Abstract: Abstract: Virgin forests are unique ecosystems, which can be used as etalon for basic biocoenotic investigation. Soil microorganisms are very sensitive reagents on influence of biotical factors, and at the same time are the active producers of phytotoxic and phytostimulating exometabolites. Studies of soil microbiota were conducted in virgin beech forests of Shyrokoluzhansky massif of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve. It was found the ratio and the number of different ecological-trophic groups of soil microor…

TimePilot Tap+
Moving TimePilot Tap+ Clock-In Data to TimePilot Central
If you're using your Tap+ without the cable—that's how we intended it to be used when we designed it—at some point you'll want to get your clock-ins and clock-outs into the TimePilot database on your PC. Here's how:
The red 'Not Connected' means the clock isn't connected to the PC with the USB cable.
1. Click the TimePilot Tap icon (shown at right) on your desktop. The Tap Manager will appear on your screen. (See screenshot above.) Note that the words "Not Connected" appear in the white box. That will change in the next step!
The green 'Connected' means the clock is connected to the PC with the USB cable.
2. Connect the USB cable that came with your Tap+ to the port on the Tap+ clock and plug the other end into a USB port on your computer. In a few seconds, the Red "Not Connected" will change to a green "Connected" and the date and time will appear. (See screenshot above.) At the same time, the clock-in and clock-out data is automatically transferred from the clock to the database, the time on the clock is updated to match the time on your PC and the battery in the clock is recharged.
3. Start TimePilot Central and view your newly imported transactions.

Jamaican Green-and-yellow Macaws (Ara erythrocephala)
The extinct Jamaican Green-and-yellow Macaws (Ara erythrocephala) - formerly occurred in the mountains (presumably forests) of Trelawny and St Anne's parishes on the island of Jamaica in the Caribbean Sea. These macaws is believed to have been hunted to extinction in the early 19th century - probably because of hunting (BirdLife International 2004)..
This species was described by Gosse in 1847 based on a bird "procured by Mr. White, the proprietor of the Oxford Estate" (Rothschild 1905).
The head was right and the body green. The blue-tipped tail was red in the middle and green on top. The lower half of the wings were blue. Both the tail and the wings were orange-yellow underneath. (Rothschild, 1905; Salvadori, 1906a; Greenway, 1958).
Since this macaw is only known from Gosse's notes - no skins, bones or any archaeological remains are known to be in existence - this species is considered a hypothetical extinct parrot species.

A few days ago, a customer told me that he encountered a weird error while using NTBackup to backup the system. The error text looked like this in backup log:
 Media name: "System State.bkf created 8/29/2005 at 5:38 PM"
Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.
"MSDEWriter" has reported an error 0x800423f0. This is part of System State. The backup cannot continue.
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:800423f0
The first thing that we observe is the particularly cryptic message which doesn't really tell anything, except that an error occured. Unfortunately this is an example of a useless message: what is the message transmitted here? What should be the next steps to remedy the situation? Fortunately, developers at Microsoft (including me) started to realize in the last how important is to have the right error message infrastructure in place - but I digress.
Being familiar with VSS, I immediately spotted the issue: 800423f0 is VSS_E_WRITERERROR_INCONSISTENTSNAPSHOT (documented briefly here on MSDN, in the VSS SDK section).
What is an inconsistent shadow copy?
Let me step back and offer some context to this problem. VSS is a complex infrastructure that allows backup applications to create, list, delete shadow copies in order to get a reliable backup. These shadow copies are especially useful during backup, where you need a stable "version" of your data. Shadow copies are nothing more than static images of the system volumes, images that are frozen in time. More technical information about VSS can be found here.
VSS also allows applications to participate in the shadow copy creation process. Applications can receive various notifications during backup and restore - notifications that are used to ensure that these applications do have a consistent stored image on the shadow copy. These notifications are received through some dedicated software components called VSS writers. For example, AD has one writer, Exchange another writer, SQL another one, etc. (you can actually enumerate the writers on your machine and their state through the VSSADMIN LIST WRITERS command).
Now, a consistent image is absolutely needed in order to guarantee a reliable restore of your applications. At restore time, nothing is worse than to discover that your backed-up data is corrupt or inconsistent. And this is the reason for adding a special error code to denote the fact that a certain writer is in "inconsistent state" during the creation of a certain shadow copy set.
For example, if you have a SQL database with the database on X:\ and logs on Y:\, and you create a shadow copy set containing only X:\, then the shadow copy is inconsistent with respect to the SQL writer. That doesn't mean that the shadow copy will be inconsistent with respect to other writers - it is very likely that no other writer will have data on X:\.
What is the solution?
I'm skipping for now the technical details on why this "inconsistent snapshot" can cause problems, and go directly to the solution. The workaround to the NTBackup problem sounds weirder than the usual set of workarounds, but here it is:
1) Isolate all the relevant volumes on the machine that might contain active SQL databases and/or logs.
2) On each of these additional volumes (which are not related with the system state) create one empty file.
3) In NTBackup, along with the system state, include these empty files created above. (but not the large database files). This will include that all these volumes will be part of the shadow copy set, and therefore the MSDE Writer should not fail anymore with 0x800423f0.
This will eliminate the NTBackup error when you have this type of failures with the MSDE/SQL writer. A similar problem can happen with the AD writer (named the NTDS writer on domain controller). The solution is very similar.
Technical details...
Why does this work? Well, it's essentially a limitation of NTBackup. NTBackup doesn't "know" whether the SQL writer is important enough such that a failure in it should abort the system state backup. Part of the reason is the fact that some system services (like UDDI) depend on SQL or MSDE. Also, the particular mode used to create shadow copies is based on the assumption that the correct set of SQL-related volumes need to be present in the set (in the example above, X:\ and Y:\). If one volume is present and the other one is missing, the writer goes into an error state. Now, if you select at least one file in a given volume, NTBackup will include that volume in the shadow copy set. Since both the database & log volumes are now in the set, the SQL writer is happy.
That said, I would also like to mention that the level of integration between NTBackup and VSS is atypical in this specific case - a different backup application should choose to enforce writer consistency not at the volume level, but at the component/file level. Such an backup application will cause the SQL writer to go in a failed state only if you select the database file and not the log file, for example. In other words, if one of the writer-related files is present in the set and the other ones are missing, only then the writer goes in a failed state.
One might appear confusing from the details above. How does the writer know whether the backup application needs volume-level consistency (i.e. NTBackup) or component/file-level consistency (all other backup apps)? The answer is that the application has the ability to choose between the two consistency modes, in the IVssBackupComponents::SetBackupState(...) API. The first parameter dictates the selection model for this backup session. The recommended value is bSelectComponents == TRUE, which also tells that the backup application will select the necessary writer components during backup. The bSelectComponents == FALSE is a value maintained for legacy reasons (compatibility with NTBackup, mainly) but in general, it is not a good choice to use this mode, especially if you want to keep track what writer components are present (and in consistent state) on the shadow copy set.
One more note: The VSHADOW.EXE sample requestor, provided in the VSS SDK, provides a sample implementation of a backup application that works in component mode. BETEST.EXE is a more complex VSS requestor, that uses advanced VSS features.

Weight loss stalls happen when the calories you eat is the same as the calories burned in your body. A weight-loss plateau is when your weight loss stops. It is different from weight gain because it does not add up your weight. A weight-loss plateau is caused by natural reactions in your body and some of it is caused by the foods that you eat. That is why it is important that you would track your weight loss every day.
Weight loss stalls can happen unexpectedly even if you do best in your diet. It is sometimes because of your hormones during your menstruation. However, it will just be gone as soon as your period is done. Weight loss plateau is also caused by changes in the metabolic rate in your body. This is because you accidentally eat too much or fewer calories than what is allowed during the VLCD.
How avoid weight loss stall on P2 of the HCG diet?
- AssessThis means that you have to look back on your habit for the past days. Reassess your habit to be able to determine the cause of the weight stall. Provide a weight loss journal to keep a record of your daily activities, the foods you eat, and other things that are related to your weight loss.
- Cut more caloriesIf you are following the modern VLCD of the HCG diet which is the 800 calorie intake you have to cut it down. Try to do the 5900 calorie diet which is the standard calorie requirement in the original protocol of Dr. Simeons. Sometimes the weight loss stall happens because you eat too many calories than what is being burned. Choose to have low-calorie foods that are allowed during the second phase of the HCG diet.
- Review your exercise routine– An intense workout or too many physical activities can cause high-stress levels. A high-stress level will then cause your hormones in your body to add weight or stall. The VLCD on the HCG diet only allows light physical activities such as cardio, walking, and jogging. This is because HCG will burn your body fats rapidly even without hitting the gym.
- Administer the right dose of HCG shotThe usual dose of HCG injection is from 125 ius or 150 ius depending on your weight loss goal. Having too much dose does not cause over dosage but it can still affect the fat burning. That is why you have to maintain your HCG shot every day as soon as you get up. Avoid missing a dose because it can cause the occurrence of hunger and weight loss stall.
Things you need to stop to avoid stalls during the HCG diet
#1- Stop eating on restaurantsWhen you are on the HCG diet you have to prepare your food at home. Your home will be the safest place when you are doing the HCG diet. Eating in restaurants may affect your diet because the foods you will be eating are not diet-friendly. You have to avoid eating foods that can sabotage your weight loss. Prepare your foods at home and choose whole food choices that are low in calories.
#2- Stop eating foods as much as you want
The second phase of the HCG diet is not the same as the loading phase. This stage is the time that you will cut down your food intake. Start to portion your food intake properly. Do not eat too much or eat fewer calories than what is allowed during the VLCD.
#3- Stop the HCG shot DURING menstruation
If your menstruation occurs amid the VLCD, you can take a break on the HCG shot. This is because PMS or premenstrual symptoms may sometimes cause an issue to your weight loss. Continue the 500 calorie diet but stop your shot for the meantime.
#4- Stop the water retention
Water retention can cause weight loss stall. This is because of the water weights in your body. To stop water retention you have to start drinking an exact amount of water. Water will help in pushing the water weights and fat toxins out of your body.
You can try the apple day if the stall continues
Apple days involve eating on apples only for 24 to 2 days. This is a tactic that will get you back on your diet track. You can have at least 6 apples each day until your weight gets back on track. Start the apple day at noon on the first day and stop it at noon on the next day. This is a good way to get rid of the excess water weights.
Are you allowed to stop the HCG shot abruptly?
No. Maintaining the HCG shot must be upon the recommended duration or until you reach your weight loss goal. Do not stop the usage abruptly without finishing the duration of the VLCD. It is because it can cause problems such as weight loss stall and worst is weight gain. You are just allowed to stop having the HCG when you have menstruation but continue your diet. Get back in using the diet hormone right away when your period is over.
Sample calorie portioning during the VLCD of the HCG diet
For proper calorie intake, you are not allowed to eat solid foods on breakfast. You just have to drink coffee or tea before doing your exercise routine. Lunch and dinner will be your major meal during the VLCD. For your major meals, you must have a portion of 100 grams of lean meat for protein. You must also have a vegetable serving and one fruit. Avoid serving canned vegetables or dried foods because it has added preservatives and sugar.
Avoid mixing vegetables during the VLCD. This is because vegetables have corresponding calorie levels. You can have vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, cabbage, celery, asparagus, lettuce, etc. For fruit choices, you can have an apple, grapefruit, strawberry, oranges, plums, peaches, etc. You can also have more protein sources aside from lean beef meat. You can serve chicken breast, lean crab meat, shrimp, and fish.

WASHINGTON -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its federal partners continue to monitor Hurricane Arthur's impact and northward track. The agency encourages those in Arthur's path to listen to their local officials, monitor storm conditions and take steps to be prepared.
"Residents are urged to continue to listen to the instructions of your local officials," said Craig Fugate, FEMA Administrator. "As the storm continues to move along the east coast, there are a number of areas that can be affected by strong winds, storm surge, inland flooding and tornadoes. If you evacuated and are considering returning home, make sure local officials have deemed the area safe to return."
Through regional offices in Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York and Boston, FEMA remains in close contact with emergency management partners in North Carolina and potentially affected states and has a liaison in the emergency operations center in Massachusetts. FEMA is also working in coordination with the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center.
In advance of the storm, FEMA had liaisons in the emergency operation centers in North Carolina and South Carolina and an Incident Management Assistance Team (IMAT) in North Carolina to coordinate with state, tribal and local officials should support be requested or needed. Additional teams from around the country are ready to deploy to impacted states and tribes as necessary.
According to the National Weather Service, Tropical Storm Warnings remain in effect for portions of the east coast as Hurricane Arthur moves northward. The latest storm tracks, local forecasts and warnings are available at hurricanes.gov and weather.gov.
As the first hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Arthur serves as a reminder for residents in areas prone to tropical storms and hurricanes to refresh their emergency kits and review family emergency plans. Those who do not have an emergency kit or family plan can learn about steps to take now to prepare for severe weather at ready.gov.
The FEMA smartphone app provides safety tips and displays open shelter information at _URL_ Information on Red Cross shelters is available by downloading the Red Cross Hurricane app or by visiting redcross.org.
Safety and Preparedness Tips
- Residents and visitors in potentially affected areas should be familiar with evacuation routes, have a communications plan, keep a battery-powered radio handy and have a plan for their pets. Individuals should visit ready.gov or listo.gov to learn these and other preparedness tips for tropical storms.
- Know your evacuation zone and be sure to follow the direction of state, tribal and local officials if an evacuation is ordered for your area.
- Storm surge is often the greatest threat to life and property from a hurricane. It poses a significant threat for drowning and can occur before, during, or after the center of a storm passes through an area. Storm surge can sometimes cut off evacuation routes, so do not delay leaving if an evacuation is ordered for your area.
- If you encounter flood waters, remember – turn around, don't drown.
- Driving through a flooded area can be extremely hazardous and almost half of all flash flood deaths happen in vehicles. When in your car, look out for flooding in low lying areas, at bridges and at highway dips. As little as six inches of water may cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
- If your home has flood water inside or around it, don't walk or wade in it. The water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline or raw sewage.
- Hurricanes have the potential for tornado formation. If you are under a tornado warning, seek shelter immediately in the center of a small interior room (closet, interior hallway) on the lowest level of a sturdy building. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside.
- Stay off the roads in impacted areas. Emergency workers may be assisting people in flooded areas or cleaning up debris. You can help them by staying off the roads and out of the way.
- If your power is out, safely use a generator or candles.
- Never use a generator inside a home, basement, shed or garage even if doors and windows are open.
- Keep generators outside and far away from windows, doors and vents. Read both the label on your generator and the owner's manual and follow the instructions.
- If using candles, please use caution. If possible, use flashlights instead.
- Avoid downed power or utility lines; they may be live with deadly voltage. Stay away and report them immediately to your power or utility company.
- When the power comes back on, wait a few minutes before turning on major appliances, to help eliminate problems that could occur if there's a sharp increase in demand. If you think electric power has been restored to your area but your home is still without power, call your local power company.
- Get to know the terms that are used to identify severe weather and discuss with your family what to do if a watch or warning is issued.
For a Tropical Storm:
- A Tropical Storm Watch is issued when tropical cyclone containing winds of at least 39 MPH or higher poses a possible threat, generally within 48 hours.
- A Tropical Storm Warning is issued when sustained winds of 39 MPH or higher associated with a tropical cyclone are expected in 36 hours or less.
For coastal flooding:
- A Coastal Flood Advisory is issued when minor or nuisance coastal flooding is occurring or imminent.
- A Coastal Flood Watch is issued when moderate to major coastal flooding is possible.
- A Coastal Flood Warning is issued when moderate to major coastal flooding is occurring or imminent.

High pressure or an 'anticyclone' usually brings a variety of settled, dry weather, depending on the season. During winter the weather under high pressure over the UK can be often cold and cloudy during the daytime with nights often cold enough to allow frost to form. Whilst in summer it can cause days to be warm and sunny with nights being often mild, sometimes warm enough to make sleeping very uncomfortable.
Anticyclones form when air subsides, falls, unlike low pressure which forms when air rises. As air subsides it gradually warms, this warming can stop clouds from forming. However if there is some warm air located near the ground, some air may rise and form areas of patchy or high cloud. Anticyclones can be slow-moving and sometimes stubborn to clear. Any depressions which try to get to close to it may circulate around it and dump bad weather somewhere else. With high pressure, winds are lightest at the centre and circulate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
There are two main types of anticyclone, a cold and warm anticyclone. Cold anticyclones form typically over polar climates, here temperatures are very low and the air is often cold and dense. An inversion tends to develop at low altitudes with anticyclones; this prevents clouds from building any further. If this is so, any cumulus which does form during the daytime will quickly stop growing and spread into a layer of stratocumulus and then disperse when night comes. At night when the temperatures drop below freezing frosts are very likely to form.
Warm anticyclones form mainly over tropical or sub-tropical climates, where temperatures are often warm both at day and night. With these highs air is subsiding at quite a depth through the troposphere, this tends to hold back and restrict any cloud formation, if any cloud do form, they will often be erratic and well broken, these being mainly cumulus and stratocumulus.
'Anticyclone gloom' forms when the air at the surface is warm and moist, extensive stratus or fog occurs under the stable, calm conditions, it will remain this way unless the sun is strong enough to burn it away. However in winter low stratus or fog could persist for days, or even weeks in extreme cases.
A 'blocking high' is an area of high pressure which remains stationary for days or even weeks on end. Usually with 'normal anticyclones' they tend to appear and disappear after a short period of time and then allow other weather systems to take over or allow other areas of high pressure to takes its place, however these blocking highs have other ideas.
Ridges are little areas of high pressure which extend out of anticyclones or ahead of depressions; the key difference is that ridges don't have a closed-structured centre.
So where are areas of high pressure likely to form?
Sometimes an area of high pressure may well form over Scandinavia, if this is so it may well drag in warmer air from off the continent, in summer, or drag in very cold air in winter, with the winds coming from a south-easterly direction, or the high may bring in an easterly.
An area of high pressure may well form out in the Atlantic and remain there, just west of the UK, if this is the case, depressions may well approach from the north-west or indeed the north, once these depressions move through they could well bring colder air.
The 'Azores high' is what usually influences our weather in summer, it can bring warm or even hot weather during daytime and make nights feel quite warm and sticky.. The high may move northward to cover Scotland or stay stuck just south of the UK.
Whatever the situation, an area of high pressure can form anywhere at any time and one thing is for certain, it is capable of changing the weather.

Scrofula is a tuberculous infection of the lymph nodes in the neck.
Scrofula in adults is most often caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In children, can also be caused by Mycobacterium scrofulaceum or Mycobacterium avium.
Infection with mycobacteria is usually caused by breathing in air that is contaminated by these organisms.
Exams and Tests
Tests to diagnose scrofula include:
- Biopsy of affected tissue
- Chest x-rays
- CT scan of the neck
- Cultures to check for the bacteria in tissue samples taken from the lymph nodes
- HIV blood test
- PPD test
- Other tests for TB
When infection is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, treatment usually involves 9 - 12 months of antibiotics. Several antibiotics need to be used at once. Common antibiotics for scrofula include:
- Isoniazid (INH)
When infection is caused by another type of mycobacteria (which often occurs in children), treatment usually involves antibiotics such as rifampin, ethambutol, and clarithromycin.
Surgery is sometimes used first. It may also be used if medications are not working.
With treatment, patients usually make a complete recovery.
- Draining sore in the neck
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your child has a swelling or group of swellings in the neck. Scrofula can occur in children who have not been exposed to someone with tuberculosis.
People who have been exposed to someone with tuberculosis of the lungs should have a PPD test.

In ancient times, Jerusalem was seen as the center of the physical world. Presently, it is the spiritual center for three of the world's major religions. The many imaginings and re-imaginings of this holy city have inspired the creation of countless pieces of art, poetry and prose, and have certainly influenced mapmaking. Based on sacred and historic texts, personal accounts and, of course, artistic musings, these maps and other artifacts provide a window into the real, spiritual and imagined world of Jerusalem.
Imagining Jerusalem marks the 20th anniversary of an important donation of antique Holy Land maps by James C. and Adina P. Simmons of Tel-Aviv, Israel, and Tallahassee, Florida. The exhibition coincides with the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, which celebrates the rededication of the Jewish Temple (The Second Temple) after its desecration by the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes in the second century BCE.
Imagining Jerusalem presents antique maps, historic photographs and rare books depicting, idealizing and imagining Jerusalem. It is a collaborative effort between the Map and Imagery Library and the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica at the University of Florida. The online exhibition is based on the exhibition of the same name that was presented at the University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries, November 13 - December 14, 2012.Curated by Rebecca Jefferson and Carol McAuliffe

Palindrome Activities for Children
To be used with Mom and Dad Are Palindromes: A
Dilemma For Words... and Backwards
by Mark Shulman and illustrated by Adam McCauley
Recommended for 3rd and 4th grade students, though
2nd graders are invited to try. (Ages 8-10).
Before reading Mom and Dad Are Palindromes aloud to the children, it is important that they have an understanding of what a palindrome is.
First, the activity leader or teacher (like Miss Sim in the story), should help the children recognize a palindrome. She might show a small group of words which include easily recognizable palindromes and one word which is not (for example: MOM, DAD, SIS, bro) as a way into the conversation.
The children can identify which word is different and then, looking at the other words, create their own definition of a palindrome. Once the students can identify a palindrome, it will be fun to show them examples of words, phrases, and sentences that are palindromes such as these below found in Mom and Dad Are Palindromes.
After children are familiar with how to identify palindromes, the activity leader or teacher should tell the children the book is called Mom and Dad Are Palindromes, and ask why the book has that title. Are "Mom" and "Dad" palindromes?
Next, the children can be asked to come up with their own palindromes. The leader can put together a list on the board (or a big piece of butcher paper taped to a wall) including children's suggestions and the leader's favorites as well.
At this point, the activity leader should read out a partial list of the palindromes from the book. Again, she should include words, phrases, and sentences. When she starts, the students should work together to prove that each example is a palindrome. (Hint: she can go through the book and simply point out the words that have ornate capitalized type! Though there are many more palindromes hidden in the artwork too.)
Here is a partial list of palindromes (there are more than 101) found in the book:
AT LAST! Read the book to the children. Now that they are familiar with the concept, they will enjoy the story. The first time they hear it, they will get to enjoy the zany tale of the hero, Bob, and his big dilemma. The activity leader should show the children the colorful pages and humorous illustrations. The children should recognize on their own that the palindromes are called out in different type. They should be listening for the palindromes as well. Perhaps the palindromes they remember at the end of the book can be added to the list on the board.
If there is more time: The activity leader or teacher can share a complete list of the palindromes in the book with the children. She can have the children investigate them with a partner on a handout, illustrate them on cards, and, if you are in a classroom, add them to their word wall, or share them with parents as homework to explain to an adult what a palindrome is.
At this point, it would be a fun challenge to look more closely at the artwork in the book. Click here to download a pdf of the scene when Miss Sim explains what a palindrome is. Print this out and make a copy for each child.
Encourage children to examine the page spread and pick out the palindromes in the background. The shorter palindromes are obvious; keener eyes will find the longer ones, and extra credit goes to the children who discover that numbers can be palindromes as well.
Students would then enjoy looking at some of the other pages in the book to find the palindromes hidden in the artwork throughout.
The teacher can write or copy the sentence found on the endpapers of the book on the board for students to read and figure out why it would be printed so prominently. Where does it reverse? What's the center letter?
Adventurous children can try to create their own stories around the list of palindromes in the book or by using the list you've created as a group together.
Q. What makes these words alike?
A. They're all palindromes. Palindromes are words that read the same forward and backward!

Blossom Project
I'm working on the blossom project under computer science, I noticed that under the LinkedList class which has a iter method that uses the (get_value()) method created in the Node class.
However when instantiating a LinkedList, there's no such variable that is created using the Node class. Like at all.
So how can Node.get_value() be used to iterate the LinkedList instances?
class Node:
 def __init__(self, value):
 self.value = value
 self.next_node = None
 def get_value(self):
 return self.value
 def get_next_node(self):
 return self.next_node
 def set_next_node(self, next_node):
 self.next_node = next_node
class LinkedList:
 def __init__(self, head_node=None):
 self.head_node = head_node
 def insert(self, new_node):
 current_node = self.head_node
 if not current_node:
 self.head_node = new_node
 next_node = current_node.get_next_node()
 if not next_node:
 current_node = next_node
 def __iter__(self):
 current_node = self.head_node
 yield current_node.get_value()
 current_node = current_node.get_next_node()
Also, why does the iter method not have next method to go with it too?
When you instantiate a LinkedList here, you can specify its head_node or leave it to its default of None. When you specify its head_node, that will be of class Node, so it already has all the methods of the Node class.
The dunder method __iter__ just serves to explicitly deal with how the iteration should work out when a LinkedList object is iterated.
For reference, here's a video on iterators:

Thanks for the reply
Yeah I see where you're coming from with the head_node, but nowhere in the constructor does it make the head_node an instance of a Node.
And I've seen that video, it's got a next dunder too, so why doesn't this one have it also?
The constructor doesn't have to make it an instance of Node. That's up to the user.
Example from the terminal:
>>> new_node = Node(5)
>>> new_node
<__main__.Node object at 0x7fca61327350>
>>> new_node.value
>>> new_linked_list = LinkedList(new_node)
>>> new_linked_list.head_node.value
>>> type(new_linked.head_node)
As to why they omit or include something in a video, I can't speak to the video and its reasons. For basic functionality though, the code you quoted should do the job.

Instantiating key-value of the flowers was done in the HashMap class instead of LinkedList class, thanks!

Following the "why" format he introduced in The Jewish Book of Why, in this volume Rabbi Alfred J. Kolatch addresses hundreds of questions about the Torah rites and rituals that are followed today. He also traces the origins of the Torah and explains the different methods of interpretation and analysis that are used in its study.
From why Mount Sinai was chosen as the site of the Revelation, to why a Torah scroll must be written on parchment with a quill, to why non-Jews are permitted to handle a Torah scroll, Rabbi Kolatch explores a wide range of fascinating issues simply, concisely, and straightforwardly. As in his other best-selling books, he makes the information both crystal clear for the layman and reflective of the attitudes and practices of Jews of all denominations. This title was previously issued as This Is the Torah.

Mar 28, 2012 / ENERGY GLOBE Award
Project presentation - "Onshore power supply"
The Port of Gothenburg was one of the first ports in the world to offer onshore power supply with high voltage to commercial vessels (year 2000), a technology that reduces local air pollutants, greenhouse gas emissions and noise to a minimum when using environmentally labeled energy.
In total, one in every three vessels that calls at the Port of Gothenburg can now turn off its diesel engines at the quayside and use onshore power supply instead.
The power is supplied by environmentally labeled electricity like wind power. Today the Port is involved in several global collaborative networks for example World Ports Climate Initiative and Clean North Sea Shipping, which are aimed at spreading this technology to other ports around the world.
One result has been the development of the website: _URL_.

Line is the most basic visual element. Lines can be used to define shapes and figures, but also to indicate motion, emotion, and other elements.
Contour lines and hatching
In a woodblock print of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Albrecht Dürer, contour lines — lines that define shapes — are used to mark the outside of all of the elements of the image.
The outline of the hat on one of the horsemen, for example, is clearly made by a few black contour lines. This simple device is so effective that it is hard to remember that there is no hat here, only a few black marks on a white page.
Note, though, that lines are also used to show shading – the shadows caused when light hits one side of an object, leaving the other in shadow. On the hat, for example, the closely spaced lines, called hatching, show that the left side of his hat is in a shadow. This also helps the hat to look more three-dimensional, giving it a sense of form.
Contour lines outline all the figures and forms in the image, creating the illusion of shading and form. In addition, there are horizontal lines in the background. While these create shading, but they also help create the sense that the riders are moving rapidly from left to right. Motion lines may be familiar to you from comic strips, but they appear in all sorts of work.
Organic and inorganic (geometric) lines
In the Dürer print, we can also divide the lines into organic and inorganic (or geometric) lines (see the section on shape for more on organic and inorganic). Organic lines are loose, curving lines like those found in nature. In the Dürer print, the lines of the horses' manes and tails, the figures' hair, and the ruffled clouds are all organic. Inorganic lines are generally straight or perfectly curving lines, like those found in geometry. In this image, most of the lines are organic, but the horizontal lines in the background are inorganic.
We can also look for implied lines. These are not actually drawn, but we can connect the dots (literally or figuratively) to create the lines in our minds. Leonardo da Vinci's Virgin of the Rocks contains wonderful examples of implied lines.
Here, the implied lines are sight lines, which guide us throughout the image. These help us know where to look, and show us what is important in the painting. Follow the gazes of the figures as they look and point at one another. The angel in the red cape to the right looks out at us, and then points at the infant John the Baptist, at the left. He looks at the infant Jesus, who in turn looks back again at him. Above, Mary looks down at Jesus, and also gestures toward him with her hand.
Basically, once we make it into the space of the painting by meeting the gaze of the angel, we become locked in a cycle of movement between the holy figures, guided by their sight lines.

The Promise of Christmas
The Sleighmaker
Reviewed by
Dana A. Lagmay linked the story of Jesus with the myth of Santa Claus in The First Christmas, the introductory volume in his The Promise of Christmas series. The second installment, The Sleighmaker, continues these threads. The new novel offers just enough background so that either story can be read independently, though more enjoyment will likely be garnered through reading the books together.
Twelve years after Jesus's birth, Prince Ezra—protagonist of both novels and son of King Caspar of Arabia, one of the Magi—is now married to Hannah, the beautiful Siberian Princess. They have two children together, a son and a daughter, Nikko and Dasha.
Near Jerusalem, Prince Ezra, King Caspar, Nikko, and their entourage come across Mary and Joseph, who are trying to find their son. Nikko and the others join the search for the boy and, in doing so, stumble upon thieves who want to kidnap them and hold them for ransom. Jesus comes to their rescue. He then presents a special gift to Prince Ezra and reminds him of a promise that was made a long time ago and still needs to be fulfilled.
Later, Ivan, former enemy of Prince Ezra and now a blacksmith in Siberia, builds a special sleigh that becomes instrumental in an unexpected, magical way. The sleigh, pulled by reindeer, is used as part of a rescue effort when Dasha and her Aunt Vera are kidnapped by the same thieves Prince Ezra encountered earlier.
Some of Lagmay's characters are one-dimensional and are moved around like chess pieces on the board of the narrative. Fortunately, other characters are strong and unforgettable, like Prince Ezra, Princess Hannah, Nikko, and Dasha. The relationship among these characters, like an engine of unconditional love, forms the heart of the novel. Such a strong core may allow some readers to overlook the typos, misspellings, and awkward sentence structure that are all abundant in the book.
The factor that most significantly affects the quality of the novel is that it is written in an inconsistent and clumsy present tense. Lagmay writes, "Jesus then handed the box with the carpenter tools to Ezra and offers him more to think about." In another example, he writes, "Prince Ezra cannot dismiss what Nikko has last said." Numerous instances of faulty syntax slow the pace of the narrative.
Additionally, it can be difficult to determine when scenes are transitioning. Weighty exposition at these points often creates a too-obvious sense of authorial intrusion. Many scenes in the book would be stronger had they been incorporated into the narrative as pieces of the story that show, rather than tell, what happens.
Lagmay's writing has sincerity and conveys a sense of spirituality and innocence that is similar to Helen Taylor's work in Little Pilgrim's Progress, an adaptation of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. The love and respect Lagmay clearly has for his characters is endearing to the extent that readers may be able to turn a blind eye to the novel's shortcomings.
A third volume in the series, The Promise of Christmas: The Promise Kept, is expected*.*

Minerals, west sheet (1906)
Contained within the 1st Edition (1906) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the mineralogy and locations of mineral deposits for Western Canada circa 1906. A line drawn across the map indicates where the Northern, large portion of the Dominion is virtually unprosecuted except along the valleys of the principal rivers, including the Southern, partly prospected areas. Different symbols indicate which type of mineral is located in a specific location. The map includes major cities, rivers, major bodies of water, and some railway systems.

The kappa effect is a spatiotemporal illusion where duration is overestimated with the increase of space. This effect is typically demonstrated with three successive stimuli marking two neighboring empty time intervals, and the classical imputed velocity model, in principle, does not help to predict any spatial effects when only two stimuli, marking single intervals, are presented on each trial. We thus conducted three experiments, examining requirements for the occurrence of the kappa effect with only two visual stimuli. An interstimulus interval between the two stimuli was 217 (short) or 283 ms (long), and participants categorized the presented interval as'short' or 'long'. The key finding is that participants tended to respond'short' more frequently than 'long' when both stimuli were delivered from the same location, whereas the relative frequency of 'long' responses was increased when the two stimuli were delivered from different locations in most directions (i.e., horizontally, vertically, diagonally; Experiment 1). This kappa effect clearly occurred when each stimulus was located 8° apart from the fovea in visual angle, but it was reduced when each stimulus was further deviated from the fovea, regardless of whether the two stimuli were presented in the vertical or the horizontal direction (Experiments 2 and 3). Moreover, increasing the spatial distance between the two stimuli from 15 to 30 cm magnified the effect only in a limited condition (Experiment 3). Implications of these results were discussed in terms of the Bayesian model predicting the effects of spatial acuity.

text: Julia Pastrana (1834 – 25 March 1860) was a woman born with hypertrichosis who took part in 19th-century exhibition tours in North America and Europe. Pastrana, an indigenous woman from Mexico, was born in 1834, somewhere in the Sierra of Sinaloa State. She was born with a genetic condition called hypertrichosis terminalis (or generalized hypertrichosis lanuginosa); that is, her face and body were covered with straight black hair. Her ears and nose were unusually large and her teeth were irregular. This latter condition was also caused by a rare disease undiagnosed in her lifetime, namely Gingival hyperplasia, which thickened her lips and gums. Charles Darwin described her as: "Julia Pastrana, a Spanish dancer, was a remarkably fine woman, but she had a thick masculine beard and a hairy forehead; she was photographed, and her stuffed skin was exhibited as a show; but what concerns us is, that she had in both the upper and lower jaw an irregular double set of teeth, one row being placed within the other, of which Dr. Purland took a cast. From the redundancy of the teeth her mouth projected, and her face had a gorilla-like appearance".

Chemical protective clothing should not be considered as a replacement for engineering control methods. However, there are often few alternatives available, or an emergency (e.g., a spill) requires their use. Since the clothing is the last line of defense for protecting the skin, care must be taken to ensure it provides the protection expected.
The phrase commonly found on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) "Wear impervious (or impermeable) gloves" has very limited value. It is technically inaccurate. No glove material will remain impervious to a specific chemical forever. No one glove material is resistant to all chemicals. Some chemicals will travel through or permeate the glove in a few seconds, while other chemicals may take days or weeks.
Information specifying the best type of chemical protective material is what should be on the MSDS (e.g., neoprene, butyl rubber). If this information is missing, contact the supplier or manufacturer of the product. Manufacturers of chemical protective gloves and clothing may also assist their customers in making the appropriate choices.
Permeation rate is the rate at which the chemical will move through the material. It is measured in a laboratory and is expressed in units like milligrams per square meter per second (or some other [weight of chemical] per [unit area of material] per [unit of time]). The higher the permeation rate, the faster the chemical will move through the material.
Permeation is different from penetration. Penetration occurs when the chemical leaks through seams, pinholes and other imperfections in the material: permeation occurs when the chemical diffuses or travels through intact material.
Breakthrough time is time it takes a chemical to permeate completely through the material. It is determined by applying the chemical on the glove exterior and measuring the time it takes to detect the chemical on the inside surface. The sensitivity of the analytical instruments used in these measurements influence when a chemical is first detected. The breakthrough time gives some indication of how long a glove can be used before the chemical will permeate through the material.
Degradation is a measurement of the physical deterioration of the material due to contact with a chemical. The material may get harder, stiffer, more brittle, softer, weaker or may swell. The worst example is that the material may actually dissolve in the chemical.
Based on the above information, it becomes apparent that you must carefully choose the appropriate material for each job. Before deciding about which kind of glove or other chemical protective clothing to use, you should gather and analyze information on a number of factors such as:
Suggested materials should be selected based on quantitative information such as permeation rate, breakthrough time, penetration and degradation, and the other considerations mentioned above. Various factors like the thickness of the material, manufacturing methods, and product quality control can have a significant effect on these properties.
For a few specific situations when it is impossible to predict the variety of hazards, multilaminate gloves made of layers of several different materials are available.)

Note: The mention of trade name products in the above table is not intended as a recommendation or endorsement of any product. Checking on any TM will take you to the web page "Personal Protective Clothing - Trade Names & Manufacturers". This document lists trade names of protective clothing material mentioned in OSH Answers, the name of companies to which the trade names are registered, and a brief description of the protective clothing material. Check with your supplier or the manufacturer to find out if a particular glove meets your requirements. This list is not intended to be comprehensive; you may know of other products that meet your needs.
Since there are many hazards, hand protection can be provided in a variety of ways: finger guards, cots and thimbles, hand pads, mitts, and gloves.
The selected glove should be carefully tested in the actual job conditions. In some situations it may be desirable to do laboratory tests on the gloves using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) methods. This is especially important if you do not have information of the permeation time of a particular chemical you are using or if you are using mixtures of solvents or chemicals. Some glove manufacturers may undertake these tests for their customers.
A process needs to be in place to ensure a competent person reviews the selection and use of chemical protective clothing. If chemical protective gloves and clothing are required, there should be a complete program in place that includes
A successful program will ensure that any changes in chemicals being used are accounted for, will uncover any problems and will result in necessary changes or improvements.
Unfortunately, chemical protective clothing are often considered as a fast and easy method of providing skin protection. The long-term costs of setting up and maintaining a chemical protective clothing program may be higher than the costs for implementing proper engineering controls. In addition, even with the use of gloves, the risk of contact with the chemical still remains. However, in many situations, when the engineering controls for enclosing hazardous chemicals are not practicable, a chemical protective clothing program becomes essential for the protection of workers.
Since personal protective equipment such as gloves are the last line of defense, considerable effort should be expended to ensure that adequate protection is actually being provided.
Many manufacturers of chemical protective clothing provide charts and computer software to help in selecting the appropriate gloves when working with a chemical or a specific mixture. In addition, there are various glove-material compatibility charts and other glove selection aids available from independent sources. However care must be taken in interpreting generic information, since the properties, thicknesses, and quality assurance of glove materials may vary between manufacturers.
For solvent mixtures, however, tests may have to be carried out if data are not available of the specific mixture. The reason for this is that the properties of the mixture, especially permeation time, cannot be predicted by using data from the individual components of the mixture.
Protective clothing has been recommended for some materials on our web site. Please refer to Chemical Profiles in the Chemicals and Materials section for information on some selected chemicals. The CCOHS database CHEMINFO also has occupational health and safety information such as recommendations for chemical protective clothing for some 1,300 chemicals.

text: Abstract With the increasing use of ultra-hard abrasives and the introduction of more powerful and rigid machines, honing process is spreading its performances. In industrial honing of cylinder liners for internal combustion engines, the degree of penetration that Metallic Bonded Diamond (MBD) abrasive stones have experienced compared to conventional Vitrified Bonded Silicon Carbide (VBSC) tools is obvious. The long tool life of metal bonded diamond sticks is however balanced by its main role in producing torn and folded metal without cutting-effect finish. To simultaneously reduce folding and remove the stock with improved stone life, an experimental investigation is reported on the process variability in finish honing behavior due to stone inconsistency and nature of its properties. We consider the achievable performances by finish honing of cast iron liners with a new abrasive stone. This superabrasive consists of micro-sized diamond abrasives which are bonded with vitrified bond (VBD). By selection of finer grit abrasive while honing with VBD tool, conditions could be created that gave a cutting-effect finish to the diamond honing and minimized the folding over.

Scholarship of Discovery, Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Scholarship of Faith Integration
The purpose of this project is to empower Christian young adults to engage with secular literature adolescent literature in a manner that encourages them to grow in their faith. The project has three main components: a case study article on Christian reading practices based on their reviews of The Shack, a literature review of Christian reading theory, and a five day instructional unit plan designed to teach high school freshmen Christians to engage appropriate with secular literature.
In the case study, over 400 Amazon.com reader reviews and comments on the Christian fiction novel The Shack were examined in order to determine a description of Christian reading practices. The analysis revealed that Christians have diverse reading practices but still share central concerns about discerning truth, determining texts' meanings, and interacting with literature in a way that pleases God.
The literature review on Christian reading theory explored the existing theories on why and how Christians should read secular literature. Five broad categories surfaced from the synthesis of the existing research. These categories included the ideas that Christians should practice discernment in what they read, look for God's truth in secular literature, analyze the structure of texts, appreciate the beauty of literature, and use literature as a means for exploring other worldviews.
The instructional unit plan was modeled after the literature review with each day of instruction representing one of the five categories covered in the literature review. The instructional unit was designed with the constructivist philosophy of education in mind, giving students the opportunity to explore the ideas presented to them but ultimately draw their own conclusions. The unit was taught in January 2011 to the Freshmen English class at Kankakee Trinity Academy. Teacher reflections are included after each lesson.

Well this question actually boils down to "How is the complex exponential defined?"
Here is my view of this problem:
$$f(x+iy)= e^{x}(\cos(y)+i\sin(y) ) \,.$$
Then $f$ has continuous partial derivatives $f_x$ and $f_y$, and verifies the Cauchy-Riemann equations, thus it is analytic.
Moreover, for any $z_1,z_2 \in {\mathbb C}$ we have
$$f(z_1+z_2)=f(z_1) f(z_2) \,.$$
Last but not least $f(x)=e^x$ for all $x \in {\mathbb R}$.
In particular we showed that $e^x$ can be extended to an analytic complex function, and the theory tells us that such extension is unique.
Now, since $f(z)$ is the unique analytic extension of $e^x$ to the complex plane, and it also satisfies the exponential relation $f(z_1+z_2)=f(z_1) f(z_2)$, we call this function $e^z$.

I'll copy my answer to this question:
f(x) = cos(x) + i*sin(x)
df/dx = -sin(x) + i*cos(x)
 = i*f(x)
So that
∫(1/f(x)) df = ∫i dx
ln(f(x)) = ix + C
f(x) = e^(ix + C) = cos(x) + i*sin(x)
Since f(0) = 1, C = 0, so

There appear to be some gaps here; the most significant one concerns the use of a complex logarithm. You seem to have overlooked the fact there are many more solutions to exp(C) = 1 than merely C = 0. Their existence is an implication of Euler's formula itself. To avoid circular logic, the crucial thing is to make clear what definitions you are using for exp, sin, and cos (and also, in this case, of the complex logarithm). – whuber Aug 30 '10 at 14:21

An easy way out to answer the question is when we try to extend the definition of exponential to complex plane in a "nice" way (read "nice" as holomorphic) we then end up with this definition. And as you are probably aware there is only at most one such extension. So if we want to define our exponential in the complex plane such that the exponential function is holomorphic, and it matches with the conventional exponential function on the real line, we end up with $e^{it} = \cos(t) + i \sin(t)$.
All the other answers I think are circular in some sense.
For instance, how do we know that we can expand $e^{i x}$ as a power series. All we know is that we can expand $e^{x}$ as a power series when $x$ is real. We do not know apriori that the expansion can be carried forward if $x$ happens to be complex.
share|improve this answer
Any answer will have to give/assume some definition of what $e^{it}$ means, but that is not the same as assuming the result. For example, taking the unique holomorphic extension of $\exp$ (as you suggest) leads to the power series expansion. But then the formula in question holds based on the series for $\exp$ and the series for the real functions $\sin$ and $\cos$, as shown in Isaac's answer, but this formula is not actually part of the definition. Answers that don't give full justification may be incomplete as far as rigorous proof goes, but that is different from being circular. – Jonas Meyer Nov 25 '10 at 14:30

$$ e^{\mathbf{J}t} \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} = \left( \mathbf{J}^0 + \frac{t}{1!} \mathbf{J}^1 + \frac{t^2}{2!} \mathbf{J}^2 + \frac{t^3}{3!} \mathbf{J}^3 + \frac{t^4}{4!} \mathbf{J}^4 + \cdots \right) \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} \\ = \left( \begin{bmatrix}1&0 \\ 0&1 \end{bmatrix} + t \begin{bmatrix}0&1 \\ -1&0 \end{bmatrix} - \frac{t^2}{2!}\begin{bmatrix}1&0 \\ 0&1 \end{bmatrix}-\frac{t^3}{3!}\begin{bmatrix}0&1 \\ -1&0 \end{bmatrix}+ \frac{t^4}{4!}\begin{bmatrix}1&0 \\ 0&1 \end{bmatrix}+\cdots\right)\begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} \\ = \begin{bmatrix} 1 + 0 - \frac{t^2}{2!} - 0 + \frac{t^4}{4!} + \cdots \\ 0 - t - 0 + \frac{t^3}{3!} + 0 + \cdots \end{bmatrix} \\ = \begin{bmatrix} \cos(t) \\ - \sin(t) \end{bmatrix} $$ The result is a parametrization of a helix curve. That means Eulers formula simply shows how one can parametrize a helix using the exponential function.
The result can also be written like $$ e^{\mathbf{J}t} \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} = \left( \cos(t) + \mathbf{J} \sin(t) \right)\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} $$ making the connection to the traditional form of Eulers formula manifest.
It should be noted that with $\mathbf{K}=\begin{bmatrix}0&1 \\ 1&0 \end{bmatrix}$ the following relation can be proved in the same way: $$ e^{\mathbf{K}t} \begin{bmatrix}1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} = \left( \cosh(t) + \mathbf{K} \sinh(t) \right)\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} $$

The Genius of the Mot Juste
While the first two members of the holy trinity of post-classical Western literature, Shakespeare and Dante, either need no translation or are well-served by several, its third member, Pushkin, alas, can only be honored in the breach by those who have no Russian.
One does not have to be Nabokov to discountenance all attempts to translate into English the most famous love poem in the Russian language, Pushkin's "Ia pomniu chudnoe mgnoven'e" ("I remember the miraculous moment"), published in 1827 and learned by heart––to this day!––by every Russian schoolchild. Here it is untranslated (the truncated title, with asterisks standing for the remainder of her surname, hides its dedicatee, Pushkin's "whore of Babylon," Anna Kern):
Я помню чудное мгновенье:
Передо мной явилась ты,
Как мимолетное виденье,
Как гений чистой красоты.
В томленьях грусти безмятежной,
В тревогах шумной суеты,
Звучал мне долго голос нежный,
И снились милые черты.
Шли годы. Бурь порыв мятежный
Рассеял прежние мечты,
И я забыл твой голос нежный,
Твои небесные черты.
В глуши, во мраке заточенья
Тянулись тихо дни мои
Без божества, без вдохновенья,
Без слез, без жизни, без любви.
Душе настало пробужденье:
И вот опять явилась ты,
Как мимолетное виденье,
Как гений чистой красоты.
И сердце бьется в упоенье,
И для него воскресли вновь
И божество, и вдохновенье,
И жизнь, и слезы, и любовь.
What is never mentioned in any of the learned commentaries on this poem is the marked status of the word гений (genij 'genius'), which occurs in the last line of the opening stanza and recurs in the last line of the penultimate. This word, in every European language, has as one of its sub-meanings the definition found in Webster's Third, viz. "a personification or embodiment esp. of a quality or condition: INCARNATION." As a borrowing into Russian from Latin via French, the lexeme by the first quarter of the nineteenth century has admittedly achieved the status of a cliché of the diction of romantic poetry. Nonetheless, to a twenty-first century reader this word––in the context of Pushkin's love lyric––has a special resonance undiminished by its other senses. This is indirectly substantiated by the citation, as the sole example under the fourth and final meaning of the word in the authoritative four-volume Academy dictionary (Словарь русского языка в четырех томах [Moscow, 1981], I: 305: "олицетворение, высшее проявление чего-л." 'personification, highest manifestation of something'), of Pushkin's line from the opening stanza.
Any lover of Russian poetry who does not savor this word in Pushkin's poem at its first occurrence will automatically run the risk of succumbing to the vulgar judgment that routinely consigns the familiar to the dust bin of the banal. To be convinced of this one need only listen to the music of the verse as SPOKEN––not as sung in the many romansy 'art songs' composed to the poem's words (from Glinka on). Perhaps this is too much to ask of us moderns, saturated as we are by the beat of the humdrum. As Pushkin has Mozart say to Salieri in his nonpareil masterpiece, the closet drama Mozart and Salieri:
Когда бы все так чувствовали силу
Гармонии! Но нет: тогда б не мог
И мир существовать; никто б не стал
Заботиться о нуждах низкой жизни;
Все предались бы вольному исскуству.
Нас мало избранных, счастливцев праздных,
Пренебрегающих презренной пользой,
Единого прекрасного жрецов.
Не правда ль?
Tinkering with Idioms through Contamination
One characteristic of idioms is their fixity, which is to say that they are not subject to alteration at the whim of the speaker/writer. When a radio announcer with good diction who is otherwise articulate says "cut him a break" (as did Steve Inskeep, "Morning Edition," NPR, December 20, 2010) instead of the idiomatic "give him a break," one can easily trace the source of the mistake ("cut him some slack") and recognize it as an instance of contamination. All the same, it is a catachresis nonetheless, stylistically offensive and bordering on the ungrammatical.
If You Like
In British English––but never in American––one constantly hears the phrase if you like, equivalent in American English to if you will (or, less typically, so to speak and as it were). British speakers resort to this phrase to qualify the word or clause that is immediately contiguous to it, specifically to blunt their assertory or metaphorical force. As with American if you will, the literal meaning of the phrase is not what is meant; rather, the meaning is "if I may say so," "if I may be allowed to put it this way." (A particularly extreme use of if you like, rising to the status of a verbal tic, can be heard, for example, in the speech of the BBC reporter, Nick Childs.) Alongside other apotropaic expressions heard more and more frequently on both sides of the Atlantic, this exclusively British one is PLACATORY BEFORE THE FACT, uttered not only to defang the purport of whatever is being asserted but to forestall any possible objection. This has the collateral effect of keeping the channel of communication open, specifically by allowing the speaker to control the general tenor of the discourse.
As a contemporary discourse strategy, British if you like is much more frequent than its American equivalent if you will, which has waned markedly since its heyday in the latter part of the preceding century. One can infer that the cultural and social exigencies under which speakers of British English operate still require anodizing their assertory or metaphorical discourse to a higher degree than do their American counterparts.

Then we choose where to install the Satellite Server:
Installation of WinPCap is required. The WinPCap installation window would appear at this step of the installation process:
Then we must configure WinPCap to start on when system starts.
Once finished the installation of WinPCap we would see the following window:
The the license number must be introduced:
Then the parameters of the recon task must be configured:
At the end a restart of the system is required for all changes to take place.
Once finished the Satellite Server can be started from the start menu.
1.4.1 Operation WMI modules in some Windows versions
For security reasons in Windows, some versions have limited users who can remotely query WMI. If these modules were not carried out, the solution is to run the service Satellite Server as an Administrator user.
The process to follow is:
We click right click on the service and enter in Properties
On the Log On window, select an account with Administrator permissions and apply changes:
And following these changes, restart the service.
All parameters that require a timeout or some time are specified in seconds, for example 300 = 5 minutes.
It is important to keep in mind that the latency and snmp intervals are specific for the status change. In case of Boolean checks (port or machine status) the threshold witch defines the change of state is automatic. For the numerical values (latency, network traffic in an interface, disk space, CPU, etc) it is based in a threshold that must be defined in each module.
1.5.1 agent_interval xxx
300 seconds by default (5 minutes), it creates agents with an interval of 5 minutes. Information ins't send to the server till this time has passed. Independently that the checks done by the network server have a lower interval.
1.5.2 agent_theads xxx
Number of threads used for sending agent XML data files.
1.5.3 xxxxxx_interval xxx
Executes all checks (latency, snmp, etc) with some interval. If the current information is different compared with the previous one it sends it instantly. If it is the same it will send it when the agent interval has passed. It is useful to do intesive checks and notify only in case of a status change.
1.5.4 xxxxx_retries xxx
Number of retries in checks (latency, snmp, ping...)
1.5.5 xxxxx_timeout xxx
Timeout in seconds for the SNMP, Latency and Ping checks.
1.5.6 xxxxx_block xxx
Forces the server to execute the checks in blocks of XXX checks. The higher the number (500 tops) the more capacity it would have, but with an increased latency. In some cases it mind be recommended to lower this number (latency, ping and snmp)
1.5.7 xxxxx_threads n
Number of assigned threads to every type of check. It depends on the capacity (CPY and Memory) of the machine. The higher the threads more pressure would be put on the machine but the processing speed would be higher for the satellite server.
1.5.8 log_file /var/log/satellite_server.log
Indicates the file where the Satellite server writes its logs, by default the path is /var/log/satellite_server.log
1.5.9 recon_task xxxxx[,yyyy]
IP Address and network addresses for autodiscovery for example:
1.5.10 server_ip
Pandora FMS Server ip address where the information is send using the tentacle protocol (port 41121/tcp)
1.5.11 recon_mode [icmp,snmp,wmi]
Autodiscovery mode. The system would use the following protocols to in recon checks:
- ICMP: It would just check if the host is alive and the latency time.
- SNMP: If capable it would look for all the interfaces and get it's trafic, general status etc..
It can only use v1 and 2 of SNMP.
- WMI: Similar to the previous but in this case it would show: CPU Usage, Memory and Diskdrives
1.5.12 recon_community aaa,bbb,ccc...
States a list of SNMP communities to be used in autodiscovery mode.
1.5.13 wmi_auth Administrator%password
Specifies a list of groups of User%Password, f.e: admin%1234,super%qwerty. This list is used in autodiscovery mode.
1.5.14 agent_conf_dir
In this directory the config files are automatically of each agent discovered by the satellite server is stored.
1.5.15 group
Specifies the default group for the agents created by the Satellite Server.
1.5.16 daemon 1|0
When set to 1 starts the daemon in the background (by default).
1.5.17 hostfile
It is an alternative method for network scanning. A file is provided with an adress in each line. It can include the hostname as well.
1.5.18 pandora_license xxxxxxx
Here you must input the license number of your Pandora FMS server the same way it appears in the Setup->Licency section. The total number of agents is verified in the pandora console.
1.5.19 remote_config 1|0
Specifies if the autodiscovery agents have enabled remote config to edit them from the console. It enable itself remote config too.
If the free space (in MB) of the partition in which the temporary directory is located. If it's smaller than this value, it would continue generating data packages. It avoids the disk becoming full if the connection with the server is lost during an extended interval under any circumstances.
The default value is '0'. If set to '1', the agent is going to save any XML data files which couldn't be sent and retries later.
If you are in a secured environment under UNIX and want to enable the XML buffer, you should consider changing the temporal directory, since anyone has the right to write into '/tmp'.
SNMP version to use by default (only 1 and 2c are supported). 1 by default.
1.5.23 braa
Path to the braa binary (/usr/bin/braa by default).
1.5.24 fping
Path to the fping binary (/usr/sbin/fping by default).
1.5.25 fsnmp
Path to the SNMP binary(/usr/bin/pandorafsnmp by default).
1.5.26 latency_packets xxx
Number of ICMP packets to send per latency request.
1.5.27 nmap
Path to the nmap binary (/usr/bin/nmap by default).
1.5.28 nmap_timing_template xxx
A value that specifies how aggressive nmap should be from 1 to 5. 1 means slower but more reliable, 5 means faster but less reliable. 2 by default.
1.5.29 ping_packets xxx
Number of ICMP packets to send per ping request.
1.5.30 recon_enabled 0|1
Enable (1) or disable (0) host auto-discovery.
1.5.31 recon_timing_template xxx
Like nmap_timing_template, but applies to Satellite Server and Recon Server network scans. 3 by default.
1.5.32 server_port xxxxx
Tentacle server port.
1.5.33 server_name xxxxx
Name that we want to call the Satellite server (by default localhost.localdomain).
1.5.34 server_path xxxxx
Path where the XML files are copied when the transfer_mode is in local (by default /var/spool/pandora/data_in).
Server parameters passed to the Tentacle.
1.5.36 transfer_mode XXX
File transfer mode. It can be Tentacle or local (by default Tentacle).
1.5.37 Secondary Server
An special kind of general configuration parameter is the definition of a secondary server. This allows the definition of a server to send data to, in a complementary way to the server defined the standard way. The secondary server mode works in two different ways:
- on_error: Send data to the secondary server only in cases it could not send them to the primary one.
- always: Always send data to the secondary server, no matter if it's able to contact the main server or not.
secondary_server_ip 192.168.1.123 secondary_server_path /var/spool/pandora/data_in secondary_mode on_error secondary_transfer_mode tentacle secondary_server_port 41121

Reproduction of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) in the Solomon Islands
- Over a 3-year period (1996–1998), reproduction of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (Jaeger, 1833) was investigated in the Solomon Islands to determine the spawning pattern and whether gametogenesis is continuous or seasonal. The gonad consisted of a single cohort of tubules that developed uniformly. Macroscopic examination of the gonads revealed that mature gametes were present throughout the year. Individuals with gonads at different stages of maturity were present in most samples. Partly spawned gonads were prevalent in females, whereas mature gonads were prevalent in males. The time at which the peak gonad index was recorded differed among years. Although gametogenesis was continuous, with a potential for prolonged gamete release, a period of enhanced spawning occurred during the dry season, from September to December. Maximum gonad indices were reached prior to and during this period of enhanced spawning. Histology revealed that gametogenesis reinitiated in partly spawned gonads, resulting in the presence of gametes at different stages of development in the gonad. The uniform growth of gonad tubules indicated that H. scabra does not conform to the progressive tubule recruitment model described for holothurian oogenesis. Continuous reproduction in H. scabra and prolonged availability of mature gametes would facilitate use of this species for aquaculture.

total acceleration acting on the aircraft, and the G-load "felt" by the aircraft and pilot.
To put it another way-- the apparent centrifugal force created by the rotation about the center of the loop (as opposed to the rotation about the aircraft's CG) is a pseudoforce that is simply equal and opposite to the real, aerodynamic centripetal force generated by the aircraft. That's all it is. Whether or not we count it in our calculations depends on whether we are using an accelerated reference frame that is tied to the aircraft, or an inertial reference frame such as the earth or airmass (in the latter case, assuming that any wind present is linear and not a rotating such as a dust devil or rotating thermal column etc.)
To help understand the advantage of choosing a true inertial reference frame such as the earth over an accelerated reference frame such as one moving with the aircraft, consider this question-- at an instant in time where the G-load is negative (with the stick full aft) near the top of the loop as described in the original question, if we suddenly took away the atmosphere so that the plane was in a vacuum, while preserving the same initial velocity and the same gravitational force, would the "felt" G-load-- the G-load on the G-meter-- instantly go to zero? Why or why not?
Outside links pertaining to the curvature in the relative wind in turning flight (not loops specifically)
"Circling the Holighaus Way" by Richard H. Johnson--A key point is that as a glider circles, if the fuselage is tangent to the curving flow near the CG, then it will not be tangent to the curving flow near the nose--and the yaw string will be slightly deflected to the outside of the turn. There's a bit more to it than that though.
"Spiral Stability and the Bowl Effect" series-- by Blaine Beron-Rawdon-- pertains to stability and control of rudder-controlled rc sailplanes--

In any physical activity or training program, passion plays a fundamental role in persistence, which defines the habits that we manage to acquire in the process.
In this sense, it is important to understand what kind of passion we are talking about when we seek to achieve radical and lasting changes. Next, we will talk about the concept of "harmonious passion", how to apply it and some practical tips to get you started.
What is passion and why is it important?
The concept of "harmonious passion" was conceived by Robert Vallerand, the psychologist who also named "obsessive passion".
Harmonious passion manifests itself mainly through activities that are freely chosen; when you do something because you enjoy it, not because it offers potential rewards, and not to avoid negative repercussions.
Not all moments of harmonious passion are necessarily enjoyable, but overall, they are deeply rewarding. This closely aligns with the ancient Greek notion of eudaimonia, or a type of happiness that results not from overwhelming pleasure but from striving to reach one's full potential by engaging in activities that one considers significant.
However, the great paradox is that, although external achievement is never a primary goal of harmonious passion, when one is fully immersed in what one is doing for the pleasure of the activity itself, often (external achievement) it is a by-product.
How to apply this concept to training or physical activity?
It is clear that an elite athlete, by himself, is passionate about what he does. In such a case, the focus should be on learning to enjoy the process, rather than permanently focusing on an outcome. Which, in the world of high performance sports, is already a very complex task.
But here we want to focus on those people who are new to the world of physical activity and training, and even those who have only thought about starting, or returning after a long time.
One of the key tasks, in any case, is to establish goals and objectives at different levels and for different periods within a training plan. This implies clearly defining what I want to achieve, establishing reasonable objectives in relation to the current condition, sports background or history, previous experiences, among others.
Setting goals and objectives is a powerful tool to increase the level of participation in a training program, or in any activity that you want to improve. The feelings of success and competition, product of the achievement of each one of the goals and objectives, favor the commitment and help to maintain the attitude towards training, nutrition, rest, etc.
"Those who focus more on success are the least likely to succeed. Those who focused less on success and focus on the process of participating in their task are more likely to do so. "The Passion Paradox
Practical _TAG_ for a week
Thinking without executing is just an illusion. Let's do it!
- Goal day 1: Put down your wishes regarding physical activity or sports training on paper (yes, write them down!). As crazy as they may sound today, write them down.
- Goal day 2: Select one that is very important to you and set a time limit to achieve it.
- Goal day 3: Breakdown into short, medium and long-term goals.
- Goal day 4: Write the activities that you like and can lead to the achievement of your goal.
- Goal day 5: Write the activities that are not to your liking but that you would be willing to do at least with some frequency, because you know that they are a condition for achieving the objective.
- Goal Day 6: Plan a weeklong schedule with daily goals that represent a challenge in its entirety (the entire week) but are easy to achieve with the goal of one day. For every 3 tasks that you like, comply with 1 that is not but that is very necessary for your objective. It doesn't matter how tiny they may sound to others or to anyone who doesn't motivate you to keep going. A goal for the day might be, go down 5 blocks before you get to work on public transportation and walk those 5 blocks. The important thing is that it is challenging for you and only for you!
- Goal day 7: Schedule logistics to bring the week you have planned to reality.
Well, you already know what the goal of day 1 of week 2 is: Perform your work of the day!
"Small daily improvements create great results over time"R. Sharma
Harmonious passion is not something that happens magically, instead it requires work and practice. This is especially true in a culture that motivates the dark side of passion. Our result-oriented culture, obsessed with instant gratification, tends to judge ourselves, by the context of social media opportunity, and trains our eye for external achievements and victories.
Creating a sustainable harmonious passion – the best kind of passion – demands going against the grain and cultivating a radically different mindset.
