which you can pull it tightly to hold a load.
How to tie two half hitches:
- Take the working end of your cordage and pass it around your connection point (pole, tree, etc) then around itself.
- Then pass the working end between the ropes to make one half-hitch. Remember, only one is very insecure.
- Pass the working end around the rope again to make the second half hitch knot.
- Dress up the half-hitches to remove any slack and push them together for something more secure.
3. The Clove Hitch
The clove hitch knot is tied two different ways depending upon how it is being used. Method number one involves tying it to a post or tree that you cannot reach the top of.
How to tie a clove hitch (method one):
- Make a turn with your working end around the tree.
- Cross over the standing part of the

Habitat selection by the common wombat (Vombatus ursinus) in disturbed environments: Implications for the conservation of a 'common' species
- Publication Type:

- Biological Conservation, 2007, 137 (3), pp. 437 - 449
- Issue Date:
The construction of habitat models is a repeatable technique for describing and mapping species distributions, the utility of which lies in enabling management to predict where a species is likely to occur within a landscape. Typically, habitat models have been used to establish habitat requirements for threatened species; however they have equal applicability for modelling local populations of common species. Often, few data exist on local populations of common species, and issues of abundance and habitat selection at varying scales are rarely addressed. We provide a habitat suitability model for the common wombat (Vombatus ursinus) in southern New South Wales. This species is currently perceived as abundant throughout its extensive range across temperate regions of eastern Australia, yet little factual survey data exist and populations appear under threat. We use wombat burrows to reflect habitat selection and as our basis for ecological modelling. We found that environmental variables representing proximity to cover, measures of vegetation and proximity to watercourses are important predictors of burrow presence. Extrapolation of habitat models identified an abundance of habitat suitable for burrows. However, burrows in many suitable areas were abandoned. Our estimate of the population size was similar to the total annual mortality associated with road-kill. Theoretically, given the availability of suitable habitat, common wombat populations in the region should be thriving. It seems likely that this area once supported a much higher number of wombats; however limiting factors such as road mortality and disease have reduced the populations. The persistence of wombats in the study region must be supported by migration from other populations. Our findings challenge the perception that wombats are currently common and not in need of monitoring, suggesting that perceptions of abundance are often clouded by socio-political motives rather than informed by biological and ecological factors. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

text: How we make decisions that have direct consequences for ourselves and others forms the moral foundation of our society. Whereas economic theory contends that humans aim at maximizing their own gains, recent seminal psychological work suggests that our behavior is instead hyperaltruistic: We are more willing to sacrifice gains to spare others from harm than to spare ourselves from harm. To investigate how such egoistic and hyperaltruistic tendencies influence moral decision making, we investigated trade-off decisions combining monetary rewards and painful electric shocks, administered to the participants themselves or an anonymous other. Whereas we replicated the notion of hyperaltruism (i.e., the willingness to forego reward to spare others from harm), we observed strongly egoistic tendencies in participants' unwillingness to harm themselves for others' benefit. The moral principle guiding intersubject trade-off decision making observed in our study is best described as egoistically biased altruism, with important implications for our understanding of economic and social interactions in our society.


12 (2009) Review
People who recall recent entertainment history will recognize 12 from the 80th Academy Awards in 2008. 12 was nominated for Best Foreign Film, which was ultimately won by The Counterfeiters. People who recall entertainment history in general will recognize Sidney Lumet's Twelve Angry Men from 1957 in this modern Russian adaptation. Writer/director Nikita Mikhalkov makes a worthy effort to go beyond simply "remaking" and instead reaches for the lofty heights of "reimagining" the source material. While a few aspects are contrived, overall 12 succeeds in emerging as a mostly original work.
The plot revolves around 12 male jurors who have just finished hearing the last day of a murder trial. The accused is a teenage boy from war torn Chechnya and charged with murdering his army-officer stepfather, the penalty for which is life imprisonment. The jurors are isolated in a school gym next to the courthouse to deliberate the seemingly open-and-shut case and agree on a unanimous decision. After the first vote, only one juror (Sergey Makovetsky) dissents and votes "not guilty," worried that a unanimous decision would be made too quickly. As discussion proceeds, jurors' stances shift back and forth as closer examinations of the facts are performed and new arguments raised. Along the way to unanimity, each man bares a little of his own soul, confronting personal doubts, demons and prejudices.
12 separates itself from the original in many ways. First, it's been beefed up to actually feel like a feature film, unlike the anemic source material that smacked of a televised play. Here, the point of view steps out of the makeshift jury room to flesh out the life of the accused with short flashbacks of him as a child, surviving through the violence of an ever-present war. It's during these scenes that the production value of the film shines. For a script that really doesn't require anything more than a room and 12 actors, 12 goes out of its way to present a very real world full of scrappy soldiers, muzzle flash, derelict tanks, incessant rain and indomitable spirit. Fortunately, these scenes are mostly handled with aplomb, with only a handful of them feeling indulgent, like the dog carrying something shiny in its mouth that doesn't come into focus until the end.
Furthermore, the characters are less archetypal in 12. When the single dissenter casts his not guilty vote for the first time, he appears less motivated by some crusade to try the case over amongst themselves and more inspired by common decency. Later, of course, we find out he really does just want to settle his suspicions, but the beginning timidity is refreshing, realistic and handled well by Makovetsky. Interestingly, he isn't necessarily the protagonist. He's merely the catalyst that gets the men talking. Instead, almost every actor becomes the star of the film as each man becomes the focus of discussion when they deliver personal monologues about corruption, hope and redemption. While not every speech is memorable or poignant, each actor truly commands the screen during their respective moments.
The direction is also first-rate in that it manages to keep the idea of 12 men in a room from getting stale. All the while, unflinching long takes also make the viewer actually feel like a 13th juror. This is a tremendous accomplishment, considering the two and half-hour length of the film. This aspect only helps to immerse the audience even further as viewers will no doubt share the jurors' frustration when a unanimous decision still hasn't been reached after two hours.
One small criticism would be regarding the subtitles. The entire film is spoken in Russian and the white subtitles are sometimes displayed over light backgrounds, making them hard to read, but these moments are few and far between. They certainly won't mitigate the enjoyment to be had by much. For fans of well written dialog, natural acting, thoughtful direction and a premise that's as powerful today as it was 50 years ago, 12 shouldn't be missed.


Object JavaScript – Getting Started with Modules Using RequireJS
imageRequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It is optimized for in-browser use, but it can be used in other JavaScript environments, like Rhino and NodeJS. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code.
When a project reaches a certain size, managing the script modules for a project starts to get tricky. You need to be sure to sequence the scripts in the right order, and you need to start seriously thinking about combining scripts together into a bundle for deployment, so that only one or a very small number of requests are made to load the scripts.
You may also want to load code on the fly, after page load.
RequireJS can help you manage the script modules, load them in the right order, and make it easy to combine the scripts later via the RequireJS optimizer without needing to change your markup. It also gives you an easy way to load scripts after the page has loaded, allowing you to spread out the download size over time.
RequireJS has a module system that lets you define well-scoped modules, but you do not have to follow that system to get the benefits of dependency management and build-time optimizations. Over time, if you start to create more modular code that needs to be reused in a few places, the module format for RequireJS makes it easy to write encapsulated code that can be loaded on the fly. It can grow with you, particularly if you want to incorporate internationalization (i18n) string bundles, to localize your project for different languages, or load some HTML strings and make sure those strings are available before executing code, or even use JSONP services as dependencies.
From the RequireJS documentation:
A module is different from a traditional script file in that it defines a well-scoped object that avoids polluting the global namespace. It can explicitly list its dependencies and get a handle on those dependencies without needing to refer to global objects, but instead receive the dependencies as arguments to the function that defines the module. Modules in RequireJS are an extension of the Module Pattern, with the benefit of not needing globals to refer to other modules.
RequireJS is compatible with IE 6 and greater, Firefox 2 and greater, Safari 3.2 and greater, Chrome 3 and greater, and Opera 10 and greater.
How to Get Require.js
All you need to start using require.js is the browser. Then you add the RequireJS library in your Scripts of src folder.
 - If you are running on Node.js, and want to use npm to install this file via npm, see the Use with Node page for more information.
 - You can get it from from requirejs.org.
 - Available in NuGet for your Visual Studio projects.
Using Require.JS
To begin, you can think of RequireJS as having two parts. Let's say you want to create your own code that has certain requirements. You do this by:
 - Defining a module. In this step, you'll write the code that you want to execute and describe its dependencies.
 - Requiring a module. Once you define your module, you can use it in your main code.
 - Starting up your module. In this step, you'll see how to load RequireJS, your code, and the code that is required.
 - Incorporating libraries, such as jQuery, which does not provide support for RequireJS out of the box. In this step, you'll see how you can use libraries as modules.
Quick Note About Namespaces in JavaScript Modules
We did a lot of discussion about namespace and their goodness in Scope, Namespaces, "use strict". With modules, you already have a naming convention that you use when you define the module.
Define a Module
You can define a module in three steps:
 1. Give your module a ModuleID.
 2. Define dependencies. Dependencies are defined as an array. If there are no dependencies, then it is an empty array. Otherwise, you can have a list in an array.
 3. Define the module factory. This is the code that you want to execute in your module.
Here's where the files in this post.
In step 1, you define your module with a module ID.
Next you can define the dependencies. Use RequireJS's define method to define your module. You pass in the name of the module as the first parameter, then an array of dependencies, followed by the thing you want to do.
// in Scripts/discount.js
// Module ID
// no dependencies here, but RequireJS is smart enough to figure that out
// but if you had some, they would go here
// the thing you want to do
function () {
// properties
var pct = 0,
// methods
calculateDiscount = function (level) {
switch (level) {
case 'partner':
pct = 10;
case 'employee':
pct = 27;
pct = 0;
return pct;
return {
calculateDiscount: calculateDiscount
Now the moduleID is optional, as are the list of dependencies.
IMPORTANT: Only one module should be defined per JavaScript file, given the nature of the module name-to-file-path lookup algorithm.
The ModuleID
The ModuleID is actually optional, and is often not needed. The default moduleID is its filename (but without the.js extension). When you want to require a module as a dependency, you can do so by passing the path to that file. You will see that in the next section.
The dependencies
The dependencies are names of modules. And these dependencies are passed to your module in the same order they were in the dependency array.
The module's factory function
The module's factory function uses the revealing module pattern. The function will be called to define the module once all dependencies have loaded. The function should return an object that defines the module. The dependencies will be passed to the definition function as function arguments, listed in the same order as the order in the dependency array.
Sample of a module with a dependency
In the following example, the product module needs access to the discount module to perform some action. In this case the product module uses the discount module to calculate a price after a discount is applied.
// in project.js
// an optional module ID
// this module needs the discount.js as a dependency
// the requireJS loader provides discount as a parameter.
// if you have more than one in the array above, then you get
// them in the same order for your function.
function (discount) {
// properties
var productName = '';
var price = 1;
var discountedPrice = function (level) {
return price (price * discount.calculatDiscount(level));
return {
productName: productName,
price: price,
discountedPrice: discountedPrice
Require a Module
Now that you have your module, you will want to require it before you perform some function. For example, you might want to use
For example, a function can require jQuery and some code you have written in a module called discount and alterter from above. Your function can then safely use dataservice and alerter, knowing that it has been loaded before this function is called.
// on product.html
// load the discount.js and use that module to calculate employee discount
// name of module that is required, ie the depenency
// the function that uses the discount object
function (discount) {
var d = discount.calculateDiscount('employee');
document.write('employee discount is'+ d + '%');
Shim Config to Help the Loader
Ideally the scripts you load will be modules that are defined by calling define(). However, you may need to use some traditional/legacy "browser globals" scripts that do not express their dependencies via define(). For those, you can use the shim config. To properly express their dependencies.
//By default load any module IDs from js/lib
baseUrl: 'Scripts',
//except, if the module ID starts with "app",
//load it from the Scripts/app directory. paths
//config is relative to the baseUrl, and
//never includes a ".js" extension since
//the paths config could be for a directory.
paths: {
app: '../app'
Starting RequireJS
You tell your Web page where to find require.js:
Then you can run your config and find and run code that has dependencies.
The entire page would look like this:
Simple RequireJS Sample
//By default load any module IDs from Scripts folder
baseUrl: 'Scripts'
function (discount) {
var d = discount.calculateDiscount('employee');
Loader Plugins
You can extend the functionality of RequireJS through plugins. I've found them to be quite useful. These are useful loader plugins:
 - dom-ready. Wait for the DOM is ready. Useful for pausing execution of top level application logic until the DOM is ready for querying/modification.
 - cs (CoffeeScript). Load files written in CoffeeScript.
 - i18n. Load string bundles used in internationalization (i18n) that are made up of separate country/language/locale-specific bundles.
Sample Code


A combustion and propulsion test cell A combustion and propulsion test cell dyno
A combustion and propulsion test cell contains a 300-hp eddy current dynamometer linked to either the FSAE engine or a DC motor/battery-electric powertrain. A custom-built 7-hp AC dynamometer allows students to research the combustion stability limits of a homogeneous charge compression ignition engine. In this lab, students get the chance to disassemble, analyze, and reassemble a series of Briggs & Stratton engines; a small gas turbine engine has also been under development for several years. Fundamental combustion studies are performed in fume hoods to determine the effects of fuel-air flow rate and equivalence ratio on laminar flame speed. A research engine outfitted with a quartz cylinder liner gives students the ability to watch the combustion process of a running engine while taking in-cylinder pressure data in real-time.

The Banking and Currency Crises in Bulgaria: 1996 - 1997
The paper examines the nature of the Bulgarian banking and currency crises in _PHONE_ and evaluates the causal link between them. The analysis shows that the banking crisis has resulted from slow structural reforms, inefficient prudential regulation and prolonged unsound lending practices. The probit model estimates illustrate that excessive credit, augmented interest rate spread and overvalued exchange rate exacerbated the banks' liquidity position. The currency crisis was a consequence of expansionary monetary policy, which led to irreversible depletion of international reserves and caused eventual collapse of the exchange rate. The probit estimations found real exchange rate, money multiplier, interest rate, current account balance, ratio of broad money to reserves and credit expansion to be the most relevant indicators of the balance-of-payment crisis. The causal link between the twin crises is explained through expansionary monetary policy that comes as a response to the banking crisis. It focuses on the inability of the central bank to sustain the exchange rate when it faces a run on its reserves.

How to calculate rental yield - Pearl Financial
How to calculate rental yield
By Shane | Investing
Sep 10
Whether you're a seasoned property investor, or you're just getting started on the property investment journey, then you've probably heard the term 'rental yield'. Read on to discover what rental yield is and how to calculate it.
Understanding the rental yield of a property helps you assess the income and cash flow potential of that particular property.
What is 'rental yield'?
Rental yield is a measure of the income that a property generates each year as a percentage of the property's value. Since the formula can be applied to all properties that generate an income, it can be used to compare investment opportunities.
It's important to remember that capital growth isn't considered in the rental yield calculation.
How to calculate 'rental yield'
There are two numbers you need to be able to calculate rental yield:
 1. The annual rent that the property will receive (if you only know the weekly rent, take that number and multiply it by 52 e.g. if the property rents for $500 per week, then the annual rent will be $500 x 52 = $26,000)
 2. The value of the property
Once you have these two numbers, you can plug them into the following formula:
Gross Rental Yield = Annual rent / property value x 100
Let's work through an example.
Assume you have a property valued at $500,000 that is currently rented at $500 per week. We have already calculated above that the annual rent in this scenario is $26,000 so all we need to do is plug the value into the formula. Therefore:
Gross Rental Yield = $26,000 / $500,000 x 100
Gross Rental Yield = 5.2%
This means that the property generates income equal to 5.2% of the property's value.
Is Gross Rental Yield the same as Net Rental Yield?
Nope, gross rental yield doesn't take into account the expenses of the property. This means that if a property has a high rental yield but also has high expenses then it's net rental yield may not be the same as a comparable property that has lower expenses.
I will run you through how to calculate Net Rental Yield in another article.

Lately, a lot of you've been requesting me about raspberry ketones and their ability to miraculously shrink fat. In the end, it's been obtaining a quantity of press interest. The supplement has been applauded as lots one weight loss wonder, but is that really true? Are raspberry ketones the latest tool in the collection against extra fat? Can you actually merely purchase fat loss in a bottle?
What Is Raspberry Ketone?
Raspberry ketone is the substance that provides red their tasty odor to raspberries. Scientists will be able to create the raspberry ketone substance in a lab. The quantity of raspberry ketones in supplements is considerably greater than eating raspberries by themselves.
How Raspberry Ketone Manufacturers State it Assists Fat Reduction
According to manufacturers' claims, raspberry ketones control the hormone adiponectin, which is commonly present at lower amounts in individuals with obesity than those without it. Some studies demonstrate that increasing adiponectin levels can help treat insulin problems including metabolic syndrome and sort 2 diabetes by increasing insulin sensitivity. Insulin opposition is a crucial factor in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Raspberry ketones may additionally control norepinephrine, which could result in a minor increase in body temperature.
Nothing Fresh about Raspberry Ketones
Raspberry ketone supplements have been with us for a long time. Actually, they are promoted worldwide because the 1960s. Rather, it's all of the ballyhoo that is fresh as producers attempt to profit on people's readiness to try something to lose weight.
Raspberry Ketone Studies
The statements about raspberry ketones appear to originate from two small-scale animal studies. Within the initial study, scientists showed the material's effectiveness in controlling fat deposition in men rodents. In a 2nd, which was performed on a little sample of mice, raspberry ketone seemed to avoid fat deposition in mice given a high fat diet. So far, no individual studies exist demonstrating the effectiveness of raspberry ketones for fat reduction in individuals, although historical proof appears to indicate it could be useful in some instances.
How Do Animal Studies Convert to Humans?
According to mouse, Johns Hopkins Medical and human genomes are about 85% the same, that is why rodents are therefore frequently utilized as a preliminary foundation for learning human biology, genetics, and disorder. What this means is that some results in rats will be in line with findings in individuals while the others will not. Eventually, the greatest determination of how effective a nutritional supplement may take individuals may just come from carefully managed, peer-reviewed, scientific human studies. Raspberry ketones have yet to satisfy this standard. The animal studies are not supported by strong human studies, or has this material been examined in individuals to determine possible unwanted effects and contraindications.
What about Anecdotal Evidence?
While research are objective, historical reports can't be regarded objective evidence since they are based on subjective human reporting. Such signs may be influenced by anticipations, hoopla, and verification bias, leaving it perhaps not always legitimate. Historical evidence might be a great foundation for developing a testable theory, but only restricted scientific individual research can discover a true relationship between raspberry ketones and fat reduction.
No good relationship could be proven between raspberry ketones and individual fat reduction at the moment.
In the wake of raspberry ketones' recent press success, some makers are including other claims for their merchandise, too. One that i've seen quite a bit is that the ketones are anti – aging. While it holds true they include anti-oxidants that combat free radical damage, it is really a large stretch to phone them an anti-aging wonder. If you need to battle aging, eat a plant centered diet with organic anti-oxidants, and that doesn't leave lots of clogging waste inside the body. Don't simply attempt to purchase it only with a tablet.
As GRAS (usually ); nevertheless safe thought to be little Handle The FDA rates raspberry ketones
, the bureau hasn't analyzed or does it help some of the fat loss statements produced about raspberry ketone. Several producers have other elements in their supplements, such as norepinephrine (which may increase blood pressure), hoodia, caffein, capsaicin, and additional possible thermogenic (fat burning) elements. These elements might have a host of adverse, and potentially dangerous, side effects.
Not included in the buzz are the potential dangers of raspberry ketones. Since they control the body's release of norepinephrine, it causes a spike in human body heat that could also result in a short-term metabolic increase. Regrettably, along with increasing body temperature, norepinephrine may additionally increase heartbeat and blood pressure. Individuals with heart problems, diabetes, high bloodstream pressure, COPD, and asthma should all avoid raspberry ketones, which might worsen the above problems.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line on most wonder products recommended for weight reduction — including raspberry ketones — is the fact they're gadgets. Gimmicks weren't liked by me. While numerous individuals would rather purchase a nutritional supplement instead than change what they consume, there's no "wonder pill" for weight reduction, and investing your hard earned money on such is, at best, a waste of cash. At worst, these tablets can have unwanted effects and unregulated ingredients that may damage your wellbeing.
The easiest method to be healthful, maintain it off, and lose weight is to consume a diet of whole, organic meals in moderation and get normal exercise. You need not join an expensive fitness center – – a brisk 30 minute can be taken by you walk five times each week or create a house yoga practice.
While animal research might seem promising on raspberry ketones, it is not even close to definitive. Number individual studies exist that may right back up these statements. Don't waste your money on the trick without proven effectiveness confirmed by large-scale controlled scientific individual studies.
Beyond Fat Reduction
While I realize weight to be lost by the desire, there's no wonder item that will make that happen for you. Slimming down must participate an entire plan for better, more radiant wellness. Also if a wonder product might really assist you dissolve away pounds quickly, if you continue to consume refined foods, sugars, and substances, then you may find very small development inside your wellbeing. The Beauty Detox Program offers a course that targets your health, with improved beauty and fat manage as the unavoidable outcome. Residing a wholesome life-style and consuming whole organic meals may be the most effective method to enhance how you appear and feel.
